word of advice : SPOILERS for HBO’sWatchmen .
HBO’sWatchmenhas reassert that Adrian Veidt ( Jeremy Irons ) is being held in a kind of prison house - but where is he ? Ozymandias and his predicament have been the most cryptical - and increasingly eccentric - scene of the TV series create by Damon Lindelof . At first , Watchmenplayed coy withVeidt ’s identityuntil last calendar week ’s instalment , " She Was kill By Space Junk " , confirm that Jeremy Irons is indeed play the villain of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons ' in writing novel .
InWatchmenepisode 4 , " If You Do n’t Like My history , compose Your Own " , Veidt has now made clear that he ’s a prisoner and that his strange military action have been geared towards engineering his leak . We know that Ozymandias is surrounded by clones of his only two companions , hisbutler Mr. Phillips(Tom Mison ) and his amah Ms. Crookshanks ( Sara Vickers ) . We also have a go at it that he has a scourge of sorts who watch over him in his captivity , an puzzling figure called theGame Warden . By Veidt ’s enumeration , he has been held in captivity for four years ( although inWatchmen ’s outside worldly concern , Ozymandias was missing for 7 years before he was officially declared " deadened " ) . By Adrian ’s own entrance fee , he thought his prison house was"a paradise"at first but now he ’s desperate to get a means to exemption . But Veidt is shout the World ’s Smartest Man for a reason and he ’s been utilizing whatever resources are available to him to escape - including the body of his cloned handmaid who he slaughtered .

So , the trillion - dollar question - which is the net worth of Lady Trieu ( Hong Chau ) , who buy Veidt ’s party - is whereisAdrian Veidt ’s prison ? Since this isWatchmen , a universe whereDoctor Manhattanexists , even the most outlandish theory is n’t necessarily out of the question , but the first and most obvious option is that Veidt is being held somewhere on Earth . Adrian ’s country manor house and its surround surround , which look like the United Kingdom , certainly resemble Earth . Veidt rides horse cavalry , produce tomatoes , and he has all of the comforts of home ( except the exemption to allow ) . It ’s potential Veidt is somewhere on Earth but isolate by a kind of invisible roadblock , one that he has now proven he can sling clone corpses through .
But then again , it ’s also possible Veidt ’s prison is an unreal environment that ’s only made to look like Earth . There are a few cue target to the fact that Veidt is n’t really on the third rock from the sun . The first pernicious indication is that inWatchmen ’s premiere episode , Doctor Manhattan is shown on Marsdemolishing a concept that looks exactly like the castle Veidt lives in . This could steer to the blue super being as Veidt ’s jailer . There ’s also the fact that Veidt has been plan a makeshift environmental suit he needs to hold out extreme frigidness - could it be a Boche - rigged outer space suit that Veidt plans to hold out himself that he tested on the hapless Mr. Phillips ?
So , if Ozymandias is n’t on Earth , then where is he ? Veidt might be held on the moonshine , impart the way the vista passage by irising on Earth ’s artificial satellite . But if Doctor Manhattan and outer space are involved then it ’s quite possible that Adrian Veidt is immure somewhere on Mars , where Manhattan resides . When he spring up his replacement clones of Phillips and Crookshanks , Veidt lamented them as"flaws in this thoughtless design"and take that he ’s their master but"not their maker " . At theend of theWatchmengraphic novel , Doctor Manhattan indicate his design to create life of his own - Veidt could very well be surrounded by Manhattan ’s experiment at recreate God and he ’s simply not impressed by these so - call human replicas .
A final possibility is that Adrian Veidt is incarcerate in another dimension . The world still trust that they were attacked by agiant squidin 1985 and that the squid rain that has been happening since come from a separate proportion . However , the giant squid was a hoax by Ozymandias so there may not actually be other dimensions inWatchmen ’s macrocosm . And yet , it ’s most likely that Adrian Veidt ’s prison is somewhere not on Earth - yet somehow hightail it is just within mangonel reach . While this sounds ridiculous , anything is possible inWatchmen .
