War of the Sontarans

The Doctor, Dan, and Yaz are transported to Sevastopol during the Crimean War, where they all briefly meet Mary Seacole before Yaz and Dan are transported away through time. The Doctor is unable to enter her TARDIS to track and find them. Remaining in Sevastopol, the Doctor realizes the British opponents during the war are now the Sontarans, with all traces of China and Russia replaced with Sontar. Tricking a scout into granting parley with his general, the Doctor discovers that seconds prior to the Lupari shielding Earth from the Flux in the previous episode, the Sontarans took advantage of the Flux and rewrote human history to feed their species’ hunger for battle.

Yaz materializes in the Temple of Atropos on the planet Time, where she briefly encounters Joseph Williamson before befriending Vinder. They are both recruited as repairers of the temple’s mainframe. Swarm and Azure arrive to take control of the temple and use its power for themselves.

Dan is transported back to Liverpool, where he finds a world overtaken by the Sontarans. Saved from a Sontaran unit by his parents, he learns a three-minute blackout caused by the Lupari shield allowed the Sontaran fleet to land first at the Liverpool docks, where they established a base of operations. Dan sneaks onto one of the Sontaran ships and contacts the Doctor who tasks him with ending the Sontaran offensive in 2021.

Dan is discovered by the Sontarans but is saved by Karvanista. The pair destroy the primary fleet by ramming their captured vessel into the shipyard and evacuating at the last moment, resetting the timeline. Poisoning the supply system of the Sontarans in Crimea, the Doctor cripples their offensive, forcing them to retreat, but the British general Logan bombs their vessels as revenge for massacring his troops. The Doctor regains access to the TARDIS to collect Dan and find Yaz.

The TARDIS malfunctions and forces the Doctor and Dan into the temple, through which all temporal energy must pass. The death of the Mouri gatekeepers and ruin of the temple has resulted in the Flux phenomena, and now seeking to control time for himself, Swarm has imprisoned Yaz and Vinder as replacement bodies for the Mouri. Knowing the power unleashed will kill Yaz, the Doctor begs Swarm not to activate the temple, but he ignores her and takes control.

Poppy Playtime

Chapter 1 – A Tight Squeeze

The player receives a package that contains a VHS tape, which shows a commercial for the titular doll Poppy Playtime and tours of the factory before abruptly cutting to spliced-in footage of graffiti of a poppy, and a letter from the missing staff, requesting them to "find the flower". They then enter the abandoned toy factory and, after solving the code to a security door, acquire the GrabPack, which they use to unlock the door to the lobby. After entering the lobby, the player is introduced to Huggy Wuggy, who is on display in the center of the room. While trying to unlock one door in the lobby, the power suddenly cuts, forcing them to restore power in the power room.

After heading back to the lobby, they discover that Huggy has disappeared from his display. The player then restores power to a control panel in order to control an overhead crane and retrieve the right hand of the GrabPack, which they use to unlock a hatch to a conveyor belt that leads to the "Make-a-Friend" section of the factory, where they restore power to the machinery and manufacture a toy. They then place the toy in a scanner and open a door to a hallway which, after the player enters, Huggy suddenly appears from and chases the player through the vents. After reaching a dead-end, the player pulls down a box and breaks part of the conveyor belt, causing Huggy to fall to the bottom of the factory. They then head to the aforementioned graffiti and open a door to a hallway, leading to a room where they find Poppy in a case which the player opens, freeing Poppy.

Chapter 2 – Fly in a Web

After freeing Poppy from her case, the player explores the back halls of the factory, eventually finding the office of Elliot Ludwig, Playtime's founder. After entering the vents in the office, they encounter Poppy, who thanks them for freeing her and offers to help them escape the factory by giving them a code to activate the factory's train. However, she is grabbed and pulled deeper into the factory. As they approach the Game Station where the train is located, the player encounters Mommy Long Legs, who holds Poppy hostage and takes the red hand from the player's GrabPack. She challenges the player to win the three games in the Game Station, and in return will give the player the code for the train, threatening to kill them if they disobey the rules. Making their way through the factory, the player crafts the green hand for the GrabPack and then proceeds through the three games.

The player is able to obtain two parts of the code before escaping during the third game, fleeing into the tunnels beneath the factory. An enraged Mommy accuses them of cheating and pursues them through the tunnels and back up into the factory until she becomes caught in the teeth of an industrial grinder, killing her. A needle-fingered hand rises to take her broken body away. The player finds Poppy trapped in a spider web with the third part of the code. After freeing her, the player boards the train to escape. However, Poppy diverts the train, saying that she could not let the player leave yet due to the events that had occurred inside the factory, claiming that she knows the player can handle whatever comes next. The train runs out of control and derails near a sign pointing to "Playcare".

Termination Shock (novel)

The book is about a solar geoengineering project conceived by a Texas oil-industry billionaire named T.R. Schmidt. Schmidt builds a launcher on the Texas-Mexico border to fire sulfur into the air, a form of stratospheric aerosol injection intended to cool the planet by reflecting sunlight into space. This technique replicates the effects of volcanic eruptions that inject sulfates into the atmosphere and produce global cooling, such as the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption. Schmidt's plan has uneven effects, helping low-lying areas such as the Netherlands, Venice, and the Maldives, but threatening the Punjab with drought.

The main characters are Frederika Mathilde Louisa Saskia, the Queen of the Netherlands, and granddaughter of Queen Beatrix; Rufus Grant, a part-Comanche exterminator of feral hogs; and Deep "Laks" Singh, a Punjab-Canadian Sikh. Saskia and Grant become entangled in Schmidt's plan, while Singh travels to the Line of Actual Control on the China-India border, where Chinese and Indian volunteers fight each other using non-lethal martial arts. Singh becomes a world-famous hero after several dramatic and well-promoted victories, but is felled by Chinese directed-energy weapons.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government observes Schmidt's geoengineering efforts, and engages in advanced psychological warfare, cyberwarfare, and deadly tsunami bombs to shift European governments towards a pro-geoengineering stance. This also results in Saskia abdicating her throne for her daughter, after which she joins the growing consortium of smaller pro-geoengineering nations as the "Queen of the Netherworld."

In the climax of the book, Singh is sent with a team of drones on a covert mission by India, whose monsoons were delayed by Schmidt's geoengineering campaign, to destroy the Texas launcher. He is thwarted by Rufus, who takes action largely to protect Saskia, who is hiding in the launcher's subterranean shaft.

The book's title refers to the idea that once a solar geoengineering scheme begins, abruptly stopping it would result in rapid warming, called a termination shock.

Amityville Exorcism

A general contractor named Charles Humes is sentenced to death after killing his wife and two daughters with a hammer in Amityville, New York. The day before his execution, Charles meets with Father Benna. Charles confides in Benna that he committed the familicide due to being possessed by demons that he claims reside within lumber that he took from 112 Ocean Avenue, a local house that was haunted until an exorcism was performed on it by Benna's brother, Father Jonas. Jonas died during the exorcism, and his death still haunts Benna. Charles added the tainted wood to his own home, as well as various other properties, which he gives a list of to Benna. One of the houses that Charles worked on is inhabited by Amy Dukane and her abusive alcoholic father, Jeremy. Jeremy is widowed, Amy's mother, Bonnie, having died in a drunk driving accident that was caused by Jeremy.

Amy and Benna both start being terrorized by a demon, which disembowels a burglar before infusing Amy with an amalgamation of lesser demons called Legion. While Amy is out for a walk in the woods, where she and the demon kill a photographer, Jeremy is visited by Benna. Jeremy is skeptical of Benna's claim that his house is haunted, until Amy torments him from afar with visions of Bonnie. Amy murders her boyfriend, Robby, while the house is being blessed by Benna. When Amy returns, she is weakened by the blessing, and tied to her bed by Benna and Jeremy. Amy assumes a hideous visage, plays mind games with Jeremy, and animates dolls that she uses to attack Benna. Benna fends off the toys, and begins performing an exorcism on Amy. Amy breaks free of her restraints, forces Jeremy out of the room, and summons the demon that had implanted her with Legion. The demon taunts Benna, who responds by drawing a cross on it with blood from a wound that he had been given by Amy. The bloody cross banishes the demon and Legion back to Hell, freeing Amy.

Amy and Jeremy reconcile, while Benna heads out to deal with all of the other properties that had 112 Ocean Avenue's cursed wood added to them by Charles.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters

The Grey Knights are a secret order of the Imperium of Man. They are a chapter of Adeptus Astartes (Space Marines) composed of psychics created by the Emperor of Mankind and Malcador the Sigilite for the purpose of combating the daemonic forces of chaos.

In the game's prologue, Captain Agravain of the Grey Knight Strike Force, Xiphos, battles on the fallen planet of Gaheris against a Khornate warhost, led by the Bloodthirster, Ere'khul. Agravain manages to banish Ere'khul, but he and most of his squad die in the process. Ectar, a Grey Knight Purifier aboard the strike cruiser, the ''Baleful Edict'' as part of punishment detail for reckless actions in a previous mission appoints one of the survivors of the campaign as the strike force's new commander. Ectar and the Adeptus Mechanicus Dominus, Lunete, travel to their home base of Titan (one of Saturn's moons) for debriefing and repairs when they are intercepted by Inquisitor Vakir of the Ordo Malleus. Coming aboard their ship, the inquisitor requests their service to aid in her investigation of a sector-wide plague known as ''"The Bloom"''.

Their investigations lead them to an Aeldari Craftworld that has long been lost to the corrupting influence of Nurgle, the Chaos God of Disease and Decay. Vakir accompanies the squad of Grey Knight's to the Craftworld's infinity circuit chamber, and a dormant Avatar of Khaine explains to her that The Bloom is being spread by five Champions of Nurgle known as the ''"Reapers"''. The Reapers intend to spread the Bloom until the entire sector is infected, and thus allowing a being known as the ''"Morbus"'' to be summoned. As Vakir tries to obtain a sample of a bloom seed, she and the squad are attacked by Death Guard traitor astartes, led by a Daemon-Prince of Nurgle called Kadex Ilkarion (said Daemon-Prince had once been encountered by Vakir and was successfully banished many years ago).

During the battle, the Supreme Grandmaster of the Grey Knights, Kaldor Draigo, appears and manages to fend off the Death Guard whilst Vakir and the squad escape to their ship. Vakir proposes to hunt down the five reapers and trap their essences in a book known as the Liber Toxicus and save the sector. After dealing with three of the five reapers, Kadex Ilkarion attacks their ship and manages to destroy the Liber Toxicus before being captured. Vakir scries Kadex's mind for a way to locate the remaining Reapers and stop the bloom, but discovers to her horror that defeating the Reapers is not enough. The Bloom's roots are connected to the Garden of Nurgle, located within the Realm of Chaos itself. Kadex gloats that the bloom cannot be stopped, but when he mentions Kaldor Draigo, Vakir believes that Draigo and his sword, forged by the Emperor himself, can destroy the roots and finally put an end to the Bloom.

Kaldor Draigo has been cursed to wander the Realm of Chaos for centuries, and can only return to real-space for a short period of time before returning to the Warp. The Baleful Edict travels to a planet with a high level of warp energies, and Vakir manages to summon Draigo to inform him of their plans. As Draigo heads to the Garden of Nurgle, Vakir once again enters Kadex's mind and discovers that Kadex had tricked them into luring Draigo into a trap. Kadex's master, the Daemon-Primarch of the Death Guard, Mortarion, intends to ambush Draigo and take his vengeance upon him for the events that happened on the planet of Kornovin (where Draigo had carved the name of his slain master on Mortarion's heart before banishing him back to the Warp). It is revealed Mortarion is the Morbus, and he intends to use the sector as a base to launch an assault on the Grey Knights.

Enraged by this deception, Ectar almost slays Vakir before he is stopped by Lunete. Vakir claims that they can still save Draigo from Mortarion's trap by going to the Garden of Nurgle itself. Vakir proposes to infuse Kadex with a psyhic beacon before slaying the Daemon-Prince, and following his returning spirit to the Garden. Before Vakir finishes her spell, she reveals that she has sacrificed her soul to Kadex so that she can act as the beacon. Once the spell is finished, Kadex's soul returns to his master, with the Grey Knights following suit.

