Watchmen
|
00:00:19 |
Wrong, as usual. |
00:00:21 |
The United States' lack of action |
00:00:25 |
...proves that the Soviet Union's aggression |
00:00:29 |
...will not be opposed publicly |
00:00:35 |
Issue: The Soviet Union continued |
00:00:40 |
...conducting a bomb test today |
00:00:44 |
...just 1500 miles |
00:00:48 |
President Richard Nixon |
00:00:52 |
The United States does not start fights. |
00:00:56 |
Let it be clear we maintain our strength... |
00:01:00 |
...in order to maintain peace... |
00:01:03 |
...so any adversary |
00:01:06 |
" Do the consequences |
00:01:10 |
...outweigh the potential benefits?" |
00:01:13 |
As a result of the Soviet activity... |
00:01:15 |
...the watchdog group |
00:01:18 |
...moved the Doomsday Clock |
00:01:24 |
Destruction by nuclear war. |
00:01:29 |
Question: |
00:01:31 |
On a scale of zero to 10, |
00:01:34 |
...10 meaning |
00:01:36 |
...what are the chances the Russians |
00:01:41 |
Pat Buchanan. |
00:01:42 |
Zero. |
00:01:44 |
The Soviets |
00:01:47 |
...when we have a walking nuclear deterrent |
00:01:51 |
You're referring, of course, |
00:01:53 |
...but does Dr. Manhattan's existence |
00:01:57 |
Well, it hasn't |
00:02:00 |
...from stockpiling record amounts |
00:02:05 |
You don't think it's just posturing? |
00:02:07 |
Maybe the reason |
00:02:09 |
...are doing these bomb tests... |
00:02:12 |
...is because they feel threatened |
00:02:16 |
Maybe the whole world feels like that. |
00:02:22 |
Soviet ships have violated |
00:03:01 |
Just a matter of time, I suppose. |
00:04:34 |
It's a joke. It's all a joke. |
00:04:38 |
Mother, forgive me. |
00:08:41 |
I was a hero, goddamn it! |
00:08:45 |
An act clearly meant to send |
00:08:50 |
...that violence and oppression |
00:09:32 |
Fuck you, pigs! |
00:10:04 |
Good luck, Mr. Gorsky. |
00:10:53 |
Get out of here, vigilantes! |
00:11:04 |
No! |
00:11:33 |
Edward Blake. Sixty-seven |
00:11:40 |
Guy was built like a linebacker. |
00:11:42 |
Yeah, I saw the body. |
00:11:44 |
For a guy his age, |
00:11:46 |
You mean apart from being dead? |
00:11:50 |
That's plate glass. |
00:11:52 |
You'd have to step on the gas |
00:11:55 |
Had to have been thrown. |
00:11:57 |
Check the bedroom? |
00:11:58 |
Yeah. Drawers opened, tossed through. |
00:12:01 |
Mattress flipped. Probably robbery. |
00:12:05 |
Or made to look like one. |
00:12:06 |
See this? |
00:12:08 |
- Shaking hands with the president. |
00:12:12 |
Think Blake was a spook? |
00:12:15 |
Government or black ops? |
00:12:18 |
I think... |
00:12:20 |
...this is way bigger than both of us. |
00:12:27 |
Rorschach's journal, October 12th, 1985. |
00:12:32 |
Dog carcass in alley this morning. |
00:12:38 |
This city's afraid of me. |
00:12:40 |
I've seen its true face. |
00:12:45 |
...and the gutters are full of blood. |
00:12:47 |
And when the drains finally scab over... |
00:12:51 |
...all the vermin will drown. |
00:12:54 |
The accumulated filth of all their sex |
00:12:56 |
...will foam up around their waists... |
00:12:59 |
...and all the whores and politicians |
00:13:05 |
And I'll whisper, "No. " |
00:13:10 |
Now the whole world |
00:13:13 |
...staring down into bloody hell. |
00:13:16 |
All those liberals and intellectuals... |
00:13:20 |
...and smooth talkers... |
00:13:22 |
...and all of a sudden, |
00:13:25 |
Beneath me, this awful city. |
00:13:29 |
It screams like an abattoir |
00:13:33 |
...and the night reeks of fornication |
00:14:48 |
Huh. |
00:14:58 |
Tonight, a comedian died in New York. |
00:15:02 |
Somebody knows why. |
00:15:04 |
Somebody knows. |
00:15:11 |
No, I definitely heard something. |
00:15:17 |
Watch the door. |
00:15:44 |
Shh. |
00:15:46 |
Must've been the wind. Next time you- |
00:16:02 |
It all started with the gangs. |
00:16:09 |
Pirate outfits, ghosts. |
00:16:13 |
They thought it was funny: |
00:16:17 |
As soon as we'd arrest them, |
00:16:20 |
Nobody could pick them out of a lineup |
00:16:24 |
So a few of us cops, we get together... |
00:16:26 |
...and we figure, what the heck, |
00:16:30 |
We'll finish what the law couldn't. |
00:16:33 |
Pretty soon, the papers get wind of it. |
00:16:37 |
...and oh, boy, we're a national pastime. |
00:16:41 |
It was me, Dollar Bill, Mothman... |
00:16:45 |
...Captain Metropolis, Hooded Justice... |
00:16:48 |
...Silk Spectre and the Comedian. |
00:16:52 |
Oh, don't get me started on him. |
00:16:57 |
I must be drunk already, |
00:17:02 |
I think you were trying to make a point. |
00:17:04 |
Well, my point is that we had it too easy. |
00:17:11 |
- You guys who picked up where we left off. |
00:17:16 |
Nixon, oh, that prick. To think I voted |
00:17:21 |
Hey, it was him or the commies, right? |
00:17:26 |
Oh, wow, it's almost midnight. |
00:17:31 |
Truth? |
00:17:34 |
You were a better Nite Owl |
00:17:38 |
- Hollis, we both know that's bullshit. |
00:17:42 |
Watch it with the language. |
00:17:43 |
This is the left hook |
00:17:46 |
- Yeah. |
00:17:47 |
The masked vigilante |
00:17:49 |
...has assaulted a police officer |
00:17:53 |
Rorschach is on the FBI's |
00:17:56 |
...for violation of the Keene Act, |
00:18:00 |
Rorschach reportedly incapacitated... |
00:18:03 |
Forced everyone out except him. |
00:18:06 |
Oh, he'll quit. |
00:18:07 |
When he's dead. |
00:18:09 |
- Next week? |
00:18:12 |
...you know, you don't have to |
00:18:16 |
If you got a hot date or something... |
00:18:19 |
Hey, us retired guys |
00:18:23 |
You ever miss it? |
00:18:26 |
No. You? |
00:18:29 |
Oh, heck, no. |
00:18:32 |
Be seeing you. |
00:19:48 |
Hello, Daniel. |
00:19:50 |
Rorschach. |
00:19:52 |
Helped myself to some beans. |
00:19:56 |
No, no. Course not. |
00:20:00 |
You want me to heat those up for you? |
00:20:03 |
Fine like this. |
00:20:06 |
How have you been keeping? |
00:20:12 |
Out of prison. |
00:20:15 |
Heard about you on the news. |
00:20:18 |
Say you attacked a cop. |
00:20:21 |
Minor wound. |
00:20:24 |
Daniel... |
00:20:26 |
...look at this. |
00:20:33 |
Is this bean juice? |
00:20:36 |
Badge belonged to the Comedian. |
00:20:42 |
Let's talk downstairs. |
00:20:53 |
It could have been a burglary. |
00:20:55 |
Maybe the killer didn't know |
00:20:58 |
An ordinary burglar? |
00:21:04 |
I heard he'd been working |
00:21:08 |
...knocking over Marxist republics |
00:21:11 |
Maybe it was a political killing |
00:21:14 |
Maybe. |
00:21:15 |
Maybe someone's picking off |
00:21:18 |
You don't think that's a little paranoid? |
00:21:21 |
That what they say about me now? |
00:21:24 |
Paranoid? |
00:21:25 |
Look, Comedian made |
00:21:28 |
...even among his friends. |
00:21:30 |
Speaking of friends, how's Hollis Mason? |
00:21:33 |
He wrote that book. Said some bad things |
00:21:37 |
I don't like what you're implying, |
00:21:42 |
Maybe I was keeping an eye on you, |
00:21:47 |
- You were never that sentimental. |
00:21:52 |
What do you suggest we do about it? |
00:21:55 |
Retribution. |
00:21:57 |
- Watchmen are over. |
00:22:01 |
Says me. |
00:22:05 |
Nobody knows who you are. |
00:22:07 |
You can give it up, |
00:22:10 |
That what you have now? |
00:22:15 |
When you walk down the street |
00:22:19 |
...past the human cockroaches... |
00:22:20 |
...talking about their heroin |
00:22:23 |
...do you really feel normal? |
00:22:26 |
Least I'm not the one |
00:22:31 |
No. |
00:22:33 |
You're hiding in plain sight. |
00:22:37 |
Be seeing you, Dan. |
00:22:40 |
A maintenance hatch |
00:22:42 |
Yeah, I remember. |
00:22:44 |
Came here often, |
00:22:48 |
Those were great times, huh, |
00:22:51 |
- What happened? |
00:23:17 |
Rorschach's journal. |
00:23:19 |
First visit of evening fruitless. |
00:23:21 |
Feel slightly depressed. |
00:23:24 |
Soon there will be war. |
00:23:26 |
Millions will perish |
00:23:29 |
Why does one death matter |
00:23:33 |
Because there is good and evil, |
00:23:38 |
Even in the face of armageddon... |
00:23:41 |
...I will not compromise in this. |
00:23:45 |
Mr. Veidt... |
00:23:46 |
...to date, |
00:23:48 |
...ever to reveal their true identity |
00:23:51 |
...the first being Hollis Mason. |
00:23:53 |
And you've certainly profited greatly |
00:23:56 |
...turning your superhero alter ego, |
00:24:01 |
Toys, lunchboxes, genetic engineering. |
00:24:05 |
I understand there's a movie |
00:24:07 |
- I'm not hearing a question, Mr. Roth. |
00:24:11 |
The Watchmen resent me |
00:24:14 |
It's a fair question. |
00:24:17 |
...some of my old colleagues |
00:24:20 |
...just as you're clearly aware |
00:24:23 |
...sells more magazines. |
00:24:26 |
The merchandising arm of Veidt Industries |
00:24:31 |
We recently expanded our research facility |
00:24:34 |
...in the hope of developing cheap, |
00:24:38 |
...that we might eliminate |
00:24:41 |
Now, it doesn't take |
00:24:43 |
...to see that our Cold War |
00:24:47 |
...it's based upon fear. |
00:24:51 |
But if we make resources infinite... |
00:24:55 |
...ah... |
00:24:57 |
...we make war obsolete. |
00:25:00 |
I would hope the other Watchmen |
00:25:05 |
...wherever they may be. |
00:25:09 |
Thanks for your time. |
00:25:16 |
- You look good, Adrian. |
00:25:19 |
It's been too long. |
00:25:23 |
So Rorschach thinks |
00:25:28 |
You think it's possible? |
00:25:30 |
Statistically, one murder |
00:25:34 |
Rorschach's a sociopath, Dan. |
00:25:36 |
And so was the Comedian. |
00:25:41 |
You know that better than anyone. |
00:25:43 |
I'm not here because I miss him. |
00:25:45 |
It's occurred to Rorschach... |
