2
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:25,850
Wrong, as usual.
3
00:00:26,020 --> 00:00:29,150
The United States' lack of action
in Eastern Europe...
4
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,780
...proves that the Soviet Union's aggression
at the Afghan border...
5
00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:37,110
...will not be opposed publicly
by the United States.
6
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,460
lssue: The Soviet Union continued
its recent series of military exercises...
7
00:00:44,620 --> 00:00:47,880
...conducting a bomb test today
in the Bering Sea...
8
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,800
...just 1500 miles
off the southern coast of Alaska.
9
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,050
President Richard Nixon...
10
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:56,510
...issued this warning to the Soviets:
11
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,180
The United States does not start fights.
12
00:01:00,350 --> 00:01:04,020
Let it be clear we maintain our strength...
13
00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:06,980
...in order to maintain peace...
14
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:10,900
...so any adversary
should ask themselves:
15
00:01:11,070 --> 00:01:14,150
"Do the consequences
of attacking America...
16
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,950
...outweigh the potential benefits?"
17
00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:19,740
As a result of the Soviet activity...
18
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:22,700
...the watchdog group
of nuclear scientists...
19
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:28,290
...moved the Doomsday Clock
up to five minutes until midnight:
20
00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:32,750
destruction by nuclear war.
21
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:35,170
Question:
22
00:01:35,420 --> 00:01:37,970
On a scale of zero to 10,
zero meaning impossibility...
23
00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:40,470
... 10 meaning
complete metaphysical certitude...
24
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,140
...what are the chances the Russians
will actually attack the United States?
25
00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:46,600
Pat Buchanan.
26
00:01:46,770 --> 00:01:48,100
Zero.
27
00:01:48,270 --> 00:01:50,900
The Soviets
would never risk going to war...
28
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:54,900
...when we have a walking nuclear deterrent
on our side.
29
00:01:55,070 --> 00:01:57,530
You're referring, of course,
to Dr. Manhattan...
30
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:01,820
...but does Dr. Manhattan's existence
guarantee world peace? Eleanor Clift.
31
00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:04,700
Well, it hasn't
stopped the Soviet Union...
32
00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:09,540
...from stockpiling record amounts
of nuclear weapons.
33
00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:11,420
You don't think it's just posturing?
34
00:02:11,580 --> 00:02:13,210
Maybe the reason
why the Soviets...
35
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:15,880
...are doing these bomb tests...
36
00:02:16,050 --> 00:02:20,430
...is because they feel threatened
by Dr. Manhattan. Of course.
37
00:02:21,010 --> 00:02:24,140
Maybe the whole world feels like that.
38
00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:28,600
Soviet ships have violated
the territorial waters--
39
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:07,680
Just a matter of time, l suppose.
40
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:41,980
lt's a joke. lt's all a joke.
41
00:04:42,610 --> 00:04:44,860
Mother, forgive me.
42
00:08:45,650 --> 00:08:48,610
l was a hero, goddamn it!
43
00:08:50,020 --> 00:08:54,190
--an act clearly meant to
send a signal to the government in Saigon...
44
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,700
...that violence and oppression
is not the way to peace.
45
00:09:36,030 --> 00:09:38,530
Fuck you, pigs!
46
00:10:08,690 --> 00:10:11,810
Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.
47
00:10:57,690 --> 00:11:00,740
Get out of here, vigilantes!
48
00:11:08,450 --> 00:11:10,620
No!
49
00:11:37,570 --> 00:11:43,700
Edward Blake. Sixty-seven
years old. Six-two, a solid 225.
50
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,070
Guy was built like a linebacker.
51
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,120
Yeah, l saw the body.
52
00:11:48,290 --> 00:11:50,370
For a guy his age,
he was in terrific shape.
53
00:11:50,540 --> 00:11:53,210
You mean apart from being dead?
54
00:11:54,460 --> 00:11:55,960
That's plate glass.
55
00:11:56,130 --> 00:11:59,000
You'd have to step on the gas
just to put a crack in it.
56
00:11:59,170 --> 00:12:01,260
Had to have been thrown.
57
00:12:01,420 --> 00:12:02,630
Check the bedroom?
58
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,720
Yeah. Drawers opened, tossed through.
59
00:12:05,890 --> 00:12:08,970
Mattress flipped. Probably robbery.
60
00:12:09,140 --> 00:12:10,600
Or made to look like one.
61
00:12:10,770 --> 00:12:12,520
See this?
62
00:12:12,810 --> 00:12:16,060
-Shaking hands with the president.
Whoa.
63
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:18,480
Think Blake was a spook?
64
00:12:18,650 --> 00:12:22,320
Government or black ops?
65
00:12:22,610 --> 00:12:24,490
l think...
66
00:12:24,820 --> 00:12:28,120
...this is way bigger than both of us.
67
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,500
Rorschach's journal, October 12th, 1985.
68
00:12:36,670 --> 00:12:41,800
Dog carcass in alley this morning.
Tire tread on burst stomach.
69
00:12:42,050 --> 00:12:44,300
This city's afraid of me.
70
00:12:44,470 --> 00:12:48,390
l've seen its true face.
The streets are extended gutters...
71
00:12:49,050 --> 00:12:51,470
...and the gutters are full of blood.
72
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,100
And when the drains finally scab over...
73
00:12:55,190 --> 00:12:57,400
...all the vermin will drown.
74
00:12:58,020 --> 00:13:00,440
The accumulated filth of all their sex
and murder...
75
00:13:00,610 --> 00:13:02,900
...will foam up around their waists...
76
00:13:03,070 --> 00:13:08,530
...and all the whores and politicians
will look up and shout, "Save us."
77
00:13:09,530 --> 00:13:13,160
And l'll whisper, "No."
78
00:13:14,660 --> 00:13:17,540
Now the whole world
stands on the brink...
79
00:13:17,710 --> 00:13:20,210
...staring down into bloody hell.
80
00:13:20,380 --> 00:13:23,880
All those liberals and intellectuals...
81
00:13:24,050 --> 00:13:26,050
...and smooth talkers...
82
00:13:26,220 --> 00:13:29,720
...and all of a sudden,
nobody can think of anything to say.
83
00:13:29,890 --> 00:13:33,060
Beneath me, this awful city.
84
00:13:33,220 --> 00:13:36,980
lt screams like an abattoir
full of retarded children...
85
00:13:37,140 --> 00:13:41,770
...and the night reeks of fornication
and bad consciences.
86
00:14:52,890 --> 00:14:54,800
Huh.
87
00:15:02,350 --> 00:15:06,480
Tonight, a comedian died in New York.
88
00:15:06,650 --> 00:15:08,030
Somebody knows why.
89
00:15:08,990 --> 00:15:10,610
Somebody knows.
90
00:15:15,870 --> 00:15:18,370
No, l definitely heard something.
91
00:15:21,710 --> 00:15:23,000
Watch the door.
92
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,860
Shh.
93
00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:53,320
Must've been the wind. Next time you--
94
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:13,050
lt all started with the gangs.
You know, people tend to forget that.
95
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,840
Pirate outfits, ghosts.
96
00:16:17,010 --> 00:16:19,600
They thought it was funny:
dress up and pull heists.
97
00:16:21,310 --> 00:16:24,020
As soon as we'd arrest them,
they'd be back on the street.
98
00:16:24,190 --> 00:16:28,020
Nobody could pick them out of a lineup
because of the damn masks.
99
00:16:28,190 --> 00:16:30,440
So a few of us cops, we get together...
100
00:16:30,610 --> 00:16:33,990
...and we figure, what the heck,
we'll mask up, too.
101
00:16:34,150 --> 00:16:36,860
We'll finish what the law couldn't.
102
00:16:37,660 --> 00:16:41,700
Pretty soon, the papers get wind of it.
They ran with it...
103
00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:45,540
...and oh, boy, we're a national pastime.
104
00:16:45,710 --> 00:16:49,210
lt was me, Dollar Bill, Mothman...
105
00:16:49,380 --> 00:16:52,760
...Captain Metropolis, Hooded Justice...
106
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,090
...Silk Spectre and the Comedian.
107
00:16:56,260 --> 00:16:59,800
Oh, don't get me started on him.
108
00:17:01,930 --> 00:17:06,020
l must be drunk already,
telling you this sob story again.
109
00:17:06,190 --> 00:17:08,060
l think you were trying to make a point.
110
00:17:08,940 --> 00:17:15,110
Well, my point is that we had it too easy.
lt wasn't fair what happened to you guys--
111
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,450
You guys who picked up where we left off.
--with Nixon forcing you out.
112
00:17:20,450 --> 00:17:24,950
Nixon, oh, that prick. To think l voted
for that prick five times.
113
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:27,830
Hey, it was him or the commies, right?
114
00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:34,460
Oh, wow, it's almost midnight.
Gotta go.
115
00:17:35,970 --> 00:17:37,630
Truth?
116
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:42,010
You were a better Nite Owl
than l ever was, Danny boy.
117
00:17:42,180 --> 00:17:45,930
-Hollis, we both know that's bullshit.
-Hey.
118
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:47,350
Watch it with the language.
119
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,150
This is the left hook
that floored Captain Axis, remember?
120
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:51,690
-Yeah.
This just in:
121
00:17:51,860 --> 00:17:53,820
The masked vigilante
known as Rorschach...
122
00:17:53,980 --> 00:17:56,820
...has assaulted a police officer
in the early-morning hours.
123
00:17:57,650 --> 00:18:00,660
Rorschach is on the FBl's
Ten Most Wanted list...
124
00:18:00,820 --> 00:18:04,660
...for violation of the Keene Act,
which banned masked heroes six years ago.
125
00:18:04,830 --> 00:18:07,080
Rorschach reportedly incapacitated....
126
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:10,000
Forced everyone out except him.
127
00:18:10,170 --> 00:18:11,710
Oh, he'll quit.
128
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,210
When he's dead.
129
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,960
Next week?
Well...
130
00:18:16,130 --> 00:18:20,720
...you know, you don't have to
keep humoring me like this.
131
00:18:20,890 --> 00:18:23,050
lf you got a hot date or something....
132
00:18:23,220 --> 00:18:26,020
Hey, us retired guys
have to stick together, right?
133
00:18:27,810 --> 00:18:29,690
You ever miss it?
134
00:18:30,850 --> 00:18:32,980
No. You?
135
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,360
Oh, heck, no.
136
00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:38,400
Be seeing you.
137
00:19:52,190 --> 00:19:53,480
Hello, Daniel.
138
00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:55,310
Rorschach.
139
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,690
Helped myself to some beans.
Hope you don't mind.
140
00:20:00,860 --> 00:20:03,280
No, no. Course not.
141
00:20:04,910 --> 00:20:07,450
You want me to heat those up for you?
142
00:20:07,620 --> 00:20:09,160
Fine like this.
143
00:20:10,750 --> 00:20:11,950
How have you been keeping?
144
00:20:16,290 --> 00:20:18,130
Out of prison.
145
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,050
Heard about you on the news.
146
00:20:22,630 --> 00:20:24,880
Say you attacked a cop.
147
00:20:25,050 --> 00:20:27,800
Minor wound.
Won't need hospitalization.
148
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:29,850
Daniel...
149
00:20:30,020 --> 00:20:31,310
...look at this.
150
00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:39,730
ls this bean juice?
Human bean juice.
151
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,950
Badge belonged to the Comedian.
Blood too. He's dead.
152
00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:48,410
Let's talk downstairs.
153
00:20:57,330 --> 00:20:59,090
lt could have been a burglary.
154
00:20:59,250 --> 00:21:01,960
Maybe the killer didn't know
who the Comedian was.
155
00:21:02,130 --> 00:21:06,840
An ordinary burglar?
Kill the Comedian? Ridiculous.
156
00:21:08,430 --> 00:21:11,850
l heard he'd been working
for the government since '77...
157
00:21:12,020 --> 00:21:15,180
...knocking over Marxist republics
in South America.
158
00:21:15,350 --> 00:21:18,310
Maybe it was a political killing
or something.
159
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,730
Maybe.
160
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:23,190
Maybe someone's picking off
costumed heroes.
161
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:25,440
You don't think that's a little paranoid?
162
00:21:25,610 --> 00:21:28,200
That what they say about me now?
163
00:21:28,410 --> 00:21:29,700
Paranoid?
164
00:21:29,870 --> 00:21:32,700
Look, Comedian made
a lot of enemies over the years...
165
00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:34,370
...even among his friends.
166
00:21:34,540 --> 00:21:36,710
Speaking of friends, how's Hollis Mason?
167
00:21:37,540 --> 00:21:41,540
He wrote that book. Said some bad things
about the Comedian in it.
168
00:21:41,710 --> 00:21:45,760
l don't like what you're implying,
and l like being followed even less.
169
00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:50,760
Maybe l was keeping an eye on you,
in case someone's gunning for masks.
170
00:21:50,930 --> 00:21:55,600
-You were never that sentimental.
-Attack on one is attack on all of us.
171
00:21:56,060 --> 00:21:58,480
What do you suggest we do about it?
172
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,560
Retribution.
173
00:22:01,940 --> 00:22:05,230
-Watchmen are over.
-Says Tricky Dick.
174
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,190
Says me.
175
00:22:09,780 --> 00:22:11,410
Nobody knows who you are.
176
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:14,580
You can give it up,
try and have a normal life.
177
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:18,620
That what you have now?
A normal life?
178
00:22:19,620 --> 00:22:23,000
When you walk down the street
in a city dying of rabies...
179
00:22:23,170 --> 00:22:24,630
...past the human cockroaches...
180
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,590
...talking about their heroin
and child pornography...
181
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,260
...do you really feel normal?
182
00:22:30,430 --> 00:22:33,180
Least l'm not the one
still hiding behind a mask.
183
00:22:35,060 --> 00:22:36,310
No.
184
00:22:37,980 --> 00:22:40,100
You're hiding in plain sight.
185
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,650
Be seeing you, Dan.
186
00:22:44,150 --> 00:22:46,610
A maintenance hatch
will let you out two blocks north.
187
00:22:46,780 --> 00:22:48,530
Yeah, l remember.
188
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:52,780
Came here often,
when we were partners.
189
00:22:52,950 --> 00:22:54,830
Those were great times, huh,
Rorschach?
190
00:22:55,330 --> 00:22:58,580
-What happened?
-You quit.
191
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,230
Rorschach's journal.
192
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,730
First visit of evening fruitless.
193
00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:27,980
Feel slightly depressed.
194
00:23:28,530 --> 00:23:30,440
Soon there will be war.
195
00:23:30,610 --> 00:23:34,160
Millions will perish
in sickness and misery.
196
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,870
Why does one death matter
against so many?
197
00:23:37,620 --> 00:23:42,410
Because there is good and evil,
and evil must be punished.
198
00:23:42,580 --> 00:23:45,420
Even in the face of armageddon...
199
00:23:45,590 --> 00:23:48,500
...I will not compromise in this.
200
00:23:49,090 --> 00:23:50,130
Mr. Veidt...
201
00:23:50,300 --> 00:23:52,420
...to date,
you're one of only two Watchmen...
202
00:23:52,590 --> 00:23:55,010
...ever to reveal their true identity
to the world...
203
00:23:55,180 --> 00:23:57,010
...the first being Hollis Mason.
204
00:23:57,180 --> 00:24:00,180
And you've certainly profited greatly
by it...
205
00:24:00,350 --> 00:24:05,600
...turning your superhero alter ego,
Ozymandias, into a billion-dollar industry:
206
00:24:05,770 --> 00:24:08,860
Toys, lunchboxes, genetic engineering.
207
00:24:09,030 --> 00:24:11,070
l understand there's a movie
in the works.
208
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,450
-l'm not hearing a question, Mr. Roth.
l'm sorry. Do you think--
209
00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:18,200
The Watchmen resent me
for prostituting their struggle?
210
00:24:18,370 --> 00:24:21,080
lt's a fair question.
Yes, it's crossed my mind...
211
00:24:21,250 --> 00:24:24,290
...some of my old colleagues
might see it that way...
212
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:27,460
...just as you're clearly aware
that biased journalism...
213
00:24:27,630 --> 00:24:30,210
...sells more magazines.
214
00:24:30,710 --> 00:24:35,510
The merchandising arm of Veidt lndustries
is funding our work with Dr. Manhattan.
215
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,600
We recently expanded our research facility
in Antarctica...
216
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,020
...in the hope of developing cheap,
renewable sources of energy...
217
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:45,190
...that we might eliminate
the world's reliance on fossil fuels.
218
00:24:45,350 --> 00:24:47,770
Now, it doesn't take
a political scientist...
219
00:24:47,940 --> 00:24:51,360
...to see that our Cold War
with the Russians isn't ideological...
220
00:24:51,530 --> 00:24:55,030
...it's based upon fear.
Fear of not having enough.
221
00:24:55,410 --> 00:24:59,070
But if we make resources infinite...
222
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,370
...ah...
223
00:25:01,540 --> 00:25:03,620
...we make war obsolete.
224
00:25:04,460 --> 00:25:08,290
l would hope the other Watchmen
understand that...
225
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:11,170
...wherever they may be.
226
00:25:13,260 --> 00:25:14,630
Thanks for your time.
227
00:25:20,890 --> 00:25:23,560
-You look good, Adrian.
-Dan.
228
00:25:23,730 --> 00:25:25,940
lt's been too long.
229
00:25:27,690 --> 00:25:31,770
So Rorschach thinks
someone's hunting the Watchmen, huh?
230
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,280
You think it's possible?
231
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,200
Statistically, one murder
doesn't equal a trend.
232
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,280
Rorschach's a sociopath, Dan.
233
00:25:40,950 --> 00:25:44,290
And so was the Comedian.
He was practically a Nazi.
234
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:47,160
You know that better than anyone.
235
00:25:47,330 --> 00:25:49,540
l'm not here because l miss him.
236
00:25:49,710 --> 00:25:51,040
lt's occurred to Rorschach...
237
00:25:51,210 --> 00:25:54,170
...that we're the only ones
who know each other's identities.
238
00:25:54,670 --> 00:25:56,800
Actually, the whole world knows yours.
239
00:25:57,550 --> 00:26:00,010
That's why l'm warning you first.
240
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,640
Thank you, Dan...
241
00:26:07,230 --> 00:26:11,020
...but l fear there's something
much more real to worry about...
242
00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:13,820
...than Rorschach's mask killer.
243
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,820
lf the Russians do launch their nukes,
can Jon really stop them?
244
00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:23,660
The Soviets have 51,000
warheads stockpiled.
245
00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:27,000
Even if Jon stops 99 percent of them...
246
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,380
...the 1 percent that get through
could still kill every living thing on Earth.
247
00:26:34,130 --> 00:26:36,510
Even Dr. Manhattan
can't be everywhere at once.
248
00:26:50,730 --> 00:26:56,360
Rorschach's journal,
October 13th, 1985...
249
00:26:56,530 --> 00:26:58,860
...8:30 p.m.
250
00:26:59,570 --> 00:27:03,490
Meeting with Dreiberg
left bad taste in mouth.
251
00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:07,750
A flabby failure who sits
whimpering in his basement.
252
00:27:08,910 --> 00:27:11,870
Why are so few of us left active...
253
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,920
...healthy and without
personality disorders?
254
00:27:17,090 --> 00:27:20,340
The first Nite Owl
runs an auto-repair shop.
255
00:27:20,510 --> 00:27:23,890
The first Silk Spectre
is a bloated, aging whore...
256
00:27:24,050 --> 00:27:26,930
...dying in a California rest resort.
257
00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:29,730
Dollar Bill got his cape stuck
in a revolving door...
258
00:27:29,890 --> 00:27:31,390
...where he got gunned down.
259
00:27:32,020 --> 00:27:34,440
Silhouette, murdered...
