I wish you wouldn't do that. Scares the

fish.

Well, when I hear the fish [ __ ] I'll

stop.

Damn rigger. Looks like y'all ain't

biting you skeers.

Yeah.

What was that?

Help us.

Help us.

Please help us. Help us.

Torque wrench.

Torque wrench.

You're doing this on purpose, aren't

you?

Well,

Will, look.

It's Mr. Reager.

Mr. Rager. Mr. Rager, what happened?

What happened? Can you talk?

He's called his eyes. Quick, go get some

blankets from the house. I'm going to

try and get him to the jeep.

Okay, just hold on. I'm going to get you

to the hospital.

Will.

Alec, I I can't talk right now. These

guys

I know. You must warn the town. The

cloud attacked the fisherman, and you

must warn as many people as you can, and

I must do what I can.

Hurry.

Come on.

Heat.

The swamp is my world. It is who I am.

It is what I am.

I was once a man. I know the evil men

do. Do not bring your evil here. I warn

you.

Beware the wrath of

Swamp Thing.

Hey everybody.

WAKE UP. EVERYONE wake up.

Wyatt's down.

It's an emergency.

Everybody, please get up. Wyatt's down

or I'll call the sheriff now.

Well, we'll never get everybody up in

time.

Fire station.

Let's go. Sheriff, I've already taken

two guys to the hospital already. Just

keep moving. Everything's fine. It's all

right.

Please, Sheriff. What is it, Ed? We got

a fire.

Sorry, folks, but what we got is a

couple of practical jokers. Everyone,

you're all in danger. We have to get out

of here. There's something on its way.

Right. Right. Come on now. You've had

your laugh.

There it is.

I just swamp mist.

Hold on, Sheriff.

Isn't that cloud moving toward us

against the wind?

That's impossible.

All right, come on, everybody. Off the

streets. Let's go.

Come on.

Dr. Arcane,

you take your life in your hands by

disturbing me here.

Something has happened.

Well, I like it. I think you'll love it.

Remain indoors. Put wet towels around

door cracks and windows. Wait for the

police to evacuate you to the disaster

relief center at

a fortune. Just hand it to me, Graham.

Think of the implications.

My destiny.

I need a sample.

Dr. Kane, I

Graham, do you think I would waste such

a valuable commodity as yourself? Take

one of my chemul

to the source of the cloud.

No, buzz off. Samples.

Incredible. Complete paralysis.

It shuts down major body functions one

at a time. The other fisherman is just

barely holding on.

I need options, Doc. It's killed two men

already.

Options. Evacuation.

I'm already working on it.

I'm setting her down.

You're the ones who set the siren off,

didn't you?

Yeah, I I uh I had to warn everybody.

I'm sorry. I

don't apologize. I was the jerk. More

than one fisherman would be dead by now

if it weren't for you.

Stop.

Can you talk?

Are you a doctor? I am the doctor.

Isn't this fascinating? Incredible.

Tell me, what are you feeling?

My chest hurts.

Yes.

And I have no feeling in my legs.

Am I getting better? Oh, yes.

Much, much better.

Ah, sheriff.

It would be a shame, wouldn't it, if

this tragedy were to pass without

mankind benefiting in some way.

What?

Samples. I need samples. Tissue samples,

blood cultures.

Maybe even a corpse or two.

Look around you, Arcane. I've got a

major emergency to take care of.

By now, let's not forget our little

arrangement, shall we?

I'll see what I can do.

Good.

Where's Dr. Thomas?

Excuse me, my dear. I won't be but a

second.

What are you doing, Arcane?

This is a medical emergency. Where else

would I be helping? You see, these pads

help me to determine the extent of the

infection.

Where's my husband?

Oh, beautiful.

The doctors are doing everything that

they can for. [laughter]

Really?

Please. They dragged me out of the

house. Joshua was in the woods. I

couldn't find him. Please, you have to

do something in the woods. Please.

Joshua's just a kid. We can't leave him

out there.

My men are dropping left and right. I

can't risk it. Choices have to be made.

I'm making one,

Will.

Graham.

Impossible. Your suit.

My suit.

Oh my [music] god. You can pass through

the chem suit.

Samples.

Well done.

Where are you, Holland?

[music] Every time I turn around, you're

in my face.

I have to stay awake.

I have to.

Your timing stinks, doctor.

You're here about the poisonous cloud?

Oh, no. I just thought it was a nice

night to go for a stroll.

Of course, I'm here about the BLOODY

CLOUD.

THERE'S NO MONEY TO BE MADE HERE,

ARCANE. LEAVE.

Damn you, Holland.

I'm not here about money.

You need me.

You precious town folk need me.

You need my mind and my intelligence to

help you beat this thing. Perhaps,

but why Arthur? You don't care about

anything but yourself.

All right. Damn you.

I don't want to die.

I don't see the point in this.

The mist is absorbed through the skin.

You must wash it off.

No.

The thought has not eluded me, Harlem.

But this is just so you can get your

kings.

Don't flatter yourself or insult me.

What else is there?

Neural shutdown has begun.

I'm losing my focus.

Chew on these. They'll clear your head

and give you energy.

Still prescribing drugs, Doc.

More like coffee. The effect is

temporary.

If you want to live, eat

Joshua.

Joshua.

Well, I think we ought to split up.

I don't like it.

I don't think we have any [music]

choice. Do you

Joshua?

JOSHUA.

