Swamp Thing Page #6

Swamp's no place to be at night.|Come on.

The last patrol is in. Whatever it is,|it disappeared for the night.

Some of the men say it's one of them|abdominal snowmen or something.

(Ferret) It was like hittin' a tree.|Bullets hurt it, but they don't stop it.

I say we forget this notebook.|It's not worth it.

What are we killin' ourselves for?

Just to find a formula|to some ordinary plant fertiliser?

"Ordinary"? Something extraordinary|came out of the experiments already.

Something that Holland or myself|had absolutely no notion of. None.

Would you recognise immortality|if it knocked on your door, gentlemen?

Obviously you wouldn't,|but that's beside the point.

I want this swamp thing,

and I want the notebook.

- Now.|- I'll get rid of him.

You will not get rid of him.|You will simply get him.

Pure elements of the formula|that determines him are there,

in his veins.

But... how can we find it?

It's gone into the swamps.

Every time you've seen the girl,|you've seen the beast, right?

That's right.

Then we'll find the girl,|the beast will follow.

It doesn't exactly maintain a low profile.

(anguished roar)

He was right. It is beautiful.

Who was right?

A guy I knew.

He loved these swamps.

Can't you call him?|Maybe he could come and get you.

Ain't got nobody you can call, huh?

Thought I had, but when I did|those goons showed up back there

and started making Swiss cheese|outta your gas station.

- Didn't pay your bookie or somethin'?|- Or somethin'.

Much farther?

A little ways.

- Stay here.|- Don't worry.

- If you hear anyone, you yell.|- Don't worry.

And if I don't come,|just go on and get yourself out.

I can handle myself. Don't worry.

I'm not worried.

Well, I am.

- What happened?|- Just go. Go!

We're just gonna do our job and get|this notebook back to Washington.

The rest isn't my business.

Local people|say this place is full of ghosts.

Well, there's gonna be one more|before this day is through. There she is.

Who's that?

(roar)

Who's that?

That was that thing. Let's go. Come on.

What the heck's goin' on here?

Cut the engine.

Units one and two. Sector four.|On the double. We got him cornered.

Where is he?

What is he?

Sh.

I think I see him.

Hit it!

Units one and two, where are you?|Get over here on the double.

Split up. Go in the back way.|We'll come in straight.

There he is. Over there.

Open up on him.

Hang on.|I'm gonna knock him outta there.

Jesus! Unit two.

Use the grenades if you have to.|Maybe we can stun him.

I think you got him.

He's still goin'.|Give him everything you got. Come on.

We've got him now.

- Where'd he go?|- I don't know.
