1. From humble beginnings
Copy !req
2. fraught with persecution
Copy !req
3. in Nazi Germany,
Copy !req
4. to the shores of New York,
Copy !req
5. one small boy in a huddled mass
Copy !req
6. yearning to breathe free,
Copy !req
7. Jon Osterman transcended pain,
Copy !req
8. suffering, and even death itself
Copy !req
9. to create a life the likes of which
Copy !req
10. history has never seen.
Copy !req
11. To some, the immigrant son
Copy !req
12. of a poor clockmaker
Copy !req
13. was the fulfillment
Copy !req
14. of the American dream.
Copy !req
15. To others, the world's first superman
Copy !req
16. was a toxic nightmare.
Copy !req
17. Jon Osterman stepped
Copy !req
18. into an intrinsic field chamber
Copy !req
19. to recover his girlfriend's watch.
Copy !req
20. But what emerged was an immortal god,
Copy !req
21. impervious to the passage of time.
Copy !req
22. This victim of an atomic mishap
Copy !req
23. would forever alter the history
Copy !req
24. of humankind by developing
Copy !req
25. miraculous new wonders.
Copy !req
26. And then, Vietnam.
Copy !req
27. Was he the liberating hero
Copy !req
28. who single-handedly ended the war
Copy !req
29. and delivered his country
Copy !req
30. its 51st state?
Copy !req
31. Or was he the cold blue conqueror
Copy !req
32. who decimated an entire way of life?
Copy !req
33. And so, like the Viet Cong he vanquished
Copy !req
34. a decade earlier, he retreated.
Copy !req
35. For the next ten hours,
Copy !req
36. we'll explore the legacy
Copy !req
37. of this literally self-made man,
Copy !req
38. in hopes of understanding
Copy !req
39. why he was here and why he left.
Copy !req
40. From humble beginnings fraught
Copy !req
41. with persecution in Nazi Germany,
Copy !req
42. to the shores of New York...
Copy !req
43. Are you gonna take my money or not?
Copy !req
44. Show me.
Copy !req
45. - I told you she was gonna try.
Copy !req
46. That you did.
Copy !req
47. Please let me see it?
Copy !req
48. What did we tell you last week,
Copy !req
49. and the week before that?
Copy !req
50. I have to wait till I'm grown up.
Copy !req
51. People who wear masks
Copy !req
52. are dangerous, Angela.
Copy !req
53. - And we should be scared of them.
Copy !req
54. - Why?
Copy !req
55. Well, they're hiding something.
Copy !req
56. It's just pretend, Dad.
Copy !req
57. Well, it's only pretend until it's real.
Copy !req
58. And when you're a little older,
Copy !req
59. you'll be able to tell the difference.
Copy !req
60. Until then,
Copy !req
61. take this on back, and Mom and me will
Copy !req
62. get you mooncakes for the fireworks.
Copy !req
63. - Deal?
Copy !req
64. - Deal.
Copy !req
65. Go ahead.
Copy !req
66. It's gonna be okay, baby.
Copy !req
67. All right?
Copy !req
68. We're gonna be right behind you.
Copy !req
69. Did you fall out of bed again?
Copy !req
70. What happened?
Copy !req
71. I'm guessing you don't remember
Copy !req
72. - asking me that five times already.
Copy !req
73. I'm happy to go over it again.
Copy !req
74. Your memory's a bit...
Copy !req
75. broken.
Copy !req
76. You took an entire bottle
Copy !req
77. of Nostalgia pills that weren't yours.
Copy !req
78. And now is when you usually ask me
Copy !req
79. how you got from locked up
Copy !req
80. in a jail cell to here with me.
Copy !req
81. Well, since you OD'd on my drug,
Copy !req
82. Agent Blake called me up
Copy !req
83. and asked if I could save your life.
Copy !req
84. So, here you are,
Copy !req
85. getting your life saved.
Copy !req
86. Don't touch. It's your treatment.
Copy !req
87. And now is when you ask,
Copy !req
88. "What treatment?"
Copy !req
89. And then I give you
Copy !req
90. the tutorial injection.
Copy !req
91. Wait. What the hell are you—
Copy !req
92. So, you've taken
Copy !req
93. someone else's Nostalgia.
Copy !req
94. Don't panic. We can help.
Copy !req
95. Introducing pneumodialysis,
Copy !req
96. a treatment by Trieu Pharmaceuticals.
Copy !req
97. At this moment, foreign memories
Copy !req
98. have invaded your brain.
Copy !req
99. Those memories have embedded
Copy !req
100. by consolidating into neural networks,
Copy !req
101. clogging existing pathways and
Copy !req
102. threatening higher cognitive function.
Copy !req
103. We call this process
Copy !req
104. "recollective infestation."
Copy !req
105. The only remedy for infestation
Copy !req
106. is to call a good exterminator,
Copy !req
107. so let's get in there and spray.