00:25:47 |
...that we're the only ones |
00:25:50 |
Actually, the whole world knows yours. |
00:25:53 |
That's why I'm warning you first. |
00:25:59 |
Thank you, Dan... |
00:26:03 |
...but I fear there's something |
00:26:07 |
...than Rorschach's mask killer. |
00:26:11 |
If the Russians do launch their nukes, |
00:26:16 |
The Soviets have 51,000 |
00:26:19 |
Even if Jon stops 99 percent of them... |
00:26:23 |
...the 1 percent that get through could |
00:26:30 |
Even Dr. Manhattan |
00:26:46 |
Rorschach's journal, |
00:26:52 |
...8:30 p. m. |
00:26:55 |
Meeting with Dreiberg |
00:26:59 |
A flabby failure who sits |
00:27:04 |
Why are so few of us left active... |
00:27:08 |
...healthy and without |
00:27:12 |
The first Nite Owl |
00:27:16 |
The first Silk Spectre |
00:27:20 |
...dying in a California rest resort. |
00:27:23 |
Dollar Bill got his cape stuck |
00:27:25 |
...where he got gunned down. |
00:27:28 |
Silhouette, murdered... |
00:27:30 |
...a victim of her own indecent lifestyle. |
00:27:34 |
Mothman's in an asylum in Maine. |
00:27:41 |
Even Adrian Veidt, possible homosexual. |
00:27:45 |
Must investigate further. |
00:27:48 |
Only two names remain on my list. |
00:27:51 |
Both share private quarters |
00:27:56 |
I shall go to them. |
00:27:59 |
I shall go tell the indestructible man |
00:28:05 |
Good evening, Rorschach. |
00:28:07 |
Dr. Manhattan, you know why I'm here. |
00:28:11 |
Yes... |
00:28:14 |
...but you're going to leave disappointed. |
00:28:16 |
Rorschach. You shouldn't be here. |
00:28:20 |
Nice to see you too, Silk Spectre. |
00:28:22 |
I have a real name I've been using. |
00:28:24 |
Try it. |
00:28:25 |
Whatever you say, Laurie. |
00:28:27 |
What are you doing here? |
00:28:29 |
The Comedian is dead. |
00:28:32 |
Rorschach wants me |
00:28:34 |
...see if the killer is ever |
00:28:37 |
Already warned Dreiberg. |
00:28:42 |
Even if I wanted to help... |
00:28:45 |
...my future is blocked |
00:28:50 |
- I cannot see it clearly. |
00:28:54 |
In all likelihood, nuclear holocaust. |
00:28:58 |
If the United States and Soviet Union |
00:29:02 |
...the resulting blast wave would produce |
00:29:07 |
...particles which travel backward |
00:29:12 |
...therefore obscuring my vision |
00:29:16 |
I must return to my work. |
00:29:18 |
Wait a minute. |
00:29:19 |
What if that's why |
00:29:22 |
So we can't do anything to stop it? |
00:29:24 |
Goodbye, Rorschach. |
00:29:26 |
Took a lot of effort |
00:29:29 |
I'm not leaving... |
00:29:31 |
...till I've had my say. |
00:29:41 |
Seems like there's a lot of things |
00:29:44 |
I didn't wanna worry you prematurely. |
00:29:47 |
If Adrian and I can solve the energy crisis, |
00:29:52 |
But you always say time is simultaneous. |
00:29:54 |
If that's true, |
00:29:58 |
If only you could perceive time as I do. |
00:30:03 |
Please let me show you. |
00:30:10 |
Magic. Dreams. That is what I had before. |
00:30:14 |
It's not my fault you got old. |
00:30:18 |
I'm putting food on the table |
00:30:21 |
Call your friend Eddie. |
00:30:24 |
- It was a mistake. One time. |
00:30:28 |
Stop! |
00:30:30 |
Your mind goes to dark places... |
00:30:32 |
...and you wonder |
00:30:38 |
- Say hello to Dan for me. |
00:30:44 |
You wanna ask me |
00:30:48 |
...like we used to... |
00:30:52 |
...but you won't. |
00:30:54 |
You know I can't. |
00:30:58 |
So you'll call Dan... |
00:31:01 |
...which is only natural. |
00:31:04 |
You deserve the comfort of an old friend. |
00:31:41 |
Dan Dreiberg's table. |
00:32:03 |
Did you know that |
00:32:08 |
You remember that crazy guy? |
00:32:11 |
Captain Carnage. |
00:32:12 |
Used to pretend he was a supervillain |
00:32:16 |
Yeah, he tried that on me once. |
00:32:18 |
He starts following me down the street |
00:32:22 |
...yelling, " Punish me! Punish me!" |
00:32:24 |
I'm just saying, " No, get lost. " |
00:32:28 |
God, whatever happened to him? |
00:32:31 |
Oh. Um... |
00:32:33 |
...and Rorschach |
00:32:42 |
Oh, my God. That's not even funny. |
00:32:45 |
- It's a little funny. |
00:32:50 |
I'm glad I ordered |
00:32:52 |
It's really good to see you again. |
00:32:55 |
It's great seeing you too. |
00:32:57 |
Why'd we do it, Dan? Dress up like that? |
00:33:01 |
- No one else would. |
00:33:05 |
All that tight latex? |
00:33:08 |
Uh... Yeah, yeah, awful. |
00:33:11 |
But didn't wanna disappoint Mother. |
00:33:14 |
Wanted her little girl to be just like her |
00:33:18 |
I think the Keene Act was the best thing |
00:33:23 |
Well, we'll live longer anyway. |
00:33:29 |
What? |
00:33:31 |
Jon thinks, unless he can do something |
00:33:36 |
...that there's gonna be nuclear war. |
00:33:39 |
Soon. |
00:33:41 |
But I don't know what to think. |
00:33:45 |
...quantum mechanics |
00:33:48 |
I never even know |
00:33:52 |
He just keeps getting further away |
00:33:56 |
Everyone. |
00:33:59 |
I can't even tell |
00:34:02 |
...or if he's just pretending. |
00:34:04 |
If he's pretending, it means he cares. |
00:34:12 |
Hold on, I'll get the door. |
00:34:15 |
Thanks, Dan. |
00:34:17 |
- Got it? |
00:34:25 |
You always get |
00:34:29 |
They're making sure I don't do anything to |
00:34:34 |
I'm sorry. |
00:34:36 |
I invite you out to dinner to catch up |
00:34:40 |
...but there don't seem to be many laughs |
00:34:44 |
What do you expect? |
00:36:31 |
Laurie? Is that you? |
00:36:37 |
Thought you'd be used |
00:36:41 |
Well, I'm not. |
00:36:45 |
Well, it beats flying coach. |
00:36:48 |
Margarita? |
00:36:51 |
Mother, it's 2:00 in the afternoon. |
00:36:55 |
Mm. |
00:36:58 |
Remember that guy |
00:37:00 |
He sent me an item of memorabilia. |
00:37:04 |
This little eight-page porno comic |
00:37:08 |
- He sent you this? - Sure. They're |
00:37:13 |
Mother, this is gross. |
00:37:15 |
I think it's kind of flattering. |
00:37:17 |
Why do you always call me Mother |
00:37:21 |
I know why you're here. |
00:37:26 |
I saw it in the paper. |
00:37:29 |
Eddie Blake's funeral is today. |
00:37:33 |
Finally got his punchline, I guess. |
00:37:37 |
- Poor Eddie. |
00:37:40 |
Oh, Laurie, you're still young. |
00:37:43 |
You don't know. |
00:37:44 |
Things change. |
00:37:47 |
What happened happened 40 years ago. |
00:37:50 |
I'm 67 years old. |
00:37:54 |
Every day, the future |
00:37:59 |
But the past... |
00:38:01 |
...even the grimy parts of it... |
00:38:05 |
...keep on getting brighter. |
00:38:13 |
I've got spots in my eyes. |
00:38:19 |
Stop it, Eddie. |
00:38:23 |
- Thank you, Weegee. |
00:38:28 |
Tomorrow, 3:00, my studio. |
00:38:31 |
- Little place on 21 st. |
00:38:34 |
Wow, a real photo session. |
00:38:41 |
Oh, go ahead. I'll be there in five. |
00:39:01 |
Eddie. |
00:39:03 |
What the hell are you doing here? |
00:39:07 |
Sure I did. |
00:39:10 |
Come on, baby. |
00:39:12 |
I know what you need. |
00:39:15 |
You gotta have some kind of reason |
00:39:19 |
I said no, Eddie. |
00:39:22 |
- No spelled Y-E-S. |
00:39:26 |
- All right? |
00:39:34 |
Eddie... |
00:40:17 |
You little bastard. |
00:40:26 |
This what you like? |
00:40:27 |
- This what makes you hot? |
00:40:40 |
Things are tough all over, cupcake. |
00:40:44 |
It rains on the just and the unjust alike. |
00:40:48 |
The Comedian was a little bit of both. |
00:40:53 |
And he always thought |
00:40:57 |
Thou knowest, Lord, |
00:41:01 |
Shut not thy merciful ears |
00:41:04 |
...but spare us, Lord most holy, |
00:41:09 |
...O holy and merciful savior. |
00:41:13 |
Thou most worthy judge eternal. |
00:41:16 |
Suffer us not at our last hour |
00:42:46 |
Fireworks. You gotta be kidding me. |
00:42:49 |
You know, you'd think this goddamn |
00:42:54 |
You know, if we'd lost here in Vietnam... |
00:42:57 |
...I think it might have driven us crazy. |
00:43:03 |
But we didn't, thanks to you. |
00:43:08 |
You sound bitter. |
00:43:10 |
Me? Bitter? |
00:43:12 |
Fuck, no. I think it's hilarious. |
00:43:22 |
Oh, Jesus Christ. |
00:43:24 |
- Mr. Eddie? |
00:43:27 |
The war is over now. |
00:43:33 |
There's nothing to talk about. |
00:43:36 |
I'm gonna forget about you... |
00:43:38 |
...and your horrible, sweaty, |
00:43:41 |
Get the fuck out of here. |
00:43:44 |
- No. |
00:43:46 |
You will remember. |
00:43:49 |
You will remember me and my country... |
00:43:53 |
...forever! |
00:43:57 |
My face! |
00:44:01 |
Blake. Don't. |
00:44:03 |
Blake! |
00:44:11 |
She was pregnant... |
00:44:15 |
...and you gunned her down. |
00:44:17 |
That's right... |
00:44:19 |
...and you know what? You watched me. |
00:44:21 |
You could have turned the gun to steam, |
00:44:24 |
...the bottle into goddamn snowflakes, |
00:44:29 |
You really don't give a damn |
00:44:33 |
You're drifting out of touch, Doc. |
00:44:38 |
God help us all. |
00:44:42 |
Medic! |
00:44:50 |
Most holy and merciful savior. |
00:44:54 |
He cometh up and is cut down, |
00:44:59 |
In the midst of life, we are in death. |
00:45:04 |
Of whom may we seek succor, |
00:45:12 |
Welcome. We'll be starting shortly. |
00:45:16 |
We're waiting for one more. |
00:45:28 |
I told you, you wouldn't be |
00:45:33 |
Welcome, doctor. |
00:45:35 |
Now we can start. |
00:45:37 |
Thank you for coming. Acquaint yourselves |
00:45:42 |
This is all bullshit. |
00:45:44 |
For a guy who calls himself the Comedian, |
00:45:49 |
Watchmen. That's the real joke. |
00:45:52 |
It didn't work 15 years ago, |
00:45:55 |
...because you wanna play |
00:45:58 |
Maybe we should agree |
00:46:02 |
Rorschach and I have made headway |
00:46:06 |
