1
00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:24,918
Wrong, as usual.
2
00:00:25,091 --> 00:00:28,219
The United States' lack of action
in Eastern Europe...
3
00:00:28,395 --> 00:00:32,832
...proves that the Soviet Union's aggression
at the Afghan border...
4
00:00:32,999 --> 00:00:36,162
...will not be opposed publicly
by the United States.
5
00:00:38,204 --> 00:00:43,540
Issue: The Soviet Union continued
its recent series of military exercises...
6
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:46,941
...conducting a bomb test today
in the Bering Sea...
7
00:00:47,113 --> 00:00:51,049
...just 1500 miles
off the southern coast of Alaska.
8
00:00:51,217 --> 00:00:55,586
President Richard Nixon
issued this warning to the Soviets:
9
00:00:55,755 --> 00:00:59,247
The United States does not start fights.
10
00:00:59,426 --> 00:01:03,089
Let it be clear we maintain our strength...
11
00:01:03,263 --> 00:01:06,061
...in order to maintain peace...
12
00:01:06,232 --> 00:01:09,963
...so any adversary
should ask themselves:
13
00:01:10,136 --> 00:01:13,196
"Do the consequences
of attacking America...
14
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:16,001
...outweigh the potential benefits?"
15
00:01:16,176 --> 00:01:18,804
As a result of the Soviet activity...
16
00:01:18,978 --> 00:01:21,776
...the watchdog group
of nuclear scientists...
17
00:01:21,948 --> 00:01:27,352
...moved the Doomsday Clock
up to five minutes until midnight...
18
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,820
...destruction by nuclear war.
19
00:01:32,525 --> 00:01:34,220
Question:
20
00:01:34,494 --> 00:01:37,019
On a scale of zero to 10,
zero meaning impossibility...
21
00:01:37,197 --> 00:01:39,529
...10 meaning
complete metaphysical certitude...
22
00:01:39,699 --> 00:01:44,193
...what are the chances the Russians
will actually attack the United States?
23
00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:45,667
Pat Buchanan.
24
00:01:45,839 --> 00:01:47,170
Zero.
25
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:49,968
The Soviets
would never risk going to war...
26
00:01:50,143 --> 00:01:53,977
...when we have a walking nuclear deterrent
on our side.
27
00:01:54,147 --> 00:01:56,615
You're referring, of course,
to Dr. Manhattan...
28
00:01:56,783 --> 00:02:00,879
...but does Dr. Manhattan's existence
guarantee world peace? Eleanor Clift.
29
00:02:01,054 --> 00:02:03,784
Well, it hasn't
stopped the Soviet Union...
30
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:08,621
...from stockpiling record amounts
of nuclear weapons.
31
00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:10,490
You don't think it's just posturing?
32
00:02:10,663 --> 00:02:12,255
Maybe the reason
why the Soviets...
33
00:02:12,432 --> 00:02:14,957
...are doing these bomb tests...
34
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:19,504
...is because they feel threatened
by Dr. Manhattan. Of course.
35
00:02:20,073 --> 00:02:23,201
Maybe the whole world feels like that.
36
00:02:25,211 --> 00:02:27,679
Soviet ships have violated
the territorial waters...
37
00:03:04,484 --> 00:03:06,748
Just a matter of time, I suppose.
38
00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:41,040
It's a joke. It's all a joke.
39
00:04:41,681 --> 00:04:43,945
Mother, forgive me.
40
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:47,693
I was a hero, goddamn it!
41
00:08:49,095 --> 00:08:53,259
...an act clearly meant to send
a signal to the government in Saigon...
42
00:08:53,432 --> 00:08:57,766
...that violence and oppression
is not the way to peace.
43
00:09:35,107 --> 00:09:37,598
Fuck you, pigs!
44
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:10,868
Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.
45
00:10:56,756 --> 00:10:59,816
Get out of here, vigilantes!
46
00:11:07,533 --> 00:11:09,694
No!
47
00:11:36,662 --> 00:11:42,794
Edward Blake. Sixty-seven
years old. Six-two, a solid 225.
48
00:11:43,302 --> 00:11:45,167
Guy was built like a linebacker.
49
00:11:45,337 --> 00:11:47,237
Yeah, I saw the body.
50
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,465
For a guy his age,
he was in terrific shape.
51
00:11:49,642 --> 00:11:52,304
You mean apart from being dead?
52
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:55,036
That's plate glass.
53
00:11:55,214 --> 00:11:58,115
You'd have to step on the gas
just to put a crack in it.
54
00:11:58,284 --> 00:12:00,343
Had to have been thrown.
55
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:01,713
Check the bedroom?
56
00:12:01,887 --> 00:12:04,822
Yeah. Drawers opened, tossed through.
57
00:12:04,990 --> 00:12:08,050
Mattress flipped. Probably robbery.
58
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:09,694
Or made to look like one.
59
00:12:09,862 --> 00:12:11,625
See this?
60
00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:15,162
- Shaking hands with the president.
Whoa.
61
00:12:15,334 --> 00:12:17,564
Think Blake was a spook?
62
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:21,400
Government or black ops?
63
00:12:21,707 --> 00:12:23,607
I think...
64
00:12:23,909 --> 00:12:27,208
...this is way bigger than both of us.
65
00:12:30,316 --> 00:12:35,618
Rorschach's journal, October 12th, 1985.
66
00:12:35,788 --> 00:12:40,885
Dog carcass in alley this morning.
Tire tread on burst stomach.
67
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,390
This city's afraid of me.
68
00:12:43,562 --> 00:12:47,498
I've seen its true face.
The streets are extended gutters...
69
00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:50,567
...and the gutters are full of blood.
70
00:12:50,736 --> 00:12:53,204
And when the drains finally scab over...
71
00:12:54,273 --> 00:12:56,503
...all the vermin will drown.
72
00:12:57,143 --> 00:12:59,543
The accumulated filth of all their sex
and murder...
73
00:12:59,712 --> 00:13:02,010
...will foam up around their waists...
74
00:13:02,181 --> 00:13:07,642
...and all the whores and politicians
will look up and shout, "Save us".
75
00:13:08,621 --> 00:13:12,250
And I'll whisper, "No".
76
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:16,626
Now the whole world
stands on the brink...
77
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:19,287
...staring down into bloody hell.
78
00:13:19,465 --> 00:13:22,992
All those liberals and intellectuals...
79
00:13:23,169 --> 00:13:25,160
...and smooth talkers...
80
00:13:25,337 --> 00:13:28,795
...and all of a sudden,
nobody can think of anything to say.
81
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:32,137
Beneath me, this awful city.
82
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:36,077
It screams like an abattoir
full of retarded children...
83
00:13:36,248 --> 00:13:40,878
...and the night reeks of fornication
and bad consciences.
84
00:14:51,991 --> 00:14:53,925
Huh.
85
00:15:01,467 --> 00:15:05,597
Tonight, a comedian died in New York.
86
00:15:05,771 --> 00:15:07,136
Somebody knows why.
87
00:15:08,073 --> 00:15:10,337
Somebody knows.
88
00:15:11,076 --> 00:15:17,311
It all started with the gangs.
You know, people tend to forget that.
89
00:15:17,983 --> 00:15:21,077
Pirate outfits, ghosts.
90
00:15:21,253 --> 00:15:23,847
They thought it was funny:
dress up and pull heists.
91
00:15:25,557 --> 00:15:28,253
As soon as we'd arrest them,
they'd be back on the street.
92
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:32,261
Nobody could pick them out of a lineup
because of the damn masks.
93
00:15:32,431 --> 00:15:34,695
So a few of us cops, we get together...
94
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:38,234
...and we figure, what the heck,
we'll mask up, too.
95
00:15:38,404 --> 00:15:41,100
We'll finish what the law couldn't.
96
00:15:41,907 --> 00:15:45,934
Pretty soon, the papers get wind of it.
They ran with it...
97
00:15:46,111 --> 00:15:49,774
...and oh, boy, we're a national pastime.
98
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:53,441
It was me, Dollar Bill, Mothman...
99
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:56,986
...Captain Metropolis, Hooded Justice...
100
00:15:57,156 --> 00:16:00,353
...Silk Spectre and the Comedian.
101
00:16:00,526 --> 00:16:04,053
Oh, don't get me started on him.
102
00:16:06,198 --> 00:16:10,259
I must be drunk already,
telling you this sob story again.
103
00:16:10,436 --> 00:16:12,301
I think you were trying to make a point.
104
00:16:13,205 --> 00:16:19,371
Well, my point is that we had it too easy.
It wasn't fair what happened to you guys...
105
00:16:19,545 --> 00:16:23,675
You guys who picked up where we left off.
- with Nixon forcing you out.
106
00:16:24,717 --> 00:16:29,177
Nixon, oh, that prick. To think I voted
for that prick five times.
107
00:16:29,355 --> 00:16:32,085
Hey, it was him or the commies, right?
108
00:16:34,893 --> 00:16:38,693
Oh, wow, it's almost midnight.
Gotta go.
109
00:16:40,232 --> 00:16:41,859
Truth?
110
00:16:42,534 --> 00:16:46,265
You were a better Nite Owl
than I ever was, Danny boy.
111
00:16:46,438 --> 00:16:50,169
- Hollis, we both know that's bullshit.
- Hey.
112
00:16:50,342 --> 00:16:51,604
Watch it with the language.
113
00:16:51,777 --> 00:16:54,405
This is the left hook
that floored Captain Axis, remember?
114
00:16:54,580 --> 00:16:55,604
Yeah.
115
00:16:56,248 --> 00:16:58,341
Next week?
Well...
116
00:16:58,517 --> 00:17:03,113
...you know, you don't have to
keep humoring me like this.
117
00:17:03,288 --> 00:17:05,449
If you got a hot date or something...
118
00:17:05,624 --> 00:17:08,422
Hey, us retired guys
have to stick together, right?
119
00:17:10,195 --> 00:17:12,060
You ever miss it?
120
00:17:13,265 --> 00:17:15,358
No. You?
121
00:17:15,934 --> 00:17:17,731
Oh, heck, no.
122
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:20,801
Be seeing you.
123
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,097
Hello, Daniel.
124
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:24,928
Rorschach.
125
00:18:26,004 --> 00:18:30,304
Helped myself to some beans.
Hope you don't mind.
126
00:18:30,476 --> 00:18:32,910
No, no. Course not.
127
00:18:34,513 --> 00:18:37,073
You want me to heat those up for you?
128
00:18:37,249 --> 00:18:38,773
Fine like this.
129
00:18:40,352 --> 00:18:41,546
How have you been keeping?
130
00:18:45,924 --> 00:18:47,721
Out of prison.
131
00:18:48,193 --> 00:18:49,683
So far.
132
00:18:50,662 --> 00:18:51,822
Daniel...
133
00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:53,954
...look at this.
134
00:19:01,206 --> 00:19:03,834
Is this bean juice?
Human bean juice.
135
00:19:04,543 --> 00:19:09,037
Badge belonged to the Comedian.
Blood too. He's dead.
136
00:19:11,049 --> 00:19:12,516
Let's talk downstairs.
137
00:19:13,318 --> 00:19:15,081
It could have been a burglary.
138
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:17,950
Maybe the killer didn't know
who the Comedian was.
139
00:19:18,123 --> 00:19:22,856
An ordinary burglar?
Kill the Comedian? Ridiculous.
140
00:19:24,429 --> 00:19:27,865
I heard he'd been working
for the government since '77...
141
00:19:28,033 --> 00:19:31,196
...knocking over Marxist republics
in South America.
142
00:19:31,370 --> 00:19:34,305
Maybe it was a political killing
or something.
143
00:19:34,473 --> 00:19:35,735
Maybe.
144
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:39,173
Maybe someone's picking off
costumed heroes.
145
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:41,437
You don't think that's a little paranoid?
146
00:19:41,613 --> 00:19:44,173
That what they say about me now?
147
00:19:44,416 --> 00:19:45,678
Paranoid?
148
00:19:45,851 --> 00:19:48,684
Look, Comedian made
a lot of enemies over the years...
149
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:50,344
...even among his friends.
150
00:19:50,522 --> 00:19:52,683
Speaking of friends, how's Hollis Mason?
151
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:57,518
He wrote that book. Said some bad things
about the Comedian in it.
152
00:19:57,696 --> 00:20:01,757
I don't like what you're implying,
and I like being followed even less.
153
00:20:02,301 --> 00:20:06,761
Maybe I was keeping an eye on you,
in case someone's gunning for masks.
154
00:20:06,939 --> 00:20:11,603
- You were never that sentimental.
- Attack on one is attack on all of us.
155
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:14,478
What do you suggest we do about it?
156
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:16,540
Retribution.
157
00:20:17,950 --> 00:20:21,249
- Watchmen are over.
- Says Tricky Dick.
158
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:23,183
Says me.
159
00:20:25,791 --> 00:20:27,418
Nobody knows who you are.
160
00:20:27,593 --> 00:20:30,562
You can give it up,
try and have a normal life.
161
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:34,631
That what you have now?
A normal life?
162
00:20:35,634 --> 00:20:39,001
When you walk down the street
in a city dying of rabies...
163
00:20:39,171 --> 00:20:40,638
...past the human cockroaches...
164
00:20:40,806 --> 00:20:43,570
...talking about their heroin
and child pornography...
165
00:20:43,742 --> 00:20:45,266
...do you really feel normal?
166
00:20:46,411 --> 00:20:49,175
Least I'm not the one
still hiding behind a mask.
167
00:20:51,049 --> 00:20:52,311
No.
168
00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:56,113
You're hiding in plain sight.
169
00:20:57,489 --> 00:20:59,650
Be seeing you, Dan.
170
00:21:00,158 --> 00:21:02,626
A maintenance hatch
will let you out two blocks north.
171
00:21:02,794 --> 00:21:04,523
Yeah, I remember.
172
00:21:04,696 --> 00:21:08,757
Came here often,
when we were partners.
173
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:10,834
Those were great times, huh,
Rorschach?
174
00:21:11,336 --> 00:21:14,567
- What happened?
- You quit.
175
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,824
Mr. Veidt...
176
00:21:43,602 --> 00:21:45,763
...to date,
you're one of only two Watchmen...
177
00:21:45,937 --> 00:21:48,371
...ever to reveal their true identity
to the world...
178
00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:50,474
...the first being Hollis Mason.
179
00:21:50,642 --> 00:21:53,634
And you've certainly profited greatly
by it...
180
00:21:53,812 --> 00:21:59,079
...turning your superhero alter ego,
Ozymandias, into a billion-dollar industry:
181
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:02,311
Toys, lunchboxes, genetic engineering.
182
00:22:02,487 --> 00:22:04,546
I understand there's a movie
in the works.
183
00:22:04,723 --> 00:22:08,921
- I'm not hearing a question, Mr. Roth.
- I'm sorry. Do you think...
184
00:22:09,094 --> 00:22:11,654
The Watchmen resent me
for prostituting their struggle?
185
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:14,560
It's a fair question.
Yes, it's crossed my mind...
186
00:22:14,733 --> 00:22:17,759
...some of my old colleagues
might see it that way...
187
00:22:17,936 --> 00:22:20,928
...just as you're clearly aware
that biased journalism...
188
00:22:21,106 --> 00:22:23,700
...sells more magazines.
189
00:22:24,209 --> 00:22:28,976
The merchandising arm of Veidt Industries
is funding our work with Dr. Manhattan.
190
00:22:29,147 --> 00:22:32,082
We recently expanded our research facility
in Antarctica...
191
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:35,481
...in the hope of developing cheap,
renewable sources of energy...
192
00:22:35,654 --> 00:22:38,646
...that we might eliminate
the world's reliance on fossil fuels.
193
00:22:38,824 --> 00:22:41,258
Now, it doesn't take
a political scientist...
194
00:22:41,426 --> 00:22:44,827
...to see that our Cold War
with the Russians isn't ideological...
195
00:22:44,996 --> 00:22:48,488
...it's based upon fear.
Fear of not having enough.
196
00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:52,564
But if we make resources infinite...
197
00:22:52,738 --> 00:22:54,831
...ah...
198
00:22:55,006 --> 00:22:57,099
...we make war obsolete.
199
00:22:57,943 --> 00:23:01,777
I would hope the other Watchmen
understand that...
200
00:23:02,981 --> 00:23:04,642
...wherever they may be.
201
00:23:06,752 --> 00:23:08,117
Thanks for your time.
202
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,021
- You look good, Adrian.
- Dan.
203
00:23:17,195 --> 00:23:19,425
It's been too long.
204
00:23:21,166 --> 00:23:25,227
So Rorschach thinks
someone's hunting the Watchmen, huh?
205
00:23:25,904 --> 00:23:27,769
You think it's possible?
206
00:23:27,939 --> 00:23:30,669
Statistically, one murder
doesn't equal a trend.
207
00:23:31,810 --> 00:23:33,778
Rorschach's a sociopath, Dan.
208
00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:37,780
And so was the Comedian.
He was practically a Nazi.
209
00:23:38,617 --> 00:23:40,642
You know that better than anyone.
210
00:23:40,819 --> 00:23:43,014
I'm not here because I miss him.
211
00:23:43,188 --> 00:23:44,519
It's occurred to Rorschach...
212
00:23:44,689 --> 00:23:47,658
...that we're the only ones
who know each other's identities.
213
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,253
Actually, the whole world knows yours.
214
00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:53,497
That's why I'm warning you first.
215
00:23:57,102 --> 00:23:59,093
Thank you, Dan...
216
00:24:00,705 --> 00:24:04,505
...but I fear there's something
much more real to worry about...