Copy !req
108. Pneumodialysis saturates the brain
Copy !req
109. with cerebrospinal fluid
Copy !req
110. provided by a natural host,
Copy !req
111. and literally flushes Nostalgia
Copy !req
112. from the cortex.
Copy !req
113. The procedure is delicate
Copy !req
114. and somewhat tedious.
Copy !req
115. Consider keeping yourself occupied
Copy !req
116. by meditating or reading a good book.
Copy !req
117. Thank you for trusting
Copy !req
118. Trieu Pharmaceuticals
Copy !req
119. with the most precious of possessions.
Copy !req
120. Your mind.
Copy !req
121. Goodbye, and have a pleasant return
Copy !req
122. to consciousness.
Copy !req
123. Was that informative?
Copy !req
124. Don't ever fucking do that to me again.
Copy !req
125. That's what you said last time.
Copy !req
126. This tube...
Copy !req
127. It's connected to a natural host?
Copy !req
128. That's right.
Copy !req
129. My grandfather?
Copy !req
130. What...
Copy !req
131. What's happening?
Copy !req
132. It's a side effect of the treatment.
Copy !req
133. Your grandfather
Copy !req
134. had very painful memories.
Copy !req
135. They're coming out of you now.
Copy !req
136. I need to talk to him.
Copy !req
137. You just spent
Copy !req
138. the last two days being him.
Copy !req
139. Contact right now is a bad idea.
Copy !req
140. I'm sorry, Detective...
Copy !req
141. but you wouldn't know
Copy !req
142. where he ends and you begin.
Copy !req
143. As the treatment clears out
Copy !req
144. your grandfather's memories,
Copy !req
145. you may re-experience your own
Copy !req
146. vividly and without warning.
Copy !req
147. Do you mind if I ask
Copy !req
148. what knocked you out of bed?
Copy !req
149. It was my...
Copy !req
150. tenth birthday party.
Copy !req
151. My mom and dad gave me a pony.
Copy !req
152. Good morning.
Copy !req
153. It is now 12 hours
Copy !req
154. until the Millennium Clock is activated.
Copy !req
155. All personnel, please report
Copy !req
156. to your assigned stations.
Copy !req
157. Hey, she still in there?
Copy !req
158. We wouldn't be here if she wasn't.
Copy !req
159. - Why don't you go in?
Copy !req
160. - Go home, Cal. Huh?
Copy !req
161. Excuse me. Hi. Uh...
Copy !req
162. I need to see my wife.
Copy !req
163. - I've been calling,
Copy !req
164. but no one's answering the phones.
Copy !req
165. Yes. Of course.
Copy !req
166. Please step aside, sir.
Copy !req
167. Good morning, Mr. Abar. I'm Bian.
Copy !req
168. Can you see and hear me okay?
Copy !req
169. Yeah.
Copy !req
170. I understand you want to see your wife.
Copy !req
171. Unfortunately, the timing
Copy !req
172. couldn't be worse.
Copy !req
173. We're preparing to activate
Copy !req
174. the Millennium Clock,
Copy !req
175. and for your own safety, we can't
Copy !req
176. grant access to unauthorized personnel.
Copy !req
177. Is she okay?
Copy !req
178. Absolutely. She's resting right now.
Copy !req
179. And she's responding incredibly well
Copy !req
180. to the treatment
Copy !req
181. my mother is administering.
Copy !req
182. Can I talk to her?
Copy !req
183. Sadly, you cannot.
Copy !req
184. Where the hell is Agent Blake?
Copy !req
185. I've joined the enemy.
Copy !req
186. The police in this city smother
Copy !req
187. our people under their shoes.
Copy !req
188. Beware the Cyclops.
Copy !req
189. Film projectors.
Copy !req
190. Cyclops is using some kind of mesmerism.
Copy !req
191. You can hang yourself now.
Copy !req
192. Agent Blake, you there?
Copy !req
193. - Agent Blake, come in.
Copy !req
194. - What is it, Petey?
Copy !req
195. Remember when you told me to drive over
Copy !req
196. to Detective Tillman's house
Copy !req
197. because you—
Copy !req
198. Or, you know, Looking Glass,
Copy !req
199. because you thought it was
Copy !req
200. really unusual that he ratted out
Copy !req
201. Detective Abar, and you were worried
Copy !req
202. that maybe he was working
Copy !req
203. with the Seventh Kavalry?
Copy !req
204. Yes, Petey.
Copy !req
205. I remember it as if I said
Copy !req
206. all of that to you verbatim.
Copy !req
207. Anyway, I'm pretty sure
Copy !req
208. he's not working with them.
Copy !req
209. Because, uh...
Copy !req
210. five of them are here,
Copy !req
211. and they're extremely dead.
