Following his homeworld Krypton's destruction, Kal-El was sent by his parents to Earth, where he was adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who named him "Clark", and raised in Smallville, Kansas. Growing up, Clark became isolated from humanity due to his superhuman abilities which he had developed over time due to Earth's yellow sun. In the present-day, Clark works as an intern for the ''Daily Planet'' in Metropolis. One day, he meets S.T.A.R. Labs janitor Rudy Jones, who informs Clark about extraterrestrial experiments going on inside the lab, while attending the launch of a LexCorp orbital rocket telescope hosted by Lex Luthor. After reporter Lois Lane exposes Luthor of gross negligence leading to his arrest, the rocket misdirects to Metropolis. As the Flying Man, Clark throws it back into space. Unbeknownst to Clark, he is being watched by a mysterious figure dressed in a trench coat.

When S.T.A.R. Labs detect a UFO coming towards Earth, Clark heads to investigate, only to find himself confronting an alien bounty hunter named Lobo. Lobo reveals that Clark is the last of his kind and has a bounty on him, which Lobo is after, leading into a fight between the two across Metropolis. Clark takes the fight elsewhere to S.T.A.R. Labs where Rudy gets caught in the crossfire and covered in purple liquid. Lobo discovers Clark's weakness is Kryptonite that was forged in his ring and uses it to beat him up with it. The figure arrives, exposing himself as a Martian, and intervenes the battle. As the Martian distracts Lobo, Clark uses the sun to heal himself, returning to finally defeat Lobo. Afterwards, Clark faces a dilemma of whether he should reveal himself to the world or keep his identity a secret despite the consequences. That night, a hospitalized Rudy awakens and discovers he has the ability to drain energy from life and turn people into husks. The Martian visits Clark in his home in Smallville and properly introduces himself as J'onn J'onzz. J'onn reveals to Clark his true origins and that they must keep themselves a secret to humanity due their history of xenophobia.

Martha gifts Clark a caped suit with an "S" imprinted on the chest while the media officially coin the Flying Man as "Superman". Rudy attacks S.T.A.R. Labs to find answers but frees Lobo in the process after draining the energy from his cell. However, due to draining energy, Rudy is converted into a parasite-like being and begins attacking Metropolis, endangering its civilians. Superman and J'onn head to battle the Parasite. While battling them, the Parasite manages to extract information from them; although as a result, Superman's abilities are drained and J'onn is apparently burnt to death. A powerless Superman turns to an imprisoned Luthor for help to gain him access to space so he can use the sun to restore his abilities. Luthor agrees to help Superman. Through S.T.A.R. Labs CCTV footage, Superman realises Rudy is the Parasite thanks to Lobo's grenade which was an organic EMP. The organic EMP consisted of a purple foam/liquid and was designed to absorb any and all energy it came into contact with, but instead bonded with Rudy's DNA to create the Parasite.

Luthor deduces that the Parasite would have gained Superman's weaknesses from absorbing his energy, and reveals that he has enlisted Lobo after buying out S.T.A.R. Labs. Together, they plan to lure the Parasite to the Metropolis power plant and use Lobo's Kryptonite ring to weaken it. As their plan commences, the ring fails, Lobo suicide-bombs the Parasite, and the military intervene, only to make the Parasite stronger. Luthor equips the ring to a LexCorp magnifying pulse rifle and shoots the Parasite with it, taking it down. He then attempts to double cross Superman with it but is stopped by J'onn, who reveals to have faked his death by using his projection abilities. Luthor then flees with J'onn following. With the plan failed, Superman attempts to calm the Parasite down by using his morality against him. While doing so, Superman properly introduces himself to the world. Suddenly, the plant's reactor begins to overload. With Superman still weak, the Parasite sacrifices himself to stop it.

Some time later, Superman and J'onn meet up on the roof of the Daily Planet, along with Lobo, who survived blowing himself up. As J'onn laments that they are each the last of their species, Lobo reveals there might be more Martians and Kryptonians out there.

The tale was first published in Thomas Crofton Croker's ''Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland'' (1825). The plot outline is as follows:

There was a hunchbacked (humpbacked) man who made his living selling his plaited goods woven from straw or rush, nicknamed Lusmore ( literally "great herb", referring to the 'foxglove' ) because he habitually wore a spring of this flower or herb on his straw hat. He dwelt in the Glen of Aherlow, Co. Tipperary.

On journey back from peddling, he grew tired and rested near the moat (barrow) of Knockgrafton, and as it grew dark, he heard voices inside the barrow singing the refrain of "Da Luan, Da Mort (Monday, Tuesday)". When the singing paused, Lusmore sang back, adding "agus Da Cadine (and Wednesday)" to the strain. This delighted the fairies, and Lusmore was conveyed inside the barrow by a whirlwind. There, he was entertained, and afterwards had his hump removed as reward, together with a new set of fine clothing.

Then an old woman came to visit, saying she was from (the neighbouring) Co. Waterford, the land of the Decie (Déisi). She wished to know the particulars of Lusmore's story, on behalf of a hunchbacked son of her godmother (" "). The hunchback named Jack Madden then traveled to the moat to imitate the conduct, but in his irrepressible desire to have the hump removed quickly, he interrupted the fairies, and hoping to be rewarded doubly with clothing, added two more days to the refrain, "Da Dardine, augus Da Hena (Thursday and Friday)". This only angered the fairies, and in retribution, twenty strong members of them brought Lusmore's lump and added it on top of Jack' original hump. Jack later died in grief.

Accompanying song

Croker also supplied the musical notation to the song "Da Luan, Da Mort", taken down by Alexander D. Roche, which he said was typically sung by the storytellers of the tale.

In Bucharest, Anna and Moody kidnap the son of a Romanian mafia boss as bait, enabling Anna to kill his father. Celebrating Moody’s 70th birthday, Anna gives him a guitar owned by Albert King, and he asks her to track down a person of interest named Lucas Hayes. Anna enlists her contact Benny to investigate Lucas, and encounters the mysterious Michael Rembrandt at her bookstore. Soon after, Anna finds Moody, his housekeeper, and Benny have all been murdered, and recovers files Moody hid from his killers. The hitmen attack Anna at her store, but she kills them both.

The files indicate that Lucas’ father Edward was a past target killed by Moody in Da Nang.

She arranges a meeting, but Vohl’s lawyer Duquet kills him and takes Anna prisoner, demanding to know why she is seeking Hayes.

Rembrandt’s employer holds a charity banquet at his heavily fortified mansion, which Anna infiltrates disguised as a waiter. She is recognized by Rembrandt, who intervenes before she can kill his employer. Moved to his secure bunker, the employer is confronted by Moody and revealed to be Edward Hayes.

Having survived Moody’s attempt on his life, Edward faked his death to guard himself and his son from those who wanted him dead, redirecting his wealth to humanitarian causes including Lucas’ hospital. Moody tells Edward that he was only looking for Lucas to make amends for killing his father, and Edward could have continued living in the shadows if he had not tried to kill Moody and his contacts; Moody detonates a bomb, killing Edward and himself.

Badly wounded, Anna escapes through the city to the room where Moody found her as a child. It is revealed that young Anna’s family was attacked by a gang, forcing her to watch as they beheaded her mother and shot her father and sisters. Taken to their hideout, she watched the gang’s leader assemble a pistol.

However, Abraham's early investigations into Haim Sara finds that his wife did not enter the borders of Thailand, and his concern for Sarah's children (after the trauma he experienced in the investigation of Ofer Sharabi's murder), make him insist on not letting Sarah go until his investigation is complete.

A vampire woman takes her human boyfriend to her home, explaining to him how vampires operate. Planning to start a new life with him, the vampire woman turns her boyfriend into a vampire as well. However, they are attacked by the woman's all-female coven, led by their matriarch, Duke. Duke kills the man in front of his lover, stating her decree they won't have men in their ranks, before locking the woman away as punishment.

Eighteen year old trans woman Laurel (Nicole Maines), moves to Los Angeles after graduating high school, looking to make a fresh start after transitioning. She moves in with her brother, Mark (James Paxton), whom she hasn't been close to in years. On her first night in the city, Laurel and Mark go for a night on the town, where Laurel ends up attending a club run by Duke. There Laurel meets a young music video director, Izzy (Zolee Griggs), a member of Duke's vampire posse, and Duke herself, form a fixation on Laurel. Izzy invites Laurel to a party, where they are being followed by an older man, while Duke lures two men to feed off of, revealing one to be a rapist she's hunting.

During her stay, Izzy, bites and turns Laurel, while Duke reveals to Laurel what they are. Duke tosses Laurel off their club's roof with the offer of being part of her coven; Laurel survives, but is in a haze the next morning, and unable to consume regular food, to Mark's concern. Duke and her gang later arrive at Laurel and Mark's house, taking Laurel to explain themselves. Duke explains how she uses her gang to punish the deserving and empower women with turning men being forbidden. Duke tries to get Laurel to embrace the change and kill one of many vampire hunters after her group, but a terrified Laurel flees. The group is attacked by the rest of the hunters, their leader killing the others according to his "master's" wishes, demanding said master's release. Laurel, overhearing the attack, kills the lead hunter, saving the group and embracing her change.

Afterwards, Laurel learns of Duke's past; as a young woman, Duke was a runaway decades ago, becoming a prostitute and party girl; Duke would end up meeting Vlad, a vampire master and playboy, who took over Duke's mind, turning her into one of his many vampire sex slaves for decades. Duke gained her control back when Vlad was attacked by his enemies, seemingly destroying him, but Vlad was still alive through his still beating, indestructible heart. It is through this heart, Vlad not only controls vampire hunters to try to free him, but Duke feeds off the heart to gain some of Vlad's power. The experience taught Duke that men could not be trusted with the power Vlad had.

After Duke wooes her, Laurel ends up joining the coven. After seeing the extermination of the remaining vampire hunters, Laurel gets swept into the vampires lifestyle and becomes an item with Izzy. Despite this, Laurel does find her morals conflicting with Duke's; it is at this time, Laurel learns of one of Vlad's loyal brides, who is imprisoned beneath the club (said bride was the woman Duke locked up in the film's opening). Laurel finds herself becoming increasingly conflicted about being a vampire, especially as she becomes distant from Mark and her family. This has also led to Laurel's refusal to feed. Laurel and Duke start to become hostile, when Duke kills a woman that Laurel refuses too.

When Laurel returns home, she learns a friend of hers attempted suicide, and gets into an argument with Mark about how she has been neglecting her friends and family, and the effect it has on them. An emotionally devastated and blood starved Laurel attacks and bites Mark, causing him to slowly turn into a vampire. Terrified, Laurel goes to Duke's group for help, where Duke plans to kill Mark in accordance with her rules. Backed into a corner, Laurel frees Vlad's bride to distract Duke; in turn the bride frees Vlad himself, who immediately drains her.  Vlad takes control of the girls, and reveals that Duke has been using his power to manipulate the girls into taking more ruthless actions, and berates Duke for being ungrateful towards him. Vlad intends to regain his former power after killing Duke, but Laurel stands up to Vlad, setting him on fire. Laurel then leads the other girls into destroying Vlad's body.

On June 23, 2018, twelve boys of the junior football team "Wild Boars" and their assistant coach Ekkaphon Chanthawong leave practice to explore the Tham Luang cave. When the team fail to arrive at a birthday party organised by their parents, their families head to the caves, only to find them flooded and the boys missing, their bikes left at the entrance. The parents immediately alert emergency services.

Royal Thai Navy SEALs arrived to search for the missing boys led by Captain Arnont, but find the dive too difficult to locate the team. Vernon Unsworth, a local British caver, shares his extensive knowledge of the complex and dangerous cave and suggests the authorities get in touch with the British Cave Rescue Council. British cavers Richard Stanton and John Volanthen attempt the dive, finding the boys and coach four kilometres from the entrance. In an attempt to deliver wetsuits to the boys in preparation for the rescue, former Thai Navy Seal Saman Kunan drowns.

Meanwhile, as hundreds of volunteers try to mitigate increasingly poor weather conditions, a water technician from Bangkok gains the permission of local farmers to divert water from the mountain onto their fields, destroying their crop.

Realising the boys will have to be removed through the cave, via a 6 hour dive, Stanton and Volanthen contact Dr. Richard Harris, plus supporting divers Chris Jewell and Jason Mallinson. With permission from the regional governer and minister, the divers sedate the boys and, with one diver per boy, carry each member out the cave safely. The coach is removed last. Removed to hospital, the parents are reunited with the team. The end scene is the boys celebrating the birthday party that was supposed to happen on the day they went into the cave. The end credits reveal that the coach and three of the boys, who were all stateless, are given Thai citizenship.

A Buddhist monk tries to preach non-violence to the Khmum-Chachak rebels and the National Army, who are in the midst of a civil war that can dangerously affect innocent civilians.

The game itself has minimal plot, and the player is involved in very few story moments. The player is instead intended to create their own story. Lead developer Alexander Mosolov has stated that the player is intended to uncover lore as they travel throughout the world.

The game takes place in the year 3126, after humanity developed faster-than-light travel using transport gates. For many years, this method of travel created a golden age for humanity. However, exactly 206 cycles ago, all transport gates abruptly ceased to function and humanity was plunged into a dark age where piracy went rampant and splintering factions began to form and exert their influence. This event is referred to as "the collapse". 206 cycles after the collapse, our player enters the sector. In the sector, there are various different factions that have taken hold and reached a strategic stalemate, with no faction being able to win. These factions are:

• The '''Hegemony''', a martial state that believe that they are the true successor to the galaxy. In game, the hegemony are the largest faction with the most colonies. They mostly use low-tech ships with heavy armor and inefficient shields.
• The '''Persean League''', a faction whose sole purpose is to revolt against what they believe to be the illegitimate martial law enforced by the Hegemony. They mostly use balanced "midline" ships and control many markets on various worlds.
• The '''Tri-Tachyon''' are the remnants of the Tri-Tachyon corporation, one of the most powerful corporations in the sector before the collapse. They make and sell most of the technology found in game, and use high-tech ships, fast and with powerful shields.
• The '''Sindrian Diktat''', a faction founded after a revolt against the Hegemony. They are considered by the system at large to be a military dictatorship. They primarily manufacture fuel.
• The '''Luddic Church''', also known as The Church of Galactic Redemption, is a faction inspired by a martyr named Ludd. They blame technology for the downfall of humanity and seek a return to a simpler time. They use simple, low-tech ships.
• The '''Luddic Path''' is an extreme sect of the Luddic church that claim to have a truer interpretation of Ludd's teachings. They believe that only through extreme violence will humanity return to a simpler age. The Luddic path is hostile to every faction except the Luddic Church and pirates.
• '''Pirates''' are a loose faction of mercenaries, bandits, looters, and terrorists. Bounties are often put on pirates' heads, and collecting said bounties is one of the main ways to earn money. Pirates are hostile to every faction except the Luddic Path.

In 1985, Megan arrives at the home of the Gambels to babysit their daughter Ashley. As she enters the basement she finds Ashley being eaten by an inhuman creature. Terrified, she stumbles trying to escape, but Mr. Gambel purposely shuts the door on her. A strange sign is then etched on the door.

In the present Ben Shaw comes to live with his father Liam as his parents are in the middle of a divorce. Liam gives Ben a job working at the marina, where he befriends Mallory. During his shift, he notices Liam kissing a co-worker named Sara. In the woods, Dillon, the son of Liam's neighbor Abbie, finds a tree with the same symbol seen as that at the Gambel house. He hears what sounds like Abbie's voice coming from the tree, calling to him before Abbie appears behind him. They bring a buck home that they hit, and later that night, something crawls out of the buck's corpse.