260
00:27:34,770 --> 00:27:37,730
...a victim of her own indecent lifestyle.
261
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,280
Mothman's in an asylum in Maine.
262
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,500
Even Adrian Veidt, possible homosexual.
263
00:27:49,660 --> 00:27:52,160
Must investigate further.
264
00:27:52,330 --> 00:27:55,080
Only two names remain on my list.
265
00:27:55,630 --> 00:28:00,760
Both share private quarters
at Rockefeller Military Research Center.
266
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,260
l shall go to them.
267
00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:08,930
l shall go tell the indestructible man
that someone plans to murder him.
268
00:28:09,770 --> 00:28:11,560
Good evening, Rorschach.
269
00:28:11,730 --> 00:28:15,230
Dr. Manhattan, you know why l'm here.
270
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:16,810
Yes...
271
00:28:18,110 --> 00:28:20,070
...but you're going to leave disappointed.
272
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,950
Rorschach. You shouldn't be here.
You're a wanted man.
273
00:28:24,110 --> 00:28:26,320
Nice to see you too, Silk Spectre.
274
00:28:26,490 --> 00:28:28,580
l have a real name l've been using.
275
00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:29,790
Try it.
276
00:28:29,950 --> 00:28:32,040
Whatever you say, Laurie.
277
00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:33,460
What are you doing here?
278
00:28:33,620 --> 00:28:35,960
The Comedian is dead.
279
00:28:36,130 --> 00:28:38,210
Rorschach wants me
to look into my future...
280
00:28:38,550 --> 00:28:41,000
...see if the killer is ever
publicly identified.
281
00:28:41,170 --> 00:28:44,300
Already warned Dreiberg.
Came to warn you too.
282
00:28:46,970 --> 00:28:49,350
Even if l wanted to help...
283
00:28:49,970 --> 00:28:53,850
...my future is blocked
by some kind of temporal interference.
284
00:28:54,270 --> 00:28:58,310
-l cannot see it clearly.
-lnterference? Caused by what?
285
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,900
ln all likelihood, nuclear holocaust.
286
00:29:02,650 --> 00:29:06,740
lf the United States and Soviet Union
engage in all-out war...
287
00:29:06,910 --> 00:29:10,910
...the resulting blast wave would produce
a sudden burst of tachyons...
288
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:16,040
...particles which travel backward
through what you perceive as time...
289
00:29:16,670 --> 00:29:20,000
...therefore obscuring my vision
of the present.
290
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,210
l must return to my work.
291
00:29:22,380 --> 00:29:23,510
Wait a minute.
292
00:29:23,670 --> 00:29:26,180
What if that's why
someone wants us out of the way?
293
00:29:26,340 --> 00:29:28,590
So we can't do anything to stop it?
294
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,600
Goodbye, Rorschach.
295
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,020
Took a lot of effort
to get in here to see you.
296
00:29:33,180 --> 00:29:34,520
l'm not leaving--
297
00:29:35,810 --> 00:29:38,150
--till l've had my say.
298
00:29:45,650 --> 00:29:48,570
Seems like there's a lot of things
you don't tell me these days.
299
00:29:48,740 --> 00:29:51,450
l didn't wanna worry you prematurely.
300
00:29:51,910 --> 00:29:56,040
lf Adrian and l can solve the energy crisis,
war may be averted.
301
00:29:56,210 --> 00:29:58,290
But you always say time is simultaneous.
302
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,880
lf that's true,
then how can you change the future?
303
00:30:02,050 --> 00:30:07,050
lf only you could perceive time as l do.
304
00:30:07,220 --> 00:30:08,470
Please let me show you.
305
00:30:14,430 --> 00:30:19,390
Magic. Dreams. That is what l had before.
l was a hero, goddamn it!
306
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,610
lt's not my fault you got old.
What do you have to complain about?
307
00:30:22,770 --> 00:30:25,230
l'm putting food on the table
for you and your child.
308
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,150
Call your friend Eddie.
Maybe he can give you a better life.
309
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,490
-lt was a mistake. One time.
-Man tries to rape you--
310
00:30:32,780 --> 00:30:34,160
Stop!
311
00:30:34,910 --> 00:30:36,410
Your mind goes to dark places...
312
00:30:36,580 --> 00:30:38,910
...and you wonder
why l keep the worst from you.
313
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,260
-Say hello to Dan for me.
-What?
314
00:30:48,050 --> 00:30:50,840
You wanna ask me
to go to dinner with you...
315
00:30:52,550 --> 00:30:54,720
...like we used to...
316
00:30:56,140 --> 00:30:57,270
...but you won't.
317
00:30:58,060 --> 00:31:00,310
You know l can't.
318
00:31:02,940 --> 00:31:05,230
So you'll call Dan...
319
00:31:05,650 --> 00:31:07,860
...which is only natural.
320
00:31:08,190 --> 00:31:10,780
You deserve the comfort of an old friend.
321
00:31:45,110 --> 00:31:46,650
Dan Dreiberg's table.
322
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,550
Did you know that
he and H.J. were--? l had no idea.
323
00:32:12,050 --> 00:32:15,140
You remember that crazy guy?
What'd he call himself?
324
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:16,800
Captain Carnage.
325
00:32:16,970 --> 00:32:20,180
Used to pretend he was a supervillain
just so he could get beat up?
326
00:32:20,350 --> 00:32:22,730
Yeah, he tried that on me once.
l just walked away.
327
00:32:22,890 --> 00:32:25,940
He starts following me down the street
in broad daylight...
328
00:32:26,110 --> 00:32:28,900
...yelling, "Punish me! Punish me!"
329
00:32:29,150 --> 00:32:31,690
l'm just saying, "No, get lost."
330
00:32:32,820 --> 00:32:35,280
God, whatever happened to him?
331
00:32:35,450 --> 00:32:37,620
Oh. Um....
He pulled that on Rorschach...
332
00:32:37,780 --> 00:32:40,200
...and Rorschach
dropped him down an elevator shaft.
333
00:32:46,670 --> 00:32:49,040
Oh, my God. That's not even funny.
334
00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:52,260
-lt's a little funny.
-Yep.
335
00:32:54,180 --> 00:32:56,130
WOl'm glad l ordered
the four-legged chicken.
336
00:32:56,300 --> 00:32:58,260
lt's really good to see you again.
337
00:32:59,510 --> 00:33:01,060
lt's great seeing you too.
338
00:33:01,850 --> 00:33:04,390
Why'd we do it, Dan? Dress up like that?
339
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,860
-No one else would.
-Yeah, but do you remember my costume?
340
00:33:09,020 --> 00:33:12,110
All that tight latex?
l mean, it was awful.
341
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,240
Uh.... Yeah, yeah, awful.
342
00:33:15,410 --> 00:33:17,860
But didn't wanna disappoint Mother.
343
00:33:18,030 --> 00:33:22,040
Wanted her little girl to be just like her
and fight bad guys.
344
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:26,290
l think the Keene Act was the best thing
that ever happened to us.
345
00:33:27,380 --> 00:33:29,750
Well, we'll live longer anyway.
346
00:33:33,050 --> 00:33:34,590
What?
347
00:33:35,550 --> 00:33:40,050
Jon thinks, unless he can do something
about it...
348
00:33:40,890 --> 00:33:42,930
...that there's gonna be nuclear war.
349
00:33:43,390 --> 00:33:44,890
Soon.
350
00:33:45,770 --> 00:33:49,100
But l don't know what to think.
l mean, it's all...
351
00:33:49,270 --> 00:33:52,320
...quantum mechanics
and parallel realities with him.
352
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,280
l never even know
what universe he's actually seeing.
353
00:33:56,570 --> 00:33:59,700
He just keeps getting further away
from me.
354
00:34:00,410 --> 00:34:02,080
Everyone.
355
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,830
l can't even tell
if he actually cares about me anymore...
356
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,040
...or if he's just pretending.
357
00:34:08,750 --> 00:34:11,670
lf he's pretending, it means he cares.
358
00:34:16,420 --> 00:34:18,430
Hold on, l'll get the door.
359
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,550
Thanks, Dan.
360
00:34:21,930 --> 00:34:23,970
-Got it?
-Yeah.
361
00:34:29,350 --> 00:34:32,360
You always get
a government escort to dinner?
362
00:34:33,070 --> 00:34:37,150
They're making sure l don't do anything to
upset the country's most powerful weapon.
363
00:34:38,910 --> 00:34:40,160
l'm sorry.
364
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,200
l invite you out to dinner to catch up
and have a few laughs...
365
00:34:44,580 --> 00:34:47,950
...but there don't seem to be many laughs
around these days.
366
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,920
What do you expect?
The Comedian's dead.
367
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,020
Laurie? ls that you?
368
00:36:41,740 --> 00:36:44,700
Thought you'd be used
to traveling that way by now.
369
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,370
Well, l'm not.
l hate it when Jon teleports me.
370
00:36:49,540 --> 00:36:52,410
Well, it beats flying coach.
371
00:36:52,790 --> 00:36:54,790
Margarita?
372
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,170
Mother, it's 2:00 in the afternoon.
373
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,340
Mm.
374
00:37:02,010 --> 00:37:04,300
Remember that guy
that writes me letters?
375
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,970
He sent me an item of memorabilia.
lt's a Tijuana bible.
376
00:37:08,140 --> 00:37:12,310
This little eight-page porno comic
they did in the '30s and '40s.
377
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,520
-He sent you this?
-Sure. They're very valuable, like antiques.
378
00:37:17,310 --> 00:37:19,020
Mother, this is gross.
379
00:37:19,190 --> 00:37:21,480
l think it's kind of flattering.
380
00:37:21,650 --> 00:37:23,900
Why do you always call me Mother
when you're mad?
381
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,320
l know why you're here.
l can still read, you know.
382
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,330
l saw it in the paper.
383
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,910
Eddie Blake's funeral is today.
384
00:37:37,710 --> 00:37:40,710
Finally got his punchline, l guess.
385
00:37:41,170 --> 00:37:44,010
-Poor Eddie.
-Poor Eddie? After what he did to you?
386
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:46,260
Oh, Laurie, you're still young.
387
00:37:47,010 --> 00:37:48,970
You don't know.
388
00:37:49,140 --> 00:37:50,890
Things change.
389
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:54,520
What happened happened 40 years ago.
390
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,940
l'm 67 years old.
391
00:37:58,100 --> 00:38:02,320
Every day, the future
looks a little bit darker.
392
00:38:03,150 --> 00:38:05,320
But the past...
393
00:38:05,820 --> 00:38:08,820
...even the grimy parts of it...
394
00:38:09,370 --> 00:38:11,990
...keep on getting brighter.
395
00:38:17,500 --> 00:38:20,330
l've got spots in my eyes.
396
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,460
Stop it, Eddie.
397
00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:30,800
-Thank you, Weegee.
-Thank you, Mr. Owl.
398
00:38:32,010 --> 00:38:35,220
Tomorrow, 3:00, my studio.
399
00:38:35,390 --> 00:38:38,560
-Little place on 21st.
-Sounds good.
400
00:38:38,730 --> 00:38:43,310
Wow, a real photo session.
Wonder how my hair will look?
401
00:38:45,610 --> 00:38:48,820
Oh, go ahead. l'll be there in five.
402
00:39:05,300 --> 00:39:06,340
Eddie.
403
00:39:07,420 --> 00:39:11,470
What the hell are you doing here?
You knew l was changing.
404
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,260
Sure l did.
405
00:39:14,890 --> 00:39:16,470
Come on, baby.
406
00:39:16,930 --> 00:39:18,930
l know what you need.
407
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:23,150
You gotta have some kind of reason
for dressing in an outfit like this.
408
00:39:23,310 --> 00:39:25,610
l said no, Eddie.
409
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:31,150
-No spelled Y-E-S.
-No spelled N-O.
410
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,780
-All right?
-Come on, sweetheart.
411
00:39:38,700 --> 00:39:40,290
Eddie....
412
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,870
You little bastard.
413
00:40:30,510 --> 00:40:31,510
This what you like?
414
00:40:31,670 --> 00:40:34,180
-This what makes you hot?
-What?
415
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,860
Things are tough all over, cupcake.
416
00:40:48,020 --> 00:40:52,150
lt rains on the just and the unjust alike.
417
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,160
The Comedian was a little bit of both.
418
00:40:57,620 --> 00:41:00,990
And he always thought
he'd get the last laugh.
419
00:41:01,540 --> 00:41:04,580
Thou knowest, Lord,
the secrets of our hearts.
420
00:41:05,210 --> 00:41:08,540
Shut not thy merciful ears
to our prayers...
421
00:41:08,710 --> 00:41:13,300
...but spare us, Lord most holy,
O God most mighty...
422
00:41:13,470 --> 00:41:16,550
...O holy and merciful savior.
423
00:41:17,220 --> 00:41:19,930
Thou most worthy judge eternal.
424
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:23,430
Suffer us not at our last hour
for any--
425
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,810
Fireworks. You gotta be kidding me.
426
00:42:52,980 --> 00:42:57,740
You know, you'd think this goddamn
country had had enough fireworks.
427
00:42:58,650 --> 00:43:01,240
You know, if we'd lost here in Vietnam...
428
00:43:01,410 --> 00:43:06,370
... l think it might have driven us crazy.
You know, as a country.
429
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,830
But we didn't, thanks to you.
430
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,750
You sound bitter.
431
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,590
Me? Bitter?
432
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,840
Fuck, no. l think it's hilarious.
433
00:43:26,180 --> 00:43:28,020
Oh, Jesus Christ.
434
00:43:28,180 --> 00:43:31,190
-Mr. Eddie?
-Just what l fucking needed.
435
00:43:31,350 --> 00:43:36,400
The war is over now.
We must talk about this baby.
436
00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:40,700
There's nothing to talk about.
See, l'm leaving.
437
00:43:40,860 --> 00:43:42,200
l'm gonna forget about you...
438
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,200
...and your horrible, sweaty,
little piece-of-shit country.
439
00:43:45,780 --> 00:43:46,950
Get the fuck out of here.
440
00:43:48,700 --> 00:43:50,540
-No.
-Get the fuck out of here.
441
00:43:50,710 --> 00:43:52,080
You will remember.
442
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,590
You will remember me and my country...
443
00:43:57,460 --> 00:43:59,090
...forever!
444
00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:03,550
My face!
445
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:06,930
Blake. Don't.
446
00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:09,060
Blake!
447
00:44:15,900 --> 00:44:18,400
She was pregnant...
448
00:44:19,690 --> 00:44:21,400
...and you gunned her down.
449
00:44:21,570 --> 00:44:22,860
That's right...
450
00:44:23,030 --> 00:44:24,950
...and you know what? You watched me.
451
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,120
You could have turned the gun to steam,
the bullets to mercury...
452
00:44:28,290 --> 00:44:31,910
...the bottle into goddamn snowflakes,
but you didn't, did you?
453
00:44:33,830 --> 00:44:36,670
You really don't give a damn
about human beings.
454
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,670
You're drifting out of touch, doc.
455
00:44:42,260 --> 00:44:44,430
God help us all.
456
00:44:46,430 --> 00:44:47,760
Medic!
457
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,770
Most holy and merciful savior.
458
00:44:58,770 --> 00:45:03,610
He cometh up and is cut down,
like a flower.
459
00:45:03,780 --> 00:45:07,950
ln the midst of life, we are in death.
460
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:12,450
Of whom may we seek succor,
but of thee, O Lord?
461
00:45:16,830 --> 00:45:19,920
Welcome. We'll be starting shortly.
462
00:45:20,090 --> 00:45:22,170
We're waiting for one more.
463
00:45:32,980 --> 00:45:36,310
l told you, you wouldn't be
the only one dressed up.
464
00:45:37,940 --> 00:45:39,310
Welcome, doctor.
465
00:45:39,770 --> 00:45:41,400
Now we can start.
466
00:45:41,570 --> 00:45:45,400
Thank you for coming. Acquaint yourselves
with this map of high-crime areas.
467
00:45:46,780 --> 00:45:47,910
This is all bullshit.
468
00:45:48,700 --> 00:45:53,080
For a guy who calls himself the Comedian,
l can never tell when you're joking.
469
00:45:53,250 --> 00:45:56,660
Watchmen. That's the real joke.
470
00:45:56,830 --> 00:45:59,630
lt didn't work 15 years ago,
and it ain't gonna work now...
471
00:45:59,790 --> 00:46:01,920
...because you wanna play
cowboys and lndians.
472
00:46:02,090 --> 00:46:04,460
Maybe we should agree
on no drinking at meetings.
473
00:46:06,260 --> 00:46:10,010
Rorschach and l have made headway
on the gang problem by working together.
474
00:46:10,180 --> 00:46:14,520
A group this size seems like
a publicity stunt. l'm not in it for the ink.
475
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,480
We can do so much more.
476
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,850
We can save this world...
477
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,610
-...with the right leadership.
-Yeah.
478
00:46:25,990 --> 00:46:27,740
And that'd be you, right, Ozzy?
479
00:46:27,910 --> 00:46:30,700
l mean, hell,
you're the smartest man on the planet.
480
00:46:30,870 --> 00:46:33,530
lt doesn't take a genius
to see the world has problems.
481
00:46:33,870 --> 00:46:37,540
But it takes a room of morons to think
they're small enough for you to handle.
482
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,210
You people.
483
00:46:39,370 --> 00:46:42,880
You hear Moloch's back in town,
get your panties all in a bunch.
484
00:46:43,050 --> 00:46:45,880
-You think catching him matters?
-Justice matters.
485
00:46:47,420 --> 00:46:49,260
Justice.
486
00:46:49,890 --> 00:46:51,890
Justice is coming to all of us.
487
00:46:52,050 --> 00:46:53,550
No matter what the fuck we do.
488
00:46:54,260 --> 00:46:58,230
You know, mankind's been trying to kill
each other off since the beginning of time.
489
00:46:58,390 --> 00:47:03,230
Now we finally have the power
to finish the job.
490
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,070
Ain't nothing gonna matter once
those nukes start flying. We'll all be dust.
491
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:12,240
Then Ozymandias here...
492
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:15,530
...will be the smartest man
on the cinder.
493
00:47:24,420 --> 00:47:26,500
For as much as it hath pleased...
494
00:47:27,460 --> 00:47:31,630
...almighty God to take onto himself
the soul of our dear departed brother...
495
00:47:33,050 --> 00:47:37,100
...let us therefore commit his body
to the ground.
496
00:47:37,270 --> 00:47:40,770
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes....
497
00:48:04,500 --> 00:48:10,800
Watchmen! Police!
Police to protect the people!
498
00:48:15,300 --> 00:48:19,350
Attention, citizens.
We are trying to maintain order.
499
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,980
You must clear the streets
until the police strike is over.
500
00:48:24,150 --> 00:48:27,310
lf you could--
Please, there's no need for violence.
501
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,360
We are trying to retain order on the streets
until the police strike is over.
502
00:48:32,530 --> 00:48:34,740
Crawl back in your holes
before you get hurt.
503
00:48:34,950 --> 00:48:37,070
-l got rubber bullets.
- l want my rights!
504
00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:39,870
-You are not the law!
- We want regular cops!
505
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,330
No more vigilantes!
506
00:48:41,500 --> 00:48:45,040
My son's a police officer,
you fucking faggots!
507
00:48:46,670 --> 00:48:49,460
Goddamn it. All right.
That's how you wanna do it?
508
00:49:01,180 --> 00:49:02,850
There's no need for violence.
509
00:49:03,020 --> 00:49:06,190
Fuck you. Fuck you!
510
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,150
Oh, this is getting heavy.
511
00:49:38,550 --> 00:49:41,970
Goddamn, l love working
on American soil, Dan.
