Set in the near future, aging ex-convict and thief Frank Weld lives alone and suffers from increasingly severe mental deterioration and dementia. Frank's son Hunter, an attorney with a family of his own, grows tired of making weekly visits to his father's home without his kids, but is reluctant to put his father into full-time care, so he purchases a robot companion, which is programmed to provide Frank with therapeutic care, including a fixed daily routine and cognition-enhancing activities like gardening.

Initially wary of the robot's presence in his life, Frank warms up to his new companion when he realizes the robot is not programmed to distinguish between legal recreational activities and criminal ones, and can assist him in lock-picking. Together, the two commit a heist in order to win the affection of the local librarian, Jennifer: they steal an antique copy of ''Don Quixote'' from the library, which is being renovated and turned into a community center in the wake of declining interest in print media.

In the meantime, Frank's daughter Madison, who is away on a philanthropic trip in Turkmenistan, learns of the robot and returns to convince her father to get rid of the machine, which she finds ethically objectionable. Frank insists on keeping the robot, and they commit one last heist, stealing jewels from Jake, the rich young developer at the head of the library renovation project. The police become involved and begin to question and monitor Frank, who maintains his innocence, feigning deathly illness so that Hunter will return to see him. In order to cover his tracks, Frank is faced with the decision of whether to wipe the memory of his robot, even as his own memory rapidly deteriorates.

Frank goes to the library where he discovers that Jennifer is his ex-wife, which he had forgotten. He then returns home where the robot convinces him to wipe its holographic memory; it argues that it is not a real person and its sole reason for existence is to help Frank, which it can best do by helping him avoid jail. Frank then moves into a full-time care facility to help him cope with his dementia. During a visit from his family, he slips Hunter a note, implying that the jewels are hidden under the tomato plants in the garden that the robot made.

The book starts with Sydney being woken by her history/magic teacher and asked a personal question. Ms Terwiliger then drags her out to the middle of the desert so she can perform a spell, which she can't do herself because it has to be done by a virgin. Sydney is still resistant to learning magic but does the spell anyway. Her teacher is worried by Sydney's findings, as it means her older sister is nearby, and she uses an evil spell to suck the youth and power out of teen girls, which means Sydney may be in danger. Ms Terwiliger tells Sydney that she has to develop her magical skills quickly, whether she wants to or not.

Sydney is invited to Sonya and Mikhail's wedding, as are the other two Alchemists that were on house arrest with her after the escapade with Rose. This is because the Moroi are trying to make amends to them. She is supposed to be flying separately from Adrian so people don't find out they are in the same place but, due to an overbooked plane, Sydney gets switched to Adrian's flight. She tells him he can't love her, but he says he is going to keep doing so whether she loves him back or not, and he is convinced she is in love with him and just doesn't know it yet. Changing the subject, Sydney ends up telling him about Ms Terwiliger and the desert spell, and the fact that she is supposed to find one neighbourhood in L.A. At the wedding, Sydney is shocked by the strength of Ian's revulsion to the Moroi, who doesn't even want to shake hands with any Moroi. Sydney is the put on the spot when Adrian asks her to dance in a show of fostering good relations. She accepts, and Sonya and Rose comment on how good they look together, troubling Sydney. Later in the evening, she goes outside in the moonlight with Adrian to do the spell again, this time to try to find Marcus Finch, and she sees a building in Santa Barbara.

Back in Palm Springs, Sydney has to fix Angeline's math problem by finding her a tutor, and eventually, Trey agrees to do it, but little does she know, that leads to Angeline cheating on Eddie with Trey. Sydney's problems mount as Ms Terwiliger wants her and Adrian to go and warn potential victims of her sister (in disguise of course). That leads to romantic interludes, including one that leaves her with a hickey. Sydney keeps telling herself to forget about them and is in complete denial of her feelings for Adrian.

She finally finds Marcus, but not before ending up in a fight with him. She sees a girl who was with the Warriors with Marcus and learns that she is a double agent. She discovers that Marcus finds Alchemists and Warriors that want to leave their groups, and helps them. He also says that he can break the group compulsion in the Alchemist tattoos, but that she has to pull off a mission to collect evidence of Alchemists and Warriors working together first. She uses Ian's crush on her to get access to an Alchemist facility and, using magic, collects the information she needs. She then agrees to the process of breaking her tattoo, but almost gets herself into a trap by questioning her superior. She has to cover her tracks, but her quick thinking has unforeseen consequences.

Adrian goes with Sydney to the bed-and-breakfast Veronica was staying at and explains to her why he knows she's in love with him. He says it's because of what her aura does when he touches her, and he's about to kiss her when the receptionist comes in, causing Sydney to pull away and her cross necklace to come off, and her other necklace, which protects her, to slip.

The Angeline and Trey situation is discovered and Eddie is hurt. Marcus takes his recruits to Mexico to 'seal' their tattoos with special indigo ink. Sydney refuses to go with them, preferring to work from the inside, which the ex-Alchemists warn her against. Ms. Terwiliger's sister Veronica turns up in the coma that is the trademark aftermath of her spell. The receptionist, Alicia, is revealed to be using it after Sydney's car explodes into foam. She finds her cross inside it, which is why she went after one of Jackie's coven sisters: she doesn't need the youth, just the power.

After going to Jackie's house with Adrian, worried when she didn't answer her phone, Sydney has to engage in a magical showdown with Alicia, accidentally sets the house on fire, and they just barely manage to escape. Jackie's thirteen cats then lead them to her.

Sydney eventually decides to go to Mexico with Marcus to get her tattoo sealed, and finds it hard to say goodbye to everyone, especially Adrian, who leaves her a letter. Before she gets on the train to Mexico, she changes her mind and realizes she loves Adrian and doesn't want to leave him. This is based on Jill's advice and a story from her and Adrian's old self-defense teacher, who told it to her when she went to return the gun she borrowed from him. She follows the latitude and longitude directions Adrian left her, and finds him at a museum of Roman antiquities. She professes her love for him and tells hims she's staying and that they will date in secret.

When she gets back to the school, she finds her little sister, Zoe, waiting for her in her room, with a golden lily on her cheek. This is Stanton's answer to her plea for more help and protection, along with another Dhampir.

On Papua, the easternmost island in Indonesia, Thomas, Mazmur, and their friends are waiting for a teacher, who should arrive through the small airstrip in their village; the airstrip is their only contact with the outside world. They have been without a teacher for six months. They have studied on their own from nature and their elders, such as the priest Samuel (Lukman Hakim), doctor Fatimah, and the elders Ucok and Jolex, but it is not enough.

However, Mazmur's father is killed by the father of their friend Agnes. This news drives Mazmur's uncle, Michael, and his wife Vina (Laura Basuki) to come to the village from their home in Jakarta. They arrive in the village as tensions continue to build. Michael tries to ease tensions between the two factions, but is unsuccessful; his other brother, Alex, despises Michael's modern way of life and insists that the killers must pay an eye for an eye. While open violence breaks out among the adults, the children – despite being from different factions – continue to play together and learn with Vina.

Tammy is waiting to hear from her lover Pete, who has gone to agricultural college. She decides to go to college to improve herself. Tammy becomes a paid companion for a crusty old lady and falls for a handsome man.

Mrs. Call requires surgery in Los Angeles and is accompanied there by her young companion Tammy, a country girl from Mississippi, who later lands a job with the hospital staff. Tammy is attracted to handsome Dr. Mark Cheswick, whose superior, Dr. Bentley, and head nurse Rachel Coleman aren't sure that romance is a good idea.

Monroe is a young boy whose mother has recently died. She was a painter who is known to have never finished a painting, having created over 300 incomplete works. Monroe is told by his orphanage that he is only allowed to keep one of her paintings, so he chooses her favorite, a painting of a swan missing its neck.

One night, Monroe wakes up to find the swan has escaped its painting, and he chases it until he finds himself in a mysterious painted world. With the help of his mother's magical silver paintbrush, Monroe begins to explore the painted world as he chases the swan. He soon discovers the remains of a vast but deserted kingdom, where he learns that the kingdom was once ruled by the King, who used his powers to build the kingdom. However, due to a combination of his negligence and incompetence, all of the King's subjects became fed up with his rule and left the kingdom.

Monroe continues to pursue the swan to a distant island off of the coast. There, he learns that the King, wanting to leave behind some sort of legacy, decided to make a family, so he painted a woman to be his companion. The two quickly fell in love, and the woman became pregnant. However, she left without a trace, implying that the woman is in fact Monroe's mother, making him the King's son. Monroe continues to travel deeper into the island where he finds a massive, but incomplete, statue of the King. He further learns that the King, depressed at the departure of his wife, decided to build the statue to serve as his lasting legacy, but his powers began to fade until he fell into an eternal sleep. Monroe climbs his way to the top of the statue where he finds the King, who finally wakes up.

The King (voiced by Terry Gilliam) recounts to Monroe of a strange dream he had, and how he has come to accept that his works and the painted world will not last forever and will eventually fade away. The King then passes his silver paintbrush on to Monroe and confirms Monroe is his son before sending him back to the real world. That night, Monroe decides to finish his mother's painting, giving the swan its missing neck and adding a pair of baby swans.

Meeting Ryuji Iwasaki, Yoko Usami, and their Buddyloid partners, Hiromu Sakurada and Cheeda Nick join them in the maiden voyage of the FS-0O, an original Buster Machine, and its Buddyloid Ene-tan. But upon being altered to an Enetron disruption in the Akeisho District, where the Enetron regulation system is located, Hiromu takes control of the FS-0O to finds a group of Bulgers gathering water for the Metaloid Steamloid. The Go-Busters battle the Buglers with the Buddyloids covering the civilians before Steamloid shoots off a steam that corrodes the Buddyloids' bodies. As the Buddyloids are being tended to, learning of their enemy's ability that explained why no Valgass Megazord is being transported, the Go-Busters find that Tokyo Enetower is emitting transport energy. By then, Masato Jin arrives and points the team to an item on the tower that would teleport the surrounding area to subspace for its Enetron Tanks once fully powered. With Masato unable to help as Beet J. Stag falls victim to Steamloid's steam, Ene-tan offers her aid to get the Go-Busters to Tokyo Enetower to defeat the Metaloid before deploying the Buster Machines.

Though Enter states their futility against the legions of Buglers, Blue Buster purposely overheats to take out the Buglers so Red Buster and Yellow Buster can fight their way through with the former battling Steamloid and managing to plug the Metaloid's pipes. But when the Go-Busters' Weak Points take effect, they are nearly killed when the FS-0O comes to their aid to take the Go-Busters to safety. After having their wounds tended to, with Steamloid's mist fading so their Megazords can fight, the Go-Busters learn that Enter is using some of the Enetron amassed in the Tokyo Enetower to bring in the four Megazord archetypes and a fifth mysterious model. With three minutes left, the Go-Busters quickly destroy Steamloid with forty seconds left to get into their Buster Machines before the four Valgass Megazords arrive.

With two minutes left, GT-02 Gorilla knocks the Vaglass Megazords down to climb the tower while Go-Buster Ace uses the RH-03 to take the tower from above. However, Enter counters by piloting Megazord Type Epsilon and sends Go-Buster Ace and the GT-02 into the bay. Luckily, with the SJ-05 aiding them, Go-Buster Ace and the GT-2 combined with the FS-0O into Go-Buster Kero-Oh. Engaging Megazord Epsilon after taking out Megazord Gamma, Go-Buster Kero-Oh breaks up with Go-Buster Ace destroys Megazord Epsilon while the other Busters destroy the Vaglass Megazords as the FS-0O destroys the teleportation device before the time runs out. However, a new problem rises from the FS-0O damaging Tokyo Enetower with the other Buster Machines repairing the tower. As Enter washes ashore while vowing revenge, the Go-Busters and their Buddyloids go sight seeing at Tokyo Enetower.

Anna (Noomi Rapace) and her 8-year-old son Anders (Vetle Qvenild Werring) move into a large flat outside Oslo. Anna is concerned that they will be found by her violent husband after being relocated. The two receive occasional visits from two child care workers, Grete and Ole, who warn Anna that her ex-husband may soon reopen a custody case over Anders. Anders begins attending a nearby school.

Anna first forces Anders to sleep with her in her room, but when this is discouraged by the case workers she looks for a babycall (baby monitor) at an electronics store and meets Helge (Kristoffer Joner), a shy gentleman whose mother is dying in a hospital. The two begin to visit regularly at and near Helge's workplace. Helge tells Anna that his mother is unwell and currently at a hospital, and Anna tells Helge about her son. The two developed a friendly albeit fragile relationship - while Anna is an over-protective mother, Helge was an over-protected son unwilling to acknowledge the negative feelings he has about how his mother treated him as a child. Compelled to feel charitable towards over-protective mothers, Helge is only too eager to ‘understand’ Anna’s refusal to let go of Anders. Similarly, Anna is only too eager to believe that an over-protected son might grow up to understand why his mother would not let him go.

The first night Anders slept in his own room, Anna hears disturbing sounds on the babycall, including screaming. Terrified, Anna runs to Anders' room but finds him asleep. The next day, Anna returns to the electronics store and spoke to Helge, who said that her monitor could pick up other frequencies if they were close enough, meaning that the screams were emanating from someone else within 50 meters. On a map of their apartment complex, drawn by Anders, Anna begins to try to decipher the source of the other frequency.

Anders approaches Anna with a similar looking boy as she waits to pick him up from school. Anders tells Anna that he has made a new friend and is going to take him home with them. Anna is fairly suspicious of the boy who hardly speaks and does not return Anna's gestures to connect with him. After hearing some ruckus Anna finds Anders in the kitchen, upset because he believes Anna ruined his picture, which now has a dead body covered in blood at the base of the apartments drawn on it. Anna denies adding this to the paper and attributes it to Anders' friend.

The next day, while Anders is at school Anna visits the lake near her home. Shortly thereafter Anders asks if Anna will show him the lake, and so she leads him to it, only for the two to arrive at a parking lot despite taking the same route. A few days later Anna follows a woman she believes had something to do with the screaming on the baby monitor. While she's there, Anna sees a man drowning a little boy, who is in fact Anders' friend. After the man and his party leave, Anna jumps into the water to try and retrieve the boy. She stays underwater for too long and blacks out.

Anna wakes up in a hospital, with a nurse telling her she was found looking confused at a parking lot, though her clothes were wet. Anna leaves the hospital and goes to Anders' school to retrieve him but she is told by the principal to leave him because there is a suspcision of child abuse. Anna disregards the principal and brings Anders home.

When the two arrive home Anna discovers that their front door is open. She suspects an intruder has entered the flat and has Anders hide in his room. It is revealed that Ole is there. He tells her that his partner has quit that it is now only up to him if Anna is to keep Anders with the case soon to be reopened. Ole advances on an uncomfortable Anna and tells her he will be back that evening. Anna then goes to the workplace of Helge and invites him for dinner.

While the two eat, there is a knock at the door. Anna asks Helge to answer it for her and she hides. Helge, seeming confused, opens the front door but no one is there. When he turns around he sees Anders' friend, whom he mistakes for Anders, who shows Helge bruises on his body and then runs off to the room of Anders. Helge tries to follow him but is confronted by Anna who yells at him and he leaves. Anna opens the window and calls for Helge to return but he does not. She sees Ole and hurriedly leaves the flat to evade Ole.

The next day Ole is back at Anna's and tells her that her ex-husband is coming right now to retrieve Anders. Anna lets Ole in and shortly hears knocking on the door. Panicked that it is her ex-husband, Anna grabs a pair of scissors, which she stabbed Ole with, killing him just outside her door. Helge, who has just arrived, pounds on the door trying to get Anna to open it. Helge runs into the apartment, to see Anna sitting on the windowsill with Anders' arms wrapped around her. Just as he reaches Anna, she leans forward and falls off the windowsill. Helge rushes down the building, sees Anna on the ground, but no Anders. When Helge asks Anna where Anders is, she isn't able to answer. Later Helge is told that Anna's husband killed Anders years ago, and that her husband had killed himself as well.

Helge finds the drawing of the apartment complex with a grave marked on the forest adjacent to it. He goes into the forest and finds a body wrapped, buried in the earth. It is of the boy imagined to be the friend of Anders, murdered by his abusive parents. Later, Helge sits next to Anna's body and retells the story of a boy and his mother. The ending scene shows a happy Anders and Anna strolling in the forest towards the lake, then sitting down by the water.

Background

It has taken many years and numerous efforts by a multitude of people over the course of his life, but finally J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) has been reduced to practically nothing. He has lost control of the Southfork ranch, which was given to Bobby (Patrick Duffy) by Clayton Farlow (Howard Keel) after he decided to spend more time traveling with Miss Ellie (Barbara Bel Geddes).

J.R.'s business empire has also crumbled. Clayton gave him voting power on the board at WestStar Oil, but through the scheming of Clayton's son Dusty (Jared Martin) and WestStar executive Carter McKay (George Kennedy), J.R. was tricked into selling the controlling stake in Ewing Oil to his archenemy, Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval). After McKay revealed the ruse to J.R., he promptly fired him from WestStar and left him with no form of employment. Additionally, J.R.'s long-time secretary Sly Lovegren (Deborah Rennard) left Ewing Oil to marry, and Bobby's secretary Phyllis Wapner (Deborah Tranelli) refused to help J.R., telling him that "Hell would freeze over" before she worked for him.

Finally, J.R. lost his closest family member as his son and namesake John Ross (Omri Katz) disowned him, deciding to stay in London to be with his mother Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) and her new husband Don Lockwood (Ian McShane). The fallout from these events appeared to be too much for J.R. to bear.

Events

The episode begins with the defeated J.R. walking around the Southfork pool in a drunken stupor with a bottle of bourbon in one hand and a loaded pearl handled six-shooter in the other. J.R. is seriously contemplating whether or not to turn the gun on himself.

A spirit named Adam (portrayed by Joel Grey) pays a visit to J.R., who cannot believe what he is seeing. The white tuxedo-clad Adam tells J.R. his "boss" likes him and has dispatched him to Earth. In a parallel with the storyline of the movie ''It's a Wonderful Life'', Adam proceeds to take J.R. on a journey to show him what life would have been like for other people if he had not been born. Among what he shows him:

• J.R.'s place as eldest Ewing child would have been taken by Gary (Ted Shackelford), who would also take over for J.R. as heir to the Ewing Oil fortune. Bobby thus becomes the middle brother, and the Ewings would have a third son named Jason (Patrick Pankhurst).
• Since Gary was not anywhere near the oil man that his brothers were, Ewing Oil went bankrupt under his watch. As such, Jock (Jim Davis) committed suicide when the company went bust. Heartbroken, Miss Ellie had the coroner record his cause of death as a stress-related illness, and herself died two years later, blaming herself for having forced Jock to hand the company over to Gary, and never meeting Clayton Farlow. The non-existent Jason would have become a shady real estate developer and cheating husband who would eventually trick Bobby and Gary into selling their stakes in Ewing Oil and Southfork, leaving the property in his hands once his parents died. This would result in the destruction of the ranch in favor of "Southfork Estates", a development of tract houses built in its wake. Jason would also become a family pariah, as Gary wants nothing to do with him and Bobby was swindled out of $500,000 in a bad real estate deal of his. Having never met Pam (Victoria Principal) due to there being no rivalry between J.R. and Pam's brother Cliff, and due in part to losing all of his savings in Jason's deal gone wrong, Bobby's wild ways caught up with him and he became a down-and-out hustler owing thousands in gambling debts and child support which he cannot pay. Carter McKay is connected with his gambling debts, as due to his firing at WestStar Oil he went into the casino business in Las Vegas. Bobby later settles his debt, but Adam tells J.R. it will not be the last time he runs into money trouble. Gary spent his life becoming a successful divorce lawyer in Beverly Hills, who never married and thus never had J.R.'s niece Lucy (Charlene Tilton). However, he still meets Valene Clements (Joan Van Ark) - in this universe, Valene Wallace - who is seeking an inheritance from her late husband's estate. They agree to go on a date together, and Adam hints that Gary and Val were always destined to meet. Without having met J.R., Cally Harper (Cathy Podewell) never left her poor roots, and lives with an abusive husband in a shack. She finally takes a stand and shoots him dead, but will eventually go to jail for murder because no one would believe her husband beat her (according to what Adam tells J.R.). Without J.R. in the way and forcing him to be a part of the Ewing-Barnes rivalry, Cliff Barnes became a politician. When J.R. sees that Cliff has become Vice President of the United States, he tells Adam of its impossibility, that Cliff would ruin the country, and that he did not like the fact that Cliff would rise to his position of power. To make matters worse, Cliff becomes Acting President when the sitting President is disabled by a stroke. Adam goes on to tell J.R. that Cliff will become one of the great Presidents, and that it did not matter whether he liked it or not. Since J.R. was never born (and thus never shot), Kristin Shepard (Mary Crosby) never met him (and thus never died), and became a successful con artist in Los Angeles. She poses as a hooker initially and then a police officer, which sees her accept a bribe from an embarrassed customer. Having never met J.R., Sue Ellen has entered acting and become a successful soap opera star. Since Nicholas Pearce (Jack Scalia) never met J.R. (and thus was never shoved out of the window to his death), he was able to form a relationship with Sue Ellen, who did not develop her alcohol problem that plagued her throughout her marriage. *With J.R. out of the picture and Jock dying before he could find out, Ray Krebbs (Steve Kanaly) never knew of his Ewing blood ties. After an injury he suffered in a Ewing Oil-sponsored rodeo, Ray was forced to become a ranch hand and would often find himself out of work. Fortunately for Ray, however, he was able to have a great family life with a wife and children who loved him unconditionally, even if he could not always provide for them. One of his sons is named Jock.

After being taken through this journey, Adam tries to get J.R. to shoot himself. J.R. tells Adam he does not want to give Adam the satisfaction as he went back to Heaven. Adam then asks J.R. what made him think he was dispatched from Heaven and begins laughing demonically, revealing his true purpose.

J.R. is immediately jolted awake in his bedroom while still holding the bourbon bottle and the revolver. He appears relieved that it was only a bad dream, but once again reality sets in for J.R. and the current state of his life.

Once again Adam appears to J.R., this time in the bedroom mirror in a red suit. Adam is determined to have J.R. shoot himself, reminding him how better off everyone concerned would be. J.R. seems willing to oblige.

Meanwhile, Bobby has returned to Southfork for the night. J.R. does not hear him pull up or enter the house, as his focus is solely on Adam in his mirror. He slowly raises the gun to his head and cocks the hammer, and the frustrated Adam finally screams "Do it!" to J.R. with glowing red eyes. Bobby hears a gunshot and runs to the second floor to J.R.'s bedroom to see what has happened. The episode concludes with Bobby standing in the doorway, saying "oh my God" in disbelief; the series thus ends with J.R.'s fate unknown.

Resolution

The "Conundrum" cliffhanger was not resolved until 1996, with the first ''Dallas'' reunion movie, ''Dallas: J.R. Returns''. It was revealed in the beginning of the movie that J.R. had not, in fact, shot himself, but had instead shot at the mirror where Adam was appearing to him. The 2012 revival series did not acknowledge the reunion movie. However, when the revival series began, J.R. was still alive. According to the Dallas Facebook page, J.R. had indeed shot the mirror, but unlike the Reunion film, he didn't flee to Europe to recover.

''Teen Titans Go!'' is an animated series that follows the adventures of the young Titans: Beast Boy, Robin, Cyborg, Raven and Starfire. They reside in Jump City when they are not saving the world while living together as teenagers without adults who disrupt the young Titans. Unlike most of the other superhero series, the situations are comic, crazy and parodic—for example, juvenile jokes that reach new heights of danger, obtaining a license to drive after destroying the Batmobile or washing the suits after staining them when fighting their enemies. The show regularly features characters who have appeared in the original series, albeit with reduced roles and/or exaggerated personalities. It also features greater attachment to the DC Universe at large, with more references to other characters including those in the Justice League, plus a few appearances by Batman and Commissioner Gordon in lighthearted moments.

The show expresses in-jokes regarding the whole of DC's library, many of them in blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments, as well as numerous jokes at the expense of the show itself. The show has also several cameo crossovers with the ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' franchise; specifically the 2012 series, in which Greg Cipes and Scott Menville also participated as voice actors. Particularly the episode "Truth, Justice, and What?" and ''Teen Titans Go! To the Movies'' feature guest appearances by the Turtles.

Zack (Chris Salvatore) and his new boyfriend Benji (Aaron Milo) are setting off to vacation at an all-male resort in Palm Springs, California, with their friend Lily (Harmony Santana). In light of the veritable smorgasbord of available men that are sure to be awaiting their arrival, Benji has proposed that he and Zack open up their relationship, just for the weekend. He is not ready to limit himself sexually and explains that this will be a good way for them to explore together. Zack is less than thrilled with the idea, but he's eager to keep Benji happy and, after all, he likes sex too. At the same time, Zack's ex, Casey (Daniel Skelton), is making his way to the same resort with his hag-in-training, Penny (Lilach Mendelovich). Knowing that Zack will be there with his new boyfriend, Casey immediately goes into panic mode, recruiting his new friend, Peter (Michael Vara), to be his pretend boyfriend for the weekend, proving to Zack that he has had no trouble moving on from their relationship. However, it is not long before all plans go awry, and Benji starts making eyes at Peter, while Zack realizes he might not be as over Casey as he'd thought. With the gay boys otherwise engaged, Lily and Penny are soon locked in combat for the attention of Luis, the resort's sexy bartender, who also happens to be the sole straight man in sight.

The show centers on Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance), the chief surgical resident at Hope Zion Hospital, who is involved in a car accident with her fiance, Dr Charles Harris (Michael Shanks). Minutes later, Charlie falls into a coma. In this episode, Alex deals with a child, Cal, who has a disease. He goes into a coma, and meets Charlie. Charlie asks him to send a message to Alex for him, when Cal wakes up. Despite this, the boy forgets Charlie's name. Charlie's ex-wife suggests in-coma arousal therapy. Meanwhile, surgeons Joel Goran (Daniel Gillies) and Maggie Lin (Julia Taylor Ross) deal with a lady who will die without surgery. Due to their religion, her husband refuses treatment.

Lieutenant Barney Nolan, a 16-year veteran of the police force, has had it with the world. He may have been a good detective once, but has become corrupt and vicious. In a secluded alley late one night he fatally shoots a bookmaker in the back and steals his $25,000. Barney then claims he had been forced to kill the man because he tried to escape custody. Sergeant Mark Brewster, his friend and protégé, believes him, as does the Captain of Detectives, Captain Gunnarson. However, newspaper reporter Cabot suspects otherwise, as there have been rumors about Barney's illicit activities for a while.

Barney takes his girlfriend, Patty Winters, to see a new house that is for sale, in which he suggests the two of them could have a happy life. He slips away to hide the money outside, behind the home. When he returns the two have a romantic moment; it is insinuated he asked Patty to marry him and, through a later conversation with Mark, it is clear that she said yes.

Packy Reed, the dead man's boss, sends private investigators Fat Michaels and Laddie O'Neil to tell Barney he wants to see him. After Barney leaves for the meeting, the two men accost Patty. Packy gives Barney one chance to return the money, but Barney is uncooperative.

Deaf-mute Ernst Sternmuller witnessed the bookmaker's murder. He goes to the police station with a note explaining what he saw, but gives it to Barney, whom he does not recognize as the killer. Barney later goes to the man's apartment to try to buy his silence. Sternmuller recognizes Barney's clothing and realizes he is the killer. He refuses to take money to keep quiet. Barney furiously pushes the old man, who falls, strikes his head, and dies. Barney stages things to make it seem like an accident. He is unaware that Sternmuller had been writing a full account of the murder. Mark, investigating the death, finds this narrative.

Meanwhile, Barney drinks and fends off a flirtatious blonde Beth in the bar. He repeatedly attempts to reach Patty on the phone and, when he finally does, she reveals that Michaels and O'Neil had approached her menacingly. Enraged, he telephones the two men to arrange a meeting, ostensibly to turn over the money he stole. When they arrive he pistol whips them both into unconsciousness, while everyone else in the bar reacts hysterically.

Barney goes home, where he discovers Mark is waiting to arrest him. The two men struggle and Barney gets the upper hand. He knocks Mark out, after momentarily considering shooting him in the back of the head. He goes to Patty and persuades her to pack up to start her new life with him. He tells her Packy is trying to frame him, and for a while she believes him. But when he mistakenly mentions money he has, Patty realizes what Mark has suggested to her about Barney is true. They argue and he slaps her and leaves.

Mark, having regained consciousness, takes the notepad with Sturnmuller's account to his boss, Gunnarson, who initiates a manhunt. Barney overhears this on his police car radio. He retrieves his old patrolman's uniform and goes into hiding.

''Soonchild'' tells the story of a shaman known as Sixteen-Face John, who lives in a cold, snowy region referred to as "The North," and who fears he's losing his way in the modern world. He increasingly spends his time "drinking Coca-Cola and watching TV with his feet up and reading magazines with centrefolds in them." John's wife is expecting a baby whom they plan to name Soonchild, but a crisis occurs when Soonchild refuses to leave the womb because she can't hear the "World Songs" – a special kind of music that is necessary for the world to exist, and which all children must hear before they can be born.

To coax his daughter out into the world, John is forced to embark on a shamanic quest to find out why the World Songs have disappeared and bring them home so Soonchild can hear them. In the course of this journey he travels into the spirit world and the realm of the dead, where he must face down demons and enlist the aid of a variety of animal spirits and other mysterious characters – including Nanuk the giant polar bear, Old Man Raven, Ukpika the owl-woman, Yarluk the killer whale, Timertik the walrus, and the spirit of his great-grandmother who was a shaman herself.

Several fashion models are killed by a murderer who poisons a cat's claws with curare. Each victim is given a shawl as a gift, which is laced with a chemical attracting the cat. The first such victim, Paola, had been in a relationship with a blind composer, Peter Oliver (Anthony Steffen) who overhears a conversation he believes may help him track down the killer. Oliver, aided by his butler Burton (Umberto Raho) tracks the cat to its owner Susan (Jeannette Len), who is murdered before she can reveal who has been using the cat. However, the identity of the killer is eventually discovered to be Françoise (Sylva Koscina), the owner of the studio employing the murdered models.

Fashion model Valentina (Susan Scott) agrees to help her journalist boyfriend Giò Baldi (Simón Andreu) research the effects of LSD. While under the influence of the drug, Valentina sees a man bludgeon a woman to death with a spiked gauntlet.

She begins to realise that the killer is stalking her, although neither Baldi nor the police will believe what she tells them.