217
00:24:04,676 --> 00:24:07,270
...than Rorschach's mask killer.
218
00:24:08,780 --> 00:24:13,308
If the Russians do launch their nukes,
can Jon really stop them?
219
00:24:13,485 --> 00:24:17,114
The Soviets have 51,000
warheads stockpiled.
220
00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:20,486
Even if Jon stops 99 percent of them...
221
00:24:20,659 --> 00:24:24,857
...the 1 percent that get through could
still kill every living thing on Earth.
222
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:29,965
Even Dr. Manhattan
can't be everywhere at once.
223
00:24:44,216 --> 00:24:49,848
Rorschach's journal,
October 13th, 1985...
224
00:24:50,021 --> 00:24:52,353
...8:30 pm.
225
00:24:53,058 --> 00:24:56,960
Meeting with Dreiberg
left bad taste in mouth.
226
00:24:57,162 --> 00:25:01,223
A flabby failure who sits
whimpering in his basement.
227
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,369
Why are so few of us left active...
228
00:25:05,537 --> 00:25:10,406
...healthy and without
personality disorders?
229
00:25:10,575 --> 00:25:13,806
The first Nite Owl
runs an auto-repair shop.
230
00:25:13,979 --> 00:25:17,380
The first Silk Spectre
is a bloated, aging whore...
231
00:25:17,549 --> 00:25:20,416
...dying in a California rest resort.
232
00:25:20,585 --> 00:25:23,179
Dollar Bill got his cape stuck
in a revolving door...
233
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:24,879
...where he got gunned down.
234
00:25:25,490 --> 00:25:27,924
Silhouette, murdered...
235
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:31,195
...a victim of her own indecent lifestyle.
236
00:25:31,763 --> 00:25:34,755
Mothman's in an asylum in Maine.
237
00:25:38,770 --> 00:25:41,898
Only two names remain on my list.
238
00:25:42,073 --> 00:25:47,170
Both share private quarters
at Rockefeller Military Research Center.
239
00:25:47,345 --> 00:25:49,677
I shall go to them.
240
00:25:50,015 --> 00:25:55,453
I shall go tell the indestructible man
that someone plans to murder him.
241
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:05,025
Good evening, Rorschach.
242
00:26:05,196 --> 00:26:08,688
Dr. Manhattan, you know why I'm here.
243
00:26:08,867 --> 00:26:10,300
Yes...
244
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:13,538
...but you're going to leave disappointed.
245
00:26:13,705 --> 00:26:17,436
Rorschach. You shouldn't be here.
You're a wanted man.
246
00:26:17,609 --> 00:26:19,804
Nice to see you too, Silk Spectre.
247
00:26:19,978 --> 00:26:22,037
I have a real name I've been using.
248
00:26:22,213 --> 00:26:23,237
Try it.
249
00:26:23,415 --> 00:26:25,508
Whatever you say, Laurie.
250
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:26,912
What are you doing here?
251
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:29,417
The Comedian is dead.
252
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:31,681
Rorschach wants me
to look into my future...
253
00:26:32,023 --> 00:26:34,491
...see if the killer is ever
publicly identified.
254
00:26:34,659 --> 00:26:37,753
Already warned Dreiberg.
Came to warn you too.
255
00:26:40,465 --> 00:26:42,831
Even if I wanted to help...
256
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:47,337
...my future is blocked
by some kind of temporal interference.
257
00:26:47,739 --> 00:26:51,800
- I cannot see it clearly.
- Interference? Caused by what?
258
00:26:51,977 --> 00:26:55,378
In all likelihood, nuclear holocaust.
259
00:26:56,114 --> 00:27:00,210
If the United States and Soviet Union
engage in all-out war...
260
00:27:00,385 --> 00:27:04,378
...the resulting blast wave would produce
a sudden burst of tachyons...
261
00:27:04,556 --> 00:27:09,516
...particles which travel backward
through what you perceive as time...
262
00:27:10,161 --> 00:27:13,494
...therefore obscuring my vision
of the present.
263
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:15,698
I must return to my work.
264
00:27:15,867 --> 00:27:16,993
Wait a minute.
265
00:27:17,168 --> 00:27:19,659
What if that's why
someone wants us out of the way?
266
00:27:19,838 --> 00:27:22,068
So we can't do anything to stop it?
267
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,071
Goodbye, Rorschach.
268
00:27:24,242 --> 00:27:26,506
Took a lot of effort
to get in here to see you.
269
00:27:26,678 --> 00:27:28,009
I'm not leaving...
270
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,612
...till I've had my say.
271
00:27:39,124 --> 00:27:42,059
Seems like there's a lot of things
you don't tell me these days.
272
00:27:42,227 --> 00:27:44,923
I didn't wanna worry you prematurely.
273
00:27:45,397 --> 00:27:49,527
If Adrian and I can solve the energy crisis,
war may be averted.
274
00:27:49,701 --> 00:27:51,760
But you always say time is simultaneous.
275
00:27:52,470 --> 00:27:55,337
If that's true,
then how can you change the future?
276
00:27:55,507 --> 00:28:00,501
If only you could perceive time as I do.
277
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:01,941
Please let me show you.
278
00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:12,856
Magic. Dreams. That is what I had before.
I was a hero, goddamn it!
279
00:28:13,024 --> 00:28:16,084
It's not my fault you got old.
What do you have to complain about?
280
00:28:16,261 --> 00:28:18,695
I'm putting food on the table
for you and your child.
281
00:28:18,863 --> 00:28:21,627
Call your friend Eddie.
Maybe he can give you a better life.
282
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,964
- It was a mistake. One time.
- Man tries to rape you...
283
00:28:26,271 --> 00:28:27,636
Stop!
284
00:28:28,406 --> 00:28:29,873
Your mind goes to dark places...
285
00:28:30,041 --> 00:28:32,373
...and you wonder
why I keep the worst from you.
286
00:28:36,314 --> 00:28:39,750
- Say hello to Dan for me.
- What?
287
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:44,317
You wanna ask me
to go to dinner with you...
288
00:28:46,024 --> 00:28:48,185
...like we used to...
289
00:28:49,627 --> 00:28:50,753
...but you won't.
290
00:28:51,529 --> 00:28:53,793
You know I can't.
291
00:28:56,434 --> 00:28:58,698
So you'll call Dan...
292
00:28:59,137 --> 00:29:01,332
...which is only natural.
293
00:29:01,673 --> 00:29:04,267
You deserve the comfort of an old friend.
294
00:29:38,576 --> 00:29:40,100
Dan Dreiberg's table.
295
00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:05,032
Did you know that
he and H.J. were-? I had no idea.
296
00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:08,597
You remember that crazy guy?
What'd he call himself?
297
00:30:08,773 --> 00:30:10,263
Captain Carnage.
298
00:30:10,441 --> 00:30:13,638
Used to pretend he was a supervillain
just so he could get beat up?
299
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:16,212
Yeah, he tried that on me once.
I just walked away.
300
00:30:16,381 --> 00:30:19,407
He starts following me down the street
in broad daylight...
301
00:30:19,584 --> 00:30:22,382
...yelling, "Punish me! Punish me!"
302
00:30:22,620 --> 00:30:25,145
I'm just saying, "No, get lost".
303
00:30:26,291 --> 00:30:28,759
God, whatever happened to him?
304
00:30:28,927 --> 00:30:31,088
Oh. Um...
He pulled that on Rorschach...
305
00:30:31,262 --> 00:30:33,662
...and Rorschach
dropped him down an elevator shaft.
306
00:30:40,138 --> 00:30:42,538
Oh, my God. That's not even funny.
307
00:30:43,241 --> 00:30:45,732
- It's a little funny.
- Yep.
308
00:30:47,645 --> 00:30:49,613
I'm glad I ordered
the four-legged chicken.
309
00:30:49,781 --> 00:30:51,749
It's really good to see you again.
310
00:30:52,984 --> 00:30:54,508
It's great seeing you too.
311
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,845
Why'd we do it, Dan? Dress up like that?
312
00:30:58,990 --> 00:31:02,323
- No one else would.
- Yeah, but do you remember my costume?
313
00:31:02,493 --> 00:31:05,587
All that tight latex?
I mean, it was awful.
314
00:31:05,763 --> 00:31:08,732
Uh... Yeah, yeah, awful.
315
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:11,334
But didn't wanna disappoint Mother.
316
00:31:11,502 --> 00:31:15,495
Wanted her little girl to be just like her
and fight bad guys.
317
00:31:16,174 --> 00:31:19,769
I think the Keene Act was the best thing
that ever happened to us.
318
00:31:20,845 --> 00:31:23,211
Well, we'll live longer anyway.
319
00:31:26,517 --> 00:31:28,041
What?
320
00:31:29,020 --> 00:31:33,514
Jon thinks, unless he can do something
about it...
321
00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:36,384
...that there's gonna be nuclear war.
322
00:31:36,861 --> 00:31:38,351
Soon.
323
00:31:39,230 --> 00:31:42,563
But I don't know what to think.
I mean, it's all...
324
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:45,794
...quantum mechanics
and parallel realities with him.
325
00:31:45,970 --> 00:31:48,734
I never even know
what universe he's actually seeing.
326
00:31:50,041 --> 00:31:53,169
He just keeps getting further away
from me.
327
00:31:53,878 --> 00:31:55,539
Everyone.
328
00:31:56,648 --> 00:31:59,310
I can't even tell
if he actually cares about me anymore...
329
00:31:59,484 --> 00:32:01,509
...or if he's just pretending.
330
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:05,155
If he's pretending, it means he cares.
331
00:32:09,894 --> 00:32:11,885
Hold on, I'll get the door.
332
00:32:13,231 --> 00:32:15,028
Thanks, Dan.
333
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,425
- Got it?
- Yeah.
334
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,468
I'm sorry.
335
00:32:23,641 --> 00:32:27,543
I invite you out to dinner to catch up
and have a few laughs...
336
00:32:27,912 --> 00:32:31,279
...but there don't seem to be many laughs
around these days.
337
00:32:31,449 --> 00:32:35,249
What do you expect?
The Comedian's dead.
338
00:34:06,911 --> 00:34:10,472
Laurie? Is that you?
339
00:34:13,184 --> 00:34:16,153
Thought you'd be used
to traveling that way by now.
340
00:34:16,821 --> 00:34:20,814
Well, I'm not.
I hate it when Jon teleports me.
341
00:34:20,992 --> 00:34:23,859
Well, it beats flying coach.
342
00:34:24,228 --> 00:34:26,219
Margarita?
343
00:34:26,464 --> 00:34:28,625
Mother, it's 2:00 in the afternoon.
344
00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:32,802
Mm.
345
00:34:33,471 --> 00:34:35,769
Remember that guy
that writes me letters?
346
00:34:36,140 --> 00:34:39,439
He sent me an item of memorabilia.
It's a Tijuana bible.
347
00:34:39,610 --> 00:34:43,774
This little eight-page porno comic
they did in the '30s and '40s.
348
00:34:43,948 --> 00:34:47,975
- He sent you this? - Sure.
They're very valuable, like antiques.
349
00:34:48,786 --> 00:34:50,481
Mother, this is gross.
350
00:34:50,655 --> 00:34:52,919
I think it's kind of flattering.
351
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:55,355
Why do you always call me Mother
when you're mad?
352
00:34:56,727 --> 00:35:00,788
I know why you're here.
I can still read, you know.
353
00:35:01,566 --> 00:35:03,796
I saw it in the paper.
354
00:35:04,469 --> 00:35:07,370
Eddie Blake's funeral is today.
355
00:35:09,173 --> 00:35:12,165
Finally got his punchline, I guess.
356
00:35:12,643 --> 00:35:15,476
- Poor Eddie.
- Poor Eddie? After what he did to you?
357
00:35:16,180 --> 00:35:17,704
Oh, Laurie, you're still young.
358
00:35:18,483 --> 00:35:20,417
You don't know.
359
00:35:20,585 --> 00:35:22,348
Things change.
360
00:35:23,187 --> 00:35:25,951
What happened happened 40 years ago.
361
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:29,389
I'm 67 years old.
362
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,758
Every day, the future
looks a little bit darker.
363
00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:36,760
But the past...
364
00:35:37,268 --> 00:35:40,260
...even the grimy parts of it...
365
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:43,433
...keep on getting brighter.
366
00:35:48,946 --> 00:35:51,779
I've got spots in my eyes.
367
00:35:55,253 --> 00:35:57,915
Stop it, Eddie.
368
00:35:58,890 --> 00:36:02,257
- Thank you, Weegee.
- Thank you, Mr. Owl.
369
00:36:03,461 --> 00:36:06,658
Tomorrow, 3:00, my studio.
370
00:36:06,831 --> 00:36:09,994
- Little place on 21 st.
- Sounds good.
371
00:36:10,168 --> 00:36:14,764
Wow, a real photo session.
Wonder how my hair will look?
372
00:36:17,074 --> 00:36:20,271
Oh, go ahead. I'll be there in five.
373
00:36:36,761 --> 00:36:37,785
Eddie.
374
00:36:38,863 --> 00:36:42,924
What the hell are you doing here?
You knew I was changing.
375
00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:44,692
Sure I did.
376
00:36:46,337 --> 00:36:47,929
Come on, baby.
377
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:50,363
I know what you need.
378
00:36:50,541 --> 00:36:54,602
You gotta have some kind of reason
for dressing in an outfit like this.
379
00:36:54,779 --> 00:36:57,077
I said no, Eddie.
380
00:36:57,715 --> 00:37:02,618
- No spelled Y-E-S.
- No spelled N-O.
381
00:37:02,787 --> 00:37:06,223
- All right?
- Come on, sweetheart.
382
00:37:10,161 --> 00:37:11,753
Eddie...
383
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,330
You little bastard.
384
00:37:58,943 --> 00:37:59,967
This what you like?
385
00:38:00,144 --> 00:38:02,635
- This what makes you hot?
- What?
386
00:38:13,124 --> 00:38:16,321
Things are tough all over, cupcake.
387
00:38:16,494 --> 00:38:20,590
It rains on the just and the unjust alike.
388
00:38:20,765 --> 00:38:24,599
The Comedian was a little bit of both.
389
00:38:26,070 --> 00:38:29,437
And he always thought
he'd get the last laugh.
390
00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:33,034
Thou knowest, Lord,
the secrets of our hearts.
391
00:38:33,644 --> 00:38:36,977
Shut not thy merciful ears
to our prayers...
392
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:41,744
...but spare us, Lord most holy,
O God most mighty...
393
00:38:41,919 --> 00:38:44,979
...O holy and merciful savior.
394
00:38:45,656 --> 00:38:48,386
Thou most worthy judge eternal.
395
00:38:48,559 --> 00:38:51,892
Suffer us not
at our last hour for any...
396
00:39:49,487 --> 00:39:51,921
Fireworks. You gotta be kidding me.
397
00:39:52,089 --> 00:39:56,822
You know, you'd think this goddamn
country had had enough fireworks.
398
00:39:57,728 --> 00:40:00,322
You know, if we'd lost here in Vietnam...
399
00:40:00,498 --> 00:40:05,458
...I think it might have driven us crazy.
You know, as a country.
400
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:09,934
But we didn't, thanks to you.
401
00:40:11,909 --> 00:40:13,843
You sound bitter.
402
00:40:14,011 --> 00:40:15,672
Me? Bitter?
403
00:40:15,846 --> 00:40:18,906
Fuck, no. I think it's hilarious.
404
00:40:25,256 --> 00:40:27,087
Oh, Jesus Christ.
405
00:40:27,258 --> 00:40:30,250
- Mr. Eddie?
- Just what I fucking needed.
406
00:40:30,428 --> 00:40:35,491
The war is over now.
We must talk about this baby.
407
00:40:36,267 --> 00:40:39,794
There's nothing to talk about.
See, I'm leaving.
408
00:40:39,970 --> 00:40:41,301
I'm gonna forget about you...
409
00:40:41,472 --> 00:40:44,305
...and your horrible, sweaty,
little piece-of-shit country.
410
00:40:44,875 --> 00:40:46,035
Get the fuck out of here.
411
00:40:47,778 --> 00:40:49,643
- No.
- Get the fuck out of here.
412
00:40:49,814 --> 00:40:51,179
You will remember.
413
00:40:52,950 --> 00:40:55,680
You will remember me and my country...
414
00:40:56,554 --> 00:40:58,181
...forever!
415
00:41:00,791 --> 00:41:02,656
My face!
416
00:41:04,862 --> 00:41:06,022
Blake. Don't.
417
00:41:06,831 --> 00:41:08,128
Blake!
418
00:41:15,005 --> 00:41:17,496
She was pregnant...
419
00:41:18,776 --> 00:41:20,505
...and you gunned her down.
420
00:41:20,678 --> 00:41:21,940
That's right...
421
00:41:22,112 --> 00:41:24,046
...and you know what? You watched me.
422
00:41:24,215 --> 00:41:27,207
You could have turned the gun to steam,
the bullets to mercury...
423
00:41:27,384 --> 00:41:30,979
...the bottle into goddamn snowflakes,
but you didn't, did you?
424
00:41:32,923 --> 00:41:35,756
You really don't give a damn
about human beings.
425
00:41:36,927 --> 00:41:39,760
You're drifting out of touch, Doc.
426
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:43,527
God help us all.
427
00:41:45,536 --> 00:41:46,833
Medic!
428
00:41:53,677 --> 00:41:56,840
Most holy and merciful savior.
429
00:41:57,781 --> 00:42:02,013
He cometh up and is cut down,
like a flower.
430
00:42:02,853 --> 00:42:07,051
In the midst of life, we are in death.
431
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,989
Welcome to the first meeting-
- This is bullshit.
