Alec

Will,

I just heard on the news there's a

hurricane heading straight at Homa.

I know. My senses tell me this will be

the worst storm in 50 years. I'm afraid

many lives will be lost.

Really? Can't you do something about it?

A hurricane is nature's cleansing tool.

My powers are ineffective against it.

It's a part of nature I'll never

understand, but I must accept.

Well, what about you? I mean, you you're

unprotected out here.

I'll just have to take my chances.

No, wait. No, no. You're coming with me

to the house. It's on high ground.

I can't. I'm a part of the swamp. And

even though the swamp may be destroyed,

it's here I must be.

Can I help you?

Uh, yes. I'm looking for Tresa Langford.

Does she still live here?

Yeah, sure does. Uh, Miss

Langford. I'm Tessa's sister, Leslie.

No kidding. She never told me she had a

sister.

That's because I don't.

My sister died a long time ago.

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.

Don't do this. Please. If you're here to

witness the birth of your nephew Jim,

you missed it by 12 years, Leslie. And

if you're back for mama's funeral,

you're 3 years too late.

Well, you can't make me feel any worse

than I already do.

Let me try. Every day mama was in the

hospital, she asked me if I found you

yet. Not one day went by that she didn't

ask, and I had to tell her no.

And I'll never forgive myself.

Yeah, well, that makes two of us.

I wrote you letters

and I tore them up without reading them.

Tresa, you've got to understand. I never

meant to hurt you, but I I was angry and

confused. Leaving home was not my idea.

Mama didn't mean what she said.

She sounded convincing to me. I know I

was a lot of trouble to her, but I was

just a kid. And kids do stupid things

sometimes,

like taking their hurt out on the wrong

people.

Why did you come back here, Leslie? Why

the hell after all these years did you

COME BACK?

BECAUSE I HAD NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. You're

looking at a desperate woman, Tresa.

Dimmitri died suddenly, and I wasn't

handling it very well. And all I could

think about was coming home and hoping

for the best.

I'm sorry about your husband, Leslie,

but that doesn't change a thing between

us.

I hate you for making me do this.

And like it or not, this house is half

mine. And I'm staying here in Huma in

our family home until we work this out.

Damn it, Leslie. This is all your fault.

Here,

let me help.

Alec.

Oh, thank you.

Are you okay?

I don't think I broke anything.

I was talking about another kind of

pain.

Why are you out here alone? No,

I just needed to think about some

things.

Sometimes it helps to talk to a friend.

Long time ago, my sister left a note

saying, "Goodbye. See you later." and

took off to see the world.

It must have been difficult.

I wanted to forget I even had a sister.

Problem is, our birthdays are days

apart. So, every year I'm forced to

remember.

Trust her. You've carried this pain for

too long. Let it go.

I can't let her hurt me again, Alex. She

ran out on us.

Is that how she remembers it? Your

sister is here and now. The very thing

you hoped for for all these years. You

may never get another chance. Think

about it, Tresa.

Don't the good times count for anything?

No, no, no.

Yes, this is Mrs. Dmitri Fonte. I need

to speak with Avery Winsler right away.

It's regarding LDDB.

Uh, what time? Tomorrow.

Yeah. Uh, uh, no. Uh, no message. I'll

call back. Thank you,

Lesie.

Hi, it's me, Will. I uh I just I brought

you some extra candles.

Thanks, Will.

I hate to put you out like this. I hope

you understand.

Don't worry about it. It's fine.

It's just so nice to be around family

right now. Even if it's family that's

not so glad to see me.

Well, so you got moved in.

Yeah. This old room brings back a flood

of memories.

Uh, look, I'd like to clear the air

about something, Leslie.

Anything.

It's about mom's estate. You should know

that it's all been spent. For the better

part of last year, I used it looking for

my son. I even had to use the house as

collateral for some of my expenses. I'm

not here for the money, Tresa.

But what's this about Jim? Where is he?

Uh, it's it's a long story. He's fine.

He's with his father now. Just thought

you should know where the money went.

Um, we better finish boarding up before

dark.

Yeah, you bet.

Yeah, this is Raul. I uh got the

pictures.

Yes, I met her once at some party with

Dimmitri.

No, I brought along an associate of mine

to handle the uh paperwork.

Look, this is a one-horse town. If she's

here, we'll find her.

I'm telling you, I think she's in some

kind of trouble.

Leslie thrives on trouble.

That's it. That's all you got to say

about it? I don't believe you.

Whatever it is, I don't want to get

involved.

Look, I I think she just wants to ask

you for help and doesn't know how.

Well, where was she when I needed a

shoulder to cry on? Playing blackjack

with Princess Dye.

Hey, can I ride into town with you?

I'm just going in for supplies.

Well, it seems as good a time as any to

start helping out.

The clerk said the weather forecast has

a storm stalled, but it's going to be a

doozy. He sent his wife and kids inland.

Do you think we ought to be going to one

of the shelters? Nah,

we've been through a few of these

before. We'll be all right.

dress up. Let's go. Let's go.

Kip swamp tours.

She seems really uptight about

something. I saw a gun, Alec, with my

own eyes.

I don't I don't know why Tess is being

so indifferent.

Let Tessa deal with her feelings the

best way she knows how.

Look, I think that Leslie's in some real

danger.

