see doctor we have 450,000 gallons of

crystalline water that has somehow been

tainted purple by some toxic reaction

and start draining tomorrow don't be an

idiot Graham bottle it and sell it as

next year's Beaujolais - joke joking

well what's that sound

Prometheus parabola that's impossible

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

the swamp is my world it is Who I am it

is what I am I was once a man I know the

evil men do do not bring your evil here

I warn you

beware the wrath of swampy

this is beyond anything I've ever seen

it's not coming from arcades complex

someone's attacking him and destroying

my swamp I should know better

another one a doc Hollister's blind

dates and I'm getting all dressed up

look beautiful so what do you know about

this guy

oh well supposedly he's a world traveler

and he's unmarried and he's just a

little bit eccentric whatever that means

[Music]

or maybe he's not my date babies from

the Pony Express

[Music]

good afternoon you must be miss Kip dr.

Hollister spoke very highly of you my

name is Malcolm netting ttan please come

in hi I'm Abigail I fixed some orders

for you - that's real nice of you

Abigail the doctor told me you could do

magic in the kitchen I don't know about

that you know the last thing you ever

want to tell a chef is how to make a

salad and I'm a real fool for hot sauce

so if you don't mind terribly if I get

for you no I'll get it it'll make me

feel more at home okay

the kitchens down the hall to the right

hurt his feelings but the man is

definitely not my type

he's got his horse hitched up to my

boards try sir I should have called

well he wasn't hurt all that bad you see

but well it's obvious he won't be here

for your date what are you talking about

your date Malcolm Ned incan whose horse

is that out there anyway doc it's

Malcolm netting Tain's he's in the

kitchen putting hot sauce in my onion

dip maybe I should explain

that's not Malcolm Eddington I've never

seen that man go Bo

or I'll sh**t the both of you who are

you my name is JJ Dax now get over there

by the doctor

now why don't you and me take a lovely

little stroll through town

[Music]

I've kind of lost my appetite for eating

[Music]

Neanderthal looking twerp isn't he JJ

Dax his brother Dori created the

Prometheus parabola I did my best to

appropriate it from them messy business

thought I k*ll both of them

apparently JJ still holding a grudge I

want you to locate where he is and then

dislocate him catch my drift

[Music]

I don't think I have to tell you this

but if you're trying to cause any

trouble I can do some real damage to you

and your loved ones I don't relish the

idea but in a w*r like this I don't have

any choice why are you talking about the

w*r against our can don't lose that

sweet little smile of yours Tressa why

are we involved in this because your

house was in the perfect location you

know I had to do some research on you

and your friends it's not that easy

getting into arcane's complex even for

me so I'm just going to lure him out

what'd you do with the real mr. netting

didn't k*ll him no I just laid him up

for a day or two he'll be just fine now

I'm gonna take you out for a fine lunch

maybe walk you around town a little

hurricane we'll hear about the two of us

together and when he shows up at your

house I'm gonna k*ll him just like he

did my brother that's a promise honey

[Music]

[Music]

we

[Music]

there's so little left

[Music]

the plants are shattered this is the

kind of wound that no forest can survive

least of all something as fragile as the

swamp the first shot was not fired by

Akane the destruction is not over I know

our cave he will get his revenge and a

swamp will suffer the most

[Music]

one more time around the blog interesa

I'm tired I'm worried about the doctor I

want to go home just do as I say

where you been I've been holding that

corner table for you all afternoon

is it is this your date Yeah right look

just call me next time okay I was

getting a little bit worried quit being

such a Cub Scout will I make the rules

at my house and if you don't like it you

can pack your things and move out what

good I will know what you're trying to

do do something like that again they'll

k*ll you now let's go quietly

[Music]

our cane was right

Dax is in town I knew it

they say Tex alive and well is it some

kind of wonderful second chance to

acquire the Prometheus parabola

magnificent weapon like having a nuclear

b*mb and a flashlight I'll make sure we

find it at the house look like well

that's his charm Graham its malleable

fits to suit any container

this g*n is German Graham so you saw JJ

Dax with trecek it did you I wonder how

well her house will hold up to an

all-out as*ault gather my best sentry

Hunter as we move to sweet and fix this

bloody g*n and then a w*r on a bloody

arcade what's wrong with you

we're coming to the grand conclusion of

the evening ladies revenge is the name

of the game look why don't you just let

us go at least let doc get to an

emergency room I don't care if he dies

this is w*r between me and Anton arcade

then leave us out we're not in your w*r

we're all in this whether you like it or

not this whole world is divided into a

thousand fortresses each tearing at the

other everything else is meaningless

just middle ground that's where most of

the world lives in the middle then the

world's gonna have to learn to choose

sides or die

[Music]

open fire

[Music]

[Music]

come on arcade while we have this

lowlife distracted

why'd you pop round the back of the

house and see if you can't sneak in I

want you to find the parabola should be

in something about the size of a

breadbox

you hear me move it now

a little

[Music]

well the doctors been hurt we have to

get into a hospital

[Music]

serious ISM you can have a lot of

explaining to do

I've gotta stop this w*r

come again the arcane odds are in your

favor

start it up come on start it up what do

you think you're doing

I'm getting the boat out of g*nsh*t

range you lying coward you're retreating

I know I'm ready grouping I thought they

kept it rights laughing you get back in

town

you're down to your last man arcade yo I

wouldn't take too much credit for that

Dex

it's all over except the shouting so why

don't you be a good boy and tell me

where you've hidden the parabola be

ashamed to k*ll both you and your

brother and still not have it nobody

else is dying but you bloody thing

sometimes I wish we'd never invented

high tech this is more like it

yes much nicer

[Music]

I've been waiting for a long time arcade

this is for my brother door

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

you'll steak tartare when I find you you

always wanted my brother's parabola now

[Music]

I know what you are you're one of our

kaons weapons you don't scare me and you

can't stop me

well you were not cane a blind to the

effects of your w*r on the innocence

around you

this isn't about innocence it's about

revenge you've already cut one path of

death and another blast will k*ll the

swamp forever this is my world you don't

have my permission to destroy it

looks like I have it now

[Music]

I had to bail me out

[Music]

I'm thinking probably regret this oh

it's you I suppose I'm not dead dad am i

how much did you sink to the bottom but

I couldn't let you die if I'm going to

k*ll you it'll be with my own hands and

on my own terms

and for reasons better than old

vendetta's where's Dex yours overarching

or the view lost

[Music]

[Music]

I'm gonna k*ll you grab

[Applause]

[Music]

haha I hate to interrupt this bucolic

scene but I'm doing all the work here

well somebody's got to feed him until

you figure out what we're gonna do with

them I think your friend Flicka is that

enough to eat works hey well a little

less strumming and a little more

sweeping please just thought I'd make

the day pass faster with a little musica

oh great then you can whistle while you

work

[Music]

hey Doc what are you doing out here I'm

terrible with following doctor's orders

Tresa until I do this I'm not gonna be

able to get a good night's sleep I just

want you to know how good my intentions

were doc it's okay no it's not your

fault I want you to meet the real

Malcolm netting ttan what

Oh doc I can't meet him like this I

don't think you have all that much

choice

[Music]

you want to bet

[Music]

so often people explain away their

violence with the old adage and

eye-for-an-eye if everyone fathered that

rule we'd end up with a world blinded

[Music]