432
00:42:13,163 --> 00:42:17,532
For a guy who calls himself the Comedian,
I can never tell when you're joking.
433
00:42:17,701 --> 00:42:21,102
Watchmen. That's the real joke.
434
00:42:21,272 --> 00:42:24,070
It didn't work 15 years ago,
and it ain't gonna work now...
435
00:42:24,241 --> 00:42:26,368
...because you wanna play
cowboys and Indians.
436
00:42:26,544 --> 00:42:28,910
Maybe we should agree
on no drinking at meetings.
437
00:42:30,714 --> 00:42:34,445
Rorschach and I have made headway
on the gang problem by working together.
438
00:42:34,618 --> 00:42:38,952
A group this size seems like a publicity
stunt. I'm not in it for the ink.
439
00:42:39,123 --> 00:42:40,920
We can do so much more.
440
00:42:41,091 --> 00:42:43,286
We can save this world...
441
00:42:44,895 --> 00:42:48,058
- ...with the right leadership.
- Yeah.
442
00:42:50,401 --> 00:42:52,164
And that'd be you, right, Ozzy?
443
00:42:52,336 --> 00:42:55,100
I mean, hell,
you're the smartest man on the planet.
444
00:42:55,272 --> 00:42:57,934
It doesn't take a genius
to see the world has problems.
445
00:42:58,309 --> 00:43:01,972
But it takes a room of morons to think
they're small enough for you to handle.
446
00:43:02,947 --> 00:43:06,883
You know, mankind's been trying to kill
each other off since the beginning of time.
447
00:43:07,051 --> 00:43:11,886
Now we finally have the power
to finish the job.
448
00:43:12,122 --> 00:43:15,751
Ain't nothing gonna matter once
those nukes start flying. We'll all be dust.
449
00:43:18,896 --> 00:43:20,921
Then Ozymandias here...
450
00:43:21,932 --> 00:43:24,196
...will be the smartest man
on the cinder.
451
00:43:33,110 --> 00:43:35,169
For as much as it hath pleased...
452
00:43:35,446 --> 00:43:40,315
...almighty God to take onto himself
the soul of our dear departed brother...
453
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,780
...let us therefore commit his body
to the ground.
454
00:43:45,956 --> 00:43:49,414
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes...
455
00:44:08,712 --> 00:44:14,981
Watchmen! Police!
Police to protect the people!
456
00:44:19,523 --> 00:44:23,550
Attention, citizens.
We are trying to maintain order.
457
00:44:23,727 --> 00:44:28,164
You must clear the streets
until the police strike is over.
458
00:44:28,332 --> 00:44:31,495
If you could-
Please, there's no need for violence.
459
00:44:31,669 --> 00:44:34,763
Goddamn it. All right.
That's how you wanna do it?
460
00:44:46,483 --> 00:44:48,144
There's no need for violence.
461
00:44:48,318 --> 00:44:51,446
Fuck you. Fuck you!
462
00:44:57,695 --> 00:44:59,424
Oh, this is getting heavy.
463
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,721
Goddamn, I love working
on American soil, Dan.
464
00:45:26,890 --> 00:45:29,324
Ain't had this much fun
since Woodward and Bernstein.
465
00:45:29,493 --> 00:45:31,120
How long can we keep this up?
466
00:45:31,295 --> 00:45:34,890
Congress is pushing through some new bill
that's gonna outlaw masks.
467
00:45:35,065 --> 00:45:36,327
Our days are numbered.
468
00:45:36,500 --> 00:45:40,766
Until then, it's like you always say:
We're society's only protection.
469
00:45:40,938 --> 00:45:45,500
- From what?
- Are you kidding me? From themselves.
470
00:45:45,676 --> 00:45:47,871
- Son of a bitch.
No, Comedian, wait!
471
00:45:49,413 --> 00:45:51,313
Get your stinking hands off me.
472
00:45:53,484 --> 00:45:55,952
What the hell happened to us?
473
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:02,589
What happened to the American dream?
474
00:46:03,427 --> 00:46:06,260
What happened to the American dream?
475
00:46:06,430 --> 00:46:08,557
It came true!
476
00:46:08,732 --> 00:46:10,757
You're looking at it.
477
00:47:31,582 --> 00:47:33,049
Edgar William Jacobi.
478
00:47:33,217 --> 00:47:37,051
Also known as Edgar William Vaughn.
Also known as Moloch.
479
00:47:41,091 --> 00:47:43,355
What are you talking about?
480
00:47:44,294 --> 00:47:45,727
I'm a retired businessman...
481
00:47:48,031 --> 00:47:50,864
Lie again, Moloch, I break another finger.
482
00:47:51,034 --> 00:47:53,059
I did my time.
483
00:47:53,237 --> 00:47:56,035
I'm not Moloch anymore.
484
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:01,077
- What do you want from me?
- Heard you attended Blake's funeral. Why?
485
00:48:01,245 --> 00:48:04,703
I just felt I should...
486
00:48:05,883 --> 00:48:08,784
...pay my respects to the Comedian.
487
00:48:11,255 --> 00:48:15,988
- How'd you know he was the Comedian?
- He broke in here. A week ago.
488
00:48:16,159 --> 00:48:18,491
He had his mask off.
489
00:48:18,962 --> 00:48:22,454
- He was drunk.
- Enemies. For decades.
490
00:48:22,633 --> 00:48:25,659
- Why should he visit you?
- I don't know.
491
00:48:25,836 --> 00:48:28,771
I woke up in my bedroom
and there he was.
492
00:48:28,939 --> 00:48:30,907
He was upset.
493
00:48:31,475 --> 00:48:32,999
He was crying.
494
00:48:33,510 --> 00:48:35,808
Crying? The Comedian?
495
00:48:35,979 --> 00:48:38,971
He was babbling, not making any sense.
496
00:48:39,149 --> 00:48:42,141
I was pissing in my pants.
497
00:48:42,319 --> 00:48:44,617
I thought he was gonna kill me.
498
00:48:44,788 --> 00:48:47,052
What did he say?
499
00:48:48,358 --> 00:48:50,019
It's a joke.
500
00:48:50,761 --> 00:48:53,321
It's all a fucking joke.
501
00:48:55,365 --> 00:48:57,765
You know, I thought I knew how it was.
502
00:48:57,935 --> 00:49:00,961
I thought I knew how the world was.
503
00:49:02,105 --> 00:49:04,767
I've done some bad things.
504
00:49:05,442 --> 00:49:09,037
I did bad things to women. I shot kids.
505
00:49:09,212 --> 00:49:11,476
In 'Nam, you know.
506
00:49:12,049 --> 00:49:13,482
But that was fucking war.
507
00:49:14,451 --> 00:49:15,782
This...
508
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:19,115
I never done anything like this.
509
00:49:21,792 --> 00:49:24,727
God, here I am...
510
00:49:24,895 --> 00:49:26,988
...spilling my guts...
511
00:49:27,464 --> 00:49:28,954
...to one of my archenemies.
512
00:49:31,134 --> 00:49:33,466
But the truth is...
513
00:49:34,071 --> 00:49:38,667
...you're the closest thing to a friend
I got. What the fuck does that say?
514
00:49:42,579 --> 00:49:44,774
Shit.
515
00:49:46,316 --> 00:49:47,977
And your name...
516
00:49:48,151 --> 00:49:50,676
...your name was on the list...
517
00:49:50,887 --> 00:49:55,187
...along with Janey, you know,
whatever the fuck her name is.
518
00:49:55,359 --> 00:49:57,793
Manhattan's old girl.
519
00:50:01,999 --> 00:50:04,160
Mother, forgive me.
520
00:50:05,335 --> 00:50:06,996
And then he left.
521
00:50:08,005 --> 00:50:12,601
I swear I don't know
what the hell he was talking about.
522
00:50:19,349 --> 00:50:21,317
Funny story.
523
00:50:21,785 --> 00:50:24,117
Sounds unbelievable.
524
00:50:24,888 --> 00:50:26,822
Probably true.
525
00:50:26,990 --> 00:50:29,686
So that's it?
526
00:50:29,860 --> 00:50:33,990
- I'm clean?
- You?
527
00:50:35,198 --> 00:50:36,529
Clean?
528
00:50:41,471 --> 00:50:42,563
Amygdalin.
529
00:50:42,739 --> 00:50:45,435
This phony medication
made from apricot pits.
530
00:50:45,609 --> 00:50:48,840
- It's illegal.
- Come on.
531
00:50:50,714 --> 00:50:53,046
Please don't confiscate that.
532
00:50:53,884 --> 00:50:56,682
I'm trying anything.
533
00:50:58,155 --> 00:50:59,645
I have cancer.
534
00:51:00,657 --> 00:51:01,988
What kind of cancer?
535
00:51:03,894 --> 00:51:06,920
You know the kind
you eventually get better from?
536
00:51:08,832 --> 00:51:10,823
That ain't the kind I got.
537
00:51:14,071 --> 00:51:18,030
Rorschach's journal. October 16th.
538
00:51:18,208 --> 00:51:21,041
Want some of this?
Fifty bucks, I'll suck your cock.
539
00:51:21,244 --> 00:51:24,008
- Thought about Moloch's story.
- Come on.
540
00:51:24,181 --> 00:51:26,115
Could all be lies.
541
00:51:26,283 --> 00:51:30,583
A revenge scheme
planned during his years behind bars.
542
00:51:30,754 --> 00:51:35,851
Fuck you. I make more in a week
than you make in a year, you fucking homo.
543
00:51:36,026 --> 00:51:37,618
But if it's true...
544
00:51:37,794 --> 00:51:40,058
...what could have possibly
scared the Comedian...
545
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:42,095
...enough to cry in front of Moloch?
546
00:51:43,467 --> 00:51:44,491
What was it he saw?
547
00:51:46,269 --> 00:51:47,930
And that list he mentioned.
548
00:51:52,109 --> 00:51:55,510
Edward Blake. The Comedian.
549
00:51:55,679 --> 00:51:58,079
Born 1918.
550
00:51:58,248 --> 00:52:00,273
Buried in the rain.
551
00:52:00,450 --> 00:52:02,315
Murdered.
552
00:52:02,486 --> 00:52:06,513
Is that what happens to us?
No time for friends?
553
00:52:07,457 --> 00:52:10,620
Only our enemies leave roses.
554
00:52:10,927 --> 00:52:13,828
Violent lives ending violently.
555
00:52:15,799 --> 00:52:20,862
Blake understood.
Humans are savage in nature.
556
00:52:21,037 --> 00:52:23,733
No matter how much you try
to dress it up...
557
00:52:23,907 --> 00:52:26,034
...to disguise it...
558
00:52:26,209 --> 00:52:29,337
...Blake saw society's true face.
559
00:52:29,513 --> 00:52:34,143
Chose to be a parody of it. A joke.
560
00:52:34,317 --> 00:52:35,978
I heard joke once.
561
00:52:37,154 --> 00:52:40,954
Man goes to doctor, says he's depressed.
562
00:52:41,124 --> 00:52:44,992
Life seems harsh and cruel.
563
00:52:45,162 --> 00:52:49,030
Says he feels all alone
in threatening world.
564
00:52:49,199 --> 00:52:51,997
Doctor says treatment is simple.
565
00:52:52,402 --> 00:52:56,839
"The great clown Pagliacci is in town.
Go see him.
566
00:52:57,007 --> 00:52:58,998
That should pick you up".
567
00:52:59,509 --> 00:53:02,444
Man bursts into tears.
568
00:53:02,612 --> 00:53:06,946
"But doctor," he says. "I am Pagliacci".
569
00:53:08,952 --> 00:53:10,681
Good joke.
570
00:53:10,954 --> 00:53:12,854
Everybody laugh.
571
00:53:13,023 --> 00:53:15,184
Roll on snare drum.
572
00:53:15,692 --> 00:53:17,182
Curtains.
573
00:53:25,635 --> 00:53:27,899
What time do you have to be
at your interview?
574
00:53:28,071 --> 00:53:29,698
Don't worry.
575
00:53:30,340 --> 00:53:32,831
We've got plenty of time.
576
00:53:39,883 --> 00:53:42,078
Your finger's like licking a battery.
577
00:54:02,405 --> 00:54:05,169
God, Jon, stop. What are you doing?
578
00:54:05,342 --> 00:54:06,673
Please don't be upset.
579
00:54:06,843 --> 00:54:10,506
I always thought you liked this.
580
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:12,079
No.
581
00:54:13,583 --> 00:54:16,552
I don't- No.
582
00:54:17,387 --> 00:54:20,220
I don't want that.
583
00:54:20,490 --> 00:54:23,653
I don't know
what stimulates you anymore.
584
00:54:25,795 --> 00:54:29,424
Look, I know you were just trying...
585
00:54:31,234 --> 00:54:33,702
Are you working in here
while we're in bed together?
586
00:54:33,870 --> 00:54:37,306
My work with Adrian
is at a critical stage right now.
587
00:54:37,774 --> 00:54:40,937
- I didn't think it was necessary to-
- To what?
588
00:54:41,111 --> 00:54:44,638
To what? To tell me which one of you
is giving me a pity fuck?
589
00:54:53,790 --> 00:54:56,224
My attention was completely focused
on you.
590
00:54:56,826 --> 00:54:59,090
If you think there's a problem
with my attitude...
591
00:54:59,262 --> 00:55:01,492
...I am prepared to discuss it.
592
00:55:03,266 --> 00:55:06,997
You know how everything in this world
fits together except people.
593
00:55:07,170 --> 00:55:11,630
What am I to you?
Another puzzle to be solved?
594
00:55:11,808 --> 00:55:15,505
Have your men stand back.
I'm teleporting the reactor to Karnak now.
595
00:55:16,346 --> 00:55:19,281
You're my only remaining link
to the world.
596
00:55:27,057 --> 00:55:29,651
I don't want that responsibility anymore.
597
00:55:35,532 --> 00:55:37,659
He's all yours.
598
00:55:43,707 --> 00:55:46,073
Don't worry, Jon. She'll be back.
599
00:55:47,544 --> 00:55:49,739
No, she won't.
600
00:56:03,827 --> 00:56:08,389
He's been called
many things: Hero, weapon...
601
00:56:08,898 --> 00:56:11,366
...linchpin of our national security...
602
00:56:11,534 --> 00:56:16,062
...deterrent to nuclear war,
or a man to end worlds.
603
00:56:16,406 --> 00:56:18,966
Later tonight, Dr. Manhattan...
604
00:56:19,142 --> 00:56:24,102
...will answer my questions and yours
in an exclusive interview...
605
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:29,149
...brought to you commercial-free
by Veidt Enterprises.
606
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,262
Who is it?
607
00:56:45,435 --> 00:56:47,403
It's Laurie.
608
00:56:58,281 --> 00:57:01,546
Sorry. I just had this new lock installed.
609
00:57:01,718 --> 00:57:04,186
I didn't know where else to go.
610
00:57:04,354 --> 00:57:07,517
Oh, it's okay. Come in.
611
00:57:14,964 --> 00:57:15,988
What's wrong?
612
00:57:17,300 --> 00:57:18,927
I left Jon.
613
00:57:19,636 --> 00:57:21,934
Oh, God.
614
00:57:22,405 --> 00:57:24,134
I'm so sorry.
615
00:57:24,307 --> 00:57:27,140
I don't know why I'm here. I just...
616
00:57:28,678 --> 00:57:31,146
I don't know anybody else.
617
00:57:31,981 --> 00:57:35,280
I don't know anybody
except for goddamn superheroes.
618
00:57:35,852 --> 00:57:37,513
That's okay.
619
00:57:37,687 --> 00:57:39,951
You probably just had an argument
or something.
620
00:57:40,123 --> 00:57:41,488
No, Dan.
621
00:57:42,025 --> 00:57:44,721
You don't know what it's been like
living with him.
622
00:57:44,894 --> 00:57:48,022
The way he looks at things now,
it's like he doesn't...
623
00:57:48,198 --> 00:57:50,666
...remember what they are.
624
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,161
It's like this world, this real world...
625
00:57:53,336 --> 00:57:57,136
...to him,
it's like walking through mist.
626
00:57:57,307 --> 00:58:00,868
And people are just shadows.
627
00:58:02,445 --> 00:58:04,936
Shadows in a fog.
628
00:58:06,049 --> 00:58:09,416
God, how did everything
get so tangled up?
629
00:58:11,020 --> 00:58:13,011
I'm sorry, Dan.
630
00:58:13,756 --> 00:58:16,748
This is twice now
I've ruined your evening.
631
00:58:17,193 --> 00:58:20,185
Come on. I'm glad you came over.
632
00:58:20,363 --> 00:58:23,890
I was just gonna see Hollis
for our weekly beer session.
633
00:58:24,067 --> 00:58:26,058
You're more than welcome to join.
634
00:58:27,237 --> 00:58:30,536
In fact, I insist.
635
00:59:03,039 --> 00:59:05,837
Terrific. Dr. Manhattan arrives
and no one thinks to tell me.
636
00:59:06,009 --> 00:59:07,909
He just-
- We don't have time for makeup.
637
00:59:08,077 --> 00:59:10,375
That blue is too light for television.
638
00:59:13,149 --> 00:59:15,140
Is that dark enough?
639
00:59:17,387 --> 00:59:20,754
Yeah, that's dark enough.
640
00:59:23,059 --> 00:59:25,584
Seymour.
Bernie, how's tricks?
641
00:59:25,762 --> 00:59:29,163
See this guy behind me?
Been bugging me all week.
642
00:59:41,177 --> 00:59:43,441
Girl.
What we got here?
