Lena's main character's life seems perfect... from the outside: favorite job, gorgeous appearance, famous and wealthy husband. In fact, she had long been tired of playing the role of a socialite, and her love for her husband had irrevocably passed. One day Lena meets a man in a museum who evokes the strongest feelings in her from the very first minute. It's then that she remembers a prediction she heard from a random fortune teller many years ago...

An American veteran travels to the Middle East searching for peace after suffering the horrors of the Civil War and the ridicule of his peers over his 'Crazy uncle William's prediction' that the world would end in 1844. What he finds helps him solve a mystery that plagued his family and solves a mystery that had baffled scholars for centuries.

When crime reporter Ruby Herring receives clues to a murder that happened five years earlier involving a local psychic, she joins forces with Detective Jake Killian to help crack the case.

Predictions underlie nearly every aspect of our lives, from sports, politics, and medical decisions to the morning commute. With the explosion of digital technology, the internet, and 'big data,' the science of forecasting is flourishing. But why do some predictions succeed spectacularly while others fail abysmally? And how can we find meaningful patterns amidst chaos and uncertainty? From the glitz of casinos and TV game shows to the life-and-death stakes of storm forecasts and the flaws of opinion polls that can swing an election, 'Prediction by the Numbers' explores stories of statistics in action. Yet advances in machine learning and big data models that increasingly rule our lives are also posing big, disturbing questions. How much should we trust predictions made by algorithms when we don't understand how they arrive at them? And how far ahead can we really forecast?

Oleg (Oleg Basilashvili) is in for a really strange time, that much is clear. Of course, just the fact of his desire to visit a gypsy fortuneteller in the first place is an indication of that. He's well past middle age, in his 50s, and is an established, well-known writer. When the fortuneteller told him the same thing (you will have an unusual time), he didn't really believe her. However, when he runs into a 25-year old man in his apartment claiming the same parentage, profession, name and birthday - as well as having a scar over his eye identical to the one older Oleg has, it seems like the prediction has already come true - but it is just beginning. Oleg the younger (Andrei Sokolov) says he's leaving for Israel in the morning, but between then and now, he's at Oleg the older's disposal. For some reason, the presence of this near-doppelganger lends the older man courage and recklessness unlike anything he ever had before, and as he sets things right and gets revenge for previous slights, strange adventures abound. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

这部特别纪录片追踪地震侦探寻找最终线索：地震即将来临的迹象。如果他们能破解这个代码，每年可能拯救成千上万的生命。 长期以来被视为地震学的圣杯，地震是少数仍无法预测的自然灾害之一，但技术的进步 – 以及现在的人工智能 – 可能让我们比以往更接近成功预测。 在印度，一对开创性的夫妻团队在卡奇沙漠展开了一场冒险，寻找可能提供线索的天然气。同时，在日本，科学家们正在海底下钻探数千公里，以了解更多关于南海海槽的信息，这是一个威胁日本社会未来的地震断层线。 在中国西安，科学家们相信他们正处在突破的边缘。通过监测地球重力的异常变化，他们确信能够预测下一次大地震的发生时间。
