High school student Shoya Ishida intends to kill himself but changes his mind at the last minute and decides to wrap up loose ends. A flashback reveals Shoya as a sixth-grade student in elementary school, during which a new student named Shoko Nishimiya joins the class and is shown to be deaf. She tries to integrate with the class but ends up being an easy target for Shoya and his friends to bully. When word of the bullying reaches the principal, Shoya is singled out as the culprit by his teacher and friends resulting in the class's bullying becoming directed toward him. Shoya blames Shoko, and the two get into a physical altercation. Shoko is subsequently transferred to another school, and Shoya keeps a notebook Shoko had left behind.

Being outcast throughout middle school for his reputation as a bully, Shoya, now in high school, is a depressed loner who is unable to look others in the eyes and envisions an "X" mark on people's faces. To wrap up his loose ends, Shoya goes to return Shoko's notebook at the sign language center and apologize, but panics and asks to be friends instead. Shoko accepts his offer, leading Shoya to endeavor to make up for his bullying of Shoko. Tomohiro Nagatsuka, another loner, also befriends Shoya after he protects him from a bully.

One day, Shoya accidentally drops the notebook into a river. He jumps in to retrieve it, which is prohibited. Yuzuru, Shoko's younger sister, takes a photo of Shoya jumping in and posts it online to get revenge on him, eventually leading to Shoya getting suspended. Shoya finds Yuzuru, who ran away from home, and brings her to stay at his house. When she leaves in the middle of the night, Shoya follows, and the two make up and become friends.

Shoya and Shoko reunite with Miyoko Sahara, a classmate from elementary school who was friendly to Shoko. Shoko later gives Shoya a gift and confesses her feelings for him, but because she tries to speak her affections rather than signing them out, Shoya mishears her.

Shoya invites Shoko to an amusement park with Tomohiro, Miyoko, Miki Kawai (another classmate from elementary school), and Satoshi Mashiba (Miki's friend). There, they are joined by another classmate from elementary school, Naoka Ueno (who had also bullied Shoko alongside Shoya), who drags Shoko into a ferris wheel. Naoka voices her feelings of hatred for Shoko, blaming her for creating a rift between her and Shoya, with whom she is infatuated. Yuzuru, who had been secretly recording the encounter, shows this video to Shoya. Desperate to remain blameless for her part in bullying Shoko following the leak, Miki exposes Shoya's past to the students, who were oblivious to it. Later, she attempts to apologize to the group, but Shoya blows everyone off after Naoka remains dismissive.

Meanwhile, Shoko and Yuzuru's grandmother has died peacefully. To cheer them up, Shoya takes them to the countryside and sees that Shoko blames herself for everything that has happened to him. Shoya decides to devote his entire social life to the sisters.

During a fireworks festival, Shoko goes home under the guise of finishing homework. Shoya follows when Yuzuru asks him to get her camera. As he arrives, he finds Shoko standing and preparing to fall from the balcony. Shoya succeeds in grabbing her and pulls her back up but falls into the river below. He is rescued by his former best friends in elementary school but slips into a coma. Hoping to help Shoya, Shoko meets with each group member to explain her and Shoya's situations.

One night, Shoko dreams about receiving a farewell visit from Shoya. Horrified, she runs to the bridge and collapses in tears. Shoya, awakening from his coma, stumbles to the bridge and finds her there. He apologizes for how he treated her, asking her to stop blaming herself, and admits that, while he once considered ending his own life, he has since decided against it. Shoya then asks her to help him continue to live, to which she agrees.

When Shoya returns to school, he is reunited with his friends and comes to understand how much they still care for him. The friends go to the school festival together, and Shoya manages to look people in the eye again as he envisions the "X" marks fading away. Looking around at his family and friends he has made, Shoya tears up, knowing he has finally redeemed himself.

The novel is told by William "Liam" Garrihy many years after his time as a teenage member of a Brooklyn longshoremen gang. Garrihy's father listens to a stirring speech given at Glasnevin Cemetery in August 1915 for the Fenian rebel Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa. Realizing that an uprising is coming soon, he sends his younger son to New York to work with his brother Joseph, a recruiter for the International Longshoremen's Association in Brooklyn.

After a tumultuous journey by sea in steerage of a transport steamer, Liam's last name is changed from Garrihy to Garrity at Ellis Island. He immediately becomes sick in Brooklyn and, at his uncle Joseph's beckoning, drinks mulled ale and home-brewed poteen. After vomiting, his drunken uncle throws him out in the cold.

Homeless in Brooklyn, Liam squats in an abandoned building on Flatbush Avenue with other children and meets a member of Richie "Pegleg" Lonergan's gang, who steals his coat. Starving and cold, Liam attempts to steal from a dray and is taken away by Vincent Maher, a member of the White Hand Gang. The two go to the wake of Maher's friend, McGowan. There, Liam meets Dinny Meehan, leader of the White Hand Gang.

Liam is then initiated into the gang and learns that it is under attack by many elements including the local police in William Brosnan, the New York Dock Company, the South Brooklyn Italian Black Hand as well as "Wild Bill" Lovett, a dockboss who wants to take the gang over from Meehan. Since the ILA is also an enemy of the gang, Meehan wants to use Liam's relationship to "get" his uncle Joseph, who is an ILA recruiter.

In April 1916, Liam is in Greenwich Village with Meehan when news of the Easter Rising in Dublin reaches him. He fears for the safety of his mother and sisters. Meehan then promises to help him get them to New York as long as Liam provides access to his uncle. Meehan then strikes out against the gang's enemies in a series of violent attacks which secure the White Hand Gang's status at the top of the labor racket.

Dean (Jensen Ackles) continues to hunt demons with a new partner, Rudy. Investigating the death of a girl in Superior, Nebraska, the Mark continues to corrupt him. Dean finds the vampire holding the girl's friend, he kills the creature and makes him kill Rudy. Meanwhile, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Castiel (Misha Collins) make Rowena (Ruth Connell) cast a spell to destroy the Mark of Cain. She agrees if she gains her freedom and Nadya's Codex. She realizes the spell requires to sacrifice her greatest love. Castiel enters her mind to see her greatest love is Oskar: a boy she befriended 300 years ago and granted immortality.

Dean has visions of people he has hurt or killed and destroys his entire hotel room to stop them. Sam tracks him and arrives at his hotel room, but Dean is gone. He finds a note and the keys to the Impala, writing "She's all yours." Castiel summons Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) to help him with the ingredients, although Crowley is still angry after Sam tried to kill him. Crowley realizes the man he met at the diner in the previous episode is Oskar.

Dean arrives at a bar where he summons Death (Julian Richings), asking the Pale Horseman to kill him as the Mark is affecting him severely, using a smorgasbord of junk food as enticement. Death refuses, stating that he can't kill Dean without the Mark being passed over to someone else. He tells him that before the time, there was a being called The Darkness. God and his archangels managed to lock it away in a prison with the Mark acting as a lock and God entrusted it on Lucifer. But the Mark corrupted Lucifer, which caused him to transfer it to Cain, and then to Dean. As Dean says he won't pass the Mark, Death says he can relocate Dean to a place where he will do no harm if he kills Sam so he doesn't rescue him.

Dean calls Sam to say goodbye and tells Sam that the world would be better without them trying to protect it, citing Charlie's death. They fight over the difference and Dean finally beats Sam. Dean then takes the Death's scythe to kill Sam. Sam manages to show Dean his importance in family and all his memories. At the last moment, Dean instead kills Death with the scythe, who crumbles into dust. Crowley brings Oskar with Castiel and Rowena, who sadly kills Oskar to complete the spell. The spell causes a lightning bolt to finally erase the Mark of Cain from Dean's arm.

Rowena takes the Book of the Damned and immobilizes Crowley and Castiel. In revenge for making her kill Oskar, she casts a spell on Castiel, causing him to attack an immobile Crowley. As Sam and Dean leave the bar, lightning begins striking multiple places in the ground, causing columns of black smoke to roll into an enormous force, The Darkness. They try to leave in the Impala, only to be stuck in a pothole. The season ends as The Darkness overruns the Impala, with Sam and Dean inside.

Happy Go Lucky is a story of three sisters who desire their life partners to be Inspector, Singer and a NRI. Coincidentally, when they speak of their desires, Bhalla who is the father of three sons stands by listening to them and thinking about his own sons who match all their desires. The girls' father initially is upset, and declines the match. But eventually the marriages take place.

It is 1809 and Britain sends its convicts to the penal colony of New South Wales. On a convict ship travelling to Sydney, the convicts, notably three men, Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark, sing "He-ho, you'll never go back".

Elizabeth Westcott is being transported after being given a five year sentence for killing a pig and serving it to a pompous magistrate at her father's inn. On the boat over she meets Richard Soames, an army officer being transferred to the NSW Corps. Elizabeth befriends Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark after she refuses to report them for theft; they sing "Send for Me" together.

The ship arrives in Sydney. Richard meets the new, temporary Governor, Colonel Paterson, who has taken over from Governor Bligh (the Rum Rebellion has just taken place). Paterson complains about the lack of decent servants and Richard recommends Elizabeth but Paterson is reluctant to employ a former convict.

Elizabeth arrives to track down Richard and impresses Paterson, who offers her the job of managing Government House. She persuades Richard to let Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark join her as servants. Richard sings "You Walk By" to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth runs the house with great success but this causes the Governor's wife, Lydia, to become jealous and demand the convict leave. Paterson decides to grant Elizabeth a ticket of leave and loans her five pounds to set up an inn. Elizabeth sings "I'm on My Way".

Elizabeth runs the inn, called the Silver Bottle, along with a servant girl, Mog. It is popular but they have trouble with the local soldiers. She decides to gate crash a party held by Paterson and his wife, in order to talk to the Governor. At the party, Lydia sings a song to her guests, "Our Own Bare Hands".

Elizabeth arrives to make an appeal to Paterson, but upsets Lydia. Richard arrives at the party and dances with Elizabeth; he sings her a song, "Sometimes".

At the Silver Bottle, the customers, including Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark, sing and dance a number, "The Grog Song". The convicts mock Lydia, when Paterson arrives and overhears. He is upset and sends the convicts home. Paterson also tells Elizabeth she and Richard must not see each other, as she would be bad for his career. She briefly reprises "Send for Me".

Paterson tells Richard to not see Elizabeth and he reluctantly agrees. Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark escape, taking Paterson's rabbits. Sent to find the convicts, Paterson sneaks out to see Elizabeth and they sing a song, "So Much More". Paterson catches the two of them together and demands Richard's resignation; he also orders Paterson to spend the night in prison with the three recaptured convicts.

In prison, Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark sing "The Whole Shebang", watched by Richard. The convicts escape, during which Richard is knocked out. The convicts deposit Richard and Elizabeth's inn. When Richard wakes up he insists they go back to prison. He and Elizabeth sing "The Argument" along with Mansfield, Harbutt and Snark. The convicts eventually agree to return to their cell.

Lydia is convinced that Elizabeth and her husband are having an affair. The convicts have broken out of prison again. Elizabeth insists she loves Richard. Elizabeth and Richard sing a love duet, "You Walked By".

The convicts arrive, having recaptured Paterson's rabbits. Paterson tells Richard that the NSW Corps is being disbanded, Paterson is going home and Richard is out of the army. Elizabeth has to serve out the remaining four years of her sentence. Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark are given an extra five years of service, but are assigned to Richard as servants. Mog, the convicts, Elizabeth and Richard sing a final song.

An overachieving blind man and his unaccomplished brother compete for the same woman.

''Climate Change Denial Disorder'' is structured in the form of a spoof public service announcement. The narrator begins the film by introducing the fictional disease with a question for the viewer: "Does your parent, grandparent or political representative suffer from Climate Change Denial Disorder? CCDD is a rapidly spreading disease that, world health officials say, if left untreated, could destroy the entire planet."

Ed Begley Jr. portrays a politician unaware of the environmental changes occurring around him. He is shown attempting to paddle a canoe through a paved parking lot. The politician smiles while gazing directly at the viewer and says: "I’m gonna wait til more horrible shit happens to our planet — and I'm a senator, so fortunately, I get to make those decisions for all of us."

The narrator explains the mechanism of the disorder while an illustrated video of the brain is displayed: "Climate Change Denial Disorder is a rapidly spreading disease that attacks the neurons, making it impossible to comprehend basic words." Words eventually removed from comprehension by those suffering from the disorder are said to include: "factual", "science", and "melting".

Another man says to the camera that he feels global warming is "a bunch of New Age hooey garbage". He goes on to exclaim: "It's snowing right now, who cares if I'm in Southern California!" He explains his thinking behind ignoring scientists, stating: "I'm not a scientist. Who listens to those nerds anyway?"

A woman faces the camera and states her disbelief that Earth's polar ice caps are melting. She gives her rationale for what is occurring: "I believe the polar bears are just getting fatter and weighing them down. Ever think of that, hippies?"

The narrator concludes the film by stating: "56 percent of Republicans in Congress have been severely infected with CCDD and need your help immediately."

Overcome with grief after the death of her son, Jia En turns to a medium, Madam Seetoh, who promises she can help return the boy's soul.

Playwright Stewart retains novelist James's plot structure essentially intact but updates the characters: James's Catherine Sloper becomes Stewart's Claudine, an insecure, plain-looking young woman. Dr. Sloper becomes Eve Walker, Claudine's bitter, divorced mother, a wealthy TV financial wizard, who is grooming Claudine to take over her position as head of a philanthropic foundation. Morris Townsend becomes Henry, Claudine's handsome beau, an avant-garde theatre director who is deeply in debt. Lavinia Penniman becomes Maggie, Eve's personal assistant and confidante. The tone of the first act is light comedy as Henry courts Claudine and asks her to marry him. The second act turns dramatic as Eve, believing Henry is interested in Claudine only for her money, threatens to disinherit her if she marries him. In her insecurity Claudine believes he is her only chance for love and happiness. When Henry then leaves her, Claudine is heartbroken and becomes embittered but self-confident.

Following the release of Lucifer from his Cage, Sam and Dean Winchester are mysteriously transported onto a plane flying overhead. Sam is also clean of the influence of demon blood. Confused by the turn of events, the Winchesters visit Chuck the Prophet who tells them that Castiel was killed by the archangel who had showed up to stop him. At that moment, Zachariah arrives with two angels to force the Winchesters' compliance with Heaven's plans, but Dean uses a blood sigil Castiel taught him to banish the three angels. Sam later creates hex bags to hide them from the senses of both angels and demons.

As the Winchesters work on finding a way to stop Lucifer, Chuck sends them a message about a vision he received on the location of the Michael Sword, the weapon the archangel Michael used to defeat Lucifer the first time. With the help of Bobby Singer, the Winchesters figure out the weapon is in their father's lock-up, but Bobby is revealed to be possessed by a demon loyal to Meg, the Winchesters old demon enemy. After being ordered to kill Dean, Bobby manages to stab himself and kill the demon possessing him instead, allowing the Winchesters to kill Meg's other demon minions with Meg herself fleeing. After taking Bobby to the hospital, the Winchesters rush to the lock-up to find the Michael Sword.

At the lock-up, the Winchesters are confronted by Zachariah and his angels who reveal the whole thing was a trap for the Winchesters. Dean is the Michael Sword: his one true vessel on Earth to combat Lucifer with. When Dean refuses to give Michael permission to possess him, since it is required, Zachariah begins horrifically torturing the brothers to force Dean's cooperation. Unexpectedly, Castiel appears and kills Zachariah's two angels. Castiel implies that the same being that rescued the Winchesters from the convent resurrected him and forces Zachariah to heal the brothers and leave. Castiel brands the Winchesters with sigils that will protect them from angelic detection and warns them that Lucifer is close to gaining a vessel. Before leaving, Castiel confirms that he was dead, but refuses to tell them how he came back to life.

At the same time, Lucifer visits a man named Nick who recently lost his wife and child. After tormenting him with hallucinations, Lucifer visits Nick in the form of his dead wife and convinces Nick to allow Lucifer to possess him.

After the encounter with Zachariah, the Winchesters visit Bobby who survives his wounds but is left paralyzed from the waist down. Dean gives a rallying speech about fighting both the forces of Heaven and Hell to stop the Apocalypse but privately admits to Sam it was only just for Bobby's benefit. Sam choosing Ruby over Dean has also damaged Dean's trust in his brother and he doesn't know how to get over it.

The story revolves around a crazy, outgoing and bold girl, Anjali and her unusual love-hate relationship with her boyfriend Arjun, a wildlife photographer. Their almost heavenly, sweet courtship days and their close-to-hell married chaos makes up the crux of the story.

Gautamiputra Satakarni is the 2nd century CE Satavahana ruler of Amaravati whose dream is to unite all of the 32 kingdoms in the country to stop internal skirmishes and establish peace. He takes an oath to his mother Gautami Balasri, starts his mission at the age of 18, and gives only two options to the kings on his way: peace (by surrendering their sword) or war. After 18 long years, he takes entire South India under his control. For the time being, Satakarni marries Vasishti Devi, and they have a son named Pulumavi (Master Snehit Chowdary). Nahapana, the important ruler of the Western Kshatrapas, is a powerful and villainous person who forcibly locks up the princes of his feudatory kingdoms as royal prisoners to protect his kingdom on all sides. Now, it is a difficult task for Satakarni to reach Nahapana, so he uses a strategy and decides to go along with his son Pulumavi to the battlefield. However, Vasishti opposes, but Satakarni still stubbornly does so. Simultaneously, Greek Emperor Demetrius is waiting at the border for the result of their battle, thereafter to conquer the country. Meanwhile, Satakarni moves towards Nahapana's fort. On the way, he assures the feudatory kings to safeguard and secure their children. Finally, he reaches Nahapana's fort, destroys him, rescues the princes, brings the entire country under one flag, and slaps his thigh.

Satakarni then returns to Amaravathi, with the 32 swords which he has obtained from the rulers of India, and Balasri orders him to make a powerful sword by melting the 32 swords. Everybody welcomes him with great enlightenment and joy, but his wife Vasishti is fed up with his dictatorial mentality. She decides to leave him, but now he has to perform ''Rajasuya Yaaga'', a grand ritual that is impossible without a wife. At the request of her mother-in-law, Vasishti agrees to stay until its completion. During the ritual, the Emperor must give ''Agra Pooja'' honor to the topmost person in the kingdom. Satakarni gives it to his mother by spreading the greatness of women, and from there onwards, he changes his name to ''Gautamiputra Satakarni'' and also names his son as ''Vasishtiputra Pulumavi'', where his wife Vasishti understands the virtue of her husband. Satakarni declares a new era called ''Salivahana Sakha'' and the day starts as ''Ugadi''. That night, Kanjira, one of the feudatory kings, backstabs his compatriots by aiding Demetrius and lets his men enter the fort to knock out Satakarni. Still, Gautami Balasri protects her son by breaking up their tactics.

Satakarni learns that Demetrius has entered the borders of Sindhu Kingdom to conquer the country, whose army is 10 times that of his. He then gets ready for the final battle. At that point, Vasishti senses bad signs that someone has poisoned her husband, so she requests him to avoid this battle when Satakarni explains to her his childhood dream of uniting the entire country which he had done so. Now, he has to protect it from invaders. His only choices are victory or martyrdom. Gauthami Balasri consults a Bhikkhu and explains to him regarding these bad signs, who gives her an antidote to the poison. At last, Satakarni reaches the Sindhu Kingdom. During the first day of battle, Satakrani destroys almost half of the Greek army. There, Demetrius understands that it is difficult to conquer India as long as Satakarni is alive. He sends a woman named Athena (Farah Karima) to Satakarni as a messenger. Unfortunately, he drinks a juice laced with poison that she offers. He foams at the mouth and faints, screaming. The next day, when Satakarni is under treatment, all other Kings are confused as to whether to fight or retreat. They understand the goal of Satakarni is not only to win the country, but also to develop unity among them, and decide to partake in the battle. Meanwhile, Satakarni recovers reach the battlefield, and defeats Demetrius, affirming, "Nobody can destroy the Unity of India".

The film's timeline stretches from 1964 to 1980. The film opens with Douglas Kenney and his classmate Henry Beard celebrating the release of their book, ''Bored of the Rings'', with the ''Harvard Lampoon'' staff.

They graduate from Harvard and Kenney convinces Beard not to go to law school but instead publish a monthly magazine: the ''National Lampoon''. Though Kenney is the magazine's main creative voice, there would be no magazine without the guidance of Beard. Kenney becomes the comedy writer and Beard the business manager, while the magazine also has a thriving art department.

They get financing from Matty Simmons. All of the writers work hard to be funny and meet deadlines. Work is a party atmosphere and illicit drug use is prevalent. The magazine is not initially a success until lawsuits are threatened by Disney, Volkswagen, Mormons, and many other established names. The comedy world is changed, and the magazine pushes the acceptance of satire and parody with each edition.

Kenney, due to burnout, suddenly leaves for nine months with a one-line note to Beard. The magazine stays successful under Beard. After five years Simmons agrees to a buyout and they each collect $3.5 million, a request demanded by Beard and Kenney. Beard, being unhappy and greatly stressed, takes his check and immediately exits the magazine.

''National Lampoon'' expands to an hour radio show attracting more great comedians like Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Gilda Radner. But Lorne Michaels buys them all out and signs them over to ''Saturday Night Live''. Special editions of the magazine are published such as one mocking high school yearbooks.

Kenney then moves to movies and writes ''Animal House'' in 1978. With the success of the film, cocaine takes over Kenney's life. As disputes with studio executives continue, Kenney writes ''Caddyshack''. Not liking his work, he embarrasses himself being drunk and high at a press conference for the film.

Kenney, Beard and Chris Hoffman all sell the ''National Lampoon'' to 21st Century Communications. Kenney's cocaine addiction takes over. Chevy Chase takes Kenney to Hawaii to beat the cocaine but cocaine wins instead. In 1980, at age 33, Kenney's body is found at the bottom of a Hawaiian cliff (with his glasses and shoes neatly stacked at the top edge). As he has narrated his life's story through the movie, Kenney is displeased to see everyone sad at his funeral. The movie ends with Beard starting a food fight at the wake (just like at the ''Harvard Lampoon'' years ago).

The story of Vallamai Tharayo follows the lives of Mahesh, an excellent doctor, as well as Sandhya, a chirpy art teacher and how their paths intertwine. Though Mahesh is backed by a good team of assistants he is haunted by the only failure in his career. With his competition waiting for him to fumble, his career becomes almost vulnerable. Will the team he has built save his name? Will Mahesh and Sandhya be able to find the strength to overcome these challenges together?

Federico, having arrived in Rome to look for work, is run over by the director of the Department Stores; he meets him again shortly after, because he has an interview with him, who hires him as an elevator operator.

The boy then meets Laura, the shop assistant, but their love is thwarted by the girl's boss, who is infatuated with her.

Initial press releases of In Deep stated that life as an undercover detective is demanding. One slip-up can result in disaster, something that Liam Ketman (Nick Berry) and Garth O Hanlon (Stephen Tompkinson) know only too well. The pressure of leading complicated double lives means that sacrifices must be made for the job and the impact on their personal lives is immense." Liam Ketman is described as a family man whose marriage is under strain because of his job as an undercover detective. Garth O'Hanlon is described as a character apparently devoid of emotional or family entanglements who deals with often extreme violence as part of his job.

Actor Stephen Tompkinson said of the series, In Deep is a very gritty drama and not the kind of thing that I'm normally associated with. I think if the audience are expecting ''Ballykissangel'' or ''Grafters'' they're in for a surprise. This is not just another police show, it was seat of the pants stuff for us and the dramatic possibilities are endless. Tompkinson also commented on the work of real life undercover police officers. "There are only about 30 of these officers in this country, and they've got no fixed abode and no safety net when things go wrong, and it's terrifying really. They're always acting, pretending to be somebody else, and I found that fascinating that here was a real job with lives at risk, but where they act all the time. So In Deep is sort of a drama within a drama.

Tompkinson was forced to change his appearance radically for every episode to suit each individual undercover persona. Whilst researching material for the series, writer Peter Jukes spent several weeks with real-life undercover police officers that infiltrate hard-core criminal operations, in order to find out what life is really like for them. The first series was shot over the course of thirteen weeks in and around London.

Federico, his girlfriend Laura and her cousin, Caterina, are three young people full of hope, united by a great friendship that seems indissoluble. The three work in a department store but, when Caterina decides to attempt a musical career, given her vocal skills, everything changes. Caterina becomes a successful singer and Federico falls in love with her. Caterina, who however does not want to make her cousin Laura suffer, pretends not to reciprocate the young man by making him put his head in order. Meanwhile, the plots of various secondary characters evolve, in particular the fresh marriage between the security guard Antonio and the secretary of the department stores Adelina.

The film ends with Catherine singing the song ''Perdono'' at a show.

Nova awakes in an unknown location with no memories of her recent past. After receiving a warning to escape, Nova eventually learns that she and some of her fellow Ghosts had been captured and brainwashed by insurrectionist group the Defenders of Man. After splitting up with the others, Nova contacts the Dominion flagship the Hyperion. Nova learns from the Dominion's military head Admiral Matt Horner that she is wanted for defecting to the Defenders of Man. Meeting with Emperor Valerian, who reinstates her into service, Nova is tasked with investigating her connection with the Defenders of Man, and the new Zerg attacks on human-space. To aid her with her mission, she is given command of the spaceship Griffin, and a crew including Reigel as her second in command. Arriving at the ruins of her homeworld and former Confederate capital Tarsonis, she discovers the Defenders of Man are using the Confederate-pioneered Psi-Emitters to attack human worlds and then save them, in order to drum up opposition against Valerian by making the Dominion appear weak.

After coming into contact with Tal'darim Protoss, Nova is contacted by Tal'darim Highlord Alarak, who offers his assistance in restoring Nova's memories if she can help destroy rebel Tal'darim. Nova does so, and begins to remember some of her previous memories. Nova comes to remember that while she was brainwashed by the Defenders of Man, she had helped plant a number of Psi-Emitters on Dominion worlds to stage Zerg attacks. She also remembers that the Defenders of Man are led by General Carolina Davis, a secret loyalist of the previous regime under Arcturus Mengsk. Alarak also reveals that the Defenders of Man attacked the Tal'darim in an effort to provoke him, and promises to exact his revenge upon them.

Realizing Davis' machinations, Valerian sends a false offer of abdication to Davis to distract her. Nova infiltrates Davis' base and arrests her right as Valerian exposes her crimes to the Dominion using the evidence Nova gathered. Davis' plan is revealed and most of the Defenders of Man rejoin the Dominion. However Alarak, angry that the Defenders of Man were not wiped out, attacks the Dominion, causing heavy losses before Nova and the Dominion fleet drive him away. In the confusion, Davis escapes and attacks a Dominion shipyard with a Dominion superweapon called the Xanthos. Nova boards the Xanthos and kills Davis against Valerian's orders. Reigel and the Griffin's crew remain loyal to Nova, who decides to protect the Dominion in her own way while not being restricted by its laws. Horner is commanded by Valerian to let her depart for the time being.