The book opens with Simon returning home, where he finds out that there are a lot of symbols that form a barrier so he can't enter the house. He speaks to his mother, only to feel more rejected when she accuses him of killing the "real" Simon. Things become more tense when he learns from Clary that Jace is currently missing and untraceable. Clary and the rest of the group manages to gain the assistance of the Seelie Queen, but in return they have to obtain and hand over two Faerie rings that would allow the wearers to communicate telepathically. Desperate, Clary agrees to the terms and while searching for the rings in a Shadowhunter library, accidentally observes Jace enter the library and speak in friendly terms with Sebastian (Who is actually "Jonathan Morgenstern", Valentine's half-demon blooded son) - which confuses Clary, who had been hiding during the conversation.

That night Clary wakes to find Jace lying in bed with her, asking her to come with him. Shortly after this, Sebastian enters the room- something that is discovered by Jocelyn, who screams and alerts others to their presence. After stabbing Luke in the back the two leave, but promise to return for Clary. She eventually decides to join the two men as a spy while using the Faerie rings to communicate with Simon. During this time Clary realizes that Jace has been possessed by Sebastian, as he acts more like Sebastian than himself. Jace manages to temporarily shake off the possession and explain that Sebastian is planning to use Lilith's blood to create an army of dark Shadowhunters using the second Mortal Cup and will turn himself into the Clave, as he'd rather die than continue to be possessed. He was only able to regain control due to the rune controlling him having received damage, which would also cause him to eventually die. Not wanting Jace's death, Clary calls Sebastian in and asks him to heal the rune, putting Jace back under Sebastian's control. Meanwhile, Simon and the others summon Raziel, who gives Simon a blade of Heaven named Glorious but at the cost of Simon's Mark of Cain.

Clary is later shown to be searching Sebastian's room, where she discovers her Faerie ring. She manages to alert Simon of most of Sebastian's plan and tells him to come to the Seventh Sacred Site, but is caught midway through by Sebastian and is forced to destroy the Faerie ring. The two then fight and Sebastian unsuccessfully tries to rape Clary, who manages to escape. She ends up going to the Seventh Site, where Simon gives Clary Raziel's sword, which she uses to hunt Sebastian. Unable to reach Sebastian, Clary uses the Angel blade and stabs Jace, believing that it won't kill him as his heart is more good than evil. Jace is set alight, leading the others to believe that he is dead.

Sebastian flees the battle, most of his dark Shadowhunters dead. Jace is discovered to be alive and is taken back to the Institute for healing. When she's finally allowed to visit Jace, she learns that stabbing him with Glorious has filled him with "Heavenly fire", which will burn anything he touches whenever he gets an adrenaline rush.

Somewhere in southern climes: The Catholic sister Maria is completely absorbed in her work for the glory of God. She is currently taking care of the souls of a number of "sinners" (as the Italian film title euphemistically suggests), all convicts who are quite tough and hard-nosed, but who are regularly bullied and beaten, humiliated and sexually abused by their guards. Desperate to improve the living conditions of the girls, Maria appeals to the prison warden to allow seven of these women to work during the day under the supervision of guards (and God's) in the nearby convent. But these "seven sinners" are a sly old dog. They are anything but tame innocent lambs, and promptly manage to overpower and eliminate their guard on the first day. The other residents of the convent are forced by force of arms to get rid of their religious habit, since the female prisoners want to put it on so that they can flee quite inconspicuously as servants of God. To prevent the worst, Sister Maria joins the criminals armed with machine guns.

The escapees first try to find accommodation with an acquaintance. But this is a trap, as they fell straight into the arms of cold-smiling trafficker Bob Shaw. Shaw and his old pal Jeff have done quite a few things, but Jeff makes it perfectly clear that he doesn't get involved in trafficking in girls. And so Jeff refuses his ship to transport the girls further. The unscrupulous Bob plans to sell the women, including the nun Maria, to a sheikh named El Kadir. There is an exchange of gunfire when the police suddenly arrive at the port. The female “goods” are then loaded onto a truck. Jeff soon proves to be the savior of vulnerable women. Together, the small group tries to leave the country over the mountains under the glowing sun. But El Kadir is far from giving up, he doesn't want to just let his pretty "goods" get away. The nefarious Arab intends to bring them to his soldiers in the desert for their private pleasure. As they flee, the women are attacked and raped by other Muslim infidels who show no respect for Christian women. Black Nadja's back is whipped bloody by a sadistic dwarf.

Sister Maria is more than desperate, she is now even prepared to take up arms to save her charges. At one point, the nun finds herself in the greatest danger to her life when crazy, veiled Arab women almost stone her to death. A few more dangers follow, and when they think they are almost safe, they promptly run into El Kadir and his enlisted soldiers. Jeff is temporarily sidelined, leaving the women and the nun to finally surrender to the filthy, drooling Kadir people. Then comes the final showdown between the soldiers and the completely uninhibited, bestial Arabs, which ends extremely bloody. Now the believing nun also goes wild and helps to decimate the various opponents with the machine gun.

Stacey now has to find the identity of the murderer before he/she can kill again. Frank was sleeping with and/or blackmailing nearly all members of the family, so everyone is a suspect.Coffman (2012), p. 23-26

Prison life on Devil's Island is no picnic so fellow prisoners Le Bras (Jim Brown) and Davert (Christopher George) escape. Along their escape route, they encounter submissive native women and a colony of lepers.

In mid 15th-century Japan, flood, drought and famine transformed the landscape of Kyoto into a barren wasteland. More than 80,000 people perished between 1459 and 1461. This desolate state serves as the backdrop to the beginning of the country's greatest civil war. In this era, a boy is born to a starving and impoverished woman who abandons him. Eight years later, the boy has become a cannibalistic beast and wanders the countryside surviving in the wild with an axe. He attacks a Buddhist monk, but the monk easily defends himself. The monk provides temporary food and shelter, and names the boy Asura. He teaches Asura a Buddhist chant hoping one day he would understand it. After a while, he leaves the boy on the side of the road and continues his travels.

Meanwhile, a man named Shichiro with four boys carry a huge log to their village. Asura attacks the group but is repelled by Shichiro. He follows them as they attempt to pass through a village where they are stopped by a group of boys demanding payment. The village boys throw rocks at them and when Asura is also hit, he angrily attacks and kills the leader. Later, the dead boy's father, Jito, chases Asura who falls off a cliff onto a pile of corpses. Asura is taken in by Wakasa, a girl from the village who gives him shelter and food in an abandoned hut. She returns regularly to bring him food and teach him how to speak. He becomes extremely attached to her, often secretly following her into the village.

One rainy night, as Asura waits for Wakasa outside, he sees her meet Shichiro and together they discuss leaving the village. In a fit of jealousy and rage, Asura attacks Shichiro with his axe. Horrified by Asura's actions, Wakasa demands that he leave. Once again the boy is forced to wander alone. Shortly after his departure, the village is destroyed by a huge mudslide. The monk witnesses the death and destruction in the village and again stumbles upon Asura. However, this time, Asura speaks in the human tongue he learned from Wakasa, cursing himself and wishing he wasn't born. The monk chops off his own arm, provoking Asura to eat it. However Asura does not understand the monk's intentions and runs away instead.

Meanwhile, food has become even more scarce and Wakasa's father is encouraged to sell her by other villagers, but he refuses. Shichiro provides whatever food he can scrounge for Wakasa. In desperation, he resorts to stealing from other houses while Wakasa and her father lay dying in their home. On seeing Wakasa's condition, Asura kills one of Jito's horses and offers the horse flesh to her and her father, but she refuses to take it, believing it to be human flesh. Jito offers a bounty to capture Asura, and along with the villagers give chase with torches. Alone and afraid, Asura kills Jito and is then chased onto a rope bridge by the villagers. They set fire to the bridge, sending Asura into the river far below.

Winter arrives, covering everything in a blanket of snow. Shichiro and some village boys transport Wakasa's body on a cart, unknowingly passing Asura who somehow survived the fall. Some time later, the voice of the monk is heard talking about the beauty of life as a shaven headed Asura carves a wooden statue of Buddha. In a post-credit scene, the land is seen rich and fertile again with white doves flying above a city.

George Dumurrier is a wealthy doctor who runs a clinic with his younger brother Henry, but leaves care of his asthma-stricken wife Susan to her sister Marta and a local nurse. He is engaged in an affair with Jane, the personal assistant to Larry, a trendy photographer. Although very much in love with George, Jane is fatalistic about the future of their relationship.

George and Jane travel out of town for a romantic break in Reno. But after arriving at the casino, George receives a phone call from Henry, telling him that Susan has died during a violent asthma attack. Returning home to his plush San Francisco home, George is consoled by Henry, but frozen out by the hostile Marta, who has always disapproved of George marrying her sister. However, a $1 million insurance policy left by Susan is a timely bonus for George's recklessly extended business enterprise. An insurance agent begins tailing George, discovers his affair with Jane, and brings his suspicions to the local police detective, Inspector Wald.

Meanwhile, an anonymous tip-off leads George and Jane to The Roaring Twenties, a strip club where they are both astonished at the appearance of Monica, a stripper who, although a luxuriant blonde, bears an uncanny resemblance to Susan. George is morbidly attracted to her and soon embarks on an affair that is part-detection, part-willing seduction. When the police, who have been tailing him, arrest Monica, she tells them that she was paid to pose as Susan by a woman calling herself Betty. Monica, as the police discover, is a popular fixture lately among the city's high class prostitutes. She has a devoted wealthy client, named Benjamin Wormser, whose hopeless passion she toys with. When Benjamin hears about Monica's arrest, he arrives at the police station with her exorbitant bail, but soon discover that she has already been sprung by someone the police will not name.

A police search led by Inspector Wald of Monica's apartment turns up an envelope containing money. When George's fingerprints are found on the envelope, the police arrest him and charge him with murdering his wife for the life insurance policy. Monica goes missing, and George is tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Some months later, on the eve of George's execution, his brother Henry arrives for a visit where in the privacy of an interrogation room, the gloating Henry reveals all that has happened: he and Susan have hatched up this entire plot to get him out of the way and get the insurance money all for themselves. Monica is really Susan all along and faked her own death to implicate him. After Henry leaves, George tries to get a stay of execution by informing his lawyer about what Henry said. But despite some last-minute investigation by Inspector Wald, George is unable to clear his name. Only Jane continues to believe his innocence, but she is held in check by Larry.

The day arrives as George is taken out of his cell to the gas chamber to be executed, still protesting his innocence. At the last moment, a phone rings where the state governor orders the execution halted as a telex arrives at the local FBI office that is forwarded to the prison authorities. In a twist of fate, the French police in Paris have informed the US authorities that Susan and Henry have been shot dead in a local café by the spurned and jealous Benjamin Wormser.

In Vienna, a homicidal maniac is killing women with a straight razor. Julie Wardh and her diplomat husband, Neil, return to the city after time spent in New York City. Julie married Neil to escape her abusive former lover, Jean, who lives in Vienna. Jean begins stalking Julie, and she grows increasingly anxious. Meanwhile, a series of violent murders of women are occurring in Vienna.

At a high society party, Julie's friend Carol introduces her cousin George. George and Carol's wealthy uncle has just died, and they are his only heirs. George flirts with Julie, who is unhappy in her marriage to the neglectful Neil. After a lunch date, George and Julie begin an affair. Julie receives a call from a blackmailer who threatens to tell Neil about the affair. Julie suspects Jean is the blackmailer, and Carol insists on meeting the blackmailer in Julie's place. Carol goes to meet the unknown individual in a forested park, where she is attacked and slashed to death by someone wielding a straight razor.

When Julie learns about Carol's murder, she urges the police to investigate Jean, whom she suspects is the razor killer given his sadomasochistic tendencies. Jean has an airtight alibi. Julie is then attacked in the parking garage by a figure with a straight razor, and barely escapes with her life. Terrified, Julie accepts George's invitation to leave the city (and her husband) for Spain.

Back in Vienna, the razor killer dies at the hands of an intended victim. Julie is ecstatic when she reads that the killer is dead and that he was a stranger to her. However, someone continues to stalk Julie in Spain, causing her to have a nervous breakdown. When George goes to get a doctor, Julie is ambushed and knocked out by Jean. Jean stages the scene to look like Julie committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning. When George returns with the doctor, she is almost dead.

At the police station later, George learns that Julie has in fact died, and they consider her death a suicide. George drives to a remote location where he meets Jean. George hired Jean to murder Julie and stage it as a suicide. Jean demands his money, but instead George shoots him and arranges the scene as a suicide.

George then meets with Neil, Julie's husband. As they drive, their conversation reveals that they have conspired to murder Carol and Julie and stage it as the work of the razor killer. Carol's death makes George the sole inheritor of his uncle's fortune, while Julie's death means a huge insurance payment for Neil. To avoid police suspicion given these clear motives, Neil killed Carol (while George had a perfect alibi), and George tried to kill Julie in the parking garage (while Neil had a perfect alibi). After the razor killer died, it no longer made sense for George to kill Julie with a razor, so he instead hired Jean to stage Julie's murder as suicide while both George and Neil had alibis.

The police appear, and George and Neil, trying to evade them, drive off a cliff to their deaths. It is revealed that Julie is not dead, but was saved by the doctor. The police faked her death to trick George and Neil into meeting; they were suspicious after Carol's autopsy revealed that her murder, though committed with a razor, did not fit the razor killer's modus operandi. Julie is consoled by the handsome young doctor as they drive away.

Gnorm is just an average gnome (a tunneler) who lives underground, but he wants to impress a lady gnome by doing something heroic. So he takes the lumen, a stone that must be brought to the surface (called Upworld by the gnomes) to be exposed to the sun to recharge it. When he gets to the surface, he witnesses a murder and the killer ends up with the lumen. Detective Casey (Hall), who was working a sting operation with the murdered man, is blamed for botching the sting, and the man's death. Wanting to catch the killer to clear his name, he teams up with Gnorm, whom he accidentally discovers. He is going to need his partner Samantha's (Christian) help, but she thinks he is a nut. See, no one else knows about Gnorm.

The film consists of several interviews with men and women from the private and professional environment of the German film director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Rosa von Praunheim gets to the bottom of her relationship with the director, who is said to have been a difficult and eccentric man who did not spare his actors and often treated them badly. Fassbinder's companions usually have an ambivalent relationship with him, since they admired him on the other hand and often had him to thank for their success.

A man wakes up in a large pit full of dead bodies and does not remember how he got there. A mute woman helps him escape, and he follows her to a house with four other occupants—a German man and three Americans. Like him, the others do not remember who they are; only the mute woman, who does not understand English, seems to know about them, although they slowly begin to remember certain attributes, such as an ability with guns or certain languages.

They find ID cards for four of them: the German is Lukas, and the three Americans are Sharon, Nathan and Michael. No ID is found for the man, who is given the name John Doe, or the mute woman. A nearby calendar hints that something is going to happen on the 18th — two days hence — but there are no notes to indicate what. Exploring the immediate surroundings of the house, they discover corpses chained to trees.

John, Sharon, Nathan and Lukas continue to explore the next morning. They find two cars and a picture of the five of them without John. Lukas takes this as a sign that John is not a real member of their group, though John suggests he took the picture himself. Later, John and Sharon stumble across a child hiding in a locked shelter. The child tells John his real name — Jonah — but is clearly terrified of him.

Meanwhile, Michael hears screams in the distance and follows them until he finds a badly injured man trapped in barbed wire. When Michael tries to help, the man kills him. Jonah kills the murderer as the mute woman tearfully says goodbye to Michael, who she had a relationship with.

Jonah suffers numerous violent flashbacks. He and Sharon are chased by people with axes but are saved when their car drives past two corpses hanging from the trees — a point past which their pursuers won't go. Nathan finds a woman and her child chained in a cabin and narrowly escapes when they and a group of people in a zombie-like state attack him.

An increasingly ill Lukas stumbles across a video camera that contains clips of Jonah conducting medical experiments on him and others. In the clips, Jonah explains that the vaccine prevents the spread of an infection but causes symptoms such as temporary amnesia and a death-like state. Lukas knocks Jonah out and throws him back in the body pit, then attacks the mute woman and Sharon, who drives him off with a shotgun. The mute woman helps Jonah escape again, and while trying to drive as far away as he can, Jonah encounters the child from earlier and three others who are trying to escape. They abandon their car for another. They are adamant that his name is Jonah and he is a dangerous man, before driving away. Jonah explores the abandoned car, discovering a medical kit, documents addressed to him, and a photo of him and Sharon confirming they knew each other previously.

Jonah remembers that he is Dr Jonah Cooke and that he was trying to cure a plague that turns people into despondent, violent ghouls. Sharon, Lukas and the others were his medical team. The medical kit from the abandoned car contains vaccines that Cooke had tried to send to a military base but never arrived. A few days earlier, Jonah had been attacked by an infected person while throwing a corpse into the pit. Now infected himself, Jonah administered the vaccine, fell into the deathlike state before awaking. The others also took the vaccine as a precaution.

Lukas, still infected, attacks Jonah but dies before Jonah can administer a dose of the vaccine from the medical kit. At dawn, as Jonah races on foot back to the house, Nathan and Sharon fully regain their memories. A large group of infected people attack, and in desperation Sharon writes a letter to Jonah that explains what has happened and what the solution is. She reveals that the mute woman is the key to survival, as she is immune to the virus that has wiped out most of the world's population.

When helicopters arrive and kill the infected surrounding the house, Nathan remembers that a military rescue team was due to come on the 18th. Nathan goes outside to greet the rescuers, but is killed as Sharon, the mute woman and Jonah watch helplessly. The rescue team is now a search-and-destroy mission. Sharon and Jonah flee, but she is mortally wounded by an infected woman. Before dying, she gives Jonah the letter but he doesn't read it.

Realizing his best chance for survival is for the soldiers to think he is dead, Jonah takes the vaccine and goes back into the pit. When he revives, the mute woman again helps him from the pit. Not remembering the letter is from Sharon or important, Jonah leaves it behind as he and the mute woman leave together.

Part one

Bartender Sam Malone (Ted Danson) has been jealous of his brother Derek, who is more successful, better-educated, multi-talented and handsome, for years, and discovers that he is arriving in Boston on his private jet. Meanwhile, co-bartender Coach (Nicholas Colasanto) is offered a coaching job in Venezuela requiring fluency in Spanish. Derek (an unseen character voiced by George Ball) arrives unexpectedly at the bar and entertains the patrons with his talents, which include singing, playing a pool table, tap dancing and telling stories. Derek offers a job to regular patron Norm (George Wendt), teaches Coach Spanish (increasing his chances of being hired) and impresses waitress Diane (Shelley Long) with their common interests. Diane and Derek pair off (which bothers Sam). During his date with Debbie (Deborah Shelton), Sam hears Derek's private jet, where he carries Diane along.

Part two

A week later, Norm is fired from his own job (where the corporation has committed tax fraud) for "[taking] a long lunch". (Norm dubs himself the only "honest man" in the corporation, which he considers the reason for his termination.) Coach hears on the phone that he did not get the coaching job (which was already given to someone else), putting his efforts to learn Spanish to waste. Sam forgets another fiancée Cindy's (Peggy Kubena) name. Diane arrives at the bar after her trip with Derek, confessing to Coach that she is torn between her ideal mate Derek (who is committed to her) and her "bubblegum" Sam. Coach insists that Sam cannot express his feelings for her well. When Diane tells Sam she and Derek will be leaving immediately on another trip, Sam fires her.

After saying goodbye to everyone in the bar, Diane returns to the office and accidentally hits Sam's nose when she opens the door. Because of that, she is convinced that Sam was coming out of the office to say something to her. They argue, admit their feelings for each other, and come into the terms that their relationship with Derek is nothing compared to their potential relationship together. Sam and Diane embrace, but then Diane rejects his advances, i.e. attempts to kiss her. They insult each other and, at the end, kiss passionately.

Angelo is a former street fighter who can't deny his troubled past. Yet he has learned to channel his aggressions by striving for success in Muai Thai. But during a tournament, the officials do him wrong. After an unjustified disqualification, he cannot hide his contempt for his opponent. Although this seals the premature end of his career, the worst is still about to come, because he has made an enemy. The aforementioned opponent believes he ought to teach Angelo a lesson. He and his friends confront Angelo outside the tournament.

When three enemies attempt together to waste Angelo in a derelict, dark alley, his instincts kick in. Driven by wrath, he applies his acquired fighting skills without restraint. Thus he causes the death of one of these men. Since he seems to have fought them off with considerable ease, a court judges that this wasn't self-defense but manslaughter. Angelo is sentenced to prison.

After he has done his time, Angelo is a broken man. Nothing matters to him anymore and his alcoholism makes it worse big time. Even so, a good-hearted woman recognises a spark of decency in the debauched loser. Angelo perceives this after all and is encouraged to start over once again. But he cannot get any other job than to engage in illegal fights where gangsters bet on him. This time there is little chance of overdoing anything, because, in order to barely survive these fights, he needs everything he has got.

A beautiful French stripper named Nicole Rochard (Susan Scott) learns that her father was stabbed to death on a train, and she is questioned by the police about some missing diamonds. It transpires that Nicole’s father, Ernest Rochard, was a famed thief although he had since "gone straight". Shortly after this Nicole begins receiving threatening phone calls from a mysterious character who uses a voice changer. Later while performing at nightclubs Nicole is watched and filmed by a distinguished looking gentleman (Frank Wolff), who meets her in person in her dressing room after sending her flowers. The man with the voice changer calls a second time and a frightened Nicole returns to her apartment. The man appears in person wearing a black ski-mask with piercing blue eyes and threatens the woman with a razor and demands to know where the diamonds are. Following these events, Nicole goes to the apartment of her boyfriend Michel (Simon Andreu) where she spends the night.

In the morning, Nicole discovers Michel has a pair of blue contact lenses and flees in a panic believing him to be the masked man. She meets up with the handsome stranger from before who is Dr. Robert Matthews, a British eye-surgeon. Nicole begs Matthews to take her away from Paris. The two fly to London where Nicole goes on a shopping spree and is taken by Matthews to his countryside getaway in a remote part of the country. The locals are shown to be quite unfriendly and conservative and the wily Dr. Matthews attempts to pass off his new lover as his wife. He explains that all his money comes from his real wife Vanessa. Despite her feelings for Matthews, Nicole quickly becomes unnerved by the new location including Dr. Matthews handyman, a sinister local named Hallory (Luciano Rossi), who has a false hand. Its revealed someone is spying on Dr. Matthews house from nearby and specifically targeting Nicole. Dr. Matthews has to leave for work but upon his return he takes Nicole to a nearby tavern where they meet Captain Lenny (George Riguad) about a new boat. Nicole overhears the local clergyman talking on the phone with a voice changer and is frightened and demands to be taken home. Matthews drops Nicole off but tells her he has to leave again for London. That night the person with the telescope continues to spy on Nicole and a woman in black is seen entering the house and offering large amounts of money to Nicole.

The next day Matthews returns but finds Nicole missing. Hallory claims to have never seen Nicole leave and Captain Lenny tells Dr. Matthews the whole village believes Nicole ran away with another man. Dr. Matthews travels to London to perform an eye surgery on an elderly man named Smith who is blind. Following the operation, a mysterious woman appears in the dark and shoots Matthews in his shoulder, wounding him nonfatally. The police immediately launch an investigation and the hardnosed Inspector Baxter focuses on the small details including the drugged Dr. Matthews asking for "Nicole" post-surgery even though his wife is named Vanessa. Both Vanessa and Smith deny knowing anyone named Nicole. Upon the police traveling to the fishing village, its shown that Nicole's body has been fished out of the water by local fisherman Phillips. A drunken Michel appears and is questioned by the suspicious police who think he had something to do with his girlfriends death. Inspector Baxter takes Michel's passport but lets him go. Michel sees Captain Lenny hanging around nearby and questions him about what happened. In London, Baxter questions Dr. Matthews who firmly denies it was Nicole who shot at him. Michel shows up at Vanessa Matthews house and threatens her with violence unless she tells him why she was seen in the village the night Nicole died.

Baxter hauls Michel in for questioning and he admits that Captain Lenny told him he saw a mysterious woman in the village. The Inspector takes Michel and Vanessa to sit-down with Captain Lenny who is unsure if Vanessa was the woman after all. Following this they go to Dr. Matthews cottage where the gate is easily opened by Vanessa, revealing she has been there before. Forced to confess. Mrs. Matthews tells Baxter that she paid off Nicole to leave Dr. Matthews and return to Paris. Later that night after Matthews has gone to bed, the same masked man who threatened Nicole shows up and sneaks into the house and brutally murders Vanessa. The police show up and are forced to sedate the distraught Dr. Matthews. Inspector Baxter visits the coroner’s office and after realizing that bodies kept on ice can alter the time of death becomes convinced that bricks of ice were used on Nicole’s body. This theory is confirmed by a visit to the other side of the cottage where a rope and anchor with room for a body and ice bricks is found in the water. Inspector Baxter and Bergson are leaving when they hear a shot from nearby. It came from the home of Captain Lenny, who had pulled a gun on Michel. The police arrive while Michel escapes using the Inspector’s car. Baxter questions Captain Lenny after seeing large amounts of money, it transpires that the captain was the one spying nightly on Nicole. He admits he saw a man but due to the rain he could not see his face. The money given to Nicole by Vanessa was stolen by the greedy Captain. Baxter arrests Captain Lenny and returns to London.

Michel soon phones the police and tells them to focus on the blind man Smith. Smith is hauled in for questioning and it all comes out that he was blinded in the diamond heist when Ernest Rochard accidentally turned the blowtorch towards his face. Smith reveals the final piece of information needed to solve the mystery: He and Rochard both agreed Nicole would keep the diamonds. Baxter, Bergson, Dr. Matthews, and Smith travel back to the cottage where a fight has broken out between the transvestite Hallory, dressed in the clothes of Nicole, and a furious Michel. Just as Hallory is about to kill Michel, the others arrive. Bergson discovers the blue contact lenses on Michel, seemingly confirming that he was the mysterious masked villain. Michel attempts to escape but gets knocked out with a judo chop from Inspector Baxter. Smith discovers the diamonds where they were hidden.

The case is seemingly closed as the men go to leave when the fisherman Phillips appears and mentions that he gave a bunch of ice to Dr. Matthews. Realizing the truth, the police confront Dr. Matthews. It turns out that Matthews and Rochard were partners and that Robert planned the heist and then double-crossed Rochard for the diamonds. Vanessa had told this to Nicole when she had visited her at the cottage, thus leading to Dr. Matthews having to eliminate both Nicole and his wife (who was the one who shot at him). It also is revealed that the blue contact lenses were planted in Michel’s apartment by Dr. Matthews as part of a frame-up. The movie ends with Inspector Baxter and Bergson seeing Michel off at the airport.

A young boy, named Christopher, emerges from a rural lake, fully clothed, and walks to a road where he is picked up by a shuttle bus and taken with other young boys to a local church where they are part of the boys choir. During the church service, the preacher, known only as the Redeemer, arrives and gives a hate-filled sermon about the sins of the world and of six people who have lived their life of sin, each of them 1967 graduates of the now-shuttered Stuart Morse Academy.

The six individuals receive invitations to 10-year high school reunion: John Sinclair, an unscrupulous and corrupt lawyer; Cindy, a freewheeling party girl; Terry, a glutton and slacker; Jane, a wealthy and shallow heiress; Roger, a vain film actor; and Kirsten, a closeted, self-loathing lesbian.

At the school, a mysterious man arrives claiming to be a property inspector and is let into the building by the janitor. The man then shoots the janitor to death in the swimming pool area and, after hiding the body, makes a plaster mold of the janitor's face to make a latex mask for himself.

John, Cindy, Terry, Jane, Roger and Kirsten arrive at the school where the man, in disguise as the janitor, lets them into the building where they find a decorated ballroom complete with food and drinks, but no one else present. As everyone settle down to eat and talk, they discuss how they are the only six to arrive and why they received the same strange invite despite that most of them barely knew each other in school. While exploring the building, they find the dead body of the janitor and when they try to leave, the find themselves locked in the building with the killer who proceeds to harass, stalk and kill them one by one.

Terry is the first to die when he is set on fire and burns to death by blowtorch set up to a tripwire in the school office. Jane is next when she manages to get out of the building and encounters a hunter outside who promises to help, only the hunter is the killer in disguise who shoots her with his shotgun and returns her body to the school. While searching for a way out, the four remaining people encounter the killer, now disguised as a magician, wearing a tuxedo with a flowing black cape, in the school auditorium who kills Roger by another contraption involving a suspended dagger to fall on his head. While trying to find a way out in the locker room, Cindy is attacked by the killer, now wearing clown mask costume, who drowns her in a sink filled with water.

In the school office, John encounters the unmasked killer, who reveals himself to have lured the group to the school to kill them for their life of sin that they built for themselves and explains that knows all about John and his career as a criminal lawyer who gets criminals off on legal technicalities. The killer claims to be a "redeemer" who has been chosen to rid the world of the wicked by being to kill a select few. John and the Redeemer struggle over a gun, where in the struggle the Redeemer gets shot in his side, but manages to best John and shoots him in the head, killing him. The wounded killer then chases Kirsten through the school and back to the auditorium where she knocks the gun away from the Redeemer, and attempts to shoot him again, but the Redeemer takes command of a clown dummy who raises a knife to bring it down on Kirsten, killing her.

The ending comes full circle as the Redeemer, revealed to be the priest in the opening scene, returns to his church where he concludes the sermon he started at the beginning of the film who claims that "those who have sinned" have been given "redemption" for their own afterlife. After the service ends, the Redeemer meets with the young boy, Christopher, who has revealed to have killed a bully who earlier threatened him and placed the dead body in the car of a con artist Bible salesman who visited the church. Christopher tells the Redeemer that everything will be all right now, and that he is pleased with the Redeemer's work. The Redeemer then goes back to his apartment where he tends to his bullet wound to his abdomen that he received earlier, and also reveals that he has two thumbs on his left hand, one of which then fades away. The Redeemer quotes to himself that God is pleased with what he has done and he will be waiting for any future work. In the final scene, Christopher takes the church shuttle bus back to the lake from the opening scene and walks (fully clothed) into the lake to return from where he came.

The film closes with the text: "From out of the darkness the hand of the Redeemer shall appear to punish those who have lived in sin... and return to the watery depths of Hell".