The Grey Knights follow Kadex's soul to the Garden and manage to reinforce Draigo. As the Grey Knights battle Mortarion and his minions, Draigo cuts all five of the Bloom's roots. Once the final root has been severed, Mortarion flees. The Baleful Edict returns to real-space whilst the Grey Knights who fought Mortarion remain in the warp to accompany their Supreme Grandmaster. Ectar and Lunete return to Titan, where Ectar, impressed by Vakir's loyalty and bravery, recommends she has a memorial made for her.

After the End-Credits, a skull that contains Kadex's soul is shown. Kadex has managed to capture Vakir's soul, and declares that he will use her to further his future plans.

South Park: Post Covid

Forty years into the future, the COVID-19 pandemic is waning. Stan Marsh has moved away from South Park, Colorado. He is employed as an online whiskey consultant and lives with a sentient, nagging Amazon Alexa. Stan receives a call from Kyle Broflovski, now the guidance counselor at South Park Elementary, who informs him that Kenny McCormick has died.

Kenny, who worked as a scientist, had been researching the origins of COVID-19 and the possibility of a cure, and revealed that in the event of his death, his closest friends would know where to find his missing data by retracing their steps. Stan returns to South Park to pay his respects to Kenny; he is reluctant to reconnect with Kyle and rebuffs his suggestion that they search for Kenny's missing data. They attend Kenny's wake and reunite with several of their former classmates. Eric Cartman has converted to Judaism, become a rabbi, and is raising a family, to Kyle's skeptical annoyance. Also in attendance are Tweek Tweak and his partner Craig Tucker; Wendy Testaburger and her husband, Darwin; Jimmy Valmer, who has become a late-night talk show host; Token Black, now a law enforcement officer; and Clyde Donovan. Stan leaves the wake early and watches a report on Kenny, where he notices "Tegridy Weed" in Kenny's notes.

At Kenny's funeral, a furious Stan believes that Kyle set him up to coerce him to visit his father, Randy. As Stan departs, a scientist confirms Kenny's cause of death to be a new COVID-19 variant, causing widespread panic. Military forces quarantine South Park as Stan attempts to leave, forcing him to take shelter at South Park Elementary. With the shelter at full capacity, a reluctant Kyle allows Cartman and his family to stay with him.

Stan eventually relents and visits Randy. Following the pandemic, Randy's wife, Sharon, filed for divorce; however, Randy refused to relinquish his stake in Tegridy Farms, resulting in constant arguing. Frustrated, Stan burned down the farm, unaware that his sister, Shelly, was inside the barn. Distraught over Shelly's death, Sharon committed suicide, and Stan and Randy became estranged from each other. They escape the nursing home to what is left of Tegridy Farms, where Randy admits his responsibility for the pandemic.

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2021 film)

Following the end of his marriage, documentary filmmaker Dean moves into an Airbnb and discovers Marcel, a one-inch-tall talking shell living in the home with his grandmother, Nanna Connie, and Alan, his pet ball of lint. Inspired by Marcel's whimsicality, resourcefulness, and fascination with the world, Dean begins filming Marcel's daily activities, most of which consist of gathering resources from the backyard in order to support himself and Connie, who tends to her garden and is beginning to show signs of dementia. Marcel and Connie bond over their mutual love of ''60 Minutes'' and Lesley Stahl. Dean uploads his first video about Marcel to YouTube, where it quickly becomes a cultural phenomenon. Marcel is both flattered and overwhelmed with his newfound popularity, lamenting that his family is not around to celebrate it with him.

Marcel explains to Dean that there used to be an entire community of shells on the property, including Marcel's mother, father, brother, and aunt. The shells would take shelter in a sock drawer when the house's previous owners, Mark and Larissa, started knocking objects over while fighting. After one fight, Mark accidentally packs the shells into his suitcase while moving out, leaving Marcel and Connie as the only ones left on the property. Dean helps Marcel produce a livestream on the internet asking for help in locating his family. The livestream gains a substantial amount of viewers, but after Marcel shares his location with viewers, the house becomes a popular area for influencers. Marcel becomes dismayed after realizing most of the people who saw his videos are fans, desperate to be associated with him but largely uninterested in helping him.

The constant attention to the house quickly begins to bother Marcel, who is worried about Connie's deteriorating health. Marcel convinces Dean to drive him around Los Angeles in search of Mark's car, but is overwhelmed to discover how large and vast the world outside his house really is. Realizing that the world is too big to likely discover the car on his own, a discouraged Marcel returns home to find Connie has fallen off the top of a washing machine and cracked her shell. Marcel tends to her wounds and grows more protective of Connie.

''60 Minutes'' reaches out to Marcel in the hopes of doing a cover story. Despite Dean's encouragement, Marcel is reluctant to accept the offer, concerned with what the large production crew and more attention to the house would do to Connie's health. Marcel tells Dean he will not accept the interview until Connie is fully recovered. Dean confides this information to a fast-deteriorating Connie. Wanting Marcel to live a meaningful life of his own, Connie pretends to show signs of improvement around Marcel while encouraging him to accept the interview. Despite strong reservations, Marcel eventually agrees to the interview, believing it may help him find his family.

Connie's health continues to worsen as the day of the interview approaches. Connie and Marcel watch as the ''60 Minutes'' crew sets up in the living room and are starstruck upon seeing Lesley Stahl in person. Marcel and Dean both participate in the interview. Upon its completion, Marcel and Dean struggle to find Connie before realizing she died while their segment was being filmed. Marcel buries Connie in her garden and grieves her. Dean signs a lease for a new apartment.

''60 Minutes'' calls Dean requesting additional filming after making new discoveries regarding the whereabouts of Larissa. The segment airs, showing that they were able to locate Larissa in Guatemala. Larissa then brings the ''60 Minutes'' crew to Mark's house, where she and Mark get into an argument. Marcel urges Dean and the crew to check in Mark's sock drawer, where the entire shell community is discovered. They reunite in the Airbnb with Marcel, who is able to give Connie a proper funeral. Dean moves into his new apartment and begins dating again. Reunited with his family, Marcel confides to Dean that he often finds himself going to the Laundry Room window alone, and feeling the wind blow through his shell. Marcel shows Dean the sound it produces, remarking on its beauty as he stares out the window.

After Homer tricks them into a fight, a pot on the stove catches fire and spreads, causing the ceiling under the bathroom to collapse and a bathtub crushes Seamus and Collette. Marge saves Homer from the burning house, while Ned, still believing that Homer is being held hostage, breaks into Barb's orphanage to steal the money, only to find the key to the safe is on Barb's neck, and he seduces her to get it. Ned drives away with the money and passes by an escaped Homer, which causes Ned to crash his car which catches on fire. Homer goes to save Ned, but after seeing the money attempts to save it first, and inadvertently pulls Ned out of the car with it.

Aloners

Jina is the top employee at a call centre operating on behalf of a bank's credit card division and holds a tight workplace relationship with her boss – but despite her confident character, her mental health has been taking a toll, leading her to struggle interacting with others: besides her father's nonchalant response to her mother's passing, Jina's also recently had to formally renounce her inheritance, in a meeting presided by a lawyer who informed them that she changed her will just two years prior. Spending most of her days withdrawn from society, Jina watches TV dramas in her apartment and mukbang videos during commutes or while eating out alone.

One day, coming home from work, Jina notices a woman pacing in front of her apartment, talking to police officers. After inquiring as to why she's distressed, the woman scolds her for not noticing that a recent loud noise Jina heard some days prior was the sound of her neighbour getting crushed to death by a pile of adult magazines. This confuses Jina, as she recalls him showing her a trick with a matchstick and a cigarette outside of his apartment shortly after he supposedly died. In the evening she eventually reads an illustrated article about his deadly misadventure on her phone.

The following Monday Jina's boss, on orders from the human resources department of the company, asks her to train a new employee, who happens to be a young girl called Sujin. Despite a higher pay, Jina accepts reluctantly, both her and the boss knowing she's not a perfect fit for the task and that her indisposition to normal company affairs is lost performance.

Sujin's training is indeed not without problems, as she's clumsy and overly dependant on Jina. She ends her first morning's shift while falling asleep and does not seem to develop a mindset apt to the workplace, struggling to hold conversations on the phone or answering to clients in an improper way.

An irritated Jina starts avoiding her even more often than before after each shift, and as a result Sujin stops coming into work; Jina's boss is open to the possibility of her returning, but comments that any new development wouldn't probably change the fact that she is not going to be hired, being unable to pass her initial training. Jina eventually tosses Sujin's belongings in an office bin and disposes of her chair and headset.

In the meantime, Jina keeps an eye on her father through a wireless home camera she set up in her parents' house. She sees him inviting his new church's members (which could be from an actual Korean Protestant church, a Presbyterian one, or a cult after his testament money posing as such) to eat in his company, him standing by himself in the bathroom where his wife died, or trying out dance steps in the living room. Jina also meets Seong-hun, a man with a broken leg who's planning to move into her late neighbour's apartment with his family after the death caused the owner of the flat – which happens to be the woman who previously berated Jina for being too selfish – to lower the rent's asking price .

Upon returning to work for the week, Jina is more emotional than usual and starts showing the same signs of stress that Sujin experienced. One of the regular callers to her job, who requests all of her monthly spendings to be read to her, raises her voice on the phone and threatens to file a report to the company, asking for Jina's name. Breaking down, Jina briefly zones out before deciding to leave the building.

On a corner on the way to her house, Jina calls her father, screaming at him and demanding he apologizes to her and her mother. This causes him to abruptly hang up and temporarily block Jina's number. Feeling defeated, she crouches by a street light until the evening before going back to her apartment, as her new neighbour is finalising the move in the vacant apartment. A possible problem with the cabling some of the moving company employees could have caused during the move interferes with Jina's TV's signal, much to her annoyance and prompting her to call Seong-hun to ask him to fix the problem when he can.

The following day, Jina decides to wind down. She asks her boss for a leave of absence and calls Sujin, apologising for her cold behaviour as a superior at her job, making her cry. That evening she sees some of Seong-hun's family members and relatives coming inside the newly furnished apartment. Seong-hun, who is apparently also Christian, holds a vigil offering home-made food and wine to the previous tenant's spirit. He later shows Jina that her old neighbour's smoke trick was true. After she goes back to her apartment, her TV's signal is now stable – fixed either by the technicians Seong-hun said he would call or, more supernaturally, by his prayer.

The film ends with a tracking shot of Jina on the bus, possibly implying she may be going back work.

Tiger Cage 3

Suki Cheung is a rising financial advisor who often accompanies her boss Mr. Wong to dinner meetings. Her boyfriend James and his best friend John, a CCB officer, place a wire in her purse to find out if she is having an affair. Through the wire the two friends hear Mr. Wong and Mr. Lee bargaining over kickbacks for her boss creating fake accounts to enable Mr. Lee to obtain large loans as well as discussing plans to commit insider trading by purchasing stock in United Corporation before it is purchased by their associate Mr. Cheng. After he takes her home, Mr. Lee attempts to convince Suki to leave her job with Mr. Wong and join him instead but she tells him she will talk it over with Mr. Wong first.

Suki finds the wire and agrees to help James and John investigate Mr. Wong. Meanwhile, Mr. Cheng is thrown into traffic and killed while John buys 100,000 shares of United Corporation stock. The next day in his office Mr. Wong asks Suki to flee with him to escape Mr. Lee. Just then James and John arrest him and seize his files as evidence but Mr. Lee's thugs surprise them, killing Mr. Wong and taking the evidence. John chases them and kills them to retrieve the evidence, including evidence that Mr. Lee was being blackmailed. The value of John's stock falls due to misinformation leaked by Mr. Cheng.

Thugs kidnap Suki and take her to Mr. Lee's boat. Mr. Lee tells James that he has transferred 10 million dollars to his account to make it seem as though James and John were the ones blackmailing him. James chases after them on a small motorboat that they shoot until it explodes, badly burning his face. James is found floating in the water and rescued by fishermen, remaining with them rather than letting anyone know that he is still alive. Mr. Lee's thugs attack the CCB, shooting John and taking the evidence. John awakens in the hospital and is immediately fired by Inspector Chan under suspicion of using information from Mr. Wong's diary to blackmail Mr. Lee.

