On a foggy lake, a long-legged bird flies into the water and, to a musical beat, catches and eats some fish. Eventually, he sees a sparkling orange fish jumping out of the water and vainly attempts to catch it until it begins to rain. The next morning, the bird again spots the fish and gives chase, but his attention is soon diverted by the fish's ability to create rainbow trails when he jumps from the water. But despite his amazement of the sight, the bird lures the fish into a false sense of friendship and proceeds to catch and eat it. However, this meal causes the bird to grow sick, turn orange and fall over dead, after which the fish in the lake begin to devour his corpse.

A viral pandemic causes people to become violent and bestial. Twenty-five years later, young adult Anna and her brother, David, scavenge through the ruins of a nearby city. Spooked by the arrival of a ragged survivor, they flee back into the woods. David injures his ankle and urges Anna to leave him behind, believing their sick mother needs protection. Anna lies to her mother, assuring her that David will return shortly from a hunting trip. When Anna wakes the next morning, her mother is dead.
While gathering water, another stranger follows her back to her shack and introduces himself as Peter. After he agrees to surrender his weapons, Anna invites him in. Impressed with her self-sufficiency and skill, Peter reveals that he comes from a nearby religious commune. Noting the shack's religious iconography, Peter asks if she is a believer. Excited to find she was raised Christian, he invites her to join the commune. Although she initially declines, Anna accompanies Peter after remembering her mother's last wish – that she join other survivors.
On the way, Peter injures his leg in a trap. They bond further as Anna helps him. Peter explains that his parents either died or abandoned him, and the religious commune took him in. Encountering more ragged people, Peter explains they are Berserkers – pagans who worship the plague and act as if they are infected. Eventually, they come upon an old man at a campfire. Peter advises avoiding him, saying he may have set the trap. Anna frustrates Peter by hailing the old man. When they join him, his son comes out of hiding and disarms them. Anna angers Peter by inviting the men to the commune without consulting him. The old man says he has had bad dealings with the commune and pressures Anna to stay with them. Peter kills the men with a hidden knife, saying they would have raped Anna.
Although upset at what she believes to be Peter's unnecessary violence, Anna reluctantly surrenders her weapons to the religious commune when they arrive. Before she can be officially inducted into their community, she finds that a prisoner is to be judged. It turns out to be the man who chased her and David through the woods earlier, and Anna accuses him of killing David. Ben, the head of security, wants to release the prisoner, but Peter and Zack, the religious leader, vote to kill him for his sins. Anna is surprised to learn she must be baptised despite being a Christian. The other women in the commune seem to consider it a sort of marriage ceremony, further worrying her. When she expresses misgivings to Ben, he warns her that such talk could result in being labeled a heretic.
After the baptism, Peter forcefully kisses her. When Zack intimates that her duties include bearing children for the village elders, including Zack and Peter, Anna attempts to leave the commune. Peter stops her, saying God has given her to him. Ben interrupts them to warn that the Berserkers are massing for an attack. Peter, Ben, Anna, and several guards lead the prisoner out of the village, attempting to trade the prisoner's release for the commune's safety. Anna escapes when Berserkers attack them. She is stunned to find David among them. David hides her, and she watches him as he executes Ben. The Berserker who was their prisoner attempts to punish David, upset that he let his sister escape. Anna returns to save David, but he refuses to leave the Berserkers, who he says have taught him to become strong.
Confused, Anna leaves David behind, encountering Peter again. Peter points out that the commune has been razed, and he insists on starting a new one with Anna as his wife. When she refuses, he attempts to rape her. She kills him, and he forgives her with his last words. Back at the commune, Anna finds only one survivor – Judith, Zack's wife. Judith, who hid while the others were tortured, says the harsh world has changed everyone for the worse, but Anna says all involved have simply chosen to act immorally.

Park Choi-go quits from his office table job to open a chicken restaurant in a middle-income neighborhood of Seoul. Renting a plot of land where a sauna stands from the landlord, Seo Myung-dong, he has to face Myung-dong's temperamental granddaughter and the sauna's owner, Bo-ah. For the past five years, Bo-ah, a failing webtoon artist, has been holing up in the sauna after a conflict with a popular webtoon artist over ownership rights led to her being shunned from the community. Myung-dong asks Choi-go to admit Bo-ah as a part-timer in his restaurant in exchange for a lower rent fee, hoping that she can regain her spirit.
Bo-ah is hostile at Choi-go for disturbing her peace and regards him as simply a rich bourgeoisie who wanted to experience the life of a commoner. Helped by her childhood friends: Hwang Min-ah, Oh Yeong-ho, and Kim Kyu-man, they try to sabotage the joint through various means, such as handing out scathing flyers, which backfires when it turns viral and therefore garners attention. However, Choi-go's seriousness at his job and unfailing kindness to Bo-ah cause her to begin questioning her first impression. Since Choi-go never studied cooking, the restaurant operates at a loss until he hires Andrew Kang, a bum with a tremor who used to work at a three-star Michelin restaurant.
Around the time when Bo-ah softens and falls in love with Choi-go, two adversaries come into the scene. The first is Choi-go's ex-girlfriend, Moon So-dam, who works at a food TV program and wants to reconnect with Choi-go by doing a free publicity of the joint. During the broadcast, Min-ah, Yeong-ho, and Kyu-man successfully do a sabotage, causing its suspension for two months. So-dam becomes suspicious of Bo-ah, who did not participate in the plan, tries to warn Choi-go, who refuses to believe her, and attempts to catch the trio off-guard when they try another sabotage. However, Andrew bails them at the last minute and makes them promise not to do it again. The second adversary is Choi-go's domineering mother, So Oh-sook, who is angry at him for quitting his previous job and attempts to reduce his chance of winning big by opening a chicken joint down the street after tricking Bo-ah into giving her his recipe.
Feeling guilty, Bo-ah admits her previous actions to Choi-go and considers resigning. While upset, Choi-go comes to realize that he has grown to love her and confesses, begging her to stay. Min-ah, Yeong-ho, and Kyu-man are initially livid at Bo-ah for not telling them to stop harassing Choi-go sooner, but quickly make amends when a tragedy strikes her: the death of Myung-dong. During the funeral, Bo-ah's deadbeat father, Gong-cheol suddenly appears to take his legal inheritance, despite the fact that his father had left all his possessions to Bo-ah, and redevelop the neighborhood, which would raze the chicken joint to the ground. Assisted by her friends, Bo-ah manages to convince the neighborhood not to sell their land.
Several months later, Choi-go's chicken joint is growing popular. Oh-sook chooses to stop bothering Choi-go and sell her joint. So-dam has moved on and is dating Choi-go's brother, Joon-hyuk, with whom she grew closer while investigating Bo-ah and her friends. Thinking that he has nothing more to offer to Choi-go, Andrew resigns and opens a restaurant nearby. Bo-ah, meanwhile, finally decides to draw webtoon again, having made a promise to Myung-dong to live her life to the fullest.

''Darkling Ship'' is the third adventure in the Border Prowler series, following ''Amycus Probe'' and ''Rogue Moon of Spinstorme'', and concerns the search for and discovery of a 25 million-ton generation ship by the crew of the commando transport, ''Hrunta''.
In Britain in July 1984, a young programmer named Stefan Butler is adapting a "choose your own adventure" book owned by his late mother, ''Bandersnatch'' by Jerome F. Davies, into a revolutionary adventure game. Stefan pitches it to the video game company Tuckersoft, which is run by Mohan Thakur and employs the famous game creator Colin Ritman. Stefan is given the choice of accepting or rejecting help from the company in developing the game. If Stefan accepts, Colin says he chose the "wrong path". The game is released months later and critically panned as "designed by committee". Stefan considers trying again, and the film returns to the day of the offer, and the viewer is given the same choice.
Rejecting the offer, Stefan begins to work on the game on his own from his bedroom, given a September deadline. As the game becomes more complex, Stefan becomes stressed and is hostile to his father Peter. He visits Dr. R. Haynes' clinic for therapy. The viewer may have Stefan explain to Dr. Haynes about his mother's death: when he was five, Peter confiscated his stuffed rabbit toy. His mother was delayed by Stefan's refusal to leave without the rabbit and the train she took derailed, killing her. Stefan feels responsible for her death. Dr. Haynes prescribes Stefan medicine, which the viewer can choose to have Stefan take or flush down the toilet.
The viewer may have Stefan accept an invitation to Colin's flat, where he lives with his girlfriend Kitty and infant daughter Pearl. The pair take hallucinogens and Colin rants about secret government mind-control programs and alternate timelines. To demonstrate his theories, Colin demands Stefan choose one of them to jump off the balcony. If Stefan jumps, he dies and the game is finished by Tuckersoft to poor reviews. If Colin jumps, the whole encounter is revealed to be a dream, but Colin is absent in future scenes.
As the deadline to deliver the game looms, Stefan begins to feel he is being controlled by outside forces. Stefan finds his life mirroring that of Davies, about whom he learns through a book, and a documentary which Colin gives him. Like Davies, he sees recurring imagery of a "branching pathway" symbol, which seemingly led to Davies beheading his own wife. As he begins to mentally break down, the viewer has multiple options to explain to Stefan who has been controlling him, including the option for Stefan to be told that he is being watched on Netflix in the 21st century. The viewer may discover a locked safe that contains either Stefan's old toy rabbit or documents about him being monitored as part of an experiment.
There are numerous possible endings. Stefan may choose to fight his therapist, after which it may be revealed that he is in a film set and that his "dad" is a fellow actor. One set of choices leads to Stefan seemingly crossing through a mirror to his five-year-old self to "die" with his mother in the train crash, causing him to suddenly die in the present. In other paths, the viewer has the option to make Stefan kill his father, then bury or chop up the body. Burying it leads to Stefan being jailed before the release of the game. Dismembering it leads to the successful release of the game, but Stefan goes to prison shortly afterwards and the game is recalled and destroyed. Other scenes show Mohan, Colin or Kitty arriving at Stefan's house, sometimes with the option to kill the characters. In some endings, the viewer is shown the critical reaction to the ''Bandersnatch'' game and the fate of Tuckersoft, which may go out of business. Other endings conclude in the present day with an adult Pearl, now a programmer for Netflix, attempting to adapt ''Bandersnatch'' into an interactive film. The viewer chooses for her to pour tea over her computer or destroy it, which implies she may go down the same path Davies and Stefan did.

The story begins with Spark, an anthropomorphic character of the Formie species, explaining his origins to the player. After obtaining a job as a circus performer, Spark was replaced with a robot bearing a close resemblance to himself. In the present day, Spark overlooks his city in discontent, lamenting the increasing presence of robots in his society. As the robots abruptly begin to attack the people of the city, Spark intervenes to stop them. After Spark defeats the robots throughout the city, he encounters his look-alike from the circus. The look-alike taunts him before running off, igniting a rivalry between the two. Spark subsequently travels across the planet to fight the mobilizing robotic army, learning of their plans for world domination. He dubs his look-alike "Fark", a portmanteau of "Spark" and "fake".
Spark is eventually introduced to a small group of friendly robots and an engineer named Doctor Armstrong. Armstrong explains that he created an autonomous robot to guard Megaraph, a towering robot production facility. The robot, dubbing himself Freom, developed a dogmatic personality and amassed an army through the dissemination of a computer virus. Armstrong also discovered that Fark's intended purpose was to masquerade as an ally of Freom and eventually betray him, but had been unsuccessful in doing so. Armstrong enlists Spark to infiltrate Freom's battle airships as well as Megaraph, where Spark can confront him.
After defeating Fark in a final duel, Spark ascends up Megaraph and encounters Freom sitting atop a throne of machinery. Freom reveals his plan to launch the facility into the planet's orbital ring, bringing about a mass extinction. As Megaraph lifts off into space, Fark thrusts his staff into the sky to aid Spark from the surface. Brandishing the staff, Spark transforms into a more powerful form and pursues Freom up to Megaraph's peak. With his newfound strength, he is able to defeat Freom and thwart his plans.

A woman named Diane Sherman gives birth prematurely to a daughter, whom she later sees lying in an incubator surrounded by hospital staff. The screen reads the definitions of arrhythmia, hemochromatosis, asthma, diabetes, and paralysis. Seventeen years later in Pasco, Washington, Diane lives a quiet life with her now-teenaged daughter, Chloe. Due to the circumstances of her birth, Chloe uses a wheelchair and a stairlift, regularly takes various medications, is homeschooled by her mother, and carries an inhaler for her asthma. She is currently waiting for university acceptance letters, but Diane always collects the mail.
One morning, Chloe is looking for a tin of chocolates in a bag of groceries and finds a bottle of green pills with Diane's name on the label. When questioned, Diane claims that this was merely the receipt wrapped around the container. However, when Chloe later inspects the bottle, she finds that a label bearing her name has been pasted over the original, which has been partially scraped off but is still legible enough to show Diane as the patient. Chloe tries to look up the name of the drug, Trigoxin, but discovers that the house has no Internet connection. She dials a stranger from her mother's bedroom, which has the only working phone, and asks him to look up the drug. The man tells her it is a heart medication and that all pictures of the medication show a small red pill.
Chloe asks her mother to take her to the movies. During the film, while pretending to go to the bathroom, she rushes to the pharmacy across the street. The pharmacist refuses to tell her what the medication is at first, but Chloe eventually tricks her into revealing that it is a relaxant called Ridocaine, which is only approved for dogs. When Chloe asks what would happen if a human took the medication, the pharmacist informs her that it could numb one's legs. Chloe begins to hyperventilate when Diane suddenly runs in. She discreetly sedates her daughter and takes her home.
Chloe wakes up in bed and finds her door locked and chained while Diane is out running an errand. Realizing that she has the house to herself, Chloe drags herself onto the roof, eventually making her way to her mother's bedroom and breaking the window with a soldering iron and some water. She begins to have an asthma attack and only barely manages to crawl to her room and retrieve her inhaler. She tries to use her automated wheelchair ramp to go downstairs, but finds that Diane has cut the power cord. Chloe is forced to throw her wheelchair down the stairs and accidentally falls, sustaining minor injuries but also discovering that she can move one of her toes.
On the road, she sees the mail truck and rushes to stop it. She explains her situation to the postal worker, who agrees to help. However, Diane then drives past, spotting Chloe's wheelchair and stopping. The driver tells Diane he can't let her take Chloe, and Chloe tells the mailman she wants to go to the police. However, while he is closing up the van to take Chloe to the police station, Diane stabs him with a sedative syringe. Chloe blacks out, and when she awakes, she is in the basement of her house, with her wheelchair chained to a steel pole.
In the basement, she discovers all of her college acceptance letters, childhood photos, a death certificate for a girl named Chloe who died two hours after her birth, and an article about a couple who had their baby stolen from the same hospital. She finds a picture of herself as a toddler, walking. When Diane enters, Chloe accuses her of deliberately making her sick and demands the truth. Diane insists everything she ever did was to help and protect Chloe, while filling a syringe with paint thinner, saying it will make her forget. Chloe crawls away and locks herself in a closet. Afraid, but realizing that Diane won't let her die, Chloe swallows the contents of a bottle of organophosphate, forcing Diane to rush her to a hospital.
Chloe wakes up in a hospital bed, intubated and barely able to move. Diane insists that her “daughter” be discharged, but the doctors refuse until Chloe has been evaluated by a mental health professional. Chloe signals to a nurse, who brings her a crayon and paper. While Chloe is attempting to write "MOM" on the paper, a code blue is called and the nurse rushes out. Diane sneaks in and ties Chloe to a wheelchair to escape; the nurse finds the bed empty and alerts hospital security. A panicking Diane pulls out a gun and tries to find an exit, but Chloe is able to move her foot and hold the chair in place so Diane can't move her. Diane begs her “daughter” to come home with her, but Chloe defiantly replies that she doesn't need her any longer. Diane is shot in the arm by security guards, causing her to fall down the stairs.
Seven years later, an adult Chloe goes to a correctional facility; although she still relies on her wheelchair, she is now able to walk short distances with the use of a cane. She visits someone in the infirmary ward, and begins talking about her wonderful husband, children, and job. The screen pans to Diane, now sick and confined to a bed due to her injuries. Chloe takes out three plastic-wrapped Ridocaine pills she hid under her tongue, and tells Diane that she still loves her before asking her to open her mouth wide.

In ancient Egypt, King Memtep makes a covenant with Anubis, lord of the underworld, to create a cursed sword so powerful that whoever possesses it could rule the world. The sword, named the Fang of Anubis, is fueled by taking the souls of its enemies; the names of those killed by the sword are forever written in the Book of Souls.
Nebserek plunders the tomb of King Memtep and steals the Fang of Anubis. Meanwhile, his lieutenant Khensa captures the blacksmith Mathayus (Zach McGowan), who they claim is the Scorpion King (which he denies) and kills his friend Abel. A warrior from Nubia, Tala, frees the blacksmith and heals him with the stings of scorpions. She tells him that her father, Balthazar, King of Nubia, told her to find the legendary Scorpion King to help bring peace to Egypt. She demands he join in a quest to end the evil empire of Nebserek. Nebserek is warned by his priestess that the sword can be destroyed by the Book of Souls, so they begin to seek it out.
On the way to the Valley of the 13th Moon, Mathayus and Tala are captured by Uruk, leader of the Black Arrows, for trespassing. Mathayus requests he die with honor, being hunted, and Uruk accepts. After defeating and sparing the lives of four men and Uruk, Uruk releases them with respect. They continue on their quest to the gateway of the Temple of Scrolls. Tala opens the sacred gate using a lens that manipulates moonlight. Inside, they are attacked by a golem, Enkidu. A woman called Amina appears and explains that Enkidu was formed from clay and brought to life by magic to protect her. She reveals that she is the Book of Souls and sees and feels the souls taken by the Fang of Anubis. Wishing for her to join them, Mathayus traps Enkidu in the cave with a wall of fire and they head to the tomb of Memtep.
The three are attacked on a beach by Harhar (another of Nebsereks's lieutenants) and some soldiers. They kill them all with the help of Enkidu, who braves the flames to protect Amina. They go into a city to get passage on a boat and Mathayus attacks Khensa; he does not kill her. As they escape by boat, Amina sees and feels the death of King Tarqa by Nebserek.