A group this size seems like a publicity |
00:46:10 |
We can do so much more. |
00:46:12 |
We can save this world... |
00:46:16 |
- ... with the right leadership. |
00:46:21 |
And that'd be you, right, Ozzy? |
00:46:23 |
I mean, hell, |
00:46:26 |
It doesn't take a genius |
00:46:29 |
But it takes a room of morons to think |
00:46:34 |
You people. |
00:46:35 |
You hear Moloch's back in town, |
00:46:39 |
- You think catching him matters? |
00:46:43 |
Justice. |
00:46:45 |
Justice is coming to all of us. |
00:46:47 |
No matter what the fuck we do. |
00:46:50 |
You know, mankind's been trying to kill |
00:46:54 |
Now we finally have the power |
00:46:59 |
Ain't nothing gonna matter once |
00:47:06 |
Then Ozymandias here... |
00:47:09 |
...will be the smartest man |
00:47:20 |
For as much as it hath pleased... |
00:47:23 |
...almighty God to take onto himself |
00:47:29 |
...let us therefore commit his body |
00:47:33 |
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes... |
00:48:00 |
Watchmen! Police! |
00:48:11 |
Attention, citizens. |
00:48:15 |
You must clear the streets |
00:48:20 |
If you could- |
00:48:24 |
We are trying to retain order on the |
00:48:28 |
Crawl back in your holes |
00:48:30 |
- I got rubber bullets. |
00:48:33 |
- You are not the law! |
00:48:36 |
No more vigilantes! |
00:48:37 |
My son's a police officer, |
00:48:42 |
Goddamn it. All right. |
00:48:57 |
There's no need for violence. |
00:48:59 |
Fuck you. Fuck you! |
00:49:08 |
Oh, this is getting heavy. |
00:49:34 |
Goddamn, I love working |
00:49:38 |
Ain't had this much fun |
00:49:40 |
How long can we keep this up? |
00:49:42 |
Congress is pushing through some new bill |
00:49:46 |
Our days are numbered. |
00:49:47 |
Until then, it's like you always say: |
00:49:52 |
- From what? |
00:49:56 |
- Son of a bitch. |
00:50:00 |
Get your stinking hands off me. |
00:50:04 |
What the hell happened to us? |
00:50:11 |
What happened to the American dream? |
00:50:14 |
What happened to the American dream? |
00:50:17 |
It came true! |
00:50:19 |
You're looking at it. |
00:52:24 |
Edgar William Jacobi. |
00:52:26 |
Also known as Edgar William Vaughn. |
00:52:33 |
What are you talking about? |
00:52:37 |
I'm a retired businessman- |
00:52:40 |
Lie again, Moloch, I break another finger. |
00:52:43 |
I did my time. |
00:52:46 |
I'm not Moloch anymore. |
00:52:49 |
- What do you want from me? |
00:52:54 |
I just felt I should... |
00:52:58 |
...pay my respects to the Comedian. |
00:53:04 |
- How'd you know he was the Comedian? |
00:53:09 |
He had his mask off. |
00:53:11 |
- He was drunk. |
00:53:15 |
- Why should he visit you? |
00:53:18 |
I woke up in my bedroom |
00:53:21 |
He was upset. |
00:53:24 |
He was crying. |
00:53:26 |
Crying? The Comedian? |
00:53:28 |
He was babbling, not making any sense. |
00:53:32 |
I was pissing in my pants. |
00:53:35 |
I thought he was gonna kill me. |
00:53:37 |
What did he say? |
00:53:41 |
It's a joke. |
00:53:43 |
It's all a fucking joke. |
00:53:48 |
You know, I thought I knew how it was. |
00:53:51 |
I thought I knew how the world was. |
00:53:55 |
I've done some bad things. |
00:53:58 |
I did bad things to women. I shot kids. |
00:54:02 |
In 'Nam, you know. |
00:54:04 |
But that was fucking war. |
00:54:07 |
This... |
00:54:09 |
I never done anything like this. |
00:54:14 |
God, here I am... |
00:54:17 |
...spilling my guts... |
00:54:20 |
...to one of my archenemies. |
00:54:24 |
But the truth is... |
00:54:26 |
...you're the closest thing to a friend |
00:54:35 |
Shit. |
00:54:39 |
And your name... |
00:54:41 |
...your name was on the list... |
00:54:43 |
...along with Janey, you know, |
00:54:48 |
Manhattan's old girl. |
00:54:54 |
Mother, forgive me. |
00:54:58 |
And then he left. |
00:55:00 |
I swear I don't know |
00:55:12 |
Funny story. |
00:55:14 |
Sounds unbelievable. |
00:55:17 |
Probably true. |
00:55:20 |
So that's it? |
00:55:22 |
- I'm clean? |
00:55:28 |
Clean? |
00:55:34 |
Amygdalin. |
00:55:35 |
This phony medication |
00:55:38 |
- It's illegal. |
00:55:43 |
Please don't confiscate that. |
00:55:46 |
I'm trying anything. |
00:55:51 |
I have cancer. |
00:55:53 |
What kind of cancer? |
00:55:56 |
You know the kind |
00:56:01 |
That ain't the kind I got. |
00:56:06 |
Rorschach's journal. October 16th. |
00:56:11 |
Want some of this? |
00:56:14 |
- Thought about Moloch's story. |
00:56:17 |
Could all be lies. |
00:56:19 |
A revenge scheme |
00:56:23 |
Fuck you. I make more in a week than |
00:56:28 |
But if it's true... |
00:56:30 |
...what could have possibly |
00:56:33 |
...enough to cry in front of Moloch? |
00:56:36 |
What was it he saw? |
00:56:39 |
And that list he mentioned. |
00:56:45 |
Edward Blake. The Comedian. |
00:56:48 |
Born 1918. |
00:56:51 |
Buried in the rain. |
00:56:53 |
Murdered. |
00:56:55 |
Is that what happens to us? |
00:57:00 |
Only our enemies leave roses. |
00:57:03 |
Violent lives ending violently. |
00:57:08 |
Blake understood. |
00:57:12 |
No matter how much you try |
00:57:16 |
...to disguise it... |
00:57:19 |
...Blake saw society's true face. |
00:57:23 |
Chose to be a parody of it. A joke. |
00:57:27 |
I heard joke once. |
00:57:30 |
Man goes to doctor, says he's depressed. |
00:57:34 |
Life seems harsh and cruel. |
00:57:38 |
Says he feels all alone |
00:57:42 |
Doctor says treatment is simple. |
00:57:45 |
" The great clown Pagliacci is in town. |
00:57:49 |
That should pick you up. " |
00:57:52 |
Man bursts into tears. |
00:57:55 |
"But doctor, " he says. "I am Pagliacci. " |
00:58:01 |
Good joke. |
00:58:03 |
Everybody laugh. |
00:58:06 |
Roll on snare drum. |
00:58:08 |
Curtains. |
00:58:18 |
What time do you have to be |
00:58:21 |
Don't worry. |
00:58:23 |
We've got plenty of time. |
00:58:32 |
Your finger's like licking a battery. |
00:58:55 |
God, Jon, stop. What are you doing? |
00:58:58 |
Please don't be upset. |
00:58:59 |
I always thought you liked this. |
00:59:03 |
No. |
00:59:06 |
I don't- No. |
00:59:10 |
I don't want that. |
00:59:13 |
I don't know |
00:59:18 |
Look, I know you were just trying- |
00:59:24 |
Are you working in here |
00:59:27 |
My work with Adrian |
00:59:30 |
- I didn't think it was necessary to- |
00:59:34 |
To what? To tell me which one of you |
00:59:46 |
My attention was completely focused |
00:59:49 |
If you think there's a problem |
00:59:52 |
...I am prepared to discuss it. |
00:59:56 |
You know how everything in this world |
01:00:00 |
What am I to you? |
01:00:04 |
Have your men stand back. |
01:00:09 |
You're my only remaining link |
01:00:19 |
I don't want that responsibility anymore. |
01:00:28 |
He's all yours. |
01:00:36 |
Don't worry, Jon. She'll be back. |
01:00:40 |
No, she won't. |
01:00:56 |
He's been called |
01:01:01 |
...linchpin of our national security... |
01:01:04 |
...deterrent to nuclear war, |
01:01:09 |
Later tonight, Dr. Manhattan... |
01:01:12 |
...will answer my questions and yours |
01:01:17 |
...brought to you commercial-free |
01:01:36 |
Who is it? |
01:01:38 |
It's Laurie. |
01:01:51 |
Sorry. I just had this new lock installed. |
01:01:54 |
I didn't know where else to go. |
01:01:57 |
Oh, it's okay. Come in. |
01:02:07 |
What's wrong? |
01:02:10 |
I left Jon. |
01:02:12 |
Oh, God. |
01:02:15 |
I'm so sorry. |
01:02:17 |
I don't know why I'm here. I just... |
01:02:21 |
I don't know anybody else. |
01:02:24 |
I don't know anybody |
01:02:28 |
That's okay. |
01:02:30 |
You probably just had an argument |
01:02:33 |
No, Dan. |
01:02:34 |
You don't know what it's been like |
01:02:38 |
The way he looks at things now, |
01:02:41 |
...remember what they are. |
01:02:43 |
It's like this world, this real world... |
01:02:47 |
...to him, |
01:02:50 |
And people are just shadows. |
01:02:55 |
Shadows in a fog. |
01:02:58 |
God, how did everything |
01:03:03 |
I'm sorry, Dan. |
01:03:06 |
This is twice now |
01:03:10 |
Come on. I'm glad you came over. |
01:03:13 |
I was just gonna see Hollis |
01:03:16 |
You're more than welcome to join. |
01:03:20 |
In fact, I insist. |
01:03:55 |
Terrific. Dr. Manhattan arrives |
01:03:58 |
He just- |
01:04:01 |
That blue is too light for television. |
01:04:06 |
Is that dark enough? |
01:04:09 |
Yeah, that's dark enough. |
01:04:12 |
The weight of the world's on him, |
01:04:16 |
News vendors always cope. They're the- |
01:04:19 |
Oh, God, here comes |
01:04:23 |
I told you, this month's issue |
01:04:26 |
Why do you care about that right-wing |
01:04:31 |
Hold up. Here they come. |
01:04:37 |
- Seymour. |
01:04:40 |
Fine, fine. |
01:04:41 |
See this guy behind me? |
01:04:47 |
Maybe we should get a cab. |
01:04:51 |
Yeah, well, I'm in a bad mood. |
01:05:07 |
Girl. |
01:05:10 |
Here's a list of Pentagon-approved |
01:05:13 |
Afghanistan will obviously come up, |
01:05:16 |
...and try not to get |
01:05:18 |
- A renowned nuclear physicist, |
01:05:22 |
...was gifted with extraordinary powers, |
01:05:28 |
Today, the world knows him |
01:05:33 |
Welcome. |
01:05:39 |
Thank you. |
01:05:40 |
That's right. |
01:05:49 |
Ms. Black, you have the first question. |
01:05:52 |
Dr. Manhattan, as you know... |
01:05:53 |
...the Doomsday Clock |
01:05:57 |
...analogizing humankind's proximity |
01:06:00 |
...midnight representing the threat |
01:06:03 |
As of now, it stands at four minutes |
01:06:07 |
Would you agree that we're that close |
01:06:10 |
My father was a watchmaker. |
01:06:13 |
He abandoned it when Einstein discovered |