Suki becomes Mr. Lee's lover and helps him with his schemes. John confronts her, blaming her for James's disappearance. Mr. Lee's thugs arrive and beat John while Suki escapes. Mr. Lee attempts to sign a contract with Sir Liu, who is reluctant due to concerns about Mr. Lee's activities. Mr. Lee tells Suki to seduce Sir Liu and convince him to sign the contract. Suki seduces Sir Liu but double-crosses Mr. Lee and devises a plan with Sir Liu to earn them both money instead. James overhears but Mr. Lee's thugs attack him before John helps him escape.

James is angered by John's claim that Suki is assisting Mr. Lee in his crimes, causing the friends to fall out and John to leave. Mr. Lee's thugs attack and kill White Head the fisherman and Inspector Chan and harpoon James, leaving him for dead. Suki finds James and rescues him. Meanwhile, Mr. Lee becomes tired of being without Suki and instead forces her young secretary to sleep with him. Suki moves ahead with her plan with Sir Liu as John listens in on them using a wire. Suki convinces Mr. Lee that his plan is moving ahead, then lures one of his thugs into a trap where he is killed by James with the help of White Head's surviving fisherman friend.

John confronts Suki and threatens to give Mr. Lee the tape he made of her conspiring with Sir Liu against Mr. Lee. Suki admits that she framed James for the blackmail plot before destroying the tape and kicking John out a window, claiming to James that John had tried to rape her. Sir Liu and Mr. Lee sign the contract just before Mr. Lee is sent the tape by John. Sir Liu runs off with the contract and abandons Suki, who is chased by Mr. Lee and his thugs. Mr. Lee shoots at Suki but James jumps in front of her and is fatally wounded as he also shoots and kills Mr. Lee. Suki tearfully tells John that she loved him too.

In 1989, reformers Master Tan Szu-tung and his sidekick Nine Catties are journeying through northeast China to Peking in an attempt to convince the Emperor to enact sweeping reforms when they are caught up in a battle between bandits and Imperial guardsmen led by an ambitious captain named Yuan Shi-kai. They are aided by a powerful blacksmith bearing a Black Flag tattoo, whom they follow and learn is Wang Wu. With their encouragement, Wang Wu opens a martial arts school in the town. Yuan Shi-kai gives Wang Wu a broadsword as a gift.

Wang Wu assists a noblewoman when she is having trouble with her boat and in return she gives him a red umbrella as a gift when they arrive at Lord Yee's palace. There, Wang Wu participates in a martial arts tournament held by Lord Yee, defeating Master Po Ting's son and then Master Po Ting himself.

Chung Sang, still alive, witnesses this from the roof of a building. The film ends with the noblewoman leaving a red umbrella at Wang Wu's grave.


The Occupation of the American Mind

''The Occupation of the American Mind'' sought to show how Israeli attacks on Palestinians provoked widespread protests around the world, while the United States remained steadfast in its support for Israel despite the crimes committed.

The documentary begins with screening the 2014 war in Gaza in which Israel dropped nearly 20,000 tons of explosives on Gaza in 51 days, killing more than 2,000 Palestinians, injuring tens of thousands, the vast majority civilians. According to the ''Washington Report'', the film continues to show that after a public reaction to the 1982 attack on Lebanon, Israel commissioned Frank Luntz, an American public relations adviser who had helped influence Republican campaigns, "to come up with a strategy to sell Israeli military actions to the Americans who bankroll it." This report further argues that Luntz created a "Global Language Dictionary that is still used today to frame the Israeli narrative." He advised Israeli supporters to "always portray Israeli military action as self-defense. Speakers should focus on terror, not territory." According to this report, Luntz realized that "Israel couldn’t make heart-rending photos from Lebanon and Gaza go away, but it could saturate the media with talking points to make Americans believe that Palestinians deserved whatever Israel hit them with." According to the experts interviewed in the documentary, any criticism of Israel is labeled antisemitic, and only self-hating Jews do not approve of apartheid and the occupation of Palestinian land. The report further states: "When a reporter, like Ayman Mohyeldin from NBC, shows empathy for children slaughtered playing ball on the beach, supporters are asked to demand that he is removed from Gaza. When Bob Simon or Mike Wallace dare to criticize Israel on ''60 Minutes'' they are described as self-hating Jews."

A CNN / ORC poll conducted in 2014 found that 40 percent of Americans believed that Israel was using excessive force against the people of Gaza. Sut Jhally who was interviewed in the film, says;What we've seen is another kind of occupation – an occupation of American media and the American mind by a pro-Israel narrative that's deflected attention away from what virtually everyone recognizes as the best way to resolve this conflict: end the occupation and the settlements so that Palestinians can finally have a state of their own.


Voices (1995 film)

Philip Heseltine (Jeremy Northam) is a music critic in 1930s London. Due to his scathing and often vicious reviews, Heseltine earns himself the nickname: "The Grim Reaper". Focusing almost deliberate attention at British composer Peter Warlock, Heseltine continuously accuses him of plagiarism; which begins to draw the attention and concern from upper management. One evening, while reviewing a cabaret in a local nightclub, Heseltine is drawn to an American singer by the name of Lily Buxton (Tushka Bergen). A relationship ensues. While the two are visiting Heseltine's mother in the country, Buxton is awoken one evening by the sound of someone playing the piano. When she questions Mrs. Heseltine the next morning, Mrs. Heseltine says that she does not play and Philip has not played since he was small. Upon returning to London, Philip informs Lily that he is going out of town for a few days. When they arrive back at Heseltine's flat, there is a note on the door. They discover that the gas has been left on inside, killing all the pet cats. Philip immediately says that Warlock must have done it. Lily reads the note and questions Philip as to how Warlock could have known what he said about him at a party. Upon suspicion, she seeks out Philip's friend Gerald Duffy at his houseboat. He is not home so she enters, looks around, and finds a manuscript on the piano inscribed by Peter Warlock with an address. She takes a cab to the address. Looking through a window she sees a man playing the piano. Lily goes to the front door and knocks. The man answers, but does not reveal himself. Thinking he is Warlock, Lily explains that she heard his music at a concert a few weeks prior and thought it was wonderful. The man welcomes her in, but once in the light, Lily is shocked to see that it is Philip. Enraged, she demands to know what is going on. In a panic, Philip (Warlock), offers her a cup of tea; but when he goes to the kitchen, Lily escapes. Returning to Gerald's home, she confronts him by saying that she knows who Warlock is. Gerald tells her that she should just let things be as they are and that his music is getting better on account of his illness. In an attempt to get help for Philip, Lily goes to see Mrs. Heseltine, who informs her that she will not help in seeking treatment for Philip. Paranoid, she believes that Lily wants Philip all to herself. The next day, Philip demands to know why Lily went to see his mother. She tells him she wants only the best for him. At work, Heseltine's boss informs him that Warlock has brought suit against the paper for libel. He instructs Heseltine that he is to temper his criticism at the next Warlock concert. At the concert, Heseltine has a nervous breakdown and starts shouting from the audience. The orchestra stops playing and Heseltine continues to berate the music while ushers escort him out. Hearing about the incident, Lily finds Philip back at his flat distraught. They argue and he accidentally pushes her down the stairs, knocking her unconscious. He gently picks her up and places her outside the front door on the stoop. Going back inside, he turns on the gas and begins to type at his desk. Upon regaining consciousness, Lily rushes upstairs to find Philip dead. She opens the window and reads what he has typed. It is the beginning of the only positive review of a Peter Warlock performance.

However, the latter dismisses her warnings and sends her and her baby dragon assistant Spike to Ponyville to supervise the preparations for the celebration and make some friends, which Twilight couldn't care less about. As a result, Twilight reluctantly meets five ponies in charge of the preparations: Applejack, a diligent earth pony who works on her family's apple farm; Rainbow Dash, a tomboyish pegasus who helps control the weather; Rarity, a glamorous unicorn who designs fashion; Fluttershy, a shy pegasus who communicates with animals; and Pinkie Pie, a hyperactive earth pony who loves throwing parties.

Locusts (2005 television film)

At a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) lab at the Virginia Institute of Agriculture (VIA), Gina (Amanda Baker), accompanied by her boyfriend Willy (Drew Seeley), enter one of the labs containing a swarm of Australian plague locusts in order to feed them. The locusts are contained in an independent glass room, sealed off from the lab by an inner and outer door. Willy refuses to go into the locusts, so Gina does it herself, carrying a ficus tree as food, telling Willy to seal the outer door behind her. Willy asks her if she will put on the protective suit provided but she laughs, stating they are "grasshoppers, not tarantulas". Gina unlocks the inner door using the keypad and enters the glass room carrying the ficus tree, without the protective suit. Almost straight away, the locusts begin to swarm upon her, rather than the tree. Gina escapes with the help of Willy, both shaken by what they have witnessed.

In Georgetown, Washington D.C., Maddy Rierdon (Lucy Lawless) and her boyfriend Dan Dryer (Dylan Neal) are having a romantic morning together, but it is interrupted by Maddy's phone ringing. Maddy answers to discover it is her assistant, Vivian (Esperanza Catubig), who is ringing, telling her that a lab at the VIA has been red flagged by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). When Vivian tries to investigate using her security contacts, she finds the information is classified, so Maddy requests to meet her outside the VIA in 15 minutes, much to the irritation of Dan, who has taken time from work to spend time with Maddy, who promises they will talk when she returns shortly. Maddy meets with Vivian outside, and discovers the lab in question is being overseen by Dr. Peter Axelrod (John Heard), a former professor to Maddy; she goes inside to meet him. It is revealed Maddy is now Peter's boss at the USDA.

Peter takes her to Lab C-12, the same lab Gina and Willy fled from the night before. Peter goes into the glass room containing the locusts, and extracts a single insect for himself and Maddy to take a look at, instructing her to put on a gas mask at the same time. Peter puts the insect into a sealed cage, and squirts it with DDT, a pesticide. The insect is only briefly immobilised by the DDT but recovers in mere seconds to continue flying round the cage, shocking Maddy. Peter reveals that they are ''his'' creation. They are not just Australian plague locusts, but a hybrid, crossed with the desert locust. Peter further reveals they are resistant to ''all'' known pesticides, not just DDT, that they reproduce ten times faster than normal locusts and they live longer. Maddy, horrified, proclaims it a bioweapon and orders the locusts exterminated, reluctantly firing Peter. Scientists with protective suits and flame throwers exterminate all the locusts, save for a handful, which one of the scientists puts into a tube labelled "biohazard". Whilst the exterminator clears up, he accidentally drops the jar in the sink, causing several of them to escape down the drain. The exterminator flees before his mistake can be discovered, but as he does so, the escaped locusts can be seen flying away from the building. Maddy returns to Dan several hours later than she said, but Dan has had enough, packing her a suitcase, telling her they are over. Maddy leaves to go on her next mission.

Meanwhile, at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, the same exterminator brings the remaining insects in a sealed metal case to a waiting officer, who delivers them on a military plane bound for Beale Air Force Base in California. When the case is offloaded onto an army truck, the officer handling it is attacked by an unknown insect, causing him to drop the case on the runway. When the army truck goes around to retrieve it, they accidentally run it over, destroying the box and releasing the remaining four insects into the air.

One month later, Maddy discovers she is pregnant and tries to call Dan to talk to him, but he is showing some international delegates around the United Nations Experimental Farm in Virginia, and she is unable to tell him before he is forced to end the call. Meanwhile, a couple camping by the American River in California wake up to discover their tent is saturated with a swarm of sleeping locusts, and they flee. A few hours later, the same swarm descends on the Napa Valley as a large black cloud, causing famers to flee. Coincidentally, Maddy, on the road in California with the USDA Voracious Insect Mobile Research Lab, sees the same swarm flying overhead. She begins to track them.

In Leesburg, Virginia, Peter, his wife Terry (Caroline McKinley) and their daughter Sofia (Jenna Hildebrand) are having breakfast. Terry leaves for work, and Peter accompanies Sofia to the bus stop on her way to school, then follows the bus in his car on his way to the gym, before the bus turns off the road to travel towards the school. Peter and Sofia wave to each other. As Peter is heading towards the gym, he hears the buzzes of insects, but cannot see them, so stops by a nearby cornfield, where the swarm of insects suddenly take off into the sky. Peter realises with horror they are his hybrid locusts, and they are heading in the direction of the school bus. The locusts swarm the school bus, attacking the children and knocking them unconscious. Peter drags the unconscious Sofia back to his car, and heads to hospital. Back in Napa Valley, Maddy and her team are on the scene of the earlier swarm's attack on the farm, revealing the locusts have stripped every single bush and tree down to the bark.

