0
00:00:23,556 --> 00:00:25,251
Wrong, as usual.
1
00:00:25,458 --> 00:00:28,552
The United States' lack of action
in Eastern Europe...
2
00:00:28,762 --> 00:00:33,165
...proves that the Soviet Union's aggression
at the Afghan border...
3
00:00:33,366 --> 00:00:36,494
...will not be opposed publicly
by the United States.
4
00:00:38,571 --> 00:00:43,873
lssue: The Soviet Union continued
its recent series of military exercises...
5
00:00:44,077 --> 00:00:47,274
...conducting a bomb test today
in the Bering Sea...
6
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:51,416
...just 1 500 miles
off the southern coast of Alaska.
7
00:00:51,584 --> 00:00:55,987
President Richard Nixon
issued this warning to the Soviets:
8
00:00:56,122 --> 00:00:59,580
The United States does not start fights.
9
00:00:59,793 --> 00:01:03,422
Let it be clear we maintain our strength...
10
00:01:03,563 --> 00:01:06,361
...in order to maintain peace...
11
00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:10,264
...so any adversary
should ask themselves:
12
00:01:10,437 --> 00:01:13,531
''Do the consequences
of attacking America...
13
00:01:13,673 --> 00:01:16,335
...outweigh the potential benefits?''
14
00:01:16,476 --> 00:01:19,138
As a result of the Soviet activity...
15
00:01:19,279 --> 00:01:22,077
...the watchdog group
of nuclear scientists...
16
00:01:22,282 --> 00:01:27,686
...moved the Doomsday Clock
up to five minutes until midnight:
17
00:01:27,854 --> 00:01:32,154
destruction by nuclear war.
18
00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:34,554
Question:
19
00:01:34,861 --> 00:01:37,352
on a scale of zero to 1 0,
zero meaning impossibility...
20
00:01:37,564 --> 00:01:39,862
...1 0 meaning
complete metaphysical certitude...
21
00:01:40,066 --> 00:01:44,560
...what are the chances the Russians
will actually attack the United States?
22
00:01:44,704 --> 00:01:46,001
Pat Buchanan.
23
00:01:46,172 --> 00:01:47,503
Zero.
24
00:01:47,674 --> 00:01:50,302
The Soviets
would never risk going to war...
25
00:01:50,477 --> 00:01:54,311
...when we have a walking nuclear deterrent
on our side.
26
00:01:54,481 --> 00:01:56,972
You're referring, of course,
to Dr. Manhattan...
27
00:01:57,183 --> 00:02:01,142
...but does Dr. Manhattan's existence
guarantee world peace? Eleanor Clift.
28
00:02:01,354 --> 00:02:04,118
Well, it hasn't
stopped the Soviet Union...
29
00:02:04,257 --> 00:02:08,921
...from stockpiling record amounts
of nuclear weapons.
30
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:10,824
You don't think it's just posturing?
31
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:12,556
Maybe the reason
why the Soviets...
32
00:02:12,732 --> 00:02:15,257
...are doing these bomb tests...
33
00:02:15,435 --> 00:02:19,838
...is because they feel threatened
by Dr. Manhattan. of course.
34
00:02:20,373 --> 00:02:23,536
Maybe the whole world feels like that.
35
00:02:25,545 --> 00:02:27,979
Soviet ships have violated
the territorial waters-
36
00:03:04,817 --> 00:03:07,012
Just a matter of time, l suppose.
37
00:04:37,677 --> 00:04:41,340
lt's a joke. lt's all a joke.
38
00:04:41,981 --> 00:04:44,245
Mother, forgive me.
39
00:08:45,024 --> 00:08:47,993
l was a hero, goddamn it!
40
00:08:49,428 --> 00:08:53,558
...an act clearly meant to send
a signal to the government in Saigon...
41
00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:58,067
...that violence and oppression
is not the way to peace.
42
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:37,899
Fuck you, pigs!
43
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,168
Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.
44
00:10:57,123 --> 00:11:00,183
Get out of here, vigilantes!
45
00:11:07,833 --> 00:11:10,028
No!
46
00:11:36,996 --> 00:11:43,162
Edward Blake. Sixty-seven
years old. Six-two, a solid 225.
47
00:11:43,669 --> 00:11:45,500
Guy was built like a linebacker.
48
00:11:45,671 --> 00:11:47,571
Yeah, l saw the body.
49
00:11:47,773 --> 00:11:49,798
For a guy his age,
he was in terrific shape.
50
00:11:49,975 --> 00:11:52,671
You mean apart from being dead?
51
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:55,369
That's plate glass.
52
00:11:55,581 --> 00:11:58,482
You'd have to step on the gas
just to put a crack in it.
53
00:11:58,684 --> 00:12:00,618
Had to have been thrown.
54
00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:02,014
Check the bedroom?
55
00:12:02,221 --> 00:12:05,122
Yeah. Drawers opened, tossed through.
56
00:12:05,324 --> 00:12:08,350
Mattress flipped. Probably robbery.
57
00:12:08,527 --> 00:12:10,017
or made to look like one.
58
00:12:10,162 --> 00:12:11,925
See this?
59
00:12:12,231 --> 00:12:15,462
- Shaking hands with the president.
Whoa.
60
00:12:15,634 --> 00:12:17,864
Think Blake was a spook?
61
00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:21,734
Government or black ops?
62
00:12:22,041 --> 00:12:23,941
l think...
63
00:12:24,243 --> 00:12:27,542
...this is way bigger than both of us.
64
00:12:30,649 --> 00:12:35,951
Rorschach's journal, October 1 2th, 1 985.
65
00:12:36,155 --> 00:12:41,252
Dog carcass in alley this morning.
Tire tread on burst stomach.
66
00:12:41,494 --> 00:12:43,758
This city's afraid of me.
67
00:12:43,896 --> 00:12:47,855
l've seen its true face.
The streets are extended gutters...
68
00:12:48,501 --> 00:12:50,901
...and the gutters are full of blood.
69
00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:53,561
And when the drains finally scab over...
70
00:12:54,607 --> 00:12:56,871
...all the vermin will drown.
71
00:12:57,476 --> 00:12:59,876
The accumulated filth of all their sex
and murder...
72
00:13:00,079 --> 00:13:02,309
...will foam up around their waists...
73
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:07,909
...and all the whores and politicians
will look up and shout, ''Save us. ''
74
00:13:08,921 --> 00:13:12,550
And l'll whisper, ''No. ''
75
00:13:14,059 --> 00:13:16,926
Now the whole world
stands on the brink...
76
00:13:17,129 --> 00:13:19,620
...staring down into bloody hell.
77
00:13:19,765 --> 00:13:23,326
All those liberals and intellectuals...
78
00:13:23,469 --> 00:13:25,460
...and smooth talkers...
79
00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:29,130
...and all of a sudden,
nobody can think of anything to say.
80
00:13:29,275 --> 00:13:32,438
Beneath me, this awful city.
81
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:36,376
lt screams like an abattoir
full of retarded children...
82
00:13:36,582 --> 00:13:41,178
...and the night reeks of fornication
and bad consciences.
83
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:05,898
Tonight, a comedian died in New York.
84
00:15:06,038 --> 00:15:07,403
Somebody knows why.
85
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:10,604
Somebody knows.
86
00:15:11,343 --> 00:15:17,612
lt all started with the gangs.
You know, people tend to forget that.
87
00:15:18,317 --> 00:15:21,343
Pirate outfits, ghosts.
88
00:15:21,553 --> 00:15:24,113
They thought it was funny:
dress up and pull heists.
89
00:15:25,858 --> 00:15:28,554
As soon as we'd arrest them,
they'd be back on the street.
90
00:15:28,727 --> 00:15:32,561
Nobody could pick them out of a lineup
because of the damn masks.
91
00:15:32,731 --> 00:15:35,029
So a few of us cops, we get together...
92
00:15:35,167 --> 00:15:38,534
...and we figure, what the heck,
we'll mask up, too.
93
00:15:38,737 --> 00:15:41,433
We'll finish what the law couldn't.
94
00:15:42,241 --> 00:15:46,234
Pretty soon, the papers get wind of it.
They ran with it...
95
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:50,074
...and oh, boy, we're a national pastime.
96
00:15:50,282 --> 00:15:53,740
lt was me, Dollar Bill, Mothman...
97
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:57,354
...Captain Metropolis, Hooded Justice...
98
00:15:57,489 --> 00:16:00,617
...Silk Spectre and the Comedian.
99
00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:04,320
oh, don't get me started on him.
100
00:16:06,498 --> 00:16:10,525
l must be drunk already,
telling you this sob story again.
101
00:16:10,703 --> 00:16:12,603
l think you were trying to make a point.
102
00:16:13,505 --> 00:16:19,637
Well, my point is that we had it too easy.
lt wasn't fair what happened to you guys-
103
00:16:19,812 --> 00:16:23,942
You guys who picked up where we left off.
- with Nixon forcing you out.
104
00:16:25,017 --> 00:16:29,454
Nixon, oh, that prick. To think l voted
for that prick five times.
105
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:32,419
Hey, it was him or the commies, right?
106
00:16:35,227 --> 00:16:39,027
oh, wow, it's almost midnight.
Gotta go.
107
00:16:40,532 --> 00:16:42,159
Truth?
108
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:46,566
You were a better Nite owl
than l ever was, Danny boy.
109
00:16:46,739 --> 00:16:50,470
- Hollis, we both know that's bullshit.
- Hey.
110
00:16:50,642 --> 00:16:51,939
Watch it with the language.
111
00:16:52,077 --> 00:16:54,739
This is the left hook
that floored Captain Axis, remember?
112
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:55,938
Yeah.
113
00:16:56,582 --> 00:16:58,641
Next week?
HoLLlS: Well...
114
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:03,379
...you know, you don't have to
keep humoring me like this.
115
00:17:03,589 --> 00:17:05,716
lf you got a hot date or something...
116
00:17:05,891 --> 00:17:08,689
Hey, us retired guys
have to stick together, right?
117
00:17:10,496 --> 00:17:12,327
You ever miss it?
118
00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:15,625
No. You?
119
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:17,998
oh, heck, no.
120
00:17:19,304 --> 00:17:21,101
Be seeing you.
121
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:23,398
Hello, Daniel.
122
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:25,195
Rorschach.
123
00:18:26,305 --> 00:18:30,605
Helped myself to some beans.
Hope you don't mind.
124
00:18:30,742 --> 00:18:33,210
No, no. Course not.
125
00:18:34,813 --> 00:18:37,338
You want me to heat those up for you?
126
00:18:37,549 --> 00:18:39,039
Fine like this.
127
00:18:40,652 --> 00:18:41,812
How have you been keeping?
128
00:18:46,225 --> 00:18:48,022
Out of prison.
129
00:18:48,527 --> 00:18:50,017
So far.
130
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:52,123
Daniel...
131
00:18:52,764 --> 00:18:54,254
...look at this.
132
00:19:01,473 --> 00:19:04,067
ls this bean juice?
RoRSCHACH: Human bean juice.
133
00:19:04,776 --> 00:19:09,270
Badge belonged to the Comedian.
Blood too. He's dead.
134
00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:12,783
Let's talk downstairs.
135
00:19:13,585 --> 00:19:15,314
lt could have been a burglary.
136
00:19:15,521 --> 00:19:18,217
Maybe the killer didn't know
who the Comedian was.
137
00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:23,123
An ordinary burglar?
Kill the Comedian? Ridiculous.
138
00:19:24,696 --> 00:19:28,132
l heard he'd been working
for the government since '77...
139
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:31,497
...knocking over Marxist republics
in South America.
140
00:19:31,637 --> 00:19:34,606
Maybe it was a political killing
or something.
141
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:36,002
Maybe.
142
00:19:36,208 --> 00:19:39,439
Maybe someone's picking off
costumed heroes.
143
00:19:39,611 --> 00:19:41,704
You don't think that's a little paranoid?
144
00:19:41,914 --> 00:19:44,439
That what they say about me now?
145
00:19:44,716 --> 00:19:45,944
Paranoid?
146
00:19:46,151 --> 00:19:49,018
Look, Comedian made
a lot of enemies over the years...
147
00:19:49,154 --> 00:19:50,621
...even among his friends.
148
00:19:50,822 --> 00:19:53,017
Speaking of friends, how's Hollis Mason?
149
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:57,818
He wrote that book. Said some bad things
about the Comedian in it.
150
00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:02,057
l don't like what you're implying,
and l like being followed even less.
151
00:20:02,634 --> 00:20:07,071
Maybe l was keeping an eye on you,
in case someone's gunning for masks.
152
00:20:07,239 --> 00:20:11,938
- You were never that sentimental.
- Attack on one is attack on all of us.
153
00:20:12,344 --> 00:20:14,778
What do you suggest we do about it?
154
00:20:15,681 --> 00:20:16,841
Retribution.
155
00:20:18,283 --> 00:20:21,582
- Watchmen are over.
- Says Tricky Dick.
156
00:20:21,753 --> 00:20:23,550
Says me.
157
00:20:26,158 --> 00:20:27,750
Nobody knows who you are.
158
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,895
You can give it up,
try and have a normal life.
159
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:34,965
That what you have now?
A normal life?
160
00:20:35,968 --> 00:20:39,369
When you walk down the street
in a city dying of rabies...
161
00:20:39,504 --> 00:20:40,971
...past the human cockroaches...
162
00:20:41,173 --> 00:20:43,903
...talking about their heroin
and child pornography...
163
00:20:44,076 --> 00:20:45,600
...do you really feel normal?
164
00:20:46,778 --> 00:20:49,508
Least l'm not the one
still hiding behind a mask.
165
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:52,678
No.
166
00:20:54,386 --> 00:20:56,479
You're hiding in plain sight.
167
00:20:57,889 --> 00:21:00,016
Be seeing you, Dan.
168
00:21:00,459 --> 00:21:02,927
A maintenance hatch
will let you out two blocks north.
169
00:21:03,128 --> 00:21:04,823
Yeah, l remember.
170
00:21:05,030 --> 00:21:09,057
Came here often,
when we were partners.
171
00:21:09,234 --> 00:21:11,134
Those were great times, huh,
Rorschach?
172
00:21:11,637 --> 00:21:14,868
- What happened?
- You quit.
173
00:21:42,167 --> 00:21:43,156
Mr. Veidt...
174
00:21:43,969 --> 00:21:46,096
...to date,
you're one of only two Watchmen...
175
00:21:46,271 --> 00:21:48,705
...ever to reveal their true identity
to the world...
176
00:21:48,874 --> 00:21:50,808
...the first being Hollis Mason.
177
00:21:50,976 --> 00:21:53,968
And you've certainly profited greatly
by it...
178
00:21:54,179 --> 00:21:59,412
...turning your superhero alter ego,
ozymandias, into a billion-dollar industry:
179
00:21:59,618 --> 00:22:02,610
Toys, lunchboxes, genetic engineering.
180
00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:04,812
l understand there's a movie
in the works.
181
00:22:05,023 --> 00:22:09,221
- l'm not hearing a question, Mr. Roth.
RoTH: l'm sorry. Do you think-
182
00:22:09,428 --> 00:22:11,953
The Watchmen resent me
for prostituting their struggle?
183
00:22:12,130 --> 00:22:14,860
lt's a fair question.
Yes, it's crossed my mind...
184
00:22:15,033 --> 00:22:18,059
...some of my old colleagues
might see it that way...
185
00:22:18,236 --> 00:22:21,228
...just as you're clearly aware
that biased journalism...
186
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,034
...sells more magazines.
187
00:22:24,543 --> 00:22:29,276
The merchandising arm of Veidt lndustries
is funding our work with Dr. Manhattan.
188
00:22:29,448 --> 00:22:32,440
We recently expanded our research facility
in Antarctica...
189
00:22:32,584 --> 00:22:35,781
...in the hope of developing cheap,
renewable sources of energy...
190
00:22:35,987 --> 00:22:38,956
...that we might eliminate
the world's reliance on fossil fuels.
191
00:22:39,157 --> 00:22:41,591
Now, it doesn't take
a political scientist...
192
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,161
...to see that our Cold War
with the Russians isn't ideological...
193
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:48,856
...it's based upon fear.
Fear of not having enough.
194
00:22:49,201 --> 00:22:52,898
But if we make resources infinite...
195
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:57,467
...we make war obsolete.
196
00:22:58,276 --> 00:23:02,042
l would hope the other Watchmen
understand that...
197
00:23:03,248 --> 00:23:04,909
...wherever they may be.
198
00:23:07,052 --> 00:23:08,417
Thanks for your time.
199
00:23:14,659 --> 00:23:17,321
- You look good, Adrian.
- Dan.
200
00:23:17,529 --> 00:23:19,724
lt's been too long.
201
00:23:21,466 --> 00:23:25,527
So Rorschach thinks
someone's hunting the Watchmen, huh?
202
00:23:26,238 --> 00:23:28,069
You think it's possible?
203
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,970
Statistically, one murder
doesn't equal a trend.
204
00:23:32,144 --> 00:23:34,078
Rorschach's a sociopath, Dan.
205
00:23:34,746 --> 00:23:38,079
And so was the Comedian.
He was practically a Nazi.
206
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:40,941
You know that better than anyone.
207
00:23:41,153 --> 00:23:43,348
l'm not here because l miss him.
208
00:23:43,555 --> 00:23:44,852
lt's occurred to Rorschach...
209
00:23:45,056 --> 00:23:47,991
...that we're the only ones
who know each other's identities.
210
00:23:48,493 --> 00:23:50,586
Actually, the whole world knows yours.
211
00:23:51,363 --> 00:23:53,854
That's why l'm warning you first.
212
00:23:57,469 --> 00:23:59,460
Thank you, Dan...
