DET. GALLAGHER (CONT'D)
You see this?
He picks up a PHOTO from the floor, hands it to Fine.
DET. GALLAGHER (CONT'D)
Shaking hands with the President.
DET. FINE
You're saying this guy was a spook? You
think this might be a political murder?
DET. GALLAGHER
I think that this is way bigger
than the both of us.
He leaves Det. Fine to ponder this.
EXT. STREET - LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING
Outside Blake's apartment building. It's later now, the news
stand is closed, businesses closed, people gone.
We move into someone's POV. The person stares up at the
broken window of Blake's apartment, now covered with PLASTIC
SHEETING.
RORSCHACH (V.0.)
Rorschach's Journal, October 12th.
Earlier today I came across what appeared
to be a suicide. It was later learned to
be a homicide. Someone's time was up.
Still in POV, we see the person pull something from his
pocket--the happy face pin. We realize that this was the
person whose POV we were in earlier.
RORSCHACH (V.0.) (CONT'D)
I discovered a clue. Something I
recognized. And suddenly, unexpectedly
. I heard my own clock ticking.
We move out of the POV and see our guy for the first time--
RORSCHACH (roar-shock)--a masked vigilante who wears a trench
coat, fedora, and a silver-white MASK with oily BLACK SPOTS
moving about, creating shifting, doubled PATTERNS like a
Rorschach test. Scary looking.
Rorschach draws a hydraulic GRAPPLING GUN from his coat, and
FIRES the HOOK AND CABLE THIRTY STORIES UP where it latches
itself through Blake's broken window. Pressing RETRACT,
Rorschach FLIES UP THE WALL to the 30th floor.

INT. EDWARD BLAKE'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - LATE NIGHT
With a grunt, Rorschach pulls himself past the plastic
sheeting, through the window, and into Blake's apartment. He
investigates, silent. He sees the same things that the cops
saw . . but he notices the speakers by the TV. Notices one
of the speaker covers is ever so slightly askew.
Rorschach pulls the speaker cover off and discovers that the
speaker was hollow. (The Intruder clearly took Blake's gun
and put the cover back on when he left. Why?)