In Washington D.C., Dan is at his computer at the United Nations Field Office when he the computer beeps with an alert that reads "locust infestation advisory". Dan calls Maddy to ask her about it, but she reveals she issued it. They begin to reconcile over their earlier argument but Maddy is called away by the Secretary of Agriculture before they can finish, who asks her what is going on. In the hospital, Sofia is revealed to be comatose, looked after by Peter and Terry. Maddy calls the United States Weather Service in Oklahoma for an update on weather patterns to try to predict the two swarms' next movement. The USWS predicts the Virginia swarm will head towards the city of Pittsburgh in the coming hours but mentions they gave the same information to Peter. Maddy asks Vivian to try to get Peter on the line, a grim expression on her face.

Meanwhile, in Visalia, California, some 200 miles south east of Napa, a citrus festival is being held, attended by many families. Peter calls Maddy as the latter passes a sign for the festival, revealing they are his locusts that are swarming. Peter tries to help Maddy but she refuses, wanting him as far from the locusts as possible. Maddy realises as she passes the sign for the festival that's where they will strike next. Maddy and her team begin to evacuate the festival in advance of the locusts, but Vivian reveals the swarm is just minutes away, and both the festival and the team are attacked by the swarm. A dropped video camera records the event.

In Pittsburgh, a hot dog retailer sets up his stand ready for lunch in the city centre, sunlight glinting on the tall glass buildings of the city. True to the USWS's predictions, the swarm begins to reach the city, their huge black cloud noticed by the workers in the city's many tall buildings. Pandemonium erupts in the streets, as the locusts are shown to be swarming in the streets and entering the office buildings via the air vents. At Pittsburgh International Airport, Air Traffic Control are overseeing the take off of a cargo plane, watched by Peter. Peter tries to get Ruby (Mikki Val), the lead air traffic controller, not to launch planes to the north east, as the locusts are heading from that direction. Ruby does not take him seriously, and the cargo plane runs into the swarm, overloading the engines, causing them to fail. The plane crashes in a fiery explosion just yards from the end of the runway in full view of Ruby, who realises her mistake too late.

Back at the hospital, Peter and Terry see the news, which broadcasts the video captured earlier at the festival by the dropped camera. Peter explains to Terry that they are his locusts, angering Terry. Before they can talk further, FBI agents arrive and escort Peter to federal custody. Meanwhile, at the Department for Homeland Security, a meeting takes place between Maddy, her boss Secretary Morales (Mike Gomez), General Miller (Gregory Alan Williams), Senator Clauson (Margaret Lawhon), Director Rusk (Mark Costello), and Lorelei Wentworth (Natalija Nogulich) to determine the course of action required. Maddy's former boyfriend Dan is also in attendance as a crop expert. General Miller is not convinced they are a threat, but changes his mind when he sees the evidence, warning Secretary Morales privately he may not have his job much longer and proposing the military use weapons against them. Dan recommends bringing in the harvest early across the country to try and starve the locusts. During the meeting, Director Rusk receives a call stating the eastern swarm of locusts have now turned carnivorous. At Maddy's request, Vivian locates Peter, who is being held at Fort Douglas, a bioweapons facility.

The FBI reveal to Peter they plan to dump extremely toxic VX gas, a nerve agent, on the locusts to kill them; Peter is uneasy. Maddy pleads with General Miller to help her speak to Peter, he relents and they travel to Fort Douglas to meet him, where Peter reveals to Maddy about the VX nerve gas. Maddy is furious, likening it to a nuclear bomb, but she reluctantly boards a helicopter with General Miller and Peter for a test run over the eastern swarm in Ohio, Miller promising Maddy it will only be used on rural areas with little to no population. Maddy questions its legality, but Miller retorts that it has been authorised by the President. Whilst they board the helicopter, Maddy discreetly makes a call to the news, informing them of the VX nerve gas test run. However, when they are airborne, the USWS informs the group the swarm over Ohio they would be targeting has moved towards southern Indiana and Miller continues to press ahead with the plans. Maddy and Peter are horrified, as southern Indiana is more populated than Ohio, pleading with Miller to turn around, but Miller coldly replies he never said there would not be fatalities. Maddy, desperate, begins using a spanner to smash the VX container on board the helicopter, forcing Miller to turn around before the gas is released, which would cause all on board to die. The helicopter is ordered to turn around regardless when the national news breaks stories of the VX gas being used, as the mission relied on secrecy. Miller is furious.

Maddy calls Dan, asking him to check on her grandfather, Lyle (Mike Farrell), whose farm is in Indiana and thus right in the path of the locusts. Dan leaves immediately for Indiana. Lyle begins gathering the cattle and moving them indoors in advance of the swarm, helped by Maddy and Peter, who arrive in a military vehicle, and by Dan who arrives just as the swarm approaches. They take shelter in a metal grain silo just in time, but as they do so, Maddy notices the electric fly trap on the outside has killed a few locusts. This gives Maddy the idea to use the generator inside the silo to send an electric current to the outside of the grain silo, hopefully killing them. The only problem is the generator has no fuel, the only fuel available is on the other side of the farm. Peter volunteers to go and get it, given that he created them, and covers himself with a sheet to try and protect himself. The swarm attack him immediately and though he makes it back inside, he is covered in bites and blood, revealing the swarm are indeed carnivorous. Lyle loads up the generator and Dan attaches the cables to the metal shell of the silo, sending a powerful current through it. The part of the swarm that attacked the grain silo are killed, but Peter has lost too much blood, and dies. Armed with the knowledge on how to kill them, Dan and Maddy race back to Washington D.C. before the VX gas is used again.

At the Department for Homeland Security, the debate continues on how to deal with them, those in the meeting reluctantly agreeing to Miller's plan to use the toxic VX gas on both swarms as there is no alternative. Maddy and Dan enter the debate and try to convince the others they know how to kill them without killing the human population too - they can use electricity. Miller does not believe it can work, calling it "fantasy" and Secretary Morales, Maddy's boss, angrily tells them to sit down, but the quiet Lorelei Wentworth defends Dan and Maddy, revealing she is the Secretary for the Department of Energy, and that it may indeed be possible to create a massive electric current to kill the swarms, as both swarms are approaching the Continental Power Grids. If the United States switches off their electricity, she can re-route the unused power through the grids, causing a massive electrical current and expanding the electrical field beyond the wires. This persuades Senator Clauson to support the electricity plan, especially as it means not dumping a nerve agent on her people. Director Rusk gives the go ahead for the plan to increase the electricity current through the power lines, but General Miller is skeptical, and warns he will act when the plan does not work.

Dan is concerned that the locust swarms will not be attracted to the current, but Maddy has a flashback - the locusts are attracted to bright light, hence why they attacked the glass office buildings in Pittsburgh and the metal grain silo, both of which reflected sunlight. Maddy calls the USWS again, who agree to launch weather balloons near the power lines in an attempt to attract them. At dawn the next day, power is switched off throughout the United States and rerouted to the two power lines, one each in western and eastern America. Meanwhile, preparations continue in Utah for a launch of VX gas should the electricity plan fail. Maddy and Dan arrive at one of the two sites, and instruct the Air Force to move the weather balloons closer to the power lines, otherwise they will not work. Maddy and Dan reconcile, but just as they are about to kiss, the swarm arrives and they retreat to their car for safety. Wentworth activates the power grid, and the swarms fly into the massively amplified power cables. The cables burst into flames with the amount of current, exploding the transformers, but the plan works, the locust swarms are killed by the electricity. Those in the Department of Homeland Security meeting celebrate, but Secretary Morales reverses the situation on General Miller, warning him he might not have a job much longer for wanting to gas the American people.

One year later, Maddy and Dan have a child together. Maddy receives a call about her next work, but consults with Dan before she accepts, as she finally accepts family time is more important than her job.


And Then There Was Shawn

After a fight between the recently broken up Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) caused by Shawn (Rider Strong) escalates in Mr. Feeny's (William Daniels) class, Cory, Topanga, Shawn, Angela (Trina McGee), and Kenny (Richard Lee Jackson) are all given detention. Feeny leaves the room and the map screen pulls up, revealing "No One Gets Out Alive" written on the chalkboard in blood. The group find themselves locked in the room, and a creepy janitor appears in the hallway and grimaces at them through the door and refuses to let them out. A thumping is heard in the hallway, but is revealed to be Eric (Will Friedle) and Jack (Matthew Lawrence) bouncing a basketball. Suddenly, the lights briefly go out, and turn on revealing Kenny has been murdered by being stabbed through the head with a pencil.

The group tries to escape from the school but find all the exits chained shut. The lights flicker and a creepy song plays over the PA system, and a mysterious masked figure is seen lurking behind the group. Feeny suddenly appears and collapses, having been stabbed in the back with a pair of scissors. The group then finds the janitor's cleaning cart with his corpse inside. Shawn deduces that one of them is the killer with all of his other suspects now dead. Eric patrols the hallway and finds a girl, Jennifer Love Fefferman, or "Feffie" (Jennifer Love Hewitt), wandering. Eric suspects her of being the killer, but then begins kissing her after she says she isn't. The killer calls a pay phone in the hallway and says he will kill the group, and they retreat to the library.

Shawn suggests the group splits up. While wandering the library, Feffie is mortally wounded after the killer pushes a pile of books on top of her. As Eric comforts her in her dying moments, she says she knows who the killer is, but before she can reveal it they are both killed by another pile of books. With his roommate Eric dead, Jack worries he won't be able to pay his rent anymore, and tries to commit suicide by jumping out a window, but Angela stops him. The killer appears and pushes them out the window to their deaths. Cory, Shawn and Topanga confront the killer, and Shawn unmasks him, revealing the killer is a doppelgänger of himself.

Shawn awakes in detention, revealing most of the events to have been a dream. He tells Feeny it is his fault the group is in detention. Cory and Topanga assure Shawn their break up isn't his fault, and Feeny decides to end detention. They all leave the room, but the killer appears again and runs out of the room. In a post-credits scene, Feeny dreams that he has a class of knowledgable, outstanding students. He awakens to a loud and unruly class, talking and throwing paper airplanes, and holds up a pair of scissors contemplatively.


Meditations in an Emergency (Mad Men)

Betty visits the doctor where she learns she is pregnant. She tries to broach the subject of abortion, but the doctor insists that is only for single girls, not wealthy, married women. Don returns from California and visits her at the stables. The two talk and he finally confirms that he did in fact have an affair. Betty rejects any further attempts at reconciliation, telling him they'll talk later.

Harry, Ken, Paul, and Salvatore wonder why they are suddenly being asked to provide detailed department information to Bert Cooper. They convince Lois, Don's former secretary who now works as a switch operator, to reveal what she has overheard. She divulges that Sterling Cooper is being bought and merged with the British ad agency Putnam, Powell, and Lowe (PPL), and, that while they are interested in retaining the New York office, it is possible that some employees will be let go. The men become concerned for their job security.

Pete is encouraged by Peggy to admit that Clearasil is leaving the agency. Duck is surprisingly unperturbed and informs Pete that he intends to make Pete head of accounting while he himself is going to be the new head of Sterling Cooper.

Everyone is put on edge by the escalating Cuban missile crisis. Joan broaches the subject of a civil safety protocol while Trudy decides to flee Manhattan to stay with her parents in case of an attack. Pete refuses to go with her, despite her pleading. Father Gill discusses the possibility of nuclear war in his sermon, and, the next day, approaches Peggy to discuss it further. He expresses the belief that he was sent to Brooklyn specifically to help Peggy, and encourages her to confess the birth of her child to him. He warns her that if she does not repent and they are bombed, she will go to hell. Offended, Peggy dismisses him and states that, "she doesn't believe that's the way God is."

Don returns after his three week hiatus and learns of Peggy's new office as well as the merger. He goes mostly unpunished for his disappearance, though Pete Campbell rebukes him for leaving him to deal with the clients by himself in California. Don tells Pete he had faith in his abilities, and that now Pete is worthy of the promotion he desperately wanted last season. Moved by his loyalty to Don, Pete reveals to him that Duck will be made president of Sterling Cooper.