213
00:24:01,006 --> 00:24:04,806
...but l fear there's something
much more real to worry about...
214
00:24:04,943 --> 00:24:07,537
...than Rorschach's mask killer.
215
00:24:09,047 --> 00:24:13,609
lf the Russians do launch their nukes,
can Jon really stop them?
216
00:24:13,819 --> 00:24:17,414
The Soviets have 51 ,000
warheads stockpiled.
217
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:20,819
Even if Jon stops 99 percent of them...
218
00:24:20,959 --> 00:24:25,157
...the 1 percent that get through
could still kill every living thing on Earth.
219
00:24:27,933 --> 00:24:30,265
Even Dr. Manhattan
can't be everywhere at once.
220
00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:50,146
Rorschach's journal,
October 1 3th, 1 985...
221
00:24:50,355 --> 00:24:52,687
...8:30 p. m.
222
00:24:53,391 --> 00:24:57,293
Meeting with Dreiberg
left bad taste in mouth.
223
00:24:57,496 --> 00:25:01,489
A flabby failure who sits
whimpering in his basement.
224
00:25:02,701 --> 00:25:05,636
Why are so few of us left active...
225
00:25:05,804 --> 00:25:10,707
...healthy and without
personality disorders?
226
00:25:10,842 --> 00:25:14,107
The first Nite Owl
runs an auto-repair shop.
227
00:25:14,246 --> 00:25:17,647
The first Silk Spectre
is a bloated, aging whore...
228
00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:20,716
...dying in a California rest resort.
229
00:25:20,919 --> 00:25:23,444
Dollar Bill got his cape stuck
in a revolving door...
230
00:25:23,655 --> 00:25:25,145
...where he got gunned down.
231
00:25:25,824 --> 00:25:28,224
Silhouette, murdered...
232
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,529
...a victim of her own indecent lifestyle.
233
00:25:32,063 --> 00:25:35,055
Mothman's in an asylum in Maine.
234
00:25:39,070 --> 00:25:42,233
Only two names remain on my list.
235
00:25:42,374 --> 00:25:47,471
Both share private quarters
at Rockefeller Military Research Center.
236
00:25:47,646 --> 00:25:49,978
l shall go to them.
237
00:25:50,348 --> 00:25:55,786
l shall go tell the indestructible man
that someone plans to murder him.
238
00:26:03,495 --> 00:26:05,292
Good evening, Rorschach.
239
00:26:05,497 --> 00:26:08,989
Dr. Manhattan, you know why l'm here.
240
00:26:09,134 --> 00:26:10,601
Yes...
241
00:26:11,836 --> 00:26:13,804
...but you're going to leave disappointed.
242
00:26:14,005 --> 00:26:17,702
Rorschach. You shouldn't be here.
You're a wanted man.
243
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:20,104
Nice to see you too, Silk Spectre.
244
00:26:20,245 --> 00:26:22,304
l have a real name l've been using.
245
00:26:22,514 --> 00:26:23,503
Try it.
246
00:26:23,715 --> 00:26:25,808
Whatever you say, Laurie.
247
00:26:26,017 --> 00:26:27,211
What are you doing here?
248
00:26:27,419 --> 00:26:29,717
The Comedian is dead.
249
00:26:29,921 --> 00:26:31,946
Rorschach wants me
to look into my future...
250
00:26:32,324 --> 00:26:34,815
...see if the killer is ever
publicly identified.
251
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,054
Already warned Dreiberg.
Came to warn you too.
252
00:26:40,765 --> 00:26:43,131
Even if l wanted to help...
253
00:26:43,735 --> 00:26:47,637
...my future is blocked
by some kind of temporal interference.
254
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:52,135
- l cannot see it clearly.
- lnterference? Caused by what?
255
00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:55,678
ln all likelihood, nuclear holocaust.
256
00:26:56,448 --> 00:27:00,475
lf the United States and Soviet Union
engage in all-out war...
257
00:27:00,685 --> 00:27:04,621
...the resulting blast wave would produce
a sudden burst of tachyons...
258
00:27:04,823 --> 00:27:09,783
...particles which travel backward
through what you perceive as time...
259
00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:13,795
...therefore obscuring my vision
of the present.
260
00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:15,998
l must return to my work.
261
00:27:16,134 --> 00:27:17,294
Wait a minute.
262
00:27:17,435 --> 00:27:19,926
What if that's why
someone wants us out of the way?
263
00:27:20,105 --> 00:27:22,335
So we can't do anything to stop it?
264
00:27:22,507 --> 00:27:24,338
Goodbye, Rorschach.
265
00:27:24,509 --> 00:27:26,807
Took a lot of effort
to get in here to see you.
266
00:27:26,945 --> 00:27:28,310
l'm not leaving-
267
00:27:29,547 --> 00:27:31,913
- till l've had my say.
268
00:27:39,424 --> 00:27:42,359
Seems like there's a lot of things
you don't tell me these days.
269
00:27:42,527 --> 00:27:45,223
l didn't wanna worry you prematurely.
270
00:27:45,730 --> 00:27:49,826
lf Adrian and l can solve the energy crisis,
war may be averted.
271
00:27:50,035 --> 00:27:52,060
But you always say time is simultaneous.
272
00:27:52,771 --> 00:27:55,638
lf that's true,
then how can you change the future?
273
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,777
lf only you could perceive time as l do.
274
00:28:00,912 --> 00:28:02,174
Please let me show you.
275
00:28:08,186 --> 00:28:13,123
Magic. Dreams. That is what l had before.
l was a hero, goddamn it!
276
00:28:13,291 --> 00:28:16,385
lt's not my fault you got old.
What do you have to complain about?
277
00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:18,996
l'm putting food on the table
for you and your child.
278
00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:21,894
Call your friend Eddie.
Maybe he can give you a better life.
279
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:26,230
- lt was a mistake. one time.
- Man tries to rape you-
280
00:28:26,538 --> 00:28:27,903
Stop!
281
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:30,140
Your mind goes to dark places...
282
00:28:30,308 --> 00:28:32,640
...and you wonder
why l keep the worst from you.
283
00:28:36,614 --> 00:28:40,050
- Say hello to Dan for me.
- What?
284
00:28:41,820 --> 00:28:44,618
You wanna ask me
to go to dinner with you...
285
00:28:46,324 --> 00:28:48,519
...like we used to...
286
00:28:49,928 --> 00:28:51,054
...but you won't.
287
00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:54,128
You know l can't.
288
00:28:56,735 --> 00:28:59,033
So you'll call Dan...
289
00:28:59,437 --> 00:29:01,564
...which is only natural.
290
00:29:01,906 --> 00:29:04,500
You deserve the comfort of an old friend.
291
00:29:38,843 --> 00:29:40,401
Dan Dreiberg's table.
292
00:30:01,566 --> 00:30:05,332
Did you know that
he and H.J. were-? l had no idea.
293
00:30:05,837 --> 00:30:08,931
You remember that crazy guy?
What'd he call himself?
294
00:30:09,073 --> 00:30:10,563
Captain Carnage.
295
00:30:10,742 --> 00:30:13,939
Used to pretend he was a supervillain
just so he could get beat up?
296
00:30:14,145 --> 00:30:16,545
Yeah, he tried that on me once.
l just walked away.
297
00:30:16,681 --> 00:30:19,741
He starts following me down the street
in broad daylight...
298
00:30:19,951 --> 00:30:22,681
...yelling, ''Punish me! Punish me!''
299
00:30:22,954 --> 00:30:25,445
l'm just saying, ''No, get lost. ''
300
00:30:26,658 --> 00:30:29,092
God, whatever happened to him?
301
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:31,455
oh. Um...
He pulled that on Rorschach...
302
00:30:31,596 --> 00:30:33,996
...and Rorschach
dropped him down an elevator shaft.
303
00:30:40,471 --> 00:30:42,871
oh, my God. That's not even funny.
304
00:30:43,575 --> 00:30:46,066
- lt's a little funny.
- Yep.
305
00:30:47,979 --> 00:30:49,970
WoMAN: l'm glad l ordered
the four-legged chicken.
306
00:30:50,114 --> 00:30:52,105
lt's really good to see you again.
307
00:30:53,384 --> 00:30:54,874
lt's great seeing you too.
308
00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:58,178
Why'd we do it, Dan? Dress up like that?
309
00:30:59,390 --> 00:31:02,621
- No one else would.
- Yeah, but do you remember my costume?
310
00:31:02,827 --> 00:31:05,921
All that tight latex?
l mean, it was awful.
311
00:31:06,064 --> 00:31:09,033
Uh... Yeah, yeah, awful.
312
00:31:09,234 --> 00:31:11,634
But didn't wanna disappoint Mother.
313
00:31:11,836 --> 00:31:15,829
Wanted her little girl to be just like her
and fight bad guys.
314
00:31:16,474 --> 00:31:20,069
l think the Keene Act was the best thing
that ever happened to us.
315
00:31:21,145 --> 00:31:23,545
Well, we'll live longer anyway.
316
00:31:26,851 --> 00:31:28,341
What?
317
00:31:29,354 --> 00:31:33,848
Jon thinks, unless he can do something
about it...
318
00:31:34,692 --> 00:31:36,751
...that there's gonna be nuclear war.
319
00:31:37,195 --> 00:31:38,685
Soon.
320
00:31:39,564 --> 00:31:42,897
But l don't know what to think.
l mean, it's all...
321
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:46,161
...quantum mechanics
and parallel realities with him.
322
00:31:46,304 --> 00:31:49,068
l never even know
what universe he's actually seeing.
323
00:31:50,375 --> 00:31:53,503
He just keeps getting further away
from me.
324
00:31:54,212 --> 00:31:55,873
Everyone.
325
00:31:56,981 --> 00:31:59,677
l can't even tell
if he actually cares about me anymore...
326
00:31:59,884 --> 00:32:01,818
...or if he's just pretending.
327
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,455
lf he's pretending, it means he cares.
328
00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:12,219
Hold on, l'll get the door.
329
00:32:13,531 --> 00:32:15,328
Thanks, Dan.
330
00:32:15,733 --> 00:32:17,724
- Got it?
- Yeah.
331
00:32:22,540 --> 00:32:23,768
l'm sorry.
332
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:27,844
l invite you out to dinner to catch up
and have a few laughs...
333
00:32:28,246 --> 00:32:31,579
...but there don't seem to be many laughs
around these days.
334
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:35,583
What do you expect?
The Comedian's dead.
335
00:34:07,211 --> 00:34:10,738
Laurie? ls that you?
336
00:34:13,518 --> 00:34:16,453
Thought you'd be used
to traveling that way by now.
337
00:34:17,121 --> 00:34:21,114
Well, l'm not.
l hate it when Jon teleports me.
338
00:34:21,325 --> 00:34:24,158
Well, it beats flying coach.
339
00:34:24,529 --> 00:34:26,520
Margarita?
340
00:34:26,764 --> 00:34:28,925
Mother, it's 2:00 in the afternoon.
341
00:34:33,771 --> 00:34:36,069
Remember that guy
that writes me letters?
342
00:34:36,441 --> 00:34:39,740
He sent me an item of memorabilia.
lt's a Tijuana bible.
343
00:34:39,911 --> 00:34:44,075
This little eight-page porno comic
they did in the '30s and '40s.
344
00:34:44,282 --> 00:34:48,275
- He sent you this?
- Sure. They're very valuable, like antiques.
345
00:34:49,153 --> 00:34:50,780
Mother, this is gross.
346
00:34:50,988 --> 00:34:53,252
l think it's kind of flattering.
347
00:34:53,424 --> 00:34:55,688
Why do you always call me Mother
when you're mad?
348
00:34:57,061 --> 00:35:01,088
l know why you're here.
l can still read, you know.
349
00:35:01,833 --> 00:35:04,097
l saw it in the paper.
350
00:35:04,735 --> 00:35:07,636
Eddie Blake's funeral is today.
351
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,432
Finally got his punchline, l guess.
352
00:35:12,910 --> 00:35:15,743
- Poor Eddie.
- Poor Eddie? After what he did to you?
353
00:35:16,447 --> 00:35:18,005
oh, Laurie, you're still young.
354
00:35:18,816 --> 00:35:20,716
You don't know.
355
00:35:20,885 --> 00:35:22,614
Things change.
356
00:35:23,521 --> 00:35:26,251
What happened happened 40 years ago.
357
00:35:26,424 --> 00:35:29,723
l'm 67 years old.
358
00:35:29,861 --> 00:35:34,059
Every day, the future
looks a little bit darker.
359
00:35:34,899 --> 00:35:37,060
But the past...
360
00:35:37,568 --> 00:35:40,560
...even the grimy parts of it...
361
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:43,733
...keep on getting brighter.
362
00:35:49,247 --> 00:35:52,080
l've got spots in my eyes.
363
00:35:55,586 --> 00:35:58,248
Stop it, Eddie.
364
00:35:59,257 --> 00:36:02,522
- Thank you, Weegee.
- Thank you, Mr. owl.
365
00:36:03,728 --> 00:36:06,925
Tomorrow, 3:00, my studio.
366
00:36:07,098 --> 00:36:10,295
- Little place on 21 st.
- Sounds good.
367
00:36:10,434 --> 00:36:15,030
Wow, a real photo session.
Wonder how my hair will look?
368
00:36:17,341 --> 00:36:20,538
oh, go ahead. l'll be there in five.
369
00:36:37,061 --> 00:36:38,119
Eddie.
370
00:36:39,163 --> 00:36:43,224
What the hell are you doing here?
You knew l was changing.
371
00:36:43,434 --> 00:36:45,026
Sure l did.
372
00:36:46,637 --> 00:36:48,229
Come on, baby.
373
00:36:48,673 --> 00:36:50,664
l know what you need.
374
00:36:50,841 --> 00:36:54,937
You gotta have some kind of reason
for dressing in an outfit like this.
375
00:36:55,079 --> 00:36:57,377
l said no, Eddie.
376
00:36:58,049 --> 00:37:02,884
- No spelled Y-E-S.
- No spelled N-o.
377
00:37:03,087 --> 00:37:06,488
- All right?
- Come on, sweetheart.
378
00:37:10,428 --> 00:37:12,020
Eddie...
379
00:37:49,934 --> 00:37:52,630
You little bastard.
380
00:37:59,243 --> 00:38:00,210
This what you like?
381
00:38:00,378 --> 00:38:02,869
- This what makes you hot?
- What?
382
00:38:13,391 --> 00:38:16,588
Things are tough all over, cupcake.
383
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:20,890
lt rains on the just and the unjust alike.
384
00:38:21,032 --> 00:38:24,900
The Comedian was a little bit of both.
385
00:38:26,337 --> 00:38:29,704
And he always thought
he'd get the last laugh.
386
00:38:30,241 --> 00:38:33,301
Thou knowest, Lord,
the secrets of our hearts.
387
00:38:33,911 --> 00:38:37,244
Shut not thy merciful ears
to our prayers...
388
00:38:37,415 --> 00:38:42,011
...but spare us, Lord most holy,
o God most mighty...
389
00:38:42,219 --> 00:38:45,245
...o holy and merciful savior.
390
00:38:45,956 --> 00:38:48,720
Thou most worthy judge eternal.
391
00:38:48,859 --> 00:38:52,226
Suffer us not at our last hour
for any-
392
00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:52,220
Fireworks. You gotta be kidding me.
393
00:39:52,423 --> 00:39:57,122
You know, you'd think this goddamn
country had had enough fireworks.
394
00:39:58,028 --> 00:40:00,622
You know, if we'd lost here in Vietnam...
395
00:40:00,831 --> 00:40:05,768
...l think it might have driven us crazy.
You know, as a country.
396
00:40:06,537 --> 00:40:10,234
But we didn't, thanks to you.
397
00:40:12,243 --> 00:40:14,143
You sound bitter.
398
00:40:14,345 --> 00:40:15,972
Me? Bitter?
399
00:40:16,147 --> 00:40:19,241
Fuck, no. l think it's hilarious.
400
00:40:25,589 --> 00:40:27,454
oh, Jesus Christ.
401
00:40:27,591 --> 00:40:30,583
- Mr. Eddie?
- Just what l fucking needed.
402
00:40:30,761 --> 00:40:35,858
The war is over now.
We must talk about this baby.
403
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,161
There's nothing to talk about.
See, l'm leaving.
404
00:40:40,304 --> 00:40:41,669
l'm gonna forget about you...
405
00:40:41,806 --> 00:40:44,673
...and your horrible, sweaty,
little piece-of-shit country.
406
00:40:45,209 --> 00:40:46,369
Get the fuck out of here.
407
00:40:48,112 --> 00:40:49,977
- No.
- Get the fuck out of here.
408
00:40:50,181 --> 00:40:51,512
You will remember.
409
00:40:53,317 --> 00:40:56,013
You will remember me and my country...
410
00:40:56,921 --> 00:40:58,513
...forever!
411
00:41:01,125 --> 00:41:02,956
My face!
412
00:41:05,162 --> 00:41:06,322
Blake. Don't.
413
00:41:07,131 --> 00:41:08,428
Blake!
414
00:41:15,339 --> 00:41:17,830
She was pregnant...
415
00:41:19,076 --> 00:41:20,839
...and you gunned her down.
416
00:41:20,978 --> 00:41:22,240
That's right...
417
00:41:22,446 --> 00:41:24,346
...and you know what? You watched me.
418
00:41:24,548 --> 00:41:27,540
You could have turned the gun to steam,
the bullets to mercury...
419
00:41:27,751 --> 00:41:31,278
...the bottle into goddamn snowflakes,
but you didn't, did you?
420
00:41:33,257 --> 00:41:36,090
You really don't give a damn
about human beings.
421
00:41:37,261 --> 00:41:40,094
You're drifting out of touch, Doc.
