Lorsqu'ils se rendent compte de leur erreur, ils repartent en catastrophe et vont au chalet où ils auraient dû aller depuis le début. Mais ils ont oublié leur provision de vodka. Ils fraternisent avec un officier de la marine russe qui les aide à convaincre un sous-marinier spécialiste des opérations clandestines de les transporter discrètement dans les eaux finlandaises pour les débarquer là où ils ont laissé leur vodka. La police est déjà sur les lieux (le propriétaire a voulu ouvrir un hotel et y servir la vodka de contrebande qu'il a découverte chez lui, mais il s'est fait arrêter par la police). La vodka est récupérée, mais pour échapper à la police, ils doivent utiliser la vodka comme carburant supplémentaire. Ils réussissent finalement à rentrer chez eux.

Brutus fait enlever Panoramix pour qu'il lui prépare de la potion magique. Ce dernier fait mine de céder mais ajoute à la potion un colorant qui montre, à l'issue de la course, que Brutus à usé d'une substance illicite pour améliorer ses performances. La victoire de ce derner est donc annulée. Brutus ayant fait de son mieux pour éliminer tous les autres adversaires durant la course, Alafolix gagne donc l'épreuve. Alafolix et Irina se marient à la fin des jeux.

The reason NASA went to the Moon is to explore the wreck of an alien ship (which happens to contain a weapon that could have ended the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons). In the present, the Autobots discover a fuel cell from that ship in Chernobyl, leading them to learn about the wreck on the moon and the retrieval of part of the weapon and of Sentinel Prime (revived by Optimus thanks to the gadget found in the previous movie), the inventor of the weapon and the only one who knows how to use it. It turns out that Sentinel was actually allied with the Decepticons because he thought it was the only way to end the war. His plan is to use the weapon (actually a long-distance transport system) to take Cybertron to the Earth and use the humans as slaves to rebuild it. An endless battle in Chicago (where the Decepticons are installed) ensues, and is won only because Sam's new girlfriend manages to turn Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, against Sentinel (by whom he feels his authority is threatened).

The Fallen is a Decepticon that has been hiding far away in the solar system and wants to find the key to a device, hidden somewhere on Earth, that would destroy the sun and produce energon. The Decepticons are chasing Sam because he got infused with a bit of the All Spark, has visions of symbols (of the language of the Primes) that can lead him to the key and is now the only one who can actually find the key. The autobots are protecting Sam, but Optimus Prime is killed. Sam then looks for the key that should allow to ressuscitate Optimus. They finally locate the key in Egypt. After a long battle for the control of the device (located at the top of a pyramid), Sam manages to save Optimus Prime while the army destroys the device.

The dying master of the powerful Poison Clan asks his last pupil Yang De to find his five predecessors who have been taught five different styles of kungfu: the Centipede, the Snake, the Scorpion, the Lizard and the Toad. Their names and whereabouts are unknown (they don't even all know each other), but the master worries that some of them might have used their skills to do evil, and that they are especially after the treasures hold by yet another, much older student. The Centipede is seen by a witness at the house of the oldest pupil, who has been found dead with his whole household the next morning. Officers He and Ma investigate and find clues that they were killed by the Centipede and the Snake, and that the yet unknown Scorpion has got the map to the treasure. The Toad then helps the helpless policemen to arrest the Centipede. But the judge in charge of the affair, a friend of the Snake, sends He on a bogus errand and corrupts the witness into telling that he saw the Toad and not the Centipede that night. The Toad is then “suicided” in his cell by a corrupt policeman, who is himself later killed by the Centipede, as is the witness. When He comes back, he meets Yang De and together they decide to take down the Centipede and the Snake. Officer Ma tags along, and reveals himself to be the Scorpion. The three evildoers are eventually killed by the two remaining heroes.

They are chased by an unnamed Alliance agent, and find refuge on the Firefly by becoming passengers of the ship. Reynolds, the ship's captain who had fought during the failed rebellion agains the Alliance, has to resort to raiding banks for survival. At a bar, River receives a subliminal message and starts fighting everyone until her brother shouts a secret keyphrase that makes her sleep. Reviewing recordings of the incident with the help of a hacker, Mr. Universe, they notice that River said “Miranda” before starting to fight. Reynolds wants to get rid of the unpredictable River and her brother, but he is then contacted by the Alliance agent who makes clear he wants to kill River. Malcolm refuses to surrender her. The agent then kills all the people who have helped Malcolm in the past. River then tells Reynolds where to find Miranda, an planet marked as unhabitable. To go there, they have to cross a region of space controlled by the Reavers, mad humans who raid ships and eat people alive. They disguise the Firefly as an ship that has already been a victim of the Reavers, and manage to reach Miranda. Upon landing there, the crew of the Firefly discovers that the planet is perfectly habitable, but all its inhabitants are dead, bearing no sign of fight or pain. They later find a recording explaining that the Alliance has tried a drug that would make people more peaceful, but it just made people completely inactive, and they eventually died. One small fraction reacted in the opposite way and became the Reavers. Reynolds then decides to broadcast the message through Mr. Universe's equipment, but the agent knows what he intends to do and is waiting for him with a whole fleet. Reynolds attracts the Reavers's ships that are around Miranda and unleashes them on the Alliance's fleet. The Firefly then lands on Mr. Universe's planet. The crew barricades itself to hold the attacking Reavers back, Mr. Universe has already been killed by the agent, but after a fight with the latter, Reynolds manages to broadcast the message and let the truth about the scheme of the Alliance be revealed.

Conclusion to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1

Harry and his friends have rescued Griphook from the clutches of Voldemort, and now ask him to help them break into Beatrix Lestrange's vault at Gringotts. They find another horcrux, made from Helga Hufflepuf's cup, which they destroy as soon as they have escaped from Gringott, flying away on its guarding dragon. They then return to Hogwarts, where a vision of Voldermort's told Harry that another horcrux is hidden there. They guess it is Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, which had been lost for centuries. Harry's return seeds a revolt in the school, which is soon attacked by the Deatheaters. Thanks to the ghost of Rowena's daughter, Harry understands that the diadem is in the room of requirements, and manages to get it and destroy it. The attack on the school is terrible, and Voldermort calls off the attack but asks Harry to surrender. While looking for Voldemort's snake Nagini (which is the last horcrux), the three heroes witness Voldemort killing Snape for the control of the Elder wand, but Snape still manages to give some memories to Harry. The latter thus learns that Snape had been in love with his mother for a long time, and had always been working for Dumbledore. He also learns that when Voldemort failed to kill him as a baby, a piece of his soul went into Harry, making him a horcrux as well ; Harry must thus die for Voldemort to be able to be killed. Harry then meets Voldemort, but doesn't really die when hit by the latter's curse: instead, he discusses with Dumbledore in some kind of limbo. When Voldermort and his troops enter a devastated Hogwarts carrying Harry's body, the latter escapes and eventually duels with Voldemort. Neville Longbottom, who had found Griffindor's sword in the sorting hat (that was lying among the rubble), kills Nagini, rendering Voldemort mortal. The latter's curse rebounds on him, finally killing him. Harry catches the Elder wand and decides to destroy it. In the epilogue, nineteen years later, Harry and Ginny's kids, accompanied by Ron and Hermione's board the Hogwarts Express at King's Cross Station.
