Did you eat too much tuna before getting on the boat, too?
Not this time.
Oh. Then why all this moping?
I've been so focused on Seaside, what if we find Edmee
and she doesn't want to see me because I forgot about her?
[vomiting]
Sorry, that's the tuna again. Ugh.
I'm coming, Edmee!
Ah, now he's gonna sing again.

From what I've heard, Edmee's a lady who can hold her own.
Besides, she's got the cavalry coming--
[snoring]
-All right. -So good.
-Ha! Whoo! -[Arlo] Yeah, we are pretty fierce.
[snores]
I think Edmee's got nothing to worry about.
Hmm.
-[ominous music plays] -[animals chittering]
It is an honor to have you all visit my former home.
-Isn't it beautiful? -[slurps]
-[sludgy splash] -Ugh!
Are we sure this is the way to the shack?
Uh, I think so.
-I don't remember everything looking so… -[rustling]
…creepy.
-[wood creaking] -Guys, what is that?
That's the shack!
Strange. I don't remember it being so… different.
[vines whipping]
[bluegrass music plays faintly]
No sign of the kidnappers.
They must have Edmee inside the shack.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. This is so real right now.
I'm, like, terrified, but excited, but also enraged at them!
[deep voice] Let's go get 'em!
Hang on. We have the element of surprise on our side.
Let's enter from the back.
Great. You guys do that, and I'll stick these GPS trackers I found
-to a bunch of stuff. -[beeps]
-What? Why? No, leave those here. -[clatters]
[ominous music continues]
-Oh. Hello, gorgeous. Oh. -[twinkles]
I want you.
Oh.
I'm gonna track some stuff.
[beeps, clanks]
[suspenseful music playing]
[gasps] Where's Furlecia?
-[creaks] -[yelps]
-Right here. -[teeth chattering]
Wow, Furlecia, your makeup skills have gotten really impressive.
Thank you.
I am living a dream of mine right now.
[growls]
I'm coming, Edmee!
-What he said? -[battle cries]
-[whimpers] -[all grunt]
[muffled panting]
Um…
-[muffled moan] -Edmee?
Are you in there?
[muffled scream]
Hang on, we're gonna get you out. [strains]
Help me find something to cut her free.
-I'm not sure-- -[Tony] I got you, kid!
-[bluegrass music plays] -[cackles] Ah! [screaming]
[Alia] Whoa!
[all] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whoa!
-[all yelling] -Mm… Mm!
Oh. Whoa-whoa! Ah!
[creaking]
-Whoo-whee! -Oh!
-[Bertie groans] -[panting] Hey, check me out.
-Do I have all my parts? -Thanks, y'all.
We could've been in there forever.
[chitters]
-[meows in surprise] -You two? Where's Edmee?
Welp, we better get out of here right now.
[laughs]
[both chuckle, grunt]
[both] Huh?
[in deep voice] You're not going anywhere till you tell me where Edmee is.
[twinkles]
[tense music rises, falls]
You got us.
We did send the ransom letter, and we did break in here to kidnap Edmee,
but it weren't our idea.
-We was working for someone else. -Who were you working for?
Well, now, don't judge us.
We got the idea from… from, well…
[whispers] The Bog Lady.
[both shudder]
You did business with a Bog Lady?
-Guys! Look at this. -[chittering]
[mysterious voice] Arlo.
Huh? Wha--
[chittering]
[eerie music plays]
She's calling them back home.
I'm sorry, am I missing something?
What's a Bog Lady?
-[all shushing] -[Ruff] Quiet.

