Night Watch (Discworld)	comment	The 27th Discworld novel and the sixth in the Watch theme. The framing events take place at the same time (such as it is) as the previous novel Thief of Time and also set up events for the following novel Monstrous Regiment. The Watch is on the hunt for a serial killer named Carcer, who has murdered Sergeant Stronginthearm. Vimes has him trapped on the University Library's roof, but when a lightning boltnote the same time altering one from Thief of Time strikes, it causes a freak magical incident that catapults Vimes and Carcer thirty years back in time. Vimes soon inadvertently steps into the shoes of his old mentor, John Keelnote named for the writer and researcher of The Mothman Prophecies and lands himself right in the middle of the Ankh-Morpork civil war. Now he has to stop Carcer, fill his mentor's role in his younger self's life, and protect the citizens of Ankh-Morpork and his fellow Watchmen from the impending war. Except that if he succeeds, he will no longer be able to return to his timeline. Basically Life On Mars meets Les MisÃ©rables.This novel is hailed by both fans and critics as one of the best installments of the series despite, or maybe because of, its much darker than usual tone, with fewer obvious jokes (though there's still plenty) and a more serious story than previous installments.A five-part BBC radio adaptation, starring Philip Jackson (best known as Chief Inspector Japp from TV's Poirot) as Sam Vimes and Carl Prekopp as Young Sam, was first broadcast in 2008.Should not be confused with the Night Watch series of books by Sergei Lukyanenko, or its film adaptation, or the Night's Watch. The front cover art by Paul Kidby is a homage to Rembrandt's famous 1642 painting The Shooting Company of Frans Banning Cocq, also commonly referred to as The Night Watch, a reproduction of which adorns the back cover in the Hardcover edition. This is the first cover by Kidby, who took over the role of cover artist after the death of Josh Kirby.Preceded by Thief of Time, followed by Monstrous Regiment. Preceded in the Watch series by The Fifth Elephant, followed by Thud!.

Night Watch (Discworld) / int_1439161f	comment	Heroic BSoD: A brief one, but when Vimes realizes that doing everything he can for the people behind the barricades might mean that all his friends, and his wife and unborn son, might never exist, it's not a good day to be him. Reg Shoe also has one when he realizes that the revolution he wanted so badly has only served to put an equally corrupt ruler in power. He sits dejectedly on a cart for a few minutes, then snaps into a rage so powerful not even getting killed can stop him. The bit when Vimes is sitting helpless, staring blankly at a mirror as his son is born; this even shuts down his internal watchman, revealed in later books to be more powerful than a thousand year old pan-dimensional being of pure vengeance. Vimes has an extremely powerful one right when heâ€™s ordered by Rust to take down the barricade. As he starts to tell the people behind the barricade that they shouldn't take the law into their own hands, he realizes suddenly that he has no idea what the law was at that moment. The feeling of despair and disconnection is so powerful in brings Vimes to his knees. Thankfully, the Time Monks show up at that very moment to provide him with the Heroic Reboot Key, a connection to the future that seems so distant: his silver cigar case.

Vimes doesn't make any particular effort to imitate him, except insofar as it allows him to take the man's place, and muses on whether he was really a revolutionary or just (like Vimes himself) swept up in events, so it's unclear what Keel was really like in the original timeline.

He walks right up to him as the crowded hall ignores his presence, and Patrician Winder thinks that this isn't how assassins really operate: this is what happens in dreams. The Assassin's Guild in Discworld always wears the stereotypical ninja black clothes on the job. Vetinari shows the readers how much smarter he is when he reads a book on animal camouflage and goes for more appropriate clothes when they are called for. Downey shows how he isn't a match for Vetinari by burning the book instead of reading it and Vetinari shows what a Magnificent Bastard he is by having destroyed nearly every other copy of the book so no-one else can learn from it.

John Keel couldnâ€™t have been a revolutionary because neither known revolutionaries like CMOT Dibbler, Lady Roberta Meserole, Rosie Palm or Ned Coates had included him in their plans before he came to town and Keel sure as hell wasn't aware of the Morphic Street Conspiracy. The best explanation is that Keel was a rebel sympathizer and that Ned Coates convinced him to support the barricades when the riots started out.

