No,

there's no reason to do this. You can't

release the Predator.

Let me handle this, please.

What the [ __ ] [ __ ]

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.

Will will

What's wrong?

The swamp. It's in crisis. It's

bypassing its normal mechanisms and has

unleashed a panther to deal with the

threat.

Panther with an agenda, huh? Wait a

minute. Wait, wait. Some guy was killed

in town by Panther last night. I think

it was Jack Barnes. You know, the guy

with the construction company.

Then it's begun.

Well, you must find out whatever you can

about Jack Barnes. The swamp is holding

me back.

Why?

It knows I would prevent whatever it's

trying to do.

Well, can't you just use some of your

powers?

The swamp is my power, and it's choosing

to take mine away.

Wait a minute. Why was this open?

Forget it. There's only one thing we

came for.

Arcane's going to be real happy about

this.

Hey, hey, Will. Will you go in such a

hurry? You all right, man?

Yeah. I heard on the radio there was

another panther attack. Is that what all

this commotion's about?

Yeah. Yeah. Sheriff's about to hold a

press conference.

There's something going on here, Tim.

Something big.

You're telling me. Hey, look. I got to

get down to radiology. All right. We got

several patients in. Always something

weird.

Hey, how weird?

We don't know. They all ate a

fisherman's haunt, right? So the doctors

thought it was food poisoning.

Turned out to be something different.

How different?

Well, the symptoms are like what people

get when they're exposed to lowle

radiation, which doesn't make any sense

since we're not exactly around a three-

mile island. You know,

that is strange.

Right now, ladies and gentlemen, I have

a statement.

I regret to announce the death of Mr.

Steven Dutton. He was killed by a wild

swamp panther, presumably the same

panther that killed Jack Barnes last

night. Now, I want to reassure all of

you that we're doing everything we can

to find this animal.

Sheriff, can you tell us anything about

Mr. Dutton?

Not much. Uh, all I know is he's not

from around here.

Did he have any connection with Barnes?

Next question.

Sheriff, was there any reason why you

and Arcane's assistant were pulling

files from Barnes Construction tonight?

That was police business. Now, if you

were there, you were trespassing.

It's a legitimate question, Sheriff. How

do you answer that?

That's all for now. Sheriff, one more

question.

What do you bet he's holding out about

Dutton, too?

Mhm. Yeah. Maybe the clipboard will say

something. All right. It says here that

Dutton was assistant regional director

of the NRC.

NRC? What? Nuclear Regulatory Commission

list patients with symptoms of low-level

radiation poison.

That's a big leap, man.

What are those?

Radiation badges. We use them all the

time to test for radioactive content.

Right now, why would someone like Barnes

use these in his construction company?

Maybe he's concerned about radioactive

waste.

I think there's a connection between

that panther and these.

What time you get off work?

You are definitely testing our

friendship, buddy.

Okay. You see this? This is the fish

farm here that supplies the restaurant.

We got to check her out. How do these

work again?

All right. All right. If there's

nothing, it'll come out clear. Trace

amount show up blue, significant levels

green, dangerous levels red. Be my

guest.

Hold this. Okay.

Okay. See that here? It's right there.

This the stream feeds this area and it

runs right up

right by Arcane's complex.

Let's go.

Come on.

Tell me why. Why am I your adversary?

When have I ever failed to defend you?

I know the laws of nature demand that

you fight back,

but revenge breeds destructiveness.

Let me help.

Whatever it is,

please.

Tim. Tim, come here. Check this out.

This water is being piped in directly

from Arcane's complex.

Right.

There's only one way Arcane can be

producing these kind of levels, man.

A reactor.

Well, what has this got to do with the

Panther?

I don't know. Come on, let's get going.

I'm telling you, doctor, there's

something strange about both men being

killed.

You're just paranoid, Grant.

At least hear me out. Barnes built your

reactor. Dutton supply the components

for it. Both have been mauled within 24

hours by a species not known to

wantingly attack humans. Doesn't that

worry you?

You're obviously suffering from

delusions brought on by ridiculous

fears.

You're afraid of this penicious puss.

Well, answer it. Will you do something

useful?

Laboratory.

Yeah, sure.

I'll tell him

there was another panther attack.

Who? Bill Randall, editor of the Huma

Courier Journal. He knew about the

reactor, didn't he?

I paid him handsomely to keep it out of

his pitiful rag.

I'll put the complex on alert.

The panther will kill Arcane. And it

won't let anything stand in its way.

This is worse than I feared.

Why? I mean, look what Arcane has done

to you. Look what he's done to the

swamp. Huh? Maybe it's for the best.

No. If the panther ingests Arcane's

evil, it will carry it into the world.

