1
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,439
Hello.

2
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:34,160
Hello.

3
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:37,640
I sense something.

4
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:37,640
Talk to me.

5
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:46,960
What is wrong?

6
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:51,160
We are the swamp.

7
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,160
We are supposed to be one.

8
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,719
Don't pull away.

9
00:01:04,479 --> 00:01:08,920
Why are you turning away from me?

10
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:23,320
Why?

11
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:23,320
Why?

12
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,920
Will,

13
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:40,920
where are you?

14
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:54,680
I would hurt you. I'm your friend. I'm

15
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,680
no threat to you. I'm of the swamp.

16
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,119
Have you seen the camp or who was here?

17
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:02,119
He's my friend.

18
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,040
Looks like he didn't like you very much.

19
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,640
Who are you?

20
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,640
Professor Meisto at your service.

21
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:21,120
You don't seem very surprised at my

22
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:22,879
appearance. Appearances aren't

23
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:27,080
everything, are they?

24
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:27,080
Most people don't know that.

25
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:40,519
Feels like a nasty storm is coming up.

26
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,519
Funny how nature always warns us.

27
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Come in. COME IN. DON'T BE SHY.

28
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,879
Where am I?

29
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,879
How did I get here?

30
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:56,360
You can't find out until you inquire,

31
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:56,360
now can you?

32
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,000
Where am I? It can't be.

33
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,640
Look everyone, a creature.

34
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,840
I mean you no harm.

35
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:24,840
PROTECT YOURSELVES. HE'S DANGEROUS.

36
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,720
YEAH.

37
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,680
HEAT.

38
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:30,080
The swamp is my world. It is who I am.

39
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:34,639
It is what I am. I was once a man. I

40
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:38,560
know the evil men do. Do not bring your

41
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:41,680
evil here. I warn you.

42
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,639
Beware the wrath of

43
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:48,040
Swamp Thing.

44
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:48,040
Have we met?

45
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,160
Of course we have. You just don't want

46
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,680
to remember.

47
00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:01,440
But everyone knows me sooner or later.

48
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:04,240
Just be glad tonight it's not your turn.

49
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:07,919
Watch.

50
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:11,639
I won't hurt you. I'm one of you.

51
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:11,639
I'm a human being.

52
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,360
Don't let him get away.

53
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:20,360
Come on. Let's get him.

54
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:35,240
All right, whoever you are, freeze.

55
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:43,639
Jeez, what the heck are you?

56
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,639
Don't be afraid. I'm a man like you.

57
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:01,280
This must be a dream.

58
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,280
Help me, Alice. Help.

59
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:04,280
Tresser,

60
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,600
help me, Alex.

61
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,560
Don't be shy.

62
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,560
Go on in.

63
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,800
Tresa, are you up there?

64
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:39,240
Tracer, where are you?

65
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,240
Alex, I'm in here. Quick.

66
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,759
You're welcome to try and escape, though

67
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:52,800
I think you'll find the effort futile.

68
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:54,560
Arcane, I should have known. What have

69
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:58,400
you done with Tresa?

70
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,400
Don't worry, Alec. I'm fine.

71
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,160
I told you if I called he'd come.

72
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,919
And what a clever woman it is that you

73
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,160
are.

74
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:09,039
I know this is an hallucination. These

75
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:11,440
events, Dr. Meisto, it's all a metal

76
00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:14,080
trick. But that wound on your shoulder

77
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,560
doesn't look like a mental trick. Does

78
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,560
it feel like one?

79
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:24,479
I don't know how you're doing this. I

80
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,759
only know that Treso wouldn't work with

81
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:27,759
you against me.

82
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:29,919
But Anton has so much to offer, Alec.

83
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:30,960
Frankly, it's time I stopped denying the

84
00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:33,599
inevitable.

85
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,919
She fought as long as she could.

86
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:36,560
You don't belong with him. He kidnapped

87
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:38,240
your son.

88
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,440
He didn't take Jim. He's trying to help

89
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,440
me find him.

90
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,680
I told you he'd resort to lying.

91
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,400
Pathetic explanation from a doomed

92
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,720
creature.

93
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,720
Very pathetic.

94
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,240
What are you going to do with me?

95
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,759
You're giving your life to science, just

96
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,759
like you always wanted.

97
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:02,759
Excuse us, won't you? Let me sharpen our

98
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:02,759
scalpels.

99
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:26,479
Meisto, why am I locked in this cage?

100
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:29,039
We build our own cages, don't we?

101
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:32,399
I didn't build this one.

102
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:34,240
I'm surprised a few mere bars can keep

103
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:38,959
you entrapped.

104
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:42,719
I have no choice. I have no powers.

105
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:45,719
Nonsense. We all have power if we want

106
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:45,719
it.