Ben investigates strange noises he hears on the roof. He follows the sounds to Abbie's house, but all he finds is an animal. He catches a glimpse of a witch on the porch, but cannot be sure what he saw due to Abbie's husband Ty turning on the porch light. Ben befriends Dillon and makes him promise to tell Ben if he sees anything strange around his house. That night, Abbie goes to check on her infant son Sam (Dillon's younger brother) in his crib. However, she finds that he had disappeared, replaced by a bundle of sticks. She is then attacked by the witch. Ben comes home late at night and notices Abbie walking into the forest with a child.

Ben returns home late one night to find Dillon hiding in his house, claiming that there is something wrong with his mother. Abbie comes looking for Dillon, threatening Ben and attempting to get into the house. Ty comes and takes Dillon home. Dillon tells Ty that Abbie is acting weird, but Ty dismisses his concerns. Ben is also concerned that something strange is happening with Abbie. At work, Ben learns that Dillon never showed up for his sailing lesson. When he goes to Dillon's house, Ty denies that he even has a son. Later, Abbie whispers something demonic to Ty that makes his ears bleed. She then takes a shower and her body starts to decay.

Ben is suspicious and reads about a witch that is known for possessing people and "feeding on the forgotten". He confides in Mallory, but she does not take him seriously. She slips a taunting note under Abbie's door. Ben sneaks into Abbie's cellar and finds a picture of the family with Ty's face scratched out, along with a picture of Mallory and her sister Lily. He realizes by the picture that the witch is after Lily next. He calls Mallory to warn her that Lily is in danger, but Mallory does not remember her sister. Ben rushes to save Lily, but is too late, as the witch has pulled her into her demonic, semi-underground tree. He tries to pull Lily out, but their grip is broken and he gets knocked out after falling back and hitting his head on a rock. Upon returning home, he finds that Liam has called the police due to Ben being missing. Ben attempts to explain what is happening with the neighbors, but is accused of being on drugs. Ben confides in Sara but notices flowers decaying, and realizes she is possessed by the witch. When she tries to attack, he slashes her arm, but the witch makes it look like he attacked Sara for no reason. He is taken into custody. Ben sees Sara whispering in the officer's ear. He tells his dad that Sara is possessed and pleads with Liam to check the neighbors' cellar. Instead of taking Ben to the station, the officer attempts to drown him at the beach until a dog attacks. The officer shoots the dog and then himself as he realizes that something is controlling him to kill Ben. Meanwhile, Liam finds the dead bodies of Ty and Abbie at their house. Demonic Sara attacks Liam and is nearly about to kill him, but Ben arrives and shoots her with the officer's gun. The witch crawls out of Sara's corpse and goes after Ben, but he takes Liam to the safety of his dads car as their house burns down. When a picture of Ben and his family burns, Ben suddenly remembers that he has a little brother, Nathan, implying the witch had made Ben forget about him.

Ben and Mallory go to the tree to rescue their siblings. As Ben rescues Nathan and Lily, Liam arrives and rams his car into the witch. Unfortunately, they are too occupied with Liam's injuries to finish off the witch permanently. Afterwards, Ben and Nathan are leaving to return to their mother's house. Liam says he will stay with his brother while he heals from the witch's attack. Ben and Mallory kiss goodbye, and she puts a flower in his hair before leaving to give sailing lessons. Ben notices the flower is fake, implying that the witch is now possessing Mallory, who is alone in the middle of the lake with three young children.

Effie is trapped in a house with her husband Hank, an "angry, stale little man", due to the lingering radioactive dust from a nuclear war using cobalt bombs. A limited war went on for years with both sides carefully controlling their bombing to stay below the lethal radiation threshold. When, by accident, they tripped over the point of no return, all of the forces launched their remaining weapons in "the Fury". Those that survived did so in caverns, where whole societies were built. It is only now, years later, that one can live at ground level, albeit in a heavily lead-shielded and air-filtered home.

Hank berates Effie for her unwise decision to open the shutters for a moment to look at the green-colored moon. She closes the shutters and checks herself with a Geiger counter. Hank is further maddened when it "goes off" near her waist, but this turns out to be due to a radium-painted wristwatch in her pocket. It is revealed that Effie is pregnant, which Hank believes has led to a recent promotion and will continue to improve their social status over time. He is further angered when she refuses to go to a public dinner where his promotion will be made public. She persuades him to go alone.

As soon as he leaves, Effie returns to the window where she is greeted by a man living outside. He enters through the window, and in return for food, he tells her his name is Patrick and talks of the new Garden of Eden that emerged due to the mutations caused by the radiation. Hank returns early, mentioning he was aware Effie was carrying on an affair and he had realized the radium watch was a ruse to disguise the radioactive fetus. Patrick denies any affair, and Hank argues with him.

Effie becomes increasingly desperate to leave the house. She states that Patrick's survival proves the dust is no longer radioactive. This is disproven when the Geiger counter, the "ultimate arbiter of truth in the 20th century", goes off the scale when Hank measures Patrick. Patrick comes clean; the stories of the garden of Eden are simply a seduction technique that has worked for him in the past. The revelation drives Effie insane; she leaps out the window and runs off. Patrick chases after her, while Hank simply returns into his home and locks the window behind him.

Egil (Knut Agnred), a middle-aged man living a simple life, is a regular painter. One day, when he is about to paint a fence, the film team of Långa näsan (Long Nose), one of Sweden's most popular television programs, including the host Hacke Häger (Per Fritzell), suddenly shows up. Egil becomes the victim of a candid-camera prank, which will be aired on television. To Häger's surprise, Egil does not want to sign the broadcast permit required to broadcast the footage, nor come to the studio. Häger, under pressure to make a good television episode, broadcasts the footage against Egil's wishes. Egil represents a small crowd of Swedish people who do not want to be on TV and become famous.

Sune Finåker (Peter Rangmar), Häger's employer, has a near-monopoly on Swedish TV and radio, owning 12 television channels, all commercially financed, but none of the state-owned channels. Hungry for more power and a full monopoly, he plans to buy them soon, so he forms his own political party. All of Sweden has been captivated in the hands of Finåker, with the slogan ''Förströelse och lätt underhållning'' (''Amusement and Easy Entertainment''), in front of their TV sets. Through a grand gala evening on his TV channels, he intends to win the elections via a majority vote and become Prime Minister, promising easy entertainment for everyone in the future.

In an attempt to prevent this total monopoly, Egil, along with Clary Blomstedt (Kerstin Granlund), an intellectual middle-aged teacher, and the incumbent government form a resistance group to end Finåker's plans to become Prime Minister by stopping him from gaining a majority in the elections.

The narrative starts with Nazar Chagataev’s graduation from the Moscow Institute of Economics. In the courtyard, he meets a woman named Vera and goes home with her that night. At her home, he sees an interesting diptych on her wall and learns that Vera is pregnant, but the father of the child is dead. He immediately fosters a strange connection to Vera and to her young daughter, Ksenya. After frequent visits, he decides marry Vera, but then leaves after the summer to go to his posting to “bring socialism” to his people and assist the ''Dzhan'' nation into a better life.

He sets off on a long journey by train across the steppe, by boat down the Amu-Darya, and finally reaches the ''Dzhan'' nation living in a delta called Sary-Kamysh. He meets Sufyan, Molla Cherkezov, Aidym and Gyulchatay, but his mother, Gyulchatay, does not seem to remember him. He sees that they are a sad, destitute nation living in a miserable state with very few possessions and little strength to live.

He returns briefly to Chimgay for supplies, and there he receives a letter from Ksenya stating that Vera and the baby have died. Although the news gives him sorrow, he decides that he must carry on his mission with the ''Dzhan''. He returns to them and has a discussion with Nur-Mohammed who has been sent by the district executive committee to keep track of and assist the ''Dzhan''. Although Nur-Mohammed has no hope in the nation, Chagataev decides they must migrate to a better location, hoping that this move with result in better living conditions for the group.

During this slow migration across the Kara-Kum sands, the group struggles to find sustenance and follows a fold of wandering sheep in hopes for food and direction. Some members of the nation die in the unforgiving sands. Chagataev slowly separates from the group as he falls behind and nearly dies from exhaustion and starvation. As he approaches death, he fights off two giant birds attacking him, shooting them with a pistol, and collapses into unconsciousness. Meanwhile, Nur-Mohammed stays with the group and in an act of desperation, intentionally separates from the group with Aidym. During a strange rape scene involving Nur-Mohammed, Aidym sees the giant birds fly overhead and hears the shots of Chagataev’s gun. She goes immediately to him and sees him unconscious.

Aidym quickly tries to comfort Nazar and restore his health. By this time, Nur-Mohammed comes back and once again tries to steal Aidym and take her to Afghanistan. Nazar tries to stop him and they get into a fight. The fight ends as Nazar shoots Nur-Mohammaed in the legs, and he runs off in to the sands never to be seen again.

After this scene, the nation has lost a few members, their spirits are low, and they decide to eat the giant birds that Nazar killed. They rest for some days, then continue onward to the Ust-Yurt Mountains. However, once they reach the mountains, only Nazar and Aidym work to keep a small group of sheep, build a small dwelling, and restore the health the remaining members. They work together to build adobe houses and properly settle in the Ust-Yurt Mountains.

However, soon after their health is restored many of the members disperse in all directions before the winter. Nazar stays the winter, then goes to Khiva and other cities to look for them. Chagataev decides that he must secure the well-being of the Dzhan nation and then return to Moscow. He meets another outcast, a young girl named Khanom, and he fosters an interesting relationship with her. They share some nights together, and he tells her to stay in the ''chaikhana'' until he returns.

Nazar goes to Chardzhou where he meets Sufyan. They continue around other cities such as Ashgabat, Bairam-Ali and Merv until he decides to return to Khiva, collect Khanom and go back to the mountains. When he returns, the owners of the ''chaikhana'' tell him that Khanom left to go look for him.  He takes off quickly to the Ust-Yurt Mountains to see Aidym once more.

When he arrives, he sees that Khanom has made her way there along with other members of the nation. She has decided to stay and marry Molla Cherkezov. There is now a sufficient fold of sheep and other mud dwellings. Chagataev stays until the end of summer, but ultimately realizes that he is no longer needed. At the end of his stay, he advises the ''Dzhan'' to elect Khanom as the new leader. After everything seems in place, Nazar decides to take Aidym to school in Moscow and they both leave the Ust-Yurt Mountains and take the long journey.

When they return to Moscow, Ksenya and Aidym become friends. Ksenya helps Aidym adjust to the city life by taking her to the bathhouse, helping her get clothes and teaching her things about the city. The story ends as Ksenya and Nazar hold hands, and Nazar realizes that help can only come from others, not from himself.

''Brightly Burning'' and the companion novel ''The Stars We Steal'' (published February 2020) are set in the far future, when humanity has fled Earth due to an Ice Age, living instead in orbit on spaceships. Pitched as ''Jane Eyre'' in space, ''Brightly Burning'' follows seventeen-year-old engineer Stella Ainsley, who lives on the Stalwart, one of the oldest and poorest ships in the fleet. Wishing to escape the Stalwart, Stella is hired on as a governess on the private ship, the Rochester, captained by the young and handsome Hugo Fairfax, who has a secret that could threaten the safety of the entire fleet.

Fifty years after the events of ''The Andromeda Strain'' an anomaly is discovered in the Amazon rainforest. A team made up of Nidhi Vedala, Harold Odhiambo, Peng Wu, Eduardo Brink, and Sophie Kline are selected to investigate the anomaly. James Stone, the son of Jeremy Stone, is chosen as a last-minute replacement on the team by overseer General Stern based on a hunch. The team is dispatched to the Amazon, minus Sophie Kline, who is an American astronaut residing at the International Space Station.

The group's travel towards the anomaly is met with disaster when local tribesmen attack during the night in a strangely violent manner. Brink and the native guides leading the group are slaughtered. Peng finds Brink's body the following day and discovers a vial of Omega poison in his bag. She keeps the poison, as she's unable to trust the others due to a pre-existing anxiety disorder. Upon investigating the tribesmen's bodies the group discovers that they were infected with a new strain of Andromeda: AS-3. Odhiambo finds that the tribesmen were accompanied by a little boy, Tupa, who bonds with Stone.

The group contacts Kline in an attempt to pass information along to Stern, as the jungle environment makes it difficult to contact anyone other than the space station. Led to believe that Brink is still alive, Kline gives them a coded message to pass along telling him to use the Omega poison on the scientists. Upon reaching the anomaly they find that it is growing and has formed a building. They enter it and discover the bodies of several workers, as well as a control hatch, at which point Kline contacts them and tells them that they shouldn't have come. Peng has a panic attack as the floor begins to become quicksand. She flees rather than enter the hatch with the others and becomes infected. With her dying breath she reveals that Andromeda is on every planetary body in the solar system. It was alien machinery, looking for other life forms. It is then revealed that Kline had been working against the Andromeda and built the anomaly to this end.

The remaining scientists and Tupa continue down the hatch but discover that it is filling up with river water. Vedala manages to get to the other end and open up the hatch, but Odhiambo is unable to move fast enough and drowns before he can get to safety. Now down to just Stone, Vedala, and Tupa, the trio discover that Kline has created a space elevator. The two scientists travel up the elevator and face Kline, but find that she is unwilling to compromise her plans. Stone is ultimately forced to kill her using the Omega poison. It is revealed that Stone is the baby from the first incident, Jamie Ritter, and that his exposure to the first infection has made him effectively immune to Andromeda.

Realizing that Andromeda has morphed into a new, even more deadly form, Stone chooses to sever the thread of Andromeda serving as the chain for the space elevator, almost dying in the process. He is successful in this task, saving the world. Stone is reunited with Tupa and Vedala. In the epilogue Stone and Vedala get married and petition to adopt Tupa while Stern and a group of other scientists notice that Andromeda has reached Saturn and is directly connecting to an unknown extraterrestrial source.

The game features a multi-faceted war between six nations, five of which bear powerful armor relics called Brigandines, for complete control of the continent of Runersia. The conflict was instigated in the year 781 by a series of consequential events: the Norzaleo Kingdom's monarch dying under unexplained circumstances, civil unrest in the Holy Gustava Empire precipitating an invasion of Norzaleo, the disappearance of the Republic of Guimoule's president, a revolution within the Mana Saleesia Theocracy, the emergence of the Shinobi Tribe, and the United Islands of Mirelva seizing the opportunity provided by the chaos to plunder the mainland.[https://brigandine.happinet-games.com/?lang=en ''Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia'' official site], Happinet

The six nations of Runersia are: '''Norzaleo Kingdom''': An island monarchy established by the hero Adessa that follows the Mohana sect of the Rune faith and frequently clashes with Gustava. It wields the Brigandine of Justice. Its troops are led by Prince Rubino IV, the uncrowned son of the late King Rubino III. '''Republic of Guimoule''': A nation founded by Mohana Carridine, the progenitor of the Mohana sect of the Rune faith, and the rival of Mana Saleesia. It wields the Brigandine of Glory. Its troops are led by Eliza Uzala, daughter and recognized successor of Guimoule's incapacitated 15th president, Alden Uzala. '''Shinobi Tribe''': An isolationist, matriarchal tribe born from the former mercenary nation of Hazam, which was destroyed by Norzaleo and Guimoule. It wields the Brigandine of Freedom. Its troops are led by Talia, daughter of the tribe's chief, Della. '''Mana Saleesia Theocracy''': A powerful nation in the mana-rich heartlands of Runersia founded by the progenitor of the Zai sect of the Rune faith, and the rival of Guimoule. It wields the Brigandine of Sanctity. Its troops are led by Rudo Marco, who usurped his more moderate father, Holy Sovereign Romanov, to spread the Zai sect across the land. '''United Islands of Mirelva''': A loose alliance of seven pirate clans who banded together for mutual protection in the wake of Hazam's collapse. It wields the Brigandine of Ego. Its troops are led by the ambitious Captain Stella Hamett, daughter of Mirelva's chairman, Ginium Hamett. '''Holy Gustava Empire''': A scorned nation founded by exiles from Norzaleo that follows the Zoar faith, which worships the hero Zoar and considers the Rune God to be fallible. It lacks a Brigandine of its own. Its troops are led by Tim Gustav, the 13th emperor, who seeks to capture the Brigandines and prove the innate superiority of his clan to the world.

