1
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,400
legislation gets through Congress, this

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,359
place closes. My company goes down to

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,040
tubes.

4
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:10,559
There are people these days out gunning

5
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:11,679
for any industry that supposedly

6
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:13,519
destroys the ozone layer.

7
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:14,880
Or so they claim.

8
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:15,360
It isn't like I didn't warn you about

9
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,720
this place.

10
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,480
As my congressman, I hoped you'd have

11
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,320
the guts to keep those ecoaks off my

12
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,600
back. Maybe I wasted my campaign

13
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,279
contributions on you.

14
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,000
Look, there's technology available to

15
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:25,840
clean up this plan.

16
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Who's going to pay for it? You

17
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,599
take it easy.

18
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,080
Maybe I can kill the legislation in

19
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:31,599
committee.

20
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,680
You haven't stopped it yet.

21
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:35,040
Yeah, but I got a new plan. I'm going to

22
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,079
take a factf finding tour of the swamp.

23
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,000
Then I'm going to report back to the

24
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:39,120
committee that uh it's not an endangered

25
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,120
area.

26
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,879
Didn't get on it. Either that

27
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,520
legislation gets flushed or your next

28
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:47,039
campaign does.

29
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,520
What are those environmental wackos

30
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:51,520
getting so worked up for? It's a swamp

31
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,840
for God's sake. What's the swamp got to

32
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,840
do with anything?

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:48,799
The swamp is my world. It is who I am.

34
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:51,840
It is what I am. I was once a man. I

35
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:57,280
know the evil men do.

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:02:00,479
Do not bring your evil here. I warn you.

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:03,960
Beware the wrath of

38
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:03,960
Swamp Thing.

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,879
I wish you'd called earlier. Congressman

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,160
Will's leaving today for a 4-day trip

41
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:17,680
with some fishermen.

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,400
It's been on the books for weeks. Thank

43
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,720
you.

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,280
Needless to say, uh, my time is very

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,520
tight. Of course, the environmental

46
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,959
issue is of the utmost importance.

47
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,360
Well, I'm afraid there's nothing we can

48
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:31,760
do.

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,200
Well, unless you take him, Tresa, come

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,560
on. I mean, you know as much about the

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,000
swamp as anyone.

52
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,640
No, I couldn't.

53
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,480
I'd be uh I'd be very grateful.

54
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:42,080
Tresa, think what it would mean to Alec

55
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,720
to have Uncle Sam get involved and see

56
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,000
what's really going on out here.

57
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,000
If it helps the swamp and the

58
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,519
environment, it's my pleasure. We'll

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,640
have to get an early start, though. Uh,

60
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:52,319
say 7:00 a.m.

61
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:54,480
Fine. Sooner I can report to my

62
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:55,599
colleagues in Congress, the better.

63
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,120
See you in the morning.

64
00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:58,800
I'll walk with you, Congressman. I I've

65
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,400
got some questions about the swamp I'd

66
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,400
like to ask you. I got this.

67
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,760
Of all the gin joints in the world, and

68
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:16,040
Tresa Langford has to come to this one.

69
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,040
Oh, Alan.

70
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,760
Close. It's dress a Kip now.

71
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,640
Really? I used to know someone much like

72
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,720
you.

73
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:24,080
Maybe she got married. Who's to say? Of

74
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,519
course. If it is the former Miss

75
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,800
Langford, this would be an incredible

76
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:28,959
coincidence.

77
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,480
Alice, I haven't seen you in years.

78
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:32,480
I got an assignment for a magazine

79
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,239
article, Mysteries of the Swamp. I'm

80
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,400
Billing Huma as the Bermuda Triangle

81
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:37,519
with Moss. So, you got any weird stories

82
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,200
for me?

83
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:41,200
My divorce might count as one.

84
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,959
So much for the Kip explanation. But

85
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,480
then again, Alan, you're probably the

86
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:44,959
weirdest thing to hit this town in quite

87
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,879
a while.

88
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:49,360
So, you won't mind having dinner with me

89
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:50,799
for curiosity's sake.

90
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,720
Last time we went out, you started a

91
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:54,400
food fight in a four-star restaurant.

92
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,680
You were throwing duck allarrage across

93
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,400
the room.

94
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,519
Duck's got to fly. I got to be me.

95
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,760
Oh, Alan.

96
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:03,200
So,

97
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,280
all I remember about college are the

98
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,400
parties. Everything else, like classes,

99
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,840
is kind of fuzzy.

