Previously on Swamp Thing...

Cheer up, buttercup. It worked.

Forgive me if I don't gloat
over the death of my husband.

Maybe if I put in a good word,

you might wanna do me a favor.

A favor?

You did this on purpose to me?

Yes, and it worked.

The cure for your Alzheimer's
rests in the cells

that I saw under that microscope.

Have you seen my pills?

I thought I set them on the counter.

That's 'cause you already took them.

I'm slowly losing my mind.

Dr. Arcane.

We're here to discuss
one of your patients.

Alec Holland.

He needs to be brought in for treatment.

- What do you mean?
- Things could get violent.

Stay the fuck away from Alec.

Do you think it's
possible to cure Holland?

Do you want to cure the
goose of laying golden eggs?

That man saved my life.

I suggest that we
let him save millions more.

Move in.

What...

Who's there?

It's okay. It's just me.

I'm so sorry.

Your clothes... You're a muddy mess.

Where have you been?

It's all right.

I... I had to go to the swamp, remember?

That awful place?

Yeah, I have to. But just for a bit.

You're leaving again?

I found it.

I found it, Caroline.

A specimen more incredible
than anything I dared imagine.

What's wrong?

- Hey, hey, hey.
- No...

Hey...

Why are you trembling?

I... I had a nightmare.

That's all right.

I'm here with you now.

It was dark.

I was outside.

I could hear...

water...

insects.

I was looking for you.

I kept calling your name.

Jason...

Jason...

_

But you never answered.

I was so afraid something
had happened to you.

And then I saw a man,

lying on the ground.

He wasn't moving.

He looked dead.

It was all just a bad dream, Caroline.

The doctor said that you might
be experiencing more of them as...

- I remember, Jason...
- Darling, please.

Now what I want you to do is

just forget all about it, eh?

Take your morning
medication before you go.

Finish your reading.

And later, when I'm
back, we can celebrate.

If what I suspect is true,

all of this confusion,

feeling all this misery
of this awful disease.

I'll be able to make it all go away.

- Hmm.
- Just like I promised.

Okay?

Okay.

Jason, wait.

The man in my dream...

I was afraid because
I thought it was you.

But when I got closer, I
realized it wasn't you.

It was a...

monster.

The Anatomy Lesson

Liz?

Jeez, I thought you'd be back hours ago.

Alec's missing.

What?

I went out to the water
to find him, but he was gone.

I found these not far from the lab.

- Fired recently.
- Yeah.

It was like a war zone.

I found these tracks in mud

like something big
had been dragged away.

I think someone's taken him, Liz.

- You think the CDC's involved?
- No, no, no.

This goes way, way beyond Atlanta.

Harlan's been reassigned.

I've been kicked off
my own investigation.

Suddenly people are showing up

and asking questions about Alec Holland.

They knew about his condition,

about his regenerative abilities.

I don't... I don't... Who
even knows Holland's...

Woodrue. Has to be.

I...

I gave him a tissue
sample before I left.

So, what are we dealing with?

I don't care.

I'm not giving up on Alec.

I know that I've completely
turned your life upside down.

I know. But if...

you could please help me...

- ... I could really use it right now, Liz...
- Look, Abby.

You and me, seventh grade.

I... It was a long time ago.

Not so long.

We were walking home from school

and this pick-up drives by

and the driver yells
something disgusting at me.

The other kids we were
with just laughed it off.

You got the license plate

and then I got it published
in the Weekly.

- My first story, actually.
- Mmm-hmm.

Yeah.

You always had my back,
Abby, and I got yours.

Okay.

So, what's the plan?

Woodrue could know where they took Alec.

And then?

Haven't got that far yet.

Make sure he's damn good and secure.

Yes, sir.

Don't! Don't touch it.

You could contaminate the specimen.

Well, are you sure that he...

it's still alive?

Plant seeds have survived

the most extreme climates imaginable,

only to germinate years,
even centuries later.

And these lights?

Green spectrum.

It's been known

to inhibit plant growth.

Should the need arise,

it'll slow the creature's
regenerative capabilities.

You mean, if the poor bastard wakes up.

Fortunately for everyone
involved, it's highly unlikely.

The lab is all powered up.

And backup generators
are set just in case.

Anything else?

Yes, for you to leave.

You got it all figured out, huh?