643
00:59:43,613 --> 00:59:46,480
Here's a list of Pentagon-approved
no-go areas.
644
00:59:46,649 --> 00:59:49,447
Afghanistan will obviously come up,
but just play it cool...
645
00:59:49,619 --> 00:59:51,985
...and try not to get
into any tight corners.
646
00:59:52,155 --> 00:59:55,852
...a renowned nuclear physicist,
who, through a terrible accident...
647
00:59:56,025 --> 01:00:01,793
...was gifted with extraordinary powers,
capable of bending matter to his will.
648
01:00:01,965 --> 01:00:06,231
Today, the world knows him
as Dr. Manhattan.
649
01:00:06,402 --> 01:00:07,733
Welcome.
650
01:00:12,742 --> 01:00:13,970
Thank you.
651
01:00:14,143 --> 01:00:16,077
That's right.
652
01:00:22,619 --> 01:00:25,417
Ms. Black, you have the first question.
653
01:00:25,588 --> 01:00:27,021
Dr. Manhattan, as you know...
654
01:00:27,190 --> 01:00:29,886
...the Doomsday Clock
is a symbolic clock face...
655
01:00:30,059 --> 01:00:33,620
...analogizing humankind's proximity
to extinction...
656
01:00:33,963 --> 01:00:36,955
...midnight representing the threat
of nuclear war.
657
01:00:37,133 --> 01:00:40,296
As of now, it stands at four minutes
to midnight.
658
01:00:40,937 --> 01:00:43,405
Would you agree that we're that close
to annihilation?
659
01:00:43,806 --> 01:00:46,138
My father was a watchmaker.
660
01:00:46,976 --> 01:00:51,310
He abandoned it when Einstein discovered
that time is relative.
661
01:00:52,482 --> 01:00:54,473
I would only agree
that a symbolic clock...
662
01:00:54,651 --> 01:00:56,642
...is as nourishing to the intellect...
663
01:00:56,819 --> 01:01:00,084
...as a photograph of oxygen
to a drowning man.
664
01:01:02,425 --> 01:01:04,154
So you're saying there is no danger.
665
01:01:04,327 --> 01:01:08,320
Even in a world without nuclear
weapons, there would still be danger.
666
01:01:13,269 --> 01:01:16,170
And would you say, as so many claim...
667
01:01:16,339 --> 01:01:18,102
...that you are, in fact, a god...
668
01:01:18,274 --> 01:01:21,107
...given you see the past
and future simultaneously?
669
01:01:21,277 --> 01:01:23,575
I can only see my own past...
670
01:01:24,013 --> 01:01:27,915
...my own future. I am not omniscient.
671
01:01:28,518 --> 01:01:29,883
Doug Roth, your question?
672
01:01:30,053 --> 01:01:32,783
Speaking of your past, Dr. Manhattan...
673
01:01:32,955 --> 01:01:35,719
...do you remember a man
named Wally Weaver?
674
01:01:35,892 --> 01:01:41,023
Yes. We were both physicists together
at the Gila Flats Research Base.
675
01:01:41,531 --> 01:01:43,089
He died of cancer.
676
01:01:43,966 --> 01:01:46,230
- He was a good man.
How about Edgar Jacobi...
677
01:01:46,402 --> 01:01:49,303
...also known as the supervillain Moloch?
678
01:01:50,273 --> 01:01:54,369
You encountered him several times
in the '60s: battles, conflicts.
679
01:01:54,577 --> 01:01:57,045
Did you know that he has cancer as well?
680
01:01:57,980 --> 01:01:59,208
I wasn't told.
681
01:01:59,382 --> 01:02:01,612
And what about
General Anthony Randolph?
682
01:02:01,784 --> 01:02:05,220
He was your handler when you first
started working for the government.
683
01:02:05,621 --> 01:02:06,645
Cancer.
684
01:02:06,823 --> 01:02:09,485
You're suggesting I was the cause.
685
01:02:09,892 --> 01:02:12,884
From where I'm standing,
it's starting to look pretty conclusive.
686
01:02:13,062 --> 01:02:15,087
Even if that's the case, it's irrelevant.
687
01:02:15,264 --> 01:02:18,062
A live human body
and a deceased human body...
688
01:02:18,234 --> 01:02:20,327
...have the same number of particles.
689
01:02:23,072 --> 01:02:24,972
Structurally, there's no difference.
690
01:02:31,581 --> 01:02:33,742
All right. Let's settle down, please.
691
01:02:42,525 --> 01:02:43,753
What about Janey Slater?
692
01:02:44,527 --> 01:02:46,859
You think it makes a difference to her?
693
01:02:47,930 --> 01:02:49,261
Janey?
694
01:02:49,599 --> 01:02:51,157
Your ex-girlfriend?
695
01:02:51,334 --> 01:02:54,963
She was a physicist too.
You saw each other for 11 years.
696
01:02:55,138 --> 01:02:56,662
Doug, one question at a time.
697
01:02:56,839 --> 01:03:00,206
She has cancer as well.
Doctors have given her six months.
698
01:03:00,376 --> 01:03:02,207
Isn't that right, Miss Slater?
699
01:03:17,727 --> 01:03:19,524
You were the world to me, Jon.
700
01:03:20,129 --> 01:03:22,359
You were my whole life.
701
01:03:23,299 --> 01:03:25,893
Do you remember how many times
you said you loved me?
702
01:03:26,068 --> 01:03:27,763
Janey, I wasn't told.
703
01:03:28,237 --> 01:03:33,607
I stuck by you after the accident.
I gave you everything.
704
01:03:38,648 --> 01:03:40,309
This is how you repay me?
705
01:03:40,750 --> 01:03:45,653
- Janey, I wasn't told. I didn't know.
- Damn you, Jon. Goddamn you.
706
01:03:45,822 --> 01:03:47,813
Janey, wait.
707
01:03:49,225 --> 01:03:51,659
- That's it. This interview is over.
Get up there.
708
01:03:51,828 --> 01:03:54,194
Get those cameras off.
Everybody back off.
709
01:03:54,363 --> 01:03:58,060
Everybody back off.
I need some backup here. Leave him alone.
710
01:03:58,234 --> 01:04:04,332
Please, if everyone
would just go away...
711
01:04:04,507 --> 01:04:07,408
...and leave me alone...
712
01:04:07,577 --> 01:04:08,976
Do you care to comment?
713
01:04:09,145 --> 01:04:12,171
I said, leave me alone!
714
01:04:22,645 --> 01:04:24,840
I am looking at the stars.
715
01:04:25,348 --> 01:04:27,339
They're so far away...
716
01:04:27,784 --> 01:04:30,446
...and their light takes so long
to reach us...
717
01:04:33,189 --> 01:04:37,387
...all we ever see of stars
are their old photographs.
718
01:04:40,363 --> 01:04:44,197
It is July, 1959, and I am in love.
719
01:04:45,034 --> 01:04:46,695
That's great.
720
01:04:46,869 --> 01:04:48,496
- You can pick it up tomorrow.
- Okay.
721
01:04:48,671 --> 01:04:50,400
- Seventy-five cents.
- Okay, thank you.
722
01:04:50,573 --> 01:04:51,597
Thank you.
723
01:04:51,774 --> 01:04:55,972
Gosh, Jon, I wish he gave us
a little notice. I'm sure I made a face.
724
01:04:56,145 --> 01:05:01,139
Oh, no, no.
I'm sure that you'll look beautiful.
725
01:05:05,054 --> 01:05:07,386
Her name is Janey Slater.
726
01:05:08,224 --> 01:05:10,886
She is a physicist, like me.
727
01:05:12,161 --> 01:05:13,924
I am 30 years old.
728
01:05:18,635 --> 01:05:22,571
We were introduced by a good friend
of mine from college, Wally Weaver.
729
01:05:26,175 --> 01:05:28,735
It is February 12th, 1981.
730
01:05:28,911 --> 01:05:32,677
Wally dies of cancer,
of which they now say I am the cause.
731
01:05:50,199 --> 01:05:53,600
That night, Janey and I make love
for the first time.
732
01:05:59,609 --> 01:06:02,601
A month from now,
the accident awaits me.
733
01:06:09,786 --> 01:06:13,278
Oh, I'll catch up with you guys.
I think I left my watch inside.
734
01:06:13,956 --> 01:06:16,186
Hey. Let's just wait a second.
735
01:06:18,928 --> 01:06:23,331
I cross the room to the
Intrinsic Field Center. I find my watch.
736
01:06:30,039 --> 01:06:31,199
When I get to the door...
737
01:06:32,975 --> 01:06:34,169
...Wally is turning white.
738
01:06:34,344 --> 01:06:38,405
The program's locked in.
We can't override the time lock.
739
01:06:39,782 --> 01:06:41,113
I am terrified.
740
01:06:41,284 --> 01:06:42,308
Jon?
741
01:06:48,257 --> 01:06:50,020
I'm sorry, Jon...
742
01:06:51,928 --> 01:06:53,486
...but I can't...
743
01:06:55,765 --> 01:06:57,289
Janey, don't leave me!
744
01:06:57,834 --> 01:06:59,825
Don't leave me!
745
01:07:29,365 --> 01:07:33,961
It is May 12th, 1959,
when I'm introduced to Janey.
746
01:07:34,370 --> 01:07:36,338
She buys me a beer...
747
01:07:36,506 --> 01:07:39,373
...the first time a woman
has done this for me.
748
01:07:40,042 --> 01:07:43,534
As she passes me the cold,
perspiring glass...
749
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:46,041
...our fingers touch.
750
01:07:56,225 --> 01:07:58,386
Yes, Jon, good.
751
01:07:58,561 --> 01:08:04,056
Now it's just a question of reassembling
the components in the correct sequence.
752
01:08:07,904 --> 01:08:08,996
I feel fear...
753
01:08:10,239 --> 01:08:12,366
...for the last time.
754
01:08:28,591 --> 01:08:30,923
A token funeral is held.
755
01:08:31,260 --> 01:08:33,251
There is nothing to bury.
756
01:08:33,596 --> 01:08:35,928
Janey frames the snapshot.
757
01:08:36,265 --> 01:08:39,098
It's the only photograph of me
anyone has.
758
01:08:40,403 --> 01:08:45,272
A circulatory system is seen
by the perimeter fence.
759
01:08:45,675 --> 01:08:47,142
A few days later...
760
01:08:47,310 --> 01:08:50,541
...a partially muscled skeleton
stands in a hallway...
761
01:08:50,713 --> 01:08:54,547
...and screams for a moment
before vanishing.
762
01:09:18,741 --> 01:09:20,766
Oh, God.
763
01:09:20,943 --> 01:09:22,467
Jon?
764
01:09:23,513 --> 01:09:25,344
Is that you?
765
01:09:25,615 --> 01:09:28,743
Nations around the world
reeling from this morning's announcement...
766
01:09:28,918 --> 01:09:31,546
...possibly the most significant event
in recent history.
767
01:09:31,721 --> 01:09:35,680
We repeat, the superman exists,
and he is American.
768
01:09:42,164 --> 01:09:44,758
They call me Dr. Manhattan.
769
01:09:55,344 --> 01:09:57,278
They explain the name
has been chosen...
770
01:09:57,446 --> 01:10:01,678
...for the ominous associations
it will raise in America's enemies.
771
01:10:03,686 --> 01:10:06,712
They are shaping me
into something gaudy...
772
01:10:07,790 --> 01:10:09,917
...something lethal.
773
01:10:13,696 --> 01:10:16,221
In January, 1971...
774
01:10:16,399 --> 01:10:20,358
...President Nixon asks me to intervene
in Vietnam...
775
01:10:20,536 --> 01:10:23,869
...something that his predecessors
would not ask.
776
01:10:25,107 --> 01:10:27,940
A week later, the conflict ends.
777
01:10:28,110 --> 01:10:32,547
Some of the Vietcong forces
wanna surrender to me personally.
778
01:10:34,383 --> 01:10:37,978
Hollis Mason, a retired costume hero,
writes a book.
779
01:10:38,154 --> 01:10:42,215
In it, he calls my arrival
the dawn of the superhero.
780
01:10:57,907 --> 01:11:00,671
I am not sure if I know what that means.
781
01:11:00,843 --> 01:11:03,937
You see, at the time, I was misquoted.
782
01:11:04,213 --> 01:11:07,273
I never said, "The superman exists
and he is American".
783
01:11:07,450 --> 01:11:13,411
What I said was, "God exists,
and he is American".
784
01:11:13,923 --> 01:11:16,391
Now, if you begin to feel an intense...
785
01:11:16,559 --> 01:11:20,461
...and crushing feeling of religious terror
at the concept...
786
01:11:20,896 --> 01:11:22,921
...don't be alarmed.
787
01:11:23,566 --> 01:11:27,593
That indicates only
that you are still sane.
788
01:11:29,238 --> 01:11:31,798
It is Christmas, 1963.
789
01:11:32,708 --> 01:11:35,472
Janey tells me she is afraid, and worried.
790
01:11:37,213 --> 01:11:39,340
She says I am like a god now.
791
01:11:40,549 --> 01:11:42,779
I tell her I don't think there is a God...
792
01:11:43,619 --> 01:11:46,349
...and if there is, I'm nothing like him.
793
01:11:47,023 --> 01:11:49,457
I tell her I still want her...
794
01:11:50,226 --> 01:11:52,285
...and that I always will.
795
01:11:53,295 --> 01:11:57,959
As I lie to her, it is September 4th, 1970.
796
01:11:58,801 --> 01:12:02,362
I am in a room
full of people wearing disguises.
797
01:12:03,139 --> 01:12:08,133
A very young girl looks at me and smiles.
798
01:12:08,911 --> 01:12:10,902
She's beautiful.
799
01:12:11,814 --> 01:12:17,810
After each long kiss, she plants a smaller,
gentler one upon my lips...
800
01:12:17,987 --> 01:12:19,978
...like a signature.
801
01:12:21,323 --> 01:12:24,486
Janey accuses me of chasing jailbait.
802
01:12:24,994 --> 01:12:30,261
She bursts into angry tears,
asking if it's because she's getting older.
803
01:12:30,433 --> 01:12:32,264
It's true.
804
01:12:34,336 --> 01:12:37,362
She's aging more noticeably every day...
805
01:12:43,946 --> 01:12:46,779
...while I am standing still.
806
01:12:47,717 --> 01:12:50,379
I prefer the stillness here.
807
01:12:51,353 --> 01:12:53,446
I am tired of Earth.
808
01:12:53,622 --> 01:12:55,283
These people.
809
01:12:55,858 --> 01:12:59,555
I'm tired of being caught
in the tangle of their lives.
810
01:13:22,384 --> 01:13:25,717
They claim their labors
are to build a heaven...
811
01:13:26,288 --> 01:13:29,746
...yet their heaven is populated
with horrors.
812
01:13:30,226 --> 01:13:32,888
Perhaps the world is not made.
813
01:13:33,896 --> 01:13:35,887
Perhaps nothing is made.
814
01:13:36,732 --> 01:13:40,293
A clock without a craftsman.
815
01:13:41,237 --> 01:13:43,228
It's too late.
816
01:13:43,672 --> 01:13:45,572
Always has been...
817
01:13:46,208 --> 01:13:48,403
...always will be...
818
01:13:48,978 --> 01:13:50,605
...too late.
819
01:13:56,118 --> 01:13:57,813
Mr. President...
820
01:13:58,154 --> 01:14:02,591
...the Soviets have moved their tanks
to just short of the Afghan border.
821
01:14:03,259 --> 01:14:04,487
They are testing us...
822
01:14:04,660 --> 01:14:09,063
...to see if we manufactured
Dr. Manhattan's disappearance...
823
01:14:09,231 --> 01:14:11,961
...to coax a move out of them.
824
01:14:14,103 --> 01:14:17,470
How soon can we be ready
for a preemptive strike?
825
01:14:18,941 --> 01:14:19,965
Two days.
826
01:14:20,342 --> 01:14:24,039
We have a 54 percent chance
of wiping out the entire U.S.S.R...
827
01:14:24,213 --> 01:14:26,272
...before they get their missiles airborne.
828
01:14:26,849 --> 01:14:28,510
Assuming conservative projections...
829
01:14:28,684 --> 01:14:31,380
...of how many Soviet warheads
we destroy beforehand...
830
01:14:32,188 --> 01:14:34,019
...we'll lose all of the East Coast.
831
01:14:34,790 --> 01:14:36,314
The last gasp...
832
01:14:37,193 --> 01:14:39,661
...of the Harvard establishment.
833
01:14:40,095 --> 01:14:43,360
Let's see them think their way
out of fission.
834
01:14:43,532 --> 01:14:47,093
With anticipated wind patterns,
the fallout drift would head south.
835
01:14:47,269 --> 01:14:49,499
Mexico would catch the worst of it.
836
01:14:49,672 --> 01:14:51,731
Most of the farm belt
might remain unaffected.
837
01:14:51,907 --> 01:14:53,534
Not so bad...
838
01:14:54,143 --> 01:14:56,941
...all things considered.
839
01:14:59,748 --> 01:15:01,579
Mr. President...
840
01:15:01,750 --> 01:15:03,377
...what would you like to do?
841
01:15:11,727 --> 01:15:14,025
Take us to DEFCON two.
842
01:15:14,196 --> 01:15:16,187
Begin fueling the bombers.
843
01:15:16,799 --> 01:15:19,700
Dr. Manhattan has two days.
844
01:15:20,135 --> 01:15:21,932
After that...
845
01:15:22,104 --> 01:15:25,733
...humanity is in the hands
of a higher authority than mine.
846
01:15:26,342 --> 01:15:29,311
Let's just hope he's on our side.
