All language subtitles for Swamp Thing s01E5

ABBY: Previously on Swamp Thing...

It's made out to cash.

EDDIE: So what's this really
about, Sunderland?

Buying a kid like this?

She seems happy here.

AVERY: I just hope to God she's okay.

That's why I'm keeping
Dr. Woodrue on the payroll.

These numbers.

They can only refer to the
thickness of a cell wall.

So it's either a plant,

or an animal.

And what if I told you that
my entries are accurate?

Well, the last ten million years

of biology would disagree with you.

As would I.

- Hello, Gordon.
- Got nothing to say.

I know you've been making off-the-books
loans to Avery Sutherland.

LIZ: It's him I want.

DANIEL: Have you seen anything more?

About my... mission?

The cards aren't clear.

Not just about you.

About the future of this entire town.

MARGAUX: I think I found some
debris from the explosion.

This is from Holland's boat.

Looks like someone shot him.

SWAMP THING: I'm scared for you, Abby.

This is only the beginning.

MARIA: Susie's in bed now.

To be honest, I thought
it would take her

a little bit longer to acclimate,

after everything she's been through.

But she seems to like it here.

What time will you be back?

Well, meeting's first
thing in the morning,

so I shouldn't be too late.

[CLATTERING]

Maria?

Maria?

You there?

Oh, sorry. I... I think
that she might be awake.

Listen, thanks, Avery,
for arranging all of this.

Well, you know, it's me
that should be thanking you.

What for?

For funding Dr. Woodrue's
research, you know.

With your help, he's gonna be
able to keep little Susie healthy,

and a lot of other people, too.

[MARIA LAUGHS]

[THUDS]

[CREAKING]

I better go check on her, okay?

Okay, yeah, you better,
hon. I'll see you tomorrow.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

_

Put that damn thing out
and get your ass over here.

Yes, ma'am, Sheriff.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Susie!

Susie?

Susie?

- [BREATHES HEAVILY]
- Susie.

What's wrong, honey? What happened?

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

There was someone standing there.

- She looked angry.
- Who?

The girl from the pictures downstairs.

You just had a nightmare.

It's perfectly normal,
new house, new bed.

You're so cold.

I'll get you a warmer blanket.

No, no, no. Please.

Please don't go.

It's just in the hall closet, okay?

I'll be right back.

You know, I used to have
nightmares when I was a little girl.

And my mom would always
bring me a warm blanket

and make it all better.

[CRIES OUT]

Susie.

Susie, where did you go?

Susie.

Susie!

[GASPS]

Shawna! Shawna.

Shawna!

Oh, God. Shawna. [GASPS]

Oh, Shawna!

[TEARFULLY] Oh.

[IN ETHEREAL VOICE]
You tried to replace me.

First with Abby, and now with her.

No, I...

[CRIES] I never wanted that.

It was only you.

Shawna, I love you more
than you'll ever know.

Note to self. Check back every week

to assess the insane
plant growth in this area.

Yeah.

Yeah, this is good.

I don't know what's happening out here,

but this is gonna be good for my career,

I think, and could get
my life back on track.

Knock on wood. Something's coming.

Something good.

Everything's about to change.

No.

Stop it. I don't want to see this.

Make it stop!

[ROB ORBISON'S "IN DREAMS" PLAYING]

[MUSIC STOPS]

BUTLER: Hey, how's
the fishing around here?

'Cause the folks in town said

the bass would jump
right up in your boat.

You should leave now.

It's not safe here.

[SIGHS]

I love it out here. I really do.

The sweaty smells,

the funky grass, the blossoms.

The trees.

I swear, when the wind's just right,

you can hear 'em
whispering their secrets.

The trees...

You can come on out
of there if you want.

The fish are biting, not me.

Come on.

[LOW GROWL]

You're not afraid of me.

Are you someone I should be afraid of?

Not of who I was.

Of what I've become.

Hmm. Transitions in life.

They can be difficult.

Caterpillar to butterfly,

child to adult... The
process in life, it's, uh,

it's never easy.

But what's in here?

Nobody can take that
away except for you.

[LOW GROWL] Who are you?

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON CAR RADIO]

Do it. Do it.

Shit!

Aah! Shit!

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

All right.

I lived up to my end of the bargain.

I can leave now, right?

[INDISTINCT WHISPERS]

[WHISPERS CONTINUE]

[SCREAMS]

Help! Ahh!

[GROANS]

I was planted here to wait
for Abby Arcane, right?

Well, she's here.

And by the way,

I saved her neck.

But instead of getting a gold star
from my ride back to Hollywood,

I get this again?

