your chief of police up.

There's a vast and insidious
conspiracy here in Tulsa.

WOMAN: There's this guy,

He's really good at it.

He's a real master of his craft

because he's precise.

Every brick has its place.

♪ ♪

Anyway, this guy has a daughter

and he's gonna teach her
to be a bricklayer,

because, after all,
all a man has is his legacy.

So Dad decides to build
a barbecue in the backyard.

He does the math,
he figures out exactly what he needs,

and he shows the daughter
how to do everything,

step-by-step.

And when he finishes,
it's a beauty.

It's a perfect barbecue,

just the way he drew it
in the blueprints.

Only one problem...

There's a brick left over.

One... single... brick.

The guy freaks out.

He must've done something wrong.

He's going to have to
start all over again.

So he picks up his sledgehammer
to knock the thing to pieces

and suddenly his daughter says,
"Daddy, wait. I have an idea."

She picks up the orphan brick

and she throws it
up into the air...

as high as she can.

Uh-huh.
What am I investigating?

- Chief of police got hung.
- Hanged. You knew him?

A little.
He was a good man.

His wife ran my senate campaign.

Folks assume
the Seventh Kavalry did it.

But that's not what you assume.

7K always takes credit
when they kill a cop,

but not a peep
from them on this.

You think it was a vigilante?

- Sure could be.
- Why?

Call it professional jealousy.

Vigilantes already see
cops as the enemy.

Now they got mask envy on top.

Well, maybe you shouldn't have
put the cops in masks, Joe.

It works.

Crime's down 80% in Tulsa
since we passed DOPA.

- And other cities...
- You called it DOPA?

The Defense of Police Act.

And it's such a great
acronym that other cities

wanna jump on board
and pilot it.

Atlanta, New Orleans,
even goddamn Denver.

Masks save lives.

My reputation,
my name is built on that idea.

Now, those cops have kept the
peace down there for three years,

and now someone's
trying to start a war.

And if they do,
it all goes to shit.

And you don't get to be president.

You know, Laurie...

the president can pardon

Anybody.

He could even get
your owl out of that cage.

BLAKE: Okay. Forget the brick.
New joke.

Three heroes die, and they all
show up at the pearly gates.

God's there to decide what
their eternal fate shall be.

Heaven... or Hell.

Our first hero is
dressed up like a big owl.

And God says to him,
"I gifted you

"the ability to make
fantastic inventions.

What did you do
with this amazing talent?"

And Owl Guy says, "I made
this really awesome flying ship

"and lots of cool
outfits and weapons,

so that I could bring
peace to the city."

God asks, "So how many
people did you kill?"

Owl Guy seems offended.

"Zero," he says,
I didn't take a single life."

God frowns.
"Sorry, Owl Guy.

"Your heart's
in the right place,

but you're just too soft."

And God snaps his fingers.

(SNAPS)

And the hero goes to Hell.

DEPUTY DIRECTOR: Seventh Kavalry.

Apparently, it's a Custer's Last
Stand thing, but who gives a shit.

They're just the Klan
with different masks.

They first popped up after the Victims
of Racial Violence Act was passed.

African-Americans come to Tulsa
to claim their benefits,

they buy land, start businesses.

And we all know how
accommodating white folks are

when people of color
dare to prosper.

But in Robbie Redford's America,

the cops protect everybody,
so they push back.

They ID everyone in Tulsa
who's supremacist-adjacent,

search their houses,
take their guns...

even the grandfathered ones.

But obviously,
they missed a few...

What the hell is this?

Oh, it's, uh... an excerpt
from Rorschach's journal.

The Kavalry wears his mask, sir.

I just thought, for, uh,
psychological context,

- you might want to...
- Is it the 1980s, Petey?

Uh, mm-mm, no sir.

Then who gives a shit
about Rorschach?

Next slide.

Coordinated simultaneous attacks
at the homes of Tulsa PD.

Not just the cops,
their families, too.

Only a few survivors,
including Judd Crawford.

Couple others get shot and stay,

the rest of the force quits.