512
00:49:42,140 --> 00:49:44,560
Ain't had this much fun
since Woodward and Bernstein.
513
00:49:44,730 --> 00:49:46,390
How long can we keep this up?
514
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,150
Congress is pushing through some new bill
that's gonna outlaw masks.
515
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:51,570
Our days are numbered.
516
00:49:51,730 --> 00:49:56,030
Until then, it's like you always say:
We're society's only protection.
517
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,740
-From what?
-Are you kidding me? From themselves.
518
00:50:00,910 --> 00:50:03,120
-Son of a bitch.
No, Comedian, wait!
519
00:50:04,660 --> 00:50:06,580
Get your stinking hands off me.
520
00:50:08,750 --> 00:50:11,210
What the hell happened to us?
521
00:50:15,510 --> 00:50:17,840
What happened to the American dream?
522
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,510
What happened to the American dream?
523
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,810
lt came true!
524
00:50:23,970 --> 00:50:26,020
You're looking at it.
525
00:52:28,470 --> 00:52:29,930
Edgar William Jacobi.
526
00:52:30,100 --> 00:52:33,940
Also known as Edgar William Vaughn.
Also known as Moloch.
527
00:52:37,980 --> 00:52:40,230
What are you talking about?
528
00:52:41,190 --> 00:52:42,610
l'm a retired businessman--
529
00:52:44,910 --> 00:52:47,740
Lie again, Moloch, l break another finger.
530
00:52:47,910 --> 00:52:49,950
l did my time.
531
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,910
l'm not Moloch anymore.
532
00:52:53,540 --> 00:52:57,960
-What do you want from me?
-Heard you attended Blake's funeral. Why?
533
00:52:58,130 --> 00:53:01,590
l just felt l should...
534
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,680
...pay my respects to the Comedian.
535
00:53:08,140 --> 00:53:12,890
-How'd you know he was the Comedian?
-He broke in here. A week ago.
536
00:53:13,060 --> 00:53:15,390
He had his mask off.
537
00:53:15,850 --> 00:53:19,360
-He was drunk.
-Enemies. For decades.
538
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,570
-Why should he visit you?
-l don't know.
539
00:53:22,740 --> 00:53:25,650
l woke up in my bedroom
and there he was.
540
00:53:25,820 --> 00:53:27,780
He was upset.
541
00:53:28,370 --> 00:53:29,910
He was crying.
542
00:53:30,410 --> 00:53:32,700
Crying? The Comedian?
543
00:53:32,870 --> 00:53:35,870
He was babbling, not making any sense.
544
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,040
I was pissing in my pants.
545
00:53:39,210 --> 00:53:41,500
l thought he was gonna kill me.
546
00:53:41,670 --> 00:53:43,960
What did he say?
547
00:53:45,260 --> 00:53:46,930
lt's a joke.
548
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,220
lt's all a fucking joke.
549
00:53:52,270 --> 00:53:54,640
You know, l thought l knew how it was.
550
00:53:54,810 --> 00:53:57,850
l thought l knew how the world was.
551
00:53:58,980 --> 00:54:01,650
l've done some bad things.
552
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,940
l did bad things to women. l shot kids.
553
00:54:06,110 --> 00:54:08,360
ln 'Nam, you know.
554
00:54:08,950 --> 00:54:10,370
But that was fucking war.
555
00:54:11,330 --> 00:54:12,660
This....
556
00:54:13,330 --> 00:54:16,000
l never done anything like this.
557
00:54:18,670 --> 00:54:21,630
God, here l am...
558
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,880
...spilling my guts...
559
00:54:24,340 --> 00:54:25,840
...to one of my archenemies.
560
00:54:28,010 --> 00:54:30,340
But the truth is...
561
00:54:30,970 --> 00:54:35,560
...you're the closest thing to a friend l got.
What the fuck does that say?
562
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,690
Shit.
563
00:54:43,190 --> 00:54:44,860
And your name...
564
00:54:45,030 --> 00:54:47,570
...your name was on the list...
565
00:54:47,780 --> 00:54:52,070
...along with Janey, you know,
whatever the fuck her name is.
566
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:54,700
Manhattan's old girl.
567
00:54:58,870 --> 00:55:01,040
Mother, forgive me.
568
00:55:02,210 --> 00:55:03,880
And then he left.
569
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:09,510
l swear I don't know
what the hell he was talking about.
570
00:55:16,220 --> 00:55:18,230
Funny story.
571
00:55:18,690 --> 00:55:21,020
Sounds unbelievable.
572
00:55:21,770 --> 00:55:23,730
Probably true.
573
00:55:23,900 --> 00:55:26,570
So that's it?
574
00:55:26,730 --> 00:55:30,900
-l'm clean?
-You?
575
00:55:32,070 --> 00:55:33,410
Clean?
576
00:55:38,370 --> 00:55:39,460
Amygdalin.
577
00:55:39,620 --> 00:55:42,330
This phony medication
made from apricot pits.
578
00:55:42,500 --> 00:55:45,750
-lt's illegal.
-Come on.
579
00:55:47,590 --> 00:55:49,920
Please don't confiscate that.
580
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,590
l'm trying anything.
581
00:55:55,050 --> 00:55:56,560
l have cancer.
582
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:58,890
What kind of cancer?
583
00:56:00,770 --> 00:56:03,810
You know the kind
you eventually get better from?
584
00:56:05,730 --> 00:56:07,730
That ain't the kind l got.
585
00:56:10,950 --> 00:56:14,950
Rorschach's journal. October 16th.
586
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,950
Want some of this?
Fifty bucks, l'll suck your cock.
587
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,910
-Thought about Moloch's story.
-Come on.
588
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,000
Could all be lies.
589
00:56:23,170 --> 00:56:27,460
A revenge scheme
planned during his years behind bars.
590
00:56:27,630 --> 00:56:32,760
Fuck you. l make more in a week
than you make in a year, you fucking homo.
591
00:56:32,930 --> 00:56:34,510
But if it's true...
592
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,970
...what could have possibly
scared the Comedian...
593
00:56:37,140 --> 00:56:38,970
...enough to cry in front of Moloch?
594
00:56:40,350 --> 00:56:41,390
What was it he saw?
595
00:56:43,140 --> 00:56:44,810
And that list he mentioned.
596
00:56:48,980 --> 00:56:52,400
Edward Blake. The Comedian.
597
00:56:52,570 --> 00:56:54,990
Born 1918.
598
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,160
Buried in the rain.
599
00:56:57,330 --> 00:56:59,200
Murdered.
600
00:56:59,370 --> 00:57:03,410
ls that what happens to us?
No time for friends?
601
00:57:04,330 --> 00:57:07,500
Only our enemies leave roses.
602
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,710
Violent lives ending violently.
603
00:57:12,670 --> 00:57:17,760
Blake understood.
Humans are savage in nature.
604
00:57:17,930 --> 00:57:20,640
No matter how much you try
to dress it up...
605
00:57:20,810 --> 00:57:22,930
...to disguise it...
606
00:57:23,100 --> 00:57:26,230
...Blake saw society's true face.
607
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:31,020
Chose to be a parody of it. A joke.
608
00:57:31,190 --> 00:57:32,860
l heard joke once.
609
00:57:34,030 --> 00:57:37,860
Man goes to doctor, says he's depressed.
610
00:57:38,030 --> 00:57:41,870
Life seems harsh and cruel.
611
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,910
Says he feels all alone
in threatening world.
612
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,880
Doctor says treatment is simple.
613
00:57:49,290 --> 00:57:53,710
"The great clown Pagliacci is in town.
Go see him.
614
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,880
That should pick you up."
615
00:57:56,380 --> 00:57:59,340
Man bursts into tears.
616
00:57:59,510 --> 00:58:03,850
"But doctor," he says. "l am Pagliacci."
617
00:58:05,850 --> 00:58:07,560
Good joke.
618
00:58:07,850 --> 00:58:09,730
Everybody laugh.
619
00:58:09,900 --> 00:58:12,070
Roll on snare drum.
620
00:58:12,570 --> 00:58:14,070
Curtains.
621
00:58:22,540 --> 00:58:24,790
What time do you have to be
at your interview?
622
00:58:24,950 --> 00:58:26,580
Don't worry.
623
00:58:27,250 --> 00:58:29,750
We've got plenty of time.
624
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:38,970
Your finger's like licking a battery.
625
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,070
God, Jon, stop. What are you doing?
626
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:03,580
Please don't be upset.
627
00:59:03,740 --> 00:59:07,410
l always thought you liked this.
628
00:59:07,580 --> 00:59:08,960
No.
629
00:59:10,460 --> 00:59:13,460
l don't-- No.
630
00:59:14,300 --> 00:59:17,130
l don't want that.
631
00:59:17,380 --> 00:59:20,550
l don't know
what stimulates you anymore.
632
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,310
Look, l know you were just trying--
633
00:59:28,140 --> 00:59:30,600
Are you working in here
while we're in bed together?
634
00:59:30,770 --> 00:59:34,190
My work with Adrian
is at a critical stage right now.
635
00:59:34,650 --> 00:59:37,820
-l didn't think it was necessary to--
-To what?
636
00:59:37,990 --> 00:59:41,530
To what? To tell me which one of you
is giving me a pity fuck?
637
00:59:50,670 --> 00:59:53,130
My attention was completely focused
on you.
638
00:59:53,710 --> 00:59:56,000
lf you think there's a problem
with my attitude...
639
00:59:56,170 --> 00:59:58,380
... l am prepared to discuss it.
640
01:00:00,170 --> 01:00:03,890
You know how everything in this world
fits together except people.
641
01:00:04,050 --> 01:00:08,520
What am l to you?
Another puzzle to be solved?
642
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:12,390
Have your men stand back.
l'm teleporting the reactor to Karnak now.
643
01:00:13,230 --> 01:00:16,190
You're my only remaining link
to the world.
644
01:00:23,950 --> 01:00:26,530
l don't want that responsibility anymore.
645
01:00:32,420 --> 01:00:34,540
He's all yours.
646
01:00:40,590 --> 01:00:42,970
Don't worry, Jon. She'll be back.
647
01:00:44,430 --> 01:00:46,640
No, she won't.
648
01:01:00,740 --> 01:01:05,280
He's been called
many things: Hero, weapon...
649
01:01:05,780 --> 01:01:08,240
...linchpin of our national security...
650
01:01:08,410 --> 01:01:12,950
...deterrent to nuclear war,
or a man to end worlds.
651
01:01:13,290 --> 01:01:15,870
Later tonight, Dr. Manhattan...
652
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:21,000
...will answer my questions and yours
in an exclusive interview...
653
01:01:21,170 --> 01:01:26,050
...brought to you commercial-free
by Veidt Enterprises.
654
01:01:40,900 --> 01:01:42,150
Who is it?
655
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,280
lt's Laurie.
656
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,460
Sorry. l just had this new lock installed.
657
01:01:58,630 --> 01:02:01,090
l didn't know where else to go.
658
01:02:01,250 --> 01:02:04,420
Oh, it's okay. Come in.
659
01:02:11,850 --> 01:02:12,890
What's wrong?
660
01:02:14,180 --> 01:02:15,810
l left Jon.
661
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,810
Oh, God.
662
01:02:19,310 --> 01:02:21,020
l'm so sorry.
663
01:02:21,190 --> 01:02:24,030
l don't know why l'm here. l just....
664
01:02:25,570 --> 01:02:28,030
l don't know anybody else.
665
01:02:28,860 --> 01:02:32,160
l don't know anybody
except for goddamn superheroes.
666
01:02:32,740 --> 01:02:34,410
That's okay.
667
01:02:34,580 --> 01:02:36,830
You probably just had an argument
or something.
668
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:38,370
No, Dan.
669
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,630
You don't know what it's been like
living with him.
670
01:02:41,790 --> 01:02:44,920
The way he looks at things now,
it's like he doesn't...
671
01:02:45,090 --> 01:02:47,550
...remember what they are.
672
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,050
lt's like this world, this real world...
673
01:02:50,220 --> 01:02:54,010
...to him,
it's like walking through mist.
674
01:02:54,180 --> 01:02:57,770
And people are just shadows.
675
01:02:59,350 --> 01:03:01,860
Shadows in a fog.
676
01:03:02,940 --> 01:03:06,320
God, how did everything
get so tangled up?
677
01:03:07,900 --> 01:03:09,900
l'm sorry, Dan.
678
01:03:10,660 --> 01:03:13,660
This is twice now
l've ruined your evening.
679
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,080
Come on. l'm glad you came over.
680
01:03:17,250 --> 01:03:20,790
l was just gonna see Hollis
for our weekly beer session.
681
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:22,960
You're more than welcome to join.
682
01:03:24,130 --> 01:03:27,420
ln fact, l insist.
683
01:03:59,910 --> 01:04:02,750
Terrific. Dr. Manhattan arrives
and no one thinks to tell me.
684
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:04,790
WOHe just--
-We don't have time for makeup.
685
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,250
That blue is too light for television.
686
01:04:10,050 --> 01:04:12,050
ls that dark enough?
687
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,760
Yeah, that's dark enough.
688
01:04:16,930 --> 01:04:20,600
The weight of the world's on him,
but does he quit? No.
689
01:04:20,770 --> 01:04:23,020
News vendors always cope. They're the--
690
01:04:23,190 --> 01:04:26,770
Oh, God, here comes
that homeless guy again.
691
01:04:27,190 --> 01:04:29,980
l told you, this month's issue
still hasn't arrived yet.
692
01:04:30,150 --> 01:04:33,820
Why do you care about that right-wing rag?
Those bastards don't give a damn.
693
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,490
Hold up. Here they come.
694
01:04:41,290 --> 01:04:43,790
-Seymour.
-Bernie, how's tricks?
695
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:45,000
Fine, fine.
696
01:04:45,170 --> 01:04:48,460
See this guy behind me?
Been bugging me all week.
697
01:04:51,380 --> 01:04:55,590
Maybe we should get a cab.
These are bad neighborhoods.
698
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,390
Yeah, well, l'm in a bad mood.
699
01:05:11,990 --> 01:05:14,240
Girl.
What we got here?
700
01:05:14,410 --> 01:05:17,280
Here's a list of Pentagon-approved
no-go areas.
701
01:05:17,450 --> 01:05:20,240
Afghanistan will obviously come up,
but just play it cool...
702
01:05:20,410 --> 01:05:22,790
...and try not to get
into any tight corners.
703
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,670
--a renowned nuclear physicist,
who, through a terrible accident...
704
01:05:26,830 --> 01:05:32,590
...was gifted with extraordinary powers,
capable of bending matter to his will.
705
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:37,010
Today, the world knows him
as Dr. Manhattan.
706
01:05:37,180 --> 01:05:38,510
Welcome.
707
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:44,770
Thank you.
708
01:05:44,940 --> 01:05:46,850
That's right.
709
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:56,200
Ms. Black, you have the first question.
710
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:57,820
Dr. Manhattan, as you know...
711
01:05:57,990 --> 01:06:00,700
...the Doomsday Clock
is a symbolic clock face...
712
01:06:00,870 --> 01:06:04,410
...analogizing humankind's proximity
to extinction...
713
01:06:04,750 --> 01:06:07,750
...midnight representing the threat
of nuclear war.
714
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,090
As of now, it stands at four minutes
to midnight.
715
01:06:11,710 --> 01:06:14,210
Would you agree that we're that close
to annihilation?
716
01:06:14,590 --> 01:06:16,930
My father was a watchmaker.
717
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:22,100
He abandoned it when Einstein discovered
that time is relative.
718
01:06:23,270 --> 01:06:25,270
l would only agree
that a symbolic clock...
719
01:06:25,430 --> 01:06:27,440
...is as nourishing to the intellect...
720
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,900
...as a photograph of oxygen
to a drowning man.
721
01:06:33,230 --> 01:06:34,940
So you're saying there is no danger.
722
01:06:35,110 --> 01:06:39,110
Even in a world without nuclear
weapons, there would still be danger.
723
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,960
And would you say, as so many claim...
724
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:48,920
...that you are, in fact, a god...
725
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,920
...given you see the past
and future simultaneously?
726
01:06:52,090 --> 01:06:54,380
l can only see my own past...
727
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:58,720
...my own future. l am not omniscient.
728
01:06:59,300 --> 01:07:00,680
Doug Roth, your question?
729
01:07:00,850 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaking of your past, Dr. Manhattan...
730
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,520
...do you remember a man
named Wally Weaver?
731
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:11,810
Yes. We were both physicists together
at the Gila Flats Research Base.
732
01:07:12,310 --> 01:07:13,900
He died of cancer.
733
01:07:14,780 --> 01:07:17,030
-He was a good man.
How about Edgar Jacobi...
734
01:07:17,190 --> 01:07:20,110
...also known as the supervillain Moloch?
735
01:07:21,070 --> 01:07:25,160
You encountered him several times
in the '60s: battles, conflicts.
736
01:07:25,370 --> 01:07:27,830
Did you know that he has cancer as well?
737
01:07:28,790 --> 01:07:30,000
l wasn't told.
738
01:07:30,170 --> 01:07:32,420
And what about
General Anthony Randolph?
739
01:07:32,590 --> 01:07:36,000
He was your handler when you first
started working for the government.
740
01:07:36,420 --> 01:07:37,460
Cancer.
741
01:07:37,630 --> 01:07:40,300
You're suggesting l was the cause.
742
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,680
From where l'm standing,
it's starting to look pretty conclusive.
743
01:07:43,850 --> 01:07:45,890
Even if that's the case, it's irrelevant.
744
01:07:46,060 --> 01:07:48,850
A live human body
and a deceased human body...
745
01:07:49,020 --> 01:07:51,140
...have the same number of particles.
746
01:07:53,860 --> 01:07:55,770
Structurally, there's no difference.
747
01:07:56,900 --> 01:07:59,150
All right. Let's settle down, please.
748
01:08:05,030 --> 01:08:06,280
What about Janey Slater?
749
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,370
You think it makes a difference to her?
750
01:08:10,460 --> 01:08:11,790
Janey?
751
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:13,670
Your ex-girlfriend?
752
01:08:13,830 --> 01:08:17,500
She was a physicist too.
You saw each other for 11 years.
753
01:08:17,670 --> 01:08:19,170
Doug, one question at a time.
754
01:08:19,340 --> 01:08:22,720
She has cancer as well.
Doctors have given her six months.
755
01:08:22,890 --> 01:08:24,720
lsn't that right, Miss Slater?
756
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:42,030
You were the world to me, Jon.
757
01:08:42,660 --> 01:08:44,860
You were my whole life.
758
01:08:45,820 --> 01:08:48,410
Do you remember how many times
you said you loved me?
759
01:08:48,580 --> 01:08:50,290
Janey, l wasn't told.
760
01:08:50,750 --> 01:08:56,130
l stuck by you after the accident.
l gave you everything.
761
01:09:01,170 --> 01:09:02,840
This is how you repay me?
762
01:09:03,260 --> 01:09:08,180
-Janey, l wasn't told. l didn't know.
-Damn you, Jon. Goddamn you.
763
01:09:08,350 --> 01:09:10,350
Janey, wait.
764
01:09:11,730 --> 01:09:14,190
-That's it. This interview is over.
Get up there.
765
01:09:14,350 --> 01:09:16,730
Get those cameras off.
Everybody back off.
766
01:09:16,900 --> 01:09:20,570
Everybody back off.
l need some backup here. Leave him alone.
767
01:09:20,730 --> 01:09:26,860
Please, if everyone
would just go away...
768
01:09:27,030 --> 01:09:29,910
...and leave me alone....
769
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:31,490
Do you care to comment?
770
01:09:31,660 --> 01:09:34,710
l said, leave me alone!
771
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:02,230
Jesus.
772
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:04,940
Us...
773
01:10:05,820 --> 01:10:07,660
...getting mugged.