After an expedition to Egypt with his colleague Professor Niles, Paul Forsyth returns to his fiancée Evelyn with a mysterious box of scarlet seeds. He warns her that the story of their origin will haunt her, but her naïve curiosity prevails.

Forsyth's tale begins when, despite fatigue and growing wariness, he follows the insatiable Niles deep into the Pyramid of Cheops. The two decide to lie in the sand and rest while Niles's guide, Jumal, seeks another guide to lead Forsyth to safety. Awaking alone, Forsyth plunges farther into the labyrinth in search of Niles, whom he finds lost and despairing. Niles breaks his leg in a fall, and, fearing for their lives, the two resolve to start a fire in order to signal Jumal. They burn a wooden coffin and unroll the wrappings of the mummified woman inside, where they discover the box of seeds. Despite strong reservations, Forsyth throws the mummy on the fire at Niles's command, before deciphering a piece of parchment which identifies the woman as a powerful sorceress who has vowed to curse anyone who dares disturb her grave. Forsyth keeps the box as a "souvenir" and Jumal rescues the hapless explorers, who have lost consciousness from the fumes.

Evelyn asks to plant the seeds, but Forsyth throws them into the fireplace, fearing that they may be cursed or poisonous. He reveals that Niles has had bad luck since his return, but the happy lovers do not think much of it. Three months later, Forsyth remarks to Evelyn on their wedding day that she has grown frail and sickly. She confides that she feels she is dying, but he dismisses her ailment as bridal nerves. He reveals that one seed has escaped the fire after all, and after being sent to Niles, it has bloomed into an unusual white flower. She surprises him by revealing that she has grown her own strange flower in her boudoir, and that she intends to wear it during the wedding, which he cautions against. She appears at the ceremony with renewed vivacity, but later falls into a swoon, revealing the flower pinned to her breast. An urgent letter arrives from a friend of Niles's, bringing news of the professor's death after wearing his own flower, which was later pronounced to be a lethal poison which drains the vitality of the wearer. Evelyn falls into a catatonic state of "death in life," and Forsyth secludes himself to tend to his insensate wife.

Professor Jim Marchuk is an experimental psychologist at the University of Manitoba and a subscriber to utilitarianism. He is asked to testify at the sentencing hearing of a convicted murderer in Atlanta, using his new technique for identifying psychopaths from lack of saccadic eye motion, which he claims outperforms the Hare checklist. While in the United States, he learns that the recently elected President Quentin Carroway has overturned ''Roe v. Wade'' and enacted several measures to reduce the rights of illegal immigrants. While being cross-examined in court, Jim is shocked to discover that he is missing six months of memory from early 2001.

Returning to Winnipeg, Jim consults with his colleague and mentor Menno Warkentin, whom he describes as an elderly professor who was blinded in a car accident. They attribute Jim's memory loss to the trauma of a stabbing at the hands of a stranger that Jim remembers from a New Year's Eve 2000 trip to visit his parents in Calgary. A physicist named Kayla Huron contacts Jim and informs him that her research is also related to psychopathy. As they agree to meet, Jim learns that Kayla is his former girlfriend from the lost period. Over dinner Kayla reveals that she ended their relationship because Jim was abusive towards her, but she believes that he has changed.

Kayla introduces Jim to her collaborator Victoria Chen at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) in Saskatoon. They use the beam to perform a measurement on Jim's brain cells and find that they have three microtubules in a quantum superposition. This is revealed to be part of a taxonomy which they call Q1-Q2-Q3: four-sevenths of all humans have one quantum microtubule in superposition, two-sevenths have two and one-seventh have three, with these numbers only changing as a result of a coma or general anaesthetic. By observing behavioural traits of their test subjects, Kayla and Victoria hypothesize that Q2s are psychopaths, while Q1s are philosophical zombies: non-conscious humans who lack free will and become susceptible to mob mentality. Only Q3s are seen as having critical thinking ability and empathy. Jim and Kayla become romantically involved once again, but Victoria breaks up with her boyfriend after the test identifies him as a Q1.

Meanwhile, Jim begins to reconstruct his past and discovers that his memory of being stabbed is a confabulation. He learns that, along with spending that New Year's Eve in Winnipeg, he participated in a Pentagon-funded study run by Menno and engineering professor Dominic Adler. The study, called Project Lucidity, aimed to create an EEG-like helmet to read articulated thoughts and aid battlefield communication. To overcome the 'background noise' of Jim's inner voice – his conscience – they accidentally caused him to enter a Q1 state during which his memories were indexed differently. Menno reveals that Jim returned to a fully conscious state six months later, and that he and Dominic decided to go their separate ways and maintained secrecy due to a non-disclosure agreement, moral issues due to Menno's Mennonite religion, and concerns that their research could be used to justify discrimination. As Jim continues therapy, he gains access to a memory from the end of his lost period when he had become psychopathic. He is shocked to learn that he killed Dominic in cold blood and blinded Menno before a laboratory device 'rebooted' him into a Q3 state.

As political tensions rise, a series of violent riots erupt across Canada, precipitated by a protest over the Winnipeg Jets' overtime loss in game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals, and the Canadian government under new Prime Minister Naheed Nenshi struggles to restore order. Using the riots as an excuse, Carroway orders an American invasion of Canada. Russian President Vladimir Putin also makes plans to invade Canada, bringing the US and Russia to the brink of war. Jim uses his technique to show Carroway and Putin are psychopaths, and asks Kayla if they can be transitioned from Q2 to Q3, thus averting the crisis. Kayla says that the CLS running at full power can manipulate cranial superposition on a global scale, and that the best solution would be two reboots, resulting in the majority of humans fully conscious and empathetic. However, she refuses to help as she doesn't want her daughter Ryan to become a psychopath. Jim suspects that Kayla had been a psychopath before surgical anesthetic caused her consciousness to reboot; Kayla admits to this and explains it as the reason she has been studying psychopathy.

Jim enlists the help of Victoria, who had lied about Ryan's test and says that the reboots will raise Ryan from a Q1 to a Q3. Menno volunteers to sacrifice himself and keep the CLS running amid lethal doses of radiation. Before Kayla can stop them, the plan comes to fruition and the world enters a new age in which the majority of humans can feel empathy and remorse. As a Q2, Jim decides to have an affair with Victoria. However, Kayla perceives him as a threat and reboots him as a Q3 with Menno's device. Kayla and Victoria wish to remain in the Q2 state. Out of self-interest, Victoria erases their research and Kayla gives Jim custody of Ryan. Convinced of having made an unprecedented move for the greater good, Jim decides to connect with his estranged family.

The novel's prologue sets the point of divergence in early September 1914 in which in the First Battle of the Marne, the German Army overwhelms the French and pushes on to capture Paris, and France surrenders. The 300,000-strong British Expeditionary Force is stopped by the Germans before it can reach a Mediterranean port in which the Royal Navy could have evacuated it and so surrenders. The Allies sign the Treaty of Princeton, which ends the War of 1914 (World War I in our timeline) with the Central Powers victorious.

The novel then jumps to the summer of 1920 in the United States. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson is praised for acting as a mediator to end the European war and decides to run for a third term in the 1920 election despite being bedridden. Thinking that a lasting peace had been achieved, he enacted strong isolationist policies and cut the budget for the US military. The impression proves illusory. German Emperor Wilhelm II views the United States as the only remaining nation that can threaten Germany and prepares for war. He aids the revolutionary forces of Venustiano Carranza in overthrowing the government of Mexico, which then becomes a German ally. The plan is to launch a joint German-Mexican surprise invasion into the Southwestern United States to gain America's vast natural resources for Germany and recover territory lost to the United States in the 19th century for Mexico.

When Woodrow Wilson dies in his sleep, and U.S. Vice President Thomas R. Marshall steps down since he considers himself unequal to the responsibility of the presidency, Secretary of State Robert Lansing is sworn in as president instead. Aware of the invasion threat, Lansing has the US military desperately mobilize a defense, which comes too little and too late as the German Army crosses the Mexican border into California, and the Mexican Army crosses the Rio Grande into Texas.

As a result of Wilson's military budget cuts, the US Army to be poorly trained and equipped and so is easily overrun. German saboteurs cut vital railroad links and telegraph lines and sever most communication between the Southwest and the rest of the country. San Diego and Los Angeles fall into German hands, and the Mexicans burn Laredo and Brownsville. The Imperial German Navy's Pacific Fleet blockades West Coast ports, bombards coastal towns, and traps the US Navy's fleet in San Francisco Bay and Puget Sound. Forced to retreat north, the Americans destroy the refineries of the Los Angeles City Oil Field to deny fuel to the enemy's mechanized army units and the blockade fleet, which slows down the invasion. Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers and the National Guard fight a brutal defensive trench war that significantly impedes the Mexicans.

As the US Army forces in California fortify San Francisco, and the American public rallies to raise more troops to repel the invaders, a coalition of European nations wishing to reduce German influence (composed of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, and Italy) quietly smuggle weapons, equipment, and military advisers to the US through Canada. From the fall of 1920 to the winter of 1921, the Germans slowly advance to San Francisco as a belated flu epidemic kills nearly a million people across the country. The Americans strike back by sinking German resupply freighters with submarines and repulse the Mexican advance after a bloody ″Second Battle of the Alamo.″ A re-equipped US Army under John J. Pershing drives the Mexicans back across the border. Carranza is assassinated by Pancho Villa, and Mexico falls into chaos until Alvaro Obregon takes over and asks Lansing for a status quo antebellum. Lansing agrees to the prewar borders if the US Army receives the right of passage through Mexican territory westwards so that it can retake California from the Germans.

On the eve of battle for San Francisco, General Nolan is killed by German stormtroopers, and Ike Eisenhower is promoted to lead the defense of the city. The German Army finally reaches San Francisco and begins a brutal siege led by Kaiser Wilhelm II's son, Crown Prince Wilhelm. The German Navy blockade ships enter San Francisco Bay to assist but are surprised by an aerial bombardment of US Army Air Corps biplanes, led by Colonel Billy Mitchell and flown by civilian volunteers like Amelia Earhart. As the remaining ships flee the San Francisco Bay, they are engaged in ship-to-ship battle with the remaining battleships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, led by the battleships USS ''Arizona'', the USS ''Pennsylvania'', and the USS ''Nevada''. The battle ends in a stalemate as German battleships ''Koenig'' and ''Thuringen'' are sunk, and the ''Bayern'' runs aground, while the ''Nevada'' is sunk, the ''Arizona'' is beached, and the ''Pennsylvania'' is badly damaged.

The US Army reinforcements reach San Francisco just as the city defenses are overrun and before the Germans' new massed stormtrooper force can take the city, a surprise American counterattack by American troops utilizing smuggled British tanks crashes through their troop formations. The German Army retreats, and Crown Prince Wilhelm is killed by a sniper. The invasion force is eventually cornered in Monterey Bay by US forces from San Francisco and from Pershing's force from the south. The Germans eventually surrender.

Meanwhile, in Russia, Leon Trotsky leads a second revolution that causes Tsar Nicholas II to flee to Germany. To capture him, the newly-formed Soviet Union launches a massive invasion of German-ruled Poland and East Prussia. Humiliated by the defeat in the United States and mourning the loss of his eldest son, Kaiser Wilhelm II steps down. his second son, Prince Eitel Friedrich, takes over and sues for peace with the United States so that he can fight the Soviets. Lansing agrees but forces Germany to pay reparations. The novel ends as peace is negotiated, and Lansing discusses with Winston Churchill the possibilities for the new weapons that were used in the war.

An elderly man named Francis is in the process of designing a movie projector. His wife Elizabeth wonders how much she can continue to support him in this endeavor.

After discovering that San Diego had been destroyed, Madison confronts Strand about his true destination, which Daniel has discovered to be Baja California in Mexico. Strand reveals to the group that he has a safe place in Baja with supplies, and promises that he will take the entire group there, but that they only have limited time to make it. That night, the ''Abigail'' begins to unexpectedly malfunction, and Travis attempts to investigate the issue, which he discovers to be an undead clogging the water intake. While he makes the necessary repairs, Nick, Alicia, Chris, and Daniel use the ''Abigail'''s launch boat to travel ashore to scavenge supplies from a plane crash. Inside the wreckage, Chris finds a severely injured survivor, who begs Chris to kill him; he reluctantly fulfills the man's request. The group is separated when a horde of undead arrive, and Daniel runs into another survivor from the plane crash, Alex, who helps him evade the undead and get back to the launch boat, where he meets with Chris and Alicia. Nick arrives shortly after covered in blood, though he reveals that the blood is not his own but is instead from one of the undead, as he discovers that disguising himself as an infected provides camouflage.

The five of them escape on the launch boat, but Alex requests that they make a brief to stop to rescue another plane crash survivor, Jake, who is severely injured and located on a life raft nearby. They tow the raft back to the ''Abigail'', where Travis has successfully made all repairs. They debate with Strand on whether or not they should take the new survivors aboard; Strand refuses to do so, as he believes that Jake's injured mean he is likely to soon die and then reanimate. The group reaches a compromise by towing the two crash survivors in their life raft. That afternoon, however, Strand unexpectedly cuts the tow line, leaving Alex and Jake adrift on their raft, to the horror of the rest of the group.

As the ''Abigail'' is pursued by an unknown hostile vessel, Nick reviews the logbook that he collected from the capsized sailboat, where he reads that the crew of the vessel came from San Diego, which was firebombed by the military. He tells this to Strand, who previously planned on traveling to San Diego, but Strand remains skeptical. In an attempt to hide from the hostile vessel's radar, the ''Abigail'' docks on a nearby island. As they approach the island, they notice a light flashing on and off in a house near the docks. Daniel and Ofelia stay behind on the boat to keep an eye on Strand, whose intentions Daniel remains suspicious of, while Travis and the others investigate the house, which they discover to be inhabited by a man named George Geary, along with his wife Melissa and children Willa, Harry, and Seth.

Inside the house, George informs the group that every major city on the west coast has been burned down by the military in an attempt to contain the outbreak, confirming what Nick had read in the logbook. The next morning, Travis and his family help George with daily chores, such as eliminating undead that wash up on shore and repairing fences to keep them out. Later that evening, Melissa privately reveals to Madison that she turned the light on and off earlier in an attempt to get the ''Abigail'''s attention, and she requests that Madison's group take Willa and Harry with them when they leave, as she believes there is no future for them on the island. Madison is surprised but begins to consider the offer, though Travis is initially opposed to the idea.

Meanwhile, back aboard the ''Abigail'', Daniel breaks into Strand's quarters, where he finds a submachine gun and a map leading to a small community in Baja, Mexico, which he suspects is Strand's true destination. Inside of the Geary's house, Nick accidentally discovers a container of pills that he believes to be poisonous; he warns Travis and Madison that he suspects George is planning to kill his entire family as part of a suicide pact. This convinces Travis that they should oblige Melissa's request and take the two younger children with them, but this plan is interrupted when they discover that Willa had found and ingested some of the poison, killing her and causing her to reanimate and attack Melissa. The group tries to flee with Harry, but as they board the ''Abigail'', George's oldest son, Seth, arrives and threatens them at gunpoint, demanding that they return Harry. They reluctantly do so, and they leave the island that night when Strand determines that the hostile vessel has left the area.

The group evacuates to the ''Abigail'' as the military firebombs Los Angeles, in an attempt to contain the outbreak. They bring Liza's body, planning to give her a burial at sea. While sailing on open water, the group comes across another boat full of survivors, but Strand refuses to pick them up, despite protests from most of the others. Strand informs the group they are heading to San Diego. At Strand's request, Alicia mans the radio, but hears only distress calls from other vessels. After some time, she manages to get in contact with another seaborne survivor named Jack; the two of them begin exchanging information and regularly speaking. Travis notices Chris and Daniel bonding over their losses. Madison grows concerned at Strand's refusal to sleep, and Daniel tells her that he is suspicious of Strand's motives. Once they are far enough out to sea, the group holds a funeral for Liza and buries her at sea, but Chris suddenly lashes out and prematurely throws her body overboard; when Travis tries to speak with him, he punches Travis and says that he blames him for Liza's death.

Alicia learns from Jack that his boat is taking on water, and he asks if her group would be able to help, since they are close by. Strand rejects her request to help Jack, saying that he has grown tired of the group's constant requests for helping strangers, and threatening to throw overboard anyone who disobeys him. Alicia lets Jack know that her group refused to offer help, and he cryptically responds that he will "see her soon" before ceasing all communication. Later that evening, as the group prepares for dinner, Chris unexpectedly leaps overboard; Nick jumps in after him, only to find several undead floating in the water. They discover that they seem to have came from a nearby capsized sailboat, whose hull is riddled with bullet holes. Nick recovers the ship's logs, and he and Chris return to the ''Abigail''. Shortly after they return, Strand warns that another ship is fast approaching them, which he suspects is hostile.

Kate (Catherine Hickland) is driving alone down a highway in Riverton, Arizona after having left her fiancé at the altar. While driving, she hears the noise of horses galloping outside her car, but sees no one. After pulling onto the side of the road, she is whisked away in a dust cloud and disappears.

Sheriff Langley (Franc Luz) is dispatched to Kate's abandoned car, found later that day. While pulled over, a man on a horse rides by and shoots at him. Langley exits the car, and a stray bullet hits the car's gas tank, causing the vehicle to explode. Langley wanders by foot, stumbling upon a ghost town off the main road. After falling asleep in an empty building, he awakens the next day to various apparitions that appear to be linked to the town's past. He meets a barmaid, Grace (Penelope Windust) and a blind gambling dealer (Bruce Glover), as well as a blacksmith and his daughter, Etta.

Meanwhile, Kate is being held captive by Devlin (Jimmie Skaggs), a zombie-like outlaw who has control over the town through a pact he made with Satan.

Upon discovering his modern gun to be ineffective, Langley is given an old revolver by Grace, and finds that he is able to kill Devlin's henchmen with old bullets.

After finding Kate, Langley is hunted by Devlin's henchmen. The two hide in the abandoned church, which Devlin and his henchmen light on fire. However, Kate and Langley escape. Outside, Langley has a shootout with Devlin, during which Langley effectively destroys him. As he and Kate leave, the souls of the town's residents look on with approval, and the town disappears behind them.

Jura Kablukov is a cheerful, kind, but very unlucky man. He works as a cleaner of historical monuments in Moscow, together with his friend, Fedor, a folk craftsman, who is spoiled with women's attention. Kablukov is divorced and his ex-wife, Svetlana, a millionaire manager of a fashion agency, wants to evict him from their apartment.

Some time ago Kablukov had a strange dream: he, Jura Kablukov, is the French jeweler Auguste Derulen, who lives with his wife, beautiful Polina in Moscow during the October Revolution. On the eve of a search (equivalent to a brazen robbery) committed by "revolutionary" soldiers and sailors, Auguste and Polina hide gold and jewelry into a statue adorning the walls of their apartment.

Ksenia is losing vision catastrophically fast, and because of this, constantly lands into trouble. Ksenia is similar to the jeweler's wife out Jura's dream, and it soon becomes clear that she is a descendant of the Derulen family.

Thus it appears that Jura's dream was prophetic; the events he experienced in the dream truly took place many years ago. On the advice of Fedor, Kablukov's experienced friend, the buddies begin to search for treasures that are still immured in the statue, which is located in Ksenia's apartment.

The story revolves around a carefree boy named Kazuki Hoshino, who is intensely attached to his normal daily life, and Aya Otonashi, who suddenly transfers into his class for the 13,118th time and declares her goal to "break" him forthwith. This starts an avalanche of events, involving a supernatural device known as the Boxes and a supernatural being, which pits the two characters against each other causing their friends to be caught under their crossfire.

The story opens in a Tokyo police station where 34-year-old Lucy Fly is being questioned over the murder of her friend and fellow British expatriate Lily Bridges. Lucy has been in Tokyo for 10 years, is fluent in Japanese, and employed in translating manuals into English. She is evasive in her answers to the police but recounts to the readers what led to her current situation: her estrangement from her family in England, her relationship with Teiji, an enigmatic photographer, and the recent arrival of Lily.

Through flashbacks, we learn that Lucy grew up in East Yorkshire as the youngest child and only daughter of a family of eight children. Lucy was neglected by her parents and bullied by her older brothers. She nearly drowns in the sea without her family noticing, and during a later childhood incident, her older brothers hurl objects at her while she is reading on a tree. Lucy accidentally kills her eldest brother Noah by jumping on him from the tree, causing him to fall onto a nail. Lucy is further traumatised by the incident, which only serves to estrange her further from her family and from other people. She studies foreign languages including French and Japanese, deliberately distancing herself further from her provincial family. Following her university studies, Lucy moves to Japan to work as a translator.

While living in Japan, Lucy befriends Teiji, who works in a noodle shop by day and takes photographs at night, after a chance encounter in the street which leads to casual sex. Lucy quickly develops strong feelings for the enigmatic stranger. Separately, American expatriate Bob introduces Lucy to fellow British expatriate Lily, who also hails from East Yorkshire and is fleeing an abusive relationship back home. Lily is the only one of Lucy's friends to meet Teiji, whom she ordinarily tries to keep to herself. When Lily decides to return home to her abuser, Lucy manipulates her into staying in Japan with the promise of a trip to Sado Island; Teiji decides to accompany them unannounced and a love triangle develops. Lily disappears and is reported missing after a heated argument at Lucy's flat, which leads to Lucy's arrest and questioning which opens the novel after a dismembered body believed to be Lily's washes up in Tokyo Bay. Unknown to Lucy, the dismembered body proves to be misidentified, but shortly after Lily's actual body is found near Lucy's home; in a fit of contrition Lucy falsely confesses to the murder, but she is cleared when CCTV footage shows Lily alive several hours after the supposed time of death - and meeting Teiji, who has disappeared. Lucy is released, and as she recuperates at her friend's house, she believes she hears the clicking of his camera's shutter, and the novel ends unresolved.

An anonymous assassin is sent to infiltrate the St. Petersburg household of Orlov, the son of a minister deemed a "serious enemy", by an unnamed radical cause. While masquerading as a servant, the narrator spies on the household and observes the extravagant and frivolous habits of the wealthy family, and is repelled by Orlov's aloof treatment of his lover Zinaida. He eventually becomes disillusioned with his mission and the purposelessness of life itself, comparing his own deceitfulness with the womanizing Orlov's self-awareness, and abandons his mission.

As the narrator informs, "The Shooting Party" is the name of a manuscript that an unknown author begs a Moscow publisher to read and publish. The narrator agrees at least to read it, and the author says that he will return in three months for the verdict.

Within this manuscript—which makes up the bulk of the book—the narrator is the local magistrate in a rural area. His friend and drinking partner, Count Alexei, lives on a nearby estate with his hard-working bailiff, Urbenin, and Nikolai Efimych, a retailer who has gone insane. Nikolai's daughter Olga also lives on the estate, and is in the midst of a love triangle with the magistrate and Urbenin.

After marrying Urbenin, Olga has an illicit affair with Count Alexei, yet still proclaims her love of the magistrate. During a hunting party in the woods near the estate, Olga wanders off by herself and disappears; she is later found stabbed to death. The initial suspicion falls on Urbenin, who appears with blood on his hands after finding her body. A one-eyed peasant comes forward who may be able to implicate a different killer, but he is murdered in jail before making the profession.

The manuscript concludes with Urbenin's conviction of Olga's murder, and he is sent to Siberia for a sentence of nineteen years at hard labor. A postscript written by the publisher identifies the real killer as the unknown author of the manuscript.

Elaine, a beautiful young witch, is driving to Arcata, California, a town which tolerates witchcraft, to start a new life after the death of her husband Jerry. It is heavily implied that Elaine may have murdered him. Once there, she rents an apartment in a Victorian home owned by Elaine's mentor Barbara and kept up by its interior decorator, Trish Manning. In an attempt to befriend the young woman, Trish takes Elaine to a teahouse, where she is met by her husband Richard, who is instantly besotted with Elaine after meeting her gaze. Hoping to find a new lover, Elaine performs a ritual to find one and soon meets Wayne, a literature professor at the local college.

The two travel to Wayne's cabin, where she gets him to drink a concoction containing hallucinogens. Once the two have sex Wayne becomes emotional and clingy which proves to be a turnoff for Elaine. He dies the next day and Elaine buries his body along with a witch bottle containing her urine and used tampon. She decides that the next man she will try to seduce will be Richard since he is married and cannot obsess over her. While Trish is away, Elaine invites him over to her apartment, where she also serves him a concoction before seducing him with a dance. The night ends with them having sex. Afterwards, Richard becomes obsessed with Elaine, causing her to abandon their affair.

Unbeknownst to Elaine, one of Wayne's colleagues has reported him missing, leading to police officer Griff to investigate and discover Wayne's body and Elaine's witch bottle. He traces it to Elaine, but falls in love with her and initially refuses to believe that she would be capable of murder, much to the ire of his partner Steve. Elaine shares his love and believes him to be the man of her dreams, even going so far as to hold a mock wedding with her coven at a Renaissance faire.

Griff's superior educates him on the tenuous peace between the town and the witches, then tells him to abandon the pursuit of Elaine as a suspect. When his partner Steve pushes him, he reveals that Wayne died of a heart attack and that the devil's weed found in his system grew around his cabin. For the first time it is revealed that Jerry died from a drug overdose shortly before remarrying, even though he did not take drugs.

Meanwhile, a morose Richard kills himself in his bathtub and is discovered by Trish. Despondent, she invites Elaine to tea again and tries on a ring that Griff gave Elaine during their mock wedding, only to forget to return the ring to Elaine. Trish decides to leave the ring inside Elaine's apartment, but in doing so discovers a shrine to Elaine's dead lovers, and that Richard was one of them. She is caught by Elaine, and the two fight before Trish leaves the apartment with evidence tying Elaine to Richard.

Elaine then goes to the cabaret to meet Griff, who confronts her over the deaths of Wayne and Richard. He tells her that she is tied to both of them by DNA evidence left in Wayne's witch bottle and that items Trish gave him implicate her in Richard's suicide. Despite his earlier love, Griff is unwilling to let Elaine go unpunished. Their conversation is overheard by the cabaret patrons who are prejudiced towards witches and attempt to sexually assault Elaine. Griff helps her escape and the two return to her apartment.

Once safe inside, Elaine concocts a drink for him like she did for the others, but he drops it on the floor instead of drinking it. Realizing that he was correct when telling her that no man can ever love her enough, she shrinks back in disbelief, grabs her athame and stabs him in the heart. With Griff dead, life has imitated art and matches the painting on the wall of them dressed like at their mock wedding and her kneeling over his body with a bloody dagger. In delirium, she smiles and imagines them at their wedding and that Griff actually proposed.