I just wanted a break.

If I had known I'd be
trapped in this hell,

I never would have
made that... Argh! Shit.

Playing you definitely
was not worth all this.

When I get back to LA,

I'm selling your ass.

_

[MOANING]

[LAUGHS]

Oh!

Whoa.

That was a...

What's gotten into you?

I don't know.

[LAUGHS]

After whatever it was that
happened the other night, I guess...

I guess I just needed that.

But whatever it was that got into you,

I hope it gets into you more often.

[LUCILIA CHUCKLES]

AVERY: Mmm.

Where you going?

- Come on, Avery.
- What are you doing?

What, that's it?

I got the room till noon.

Well... [SIGHS]

We both know that
this works best when...

we just keep it short and sweet.

You know, there's some lines that
we're better off not crossing.

You always wear that ring, don't you?

Not always.

I remember the day I gave it to you.

It might be my favorite day I ever had.

[LUCILIA CHUCKLES]

It was a long time ago.

You ever think about
what might have been?

You mean before Maria sashayed into town

with her smiles and the
bottomless bank account?

Thought that Maria
was one of those lines

you're not supposed to cross.

Well, don't you worry, Avery.
You're still calling the shots.

Just like you always have.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

Ah, shit.

Liz Tremayne.

She already left me
three messages last night.

Huh. Really?

What's that all about?

She's asking about some
evidence her girlfriend found

up in Skeeter Cove.

A piece of aluminum
skiff with blast marks

and buckshot holes.

Proof that someone wanted Holland dead.

She's pushing for an investigation.

Well, what do you think?

I think it would make for
great copy in the weekly.

Ah, damn reporters. Once they
smell blood in the water...

Yeah. Still, I gotta look into it.

Gotta solve this so-called murder

before Tremayne beats me to it.

ABBY: This sample is unlike
anything I've ever seen before.

The cells are expanding and contracting

seemingly at will.

If destroyed, they regenerate,

defying all laws of
biology as we know it.

I can't believe I'm going to say this,

but based on what I've
seen in the past few days,

I'm beginning to wonder

if we're dealing with something
beyond the known scope of science...

Like what?

Uh, for instance.

ABBY: Jesus.

Do you ever knock?

I was told I had free rein

when I was provided hospital privileges.

Wise decision, since our
resident CDC professional

appears to be attributing

the characteristics of
a unique plant specimen

to the boogeyman. [LAUGHS]

Doctor.

The plant sample you
showed me earlier, I, uh...

I need to know where it came from.

I'm afraid that's a CDC
professional matter now.

Regenerative powers within those cells

would revolutionize treatment

for a host of genetic diseases.

Yes.

And wouldn't you like to see your name

on top of the journal article
announcing that discovery.

Dr. Arcane,

did your discovery have
anything to do with Alec Holland?

What... What makes you think that?

Hmm. Holland was the only scientist...

And I use that word advisedly,

in this backwater.

He had that lab back in the swamp.

It seems reasonable

that during the course of his work,

he may have come across your material.

So, um, does it?

Have anything to do with Alec Holland?

[CHUCKLES]

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

You know what? I have to take this.

Excuse me, Dr. Woodrue.

Susie?

No, no. It's okay, I'll be right there.

Good morning, Delroy.

Mr. Avery?

You're up early.

Yeah, I woke up this morning
with a powerful hunger

for turtle soup.

Hmm.

I took the liberty

of using my key

to help myself to your kitchen.

Although technically,

I guess it's my kitchen,
'cause I do own the property.

[CHUCKLES]

You came all this way for soup?

Well, actually, Delroy,

I wanted to see you.

You know better than anyone

how hard I've worked my ass off

for this town, you know?

I know folks appreciate that.

Do they? Because sometimes,
I wonder, you know...

Seemed like every time
I'm just about to land

that big white whale,

there's somebody trying to tear me down.

Take your daughter Liz, for instance.

Now, for some reason,

she is hell-bent

on digging up dirt about me.

Mind you, there's
nothing for her to find,

I just need her to ease
up a little bit. You know,

for the good of the town, of course.

And I was hoping that you could maybe

talk to her

and pass on what we discussed.

In your own words, Delroy.

Taste.

I'd just as soon not.

Taste.

Taste it yourself, Sunderland.

Pops, the contractor's outside
to talk about the repairs.

Go ahead. I'll be fine.

I'll be right outside.

Good morning, Liz. Would
you like some turtle soup?

You think bullying my
father's gonna shut me up?

Must be hitting pretty
close to the bone.

Oh, come on now, Liz.

Let's not do this.

