Something is wrong.

I can feel it. So much violence and

death.

It was here at this gate.

I know that now.

Come back.

What the devil's wrong with you? Tell me

not like that could bring the Yankees

down on us. Where are we? Wherever it

is. Let's get Come on.

I'm going that way. Yankee lines that

way.

My wife and I are expecting a baby. Our

first son. We hope. I got to be with

her. You go wherever you want.

No, it can't be.

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.

means I cut off your items.

Who are you?

Will Kip, look, I don't I don't have any

money, but but take what I got.

Keep him around here.

Philadelphia Blue Belly. Map showy

Yankee campman around here.

Spy. That's what he is.

A true

spy? What are you talking about? Smart s

boy. You better start talking now,

soldier. Man's unarmed. Not looking to

hurt anybody here. I just want to get to

my wife before she gives birth.

We either kill him or we take him along.

Otherwise, he'll sick ginkies on us like

hounds on a possum.

Wait a minute. Wait. I know you guys are

you're part of one of those those

reenactment groups, right?

You're not.

Be careful, Will. What's happening is

beyond my control.

You

sure you know where you're going?

I was home just two months ago.

Mhm. Best hope the Yankees ain't been

there. By now, that house has been

torched and gutted. And

that's enough, soldier.

Name's Bog, sir. Private Eli Bogs,

Georgia Fifth.

Look, look. There are no Yankees. All

right. There there's no war for that

matter. It's been over for 125 years.

Just a bluffer. Bigger liar and a

bobtail politician. War's over, huh? Who

won?

That's the Langford house. I live here.

What did I tell you? Yankees slipped in

and took it over.

Watch him.

This isn't my house.

I get

I tell you something, boy. Get on. Come

on. Come on.

My wife, her children. Now, where have

they been taken?

Maybe time's taken him.

There

has no answer, son. My family has

vanished. My home. And now you're

calling this your house. Now, what am I

to expect?

Yankee has done this, Lieutenant.

No telling what happened to your woman.

With your permission, sir, I can

guarantee some answers out of them.

Look, look, look. This is not my house,

right? This is my stepmother's. I don't

know what is going on here, but I do

know one thing. The war between the

Confederacy and the Union is over.

Yankees like to think it's over.

This is the 1990s, man.

I can prove it.

Okay. Okay. It says here that my family

purchased this house from a Louise

Wyatt.

My name's Wyatt. I don't know any

Louise.

1965.

chill in there.

Says you were ordered to hold the gate

to Huma.

Says I deserted, ran.

I don't remember, but I must have.

It was a rough battle. Really rough. We

took a trail through the swamp. They

were waiting for us. Caught us in the

crossfire.

I fell.

When I looked up,

shanky soldier was charging me.

It says that that I died

two miles from there.

Show me more.

He never died in that battle.

Damn it. I'm dead. I can separate from

you, sir. Most are dead.

Take cover.

The swamp intervened.

You

ain't get tricked, Lieutenant. Just

spook us. This thing's frozen hard in a

creek of winter. What? Are you supposed

to lick it? It is a trick. I'm not dead.

This isn't my house.

My mother,

my father,

my brother, William.

There's more.

Fruit cell looked almost the same.

This was here when Grandma Lingford

bought the place.

She held on to it.

This house was to be an historical

monument, but John Wyatt lived here. A

man who was recorded in history is dying

a coward.

Oh Lord, where am I? Am I dead? Am I

caught somewhere between heaven and

girl has a new lease on life thanks to

surgery at the hospital for sick

children.

This your house is full of witchcraft.

There's a voice coming out of that box.

Guess I don't dare turn on the TV.

Keep a watch outside now.

That

Why am I going through this?

What did I do?

I deserted my men at home a gate. That's

what the history books say.

I'm I'm flesh and blood. I'm breathing.

I'm seeing. I'm feeling. I can't be

dead.

I came back here to to see my son born.

Mary and I, my wife, we have five little

girls.

We have been praying so hard for a boy.

And what happened to them?

There's a cemetery out back. It's It's

got vines growing all over it. But

the family plot,

you might find some answers there.

We are a son.

Come on. Hey.

No. I heard something over here. Come

on. Would you said move it, boy? All

right, get up against that tree. Have a

little look. See? Come on.

Get your hands back. Come on.

Damn it.

Will,

where have you been?

Don't worry. I don't believe they're

here to harm you.

Oh no. You seen that Bogs guy, man? He

is a snapcase big time.

He wasn't supposed to be here. This was

Wyatt's journey. Bog stepped into it

unexpectedly.

Fate has taken a turn that I don't quite

understand yet.

