Help

me. Somebody help me. Help me.

Let me in. Let me in. Please let me in.

Help me.

What the hell is going on?

Help me.

Who is it?

Let me in. Please. Who is it?

Who is it?

Don't let him get me. Shut the door.

Who? What?

Shut the door.

What are you talking about?

It's all right. You're safe here.

Not from them. Not safe anywhere.

Oh, man. You really hit your head. Are

you all right, man? Where is he?

I was driving in my my car.

There was a big light in the sky. My

head. My head. Okay. It's okay.

Come on. No.

I drove my car right at him. Right at

the leader. He was going to kill me, but

I got him first.

You got who?

The leader.

The leader of the aliens. Help

me.

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.

Tress, I looked everywhere. There's

nothing out there.

Is he okay?

He's sick.

No kidding. That story was unbelievable.

I didn't mean that. His pulse is racing

and his temperature is way up. He needs

medical attention.

Do we know who he is yet?

No, there's no wallet. Nothing.

I'm going to call doctor.

No, I already tried. There's nothing but

static on the phone.

That's weird.

I know. You're going to have to go into

town for help

and leave you alone with this wacko.

Come on. He's talking about being chased

by aliens. He's either drunk or crazy.

Either way, I'm not going

No, he's too sick to be moved, Will.

I can take care of myself. I don't think

there's anything to worry about.

I've lost too much blood. I must get

into the swamp.

Batteries are getting low. Look, I'm

going to be checking in from time to

time, so keep the base station on, okay?

If that guy starts anything, you ask

questions later,

okay?

Who are you?

Dress a Kip.

How did I get here? Tell me.

You're not well. You need to lie down.

I have to complete my mission.

Complete it later. Lie down. Look,

if you don't conserve your strength, you

won't be able to do anything.

Oh god.

There, that's better. Now, you want to

answer my question? Who are you?

Oh,

my name is Guthrie and I'm a salesman.

What do you sell?

What's your mission?

Mission?

It's your word, not mine. You said you

had to complete your mission.

My mind isn't working very straight.

Well, that's okay. You had a pretty bad

accident.

Oh, I remember. The aliens are after me.

The aliens,

they're after me.

I don't expect you to believe me.

I'm not imagining it. They're out there.

I saw them. They're

They're what?

Look, Mr. Guthrie, you can trust me. I'm

trying to help you.

They're after me and they'll find me.

Well, why are they after you? What did

you do?

Nothing.

I don't know. I can't remember. I can't

remember anything before the light.

Well, this isn't make believe, is it?

No, it's real enough. You had an

accident.

You know, they're not like little green

men at all. You know, this one was big,

enormous,

like a man.

even you can't help me now.

The damage it's too great.

Will, can you hear me? Over.

Will,

turn on your radio. Will

repeating the all points bulletin. All

officers, be on the lookout for Steven

Guthrie. Escaped from Huma State

Hospital. Suspect is considered mentally

unstable with possible violent

tendencies. Description is as follows.

Male Caucasian, approximately 6 ft tall,

dark.

Hello,

is anybody there?

Oh my god. Alec. Alec.

Tresa, come in. Tresa, can you hear me?

Will, where have you been? I've been

trying to reach you.

I found his car. It's a wreck. I know

what he is.

Alec,

how'd you know?

He came too and started talking.

Is Alec there? Is he okay?

Probably not. It looks like he dragged

himself into the swamp.

Well, it gets worse. I know who our

friend is.

Lock the doors to the office. I'm coming

back right now.

No, Will. You've got to find Alec

and leave you there with the psycho.

I'll get the gun from the bedroom. I'll

be okay. Just find Alec.

Okay, but you stay near the radio.

I didn't hear you come in. Who is Alec?

Alec is my friend. I'm your friend, Mr.

Guthrie.

I have no friends,

only my mission. Yes, I remember now.

It's all coming back to me. Terminate

the Renegade. I followed him for 43

light years across space to your planet.

I am the destroyer

with directives to terminate.

Alex,

where are you?

Alec, it's me. Will

Alec,

I was afraid humans would get in the

way.

I have no specific directive to

terminate a human

unless they interfere with my mission.

Nobody's interfering with anything.

Guthrie, try to remember. You were in a

bad accident. Before that, you were in a

hospital.

Yes, that's right. A mental hospital.

I was looking for him there. I know how

his mind works. He was planning to use

his alien nature to his advantage. What

better place than an institution where

madness is the norm? But he wasn't

counting on the fact that he just might

start to transform back early. So, he

ran off and I chased him.

But I didn't finish the job.

Once your friend locates him,

Alec is not the one you're looking for.

Believe me,

he is a renegade, the betrayer.

He must not be allowed to return to my

world.

Listen to me, please. Your name is

Steven Guthrie. You escaped from St.

Bart's Hospital. There are people there

who can help you. Alec is not from

another world. He's a human being who

was injured in a horrible accident. He's

no more human than I am. And I am a

destroyer.

You're dangerously ill. Your pulse and

temperature are racing.

Yes.

It seems I'm going to die. If

you just let me help you.

No one on this planet can help me.

Your people wouldn't even know where to

begin.

No. To die so far from home alone. It's

your animal metabolism. It's burning me

up like a furnace. Only mammals can live

like this.

You see,

on my world, it was the plants that

evolved intelligence,

developed technology,

conquered the stars.

