Following last week's premiere episode of the Watchmen, the second episode opens with Angela Abar finding Chief Judd Crawford hanging from a tree - with the man in a wheelchair that she had spoken to earlier in the day nearby. She immediately wheels the man back to her bakery where she begins to interrogate him and where she finds a piece of paper that says "Watch over this boy". If you recall, this was given to the young boy who survived the Tulsa Massacre by his father in episode one's opening scene.
At first, the man is adamant that he's the one who hung the Chief, even saying that he was Dr. Manhattan in another form - hence the ability to hang the chief despite his being in a wheelchair. Understandably, Angela finds this hard to believe since Dr. Manhattan is on Mars. She offers him a cup of coffee - which she then uses the cup to get the man's DNA. She continues to question the man, increasingly getting agitated as he seemingly refuses to give her a straight answer - to which he says that he's already told her who he was, but she wasn't listening. He then asks her, "Who are you?". The questioning is cut short when she recieves a call that the police have found Chief Judd's body.
She leaves the man at the bakery and makes her way back to the crime scene where she finds out that Chief Judd has suffered terribly throughout the events leading up to his death. A number of events happen - but I won't go into detail, I don't want to spoil the show that much for you. So, back to the man in the wheelchair we go. She finds a DNA machine and proceeds to submit the man's sample taken from the cup that he drank from earlier.
She goes back to the bakery to find out that the man had left, but returned because they "weren't done talking". As she stares at him in disbelief, she receives a phone call about the DNA results and finds out that the man in the wheelchair is her grandfather! In shock, she looks at him and the man tells her that he's ready to answer whatever questions she might have. She wheels him out to her car, puts him in the passenger seat, and as she's about to put his wheel chair in the back - a space craft with a huge magnet picks up the car and carries the car and the man away.
All throughout, the man seemed calm and watched Angela from the sideview mirror. The episode ends with Angela lying down on the parking lot, in shock over what had just happened. Why was her grandfather taken away? Was he really her grandfather? Did someone not want him talking to Angela? Viewers are left with so many questions - but we'll have to keep watching to find out the answers.