774
01:10:09,990 --> 01:10:11,620
Let's go.
775
01:10:17,330 --> 01:10:19,130
l'm shaking.
776
01:10:23,340 --> 01:10:25,130
You know what?
777
01:10:25,470 --> 01:10:28,970
l'm wiped. l'm just gonna call it a night.
778
01:10:29,140 --> 01:10:32,390
Oh, are you sure you don't wanna
come by Hollis' with me...
779
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:34,810
...and shake off the adrenaline?
780
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,730
l think l've had enough hero stuff
for one night.
781
01:10:39,860 --> 01:10:42,230
lt helped having you listen.
782
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:44,280
Any time.
783
01:10:44,990 --> 01:10:46,860
Take care, Dan.
784
01:10:47,650 --> 01:10:49,990
lt's a rough world out there.
785
01:10:51,450 --> 01:10:52,660
Be seeing you.
786
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:58,120
You're late.
787
01:10:58,290 --> 01:11:01,380
Ah, l know. l know.
You won't believe what happened.
788
01:11:01,540 --> 01:11:04,340
Dr. Manhattan just lost it on live TV.
789
01:11:04,510 --> 01:11:06,210
Wait, what?
790
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:13,720
l was just with Laurie. She doesn't know.
791
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:18,140
She's gonna know soon enough.
The whole world will know.
792
01:11:18,310 --> 01:11:21,020
l said, leave me alone!
793
01:11:30,860 --> 01:11:33,070
l am looking at the stars.
794
01:11:33,580 --> 01:11:35,580
They're so far away...
795
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,700
...and their light takes so long
to reach us...
796
01:11:41,420 --> 01:11:45,630
...all we ever see of stars
are their old photographs.
797
01:11:49,220 --> 01:11:53,050
It is July, 1959, and l am in love.
798
01:11:53,890 --> 01:11:55,560
That's great.
799
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:57,390
-You can pick it up tomorrow.
-Okay.
800
01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:59,270
-Seventy-five cents.
-Okay, thank you.
801
01:11:59,430 --> 01:12:00,480
Thank you.
802
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:04,860
Gosh, Jon, l wish he gave us a little notice.
l'm sure l made a face.
803
01:12:05,020 --> 01:12:10,030
Oh, no, no.
l'm sure that you'll look beautiful.
804
01:12:13,910 --> 01:12:16,240
Her name is Janey Slater.
805
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,750
She is a physicist, like me.
806
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:22,790
I am 30 years old.
807
01:12:27,500 --> 01:12:31,420
We were introduced by a good friend
of mine from college, Wally Weaver.
808
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,180
It is February 12th, 1981.
809
01:12:38,350 --> 01:12:42,100
Wally dies of cancer,
of which they now say l am the cause.
810
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,500
That night, Janey and l make love
for the first time.
811
01:13:10,340 --> 01:13:13,340
A month from now,
the accident awaits me.
812
01:13:20,810 --> 01:13:24,310
Oh, l'll catch up with you guys.
l think l left my watch inside.
813
01:13:24,980 --> 01:13:27,230
Hey. Let's just wait a second.
814
01:13:30,650 --> 01:13:35,030
l cross the room to the
lntrinsic Field Center. I find my watch.
815
01:13:41,750 --> 01:13:42,910
When l get to the door...
816
01:13:44,670 --> 01:13:45,870
...Wally is turning white.
817
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:50,130
The program's locked in.
We can't override the time lock.
818
01:13:51,510 --> 01:13:53,420
l am terrified.
819
01:13:53,590 --> 01:13:54,720
Jon?
820
01:13:59,970 --> 01:14:01,720
l'm sorry, Jon...
821
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,230
...but l can't--
822
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,020
Janey, don't leave me!
823
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:11,570
Don't leave me!
824
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:48,390
It is May 12th, 1959,
when l'm introduced to Janey.
825
01:14:48,810 --> 01:14:51,020
She buys me a beer...
826
01:14:51,230 --> 01:14:54,070
...the first time a woman
has done this for me.
827
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:59,240
As she passes me the cold,
perspiring glass...
828
01:14:59,910 --> 01:15:01,120
...our fingers touch.
829
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,170
Yes, Jon, good.
830
01:15:16,340 --> 01:15:21,840
Now it's just a question of reassembling
the components in the correct sequence.
831
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:26,770
l feel fear...
832
01:15:28,020 --> 01:15:30,140
...for the last time.
833
01:15:46,950 --> 01:15:49,410
A token funeral is held.
834
01:15:49,580 --> 01:15:51,750
There is nothing to bury.
835
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,500
Janey frames the snapshot.
836
01:15:54,710 --> 01:15:57,840
lt's the only photograph of me
anyone has.
837
01:15:59,130 --> 01:16:04,010
A circulatory system is seen
by the perimeter fence.
838
01:16:04,430 --> 01:16:05,890
A few days later...
839
01:16:06,060 --> 01:16:09,310
...a partially muscled skeleton
stands in a hallway...
840
01:16:09,480 --> 01:16:13,310
...and screams for a moment
before vanishing.
841
01:16:38,670 --> 01:16:40,670
Oh, God.
842
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:42,380
Jon?
843
01:16:43,430 --> 01:16:45,260
ls that you?
844
01:16:46,010 --> 01:16:48,970
Nations around the world
reeling from this morning's announcement...
845
01:16:49,140 --> 01:16:51,770
...possibly the most significant event
in recent history.
846
01:16:51,940 --> 01:16:56,020
We repeat, the superman exists,
and he is American.
847
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:04,990
They call me Dr. Manhattan.
848
01:17:07,330 --> 01:17:09,240
They explain the name
has been chosen...
849
01:17:09,410 --> 01:17:13,660
...for the ominous associations
it will raise in America's enemies.
850
01:17:18,250 --> 01:17:21,590
The marketing boys say l need a logo.
851
01:17:30,390 --> 01:17:32,770
lf I'm to have a symbol...
852
01:17:34,730 --> 01:17:37,400
...it shall be one l respect.
853
01:17:47,410 --> 01:17:50,450
They are shaping me
into something gaudy...
854
01:17:51,540 --> 01:17:53,660
...something lethal.
855
01:17:58,460 --> 01:18:01,000
In January, 1971...
856
01:18:01,170 --> 01:18:05,130
...President Nixon asks me to intervene
in Vietnam...
857
01:18:05,300 --> 01:18:08,090
...something that his predecessors
would not ask.
858
01:18:09,390 --> 01:18:12,220
A week later, the conflict ends.
859
01:18:12,390 --> 01:18:16,810
Some of the Vietcong forces
wanna surrender to me personally.
860
01:18:20,270 --> 01:18:23,860
Hollis Mason, a retired costume hero,
writes a book.
861
01:18:24,030 --> 01:18:28,860
In it, he calls my arrival
the dawn of the superhero.
862
01:18:29,700 --> 01:18:32,450
l am not sure if l know what that means.
863
01:18:48,930 --> 01:18:52,010
You see, at the time, l was misquoted.
864
01:18:52,310 --> 01:18:55,350
l never said, "The superman exists
and he is American."
865
01:18:55,520 --> 01:19:01,480
What l said was, "God exists,
and he is American."
866
01:19:01,980 --> 01:19:04,480
Now, if you begin to feel an intense...
867
01:19:04,650 --> 01:19:08,530
...and crushing feeling of religious terror
at the concept...
868
01:19:08,990 --> 01:19:10,990
...don't be alarmed.
869
01:19:11,660 --> 01:19:15,660
That indicates only
that you are still sane.
870
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,290
lt is Christmas, 1963.
871
01:19:21,630 --> 01:19:25,340
Janey tells me she is afraid, and worried.
872
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,760
She says l am like a god now.
873
01:19:29,470 --> 01:19:31,640
l tell her I don't think there is a God.
874
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,430
And if there is, l'm nothing like him.
875
01:19:39,190 --> 01:19:41,650
l tell her l still want her...
876
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,400
...and that l always will.
877
01:19:47,490 --> 01:19:52,160
As l lie to her, it is September 4th, 1970.
878
01:19:52,990 --> 01:19:55,870
l am in a room
full of people wearing disguises.
879
01:19:57,330 --> 01:20:01,580
A very young girl looks at me and smiles.
880
01:20:03,460 --> 01:20:05,460
She's beautiful.
881
01:20:09,010 --> 01:20:14,890
After each long kiss, she plants a smaller,
gentler one upon my lips...
882
01:20:15,060 --> 01:20:16,640
...like a signature.
883
01:20:18,020 --> 01:20:21,190
Janey accuses me of chasing jailbait.
884
01:20:21,690 --> 01:20:26,940
She bursts into angry tears,
asking if it's because she's getting older.
885
01:20:27,110 --> 01:20:28,940
lt's true.
886
01:20:31,030 --> 01:20:34,070
She's aging more noticeably every day...
887
01:20:40,620 --> 01:20:43,460
...while l am standing still.
888
01:20:44,420 --> 01:20:47,090
l prefer the stillness here.
889
01:20:48,050 --> 01:20:50,130
l am tired of Earth.
890
01:20:50,300 --> 01:20:51,970
These people.
891
01:20:52,550 --> 01:20:56,260
l'm tired of being caught
in the tangle of their lives.
892
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:22,410
They claim their labors
are to build a heaven...
893
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:26,460
...yet their heaven is populated
with horrors.
894
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,590
Perhaps the world is not made.
895
01:21:30,590 --> 01:21:32,590
Perhaps nothing is made.
896
01:21:33,430 --> 01:21:36,970
A clock without a craftsman.
897
01:21:37,930 --> 01:21:39,930
lt's too late.
898
01:21:40,350 --> 01:21:42,270
Always has been...
899
01:21:42,890 --> 01:21:45,100
...always will be...
900
01:21:45,650 --> 01:21:47,310
...too late.
901
01:21:48,770 --> 01:21:51,480
And you have no idea
where he would've gone.
902
01:21:51,650 --> 01:21:52,940
How would l know?
903
01:21:53,110 --> 01:21:55,820
Probably on the other side
of the world studying molecules.
904
01:21:55,990 --> 01:21:58,530
Our satellites have done
a sweep of the planet.
905
01:21:58,700 --> 01:22:00,990
There's no trace of his
energy signature anywhere.
906
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:02,490
Really?
907
01:22:02,660 --> 01:22:06,040
Miss Jupiter, did you and
Dr. Manhattan have a fight today?
908
01:22:06,210 --> 01:22:07,710
None of your fucking business.
909
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:11,210
lt is when you're on government payroll
and you're not doing your job.
910
01:22:12,050 --> 01:22:15,840
That's as close to the word "whore"
as you're gonna get with me, Agent Forbes.
911
01:22:24,020 --> 01:22:25,520
Smoke?
912
01:22:26,020 --> 01:22:28,270
My apologies, Miss Jupiter.
913
01:22:28,440 --> 01:22:31,820
You know how important Dr. Manhattan
is to our national security.
914
01:22:32,690 --> 01:22:34,650
You can imagine our concern.
915
01:22:34,820 --> 01:22:36,360
l can only imagine.
916
01:22:42,580 --> 01:22:46,580
Ain't nothing gonna matter once
those nukes start flying. We'll all be dust.
917
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,580
Then Ozymandias here...
918
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:52,800
...will be the smartest man
on the cinder.
919
01:23:10,980 --> 01:23:14,070
Laurel? Laurel Jane?
920
01:23:15,610 --> 01:23:17,400
You're Sally Jupiter's kid.
921
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:20,570
You're the Comedian, right?
922
01:23:20,740 --> 01:23:22,240
You were pretty cool in there.
923
01:23:23,030 --> 01:23:26,750
You know, your mom, she was one
of the all-time champion beauties.
924
01:23:27,910 --> 01:23:32,250
You got her eyes, you know.
You even have that same funny little mole.
925
01:23:32,750 --> 01:23:34,630
Take your hands off her.
926
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:36,920
Hey, doll. Long time no see.
927
01:23:37,090 --> 01:23:40,680
Not long enough in my book, Eddie.
Get in the car.
928
01:23:42,260 --> 01:23:44,260
Are there no depths you won't sink to?
929
01:23:44,430 --> 01:23:48,270
Jesus Christ, Sally.
Can't a guy talk to his...
930
01:23:48,940 --> 01:23:50,640
...you know, old friend's daughter?
931
01:23:50,810 --> 01:23:52,940
l mean, what the hell do you think l am?
932
01:23:53,110 --> 01:23:54,770
We found him!
933
01:23:57,820 --> 01:23:59,950
-We found him.
Where is he?
934
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:04,660
Mars.
935
01:24:10,710 --> 01:24:12,710
Mr. President...
936
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:17,500
...the Soviets have moved their tanks
just short of the Afghan border.
937
01:24:18,630 --> 01:24:19,630
They are...
938
01:24:19,970 --> 01:24:24,890
...testing us to see if we manufactured
Dr. Manhattan's disappearance...
939
01:24:25,050 --> 01:24:28,140
...to coax a move out of them.
940
01:24:28,310 --> 01:24:32,310
lf they realize it's not a hoax,
they'll probably start with air strikes.
941
01:24:32,480 --> 01:24:36,520
lf they do, they'll have Afghanistan
under control in a matter of days.
942
01:24:36,940 --> 01:24:41,650
A watchdog group of nuclear scientists
has moved the Doomsday Clock...
943
01:24:41,820 --> 01:24:44,030
...to two minutes until midnight.
944
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,370
Get this shit off the screen.
945
01:24:47,540 --> 01:24:50,580
Who are these assholes to say
when doomsday approaches?
946
01:24:50,750 --> 01:24:53,210
l say when doomsday is approaching.
947
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:00,510
Now, then.
948
01:25:01,510 --> 01:25:04,010
What about the rest
of the Warsaw Pact countries?
949
01:25:04,180 --> 01:25:08,390
Czechoslovakia, Poland and East Germany
have mobilized their forces.
950
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:11,730
But no movement yet.
They're playing a wait-and-see.
951
01:25:11,890 --> 01:25:13,520
Letting the Russians take the lead.
952
01:25:17,860 --> 01:25:21,070
Bold moves, Henry.
That's what's needed right now.
953
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:24,030
We can't let these fuckers
think we're weak.
954
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:28,450
Yes. They must fear the madman
Richard Nixon.
955
01:25:33,540 --> 01:25:37,000
How soon can we be ready
for a preemptive strike?
956
01:25:38,170 --> 01:25:39,210
Two days.
957
01:25:39,590 --> 01:25:43,470
We have a 54 percent chance
of wiping out the entire U.S.S.R...
958
01:25:43,630 --> 01:25:45,720
...before they get their missiles airborne.
959
01:25:47,300 --> 01:25:48,890
What would our losses be?
960
01:25:49,060 --> 01:25:50,930
Assuming conservative projections...
961
01:25:51,100 --> 01:25:54,480
...of how many Soviet warheads
are destroyed beforehand...
962
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:56,520
...we'll lose all of the East Coast.
963
01:25:56,940 --> 01:25:58,480
The last gasp...
964
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:01,820
...of the Harvard establishment.
965
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,530
Let's see them think their way
out of fission.
966
01:26:05,700 --> 01:26:09,280
With anticipated wind patterns,
the fallout drift would head south.
967
01:26:09,450 --> 01:26:11,660
Mexico would catch the worst of it.
968
01:26:11,830 --> 01:26:13,910
Most of the farm belt
might remain unaffected.
969
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:15,790
Not so bad...
970
01:26:16,580 --> 01:26:18,750
...all things considered.
971
01:26:21,300 --> 01:26:23,130
Mr. President...
972
01:26:23,300 --> 01:26:24,920
...what would you like to do?
973
01:26:33,270 --> 01:26:35,600
Take us to DEFCON two.
974
01:26:35,770 --> 01:26:37,770
Begin fueling the bombers.
975
01:26:38,350 --> 01:26:41,270
Dr. Manhattan has two days.
976
01:26:41,690 --> 01:26:43,480
After that...
977
01:26:43,650 --> 01:26:47,280
...humanity is in the hands
of a higher authority than mine.
978
01:26:47,910 --> 01:26:50,870
Let's just hope he's on our side.
979
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,200
There must be a way to reach him.
Excuse me.
980
01:26:54,370 --> 01:26:56,040
Radio transmission, space shuttles--
981
01:26:56,210 --> 01:26:57,460
Excuse me.
What?
982
01:26:57,620 --> 01:26:59,920
l need to use the restroom.
983
01:27:21,480 --> 01:27:23,110
Don't you understand?
984
01:27:23,270 --> 01:27:25,900
The only thing that can
bring Jon back is Jon.
985
01:27:26,070 --> 01:27:28,030
lf he wants to find me, he will.
986
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,660
l've been a prisoner in my life
long enough.
987
01:27:31,030 --> 01:27:32,740
Without Dr. Manhattan around...
988
01:27:32,910 --> 01:27:35,830
...to bully the Russians into peace,
Mr. Veidt...
989
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:40,370
...people are going to need good,
old-fashioned energy to rely on.
990
01:27:40,540 --> 01:27:42,210
You can understand.
991
01:27:42,380 --> 01:27:47,510
The world can't just quit on oil
and nuclear power cold turkey.
992
01:27:47,670 --> 01:27:49,880
You'll dismantle
our entire economy overnight.
993
01:27:50,050 --> 01:27:52,840
You're right, Lee. And why free energy?
994
01:27:53,010 --> 01:27:55,890
Well, "free" is just another word
for "socialist."
995
01:27:56,060 --> 01:27:58,020
We might have to
make a public inquiry...
996
01:27:58,180 --> 01:28:01,480
...into any past communist affiliations
you might have had.
997
01:28:01,850 --> 01:28:04,730
Mr. lacocca, gentlemen...
998
01:28:05,900 --> 01:28:08,150
... l respect your position...
999
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:12,200
...and what you've accomplished
as captains of industry. l do.
1000
01:28:12,620 --> 01:28:15,120
You wanna know my past? Hm?
1001
01:28:15,910 --> 01:28:18,660
Okay. Happily.
1002
01:28:18,830 --> 01:28:22,290
lt's a matter of public record that by 17,
both my parents were dead...
1003
01:28:22,460 --> 01:28:24,290
...leaving me alone.
1004
01:28:25,290 --> 01:28:28,670
l guess you could say
l've always been alone.
1005
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:33,720
They say l'm the smartest man in the world,
but the truth is l've often felt stupid...
1006
01:28:33,890 --> 01:28:37,390
...at being unable to relate to anyone.
1007
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,980
Well, anyone living, that is.
1008
01:28:41,140 --> 01:28:43,100
The only person
with whom l felt kinship...
1009
01:28:43,270 --> 01:28:46,400
...died 300 years
before the birth of Christ.
1010
01:28:46,570 --> 01:28:51,950
Alexander of Macedonia,
or Alexander the Great, as you know him.
1011
01:28:52,110 --> 01:28:55,160
His vision of a united world was....
1012
01:28:58,450 --> 01:29:00,160
Well, it was unprecedented.
1013
01:29:00,330 --> 01:29:02,040
l wanted...
1014
01:29:02,210 --> 01:29:04,500
...needed to match
his accomplishments...
1015
01:29:04,670 --> 01:29:07,880
...so l resolved to apply antiquity's
teachings to our world today.
1016
01:29:08,050 --> 01:29:11,550
And so began my path to conquest.
1017
01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:14,930
Conquest not of men...
1018
01:29:15,090 --> 01:29:17,930
...but of the evils that beset them.
1019
01:29:18,180 --> 01:29:23,100
Fossil fuels, oil, nuclear power...
1020
01:29:23,270 --> 01:29:26,100
...are like a drug, and you,
along with foreign interests...
1021
01:29:26,270 --> 01:29:27,900
-...are the pushers.