Adele August leaves her second husband, Ted, and taking her 11-year-old daughter Ann, drives in Ted's Lincoln Continental from their small Wisconsin hometown to Los Angeles with ambitions of making Ann a child star and finding herself a rich husband. Ann, the child of Adele's first marriage to an Egyptian man who deserted the family, is separated from her beloved grandmother Lillian who remained in Wisconsin, and must now cope on her own with her mother's moods, whims, fantasies, and occasional neglect and abuse. Narcissistic Adele is chronically dissatisfied with her life, lives above her means, overspends on clothing and status goods, and treats Ann as an extension of herself, rather than as a person in her own right. Ann is torn between feelings of love, longing and responsibility for her mother on one hand, and anger and rebellion on the other.

In Los Angeles, Adele finds work as a teacher and, despite her low income and irresponsible spending habits, manages to move herself and Ann into Beverly Hills so that Ann can attend the local schools with the children of rich families and movie stars. The two engage in various schemes to stay in Beverly Hills and fit in, including skipping out on rent and stealing fashionable clothing. Over time, Ann befriends several of her rich classmates, while Adele, increasingly out of her element, exploits Ann's school connections to benefit herself. Back in Wisconsin, Ann's grandmother Lillian and her cousin Benny both die, severing Ann's last links with her old life.

After a failed affair with a wealthy dentist, Adele shows signs of mental disturbance; she fantasizes that her psychiatrist is in love with her, and begins to physically abuse the now-teenage Ann. Ann finally gets a role in a TV series, which enables her to escape her mother and attend an East Coast university. Ann avoids visiting Adele for years, but sends home money earned through her TV work, ostensibly for Adele to buy a house in California. When Ann finally does visit her mother, she finds that Adele spent the money on a new sports car rather than the house, in keeping with Adele's unwillingness to accept a settled fate.

In 1892 in Antelope Junction, Wyoming Territory, Montelius "Monte" Walsh (Tom Selleck) is an aging cowboy facing the final days of the Wild West era. He and his friend Chet Rollins (Keith Carradine), another long-time cowhand, work at whatever ranch work comes their way, but "nothing they can't do from a horse". Their lives are divided between months on the range and the occasional trip into town. Camaraderie and competition with the other cowboys fill their days. They seek work and take a job at the ranch of Cal Brennan (William Devane), where they meet an old friend, Shorty Austin (George Eads), another ranch hand.

Monte has a long-term relationship with an old flame, prostitute and saloon girl "Countess" Martine Bernard (Isabella Rossellini), who suffers from tuberculosis. Chet, meanwhile, has fallen in love with Mary Wilder (Lori Hallier), a widow who owns a hardware store. As barbed wire and railways steadily eliminate the need for the cowboy, Monte and his friends are left with fewer and fewer options. New work opportunities are available to them, but the freedom of the open prairie is what they long for. Shorty loses his job and gets involved in rustling and killing, gunning down a local lawman. Then Monte and Chet find that their lives on the range are inexorably redirected.

Chet marries Mary and goes to work in the store, telling Monte that their old way of life is simply disappearing. Caught up in the spirit of the moment, Monte asks Martine to marry him, and she accepts. Monte goes on a drinking binge and rides a wild bay horse that even Shorty could not tame through town, causing considerable damage.

A rodeo owner, Colonel Wilson (Wallace Shawn), sees him and offers him a job. Monte considers the high salary, but decides the work is too degrading and refuses. Eventually, they all must say goodbye to the lives they knew, and try to make a new start. When Shorty shoots and kills Chet while trying to rob the store, Monte, distraught after the death of his beloved Martine, goes after him.

Shorty arrives, and it is apparent that he knows of the fight to come with his former friend. He tells Monte he is sorry to hear of Martine's death, and walks off. Perhaps trying to give Monte a choice to kill him or walk away. Monte, unable to shoot Shorty in the back as he walks away, pursues. Shorty makes a long shot with a pistol at Monte, but runs off when the shot only wounds Monte in the left side. Monte then manages to slip around Shorty and shoots him. As Shorty is dying, Monte tells him that he rode the wild bay horse.

Seven years pass and Monte returns from working all over the West. His friends have gotten older, prices are rising, and he is seen by the townspeople as a relic of another time. However, one little boy asks for lessons in roping. When the accountant who manages the lands he used to ranch drives his primitive car into a mud puddle and asks for help, Monte jumps his horse over the vehicle and rides away.

Three months have passed since Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) boarded the spacecraft, and the 2nd Mass has been on the move. In the opening scene, a small group, part of the 2nd Mass, led by Captain Weaver (Will Patton), attack a group of Skitters and Mechs patrolling the streets. Ben Mason (Connor Jessup), who was captured by the Skitters months earlier, has since grown to despise the extra terrestrials. Weaver orders the group to cease fire and conserve ammo. Ben, however, notices a Skitter still alive. He jumps from the rooftop on which he was firing and slits the Skitter's throat. His brother, Hal (Drew Roy), follows him. They both hear a noise and notice another Skitter. Ben shoots it. However, at that point, Tom Mason was wrestling with it. The bullet goes through the Skitter and wounds Tom.

The group bring Tom back to their camp. Anne Glass (Moon Bloodgood) and Lourdes (Seychelle Gabriel) operate on Tom. While Tom is in surgery, flashbacks appear, filling in the gaps of his 3 month departure. He is apparently tortured by the alien “Overlords” while on the spaceship. Later, the Overlords wish to speak with him. They communicate through Karen (Jessy Schram), who was once part of the 2nd Mass. It tells Tom about a “Neutral Zone”, in which survivors can live in peace – detained in a camp run by The Overlords. Tom quickly realizes that negotiation with their invaders is out of the question, and he immediately refuses. He attacks a nearby Skitter and is knocked unconscious in the process.

Later, Tom is dropped off in a field somewhere. There, he discovers that other people were held captive on the spaceship as well. A Mech kills everyone, except for Tom, presumably to tell others about what he witnessed. He begins a pilgrimage back to Boston. On his way, he finds a girl, Teresa (Laine MacNeil) being mugged. Tom helps her. Teresa’s mother was murdered and Tom and Teresa bury her. They leave together on Teresa’s motorcycle. Later, they hear Mech fire and people. Teresa decides to leave and go to the mountains. Tom stays to find other survivors. There, he finds a Skitter. While attempting to kill it, Tom is shot by his son, Ben.

His story complete, Tom awakens to find Anne by his side. She tells him she knew he’d return for his sons. He tells her that he came back for her too. Tom then reunites with his children before greeting fellow members of the 2nd Mass. They appear happy to see him. Pope (Colin Cunningham), however, appears not so happy to see Tom. He tells Weaver about his suspicions.

Tom begins having nightmares about the Skitters recapturing him. A parasite is found in Tom's eye, forcing him to question his own loyalty. The 2nd Mass has to find a way to cross a destroyed bridge. Ben offers to cross the river alone to scout the area ahead. He learns that the ships are controlling a structure ahead. The bridge is fixed and vehicles begin to cross. However, airships begin to approach the 2nd Mass. Ben, Hal, Maggie and Dai blow up the structure controlling them, sending the ships away from the bridge. A swarm of Skitters and Mechs attempts to cross the bridge and attack the fighters. Tom slows them down by firing at them. Tom then runs, attempting to cross back. The 2nd Mass had planned to blow up the bridge. Weaver tries to wait for Tom but Pope detonates. Tom is, again, assumed dead. However, he swims back and the 2nd Mass heads to an abandoned airport.

An orphaned Jewish woman, Hadassah, longs to go to Jerusalem to see the Holy Land and prepares to leave with the caravan along with her friend, Jesse. They stop by the king's feast before he goes marching to war to avenge his father's death. Hadassah and Jesse witness the king summoning Queen Vashti. Queen Vashti was opposed to the war, desiring king Xerxes to enhance his kingdom instead. She holds her own feast in protest against the war. When the king summons her to his feast, she refuses to come, stating, "i am queen and i will not lower my dignity. Or shame my crown by wearing it before your drunk and thinly veiled war council". Because of this, king Xerxes is advised to banish her and select a more worthy queen.

All beautiful unmarried women in the city of Susa are brought to Xerxes. Under the command of her overprotective cousin, Mordecai (who was one of the king's scribes and worked in the palace) Hadassah does not reveal her nationality or family and changes her name to "Esther" (after the Babylonian goddess Ishtar) she is taken in with the rest of the selected women and given cosmetics, perfumes and treatments under the care of Hegai, the king's royal eunuch.

Mordecai refuses, declaring that he will only kneel before god and the king. He announces himself before Haman to be a son of Abraham, a Jew. Haman, filled with vengeance and hatred, seeks to destroy Mordecai and all his people because generations earlier; Jews persecuted his forefathers.

Esther discovers the plot and breaks protocol by going before the king unsummoned, risking her life to plead for her people. The king spares her life out of his love for her. She invites the king and Haman to a banquet and there reveals her nationality and Haman's plot to kill the Jews. The king, overwhelmed by her revelation, leaves the banquet.

Rosie is not going on the trip, so Mitch gives her instructions for after the Halloween dance. Toting her pink backpack, Rosie pauses at the door to watch Stan (Brent Sexton) conduct business on the phone, then she walks out.

In present day, Linden (Mireille Enos) and Holder (Joel Kinnaman) look for Jamie at Richmond's election rally. Gwen (Kristin Lehman) tells them he is late, as is Richmond. Holder calls in a search for Jamie's campaign car. In the parking garage, Gwen tells them that a driver dropped Richmond off at Jamie's grandfather's house. At the house, Jamie finds his grandfather, Ted Wright (Marcel Maillard), talking to Richmond. As Jamie leaves with Richmond, Ted mentions figuring out where Jamie was the night "that girl got killed". Jamie brings Richmond back to the office and informs him that Mayor Adams is conceding. After Richmond demands to know what is really going on, Jamie admits he arranged to plant the Indian bones at the waterfront construction site to hurt Adams' campaign. Chief Jackson and Michael Ames helped and, in exchange, Jamie promised that Richmond would approve the construction of a casino on the site. When Richmond asks what happened to Rosie, Jamie admits to an "accident".

In a flashback to the night of October 5, on the Wapi Casino's tenth floor, Jamie, Ames (Barclay Hope) and Chief Jackson (Claudia Ferri) discuss the Indian bones. All prepare to leave, but Jamie stays behind after hearing the noise of a phone ringing. As he walks back, he discovers Rosie. Jamie questions Rosie, who insists she did not hear anything.

Rosie starts screaming, but Jamie punches her to keep her quiet, knocking her unconscious.

Jamie tells Richmond that he panicked, that Rosie was going to "ruin everything". Richmond notes that Rosie was alive when the car sank into the lake.

In another flashback, Jamie chases a screaming Rosie through the woods near Discovery Park and again knocks her out with a flashlight to silence her.

After a dispatcher informs Holder that Jamie's campaign vehicle was found at City Hall, he, Linden, and Gwen arrive at the campaign office. Jamie commits suicide by cop when he points the gun at Linden, and Holder then shoots him dead. Later, a cop informs them that the gun was not loaded.

At the police station, Ames and Chief Jackson sit in separate interrogation rooms. Holder shows Linden items that were found in Jamie's house, including the missing film from Rosie's Super 8 camera in her backpack. Lt. Carlson (Mark Moses) commends them but adds that not enough evidence exists to link Ames to the murder, despite Linden informing him that Jamie's phone records show that he called Ames at 3:37 AM that night.

Stan wakes to find Mitch clearing out Rosie's room. He helps her pack Rosie's belongings into boxes. The Larsens later visit their new house. When Stan asks Mitch if she is sure she wants to move, she says yes.

Richmond writes a press release in his office, despite Gwen's insistence that he rest. He replies that he does not want Jamie's actions to define his legacy as mayor. Former mayor Lesley Adams (Tom Butler) later speaks with Richmond in the City Council chambers and offers his condolences about Jamie. He also tells him that he has the makings of a great leader.

As Stan packs in the garage, he gazes at Belko's name on a locker. Terry (Jamie Anne Allman) arrives to help Mitch pack, and Mitch says she regrets that she did not pay attention to Rosie. Terry assures her that she did.

Gwen calls Richmond, who is at the cemetery visiting his wife Lily's grave. He admits that it is time to move on and she smiles.

The detectives return to the lake in Discovery Park where Rosie's body was found. Linden notes that no one has said what happened there. Holder suggests they inform the Larsens. They find Terry in the Larsen garage and tell her they found Rosie's killer, but do not say who it is. After Terry goes upstairs, Linden notices the tail light on Terry's car is broken, recalling Jasper describing the car that dropped his father off on the night of Rosie's murder as having a broken tail light. In Rosie's room, they confront Terry about being at the lake when Rosie died. As Stan and Mitch enter the room, Terry apologizes, asking them to not be mad at her.

In a final flashback from Terry's point of view, Jamie yells at Ames, who was driven to the lake by Terry. She hears that Jamie has someone locked in the trunk of his campaign car, a witness who accidentally overheard Jamie, Ames and Chief Jackson earlier that night. Ames says that he is not going to be a part of the current events and calls off the whole deal. He insists that he will not leave his wife and start a new company if it requires him to kill someone. As Ames and Jamie continue arguing, Terry quietly goes to the campaign car and shifts it into "drive." The car rolls into the lake and slowly submerges as Rosie screams.

Crying, Terry insists to the Larsens that she did not know that it was Rosie in the trunk. Holder restrains Stan as he lunges at Terry. Linden arrests Terry. At the station, Holder tells Linden that Terry declined a lawyer. He gives Linden her badge, which Lt. Carlson reinstated, and they are handed Rosie's film after it has been verified as a "school project". She watches the film on a projector.

Gwen arrives at the office to see Richmond preparing for a meeting. Ames and Chief Jackson arrive and shake hands with Richmond, and Jackson thanks Richmond for his help in getting the charges dropped. Richmond closes the door on Gwen.

The Larsen boys wake their parents after finding a video in the mail. Together they watch Rosie's film, called "What I Know," in which she expresses her dreams of traveling and love for her family. Outside, the detectives sit in a car. Holder gets a phone call that a dead body has been found near the Sea-Tac airport. Linden gets out of the car. Holder insists they got the "bad guy". She asks laconically who that was. He drives off, leaving her behind to stare at the Larsen garage, then she walks away.

Krazy is driving a truck, delivering a piano to someone. The place of his delivery is an enormously tall condominium. Because the piano could not fit through the small doors, Krazy has no choice but to pass it through a window. To do so, his fellow deliverer lifts the instrument with a crane. While he stands on the elevating load, the feline has to deal with his acrophobia as the targeted window is in one of the high floors. He also has to handle some hostile residents.

Following some trouble going up and down, Krazy finally reaches the window of his recipient. The recipient is none other than Krazy's spaniel girlfriend who pops out of the window.

The film begins with a terrified woman, Erin, barefoot and covered in blood, running to an elderly neighbor’s house for shelter. She arrives at a bus station, now with cut and bleached hair. Cops appear and start looking for her, but she gets on a bus and escapes them. Finally, Erin arrives at Southport, North Carolina.

She introduces herself as Katie at the general store, gets a job as a waitress, and rents a small house on the edge of town. She befriends her neighbor, Jo, and meets Alex Wheatley who operates the local general store. He is a widowed father of two young children, Josh, who has a strained relationship with him, and Lexie.

It is not long before Katie starts a relationship with Alex, and becomes a mother figure to Josh and Lexie. Meanwhile, Kevin Tierney, a Boston police detective, prepares wanted posters for "Erin", a woman accused of first-degree murder. Alex sees the poster in the police station and notices the picture bears a striking resemblance to Katie. He confronts her, causing a huge fight which ends in their breakup and her moving out.

As Katie is about to leave town, Alex intercepts her, saying he has fallen in love with her, begging her not to leave and promising to keep her safe. Katie reluctantly returns his love, and decides to stay in Southport (though still apprehensive of bringing danger upon his family). She tells him that she fled there to escape her abusive and alcoholic cop husband. They got in a big fight and she stabbed him in self-defense before fleeing in a panic.

Meanwhile, Kevin is suspended for creating the false wanted posters - for crimes that were not committed - and for drinking on the job. He turns out to be Katie's (Erin's) husband, still alive and well. A flashback reveals that on the night Katie ran away, she stabbed Kevin with a knife when he attacked her in a drunken rage. Enraged, he breaks into Katie's former neighbor's home in Boston and gets the phone number to the restaurant where Katie works. Arriving in time for the town's Fourth of July parade, a severely intoxicated Kevin sees Katie kissing Alex, which enrages him. That evening, Katie has a dream that she is standing on the docks watching the fireworks when Jo comes up and tells Katie that "he" is here. Katie wakes up in the convenience store next to a sleeping Lexie when Kevin suddenly appears and confronts her, demanding that she go back with him. She refuses and tells him to leave. Kevin pulls a gun and pours gasoline all over the store, with the intent to burn it down.

Katie buys time by faking sympathy and agreeing to go back with him. When he lets his guard down, she pushes him into the water. A firework spark lands on the gasoline, igniting a fire that engulfs the store. Alex sees the burning store, quickly crosses the harbor by boat, and saves Lexie. Meanwhile, as Katie tries to fight off Kevin, the gun goes off and kills him.

After the fire, Alex recovers several letters written by his late wife Carly before she died. They were prepared ahead of time for memorable events such as Josh's eighteenth birthday and Lexie's wedding day. He also reconciles with Josh.

Jo later tells Katie that she will be leaving Southport soon. Katie thanks her for being a good friend and Jo tells her, "You deserve this, Katie. You belong here."

Alex gives Katie a letter with the words "To Her" on the envelope. It explains that Alex must be in love to have given her the letter and she hopes that she feels the same, wishing that she could be there with them. Enclosed with the letter is a photo of Alex's late wife. Katie realizes that her neighbor "Jo" was the ghost of Carly watching over them.

The game contains humorous references to various historical eras, such as Ancient Egypt and the French Revolution. The locations are often absurd and contain anachronisms – for instance, statues of a medieval castle are addicted to television.

The story of this game is mainly based on the movie ''Westworld'', its sequel ''Futureworld'', and the short-lived television series, ''Beyond Westworld''. In these movies Delos, the owner of an amusement park, offers vacation for rich people in areas which represent different time periods such as West World (the American Old West), Medieval World (medieval Europe), Roman World (pre-Christian Rome) and Futureworld; and in these amusement parks the attendants are androids and they are almost indistinguishable from human beings.

In the end Max has to fight against an enemy who seems to know his fighting style better than Max himself.

The story is told in flashbacks as Emilio Aguinaldo (E.R. Ejercito) thanks the United States government for giving him the opportunity to attend the full restoration of Philippine independence on July 4, 1946.

The film begins with his capture by Kapampangan and U.S. forces under General Frederick Funston's command in 1901, then flashes back to 1886, when an old woman gives Aguinaldo and his childhood friend Cándido Tirona (Ronnie Lazaro) cryptic prophecies. Ten years later, Aguinaldo is inducted into the Katipunan by the Supremo, Andrés Bonifacio, and later assumes leadership of its Cavite chapter the Magdalo while becoming mayor of Cavite El Viejo. When trouble breaks out in Manila in late August 1896, Aguinaldo tries to assure the Spanish provincial government of non-interference and covertly marshals his forces despite a lack of weapons. Learning that the Spanish mostly put their forces in Manila, Aguinaldo finally mobilizes his troops in Cavite and takes on Spanish troops at Cavite El Viejo, Imus, and Binakayan.

As the Katipunan rebels gain ground in Cavite and several provinces, its Magdalo and Magdiwang factions convene to elect a provisional government. Bonifacio oversees the Tejeros Convention, which elects Aguinaldo as president, Mariano Trías as vice-president, and himself as interior minister. He storms out of the convention when Daniel Tirona objects to his position. Aguinaldo's brother Críspulo informs him of his accession and convinces him to leave his troops just as he was seeking to defend against the Spaniards at Pasong Santol. However without reinforcement they were overrun and Crispulo was killed. Meanwhile, an embittered Bonifacio establishes his own revolutionary government in Naic and was later arrested during his act in the village. Aguinaldo is concerned about Bonifacio's actions and wanted him exiled, but the War Council advises his execution.

Several months later, Aguinaldo leaves Cavite with most of his forces intact and makes it to Biak-na-Bato in Bulacan, where he signs the Pact of Biak-na-Bato and heads for Hong Kong. There he meets with U.S. officials who approach him with offers of support and recognition of a new Philippine republic amidst the Spanish–American War. Aguinaldo returns to the Philippines winning his military victory under the First Philippine Republic and formally declares independence from Spain. As the Malolos Congress convenes, Felipe Agoncillo tries to represent the new nation at the Treaty of Paris negotiations, but gets stonewalled at every turn even as U.S. forces gradually arrive in the Philippines.

War with the Americans breaks out in February 1899, and General Antonio Luna is appointed supreme commander of the army. He is assassinated by disgruntled troops three months later, and the Filipino forces are gradually routed by the Americans. As a result, Aguinaldo flees to the north of Luzon. General Gregorio del Pilar volunteers to hold them off at Tirad Pass and buy Aguinaldo time. His loyal courier is later captured by the Americans while getting some medicine for his son. Now aware of Aguinaldo's hideout, Funston plans his capture.

Having been made to accept the American occupation over the Philippines, Aguinaldo lives a quiet life, which is marred by Hilaria's death in 1921. He meets and marries Agoncillo's niece María in 1930. Over the next few decades, the couple witness Philippine history unfold once more as he is defeated in the 1935 presidential elections, Japanese occupation, and the restoration of full independence. In 1962, an elderly Aguinaldo and his wife comfort each other over President Diosdado Macapagal's decree to restore the actual date of the Philippine declaration of independence.

As Aguinaldo lies on his bed, the same woman who gave him his prophecy appears to him one more time.

The main plot covers a journey to a crashed planet by a con-man, Rialto Mast and Peder Forbath, a knowledgeable sartorial. They seek to obtain items of fashion from a crashed ship, filled with items of clothing from the planet Caean. Due to the particular nature of the clothing -– so exquisite as to imbue the wearer with certain qualities – on Caean the skill of the designer is such that the title "supplants the functions of psychiatrist, priest, and molder of public opinion."

While scouring the wreckage, Peder finds a rare suit designed by the legendary designer, Frachionard. This particular suit is only one of five the designer completed in his life – and is made of Prossim, a material so rare that any one item would be infinitely valuable. Peder commandeers the suit and uses it to scale the ranks of the social scene. However, garments from Caean are outlawed in Peder's home world and most of the galaxy and as such Peder must utilise the suits qualities to bamboozle whomever gazes upon it. Its design is such that he can convince anyone of anything - even that the suit itself is not as it seems.

Soon Peder forms an overwhelming desire to visit Caean and will do anything to get there. Though he begins to wonder if it is he who wants to go, or if it is the suit.

The secondary plot consists of a team of scientists who travel to a distant portion of the galaxy and manage to discover two completely unique forms of life. The first, "Metalloids" or "Suit Men" whose infant forms are placed in space suits, in which they inhabit their entire lives. In fact, their entire identity and self image is that of a completely robotic form. This race inhabits a small asteroid belt and the open space around it – which, in their suits – they are completely free to roam. This race is at war with the more human-like "Cyborgs" who retain a human form, but are heavily modified to the extent that they can, too, explore space at will.

The scientific team attempt to uncover the mysteries of these races – descendant from man, but cut off for so long as to become completely unrecognisable.

A young woman is forced by conscience to become inappropriately engaged to a far older man, who threatens to reveal the secret that her father was previously a deserter.

Susan Wallace (Mary Stuart Masterson) is a 14-year-old girl addicted to drugs. After getting high with her best friend Tracy (Lauren Holly), her parents find them both passed out in her bedroom. Her father Bernie (Sam Waterston), a recovered alcoholic, refuses to see his daughter go down the same path, while his wife Marilyn (Christine Lahti) berates her daughter for her stupidity. They issue Susan an ultimatum: get clean or get out.

Several months later, Susan, now clean and sober, is rushed to the hospital when she aspirates fluid during a lake excursion with her rehab group. She is then diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and begins chemotherapy. Susan becomes withdrawn after losing her hair, but Marilyn coaxes her back to the outside, where she meets teenage mechanic Brian (Ricky Paull Goldin).

Some time passes, and Susan and Brian have grown closer. They confide in each other about how their fathers both run away from life. Brian agrees to stay with Susan even after she tells him of her illness, and the two share their first kiss.

Susan and her family go on vacation, which is cut short when Susan's grandfather, a cancer victim who had given up, dies. Brian comforts her at the funeral, and they wind up sleeping together.

Shortly after Susan's 16th birthday, she learns she's pregnant. Her doctor tells her bluntly that if she will continue the chemo, her baby will not survive, and that there are numerous risks, including premature birth, and that she will die if she stops chemo. After much discussion with her family and with Brian, she agrees to a doctor-ordered abortion. However, she gets cold feet the night before, calling Brian to come to the hospital. The neonatologist (Christine Avila) decides to take Brian and Susan to the NICU to show them what their baby might face, hoping it will solidify Susan's decision. Susan, after seeing the premature infants, ultimately decides to keep the baby, even though that will mean stopping the chemo and ultimately shortening her life. Brian yells at her for being selfish. Susan accuses him of just being scared to tell his parents, especially his alcoholic father. Brian confesses he loves her and doesn't want to lose her, and walks off.

A few weeks later, when Brian still hasn't told his parents, Susan's kid sister Christine (Keri Houlihan) takes matters into her own hands and tells Brian's mother Lucille (Margaret Blye). An argument takes place that night, with Bernie and Marilyn on Susan's side, while Brian's father (Jack Thibeau) says they can't afford it. Lucille, an abused wife afraid to leave her husband, is shut down when she tries to offer an opinion. After the Wallaces leave, Brian's father goes after him, and Brian leaves home.

As Susan's cancer spreads, she is put on a morphine pump to manage her pain, as Bernie finally comes to terms with his daughter dying. After a tense conversation between Marilyn and Lucille at the supermarket, Lucille finally stands up to her husband and gets Brian's location from him. She reaches out to Brian at a local racetrack to let him know that Susan is dying. Brian races to the hospital, where he discovers they are moving Susan to a different hospital: she has gone into premature labor.

Brian finally catches up to Susan as the doctors rush her in for an emergency c-section. Her father and longtime oncologist (Joe Regalbuto) are with Susan as she delivers a very premature boy, whom she names after his father.

Marilyn attempts to get Brian to take responsibility for his sick son, Baby Brian, but to no avail. Susan's condition continues to deteriorate. She dies one night shortly after her son's birth, with Bernie, Marilyn, and Brian by her side. Brian, unable to take his grief, walks out in a storm.

That same night, a grieving Bernie and Marilyn share a slow dance in the hallway to a ballad on the radio, “Lullaby”. The song continues to play as Brian walks into the NICU and visits Baby Brian, grasping his finger in a hopeful ending as he appears to finally accept his son. An epilogue reveals that the real “Baby Brian” is normal, happy, and healthy. Gordon Freeman dies.

Heremias (Ronnie Lazaro) is a poor farmer who travels with a group of salesmen who sell appliances to people from their wagons. Heremias works with these salesmen in making their sales, but grows dissatisfied with the monotonous life that comes with this job. The other salesmen start noticing Heremias' unenthusiastic attitude while on the job, and Heremias eventually tells them that he wishes to leave the group of salesmen. The other salesmen attempt persuading him to come back, but they eventually realize that he wishes to travel on his own.

Heremias leaves the group on one of the wagons, and starts traveling on his own. As he continues traveling, he encounters a harsh rainstorm as he is traveling. The rainstorm uproots some tree branches, causing them to fall in his wagon's path. Heremias has to clean the path so him and his cow can go through the path. He manages to clean out the path and him and his cow are eventually able to get through after a difficult struggle to clean the path out. Heremias then continues traveling with his cow and then finds a place to stay for the night.

The next day, he decides to stay there and tend to his cow. That night, while he is resting, Heremias meets two men who are staying for the night. He talks with the two men, along with another man who comes along, and they have dinner together as they talk. Heremias then goes to sleep, complaining that he feels tired and "dizzy". The two men then continue talking as Heremias goes to sleep.

The next day, Heremias wakes up, only to find that his cow has been stolen and his cart was burned the other night by the two men. He also finds that all the appliances in the cart were taken by the two men. Heremias breaks down crying at this realization, and then realizes he must walk for the rest of his journey. He takes his remaining belongings with him and leaves, continuing his journey.

Heremias then asks to meet with Chief Fredo, one of the town officials, and Fredo sends his men out to search through the house to try to find the stolen belongings. However, they cannot find them, and the search proves unsuccessful. However, Heremias attempts to prove his case by recounting the story from that night to the officials. The other prime suspects, including the two men who were there that night, give their own accounts of what happened that night.

After this, Chief Fredo tells Heremias that it is best he leave the barrio and go someplace else where it is safe. Heremias tells Chief Fredo that he will be leaving soon, and prepares to leave. However, before Heremias leaves, one of the officers, Sgt. Querubin asks him to consider paying him 50,000 pesos to support his case, that way the officials can resolve the case. However, Heremias tells Querubin that he doesn’t have money, and won’t be able to pay. Querubin tells him to consider paying the money, though.

Heremias then takes a bus, and, while on the bus, has a conversation with a man who tells him a legend of a “lizard princess” who supposedly controls one of the villages by keeping criminals out of the village. After Heremias takes the bus, he meets up with his salesmen again.

He then tells them about what happened while he was out—-his cart and cow having been stolen. However, they are unable to do anything about it, unfortunately. Heremias then tells one of the salesmen that night that he will be leaving the next morning. The salesman offers him some money, but he refuses it. Later that night, another salesman offers it to him, and Heremias finally accepts it before leaving.

Heremias then continues his journey, and first walks along several roads—-after walking these roads, he decides to go through the forest. After he goes through the forest, he continues walking along some of the roads—after this, he then stops at another forest and sleeps there for the night. As he stays there for a couple days, he finds an abandoned house there and observes several people staying there and their interactions.

That night, he observes a group of hooligans entering the abandoned house to stay there for the night, and they trip out on hallucinogens. As they trip out, they grow more aggressive and one of them starts beating the walls. They then become completely exhausted by the end of the trip—after this, the hooligans then reveal their plan to rape a young girl named Helena and then throw her in the river. Heremias overhears this plan, and, now shocked, then leaves the abandoned house.

Heremias then goes to Sgt. Querubin about the situation, and tells him about what happened at the abandoned house. Querubin questions Heremias about what happened, and Heremias explains more about what happened there. However, when Heremias tells him the name of the mastermind behind it, Bong Samson, Querubin tells him that Samson is the son of a powerful Congressman in office. Querubin warns him that if he were to tell anyone about what happened, he would be killed, since Congressman Samson is a powerful man. Heremias protests to Querubin that they must save the young girl, but is then shooed away by Querubin.