How long do you think it'll take

to do your initial assessment?

Less time if I'm alone.

I got a few things I
need to attend to anyway.

You let me know what you find out.

We'll let you thaw out a little.

Then I'll have a look under the hood.

Who's...

Who... Who's there?

Whew. Time flies, doesn't it, Daniel?

You?

The studio guy.

I'm really sorry about all this.

Sorry?

You're the reason I'm stuck here.

That's kind of a matter of
perception, don't you think?

Speaking of which...

There's something you need to see.

What the...

Liz.

Liz?

Shh.

We have to hide.

Go check it out.

Over here.

Spread out.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Let's go.

Electrical room.

Hey...

Hey, wait a second, guys.

Show yourselves.

Guys?

Last chance.

Don't shoot.

My name is Dr. Abigail
Arcane, I'm with the CDC.

We are not a threat.

Please put your guns down.

Take them.

Abby, go!

What's happening?

You're seeing the future.

Or more precisely, one possible future,

that only you can change.

Back in the shadow of
the Sunderlands again.

Yeah, I know.

Yes?

Ms. Woodrue?

It's Doctor.

Yes, I'm Dr. Caroline Woodrue.

Uh, I'm Dr. Abby Arcane.
This is my friend, Liz.

Um, is your husband home?

There's something we really
need to speak to him about.

My husband...

Is he all right?

Um...

Yeah, we're just...
We're trying to find him.

Is it okay if we come in for a moment?

I was, uh, making...

tea.

I'm sorry, did you say that
you're friends of Jason's?

Yes, we met a few days
ago at Marais General.

Jason is analyzing a
sample I brought in.

What's that sound?

Um, Doctor, I, uh...

I don't wanna pry...

Have you been taking your medication?

Medication?

Yes. Of course.

Every morning.

Okay.

Abby?

Caroline, did Jason go
to the swamp last night?

I hate the swamp.

I hate what this awful
place is doing to Jason.

He doesn't have many friends, you know.

Yeah, I understand
how hard that might be.

But I also have a friend,
his name is Alec Holland,

and I'm afraid Jason might
do something terrible to him.

So, I need to speak to him.

I'm sorry.

Did I offer you any tea?

No, Doctor.

Um, I'd like to check
back in on you if I can.

I'd like that.

Okay.

Jason...

Jason's always been a brilliant man.

Maybe a little too
brilliant for his own good.

When you find him...

try to understand.

Everything he's done...

everything he's doing...

it was for me.

- Is she...
- Yeah.

Advanced-stage Alzheimer's.

Woodrue is not doing her any favors

by bringing her here or
leaving her in that house alone.

We find him, you can tell him.

Beginning vivisection on
subject identified as Holland, A.

Subject has sustained massive trauma

from multiple gunshot
wounds and nitrogen freezing.

On examination,

all visible epidermis
appears to be infested

with plant-like fibers and spores.

Hmm.

Shall we?

Subject's tissue has
hardened dramatically.

Indeed, "tissue" may
not be the correct term

for such a peculiar
type of dermis at all.

I have now completed the Y-incision.

Now continuing through the
subject's epidermal layers.

What are you doing to me?

I checked with the hospital staff

and no one's seen Woodrue
since this morning.

This is the photo you took?

Yeah. He or someone made notes on it.

Okay. This reads like

what you'd need to set up
a mobile medical facility.

Okay.

We need to take a step back.

If someone's taken Holland,
they're holding him somewhere,

somewhere off the beaten path.

Wait a second.

_

Real estate? What...

Sunderland properties. Woodrue
was working for Avery, so...

Ah, so, Avery could've
provided the location.

_

Maria Sunderland's
consolidating her holdings?

Yeah. These are
filings for sole ownership

of all these properties,
all in the last 48 hours.

I wonder what Avery thinks of that.

There, look.

Sunderland's old cement plant.

This is it.

Why would a biologist be
looking for an abandoned factory?

Because he has something to hide.

Why are you doing this?

Well, you might say

that I'm completing Alec
Holland's study into the mutagen.

I feel it all.

I'm not sure how
you're feeling anything.

I've found no nerve or
pain receptors to speak of.

But allow me to keep looking.

No. Stop!

Remarkable.

These are your lungs.

Only they're not lungs.

Human lungs have capillary tubes

that let the oxygen pass
through into the blood.