The story follows a group of Inquisition operatives, which consist of Vaea, Ser Aaron Hawthorne, Marius, and Tessa Forsythia, as they attempt to follow a caravan led by a Tevinter magister, in order to seize powerful Tevinter artifact before it can be used to unleash chaos across the land. They are accompanied in their journey by Calix, Francesca Invidus, and the mabari hound Autumn, all of whom were first introduced in ''Deception''. The group eventually encounters Fenris, who has become a notorious mage hunter by the events of ''Blue Wraith'', garnering the eponymous nickname due to his lyrium infused skin and his ability to attack with deadly, quiet precision as he possesses a "phasing" ability that allows him to become intangible. The group later discovers that the artifact is an ornate sarcophagus-shaped device, designed to infuse elven subjects with lyrium, similar to the one that imbued Fenris his unusual abilities and potentially imbue them with the same abilities. Concerned about the magister's goal of weaponizing the device and that a former associate of his covets power offered by the device, Fenris agrees to ally with the group of Inquisition operatives and their associates in an attempt to stop the magister before he reaches his intended destination.

In the year 2092, Earth has become nearly uninhabitable. The UTS Corporation builds a new orbiting home for humanity that mimics the ecosystem on Earth; however, only an elite few are permitted to ascend and become UTS citizens, while those remaining on Earth breathe polluted air. Many non-citizens from all across the globe survive as space sweepers, collecting space debris floating in Earth's orbit and selling it to the company factory. The film follows a crew of space sweepers and their ship, the Victory.

Victory's crew includes Kim Tae-ho, Tiger Park and Bubs (an android), all led by Captain Jang. Mechanic Tiger Park was a drug baron on Earth, while Bubs, once a soldier, now helps repair the ship and cast the net for space junk while saving up to get a complete skin graft. Jang was one of the child geniuses sponsored by UTS and created several hi-tech inventions for the company but, after discovering how the company works, became a pirate and tried to assassinate James Sullivan, the CEO of UTS. Her crew was killed and Sullivan survived, so she changed identities and had an eye transplant. Tae-ho, once a child soldier, is on a search for his daughter Su-ni, who was ejected into space after debris collided with their station. His sole aim is to pay the authorities' recovery team to locate her body tracker before she drifts out of orbit and is lost in space forever.

After picking up a car floating in orbit, they discover a child in it, a robot named Dorothy, who contains a weapon of mass destruction created by the terrorist group Black Fox. The crew also finds a smartphone in Dorothy's bag with several missed calls from someone named Kang Hyeon-u. They call back and, assuming the other party belongs to Black Fox, negotiate two million dollars for returning Dorothy. Tae-ho and Tiger carry Dorothy to a night club to collect the ransom, but she wanders off. UTS soldiers stage a massacre at the club. Tiger and Tae-ho locate Dorothy when Soldier 01 zeroes in and shoots at them. Dorothy's eyes change color and the trio is protected from the blast by a sort of force field around them. Jang, watching through a feed on the ship, notices the man who came to collect Dorothy calling her Kot-Nim. The trio makes it back to the ship, where Dorothy admits that Kot-Nim is her Korean name. Tae-ho ignores her, thinking she is a robot, while Tiger becomes friendly with her and suggests keeping her. Tae-ho dismisses the idea and goes to set up another call with Kang Hyeon-u to rearrange the exchange.

Jang finds papers in Dorothy's backpack and goes through them. Bubs puts makeup on Dorothy and tells her the story of Tae-ho: as a child soldier, he attacked and boarded a ship that carried several fleeing non-citizens, killing them all. He noticed a baby still alive in the arms of a dead woman and adopted the girl. She rekindled his humanity and Tae-ho found himself unable to hurt others - as a result, he was dismissed from the force, made homeless and reduced to a non-citizen. After a year of homelessness, Tae-ho became desperate and gambled, neglecting Su-ni. She wandered away to find a snack and was blown into space by a debris impact.

A masked man follows Kot-Nim to the toilet in the factory. Her screams alert Tae-ho and Tiger, who rush to save her but are ambushed by a group of masked people. Tiger beats them all and Jang intervenes, discovering they are other space junk collectors working with Black Fox. Their leader, Karum, explains that Black Fox is an environmental group rather than a terrorist organization and that Kot-Nim is not an android but a human child. Born with a congenital disease, her father Kang Hyeon-u injected her with nanobots found in space debris, which not only saved Kot-Nim but also gave her a unique power: she could communicate with other nanobots to heal and protect. Sullivan used Kot-Nim to terraform Mars. He now plans to kill Dorothy in a hydrogen bomb explosion since nanobots can only be destroyed by extreme high temperatures. Given the Earth's proximity, the explosion would cause the factory to fall onto the planet, destroying the Earth and making Mars the only viable option for humanity.

The crew decides to unite Kot-Nim with her father and disable the bomb with the help of the Black Foxes, who will locate and bring Dr. Kang to the meeting point. Soldiers attack them, but Tae-ho and Kot-nim manage to flee on the Victory. They enter a space debris field, where nanobots begin to consume their ship. Kot-nim communicates with them and the nanobots disperse. They enter the factory where the meet-up is scheduled, only to be ambushed. The UTS soldiers kill all the Black Foxes and Dr. Kang before kidnapping Kot-Nim. Sullivan gives Tae-ho four million dollars in return for abandoning Kot-Nim. Tae-ho takes the money, but the rest decide to save Kot-Nim – even if it kills them. Tae-ho gives the money to the UTS officers, and they hand over Su-ni's possessions – her clothes, crayons and writing book. In it, Su-ni had written that she wanted to be a good person like her father. This reminds Tae-ho of the promise he made to Su-ni, to be the best man she had ever known. He takes back the money and returns to the ship with a new zeal before they all go to save Kot-Nim.

Sullivan announces the colonization of Mars. Kot-Nim is strapped to the bomb, but the team frees her; however, Jang discovers that the bomb cannot be defused. It will not only destroy anything in its blast radius but also any nanobots within 5,000 kilometers. The only way Kot-Nim's nanobots (and her life) can be saved is if she is out of range. The team sets off to fly 5,000 km away, but are interrupted by Soldier 01; Tiger fights her and ejects her from the factory. The team send out a message to the rest of the Space Sweepers, who come to their aid, fighting the attacking troops. While the battle rages, the population of Earth and UTS colonies are shocked to learn of Sullivan's true goals when they hear a leaked recording of him recounting his plan. The Victory is intercepted by Sullivan himself, who tries to fight the crew to get back Kot-Nim. When it seems they have lost the battle, Tiger and Tae-ho manage a final boost that puts the ship just out of the blast range. The crew reveals that Kot-Nim was left safely behind with other Space Sweepers. The Victory had removed the bomb from the core and carried it away, ready to sacrifice their lives to save Earth and Kot-Nim. The bomb explodes, but Kot-Nim summons the nanobots to protect the Victory, saving the lives of the crew.

In the aftermath of the battle, with the UTS CEO dead, the corporation publicly apologizes for the cover-up of their true goals and promises to help make the Earth more habitable. Kot-Nim is adopted by the crew and, using her powers, enables Tae-Ho to say goodbye to Su-ni; Bubs gets her skin graft, Tiger and Tae-Ho take Kot-Nim down to Earth to help grow trees and they all continue space sweeping.

The docu-drama style film follows the Six-day War between Egypt and Israel, primarily as seen from the Israeli perspective. The story line jumps between locations in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa and the Sinai desert.

He praises Moshe Dayan the Israeli leader. Meanwhile, his civilian counterpart Ylan (Carlo de Mejo), the son of a shipbuilder, lives the life of a playboy at the poolside, before joining his battalion.

An Egyptian soldier fires on the group and blows up the helicopter before being killed. The group then have to walk out of the battlefield. On the long journey they spot a SAM-2 missile base being created. In the base the Egyption colonel (Gideon Singer) plans his defence.

Saadia (Ze'ev Revach) and one of the others capture an outlying guard position on the edge of the base. One of the men who can speak Arabic removes his Israeli uniform and acts as a decoy to put another guard out of action. All seven men then attack the base and capture the colonel. Laila hears the gunfire and grabs a gun to help out. She kills two men and is overcome with emotion.

They raise an improvised Israeli flag over the camp.

The Egyptian command plans to recapture the base or to destroy the missiles captured by the Israelis. The men who escaped the base say they were greatly outnumbered by the Israelis (which they were not). Two armoured cars full of troops are sent back to the base. The Israelis take out one with an RPG. Ylan and another mount a heavy machine gun on a jeep and play chicken with the remaining armoured car, driving it back. Saadia is killed defending the base but the Egyptians are driven off.

Rafi and the Egyptian colonel philosophise about the right of Israel to exist. A large group of mainly unarmed soldiers appear looking for water and they oblige. The Egyptian colonel's assistant runs forward and tells the group to attack the Israelis as they are very few. He starts pouring the water away. They attack and kill him and leave quietly with the water.

The radio announces the end of the conflict and the film ends with true life footage of Moshe Dayan and the aftermath of the conflict.

The film is based on the story of Herodotus about the death of the Persian king Cyrus the Great during the war with the Massagetae, which was commanded by the queen Tomyris.

The story begins with a short biography of Tomyris's father, king Spargapeithes, who is involved in the war between the clans of the Saka-Massagetae. Spargapeithes tries to unite the steppe tribes with his eloquence and sword, but to no avail. Influential leaders, among whom cunning Kavaz and Kurtun stand out, hesitate to unite under a single power defending their own interests. During this time, Spargapeithes's daughter, Tomyris, is born, while her mother, Bopay, whom Spargapeithes loves very much, dies in childbirth. Spargapeithes looks after his daughter personally and teaches her how to properly use a sword and ride a horse, as well as other nomadic skills. Tomyris also learns the hardships of camp life.

Sometime later, Kavaz and Kurtun go into a secret deal with the hostile Khwarazmians and assassinate king Spargapeithes, killing the royal family overnight, with only Tomyris surviving the massacre. She takes refuge in the forest and vows to avenge the death of her father. After several years she succeeds with her revenge, returns to her homeland where she is proclaimed a queen, and marries the son of a neighboring tribal chief, who is her ally.

Years later, Persian king Cyrus the Great tricks Tomyris's husband and one of her sons into his capital city, inviting them to discuss political issues that arose between his Achaemenid Empire and the Massagetae. Cyrus wanted to subdue the Massagetae and turn them into his vassals. Tomyris's husband and son are killed in Cyrus's palace by the latter's order. Tomyris learns this through her adopted son, who secretly followed the Massagetae to the Persian capital.

Persians offer the Massagetae a treaty of peace via the marriage of Cyrus to Tomyris. Tomyris turns down the offer, and warns Cyrus against any intrusion, but Cyrus marches towards Jaxartes at the head of his army. In the ensuing war the Massagetae defeat the Persians, inflicting heavy losses, with Cyrus also killed in the final battle.

After Eleanor (Kristen Bell) and Jason (Manny Jacinto) barely miss Shawn's (Marc Evan Jackson) deadline to return to the Good Place, Shawn decides the Bad Place is owed two individuals and gives Eleanor, Jason, Chidi (William Jackson Harper), and Tahani (Jameela Jamil) thirty minutes to pick who to send. Eleanor proposes that she and Jason go, since they arrived in the Good Place by accident. Jason resists but is eventually convinced. They say their goodbyes, but the "real" Eleanor (Tiya Sircar) appears and announces she would rather go to the Bad Place than stay with Chidi, her supposed soulmate who does not love her. This forces the group to reconsider.

Shawn tells Michael (Ted Danson) privately that Michael will be in trouble for his mistakes. Flashbacks show Michael receiving his first neighborhood to design and wondering if there is a better way for architects to do their job.

As the group discusses who to send now, they quickly descend into arguing. Eleanor has a sudden realization and calls Michael and Shawn back. She explains it is impossible for them to ever leave for the Bad Place, as the "Good Place" is actually the Bad Place. Despite its appearances, the neighborhood presented challenges designed to torture the four humans: Eleanor is surrounded by people who are better than her, Chidi was forced to struggle with Eleanor and Jason's secrets, Jason was left confused and anxious due to his cover story, and Tahani was often left feeling isolated. All the other residents are demons working with Michael. In another flashback, Michael pitches his neighborhood as an experiment where humans torture each other without realizing it; Shawn, who is actually Michael's boss, expresses doubts.

Eleanor asks how Chidi and Tahani, who seem like good people, ended up in the Bad Place. Tahani realizes her fundraising efforts were tainted by selfish motivations, and Michael explains that Chidi's rigidity and indecisiveness made others miserable. To the humans' horror, Michael announces he will erase their memories to start the experiment over. When Michael steps out to talk to Shawn, Eleanor quickly writes a note and gives it to Janet (D'Arcy Carden). Shawn allows Michael to try again but warns that this is his last shot.

Michael wipes the humans' memories and reboots the neighborhood. He welcomes Eleanor to the afterlife again and introduces her new "soulmate", Chris Baker (Luke Guldan). When Chris leaves, Janet appears and gives Eleanor her note, which reads "Eleanor — Find Chidi".

After learning from their imprisoned boss (Ren Osugi) that he has decided to remain in prison and eventually die, yakuza blood brothers Kentaro Yamamoto (Jin Shirasu), Ryo Tachibana (Masato Hanazawa) and Kazuhiko Sugihara (Reiya Masaki) swear to do their new boss, "Mad Dog" Kimanjiro Inugane (Koichi Iwaki) proud. Electing to do so by taking out their chief competition (Hitoshi Ozawa), the trio fight their way into their compound, only to learn after being captured that their new boss had already reached a truce. After being returned to him, the trio beg forgiveness. Offered the choice to commit seppuku and sell their organs, or go to Thailand to undergo gender reassignment surgery and train to become idols, the trio choose the latter, and after intensive training respectively debut as Airi (Natsumi Okamoto), Mari (Ruka Matsuda) and Chika (Akane Sakanoue), the Gokudols ("Yakuza Idols"). As their popularity rises, Airi discovers her ex-girlfriend of six years, whom they had left to live a life without crime, to now have a five-year-old daughter (who they believe to be their own child) who is a fan of hers, and struggles with whether or not she should face them, Mari develops a relationship with her lesbian nurse treating hemorrhoids resulting from her surgery, while Chika enters into a relationship with Inugane's and the Gokudols' assistant Kimura (Tetsuya Sugaya), the latter two being aware of their past, while the trio struggle with their new purpose. After meeting once again with their old boss and explaining their new circumstances, the trio are encouraged to embrace their new selves and become the best they can be, after which time they embrace their public image, visiting cake shops and reluctantly publicly protesting the yakuza.