The cloud's origin is from beneath the

swamp, below the limestone sediment.

Bubbling upward. From where? From what?

You should know, Arcane. You and your

kind have turned the groundwater into a

chemical cesspool.

Interesting. despite your sardonic

commentary.

Where does that leave us exactly?

Stumbling blindly in the swamp.

No. No.

These samples you brought me, they're

the key.

Well,

we better get started then, didn't we?

Yes. More people will be dying soon.

Oh, yes. Well, them, too.

Joshua

Joshua

Joshua.

No, no, no, no. Mere gas cannot be

capable of independent thought. It's a

ridiculous concept.

You must consider the possibility that

the mind is not that of the gas.

There, I told you it's not hemoglobin

centered.

The swamp is not capable of independent

Thor. I refuse to believe it.

Believe me, Arcane. I know it reacts. It

is reacting. Accept it. Well,

very well. I'll humor you.

What difference does it make anyway?

All the difference in the world right

now.

JOSHUA.

JOSHUA, it's Will.

I remember a long time ago

working on a reagent from an infected

bloodstream. And

your conclusions were all wrong. [music]

I improved on them after your

transformation.

And your conclusions? My conclusions

were obvious to anyone who didn't have

moss for brain. Nothing personal.

Your improvements were at [music] my

expense, Arcane.

Don't make light of it.

We must get back to work.

I, Captain Bloodbeard, be the one to

button these hatches before the

Spaniards overtake.

Maybe we best be put in the park,

captain. The fog be rolling in.

Everything I've ever strived for

ended by swamp gas. Is irony for you?

Yes. After all these years of trying to

destroy the swamp.

To hell with your bloody swamp. Let me

set you straight about something, Alec.

It was never my intention to destroy

your precious habitat. My experiments

are for a higher cause than destruction.

If the swamp survives, fine. If it

doesn't, fine. It's of little

consideration compared to the benefits

and the potential advancement of

knowledge of mankind.

Do try to see the big picture, old bean,

and wealth. Personal wealth. Well, even

the Messiah deserves compensation for

his thorny crown. Besides, you now have

the perfect opportunity to end all that.

You have simply to do nothing, and I

die.

Joshua,

Abby, want to play pirates?

No, honey. Not right now. Listen to me,

Josh. Your father is sick. He's very

sick. And he sent me here to find you.

Mom would have told me if he was sick.

It

happened real suddenly. Josh, look. Your

mom, she took him to the hospital, but

she really needs you to help her.

Lower the main shield, Captain. I'm

going ashore.

Hey, Josh. Honey, wait. Honey, you see

that smoke over there?

That smoke is bad. It's very bad, and

it's what made your papa sick. Okay. So,

we have to stay away from that cloud.

Okay.

Okay, you're going to have to climb on

my shoulders.

Okay, that's a good boy.

Okay.

Okay, you ready?

Let's go,

Abigail.

Come on, Abigail.

Hey, pirates aren't scared. Pirates can

do anything.

Everything's going [music] to be fine,

Josh.

You

know, if it hadn't been for this route

of yours, I would have been comeomaos

long ago. I don't mind telling you. I'm

buzzed. If I could sneak this past the

FDA, I could put the coffee makers out

of business. Make a bloody fortune.

No, no, no. Not that one. The Bulana

vine first, then the Sandria. The order

is important. I figured that one out

while you were doing your swamp thing.

Very good, Arcane. Average for my mental

agility.

This can't be my lot.

I refuse to die without a monument

befitting my accomplishments. How dare

your swamp gas presume to end my life?

Yes.

Damn it. I am a genius.

Come on, Abigail.

No, Will, stay there. Okay, just get

back. It's after me. But

please, Will. Please, Will, don't. I

don't know how much longer I can hold

him.

Abigail.

No. Will you have starting to move away?

Will

or We'll take him.

Abigail. Abigail. Oh no. God know.

Oh no.

This should be enough to take care of

the town. A small amount is all that is

needed.

Well, you do have one small problem, my

chlorophyll companion. [clears throat]

The entire town is on his back by now.

There's no way I could inject everybody,

no matter what the amount.

No, there is a way.

What?

Mosquitoes.

Millions of tiny syringes.

How do you do that?

They will deliver the injections to the

town. I

must credit you with the second greatest

mind I've ever known. However, you have

made rather a large blunder. That little

expenditure of energy has left you

helpless. And as soon as my serum takes

effect,

Arcane, how are the mosquitoes treating

you?

They've been biting me all night.

Wait a minute. Nothing's bitten me in

the last few. Nothing's bitten me. Damn

you. Here, my encpholytic little

friends, take a bite.

Make them bite me, damn you.

Okay, Holland, you proven your point.

You have samples of the poisonous cloud

in your bag.

Give them up.

There.

Happy. Now make them bite me. Damn you.

I demand.

Your body is cured. Arcane.

I must go.

Alec.

Alec, please. Alec, you have to help

Abigail. Alec.

Alec.

I'm here. Will,

bring her back.

I can't.

What do you mean you can't? I know you

can. Damn it. You help Abigail.

Will, [music] you must understand

something about the swamp.

I don't want to understand anything

about the swamp. I just want Abigail

back. Her death stopped the killing

cloud.

I don't understand.

To bring her back would undo her greater

destiny.

She's gone, but she'll always be around

you here in the swamp.

Let her go, Will.

Let the swamp welcome her.

Heat. Heat.

Hey. [music]

Hey. Hey.