100
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,360
You don't remember graduation?

101
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,120
Vaguely.

102
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,080
You were totally butt naked underneath

103
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,000
your graduation gown. You You picked up

104
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,720
your diploma, bent over, and mooned the

105
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,799
audience.

106
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,560
Is that what I did? I thought it was

107
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:22,400
required when you got a BA degree.

108
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,240
Yeah, right. What I can't believe is how

109
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,759
a complete maniac like you ever got a

110
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,600
job in the real world?

111
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:29,520
Wasn't easy.

112
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,520
The only time I felt life was worthwhile

113
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,800
is when I went backpacking. So, I wrote

114
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,120
an article about it, sold it to a

115
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,880
magazine. Stories about the environment

116
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,800
were heating up back then. Suddenly, I

117
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,720
was in demand.

118
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,800
I read an article of yours. It was

119
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,960
something about um the future. I'll be

120
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,720
damned if I can remember a word of it.

121
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,919
It was something about um parallel

122
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,240
worlds.

123
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:52,080
Yeah. There's a theory that future

124
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,759
ecosystems already exist in micro

125
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,440
environments today. It's an idea the

126
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:56,800
French have played with for years.

127
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,160
Oh, they can keep playing with it. I

128
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,240
didn't understand it then. I'm not sure

129
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,520
I'd understand it now.

130
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,080
Tuning into what was happening to the

131
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,080
environment changed my life. It made me

132
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,960
grow up.

133
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,479
I was a big jerk in college.

134
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,000
If it hadn't been for you taking notes

135
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:15,360
in the classes I missed and cramming me

136
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,360
for tests, I'd never have graduated.

137
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,440
You're the best pal I had.

138
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,919
Yeah, and you made me laugh. I needed

139
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,919
that back then.

140
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,600
Oh, look. I have an early morning

141
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:29,039
tomorrow. Oh, a US congressman wants me

142
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,800
to take him on a factf finding tour of

143
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:32,560
the swamp. Hey, you know, you could turn

144
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,240
him into an ecological expert in no

145
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,960
time. I always avoid exercising

146
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,960
congressman in the morning.

147
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:10,160
It doesn't take an expert to see that

148
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,720
the swamp is being damaged by

149
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,160
pollutants. It's a very delicate area.

150
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,080
Well, I believe that responsible

151
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,919
industry is no threat to mother nature,

152
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,639
and nothing I've seen today convinces me

153
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:22,240
that any permanent damage is being done.

154
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:22,960
Wouldn't that take a long-term study to

155
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,400
determine?

156
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,000
Nah, there have been too many studies

157
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,240
done already. him and all this baloo

158
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,120
about the ozone layer. I mean, some

159
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,479
studies flat out contradict each other.

160
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,600
All depends on who you want to believe.

161
00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:35,520
You don't have to tell me which side

162
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,960
you're on.

163
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,680
Alan, where

164
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,120
I'm taking over the tour.

165
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,400
Alan, for God's sakes.

166
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,919
You know this area as well as anyone,

167
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,560
Tresa, you can make it back to Huma by

168
00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:45,440
yourself.

169
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,720
What are you going to do?

170
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,080
Send you to school.

171
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,440
Oh, Alan, if this is some kind of a

172
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,440
joke, it's not a very funny one.

173
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,880
I stopped joking a long time ago. Just

174
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,960
about the same time I found out places

175
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,160
like this were being wiped out while fat

176
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,880
cats sat on their thumbs.

177
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:04,039
Let's go.

178
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,039
Come on,

179
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,800
Presser.

180
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,560
Alec, I've been looking for you. I was

181
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,560
taking Congressman Newton on a research

182
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,919
tour and he was kidnapped.

183
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,319
And you escaped?

184
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:22,560
Not exactly. kidnappers is an old friend

185
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:23,520
of mine, Alan Harris. He's gone off the

186
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,440
deep end.

187
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,800
Harris? I've been watching him. I

188
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,599
thought he was doing research for a

189
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,800
magazine article.

190
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:30,319
You've heard of him?

191
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,840
He has a thorough understanding of

192
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:32,400
science and an immense respect for

193
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,639
nature.

194
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,919
But to kidnap a congressman doesn't

195
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:39,880
sound like Allan.

196
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:39,880
We need to find his camp.

197
00:07:43,599 --> 00:07:49,039
I can't go any further.

198
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:52,560
All right, take a break.

