Speaking of friends, how's Hollis Mason?

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

Because there is good and evil,

Since the attacks,
I have been in constant contact...

2217
03:13:04,686 --> 03:13:07,679
...with the premier of the U. S. S.R.

2218
03:13:08,091 --> 03:13:10,925
Putting aside our past differences...

2219
03:13:11,260 --> 03:13:13,422
...we have both pledged to unite...

2220
03:13:13,764 --> 03:13:17,097
...against this common enemy.

2221
03:13:17,602 --> 03:13:19,592
With the rest of the world...

2222
03:13:20,038 --> 03:13:22,063
...we will prevail.

2223
03:13:24,609 --> 03:13:27,602
This is a day we shall never forget.

2224
03:13:27,780 --> 03:13:31,978
And yet we go forward
to defend the human race...

2225
03:13:32,152 --> 03:13:36,783
...and all that is good
and just in our world.

2226
03:13:38,126 --> 03:13:42,359
Thank you. God bless us all.

2227
03:13:42,730 --> 03:13:44,527
ADRIAN:
Do you see?

2228
03:13:46,734 --> 03:13:49,203
Two superpowers retreating from war.

2229
03:13:50,806 --> 03:13:53,241
I've saved the earth from hell.

2230
03:13:53,408 --> 03:13:55,377
We both have.

2231
03:13:55,845 --> 03:13:58,040
This is as much your victory as it is mine.

2232
03:14:02,853 --> 03:14:04,344
Now we can return...

2233
03:14:05,789 --> 03:14:07,348
...do what we were meant to.

2234
03:14:07,626 --> 03:14:10,493
We were meant to exact justice.

2235
03:14:10,829 --> 03:14:14,163
- Everyone's gonna know what you've done.
- Will they?

2236
03:14:14,332 --> 03:14:19,135
By exposing me, you would sacrifice
the peace so many died for today.

2237
03:14:19,305 --> 03:14:22,742
- Peace based on a lie.
- But peace...

2238
03:14:22,910 --> 03:14:25,106
...nonetheless.
- He's right.

2239
03:14:25,679 --> 03:14:29,639
Exposing Adrian would only doom the world
to nuclear destruction again.

2240
03:14:29,817 --> 03:14:32,685
No. We can't do this.

2241
03:14:32,854 --> 03:14:34,617
On Mars...

2242
03:14:36,125 --> 03:14:37,957
...you taught me the value of life.

2243
03:14:38,928 --> 03:14:41,363
If we hope to preserve it here...

2244
03:14:42,165 --> 03:14:44,191
...we must remain silent.

2245
03:14:48,039 --> 03:14:49,973
Keep your own secrets.

2246
03:14:56,848 --> 03:14:58,043
Don't even think about it.

2247
03:15:00,652 --> 03:15:02,382
Rorschach.

2248
03:15:04,157 --> 03:15:05,681
Wait.

2249
03:15:06,726 --> 03:15:08,820
Never compromise.

2250
03:15:09,196 --> 03:15:12,063
Not even in the face of armageddon.

2251
03:15:12,466 --> 03:15:15,459
That's always been the difference
between us, Daniel.

2252
03:15:26,515 --> 03:15:30,043
I've made myself feel every death...

2253
03:15:31,521 --> 03:15:37,427
...see every innocent face
I've murdered to save humanity.

2254
03:15:43,001 --> 03:15:46,699
- You understand, don't you?
JON: Without condoning...

2255
03:15:48,374 --> 03:15:50,275
...or condemning...

2256
03:15:54,682 --> 03:15:56,616
...I understand.

2257
03:16:04,025 --> 03:16:07,154
Out of my way. People have to be told.

2258
03:16:08,031 --> 03:16:09,965
You know I can't let you do that.

2259
03:16:11,200 --> 03:16:14,192
Suddenly you discover humanity?

2260
03:16:15,638 --> 03:16:17,470
Convenient.

2261
03:16:26,184 --> 03:16:30,746
If you'd cared from the start,
none of this would have happened.

2262
03:16:34,528 --> 03:16:37,497
I can change almost anything...

2263
03:16:42,069 --> 03:16:44,402
...but I can't change human nature.

2264
03:16:45,740 --> 03:16:49,142
Of course
you must protect Veidt's new utopia.

2265
03:16:50,411 --> 03:16:53,745
What's one more body
amongst foundations?

2266
03:16:59,923 --> 03:17:01,789
Well, what are you waiting for?

2267
03:17:05,261 --> 03:17:07,093
Do it.

2268
03:17:13,205 --> 03:17:14,229
Do it!

2269
03:17:16,943 --> 03:17:20,309
No!

2270
03:17:37,800 --> 03:17:43,568
JON: I'm leaving this galaxy
for one a little less complicated.

2271
03:17:43,740 --> 03:17:46,231
LAURIE: I thought you said you cared
about life again.

2272
03:17:46,409 --> 03:17:47,810
JON:
I do.

2273
03:17:49,146 --> 03:17:52,048
I think maybe I'll create some.

2274
03:17:56,154 --> 03:17:58,487
Goodbye, Laurie.

2275
03:18:18,379 --> 03:18:21,611
[DAN YELLING]

2276
03:18:33,729 --> 03:18:34,890
Come on.

2277
03:18:37,367 --> 03:18:38,960
Come on!

2278
03:18:43,374 --> 03:18:44,706
Dan...