Copy !req
212. Are you sure they're Kavalry?
Copy !req
213. Yeah. Yeah, they're all wearing
Copy !req
214. Rorschach masks.
Copy !req
215. Well, actually, hold on.
Copy !req
216. One of them isn't.
Copy !req
217. Mirror Guy, where is he?
Copy !req
218. Not here.
Copy !req
219. Kinda strange, considering he's a cop,
Copy !req
220. that he didn't call this in, huh?
Copy !req
221. Should I call this in?
Copy !req
222. Uh, no, you should not call it in.
Copy !req
223. You should stay exactly where you are.
Copy !req
224. I'll be there as soon as
Copy !req
225. I'm done with my thing here.
Copy !req
226. What thing?
Copy !req
227. Agent Blake?
Copy !req
228. Hello?
Copy !req
229. - Agent Blake.
Copy !req
230. - Mrs. Crawford.
Copy !req
231. Howdy.
Copy !req
232. - May I get you some tea?
Copy !req
233. - Oh. Thanks. No, I'm fine.
Copy !req
234. You sure?
Copy !req
235. Here. Please, have a seat.
Copy !req
236. - I can make some coffee.
Copy !req
237. - Mrs. Crawford...
Copy !req
238. I know who killed your husband.
Copy !req
239. What?
Copy !req
240. His name is Will Reeves.
Copy !req
241. He was a policeman in New York
Copy !req
242. back in the 1940s.
Copy !req
243. And he has history here in Tulsa.
Copy !req
244. He's Angela Abar's grandfather.
Copy !req
245. Oh... I don't understand.
Copy !req
246. Angela said she doesn't have any family.
Copy !req
247. Well, we all have family, Mrs. Crawford.
Copy !req
248. Some of them we just don't talk about.
Copy !req
249. Well, why would this man
Copy !req
250. want to kill Judd?
Copy !req
251. Well, this is the part that gets weird.
Copy !req
252. Angela OD'd on her grandpa's Nostalgia.
Copy !req
253. And while she was under,
Copy !req
254. she talked a lot.
Copy !req
255. It's as if she was channeling
Copy !req
256. the old man, reliving his life.
Copy !req
257. I've got it all on tape
Copy !req
258. if you want to listen.
Copy !req
259. Like I said, weird.
Copy !req
260. It turns out that...
Copy !req
261. Will Reeves was Hooded Justice.
Copy !req
262. The very first masked vigilante.
Copy !req
263. And he was black.
Copy !req
264. I mean, this is a guy who inspired
Copy !req
265. two generations of heroes,
Copy !req
266. my folks and myself included,
Copy !req
267. but he had to hide who he was.
Copy !req
268. Because white men in masks are heroes,
Copy !req
269. but black men in masks...
Copy !req
270. are scary.
Copy !req
271. - Thank God times have changed.
Copy !req
272. - Yeah, thank God.
Copy !req
273. But the point is,
Copy !req
274. when she was walking a mile
Copy !req
275. in Grandpa's memories,
Copy !req
276. Angela kept saying one word
Copy !req
277. over and over and over.
Copy !req
278. "Cyclops."
Copy !req
279. Am I supposed to know what that is?
Copy !req
280. Back in the day, it was a racist cult,
Copy !req
281. hot for mind control.
Copy !req
282. - Reeves made it his life's work—
Copy !req
283. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, mind control?
Copy !req
284. Yes. I know. I know.
Copy !req
285. Now, this may come as a bit of a shock,
Copy !req
286. but I think that Reeves
Copy !req
287. believed your husband
Copy !req
288. was a part of this whole Cyclops thing.
Copy !req
289. And that's why he killed him.
Copy !req
290. And what do you believe?
Copy !req
291. Well, I wouldn't be doing my job
Copy !req
292. if I didn't at least
Copy !req
293. entertain the idea that
Copy !req
294. the chief of police of Tulsa
Copy !req
295. wasn't a secret white supremacist.
Copy !req
296. Which has to make you wonder
Copy !req
297. about his friends.
Copy !req
298. Like Joe Keene.
Copy !req
299. What if the Seventh Kavalry
Copy !req
300. is just Cyclops by another name?
Copy !req
301. And what if Senator Joe
Copy !req
302. used them to kill a bunch of police
Copy !req
303. so that he could put
Copy !req
304. all the cops in masks?
Copy !req
305. And pretty soon, no one can tell
Copy !req
306. the good guys from the bad guys,
Copy !req
307. because everybody's covering
Copy !req
308. their fucking faces
Copy !req
309. and pledging loyalty to
Copy !req
310. their newly-elected leader,
Copy !req
311. President Joe.
Copy !req
312. Well, that was the original idea.
Copy !req
313. But something extraordinary happened,
Copy !req
314. and suddenly,
Copy !req
315. "president" seemed a bit small potatoes.
Copy !req
316. What?
Copy !req
317. I'm sorry. Was I not supposed
Copy !req
318. to confess yet?
Copy !req
319. You've just been going on and on and on.
Copy !req
320. - Shit.