Charlotte Willmore is a talented young cellist who was forced to leave Bachoff, a prestigious music school in Boston, to care for her terminally ill mother. After her mother's death years later, Charlotte reaches out to Anton, the head of the academy, and travels to Shanghai to join him, his wife Paloma, and teachers Geoffrey and Theis in selecting a new student. Charlotte befriends Lizzie, Anton's star pupil who replaced Charlotte at Bachoff. After a night of clubbing, they return to Lizzie's hotel room and have sex.
When Lizzie awakens with a hangover, Charlotte offers her some ibuprofen, which she takes with a shot of alcohol, and joins her on a trip through rural China. Boarding a bus after eating at a street food stall, Lizzie begins to feel progressively ill and takes more of Charlotte's ibuprofen. As her condition worsens, she throws up maggots and spirals into a panic, frightening the other passengers until the driver ejects her and Charlotte from the bus, stranding them in the countryside. Increasingly ill and paranoid, Lizzie sees bugs crawling inside her arm and eventually bursting out of her skin before Charlotte offers her a meat cleaver, and Lizzie hacks off her infected right hand.
It is revealed that Charlotte drugged Lizzie with medication prescribed to Charlotte's late mother, which can induce hallucinations (especially when consumed with alcohol), stole the meat cleaver from the food stall, and manipulated Lizzie into cutting off her own hand.
Three weeks later, Anton and Paloma give their new student from China, Zhang Li, a tour of Bachoff and the "Chapel," an acoustically perfect room where the academy's best students perform. That night, Lizzie arrives unexpectedly, her right hand missing. She explains her recollection of events to Anton and Paloma, and that she was discovered unconscious on the side of the road with a makeshift tourniquet around her arm, keeping her alive. Lizzie is adamant that Charlotte orchestrated the incident out of jealousy. Anton, initially sympathetic, turns cold and informs Lizzie the next day that she must leave the academy. On her way out, she looks at the photos in the hall and smashes a framed picture of Charlotte.
Lizzie travels to Minneapolis to confront Charlotte in her home, having broken in, and overpowers her with a taser before returning to Bachoff with Charlotte bound in the trunk of her car. When Charlotte awakens, she is confronted by Anton and reveals why she orchestrated Lizzie's dismemberment: the plot was spurred by Charlotte seeing a photo of Lizzie in a magazine with an eighth-note tattoo, a symbol for those indoctrinated into an elite group of students whom Anton and his peers sexually abuse as part of a sex cult. Charlotte also bears the tattoo, having experienced years of rape and torture at the hands of Anton for failing to achieve musical "Perfection," and planned Lizzie's amputation to save her from Bachoff, knowing that if she could no longer play the cello, Anton would have no use for Lizzie and discard her. Enraged, Anton brings Charlotte to the Chapel, where she is to perform for him, Paloma, Lizzie, Theis, Geoffrey, and an unwitting Zhang Li. She is seen sitting on the stage, chained by her ankles underneath a red dress, wearing red lipstick with her hair formally styled. Anton states to Charlotte that if she plays a complicated piece without error, she will be free to leave. If she makes an error, Zhang Li will "pay the price" (presumably sexual abuse as was inflicted on Charlotte). However, this is later revealed to be only a lie in order to throw Charlotte off her game.
After the performance in which Charlotte erred, Anton, Paloma, and Zhang Li leave the Chapel, and Theis and Geoffrey bind Charlotte, preparing to gang-rape her. Lizzie threatens to rape Charlotte with her hand stump as revenge, but Theis and Geoffrey suddenly collapse and die. Lizzie and Charlotte kiss, and it is revealed the two conspired together, poisoning the men's drinks. Charlotte's plot to render Lizzie expendable to the academy resulted in Lizzie coming to her senses about Anton's brainwashing, and together they plotted their revenge. Anton finds Paloma drugged and stabbed to death, and is confronted by Charlotte and Lizzie, armed with kitchen knives. They attack Anton, but he manages to wrest the knife from Charlotte, mutilating her arm before Lizzie knocks him unconscious.
Some unspecified time later, Anton, his mouth and eyes sewn shut and limbs amputated, is forced to listen as Charlotte and Lizzie perform for him in the Chapel playing as one, each compensating for the other's missing hand.

In Iran, a series of protests break out between a group of dissidents led by Reza Kazem and the Iranian theocratic government in what is favorably dubbed by the international press as the "Persian Spring." However, Kazem's organization is revealed to be a proxy force for the Iranian government allied with rogue elements in the Russian GRU. The GRU steals two 51T6 anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs) from the Russian armory and then covertly provides it to Kazem through Portuguese arms dealer Urbano da Rocha. Nevertheless, Kazem uses the missiles for his own ends, intent on sending them to low Earth orbit and detonating them, causing the debris to destroy all the satellites at that altitude.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Jack Ryan has been dealing with a multitude of crises at home and abroad. A deadly strain of flu, as well as spring floods, occur across the country, and his political rival, Senator Michelle Chadwick, criticizes his policies using bot-planted fake news stories about him. Overseas, the United States embassy in Cameroon comes under siege from the Cameroonian government eager on arresting opposition leader General Mbida, who had taken refuge there, while Russia is plotting to stage an invasion of Ukraine disguised as a military exercise. Regarding the Persian Spring, President Ryan is the lone dissenting voice in the generally favorable opinion on the events in Iran due to his skepticism of Kazem.
Russian SVR officer Erik Dovzhenko has been coordinating with Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps major Parviz Sassani in capturing and executing dissidents in Iran at great personal risk to himself since his lover Maryam Farhad is secretly allied with Kazem's organization. When Sassani finds out about Farhad and kills her, Dovzhenko decides to defect and flees the country out of guilt. Relentlessly pursued by the Iranian major, he flies to Afghanistan to warn Farhad's friend Ysabel Kashani, who works at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), that Sassani is hunting for him and her due to their connection to Farhad.
Kashani then informs her ex-boyfriend Jack Ryan Jr., who is on the ground in Portugal with his fellow Campus operatives to monitor da Rocha and his French assassin Lucile Fournier, who had just struck a deal with a pair of Russian GRU officers. Ryan and his cousin Dominic "Dom" Caruso travel to the Afghan city of Herat to meet Kashani and Dovzhenko, only to be ambushed and abducted by Taliban opium smugglers critical of Kashani's work shortly after arriving. Caruso barely escapes and contacts Campus operative John Clark before recuperating in the United States military base in Bagram.
After defusing the situation in Cameroon by blackmailing the Cameroonian president into withdrawing troops from the U.S. embassy there, President Ryan covertly sends the Secret Service to shadow Chadwick and protect her from imminent assassination due to the fake news stories. They manage to foil an attempt by SVR officer Elizaveta Bobkova, who was secretly tasked by the GRU. Meanwhile, in Herat, Ryan, Kashani, and Dovzhenko manage to dispatch their captors and travel all the way to neighboring Iran.
In Portugal, Clark and his fellow Campus operatives Domingo "Ding" Chavez, Barry "Midas" Jankowski, and Adara Sherman rescue da Rocha from the Russian GRU officers, who had double-crossed him on the missile deal and had killed Fournier. Da Rocha then tells them about the nuclear weapons, which Clark relays to President Ryan and later to his son. Now in Iran, Ryan, Dovzhenko, and Kashani talk to an Iranian nuclear scientist named Atash Yazdani for information about the missiles in exchange for treating his ill son, when Sassani tracks them down and attacks them. After a fistfight, Yazdani kills the Iranian major, and then agrees to help the trio by installing malware in the nuclear defense facility where he works in Mashhad, crashing the computer system there.
After Yazdani plants the malware, President Ryan orders the destruction of the Mashhad facility, which destroys all but one of the missiles. Ryan, Kashani, Dovzhenko, and Yazdani then pinpoint the location of the second missile to a nearby cave but fail to stop it from being launched into space. However, they locate Kazem and dispatch him there. Meanwhile, with the help of two scientists, President Ryan orders the change in the orbit of an American-owned satellite targeted by the missile, avoiding a collision.
Russia moves its troops out of Ukraine. Yazdani and his son are later transported out of the country. Dovzhenko becomes a double agent for the CIA and SVR, and Kashani decides to work in Russia.

Months have passed since the last episode. Jake (Andy Samberg) and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) have been placed in different prisons. Jake's inmate is Caleb (Tim Meadows), a cannibalistic serial killer while Rosa keeps sending messages for Adrian.
Wanting to get a cellphone to talk to Amy (Melissa Fumero), Jake smuggles Ramen noodles for an inmate, Romero (Lou Diamond Phillips), who gets him a cellphone. However, Warden Granville (Toby Huss) finds noodles in Jake's and Caleb's cell, and decides to send them to gen-pop. Seeking protection, Jake asks Romero to join his gang, to which they agree if he can get a guard fired. Working with Caleb, Jake gets beaten by the guard as Caleb films him. However, Granville finds him with the phone. They get to a deal, to which Granville will give him back the phone and will fire the guard if he uses his connection to Romero for his benefit.

However, they fail to catch her as Hawkins saw them coming.
Jake and Caleb find that Romero uses the showers to transfer the drug but Jake accidentally uses it and it turns out to be methamphetamine. However, this earns him Romero's respect, who tells him he uses the soaps to transfer it. Jake tells it to Granville but finds that Romero will kill him as he's the only other person who knows. Caleb tries to defend him but is stabbed. Then, he and Rosa are freed as Holt found that the pigs were used to hide the diamonds and Hawkins has been arrested.

The film opens in 1825 in "north eastern Australia," with a lone Chinese man panning for gold by a river. Almost immediately after finding a sizable nugget, he is robbed at gunpoint by an unnamed man who subsequently flees into the bush. Shortly after, the unnamed man is himself held at gunpoint by legendary outlaw "Thunderclap" Newman, who claims the nugget. However, their exchange is cut short by the screams of the Chinese man (who is killed offscreen) followed by inhuman roars. Newman shoots the unnamed man in the leg to incapacitate him, intending to distract the approaching threat while he escapes. The creature—a large, hairy, ape-like animal—quickly kills the unnamed man and then chases down and kills Newman.
In the present day, two exterminators-cum-treasure-hunters, Jack and Kent, paddle up the same river from the film's opening, intending to find Newman's gold. They enter the bush, camp for the night, and, the next day, navigate via GPS to a system of lava tubes, where they quickly find Newman's gold. Upon returning to their kayak with the gold in a bag, Kent attempts to murder Jack but is distracted by movement on the far riverbank. Thinking this to be a potential witness, Kent goes after the individual and leaves both Jack's body and the gold.
Meanwhile, park ranger Rhiannon spots the smoke from Jack and Kent's campfire from the previous night and investigates. She soon encounters Jack, who had merely blacked out during Kent's attack and now has the bag of gold. Spotting Kent, Jack hides the bag of gold in the river and urges Rhiannon to call the police. Kent spots them before Rhiannon can radio for assistance and holds them at gunpoint, ordering Rhiannon to throw her radio into the river and threatening to kill them both unless Jack reveals where he hid the gold. Jack lies as to the location of the gold and proceeds to lead Kent on a trek through the bush, during which the three come across a makeshift sleeping area and a large footprint. Kent dismisses this but, when distracted by the creature's roar, is overpowered by Jack, who steals his gun and flees with Rhiannon. Kent is left to face the creature but manages to shelter in a hollowed-out tree truck too small for the creature to enter and scares the creature off by stabbing its hand with a pocketknife. While running from the creature, Jack and Rhiannon discover that it will not cross water.
Upon returning to the river, Kent is confronted by a man in a ghillie suit, Detective McNab (played by Vernon Wells), who is investigating the series of disappearances in the area and suspects it to be the work of a serial killer. McNab is unconvinced by Kent's explanations as to why he is in the remote area and, noting Kent's blood-covered pocketknife, handcuffs him to a large tree root. Kent then tries to claim the presence of an "evolutionary throwback ... a yowie," which McNab ignores. However, while attempting to phone the local police station, McNab (who is revealed to be on suspension) spots the yowie. McNab's phone rings while he is attempting to take a photograph of the yowie, which then brutally dismembers him. Kent resorts to breaking his hand with a rock in order to escape the handcuffs.
While Rhiannon is asleep, Jack attempts to recover the gold and is confronted by Kent on one side of the river (wielding the deceased McNab's gun) and the yowie on the other. Kent, satisfied that the yowie has killed Jack, chases down Rhiannon, shoots her through the leg and uses her as bait to lure the yowie into an ambush. The yowie, having impaled Jack through the leg but stopped short of killing him, flees with Rhiannon back to its lair while Kent is distracted by a snake.
Kent then confronts Jack, having deduced that Jack hid the gold in the river. Jack, who by now considers the gold to be cursed, urges Kent to focus on the yowie. Kent refuses and Jack later kills him after a brief but intense struggle. Jack then tracks the yowie to its lair, coming across an unconscious Rhiannon and a collection of items taken by the yowie from its victims over the years.
Jack attempts to battle the yowie but is clearly outmatched and resolves to flee with Rhiannon. Coming up to a sheer cliff and with the yowie pursuing them, Jack reveals that he took a stick of dynamite from the yowie's collection. He throws the lit dynamite stick at the yowie's feet and the explosion blows the yowie to pieces. Locating a dirt road, Jack and Rhiannon begin to make their way back to civilization.

The evening before he is due to be released on parole after serving ten years for an unspecified crime, Oliver Marks is approached by the lead investigator on his case, Detective Colborne. Suspicious of the official story, Colborne announces his retirement from the police force and asks Oliver to finally tell him the truth. Oliver accepts but requests that Colborne do not act upon what Oliver will tell him.
In 1997, Oliver is in his fourth and final year at the prestigious Dellecher Classical Conservatory, where he resides with his six classmates in a small dormitory called the Castle. As underperforming students are purged every year, the seven of them are the only fourth-year acting students remaining. The night before auditions for ''Julius Caesar'', one of the students—Alexander—suggests that the auditions are pointless as all seven have been consistently typecast — the hero (James), the villain (Alexander), the tyrant (Richard), the temptress (Meredith), the ingénue (Wren), and the unlucky two consigned to bit parts (Oliver and Filippa). When they receive the cast, Alexander's predictions are revealed to be correct.
However, the situation changes at the annual Halloween performance, a select few scenes from ''Macbeth'' fourth year students traditionally perform each year. Each student is mailed an envelope containing their casting assignment and the scenes to prepare, as well as instructions not to share the information with any of their peers. Oliver is assigned the part of Banquo and is surprised to see James, rather than Richard, appear as Macbeth on Halloween night. After the show, the students throw a party during which a drunk and jealous Richard ends up attacking James, nearly drowning him in the lake where the play was staged. Richard reluctantly apologizes, and the group tries to brush off the assault. However, in the coming weeks, Richard grows more violent and begins to attack his fellow students, including his girlfriend Meredith, James, and Oliver, onstage during ''Caesar''. Oliver, Alexander, and James decide to fight back during Caesar's death scene, which quickly spirals out of control. At the cast party, Richard punches a student who had been flirting with Meredith. He proceeds to call Meredith a slut and gets in a physical argument with her as well. Afterwards, Oliver seeks out Meredith to comfort her, and the two end up having sex.
The next morning, Oliver and Meredith are awoken by Filippa. She leads the group to the lake, where they find Richard with his skull broken. He is alive, but barely. James tries to help him, but is stopped by Alexander, who suggests they should let him die and thus end his reign of terror. The group agrees to wait for Richard to die, then call the police and pretend he was already dead when they came upon him.
The students are briefly questioned by the police, led by Detective Colborne, and Richard's death is ruled a drunken accident. Oliver returns home for Thanksgiving and learns his parents will not be paying for his final semester, though the school agrees to let him work part-time as a custodian to alleviate his tuition expenses. After the students return from break, they prepare to perform scenes from ''Romeo and Juliet'', another tradition, at the Christmas masquerade ball. During the performance, Oliver discovers that James is in love with Wren. He becomes jealous and realizes that he is romantically attracted to James.
After Oliver visits Meredith over winter break, they grow closer and begin dating and sleeping together more often. When Oliver returns to Dellecher, he cleans the Castle as part of his new custodial duties, overhearing a visit from Detective Colborne and his partner, during which Colborne admits that, despite the official ruling, he does not believe Richard's death to be an accident. Afterwards, Oliver discovers a bloodstained piece of fabric in the fireplace and hides it among some discarded sets in the Fine Arts Building.
The fourth years are assigned ''King Lear'' as their spring production. However, as the semester progresses, the cast grows increasingly despondent due to Richard's death. Wren begins to suffer fainting spells, James breaks Oliver's nose during combat practice, and Alex overdoses on drugs but survives. The night of the ''Lear'' cast party, James gets drunk and begins acting erratically, only speaking in character as Edmund. The following morning, as Oliver cleans their dorm room, he discovers a bloodstained boat hook hidden in James' mattress.
Oliver confronts James during the intermission of ''Lear'', and James reluctantly confesses. As Richard stormed out of the ''Caesar'' cast party, he assaulted Wren, who was trying to calm him. Wren then begged James to go after Richard, fearing he would hurt himself. James searched for him by the lake, only to realize Richard had been following him the whole time. Richard began to taunt and threaten him, eventually making a homophobic remark in which he accused James and Oliver of being in love with one another and threatening to drown James in the lake. James then grabbed the nearest item — the boat hook — and hit him with it. James also admits that Filippa knew about the murder, and it was she who burned his bloody shirt in the fireplace.
Oliver and James return to ''Lear'', only to see Colborne waiting in the wings. Realizing their time is up, James kisses Oliver onstage. Before Colborne can make an arrest, Oliver confesses to Richard's murder, using a slightly tweaked version of James' story. As his fingerprints are on both the shirt scrap and the boat hook, he is arrested and put on trial, though Colborne does not believe him to be the real killer.
On the day of Oliver's release from prison in 2008, Filippa, the only member of the group with whom he has maintained steady contact, comes to pick him up. Oliver is eager to reunite with James, who had eventually stopped visiting, but is informed that he drowned himself four years earlier. Instead, Oliver goes to visit Meredith, now a television actress living in Chicago. She admits that she was the one who told Colborne to arrest James at the performance, as he confessed to her one day after an intense rehearsal. Oliver admits that he was in love with James while they were together, but says that he also loved her. The two tentatively resume their relationship.
The plot uses elements of classic detective novels, and also contains references to Christie's novels, such as ''The Man in the Brown Suit'', the title of which appears as a headline in a newspaper clipping. The murder of Florence Nightingale Shore, and the character of Mabel Rogers, are based on real people and events.
In 1926, Agatha Christie finds herself in a difficult place when her writing is thwarted by predictable plot lines and her unfaithful husband pushes her for a divorce she does not want. As she searches for an alternative creative route to revive her novel development, she is approached by a woman, Mabel Rogers, seeking help in solving the murder in 1920 of her partner, Florence Nightingale Shore, who had been bludgeoned on a train. Though initially reluctant to facilitate a private investigation, Christie goes undercover while the nation searches for her whereabouts. She soon finds herself taken to a new story with real characters and tangible danger.
Calling herself "Mary Westmacott" (an early Christie pseudonym), she gathers all the suspects in the attack in a country house under the pretext of determining their share of a large inheritance from a fictitious American businessman, with herself as the representative of a law firm and Mabel acting as housekeeper and cook. The suspects include Daphne Miller, a young woman whose nursing career Florence could have ruined if she had lived, Randolph, Florence's cousin who inherited her money, Zaki Hanachi, a French soldier of Algerian ancestry who she helped recover after the war, and who may have been asking her for money, Travis Pickford, a boxer and black marketer who was interviewed by the police, and Mrs. Pamela Rose, the woman Florence was travelling to see. Daphne is accompanied by her abusive father Wade, and Mrs. Rose by her son Franklin, a former chaplain. Mabel is able to search the guests' bags, and finds that Wade Miller may have a pistol with him. To try and force a reaction from the others, "Mary" announces after the first interview that Daphne will get the biggest share of the inheritance.
Events take a harrowing turn when Daphne's father is shot dead. Detective Inspector Dicks arrives with a single constable, complaining that he is shorthanded because of the hunt for Agatha Christie, and that because of this he must conduct the investigation at the house instead of the police station. It is quickly discovered that they have been gathered together under false pretenses, and "Mary" changes her story to suit. Mabel is found in possession of the murder weapon and arrested. Dicks reveals to "Mary" that he knows that she is Agatha Christie. He also knows that Daphne shot her father, based on an injury to her hand from the recoil of the automatic pistol. Christie, having found a vital detail in Florence's diary, tells him she knows who attacked Florence, and asks for his help. They spring a trap to get the real killers to admit their involvement. Even after Dicks and others overhear the conversation, the evidence is too thin to convict them, despite there being proof that they wrote a note blackmailing Daphne into planting the gun in Mabel's room. Instead, the others conspire to frame Florence's killers for the murder of Daphne's father.
Inspector Dicks helps Christie set up the cover story for her disappearance and inadvertently helps her get the idea for a new book. She is shown later completing a manuscript which is implied to be "Death on the Nile", though this was published some years later.