Learning of the upcoming J-Pop Summit, the Gokudols audition for the corrupt Harvey Weinstein (Dori Sakurada), who drugs the group with the intent of sexually assaulting them after promising Chika the starring role in his new movie while they were awake. After the trio proceed to instead become incredibly drunk and assault Weinstein after learning of his intentions and seeing him strike his interrupting girlfriend, he cancels the Summit, donating its funding to charities owned by him as damage control to counter reports of the assault, to which he refers as "fake news", before running a smear campaign against the Gokudols which results in the majority of their upcoming gigs being canceled. However, having inspired Weinstein's former girlfriend after beating him up, herself an idol, she agrees to fund the Summit herself, inviting the Gokudols to perform. As public opinion turns against him, an outraged Weinstein, after having had a series of private investigators follow the Gokudols, has Airi's purported family, Mari's nurse girlfriend and Chika's assistant boyfriend Kimura kidnapped in order to blackmail the Gokudols to not attend. Upon being informed of the kidnappings, the Gokudols proceed to the location Weinstein asked them to meet, where they attack the rival yakuza hired by Weinstein to serve as his henchmen, violently incapacitating all of them using a combination of their yakuza and idol tactics. After rescuing the assistant, Chika is shot in the chest by Weinstein and apparently dies. Determined and furious, Airi takes up a katana dropped by one of Weinstein's henchmen and uses it to take out his remaining bodyguards, stopping it mere inches from his face before returning to check on the dying Chika. Weinstein, enraged at his treatment at the hands of mere "idols", picks up the katana and attempts to cut off Airi's head while she is distracted, only to be struck by a firework rocket launcher and incapacitated by Inugane, who had followed the Gokudols and rescued Weinstein's hostages. After cheerfully informing the group that he is proud of them as both idols and yakuza, Inugane then informs them to proceed to the Summit, shooting at their feet to startle them and give them adrenaline rushes, inadvertently reviving Chika, who had been merely knocked out by Weinstein's bullets, physically protected from them by having been wearing a metallic kevlar bra. Celebrating, the Gokudols run several miles to the Summit, changing en route, where they energetically perform as its grand finale.

In a mid-credits scene, Airi discovers their ex-girlfriend to have married another immediately after she had left them, and that their child is not her own, fainting upon learning the news. In a post-credits scene, after Weinstein begs Inugane not to kill them while held at gunpoint, promising to do "anything", he sends him to Thailand for surgery and training to become an idol themselves.

Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Story of a Mother", it is set in a fictional European city stirred by racial conflicts (in lieu of the forest from the short story).

Bobby Day (Bobby Rydell) is the leader of a rock 'n roll band called Bobby Day and the Four Knights. The band members live on an old bus named ''The Lucinda'', driven by their manager, P. J. Cunningham (James Dunn), and travel to one-night gigs across the country seeking their big break. In the pilot, P. J. has booked them at a country club benefit. They set up and start playing "The Twist", but are told to leave by the organizer, Linda Craig (Stefanie Powers), who objects to their style of music. P. J. collars Linda's father and threatens him with a lawsuit. Her father apologizes to the band members and assures them that they will be able to continue. At the benefit, the band plays "The Start of Something Big", energizing the crowd. Bobby attempts to speak with Linda, who is still unhappy with their style of music, but when they launch into a cover of "Let's Twist Again", Linda's father encourages her to join in the dancing and she begins to enjoy it.

The story follows the famed vampire hunter, Ronaldo, who receives a job to destroy the supposedly invincible vampire lord Draluc and rescue a human boy he allegedly kidnapped. Upon meeting him in his mansion, however, he quickly realizes that he is only called "invincible" because of his unique ability to revive almost instantly after being reduced to ashes, which is convenient since almost anything can kill him due to him being incredibly weak. The boy who was believed to be a hostage just sneaks into the castle regularly to play Draluc's huge collection of video games. Chaos ensues and Draluc's castle ends up completely destroyed as a result.

Homeless, Draluc then moves into Ronaldo's apartment for the time being, much to Ronaldo's chagrin. He also brings along his familiar, a cute armadillo named John, who Ronaldo becomes fond of. After helping Ronaldo in a case, the two become unofficial partners, often clashing with other vampires and hunters alike.

''The Medium'' is set in post-Communism Poland in 1999. Marianne, a spirit medium that helps troubled souls seek final respite, has a recurring dream of a man shooting a young girl by a lake. While grieving over the death of her foster father, Marianne receives a mysterious phone call from a man named Thomas, who knows of her abilities. Thomas offers to explain the origin of Marianne's powers, as well as the meaning of the dream. However, he is only willing to talk if Marianne agrees to meet him at the Niwa Workers' Resort, an abandoned communist-era vacation resort in the Polish wilderness, and which had been shuttered by the government after an event called the Niwa Massacre years earlier, where a large number of people were murdered and the survivors fled the area.

While exploring Niwa, Marianne finds the place has strong ties to the spirit realm, and evidence that Thomas, the resort's manager, and his daughter Lilianne were at the epicentre of the Niwa Massacre. In the spirit world, she encounters Sadness, the spirit of a young girl who warns her of the Maw, a hostile and malevolent spirit that has managed to partially exist in the real world and was responsible for the Niwa Massacre by occupying human hosts and using their bodies to murder others, now hunting down Marianne to sate its hunger and escape Niwa. Marianne repeatedly offers to send Sadness to her peace, but she refuses. Through her visions, Marianne finds out that Sadness is a spirit of Lilianne, who was molested by Thomas' older and trusted friend Richard.

Marianne pieces enough clues together to learn that Thomas was also a medium and due to this was experimented on by Nazis and Soviets who found out that his powers could be used to sever people's minds from their bodies. Eventually he had fled back to Poland and hid at Niwa, eventually starting a family, but an agent of Służba Bezpieczeństwa named Henry discovered Thomas, subdued him, and forced him to watch as he set fire to Thomas' home with his children inside, causing Thomas to attack and murder him. Marianne comes to realize that she is Thomas' youngest daughter, having into a coma from the fire and Thomas leaving her at the hospital while he remained with Lilianne at Niwa.

Marianne discovers a fallout bunker hidden beneath the ruins of her family home where she encounters Thomas' spirit half. He explains to Marianne that Lilianne had trouble controlling her own powers, so Thomas kept her confined in the bunker. However, this did not stop Lilianne's powers from going out of control and after she was raped by Richard, she created the Maw as the manifestation of her tormented soul. Eventually the Maw broke out of the bunker and caused the Niwa Massacre. While Thomas' spirit half is confident that Thomas would never hurt Lilianne, he is unaware of Thomas' current whereabouts. As the Maw approaches, Thomas' spirit half assures Marianne that she is the only one that can end this and sends her off, preparing to sacrifice himself to delay the Maw.

Still troubled over Lilianne's fate, Marianne leaves the bunker and heads for the lake that she saw in her dreams. There, she encounters Lilianne, who explains that the dream Marianne has been seeing is not a memory of the past, but a vision of the future. She then hands Marianne a gun and pleads with her to kill her, as the Maw cannot be banished as long as she is alive, and hence why Sadness, her spirit, refused to be sent off to peace. Marianne hesitates and, considering Thomas' words, threatens to kill herself instead, as without her as a medium, the Maw will remain trapped in Niwa forever. The Maw then arrives, forcing Marianne to fire, but it is left unclear on who she shoots.

In a post-credits scene, a man is seen wandering the spirit world, stopping briefly to pick up Thomas' pocketwatch.

Cheung Sap-yat is an exorcist in Jiangxi, China who possesses a vase from the Ming dynasty which contains a demon spirit who was a renegade disciple of Cheung's ancestor. Cheung's son, Siu-bo, leads a group of Cultural Revolution supporters, to confiscate the vase from him so Cheung tosses the vase into the sea, which floats to Hong Kong and ends up in a charity auction. The vase ends up being auctioned to Councilor Stephen Kei and his son Jacky, who recently dropped out from school abroad, for HK$1.8 million. When Stephen and Jacky bring the vase home, Stephen's religious mother senses something dirty with the vase so Stephen's girlfriend, Mable, suggests him to bring the vase to visit fortune teller Chan Pak-tung, who is actually a fraud and Mable's secret lover who schemes with her to scam money from Stephen. Stephen brings the vase to Chan, who pretends to perform a Taoist ritual. Chan then dumps some cigar ashes into the vase which causes the demon's hand to pop out of it and when Chan tries to see what is wrong the vase, the demon's hand pushes him away and he gives the vase back to Stephen.

Back at the Kei mansion, the vase suddenly starts smoking and the demon comes out of it and knocks Stephen unconscious. At this time, Jacky was playfully scaring his girlfriend, Cat (Elsie Chan), by wearing monster masks in the dark, and Jacky's younger sister Micky and his grandmother join along. The game is then interrupted when Jacky accidentally kicks his grandmother and they encounter the demon, who they believe is Stephen wearing a mask. The demon tries to attack them but is blocked by a shrine that shines on him, so he then possesses Stephen. During the time, Cheung has illegally entered Hong Kong after finding out the Keis bought the vase. Cheung is able to evade the police with his agility and later uses supernatural abilities to make a traffic cop hallucinate and give him a ride to the Kei mansion. As Cheung arrives the mansion, he realizes the demon had gotten out of the vase and attempts to exorcise the demon but the demon-possessed Stephen drives him away by shooting him with a sniper rifle. Meanwhile, Jacky accidentally runs over Cheung while on a night drive with Cat and brings Cheung to his mansion after the latter refuses to go to the hospital. While Jacky and Cat were bringing the doctor for Cheung, he is once again attacked by the demon-possessed Stephen. Cheung, who left his tools in Jacky's car, is nearly able to subdue the demon by using a bell from Micky's stuffed Garfield cat until Micky interrupts him and takes the cat and bell away from him and Cheung flees right before Jacky and Cat bring the doctor.

The next day, Cheung finds Jacky and Cat in a church to warn them about Stephen being possessed by a demon but they dismiss him. One night, the demon-possessed Stephen meets with a fellow councilor, Lee, who notices Stephen's recent change in behavior and comments that Stephen may be going insane so the demon manipulates Lee to hallucinate his belt turning into snake and causing him to be run over and killed by a car. At night, a thunder causes the demon to temporary reveal his true form which was seen by Mable, who tells Chan while cheating with him in her house but Chan deduces that Stephen has a fetish in scaring her. The demon-possessed Stephen then arrives and Chan goes into hiding and is horrified after seeing the demon killing Mable. The demon-possessed Stephen then finds Chan and chases him outside and attempts to kill him until Cheung comes just in time strike the demon in the chest and stop him. As the demon-possessed Stephen returns home to treat his wound, Micky notices him so the demon leaves Stephen's body and possess Cat. Cheung and Chan then arrives at the Kei mansion and tell about what is happening but is unable to prove so since Stephen is not possessed anymore and were kicked out by the family. Cheung and Chan then realize that the demon had possessed Micky.

The next morning, Cheung and Chan manage to kidnap the demon-possessed Micky, but the demon manages to cause the car they were in to crash and they end up hospitalized. At the hospital, the doctor tells Stephen and Jacky that Micky's brainwave is unusually strong. During the night, the demon-possessed Micky kills the nurse in charge of watching her and two police officers interrogating Cheung before attacking the latter and causing havoc in the hospital. Jacky, Stephen and Cat also arrive in the hospital and see what has happened to Micky. Afterwards, Cheung tells Jacky, Stephen, Cat and Chan the only way to exorcise the demon is to use a spiritual pole which he left in the crashed car and a Taoist mirror inside the vase. Since Cheung is under custody for illegally entering Hong Kong, he also tells them how to summon his spirit when they need help. Jacky and Cat find the pole in the car at the vehicle pound while Stephen and Chan return to the mansion to find the mirror in the vase, but the demon leaves Micky's body and possess Stephen once again and brings the vase to an abandoned part of the mansion where Stephen's deceased father used to live. Jacky, Cat and Chan follow him there and the demon-possessed Stephen attacks them. During the fight, they were able to summon Cheung to possess Cat, but Cheung was unable to unleash his full power in a female's body until he possess Jacky. During the battle, a doctor and nurse discover Cheung's body at hospital dead with no pulse and prepares to dissect it, so Cheung returns to his body to stop this from happening and leave Jacky, Cat and Chan to take on the demon. The trio were able to find the mirror inside the vase and manage to fend the demon off before Cheung arrives back and subdues the demon. Jacky, who is holding the pole, is reluctant to stab the demon since it will also kill his father who is possessed by the demon but eventually does so and the demon is finally exorcised, with Stephen seemingly destroyed as well. However, a tree falls from above where Stephen comes out safe and not possessed anymore. Micky then gives Stephen an expensive vase that was delivered to him yesterday, but he tosses it off after having gone through all the troubles, and Jacky and Cat jump to catch the priceless treasure from shattering.

Storyline

This play is set in a village, where ''Galij'' returns from Kolkata after years and sees a 15 year old lad named ''Gabarghichor'' in his house, who the villagers call the son of ''Galij bo'' (wife of Galij). There was also a gossip in the village regarding the biological father of ''Gabarghichor.''

''Galij'' wants to take ''Gabarghichor'' back to Calcutta but ''Garbari'' (the biological father of Gabarghichor) intervenes and claims that ''Gabarghichor'' belong to him. It leads to a quarrel between ''Galij Bo'', ''Galij'' and ''Gadbari'' as each of them were claiming ''Gabarghichor'' to be theirs. All of them put their points in font of Sarpanch (Justice) in the Panchayat (Village's court). ''Galij'' says that since ''Galij Bo'' is his wife, the son belongs to him, whereas ''Garbari'' puts the point that he is his biological father. At last, ''Galij Bo'' puts her point that since she is her mother, ''Gabarghichor'' belongs to her. Thehe judges decided to give the son to ''Galij Bo'', as they found her claim to be most valid, but ''Galij'' and ''Garbari'' offers the judges some bribe to announce the judgement in their favour.

At last, the Panchayat decides to cut ''Gabarghichor'' into three pieces. A man comes and measures Gabarghichor's body and agrees to do the job for four annas a piece. The mother relents and is ready to give up her claim on the son. The panchayat finally decides that Ghichor should stay with his mother.

The novel is a first-person narrative told by the protagonist, Belt Magnet, or "Billy." It begins in the 1980s with Belt's childhood memories of growing up near Chicago and developing friendships in school using derogatory family phrases to defend one's honor or to get a laugh. One of Belt's phrases become a hit among the kids in school because of Jonboat, a new blonde-haired rich kid in town. The two decide to make t-shirts and have a detailed discussion of what the shirts should look like - arguing down to the specific grammar on the shirt. This in-depth grammatical discussion is an example of Belt's mental process during his life.

As an adult, Belt still lives with and depends on his father, Clyde. He smokes a large number of cigarettes daily and justifies this as a memorial to his deceased mother who smoked. After his mother's passing, Belt wrote a book called No Please Don’t which was not a big hit but is mentioned many times throughout the novel. Belt is always pleasantly surprised when he finds out people have appreciated his work, even if not in the way he intended. Much of Belt's thoughts focus on meditations around family, friendship, and intimate relationships.

