the last of the theorem okay

[Music]

DeLeon

named d*ck

poor guy died for nothing

science arcane

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[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 mentor do not bring your evil here

I've warned you beware the wrath of

Swamp Thing the rain as hard as it looks

I think we'll postpone their varnish

until tomorrow

come on Doc I've been waiting up all

night to find out your secret on boat

varnishing well it's Friday night

varnishing in exactly what a young man

should be waiting for I don't know all I

can tell you is I don't think I ever saw

anybody so scared now my life

we'll okay will one more test we stop it

I'm fine oh thanks but I'll do the

diagnosis around here huh who was that

guy doc who was he I don't know I never

saw him before

coffee's on ha you want something to eat

no no thanks what's happening now well

what is it what's the matter

it's weak I feel like I'm sinking I

can't feel anything in my hand that's

where that guy you brushed past my hands

why don't you let me take a look at that

no would you would you guys just quit

fussing over me you go guys will the

fish around here are the only things I

need to eat I'm just gonna have some

coffee all right oh are you burned

no nose lumps what are you doing

my hand I can't feel anything in my hand

let me have a look at him no wait what

fish

oh well where are you going well

[Music]

he's gone he dug his way out from the

inside how does a man escape from his

own grave I mean I saw him die doctor

the serum didn't revive him maybe a dip

of course it did

you're right doctor it just took him

longer to regenerate lucky I came back

for my shovel shut up Graham you have

the perspicacity of a boiled potato and

listen to me I want max iris found and

brought back the formula does work and I

need his blood got it

what do we need next Cyrus I'm a

scientist you're the assistant I'll

decide what I do and don't need a shove

off

[Music]

sigh Oh dr. Holland your formula does

work after all unfortunately fell into

my hands you know what they say Finders

Keepers losers weepers

[Music]

there he is through that clear

[Music]

don't you know it's dangerous in the

swamp at night

dangerous and unpredictable it's coming

from over there

[Music]

did you see that all he did was touch

him look look at him an old ghost has

just come back to haunt me what are you

talking about

there was a serum I created many years

ago before the accident promising in all

aspects except for the fact that it

wasn't compatible to human cell

structure arcane stole it and I thought

he had mercifully used it all yes here

are the results again all I did was

touch him that's how he keeps the cells

in his body from disintegrating he

surrounds what is dead in himself with a

life watch from others this guy is his

touch King can k*ll people the problem

is instead of using electricity he uses

human energy he touched me

now look he touched me why aren't I dead

his hands brush right past - they're

still numb from it then you were

fortunate maybe didn't touch you long

enough

I k*lled trustus goldfish with my touch

just like he k*lled him with with his

touch weirdo don't touch me I can't

touch anything will

[Music]

chopped all the wood Abigail you should

have plenty for fire at the zenith well

mister mixed iris that wasn't our deal

here we're supposed to eat first and

work later now sit down

yeah so mister makes Cyrus where do you

come from what's funny you should ask

I can't remember nothing for the past

couple of days well do you remember what

you do for a living look I know one way

or the other no no no no how could I

remember some things though they go way

back I can smell a corn mash in the

morning the air I lost a little tin

soldier the creek when I was like five

and

dog named chippy spur was as smooth as

silk you thought he was made in China

know exactly who you are

but it sounds like you have more good

memories than I do abigail is welcome

back yet no oh hello who are you

names mixed iris ma'am Abigail here has

been kind enough to offer me some food

for a little honest work I'm sorry my

hands to filter to shake with yours

lately mr. mix Eris finished chopping

some wood and he's gonna fix the dock oh

that's just wonderful

well I best be getting back to work

ma'am

well where are you

wait I'll show you where the tools are

ow I turned my ankle mr. Miggs iris

Syrus

what are you I may be the reason you are

still alive your touch

it's turning me human

[Music]