-Now, listen.
1022
01:29:28,440 --> 01:29:30,110
No.
1023
01:29:32,450 --> 01:29:34,240
You listen.
1024
01:29:35,450 --> 01:29:37,950
The world will survive...
1025
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:41,620
...and it deserves more
than you've been able to provide.
1026
01:29:41,790 --> 01:29:44,370
So let's cut to it, shall we?
1027
01:29:44,620 --> 01:29:47,130
l'm worth more
than all of your corporations combined.
1028
01:29:47,290 --> 01:29:50,880
l could buy and sell you, something
you should factor into your decision...
1029
01:29:51,050 --> 01:29:57,340
...should you choose
to make our disagreement public.
1030
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:01,260
l think you know the way out.
1031
01:30:02,980 --> 01:30:04,730
Gentlemen.
1032
01:30:07,230 --> 01:30:10,730
The toy people wanna talk to you about
new villains for the Ozymandias line.
1033
01:30:10,900 --> 01:30:14,360
-Seems all the old villains are dead.
-Mr. Veidt?
1034
01:30:14,530 --> 01:30:18,110
-l think l have some ideas.
-Mr. Veidt?
1035
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,080
l think we got off on the wrong foot.
1036
01:31:00,070 --> 01:31:01,780
He's got a poison capsule.
1037
01:31:02,450 --> 01:31:06,910
Don't bite down, you son of a bitch.
Who sent you? l want a name.
1038
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:08,210
Give me a name!
1039
01:31:20,300 --> 01:31:21,590
Suicide pill.
1040
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,640
Potassium cyanide.
Guy was dead before he hit the ground.
1041
01:31:25,810 --> 01:31:27,640
Thanks, hon.
1042
01:31:28,140 --> 01:31:30,190
Then Rorschach was right.
1043
01:31:30,350 --> 01:31:32,520
This wasn't some lone nut.
1044
01:31:32,690 --> 01:31:36,820
lt's an organization:
well-funded, well-equipped.
1045
01:31:37,780 --> 01:31:39,740
But who'd wanna kill us now?
1046
01:31:41,030 --> 01:31:44,160
l don't know, but it's not safe out here.
1047
01:31:49,710 --> 01:31:51,670
So no word from Jon?
1048
01:31:52,630 --> 01:31:54,250
No.
1049
01:31:54,630 --> 01:31:56,550
Well, listen...
1050
01:31:57,050 --> 01:31:58,760
...why don't you come stay with me?
1051
01:32:00,090 --> 01:32:03,090
Oh, no.
That's sweet, but l wouldn't wanna impose.
1052
01:32:03,550 --> 01:32:06,930
Oh, no. No.
Think of it as doing me a favor.
1053
01:32:08,770 --> 01:32:11,100
l wouldn't have to worry about you
being out there.
1054
01:32:14,480 --> 01:32:15,730
Okay.
1055
01:32:18,780 --> 01:32:24,240
Rorschach's journal, October 21st, 1985.
1056
01:32:24,410 --> 01:32:28,500
On 43rd and 7th, saw Dreiberg
and Jupiter leaving diner.
1057
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:31,830
They didn't know me without my mask.
1058
01:32:32,670 --> 01:32:34,330
An affair?
1059
01:32:34,500 --> 01:32:37,340
Did she break Manhattan's heart
to engineer his exile...
1060
01:32:37,510 --> 01:32:40,550
...to make room for Dreiberg?
1061
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:44,180
Does Manhattan even have a heart
to break?
1062
01:32:45,430 --> 01:32:48,220
The alley was cold, deserted.
1063
01:32:48,390 --> 01:32:52,980
My things were where I left them,
waiting for me.
1064
01:32:53,150 --> 01:32:57,520
My coat, my shoes, my spotless gloves.
1065
01:32:59,070 --> 01:33:00,990
My face.
1066
01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:05,160
Putting them on,
I abandoned my disguise...
1067
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:07,490
...became myself.
1068
01:33:07,990 --> 01:33:11,080
Free from fear or weakness...
1069
01:33:11,250 --> 01:33:12,330
...or lust.
1070
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:15,790
Down alley...
1071
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:17,840
...heard woman scream.
1072
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:22,010
First bubbling note
of city's evening chorus.
1073
01:33:22,170 --> 01:33:23,970
Attempted rape.
1074
01:33:24,140 --> 01:33:25,300
Mugging.
1075
01:33:25,470 --> 01:33:26,930
Both.
1076
01:33:28,430 --> 01:33:30,140
The man turned...
1077
01:33:30,310 --> 01:33:33,440
...and there was something
rewarding in his eyes.
1078
01:33:34,400 --> 01:33:36,860
Sometimes the night is generous to me.
1079
01:33:42,990 --> 01:33:47,320
Veidt's assassin was a local lowlife
named Roy Chess.
1080
01:33:47,870 --> 01:33:50,660
At his apartment, l found clues.
1081
01:33:51,870 --> 01:33:54,910
Seems he worked
at Pyramid Transnational.
1082
01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:57,670
l've seen the logo before...
1083
01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:00,130
...at Moloch's.
1084
01:34:30,490 --> 01:34:33,410
Someone tried to shoot
the world's smartest man today, Moloch.
1085
01:34:34,250 --> 01:34:37,080
Guy worked for Pyramid Transnational.
1086
01:34:37,250 --> 01:34:39,380
More than a just delivery service,
l take it.
1087
01:34:39,540 --> 01:34:43,460
Last time l was here, l saw a pension check
written from the same company.
1088
01:34:43,630 --> 01:34:47,130
l'm guessing it's a front set up
by whoever wants us masks dead.
1089
01:34:47,300 --> 01:34:50,930
Now, no more lies, Moloch.
Who runs Pyramid?
1090
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,440
Rorschach.
1091
01:34:57,600 --> 01:34:59,940
This is the police.
We know you're in there.
1092
01:35:00,110 --> 01:35:01,980
No. No!
1093
01:35:02,150 --> 01:35:05,280
lf there's anybody in there with you,
send them out unharmed.
1094
01:35:05,440 --> 01:35:08,400
No. No, no, no!
1095
01:35:08,570 --> 01:35:12,950
Framed. Walked right into it.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
1096
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:14,790
Never, never surrender.
1097
01:35:14,950 --> 01:35:17,960
All right.
l hope you're ready, hero.
1098
01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:19,120
When you are.
1099
01:35:41,810 --> 01:35:42,860
One...
1100
01:35:47,860 --> 01:35:48,950
...two...
1101
01:35:52,950 --> 01:35:53,990
...three.
1102
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:47,750
Come on.
1103
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:00,020
Son of a bitch.
1104
01:37:00,980 --> 01:37:03,390
-Christ, he stinks.
-Get that mask off him.
1105
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:06,400
-l got it.
-No. No!
1106
01:37:06,570 --> 01:37:09,230
My face! Give me back my face!
1107
01:37:10,070 --> 01:37:12,740
The masked vigilante Rorschach
was apprehended...
1108
01:37:12,910 --> 01:37:16,740
...and identified
as Walter Kovacs, a 35-year-old white male.
1109
01:37:16,910 --> 01:37:19,950
Little's known about Kovacs,
but he was charged with the murder...
1110
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:23,960
...of Edgar Jacobi, found shot in the head
in his home in the Bronx.
1111
01:37:24,120 --> 01:37:27,170
Police officers were injured
and Jacobi's home was set ablaze...
1112
01:37:27,340 --> 01:37:29,920
...during the violent course
of the capture.
1113
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:35,010
Rorschach!
1114
01:37:35,180 --> 01:37:38,930
l'm gonna fuck you
like l fucked your mother!
1115
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:48,480
Come on out, Rorschach!
1116
01:37:48,650 --> 01:37:50,900
Walter Kovacs.
1117
01:37:51,070 --> 01:37:53,950
ls that your name? Walter?
1118
01:37:54,110 --> 01:37:58,160
Well, let me explain
your situation here, Walter.
1119
01:37:58,330 --> 01:37:59,910
You cooperate with me...
1120
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:04,580
...and l may be able to convince them
that you should be treated medically.
1121
01:38:04,750 --> 01:38:08,290
ln a hospital. l believe
that would be good for you.
1122
01:38:08,460 --> 01:38:14,510
But the authorities wanna put you
with the general population.
1123
01:38:15,380 --> 01:38:18,470
-Prison's a prison.
-Uh-huh. Yes.
1124
01:38:19,050 --> 01:38:22,470
But the difference is, down there...
1125
01:38:23,060 --> 01:38:24,430
...you'd be eaten alive.
1126
01:38:25,390 --> 01:38:29,650
You're responsible for a lot of them
being in prison here, Walter.
1127
01:38:32,690 --> 01:38:34,150
Tell me what you see.
1128
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:40,990
A pretty butterfly.
1129
01:38:44,830 --> 01:38:46,660
What about now? What do you see here?
1130
01:38:51,750 --> 01:38:52,840
Mom?
1131
01:38:53,170 --> 01:38:54,550
ls he hurting you?
1132
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:57,590
You got a fucking kid in here.
l get that at home.
1133
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:01,300
Bastard.
l should have had that abortion.
1134
01:39:10,940 --> 01:39:12,860
Some nice flowers.
1135
01:39:18,570 --> 01:39:20,240
I heard this guy's mom's a whore.
1136
01:39:22,530 --> 01:39:25,290
Did you catch any diseases from her?
1137
01:39:25,450 --> 01:39:30,250
Huh? Whoreson. Listen to me, retard.
1138
01:39:31,540 --> 01:39:34,800
Hey, you think she'd suck my dick
for a dollar?
1139
01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:54,570
Clouds.
1140
01:39:59,490 --> 01:40:02,240
Tell me about Rorschach.
Will you do that, Walter?
1141
01:40:02,410 --> 01:40:05,910
You keep calling me Walter.
l don't like you.
1142
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:11,210
You don't like me.
All right, why is that, exactly?
1143
01:40:11,380 --> 01:40:12,750
You're fat.
1144
01:40:13,340 --> 01:40:16,460
Wealthy. Liberal sensibilities.
1145
01:40:16,630 --> 01:40:18,630
What you call compassion.
1146
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:21,090
Wanting to protect
and understand the guilty.
1147
01:40:21,260 --> 01:40:25,180
This rotting society,
what it calls rehabilitation.
1148
01:40:25,350 --> 01:40:26,810
Nothing short of compromise.
1149
01:40:26,970 --> 01:40:29,560
ls it a compromise
to want to make you well?
1150
01:40:29,730 --> 01:40:33,940
There are other men in here with behavior
more extreme than mine, doctor.
1151
01:40:34,610 --> 01:40:37,610
Of course, they're not famous, are they?
1152
01:40:37,990 --> 01:40:40,700
You wanna know about Rorschach?
1153
01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:43,950
l'll tell you about Rorschach.
1154
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:47,740
Once a man has seen society's
black underbelly...
1155
01:40:47,910 --> 01:40:50,540
...he can never turn his back on it.
1156
01:40:50,710 --> 01:40:53,290
Never pretend, like you do...
1157
01:40:53,580 --> 01:40:57,800
...that it doesn't exist, no matter who
orders him to look the other way.
1158
01:40:58,090 --> 01:41:01,630
We don't do this thing...
1159
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:03,930
...because it's permitted.
1160
01:41:04,550 --> 01:41:07,140
We do it because we have to.
1161
01:41:07,850 --> 01:41:10,140
We do it because we're compelled.
1162
01:41:11,980 --> 01:41:14,400
l was investigating a kidnap case.
1163
01:41:16,150 --> 01:41:17,980
Blaire Roche.
1164
01:41:18,150 --> 01:41:21,610
Six-year-old girl. l was young then.
1165
01:41:22,490 --> 01:41:24,820
Too soft on criminals.
1166
01:41:25,740 --> 01:41:27,370
l let them live.
1167
01:41:28,660 --> 01:41:34,370
Broke a man's arm to get a tip.
Led me to the missing girl's location.
1168
01:41:42,010 --> 01:41:44,430
l knew the girl was here...
1169
01:41:44,590 --> 01:41:48,140
...but when l searched the place,
l saw nothing.
1170
01:41:49,010 --> 01:41:51,430
And then l found her.
1171
01:42:40,770 --> 01:42:42,650
Fred.
1172
01:42:43,530 --> 01:42:45,360
Barney.
1173
01:42:45,530 --> 01:42:48,240
Who's gonna bark for Daddy?
1174
01:42:53,700 --> 01:42:56,960
lt was dark when the murderer got back.
1175
01:42:58,710 --> 01:43:00,290
As dark as it gets.
1176
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:43,790
Oh, God.
Who's out there? Who is it?
1177
01:43:45,630 --> 01:43:46,760
Who is it?
1178
01:43:57,480 --> 01:44:00,900
What? What the fuck?
Who the fuck are you?
1179
01:44:01,060 --> 01:44:05,570
What the fuck do you want?
You killed my dogs, man!
1180
01:44:10,570 --> 01:44:15,120
You think l had something to do
with that girl? l found that.
1181
01:44:15,290 --> 01:44:17,750
What evidence have you got?
That's nothing.
1182
01:44:25,670 --> 01:44:28,460
Okay. l confess.
1183
01:44:29,670 --> 01:44:32,340
l kidnapped her. l killed her.
1184
01:44:33,140 --> 01:44:34,510
Arrest me.
1185
01:44:35,350 --> 01:44:37,060
What? Arrest me!
1186
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:40,640
l did it! l said l did it!
1187
01:44:40,810 --> 01:44:42,230
Christ.
1188
01:44:42,400 --> 01:44:46,690
Look, l've got a problem, man.
Fucking take me in. l need help.
1189
01:44:47,530 --> 01:44:54,240
No, don't. Don't do that.
Take me in. Don't! No!
1190
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:02,710
Men get arrested.
1191
01:45:04,130 --> 01:45:06,170
Dogs get put down.
1192
01:45:14,260 --> 01:45:16,430
Tremors of impact shook my arm.
1193
01:45:17,850 --> 01:45:20,180
Warm blood splashed my face.
1194
01:45:21,390 --> 01:45:25,520
Whatever was left of Walter Kovacs
died that night with that little girl.
1195
01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:28,730
From then on, there was only Rorschach.
1196
01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:33,070
See, doctor, God didn't kill that little girl.
1197
01:45:33,530 --> 01:45:37,700
Fate didn't butcher her
and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs.
1198
01:45:38,870 --> 01:45:42,290
lf God saw what any of us did that night,
he didn't seem to mind.
1199
01:45:44,210 --> 01:45:46,040
From then on, l knew:
1200
01:45:47,380 --> 01:45:49,710
God doesn't make the world this way.
1201
01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:53,220
We do.
1202
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:01,930
l can't help him.
1203
01:46:14,110 --> 01:46:15,950
Hey, Rorschach.
1204
01:46:16,950 --> 01:46:18,950
Hey, you're pretty famous, right?
1205
01:46:19,450 --> 01:46:21,580
Rorschach, l heard your mother
was a whore.
1206
01:46:21,750 --> 01:46:25,290
Hey, you know what?
l'm pretty famous too.
1207
01:46:25,460 --> 01:46:28,000
-Ain't that right? That's right.
- That's right.
1208
01:46:29,670 --> 01:46:32,920
Maybe l can give you an autograph.
What you say, big boy?
1209
01:46:48,100 --> 01:46:51,650
None of you seem to understand.
l'm not locked in here with you.
1210
01:46:51,820 --> 01:46:53,940
All right, that's it!
1211
01:46:54,780 --> 01:46:57,200
You're locked in here with me.
1212
01:48:15,940 --> 01:48:17,030
Laurie!
1213
01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:19,570
Shit.
1214
01:48:20,570 --> 01:48:22,450
Hold on.
-Fuck.
1215
01:48:25,740 --> 01:48:27,240
l got it, l got it, l got it.
1216
01:48:31,920 --> 01:48:35,290
l'm so sorry. l was snooping
and must have hit the wrong button.
1217
01:48:35,460 --> 01:48:36,920
-Are you hurt?
-No, no.
1218
01:48:37,090 --> 01:48:40,170
-Okay.
-l'm fine. l just feel so bad.
1219
01:48:40,340 --> 01:48:42,340
No, don't worry.
1220
01:48:42,510 --> 01:48:45,800
lt's happened before.
Comedian did it back in '77.
1221
01:48:46,930 --> 01:48:48,770
Archie survived that.
1222
01:48:49,180 --> 01:48:50,520
Archie?
1223
01:48:51,270 --> 01:48:54,730
Oh. Well, uh, short for Archimedes...
1224
01:48:54,900 --> 01:48:56,440
...Merlin's pet owl.
1225
01:48:57,530 --> 01:48:59,190
Stupid nickname.
1226
01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:02,990
How did you ever afford
all this stuff, anyway?
1227
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:08,700
Well, my dad was in corporate banking
and left me a lot of money when he died...
1228
01:49:09,450 --> 01:49:12,790
...which always surprised me.
l mean, he was....
1229
01:49:13,460 --> 01:49:16,090
l think he was disappointed
l went into crime fighting...
1230
01:49:16,250 --> 01:49:17,960
...instead of following him.
1231
01:49:18,710 --> 01:49:25,720
Guess l was just more interested in
birds and airplanes, mythology and....
1232
01:49:26,140 --> 01:49:30,140
Plus, there were enough other guys
doing this so that l didn't feel ridiculous.
1233
01:49:31,060 --> 01:49:32,310
Like Hollis.
1234
01:49:32,480 --> 01:49:33,980
Yeah.
1235
01:49:34,730 --> 01:49:37,480
Yeah, he was my hero.
1236
01:49:38,530 --> 01:49:41,940
Man, l remember the first time
that l met him...
1237
01:49:42,820 --> 01:49:45,740
... l just felt so connected, you know?
1238
01:49:45,910 --> 01:49:48,240
To something that mattered.
1239
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,750
Must be nice having a secret identity.
1240
01:49:54,420 --> 01:49:56,580
A secret place that nobody knows about.
1241
01:49:56,750 --> 01:50:01,760
You can just come down here and hang out
without anyone checking up on you.
1242
01:50:03,220 --> 01:50:05,550
Nobody watching you.
1243
01:50:08,890 --> 01:50:09,970
Wanna try those on?
1244
01:50:20,730 --> 01:50:22,400
There we go.
1245
01:50:25,570 --> 01:50:27,570
Wow, these rock.
1246
01:50:30,410 --> 01:50:32,700
They amplify the spectral range.
1247
01:50:32,870 --> 01:50:35,040
Thermal imaging.
1248
01:50:36,710 --> 01:50:38,710
They work even better in the dark.
1249
01:50:43,590 --> 01:50:45,380
You can see me, right?
1250
01:50:47,550 --> 01:50:50,220
l can see everything.
1251
01:50:52,930 --> 01:50:56,440
l remember, no matter how black it got...
1252
01:50:56,770 --> 01:51:00,900
...whenever l looked through those goggles,
everything was as clear as day.
1253
01:51:03,230 --> 01:51:05,570
This must be the way Jon sees the world.
1254
01:51:08,070 --> 01:51:10,910
We should probably head up.
Food's getting cold.
1255
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:13,240
Put those away when you're done.
1256
01:51:22,210 --> 01:51:24,550
Soviet ambassador
to the U.N. had no comment...
1257
01:51:24,710 --> 01:51:26,970
...when asked if Dr. Manhattan's
disappearance...
1258
01:51:27,130 --> 01:51:29,470
...has fueled Soviet aggression
in Afghanistan.
1259
01:51:29,640 --> 01:51:31,350
Dan.
1260
01:51:32,100 --> 01:51:33,810
Jon sees a lot of things...
1261
01:51:36,230 --> 01:51:38,520
...but he doesn't see me.
1262
01:51:45,650 --> 01:51:47,190
Well, uh....
