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.
02:56:46 - 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.