In this drama series, Yoshito Takuma (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi) works together with his former team, consisting of Chinami Anekoji (Kaho Minami), Yuiko Matsubara (Sei Asahina), Kohei Horikawa (Yuta Hiraoka) and newcomer Maria Azuma (Natsuna Watanabe), to solve a variety of cases.

Ethan (Miller) and Sean (Gilchrist) are tech-savvy high-school teenagers who decide to prank their neighbor Harold Grainey (Caan) by convincing him that his house is haunted. When Grainey leaves home one morning, the two set up equipment to simulate the haunting, as well as hidden cameras that will broadcast Grainey's reactions.

As the basis for a school project, Ethan requests Sean's assistance in setting up hidden cameras at Grainey's home so both can view a person's unfiltered reaction to being haunted by a poltergeist, despite Sean's initial reservations. The cameras are set up so that both can monitor Grainey's reactions for six weeks live from computers in Ethan's bedroom. Grainey has a reputation for being hostile, a recluse, and a "creepy old man" in the neighborhood, which makes it easier for Ethan to justify choosing him as his subject.

Ethan starts to initiate activities aimed at unsettling Grainey to make him believe the house is haunted, including making the kitchen door bang loudly in the middle of the night, disabling the heating system (which causes the bedroom window to shatter because of the freezing temperature), and activating the stereo in the middle of the night.

Throughout the movie, we are shown flashforwards to a criminal trial and flashbacks of Grainey and his wife. These flashbacks are all linked with the "paranormal" activities that the boys try to use to unsettle Grainey. For example, a flashback shows Grainey's wife dancing to music at 3 a.m. and crying, and one of the activities the boys do is play the same song at a similar time. Another example is how Grainey's wife used to complain about the door not shutting correctly and banging. The first activity the boys did was slam the door continuously, leading to Grainey destroying it with an axe.

Sean and Ethan are mystified by Grainey's ability to withstand all these strange occurrences. In one instance, they observe Grainey being disturbed by all the strange noises and then going down to the house's basement. The duo is not able to observe what he does, as they were not able to set up a camera there as the door was locked. Grainey goes down at about 11:30 p.m. and only emerges after 7:30 a.m. This leaves Ethan perplexed, and he vows to determine the reason. They then try calling the police, claiming they heard a woman screaming in his basement. The police officer arrives and Grainey allows him to look in the basement, and the officier leaves after being satisfied there is nothing of concern.

Ethan begins to push for them to break into Grainey's basement, but Sean refuses. In an argument with Ethan, Sean discloses to Ethan that he knows the true reason why Ethan has targeted Grainey: Grainey was responsible for sending Ethan's father to jail many years ago. Ethan's father was an alcoholic who beat his wife regularly. During one such episode, Ethan's mother ran to Grainey for help. Grainey informed the police, which led to Ethan's father being jailed and ultimately getting divorced from his wife. Ethan believes Grainey is responsible for destroying his family and making him lose his father. In the meantime, Ethan throws a Halloween party, and Sean and his new girlfriend decide to make out in a spare bedroom. His girlfriend notices a camera installed on top of the bed, which leaves Sean enraged.

Sean asks Ethan to return all his equipment, but Ethan refuses, threatening Sean with the fact that the equipment was purchased using his credit card and that it is covered in Sean's fingerprints. In the middle of their argument, they observe Grainey's cat toppling over one of the living room cameras. Ethan runs to his home to collect the camera, and in doing so finds the basement door unlocked. He goes down to find that Grainey had made a shrine to his late wife in the basement. Ethan lifts a bell which Grainey gifted his wife, causing the bell to make a sound which awakes Grainey. Fearing for his safety, Ethan hides in the living room, placing the bell on a table. Grainey sees the bell and kills himself with his gun.

It is then revealed in a series of flashbacks that Grainey loved his wife dearly, and he had set up a room where he could take care of her, including arranging a nurse. The viewer then realizes that every activity performed by the boys related to Grainey's wife somehow, and Grainey is convinced that he is being haunted by his wife. A flashback is shown when Grainey first gives her the bell, saying that whenever she needed him, she only had to ring the bell. The bell noise that woke him and the fact that the bell was on the table leads Grainey to believe it was as a sign that his wife wants him to be with her, which is why he killed himself.

Ethan and Sean are arrested and sentenced to two years' probation and 500 hours of community service. Leaving the courthouse, Sean and the girls seem to share a glance and head in opposite directions. Ethan is surrounded by a slew of reporters and cameras. Having finally gained the attention he admitted to craving in an earlier scene, a slight smile appears on his face.

In January, 1988, in Denver, Colorado, helicopter news pilot Mike Silva (Robert Beltran) flies over Denver to allow his cameraman Jim Stair (Paul Borrillo) to get aerial shots of the area. Working for his local news station, KCNC-TV, Silva has plans to become a Meteorologist pilot in the near future. Meanwhile, escaped Texas convict Phillip Hutchinson, under the alias of Mark Taylor (Casey Siemaszko) has resided in Denver where he works as a car mechanic. While working in Denver, Hutchinson carries out various different crimes including the armed robbery of a local store and the mugging of a courier delivering some money, whom he beats up with a crowbar. A witness spots Hutchinson fleeing in a red Chevrolet K5 Blazer and reports it to the police. Hutchinson then has his coworker Tom (Jimmie F. Skaggs) repaint the vehicle brown to avoid investigation. Through his coworker, Hutchinson meets a girl called Roxanne (Sheila Kelley) who he starts a relationship with.

Detective Bob Wallis (Barry Corbin) and another detective from Texas called Hammer (Gailard Sartain) begin an investigation into Hutchinson's activities. Wallis's son Dale (Anthony Tyler Quinn) is a cop also, and his wife is expecting a baby. Bob Wallis has plans to leave the force and spend more time with his family and soon to be grandchild, as he regrets not being around much for his son when he was younger. The story also follows a girl called Tammie (Ricki Lake) who works as a bank teller at the Rio Grande Operating Credit Union office in Denver. While working there, Tammie reveals to her friend and coworker that she is fairly insecure about her appearance due to being overweight and lacks self-confidence in herself. Another girl who lives in Denver called Gloria Whipple (Megan Follows) struggles to pay her bills and get to work on time. Her boyfriend Julian (Daniel Quinn) is a drug addict and gives her virtually no support and she hasn't the strength to tell him she is expecting a baby. Hutchinson meanwhile remains very cautious and doesn't reveal to Roxanne too much of his former life. One evening when he returns home, he finds Roxanne has gone through his personal belongings in his apartment. Enraged, Hutchinson chases her out of his apartment and smashes her car window as she drives away, thus ending the relationship.

A month later on February 9, 1988, Wallis is now a grandfather and plans on leaving the force soon. Tammie still works at the Union office and Whipple reconnects with her father (Paul Collins), whom she had a brief falling out with in the past. Hutchinson snaps on this particular date and decides to rob the Union office as he has plans to flee the country and move to Brazil. He holds up the place with a gun and demands Tammie to hand over any cash in the office and place it into a suitcase he is carrying. Tammie activates a silent alarm with her foot and the police respond immediately. Hutchinson flees in his Blazer and Silva gets word about the robbery from the sky. He flies over to the scene of the crime so Stair can catch the police chase on camera. Officers descend on the scene and try to cut Hutchinson off. Wallis is one of them, but he gets pinned down in his car due to a faulty seat-belt and by the time he manages to get out of his car, he is mowed down by Hutchinson in his Blazer and is killed instantly. Hutchinson then crashes his car and flees on foot where he encounters Whipple and her boyfriend Julian. Julian runs off and Hutchinson attempts to carjack her. She manages to flee and escape as Hutchinson fires off a few rounds at the car, smashing the back windshield. Hutchinson then encounters John Laurienti (Ben Johnson) and his disabled daughter. He carjacks Laurienti and hides in the passenger seat of Laurienti's truck, ordering him to drive past the approaching police. Laurienti drives past the police officers who are looking for Hutchinson, but they are unaware Hutchinson is even in the vehicle as they lost sight of him after Wallis's death. Only Silva and Stair are aware of the truth but are unable to communicate to the police and inform them of Hutchinson's whereabouts. To prevent Hutchinson from escaping and potentially killing Laurienti, Silva decides to fly the helicopter directly in front of the truck and lands the helicopter on the road, preventing the truck from going any further. Officers then surround Hutchinson and ram the truck to stop him from firing off any rounds. Laurienti is pulled free unharmed, and Hutchinson is then shot dead by police after attempting to kill Laurienti and the approaching police.

At the end of the film, it is revealed that Whipple has now ended her relationship with Julian and is in a much stronger relationship with her father, who is supporting her during her pregnancy. Wallis's son Dale gives a speech at his father's funeral and breaks down over the sudden death of his father. Tammie plans to head off to College for three years to study a degree and appears a lot more self-confident in herself than before, and Laurienti gets given a new white truck on behalf of KCNC-TV.

The play is set in Paris in the middle of the 19th century, on the morning of the day on which Fadinard, a well-to-do bachelor, is to marry Hélène Nonancourt, daughter of a suburban market-gardener. Hélène, together with her cantankerous father and a fleet of eight cabs full of wedding guests, is on her way. Fadinard has ridden ahead to make final arrangements. On the way, his horse has eaten a straw hat hung on a bush. The hat belonged to Anaïs, an ex-girlfriend of Fadinard's, who has been dallying behind the bush with her lover, Émile. She and Émile have followed Fadinard to his house, and they insist on a replacement hat, explaining that Anaïs's husband is obsessively jealous and would demand to know the circumstances in which she lost her original hat.

Just as Fadinard rushes out in search of a replacement, Hélène and the wedding-party arrive. Assuming that he is on his way to the ceremony, they get back into their cabs and follow him. Fadinard discovers that finding an identical hat is not as easy as he imagined. His search first takes him to a milliner (Clara), then to an aristocrat (la baronne de Champigny), and then to a bachelor (Achille de Rosalba); on each occasion, the wedding party arrives hot on his heels. The chase ends outside Fadinard's house when one of the wedding-guests, his old uncle, Vézinet, produces his present, an Italian straw hat identical to the one eaten by the horse: the wedding is saved and the play ends in general celebration.

Bruce (David Mazouz) and Selina (Camren Bicondova) steal money from a thief. While fleeing on rooftops, Bruce purposefully spills out most of the money to the street below. He justifies this to Selina, saying he is mainly doing research on Gotham crime, which angers her. Hearing news about Gordon's escape, Barnes (Michael Chiklis) confronts Bullock (Donal Logue) about sheltering Gordon, but he denies any involvement. At Arkham Asylum, Professor Hugo Strange (B. D. Wong) decides to release Barbara (Erin Richards) after she shows no signs of mental illness, feeling it is best to observe her new behavior rather than experimenting on her.

Bullock reveals that IA secretly records all anonymous tips and uses his connection with a woman at IA so Gordon can retrieve the tape. The voice on the tape is distorted so he goes to Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) for help, but Edward says he finds no evidence on the tape. Gordon initially deduces the culprit may be former Commissioner Loeb's corrupt cops, whom he calls "psycho", which draws ire from Nygma. After finally listening to the tape, Gordon realizes Nygma is the real culprit and holds him at gunpoint. However, Nygma previously developed a device that he placed under Gordon's seat, which he subsequently uses to shock and knock him out.

Gordon wakes up and successfully escapes from Nygma. Shaking off Nygma's pursuit, Gordon reaches Bruce and Selina's hideout and collapses. The two take Gordon to Wayne Manor to be tended by Alfred (Sean Pertwee) and Bruce. Thinking of a way to lure out Nygma, Gordon sends Selina to the GCPD to put out false reports about him visiting Cobblepot. This panics Nygma, which makes him go to the woods and dig up Kristen Kringle's corpse where Gordon confronts him. Nygma retrieves his gun and confesses to the murders before they're surrounded by the GCPD including Barnes and Bullock. Nygma is arrested and taken to Arkham Asylum.

Meanwhile, Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor) and the Dahl family attend his father Elijah's funeral. Not wanting to be left on the streets, Cobblepot works as a housekeeper at the mansion for the Dahls. They treat him poorly over a few days, until he discovers the poison they used to kill his father. While serving dinner to Grace (Melinda Clarke), Cobblepot reveals he discovered the bottle. To Grace's horror, Cobblepot reveals that her dinner is the remains of her children. He kills Grace shortly after.

At the GCPD, Barnes apologizes to Gordon and gives him Lee's (Morena Baccarin) number, who's working for a medical examiner in the South. Gordon then decides to continue investigating the Waynes' murder to find out who contracted Matches Malone to do it. Bruce discovers his father's computer was fixed and decides to stay, causing Selina to leave angrily. Bruce and Alfred examine the computer, while Gordon calls Lee but decides not to speak. Someone knocks at his door and Gordon opens it, to reveal Barbara.

In Year One, former figure skater Eric "Bitty" Bittle joins the Samwell Men's Hockey Team where his cheerful personality and baking wins over fellow teammates "Shitty" Knight, Adam "Holster" Birkholtz, Justin "Ransom" Oluransi and team manager Larissa "Lardo" Duan. Bitty displays a fear of checking, often curling up into a ball on the ice when someone tries, earning him the ire of team captain Jack Zimmermann, the son of hockey legend Bad Bob Zimmermann. Jack helps Bitty through his fear with early morning checking practices while Bitty finds the courage to come out as homosexual. Jack and Bitty maintain a fraught relationship, complicated when Bitty scores in front of Bad Bob and is later put on Jack's line. During the playoffs, Bitty agrees to a risky play that leaves him with a mild concussion. Despite the team winning the game, they ultimately lose the playoffs. Bitty is given the room of graduating team goalie Johnson in the hockey team's frat house ("the Haus") and reconciles with Jack, who is voted team captain again, before they part ways for the summer.

In Year Two, Bitty's fear of checking returns worse than ever due to his concussion and he faces potentially being cut from the team. However, Jack helps Bitty through his checking phobia once more and he retains his spot on the team. Joining the team in Bitty's sophomore year are goalie Christopher "Chowder" Chow and defensemen William "Dex" Poindexter and Derek "Nursey" Nurse. Bitty often finds himself mediating for the latter two who are constantly at each others throats despite being paired up on the ice due to their differing views caused by coming from two very different worlds. Now friends with Jack, who faces decisions regarding his own professional hockey future, while working together on a class project, Bitty realizes that he is falling in love with his team captain, feelings which only grow deeper as time goes on. The team makes it to the NCAA Frozen Four, but loses their last game. At the end of the year, Ransom and Holster are elected co-captains while Jack, who signs with the Providence Falconers expansion team, buys a new oven to replace Bitty's old one after it breaks down for good. Jack and Shitty graduate with Shitty heading off for Harvard law school, but Bitty can't bring himself to admit his feelings to Jack. After a talk with his father, Jack rushes back to the Haus and surprises Bitty with a kiss before having to leave again.

In Year Three, Bitty and Jack have officially begun dating over the summer, but keep their relationship a complete secret to protect Jack's hockey career. Joining the team is excitable Tony "Tango" Tangredi, reserved Connor "Whiskey" Whisk and later new manager Denise Ford, a theater major, while Jack becomes close friends with Alexei "Tater" Mashkov, an extremely friendly and extroverted Russian player on the Falconers. Jack and Bitty struggle with the pressures of keeping their relationship a complete secret, Bitty in particular, leading to Bitty having an emotional breakdown. The two reveal their relationship to their closest friends who had already figured it out, but kept quiet out of respect. Jack and Bitty later reveal their relationship to Jack's parents and to the Falconers who also prove to be supportive, Tater in particular. SMH gets knocked out of the playoffs early, but Jack's career with the Falconers soars and he is elected alternate captain partway through his rookie year while Bitty is elected captain of the Samwell team for his senior year on a rare unanimous vote. Living with Jack throughout the summer, Bitty struggles with telling his parents who don't know that he's gay, particularly Bitty's father Richard "Coach" Bittle with whom Bitty has always had a distant and difficult relationship. The Falconers win the Stanley Cup and Bitty and Jack share a kiss on center ice, coming out to the world.

In Year Four, Jack and Bitty have to deal with the aftermath of their public coming out which also revealed their relationship and Bitty's sexuality to his parents. After Coach Bittle comes to Samwell for Family Weekend, an explosive confrontation between father and son over Coach's apparent inability to recognize Bitty's relationship leads the two to reconcile and develop a closer relationship. Jack is invited to spend Christmas in Georgia with Bitty's family where, after some initial tension, Bitty's parents prove to be accepting and supportive of their relationship. At the same time, Bitty leads the Samwell Men's Hockey Team through a stellar season, joined by freshmen Johnathan "Hops" Hopper, River "Bully" Bullard and the Swedish Lukas "Louis" Landmann. Adding to Bitty's struggles, he is the first openly gay NCAA men's hockey captain, garnering Bitty attention from the media and fans that is both good and bad which Bitty takes as a chance to become a role model to those like himself. Tension between Dex and Nursey after they are forced to share a room causes Dex to move into the Haus basement while Bitty accidentally discovers Whiskey kissing a lacrosse player and is frustrated by Whiskey's constant rebuffing of Bitty's efforts to befriend him. The Samwell team makes it to the Frozen Four where Bitty skates through a massive check from a homophobic player on the other team and checks the other player so hard that they are both flung into the Samwell bench and Bitty loses a tooth; Samwell ends up winning the NCAA championship.

At the end of the comic, Bitty decides to give his room in the Haus to Whiskey, leading to the two finally talking about the kiss Bitty witnessed and Whiskey's struggles and Dex is elected the team's new captain. Bitty gives a class speech encouraging people to find a place where they can be themselves and accepts Jack's marriage proposal. After graduating, Bitty signs a deal to write his own cookbook and dedicates his vlog to covering his work on the cookbook with Jack as his first guest star.

Prisons officer Sergeant Aiman Yusof has just been transferred from "Commonwealth" (referring to the former Queenstown Remand Prison) to the fictional Larangan Prison, the state's maximum security prison. Due to his vocational education background, he is assigned to watch the rehabilitating prisoners at the prison's workshop. Later on, while helping a colleague, Sergeant Joseph, to clear some stores at the prison gallows, he encounters the Chief Executioner, Senior Chief Warder (1) Rahim. He volunteers to help Rahim find suitable rope for the gallows, and the two men soon strike up a friendship.

At home, Aiman informs his older sister, Suhaila, of his encounter with the hangman. This puts a strain on the siblings' relationship; Suhaila is displeased with Aiman's dealings at work, particularly because their father Yusof Ibrahim was sentenced to death thirty years ago for murder, leading to them being raised by their grandfather Ibrahim Fazril, while Aiman appears to disapprove of Suhaila's relationship with John, an Australian expat.

At work, Joseph reveals to Aiman that he has stepped down as Rahim's assistant because, when tasked with carrying out an execution, he could not bring himself to pull the lever. Aiman agrees to become Rahim's new apprentice. Suhaila calls Aiman to announce her engagement to John. Aiman does not take it well, and out of spite, tells Suhaila that he is now the hangman's assistant, greatly angering Suhaila. Meanwhile, Rahim teaches Aiman the tricks of the trade and shares his knowledge and experience with him, and their mentor-mentee bond grows stronger.

Aiman finally receives first-hand experience with an execution. He ushers death-row inmate Randy to the gallows, where Rahim offers Randy words of consolation before performing the execution. Distraught with the experience, Aiman tries to call Suhaila to no avail. He rushes home to find the house empty; Suhaila has presumably left for Australia with John.

In the meantime, Rahim checks on Aiman's security clearance and finds out that Aiman's father had been sentenced to death a long time ago; he recognises him as one of the people he had executed long time ago. When Aiman returns to work, Rahim tells him that his father's criminal record ought to have precluded him from taking up a role pertaining to execution, and that his failure to disclose such was an offence. Aiman argues that his father's past should not have any bearing on his employment and others' impressions of him. The two men get into a heated argument; Aiman questions Rahim's ethics, and Rahim chides Aiman for speaking out of line. When things cool down, Rahim says Aiman can expect disciplinary actions. When Aiman returns home, he sends a voice message to Suhaila to let her know that he could lose his job.

Rahim is involved in a road traffic accident and is hospitalized. Assistant Superintendent James Tan puts Aiman in charge of an upcoming execution, implying that not only might Aiman not have been charged, his career with the prisons department may have taken a turn for the better. The next morning, Suhaila calls Aiman about her arrival in Australia. She checks with Aiman to confirm if he will be charged; Aiman responds "maybe not". She then reassures him and lets him know that, as his older sister, she will always be there for him.

The day of the execution arrives. The death-row inmate is ushered towards Aiman, with a number of important persons observing. Aiman leads the inmate to the gallows, puts the noose around the inmate's neck and places his hands on the lever that activates the trap doors. The screen goes black.

The film spans one week, beginning with Monday, in the life of Paterson, a bus driver in Paterson, New Jersey. Every day follows much the same pattern: Paterson gets up early and goes to work, where he listens to passengers talking and, during pauses, writes poetry in a notebook he carries with him. After work he walks Marvin, his wife's dog, and stops for a beer at Shades Bar, where he interacts with the other patrons and the owner, Doc (Barry Shabaka Henley).

Paterson's wife, Laura, loves his poems and has long urged him to publish them or at least make copies. He finally promises to go to the copy shop on the weekend. But when Paterson and Laura come home from a movie Saturday night, they find that Marvin has shredded his notebook, destroying his poems.

The next day, a dejected Paterson goes for a walk and sits down at his favorite site, the Great Falls of the Passaic River. There, a Japanese man (Masatoshi Nagase) takes a seat beside him and begins a conversation about poetry after Paterson notices that the man is reading the book-length poem ''Paterson'' by William Carlos Williams. The man seems to know that Paterson himself is a poet even though he denies it and hands him a gift, an empty notebook. The film ends with Paterson writing a poem in his new notebook.

Maureen Cartwright is a personal shopper in Paris for Kyra, an entitled supermodel. Maureen waits for her twin brother, Lewis, who recently died of a genetic heart condition, to fulfill their shared oath of sending a signal from the afterlife. Maureen stays overnight at Lewis's home in hopes of receiving a sign and briefly encounters a spiritual presence. Lewis's girlfriend, Lara, goes with Maureen to meet a couple formerly acquainted with Lewis who are interested in purchasing the house. The wife mentions the artist Hilma af Klint whose paintings were inspired by messages from the spirit world. Later, Maureen video chats with her friend, Gary, a contractor in Muscat, Oman, who encourages her to stay with him, which she turns down.

The next day at Kyra's apartment Maureen meets Ingo, a magazine editor and Kyra's lover. Ingo comments that Kyra is planning to break up with him out of fear her husband will discover their relationship. Later, Maureen returns to Lewis's home and is disturbed by the bathroom's faucets turning on. After inspecting the house, Maureen finds her drawings have been violently scratched out, and she is terrorized by a malefic female specter.

Maureen begins receiving text messages from an unknown sender that she initially suspects to be Lewis. The messenger encourages her to indulge in forbidden desires, such as wearing Kyra's clothes. Maureen goes to Kyra's place to wear her clothes and subsequently pleasures herself in Kyra's bed. She falls asleep and is awoken by the same female specter at Lewis's home, and tells Lara the following morning that there is no longer a supernatural presence in the home.

The enigmatic messenger leaves Maureen a room key for a hotel. Donning one of Kyra's newest dresses, Maureen goes to the hotel to find an empty room. She attempts to investigate the texter's identity by inquiring at the front desk, only to discover that the room was pre-paid in cash under her name.

Maureen drops off Kyra's jewelry at the apartment, and cautiously opens Kyra's bedroom door to find Kyra's naked corpse on the bathroom floor. Maureen flees on her motorcycle to the police station, where she is interrogated about her relationship with Kyra. She is eventually released and ignores the texter, who demands to know if Maureen revealed their conversations to the police. Returning to her own apartment, Maureen phones Gary to take up his offer of staying in Muscat. Maureen discovers that she has the jewelry in her apartment, despite telling the police she left it at Kyra's place. The texter demands that Maureen return to the hotel room, which she proceeds to with the jewelry. In the hotel, Maureen seemingly recognizes the clandestine person entering the room. Elevators and doors in the hotel are then shown opening and closing for an invisible entity. Afterwards, Ingo is shown leaving the hotel and is apprehended by two policeman, and confesses to murdering Kyra.

Meeting with Lara at a restaurant, Maureen asks to stay with her before joining Gary in Oman. The next morning, Maureen meets Erwin, Lara's new lover and Lewis's friend. He leaves for work, and as Maureen sits in the garden alone, a figure can be seen in the kitchen holding a glass. The figure disappears and the glass levitates briefly before shattering on the floor.

Maureen flies to Oman to stay with Gary in the mountains. At his retreat, Maureen hears a noise and finds a glass floating in the air; it falls and shatters. She questions the entity, who frustratingly responds to her questions with a single thump. Stricken with emotion, Maureen repeatedly asks, "Lewis, is it you?", during the silence before finally asking, "Or is it just me?", and receives a replying thud.

The van Peteghems, rich and inbred industrialists, are visiting their summer mansion above the bay. On the other side of the creek are the Bruforts, fisherfolk with an unusual diet who also ferry people across the bay. The police are investigating because several visitors to the bay have never returned.

The eldest son of the Bruforts, called Ma Loute, falls in love with Billie, the eldest van Peteghem girl. When he discovers she has male organs, in disgust he takes her to the family farm where they store their meat. There she is kept with her mother and uncle, also destined for the cooking pot. With three of the influential van Peteghems missing, the police call in the army. Ma Loute, maybe with some scruples, dumps the three captives in the dunes, where they are found and rejoin their family.

Ma Loute finds happiness with the van Petteghem's maid, who is working class and wholly female. The unfortunate Billie faces an uncertain future.

Stéphane, a renowned fashion photographer, lives in seclusion in a dilapidated house in the Paris suburbs, together with his daughter and muse Marie. Stéphane is obsessed with his wife's unexpected death and creates her daguerreotypes every day, using his daughter as a photomodel. In order for him to do so, Marie has to remain immobile for a long time, wearing an old-fashioned blue dress.

Jean, a young Parisian and the new assistant of Stéphane, falls in love with Marie. He is disturbed by the long photo sessions and, together with Marie, tries to figure out how to free Stéphane from his obsession. Jean decides to convince Stéphane to sell his real estate. The money received for the sale may be used to start a life elsewhere—both for Jean who wants to live with Marie and for the photographer who can recreate his photography studio. But things do not go as planned.

Many of the characters from Gardens of the Moon and Memories of Ice make a return in this novel.

Prologue

The prologue is divided into four separate scenes.

The first is in a "necropolis of sorts", where two people, who are revealed to be dead, witness a meeting between Hood, Edgewalker, Shadowthrone and Anomander Rake, though they are not privy to what is discussed.