All right, see you, Alligator-boy.
[Stucky] Bye-bye, babe.
I'm moving on out. It's time to go, Alligator-boy.
Wait. Where did she take Edmee?
[shouts] To the heart of the swamp.
-Beware! -[motor revving]
Oh, no.
They're getting away. Should we go after them?
No. They can't help us.
Edmee is with the Bog Lady in the heart of the swamp.
I should have never left home.
-She must hate me. -[mysterious voice] Arlo.
Edmee! I'm coming, Edmee!
Arlo!
We can't just let him go alone.
Has he gone mad?
He is in insane danger.
Okay, Alia, Bertie, you two go after him. The rest of us will catch up in the yacht.
Sounds like a plan.
It is.
Okay, gang, a wise cheesemaker once told me,
cut your curds, bathe in brine,
and most importantly, don't get…
[echoes] …lost!
[mysterious, gloomy music plays]
Well, we're lost.
Come on, we already passed this spot twice. Oh…
How did we lose an enormous yacht?
Yeah. Where's Furlecia?
[Furlecia as Tony] I'm right here. [chuckles]
Pretty convincing, right?
Uh… [chuckles]
Let's tone it down with the disguises, huh?
-[whooshes] -Ah!
No sign of any yachts.
[Furlecia as Tony] Okay, no one panic. Let's retrace our steps and--
Uh…
About the yacht…
-[bubbling] -[mysterious music plays]
[yacht creaks]
There goes our way home.
[crows cawing]
[panting]
[Alia grunts, panting]
Arlo! Slow down!
-[gasps] Oh. Ooh. -[flies buzzing]
The heart of the swamp. We found it.
Guys!
Guys?
Arlo?
[wings flapping]
No. What?
We've been tricked? Impossible.
Where are we?
[wind gusting]
[mysterious voice] Arlo.
[Arlo] Oh. Look…
[frogs croaking]
Welcome back, Arlo.
I have missed you so.
[stammers]
You know me?
[chuckles] Of course I do.
I've protected you ever since you were a little baby gator boy.
I’ve been so lonely here without you.
Promise me you’ll never leave…
-[yells] …again! -[slithering]
You belong to me.
Hey! [stammers] Stop!
Where's Edmee?
Looking for this?
[groans softly]
[gasps] Edmee! Let her go! What do you want with her?
-[Bog Lady] Her? -[groans softly]
She's nothing more than bait.
Edmee! I'm coming!

Change your perspective.
[crow cawing]
-[gasps, grunts] Where could it be? -[leaves rustling]

You belong to me!
Oh, Edmee, I never should have left the swamp.
I never should have left you!
Arlo Beauregard, you look at me.
Nothing wrong with spreading your wings and going off to see the world.
You cannot leave something behind when it's part of your heart.
-Part of… your heart. -[gentle music playing]
I think I know what to do.
Bog Lady!
You're right. I am a part of you.
Just like the swamp.
I might not live here anymore, but I can never really leave.
'Cause where I'm from will always be a part of where I'm going.
So, you can let us go now.
[all] Huh?
-Mm. No. I'm gonna eat you! -[tense music plays]
I thought for sure that would work!
-Don't worry, I got a backup plan. -Thank goodness, Edmee.
-Let's blow up the shack. -Hold on. What?
I got this place rigged like a tinderbox.
-Hopefully, we'll get blown clear. -[chomps]
[beeps, explodes]
[Edmee] Yee-haw!
[roars]

-[sighs] Huh? -[screaming]

Huh?

-[Bog Lady whimpering] -[water bubbling]
-[gentle music plays] -[Edmee] Arlo!
-[gasps, laughs] -Come here, my sweet baby boy.
Ooh, I have missed these hugs.
Ugh. I should have gotten here sooner. I should have never left the swamp.
You got here. That's what matters.
I'm just happy to see you and finally meet your weird city friends.
You guys are pretty fierce.
I like the fluffy one. Don't trust the fish.
How'd you know we'd be blown clear and not blown up?
Uh, 50-50 chance.
[all laugh]
-[Marcellus] Oh, the sharp wit. -[all laugh]
Ah…
The sunset is gorgeous.
Sunset? Oh, no, we're gonna be late for the uncondemning.
[Bertie] Don't worry, I know a way back home.
[sirens wailing in distance]
-[Elena] Hello, New York City. -[crowd cheering]
What an amazing job the residents of Seaside have done
restoring the pier and making this neighborhood habitable again.
[man screaming]
-[heroic music plays] -Hm?
[Marcellus] Get out of the way!
-[crowd gasps] -[squishy flapping]
[crowd] Whoa!
[thuds]
[Tony grunts]
[crowd cheers]
Ladies and gentlemen, the gator behind it all,
Arlo Beauregard!
Hi, everyone.
We are so excited to welcome you to Seaside.
A lot of you probably came a long way to be here.
I know I have.
Life can be a wild journey.
But someone very wise once told me,
"Where you're from will always be a part of where you're going."