107
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:06,200
We build our own cages, don't we?

108
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:13,800
We all have power. If we want it, it

109
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,800
want it.

110
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:26,480
Why are you doing this to me? Tell me.

111
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,440
What have I done to deserve this agony?

112
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:33,000
Look around you. Everything you need to

113
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,000
know is here.

114
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:39,600
What I see is unfamiliar.

115
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:42,920
Then you haven't learned anything yet.

116
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,920
Too bad.

117
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:00,920
I must be losing my mind.

118
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,920
Heat. Heat.

119
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:41,519
It's like I'm a stranger here. For the

120
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:44,240
first time, I feel unrelated to nature,

121
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:46,480
abandoned by the swamp.

122
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,720
I'm lost

123
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,720
and alone.

124
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:07,720
Will, where are you? I have to talk to

125
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,720
you.

126
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:12,279
Heat.

127
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,320
Heat.

128
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,600
Will, what's wrong?

129
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:53,399
Just stay away. Huh? You can't help me.

130
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,399
What are you talking about?

131
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,000
It's Jim.

132
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,040
He's dead.

133
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,720
No. Will don't believe that.

134
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:14,320
I I talked to a consulate general.

135
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:17,839
He said that that Jim's dead. Lloyd

136
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,880
didn't do a damn thing to to help save

137
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:21,200
me.

138
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,279
Listen to me, Will. There are many

139
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,600
strange things happening in the swamp.

140
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:26,480
This may not be real. It may be some

141
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,600
kind of trick.

142
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,839
Yeah, right.

143
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:35,360
I'm here. Let me help you.

144
00:12:31,839 --> 00:12:37,200
I don't want anything from you.

145
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,200
If I could trade places with you, I

146
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,200
would.

147
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,240
It's a little late for that now, isn't

148
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,839
it?

149
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,760
In fact, it's a little late for a lot of

150
00:12:47,839 --> 00:12:52,320
things.

151
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,519
What do you mean?

152
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,360
I'm talking about life.

153
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:59,120
My life.

154
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,040
No, don't say that, Will.

155
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,680
Why not?

156
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,600
It's true, isn't it?

157
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:07,760
The world doesn't need me.

158
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:13,399
But I need you.

159
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,399
That's what my brother needed, too.

160
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:19,399
Look what he got.

161
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:56,880
Meisto, I want out of this nightmare you

162
00:13:53,839 --> 00:13:58,560
put me in. If it's a dream, then end it

163
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:02,279
now.

164
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:02,279
I give you my permission.

165
00:14:04,959 --> 00:14:09,199
You have the power.

166
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:11,760
I have no power and you know it. For

167
00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:13,839
some reason, it's gone.

168
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,399
And yet you claim to not understand

169
00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:19,639
what's happening to you.

170
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:19,639
Look around.

171
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,240
I don't think you're wanted here

172
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,240
anymore.

173
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,880
Can it be true or is it another trick?

174
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,399
Please

175
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,639
don't drive me away.

176
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:58,480
Tell me, have I let you down somehow?

177
00:14:54,639 --> 00:15:02,800
Am I no longer welcome here?

178
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:06,399
You can't reject me. This is my home. If

179
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:09,440
I leave, where would I go?

180
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:14,120
I have nowhere else to go.

181
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,120
Maybe it's time you realize that

182
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,360
it can't be.

183
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,240
It's me.

184
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:27,839
In the course of a lifetime, we all have

185
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:32,120
certain tasks we don't like. But me,

186
00:15:27,839 --> 00:15:32,120
I love my work.

187
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,440
How dare you tell me to give up? If I

188
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,560
give up, so do you. We are the same

189
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,279
person.

190
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,880
Hardly. I'm Alec Holland. You're nothing

191
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:45,199
more than a mutation.

192
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,680
But I am you. You were disfigured in a

193
00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:48,000
fire.

194
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,920
That's right. I was. But you never have

195
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,399
been me and never will be.

196
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,120
But I have a life. A history just as

197
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:56,880
you.

198
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:59,199
Exactly. My history, my life. You only

199
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,519
remember what I have lived.

200
00:15:59,199 --> 00:16:02,720
I lived it too. And if you take that,

201
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:05,680
you take my soul.

202
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,480
I take nothing from you because you have

203
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,399
nothing.

204
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:13,600
I won't give up my life, my reality.

205
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:17,360
You mean fantasy. How else can I explain

206
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:20,240
it? You aren't Alec Holland. You created

207
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,240
that story to justify your existence.

208
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,720
But the fire, Linda,

209
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:28,639
that was my existence.

210
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:30,959
And it's dead just as I am.

211
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:32,639
Unfortunately, your destiny is much

212
00:16:30,959 --> 00:16:34,720
worse.