They're something else entirely.

The same with your heart.

It doesn't contract,
it doesn't pump blood.

In fact, it doesn't appear
to do much of anything.

But this is curious.

Your vascular system, and
I use that term advisedly,

appears to run through your heart.

But why?

None of these organs serve

any discernible function whatsoever.

Yet, here you are, speaking
to me even now, without them.

You're not making any sense.

You believed that, uh,

the disease that
infected Marais' citizens

made you into what you are.

But that is not possible.

That's why I'm this way.

No. No, it isn't.

No, it isn't.

After the explosion,

your body must have mixed in
with the mutagenic plant matter

and the plants somehow absorbed

Alec Holland's memories.

His consciousness, if you will.

A human consciousness

that remembered having, uh,
lungs, a heart, arms, and legs.

And the plants did their
best to replicate them.

I don't understand.

No. You're not a man at all.

You're a plant...

that thinks it's a man.

No!

Why would you show me that?

Why did you show me Dr.
Arcane and Liz dying?

Why do you think?

Is that really gonna happen?

There are infinite futures.

Am I supposed to do
something about that one?

Daniel.

Did you really think

that you were just gonna play
the Blue Devil in a film?

Blue Devil is a character.

A hero in a movie who gets his powers

from a demonic suit.

It's a movie!

Oh, no.

He's so much more than that.

And so are you.

Do you remember when I asked you

if you were satisfied with your life?

It's Cassidy, right? Stunts?

Yeah.

Would you say that you
feel satisfied with things?

The answer was revealing.

It's too bad casting only
looks at me like a stunt man.

I'd give anything to have that role.

So, you think you're doing me a favor?

I didn't ask for any of this.

If I could get out of
these restraints, I'd...

You'd what?

You'd what?

I'd leave this nothing swamp town.

Go fix your future yourself.

I can't exactly do that.

Why not?

You're just gonna leave
Abby and Liz to die?

It's not up to me.

Goodbye, Mr. Cassidy.

Hey, hold up.

You're just gonna leave?

What am I supposed to do?

Whatever you want.

Life's a journey, Mr. Cassidy,
and for what it's worth, I...

I almost envy yours.

Great.

No, no, no, no, no.

This is not my journey.

My journey was a cross-country
trip back to frigging Malibu.

I don't believe this.

I can't believe this.

Hmm.

I only got $640 a day to play you.

It all happened so fast,

I don't think I ever
really nailed the character.

Maybe this time, I'll
finally get you right.

Maria Sunderland for
Nathan Ellery, please.

Yes, again.

A message?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I
would like to leave a message.

Tell him...

Tell him he's not dealing
with my husband anymore.

Tell him Avery was
plagued by... limitations.

And his wife is not so predisposed.

I expect to hear from
Mr. Ellery immediately.

Maria.

Avery.

- I didn't expect to...
- Oh, I'm sure you didn't.

Now just... stay calm.

We are only here to help you.

Doctor?

Who's this?

Dr. Dennis Barclay, from the
Barclay Psychiatric Institute.

Mrs. Sunderland, why
don't we come this way?

Right here is fine.

Very well.

Maria Sunderland, I have received
a court order, duly authorized,

to place you in a
secure holding facility

while awaiting a full
psychiatric evaluation.

You have no right.

A recent incident involving Dr.
Abigail Arcane and a young child

who'd been in your charge.

This was the hardest
decision I've ever made,

but you know this is
the right thing, Maria.

Oh, my God.

No!

It would be best
if you didn't 'cause a fuss.

God damn you, Avery.

It's okay, honey.

I'm back now,

and we're going to make sure
you get the help you need.

No.

No!

You men take good care of her now.

I just want my beautiful Maria back.

Hey, Matty.

Thought you were working tonight.

Taking a personal day.

Hmm.

Saw your mom in here earlier.

Looked like you two were
really getting into it.

Just not sure how I feel
about the job right now.

That'd be every day for
me if I worked for my mom.

I couldn't imagine.

Man, she was one tough lady.

Still miss her, don't you, Del?

Every damn day.

Listen, son,

no matter how hairy it
gets between you two,

you gotta know Lucilia's
always looking after you.

Yeah, well, sometimes I wonder.

Come on, can't be that bad.

Maybe you ought to give her a call.