422
00:41:41,665 --> 00:41:43,860
God help us all.
423
00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:47,167
Medic!
424
00:41:54,011 --> 00:41:57,174
Most holy and merciful savior.
425
00:41:58,115 --> 00:42:02,313
He cometh up and is cut down,
like a flower.
426
00:42:03,153 --> 00:42:07,351
ln the midst of life, we are in death.
427
00:42:09,660 --> 00:42:13,323
Welcome to the first meeting-
- This is bullshit.
428
00:42:13,464 --> 00:42:17,833
For a guy who calls himself the Comedian,
l can never tell when you're joking.
429
00:42:18,035 --> 00:42:21,436
Watchmen. That's the real joke.
430
00:42:21,572 --> 00:42:24,370
lt didn't work 1 5 years ago,
and it ain't gonna work now...
431
00:42:24,542 --> 00:42:26,669
...because you wanna play
cowboys and lndians.
432
00:42:26,844 --> 00:42:29,244
Maybe we should agree
on no drinking at meetings.
433
00:42:31,048 --> 00:42:34,745
Rorschach and l have made headway
on the gang problem by working together.
434
00:42:34,952 --> 00:42:39,286
A group this size seems like
a publicity stunt. l'm not in it for the ink.
435
00:42:39,456 --> 00:42:41,253
We can do so much more.
436
00:42:41,458 --> 00:42:43,653
We can save this world...
437
00:42:45,262 --> 00:42:48,390
- ... with the right leadership.
- Yeah.
438
00:42:50,768 --> 00:42:52,497
And that'd be you, right, ozzy?
439
00:42:52,670 --> 00:42:55,468
l mean, hell,
you're the smartest man on the planet.
440
00:42:55,606 --> 00:42:58,268
lt doesn't take a genius
to see the world has problems.
441
00:42:58,676 --> 00:43:02,237
But it takes a room of morons to think
they're small enough for you to handle.
442
00:43:03,213 --> 00:43:07,206
You know, mankind's been trying to kill
each other off since the beginning of time.
443
00:43:07,351 --> 00:43:12,220
Now we finally have the power
to finish the job.
444
00:43:12,423 --> 00:43:16,052
Ain't nothing gonna matter once
those nukes start flying. We'll all be dust.
445
00:43:19,229 --> 00:43:21,220
Then ozymandias here...
446
00:43:22,232 --> 00:43:24,530
...will be the smartest man
on the cinder.
447
00:43:33,444 --> 00:43:35,469
For as much as it hath pleased...
448
00:43:35,746 --> 00:43:40,649
...almighty God to take onto himself
the soul of our dear departed brother...
449
00:43:42,052 --> 00:43:46,079
...let us therefore commit his body
to the ground.
450
00:43:46,290 --> 00:43:49,748
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes...
451
00:44:09,013 --> 00:44:15,248
Watchmen! Police!
Police to protect the people!
452
00:44:19,823 --> 00:44:23,850
Attention, citizens.
We are trying to maintain order.
453
00:44:24,028 --> 00:44:28,465
You must clear the streets
until the police strike is over.
454
00:44:28,632 --> 00:44:31,829
lf you could-
Please, there's no need for violence.
455
00:44:31,969 --> 00:44:35,063
Goddamn it. All right.
That's how you wanna do it?
456
00:44:46,850 --> 00:44:48,442
There's no need for violence.
457
00:44:48,652 --> 00:44:51,746
Fuck you. Fuck you!
458
00:44:58,062 --> 00:44:59,757
oh, this is getting heavy.
459
00:45:23,620 --> 00:45:27,021
Goddamn, l love working
on American soil, Dan.
460
00:45:27,224 --> 00:45:29,624
Ain't had this much fun
since Woodward and Bernstein.
461
00:45:29,827 --> 00:45:31,419
How long can we keep this up?
462
00:45:31,628 --> 00:45:35,223
Congress is pushing through some new bill
that's gonna outlaw masks.
463
00:45:35,365 --> 00:45:36,627
our days are numbered.
464
00:45:36,834 --> 00:45:41,066
Until then, it's like you always say:
We're society's only protection.
465
00:45:41,238 --> 00:45:45,834
- From what?
- Are you kidding me? From themselves.
466
00:45:45,976 --> 00:45:48,171
- Son of a bitch.
No, Comedian, wait!
467
00:45:49,747 --> 00:45:51,647
Get your stinking hands off me.
468
00:45:53,851 --> 00:45:56,285
What the hell happened to us?
469
00:46:00,524 --> 00:46:02,890
What happened to the American dream?
470
00:46:03,694 --> 00:46:06,527
What happened to the American dream?
471
00:46:06,697 --> 00:46:08,824
lt came true!
472
00:46:08,999 --> 00:46:11,024
You're looking at it.
473
00:47:31,849 --> 00:47:33,339
Edgar William Jacobi.
474
00:47:33,517 --> 00:47:37,351
Also known as Edgar William Vaughn.
Also known as Moloch.
475
00:47:41,425 --> 00:47:43,655
What are you talking about?
476
00:47:44,628 --> 00:47:46,027
l'm a retired businessman-
477
00:47:48,332 --> 00:47:51,165
Lie again, Moloch, l break another finger.
478
00:47:51,335 --> 00:47:53,360
l did my time.
479
00:47:53,537 --> 00:47:56,335
l'm not Moloch anymore.
480
00:47:56,940 --> 00:48:01,309
- What do you want from me?
- Heard you attended Blake's funeral. Why?
481
00:48:01,478 --> 00:48:04,970
l just felt l should...
482
00:48:06,183 --> 00:48:09,084
...pay my respects to the Comedian.
483
00:48:11,521 --> 00:48:16,288
- How'd you know he was the Comedian?
- He broke in here. A week ago.
484
00:48:16,426 --> 00:48:18,792
He had his mask off.
485
00:48:19,229 --> 00:48:22,721
- He was drunk.
- Enemies. For decades.
486
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:25,926
- Why should he visit you?
- l don't know.
487
00:48:26,103 --> 00:48:29,038
l woke up in my bedroom
and there he was.
488
00:48:29,206 --> 00:48:31,197
He was upset.
489
00:48:31,742 --> 00:48:33,300
He was crying.
490
00:48:33,810 --> 00:48:36,108
Crying? The Comedian?
491
00:48:36,246 --> 00:48:39,238
He was babbling, not making any sense.
492
00:48:39,449 --> 00:48:42,418
l was pissing in my pants.
493
00:48:42,619 --> 00:48:44,917
l thought he was gonna kill me.
494
00:48:45,122 --> 00:48:47,352
What did he say?
495
00:48:48,659 --> 00:48:50,320
lt's a joke.
496
00:48:51,061 --> 00:48:53,621
lt's all a fucking joke.
497
00:48:55,666 --> 00:48:58,066
You know, l thought l knew how it was.
498
00:48:58,235 --> 00:49:01,204
l thought l knew how the world was.
499
00:49:02,372 --> 00:49:05,000
l've done some bad things.
500
00:49:05,676 --> 00:49:09,271
l did bad things to women. l shot kids.
501
00:49:09,479 --> 00:49:11,709
ln 'Nam, you know.
502
00:49:12,316 --> 00:49:13,715
But that was fucking war.
503
00:49:14,718 --> 00:49:16,083
This...
504
00:49:16,720 --> 00:49:19,382
l never done anything like this.
505
00:49:22,092 --> 00:49:24,993
God, here l am...
506
00:49:25,195 --> 00:49:27,288
...spilling my guts...
507
00:49:27,731 --> 00:49:29,221
...to one of my archenemies.
508
00:49:31,401 --> 00:49:33,733
But the truth is...
509
00:49:34,338 --> 00:49:38,934
...you're the closest thing to a friend l got.
What the fuck does that say?
510
00:49:42,846 --> 00:49:45,041
Shit.
511
00:49:46,616 --> 00:49:48,243
And your name...
512
00:49:48,452 --> 00:49:50,943
...your name was on the list...
513
00:49:51,221 --> 00:49:55,521
...along with Janey, you know,
whatever the fuck her name is.
514
00:49:55,659 --> 00:49:58,127
Manhattan's old girl.
515
00:50:02,332 --> 00:50:04,459
Mother, forgive me.
516
00:50:05,635 --> 00:50:07,330
And then he left.
517
00:50:08,338 --> 00:50:12,934
l swear l don't know
what the hell he was talking about.
518
00:50:19,683 --> 00:50:21,651
Funny story.
519
00:50:22,152 --> 00:50:24,450
Sounds unbelievable.
520
00:50:25,255 --> 00:50:27,155
Probably true.
521
00:50:27,357 --> 00:50:30,053
So that's it?
522
00:50:30,193 --> 00:50:34,357
- l'm clean?
- You?
523
00:50:35,565 --> 00:50:36,862
Clean?
524
00:50:41,805 --> 00:50:42,897
Amygdalin.
525
00:50:43,073 --> 00:50:45,769
This phony medication
made from apricot pits.
526
00:50:45,976 --> 00:50:49,173
- lt's illegal.
- Come on.
527
00:50:51,081 --> 00:50:53,379
Please don't confiscate that.
528
00:50:54,284 --> 00:50:57,014
l'm trying anything.
529
00:50:58,522 --> 00:50:59,989
l have cancer.
530
00:51:00,957 --> 00:51:02,322
What kind of cancer?
531
00:51:04,227 --> 00:51:07,219
You know the kind
you eventually get better from?
532
00:51:09,132 --> 00:51:11,123
That ain't the kind l got.
533
00:51:14,371 --> 00:51:18,330
Rorschach's journal. October 1 6th.
534
00:51:18,542 --> 00:51:21,340
Want some of this?
Fifty bucks, l'll suck your cock.
535
00:51:21,545 --> 00:51:24,343
- Thought about Moloch's story.
- Come on.
536
00:51:24,481 --> 00:51:26,449
Could all be lies.
537
00:51:26,650 --> 00:51:30,950
A revenge scheme
planned during his years behind bars.
538
00:51:31,088 --> 00:51:36,185
Fuck you. l make more in a week
than you make in a year, you fucking homo.
539
00:51:36,359 --> 00:51:37,951
But if it's true...
540
00:51:38,161 --> 00:51:40,391
...what could have possibly
scared the Comedian...
541
00:51:40,564 --> 00:51:42,464
...enough to cry in front of Moloch?
542
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:44,858
What was it he saw?
543
00:51:46,603 --> 00:51:48,264
And that list he mentioned.
544
00:51:52,476 --> 00:51:55,877
Edward Blake. The Comedian.
545
00:51:56,012 --> 00:51:58,412
Born 1 91 8.
546
00:51:58,582 --> 00:52:00,550
Buried in the rain.
547
00:52:00,750 --> 00:52:02,615
Murdered.
548
00:52:02,819 --> 00:52:06,812
ls that what happens to us?
No time for friends?
549
00:52:07,757 --> 00:52:10,920
Only our enemies leave roses.
550
00:52:11,228 --> 00:52:14,129
Violent lives ending violently.
551
00:52:16,133 --> 00:52:21,161
Blake understood.
Humans are savage in nature.
552
00:52:21,338 --> 00:52:24,034
No matter how much you try
to dress it up...
553
00:52:24,241 --> 00:52:26,334
...to disguise it...
554
00:52:26,543 --> 00:52:29,637
...Blake saw society's true face.
555
00:52:29,846 --> 00:52:34,442
Chose to be a parody of it. A joke.
556
00:52:34,651 --> 00:52:36,278
l heard joke once.
557
00:52:37,487 --> 00:52:41,287
Man goes to doctor, says he's depressed.
558
00:52:41,458 --> 00:52:45,360
Life seems harsh and cruel.
559
00:52:45,495 --> 00:52:49,363
Says he feels all alone
in threatening world.
560
00:52:49,566 --> 00:52:52,364
Doctor says treatment is simple.
561
00:52:52,769 --> 00:52:57,172
''The great clown Pagliacci is in town.
Go see him.
562
00:52:57,374 --> 00:52:59,365
That should pick you up. ''
563
00:52:59,876 --> 00:53:02,709
Man bursts into tears.
564
00:53:02,913 --> 00:53:07,213
''But doctor, '' he says. ''l am Pagliacci. ''
565
00:53:09,252 --> 00:53:10,947
Good joke.
566
00:53:11,254 --> 00:53:13,154
Everybody laugh.
567
00:53:13,323 --> 00:53:15,518
Roll on snare drum.
568
00:53:16,026 --> 00:53:17,516
Curtains.
569
00:53:25,936 --> 00:53:28,234
What time do you have to be
at your interview?
570
00:53:28,371 --> 00:53:30,032
Don't worry.
571
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,131
We've got plenty of time.
572
00:53:40,250 --> 00:53:42,377
Your finger's like licking a battery.
573
00:54:02,706 --> 00:54:05,436
God, Jon, stop. What are you doing?
574
00:54:05,609 --> 00:54:06,940
Please don't be upset.
575
00:54:07,110 --> 00:54:10,807
l always thought you liked this.
576
00:54:10,947 --> 00:54:12,346
No.
577
00:54:13,917 --> 00:54:16,852
l don't- No.
578
00:54:17,721 --> 00:54:20,519
l don't want that.
579
00:54:20,824 --> 00:54:23,952
l don't know
what stimulates you anymore.
580
00:54:26,129 --> 00:54:29,724
Look, l know you were just trying-
581
00:54:31,534 --> 00:54:34,025
Are you working in here
while we're in bed together?
582
00:54:34,170 --> 00:54:37,628
My work with Adrian
is at a critical stage right now.
583
00:54:38,074 --> 00:54:41,237
- l didn't think it was necessary to-
- To what?
584
00:54:41,444 --> 00:54:44,936
To what? To tell me which one of you
is giving me a pity fuck?
585
00:54:54,157 --> 00:54:56,557
My attention was completely focused
on you.
586
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,458
lf you think there's a problem
with my attitude...
587
00:54:59,596 --> 00:55:01,791
...l am prepared to discuss it.
588
00:55:03,533 --> 00:55:07,299
You know how everything in this world
fits together except people.
589
00:55:07,437 --> 00:55:11,897
What am l to you?
Another puzzle to be solved?
590
00:55:12,108 --> 00:55:15,805
Have your men stand back.
l'm teleporting the reactor to Karnak now.
591
00:55:16,613 --> 00:55:19,548
You're my only remaining link
to the world.
592
00:55:27,357 --> 00:55:29,951
l don't want that responsibility anymore.
593
00:55:35,832 --> 00:55:37,959
He's all yours.
594
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,372
Don't worry, Jon. She'll be back.
595
00:55:47,844 --> 00:55:50,039
No, she won't.
596
00:56:04,094 --> 00:56:08,690
He's been called
many things: Hero, weapon...
597
00:56:09,199 --> 00:56:11,633
...linchpin of our national security...
598
00:56:11,801 --> 00:56:16,329
...deterrent to nuclear war,
or a man to end worlds.
599
00:56:16,706 --> 00:56:19,231
Later tonight, Dr. Manhattan...
600
00:56:19,409 --> 00:56:24,403
...will answer my questions and yours
in an exclusive interview...
601
00:56:24,547 --> 00:56:29,450
...brought to you commercial-free
by Veidt Enterprises.
602
00:56:44,334 --> 00:56:45,562
Who is it?
603
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:47,726
lt's Laurie.
604
00:56:58,581 --> 00:57:01,778
Sorry. l just had this new lock installed.
605
00:57:01,985 --> 00:57:04,476
l didn't know where else to go.
606
00:57:04,621 --> 00:57:07,784
oh, it's okay. Come in.
607
00:57:15,231 --> 00:57:16,289
What's wrong?
608
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,192
l left Jon.
609
00:57:19,903 --> 00:57:22,201
oh, God.
610
00:57:22,705 --> 00:57:24,400
l'm so sorry.
611
00:57:24,607 --> 00:57:27,405
l don't know why l'm here. l just...
612
00:57:28,945 --> 00:57:31,413
l don't know anybody else.
613
00:57:32,248 --> 00:57:35,547
l don't know anybody
except for goddamn superheroes.
614
00:57:36,152 --> 00:57:37,813
That's okay.
615
00:57:38,021 --> 00:57:40,251
You probably just had an argument
or something.
616
00:57:40,423 --> 00:57:41,822
No, Dan.
617
00:57:42,325 --> 00:57:45,021
You don't know what it's been like
living with him.
618
00:57:45,228 --> 00:57:48,322
The way he looks at things now,
it's like he doesn't...
619
00:57:48,531 --> 00:57:50,965
...remember what they are.
620
00:57:51,334 --> 00:57:53,461
lt's like this world, this real world...
621
00:57:53,636 --> 00:57:57,436
...to him,
it's like walking through mist.
622
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,098
And people are just shadows.
623
00:58:02,679 --> 00:58:05,170
Shadows in a fog.
624
00:58:06,316 --> 00:58:09,683
God, how did everything
get so tangled up?
625
00:58:11,287 --> 00:58:13,278
l'm sorry, Dan.
626
00:58:14,023 --> 00:58:17,015
This is twice now
l've ruined your evening.
627
00:58:17,494 --> 00:58:20,486
Come on. l'm glad you came over.
628
00:58:20,630 --> 00:58:24,191
l was just gonna see Hollis
for our weekly beer session.
629
00:58:24,334 --> 00:58:26,325
You're more than welcome to join.
630
00:58:27,504 --> 00:58:30,803
ln fact, l insist.
631
00:59:03,273 --> 00:59:06,071
Terrific. Dr. Manhattan arrives
and no one thinks to tell me.
632
00:59:06,276 --> 00:59:08,176
He just-
- We don't have time for makeup.
633
00:59:08,311 --> 00:59:10,609
That blue is too light for television.