Heremias then finds a nearby church and goes in there to talk to the priest. He tells the priest about what happened at the abandoned house and tells him to pray for the young girl, Helena. The priest tells him to trust in God and that He will save Helena from the rape. Heremias then thanks the priest, and, before leaving, breaks down in tears for a moment and then leaves the church.

After he leaves the church, he goes back to Sgt. Querubin and tells him that he told the priest and that the priest said that it is the police's responsibility to save Helena from the men. However, Querubin becomes frustrated with Heremias over this and drives him to the forest. There, Querubin confronts Heremias and beats him in frustration—Querubin then leaves in anger, leaving Heremias laying there.

Heremias manages to recover from his injuries, and cries out to God in the forest. He promises God that he will sacrifice himself for Helena by walking for forty days and not eating for forty days, despite knowing that he will die doing so. He humbly asks God to save Helena, and cries out to Him in one last plea.

The next morning, Heremias leaves to begin his forty-day walk, and starts his journey.

Setting

The game's story begins with two nations, Branshaldo Empire and the Aura Republic, at war with each other over possession of an area of land called the Grantria Peninsula. The nations call a truce, but relations remain poor, with the fear of war erupting again constantly looming. The player gets to choose which party they side with, determining which side of the story is told, and which of the five endings to the war is shown.

Characters

The game is played through the eyes of a silent protagonist named Rito by default, though he can be renamed. The only dialogue from the character results from when the player is presented with three dialogue choices on how to respond to a question, with the possible responses typically shown as a positive, negative, or indifferent answer. The characters that fight alongside Rito vary depends on the path the player opts for him to take. The player can choose to have Rito align with either the Branshaldo Empire, the Aura Republic, or neither. The player may also choose to have him stick with a certain side for the whole game, or switch sides throughout the game, although the plot typically flows more clearly if Rito sticks to a certain side.

If the player sides with Branshaldo Empire, Rito will fight alongside Cynthia, a cold, temperamental mage fiercely supportive of her home region. Her side of the story focuses more closely into the struggles of Princess Adelaide, who is tasked with ruling the entire empire once her father passes away due to illness, and Darius, the General who advises Adelaide and controls the troops. If the player sides with the Aura Republic, Rito will fight alongside Yuri, an extremely formal and devoted knight. His side of the story focuses more closely on his adoptive father, who is in charge of the Republic, and his struggles with his biological son, Veda, and his strong hate towards Branshaldo Empire. If the player has Rito not side with either party, he instead travels with his friend Toren, a good natured ex-mercenary who detests war. His story focuses on cleaning up messes that arise as a by-product of the war, protecting the village that houses his love interest, Livia, and pursuing the mysterious "Jester" character. Additionally, there are extra, minor characters that are unrelated to the main story, that only appear if the player chooses to play optional "Sub-Events". A majority of the characters filling out the actual battle rosters are actually generic characters, which are created and customized by the player, but have no impact on the game's story.

The protagonist, a girl called Jennie is looking forward to receiving a new hat from her aunt - “It will be big and beautiful and flowery,” she tells herself happily.

The protagonist, Peter, wants to be able to call his dog Willie by whistling. Although it hurts him after a while he doesn't give up and eventually succeeds.

Though its title may suggest otherwise, ''Enough About Love'''s main topic is love. As Le Tellier writes in the prologue, "Any man—or woman—who wants to hear nothing—or no more—about love should put this book down."

According to the Other Press website, ''Enough About Love'' concerns the following:

Anna and Louise could be sisters, but they don’t know each other. They are both married with children, and for the most part, they are happy. On almost the same day, Anna, a psychiatrist, crosses paths with Yves, a writer, while Louise, a lawyer, meets Anna’s analyst, Thomas. Love at first sight is still possible for those into their forties and long-married. But when you have already mapped out a life path, a passionate affair can come at a high price. For our four characters, their lives are unexpectedly turned upside down by the deliciously inconvenient arrival of love. For Anna, meeting Yves has brought a flurry of excitement to her life and made her question her values, her reliable husband, and her responsibilities to her children. For Louise, a successful career woman in a stable and comfortable marriage, her routine is uprooted by the youthful passion she feels for Thomas. Thought-provoking, sophisticated, and, above all, amusing, Enough About Love captures the euphoria of desire through tender and unflinching portraits of husbands, wives, and lovers.

The film opens during a night-time thunderstorm when a frightened, confused and disheveled young woman runs down a country road and is picked up by a trucker. The film then shows through flashbacks how the young woman came to be in such a situation.

While at a gathering in a London art gallery, naive French model Anne-Marie DeVernet (Penny Irving) is shocked to see that her photographer boyfriend is exhibiting a recently-shot photo where she is seen being arrested by the police for public nudity. Humiliated, Anne-Marie dumps the photographer but soon finds solace in enigmatic fellow partygoer Mark E. DeSade (Robert Tayman), who offers to take her to his isolated country estate to escape the scandal her now ex-boyfriend has caused her.

Unfortunately, Anne-Marie soon discovers that Mark is a procurer of young girls for 'moral correction' by his sadistic mother, ex-reform school matron Margaret (Barbara Markham). Years earlier, Margaret was brought to trial when her corrupt reign over a girl's reform school led to the suicide of a young French girl under her charge (although in truth, Margaret murdered the girl and made it look like a suicide). Found not guilty but dismissed from her job in disgrace, she seduced the High Court Judge who heard her case (Patrick Barr). The judge, critical of the 'permissive society' of the England of the 1960s and 70s, nevertheless left his wife for Margaret, who bore him a son (Mark) who worked with her to turn their mansion home into a secret illegal prison for 'morally corrupt' and 'delinquent' young women, complete with a group of tough female wardens (led by Pete Walker regular Sheila Keith) who administer a harsh regime of corporal punishment upon their prisoners. However Mark and the now retired, blind and senile judge are oblivious to the fact that Margaret is in fact using the prison to torture and ultimately execute these young women upon them gaining three 'demerits' during their incarceration.

Anne-Marie soon falls foul of Margaret's cruelty as she reminds the evil matron of the charge she killed and whose death cost her her career and reputation. Meanwhile, Anne-Marie's concerned flatmate Julia (Ann Michelle) and Julia's boyfriend Tony (Ray Brooks) track down Mark, who has now discovered the full extent of his mother's murderous deeds at the prison after seeing her minions dispose of a prisoner's corpse.

Anne-Marie makes multiple escape attempts, but is recaptured every time. Her friends eventually find the prison, but too late to save her. She has been hanged after earning a third 'demerit'. As the police arrive Mark confronts his mother and is killed by her. Margaret, knowing the game is up, then kills herself with the same noose she set up for Anne-Marie. The judge and his wife's henchwomen are arrested, and the surviving prisoners are freed.

Kitty (Susan Scott) is waiting for her boyfriend Alberto (Robert Hoffmann) when she witnesses a murder through a coin-operated telescope. The woman is slashed to death by a black clad killer who carries a cane and limps. The police don't believe her at first, but later the corpse is discovered in the park. A peanut vendor who works in the area is next to die, followed by a string of brutal murders (a cleaning lady, a dancer, etc.). Alberto at one point becomes a suspect, as he carries a cane and has a limp. Some amateur sleuths decide to solve the murders and focus their attention on a nearby dance academy.

Captain Jung Tae-yoon (Rain), a Republic of Korea Air Force pilot in the Black Eagles aerobatic team, performs a cocky and dangerous maneuver during an air show and is transferred to the 21st Fighter Wing, a combat unit flying the F-15K strike fighter, led by Brigadier General Choi Byeong-gil (Jo Sung-ha) and Major Park Dae-suh (Kim Sung-soo). There he meets Cheol-hee (Yoo Jun-sang), the unit's own elite pilot. The two come into conflict immediately, since Tae-hun is free-spirited, whereas Cheol-hee is more by-the-book.

When a Korean People's Air Force MiG-29 crosses the Korean Demilitarized Zone in an attempt to defect, the 21st sorties to escort it. However, during the mission, a second KPAF MiG-29 suddenly arrives, shoots the defector down, and enters South Korean airspace. With the pursuit reaching Seoul, the pilots attempt to engage, but are told that the rules of engagement prohibits engaging over populated areas, allowing the MiG-29 to attack Seoul, causing major damage and numerous casualties. Tae-yoon and Dae-suh pursue the MiG-29 as it returns to North Korean airspace, but it manages to damage Dae-suh's plane. Dae-suh, noticing civilians below, ejects Ji Seok-hyun, his weapon systems officer, to safety and maneuvers his plane out of the civilians' way, but his ejection seat fails and he crashes into the mountain, killing him. Unable to engage the MiG-29, Tae-yoon is forced to turn back, allowing the MiG-29 to escape.

Back at the base, the 21st is informed that a rogue North Korean battalion led by General Kang Sang Yeol has taken a nuclear silo and is planning to fire a ballistic missile at the United States. An officer with United States Forces Korea informs the ROKAF that they have a B-2 Spirit ready for a preemptive strike, which would reignite the Korean conflict. Because the U.S. refuses to rescue Seok-hyun, the ROKAF and the Ministry of National Defense secretly launch their own rescue mission, assigning only a T-50 and an F-15K to avoid attention.

The mission is launched, and Seok-hyun is rescued by South Korean pararescue troops. After destroying the rogue battalion's base, the 21st are confronted by the MiG-29 from earlier, and they engage each other. During the dogfight, the MiG-29 stalls, allowing Tae-yoon to shoot it down. The T-50 is lost while trying to evade a SAM; however, the pilot survives. The rescue mission and strike against the nuclear silo are a success, and the B-2 strike is called off. At the end, Tae-yoon is shown giving his respects to his fallen comrade.

Shortly after the Dutch recognise Indonesia's independence in 1949, the military in Bandung, West Java, establishes a curfew. Iskandar (A.N. Alcaff) has been released from the Indonesian Armed Forces and is almost shot when he arrives in Bandung. He stays at the home of his fiancée Norma (Netty Herawaty) and her family. The following day, Norma's father sets Iskandar up with a job at the governor's office while Norma and her brother go shopping for a welcome-home party. The job goes poorly, and Iskandar is quickly fired.

He goes to see his former squad member, Gafar, who is now a successful building contractor, and explains that he feels that nobody understands him as a revolutionary, and that he still hears the screams of a family that he had killed. Iskandar then asks Gafar where their leader, Gunawan, is. Gafar tells Iskandar, but says Iskandar should not go. The former lieutenant ignores this advice and goes to see Gunawan, who now works to nationalise the economy and is not afraid to use force against his competitors. Gunawan wants to use Iskandar as a hired hand to threaten another businessman, but Iskandar refuses, storming out of the office.

Iskandar soon comes across another squadmate, Puja, who has left the army and become a pimp. He sees that Puja is addicted to gambling and mistreats his only prostitute, Laila (Dhalia). Iskandar stays and talks with Laila while Puja gambles, then goes back to talk to Gafar. Gafar reveals that the family Iskandar killed under Gunawan's orders were not Dutch spies, but refugees, and that the jewellery stolen from the family had been used to establish Gunawan's business. Iskandar swears revenge, then returns to Norma's for the party.

After Iskandar accidentally spills water on a girl's dress at the party, for which he is scolded, he goes to his room and takes his revolver. He then goes out, looking for a way to escape the guilt he is feeling. After he reaches Puja's house, the pimp says that they should kill Gunawan. They go together to their former leader's house, where Iskandar accuses the latter of corruption and pulls the revolver on him. Gunawan stutters that it was for the good of the country, and is shot. Meanwhile, Norma, worried about Iskandar, has gone out searching.

The two men panic and rush out of Gunawan's home. At Puja's home, the pimp asks why Iskandar shot Gunawan. Iskandar calls him a coward and hits him.

Ammar ('''''Aqasha''''') could still feel loss and emptiness in his heart even though his beloved girlfriend died three years ago. Could this be a coincidence or fate, when he met Nadira ('''''Tiz Zaqyah'''''), who has the same characteristics as his late girlfriend? The sudden feeling of deja vu he felt every time they met has created a special bond between Ammar and Nadira.

Nadira's life changed after a heart transplant, without realizing she also received the donor's 'properties'. Nadira to find the fate of Ammar, boyfriend to the heart donor. The first meeting at the airport between Ammar who had just returned from Australia with Nadira to be holidaying in Kundasang, Sabah has brought a thousand and one stories.

Ammar and Nadira met again in the same plane heading to Kundasang Sabah. Ammar returned to Malaysia to help a friend of his, Zahir ('''''Meor Mohd'''''), an interior designing company owner who was to conduct a project in Sabah. Ammar himself was unsure whether he returned with a new soul or Inara ('''''Aishah Ilias''''') is still strongly entrenched in his heart. Kundasang, Sabah was the place where Ammar and Inara fell in love and it was also a place where she was buried. Love was too beautiful for Ammar and it was not easy for him to forget Inara.

For Ammar, Inara is his first and last love. Ammar and Nadira met again in Kundasang when Nadira who kept taking pictures fell into the gorge. They both failed to rise to the top because it was already late afternoon and had an overnight stay.

Bazli is the manager of the Villa Hotel, a family business who is also Nadira's fiance. Nadira and Ammar met regularly for work routine. They became friends fast because of many similarities in the discussions for the project. Ammar failed to control his feelings and poured out his heart to Nadira. Nadira's sister, Uzma ('''''Rebecca Nur Al Islam'''''), who fancied Ammar, knew the connection between Ammar's late girlfriend and her sister, but she chose not to tell anyone.

Is it true that Ammar loved Nadira or just for Inara? What is the outcome of a love triangle between Ammar, Nadira and Bazli?

Three army officials are murdered but made to look as if they committed suicide. After wealthy master electrician Salvatore Chiarotti is found dead, three policemen—Inspector Giorgio Solmi, Lt. Luigi Caprara and Office De Luca—investigate.

Solmi and Caprara visit retired madam "Baronessa" Isidora Grimani, who has connections to Chiarotti, and when they discover she's running a brothel out of her estate, they offer her immunity for information. They go to interrogate Chiarotti's last visitor, Giuliana Raimondi—AKA "la Tunisina"—only to find she's attempted suicide. At the hospital, they tell her she's the prime suspect and she admits guilt. Solmi grows suspicious of her admission and suspects a blackmail plot, and she eventually admits she saw the true killer.

Caprara and De Luca keep watch over Chiarotti's villa overnight and witness a man break in and attempt to steal tape recordings. The man, Remo Ortolani, is taken into custody and Solmi listens to the recordings, which contain a conversation between the murdered General Stocchi and a lawyer named Rienzi, in which Rienzi invites Stocchi to join him in a plot, to which Stocchi refuses.

Solmi meets with Captain Sperli, who denies that Ortolani is an agent. Ortolani claims Chiarotti was blackmailing someone and he was aware of it, and that he wanted the tapes to acquire blackmail information. However, District Attorney Mannino discovers the tape has now been erased.

Solmi confronts Mrs. Martinetti, the wife of an oil baron, who had connections to Chiarotti. She says she contacted him when she learned her husband was planning to leave her after she had a tryst. Afterward, Mr. Martinetti tells Solmi that Chiarotti sold blackmail tapes on his wife to him, which he then purchased in order to sever ties with her.

Two assailants abduct Raimondi from the hospital and Mannino places the blame on Solmi and his haphazard approach to surveillance. Solmi asks to interrogate Ortolani, but Mannino tells him that he has been released, due to lack of evidence. Solmi, Caprara and De Luca apprehend Ortolani at the airport, and as the trio transport him for interrogation, an assassin on a motorcycle murders Ortolani. After a lengthy pursuit, the man escapes in a car with two other men.

Raimondi's captors say she must confess to killing Chiarotti or die, further bribing her with money and the promise of a short prison term. After trying to seduce one of them, she wrestles his gun from him and shoots him, then contacts Solmi and tells him one of the captors, Massù, killed Chiarotti. Before Solmi can rescue her, she is killed by Massù. Solmi and Caprara deduce that Massù's real identity is Giovanni Andreassi.

Solmi and his men confront Massù at a boxing club, and though he tries to flee, he is assaulted and arrested. Massù confesses that he made it appear that Raimondi killed Chiarotti and then murdered her so she couldn't talk, adding that Chiarotti was killed because he had blackmail material on Martinetti and his wife. Martinetti strongly denies any connection to Massù.

After Massù tells Mannino that his confession was extorted, Mannino says Solmi's team must confront Martinetti and Massù to discover who really killed Raimondi and Chiarotti. When they arrive at Massù's prison, they find he has been killed in a prison riot. Solmi and Mannino discover that a mysterious non-inmate killed Massù, and they go to Martinetti's estate to confront him but are told he has flown to Kuwait. De Luca investigates a bowling alley robbery and is murdered in a hit job intended to kill Solmi.

Solmi's reporter girlfriend, Maria, receives pictures of Stocchi's and Massù's killers together in Germany and Captain Sperli reveals that the killer is a German mercenary named Franz Schmidt. Solmi and Sperli pursue Schmidt, who is about to escape, as he knows the police are arriving. Solmi apprehends Schmidt, but Sperli shoots Schmidt and kills him, claiming he was protecting Solmi. Solmi finds papers in Schmidt's hotel room, including a list of names, Rienzi's among them, and also finds the geographical coordinates of a mountain camp.

Solmi and his men travel to the camp, where paramilitary forces are training, and someone sets fire to secret documents before escaping in a patrol car. Solmi and Caprara pursue him and the fugitive is forced to surrender. The fugitive turns out to be Captain Sperli, and they deduce that Sperli and Rienzi are the same person.

Sperli refuses to reveal the names of the other conspirators and is suspended by the police department and charged with murder, illegal dealing of military weapons and conspiracy to commit crimes. When Caprara transports Sperli for interrogation, Caprara admits he's the traitorous policeman and says he has devised an escape plan for Sperli. However, when Sperli tries to escape, Caprara and other officers murder him on the street. Solmi heads to his car to go speak to Mannino but is killed by a drive-by assassin, as Maria looks on in horror.

Two images – Sanan and Khumar – stand in the center of the play. Sanan - a person of high intellect and moral purity, getting a religious education, penetrates into it with great hesitations. He began to keep away from people who believe in religious tales and looks for the God in himself. Hesitations of Sanan calls the anger of fanatics surrounding him and this anger strengthens after they know about Sanan’s love to the Georgian girl Khumar – a marvelous beauty, whom he had seen in his dream and after long searches found her in reality. He loved the girl in Tiflis and agreed with conditions of the girl’s father that he will burn the Quran and become a swineherd.

Neither national, nor religious prejudices couldn’t redeem Sanan’s love to Khumar, in which they saw the highest demonstration of human being and destroyed all barriers standing on their way. In the name of love, Sanan ultimately broke off with the environment surrounding him and lapsed from Quran. He made sure that religion is an evil, which saws seeds of discords among nations and separates people. A theme of ideal love is opposed to violence, fanaticism and prejudices in the play. But, finally, Sanan and Khumar gained the victory over surrounding them evil. Persecuted by fanatics, they found their salvation in death.

In 1987, Jordan Belfort lands a job as a Wall Street stockbroker for L.F. Rothschild, employed under Mark Hanna. He is quickly enticed into the drug-fueled stockbroker culture and Hanna's belief that a broker's only goal is to make money for himself. Jordan loses his job following Black Monday, the largest one-day stock market drop in history, and takes a job at a boiler room brokerage firm on Long Island that specializes in penny stocks. Thanks to his aggressive pitching style and the high commissions, Jordan makes a small fortune.

Jordan befriends his neighbor Donnie Azoff, and the two found their own company. They recruit several of Jordan's friends, whom Jordan trains in the art of the "hard sell". Jordan's tactics and salesmanship largely contribute to the success of his pump and dump scheme, which involves inflating the price of a stock by issuing misleading, positive statements in order to sell it at an artificially augmented price. When the perpetrators of the scheme sell their overvalued securities, the price drops immensely and those who were conned into buying at the inflated price are left with stock that is suddenly worth much less than what they paid. To cloak this, Jordan gives the firm the respectable-sounding name Stratton Oakmont in 1989.

After an exposé in ''Forbes'', hundreds of ambitious young financiers flock to his company. Jordan becomes immensely successful and slides into a decadent lifestyle of prostitutes and drugs. He has an affair with a woman named Naomi Lapaglia; when his wife finds out, Jordan divorces her and marries Naomi in 1991. Meanwhile, the SEC and the FBI begin investigating Stratton Oakmont.

In 1993, Jordan illegally makes $22 million in three hours after securing the IPO of Steve Madden. This brings him and his firm further to the attention of the FBI. To hide his money, Jordan opens a Swiss bank account with corrupt banker Jean-Jacques Saurel in the name of Naomi's Aunt Emma, who is a British subject and thus outside the immediate reach of American authorities. He uses the wife and in-laws of his friend Brad Bodnick, who have European passports, to smuggle the cash into Switzerland.

Donnie and Brad get into public brawl during a money exchange which results in Brad being arrested but Donnie escapes. Jordan learns from his private investigator that the FBI is wiretapping his phones. Fearing for his son, Jordan's father advises him to leave Stratton Oakmont and lie low while Jordan's lawyer negotiates a deal to keep him out of prison. Jordan, however, cannot bear to quit and talks himself into staying in the middle of his farewell speech.

In 1996, Jordan, Donnie, and their wives are on a yacht trip to Italy when they learn that Aunt Emma has died. Jordan proceeds to Switzerland to forge her name and save the account. To bypass border controls, he orders his yacht captain to sail to Monaco, but the ship capsizes in a storm. After their rescue, the plane sent to take them to Geneva is destroyed when a seagull flies into the engine; Jordan takes this as a sign from God and attempts to sober his drug addiction.

In 1998, the FBI arrests Jordan because Saurel (arrested for an unrelated offense) has informed the FBI about Jordan. Since the evidence against him is overwhelming, Jordan agrees to gather evidence on his colleagues in exchange for leniency. Naomi tells Jordan she is divorcing him and wants full custody of their daughter and infant son. In a cocaine-fueled rage, Jordan hits Naomi and tries to drive away with his daughter, but crashes his car in the driveway.

Later on, Jordan wears a wire to work but slips a note to Donnie, warning him. The FBI discovers this, arrests Jordan, and raids and shuts down Stratton Oakmont. Despite breaching his deal, Jordan receives a reduced sentence of 36 months in a minimum security prison for his testimony and is released in 2000 after serving 22 months. After his release, Jordan makes a living hosting seminars on sales techniques.

Peter (Joshua Jackson), Walter (John Noble), and Astrid (Jasika Nicole), after being recovered by Etta (Georgina Haig), begin to adjust to the Observer-controlled world of 2036. Walter notes that he and the Observer September had created a plan prior to the Observers' takeover, but September had fragmented Walter's memory to protect the information. After the Observers' arrival, Walter had Olivia (Anna Torv) retrieve a device to help restore these memories, but she had disappeared. In the present, they trace Olivia's path, finding a nearby patch of amber, but cut into with several human-sized chunks removed. Etta explains there are "amber gypsies", who cut and sell trapped humans on the black market. They track down Olivia's piece of amber to Edward Markham (Clark Middleton), who had been in love with Olivia since the first time he saw her.

While they are retrieving the amber, the Observers, alerted by the black market dealer, arrive. Though they safely escape with Olivia, Walter is captured and taken to a secure Observer facility, where Captain Windmark (Michael Kopsa) arrives to interrogate him. Windmark starts violently probing Walter's mind. He taunts Walter with the fact that there is no music in this future, that nothing will grow from the scorched earth. On continued probing, Windmark discovers the fragmented memories and attempts to obtain the memories by any means possible.

Olivia is freed from the amber and has a tearful reunion with Peter while meeting her grown-up daughter for the first time. As they talk, it is revealed that Peter, Olivia, and young Etta were enjoying a picnic in a park on the day of the Observers' invasion, and Etta went missing in the confusion. Subsequently, Peter and Olivia had separated; Peter going to search for Etta, who had been taken by the Observers, and Olivia joining Walter in fighting them. Etta takes them to a hidden facility where human resistance members have found the device that Olivia had been trying to locate, the Transilience Thought-Unifier Model-11, which is capable of restoring Walter's thoughts, though they believe the device to be non-functional. While there, they can track Walter's capture to a secured Observer facility. Etta uses her Fringe credentials to break into the facility and recover Walter. Afterward, Windmark connects Etta to images of a young girl from Walter's mind.

Once safe, Walter finds that the Unifier device activates to his touch, but when they try to use it, it fails to find any memories; Etta suspects that the memories were destroyed, and the plan is lost for good. A despondent Walter tries to sleep but is distracted by reflections from outside, which he traces to a makeshift sculpture made of broken CDs. In a bag nearby he finds an undamaged CD and plays it on a car's stereo; he cries as it plays Yazoo's "Only You", the first music he's heard since awaking in 2036. As he mulls emotionally, he spies a single dandelion, growing from the rubble, and cries to himself.

The story unfolds in Melbourne with two spoiled rich brothers and best friends Robby (Amrinder Gill), and Rolly (Honey Singh). Their businessman father is worried about the future of his irresponsible sons so he strikes a deal with them, by throwing the brats out of his house and sending them to Punjab so that they can understand the realities of life and importance of their roots and heritage. The film is about how these two spoiled brothers arrive in Punjab and learn to live with the struggle, whilst being challenged by their father to come up with Rs. 3 million in 30 days in order to inherit his wealth. Otherwise the wealth would be transferred to charity which would be maintained by their father's secretary.

Wahoo Cray and his father, Mickey Cray, a professional animal wrangler, are hired to help with the latest episode of a reality series titled ''Expedition Survival!'' As Mickey was injured shortly before by an iguana falling on his head and is suffering the aftereffects of a serious concussion, Wahoo takes it upon himself to accept for both of them while his mother is on a business trip in China.

In addition to helping with the animals, Wahoo has to restrain his father, who becomes dangerously short-tempered while dealing with the show's flabby, obese, pampered, and obnoxious star, Derek Badger, who has little experience dealing with actual nature and no interest in learning.

While buying supplies at a Walmart in Florida City, the Crays are joined by Tuna Gordon, a teenaged classmate of Wahoo's, fleeing her abusive, alcoholic father, Jared Gordon. Unsure what else to do, Wahoo invites her to join them on their camping trip into the Everglades.

Predictably, the shoot in the Everglades is a series of fiascoes. Derek's clumsiness leads him to suffer a number of injuries, including being bitten a dozen times by an agitated banded water snake that he was attempting to kill and eat. Tuna, originally a huge fan of ''Expedition: Survival!'', is dispirited to learn just how fake the show and Derek are; for instance, his trademark parachute entrance into the wilderness is performed by a stuntman, and between shooting sessions, he is airlifted by helicopter to a luxury hotel in Miami.

The final fiasco occurs one night, when a lightning storm has grounded the helicopter and forced Derek to camp with the rest of the crew. When a large mastiff bat lands unexpectedly in their camp, Derek improvises a scene in which he plans to eat it, but the bat chomps his tongue in self-defense, and Mickey has to remove the creature without further mutilating Derek.

The next morning, Derek disappears, hijacking one of the airboats ferrying the crew and their equipment and driving wildly into the swamp. Derek has lapsed into a semi-delirious state as a result of infection from the bat bite; combined with a secret love for horror movies (specifically the Night Wing trilogy), he now believes he is in danger of turning into a vampire.

The show's crew organizes a search party from the souvenir shop on the Tamiami Trail they are using as a headquarters and things get further complicated when Jared Gordon tracks down his daughter at the souvenir shop. In terror, she jumps onto one of the search airboats and pleads with its driver, Link, to help her hide. Wahoo joins her, but Jared Gordon takes Mickey captive and shoots at the airboat as it is pulling away, seriously wounding Link. Jared then hijacks another airboat to track them down, taking Mickey along as a hostage.

Meanwhile, Derek, who has minimal real wilderness experience, is becoming increasingly wretched in the Everglades -- hungry, thirsty, completely lost, and suffering numerous injuries from mosquitoes, a near-miss from a bolt of lightning, a charge by a feral pig, and numerous falls from trees he tries to climb.

While Mickey steers the hijacked airboat on an aimless course through the swamp, ensuring that Jared Gordon doesn't get near the kids, Wahoo and Tuna try to find some way of going after them and also getting the wounded Link back to civilization. When their airboat dies, they search the tree island they landed on and happen upon Derek, half-delirious. They try to bail out the half-sunken airboat Derek stole, but Derek quickly collapses from exhaustion.

Wahoo and Link are briefly separated from Tuna, when Jared Gordon finally tracks her down. Knowing the police are now after him, Gordon demands that Mickey drive him and Tuna out of the swamp and help them escape. Mickey refuses to let Tuna go with her abusive father, so Gordon shoots him in the foot. When Link appears, demanding the return of his airboat, Gordon takes aim with his gun, and Wahoo jumps him. Gordon throws Wahoo aside and raises his gun, but then Derek charges out of the trees and, still delirious, overpowers Gordon by biting him ferociously on the neck, like a vampire. Gordon is tied up when the search parties finally arrive, rushing Mickey and Link to the hospital and placing Gordon under arrest. Wahoo and Tuna both thank Derek for his heroism, and Tuna makes a point of asking for an autograph.

A few months later, the Everglades episode of ''Expedition: Survival!'' is broadcast to an enormous audience, thanks to the publicity about Derek's heroic actions in the swamp. However, Derek's contract with the show is not renewed after he foolishly tries to leverage this publicity to demand a higher salary. He is replaced by an outdoorsman from New Zealand.

Thanks to some veiled threats from Wahoo's older sister, a lawyer, the show's producers agree to pay Mickey and Wahoo the full amount promised for their services. While the Cray family is watching the Everglades episode on television, Wahoo receives a phone call from Tuna, who is now living with her mother, Gordon's estranged wife, in Chicago. Neither of them is looking forward to testifying at Gordon's criminal trial, but Tuna promises that, regardless, she and her mother will be visiting Florida again. They promise to meet up again soon, addressing each other by the nicknames they pinned on each other during the adventure, "Lance" and "Lucille."

When he is only ten years old, Enzo Ferrari runs to the next village only to watch a car race. Now the direction for his life is set. He starts immediately working on vehicles and as soon as he is old enough to drive a real car, he becomes a race car driver.

Soon the young man shows ambitions in finding a racing team. He offers his services to Fiat but the team managers turn him down. Yet Alfa Romeo hires Ferrari and promotes him to team manager.

With gusto Ferrari takes his family to the races. His wife objects to the noise and considers this environment inappropriate for little Dino, but Enzo's enthusiasm knows no restraint. He is determined to raise him as his successor.

