Not yet, there's plenty of time. |
Would you like me to stay? |
Mm hmm. |
I could stay and go. |
. . . And just how would you manage that? |
I'm not here. I'm still on Mars. I've come to collect you. |
Collect me? |
In the immediate future we're on Mars. I'm telling you goodbye. You're trying to convince me to cure your illness . . . |
Jon, no I can't |
It will happen, Laurie. I've already seen it. Neither of us can do anything to change it. |
The atmosphere. I'm sorry. These things slip my mind. |
Jesus, Jon, I nearly choked to where are we |
This whole place is ticking. Does it keep time? |
Yes. In about . . . thirty seconds, for example, you'll tell me you're sleeping with Dreiberg. |
You you know about me and Dan? |
Jon, does anybody know what the hell you're talking about? Dan's just an ordinary guy, but he talks to me. When he looks at me he's seeing something more than just a a collection of atoms. |
Then you're sleeping with Dreiberg? |
Well, I just, you just said don't act surprised. |
That's how time works, Laurie. Everything is preordained . . . even my responses. We're all puppets. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings. Thirty seconds. |
Jon there's something I have to know. Did you love me once? |
Yes, I loved you. I left the earth when I lost you. |
Yet you must've known all along that you'd give me cancer. Just be being with me. |
I didn't give you cancer, Laurie. Not you, not the others. I don't know what did. |
But you knew that I'd die. |
Memories of the future are just like any others. I've tried not to dwell on the unpleasant ones . . . You won't die of cancer, Laurie. There won't be time for that. |
Then it's going to happen. The world's going to end. And you've always known. |
Always. Ever since the day I died. |
Then why don't you . . . do something about it! |
Because |
Because you can't, I know, it's preordained. So sorry. I forgot. Jon. This, this "script" you're following . . . who writes it? |
I don't know yet. I should be able to tell you in roughly six hundred years. |
I can't stand any more of this. I want to go back. If I'm going to die I want to be with other people. |
Please, Laurie. Not yet. I've got eons stretching before me, a universe to explore. I'll be alone. You're the last human being I'll ever see. |
Jon, I do not want to hear it. |
I'm sorry. Look there's a gas storm on the Valles Marineris . . . |
Oh God. I'm no more than a bug on a windshield to you. |
You're the only human being I care for. |
Then do me a favor. If the world's going to end, it shouldn't matter a bit. I want you to cure me. |
I won't do that. |
You have the power to do it. I want you to do it. Please. |
I explained this. I can't. That's not the way it happens. |
Jon. If you ever loved me if there's anything human left in you then do it. |
What am I |
Cured, yes. |
Its very strange. Times flowing backwards . . . |
Jon what?? |
The south pole. Times flowing backwards. |
Jon, where are we? |
Veidts complex. |
Jon |
Space and time. I finally understand, Laurie. I see it all now. |
Jon for Gods sake, what do you see? |
I see what the watchmaker made. I see the universe! |
Hi, Jon. |
Hello, Adrian. |
The bearer of bad news. |
We've lost a colleague. The Comedian is dead. |
Rorschach's on the case. He's got Dreiberg in a lather. He seems to think that someone is "stalking" the Watchmen. |
Oh? The CTU suspects a Libyan hit squad. |
What's your theory? |
Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. They don't concern me. |
I guess you'll be dismantling Russian tanks soon. |
You mean Afghanistan? It won't require my attention. What I'm doing here is far more interesting. |
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, VEIDT? |
Jon! Get back! You don't understand. |
Walter |
Don't call me that. |
Walter you're just telling me what you think I want to hear. |
Wrong answers? |
There's no right or wrong. But if you don't give me an honest response, I can't help you. I want to help you. I want to know all about you. |
Hnnrr. Like to masturbate. Shit once a day. |
A whore fucking. |
Who is she? Do you know her? |
And what split the dog's skull open? |
Why, doctor. I did. He was a bad dog. |
Walter. This compulsion of yours to punish transgressors. In your mind . . . what gives you the right to judge? |
God isn't there to do it. |
We don't know that. |
That man, then, he was the first. The first you |
Saw the world that night random, empty, hideous. God didn't make it that way. We did. We make the world in our own image. What else can I illuminate? |
Had a lot of blood in him. |
You oughta see upstairs. It's a slaughterhouse. |
No idea who's behind this? |
Small army, from the looks of it. He put up one hell of a fight. |
He would You might as well know. It's gonna get messy. We got a call from Washington. |
Washington? |
They want in. Seems our friend here was hardcore CTU. |
What about our end? |
Well, sir . . . in a worstcase scenario . . . we'd assume that twentyfive percent of the Russian birds get through. |
What kind of time frame are we talking about? |
Thirty minutes maximum. Of course, I assume we'd be in the fortified command bunker at the time of the launch order. |
As you can see, we may be able to salvage a goodsized chunk of the farm belt. |
What about the aftermath? This socalled . . . "nuclear winter" theory? |
We don't really know, sir, but bluntly, our survival capability . . . may depend on a quirk of the weather. |
The weather. I see. Keep me posted. I want hourly forecasts and a full report on optimum strike conditions. |
Major Adamson, I can't seem to get in the door. |
Laurie, I'll have to ask you to come with me. |
Why? What's the problem? |
I can't tell you that. It is quite urgent. |
I would like to use the bathroom |