634
00:59:13,416 --> 00:59:15,384
ls that dark enough?
635
00:59:17,687 --> 00:59:21,020
Yeah, that's dark enough.
636
00:59:23,326 --> 00:59:25,886
Seymour.
Bernie, how's tricks?
637
00:59:26,029 --> 00:59:29,430
See this guy behind me?
Been bugging me all week.
638
00:59:41,444 --> 00:59:43,708
Girl.
What we got here?
639
00:59:43,913 --> 00:59:46,746
Here's a list of Pentagon-approved
no-go areas.
640
00:59:46,950 --> 00:59:49,714
Afghanistan will obviously come up,
but just play it cool...
641
00:59:49,919 --> 00:59:52,319
...and try not to get
into any tight corners.
642
00:59:52,455 --> 00:59:56,152
- a renowned nuclear physicist,
who, through a terrible accident...
643
00:59:56,326 --> 01:00:02,128
...was gifted with extraordinary powers,
capable of bending matter to his will.
644
01:00:02,265 --> 01:00:06,531
Today, the world knows him
as Dr. Manhattan.
645
01:00:06,736 --> 01:00:08,033
Welcome.
646
01:00:13,042 --> 01:00:14,270
Thank you.
647
01:00:14,444 --> 01:00:16,378
That's right.
648
01:00:22,952 --> 01:00:25,750
Ms. Black, you have the first question.
649
01:00:25,955 --> 01:00:27,354
Dr. Manhattan, as you know...
650
01:00:27,557 --> 01:00:30,253
...the Doomsday Clock
is a symbolic clock face...
651
01:00:30,393 --> 01:00:33,954
...analogizing humankind's proximity
to extinction...
652
01:00:34,297 --> 01:00:37,289
...midnight representing the threat
of nuclear war.
653
01:00:37,467 --> 01:00:40,664
As of now, it stands at four minutes
to midnight.
654
01:00:41,270 --> 01:00:43,761
Would you agree that we're that close
to annihilation?
655
01:00:44,173 --> 01:00:46,471
My father was a watchmaker.
656
01:00:47,310 --> 01:00:51,679
He abandoned it when Einstein discovered
that time is relative.
657
01:00:52,815 --> 01:00:54,806
l would only agree
that a symbolic clock...
658
01:00:55,018 --> 01:00:56,986
...is as nourishing to the intellect...
659
01:00:57,186 --> 01:01:00,417
...as a photograph of oxygen
to a drowning man.
660
01:01:02,725 --> 01:01:04,454
So you're saying there is no danger.
661
01:01:04,627 --> 01:01:08,620
Even in a world without
nuclear weapons, there would still be danger.
662
01:01:13,569 --> 01:01:16,470
And would you say, as so many claim...
663
01:01:16,639 --> 01:01:18,436
...that you are, in fact, a god...
664
01:01:18,574 --> 01:01:21,441
...given you see the past
and future simultaneously?
665
01:01:21,577 --> 01:01:23,875
l can only see my own past...
666
01:01:24,347 --> 01:01:28,249
...my own future. l am not omniscient.
667
01:01:28,851 --> 01:01:30,250
Doug Roth, your question?
668
01:01:30,386 --> 01:01:33,150
Speaking of your past, Dr. Manhattan...
669
01:01:33,289 --> 01:01:36,053
...do you remember a man
named Wally Weaver?
670
01:01:36,259 --> 01:01:41,356
Yes. We were both physicists together
at the Gila Flats Research Base.
671
01:01:41,864 --> 01:01:43,456
He died of cancer.
672
01:01:44,300 --> 01:01:46,564
- He was a good man.
RoTH: How about Edgar Jacobi...
673
01:01:46,769 --> 01:01:49,670
...also known as the supervillain Moloch?
674
01:01:50,606 --> 01:01:54,702
You encountered him several times
in the '60s: battles, conflicts.
675
01:01:54,911 --> 01:01:57,379
Did you know that he has cancer as well?
676
01:01:58,314 --> 01:01:59,576
l wasn't told.
677
01:01:59,716 --> 01:02:01,911
And what about
General Anthony Randolph?
678
01:02:02,118 --> 01:02:05,519
He was your handler when you first
started working for the government.
679
01:02:05,922 --> 01:02:06,911
Cancer.
680
01:02:07,123 --> 01:02:09,819
You're suggesting l was the cause.
681
01:02:10,226 --> 01:02:13,218
From where l'm standing,
it's starting to look pretty conclusive.
682
01:02:13,362 --> 01:02:15,421
Even if that's the case, it's irrelevant.
683
01:02:15,565 --> 01:02:18,363
A live human body
and a deceased human body...
684
01:02:18,534 --> 01:02:20,627
...have the same number of particles.
685
01:02:23,372 --> 01:02:25,272
Structurally, there's no difference.
686
01:02:31,881 --> 01:02:34,042
All right. Let's settle down, please.
687
01:02:42,859 --> 01:02:44,087
What about Janey Slater?
688
01:02:44,861 --> 01:02:47,193
You think it makes a difference to her?
689
01:02:48,264 --> 01:02:49,595
Janey?
690
01:02:49,966 --> 01:02:51,490
Your ex-girlfriend?
691
01:02:51,667 --> 01:02:55,296
She was a physicist too.
You saw each other for 1 1 years.
692
01:02:55,471 --> 01:02:56,995
Doug, one question at a time.
693
01:02:57,173 --> 01:03:00,506
She has cancer as well.
Doctors have given her six months.
694
01:03:00,643 --> 01:03:02,508
lsn't that right, Miss Slater?
695
01:03:18,027 --> 01:03:19,824
You were the world to me, Jon.
696
01:03:20,429 --> 01:03:22,659
You were my whole life.
697
01:03:23,633 --> 01:03:26,227
Do you remember how many times
you said you loved me?
698
01:03:26,369 --> 01:03:28,064
Janey, l wasn't told.
699
01:03:28,538 --> 01:03:33,942
l stuck by you after the accident.
l gave you everything.
700
01:03:38,948 --> 01:03:40,643
This is how you repay me?
701
01:03:41,083 --> 01:03:45,986
- Janey, l wasn't told. l didn't know.
- Damn you, Jon. Goddamn you.
702
01:03:46,155 --> 01:03:48,146
Janey, wait.
703
01:03:49,559 --> 01:03:51,993
- That's it. This interview is over.
Get up there.
704
01:03:52,161 --> 01:03:54,561
Get those cameras off.
Everybody back off.
705
01:03:54,697 --> 01:03:58,394
Everybody back off.
l need some backup here. Leave him alone.
706
01:03:58,568 --> 01:04:04,598
Please, if everyone
would just go away...
707
01:04:04,807 --> 01:04:07,708
...and leave me alone...
708
01:04:07,844 --> 01:04:09,243
Do you care to comment?
709
01:04:09,412 --> 01:04:12,438
l said, leave me alone!
710
01:04:23,025 --> 01:04:25,220
l am looking at the stars.
711
01:04:25,728 --> 01:04:27,719
They're so far away...
712
01:04:28,130 --> 01:04:30,826
...and their light takes so long
to reach us...
713
01:04:33,536 --> 01:04:37,734
...all we ever see of stars
are their old photographs.
714
01:04:40,743 --> 01:04:44,577
lt is July, 1 959, and l am in love.
715
01:04:45,448 --> 01:04:47,075
That's great.
716
01:04:47,250 --> 01:04:48,877
- You can pick it up tomorrow.
- okay.
717
01:04:49,051 --> 01:04:50,780
- Seventy-five cents.
- okay, thank you.
718
01:04:50,953 --> 01:04:51,977
Thank you.
719
01:04:52,154 --> 01:04:56,352
Gosh, Jon, l wish he gave us a little notice.
l'm sure l made a face.
720
01:04:56,559 --> 01:05:01,496
oh, no, no.
l'm sure that you'll look beautiful.
721
01:05:05,401 --> 01:05:07,699
Her name is Janey Slater.
722
01:05:08,537 --> 01:05:11,199
She is a physicist, like me.
723
01:05:12,508 --> 01:05:14,237
l am 30 years old.
724
01:05:19,015 --> 01:05:22,917
We were introduced by a good friend
of mine from college, Wally Weaver.
725
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:29,116
lt is February 1 2th, 1 981 .
726
01:05:29,258 --> 01:05:33,024
Wally dies of cancer,
of which they now say l am the cause.
727
01:05:50,579 --> 01:05:53,980
That night, Janey and l make love
for the first time.
728
01:05:59,989 --> 01:06:02,924
A month from now,
the accident awaits me.
729
01:06:10,099 --> 01:06:13,591
oh, l'll catch up with you guys.
l think l left my watch inside.
730
01:06:14,303 --> 01:06:16,498
Hey. Let's just wait a second.
731
01:06:19,308 --> 01:06:23,711
l cross the room to the
lntrinsic Field Center. l find my watch.
732
01:06:30,419 --> 01:06:31,545
When l get to the door...
733
01:06:33,322 --> 01:06:34,516
...Wally is turning white.
734
01:06:34,724 --> 01:06:38,751
The program's locked in.
We can't override the time lock.
735
01:06:40,129 --> 01:06:41,460
l am terrified.
736
01:06:41,630 --> 01:06:42,654
Jon?
737
01:06:48,637 --> 01:06:50,366
l'm sorry, Jon...
738
01:06:52,341 --> 01:06:53,831
...but l can't-
739
01:06:56,145 --> 01:06:57,635
Janey, don't leave me!
740
01:06:58,247 --> 01:07:00,215
Don't leave me!
741
01:07:29,712 --> 01:07:34,308
lt is May 1 2th, 1 959,
when l'm introduced to Janey.
742
01:07:34,717 --> 01:07:36,708
She buys me a beer...
743
01:07:36,852 --> 01:07:39,719
...the first time a woman
has done this for me.
744
01:07:40,423 --> 01:07:43,915
As she passes me the cold,
perspiring glass...
745
01:07:44,226 --> 01:07:46,421
...our fingers touch.
746
01:07:56,639 --> 01:07:58,732
Yes, Jon, good.
747
01:07:58,941 --> 01:08:04,379
Now it's just a question of reassembling
the components in the correct sequence.
748
01:08:08,217 --> 01:08:09,309
l feel fear...
749
01:08:10,586 --> 01:08:12,679
...for the last time.
750
01:08:28,938 --> 01:08:31,236
A token funeral is held.
751
01:08:31,607 --> 01:08:33,575
There is nothing to bury.
752
01:08:33,943 --> 01:08:36,309
Janey frames the snapshot.
753
01:08:36,612 --> 01:08:39,445
lt's the only photograph of me
anyone has.
754
01:08:40,749 --> 01:08:45,618
A circulatory system is seen
by the perimeter fence.
755
01:08:46,021 --> 01:08:47,511
A few days later...
756
01:08:47,656 --> 01:08:50,921
...a partially muscled skeleton
stands in a hallway...
757
01:08:51,060 --> 01:08:54,928
...and screams for a moment
before vanishing.
758
01:09:19,054 --> 01:09:21,079
oh, God.
759
01:09:21,290 --> 01:09:22,780
Jon?
760
01:09:23,826 --> 01:09:25,691
ls that you?
761
01:09:25,928 --> 01:09:29,056
Nations around the world
reeling from this morning's announcement...
762
01:09:29,231 --> 01:09:31,893
...possibly the most significant event
in recent history.
763
01:09:32,034 --> 01:09:35,993
We repeat, the superman exists,
and he is American.
764
01:09:42,511 --> 01:09:45,105
They call me Dr. Manhattan.
765
01:09:55,724 --> 01:09:57,624
They explain the name
has been chosen...
766
01:09:57,826 --> 01:10:02,024
...for the ominous associations
it will raise in America's enemies.
767
01:10:04,033 --> 01:10:07,059
They are shaping me
into something gaudy...
768
01:10:08,137 --> 01:10:10,264
...something lethal.
769
01:10:14,076 --> 01:10:16,567
ln January, 1 97 1 ...
770
01:10:16,779 --> 01:10:20,738
...President Nixon asks me to intervene
in Vietnam...
771
01:10:20,950 --> 01:10:24,249
...something that his predecessors
would not ask.
772
01:10:25,487 --> 01:10:28,354
A week later, the conflict ends.
773
01:10:28,490 --> 01:10:32,950
Some of the Vietcong forces
wanna surrender to me personally.
774
01:10:34,763 --> 01:10:38,358
Hollis Mason, a retired costume hero,
writes a book.
775
01:10:38,567 --> 01:10:42,594
ln it, he calls my arrival
the dawn of the superhero.
776
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,016
l am not sure if l know what that means.
777
01:11:01,223 --> 01:11:04,317
You see, at the time, l was misquoted.
778
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:07,620
l never said, ''The superman exists
and he is American. ''
779
01:11:07,830 --> 01:11:13,769
What l said was, ''God exists,
and he is American. ''
780
01:11:14,270 --> 01:11:16,761
Now, if you begin to feel an intense...
781
01:11:16,939 --> 01:11:20,841
...and crushing feeling of religious terror
at the concept...
782
01:11:21,277 --> 01:11:23,268
...don't be alarmed.
783
01:11:23,946 --> 01:11:27,973
That indicates only
that you are still sane.
784
01:11:29,618 --> 01:11:32,178
lt is Christmas, 1 963.
785
01:11:33,088 --> 01:11:35,852
Janey tells me she is afraid, and worried.
786
01:11:37,593 --> 01:11:39,754
She says l am like a god now.
787
01:11:40,963 --> 01:11:43,158
l tell her l don't think there is a God...
788
01:11:43,999 --> 01:11:46,763
...and if there is, l'm nothing like him.
789
01:11:47,403 --> 01:11:49,871
l tell her l still want her...
790
01:11:50,639 --> 01:11:52,664
...and that l always will.
791
01:11:53,709 --> 01:11:58,373
As l lie to her, it is September 4th, 1 970.
792
01:11:59,214 --> 01:12:02,706
l am in a room
full of people wearing disguises.
793
01:12:03,519 --> 01:12:08,513
A very young girl looks at me and smiles.
794
01:12:09,258 --> 01:12:11,249
She's beautiful.
795
01:12:12,161 --> 01:12:18,157
After each long kiss, she plants a smaller,
gentler one upon my lips...
796
01:12:18,334 --> 01:12:20,325
...like a signature.
797
01:12:21,670 --> 01:12:24,833
Janey accuses me of chasing jailbait.
798
01:12:25,374 --> 01:12:30,641
She bursts into angry tears,
asking if it's because she's getting older.
799
01:12:30,846 --> 01:12:32,643
lt's true.
800
01:12:34,750 --> 01:12:37,742
She's aging more noticeably every day...
801
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,158
...while l am standing still.
802
01:12:48,097 --> 01:12:50,759
l prefer the stillness here.
803
01:12:51,767 --> 01:12:53,860
l am tired of Earth.
804
01:12:54,002 --> 01:12:55,663
These people.
805
01:12:56,271 --> 01:12:59,968
l'm tired of being caught
in the tangle of their lives.
806
01:13:22,731 --> 01:13:26,064
They claim their labors
are to build a heaven...
807
01:13:26,635 --> 01:13:30,127
...yet their heaven is populated
with horrors.
808
01:13:30,639 --> 01:13:33,233
Perhaps the world is not made.
809
01:13:34,276 --> 01:13:36,244
Perhaps nothing is made.
810
01:13:37,146 --> 01:13:40,673
A clock without a craftsman.
811
01:13:41,650 --> 01:13:43,641
lt's too late.
812
01:13:44,052 --> 01:13:45,952
Always has been...
813
01:13:46,588 --> 01:13:48,783
...always will be...
814
01:13:49,358 --> 01:13:50,985
...too late.
815
01:13:56,498 --> 01:13:58,193
Mr. President...
816
01:13:58,567 --> 01:14:02,936
...the Soviets have moved their tanks
to just short of the Afghan border.
817
01:14:03,605 --> 01:14:04,799
They are testing us...
818
01:14:05,007 --> 01:14:09,410
...to see if we manufactured
Dr. Manhattan's disappearance...
819
01:14:09,611 --> 01:14:12,307
...to coax a move out of them.
820
01:14:14,450 --> 01:14:17,817
How soon can we be ready
for a preemptive strike?
821
01:14:19,321 --> 01:14:20,310
Two days.
822
01:14:20,722 --> 01:14:24,419
We have a 54 percent chance
of wiping out the entire U.S.S.R...
823
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:26,619
...before they get their missiles airborne.
824
01:14:27,229 --> 01:14:28,856
Assuming conservative projections...
825
01:14:29,031 --> 01:14:31,727
...of how many Soviet warheads
we destroy beforehand...
826
01:14:32,534 --> 01:14:34,365
...we'll lose all of the East Coast.
827
01:14:35,137 --> 01:14:36,661
The last gasp...
828
01:14:37,573 --> 01:14:40,041
...of the Harvard establishment.
829
01:14:40,476 --> 01:14:43,741
Let's see them think their way
out of fission.
830
01:14:43,946 --> 01:14:47,473
With anticipated wind patterns,
the fallout drift would head south.
831
01:14:47,649 --> 01:14:49,879
Mexico would catch the worst of it.
832
01:14:50,052 --> 01:14:52,145
Most of the farm belt
might remain unaffected.
833
01:14:52,287 --> 01:14:53,948
Not so bad...
834
01:14:54,556 --> 01:14:57,354
...all things considered.
835
01:15:00,162 --> 01:15:01,891
Mr. President...
836
01:15:02,097 --> 01:15:03,689
...what would you like to do?
837
01:15:12,107 --> 01:15:14,405
Take us to DEFCON two.
838
01:15:14,543 --> 01:15:16,511
Begin fueling the bombers.