The second is set in the realm of Dragnipur, where it is suggested that the Wagon is becoming very difficult to pull, as more souls keep dying. While on the horizon, Chaos steadily advances on the Gate of Kurald Galain.

The third scene plays out in a village, where two girls notice the departure of a dog, and decide to follow.

And the last scene is by a fire on an empty plain (likely in Kruppe's dream world), where Kruppe asks K'rul to witness him dance.

Mappo Runt is anxious to find Icarium, who is on the Letheri continent. He hires the Trygalle Trade Guild to take him to that distant continent and is accompanied by Gruntle, who does this because he is irritated by all the attention from the acolytes and priestess of Trake, the new God of War.

Black Coral

He has a desperate plan to face what seems inevitable, but little does he know that a blind Tiste Andii has an agenda of his own.

The memoir begins with descriptions of life in the town of Gürün, in modern-day Turkey. Panian describes his large family and the idyllic childhood he spent in his hometown, where his grandfather owned vast orchards. When Panian was only five years old, World War I began, quickly followed by the beginning of the Armenian genocide. Deportations from Armenian towns and villages began, and soon, it was the turn of Panian and his family in Gürün. Panian describes the deportation and his family's experience as they made their way, through the Syrian desert, to refugee camps in the Syrian cities of Homs and Hama. In Hama, Panian's family has its first casualties, and soon, his mother dies. His grandparents, in order to save him, decide to hand him over to an orphanage outside the refugee camp. Then, from there, the Ottoman authorities move Panian and other boys to the Collège Saint Joseph – Antoura, in Antoura, Lebanon. At the time, the College was a monastery that had been taken over by the Ottoman forces. The orphanage, which was the brainchild of Ottoman Minister of Navy Djemal Pasha and was at least partly administered by the famous Turkish feminist Halide Edib Adıvar, was, in fact, another project of the Armenian genocide: its purpose was to Turkify the hundreds of Armenian children who were virtually prisoners in the institution. Panian narrates how he and his fellow orphans often stubbornly resisted Turkification, despite appalling beatings and starvation rations. Often, he and his friends snuck out into the neighboring fields to steal fruits and vegetables to satiate their hunger. Panian even tells of boys crushing the bones of their peers who had died and had been buried in shallow graves outside the gates, and then mixing the powdered bones with water and drinking the concoction. Eventually, Panian and a few boys escaped the orphanage and sought shelter in a cave in the nearby mountains. After a few weeks of living on the run, the boys decided to return to the orphanage, only to discover that the war was over, their Turkish teachers and caretakers had left, and the orphans left unsupervised. Soon, French and Armenian soldiers (the latter serving with the French forces) arrived, and rescued the children.

The plot follows the members of Golubović family (father, mother, their son, his wife and their two children), in the time of sanctions and difficulty. Each member is confronted by their own daily struggles and everyone is looking for solutions.

The movie opens with the Japanese military's failed attempt to capture whoever it is that has destroyed over 70% of the Moon, which sees the entire squad sent to capture it being attacked by a mysterious tentacled being.

Meanwhile, Nagisa Shiota, a ninth-grade student of Kunugigaoka Junior High School, narrates of how he came to be sent to the situation he is in: he is included in Class 3-E, which is reserved for delinquents and other undesirables of the school and is a laughing stock among the school. However, Class 3-E is actually a cover up for the Japanese government in their attempt to kill Koro-sensei, a tentacled mutant creature that apparently is responsible for the Moon's destruction. The students have to assassinate him before graduation, the time when he plans to destroy Earth, using special knives and BB pellets, but at the same time also have to study both academic and assassination disciplines from him. In teaching, Koro-sensei is assisted by the government-affiliated Tadaomi Karasuma and Irina Jelavić, a Serbian assassin.

Despite being fully aware that he is their ultimate target, Koro-sensei is able to bond with Class 3-E, who in turn regard him as their indispensable teacher. When asked why he took the job, he says it is done to fulfill a promise made to someone. Throughout the school term, Class 3-E welcomes three additional students: Karma Akabane, who has recently come out of his suspension due to protecting a former Class 3-E pupil from being bullied by Class 3-A students; "Ritsu", an AI-box displaying the form of a girl; and Itona Horibe, the also-tentacled self-proclaimed "blood brother" of Koro-sensei who is carried away from the school by his cloaked guardian after losing a match against the latter. At one time, Karasuma's position as P.E. teacher is briefly replaced by his rival, Akira Takaoka, a drill instructor-esque individual. Karasuma is then challenged by Takaoka to send a student to attack him with a tap of the knife. Karasuma then sends out Nagisa who successfully plants the tip of the knife on Takaoka, thereby expelling him from the school.

Before the finals, Koro-sensei promises that the top scorers of the five academic subjects (Chemistry, English, Home Economics, Japanese, and Maths) will be awarded chance to cut his rubber-like tentacles, which will greatly slow him. When the results for the finals are out, a total of six students are able to top the finals, including three students who got the first rank on the Home Economics test, thus granting the six the chance to cut Koro-sensei's tentacles. The students plan the killing during the summer holiday, where they reminisce about their kind past teacher, Aguri Yukimura. Eventually, Class 3-E manages to bind Koro-Sensei thanks to Nagisa's observation of his weakness: water. However, Koro-sensei transforms into a ball to avoid being killed. Suddenly, the class is interrupted by a vengeful Takaoka, who poisons several students. He agrees to trade the antidotes for Koro-sensei.

Nagisa and Karma team up to incapacitate Itona, now working for Takaoka, by luring him into open rain and subsequently cutting his tentacles. However, they are alerted by Ritsu that Takaoka has kidnapped Kaede Kayano and threatens to kill her unless Koro-sensei is handed over. With a trick, Class 3-E turns the table over and defeats Takaoka without giving in. Seeing that Koro-sensei is vulnerable, the government takes him and proceeds to do a public execution in front of his grieving students. However, he manages to survive the attempted killing and is allowed to continue teaching Class 3-E for the next term, with Itona now enrolling permanently. Koro-sensei then reminisces about the person he made his promise with: Aguri Yukimura.

In 1556, Don Aguirre leads Spanish conquistadors to South America to search for the Lágrimas de Cristal Tree, whose flowers cure illness, heal injuries, and lift curses. After many conquistadors die, the Puka Michuna tribe heals the sickened survivors with the Tree's flowers. When the tribal chief refuses to reveal the Tree's location, Aguirre stabs him and burns the village. The dying chief curses the conquistadors, making them immortal and unable to leave sight of the Amazon River without being dragged back by the jungle itself.

In 1916 London, Dr. Lily Houghton's Tears of the Moon research is presented by her brother MacGregor to the Royal Society. The Houghtons, hoping to revolutionize both medicine and the British War Effort, request access to a recently acquired arrowhead artifact, but the request is denied as the Tree is considered a myth and female scientists are disfavored. However, believing the arrowhead and her old Amazon map are the key to finding the Tree, Lily steals it, narrowly evading Prince Joachim, who is equally intent on finding the Tree for Germany.

Arriving in the First Brazilian Republic, Lily and MacGregor search for a guide to navigating the Amazon River. They hire skipper Frank Wolff who offers jungle cruises embellished with faked theatrical dangers and corny puns. He initially declines, citing the dangers of the river and jungle. Frank reconsiders upon seeing the arrowhead. Frank steals back his repossessed boat engine from the harbormaster Nilo and the trio departs after escaping from Joachim's U-boat.

In Frank's cabin, Lily finds photos and sketches of modern inventions as well as research on the Tears of the Moon. She accuses him of seeking the Tree, but he insists he gave up long ago. They are captured by the Puka Michuna tribe, disguised as cannibals, but quickly release as they were hired by Frank. Angered, Lily begins to doubt Frank. The tribal chief Trader Sam translates the symbols on the arrowhead, revealing the Tree's location and that it only blooms under a blood moon.

Meanwhile, Joachim has located the conquistadors petrified inside a cave. He makes Aguirre agree to find the arrowhead for him in exchange for flowers. Joachim diverts the river to free them as Aguirre and his conquistadors are reanimated while fused with rainforest elements. The conquistadors track down and attack the tribe where Frank is stabbed through the heart by Aguirre. Lily flees with the artifact, but vines pull the conquistadors away when they unknowingly lose sight of the river while pursuing her.

To the Houghtons' amazement, Frank reappears alive. He reveals he is one of the cursed conquistadors, who once wanted to help find the Tears to save Aguirre's paralyzed daughter. However, he sided with the tribe against Aguirre's rampage. After years of fighting, he trapped his vengeful comrades away from the river's view, petrifying them. Failing to find the Tree, Frank became a tour guide and built a village.

Lily and Frank continue to La Luna Rota Waterfall and uncover a submerged temple. Meanwhile, Joachim has captured MacGregor and forces him to reveal Lily's location. Frank, the Houghtons, the Germans, and the conquistadors all converge at the Tree when La Luna Rota's water is partially drained.

Discovering the arrowhead is a locket with a red gem inside, Lily places the two pieces into carvings in the bark and the Tree briefly blooms under the blood moon. As a fight ensues, Lily recovers one flower. The German soldiers drown, Joachim is crushed by a falling rock, and Frank crashes his boat to block the river, petrifying himself and the rest of the conquistadors to save Lily. Realizing her true feelings for Frank, Lily sacrifices the flower to lift Frank's curse and restore his mortality, and he decides to leave the Amazon to be with her. The moon's last beam blooms a single flower, which Lily takes for research. Returning to the port, Frank sells his business to Nilo.

Upon their successful return to Britain, Lily becomes a full professor at the University of Cambridge. MacGregor rejects an invitation to membership from the Royal Society. Lily and Frank then explore London together.

Daniel Blake, a widowed 59-year-old joiner from Newcastle, has had a heart attack. Though his doctor has not allowed him to return to work, he is deemed fit to do so after a Work Capability Assessment and is denied Employment and Support Allowance. He is frustrated to learn that his doctor was not contacted about this decision and thus applies for an appeal, a process he finds difficult because he must complete forms online and is not computer literate.

Daniel befriends a single mother named Katie after she is sanctioned for arriving late to her Jobcentre appointment. Katie and her children have just moved to Newcastle from a homeless shelter in London, as there is no affordable accommodation in London. Daniel helps the family by repairing objects, teaching them how to heat rooms without electricity, and crafting wooden toys for the children.

During a visit to a food bank, Katie breaks down crying, having become overwhelmed by hunger due to feeding her children instead of herself. After she is caught shoplifting at a supermarket, a security guard secretly offers her work as a prostitute. Daniel surprises her at the brothel where she goes to work and begs her to give up the job, but she tearfully insists she has no other way to feed her children.

As a condition for receiving Jobseeker's Allowance, Daniel must keep looking for work. He refuses a job at a garden centre because his doctor will not allow him to work yet. When his work coach tells him he must work harder to find a job or be sanctioned, Daniel spraypaints "I, Daniel Blake, demand my appeal date before I starve" on the side of the building. He earns the support of bystanders, including other people claiming benefits, but is arrested and cautioned by the police. Daniel sells most of his belongings and becomes a recluse. He is pulled out of his depression by Katie's daughter, Daisy, who brings him a homemade meal to repay him for his kindness.

On the day of Daniel's appeal, Katie accompanies him to the tribunal, where a welfare adviser tells Daniel that his case looks promising. Upon seeing the judge and doctor who will decide his fate, Daniel becomes anxious and excuses himself to use the toilet, where he suffers another heart attack and dies at the age of 60. Katie reads the eulogy at his public health funeral, including the speech he had intended to read at his appeal. The speech describes his feelings about how the UK welfare system failed him, and states, "I am not a blip on a computer screen or a national insurance number, I am a man."

After a tour of duty in Afghanistan, a group of French soldiers are flown for a three-day stay at a luxurious beach hotel in Cyprus. Not only for rest and relaxation, since the Army also uses the break to address the psychological effects of returning to France from a high-stress environment in which comrades have been wounded or killed. As well as enjoying themselves, the soldiers have to participate in group therapy sessions where individuals, sometimes painfully, are made to relive moments of danger and terror.

But the tension is still there under the surface. Three of the French women accept the offer of a drive into the mountains with two Cypriot men, which results in drinking, dancing, and sex. Three of the French men go in search of them, also inflamed with alcohol, rescue their comrades and then, to punish their disloyalty, stop in the woods to rape them. After drunken struggles among the trees, the men drive off and the women are left to walk all the way back to the hotel. Next morning everything returns to normal, with military discipline resumed as the soldiers, men and women together, board a plane for Paris.

Winfried Conradi is a divorced music teacher from Aachen with a passion for bizarre pranks involving several fake personas. Following the death of his beloved dog, he decides to reconnect with his daughter, Ines, who is pursuing a career in business consulting. Ines is working in Bucharest, Romania, on an outsourcing project in the oil industry. Consumed by her work, she seems to have little time for her family.

Winfried spontaneously travels to Bucharest and waits for Ines in the lobby of an office complex. After several hours, she finally appears, accompanied by several of her client's board members and on the way to a meeting. Winfried puts on sunglasses and fake teeth as a playful disguise, and approaches the group from the side while hiding behind a newspaper. Ines ignores him, but meets with him briefly after work and invites him to a business reception at the US Embassy.

In the evening, Winfried and Ines attend the reception, where they meet Henneberg, a German oil company CEO with whom Ines wishes to secure a consulting contract. Ines tries to gain Henneberg's attention, but Henneberg seems more interested in her father. Winfried tells Henneberg that he has hired a replacement daughter because Ines is always busy. To Ines's surprise, Henneberg invites Winfried and Ines for drinks, along with his entourage. At the bar, Henneberg once again brushes Ines aside and makes fun of Winfried.

After several days, Ines and Winfried are struggling to get along. Stressed out from work, Ines oversleeps, missing a planned rendezvous with clients, and blames her father for not waking her up. Feeling alienated and unwanted, he leaves in a taxi for the airport. Ines continues with her work as normal, and several days later arranges to meet two female friends at a bar. While Ines and her friends are chatting, a man approaches and introduces himself as "Toni Erdmann". The man is clearly Winfried in a wig and false teeth, but Ines does not let on. Her two friends politely engage "Erdmann" in conversation; he explains that he is a "life coach" and consultant visiting Bucharest to attend the funeral of his friend's turtle.

Ines is increasingly frustrated and unfulfilled in her work and personal life, but continues to encounter "Erdmann" sporadically at parties or outside her office. At first Ines is angry with her father, and accuses him of trying to "ruin" her, but as time goes on she comes to see the value of her father's interventions in her life, and plays along with the ruse. "Erdmann" accompanies her on a night out with her work friends, and eventually even accompanies her to a business meeting. In turn, "Erdmann" takes Ines to a Romanian family's Easter party, where he forces her into a reluctant performance of Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All". After singing, Ines promptly rushes off.

Back at her flat, Ines is preparing to host a business team-building brunch to celebrate her birthday. She struggles to zip up her tight dress, realizes her shoes don't match, and attempts to change clothes. The doorbell rings. Instead of redressing, or changing her outfit, she opens the door wearing only her underpants. The first guest is her friend Steph, who offers to help her get dressed. Ines refuses, and when the next guest arrives she spontaneously removes her underpants and answers the door naked, telling her guests that her birthday brunch is a "naked party". Each of them reacts differently, with some leaving in disgust while others self-consciously strip. As the party becomes increasingly awkward, Winfried arrives dressed in a full-body Bulgarian kukeri costume. The costume first scares, then amuses, the partygoers, and Winfried soon leaves. Ines follows him. Outside in a public park, they hug, Winfried still in costume.

Months later, Ines returns to Germany for her grandmother's funeral. She has quit her job in Bucharest and will shortly begin a new one in Singapore. While talking with Winfried in the garden, Ines grabs the fake teeth from his shirt pocket and puts them on. Winfried says he wants to take a photo and goes to get his camera, leaving Ines alone in the garden.

At the end of WWII, a woman enters a marriage of convenience to a man who had shown kindness to her family during the war. Sickly from kidney stones, she travels to a fancy clinic for treatment and falls in love with a veteran she meets there. After they part, she considers whether to build a family with the man who loves her or re-kindle the lost bond with the man she loved while briefly away from home.

Act I

The play begins with Ravensworth’s daughter Mary talking with her friend Alice. Mary reveals to Alice that she is in love with Charles Fitzroy, who will soon be returning to the town after he was kicked out of school for being falsely accused of attempting to rob another boy in the town. She also tells that her father, Rev. Ravensworth, had become a bitter old man once her mother/his wife died. Ravensworth has a discussion with Mary in which he vehemently forbids any relationship between her and Charles. Ravensworth expresses to Walford his distrust of Charles and of his mother, Isabella, who came to the town years ago. Ravensworth believes that Charles and Isabella are practicing witchcraft, but Walford disagrees. The scene shifts to Sir Reginald and his nephew George Egerton, who are both from London. They reveal that they have come to America to find the man who killed King Charles I of England.

Act II

The second act opens with a mysterious man called “the Unknown,” who lives in the forest away from civilization. The Unknown meets Charles Fitzroy in the forest as Charles makes his way back from school where he's been expelled on trumped up charges. This is the first time we see Charles in the play. After a discussion about Charles' origins, the Unknown agrees to help him get back to town. The scene shifts back to George and Sir Reginald hunting in the woods. They express their preference for London, and George especially remarks his disdain for America, particularly their rules of propriety. He laments the loss of revelry he could be having if he were in London. They encounter Mary in the forest and both attempt to win her favor. George especially tries to use his city sensibilities to impress Mary, but she is not “sophisticated” enough to understand him. George becomes increasingly forward and possibly physical in his flirtations, which scares Mary. Luckily, Charles enters, saves Mary, and George challenges him to a duel.

Act III

Charles and George secretly duel. This results in Charles wounding George, and George admits Charles superiority, even declaring him a “gentleman and christian” to Sir Reginald later in the scene. Meanwhile, the colony is attacked by a tribe of Native Americans, but they are saved by the Unknown in a fictional depiction of Goffe’s leadership described above. Isabella prays during the attack, but Ravensworth misinterprets this as her casting a spell. He blames Isabella for causing the attack and says the Unknown is a devil.

Act IV

Isabella and Charles discuss their options, with Isabella wanting to leave town immediately, as Ravensworth becomes more of a threat to them. Isabella reveals that she became pregnant with Charles with a man of high status and seems to imply that he coerced her into having sex with him, but she refuses to tell Charles who his father is. Though this upsets Charles, he leaves to go find Mary. Charles and Mary meet in the forest with plans to run away, but Ravensworth finds them. To cover her tracks, Mary acts like Charles was attacking her. This is reminiscent of the original crime for which Charles was falsely accused. Both Isabella and Charles are arrested.

Act V

A trial swiftly follows in the fifth act, resulting in Charles and Isabella’s conviction of the supposed crimes of witchcraft and, in Charles’ case, attempted rape. Charles is taken offstage, at which time Sir Reginald and George enter and reveal that they had been sent to find the man who had killed King Charles I to give him a pardon. The Unknown enters and reveals himself to Isabella as her father, and he tells her he now knows the truth of what happened to her and forgives her. Charles is executed offstage, and Isabella dies after seeing her murdered son; Mary also dies after seeing the love of her life dead in his coffin. Ravensworth lives only to contemplate the destruction he has caused, including his own daughter's death.

They both live in New York City, but return to their sprawling childhood Tudor home in Cincinnati after their father has a health scare. The Tudor house they grew up in is falling apart just like their family. Mary is pursuing her third master's degree in psychology and still lives at home. Meanwhile, Kitty and Lydia are more focused on their CrossFit classes and playing with their cell phones than moving out and finding jobs.

The group has a barbeque for the Fourth of July, and Chip and Jane immediately become smitten with one another. Meanwhile, Liz feels disparaged and disrespected by Chip's judgmental sister, Caroline, and by Chip's fellow physician and friend, Fitzwilliam Darcy.

The rest of the novel is told through Liz's perspective as she navigates her love life and the ever-evolving changes in her family, from Lydia dating a new CrossFit trainer named Hamilton "Ham" Ryan to their Aunt Margot and her wealthy entrepreneur stepson, Cousin Willie, coming to visit the Tudor.

A man named Samuel "Sam" and his dog Rover are both flattened by a car whilst crossing the street. An ambulance then arrives and the medic accidentally gives them their opposite plasmas. After recovering, Sam begins to take on more doglike attributes, while Rover takes on more human attributes. Both cause strife in their home, which annoys Sam's wife, Margaret "Maggie" and her pet poodle, Fifi. Maggie finally gets fed up and leaves, taking Fifi with her. But then they get flattened themselves as Sam and Rover did. The same ambulance as before arrives, with the same medic who again mixes up the plasmas. Sam and Rover are despondent until Maggie comes bounding back on all fours, and Fifi returns in a bipedal stance. Sam and Maggie bark and bound with joy, while Rover and Fifi embrace, able to converse in English.

An old priest, Abbot Constantine, has been serving for 30 years as a spiritual father and protector of the peasants, when he is suddenly informed that the heir of a deceased good friend of his, the Marquise de Longueval, turns out to be Ms. Scott, a former American actress and, of course, a "heretic" (a Protestant), who, by a special whim, bought the Castle of Longueval from the heirs of the marquise and along with it almost the entire village. The worst part was that the heretic actor, who had already received the admiration of a young man, decided to settle in the Longueval Castle and "poison" in the most insidious way, the honest and pure customs of that local community of peasants. Abbot Constantine, quite desperate, expects the fatal catastrophe. But, despite all his fears, fatal Ms. Scott ultimately conquers him, and even more easily, since it is later proven that not only she is graceful, merciful and generous; she is also revealed to be Catholic, originating from Catholic parents of Canada, and not heretical as everyone thought.

Sonia Bonet (Jana Raluy) tries to take justice into her own hands after a health-insurance company named Alta Salud refuses to approve the care of her dying spouse. She and her son Dario (Sebastián Aguirre) attempt to fight the system, forcing the company employees to perform the corresponding procedure.

While in Paris, Doctor Robert Ordway assists the local police to investigate a murder.

Jeff Bauman is a well-intentioned but underachieving Boston native who works at the deli counter of a Costco and lives in a small two-bedroom apartment with his alcoholic mother Patty. One day at the local bar, Jeff runs into his ex-girlfriend Erin, who is attracted to his kindness and charm, but finds herself constantly frustrated by his lack of commitment. After learning that Erin is running in the 2013 Boston Marathon to raise money for the hospital she works at, Jeff asks every patron in the bar to donate and then promises Erin he'll wait at the finish line for her with a big sign.

The day of the Marathon, Jeff scrambles to make it to the finish line on time, but reaches it before Erin does. As she approaches the finish line, a bomb goes off right where Jeff is standing. After being rushed to a hospital, both of Jeff's legs are amputated above the knee. When he regains consciousness, Jeff tells his brother that he saw the bomber before the explosion. Patty calls the FBI, where Jeff is able to give them a description of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Local authorities capture Dzhokhar Tsarnaev days later, and Jeff is hailed as a hero.

Jeff struggles to adjust to his condition, as well as his newfound fame. Patty books several interviews and constantly surrounds Jeff with news reporters during his rehab sessions, to which Erin, who has since rekindled her relationship with Jeff, objects. Jeff and his family are invited by the Boston Bruins to Game 2 of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Bruins organization asks Jeff to wave the flag during the game's opening ceremony. The crowd at TD Garden triggers traumatic flashbacks for Jeff, and he breaks down in the elevator. Erin comforts him and insists he talk to his family about the fragility of his mental state and the impact his newfound exposure is having on it. Later that night, they make love for the first time since his injury.

Patty books Jeff an interview with Oprah Winfrey without telling him, causing Erin to speak up and tell Patty that the constant media attention is intensifying Jeff's PTSD. After an argument between Patty and Erin, Jeff finally admits that he doesn't want to do any more interviews. A disheartened Patty tells him that she only wishes for the world to see how amazing her son is. She soon begins enabling Jeff's worst tendencies, including his laziness and affinity for drinking. He begins missing physical therapy appointments, due to long nights of drinking usually with Patty. Erin, who has since moved in, finds Patty blacked out on the couch and an unconscious Jeff in a bathtub, covered in vomit. The next day, she snaps at Patty for her selfishness and negligence before calling Jeff out for his self-pity and refusal to stand up to his mother. Erin storms off, leaving Jeff and Patty to drive home alone.

That night, Jeff blows off Erin to drink with his brothers at a bar. Two patrons at the bar begin asking Jeff questions about the bombing, insinuating that the event was a government conspiracy to start a war in Iran and Jeff was paid to look like a victim. Insulted, Jeff and his brothers initiate a bar fight with the patrons. Erin picks him up later that night and tells him that she's pregnant. Jeff begins to panic and tells her that he isn't ready to be a father, causing Erin to scold him for constantly running away from his problems. She leaves him in the car without removing his wheelchair from the trunk, enters their apartment, and packs her things. Jeff crawls to the apartment door and has a PTSD flashback of the bombing in its entirety.

Jeff meets with Carlos, a man who cared for him in the immediate aftermath of the bombing saving his life. Carlos tells him about his son, a Marine who died in the Iraq War. After attempting suicide, Carlos was forced to attend his son's funeral on a stretcher. His younger son, unable to cope with the death of his older brother and the constant state of pain his father was in, killed himself. Carlos confides that saving Jeff helped him make peace with the death of his sons and the blame he placed upon himself because of them. Jeff begins to understand that his will to live in the face of adversity is what both comforts and inspires people. He stops drinking and begins to take his rehab more seriously. He leaves Erin a voicemail apologizing for his behavior, finally taking full responsibility for his immaturity and fear of commitment. A few days later, he and Carlos throw out the first pitch for a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park, where he meets Pedro Martinez. Erin watches at home and smiles. After the game, dozens of people come up to Jeff and tell him how and why he has so heavily impacted their lives.

Patty drops off Jeff for an eating date with Erin at a diner where he walks with his prosthetics for the first time without assistance. He tells Erin he loves her, to which she replies, "Good." He grabs her hand and smiles.

Kyosuke is the son of a fallen cop and a dominatrix. Although tall and strong, he has little self-confidence or fighting skills. One day, a twist of fate leads him to a hostage situation involving the new transfer student, Aiko Himeno. During Kyosuke's infiltration to try to help save the hostages, he learns by chance that wearing women's used underwear on his face awakens the dormant powers of his dominatrix mother and, combined with the influence of his policeman father's strong sense of justice, transforms him into a superhero - Hentai Kamen.

Hentai Kamen becomes famous, with his heroics being covered by newspapers and TV. Kyosuke's relationship with Aiko also seems to be improving. However, Kyosuke battles with his new identity as despite his new abilities, he struggles to accept that he might actually be so perverted as to gain powers through wearing used women's panties.