1263
01:52:05,420 --> 01:52:06,960
Oh.
1264
01:52:40,830 --> 01:52:42,170
Sorry.
1265
01:52:44,170 --> 01:52:45,500
Come here.
1266
01:52:51,430 --> 01:52:52,680
What's the matter?
1267
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:55,300
-lf you could just move a little....
-Okay.
1268
01:52:55,470 --> 01:52:57,680
Yeah. There you go.
1269
01:53:04,190 --> 01:53:06,860
Dan, what's wrong?
1270
01:53:08,530 --> 01:53:09,650
Sorry, l....
1271
01:53:11,780 --> 01:53:14,030
Yeah, l just need a couple minutes.
1272
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:18,120
Oh, hell.
1273
01:53:19,870 --> 01:53:21,710
lt's okay.
1274
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:27,540
Maybe we were just moving too fast.
1275
01:53:31,130 --> 01:53:33,760
We've got all the time in the world.
1276
01:53:35,260 --> 01:53:37,260
We'll take it slow.
1277
01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:53,570
lt's been a long time, Rorschach.
1278
01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:55,740
Big Figure.
1279
01:53:56,070 --> 01:53:57,910
Small world.
1280
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:00,740
l like that.
1281
01:54:01,540 --> 01:54:03,910
But you know, it is a small world in here.
1282
01:54:04,370 --> 01:54:07,130
And l've been in it for,
how long now, Lloyd?
1283
01:54:07,290 --> 01:54:09,420
Almost 15 years, Mr. Figure.
1284
01:54:09,750 --> 01:54:11,090
That's right.
1285
01:54:12,090 --> 01:54:15,590
Fifteen years since you
and that Owl fella put me away.
1286
01:54:18,600 --> 01:54:19,760
So...
1287
01:54:20,260 --> 01:54:25,060
...Rorschach, that guy you burned is dying.
Could go any minute.
1288
01:54:25,230 --> 01:54:30,440
You know, by my count, there are more
than 50 people in here that you put away.
1289
01:54:30,610 --> 01:54:34,950
l been talking to every one of them
and they're all dying to get a piece of you.
1290
01:54:35,110 --> 01:54:38,410
This place is gonna explode!
1291
01:54:39,950 --> 01:54:42,620
Then, you die by inches.
1292
01:54:43,580 --> 01:54:45,250
Tall order.
1293
01:54:45,460 --> 01:54:47,960
l'm gonna tear this guy a new hole.
1294
01:54:48,630 --> 01:54:51,630
Relax, Lawrence. Soon.
1295
01:54:52,460 --> 01:54:53,800
Come on.
1296
01:56:22,350 --> 01:56:23,680
Dan?
1297
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:32,190
ls everything all right?
1298
01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:37,440
l'm tired of being afraid.
1299
01:56:38,530 --> 01:56:40,900
Afraid of war...
1300
01:56:41,700 --> 01:56:45,240
...afraid of the mask killer...
1301
01:56:46,870 --> 01:56:50,080
...and afraid of this goddamn suit...
1302
01:56:50,250 --> 01:56:52,210
...and how much l need it.
1303
01:56:53,040 --> 01:56:54,710
Me too.
1304
01:56:56,210 --> 01:56:57,500
So to hell with it.
1305
01:56:58,380 --> 01:56:59,710
Let's take Archie out.
1306
01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:06,760
You're serious.
1307
01:57:06,930 --> 01:57:09,470
l used to be a masked avenger too,
remember?
1308
01:57:09,640 --> 01:57:12,890
l'm used to going out at 3 in the morning
and doing something stupid.
1309
01:58:14,620 --> 01:58:16,710
Rapid burner. Be advised, all units.
1310
01:58:16,880 --> 01:58:19,460
Tenement fire at 5th and Grand.
Rapid burner.
1311
01:58:19,630 --> 01:58:20,960
Let's go.
1312
01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:28,090
l can see it.
All right, hold on.
1313
01:58:38,940 --> 01:58:40,360
Dan, there are kids in there.
1314
01:58:40,520 --> 01:58:42,690
Everyone, stay where you are
and remain calm.
1315
01:58:42,860 --> 01:58:45,070
We're gonna get you out of there.
1316
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:47,410
The roof's starting to cave.
Get me in there.
1317
01:58:47,570 --> 01:58:49,030
l'm gonna get you close.
1318
01:59:47,800 --> 01:59:49,180
Let's go.
1319
01:59:49,340 --> 01:59:50,510
Come on.
1320
01:59:50,680 --> 01:59:52,260
All right, let's move it, people.
1321
01:59:59,020 --> 02:00:03,820
Mom, is that guy in the space rocket...?
1322
02:00:04,280 --> 02:00:06,480
ls that Jesus?
1323
02:00:06,650 --> 02:00:08,490
No, baby.
1324
02:00:09,410 --> 02:00:11,530
Watch your step.
All right.
1325
02:00:13,870 --> 02:00:14,910
We're all set.
1326
02:00:15,950 --> 02:00:17,620
ls that everyone?
1327
02:00:41,650 --> 02:00:43,980
Bye.
Bye!
1328
02:00:47,570 --> 02:00:49,150
l can't believe we did that.
1329
02:00:51,110 --> 02:00:53,570
-They'll lock us up with Rorschach.
-Who cares?
1330
02:00:53,740 --> 02:00:55,700
World War l l l could start tomorrow.
1331
02:00:57,830 --> 02:00:59,160
Right?
1332
02:01:00,830 --> 02:01:02,170
Right.
1333
02:03:27,270 --> 02:03:29,150
Come back here!
1334
02:03:31,770 --> 02:03:33,480
He's dead, Rorschach.
1335
02:03:33,650 --> 02:03:37,820
While everyone's distracted, we thought
we'd bring you a housewarming gift.
1336
02:03:37,990 --> 02:03:40,160
Something from the machine shop.
1337
02:03:41,830 --> 02:03:43,450
Hey, boss, you notice?
1338
02:03:43,620 --> 02:03:46,660
None of that "small world,
tall order" crap.
1339
02:03:46,830 --> 02:03:50,040
He knows once we slice open his lock,
he's next on the block.
1340
02:03:50,500 --> 02:03:51,630
Fat chance.
1341
02:03:52,340 --> 02:03:53,460
You're dead, Rorschach!
1342
02:03:53,630 --> 02:03:57,300
We got a prison full of killers out here.
What do you got?
1343
02:04:00,220 --> 02:04:02,680
Your hands, my pleasure.
1344
02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:06,680
Can't reach the lock. Should l cut the bars?
1345
02:04:06,850 --> 02:04:10,140
This riot won't last.
l been waiting 15 years for this.
1346
02:04:11,270 --> 02:04:14,650
l'm sorry, Lawrence, but you're in the way
of my revenge.
1347
02:04:18,360 --> 02:04:20,070
Nothing personal, big guy.
1348
02:04:21,530 --> 02:04:23,530
Boss! Wait!
1349
02:04:37,670 --> 02:04:39,470
Now you find out what the score is.
1350
02:04:39,880 --> 02:04:43,050
One-nothing. Come and get me.
1351
02:04:49,060 --> 02:04:50,730
Come on.
1352
02:04:50,890 --> 02:04:52,560
So I've been thinking.
1353
02:04:53,480 --> 02:04:57,650
l feel that we have an obligation
to our fraternity.
1354
02:04:58,490 --> 02:05:01,570
-l think we ought to spring Rorschach.
What?
1355
02:05:01,740 --> 02:05:03,490
Someone set him up.
1356
02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:07,910
And this whole cancer thing with Jon,
it just doesn't make sense.
1357
02:05:08,080 --> 02:05:10,040
You didn't get it.
1358
02:05:10,330 --> 02:05:12,750
Yeah, but breaking
into a maximum-security prison...
1359
02:05:12,920 --> 02:05:16,590
-...is a little different than putting out a fire.
-Yeah, you're right.
1360
02:05:17,500 --> 02:05:19,340
lt'll be more fun.
1361
02:05:23,510 --> 02:05:26,510
Hurry, Lloyd. l wanna
smell this son of a bitch cooking.
1362
02:05:31,770 --> 02:05:33,520
Yes.
1363
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:39,280
No.
1364
02:05:53,210 --> 02:05:58,040
Never disposed of sewage
with a toilet before. Obvious, really.
1365
02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:02,170
Two-nothing. Your move.
1366
02:06:05,510 --> 02:06:07,140
Get out of the way!
1367
02:06:34,160 --> 02:06:35,960
How do we know he's still alive?
1368
02:06:38,210 --> 02:06:39,460
He's alive.
1369
02:06:51,180 --> 02:06:52,720
No. No.
1370
02:06:53,350 --> 02:06:54,770
Where's my face?
1371
02:06:57,310 --> 02:06:59,020
Don't kill me.
1372
02:07:02,690 --> 02:07:04,110
Your turn, doctor.
1373
02:07:04,280 --> 02:07:07,490
Tell me, what do you see?
1374
02:08:33,620 --> 02:08:35,370
Don't move!
1375
02:08:43,630 --> 02:08:45,420
Rorschach.
1376
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:48,710
Daniel. Miss Jupiter.
1377
02:08:48,880 --> 02:08:52,300
Excuse me. Have to visit men's room.
1378
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:54,800
Oh, for chrissake.
1379
02:09:32,010 --> 02:09:34,140
Good to see you in uniform, Daniel.
1380
02:09:34,300 --> 02:09:37,720
Should've known all you needed
was nice pair of legs to motivate you.
1381
02:09:37,890 --> 02:09:42,140
You're such an asshole, Rorschach.
-Spare me indignation.
1382
02:09:43,350 --> 02:09:46,400
Picked hell of a time
to be unfaithful to Jon.
1383
02:09:46,570 --> 02:09:49,360
Get tired of being patriotic,
or someone put you up to it?
1384
02:09:49,530 --> 02:09:52,190
You don't know what the fuck
you're talking about!
1385
02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:56,240
Hey! Would you two stop?
You can argue later.
1386
02:09:56,410 --> 02:10:00,160
l had to turn the screechers off,
so we'll be drawing fire soon.
1387
02:10:04,170 --> 02:10:06,540
Stop! Stop or we will shoot!
1388
02:10:45,420 --> 02:10:47,540
Are you all right?
1389
02:10:48,960 --> 02:10:51,170
Yeah. Just...
1390
02:10:51,590 --> 02:10:52,880
...heavy, you know?
1391
02:10:53,670 --> 02:10:55,760
War, jailbreak.
1392
02:10:56,300 --> 02:11:01,180
Don't worry about it. Okay?
Everything's gonna be fine.
1393
02:11:06,190 --> 02:11:09,230
-Hello, Laurie.
-Jon.
1394
02:11:09,400 --> 02:11:13,030
-TV said you were on Mars.
-l am on Mars.
1395
02:11:13,610 --> 02:11:15,990
You and l are about
to have a conversation there.
1396
02:11:16,150 --> 02:11:17,610
What are you talking about?
1397
02:11:17,780 --> 02:11:20,450
You're going to try to convince me
to save the world.
1398
02:11:26,370 --> 02:11:29,380
-Laurie, don't.
-Dan, trust me.
1399
02:11:29,540 --> 02:11:31,210
l have to go.
1400
02:11:36,880 --> 02:11:38,880
Beautiful, isn't it?
1401
02:11:43,720 --> 02:11:46,640
Forgive me. These things sometimes
slip my mind.
1402
02:11:48,060 --> 02:11:49,900
lt won't happen again.
1403
02:11:51,570 --> 02:11:53,570
That's comforting.
1404
02:11:55,900 --> 02:11:57,570
Oh, my God.
1405
02:11:58,240 --> 02:12:00,070
l'm on Mars.
1406
02:12:04,080 --> 02:12:07,960
Hey. Nice ass.
WOHey, asshole.
1407
02:12:08,120 --> 02:12:10,710
Hey, let's see if that comic-book
retard's up here.
1408
02:12:11,500 --> 02:12:13,460
Hey, hey, hey. Yo.
1409
02:12:13,630 --> 02:12:18,340
You all hear? Some super-owl dude
just busted Rorschach out of prison.
1410
02:12:18,510 --> 02:12:20,220
-Rorschach?
-Yeah.
1411
02:12:20,390 --> 02:12:22,260
That fool put my cousin in a wheelchair.
1412
02:12:22,430 --> 02:12:25,310
You mean Nite Owl.
Him and Rorschach used to be partners.
1413
02:12:25,470 --> 02:12:28,140
-Yeah.
-Maybe he messed your cousin up too.
1414
02:12:28,310 --> 02:12:30,520
-Didn't he write a book or something?
-Yeah.
1415
02:12:30,690 --> 02:12:34,570
You know, he lives over a garage
right near here.
1416
02:12:34,730 --> 02:12:37,400
-Yeah?
-Does he, now?
1417
02:12:40,160 --> 02:12:41,320
Hello?
1418
02:12:42,320 --> 02:12:44,330
Sally?
1419
02:12:44,490 --> 02:12:47,370
-Hollis?
-Yeah.
1420
02:12:47,660 --> 02:12:51,540
Yes, Hollis Mason. Jesus.
1421
02:12:52,380 --> 02:12:57,000
All this time you've had my number and
you wait until our sunset years to use it?
1422
02:12:57,170 --> 02:12:59,970
Well, it seemed like
a special occasion, Sal.
1423
02:13:00,130 --> 02:13:01,260
What?
1424
02:13:01,430 --> 02:13:05,680
The TV is reporting there was
a tenement fire last night.
1425
02:13:06,560 --> 02:13:09,350
There were trapped people
rescued by airship...
1426
02:13:09,520 --> 02:13:15,060
...and they say the pilot
was dressed like an owl.
1427
02:13:15,230 --> 02:13:17,440
And it seems he had
a sexy woman with him.
1428
02:13:17,610 --> 02:13:20,240
Laurie? My daughter, Laurie?
1429
02:13:21,820 --> 02:13:24,950
l can't get over Laurie back in costume.
1430
02:13:25,120 --> 02:13:28,580
Maybe she'll finally thank me
for getting her started in the first place.
1431
02:13:28,750 --> 02:13:32,370
You know, Sal,
by the sound of your voice...
1432
02:13:32,540 --> 02:13:34,250
...you're sounding younger than ever.
1433
02:13:34,420 --> 02:13:36,750
Oh. Why, bless you, Hollis.
1434
02:13:37,420 --> 02:13:39,420
But that's probably just senility.
1435
02:13:42,220 --> 02:13:45,140
Well, it's been great talking to you, Sal...
1436
02:13:45,300 --> 02:13:47,680
...but someone's knocking.
1437
02:13:48,220 --> 02:13:53,230
Well, don't get too misty-eyed
thinking about old times.
1438
02:13:54,100 --> 02:13:55,940
You take care now, Hollis.
1439
02:13:56,110 --> 02:13:57,400
Ah, you too.
1440
02:13:57,570 --> 02:13:58,770
Bye.
1441
02:13:59,360 --> 02:14:00,860
Bye.
1442
02:14:04,280 --> 02:14:06,620
We're looking for Mr. Owl.
1443
02:14:07,450 --> 02:14:09,660
Yeah. Hold your horses.
1444
02:14:09,830 --> 02:14:11,410
Mr. Owl, you there?
1445
02:14:11,960 --> 02:14:13,370
Trick or treat.
1446
02:14:14,960 --> 02:14:16,580
You should've stayed retired, Owl.
1447
02:15:21,820 --> 02:15:23,360
l hate this.
1448
02:15:23,530 --> 02:15:27,780
Cowering in cave,
hiding from authorities.
1449
02:15:28,030 --> 02:15:31,200
Cops are out there hunting us.
Unless you wanna go back to prison...
1450
02:15:31,370 --> 02:15:33,870
...we'd be stupid to expose ourselves
without a plan.
1451
02:15:34,040 --> 02:15:36,290
And what would that be?
1452
02:15:36,620 --> 02:15:40,330
Once we've established a pattern...
1453
02:15:40,710 --> 02:15:42,880
...we can break into Pyramid,
see what we find.
1454
02:15:43,050 --> 02:15:45,460
Did that. Dead end.
1455
02:15:45,630 --> 02:15:50,220
l think it's a front company for whoever's
really behind it, but can't prove it.
1456
02:15:53,180 --> 02:15:57,520
We need to hit up underworld contacts,
squeeze people.
1457
02:15:57,690 --> 02:16:00,400
Sure, why don't we just pick names
out of a phone book?
1458
02:16:00,560 --> 02:16:02,730
You forgot how we do things, Daniel.
1459
02:16:02,900 --> 02:16:07,360
You've gone too soft. Too trusting.
Especially with women.
1460
02:16:07,530 --> 02:16:09,610
Okay, no. Listen, l've had it with that.
1461
02:16:09,780 --> 02:16:11,820
God, who do you
think you are, Rorschach?
1462
02:16:11,990 --> 02:16:14,080
You live off people
while insulting them...
1463
02:16:14,240 --> 02:16:18,080
...and no one complains because they think
you're a goddamn lunatic.
1464
02:16:30,050 --> 02:16:31,890
l'm sorry.
1465
02:16:34,560 --> 02:16:36,720
l shouldn't have said that, man.
1466
02:16:38,730 --> 02:16:40,060
Daniel...
1467
02:16:41,560 --> 02:16:44,020
...you are a good friend.
1468
02:16:46,900 --> 02:16:50,070
l know it can be difficult
with me sometimes.
1469
02:16:56,580 --> 02:16:58,080
Forget it.
1470
02:16:59,250 --> 02:17:00,910
lt's okay, man.
1471
02:17:02,170 --> 02:17:03,790
Let's do it your way.
1472
02:17:22,810 --> 02:17:24,150
Oh, God.
1473
02:17:24,310 --> 02:17:28,650
Pyramid Transnational.
Anyone heard of it?
1474
02:17:36,160 --> 02:17:37,660
Oh, you bastards.
1475
02:17:37,830 --> 02:17:40,910
l buy everyone a round
and you sell me out like this?
1476
02:17:42,120 --> 02:17:45,420
Back off, or l'll stick this glass
in your squidgy face.
1477
02:17:47,130 --> 02:17:50,050
Everybody stay calm.
We'll try to keep this brief.
1478
02:17:52,180 --> 02:17:54,340
Roy Chess. On Pyramid payroll.
1479
02:17:54,510 --> 02:17:59,010
Tried to kill Adrian Veidt. Dead now.
Did you know him?
1480
02:17:59,180 --> 02:18:00,850
No.
1481
02:18:02,190 --> 02:18:03,480
Yeah, yeah!
1482
02:18:03,650 --> 02:18:06,560
-l hired him. l knew him from the inside.
-You're a felon.
1483
02:18:06,730 --> 02:18:09,690
l was. l've been straight
ever since l got out, l swear.
1484
02:18:09,860 --> 02:18:13,610
l barely knew Chess that well,
but l was told to hire from the old life.
1485
02:18:13,780 --> 02:18:17,370
-Told by whom?
-My contact, Miss Slater.
1486
02:18:17,530 --> 02:18:20,160
Janey Slater works for Pyramid too?
1487
02:18:20,330 --> 02:18:24,290
Yeah, she was real nice. She said hiring
ex-cons was part of the company program.
1488
02:18:24,460 --> 02:18:28,170
Give people a second chance.
God, please let go! l'm telling the truth!
1489
02:18:32,300 --> 02:18:35,550
Janey Slater, Manhattan's old girlfriend.
1490
02:18:35,720 --> 02:18:38,390
Adrian might help us
find out who's underwriting Pyramid.
1491
02:18:38,560 --> 02:18:39,640
Follow the money.
1492
02:18:39,810 --> 02:18:43,060
--former member of the
Minutemen Hollis Mason found murdered...
