Original subtitles

Okay, everybody. We get one chance at

this and only one.

Heart rate within acceptable limits.

Doctor,

respiration stable.

Good. Then let's get to it. And whatever

happens, let's not disappoint Dr.

Arcane.

Scalpel.

Come along quickly. Careful. Put it

down.

Where on earth do you find this [ __ ]

Graeme?

Look at it. 10 billion nerve cells

comprising the supreme triumph of man's

evolution.

Human brain.

It's uh very nice, sir.

Nice. This isn't just any brain, Graeme.

This is the memory bank of the most

brilliant and prolific scientist genius

since Einstein.

my teacher and mentor Carl Miridor.

And I mean to make it mine.

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.

It's got the synoptic responses of a

newborn baby.

Cortex storage. Perfect condition.

Analog to digital.

Don't worry, doctor. I won't allow a

lifetime of advanced thinking to turn to

dust.

The mistake Walt made was to look for

the integral solutions to the equation x

to the 4th power plus t to the

arcane. The transfer is working.

Of course, it's working. Graham, listen

to the symphony of knowledge. He found a

solution to the Walder conundrum. when

he could have found the answer quite

simply by taking the same denominator

why and killing it.

Transfer is taking too long.

Like they say, sir, Rome wasn't built in

a day.

Take over the controls. I got

preparations to make.

Preparations, sir.

I'm going to upload his memory into mine

directly.

But Dr. Arcane, are you sure that's

wise?

Not only wise, but essential, Graham,

I said essential.

You only had marginal success with lab

animals last year.

That's irrelevant now. The fact is, in 2

hours, cell degeneration sets in.

Miridor's brain is simply too valuable

to lose. It's the repository of

everything he ever thought about,

remembered, intellectualized.

We've had no time to test the

procedures. Changing the electronic

balance of the brain could be disastrous

mentally or physically.

Stop acting like a mental pygmy Graham.

No one has ever synthesized cortex

memory from the deceased, let alone

vocalized it. This moment will go down

in history. Now, help me quickly.

What about Dana Miridor, doctor? She'll

be here soon and her her spinal fluid

will keep the brain alive.

If she's a genetic match and if she

arrives immediately. No time. Let's go.

Come to me, doctor.

Student to teacher, genius to genius. We

will have and do everything.

Well, what do I do when she gets here?

Have a standby with force if necessary.

If anything does go wrong and I don't

survive, I want you to save Miridor's

brain.

Don't worry, Graeme. I taught you

everything you need to know.

Now energize.

Yes, it's coming in the transformation

faces. Yes. Yes.

Miss Miridor.

Yes,

I'm Graham, Dr. Arcane's assistant. He

would have been here to meet you

himself, but he was unexpectedly called

out of town on an emergency.

Oh,

I've been so looking forward to this.

He's as disappointed as you are, Miss

Miridor, but he won't be long.

But he asked that you wait for him here

in home just for a day or two. As his

guest, he would really like to see you.

I don't think I can do that.

I know he told you on the phone how much

he respected Dr. Miridor.

Yes, I was very touched.

Then you can understand how much Dr.

Arcane looks forward to sharing with you

his personal reminiscences as well as

some of your grandfather's writings.

Okay.

Just sign for anything you need.

You've been very kind, Graham. I'll wait

to hear.

Need help?

Oh, thanks.

It all looks pretty dull.

Live dangerously.

You missed one.

Swamp tours? I don't think so.

Well, don't knock it till you try it.

Let's not tell about a swamp. Well, for

one thing, tour guide, me

name's Will Kip,

Dana Miridor.

Schroinger's wave equation only showed

deficiencies in the poor Summerfield.

Who are you? You're not Meridor. I'm

warning you. You don't know who you're

dealing with. I want you to stop it now.

The poor Summerfield. As I said before

Strodinger, many difficulty involving

the angular momentum could be traced to

the quantum number K.