Kyosuke and Aiko arrive at their martial arts club to find all members defeated by the new transfer student, Tamao Ogane. Kyosuke eventually transforms into Hentai Kamen, fighting and defeating Tamao and his henchmen. Tamao is rich and powerful, pooling his resources, he summoned all sorts of oddities to face Kyosuke.

The following day, Kyosuke attempted to apologize to Aiko, but she would not hear it. Kyosuke attempted to explain that he tried to get a teacher's help, but Aiko felt he did not help at all as only Hentai Kamen saved him. It was then the Goody Two-shoes Division appeared and began beating people for violating school codes. Goody Two-shoes Man was the leader of the group and none of the students could stop him. After taking Aiko to safety, Kyosuke became Hentai Kamen and fought Goody Two-shoes Man. Kyosuke was weakened when the division wrapped him in clothes, taking away his perverted powers and got him beaten. However, Hentai Kamen found pleasure in the beating and Goody Two-shoes man became unhinged and lost the fight to Kyosuke. This would only be the start in a series of unusual men all meant to bring down Hentai Kamen.

Pleasant Man arrived to the school and attempted to weaken Hentai Kamen with his pleasantness. With the feelings of pleasantness taking over him, Kyosuke used his Perverted Dance and caused Pleasant Man to freak out and choked out his pleasantness. The next would be Manly Man (aka Moho Man), a homosexual villain that attempts to love Hentai Kamen, but Kyosuke managed to escape his grasp. Just as he escaped, he found Slenderly Fit Man and challenged his fitness. It only took a simple jab to the stomach and Slenderly Fit Man was defeated. With all four assassins defeated, Tamao is angered that nobody can defeat his enemy. However, one of his men noticed that Hentai Kamen often appears when Aiko is around and they plot a new trap for him.

Kyosuke's class has a new teacher, Towatari Sensei. It was during this time, Towatari had taken an interest in Aiko as she is behind in school. During this time, a new pervert is on the loose and looks very similar to Hentai Kamen and has been randomly sexually harassing people on the streets. Destroying Kyosuke's credibility, the copycat is character assassinating Hentai Kamen and now the public thinks he is not a hero, but just a true pervert. Unwilling to let this slide, Kyosuke found and confronted his doppelganger. Unfortunately, the pervert is more experienced than Kyosuke and draws his perversion powers through humiliation. With Hentai Kamen defeated, he was warned to never appear as Hentai Kamen ever again.

With Kyosuke defeated, Tamao felt he has won the right to take over the school. However, many of the students refuse to accept his rule and it was met with limited resistance. Kyosuke searched and found Aiko and found out she has been in a hypnotic trance for some time. Kyosuke would bump into Towatari and realized he is the fake Hentai Kamen that has been defaming him. With his perverted powers weakened, Kyosuke could not call forth Hentai Kamen. Tamao had a face off with Kyosuke at their gym, while being beaten, Kyosuke realized he had to draw his powers from a different emotional spectrum and he drew it from justice. Able to draw his perverted powers from this new feeling, Kyosuke restored himself as Hentai Kamen and defeated Tamao in combat. However, Towatari still had Aiko as hostage. Challenging to a final showdown, the two perverts fought.

More energized than ever, Kyosuke had the advantage and bested himself against Towatari. Both used their groin to use their Spinning Fire attack. However, Kyosuke had the advantage and power and defeated him. With his mask ruined, Aiko finally saw Kyosuke's face underneath the panties. Aiko has been emotionally confused as she have feelings for both Kyosuke and Hentai Kamen, but knowing they are the same person explains recent events. Tamao was not done with his rampage and made a powerful robot to destroy the school. To save it, Kyosuke asked Aiko for her panties and she reluctantly obliged. Now super charged with Aiko's panties, Hentai Kamen charged himself through the balls of the robot and finally ended Tomao. In the aftermath, Kyosuke had a wet dream about Aiko while in class and had a massive erection. While being called to stand in class to read, everyone realized Kyosuke was hard and he had to embarrassingly hide his erection.

Preciosa is a 15 year old gypsy girl who was raised by an old gypsy woman who calls herself Preciosa's grandmother. Preciosa grew up with her gypsy family group in Sevilla, Spain. The gypsies travel to Madrid where Preciosa makes her debut in a festival for the patron saint of the city, Saint Anna, where Preciosa is able to sing and dance for the public. She immediately attracts a great following as she is recognized as a wonderful performer, a great beauty, and a kind soul. On her second visit to Madrid, a lieutenant of the city stops to listen to Preciosa perform in the Calle de Toledo, and although he does not stay to listen to the entire performance, he sends a page to ask the gypsies to come to his house that night and perform for his wife, Doña Clara. Preciosa's grandmother agrees to perform for the lieutenant and his wife. After the performance another page approaches Preciosa with a petition to perform his poems, giving her a folder paper containing one of his romances for her to perform. Preciosa agrees and makes a deal to pay for his poems by the dozen, to the satisfaction of the page.

While the gypsies are on the way to the lieutenant's house, they stop when beckoned from a window by a gentleman. They are invited to perform for a group of gentlemen, much to the dismay of Cristina, a fellow gypsy maiden wary of spending much time with a large group of men. Preciosa convinces Cristina that there is nothing to fear, and the group of gypsies decide to perform for the group of gentlemen. One of the gentlemen sees the paper in Preciosa's hand and grabs it, sees that it has a coin for Preciosa within, and begins to read the poem, as prompted by Preciosa to do so. Preciosa critiques the poem and when questioned as to how she knows so much, she insists that she needs no teacher as the life of a gypsy is teacher enough to ensure that every gypsy is wise to the ways of the world at a young age.

The gypsy caravan then moved on to the lieutenant's home to perform for Doña Clara. Doña Clara was so excited to see Preciosa perform that she invited other ladies to come over and watch the performance with her. The ladies all fawn over Preciosa and ask to hear their fortunes told, but none among them could find any money to give. Only one among them is able to produce a silver thimble as payment for Doña Clara's and her own fortunes to be told. Preciosa has only enough time to recite Doña Clara's fortune by the time the lieutenant arrives home but promises to return the next Friday.

The next morning, on their way back to Madrid, the gypsies meet a handsome young gentleman who asks to speak Preciosa and her grandmother in private. The young gentleman reveals himself to be a knight and explains that he has become enamoured by Preciosa's beauty and talent, wishes to serve her as she wishes, and make her a lady of the court. The young knight presents the two of them with a large sum of money, as a means of proving what he can provide as a future husband to Preciosa. Preciosa insists on answering the gentleman for herself, asserting that her virtue cannot be swayed by money, promises, or schemes. She agrees to become his wife if only he agrees to her conditions: he must prove that he is who he claims to be, he must leave the comfort of his father's home, and he must live for two years as a gypsy, giving him time to awaken from the illusions of first love and learn about the woman he is so eager to marry. The young man agrees to these conditions as he has already promised to give Preciosa's what she wishes, however he makes a condition of his own, that Preciosa does not return to Madrid in order to avoid any harm that could come of it. Preciosa refuses to follow this condition, affirming her independence and asking that the young man trust her. They agreed that they should return to the same place in eight days, in which time Preciosa could verify his identity and the gentleman could arrange his affairs. The grandmother accepts the young man's offering with a great many arguments to Preciosa for why they should keep the money. The gentleman then pays the other gypsies for their time, after which the gypsies decide that the young man's gypsy name will be Andrés Caballero, and all continue on their travels to Madrid.

Once in Madrid, Preciosa is again approached by the page who wrote the romance for her, ready to offer another poem. The two discuss the position of "poet" and the art of poetry, and rest on the conclusion that the page is not a poet but rather a lover of poetry, and that he is neither rich nor poor, but rather comfortable enough financially to be able to spare a coin or two. Preciosa refuses to keep the poem until the page agrees to take back his money, which he does. The two part ways and Preciosa continues on her journey through the city to find the house of Andrés and his father. Down the street, Preciosa finds the house and is invited up by the father of Andrés. It is revealed that Don Juan (or Don Juanico, as he is called by his father) is Andrés's true name. The gypsies perform for the men, including Andrés, until a paper falls. The poem is read aloud, filling Andrés with jealousy, for which Preciosa slightly taunts him for being weakened by a piece of paper.

The awaited day arrives, and Andrés meets the gypsies at the agreed upon place. The gypsies take him to their camp outside of the city where he discovers he first lessons on gypsy life and Preciosa is given another chance to assert her independence. The group quickly departs from Madrid so as to avoid the recognition of Andrés as Don Juan de Cárcamo. After several days with the gypsies, and several lessons on thievery, Andrés still refuses to steal and instead actually pays for each item he claims he has stolen. Despite this, Andrés is able to add to the fortune of the gypsy group and gain as much fame for his abilities as Preciosa is for her beauty and talent. Over time Andrés and Preciosa are able to get to know each other better.

One night, the page-poet happens upon the gypsy camp while traveling and he becomes injured. The gypsies take him in, tend to his injury, and offer him sanctuary. Preciosa recognizes him and Andrés becomes jealous, as he is convinced that the page is in love with Preciosa. Andrés talks to the page and finds the truth, that this man is not in love with Preciosa but that he is in much need of help. The gypsies agree to help Don Sancho, as that is his name until renamed Clemente by the gypsies. Andrés remains suspicious of Clemente until the two become close friends.

After some time, the gypsies travel to Murcia and stop on their way at an inn. The innkeeper’s daughter, Carducha, falls in love with Andrés and proposes to him. Andrés politely declines her proposal, angering Carducha enough that as the gypsies are about to leave, she plants some of her belongings in a pack belonging to Andrés and calls the authorities. The mayor’s son is among them and, finding the belongings in Andrés’s pack, he insults Andrés and hits him. Andrés remembering that he is actually Don Juan, defends himself by killing the mayor’s son. Some of the gypsies are arrested and taken to Murcia, among them Andrés, Preciosa, and her grandmother.

Andrés is held in the dungeons while Preciosa and her grandmother are summoned by the magistrate’s wife. The noble status of both Preciosa and Andrés is revealed, leading to their freedom and happy marriage.

From the terrace of his building Professor Bellavista is observing Halley's comet. The goalkeeper Salvatore and his friend Saverio, instead of framing the comet, mistakenly point the telescope lens towards the window of an apartment in the opposite building, believing they are witnessing the murder of Mrs. Jolanda, a second-hand clothing dealer. Once on the spot, the mistress of the suspect apartment, a fur trafficker, is actually missing, leaving the ragù on the fire, even if the body is not found.

The group, together with other acquaintances, begins to privately investigate the crime, stumbling upon rather original subjects including a couple of elderly sisters who, to avoid eviction, pretend to have a crazy nephew at home, a decayed noble art expert who with the complicity of his wife he organizes dramas in order to sell fake paintings of value, until he runs into the Italian-American furrier Frank Amodio, a shady trafficker and lover of the missing lady.

Thanks to him, Bellavista's son-in-law who emigrated to the North finds his first buyer for a nuclear shelter, and it turns out that the missing lady had actually left suddenly.

The play begins on the night librarian/aspiring writer Ben rescues a beautiful naked woman, Tracy, from the ocean and brings her into his Cape Cod beach house to recuperate. Tracy claims it was not a suicide attempt but that she was dancing in the ocean. Ben doubts this but does his best to take care of her. Soon the two find that they have conflicting personalities, but try to work through them and gradually get closer to one another. Ben is fascinated and amused by her feisty behavior and eccentric sense of humor and falls for her. Tracy's first impulse is to break their connection, out of fear of the pain of loving someone and then inevitably losing them. As the story continues we see them struggling to find a way to save their difficult relationship, which is constantly threatened by Tracy's serious trust issues. After a crisis involving the possibility of an unexpected pregnancy, Tracy is finally able to reveal the origins of her fear of attachment in her childhood horror at the meaningless suffering of innocent creatures. The indifference of the universe to the suffering of the innocent is embodied for her in the eyes of the sharks in the ocean. The relationship with Ben has brought to the surface all of her deepest anxieties and fears.

A loser in life and love, Denton Baker gets into a high stakes bet where he has one summer to find, and hook up with, every girl he had a crush on from 1st to 12th grade. If he succeeds, he can win back the company that his father, Mr. Baker had stolen from him by a former friend, Mr. Lucas. With the help of his well meaning but overzealous best friends, Jackson Price, Ed McDoogle and Wiggins, Denton sets out to win the bet, which becomes even more difficult when he falls in love with his 2nd grade crush, Amanda Morrison.

The story cast consists of two siblings Bobby and Helen, and their maid Elsie. Bobby comes to see Helen who is grooming herself. He tries to convince her of several things. The first is to pursue a job with a friend of his (Eddie) and his second motive is to convince her to not commit adultery with a married man. He complains of her promiscuity and the disagreement escalates. After a brief fight, Bobby tells Helen about a rumour that she is seeing another man as well, which she denies, and the lunch he had with the wife of the man who is committing adultery with Helen. After a last attempt at telling her to go see Eddie, Bobby leaves. Helen reflects on what has transpired and starts to rectify the situation by possibly cancelling the affair. She then calls the other guy with whom she is rumoured to have an affair.

A truce between two rival gangs, the Tigers and the JPs, come to an end when after a day at school, the Tigers are attacked by members of the JPs, led by Spider. When Tigers leader Max warns Spider about the truce, Spider informs Max it is his gang and they want the streets back. Max gets help in Charlie, who is a martial arts expert but in the melee, Tigers member Spud is stabbed by Spider. Later that day, the JP leader Priest has been released from prison alongside Tok, a mute prisoner who saved Priest and has become his most trusted companion. Upon returning to the hangout, Priest has learned that Spider had broken the truce. Angry, Priest and Spider settle the score with Priest winning and regaining full leadership of the gang.

Meanwhile, reeling from the loss of Spud, Max finds it hard to work at the local warehouse. He is good friends with the manager, Troy, who tries to help him cope with his problem. Max tells Troy of an upcoming school dance and wants to introduce him to his girlfriend's friend. Max's girlfriend, Marie, works at a clothing store with Julie. Marie invites Julie to the dance perhaps in an effort to introduce her to Troy. That night at the dance, Charlie and Troy meet when they both ask Julie to dance. However, the celebration is interrupted by the arrivals of the JPs. When Julie sees Priest, she is in complete shock as it is revealed that Priest is Julie's ex-boyfriend, who plans to get her back at any cost. A fight breaks out and Charlie attempts to help, but is outmatched by Tok, who is a master martial artist himself. Troy and Charlie soon become friends and Charlie decides that Troy may have the potential to be able to defend himself.

As the war between the Tigers and JPs continue, Charlie introduces Troy to his uncle and martial arts teacher, Han. Han trains Troy and Charlie in taekwondo for self-defense means. During a day out, Max, Charlie, and Troy are chased down by the JPs. Nearly outrun and out manned, the trio jump off a bridge and land on a freight truck, angering the JPs. Priest declares war and again, intends to get Julie back. After an incident at the clothing store, Julie finds solace in Troy while again, Charlie finds himself outmatched by Tok. Julie begins a relationship with Troy and reveals that her ex-boyfriend Victor Sandoval was extremely violent and ended up in prison. She reveals to Troy that Priest is Victor Sandoval. When the Tigers prove to be no match for the JPs, the Tigers turn to Han to train them to defend themselves and bring peace to the streets. Han agrees that the Tigers have good intentions and decides to train them.

One night, Marie is kidnapped by Priest, who leads a gang rape on her. Meanwhile, after a night of training, Charlie is cleaning up the martial arts school when Tok arrives and kills Charlie. At the funeral, Troy and Han agree that the JPs must be stopped once and for all. To make matters worse, Priest has kidnapped Julie and has taken her to an abandoned warehouse site. Armed with martial arts and weapons, the war rages between the JPs and the Tigers. Troy goes after Priest while Han fights Tok to avenge Charlie. Meanwhile, members of the JPs and Tigers are all being killed. Spider and Max gun each other down in the fray, to the horror of Marie. Han is able to kill Tok while Troy finally knocks out Priest and gets Julie out. When Priest awakens and is about to unleash an attack with an axe on Han, Troy, and Julie, Marie shoots and kills Priest using a shotgun. The war finally ends despite many casualties and the streets are once again safe.

High School Chemistry teacher, Gilbert Adkins is accused by one of his students, Devon Cavanor, of sexually molesting her. Devon persuades another student, Traci Scott, to back up her story by lying that she saw the incident. Gilbert is arrested by the police. It is later revealed that Devon had been lying from the start. Devon had been promised a car by her father if she achieved good grades but she had failed an exam and complained that Gilbert had not given her enough time to prepare. Gilbert also suspects that she had broken his laptop. Devon then tried to ruin Gilbert's reputation with her accusation.

Gilbert has spent 30 years building his career and is concerned that it may all be wasted. He tells this to his brother and his daughter, June, who both promise to support him. Gilbert visits Traci's father Don to tell him of the seriousness of his position and to ask him to get Traci to recant her story which Gilbert tells Don is false. Don asks Traci who says that she was telling the truth. Traci then discovers from another student that Devon has been known to lie in the past.

June flies home from Uganda but by the time she arrives Gilbert is suspected to have apparently jumped from a bridge to commit suicide. A suicide note, which had been written on a computer, is found in his car nearby. June cannot believe that her father would do this and suspects that he has been murdered. Her suspicion is reinforced when she later discovers that Gilbert's laptop contained no such note.

Traci is upset when she learns of Gilbert's death and confronts Devon who is adamant that they both stick to their stories and insists to Traci that she was telling the truth about Gilbert's attack on her. Devon meets her boyfriend Jay to discuss the situation. At this point it is revealed that Devon had lied about Gilbert's attack and that Jay came up with the plan to destroy Gilbert's laptop after stealing some exam questions from it so that Devon could pass her next exam.

Meanwhile a toxicology report shows that Gilbert's body contained an overdose of a sedative when he died indicating that he may not have committed suicide. June also discovers that Jay has a criminal record, having been in and out of jail several times.

Devon's father presents her with a brand new car after she achieves good grades by cheating in her next exam, using the information Jay had obtained before destroying Gilbert's laptop. The next time Devon meets Jay he tells it was easier than he had thought it would be to kill Gilbert. When Traci sees Devon driving the car she confronts her again and informs her that she is going to tell all to the police. She also tells her that June is Gilbert's daughter. Traci cycles to the local hospital where her father is recovering from a heart attack, to inform her parents before she goes to the police. On her way there Jay, who has been following her in his pickup truck, runs her off the road. A worried Devon arranges to meet June at the high school where she promises to tell June something important about Traci. When they meet Devon lies again to try to lay the blame for everything on Jay. But Jay appears carrying a gun and contradicts what Devon is saying. It turns out that Jay had injected Gilbert with the sedative overdose while Gilbert was asleep. The situation becomes tense and results in Jay fatally shooting himself in desperation.

Later Devon decides to plead guilty about the whole episode.

In 1980, Clara (Bárbara Colen) and her family celebrates her aunt's birthday at the Aquarius apartment building in Recife after overcoming a breast cancer that cost her right breast. In the present day, Clara (Sônia Braga), now a retired journalist and writer, is still living in the same apartment, but alone, since her husband died 17 years before and her three children have moved out. Her only constant company is her maid Ladjane (Zoraide Coleto).

She refuses to accept a buy-out from Geraldo (Fernando Teixeira), head of Bonfim, and a development company that wishes to reclaim her apartment in order to replace the old building with a larger and homonymous edifice, even though all the other apartments are already vacant and despite her own children's advice to accept the offer.

The developers, especially the proprietor's grandson, American educated designer and head of the new Aquarius project Diego (Humberto Carrão), become frustrated with Clara's resistance and try to disturb her through a number of means, including throwing parties at the apartment right above hers and burning mattresses at the parking lot. Eventually, in an open argument, she berates Diego that education without decency amounts to nothing.

Clara starts digging up dirt on Bonfim through her contacts. Also, she learns from two former employees of the company that Diego ordered termite nests to be installed inside empty apartments to force Clara out. With the help of her friends Roberval (Irandhir Santos), a lifeguard, and Cleide Vieira (Carla Ribas), a lawyer, she breaks into some apartments and confirms they are swarming with termites.

Accompanied by her brother Antonio (Buda Lira), her nephew Tomás (Pedro Queiroz) and Cleide, she goes to Bonfim to confront Diego and Geraldo over the dirty deeds and the termites.

Rosa (Jaclyn Jose) is married to Nestor (Julio Diaz) with whom she has four children. Rosa's family runs a sari-sari store in a neighborhood in Manila. The income from the small convenience store business alone isn't enough to meet the family's daily needs, so illegal drugs particularly "ice" or crystal meth are also sold at Rosa's store. One day police officers arrest Rosa and Nestor for selling drugs and ask them for "bail money" or a bribe for the couple's release. Rosa's children, left on their own to deal with the struggles of daily life, find a way to free their detained parents.

The film was inspired by the story of Irene Zilbermann, the director's mother, a Holocaust survivor, although the names are changed and particulars fictionalized.

Three women who met in Auschwitz reconnect 15 years later during a seaside holiday in Berck-Plage.

Veniamin Yuzhin, nicknamed Vĕnia, is a high school teenager in suburban Russia going through troublesome emotional setbacks following the harsh divorce of his parents and the subsequent disappearance of his father. His mother is a hard-working single parent holding down three jobs in order to keep her only son in school and living in their modest apartment. Venia turns to reading the Bible selectively and intensely in seeking guidance and solace in response to his changed family circumstances. His selective readings from the miniature Bible carried in the back pocket of his jeans make him disruptive in class. He is given to constant moralistic outbursts, quoting favorite Biblical passages with compulsive zeal. As a result, his mother is repeatedly summoned to the principal’s office to sort out Venia’s bizarre behavior.

In one instance, after seeing his female classmates wearing bikinis in physical education class, Venia goes on a tirade by loud, obtrusive reading of his favorite Biblical passages on chastity and continence. Although subject to derision by other classmates, the principal of the high school sees merit in his morality campaign and calls for a school code requiring female students to wear only one-piece swimsuits for physical education. One of Venia’s classmates, who walks with a congenital limp, seems attracted to this moral call and befriends the apparently otherwise friendless Venia.

Later in the week, Venia takes exception to his high school biology teacher as she is demonstrating to the class the responsible use of condoms for safe sex. Her choice of demonstration involves a show-and-tell segment involving the distribution of raw carrots to all the students in the class with sample condoms in order to teach their proper use, using the carrots as makeshift substitutes for the male organ. Venia sees this demonstration as shameless and morally corrupt, again using his favorite Biblical quotations to support his protest. When his biology teacher disagrees, Venia then takes the extreme position of making his case by counterexample and he strips naked in the classroom to “prove” the error of her ways and what would “logically” result from her classroom teachings about condoms if he did not protest. The classroom erupts in an outburst of laughter and confusion in response to Venia’s nudity and the principal is called to the classroom to quell the commotion. After restoring order to the classroom, the principal finds the biology teacher at fault for poor planning by her demonstration of safe sex with the use of raw carrots, which the principal considers is in poor taste, and the biology teacher is reprimanded.

Venia feels vindicated by the actions of the principal and intensifies his selective reading of the Bible. He tries to make a disciple out of his new-found classmate with the lame leg, and at one point Venia has him strip down to his shorts while laying his hands on his friend’s bare leg in order to heal the lameness through prayer. The attempt at healing fails and he blames his classmate’s lack of faith for the failed healing. At school, one of the female students was aroused by Venia’s nude display the other day and amorously declares that she would like him to be her boyfriend. She behaves lecherously and becomes very sexually aggressive. After some coaxing, she and Venia exchange several romantic kisses in the empty classroom, after which Venia guiltily recoils.

Matters become complicated when the biology teacher makes further protests to the administration about Venia’s seeming to get away with his zealous readings of the Bible in her classroom, which she sees as disruptive for the other students and to her classroom instruction. Meanwhile, Venia’s friend with the impaired walk seeks to deepen his relationship with Venia by asking Venia to repeat the healing exercise from the other day, and when that fails, they go down to the shore of a local lake, where he kisses Venia on the mouth to express his sexual attraction to him. Venia is shocked by the behavior which he considers aberrant to his new-found Biblical obscurantism and, ordering his classmate to read a passage aloud from his Bible, steps behind him to grab a heavy rock and strikes his classmate dead with it. He then heads back to school leaving the dead body by the shore.

Back at the school, the high school biology teacher summons a conference in the principal’s office to formalize her complaint against Venia, and Venia is called to attend the formal hearing of the complaint. During the conference, Venia suddenly and falsely accuses the biology teacher of causing him to disrobe while alone with her in her classroom while she groped his bare legs and male organs. Outraged at his slanderous accusations, the teacher soundly slaps his face. The faculty in the principal’s office are shocked by the entire spectacle and the biology teacher is fired on the spot. At the same time, a report is made to one of the other faculty members from the local police that the body of one of the other students at the school has been found by the lake dead from a mortal head injury. Not knowing of the death of this other student, the biology teacher is still emotionally shaken by Venia’s scandalous accusations and the firing from her job by the principal. She marches back to her classroom and vocally vows that she will not leave regardless of the false complaint, as she defiantly considers herself to be without fault and blameless of the accusations which have been made against her as the film ends.

It's the year 1962: Olli Mäki (Jarkko Lahti) is a Finnish amateur-turned-professional boxer from the town of Kokkola who, while attending a wedding, becomes smitten with his friend Raija (Oona Airola). They travel to Helsinki where his manager Elis Ask (Eero Milonoff) is preparing Olli's big break: a World Boxing Association featherweight championship title fight against renowned American boxer Davey Moore (John Bosco Jr.) in the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. The match would be one of the biggest events in Finnish sporting history, even though most people – including Olli – are skeptical: Moore's record vastly outclasses Olli's.

The preparations are not without problems: Olli is lightweight and has to lose enough weight within two weeks to reach featherweight, Elis' enthusiasm about the match includes hiring a documentary film crew who become increasingly disruptive as the preparations go on, and staging various dinner parties with the sponsors of the match which require the uncomfortable Olli to adhere to protocol. The circus around the match disheartens Olli, who falls more and more in love with Raija – Raija, however, feels she's a burden on Olli's preparation, and goes back to Kokkola. Olli has a hard time concentrating, and eventually follows Raija, much to the dismay of Elis, who is concerned that Olli won't make weight by the time the weigh-in comes, let alone be prepared for the match itself.

Olli eventually persuades Elis to leave him to prepare on his own, and puts himself through a drastic process of losing weight: during the weigh-in, he barely makes weight, and on the same day, he proposes to Raija. As the match begins, Olli has a good start in the first round, but gets knocked down several times in the second and the referee calls for a technical knockout. While Elis is disappointed, Olli seems to be at peace with the loss, and quietly walks away from the post-match dinner with Raija.

