Hello.

Hello.

I sense something.

Talk to me.

What is wrong?

We are the swamp.

We are supposed to be one.

Don't pull away.

Why are you turning away from me?

Why?

Why?

Will,

where are you?

I would hurt you. I'm your friend. I'm

no threat to you. I'm of the swamp.

Have you seen the camp or who was here?

He's my friend.

Looks like he didn't like you very much.

Who are you?

Professor Meisto at your service.

You don't seem very surprised at my

appearance. Appearances aren't

everything, are they?

Most people don't know that.

Feels like a nasty storm is coming up.

Funny how nature always warns us.

Come in. COME IN. DON'T BE SHY.

Where am I?

How did I get here?

You can't find out until you inquire,

now can you?

Where am I? It can't be.

Look everyone, a creature.

I mean you no harm.

PROTECT YOURSELVES. HE'S DANGEROUS.

YEAH.

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.

Have we met?

Of course we have. You just don't want

to remember.

But everyone knows me sooner or later.

Just be glad tonight it's not your turn.

Watch.

I won't hurt you. I'm one of you.

I'm a human being.

Don't let him get away.

Come on. Let's get him.

All right, whoever you are, freeze.

Jeez, what the heck are you?

Don't be afraid. I'm a man like you.

This must be a dream.

Help me, Alice. Help.

Tresser,

help me, Alex.

Don't be shy.

Go on in.

Tresa, are you up there?

Tracer, where are you?

Alex, I'm in here. Quick.

You're welcome to try and escape, though

I think you'll find the effort futile.

Arcane, I should have known. What have

you done with Tresa?

Don't worry, Alec. I'm fine.

I told you if I called he'd come.

And what a clever woman it is that you

are.

I know this is an hallucination. These

events, Dr. Meisto, it's all a metal

trick. But that wound on your shoulder

doesn't look like a mental trick. Does

it feel like one?

I don't know how you're doing this. I

only know that Treso wouldn't work with

you against me.

But Anton has so much to offer, Alec.

Frankly, it's time I stopped denying the

inevitable.

She fought as long as she could.

You don't belong with him. He kidnapped

your son.

He didn't take Jim. He's trying to help

me find him.

I told you he'd resort to lying.

Pathetic explanation from a doomed

creature.

Very pathetic.

What are you going to do with me?

You're giving your life to science, just

like you always wanted.

Excuse us, won't you? Let me sharpen our

scalpels.

Meisto, why am I locked in this cage?

We build our own cages, don't we?

I didn't build this one.

I'm surprised a few mere bars can keep

you entrapped.

I have no choice. I have no powers.

Nonsense. We all have power if we want

it.

We build our own cages, don't we?

We all have power. If we want it, it

want it.

Why are you doing this to me? Tell me.

What have I done to deserve this agony?

Look around you. Everything you need to

know is here.

What I see is unfamiliar.

Then you haven't learned anything yet.

Too bad.

I must be losing my mind.

Heat. Heat.

It's like I'm a stranger here. For the

first time, I feel unrelated to nature,

abandoned by the swamp.

I'm lost

and alone.

Will, where are you? I have to talk to

you.

Heat.

Heat.

Will, what's wrong?

Just stay away. Huh? You can't help me.

What are you talking about?

It's Jim.

He's dead.

No. Will don't believe that.

I I talked to a consulate general.

He said that that Jim's dead. Lloyd

didn't do a damn thing to to help save

me.

Listen to me, Will. There are many

strange things happening in the swamp.

This may not be real. It may be some

kind of trick.

Yeah, right.

I'm here. Let me help you.

I don't want anything from you.

If I could trade places with you, I

would.

It's a little late for that now, isn't

it?

In fact, it's a little late for a lot of

things.

What do you mean?

I'm talking about life.

My life.

No, don't say that, Will.

Why not?

It's true, isn't it?

The world doesn't need me.

But I need you.

That's what my brother needed, too.

Look what he got.