01:06:19 |
I would only agree |
01:06:21 |
...is as nourishing to the intellect... |
01:06:23 |
...as a photograph of oxygen |
01:06:29 |
So you're saying there is no danger. |
01:06:31 |
Even in a world without nuclear |
01:06:40 |
And would you say, as so many claim... |
01:06:42 |
...that you are, in fact, a god... |
01:06:45 |
...given you see the past |
01:06:48 |
I can only see my own past... |
01:06:50 |
...my own future. I am not omniscient. |
01:06:55 |
Doug Roth, your question? |
01:06:56 |
Speaking of your past, Dr. Manhattan... |
01:06:59 |
...do you remember a man |
01:07:02 |
Yes. We were both physicists together |
01:07:08 |
He died of cancer. |
01:07:10 |
- He was a good man. |
01:07:13 |
...also known as the supervillain Moloch? |
01:07:17 |
You encountered him several times |
01:07:21 |
Did you know that he has cancer as well? |
01:07:24 |
I wasn't told. |
01:07:26 |
And what about |
01:07:28 |
He was your handler when you first |
01:07:32 |
Cancer. |
01:07:33 |
You're suggesting I was the cause. |
01:07:36 |
From where I'm standing, |
01:07:39 |
Even if that's the case, it's irrelevant. |
01:07:42 |
A live human body |
01:07:45 |
...have the same number of particles. |
01:07:49 |
Structurally, there's no difference. |
01:07:52 |
All right. Let's settle down, please. |
01:08:01 |
What about Janey Slater? |
01:08:03 |
You think it makes a difference to her? |
01:08:06 |
Janey? |
01:08:08 |
Your ex-girlfriend? |
01:08:09 |
She was a physicist too. |
01:08:13 |
Doug, one question at a time. |
01:08:15 |
She has cancer as well. |
01:08:18 |
Isn't that right, Miss Slater? |
01:08:36 |
You were the world to me, Jon. |
01:08:38 |
You were my whole life. |
01:08:41 |
Do you remember how many times |
01:08:44 |
Janey, I wasn't told. |
01:08:46 |
I stuck by you after the accident. |
01:08:57 |
This is how you repay me? |
01:08:59 |
- Janey, I wasn't told. I didn't know. |
01:09:04 |
Janey, wait. |
01:09:07 |
- That's it. This interview is over. |
01:09:10 |
Get those cameras off. |
01:09:12 |
Everybody back off. |
01:09:16 |
Please, if everyone |
01:09:23 |
...and leave me alone... |
01:09:25 |
Do you care to comment? |
01:09:28 |
I said, leave me alone! |
01:09:56 |
Jesus. |
01:09:59 |
Us... |
01:10:01 |
...getting mugged. |
01:10:06 |
Let's go. |
01:10:13 |
I'm shaking. |
01:10:19 |
You know what? |
01:10:21 |
I'm wiped. I'm just gonna call it a night. |
01:10:25 |
Oh, are you sure you don't wanna |
01:10:28 |
...and shake off the adrenaline? |
01:10:31 |
I think I've had enough hero stuff |
01:10:35 |
It helped having you listen. |
01:10:38 |
Any time. |
01:10:40 |
Take care, Dan. |
01:10:43 |
It's a rough world out there. |
01:10:47 |
Be seeing you. |
01:10:52 |
You're late. |
01:10:54 |
Ah, I know. I know. |
01:10:57 |
Dr. Manhattan just lost it on live TV. |
01:11:00 |
Wait, what? |
01:11:07 |
I was just with Laurie. She doesn't know. |
01:11:10 |
She's gonna know soon enough. |
01:11:14 |
I said, leave me alone! |
01:11:26 |
I am looking at the stars. |
01:11:29 |
They're so far away... |
01:11:32 |
...and their light takes so long |
01:11:37 |
...all we ever see of stars |
01:11:45 |
It is July, 1959, and I am in love. |
01:11:49 |
That's great. |
01:11:51 |
- You can pick it up tomorrow. |
01:11:53 |
- Seventy-five cents. |
01:11:55 |
Thank you. |
01:11:56 |
Gosh, Jon, I wish he gave us a |
01:12:01 |
Oh, no, no. |
01:12:09 |
Her name is Janey Slater. |
01:12:13 |
She is a physicist, like me. |
01:12:17 |
I am 30 years old. |
01:12:23 |
We were introduced by a good friend |
01:12:31 |
It is February 12th, 1981. |
01:12:34 |
Wally dies of cancer, |
01:12:55 |
That night, Janey and I make love |
01:13:06 |
A month from now, |
01:13:16 |
Oh, I'll catch up with you guys. |
01:13:21 |
Hey. Let's just wait a second. |
01:13:26 |
I cross the room to the |
01:13:37 |
When I get to the door... |
01:13:40 |
...Wally is turning white. |
01:13:42 |
The program's locked in. |
01:13:47 |
I am terrified. |
01:13:49 |
Jon? |
01:13:55 |
I'm sorry, Jon... |
01:13:59 |
...but I can't- |
01:14:03 |
Janey, don't leave me! |
01:14:05 |
Don't leave me! |
01:14:39 |
It is May 12th, 1959, |
01:14:44 |
She buys me a beer... |
01:14:47 |
...the first time a woman |
01:14:51 |
As she passes me the cold, |
01:14:55 |
...our fingers touch. |
01:15:10 |
Yes, Jon, good. |
01:15:12 |
Now it's just a question of reassembling |
01:15:21 |
I feel fear... |
01:15:24 |
...for the last time. |
01:15:42 |
A token funeral is held. |
01:15:45 |
There is nothing to bury. |
01:15:48 |
Janey frames the snapshot. |
01:15:50 |
It's the only photograph of me |
01:15:55 |
A circulatory system is seen |
01:16:00 |
A few days later... |
01:16:02 |
...a partially muscled skeleton |
01:16:05 |
...and screams for a moment |
01:16:34 |
Oh, God. |
01:16:36 |
Jon? |
01:16:39 |
Is that you? |
01:16:41 |
Nations around the world |
01:16:45 |
...possibly the most significant event |
01:16:47 |
We repeat, the superman exists, |
01:16:58 |
They call me Dr. Manhattan. |
01:17:03 |
They explain the name |
01:17:05 |
...for the ominous associations |
01:17:14 |
The marketing boys say I need a logo. |
01:17:26 |
If I'm to have a symbol... |
01:17:30 |
...it shall be one I respect. |
01:17:43 |
They are shaping me |
01:17:47 |
...something lethal. |
01:17:54 |
In January, 1971... |
01:17:57 |
...President Nixon asks me to intervene |
01:18:00 |
...something that his predecessors |
01:18:05 |
A week later, the conflict ends. |
01:18:08 |
Some of the Vietcong forces |
01:18:16 |
Hollis Mason, a retired costume hero, |
01:18:20 |
In it, he calls my arrival |
01:18:25 |
I am not sure if I know what that means. |
01:18:44 |
You see, at the time, I was misquoted. |
01:18:48 |
I never said, " The superman exists |
01:18:51 |
What I said was, " God exists, |
01:18:58 |
Now, if you begin to feel an intense... |
01:19:00 |
...and crushing feeling of religious terror |
01:19:05 |
...don't be alarmed. |
01:19:07 |
That indicates only |
01:19:14 |
It is Christmas, 1963. |
01:19:17 |
Janey tells me she is afraid, and worried. |
01:19:21 |
She says I am like a god now. |
01:19:25 |
I tell her I don't think there is a God. |
01:19:27 |
And if there is, I'm nothing like him. |
01:19:35 |
I tell her I still want her... |
01:19:38 |
...and that I always will. |
01:19:43 |
As I lie to her, it is September 4th, 1970. |
01:19:48 |
I am in a room |
01:19:53 |
A very young girl looks at me and smiles. |
01:19:59 |
She's beautiful. |
01:20:05 |
After each long kiss, she plants a smaller, |
01:20:11 |
...like a signature. |
01:20:14 |
Janey accuses me of chasing jailbait. |
01:20:17 |
She bursts into angry tears, |
01:20:23 |
It's true. |
01:20:27 |
She's aging more noticeably every day... |
01:20:36 |
...while I am standing still. |
01:20:40 |
I prefer the stillness here. |
01:20:44 |
I am tired of Earth. |
01:20:46 |
These people. |
01:20:48 |
I'm tired of being caught |
01:21:15 |
They claim their labors |
01:21:18 |
...yet their heaven is populated |
01:21:22 |
Perhaps the world is not made. |
01:21:26 |
Perhaps nothing is made. |
01:21:29 |
A clock without a craftsman. |
01:21:33 |
It's too late. |
01:21:36 |
Always has been... |
01:21:38 |
...always will be... |
01:21:41 |
...too late. |
01:21:44 |
And you have no idea |
01:21:47 |
How would I know? |
01:21:49 |
Probably on the other side |
01:21:51 |
Our satellites have done |
01:21:54 |
There's no trace of his |
01:21:57 |
Really? |
01:21:58 |
Miss Jupiter, did you and |
01:22:02 |
None of your fucking business. |
01:22:03 |
It is when you're on government payroll |
01:22:08 |
That's as close to the word " whore" |
01:22:20 |
Smoke? |
01:22:22 |
My apologies, Miss Jupiter. |
01:22:24 |
You know how important Dr. Manhattan |
01:22:28 |
You can imagine our concern. |
01:22:30 |
I can only imagine. |
01:22:38 |
Ain't nothing gonna matter once |
01:22:43 |
Then Ozymandias here... |
01:22:46 |
...will be the smartest man |
01:23:06 |
Laurel? Laurel Jane? |
01:23:11 |
You're Sally Jupiter's kid. |
01:23:14 |
You're the Comedian, right? |
01:23:16 |
You were pretty cool in there. |
01:23:19 |
You know, your mom, she was one |
01:23:23 |
You got her eyes, you know. |
01:23:28 |
Take your hands off her. |
01:23:30 |
Hey, doll. Long time no see. |
01:23:33 |
Not long enough in my book, Eddie. |
01:23:38 |
Are there no depths you won't sink to? |
01:23:40 |
Jesus Christ, Sally. |
01:23:44 |
...you know, old friend's daughter? |
01:23:46 |
I mean, what the hell do you think I am? |
01:23:49 |
We found him! |
01:23:53 |
- We found him. |
01:23:59 |
Mars. |
01:24:06 |
Mr. President... |
01:24:08 |
...the Soviets have moved their tanks |
01:24:15 |
They are testing us... |
01:24:16 |
...to see if we manufactured |
01:24:21 |
...to coax a move out of them. |
01:24:24 |
If they realize it's not a hoax, |
01:24:28 |
If they do, they'll have Afghanistan |
01:24:33 |
A watchdog group of nuclear scientists |
01:24:37 |
...to two minutes until midnight. |
01:24:40 |
Get this shit off the screen. |
01:24:43 |
Who are these assholes to say |
01:24:46 |
I say when doomsday is approaching. |
01:24:54 |
Now, then. |
01:24:57 |
What about the rest |
01:25:00 |
Czechoslovakia, Poland and East Germany |
01:25:04 |
But no movement yet. |
01:25:07 |
Letting the Russians take the lead. |
01:25:13 |
Bold moves, Henry. |
01:25:17 |
We can't let these fuckers |
01:25:20 |
Yes. They must fear the madman |
01:25:29 |