Why aren't you untying me?

Because it wouldn't help you, Will. The

forces of history are in control here,

not me. Somehow, you've been caught up

in the middle of something that must be

played out.

I don't get it.

I think Lieutenant Wyatt has returned to

learn about a battle he never fought.

Okay. So, what does that have to do with

me, man? I haven't done anything.

You're here in his house. Maybe you're

supposed to let him know that he didn't

die a coward. The swamp took him.

What?

He and his men would hold the gate. The

Union troops were planning to torch the

swamp to burn it.

Was the swamp's decision?

The swamp took him out of time, and now

it sent him back.

I can't protect your will. Not this

time.

Wait out. Don't you

darn it. Who are you talking to?

Yankees. The trees. You want me to carve

it out of you, boy?

I don't want this man harmed, soldier.

You stay in here,

till I find out what my mission is.

Someone coming.

Say Will. Said you're going to be in

town.

Hey, easy with the knife, man.

Hey, your property.

I'm nobody's property.

Seriously, boy.

It's my friend. That's enough, Bugs.

The way he looks, the way he talks, that

is a northern color. That's for sure.

Yankees been making colored soldiers.

Execution orders, Lieutenant. You catch

a northern colored, you kill them. You

catch a Yankee colored with a Yankee

white, kill them both. To your post,

bogs.

What's going on?

I'm not even going to try and explain.

We owe you, Lieutenant.

Is there anything we can do to help?

You can tell me why I'm here.

My wife and my family are buried out

there. I saw the markers with my own

eyes.

Marrying

three of my little girls.

The last baby, the one we were

expecting, turned out to be the boy I

never got to see.

Is the Lord punishing me for something?

Am I in purgatory or some eternal hell?

Now, please answer.

Sir,

do you remember when you were ordered to

hold the gate at Homa?

Of course. I was a commanding officer.

It was a terrible fight.

I think something went wrong.

I think maybe you were supposed to die

there.

I think think back.

a Yankee soldier.

I killed him

and then I found myself on a road

box.

But how did I get back here?

Yeah, how did he?

All I know is that circumstances have

sent you back.

Maybe to write a wrong or to change

history.

History says I ran.

Maybe history's wrong.

But that's what they say.

I can't help but think of all the people

I left behind

living with that disgrace.

My disgrace.

You're willing to live with it? I can't

believe that.

I love my wife, my daughter so much.

I never wanted to hurt them.

Now is your chance to set the record

straight. Do you remember deserting?

No, I never would have done that.

Okay, because you didn't. Your family,

the ones you love, you, your wife. Now

is your chance to find the truth and

erase the shame.

I don't know.

I don't know about any of this.

Okay. Now, there has got to be a reason

why you're here. But why now? Why this

day of this year after so long?

That's That's anybody's guess.

Maybe Maybe you still got family around

here. descendants.

Well, what difference does that make?

I'm

I'm talking about people who still carry

the Wyatt name.

Wait, there is. I work at the hospital

here in Homa. A woman I know checked in

tonight. Emily Wyatt.

She's having a baby, man. In fact, she

says she's having her first little boy.

She's my family.

That's it, Wyatt. That's why you're here

now. Don't you see the baby you and your

wife wanted to have her first newborn

now? It may be a little late,

but he's here.

So are you.

My great great grandson.

Blue Bellis.

Oh, that hogwash he's been filling you

with. He's set in a trap. There's Yankee

coming right now. I say we kill him.

Both of them now. Aren't you sick of

killing by now?

I ain't even had my taste of it. Never

even pulled the trigger. You said when

we met on the road that your unit had

been wiped out.

I I tell you they're coming now. Kill

these two. Let's run for it.

You deserve it, didn't you?

You ain't going to live to tell it.

Get your pistol and toss it. Come on.

Thank you.

First the dark.

Just what I've been waiting for.

You damn shaved tail.

There's a quiet boy being born tonight.

I sure would like to be there if I can.

Robert John Wyatt.

Look at him.

Such a beautiful baby boy.

Everything I'd ever wanted my own son to

be.

Everything Mary and I had ever dreamed

of together.

Well,

young Robert John Wyatt won't have to

live down the Wyatt name anymore

because I'm going to give him something

to live up to.

How would you do that?

By going back.

Lieutenant Wyatt's company K held a

position enabling Confederate troops to

regroup and mount a successful

counterattack.

If it weren't for the heroic stand

provided by Wyatt and his regimen,

Gate and the town itself would have

fallen into Union hands.

John White earned his place in

Confederate and American folklore.

Heat. Hey, Heat.
