“Do you have any idea what it took for me to bring him here for this!?” Lady Trieu screams at Doctor Manhattan after he teleports Veidt away in the finale. Somehow, Lady Trieu was able to construct a ship designed to efficiently bring one person all the way back to Earth, and the round trip took only around 5 years? That’s pretty incredible by today’s standards, but given all of the advanced technology in Watchmen, it makes sense that Trieu would be able to pull this off. Using the Deep Space Network, the photos from Lady Trieu’s probe probably took less than a half-hour to reach Earth. (Using current real-life technology, even just a probe flying to Europa would take six years, but it seems Lady Trieu has developed a faster method of space travel.) His body is preserved in some kind of golden metal substance for the journey. He takes a moment to make a wish over his moldy cake from last year, and that’s when the ship arrives. 2017ĭuring a scene in the Season 1 finale, Lady Trieu’s spaceship arrives on Veidt’s eighth anniversary on Europa. He then spends the following year digging an escape tunnel with that horseshow. While in prison and reading Fogdancers during the Episode 8 post-credits scene, Veidt receives his anniversary cake with seven candles and a surprise horseshoe inside of it. The sequence involves Veidt farting in the courtroom and a surprising number of pigs, but the end result is that he’s sent to a prison cell in the manor. 2015Īfter Veidt is caught by the Game Warden, a ridiculous trial that lasts a full year finds him guilty. It also means that Veidt and Trieu’s conversation had to happen in late 2008 for all of this to occur in 2014. In 2008, Lady Trieu said the probe would fly by Europa in “5 years, 72 days,” which is the only reason why we know that the scenes on Europa in Episodes 4 and 5 take place in the same year. Soon thereafter, he’s pulled back into the estate and taken into custody by the Game Warden. He knows exactly when Lady Trieu’s space probe is set to fly by. After perfecting his space suit, Veidt has a small army of Crookshanks and Phillips launch him out of the atmospheric bubble into the vacuum of space on the moon’s surface where he assembles perhaps hundreds of bodies to spell out “SAVE ME DAUGHTER,” all the while frantically checking his watch. He then crafted another pair so they could help him launch all of the bodies into outer space.īreaking the mold a bit, Veidt’s Episode 5 scenes seemingly take place not long after his scenes from Episode 4. To celebrate his fourth anniversary in Episode 4, Veidt slaughters a room full of Phillips and Crookshanks copies. Veidt uses hundreds of bodies to spell out "SAVE ME DAUGHTER" on the surface of Europa. It fails, and we see that Phillips is frozen as if exposed to the vacuum of space.Īfter the Game Warden interrupts him while hunting and prevents him from skinning a buffalo, Veidt smashes the cake for his third anniversary that Phillips and Crookshanks present to him. Veidt spends his 2012 anniversary in Episode 3 designing and constructing a new space suit that he tests out on a Mr. 2011Įpisode 2 is the big debut of Veidt’s play about Doctor Manhattan’s origin story that climaxes with him burning a Mr. In Episode 1, Veidt comes back to the manor on Europa following a leisurely ride on a horse to celebrate his one-year anniversary by writing a play while naked. We see Manhattan teleport Veidt away, so we know that this is the start of his adventures as Lord of the Manor. It’s also when Veidt gives Manhattan the device that subdues his powers. This is when Manhattan offers Veidt the chance to go to Europa, referring to it as a utopia. Six months after Doctor Manhattan first met Angela in a Vietnam bar, he visits Veidt in Antarctica. Veidt presents Doctor Manhattan with a device that can subdue his powers. She also reveals that her space probe should reach Europe to take photos in “exactly 5 years, 72 days, 9 hours, and 17 minutes.” Remember that number because it’s very important. Lady Trieu reveals herself to Veidt at his Antarctic facility and explains that Doctor Manhattan emits a specific radioactive frequency that her subspace antenna detected on Europa. Bian then gave birth to the woman that would grow up to become Lady Trieu, and then Trieu in turn cloned her mother and used the Nostalgia drug to let her reacquire memories from her previous life. On this same day, a Vietnamese refugee named Bian who worked as a cleaning woman in Veidt’s Antactic facility injected herself with a sample of his semen. The day before Veidt teleported a giant squid on top of New York City, killing 3 million people in the original Watchmen graphic novel, he recorded a message to President Redford that the Seventh Cavalry acquired at some point before the present day. Veidt recorded a message for President Redford.