Toshio (Furutachi), his wife Akie (Tsutsui), and their daughter Hotaru (Shinokawa) live a banal existence. Toshio operates a machine shop in his garage when suddenly an old acquaintance of Toshio's, Yasaka (Asano) arrives to help out at the shop. Hotaru practices the harmonium but is obviously a novice. Yasaka had just been released from prison and so without a permanent place to stay, Toshio takes him in as an assistant. Yasaka bonds with Hotaru, helping her with her music, and being helpful around the shop and house. Yasaka reveals to Akie that he was imprisoned for eleven years as a result of murder, asks for forgiveness for not mentioning this earlier, and slowly Yasaka becomes a greater part of the family. Yasaka and Akie have some romantic feelings for each other, and Toshio becomes suspicious as the family goes on a river trip. The movie also reveals that Yasaka is bitter about taking the blame for the murder, which Toshio participated in.

Later when they return, when Toshio is out of the house, Yasaka oversteps his bounds trying to kiss Akie and she pushes him away. After this he goes for a walk and sees Hotaru. Later, Toshio finds Hotaru, injured and unresponsive, with Yasaka standing over her. Yasaka stands, shouting Toshio's name repeatedly, but Toshio does not respond as he is preoccupied with his daughter. Yasaka then walks off and disappears.

Eight years later, Toshio hires a new assistant, Takashi (Taiga). Takashi was raised by a single mother and takes some interest in the now disabled and non-verbal Hotaru, sketching her. Akie has become extremely protective of her daughter. Takashi reveals separately to Toshio and Akie that he is the illegitimate son of Yasaka, that Yasaka was a member of the yakuza, and that he wanted to be employed by Toshio based on letters Yasaka sent to his mother before he disappeared. After Takashi stands too close to Hotaru, Akie kicks him out of the house. Akie confronts Toshio about his involvement in the murder. Later, Toshio receives a tip on the location of Yasaka, and Akie and Toshio take Takashi to kill him in front of his father. Takashi offers himself willingly, which is rejected by the pair. The tip is only of someone who looks similar to Yasaka and having reached her breaking point, Akie takes Hotaru to a bridge, where she jumps (pulling Hotaru with her). The film ends with Toshio trying to resuscitate Hotaru.

Pericle is the henchman of Don Pietro, the boss of a powerful Camorra gang based in Belgium. His specialty is sodomizing victims, compelling their submission to the will of the organization. After making a fatal mistake during a punitive mission, he finds himself sentenced to death, and is forced to escape to France, where an unexpected encounter makes him reflect on his life.

During a book tour in the United States, Max meets and falls in love with a young woman. Many years later, Max returns to the United States, hoping to reunite with his former lover during a weekend on Long Island in Montauk.

The plot is broadly inspired by Max Frisch's 1975 novel ''Montauk''.

The play begins with Antígona hanged in a white dress and a withered flower crown. She removes the rope around her neck and starts to sing the same song Ophelia sings in Shakespeare's Hamlet, after her character is driven insane by her lover. Two men, Coryphaeus and Antinous, are drinking coffee and mocking Antígona’s song. These two men will continue to follow her in her story, sometimes appearing as different characters in Antígona's life. Antígona asks about the dark drink at their table; when Coryphaeus tells her it’s coffee Antígona states the drink is dark as poison. Coryphaeus bursts into laughter, then pretends with great exaggeration that he is dying from its "poison," with Antinous quickly joining in. Antígona doesn’t seem to be fazed by their jokes, and as though she is dissociated from what she is doing, she grabs the crown on Coryphaeus’ head and smashes it, which causes yet another bout of laughter from the two men. The mocking they will continue to do alludes to the story of Antigone by Sophocles and how Polynices (Antigone/a's brother) was stripped of his title by King Creon, and refused proper burial whilst his other brother, Etecoles, was buried with honor. While the two finish laughing, Antígona begins to walk around the "bodies" of the un-buried, until she finds her brother, Polynices. She throws herself on top of him, protecting or attempting to revive him, and attempts to give him proper burial. Antinous remarks how she wasn't able to bury him, as the earth was too hard, and that is how the guards caught her. King Creon, through the character of Coryphaeus, approaches her and demands why she dare defy him, but she stands with her actions, and proceeds to mock her sister Ismene's cowardliness in refusing to bury her brother with her. King Creon then confronts his son and Antígona's former fiancée Haemon (who is embodied for a moment in Antígona,) and tells him he will not sway his decision to execute his bride-to-be. Haemon agrees he will not try to sway his decision, but responds Creon has condemned her unjustly, and refuses to spit in Antígona's face when he demands it.

The events fall one right after the other, and the dialogue begins to discuss the day Antigone is to be sentenced to death. Haemon refuses to watch her die, and Ismene is given pardon. Antígona, however, is sent to a cave with only one day's supply of food. Coryphaeus and Antinous, only onlookers and commentators of this story, grow weary of the sadness of Antígona's slow death and wish to go home, only to realize that the plague of Polynice's death is falling upon them, and they cannot escape the filth. Antígona hangs herself in the cave, and the three then describe how Haemon attempts to kill King Creon, but kills himself instead, and how Creon's wife, Eurydice, stabbed herself to death. King Creon, alone in his grief, realizes his mistake and pardons Antígona. Though pardoned, Antígona claims she will always want to bury Polynices, to which Coryphaeus and Antinous reply that she will always be punished. Antígona asks if there will ever be an end to this mockery; then, with fury, she kills herself.

''Eidolon'' takes place in approximately the year 2400, according to the game's website. The setting is a compressed and simplified representation of Western Washington, including the Puget Sound region and the Olympic Peninsula; the Kitsap Peninsula was added by a patch after release. Victoria, British Columbia is also accessible via a road bridge from Port Angeles. The player begins in a forest between Bellevue and Olympia. Gradual exploration reveals that the region is deserted and has largely reverted to wilderness, with its former cities reduced to overgrown ruins. Much of Seattle is underwater, while the other major cities are ringed by massive walls and littered with human skeletons.

The background to this desolation is revealed through documents and images that the player may collect in any order. It becomes clear that events were set in motion by the development of technology that increased human longevity. When an earthquake in 2031 flooded Seattle, it exposed deposits of a new mineral that was used to construct towering "Beacons" in cities around the world. Humans were nearly immortal while within range of a Beacon, but their biological dependence on the technology left them at risk of fatal withdrawal symptoms outside the cities. Responding to the massive movements of population and tension between supporters and opponents of the Beacons, many cities constructed walls, isolating themselves from each other and the rural population that continued to experience natural lifespans. This period also saw the rise to prominence of the Sennin, people with heritable mutations that granted innate immortality and superhuman abilities.

Growing conflicts and social breakdown culminated in "the Fall", a period around 2110 in which the destruction of Beacons by extremists left city-dwellers to die or flee to surviving cities, themselves diminishing in number and hostile towards refugees. Bellevue and Olympia fell at this time, while Victoria survived as a secluded police state for several decades longer. By the period in which the game is set, the rural communities in Western Washington that survived the Fall have disintegrated. In one series of letters, a Sennin named Triya reveals that she came to Washington long after the Fall in search of a cure for Beacon dependence for the world's few remaining cities; she eventually found this in Victoria, but its effectiveness is unknown.

Yasuke is a first year high school student who has feelings for his childhood friend Akari. He lives at a shrine, where his older sister is a shrine priestess, and caretaker though she neglects some of her duties for her brother to clean up. After Akari is invited over by his sister, Yasuke sees this as the perfect time to confess his feelings towards her, but ends up accidentally breaking a mirror in the shrine. The result is that he is cursed by Orihime, the goddess of misfortune who takes his soul into her. To make matters worse if he is separated from her then he dies, and can only be brought back to life through her kissing him. When Akari suddenly sees Orihime she storms off thinking that Yasuke did this in order to hurt her as she also has feelings for him. Orihime initially asks Yasuke to make her happy which will lift the curse, but due to his childhood friend storming off he is upset with her. Orihime soon breaks down into tears which causes the destruction of the things around him. Realizing this he soon is able to calm her down.

His sister eventually finds out, and is able to help convince almost everyone at his school that they are related. Akari is not convinced but feels better after Hinata introduces herself as Orihime's sister, and asks her to break the two up. Hinata later reveals herself to be Amaterasu, goddess to the universe who declares that she is going to reseal Orihime into the mirror. In her attempt to do so though, Yasuke's soul goes into Akari causing the two to remain in close contact at all times or else he will die. Akari is relieved to hear about the curse as a reason for the misunderstandings, but Hinata tells Yasuke that his goal to make her sister happy has not changed.

Amaterasu eventually also falls in love with Yasuke, and a third heroine named Izuna Amatake is introduced who also falls for him. Yasuke meets with his fiancée/cousin named Momoko Yamato and although she became disillusioned with him, she still continues to love enough that at the end she returns to join them. Yasuke regains his soul at the end of the series, and a joint marriage is held between Yasuke and all the heroines including his cousin. Orihime becomes purified so she can no longer cause calamity, and they all decide to live together.

"The Hair of Harold Roux" explores the craft of storytelling and its intersections—and at times collisions—with everyday life and mortality.

The narrative spine of the novel bridges a long weekend in the life of Aaron Benham, a clinically depressed literature professor at a New Hampshire college who has taken a leave of absence to write a novel, also called "The Hair of Harold Roux." Williams punctuates the primary plot with frequent flashbacks, a long fairy tale that Aaron had told his children over several nights before bedtime, and the text of the novel within the novel, which is based on Aaron's own experiences in college following World War II.

As the main story opens, Aaron is alone in his home office in the spring of 1970, struggling to push aside the mental distractions of his life to work on his novel. Aaron is interrupted by a succession of phone calls—first, from the mother of one of his students, who seems to have vanished; second, from the wife of a colleague at the college, George, who is neglecting his dissertation and is in danger of losing his job. Aaron returns from addressing the latter crisis to discover that he has forgotten his in-laws' wedding anniversary and that his wife and two children have left for the celebration without him.

Stewing in his remorse, Aaron recalls an incident involving his missing student, Mark Rasmussen, who had persuaded him to work for a day on a fishing excursion boat as a way to experience life outside academia. On the boat, Aaron is enraged when the drunken guests begin to snag flying gulls with baited fish hooks; he halts the depravity by punching one of the perpetrators, a descent into violence that leaves him ashamed and depressed.

Aaron is distracted again by a call from colleague George, who persuades him to come to dinner and do a reading for his senior seminar students. Before leaving, Aaron calls his in-laws to apologize for missing their anniversary but declines to speak to his wife.

The story that Aaron reads to the students is narrated by a present-day Allard Benson, who like Aaron is a college professor in New Hampshire. It details his loathing of the people around him, including students, a local handyman, and a conspiracy-obsessed factory worker, all of whom are plagued by paranoia in varying degrees. After the reading, Aaron learns from several of the students that their missing classmate, Mark, is in the grip of serious drug addiction and delusion. (Later, a phone call from Mark seems to confirm this.) Aaron spends the night at George's home, struggling with an intense sexual longing for George's wife, Helga.

The novel within the novel centers on Allard Benson, an Army veteran turned college student, and his friend Harold Roux, a failed seminarian and deputy infantry chaplain who has gone prematurely bald and adopted an unfortunate toupée. Allard and Harold discuss literature and other matters with Mary, Harold's romantic obsession, to whom Allard is immediately attracted. Harold shares with Allard portions of his own novel, titled "Glitter and Gold" (which is, for those keeping track, a novel within a novel within a novel).

Allard and Harold also do battle with one Boom Maloumian, an obese Armenian student who terrorizes their dormitory and regales them with vulgar tales of military life. During one drunken afternoon, some of his dorm mates fantasize about forcibly removing the toupée from Harold’s head; Harold, feeling disrespected, decides to leave school and work as a caretaker at a roadside motel and tourist attraction designed to resemble a Lilliputian town.

Even as Allard promises to wed Mary, he carries on an intense and often contentious sexual affair with Mary's college roommate, Naomi. A visit to meet Mary's devoutly Catholic father, coupled with trip to Sunday mass, leaves Allard conflicted over his sexual longing for a woman whose religious faith he finds ludicrous and destructive. (On the other hand, Naomi's commitment to leftist ideology strikes him as equally stupid and pointless.) After repeated attempts at seduction, Allard forces himself upon Mary, an act that constitutes spiritual as well as physical rape.

Both Aaron Benham and his fictional counterpart share a love for their motorcycle (Aaron's a Honda, Allard's an Indian Pony), and both are obsessed with riding fast, to "the very edge of danger." Inevitably, Aaron crashes his bike on a remote gravel road and his wounds are dressed by Therese, a hairdresser to whom Aaron has long felt an attraction.

Still in pain, Aaron manages to attend a hastily called meeting of senior department faculty at which George's failure to complete his dissertation is to be addressed. Aaron has the opportunity to mount a vocal defense of his friend but instead idly daydreams about committing suicide by jumping out the window.

After touring Harold's miniature town, Allard selects it as the site of a year-end party for some of his fellow students. While skinny dipping in Lilliputown's large pond, Allard again forces himself sexually on, this time, Naomi, in full view of Mary. Harold's knowledge of Allard's actions—and his eventual realization that Mary and Allard have also had sex—sends him into a rage. In the ensuing fistfight, Allard accidentally pulls off Harold's hairpiece, a moment of unthinkable humiliation at the hands of a man Harold had considered his friend.

The party descends into total chaos when Boom Maloumian, drunk and angry that he had not been invited, arrives with several belligerent fraternity brothers and a prostitute. The scene ends in violence, sexual assault, a spectacular (and literal) train wreck, and the departure of Harold, presumably forever and without his novel manuscript or his hairpiece. Mary resolves not to return to the school in the fall, and Naomi says that, if pregnant by Allard, she will get an abortion. Allard is last seen leaving "for his home in Leah, where he stayed a few days before heading west."

The bedtime story that Aaron told his children, Janie and Billy, is split into sections interspersed throughout the novel. The tale focuses on two youngsters, also named Janie and Billy, who live with their parents in an isolated cabin in the woods. One year, the family fails to receive their annual October visit from a trader upon whom they depend for winter provisions in exchange for their handmade knives and moccasins. Facing starvation, the family is visited instead by a mysterious old woman who speaks only in sign language and who presents them with a basket of herbs and unidentifiable powders. These items later save the children's father from sickness and the family from starvation. But in the midst of a hard freeze, the family cow, Oka, escapes the barn, and Janie sets out into the harsh wilderness to find her. Billy follows and, having "gained strength and knowledge" from the powders, locates his lost sister and the cow and returns them safely home.

Aaron, back in the present and awaiting the return home of his own children with a mixture of relief and despair, rereads a letter from a former lover, "Maura," clearly the model for Allard's lover Mary. She regretfully expresses her love for Aaron, her feelings of emptiness after his betrayal, and her confidence that he will nonetheless carry on because "nothing really matters to you."

Aaron reflects on the messiness of reality compared to storytelling, concluding that "you can't write another man's story for him."

Scotland Yard's Sergeant Harry Cross investigates a brazen robbery at a London mansion in which a large dinner party was robbed of all their jewelry and valuables. A servant was stabbed with a throwing knife. Sergeant Cross and Chief Inspector Warrington immediately suspect Messer-Jack and his gang to be behind the robbery-murder. For some time now, they have been terrifying the residents of London with their brutal acts.

A five-pound gaming chip found at the scene leads Cross to the Palermo nightclub. He suspects that the gaming chip came from a backroom gaming club. He asks around there and makes unwelcome acquaintances with Toothpick Jeff and Whiskey Dick, who feel disturbed by him playing. As Cross turns his back on the end of the round, a throwing knife flies just past him into the door frame. The knife is similar to the throwing knives used by Knife Jack. The knife thrower escapes undetected via a balcony. Cross then threatens nightclub owner Snorry to "blow up his shop" if he doesn't name the knife thrower by the following night. At the nightclub, Cross meets singer Dolly Mooreland, who performs both at the nightclub and in a popular revue at the Coliseum theater. He thinks she is an accomplice of the gang and tries to get closer to her in a charming way. Cross is correct in his assumption. When she later enters her house, Toothpick Jeff and Whiskey Dick are already waiting there and discuss how to proceed towards Cross.

Inspector Sinclair, who has returned to London after three years in Canada, is also investigating the case. He was unrecognized at the Palermo the night before when Cross met Dolly Mooreland there. At Scotland Yard he meets Alice, Cross's wife, who reacts a little jealously to her husband's professional acquaintances with women. She asks Sinclair if she could visit the nightclub sometime. He replies: "But only with an escort!" Cross now suspects that another robbery by Messer-Jack's gang is to take place during the revue performance in the Coliseum Theater that evening. He goes to the theater unrecognized and knocks out Dolly's singing partner by leaving him tied up in the dressing room. In his costume he enters the stage with a daring jump. After a brief singing performance and another jump into a box where Jeff and Dick are waiting for the robbery to begin, Cross is able to thwart the act. The perpetrators escape after a chase through the theater to the roof over the rooftops of London.

In the further course of the evening, those involved meet in the Palermo nightclub. Inspector Sinclair came with Alice Cross. Dolly Moorehead dances with Josef Huber, who was smuggled into the Palermo by Inspector Sinclair as a spy. Jeff and Dick are also among the guests. In a side room, Sinclair and Alice meet Josef Huber, who discovered Messer-Jack's identity while on duty in the Palermo. Before he can tell them the name, he falls unconscious after drinking a whisky. Sinclair and Alice assume he is dead and exit the room, Sinclair locking the door. When Warrington arrives shortly thereafter, the supposed corpse has disappeared. The employees of the Palermo unanimously claim that Josef Huber left the room and the nightclub, albeit heavily intoxicated. Sinclair then arrests Dolly.

Cross believes the arrest to be a gross tactical error and asks Warrington for complete freedom to close the case. It is now known that Josef Huber was drowned when he was rescued from the Thames. No signs of poisoning were found on him. Dolly is released from custody by Cross. He follows her to lead him to Knife Jack. Arriving in the closed Palermo nightclub, she finds Jeff, Dick and Messer-Jack in the basement, whose identity is initially hidden from the viewer. Messer-Jack suspects their release is a trap and Cross is already on their trail. Jeff and Dick then leave the nightclub. A short time later, Cross appears and realizes that the nightclub owner is Snorry Messer-Jack. A bitter fight ensues in the guest room of empty Palermo. Cross manages to defeat Jack and Dolly. The arriving police led by Chief Inspector Warrington are able to arrest both of them.

Ellen is a 20-year-old college dropout dealing with anorexia, who returns home to the house of her stepmother and father after struggling through an in-patient program and failing to make any progress. With her absentee father unwilling to deal with her, Ellen's stepmother, Susan, sets her up with a specialist, Dr. William Beckham, who insists that Ellen join his patient program. Ellen is reluctant to do so, but her mind is changed by her younger sister.

Ellen moves into the house with six other patients, who include five young women and Luke, an upbeat ballet dancer, who is near recovery from both his anorexia and a knee injury. Luke acts as a moral cheerleader for the other patients and takes a special interest in Ellen, eventually revealing that he is a fan of Ellen's art.

At a family-therapy session with Beckham, Ellen's father fails to show up. Until 18 months earlier, Ellen was living with her mother, who abandoned her to move to Phoenix, Arizona, with a lesbian partner. It is revealed that previous artwork she had posted on Tumblr was cited as an influence by a girl who later killed herself. Ellen promises to try to do better, but instead continues to lose weight.

Ellen makes headway, changing her name to Eli and bonding with the other members of the house. She is surprised, however, when Luke kisses her and admits he is starting to fall in love with her. She panics and quickly rejects him. Later on, she learns that Megan, another woman in the house, miscarried her baby, having resumed her purging after reaching 12 weeks gestation and believing it was safe. The event sends Eli into a tailspin, and she decides to run away. On her way out, Luke begs her to stay, telling her that he needs her, as he realizes that his knee condition is permanent and he will never be able to properly dance again and needs something new on which to focus. Eli leaves anyway.

Near death, Eli goes to her mother's home. That night, her mother expresses guilt for the postpartum depression she had after giving birth to Ellen and suggests that she might try feeding Eli with a bottle while rocking her to help solve both their issues. Eli finds the idea strange, but after her mother tells her that she accepts if she chooses death, she decides to go along with the idea and allows herself to be rocked while her mother feeds her rice milk from a bottle.

After eating, Eli goes for a walk at night. Passing out, she hallucinates that she is in a tree where she kisses Luke, who is able to get her to see how sick she is. He gives her a piece of coal that represents her courage, and she swallows it.

Waking up from her dream, Eli decides to return home. She embraces her stepmother and her sister before continuing on in Beckham's patient program.

A lizard jumps out of the water and shoots a beam at them out of its mouth, causing the scooter to crash, so the man buys a new one at a junkyard. As they are riding on a ledge, the front wheel falls off, and they fall into a canopy of cables. They continue on foot and two police officers stop them to inspect the box. The man in the box beheads one of the officers, while castrating the other, and they run and hide in a house. Inside, a floating head leads them to a menacing masked figure, who is appeased when he licks a psychoactive toad given by the man in the box and enters a trance. The group continues on to another house, where, along with a strange man, they observe various monsters harming humans. On a projector, one of the humans, a woman in latex and fishnet clothing, wrestles the strange man, killing him, but he doesn't die. As the groups leaves, some of the monsters follow and attack them, and they escape on a scooter stolen from a singer. As they are being chased, they run into police officers who recognize them, and the officers fight and kill the monsters. The officers chase them in a police car until they crash when outmaneuvered. The man takes the person in the box—his father who had gained a crab-like lower body—and leaves him, along with the creature, at the Sea of Decadence for his behavior.

While driving a van through Los Angeles, half-brothers Jack and Max argue about Jack's ex-girlfriend, Jasmine, who has called him to demand he retrieve his possessions from her place. Max says Jasmine never loved Jack and has always been obsessed with her dead boyfriend, who died in a carjacking. After arriving at a posh mansion, they don masks, pull out pistols, and kidnap Emma, who fights back. As they subdue her, Max shoots a neighbor who comes over to investigate, angering Jack, who did not want to resort to violence.

Emma, who Max knocked unconscious, wakes while a third conspirator, Shane, is unmasked. When Shane uses Max's real name, the others exasperatedly remove their masks, reasoning that their cover has been blown. They force Emma to record a ransom demand for her wealthy father. She reveals she has not spoken to her father in several years and calls her kidnappers incompetent amateurs. Afterward, she warns the men that her father will likely not pay the ransom, but when he calls them back, Jack threatens to kill Emma unless he does.

Shane, Jack's war buddy from Iraq, drives them to a motel, where they stash Emma. While they are in their rooms, Mexican cartel hit men search the van and recognize the name of the owner as a possible hit they performed, though they are not sure. Jack surprises them, kills one, and questions the other. Jack learns they tracked the kidnappers through Emma's cell phone and that Carlos, Emma's father and a major cartel boss, has no intention of paying the ransom. After executing the remaining hit man, he quickly gathers the others, and they flee the motel.

Jack explains he never intended to collect the ransom but instead suspects that Carlos killed both Emma's mother and his father, who were having an affair. As evidence, he shows a ring to Emma, who verifies that it belongs to her father. Shane, a drug addict desperate for money, protests against what he believes to be a suicide mission, but Max agrees to follow through the new plan. Before they can reach the agreed upon checkpoint, a cop stops them. Max, suspicious that the cop is on to them, murders him, causing Shane to believe that Max is an unreliable psychopath. Max also confesses to being the carjacker who killed Jasmine's previous boyfriend, as he wanted to give Jack a better chance at a relationship with Jasmine.

When they next stop, Shane, unnerved by Max's confession, secretly proposes an alliance with Emma. Emma draws Jack and Max out of the van when she says she must urinate, and Shane searches the vehicle for a weapon. Max returns just as Shane breaks a shotgun out of its lock box. Max taunts Shane and says that it takes a psychopath to recognize one; Shane agrees, and pulls the trigger. Max taunts him further when it becomes obvious Shane did not load the weapon. Enraged, Shane stabs Max to death, then explains to Jack that Max attacked him. Shane uses the empty shotgun to disarm Jack, and he drives off with Emma, who agrees that Jack's revenge plot is doomed.

After driving a short distance, Shane reveals that he has PTSD and used heroin to calm his nerves, as he was prone to fits of violence against women. As Emma becomes increasingly nervous, he grows more aggressive, eventually revealing that he is a serial rapist. As he prepares to assault her, she fights back and wounds him with a power tool left in the van. After Shane stabs her in retaliation, Jack reappears after Emma kills Shane. Emma drives to the checkpoint, where she meets with her father and explains that she has killed all the kidnappers herself. When she demands an explanation from her father, he finally admits to killing Jack's father and Emma's mother. Together, Emma and Jack, who was hiding, kill Carlos, then defeat his cartel henchmen, though Jack dies of his wounds. Bloodied and injured, Emma pushes Jack's body from the van and drives off.

Flashback to weeks prior to the events that occurred in the first episode of the series, "Natural Selection". A young woman wearing a sheep mask stumbles through the forest. As she hides behind a tree, she witnesses a white man, Frank (Ian Matthews), and a black woman, Roxie (Miranda Edwards), who are wearing paramedics uniforms, burying a body in the dirt. The two later kiss. The young woman becomes startled and cries out, which then attracts the attention of the couple who shine their flashlight in her direction. Before the two can come after her, the young woman places a teddy bear sticker on the tree she was hiding behind and runs away from the scene. She then calls Beth Childs to inform her of what she witnessed.

Beth and Art are present while the CSI team digs up the body in the woods. They find that the dead man had his cheek cut open, exposing the inside of his mouth, and Janis (Jean Yoon) discovers that the man had a surgically bifurcated penis. Beth begins investigating the man's death and discovers his connection to Club Neolution. She goes there to investigate and meets Trina (Allie MacDonald), a body-mod Neolutionist who informs Beth about the body modification and surgical alteration indicative of Neolution. She questions whether Trina knows anything, but before she can answer, her boyfriend, Aaron, stops her. Beth gives her number to Trina and tells her to call if she knows anything. Before leaving the club, Beth grabs a copy of Aldous Leekie's Neolution book and later is seen reading it in her car. She then goes to question Dr. Leekie (Matt Frewer) at the Dyad Institute. Dr. Leekie seems amused by the fact he monitors the well-being of Beth Childs, about which she has no idea. His right-hand-woman, Evie Cho, is excited to have finally seen one of the clones that Leekie monitors.

Throughout the episode, Beth's downward spiral is increasingly evident. She is shown often snorting crushed tablets and taking pills, her relationship with Paul has become strained as she suspects that he is monitoring her, and she is shown to be concerned about losing her job at the precinct due to her drug addiction. Whereas Sarah's relationship with Cosima and Alison is a sisterhood, the episode reveals that Beth's relationship with the two women was strictly for business. She trains Alison in gun defense, Cosima enrolls in college and begins studying biology at Beth's request in order to find out more about the clones. And Alison provides financial support for Cosima's studies and Beth's services, as well as providing pills for Beth and clean urine for Beth to use in order to pass her drug test at work.