199
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:56,319
Look, Harris, whatever it is you want, I

200
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:59,039
can arrange it. Just please let me go.

201
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:00,800
Look, kidnapping a US congressman is

202
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:03,039
insane.

203
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,479
Tell me something. Is kidnapping more

204
00:08:03,039 --> 00:08:06,080
insane than contaminating our planet's

205
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:08,720
air and water or making thousands of

206
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:12,319
plant and animal species extinct.

207
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,120
I don't know, but kidnapping is against

208
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:14,400
the law.

209
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,240
There's something in the swamp that

210
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,919
doesn't give a damn about your law. It's

211
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,759
following nature's law and it is scaring

212
00:08:17,919 --> 00:08:21,120
the hell out of me. You have no idea

213
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:21,680
what your industrial pals are doing

214
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,840
around here.

215
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,639
Less than a mile from here, I've made a

216
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,280
fantastic discovery. An alternative

217
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:31,280
ecosystem. One that has been damaged by

218
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,479
ultraviolet radiation because the ozone

219
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,159
layer is so thin.

220
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:36,159
You cut out the gibberish.

221
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:40,560
I'm finding evidence of mutated

222
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:41,839
organisms, new strains of bacteria.

223
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:44,159
Do you know what kind of diseases

224
00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:45,519
bacterial mutations might create? And if

225
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:47,360
the ozone layer breaks down much

226
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:49,519
further, it's only going to get worse.

227
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,480
See, because of people like you, life on

228
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:53,480
Earth might be wiped out.

229
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:17,959
Oh,

230
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,160
God.

231
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:37,160
Cover your eyes or the light will blind

232
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,160
you.

233
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,640
What happened to them?

234
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:49,440
Burnouts. They're here to die.

235
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,000
Take them.

236
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,000
They must be judged.

237
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:09,399
He wouldn't wander off in the swamp all

238
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:09,399
night. He has to know better than that.

239
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,399
He may know more than you realize.

240
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,000
I'm certain that local industry has

241
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:17,760
depleted the ozone layer, causing the

242
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,920
future ecosystems I've discovered in the

243
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,480
swamp. Now that I found this gateway to

244
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,839
the future, my next move is to go

245
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,440
through.

246
00:10:23,839 --> 00:10:27,920
He actually thinks he can step into the

247
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,519
future. Is that nuts or what?

248
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:34,600
In the swamp, anything is possible.

249
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:34,600
Treser, I am living proof of that.

250
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:01,000
Outsiders.

251
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,000
Where did they come from?

252
00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:06,320
Look at their skin. They don't have the

253
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,399
sickness yet. I'm a US Congressman. I

254
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,440
demand that you do.

255
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:15,320
There is no more United States. No

256
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,320
president or Congress.

257
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,519
All of them dead.

258
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,880
This guy's lonier than you are. Shut up,

259
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:23,519
Newton. You might learn something. I

260
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,519
won't shut up. Where are we? I demand

261
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:26,519
answers.

262
00:11:29,839 --> 00:11:32,640
It's impossible. I stayed there last

263
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:37,839
night.

264
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:39,360
No, not last night. A long time ago.

265
00:11:37,839 --> 00:11:41,360
What's today's date?

266
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,959
2031.

267
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,959
2031? That's impossible.

268
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:46,320
What's the matter, Congressman? Your

269
00:11:44,959 --> 00:11:50,120
election campaign said you were the man

270
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,120
for the future, didn't it?

271
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,399
Over there. footprint showing where

272
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,040
Allen and Congressman Newton entered the

273
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:08,000
clearing, but none showing which way

274
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,920
they left. They just vanished.

275
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,519
So Allan found a way into the future and

276
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,959
took Congressman Newton with him. That's

277
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:14,720
what you're saying.

278
00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:15,519
So where are they now? Can they ever

279
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,600
return?

280
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:19,279
Perhaps if we can change the conditions

281
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,800
that created the accelerated future

282
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:22,000
ecosystem, we might be able to bring

283
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,519
them back.

284
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Uh change the present and the future

285
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:26,000
they're in.

286
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,639
Will cease to exist and they'll be

287
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,480
forced back to the original timeline.

288
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:31,519
Great. So what? We just changed the

289
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,839
world.

290
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:35,279
Not the entire world. Just the local

291
00:12:33,839 --> 00:12:37,200
industry that he wrote about that

292
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:40,639
damaged the swamp and created the future

293
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:44,399
that Allen and Newton may have found.