Copy !req
321. - What the fuck are you doing?
Copy !req
322. Hey, it's me.
Copy !req
323. Laurie Blake just stopped by.
Copy !req
324. You want me to kill her or what?
Copy !req
325. Good afternoon.
Copy !req
326. It is now nine hours
Copy !req
327. until the Millennium Clock is activated.
Copy !req
328. All personnel designated green, please
Copy !req
329. report to the medical wing
Copy !req
330. for the removal
Copy !req
331. of any remaining metal implants.
Copy !req
332. Which man looks more trustworthy?
Copy !req
333. - What?
Copy !req
334. - First instinct.
Copy !req
335. Which is more trustworthy?
Copy !req
336. - The candy man.
Copy !req
337. - Why?
Copy !req
338. People don't fly kites alone.
Copy !req
339. Which woman looks more scared?
Copy !req
340. The one who's about to jump.
Copy !req
341. What makes you think
Copy !req
342. she's going to jump?
Copy !req
343. Why else would she be on a ledge?
Copy !req
344. Which woman is the angriest?
Copy !req
345. They're exactly the same.
Copy !req
346. Are you sure?
Copy !req
347. I'm sorry, but what does this
Copy !req
348. have to do with my treatment?
Copy !req
349. Oh. Nothing.
Copy !req
350. It's research for my dissertation.
Copy !req
351. It's on the adaptive function of empathy
Copy !req
352. and the role of rage suppression
Copy !req
353. in social cohesion.
Copy !req
354. I have a son that's about your age,
Copy !req
355. and I can barely get him to open a book.
Copy !req
356. Is it hard lying to him?
Copy !req
357. What?
Copy !req
358. About being a police detective.
Copy !req
359. My understanding is you're not allowed
Copy !req
360. to tell your children.
Copy !req
361. It's for their own protection.
Copy !req
362. Not yours?
Copy !req
363. They lost their parents.
Copy !req
364. If they knew what I did,
Copy !req
365. they would worry.
Copy !req
366. If you don't want your kids
Copy !req
367. to worry you're a cop...
Copy !req
368. then why are you a cop?
Copy !req
369. Detective Abar? Detective Abar?
Copy !req
370. Are you okay?
Copy !req
371. - Okay.
Copy !req
372. I'm not scared.
Copy !req
373. That's him.
Copy !req
374. I'm sure.
Copy !req
375. Can I listen?
Copy !req
376. If you don't want
Copy !req
377. your kids to worry you're a cop...
Copy !req
378. then why are you a cop?
Copy !req
379. You ain't gonna get justice
Copy !req
380. with a badge, Will Reeves.
Copy !req
381. You're gonna get it with that hood.
Copy !req
382. Detective Abar.
Copy !req
383. Detective Abar?
Copy !req
384. Whose was it?
Copy !req
385. What?
Copy !req
386. Whose memory did you just experience?
Copy !req
387. Yours or your grandfather's?
Copy !req
388. Mine.
Copy !req
389. Well, that's progress.
Copy !req
390. It means the treatment is working.
Copy !req
391. I have these dreams sometimes.
Copy !req
392. They feel so real.
Copy !req
393. I'm an old woman.
Copy !req
394. I'm scared...
Copy !req
395. and it hurts.
Copy !req
396. What was it like for you?
Copy !req
397. When you saw what he saw...
Copy !req
398. felt what he felt.
Copy !req
399. It hurt, too.
Copy !req
400. Hear ye! Hear ye!
Copy !req
401. So begins day 365
Copy !req
402. of The People v. Adrian Veidt,
Copy !req
403. alias Ozymandias, alias Master.
Copy !req
404. All rise for His Honor, the Game Warden.
Copy !req
405. Be seated.
Copy !req
406. Very well. Let's get this over with.
Copy !req
407. Madam Prosecutor, you may offer
Copy !req
408. your closing argument.
Copy !req
409. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
Copy !req
410. honorable Warden...
Copy !req
411. Master.
Copy !req
412. From the moment the accused
Copy !req
413. pulls us from the water,
Copy !req
414. to the moment
Copy !req
415. he inevitably slaughters us,
Copy !req
416. we are governed by one law.
Copy !req
417. A law imbued in us by our creator
Copy !req
418. when he gifted us with life,
Copy !req
419. and this glorious paradise
Copy !req
420. in which to live it.
Copy !req
421. "Thou shalt not leave."
Copy !req
422. Is the accused guilty of murder?
Copy !req
423. The evidence is indisputable.
Copy !req
424. Even from the time before
Copy !req
425. he came to us, he freely admits
Copy !req
426. he not only took the lives of
Copy !req
427. fellow costumed adventurers...
Copy !req
428. but those
Copy !req
429. of three million innocent people.
Copy !req
430. Does he apologize for manufacturing
Copy !req
431. an enormous alien being
Copy !req
432. and using it
Copy !req
433. to perpetrate mass genocide?