Betty discloses to Francine that she is pregnant, but does not want to have a baby. Sympathetic, Francine mentions it is possible to have a secret abortion in Albany or Puerto Rico- though the latter option is not ideal due to the situation in Cuba. That night, Betty drops Sally and Bobby off to stay with Don, while she has the night to herself. She goes shopping and stops for a drink at a bar where she engages in a sexual encounter with a stranger in the back room. Don, meanwhile, sits with Sally and Bobby and begins drafting a letter to Betty.

The next day, Bert, Roger, Don, and Duck meet with the executives from the PPL, and Duck is announced as the new president of Sterling Cooper. Duck declares his business strategy to be focused on simply pushing advertisements and dismisses the actual importance or persuasive abilities of the creative department. Disagreeing with this plan, Don reveals he intends to resign from Sterling Cooper. Duck attempts to threaten him by mentioning his contract, but Don reminds everyone that he does not have a contract and walks out. Infuriated, Duck states that they do not need Don, but the PPL executives are unconvinced. They ask Duck to step out of the room, and remark to Roger and Bert that Duck, "never could hold his liquor."

While on her way out, Pete calls Peggy into his office. The two begin talking and Pete confesses his love for Peggy and that he wants to be with her. Shocked and frustrated by the revelation, Peggy finally informs Pete that she could have shamed him into being with her because of her pregnancy. She explains clearly that "she had his baby, but she gave it away." Astonished, Pete questions why she would choose to tell him this now. She clarifies that she did not want to be with him, and that she thought there was a part of herself she could get back by pretending that it never happened, but now she knows that that person is gone. She apologizes to him and leaves while Pete sits stunned.

Betty finds the letter from Don where he expresses his regret for cheating on her, his desire to be a family, and that without her, he will be alone forever. She allows him to move back home. When he returns, the two sit together in the kitchen, and Betty reveals she is pregnant. Surprised, Don reaches out and takes her hand. The two sit and stare at each other in contemplative silence.


Once, Upon Time

Later, Madeleine meets Antonio, a fellow American and musician with whom she also begins a romantic dalliance. Thomas later tells Madeleine he cannot see her anymore, as he has a girlfriend. Madeleine responds to this news with little upset, and invites Thomas to attend a large party Franz is holding to celebrate the arrival of his son, Luis, from the United States. During the party, Thomas's girlfriend Mary gets drunk, and Madeleine attempts to seduce her, but is stopped by Franz. Franz begins to attempt to have sex with Mary, which causes an outburst when Thomas bears witness to this. After the two men get into a fight, Thomas wanders outside and drowns himself in the swimming pool.

After Thomas's suicide, Madeleine leaves Franz and meets with Antonio, to whom she professes her love. As the two kiss on the beach, Franz arrives, interrupting the lovers' rendezvous. Franz humiliates Madeleine by revealing all of her affairs to Antonio, who then rejects her. Franz proceeds to brandish a gun, apparently shooting Madeleine. However, this is proved to be a mere ruse—later, Luis, Thomas, and Franz observe Madeleine in a hospital: It is revealed that Luis is in fact Madeleine's husband, while Franz and Thomas are psychiatrists who have been studying her as a test case in an attempt to understand her shattered psyche; Mary is a nurse who works with the psychiatrists. Madeleine awakens, and appears to finally have a state of mental clarity, suggesting that their elaborate, clandestine therapy plot was successful. However, when Luis departs with Madeleine, she demands to be reunited with Franz, whom she now believes to be her husband.

The Strauss Dynasty

First part

Johann Strauss befriends Joseph Lanner at one of his concerts. The superficial dance music of the aristocratic balls gives Johann Strauss the idea of founding an orchestra with Lanner.

Both of them immediately get a job with the inn owner Streim. While his daughter Anna flirts with Strauss and Lanner at the same time, the businessman Karl Friedrich Hirsch convince the two musicians to play music in parallel in Streim's inn and in other places.

Anna becomes pregnant and marries Strauss; at the wedding Lanner breaks away from Strauss. Despite his professional success, Strauss is plagued by fears about the future. When Anna gives birth to their son Johann ("Schani"), Strauss prefers to play with the Italian violinist Niccolò Paganini, who has shown enthusiasm for his music.

Little Schani develops his first musical inclinations, while his father becomes soon more successful than Lanner, despite the last one is appointed music director to the imperial court. During a cholera epidemic, Strauss plans with Hirsch a concert in Schönbrunn to draw the emperor's attention to his music. Despite his absence, the concert is a success and Strauss chooses a waltz queen from the audience, the young . The troops of the emperor dissolve the concert due to health concerns, even with the use of force; in their escape, Strauss and Emilie kiss.

Prince Metternich summons Strauss at court and sent him on a concert tour to England for the coronation of Queen Victoria. In return, he promises Strauss that he would find a post at the imperial court for him when he is back in Vienna.

Second part

Because his lover Emilie Trampusch gives birth to a son, Strauss decides, despite the homesickness of his orchestra, to prolong his concert tour to France. When he prospects to continue the journey to New York, Strauss is abandoned by his musicians.

Resigned, Strauss and Hirsch return to Vienna, where Strauss sees his grown-up son Schani and his brothers again. Strauss is unable to work, while Anna does not know how to support her family. Frustrated, Strauss forbids his sons to become musicians in order to spare them the disappointments he had to experience himself. When the musicians of his previous orchestra return to Strauss, at Anna's insistence he start working again.

Strauss moves in with Emilie and agrees to pay Anna's family maintenance only if his sons abide by his music ban. For this reason, Schani attends business school, but, with the support of his mother, secretly turns back to music. Moreover, he falls in love with Lanner's daughter Kathi, who arranges for him violin lessons with her father. After Johann Strauss finds out about the lessons, Anna forbids any further interference from her husband and sends her son to take composition lessons with the organist Joseph Drechsler; Schani earns the necessary money at night working in a factory. However, Schani does not enjoy Drechslers' lessons on fugues and would rather, contrary to his mother's plans, compose waltzes and set up an orchestra with his friend Gustav Levi.

Lanner dies unexpectedly; due to Prince Metternich's influence, Strauss becomes his successor as music director to the imperial court.

After initial difficulties, Schani gets permission to found an orchestra with the help of his mother, who de facto signs as his guardian. Although Johann Strauss threatens to boycott all café owners who let Schani play with them, Schani celebrates a successful debut at . Johann Strauss congratulates his son and offers him a tour together; Schani's mother, however, vehemently refuses.

Third part

Prince Metternich worries about public order because of the rivalry between father and son. When a young woman dies in a dispute between the supporters of father and son, Schani plays at her funeral despite the official prohibition. Prince Metternich urges Strauss to end the conflict with his son, but then, at Hirsch's suggestion, sends Schani as a cultural ambassador to Romania.

The rebels of the revolution of 1848 celebrate Schani as a hero because he opposed the authorities at the funeral; he plays for them the ''Marseillaise''. After his return to Vienna, Schani reports to the revolutionary army. While Field Marshal Radetzky crushes the rebels, Schani and Levi are arrested for participating in the revolution. Prince Metternich is deposed and Emperor Ferdinand I abdicates; his successor is his nephew Franz Joseph I.

Escaping from the revolution with other upper-class citizens, Johann Strauss has an affair with the singer Jetty Treffz, the lover of the banker ; when he returns to Vienna, he performs the ''Radetzky March'' in Radetzky's honour. While Anna is campaigning for Schani's release, Johann Strauss falls ill with scarlet fever. Schani is allowed to visit his terminally ill father, but comes too late: Emilie Trampusch has gone and has left Johann Strauss's naked body in the house.

After his funeral, Schani reunites his orchestra with that of his father. A little later he falls in love with Karoline, who however is starting a relationship with Schani's brother Josef. When his application for music director to the imperial court is rejected, he reluctantly goes on a tour at the urging of his mother. The Russian Prince Alexander Nikolajewitsch Gribow gives him the opportunity to play in Russia for the Tsar.

Fourth part

Johann Strauss writes in his letters to his mother how successful his music is in Russia and how popular he is with women - he already lives in a liaison with the aristocratic daughter - but also reports on the darker side of the raging Crimean War in Russia. A little later he is awarded the Order of St. Stanislaus by the Tsar.

Olga's parents, on the other hand, try to prevent their daughter's not appropriate relationship with Johann. When he secretly arranges to take Olga with him to Austria, she tries, driven by inner voices, to shoot herself and Strauss; however, Strauss manages to flee. The Tsar promises that Olga will be taken care of; Strauss returns to Vienna, where, thanks to his success, he gives one concert after another.

When Strauss has to go to the sanatorium for three months because of overwork, his brother Josef - who works as an engineer - replaces Johann as music director at the insistence of his mother. Since Johann's stay in the sanatorium results in a lack of new waltzes, Josef begins to compose; a little later their brother Eduard turns to music as well. When Josef also collapses due to overwork, Eduard takes over the orchestra.

Johann and Jetty Treffz begin a relationship and get married, despite protests from Johann's mother, who considers Jetty a bad wife. Shortly after the wedding, Johann is appointed music director to the imperial court. Anna Strauss reacts in horror when Johann wants to devote himself exclusively to composing.

Fifth part

While the Strauss brothers quarrel over contract negotiations and Johann's choice of spouse, Austria experiences a defeat in the Austro-Prussian War in 1866. Johann is given by police inspector Joseph Weyl the task of setting a poem to music to lighten the mood in the population. While Johann despairs of the silly text, Levi becomes his publisher.

Since Josef is in financial difficulties, Johann offer him the chance to go on a concert tour to Russia with some of his musicians. When Johann takes the rest of the orchestra to France, Eduard reacts angrily that there are no musicians left for him. Johann celebrates a success in Paris at the 1867 Exposition Universelle when he performs his music transposition of the poem, the waltz ''The Blue Danube'', without text.

Since Johann reacts cautiously to an offer from the impresario Charles Gilmore to host an American tour, Jetty informs him only when they are in America that he had received a telegram in France with the news of his mother's death. Johann is shocked by her approach.

In Vienna, his joy over being awarded the Salvator Medal and the sale of a million copies of ''The Blue Danube'' is overshadowed by the cancer death of his brother Josef; on the deathbed Eduard accuses Johann of having caused Josef's death during the trip to Russia.

Jetty tries several times to encourage Johann to write operettas; only when Eva Wesseli, a singer at the theater, presents Johann with a libretto, Johann decides to compose ''Die Fledermaus''. Jetty is jealous when an affair develops between Johann and Eva.

The great success of ''Die Fledermaus'' is overshadowed by allegations that Johann published an unknown work by his deceased brother as his own. His marriage is also threatened with disaster when Jetty's grown-up son shows up and demands payment of his gambling debts; otherwise he threatens to expose public that he is the son of Johann Strauss (father).

In the meantime, Johann meets Johannes Brahms, who as a music expert offers to publicly refute the plagiarism allegations against Johann, since his cheerful music is completely different from that of the calculating engineer Josef Strauss. His joy about such meeting is immediately spoiled by Jetty's suicide; through a letter from her he learns the truth about her son.

Sixth part

Shortly after Jetty's death, Strauss marries the actress Angelika Dittrich. She quickly dilapidates her husband's money and her attempt to surprise her husband with daring, self-painted pictures fails miserably. During an argument, Angelika miscarries; due to rumours that she was having an affair, Johann asks for a divorce and, on the advice of family lawyer Dr. Halmi, travels to Hungary. After Angelika does not consent to the divorce, Strauss finds legal help from Dr. Halmi's widowed daughter-in-law Adele, who has opened a law firm in Budapest. At a gypsy festival, a fortune teller predicts an imminent wedding between them.

After Angelika blocks Johann's accounts, Adele tooks over his financial affairs. Angelika insinuates a liaison between them, whereupon Dr. Halmi becomes her lawyer and dismisses Adele from his office. Despite Levi's request, Eduard refuses to help Johann financially by performing his music.

While working on his new operetta ''Der Zigeunerbaron'', Johann converts to Protestantism and becomes a citizen of the German Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in order to divorce Angelika and marry Adele; Eduard is his successor as music director to the imperial court.

Despite Johann's new citizenship, the Viennese respond enthusiastically to ''Der Zigeunerbaron''. Johann's plan to publish a complete edition of his works fails because of Edward's refusal to hand over the music he has archived. On the occasion of the award of the Order of chivalry by Franz Joseph I, Johann dedicates his Kaiser-Waltz to the Emperor.

