I told you we should have stayed in town

after that reunion. Right now, we could

be in a nice warm hotel bed. You heard

me.

I heard you.

No, you didn't.

I said I did. I don't suppose you'd want

to give me a helping hand, would you?

Italian leather? I don't think so,

darling.

Just checking to see if your standards

had lowered in the last hour.

Not since our wedding. How long have we

been here?

My Rolex stopped during the crash.

Seems like years. How am I supposed to

explain being late to the office? My

dear husband Barry fell asleep at the

wheel.

I did not fall asleep at the wheel, my

little Pyano.

Most of our out of state visitors like

to photograph the gators when they come

to Huma. But don't be

Hey, WE'RE OVER HERE. WE'RE STUCK IN THE

MUD.

Could you just wait here for a sec?

Listen, we've been here for hours.

BMW.

It's an 81. Like it

folks. Tour's over. I'm going have to

call the police.

We're dead.

Heat. 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.

Daphne and Barry Scott disappeared 10

years ago almost to the day. Presume

dead.

10 years. Did you hear that? Did you

hear it?

I'm dead. Not deaf.

Would have never been found if it

weren't for that big storm last week.

Too bad. Looks like the guy just fell

asleep at the wheel.

We're still here.

WAIT a minute.

What's the matter?

I don't know. I

I can't I can't go on. I can't go on.

I can't go on.

Maybe we're stuck here with the car.

After all, it is where we died.

I knew you fell asleep.

That's not what happened. Think I was

adjusting the rearview mirror and there

were lights.

Somebody was tailgating us. Now I

remember. Damn it. Somebody deliberately

ran us off the road.

Honey, a lot of people fall asleep at

the wheel and die. It's nothing to be

ashamed of.

Dafany, look at this. Do you see this?

Do you see this? We were murdered.

We have a visitor.

Oh my god. What is it?

Who are you?

You can see us. Maybe we're not dead. I

mean, if he can see us.

No, you are dead.

Who asked you?

I can see you because I am of the swamp

as well. Is this where everyone goes

when they die?

This is not Club Dead, dear.

Excuse me. I'm not as up on these things

as you seem to be. Maybe this isn't what

you look like after you die. No offense.

Sorry. My name is Barry.

Barry Scott, and this is my beloved

wife, Daphany. And you are?

Call me Alec. I'm a friend and I am not

dead. But you must accept the fact that

you are and that you must have some

unfinished business in this world.

either to atone for a crime or to write

a wrong.

Well, Alec, it seems like um

10 years ago uh we were driving back

from my 20-year class reunion from high

school and uh we hold it at Huma cuz

many of us like to fish. And the 30th

year reunion is being held there this

week.

Yes. What significance is that?

Because my little brain of mush suppose

our unfinished business is to find our

murderer. Look, that's not the way it

happens.

My husband, the CPA, and authority on

the afterlife.

How are we going to find out anything if

we can't leave this Beamer?

Let me see what I can do.

You must be allowed to continue your

journey.

You mean if if if we don't find our

murderer, we're going to be stuck here

with this car for eternity.

Do you think he can help us?

I don't know,

but I kind of like him.

I wish I'd have remained a vegetarian.

I wish I'd put the cat out.

I still think this is a little strange.

According to maritime law, underwater

artifacts are finders keepers, sheriff.

That whole area was underwater not too

long ago.

Uh-huh. Claiming salvage rights on a

BMW. Doesn't it bother you at all that

there were dead people in it?

more than you know, but I'll take it

anyway. Thanks, Sher.

Oh, you're you're pin right.

Any ghost in here?

Who?

Alec. This had better not be a joke. I

canceled my date with Barbara McN for

this. I cancelled the date with Barbara

McN for this. Barbara's come and

Barbara's go. I think our problems a

little more pressing, don't you?

I'm trying to figure out which one of

your classmates did it.

Good luck. My classmates voted me most

popular.