He's still well enough known for his death at Carcer's hands to be a shock. Also, Ned Coates. A cynical badass watchman who seems to be on the inside with the real revolution, he seemingly opts out in the middle of the book, comes back to be a big help in the end... and then in the very last pages we learn that he died during the clash between the Watch and Carcer's men. Don't forget Sergeant Dai Dickins, introduced late in the book as another defector to the barricades, who quickly becomes part of Vimes' inner circle, and inadvertently introduces young Sam to "All the Little Angels." He dies in the final skirmish with Snapcase's men under Carcer.

They know it's working when a trickle of yellow liquid appears in the rooms' shared guttering. Vimes fondly recalls a time when he was on patrol and stood so unobtrusively that a thief fleeing some other guards hid in the same patch of shadow and leaned on Vimes while catching his breath. His reaction when Vimes suddenly made his presence known was to do "in his trousers what his dear mother, some forty years before, had very patiently taught him not to do."

But when she sees Snapcase turn around and order his death despite the amnesty she's so disgusted she orders Vetinari to protect Keel, and he happily obliges. The Night Watch aren't above accepting bribes and engaging in the occasional bit of police brutality. The Unmentionables' behaviour makes them very uncomfortable, though. Similarly, the Watch don't have many standards even amongst themselves, but you do not drop your mates in the cacky; i.e. you don't sell them out to a superior officer.

Night Watch (Discworld) / int_4de1a4f7	comment	Improvised Weapon: When Lord Venturi expresses annoyance that his troops are being beaten by unarmed civilians and old veterans with garden forks, his lieutenant has trouble explaining that garden forks can do a lot of damage when hurled down from twenty feet, and that "unarmed civilian" is stretching the term quite a bit when the civilian in question is a 200-pound slaughterhouse worker with a flensing knife in one hand and a meathook in the other. During the final confrontation with Captain Swing, Vimes ends up weaponless, but gets hold of a yard-long steel ruler. He slaps Swing's sword aside with the forestroke, and brings the tip of it—the sharp tip—across Swing's throat on the backstroke.

Then Vimes rushes across the road toward him — and nearly gets run down by another cart because he's too busy keeping Lu-Tze in sight to pay attention to the traffic. When he recovers, Lu-Tze is gone.

In a typical Pratchett twist, Swing is now working for the other side. Carcer is Latin for "prison", where he's certainly bound. And it's only one letter away from 'cancer', which is an accurate description of his effect on Ankh-Morpork, especially if Vimes leaves him in the past. Snouty's name comes from his nose having been broken when he was younger, and it never quite set properly. The keel of a boat is essentially its backbone; it's what the rest of the boat is built around. A fitting surname for John Keel, who acts as the foundation of the Watch.

Lu-Tze himself is also a good example (being quite literally a sweeper), not having an official position with the History Monks but being possibly the best one and as such the perfect person to take care of those jobs that need to be done but can't be done officially because of politics.

Carcer is immediately established as a ruthless killer rather than a run-of-the-mill thug when he is first mentioned murdering an off duty officer who bumped into him by chance and didn't even recognize him.

The first thing Vimes does when he becomes Sergeant-at-Arms of his station is bring this system to the ground, release the people he's captured and make himself a reputation in the process. It's also noted the curfew is more harshly enforced in the poorer parts of the city, rather than in the richer Ankh, whose inhabitants can afford their own security.

There's a long pause and some mumbling while everyone runs that sentence through their heads again and decides that, yes, it's the stupidest battle cry they've ever heard. Finally, Carcer just shouts, "Wrong!" and shoots him. Then again, given what the audience already knows about Reg Shoe, it's also the literal truth, and he responds to it by punching his aggressors in the face and fighting bravely before eventually realizing he's dead.

Night Watch (Discworld) / int_82b1fd4f	comment	World Half Full: Past Ankh-Morpork sucks even worse than present, with insane rulers, tyrannical and cruel authorities and even more rampant crime. Vimes repeatedly calls the Watch "just another gang" in his monologues. And he's explicitly told upfront that he canâ€™t, canâ€™t change any major events, such as a clearly pointless war borne of the Patrician's insanity which will last just long enough to kill many innocent people, or the deaths of many watchmen. However, rather than sitting there and taking it, he makes efforts to reform the watch, prevents a bloodbath on Morphic Street, and changes history by holding his barricade through the entire night when the original Keel failed halfway through, reducing his side's casualties to perhaps a dozen (during the battle, anyway). And he takes down Carcer in the most lawful way possible.