839
01:15:17,145 --> 01:15:20,046
Dr. Manhattan has two days.
840
01:15:20,516 --> 01:15:22,313
After that...
841
01:15:22,451 --> 01:15:26,114
...humanity is in the hands
of a higher authority than mine.
842
01:15:26,722 --> 01:15:29,657
Let's just hope he's on our side.
843
01:15:30,926 --> 01:15:32,621
Without Dr. Manhattan around...
844
01:15:32,761 --> 01:15:35,662
...to bully the Russians into peace,
Mr. Veidt...
845
01:15:35,831 --> 01:15:40,234
...people are going to need good,
old-fashioned energy to rely on.
846
01:15:40,435 --> 01:15:42,062
You can understand.
847
01:15:42,271 --> 01:15:47,334
The world can't just quit on oil
and nuclear power cold turkey.
848
01:15:47,543 --> 01:15:49,773
You'll dismantle
our entire economy overnight.
849
01:15:49,945 --> 01:15:52,743
You're right, Lee. And why free energy?
850
01:15:52,881 --> 01:15:55,782
Well, ''free'' is just another word
for ''socialist. ''
851
01:15:55,951 --> 01:15:57,942
We might have to
make a public inquiry...
852
01:15:58,086 --> 01:16:01,283
...into any past communist affiliations
you might have had.
853
01:16:01,690 --> 01:16:04,591
Mr. lacocca, gentlemen...
854
01:16:05,727 --> 01:16:07,991
...l respect your position...
855
01:16:08,130 --> 01:16:12,032
...and what you've accomplished
as captains of industry. l do.
856
01:16:12,434 --> 01:16:14,925
You wanna know my past? Hm?
857
01:16:15,737 --> 01:16:18,501
okay. Happily.
858
01:16:18,707 --> 01:16:22,108
lt's a matter of public record that by 1 7,
both my parents were dead...
859
01:16:22,311 --> 01:16:24,142
...leaving me alone.
860
01:16:25,147 --> 01:16:28,514
l guess you could say
l've always been alone.
861
01:16:28,717 --> 01:16:33,620
They say l'm the smartest man in the world,
but the truth is l've often felt stupid...
862
01:16:33,755 --> 01:16:37,247
...at being unable to relate to anyone.
863
01:16:37,426 --> 01:16:40,827
Well, anyone living, that is.
864
01:16:41,029 --> 01:16:42,963
The only person
with whom l felt kinship...
865
01:16:43,131 --> 01:16:46,259
...died 300 years
before the birth of Christ.
866
01:16:46,435 --> 01:16:51,839
Alexander of Macedonia,
or Alexander the Great, as you know him.
867
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:55,032
His vision of a united world was...
868
01:16:58,347 --> 01:17:00,042
Well, it was unprecedented.
869
01:17:00,215 --> 01:17:01,876
l wanted...
870
01:17:02,017 --> 01:17:04,315
...needed to match
his accomplishments...
871
01:17:04,486 --> 01:17:07,683
...so l resolved to apply antiquity's
teachings to our world today.
872
01:17:07,889 --> 01:17:11,381
And so began my path to conquest.
873
01:17:11,526 --> 01:17:14,791
Conquest not of men...
874
01:17:14,930 --> 01:17:17,797
...but of the evils that beset them.
875
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:22,903
Fossil fuels, oil, nuclear power...
876
01:17:23,105 --> 01:17:25,938
...are like a drug, and you,
along with foreign interests...
877
01:17:26,108 --> 01:17:27,700
- ... are the pushers.
- Now, listen.
878
01:17:28,310 --> 01:17:29,902
No.
879
01:17:32,314 --> 01:17:34,111
You listen.
880
01:17:35,417 --> 01:17:37,908
The world will survive...
881
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:41,556
...and it deserves more
than you've been able to provide.
882
01:17:41,723 --> 01:17:44,317
So let's cut to it, shall we?
883
01:17:44,626 --> 01:17:47,117
l'm worth more
than all of your corporations combined.
884
01:17:47,262 --> 01:17:50,823
l could buy and sell you, something
you should factor into your decision...
885
01:17:51,033 --> 01:17:57,336
...should you choose
to make our disagreement public.
886
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,172
l think you know the way out.
887
01:18:02,911 --> 01:18:04,674
Gentlemen.
888
01:18:07,182 --> 01:18:10,674
The toy people wanna talk to you about
new villains for the ozymandias line.
889
01:18:10,819 --> 01:18:14,277
- Seems all the old villains are dead.
- Mr. Veidt?
890
01:18:14,489 --> 01:18:18,016
- l think l have some ideas.
- Mr. Veidt?
891
01:18:18,226 --> 01:18:21,024
l think we got off on the wrong foot.
892
01:18:57,733 --> 01:18:59,428
He's got a poison capsule.
893
01:19:00,068 --> 01:19:04,471
Don't bite down, you son of a bitch.
Who sent you? l want a name.
894
01:19:04,673 --> 01:19:05,765
Give me a name!
895
01:19:17,886 --> 01:19:19,183
Suicide pill.
896
01:19:20,288 --> 01:19:23,189
Potassium cyanide.
Guy was dead before he hit the ground.
897
01:19:23,391 --> 01:19:25,188
Thanks, hon.
898
01:19:25,727 --> 01:19:27,718
Then Rorschach was right.
899
01:19:27,929 --> 01:19:30,090
This wasn't some lone nut.
900
01:19:30,298 --> 01:19:34,394
lt's an organization:
well-funded, well-equipped.
901
01:19:35,403 --> 01:19:37,303
But who'd wanna kill us now?
902
01:19:38,607 --> 01:19:41,735
l don't know, but it's not safe out here.
903
01:19:47,315 --> 01:19:49,249
So no word from Jon?
904
01:19:50,218 --> 01:19:51,810
No.
905
01:19:52,220 --> 01:19:54,120
Well, listen...
906
01:19:54,623 --> 01:19:56,318
...why don't you come stay with me?
907
01:19:57,659 --> 01:20:00,628
oh, no.
That's sweet, but l wouldn't wanna impose.
908
01:20:01,129 --> 01:20:04,530
oh, no. No.
Think of it as doing me a favor.
909
01:20:06,334 --> 01:20:08,666
l wouldn't have to worry about you
being out there.
910
01:20:12,073 --> 01:20:13,335
okay.
911
01:20:16,378 --> 01:20:21,839
Rorschach's journal, October 21 st, 1 985.
912
01:20:21,983 --> 01:20:26,079
On 43rd and 7th, saw Dreiberg
and Jupiter leaving diner.
913
01:20:26,755 --> 01:20:29,451
They didn't know me without my mask.
914
01:20:30,292 --> 01:20:31,953
An affair?
915
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:36,062
Did she break Manhattan's heart
to engineer his exile...
916
01:20:36,264 --> 01:20:38,164
...make room for Dreiberg?
917
01:20:38,967 --> 01:20:42,164
Does Manhattan even have a heart
to break?
918
01:20:46,675 --> 01:20:50,975
Veidt's assassin was a local lowlife
named Roy Chess.
919
01:20:51,580 --> 01:20:54,310
At his apartment, l found clues.
920
01:20:55,483 --> 01:20:59,214
Seems he worked
at Pyramid Transnational.
921
01:21:00,455 --> 01:21:01,752
l've seen the logo before...
922
01:21:03,058 --> 01:21:04,218
...at Moloch's.
923
01:21:08,463 --> 01:21:11,432
Someone tried to shoot
the world's smartest man today, Moloch.
924
01:21:12,234 --> 01:21:15,032
Guy worked for Pyramid Transnational.
925
01:21:15,237 --> 01:21:17,330
More than a just delivery service,
l take it.
926
01:21:17,539 --> 01:21:21,441
Last time l was here, l saw a pension check
written from the same company.
927
01:21:21,643 --> 01:21:25,135
l'm guessing it's a front set up
by whoever wants us masks dead.
928
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:28,875
Now, no more lies, Moloch.
Who runs Pyramid?
929
01:21:33,755 --> 01:21:35,382
FlNE
Rorschach.
930
01:21:35,557 --> 01:21:37,957
This is the police.
We know you're in there.
931
01:21:38,159 --> 01:21:39,990
No. No!
932
01:21:40,161 --> 01:21:43,255
lf there's anybody in there with you,
send them out unharmed.
933
01:21:43,465 --> 01:21:46,400
No. No, no, no!
934
01:21:46,568 --> 01:21:50,971
Framed. Walked right into it.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
935
01:21:51,172 --> 01:21:52,764
Never, never surrender.
936
01:21:52,974 --> 01:21:55,966
All right.
l hope you're ready, hero.
937
01:21:56,111 --> 01:21:57,169
When you are.
938
01:22:19,834 --> 01:22:20,823
one...
939
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:26,932
...two...
940
01:22:30,946 --> 01:22:31,970
...three.
941
01:23:23,965 --> 01:23:25,728
Come on.
942
01:23:36,544 --> 01:23:37,977
Son of a bitch.
943
01:23:38,947 --> 01:23:41,347
- Christ, he stinks.
- Get that mask off him.
944
01:23:41,549 --> 01:23:44,347
- l got it.
- No. No!
945
01:23:44,552 --> 01:23:47,248
My face! Give me back my face!
946
01:23:48,056 --> 01:23:50,684
The masked vigilante Rorschach
was apprehended...
947
01:23:50,892 --> 01:23:54,760
...and identified
as Walter Kovacs, a 35-year-old white male.
948
01:23:54,896 --> 01:23:57,956
Little's known about Kovacs,
but he was charged with the murder...
949
01:23:58,166 --> 01:24:01,897
...of Edgar Jacobi, found shot in the head
in his home in the Bronx.
950
01:24:02,103 --> 01:24:05,095
Police officers were injured
and Jacobi's home was set ablaze...
951
01:24:05,306 --> 01:24:07,831
...during the violent course
of the capture.
952
01:24:11,646 --> 01:24:12,943
Rorschach!
953
01:24:13,114 --> 01:24:16,845
l'm gonna fuck you
like l fucked your mother!
954
01:24:23,525 --> 01:24:26,460
Come on out, Rorschach!
955
01:24:26,628 --> 01:24:28,858
Walter Kovacs.
956
01:24:29,030 --> 01:24:31,931
ls that your name? Walter?
957
01:24:32,067 --> 01:24:36,128
Well, let me explain
your situation here, Walter.
958
01:24:36,337 --> 01:24:37,861
You cooperate with me...
959
01:24:38,039 --> 01:24:42,533
...and l may be able to convince them
that you should be treated medically.
960
01:24:42,744 --> 01:24:46,271
ln a hospital. l believe
that would be good for you.
961
01:24:46,448 --> 01:24:52,478
But the authorities wanna put you
with the general population.
962
01:24:53,354 --> 01:24:56,448
- Prison's a prison.
- Uh-huh. Yes.
963
01:24:57,058 --> 01:25:00,425
But the difference is, down there...
964
01:25:00,995 --> 01:25:02,394
...you'd be eaten alive.
965
01:25:03,331 --> 01:25:07,597
You're responsible for a lot of them
being in prison here, Walter.
966
01:25:10,638 --> 01:25:12,105
Tell me what you see.
967
01:25:17,312 --> 01:25:18,939
A pretty butterfly.
968
01:25:22,750 --> 01:25:24,615
What about now? What do you see here?
969
01:25:29,724 --> 01:25:30,748
Mom?
970
01:25:31,159 --> 01:25:32,524
ls he hurting you?
971
01:25:32,727 --> 01:25:35,560
You got a fucking kid in here.
l get that at home.
972
01:25:35,730 --> 01:25:39,222
Bastard.
l should have had that abortion.
973
01:25:48,943 --> 01:25:50,843
Some nice flowers.
974
01:25:56,551 --> 01:25:58,246
l heard this guy's mom's a whore.
975
01:26:00,488 --> 01:26:03,184
Did you catch any diseases from her?
976
01:26:03,391 --> 01:26:08,192
Huh? Whoreson. Listen to me, retard.
977
01:26:09,497 --> 01:26:12,728
Hey, you think she'd suck my dick
for a dollar?
978
01:26:31,352 --> 01:26:32,512
Clouds.
979
01:26:37,458 --> 01:26:40,154
Tell me about Rorschach.
Will you do that, Walter?
980
01:26:40,361 --> 01:26:43,853
You keep calling me Walter.
l don't like you.
981
01:26:44,966 --> 01:26:49,164
You don't like me.
All right, why is that, exactly?
982
01:26:49,337 --> 01:26:50,736
You're fat.
983
01:26:51,339 --> 01:26:54,433
Wealthy. Liberal sensibilities.
984
01:26:54,842 --> 01:26:57,538
You wanna know about Rorschach?
985
01:26:58,980 --> 01:27:01,073
l'll tell you about Rorschach.
986
01:27:02,917 --> 01:27:05,385
l was investigating a kidnap case.
987
01:27:07,088 --> 01:27:08,988
Blaire Roche.
988
01:27:09,123 --> 01:27:12,581
Six-year-old girl. l was young then.
989
01:27:13,494 --> 01:27:15,792
Too soft on criminals.
990
01:27:16,731 --> 01:27:18,392
l let them live.
991
01:27:19,634 --> 01:27:25,402
Broke a man's arm to get a tip.
Led me to the missing girl's location.
992
01:27:33,014 --> 01:27:35,414
l knew the girl was here...
993
01:27:35,617 --> 01:27:39,109
...but when l searched the place,
l saw nothing.
994
01:27:40,021 --> 01:27:42,421
And then l found her.
995
01:28:34,042 --> 01:28:37,307
lt was dark when the murderer got back.
996
01:28:40,214 --> 01:28:42,512
As dark as it gets.
997
01:29:09,577 --> 01:29:14,412
oh, God.
Who's out there? Who is it?
998
01:29:16,217 --> 01:29:17,377
Who is it?
999
01:29:28,096 --> 01:29:31,532
What? What the fuck?
Who the fuck are you?
1000
01:29:31,699 --> 01:29:36,193
What the fuck do you want?
You killed my dogs, man!
1001
01:29:41,209 --> 01:29:45,737
You think l had something to do
with that girl? l found that.
1002
01:29:45,913 --> 01:29:48,404
What evidence have you got?
That's nothing.
1003
01:29:56,324 --> 01:29:59,122
okay. l confess.
1004
01:30:00,328 --> 01:30:03,024
l kidnapped her. l killed her.
1005
01:30:03,831 --> 01:30:05,230
Arrest me.
1006
01:30:06,033 --> 01:30:07,728
What? Arrest me!
1007
01:30:09,337 --> 01:30:11,328
l did it! l said l did it!
1008
01:30:11,472 --> 01:30:12,939
Christ.
1009
01:30:13,074 --> 01:30:17,374
Look, l've got a problem, man.
Fucking take me in. l need help.
1010
01:30:18,179 --> 01:30:24,948
No, don't. Don't do that.
Take me in. Don't! No!
1011
01:30:29,891 --> 01:30:33,383
Men get arrested.
1012
01:30:34,862 --> 01:30:36,853
Dogs get put down.
1013
01:30:41,669 --> 01:30:43,864
Tremors of impact shook my arm.
1014
01:30:45,273 --> 01:30:47,571
Warm blood splashed my face.
1015
01:30:48,810 --> 01:30:52,906
Whatever was left of Walter Kovacs
died that night with that little girl.
1016
01:30:53,915 --> 01:30:56,179
From then on, there was only Rorschach.
1017
01:30:57,685 --> 01:31:00,415
See, doctor, God didn't kill that little girl.
1018
01:31:00,855 --> 01:31:05,019
Fate didn't butcher her
and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs.
1019
01:31:06,227 --> 01:31:09,663
lf God saw what any of us did that night,
he didn't seem to mind.
1020
01:31:11,566 --> 01:31:13,431
From then on, l knew:
1021
01:31:14,735 --> 01:31:17,067
God doesn't make the world this way.
1022
01:31:19,073 --> 01:31:20,563
We do.
1023
01:31:21,242 --> 01:31:22,436
Hey, Rorschach.
1024
01:31:24,045 --> 01:31:26,036
Hey, you're pretty famous, right?
1025
01:31:26,781 --> 01:31:28,874
Rorschach, l heard your mother
was a whore.
1026
01:31:29,050 --> 01:31:32,645
Hey, you know what?
l'm pretty famous too.
1027
01:31:32,787 --> 01:31:35,347
- Ain't that right? That's right.
That's right.
1028
01:31:36,991 --> 01:31:40,188
Maybe l can give you an autograph.
What you say, big boy?
1029
01:31:55,476 --> 01:31:59,003
None of you seem to understand.
l'm not locked in here with you.
1030
01:31:59,180 --> 01:32:01,205
All right, that's it!
1031
01:32:02,049 --> 01:32:04,517
You're locked in here with me.
1032
01:33:06,347 --> 01:33:07,405
Laurie!
1033
01:33:08,616 --> 01:33:09,947
Shit.
1034
01:33:10,952 --> 01:33:12,852
Hold on.
- Fuck.
1035
01:33:16,123 --> 01:33:17,613
l got it, l got it, l got it.
1036
01:33:22,330 --> 01:33:25,731
l'm so sorry. l was snooping
and must have hit the wrong button.
1037
01:33:25,933 --> 01:33:27,332
- Are you hurt?
- No, no.
1038
01:33:27,535 --> 01:33:30,629
- okay.
- l'm fine. l just feel so bad.
1039
01:33:30,771 --> 01:33:32,762
No, don't worry.
1040
01:33:32,940 --> 01:33:36,239
lt's happened before.
Comedian did it back in '77.
1041
01:33:37,345 --> 01:33:39,176
Archie survived that.
1042
01:33:39,647 --> 01:33:40,944
Archie?