On June 3, 1899, Johann, sitting in an armchair, thinks back to his eventful life and dies. The musicians in Eduard's orchestra mournfully play ''The Blue Danube''; Eduard himself runs back home and, crying, burns his archive in the fireplace.

Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream

Characters

There are six playable characters in ''Atelier Sophie 2'', which stars the eponymous Sophie Neuenmuller (Yuuka Aisaka, reprising). Following the events of the first game, she leaves her hometown of Kirchen Bell to become a state-licensed alchemist and end up in a parallel world called Erde Wiege. On a quest to reunite with her mentor and friend, Plachta (Yuka Iguchi, reprising), she meets a younger version of Plachta who has not met Sophie before and is still a novice alchemist. This Plachta has been in Erde Wiege for some time before Sophie arrives, and she has her own atelier in the outskirts of town. Another surprise for Sophie is that a young version of her late grandmother, Ramizel Erlenmeyer (Rie Takahashi), is alive and perhaps the longest-berthed resident. The residents consider her their unofficial mayor. The other playable characters are Alette Claretie (Aoi Yūki), a merchant obsessed with scraping together money; Olias Enders (Tomoaki Maeno), charismatic yet self-absorbed bodyguard held in high esteem; and Diebold Lewerenz (Kengo Kawanishi), a former knight who has become a stoic bodyguard.

Other members of the cast play supporting roles. Elvira (Reina Ueda) is the creator of Erde Wiege and is worshiped by the residents as a goddess. The tavern where Sophie's group receives requests is run by its burned out proprietor, Katrina "Kati" Balbastre (Manami Numakura), and her young friend who actually serves all the customers, Gnome Dumortier (Yūko Ōno). The game's duplication services are provided by Pirka (Yukimi Hayase), an experienced merchant who took Alette under her wing.

Story

Following the events of the first game, the alchemists Sophie and Plachta, with Plachta still stuck in a doll's body, leave the town of Kirchen Bell on a journey for Sophie to earn her alchemist certification. When they get close to a strange tree, both are pulled into a mysterious black void. Separated from Plachta, Sophie awakens in the city of Roytale and is taken in by two merchants, Pirka and Alette, who explains that they are in the parallel world of Erde Wiege, created by the goddess Elvira and inhabited by individuals chosen across multiple periods of time by her. Sophie moves to an atelier that she shares with another alchemist whom she discovers to be a younger version of Plachta, summoned to Erde Wiege before she loses her human body.

To search for Plachta, Sophie joins forces with the young Plachta, Alette, the bodyguard Olias, and the former knight Diebold. Finally, Sophie meets and teams up with her grandmother Ramizel, also summoned from her younger days. Ramizel, who is Elvira's only friend, eventually deduces that she is involved with Plachta's disappearance and the party confronts her. Elvira reveals that Plachta's soul was separated from her doll body when she was brought to Erde Wiege and was looking after her body since then. Using her alchemy, Sophie locates Plachta's soul and reattaches it to her doll body. By Ramizel's suggestion, Elvira starts interacting with the other inhabitants of Roytale and nominates Plachta as the new mayor. Some time later, the party is tasked to investigate a new breed of monsters with strange powers, named "Groll". After the Groll attack one of the Dream Cores, magical stones who act as cornerstones to Erde Wiege and possess some of Roytale's citizens, turning them apathetic, Sophie and the others discover that they are vicious creatures who prey on dreams. Plachta uses her alchemy to create a device to ward off the Groll while Elvira makes the citizens recover by extracting the Groll from their bodies, but the process corrupts her and she flees out of fear of being a risk to others.

Sophie, Young Plachta and Ramizel devise a plan to rescue Elvira from the Groll's influence. As the party sets to confront Elvira, they learn through her memories that she was always alone, only able to watch silently over the dreams of others and created Erde Wiege using the Dream Cores from pieces of her own power so that she could interact with Ramizel and the others, but in doing so she violated one of the gods' sacred rules, which led to the appearance of the Groll. Having lost control of herself, Elvira attacks the party, but they manage to weaken her long enough for Ramizel to extract the Groll from her body, saving her. Back to Roytale, Elvira decides to send all citizens back to the real world and destroy Erde Wiege so that she can regain her full powers and prevent the Groll from reappearing at the cost of being alone again, but to ease her solitude, Sophie creates an artifact that allows Elvira to communicate with others inside their dreams, much to her joy. Before departing, Young Plachta decides to have Elvira erase her memories to ensure that her future is unaltered and she will eventually reunite with Sophie. The party leaves Erde Wiege, except for Ramizel who accompanies Elvira one last time in her journey to recover the Dream Cores before also leaving. Sophie and Plachta awaken back at the real world and continue their journey, their next destination being the mining city of Ertona, setting the events of ''Atelier Firis''.

Cold Snap (Dexter: New Blood)

In Iron Lake, New York, Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), going by the name Jim Lindsay, is running through the snowy woods, attempting to hunt a stag. When he finds him, a rare albino stag, he is unable to shoot him and leaves for his cabin. At his remote cabin, he briefly talks with an imaginary iteration of his sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), before she disappears.

On his way into town, Dexter is stopped by Angela Bishop (Julia Jones), the small town's chief of police, and it is revealed that they're in a relationship. They have sex in Angela's car before Angela is called for a minor case, forcing her to leave. Dexter heads into town where he works as a shopkeeper at Fred's Fish & Game. A young customer, Matt Caldwell (Steve M. Robertson), arrives to buy a knife and hunting rifle. While Dexter sells him the knife, he must wait 24 hours before buying the rifle as his FBI background check is flagged. Although disappointed, Matt calmly leaves with the knife.

That night, Dexter goes on a date with Angela at a bar. Their date is interrupted when Angela's daughter invites friends to her house, forcing Angela to leave early. At the bar, Dexter is approached again by Matt. Although Dexter reiterates that he can't get him the rifle early, Matt invites him to a party the next day at his father's house. A mysterious hitchhiker (Jack Alcott) soon arrives at the town and takes an interest in Dexter. The next day, Dexter goes hunting again but feels he is being watched, finding footsteps in the snow. He expresses his concerns to Debra, but she tells him to adhere to his new life.

Petrol billionaire Edward Olsen (Fredric Lehne) is in town, intending to open a business, which is met with backlash from many townspeople. Dexter's boss, Fred Jr. (Michael Cyril Creighton), tells him to give Matt the rifle as his records were cleared, and has Dexter deliver it himself. Dexter arrives at the party, where Matt's friend Bill takes him upstairs to see Matt. They are forced to leave the room when they find him having sex. Bill then snorts cocaine and tells Dexter that he and Matt were involved in a boat accident, which resulted in many deaths. In exchange for money, Bill covered for Matt, but his guilt and treatment by the townspeople are destroying him emotionally. Realizing his mistake, he asks Dexter not to tell anyone. Dexter delivers the rifle to Matt and briefly considers attacking him before just leaving the house.

Returning to his cabin, Dexter finds someone inside and sneaks up behind in order to attack him with an axe. He confronts the mysterious person, who reveals himself to be his son Harrison. Debra reminds Dexter of all the deaths that plagued his previous life (Doakes, LaGuerta, Rita, and Debra herself), telling him not to get involved with Harrison's life. Dexter claims not to be the man he is looking for and gives him money to leave the town. As Harrison leaves, Dexter stares at a photo of both when he was a baby and decides to burn it.

Dexter once again hunts the stag and eventually finds him. Instead of shooting him, he approaches the stag and pets it. Suddenly, the stag is shot by a gleeful Matt, to Dexter's shock. Dexter finally snaps and hits Matt in the head with his rifle, knocking him out. His "Dark Passenger" suddenly returns, noting it's been a long time since he felt the need. He covers the interior of his shed with plastic and straps a naked Matt to a table. He confronts Matt about the stag and the boat accident. Matt confesses his part but defends his actions, blaming his troubled childhood. When Dexter claims he will still kill him, Matt angrily states that his father will kill Dexter when he finds out. Nevertheless, Dexter stabs Matt in the chest, killing him.

Dexter stores Matt's blood on a makeshift microscopic slide but decides to drop it with the corpse. He chops up Matt's body, placing it in bags, despite Deb's insistence to stop. He then drives to the town, finding Harrison just as he is about to leave town. He confesses to being his father and decides to take him home. As they enter the house, blood trails are seen outside his cabin.


Wind from an Enemy Sky

''Wind from an Enemy Sky'' begins with the Little Elk tribe's reaction to United States government presence and the construction of a dam on reservation land. While not explicitly mentioned in the text, the Seli’š Ksanka Qlispe’ Dam, located within the Flathead Reservation is believed to provide the model for the fictional dam.

''Wind'' concentrates on the mistrust between the Little Elk people and the United States government and the colonization efforts toward the tribe. In the novel, the Little Elk people argue that the US government destroys their sacred land for worthless gain. At the same time, the US government believes that the land must be "modernized" and refuses to consult the tribe before breaking ground. Such action represents just one of the various ways in which the government imposes on the tribe's traditional way of life.

Solely written in third-person narration, the story features several points of view through the eyes of Natives and Non-Natives. Bull, the patriarch of the Little Elk tribe, attempts to restore their land multiple times, which results in trouble with the government. In the novel, Adam Pell, a prominent American figure, is the builder of the forsaken dam that Bull despises. Pell is convinced that his actions are justified. He attempts to mend the issues created between himself and the tribe, but his actions are ineffective.

A second plot line in the novel centers around Henry Jim and his reconciliation efforts with the Little Elk tribe as he nears death. He had given away the tribe's most sacred object, the Feather Boy medicine bundle, and recognizes that its repatriation represents the only way for him to mend his wrongs.

The meeting of these two plot lines leads to the climax of the novel as the Little Elk attempt to accept these unforgiving truths, ultimately culminating in tragedy.

All the Bells Say

Kendall is nursed back to his health after nearly drowning in his pool, having been discovered by Comfry. Gerri reports that GoJo's market capitalization has exceeded Waystar's, resulting from heavy fines from the Department of Justice. Logan and Roman travel to Lukas Matsson's Lake Como villa to meet with him in person; Matsson proposes that GoJo buy out Waystar with him as CEO – giving Matsson the power to choose a new board – while Logan exits with a settlement along with continued control of key assets. Logan stays to negotiate further while sending Roman back to Tuscany to attend his mother's wedding.

In Tuscany, Roman, Shiv and Connor sit down with Kendall to assess his mental state, believing him to have attempted suicide, but Kendall dismisses their intervention, insisting that his near-drowning was a drunken accident. Upon learning of Logan's merger plans with GoJo – which could jeopardize his presidential campaign – and hearing Kendall refer to himself as Logan's "eldest son," Connor lashes out at his siblings for the consistent disregard they have shown him, but regains his spirits when Willa agrees to marry him. Karl and Frank arrive in Italy to aid Logan in dealmaking procedures. Greg romantically pursues an Italian ''contessa'' Roman has brought along as a wedding date, learning she has blood ties to the monarchy of Luxembourg.

During the wedding reception, Roman – noticing odd behavior from Gerri, Kerry and others amid apparent concerns over the GoJo deal – reveals Matsson's buyout proposal to an irate Shiv. The two inform Kendall, realizing that giving Matsson control of the company's board severely endangers their prospects of ever taking over as CEO. Kendall, overwhelmed, breaks down in tears over his failure as both a father to his children and as a whistleblower against the company, and finally admits his involvement in the waiter's death at Shiv's wedding. Shiv and Roman comfort him, and Roman suggests that Kendall does not deserve to be fully blamed for the accident.

The three siblings recall a clause in Logan and Caroline's divorce agreement granting the children a vote over any change in company control, and decide to band together as an opposing majority against Logan. On the road, Shiv relays their plans to Tom, who realizes that Shiv has not considered where he will fall under this alliance. Tom vaguely asks Greg for a pledge of loyalty amidst the upcoming changes at Waystar and promises to bring him into the upper echelons of the company. Greg, reluctant at first, happily accepts.