Ferrari's reputation grows and enables him to create his own company, Scuderia Ferrari. When he presents his employees (including Giuseppe Campari and Tazio Nuvolari) to the press, he explains that enthusiasm can be contagious. But when German troops come to Italy, Ferrari is accused of building weapons for the Italian resistance. Although one of the officers is a former racing driver and a fan of Ferrari and tries to protect him, Ferrari must hide.

After the war Enzo Ferrari rebuilds his destroyed factory, and begins pushing himself to his limits. Once he is back in business and has recovered from exhaustion, he finds out that Dino suffers with an especially severe form of muscular dystrophy. Enzo regrets not having spent more time with him, a thought which will haunt him for the rest of his life.

A cowardly alien race known as the Boov, led by Captain Smek, commence their "friendly" invasion of the planet Earth; relocating the humans, whom the Boov deem as simple and backwards, to the Australian Outback, the Boov inhabit their homes in a quick and bloodless conquest. Oh, an accident-prone, free-thinking Boov, decides to invite the other Boov to his apartment for a housewarming party, but no one comes. Meanwhile, 14-year-old Gratuity "Tip" Tucci and her Japanese Bobtail cat Pig drive around the city searching for Tip's mom Lucy, who was taken during the invasion.

Oh visits grumpy Boov traffic cop Kyle, to invite him to the party, but mistakenly sends the invitation email to every alien in the galaxy, including the hostile Gorg. The Gorg have pursued the Boov ever since a failed peace talk, during which Captain Smek accidentally took a Gorg artifact called the "Shusher"; Smek now uses it as his Symbol of Office. Furious with Oh for compromising their new home to their longtime enemy, the Boov declare him an outlaw. Oh runs into a convenience store to hide, just as Tip crashes the car and enters the store in search of supplies. Tip immediately attacks and locks Oh in a freezer, until he promises to fix her car. He turns it into a flying craft named "Slushious".

To hide from the Boov, Oh promises to help Tip find Lucy. However, Oh secretly decides to abandon Tip and take himself to Antarctica, the only place on Earth the Boov avoid. His attempt to leave Tip in a public restroom fails when Kyle appears, trying to force Oh to give him his email password so Smek can cancel the invitation.

Escaping Kyle, they reach Paris and sneak into the Boov Command Centre. Oh cancels the invite before it reaches the Gorg, then looks for Lucy. The computer confirms she is in Australia. Trying to return to Slushious, Oh and Tip are cornered by Smek and many more Boov at the Great Antenna (Eiffel Tower). Smek declares that he intends to "erase" Oh, despite the invite being stopped. Tip uses a Boov "gravity thingy" to turn the tower upside down, and she and Oh escape. Oh confides in her that he now believes Smek's propaganda about humans being simple and backward is wrong, and apologizes. They fly to Australia, but are suddenly surrounded by hundreds of Boov fleeing from Gorg drones, sent to search for them. Slushious is wrecked, but Oh finds a Gorg SuperChip in a crashed drone, and uses it to repair the car.

When they reach the human relocation camp, Oh realizes the other Boov are evacuating, and that the Gorg will likely take vengeance on Earth when they cannot find the Boov. He tries to convince Tip to flee with them, but she refuses. Oh joins the Boov, but runs back towards the Gorg to use the SuperChip to power the Boov mothership, which then easily outpaces the Gorg. Impressed at his bravery, the other Boov listen as Oh berates Captain Smek for his lies, and the other Boov for their cowardice. Moved, Kyle takes the Shusher from a horrified Smek and decrees Oh should be the new captain. Oh reluctantly accepts, turns the ship around, and returns to Earth. He helps Tip reunite with Lucy, fulfilling his promise.

Realizing from a chance remark of Tip's that the Gorg are actually chasing the Shusher and not the Boov, Oh locks Tip and Lucy inside Slushious, and faces the approaching Gorg ship alone. Tip and Lucy escape and try to stop him. The Gorg ship hits the brakes, only just avoiding crushing Oh. He returns the Shusher, revealed to be an egg containing the entire next generation of Gorg. The lone Gorg inside the ship happily accepts the egg; being the last of his kind, he had been desperately searching for his children.

After the Gorg leave, the Boov relocate their colony to the moon, but many visit Earth and mingle with the humans, who are restored to their original homes. Oh moves in with Tip and Lucy; many other aliens, invited by Oh, come to visit earth and attend his parties.

The story begins in Alika-Drove's home town of Alika. The narrative moves to Pallahaxi, a small coastal village where fishing and tourism are the main sources of income. At first it seems that, in spite of "the war with Asta" and other hints of disturbance, this is going to be their usual summer holiday by the seaside. Drove encounters Browneyes once more, for the first time since they met the previous summer, together with some other youngsters and local characters.

As a result of the planet's global geography and eccentric orbit, the sea undergoes a strange transformation in which it becomes a semi-solid. This phenomenon is called the 'grume'. Some creatures are specially adapted to take advantage of this.

Politics and a global climatic crisis drive the unexpected denouement. A long freeze is beginning, and Drove's family are among the few intended to survive underground. The narrator Drove is in the end driven by love for his girlfriend Browneyes, and grief for his friends who have perished in the killing cold, to abandon his refuge and find whatever waits for him outside. He believes that his near-human people can survive by hybernation, with the help of the Lorin.

Teenager Aden (Higa) has been training as an agent with the "Agents of Secret Stuff" (A.S.S.), a secret society of spies, his whole life. To receive his "Honorary Operative License Entitlement" (H.O.L.E.), he must fulfill one more mission for A.S.S. operative Tracy. Aden is given the undercover mission to protect Taylor (Arden Cho), a high school student who, for unknown reasons, has been targeted by the opposing assassins group, the "Society Involving Not-So-Good Stuff" (S.I.N.S.).

At first Aden, under the false name Jose McDonald, has difficulty fitting in with the high school scene, and continuously attempts to protect Taylor from normal things that he perceives as threats, causing more harm than good. On the fourth time protecting Taylor, Aden eventually reveals that he is an A.S.S., and explains the backstory of the S.I.N.S. and the A.S.S. When Taylor tells him to leave, he is forced to explain his actions, and she sympathetically helps him learn how to be a normal teenager.

On the day of the school dance, Aden again tries to save Taylor's life from Melvin (D-Trix), angering Taylor. Aden leaves Taylor with Melvin, only to realize Melvin is actually the S.I.N.S. assassin, which eventually leads to a chase scene to a warehouse. At the warehouse, Melvin ties Taylor to a chair, and when Aden eventually reaches the building, Melvin reveals that Taylor is part of the A.S.S.'s plans, which eventually leads to a fight between Aden and Melvin, which tilts to Aden's favor, until Melvin resorts to attacking Aden with a mousetrap. After Aden falls to the ground, Melvin attempts to finish him off with an axe. However, Taylor is able to break free from the chair, leading to a fight between the two.

Melvin was later defeated by Taylor, but eventually leaps at Aden and Taylor, but was later attacked from behind by Tracy. Tracy eventually congratulates Aden for "bringing out Taylor's full potential". Eventually, two other A.S.S. agents arrive, consisting of Aden's step-step-brother-in-law, and X (the A.S.S. founder), who reveals to Taylor that he is her father. X then also congratulates Aden, and awards him the H.O.L.E., making him an official A.S.S. Aden then asks Taylor to go to the homecoming dance with him, but Taylor was able to beat him to it, but when the two reach the school, the dance has already ended. Aden eventually sets his watch to JR Aquino's "You and I", and asks Taylor to dance. While dancing, a bush starts making noise, startling the two. Before they go investigate, the two share a kiss, ending the movie.

Set against the background of the Hollywood film industry, the story revolves around Clive Thurston, who has swindled his way to fame, and Eve, an utterly worthless woman who is beautiful to look at but lethal to love. The narrator describes his own thoughts and emotions and his perceptions, in relation to those of the characters whom he encounters throughout the book and also in relation to life and the world.

When ailing writer John Coulson dies without publishing the play he wrote, his acquaintance, shipping clerk Clive Thurston, decides to falsely claim the play as his own, and publishes it under his own name. The play's success leads to Clive becoming a wealthy celebrity script writer in Hollywood, with women at his beck and call. One stormy night, Clive visits his vacation home only to find two strangers trespassing: a man named Barrow and his companion, the glamorous Eve Marlow. Clive learns that Eve is a prostitute and Barrow is her paying client, who brought her to the unoccupied house for a tryst. Clive beats Barrow and throws him out of the house, and then tries to seduce Eve himself, but she hits him, knocking him unconscious, and disappears.

Following this encounter, Clive decides to find Eve and win her over, despite being in a relationship with Carol, a pretty script writer who wants to marry him. His butler, Russell, who admires Carol, warns Clive against Eve and advises him to marry Carol instead. Nevertheless, Clive finds Eve's house and takes her out. Eve tells him she is not interested in him and that she meets men for money but only has loyalty towards her husband, Jack, who is always away on business. Unconvinced, Clive continues to pursue Eve, paying for her services. Eve coldly plays around with Clive while continuing to see Barrow and other men.

Carol introduces Clive to prominent personalities in Hollywood, including director Gold who offers Clive a huge sum for a good script. Clive tries to write a script based on the personality of Eve, but is falling into debt as royalties of his one hit play start to decline. Being unskilled as a writer, he is unable to come up with a new novel or play, to the dismay of his publishers. Carol and his other acquaintances learn about his affair with Eve, and Clive briefly breaks up with Carol, then has second thoughts and abandons Eve, realizing that she doesn't care about him. Clive apologizes to Carol and promises to marry her. Gold, who also wanted to marry Carol, warns Clive that he better avoid Eve and not hurt Carol, and further hints that he believes Clive's hit play is not Clive's own work.

Clive and Carol are married, but soon Clive begins to long for Eve again. One day Eve telephones, cursing Clive for abandoning her and saying she mailed back all the money he paid for her services. When Carol goes away on a business trip, Clive secretly meets Eve again, but finds she has not changed, and that she lied about sending back his money. He later meets a redheaded prostitute who knows Eve, and takes the redhead home in order to learn more about Eve from her. The redhead tells him that Eve suffered an abusive childhood which caused her to become cold and cruel herself, and that she has no husband and just uses men for fun and money. Carol arrives home and sees Clive with the redhead. Shocked, she speeds off recklessly in her car, crashes and dies.

Clive's Hollywood career ends thereafter, as Gold gets evidence that Clive's play was not his own work, and Clive is forced to return all the royalties. A distraught Clive decides to kill Eve in revenge for all his misfortune. He sneaks into her house and attacks her, only to be beaten and thrown out by Eve and Barrow, just as Clive had earlier thrown Barrow out. Russell finds Clive and takes him home.

Two years later, Clive works with Russell at a shipping site, and has not seen Eve since the confrontation at her home. He writes a book about his past with Eve, in hopes she will read it and see how much he actually knew about her. Russell purchases a ferry with his savings, which he names ''Carol'', and makes Clive his partner for ferrying tourists across the harbour.

Sladen finds Fay Benson's body at the bottom of Lake Baldock, inside a barrel of cement. He follows clues which leads to numerous murders related to the Benson case but ultimately much to the detest of the Commissioner, Sladen solves the mystery.

Cade was lucky. He was famous, wealthy, sought after, and his creative talent for photography set him in a class of his own. Success hadn't spoiled him. He remained generous and unselfish, a simple man with a brilliant talent, and a champion of the unfortunate and the persecuted.

But like most creative artists he had his failings: he was extravagant, he drank more than was good for him, and was over-fond of the company of beautiful women. For a long time he escaped the logic of these failings, until Juana Roco, the young Mexican girl, swept into his life. Cade thought she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

Within a few months, Cade's luck had changed. Few people would have recognised the alcoholic wreck of a man left for dead on the streets of a town called Eastonville.

The leader of a small French resistance group who was betrayed to the Gestapo by one of the group's own members had died and the group came to London after World War II to avenge the death of their leader. But the traitor, Mallory, proved more than a match for them, and two corpses later, the remaining three called in outside help. They chose Martin Corridon, an ex-commando, who accepted the job and planned a neat double-cross of his own once he had the money. But it didn't quite work out that way: Corridon found himself trailing Mallory from the dens of Soho to the wilds of a remote Scottish island.

Professor Farnsworth launches a weather balloon to gather data on a series of recent, bizarre weather patterns on Earth. Fry ties his "lucky pants" to the balloon by mistake, so he shoots the balloon down and sends his pants down to Central Park on Earth, whereupon they are stolen by a Central Park Badger and dragged down a burrow. As the Planet Express crew go down the burrow to get them (with Leela breaking her leg when Fry tries to save her from falling), they stumble upon an ancient Martian pyramid and a large stone calendar. Amy translates the ideograms on the calendar, as she is somewhat familiar with the Martian language, and concludes that the world will end in 3012, the current year. Farnsworth reviews the data from the weather balloon and finds that the Sun is about to release a giant solar flare that will destroy the planet.

An electromagnetic storm causes all electronic devices on Earth to stop working, including spaceships, preventing evacuation from the planet. However, Amy learns through the calendar that the pyramid is actually a giant stone spacecraft able to hold 30,000 people. As they try to use the spacecraft for themselves, the Planet Express crew are caught by Zapp Brannigan and brought before President Richard Nixon's Head. President Nixon's Head insists that a decision-making machine called the Choose-Matron be used to select the most optimal cross-section of humanity to take to Mars, where they will restart human civilization. Fry is chosen because of his "lucky pants", while Leela is rejected since Zapp has been chosen to pilot the craft. Before boarding can begin, Fry disguises his boarding ticket as one for Leela and gives it to her while he remains behind on Earth with Bender (who purposefully remains behind to take part in the looting).

After reaching Mars, the evacuated humans are greeted by Leo and Inez Wong. Back on Earth, the remaining humans begin looting, as does Bender (going so far as to even steal from his own apartment). The escapees on Mars construct a new city called Dick Francisco, as well as a memorial statue for those who were left behind on Earth. They are then approached by the Martian Chief Singing Wind (who has returned to Mars to retrieve his possessions after abandoning his planet in "Where the Buggalo Roam"). Chief Singing Wind clarifies that the calendar foretells the destruction of Mars, not Earth, as the solar flare will bypass Earth and hit Mars; the calendar was created to warn the Earthlings to stay away from Mars. Because Zapp had disassembled the stone ship to construct the memorial statue, the humans on Mars are unable to escape. The solar flare bypasses Earth and strikes Mars, igniting the gases in the planet's crust, which propel Mars towards Earth. As Mars closes within hundreds of feet of Earth's surface, the escapees safely jump off of Mars and back onto their home planet. However, Leela is unable to jump due to her broken leg. Fry tries to grab Leela atop the Planet Express building as Mars passes by, but both only manage to tear off one of each other's arms. Scruffy rescues Leela off-screen using a ladder. With Mars still in Earth's orbit, Professor Farnsworth uses the birth machine from "Rebirth" to make new arms for Fry and Leela while their severed arms float off into space, still holding each other's hands.

Billy Grant is a police officer who is called to stop a noise complaint at a local party. Along with his partner, Spinelli, Billy enters the house to find two men causing all sorts of trouble. When Billy attempts to stop things peacefully, one of the thugs attempts to assault Billy, who uses his unarmed combat skills to stop the thug. However, when he puts the thug down, the thug's head smacks hard against the stairs. The other troublemaker looks in horror and yells to Billy, "You killed my brother, pig!". Spinelli shows up and arrests the one thug. Billy attempts to revive the thug's brother, but he ends up dead. Feeling guilt for what has happened, Billy decides to quit the police force.

Seven years later, we see Ken Marks and his mother. They are new to the area and Ken's mother has been looking for work, hence the reason for the move from Kansas. It is Ken's senior year in high school and already, his first day has led him to embarrassment. He sees a girl, Julie, and he decides he wants to get to know her. When he learns she is in the same class, he is warned by Mike, who becomes his new friend, to stay away from Julie. During a visit at the library, Ken decides to meet Julie despite Mike's warning. Julie's boyfriend, Tom, is the high school bully and when he sees Ken talking to Julie, he is given a verbal thrashing. However, Julie defuses the situation when she explains that Ken is new and didn't know about him. After school, he is met by Tom and his buddy Rob, who once again bully Ken with Tom warning him to stay away from Julie. It is there where the janitor asks if he is okay. The janitor is none other than Billy. Billy takes Ken to his janitor's room and the two get to know each other briefly before Ken leaves.

That night, Tom and Rob are at their dojo when the teacher is revealed to be Lee, the troublemaker from the opening of the film whose brother Billy accidentally killed. Lee is seen a ruthless fighter when Kate, Lee's henchwoman attracts Tom's attention. Lee easily disposes of a student showing his aggressive behavior. The next day, Julie attempts to apologize to Ken for what had happened the day before. Tom once again sees Ken with Julie in class and starts having a fit before Rob and Rob's girlfriend Gina calm him down. When Tom catches Ken in the library, he and Rob chase Ken to the gym. Once again, they try to bully him but Billy comes to the rescue and is able to stop Tom and Rob. Billy quickly disappears and when Mike and other students show up. They think Ken has beat the two of them up but Ken constantly tries to deny it. It takes Ken going to the janitor's room to convince Mike that Billy was responsible. Ken is now worried that if the truth gets out, he will be in serious trouble. That night at the dojo, Tom takes his aggression from the gym fight out on Rob during sparring. Kate sees Tom's bruised face and takes him to Lee. Lee is unhappy with what happened and constantly smacks him. He threatens Tom that if he fails again, he will be lucky if he lets him live.

At lunch the next day, Tom confronts Ken when he has heard that he took the credit for his beating the day before. Ken tries to deny it and reason with Tom. However, Tom doesn't listen and proceeds to humiliate Ken by beating him down with his martial arts skills. When Ken is seriously hurt, Mike takes him to Billy. A stunned Billy asks what has happened and Ken, in a fit of rage and embarrassment, tells Billy that he told her mother he didn't want to move. Billy finally tells Ken that he needs to learn to defend himself, and that he will teach him. After school, Billy and Ken begin their training by making Ken do some of Billy's duties by cleaning toilets, dumping trash, and other janitorial duties before they get into the physical training. Ken, focusing on his training, tells Julie that as much as he wants to be friends with her, he can't out of fear for Tom's bullying.

One night, after training, Ken is approached by Tom, who attempts to once again beat Ken. However, Ken uses mainly defensive moves until Tom attempts a crescent kick and Ken counters with a shot to the groin and runs fast. He then is met by Kate, who tells him to get in her car. She takes him to the dojo, which is also a front for an illegal martial arts competition in which it is revealed that Lee and Tom have been winners in. Kate offers Ken an advance to eventually come up to fight in the ring. Ken refuses and the next day, ken explains to Billy about the money the fighters make. This angers Billy, who has been going undercover and tracking the dojo down. Billy finally reveals to Ken that he was once a cop and he regrets quitting. Ken knows that Billy wants to take the dojo down because of the kids who are fighting. That night, Billy and Spinelli, who Billy called earlier in the day, reunite at the dojo but come up with nothing. Billy takes photos and as the duo walk out, they are met by some of Lee's men. Both Billy and Spinelli fend off the thugs and escape.

The next day, Lee sees the surveillance footage and goes on a rampage when he learns that it was Billy who was responsible. Lee sends two men, James and another hitman, to find Billy and kill him. That night after work, Billy is confronted by the hitmen. Billy gets injured, but ultimately gets the upper hand and leaves. That same night, Julie, tired of Tom's antics, breaks up with him and calls Ken to pick her up. The two talk during a small bonfire and Julie asks why Ken is learning martial arts. Ken tells Julie that he wants to stop Tom because he cares about her and wants to take her from him, in which she replies that he has already won her heart. Ken and Julie start a relationship.

The following morning, police tape is all over the gym and Ken is concerned and he thinks Billy may be involved. When Tom attempts to woo Julie again, Julie reminds Tom that they broke up and if he touches her again, she will make sure Ken deals with him. Tom is infuriated and smacks Julie across the face, prompting Ken to push Tom away. Ken warns Tom never to touch her again. Tom claims to own Julie but Ken reminds him that he doesn't own anyone. As Ken and Tom are about to go to blows, they are stopped by Rob and Gina, Ken decides enough is enough and takes up Tom's challenge to fight at Lee's dojo that Friday night. Without Billy, Ken begins to train hard and even teaches the nerdy Mike a little martial arts too. Meanwhile, Tom really lets his anger out on Rob, who also has had enough of Tom's aggressive behavior.

When the fight is on, Julie is worried that Ken will lose badly. Mike tells Julie that he called the police and told them to show up, but can't remember the time. Both Tom and Ken go back and forth hitting each other to the delight of the crowd. However, Tom soon gets the upper hand, making Lee very happy. When Tom nearly knocks out Ken, Ken looks on the ground and sees Mike and Julie, Billy returns in time, forcing Ken to begin to get the upper hand. As Tom attempts to attack, Ken continues to counter and attack. He finally beats Tom by using a spin kick followed by a jump spinning kick, knocking Tom out. As Ken raises his hand in victory, Lee, upset at Tom, knocks out down and begins to pummel Tom. Ken attempts to stop Lee, but fails. As Lee chokes Tom, Billy intervenes and now, it is between Lee and Billy. Both try to out do each other, with Tom now rooting for Billy. However, Lee resorts to dirty tactics such as whipping Billy with a belt and then choking him with the belt, but Billy stops Lee and begins his assault. When he tells Lee he won't hurt any more kids, Billy does the jump spinning kick he taught Ken and knocks Lee out. The police show up and as Kate attempts to escape, she is stopped by Mike. Tom, finally realizing his mistake, offers him hand to Ken only to stop and tells him he will see him around and thanks Billy for saving him. Ken kisses Julie and Mike intervenes saying it's time to go. Meanwhile, thanks to what has happened, Spinelli is thrilled to learn Billy is planning a full return to the police force.

The film opens with two friends "Billa Kesavan" aka "Theni" Kesavan (Vimal) and "Ranga Murugan" aka "Pattai" Murugan (Sivakarthikeyan), who are unemployed and want to become politicians. Meanwhile, Murugan meets Parvathy aka Paapaa (Regina Cassandra) and falls for her. On the other side, Kesavan meets Mithra Meenalochini (Bindu Madhavi) and falls for her. Paappaa and Mithra too fall for them after many confusions. There comes the Councilor Election, and Murugan stands for it. Paappaa gives Murugan money to spend for the election. Eventually, Murugan loses in the election. Seeing this, his father Aachivardham (Manoj Kumar) dies by falling off of the train platform. Due to this, Murugan gets his father's job.

The movie opens by introducing Aaron Roberts (8 years old) along with his father, stepmother and grandmother, going onboard a small cruise ship, the Corona Queen. Before his father and stepmother depart on their honeymoon, they offer Aaron a gift (much later found to be a pocket knife), which he rejects, throwing it to the ground and criticizing his new stepmother, petulantly stating that “She’s not my mother!"; we find out his mother died. Later his father and stepmother discuss Aaron’s behavior and decide to give him time to adjust. On the bridge of the Corona Queen, the captain and crew discover they are fast approaching a large sonar image, leading to a bizarre, scary, dark cloud formation the ship cannot escape. The frightened passengers run around the ship, panicked, and Aaron's father and stepmother cling to each other in their stateroom, as a bright light engulfs them.

Shifting to the present day (25 years later) the grown Aaron Roberts (Judd Nelson) is shown recording the story of the Mary Celeste, as he's become a paranormal researcher. A mysterious, black silhouette figure appears quietly in his office doorway. He tells Aaron that the similarities between the 2 cases (Mary Celeste and Corona Queen) are remarkable. Aaron contradicts him by saying that the Corona Queen has never been found. The figure moves away saying "We should all get on with our lives." and vanishes into the hall, as Aaron gets up to try and intercept the man. He bumps into a colleague, Mary, who verifies she saw no one leaving his office and tells him that the Corona Queen has been found adrift off the Bermuda Islands. We are then introduced to Dana Elway (Janet Gunn), an investigative reporter for a paranormal-based show, who finds the story of the Corona Queen being found exciting and newsworthy. and decides to fly out to the ship to capture the story, along with cameraman, Randall Banks, (Richard Gunn (actor)). Dana is told by her boss, Kaplan (Robert Pine) to accept Julie Largow (Scarlett Chorvat) as her newer, younger counterpart, who will not only be covering for her while Dana's on a lengthy upcoming vacation, but that Julie will be coming on this assignment with her; having no real choice, Dana agrees. Believing he would add human interest to the story, Dana decides to visit Aaron at his apartment and attempt to convince him to accompany her team to the Corona via helicopter. At first, Aaron refuses but after a dream taking him back to the tragic events on the Corona, he accepts. Also on the helicopter are salvage leader and rep for the cruise line that owned the Corona Queen, David Shaw (Lance Henriksen) and two of his salvage operators, Dazinger and Fields (Jeff Kober and Mark Sheppard). On the way to their destination during a violent storm across the ocean, they all discuss the Bermuda Triangle and wonder where the Corona Queen has been for so long. After the helicopter pilot finds the Corona Queen in the stormy waves, both teams and their gear is dropped from the helicopter to the ship deck, and the crews make their way through to the interior. As they explore the ship, which is found to be in remarkably good condition, they wonder if the damage found was the work of terrorists or pirates but question where the bodies of passengers and crew are, as the ship appears completely deserted.

While each of the new visitors to the Corona Queen start doing their jobs, eerie presences are sensed and strange things start to happen. Fields is the first killed by electric voltage. One by one, all see visions of their past or their dreams; for example Julie sees herself taking Dana's place and being offered a contract to sign, but after she does sign, we just hear her screams, are brought to a view of the ship from the outside. and that the others are seen looking for her. Later Randall is attacked and killed by a ghastly, ghostly Julie. When Dazinger and Aaron see 'Fields' wandering below ship while searching for Julie, Dazinger is killed by anchor chains falling on him, suffocating him. The remaining group members find the captain's log, and read that the Corona Queen had entered the mysterious dimension of the Bermuda Triangle. Before meeting his own tragic fate, the captain wrote that the crew and passengers have been slaughtered, the rest have simply vanished; the children were the last to disappear. One by one, all of the team members are killed, until it's down to just Aaron and Dana.

They barely manage to get away on the helicopter, summoned back earlier by Shaw when they found Fields dead and decided to leave, as the ship is once again swallowed up by the black clouds and storm, and sent back to where it had been for three decades. After the event, Dana is promoted to producer of her show and Kaplan is out, but finds it all bittersweet as she feels it came at the cost of the death of five people. Aaron is found in his office listening to his latest dictation, taken the day he was interrupted by the man in the doorway. As he listens he realizes that the man said "We should all get on with our lives. Good-bye, son." Rewinding the tape several times, hearing the word "son" makes him realize it was his father saying goodbye, and just after this Dana arrives at his door, as they had plans to go out to dinner. As they leave, the phone rings, but Aaron decides to let it go to the answering-machine. As the recording begins, we hear static and we travel with the static, along the wires, and end up at the Corona Queen.

When the clean-cut but rebellious son of a small-town sheriff steals the race car of a professional driver, the sheriff forms a motorized posse to recover the car.

Drifter Eddie Moore arrives in the small oil town of Rockfield, where he is picked up and harassed by the town's corrupt sheriff Leroy Rankin and deputy Tylor for violation of town ordinance against hitch-hiking. They dump him at the oil field and order him not to return to the town ever again.

Eddie wanders to a drive-in, where he buys an ice cream and falls in love with shopgirl Camille "Cam" Johnson. Cam then shows him around town in her van, before they drive to the mansion of Mr. H.L. Rockfield, the richest man in the area, and skinny-dip in the pool. Meanwhile, Tylor also arrives at mansion and starts criticizing the business practices of Rockfield. However, what he doesn't know is that Sheriff Rankin is also there and heard every word he said. Outside, Eddie and Cam witness as Rankin and Tylor argue, then Rankin pulls out a gun and shoots Tylor. Tylor manages to stagger away and seek refuge in the back of Cam's van, just as Cam and Eddie arrive flee in the van. Now Rankin wants them dead so that they won't talk, so he sets off in hot pursuit. With the van's back door open from where Tylor staggered in, Rankin shoots inside and shoots him dead. The pursuit ends with Cam crashing the van into the ditch, but she and Eddie survive. As Rankin comes down to investigate, he trips and falls unconscious. Cam and Eddie escape in his car. A hot pursuit ensues as they encounter Rankin's deputies.

After a while, Rankin's car dies, so Eddie and Cam hijack a Cadillac. As they stop at a diner, Eddie tells Cam to call a lawyer, which she does, albeit it's Sunday and so the lawyer isn't working. Just then, the Cadillac's owner arrives, having hitched a ride with United Farm Workers in the back of a pickup truck, and starts to fight Eddie. Cam manages to break up the fight by firing a pistol they took from Tylor in the van. Eddie and Cam escape again in the Cadillac to the next town of Cody, with Rankin, who has called the Cody County sheriff, following. Eddie and Cam manage to evade the sheriff's deputies in a warehouse, before going into a flea store where they call the FBI to report the murder, but are forced to hang up and flee again when the deputies enter the store. They slip out of the back door and steal another car, and another hot pursuit ensues.

Eddie and Cam evade the pursuers, then break into an empty house, where they end up making love under a shower. The next morning, they call lawyer Alex Warren, who agrees to take their case. Warren smuggles them out of town to his house with Eddie in the trunk and Cam with a hat on her head. He then strikes a deal with the attorney general that if the AG calls off the police pursuit, Eddie and Cam will surrender themselves as witnesses in the court.

On the court day, Alex drives off in his station wagon, towing a boat in the back of his station wagon and Eddie and Cam hidden under tarpaulin in the back seat. When he encounters a police patrol, he demands they produce a warrant to search his car, and drives off when they fail to do so. However, Rankin's men are tailing them, and Rankin gets his friends to try to kill Eddie, Cam and Alex to make sure they don't testify. Eddie, Cam and Alex manage to evade them, but just as they arrive near the courthouse, a car drives up and two men shoot at them, killing Alex. Cam screams in terror, while Eddie flees as the crowd waiting outside the courthouse runs to the scene. Cam is left in a catatonic state and is taken to a hospital.

Eddie evades Rankin's patrols, then breaks into the National Guard armory. He obtains a scoped rifle, and at night, shoots at the police cars outside Rockfield police station from a distance, blowing them up. This attracts the attention of Rankin and his deputies, who run outside and start shooting back. Eddie shoots Rankin dead before fleeing from the scene. In the final scene, Cam is shown sitting outside in a psychiatric hospital, still in the catatonic state. Eddie, looking at her from behind the fence, throws a plush toy over the fence, which lands in front of Cam. She then breaks out of her catatonic state and comes to the fence, where she talks to Eddie, who asks her if she can climb over the fence. Cam says she can and the movie ends as she climbs the fence.