Meisto, I want out of this nightmare you

put me in. If it's a dream, then end it

now.

I give you my permission.

You have the power.

I have no power and you know it. For

some reason, it's gone.

And yet you claim to not understand

what's happening to you.

Look around.

I don't think you're wanted here

anymore.

Can it be true or is it another trick?

Please

don't drive me away.

Tell me, have I let you down somehow?

Am I no longer welcome here?

You can't reject me. This is my home. If

I leave, where would I go?

I have nowhere else to go.

Maybe it's time you realize that

it can't be.

It's me.

In the course of a lifetime, we all have

certain tasks we don't like. But me,

I love my work.

How dare you tell me to give up? If I

give up, so do you. We are the same

person.

Hardly. I'm Alec Holland. You're nothing

more than a mutation.

But I am you. You were disfigured in a

fire.

That's right. I was. But you never have

been me and never will be.

But I have a life. A history just as

you.

Exactly. My history, my life. You only

remember what I have lived.

I lived it too. And if you take that,

you take my soul.

I take nothing from you because you have

nothing.

I won't give up my life, my reality.

You mean fantasy. How else can I explain

it? You aren't Alec Holland. You created

that story to justify your existence.

But the fire, Linda,

that was my existence.

And it's dead just as I am.

Unfortunately, your destiny is much

worse.

What could be worse than death?

Immortality.

Immortality as a monster.

He's

a freak. Kill it.

Jeez. What the heck are you?

You're giving your life to science just

like you always want.

Stay away.

You can't help me.

Immortality as a monster.

Freak.

Stop.

Meisto, I am here.

I demand to see you.

Meisto,

back off, Hollander. I'll blow our

brains out.

Alec, listen to him. He means it.

You can't kill someone who doesn't

exist.

Don't go in there.

You're not here.

Well, well, you made it at last.

Now the fun can begin.

What kind of demon are you?

I'm not a demon. Simply a purveyor of

fear.

A storyteller, if you will.

What have you to gain by terrorizing me?

You know, I spoke of you over a hundred

years ago.

I told tales of a creature, part man,

part plant. He'd reached his destiny

being a catalyst for science, which

ultimately led to the destruction of all

that he cared for and loved.

This uh mutation disappeared into the

depths of the swamp, damned to

loneliness for eternity. His legend

passed from one generation to the next.

Tragedy feeds on itself, my friend. It

cannot easily be stopped. It sucks the

spirit out of people.

Do you know I can take your soul anytime

I want?

Never. I wouldn't use that word.

You see, you didn't stop me, did you?

Why is it so important for you to create

fear in my heart?

Don't blame your fear on me. Your terror

is your own.

You see, the interesting thing about

fear is that one can actually die from

it.

What has your mission of fear to do with

me?

Must I explain everything?

Your heart's afflicted with dread. It's

fearful of others. You live in terror

that you will never again exist as a

man.

It harms no one but me.

No one. You lie.

Just look around you. You're consumed

with a fear that I thrive on. It sweats

from every paw. It multiplies with each

breath you take. And this fear, this

terror, this fright is of nothing but

yourself.

The swamp knows no fear. I am guided by

the balance of nature, not human fear.

You've ensured your legend along life.

My deepest congratulations.

Why did you come to me, Mafisto?

I only come when beckoned.

I didn't call you. Who did? Arcane.

I told you to look around you. It was

your friend. The swamp.

That's impossible.

Is it? Think again.

If what you say is true, then there must

be a terrible imbalance.

Could my fears have done that? I would

be at cross purposes even harmful to

her. I would be too human.

Too human.

Imagine that.

You are my greatest story of all time.

For that I thank you, doctor.

Too human.

Imagine that.

Too human.

Imagine that. Too human. Human.

Too human. Human.

It's good to be home.

The greatest battles of life are often

fought within ourselves.

Fear will only bring defeat in the

natural order of things. Of course, fear

also brings

me

la.