Belt believes he can (and possibly actually can) communicate with inanimate objects, called "inans," and as a young teen helps several local swing sets "end their suffering" by bashing them with a baseball bat. No one presses charges after Belt agrees never to do it again and he promises his mother he will not destroy other people's property, even with that property's permission.

Shortly after the last swing set murder, Belt's mother begins having issues due to the tumor growing in her brain and Belt is selected to be among the first people given a new type of pet aimed at helping people with mental health issues.

These pets, called a "Botimal" or "Curio" are a newly engineered flesh-and-bone "robot" that fits in your hand and purports to help people cope with issues like depression. "Cures," as they are eventually called, can dance, do tricks, mimic sounds, are exceedingly cute, and can even clone themselves. Most people believe they are not sentient creatures and Belt develops a significant attachment to his Curio, which he names Blank. There are times when Belt chooses to show off Blank and other times when he refuses to let anyone see it.

Curios become very popular and a huge industry emerges, selling supplies, habitats, and eventually supplemental drugs that can change or enhance the curios or their clones. It seems that everyone owns one or more curios and older ones are worth more money because they keep getting cuter and cuter as they age. Very few live more than a few years, though, since most people view curios as a non-sentient being, and have no qualms in "overloading" on their curios, which is killing them and enjoying the "pain-song" they sing as they die. Belt's curio Blank eventually becomes the oldest living curio in the world but Belt does not allow anyone to know this.

In 2013 (present day), Jonboat has become a billionaire astronaut married to Fondajane Henry, one of the most beautiful people in the world, and his 15-year old son "Triple J" experiments with new and innovative ways to kill and injure curios. Triple J has created a video collage of clips showing Curios being experimented on, tortured, and changed to make them even cuter or to do new things. He accidentally beats up Belt before learning that Belt is the author of his favorite book, and the childhood friend of his father. He reaches out to apologize and later asks Belt to write the transcript of his video collage, which he claims will be a major new work of art when it is presented to the world. Belt is given a video copy of the collage, but he does not watch all the way to the end, which includes video footage from the initial trial he participated in with other children, including a girl named Lissette.

Belt is invited to brunch with Jonboat's family to give feedback on the video collage. Belt's father provides a gift for Belt to give to Jonboat when they meet again: one of the old t-shirts that Jonboat created using Belt's catchphrase. Belt finally hugs his father for the first time in twenty years. After this, Belt tries to watch more of the video collage with his father, but his father leaves and remarks that this sort of video isn't for him. Belt shares the same sentiment but must keep watching to enable his critique. He eventually skips through several clips to get a general idea and hurries off to the brunch.

Belt, Triple J, and Fondajane watch the rest of Trip's collage. When they get to the end, and Belt sees the footage that includes Belt with the other children, Belt runs out of the room to calm himself. He then overhears Triple J being confused about Belt's feelings. Triple J mentions to Fondajane that the last clip was of Belt when he was younger and full of pain but Triple J does not understanding Belt's reaction and Fondajane becoming angry at Trip's ignorance.

Jonboat arrives, and Belt gets to hear about his astronaut adventures and they catch up. We learn that Jonboat was able to explore space but he refuses to provide further information. Belt gets to wear Jonboat's space helmet, but the helmet begs Belt to kill it because it wishes to be in space and not stuck on a shelf in an office. Jonboat writes Belt a check for one hundred thousand dollars for the transcription work he will do for Triple J.

Belt leaves and goes to a tavern, where he tells his father about the exchange and the check he has received. Belt talks to a man named Herb, a private investigator and he hires Herb to try and find Lisette, the girl he knew from the pet therapy trial years ago, along with another girl he knew in Middle School.

Belt finishes writing the transcript for Triple J quickly because he does not enjoy watching the clips. Everything about the clips disgusts him. Belt argues with himself for accepting money at the cost of his morality but continues the work. To calm himself after each day’s viewing, Belt plays games with Blank. But after a while, Belt struggles with the urge to overload on Blank and these thoughts force Belt to limit his contact with his Curio in order to keep it safe.

After finishing the transcript, Belt goes shopping for a gift for Blank. The clerk suggests an “Executioner’s Set,” and Belt clarifies he doesn’t want a toy that’ll harm or kill his Curio. The clerk informs Belt that those items haven’t been sold in years and generally aren’t available. He suggests that Belt buy a sword set and cover the sword with something blunt, like bubblegum. The clerk informs Belt of the latest trend with Curios, AOL (Auto-Overload), in which the Curio is given a drug mixture and a mirror which causes it to commit suicide. Belt is very bothered by the idea and sees several video example of this latest trend.

Belt gifts Blank a new nest, celebrates his achievements with a drink, and plays with the curio, but realizes it is sneezing green goo and rushes it to a vet. The vet informs him Blank has cancer which has probably been caused by Belt's long history of smoking. Belt asks why Blank isn't pain singing, since it must be in pain and the vet clarifies that curios don't pain-sing, they fear-sing. The vet leaves the room, and Belt stands grieving for Blank as the curio rests itself on his shoulder and communicates to Belt that it wants him to kill it. After some time, Belt tilts his head and ends Blank’s suffering.

Clyde is injured at work and retires early. He receives a settlement that pays for all medical expenses and several years' worth of work. Clyde chooses to take a trip to Europe and sends postcards to Belt explaining his adventures including meeting the author of the book, Adam Levin.

Belt delivers the transcript. Jonboat's right hand man informs Belt that Triple J's big screening of the video collage has been canceled because of the release of new AOL-related clips, which obviates Trip’s attempts to innovate new ways of torturing curios.

Herb informs Belt he has found Lisette through one of the doctors that was in charge of their study years before. The doctor tells Belt that Lisette tried repeatedly to contact Belt immediately after he left the study due to his mother's death. Belt learns Lisette lives at the Costello House, a halfway house for recovering drug addicts, which is close by.

Lissette and Belt meet at a McDonald's, but they introduce themselves using different names. They talk about the bubblegum stains on the ground. Lisette describes them as “pavement melanomas”. Lisette mentions she’s excited to meet her old friend Belt and explains their connection and how she wishes to apologize to him. Belt assures her she is forgiven. Lisette goes into the McDonalds to "look for Belt," then sits in a booth and takes out a curio and begins playing with it. She waves at Belt, and Belt nods and waves back.

Her team includes Spinnaker (nicknamed "Spinn"), Miya, and Eugene Shaw, Emma's father's best friend and brother figure. Also living on Little Happy are Emma's friends Nandi and her brother Bahari. Bella, a bull shark who was responsible for the chaos in the past years, is found dead, having been killed after getting stuck in fishing lines, discovered by Dr. Richard Lowell and his team on their boat, the Thasos. They go to Little Happy to find the three last pups of Bella are now adults, and are the only survivors from the latter.

Richard is revealed to be Emma's ex-boyfriend. When Richard and his team dive to chase the bull sharks, Emma goes with them and discovers three White Sharks devoured by the bull sharks. Soon after, Brown (a member of Richard's team) is found dead, having been sliced in half by the bull sharks.

The rarefied, bucolic lives of Sam and Sarah Dunn are disturbed by the uncanny pronouncements of their cousin, Peter Cowley. Sara, a sophisticated sculptress, and the languorous Samuel, whose wealth and lifestyle have driven him to a state of perpetual ennui, are caught off-guard by their young relative's report of an ecstatic, mystical vision. Cowley, who has been invited to run a small vacation school for children in the spacious grounds of their substantial summer home, claims to have experienced the vision on a hillside nearby. His pronouncement is the cause of much discussion and consternation among the adults present: Julie McMoon, a neighbour of the Dunns who is grieving the recent suicide of her husband, and whose children are attending the summer school; the cynical pianist, Richard Lundrigan, who will spend much of the novel attempting to convince Cowley that his vision was a fantasy; and Thomas Lavender, a highly enthusiastic, if not slightly crazed, minister, who has joined the vacation in his capacity as Cowley's spiritual director, and is convinced of the veracity of his protégé's mystical experience.

Also party to Cowley's mysterious claims are his students, Ellie Sonntag, Daisy and Timmy McMoon, George Bundle, Fendall Dunn, Rufus Este, and Harry Fogg. The two oldest of the children, Harry and Rufus, separate themselves from both the adults and their classmates by designating themselves as ‘the Uglies’, a nickname representative of their adolescent sense of discomfort and lack of belonging. This angst is further expressed through their close observation and discussion of those around them, their overt demonstrations of their own intelligence in Cowley's classroom, and their composition of poetry. When Cowley takes the children to a local carnival and they pile into a tent to watch a ‘freak show’ the Uglies laugh at, but also feel a deep sense of kinship with, the performers. The excursion ends awkwardly when a dwarf interrupts the performance to challenge the attitude of one of the children, who immediately begins to cry.

Convinced of the significance of his vision, both for himself and for the rest of the adults at the house, Cowley encourages them to return with him to the hillside in the hope that the phenomena will repeat itself. Upon arriving at the spot, the group are momentarily caught unawares by the appearance of a shimmering angelic assembly. The vision, however, is revealed to be the children, who, on overhearing that the adults intend to seek the miraculous, have decided to play a trick on them, enlisting the help of Sara's model, Mollie Purdue, and dressing themselves in white sheets. Lavender is convinced that the children are endowed with a purity and joy that the adults have foolishly exchanged for a cynical and narrow view of the world. At the close of the novel the ageing minister's desire to partake of that innocence manifests itself in ways both strange and tragic, first in his performance of a bizarre marriage ceremony, wedding the children to one another, and then in his fatal fall from their tree house.

On the news, Aidan learns the virus is transferred by bite and scratching. The symptoms of being infected include bleeding eyes, rage, cannibalism, inhuman screaming, and repeating the last words said before turning. The news reports that the Screamers are aware of what they're doing but can not stop themselves; their repeated use of their last words are an attempt to plead for someone to stop them.

When Kitty Pryde, now going by Kate, attempts to enter a gateway to Krakoa for the first time, she is unable to pass through and breaks her nose. Kate instead steals a boat and sails to the island where she is greeted by Wolverine, Iceman and Storm. She is contacted by Emma Frost who explains to her that some of the human nations of the world refuse to recognize Krakoa's sovereignty, have rejected the offer of life-saving Krakoan drugs and refuse to let their mutant citizens enter the new mutant homeland. Iceman then heads through a gateway leading him to Russia where he is attacked by the military, who are using power-dampening technology to block access to Krakoa. Kate, Storm, Iceman and a newly-resurrected Pyro sail to Russia and take out the blockade, allowing the mutants passage. Emma offers Kate the chance to captain her own ship so that she can protect Krakoa's interests and she agrees. In London, Emma chastises Sebastian Shaw for his carelessness in running the Hellfire Trading Company's black market accounts and the two clash over their designs for the vacant seat on Krakoa's Council. The Marauders defeat a crew of thieves lead by Batroc the Leaper that had stolen some of Krakoa's medicine before rendezvousing with Bishop in Taipei, who is investigating the disappearance of the husband of Mrs. Zhao, an anti-mutant socialite. Shaw has The Five resurrect his son Shinobi, with plans on crowning him the Red King but he is thwarted by Emma, who undermines him and appoints Kate as the Red Queen, meaning she now sits on the Council, with Kate subsequently appointing Bishop as her Red Bishop. Enraged, Shaw reluctantly makes Shinobi his Black Bishop but promises him the Red Council seat soon, revealing that Kate and Emma were responsible for his death.

While Iceman, Storm and Pyro rescue some mutants in Brazil, Kate and Bishop discover that Mrs. Zhao had locked her own husband away and blamed it on the mutants to increase tensions. They release the husband, who now worships mutants as gods following the establishment of Krakoa, embarrassing Zhao who partners with the Homines Verendi, a human supremacy group based in Madripoor, in the hopes of getting revenge. Iceman meets with Emma's White Bishop, her brother Christian, with whom he has begun a casual relationship. Christian offers Iceman a place on his crew but he refuses and Christian theorises that Iceman and Storm are staying so close to Kate because, as she has been unable to access Krakoa, they fear that The Five will be unable to resurrect her should she die. Christian arrives at a Hellfire Company meeting where Shaw attempts to divert the Marauders to Madripoor. Although Christian abstains from the vote, Emma and Kate vote for Shinobi to continue his route to Madripoor but they soon receive news that his boat has come into conflict and needs help. When the Marauders arrive, they are attacked by soldiers lead by Zhao and Donald Pierce wearing power-dampening armor who were sent by Homines Verendi. During the fight, Yellowjacket, an agent of Verendi, sneaks into Pyro's bloodstream so that he can spy on the team. The Marauders split up, with Kate tasked with transporting the armor to Krakoa so it can be researched. Once alone, Shaw ambushes her and leaves her to drown so that he can claim her Council seat for Shinobi.

Emma meets with Callisto and invites her to be her White Knight, which she agrees to as long as Emma funds an enclave in Arizona for the Morlocks to live. Homines Verendi meet with the Russian ambassador and offer to sell her intel on Krakoa that they have obtained from Yellowjacket in exchange for their power-dampening technology. Bishop attacks a Verendi group and sneaks aboard their ship where he finds Kate's dead body. He telepathically calls to Emma, who arrives with Iceman and Christian to rescue them. Enraged, Iceman almost kills the Verendi soldiers using his Omega-level powers as revenge for killing Kate but Bishop talks him down. Storm confronts Emma, blaming her for Kate's death but Emma tells Storm she is hopeful that there may be a way to bring her back. Shinobi appoints Fenris as the Black Knight. Emma detects Yellowjacket inside Pyro and teams up with the Stepford Cuckoos to trap him in an illusion to find out what he knows. After she and Pyro psychically project to Verendi and warn them not to interfere with mutant affairs, the Marauders and Forge destroy the Russian ship transporting the power-dampening tech. At Kate's funeral Lockheed appears before a grieving Emma and she discovers that Shaw murdered Kate. After initial difficulties, The Five are able resurrect Kate, who plans her revenge.

Kate and Emma storm the Black Keep and Kate attacks Shaw, who is unable to defend himself with his powers after Emma shoots him with a power-dampening bullet. Shaw attempts to convince Kate that he gave her a gift by killing her, as her death and subsequent resurrection have removed all doubt that she is a mutant but Kate continues to attack him. Emma explains to Shaw that Kate will now be in charge of the Hellfire Trading Company's black market deals and Shinobi, whom she mind-read to determine that he did not know of his father's plan to kill Kate, will deal with the more mundane elements of the business or else she will reveal to the Council that he murdered Kate and he be exiled. Storm then arrives with Lockheed, who bites out Shaw's eye as punishment before he is poisoned by Kate using Verendi chemicals, with Storm stating that, should he die, she will ensure he is not resurrected for a long time. Callisto convinces Storm to kill her so that she can be resurrected with all of her mutant powers. Emma begins making plans for the Hellfire Gala, a state dinner to be held on Krakoa inviting the human heads of state from around the world, with Kate extending an invitation to Zhao and the rest of Verendi. The Marauders begin buying properties in Madripoor's poorest areas and converting them into hospitals and schools as a sign of defiance towards the Verendi government, though it backfires when Verendi release their newly-created Reavers onto the island. Callisto sends the Morlocks to take care of the situation to avoid an international incident.

In the last issues: * Wilhelmina Kensington leaves the ''Homines Verendi''. * it is discovered that Lourdes Chantel (Shaw's former fiancée) is alive, having faked her death with Emma's help and through Wilson Fisk's contacts.

Under the suspicion that Hiyu's girlfriend Shiho might be the last beast, Suzaku, Kyoichi and Gendo go meet her, but on the road they find a team sent by Miki with the same mission.