How soon can we be ready |
01:25:34 |
Two days. |
01:25:35 |
We have a 54 percent chance |
01:25:39 |
...before they get their missiles airborne. |
01:25:43 |
What would our losses be? |
01:25:45 |
Assuming conservative projections... |
01:25:47 |
...of how many Soviet warheads |
01:25:50 |
...we'll lose all of the East Coast. |
01:25:52 |
The last gasp... |
01:25:55 |
...of the Harvard establishment. |
01:25:58 |
Let's see them think their way |
01:26:01 |
With anticipated wind patterns, |
01:26:05 |
Mexico would catch the worst of it. |
01:26:07 |
Most of the farm belt |
01:26:10 |
Not so bad... |
01:26:12 |
...all things considered. |
01:26:17 |
Mr. President... |
01:26:19 |
...what would you like to do? |
01:26:29 |
Take us to DEFCON two. |
01:26:31 |
Begin fueling the bombers. |
01:26:34 |
Dr. Manhattan has two days. |
01:26:37 |
After that... |
01:26:39 |
...humanity is in the hands |
01:26:43 |
Let's just hope he's on our side. |
01:26:48 |
There must be a way to reach him. |
01:26:50 |
Radio transmission, space shuttles- |
01:26:51 |
Excuse me. |
01:26:53 |
I need to use the restroom. |
01:27:17 |
Don't you understand? |
01:27:19 |
The only thing that can |
01:27:22 |
If he wants to find me, he will. |
01:27:24 |
I've been a prisoner in my life |
01:27:27 |
Without Dr. Manhattan around... |
01:27:28 |
...to bully the Russians into peace, |
01:27:32 |
...people are going to need good, |
01:27:36 |
You can understand. |
01:27:38 |
The world can't just quit on oil |
01:27:43 |
You'll dismantle |
01:27:46 |
You're right, Lee. And why free energy? |
01:27:49 |
Well, " free" is just another word |
01:27:52 |
We might have to |
01:27:54 |
...into any past communist affiliations |
01:27:57 |
Mr. Lacocca, gentlemen... |
01:28:01 |
...I respect your position... |
01:28:04 |
...and what you've accomplished |
01:28:08 |
You wanna know my past? Hm? |
01:28:11 |
Okay. Happily. |
01:28:14 |
It's a matter of public record that by 17, |
01:28:18 |
...leaving me alone. |
01:28:21 |
I guess you could say |
01:28:24 |
They say I'm the smartest man in the world, |
01:28:29 |
...at being unable to relate to anyone. |
01:28:33 |
Well, anyone living, that is. |
01:28:37 |
The only person |
01:28:39 |
...died 300 years |
01:28:42 |
Alexander of Macedonia, |
01:28:48 |
His vision of a united world was... |
01:28:54 |
Well, it was unprecedented. |
01:28:56 |
I wanted... |
01:28:58 |
...needed to match |
01:29:00 |
...so I resolved to apply antiquity's |
01:29:04 |
And so began my path to conquest. |
01:29:07 |
Conquest not of men... |
01:29:11 |
...but of the evils that beset them. |
01:29:15 |
Fossil fuels, oil, nuclear power... |
01:29:19 |
...are like a drug, and you, |
01:29:22 |
- ... are the pushers. |
01:29:24 |
No. |
01:29:28 |
You listen. |
01:29:31 |
The world will survive... |
01:29:34 |
...and it deserves more |
01:29:37 |
So let's cut to it, shall we? |
01:29:40 |
I'm worth more |
01:29:43 |
I could buy and sell you, something |
01:29:47 |
...should you choose |
01:29:54 |
I think you know the way out. |
01:29:59 |
Gentlemen. |
01:30:03 |
The toy people wanna talk to you about |
01:30:06 |
- Seems all the old villains are dead. |
01:30:10 |
- I think I have some ideas. |
01:30:14 |
I think we got off on the wrong foot. |
01:30:56 |
He's got a poison capsule. |
01:30:58 |
Don't bite down, you son of a bitch. |
01:31:03 |
Give me a name! |
01:31:16 |
Suicide pill. |
01:31:18 |
Potassium cyanide. |
01:31:21 |
Thanks, hon. |
01:31:24 |
Then Rorschach was right. |
01:31:26 |
This wasn't some lone nut. |
01:31:28 |
It's an organization: |
01:31:33 |
But who'd wanna kill us now? |
01:31:37 |
I don't know, but it's not safe out here. |
01:31:45 |
So no word from Jon? |
01:31:48 |
No. |
01:31:50 |
Well, listen... |
01:31:53 |
...why don't you come stay with me? |
01:31:56 |
Oh, no. |
01:31:59 |
Oh, no. No. |
01:32:04 |
I wouldn't have to worry about you |
01:32:10 |
Okay. |
01:32:14 |
Rorschach's journal, October 21 st, 1985. |
01:32:20 |
On 43rd and 7th, saw Dreiberg |
01:32:25 |
They didn't know me without my mask. |
01:32:28 |
An affair? |
01:32:30 |
Did she break Manhattan's heart |
01:32:34 |
...make room for Dreiberg? |
01:32:36 |
Does Manhattan even have a heart |
01:32:41 |
The alley was cold, deserted. |
01:32:44 |
My things were where I left them, |
01:32:49 |
My coat, my shoes, my spotless gloves. |
01:32:55 |
My face. |
01:32:57 |
Putting them on, |
01:33:01 |
...became myself. |
01:33:04 |
Free from fear or weakness... |
01:33:07 |
...or lust. |
01:33:09 |
Down alley... |
01:33:11 |
...heard woman scream. |
01:33:14 |
First bubbling note |
01:33:18 |
Attempted rape. |
01:33:20 |
Mugging. |
01:33:21 |
Both. |
01:33:24 |
The man turned... |
01:33:26 |
...and there was something |
01:33:30 |
Sometimes the night is generous to me. |
01:33:39 |
Veidt's assassin was a local lowlife |
01:33:43 |
At his apartment, I found clues. |
01:33:47 |
Seems he worked |
01:33:51 |
I've seen the logo before... |
01:33:54 |
...at Moloch's. |
01:34:26 |
Someone tried to shoot |
01:34:30 |
Guy worked for Pyramid Transnational. |
01:34:33 |
More than a just delivery service, |
01:34:35 |
Last time I was here, I saw a pension check |
01:34:39 |
I'm guessing it's a front set up |
01:34:43 |
Now, no more lies, Moloch. |
01:34:51 |
Rorschach. |
01:34:53 |
This is the police. |
01:34:56 |
No. No! |
01:34:58 |
If there's anybody in there with you, |
01:35:01 |
No. No, no, no! |
01:35:04 |
Framed. Walked right into it. |
01:35:09 |
Never, never surrender. |
01:35:10 |
All right. |
01:35:14 |
When you are. |
01:35:37 |
One... |
01:35:43 |
...two... |
01:35:48 |
...three. |
01:36:42 |
Come on. |
01:36:54 |
Son of a bitch. |
01:36:57 |
- Christ, he stinks. |
01:36:59 |
- I got it. |
01:37:02 |
My face! Give me back my face! |
01:37:06 |
The masked vigilante Rorschach |
01:37:08 |
...and identified |
01:37:12 |
Little's known about Kovacs, |
01:37:16 |
...of Edgar Jacobi, found shot in the head |
01:37:20 |
Police officers were injured |
01:37:23 |
...during the violent course |
01:37:29 |
Rorschach! |
01:37:31 |
I'm gonna fuck you |
01:37:41 |
Come on out, Rorschach! |
01:37:44 |
Walter Kovacs. |
01:37:47 |
Is that your name? Walter? |
01:37:50 |
Well, let me explain |
01:37:54 |
You cooperate with me... |
01:37:56 |
...and I may be able to convince them |
01:38:00 |
In a hospital. I believe |
01:38:04 |
But the authorities wanna put you |
01:38:11 |
- Prison's a prison. |
01:38:15 |
But the difference is, down there... |
01:38:19 |
...you'd be eaten alive. |
01:38:21 |
You're responsible for a lot of them |
01:38:28 |
Tell me what you see. |
01:38:35 |
A pretty butterfly. |
01:38:40 |
What about now? What do you see here? |
01:38:47 |
Mom? |
01:38:49 |
Is he hurting you? |
01:38:50 |
You got a fucking kid in here. |
01:38:53 |
Bastard. |
01:39:06 |
Some nice flowers. |
01:39:14 |
I heard this guy's mom's a whore. |
01:39:18 |
Did you catch any diseases from her? |
01:39:22 |
Huh? Whoreson. Listen to me, retard. |
01:39:27 |
Hey, you think she'd suck my dick |
01:39:49 |
Clouds. |
01:39:55 |
Tell me about Rorschach. |
01:39:58 |
You keep calling me Walter. |
01:40:03 |
You don't like me. |
01:40:07 |
You're fat. |
01:40:09 |
Wealthy. Liberal sensibilities. |
01:40:12 |
What you call compassion. |
01:40:14 |
Wanting to protect |
01:40:17 |
This rotting society, |
01:40:21 |
Nothing short of compromise. |
01:40:23 |
Is it a compromise |
01:40:25 |
There are other men in here with behavior |
01:40:30 |
Of course, they're not famous, are they? |
01:40:34 |
You wanna know about Rorschach? |
01:40:38 |
I'll tell you about Rorschach. |
01:40:41 |
Once a man has seen society's |
01:40:43 |
...he can never turn his back on it. |
01:40:46 |
Never pretend, like you do... |
01:40:49 |
...that it doesn't exist, no matter |
01:40:54 |
We don't do this thing... |
01:40:57 |
...because it's permitted. |
01:41:00 |
We do it because we have to. |
01:41:03 |
We do it because we're compelled. |
01:41:07 |
I was investigating a kidnap case. |
01:41:12 |
Blaire Roche. |
01:41:14 |
Six-year-old girl. I was young then. |
01:41:18 |
Too soft on criminals. |
01:41:21 |
I let them live. |
01:41:24 |
Broke a man's arm to get a tip. |
01:41:38 |
I knew the girl was here... |
01:41:40 |
...but when I searched the place, |
01:41:45 |
And then I found her. |
01:42:36 |
Fred. |
01:42:39 |
Barney. |
01:42:41 |
Who's gonna bark for Daddy? |
01:42:49 |
It was dark when the murderer got back. |
01:42:54 |
As dark as it gets. |
01:43:34 |
Oh, God. |
01:43:41 |
Who is it? |
01:43:53 |
What? What the fuck? |
01:43:57 |
What the fuck do you want? |
01:44:06 |
You think I had something to do |
01:44:11 |
What evidence have you got? |
01:44:21 |
Okay. I confess. |
01:44:25 |
I kidnapped her. I killed her. |
01:44:29 |
Arrest me. |
01:44:31 |
What? Arrest me! |
01:44:34 |
I did it! I said I did it! |
01:44:36 |
Christ. |
01:44:38 |
Look, I've got a problem, man. |
01:44:43 |
No, don't. Don't do that. |
01:44:55 |
Men get arrested. |
01:45:00 |
Dogs get put down. |
01:45:10 |
Tremors of impact shook my arm. |
01:45:13 |
Warm blood splashed my face. |
01:45:17 |
Whatever was left of Walter Kovacs |
01:45:22 |
From then on, there was only Rorschach. |
01:45:26 |
See, doctor, |
01:45:29 |
Fate didn't butcher her |
01:45:34 |
If God saw what any of us did that night, |
01:45:40 |
From then on, I knew: |
01:45:43 |
God doesn't make the world this way. |