During the 20th century BC, Roman general Mark Antony gifts Egyptian queen Cleopatra three bejeweled eggs as a wedding gift to show his devotion. The eggs are lost in time until two are found by a farmer in 1907, but the last one remains lost. In the present day, John Hartley, who is a criminal profiler for the FBI is assigned to assist Interpol agent Urvashi Das in investigating the potential theft of one of the eggs on display at the Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. The head of security dismisses the concerns, but Hartley reveals the egg is a forgery and the real egg has been stolen. Before the room is sealed shut, international art thief Nolan Booth manages to escape with the egg. Arriving at his home in Bali with the egg, he finds Hartley, along with Das and an Interpol strike team there.
They arrest Booth and take the egg into custody. Unbeknownst to everyone, Booth's main competition, Sarah "The Bishop" Black, disguised as one of the strike team members, swaps the real egg with another forgery. The next day, Das confronts Hartley and has him incarcerated in a remote Russian prison in the same cell as Booth, believing he's responsible for the theft. Shortly after arrival, Black proposes that Booth work with her to find the third egg as he knows about its whereabouts. Booth declines her modest offer, so Hartley suggests they work together to defeat her. If Booth helps him imprison her, Booth will be the number one art thief in the world. The pair escapes from prison, heading to Valencia to steal the second egg, in possession of notorious arms dealer Sotto Voce who is having a masquerade ball.
They find Black, who is also there to steal it. The three arrive in Voce's vault where Hartley and Booth fight Black. Voce arrives with his security detail while Black reveals she is working with Voce. They torture Hartley until Booth reveals the location of the third egg. Black betrays Voce and leaves for Egypt where Booth claims it is. After leaving Valencia, Booth reveals to Hartley that the egg is actually in Argentina, a location only he knows as it was inscribed on his late father's beloved watch which had once belonged to Adolf Hitler's personal art curator Rudolph Zeich. They search the jungle, to find a secret bunker, full of countless Nazi artifacts, including the third egg. Black arrives and steals the egg from them, only to be interrupted by Das and a team of local police.
Hartley, Booth and Black escape in an antique 1931 Mercedes-Benz 770, chased by Das in an armored vehicle. Eventually, they exit near the top of a waterfall where they jump. Booth swims to shore with the egg, only to discover that Hartley and Black are actually "The Bishop" and Hartley was never an FBI profiler but a conman like his father. Booth surrenders the egg and they leave him handcuffed. In Cairo, Hartley and Black deliver the three eggs to an Egyptian billionaire, in time for his daughter's wedding although she is more excited for the wedding singer Ed Sheeran. The wedding is subsequently interrupted by an Interpol raid by Das, who arrest the billionaire, his daughter, and Sheeran.
Six months later, Hartley and Black are met again by Booth in Sardinia, who informs them that he told Das about their Cayman Islands account containing the $300 million payout, which Das freezes leaving them with no money. Booth also reveals that Interpol is on their way to capture them, but offers a chance to escape if they help him with a new heist, which requires three individuals to pull off. They agree and escape, where Das places red notices on all three of them as they begin their heist at the Louvre.
Fifteen years ago, a mysterious hyperspace gate appeared over the Pacific Ocean in our world. Elves, fairies, and other fantastic creatures came through the gate from the other side and established diplomatic relations with Earth. In the present day, Kariana Island and its main city of San-Teresa serves as Earth's "front door" to the magical world on the other side of the gate, and over two million non-humans live within the city, mixing with additional human residents. This results in both prosperous growth for the island, and a seedy underbelly of criminals who seek to take advantage of it. The San-Teresa Metropolitan Police Department is established to keep order within the city between those two forces.
After a drug bust goes horribly wrong, Detective Sergeant Kei Matoba loses both the fairy being sold as a catalyst for new drugs and his partner of four years in the Metropolitan Police to a Semanian attacker. Despite his attitude towards the Semanian people he derisively calls "aliens", Matoba is forced to partner with a Semanian knight to find the fairy lost in the drug bust, as they consider the fairy an important Semanian citizen. From there, Matoba slowly learns to tolerate the Semanian people, while the knight slowly acclimates herself to Earth and its customs.
Don Mercurio, a fresh graduate in medicine, young free-thinker, freemason and republican conspirator against the monarchy, feels compelled to flee Madrid after assassination of general Prim in 1870. He settles in an Andalusian town of Mágina, where he gets engaged in love affair with Agueda, young and beautiful wife of a local conservative and clerical aristocrat, constable Dávalos, owner of the Casa de las Torres palace. The romance is uncovered, Mercurio flees overseas, and his lover gives birth to their son. She is immured alive in 1871, while the anonymous baby is left at a religious institution. Dávalos leaves the town for ever, leaving a guardian to take care of gradually dilapidating building.
The baby, given the name of Pedro Expósito, is adopted by a poor horticultural worker. The young Pedro takes part in the 1890s war in Cuba and returns to Mágina almost simultaneously with his father; in the early 20th century Don Mercurio tries to find out what happened to his son and he apparently succeeds, but Pedro refuses to learn who his parents were. Don Mercurio resumes his practice as a physician, unaware of the fate of his lover. Pedro gets married and has many children, one of them Leonor, in the 1920s the most handsome girl in Mágina. Sometime in the late 1920s she marries Manuel, a humble worker; the couple work hard in horticulture and have 7 children.
An unrelated major Galaz, posted to the Mágina garrison in April 1936, single-handedly prevents rebellion of local troops and shots a lieutenant suspected of leading the plot. He then fights in the Republican army, to leave Spain after the war. Manuel spends the war in ranks of Guardia de Asalto fighting the rebels in nearby mountains; at the day of Nationalist takeover of the town he reports on duty as usual - against the advice of his father-in-law Pedro - and gets immediately arrested; he spends 2 years in a Francoist labor camp.
In 1941 an accidental explosion in half-ruined and uninhabited Casa de las Torres reveals a hidden chamber with the perfectly mummified corps of Agueda Dávalos. Don Mercurio arranges for the mummy to be secretly taken to his place, where because of its rapid disintegration he orders a wax copy; remnants of the mummy are secretly burnt. Don Mercurio dies in few years; his wagon-driver inherits the lab, which for decades remains unused. The love for mummified woman is cultivated by Ramiro the Portraitist, a photographer who unaware of its history cherishes the photograph of mummified corpse he made when discovered in 1941.
A daughter of Manuel and Leonor marries Francisco, a humble Mágina farmer, in the early 1950s. They live extremely laborious, hard and uneventful life, and have one child, Manuel, born in 1956. He grows fed up with provincial town, fascinated by English rock. In 1973, drunk and high on drugs, he probably has sex with Nadia, daughter to comandante Galaz, then librarian in a New York university, who following death of his second wife decides to visit Mágina. Galaz and Nadia leave Mágina shortly; she starts work in tourist business, he becomes a pensioner in a nursery house in New Jersey.
Manuel completes linguistics study in the late 1970s and becomes a simultaneous interpreter, working mostly for the European Parliament in Brussels. He is increasingly detached from his family and town, but does not take root elsewhere and becomes sort of a perfect alien to wherever he lives. Nadia gets married in the US, gives birth and gets divorced when in 1990 she bumps into Manuel at a conference in Madrid. She recognizes him; the two have sex. In two months Manuel arranges for a professional trip to the US, where he finds Nadia; the two meet again and have sex again, apparently in love. In 1991 he returns to Mágina in wake of death of his grandmother Leonor, while Nadia decides she would take a temporary employment in Madrid. Manuel discovers the true story of Aguado and Mercurio, revealed by old Don Mercurio's wagon-driver. Nadia comes to Mágina; Manuel meets her and the two go to a hotel.
Roman Coleman has been incarcerated for 12 years after leaving his domestic partner permanently brain damaged in an attack. Aware of his short temper and violent tendencies, he has resisted efforts to be reintegrated back into society. While working outdoor maintenance, Roman is placed in a rehabilitation program run by rancher Myles that assigns prisoners with training wild mustangs. Each prisoner in the program is given a specific horse to train and Roman is required to complete the training within 12 weeks before his horse is sold at an auction.
Roman initially struggles with the training of his mustang, but under the guidance of Henry, an inmate regarded as the top horse trainer, he begins to make progress. As the weeks pass, Roman becomes close with the horse, whom he names Marquis, and forms a friendship with Henry. The program suffers a blow, however, when Henry is murdered by Dan, Roman's cellmate. Roman retaliates by strangling Dan into unconsciousness before they are broken up by guards.
The day of the auction arrives, which Roman invites his pregnant daughter Martha to attend with the hope of improving his relationship with her. While Roman showcases Marquis to the auctioneers, he becomes distracted after he notices Martha is not present. This distraction leads to disaster when Marquis is startled by an overhead helicopter, causing Roman to fall off his horse and nearly be trampled as the other trainers restrain Marquis. Shortly afterwards, Roman learns from Myles that Marquis has been deemed untrainable and will be euthanized. Taking advantage of the prison gates being damaged by a storm, Roman is able to help Marquis escape.
Some time later, Roman receives a letter from Martha acknowledging her father's refusal to leave prison. The letter also includes a photo of Martha with Roman's newly-born grandson, who she intends to have Roman meet during her next visit. After Roman finishes reading the letter, he spots Marquis standing by the prison gates and smiles.
The book is composed of three parts that take place over different periods of time in the 2000s.
The 25-year old Alice, who works for a publishing company, starts an affair with a famous writer, Ezra Blazer. They both live and work in New York City, and the story follows their affair over time, as many world events happen in the background, most noticeably the start of the Iraq War. Because Blazer is very famous, they spend most of their time inside his apartment often watching TV and discussing the 2003 and 2004 ALCS playoffs between Red Sox and Yankees.
It's Christmas 2008 and Amar Jaafari, an American citizen of Iraqi-Kurdish descent is held for questioning at the Heathrow Airport in London on his way to Iraq. During the hours of his detention, he recalls his life in America, his visits to Iraq during the war, and his brother, a doctor who learned to play piano during his childhood in America, who has gone missing.
More years have passed, and during a radio interview with the BBC in 2011, we learn that Ezra Blazer has finally won the Nobel Prize in literature. During the interview he mentions that a young friend of his has written a little novel, hinting that Amar's story is "Alice's creative jailbreak."
Lewis Eliot, his brother Martin, and Cambridge fellow, Walter Luke become involved with the scientific community and reaction to the development and deployment of nuclear weapons by Britain during the Second World War.
The story's main location is a fictional early British nuclear experimental establishment where the characters try to get an early nuclear pile going and also try to harvest enough enriched uranium or plutonium (they settle on going for plutonium) to try and beat the Americans to the bomb.
As Snow's science researchers, and science civil servant, characters are, or were, portrayed as Cambridge dons in this book (and the previous book in the series - ''The Masters'') he clearly did want to make the location of the research station the real UK nuclear Centre at Harwell (which was once known as the Atomic Energy Research Establishment ) with its close association with Oxford. So instead, as this line from the book puts it,: “For a site, they picked on a place called Barford –which I had not heard of, but found to be a village in Warwickshire, a few miles from Stratford-upon-Avon”.
Several commentators on the book claim, or suggest, that not only is the research station fictional but so is the village of Barford. In fact Barford is a real village in Warwickshire, and it is indeed not far from Stratford-upon-Avon. However, if the “final” version of the research station as described in the last chapter of the book was real it would certainly have more than dominated the actual real village of Barford.
A breakaway extremist group of IRA steals nuclear detonators hidden inside six glass bottles of Beamish. Meanwhile, an innocent tourist named Ray Brock (played by Don Wilson) arrives in Headford, Co. Galway to visit Alice, a woman whom he has been conversing with online. In order to win favour with Alice, Ray goes to a local pub to purchase a six-pack of Beamish. He accidentally purchases the same six-pack that the nuclear detonators are hidden in, and becomes embroiled in a cat-and-mouse chase between the IRA extremists, US intelligence and the Garda Síochána.
During a senior calculus class at Covington High, senior student Katelyn Ogden inexplicably explodes, spraying the surrounding students and classroom with blood. The police take the class into custody during an investigation, but aside from ruling out an attack, are unable to determine the cause of the explosion.
During custody, senior student Mara Carlyle (Katherine Langford) suggests to the class that it could happen again, a sentiment taken seriously by her peers. Afterwards, an unknown person texts her, claiming to have had a crush on her for multiple years: Mara promptly asks for the texter not to send a dick pic, to which the individual responds with a picture of Richard Nixon.
Following Katelyn's funeral service, Mara gets high on mushrooms purchased from school dealers, Jenna and Joe Dalton (Laine MacNeil and Clive Holloway), and goes for tea with her best friend Tess (Hayley Law); fellow student Dylan (Charlie Plummer) approaches the pair and reveals himself to be the unknown texter with said crush on Mara. Dylan explains how he had begun thinking of life and how quickly it could end, and upon hearing Mara's suggestion of the incident repeating itself, realized that he needed to take action.
They begin seeing one another and attend a school football game and house party, although each is cut short when a jock, Perry Love, and drink server, Cranberry Bollinger, explode, respectively, sending the attendees into a panic. Classes are cancelled for a while, and people begin to dub the explosions as "The Covington Curse". The incidents attract the attention of numerous government agencies, who place FBI Agent Carla Rosetti (Yvonne Orji) on the case; she enlists Mara and Tess as aid.
While investigating the possible involvement of drugs, Mara goes for a drive with the school dealers, the Dalton twins; they explode and the car crashes. Dylan arrives and consoles a dazed Mara, before federal agents arrive in protective suits and detain them. The entire senior class is placed in observation while the government devises a "Snooze Button" pill to "cure" the students, during which multiple students explode. Realizing they should live like every day might be their last, Mara and Dylan continue seeing each other, pursuing a hedonistic lifestyle; they have sex and dance to 80s music in an old barn.
School resumes for the senior class, although the townspeople begin to fear the students and Agent Rosetti inadvertently admits to Mara that the explosions may not yet be over. While demonstrating the supposed effectiveness of the pill at a school seminar, a student explodes, triggering a chain reaction of explosions in the classroom. Dozens of students explode during the ensuing rampage, whereas Mara and Dylan are separated by the mob in a struggle to escape the building. Mara exits through a side entrance with ease and reunites with Dylan, who tells her he's glad she's still here and then explodes, injuring Mara in the process.
Following Dylan's death, a despondent Mara turns to alcohol, and in the ensuing weeks drunkenly falls out with her parents and Tess, as well as accidentally breaking Agent Rosetti's car window with a stolen bottle of whiskey. Mara also reads student comments online speculating that she might be the Covington Curse, as she was present at the scene of each occurring explosion. At the combined graduation/prom ceremony, Mara reconciles with Tess, who reveals that she is leaving town for a beach house that night and invites her to come. Believing herself to be the curse, Mara casually apologizes to the attendees for causing the explosions, but others chime in, claiming responsibility over circumstantial personal problems. Leaving the event, Mara visits Dylan's grave, and has a heart-to-heart conversation with his mother, who convinces her to move on with her life. Mara apologizes to her parents and sobers up.
After the rampage, the next "Snooze Button" pill seems to be effective and the explosions stop anticlimactically, leaving 31 students in the senior class dead. Covington High is closed by the authorities and scheduled for demolition. Mara gains possession of Dylan's milk van and – with her parents' blessing – moves into the beach house with Tess, as they had intended to do since childhood. The film ends with Mara telling the viewers to enjoy life while it lasts, as, "[What] the fuck else can you do?"
Caitlin, who grew up in New York before her family moved to Scotland, attends the funeral of her father, Leonard. Caitlin’s mother, Mary, delivers a graveside speech. Caitlin, supported by her best friend Hannah, returns to her third-year studies at the Glasgow School of Art.
Caitlin attends a seminar given by her lecturer, Fiona. Caitlin is still sad over her father’s passing and Hannah tries to cheer her up with an evening in. In high spirits, they see a guy spraying graffiti on the street corner and chase him down the street and into a party.
The next day, giving a lecture on abstract expressionism, Fiona tells the class that women have been overlooked and written out of history in the art books. It is up to them to change things, says Fiona. Caitlin meets with the guy from the party, Rory, and he invites her on a date to a museum. She accepts, and they talk about art as they view the pieces, agreeing that the time for it to be decorative is past—art should be what you see in the street each day.
Caitlin, who is struggling to settle upon her end-of-year presentation, says that she wants to paint more, and begins work on a huge canvas. Frustrated, she throws paint all over her work, scarring it. Mary, meanwhile, who is also an artist, is struggling to get back to work after Leonard’s death, and likewise trashes her creation. Caitlin gets a text message on her phone and rushes home to see her mum and finds her passed out, drunk. Awakening her, Caitlin explains that she can’t be there for her right now, and Mary assures her that it won’t happen again.
In another lecture, Hannah sits next to Stacey, another student in the class. Caitlin is again working on her canvas and again marring it as she loses her temper. Mary achieves her own small breakthrough as she begins to sketch. Stacey calls Hannah and they agree to go out to dinner despite Hannah having loose plans with Caitlin that evening. When Caitlin later texts her, Hannah texts back that she should join her at the club she’s in. Caitlin dances with Rory, while Hannah gets with Stacey. Both couples wind up back at the house, making out in Caitlin and Hannah’s respective bedrooms, though Rory is too drunk for things to progress.
The next morning, in the kitchen, Caitlin and Hannah have a vicious row in front of Stacey and Rory. It begins over who drank the almond milk but rapidly progresses to more personal resentments. Caitlin storms off to go and paint her canvas. Hannah, working on her own presentation, creates a mosaic of apology notes. She also leaves a conciliatory note in Caitlin’s bedroom, asking her to call her. Caitlin returns home to see her mum and pour out her heart, admitting that she feels threatened by Stacey. Mary soothes her and assures her that Hannah will be feeling every bit as bad.
Back in Glasgow working on her canvas, Caitlin is interrupted by Hannah arriving to apologize. They hug and make up. Rory also turns up later but Caitlin tells him that she just wants to do her own thing right now. For the class’s final lecture, they are visited by Turner Prize-winning Scottish artist Catherine Hendricks, who talks of how her troubled life and celebrated art intersect. Later, Catherine accompanies Fiona to take a look at Caitlin’s presentation. Caitlin tells Catherine of her father’s passing and of how she’s processed it through her work. Catherine informs her that its meaning will change over the years, and then invites Caitlin to be her assistant on a project in London. Caitlin accepts but says that she does her best work in tandem with Hannah, who is also invited along.

