The 7th Kavalry, a supremacist group, emerges from hiding with a plan that threatens the world. And somewhere, the Lord of the Manor writes a play as squids rain down from the sky. A silent movie plays of a sheriff being pursued by a man in a mask and cape. The man finally lassos Bass and pulls him from his horse. The congregation comes out from a nearby church and the preacher asks the masked man what he’s done to their sheriff. The masked man says that the sheriff is a scoundrel who stole their cattle and doesn’t deserve his badge. When the preacher wonders who the stranger is, the stranger removes his mask to reveal that he’s Bass Reeves, the Black Marshal of Oklahoma. Tulsa, 1921 — A young black boy sits in the theater and watches the movie, and mouths along with Bass on the screen as he says that they won’t resort to mob violence. A siren sounds outside and the woman playing the piano breaks into tears. The building shakes and the woman runs to her son. The father comes in, gives his gun to his wife, picks up his son, and says that they have to go. 3 Watchmen Episode Guide Outside, people panic and run through the streets. A plane flies overhead, gun- ning down blacks. White-robed men back blacks up against a truck, and the family watches as people burn down stores. The family runs down a side street and duck into an autoshop, and the blacks inside tell them that there isn’t any room for them. The father says that they should take his son, and the mother tells her son that it will be okay and they’ll be right be- hind him. After writing a note, the father gives it to his son and puts it in his pocket as he puts the boy in the car. He tells his son to be strong and the car drives off. Bullets go through the crate the boy is hiding in, and he looks out to see more whites dragging dead blacks down the street. Behind him, the autoshop blows up as plane drops a bomb on it. Later, the boy wakes up on grass and sits up. The car is on its side and the mechanic and his wife are shot dead. The boy checks the note, which says, ”Watch over this boy”, then puts it back in his pocket. The dead blacks’ baby cries, and the boy picks it up, says that she’s okay, and walks away as Tulsa burns behind him. Now — A man drives down the highway, and a police car pulls him over. The driver pulls over and the police car pulls up behind them. An officer comes over and asks the driver, Carmichael, if he consents to their interaction being recorded. Carmichael agrees and says that he’s hauling lettuce, and asks to look at the officers face. The masked officer takes offense and Carmichael apologizes. The officer asks for Carmichael’s license and registration, and Carmichael slowly takes them out from the glove compartment and hands them over. Back in his car, the officer– Charlie Sutton–removes his mask and calls in. Panda comes on the line, and Charlie tells him that he made a traffic stop and he saw Kavalry contraband in his truck. Charlie reaches for his gun, locked in, and requests for its release. Panda asks for details and Charlie says that he saw a Rorschach mask. The other officer asks for the probability of drugs, alcohol, and explosives in the truck, and Charlie says that the probability is high. Charlie insists that the threat level is high, and Panda hits the buzzer. The lock finally releases, and Carmichael opens fire through the windshield, wounding Charlie. Carmichael, wearing the Rorschach mask, tosses a head of lettuce from his truck through the shattered windshield and gets in his truck. An audience watches a production of Oklahoma. All of the cast and much of the audience is black, and Judd and Jane Crawford are in the audience. A police officer comes in and tells Judd about the shooting, and Judd excuses himself. He goes to the hospital where Charlie is in a hospital bed. Judd sends the nurse to wait outside and has the watching detective, Looking Glass, confirm that he’s run a background check on the hospital staff. Later, Looking Glass tells Judd that they’re searching for Carmichael but they’re unlikely to find him. He figures the Kavalry was involved and asks if Judd wants him to call in Red Scare and Knight. Judd tells Looking Glass to let them sleep and wonders why the Kavalry is starting things up again. Looking Glass says that there was a head of romaine lettuce in the police car, and Judd checks his newly-donned uniform in the reflection of Looking Glass’ mask. Judd goes to the Sutton house and tells Roberta Sutton about her husband’s injury. He says that they’re going to move Charlie to their secure medical facility after he’s out of surgery, and asks if Charlie told anyone that he’s police. Roberta points out that doing so is against the rules and insists that he didn’t, and he said he was going to night school for engineering. Judd says that they’ll claim it was a carjacking and it keeps everyone safe, and Roberta tells him that Charlie liked him. The next day at Career Day, Angela Abar demonstrates cooking for her son’s class. The chil- dren eat the Vietnamese treats that Angela has provided, and the teacher Ms. Sweetwater asks if she was born in the U.S. before Vietnam became a state. Angela says that it was a couple of years before, and her son Topher glares at her. She tells the class that she moved to Tulsa and 4 Watchmen Episode Guide became a police officer for awhile and then retired. When a student asks why, Angela says that she was one of the cops who were attacked on the White Night. The criminals knew where she lived, came to her house, and shot her. As Angela describes how she was shot, Ms. Sweetwater interrupts and Angela says that cooking was better than being shot. Another student, Tommy, asks if Angela paid for her bakery with Redfordations, and Topher attacks him. Later, Angela drives Topher home and asks her son why he hit Tommy. Topher figures that Angela wanted to hit Tommy and says that he’s a racist. Sirens go off and everyone pulls over, and miniature squid rain down from the sky. Once the storm is over, Angela gets out and cleans off the windshield.