1493
02:18:43,230 --> 02:18:45,560
...in his apartment less than
an hour ago.
1494
02:18:45,730 --> 02:18:49,860
Witnesses reported seeing members
of a local gang known as the Knot-Tops...
1495
02:18:50,020 --> 02:18:53,280
...leaving the area right around
the estimated time of death.
1496
02:18:53,440 --> 02:18:56,410
Reporting live, Tiffany Burns....
1497
02:18:58,740 --> 02:19:01,740
-Who did it?
-l knew you were gonna victimize me, man.
1498
02:19:01,910 --> 02:19:04,040
What about my civil rights?
Just because l'm wearing--
1499
02:19:04,210 --> 02:19:07,250
-Tell me who did it!
-A lot of people dress like this.
1500
02:19:08,590 --> 02:19:10,500
Who murdered Hollis Mason?
1501
02:19:16,180 --> 02:19:18,430
You tell your friends they're dead.
1502
02:19:18,600 --> 02:19:22,180
l'm gonna take out this entire
rathole neighborhood.
1503
02:19:22,350 --> 02:19:24,850
l'll break your neck!
1504
02:19:25,440 --> 02:19:28,400
Daniel, not in front of the civilians.
1505
02:19:29,020 --> 02:19:31,860
Oh, goddamn. Goddamn, Hollis.
1506
02:19:41,870 --> 02:19:45,040
This is where we hold our conversation.
1507
02:19:45,620 --> 02:19:49,540
ln it, you reveal to me that you and
Dreiberg have been sleeping together.
1508
02:19:50,710 --> 02:19:54,090
-You know about me and Dan?
-Not yet.
1509
02:19:54,380 --> 02:19:57,220
But in a few moments
you're going to tell me.
1510
02:19:59,550 --> 02:20:04,600
lf you already know the future, then why
were you surprised when l left you?
1511
02:20:04,770 --> 02:20:06,980
Or when that reporter ambushed you?
1512
02:20:07,140 --> 02:20:10,770
Why even argue about it
if you already know how this is gonna end?
1513
02:20:11,940 --> 02:20:14,190
l have no choice.
1514
02:20:15,490 --> 02:20:18,450
Everything is preordained.
1515
02:20:18,610 --> 02:20:20,950
Even my responses.
1516
02:20:21,910 --> 02:20:25,490
And you're just going through
the motions.
1517
02:20:25,660 --> 02:20:29,080
The most powerful thing in the universe
is still just a puppet.
1518
02:20:32,210 --> 02:20:34,880
We are all puppets, Laurie.
1519
02:20:35,840 --> 02:20:38,340
l'm just a puppet
who can see the strings.
1520
02:20:38,510 --> 02:20:40,180
And what if you're wrong?
1521
02:20:40,340 --> 02:20:44,850
Why does my perception of time
distress you so?
1522
02:20:45,010 --> 02:20:46,930
Because it's inhuman.
1523
02:20:47,100 --> 02:20:49,520
Because it makes me insane.
1524
02:20:49,690 --> 02:20:53,560
You always say you wanna comfort me.
Well, it isn't working.
1525
02:21:00,990 --> 02:21:03,490
Look, l don't wanna fight.
1526
02:21:04,990 --> 02:21:07,700
l'm sorry l slept with Dan.
1527
02:21:08,290 --> 02:21:10,330
You slept with Dan?
1528
02:21:12,040 --> 02:21:15,040
You just said that you already
knew about that.
1529
02:21:15,710 --> 02:21:19,720
l said often...
1530
02:21:20,380 --> 02:21:24,720
...that you were my only
remaining link to humanity.
1531
02:21:27,180 --> 02:21:28,680
Why would l save a world...
1532
02:21:28,850 --> 02:21:30,980
... l no longer have any stake in?
1533
02:21:33,060 --> 02:21:35,150
Then do it for me.
1534
02:21:36,020 --> 02:21:37,400
lf you really care.
1535
02:21:37,570 --> 02:21:41,030
When you left me, l left Earth.
1536
02:21:41,200 --> 02:21:44,070
Does that not show you that l care?
1537
02:21:47,290 --> 02:21:50,250
My red world here, now...
1538
02:21:51,250 --> 02:21:54,120
...means more to me than your blue one.
1539
02:21:54,920 --> 02:21:56,630
Let me show you.
1540
02:22:14,770 --> 02:22:17,610
Bombers are fueled and ready, sir.
1541
02:22:27,030 --> 02:22:29,280
lt's time, gentlemen.
1542
02:22:31,370 --> 02:22:33,790
Take us to DEFCON one.
1543
02:22:41,050 --> 02:22:44,130
Not in penthouse. Not in office.
1544
02:22:44,300 --> 02:22:47,220
What nocturnal proclivities
entice a man with everything...
1545
02:22:47,390 --> 02:22:49,140
...out into the night at this hour?
1546
02:22:51,220 --> 02:22:53,100
Daniel?
1547
02:22:54,310 --> 02:22:56,100
You with me?
1548
02:22:56,900 --> 02:23:00,020
-Yeah.
-Then what are you doing?
1549
02:23:02,150 --> 02:23:03,900
l'm gonna look for Adrian's itinerary.
1550
02:23:04,070 --> 02:23:06,820
Maybe he keeps on file.
1551
02:23:11,330 --> 02:23:13,830
-Something's not right.
-Agreed.
1552
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:18,750
Janey Slater, Moloch, Roy Chess
all work for Pyramid.
1553
02:23:18,920 --> 02:23:23,550
Moloch said the Comedian mentioned list
with his and Slater's name on it.
1554
02:23:23,710 --> 02:23:27,010
Whoever owns Pyramid
could be giving these people cancer.
1555
02:23:27,180 --> 02:23:29,680
Setting Manhattan up.
1556
02:23:43,820 --> 02:23:44,990
Funny.
1557
02:23:45,150 --> 02:23:48,660
Ancient pharaohs looked forward
to the end of the world.
1558
02:23:48,820 --> 02:23:53,870
Believed cadavers would rise,
reclaim hearts from golden jars.
1559
02:23:54,500 --> 02:23:57,120
Must currently be holding breath
in anticipation.
1560
02:23:57,290 --> 02:23:58,540
Pharaohs?
1561
02:24:05,380 --> 02:24:07,420
Got a psych profile on Manhattan.
1562
02:24:08,050 --> 02:24:10,550
See what the corporate head-peepers say.
1563
02:24:12,560 --> 02:24:15,100
"Subject continues
to retreat emotionally.
1564
02:24:17,390 --> 02:24:20,480
lf the only remaining ties
were to be severed...
1565
02:24:21,060 --> 02:24:25,070
...we predict total detachment
from the human condition."
1566
02:24:29,160 --> 02:24:30,910
l'm in.
1567
02:24:59,770 --> 02:25:01,100
No.
1568
02:25:03,270 --> 02:25:09,070
Congratulations, Mr. Veidt.
Dr. Manhattan's energy reactor is online.
1569
02:25:09,240 --> 02:25:13,110
Your support and your enthusiasm...
1570
02:25:13,280 --> 02:25:15,580
...is what has led to this triumph.
1571
02:25:15,740 --> 02:25:19,790
On behalf of the research team,
we salute you.
1572
02:25:19,960 --> 02:25:22,370
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
1573
02:25:23,130 --> 02:25:27,300
What in life
does not deserve celebrating?
1574
02:25:28,210 --> 02:25:32,300
This is the new Karnak.
1575
02:25:32,470 --> 02:25:36,100
This represents the culmination of a dream
more than 2000 years old...
1576
02:25:36,260 --> 02:25:42,520
...a dream now assured
because of your unquestioning assistance.
1577
02:25:44,650 --> 02:25:46,310
And for this...
1578
02:25:47,150 --> 02:25:49,480
... l am ashamed...
1579
02:25:50,650 --> 02:25:54,990
...ashamed that you must now share
such inadequate a reward.
1580
02:25:56,660 --> 02:25:58,660
To the pharaohs...
1581
02:25:59,620 --> 02:26:02,620
...their greatest secrets
entrusted to their servants...
1582
02:26:03,250 --> 02:26:07,590
...buried alive with them
in sand-floored chambers.
1583
02:26:08,460 --> 02:26:10,840
Sleep well, gentlemen.
1584
02:26:11,510 --> 02:26:14,840
Our new, peaceful world
will be indebted...
1585
02:26:15,180 --> 02:26:17,760
...to your great sacrifice.
1586
02:26:18,680 --> 02:26:20,890
Bubastis.
1587
02:26:25,060 --> 02:26:28,060
Rorschach's journal. Final entry.
1588
02:26:28,400 --> 02:26:30,900
Veidt's behind everything.
1589
02:26:31,070 --> 02:26:32,690
Why?
1590
02:26:32,860 --> 02:26:34,900
What's his endgame?
1591
02:26:35,070 --> 02:26:38,740
l cannot imagine
a more dangerous opponent.
1592
02:26:38,950 --> 02:26:42,370
Used to joke he was fast enough
to catch a bullet.
1593
02:26:42,540 --> 02:26:45,460
He could kill us both alone in the snow.
1594
02:26:45,620 --> 02:26:49,340
That's where we're going now:
Antarctica.
1595
02:26:49,500 --> 02:26:52,260
Whether l'm alive or dead
upon this reading...
1596
02:26:52,420 --> 02:26:56,720
...I hope the world survives long enough
for this journal to reach you.
1597
02:26:56,890 --> 02:26:59,430
l live my life free of compromise...
1598
02:26:59,600 --> 02:27:03,560
...and step into the shadow
without complaint or regret.
1599
02:27:04,190 --> 02:27:07,190
Rorschach, November 1st.
1600
02:27:07,350 --> 02:27:10,900
Can't you just tell me how
this ends and save us the trouble?
1601
02:27:11,860 --> 02:27:13,740
lt ends with you in tears.
1602
02:27:13,900 --> 02:27:17,530
Tears? So you don't come back to Earth.
1603
02:27:17,700 --> 02:27:21,120
At some point, yes.
1604
02:27:22,200 --> 02:27:25,120
The streets are filled with death.
1605
02:27:25,290 --> 02:27:27,370
Jon, please.
1606
02:27:27,540 --> 02:27:32,090
You have to stop this. Everyone will die.
1607
02:27:32,250 --> 02:27:36,590
And the universe will not even notice.
1608
02:27:39,050 --> 02:27:43,260
ln my opinion, the existence of life...
1609
02:27:44,140 --> 02:27:47,140
...is a highly overrated phenomenon.
1610
02:27:49,060 --> 02:27:51,360
Just look around you.
1611
02:27:54,110 --> 02:27:58,450
Mars gets along perfectly well
without so much as a microorganism.
1612
02:27:59,070 --> 02:28:03,620
Here, it's a constantly changing
topographical map...
1613
02:28:03,790 --> 02:28:09,750
...flowing and shifting around the pole
in ripples 10,000 years wide.
1614
02:28:10,580 --> 02:28:12,090
So tell me...
1615
02:28:12,250 --> 02:28:16,630
...how would all of this be greatly improved
by an oil pipeline?
1616
02:28:17,090 --> 02:28:19,090
By a shopping mall?
1617
02:28:23,430 --> 02:28:27,730
So it's too much to ask for a miracle?
1618
02:28:27,890 --> 02:28:30,020
Miracles, by their definition,
are meaningless.
1619
02:28:30,190 --> 02:28:31,690
Oh, God, Jon!
1620
02:28:31,860 --> 02:28:36,940
-Only what can happen does happen.
-Just stop your bullshit.
1621
02:28:37,990 --> 02:28:40,530
Land this thing. Now.
1622
02:28:40,700 --> 02:28:43,280
As you wish.
1623
02:28:48,870 --> 02:28:49,960
You know what?
1624
02:28:50,120 --> 02:28:52,830
You can send me back to Earth
to fry with Dan and my mom...
1625
02:28:53,000 --> 02:28:55,340
...and all the other worthless humans.
1626
02:28:55,500 --> 02:28:58,970
But know that you were wrong.
You said this ended with me in tears...
1627
02:28:59,130 --> 02:29:03,300
...and look: nothing.
Maybe you were wrong about everything.
1628
02:29:03,470 --> 02:29:08,730
You complain that l refuse to see life
on life's terms...
1629
02:29:09,480 --> 02:29:13,230
...yet you continuously refuse
to see things from my perspective.
1630
02:29:13,400 --> 02:29:17,820
-You shut out what you're afraid of.
-l'm not afraid.
1631
02:29:17,990 --> 02:29:23,030
You want me to see things your way?
Go ahead, show me. Do that thing you do.
1632
02:29:30,160 --> 02:29:35,250
Magic. Dreams. That is what l had before.
l was a hero, goddamn it!
1633
02:29:35,420 --> 02:29:38,500
lt's not my fault you got old.
What do you have to complain about?
1634
02:29:38,670 --> 02:29:40,800
l put food on the table
for you and your child.
1635
02:29:40,970 --> 02:29:43,760
Call your friend Eddie.
Maybe he can give you a better life.
1636
02:29:44,510 --> 02:29:47,220
Even the grimy parts of it...
1637
02:29:47,560 --> 02:29:49,810
...keep on getting brighter.
1638
02:29:50,140 --> 02:29:53,730
You know, your mom, she was one
of the all-time champion beauties.
1639
02:29:53,900 --> 02:29:58,360
-You got her eyes, you know. You got--
-Take your hands off her.
1640
02:29:58,530 --> 02:30:00,650
Hey, doll. Long time no see.
1641
02:30:00,820 --> 02:30:03,570
Not long enough in my book, Eddie.
Get in the car.
1642
02:30:04,070 --> 02:30:05,950
Now.
1643
02:30:06,910 --> 02:30:08,910
Are there no depths you won't sink to?
1644
02:30:09,080 --> 02:30:12,910
Jesus Christ, Sally.
Can't a guy talk to his...
1645
02:30:13,620 --> 02:30:15,330
...you know, old friend's daughter?
1646
02:30:17,630 --> 02:30:18,960
Drive.
1647
02:30:24,970 --> 02:30:27,760
lt was a mistake. One time.
1648
02:30:28,100 --> 02:30:31,270
Guy tries to rape you, and years later,
you let him finish the job?
1649
02:30:31,480 --> 02:30:34,190
What? Were you drunk or just lonely?
1650
02:30:34,350 --> 02:30:37,270
Am l ever gonna live this down?
1651
02:30:40,650 --> 02:30:41,780
Laurie.
1652
02:30:46,660 --> 02:30:47,990
No.
1653
02:30:49,990 --> 02:30:52,500
No, not him.
1654
02:30:52,660 --> 02:30:54,790
The Comedian...
1655
02:30:55,170 --> 02:30:57,290
...was your father.
1656
02:30:58,750 --> 02:31:00,460
No.
1657
02:31:03,760 --> 02:31:09,470
No! No! No!
1658
02:31:42,050 --> 02:31:44,050
My life is just...
1659
02:31:44,720 --> 02:31:46,840
...one big joke.
1660
02:31:47,010 --> 02:31:49,590
l don't think your life is a joke.
1661
02:31:51,220 --> 02:31:53,220
Yeah, well...
1662
02:31:55,060 --> 02:31:59,230
... l'm sorry if l don't
trust your sense of humor.
1663
02:32:07,400 --> 02:32:09,070
Will you smile...
1664
02:32:10,740 --> 02:32:13,200
...if l admit l was wrong?
1665
02:32:16,080 --> 02:32:18,080
About what?
1666
02:32:20,080 --> 02:32:21,580
Miracles.
1667
02:32:23,250 --> 02:32:26,420
Events with astronomical odds
of occurring...
1668
02:32:27,260 --> 02:32:29,760
...like oxygen turning into gold.
1669
02:32:29,930 --> 02:32:34,760
l've longed to witness such an event,
and yet l neglect...
1670
02:32:35,430 --> 02:32:37,810
...that in human coupling...
1671
02:32:38,600 --> 02:32:42,480
...millions upon millions of cells
compete to create life...
1672
02:32:42,940 --> 02:32:45,730
...for generation after generation...
1673
02:32:46,610 --> 02:32:49,700
...until finally, your mother...
1674
02:32:50,070 --> 02:32:51,240
...loves a man...
1675
02:32:51,910 --> 02:32:55,490
...Edward Blake, the Comedian,
a man she has every reason to hate...
1676
02:32:55,660 --> 02:32:59,660
...and out of that contradiction,
against unfathomable odds...
1677
02:33:00,330 --> 02:33:02,250
...it's you--
1678
02:33:03,960 --> 02:33:05,290
Only...
1679
02:33:05,960 --> 02:33:07,460
...you.
1680
02:33:08,300 --> 02:33:09,590
--that emerged.
1681
02:33:10,130 --> 02:33:14,640
To distill so specific a form...
1682
02:33:14,810 --> 02:33:17,100
...from all that chaos...
1683
02:33:18,980 --> 02:33:21,940
...is like turning air into gold.
1684
02:33:26,320 --> 02:33:28,320
A miracle.
1685
02:33:31,820 --> 02:33:33,320
And so...
1686
02:33:33,820 --> 02:33:35,660
... l was wrong.
1687
02:33:37,660 --> 02:33:41,500
Now dry your eyes, and let's go home.
1688
02:34:09,030 --> 02:34:13,070
We got a bearing on that artificial structure.
Heat signature's off the charts.
1689
02:34:14,030 --> 02:34:17,160
-Veidt.
-l don't like the way Archie's kicking.
1690
02:34:25,540 --> 02:34:28,380
-The engines.
-They're icing up. Hold onto something.
1691
02:34:29,170 --> 02:34:31,170
Daniel, you're coming in too low.
1692
02:34:34,050 --> 02:34:37,220
Don't wish to interfere,
but perhaps should pull up sharply--
1693
02:34:37,390 --> 02:34:41,350
l know! l'm trying.
l'm trying to pull him up, goddamn it!
1694
02:35:08,590 --> 02:35:12,210
l'm gonna redirect the heat from
the flamethrower to speed up deicing...
1695
02:35:12,380 --> 02:35:15,260
...but it's gonna take a while
and we don't have time to wait.
1696
02:35:16,760 --> 02:35:18,220
You need something warmer.
1697
02:35:18,760 --> 02:35:20,930
Fine like this.
1698
02:35:50,420 --> 02:35:52,300
What is it, girl?
1699
02:35:54,590 --> 02:35:56,300
Mm.
1700
02:36:21,910 --> 02:36:24,160
Adrian's a pacifist.
1701
02:36:24,370 --> 02:36:29,000
He's a vegetarian, for chrissakes.
He's never killed anyone in his life.
1702
02:36:29,170 --> 02:36:30,580
Hitler was vegetarian.
1703
02:36:30,750 --> 02:36:35,300
You're squeamish, leave him to me.
We won't get second chance.
1704
02:37:46,540 --> 02:37:47,830
Gentlemen.
1705
02:37:48,370 --> 02:37:52,290
-Welcome.
-Adrian, we know everything.
1706
02:37:52,460 --> 02:37:54,210
Then what's there to discuss, Dan?
1707
02:37:54,380 --> 02:37:57,380
Plenty. You killed Comedian.
1708
02:37:57,550 --> 02:37:59,090
May he rest in peace.
1709
02:37:59,590 --> 02:38:02,220
Blake figured it out first.
1710
02:38:02,380 --> 02:38:06,430
Nixon had him keeping tabs on us,
making sure we weren't rocking the boat.
1711
02:38:07,390 --> 02:38:09,640
Blake found out what I was doing
here in Karnak...
1712
02:38:09,810 --> 02:38:13,890
...and by the time he visited poor Moloch,
he was cracking badly.
1713
02:38:14,060 --> 02:38:17,310
Even l couldn't predict he'd be the one
to have a change of heart.