I've known you since
you were a little baby.

Where's your banker, Sunderland?

My banker?

Let me see.

Well, I think that man was exhausted.

And I believe he went on a vacation.
That's what I was told.

The same night he was
gonna talk to me about

some bullshit loans you made
to the Sunderland Corporation?

A few days after Alec Holland

went up in flames.

Oh, you've got this all
figured out, don't you?

Let me ask you something, girl.

If I was really capable
of doing the things

that you imagine that I've done,

do you really think I'd let a
piece of bar trash get in my way?

What do you got? You got
a piece of a shot-up boat.

You got a banker that went on vacation.

What else you got?

I think that might be it.

So do yourself, your old man,

and this whole town a favor.

You leave me alone.

[SNICKERS]

Might have been a time in this town

when a Sunderland snapped
his fingers and folks jumped.

But that time has passed.

Stay the hell away from my dad.

[SIGHS]

You enjoy that soup, Liz.

[FROGS CROAKING]

Ol' Avery built this here place
maybe like seven years ago.

That boy has been screwing
around these waters

for long as anyone can remember.

You're certain this is where
Alec Holland did his research?

Yes, sir.

Delivered some equipment
to him a few months back

when he was just getting set up.

Perhaps you should have
delivered him a custodian as well.

Looks like something nasty
busted up through the hatch.

Tore this place up good.

Must've been big.

What are you rolling around there, Doc?

[BREATH TREMBLES]

It's possible

that I've been thinking too small.

Why have you brought me here?

You sure it was me?

Maybe it was this place that called you.

Who are you?

Just a passing stranger.

Maybe a phantom from a dream

trying to help you understand
the things you already know.

You know, some of these old cypress

can live to be a thousand years old.

Can you imagine the things
that they've seen in their time?

You've seen some things
out here, too, haven't you?

I've seen ghosts.

That's one way to think of it.

- Perhaps there's another way.
- [GROWLS]

[ETHEREAL WHISPERS]

Memories

held by the trees.

And the green

that connects them all together.

The green?

What you're seeing

are memories of events that they've
witnessed over the centuries.

You listen close enough,

they'll tell you stories
you won't even believe.

But why?

What is the purpose of
showing me all of this death?

They're warning you.

There's danger here...

for someone you know.

A danger from the past,

returning.

[CREAKING]

[TEEN ABBY SCREAMS]

Shawna!

Shawna! Shawna!

- Abby!
- TEEN ABBY: Shawna!

Maria. Um...

I don't... I don't want
to fight. I had to come.

She called you, didn't she?

[SIGHS] I begged her not to, but...

You know how she gets
when her mind's set.

I could never deny her.

Uh, I'll make this quick.

I just wanna make sure she's okay.

She's fine.

That girl has been a real
blessing for this house.

And for me.

Can you hear her?

[HUMMING SONG]

Hmm?

Ah, it's just like an angel.

[SAME SONG PLAYS ON RADIO]

Are you crazy? Why did you do that?

It's Smith Street Bridge.
You know what that means.

Go on.

She's waiting for you.

[SUSIE CONTINUES HUMMING]

Hey, Susie.

Abby. You actually came.

I'm surprised.

Why?

Because when people really need you,

you're never there.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Do you mind if I do a quick exam

and make sure everything's all right?

Almost forgot.

You're a big-time doctor now.

Look at me.

Do you think I'm on something?

You know I don't take drugs.

I know, I'm just checking, honey.

Everything looks great.

That song you were humming,

- where did you hear it?
- With you.

Don't you remember?

It was our favorite.

Windows down,

breeze in our hair, blasting the radio?

Okay.

Breathe in for me.

[TAKES DEEP BREATH]

Good.

Exhale for me.

Breathe out, Susie.

Susie.

Susie!

You should see your face, Y-Bee.

What did you just call me?

Seriously?

That's your reverse name.

You were Y-Bee, and I was...

A-Shawn.

Susie,

did Miss Sunderland put you up to this?

Susie's not here anymore.

I won't let Mom replace me
with this little nothing.

Okay. Okay.

Convince me.

If you're Shawna, tell
me why you're here.

[HIGH-PITCHED SCREECH]

[LAUGHS]

[DISTORTED] Save me, Abby. Save me.

What do you want from me?

To see you in that swamp,

in that filthy water.

Dying, gasping for air,

just the way that you left me.

You're not Shawna. Shawna's dead.

'Cause of you.

What the hell did you do to her?

Excuse me?

Have you been filling her
head with stories of Shawna?

It's the only way she could
have known our nicknames,

- our song...
- I didn't tell her anything.