294
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:46,399
Local industry like the chemical plant.

295
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:47,680
Congressman Newton talked about killing

296
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:51,079
legislation that involved the new

297
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:51,079
chemical plant.

298
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,240
This is incredible. These people need

299
00:13:01,839 --> 00:13:06,320
medical attention.

300
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:09,360
There's no cure for what they have.

301
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,360
Don't you get it? They're being attacked

302
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,360
by mutant strains of bacteria that

303
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,680
didn't exist in our time.

304
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:19,399
I mean, I could catch this, but we've

305
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:19,399
got to get out of here.

306
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:27,279
We can't, Congressman. This is the

307
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:29,360
future. You can't escape destiny.

308
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:32,720
I wrote hundreds of articles, published

309
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:35,120
them all over the world. I begged. I

310
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:39,200
pleaded. The whole damn planet was dying

311
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:43,279
and nobody would do anything to stop it.

312
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,639
Fools. Idiots. Why'd you let it happen?

313
00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:49,320
You could have done something about it,

314
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:49,320
but you stood by and did nothing.

315
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,560
The elders have been asked to decide the

316
00:13:51,839 --> 00:13:58,160
fate of two outsiders. The facts are

317
00:13:54,560 --> 00:14:01,279
these. We have no food for outsiders. We

318
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:05,440
have no skins for outsiders.

319
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:08,000
We have no need for outsiders.

320
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:11,720
Before they make judgment, will anyone

321
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,720
speak for these men?

322
00:14:15,199 --> 00:14:19,360
It was a plague, wasn't there?

323
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,600
It was a plague of the skin. Am I

324
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:25,760
correct? Large pestules, decaying skin.

325
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,040
eventual death.

326
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:32,279
That's what happened to the burnouts,

327
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,279
isn't it? You took them out to die.

328
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:39,120
The ozone layer was destroyed.

329
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,959
The world was bombarded by ultraviolet

330
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,959
rays.

331
00:14:40,959 --> 00:14:46,000
Cancers developed,

332
00:14:42,959 --> 00:14:47,680
deadly melanomas.

333
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,560
You started wearing animal skins to

334
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,920
protect yourselves from the sun,

335
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,160
but you couldn't protect yourselves from

336
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,040
the bacteria

337
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,800
that mutated in the swamp water,

338
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:02,160
creating diseases no one had ever heard

339
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:04,240
of or imagined. The plague swept across

340
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,959
the land as God's hand might cast a

341
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,959
shadow from the sun,

342
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:16,000
touching every living creature

343
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:21,839
on Earth.

344
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:25,120
Every human being, young, old,

345
00:15:21,839 --> 00:15:29,199
male, female alike,

346
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:32,720
knew that soon they would perish.

347
00:15:29,199 --> 00:15:35,680
As death stalked the families,

348
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:39,040
prayers were said,

349
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:43,160
tears fell.

350
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,160
Nothing could stop the plague.

351
00:15:43,839 --> 00:15:51,199
But the ultimate damnation

352
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:54,399
came from our own desire,

353
00:15:51,199 --> 00:15:57,040
not of nature.

354
00:15:54,399 --> 00:16:01,880
Now, do you see

355
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,880
it's you, isn't it? Will Kip

356
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:05,639
once,

357
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:11,399
but I haven't been for a very long time.

358
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:19,600
Since you know what happened,

359
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,079
you must also realize the elders have no

360
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:25,279
choice in their decisions.

361
00:16:22,079 --> 00:16:27,120
We cannot let you go.

362
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:30,279
You might bring other outsiders back

363
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,279
with you.

364
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:37,560
The sentence for outsiders is

365
00:16:37,839 --> 00:16:43,480
death.

366
00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:43,480
No, let me go.

367
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,720
This plant is a disaster waiting to

368
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,720
happen.

369
00:16:53,199 --> 00:16:58,959
I don't believe this. It's a nightmare

370
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:01,519
or a hoax of some sort.

371
00:16:58,959 --> 00:17:02,800
Come on, Newton. It's just extinction.

372
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:05,919
Or is that just something that happens

373
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:08,319
to other species?

374
00:17:05,919 --> 00:17:10,240
You want a chance to live just like

375
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:13,280
everything else that was alive on this

376
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,039
planet, human or not.

377
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,199
Self-righteous to the very end, aren't

378
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:21,919
you?

379
00:17:17,199 --> 00:17:27,079
Martyr enjoys dying for his cause.