So it should be no surprise that the initial defiant cry of "Death to the fascist oppressors!" from behind the original Whalebone Lane barricade (probably also uttered by Reg Shoe) gets quickly amended to "Death to the fascist oppressors, present company excepted! All right, is everybody happy now?"

Vimes orders his Watch House to light the lamp over the door, then sits outside waiting for the angry mob with a cigar and a mug of cocoa — making a point to hold them in both hands when a drunk hothead gets in his face and looks for an excuse to fight. That way, nobody can misremember him as having assaulted the man when the drunk attempts to invoke Grievous Bottley Harm and winds up with a fistful of broken glass instead.

It's reflected by Vimes that, in a time of chaos, those who remain firm and authoritative and full of conviction can rise to the top very quickly and dictate major events. Which is of course very similar to how "revolutions" can sometimes succeed despite what seem like titanic odds. Justified when Carcer points out that while watchmen must be known to be watchmen to be able to do their jobs, it's actually quite beneficial to the criminal if no one knows they're a criminal.

In the regular timeline, the resistance put on the barricades but failed to defend against a sneak attack, resulting in the deaths of the 7 men in the cemetery of Small Gods. When Vimes goes back in time and is tasked to fix Carcer's alterations, heâ€™s left with the choice of either doing everything he can to prevent the death of the rebels or doing almost nothing so he could return to his timeline and get back to his wife and unborn child. Vimes manages to organize the barricades and defend against the attacks. But the revolution fouls up and the new Patrician sends the newly promoted Captain Carcer and his squad of rogue guards to murder Vimes and his men. Cornered, Vimes orders his men to retreat but his companions decide to stay and help him bring down Carcer despite their slim chances of survival. In the end, Vimes manages to bring down Carcer but not without casualties on his side, resulting in the end in the death of the same 7 men that died in the original timeline. In the end, Vimes could not prevent the death of these 7 men but he didn't have to. In the end, they willingly put their lives on the line in both timelines for something they thought was important.

Like present-day Fred Colon, Knock is an older, incompetent, cowardly fat man but without any of Fred's redeeming qualities, and is corrupt to the core whereas Quirke is presented as an efficient version of Nobby without the amiable incompetence, as well as "bullying, brown-nosing, and a delight in small evils". They also have the same ranks as Colon and Nobby do in the present.

A literal example when Vimes spots someone hiding in a doorway because their black clothing makes the shadows too dark. This is reflected later in the story, in young Vetinari's decisions on clothing. Right at the start of the book, the Assassins' Guild's penchant for Honor Before Reason is established with the student's conversation with Vimes. This comes in to play much later on in the book, as to why they fail so often to kill Winder.

Here we find out Vimes got caught up in it, a fact Lu-Tze feels rather guilty about. The Night Watch is based at the old watch house that the dragon burned down in Guards! Guards!, Leggy Gaskin from the same book is a young watchman and Vetinari's aunt briefly mentioned by Vimes now appears as a main character, Vimes has a run-in with future Captain Quirke from Men at Arms and is responsible for him transferring to the Day Watch. The Mended Drum is called the Broken Drum (as it was in The Colour of Magic). Sergeant Colon previously mentioned remembering Vetinari's predecessors Lord Snapcase and Lord Winder in Jingo. Early on, Vimes tries going to the wizards in the past for help. Lu-Tze discourages him by pointing out they are not Ridcully's bunch of old duffers. The wizards of thirty years ago are the arrogant, vicious, murderous bastard kind of wizards from the pre-Moving Pictures books, so Vimes will be lucky if the worst they do is laugh at him (and without wizards like Ponder Stibbons, they wouldn't be able to help anyway). Mention is made once again of the neighbourhood Vimes grew up in, Cockbill Street, and how it had Standards, as brought up in Feet of Clay. Lu-Tze is still apparently quoting Ms. Cosmopolite and treating her common sayings as profound knowledge. Young Vimes has a tendency to speak without thinking, a tendency noted to be part of the reason his future self is in the way he's in at the beginning of Guards, Guards.

