Hello, Graeme. Calling you from

paradise.

Yes, I know it's only 2 hours away. I'm

so tired. It's paradise enough for me.

You can't come and visit. Solitude is

what I need.

I think I might find it here.

Only been here 15 minutes and already I

feel like a new man.

Scenery is breathtaking.

Yes. Hello.

Hi.

No, not you. You idiot. Now hang up now.

Oh, I say

charm. I'm Dr. Anton Arcane. You are

Roxan.

Roxan.

I like the sound of that very much.

Shh. You just stay asleep. I have to get

back to my room.

Roxan,

who's there?

I'm back.

Who the hell's that?

Hello, Anton.

It's been a long time.

Lar Ro, you're supposed to be in the

asylum.

But I'm not.

Now I am in your dreams.

Dr. Williams, I would like a word with

you. How could you let that lunatic

loose? He's a menace to society, as well

evidenced by the color chart on my face.

Please, doctor, calm down. Let's take a

walk.

I'm not too sure I understand your

problem, doctor.

Carter Lar Ro is my problem. The man who

would have turned Humor into a giant

water amusement park if it hadn't been

for me. He's out.

No, Mr. Roach hasn't been released.

Well, then he escaped. He came to my

hotel room last night and almost beat me

half to death.

Just a moment, please.

Are you sure you don't want the doctors

to look at you? Don't touch me.

If

he gets out again, your doctor's going

to be treating their own bruises.

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.

Dr. Williams.

Oh, hi.

Will. Hello, dear. I'm sorry I'm late.

One of my patients had a Well, let's

just say we were unexpectedly dicted.

Are you feeling all right? You look a

little pale.

It's just that uh

you remember those patients that we took

out on the boat tour a few months ago?

Were they uh

they seem normal?

Those were the outpatients. The ones in

here are inatients. I guess you noticed

a big difference.

Little bit.

Still want the job.

Ordinarily, one of the janitors would

have already sponged down that wall, but

now we're a little short-handed with the

new budget cuts.

Okay, this paint here, is this a

water-based paint?

Um, no. Well, that's blood. One of our

patients broke a window and used the

glass shard to seriously injure himself.

And Oh, which reminds me, could you

replace that window pane when you get

through in here?

Yeah, sure. Anything you want.

Good boy.

Nice picture.

Hi there.

You the one come to fix my window?

You're a real pro at this. You know, I

used to do a little carpenter myself.

Yeah. Well, I wish I had some better

materials to use. This glass looks like

it's about 40 years old.

No expenses spares.

Well, I do thank you for fixing my

window, son.

I take it that you didn't do this.

No. No. That was poor Mr. Scott.

You know, I really do feel sorry about

what happened to him, but I just wish

he'd chosen somebody else's winter to

break. I mean, two days in here without

sunshine was beginning to drive me

crazy.

Well, forgive me for for saying this,

but

you seem a far cry from crazy. I mean,

especially compared to some of the other

people around here.

That's cuz I'm not crazy.

Thank you for picking up on that, son.

So,

why am I here?

That can be explained in two simple

words.

Anton

Arcane.

So then Arcane lures me into this

business deal and then he double crosses

me and makes me out to be nuts when the

people of Homer find out about it. Now I

admit to some fraud, but I am not nuts.

On the other hand, Arcane is a cancer in

this town.

I mean, as if condemning me to this hell

wasn't enough, he comes in here

screaming that I broke into his hotel

room and beat him up in the middle of

the night.

Now, which one of us you think is crazy?

It's a great looking watch.

Well,

thank you. Belong to my daddy.

24 karat gold.

Oh, here you go, Will. I can't thank you

enough for your help.

Sure, call anytime.

Dr. Williams, excuse me for asking this,

but how long will Carter Lar Ro have to

stay around here? I mean, he seems a

little out of place, you know.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Well,

actually, his release could come at any

time. Just as soon as the committee is

convinced that he's overcome his

obsession.

Obsession.

Mr. Roach believes there's a beast in

the swamp that's out to get him.

Okay.

Yeah. And that one glitch has prevented

his release.

But it looks as though he's finally let

it go.

I drove all the way back here to finish

my vacation.

I don't give a damn about a bunch of

spilled containers in the swamp, you

[ __ ] I want you to find out about Lar

Ro now.

Anton, are you okay?

Of course I'm okay. I'm on my bloody

vacation.

Excuse me.

Damn you, Lar Ro.

I know it was you. That straight jacket

routine hasn't had me fooled for a

second. You stay away from me, you hear,

or you'll find yourself in a pine box at

the morg.

Heat. Heat.

Will

Alec

Alec,

what's wrong?

You might say it's something I ate. A

poison leaked into the water, but

fortunately, I was able to absorb it

into my system before much damage was

caused.

Are you going to be all right?

I'll be better in the morning when I've

had a chance to be in the sun and

photosynthesize.

It's got to stop, Alec. You realize our

lives aren't even our own anymore.

Everything we do is dictated by one

dangerous egoomaniac.

It's time to stop Arcane.