01:45:47 |
We do. |
01:45:55 |
I can't help him. |
01:46:10 |
Hey, Rorschach. |
01:46:12 |
Hey, you're pretty famous, right? |
01:46:15 |
Rorschach, I heard your mother |
01:46:18 |
Hey, you know what? |
01:46:21 |
- Ain't that right? That's right. |
01:46:25 |
Maybe I can give you an autograph. |
01:46:44 |
None of you seem to understand. |
01:46:47 |
All right, that's it! |
01:46:50 |
You're locked in here with me. |
01:48:11 |
Laurie! |
01:48:14 |
Shit. |
01:48:16 |
- Hold on. |
01:48:21 |
I got it, I got it, I got it. |
01:48:27 |
I'm so sorry. I was snooping |
01:48:31 |
- Are you hurt? |
01:48:33 |
- Okay. |
01:48:36 |
No, don't worry. |
01:48:38 |
It's happened before. |
01:48:42 |
Archie survived that. |
01:48:45 |
Archie? |
01:48:47 |
Oh. Well, uh, short for Archimedes... |
01:48:50 |
...Merlin's pet owl. |
01:48:53 |
Stupid nickname. |
01:48:56 |
How did you ever afford |
01:48:59 |
Well, my dad was in corporate banking |
01:49:05 |
...which always surprised me. |
01:49:09 |
I think he was disappointed |
01:49:12 |
...instead of following him. |
01:49:14 |
Guess I was just more interested in |
01:49:22 |
Plus, there were enough other guys |
01:49:26 |
Like Hollis. |
01:49:28 |
Yeah. |
01:49:30 |
Yeah, he was my hero. |
01:49:34 |
Man, I remember the first time |
01:49:38 |
...I just felt so connected, you know? |
01:49:41 |
To something that mattered. |
01:49:47 |
Must be nice having a secret identity. |
01:49:50 |
A secret place that nobody knows about. |
01:49:52 |
You can just come down here and hang out |
01:49:59 |
Nobody watching you. |
01:50:04 |
Wanna try those on? |
01:50:16 |
There we go. |
01:50:21 |
Wow, these rock. |
01:50:26 |
They amplify the spectral range. |
01:50:28 |
Thermal imaging. |
01:50:32 |
They work even better in the dark. |
01:50:39 |
You can see me, right? |
01:50:43 |
I can see everything. |
01:50:48 |
I remember, no matter how black it got... |
01:50:52 |
...whenever I looked through those goggles, |
01:50:59 |
This must be the way Jon sees the world. |
01:51:03 |
We should probably head up. |
01:51:07 |
Put those away when you're done. |
01:51:18 |
Soviet ambassador |
01:51:20 |
...when asked if Dr. Manhattan's |
01:51:23 |
...has fueled Soviet aggression |
01:51:25 |
Dan. |
01:51:28 |
Jon sees a lot of things... |
01:51:32 |
...but he doesn't see me. |
01:51:41 |
Well, uh... |
01:52:01 |
Oh. |
01:52:36 |
Sorry. |
01:52:40 |
Come here. |
01:52:47 |
What's the matter? |
01:52:48 |
- If you could just move a little... |
01:52:51 |
Yeah. There you go. |
01:53:00 |
Dan, what's wrong? |
01:53:04 |
Sorry, I... |
01:53:07 |
Yeah, I just need a couple minutes. |
01:53:12 |
Oh, hell. |
01:53:15 |
It's okay. |
01:53:19 |
Maybe we were just moving too fast. |
01:53:27 |
We've got all the time in the world. |
01:53:31 |
We'll take it slow. |
01:53:47 |
It's been a long time, Rorschach. |
01:53:50 |
Big Figure. |
01:53:52 |
Small world. |
01:53:55 |
I like that. |
01:53:57 |
But you know, it is a small world in here. |
01:54:00 |
And I've been in it for, |
01:54:03 |
Almost 15 years, Mr. Figure. |
01:54:05 |
That's right. |
01:54:08 |
Fifteen years since you |
01:54:14 |
So... |
01:54:16 |
...Rorschach, that guy you burned is dying. |
01:54:21 |
You know, by my count, there are more |
01:54:26 |
I been talking to every one of them |
01:54:31 |
This place is gonna explode! |
01:54:35 |
Then, you die by inches. |
01:54:39 |
Tall order. |
01:54:41 |
I'm gonna tear this guy a new hole. |
01:54:44 |
Relax, Lawrence. Soon. |
01:54:48 |
Come on. |
01:56:18 |
Dan? |
01:56:26 |
Is everything all right? |
01:56:30 |
I'm tired of being afraid. |
01:56:34 |
Afraid of war... |
01:56:37 |
...afraid of the mask killer... |
01:56:42 |
...and afraid of this goddamn suit... |
01:56:46 |
...and how much I need it. |
01:56:48 |
Me too. |
01:56:52 |
So to hell with it. |
01:56:54 |
Let's take Archie out. |
01:57:01 |
You're serious. |
01:57:02 |
I used to be a masked avenger too, |
01:57:05 |
I'm used to going out at 3 in the morning |
01:58:10 |
Rapid burner. Be advised, all units. |
01:58:12 |
Tenement fire at 5th and Grand. |
01:58:15 |
Let's go. |
01:58:21 |
I can see it. |
01:58:34 |
Dan, there are kids in there. |
01:58:36 |
Everyone, stay where you are |
01:58:38 |
We're gonna get you out of there. |
01:58:41 |
The roof's starting to cave. |
01:58:43 |
I'm gonna get you close. |
01:59:43 |
Let's go. |
01:59:45 |
Come on. |
01:59:46 |
All right, let's move it, people. |
01:59:54 |
Mom, is that guy in the space rocket...? |
02:00:00 |
Is that Jesus? |
02:00:02 |
No, baby. |
02:00:05 |
Watch your step. |
02:00:09 |
We're all set. |
02:00:11 |
Is that everyone? |
02:00:37 |
Bye. |
02:00:43 |
I can't believe we did that. |
02:00:47 |
- They'll lock us up with Rorschach. |
02:00:49 |
World War llI could start tomorrow. |
02:00:53 |
Right? |
02:00:56 |
Right. |
02:03:23 |
Come back here! |
02:03:27 |
He's dead, Rorschach. |
02:03:29 |
While everyone's distracted, we thought |
02:03:33 |
Something from the machine shop. |
02:03:37 |
Hey, boss, you notice? |
02:03:39 |
None of that " small world, |
02:03:42 |
He knows once we slice open his lock, |
02:03:46 |
Fat chance. |
02:03:48 |
You're dead, Rorschach! |
02:03:49 |
We got a prison full of killers out here. |
02:03:56 |
Your hands, my pleasure. |
02:04:00 |
Can't reach the lock. Should I cut the bars? |
02:04:02 |
This riot won't last. |
02:04:07 |
I'm sorry, Lawrence, but you're in the way |
02:04:14 |
Nothing personal, big guy. |
02:04:17 |
Boss! Wait! |
02:04:33 |
Now you find out what the score is. |
02:04:35 |
One-nothing. Come and get me. |
02:04:45 |
Come on. |
02:04:46 |
So I've been thinking. |
02:04:49 |
I feel that we have an obligation |
02:04:54 |
- I think we ought to spring Rorschach. |
02:04:57 |
Someone set him up. |
02:05:00 |
And this whole cancer thing with Jon, |
02:05:04 |
You didn't get it. |
02:05:06 |
Yeah, but breaking |
02:05:08 |
- ... is a little different than putting |
02:05:13 |
It'll be more fun. |
02:05:19 |
Hurry, Lloyd. I wanna |
02:05:27 |
Yes. |
02:05:34 |
No. |
02:05:49 |
Never disposed of sewage |
02:05:54 |
Two-nothing. Your move. |
02:06:01 |
Get out of the way! |
02:06:47 |
No. No. |
02:06:49 |
Where's my face? |
02:06:53 |
Don't kill me. |
02:06:58 |
Your turn, doctor. |
02:07:00 |
Tell me, what do you see? |
02:08:29 |
Don't move! |
02:08:39 |
Rorschach. |
02:08:41 |
Daniel. Miss Jupiter. |
02:08:44 |
Excuse me. Have to visit men's room. |
02:08:48 |
Oh, for chrissake. |
02:09:27 |
Good to see you in uniform, Daniel. |
02:09:30 |
Should've known all you needed |
02:09:34 |
- You're such an asshole, Rorschach. |
02:09:39 |
Picked hell of a time |
02:09:42 |
Get tired of being patriotic, |
02:09:45 |
You don't know what the fuck |
02:09:48 |
Hey! Would you two stop? |
02:09:52 |
I had to turn the screechers off, |
02:10:00 |
Stop! Stop or we will shoot! |
02:10:41 |
Are you all right? |
02:10:44 |
Yeah. Just... |
02:10:47 |
...heavy, you know? |
02:10:49 |
War, jailbreak. |
02:10:52 |
Don't worry about it. Okay? |
02:11:02 |
- Hello, Laurie. |
02:11:05 |
- TV said you were on Mars. |
02:11:09 |
You and I are about |
02:11:12 |
What are you talking about? |
02:11:13 |
You're going to try to convince me |
02:11:22 |
- Laurie, don't. |
02:11:25 |
I have to go. |
02:11:32 |
Beautiful, isn't it? |
02:11:39 |
Forgive me. These things sometimes |
02:11:43 |
It won't happen again. |
02:11:47 |
That's comforting. |
02:11:51 |
Oh, my God. |
02:11:54 |
I'm on Mars. |
02:12:00 |
Hey. Nice ass. |
02:12:04 |
Hey, let's see if that comic-book |
02:12:07 |
Hey, hey, hey. Yo. |
02:12:09 |
You all hear? Some super-owl dude |
02:12:14 |
- Rorschach? |
02:12:16 |
That fool put my cousin in a wheelchair. |
02:12:18 |
You mean Nite Owl. |
02:12:21 |
- Yeah. |
02:12:24 |
- Didn't he write a book or something? |
02:12:27 |
You know, he lives over a garage |
02:12:30 |
- Yeah? |
02:12:36 |
Hello? |
02:12:38 |
Sally? |
02:12:40 |
- Hollis? |
02:12:43 |
Yes, Hollis Mason. Jesus. |
02:12:48 |
All this time you've had my number and |
02:12:53 |
Well, it seemed like |
02:12:56 |
What? |
02:12:57 |
The TV is reporting there was |
02:13:02 |
There were trapped people |
02:13:06 |
...and they say the pilot |
02:13:11 |
And it seems he had |
02:13:13 |
Laurie? My daughter, Laurie? |
02:13:17 |
I can't get over Laurie back in costume. |
02:13:21 |
Maybe she'll finally thank me |
02:13:24 |
You know, Sal, |
02:13:28 |
...you're sounding younger than ever. |
02:13:30 |
Oh. Why, bless you, Hollis. |
02:13:33 |
But that's probably just senility. |
02:13:38 |
Well, it's been great talking to you, Sal... |
02:13:41 |
...but someone's knocking. |
02:13:44 |
Well, don't get too misty-eyed |
02:13:50 |
You take care now, Hollis. |
02:13:52 |
Ah, you too. |
02:13:53 |
Bye. |
02:13:55 |
Bye. |
02:14:00 |
We're looking for Mr. Owl. |
02:14:03 |
Yeah. Hold your horses. |
02:14:05 |
Mr. Owl, you there? |
02:14:07 |
Trick or treat. |
02:14:10 |
You should've stayed retired, Owl. |
02:15:17 |
I hate this. |
02:15:19 |
Cowering in cave, |
02:15:23 |
Cops are out there hunting us. |
02:15:27 |
...we'd be stupid to expose ourselves |
02:15:29 |
And what would that be? |
02:15:32 |
Once we've established a pattern... |
02:15:36 |
...we can break into Pyramid, |
02:15:38 |
Did that. Dead end. |
02:15:41 |
I think it's a front company for whoever's |
02:15:49 |
We need to hit up underworld contacts, |
02:15:52 |
