He wrote that book. Said some bad things
about the Comedian in it.

perpetrated by Dr. Manhattan himself.
2216
03:13:00,527 --> 03:13:04,488
Since the attacks,
I have been in constant contact...
2217
03:13:04,656 --> 03:13:07,658
...with the premier of the U.S.S.R.
2218
03:13:08,034 --> 03:13:10,869
Putting aside our past differences...
2219
03:13:11,204 --> 03:13:13,372
...we have both pledged to unite...
2220
03:13:13,707 --> 03:13:17,042
...against this common enemy.
2221
03:13:17,544 --> 03:13:19,545
With the rest of the world...
2222
03:13:20,005 --> 03:13:22,006
...we will prevail.
2223
03:13:24,551 --> 03:13:27,553
This is a day we shall never forget.
2224
03:13:27,721 --> 03:13:31,932
And yet we go forward
to defend the human race...
2225
03:13:32,100 --> 03:13:36,729
...and all that is good
and just in our world.
2226
03:13:38,064 --> 03:13:42,318
Thank you. God bless us all.
2227
03:13:42,694 --> 03:13:44,486
ADRIAN:
Do you see?
2228
03:13:46,698 --> 03:13:49,158
Two superpowers retreating from war.
2229
03:13:50,744 --> 03:13:53,203
I've saved the earth from hell.
2230
03:13:53,371 --> 03:13:55,331
We both have.
2231
03:13:55,790 --> 03:13:58,000
This is as much your victory as it is mine.
2232
03:14:02,797 --> 03:14:04,298
Now we can return...
2233
03:14:05,717 --> 03:14:07,301
...do what we were meant to.
2234
03:14:07,552 --> 03:14:10,429
We were meant to exact justice.
2235
03:14:10,764 --> 03:14:14,099
-Everyone's gonna know what you've done.
-Will they?
2236
03:14:14,267 --> 03:14:19,063
By exposing me, you would sacrifice
the peace so many died for today.
2237
03:14:19,230 --> 03:14:22,691
-Peace based on a lie.
-But peace...
2238
03:14:22,859 --> 03:14:25,069
-...nonetheless.
-He's right.
2239
03:14:25,612 --> 03:14:29,573
Exposing Adrian would only doom the world
to nuclear destruction again.
2240
03:14:29,741 --> 03:14:32,618
No. We can't do this.
2241
03:14:32,786 --> 03:14:34,578
On Mars...
2242
03:14:36,081 --> 03:14:37,915
...you taught me the value of life.
2243
03:14:38,875 --> 03:14:41,293
If we hope to preserve it here...
2244
03:14:42,087 --> 03:14:44,129
...we must remain silent.
2245
03:14:47,967 --> 03:14:49,927
Keep your own secrets.
2246
03:14:56,768 --> 03:14:57,976
Don't even think about it.
2247
03:15:00,605 --> 03:15:02,314
Rorschach.
2248
03:15:04,109 --> 03:15:05,609
Wait.
2249
03:15:06,653 --> 03:15:08,779
Never compromise.
2250
03:15:09,114 --> 03:15:11,990
Not even in the face of armageddon.
2251
03:15:12,409 --> 03:15:15,411
That's always been the difference
between us, Daniel.
2252
03:15:26,464 --> 03:15:29,967
I've made myself feel every death...
2253
03:15:31,469 --> 03:15:37,349
...see every innocent face
I've murdered to save humanity.
2254
03:15:42,939 --> 03:15:46,650
-You understand, don't you?
JON: Without condoning...
2255
03:15:48,319 --> 03:15:50,195
...or condemning...
2256
03:15:54,617 --> 03:15:56,535
...I understand.
2257
03:16:03,960 --> 03:16:07,087
Out of my way. People have to be told.
2258
03:16:07,964 --> 03:16:09,882
You know I can't let you do that.
2259
03:16:11,134 --> 03:16:14,136
Suddenly you discover humanity?
2260
03:16:15,555 --> 03:16:17,389
Convenient.
2261
03:16:26,107 --> 03:16:30,694
If you'd cared from the start,
none of this would have happened.
2262
03:16:34,449 --> 03:16:37,409
I can change almost anything...
2263
03:16:41,998 --> 03:16:44,333
...but I can't change human nature.
2264
03:16:45,668 --> 03:16:49,046
Of course
you must protect Veidt's new utopia.
2265
03:16:50,340 --> 03:16:53,675
What's one more body
amongst foundations?
2266
03:16:59,849 --> 03:17:01,725
Well, what are you waiting for?
2267
03:17:05,188 --> 03:17:07,022
Do it.
2268
03:17:13,112 --> 03:17:14,154
Do it!
2269
03:17:16,866 --> 03:17:20,244
No!
2270
03:17:37,720 --> 03:17:43,475
JON: I'm leaving this galaxy
for one a little less complicated.
2271
03:17:43,643 --> 03:17:46,144
LAURIE: I thought you said you cared
about life again.
2272
03:17:46,312 --> 03:17:47,729
JON:
I do.
2273
03:17:49,065 --> 03:17:51,942
I think maybe I'll create some.
2274
03:17:56,072 --> 03:17:58,407
Goodbye, Laurie.