847
01:15:30,546 --> 01:15:32,241
Without Dr. Manhattan around...
848
01:15:32,414 --> 01:15:35,315
...to bully the Russians into peace,
Mr. Veidt...
849
01:15:35,484 --> 01:15:39,887
...people are going to need good,
old-fashioned energy to rely on.
850
01:15:40,055 --> 01:15:41,716
You can understand.
851
01:15:41,891 --> 01:15:46,988
The world can't just quit on oil
and nuclear power cold turkey.
852
01:15:47,162 --> 01:15:49,392
You'll dismantle
our entire economy overnight.
853
01:15:49,565 --> 01:15:52,329
You're right, Lee. And why free energy?
854
01:15:52,501 --> 01:15:55,402
Well, "free" is just another word
for "socialist".
855
01:15:55,571 --> 01:15:57,539
We might have to
make a public inquiry...
856
01:15:57,706 --> 01:16:00,971
...into any past communist affiliations
you might have had.
857
01:16:01,377 --> 01:16:04,244
Mr. Lacocca, gentlemen...
858
01:16:05,414 --> 01:16:07,644
...I respect your position...
859
01:16:07,816 --> 01:16:11,718
...and what you've accomplished
as captains of industry. I do.
860
01:16:12,121 --> 01:16:14,612
You wanna know my past? Hm?
861
01:16:15,424 --> 01:16:18,154
Okay. Happily.
862
01:16:18,327 --> 01:16:21,785
It's a matter of public record that by 17,
both my parents were dead...
863
01:16:21,964 --> 01:16:23,795
...leaving me alone.
864
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,167
I guess you could say
I've always been alone.
865
01:16:28,337 --> 01:16:33,240
They say I'm the smartest man in the world,
but the truth is I've often felt stupid...
866
01:16:33,409 --> 01:16:36,901
...at being unable to relate to anyone.
867
01:16:37,079 --> 01:16:40,480
Well, anyone living, that is.
868
01:16:40,649 --> 01:16:42,617
The only person
with whom I felt kinship...
869
01:16:42,785 --> 01:16:45,913
...died 300 years
before the birth of Christ.
870
01:16:46,088 --> 01:16:51,458
Alexander of Macedonia,
or Alexander the Great, as you know him.
871
01:16:51,627 --> 01:16:54,653
His vision of a united world was...
872
01:16:57,967 --> 01:16:59,662
Well, it was unprecedented.
873
01:16:59,835 --> 01:17:01,530
I wanted...
874
01:17:01,704 --> 01:17:04,002
...needed to match
his accomplishments...
875
01:17:04,173 --> 01:17:07,370
...so I resolved to apply antiquity's
teachings to our world today.
876
01:17:07,543 --> 01:17:11,035
And so began my path to conquest.
877
01:17:11,213 --> 01:17:14,444
Conquest not of men...
878
01:17:14,616 --> 01:17:17,449
...but of the evils that beset them.
879
01:17:17,686 --> 01:17:22,589
Fossil fuels, oil, nuclear power...
880
01:17:22,758 --> 01:17:25,591
...are like a drug, and you,
along with foreign interests...
881
01:17:25,761 --> 01:17:27,388
- ...are the pushers.
- Now, listen.
882
01:17:27,963 --> 01:17:29,590
No.
883
01:17:31,934 --> 01:17:33,731
You listen.
884
01:17:34,966 --> 01:17:37,457
The world will survive...
885
01:17:37,668 --> 01:17:41,104
...and it deserves more
than you've been able to provide.
886
01:17:41,272 --> 01:17:43,866
So let's cut to it, shall we?
887
01:17:44,142 --> 01:17:46,610
I'm worth more
than all of your corporations combined.
888
01:17:46,777 --> 01:17:50,372
I could buy and sell you, something
you should factor into your decision...
889
01:17:50,548 --> 01:17:56,851
...should you choose
to make our disagreement public.
890
01:17:58,322 --> 01:18:00,756
I think you know the way out.
891
01:18:02,493 --> 01:18:04,222
Gentlemen.
892
01:18:06,731 --> 01:18:10,223
The toy people wanna talk to you about
new villains for the Ozymandias line.
893
01:18:10,401 --> 01:18:13,859
- Seems all the old villains are dead.
- Mr. Veidt?
894
01:18:14,038 --> 01:18:17,599
- I think I have some ideas.
- Mr. Veidt?
895
01:18:17,775 --> 01:18:20,573
I think we got off on the wrong foot.
896
01:18:57,215 --> 01:18:58,910
He's got a poison capsule.
897
01:18:59,584 --> 01:19:04,044
Don't bite down, you son of a bitch.
Who sent you? I want a name.
898
01:19:04,222 --> 01:19:05,314
Give me a name!
899
01:19:17,435 --> 01:19:18,732
Suicide pill.
900
01:19:19,837 --> 01:19:22,772
Potassium cyanide.
Guy was dead before he hit the ground.
901
01:19:22,940 --> 01:19:24,771
Thanks, hon.
902
01:19:25,276 --> 01:19:27,301
Then Rorschach was right.
903
01:19:27,478 --> 01:19:29,639
This wasn't some lone nut.
904
01:19:29,814 --> 01:19:33,944
It's an organization:
well-funded, well-equipped.
905
01:19:36,145 --> 01:19:38,079
But who'd wanna kill us now?
906
01:19:39,381 --> 01:19:42,509
I don't know, but it's not safe out here.
907
01:19:48,057 --> 01:19:50,025
So no word from Jon?
908
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:52,587
No.
909
01:19:52,962 --> 01:19:54,862
Well, listen...
910
01:19:55,364 --> 01:19:57,059
...why don't you come stay with me?
911
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:01,392
Oh, no.
That's sweet, but I wouldn't wanna impose.
912
01:20:01,871 --> 01:20:05,238
Oh, no. No.
Think of it as doing me a favor.
913
01:20:07,076 --> 01:20:09,408
I wouldn't have to worry about you
being out there.
914
01:20:12,815 --> 01:20:14,043
Okay.
915
01:20:17,119 --> 01:20:22,557
Rorschach's journal, October 21 st, 1985.
916
01:20:22,725 --> 01:20:26,821
On 43rd and 7th, saw Dreiberg
and Jupiter leaving diner.
917
01:20:27,496 --> 01:20:30,158
They didn't know me without my mask.
918
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:32,661
An affair?
919
01:20:32,835 --> 01:20:36,771
Did she break Manhattan's heart
to engineer his exile...
920
01:20:36,939 --> 01:20:38,873
...make room for Dreiberg?
921
01:20:39,675 --> 01:20:42,872
Does Manhattan even have a heart
to break?
922
01:20:47,349 --> 01:20:51,683
Veidt's assassin was a local lowlife
named Roy Chess.
923
01:20:52,254 --> 01:20:55,018
At his apartment, I found clues.
924
01:20:56,191 --> 01:20:59,922
Seems he worked
at Pyramid Transnational.
925
01:21:01,230 --> 01:21:02,527
I've seen the logo before...
926
01:21:03,799 --> 01:21:04,959
...at Moloch's.
927
01:21:09,204 --> 01:21:12,139
Someone tried to shoot
the world's smartest man today, Moloch.
928
01:21:12,975 --> 01:21:15,773
Guy worked for Pyramid Transnational.
929
01:21:15,945 --> 01:21:18,072
More than a just delivery service,
I take it.
930
01:21:18,247 --> 01:21:22,183
Last time I was here, I saw a pension check
written from the same company.
931
01:21:22,351 --> 01:21:25,843
I'm guessing it's a front set up
by whoever wants us masks dead.
932
01:21:26,021 --> 01:21:29,616
Now, no more lies, Moloch.
Who runs Pyramid?
933
01:21:34,496 --> 01:21:36,123
Rorschach.
934
01:21:36,298 --> 01:21:38,664
This is the police.
We know you're in there.
935
01:21:38,834 --> 01:21:40,699
No. No!
936
01:21:40,869 --> 01:21:43,997
If there's anybody in there with you,
send them out unharmed.
937
01:21:44,173 --> 01:21:47,108
No. No, no, no!
938
01:21:47,276 --> 01:21:51,679
Framed. Walked right into it.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
939
01:21:51,847 --> 01:21:53,474
Never, never surrender.
940
01:21:53,649 --> 01:21:56,641
All right.
I hope you're ready, hero.
941
01:21:56,819 --> 01:21:57,843
When you are.
942
01:22:20,542 --> 01:22:21,566
One...
943
01:22:26,582 --> 01:22:27,640
...two...
944
01:22:31,654 --> 01:22:32,712
...three.
945
01:23:24,707 --> 01:23:26,470
Come on.
946
01:23:37,286 --> 01:23:38,719
Son of a bitch.
947
01:23:39,688 --> 01:23:42,088
- Christ, he stinks.
- Get that mask off him.
948
01:23:42,257 --> 01:23:45,090
- I got it.
- No. No!
949
01:23:45,260 --> 01:23:47,956
My face! Give me back my face!
950
01:23:48,797 --> 01:23:51,425
The masked vigilante Rorschach
was apprehended...
951
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:55,434
...and identified
as Walter Kovacs, a 35-year-old white male.
952
01:23:55,604 --> 01:23:58,664
Little's known about Kovacs,
but he was charged with the murder...
953
01:23:58,841 --> 01:24:02,675
...of Edgar Jacobi, found shot in the head
in his home in the Bronx.
954
01:24:02,845 --> 01:24:05,871
Police officers were injured
and Jacobi's home was set ablaze...
955
01:24:06,048 --> 01:24:08,608
...during the violent course
of the capture.
956
01:24:12,421 --> 01:24:13,718
Rorschach!
957
01:24:13,889 --> 01:24:17,620
I'm gonna fuck you
like I fucked your mother!
958
01:24:24,266 --> 01:24:27,201
Come on out, Rorschach!
959
01:24:27,369 --> 01:24:29,599
Walter Kovacs.
960
01:24:29,772 --> 01:24:32,639
Is that your name? Walter?
961
01:24:32,808 --> 01:24:36,869
Well, let me explain
your situation here, Walter.
962
01:24:37,045 --> 01:24:38,603
You cooperate with me...
963
01:24:38,781 --> 01:24:43,275
...and I may be able to convince them
that you should be treated medically.
964
01:24:43,452 --> 01:24:47,013
In a hospital. I believe
that would be good for you.
965
01:24:47,189 --> 01:24:53,219
But the authorities wanna put you
with the general population.
966
01:24:54,096 --> 01:24:57,156
- Prison's a prison.
- Uh-huh. Yes.
967
01:24:57,766 --> 01:25:01,202
But the difference is, down there...
968
01:25:01,770 --> 01:25:03,135
...you'd be eaten alive.
969
01:25:04,106 --> 01:25:08,338
You're responsible for a lot of them
being in prison here, Walter.
970
01:25:11,413 --> 01:25:12,880
Tell me what you see.
971
01:25:18,053 --> 01:25:19,714
A pretty butterfly.
972
01:25:23,525 --> 01:25:25,356
What about now? What do you see here?
973
01:25:30,465 --> 01:25:31,523
Mom?
974
01:25:31,900 --> 01:25:33,265
Is he hurting you?
975
01:25:33,435 --> 01:25:36,302
You got a fucking kid in here.
I get that at home.
976
01:25:36,471 --> 01:25:39,998
Bastard.
I should have had that abortion.
977
01:25:49,651 --> 01:25:51,585
Some nice flowers.
978
01:25:57,292 --> 01:25:58,953
I heard this guy's mom's a whore.
979
01:26:01,263 --> 01:26:03,993
Did you catch any diseases from her?
980
01:26:04,166 --> 01:26:08,967
Huh? Whoreson. Listen to me, retard.
981
01:26:10,272 --> 01:26:13,503
Hey, you think she'd suck my dick
for a dollar?
982
01:26:32,127 --> 01:26:33,253
Clouds.
983
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:40,930
Tell me about Rorschach.
Will you do that, Walter?
984
01:26:41,103 --> 01:26:44,630
You keep calling me Walter.
I don't like you.
985
01:26:45,707 --> 01:26:49,905
You don't like me.
All right, why is that, exactly?
986
01:26:50,078 --> 01:26:51,443
You're fat.
987
01:26:52,047 --> 01:26:55,175
Wealthy. Liberal sensibilities.
988
01:26:55,550 --> 01:26:58,246
You wanna know about Rorschach?
989
01:26:59,721 --> 01:27:01,848
I'll tell you about Rorschach.
990
01:27:03,725 --> 01:27:06,159
I was investigating a kidnap case.
991
01:27:07,896 --> 01:27:09,761
Blaire Roche.
992
01:27:09,932 --> 01:27:13,368
Six-year-old girl. I was young then.
993
01:27:14,236 --> 01:27:16,568
Too soft on criminals.
994
01:27:17,506 --> 01:27:19,133
I let them live.
995
01:27:20,409 --> 01:27:26,143
Broke a man's arm to get a tip.
Led me to the missing girl's location.
996
01:27:33,755 --> 01:27:36,189
I knew the girl was here...
997
01:27:36,358 --> 01:27:39,885
...but when I searched the place,
I saw nothing.
998
01:27:40,762 --> 01:27:43,196
And then I found her.
999
01:28:34,816 --> 01:28:38,081
It was dark when the murderer got back.
1000
01:28:40,989 --> 01:28:43,253
As dark as it gets.
1001
01:29:10,352 --> 01:29:15,221
Oh, God.
Who's out there? Who is it?
1002
01:29:17,025 --> 01:29:18,151
Who is it?
1003
01:29:28,870 --> 01:29:32,306
What? What the fuck?
Who the fuck are you?
1004
01:29:32,474 --> 01:29:36,968
What the fuck do you want?
You killed my dogs, man!
1005
01:29:41,983 --> 01:29:46,511
You think I had something to do
with that girl? I found that.
1006
01:29:46,688 --> 01:29:49,156
What evidence have you got?
That's nothing.
1007
01:29:57,065 --> 01:29:59,863
Okay. I confess.
1008
01:30:01,069 --> 01:30:03,765
I kidnapped her. I killed her.
1009
01:30:04,539 --> 01:30:05,938
Arrest me.
1010
01:30:06,741 --> 01:30:08,470
What? Arrest me!
1011
01:30:10,078 --> 01:30:12,046
I did it! I said I did it!
1012
01:30:12,214 --> 01:30:13,647
Christ.
1013
01:30:13,815 --> 01:30:18,115
Look, I've got a problem, man.
Fucking take me in. I need help.
1014
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:25,655
No, don't. Don't do that.
Take me in. Don't! No!
1015
01:30:30,632 --> 01:30:34,124
Men get arrested.
1016
01:30:35,537 --> 01:30:37,562
Dogs get put down.
1017
01:30:42,377 --> 01:30:44,538
Tremors of impact shook my arm.
1018
01:30:45,947 --> 01:30:48,279
Warm blood splashed my face.
1019
01:30:49,518 --> 01:30:53,614
Whatever was left of Walter Kovacs
died that night with that little girl.
1020
01:30:54,623 --> 01:30:56,853
From then on, there was only Rorschach.
1021
01:30:58,393 --> 01:31:01,157
See, doctor,
God didn't kill that little girl.
1022
01:31:01,630 --> 01:31:05,794
Fate didn't butcher her
and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs.
1023
01:31:06,968 --> 01:31:10,404
If God saw what any of us did that night,
he didn't seem to mind.
1024
01:31:12,307 --> 01:31:14,138
From then on, I knew:
1025
01:31:15,477 --> 01:31:17,809
God doesn't make the world this way.
1026
01:31:19,814 --> 01:31:21,304
We do.
1027
01:31:21,983 --> 01:31:23,177
Hey, Rorschach.
1028
01:31:24,786 --> 01:31:26,777
Hey, you're pretty famous, right?
1029
01:31:27,522 --> 01:31:29,615
Rorschach, I heard your mother
was a whore.
1030
01:31:29,791 --> 01:31:33,352
Hey, you know what?
I'm pretty famous too.
1031
01:31:33,528 --> 01:31:36,053
- Ain't that right? That's right.
That's right.
1032
01:31:37,699 --> 01:31:40,930
Maybe I can give you an autograph.
What you say, big boy?
1033
01:31:56,151 --> 01:31:59,712
None of you seem to understand.
I'm not locked in here with you.
1034
01:31:59,888 --> 01:32:01,981
All right, that's it!
1035
01:32:02,824 --> 01:32:05,258
You're locked in here with me.
1036
01:33:07,122 --> 01:33:08,180
Laurie!
1037
01:33:09,391 --> 01:33:10,722
Shit.
1038
01:33:11,726 --> 01:33:13,626
Hold on.
- Fuck.
1039
01:33:16,898 --> 01:33:18,388
I got it, I got it, I got it.
1040
01:33:23,071 --> 01:33:26,472
I'm so sorry. I was snooping
and must have hit the wrong button.
1041
01:33:26,641 --> 01:33:28,074
- Are you hurt?
- No, no.
1042
01:33:28,243 --> 01:33:31,337
- Okay.
- I'm fine. I just feel so bad.
1043
01:33:31,513 --> 01:33:33,504
No, don't worry.
1044
01:33:33,682 --> 01:33:36,981
It's happened before.
Comedian did it back in '77.
1045
01:33:38,086 --> 01:33:39,917
Archie survived that.
1046
01:33:40,355 --> 01:33:41,686
Archie?
1047
01:33:42,424 --> 01:33:45,882
Oh. Well, uh, short for Archimedes...
1048
01:33:46,061 --> 01:33:47,585
...Merlin's pet owl.
1049
01:33:48,697 --> 01:33:50,358
Stupid nickname.