380
00:17:21,919 --> 00:17:27,079
Oh, I mind dying. I mine very much.

381
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:31,840
It's just I've had longer to adjust to

382
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,120
the idea than you.

383
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,400
You remember that environmental

384
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:38,480
demonstration about 5 years ago?

385
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,200
One that stopped barges from hauling

386
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:44,640
toxic waste on the Mississippi River.

387
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:47,280
Figures. Well,

388
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:51,360
I joined the demonstrators

389
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:54,880
and tried to cut a toll line.

390
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:57,440
A member of the Tugs crew

391
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,679
opened barrels of waste and poured them

392
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,200
on us.

393
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:02,720
A few months later, I started getting

394
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,880
headaches,

395
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,919
blurry vision, dizzy spells, and then I

396
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:12,120
found out I wasn't the only one.

397
00:18:07,919 --> 00:18:12,120
Four of our group had already died.

398
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,840
Looks like I'm next.

399
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,520
I'm sorry.

400
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,799
You'd be sorry for all the lives you

401
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,440
could have saved if you hadn't helped

402
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:25,520
create the hell we're in now. You could

403
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,919
have made a difference, Congressman, but

404
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,919
you did nothing.

405
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:43,240
It's time.

406
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:43,240
I don't want to die.

407
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,559
The scent of chemicals is overpowering.

408
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,000
I feel weak.

409
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:50,960
But the plant doesn't have a permit to

410
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,240
operate yet.

411
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,880
That hasn't stopped them. They've

412
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,880
started up illegally.

413
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,799
Uncertain pollution from this created

414
00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:02,240
the future Allan found.

415
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:05,559
Then this is what we have to change to

416
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,559
get them back.

417
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:17,799
The temperature's dropping.

418
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,039
55°

419
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:24,039
53.

420
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:29,120
You can't do this.

421
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:31,760
Stop them, Harris.

422
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:34,320
Poetic justice. Appreciate it while you

423
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:38,200
can. You helped destroy the environment.

424
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,200
Now it repays the debt.

425
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:46,760
42. Marty

426
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:50,039
Alex.

427
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,480
39°.

428
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:08,640
I didn't know things were going to turn

429
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:12,200
out like this. I'm sorry.

430
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,200
I'm really sorry.

431
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,120
32 freezing.

432
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,679
Alan. Alan, are you all right?

433
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:43,440
Yeah, fine. You won't believe what

434
00:20:39,679 --> 00:20:46,720
happened. We're alive.

435
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,760
What the

436
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,440
What's that?

437
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,039
It's a friend, congressman.

438
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,320
A friend?

439
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:53,679
You saved your life.

440
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,280
I can't believe you, Newton, after all

441
00:20:53,679 --> 00:20:58,400
you've just been through. How can you be

442
00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:00,240
surprised by anything?

443
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,799
What happened to your hand?

444
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:06,200
I uh

445
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:06,200
It's a souvenir.

446
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:12,799
Remind me where I've been.

447
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,960
Tresa, it was fantastic. The article

448
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:17,200
that I wrote about future ecosystems, I

449
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,360
was right. We were in Huma in the year

450
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,640
2031.

451
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:21,840
It was worse than anything I'd ever

452
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,559
imagined.

453
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,600
I still don't understand it. How did we

454
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:27,120
get back?

455
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,200
We shut down the chemical plant you

456
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:30,559
allowed to operate illegally. That was

457
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,919
the source of the future of your

458
00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:34,400
experience.

459
00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:38,080
When I get back to Washington, I'll see

460
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:41,440
to it it shut down for good.

461
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:44,559
You can't believe the suffering that

462
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,799
those people went through.

463
00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:48,880
Nice people,

464
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:51,360
families. Your legislation will only

465
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:54,559
postpone it. Newton, more has to be

466
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:56,400
done. We have got to do more.

467
00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:58,799
Tresa,

468
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,480
you have to help the swamp. No matter

469
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:02,720
what happens to me.

470
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:08,000
Of course I will. Nothing's going to

471
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:08,000
happen to you. You're safe now, Alan.

472
00:22:15,919 --> 00:22:20,480
Mankind must learn that nature cannot be

473
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,600
ignored. Our future doesn't start

474
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:27,000
tomorrow. It begins today.

475
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,000
Choose wisely.

476
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,960
Heat.

477
00:22:56,159 --> 00:22:59,159
Heat.

478
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,640
Heat. Heat.