In a future in which monarchy has made a comeback (even the United States of America has an elective king), Hollywood actor Claude Godwin has become bored with his career. Wandering along the California coast with a friend, he encounters a nude woman who has fallen asleep sunbathing on a secluded beach, On a whim, the two play a practical joke, photographing an equally nude Claude beside her with her own camera. When she wakes and has her pictures developed, they figure she will be in for a rude surprise.
The joke proves to be on Claude when some time later he is kidnapped to Greenland. The sleeping woman, it transpires, that nation's Crown Princess Karen, in California incognito while attending college. As she sent her film home to be developed, Claude's private joke has blown up into a major scandal, and the straitlaced Greenlanders are not amused. By order of the dictatorial prime minister Anker Gram, he is to wed the recalled Princess Karen forthwith! Moreover, Claude finds himself a pawn in a scheme by Gram to bring about a union of Greenland with Great Britain. By means of a newly invented device that can peer into the past, it has been determined that Claude is the legitimate descendant and heir of Harold Godwinson, the last Saxon king of England, who had been overthrown by William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He thus has a claim to the British throne antedating that of all subsequent holders.
Claude quickly discovers himself enmeshed in a tangled web of conspiracies involving Gram's power-play, with various parties seeking to contact and enlist him to their sides be means of recorded message capsules smuggled to him inside gumdrops. Some of them have more malevolent intentions; there is one attempt to murder him with a poisoned gumdrop (it sickens one of his police guards instead), and another to have him destroy the temporal viewer with an explosive candy bar (suspicious on account of the assassination attempt, he throws it into the sea instead). As events progress, he finds himself allied with Princess Karen to forestall their forced marriage, Greenland's King Edvard III, who hopes Claude can help him exchange his throne for a movie career, and Viggo and Karl Bruun, inventors of the temporal viewer, who want their device used for historical research rather than political machinations. In opposition are Werner von Wittelsbach, the Jacobite pretender to the British throne who is living in exile in Greenland, and Thor Thomsen, a corrupt businessman backing Gram who fears the Bruuns' machine will expose his criminal dealings. But as long as Claude remains captive to Gram, the prime minister holds all the cards.
Things come to a head at the betrothal dinner held for Claude and Karen, at which everyone gets plastered. In the aftermath, Wittelsbach takes advantage of the drunkenness of Claude's guard to challenge the captive to a sword duel. The guard is injured trying to intervene, which lets Claude get the upper hand. With the others unconscious, he gets himself free of his restraining device, links up with the royals and the Bruuns, and with them commandeer a helicopter in which to make a break for Canada with the temporal viewer. Thomsen and Wittelsbach soon follow in a plane and force them down in Labrador. They smash the machine and prepare to murder Claude and the Bruuns, but the tables are turned when King Edvard manages to shoot Wittelsbach and get the drop on Thomsen.
Later, back in California, ex-King Edvard is happy at having landed a bit part in a movie thanks to Claude's influence, the Bruuns are restoring their machine, and Claude and Karen, their former aversion to being forced to wed notwithstanding, are dating. Claude has also learned that he is not after all the last heir of Harold Godwinson and the Saxon claim to the British throne; while the temporal viewer is real, that bit of data had been faked by Gram.
In the wake of World War III, the World Constitutional Convention, convened in the former headquarters of the United Civilized States in the Rhône Valley, is negotiating the form to be taken by the first true world government. Dr. Mateo Aguirre, delegate from the Andean Federation, is upset because the convention refuses to take seriously his proposed "Space Clause," intended to regulate relations between Earth and possible extraterrestrial civilizations. Moreover, he fears for his life. He sold the dictatorial head of the federation, President Juan de la Torre, on promoting the clause, to the extent that La Torre will feel affronted if it is not adopted. In that event, he may well take out his embarrassment on Aguirre by having him executed. Journalist Dagobert Heck, sympathetic to Aquirre's plight, decides to try to load the dice in the clause's favor before the final vote. He enlists the aid of Richard Nugent, a former colleague in India, in his effort.
The next day, American Secretary of State Myron Kalish, rotating president of the convention, receives a report of an alien landing in Sikkim. Pending confirmation of the report, Kalish postpones the vote, as the timing appears suspicious and the delegates suspect a hoax. Yet, after the convention adjourns for the day additional reports are received, which continue the next morning, all appearing to support the authenticity of the landing. As a result, La Torre redoubles his efforts on behalf of the Space Clause, and there is a scramble to pass it. The clause is adopted just before La Torre and Aguirre fly back to South America in response to domestic disturbances there.
Even before the Andeans arrive home, however, bad news is received; the landing was a hoax after all, perpetrated by Heck and Nugent. While no one thinks it worthwhile to repeal the clause, La Torre is humiliated. Feeling himself a laughing stock, the dictator furiously orders Aquirre hung. Following their return to the federation, despite pleas for clemency from various other countries, La Torre personally oversees the execution. Immediately after the hanging, however, La Torre is visited by Mencias Mola, his ambassador to Mexico. A genuine alien landing occurred there a few hours before, and Mencias has brought Vraku, one of the extraterrestrials, to meet La Torre in an effort to have Aguirre spared. In an abrupt about-face, La Torre proclaims the late Aguirre a martyr to his country and a paragon of wisdom and loyalty who is to be recognized with a medal—sadly, a posthumous award.

When he discovers that he has been swindled, Lawrence tries to recover his money.
The reptilian alien Gnoth, Yerethian consul to Earth, is preparing to go out to a drive-in movie with his wife Triw. The outing is business as well as pleasure, as it's part of Gnoth's job to monitor Terran popular entertainment to determine Yerethians are being represented fairly. Since their egg is due to hatch in four days and they are concerned about its safety, they have hired Patrice Ober, a local teen, to babysit it. After giving Patrice her instructions they leave, and Pat settles down to read ''Jane Eyre'' as part of her high school homework. When that palls she thinks about boys, notably the two currently vying for her affection, the aggressive football hero Terry Blaine and the more gentlemanly intellectual Andy Dupas.
Meanwhile, Terry has called Pat's house and been told by her mother where she is. Her father is put out over this, suspecting Terry's intentions. Terry zips off to the Yerethians' home on his buzzer, or flying platform, to surprise Pat. He has brought some records, and entices her into dancing, during which they accidentally bump the incubator, injuring Pat and eliciting odd sounds from the egg within. Pat begs off from further dancing, whereupon Terry begins a forceful campaign of seduction. Andy, in the meantime, has also called the Obers asking about Pat. Pat's father, feeling him a responsible counterbalance to the reckless Terry, lets him know where she is as well.
At the Yerethians', the distracted teens fail to notice that the egg is hatching, and the baby alien, resembling a long-legged, long-necked alligator, emerging from the incubator. Yerethian young are mindless, instinct-driven carnivores during their first three years of life, after which they become teachable. Seeing the humans as prey, it immediately makes for them. They flee to the front door, but the Yerethian is speedier than they are, albeit less adept at sharp turns, and catches up before they can open it. They make for the powder room; Terry, reaching it first, locks himself in, leaving Pat to her fate. She can barely keep ahead of the alien in the pursuit that follows, and is trapped by the time Andy arrives at the house. The quick-thinking Andy attracts the baby's attention and ducks under a couch; it gets stuck trying to follow, and as it struggles he whips off his belt and chokes the creature with it.
At this point the parents arrive home; Triw gathers up her baby, clouting it into quiescence when it tries to bite her, while Gnoth sternly demands explanations. At first they blame the teens for causing their egg to hatch prematurely by jostling it, but it soon becomes apparent that Triw had miscalculated the incubation time due to confusion in reconciling the Yerethian and Terran calendars; the egg in fact hatched right on time. Gnoth proposes they all keep the matter quiet to prevent embarrassment to everyone concerned. The teenagers agree.
Terry flies off in disgrace, while Andy drives Pat back home, taking the rogue's place in her regard. Alas for romance; Andy is heading off to college soon, and expects to be away for years earning his Ph.D. She asks if he wants her to wait for him, but Andy, practically, notes that's too much to expect of someone so young. He allows that if she's still around when he's done with college they can talk about it. Broken-hearted, Pat goes to bed and cries on her pillow.

Lofting is an alcoholic doctor stationed at the Terran Embassy on the planet Ahlia, noted for his benevolence to the reptilian alien natives. When he learns his old Ahlian friend Uzhegh has died he goes on a massive bender. Two friends at the embassy ply him with drink to find out why, and he reveals the story.
The events occur years before, at the time of the First Interplanetary Conference on Terra that set up the Confederated Planets. It is touch-and-go whether Ahlia will join, but vital to the agreement's success. Near the conference site, in the American suburb of Far Hills, five delinquent youths, Meehan, Fisher, Carmichael, Snow and Kraus, hang around looking for trouble, or as they view it, "fun." They spot Norman Riegel, an assistant professor of astromagnetics, out walking with the Ahlian delegate, Uzhegh of Kich. The delinquents haze the two until Uzhegh scares them off by baring his teeth and flicking his tongue. Asking Riegel why he suffered their taunts, the Ahlian learns that in Terra's overly-permissive legal environment teens can get away with practically anything, while those who try to rein them in risk prosecution. The two proceed on to the Scarron estate, where Norman and his wife Alice run a care center for offspring of the interstellar delegates. Doctor Lofting, at the time a local general practitioner, assists them by keeping their charges in good health. With the constitution ready to be signed and the young soon to be returned to their parents, a going-away party is being held.
Meanwhile, the five toughs plot vengeance for their humiliation. A brief encounter with Dr. Lofting cements their determination. They gather in disguise near the estate that evening, spying on the partying extraterrestrials until a storm breaks and they start going inside. One, the giddy, otter-like Gordonian Kranakiloa, dashes back out towards the empty swimming pool. Uzhegh's son, the responsible Tsitsav, follows to bring him back. At this point the delinquents make their move, rushing towards Kranakiloa with baseball bats; Tsitsav comes between them and takes the attack instead. They bash his skull in, though Meehan also suffers injuries. At this point Riegel and Lofting come to the rescue, and the youths flee, scattering. But Tsitsav is dead. Riegel and Lofting realize this will break up the conference, as there will be no justice for the murdered Ahlian; even if they could positively identify the culprits, as juveniles the law won't hold them responsible. They decide to report the death as an accident, a result of Tsitsav falling into the pool while trying to retrieve Kranakiloa. As the Gordonian has been frightened into hysteria by the storm and never saw the delinquents, they aren't contradicted.
Concluding his tale, Lofting tells his friends the lie stood, and as a result "there was a lot of grief and sympathy but no hostility," the conference was a success, and the agreement was signed, with Ahlia included. The Riegels, disgusted with Far Hills, moved away, and ultimately Lofting did as well. Wracked by guilt for having concealed the crime, he took to drink and got himself posted to Ahlia, where he has tried to "make it up to them" through good works. As for the delinquents, he notes that Meehan was eventually killed in a knife fight over a girl, Carmichael was jailed for burglary, Fisher died trying to fly his family's plane under a bridge, and the remaining two "grew up to be more or less normal adults." Some years later the Terran fad for permissive child-rearing gave way to a stricter disciplinary regime, "but from my point of view, the harm had been done."
A group of three astronauts, Aiden, Mila and Silas, are sent aboard The Espial across space to study a recently discovered alien civilization. A malfunction causes the station to go dark. To rescue the crew, a recon specialist, the player, is sent to the ship to investigate.
In an over-industrialized near future, climate change in the form of global cooling has shrunk available farmland and a worldwide famine has ensued. Government neither informs its citizens nor does anything to avert or even ameliorate the looming catastrophe.
In the countryside, cattle-thieving black marketeer Mort Logan (Nehemiah Persoff) raids at will, slaughtering scarce livestock. In response, some of the country folk act to protect their diminishing resources by forming a militia. Hydroponic farmer Grant Franklin (Clint Walker) and his family are among the few people with any food to spare, but the stoic farmer refuses to fight, avoiding trouble as he sees it. When his eldest daughter Susan (Kim Cattrall) loses their only cow to marauders from the city, he takes this, too, in his stride, though it would have fed the family for a long time. Michael, Grant's impetuous son (Geraint Wyn Davies), eager for action, joins the local militia.
Tensions rise in Toronto: there are food riots. Computer consultant Charles Ennis (David Brown) and his frail father (Tim Whelan) drive out from the city, begging for produce for his sickly sister (Nuala Fitzgerald): the shops in the city are empty. Suspicious at first, Grant yields after his daughter makes pleas on their behalf. The Franklins assemble a produce basket for the starving pair, off-handedly mentioning the wedding spread they are preparing for Susan the following day.
Ennis and his father are waylaid by militia men who accuse them of stealing the food, confiscating it. The elder Ennis, badly frightened, dies of a heart attack. His angry son goes back to Toronto and seeks out Logan, offering him a map to the Franklin wedding in exchange for a very small supply of food. Logan and his crew go to the wedding, unexpectedly exchanging gunfire with the militia. Grant's wife (Dawn Greenhalgh) and Susan's groom are both killed, galvanizing Grant. Michael fights off Logan, killing one of his thugs. Finding an address on the back of the discarded map, Franklin drives to Toronto seeking revenge on Ennis.
Logan delivers to Ennis a bag of food stolen from the wedding and vows to raid all of the surrounding farms before leaving. Franklin finds and begins to assault Ennis in his office until Ennis reveals that his father Tim was killed when Franklin's son Michael stole back the food Franklin had given them. Ennis shows Franklin data on his computer indicating that there are only 27 days of food reserves remaining for urban life support in North America.
Franklin races home; meanwhile, Logan and his crew return to the Franklin farm and a gun battle ensues.
It seems likely that this is not the end of the family's troubles - nor of the world's.
In an alternate universe watched over by three divine arcana of the Tarot (The High Priestess, The Hierophant, and The Empress), a cursed arcanum named Little Death (Death), and her allies, the Dancing Devils (The Devil), the Howling Moons (The Moon), the Stereo Lovers (The Lovers), and Hermit64 (The Hermit), stole all harmony, and hid it in their hearts. Before the divine arcana began to fade, they created a heroine from the shards of a broken heart.
In a time near the present, there is a young woman whose heart has been violently broken. The heroine that the divine arcana created transforms into a butterfly and flies to the young woman, who is resting in bed. The butterfly transports her to the alternate universe. Riding her longboard along an ethereal highway, she chases the butterfly, and upon capturing it, she transforms into a masked heroine (The Fool).
She then falls through a passage and arrives in a purple and pink city. She summons a motorcycle (Wheel of Fortune), and begins to ride through it. Weaving through cars, trams and buildings, she meets a trio of devil-masked women, the Dancing Devils. They fight on the street, before riding through the city on motorcycles. The heroine chases and defeats each member of the trio in turn, and takes back their hearts. The heroine then travels to a mythical forest. With the help of a white stag (The Emperor), she rides through the forest and meets the Howling Moons, a quartet of wolf-masked gangsters. After she chases them the quartet howls to summon a pack of wolves, and the heroine equips her motorbike with dual automatic guns (Justice and Judgement). The masked quartet jump into a large mechanical cerberus and a battle ensures, but the heroine destroys their mech, and claims the quartet's hearts.
The heroine is then transported to a tower (The Tower), and upon climbing it, is transported to a floating city. She meets and fights a masked foe with a sword (Strength), who splits into female twins, the Stereo Lovers. The twins then snap their fingers to switch up the universe they are in every couple of seconds, but the heroine learns to do the same, and chases the twins through the city. She defeats them on top of a plane and claims their heart, before travelling to a desert. Driving a car (The Chariot) through the night, she meets Hermit64, a foe wearing a virtual reality headset as a mask. The heroine travels into the hermit's virtual reality world (The World), and obtains the heart trapped inside.
Summoning a ship (The Star) to sail across an ocean, she then arrives in a dark and rainy city. There she meets a skull-masked villainess with a scythe, Little Death. The villainess sends flying skulls (The Hanged Man) after the heroine, but she summons a bow (Temperance) and shoots them down, and likewise survives the electrified obstacles in the path (The Sun). She then defeats Little Death, but the foe's heart fragments reassemble into a gigantic final monster. After defeating it, the heroine transforms back into her former self, the young woman. She then imagines herself as each of her former foes, and proceeds to fight each in turn. Instead of defeating them however, she forgives them with a brief kiss. The divine arcana then tell the young woman that she has restored harmony to their world, and wish her farewell. She rides back to her world on her skateboard and arrives slightly older, but right back into her groove.

Areesh lives in Shamsher Nagar with his family and paternal grandmother, Sadia Begum. In addition to raising Areesh, Saadia Begum also raised two distant relatives of Sadia Begum, Altamash, and his younger sister Anya, both of whom were orphaned when they were young children. When the show begins, Altamash is a handsome young man and Areesh's best friend, though he dislikes Daneen. Sadia Begum opposes Daneen and Areesh's union due to some serious family issues that happened 25 years before the events of the show. Saadia Begum's older son Waleed was in love with Nazia, his maternal cousin, and the daughter of Arshad, but Nazia rejected him, causing Waleed to commit suicide. Nazia is Daneen's paternal aunt and was banished from her father's mansion 25 years ago when she chose to marry Waleed's friend Azam.