I gave half of them free investment

advice.

I'm just saying it stands to reason

we're back on the anniversary. That one

of them

Yeah, but bottom line is all of my

classmates liked me. loved me.

The one thing we haven't addressed is

you, darling.

No one wanted me dead. I didn't even

know anyone at your reunion except the

the Pickins and Mildred.

Ah, you admit it. You don't know. How

many times have I asked you to get the

facts straight before you speculate?

Don't trivialize me, Barry. I think we

better take some deep breaths and say

our mantras.

Wait a minute. Now that we're dead, I

want to tell you something. I don't have

a mantra.

Will, if you ever hear the words until

death do you part, run, cuz it's a lie.

Let's get to work.

Ow.

Holy.

I can see you in the mirror.

He can see us in the rearview mirror.

I wish someone would explain the rules

to being dead.

Well, I can see your mouth moving, but

uh I can't hear what you're saying.

Hi. How's it going?

Yeah, I know. It's a bummer.

Bummer. Who talks like that?

Hey, well, listen. Listen. I've talked

with Alec. You're you're in great hands.

He's he's got this idea about how we can

nab your killer.

I'm sorry.

Wait here.

Well, everything's set. Reunion's 8:00

and I've just got to pick up a couple

more things.

Hi, Will. Great car. Barbara. Um, I I

left a message in

Oh, I got it. I was really looking

forward to this weekend, but uh I'll

forgive you if you give me a ride in

your car.

Yeah, sure. Later.

After months of chasing me, don't play

hard to get now. Want to get in the back

seat and uh lock lips?

Um, no. No, we can't.

No, I'm flexible.

No, no, Barbara. Barbara, no. No, no,

no.

Oh.

No, wait. Okay.

Good ridden. The guy was a real jerk.

I can't tell you how many times Barry

would call me and insist that I make

investments. I made one lost $15,000.

I wanted to kill sob to tell me that I

was his lawyer. Every day he'd call

asking about pack shelters and living

wills

delay that he never asked me. Old Mr.

Popularity my butt. Mr. Pushy's more

like it. Well, here's the last of the

real jerks.

They hated me.

We just went from zero suspects to 124.

They all did it.

They all rented a bus and ran us off the

road.

Us? They like me.

I don't understand it. I mean, why?

Honey, remember when I would get mad and

and accuse you of being compulsive,

of being a knowit all, that you were

intolerant and dogmatic.

That's why.

Yes, sir.

Uh, two gentics, please.

Nice car.

Yours for five bucks. Right.

What the hell? Why not?

I dug it out of the swamp.

A BMW.

Sounds like an amusing story.

You can read all about it when I finish

my book.

Oh, you're a writer. I'm

working on it.

See,

when I found it, there were skeletons in

it. No, no, no. Now, the police, you

know, they figure it's an accident,

right?

Not me.

I think they were murdered. murdered in

the car.

Um, thanks. I I think we'll pass.

Looking for a refill, kid.

Did I tell you my story?

Yeah. Yeah, you told everybody. You're

writing a book on that damn car.

That's great. Now, about another scotch,

two fingers, maybe. And use your thumbs.

Sorry, sir. Sir, the the bars we we put

a limit on drinks, but you're welcome to

leave your keys here.

We We've got designated drivers.

Listen, kid. I was first dream

quarterback on the best team East

Jacksonville has ever seen. I know my

limits. I am not drunk.

Come on, Benny. I got to hide in the

car.

Alec,

I'm here. Will

Alec, this isn't working.

I told everyone this story. Nobody's

even blinked.

The murderer will show his hand.

So, what do we do then? What do we go to

Sheriff Anders and tell him that our

witnesses are ghosts?

Trust the justice of the swamp will. And

trust me,

those guys are going to kill someone if

not themselves.

I hate drunks.

I ain't got no chance. You eligible.

Huh?

Now, none of you were thinking of

driving in your condition, were you?