Three fashion models travel from Los Angeles to Hong Kong for a shoot. Barbara accidentally comes in possession of some microfilm and is chased by secret service agents. Claire tries to get a role in a film. Mandy tries to make it as a model and falls for their photographer.

A gang of four female bikers, Syreena, Carmen, Miranda, and Theda, pull into a roadside dinner where they get in a fight with 3 US Marines pieing them with the lemon meringue pies they ordered. They win the fight, and proceed to drive off while humming the Marine corps hymn. Later a group of comically militarized cops pull them over and demand to see their driver's licenses. One fat cop is stuck in the police cruiser, however, and Syreena walks over and demands to see ''his'' driver's license. They argue briefly, but then leave, but the cops crash into a group of bank robbers while exiting the parking lot. The girls drive to Sky hog BBQ where they meet a rival gang of men who challenge them to a race around the police station. Syreena races the rival leader named Mellow. The police are sitting in their car as it's being washed by the inmates as the two race past them. Two English looking policemen briefly pursue them with horses, but they get away. During the race, they see the KKK in the back of a box truck, remarking that "they're back". Syreena beats mellow, and the two head back to their biker hang out.

The two gangs fraternize for a bit and Syreena and Mellow get intimate in a comedic way. The police show up to arrest the gang member named Wired, for supposedly doing drugs. They batter though the door using one of the officer's head like a battering ram. Wired is seen convulsing, but the police remark that "he's always like that." Later Syreena drives to a dingy neighborhood to find an abandoned house with her brother Laz, who greets her by jumping out the window with a kung fu kick. She asks him if he knows where her mother, Cinderella, is, but he says that he hasn't seen her for 10 days. He reenters the house by smashing through the door. Syreena asks where he learned his kung fu, but he retorts that it is "way beyond kung fu, it's an ancient African martial art practiced by the imperial guards of the Zambezi river."

A man named Commander Cross (who is a parody of Colonel Sanders) is seen speaking to black people gathered outside his mansion. He is speaking about his efforts of the Cross foundation to enrich the welfare of black people. Syreena pulls up in her motorcycle dressed as a nun. She meets with a maid working at the mansion and asks her if she knows where her mother is, but she doesn't know, but says her mother was possibly involved with abortions. She suggests she ask the local detective.

The cops from before are seen discussing the locations of criminals on a map console labeled "Ghetto Alert Map" when suddenly the alarm lights up, startling them into action. Syreena is at the police station disguised as a cop, and informs the cops that the alert ''is'' at the police station, saying "This ''is'' 77th and Normandy." Syreena meets the detective, seeing him in a dress and remarks that she "expected a straight," to which he retorts "don't be too sure I'm not." He explains that he's investigating a white female rapist who targets "black faggots" as he applies blackface to himself. She questions him about her missing mother to which he reports that he's busy investigating the disappearance of several prominent black males. The other cops appear and shoot him, thinking he's black, before he is able to leave the station.

The two gangs are seen enjoying themselves at a carnival until the KKK appears and gets in a fight with them. The police show up and calm the fight, but another prominent black man gets abducted.

Syreena visits her uncle who owns a junk store and he directs her to a pimp named Philo Raspberry. She questions him about the location of her mother, but he claims he's busy already looking for the missing men. She spits her champagne in his face. She's about to leave empty-handed, but a girl comes up to her impressed by her standing up to Raspberry. She explains that another girl might have information on her mother, a girl named Lexie who worked with her as a prostitute for a pimp named Casabah Volt. She then travels with her gang to meet him where he operates a middle eastern themed brothel. They interrogate Volt on the location of Lexie. At first, he is unwilling to talk, but they threaten him with a resident gang member who is dirty enough to contaminate all his prostitutes with a single touch. He tells them about an ice cream man named cowboy dealer who sells ice cream mixed with drugs. They once again threaten him and he in turn leads them to the freezer building where Lexie is.

Lexie admits that she doesn't know where her mother is, but says she was involved with a runaway house that her mother was at. She says she was drugged at one point and woke up pregnant. With the help of her brother, Syreena captures Raspberry and questions him on his involvement with the runaway house. He admits that he is an intermediary between them and the cross foundation.

Syreena is chased by the KKK and captured. She is brought to Colonel Cross' mansion where he is wearing a pig costume. He explains that he is using a cloning machine to replace heads of the black community to control the black vote.

She escapes, leading to a large motorcycle chase sequence with the KKK, but she evades them and links up with other bikers. The black community fights with the colonel, his clones, and the KKK. Finally, they rescue Cinderella, Syreena's mother and watch as the cloning machine gives birth to another colonel, who walks up to Syreena and hugs her, calling her mama.

The stock plot deals with Roscoe Wilton (Jimmy McNichol), a teenage joyriding car thief, evading Cyco County Sheriff Turner (Walter Barnes) and his unintelligent deputies.

Turner becomes even more obsessed with catching Roscoe after he kidnaps his overly-sheltered daughter, Peggy Sue (Janet Julian), just as she is about to be crowned Homecoming Queen during a football game at their high school. In so doing, Roscoe also makes himself a target of other characters, including his best friend Harold (John Blyth Barrymore), Peggy Sue's friend Cindy (Kari Lizer), and Kenny (William Forsythe), a sanctimonius quarterback who is deeply, but vainly, in love with Peggy Sue.

While Roscoe is being chased by Sheriff Turner, Turner himself incurs the wrath of neighboring Knotsie County Sheriff Sherm Bleed after commandeering one of Bleed's cruisers. Turner's pursuit of Roscoe (and Peggy Sue, who quickly begins to enjoy being in Roscoe's company) goes through two other neighboring counties, with Turner commandeering several other police cruisers and civilian cars only to wreck each one in spectacular fashion.

Subplots

Lester (Patrick Campbell), a local moonshiner is looking to sell his "secret formula" to an Arab oil sheik for "a million clams"; the deal falls through when it turns out the sheik brought actual clams instead of money. Harold and Cindy share a car as they join in the chase; Harold to get his dad's car back from Roscoe, and Cindy to give Peggy Sue her crown. As the chase progresses, Harold and Cindy begin to fall for one another, similar to Roscoe and Peggy Sue. At a nearby truck stop, a preteen girl is willing to let Roscoe and Peggy Sue steal her father's station wagon (with boat in tow) in exchange for a carton of cigarettes. The girl appears several times more throughout the film, including near the end when everyone converges on Snake Lake Beach in a chaotic free-for-all; watching from a distance, the girl muses, "What, I ask you, is the point in growing up?". Kenny's infatuation with Peggy Sue motivates him to chase the elusive couple on his own in an attempt to rescue her; he even goes so far as to run other police cruisers off the road just so he can save Peggy Sue himself. After the fight on the beach, Kenny is eventually "arrested" by the female sheriff of neighboring Belladonna County.

The exploits of two sisters – Lorette Peach (Tucker), a country-western singer and Sue Lynn Peach (Nunn), owner of the Georgia Peaches Garage, and Dusty Tyree (Benedict), a stock car racer – as three friends recruited as undercover agents by the U.S. Treasury Department.

Anna Winter is a young woman who discovers her mother had an affair with a married man for 15 years, so she starts her own affair with a married man.

Anna works for a Los Angeles public radio station. She often must care for her alcoholic father and comply with his many demands. When she finds love letters, revealing her mother's longtime involvement with someone else, Anna develops a romantic notion of the idea as something suitable for herself.

She meets a photographer, Oliver Andrews, who is happily married and a father. Their physical attraction is immediate and they begin a torrid affair, but Oliver cautions her from the start that he has no intention of leaving his family. Anna has no objection, enjoying the sex and intimacy for the time being, until feelings develop and she begins to desire a permanent relationship, intruding on Oliver's privacy in the process, with unhappy consequences for all. In the end she finally meets the man her mother had an affair with and she decides to take a job offer at a radio station in San Francisco to give herself a fresh start in life.

Half-witted longtime friends Albert (Luis Manzano), Isaac (Billy Crawford), Mozart "Mo" (DJ Durano), Michaelangelo "Mike" (Martin Escudero) and Aristotle "Aris" (Marvin Agustin) were used to living moronic yet pretty normal and hassle-free lives until successful careerwoman Beckie Pamintuan (John Lapus) accused them of killing her father and ruin everything for them. The Moron 5 are more than sure of their innocence but for the life of them, they can't find any single satisfactory argument on how to prove it especially when their opponent would do everything to punish them for whim. Spending three miserable years in prison trying different failed comedic attempts to get out, they finally figured a way to escape. They stalked Beckie and tried to understand why she's fighting so hard to have them imprisoned when it's clear as day that what happened three years ago was a nonsense frame-up. An opportunity came when Beckie's driver got fired for having an affair with her maid and Albert volunteered to apply to replace him. He infiltrated the Pamintuan Residence and together with his four crazily daft friends, they've gathered information about the curious family yet to them, it isn't making any sense at all especially Becky's unexplained hatred to the five of them. Why is Beckie fighting so hard to have them suffer? The Moron 5 will try harder to know and hopefully understand what's really going on although little did they know that by doing so, everything that they hold dear might be at risk.

Mr. Tooting has just been fired from his job, much to the dismay of Mrs. Tooting, moody daughter Lucy, whizz-kid Jem, and little Harry. Instead of looking for a new job, he instead decides to fix things around the house. But when all of his "fixes" turn into disasters, his family decides to find something better for him to do. One day, Mrs. Tooting comes home with an old broken camper-van. She says that Mr. Tooting is just the person to get it working, which he agrees to. Over the next few weeks, he and Jem work together to fix the van and make it run again.

When they go to a local junkyard to find new spark plugs, Mr. Tooting notices something in one of the trees. What he finds is a very old engine, which he promptly brings down by starting it and revving the engine until it falls. He decides (much to the annoyance of Jem) to put the engine into their van, thinking that it must be special given the name "Zborowski" written on it. Jem also finds a small airplane mascot, which he decides to keep.

Mr. Tooting and Jem return home and collect the family, ready to go on a test drive of the new car. But soon the car begins to act strangely. It disobeys traffic signs, the speed limit, and seems to enjoy racing other cars. The van soon takes them off the freeway and onto an old path. They then find themselves at a Camper-van club, where they forget to put the car in park. The van rides down the hill and over a cliff with Little Harry inside. But the car comes back, having sprouted a set of wings. After making sure everything's alright, the family gets back in the van and flies away.

The next day, the family finds itself parked atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris. They decide to explore the city, before returning that night to get the car down. Mr. Tooting gets a call from someone called Tiny Jack who wants to buy the van. When Mr. Tooting refuses, the man becomes angry and demands the car. Mr. Tooting ends the call and tries to get the van to start. While he does, Jem notices two old lamps attached to a nearby billboard. When he inspects them, he finds the word "Zborowski" written on them, just like the engine. He and Mr. Tooting attach them to the car's grill, after which it starts up. As the family flies away, they notice the car makes a different sound, and decide to give it a name: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

The following evening, Chitty runs out of gas and crashes near the Pyramids of Egypt. There, they meet a woman called "Nanny" who has found some old wheels in the sand. She invites the Tootings to stay with her for the evening, which they accept. Nanny takes them to a large estate, where they relax and enjoy themselves. Mr. and Mrs. Tooting decide to go out for the night, leaving the children with their host.

The next morning, the children discover the estate is actually a large boat and has left their parents behind. Nanny actually works for Tiny Jack, who has taken Chitty apart trying to find the "Zborowski Lightning" (the airplane mascot Jem has) leaving them unable to escape. Lucy and Little Henry distract the two by tricking them into playing Hide and Seek. Meanwhile, Jem puts Chitty back together. Once Chitty is done, they grab the old wheels from Egypt (also with the word Zborowski on them) and escape into the sea. Chitty turns into a submarine and after encountering a giant squid, they make their way to the shores of Madagascar.

There, they meet a family who accidentally reels in the van. While Lucy and Little Harry explore the town, Jem sees that the boat the family is using is actually a car shell with the word "Zborowski" on it. Jem finally realizes that Chitty has been taking them around the world so they can collect her old bodywork and put her back together. After trading their camper van for the car shell, a local mechanic takes all the parts and is able to put Chitty back the way she was before the Tootings found her. They drive Chitty into the sky to search for their parents. They soon find their parents and decide to head home to finish Chitty's repairs. Along the way, they learn a little more about Chitty, as well as the family that owned her before them: The Pott Family.

On their way home, Little Harry accidentally pulls a lever (called the Chronojuster) that sends Chitty quickly backwards. When she finally stops, they find themselves in a place filled with Dinosaurs. Jem reads a journal that says the lever shouldn't be used "unless time travel is required".

In 1965, five boys at Taft and Adams High School try to see the bare breasts of Purity Bush, the most beautiful girl in school. After being set up, reprimanded and sent to detention by the principal because of Purity, they plot their revenge.

Social worker Elena Rosas (Charise Castro Smith) is found shot dead in a motel. When Megan Hunt (Dana Delany) looks through her autopsy scan, she notices Elena had brain surgery and gets a shock when she realizes that Elena was one of her patients as she used to be a neurosurgeon, however she cannot remember her, just the procedure. Megan speaks with Elena's father Armando (Tony Plana), who remembers Megan from the surgery, and tells her that Elena saw Megan as a role model, due to Elena's mother early death. After speaking with Elena's boss Jeremy Nicholls (Edoardo Ballerini), he states that he cannot understand why Elena was in a motel, as she had no appointments near that location. Traces of breast milk are found on Elena's shirt, showing she was near a baby when she died, which leads them to Holly Bennett (Yaya DaCosta), one of Elena's clients. She reveals that her baby nearly got taken away due to her drug addicted boyfriend, and that whilst Elena was visiting her baby vomited on her, but left in a hurry before she could clean it up. Megan and Detective Bud Morris (John Carroll Lynch) visit Armando to ask if Elena was in a relationship; hence why she was in a motel. They find out that it is Jeremy, but he says that Elena ended their relationship hours before she died.

Megan finds out that the shooter was in fact outside the room. They find Sean Wilcox's (Tobias Segal) skin on the bullet, a recently released criminal. Sean denies killing Elena, but states that he was one of Elena's patients, and that she had rented the motel room for him, to give him a place to stay. After falling asleep in the room, he awoke after hearing a shot. After seeing Elena dead on the floor, and himself injured, he ran after thinking no one would believe his account of what happened. After Bud and Detective Samantha Baker (Sonja Sohn) meet with Sean's "friend" Vincent Stone (Zach McGowan), he admits that he was warned off by Elena after phoning Sean six times in one day, so Samantha and Bud start to develop a theory about how Vincent killed Elena. After persuasion by Peter Dunlop (Nicholas Bishop), Sean helps the police, which allows them to get an arrest warrant for Vincent, however Megan finds rice flour on the bullet, which concludes that Vincent did not kill Elena. The rice flour leads them back to Holly, as she has a baby, and rice flour is commonly used for babies. They arrest Holly, who reveals that Elena visited her and discovers Holly was back on drugs, and was going to take Holly's baby. Holly followed Elena, and shot her to prevent this from happening. After the confession, social services arrive, and take Holly's baby away. Back at the office, Curtis Brumfield (Windell Middlebrooks) plays pranks towards Megan and Peter tells Megan that Bud is experiencing marriage problems, so Megan tells him about how to deal with the marriage problems, as Megan is a divorcée.

''The Great Seer'' begins during the reign of King Gongmin (Ryu Tae-joon). But despite being about seers, geomancers, divinators and the like, this drama is less about the fantasy and more about the political movers and shakers — people who had the power to advise, and therefore control, kings. Yi Seong-gye (Ji Jin-hee) is the general who led the overthrow of Goryeo and established the Joseon Dynasty, becoming its first king.

Mok Ji-sang (Ji Sung) is a gifted seer/geomancer, born with the ability to see into people's pasts and futures. There are those who believe falsely that he has dark supernatural powers, thinking him possessed by ghosts. When he comes of age in the late Goryeo era, he becomes a scholar of divination, and a reader of geography, faces, and the like to tell fortunes — an area with much influence at the time. He eventually becomes a "king-maker," who holds the key to a major political shift in the overthrow of Goryeo and the rise of Joseon when he backs General Yi and effectively shapes the future of Korea as we know it.

Lee Jung-geun (Song Chang-eui) is General Yi's other advisor and Ji-sang's rival. Hae-in (Kim So-yeon) is a healer whose destiny is tied to General Yi, but she falls in love with the seer. Ban-ya (Lee Yoon-ji) is a woman who was sold off as a gisaeng at a young age, but becomes a concubine to King Gongmin's advisor, and bears a son. King Gongmin takes in that son as his, and the boy becomes Woo of Goryeo (Lee Tae-ri) — the king that General Yi dethrones in a coup d'état.

Jim Coates, the boys' father, gathers up some neighboring men to go in search of them, which includes Lisbeth's somewhat overbearing grandfather, Bud Searcy. Travis manages to escape and is found by the search party (partly thanks to Sam's keen sense of smell), and they rescue Arliss and Lisbeth days later.

As they turn around and pass by the shack, Brooke throws a bucket of wet mud at them, causing him to lose control of his motorcycle, and both are killed when they are impaled on nearby fenceposts.

Eighteen years later, Brooke lives alone in her childhood home, and is haunted by the deaths she caused as a child, which are now considered unsolved murders. Brooke works as a domineering and neurotic high school biology teacher who is unliked by her students. One of them, senior Dickens, is particularly antagonistic toward Brooke, and when he taunts and humiliates her during an exam, she slaps him in the face. Dickens and his friend Jon-Jon follow Brooke home in their car, and spy through her bathroom window while she masturbates in the shower.

The next day, Jon-Jon goes to pick up his new waver classmate Queenie at her home to attend the football game, where they meet with Dickens and their prankster friend, Smiler. The four disrupt the football game by driving Dickens' car onto the field before fleeing. Dickens devises a nebulous revenge prank against Brooke, and brings his friends to the marsh where the young couple were killed eighteen years prior. There, they gather swamp mud and then approach Brooke's house, donning Halloween masks. They climb onto her roof and begin pounding their feet, and throwing mud at the windows. When Brooke steps outside, they dump a bucket of mud on her, triggering traumatic memories of the deaths she caused as a child.

The teenagers flee when Brooke's friend Mink arrives, finding Brooke in a paranoid fugue state. Mink provides Brooke with a quaalude to calm her nerves. After she leaves, Dickens enters the house and finds Brooke nearly incoherent. When Dickens attempts to sexually assault Brooke, Jon-Jon, Queenie, and Smiler attempt to stop him. A fight ensues, during which Brooke leaps from her bed and jumps through a second-story window. Assuming Brooke to be dead, Dickens sends Jon-Jon to the local diner to steal a belonging from one of the school's football players, which they can leave behind in Brooke's house, framing the football players for her murder. Jon-Jon slashes the quarterback's tires and steals a jersey from his car. The quarterback and his teammate chase after Jon-Jon on a motorcycle, but lose control and crash.

Meanwhile, Queenie angrily leaves the house. Outside, she finds Brooke crying in the woods. Queenie approaches Brooke, relieved to see that she is alive, only for Brooke to bludgeon her to death with a rock. When Jon-Jon goes to investigate, Brooke also bludgeons him, rendering him unconscious. Brooke returns inside the house, where she stabs Smiler through the temple with a pencil, killing him. When Dickens goes to help him, Brooke lunges down the staircase with a butcher knife, and stabs Dickens in the chest. Jon-Jon regains consciousness and returns inside the house, where he finds an injured Dickens bound to a wall, where Brooke is preparing to perform a live autopsy on him. Jon-Jon incapacitates Brooke and frees Dickens, but she soon awakens. Armed with the butcher knife, Dickens leaps on top of her, and is impaled with a firepoker she is wielding; Brooke's throat is slashed in the process. Jon-Jon leaves the quarterback's jersey in the house, and returns home and hides in his bedroom.

At school the following day, police arrive when Brooke fails to appear. They enter the biology class, overseen by a substitute teacher, and swiftly arrest the school quarterback. Jon-Jon is momentarily relieved, until he hallucinates that Brooke is the substitute teacher.

While plowing his field, a poor farmer, played by Parviz Sayyad, accidentally uncovers an ancient burial chamber loaded with gold artifacts. Realizing that the trove would somehow liberate him from his bumpkin existence, he brings pieces of it to a jeweler in the city. The jeweler, suspecting that the treasure is stolen, sells the pieces to a master fence. In the city the farmer is dazzled by department-store glitter, and he spends his subterranean riches on kitchen appliances, velvet furniture, and lawn statuary. These purchases reach his isolated village by caravan. The man's sudden wealth does not go unnoticed, and his treasure becomes the inevitable quarry of the jeweler's wife, the master fence, the owner of a coffeehouse near his village, and a gendarme on the trail of drug smugglers. The jeweler's wife convinces the farmer that he needs a new wife to go with his new existence and marries him to her virgin servant girl. He also acquires an educated ally to help him spend his wealth. A young Literacy Corps teacher, acting as his lieutenant, conducts public-works projects in the village, commissions an ultramodern home for his patron and hires a painter to paint a wedding portrait of the farmer and his modern bride. The man's dreams of wealth and happiness end when the seismic hand of progress destroys his new home and reburies the treasure.

Act One

Bartender and ex-baseball player Sam Malone (Ted Danson) from ''Cheers'' arrives in Seattle to see his psychiatrist friend Frasier Crane at the KACL-FM radio station, and then Frasier becomes so happy and overjoyed by his old friend's arrival that he almost ruins the segment of his show. According to Sam, after the 1993 ''Cheers'' finale, "One for the Road," the characters' lives have radically changed since Frasier left Boston. Former bar manager of Cheers, Rebecca Howe, was dumped by her plumber husband Don Santry, who became rich after a successful plumbing invention, and then she became despondent and settled her life back at the bar without intent to work there again. After his term at Congress was over, Woody Boyd became a bartender again and he and his wife, Kelly Gaines-Boyd, have a son who against all odds is smart. Bar regular and postman Cliff Clavin still lives with his mother, stopped attending the bar, and has not left home after he read information about a flesh-eating bacteria.

"Martin Rises from the Dead"

Then Frasier brings Sam home for dinner and introduces him to his family: his father Martin (John Mahoney) who is an ex-cop and a baseball fan of Sam Malone, his brother Niles (David Hyde Pierce) who is also a psychiatrist, and his housekeeper Daphne Moon (Jane Leeves). During the family introduction, Sam explains that, as mentioned in ''Cheers'', Frasier's father was supposed to be a dead scientist and that Frasier is supposed to be the only child, much to the dismay of Frasier's family. Frasier explains the inconsistency, indicating that he had had an ugly argument with Martin at the time, which motivated him into making up the "dead scientist father" story.

Daphne is charmed when Sam flirts with her, which enrages Niles. Frasier tells Niles that Sam has a sexual addiction and assures Niles that Sam still attends group meetings for sex addicts, recommended by Frasier in the ''Cheers'' episode "The Guy Can't Help It" (1993).

After the family gathering, Frasier and Sam are alone in the living room. Sam tells Frasier that he left his fiancée Sheila, with whom Sam has had a relationship for six months, at the wedding altar the previous day. Frasier assures Sam that he has wedding jitters and that he is ready to leave his old empty sex life behind in favor of a committed relationship. Frasier advises him to continue this relationship and to be always honest to her, especially about leaving her at the altar.

"A Dirty Little Secret"

At the café, Sam introduces his fiancée Sheila (Téa Leoni) to Frasier, who is horrified to recognized her as a woman he slept with three months ago. Then Frasier goes to the hotel room, where she and Sam are staying. Sheila explains that she is also a sex addict, like Sam, and that Sam and she met for the first time at a group meeting. Frasier begs her not to tell Sam about their short-time affair. Suddenly, Sam arrives into the room and then, in order to be honest to her, confesses to Sheila that, on the day of their engagement, Sam slept with another woman twice. Then Sheila confesses that she slept with two regular patrons: Paul ("short, bald, fat") and then Cliff Clavin. Though he forgives her dalliance with Paul, Sam is disgusted to learn about Cliff and breaks off his relationship with Sheila. (When she turns to Frasier for help, he is equally disgusted about Cliff.)

At Frasier's car, Sam, to Frasier's relief, still does not find out about Frasier's fling with Sheila, yet Sam is still bothered that she and Cliff had a fling, and is relieved to go back to Boston. Frasier assures Sam that Sam has proven himself to be competent for a "meaningful" committed relationship, even if Sheila is "not the one." However, Sam considers pursuing a cocktail waitress at an airport bar, disappointing Frasier.

In 1962 in Allerton, Texas, young Amanda Post awakens in the middle of the night to her mother, Rita's, dying screams, as she is stabbed to death by an unseen assailant. Amanda is confronted by the killer upon finding her mother's corpse in bed, but the murderer lets Amanda go.

Thirteen years later, Amanda receives a phone call notifying her that her grandmother Harriet is on her deathbed. She returns to Allerton for the first time since her mother's murder, arriving at her grandmother's large home. There, she is met by Dr. Crawther, as well as Judge Stemple and museum owner Claude Kern, the latter of whom is hoping to acquire Amanda's grandmother's historical home after her death. Amanda wishes to have her grandmother admitted to a hospital, but Dr. Crawther explains to do so would go against her grandmother's wishes. That afternoon, in private conversation with Claude, Stemple alludes to knowing that Claude murdered Amanda's mother years prior. Later that evening, after Amanda receives several anonymous lewd phone calls, she has her doctor friend Nick come to examine her grandmother. Nick suspects that the medication Crawther administered her grandmother has kept her sedated. While Amanda sleeps, she is awoken by the feeling of someone touching her, but Nick dismisses it as a bad dream.

At his invitation, Amanda goes to visit Claude at the local historical society museum, where he shows her a mannequin he has styled to appear as her mother. Angered and disturbed, Amanda storms out of the museum. It soon becomes clear to Amanda that Claude and Stemple are vying for her grandmother's home after Stemple offers Amanda a lump sum for it, which she angrily denies. Stemple is persistent, telling her he will return that night after she reconsiders. Meanwhile, Crawther is summoned to meet Stemple at the historical society. Upon arriving, he is bludgeoned to death by Claude, who is cross-dressed as one of the doll-like mannequins on display in the museum.

After, Claude—who, unbeknownst to Amanda, has been responsible for the anonymous calls—phones Amanda's grandmother's house again. He makes disturbing threats during the call and alludes to her mother's murder. Shortly after, Amanda is met outside by Annie, a local woman who made the original call summoning Amanda back to Allerton. The phone rings again, and Amanda rushes back inside to receive the call; this time, Claude demands that Amanda masturbate while on the line, while he caresses a doll. Amanda soon hangs up, and calls Nick at the hospital for help, but he tells her is busy and urges her to go to sleep. Shortly after, Amanda unknowingly drinks from drugged a glass of water. As Amanda loses consciousness, Stemple returns to the house, but is bludgeoned by Claude, hiding in the home's foyer.

Amanda awakens some time later, and finds what she presumes to be Nick sleeping in the guest bedroom, only to find it is a mannequin. She also discovers a photo of Crawther's bloodied corpse pinned on the wall in the kitchen. When Amanda attempts to use the phone, she is met by Claude on the line, who continues to make threats and comment on her clothing. Amanda realizes the call is coming from in the house. Moments later, she is confronted by Stemple, who has also regained consciousness; she assumes him responsible until the phone rings again. Stemple goes upstairs to investigate, but is stabbed to death. Nick subsequently arrives, and finds Amanda in a paranoid state. He chases her into the attic, where she pushes him over a bannister to his death. In a daze, she returns downstairs, where the phone rings again. Amanda, driven mad, laughs hysterically.

When wealthy Arthur Patterson (Donald Moffat) finds out that he is dying, he tries to make peace with his past. He looks back to his World War II years, when he was a soldier in France. There, he met a poor French girl, Solange Bertrand (Kim Thomson), whom he fell in love with. Solange married his good friend Sam (Bruce Abbott), though, and they settled in New York City after the War, where Sam worked as an actor on Broadway. Solange gave birth to three girls, who were all separated after the tragic deaths of their parents. Arthur is determined to reunite the girls, with the help of private detective John Chapman (Perry King). John warns the old man for a disappointing outcome, but Arthur remains determined to correct the past.

First, John contacts the oldest sister, who was eight when her parents died. Hilary Walker (Jaclyn Smith), now working as the head of a big Manhattan firm, initially denies having any acquaintance with Mr. Patterson, and claims that she has lived in Manhattan all of her life. Through her assistant Paula (Penny Johnson Jerald), John finds out that Hilary lied to him about her past, and confronts her with the facts. Hilary angrily explains that she is still trying to bury her past, and has no interest in reliving it. She eventually reveals that she was severely abused by her aunt and uncle, who she and her sisters lived with after her parents died. Her sisters were soon adopted by other people, but Hilary stayed behind with her abusive family, because most people had no interest in adopting her due to her age. When she was eighteen, she got away and tried to contact Mr. Patterson, but he refused to see her.

Second, John meets the middle daughter, Alexandra (Patricia Kalember), who was adopted by Margaret (Colleen Dewhurst), and currently resides in South Carolina as the wife of Senator Henry (Terry O'Quinn). She has a rich social life and two lovely daughters, though feels that her husband treats her more as a servant than as a loving wife. When John arrives in town, he first speaks to Margaret, through whom he learns that Alexandra is not aware that she is adopted. Margaret tries to prevent John from telling Alexandra the truth, but realizing that she cannot, she decides to tell her daughter the truth herself. Alexandra assures Margaret that she still sees her as her real mother, though blames her that she never informed her about having two sisters. Henry feels that the situation could cause a scandal and ruin his political career. Despite his objection, Alexandra eagerly agrees to meet her sisters and Mr. Chapman at his Connecticut mansion.

Third, John travels to San Francisco to meet with the youngest daughter Meagan (Claudia Christian), who is now working as a doctor. She and her husband have been trying for ages to get pregnant, though she has suffered several miscarriages. Her husband (Robert Bidaman) feels that their love life has now become a tight schedule, and he is frustrated that Meagan will not consider adopting. Meagan, who has known that she is adopted from the very first minute, is surprised with John's visit, but quickly agrees to travel with him to Connecticut. Back on the East Coast, John still has trouble convincing Hilary to meet with her sisters. Due to his constant visits to her office and home, they fall in love. Because of John, Hilary becomes the third sister to agree to travel to Connecticut.