213
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:36,959
What could be worse than death?

214
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:41,320
Immortality.

215
00:16:36,959 --> 00:16:41,320
Immortality as a monster.

216
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:45,399
He's

217
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:55,920
a freak. Kill it.

218
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,360
Jeez. What the heck are you?

219
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,120
You're giving your life to science just

220
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,199
like you always want.

221
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,800
Stay away.

222
00:17:01,199 --> 00:17:04,880
You can't help me.

223
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,120
Immortality as a monster.

224
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,120
Freak.

225
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:10,120
Stop.

226
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,520
Meisto, I am here.

227
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:36,600
I demand to see you.

228
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:49,559
Meisto,

229
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:55,520
back off, Hollander. I'll blow our

230
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,679
brains out.

231
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,280
Alec, listen to him. He means it.

232
00:17:57,679 --> 00:18:00,720
You can't kill someone who doesn't

233
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,120
exist.

234
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:06,600
Don't go in there.

235
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:06,600
You're not here.

236
00:18:11,919 --> 00:18:18,160
Well, well, you made it at last.

237
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,000
Now the fun can begin.

238
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:24,400
What kind of demon are you?

239
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,160
I'm not a demon. Simply a purveyor of

240
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,280
fear.

241
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:32,080
A storyteller, if you will.

242
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,799
What have you to gain by terrorizing me?

243
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,799
You know, I spoke of you over a hundred

244
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:39,600
years ago.

245
00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:42,160
I told tales of a creature, part man,

246
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,640
part plant. He'd reached his destiny

247
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,480
being a catalyst for science, which

248
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,919
ultimately led to the destruction of all

249
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:53,360
that he cared for and loved.

250
00:18:49,919 --> 00:18:55,120
This uh mutation disappeared into the

251
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:57,840
depths of the swamp, damned to

252
00:18:55,120 --> 00:19:02,559
loneliness for eternity. His legend

253
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,559
passed from one generation to the next.

254
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:09,360
Tragedy feeds on itself, my friend. It

255
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:12,400
cannot easily be stopped. It sucks the

256
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:16,640
spirit out of people.

257
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:18,640
Do you know I can take your soul anytime

258
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:24,360
I want?

259
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:24,360
Never. I wouldn't use that word.

260
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:32,080
You see, you didn't stop me, did you?

261
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,600
Why is it so important for you to create

262
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,720
fear in my heart?

263
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:40,120
Don't blame your fear on me. Your terror

264
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,120
is your own.

265
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:48,240
You see, the interesting thing about

266
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:48,960
fear is that one can actually die from

267
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,799
it.

268
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,760
What has your mission of fear to do with

269
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:56,039
me?

270
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,039
Must I explain everything?

271
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:11,679
Your heart's afflicted with dread. It's

272
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,280
fearful of others. You live in terror

273
00:20:11,679 --> 00:20:14,000
that you will never again exist as a

274
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,840
man.

275
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,720
It harms no one but me.

276
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:21,679
No one. You lie.

277
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:24,160
Just look around you. You're consumed

278
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:26,240
with a fear that I thrive on. It sweats

279
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,039
from every paw. It multiplies with each

280
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:32,720
breath you take. And this fear, this

281
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:34,400
terror, this fright is of nothing but

282
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,280
yourself.

283
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:42,039
The swamp knows no fear. I am guided by

284
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,039
the balance of nature, not human fear.

285
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,280
You've ensured your legend along life.

286
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,799
My deepest congratulations.

287
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:56,880
Why did you come to me, Mafisto?

288
00:20:54,799 --> 00:21:00,400
I only come when beckoned.

289
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:03,200
I didn't call you. Who did? Arcane.

290
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:05,520
I told you to look around you. It was

291
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,799
your friend. The swamp.

292
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,520
That's impossible.

293
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:12,320
Is it? Think again.

294
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:14,799
If what you say is true, then there must

295
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:17,520
be a terrible imbalance.

296
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:19,600
Could my fears have done that? I would

297
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,159
be at cross purposes even harmful to

298
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,320
her. I would be too human.

299
00:21:22,159 --> 00:21:26,240
Too human.

300
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,760
Imagine that.

301
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:34,760
You are my greatest story of all time.

302
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,760
For that I thank you, doctor.

303
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,720
Too human.

304
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,960
Imagine that.

305
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:48,720
Too human.

306
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:52,080
Imagine that. Too human. Human.

307
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,080
Too human. Human.

308
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:00,520
It's good to be home.

309
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,600
The greatest battles of life are often

310
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:13,440
fought within ourselves.

311
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:18,000
Fear will only bring defeat in the

312
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:19,919
natural order of things. Of course, fear

313
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,919
also brings

314
00:22:19,919 --> 00:22:22,919
me

315
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,480
la.