The children arrive at Logan's villa to confront their father. The three hold firm against Logan's attempts to divide them; Logan argues that the siblings losing company control will be a teachable moment for them, and reacts with contempt when Shiv attempts to invoke the supermajority clause. He puts Caroline on the phone, revealing the two renegotiated their divorce agreement to deprive the children of their voting power, effectively leaving them powerless within the company. Roman despondently begs his father to reconsider, but Logan declares that the deal is settled because it ultimately works in his own favor. Roman then pleads with Gerri to oppose Logan and help the siblings remove him but she declines, declaring the buyout to be in her best interest financially. Tom arrives and receives a warm greeting from Logan, leading Shiv to realize it was he who informed Logan of the children's revolt.


Whistle and I'll Come to You (2010 film)

In this version, retired astronomer James Parkin goes on a respite holiday after leaving his aged wife (who appears to be in the advanced stages of dementia) in a care home. When revisiting one of their favourite coastal towns during the off-season, he goes for a walk on the beach and discovers a wedding ring in the sand, which he keeps. As he is walking back along the desolate beach to his hotel, he senses he is being followed and sees a motionless white-clad figure in the distance behind him. As he walks further, the seemingly motionless figure gets closer to him each time he turns to look back. Nervous, he runs back to the steps away from the beach but as he turns around again, the figure has disappeared. Back at his hotel room, he cleans the ring he has found and sees it is inscribed with the Latin words for "Who is this, who is coming?" which he reads out loud. Later that night, he is awoken by noises. Initially this seems to be caused by a storm outside but he then hears scratching noises inside his room. He goes back to sleep with his bedside lamp turned on but when he awakens again later, the lamp is off again.

The next morning, he dismisses the scratching noises as a rat and the lamp as having a loose connection, both of which he asks the hotel receptionist to investigate. He begins to venture out to the beach again but once he gets there he becomes hesitant and decides to spend the day elsewhere instead. That night, Parkin falls asleep while reading in bed. He is woken in the night again by strange noises and finds his bedside lamp is once again turned off even though he fell asleep with it on. This time, someone tries to enter his hotel room. Though they are unsuccessful, he feels shaken by the incident. Eventually, he manages to fall asleep again but has a disturbing dream that involves his wife, a young child and the figure on the beach.

Early the next morning, he tells the hotel receptionist that he believes one of the other guests tried to get into his room but she tells him that he was alone in the hotel, with no other guests or even staff present. Though his scientific mind refuses to acknowledge the existence of the spiritual or supernatural (he refuses to believe in the idea of his wife's spirit being trapped in her almost functionless body like a "ghost in the machine"), he becomes increasingly uneasy during the remainder of his stay at the hotel. Later that day, he is again followed by the ominous white-clad figure on the otherwise empty beach. Panicked, he runs back to the hotel and decides to leave the following day.

The night before he is due to depart, Parkin struggles to relax in his hotel room. He picks up the ring he found on the beach but quickly tries to dispel any irrational thoughts he is having and eventually falls asleep. Later in the night, he is once again awakened by the scratching sounds and then something trying to enter his hotel room. This time, an apparition enters his room from underneath the door. As his bedside lamp goes off again by itself, Parkin shuts his eyes in terror and implores the apparition to leave him alone. As he opens his eyes he sees a figure sitting on the end of his bed. The figure appears to be his wife, who angrily says over and over again "I'm still here" as she crawls towards him. Parkin tries in vain to escape, his fingernails scratching on the wooden floor making a sound identical to the scratching noises he kept hearing. The following morning, the receptionist finds Parkin lying dead in his bed, while his wife seemingly vanishes from the care home.''[http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00x1zmm Whistle and I'll Come to You]'' at BBC Online.

De heldige tre konger

The novel is divided into two parts. The first part is a first-person account written by an unnamed "Firibier," an intelligent cephalopod. He spends most of the first part of the novel disguised as a boulder on the shores of the Oslo Fjord while he prepares and later observes the Firibier invasion of the land:

... we must take over before man in his confusion destroys himself and allows our planet to sail dead through the universe. Only we have sufficient intelligence and power to save the Earth. We attack man to save life on Earth, even though we must take many lives. Do not think that we are warriors. We want the best. The Almighty has chosen us and given us spirit and responsibility. This is why we must perform our task.

During the first phase of the invasion, marine animals controlled by the Firibiers sink all shipping. The Firibiers ask humanity to surrender, but their emissaries are massacred. The depths of the sea are bombed with nuclear weapons, a calculated radioactive poisoning of all life in the sea. The Firibiers respond with biological warfare, using "homosilioma," a substance that sterilizes men and "makes men mentally a kind of women, while women remain the same." All resistance ceases, and the Firibiers occupy the land.

The second part of the novel goes back in time to the beginning of part one, and it follows the three-man crew on a Soviet–American space expedition to Mars. Reports from Earth give people a view of the conflict with the Firibiers until the homosilioma attack is launched and all communication ceases:

On September 10th, a shrill voice finally came over the speaker. It sounded like a young boy. He shouted: "Who are you, drifting and nagging and nagging here? Don't we have anything to do but talk to heaven? Heaven is on Earth. It's down here, it's heavenly. You can go to hell if you want, but leave us in peace with our playing and dancing."

As the expedition approaches the earth, other radio stations begin to take to the air:

... there was a woman's voice. They could hear her clearly. She spoke on behalf of the local women's council, and she announced ordinances and practical messages. As before, men were ordered to work in their fields of specialization, eight hours a day. Their leisure time and their leisure pursuits were irrelevant to society. Now the astronauts gradually received more stations, and they began to form a picture of the situation on Earth. It became clear that the Firibiers had been wiped out, but that the women of the Earth had taken over all administration and supervision. ... They heard grievances about female militias, and about female police. They heard criticism and condemnation from women that went out and ravaged like gangs—but never a word came from the men on Earth.

The Firibiers have died from radiation exposure or have been liquidated by the women among the occupied population. The men of the earth, however, are sterile and useless for anything other than supervised work. The three astronauts are welcome to return to Earth as breeding animals in a program to save the human race, hence the title ''De heldige tre konger'' 'The Lucky Three Kings' (a pun on Norwegian ''de hellige tre konger'' 'the (Holy) Three Kings'):

At the hospital in Bodø, we have set up a separate laboratory. In the same way that animals are artificially inseminated, we will have to use their semen, dilute it, cool it, and transport it by jet in small ampoules all over the world.

Edmund Villon (Dingdong Dantes), a corrupt detective whose mother recently died, drives away in the middle of the funeral, having been informed that his squad is being investigated by internal affairs for bribery. He crashes into a homeless man who wanders onto the road, killing him. Fearing manslaughter charges as he is intoxicated, Edmund declines to call the police, and hides the body from a passing patrol car. With the body in his trunk, he returns to the funeral and manages to seal the body into his mother's coffin while escaping detection. However, he realizes that the man's cell phone is also in the coffin after sealing it. A few days later, Edmund purposely gets into another crash to conceal the earlier damage and give him a reason to visit a repair shop. To the fortune of Edmund and his squad, the internal affairs investigation is cancelled by a lieutenant named Franco.

Edmund's squad is then assigned to locate and arrest a wanted murderer named Apyong (Nor Domingo), who is revealed to be the homeless man. While searching Apyong's hideout, the squad finds nothing significant, but they meet another police officer who is investigating a hit-and-run incident based on an anonymous tip. Apyong's hideout is right next to the site of the collision, and a traffic camera is nearby. The squad examines the low-quality camera footage, noting that the model of the colliding car is the same as Edmund's. The triangulation of Apyong's phone points to the area near Edmund's mother's grave.

It is revealed that the driver of the patrol car who drove past Edmund after he killed Apyong was Ace Franco (John Arcilla), the lieutenant who shut down the investigation into Edmund's team. Franco outranks Edmund, and although he witnessed Edmund's collision, he doesn't know where the body was taken. Rather than formally report Edmund, Franco blackmails him and demands possession of the body. Edmund excavates the coffin and searches Apyong, discovering bullet wounds on his body which indicate that Apyong had been shot before Edmund hit him. Apyong's cell phone receives a call from a fellow criminal, whom Edmund tracks down and interrogates. The criminal reveals that Franco stole a large amount of confiscated cocaine. However, after storing his profits in a private vault, Apyong stole the key and escaped. Franco shot Apyong and was chasing him when he was hit by Edmund's car. When asked about the key, Edmund finds out that anything important was always kept with Apyong on his body.

Edmund returns to the grave site and locates the key, but is arrested by his subordinate and closest friend, Arturo, who tailed him after discovering that Edmund's car was identified with the characters on the license plate caught by the traffic camera. Although Edmund confessed to Arturo about everything, Arturo decides not to arrest his friend for the sake of Edmund’s daughter. Edmund tells Arturo about Franco’s illegal operations. They suddenly receive a call from Franco instructing Edmund to get out of Arturo’s car so that the latter will not be involved. Arturo is killed when Franco uses a crane to drop a shipping container onto his car. Edmund gets ready to report on Franco and turn in himself as well, but Franco threatens to kill Edmund's sister and daughter. Edmund steals an explosive from the police basement and inserts it into Apyong's body. He gives the body to Franco and denotes the explosive, blasting Franco's van off a bridge into a lake. Edmund returns to his apartment and gets ready to report his crimes, but is attacked by Franco, who survived the explosion. Franco accidentally shoots and kills himself while trying to dislodge a revolver from a fallen bookshelf. Senior police officials decide to cover up Franco's and Edmund's crimes to protect their own reputations. Edmund chooses to resign, and start a business woth his sister. While at their mother’s grave, Edmund finds the key he found from Apyong’s body after accidentally throwing it at the time Arturo found him early in the movie. He decides to go to the private vault of Franco and Apyong. Inside the vault he discovers an enormous reserve of cash, more than he could have imagined. But instead of keeping the money just for himself, he used some of the money to give to his sister and to poor people in need.

Harrison was sent to foster homes in Miami but managed to get to Oregon and track down "Jim Lindsay". Dexter allows him to sleep at his cabin, despite being tormented by Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) saying that he will screw up Harrison's life.

The next day, Dexter notices blood trails outside his cabin from when he killed Matt and begins to cover it up. However, the police arrives, which includes Angela (Julia Jones). Angela informs him that Matt's disappearance in the surrounding areas is prompting a search party and they want to use his cabin as a camp, which Dexter accepts. Angela also meets Harrison, who covers for Dexter by claiming to be "Jim Lindsay's son." Dexter helps in the investigation, which is actually a ruse in order to dispose of evidence incriminating him. He also throws one of Matt's gloves near a highway. Authorities find the dead deer and Angela gets into a conflict with the Seneca people in the area, as the area falls under their forests. One of them calls out Angela for giving priority to Matt instead of searching for their missing people.

After realizing that she can't escape from the room, Lily eventually discovers the camera, which also has the words "You're already dead" written below it, presumably with blood.

Angela concludes that Matt shot the deer and escaped through the highway as the act was illegal in the area, calming Dexter as the investigation seems to be over at his house. She then gets into a heated argument with Audrey for having left without notice. Later that night, Harrison asks Dexter why he left him. He reveals the letter that Dexter wrote to Hannah, telling her to write him if Harrison shows "dark tendencies." Dexter reveals that he left because of his past demons, hiding his secret life to Harrison. He promises to be a better father for him and Harrison agrees to stay for some time.

As the police authorities start leaving, Matt's father, Kurt (Clancy Brown), arrives at the scene. When Angela informs him of Matt's "actions", he doesn't believe it, as Matt would've contacted him. He then asks the authorities to continue looking for his son, citing that he helped them with his truck service. Angela decides to continue the investigation in the area, pleasing Kurt. Kurt meets with Dexter and Harrison, stating that he will find Matt. It's revealed that Matt's body parts are hidden beneath the firepit outside of Dexter's cabin.

Number24

Natsusa Yuzuki has been playing rugby as a left-winger ever since he was a child, and after enrolling in Doushisha University for college, he quickly becomes a rising star in the Kansai University League.

His dreams are shattered, however, when a nasty motorbike accident leaves him with a cervical herniated disk — making him unable to be able to play rugby ever again. Unwilling to let go of the sport completely and with no role available other than the position of the university team manager, he accepts his new post and hopes to help his squad obtain a league title.

Natsusa’s team is an unlikely bunch, including but not limited to his stoic best friend and full-back Seiichirou Shingyouji, whose reliability and consistency Natsusa depends on; hot-headed first-year Yasunari Tsuru, who harbors a strong dislike for Natsusa, filling his senior's old position as back left wing; and Yuu Mashiro, who is struggling to hold his ground as a scrum half.