She knew.

Xanadu brought my Shawna back to me.

[SCOFFS] Madame Xanadu?

You went to her?

She warned me about you.

She told me that you were
gonna try and convince me

that Shawna wasn't really here.

That you were gonna try and
take her away from me again.

You think I wanted Shawna to die?

You hate me that much?

Get out.

Get out of here before
I call the police.

SUSIE: Mom?

Oh, Shawna.

Oh, Shawna.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Everything's gonna be all right.

I promise.

I can't stay like
this forever, you know.

Soon, I'll have to let Susie go.

The water's calling me back.

No, honey. I can't
lose you again, Shawna.

I can't be alone anymore.

Come with me to the swamp, Mom,

and we can be together.

Forever.

WOMAN [ON VOICEMAIL]:
Department of Child Services.

Leave me a message.

Hey, it's Abby Arcane. Give me a
call as soon as you get a second.

There's a situation we need to discuss.

MADAME XANADU: Abigail.

Shawna's come back, hasn't she?

The little girl Maria's been watching,

she's in danger.

I'm about to pull up
outside Remy Dubois' shack.

COP: Oh, rat boy?

[LUCILIA CHUCKLES]

Harbormaster said he was
actually working the dock

the night of the Holland murder.

Thought he might have seen something.

- Copy that.
- [DOGS BARKING]

Should I send Matt out your way?

LUCILIA: Uh, negative. I'll
meet him back at the station.

This won't take long.

Smells good.

Thought you might be coming around.

[SIGHS] Why is that, Remy?

You been breaking some laws?

If I was any good at law-breaking,

would I be eating a rat?

Hmm. To each their own.

Harbormaster said you
might be stopping by.

Something to do with
that scientist who died.

Logbook says that there
was only one other boat

besides Holland's that
went out that night.

[CHUCKLES]

And you want to know what I saw?

You were the only person
on duty that night.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah.

Damn strange.

Boat motors out, 20 minutes later,

[CLICKS TONGUE] kaboom.

- If that's a murder...
- Spit it the fuck out, Remy.

[CHUCKLES]

Let's just say, it don't
look good for your boy Matt.

You're a fucking liar.

Funny thing is,

I don't think your boy
even knew I was there.

Office was dark, I was in the back.

Hmm, I sure saw him.

He's a strapping young man, Sheriff.

Who else knows about this?

- Whoa.
- No one yet.

It's gonna cost you if
you wanna keep it that way.

Remy. Remy.

Put the gun down.

Come on, now. We can
just talk about this.

It's about money, right?

Okay. How much?

50,000.

I figure, even on a cop's salary,

you'll be able to pull that together.

[SIGHS]

Well, that might take some time,

assuming I believe you.

Maybe you'd believe what I found
on that boat when he got back.

Wrapper from some dynamite.

I figure Mr. Sunderland
might wanna chip in, too,

since it was his boat old
Matt was riding around in.

So you do whatever you gotta do...

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

[CHOKING]

Nobody ever fucking threatens my son.

10-45, shots fired.

I need a team at the
residence of Remy Dubois.

I'm gonna need a coroner out here, too.

ABBY: What did you tell Maria?

Her pain was overwhelming.

She could never let Shawna's death go.

I did what was asked of me,
even though I knew it was wrong.

You don't actually think you
brought Shawna back from the dead?

I may have opened a door,

but I think Shawna would have
come even without my help.

Whatever it is that's
making Susie behave this way,

I knew Shawna better than anyone.

Okay? That's not her.

Darkness has twisted her spirit.

She's feeding off Maria's pain.

[SIGHS] I just want to find
them before anyone gets hurt.

You're still angry.

Yeah.

I'm not eight years old anymore,

watching my mother live
and die by your advice.

Whatever you think of me now,

I was only trying to help Anise.

My mom needed real help.

I'm waiting for you, Mother.

MARIA: Uh, I'm afraid.

Don't you love me?

Don't you wanna be with me?

Of course I do, honey.

Dr. Arcane! [WHIMPERS]

Susie, are you okay?

No, I'm scared.

I think the bad girl's
got Mrs. Sunderland.

I woke up, and I saw
her down by the swamp.

Come here. Come here.

Take this. Get Lieutenant Cable.

Maria!

Maria!

Maria.

Maria.

Maria!

Maria!

Maria, stop.

Maria, I'm sorry I killed Shawna.

She was my best friend,

and not a day goes by that
I don't think about her,

and she died because of me,

and I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

You're sorry?

You shouldn't be sorry.

You should be dead!

Maria.

Maria!

Maria!