"... uphold the Laws and Ordinances of the city of Ankh-Morpork comma serve the public trust comma and defend the subjects of His stroke Her bracket delete whichever is inappropriate bracket Majesty bracket name of reigning monarch bracket..." Nothing in there about obeying orders. It also doesn't say anything about serving or defending the ruler (King, Queen, or otherwise). Just the public. Vimes also pulls an Obstructive Bureaucrat on Unmentionables with paperwork to sign when he has to hand over curfew breakers to them. The Unmentionables are expectantly uncooperative and Vimes gets them off the hook. Also, one of the reactions of the coppers to Vimes insisting they do things by the book. They get very precise. "Obeying Orders To The Letter, With Gleeful Malignancy."

This is a reference to a reality in which young Sam Vimes is given guidance by Carcer, if old Sam fails. Hence the as he is now instead of just there is no universe. That Sam recognizes this on some level is alluded to in other parts of the novel.

Vimes finds he has three hitmen in custody, two of whom are thoroughly professional but the third is a showoffy twerp that Vimes has dubbed "Ferret" for his weaselly demeanor. So, in a disturbing scene looking like actual torture, Vimes and his men drag the corpse of another hitman to the backroom in front of them, then drags the two pro hitmen there but leave the door open so that the impressionable Ferret can hear all the screaming when Vimes performs the "Ginger Beer Trick". When it came to Ferret's turn, the guy immediately spilled his guts and Vimes manages to get a written and signed confession that they had been staging riots. Then Vimes reveals that not only was the screaming staged and the two pro hitmen were simply bound, gagged and in perfect health but that the two pro hitmen had been listening to Ferret's entire confession and were now livid with rage at him. Ferret starts doing some mental arithmetic, then demands protective custody.

Night Watch (Discworld) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: To John A. Keel, writer of The Mothman Prophecies. But the name was almost certainly also a shout-out to Sir Robert Peel, the Father of Modern English Policing, who founded the Metropolitan Police Service. As the book is Discworld's take on Les MisÃ©rables, this is to be expected... but honestly, Gavroche's parallel turning out to be young Nobby Nobbs is somewhat unexpected. On the other hand, Reg Shoe as [ZOMBIE] Enjolras is made of all kinds of win. Carcer even claims to have only stolen a loaf of bread. Qu, the history monks' Gadgeteer Genius, is a parody of James Bond's Q. We're introduced to him in a scene that pays homage to Desmond Llewelyn's iconic portrayal, including funny background events of his creations being tested out, gadgets going slightly wrong, his general air of peevish exasperation, and even a borrowed catchphrase or two ("Please pay attention!"). This was not lost on Jon Culshaw when he narrated the 2023 audiobook, with Qu's voice being a very definite impression of Desmond Llewelyn's Q. Also contains a shoutout to Braveheart with the worst battlecry ever: "You may take our lives but you'll never take our freedom." Major Clive Mountjoy-Standfast is a possible reference to The Duke of Wellington as he was born in Quirm but considers himself a patriotic Ankh-Morporkian, just like how Arthur Wellesley was born in Ireland but thought of as the greatest English general of all time. The "...and a hardboiled egg" addendum to the revolutionaries' demands is likely a reference to "...and two hardboiled eggs" from A Night at the Opera, which already had a more obvious reference to it in Soul Music. Dickins of Llamedos is a retired army sergeant from the Discworld equivalent of Wales, who is obsessed with military history - could he be any relation to Fluellen in Henry V, who is also a Welsh army officer obsessed with military history? Arguably the City Watch series in general could be seen as an alternative outworking of Henry IV and Henry V, with Vimes and Carrot offering alternative pictures of what Hal might have done if he had learned to be a hero without becoming king and without rejecting his former friends. The stoic Welsh sergeant in Zulu - a man who also defended a barricaded position against overwhelming odds - also emerges as a correspondence. Captain Findthee Swing also has a lot of correspondences with the deranged secret policeman Lieutenant Verkramp in Tom Sharpe's Indecent Exposure and Riotous Assembly. Verkramp is also borderline insane with an obsession with how far racial impurity in White South Africans can be measured and quantified - a big deal in The Apartheid Era - and also works for a controlling and pernicious secret police force which routinely tortures political suspects (BOSS). Twice, Vimes asks "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?" The second time gets the unheard answer ME. On returning back to his own time, Sam thinks that time-travel should look a little more impressive, like a swirling blue tunnel or something. When Downey throws Vetinari's book on camouflage into the fire, the narration notes that the tiger briefly burns brightly. One too many statements taken at face value by his naÃ¯ve younger self has Vimes musing that dark sarcasm should be taught in schools. After Snapcase plots to have Keel killed, Mr. Slant recalls an old saying: Ave! Duci novi, similis duci seneci! Or "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." The declaration of The People's Republic of Treacle Mine Road — Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg! — is likely a nod to the Arc Words of Moulin Rouge!: "This story is about beauty, freedom, truth, and above all things, love."