2277
03:18:37,280 --> 03:18:38,864
Come on!
2278

...a world united and at peace.
2280
03:18:48,708 --> 03:18:49,917
There had to be sacrifice.
2281
03:18:50,084 --> 03:18:54,463
No! You haven't idealized mankind,
you've deformed it.
2282
03:18:54,631 --> 03:18:56,381
You've mutilated it.
2283
03:18:56,758 --> 03:18:58,926
That's your legacy.
2284
03:19:07,477 --> 03:19:10,270
That's the real practical joke.
2285
03:20:02,865 --> 03:20:06,868
MAN [ON TV]: We repeat, there is
nothing wrong with your television set.
2286
03:20:07,036 --> 03:20:10,497
You are about to participate
in a great adventure.
2287
03:20:10,665 --> 03:20:13,834
You are about to experience
the awe and mystery...
2288
03:20:14,002 --> 03:20:19,798
...which reaches from the inner mind
to the outer limits.
2289

SALLY:
Sure you don't want a drink?
2290
03:20:24,220 --> 03:20:25,262
I'm okay.
2291
03:20:26,305 --> 03:20:27,556
Cheers.
2292
03:20:28,975 --> 03:20:32,102
There's something I need
to get off my chest.
2293
03:20:33,396 --> 03:20:35,897
I know that Eddie Blake was my father.
2294
03:20:38,901 --> 03:20:40,652

2295
03:20:41,654 --> 03:20:43,989
What you must think of me.
2296
03:20:44,824 --> 03:20:47,367
I'm sorry I never told you.
2297
03:20:47,535 --> 03:20:49,327
I should have...
2298
03:20:49,495 --> 03:20:53,623
...but I don't know, I just felt ashamed.
I felt stupid.
2299
03:20:53,791 --> 03:20:55,751
It doesn't matter.
2300
03:20:56,586 --> 03:21:01,840
People's lives take them strange places.
They do strange things...
2301
03:21:02,425 --> 03:21:05,343
...and, well,
sometimes they can't talk about them.
2302
03:21:05,511 --> 03:21:07,846
I know how that is...
2303
03:21:08,598 --> 03:21:11,183
...but I just want you to know...
2304
03:21:11,768 --> 03:21:14,603
...that you never did anything wrong
by me.
2305
03:21:18,775 --> 03:21:23,028
You asked me why I wasn't mad at him.
2306
03:21:24,614 --> 03:21:27,115
Because he gave me you.
2307
03:21:32,121 --> 03:21:33,205
Thanks, Mom.
2308
03:21:35,958 --> 03:21:37,751
I love you.
2309
03:21:45,301 --> 03:21:49,513
-Hello, Miss Jupiter.
-Oh, Sally, please.
2310
03:21:51,140 --> 03:21:55,727
Excuse me. Gotta go freshen up.
I'll be right back.
2311
03:22:06,239 --> 03:22:10,408
-So how's it going up here?
-Good. How's it going down there?
2312
03:22:10,576 --> 03:22:14,079
Good. I think I've got everything working.
2313
03:22:14,247 --> 03:22:18,875
All of Archie's systems are upgraded.
Finished the tinkering for now...
2314
03:22:19,043 --> 03:22:21,294
...so all we gotta do is take her out.
2315
03:22:21,462 --> 03:22:24,548
Well, that sounds like a date.
2316
03:22:35,852 --> 03:22:38,103
Are we gonna be all right?
2317
03:22:40,189 --> 03:22:44,484
Long as people think Jon's
still watching us, we'll be all right...
2318
03:22:44,694 --> 03:22:46,570
...in the end.
2319
03:22:48,197 --> 03:22:50,365
I know what Jon would say:
2320
03:22:50,533 --> 03:22:52,576
Nothing ends.
2321
03:22:54,453 --> 03:22:57,080
Nothing ever ends.
2322
03:23:44,420 --> 03:23:48,173
Seymour, we got nothing
to write about anymore.
2323
03:23:48,341 --> 03:23:49,716
Everyone in the country...
2324
03:23:49,884 --> 03:23:52,135
...every country in the world
are holding hands...
2325
03:23:52,303 --> 03:23:55,597
...and singing songs
about peace and love.
2326
03:23:56,098 --> 03:23:58,975
It's like living in a goddamn
global hippie commune.
2327
03:23:59,143 --> 03:24:03,063
Well, Ronald Reagan says he's gonna
be running for president in '88.
2328
03:24:03,231 --> 03:24:05,065
We could run a piece on that.
2329
03:24:05,233 --> 03:24:08,401
Seymour, we don't dignify absurdities
with coverage.
2330
03:24:08,569 --> 03:24:12,405
This is still America, damn it.
Who wants a cowboy in the White House?
2331
03:24:13,157 --> 03:24:17,369
Okay. I could look for something
in the crank file.
2332
03:24:17,536 --> 03:24:19,162
Crank file.
2333
03:24:19,330 --> 03:24:21,331
Whatever. Take some initiative.

03:24:21,499 --> 03:24:24,125