1043
01:33:41,682 --> 01:33:45,140
oh. Well, uh, short for Archimedes...
1044
01:33:45,353 --> 01:33:46,843
...Merlin's pet owl.
1045
01:33:47,955 --> 01:33:49,650
Stupid nickname.
1046
01:33:50,691 --> 01:33:53,455
How did you ever afford
all this stuff, anyway?
1047
01:33:53,661 --> 01:33:59,156
Well, my dad was in corporate banking
and left me a lot of money when he died...
1048
01:33:59,900 --> 01:34:03,199
...which always surprised me.
l mean, he was...
1049
01:34:03,838 --> 01:34:06,500
l think he was disappointed
l went into crime fighting...
1050
01:34:06,641 --> 01:34:08,336
...instead of following him.
1051
01:34:09,110 --> 01:34:16,107
Guess l was just more interested in
birds and airplanes, mythology and...
1052
01:34:17,518 --> 01:34:20,214
Must be nice having a secret identity.
1053
01:34:20,855 --> 01:34:23,016
A secret place that nobody knows about.
1054
01:34:23,224 --> 01:34:28,218
You can just come down here and hang out
without anyone checking up on you.
1055
01:34:29,730 --> 01:34:32,062
Nobody watching you.
1056
01:34:35,436 --> 01:34:36,460
Wanna try those on?
1057
01:34:47,248 --> 01:34:48,943
There we go.
1058
01:34:52,086 --> 01:34:54,077
Wow, these rock.
1059
01:34:56,957 --> 01:34:59,255
They amplify the spectral range.
1060
01:34:59,460 --> 01:35:01,485
Thermal imaging.
1061
01:35:03,197 --> 01:35:05,131
They work even better in the dark.
1062
01:35:10,104 --> 01:35:11,833
You can see me, right?
1063
01:35:14,008 --> 01:35:16,704
l can see everything.
1064
01:35:19,413 --> 01:35:22,905
l remember, no matter how black it got...
1065
01:35:23,250 --> 01:35:27,414
...whenever l looked through those goggles,
everything was as clear as day.
1066
01:35:29,724 --> 01:35:32,022
This must be the way Jon sees the world.
1067
01:35:34,562 --> 01:35:37,429
We should probably head up.
Food's getting cold.
1068
01:35:37,631 --> 01:35:39,724
Put those away when you're done.
1069
01:35:48,442 --> 01:35:50,535
Soviets are
finding themselves bogged down...
1070
01:35:50,678 --> 01:35:52,441
...in bloody house-to-house fighting.
1071
01:35:52,580 --> 01:35:55,140
Casualties on both sides
are said to be in the hundreds.
1072
01:35:55,349 --> 01:35:58,375
Civilian deaths are also alarmingly high.
1073
01:35:58,552 --> 01:36:00,213
Dan.
1074
01:36:00,921 --> 01:36:02,684
Jon sees a lot of things...
1075
01:36:05,092 --> 01:36:07,390
...but he doesn't see me.
1076
01:36:14,535 --> 01:36:16,093
Well, uh...
1077
01:37:09,690 --> 01:37:10,987
Sorry.
1078
01:37:13,027 --> 01:37:14,324
Come here.
1079
01:37:20,301 --> 01:37:21,598
What's the matter?
1080
01:37:21,735 --> 01:37:24,203
- lf you could just move a little...
- okay.
1081
01:37:24,338 --> 01:37:25,396
Yeah. There you go.
1082
01:37:25,539 --> 01:37:27,700
Soviet ambassador to the U.N.
had no comment...
1083
01:37:27,908 --> 01:37:30,138
...when asked if Dr. Manhattan's
disappearance...
1084
01:37:30,311 --> 01:37:32,905
...has fueled Soviet aggression
in Afghanistan.
1085
01:37:33,113 --> 01:37:35,707
Dan, what's wrong?
1086
01:37:37,418 --> 01:37:38,510
Sorry, l...
1087
01:37:40,654 --> 01:37:42,918
Yeah, l just need a couple minutes.
1088
01:37:45,125 --> 01:37:47,116
oh, hell.
1089
01:37:48,929 --> 01:37:51,261
lt's been a long time, Rorschach.
1090
01:37:51,932 --> 01:37:53,422
Big Figure.
1091
01:37:53,767 --> 01:37:55,632
Small world.
1092
01:37:56,937 --> 01:37:58,427
l like that.
1093
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:01,572
But you know, it is a small world in here.
1094
01:38:01,976 --> 01:38:04,774
And l've been in it for,
how long now, Lloyd?
1095
01:38:04,912 --> 01:38:07,073
Almost 1 5 years, Mr. Figure.
1096
01:38:07,381 --> 01:38:08,712
That's right.
1097
01:38:09,717 --> 01:38:13,209
Fifteen years since you
and that owl fella put me away.
1098
01:38:16,223 --> 01:38:17,383
So...
1099
01:38:17,925 --> 01:38:22,692
...Rorschach, that guy you burned is dying.
Could go any minute.
1100
01:38:22,897 --> 01:38:28,096
You know, by my count, there are more
than 50 people in here that you put away.
1101
01:38:28,235 --> 01:38:32,604
l been talking to every one of them
and they're all dying to get a piece of you.
1102
01:38:32,740 --> 01:38:36,039
This place is gonna explode!
1103
01:38:37,611 --> 01:38:40,307
Then, you die by inches.
1104
01:38:41,215 --> 01:38:42,910
Tall order.
1105
01:38:43,117 --> 01:38:45,608
l'm gonna tear this guy a new hole.
1106
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:49,312
Relax, Lawrence. Soon.
1107
01:38:50,124 --> 01:38:51,455
Come on.
1108
01:40:12,940 --> 01:40:14,237
Dan?
1109
01:40:21,081 --> 01:40:22,742
ls everything all right?
1110
01:40:25,085 --> 01:40:28,054
l'm tired of being afraid.
1111
01:40:29,089 --> 01:40:31,455
Afraid of war...
1112
01:40:32,292 --> 01:40:35,853
...afraid of the mask killer...
1113
01:40:37,464 --> 01:40:40,661
...and afraid of this goddamn suit...
1114
01:40:40,868 --> 01:40:42,802
...and how much l need it.
1115
01:40:43,670 --> 01:40:45,297
Me too.
1116
01:40:46,807 --> 01:40:48,104
So to hell with it.
1117
01:40:48,976 --> 01:40:50,307
Let's take Archie out.
1118
01:40:56,283 --> 01:40:57,375
You're serious.
1119
01:40:57,584 --> 01:41:00,075
l used to be a masked avenger too,
remember?
1120
01:41:00,254 --> 01:41:03,417
l'm used to going out at 3 in the morning
and doing something stupid.
1121
01:42:05,419 --> 01:42:07,250
Rapid burner. Be advised, all units.
1122
01:42:07,421 --> 01:42:10,015
Tenement fire at 5th and Grand.
Rapid burner.
1123
01:42:10,157 --> 01:42:11,522
Let's go.
1124
01:42:16,330 --> 01:42:18,662
l can see it.
All right, hold on.
1125
01:42:29,643 --> 01:42:30,940
Dan, there are kids in there.
1126
01:42:31,145 --> 01:42:33,272
Everyone, stay where you are
and remain calm.
1127
01:42:33,447 --> 01:42:35,642
We're gonna get you out of there.
1128
01:42:35,849 --> 01:42:37,976
The roof's starting to cave.
Get me in there.
1129
01:42:38,152 --> 01:42:39,642
l'm gonna get you close.
1130
01:43:38,378 --> 01:43:39,743
Let's go.
1131
01:43:39,947 --> 01:43:42,040
Watch your step.
All right.
1132
01:43:44,384 --> 01:43:45,442
We're all set.
1133
01:43:46,453 --> 01:43:48,148
ls that everyone?
1134
01:44:12,646 --> 01:44:14,944
Bye.
Bye!
1135
01:44:18,552 --> 01:44:20,110
l can't believe we did that.
1136
01:44:22,122 --> 01:44:24,556
- They'll lock us up with Rorschach.
- Who cares?
1137
01:44:24,758 --> 01:44:26,726
World War lll could start tomorrow.
1138
01:44:28,829 --> 01:44:30,160
Right?
1139
01:44:31,832 --> 01:44:33,163
Right.
1140
01:46:39,826 --> 01:46:41,726
Come back here!
1141
01:46:44,331 --> 01:46:46,026
He's dead, Rorschach.
1142
01:46:46,166 --> 01:46:50,364
While everyone's distracted, we thought
we'd bring you a housewarming gift.
1143
01:46:50,537 --> 01:46:52,732
Something from the machine shop.
1144
01:46:54,341 --> 01:46:55,933
Hey, boss, you notice?
1145
01:46:56,143 --> 01:46:59,135
None of that ''small world,
tall order'' crap.
1146
01:46:59,346 --> 01:47:02,474
He knows once we slice open his lock,
he's next on the block.
1147
01:47:02,916 --> 01:47:04,076
Fat chance.
1148
01:47:04,785 --> 01:47:05,877
You're dead, Rorschach!
1149
01:47:06,086 --> 01:47:09,715
We got a prison full of killers out here.
What do you got?
1150
01:47:12,692 --> 01:47:15,126
Your hands, my pleasure.
1151
01:47:17,130 --> 01:47:19,098
Can't reach the lock. Should l cut the bars?
1152
01:47:19,299 --> 01:47:22,598
This riot won't last.
l been waiting 1 5 years for this.
1153
01:47:23,737 --> 01:47:27,104
l'm sorry, Lawrence, but you're in the way
of my revenge.
1154
01:47:30,811 --> 01:47:32,540
Nothing personal, big guy.
1155
01:47:34,014 --> 01:47:36,005
Boss! Wait!
1156
01:47:49,329 --> 01:47:51,126
Now you find out what the score is.
1157
01:47:51,531 --> 01:47:54,659
one-nothing. Come and get me.
1158
01:48:00,674 --> 01:48:02,301
Come on.
1159
01:48:02,476 --> 01:48:04,103
So l've been thinking.
1160
01:48:04,978 --> 01:48:09,176
l feel that we have an obligation
to our fraternity.
1161
01:48:09,983 --> 01:48:13,077
- l think we ought to spring Rorschach.
What?
1162
01:48:13,220 --> 01:48:14,983
Someone set him up.
1163
01:48:15,822 --> 01:48:19,417
And this whole cancer thing with Jon,
it just doesn't make sense.
1164
01:48:19,626 --> 01:48:21,594
You didn't get it.
1165
01:48:21,895 --> 01:48:24,295
Yeah, but breaking
into a maximum-security prison...
1166
01:48:24,498 --> 01:48:28,127
- ... is a little different than putting out a fire.
- Yeah, you're right.
1167
01:48:29,035 --> 01:48:30,900
lt'll be more fun.
1168
01:48:35,041 --> 01:48:38,033
Hurry, Lloyd. l wanna
smell this son of a bitch cooking.
1169
01:48:43,316 --> 01:48:45,045
Yes.
1170
01:48:49,823 --> 01:48:50,812
No.
1171
01:49:04,704 --> 01:49:09,573
Never disposed of sewage
with a toilet before. obvious, really.
1172
01:49:10,377 --> 01:49:13,676
Two-nothing. Your move.
1173
01:49:16,683 --> 01:49:17,775
Get out of the way!
1174
01:49:51,451 --> 01:49:53,009
No. No.
1175
01:49:53,653 --> 01:49:55,052
Where's my face?
1176
01:49:57,624 --> 01:49:59,319
Don't kill me.
1177
01:50:03,029 --> 01:50:04,428
Your turn, doctor.
1178
01:50:04,564 --> 01:50:07,761
Tell me, what do you see?
1179
01:51:33,953 --> 01:51:35,682
Don't move!
1180
01:51:43,963 --> 01:51:45,760
Rorschach.
1181
01:51:46,266 --> 01:51:49,064
Daniel. Miss Jupiter.
1182
01:51:49,202 --> 01:51:52,603
Excuse me. Have to visit men's room.
1183
01:51:53,173 --> 01:51:55,107
oh, for chrissake.
1184
01:52:55,969 --> 01:52:58,062
Are you all right?
1185
01:52:59,506 --> 01:53:01,633
Yeah. Just...
1186
01:53:02,108 --> 01:53:03,336
...heavy, you know?
1187
01:53:04,144 --> 01:53:06,237
War, jailbreak.
1188
01:53:06,813 --> 01:53:11,716
Don't worry about it. okay?
Everything's gonna be fine.
1189
01:53:16,723 --> 01:53:19,715
- Hello, Laurie.
- Jon.
1190
01:53:19,926 --> 01:53:23,521
- TV said you were on Mars.
- l am on Mars.
1191
01:53:24,130 --> 01:53:26,530
You and l are about
to have a conversation there.
1192
01:53:26,666 --> 01:53:28,133
What are you talking about?
1193
01:53:28,334 --> 01:53:30,962
You're going to try to convince me
to save the world.
1194
01:53:36,876 --> 01:53:39,868
- Laurie, don't.
- Dan, trust me.
1195
01:53:40,046 --> 01:53:41,741
l have to go.
1196
01:53:47,453 --> 01:53:49,387
Beautiful, isn't it?
1197
01:53:54,260 --> 01:53:57,195
Forgive me. These things sometimes
slip my mind.
1198
01:53:58,598 --> 01:54:00,395
lt won't happen again.
1199
01:54:02,035 --> 01:54:04,026
That's comforting.
1200
01:54:06,406 --> 01:54:08,033
oh, my God.
1201
01:54:08,708 --> 01:54:10,539
l'm on Mars.
1202
01:54:12,045 --> 01:54:16,414
We need to hit up
underworld contacts, squeeze people.
1203
01:54:16,616 --> 01:54:19,312
Sure, why don't we just pick names
out of a phone book?
1204
01:54:19,519 --> 01:54:21,612
You forgot how we do things, Daniel.
1205
01:54:21,821 --> 01:54:26,258
You've gone too soft. Too trusting.
Especially with women.
1206
01:54:26,426 --> 01:54:28,519
okay, no. Listen, l've had it with that.
1207
01:54:28,728 --> 01:54:30,719
God, who do you
think you are, Rorschach?
1208
01:54:30,930 --> 01:54:33,023
You live off people
while insulting them...
1209
01:54:33,166 --> 01:54:36,966
...and no one complains because they think
you're a goddamn lunatic.
1210
01:54:48,982 --> 01:54:50,779
l'm sorry.
1211
01:54:53,486 --> 01:54:55,647
l shouldn't have said that, man.
1212
01:54:57,657 --> 01:54:58,988
Daniel...
1213
01:55:00,426 --> 01:55:02,894
...you are a good friend.
1214
01:55:05,798 --> 01:55:08,926
l know it can be difficult
with me sometimes.
1215
01:55:15,441 --> 01:55:16,931
Forget it.
1216
01:55:18,111 --> 01:55:19,806
lt's okay, man.
1217
01:55:21,047 --> 01:55:22,639
Let's do it your way.
1218
01:55:41,734 --> 01:55:43,031
oh, God.
1219
01:55:43,236 --> 01:55:47,570
Pyramid Transnational.
Anyone heard of it?
1220
01:55:55,081 --> 01:55:56,548
oh, you bastards.
1221
01:55:56,749 --> 01:55:59,843
l buy everyone a round
and you sell me out like this?
1222
01:56:00,987 --> 01:56:04,286
Back off, or l'll stick this glass
in your squidgy face.
1223
01:56:05,992 --> 01:56:08,927
Everybody stay calm.
We'll try to keep this brief.
1224
01:56:09,095 --> 01:56:11,393
Roy Chess. on Pyramid payroll.
1225
01:56:11,597 --> 01:56:16,091
Tried to kill Adrian Veidt. Dead now.
Did you know him?
1226
01:56:16,235 --> 01:56:17,930
No.
1227
01:56:19,305 --> 01:56:20,533
Yeah, yeah!
1228
01:56:20,707 --> 01:56:23,642
- l hired him. l knew him from the inside.
- You're a felon.
1229
01:56:23,810 --> 01:56:26,802
l was. l've been straight
ever since l got out, l swear.
1230
01:56:26,946 --> 01:56:30,712
l barely knew Chess that well,
but l was told to hire from the old life.
1231
01:56:30,917 --> 01:56:34,444
- Told by whom?
- My contact, Miss Slater.
1232
01:56:34,654 --> 01:56:37,248
Janey Slater works for Pyramid too?
1233
01:56:37,423 --> 01:56:41,416
Yeah, she was real nice. She said hiring
ex-cons was part of the company program.
1234
01:56:41,561 --> 01:56:45,258
Give people a second chance.
God, please let go! l'm telling the truth!
1235
01:56:49,435 --> 01:56:52,632
Janey Slater, Manhattan's old girlfriend.
1236
01:56:52,839 --> 01:56:55,535
Adrian might help us
find out who's underwriting Pyramid.
1237
01:56:55,675 --> 01:56:57,142
Follow the money.
1238
01:56:59,579 --> 01:57:02,673
This is where we hold our conversation.
1239
01:57:03,483 --> 01:57:08,477
ln it, you ask me
to stop the imminent nuclear war.
1240
01:57:09,088 --> 01:57:11,716
But why would l save a world...
1241
01:57:11,891 --> 01:57:14,189
...l no longer have any stake in?
1242
01:57:16,295 --> 01:57:18,320
Then do it for me.
1243
01:57:19,198 --> 01:57:20,597
lf you really care.
1244
01:57:20,800 --> 01:57:24,201
When you left me, l left Earth.
1245
01:57:24,404 --> 01:57:27,305
Does that not show you that l care?
1246
01:57:30,510 --> 01:57:33,411
My red world here, now...
1247
01:57:34,447 --> 01:57:37,348
...means more to me than your blue one.