Night Watch (Discworld) / int_dca70c44	comment	Reasonable Authority Figure: Vimes, of course, but also: The Abbot of the History Monks. He absolutely forbids Lu Tze to do what he's going to do, but follows it up by acknowledging that when he does, itâ€™ll probably be for the best. The unnamed Captain who met Vimes's barricades during his patrol. Despite the fact that all barricades were ordered to be pulled down, he took time to understand the situation and listened to Vimes's argument that the area behind was much safer than the so called safe zones and eventually filed a report to his superiors that basically told them to ignore this area, estimating that the situation would resolve itself. Major Clive Mountjoy-Standfast and Captain Tom Wrangle. They were the military officers in charge of pacifying the streets and were both decent, reasonable and competent men (well, for a given value of "competent" in Clive's case). Shame that they had to take orders from Carcer.

Night Watch (Discworld) / int_df0fdac4	comment	Clueless Boss: Captain Tilden is a decent man who does his best, but sadly his best isn't very good when it comes to law enforcement (he was a career soldier). Vimes failed to recognise this at the time but it's clear to his older, more experienced self. This really gets shown when Tilden is abruptly relieved of command: the younger version of Vimes is outraged that the well-meaning Tilden is removed, while the older Vimes now knows that Tilden is horribly out of place as a police captain and way behind the times, and essentially thinks that Tilden is a nice old man who's better off out of the way of the chaos that is about to unfold.

Night Watch (Discworld) / int_e2f7ab99	comment	Assassin Outclassin': An assassin sent after "Keel" comes clattering down in front of a tense crowd, having been struck by an unidentified assailant (young Vetinari). Winder's paranoia means that after eleven years the Assassins Guild have had no luck getting to him, which he's naturally proud of. Subverted in the most anticlimactic way the Discworld could muster. Winder is so paranoid that when an assassin, (young Vetinari, again) walks up to him in a crowded room, in full plain sight, he has a heart attack before Havelock can even draw his blade. Vetinari realizes this, sheathes it, and merely... pushes Winder over. Vimes' house and paranoia has made it practically impossible for Assassins-in-training to get to him, being littered with fakeout Death Traps.

Vimes had always been shown to be brutal and devious and was always on the edge of releasing the beast; that part of him that never forgave the atrocities of the Unmentionables and which is the collected form all of his fears and rage. But encountering Young Vimes directly reminded him of his ideals and caused him to rethink his actions such as when they freed the prisoners from the Unmentionables:

Night Watch (Discworld) / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: Vimes accidentally inspires Cut-Me-Own-Throat-Dibbler's Character Catchphrase, establishing a Stable Time Loop. More cynically, the new would-be ruler Snapcase is spoken of with praise by some characters... both Vimes and the readers know that he will become Mad Lord Snapcase and be hung up by his figgin. Another particularly ironic one happens when Vetinari arrives to assassinate Lord Winder. Winder asks the assassin who he is, and Vetinari answers poetically "Think of me as... your future." While he presumably didn't intend it at the time, Vetinari would become Patrician after the death of Winder's replacement, Lord Snapcase. Related to Vetinari, he makes a polite enquiry about the Assassin Guild doorman's son, a precursor to how in the future he makes a point of knowing about the guild heads' families. Madame Meserole makes a point of getting "Keel" angry to see where he goes, just as her nephew will.