I don't know what to tell you to. Alec

thought for sure someone would tip their

hand.

Day after tomorrow and everyone's going

home. If we don't figure this out by

then,

hardly anyone liked me at all.

If you want to be technical, none of

them liked you.

Was I really that bad?

Most of the time, yes.

Why did you marry me?

Remember what happened earlier in the

car?

Yeah. How can I forget? We got killed.

No, I meant to Will. That barber girl

was all over him in the front seat.

Well, it started me thinking. Remember

our first date?

Oh, yeah.

After the movie, we got into the back

seat and things started moving faster

than they should have.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a

minute. You said that you were not

comfortable. And so I stopped.

Exactly.

Without any whining or pleading. You

respected my wishes. You respected me.

You don't know how much that meant to

me.

I knew right then I had found someone

very special.

What about all those other things you

said about me?

They're true, too. You are compulsive.

You are obstinate. And we do argue all

the time. But then I count that as a

positive.

Makes me feel like I'm worth arguing

with.

I mean, what's the point of a good fight

if you don't really care? And we've had

some good ones.

You know what Will said about Alec and

his accident and how his wife died?

I'm so grateful that if we had to die

that we're together.

Alec,

what?

Damn it. It is the same car.

What's he doing here?

Clarence Pickkins,

my friend. Attorney

killer.

WILL.

WILL, COME OUT OF THE HOUSE. IT'S PICK

BECAUSE HE'S HERE. HEY,

GOLD. HE can't hear you.

What good are we if the only thing we

can touch is

the car?

This car is our link. Right.

Right.

Push the horn.

Nothing.

Think think think about pushing the

horn.

I don't know how you're doing it, but

it's not working.

Let's go.

The obvious question is, how did you

figure it out?

You gave yourself away. My obvious

question is why did you do it? Good boy.

We are.

Sh. I want to hear this.

Why should I tell you?

I figure it had to be for money or for

passion.

Passion.

Don't be ridiculous. Don't be

disgusting.

Disgusting.

Excuse me.

It was money. Or rather, my wife's love

of spending money whether I had it or

not.

Being in debt can ruin a corporate

lawyer's career.

My career means more to me than anything

or anyone.

My law firm was representing a company

called Greengate Labs, which I was about

to merge.

So, so where did the Scots come into

this?

I was also executive of Barry Scott's

estate, which meant that I would gain

control over his Green Gate stock if he

died. He had quite a bit worth millions

after the merger.

I never owned any Green Gate stock.

Um, yes, you did, dear. I I've been

buying it for years with our Christmas

money.

I was saving it for a surprise.

Well, I am surprised,

but I'm also dead.

I am surprised, though.

Come on, help.

What did you bring him here for?

Because dear, the swamp is a good place

for keeping secrets.

Usually get

it over with.

The horn is not going to save Will.

Then try anything. The headlights, the

radio, anything.

A bullet can be difficult to explain.

A blow to the head on the other hand has

much possibilities.

Not his headlights. Barry,

you can do better.

Look,

it's it's an optical illusion.

It's it's it's them.

GET IN THE CAR. GET IN THE CAR. GET IN

THE GO.

Are you okay? Will

Pichu,

are they gone?

They took the beamer. Why are we with

it?

You no longer need it. Justice has been

done.

You're talking to them, aren't you?

Justice?

They got away.

I have some money put aside in a Swiss

account.

You can't run from them. They are

ghosts.

I get control of it. You still

I feel strange. Wait.

You're ready now. There are wonderful

things for you to see.

We'll take your word for it.

Are you ready?

As if I had options.

I love you, Deafany.

I love you, Barry.

Are they gone?

How long have we been here?

I don't know. My watch broken the crash.

Yeah. Well, you shouldn't have fallen

asleep the wheel.

That's not what happened.

Oh, what happened

there? There was a truck. Truck truck.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

Heat.