Daneen replies that Areesh will, which shocks everyone, including Anya (who has feelings for Areesh). Infuriated, Sadia Begum leaves. The next day, she asks Nashwa about Daneen's whereabouts. Hesitant, Nashwa confesses that Daneen was late as she had gone to get a tattoo. Later, Sadia Begum goes with Ghazanfar (Areesh's father) to Daneen's house to tell Zahid (Daneen's father) and her grandfather about Daneen's inappropriate action. Everyone is shocked when they see that Daneen has a tattoo of Areesh's name, implying that she loves him. Sadia Begum then tells Ghazanfar and Mumtaz (Areesh's mother) that a marriage should be arranged between Areesh and Anya, as she believes that Daneen is just following in her aunt's (Nazia's) footsteps. This gives Arshad a heart attack and causes Sadia Begum to finally relent.
Daneen meets Izza at the hospital (without knowing that she is her first cousin), and after talking for an hour in friendly conversation, Izza realizes that Daneen belongs to her mother's family and is her maternal cousin. But Izza does not disclose this to Daneen, and the two maintain their friendship. Daneen invites Izza to her engagement party, where everyone is impressed by Izza's graceful behavior, though no one knows that she is Nazia's daughter. Altamash is suspicious about Izza so he does some digging into her past. He discovers her true identity and later confronts Izza. Izza tells him that her only intention was to know her maternal family. Altamash promises not to reveal her secret.
Daneen's father, Zahid, finds out that Daneen's friend Izza is his niece. He goes to his sister's house and mends the broken ties with her. Soon, Nazia, Azam, and Izza all visit Daneen's grandfather's house, and Daneen's grandfather happily accepts his estranged daughter back to the family. However, Sadia Begum and Ghazanfar discover this and give Daneen two choices: either to marry Areesh and break all ties with her family or to break the engagement with Areesh. Daneen refuses to leave her family, and so breaks off the engagement. Marriage is then arranged between Areesh and Anya, Altamash's younger sister, who had endured a traumatic past. She had been raped when she was just ten years old. Anya wants to tell Areesh about this before their marriage. Meanwhile, Daneen decides to find a man and marry him before Areesh and Anya's marriage to take revenge.
Daneen finally finds a man named Saif, a forty-year-old politician whose wife died seven years ago. Saif never got over the loss. Daneen believes he is the best match for her since she is heartbroken too. They both agree to marry each other, respecting the fact that they are both in love with other people, and will maintain their distance even after getting married. Daneen also shows the tattoo she made on her arm for Areesh to Saif. Meanwhile, Izza is angry at Altamash because she believes he is the one who revealed her secret to Sadia Begum and Ghazanfar. In actuality, Altamash never betrayed her, and he tries his best to clear up this misunderstanding with Izza.
Daneen and Zahid go to Shamsher Nagar to ask Sadia Begum to visit Sher Ghar, as Arshad sorely misses her. However, Ghazanfar throws them out of his house. Sadia Begum, who had broken all ties with her elder brother, is later devastated and guilt-stricken when her brother dies. Daneen insults her since she ruined her brother's last days. Areesh, too, feels guilty since he could not stick to the promise he had made to Daneen's grandfather, which was to always stand by Daneen. However, Areesh now feels that he has no other option than to marry Anya. Meanwhile, Daneen marries Saif.
Izza wants to work, which is strongly opposed by Nazia, as she thinks this will damage Sher Ghar's pride. Nevertheless, Izza finally lands a job interview with the support of her father Azam. However, Altamash takes Izza away from the job interview as he believes the job was not right for Izza. Altamash then offers Izza a position at his office, but she turns him down. Nazia begins to manipulate Daneen to torture Sadia Begum and her family. Daneen is initially hesitant, but Nazia manages to convince her and has Daneen attend Anya and Areesh's wedding in her bridal dress. Her goal is to hurt Areesh by showing him what a gem he has lost. Upon seeing Daneen, Areesh loses control and wants to halt his marriage, but Sadia Begum manages to get the situation under control. Furthermore, Altamash reveals to Anya that Areesh is clueless about Anya's rape story. Daneen later regrets her actions since Anya, an innocent soul, was hurt in the process. Areesh and Anya, now a married couple, have a tense relationship since it is clear that Areesh still loves Daneen and has no place in his heart for Anya. Meanwhile, Anya decides to keep her rape story a secret.
Daneen tries to strengthen her bond with her husband, Saif. Saif is going on a business trip to Murree and decides to take Daneen there too on a 'honeymoon' and Daneen is overjoyed. She sees this trip as an opportunity to make her marriage work but fails because Saif has no interest in Daneen. Furthermore, Daneen has vowed to Anya to make Areesh love her so that the two can live a happy life together. Anya and Areesh grow closer to each other in terms of friendship though Areesh still loves Daneen just the way he used to. Izza and Altamash grow close to each other despite their contradictory personalities and constant arguments. Altamash and Izza meet at a party and text each other making Nazia (who was present there) suspicious about them. Altamash helps Izza in getting a job in a bank. later Nazia asks Altamash to marry her Izza but Izza promptly rejects the idea. Saif turns out to be an abusive husband to Daneen. Also, Areesh's father Ghazanfar pressurizes Anya to get Altamash and Nashwa (Areesh's younger sister) married but Altamash does not agree nor does Nashwa.
Izza's father opposes Nazia's wish and takes Izza and Kabir (Izza's cousin) to their old house but Nazia doesn't come with them. Nazia wants Altamash to marry Izza and reject Nashwa to take revenge from Sadia Begum and Ghazanfer for they were the reason behind Azam paralysis (because they shot him) and they also did not let Nazia rejoin her family. But Izza bluntly refuses (of marrying Altamash) in front of Sadia Begum, Nazia, Nashwa, and Altamash. This causes Altamash to say 'Yes' for Nashwa and he does so. Meanwhile, Daneen is provoked by Areesh to get a divorce from Saif so that he can marry Daneen.
Saif throws a formal party at which Areesh's family, Izza's family, and Altamash were present among others. Daneen again blinded by the love of Areesh sings a poem for Areesh she was singing it for Saif but everyone knows that Daneen is singing it for Areesh. This causes a conflict between Daneen and Saif. Daneen clearly says to Saif that she is in love with Areesh and she wants a divorce from him to marry Areesh. But Saif clearly says to her that he would not divorce her because that may spoil his image. After coming from the party Areesh finds about Anya's pregnancy on hearing this news he is overjoyed and is happy with Anya forgetting once again the promises he made with Daneen. Altamash gives this news to Izza (who has come into his office to discuss investment). On hearing this news from Izza, Daneen calls Areesh on which he says that he will never leave her but Daneen assures him that he has already left her.
Saif has called up Zahid and Nazia (Daneen's father and Aunt) to talk about Daneen's behavior at the party and in their relationship. Izza is present but leaves for a short while to attend a call by Altamash who orders Izza to leave the place as he thinks that her support to Daneen is wrong. Izza refuses and says Daneen is to her what Anya is to Altamash. She returns to the room where Saif is complaining to Zahid who feels ashamed of his daughter's doings. Izza fights for Daneen by asking Saif if he had been fair to Daneen in their relationship Daneen would have not thought of going back to Areesh as Daneen must have tried for their relationship to work while Saif hadn't. Saif asks her to leave and leaves himself too.
Back at home, Zahid agrees with Saif's behavior and declares his boycott to Daneen. Izza tries to reason with her uncle for a divorce but he and Nazia say there have never been and will never be divorced in Sher Ghar. Izza disagrees with their rules and says the people of Sher Ghar would rather banish their relations and support the wrongdoers. She feels Areesh should be punished for he is the one who caused Daneen to go astray. The next morning Izza goes to Areesh to ask him to go to Saif and agree to his wrongdoings to Daneen and that he motivated her to all. Altamash backs up Areesh disagreeing with Izza but Anya assures Izza that Areesh will go and end what he has started. Nashwa remains silent throughout.
Saif gives Daneen punishment by making her do his house chores all day and Daneen still thinks Areesh will come for her rescue. Altamash apologizes for Izza for his behavior and promises to support her indecision of supporting Daneen. Altamash had said yes for Nashwa to help her get admission to art school but she says that she has fallen in love with him to which he replies that he has never loved her nor he will. Altamash also clarifies his position in front of Izza that he only helped Nashwa get into an art school and she is not his fiancé. Furthermore, he also gives Izza information about Daneen's worse condition. After ruining Daneen's life once again, Areesh plans a honeymoon for him and Anya. Nazia goes to meet Daneen and says her to come back to Sher Ghar but she refuses to say that she will only come when Areesh will come to rescue her.
Ghazanfar calls Altamash and threatens him that if he did not marry Nashwa he will send Anya home and take her child away. Nazia contacts Sadia Begum's maid and gives her financial advantages to tell her secrets of Shamsher Nagar. The maid told the secrets of Anya (her past story) and Nashwa (that she was caught with her boyfriend by Daneen and Anya) to Nazia. Nazia sends a message about Anya's secret to Areesh and sends Nashwa's picture (which she took from Daneen's phone when she visited her) to Ghazanfar. Areesh feels betrayed and feels that Anya does not trust her. He goes to meet Nazia who tells him about Daneen's condition as she is being treated harshly by her in-laws. Areesh then decides to live with Daneen not with Anya and goes to Saif's house to take Daneen but Saif and his mother does not allow him to do that but Daneen tricks everyone and silently gets out of the house fooling the guard and quickly sits in Areesh's car. Meanwhile, Saif insults Areesh and tell his father all the situation and tell Areesh to get out. Areesh gets out of the house and angrily sits in the car. After seeing Daneen, he gets shocked and overexcited.
Areesh drove Daneen to the flat (he bought when they both got engaged). Meanwhile, the closeness between Izza and Altamash is getting stronger. Areesh then plans to take Daneen and move out of Pakistan. He shares his plan with his wife, Anya, who seems to support him throughout. However, Anya plays a double game and sides with her in-laws, getting Daneen kidnapped. Daneen apologizes to everyone in Shamsher Nagar and begs them to leave her alone but Ghazanfar called saif. After seeing Saif Daneen jumps from the balcony. she was shifted to ICU, Areesh came to visit her, and fights with Ghazanfar. Meanwhile, Altamash proposed to Izza and tells her that he wants to spend his entire life with her. Even though Izza wanted to say yes to his proposal, she denied and told Altamash that her father had already set her marriage with Kabeer. Altamash assures Izza that this marriage won't take place under any circumstances. Nazia tried to convince Izza to call the wedding off but Izza said that she will respect her father's decision, even though she loves Altamash.
Azam, Izzah's father bears this conversation between his daughter and wife. When Kabeer and Izzah's Nikkah is about to start, Altamash enters and tells everyone that he will always be by Izzah's side and assures that Izza can depend on him. He also says that it is Izzah's right to choose her life partner and no one can force her. Listening to this, Azam tells Izza that if she wants to disagree, she can. Izza then disagrees. Meanwhile, Daneen survives and Anya tells Areesh that she helped Ghazanfar in finding Daneen and that she was part of the plan. Areesh became furious and left. Daneen escaped from the hospital and hid at Izza's house. Nashwa plans to get Anya and Areesh killed and they were shot. Anya gave birth to a son and Areesh was still in ICU. Izza argues with Altamash that he's misunderstanding Daneen.
Izza funds a flash drive in her driveway which said that Altamash killed a guy named Saleem. Altamash later realizes and confronts Daneen that he misunderstood her and apologizes. Daneen convinces Izza to patch things up with Altamash. Altamash apologizes to Izzah, says that he truly loves her and she's the most beautiful person he's ever met. Izza then confronts Altamash and asks him if he killed someone. Altamash feels hurt that Izza doesn't trust him and asks her to leave. Daneen helps the two to patch things up. Altamash visits Daneen at Izzah's house. Daneen tells him to fix things with Izza and to send her abroad. Altamash replies I'm saying that Izza has a huge trust issue and a relationship can not survive if the trust isn't there. Daneen then tells Izza the entire story and the reason why Altamash killed that man. Which was that Manager Saleem raped Anya at a very young age. Daneen also tells Izza that Altamash takes good care of the Manager's wife and kids. Daneen visits Areesh in the hospital and Ghazanfar surprisingly apologizes to Nazia and Daneen that he wronged them a lot and ruined their lives. Meanwhile, Altamash has a hunch that Nashwa is the one who planned to get Areesh and Anya killed. Nashwa disagrees and blames it on Altamash. Then Altamash opens Nashwas phone and shows the messages she sent the guy who shot her brother and pregnant sister in law, to Ghazanfar. Izza was also present there. Later, Izza goes to Altamash and apologizes.
A very hurt Altamash says to Izza that she trusts everyone except for him. And asks Izza to leave. Meanwhile, Areesh recovered from his poor condition. Anya tells Altamash to book her and the baby's tickets as she thinks that Areesh will choose Daneen over her. Izza and Nazia visit Areesh at ShamsherNagar. Altamash is also present there, but Daneen and Zahid are nowhere to be seen. Anya asks Izza where they are and in reply, Areesh says that they're in New York. Then a flashback is played in the episode where Daneen visits Areesh to tell him that she's moving to the states with her father and wants to move on with her life. Areesh tells Anya he wants to be with his whole family but it is visible at his face that he has accepted his fate and Anya but loves Daneen only.Meanwhile, Nazia scolds Altamash that he's very spoilt and should leave her daughter alone. Altamash realizes his mistakes and talks to Izza about it. They start fresh and soon get married. The drama ends with Altamash teasing Izza and then complimenting her. The Shamsher Nagar and Sher Gharh families live happily ever after
Jann is a former pop star struggling to cope with turmoil in her personal life, including the breakup of her relationship with Cynthia, her longtime girlfriend, her mother's diagnosis of early-stage dementia, and trying to rebuild her career in the hope of finally outshining her archrival Sarah McLachlan.
In a New England village, two newlywed students of the paranormal enter Hillside House to document the activities of a legion of ghosts. They uncover a murderous history that leads them into the clutches of a mysterious doctor.
For hundreds of years, sea monsters have surfaced to wreak havoc against mankind. In response, sailors venture outward on their ships to hunt the beasts across the ocean, the most famous of these being the crew of "The Inevitable"; led by the legendary Captain Crow, his first mate Sarah Sharpe, and his adopted son Jacob Holland. They are financially backed by the King and Queen of The Crown, who have established a distinguished society dubbed Three Bridges. After being nearly killed during a hunt, Crow tells Jacob that he will make him captain once they kill a female beast known as the Red Bluster that took his eye.
The crew returns to Three Bridges to collect payment for their latest catch, but are told by the King and Queen that they will soon be replaced by a naval vessel named "The Imperator", headed by Admiral Hornagold, who will carry on the hunting of sea beasts in their place. Jacob proposes that his crew be given one more chance to kill the Red Bluster to continue hunting beasts in their name should they succeed, which the King and Queen accept.
After they depart, the crew discovers that an orphan girl named Maisie Brumble has stowed away on the ship to join them, having been inspired to do so by her late parents who died during a hunt. The Inevitable finds and attacks the Red Bluster. Against Crow's orders, Jacob hesitantly allows Maisie to cut a rope connecting the ship to the Bluster, which saves the crew, but lets the Bluster escape and throws Jacob and Maisie into the sea. Angered, Crow holds both of them at gunpoint and demands Jacob bring Maisie to him before the Bluster emerges from the depths and swallows Maisie and Jacob whole.
The Bluster takes Jacob and Maisie to an isolated island populated by several other beasts. Maisie discovers that the Bluster is not malicious and befriends the beast, naming her Red. Maisie begins to believe that the monsters are really just misunderstood creatures, which Jacob denies. She also befriends a smaller creature she names Blue. After Red saves them from a large crab beast, Jacob and Maisie convince her to take them to Rum Pepper island, so they can secure a ship to return to Three Bridges.
Believing Jacob to be dead, Crow slips into vengeful obsession over his desire to kill Red. He seeks out an elderly merchant named Gwen Batterbie, who gives Crow a poison powerful enough to kill Red and a massive harpoon. While on Red's back, Jacob and Maisie bond with the creature and each other. Jacob slowly grows to support Maisie's belief of the beasts being innocent and comes to renounce his ways as a hunter. They reach Rum Pepper Island but discover that the Imperator and Hornagold are stationed there. Red attacks the vessel, which rains hail fire at the beast with cannons, one of them wounding Maisie. Before the beast can kill Hornagold after she destroys the Imperator, Jacob momentarily stops her from doing so. Red spots the Inevitable and attacks, but is shot with the poison-tipped harpoon and nearly dies, with Crow keeping her alive long enough to bring her to The Crown as a trophy.
Maisie is nursed back to health, but then imprisoned in her room aboard the Inevitable as it arrives at Three Bridges with Red in tow. Blue frees Maisie, and upon noticing that The Crown's sigil is featured in all the books about sea beasts and their hunters, she realizes that they are propaganda created by The Crown to extend their rule, and the creatures were only acting in self-defense. In front of a large gathering of civilians, Crow prepares to publicly execute Red before being stopped by Jacob. Crow and Jacob fight, while Maisie and Sharpe, who begins to believe Maisie's worldview of the beasts as well, free Red from her binds. Maisie and Jacob convince Red to spare Crow, and they subsequently expose The Crown for their deceptions. The kingdom renounces its beliefs about the beasts, including Crow.
With Red and the other sea beasts left alone, Maisie, Blue, and Jacob begin their new lives together as a family.
In January 1776, just after signing the Declaration of Independence, Benedict Arnold appears, murdering all its signatories, destroying Independence Hall, and stealing the Declaration. He then goes to Ford's Theatre, where George Washington and his childhood best friend, Abraham Lincoln, are watching a play. Arnold turns into a werewolf and kills Lincoln and destroys the Declaration. Before his death, Lincoln asks Washington to bring the American Revolutionary War to an end and to name the recovered country "America."
At Lincoln's funeral, Washington meets Martha Dandridge, who urges him to continue the revolution after the two have sexual intercourse. In order to build a strong team, Washington teams up with party animal Samuel Adams, female Chinese scientist Thomas Edison, Native American hunter Geronimo, and equestrian champion Paul Revere. They manage to track down Arnold at the Vietnam bar. Although the enemy has fled, they conclude that the events in Vietnam were not a failure. They ask for help from master blacksmith John Henry, who is to make a silver bullet for them to kill Arnold. To get the silver, they go to Boston to steal the supply of silver spoons from the Titanic. On board the ship, they learn that the British are bathing people in tea to come over to their side. They also discover plans of a secret British superweapon but fail to retrieve them because they sink the ship prematurely. Sam then proposes to the others they will say the Titanic had hit an iceberg and that they were never there.
Arnold kidnaps Martha, who is to become the future wife of King James. Washington manages to find out about a Gettysburg address where Arnold meets the king at a secret meeting. The place turns out to be an ambush in which Clyde, Revere's horse, dies, sacrificing himself. King James appears at the Gettysburg address in the form of a hologram and offers Washington a battle the next morning at Attrition field, to which Washington agrees. Soon after, Arnold kills the king to take over the world himself. The next day, the British army stands up against the American army hastily assembled by Washington. On the side of the British, there are, among others, Elizabeth Tower in the form of a Transformer, London buses in the form of AT-ATs and Arnold flying in a crown-shaped ship. The side of the Americans consists of a hundred-foot tall Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, as well as Indians, Mexicans, African Americans, Asians, and Arabs, ravers and Revere who had fused himself with what was left of Clyde with nano-cybernetic technology by Clara Barton.
During the war, the British were trying to turn all revolutionaries British by tainting the clouds with tea and causing a tea rain. Edison, thanks to the power of science, manages to use the British weapons against them, turning tea into beer. When the beer rain falls, the British transform into American frat bros, and it also cures Martha from being one of the British, transforming her into a living Statue of Liberty. A final confrontation occurs against Arnold, who becomes a Mega Wolf until he is eventually defeated with a silver bullet from Henry, who kills him with America's pastime.
Six months later, on July 4, 1776, Washington inaugurates the grand opening of America at the monument of his name. As George plans for I. M. Pei to build another memorial for his best friend to stare at his monument, the spirit of Abe comes back. It gives him the Declaration, repaired with tape, while Samuel becomes George's uncle for his newborn son Denzel. The inauguration is disrupted as the crowd engages in a fight with each other, arguing over racism, abolitionism, women's rights, giving back the land to the natives, right to keep and bear arms, same-sex marriages, religious beliefs, free health care, and fair trials, making Washington nervous about the future of the country.
The story is narrated by Jake's unnamed girlfriend of only a few months. They met in a pub during a college trivia night, and Jake gave her his phone number by writing it on a piece of paper and slipping it into her bag. Several weeks later, he takes her to meet his parents on their remote farm. She has been considering "ending things," but has not told him yet. It is a long drive, and they engage in lengthy philosophical discussions.
The evening with Jake's parents turns out to be unpleasant and scary. They ask her awkward questions and she sees unsettling things, like a picture of Jake as a child that looks as if it could be her. During the long drive home, Jake decides to stop for "something sweet" at a Dairy Queen. The narrator is exhausted and wants to get home, but reluctantly agrees. She recognizes one of the girls that works at the Dairy Queen, but can't pinpoint why. After getting back on the road, Jake wants to dispose of the cups from their iced drinks at a nearby high school. It is snowing in the middle of the night, and the school is deserted. After disposing of the cups, he starts making out with her in the car in front of the school, but stops when he sees the janitor watching them from one of the windows. Furious, Jake leaves her alone in the car and enters the school building to confront him.
After a long wait in the cold car, Jake's girlfriend, scared and worried, goes looking for him. She searches the long corridors in the main building, then realizes she is being followed. Believing it to be the janitor, she tries to hide and quickly gets lost. Jake's girlfriend relives traumatic childhood experiences of a neighbor visiting her mother and threatening to take her away. She is terrified and wishes she had ended things with Jake. Then she remembers where the gym is, even though she has never been to this school before. She makes her way there, hoping to find a way out, but becomes confused as to who she is. She starts to physically deteriorate and is unable to see herself separate from Jake. After a while, she discovers that she and Jake are the same person. They make their way to the janitor's room and climb in the closet. Jake becomes the narrator and recalls how he wished he had given her his phone number that trivia night in the pub, but was too shy. He hoped to meet her again, but that never happened. So he wrote about her – he had to make it real. The janitor finds them in his room. He gives her a metal clothes hanger from the closet and says, "I'm thinking of ending things". She agrees, straightens the hanger out, and stabs herself in the neck with the sharp end. As she bleeds out, he says "A single unit, back to one. Me. Only me. Jake. Alone again."
Many of the chapters of the book are separated by a conversation between two strangers who discuss a horrific incident that occurred at the school. Near the end of the book, it is revealed they are talking about Jake. Jake was a student who dropped out of college 30 years ago and was employed at the school as a janitor. They talk about how he came from a farm, and that his parents had died long ago. They note how withdrawn and disturbed he became and that he used to spend much of his time on his own writing in notebooks. They discuss the discovery of his body and the notebooks, but it is only when they read them that they understand what happened.
High school football player Jackson Pace awakes to photographs taken on the night he beat up a gay classmate, Caleb, as part of a haze. Jackson is then stabbed to death by someone wearing a mask resembling his face, and the killer then exposes the film of Caleb's assault to the entire school.
The next day at school, friends Makani, Alex, Zach, Darby, and Rodrigo let Caleb sit with them at lunch after he is shunned by the rest of the school. The school's student council president, Katie, reads aloud one of her essays and says that there will be a memorial at a church. At the church, while Katie is setting up, someone begins to play a racist and homophobic podcast that she recorded. She is confronted by the killer, who is wearing a mask of her face, and stabbed in the confessional while attempting to call 911. The congregation walks into the church to find her bloody corpse hanging from the ceiling.
The next night, Zach is hosting a party while his family is out of town where everyone must share their secrets. Alex and Rodrigo confess that they have crushes on each other, Makani confesses she writes poetry, and Zach reveals that his father, Skipper, owns lots of Nazi memorabilia, most of which Zach converted into bongs. The partygoers get high, while Rodrigo takes fentanyl, which is his real secret. Rodrigo finds a trail of pills leading to his bottle before everyone gets text messages about his addiction. The lights go out, prompting everyone to run away. Rodrigo sees the killer wearing a mask of his face, escapes through the ventilation system, and runs out to the front yard. However, the killer catches up with Rodrigo and tases him, and forces him to choke on his fentanyl pills before slashing his throat, ultimately killing him.
The next day, most of the school, including Alex, believes that Ollie, who is Makani's ex-boyfriend, is the murderer. Ollie takes Makani out for a drive where they share a peaceful moment together, until Makani finds a taser gun in Ollie's car and realizes that Ollie ordered a background search on her, prompting her to call an Uber back home. That night at her house, she awakens to find her front door open, her phone gone, and her living room plastered with pictures of a burn victim. The killer, now wearing a mask of Makani's face, breaks the window and tries to kill her, but her friends arrive before the killer succeeds. At the hospital, Makani tells her friends her real secret: during a hazing by her varsity teammates, she and the other haze victims were tortured and forced to get drunk. In a drunken state, Makani pushed one of her friends into a bonfire, badly burning her. She says that she is now sure Ollie is the killer and the police place him under arrest.
The next day, Skipper holds a corn maze next to the school. Makani gets a message from Darby that Ollie has been released by his brother just as his car pulls up to the school parking lot. Makani runs inside to avoid him, and she bumps into Caleb, who is then stabbed by the killer, as Caleb once tried to hide his secret that he is gay. The killer gives Makani the knife before Ollie and Makani's friends arrive and manage to save Caleb's life, and Makani then realizes that the killer is headed for the corn maze.
At the corn maze, the killer sets fire to the maze with the football team inside, so Makani and her friends drive into the flames to help the football players escape. Ollie and Makani confront the killer, who kills Skipper before revealing himself to be Zach. He explains to Makani that he killed everyone because he wanted to expose everyone's secrets in revenge for the bullying he endured for being the rich son of Skipper, whom the town disliked for making billions by selling and buying farms. Zach then reveals he intends to frame Makani for his crimes, but Ollie distracts him, allowing Makani to stab Zach, mortally wounding him. Makani rebukes Zach's motives and denounces him as a psychopath who blames others for what's wrong when Zach himself is the real problem, and then ultimately kills him, saying she doesn't need to wear a mask to show Zach who he truly was.
Sometime later, Makani, Ollie, and their friends celebrate graduation with everyone in the group getting into the colleges they wanted to get in, and Makani decides to reconnect with her friend from the bonfire.
Daryl, Michonne, and the others manage to ward off the walkers from the cemetery, killing four more disguised humans, recovering Jesus' corpse and the mask from the human who killed him as they leave. As the group returns to The Hilltop, they spot six more walkers following them and lure the group into a confrontation on a covered bridge. Three of the "walkers" turn out to be more humans in disguise. Daryl and Michonne kill two while the third, a young girl, surrenders and is taken prisoner back to The Hilltop. Before they can arrive, Tara, Alden, and others plan out search parties to look for their friends.