Yeah, I'll get right on that.

I tell you what, why don't you get me

another one of these when
you get a chance, huh?

I thought this place was deserted.

Been locked up for years.

Oh, my God. It is
a mobile medical facility.

Alec has to be in
there. I'm going inside.

You can't just charge in there.

These guys have guns.

Yeah, if they move Alec out of
Marais, I will never find him.

There should be a hole in
the fence, around the side,

that leads to a back door.

I used to come smoke with my Uncle Luc

back when he worked nights here.

Don't tell Pops.

Promise.

We're good.

Where the hell are they keeping him?

Are you seeing this?

Yeah.

They're leading us to Alec.

Shit.

We have to hide.

Go check it out!

Let's start with the electrical room.

- Show yourselves.
- They know we're in here.

Last chance.

We just lost all power.

Drag 'em out.

Yes, sir.

My comms are down.

The hell?

Lost all contact.

Just open fire.

What are they shooting at?

I don't know!

- What the fuck is that?
- Let's go.

- Where'd it go?
- Where is he?

What are we looking at?

I don't got eyes. I don't got eyes.

- Shit.
- Fuck!

I don't like this, guys.

What are we doing?

Shit, where's he coming from? Where?

There!

Fuck me.

Time to go, Doc!

- I'm not finished yet. Wait.
- We don't have time for this.

You have to get the
specimen out of here.

It's covered. We're relocating
to a lab in Northern Maryland.

I'll collect my wife and meet you there.

Get to your car and go.

It's... the devil.

The fuck?

Oh, my God.

What the fuck was that?

I don't know.

We have to go find Alec.

It's like a goddamn warzone.

He's close.

Alec!

Alec!

That's Holland?

Abby.

What did they do to you?

We have to get you out of here.

Can you move?

The light...

The light... The light...

Look what these monsters did to him.

You came for me.

Who did this to you?

Woodrue and Sunderland.

To them, I was just a specimen.

I have to go back to the cove.

- I have to know if it's true.
- Wait...

Alec... Alec.

You have to know if what's true?

Back to the cove?

He means Skeeter Cove,
where his boat exploded.

Why go back there?

It's gone?

Oh, no.

I'm going to follow him.

I... I have to be with him, Liz.

Then I'll figure out
who those guys were.

That blue thing included.

- Okay.
- Hey.

Be careful.

You too.

You've gotta be fucking kidding me.

Caroline?

Sweetheart?

You'll never guess what I found.

It's the answer that we've
been searching for since...

since you were first diagnosed.

Organic processes,

capable of... not only
regenerating tissue, but thoughts,

consciousness and...

memories.

Caroline?

Caroline?

Caroline?

Couldn't you hear me?

Remember... to take...

your medication...

Caroline, what did you do?

- I remembered... to take...
- No, no, no, no.

You took them all?

Oh, Caroline!

Caroline. Caroline!

No, no, no...

You can't breathe.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

I should have been here.

I should have been here.

Just give me a few minutes
to talk to my wife, would you?

White's always been
a good color for you.

I don't know what's more impressive.

That you're still alive,

or that you managed to
get me in here at all.

Which judge did you bribe?

Judge Murray took pity on my situation.

The fact that he owed me a
favor or two didn't hurt but...

But I just want to see
you get better, honey.

- When Ellery finds out about this...
- Ellery?

What makes you think that Ellery

is going to help you?

He told me that you tried to cut me out.

Now, the only way you would've thought

that a plan like that would work...

is if you had made a deal...

with Lucilia.

Wow.

You must be pleased with yourself.

I take no pleasure in this.

I just want to know why.

Why'd you do it?

Just when all my hard
work was about to pay off.

All of the lies.

Getting other people
to do your dirty work.

And all the nights you spent with her.

You should be grateful
I didn't do it sooner.

It's a shame it has to end like this

after all we've been through.

You could've stood by my side

when we reached the mountaintop.

This isn't over yet.

Oh, I think we both know it is.

Soon as this door closes behind me.

Alec, please, please, please talk to me.

Why did you want to come back here?

Because I have to know for sure.

You have to know what?

Alec. Alec, please, please talk to me.

Alec!

Alec, please talk to me!

Alec...

I am so sorry.

This is Alec Holland.

No.

This "thing"...

is what I am.

Alec Holland is dead.