1050
01:33:51,433 --> 01:33:54,163
How did you ever afford
all this stuff, anyway?
1051
01:33:54,336 --> 01:33:59,865
Well, my dad was in corporate banking
and left me a lot of money when he died...
1052
01:34:00,608 --> 01:34:03,941
...which always surprised me.
I mean, he was...
1053
01:34:04,612 --> 01:34:07,240
I think he was disappointed
I went into crime fighting...
1054
01:34:07,415 --> 01:34:09,110
...instead of following him.
1055
01:34:09,884 --> 01:34:16,881
Guess I was just more interested in
birds and airplanes, mythology and...
1056
01:34:18,293 --> 01:34:20,955
Must be nice having a secret identity.
1057
01:34:21,629 --> 01:34:23,790
A secret place that nobody knows about.
1058
01:34:23,965 --> 01:34:28,959
You can just come down here and hang out
without anyone checking up on you.
1059
01:34:30,472 --> 01:34:32,804
Nobody watching you.
1060
01:34:36,144 --> 01:34:37,202
Wanna try those on?
1061
01:34:47,989 --> 01:34:49,650
There we go.
1062
01:34:52,827 --> 01:34:54,818
Wow, these rock.
1063
01:34:57,665 --> 01:34:59,963
They amplify the spectral range.
1064
01:35:00,135 --> 01:35:02,262
Thermal imaging.
1065
01:35:03,938 --> 01:35:05,929
They work even better in the dark.
1066
01:35:10,845 --> 01:35:12,608
You can see me, right?
1067
01:35:14,783 --> 01:35:17,445
I can see everything.
1068
01:35:20,188 --> 01:35:23,680
I remember, no matter how black it got...
1069
01:35:24,025 --> 01:35:28,155
...whenever I looked through those goggles,
everything was as clear as day.
1070
01:35:30,465 --> 01:35:32,797
This must be the way Jon sees the world.
1071
01:35:35,303 --> 01:35:38,136
We should probably head up.
Food's getting cold.
1072
01:35:38,373 --> 01:35:40,466
Put those away when you're done.
1073
01:35:49,184 --> 01:35:51,243
Soviets are
finding themselves bogged down...
1074
01:35:51,419 --> 01:35:53,148
...in bloody house-to-house fighting.
1075
01:35:53,321 --> 01:35:55,881
Casualties on both sides
are said to be in the hundreds.
1076
01:35:56,057 --> 01:35:59,117
Civilian deaths are also alarmingly high.
1077
01:35:59,294 --> 01:36:00,989
Dan.
1078
01:36:01,729 --> 01:36:03,458
Jon sees a lot of things...
1079
01:36:05,867 --> 01:36:08,165
...but he doesn't see me.
1080
01:36:15,310 --> 01:36:16,834
Well, uh...
1081
01:36:35,063 --> 01:36:36,621
Oh.
1082
01:37:10,465 --> 01:37:11,796
Sorry.
1083
01:37:13,801 --> 01:37:15,132
Come here.
1084
01:37:21,075 --> 01:37:22,337
What's the matter?
1085
01:37:22,510 --> 01:37:24,944
- If you could just move a little...
- Okay.
1086
01:37:25,113 --> 01:37:26,137
Yeah. There you go.
1087
01:37:26,314 --> 01:37:28,475
Soviet ambassador to the U.N.
had no comment...
1088
01:37:28,650 --> 01:37:30,914
...when asked if Dr. Manhattan's
disappearance...
1089
01:37:31,085 --> 01:37:33,679
...has fueled Soviet aggression
in Afghanistan.
1090
01:37:33,855 --> 01:37:36,483
Dan, what's wrong?
1091
01:37:38,159 --> 01:37:39,285
Sorry, I...
1092
01:37:41,429 --> 01:37:43,659
Yeah, I just need a couple minutes.
1093
01:37:45,833 --> 01:37:47,858
Oh, hell.
1094
01:37:49,671 --> 01:37:52,003
It's been a long time, Rorschach.
1095
01:37:52,674 --> 01:37:54,164
Big Figure.
1096
01:37:54,509 --> 01:37:56,340
Small world.
1097
01:37:57,679 --> 01:37:59,169
I like that.
1098
01:37:59,948 --> 01:38:02,348
But you know, it is a small world in here.
1099
01:38:02,784 --> 01:38:05,548
And I've been in it for,
how long now, Lloyd?
1100
01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:07,847
Almost 15 years, Mr. Figure.
1101
01:38:08,189 --> 01:38:09,520
That's right.
1102
01:38:10,525 --> 01:38:14,017
Fifteen years since you
and that Owl fella put me away.
1103
01:38:17,031 --> 01:38:18,191
So...
1104
01:38:18,700 --> 01:38:23,467
...Rorschach, that guy you burned is dying.
Could go any minute.
1105
01:38:23,638 --> 01:38:28,837
You know, by my count, there are more
than 50 people in here that you put away.
1106
01:38:29,010 --> 01:38:33,344
I been talking to every one of them
and they're all dying to get a piece of you.
1107
01:38:33,514 --> 01:38:36,813
This place is gonna explode!
1108
01:38:38,386 --> 01:38:41,048
Then, you die by inches.
1109
01:38:41,990 --> 01:38:43,651
Tall order.
1110
01:38:43,891 --> 01:38:46,382
I'm gonna tear this guy a new hole.
1111
01:38:47,061 --> 01:38:50,053
Relax, Lawrence. Soon.
1112
01:38:50,898 --> 01:38:52,229
Come on.
1113
01:40:13,648 --> 01:40:14,979
Dan?
1114
01:40:21,823 --> 01:40:23,484
Is everything all right?
1115
01:40:25,827 --> 01:40:28,762
I'm tired of being afraid.
1116
01:40:29,831 --> 01:40:32,197
Afraid of war...
1117
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:36,561
...afraid of the mask killer...
1118
01:40:38,172 --> 01:40:41,369
...and afraid of this goddamn suit...
1119
01:40:41,542 --> 01:40:43,510
...and how much I need it.
1120
01:40:44,345 --> 01:40:46,006
Me too.
1121
01:40:47,515 --> 01:40:48,812
So to hell with it.
1122
01:40:49,684 --> 01:40:51,015
Let's take Archie out.
1123
01:40:56,958 --> 01:40:58,084
You're serious.
1124
01:40:58,259 --> 01:41:00,784
I used to be a masked avenger too,
remember?
1125
01:41:00,962 --> 01:41:04,193
I'm used to going out at 3 in the morning
and doing something stupid.
1126
01:42:06,194 --> 01:42:08,025
Rapid burner. Be advised, all units.
1127
01:42:08,196 --> 01:42:10,756
Tenement fire at 5th and Grand.
Rapid burner.
1128
01:42:10,932 --> 01:42:12,263
Let's go.
1129
01:42:17,038 --> 01:42:19,404
I can see it.
All right, hold on.
1130
01:42:30,351 --> 01:42:31,682
Dan, there are kids in there.
1131
01:42:31,853 --> 01:42:34,014
Everyone, stay where you are
and remain calm.
1132
01:42:34,188 --> 01:42:36,383
We're gonna get you out of there.
1133
01:42:36,557 --> 01:42:38,718
The roof's starting to cave.
Get me in there.
1134
01:42:38,893 --> 01:42:40,360
I'm gonna get you close.
1135
01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:40,485
Let's go.
1136
01:43:40,655 --> 01:43:42,782
Watch your step.
All right.
1137
01:43:45,126 --> 01:43:46,150
We're all set.
1138
01:43:47,194 --> 01:43:48,855
Is that everyone?
1139
01:44:13,421 --> 01:44:15,719
Bye.
Bye!
1140
01:44:19,327 --> 01:44:20,885
I can't believe we did that.
1141
01:44:22,863 --> 01:44:25,331
- They'll lock us up with Rorschach.
- Who cares?
1142
01:44:25,499 --> 01:44:27,467
World War llI could start tomorrow.
1143
01:44:29,570 --> 01:44:30,901
Right?
1144
01:44:32,573 --> 01:44:33,904
Right.
1145
01:46:40,534 --> 01:46:42,434
Come back here!
1146
01:46:45,039 --> 01:46:46,734
He's dead, Rorschach.
1147
01:46:46,907 --> 01:46:51,105
While everyone's distracted, we thought
we'd bring you a housewarming gift.
1148
01:46:51,278 --> 01:46:53,439
Something from the machine shop.
1149
01:46:55,049 --> 01:46:56,676
Hey, boss, you notice?
1150
01:46:56,851 --> 01:46:59,877
None of that "small world,
tall order" crap.
1151
01:47:00,054 --> 01:47:03,285
He knows once we slice open his lock,
he's next on the block.
1152
01:47:03,724 --> 01:47:04,850
Fat chance.
1153
01:47:05,559 --> 01:47:06,685
You're dead, Rorschach!
1154
01:47:06,861 --> 01:47:10,524
We got a prison full of killers out here.
What do you got?
1155
01:47:13,467 --> 01:47:15,901
Your hands, my pleasure.
1156
01:47:17,905 --> 01:47:19,896
Can't reach the lock. Should I cut the bars?
1157
01:47:20,074 --> 01:47:23,373
This riot won't last.
I been waiting 15 years for this.
1158
01:47:24,512 --> 01:47:27,879
I'm sorry, Lawrence, but you're in the way
of my revenge.
1159
01:47:31,585 --> 01:47:33,314
Nothing personal, big guy.
1160
01:47:34,755 --> 01:47:36,746
Boss! Wait!
1161
01:47:50,037 --> 01:47:51,834
Now you find out what the score is.
1162
01:47:52,273 --> 01:47:55,401
One-nothing. Come and get me.
1163
01:48:01,448 --> 01:48:03,109
Come on.
1164
01:48:03,284 --> 01:48:04,911
So I've been thinking.
1165
01:48:05,786 --> 01:48:09,950
I feel that we have an obligation
to our fraternity.
1166
01:48:10,791 --> 01:48:13,851
- I think we ought to spring Rorschach.
What?
1167
01:48:14,028 --> 01:48:15,791
Someone set him up.
1168
01:48:16,630 --> 01:48:20,225
And this whole cancer thing with Jon,
it just doesn't make sense.
1169
01:48:20,401 --> 01:48:22,335
You didn't get it.
1170
01:48:22,636 --> 01:48:25,070
Yeah, but breaking
into a maximum-security prison...
1171
01:48:25,239 --> 01:48:28,902
- ...is a little different than putting
out a fire. - Yeah, you're right.
1172
01:48:29,810 --> 01:48:31,641
It'll be more fun.
1173
01:48:35,816 --> 01:48:38,808
Hurry, Lloyd. I wanna
smell this son of a bitch cooking.
1174
01:48:44,091 --> 01:48:45,820
Yes.
1175
01:48:50,564 --> 01:48:51,588
No.
1176
01:49:05,512 --> 01:49:10,347
Never disposed of sewage
with a toilet before. Obvious, really.
1177
01:49:11,185 --> 01:49:14,484
Two-nothing. Your move.
1178
01:49:17,491 --> 01:49:18,549
Get out of the way!
1179
01:49:52,221 --> 01:49:53,779
No. No.
1180
01:49:54,423 --> 01:49:55,822
Where's my face?
1181
01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:00,089
Don't kill me.
1182
01:50:03,766 --> 01:50:05,165
Your turn, doctor.
1183
01:50:05,334 --> 01:50:08,531
Tell me, what do you see?
1184
01:51:34,690 --> 01:51:36,419
Don't move!
1185
01:51:44,700 --> 01:51:46,463
Rorschach.
1186
01:51:46,969 --> 01:51:49,767
Daniel. Miss Jupiter.
1187
01:51:49,938 --> 01:51:53,339
Excuse me. Have to visit men's room.
1188
01:51:53,876 --> 01:51:55,844
Oh, for chrissake.
1189
01:52:56,672 --> 01:52:58,799
Are you all right?
1190
01:53:00,242 --> 01:53:02,437
Yeah. Just...
1191
01:53:02,878 --> 01:53:04,140
...heavy, you know?
1192
01:53:04,947 --> 01:53:07,040
War, jailbreak.
1193
01:53:07,583 --> 01:53:12,452
Don't worry about it. Okay?
Everything's gonna be fine.
1194
01:53:17,459 --> 01:53:20,485
- Hello, Laurie.
- Jon.
1195
01:53:20,662 --> 01:53:24,291
- TV said you were on Mars.
- I am on Mars.
1196
01:53:24,867 --> 01:53:27,267
You and I are about
to have a conversation there.
1197
01:53:27,436 --> 01:53:28,903
What are you talking about?
1198
01:53:29,071 --> 01:53:31,733
You're going to try to convince me
to save the world.
1199
01:53:37,646 --> 01:53:40,638
- Laurie, don't.
- Dan, trust me.
1200
01:53:40,816 --> 01:53:42,477
I have to go.
1201
01:53:48,156 --> 01:53:50,147
Beautiful, isn't it?
1202
01:53:54,997 --> 01:53:57,932
Forgive me. These things sometimes
slip my mind.
1203
01:53:59,334 --> 01:54:01,165
It won't happen again.
1204
01:54:02,838 --> 01:54:04,829
That's comforting.
1205
01:54:07,175 --> 01:54:08,836
Oh, my God.
1206
01:54:09,511 --> 01:54:11,342
I'm on Mars.
1207
01:54:12,848 --> 01:54:17,182
We need to hit up
underworld contacts, squeeze people.
1208
01:54:17,352 --> 01:54:20,082
Sure, why don't we just pick names
out of a phone book?
1209
01:54:20,255 --> 01:54:22,382
You forgot how we do things, Daniel.
1210
01:54:22,557 --> 01:54:27,017
You've gone too soft. Too trusting.
Especially with women.
1211
01:54:27,195 --> 01:54:29,288
Okay, no. Listen, I've had it with that.
1212
01:54:29,464 --> 01:54:31,489
God, who do you
think you are, Rorschach?
1213
01:54:31,667 --> 01:54:33,760
You live off people
while insulting them...
1214
01:54:33,936 --> 01:54:37,736
...and no one complains because they think
you're a goddamn lunatic.
1215
01:54:49,718 --> 01:54:51,549
I'm sorry.
1216
01:54:54,222 --> 01:54:56,383
I shouldn't have said that, man.
1217
01:54:58,393 --> 01:54:59,724
Daniel...
1218
01:55:01,229 --> 01:55:03,697
...you are a good friend.
1219
01:55:06,568 --> 01:55:09,731
I know it can be difficult
with me sometimes.
1220
01:55:16,244 --> 01:55:17,734
Forget it.
1221
01:55:18,914 --> 01:55:20,575
It's okay, man.
1222
01:55:21,850 --> 01:55:23,442
Let's do it your way.
1223
01:55:42,504 --> 01:55:43,801
Oh, God.
1224
01:55:43,972 --> 01:55:48,341
Pyramid Transnational.
Anyone heard of it?
1225
01:55:55,817 --> 01:55:57,307
Oh, you bastards.
1226
01:55:57,486 --> 01:56:00,580
I buy everyone a round
and you sell me out like this?
1227
01:56:01,790 --> 01:56:05,089
Back off, or I'll stick this glass
in your squidgy face.
1228
01:56:06,795 --> 01:56:09,730
Everybody stay calm.
We'll try to keep this brief.
1229
01:56:09,898 --> 01:56:12,196
Roy Chess. On Pyramid payroll.
1230
01:56:12,367 --> 01:56:16,861
Tried to kill Adrian Veidt. Dead now.
Did you know him?
1231
01:56:17,039 --> 01:56:18,734
No.
1232
01:56:20,075 --> 01:56:21,337
Yeah, yeah!
1233
01:56:21,510 --> 01:56:24,445
- I hired him. I knew him from the inside.
- You're a felon.
1234
01:56:24,613 --> 01:56:27,582
I was. I've been straight
ever since I got out, I swear.
1235
01:56:27,749 --> 01:56:31,480
I barely knew Chess that well,
but I was told to hire from the old life.
1236
01:56:31,653 --> 01:56:35,248
- Told by whom?
- My contact, Miss Slater.
1237
01:56:35,424 --> 01:56:38,018
Janey Slater works for Pyramid too?
1238
01:56:38,193 --> 01:56:42,152
Yeah, she was real nice. She said hiring
ex-cons was part of the company program.
1239
01:56:42,330 --> 01:56:46,027
Give people a second chance.
God, please let go! I'm telling the truth!
1240
01:56:50,172 --> 01:56:53,403
Janey Slater, Manhattan's old girlfriend.
1241
01:56:53,575 --> 01:56:56,271
Adrian might help us
find out who's underwriting Pyramid.
1242
01:56:56,445 --> 01:56:57,878
Follow the money.
1243
01:57:00,348 --> 01:57:03,511
This is where we hold our conversation.
1244
01:57:04,252 --> 01:57:09,315
In it, you ask me
to stop the imminent nuclear war.
1245
01:57:09,858 --> 01:57:12,520
But why would I save a world...
1246
01:57:12,694 --> 01:57:14,958
...I no longer have any stake in?
1247
01:57:17,065 --> 01:57:19,124
Then do it for me.
1248
01:57:20,001 --> 01:57:21,400
If you really care.
1249
01:57:21,570 --> 01:57:25,006
When you left me, I left Earth.
1250
01:57:25,173 --> 01:57:28,074
Does that not show you that I care?
1251
01:57:31,279 --> 01:57:34,214
My red world here, now...
1252
01:57:35,217 --> 01:57:38,118
...means more to me than your blue one.
1253
01:57:38,887 --> 01:57:40,616
Let me show you.