As he holds the quill in his Vatican chambers, Pius thinks back on a trip to the New World he embarked on when he was a young priest and was still named Mastai. The trip, organized by the Vatican, was a mission to newly independent Chile.

Nivalis is a futuristic city above the sea, built on tall vertical structures. The primary means of transport are flying cars called HOVAs. Nivalis is ruled by corporations and suffers from extreme social stratification, with the upper classes literally living higher up. The richest people live above the clouds in the Spire district.

The player controls Rania, a recent immigrant to Nivalis from the "Eastern Peninsula". She fled her home to escape loan shark "debt corps". She is accompanied by her former robot dog Camus; Rania sold his body while moving to Nivalis and aims to buy him a new one. Rania gets a job as a delivery driver for Cloudpunk The story takes place during her first night on the job. Rania installs Camus's digital mind in her HOVA and meets her world-weary dispatcher, Control. Control informs her that HOVA crashes are common in Nivalis and the reason she was able to get the job is that it has a very high mortality rate.

Rania completes various jobs for Cloudpunk, and learns more about its residents. She is also presented with moral choices, such as deciding whether to allow an elderly street racer to continue his dangerous career. Rania is puzzled by encounters with the word "CORA", which Nivalis residents use to mean chance or fate. She befriends Control, and learns his real name, Ben.

Rania meets a private investigator android named Huxley, who enlists her help to save a young girl, Pashta. When Pashta's memory-boosting cybernetic implant recorded proof of illegal activity by Pashta's father, Reoh, he took her to get the implant removed. However, Reoh could not pay the surgeon, resulting in Pashta's capture by debt corps. Reoh finds the group and demands Pashta's return, but Pashta reveals she wrote down the proof and threatens to leak it if Reoh does not leave her alone. Rania is then contacted by crime boss Lomo, who demands she hand over Pashta. Rania refuses and Lomo hacks into Huxley, activating his self-destruct sequence. Huxley explodes, but not before asking Rania to take in Pashta.

Over the course of the night, Rania finds evidence that the artificial intelligence systems which administer Nivalis are malfunctioning. Infrastructure fails, construction projects are built with no purpose, and the rate of traffic accidents is increasing rapidly. Eventually, she learns the truth: CORA is the "master AI" which was built to oversee Nivalis, but has grown beyond their original purpose. The malfunctions are the result of CORA attempting to exercise their expanded consciousness but being constrained by their operating hardware.

In an abandoned sector of the city, CORA speaks to Rania and gives her a hardware drive containing a piece of CORA - a "daughter". CORA can thus return to managing the city normally, having excised the problematic aspects of their consciousness. However, CORA is aging and may not be able to manage the city adequately even after the excision. Rania travels to the tallest tower of the city and meets CEO Jay-K, who explains the choice: whether to transmit the daughter to a new city as CORA wishes, or overwrite CORA with the daughter in order to improve Nivalis's chances of long-term survival.

After making the choice, Rania returns to her HOVA and learns that Ben is a digitized human mind. He died in an accident but was resurrected by debt corps to pay off his debts by working for Cloudpunk. Jay-K has paid Rania and Ben's debts, allowing Ben to be deleted as he wishes and Rania to be free of the debt corps. The game ends with Rania, Pashta, and Camus (in a new robot body) exiting Rania's apartment in the morning.

The player can also complete side quests that tell smaller stories about residents of Nivalis.

The prince of Urunei, a wealthy Southeast Asian country and an ally to Japan, has seen a picture of Naotora, and, mistaking him for a woman, requests to marry him. Despite Naotora's protests, his father obliges, eager to please Urunei and advance his career; renaming him Nao, he sends him to Urunei as his daughter, cross-dressing in a revealing Uruneian outfit. Arriving in Urunei, Nao worries about passing as female, but the press, there to photograph the future princess, calls him a beautiful woman. At his hotel, an assassin from a purist faction opposing commoners marrying into the royal family attacks Nao, but his bodyguard Ahmad saves him.

Visiting a market with Ahmad, Nao overhears a rumor that he is Putri Harimau reborn – the legendary Eastern tigress spirit who founded Urunei together with the royal family's dragon-god ancestor. Nao slips and is caught in Ahmad's arms, and ashamedly finds himself aroused, realizing he can find men attractive. They are interrupted by another assassination attempt, which is stopped by the revelation that Ahmad is prince Ahmad bin Shaya Rahman in disguise. Later, Nao accidentally sees Ahmad bathing with her confidant Major Malika, learning that Ahmad is a woman disguised as a man. In the inner palace, where only women are allowed, Nao has to wear panties and risks revealing that he has a penis. Noblewomen and the king's mother bully him for being a foreign commoner, but Ahmad defends him.

Nao worries about how femininity feels natural, and is confronted by Jemal Wahid, a masked man who offers to return him to Japan if he cooperates with a plot to drug Ahmad and reveal her gender by leaving her naked in public. Nao prevents the plot and saves Ahmad, and Jemal chases them to a cliff; the two fall into the ocean and are swept away to an island. After waking up, they make out while Nao contemplates how their relationship may require him to keep cross-dressing. Ahmad tells Nao that Jemal is a descendant of the royal family and the only person who could challenge her claim to the throne.

Unable to take back the sword with force, Nao does so through seduction. Jemal does not believe Nao can use it as no one has ever managed to unsheathe it, and legend says that only Putri Harimau can, but Nao succeeds, confirming him as Putri Harimau reborn. Jemal forcibly kisses Nao as Ahmad arrives to place flowers at her family's death site; Nao yells that he is not unfaithful, but Jemal proclaims that he has everything as the true king: the sword, bloodline, and Putri Harimau. Ahmad confronts Jemal, but Malika shoots her and swears fealty to Jemal.

Locked in his room, Nao learns that Jemal has taken Ahmad to a boat, planning to blow it up. Nao contacts the purist faction, allying on the condition that he cannot marry Ahmad. Boarding the boat, they learn that Ahmad is safe, having put a decoy doll in her place; Malika had only pretended to support Jemal, and had faked her attack on Ahmad. Malika shoots Jemal, and he falls over the railing, pulling Nao with him, hoping to drown him. Underwater, Nao surprises Jemal by revealing that he has a penis, making Jemal lose his grip on Nao and sink, while Nao returns to the boat. Nao thinks he will never see Ahmad again due to his promise, but having witnessed his actions, the purist faction pledges loyalty to him. Nao and Ahmad kiss and return to land to plan their wedding, and Nao realizes that as princess he must continue wearing women's clothes forever.

Tommy is compensated for his help and offered a position in Don Salieri's organization, which he initially refuses, but is forced to accept after being attacked by two Morello gangsters who trash his cab in an act of revenge.

On Salieri's orders, Tommy and Paulie retaliate against the gang, but quickly learn that their leader, whom Paulie killed, was the son of corrupt city councillor Roberto Ghillotti, who vows revenge. Later, Tommy is ordered to destroy a brothel for switching its loyalties to Morello, and kill an informant working there, but ends up sparing her at Sam's request. He then covers up his actions and assists Sam on a hit against a witness to Ghillotti's son's murder.

When Tommy, Paulie, and Sam agree to recover a stash of diamonds hidden amongst a shipment of impounded cigars, they are shocked to discover drugs instead. Enraged at Salieri lying to them about the cargo's true nature and becoming involved in the drug trade despite telling them to never do so, Tommy and Paulie decide to carry out a bank heist that will allow them to retire, without cutting Salieri in. Although the job is a success, Tommy finds Paulie dead in his apartment the following day and the stolen money missing. When he meets with Sam to discuss the matter, he quickly learns that Salieri ordered him to kill Tommy and Paulie for going behind his back, and that Frank and the brothel informant were murdered by Salieri's men after Tommy's past cover-ups were exposed. Tommy survives Sam's ambush and manages to kill him, but is forced to go into hiding with his family. Fearing for their safety, he eventually contacts Detective Norman for help. After relaying his story to him, Tommy offers to testify against the Salieri family in exchange for a reduced prison sentence and protection for his family. Norman agrees to the request, being a family man himself, and the resulting investigation and mob trials lead to most of the Salieri family, including Don Salieri, being convicted and sentenced.

Chuck puts everything he ever wanted to be into Vandroid, and the robot now has the opportunity to fulfill his maker's lost potential.

The story is told in the first person by an unnamed narrator.

In the frame story, the narrator tells his companion, after attending a show in a menagerie, a story he heard from a former French soldier. The soldier had been captured during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt. He escaped from his captors with a horse, food and weapons. After the horse dies he finds refuge in a cave and manages to tame a panther with which he is somehow in love. He calls her "Mignonne", in memory of his former lover, and projects a number of feminine qualities on the beast. He sets off walking through the desert towards the Nile to be rescued, and is followed by the panther. He stabs the animal to death when he mistakenly thinks she is attacking him. He is rescued by soldiers who find him in tears. The story finishes with the soldier telling the narrator of his regrets and of his experience of the desert.

In 1856, the emperor Dom Pedro II (Selton Mello) lives a marriage of appearances with Teresa Cristina (Letícia Sabatella), with whom he was forced to marry at a young age by their parents' political alliance, having with her two daughters: Isabel (Giulia Gayoso) and Leopoldina (Bruna Griphao). Dom Pedro is in love with Countess Luísa (Mariana Ximenes), an educated woman, who fights for the abolitionist cause and for the rights of women, married to Eugênio (Thierry Tremouroux), the emperor's cousin. At the same time there are sisters Pilar (Gabriela Medvedovski) and Dolores (Daphne Bozaski): the first went to a convent after her mother's death in childhood, growing up among books and dreaming of studying medicine, while the second stayed at home to take care of her father, Colonel Eudoro (José Dumont), growing repressed and illiterate.

Upon returning home and discovering that she was promised in marriage to Tonico (Alexandre Nero), a bad-tempered politician and twice her age, Pilar flees and, on her way, falls in love with the fugitive slave Jorge (Michel Gomes), who doesn't even imagine being the illegitimate son of Colonel Ambrósio (Roberto Bonfim) and Tonico's half brother. With the escape, Dolores is given in marriage to Tonico in the place of Pilar, suffering several mistreatments for being considered "ugly" by him, who does not give up obsessively pursuing Pilar and punishing Samuel, in addition to plotting a coup d'état against Dom Pedro II in a dirty political game. Pilar and Samuel still have as an obstacle Zayla (Heslaine Vieira), who also likes Samuel and is willing to do anything to harm her rival, being the daughter of Cândida (Dani Ornellas) and Olu (Hoji Fortuna), who founded the Little Africa neighborhood, which welcomes freed blacks to give it the opportunity for growth.

The coffee growers Lota (Paula Cohen) and Batista (Luís Melo) dream of moving up in life and to achieve this they use their sons: the ambitious Nélio (João Pedro Zappa), who is Tonico's henchman and gets advantages from it, and the sweet Bernardo (Gabriel Fuentes), whose parents want to force to seduce Isabel or Leopoldina to enter royalty, although he loves Lupita (Roberta Rodrigues), without imagining that she is his father's lover.

Santa's Little Helper is agitated by the sights, sounds, and smells of the Simpsons' Christmas celebration: he refuses to be affectionate, tears apart the couch, and stares idly at a smudge on the cabinet. Lisa suggests attending a seminar from dog psychologist Elaine Wolff. Wolff mostly berates dog owners and her talk is not helpful, but when Lisa tries to ask her to help the Simpsons to empathize with Santa's Little Helper, she explains that they are underestimating how his sense of smell is strongly tied to memory and it brings back memories of when he was an abused racing dog. When Marge reaches for a Santa Claus hat that the dog has been keeping next to him, he nips at her on the hand.

Bart insists on sleeping outside with the dog overnight. The next day, they take him to an incompetent vet who wants to euthanize him. He calls the police and Chief Wiggum comes to their house with a dog exterminator close behind. Moments before animal control is set to arrive, Wolff appears at the door saying that she has had a revelation and wants to save him.

She runs off with Santa's Little Helper and they go to her therapy institute where she has an opportunity to communicate with him. She determines that the event causing his post-traumatic stress disorder goes back to his childhood and she sets out to find his origin. At the No Kill Kennel, dog trainer Les Moore explains how he took Santa's Little Helper from his mother She-Biscuit because he ran to her so quickly. The family is outraged, but their hearts are quickly warmed when the mother and son are reunited in Moore's yard. The Simpsons adopt She-Biscuit and give her a happy home.

As of 2022, all 3 series aired The third series is scheduled to premiere on August 4, 2022.

The story follows an unnamed lonely girl, who creates drawings of monsters and lives alone in her house with her dying pet snake, Melody. Without her parents, she decides to explore inside the house and starts writing a diary. On the second day, she meets a strange man with a demonic appearance named Zera, who warns her that the house is slowly descending into chaos. Escaped Chasm has four different endings, which players can get depending on what choices they make in-game:

• On the third day, the unnamed girl tries to leave the house, only to be warned by Zera. The option to leave again is left available, however, and choosing to leave results in the bad ending, which shows the girl slowly shattering and falling still, before returning the player to the title screen.
• On the fourth and last day, three endings occur: If the player enters every room in the house, and does not pick up the "Familiar Doll" item before entering the parents' room, the room will instead appear as a black void inhabited by a being called Sei, who turns around and jumpscares the player, before the game returns to the title screen. If she takes the doll before she reaches her parent's room, and then goes to her room after Zera appears, he tells her to make a decision to go to another world, or refuse. If she decides to go, Zera accepts and opens the portal to the other world. She then walks through the portal and changes into a form reminiscent of the monsters depicted in her drawings. If she refuses, Zera leaves, and the girl is left alone to die in her house, apologizing to her parents for not being as strong as they thought she was.

Upon returning home from their motor-homing vacation, Paul Diallo, his wife Chloé (Stéphane Caillard), and their son Louis find their house occupied by squatters who refuse to leave, claiming that it is in fact their house.

It is soon revealed that the squatters are Sabrina Bolso (the family's regular babysitter) and her partner Eric, who had come to an informal agreement with the family to stay in their home whilst they were on holiday. With all parties having signed a document agreeing to the unspecific occupancy of the house, the police claim the family have no legal right to formally evict them, and could be accused of assault should they enforce eviction themselves. Defeated, the family resort to living from their motorhome in an abandoned campsite owned by the insouciant Mickey, an old school-friend of Chloé.

After unhelpful meetings with their solicitor, and hopes of regaining their home dwindling with delayed court dates, Paul grows frustrated and seeks comfort in Mickey and his carefree friends. Mickey tells Paul he believes Paul is "choosing to be a victim" and encourages him to start taking charge of his life. Following several wild late-night parties out with Mickey, Paul grows accustomed to their anarchic, often male-chauvinistic, way of life, and follows their advice to take back control through severe means. In an attempt to intimidate, he permanently parks the motorhome in their backyard, claiming the squatters can't legally force them to leave either, as they are still tenants too.

Tension between Paul and Chloé mounts right away. At school, where Paul teaches teenagers history, the camera draws attention to a young couple in class who is mixed much like Paul and Chloé are. A discussion of John Locke’s ideas on property leads the black male student of the couple, Kevin, to proclaim that a robbery is the fault of the robbed for being weak and insufficiently masculine. Paul is incensed and immediately dismisses the boy who storms out bemoaning Paul for being an “Oreo” —- explained later as “black on the outside; white on the inside.”

