No. We laid out very careful ground rules
No comment.
Did you know he was back on the streets?
I did not. Now get out of my way!
Isn't it true that you
I'll say. If we ever get off this looneytune project, I'm gonna head straight for civilization and buy me a big thick steak.
With lots of ketchup?
Nothing wrong with ketchup.
Jon Osterman, you don't act like a Princeton boy. What's a big lug like you doing in a place like this?
Anything for science, I guess. Janey, there's something
We should get back What?
Nothing. What were you going to say?
We should get back to the lab. You okay, Jon?
Stupid watch. Stopped again. Do you have the
Janey, will you marry me?
I can fix it.
What?
My dad's a watchmaker. I'll put it back together for you. Better than ever.
Hiya, pardner. Long time no see.
Did anybody follow you? See you come here?
Sure. You got some kind of bean juice on it.
Human bean juice. The Comedian is dead.
So do I. So do you.
Rorschach, that was a long time ago. I mean, that that's just paranoia.
Maybe. Or maybe somebody's finally caught up with us. Somebody with a grudge. Thought you might want to spread the word.
Hey. Hey. If you don't mind, use the back stairs, all right?
. . . That was quick.
Toilet clogged. Short fat turd. Let's get out of here.
I don't know if you heard. A hired gunman tried to off Adrian.
Veidt's a fool. Tried to warn him about new information. Sicced his mangy cat on me.
What new information?
Blake investigating missing scientists for CTU. Dr. Manhattan somehow involved . . .
CTU. Could be behind Dr. Manhattan frameup.
What do you mean, frameup?
Obvious pattern all ties in
Are you saying that someone would risk starting World War III just to get back at us? What about all those poor shits with cancer?
How do we know they've got cancer? Could be part of massive propaganda scheme . . .
Come on, Rorschach. Gimme a break
Where's Laurie?
I don't think she's coming with us.
We're running, Rorschach. We've got no place to go. We're hightailing it down to Adrian's.
Veidt's assassin. Leads to follow. Can't just
Cases, leads they don't matter, Rorschach. The world's about to end. If someone is trying to kill us, it doesn't matter.
Coward. Giving up.
SHUT UP, Rorschach.
Sorry, Daniel. You've always been a good friend. I know that. Sorry about Laurie.
Okay, let's just . . . thank you.
What happened?
The guidance system's fried. I had to switch to manual. Some kind of massive electromagnetic shockwave.
What caused it?
Don't know. Nothing I can think of outside of a nuclear blast.
Adrian. What are you doing? Why wouldn't you let us in?
He's the one. He's been the one all along. Stalking us.
Adrian you? You killed Blake, and
. . . And they call me a fucking nut.
Adrian. Its too late. The world is blowing up as we stand here.
Sorry, it's this thing with Blake. I mean, you don't really think anyone's out to get us do you?
Dan, are you really that paranoid? Let's face it, Eddie Blake was no Mother Teresa.
Psychotic pig. He had it coming. Mr. CTU . . .
Now wait. We all had the same option as Blake. It was work for the government or do time.
Fine, but the Civil Terrorism Unit? It's a fucking Gestapo! Dirty tricks political assassinations
Okay, okay. You made your choice. You went underground. Some of us made other choices.
DREIBERG +++$+++
Damn straight.
Damn straight! We were heroes.
Of course, we looked like idiots in those bondage outfits.
Well, that was Adrian's idea. I know he's the smartest man in the world and all that, but talk about publicity hounds . . .
Hey. You remember that nut in the hockey mask? With the asthma? What was his name . . .
Oh yeah. The one that used to confess to everything? Hoping we'd beat him up?
That's the one. Whatever happened to him?
He pulled it on Rorschach . . . and Rorschach dropped him down an elevator shaft.
Christ yes, I went in for a cancer scan first thing. Gave me a couple of rough nights, I'll tell you . . . How about you, Laurie?
Oh, yeah. They gave me a clean bill of health and then booted me the hell out. No expense account. No place to live.
You'll find something. I should go. You and me, seeing each other, someone might put two and two together . . .
They're not following me, Dan. I mean Jon's gone, we're right on the brink of World War III. Nobody cares about the Watchmen.
Maybe not, but why take chances?
Dan, what are you so scared of? I mean, me, I've spent all these years keeping Jon together, and now that it's over I feel I feel glad. I'm finally free to, to go out and live my own life, and
Laurie, wait. I've got a spare room. It's empty. If you'd like . . . LAURIE Oh Daniel, thanks, but I couldn't. You'd just be all nervous about
No, screw that. What you were saying before, it's absolutely right. I'd love to have you stay.
You're sure?
Oh. No. Sorry. I'll be right down the hall if you want me . . . I mean, if you need some aspirin, or
I'm gonna take a warm bath and sack out. You've been really sweet. Sleep tight, okay?
His what?
His . . . whatever.
I'm not his . . . whatever. Okay?
I told you I was a little bit out of step. A lot of the old stuff I listen to it never came out on crystal.
I'd say you stalled out about forty years ago. Nellie Lutcher Louis Jordan I've never even heard of these people.
Play one. Educate yourself.
No wonder Adrian's rich. You use that stuff?
Sure. It works. I mean, look at this face, Daniel. I'm thirtyeight years old!
I don't mind getting older. I'm obsolete anyway. Why try to hide it?
I like the way you look. It's strange with Jon. He doesn't age. His face doesn't change. But you, Daniel, you look . . .
Old?
Not at all. You look very dashing. Here, you pick one.
. . . What?
Pick a record. I feel like dancing.
Eight cops? Oh, great. A jury's gonna love that.
Are you kidding? If they put him in jail he's dead. He'll never get to trial.
I just realized. I'd never seen his face. I guess it was just a matter of time. He's totally Daniel? What's wrong?
The Comedian . . . Jon . . . now Rorschach.