I had such a great time this afternoon.

Will,

you were right. I never realized how

beautiful a swamp could be.

You just seem like you were someplace

very far away.

It wasn't a place,

a memory. Somebody I loved very much.

Love

my grandfather died. several weeks ago.

I haven't really grown used to it yet.

I had someone very close to me pass away

not too long ago.

Her name's Abigail.

And I I found that by by talking about

it and getting it out, you know,

reliving all of the the happiest

memories that we had together kind of

helped me get a new perspective, you

know, to to ease the pain.

My parents were divorced when I was very

young. My father was never around, but

my grandpa, he was always there. I

remember when I was six. It was

Christmas Eve. My mom wasn't around. Oh,

you know what that did to me? You know

how kids act on Christmas.

I was feeling so sorry for myself. I was

all alone with a sitter or something.

And suddenly later that night,

he comes down in a Santa Claus suit

with the boots on and the whiskers and I

mean the whole shebang. Okay. And he's

ho ho hoing with this big old bag of

toys.

That's how he was, Will.

He always set aside the important things

for me.

Discrete emissions from the molecular

ions C, H, O, and N with the ions C H

plus.

Enron,

I am speaking to you.

My god, what happened to you?

I'm dead. What does it look like?

The question is, what's happened to you?

This is not real. This is a

hallucination. Cry.

If only it were that simple.

My god, what's happening to me?

Nothing that a little science fiction

folly by a misguided scientist can't

explain.

Who the hell gave you the right to steal

our brain? Our genius.

What are you talking about? Our brain?

The two of us, Anton.

Both sides of the great miridor.

You see, you took us together.

The light and the dark, the great, the

far less than greater.

We were very disturbed.

The doctors all called it schizophrenia.

No,

it's quit proquo.

A brain for a brain.

No.

We're yours for as long as you live.

No. No.

Your

grandfather sounds like a really great

guy. That's why it's it's it's so odd

that he would be friends with someone

like Arcane.

Why don't you like him?

That's a long story. Let's just say we

don't exchange Christmas cards.

Miridor,

I think the bar is still open. Can I buy

you a night cap?

That sounds nice.

Well,

something wrong.

No, it's just a wind.

I have to talk to you,

Dana.

Um, I just remember something that I got

to go do. Do you mind if I take a rain

check on that drink?

Of course not. But

great, great. Look, I'll I'll call you

tomorrow. Okay.

This is important.

Good night.

Alec, what's wrong?

I believe Dana Miridor is in danger.

It's arcane, isn't it? I knew it. Last

night, he took delivery of a secret

shipment in an organ transplant

container. I wondered why until I

remembered as a student he was obsessed

with the human brain and its capacity to

store knowledge. His doctoral thesis

even boasted that one day he would

transfer the cortical storage from one

to another.

Meaning what? You lost me.

I'm convinced he has Dr. Miridor's

brain.

What? That's crazy.

Yes, it is. Arcane theorized that an

infusion of cerebral spinal fluid from a

person with matching genetics could keep

her brain functioning almost

indefinitely.

You don't think he's planning to use

Dana Miridor for one of his twisted

experiments, do you?

Worse than that. The only reason he'd

bring her here, Will, is to drain the

fluids from her brain. Go to her and

don't leave her side.

I did do my homework and it was correct.

It was you didn't understand it. Nobody

understands it.

Vertigan's equation on the origin of

matter lost.

Oh, Midor,

wherever you are, my brain's exploding.

Equation was incorrect.

Speaking of what he called the pudding

of the matter, he bay was totally wrong.

If he'd taken oregano and cubed it to

the fourth power, he'd have a bicycle

with four wheels. Don't you see?

Wherever you are,

my head's on fire.

And well, it should be, Anton.

Who knows how much evil one brain can

hold. You forgot ground through a total

innovative process. You've got all of us

in your corrupt little noodle. You, me,

and my late great better half. Where's

the miridor? I knew

he killed himself.

