6 scenesAn ordinary burglar, kill the Comedian? Ridiculous.
Laurie I'm sorry Dan, I invite you out for a few laughs... but there don't seem to be many laughs around these days.
What do you expect? The Comedian's dead.
Laurie Hey, you remember that guy? The one who pretended to be a supervillain so he could get beaten up? What was his name..? Captain Carnage.
Yeah he was one for the books.
Laurie You're telling me! I remember, I caught him coming out of this jeweller's. I didn't know what his racket was. I start hitting him and I think "Jeez! He's breathing funny! Does he have asthma?
He tried that with me, only I'd heard about him, so I just walked away. He follows me down the street… broad daylight, right, screaming "Punish me! PUNISH ME!" I'm like "No! Get lost!"
Laurie What ever happened to him?
Well, he pulled it on Rorschach, and Rorschach dropped him down an elevator shaft.
Laurie [Pause. They both start laughing]
Oh, God, I'm sorry, that isn't funny.
Maybe a little
Why would I save a world I no longer have any stake in?
Laurie Then do it for me. If you ever cared.
When you left me, I left Earth. Does that not show you that I care?
So, I've been thinking... I feel that we have an obligation to our fraternity; I think we oughta spring Rorschach.
Laurie ...What?
Someone set him up. And this whole cancer thing, with Jon... It just doesn't make sense; You didn't get it.
Laurie Yeah, but breaking into a maximum security prison is a little different than putting out a fire.
Yeah, you're right - it'll be more fun.
[Rorschach enters Doctor Manhattan's lab] [continuing his work unfazed]
Good evening, Rorschach.
Doctor Manhattan. You know why I'm here.
Yes... [powers up device] but you're going to leave disappointed.
Laurie Rorschach! [enters room] You shouldn't be here, you're a wanted man.
Nice to see you too, Silk Spectre.
Laurie I have a real name I've been using a couple years now. Try it.
Whatever you say... Laurie.
Laurie What are you doing here?
The Comedian is dead. Rorschach wants me to look into my future; see if the killer is ever publicly identified.
Already warned Dreiberg. Came to warn you too.
Even if I wanted to help, my future is blocked by some kind of temporal interference. I cannot see it clearly.
Laurie Interference? Caused by what?
In all likelihood... nuclear holocaust. If the United States and Soviet Union engage in all-out war, the resulting blast wave would produce a sudden burst of tachyons, particles which travel backwards through what you perceive as time, therefore obscuring my vision of the present. I must return to my work. [turns away]
Wait a minute. What if that's why someone wants us out of the way? So we can't do anything to stop it?
Goodbye, Rorschach.
Took a lot of effort to get in here to see you. I'm not leaving... [Doctor Manhattan transports him back outside] ...till I've had my say. Hurm.
[Nixon finishes his speech on Veidt's TVs]
Do you see? It's your super powers retreating from war. I've saved the Earth from hell. We both have. This is as much your victory as it is mine. Now we can return. Do what we were meant to.
We were meant to exact justice! Everyone's gonna know what you've done...
Will they? By exposing me, you would sacrifice the peace so many died for today.
Peace based on a lie.
But peace! Nonetheless.
...He's right. Exposing Adrian would only doom the world to nuclear destruction again.
Laurie No... we can't do this.
On Mars, you taught me the value of life. If we hope to preserve it here, we must remain silent.
Keep your own secrets...
[The others look as Rorschach leaves, then Jon and Adrian make eye contact]
Don't even think about it. [goes after Rorschach] Rorschach! Wait!
[turns]
Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon. That's always been the difference between us, Daniel. [leaves the building]
I've made myself feel every death... see every innocent face I've murdered to save humanity. [turns to Jon] You understand, don't you?
Without condoning... or condemning. I understand.