Sure, why don't we just pick names |
02:15:56 |
You forgot how we do things, Daniel. |
02:15:58 |
You've gone too soft. Too trusting. |
02:16:03 |
Okay, no. Listen, I've had it with that. |
02:16:05 |
God, who do you |
02:16:07 |
You live off people |
02:16:10 |
...and no one complains because they think |
02:16:25 |
I'm sorry. |
02:16:30 |
I shouldn't have said that, man. |
02:16:34 |
Daniel... |
02:16:37 |
...you are a good friend. |
02:16:42 |
I know it can be difficult |
02:16:52 |
Forget it. |
02:16:55 |
It's okay, man. |
02:16:58 |
Let's do it your way. |
02:17:18 |
Oh, God. |
02:17:20 |
Pyramid Transnational. |
02:17:32 |
Oh, you bastards. |
02:17:33 |
I buy everyone a round |
02:17:38 |
Back off, or I'll stick this glass |
02:17:43 |
Everybody stay calm. |
02:17:48 |
Roy Chess. On Pyramid payroll. |
02:17:50 |
Tried to kill Adrian Veidt. Dead now. |
02:17:55 |
No. |
02:17:58 |
Yeah, yeah! |
02:17:59 |
- I hired him. I knew him from the inside. |
02:18:02 |
I was. I've been straight |
02:18:05 |
I barely knew Chess that well, |
02:18:09 |
- Told by whom? |
02:18:13 |
Janey Slater works for Pyramid too? |
02:18:16 |
Yeah, she was real nice. She said hiring |
02:18:20 |
Give people a second chance. |
02:18:28 |
Janey Slater, Manhattan's old girlfriend. |
02:18:31 |
Adrian might help us |
02:18:34 |
Follow the money. |
02:18:35 |
Fformer member of the Minutemen |
02:18:39 |
...in his apartment less than |
02:18:41 |
Witnesses reported seeing members |
02:18:45 |
...leaving the area right around |
02:18:49 |
Reporting live, Tiffany Burns... |
02:18:54 |
- Who did it? |
02:18:57 |
What about my civil rights? |
02:19:00 |
- Tell me who did it! |
02:19:04 |
Who murdered Hollis Mason? |
02:19:12 |
You tell your friends they're dead. |
02:19:14 |
I'm gonna take out this entire |
02:19:18 |
I'll break your neck! |
02:19:21 |
Daniel, not in front of the civilians. |
02:19:24 |
Oh, goddamn. Goddamn, Hollis. |
02:19:37 |
This is where we hold our conversation. |
02:19:41 |
In it, you reveal to me that you and |
02:19:46 |
- You know about me and Dan? |
02:19:50 |
But in a few moments |
02:19:55 |
If you already know the future, then why |
02:20:00 |
Or when that reporter ambushed you? |
02:20:03 |
Why even argue about it |
02:20:07 |
I have no choice. |
02:20:11 |
Everything is preordained. |
02:20:14 |
Even my responses. |
02:20:17 |
And you're just going through |
02:20:21 |
The most powerful thing in the universe |
02:20:28 |
We are all puppets, Laurie. |
02:20:31 |
I'm just a puppet |
02:20:34 |
And what if you're wrong? |
02:20:36 |
Why does my perception of time |
02:20:40 |
Because it's inhuman. |
02:20:43 |
Because it makes me insane. |
02:20:45 |
You always say you wanna comfort me. |
02:20:56 |
Look, I don't wanna fight. |
02:21:00 |
I'm sorry I slept with Dan. |
02:21:04 |
You slept with Dan? |
02:21:07 |
You just said that you already |
02:21:11 |
I said often... |
02:21:16 |
...that you were my only |
02:21:23 |
Why would I save a world... |
02:21:24 |
...I no longer have any stake in? |
02:21:29 |
Then do it for me. |
02:21:31 |
If you really care. |
02:21:33 |
When you left me, I left Earth. |
02:21:36 |
Does that not show you that I care? |
02:21:43 |
My red world here, now... |
02:21:47 |
...means more to me than your blue one. |
02:21:50 |
Let me show you. |
02:22:10 |
Bombers are fueled and ready, sir. |
02:22:22 |
It's time, gentlemen. |
02:22:27 |
Take us to DEFCON one. |
02:22:36 |
Not in penthouse. Not in office. |
02:22:40 |
What nocturnal proclivities |
02:22:43 |
...out into the night at this hour? |
02:22:47 |
Daniel? |
02:22:50 |
You with me? |
02:22:52 |
- Yeah. |
02:22:58 |
I'm gonna look for Adrian's itinerary. |
02:23:00 |
Maybe he keeps on file. |
02:23:07 |
- Something's not right. |
02:23:09 |
Janey Slater, Moloch, Roy Chess |
02:23:14 |
Moloch said the Comedian mentioned list |
02:23:19 |
Whoever owns Pyramid |
02:23:23 |
Setting Manhattan up. |
02:23:39 |
Funny. |
02:23:41 |
Ancient pharaohs looked forward |
02:23:44 |
Believed cadavers would rise, |
02:23:50 |
Must currently be holding breath |
02:23:53 |
Pharaohs? |
02:24:01 |
Got a psych profile on Manhattan. |
02:24:03 |
See what the corporate head-peepers say. |
02:24:08 |
" Subject continues |
02:24:13 |
If the only remaining ties |
02:24:17 |
...we predict total detachment |
02:24:25 |
I'm in. |
02:24:55 |
No. |
02:24:59 |
Congratulations, Mr. Veidt. |
02:25:05 |
Your support and your enthusiasm... |
02:25:08 |
...is what has led to this triumph. |
02:25:11 |
On behalf of the research team, |
02:25:15 |
- Cheers. |
02:25:19 |
What in life |
02:25:24 |
This is the new Karnak. |
02:25:28 |
This represents the culmination of a dream |
02:25:32 |
...a dream now assured |
02:25:40 |
And for this... |
02:25:43 |
...I am ashamed... |
02:25:46 |
...ashamed that you must now share |
02:25:52 |
To the pharaohs... |
02:25:55 |
...their greatest secrets |
02:25:59 |
...buried alive with them |
02:26:04 |
Sleep well, gentlemen. |
02:26:07 |
Our new, peaceful world |
02:26:11 |
...to your great sacrifice. |
02:26:14 |
Bubastis. |
02:26:21 |
Rorschach's journal. Final entry. |
02:26:24 |
Veidt's behind everything. |
02:26:27 |
Why? |
02:26:28 |
What's his endgame? |
02:26:31 |
I cannot imagine |
02:26:34 |
Used to joke he was fast enough |
02:26:38 |
He could kill us both alone in the snow. |
02:26:42 |
That's where we're going now: |
02:26:45 |
Whether I'm alive or dead |
02:26:48 |
...I hope the world survives long |
02:26:52 |
I live my life free of compromise... |
02:26:55 |
...and step into the shadow |
02:27:00 |
Rorschach, November 1 st. |
02:27:03 |
Can't you just tell me how |
02:27:07 |
It ends with you in tears. |
02:27:09 |
Tears? So you don't come back to Earth. |
02:27:13 |
At some point, yes. |
02:27:18 |
The streets are filled with death. |
02:27:21 |
Jon, please. |
02:27:23 |
You have to stop this. Everyone will die. |
02:27:28 |
And the universe will not even notice. |
02:27:34 |
In my opinion, the existence of life... |
02:27:40 |
...is a highly overrated phenomenon. |
02:27:44 |
Just look around you. |
02:27:50 |
Mars gets along perfectly well |
02:27:54 |
Here, it's a constantly changing |
02:27:59 |
...flowing and shifting around the pole |
02:28:06 |
So tell me... |
02:28:08 |
...how would all of this be greatly improved |
02:28:13 |
By a shopping mall? |
02:28:19 |
So it's too much to ask for a miracle? |
02:28:23 |
Miracles, by their definition, |
02:28:26 |
Oh, God, Jon! |
02:28:27 |
- Only what can happen does happen. |
02:28:33 |
Land this thing. Now. |
02:28:36 |
As you wish. |
02:28:44 |
You know what? |
02:28:46 |
You can send me back to Earth |
02:28:48 |
...and all the other worthless humans. |
02:28:51 |
But know that you were wrong. |
02:28:55 |
...and look: Nothing. |
02:28:59 |
You complain that I refuse to see life |
02:29:05 |
...yet you continuously refuse |
02:29:09 |
- You shut out what you're afraid of. |
02:29:13 |
You want me to see things your way? Go |
02:29:26 |
Magic. Dreams. That is what I had before. |
02:29:30 |
It's not my fault you got old. |
02:29:34 |
I put food on the table |
02:29:36 |
Call your friend Eddie. |
02:29:40 |
Even the grimy parts of it... |
02:29:43 |
...keep on getting brighter. |
02:29:46 |
You know, your mom, she was one |
02:29:50 |
- You got her eyes, you know. You got- |
02:29:54 |
Hey, doll. Long time no see. |
02:29:56 |
Not long enough in my book, Eddie. |
02:30:00 |
Now. |
02:30:02 |
Are there no depths you won't sink to? |
02:30:05 |
Jesus Christ, Sally. |
02:30:09 |
...you know, old friend's daughter? |
02:30:13 |
Drive. |
02:30:20 |
It was a mistake. One time. |
02:30:24 |
Guy tries to rape you, and years later, |
02:30:27 |
What? Were you drunk or just lonely? |
02:30:30 |
Am I ever gonna live this down? |
02:30:36 |
Laurie. |
02:30:42 |
No. |
02:30:45 |
No, not him. |
02:30:48 |
The Comedian... |
02:30:50 |
...was your father. |
02:30:54 |
No. |
02:30:59 |
No! No! No! |
02:31:37 |
My life is just... |
02:31:40 |
...one big joke. |
02:31:42 |
I don't think your life is a joke. |
02:31:47 |
Yeah, well... |
02:31:50 |
...I'm sorry if I don't |
02:32:03 |
Will you smile... |
02:32:06 |
...if I admit I was wrong? |
02:32:12 |
About what? |
02:32:16 |
Miracles. |
02:32:19 |
Events with astronomical odds |
02:32:23 |
...like oxygen turning into gold. |
02:32:25 |
I've longed to witness such an event, |
02:32:31 |
...that in human coupling... |
02:32:34 |
...millions upon millions of cells |
02:32:38 |
...for generation after generation... |
02:32:42 |
...until finally, your mother... |
02:32:46 |
...loves a man... |
02:32:47 |
...Edward Blake, the Comedian, |
02:32:51 |
...and out of that contradiction, |
02:32:56 |
...it's you- |
02:32:59 |
Only... |
02:33:01 |
...you. |
02:33:04 |
That emerged. |
02:33:06 |
To distill so specific a form... |
02:33:10 |
...from all that chaos... |
02:33:14 |
...is like turning air into gold. |
02:33:22 |
A miracle. |
02:33:27 |
And so... |
02:33:29 |
...I was wrong. |
02:33:33 |
Now dry your eyes, and let's go home. |
02:34:04 |
We got a bearing on that artificial |
02:34:09 |
- Veidt. |
02:34:21 |
- The engines. |
02:34:25 |
Daniel, you're coming in too low. |
02:34:29 |
Don't wish to interfere, |
02:34:33 |
I know! I'm trying. |
02:35:04 |
I'm gonna redirect the heat from |
02:35:08 |
...but it's gonna take a while |
02:35:12 |
You need something warmer. |
02:35:14 |
Fine like this. |