1248
01:57:38,117 --> 01:57:39,812
Let me show you.
1249
01:57:57,970 --> 01:58:00,871
Bombers are fueled and ready, sir.
1250
01:58:10,216 --> 01:58:12,411
lt's time, gentlemen.
1251
01:58:14,587 --> 01:58:16,987
Take us to DEFCoN one.
1252
01:58:22,328 --> 01:58:25,422
Not in penthouse. Not in office.
1253
01:58:25,598 --> 01:58:28,499
What nocturnal proclivities
entice a man with everything...
1254
01:58:28,701 --> 01:58:30,430
...out into the night at this hour?
1255
01:58:30,603 --> 01:58:32,400
l'm gonna look for Adrian's itinerary.
1256
01:58:32,538 --> 01:58:35,302
Maybe he keeps on file.
1257
01:58:40,012 --> 01:58:42,446
- Something's not right.
- Agreed.
1258
01:58:42,648 --> 01:58:47,415
Janey Slater, Moloch, Roy Chess
all work for Pyramid.
1259
01:58:47,620 --> 01:58:52,216
Moloch said the Comedian mentioned list
with his and Slater's name on it.
1260
01:58:52,425 --> 01:58:55,724
Whoever owns Pyramid
could be giving these people cancer.
1261
01:58:55,862 --> 01:58:58,330
Setting Manhattan up.
1262
01:59:12,411 --> 01:59:13,571
Funny.
1263
01:59:13,779 --> 01:59:17,271
Ancient pharaohs looked forward
to the end of the world.
1264
01:59:17,483 --> 01:59:22,477
Believed cadavers would rise,
reclaim hearts from golden jars.
1265
01:59:23,122 --> 01:59:25,784
Must currently be holding breath
in anticipation.
1266
01:59:25,925 --> 01:59:27,187
Pharaohs?
1267
01:59:34,033 --> 01:59:36,092
Got a psych profile on Manhattan.
1268
01:59:36,702 --> 01:59:39,193
See what the corporate head-peepers say.
1269
01:59:41,207 --> 01:59:43,732
''Subject continues
to retreat emotionally.
1270
01:59:46,045 --> 01:59:49,105
lf the only remaining ties
were to be severed...
1271
01:59:49,749 --> 01:59:53,708
...we predict total detachment
from the human condition. ''
1272
01:59:57,823 --> 01:59:59,620
l'm in.
1273
02:00:28,487 --> 02:00:29,852
No.
1274
02:00:31,991 --> 02:00:37,759
Congratulations, Mr. Veidt.
Dr. Manhattan's energy reactor is online.
1275
02:00:37,964 --> 02:00:41,798
Your support and your enthusiasm...
1276
02:00:41,968 --> 02:00:44,266
...is what has led to this triumph.
1277
02:00:44,470 --> 02:00:48,463
on behalf of the research team,
we salute you.
1278
02:00:48,674 --> 02:00:51,074
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
1279
02:00:51,877 --> 02:00:55,973
What in life
does not deserve celebrating?
1280
02:00:56,983 --> 02:01:00,942
This is the new Karnak.
1281
02:01:01,153 --> 02:01:04,748
This represents the culmination of a dream
more than 2000 years old...
1282
02:01:04,924 --> 02:01:11,227
...a dream now assured
because of your unquestioning assistance.
1283
02:01:13,332 --> 02:01:15,027
And for this...
1284
02:01:15,835 --> 02:01:18,167
...l am ashamed...
1285
02:01:19,338 --> 02:01:23,672
...ashamed that you must now share
such inadequate a reward.
1286
02:01:25,344 --> 02:01:27,335
To the pharaohs...
1287
02:01:28,281 --> 02:01:31,273
...their greatest secrets
entrusted to their servants...
1288
02:01:31,951 --> 02:01:36,285
...buried alive with them
in sand-floored chambers.
1289
02:01:37,156 --> 02:01:39,556
Sleep well, gentlemen.
1290
02:01:40,259 --> 02:01:43,558
our new, peaceful world
will be indebted...
1291
02:01:43,896 --> 02:01:46,456
...to your great sacrifice.
1292
02:01:47,400 --> 02:01:49,595
Bubastis.
1293
02:01:53,773 --> 02:01:56,765
Rorschach's journal. Final entry.
1294
02:01:57,109 --> 02:01:59,600
Veidt's behind everything.
1295
02:01:59,779 --> 02:02:01,303
Why?
1296
02:02:01,514 --> 02:02:03,539
What's his endgame?
1297
02:02:03,749 --> 02:02:07,412
l cannot imagine
a more dangerous opponent.
1298
02:02:07,620 --> 02:02:11,056
Used to joke he was fast enough
to catch a bullet.
1299
02:02:11,223 --> 02:02:14,124
He could kill us both alone in the snow.
1300
02:02:14,327 --> 02:02:18,024
That's where we're going now:
Antarctica.
1301
02:02:18,164 --> 02:02:20,928
Whether l'm alive or dead
upon this reading...
1302
02:02:21,133 --> 02:02:25,365
...l hope the world survives long enough
for this journal to reach you.
1303
02:02:25,538 --> 02:02:28,132
l live my life free of compromise...
1304
02:02:28,274 --> 02:02:32,233
...and step into the shadow
without complaint or regret.
1305
02:02:32,845 --> 02:02:35,837
Rorschach, November 1 st.
1306
02:02:36,048 --> 02:02:39,540
Can't you just tell me how
this ends and save us the trouble?
1307
02:02:40,553 --> 02:02:42,453
lt ends with you in tears.
1308
02:02:42,655 --> 02:02:46,250
Tears? So you don't come back to Earth.
1309
02:02:46,392 --> 02:02:49,850
At some point, yes.
1310
02:02:50,896 --> 02:02:53,865
The streets are filled with death.
1311
02:02:53,999 --> 02:02:56,058
Jon, please.
1312
02:02:56,268 --> 02:03:00,728
You have to stop this. Everyone will die.
1313
02:03:00,906 --> 02:03:05,240
And the universe will not even notice.
1314
02:03:07,713 --> 02:03:11,911
ln my opinion, the existence of life...
1315
02:03:12,818 --> 02:03:15,810
...is a highly overrated phenomenon.
1316
02:03:17,723 --> 02:03:20,021
Just look around you.
1317
02:03:22,762 --> 02:03:27,131
Mars gets along perfectly well
without so much as a microorganism.
1318
02:03:27,733 --> 02:03:32,329
Here, it's a constantly changing
topographical map...
1319
02:03:32,471 --> 02:03:38,432
...flowing and shifting around the pole
in ripples 1 0,000 years wide.
1320
02:03:39,245 --> 02:03:40,735
So tell me...
1321
02:03:40,946 --> 02:03:45,349
...how would all of this be greatly improved
by an oil pipeline?
1322
02:03:45,785 --> 02:03:47,753
By a shopping mall?
1323
02:03:52,158 --> 02:03:56,458
So it's too much to ask for a miracle?
1324
02:03:56,595 --> 02:03:58,756
Miracles, by their definition,
are meaningless.
1325
02:03:58,898 --> 02:04:00,331
oh, God, Jon!
1326
02:04:00,499 --> 02:04:05,596
- only what can happen does happen.
- Just stop your bullshit.
1327
02:04:06,639 --> 02:04:09,199
Land this thing. Now.
1328
02:04:09,341 --> 02:04:11,901
JoN:
As you wish.
1329
02:04:17,550 --> 02:04:18,608
You know what?
1330
02:04:18,818 --> 02:04:21,446
You can send me back to Earth
to fry with Dan and my mom...
1331
02:04:21,654 --> 02:04:24,020
...and all the other worthless humans.
1332
02:04:24,223 --> 02:04:27,624
But know that you were wrong.
You said this ended with me in tears...
1333
02:04:27,827 --> 02:04:31,957
...and look: nothing.
Maybe you were wrong about everything.
1334
02:04:32,131 --> 02:04:37,433
You complain that l refuse to see life
on life's terms...
1335
02:04:38,137 --> 02:04:41,937
...yet you continuously refuse
to see things from my perspective.
1336
02:04:42,074 --> 02:04:46,477
- You shut out what you're afraid of.
- l'm not afraid.
1337
02:04:46,645 --> 02:04:51,673
You want me to see things your way?
Go ahead, show me. Do that thing you do.
1338
02:04:58,858 --> 02:05:03,886
Magic. Dreams. That is what l had before.
l was a hero, goddamn it!
1339
02:05:04,096 --> 02:05:07,122
lt's not my fault you got old.
What do you have to complain about?
1340
02:05:07,299 --> 02:05:09,426
l put food on the table
for you and your child.
1341
02:05:09,602 --> 02:05:12,400
Call your friend Eddie.
Maybe he can give you a better life.
1342
02:05:13,138 --> 02:05:15,834
Even the grimy parts of it...
1343
02:05:16,208 --> 02:05:18,438
...keep on getting brighter.
1344
02:05:18,811 --> 02:05:20,608
You're Sally Jupiter's kid.
1345
02:05:21,514 --> 02:05:23,311
You're the Comedian, right?
1346
02:05:24,116 --> 02:05:25,811
You were pretty cool in there.
1347
02:05:26,218 --> 02:05:29,813
You know, your mom, she was one
of the all-time champion beauties.
1348
02:05:30,022 --> 02:05:34,425
- You got her eyes, you know. You got-
- Take your hands off her.
1349
02:05:34,627 --> 02:05:36,720
Hey, doll. Long time no see.
1350
02:05:36,929 --> 02:05:39,659
Not long enough in my book, Eddie.
Get in the car.
1351
02:05:40,165 --> 02:05:42,030
Now.
1352
02:05:43,035 --> 02:05:45,026
Are there no depths you won't sink to?
1353
02:05:45,170 --> 02:05:49,038
Jesus Christ, Sally.
Can't a guy talk to his...
1354
02:05:49,742 --> 02:05:51,437
...you know, old friend's daughter?
1355
02:05:53,746 --> 02:05:55,043
Drive.
1356
02:06:01,020 --> 02:06:03,818
lt was a mistake. One time.
1357
02:06:04,123 --> 02:06:07,286
Guy tries to rape you, and years later,
you let him finish the job?
1358
02:06:07,526 --> 02:06:10,222
What? Were you drunk or just lonely?
1359
02:06:10,396 --> 02:06:13,331
Am l ever gonna live this down?
1360
02:06:16,702 --> 02:06:17,828
Laurie.
1361
02:06:22,708 --> 02:06:24,039
No.
1362
02:06:26,045 --> 02:06:28,536
No, not him.
1363
02:06:28,747 --> 02:06:30,806
The Comedian...
1364
02:06:31,250 --> 02:06:33,309
...was your father.
1365
02:06:34,820 --> 02:06:36,515
No.
1366
02:06:39,825 --> 02:06:45,525
No! No! No!
1367
02:07:18,097 --> 02:07:20,088
My life is just...
1368
02:07:20,799 --> 02:07:22,892
...one big joke.
1369
02:07:23,102 --> 02:07:25,627
l don't think your life is a joke.
1370
02:07:27,306 --> 02:07:29,297
Yeah, well...
1371
02:07:31,110 --> 02:07:35,308
...l'm sorry if l don't
trust your sense of humor.
1372
02:07:43,522 --> 02:07:45,149
Will you smile...
1373
02:07:46,825 --> 02:07:49,316
...if l admit l was wrong?
1374
02:07:52,164 --> 02:07:54,155
About what?
1375
02:07:56,168 --> 02:07:57,658
Miracles.
1376
02:07:59,338 --> 02:08:02,466
Events with astronomical odds
of occurring...
1377
02:08:03,275 --> 02:08:05,766
...like oxygen turning into gold.
1378
02:08:05,978 --> 02:08:10,779
l've longed to witness such an event,
and yet l neglect...
1379
02:08:11,483 --> 02:08:13,883
...that in human coupling...
1380
02:08:14,687 --> 02:08:18,521
...millions upon millions of cells
compete to create life...
1381
02:08:18,991 --> 02:08:21,789
...for generation after generation...
1382
02:08:22,695 --> 02:08:25,721
...until finally, your mother...
1383
02:08:26,098 --> 02:08:27,292
...loves a man...
1384
02:08:27,933 --> 02:08:31,528
...Edward Blake, the Comedian,
a man she has every reason to hate...
1385
02:08:31,704 --> 02:08:35,697
...and out of that contradiction,
against unfathomable odds...
1386
02:08:36,408 --> 02:08:38,308
...it's you-
1387
02:08:40,012 --> 02:08:41,343
only...
1388
02:08:42,047 --> 02:08:43,514
...you.
1389
02:08:44,416 --> 02:08:45,610
- that emerged.
1390
02:08:46,218 --> 02:08:50,712
To distill so specific a form...
1391
02:08:50,923 --> 02:08:53,153
...from all that chaos...
1392
02:08:55,060 --> 02:08:58,029
...is like turning air into gold.
1393
02:09:02,367 --> 02:09:04,358
A miracle.
1394
02:09:07,873 --> 02:09:09,363
And so...
1395
02:09:09,875 --> 02:09:11,672
...l was wrong.
1396
02:09:13,679 --> 02:09:17,513
Now dry your eyes, and let's go home.
1397
02:09:45,110 --> 02:09:49,103
We got a bearing on that artificial structure.
Heat signature's off the charts.
1398
02:09:50,115 --> 02:09:53,209
- Veidt.
- l don't like the way Archie's kicking.
1399
02:10:01,627 --> 02:10:04,460
- The engines.
- They're icing up. Hold onto something.
1400
02:10:05,230 --> 02:10:07,255
Daniel, you're coming in too low.
1401
02:10:10,135 --> 02:10:13,332
Don't wish to interfere,
but perhaps should pull up sharply-
1402
02:10:13,472 --> 02:10:17,431
l know! l'm trying.
l'm trying to pull him up, goddamn it!
1403
02:10:44,703 --> 02:10:48,366
l'm gonna redirect the heat from
the flamethrower to speed up deicing...
1404
02:10:48,507 --> 02:10:51,374
...but it's gonna take a while
and we don't have time to wait.
1405
02:10:52,878 --> 02:10:54,368
You need something warmer.
1406
02:10:54,880 --> 02:10:57,075
Fine like this.
1407
02:11:26,545 --> 02:11:28,376
What is it, girl?
1408
02:11:30,749 --> 02:11:32,376
Mm.
1409
02:11:58,010 --> 02:12:00,240
Adrian's a pacifist.
1410
02:12:00,412 --> 02:12:05,042
He's a vegetarian, for chrissakes.
He's never killed anyone in his life.
1411
02:12:05,250 --> 02:12:06,649
Hitler was vegetarian.
1412
02:12:06,818 --> 02:12:11,312
You're squeamish, leave him to me.
We won't get second chance.
1413
02:13:22,627 --> 02:13:23,924
Gentlemen.
1414
02:13:24,429 --> 02:13:28,365
- Welcome.
- Adrian, we know everything.
1415
02:13:28,533 --> 02:13:30,330
Then what's there to discuss, Dan?
1416
02:13:30,469 --> 02:13:33,461
Plenty. You killed Comedian.
1417
02:13:33,638 --> 02:13:35,162
May he rest in peace.
1418
02:13:35,674 --> 02:13:38,268
Blake figured it out first.
1419
02:13:38,443 --> 02:13:42,539
Nixon had him keeping tabs on us,
making sure we weren't rocking the boat.
1420
02:13:43,482 --> 02:13:45,746
Blake found out what l was doing
here in Karnak...
1421
02:13:45,951 --> 02:13:49,944
...and by the time he visited poor Moloch,
he was cracking badly.
1422
02:13:50,155 --> 02:13:53,454
Even l couldn't predict he'd be the one
to have a change of heart.
1423
02:13:54,159 --> 02:13:55,683
So...
1424
02:13:56,762 --> 02:13:58,662
...l had to kill him.
1425
02:13:59,264 --> 02:14:02,927
Then l neutralized Jon. No easy task.
1426
02:14:03,101 --> 02:14:05,592
l put roughly $2 billion
into tachyon research...
1427
02:14:05,737 --> 02:14:07,796
...to block Jon's vision of the future.
1428
02:14:07,939 --> 02:14:10,203
You used his psych profile
to manipulate him.
1429
02:14:10,709 --> 02:14:12,199
Got him to leave the planet.
1430
02:14:12,344 --> 02:14:15,745
l've known Jon long enough
to see he isn't devoid of emotion.
1431
02:14:15,947 --> 02:14:19,849
His subtle facial twitches wouldn't be
noticed by the layman, but to me...
1432
02:14:20,018 --> 02:14:21,849
...he might as well have been sobbing.
1433
02:14:22,220 --> 02:14:25,348
All l needed to do was tug on the thread.
1434
02:14:25,524 --> 02:14:27,424
The sudden flood of emotion Jon felt...
1435
02:14:27,626 --> 02:14:31,221
...when he came to believe
he'd given cancer to the people he loved...
1436
02:14:31,363 --> 02:14:33,524
...was all the excuse he needed
to leave Earth.
1437
02:14:33,665 --> 02:14:37,533
Your bullshit assassin.
You paid him to throw us off.
1438
02:14:37,669 --> 02:14:42,333
Mr. Chess gave his life
in the service of a higher cause, Dan.
1439
02:14:44,476 --> 02:14:47,570
l put a cyanide capsule in his mouth...
1440
02:14:47,746 --> 02:14:50,340
...leaving only one loose end:
1441
02:14:50,982 --> 02:14:54,440
You, and your mask-killer theory...
1442
02:14:54,586 --> 02:14:57,680
...one you followed
with the tenacity of a true sociopath.
1443
02:14:57,889 --> 02:14:59,584
l tipped off the police.