Copy !req
434. Does he show a shred of remorse?
Copy !req
435. No.
Copy !req
436. He tells us such wanton carnage was
Copy !req
437. "a necessary sacrifice
Copy !req
438. to achieve utopia."
Copy !req
439. And so for years, he hurled our
Copy !req
440. lifeless bodies into the great beyond.
Copy !req
441. Lives we offered unto him
Copy !req
442. without questioning his intent.
Copy !req
443. An intent he made ever more clear
Copy !req
444. in a series of
Copy !req
445. self-aggrandizing monologues
Copy !req
446. espousing his own superiority
Copy !req
447. and his true purpose.
Copy !req
448. Escape.
Copy !req
449. "Thou shalt not leave."
Copy !req
450. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
451. the choice is simple.
Copy !req
452. Resign yourself to
Copy !req
453. our Master's cruel whim...
Copy !req
454. or find him...
Copy !req
455. guilty.
Copy !req
456. The prosecution rests.
Copy !req
457. Master Veidt, you've chosen
Copy !req
458. to represent yourself, and yet,
Copy !req
459. over the course of this past year,
Copy !req
460. you've offered no testimony
Copy !req
461. nor evidence to contradict
Copy !req
462. the prosecution's case.
Copy !req
463. If you have anything to say
Copy !req
464. in your defense, say it now.
Copy !req
465. The defense...
Copy !req
466. rests.
Copy !req
467. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
468. I owe you an apology.
Copy !req
469. Not for the foul disregard for decency
Copy !req
470. that just emanated
Copy !req
471. from the bowels of the accused,
Copy !req
472. but for placing upon you
Copy !req
473. the burden of judging... him.
Copy !req
474. For it is the foundation
Copy !req
475. of a fair trial that every man
Copy !req
476. be judged by a jury of his peers.
Copy !req
477. You are not his peers.
Copy !req
478. As such, I have taken the liberty
Copy !req
479. of assembling an alternative jury
Copy !req
480. much more suited to the task.
Copy !req
481. - Go!
Copy !req
482. What say you, madam?
Copy !req
483. How do you find the defendant?
Copy !req
484. Guilty!
Copy !req
485. Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!
Copy !req
486. Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!
Copy !req
487. Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!
Copy !req
488. Hey. You hungry?
Copy !req
489. Then why did you come here?
Copy !req
490. I have a secret plan
Copy !req
491. to save humanity,
Copy !req
492. and it starts in Oklahoma.
Copy !req
493. Can't tell if you're kidding.
Copy !req
494. Sure you can.
Copy !req
495. Why did you come here?
Copy !req
496. My husband and I were tired of Saigon.
Copy !req
497. Tulsa PD was hiring.
Copy !req
498. Seemed as good a place as any.
Copy !req
499. And you were looking to start over
Copy !req
500. after his accident.
Copy !req
501. It was a car crash, right?
Copy !req
502. I've done a lot of research on memory.
Copy !req
503. Total amnesia is extremely rare.
Copy !req
504. Unless you're in a soap opera.
Copy !req
505. In real life, it almost never happens.
Copy !req
506. It happened.
Copy !req
507. Of course it did.
Copy !req
508. I can't imagine what it was like.
Copy !req
509. No sense of who he was or who you were.
Copy !req
510. His whole life up to that moment just...
Copy !req
511. gone.
Copy !req
512. - How do you know about Cal?
Copy !req
513. - Your grandfather told me.
Copy !req
514. I spent all of 20 minutes with that man.
Copy !req
515. He doesn't know shit about my husband.
Copy !req
516. - Well, he knows shit about you.
Copy !req
517. - Yeah?
Copy !req
518. Let's follow my tube
Copy !req
519. and see what he knows about me.
Copy !req
520. It would be a bad idea
Copy !req
521. to see him right now.
Copy !req
522. Then why did he want me
Copy !req
523. to take his fucking pills?
Copy !req
524. He didn't think
Copy !req
525. you'd take them all at once.
Copy !req
526. Nostalgia is more tolerable
Copy !req
527. in small doses.
Copy !req
528. And whose Nostalgia
Copy !req
529. is your daughter tolerating?
Copy !req
530. I'm sorry?
Copy !req
531. She told me about her dreams,
Copy !req
532. where she's some sick old lady.
Copy !req
533. And I'm just wondering,
Copy !req
534. whose memories are you slipping to her?
Copy !req
535. Her own.
Copy !req
536. - What?
Copy !req
537. - I'm slipping her own memories to her.
Copy !req
538. Bian's not my daughter. She's my mother.
Copy !req
539. Before she died, I harvested
Copy !req
540. her memories, and then I cloned her.
Copy !req
541. Of course, she wouldn't be my mother
Copy !req
542. unless she had my mother's experiences,
Copy !req
543. so over time, I've been
Copy !req
544. reintegrating her memories
Copy !req
545. while she sleeps via IV drip.