Will,

I know you hate Arcane, but this

venomous outburst, it just isn't LIKE

YOU.

I'M TIRED, THAT'S ALL. I'm tired of

watching my friend go through his days

as a plant. I'm tired of Homer being led

around by the nose. I'm just plain

tired.

I got to go.

Hello.

It's a Bloody gas leak.

Damn you, Lar Ro. You swine. I know

you're responsible for this. Why don't

you show yourself? Show some guts.

I want to know how you got into my room

last night. Well, I

I was in a group therapy session last

night, Anton.

You know, there are several people who

can corroborate his story.

I'm sure anybody could corroborate his

story if you pumped him full of enough

drugs.

Oh, all right. I think visiting hours

are over.

Wait, Dr. Williams, wait. Uh, could I

have a few moments alone with Dr. RK.

Well, all right. If you need anything,

don't hesitate to call.

Who? Him or me?

I'll be in my office.

All right, you got your witness out of

the room. Now, what the hell are you up

to, Lar Ro?

Nothing, Anton. I swear

I don't know anything about this.

When I saw you here today, I thought

that we might be able to put some of our

past differences behind us now.

But you know, if anybody should be angry

about what happened, it should be me.

But I bear no grudge. Spare me this

drily.

You know, you just don't seem yourself

lately, Anton. I mean, all these all

these wild accusations,

they're just not like you. They wreak of

paranoia.

You've been under a lot of strain

lately, Anton.

Because if you have, this is a wonderful

place to relax

and work through difficult times.

Now, you listen to me. If anything else

strange happens to me or near me, you'll

spend the rest of your days in here

working through your difficult times.

I got to get me a secretary.

Hello.

Heat.

Heat.

Stop.

Will, what's wrong? Can you hear me?

Gosh,

my head.

Just take it slowly.

Oh, what a hangover.

I don't even remember getting drunk.

Oh, you weren't drunk.

What happened around here?

Looks like someone went after this place

with a chainsaw.

It was you, Will. You did this.

What?

You were hypnotized?

Hypnotized?

Yes. I should have realized it sooner.

The poisons I absorbed left my senses a

little dull. You must try to remember

what you did before waking up here.

I was playing my guitar.

The phone rang.

Who called you? Try to remember the

voice.

was Cardinal Larose.

I told you he was dangerous. He must

have hypnotized you when you visited him

that day.

But how? I mean, he didn't say any of

the normal things like, "Now you're

getting sleepy." All he did was rag on

Arcane a little bit. He was happy when I

fixed his window. The sun could shine

in.

Wait a minute. The watch.

The watch? Yeah, he was he was shining a

watch when I saw him. Then he let it

dangle in front of me with the sun on

it. Next thing I remember, I'm outside

talking to Dr. Williams, saying goodbye.

I can't remember anything past the

watch.

That must be how I did it. What else

have I done around here?

The waste containers. I spilled them,

didn't I?

It doesn't matter anymore. It wasn't

your fault. The important thing is to

put a stop to Lar Ro. We can't let him

be released from that hospital. If he

can wreak that much damage from inside,

there's no limit to what he can do once

he's free.

Look, I am telling you this guy Lar Ro

is bad news.

What makes you so positive it wasn't

Arcane who hypnotized you?

Hey man,

Carter, what do you know about

hypnotism?

Why?

Well, Will, the young handyman that was

here the other day, he claims you

hypnotized him.

What a preposterous notion.

Are you with me, doctor?

Good.

Now, I might need to be letting myself

out again tonight.

I'm on my way back now, Graeme. Yes, I

know I'm coming home early, you idiot.

But since the purpose of this vacation

was to get away from stress, there's not

much point in my staying here now, is

there?

Hello.

Hello, Carter.

NO.

HELP ME. HE'S COMING BACK FOR ME.

NO. Help me.

Holy [ __ ] Let's go.

Bloody hell.

came out of nowhere. I turned the corner

and he was just standing there. I tried

to stop.

Relax, Dr. Arcane. He's not dead. Even

if he were, I'm not sure it would be

your fault. His hysteria has brought him

to this point.

Hysteria about what?

That swamp creature he always claims was

plaguing him.

There's only one thing left, and that's

to send him off to a a larger facility

away from here.

Yes, I think that would be appropriate.

Where are you, Holland? Come on. I know

you're out there somewhere.

Show yourself.

Seems we have an unlikely alliance.

I'm not sure I understand you.

Well, there's only one person that could

convince someone they'd seen a swamp

creature, and that's a swamp creature

somewhat like yourself.

Lar Ro was thought to be cured of his

hallucinations, but you made sure he was

not.

I failed to see how that allies us.

Well, we're both after the same thing,

aren't we? With Lar Ro locked up and far

away, I don't have to worry about any

more little midnight visits. Even still,

I can't quite work out how he did it.

Who says he did?

Well, of course he did.

You're the only one who ever saw it.

Maybe Lar Ro isn't the only one with

troubling hallucinations.

Think about it.

and sleep well tonight.

Now I am in your dreams.

Heat. Heat.