1444
02:14:59,758 --> 02:15:02,090
once you were in prison,
l was able to move forward.
1445
02:15:02,294 --> 02:15:04,888
Sorry to disappoint you.
1446
02:15:18,110 --> 02:15:20,544
We were supposed to make the world
a better place.
1447
02:15:20,712 --> 02:15:22,441
Dan, that's exactly what l am doing.
1448
02:15:22,647 --> 02:15:23,944
Nuclear war?
1449
02:15:24,149 --> 02:15:26,310
Human extinction?
1450
02:15:35,961 --> 02:15:40,864
of course, my moral safeguards
gave me pause at the necessary sacrifice.
1451
02:15:41,032 --> 02:15:44,024
A few key regions around the globe-
1452
02:15:44,169 --> 02:15:49,630
New York, Los Angeles, Moscow,
Hong Kong.
1453
02:15:49,841 --> 02:15:51,468
- disintegrated in an instant.
1454
02:15:52,244 --> 02:15:55,543
Fifteen million people killed...
1455
02:15:55,747 --> 02:15:57,772
...by Dr. Manhattan himself.
1456
02:15:59,050 --> 02:16:01,780
The world's punishment
for flirting with World War lll.
1457
02:16:01,920 --> 02:16:03,012
Jon wouldn't do that.
1458
02:16:03,622 --> 02:16:06,318
A fact no one outside this room
ever has to know.
1459
02:16:06,992 --> 02:16:10,792
The energy breakthrough l was working on
just came to fruition.
1460
02:16:11,396 --> 02:16:15,389
All these years, Jon was helping me
replicate his power...
1461
02:16:15,534 --> 02:16:18,094
...unaware of how l planned to use it.
1462
02:16:18,236 --> 02:16:20,227
You see...
1463
02:16:21,139 --> 02:16:23,539
...the Comedian was right.
1464
02:16:24,242 --> 02:16:29,236
Humanity's savage nature
will inevitably lead to global annihilation.
1465
02:16:29,447 --> 02:16:32,211
So in order to save this planet...
1466
02:16:32,517 --> 02:16:34,542
...l had to trick it...
1467
02:16:34,953 --> 02:16:38,946
...with the greatest practical joke
in human history.
1468
02:16:39,257 --> 02:16:42,658
- Killing millions.
- To save billions.
1469
02:16:43,228 --> 02:16:45,162
A necessary crime.
1470
02:16:45,330 --> 02:16:47,491
You know we can't let you do that.
1471
02:16:48,934 --> 02:16:51,061
''Do that,'' Rorschach?
1472
02:16:51,236 --> 02:16:52,863
l'm not a comic-book villain.
1473
02:16:53,738 --> 02:16:55,968
Do you think
l'd explain my masterstroke to you...
1474
02:16:56,141 --> 02:17:00,271
...if there were even the slightest possibility
you could affect the outcome?
1475
02:17:03,014 --> 02:17:05,778
l triggered it 35 minutes ago.
1476
02:18:45,317 --> 02:18:48,309
Jesus Christ, Henry.
1477
02:18:48,486 --> 02:18:50,716
Why the hell
didn't we get a launch detection?
1478
02:18:52,624 --> 02:18:57,027
lt's not the Soviets, sir.
1479
02:18:57,629 --> 02:19:00,689
lntel indicates the energy signature...
1480
02:19:00,865 --> 02:19:03,299
...was generated by...
1481
02:19:04,269 --> 02:19:06,703
...Dr. Manhattan.
1482
02:19:09,574 --> 02:19:11,098
Jon.
1483
02:19:14,112 --> 02:19:15,272
lnterference.
1484
02:19:15,880 --> 02:19:17,780
Cataclysmic interference.
1485
02:19:27,492 --> 02:19:30,290
l can't believe it happened.
1486
02:19:31,296 --> 02:19:34,788
This wasn't caused by nuclear warheads.
1487
02:19:38,837 --> 02:19:40,134
lt was me.
1488
02:19:42,207 --> 02:19:43,799
l...
1489
02:19:44,342 --> 02:19:45,400
...did this.
1490
02:19:46,010 --> 02:19:49,468
- What do you mean, you did this?
- Not directly.
1491
02:19:50,482 --> 02:19:53,144
lt was made to look like l did it.
1492
02:19:56,221 --> 02:19:57,654
Adrian.
1493
02:20:03,928 --> 02:20:05,919
Speak of the devil.
1494
02:20:09,067 --> 02:20:10,125
Jon-
l know.
1495
02:20:10,268 --> 02:20:12,429
Must stop him.
Killed Blake, killed millions.
1496
02:20:12,637 --> 02:20:13,934
Wait here.
1497
02:20:25,150 --> 02:20:27,482
Adrian, stop this.
1498
02:20:28,953 --> 02:20:30,853
The tachyons were clever...
1499
02:20:31,956 --> 02:20:36,290
...but even if l can't predict where you are,
l can turn the walls to glass.
1500
02:20:37,662 --> 02:20:40,096
l should thank you.
1501
02:20:41,266 --> 02:20:44,463
l'd almost forgotten the excitement
of not knowing...
1502
02:20:45,470 --> 02:20:48,462
...the delights of uncertainty.
1503
02:20:52,677 --> 02:20:54,304
Forgive me, girl.
1504
02:21:17,235 --> 02:21:18,930
You're such an asshole.
1505
02:21:52,904 --> 02:21:54,872
Veidt, you bastard.
1506
02:21:55,006 --> 02:21:57,474
- lf you've hurt her, l'll-
- Dan...
1507
02:21:59,210 --> 02:22:03,738
...grow up. My new world
demands less obvious heroism.
1508
02:22:03,948 --> 02:22:05,916
Your...
1509
02:22:06,117 --> 02:22:11,054
...schoolboy heroics are redundant.
What have they achieved?
1510
02:22:12,724 --> 02:22:15,557
Failing to prevent Earth's salvation...
1511
02:22:16,528 --> 02:22:18,928
...is your only triumph.
1512
02:22:19,130 --> 02:22:21,030
JoN:
l'm disappointed in you, Adrian.
1513
02:22:21,833 --> 02:22:25,325
l'm very disappointed.
1514
02:22:37,749 --> 02:22:40,877
Reassembling myself
was the first trick l learned.
1515
02:22:41,586 --> 02:22:43,986
lt didn't kill osterman.
1516
02:22:46,591 --> 02:22:48,957
Did you really think it would kill me?
1517
02:22:50,261 --> 02:22:53,458
l have walked across the surface
of the sun.
1518
02:22:53,965 --> 02:22:57,093
l have witnessed events
so tiny and so fast...
1519
02:22:57,268 --> 02:23:00,294
...they can hardly be said
to have occurred at all...
1520
02:23:00,438 --> 02:23:04,101
...but you, Adrian, you're just a man.
1521
02:23:05,209 --> 02:23:07,700
The world's smartest man...
1522
02:23:07,912 --> 02:23:10,437
...poses no more threat to me...
1523
02:23:10,648 --> 02:23:13,742
...than does its smartest termite.
1524
02:23:16,054 --> 02:23:17,521
What's that?
1525
02:23:17,922 --> 02:23:19,822
Another ultimate weapon?
1526
02:23:20,425 --> 02:23:22,154
Yes.
1527
02:23:23,761 --> 02:23:25,228
You could say that.
1528
02:23:28,766 --> 02:23:30,734
- came under attack.
1529
02:23:31,536 --> 02:23:34,869
Millions of lives were suddenly ended...
1530
02:23:35,239 --> 02:23:40,438
...in an act of evil
perpetrated by Dr. Manhattan himself.
1531
02:23:42,246 --> 02:23:46,182
Since the attacks,
l have been in constant contact...
1532
02:23:46,351 --> 02:23:49,343
...with the premier of the U.S.S.R.
1533
02:23:49,754 --> 02:23:52,587
Putting aside our past differences...
1534
02:23:52,957 --> 02:23:55,084
...we have both pledged to unite...
1535
02:23:55,460 --> 02:23:58,759
...against this common enemy.
1536
02:23:59,263 --> 02:24:01,197
With the rest of the world...
1537
02:24:01,633 --> 02:24:03,692
...we will prevail.
1538
02:24:06,204 --> 02:24:09,196
This is a day we shall never forget.
1539
02:24:09,407 --> 02:24:13,605
And yet we go forward
to defend the human race...
1540
02:24:13,745 --> 02:24:18,409
...and all that is good
and just in our world.
1541
02:24:19,751 --> 02:24:23,983
Thank you. God bless us all.
1542
02:24:24,355 --> 02:24:26,152
Do you see?
1543
02:24:28,359 --> 02:24:30,827
Two superpowers retreating from war.
1544
02:24:32,430 --> 02:24:34,864
l've saved the earth from hell.
1545
02:24:35,033 --> 02:24:37,001
We both have.
1546
02:24:37,468 --> 02:24:39,663
This is as much your victory as it is mine.
1547
02:24:44,475 --> 02:24:45,965
Now we can return...
1548
02:24:47,445 --> 02:24:48,969
...do what we were meant to.
1549
02:24:49,147 --> 02:24:52,139
We were meant to exact justice.
1550
02:24:52,483 --> 02:24:55,850
- Everyone's gonna know what you've done.
- Will they?
1551
02:24:55,987 --> 02:25:00,720
By exposing me, you would sacrifice
the peace so many died for today.
1552
02:25:00,892 --> 02:25:04,328
- Peace based on a lie.
- But peace...
1553
02:25:04,495 --> 02:25:06,690
- ... nonetheless.
- He's right.
1554
02:25:07,298 --> 02:25:11,234
Exposing Adrian would only doom the world
to nuclear destruction again.
1555
02:25:11,402 --> 02:25:14,303
No. We can't do this.
1556
02:25:14,439 --> 02:25:16,202
on Mars...
1557
02:25:17,709 --> 02:25:19,540
...you taught me the value of life.
1558
02:25:20,511 --> 02:25:22,945
lf we hope to preserve it here...
1559
02:25:23,815 --> 02:25:25,806
...we must remain silent.
1560
02:25:29,654 --> 02:25:31,622
Keep your own secrets.
1561
02:25:38,463 --> 02:25:39,657
Don't even think about it.
1562
02:25:42,266 --> 02:25:44,029
Rorschach.
1563
02:25:45,770 --> 02:25:47,328
Wait.
1564
02:25:48,339 --> 02:25:50,432
Never compromise.
1565
02:25:50,842 --> 02:25:53,675
Not even in the face of armageddon.
1566
02:25:54,078 --> 02:25:57,070
That's always been the difference
between us, Daniel.
1567
02:26:08,092 --> 02:26:11,619
l've made myself feel every death...
1568
02:26:13,097 --> 02:26:19,002
...see every innocent face
l've murdered to save humanity.
1569
02:26:24,609 --> 02:26:28,306
- You understand, don't you?
JoN: Without condoning...
1570
02:26:29,947 --> 02:26:31,847
...or condemning...
1571
02:26:36,320 --> 02:26:38,220
...l understand.
1572
02:26:45,630 --> 02:26:48,758
out of my way. People have to be told.
1573
02:26:49,634 --> 02:26:51,568
You know l can't let you do that.
1574
02:26:52,837 --> 02:26:55,829
Suddenly you discover humanity?
1575
02:26:57,241 --> 02:26:59,072
Convenient.
1576
02:27:07,785 --> 02:27:12,313
lf you'd cared from the start,
none of this would have happened.
1577
02:27:16,093 --> 02:27:19,085
l can change almost anything...
1578
02:27:23,634 --> 02:27:26,000
...but l can't change human nature.
1579
02:27:27,305 --> 02:27:30,706
of course
you must protect Veidt's new utopia.
1580
02:27:32,009 --> 02:27:35,308
What's one more body
amongst foundations?
1581
02:27:41,519 --> 02:27:43,419
Well, what are you waiting for?
1582
02:27:46,858 --> 02:27:48,723
Do it.
1583
02:27:54,832 --> 02:27:55,821
Do it!
1584
02:27:58,536 --> 02:28:01,869
No!
1585
02:28:19,390 --> 02:28:25,124
l'm leaving this galaxy
for one a little less complicated.
1586
02:28:25,296 --> 02:28:27,787
l thought you said you cared
about life again.
1587
02:28:27,999 --> 02:28:29,398
l do.
1588
02:28:30,701 --> 02:28:33,602
l think maybe l'll create some.
1589
02:28:37,708 --> 02:28:40,040
Goodbye, Laurie.
1590
02:29:15,279 --> 02:29:16,405
Come on.
1591
02:29:18,916 --> 02:29:20,474
Come on!
1592
02:29:24,922 --> 02:29:26,287
Dan...
1593
02:29:26,724 --> 02:29:29,488
...a world united and at peace.
1594
02:29:30,394 --> 02:29:31,588
There had to be sacrifice.
1595
02:29:31,729 --> 02:29:36,098
No! You haven't idealized mankind,
you've deformed it.
1596
02:29:36,300 --> 02:29:38,029
You've mutilated it.
1597
02:29:38,402 --> 02:29:40,597
That's your legacy.
1598
02:29:49,113 --> 02:29:51,911
That's the real practical joke.
1599
02:30:44,568 --> 02:30:48,561
We repeat, there is
nothing wrong with your television set.
1600
02:30:48,773 --> 02:30:52,209
You are about to participate
in a great adventure.
1601
02:30:52,376 --> 02:30:55,573
You are about to experience
the awe and mystery...
1602
02:30:55,713 --> 02:31:01,515
...which reaches from the inner mind
to the outer limits.
1603
02:31:02,720 --> 02:31:04,915
Sure you don't want a drink?
1604
02:31:05,923 --> 02:31:06,912
l'm okay.
1605
02:31:08,025 --> 02:31:09,219
Cheers.
1606
02:31:10,661 --> 02:31:13,824
There's something l need
to get off my chest.
1607
02:31:15,066 --> 02:31:17,557
l know that Eddie Blake was my father.
1608
02:31:20,571 --> 02:31:22,334
Laurel.
1609
02:31:23,340 --> 02:31:25,672
What you must think of me.
1610
02:31:26,544 --> 02:31:29,035
l'm sorry l never told you.
1611
02:31:29,246 --> 02:31:31,043
l should have...
1612
02:31:31,248 --> 02:31:35,344
...but l don't know, l just felt ashamed.
l felt stupid.
1613
02:31:35,553 --> 02:31:37,453
lt doesn't matter.
1614
02:31:38,289 --> 02:31:43,556
People's lives take them strange places.
They do strange things...
1615
02:31:44,161 --> 02:31:47,062
...and, well,
sometimes they can't talk about them.
1616
02:31:47,264 --> 02:31:49,562
l know how that is...
1617
02:31:50,301 --> 02:31:52,895
...but l just want you to know...
1618
02:31:53,471 --> 02:31:56,304
...that you never did anything wrong
by me.
1619
02:32:00,411 --> 02:32:04,711
You asked me why l wasn't mad at him.
1620
02:32:06,317 --> 02:32:08,751
Because he gave me you.
1621
02:32:13,824 --> 02:32:14,916
Thanks, Mom.
1622
02:32:17,628 --> 02:32:19,425
l love you.
1623
02:32:26,971 --> 02:32:31,169
- Hello, Miss Jupiter.
- oh, Sally, please.
1624
02:32:32,843 --> 02:32:37,439
Excuse me. Gotta go freshen up.
l'll be right back.
1625
02:32:47,958 --> 02:32:52,156
- So how's it going up here?
- Good. How's it going down there?
1626
02:32:52,296 --> 02:32:55,788
Good. l think l've got everything working.
1627
02:32:55,966 --> 02:33:00,528
All of Archie's systems are upgraded.
Finished the tinkering for now...
1628
02:33:00,704 --> 02:33:02,934
...so all we gotta do is take her out.
1629
02:33:03,107 --> 02:33:06,201
Well, that sounds like a date.
1630
02:33:17,521 --> 02:33:19,819
Are we gonna be all right?
1631
02:33:21,859 --> 02:33:26,159
Long as people think Jon's
still watching us, we'll be all right...
1632
02:33:26,363 --> 02:33:28,228
...in the end.
1633
02:33:29,867 --> 02:33:32,028
l know what Jon would say:
1634
02:33:32,236 --> 02:33:34,227
Nothing ends.
1635
02:33:36,140 --> 02:33:38,734
Nothing ever ends.
1636
02:34:26,123 --> 02:34:29,854
Seymour, we got nothing
to write about anymore.
1637
02:34:30,027 --> 02:34:31,426
Everyone in the country...
1638
02:34:31,562 --> 02:34:33,826
...every country in the world
are holding hands...
1639
02:34:34,031 --> 02:34:37,262
...and singing songs
about peace and love.
1640
02:34:37,768 --> 02:34:40,635
lt's like living in a goddamn
global hippie commune.
1641
02:34:40,838 --> 02:34:44,740
Well, Ronald Reagan says he's gonna
be running for president in '88.
1642
02:34:44,942 --> 02:34:46,739
We could run a piece on that.
1643
02:34:46,944 --> 02:34:50,072
Seymour, we don't dignify absurdities
with coverage.
1644
02:34:50,281 --> 02:34:54,149
This is still America, damn it.
Who wants a cowboy in the White House?
1645
02:34:54,852 --> 02:34:59,084
okay. l could look for something
in the crank file.
1646
02:34:59,256 --> 02:35:00,780
Crank file.
1647
02:35:00,991 --> 02:35:02,982
Whatever. Take some initiative.
1648
02:35:03,127 --> 02:35:05,789
Run whatever you like.
l leave it entirely in your hands.
1649
02:35:12,303 --> 02:35:17,002
Rorschach's journal, October 1 2th, 1 985.
1650
02:35:17,141 --> 02:35:21,601
Tonight, a comedian died in New York.