Copy !req
546. You're a fucking crazy person.
Copy !req
547. I'm on the verge of completing
Copy !req
548. my life's work.
Copy !req
549. Is it wrong to want my parents with me
Copy !req
550. when I do?
Copy !req
551. Your dad's here, too?
Copy !req
552. He will be.
Copy !req
553. And your life's work is turning on
Copy !req
554. your big fancy gizmo
Copy !req
555. so that you can save humanity?
Copy !req
556. You make it sound ridiculous
Copy !req
557. when you say it like that.
Copy !req
558. So then tell me what it fucking does.
Copy !req
559. Your clock.
Copy !req
560. No.
Copy !req
561. Good afternoon.
Copy !req
562. It is now four hours
Copy !req
563. until the Millennium Clock is activated.
Copy !req
564. All personnel, please report
Copy !req
565. to the viewing platform.
Copy !req
566. Lady Trieu's invocation
Copy !req
567. is for our ears only.
Copy !req
568. The future thanks you for your service.
Copy !req
569. Agent Blake.
Copy !req
570. I hear you cracked the case.
Copy !req
571. Hooded Justice.
Copy !req
572. I didn't see that coming.
Copy !req
573. Not a lot of 100-year-old vigilantes
Copy !req
574. rolling around.
Copy !req
575. A trapdoor?
Copy !req
576. I'm sorry?
Copy !req
577. Who has a fucking trapdoor
Copy !req
578. installed in their living room?
Copy !req
579. Jane told me I was tempting fate
Copy !req
580. by sending you down to Tulsa.
Copy !req
581. But for reasons that will
Copy !req
582. soon become obvious, I couldn't—
Copy !req
583. Oh, Jesus. Please don't.
Copy !req
584. - What?
Copy !req
585. - Talk me through your fucking plan.
Copy !req
586. Let me guess.
Copy !req
587. When you were just a boy,
Copy !req
588. your father put you on his knee
Copy !req
589. and told you that you'd been born into
Copy !req
590. the Order of the Cyclops,
Copy !req
591. and that it was your legacy
Copy !req
592. to grow up and be
Copy !req
593. the most powerful racist fuck
Copy !req
594. in the nation.
Copy !req
595. That's not at all what happened.
Copy !req
596. I'm tired, Joe.
Copy !req
597. I'm tired of all the silliness.
Copy !req
598. You want me to ask you
Copy !req
599. why I'm strapped to a chair
Copy !req
600. in an abandoned JCPenney,
Copy !req
601. or what that cage is for?
Copy !req
602. Fine.
Copy !req
603. Just know that I don't give a shit.
Copy !req
604. Oh, you'll give a shit
Copy !req
605. about this, Laurie.
Copy !req
606. You of all people.
Copy !req
607. You're wrong about Cyclops.
Copy !req
608. We're not racist.
Copy !req
609. We're about restoring balance
Copy !req
610. in those times
Copy !req
611. when our country forgets the principles
Copy !req
612. upon which it was founded.
Copy !req
613. Because the scales
Copy !req
614. have tipped way too far,
Copy !req
615. and it is extremely difficult to be
Copy !req
616. a white man in America right now.
Copy !req
617. So, I'm thinking...
Copy !req
618. I might try being a blue one.
Copy !req
619. When I was 15 years old,
Copy !req
620. I graduated from MIT.
Copy !req
621. Four years later, I bought it.
Copy !req
622. By 24, I had revolutionized
Copy !req
623. the fields of medicine,
Copy !req
624. energy, nanotech.
Copy !req
625. And at 30, I designed and launched
Copy !req
626. the first micro-fusion spacecraft.
Copy !req
627. But there were failures, too.
Copy !req
628. My greatest was Nostalgia.
Copy !req
629. I gave people the means to visit
Copy !req
630. the past so they could learn from it.
Copy !req
631. So they could evolve and transform,
Copy !req
632. and better themselves.
Copy !req
633. Instead, they became fixated
Copy !req
634. on their most painful memories,
Copy !req
635. choosing to experience
Copy !req
636. the worst moments of their lives,
Copy !req
637. over and over again. And why?
Copy !req
638. Because they were afraid.
Copy !req
639. Afraid that once unburdened
Copy !req
640. by the trauma of the past,
Copy !req
641. they would have no excuse
Copy !req
642. not to move gloriously into the future.
Copy !req
643. This Millennium Clock
Copy !req
644. is a monument to the new.
Copy !req
645. Countless generations
Copy !req
646. will gaze upon our mighty work,
Copy !req
647. and without despair, acknowledge
Copy !req
648. the miracle it set in motion.
Copy !req
649. I know you're in there.
Copy !req
650. I took your pills.
Copy !req
651. You showed me your life.
Copy !req
652. Why?
Copy !req
653. I know why you killed Crawford.
Copy !req
654. What do you want from me?
Copy !req
655. Will!
Copy !req
656. Open the fucking door!
Copy !req
657. What the fuck?
Copy !req
658. Subject disconnected.
Copy !req
659. This lady yell at you
Copy !req
660. like that all the time?