In addition, a year ago, Ibuki Ueoka, the genius stand-off that was once Doushisha's ace, suddenly quit rugby — and now Natsusa is determined to get him back.

With the goal of strengthening the team he once belonged to as a player, Natsusa sets out to help Doushisha reach rugby nationals.


Triangle Strategy

Thirty years after the Saltiron War, Glenbrook and Aesfrost agree to share the newly discovered Grand Norzelian Mine in an effort to improve relations between the two countries. However, as Serenoa inspects the mines with Gustadolph's cousin Dragan, assassins attack and kill Dragan. Gustadolph then accuses Glenbrook of murdering Dragan, using his death as a pretext to stage a punitive campaign against Glenbrook and invading its capital. Serenoa and his party are too late to stop Gustadolph from killing King Regna and Prince Frani and capturing Princess Cordelia, leaving Roland as the sole heir to Glenbrook's throne. Determined to bring all of Glenbrook to heel, Gustadolph gives Serenoa an ultimatum: hand over Roland to him or face annihilation at the hands of his army. This represents the first of many choices Serenoa must make, including deciding on whether to enlist the aid of Hyzante to resist Aesfrost or collaborate with Aesfrost to repel an attempted invasion from Hyzante.

Eventually, Serenoa and his party are able to drive Aesfrost from Glenbrook, and he, Roland, Frederica, and Benedict go about trying to rebuild the kingdom. However, Roland is met with the cruel reality of being king, as he executes many of his own nobles for misappropriating reconstruction funds. Serenoa's father Symon manages to recover from his illness and reveals to him that he is actually King Regna's illegitimate son who was secretly adopted by the Wolffort family to cover up the scandal. Frederica discovers that her people, the Rosellans, are being used as slave labor to harvest salt in Hyzante due to their ancestors possessing knowledge of sources of salt outside of Hyzante, which would have threatened Hyzante's salt monopoly. They also discover that the Grand Norzelian Mine contains salt, which would allow whoever holds to it bypass Hyzante's salt monopoly.

It is at this point that Serenoa's comrades suggest differing plans of action. Roland advocates allying with Hyzante to destroy Aesfrost and avenge his family. Benedict recommends allying with Aesfrost to conquer Hyzante and break its hold over salt for good. Frederica implores him to help liberate the enslaved Rosellans and lead them back to their homeland of Centralia.

The Big Sea

''The Big Sea'' chronicles Hughes' late teens to twenties in the 1920s and early 1930s from the US across the Atlantic.

Life in the US and Mexico

Documenting what life was like for Hughes moving all over the eastern and central US as well as living in Mexico with his father, Hughes chronicled the drama and the violence that he experienced and saw as a young black man in anti-black countries. Over a few year span he decided he needed to move back to the US which created conflict with his father. Back and forth conflicts over financial assistance led Langston Hughes to search for a way to make his own money. He started out as an English tutor and became very popular. Soon he had enough money to move back to the US to stay with his mother and other family members. He also started college but he quickly decided it wasn't for him. Needing and wanting to make money he turned to odd jobs, eventually landing himself at a shipyard.

Life abroad

At the age of 21, Hughes boarded the ship S.S. ''Malone'' as a mess boy bound for West Africa. From 1922 to 1924 Hughes worked on the S.S. ''Malone'', experiencing many west African countries before returning to the US in 1925 to live with his mother in Washington DC. Gaining experience abroad influenced how Hughes moved through the US as a young adult; however, he did not stay long. Upon his second voyage across the Atlantic he stopped off in France and made his way to Paris with little to nothing in his pockets. He described those early days in Paris as initially exciting but the reality of having no money quickly weighed on him and he was forced to find cramped accommodations, sharing a room. Luckily his roommate was a kind and gentle dancer and she eagerly looked for employment as did Langston. His descriptions of the difficulties finding employment as a Black American who was not a singer, musician or dancer at the height of the Jazz Age in Paris showed the anti-foreign sentiment of the local Frenchmen. It is in his descriptions of the people he met abroad that gave his audience some of the most rich personalities in Montmartre and Paris. He chronicled his travels around Europe in search of employment and travel opportunities as well as opportunities to publish his poetry. He made multiple trips back and forth across the Atlantic, meeting many important figures in the Harlem Renaissance as well as some of the most celebrated stars of Paris.


Lizard Boy: The Musical

Trevor, a young man with green lizard scales on his skin, sits in his room and laments a failed relationship, attributing the breakup to his scales ("Trevor's Song"). Tired, he takes a nap and dreams of a strange woman singing hauntingly to him ("Overture"). When he awakens, he decides to download Grindr and soon receives a message from a stranger named Cary ("4th and Vine"). He contemplates his life so far ("Things I Want") and decides to agree to meet Cary.

When he arrives at Cary's apartment, Cary immediately starts flirting with him. However, he accidentally assumes that Trevor's scales are a costume for "Monster Fest" (the festival the city is celebrating that day), causing Trevor to feel insulted and leave. Desperate for him to stay, Cary improvises a song ("Cary's Song") and is able to convince Trevor to come back to his apartment. In Cary's apartment, Trevor sees a magazine with the face of the "Dream Girl" on the cover.

The scene flashes forward to the "Dream Girl" (Siren) performing "A Terrible Ride". When she finishes her set, she goes backstage and a curious Trevor follows, leaving Cary alone. Starstruck, Trevor asks if he can perform a song for her and she agrees.

The scene returns to Cary's apartment where the two men share a drink. Cary, being new to town, asks what Monster Fest is. Trevor reluctantly explains that it is a celebration of the defeat of the dragon that terrorised the city 20 years ago ("Recess"). He also mentions that when said Dragon was decapitated, Trevor and five other children wound up covered in its blood, which caused the scales to develop on his skin.

The scene returns to the club, where Siren is impatiently asking Trevor to perform. Simultaneously, Cary's conversation with Trevor plays, and both Siren and Cary urge Trevor to sing. Feeling confident, he plays ("Another Part of Me"), causing both Siren and Cary to feel a sense of connection to him.

As Siren and Trevor talk, Siren realises who Trevor really is and explains that she too is one of 6 children involved in the dragon incident. She explains that all the children involved developed superpowers. She believes that the dragons will return and overrun the city this year and enlists Trevor's help in defeating them ("A Myth to Live By").

Trevor refuses, stating that he is powerless, and decides to leave and find Cary. Siren threatens to kill him to obtain his powers if he doesn't help her just like she did to all the other children. When Trevor still tries to leave, she stops him with her "siren song". Fighting hard, Trevor is able to break free and leave but Siren makes chase.

Trevor finds Cary at a diner, eating by himself. When he tries to apologise, Cary dismisses him confessing how betrayed he felt when Trevor left with no explanation. Trevor once again tries to apologise, this time stating his faults and confessing that he sincerely wants to be friends with Cary ("Things I Worry About"). Cary accepts his apology and they decide to continue their date at the park ("The Woah Song"). Trevor goes in to kiss Cary, but suddenly feels a sharp pain on his back.

When he goes to check, he realises that there is a spike on his back that cut Cary and sees that he also accidentally cut one of his own fingers off while checking. Cary gets a bit woozy at the sight of the blood. Trevor mistakes the reaction for disgust because of his appearance and accuses Cary of being shallow and leaves. As he goes Cary reminds Trevor that he's being just as judgemental as he assumes others are ("Truth is What Matters"). As Cary leaves, Siren sees and captures him.

As Trevor heads home, he resolves to never leave his apartment again ("Lizard Boy"). As he reflects on the night, he realises he's about to throw away the only chance at a genuine friendship with someone who accepts him as he is. At the same time, he accidentally finds that he has telekinetic powers when he lifts a trash can with his mind. In this moment he decides to finally accept himself as he is.

He gets a text from Cary asking to meet at the Park again ("Sculpture Park"). He suddenly discovers that he is able to communicate with Siren on the astral plane and reveals that she was actually catfishing him using Cary's phone. She threatens to kill Cary causing Trevor to rush back to the park ("Take Me to Bed").

When he arrives at the park, Siren once again asks him to help her fight against the dragon, but he refuses again, still not believing her Dragon theory. He asks her why she murdered the others and she reveals that she did so to obtain their powers because they all refused to help her.

The two get in a big fight where Siren uses a body-controlled Cary to fight Trevor. Trevor does his best to dodge all the attacks ("The Fight"). Siren finally decides to make Cary turn his knife on himself, causing Trevor to suddenly yell out his own siren song to stop her. Unfortunately, he faints due to the strain. When he wakes up, Cary offers him a hand. But before he realises something is wrong, Cary stabs him and shapeshifts back into Siren. When the real Cary comes to Trevor's rescue, Siren knocks him out.

Before Siren can obtain Trevor's Powers, giant green wings sprout from Trevor's back and he rises off the ground, wounds healed. When Siren makes a final attempt to kill Trevor, their siren songs clash and Siren gets blasted against a wall and passes out. Trevor rushes over to Cary and mourns his loss ("I Was Gonna Call You Tomorrow"). Suddenly, Cary bursts back to life, having had some of Trevor's healing ability transferred to him by his spilt blood.

As the sun rises, the two hear a rumbling in the distance. The dragons have actually come. Trevor and Cary stand hand-in-hand and Siren rises to her feet and the three share a look and charge into battle.

What It Takes (Succession)

Kendall prepares to submit the paperwork he has retrieved on the cruises scandal to the Department of Justice. Lisa warns him that the documents may not be sufficient legal ammunition to build a winning case against Waystar, but Kendall refuses to listen.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Roys attend the Future Freedom Summit, a conservative political donor event in Richmond, Virginia, in search of a viable presidential candidate in the upcoming election in light of the current President choosing to step down. Logan primarily seeks a nominee who will temper the DOJ investigation into the cruises scandal and help Waystar survive against Big Tech. He and the Republican establishment lean towards Dave Boyer, the incumbent Vice President.

At the convention, Roman is surprised to learn from an attendee that his mother Caroline is getting married to British CEO Peter Munion, and that the family have been invited to their wedding in Tuscany; he and Shiv call Kendall to inform him of the news. Connor uses the event as an opportunity to advance his own presidential bid. Roman is approached by Congressman Jeryd Mencken, a controversial, right-wing online provocateur.

Late in the night, Tom – who has resigned himself to the fate of incarceration and is receiving little support from Shiv – takes an equally paranoid Greg to a nearby diner for the two to share their anxieties over their shared legal peril. Tom agrees to absorb responsibility for Greg's role in the cruises cover-up.

The next day, Kendall's DOJ testimony goes poorly; he expresses frustration at having to cooperate with federal authorities – whom Logan has worked to stall – instead of taking an aggressive approach against the company. Lisa, losing patience with Kendall, bluntly informs him that he performed poorly at the testimony and that his case against his father is weakening. Kendall later decides to fire Lisa and seeks out new legal representation.

Shiv is approached at the convention by Congressman Rick Salgado, a traditional conservative who suggests that as president, he can pave a path for Shiv to become CEO of Waystar. During the candidates' dinner, Boyer and Salgado come at odds with Mencken, whom Shiv detests due to his fascist leanings, though Mencken draws attention for being the only candidate to dismiss ATN as politically irrelevant.

Logan gathers his family to his suite to field opinions on the candidates. Shiv supports Salgado while Roman takes a liking to Mencken; Shiv's concern over Mencken's fascist agenda goes ignored. Connor advocates for himself, though the idea is quickly dismissed. Boyer is ruled out after Logan deems him weak and ineffectual.

Tom receives a call from Kendall, who has arrived in Virginia, to meet with him privately at the nearby diner. Kendall suggests that Tom can avoid incarceration if he testifies against Logan, but Tom refuses, telling Kendall he has watched him fail against his father too many times to believe in him now. Kendall takes a photo of Tom as he leaves to use as potential blackmail.

Roman meets with Mencken in the bathroom of Logan's suite to understand his political philosophy, and realizes that Mencken's extreme views and nationalist rhetoric can expand ATN's viewer demographics. Mencken agrees to take Waystar's support. In the suite, Roman suggests to Logan that Mencken's candidacy will earn ATN the advertising revenue Waystar needs to fend off Big Tech and acquire streaming giant GoJo. Logan is convinced and decides to back Mencken despite Shiv's protests. The next morning, Shiv reluctantly participates in a family photoshoot with Mencken on Logan's orders.