At Patterson's mansion, the three women are happily reunited, and they have dinner with Chapman. Hilary, who feels the whole get-together is a charade, publicly blames Patterson for the death of her parents. She then goes on to explain that she witnessed her father strangling her mother to death, after she had admitted that she has been in love with Patterson for years, and was certain that Meagan is his child. Hilary then leaves the scene in tears. Patterson assures Meagan that he never knew that he was her father, and she calmly tries to process the information. Meagan decides to stay at his death bed, and before he dies, he apologizes for not being in her life. Hilary initially refuses to attend the funeral, but, as a gesture for accepting her past, finally shows up, aided by her new partner John.

In 2013, a Good Guy doll called Chucky mysteriously arrives in the mail at the isolated home of paraplegic Nica Pierce and her mother Sarah. Sarah repeatedly and compulsively paints pictures of the same flowers. Later that night, Sarah is found dead from a stab wound and her death is ruled as a suicide.

Nica is visited by her sister Barb, accompanied by her husband Ian, their daughter Alice, live-in nanny Jill, and priest Father Frank. Alice finds Chucky and is allowed to keep him. That evening, while Alice and Nica are making chili for dinner, Chucky secretly pours rat poison into one of the dinner bowls. Father Frank eats the poison. After he leaves, he gets sick and ends up in a car accident that decapitates him. That night, Nica wonders where the doll came from and investigates Chucky on the internet; she finds news articles about the murders tied to both the doll and Charles Lee Ray.

Elsewhere, Chucky comes to life and electrocutes Jill, causing a blackout. Searching for Alice, Barb goes to the attic clutching Chucky and finds Sarah's large collection of paintings of the same flower. She finds a knife inside Chucky's shirt and peels some of Chucky's now-loose plastic skin, revealing the stitches created by his ex-girlfriend Tiffany hidden underneath. Chucky springs to life and stabs her in the eye. Nica hears Barb's scream and crawls up the stairs, discovering her body and the doll alive. When Chucky flees, Nica wakes Ian up in a panic, who is unable to find Alice. He disarms Nica, believing her to be responsible for the murders.

Nica tries to explain that Chucky is alive, but Chucky acts lifeless. Ian decides to review the footage from a nanny cam that he planted on Chucky earlier (to get evidence of Barb's suspected sexual affair with Jill) and learns that Alice is locked in a closet and that Chucky truly is alive. Exposed, Chucky kills Ian by chopping off his lower jaw with a hatchet. Nica manages to break out of her restraints and avoids the hatchet by blocking it with her numb legs. It gets stuck, allowing Nica to grab it and behead Chucky. As Nica covers her wound, Chucky reattaches his head and pushes Nica off the balcony onto the ground floor.

When Nica asks why Chucky is doing this, he explains through flashbacks that as Charles Lee Ray, he was a friend of her family and obsessed with Sarah. Ray killed Nica's father and kidnapped Sarah while she was pregnant with Nica. Charles brought dozens of flowers to the captive Sarah—the same sort of flowers that Sarah compulsively painted. When Sarah betrayed him, he stabbed her in the stomach (which resulted in Nica being born paraplegic) and escaped. Ray's escape from the police ultimately led to his death as a human, which is why he came back to Sarah for revenge. Nica, after stalling by taunting him about his inability to kill former target Andy Barclay, manages to retreat into her home elevator, disarm Chucky and plunge the knife into his back. Chucky remains motionless for a while before springing back to life.

Officer Stanton, the same officer who found Father Frank's body, arrives at the house and sees Barb's body. Nica holds a bloody knife alone in the elevator while Chucky sits motionless in the corner of the room. Sometime later, Nica is blamed for the murders and sent to a mental asylum. Chucky is retained by Stanton after being used as an exhibit at her trial. Stanton is ambushed and killed by Tiffany, still in Jennifer Tilly's body. She collects Chucky and later goes to a packaging center to ship him off to a new victim. Meanwhile, Alice, now living with her grandmother, comes home from school to find Chucky waiting for her. Chucky starts the voodoo chant to transfer his soul into Alice's body, while in the next room, her grandmother suddenly sits up, with a bag over her head. As she gasps for air, the screen goes black.

In a post-credits scene set six months later, Chucky, still in his doll body, is delivered to Andy, now an adult. When Andy turns his back to answer a phone call from his mother, Chucky cuts his way out of the package with a knife. Chucky looks around the house, only to have Andy shoot him with a shotgun.

In a closed drugstore at midnight, the characters from all of the books and magazines are coming to life.

At the beginning of the film, "Bob Boins" (Bob Burns) introduces Ted Lewis (who according to Boins was once called "Uncle Fudd" back at Van Beuren) who is seen playing ''Plenty of Money and You'', which segues into a caricature of orchestra conductor Leopold Stokowski leading the ''Storm'' movement from the ''William Tell Overture''. After this, the title song is sung by a girl trio caricaturing the Boswell Sisters on the cover of ''Radioland'' magazine; all the while, Hugh Herbert is seen repeatedly smiling and adjusting his necktie. A bullish criminal on the cover of ''The Gang Magazine'', distracted at the sound of the sisters' performance, sneaks about and decides to use a blowtorch from the cover of ''Popular Mechanics'' to break into a safe on the cover of ''The Magazine of Wall Street''. He is discovered by detective "Cholly Jam" (Charlie Chan), and after explaining himself to the police on the cover of ''True Confessions'', he is tried, and sentenced to ''Life''. However, he decides to escape through the cover of ''Liberty''; but his escape does not go unnoticed when he is reported by the columnist and radio personality Walter Winchell (here caricatured as "Walter Snitchall"), which then leads to a wide variety of characters, including police officers, Boy Scouts, Tarzan, wild animals, and native Zulu tribesmen, joining the chase. ''The Thin Man'' (a caricature of William Powell, who received an Academy Award nomination for playing the starring role in the film) uses Asta from the cover of ''Dog World'' to detect the criminal on the cover of ''Better Babies'', and the criminal gives chase on the carriage, only to be assailed by everyone from Navy battleships to Greta Garbo and even Saint Nicholas. He ultimately ends up imprisoned in the bars on the cover of ''Twenty Thousand Years in Sing Sing'', and when Herbert laughs, the criminal uses a globe from the cover of a ''World Almanac'' to hit him in the head. At iris-out, it turns out he has stolen Herbert's laugh himself.

Around the same time that a popular mob hero named Barabbas is arrested and convicted by Pontius Pilate and his lieutenant governor/aide Tullius, Jesus of Nazareth arrives in Jerusalem in time for the celebration of the Passover/Seder. The High Priest Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin, who oppose and find Jesus to be a menace and danger to their traditions, scarcely bargain with Pilate on how to detain Jesus. This ideas initially goes well with Pilate since he fears a riot from a mob clamoring for Barabbas release. When Jesus is finally condemned by the Sanhedrin and handed over to Pilate, he uses him as a decoy or alternative to please the Jerusalem populace by acquitting Barabbas and sentencing Jesus to be crucified in his place.

Whitney Brown (Sammi Hanratty), a privileged and popular Philadelphia teenager, nominates herself and her best friend, Lindsay, for class president (which they win because they promised to throw the best school formal). Her mother, Joan (Brooke Shields), then gives her a credit card so she can buy a dress for the formal. After Whitney does a great deal of shopping, Joan's credit card is eventually declined. Later, they see on television that the office where Whitney's father, Henry (Aidan Quinn), works has declared bankruptcy. This means her father is now unemployed and her family will be destitute. The bank repossesses everything they have and Whitney's world becomes upended.

Her family has to move to Whitney's grandparents' old farm in the country. There, far from her dizzying world of shallow girlfriends, endless parties, and school pressures, she finds a new best pal: Bob, a beautiful and spirited Gypsy (Vanner) horse belonging to her new neighbor. The neighbor, Dusty (Kris Kristofferson), is a crusty rancher who turns out to be her estranged grandfather. Through her new relationships with Bob, Dusty, and her parents, Whitney rediscovers what it means to respect not only nature and her family, but also someone very special she had almost lost touch with: herself. At her new school, she feels like a fish out of water, having no contact with her old friends for months. She has to accept the way things are now or do something about it.

Itsuki Noya is a new student at Ebisugawa High School who joins his school's astronomy club only to discover that its club room is in the basement for some reason. What he finds inside is that the club is filled with weirdos who all happen to be girls.

Felix is a hungry cat in the city, looking for food remnants in a trash bin. Finding nothing inside, he heads toward a nearby apartment building. To his amazement, he finds roast chicken hanging next to an upper window. To reach it, he sneaks into a musician's tuba which then propels him upward. Felix gets his hands on the meat, only to have himself grabbed and thrown back down by a resident.

Felix is walking in an open field, still wondering how to obtain some food. Suddenly spotting Father Time standing by, Felix asks the old time master to put him in a period that may do well for him, just for a day. Father Time at first declines, but agrees when Felix offers a silver dollar. The time wizard brings out a wand and grants Felix his wish.

Father Time sends him into prehistory, where cavemen and dinosaurs were common. Looking for something to eat, Felix picks up a large bone, only to be chased by a giant lizard.

After outrunning another dinosaur, Felix finds himself in front of a pre-historic tailor shop. Inside the shop, a caveman is looking for a suitable garment but appears uninterested in the few clothes the tailor shows him. The tailor steps outside and notices Felix. Finding the cat's pelt as a good material, the tailor lures him into the shop, where a frenzy happens. The caveman then emerges wearing a black garment with a long tail on it, and Felix shows up almost entirely bones from foot to neck. The caveman removes the outfit to go for a swim in the lake. Felix uses this opportunity to get back his pelt. He continues wandering until he comes across a mastodon.

Father Time has been napping on the ground until his alarm clock rings. He wakes and finds it is time to return Felix to the present. Felix is still having trouble with the mastodon but the time wizard's magic finally takes effect and Felix is at last sent back to his own period. Though he has to return to searching trash cans again, he figures it is better than his experience of the pre-historic era.

The plot follows Joey, an American expatriate in and around Place Clichy. The book is divided in two parts. In the first, Joey and his equally destitute roommate Carl search for food and navigate relationships with various women. Chiefly, Joey with Nys, a prostitute he meets at the Café Wepler near Montmartre, and Carl with Colette, a fifteen-year-old runaway who moves in with them before eventually being retrieved by her parents.

The second half, “Mara-Marignon,” describes Carl's volatile love affair with the married Eliane, and Joey's relationship with Mara, a prostitute he meets on the Champs-Élysées. Mara reminds Joey of a previous lover, the married Christine, whom he regrets not marrying himself. This leads to a recollection of an evening he and Carl spent at their home with an acrobat named Corinne and a Danish woman named Christine. The four of them have a spontaneous orgy, which upsets Christine, who is laughed at by the other three.

After shooting up heroin, a woman commits suicide. Clips show the history of the Exeter School of the Feeble Minded. These document its abuses toward its patients, demise, and eventual abandonment. Years later, Patrick volunteers to help Father Conway renovate the site. Conway, who is disappointed that Patrick has not applied for college, believes that God has a special plan for him. After talking to local junk man Greer, Conway and Patrick leave for the weekend.

When Patrick's friends discover the site will be unsupervised for the weekend, they organize a huge party there over Patrick's objections. As the party winds down, seven people remain: Patrick, his younger brother Rory, Brian, Brad, Amber, Drew, and Reign, a girl that Patrick has met at the party. After they discuss the site's troubled history and its potential for supernatural phenomena, Amber convinces the others to attempt to levitate Rory. Amber says it worked, but the others dismiss it as a prank by Rory, who they say is attention-starved. Embarrassed that he peed his pants, Rory runs off.

When Patrick and Reign encounter Rory later, they become convinced that he is possessed, as he is speaking in tongues and viciously attacking anyone who approaches him. After restraining him, Reign convinces Patrick to call Father Conway for help. The others react angrily, as they have been ingesting a variety of illegal drugs. As they argue, Greer returns and threatens to call the cops unless Amber has sex with him. Greer hears a sound from upstairs and investigates, only to be killed by Rory. Brian and Amber panic, and as they flee Exeter, they accidentally strike Father Conway with their car, apparently killing him. The car does not make it off the grounds.

As the teens debate what to do next, Exeter's security system locks them in. Having two dead bodies and a pile of drugs, the teens agree to resolve the situation themselves. Using their cell phones, they find a do-it-yourself exorcism guide and perform it on Rory. Although it initially seems to have succeeded, Rory reverts to his possessed self. Looking for clues to help them, Reign and Patrick discover video tapes of a troubled teen at Exeter, Devon, who is apparently Conway's child. A message written in blood on one of the ceilings demands that the teens speak to the entity, so they carve out a Ouija board.

Part One: Bravedog

Keeva, a blue greyhound, gives birth to four pups. There are three girls and one boy; she names the girls Eena, Nessa, and Brid, and names the boy Furgul. They are raised to believe that they are pure greyhounds, but as they get older, Keeva tells Furgul that he must run, because he is really a lurcher, and because of how fast he is growing, Dedbone is going to find out and kill him. Keeva also tells him that he must find his father, Argal. Furgul promises to come back and save Keeva.

When it is the first day in racing season, Keeva is supposed to be placed in a cardboard box to go off to the racetrack. She plans to run away before her leash can be put on, giving the dogs time to jump into another, empty cardboard box and go to the racetrack, where they can escape. However, the Gambler finds them and furthermore notices that they are not greyhounds. Dedbone goes and gets his shotgun, and while he does, Furgul manages to help Brid escape. The other three are still in the box, and Dedbone shoots multiple times until Furgul manages to tip the box enough to fall out of the truck.

Eena dies immediately of her shotgun wounds, but Furgul was only hit in the leg and Nessa still manages to survive. Nessa and Furgul go to a cavern, and Furgul hunts for them. They plan to survive in the mountain, but a day later Nessa dies of her wounds, leaving Furgul alone. He feels her spirit leave and imagines that now she will help all spirits find their way in the mountains. He then leaves the mountain to follow the river, where he meets Gerry, who takes him home. After a bit of nagging from his wife Harriet, Gerry manages to convince her to keep Furgul, who meets up with Kinnear, a bulldog.

Part Two: The Dog Who Runs in Darkness

Furgul learns from Kinnear all of the rules of the household, which he disapproves of. He plans to escape. One day, Gerry and Harriet take Furgul to the dog park. There he meets Samantha, a pitch-black German Shepherd that shares his interests. They play-fight, but the owners don't understand and think that they are attacking each other, so they pull the dogs away from each other. Before they are taken away, Furgul learns that Samantha's real name is Dervla.

After the incident at the park, Gerry and Harriet don't want anything like that to happen again, so they decide that it's time for Furgul to get neutered. When Kinnear tells him what neutering really is, Furgul knows that he cannot let that happen and plans even more intently to escape. When they finally take him to the veterinarian's office, he bolts as soon as they take off his collar and doesn't look back.

Out on the streets he meets Pace, a Labrador Retriever and seeing-eye dog with an overwhelming sense of sarcasm. Pace tells him to go through the mall, but watch out for the guards. While there, he also meets eight miniature female dogs who fall madly in love with him and chase him through the mall. The chaos confuses the guards, though, and gives him the opportunity to escape.

As soon as he exits the mall, he gets captured by "The Traps", or the dogcatchers. While in the truck on the way to the animal shelter, he meets Zinni the papillon, Tess the beagle, and Skyver the mutt. The truck stops once again to get another dog, who turns out to be his father Argal. There, he learns that unlike the others, Argal isn't going to be given his five days in the shelter. He has been labelled a dangerous dog and is going to be killed as soon as they get to the shelter.

While at the shelter, Furgul meets with Brennus, a Saint Bernard who taught Argal what he knows. Before Argal is killed, they give him some time with Furgul and with Brennus. While there, Furgul is told about how the mysterious Doglands are inside of you, and that his spirit will always be with them, and you just have to feel it. Then he is taken away, and Furgul becomes the new shelter leader, being Argal's son. So angered by the death of his father, Furgul decides to have a revolt. All the cage doors are opened and the dogs break free, refusing to go anywhere until their demands are met.

During the revolt, Furgul meets with Jodi, a dog whisperer, who offers that all the dogs in the revolt come live at Appletree Dog Sanctuary instead of going back. What makes Furgul agree is that she says he will be killed when they go back because he will be labelled a dangerous dog like his father. They all live at Appletree for a while until Furgul hears a whimpering pup. When he goes to help the pup, he gets captured by two thieves, Tattoo and Spotty, and finds out that the pup was only hurt for the sake of the trap and didn't know any better. He gets labelled "dogmeat" and is fed to Gremlin, Lunk, Freak, and Chopper. Dervla comes out of the shadows and kills them. Seeing the dogs dead, Tattoo and Spotty put him with Dervla, where she tells him their job is to distract guard dogs while the two humans go burglarising. At the first house, Furgul meets with two giant schnauzers named Cogg and Baz and convinces them to attack Tattoo and Spotty with the bribe of bacon. After the attack, Cogg and Baz join Furgul and the others.

Dervla, Cogg, and Baz come to live at Appletree, and peace is retained for a short amount of time. Then Furgul expresses his desire to save his mother Keeva, and Jodi says that she will look up the racing greyhounds on the betting page of the papers. Dedbone is not listed because that was just the dog's name for him, so Jodi asks racing names until something rings a bell. Furgul remembers his mother telling him her racing name, but he just can't remember. Eventually he remembers that it's "Sapphire Breeze", and he and all the dogs go to the racetrack.

Part Three: The Dog Bunch

While on the racetrack, Keeva is in the lead and has only a few steps to go before she would win, but then the spirit of Argal washes over the racetrack and she begins to dance with glee at feeling it. Soon all of the other dogs begin to dance and none of them finish the race. Afterward, Dedbone prepares to kill Keeva for her "little act" on the track.

A plan is formulated to save Keeva, but when Furgul sees all the other greyhounds shut in Dedbone's Hole, he figures that he must save them all. Then he finds out that Tic and Tac, the bullmastiffs in Dedbone's Hole, have pups. Zinni has experience walking on wires, so she agitates the greyhounds enough with her presence for Dedbone to open the gates to see what the matter is. Then, the greyhounds charge and the battle begins.

Cogg and Baz, now aware of their newfound abilities in killing, kill all five of Tic and Tac's pups, and then Tic and Tac are killed themselves by other dogs. Furgul sees Dedbone driving away with Keeva in the back of the truck and races after her. Brennus sacrifices himself to save Keeva, getting shot attacking Dedbone and then lying injured until the truck runs him over, finally killing him. Right before he dies, Brennus tells Furgul to run "The Doglines", the places where the ancestors of the dogs walked. Then Skyver lunges at Dedbone, knocking him back enough for him to tip over the side of the chasm and die there.

Weaver contemplates kicking Pope and his men out, but Tom insists that he be made part of Pope's "Berserker" group and put under Pope's command to keep an eye on him.

They kill two of them but the third one exerts some influence over Ben and paralyzes him, causing his spikes to glow blue. Jimmy attacks the alien, and is thrown against a tree. The alien runs off and Ben snaps out of his daze, and finds that Jimmy was impaled on a branch. He brings Jimmy back to the airfield where Anne does her best to save him. Weaver and Tom find out that Ben was deliberately seeking out aliens to kill as revenge for kidnapping him. Pope, Tom and the Berserkers head out to the spot where Jimmy was hurt and find his compass and encounter a group of aliens collecting the bodies of their dead. Pope orders them to attack but Tom countermands the order; shortly thereafter a mech arrives and escorts the aliens away. At the airfield, a plane arrives carrying a messenger from Charleston, who advises the 2nd Mass, that several groups of survivors as well as remnants of the U.S. government are massing in Charleston and have access to supplies and hot water. Weaver believes their best chance for survival is to head into the Catskill Mountains, while Tom believes that Charleston is the best option for staying in the fight as hiding in the mountains would be tantamount to surrendering.

Despite Anne's best efforts, Jimmy dies of his wounds. Tom, when reminding the Berserkers of their impending move, notices that Pope has Jimmy's compass. Tom demands he return it, and Pope refuses and calls Jimmy's funeral "an empty gesture". Tom attacks Pope and savagely beats him before being restrained. Weaver sides with Tom, believing Pope was out of line. Pope decides to leave 2nd Mass and only Anthony leaves with him, more out of a desire to keep an eye on Pope than anything.

Ben is found still at Jimmy's grave, when suddenly, the skitter who previously exerted control on Ben reappears. The skitter controls him for a few seconds again, and seems to communicate with him. The skitter then breaks off and runs when it hears Hal's motorcycle approaching. Hal retrieves Ben and they head back, and Ben withholds the events that just transpired.

Part One

Two mysterious figures are talking to each other with one wanting to know everything the other one knows.

In the past, Ursa accepts a marriage proposal from her boyfriend Ikem, then a member of an acting troupe in the Fire Nation town of Hira'a. Shortly after receiving the proposal, however, she is forcibly engaged to Ozai, then a Fire Prince. Ikem attempts to stop Ursa leaving, but she lies about willingly accepting Ozai's proposal in order to prevent Ozai from killing him. During the wedding, Ozai forbids Ursa from contacting her old family or her past acquaintances.

In the present, Zuko has Azula brought to Ozai's cell in the hope of encouraging them to talk to one another. Azula, now completely insane, believes that Ursa has been actively working to bring her down, and is responsible for all the events that led to her defeat. Acting on information from Ozai, Azula escapes custody and lets Zuko chase her to one of Ozai's secret chambers in the royal palace, where she burns a number of letters that Ursa had written. Azula offers to tell Zuko what was written in the letters, on the condition that he lets her accompany him on his search for Ursa. Zuko reluctantly complies, and convinces Aang, Katara and Sokka to travel with him, in order to keep Azula in line. The group travel to Hira'a.

Near the end of the journey, Azula attempts to flee the group, but experiences a hallucination of her mother. She tells the hallucination that thanks to Ozai, she has evidence that she can use to overthrow Zuko and become Fire Lord in his place, and intends to kill Ursa to prevent her interference. After she is restrained by Katara, the group is attacked by a giant wolf spirit. With the spirit overwhelming them, Azula convinces Zuko to free her, and lures it away with her lightning generation. That night, Zuko discovers that Azula's evidence is a letter from Ursa to Ikem, which claims that he is in fact Ikem's son. In the past, it is shown that Ozai had intercepted the letter after Ursa attempted to send it to Ikem.

Part Two

In the past, Ozai hires a Yuyan Archer named Vachir to kill Ikem. Returning to Ozai several months later after failing to complete his mission, Vachir tells him that Ikem fled into a nearby forest known for its violent plant and animal life, and is likely dead as a result. Confronting Ursa over both her communication with Ikem and her infidelity, Ozai states that he will allow Zuko to live despite his heritage, but claims to have had Ikem killed, much to Ursa's horror.

In the present day, Azula discovers the disappearance of the letter and attacks Zuko, believing that Ursa told him to steal the letter from her. The two siblings fight until Azula realizes that, despite having the letter in his possession, Zuko hasn't taken the opportunity to destroy it. Zuko allows his sister to keep the letter. Entering Hira'a to ask for information on Ursa, Zuko and the others meet Noren and his wife Noriko, two members of the acting troupe that Ikem and Ursa were once part of. The couple say that following Ursa's engagement to Ozai, Ikem headed into Forgetful Valley, a forest in a canyon that heartbroken people supposedly travel to in order to forget their pasts and that when Ursa returned to Hira'a few years later, she travelled into Forgetful Valley as well. Noren and Noriko claim that no one who has entered the valley has returned. Aang advises Zuko to forget about Ikem and destroy Ursa's letter, not wanting Zuko to lose his position as Fire Lord because of the new era he represents, but Zuko decides to travel to Forgetful Valley regardless.

In a second flashback, Ursa learnt from Azula that Ozai's father, Fire Lord Azulon, had ordered his son to kill Zuko as punishment for Ozai asking to be made heir to the throne, following the death of Iroh's son in the siege of Ba Sing Se. Discovering Ozai compliant with Azulon's demand, Ursa offered to provide him with an untraceable poison which he could use to kill Azulon and become Fire Lord in his place. Ozai agreed, on the condition that Ursa would leave the city and never return, no longer trusting her not to poison him. As a second condition, Ozai forced Ursa to leave Azula and Zuko behind in order to use them as collateral against her.

Travelling to Forgetful Valley in the present, the group encounter Misu and Rafa, siblings from the Northern Water Tribe. Misu explains that they are trying to find a spirit with the power to give people new faces, in order to heal an undisclosed disfigurement of Rafa's. Learning that the spirit appears at one of four pools of water selected by the wolf spirit that had attacked the group earlier, Aang manages to find her, discovering that she is known as The Mother of Faces. Azula attacks Misu and Rafa, believing that Ursa has sent them to slow her down.

Part Three

In the past, Ursa returns to Hira'a and meets Noren, who reveals himself to be Ikem. Ikem explains that he had disappeared into Forgetful Valley after becoming unable to live with the sorrowful treatment he received from all the townspeople as a result of Ursa's disappearance. While there, he encountered the Mother of Faces, who gave him the face of Noren, allowing him to return to Hira'a and live there in the anonymity that he desired. He offers to take Ursa to receive a new face.

In the present, Azula battles with the rest of the group before Aang rejoins them, having convinced the Mother of Faces to travel to the pool at which the group is assembled, rather than the one selected by the wolf. The spirit agrees to grant one request from the group before disappearing for the rest of the season. Zuko intends to let Misu ask the Mother of Faces to help Rafa, but before he can do so, Azula demands that the spirit reveal where Ursa is. The Mother of Faces says that Ursa had visited her years ago to receive a new face, which she reveals to be that of Noriko. Realizing that Noriko is really Ursa, Azula leaves to kill her, with Zuko and Sokka following her.

Having granted her customary one request, the Mother of Faces prepares to depart, despite Misu and Aang's efforts to have her grant a second favor. Angered at their perceived ingratitude, the Mother of Faces summons the animal spirits of Forgetful Valley in an attempt to force them to leave. In the chaos, Rafa's mask is knocked off, revealing that Rafa's face was not disfigured but instead taken by Koh the Face Stealer, whom the Mother of Faces reveals to be her son. Repentant, the spirit restores Rafa's face and agrees to help Aang repair the relationship between Ursa and her children.

Having used a shortcut pointed out by Misu, Zuko and Sokka arrive at Noren and Noriko's before Azula. Zuko goes inside to see the couple, where he divulges his true identity and Ursa's. Noren acknowledges this, revealing himself to be Ikem, but Ursa does not remember Zuko. Ikem explains that the Mother of Faces had learned of Ursa's memories of her life with Ozai, including those concerning Zuko and Azula, and offered to remove them after seeing the pain they caused Ursa. With no way of liberating her children and being unwilling to live without knowing what was happening to them, Ursa agreed to the offer. Azula and Sokka then crash through the roof as they battle, and Azula then focuses her attention on Ursa, and in her psychosis accuses her mother of trying to overpower her since she was born. Noriko/Ursa apologizes, saying she must not have loved Azula enough, bringing the former princess to the edge of tears. Zuko then intervenes and fights off Azula. He states that he has accepted his destiny as Fire Lord, and that although he and Azula may never have a good relationship, she is still his sister. Unable to handle the fact that someone does love her, Azula flees towards Forgetful Valley, despite Zuko's pleas that he wants to help her, leaving the incriminating letter behind.

Aang arrives with Katara shortly after, with the Mother of Faces following close behind. When the Mother of Faces asks Ursa if she wants her memories back, Ursa agrees, and the spirit restores them as well as her original face. Though Katara also fears Azula will return, both Aang and Zuko believe that her act in leaving the letter with Zuko is the beginning of a change for the better in Azula, though Sokka vehemently disagrees. Zuko then meets with his mother, who apologizes to Zuko as well, believing that no loving mother would willingly forget her children. She also tells him that the letter was a lie: Zuko is indeed Ozai's son. Ursa wrote the letter to see if her husband was intercepting her letters to Ikem and to hurt him in response for his cruel behavior. She also explains Ozai's abuse of Zuko; upon hearing Ursa's wish that Zuko wasn't his son, Ozai told her that he would treat him as such, vindictively claiming to be simply fulfilling a mother's wish. The figures are revealed to be Zuko and Ursa and he asks her how it all began, to which she agrees, ending the story.

Armação dos Anjos, on the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro. The retired captain Jonas Rocha, a widower with six children, married the historian Carmen Maura, also a widow with six children. They will have new problems, beyond those common to a large family, when in contact with the vampires that plague the city with the arrival of the famous singer Natasha to record a music video.

Natasha, a rock singer, has sold her soul to the terrible Count Vladymir Polanski, head of the vampires, to shine in her career. But she finds that she was, in previous incarnations, Eugenia, his love, who preferred to stay with Richardson, the other life of Captain Jonas. The count goes on to pursue Natasha and family of the captain, even using his powers to engage Carmen Maura.

Natasha, in turn, wants to destroy Vlad to get rid of her curse. The only weapon she has for this is the Cross of St. Sebastian, which is hidden somewhere in Armação dos Anjos. The cross must be held by a man named "Rocha" ("Rock"). The hero is thus Captain Jonas.

In Armação dos Anjos there is also Jurandir, who is running from Cachorrão ("Big Dog"), a rich leader of criminals whose house Jurandir robbed by mistake. In the city, he hides in the robes of a priest, befriends the kids and get the nickname Padre Garotão ("Father Young Man"). The gown, however, is not a stumbling block to his mad love affair with Marina, a protégée of Cachorrão.

Meanwhile, Tonico Ladeira (Tony Ramos), Zezinho (Léo Jaime), Antonio Antonucci (Rodolfo Bottino), and the brothers Tonhão (José de Abreu), Rei (Guilherme Fontes) and Rico (Guilherme Leme), are disputing the paternity of the girl, as Ana does not know who Helena's father might be. There also is Ângela (Maria Zilda Bethlem), an efficient but repressed secretary working for Tonico who is dedicated to care for her siblings Caco (Tarcísio Filho) and Zetó (Jorge Fernando). She falls for the radio announcer, Tonhão, who she realizes is the ominous man destined to be the love of her life from her dreams.

Prequels

A prequel was released to iTunes on 1 September 2012, and to Zune and Amazon Video on 2 September 2012. In the prequel, a hooded messenger informs the Eleventh Doctor that a woman, Darla von Karlsen, requests his help for her daughter. The messenger provides space-time coordinates to the planet Skaro, home planet of the Daleks.

In addition, ''Pond Life'' is an earlier five-part mini serial prequel to this episode, which was released serially in the week leading up to the premiere. The fifth part hints at Amy and Rory's separation.