1714
02:38:18,070 --> 02:38:19,570
So...
1715
02:38:20,610 --> 02:38:22,570
... l had to kill him.
1716
02:38:23,110 --> 02:38:26,910
Then l neutralized Jon. No easy task.
1717
02:38:27,080 --> 02:38:29,540
l put roughly $2 billion
into tachyon research...
1718
02:38:29,700 --> 02:38:31,750
...to block Jon's vision of the future.
1719
02:38:31,910 --> 02:38:34,170
You used his psych profile
to manipulate him.
1720
02:38:34,670 --> 02:38:36,130
Got him to leave the planet.
1721
02:38:36,290 --> 02:38:39,710
l've known Jon long enough
to see he isn't devoid of emotion.
1722
02:38:39,880 --> 02:38:43,760
His subtle facial twitches wouldn't be
noticed by the layman, but to me...
1723
02:38:43,930 --> 02:38:45,760
...he might as well have been sobbing.
1724
02:38:46,140 --> 02:38:49,260
All l needed to do was tug on the thread.
1725
02:38:49,430 --> 02:38:51,350
The sudden flood of emotion Jon felt...
1726
02:38:51,520 --> 02:38:55,100
...when he came to believe
he'd given cancer to the people he loved...
1727
02:38:55,270 --> 02:38:57,440
...was all the excuse he needed
to leave Earth.
1728
02:38:57,610 --> 02:39:01,440
Your bullshit assassin.
You paid him to throw us off.
1729
02:39:01,610 --> 02:39:06,280
Mr. Chess gave his life
in the service of a higher cause, Dan.
1730
02:39:08,410 --> 02:39:11,490
I put a cyanide capsule in his mouth...
1731
02:39:11,660 --> 02:39:14,290
...leaving only one loose end:
1732
02:39:14,870 --> 02:39:18,290
You, and your mask-killer theory...
1733
02:39:18,460 --> 02:39:21,630
...one you followed
with the tenacity of a true sociopath.
1734
02:39:21,800 --> 02:39:23,460
l tipped off the police.
1735
02:39:23,630 --> 02:39:26,050
Once you were in prison,
l was able to move forward.
1736
02:39:26,220 --> 02:39:28,840
Sorry to disappoint you.
1737
02:39:42,030 --> 02:39:44,490
We were supposed to make the world
a better place.
1738
02:39:44,650 --> 02:39:46,400
Dan, that's exactly what l am doing.
1739
02:39:46,570 --> 02:39:47,910
Nuclear war?
1740
02:39:48,070 --> 02:39:50,240
Human extinction?
1741
02:39:59,880 --> 02:40:04,800
Of course, my moral safeguards
gave me pause at the necessary sacrifice.
1742
02:40:04,970 --> 02:40:07,930
A few key regions around the globe--
1743
02:40:08,090 --> 02:40:13,560
New York, Los Angeles, Moscow,
Hong Kong.
1744
02:40:13,720 --> 02:40:15,390
--disintegrated in an instant.
1745
02:40:16,140 --> 02:40:19,480
Fifteen million people killed...
1746
02:40:19,650 --> 02:40:21,690
...by Dr. Manhattan himself.
1747
02:40:22,900 --> 02:40:25,690
The world's punishment
for flirting with World War l ll.
1748
02:40:25,860 --> 02:40:27,030
Jon wouldn't do that.
1749
02:40:27,570 --> 02:40:30,280
A fact no one outside this room
ever has to know.
1750
02:40:30,910 --> 02:40:34,700
The energy breakthrough l was working on
just came to fruition.
1751
02:40:35,330 --> 02:40:39,330
All these years, Jon was helping me
replicate his power...
1752
02:40:39,500 --> 02:40:42,040
...unaware of how l planned to use it.
1753
02:40:42,210 --> 02:40:44,210
You see...
1754
02:40:45,090 --> 02:40:47,510
...the Comedian was right.
1755
02:40:48,220 --> 02:40:53,220
Humanity's savage nature
will inevitably lead to global annihilation.
1756
02:40:53,390 --> 02:40:56,180
So in order to save this planet...
1757
02:40:56,430 --> 02:40:58,520
... l had to trick it...
1758
02:40:58,890 --> 02:41:02,900
...with the greatest practical joke
in human history.
1759
02:41:03,190 --> 02:41:06,570
-Killing millions.
-To save billions.
1760
02:41:07,110 --> 02:41:09,070
A necessary crime.
1761
02:41:09,240 --> 02:41:11,410
You know we can't let you do that.
1762
02:41:12,870 --> 02:41:14,990
"Do that," Rorschach?
1763
02:41:15,160 --> 02:41:16,790
l'm not a comic-book villain.
1764
02:41:17,620 --> 02:41:19,910
Do you think
l'd explain my masterstroke to you...
1765
02:41:20,080 --> 02:41:24,250
...if there were even the slightest possibility
you could affect the outcome?
1766
02:41:26,960 --> 02:41:29,760
l triggered it 35 minutes ago.
1767
02:43:09,230 --> 02:43:12,230
Jesus Christ, Henry.
1768
02:43:12,400 --> 02:43:14,610
Why the hell
didn't we get a launch detection?
1769
02:43:16,530 --> 02:43:20,950
lt's not the Soviets, sir.
1770
02:43:21,540 --> 02:43:24,710
lntel indicates the energy signature...
1771
02:43:24,870 --> 02:43:27,290
...was generated by...
1772
02:43:28,250 --> 02:43:30,710
...Dr. Manhattan.
1773
02:43:33,550 --> 02:43:35,090
Jon.
1774
02:43:38,090 --> 02:43:39,220
lnterference.
1775
02:43:39,850 --> 02:43:41,720
Cataclysmic interference.
1776
02:43:51,440 --> 02:43:54,230
l can't believe it happened.
1777
02:43:55,240 --> 02:43:58,740
This wasn't caused by nuclear warheads.
1778
02:44:02,790 --> 02:44:04,080
lt was me.
1779
02:44:06,120 --> 02:44:07,750
l...
1780
02:44:08,290 --> 02:44:09,330
...did this.
1781
02:44:09,960 --> 02:44:13,420
-What do you mean, you did this?
-Not directly.
1782
02:44:14,420 --> 02:44:17,090
lt was made to look like l did it.
1783
02:44:20,140 --> 02:44:21,600
Adrian.
1784
02:44:27,850 --> 02:44:29,850
Speak of the devil.
1785
02:44:32,980 --> 02:44:34,020
Jon--
l know.
1786
02:44:34,190 --> 02:44:36,360
Must stop him.
Killed Blake, killed millions.
1787
02:44:36,530 --> 02:44:37,860
Wait here.
1788
02:44:49,000 --> 02:44:51,380
Adrian, stop this.
1789
02:44:52,840 --> 02:44:54,710
The tachyons were clever...
1790
02:44:55,840 --> 02:45:00,180
...but even if l can't predict where you are,
l can turn the walls to glass.
1791
02:45:01,510 --> 02:45:03,970
l should thank you.
1792
02:45:05,140 --> 02:45:08,350
l'd almost forgotten the excitement
of not knowing...
1793
02:45:09,350 --> 02:45:12,350
...the delights of uncertainty.
1794
02:45:16,530 --> 02:45:18,190
Forgive me, girl.
1795
02:45:41,180 --> 02:45:42,840
You're such an asshole.
1796
02:46:16,790 --> 02:46:18,710
Veidt, you bastard.
1797
02:46:18,880 --> 02:46:21,380
-lf you've hurt her, l'll--
-Dan...
1798
02:46:23,090 --> 02:46:27,720
...grow up. My new world
demands less obvious heroism.
1799
02:46:27,890 --> 02:46:29,890
Your...
1800
02:46:30,060 --> 02:46:35,020
...schoolboy heroics are redundant.
What have they achieved?
1801
02:46:36,610 --> 02:46:39,480
Failing to prevent Earth's salvation...
1802
02:46:40,440 --> 02:46:42,860
...is your only triumph.
1803
02:46:43,070 --> 02:46:44,950
l'm disappointed in you, Adrian.
1804
02:46:45,740 --> 02:46:49,240
l'm very disappointed.
1805
02:47:01,630 --> 02:47:04,800
Reassembling myself
was the first trick l learned.
1806
02:47:05,470 --> 02:47:07,890
lt didn't kill Osterman.
1807
02:47:10,470 --> 02:47:12,850
Did you really think it would kill me?
1808
02:47:14,140 --> 02:47:17,310
l have walked across the surface
of the sun.
1809
02:47:17,810 --> 02:47:20,980
l have witnessed events
so tiny and so fast...
1810
02:47:21,150 --> 02:47:24,240
...they can hardly be said
to have occurred at all...
1811
02:47:24,400 --> 02:47:28,030
...but you, Adrian, you're just a man.
1812
02:47:29,160 --> 02:47:31,660
The world's smartest man...
1813
02:47:31,950 --> 02:47:34,410
...poses no more threat to me...
1814
02:47:34,580 --> 02:47:37,710
...than does its smartest termite.
1815
02:47:39,960 --> 02:47:41,460
What's that?
1816
02:47:41,840 --> 02:47:43,710
Another ultimate weapon?
1817
02:47:44,340 --> 02:47:46,090
Yes.
1818
02:47:47,680 --> 02:47:49,140
You could say that.
1819
02:47:52,680 --> 02:47:54,640
--came under attack.
1820
02:47:55,480 --> 02:47:58,810
Millions of lives were suddenly ended...
1821
02:47:59,150 --> 02:48:04,320
...in an act of evil
perpetrated by Dr. Manhattan himself.
1822
02:48:06,150 --> 02:48:10,070
Since the attacks,
l have been in constant contact...
1823
02:48:10,240 --> 02:48:13,240
...with the premier of the U.S.S.R.
1824
02:48:13,660 --> 02:48:16,500
Putting aside our past differences...
1825
02:48:16,830 --> 02:48:19,000
...we have both pledged to unite...
1826
02:48:19,330 --> 02:48:22,670
...against this common enemy.
1827
02:48:23,170 --> 02:48:25,170
With the rest of the world...
1828
02:48:25,590 --> 02:48:27,630
...we will prevail.
1829
02:48:30,180 --> 02:48:33,180
This is a day we shall never forget.
1830
02:48:33,350 --> 02:48:37,520
And yet we go forward
to defend the human race...
1831
02:48:37,690 --> 02:48:42,360
...and all that is good
and just in our world.
1832
02:48:43,690 --> 02:48:47,900
Thank you. God bless us all.
1833
02:48:48,280 --> 02:48:50,070
Do you see?
1834
02:48:52,280 --> 02:48:54,740
Two superpowers retreating from war.
1835
02:48:56,370 --> 02:48:58,790
l've saved the earth from hell.
1836
02:48:58,960 --> 02:49:00,920
We both have.
1837
02:49:01,380 --> 02:49:03,590
This is as much your victory as it is mine.
1838
02:49:08,380 --> 02:49:09,880
Now we can return...
1839
02:49:11,340 --> 02:49:12,890
...do what we were meant to.
1840
02:49:13,050 --> 02:49:16,060
We were meant to exact justice.
1841
02:49:16,390 --> 02:49:19,730
-Everyone's gonna know what you've done.
-Will they?
1842
02:49:19,890 --> 02:49:24,690
By exposing me, you would sacrifice
the peace so many died for today.
1843
02:49:24,860 --> 02:49:28,280
-Peace based on a lie.
-But peace...
1844
02:49:28,440 --> 02:49:30,650
-...nonetheless.
-He's right.
1845
02:49:31,240 --> 02:49:35,200
Exposing Adrian would only doom the world
to nuclear destruction again.
1846
02:49:35,370 --> 02:49:38,250
No. We can't do this.
1847
02:49:38,410 --> 02:49:40,160
On Mars...
1848
02:49:41,670 --> 02:49:43,500
...you taught me the value of life.
1849
02:49:44,460 --> 02:49:46,920
lf we hope to preserve it here...
1850
02:49:47,710 --> 02:49:49,760
...we must remain silent.
1851
02:49:53,590 --> 02:49:55,510
Keep your own secrets.
1852
02:50:02,400 --> 02:50:03,600
Don't even think about it.
1853
02:50:06,190 --> 02:50:07,940
Rorschach.
1854
02:50:09,690 --> 02:50:11,240
Wait.
1855
02:50:12,280 --> 02:50:14,360
Never compromise.
1856
02:50:14,740 --> 02:50:17,620
Not even in the face of armageddon.
1857
02:50:17,990 --> 02:50:21,000
That's always been the difference
between us, Daniel.
1858
02:50:32,050 --> 02:50:35,590
l've made myself feel every death...
1859
02:50:37,050 --> 02:50:42,980
...see every innocent face
l've murdered to save humanity.
1860
02:50:48,520 --> 02:50:52,240
-You understand, don't you?
Without condoning...
1861
02:50:53,910 --> 02:50:55,820
...or condemning...
1862
02:51:00,200 --> 02:51:02,160
... l understand.
1863
02:51:09,550 --> 02:51:12,670
Out of my way. People have to be told.
1864
02:51:13,550 --> 02:51:15,510
You know l can't let you do that.
1865
02:51:16,720 --> 02:51:19,720
Suddenly you discover humanity?
1866
02:51:21,180 --> 02:51:23,020
Convenient.
1867
02:51:31,690 --> 02:51:36,280
lf you'd cared from the start,
none of this would have happened.
1868
02:51:40,030 --> 02:51:43,040
l can change almost anything...
1869
02:51:47,580 --> 02:51:49,920
...but l can't change human nature.
1870
02:51:51,250 --> 02:51:54,670
Of course
you must protect Veidt's new utopia.
1871
02:51:55,930 --> 02:51:59,260
What's one more body
amongst foundations?
1872
02:52:05,430 --> 02:52:07,310
Well, what are you waiting for?
1873
02:52:10,770 --> 02:52:12,610
Do it.
1874
02:52:18,740 --> 02:52:19,740
Do it!
1875
02:52:22,450 --> 02:52:25,830
No!
1876
02:52:43,310 --> 02:52:49,100
l'm leaving this galaxy
for one a little less complicated.
1877
02:52:49,270 --> 02:52:51,770
I thought you said you cared
about life again.
1878
02:52:51,940 --> 02:52:53,320
l do.
1879
02:52:54,650 --> 02:52:57,570
l think maybe l'll create some.
1880
02:53:01,660 --> 02:53:03,990
Goodbye, Laurie.
1881
02:53:39,240 --> 02:53:40,400
Come on.
1882
02:53:42,870 --> 02:53:44,490
Come on!
1883
02:53:48,870 --> 02:53:50,210
Dan...
1884
02:53:50,660 --> 02:53:53,460
...a world united and at peace.
1885
02:53:54,340 --> 02:53:55,500
There had to be sacrifice.
1886
02:53:55,670 --> 02:54:00,050
No! You haven't idealized mankind,
you've deformed it.
1887
02:54:00,220 --> 02:54:02,010
You've mutilated it.
1888
02:54:02,340 --> 02:54:04,510
That's your legacy.
1889
02:54:13,060 --> 02:54:15,860
That's the real practical joke.
1890
02:55:08,450 --> 02:55:12,450
We repeat, there is
nothing wrong with your television set.
1891
02:55:12,620 --> 02:55:16,080
You are about to participate
in a great adventure.
1892
02:55:16,250 --> 02:55:19,420
You are about to experience
the awe and mystery...
1893
02:55:19,590 --> 02:55:25,430
...which reaches from the inner mind
to the outer limits.
1894
02:55:26,590 --> 02:55:28,800
Sure you don't want a drink?
1895
02:55:29,810 --> 02:55:30,850
l'm okay.
1896
02:55:31,930 --> 02:55:33,140
Cheers.
1897
02:55:34,600 --> 02:55:37,730
There's something l need
to get off my chest.
1898
02:55:38,980 --> 02:55:41,480
l know that Eddie Blake was my father.
1899
02:55:44,490 --> 02:55:46,280
Laurel.
1900
02:55:47,280 --> 02:55:49,620
What you must think of me.
1901
02:55:50,450 --> 02:55:52,950
l'm sorry l never told you.
1902
02:55:53,120 --> 02:55:54,950
l should have...
1903
02:55:55,120 --> 02:55:59,250
...but l don't know, l just felt ashamed.
l felt stupid.
1904
02:55:59,420 --> 02:56:01,340
lt doesn't matter.
1905
02:56:02,170 --> 02:56:07,470
People's lives take them strange places.
They do strange things...
1906
02:56:08,010 --> 02:56:10,970
...and, well,
sometimes they can't talk about them.
1907
02:56:11,140 --> 02:56:13,470
l know how that is...
1908
02:56:14,180 --> 02:56:16,810
...but l just want you to know...
1909
02:56:17,350 --> 02:56:20,190
...that you never did anything wrong
by me.
1910
02:56:24,360 --> 02:56:28,660
You asked me why l wasn't mad at him.
1911
02:56:30,200 --> 02:56:32,700
Because he gave me you.
1912
02:56:37,710 --> 02:56:38,830
Thanks, Mom.
1913
02:56:41,540 --> 02:56:43,340
l love you.
1914
02:56:50,890 --> 02:56:55,100
-Hello, Miss Jupiter.
-Oh, Sally, please.
1915
02:56:56,730 --> 02:57:01,350
Excuse me. Gotta go freshen up.
l'll be right back.
1916
02:57:11,870 --> 02:57:16,040
-So how's it going up here?
-Good. How's it going down there?
1917
02:57:16,200 --> 02:57:19,710
Good. l think l've got everything working.
1918
02:57:19,870 --> 02:57:24,500
All of Archie's systems are upgraded.
Finished the tinkering for now...
1919
02:57:24,670 --> 02:57:26,880
...so all we gotta do is take her out.
1920
02:57:27,050 --> 02:57:30,130
Well, that sounds like a date.
1921
02:57:41,440 --> 02:57:43,730
Are we gonna be all right?
1922
02:57:45,770 --> 02:57:50,070
Long as people think Jon's
still watching us, we'll be all right...
1923
02:57:50,280 --> 02:57:52,160
...in the end.
1924
02:57:53,780 --> 02:57:55,950
l know what Jon would say:
1925
02:57:56,120 --> 02:57:58,160
Nothing ends.
1926
02:58:00,080 --> 02:58:02,670
Nothing ever ends.
1927
02:58:50,010 --> 02:58:53,800
Seymour, we got nothing
to write about anymore.
1928
02:58:53,970 --> 02:58:55,300
Everyone in the country...
1929
02:58:55,470 --> 02:58:57,760
...every country in the world
are holding hands...
1930
02:58:57,930 --> 02:59:01,180
...and singing songs
about peace and love.
1931
02:59:01,680 --> 02:59:04,560
lt's like living in a goddamn
global hippie commune.
1932
02:59:04,730 --> 02:59:08,650
Well, Ronald Reagan says he's gonna
be running for president in '88.
1933
02:59:08,820 --> 02:59:10,650
We could run a piece on that.
1934
02:59:10,820 --> 02:59:13,990
Seymour, we don't dignify absurdities
with coverage.
1935
02:59:14,150 --> 02:59:17,990
This is still America, damn it.
Who wants a cowboy in the White House?
1936
02:59:18,740 --> 02:59:23,000
Okay. l could look for something
in the crank file.
1937
02:59:23,160 --> 02:59:24,750
Crank file.
1938
02:59:24,920 --> 02:59:26,920
Whatever. Take some initiative.
1939
02:59:27,080 --> 02:59:29,670
Run whatever you like.
l leave it entirely in your hands.
1940
02:59:36,220 --> 02:59:40,930
Rorschach's journal, October 12th, 1985.
1941
02:59:41,100 --> 02:59:45,560
Tonight, a comedian died in New York.
1942
02:59:46,305 --> 02:59:52,162
