This woman, she belongs here in the

swamp and she doesn't belong. I don't

understand.

Hi.

I I didn't hear you drive up.

I didn't. That is I didn't drive up

here. My car is on the other side of the

creek over there.

I walked.

You walked?

That's some thick brush. I must be

pretty important.

It is me that's important, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Good. I was afraid my ego was going to

have to take another beating. Uh, Miss,

it is Miss, right? Not not Mrs.

Not anymore. Rowan like the tree.

Will Kip like Will Kip.

So, I guess this is where I'm supposed

to say. Uh, haven't we met somewhere

before?

Yes, we have.

There's a Philly, right?

A little further north and a long time

ago. Does Massachusetts ring a bell? My

old man's from there, but I've never

seen it. You You sure it wasn't Philly?

No.

We were together in a past life in Salem

in 1692.

The swan.

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.

Just don't humor me, Will. I'm confused

enough. I mean, I knew you were here in

Huma. Don't ask me how. I just knew.

But

am I here with you because I want to be

or because of some pre-planned fate?

300 years ago, huh?

No wonder I forgot.

I know why you're here.

You are here so I can invite you into

town for a drink.

on the house. Mr. Kingsley, it's the

least I can do. Since I owe you my bar,

my life, my living, you're not going to

foreclose on me. I hope

you worry too much, Jake. I know you're

good for it.

Knock on wood.

Knock on wood.

Do you ever have deja vu about museum

pieces from the 1600s or stories about

witch trials?

You know, to be honest, I don't go to

the museum that much, but hey, I'd be

willing to with the right guide.

Will, we had a romance back then. It

didn't work.

How about a second chance? I'm I'm I'm

better now. I'm brighter, more

sensitive, self-aware.

There's something else, and I don't know

what that is yet.

Something that

that terrifies me.

Clifford Kingsley.

Chef just put a lock on my place with my

boy looking on. You said you'd give me

time.

Your time, Luther, has run out. Nothing

else I could do. You

guys come on

down over here.

Me loose will damage it.

HEY, PUNCH EACH OTHER'S LIGHTS out isn't

helping anyone. Come on, Luther. Let me

get you something for that jaw.

Luther's a damned hothead. He doesn't

know anything about business. My dad

restructured that loan three times.

Luther had a fair chance.

Oh, give me a break, Carl. When Tres's

mother died, you swooped in on her house

like vultures.

Let's get out of here.

Luther, I'm no miracle worker, but I'll

talk to him about it.

Wait a minute. What the hell is this?

It's a witch's star.

It's a pentacle. It means good luck.

I know what it is. It's for witchcraft.

Now take it and get out. Jake, out now.

Will, before I have to throw you out.

You just did. Come on, Will.

Hey, wait, wait. Here, let me let me

help you. Let me

leave it alone. The catch is broken.

Hey, it's just a necklace. Don't get

angry.

Not to them, it's not. And not to me

either.

I'm sorry. I I haven't seen Jake act

like that before.

Really? Knock on wood. Throw salt over

your shoulder. He's been acting that way

all along. And if you remember, so did

you.

That wasn't fun. No, it's not, Will.

There are people who are very serious

about their superstitions, no matter who

it hurts. What's the use? You don't

understand it now when you didn't then.

I I can't even remember what I had for

breakfast, much less what happened 300

years ago.

What's the matter?

I have to go, Will.

Lord of the Greenwood,

Lady of the Fields,

give me the courage.

Help me to see

the witch.

Will. Will let me in. Will.

Will. Will. It's starting to happen all

over again. Oh no. Did I trigger it by

coming here?

What are you talking about?

Someone scratched a pentacle on my

window.

Oh no, my pentacle. I've lost it. I've

got to find it.

Right, wait. Okay, you're upset. Okay,

let let's deal with that now. Your your

necklace can wait.

You don't understand. It's a part of me

of my power. I have to have it to

protect myself.

Okay, I I'll protect you. Okay, now

look, whoever came to your window, some

wacko from town, probably Jake. I'll

talk to him tomorrow.

You don't believe anything I've said, do

you?

Look, you have thrown some pretty

bizarre things at me lately. I'm I'm

trying to keep up with you.

Well, get ready for something else to

add to your list. You're my husband.

You were back then.

We were very much in love, you and I. I

was a forest woman, a healer, a witch.

You know, I I don't mean to sound

ignorant, but you don't mean like like

pointy hats, broomsticks, bells, and

demons.

No, real witchcraft, as I understand it,

has nothing to do with Satanism.

It's about nature and healing.

Maybe it is fate.

Maybe nothing can protect me.

outside.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I thought I heard the wind.

It sounded like your name.

Yeah. Well, um uh why don't I just go

look around? I'll I'll I'll be right

back.

Alec

Man, am I glad to see you. This girl,

she

I know. This has told me a lot about

her.

Well, I wish you would fill me in on a

few facts.

Look, she thinks that we were married in

a past life. Now she's talking about

being some kind of witch. She's really

starting to freak me out.

You're doing that to yourself. There was

a time when the swamp looked on one of

that name with honor. Witches led game

to the hunter. knew where to plant and

when to harvest and how to use the

healing herbs. Magic was their science

of survival and man superstition was

their downfall.

Superstition. That's that's what she

keeps talking about.

That's something she'll have to deal

with.

Will, there's something else. A man has

been murdered.

Can I help you, officer?