Copy !req
661. Yeah.
Copy !req
662. You can go now.
Copy !req
663. Well, hello there, Angela.
Copy !req
664. I... I'm June.
Copy !req
665. I'm your grandma.
Copy !req
666. Hi.
Copy !req
667. I'm here to take you home.
Copy !req
668. Your daddy ever mention me?
Copy !req
669. Figures.
Copy !req
670. - You're his mom?
Copy !req
671. - Yeah. I was his mom.
Copy !req
672. ['Every Time You Go Away"
Copy !req
673. continues playing]
Copy !req
674. Ways back, he told me
Copy !req
675. he wanted to put on a uniform
Copy !req
676. and come here to Vietnam and fight.
Copy !req
677. I said if he did,
Copy !req
678. I'd never talk to him again.
Copy !req
679. He came anyway.
Copy !req
680. He was stubborn, your daddy.
Copy !req
681. But he forgot
Copy !req
682. where he got stubborn from.
Copy !req
683. War ended, he met your mom.
Copy !req
684. Lots of opportunity
Copy !req
685. in a brand-new state,
Copy !req
686. so he stayed.
Copy !req
687. Couple years went by. Couple more.
Copy !req
688. Then I had a heart attack.
Copy !req
689. Mmm-mmm, I was fine.
Copy !req
690. It was just a little bitty one.
Copy !req
691. But such things tend to have
Copy !req
692. sentimental effects,
Copy !req
693. so I wrote your daddy a letter.
Copy !req
694. Had to send it to the army here
Copy !req
695. because I had no address for him.
Copy !req
696. It came back unopened,
Copy !req
697. with a big stamp on it.
Copy !req
698. "Deceased."
Copy !req
699. Turns out,
Copy !req
700. he never listed me as next of kin.
Copy !req
701. As far as he was concerned...
Copy !req
702. I didn't exist.
Copy !req
703. That's when I found out he had a wife...
Copy !req
704. and she was gone also.
Copy !req
705. And then they told me
Copy !req
706. he had a little girl.
Copy !req
707. A little girl who was all alone,
Copy !req
708. with no next of kin.
Copy !req
709. So, I bought me a plane ticket
Copy !req
710. and I came here to get you.
Copy !req
711. Tell me something about yourself,
Copy !req
712. Angela. Anything.
Copy !req
713. I'm gonna be a police officer.
Copy !req
714. Of course you are.
Copy !req
715. What else you got in there?
Copy !req
716. Oh! I remember this one.
Copy !req
717. You do not wanna fuck with Sister Night.
Copy !req
718. - This your favorite?
Copy !req
719. - I'm not allowed to watch it.
Copy !req
720. Why not?
Copy !req
721. My dad said we should be scared of
Copy !req
722. people in masks.
Copy !req
723. Well, that's because
Copy !req
724. someone in a mask scared him
Copy !req
725. when he was about your age,
Copy !req
726. and he never really got over it.
Copy !req
727. Do I have a grandpa?
Copy !req
728. Lots of movies out there.
Copy !req
729. Um, why you carrying around this one?
Copy !req
730. She looks like me.
Copy !req
731. Know what? She does look like you.
Copy !req
732. I reckon there's not a lot of people
Copy !req
733. here in Vietnam who do.
Copy !req
734. No, ma'am.
Copy !req
735. Tell you what.
Copy !req
736. I have a VCR in Tulsa.
Copy !req
737. We'll watch this first thing.
Copy !req
738. - Where's Tulsa?
Copy !req
739. - Tulsa's in Oklahoma, honey.
Copy !req
740. It's where we're from.
Copy !req
741. ['Every Time You Go Away"
Copy !req
742. continues playing]
Copy !req
743. Precious cargo. Can't be too safe.
Copy !req
744. - There.
Copy !req
745. Subject disconnected.
Copy !req
746. Subject disconnected.
Copy !req
747. Subject disconnected.
Copy !req
748. Subject disconnected.
Copy !req
749. Subject disconnected.
Copy !req
750. Subject disconnected.
Copy !req
751. Subject disconnected.
Copy !req
752. Subject disconnected.
Copy !req
753. Subject disconnected.
Copy !req
754. I don't know why I keep coming
Copy !req
755. to these stupid phone booths
Copy !req
756. and telling you jokes.
Copy !req
757. It's not like you ever had
Copy !req
758. a sense of humor.
Copy !req
759. I know you're probably never gonna
Copy !req
760. hear this anyway.
Copy !req
761. Sometimes it's...
Copy !req
762. Sometimes it's nice to pretend.
Copy !req
763. So many prayers unanswered.
Copy !req
764. I own and operate thousands
Copy !req
765. of Manhattan booths around the world.