What?

Yes, that was the one thing left out of

the newspapers. You see, he had to do

that to escape from me. His last years

were really fun for me. You know, raging

bouts of depression he had to hide from

the world.

His doctor tried to control me with

drugs, but that only worked for a little

while. Eventually, even they were no

match for me. So death was Miridor's

perverse solution, and he succeeded.

Until you brought us both back to life.

No,

like my late great half, you could get

rid of me, you know,

but I don't think you have the courage

to do that. If courage is the word,

desperation might be better.

Now I've got you, Anton.

Hey, wait. Stop. Stop.

Wow.

I say this. You young man out for a jog?

Tell your show. Give me a weapon.

Yes.

You said I didn't have the courage. Oh,

but I do. Yes, indeed I do. It's just

the way you go about it.

Deputy Jensen, where's Sheriff Anders? I

need to speak to him.

You had to get down to the state

capital. Looks like you're stuck with

me, K.

I just dropped a young lady off at the

hotel around the corner about 6:00. Her

name is Dana Miridor. Now, I go back

there and she has disappeared.

You expect me to work up a sweat about a

story like that?

I advise you to keep a closer eye on

your girlfriends, Skip.

Suppose I tell you that Arcane is

involved up to his forehead.

Well, then I'd suggest that you take it

up with him. Now, look, I got to look

up, Kip.

What's that all about?

All I'm asking for one of you whining to

bump me off. That's not too much to ask,

is it? After all, that's all any of you

want to see me 6 feet under. Come on.

He's finally snapped. I don't believe

this.

Somebody end it for me.

Uh, this Deputy Sheriff Jensen down in

Homa. We got a hostage situation down

here. We need your SWAT team right away.

Stay away from me.

What are you?

It will take too long to explain, but

you must believe I'm your friend.

Don't come any closer.

Do you hear that? That's Dr. Arcane.

He's invited you here for an evil

purpose. Dana,

I'll take my chances. Thank you.

You don't know him.

I don't know you either. He's a horrible

monster of a man. More than you can

imagine. I

can't believe I'm standing here talking

to someone like you about this.

Dana, please. Somehow Arcane arranged to

steal your grandfather's brain when he

died.

Nobody would ever do that.

Arcane would and has the insanity to

try. He did this to me. Would you have

believed this possible until now?

But why?

Why would he do this to my grandpa? He

had the idea that he could absorb Carl

Miridor's genius. I believe he's already

tried, but for some reason, it's now

destroying him. Dana, everything you

most loved and remembered about your

grandfather is now locked in Arcane's

head.

You're talking about his soul.

I know.

Arcane, this is Deputy Jensen. Now, I

want you to be a good fell and throw

down your gun.

Dana, what what happened?

I'll explain later.

Don't come any closer, young lady.

Grandpa, listen to me.

It's Dana.

Are you all right?

Grandpa, I know you must be very

confused, but everything's going to be

okay. I'm here.

My dear,

think of how strong you were for me.

You were the best thing in my life.

That's how I want to remember you. Not

like this.

If Arcane dies, you're going to be

trapped forever. Don't you see? You'll

never have any peace. I can't bear that,

Grandpa.

It would be no great loss if you died,

Arcane. But you'll live so that a

greater soul than yours can be

liberated.

Let yourself out, Dr. Miridor.

The same electronic energy that brought

you here in the lab is here to help you

now. The way is open. Go in peace.

Goodbye, Dr. Miridor.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth

about my grandpa's death in the

beginning, Will, but

his suicide was very painful to me.

Listen, that's your secret. Don't ever

feel like you have to tell anyone.

In spite of everything, I only have

happy memories of him.

Try and keep a few good memories about

Homer.

Hey, I still don't know how it all

happened, but I know that I've got you

and your friend to thank. I'll never

forget that. I will.

Bye-bye.

Heat. Heat. N.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.