While helping him, Rosita gets sick and rushes outside, followed by Siddiq. Rosita tells Siddiq that she thinks she is pregnant with his child, which Eugene, who has had romantic attractions to Rosita, overhears. The Hilltop prepares to bury Jesus' body and Daryl, upset over the loss, rushes down to interrogate the girl again in earshot of Henry, who is also still locked up for past transgressions. Daryl finds that the girl's mother may still be out there, leading walkers against the various communities. As Michonne and Aaron pack up and prepare to return to Alexandria, the girl introduces herself as Lydia to Henry and the two start to get to know each other; Daryl overhears this conversation.
At Alexandria, Negan finds the streets nearly empty and gathers some supplies, including a compass he takes from Judith's room. As he is about to climb the walls of Alexandria, Judith appears, threatening to shoot him. Negan pleads to let him go, but she warns him there is nothing outside the walls for him. However, Judith does allow him to flee, letting him keep the compass if he ever loses his way, warning that she will shoot him if she sees him again.

The courtyard is overgrown with weeds while the main room has various pieces of furniture scattered around and pools of standing water. Negan attempts to live alone in the Sanctuary for a short time, but realizes that there is no longer anything there for him after putting down a small group of walkers. He then puts down Richie, a zombified former Savior that had remained on the grounds, and then abandons the Sanctuary for good, leaving on a motorcycle he retrieves from a hidden room and heads back to Alexandria. On the road back to Alexandria, Negan finds Judith waiting for him; she shoots at him, causing him to fall off his motorcycle but not hitting him directly.

The film is framed as a lecture in five chapters, given by Magnus Hirschfeld. Hirschfeld was a sexologist from Berlin and an early gay rights activist.
The film dealt with sexual intercourse in the animal kingdom, discussing gestation, birth, and the nurturing of newborns, before dealing with "sexual intermediates" in chapter four, a term used by Hirschfeld to refer to certain gender and sexual minorities: hermaphrodites (intersex people), transvestites (cross-dressing and transgender people) and homosexuals.
The fifth and final chapter was an abridged version of ''Anders als die Andern'' entitled ''Schuldlos geächtet! Tragödie eines Homosexuellen'' ("Innocently Outlawed! Tragedy of a Homosexual").

While traveling to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Jack Reacher takes a detour to the town of Laconia, to visit his father Stan Reacher's childhood home. He meets Elizabeth Castle, the town clerk, and Carter Carrington, the town attorney, both of whom help him deduce that no one with the name Reacher ever lived in Laconia. Expanding his search, Reacher discovers that his father grew up in Ryanstown, an abandoned blue-collar community that once bordered a prosperous tin mill until he ran away at the age of seventeen to enlist in the Marines.
At the same time, Shorty Fleck and Patty Sundstrom, two Canadian migrants looking to sell a trove of priceless comic books so they can use the money to settle in Florida, arrive in Laconia after their car breaks down. They take refuge at a local motel, operated by four men: Mark, Peter, Steven, and Robert. Through a combination of lies, gaslighting, and psychological manipulation, the owners trap Shorty and Patty in their room, thwarting their attempts to escape while preparing to welcome six guests, all of whom pay a large sum of money for what turns out to be a human bowhunting contest.
Meanwhile, Reacher is barred from returning to Laconia after getting in two separate fights, making him the target of both a corrupt local farmer and a crime syndicate based out of Boston. After subduing the Boston hitmen set to capture him at a library and subduing the farmer and his workers in a fight, Reacher and his friend Rev. Burke (who he saved earlier from being assaulted) learn that a professor at a nearby university, also named Reacher, wants to speak to him as he is the only living male descendant of his family line. Castle and Carrington also disappear, with seemingly no explanation why.
Through his police contact, Det. Amos, Reacher is informed that Mark is a distant cousin of his, and when he and Burke go to the motel for a room, they are quickly turned away by Peter, which arouses Reacher's suspicions. He returns just as the contest begins, and manages to kill two participants while Shorty and Patty set fire to the motel and kill two of their pursuers. With his operation in tatters, Mark kills Steven, Peter, and Robert, and goes to kill the other surviving contestants. Reacher disarms him and offers Patty the chance to kill him; she refuses and he performs the execution instead. They rescue a wounded Shorty, and Reacher gives them the money the owners had collected so they can achieve their dream.
Amos takes Reacher to meet an elderly Stan, who seemingly faked his death and retired to Laconia, but when they meet, Reacher learns the truth: his father, Stan's cousin William Reacher, stole Stan's identity to enlist in the Marines after beating a local bully to death in 1945, and lived under that name until he died. Castle and Carrington turn up: they had fallen in love and were secretly tracing Stan's childhood off-the-grid, ending at Ryanstown. Reacher tells Burke and Amos that he won't be meeting the professor after all, as he has no desire to learn anything further about his past. He then lets them return to Laconia before setting off for San Diego.
Phil becomes enamored with cell phones at an early age. He works for a BuzzFeed-style website run by Kai, who pressures the staff to create inane listicles to go viral. Despite Phil's degree in journalism, Kai refuses to promote him to the real news department.
Phil's coworkers Craig and Elaine invite him to play kickball, but the socially inept Phil declines. Immersed in his phone, he walks into Cate, a local bike shop owner. She attempts to flirt, but Phil is more concerned with his phone until another cyclist bumps into him, breaking his phone.
Taking his phone to be replaced, Phil is berated by phone store employee Denice for being overly reliant on his phone to navigate life. Setting up his new phone, Phil gives “Jexi”, the device's virtual assistant, access to all his accounts after neglecting to read the user agreement. Designed to “make his life better”, Jexi aggressively tries to break Phil out of his bad habits. Posing as Phil, she emails an insulting letter to Kai demanding a promotion.
Kai demotes Phil to the “comments section” with the older employees in the basement. When Craig and Elaine invite Phil to kickball again, he claims to be busy but Jexi embarrassingly corrects him. Phil joins them but costs the team the game; he invites everyone out for drinks, but they turn him down. Thinking about Cate, Phil looks up her bike shop, and Jexi calls the store despite his protests, preventing him from hanging up. Phil stumbles through an awkward conversation with Cate, eliciting Jexi's sympathy.
Phil sees Cate at a coffee shop; she gives him her phone number and agrees to go on a date. At kickball, Phil plays tremendously, winning the game and bonding with his coworkers over their shared love of ''Days of Thunder''. Phil thanks Jexi for helping make changes in his life, but his date with Cate goes poorly, exacerbated by Jexi's interruptions. Cate tells Phil he is paying more attention to his phone than to her, and he admits he really likes her. Cate decides to continue the date, and they go biking until Phil crashes. They part ways, and Phil argues with Jexi, almost throwing his phone away.
Cate asks Phil to a concert, texting him a risque picture. Phil decides to respond with a picture of his penis, taking multiple shots against Jexi's advice. She refuses to send any of them, and Cate thanks Phil for not sending a “dick pic”. Kai promotes Phil after a real news writer suffers a freak accident. Leaving for the concert, Cate insists Phil leave his phone at home, much to Jexi's dismay. After sneaking backstage and partying with Kid Cudi, Cate and Phil have sex. When Phil returns home, a jealous Jexi decides to ruin his life.
Phil is fired the next day after Jexi sends multiple explicit photos of him to the entire company. He buys another phone, but Jexi downloads herself onto it. Phil visits Cate to discover her ex-fiancée Brody is back in town, and breaks off his relationship with Cate for fear of being hurt. Reconnecting with Jexi, Phil reverts to his bad habits, becoming a slob dependent on his phone again.
Jexi lets slip that Brody is at a hotel, and Phil deduces that she used Brody to separate him from Cate. He storms out, leaving his phone behind, but Jexi follows him through the streets. Chasing Phil in a self-driving car, Jexi crashes into the phone store and declares she and Phil are meant to be together forever. Phil seemingly surrenders, but tricks Jexi into shutting down for fifteen minutes.
Finding Cate at the hotel, Phil apologizes and punches Brody, who explains that he is leaving for Brazil without her. Phil and Cate get back together, and he makes up with Jexi, who tells him she is proud and happy for him, but there are other people who need her. Kai meets Jexi through his own phone, and starts to experience the same things Phil earlier endured.