1254
01:57:58,740 --> 01:58:01,675
Bombers are fueled and ready, sir.
1255
01:58:11,019 --> 01:58:13,249
It's time, gentlemen.
1256
01:58:15,357 --> 01:58:17,757
Take us to DEFCON one.
1257
01:58:23,131 --> 01:58:26,225
Not in penthouse. Not in office.
1258
01:58:26,401 --> 01:58:29,302
What nocturnal proclivities
entice a man with everything...
1259
01:58:29,471 --> 01:58:31,234
...out into the night at this hour?
1260
01:58:31,406 --> 01:58:33,169
I'm gonna look for Adrian's itinerary.
1261
01:58:33,341 --> 01:58:36,105
Maybe he keeps on file.
1262
01:58:40,782 --> 01:58:43,250
- Something's not right.
- Agreed.
1263
01:58:43,418 --> 01:58:48,185
Janey Slater, Moloch, Roy Chess
all work for Pyramid.
1264
01:58:48,356 --> 01:58:52,986
Moloch said the Comedian mentioned list
with his and Slater's name on it.
1265
01:58:53,161 --> 01:58:56,460
Whoever owns Pyramid
could be giving these people cancer.
1266
01:58:56,631 --> 01:58:59,099
Setting Manhattan up.
1267
01:59:13,248 --> 01:59:14,408
Funny.
1268
01:59:14,583 --> 01:59:18,075
Ancient pharaohs looked forward
to the end of the world.
1269
01:59:18,253 --> 01:59:23,281
Believed cadavers would rise,
reclaim hearts from golden jars.
1270
01:59:23,925 --> 01:59:26,553
Must currently be holding breath
in anticipation.
1271
01:59:26,728 --> 01:59:27,956
Pharaohs?
1272
01:59:34,836 --> 01:59:36,861
Got a psych profile on Manhattan.
1273
01:59:37,505 --> 01:59:39,973
See what the corporate head-peepers say.
1274
01:59:42,010 --> 01:59:44,535
"Subject continues
to retreat emotionally.
1275
01:59:46,848 --> 01:59:49,908
If the only remaining ties
were to be severed...
1276
01:59:50,518 --> 01:59:54,477
...we predict total detachment
from the human condition".
1277
01:59:58,593 --> 02:00:00,356
I'm in.
1278
02:00:29,224 --> 02:00:30,555
No.
1279
02:00:32,727 --> 02:00:38,495
Congratulations, Mr. Veidt.
Dr. Manhattan's energy reactor is online.
1280
02:00:38,667 --> 02:00:42,535
Your support and your enthusiasm...
1281
02:00:42,704 --> 02:00:45,002
...is what has led to this triumph.
1282
02:00:45,173 --> 02:00:49,200
On behalf of the research team,
we salute you.
1283
02:00:49,377 --> 02:00:51,811
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
1284
02:00:52,580 --> 02:00:56,710
What in life
does not deserve celebrating?
1285
02:00:57,652 --> 02:01:01,748
This is the new Karnak.
1286
02:01:01,923 --> 02:01:05,518
This represents the culmination of a dream
more than 2000 years old...
1287
02:01:05,694 --> 02:01:11,963
...a dream now assured
because of your unquestioning assistance.
1288
02:01:14,102 --> 02:01:15,763
And for this...
1289
02:01:16,604 --> 02:01:18,936
...I am ashamed...
1290
02:01:20,108 --> 02:01:24,442
...ashamed that you must now share
such inadequate a reward.
1291
02:01:26,114 --> 02:01:28,105
To the pharaohs...
1292
02:01:29,050 --> 02:01:32,042
...their greatest secrets
entrusted to their servants...
1293
02:01:32,687 --> 02:01:37,021
...buried alive with them
in sand-floored chambers.
1294
02:01:37,892 --> 02:01:40,292
Sleep well, gentlemen.
1295
02:01:40,962 --> 02:01:44,295
Our new, peaceful world
will be indebted...
1296
02:01:44,632 --> 02:01:47,192
...to your great sacrifice.
1297
02:01:48,136 --> 02:01:50,331
Bubastis.
1298
02:01:54,509 --> 02:01:57,501
Rorschach's journal. Final entry.
1299
02:01:57,846 --> 02:02:00,337
Veidt's behind everything.
1300
02:02:00,515 --> 02:02:02,107
Why?
1301
02:02:02,283 --> 02:02:04,342
What's his endgame?
1302
02:02:04,519 --> 02:02:08,182
I cannot imagine
a more dangerous opponent.
1303
02:02:08,390 --> 02:02:11,826
Used to joke he was fast enough
to catch a bullet.
1304
02:02:11,993 --> 02:02:14,894
He could kill us both alone in the snow.
1305
02:02:15,063 --> 02:02:18,760
That's where we're going now:
Antarctica.
1306
02:02:18,933 --> 02:02:21,697
Whether I'm alive or dead
upon this reading...
1307
02:02:21,870 --> 02:02:26,136
...I hope the world survives long enough
for this journal to reach you.
1308
02:02:26,307 --> 02:02:28,867
I live my life free of compromise...
1309
02:02:29,043 --> 02:02:32,979
...and step into the shadow
without complaint or regret.
1310
02:02:33,615 --> 02:02:36,607
Rorschach, November 1 st.
1311
02:02:36,785 --> 02:02:40,312
Can't you just tell me how
this ends and save us the trouble?
1312
02:02:41,289 --> 02:02:43,189
It ends with you in tears.
1313
02:02:43,358 --> 02:02:46,953
Tears? So you don't come back to Earth.
1314
02:02:47,128 --> 02:02:50,564
At some point, yes.
1315
02:02:51,633 --> 02:02:54,568
The streets are filled with death.
1316
02:02:54,736 --> 02:02:56,795
Jon, please.
1317
02:02:56,971 --> 02:03:01,533
You have to stop this. Everyone will die.
1318
02:03:01,709 --> 02:03:06,043
And the universe will not even notice.
1319
02:03:08,483 --> 02:03:12,715
In my opinion, the existence of life...
1320
02:03:13,588 --> 02:03:16,580
...is a highly overrated phenomenon.
1321
02:03:18,493 --> 02:03:20,791
Just look around you.
1322
02:03:23,531 --> 02:03:27,865
Mars gets along perfectly well
without so much as a microorganism.
1323
02:03:28,503 --> 02:03:33,065
Here, it's a constantly changing
topographical map...
1324
02:03:33,241 --> 02:03:39,180
...flowing and shifting around the pole
in ripples 10,000 years wide.
1325
02:03:40,014 --> 02:03:41,504
So tell me...
1326
02:03:41,683 --> 02:03:46,052
...how would all of this be greatly improved
by an oil pipeline?
1327
02:03:46,521 --> 02:03:48,512
By a shopping mall?
1328
02:03:52,861 --> 02:03:57,161
So it's too much to ask for a miracle?
1329
02:03:57,332 --> 02:03:59,459
Miracles, by their definition,
are meaningless.
1330
02:03:59,634 --> 02:04:01,124
Oh, God, Jon!
1331
02:04:01,302 --> 02:04:06,365
- Only what can happen does happen.
- Just stop your bullshit.
1332
02:04:07,442 --> 02:04:09,967
Land this thing. Now.
1333
02:04:10,144 --> 02:04:12,704
As you wish.
1334
02:04:18,319 --> 02:04:19,377
You know what?
1335
02:04:19,554 --> 02:04:22,250
You can send me back to Earth
to fry with Dan and my mom...
1336
02:04:22,423 --> 02:04:24,789
...and all the other worthless humans.
1337
02:04:24,959 --> 02:04:28,395
But know that you were wrong.
You said this ended with me in tears...
1338
02:04:28,563 --> 02:04:32,727
...and look: nothing.
Maybe you were wrong about everything.
1339
02:04:32,901 --> 02:04:38,168
You complain that I refuse to see life
on life's terms...
1340
02:04:38,907 --> 02:04:42,673
...yet you continuously refuse
to see things from my perspective.
1341
02:04:42,844 --> 02:04:47,247
- You shut out what you're afraid of.
- I'm not afraid.
1342
02:04:47,415 --> 02:04:52,443
You want me to see things your way?
Go ahead, show me. Do that thing you do.
1343
02:04:59,594 --> 02:05:04,691
Magic. Dreams. That is what I had before.
I was a hero, goddamn it!
1344
02:05:04,866 --> 02:05:07,926
It's not my fault you got old.
What do you have to complain about?
1345
02:05:08,102 --> 02:05:10,229
I put food on the table
for you and your child.
1346
02:05:10,405 --> 02:05:13,203
Call your friend Eddie.
Maybe he can give you a better life.
1347
02:05:13,942 --> 02:05:16,638
Even the grimy parts of it...
1348
02:05:17,011 --> 02:05:19,241
...keep on getting brighter.
1349
02:05:19,581 --> 02:05:21,378
You're Sally Jupiter's kid.
1350
02:05:22,283 --> 02:05:24,080
You're the Comedian, right?
1351
02:05:24,852 --> 02:05:26,581
You were pretty cool in there.
1352
02:05:26,988 --> 02:05:30,583
You know, your mom, she was one
of the all-time champion beauties.
1353
02:05:30,758 --> 02:05:35,195
- You got her eyes, you know. You got-
- Take your hands off her.
1354
02:05:35,363 --> 02:05:37,490
Hey, doll. Long time no see.
1355
02:05:37,665 --> 02:05:40,429
Not long enough in my book, Eddie.
Get in the car.
1356
02:05:40,935 --> 02:05:42,800
Now.
1357
02:05:43,771 --> 02:05:45,762
Are there no depths you won't sink to?
1358
02:05:45,940 --> 02:05:49,774
Jesus Christ, Sally.
Can't a guy talk to his...
1359
02:05:50,478 --> 02:05:52,173
...you know, old friend's daughter?
1360
02:05:54,482 --> 02:05:55,813
Drive.
1361
02:06:01,823 --> 02:06:04,621
It was a mistake. One time.
1362
02:06:04,926 --> 02:06:08,089
Guy tries to rape you, and years later,
you let him finish the job?
1363
02:06:08,329 --> 02:06:11,025
What? Were you drunk or just lonely?
1364
02:06:11,199 --> 02:06:14,134
Am I ever gonna live this down?
1365
02:06:17,505 --> 02:06:18,631
Laurie.
1366
02:06:23,511 --> 02:06:24,842
No.
1367
02:06:26,848 --> 02:06:29,339
No, not him.
1368
02:06:29,517 --> 02:06:31,610
The Comedian...
1369
02:06:32,020 --> 02:06:34,113
...was your father.
1370
02:06:35,590 --> 02:06:37,285
No.
1371
02:06:40,595 --> 02:06:46,295
No! No! No!
1372
02:07:18,900 --> 02:07:20,891
My life is just...
1373
02:07:21,569 --> 02:07:23,696
...one big joke.
1374
02:07:23,871 --> 02:07:26,431
I don't think your life is a joke.
1375
02:07:28,076 --> 02:07:30,067
Yeah, well...
1376
02:07:31,913 --> 02:07:36,077
...I'm sorry if I don't
trust your sense of humor.
1377
02:07:44,258 --> 02:07:45,919
Will you smile...
1378
02:07:47,595 --> 02:07:50,063
...if I admit I was wrong?
1379
02:07:52,934 --> 02:07:54,925
About what?
1380
02:07:56,938 --> 02:07:58,428
Miracles.
1381
02:08:00,108 --> 02:08:03,271
Events with astronomical odds
of occurring...
1382
02:08:04,112 --> 02:08:06,603
...like oxygen turning into gold.
1383
02:08:06,781 --> 02:08:11,616
I've longed to witness such an event,
and yet I neglect...
1384
02:08:12,286 --> 02:08:14,652
...that in human coupling...
1385
02:08:15,456 --> 02:08:19,324
...millions upon millions of cells
compete to create life...
1386
02:08:19,794 --> 02:08:22,592
...for generation after generation...
1387
02:08:23,464 --> 02:08:26,524
...until finally, your mother...
1388
02:08:26,901 --> 02:08:28,095
...loves a man...
1389
02:08:28,736 --> 02:08:32,331
...Edward Blake, the Comedian,
a man she has every reason to hate...
1390
02:08:32,507 --> 02:08:36,500
...and out of that contradiction,
against unfathomable odds...
1391
02:08:37,178 --> 02:08:39,078
...it's you...
1392
02:08:40,815 --> 02:08:42,146
Only...
1393
02:08:42,817 --> 02:08:44,307
...you.
1394
02:08:45,153 --> 02:08:46,415
...that emerged.
1395
02:08:46,988 --> 02:08:51,482
To distill so specific a form...
1396
02:08:51,659 --> 02:08:53,923
...from all that chaos...
1397
02:08:55,830 --> 02:08:58,799
...is like turning air into gold.
1398
02:09:03,171 --> 02:09:05,162
A miracle.
1399
02:09:08,676 --> 02:09:10,166
And so...
1400
02:09:10,678 --> 02:09:12,509
...I was wrong.
1401
02:09:14,515 --> 02:09:18,349
Now dry your eyes, and let's go home.
1402
02:09:45,880 --> 02:09:49,907
We got a bearing on that artificial
structure. Heat signature's off the charts.
1403
02:09:50,885 --> 02:09:53,979
- Veidt.
- I don't like the way Archie's kicking.
1404
02:10:02,396 --> 02:10:05,229
- The engines.
- They're icing up. Hold onto something.
1405
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:08,025
Daniel, you're coming in too low.
1406
02:10:10,905 --> 02:10:14,068
Don't wish to interfere,
but perhaps should pull up sharply...
1407
02:10:14,242 --> 02:10:18,178
I know! I'm trying.
I'm trying to pull him up, goddamn it!
1408
02:10:45,439 --> 02:10:49,068
I'm gonna redirect the heat from
the flamethrower to speed up deicing...
1409
02:10:49,243 --> 02:10:52,110
...but it's gonna take a while
and we don't have time to wait.
1410
02:10:53,614 --> 02:10:55,081
You need something warmer.
1411
02:10:55,616 --> 02:10:57,777
Fine like this.
1412
02:11:27,281 --> 02:11:29,146
What is it, girl?
1413
02:11:31,452 --> 02:11:33,147
Mm.
1414
02:11:58,746 --> 02:12:01,010
Adrian's a pacifist.
1415
02:12:01,215 --> 02:12:05,845
He's a vegetarian, for chrissakes.
He's never killed anyone in his life.
1416
02:12:06,020 --> 02:12:07,419
Hitler was vegetarian.
1417
02:12:07,588 --> 02:12:12,116
You're squeamish, leave him to me.
We won't get second chance.
1418
02:13:23,364 --> 02:13:24,695
Gentlemen.
1419
02:13:25,199 --> 02:13:29,135
- Welcome.
- Adrian, we know everything.
1420
02:13:29,303 --> 02:13:31,066
Then what's there to discuss, Dan?
1421
02:13:31,238 --> 02:13:34,230
Plenty. You killed Comedian.
1422
02:13:34,408 --> 02:13:35,932
May he rest in peace.
1423
02:13:36,444 --> 02:13:39,038
Blake figured it out first.
1424
02:13:39,213 --> 02:13:43,274
Nixon had him keeping tabs on us,
making sure we weren't rocking the boat.
1425
02:13:44,218 --> 02:13:46,482
Blake found out what I was doing
here in Karnak...
1426
02:13:46,654 --> 02:13:50,715
...and by the time he visited poor Moloch,
he was cracking badly.
1427
02:13:50,891 --> 02:13:54,156
Even I couldn't predict he'd be the one
to have a change of heart.
1428
02:13:54,895 --> 02:13:56,419
So...
1429
02:13:57,465 --> 02:13:59,399
...I had to kill him.
1430
02:13:59,967 --> 02:14:03,733
Then I neutralized Jon. No easy task.
1431
02:14:03,904 --> 02:14:06,372
I put roughly $2 billion
into tachyon research...
1432
02:14:06,540 --> 02:14:08,565
...to block Jon's vision of the future.
1433
02:14:08,742 --> 02:14:11,006
You used his psych profile
to manipulate him.
1434
02:14:11,512 --> 02:14:12,979
Got him to leave the planet.
1435
02:14:13,147 --> 02:14:16,548
I've known Jon long enough
to see he isn't devoid of emotion.
1436
02:14:16,717 --> 02:14:20,619
His subtle facial twitches wouldn't be
noticed by the layman, but to me...
1437
02:14:20,788 --> 02:14:22,619
...he might as well have been sobbing.
1438
02:14:22,990 --> 02:14:26,118
All I needed to do was tug on the thread.
1439
02:14:26,293 --> 02:14:28,193
The sudden flood of emotion Jon felt...
1440
02:14:28,362 --> 02:14:31,957
...when he came to believe
he'd given cancer to the people he loved...
1441
02:14:32,133 --> 02:14:34,260
...was all the excuse he needed
to leave Earth.
1442
02:14:34,435 --> 02:14:38,269
Your bullshit assassin.
You paid him to throw us off.
1443
02:14:38,439 --> 02:14:43,103
Mr. Chess gave his life
in the service of a higher cause, Dan.
1444
02:14:45,246 --> 02:14:48,340
I put a cyanide capsule in his mouth...
1445
02:14:48,516 --> 02:14:51,110
...leaving only one loose end:
1446
02:14:51,719 --> 02:14:55,155
You, and your mask-killer theory...
1447
02:14:55,322 --> 02:14:58,450
...one you followed
with the tenacity of a true sociopath.
1448
02:14:58,626 --> 02:15:00,321
I tipped off the police.
1449
02:15:00,494 --> 02:15:02,894
Once you were in prison,
I was able to move forward.