after the initial opening of the chest

cavity the internal organs manifest a

complete desiccation the ligaments to

the joints

although retains some moisture have

cracked and began to putrefy the bile

ducts are clogged as the lymphatic

glands are clear and pristine well

that's it my love

say in your haste to prove your love and

devotion and my genius you took the

serum before you died you should have

taken it afterwards that is have it

administered afterwards and I shall find

that idiot max iris extract his blood

and reproduce Holland's exact formula

this will give me an unequaled status in

the scientific community and of course

there's a good chance that'll bring you

back to life

gram commence the hunt

of course if [ __ ] cyrus touched and

pulled the life from humans then it

makes sense it would have some effect on

me that has to be it his touch isolates

and brings out whatever is human left in

me imagine I've been given a chance for

my life by a dead man what do you mean

I'm dead you've taken a laser blast to

the brain and you've been injected with

a serum that makes you deadly to any

human you touch you're not to blame it's

the work of a madman named arcane but be

alright no in order for you to stay

alive you have to take the life from

others and the irony is

that same touch can make me human again

I just grab hold you to you become a

human you don't understand

after every touch you need to recharge

for life of others in order to give me

my human body back you'd have to k*ll

many people I hate a k*ller maybe not in

your heart but you don't have any

control over it all my life in time the

instinct for survival would take over

and you k*ll anyone to stay alive no

that's not true

anyone even that girl gave you lunch

Mikael no never she's my friend Mick

Cyrus you almost k*lled her this

afternoon and don't even know it well I

need to see you go away I told you to

stay away from me well I'm not leaving

until we get a couple of things settled

there's nothing to settle I'm not going

to touch you well then you know what's

going on what's happening no I don't and

I don't read minds all I know is that

you're frightened have been touched or

touching someone else Abigail you don't

know what I saw I don't want to hurt you

you don't think you're hurting me now

how much worse can it get much worse

trust me look I saw a man who had the

touch of death in his hands I think it's

in mine too no will you don't know what

you're talking about I know what

happened with the goldfish then how do

you explain it

remember the boat you were working on

well you must have had chemicals or

something on your hands when you put

them in the water you want me to test

this explanation out on you you want me

to touch you what if I do and you drop

dead on the spot

I can't risk that Abigail

[Music]

what are you doing I'm not sure yet all

I know is that I'm not leaving here

until I figure out what I'm gonna do

[Music]

I should have known the human is the

weakest side of me and that's what makes

iris is brought out I'm sorry miss iris

I try to stop them but there was too

much of the human in me to protect you

[Music]

you may have him now Akane what to keep

him is going to cost you

[Music]

what's all the mess the collective ends

are backing up we're doing everything we

can do better than that

get more men I don't want this pit full

of a*s at overnight we'll build you a

wonderful little house here you'll want

for nothing live literally forever I'm

gonna wear this all the time

it's me I'm good and mine oh look Silas

I'm very envious of you if only I'd had

an arcane in my life everything you ever

wanted I want us to be free to be with

my friends I shall be the only friend

you need or have this has to stop

walking you can no longer turn the

innocent in the water for your own ego

wonderful speech

is that a man speaking on a clot the

soul is the same in both they speak with

the same voice give me two weeks and

I'll give you back and a colander at

what cost

what would you sacrifice to keep its

iris alive quite simple really

thinning the herd strengthens the

species and coincidentally I have rather

a large herd I won't allow that to

happen Ark in a push a luck Holland now

that I had max iris I don't necessarily

need you anymore besides since your

little brush with humanity I don't

believe you have the strength you used

to

maybe so

let's finish this together arcane a slow

dance in the acetate only if you don't

mind I'll lead stop don't do that I hate

never be able to touch anything I might

as well be dead

mixed iris listen to me give me some

time I might be able to find a way to

help you without k*lling others even if

you could would ever be able to touch

anything no one can guarantee that I can

I got the most brilliant mind and the

biggest laboratory in the world no I

don't believe you I believe you look I

know you're stupid but don't be a [ __ ]

survival isn't everything

I've never really heard Abigail I never

would harm anyone

Munna

no bloody football it's over arcane I

still can't become human and you can't

save tatianna

he has no sense of humor whatsoever

[Music]

Abigail don't don't well last night you

wondered what would happen if he touched

me you were afraid I would drop dead

before your eyes he said you couldn't

risk that but it's not your decision

anymore it's mine

[Music]

all right

I'll do it again

[Music]

it's sad that anyone so unmoved by

others would burden a simple man like

Nick Cyrus with a touch of death

[Music]