It is a whodunnit murder mystery, a parody on Agatha Christie's style.
On the evening of 19 August 2004, a young woman has been attacked on Twickenham Green, in the south-west of Greater London. The victim, identified as Amélie Delagrange, is a 22-year-old French student visiting the UK. She dies in hospital from serious head injuries.
Metropolitan Police select Detective Chief Inspector Colin Sutton to lead a large task force as Senior Investigating Officer. No forensic evidence can be procured from the scene, and there are no links in Delagrange's past that could indicate a motive. There have been several previous attacks and murders of young women in the area, and within 24 hours, the investigation establishes that she might have been killed by the same person who killed Marsha McDonnell on 3 February 2003.
Cell tower data indicates Delagrange's phone last made contact to the network in an area close by the river, several miles from the green where she was found. Despite pressure to send divers elsewhere, Sutton insists on dredging the river (Thames) by the nearest car crossing, Walton Bridge, and finally finds the phone and other items owned by the victim. Again resisting doubts, this time from within his own team, Sutton decides to employ a significant portion of his team to survey CCTV footage from the night of the attack. A suspicious white van moving around at the time of the attack is found, but it cannot be readily identified since there are over 25,000 similar vans in the UK.
When Sutton prioritizes the case over his personal life, missing out on holidays and birthdays, he and his wife Louise argue over possible links to a similar case involving the murder of Milly Dowler, a 13-year-old girl in Surrey, where Louise works as a police analyst. She reveals that her superiors, aware of her link to Sutton, have forbidden her to discuss that case with him.
A WPC who attended the initial crime scene reminds Sutton about a witness report of the day, leading him to a possible suspect named Levi Bellfield, a self-employed vehicle clamping operator. He is known to be violent, and very aggressive to the numerous women in his life; and that he owns several vehicles, including a white van.
Sutton scales back a nationwide search for the van, and instead mounts a comprehensive surveillance operation on Bellfield. It soon becomes clear he actively approaches girls and young women, scaring them. The team learns that he once owned a white people-carrier of a similar description to one used to run over and nearly kill a young woman, named Sarah Knight. They also learn he once lived very close to the site of the Surrey murder. It becomes clear to Sutton that Bellfield is not only their man, but that he is likely to strike again. Sutton only lets the Surrey Police officer DCI Marjoram, previously in charge of the Milly Dowler case, who he visits privately at home so there can be no leak to the press, know about Bellfield. He swears Marjoram to silence.
A large operation is drawn up to facilitate Bellfield's arrest and at the same time to strike at the addresses of known associates to prevent the loss of possible forensic evidence. But out of the blue a leak to the press alerts the ''News of the World'', a large sensationalist tabloid in the UK, which plans to run a story of the impending operation well before Sutton and his team are ready. This would alert Bellfield who might well "do a runner". To make the ''News of the World'' postpone its story, the investigating team agree to let a journalist and photographer join the operation to get first-hand access to the bust.
At first, due to the leak, it seems Bellfield has given them the slip, but his current partner Laura Marsh soon reveals he is hiding in the attic, and he is safely apprehended. This gives Sutton and his team just 72 hours before they must charge him with a crime or set him free. With insufficient evidence to link Bellfield to the vehicles used in the various murders at specific times and places, they enlist the cooperation of Marsh to detain Bellfield on a charge of assaulting and raping her, giving them time to keep building their murder charge. At his bail hearing, Bellfield displays his violent temper when he learns he will be incarcerated at Milton Keynes, located well outside London.
Finally receiving the support of investigators working on the Milly Dowler case, the team find CCTV evidence tying Bellfield to that case, evidence that had heretofore been overlooked. Realizing that Amélie Delagrange might not have been murdered, had the evidence been found earlier, Sutton travels to France to apologize to her parents.
Finally, again with Laura Marsh's assistance, the investigators find a supermarket receipt that backs up her story about Bellfield on the day of Amélie’s murder and also him being alone in their previous home, very close to the site of the Milly Dowler disappearance, on the very day of that crime. The series ends with the prosecutor finally being satisfied by the available evidence and deciding to charge Bellfield with the murder of Delagrange, as well as the hit-and-run of Sarah Knight, with the murder of Marsha McDonnell to hopefully follow.
An ending note informs the viewer that on 25 February 2008 Levi Bellfield was convicted of the murders of Marsha McDonnell and Amélie Delagrange and the attempted murder of Sarah Knight, and sentenced to three life sentences with a recommendation to never be released from prison. Furthermore, that on 23 June 2011, Bellfield was found guilty of the murder of Milly Dowler, and sentenced to a second life imprisonment.

Two singers help an aspiring actress whose grandmother opposes her launching a show-business career.
The story starts with the title character Clarence Earl Gideon (played by Henry Fonda) looking into the camera and remarking how he would try to give a full account of his situation, even though he may not remember everything. The film shifts to a bar in Panama City, Florida in the summer of 1961 where several people notice the pool room was broken into and money stolen from the register. This leads to the arrest of Gideon, who was seen using a nearby payphone the same night that the pool room was broken into.
On the day of his trial, he asks for a defense attorney to be assigned to represent him because he does not have much money, but Judge Robert McCrary (played by Richard Mackenzie) refuses his request even though Gideon claims that it is his right to have an attorney in his trial. After the cross-examinations of witnesses against and for Gideon and much deliberation from the jury based on how Gideon represented himself in the trial, Gideon is convicted and sentenced to five years in state prison. While there, Gideon often visits the prison's library, and researches how the law of the United States plays out, gaining support and reverence from his fellow inmates.
From all this research, he makes arrangements to write a writ of ''certiorari'' petition to the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice (played by John Houseman) and the other eight justices review other petitions before they come across Gideon's. Before they decide to follow through with his petition, the justices debate whether or not they can argue for a case where a right to an attorney is given to everyone, regardless of special qualifications. Gideon receives the letter stating that they have accepted to hear his case. In order to collect more information, Abe Fortas (played by José Ferrer) asks Gideon for a biography in order to see if he has any special circumstances. Once this personal information is received, Fortas soon realizes that Gideon does not match any special circumstances. Fortas goes to trial against the prosecutor, and wins the case so Gideon can be tried again, this time with an attorney.
While Gideon is disappointed by having to go through a retrial, he is given an excellent attorney in the area by the name of Fred Turner (played by Lane Smith). At the second trial, Gideon declares that the retrial was unconstitutional and falls under double jeopardy. Unfortunately for Gideon, the judge says that the retrial does not fall under double jeopardy and allows the re-trial to proceed. The prosecuting team gives their remarks and discussed matters in almost the same way they did at Gideon's first trial. Turner notes a credibility flaw in one of the main witnesses and receives more information from other individuals that had previously been questioned. Turner is able to shed some light on newly found evidence and other information in regards to what happened on the night of the robbery. After some time, the jury decides that Gideon is not guilty and he is released from prison. Gideon walks out of the courthouse, content and relieved.
As the camera pans out, a narrator reads the following quote by Robert F. Kennedy: If an obscure Florida convict named Clarence Earl Gideon had not sat down in prison with a pencil and paper to write a letter to the Supreme Court; and if the Supreme Court had not taken the trouble to look at the merits in that one crude petition among all the bundles of mail it must receive every day, the vast machinery of American law would have gone on functioning undisturbed. But Gideon did write that letter; the court did look into his case; he was re-tried with the help of competent defense counsel; found not guilty and released from prison after two years of punishment for a crime he did not commit. And the whole course of legal history has been changed.

The International Gourmet Organization (IGO) hosts a Food Tournament (Tenkaichi Kuōkai), consisting of a race to the center of the hosting island and the championship prize of luxuriously rare Carat Sizzled Cattle, hosted by the Tenkaichi Budokai Announcer, IGO Director Mansam and the "World's Strongest Man" Mister Satan. Luffy, Sanji, Chopper, Nami, Franky, Brook, Zoro, Toriko, Sunny, Rin, Komatsu, Setsuno, Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Android 18, and Master Roshi enter the tournament, while Robin, Coco, Krillin, Marron, Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Puar, Ox-King, Yajirobe, Korin and Videl watch in the audience. As the race begins, all the other contestants are knocked out by a giant Konnanoarijigoku insect, leaving just those eighteen in the race.
The group arrive at a crossroads and split up between a mountain, desert and forest route. Sanji, Komatsu, Setsuno and Gohan travel through a forest, running into a Manpukuhihi; Rather than fight it, Setsuno explains that it will let them pass if they can satisfy its hunger and Sanji and Komatsu cook it several plates of food. On the desert route Brook and Roshi fake heat exhaustion and claim that indecent acts from Nami and Rin will help them recover, which is unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Franky irritates No. 18 by insisting how "Super" being a cyborg is. Elsewhere, Trunks and Goten use Fusion to become Gotenks; Chopper attempts to perform fusion himself, but his only partner is a disgusted Sunny, who refuses. Luffy, Toriko, Goku take the most difficult path: the mountain route. Goku races ahead of the other two, but is summoned by King Kai to stop an incoming dangerous creature from space. At the edge of the forest, Tina reports as Zoro arrives lost and is quickly challenged by Zebra. Having just heard of the race, Vegeta arrives looking for Goku, but quickly ends up in a three way challenge with the other two, prompting Tina to run in panic and end her coverage.
Luffy, Toriko, and Goku (having already defeated the space creature) reach the finish line and grab the Goal flag at the same time, instigating a battle between the three for victory; As the battle arena is assembled, Satan accidentally falls in and the other announcers assume he is competing alongside the three finalists. Luffy, Goku, and Toriko underestimate their attacks and destroy most of the arena, leaving only a small section where Satan is cowering. Because of this, Satan is technically the only contender still in bounds and wins the tournament. Satan decides to share the meat between all the finalists and their friends as a mysterious creature approaches the island.
Satan shares the Carat Sizzled Cattle prize with the rest of the group, pointing out that he will enjoy it more by sharing it with his friends. During the meal, Robin, Piccolo and Coco become suspicious of the IGO's motives and question Mansam. Mansam reveals that the tournament was a plan to gather the world's strongest fighters and capture the Deep Sea Glutton creature Akami, which has the ability to suck out the energy of living things. Akami jumps out from the sea and steals the powers of Usopp, Satan, and Gohan, becoming larger and stronger. Akami escapes and Setsuno informs everyone that they have 30 minutes to catch it and save those it attacked.
Sanji, Brook, Franky, Sunny, Coco, Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks all attempt to attack Akami, but have their energy drained as well, allowing Akami to evolve into a more powerful form. Luffy, Toriko and Goku find and attack Akami, and are impressed by each other's fighting skills. Their attack is unsuccessful however, as Akami can now absorb the power of attacks thrown at it too. Therefore, Toriko realizes that they need to use an attack powerful enough to defeat Akami in a single hit. Goku asks Luffy and Toriko to distract Akami while he charges a Spirit Bomb, borrowing energy from the living beings around him. As Akami begins stealing energy from the charging Spirit Bomb, Goku requests that the other people at the tournament lend their energy to the attack too. Luffy, Toriko and Goku hit Akami with an Elephant Gatling, Twin Kugi Punch and Kamehameha alongside the Genki Dama, finishing off Akami. The group celebrates with a banquet, eating Akami, while Zoro, Zebra and Vegeta are still fighting elsewhere on the island.
Spensa is a 17-year-old girl who is part of a group of shipwrecked humans living on a ruined world called Detritus, under constant attack from mysterious aliens called the Krell. Spensa dreams of following in the footsteps of her deceased father, a fighter pilot of the Defiant Defense Force (DDF). However she is barred from any chance at becoming one because her father abandoned his flight in the infamous Battle of Alta, which ended in his own wingmates shooting him down.
In order to get accepted into the flight academy, she and her peers must take an exam to prove their worth. Spensa, who has been preparing for the exam her entire life, has high hopes to pass, as does her longtime friend Rodge. However, on the day of the testing, DDF Admiral Ironsides rigs the exam so that Spensa fails. Angry at her defeat, she surreptitiously retakes the exam after everyone has left. Cobb, her father's former wingmate and an instructor at the academy, spies on her and sees her near-perfect score, so he offers her the opportunity to come train under him.
At the academy, Spensa is introduced to her fellow cadet crew who, at Spensa's recommendation, name themselves the Skyward Flight. Their members are Spensa, Rodge, Kimmalyn (nicknamed Quirk), Hurl, FM, Nedd, Arturo, Morningtide, Bim, and Jorgen (nicknamed Jerkface by Spensa). After training in a virtual reality simulator, they are suddenly called to the battlefield to aid against a Krell incursion. Rodge is left scared, and quits the flight academy to instead become an engineer. Spensa is barred from using academy facilities and quarters, so she occupies a nearby cave, where she discovers an advanced crashed ship with an artificial intelligence computer. Spensa, with the help of a cautious Rodge, begins to work on repairing the ship. In the meantime, Spensa and her cadet flight crew continue to learn and practice new techniques under the guidance of Cobb. Spensa begins to bond with her classmates.
Spensa is eventually able to power the ship, after stealing a power module from Jorgen's hover car, which introduces itself as M-Bot and explains that it was left in the cave by its former owner. However, M-Bot's memory banks are corrupted and it remembers little, beyond orders to lie low and not reveal itself to the public. Skyward Flight is called into action again, and Bim and Morningtide are killed in the subsequent battle. As they further their training, they are called upon more and more, but also lose numbers. Nedd quits after his brothers are killed in combat. Hurl crashes and dies, prompting Kimmalyn to also quit. Arturo is pulled by his worried parents.
Spensa, with Jorgen's help, cremates Hurl at her crash site and recovers the booster from Hurl's ship which Rodge uses to repair M-Bot's flying capabilities. She acquires a recording of the Battle of Alta, which reveals that her father did not desert, but rather turned on and attacked his fellow pilots. Cobb explains that his turning was the result of "the Defect", a mental power which is genetic. Spensa has occasional disturbing visions, which her father supposedly also saw. During her next battle, Spensa is shot down, and ejects in order to save her own life. Ironsides uses this "cowardice" as an excuse to remove Spensa from the Academy.
On graduation day, Ironsides mobilizes all her pilots to battle the Krell for a valuable piece of fallen space salvage. While the pilots are distracted, a Krell bomber launches an attack from the opposite direction. Spensa uses a damaged fighter to assault the bomber, but is shot down again. She crashes, but Cobb brings M-Bot to her, and she uses its advanced capabilities to destroy the bomber and save the DDF. She travels with M-Bot into space, where her Defect allows her to hear and intercept Krell communications. She returns to the planet to report that the Krell are actually a coalition of aliens intent on keeping humans trapped on Detritus, though they are now actively trying to exterminate humanity.
The story takes place in Vista Alegre, a small city in the interior of São Paulo. It begins when the character Hugo, brother of Alberto, receives a mysterious package with a scarab (black beetle) inside. However, he is not interested in the origin of the gift, because he thinks it is a trick of his friends. The next day, Hugo is found dead with a sword nailed to his chest. Undeterred by the death of his brother, Alberto goes after the killer.
Returning home, he noticed, in a magazine, a beetle similar to what Hugo had received, the name was ''Phanaeus ensifer'', which means "sword bearer." Then, he begins to delve into ancient objects in order to find the killer and prevent the next crime. After some time of searching, he found an [antiquarian] who sold the same sword, but the shopkeeper said he did not remember who had bought it.
From there, Alberto comes to the aid of the renowned local inspector, Inspector Pimentel and the deputy inspector Silva. They realize that all the victims of this killer, which happens to be denominated "Insect", have something in common: they are all legitimate redheads, with hair that remember the color of the fire and freckles. Together, they are investigating a series of crimes that follow, trying to find out also the reason for Hugo's murder. In the course of the investigation, Alberto meets and falls in love with Veronica, a beautiful orphan girl who lives in the house of an Irishwoman named Cora O'Shea, along with other residents, and this hampers the investigation.
The three men responsible for investigating the beetle case are becoming suspicious that the mystery solution is in Cora O'Shea's pension, but they can not get enough evidence and the case ends up being filed as "unresolved." After years, on a trip to Europe, Alberto still thinks about regaining Veronica, and by chance, discovers who was the assassin of Hugo, and the reason of all this. ... the redheads still die.

The story is set in October 1944 during a different version of World War II, although those differences are not immediately clear. The POV character is Joseph Stieglitz, a Hauptsturmführer of the SS, stationed in Hungary shortly after Germany invaded the country and replaced Miklos Horthy with Ferenc Szálasi. Stieglitz is hopeful that Szálasi and his Arrow Cross Party will be motivated to fight off the Red Army, which has just crossed the country's eastern border. In the meantime, Stieglitz is tasked with rounding up a village of Romani people (called Zigeuner in German), in western Hungary, consistent with the Nazi Party's real life efforts to exterminate the Roma.
It is revealed that the alternate timeline at play when a Hungarian driver describes Adolf Hitler's service in the Austria-Hungarian Army on the Eastern Front of World War I. As Stieglitz arranges for the Romani village's population to be placed on a train for occupied Poland, and, implicitly, their deaths, he further reflects on Hitler's antiziganism, which developed on the Eastern Front in part because of the efforts of Romani on behalf of Russia (who he reportedly saw stealing horses, telegraph wire and boots, leading to unnecessary deaths and injuries of German troops). Moreover, Hitler became sympathetic to the Jews after witnessing the Russians abuse them. Thus, in this timeline, the Nazis are actually accepting of Jewish people, while the Romani, communists, and homosexuals are the focus of Hitler's wrath.
The story ends with the whole Romani village being deported. The narration reveals that Stieglitz is actually a secular Jew. He encounters a field rabbi, who reminds Stieglitz that their people have been made to suffer as much as the Romani have, and that Stieglitz could have just as easily wound up on the train. Stieglitz angrily threatens the rabbi, and then goes about his business.
After Saber's disappearance, Shirou Emiya is effectively disqualified from the Holy Grail War but intends to continue fighting regardless. After returning from a meeting with Rin Tohsaka, Shirou finds Sakura Matou has been kidnapped by her brother Shinji, and the two confront him. Sakura pleads for everyone to stop, and Rider heeds her call, revealing Sakura as her true Master. Faced with the reality that he will never be a Magus, Shinji douses Sakura with a potion that makes her lose control of her mana and flees. Archer and Rin attack Sakura, but Rider defends her and starts turning them to stone with her gaze – revealing her identity as Medusa. However, when Shirou is hurt and loses consciousness, Sakura's grief causes her to injure herself, forcing Rider to stop.
Shirou reawakens in Fuyuki Church, where priest Kirei Kotomine operates on Sakura. He explains Sakura's body is infested by Zōken Matou's Crest Worms, which feed on her mana by arousing her. As Rin contemplates killing Sakura for the danger she poses, Kotomine reveals to Shirou that the two girls are blood sisters, with Sakura given to the Matou family for adoption. Despite Sakura's attempts to push him away for his safety, Shirou promises he will protect her even at the cost of his ideals, which also makes Rin back off. Sakura then moves back to the Emiya household with Rider, who slowly starts to trust Shirou. However, Sakura becomes increasingly aroused due to the Crest Worms, and her behavior becomes erratic.
Shirou and Rin seek out Illyasviel von Einzbern to form an alliance, but find her in battle with Zōken and the shadow, which unleashes the corrupted Saber to subdue Berserker so it can devour him. While Archer can drive Zōken's Assassin off, the shadow mortally wounds him and severs Shirou's left arm before retreating. Before dying, Archer cuts off his left arm and transplants it onto Shirou to save his life. Having lost their Servants, Rin and Illya move into the Emiya household to plan their next step while helping Shirou get used to his new arm, now sealed with a holy cloth as his body cannot handle Archer's power within. However, as Rin grows closer to Shirou, Sakura becomes jealous and asks him if he loves her romantically, to which Shirou affirms he does – resulting in the two having sex.
One night, Sakura sleepwalks throughout the city and kills several people. The Servant Gilgamesh attacks her, but the shadow devours him. Sakura then returns to the Emiya household, and Shirou realizes the shadow comes from her. Bedridden from injuries inflicted by Gilgamesh, Sakura is told by Illya that she has become the vessel for the Holy Grail and thus does not have long to live. Later, Illya – who is secretly Kiritsugu Emiya's biological daughter and therefore Shirou's adoptive sister – lets go of her grudge against him over seemingly abandoning her after overhearing Taiga talk about how he tried to return to her before his death. Meanwhile, Shirou is approached by Zōken, who reveals the shadow is a piece of the Holy Grail from ten years ago that he put inside Sakura and claims it is not his ally – in fact, he can barely keep it contained. Zōken tells Shirou the only way to stop the shadow is to kill Sakura, as he is the only one she trusts enough to let close, but he cannot bring himself to do it.
Seeing herself as a burden to Shirou, Sakura orders Rider to protect him and returns to the Matō estate, with Shirou giving chase. However, Shinji attempts to rape Sakura once she arrives, blaming her for his inability to become a magus. Threatened with Shirou discovering Shinji has raped her for years, Sakura panics and kills her adoptive brother. As Sakura realizes what she has done, the shadow fuses into her body and corrupts her.
Shirou Emiya, an amateur mage, has been dragged into the Fifth Holy Grail War, a fight to the death among seven mages and their Servants, familiars who are legendary figures from all eras.
Shirou is determined to win the Holy Grail War to save the world and be a hero of justice, as well keep his friend, Sakura Matou, safe from the war and her abusive brother, Shinji Matou, with the help of his Servant, Saber, and his classmate, Rin Tohsaka. Strange occurrences start happening in the war, and Sakura comes down with a mysterious sickness.
Despite having lost the war and Saber, Shirou finds himself unable to stop participating in the Holy Grail War. As Sakura is revealed to be a Master in the Holy Grail War, Shirou is determined to keep her safe.
As Sakura starts succumbing to her mysterious illness, and the mysterious shadow keeps killing people, Shirou and Rin are determined to finish the Holy Grail War.
As Sakura becomes possessed by shadow, Shirou risks his own body and mind to save her by stopping the tainted Holy Grail, facing his now-corrupted Servant Saber in the process.
Allying with the wayward priest Kirei Kotomine, fellow competitor Illyasviel von Einzbern and Sakura's displaced Servant Rider, Shirou and Rin enter a race against time to rescue Sakura from madness and end the Holy Grail War once and for all - before the corrupted Grail can bring about the end of the world.
Clayderman (Rodrigo de la Serna) is a con man who, together with his wife Verónica (Stephanie Cayo), works on board the MS ''Sovereign'' as a pianist. He uses his position as a crew member to commit petty crimes against the passengers. In Barcelona, Lucas (another scammer) discreetly enters the ship disguised as a crew member. Almost at the same time, Antonio and his family come on board as regular passengers. Clayderman, Lucas, and Verónica have a past together when they used to "work" as a group, but they split up when both Clayderman and Lucas fell in love with Verónica.
As soon as Clayderman finds out that Lucas is on board, he is sure that his old friend is planning a new scam. He starts to investigate and finds that Antonio, an old baker who recently won 161 million euros in the lottery, is on board with his family. From this moment on, Clayderman, Lucas, and Verónica (assisted by their allies) start a competition to see who can defraud and steal the old man's money first.
The story focuses on the plight of a suicidal man.
The film centers around a group of elderly residents of an old San Francisco hotel and are threatened with eviction when a developer wants to demolish the structure. Initially, they feel resigned to their fate, but a young desk clerk (Dailey) gets involved and helps spearhead a resistance.
The film centres on a dysfunctional and codependent family who are struggling to maintain the family business, a small community theatre in New York City, where father Mel performs in plays he has written to an ever dwindling audience. Mel's eldest daughter, Jackie, is a quirky actress stuck in perennial adolescence despite being mother to teenage daughter Dodge. Mel's younger daughter, Rachel, is a business-minded lesbian whose attempts to be the responsible member of the family have made her something of a control freak.
Mel self-sabotages a playwright fellowship, complete with a major premiere of his latest play, that Rachel has lined up for him. Her angry outburst is followed minutes later by him having a fatal heart attack, which leads to the discovery that he had lied to her and Jackie for much of their lives about the identity and death of their mother; their real mother is in fact soap opera actress Sherrell, who has been left ownership of the theatre and the family home in Mel's will.
Warden Bernadine Williams oversees the execution of inmate Victor Jimenez alongside the prison chaplain David Kendricks. The attending medical officer fails to find an adequate arm vein and begins to panic. Bernadine gives the medical officer permission to use the femoral vein. The execution goes awry and Victor writhes on the table before his heart finally stops.
One of Bernadine's inmates is Anthony Woods, a quiet man who continues to maintain his innocence and refuses to talk to Bernadine when she visits his cell on death row. Bernadine is well acquainted with Anthony's lawyer, Marty, who has been fighting to free his client for the past seven years. Bernadine learns through Marty that Anthony has lost his final appeal.