Beth later meets with M.K. in a junkyard trailer, who communicates with her over the internet, warning her not to trust anybody, alluding to the fact that Art, or even Paul are potentially watching her as part of an experiment. This leads to Beth's greater suspicion of Paul, leading her to try to force sex upon him. Upon his refusal, she motions to shoot him in the head but later retreats.

Beth then seeks refuge at Art's apartment, where Art and his daughter are watching cartoons. Art sends her to bed, and the two then talk before kissing and having sex. Beth is woken up by a phone call from Trina, who is concerned about her boyfriend, saying that he was abducted by a couple of "dentists" who implanted an experimental mod worm in his cheek. Beth leaves the apartment and follows Trina's directions to an alleyway, where she spots an ambulance next to a fire escape. She swallows a pill before continuing. Trina tells her to go up the fire escape. She does, and eventually spots Frank and Roxie inside a room, cutting away Aaron's cheek and removing a worm. Watching from outside through a hole in the glass, she sees that the two are accompanied by Detective Duko (Gord Rand), a detective who works at her police precinct. Once the worm is removed, Beth becomes startled and motions to leave the scene, but then knocks into boxes on the fire escape, alarming the Neolutionists inside. She descends the fire escape, afraid of having been followed by the Neolutionists. As she exits the alleyway, she is becoming increasingly more disoriented due to the cocaine, and she shoots a woman on impulse, afraid that she was one of the Neolutionists. The woman is revealed to be Maggie Chen (Uni Park), whom Beth believes was simply an innocent bystander.

Beth frantically calls Art, telling him that she messed up. He then arrives at the scene, inserts a cell phone into Maggie Chen's hand, and tells Beth, "You saw a gun... now get your story straight". As more police show up, Lieutenant Hardcastle (Ron Lea) informs Beth that Detective Duko "is with the union." Duko assures her, "...I'll be with you the whole time." Realizing that there is no hope for her, she runs away to M.K.'s trailer, distraught. M.K. comforts her and tells her that she will do the thinking for both of them.

In the present in Iceland, Sarah and her daughter Kira (Skyler Wexler) are awakened by a phone call from Art. He hands the phone to M.K. who tells her that she knew Beth and that "Neolution knows where you are. They're coming for Kendall Malone. . . . You need to run, right now!"

Act 1: The play opens with Ceci lying on her mattress in the Flores' family living room. She is in a semi-vegetative state for most of the play, making guttural noises for speech and barely being able to move her own body. This is because of a car crash that caused severe brain damage when she was fifteen. Throughout the play she has moments where she shape-shifts into the young woman she was before the accident. The play begins with Ceci having one of these moments, and she introduces each member of her family. Her mother Rosa has dealt with the pain of the car crash by becoming a devout Christian who believes that only God can make everything right. Ceci's younger brother Misha is a good boy who does well in school and likes to write poetry, while her older brother Rene is the bad boy who deals with his guilt over the accident via drinking and violent gay-bashing. Her father Claudio escapes by watching TV with his headphones on almost incessantly. To help with the family's financial situation, Rosa is about to go back to work, and she has hired an undocumented maid to care for Ceci and help with the cooking and cleaning. The maid arrives, and she immediately has a special connection with Ceci: she knows what Ceci needs and wants despite the fact that Ceci cannot talk coherently. The changes in the household upon Lydia's arrival become immediately apparent. The house is cleaner, the family is eating better, and Ceci seems to be happier. Alvaro, who is Rene, Misha and Ceci's cousin, has been away fighting in Vietnam for the last two years, but he is now back and he visits the family for the first time since the accident. He tells them that he is going to be working on border patrol now. Lydia brings Ceci out in what would have been her Quinceanera dress if she had not been in the accident. Claudio enters and gets angry because of Ceci wearing the dress and Misha takes the blame. Claudio takes Misha outside and brutally beats him as punishment. After Alvaro has left and Rene has fled the house in a state of grief and anger, Lydia tends to Misha's wounds. Misha reads her his poetry, which she says is good but lacks humanness. After Misha goes to bed Claudio enters and Lydia confronts him about what he did to Misha. Lydia realizes what Claudio needs in order to get out of his persistent state of escape and she has sex with him in the living room. This is another moment where Ceci shape-shifts into her old self and narrates what is occurring. Unknown to any of them, Rene sees it all.

Act 2: The second act opens with a flashback sequence of Ceci, Misha, Rene and Alvaro pretending to be ants when they were kids. Within this dream-like flashback sequence, the shadows of Alvaro and Rene kiss behind a sheet. After this the play returns to present reality and Rosa gives Misha a gold Cross pen because she feels guilty for not being able to stop Claudio from beating him up. Rosa then takes Lydia shopping, and also, it is later revealed, to see about getting her papers so she can stay in America legally. Alvaro visits again and another flashback occurs, in which Ceci asks Alvaro to be her first dance at her Quinceanera after her father's dance. She also wants to know what he and Rene are planning to do that night and she wants to come, but Alvaro won't tell her and says she cannot come. Ceci then professes her love for Alvaro and they kiss. Returning to the present, Rosa returns with Lydia and Rene. Alvaro gives Rene a jacket he bought him in Vietnam, then lets it slip that he loves him. Rene gets extremely angry and reveals that he saw Lydia and Claudio making love. Rosa and Misha ask what is actually going on between Rene and Alvaro. Lydia says that Ceci will tell them what actually happened the night of the accident, and proceeds to "translate" for Ceci. There are moments when Ceci speaks for herself, but to the family everything is coming from Lydia. Ceci tells the story through Lydia of that night, where she says she snuck into the back seat of Rene's car, wanting to surprise Alvaro when Rene picked him up. She heard Alvaro get into the car, and then heard them kissing and Alvaro saying that they should go to the border like they always do. Rene and Alvaro made love in the front seat of the car as Ceci listened from the back, getting angrier and angrier because she was in love with Alvaro too. When they were done and started to drive away, she jumped up screaming at Rene. She started pummeling him over the head so he couldn't see where he was driving, and the car swerved and crashed into the telephone pole. Rosa is completely shocked at this story, and after Rene admits it is true, he throws the jacket Alvaro gave him on the ground and leaves the house, never to return. Rosa whispers something to Alvaro and he goes to Lydia's room and pulls her out of the house to Misha's protestations. She will be sent back to Mexico as an illegal immigrant. After Alvaro leaves with Lydia, Claudio enters and Rosa and him go to bed together. Misha is left alone with Ceci, and he goes to give her her physical therapy. She struggles and is able to say his name once. Then she guides his fingers under her dress. He reluctantly does what he knows she wants and in her ecstasy Ceci sets the pull tab of her blanket on her tongue and swallows it.

Phil (Justin Kirk) and Sandy Mason (Jennifer Garner) have moved to Palos Verdes, with their teenage twins, Medina (Maika Monroe) and Jim (Cody Fern). Phil and Sandy seem to think only about themselves. Sandy seems very different from Phil, who enjoys going out to parties and traveling, where Sandy likes to stay inside wrapped in a pink bath robe.

Sandy's mood swings and inability to adjust to her new surroundings make her paranoid and difficult to handle. She suspects Phil of having an affair, due to him lying about working late and the smell of Chanel perfume in his car. A short while later Phil tells Medina while running on the beach that he wishes to move away because he has found love with Ava (Alicia Silverstone), the real estate agent he bought their home from.

He asks Medina to back him when he tells Sandy about it, but Medina says nothing and runs back home. Sandy fights with Phil when he tells her he plans to leave, and says she will be moving out and Jim agrees to go with her. When confronted by Phil, Jim voices his disgust about his father's behavior. In the heat of the moment, Phil slaps Jim who in turn punches his father.

Phil moves out to live with Ava, while Sandy uses Phil's money to buy lavish furniture for the house, and purposely runs up the electric bill for fun. Medina finds some solace in surfing, which she has come to love. Jim, however, does not handle the separation well, and feeling alienated and hated by his father, turns to drugs and drinking. Medina goes to dinner with her father and Ava, meeting Ava's son Adrian (Noah Silver), who is soon leaving for college.

Jim decides to stay home with Sandy instead of going with Medina to the dinner. Jim progressively seems more attached to drugs throughout and lands himself in the hospital. Phil comes to see him and Jim is happy, asking to go on the trip to Paris his father was planning to take. Phil says it's more of a work trip and Ava's first time going, but next time for sure, seeing as how it might make their mother upset.

Jim is visibly put off by Phil's rejection of him. Medina spends time with Adrian and they spend the night together. When Adrian drives her home in the morning, Jim comes out and starts beating on his car. Medina sends Adrian away and Jim cries to her that he thought she had run away for good, and begs her not to leave him all alone. Medina, worried, calls her father in Paris and is caught by Sandy. Sandy is convinced that Jim is perfectly fine and that she is taking care of him, to which Medina disagrees.

She points out that her mother treats Jim more like a husband than a son. Medina decides that she and Jim need to run away together. Adrian gives her the money her father keeps hidden, and she goes home to pick up Jim, who is once again under the influence of drugs. Before they can leave, Jim says that Sandy is right, and he should burn the house down.

He lights a flare and throws it into a bush in the front yard. Medina runs inside for her mother, as Jim lights another flare and runs down the road. Jim is found by the police and taken to the hospital, where it is revealed he may have suffered a psychotic break, due to the stresses at home and a combination of drugs. Medina says that she and Jim will still go away together when he gets out.

Medina's intro from the movie plays over again, and she tells of the machines that clean the sand. She says that one found Jim passed out on the beach, and that his heart just stopped beating, because of a combination of prescription drugs he had stolen. His body is cremated, and the family gathers at the beach as a unit. Sandy runs into the water and dumps his ashes in, crying out. She hugs Medina and tells her she's sorry over and over. Medina says in a voiceover that her father would like her to come and live with him, and that her mother is getting help and would also like her to come. She says she will do neither, and she will travel without a plan, to surf and see the world, like she and Jim had said they would do.

As described in a film magazine, they called him "Swat" Anderson (Gibson) where the cactus made life tough for outfielders and where the man who caught Swat's hits rode a bucking bronco. "Red" McCarthy (Donlin), a baseball scout for Joe Burn's (Jennings) club, got sore at Burns while riding on a transcontinental limited and jumped of at a watering hole with his daughter, Joan (Harlan). Nothing there but the water tank and God's scenery — until a bunch of cowboys gathered in the limitless desert and started to play baseball. Then "Red" McCarthy got the surprise of his big league life — he saw an untrained cowboy hit a ball so hard that it took a man on a horse to find it after a hard ride. McCarthy, true to type, signed the prodigy up on the spot, and Swat was off to another world. He was taken to Burns at the Southern training quarters. There he was laughed at and ridiculed for his inability to catch a ball, until he picked up a bat. The minute wood touched horse-hide he was the idol of the club. But George Collins (Ring), secretary of the club, saw no good in him, because the newcomer attracted Joan McCarthy, with whom Collins liked to think of himself as the best attraction. Consequently, he made life miserable for the green wonder, and when the big game was about to come off, with Swat as the mainstay of the club, Collins laid his plans carefully to put Swat out of commission, thus ruining Swat's chances with the girl and at the same time helping his own chances a little by some side betting on the game. But the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft astray, and the ninth inning of the great game finds a surprise for both sides and much of it has to do with the lady in the case.

The novel is set in East Germany in the mid-seventies and follows a double-stranded narrative. The main story is told in third-person through the eyes of Volkspolizei detective Oberleutnant Karin Müller, who is investigating the murder of a teenage girl found in a cemetery in East Berlin, apparently having been shot by western guards while attempting to escape into the East. Müller’s ‘handler’ is Stasi lieutenant colonel Klaus Jäger who warns her the investigation is limited to identifying the girl – not challenging the official version of the killing. Müller disregards this warning, and her story eventually coincides with a first-person narrative told in the present tense by Irma Behrendt. Irma is an inmate of a severe Jugendwerkhof housed in the former Nazi holiday complex of Prora on the island of Rügen. Although the plotlines converge, Young keeps the narratives separate through the climax of the book in the Harz mountains, right through to the epilogue.

A reporter, sent to cover the discovered library, mistakenly notes that one of the books uncovered is ''Moments of Secret Geneva'', instead of ''Moments of Social Geneva''. The editor of the magazine, in a rush, furthers the mistake to ''Members of Secret Geneva'', which is what he publishes in the paper.

A student named Simon Slatkin reads the article and becomes curious about ''Members of Secret Geneva''. Unknown to the editor, Secret Geneva was an underground resistance movement that had worked to undermine French occupation during the Napoleonic Wars. Simon believes his grandfather was a member of Secret Geneva, but had been misrepresented as a French sympathizer, the infamy of which had driven Simon and his mother to move away from the grandfather to the other side of town. He hopes that this new book might vindicate his grandfather's name and allow him to visit .

Simon stops by the newspaper to confirm the existence of the new book. At the time, the writer of the article is away and the student is instead greeted by the editor, who is known for stubbornly defending the accuracy of the paper, even in the face of obvious misprints. Simon must not have known this, for he takes the editor at his word and sets off to try to find the book.

At the municipal building Simon is told that the books have all been moved to a private area within the Public and University Library of Geneva so that they can be cleaned and catalogued. The student goes to the library and asks to see the books but is refused. The student insists that he has a right to see the books, and in response he is roughly removed from the library grounds.

Undeterred, the student breaks into the library at night, which he finds surprisingly easy. Inside, he does not find ''Members of Secret Geneva'', and doesn't even notice ''Moments of Social Geneva'', a book so different from his goal that he barely looks at it. The fact of the missing book, rather than enlighten him to the truth, drives Simon to believe that there is a conspiracy to keep him from finding the Members of Secret Geneva. What is more, on trying to exit the library he is caught and put in jail for the night.

The editor, learning that the boy in jail is the same one that had come to visit him, goes to Simon as he is being released. He explains that it was a misprint, that there was no Members of Secret Geneva after all. Simon does not believe the editor, calls him a liar and a betrayer, and spits on him until he leaves.

Over the following weeks there is a series of break-ins at libraries and other public buildings around Geneva. Nothing is ever stolen, but the break-ins increase in destructiveness, with bookcases thrown over, vases and chairs broken, and messages painted on the walls. In response to the crime spree, the reporter that wrote the story about the hidden library is tasked with investigating the crimes. He learns from the editor who the student is and interviews his friends and mother—the student has not been home for nearly a month.

The reporter learns the motivations which are likely driving the crime spree, and he decides to investigate the student's grandfather. He goes to the part of town where the grandfather lives and interviews a number of the older citizens. He discovers that the grandfather is actually held in high regard by all except for his daughter, the student's mother. No one believes he was a French sympathizer, and, in fact, it is public knowledge that he had been a member of Secret Geneva.

Returning to the home of Simon Slatkin, the reporter interviews Simon's mother again without telling her what he has learned. Despite his efforts, he cannot determine whether she was trying to protect the son or extort the grandfather, or if it was a simple case of bad blood. Still unable to find Simon, who has been continuously destroying public buildings, the reporter decides to write an article about the mother and grandfather in hopes of reaching him.

The article is printed on a Sunday, and the student's body is found Monday morning in one of the local museums. The same reporter covers the boy's death. It appeared that, while climbing in through a window, the boy slipped and fell onto a decorative set of armor. He was found lying upright at the base of the grand stairwell, with a sword run through his side.

Anna reveals to the Prince that she is his sister and how she had managed to flee when the usurper had killed the King, their father. The police tell the dancers that a criminal is hiding among them and request that they take off their masks. The Prince is identified but before the police can arrest him, one of his compatriots announce that he has come to Paris to announce that the Prince has become the new sovereign of his country following the usurper's death.

"''Stories''" takes place in a world of anthropomorphic animal characters in a steampunk-themed world on islands floating in air.

The protagonist is Reynardo, a fox corsair who reluctantly had retired from his adventures because of his mother's dying wish. One day his hometown is attacked by evil musclebound ravens sent by the Empire led by Isengrim III, once a humble and shy toad and a scholar but now has started a vicious campaign to find ancient artifacts and forgotten magic to gain access to the banished "elder gods" who once nearly destroyed the world.

Reynardo is the only survivor to escape the town on his fast airship with a mysterious book. As Reynardo reads the book, he joins with a Rebellion against the mad Emperor as a freelance vanguard and the last line of defense against the Empire's mighty imperial armada.

Reynardo finds out that the book is magic and provides him a narrative guidance as he makes choices along the story that provides a path that ends with a result that may or may not be to his benefits. The book is not showing Reynardo a future set in stone, but a possibility of what ''could'' transpire, despite him directly living it. For example; during his many choices, he learns that his best friend Lapino who is a cowardly, goofy rabbit spy working for the Rebellion, turns out to be a traitor working for the empire.

However, Reynardo discovers that a feline woman he knew during youth and is still in love with named Zenobia, who is Emperor Isengrim III's adopted daughter as well as his best general, has feelings for him as well even though she is conflicted by her loyalty to her adopted father. Reynardo tries many paths and choices, like using ancient demonic artifacts that possesses him to kill as many as possible no matter friend or foe, old magical technology that turns out to be extremely unstable that it can destroy the universe and using his loyal friends one way or another but they all ends the same: Reynardo dies or the world is destroyed at the end and is thrust back to the beginning of the book.

Eventually, Reynardo wises up and uses his knowledge of his past experiences via the book to win this time. He tricks Lapino into fetching the evil artifact that can corrupt him and kill the emperor which would force him to use the same unstable magical weapon that can destroy the empire. Reynardo also regains the trust of Zenobia by telling her that the Emperor plans to kill her as a sacrifice to the old gods. However, Reynardo's plans fails as he discovers that Zenobia knocked out Lapino, grabbed the artifact which corrupts her and has killed everyone in the Rebellion headquarters. But Reynardo manages to free her by finally admitting his love for her thus destroying the artifact because it was weak against true love.

Reynardo and Zenobia decides to run away but they are quickly followed by the empire fleet led by the emperor himself who is using the highly unstable magical weapon as a cannon but the weapon explodes and eradicates the entire fleet allowing Reynardo and Zenobia to safely sail away to a new home.

After a few drinks Oka tells Murata that he needs the money to bring his fifteen-year-old daughter, Kiyoko, over from Japan, and the only way he could think to manage it would be to sell his horse and ask to use Murata's every once in a while.

While sightseeing in Bangkok, Phyllis Leighton, a young American girl is kidnapped by white slavers. Her mother approaches New York Police Captain Tom Rowland who is attending a conference In Bangkok. With little for the police to go on, Phyllis's frantic mother Maud telephones private eye Joe Walker in New York to come to Bangkok to find her daughter.

Phyllis finds herself on an island with other kidnapped women who are being forced into prostitution. Soon after Joe Walker's arrival both he and Tom are subject to a multitude of assassination attempts by flame thrower, blowgun and poison gas. Their only clue is that each of the dead unsuccessful assassins have a tattoo of three golden serpents.

Aragami is summoned into existence one night by an astral projection of Yamiko, a girl who identifies herself as a captive of the Kaiho, an army of light adepts. She describes them as oppressors who conquered the land from the shadow aligned Nisshoku, led by the Shadow Empress. She claims that after winning the war, they imprisoned the Empress and her retainers in the Nisshoku's main temple, including Yamiko. She requests Aragami's help in freeing them, for which she needs six talismans to unlock the prison. This must be done before the night's end, for Aragami will dissolve if sunlight touches him.

As Aragami retrieves the talismans, they trigger strange memories in him. He sees Yamiko's former life as an orphan hiding out in the mountains, and of her being trained alongside the Nisshoku guild's leader and the Shadow Empress's advisor, Hyo. He also witnesses memories of another person who wielded light, concluding that they are the memories of the enemy general he was summoned to kill. They find Hyo's sword fashioned as a grave marker, confirming his death. Yamiko becomes upset and swears vengeance, and Aragami promises to help her attain it.

He encounters Hikaru, the last captain of the Kaiho, the other captains having died in the war. Aragami battles and defeats Hikaru. Before dying, Hikaru makes a remark implicating Yamiko as the Shadow Empress, before killing himself in an explosion of light in an attempt to kill Aragami. Aragami survives, and Yamiko admits that she is the Shadow Empress, but claims she was ashamed to tell him because of her helplessness.

After finding the last talisman, Aragami travels to the temple where Yamiko is held. Sora, the general of the Kaiho, impedes his progress, but he fights his way to the temple and mortally wounds her. As she lies dying, Sora recognizes him by his demeanor: he is the spirit of Ryo, the first general of the Kaiho, and the memories of the light wielder are his own. He, Sora, Hikaru, and the other captains led the Kaiho to purge the evil shadow army of the Nisshoku from the land many years before, but Ryo sacrificed himself to complete the spell that imprisoned the Shadow Empress. While Aragami is distraught for killing his comrades, Sora is grateful for the opportunity to see him again.

After Sora expires, Yamiko frees herself with the talismans and reveals her true form. She reveals her intent to kill Aragami to reclaim a portion of her soul that was bound to his during Kaiho's sealing ritual, explaining how he experienced her memories. Meanwhile, Aragami taunts her by telling her that she was a pawn Hyo used to build an empire by using fear to rule the land. Aragami then takes up his original sword, carried by Sora after his first death, and defeats Yamiko as dawn begins to break. Recalling the similarities between their childhoods, he describes them as twin souls in an endless cycle of vengeance, and states that he wishes there were another way to end it. Yamiko quietly agrees, and as Aragami slays her they are engulfed by an explosion of light.

During the credits, an image is shown of the Shadow Empress's throne. Before it Ryo's sword has been embedded into the ground, with Yamiko's childhood doll, the first of the talismans, beside it.

A woman named Ngoc An An arrives at a place where criminals are. She defeats the criminals, but her superior arrives, and berates her on being too impulsive and facing problems without the team. Later, she is seen training other recruits to be in the special force when her superior gives her another task, which is to sneak into an auction. There, two members of Wolf Gang name Tai Parker and Phuong are there. The auction is held to see who would buy a 200 year old Buddha statue. Phoung sneaks out and defeats the people who are monitoring the auction, and calls Tai Parker that the coasts is clear. Tai Parker defeats the bodyguards who are in guard of another treasure, and takes the treasure. Ngoc An An notices this, and fights Tai Parker. Tai Parker gains the upper hand, but Ngoc An An uses a vase to smash against Tai Parker, winding him, and kicks him out of the window to his death. Phuong sees this happening, and she cries, when the leader of Wolf Gang name Loc arrives and takes her to safety.

Ngoc An An's superior reveals that Tai Parker was Phuong's fiancée, and Loc is Phuong's brother. Phuong and Loc swear vengeance on Ngoc An An. In a meeting, it is revealed that the reason Tai Parker stole the different statue than the one that was auctioned was because that statue contained diamonds. Ngoc An An insists that this case must be kept secret, and she wants to find the Wolf Gang herself. Meanwhile, Loc's henchmen reveal Ngoc An An's identity, and Loc sends an assassin to kill her. It is revealed that Ngoc An An has her brother name Binh in her home who has some mental disability. After putting him to sleep, Ngoc An An is attacked by the assassin, but she defeats him. Her superior tells her to get some rest after arresting him.

Loc meets Kien Lang Tu, who gives him the drugs and diamonds he snuck away. Loc wants Kien to take care of Ngoc An An, and Phong arrives and wants to help. Loc slaps her in front of everyone, and tells her not to screw the big picture because of her personal vendetta. Phuong leaves angrily, and Loc tells Kien to take care of Hoang Skull gang. A truck with drugs carried by the Hoang Skull gang members stop when they see a body on the road. It is revealed that Kien tricked them, and defeats the members before taking the drugs.

In a meeting between Kien and Loc, Kien expresses regret of not being at the auction and protecting Tai Parker. Loc tells Kien to make sure Phuong is safe. Meanwhile, Ngoc An An meets her superior and says that there was a truck that was stranded in the middle of the road, and had 1.5 million dollars in it. Her superior says they have no authority in the case, but Ngoc An An says that it was in a road known for drug trafficking, and thinks it is related to the Wolf Gang. Her superior tells her no, that she doesn't know when to stop. It is also known that her superior name is Minh. Minh then tells her that she can investigate though, and he would take care of Binh.

She goes into a luxury house for her hideout, and Minh tells her that the Wolf Gang actually organized the auction, and tells her to be careful. Minh interviews a person who works in the auction, and the person says that she didn't know there was diamonds in the statue. Minh says that they will continue this interview later. While in a restaurant, Ngoc An An takes a picture of two members of Wolf Gang who unsuccessfully try to threaten a girl to give them money. She sends it to Minh, and follows them to their hideout, and is nearly spotted. The next day, Loc throws a party. Ngoc An An sneaks in, and takes out a girl named Melody who was about to have intercourse with a Wolf Gang member. She notices three men name Shark, Sheng and Cruise, who is wanted by CIA, MI6 and the Interpol. Ngoc An An sneaks in the house, where she is found by Phuong, who she defeats by throwing her off the house and into the pool. Phuong grabs a sniper rifle, and shoots Ngoc An An, but she escapes.

It is revealed that Ngoc An An stole a laptop that had all the people involved in Drug trafficking, and sends it to Minh. Kien tracks down Ngoc An An, and defeats her and handcuffs her to the bed. Kien gives the laptop back to Loc, but tells Loc that the evidence has been leaked. Loc tells Kien to find Sheng. Meanwhile, Ngoc An An finds Minh, and wants to get incriminating evidence against Wolf Gang, but he can't do that because only people higher than he is can do that, and she can't do it independently. Minh then starts capturing people who are in drug trafficking. Minh finds out that Shark has been killed. Loc meets with Kien, and tells him that there is a mole, because even though he keeps on changing information, the police are still able to find them. Mr Shark arrives to make a deal with Loc.

Ngoc An An and Minh and the special forces followed Shark to find Loc. After the deal is made, the police attacks, and Shark is captured while Phuong commits suicide after Ngoc An An defeats her. Loc wants to kill her, but Kien convinces not to, to just torture her. After torturing her, Loc is about to execute her, but Kien saves her, revealing himself as the mole. Loc shoots Kien, and is about to kill him when Ngoc An An saves him. After a few days of resting, Kien reveals to Ngoc An An that he is on her side, and tells her that there are men who are higher than Loc.

Minh interviews the secretary and Ong Trum who was also in the auction. It is revealed that Ong Trum is involved with Mr. Cruise. Ong Trum then has sex with his secretary. Ong Trum talks with Loc, and berates him on his failures. Ngoc An An calls Minh, and wants him to do a background check on Kien because she doesn't trust him. Minh says that he will, but it is shown Loc and his henchmen are in the room. Loc blackmails Minh to give out an arrest warrant for Ngoc An An and Kien. Ngoc An An has a nightmare of Binh being tortured. The next day, Loc then shoots down Kien's safehouse, and shows the footage. While Kien and Ngoc An An escapes, Ngoc An An overhears Minh telling the police that they must catch Ngoc An An as soon as possible. Loc and Minh meet, and Minh wants to know where Binh is. Loc refuses to give Binh up, and tells Minh that he is now a wolf.