Synopsis

The Doctor, having been led into a trap by Darla, is kidnapped by the Daleks and taken to the Parliament of the Daleks. Joined by him are nearly-divorced Amy and Rory, who have been similarly kidnapped from present-day Earth. The Doctor is surprised when the Daleks ask him for help. The ''Alaska'', a starliner that crashed into a planet housing insane, battle-scarred Daleks called the Asylum, has ruptured the planet's force field, thus risking escape of the insane Daleks. To prevent this, the Parliament wishes to destroy the planet remotely, but the force field is still too strong to allow that. The Daleks task the Doctor, Amy and Rory with deactivating the force field from the planet. After arriving, the Doctor, surmising that the Daleks will destroy the planet as soon as he deactivates the force field, plots an escape via a nearby teleporter which will transport them to the Dalek ship. Oswin, a surviving crew member of the ''Alaska'', agrees to deactivate the force field in return for the Doctor coming to rescue her. Meanwhile, Rory and Amy reconcile their marriage.

The Doctor makes his way to Oswin, venturing through a section that holds Daleks who survived encounters with him. Oswin saves the Doctor from these Daleks by removing any memories of him from the Daleks' collective telepathically-shared knowledge. The Doctor enters Oswin's chamber and discovers to his horror that she is a Dalek. Oswin is revealed to have been captured by Daleks after the ''Alaska'' crashed on the Asylum and, to preserve her genius-level intellect for Dalek use, was turned into a Dalek. Unable to cope with her conversion, her mind retreated into a fantasy of survival as a human. Oswin fulfils her promise of deactivating the force field, making her final request that the Doctor remember her as the human she once was. The Doctor returns to Amy and Rory, and they teleport back to the TARDIS just as the planet is destroyed. The Daleks fail to recognise the Doctor, revealing the magnitude of Oswin's removal of the Doctor from the Dalek hive intelligence. The Doctor returns Amy and Rory home, where Rory moves back in with Amy.

Continuity

Some of the Daleks are survivors of previous encounters with the Doctor on Spiridon (''Planet of the Daleks'', 1973), Kembel (''The Daleks' Master Plan'', 1965–66), Aridius (''The Chase'', 1965), Vulcan (''The Power of the Daleks'', 1966), and Exxilon (''Death to the Daleks'', 1974). The Special Weapons Dalek, introduced in ''Remembrance of the Daleks'' (1988), appears in a cameo. In her opening speech, Darla refers to the Doctor faking his death in the 2011 episodes "The Impossible Astronaut" and "The Wedding of River Song". The concept of nanogenes – microscopic machines – is mentioned in the two-parter "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" (2005), also written by Moffat. In the closing exchange in the Parliament, the Doctor refers to one of his nicknames as "The Oncoming Storm", first mentioned in the episode "The Parting of the Ways" (2005). The final question of "Doctor who?", besides being a callback to the programme's title, is the "question that must never be answered" that Dorium asks at the end of "The Wedding of River Song".

Shun Li (Zhao Tao) has been working in a textile workshop in the outskirts of Rome for eight years to pay off her debt to the human traffickers in order to bring her son to Italy. She is suddenly transferred to Chioggia, a small island town situated in the Venetian lagoon, to work as a bartender. Bepi (Rade Šerbedžija), a fisherman of Slavic origin, nicknamed "the Poet", has been visiting the bar for years. Their meeting is a poetic escape from loneliness, a laconic dialogue between different cultures. It is a journey into the heart of a deep lagoon, known to be a mother and birthplace of identity. But the friendship between Shun Li and Bepi disturbs both communities, Chinese and Chioggia, which hinders this new journey, which perhaps is simply still too scary. They part ways but, like the ocean, are drawn back together again.

Cetto La Qualunque (Antonio Albanese) has just become mayor of Marina di Sopra (a small village in Calabria): now the corrupt and ignorant fugitive entrepreneur really wants to lead the entire town by doing nothing and relying on the support of his friends. But soon the officer Lt. Cavallaro manages to trick him and send him to prison along with his entire gang, including the funny Pino "The Stranger" (as for the inhabitants of Calabria citizens of Apulia appear as non-EU citizens). In Veneto in Northern Italy, the manufacturer Rodolfo "Olfo" Favaretto (Albanese) dreams for years to unify the Italian regions of Piedmont, Lombardia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto with a long highway to Austria. In fact, as the great secessionist that he is, Olfo wants to bring Italy in the time of eighteenth century when Austro-Hungarian Empire dominated by the entire North. One day he escort a group of criminals who deal in the most inhuman affair from his bunker in Venice to a speedboat guide for channels of the city, making them look like tourists in order to not to be stopped by the police. When Olfo arrives at his shipyard orders to illegal immigrants to get to work to build his "strap" (highway), but a black man falls from the roof of the yard and does not give any sign of life. Rodolfo, in order to have no trouble, tries to put the body in a plastic bag and throw it in the channel, but the man is not dead and reports it to the police. Frengo Stoppato (still Albanese) is a drug addict who lives happily in Brazil until a call from his mother brings him back in Italy. It is a trick because the woman, telling the son to convert to Catholicism before she dies, manages to make him arrested for drug possession.

Meanwhile, in Rome at Montecitorio some corrupted and petty politicians, decide with the consent of the Secretary of the Prime Minister (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) to replace three MPs that have been recently killed by Cetto, Olfo and Frengo. Among them is also the Prime Minister himself (Paolo Villaggio). Cetto, Rodolfo and Frengo that are treated like royalty, with mansions and luxury apartments, and start having fun and doing nothing all day. Only one thing the Secretary recommended to the three; swear allegiance and never betray him. Their ineptitude, their meanness of character and habits, and particularly their ideals will only create trouble for the government buildings. In fact, the Secretary has made a mistake because he chose not professional "Art of Swindle" and fend for themselves, but of the provincial administrators who think only to their directives. Cetto La Qualunque does not appear even once to the House to vote in Parliament and has not abandoned the sake of having sex with beautiful girls, but a haunting happens to him when he has a brief affair with a transsexual. This is to Cetto is like a sober, it is as if he had been deprived of his dignity because he believes homosexuals of being ugly and unclean and become one of them would be the end. Frengo continues its path to beatification asking for an audience even to the pope Benedict XVI after he caught his attention with a change in the fee for the poor, where most of the gains ended the Cardinals of St. Peter. As if that were not enough, he believes that the family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph is not that perfect precisely because God has fertilized the Madonna and then the carpenter has recognized Christ as his son. Finally Rodolfo begins to hate people of color in a frightening way, not trusting even the gentle and cultured goalkeeper, as he comes from Africa. He plans to destroy only a few natural reserve, shack where the immigrants live and finally dry up the rivers, but in fact the disaster that is going to cause is huge and will be booed by everyone.

During a stay in the planet Komarr, Captain Ivan Vorpatril is recruited by Byerly Vorrutyer, an undercover agent of Imperial Security, to find out the identity of a young woman named Tej, connected to his investigation, who he believes may be in danger.

Ivan attempts to pick her up at her work and fails. When he shows up at her building, she lets him into her apartment and he is attacked by her companion, a genetically modified woman named Rish. He spends the night tied to a chair in their apartment while they decide what to do with him. When two men break into the apartment Ivan manages to alert the women, who stun the intruders. Ivan then offers his own flat as a safe place for them.

The women's persecutors accuse them of illegal immigration and simultaneously accuse Ivan of kidnapping them, to use the police to track them. When police are about to break into his apartment, Ivan marries Tej and hires Rish as her employee, to give them both a legal status in Komarr.

Tej reveals that she is the youngest daughter of Baron Cordonah from Jackson's Whole, a planet based on laissez-faire free market economics where what would be illegal activities elsewhere abound. House Cordonah had been recently taken over by force by a competitor, who put a price on the life or capture of the remaining members of the House, making bounty hunters track them all the way to Komarr. Now part of the family of a High Vor lord, Tej and Rish travel with Ivan to Barrayar, where the two women can be more secure.

Back in Barrayar, Rish gets involved romantically with Byerly. Tej and Ivan attempt to get a divorce by petition to Count Falco Vorpatril, but are rejected. Falco tells Ivan that he will have to face the consequences of his own actions for a change. Ivan and Tej begin developing feelings for each other, until unexpectedly Tej's entire family arrives. Under the cover of reuniting with them, their relatives have come to Barrayar to acquire the financial resources needed to attempt to take back their House.

Tej's grandmother, a former Cetagandan ''haut'' lady, knows of an underground bunker forgotten since the Cetagandan invasion of Barrayar had been defeated a century before. It is filled with looted treasure, but they discover that Imperial Security's headquarters have inadvertently been built just across the street from where the bunker is buried.

They use a genetically modified fungus to dig their way into the bunker without noise or electronic signals that would alert Imperial Security. Right when they're ready to vacate the bunker, Ivan figures out the scheme and confronts Tej, who manages to secure his help. The scheme falls apart when the smuggler the baron had hired to transport the treasure trove proves to be more interested in the bounty on the family, and in the confrontation a buried bomb explodes, trapping them all in the bunker.

While the bunker is flooding, Ivan and Tej confess their mutual feelings for each other and resolve to stay together. The Imperial forces rescue them and secure the bunker and its contents, but the foundations of ImpSec HQ are so compromised that the building sinks several levels below ground. Emperor Gregor negotiates a deal with Baron Cordonah: in exchange for one tenth of the bunker's contents and a ship to return to Jackson's whole, House Cordonah becomes a covert ally of Barrayar, offering Barrayaran agents safe haven in Jackson's Whole.

To avoid the scandal of the attempted theft, Byerly is exiled to Jackson's Whole with the Cordonahs, while Ivan is assigned as a diplomatic aide to planet Ylla. The book ends with Ivan and Tej reading letters from their families and planning their future.

''Fatale'' chronicles the life of Josephine, or "Jo", an archetypal femme fatale who is seemingly immortal, having survived from the 1930s to the modern day unaged, and also has a supernatural ability to hypnotize men into becoming intensely infatuated with her, whether she wants them to be or not.

Through the decades, Jo struggles to understand and control her powers while being pursued by a violent cult. The cult worships cosmic gods reminiscent of Lovecraftian horrors, which are somehow tied to Jo.

During her travels, Jo also encounters many men who quickly become entranced by her, often to fanatical degrees. They become entangled in her escapades, possibly as guardians, collaborators, and lovers. A motif of the series is how these men pay dearly for becoming involved with Jo.

The narrative jumps back and forth between different time periods and points of view, primarily Jo and the men entranced by her. The majority of the action in the first story arc takes place in the 1950s, the second in the 1970s, the third during the 1930s and World War II, while the fourth arc is set in the 1990s.

A couple of issues featured stand-alone stories focused on "fatales" before Jo. Issue #12 tells the story of Mathilda in 13th century France, while Issue #13 tells the story of "Black" Bonnie in the Wild West. Aside from her powers, both women also shared striking physical similarities with Jo and found themselves pursued by the same cult.

The episode begins with general surgeon Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) performing a special surgery, and to her dismay, the chief of surgery Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) is absent from the operating room. At Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo)'s house, Dr. Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) is engaging in sexual activity with Dr. Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), while his wife, Dr. Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) is estranged. In the next room, Meredith begins arguing with her husband, Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), over whether or not he should report the chief of surgery, Dr. Richard Webber's (James Pickens Jr.) alcoholism to Larry Jennings (Mitch Pileggi), the hospital's president.

Dr. Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) returns home after being on a hiatus, due to her being fired from the hospital, to rekindle her relationship with Karev. Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Dr. Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) are being intimate in the hospital's on-call room, until Torres discovers that she has the chicken pox. Robbins places her in isolation, because she wants a "sexy" relationship, and does not think the chicken pox can account to that. Meredith is set to perform a pancreaticoduodenectomy procedure with Dr. Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams), under the supervision of Webber, but under the influence of alcohol, he falls asleep, and Bailey performs the surgery. In an effort to reason with Meredith, Shepherd offers her a proposition. Shepherd is aware that he will receive Webber's job if he is reported, and therefore will be in charge of hiring. He explains to Meredith that if she lets him report the chief, he will let Stevens re-obtain her job.

Stevens enters the hospital to receive a Positron emission tomography, due to her cancer. When it is revealed that she is now cancer-free, her happiness leads Meredith to allowing Shepherd to report Webber. In the previous episode, "Blink", Dr. Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) told cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) that she could have Dr. Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd), her boyfriend, if she continued to mentor her at Seattle Grace Mercy West. An appalled Altman reveals this to Hunt; however, he and Yang subsequently mend their relationship, and Altman continues to work at the hospital. Lexie meets up with Dr. Mark Sloan (Eric Dane), her ex-boyfriend, and reveals that she had sex with Karev. Sloan reveals that he too was involved in sexual activity, but is unable to forgive Lexie. At the conclusion of the work-day, Stevens approaches Karev, seeking reconciliation, but he explains that he does not deserve to be treated the way he was, and asks her to leave. Meredith informs Stevens that she is getting her job back, but disinterested, Stevens departs, seeking a fresh start to life.

The musical is based on a band member named Viva who lives on a houseboat. The story starts when her band gets through to the audition stages of a TV show. The band get through multiple rounds of the auditions, but on the final round, Viva gets through, without her bandmates. As Viva follows her dreams, ''Viva Forever!'' charts her journey into the world of overnight celebrity and its impact on her mother and the friends she thought she'd have forever.

''The Soul of a Bishop'' tells the story of a spiritual crisis that leads Edward Scrope, Lord Bishop of Princhester, to give up his diocese in England's industrial heartland and leave the Anglican Church. Troubled during World War I by doctrinal doubts and a sense of the irrelevance of his Anglicism as well as nervousness and insomnia, a crisis is precipitated by a visit to a wealthy parishioner's home where he meets an extremely wealthy American widow, Lady Sunderbund. To her he speaks for the first time of his religious discontent. Shortly thereafter he takes a drug that, instead of mitigating his symptoms, gives him "a new and more vivid apprehension of things." The bishop experiences a mystical vision of "the Angel of God" and then God in the North Library of the Athenaeum Club, London. He emerges from the experience convinced that he must leave the Church, but is persuaded by an old mentor, Bishop Likeman, to wait three months before doing anything, during which time he continues in his episcopal duties.

Bishop Scrope keeps these developments from his wife, Lady Ella, and his four daughters until Lady Sunderbund arrives unannounced in Princhester, vowing to become his spiritual pupil. The strain of this new situation leads him to take Dr. Dale's drug a second time, and under its influence he has a second vision, this time of the terrestrial globe in a state of spiritual ferment to which the world's clergy is not ministering. Under the influence of this revelation he delivers a heretical confirmation address in the cathedral and resolves thereafter to leave the Church. Lady Sunderbund wishes to devote her riches to helping him found a new church, but in the process of developing plans for it Scrope realizes, in a third vision that this time is not mediated by any drug, that in the new religion he must serve "there must be no idea of any pulpit, of any sustained mission." In a final epiphany, he realizes that his refusal to "trust his family to God" has been holding him back, and that "this distrust has been the flaw in the faith of all religious systems hitherto." Five years after it began, Scrope's spiritual crisis is resolved.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas are affluent New Yorkers who are unhappy that their adult children, Ralph Thomas (Robert Young) and Phyl Thomas (Margaret Perry), spend so many evenings at parties instead of spending time with family. Their disapproval deepens when they discover both children want to move out to pursue lifestyles that the parents deem unacceptable: Phyl moves into her own apartment so that she can conduct an affair with a married man, Duff Wilson (David Newell). Her brother, Ralph, goes to Paris to pursue his dream of being a painter, thus disappointing his father who expected him to remain in the family wallpaper business. Mrs. Thomas repeatedly tries to invoke guilt in both children for not being with her, especially after Mr. Thomas dies of a stroke.

Eventually, Phyl marries her paramour and Ralph returns to New York, having failed as an artist. Mrs. Thomas dies shortly after Ralph's return. At the end of the film, Phyl, her twin infants, her husband Duff, and her brother Ralph are all living in the family home, with a newfound appreciation for the benefits of family life. In the film's last scene, Ralph and Duff are laughing together about how Phyl has evolved into a protective maternal figure, much like her own mother.

Prequel

On 23 March 2013, the BBC released a short prequel video to the episode, written by Steven Moffat. In the prequel, the Eleventh Doctor is sitting at the swings of a children's playground when he meets a little girl. They talk about losing things, and the Doctor states that he has lost someone twice and he hopes he might be able to find her again. The girl tells him that, when she loses something, she goes to a quiet place for a think, and then can remember where she put it. As the girl leaves, it is revealed that she is Clara Oswald.

Synopsis

The Doctor has retreated to a monastery in Cumbria in 1207 to contemplate the mystery of Clara Oswald, a woman he had met twice previously but who died both times. The Doctor answers the exterior phone on the TARDIS when it starts ringing. On the other end is Clara, whom the Doctor initially does not recognise. Clara, having been given the TARDIS' number by "a woman in the shop" and believing it is a computer help line, asks for help to connect to the Internet. When Clara repeats a phrase that previous versions of Clara have said, the Doctor realises who she is. He sets off to meet her.

Arriving in present-day London, the Doctor finds Clara's mind being "uploaded" via a mobile robotic server disguised as a young girl using the Wi-Fi. The Doctor halts the upload and successfully reverses it, sending a message that Clara is under his protection. The Doctor and Clara are outside when the uploaders cause an airplane to descend at them. The Doctor and Clara board the TARDIS and land on the plane, and the Doctor saves it from crashing.

The Doctor and Clara travel to a café. Clara uses computer skills that she picked up from her uploading experience to track the uploaders to their base at The Shard. The Doctor encounters people inside the café under the control of Miss Kizlet, who explains that living human minds are being fed to her client. Miss Kizlet distracts the Doctor long enough for a server disguised as the Doctor to upload Clara's mind completely. An angered Doctor reprograms this server and sends it out to Miss Kizlet's office inside The Shard. The Doctor server demands that she release all the minds that have been uploaded, but Miss Kizlet refuses. The Doctor then uses the server to upload Miss Kizlet to the network. Trapped in the network, she orders her subordinates to release her. But the only way they can release her is to release everyone, which they do, and so everyone else, including Clara, is restored.

The restored Miss Kizlet contacts her client, the Great Intelligence, to report her failure to him. The Great Intelligence orders her to reset all people working there, including herself, clearing their memories in the process. Meanwhile, the Doctor takes Clara home and offers her a chance to travel with him, which she refuses. She tells him to come back the next morning, as she may change her mind by then.

Continuity

''Summer Falls'', the book that Clara spots Artie, one of her charges, reading is written by "Amelia Williams", the married name of the Doctor's previous companion Amy Pond; she had been a travel writer in the 21st century before being permanently sent back to the early 20th century, and becoming the editor of her daughter's detective novel/guidebook.

The Great Intelligence makes its second appearance in a row after appearing in the preceding episode, "The Snowmen". In the intervening time, the Great Intelligence has encountered the Doctor's second incarnation twice, once in the Himalayan mountains during the 1930s and once in the London Underground in the 1970s.

The woman in the shop who gave Clara the Doctor's number is brought up in "Deep Breath". The Twelfth Doctor remarks it seems as if someone is trying to bring the Doctor and Clara together. The episode "Death in Heaven" reveals it was the Master (as Missy) who gave the number to Clara.

The lawyer Mazzacolli wants to get his hands on the properties of a countess (Papas) and, helped by a local nobleman (Scaccia), staged the kidnapping of the countess' retarded child who had asked for her hand (Savoy). The move would force the hand of the countess, particularly for granting the usufruct of the property to her future husband. Mazzacolli did not reckoned with love, that unpredictable changes ideas and situations.

In a small village in Lahat, South Sumatra, an 18-year-old boy named Dapunta (Qausar Harta Yudana) is almost ready to graduate from senior high school; he is known as the Wind Chaser locally because of his running capabilities. He and his mother Dakunta (Wanda Hamidah) want him to go to university, but his father – the leader of a gang of bandits – refuses to allow it. Dapunta decides to go to university no matter what.

His crush Nyimas (Siti Helda) and teacher Damar (Lukman Sardi) help him, motivating him to practice his running so that he can use athletics to enter the university of his choice. However, his classmate Yusuf (Giorgino Abraham) – who has similar running abilities – is also training; he sabotages some of Dapunta's practice sessions. Meanwhile, the headmaster attempts to limit Dapunta's training out of spite for his father.

A month later, Damar's friend Ferdy (Agus Kuncoro), a trainer, comes to Lahat looking for talent to participate in the upcoming Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games). He takes on Dapunta and further trains him. After Dapunta is able to represent his country at the SEA Games in Palembang, his father relents and allows Dapunta to follow his dreams.

Nineteen-year-old Li Myung-hoon (Choi Seung-hyun) never imagined he would become a killer. Born to a privileged life in North Korea, his dream was to become a pianist. But when his father, a North Korean spy, dies disgraced, Myung-hoon and his younger sister Hye-in (Kim Yoo-jung) are sent to a "guilt-by-association" forced labor camp. Their father's superior, high-ranking military official Colonel Moon (Jo Sung-ha) proposes a deal to Myung-hoon: if he goes down to the South as a "technician" (an assassin) and finishes what his father had failed to accomplish, he and his sister will be released from the prison camp. Myung-hoon accepts the deal and undergoes two years of intense training.

Myung-hoon finally arrives in South Korea under the guise of a North Korean defector. He is adopted by a South Korean couple who are actually North Korean spies and enrolls at a local high school. He gradually befriends Hye-in (Han Ye-ri), a bullied schoolgirl who shares the same name as his sister and has aspirations of becoming a professional dancer. Myung-hoon then receives his mission: in order to rescue his sister and go back home to the North, he must locate and take out "Big Dipper" (Jung Ho-bin), a North Korean agent working for the opposing government faction. Meanwhile, a power struggle ensues in North Korea with the failing health of dictator Kim Jong-il, and Myung-hoon quickly becomes a liability and must ultimately cope with Colonel Moon's treachery.

With Director Leon Vance reported missing, the NCIS team is called out to where his car has been found unoccupied. After investigating Vance's car, the team locates Vance at a family plot where Vance finds himself in a crypt, next to the body of a sailor killed along with the son of industrialist-turned-terrorist Harper Dearing. After picking him up, the team finds another message with a horse jaw that leads them to a retired NCIS agent who handled a case that sent Dearing's son to the destroyer that claimed his life. However, Dearing blows up the agent's house and leaves them a videotaped message, soon confronting Pentagon profiler Dr. Samantha Ryan by threatening her son and forcing her to flee when he buys out a judge to release her ex-husband on a technicality. Meanwhile, Jimmy is nervous on whether or not to go through with the marriage with everything going on and with no one else being able to attend, but Ducky tells him to go through with it, and that he will join him. However, Jimmy asks Breena to advance the wedding so he could return to assist with the case and so his friends could be there.

Gibbs decides to recruit convicted former officer Jonathan Cole based on Ryan's profiling of Dearing to lure him into a trap. It initially seems to have worked when Dearing tells Cole to meet him a cafe retired Navy officers attend, but Dearing doesn't show up to the meeting and instead leaves a phone for Cole. The former calls and tells Cole to relay a message to Gibbs that he was never interested in Director Vance and is really interested in justice. Back at headquarters, analyzing the call makes the team realize there is a bomb in Vance's car, installed when he was abducted, meant to blow up NCIS Headquarters at the Navy Yard and the whole building is evacuated. Cole attempts to defuse the bomb but is killed in the process (assumed), when the bomb detonates, while receiving a phone call indicating the bomb was for revenge against the Navy due to the death of his son, Evan, (revealed in "Up in Smoke") damaging part of the NCIS building with Gibbs and his team still inside. Ducky receives a phone call about the attack and is asked to autopsy the bodies, but the shock and stress of the call causes him to have a heart attack and collapse alone on a beach, leaving everyone's fates unknown.

Newly wed public prosecutor, Lee Tae-sung, goes undercover in pursuit of a gangster in Haeundae, Busan, attacked by his quarry and thrown into the sea, he loses his memory of who he was.

Overseas Police Adviser Peter Craig, on a cruise bound for Naples, stops in Lisbon to catch up with Ferreira, a former colleague who now runs a department of the PIDE security service. Craig calls at the British Embassy to announce his visit and is introduced to Simon Dickens, Head of Chancery. Dickens takes Craig into his confidence and explains that the Amanda, daughter of the Embassy's Defence Attache has recently gone missing, and asks for his help in finding her. Craig reluctantly agrees to ask Ferreira. Over lunch, Ferreira reveals that PIDE has been monitoring Amanda because of her links with a revolutionary group, and have reports of her leaving a party the evening before with Joao Goncalves Costa, the leader of that group. Ferreira requests that Amanda be questioned by his men before being released; Craig, mindful of avoiding a scandal, insists that she instead return to the Embassy to be deported immediately.

Craig reports back to the Embassy, meeting the withering Ambassador in the process. Craig's plan to continue his cruise is frustrated as the ship is docked for repairs, and he reluctantly agrees to help with the search for Amanda, which leads first to her ex-boyfriend and then to a villa outside the city. Craig realises that PIDE agents are tailing him, and evades them.

At the villa, Craig discovers Joao's corpse and confronts Amanda, who explains that he was killed by a Russian intelligence officer, Rogov, under cover as Oxford professor Milo Janek, who had recruited her two years earlier as a mole because of her links with the Embassy. Rogov was concerned that her involvement with Joao and the group would blow her cover. However, her eventual goal is to become a double agent for MI5.

Craig is mistrustful of Amanda's motives, and is about to take her back to the Embassy when Rogov arrives with Luiz, a henchman from the local illegal residency. After a standoff, Rogov catches Craig and Amanda trying to escape, and captures them. Craig convinces Rogov that Amanda has told him very little about her plans, and the four drive away to dispose of Joao's body. On the way, Craig causes a car crash and in the ensuing fight Luiz is killed and Rogov escapes. Further down the road, they find Rogov's crashed car and another fight ensues: Craig is shot and eventually Rogov is subdued and left for the police to find him. Craig and Amanda make their way back to town, still avoiding the PIDE who by now are actively searching for her.

Craig leaves Amanda at a safe house and bargains with Ferreira, telling him that Rogov, the son of a Red Army general, is worth more to the PIDE than Amanda. Ferreira grudgingly agrees. As Craig returns to the Embassy, Ferreira telephones to say that Rogov committed suicide in the prison hospital, but that the PIDE had collected useful evidence from his belongings and could still shut down the local revolutionary group.

Craig arranges for Amanda to be debriefed at length by MI5 on her return, hoping that the experience will make her realise the seriousness of her actions. The novel ends with a letter from Amanda to Craig, where she writes that she has been deceiving her interrogator and teasing him that she will infiltrate the British intelligence services.

The novel begins in Paris, as an MI6 officer prepares to meet a would-be Soviet defector. The meeting turns sour and the MI6 man is murdered after learning that the KGB have a mole in the British Embassy in Rome, but his killers do not realise that a concealed microphone has recorded everything.

Craig, in Rome for a security conference, is briefed by MI6 to investigate the Embassy and find the mole. Craig interviews the main suspects, Adams, Ransome and Warren, and discovers that all have motive as well as opportunity to work with the Russians.

Craig meets Ashbee to coordinate his investigation with the CIA, who tells him about the illegal Soviet residency in Rome. Sir Watkyn volunteers to send false messages, implying that MI6 is blackmailing the Russian Ambassador, in order to lure out the spy. The KGB abduct Ashbee, blaming the Roman mafia for the kidnapping. With Kahn's help, Craig approaches the Roman mafia and convinces them that the KGB has set them up and caused the CIA to investigate them. With the help of the mafia, Craig rescues Ashbee and captures the KGB agents.

Still needing to find the source of the Embassy leaks, Craig allows Zakharov to escape and follows him to discover the mole.

Robert Edgar Willoughby Pitt embarks on a steamship leaving London for New York. However, First Class is full and Robert is forced to travel with the emigrants on the lower deck, from where, by regulation, he cannot access the upper one. The beautiful Molly Creedon is traveling in First Class and Robert, in order to woo the girl, encounters many difficulties precisely because of the restrictions with which he has to comply.

Arriving in New York, Robert heads to his exclusive club, where he bets that he could rob a house and avoid being arrested. Later, when Spike Mullins tries to rob him, Robert prevents him, but offers to team up on the caper. Spike suggests robbing the home of a deputy police commissioner known for taking bribes. The man, "Big Phil" Creedon, is Molly's father. Molly catches the thieves and "Big Phil" accepts a bribe to let them go, but warns Robert to keep away from Molly.

The series follows Wander, a nomadic and overly-optimistic intergalactic traveller and his best friend and steed, Sylvia the Zbornak, as they travel from planet to planet helping people to have fun and live free, despite the continuing encroachment of Lord Hater, one of the most powerful villains in the galaxy, and his army of Watchdogs.

The show's first season is episodic; there are very few strong ties between episodes, and they can be viewed independently of each other. In the second season, however, a more sequential story is introduced; as Lord Dominator begins to conquer the galaxy, the show's tone becomes more serious and the focus moves from stopping the rather incompetent Lord Hater to stopping the extremely competent Lord Dominator. As a result, the episodes are more closely linked and there are several developments in the overarching plot.

Fortunato Assante (Leo Gullotta) is an out work/out of money actor. He agrees to take a job teaching drama at a reform school. After some hesitation he realizes the potential and ability of various students, and has pity for the lives these kids have lived on the streets.

The text of this novel of ideas presents itself as a book that has been written as the result of a promise to a dying man. William Porphyry Benham is a man who has lived a life devoted to a complicated, protean idea: "that he had to live life nobly and thoroughly." He has left behind him "half a score of patent files quite distended [with papers] and a writing-table drawer-full," and the novel is by implication what his friend White, who has promised to "see after your book," has produced to acquit himself of the promise, since the papers themselves are "an indigestible aggregation."

Benham is a man of means due to curious circumstances: his mother left his father, a schoolmaster, for a wealthy man named Nolan who died soon thereafter, but not before leaving "about a third of his very large fortune entirely to Mrs. Benham and the rest to her in trust for her son, whom he deemed himself to have injured." His mother subsequently marries a great London surgeon and becomes Lady Marayne; her indiscretion is forgiven and she enjoys a position of privilege.

The bulk of the novel recounts Benham's effort to live nobly, which brings him into conflict with his mother, with his friend Prothero, a schoolboy chum who becomes a Cambridge don, and with his wife, Amanda, a young woman he loves passionately but then leaves behind in England to travel the world (India, Russia, China) in search of wisdom. It is in Johannesburg, South Africa, that Benham is fatally shot while attempting to stop soldiers firing at strikers.