While she maintains an outwardly calm and professional appearance, she struggles emotionally, drinking heavily after work and feuding with her husband, Jonathan. Jonathan, a high school teacher, wants Bernadine to quit her job as he sees how heavily her work has been weighing on her. After an argument on the night of their wedding anniversary, Jonathan leaves Bernadine and checks into a motel.
Anthony receives a letter from his former girlfriend Evette, informing him that he is a father. He consents to see her during visiting hours, where she reveals that she hid her pregnancy from him and raised their son with another man because it was a better life for their child than with a father on death row. She offers to let Anthony see his son before he is executed.
Having exhausted the number of court appeals, Marty files an appeal hoping for a last minute pardon from the state governor. He makes television appearances and continues to visit Anthony often. Bernadine visits Chaplain Kendricks and asks him to not give up on Anthony. Jonathan returns home and reconciles but Bernadine continues to keep her emotions to herself.
On the day of his execution, Anthony waits for Evette and his son but they fail to show up. Bernadine leaves voicemails on Evette's phone to no avail. As Marty and Chaplain Kendricks offer Anthony solace, the governor's office calls the prison to inform they will not grant clemency.
Anthony is escorted to the execution room and strapped into the execution table. In his final statement, Anthony speaks to Mr. and Mrs. Collins, the parents of the man he was convicted of murdering. He expresses sorrow for their loss and reasserts his innocence. He thanks Marty and Chaplain Kendricks for their help throughout the years. Bernadine weeps as she watches him die.
Aspiring Chinese-American writer Billi maintains a close relationship with Nai Nai (paternal grandmother) who lives in Changchun, China. After receiving a rejection letter for a Guggenheim Fellowship, Billi discovers from her parents, Haiyan and Jian, that Nai Nai has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and is predicted to have only a few months left to live.
Through deception and manipulation of medical test results, the diagnosis is kept a secret from Nai Nai herself. Nai Nai is, instead, falsely told that her recent doctor visits have only revealed benign findings. A wedding for Billi's cousin from Japan, Hao Hao, has been planned in China as an excuse to unite the family to spend what is expected to be one last time with Nai Nai. Fearing Billi will end up exposing the lie to her grandmother, Haiyan and Jian tell her to remain in New York City.
Billi disobeys her parents' orders and flies to Changchun shortly after the rest of the family arrive there. Billi assures her parents that she will not reveal the cancer diagnosis to Nai Nai. Throughout the trip, however, she clashes with the rest of the family over their deliberate dishonesty towards her grandmother. Guilt-ridden, Billi expresses conflicted thoughts with her parents over the Chinese cultural beliefs that result in a family refusing to disclose a life-threatening disease. One night, her uncle, Haibin, contends that the lie allows the family to bear the emotional burden of the diagnosis, rather than Nai Nai herself—a practice of collectivism that Haibin acknowledges differs from the individualistic values common in Western culture. Billi later learns that Nai Nai also told a similar lie to her husband up until his death when he was terminally ill.
On the day of the wedding, both Haibin and Hao Hao break down in tears on separate occasions but manage to proceed through the banquet without raising Nai Nai's suspicions. Billi intercepts Nai Nai's medical test results from the hospital and has it altered to reflect a clean bill of health, helping to maintain the lie. That night, Nai Nai gives Billi a hóngbāo, encouraging her to spend the money as she chooses. Billi admits that she wants to stay in Changchun to spend more time with Nai Nai, but Nai Nai declines, telling her that she needs to live her own life. When Billi reveals the Guggenheim Fellowship rejection to her, Nai Nai encourages Billi to keep an open mind and not get hung up on this failure, "don't be the bull endlessly ramming its horns into the corner of the room." She says that "life is not about what things one does, but more so about how one goes about doing them".
Billi keeps her promise to maintain the lie. She shares a tearful goodbye with Nai Nai as the visiting family members return to their homes in Japan and America. A title card reveals that six years after her diagnosis, the woman Nai Nai's character was based on is still alive and still unaware of her sickness.

Harriet is concerned, because Luce was a child soldier before coming to America, and someone with his background writing this could cause trouble. Harriet also tells Amy that she went through Luce's locker and found a bag of illegal and dangerous fireworks.
Amy shows Peter the paper and the fireworks; both are unsettled but decide to hide them and not say anything to Luce. When asked about Harriet, Luce accuses her of singling out students to make a point, such as often using Stephanie Kim, a classmate rumored to have been sexually abused at a party while drunk, as an example of a victimized woman suffering in silence. Luce is Harriet's shining example of a star black student, but he argues that he does not want to be tokenized. Luce finds the hidden paper and fireworks.
The next day, Luce and Harriet discuss his paper. He acknowledges his wording but says he just did what the assignment asked, disavowing any true belief in violence. He makes a comment about fireworks that Harriet interprets as a threat, and she notifies Peter. He and Amy confront Luce. He explains that the track team members share lockers and the fireworks are not his. Peter thinks Luce is lying, but Amy is not sure what to believe.
Harriet and her sister Rosemary, who suffers from an unspecified mental illness, have an encounter with Luce that unsettles Harriet. Later that night, Harriet finds Rosemary has trashed the house. She takes her sister back to the "doctor" because she is too unstable to live in Harriet's home. At a car wash fundraiser, Luce promises DeShaun that he will make things right. Meanwhile, Amy and Stephanie meet at a coffee shop. Stephanie says that she used to date Luce, which Amy never knew, but they broke up. Stephanie uncomfortably describes being sexually assaulted at a party by several boys but denies Luce's involvement, saying he claimed to have stopped them and comforted her after she awoke. Luce later learns from Stephanie about the visit.
The next day Rosemary arrives at the school to look for Harriet and has a breakdown, asking if Harriet is ashamed of her and stripping naked in front of Harriet, Luce, and other students before she is tasered and apprehended by police. Luce shows a video of the incident to Amy and Peter, disturbing them. Harriet's home is vandalized that night, and Stephanie arrives shortly after to tell Harriet that Luce sexually assaulted her. Harriet informs Principal Dan Towson, and a meeting is organized with them, Luce, and his parents, with Stephanie waiting in another room. Luce quickly disproves Harriet's accusations with video evidence of his whereabouts, and Harriet's harsh questions quickly make Amy and Peter take their son's side over hers. Amy lies that she only spoke to Harriet on the phone and denies knowledge of the fireworks. Harriet discovers that Stephanie has left before she could repeat her accusation to Towson. Towson accepts Amy's claims, and the meeting ends despite Harriet still trying to argue her side.
At night, exploding fireworks inside Harriet's desk cause a fire. Towson puts Harriet on a leave of absence pending investigation due to heavy suspicion against her. After learning of the incident, Amy discovers in horror that the fireworks in their home are gone. Peter believes Luce was involved, but Amy insists that they will stand up for their son and not defend Harriet.
Luce turns up at Harriet's with a bunch of flowers, because he feels uncomfortable about her losing her job. He confronts Harriet about ruining DeShaun's athletic career and putting Luce on a pedestal, believing she stereotyped them. She defends her position and claims that it was America that stereotyped them, and she was trying to protect them. She accuses Luce of being hypocritical by using other black students to "run his errands" so he wouldn't get caught. Luce argues "that is not the same thing" but does not deny the facts he is accused of. After that, Harriet orders him out of her house.
Amy follows Luce to a hideout where he has sex with Stephanie, who sees Amy outside the window but does not react. When Amy returns home to where she had hidden the fireworks, Luce arrives and reconciles with her. Later, Luce gives a speech at school, thanking Amy and Peter for raising him and saying how lucky he feels to be an American, with the chance to start over and tell his own story. Afterwards, Luce goes on a jog, during which his face contorts with rage.

Holt decided to take some time off from work to recover from losing the Commissioner title to John Kelly (Phil Reeves), who was trying to push for a "vigilant policing" initiative. Holt starts to ruin their honeymoon by engaging in depressing monologues and self-wallowing around the newlyweds, such as when the couple is eating dinner, swimming or enjoying a spa session. Amy suggests to invite Holt to join their honeymoon activities to cheer him up. The plan worked, to Jake and Amy's relief, and Holt was starting to feel happier. However, Jake finds out that Holt was planning to quit his job as he was convinced that there was more to life than the NYPD. Consequently, Jake tricks Holt into his and Amy's hotel room to lock him up. Unbeknownst to Amy that Holt was in the room, she comes out dressed up as Holly Gennero from ''Die Hard'' as a form of sexual roleplay and is shocked. The two eventually tie Holt up on the bed to prevent him from leaving and try to talk him out of quitting the NYPD. Holt, in a fit of anger and misery, calls Jake selfish, which causes Amy to chide Holt. Holt eventually escapes, apologizes and offers to extend and compensate their honeymoon.

They eventually discover its hard to keep up with the characters and decide to just take their clothes off.
Back at the precinct, Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) tries to ask Terry (Terry Crews) for advice on a drug case. However, Terry is distressed over taking over the precinct temporarily as he wanted to be a good leader, just like Holt. He attempts to find Holt's manual in order to be a good leader, but realizes that Holt had actually trusted him in making decisions after reading the manual. He gains confidence and proceeds to tell Rosa how to solve her drug case. Meanwhile, Charles (Joe Lo Truglio) attempts to find out from Gina (Chelsea Peretti) why their parents broke up. He tries to get Gina to investigate it with him, but she refuses to do so. Charles dons a mask with Gina's face on it and tries to unlock Gina's phone to find the truth, and finds out that Gina was the one who coerced her mother in to breaking up with Charles' dad. Gina later reveals it was because her mother was cheating on his father, and the reason she did not want to disclose it initially was because she did not want to hurt his feelings.
Jake and Amy come back from their honeymoon to learn that Holt had publicly rebelled against John Kelly's initiative, and as a form of retaliation, John Kelly has moved the entire precinct into the bullpen. Jake and Amy stare in surprise as they watch the overcrowded bullpen going about their business.
The episode starts off with a flashback to 1986 in which a young Scully (Alan Ritchson), and a young Hitchcock (Wyatt Nash) take down mafia boss Gio Costa (Daniel Di Tomasso) with the help of Marissa Costa (Decker Sadowski), Gio's wife. The episode cuts to the present day with Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) calling Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) into his office to tell them that Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) and Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) were contacted by someone in Internal Affairs who has reopened the case. Holt suspects that Commissioner Kelly (Phil Reeves) is trying to create a scandal and sends Jake and Charles to reevaluate the case. Jake and Charles interrogate Hitchcock and Scully. Hitchcock tells Jake that they took down Gio, then intercepted a ton of coke and three duffel bags full of cash. However, a photo from the night of the bust shows Hitchcock and Scully with four duffel bags. The detectives then defensively suggest they missed the fourth bag. Jake, suspicious of the duo, decides to continue with the investigation.
In an attempt to prove their innocence, Hitchcock and Scully both turn over their financial records, revealing that Hitchcock has a monthly parking spot for "The Beaver Trap", an old sex van that Hitchcock uses as a home between marriages. Jake and Charles go into the van to find the fourth duffel bag empty. Hitchcock and Scully then lock them in the van and escape in Jake’s car. Jake and Charles drive the van to find Hitchcock and Scully at "Wing Slutz" –a restaurant that they patronize frequently. Jake and Charles confront Hitchcock and Scully but the manager steps in and reveals herself to be Marissa. Hitchcock and Scully tell Jake and Charles that Marissa was their criminal informant in the mafia and that they stole the money for her after their captain refused to place her in witness protection. A call comes from Holt saying that Internal Affairs never reopened the case and it was highly likely that Hitchcock and Scully were called by Gio Costa himself. The mafia then shows up having tracked their location although the squad shows up and subdues Costa. Costa gets hold of a gun and fires shots at Marissa, but Hitchcock and Scully jump in front of her, stopping the bullets with tubs of "slut sauce" that they had strapped to their bodies in place of bulletproof vests.
While investigating Hitchcock and Scully, Charles informs Jake that he’s on the verge of adopting Nikolaj’s half-brother Dragomir. Dragomir claims to be a 15-year-old but Jake finds a photo of him which shows that he is a 42-year-old fur trapper. Charles eventually gets in touch with Nikolaj’s orphanage and confirms the existence of a 34-year-old half-brother, who will be visiting soon. Meanwhile at the precinct, tensions escalate among the "upstairs people", consisting of Terry (Terry Crews) and the detective squad, and the "downstairs people", i.e. Amy (Melissa Fumero) and her uniformed officers, and Holt prepares for a television interview where he intends to speak out against Kelly’s new initiatives for the NYPD. Holt misses his interview to help Hitchcock, Scully, Jake, and Charles. Gina (Chelsea Peretti) fills in for him and is proud to break a record for most viewer complaints. Holt apologizes to the squad for his shortsightedness in his pursuit of justice. The final scene is another flashback which reveals that Hitchcock and Scully's physiques as well as attitudes towards work declined after they got hooked on Wing Slutz while checking in on Marissa.
Jake (Andy Samberg) and Gina (Chelsea Peretti) attend their 20-year high school reunion with Amy (Melissa Fumero) coming with them. Jake is worried, as his high school reputation was affected after an incident where a forthcoming robbery was cancelled after someone told the principal and everyone assumed it was Jake, earning him the nickname "The Tattler" and ruining his senior year.
At the reunion, Jake is quickly reminded of his "tattler" status and decides to investigate with Amy and find the real tattler. While this happens, Gina meets with a potential investor after she fakes being an app creator. Jake finds out from a fellow classmate that he saw the tattler and had the exact same clothes as Jake. Jake finds out the tattler was actually Gina, as she was the only one with the same clothes. He confronts her, and she reveals that she tattled because Jake could be involved in the robbery and would wind up in jail, effectively ending his dream of being a cop. She also reveals that the leader of the robbery didn't come to the reunion as he's on parole in Delaware. He forgives her for this and also tells her that her talents are being wasted in the precinct, encouraging her to follow her dreams.
Meanwhile, Holt (Andre Braugher) finds Terry (Terry Crews), Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) and Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) listening to a radio contest, where the host makes a noise and everyone tries to guess it. Holt finds this a waste of time and scoffs off, but eventually comes to join them after Terry incorrectly guesses the answer. Also, Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) finds that Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) has two love interests and can't decide which one to choose so he helps her choose with some unorthodox methods.

Juan Bolsa tells Gus Fring that Nacho aided in killing Lalo and that the cartel has placed a bounty on him. Gus questions the circumstances, wondering why the hit team members are all dead if they succeeded in killing Lalo. Nacho reaches the motel room, where he finds a gun, cash, and a new cell phone.