Maria!

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

Stay with me, Maria.

Come on. Come on, Maria.

Stay with me, Maria.

[GURGLES]

[GROANS]

[ABBY SOBBING]

She came out here to be with Shawna.

The daughter that I
took from her. [SNIFFLES]

How did you know we were here?

I saw you.

You were in pain.

You saw me?

In the water, under the bridge.

No, no, no. That's impossible.

Shawna died 14 years ago.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[POP SONG PLAYS ON RADIO]

[BOTH GIGGLING]

Come on, Y-Bee! Enjoy
yourself for once. [GIGGLES]

Are you crazy? Why did you do that?

Smith Street Bridge.

You know what that means.

- [GIGGLES]
- You can't be serious.

No, absolutely not!

- Yes, yes, yes! Come on, we gotta!
- Shawna...

We're the only ones who
haven't done the jump yet.

Shawna, it's 5:30 in the morning.

Your mom's gonna kill us.

Please, Y-bee!

I mean, we graduate in two damn days!

And then, who knows what?

College? Maybe we'll
never see each other again.

You don't always have
to be such a good girl,

you know, don't you ever wanna be bad

just for, like, one second?

Come on, come on. Let's do it!

I don't know, Shawna.

Please, Y-Bee!

Come on!

You first.

Abby!

Shawna?

Shawna!

Shawna!

Shawna?

Shawna?

Shawna. Shawna!

Shawna!

Shawna!

Shawna!

[GIGGLES]

You suck.

That was amazing.

You should see your face.

Oh, ha-ha, hilarious.

Fun time's over! Let's go home.

Or we could just enjoy the moment,

Miss Buzzkill.

[GASPING]

What the hell was that?

- Give me a break.
- No.

I'm serious, Y-Bee.

Shawna?

Shawna!

Shawna!

Shawna!

[GASPS]

Something took her.

It happened so fast that day.

Why that day?

To bring me here.

[SIREN WAILING]

I think it was a warning.

MATT: Abby!

[LOW GROWL]

Abby!

Where are you?

ABBY: Matt, over here!

Abby.

Hold on, Mrs. Sunderland.

The paramedics are on their way.

You're shivering.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

You're gonna sit there
staring at me all night?

I'm a grown-ass man, Liz.

I can watch out for myself.

Hey, Daniel.

We're gonna see you at the
zydeco barbecue this weekend?

And every weekend
after that, apparently.

Things are not going
so well at the shop?

It's a video store.

How do you think business is doing?

Videotapes are just
flying off the shelf.

What happened to your hand?

Burnt the hell out of it.

That's not good.

Hey, Liz, can I ask you something?

[CLEARS THROAT] Here.

Do you really like it here?

I mean, really like it
here in small town Marais?

That's a broad question. [CHUCKLES]

You left once, right?

One thing I don't like about small towns

is how everyone knows
everyone's business.

Sorry.

Thank you. And some nuts, thanks.

Yeah, I left.

Studied journalism at Tulane,

moved to New York
right after graduation.

Thought I landed the dream job.

Fast forward a year, woke up one morning

realizing I'd spent most
of my time fixing typos

and zero time reporting.

When Pops had a heart scare,
I came back for good.

As much as I wanted a job
on a big paper, I realized...

I like it here.

I gotta go.

- Have a good night.
- Good night.

Pops, I'll see you in the morning.

Okay, puddin'.

Oh, shit.

What the hell?

Liz Tremayne?

Sorry, don't know her.

You need to stay out of the
pissing-people-off business.

Or what? Avery Sunderland's gonna
have to do his own dirty work?

Look, we're not playing around!

[GROANS] Oh, God damn!

[PANTING]

Tell Avery he needs to get better help.

Hey, Liz! What's going on?

Back off.

Daniel!

Daniel. Daniel!

I think you fucking killed
him! Come on, let's go.

Daniel!

Where's Maria? Where's my wife?

Mr. Sunderland.

- Yes.
- She's okay.

Uh, she had a close
call but she's stable.

Follow me. Right this way.

Sunderland. We need to talk.

Not now, Woodrue, my wife's in there.

This can't wait.

DOCTOR: Mr. Sunderland, right this way.

What?

The sample that Arcane
recovered, it's, uh...

It's from a living creature.

We'll talk about this in the morning.

Hey, hey. Hey.

You want to me to push
this project forward, hmm?

I need it alive on a table to study.

We gotta track it down.

I'm sorry, could you just please
tell her I'll be right with her.

[CHUCKLES]

You'd better be right.

I'm gonna give you a name.

Best hunter in the business.

Find it.
