To touch life.

To be with Ann.

To be the man I was and want to be

again.

I would pay any price.

About time.

I missed you, darling.

God, I love you.

Just to touch your skin.

Your hair.

Ann, it's me.

It's me.

It's me.

It's me.

No, damn it.

Not again.

You can't have your eggs. I need them.

Not again.

They can't be gone.

There There must be some I haven't

found.

Maybe it's better to live in a dream

when the world itself is a nightmare.

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.

Alec?

Hey.

Hey, you all right?

Go away.

I haven't seen you since you started

working on your cure.

Is Is this part of it?

I want to be alone with her.

Come on, Alec. Talk to me. Leave us

alone.

Us? What do you mean us? Ann.

She's waiting for me.

Alec.

We're going away.

I found freedom with Ann.

Freedom? What do you mean freedom from

what? I was searching for a cure

and I accidentally found freedom from

these shriveled roots you see and the

dead branches.

With this,

I can live.

That stuff's got you drugged, Alec.

Go home, Will. No, drugs only put you

back in the same place only feeling

worse. Nothing could be worse than to be

condemned to live here like this. That's

garbage, man.

I got friends who've been strung out all

over the place. They all spout the same

damn line.

The only thing is that the longer that

you stay drugged up, the more you're

going to feel sorry for yourself.

First thing we got to do is get this

monkey off your back. Give me those

eggs.

No.

I'll get Ann out here. She'll make you

understand what you're doing to

yourself.

Well, Graham.

It's Will Kipp.

Who dear. What a shame. You're going to

help him, aren't you, Anton?

You are a doctor, after all.

Yes, of course.

The doctor.

It must be so wonderful to be able to

help people like this. Yes, but it's all

in the hands, dear.

Mason,

beta activity in a delta state. We have

something of a

dilemma here, Graham.

We found no traces of drugs or alcohol

in the Jeep, yet he shows every sign of

being heavily intoxicated.

Maybe he just got knocked out in the

accident.

Maybe.

I want you to check the Jeep again.

And I mean

check everything completely.

Meanwhile,

I should endeavor to enjoy the rest of

my evening.

Ann.

Ann.

Darling, you stayed away much too long.

You look radiant.

I've got a surprise for you.

A surprise?

Hello.

So, all this then.

Egg shell fragment.

And a fresh wound to the hand.

This piece fits the puzzle.

Behold, Graham.

A unique little combination of elements,

two of which resemble the chemical

structures of LSD and opium.

From an egg?

Iguana smorphicus.

I can tell you this,

you don't see many of those about.

Of course, I won't be sure until I uh

receive a specimen intact.

Do you think he'll tell us?

Well,

he won't have much choice, will he?

A preliminary observation.

Poor boy will need his sleep before we

question him.

Such simple pleasures.

How I've missed them.

Alec.

Come dance with me.

No.

Make love to me, Alec.

What's going on?

How did I get in here?

What am I doing here?

It's a long and boring story, but this

had something to do with it. What are

you talking about? I want you to tell me

where you got this eggshell. Eggs are

bad for you. Too much cholesterol.

Cocky little twit, isn't he?

These are special eggs, are they not?

It's a complex world, Will. People need

escape.

This might just be the ticket. And where

are they?

Make no mistake.

This drug means immense wealth and power

to the person who controls it, and I

intend to be that person. I can't

remember.

Oh, good.

Well, let's see what some high oxygen

pentothal

does for your memory.

Lie.

Pentothal's interacting with the drug

already in the system.

It'll drive him insane if it doesn't

kill him first.

The art of persuasion has its risks,

Graham.

Come back.

How did I do?

You won.

What if the flower answered I loved you

not?

Then I'd find a new flower and start all

over again.

You love me.

You'll always love me.

And I'll always love

No!

I KNOW.

NO!

NO!

Where are they?

The eggs.

Will

Will

I want those eggs back.

My old friend, Alec Holland, is

addicted. Now, if you'll tell me where

he is and where the eggs are

I told you! I don't know what you're

talking about.

Such loyalty.

It's truly amazing.

You should take note of this, Graham.

Now, listen.

We can have a nice little chat here, you

and I,

or you can be the first to experience

the effects of this marvelous new drug,

as augmented by my own special research,

of course.

It's your choice.

No?

Very well.

I'm dying, Ash.

Will!

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THEM?

Holland Holland

Holland

Holland

No!

No!

Leave me!

Get out of my mind!

No!

Graham!

Get out.

You told the doctor all he needs to

know. He doesn't need you anymore.

Besides, he doesn't like his upholstery

stained when it can be avoided.

You stupid twit.

Twit.

Please.

Please. Just one more.

There must be one more egg.

Ann.

You happy?

Yes.

Finally.

Bring a friend with you?

Doesn't exist. Don't think about it.

Ann!

Ann!

Damn it.

Will?

Ann, Ann, come on. It's Alec. You've got

to help me find him.

What's happened? He's He's gotten hold

of some kind of lizard eggs in the

swamp, and they're they're drugging him,

and he's addicted.

What? But Alec would

No, I'm telling you. Listen to me. He

doesn't even know what's real anymore.

He's in a bad way.

I'll get dressed.

Where should we go?

Far away.

Wherever you want.

The swamp.

Time to return home, my friend.

No.

No!

You must go back. Now.

Alec!

It's me, Ann!

Alec?

Ann.

I just left you.

Careful. That stuff got to me, too.

How long has he been like this?

A week, maybe more.

He was working on his cure, and he got a

hold of these eggs somehow. Damn it,

Alec. We were supposed to work on this

together.

Ann.

Alec, talk to me, please. The eggs. I

need the eggs.

No, I won't let you. You can't stop me.

Stop it.

Now, listen to me. I must get back to

you.

Please. Alec, that's not the answer.

Whatever you're seeing is a fantasy.

It's not real.

I held you in my arms tonight,

and I kissed you.

I touched your hair.

We sipped wine together, the finest

wine.

And we loved.

I'll find a way out for you, together. I

swear.

We won't give up till we do.

You're not alone in this. I'm going to

help you.

I'm right here for you.

Alec, you mean a lot to me, more than I

realized.

Well,

this is very touching.

The junkie pleading for his fix. I'm

sorry we interrupted you. We did try to

get here a bit early, but uh

Graham here seems to be in a bit of

pain. You followed me here.

I followed you. What do you think you

were escaped on your own? I helped. Yes,

you did.

Very good job.

Now,

I would like the eggs, please. They

aren't for you. Look, I've no intention

of debating this with you.

It's a transmitter on the carotid

artery.

Pentothal didn't work, you see, so this

would be what you would call plan B.

Now, I would like the eggs or I kill

him.

Your choice.

There are no more eggs. Let him breathe,

you lunatic. I really why now every

junkie has his own private little stash

hidden away.

Very well.

This is the last one.

In my selfishness, I've nearly made them

extinct. You're lying, doctor.

Look around you.

You really can't just say no, can you?

Must be very addictive. Give it to me.

First, the transmitter.

Lovely holding hands with you, doc.

I'll be leaving now.

Leave without the egg

or I'll crush the entire contents into

your bloodstream and you will die.

Okay.

Got a shot back at the lab. I can always

make a synthetic.

Come up and see us sometime. You need a

fix.

Alec.

Hide it safely, Will.

And if I ever ask you where, you must

never tell me.

No one is immune to temptation, not even

me.

But drugs are not the answer. They will

only destroy you.