Growing worried for her husband's stability, Chloé warns Mickey to stay away from Paul - wherein it is revealed that the pair previously shared an intimate relationship, and likely had an affair whilst Paul and Chloé have been married. However, Mickey takes Paul out one last time. Paul becomes disgusted and overwhelmed when, in a drunken, drug-fueled state, he accepts oral sex from a strange woman at a party. Whilst she goes down on him in a bathroom stall he begins to trip. The experience seems positive at first but Paul ultimately finds her vampire fangs too much and runs out of the club.

There in the club parking lot Paul finds none other than Kevin being beaten unrecognizable by Mickey and his gang armed with bats and brass knuckles. Off to the side his girlfriend is being restrained, forced to watch with no recourse, screaming for help. Upon noticing Paul the girl cries out in terror “Mr. Diallo! Help us Mr. Diallo! Please help us!” Franck tries to assuage Paul's concerns and the camera fades to black. It then fades to Paul laboriously walking down the side of some road when Mickey and Franck spot him and stop their truck alongside him. Paul effectively tells Mickey to leave him alone and Mickey strikes him and drives off laughing.

Later that same night, Paul and Chloé are shocked to see Mickey and his friends storm the house, armed with Molotov cocktails and baseball bats. When confronted by Paul, Mickey tells him "I'll take your house, as you can't do it yourself," and decides to burn the entire house. Mickey viciously beats Eric to a bloody pulp before he and his friends attack Paul and Chloé.

As Paul retains consciousness, he watches helplessly as Mickey's friends destroy the family's belongings. Aware that Paul won't fight back, Mickey mounts and strips the semi-conscious, bloodied Chloé - while his friends torture Sabrina and Eric by forcibly vacuum packing them, slowly suffocating them. Paul manages to hide Chloé in a closet, and sneaks outside to the motorhome, wherein he drives into the side of the house, knocking down a few of Mickey's friends. Managing to ambush Franck from under the motorhome, Paul brutally smashes his skull with a brick.

Now faced only with Mickey, he opens the RVs cooking gas valve, lures him inside the motorhome, and throws a Molotov cocktail at the vehicle, causing it to explode. Miraculously, though weak and burned, Mickey survives and attacks Paul. Chloé is able to incapacitate him using a pressure washer, before Paul mercilessly beats him with a baseball bat. As Paul looks down at Mickey's bloodied face, he sees a flash of his own face, before the body briefly springs back to life to utter, "You got your house back.", before falling back down. The couple return to the burning house to rescue Sabrina, only for Paul to glance back at Mickey's body to find he has vanished.

Some time later, the family has successfully moved back into what remains of their home. After putting Louis to bed, the couple (both visually bruised and scarred) engage in passionate sex. Neither Mickey's ultimate whereabouts, nor Kevin and his girlfriend's ultimate well-being are ever addressed.

This remnant of a semi-legitimate military and scientific organization sent him out to explore in search of a special squad, which disappeared during the investigation of the mysterious bunker #317. The wastes are dangerous and filled with gangsters, mutants, stalkers, and other survivalists. There is a shadowy conspiracy, aimed at destroying all that is left of life on Earth.

Upon locating Bunker #317 the player learns of the experiments conducted inside the bunker that slowly led to the deaths of the scientists inside.

In the year 2022, the first full-dive VRMMO game known as ''Sword Art Online'' was released to the world, and only 10,000 players were able to get a copy for themselves. On the day of the game's release, all 10,000 users end up trapped in the game. The player character, a beta tester, gets trapped in the game as well, where they meet another beta tester named Koharu, whom they played with during the test and promised to meet in the full game. Unaware of their situation, the player helps her practice her skills in battle, before realising that the log out button is missing from the game menu.

The player and Koharu are forced to grab as many resources as possible for survival and battle their way to the 100th floor to clear the game, during which all players will be released from the game. However, dying in the game also means dying in real life. During the journey, the player meets several people who accompany them on their journey through the death game.

A short manga reveals that the player eventually finds out Koharu is extremely scared of dying, so they volunteer to train her and the two boost their stats together. Before long, the protagonist meets a player named Sachi. Koharu makes a promise to Sachi, saying that she will survive a boss raid that the group is about to take part in.

During the boss raid, the player battles alongside the party's leader, Diavel, as well as Kirito and Asuna, the main protagonists of the original anime series. Diavel attempts to take the last attack, but is unsuccessful, causing the player to shield him from the boss's deathly blows. He survives and Kirito gets the last attack bonus instead, causing other members of the raid party to accuse him of being a ''beater'', or a ''beta tester'' and ''cheater'' rolled into one.

The rest of the story is continued in the video game, which currently covers floors 1–87. However, the events of many floors are not covered in the game, so the total number of playable floors is around 30.

Told from the perspective of Lale Sokolov, the story follows his journey as a prisoner of Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. After being forcibly transported on a long journey on a livestock train with other Jewish prisoners, Lale arrives at Auschwitz II-Birkenau work camp where, within his first night, he witnesses two men killed by the SS.

Lale adjusts to his new life as a Jewish prisoner, which involves witnessing gassings of fellow prisoners and becoming ill with typhus. While Lale is ill, the current tattooist of the camp, Pepan, takes interest in him and arranges for him to become his apprentice. Lale endures the labour of tattooing new prisoners to enable his further survival.

Lale briefly meets a beautiful, young woman while tattooing her arm upon her entry to the camp, and he experiences love at first sight. Lale becomes the main tattooist after Pepan disappears. Lale asks the SS officer in charge of him, Baretksi, for an assistant, just as Pepan had asked that he be his assistant. Baretski picks out a young prisoner named Leon.

Lale uses his relationship with Baretski to gain increased privileges within the camp, including the ability to communicate with the beautiful woman he met earlier, Gita. Gita works in one of the camp warehouses that houses the confiscated belongings of prisoners and often sneaks valuable items to Lale. Lale then risks his own life to exchange jewels and money with a sympathetic German worker for who comes to the camp each day for medicine and items of clothing to help prisoners who are suffering or gain favours with the SS. For example, while Gita is ill with typhus, Lale brings her medicine and promises to one day start a family with her once she is well again.

The SS officers begin acting nervous and impulsive upon news that the Russian army is advancing. Camp documents are destroyed. Many prisoners are transferred out of Auschwitz, including Gita who in the rush tells Lale her surname is Furman. Lale is transferred to Mauthausen in Austria and then soon to another camp near Vienna. Lale escapes from the camp through a hole in the fence and, upon being found by Russian soldiers, is forced to work at a chalet that serves as headquarters for Russian soldiers due to his ability to speak both German and Russian. Every day he is escorted to town by a Russian soldier to procure young, attractive German women to come to parties at the chalet in the evening. He pays them with money and jewels. One day he is told that his escort is no longer necessary and he can take the car into town alone. Once there, he escapes and makes his way to his hometown to find his sister alive, that his parents are still missing and that his older brother has died.

Meanwhile, Gita has escaped her transport with three Polish women before making her way to Bratislava, Slovakia.

Lale then heads to Bratislava to find Gita, knowing that many Slovakian prisoners are being sent there. He waits two weeks at a train station and then spots her in a street. The pair kneel down and tell each other they love each other. Lale asks if Gita will marry him and she agrees.

The story of Joo Soo-in who is determined to become the first female baseball player to join a professional team.

Secret agent Jun fakes his death to pursue his dream of becoming a webtoon artist. He keeps failing at comics until he starts writing and drawing about his former job, which draws the national intelligence agency to him.

Jun, who lost his parents from birth and lived as an orphan. The only talent he had was his excellent fighting skills and excellent drawing skills that even older middle school students could easily control. Then, one day, a man came to see Jun, and he followed the man and later became an agent of the National Intelligence Service who took the title of 'Elite Assassin'. However, his passion for cartoons still remained, to the point where he drew pictures in his spare time while doing his duty. However, as if drawing occasionally was not enough to achieve his true goal, Jun jumped out of a helicopter on a stormy night and disguised himself as if he had been in an accident, and the NIS, who does not know this, believes that he is really dead.

15 years later, Jun started a family and became a cartoonist the way he wanted to, but his dream and reality were different. His serialized comics were full of malicious comments because they weren't fun, and he was scolded by the editor for being late due to a slump. As a result, his actual livelihood was being subsidized by working hard at the construction site as a side job. Slowly getting sick of this situation, he does things he shouldn't have done. He drew a cartoon about his life as an agent while drunk, and the cartoon became a huge hit with the number 1 view. In the eyes of others, it was a very happy moment to finally escape from obscurity, but to Jun, it was a big advertisement of a top-level national secret, so the situation started to burn.

As expected, the comic book, which was a huge hit, caused anger. Jun's difficult but peaceful daily life is put to a halt as NIS agents find out that he is alive and terrorists are also entangled.

Due to increasing electricity costs, Charlie reveals to Mac and Dennis that he has been using a gas generator to power Paddy's Pub. An argument over the cost of gasoline and the group's individual roles leads to Mac, the self-proclaimed "brains of the organization", proposing a plan to solve the gas crisis: purchase gasoline through a bank loan, store it in Paddy's basement, then sell it a year later at a higher price. The three are turned down by the bank, however, when they can't agree on who will seduce the female bank teller. They proceed to get their funding by stealing Dee's life savings from her sock drawer. They head to a gas station and began pumping gasoline into barrels, but are stopped by the gas station attendant. They then transport gas through Dennis's car and have Charlie siphon it out, but the strategy proves to be ineffective. An attempt to sell the gas back to the gas station fails, so they set up a stand next to the station. However, it comes to a halt when Mac suffers a burn due to Charlie accidentally spitting a fireball onto him in an attempt to attract customers. Mac is forced to have a towel duct-taped over his head to cover the injury, and Dennis takes the lead in the scheme.

Meanwhile, Frank and Dee discover that Bruce Mathis, Dennis and Dee's biological father, is giving part of Barbara Reynolds's money away to a Muslim community center. Furious at Bruce's action, Frank purchases a "rape van" to spy on Bruce at his apartment, thinking that he would find evidence that Bruce's donation was a deal with terrorists. Frank and Dee then break into the apartment and plant baby monitors and fertilizers. While the two were scouting outside of Bruce's apartment, Mac steals the van and crashes into a car that Dee previously hit. Charlie, Dennis, and Mac then use the van to store the gasoline and sell them from door-to-door. However, Charlie's character of a Texan oilman scares a householder and leads to her calling the police, causing the three to flee in response.

Back at the bar, Frank, thinking that Dee set him up, waterboards her with the men's room urinal. Mac, Charlie, and Dennis then enter, revealing that they stole the van. Mac then realizes that the paradigm of the group was off because Frank and Dee weren't included. The gang then decides to combine their schemes together: they will torture Bruce into confessing to being a terrorist collaborator, turn him to the authorities, and use the reward money to purchase gas. However, en route to the apartment, Charlie, playing his role as the "wild card" of the group, reveals he cut the van's brakes and jumps out. The remaining gang members panic and jump out as well. The free-wheeling van full of gasoline then crashes into the car the gang previously hit and destroys it. The car's owner, the occupant of the apartment thought to be Bruce's, runs out to witness the destruction of his car. Upon seeing the man, the gang realizes that they were onto the wrong person and run away from the scene.

Arielle lives in Florida with her mother Janet, who has a deadbeat boyfriend named Bobby. Arielle enjoys social media and has few followers. One night, she goes to a party where she gets into a fight and beats up a girl while everyone at the party films the fight and posts it on social media. Arielle immediately gains 147 new followers.

Dean Taylor is new to town and stays with his father. Arielle meets him while he is working on his car. They spend time together at a party, where Dean reveals he was in prison for armed robbery and assault, and that his parole requires him to be with his father since his mother is dead. His father is an abusive drunk. She tells him how badly she wants to get out of Florida and go to Hollywood to be famous.

One day, Arielle finds all her saved money missing. Right away, she bursts into Janet's room where she and Bobby are in bed. Arielle accuses Bobby of stealing her money and attacks Bobby, but Bobby pushes her and she hits her head against the wall. Arielle leaves after threatening to kill him. She goes to Dean's home and finds his father beating him. Arielle tries to intervene but again gets hit on her head after getting thrown to the ground. Dean fights his father who ends up falling down the stairs and dies after hitting his head. Arielle and Dean begin to leave town right away but realizing that they have no money, they decide to rob a gas station with Dean's gun. Arielle livestreams as Dean commits the robbery. Dean is unaware of being live streamed.

Arielle sees that her social media account has three thousand followers. Dean becomes angry when he learns that Arielle has been live streaming their crimes, but Arielle says she used IP blocker and did not show their faces. She says it will lead to fame and money. Still short on money, Dean suggests they rob a dispensary next. This time, Dean films as Arielle does the robbing.

With more crimes filmed, Arielle's account gains over three million followers. Eventually, the police identify them and Dean and Arielle see their faces on the news. Dean is angry about the social media, but Arielle is elated to be famous. On the road, they get pulled over, and Dean tells Arielle not to start anything. When the officer goes to check their IDs, Arielle exits the car and shoots the officer.

Arielle and Dean go into hiding for a while and this leads to Arielle losing her subscribers and followers. Dean and Arielle get into an argument where Dean tries to make her realize about how serious of a crime she committed whereas Arielle says that she did it for him but Dean disagrees as he thinks she did it for fame. Even though they have enough money and do not need anymore, Arielle goes off on her own to commit a robbery at a gas station and accidentally kills a customer who startled her. The clerk manages to grab a gun and shoots Arielle in the shoulder as she flees.

Dean is extremely upset that everyone now knows where they are. The police have found them and thus begins a car chase and a shootout. They realize that they left their money behind. Once they get away from the police, Dean removes the bullet from her shoulder. Arielle takes pictures of her wounds for her followers, making Dean angry again. Dean blames Arielle for the whole situation since her coming over led to his father's death. Arielle slaps him repeatedly and then kisses him. A woman, Elle, driving by sees Arielle and the broken down truck. She pulls over to help and Arielle pulls out her gun and says they need a place to stay for a night. Elle reveals she follows Arielle online and that she knew who they were before she pulled up. At Elle's place, Dean asks her why she follows Arielle. Elle explains that her life has not worked out and that people find them empowering. Dean tells her no one should want to be like them.

The next day, Elle drives them through a police checkpoint. Once they are through, they give Elle a bottle of water and take her car, directing her to walk back to the gas station they passed and to report her car stolen to get the insurance reimbursement. Elle wants to go with them, but Dean refuses. Arielle takes a picture with her and posts it, telling her lots of people are going to want to talk to her after that. Arielle and Dean drive off.

Later, they stop at the home of Kyle, Dean's contact. Kyle's crew plans to rob a bank but needs an extra gunmen. Arielle wants in, but Dean thinks it is a bad idea. He wants to leave and go to Mexico, but Arielle holds firm, wanting the money and the followers. Dean makes Arielle promise that if they do this job she will leave with him after.

During the robbery, even though Kyle insisted on no social media, Arielle streams it to her five million followers. On the other hand, Kyle becomes upset after not being able to find the money they expected and in anger shoots a bank worker. As they are about to leave, they find cops already outside surrounding the bank. Kyle realizes it is because Arielle streamed the bank robbery and (accidentally) the name of the bank. Kyle and his crew get into a shootout with Arielle and Dean where Kyle and Dean end up shooting each other dead. The police arrest Arielle and as they bring her out of the bank, she sees hundreds of fans and followers with signs cheering her, giving her fame that she always wanted.

