My name is Arcane.

Linda, come here. Here.

Leave her alone.

Thank you.

All materials pertaining|to the substance, now,

or she dies.

What sort of rejuvenation|will you be able to perform on her then?

- Don't, Alec.|- It's all right.

The actual solution as well.

Linda!

Linda! Linda...

What is best for you is not|to be born, not to be, to be nothing.

But the second best for you|is to die soon. Nietzsche.

- The notebooks.|- I never seen anything like that.

The notebooks, good.

Strip it. No bodies.

No witnesses.

No survivors. No trace of them.

You, come here. Burn the papers.

Burn everything. Come on, get a move on.

Somebody help Bruno with the bodies.|I want this place clean by dawn.

- Is that the last of 'em?|- That's it.

Then get the lead out.

- A final check, then vacate the premises.|- Right. Take that to the boat.

Hurry it up.

Wait a minute.|I'm finding lots of stuff down here.

What kind of stuff?

A little of this, a little of that.|Come on down and take a look.

What you got?

- Found some money, a watch, and...|- No, this.

Oh, that. I took it off the girl.

You can have it. Ain't worth nothin'|compared to the watches.

Get out in front.|We're getting out of here.

Ferret?

Plannin' on goin' somewhere?

Come on, let's take a little walk.

Bastard!

My, haven't you gotten dirty?|My goodness!

Tyrone, come here.

I think this lady needs a bath.|Let's take her down to the dock.

Where'd she come from?

Help!

Help!

Get the boat ready.

Move it. We don't have all day,|and I wanna teach this lady how to swim.

The first lesson's called the Dead Man's...

Ow!

You wanna play rough, huh?

Say hello to your boyfriend, baby.

What the hell was that?

Willie! Tyrone! shoot the damn thing.

Get it! Kill it - and her!

You, too!

Back in the swamps.

Willie, go that way.|Tyrone, cover that area.

(cough)

So long, baby.

Willie?

Flank right.

No, no, no! What are you doin?

What the hell are you doin', Danny?

Spread out.

Keep your head.

- Where's Danny?|- Where's Willie?

- Maybe Willie's with Tyrone.|- Danny shot Tyrone.

Oh, yeah.

(roaring)

- Maybe we should...|- Get the hell outta here.

The work with DNA, I expected.

But the combining|of plant and animal is astonishing.

Astonishing.

- You should sleep, sir.|- I can't.

It was all so near,|right there in the palm of my hand, and...

But it's lovely not to sleep,

knowing that I'll soon|make the substance for myself.

Have some coffee, sir.

Thank you.

Holland had great talent.

But talent does only what it can.

Genius does what it must.

It is master of man, power absolute.

And in your hands, sir, how magnificent.

- How beautiful.|- Yes.

The world will bow, or starve.