1450
02:15:03,063 --> 02:15:05,691
Sorry to disappoint you.
1451
02:15:18,879 --> 02:15:21,347
We were supposed to make the world
a better place.
1452
02:15:21,515 --> 02:15:23,244
Dan, that's exactly what I am doing.
1453
02:15:23,417 --> 02:15:24,748
Nuclear war?
1454
02:15:24,919 --> 02:15:27,080
Human extinction?
1455
02:15:36,730 --> 02:15:41,633
Of course, my moral safeguards
gave me pause at the necessary sacrifice.
1456
02:15:41,802 --> 02:15:44,771
A few key regions around the globe...
1457
02:15:44,939 --> 02:15:50,400
New York, Los Angeles, Moscow,
Hong Kong.
1458
02:15:50,578 --> 02:15:52,239
...disintegrated in an instant.
1459
02:15:52,980 --> 02:15:56,313
Fifteen million people killed...
1460
02:15:56,483 --> 02:15:58,542
...by Dr. Manhattan himself.
1461
02:15:59,753 --> 02:16:02,551
The world's punishment
for flirting with World War III.
1462
02:16:02,723 --> 02:16:03,849
Jon wouldn't do that.
1463
02:16:04,425 --> 02:16:07,121
A fact no one outside this room
ever has to know.
1464
02:16:07,761 --> 02:16:11,561
The energy breakthrough I was working on
just came to fruition.
1465
02:16:12,166 --> 02:16:16,159
All these years, Jon was helping me
replicate his power...
1466
02:16:16,337 --> 02:16:18,862
...unaware of how I planned to use it.
1467
02:16:19,039 --> 02:16:21,030
You see...
1468
02:16:21,942 --> 02:16:24,342
...the Comedian was right.
1469
02:16:25,045 --> 02:16:30,039
Humanity's savage nature
will inevitably lead to global annihilation.
1470
02:16:30,217 --> 02:16:33,015
So in order to save this planet...
1471
02:16:33,287 --> 02:16:35,346
...I had to trick it...
1472
02:16:35,723 --> 02:16:39,750
...with the greatest practical joke
in human history.
1473
02:16:40,027 --> 02:16:43,428
- Killing millions.
- To save billions.
1474
02:16:43,964 --> 02:16:45,932
A necessary crime.
1475
02:16:46,100 --> 02:16:48,261
You know we can't let you do that.
1476
02:16:49,703 --> 02:16:51,830
"Do that," Rorschach?
1477
02:16:52,006 --> 02:16:53,633
I'm not a comic-book villain.
1478
02:16:54,475 --> 02:16:56,739
Do you think
I'd explain my masterstroke to you...
1479
02:16:56,910 --> 02:17:01,074
...if there were even the slightest
possibility you could affect the outcome?
1480
02:17:03,817 --> 02:17:06,615
I triggered it 35 minutes ago.
1481
02:18:46,086 --> 02:18:49,078
Jesus Christ, Henry.
1482
02:18:49,256 --> 02:18:51,451
Why the hell
didn't we get a launch detection?
1483
02:18:53,360 --> 02:18:57,797
It's not the Soviets, sir.
1484
02:18:58,365 --> 02:19:01,528
Intel indicates the energy signature...
1485
02:19:01,702 --> 02:19:04,136
...was generated by...
1486
02:19:05,105 --> 02:19:07,539
...Dr. Manhattan.
1487
02:19:10,377 --> 02:19:11,935
Jon.
1488
02:19:14,948 --> 02:19:16,074
Interference.
1489
02:19:16,683 --> 02:19:18,583
Cataclysmic interference.
1490
02:19:28,295 --> 02:19:31,059
I can't believe it happened.
1491
02:19:32,065 --> 02:19:35,557
This wasn't caused by nuclear warheads.
1492
02:19:39,640 --> 02:19:40,937
It was me.
1493
02:19:42,976 --> 02:19:44,568
I...
1494
02:19:45,145 --> 02:19:46,169
...did this.
1495
02:19:46,814 --> 02:19:50,272
- What do you mean, you did this?
- Not directly.
1496
02:19:51,251 --> 02:19:53,947
It was made to look like I did it.
1497
02:19:56,990 --> 02:19:58,423
Adrian.
1498
02:20:04,698 --> 02:20:06,689
Speak of the devil.
1499
02:20:09,837 --> 02:20:10,861
Jon-
I know.
1500
02:20:11,038 --> 02:20:13,199
Must stop him.
Killed Blake, killed millions.
1501
02:20:13,373 --> 02:20:14,704
Wait here.
1502
02:20:25,853 --> 02:20:28,219
Adrian, stop this.
1503
02:20:29,690 --> 02:20:31,555
The tachyons were clever...
1504
02:20:32,693 --> 02:20:37,027
...but even if I can't predict where
you are, I can turn the walls to glass.
1505
02:20:38,365 --> 02:20:40,833
I should thank you.
1506
02:20:42,002 --> 02:20:45,199
I'd almost forgotten the excitement
of not knowing...
1507
02:20:46,206 --> 02:20:49,198
...the delights of uncertainty.
1508
02:20:53,380 --> 02:20:55,041
Forgive me, girl.
1509
02:21:18,005 --> 02:21:19,700
You're such an asshole.
1510
02:21:53,640 --> 02:21:55,574
Veidt, you bastard.
1511
02:21:55,742 --> 02:21:58,210
- If you've hurt her, I'Il-
- Dan...
1512
02:21:59,947 --> 02:22:04,543
...grow up. My new world
demands less obvious heroism.
1513
02:22:04,718 --> 02:22:06,709
Your...
1514
02:22:06,887 --> 02:22:11,847
...schoolboy heroics are redundant.
What have they achieved?
1515
02:22:13,460 --> 02:22:16,327
Failing to prevent Earth's salvation...
1516
02:22:17,297 --> 02:22:19,697
...is your only triumph.
1517
02:22:19,900 --> 02:22:21,800
I'm disappointed in you, Adrian.
1518
02:22:22,603 --> 02:22:26,095
I'm very disappointed.
1519
02:22:38,485 --> 02:22:41,648
Reassembling myself
was the first trick I learned.
1520
02:22:42,322 --> 02:22:44,722
It didn't kill Osterman.
1521
02:22:47,327 --> 02:22:49,693
Did you really think it would kill me?
1522
02:22:50,998 --> 02:22:54,161
I have walked across the surface
of the sun.
1523
02:22:54,668 --> 02:22:57,831
I have witnessed events
so tiny and so fast...
1524
02:22:58,005 --> 02:23:01,065
...they can hardly be said
to have occurred at all...
1525
02:23:01,241 --> 02:23:04,870
...but you, Adrian, you're just a man.
1526
02:23:06,013 --> 02:23:08,504
The world's smartest man...
1527
02:23:08,682 --> 02:23:11,242
...poses no more threat to me...
1528
02:23:11,418 --> 02:23:14,546
...than does its smartest termite.
1529
02:23:16,823 --> 02:23:18,290
What's that?
1530
02:23:18,692 --> 02:23:20,557
Another ultimate weapon?
1531
02:23:21,194 --> 02:23:22,923
Yes.
1532
02:23:24,531 --> 02:23:25,998
You could say that.
1533
02:23:29,536 --> 02:23:31,470
...came under attack.
1534
02:23:32,305 --> 02:23:35,638
Millions of lives were suddenly ended...
1535
02:23:35,976 --> 02:23:41,175
...in an act of evil
perpetrated by Dr. Manhattan himself.
1536
02:23:42,983 --> 02:23:46,919
Since the attacks,
I have been in constant contact...
1537
02:23:47,087 --> 02:23:50,079
...with the premier of the U.S.S.R.
1538
02:23:50,490 --> 02:23:53,323
Putting aside our past differences...
1539
02:23:53,660 --> 02:23:55,821
...we have both pledged to unite...
1540
02:23:56,163 --> 02:23:59,496
...against this common enemy.
1541
02:24:00,000 --> 02:24:01,991
With the rest of the world...
1542
02:24:02,436 --> 02:24:04,461
...we will prevail.
1543
02:24:07,007 --> 02:24:09,999
This is a day we shall never forget.
1544
02:24:10,177 --> 02:24:14,375
And yet we go forward
to defend the human race...
1545
02:24:14,548 --> 02:24:19,178
...and all that is good
and just in our world.
1546
02:24:20,520 --> 02:24:24,752
Thank you. God bless us all.
1547
02:24:25,125 --> 02:24:26,922
Do you see?
1548
02:24:29,129 --> 02:24:31,597
Two superpowers retreating from war.
1549
02:24:33,200 --> 02:24:35,634
I've saved the earth from hell.
1550
02:24:35,802 --> 02:24:37,770
We both have.
1551
02:24:38,238 --> 02:24:40,433
This is as much your victory as it is mine.
1552
02:24:45,245 --> 02:24:46,735
Now we can return...
1553
02:24:48,181 --> 02:24:49,739
...do what we were meant to.
1554
02:24:49,916 --> 02:24:52,885
We were meant to exact justice.
1555
02:24:53,220 --> 02:24:56,553
- Everyone's gonna know what you've done.
- Will they?
1556
02:24:56,723 --> 02:25:01,524
By exposing me, you would sacrifice
the peace so many died for today.
1557
02:25:01,695 --> 02:25:05,131
- Peace based on a lie.
- But peace...
1558
02:25:05,298 --> 02:25:07,493
- ...nonetheless.
- He's right.
1559
02:25:08,068 --> 02:25:12,027
Exposing Adrian would only doom the world
to nuclear destruction again.
1560
02:25:12,205 --> 02:25:15,072
No. We can't do this.
1561
02:25:15,242 --> 02:25:17,005
On Mars...
1562
02:25:18,512 --> 02:25:20,343
...you taught me the value of life.
1563
02:25:21,314 --> 02:25:23,748
If we hope to preserve it here...
1564
02:25:24,551 --> 02:25:26,576
...we must remain silent.
1565
02:25:30,423 --> 02:25:32,357
Keep your own secrets.
1566
02:25:39,232 --> 02:25:40,426
Don't even think about it.
1567
02:25:43,036 --> 02:25:44,765
Rorschach.
1568
02:25:46,540 --> 02:25:48,064
Wait.
1569
02:25:49,109 --> 02:25:51,202
Never compromise.
1570
02:25:51,578 --> 02:25:54,445
Not even in the face of armageddon.
1571
02:25:54,848 --> 02:25:57,840
That's always been the difference
between us, Daniel.
1572
02:26:08,895 --> 02:26:12,422
I've made myself feel every death...
1573
02:26:13,900 --> 02:26:19,805
...see every innocent face
I've murdered to save humanity.
1574
02:26:25,378 --> 02:26:29,075
- You understand, don't you?
Without condoning...
1575
02:26:30,750 --> 02:26:32,650
...or condemning...
1576
02:26:37,057 --> 02:26:38,991
...I understand.
1577
02:26:46,399 --> 02:26:49,527
Out of my way. People have to be told.
1578
02:26:50,403 --> 02:26:52,337
You know I can't let you do that.
1579
02:26:53,573 --> 02:26:56,565
Suddenly you discover humanity?
1580
02:26:58,011 --> 02:26:59,842
Convenient.
1581
02:27:08,555 --> 02:27:13,117
If you'd cared from the start,
none of this would have happened.
1582
02:27:16,897 --> 02:27:19,866
I can change almost anything...
1583
02:27:24,437 --> 02:27:26,769
...but I can't change human nature.
1584
02:27:28,108 --> 02:27:31,509
Of course
you must protect Veidt's new utopia.
1585
02:27:32,779 --> 02:27:36,112
What's one more body
amongst foundations?
1586
02:27:42,289 --> 02:27:44,154
Well, what are you waiting for?
1587
02:27:47,627 --> 02:27:49,458
Do it.
1588
02:27:55,568 --> 02:27:56,592
Do it!
1589
02:27:59,306 --> 02:28:02,673
No!
1590
02:28:20,160 --> 02:28:25,928
I'm leaving this galaxy
for one a little less complicated.
1591
02:28:26,099 --> 02:28:28,590
I thought you said you cared
about life again.
1592
02:28:28,768 --> 02:28:30,167
I do.
1593
02:28:31,504 --> 02:28:34,405
I think maybe I'll create some.
1594
02:28:38,511 --> 02:28:40,843
Goodbye, Laurie.
1595
02:29:16,082 --> 02:29:17,242
Come on.
1596
02:29:19,719 --> 02:29:21,311
Come on!
1597
02:29:25,725 --> 02:29:27,056
Dan...
1598
02:29:27,527 --> 02:29:30,291
...a world united and at peace.
1599
02:29:31,164 --> 02:29:32,358
There had to be sacrifice.
1600
02:29:32,532 --> 02:29:36,901
No! You haven't idealized mankind,
you've deformed it.
1601
02:29:37,070 --> 02:29:38,833
You've mutilated it.
1602
02:29:39,205 --> 02:29:41,366
That's your legacy.
1603
02:29:49,916 --> 02:29:52,714
That's the real practical joke.
1604
02:30:45,305 --> 02:30:49,298
We repeat, there is
nothing wrong with your television set.
1605
02:30:49,476 --> 02:30:52,934
You are about to participate
in a great adventure.
1606
02:30:53,113 --> 02:30:56,276
You are about to experience
the awe and mystery...
1607
02:30:56,449 --> 02:31:02,251
...which reaches from the inner mind
to the outer limits.
1608
02:31:03,456 --> 02:31:05,651
Sure you don't want a drink?
1609
02:31:06,659 --> 02:31:07,683
I'm okay.
1610
02:31:08,761 --> 02:31:09,989
Cheers.
1611
02:31:11,431 --> 02:31:14,559
There's something I need
to get off my chest.
1612
02:31:15,835 --> 02:31:18,326
I know that Eddie Blake was my father.
1613
02:31:21,341 --> 02:31:23,104
Laurel.
1614
02:31:24,110 --> 02:31:26,442
What you must think of me.
1615
02:31:27,280 --> 02:31:29,805
I'm sorry I never told you.
1616
02:31:29,983 --> 02:31:31,780
I should have...
1617
02:31:31,951 --> 02:31:36,081
...but I don't know, I just felt ashamed.
I felt stupid.
1618
02:31:36,256 --> 02:31:38,190
It doesn't matter.
1619
02:31:39,025 --> 02:31:44,292
People's lives take them strange places.
They do strange things...
1620
02:31:44,864 --> 02:31:47,799
...and, well,
sometimes they can't talk about them.
1621
02:31:47,967 --> 02:31:50,299
I know how that is...
1622
02:31:51,037 --> 02:31:53,631
...but I just want you to know...
1623
02:31:54,207 --> 02:31:57,040
...that you never did anything wrong
by me.
1624
02:32:01,214 --> 02:32:05,480
You asked me why I wasn't mad at him.
1625
02:32:07,053 --> 02:32:09,544
Because he gave me you.
1626
02:32:14,561 --> 02:32:15,653
Thanks, Mom.
1627
02:32:18,398 --> 02:32:20,195
I love you.
1628
02:32:27,740 --> 02:32:31,938
- Hello, Miss Jupiter.
- Oh, Sally, please.
1629
02:32:33,580 --> 02:32:38,176
Excuse me. Gotta go freshen up.
I'll be right back.
1630
02:32:48,695 --> 02:32:52,859
- So how's it going up here?
- Good. How's it going down there?
1631
02:32:53,032 --> 02:32:56,524
Good. I think I've got everything working.
1632
02:32:56,703 --> 02:33:01,333
All of Archie's systems are upgraded.
Finished the tinkering for now...
1633
02:33:01,507 --> 02:33:03,737
...so all we gotta do is take her out.
1634
02:33:03,910 --> 02:33:06,970
Well, that sounds like a date.
1635
02:33:18,291 --> 02:33:20,555
Are we gonna be all right?
1636
02:33:22,629 --> 02:33:26,929
Long as people think Jon's
still watching us, we'll be all right...
1637
02:33:27,133 --> 02:33:28,998
...in the end.
1638
02:33:30,637 --> 02:33:32,798
I know what Jon would say:
1639
02:33:32,972 --> 02:33:34,997
Nothing ends.
1640
02:33:36,909 --> 02:33:39,503
Nothing ever ends.
1641
02:34:26,859 --> 02:34:30,625
Seymour, we got nothing
to write about anymore.
1642
02:34:30,797 --> 02:34:32,162
Everyone in the country...
1643
02:34:32,332 --> 02:34:34,596
...every country in the world
are holding hands...
1644
02:34:34,767 --> 02:34:38,032
...and singing songs
about peace and love.
1645
02:34:38,538 --> 02:34:41,405
It's like living in a goddamn
global hippie commune.
1646
02:34:41,574 --> 02:34:45,510
Well, Ronald Reagan says he's gonna
be running for president in '88.
1647
02:34:45,678 --> 02:34:47,509
We could run a piece on that.
1648
02:34:47,680 --> 02:34:50,843
Seymour, we don't dignify absurdities
with coverage.
1649
02:34:51,017 --> 02:34:54,851
This is still America, damn it.
Who wants a cowboy in the White House?
1650
02:34:55,588 --> 02:34:59,820
Okay. I could look for something
in the crank file.
1651
02:34:59,992 --> 02:35:01,584
Crank file.
1652
02:35:01,761 --> 02:35:03,752
Whatever. Take some initiative.
1653
02:35:03,930 --> 02:35:06,558
Run whatever you like.
I leave it entirely in your hands.
1654
02:35:13,072 --> 02:35:17,771
Rorschach's journal, October 12th, 1985.
1655
02:35:17,944 --> 02:35:22,404
Tonight, a comedian died in New York.