You're trying to tell me you're a plant.

Certainly not like any of the plants you

have here on Earth.

Oh, no. Of course not. And your

appearance. We

We have the technology to transform

ourselves to assume your appearance and

function, but we live at a much lower

metabolic rate.

This form accelerates us far beyond our

capacity.

We burn up.

I must finish my mission before that

happens.

Alec

will Alec, just hold on. I'm here.

Will you go home again after your

mission is over?

No. The metamorphosis is irreversible

and fatal.

I see.

You're trying to humor me. That's fine.

Doesn't matter.

So, you're going to kill my friend?

You're just going to murder him that

easy? Have you ever killed anyone

before, Guthrie?

Yes,

I'm sure I have.

My mind is still a bit fuzzy.

Oh. Uh, beings from your planet don't

have better memories than humans.

You're trying to trap me with some sort

of lopsided logic?

No, no. I'm just curious. Where were you

born? Are there states on your planet,

cities, or better yet, what's the name

of your world?

It would be unpronouncable to you.

Uhhuh.

You have a son?

Yes. His name is Jim.

Him?

I have a son, too.

And I'm not allowed to see my son.

And that more than anything drives me

closer to madness,

knowing I won't be able to see my son

again.

Maybe I could do something. Um, I could

talk to your doctor or you could tell me

where your son lives.

He lives

43 light years from here.

Destroyers are forbidden by the state to

have any contact with family.

It makes them weak.

Tresa, it's me. Come in.

Tresa, can you hear me? Come in.

I'm here, Will.

I found him. He's in really bad shape.

Listen to me very carefully now.

We're near Jackson's Creek. I need you

to get here as quick as you can with the

boat. We got to get him to his cave.

It's the only chance he's got. Over.

Will I

take me to him now?

A, can you hear me? Hey, everything's

going to be okay. Huh?

I'm dying. Will,

what? No. No. The swamp can heal you. It

always has.

There's too much damage. I've lost too

much blood.

My whole body is going into shock.

No.

No. You got to hang on. Do you hear me?

You got to hold on till gets here with

the boat.

Will,

I don't want you to watch me die.

Call him now.

Well,

Tesa, over here.

Will,

he's too weak to walk. So, I built a

sled so we can drag him. Move away.

Move. Move.

You know me.

No, I don't know you.

He's the one who hit you, Alec. He

thinks he's an alien with a mission to

kill you.

You betrayed your race. Your world.

The sentence is death.

You're crazy.

Will. I've betrayed no one. I'm not from

your world. You hadn't mutated back to

our form. I may have never found you,

but I have you now, Renegade.

And what of my crimes?

Crimes against the state.

The state has been the only thing that

has kept us alive.

Perhaps you should worry about what's

killing you off first.

What's he doing?

What's killing us off is our own greed.

We've decimated our animal population,

polluted our habitats, squandered our

resources until our very species was at

risk. And you you ignored the law and

came here to Earth looking for answers.

And what did you find?

Animals run this world. Animals. What

kind of an answer is that to take back

to our people?

There are no answers here.

Earth is a planet in crisis as well,

desperately seeking its own solutions.

What do you mean?

It makes no sense for a renegade to come

to Earth looking for answers to your

environmental problems.

But this planet is teeming with plant

life.

And it's dying at an irresponsible rate

for the same reasons you've just

explained to me.

But that would mean you've failed in

your mission. your mission.

My mission.

I remember it all now.

I am the one.

The authorities on my planet called me a

radical because I sought the truth. I

left my planet because it was dying. I

came here to Earth looking for the

answers.

I am the renegade.

The destroyer.

The destroyer is still after me. Your

lives are all at risk. You must run.

All right. Get over here. You're going

to help me carry him.

No, Will. It's too late. Go.

What do you mean it's too late?

I'm almost gone.

Please leave me.

We can't.

Everything dies eventually. Now may be

that time for me. I can't accept that,

Alec. I won't accept that.

Will, your being here depletes my energy

even more. I must be alone to

concentrate on getting well.

Please, it's my only chance.

Tresser, please take him.

Well, we have to leave Alec. He needs to

concentrate.

I can't let you die alone.

I'll stay.

Terresa,

as you said, I'm very sick myself.

My heart will probably give out at any

minute.

Go.

When I'm gone, they'll be safe. The

Earth will be safe. The destroyer will

have no reason to stay here.

You know, don't you?

Yes. But there's no reason for them to

know.

Knowing that another world faces similar

problems with no solutions would not

help mankind.

The people on my world called me an

environmental crackpot.

And I called myself my world's last

great hope.

I have failed.

But I see in you the hope of another

world.

I would call you friend.

If I hadn't done this to you,

I will call you friend regardless.

Will and Treza,

you told them you had a chance just to

get them to leave.

Why?

I didn't want them to watch me die. They

don't need that.

Ironic.

My greatest fear is that I would die

alone.

My energy level is low.

There may be enough left to do one last

thing.

I cannot save my world,

but at least

I can help yours.

Heat. Heat.

Don't

lose your battle,

my friend.

The swamp is a living ecosystem, part of

a larger system called Earth, which in

turn is part of a greater ecosystem of

the stars. In it, we are all brothers

and sisters with just as much at stake

in our collective destiny.

Heat. Heat. N.

Heat. Heat.

Hey,