02:35:46 |
What is it, girl? |
02:35:50 |
Mm. |
02:36:17 |
Adrian's a pacifist. |
02:36:20 |
He's a vegetarian, for chrissakes. |
02:36:25 |
Hitler was vegetarian. |
02:36:26 |
You're squeamish, leave him to me. |
02:37:42 |
Gentlemen. |
02:37:44 |
- Welcome. |
02:37:48 |
Then what's there to discuss, Dan? |
02:37:50 |
Plenty. You killed Comedian. |
02:37:53 |
May he rest in peace. |
02:37:55 |
Blake figured it out first. |
02:37:58 |
Nixon had him keeping tabs on us, |
02:38:03 |
Blake found out what I was doing |
02:38:05 |
...and by the time he visited poor Moloch, |
02:38:09 |
Even I couldn't predict he'd be the one |
02:38:13 |
So... |
02:38:16 |
...I had to kill him. |
02:38:19 |
Then I neutralized Jon. No easy task. |
02:38:22 |
I put roughly $2 billion |
02:38:25 |
...to block Jon's vision of the future. |
02:38:27 |
You used his psych profile |
02:38:30 |
Got him to leave the planet. |
02:38:32 |
I've known Jon long enough |
02:38:35 |
His subtle facial twitches wouldn't |
02:38:39 |
...he might as well have been sobbing. |
02:38:42 |
All I needed to do was tug on the thread. |
02:38:45 |
The sudden flood of emotion Jon felt... |
02:38:47 |
...when he came to believe |
02:38:51 |
...was all the excuse he needed |
02:38:53 |
Your bullshit assassin. |
02:38:57 |
Mr. Chess gave his life |
02:39:04 |
I put a cyanide capsule in his mouth... |
02:39:07 |
...leaving only one loose end: |
02:39:10 |
You, and your mask-killer theory... |
02:39:14 |
...one you followed |
02:39:17 |
I tipped off the police. |
02:39:19 |
Once you were in prison, |
02:39:22 |
Sorry to disappoint you. |
02:39:37 |
We were supposed to make the world |
02:39:40 |
Dan, that's exactly what I am doing. |
02:39:42 |
Nuclear war? |
02:39:44 |
Human extinction? |
02:39:55 |
Of course, my moral safeguards |
02:40:00 |
A few key regions around the globe- |
02:40:04 |
New York, Los Angeles, Moscow, |
02:40:09 |
Disintegrated in an instant. |
02:40:12 |
Fifteen million people killed... |
02:40:14 |
...by Dr. Manhattan himself. |
02:40:18 |
The world's punishment |
02:40:21 |
Jon wouldn't do that. |
02:40:23 |
A fact no one outside this room |
02:40:26 |
The energy breakthrough I was working on |
02:40:31 |
All these years, Jon was helping me |
02:40:35 |
...unaware of how I planned to use it. |
02:40:38 |
You see... |
02:40:41 |
...the Comedian was right. |
02:40:44 |
Humanity's savage nature |
02:40:49 |
So in order to save this planet... |
02:40:52 |
...I had to trick it... |
02:40:54 |
...with the greatest practical joke |
02:40:59 |
- Killing millions. |
02:41:03 |
A necessary crime. |
02:41:05 |
You know we can't let you do that. |
02:41:08 |
" Do that," Rorschach? |
02:41:11 |
I'm not a comic-book villain. |
02:41:13 |
Do you think |
02:41:15 |
...if there were even the slightest |
02:41:22 |
I triggered it 35 minutes ago. |
02:43:05 |
Jesus Christ, Henry. |
02:43:08 |
Why the hell |
02:43:12 |
It's not the Soviets, sir. |
02:43:17 |
Intel indicates the energy signature... |
02:43:20 |
...was generated by... |
02:43:24 |
...Dr. Manhattan. |
02:43:29 |
Jon. |
02:43:34 |
Interference. |
02:43:35 |
Cataclysmic interference. |
02:43:47 |
I can't believe it happened. |
02:43:51 |
This wasn't caused by nuclear warheads. |
02:43:58 |
It was me. |
02:44:02 |
I... |
02:44:04 |
...did this. |
02:44:05 |
- What do you mean, you did this? |
02:44:10 |
It was made to look like I did it. |
02:44:16 |
Adrian. |
02:44:23 |
Speak of the devil. |
02:44:28 |
Jon- |
02:44:30 |
Must stop him. |
02:44:32 |
Wait here. |
02:44:44 |
Adrian, stop this. |
02:44:48 |
The tachyons were clever... |
02:44:51 |
...but even if I can't predict where |
02:44:57 |
I should thank you. |
02:45:01 |
I'd almost forgotten the excitement |
02:45:05 |
...the delights of uncertainty. |
02:45:12 |
Forgive me, girl. |
02:45:37 |
You're such an asshole. |
02:46:12 |
Veidt, you bastard. |
02:46:14 |
- Lf you've hurt her, I'Il- |
02:46:19 |
...grow up. My new world |
02:46:23 |
Your... |
02:46:25 |
...schoolboy heroics are redundant. |
02:46:32 |
Failing to prevent Earth's salvation... |
02:46:36 |
...is your only triumph. |
02:46:38 |
I'm disappointed in you, Adrian. |
02:46:41 |
I'm very disappointed. |
02:46:57 |
Reassembling myself |
02:47:01 |
It didn't kill Osterman. |
02:47:06 |
Did you really think it would kill me? |
02:47:10 |
I have walked across the surface |
02:47:13 |
I have witnessed events |
02:47:17 |
...they can hardly be said |
02:47:20 |
...but you, Adrian, you're just a man. |
02:47:25 |
The world's smartest man... |
02:47:27 |
...poses no more threat to me... |
02:47:30 |
...than does its smartest termite. |
02:47:35 |
What's that? |
02:47:37 |
Another ultimate weapon? |
02:47:40 |
Yes. |
02:47:43 |
You could say that. |
02:47:48 |
Came under attack. |
02:47:51 |
Millions of lives were suddenly ended... |
02:47:55 |
...in an act of evil |
02:48:02 |
Since the attacks, |
02:48:06 |
...with the premier of the U.S.S.R. |
02:48:09 |
Putting aside our past differences... |
02:48:12 |
...we have both pledged to unite... |
02:48:15 |
...against this common enemy. |
02:48:19 |
With the rest of the world... |
02:48:21 |
...we will prevail. |
02:48:26 |
This is a day we shall never forget. |
02:48:29 |
And yet we go forward |
02:48:33 |
...and all that is good |
02:48:39 |
Thank you. God bless us all. |
02:48:44 |
Do you see? |
02:48:48 |
Two superpowers retreating from war. |
02:48:52 |
I've saved the earth from hell. |
02:48:54 |
We both have. |
02:48:57 |
This is as much your victory as it is mine. |
02:49:04 |
Now we can return... |
02:49:07 |
...do what we were meant to. |
02:49:09 |
We were meant to exact justice. |
02:49:12 |
- Everyone's gonna know what you've done. |
02:49:15 |
By exposing me, you would sacrifice |
02:49:20 |
- Peace based on a lie. |
02:49:24 |
- ... nonetheless. |
02:49:27 |
Exposing Adrian would only doom the world |
02:49:31 |
No. We can't do this. |
02:49:34 |
On Mars... |
02:49:37 |
...you taught me the value of life. |
02:49:40 |
If we hope to preserve it here... |
02:49:43 |
...we must remain silent. |
02:49:49 |
Keep your own secrets. |
02:49:58 |
Don't even think about it. |
02:50:02 |
Rorschach. |
02:50:05 |
Wait. |
02:50:08 |
Never compromise. |
02:50:10 |
Not even in the face of armageddon. |
02:50:13 |
That's always been the difference |
02:50:27 |
I've made myself feel every death... |
02:50:32 |
...see every innocent face |
02:50:44 |
- You understand, don't you? |
02:50:49 |
...or condemning... |
02:50:56 |
...I understand. |
02:51:05 |
Out of my way. People have to be told. |
02:51:09 |
You know I can't let you do that. |
02:51:12 |
Suddenly you discover humanity? |
02:51:17 |
Convenient. |
02:51:27 |
If you'd cared from the start, |
02:51:35 |
I can change almost anything... |
02:51:43 |
...but I can't change human nature. |
02:51:47 |
Of course |
02:51:51 |
What's one more body |
02:52:01 |
Well, what are you waiting for? |
02:52:06 |
Do it. |
02:52:14 |
Do it! |
02:52:18 |
No! |
02:52:39 |
I'm leaving this galaxy |
02:52:43 |
I thought you said you cared |
02:52:47 |
I do. |
02:52:50 |
I think maybe I'll create some. |
02:52:57 |
Goodbye, Laurie. |
02:53:35 |
Come on. |
02:53:38 |
Come on! |
02:53:44 |
Dan... |
02:53:46 |
...a world united and at peace. |
02:53:50 |
There had to be sacrifice. |
02:53:51 |
No! You haven't idealized mankind, |
02:53:56 |
You've mutilated it. |
02:53:58 |
That's your legacy. |
02:54:09 |
That's the real practical joke. |
02:55:04 |
We repeat, there is |
02:55:08 |
You are about to participate |
02:55:12 |
You are about to experience |
02:55:15 |
...which reaches from the inner mind |
02:55:22 |
Sure you don't want a drink? |
02:55:25 |
I'm okay. |
02:55:27 |
Cheers. |
02:55:30 |
There's something I need |
02:55:34 |
I know that Eddie Blake was my father. |
02:55:40 |
Laurel. |
02:55:43 |
What you must think of me. |
02:55:46 |
I'm sorry I never told you. |
02:55:49 |
I should have... |
02:55:51 |
...but I don't know, I just felt ashamed. |
02:55:55 |
It doesn't matter. |
02:55:58 |
People's lives take them strange places. |
02:56:03 |
...and, well, |
02:56:07 |
I know how that is... |
02:56:10 |
...but I just want you to know... |
02:56:13 |
...that you never did anything wrong |
02:56:20 |
You asked me why I wasn't mad at him. |
02:56:26 |
Because he gave me you. |
02:56:33 |
Thanks, Mom. |
02:56:37 |
I love you. |

- Hello, Miss Jupiter. |
02:56:52 |
Excuse me. Gotta go freshen up. |
02:57:07 |
- So how's it going up here? |
02:57:12 |
Good. I think I've got everything working. |
02:57:15 |
All of Archie's systems are upgraded. |
02:57:20 |
...so all we gotta do is take her out. |
02:57:23 |
Well, that sounds like a date. |
02:57:37 |
Are we gonna be all right? |
02:57:41 |
Long as people think Jon's |
02:57:46 |
...in the end. |
02:57:49 |
I know what Jon would say: |
02:57:52 |
Nothing ends. |
02:57:55 |
Nothing ever ends. |
02:58:45 |
Seymour, we got nothing |
02:58:49 |
Everyone in the country... |
02:58:51 |
...every country in the world |
02:58:53 |
...and singing songs |
02:58:57 |
It's like living in a goddamn |
02:59:00 |
Well, Ronald Reagan says he's gonna |
02:59:04 |
We could run a piece on that. |
02:59:06 |
Seymour, we don't dignify absurdities |
02:59:10 |
This is still America, damn it. |
02:59:14 |
Okay. I could look for something |
02:59:19 |
Crank file. |
02:59:20 |
Whatever. Take some initiative. |
02:59:23 |
Run whatever you like. |