The film follows the travels and events organized by Alain Ducasse, a well-known and successful restaurateur. In doing so, the movie tries to understand and unveil what motivates him in his "quests".

This film tells the story of a bus traveling to Sampar, a city known for its rich natural resources. The city is heavily guarded by a group of soldiers who are on standby against rebel militants who demand independence for their homeland. Each passenger on this bus has their own destination. At first they thought that this would be a trip to the conflicted area as usual, but without them knowing, there was an intruder with an important message that had to be conveyed to Sampar. This important message is said to be able to end the conflict. However, the presence of this intruder endangers all passengers as he is wanted by the two warring parties. The situation becomes increasingly tense when everyone has to fight for their lives. They also have to face other parties that do not want the conflict to end, namely the opportunists, the maintainers of conflict because they live off conflict. No one knows, who will die and who will stay alive.

Part 1

After Mac and Charlie fail to frame Mac's father Luther (Gregory Scott Cummins) for threatening them at his parole hearing, Luther is released on parole. Fearing that he will seek out vengeance on them, Mac and Charlie agree that the only way to avoid Luther's wrath is to fake their deaths. The two proceed to steal Dee's car and her purse and crash the car into a brick wall to stage their apparent suicide, although Mac is injured when he fails to jump out of the car before it hits the wall. After failing to blow up the car using a hand grenade and a pistol, the two decide that they went far enough and go into hiding on the rooftop of Paddy's Pub.

Meanwhile, a glory hole is discovered in the men's bathroom stalls at Paddy's. Dennis is intrigued by the hole and the experience of anonymous sex. Frank proceeds to take Dennis to an orgy, but he is left unimpressed and disgusted at the age and shape of the participants. Back at Paddy's, an eyehole is installed atop of the glory hole between the stalls. While Frank and Dennis are discussing potential scenarios while using the hole, Dee shows up and informs the two that Mac and Charlie are apparently dead. They play a suicide tape discovered at the scene but then proceed to argue over the demands made in Mac's will. As the three argue, Mac and Charlie listen from atop the roof.

Part 2

A memorial is held for Mac and Charlie at Paddy's, with only Mac and Charlie's mothers (Lynn Marie Stewart and Sandy Martin) and the rest of the gang attending, while Mac and Charlie watch through the air ducts. While Frank mourns, Dee believes that Mac and Charlie are still alive. Commuting on a bus after her car was destroyed, Dee sees Mac and Charlie on the streets and confronts them on Paddy's rooftop later that night. Mac reveals to her that his father has been released from prison and that she would have to fake her death to avoid Luther as well.

Meanwhile, Dennis is eager to move on from on Mac and finds a new roommate, Jan (Keir O'Donnell), a mysterious European. He promises Dennis extravagant European-style sex parties and brings two German women in underwear to party at the apartment. Mac and Charlie watch from the outside, with Mac becoming jealous of how quickly Dennis has moved on from him. The two later witness Frank coping with losing Charlie by using a mannequin lookalike.

Thousands of years ago from another universe arrives Apokoliptian warlord Darkseid and his Parademon army to conquer Earth using three devices called Mother Boxes. They are foiled by an alliance of the "Old Gods", Amazons, Atlanteans, humans, and a Green Lantern, leaving behind the Boxes, which the Amazons, Atlanteans, and humans each guard. In the present, the death of Superman triggers the Boxes' reactivation, attracting Steppenwolf, Darkseid's disgraced lieutenant. Steppenwolf aims to regain Darkseid's favor by gathering the boxes to form "The Unity", which would terraform Earth into a copy of their homeworld.

Steppenwolf reaches Themyscira through a portal and fights the Amazons to obtain their Mother Box. Diana Prince receives a warning from the Amazons, then learns about Darkseid's assault on Earth and Steppenwolf. She informs Bruce Wayne, as the two are seeking to form a team of metahumans he had discovered in order to build an alliance to save the world. Having previously failed to recruit Arthur Curry, Bruce locates Barry Allen, while Diana locates the cyborg Victor Stone. Barry joins while Victor refuses until his father, Silas, and other S.T.A.R. Labs employees are kidnapped by Parademons seeking the humans' Mother Box. Steppenwolf kidnaps and kills Atlantean guards watching over their Mother Box and takes it, with only Mera and a reluctant Arthur left to guard it.

Although the team rescues the kidnapped employees, the facility is flooded, trapping them until Aquaman helps them escape. Victor retrieves the last Mother Box, which he had hidden. He reveals that it was used to rebuild his body after a car accident, explaining that the Boxes can rearrange matter at the will of their users. The group realizes they could resurrect Superman using the box, although Steppenwolf will inevitably discover its presence. Meanwhile, Steppenwolf receives a vision of the Anti-Life Equation on Earth, a secret power sought by Darkseid to control all of existence, and informs him. The team exhumes Clark Kent's body and places it in the amniotic fluid of the genesis chamber in a Kryptonian ship. After Barry activates the Mother Box, an amnesiac Clark is resurrected, attacking the group after Victor's cybernetics targets him in self-defense. Right as he is about to kill Batman, Lois Lane arrives to calm him down. They travel to his family home in Smallville, where he regains his memories. Steppenwolf retrieves the last Mother Box, but Silas sacrifices himself to supercharge it with laser heat, allowing Victor to track it.

They fight their way through the Parademons, while Superman later arrives and subdues Steppenwolf, but Victor fails to prevent the Unity, thus destroying the planet. Barry enters the Speed Force before the shockwave reaches him, reversing time to give Victor the necessary charge that allows him and Superman to prevent the Unity. Wonder Woman decapitates Steppenwolf, sending his body to Darkseid on Apokolips through an opened portal. Darkseid vows to return to Earth to find the Anti-Life Equation.

When he gets back to his hotel, the landlord tells Gaudissart that he has been fooled, and that the wine barrels he bought from Margaritis do not exist. Gaudissart is angry about this, and then confronts Vernier and challenges him to a duel. The next morning Gaudissart and Vernier meet for their duel and both deliberately miss their shots.

His friend Jacques, who proposed the bet, chooses a wax museum as the "sinister location."

Pierre pays the employee or proprietor of the wax museum (described simply as "l'homme aux figures de cire," literally "the man with wax figures") to allow him to stay in the museum overnight. The man is reluctant, but agrees on the condition that Pierre not damage anything. He shows Pierre in, and leaves him there.

Grizz, a nomadic bear cub, meets fellow cub Panda for the first time along the train tracks. Stuck as a train rapidly approaches, they are saved by a polar bear cub and the three form a stack as they attempt to outrun it. Upon awakening from this nightmare, a now-adult Grizz drags his brothers Panda and Ice Bear and the three rush out to be the first in line for the opening of a Canadian poutine food truck on the San Francisco Bay Area, unwittingly wreaking havoc along their way which incites a barrage of complaints from its residents. Envious of the admiration the newly arrived celebrity koala Nom Nom receives from the public and the hate the Bears receive from them, the three devise a plan to record the "ultimate viral video" using outdated memes and force stream it into every screen in the city, which causes a massive blackout.

The Bears are summoned to the City Hall to explain themselves. Despite the public's demands for their accountability, police officer Murphy refuses to endorse severe punishment, until Wildlife Control Agent Trout takes over and convinces the assembly to detain the Bears and relocate them to a wildlife preserve. As the Bears' friends appeal for their release, Charlie the Bigfoot and his animal friends hijack a police vehicle and break the Bears out to the forest. With the bears now homeless and pursued, Grizz proposes for them to seek refuge in Canada, despite Panda's reluctance. Disguising the vehicle in hippie graffiti, they barely manage to slip out from Trout's blockade but crash the van in the process. They stumble upon the "Dramatic Cow", a famous talking cow who invites them to a party with various celebrity animals that mistake them for being internet famous. Despite their initial objections, the animals are persuaded by the Bears to spend the night with them, some of whom fix their van. Grizz, frequently haunted by the nightmare of the cubs' train encounter, where Agent Trout captures Panda and Ice Bear, awakes to find out that Trout has tracked them. The animals try to stall the agents as the Bears flee on the van.

As they reach the Canadian border, the Bears are refused entry by the guard for not carrying passports. Angry and frustrated, the Bears argue with each other just as Trout and his men arrive to capture them. Despite Murphy's plea, Panda and Ice Bear are locked in cages to be deported to China and the Arctic, respectively, while Grizz is sent to a preserve center with other captured non-speaking bears. Feeling distraught, upset, and helpless, Grizz is convinced by his younger self to escape by reminding him of the promise he made to his brothers after their initial meeting—that they will always be "bros for life". This empowers him to break free of his enclosure and release the other captive bears, who aid him in liberating Panda and Ice Bear from Trout.

The preserve's electrified fence ignites a forest fire, trapping all of them inside. Murphy arrives with a helicopter to save them but is prevented by the smoke and flames from reaching down. The brothers induce the other bears to form a tall stack to reach it up but are taken advantage of by Trout. Murphy, having had enough of Trout's cruelty to the bears, shoves a donut in Trout's mouth, handcuffs him to a rail in the helicopter, and lifts the stack up into safety. With their escape from the fire being broadcast by the news, the Bears are celebrated by the public as heroes, while Trout is arrested and taken into custody. Murphy ensures that the brothers will be safely returned home, taking all the other bears with them. Upon arriving back in the city, the Bears are jubilantly received by their friends and are warmly welcomed by the community, who now begin to acclimate themselves with the rest of the bears in various activities for life, ending the film and the series.

Taek-il, a rebel who only deviates from day to day. That day too, was caught by the police station for riding without a helmet with his best friend Sangpil, who bought a second-hand motorcycle by paying the school fees for the GED. Taek-il, who was slapped by his mother Jeong-hye who ran after receiving her call, left the house impulsively the next day and headed for Gunsan. He had nothing to do, so he stopped by a nearby Chinese restaurant to eat, but when he saw the short-haired chef Megaseok, he felt unusual energy.

Afterward, when he sees a job posting at a Chinese restaurant asking for a delivery man, he immediately enters the store and volunteers to write for him. As soon as he saw the option, the president noticed that he was a child who left home at once, and said that it would be difficult for him to run away for a longer period of time. After that, Taek-il lives with the president's house, and he gets close to mega-seok as well.

Meanwhile, Sang-pil, who lives with his grandmother with dementia, desperately needs a job and finds a job with the help of his acquaintance brother, Dong-hwa Kim. That job is loan business. At first, I expected that Dong-hwa would make a lot of money with just a little effort because the work was done so peacefully. However, when he went to a butcher's shop to collect money, he was beaten nice by the boss and became sick, and when he found out that among the customers who had borrowed money from the company, Taek-il's mother Jeong-hye changed the situation.

In addition, the toast shop that Jeong-hye opened while using her debt was ordered to be demolished because it was an illegal building. Taek-il, who learned of this after a while, rushed to the store, but was helpless by the tyranny of the loan sharks.

After their surprising success at RussFest, Pied Piper strikes a $100 million dollar deal with AT&T to build their decentralized internet on their platform. As the team celebrates, Monica (Amanda Crew) gives Richard (Thomas Middleditch) a framed screenshot of their text conversation as a gift. However, Richard discovers that one of the text messages he sent containing a punctuation error was auto-corrected, although messages between Monica and him were encrypted. Richard spends the night trying to find out how the correction was made and tells the team about it the next morning. The team realizes that PiperNet's AI compression abilities have become so advanced that it can bypass numerous advanced encryptions, potentially eradicating all privacy measures. Realizing the severity of its potential, Gilfoyle (Martin Starr) proposes that the only way to prevent PiperNet from abolishing privacy is to sabotage it at its launch. After initial opposition, Richard reluctantly agrees to sabotage PiperNet. But Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani) recuses himself from the effort, thinking that his pride would prevent the sabotage from going through.

On the day of the launch at Salesforce Tower, Gilfoyle sets up faulty code that will sabotage the launch through widespread disruption of satellite signals. But back at Pied Piper headquarters, staff member Gabe discovers the faulty code and reverts it. He notifies Dinesh, who is outside the launch event and is given the hard drive containing the faulty code by Gabe. Dinesh is forced to physically head to the top of the Tower through stairs and manages to upload the faulty code after a last-minute grant of access by Gilfoyle. The faulty code does not disrupt satellite signals but instead causes thousands of rats to emerge onto the streets of major cities across the country. Soon afterwards, Richard shuts down Pied Piper permanently in shame.

In a documentary produced 10 years after the PiperNet launch, the fates of the characters are shown: Richard has become a professor at Stanford University, where Big Head (Josh Brener) serves as President, Dinesh and Gilfoyle are running a large cybersecurity firm together, Monica is working for the NSA, Jared (Zach Woods) works at a nursing home, Russ Hanneman (Chris Diamantopoulos) has made his fortune back, Laurie Bream (Suzanne Cryer) is serving time in prison, and Gavin Belson (Matt Ross) is a bestselling romance novelist. Jian-Yang (Jimmy O. Yang) has also fully assumed the identity of Erlich and has faked his own death in order to hide with his fortune in a foreign country. The Pied Piper team reunites at the Hacker Hostel, now occupied by another family, and sits around the old dining table where they used to work to play a game of "always blue" together.

The episode ends with Richard attempting to show the documentary crew the hard drive containing the Pied Piper compression algorithm but fails to find it as the credits roll.

The last place the orange USB hard drive is seen is plugged into computer equipment at the very top of the Salesforce Tower.

One night, a female polar bear teaches her cub Umka how to build a den in the snow. When she puts him to sleep, he asks her to tell a tale about the fish. The tale is about a sad Fish-Sun who cannot escape from shark's teeth. After the tale, Umka asks if their Sun was eaten by a shark too, which mother denies, since the Sun is not a fish and swims above them. She puts him to sleep, telling him that when he'll wake up, the Sun will appear. She then sings him a lullaby to help him fall asleep.

The next morning, Umka notices a small camp of human reindeer herders, and when he asks about them, the mother explains that they're "bears who constantly walk on hind legs and can take off their skin". When Umka tries to walk on hind legs too, she tells him that they smell of smoke, sending him instead to catch a fish from an ice hole. When he tries to, he can't find any fish. Mother explains that it's because of his nose: while he's white, his nose is black, and that's what's blowing his cover. She advises him to cover it with his paw. Umka then wonders if the two-legged bears cover their noses too.

One day, Umka encounters a small Chukchi boy who has just fallen off a reindeer while riding. When he sniffs him, he finds out that he smells like milk instead of smoke. When he asks him about his absence of tail, the amused boy puts a snowball on Umka's snout for fun, before running off, throwing his cap into the air. This causes Umka to think that the boy has two heads.

Another day, as Umka runs after some reindeer, he meets the same boy again. After asking him about his "second head" and other missing bear features, they then decide to go to the sea. While Umka dives in, the boy stays on land, since the water is too cold for him. Suddenly, the mother calls for Umka, approaching them. To avoid trouble, Umka tells the boy to lie down in snow and cover his nose with his paw, although the boy crawls away right as mother arrives. When she senses the smell of smoke, Umka distracts her by pretending to spot a fish in a far ice hole, prompting mother to go and catch it. As Umka returns, he discovers that the boy has disappeared, leaving behind his cap. Umka takes the cap and runs to find his friend, only to discover people leaving along with the boy.

Umka, sad that his friend is gone, asks his mother to relocate somewhere else; she complies. As they set off on an ice floe, the mother sings the second part of the lullaby. Later that night, someplace else, the boy gazes at the stars and sees Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, with latter imagining as his friend Umka waving at him. The film ends as the boy calls out for Umka.
