Balthazar eviscerated Takmet's mid-section with his sword, claiming: "For your father." Atop the palace roof after a vicious fiery sword-fight against Memnon, Mathayus was shot in the back with an arrow (while shielding the Sorceress), but he recovered, painfully pulled the arrow from his wound, and put it in his own bow to shoot at Memnon ("Catch this!") - the torpedo-like force of the arrow's hit in Memnon's mid-section propelled him off the roof to his death below.His only possession was a collection of family photographs and letters, with the name of his widowed aunt, Lady Murasaki-Lecter (Gong Li) [she had lost her entire family when a bomb fell on Hiroshima in 1945].Everyone was devastated and sorrowful about her loss.In Washington DC, the President's televised nationwide speech (about a "growing threat within our own population") from his office was interrupted when the lights went out (and the forces of nature were controlled by Storm).The hero's first words express his metaphysical angst: "Ouch, ouch." In a comfortable, well-lit, San Francisco hillside apartment [near North Beach, ostensibly with a view from Vallejo and Jones streets, although truly located at Montgomery and Union streets], a commercial artist/lingerie designer Marjorie "Midge" Wood (Barbara Bel Geddes), a blonde woman with an unflattering pair of glasses, is working at her drafting table easel in her studio/living room.One of these seventy-seven men was Staff Sergeant Raymond Shaw.Raymond Shaw was returned from combat and flown directly to Washington to be decorated personally by the President of the United States.