It will breed and multiply and each

panther will be more evil than the one

before. You must stop this will. You

must guard Arcane.

WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING?

THE SWAMP IS using its power to pull you

back. Try again.

IT'S NOT WORKING, ALEX.

When I reach the space between the swamp

and your car, go

Bloody hell is going on.

Call security. Must be a false alarm.

Something's wrong. It's dead.

This is Dr. Arcane.

I demand that all outside security call

in. Report to me now.

The hell are they doing?

Answer me. Damn it.

Bloody cowards.

Graham, I'm holding you responsible for

this.

You can't blame them, can you? If this

thing's coming after you.

Panthers are not rational creatures.

They don't target their prey

selectively.

I wouldn't have thought so either until

tonight.

Damn it. Alert interior security. Seal

everything.

Alas, my overgrown feline friend,

you just made one fatal mistake. You

walked into your own trap.

Nasty little thing, aren't you?

Think of the possibilities, Graeme, to

capture and control such an awesome

predator.

Bloody fortune to feed it.

It's in the hallway leading to the lab.

Excellent.

You have the tranquilizers for your

rifle. Use them, you idiot.

You'll be dead, but so what? I have a

plan.

We'll use gas if necessary.

But there's nothing in the lab.

Then we'll deise something. Besides,

you'll never get through the force field

at the security gate.

Damn. If he hits the force field, it

takes 10 seconds to reset.

Yes, I know. Get him, you malicious

muggy. Rip him apart.

Damn it.

Damn it, Graeme. Is this the best I

could get for my money?

I'm sorry, sir.

Well, unless this cat can operate an

elevator, we should be quite safe in

here.

I didn't think it'd get this far.

Well, let's make sure, then, shall we?

Now then,

splendid. That should do it. Now, how

else could he uh the emergency stairway

wants to come in? Graham, here. Holding.

That's

Graham. Coward.

Okay.

Oh, keep calm.

Be calm, my fine furry feline friend.

We're really quite alike, you and I. You

know, we can reason together.

Distracted, Graham. Damn it.

You're really quite extraordinary, you

know. Yes. One of the most exquisite

killing machines on the face of the

earth.

But you really wouldn't like my flesh

and blood. It's far too unique.

Dr. Kane, I'll be back. Graeme, don't

worry. Keep calm.

Poor

Graham. What a wally.

Please, please, Dr. Arcane.

I can't

Now to consider my options.

What are you after?

What have I ever done to you?

Bloody hell. You almost gave me a heart

attack. How'd you get the elevator to

work? I got the pass key from one of

your guards. Oh, well, I'll have a word

with him.

He's dead. Saves me the trouble. This is

some sort of twisted revenge, isn't it?

This cat. This is all Holland's doing, I

expect. Believe me, if it wasn't for

Alec, I wouldn't be here.

Why are you helping me? I have no idea.

What are you waiting for? Go.

Well, this is bloody marvelous.

What the hell are we doing?

So, it was you.

I can't control events, Arcane. You're

doomed unless you seek absolution.

ABSOLUTION FROM A BLOODY CAT.

LOOK, he's here. He's coming for me.

He's going to kill me. Use your powers.

I told you I can't.

Do you believe me now?

All right, you made your bloody point.

In the past, I have done certain things

which could be construed as having a

negative effect on people.

Come on, Kane.

Stay out of this, kid. I'll handle it my

way.

Over the years, despite the fact that my

work has been totally dedicated to the

advancement of mankind.

What a croc, man. You're about to become

kitty food, buddy.

Shut up.

There have been some unfortunate

mistakes.

I'll be the first to admit that. But

they were honest mistakes.

Okay, come on.

The truth, Arcane.

All right. There have been a few dead

bodies here and there, and the rest I

pretty much knobbled for the rest of

their life, but they deserved it.

All right. They didn't deserve it. I

used them for my experiments, which I

still insist will one day eradicate

pestilence and disease from the face of

the Earth.

Oh, yes, the reactor. Well, I I'll

dismantle it. I'll dispose of the waste

and I'll I'll give money to the people

who are hurt.

You don't get it, do you?

What do you want from me? Damn it.

Admitting is not enough.

Oh, you want me on my knees there? I'm

on my knees. You want me to be humble?

It's not a matter of what I want.

Just say it, Pan. God allows us to be

different. I FOLLOW MY OWN PARTICULAR

PATH.

ARCANE.

Forgive me

for I have sinned.

We must HEAR YOU.

FORGIVE ME FOR I HAVE SINNED.

Man cannot place himself above nature.

To be humbled is to recognize the real

power that gives life and fights to

sustain what is precious.

Heat. Heat.