2279
03:18:45,176 --> 03:18:47,940
...a world united and at peace.

2280
03:18:48,814 --> 03:18:50,008
There had to be sacrifice.

2281
03:18:50,183 --> 03:18:54,552
No! You haven't idealized mankind,
you've deformed it.

2282
03:18:54,721 --> 03:18:56,484
You've mutilated it.

2283
03:18:56,858 --> 03:18:59,019
That's your legacy.

2284
03:19:07,569 --> 03:19:10,368
That's the real practical joke.

2285
03:20:02,966 --> 03:20:06,959
MAN [ON TV]: We repeat, there is
nothing wrong with your television set.

2286
03:20:07,137 --> 03:20:10,596
You are about to participate
in a great adventure.

2287
03:20:10,775 --> 03:20:13,939
You are about to experience
the awe and mystery...

2288
03:20:14,111 --> 03:20:19,915
...which reaches from the inner mind
to the outer limits.

2289
03:20:21,120 --> 03:20:23,315
SALLY:
Sure you don ' t want a drink?

2290
03:20:24,324 --> 03:20:25,349
I ' m okay.

2291
03:20:26,426 --> 03:20:27,655
Cheers.

2292
03:20:29,096 --> 03:20:32,225
There's something I need
to get off my chest.

2293
03:20:33,500 --> 03:20:35,992
I know that Eddie Blake was my father.

2294
03:20:39,007 --> 03:20:40,770
Laurel.

2295
03:20:41,777 --> 03:20:44,109
What you must think of me.

2296
03:20:44,947 --> 03:20:47,473
I'm sorry I never told you.

2297
03:20:47,650 --> 03:20:49,447
I should have...

2298
03:20:49,620 --> 03:20:53,751
...but I don't know, I just felt ashamed.
I felt stupid.

2299
03:20:53,924 --> 03:20:55,858
It doesn't matter.

2300
03:20:56,694 --> 03:21:01,962
People's lives take them strange places.
They do strange things...

2301
03:21:02,533 --> 03:21:05,469
...and, well,
sometimes they can't talk about them.

2302
03:21:05,638 --> 03:21:07,970
I know how that is...

2303
03:21:08,707 --> 03:21:11,302
...but I just want you to know...

2304
03:21:11,878 --> 03:21:14,712
...that you never did anything wrong
by me.

2305
03:21:18,885 --> 03:21:23,153
You asked me why I wasn't mad at him.

2306
03:21:24,726 --> 03:21:27,217
Because he gave me you.

2307
03:21:32,234 --> 03:21:33,327
Thanks, Mom.

2308
03:21:36,072 --> 03:21:37,869
I love you.

2309
03:21:45,417 --> 03:21:49,615
- Hello, Miss Jupiter.
- Oh, Sally, please.

2310
03:21:51,256 --> 03:21:55,853
Excuse me. Gotta go freshen up.
I'll be right back.

2311
03:22:06,374 --> 03:22:10,538
- So how's it going up here?
- Good. How's it going down there?

2312
03:22:10,713 --> 03:22:14,206
Good. I think I've got everything working.

2313
03:22:14,383 --> 03:22:19,014
All of Archie's systems are upgraded.
Finished the tinkering for now...

2314
03:22:19,189 --> 03:22:21,420
...so all we gotta do is take her out.

2315
03:22:21,591 --> 03:22:24,651
Well, that sounds like a date.

2316
03:22:35,974 --> 03:22:38,238
Are we gonna be all right?

2317
03:22:40,313 --> 03:22:44,613
Long as people think Jon's
still watching us, we'll be all right...

2318
03:22:44,817 --> 03:22:46,683
...in the end.

2319
03:22:48,322 --> 03:22:50,484
I know what Jon would say:

2320
03:22:50,658 --> 03:22:52,683
Nothing ends.

2321
03:22:54,596 --> 03:22:57,190
Nothing ever ends.

2322
03:23:44,553 --> 03:23:48,320
Seymour, we got nothing
to write about anymore.

2323
03:23:48,490 --> 03:23:49,856
Everyone in the country...

2324
03:23:50,026 --> 03:23:52,291
...every country in the world
are holding hands...

2325
03:23:52,461 --> 03:23:55,727
...and singing songs
about peace and love.

2326
03:23:56,233 --> 03:23:59,100
It's like living in a goddamn
global hippie commune.

2327
03:23:59,270 --> 03:24:03,206
Well, Ronald Reagan says he's gonna
be running for president in '88.

2328
03:24:03,374 --> 03:24:05,206
We could run a piece on that.

2329
03:24:05,376 --> 03:24:08,540
Seymour, we don't dignify absurdities
with coverage.

2330
03:24:08,713 --> 03:24:12,548
This is still America, damn it.
Who wants a cowboy in the White House?

2331
03:24:13,285 --> 03:24:17,518
Okay. I could look for something
in the crank file.

2332
03:24:17,692 --> 03:24:19,283
Crank file.

2333
03:24:19,459 --> 03:24:21,451
Whatever. Take some initiative.

2334
03:24:21,629 --> 03:24:24,257
Run whatever you like.
I leave it entirely in your hands.

2335
03:24:30,772 --> 03:24:35,471
Rorschach 's journal, October 12th, 1985.

2336
03:24:35,645 --> 03:24:40,105
Tonight, a comedian died in New York.