We're all in danger today. Will get home

before this storm gets any nearer. Tresa

and Leslie need you.

Yeah, well, they're not the only ones

that I'm worried about. Look, there's no

reason why you have to be out here. What

difference does it make how you survive

the storm? As long as you survive it.

It makes a lot of difference to the

swamp. If nature intends me to survive

this hurricane, then I will.

Get dressed. I found her. Rain is

starting to fall and the traffic out of

town is bumper to bumper. A couple of

accidents on Route 38 are making the

going even tougher. So, if you're not on

the road now, go to the nearest shelter

with as many blankets and supplies as

you can carry to wait out the storm.

Looks like Lesie is trapped in Homer.

There's an ironic poetry to that.

Let's go.

There's got to be a bus leaving before

that. Yeah, I know. I know about the

storm, but

Leslie, what's this all about? I've got

a chance to visit some old friends.

That's all. And the urge to see them

just suddenly came up in town. Is that

it?

I told you some painful memories were

closing in on me when we were kids.

Don't insult me, Leslie. Try telling the

truth for a change. You can't just walt

back into my life after all this time

and then banish again with no

explanation. If you're in trouble, I'm

not in any trouble.

Really?

How can you been looking for this?

I called mama once, kind of hinted about

coming home. She said no. She was still

angry with me. After that, I bounced

around pretty aimlessly, feeling sorry

for myself. Took a job on a cruise ship

for a while and eventually found myself

backpacking across Europe.

That's where I met Dimmitri

in Paris.

I thought he was so continental.

We found ourselves falling in love, got

married, and for a while I forgot all my

troubles.

How did he die, Leslie?

It was a car bomb.

Some weeks earlier, he'd given me a key

to a safety deposit box in Paris.

This is what was in the box.

Enter code preference.

My dearest Leslie, if you are listening

to this message, it means that I am

dead. For your own safety, take the

computer disc and return to America.

Once there, contact Avery Winslow at

Interpol and tell him it's regarding

LDDB.

I love you, my darling, always. and

communicate

to know what's on the discont

names and account numbers.

Dimmitri was a respected international

banker.

A year ago, he learned that one of his

officers, a man named Raul Espinosa, was

laundering money through his banks.

Laundrying money

for who?

Terrorist groups, drugs, whoever.

Dimmitri convinced Interpol to let him

infiltrate the cartel and pass

information back to them. They were

about to close in on the operation when

he he was when he was killed.

Leslie, I can't believe you're involved

in something like this.

I'm not. I I was involved with a

wonderful man and a wonderful husband,

and I'd give anything to wake up out of

this nightmare and have him back.

The man in town, Leslie, who was he?

I'm sure he was Espinosa.

That's why I've got to leave.

You can't leave during the storm. You'd

never make it.

What else can I do?

One thing, we can stash those discs.

I didn't know we had a secret hiding

place.

Okay,

there.

Here. Put this in there, too.

What's that?

It's a letter that Leslie wrote when she

left. I must have read it a thousand

times looking for answers.

I thought you tore them all up. I lied.

Look, no matter how painful it was,

Leslie, I couldn't let go. I had to have

something to remember.

I'm going to I'm going to go check the

batteries in the portable television.

Hurricane Renee has been upgraded to the

most destructive class 5 category. These

shots from the coast will show you what

a monster she is.

I need to get the cellar door open.

Excuse me. Residents of the surrounding

low-lying communities are advised to

stay inside and call one of the

emergency numbers that appear on your

screen for assistance.

Oh my god, Espinosa.

Mrs. Fonte, it's been a while since we

last met.

I will.

Will

Look,

I don't want to hurt you, Mrs. Fonte. I

only want the discs.

You're lying. You'll kill us whether we

give you anything or not.

Fine, then why don't I start with her?

DON'T HURT MY SISTER.

Your sister?

Well, well,

how about you give me the discs or your

sister will be the first to die.

She doesn't even have them. They're

buried in the swamp.

She telling the truth,

is she?

Yeah.

As soon as this storm's over, we're

going for a little tour of the swamp.

Ladies,

the killer hurricane is battering Homa

with all its force. Severe road flooding

and power outages have been reported

throughout the area. This could be a

long one, folks, so just settle in.

Shh.

He can't help us now. We're on our own.

Listen.

The eyes passing.

It feels like the whole world stopped.

Okay, ladies. It's time to play Find the

Discs.

You heard the man on the TV say it was

dangerous.

He said 30 minutes.

No,

no.

Well, well, what other little treats do

we have here? Look at this.

Look, you got what you wanted. Now get

out of here.

Brave, young man. You know you're one

too many around here. Gerard, take him

to the cellar. No,

that storm out there, it's a killer.

Anyone caught out there probably be dead

in a few hours.

Probably never find the bodies. Oh well,

you should thank me. Soon your sister

will be with Dimmitri and you will be

with your brave young friend.

This storm is a killer, but it's also

justice.

Alec, Leslie's been shot.

She's lost a lot of blood. You've got to

help her. Please,

where am I?

Spinosa. Sh.

You don't ever have to worry about him

again. Just get some sleep.

Will,

you really know how to turn a family

upside down.

How did you

We had some help from a friend.

You sleep now.

Everything's fine.

You took the words

right out of my mouth.

Nature can cleanse itself, but sometimes

people must weather far greater storms.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

Heat.