Copy !req
766. You wouldn't believe
Copy !req
767. what people ask him for.
Copy !req
768. They beg and beg and beg for his help.
Copy !req
769. Beg for him to come down from
Copy !req
770. the heavens and make things better.
Copy !req
771. But he ignores them, every single one.
Copy !req
772. Do you know why?
Copy !req
773. - I give up.
Copy !req
774. - Because Dr. Manhattan isn't listening.
Copy !req
775. He's not even on Mars.
Copy !req
776. Where is he?
Copy !req
777. Right here in Tulsa.
Copy !req
778. Pretending to be human.
Copy !req
779. Are you the one who
Copy !req
780. put that idea in my grandfather's head?
Copy !req
781. Actually, he put it in mine.
Copy !req
782. Angela...
Copy !req
783. are we going to keep
Copy !req
784. fucking around here?
Copy !req
785. Or are we going to be honest
Copy !req
786. with each other?
Copy !req
787. Tell me how you know my grandfather
Copy !req
788. and tell me
Copy !req
789. what the fuck you're doing here,
Copy !req
790. and don't say
Copy !req
791. it's saving fucking humanity.
Copy !req
792. Your grandfather came to me because
Copy !req
793. he needed someone with my resources
Copy !req
794. to help him stop the Seventh Kavalry.
Copy !req
795. Stop them from doing what?
Copy !req
796. In less than an hour, they're going
Copy !req
797. to capture Dr. Manhattan,
Copy !req
798. and they're going to destroy him.
Copy !req
799. And then they're going to become him.
Copy !req
800. Can you imagine that kind of power
Copy !req
801. in the hands of white supremacists?
Copy !req
802. I'm sorry, Angela.
Copy !req
803. I know you asked me not to say it,
Copy !req
804. but I am saving fucking humanity.
Copy !req
805. I'm leaving now.
Copy !req
806. 'Cause that's the craziest shit
Copy !req
807. I've ever heard.
Copy !req
808. Okay.
Copy !req
809. You didn't ask me who he is.
Copy !req
810. - What?
Copy !req
811. - I know you think I'm crazy, but...
Copy !req
812. I just told you
Copy !req
813. Dr. Manhattan is here in Tulsa,
Copy !req
814. walking amongst us as a human being,
Copy !req
815. and you never asked me who he is.
Copy !req
816. Why are you always hungry?
Copy !req
817. Fast metabolism.
Copy !req
818. I'm gonna go check this out.
Copy !req
819. - Tell Scare to move.
Copy !req
820. - He's not gonna move.
Copy !req
821. And you're under arrest.
Copy !req
822. Jen, tell Scare to move.
Copy !req
823. I don't wanna hurt him.
Copy !req
824. It's Abar. She wants you to move.
Copy !req
825. She says she doesn't wanna hurt you.
Copy !req
826. Fuck her!
Copy !req
827. You tell her she's under arrest?
Copy !req
828. - You crazy fucking bitch!
Copy !req
829. Fuck you!
Copy !req
830. Angela.
Copy !req
831. Are the kids asleep?
Copy !req
832. Yeah. You okay?
Copy !req
833. I'm fine.
Copy !req
834. I don't understand. What happened?
Copy !req
835. I came to see you,
Copy !req
836. but they wouldn't let me—
Copy !req
837. Cal, I need you to stop talking
Copy !req
838. and listen to me, okay?
Copy !req
839. Okay.
Copy !req
840. You're a great husband...
Copy !req
841. an amazing father.
Copy !req
842. You're the best friend I've ever had.
Copy !req
843. I love you.
Copy !req
844. I love you, too.
Copy !req
845. Time to come out of the tunnel.
Copy !req
846. What, uh...
Copy !req
847. - "Tunnel"?
Copy !req
848. - Don't be scared.
Copy !req
849. We talked about this.
Copy !req
850. And we always knew
Copy !req
851. that this day would come.
Copy !req
852. What day, Angela?
Copy !req
853. - I don't know what you're talking about.
Copy !req
854. - You do know.
Copy !req
855. You just don't remember.
Copy !req
856. Did we talk about this
Copy !req
857. before my accident?
Copy !req
858. There was no accident.
Copy !req
859. - What?
Copy !req
860. - It was a lie.
Copy !req
861. A lie so that we could be together.
Copy !req
862. At least for a while.
Copy !req
863. If it's any consolation,
Copy !req
864. it was your idea.
Copy !req
865. Honey, I don't know
Copy !req
866. what they did to you,
Copy !req
867. but I think the drug you took
Copy !req
868. is messing you up.
Copy !req
869. You're not yourself.
Copy !req
870. No, Jon.
Copy !req
871. You're not yourself.
Copy !req
872. My name is not Jon.
Copy !req
873. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
874. Hey, baby.
Copy !req
875. We're in fucking trouble.
Copy !req