Sure,

Clifford Kingsley had a lot of enemies,

but who'd want to kill him?

What has that got to do with us?

That's That's my knife.

I don't get it.

I was really starting to like this girl.

Maybe she's got one of those split

personalities.

What are you so afraid of?

Nothing.

All right.

If she did this, then she was using me

for an alibi. Maybe that's how witches

get their victims.

Listen to yourself. You're afraid of a

word.

It's not just a word. It's not just

murder. It's it's sick.

And what of her fear? Look into her

thoughts. Nobody can do that.

You haven't tried. I have.

Oh, yeah. Well, what'd you see? What?

Black cats and tarot cards.

Wait, where you going? I need you.

You need to grow up. You're wasting my

time. And Rowan needs my help.

So, you believe that she's innocent?

She's a friend of the swamp. Think

carefully, Will, before you pass

judgment on this woman. And trust your

feelings. Your mind holds the fear, not

your heart.

I uh I brought you something.

All I can tell you is that I didn't do

it. Will, I don't expect you to believe

me.

Rowan,

I believe you.

Everything that you've told me adds up

to one big no thank you.

But something inside of me tells me I

can trust you.

And what is that?

I don't know. But I have this friend who

puts a lot of faith and trust.

I put a lot of faith in what he says.

I'm scared, Will. I'm scared it's

starting all over again. What happened

to me before in Salem?

You mean about burning witches at the

stake? That went out with the Middle

Ages. No one believes that anymore.

Knock on wood.

Carl, what are you doing here?

Looking for you. You're a witness to

what happened over at the bar. I've

already told the sheriff that you were

with her before she killed my dad.

You don't know that? What about Luther?

He was ready to kill your dad right in

front of everyone at the bar.

Luther would have used a shotgun, not

black candles and a ritual knife like a

witch would use. A knife with her

fingerprints on it. The point is, Carl,

there were a lot of people who didn't

like your dad, but only one person did

it. This witch and her black magic.

I didn't kill your father.

Well, a lot of people in this town feel

differently.

Look, I'll be back. Don't worry about

anything. We're going to figure

something out, okay?

from the witch. The witch.

Burn the witch.

Burn the witch.

Terrible thing. Chills my blood just

thinking about it. Carl,

he loved this town. Believe me, Luther,

he never wanted to shut you down.

My kid cried when they put that lock on

the door. Still, it's not fair to you

what happened to your old man.

That girl sure didn't seem like a

murderer. But I heard you had some

trouble after we left, didn't you, Jake?

Something about a necklace?

Sign of the devil. I should have seen it

coming when I saw that thing she dropped

here. Here.

Well, which or not? She's in jail now

and she's not going to hurt anybody

else.

You know what I think? There's something

else going on here. Something evil.

Some pretty weird things have been

happening of late. Bill Odell had a

stillbornne fold just a few days ago and

Mrs. Tyler almost lost an eye in that

bicycle accident. Almost at the same

time that witch showed up. I bet if she

wanted to, she could kill every one of

us from right inside that jailer.

Well, does anybody know what we do about

this? How to protect ourselves?

Read your history books. There's a way

of dealing with witches.

Heat. Heat.

Rowan, it's me

now. Come on. We got to get out of here.

It's happening. It's happening again.

You You ARE THE ONE.

STOP. STOP living in the past. Start

living in the present now. Now. Come on.

Then it is destiny.

My good lord. Look what she did.

COME ON. THEY'RE AFTER YOU,

ROWAN.

Let go of the past.

It's all right. He's a friend.

Find the power. Take it. And forget what

you've assumed.

Alex, stop them. Do something.

I can't. She has to.

No, Rowan. Think your power. The power

of nature. Where is it?

No. Think where is it?

Can't you see how you're frightening

her?

No, Will. We must leave her.

But she's in danger.

It's something she has to do on her own.

I'm warning you, Will.

For her sake.

Will,

I'm not afraid. For the first time in my

life, I'm not afraid.

Hey. Hey. Hey. Look. Look. There she is.

Now we've got her.

What is this?

What's going on?

This is a joke, right,

Luther?

It was you. You killed him.

Make it stop.

Okay.

I had a gambling debts, bad debts. They

were going to kill me.

I took the money from the bank.

The old fool caught me.

You were outside my window. You drew the

pentagram. You fed their anger toward

me.

Yes. Yes. Damn you. I did it all, Carl.

You did it.

You guys can't believe he killed his

own.

So tell me, Ron,

what happened back there?

I found myself, Will. I have all the

answers to my questions.

And Alec knew all along. I knew we were.

You just didn't believe it of yourself.

So, you are a witch.

Yes. But more importantly, I'm not

afraid of it anymore. My power, my

belief in who I am was never in

question. I just didn't see it because

of this

superstition. Will, I believed in this.

And it's no less a symbol than knocking

on wood or throwing salt over your

shoulder

or burning a witch.

Or burning a witch. Me.

Once I was able to see past this symbol,

I was able to see myself more clearly.

What about me?

Was I the one 300 years ago?

Someone who looked like you used this to

portray me for what I was

today. You helped show me who I am, and

I'll never forget you for that.

It was me

300 years ago. It was me.

But why do you say that?

Why else would she come to Homo to find

me now?

Is it fate or destiny? Alec,

do you know?

Yes, I think I do.

What is it? Do we control our own lives?

I'll tell you later

when we're in about 300 years.