Ngoc An An confronts Minh, and leaves after fighting him. Kien takes Ngoc An An to his old sparring partner/brother name Hai San Quyen. Kien asks Hai to help him. After overhearing a conversation between Loc and Mr. Cruise via electronically, they now know that Loc wants to order a shipment from South Africa. this could provide a chance to find out who is behind Loc. Ngoc An An finds out that the next plan will be at Loc's hideout, where Binh is being kept. She asks Minh to help her, knowing that Loc is controlling him.

Kien, Hai and Ngoc An An and the police ambush the hideout, and Ngoc An An finally saves Binh. Minh takes out Loc and arrests him. Ngoc An An puts Binh in a safe place, then confronts Ong Trum. Hai and Kien arrive, and Ngoc An An realizes that Ong Trum is the boss. Hai fights off Ong Trum's bodyguard, but it is a draw, and they are both injured. Ong Trum injures Kien, but it allows Ngoc An An an opening to shoot him down with an arrow, and Ong Trum is defeated. The police arrest Ong Trum, and Ngoc An An gives the evidence to the police. The police commander praises Kien, Ngoc An An, and Minh for their bravery, and Ngoc An An says to Minh that for punishment for making Binh be in harm's way, he will have to buy Binh toys. The trio all laugh.

Fie, fie, gentlemen! fie, fie!

As a loud orchestral rendition of music for the "Over There" chorus fills the soundtrack, the MGM lion is seen emitting three silent roars, followed by a title card listing the film's credits.

Scene 1: A class composed of 20 small and medium-sized dogs of various breeds, wearing jackets, shirts and stiff-necked collars, is instructed by a similarly dressed dog "professor" sporting round eyeglasses, with a 1910s bowtie cravat around the neck of his stiff shirt. The subject is anatomy, replete with a dog chart, focusing on "the south end of the backbone — for thereby hangs a tail". One of the "students", a small bulldog, is addressed as Mr. Barker and questioned regarding his disinterest as to the functions of the tail. His response, "please sir, because I haven't any tail", elicits derisive laughter from the dog sitting alongside him and they engage in "sez you, sez me" insults popularized by the 1926 silent hit film about World War I, ''What Price Glory''. While the professor restores order by chastising them, "fie, fie, gentlemen! fie, fie!", a dog newspaper vendor is seen shouting out, "all extry! wuxtry! war declared! Airedale Republic declares war on the Kingdom of Dachshund! The professor immediately exhorts his students to volunteer — "it's nice outdoor work and a fine chance to meet some swell French mamas". The laughing dog states, "I'm crazy to go — say, how about you, slacker?" Barker responds, "I'm crazy, too — I'll go". All others also offer to enlist.

Camp Poodle – – the Airedale rookie camp

Scene 2 intertitle card: "Camp Poodle – – the Airedale rookie camp." A group of uniformed small dogs standing on their hind legs is told by a dog drill sergeant that "if you think this army is going to tolerate any sloppy drilling, you're barking up the wrong tree. Now snap into it and get that hang-dog look off your faces." Continuing to move on their hind lags, the dogs go through a drill routine.

Scene 3: Gathered inside a large military tent, various breeds of dogs, wearing military uniforms and, in some cases, also military hats, are singing chorus-style, "There's a Long Long Trail A-Winding" accompanied by one dog using his paws to hold a harmonica to his muzzle. Another dog is laying out cards for a game of solitaire, still another is rolling dice, and yet another is walking (on his hind legs) sentry duty as the bugler raises a trumpet to his muzzle to sound "Taps". As the melody continues, the canine soldiers, now laying on their army beds, blow out candles or douse them with spittle and go to sleep, making loud human snoring sounds.

Entraining for "Over There"

Scene 4 intertitle card: "Entraining for "Over There". Various dogs in male and female civilian clothes (suits and long dresses) are at two railroad ticket windows, while a dog orchestra is playing "The Stars and Stripes Forever", with one dog playing tuba, one moving a slide trombone (with a music sheet), one on drum and one (wearing oversized glasses) on the flute. A German shepherd photographer is taking their picture, with two of the dogs posed behind a cutout of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza archetypes holding World War I-era rifles. Other dogs are saying goodbye to their families, as a mother dog is crying and shouting, "my baby! my baby! They're taking away my baby! I didn't raise my boy to be a sausage!" (correlating the sausage "hot dog" with "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier"). Other dog family members, wives and sweethearts are also howling their goodbyes.

So quiet on the canine front

Scene 5 intertitle card: "So quiet on the canine front." The dogs are in an underground bunker, some of them standing and others on all fours, enduring the constant shelling. All are wearing uniforms, with upturned metal dog bowls strapped in the manner of helmets upon their heads. They are called out of the trenches and crawl, on all fours, through a battlefield, with shells exploding around them. Arriving at an outpost, they see a machine gun bullet roll of sausages and are told by a commanding officer, "men, we've discovered an improvement on barbed wire entanglement — we will lure the enemy into no man's land with these irresistible wieners — and our machine gunners will do the rest". When an enemy dachshund, wearing a uniform and metal coffeemaker filtering cup as a helmet. runs out of the trenches, on all fours, to eat the wieners, he is sprayed with machine gun fire, but jumps back into the trench unharmed. He later returns and grabs all the wieners which he brings to his side's trenches to share with his fellow soldiers who emit non-English-language sounds as they run on all fours to eat the treats.

The same rookies a week later

Scene 6 intertitle card: "The same rookies a week later." As shell reverberations continue to shake the bunker, Capt. Growler seeks "a man to fly on enemy headquarters — who will volunteer?" Pvt. Barker is involuntarily chosen when he yelps as a result of a bayonet poke from his laughing rival. He is ordered to "Proceed by airplane to enemy Hdqts. Obtain troop movements. Disguise as enemy nurse." Parachuting into a hayloft, he interrupts a pair of amorous dogs. Infiltrating the other side's command center, he greets, in a falsetto voice, German-accented enemy officers and is told by one of them, "Never have I seen such a beautiful mama". Attempting to leave, Barker snares his "nurse dress" and, as the garment is pulled off, he is revealed as a spy and ordered to be executed. Back on the English-speaking side, an officer announces that a charge will be mounted to rescue "our buddy" and shouts, "follow me, men! over the top we go! One dog tries to fit a gas mask over his muzzle, while cannons blast through the night sky. The dogs run across no man's land while enemy General von Pretzel orders the execution to proceed. Barker's "sez you" compatriot throws a "flea grenade" at enemy dogs who launch into a frenzy of scratching. Von Pretzel mockingly laughs and tells Barker that "you'll die like a dog" and orders the use of poison gas "limburger bomb", but the weapon explodes near him and he collapses while emitting blubbering sounds. Spotting his former laughing rival, Barker says, "my pal — you saved my life", as another limburger bomb explosion envelops them in noxious fumes.

The book is written as letters penned by Joshua Haigh to his wife Hannah from the imaginary island Hanusse, an Aegean state with famously loose morals. Joshua and Hannah had previously lived in a New York City commune that centered around the messianic Leon, who encourages free love. There Joshua discovers his own interest in gay sex. Eventually, Hannah and Elizabeth, Leon's wife, give birth to Ford and Minnie. Leon fakes the murder of Hannah and Elizabeth, while in actuality fleeing with the women and their children to Paris, where he plans to sell the infants to some rich pedophiles. Joshua, momentarily tricked by the fake murders, soon follows them and succeeds in getting the Parisian police to interrupt the sale and hand the children over to him. But Joshua's motives are suspect: far from saving the children from pedophilia, Joshua moves them to Hanusse and becomes the boy's lover.

Gondwane is a crazy-quilt of human and non-human societies divided into myriads of states and tribes, all built atop the detritus of seven hundred million years of previous civilizations. Over this span the laws of physics have changed, and science been largely superseded by magic.

Each is preserved in the Ardelix Time Vault until awakened by the onset of the crisis it is intended he resolve. Ganelon himself is the one designated to save the world from its own satellite, though how he is to do so is problematic; as he was awoken prematurely by an earthquake, before the crucial knowledge of his precise role could be instilled.

Aided by the magician Zolobion and the warrior maid Arzeela, who loves him unrequitedly (he was built for heroics, not romance) Ganelon sets out from the land of the great Stone Face to seek the means of mankind's salvation. Ultimately, they locate the necessary device, only to discover that it can only be operated at the cost of the user's life. This the hero is willing to do, as his sole reason for being is to save humanity. But Arzeela, unable to bear the thought of his death, takes his place in the device, dying in his stead.

The Moon is destroyed, leaving a silvery ring of debris around the Earth in its place and the world to survive into a new era, "The Eon of the Silver Phoenix". Ganelon, however, is left distraught and bereft of purpose. Mourning his lost companion and unable to understand the feelings that led to her self-sacrifice, he makes it his new goal to discover the nature of love.

Mega Evolution Councillor Alva and Prince Raleigh of the Azoth Kingdom order the artificial Pokémon Magearna to be brought to the Kingdom after it is found in the Nebel Plateau, a place populated by Pokémon who have been abused by humans. The Mythical Pokémon Volcanion tries recovering Magearna, but has a band attached to his leg and is sent falling to a forest where Ash Ketchum and his friends, Pikachu, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are camping. Volcanion lands in Ash and friends' vicinity and, when they recover, Ash finds a second band attached to himself. Clemont discovers the bands emit an electromagnetic force that binds Ash to Volcanion like a chain. Volcanion runs off, dragging Ash along with him.

Ash and Volcanion recover Magearna from the Azoth Kingdom. They rendezvous with Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie, who are fascinated by Magearna, but are unable to remove the chain binding Ash and Volcanion. Reluctantly, Volcanion allows the group to accompany him and Magearna to their home, Nebel Plateau. On the way, they are attacked by Team Rocket, who have been hired by Alva to recover Magearna, but the group is able to drive them off with help from Raleigh's sister, Princess Kimia. During their stay at Nebel Plateau, Clemont and Kimia have the resident Pokémon break the electromagnetic bands. Finally free, Volcanion orders the humans to leave, but they refuse.

The next day, Alva and his underlings, Levi and Cherie, attack and recapture Magearna. He removes Magearna's "Soul-Heart", which he plans to use to activate a mechanism in the Azoth Castle that turns it into a flying fortress. Raleigh tries to stop him, but is knocked unconscious. As the castle takes to the skies, Ash and Pikachu storm the fortress with Volcanion, Kimia, and Greninja, but are trapped by Alva, who attempts to break Magearna's spirit by firing at Nebel Plateau. However, the resident Pokémon repel the attack with help from Squishy the Zygarde Core, and Ash destroys Alva's cane giving him control over the Pokémon, causing them to become normal again, and Alakazam uses psychic powers to levitate itself and the other Pokémon, as well as Levi and Cherie, from the fortress. Volcanion frees himself, Ash, Kimia, and their Pokémon. Alva sets the fortress on a collision course with the plateau and tries to escape with a jetpack, but Greninja disables it, causing him to fall. Ash returns the Soul-Heart to Magearna, but her spirit is gone. To prevent the fortress from crashing into the plateau, Volcanion uses his power to destroy the fortress with himself at the center of the blast. Volcanion is assumed to be killed in the blast, bringing grief to the humans and Pokémon, but later, at Nebel Plateau, Magearna regains her spirit when Volcanion appears, having survived, but he falls unconscious, so Magearna revives Volcanion, as her flowers earlier made him sneeze. When he regains consciousness, Volcanion tells Magearna not to put pollen to his nostrils, then gives Pikachu and the other Pokémon the distinction of being honorary members of Nebel Plateau. Team Rocket, watching from nearby, express satisfaction at how things turned out.

In the credits, the Nebel Plateau Pokémon gather the wreckage of the fortress and bury it in a huge hole Volcanion had made earlier. Ash and his friends return to the Azoth Kingdom with Kimia and Raleigh, where Bonnie proposes to Kimia's personal assistant, Flamel, on Clemont's behalf, then he pulls her back with his Aipom arm. Later, Kimia and her shiny Gardevoir discover Alva tangled in the wreckage of his jetpack in a tree. Gardevoir Levitates him onto Kimia's aircraft, where he gets the magnetic bands stuck on him, keeping him from fleeing, even though he attempts to. Levi and Cherie are also imprisoned. Taking Ash's advice, Raleigh goes out on a Pokémon journey of his own with his Slurpuff in order to see the world and learn more than just past history. Kimia watches him leave from what remains of the castle. Magearna continues to live in peace at Nebel Plateau with the other Pokémon, while Volcanion watches over them from his cave.

Emad is also a popular instructor at a local school, where the youth joke about him being a "salesman." One night, their apartment begins to collapse and they flee the building with the other residents. Knowing they need another place to live, their fellow actor Babak secures another apartment for them, where a woman has recently moved out, although she left in a hurry abandoning numerous belongings. One night, Rana is home alone and begins bathing. When Emad returns, he finds she is missing and the bathroom is covered with blood. He rushes to the hospital, where he is informed by his neighbours about his wife's condition and is told to change the apartment's locks. It becomes apparent that Rana has not had an accident, but has been assaulted by an intruder. Emad also learns from neighbours that the previous tenant was a prostitute who had conflicts with her clients.

Rana returns home, but suffers from trauma and is reluctant to go to the police.

Although she does not remember the face of her attacker, Emad finds the culprit left his car keys, which he matches to a pick-up parked outside. The attacker also left behind a mobile phone and money which Rana purchased groceries with, thinking Emad had left it for her. Emad increasingly blames Babak for hiding the truth about the former tenant. After he hears a loving message from Babak on the previous tenant's answering machine, he calls Babak's character Charley a degenerate in the midst of a performance, although this is not in Miller's script.

Finally, Emad turns to one of his students, whose father used to work for the police. He is able to trace the truck to a man named Majid. He pretends to need a mover to lure Majid to their now empty old apartment, but Majid's prospective father-in-law arrives instead. Gradually, it becomes apparent the older man was himself the intruder, though he denies attacking Rana, implying he simply startled her. Emad calls the old man's family to the apartment, and locks him in a small room to wait, intending to reveal his true character to them all. When he opens the room the old man appears to be having heart trouble and Emad calls Rana in a panic. When Rana learns what Emad intends, she says it will be over between them if he pursues his revenge.

When the family arrives they believe they have been called to a medical emergency, thanking Emad for saving his life. Just before they leave, Emad insists on settling his account with the old man in private, returning the money he had left after Rana's assault. Unseen by the family, Emad slaps the old man, who then collapses as he is leaving with his family, and they call an ambulance. Rana and Emad return to the theatre together.

The story is narrated in first person by Porter Wren, a columnist and crime reporter for a New York City newspaper with a reputation as a good listener. One night, he attends an after work party hosted by publishing magnate Hobbs, who has just purchased the newspaper. He is approached by socialite Caroline Crowley, whom Porter recognizes from headlines regarding the death of her husband, Simon. Simon was a successful movie producer obsessed with capturing authentic life, often disappearing at night to film random things. His body was discovered in the rubble of a demolished building. No one could figure out how the body got there, as the site was fenced off and locked up.

Caroline invites Porter to her apartment where she shows him confidential police reports related to Simon's still-unsolved death. She asks Porter to investigate and, over a series of meetings, gradually seduces him. Porter, whose relationship with his wife Lisa and children has become stale, soon gives in.

Going through Simon's belongings, Porter forms an image of him as an eccentric and controlling man. He filmed his own life almost obsessively, sometimes with hidden cameras, and subjected Caroline to cruel pranks and mind games for the sake of capturing authentic reactions. She has a vault filled with thousands of memory cards containing footage of these incidents. None of it, however, gives Porter any insights into his death.

Hobbs learns of Porter's affair with Caroline, and forces him into an investigation on Hobbs' behalf by making threats against Porter's family. Hobbs is looking for a particular memory card he believes Caroline is using to blackmail him. When Porter questions her, Caroline admits she is also looking for the memory card. Simon, after beating her in a drinking game, dared her to have sex with a stranger and record the encounter with a hidden camera. She randomly crossed paths with Hobbs and decided to sleep with him. When Simon watched the video, something about it infuriated him and he hid the memory card; after his death, Hobbs began threatening her. Porter, forcing Caroline to admit she only seduced him to enlist his help, leaves in disgust. Outside his house, he is accosted by thugs working for Hobbs, who beat him up and promise to do worse until he finds the video.

Porter goes to see Simon's father, who is in a nursing home, but he is unresponsive. Porter discovers a video camera in a beside table, but the memory card in it only has footage of Simon visiting his father. Meanwhile, Hobbs' men force their way into Porter's house and accidentally shoot and wound his son, causing a distraught Lisa to take the children and walk out on Porter. After attacking Hobbs' lawyer in revenge, Porter watches the nursing home video again and realizes Simon's father had regular visits from a lady named Mrs. Segal. He breaks into her house and finds financial records indicating that she has been billing Simon’s estate for the visits to Simon’s father but also for unknown services at $5000 per month. Before he can find the memory card, Mrs. Segal returns to find him there. After explaining himself, he learns that she is a friend of Simon's family, who became a surrogate mother to Simon after his own mother passed away when he was a child. Wanting to repay her kindness, he arranged a monthly allowance for her once he became rich. Mrs. Segal felt obligated to earn the money, and became a caretaker of sorts to Simon's father. Questioned by Porter about the charges to the estate, Mrs. Segal reveals she was asked by Simon before his death to send copies of a memory card to Hobbs every month. Never having seen what is on it, she gives her last remaining copy of the card to Porter. Watching it, he sees that Hobbs and Caroline had a long and intensely personal conversation before they had sex.

Porter returns the video to Hobbs, ending the threat against him and his family. In a show of good faith, Hobbs gives him a key his men found when searching Caroline's apartment for the video. Porter figures out the key is for the basement lock of the building where Simon was found. He goes there and discovers another hidden camera. The memory card in this one reveals Simon took Caroline to the building the night he died. Having watched the sex tape, he demands to know a dark secret about her stepfather that she revealed to Hobbs. Porter watches as Simon's violent interrogation of Caroline leads to his death.

The next morning, Porter meets Caroline and reveals the recording. He gives her a copy, with the original as insurance against her contacting his family (something she had previously done for her own enjoyment). She in turn reveals the secret she told to Hobbs but kept from Simon. Porter wishes her well and leaves.

In voiceover, Porter expresses guilt for all that happened, including his divorce, while admitting that the experience has both corrupted him and revealed an inner darkness that was always there. In the final scene, Porter drives by the house of a now-remarried Caroline and they look at each other one last time.

Bobby, a compulsive gambler, lives with his invalid mother, Audrey, who disapproves of his gambling habit, as gambling was his father's ruin. Bobby dates Kim, a waitress at Chips' gaming hall, where he spends most of his time in poker games. As Audrey's bills pile up and Bobby's losing streak continues, Bobby's friend Ben suggests Bobby enter a high stakes poker game he has heard about and share the winnings. Convinced that the bankers will be easy prey, they steal a car to raise enough money for the buy-in. When this is not enough, Bobby steals his mother's life savings.

The game is hosted by a wealthy man known as Turk. Amused to see Bobby there, Chips vouches for him, though Bobby is frustrated to see that he will be competing against another skilled player. Chips and Bobby easily eliminate the bankers, and when they are the only ones left, Turk takes out a suitcase that contains $250,000. Chips wins the pot despite not looking at his cards, frustrating Bobby. When he returns home, Bobby's mother kicks him out as he apologizes. Desperate, he moves in with Kim, who makes him agree to get his life in order if they are to be serious.

Realizing that Turk keeps the game's pot poorly-guarded and in the open, Chips offers to hire Bobby to rob the next monthly game, which he will attend. Bobby initially refuses, but when he and Ben become depressed over their dead-end jobs at a factory floor, Ben talks him into it. Bobby and Ben storm the poker game with shotguns and tear gas. When Turk is reluctant to hand over the pot, they threaten his child. Although Chips is frustrated with their over-the-top entrance and lack of warning over the tear gas, he splits the take with them; both receive $50,000.

Bobby repays his mother, settles his debts, and upgrades her care to include a new experimental drug. Chips provides an alibi for him, telling Turk that he has security footage of Bobby at the gaming hall. When Kim finds out how Bobby got the money, she makes him swear to go straight and avoid Chips. Bobby does so but asks why she hates Chips, guessing that she dated him. Kim confirms this and says that Chips once told her that he cheated Bobby's father out of a major win. Enraged, Bobby confronts Chips, who throws him out and turns in Ben to Turk.

After killing Ben, Turk goes to Bobby's house. Bobby offers to help Turk get to Chips. Though Turk at first refuses to believe Chips was responsible for the heist, he agrees to Bobby's plan. Kim, an aspiring actress, arranges a meeting between Chips and Bobby, pretending to set up Bobby. Bobby talks Chips into playing one final game of poker to settle their dispute. As Bobby wins, Turk enters the room and kills Chips and his henchmen. As Turk deliberates over whether to kill Bobby, the police enter and kill him. Bobby escapes the bloodbath and thanks Kim for her help in setting it up.

One day when his mom comes after him in a drunken rage, Icare accidentally pushes her down the stairs, causing her death. Later on, Icare makes a deposition to Police Officer Raymond.

As mementos, he keeps one of his mom's beer cans and a kite he made with a drawing of his father as a superhero.

Raymond brings Courgette to an orphanage. Simon, one of the kids there, initially picks on Courgette and tries to force him to say what happened to his parents.

After winning the 1946 election with the support of the Communists, Chile's president turns against them, bans the party and orders mass arrests. The senator Pablo Neruda, former ambassador and well-known poet, speaks out forcefully against the repression. Warned that he is in danger, with his wife Delia he takes the road through the mountains to Argentina, but they are turned back at the frontier and have to go into hiding.

A keen young policeman, Óscar Peluchonneau, is appointed to lead the hunt for the fugitives. He reasons that to catch his man he must first get to know him, so he studies Neruda's life and poetry. Neruda meanwhile, wanting to mobilise resistance, makes sudden appearances and leaves volumes of his poetry with people. A game of cat and mouse ensues, with Peluchonneau and his police always a step behind. As the hunt gets too close, Neruda's friends arrange for some smugglers to take him over the frontier on horseback.

Delia has to stay behind and is questioned by Peluchonneau. She tells him that every story has a primary character, with the rest being secondary, and in this story the cop is secondary. This remark unsettles Peluchonneau, who plays the dedicated cop but has never been sure of his inner identity. She then destroys his confidence completely by saying that in this story Neruda with his poetry and political commitment is reality and will endure, but Peluchonneau is merely a fiction.

As Neruda's group climbs slowly through the wintry forests towards the frontier, Peluchonneau follows them but, unable to catch up, lets himself die on the snow-covered mountaintop. Neruda eventually finds the corpse in the snow: Peluchonneau's insecure hold on reality has ended and he has melted back into fiction. Neruda flies to Paris, where he is welcomed by his friend Pablo Picasso and becomes a media sensation. Neruda mentions Peluchonneau's name during the subsequent press conference, allowing him to live on through memory.

In October 1988, twelve-year-old Bill Denbrough crafts a paper sailboat for Georgie, his six-year-old brother. Georgie sails the boat along the rainy streets of small town Derry, Maine, only to have it fall down a storm drain. As he attempts to retrieve it, Georgie sees a clown in the drain, who introduces himself as "Pennywise the Dancing Clown". Pennywise entices Georgie to come closer, then rips his arm off and drags him into the sewer.

The following summer in June 1989, Bill and his friends Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak, and Stan Uris run afoul of older bullies Henry Bowers, Belch Huggins, Patrick Hockstetter, and Victor Criss. Bill, still haunted by Georgie's disappearance, calculates that his brother's body may have washed up in a marshy wasteland called the Barrens. He recruits his friends to investigate, believing Georgie may still be alive. Ben Hanscom, one of Bill's new classmates, learns that unexplained tragedies and child disappearances have plagued the town for centuries. Targeted by Bowers' gang, Ben flees into the Barrens and meets Bill's group. They find the sneaker of a missing girl named Betty Ripsom, while Patrick is killed by Pennywise while searching the sewers for Ben.

Beverly Marsh, a girl bullied over her rumored promiscuity, also joins the group; both Bill and Ben develop feelings for her. Later, the group befriends orphan Mike Hanlon after rescuing him from Bowers. Each member of the group has encountered terrifying manifestations of the same menacing clown who attacked Georgie: a headless undead boy (Ben), a sink that spews blood only children can see (Beverly), a diseased and rotting leper (Eddie), a disturbing painting coming alive (Stan), Mike's parents burning alive (Mike), and a frightening phantom of Georgie (Bill). Now calling themselves "The Losers Club", they realize they are all being stalked by the same entity, which they refer to as "It". They determine that It appears as their individual worst fears, awakening every 27 years to feed on the children of Derry before resuming hibernation, and moves about by using the sewer lines, which all lead to an old stone well hidden under an abandoned house on Neibolt Street. After Pennywise attacks them, the group ventures to the house to confront It, only to be separated and terrorized. As Pennywise gloats to Bill about Georgie, the Losers regroup and Beverly impales Pennywise through the head, forcing the clown to retreat. The group flees the house and begins to splinter, with only Bill and Beverly resolute in fighting It.

Weeks later, after Beverly confronts and incapacitates her sexually abusive father, Pennywise abducts her. The Losers Club reassembles and returns to the abandoned house to rescue her. Bowers, who has murdered his abusive father after being driven insane by It, attacks the group; Mike fights back and pushes Bowers down the well. The Losers descend into the sewers and find It's underground lair, which contains a mountain of decayed circus props and children's belongings, around which the bodies of It's child victims float in mid-air. Beverly, now catatonic after being exposed to bright lights inside It's gaping mouth, is restored to consciousness when Ben kisses her. Bill encounters Georgie, but recognizes that he is It in disguise. As Pennywise, It takes Bill hostage, offering to spare the others and go into hibernation if they let It feed on Bill. The Losers reject this, battling with It while overcoming their various fears. It is eventually defeated and retreats deeper into the sewers, with Bill declaring that It will starve during its hibernation. After finding the remnants of Georgie's raincoat, Bill finally comes to terms with his brother's death, with his friends comforting him.

As summer ends, Beverly informs the group of a vision she had while catatonic, where she saw them fighting It again as adults. The Losers swear a blood oath that they will return to Derry as adults if It returns. After the others make their goodbyes and disperse, Beverly and Bill discuss her leaving the next day to live with her aunt in Portland. Before she leaves, Bill reveals his feelings and they kiss.
