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