And there's no way
to recruit new cops,

because how do you guarantee the
Kavalry won't just do it again?

Enter Senator Giddyup.

"If y'all can fight fire with fire,

y'all can fight masks with masks!"

Bright yellow ones.

So, the cops hide their faces,

and the bad guys
don't know where they live.

And who doesn't want a secret identity.
Right, Blake?

Right, boss.

So for the sake of
telling them apart,

he's blue...

and he likes to stroll around
with his dick hanging out.

He can teleport.
He can see into the future.

He can blow shit up.
He's got actual superpowers.

So Regular God asks Blue God,

"What have you done with these
gifts?" And Blue God says,

"I fell in love with a woman,
I walked across the sun,

"and then I fell in love
with another woman.

"I won the Vietnam War.

But mostly, I just stopped
giving a shit about humanity."

God sighs.

"Do I even need to ask
how many people you've killed?"

Blue God shrugs.

"A live body and a dead body have
the same number of particles,

"so it doesn't matter.

"And it doesn't matter
how I answer your question,

because I know you're
sending me to Hell."

"How do you know that?"
asks God.

And Blue God sounds
very, very sad

when he softly says,

"Because I'm already there."

And so, a mere piston

God does what he did

he snaps his fingers.

device is rigged to their hearts,

and none of them actually
take the time to do it.

You saved us. Thanks.

Crawford jumped on the grenade.

I just gave him a little push.

Yeah, well...
(CHUCKLES)

I sure as shit can't
exhume him now.

That's not funny.

Sorry. I wasn't joking.

You guys just scheduled
this funeral so fast.

Kinda weird considering

it's an active murder
investigation by the way,

but, uh...

we were literally gonna
dig him up tomorrow.

Discretely, of course.

Why?

Your chief was murdered
by the Seventh Kavalry.

I get it, there's a history.

But...

you still have to consider
other possibilities, right?

For instance,
I was at the crime scene earlier,

and you know what I saw?
Tire tracks,

right at the base of the tree.

What kind of vehicle?

I'm sorry. Did I say vehicle?
No, no, no.

No, um, it was a wheelchair.

And I get how
you guys missed it.

You know, he was your chief,
he was your friend.

It's hard to do your job well

when you're that close
to someone.

That's why I'm here.

Hey, did you know that he had

a secret compartment in his closet?

- What?
- Yeah, I was over there talking to his wife,

and while I was there I found
this secret fucking compartment.

Isn't that insane?

Why were you looking in his closet?

Oh. Well,
when my dad was murdered,

they found a secret
compartment in his closet.

So, you know...

I always check.

Once in a while, it pans out.

What was in it?

You tell me.
What was in it?

How the fuck should I know?

Well...

his wife told me
that you were the only person

in that bedroom since he died.

And frankly, Angela...
(CHUCKLES)

you just don't strike me
as the fainting type.

Okay, I'll tell you.

It was a bust,
just a big, naked bust.

That's it.
However...

I think there was
something on that bust.

I don't know.
Maybe your pal Judd asked you

to get rid of it
if something ever happened,

or, you know, maybe the two
of you were having an affair,

which makes no sense because
your husband's fucking hot.

But whatever it is,
this much I know...

Men who end up
hanging from trees

with secret compartments
in their closets

tend to think of themselves
as good guys.

And those who protect them
think they're good guys too.

But here's the thing about me,
"Sister Night"...

I eat good guys for breakfast.

Ooh!

BLAKE: And so, it's been a
long day at the pearly gates.

All the heroes have
gone to Hell.

His work done,
God's packing up to go home.

And then he notices
someone waiting.

But it's not a hero.
It's just a woman.

"Where did you come from?"
asks God.

"Oh, I was standing behind
those other guys the whole time.

You just didn't see me."

"Did I give you a talent?"
God asks.

- "Nope."
- (KNOCKING)

"None to speak of,"
says the woman.

God gives her a good long look.

"I'm so sorry.
I'm embarrassed.

"Seriously, this almost
never happens, but...

I don't know who you are."

And the woman looks at God
and she quietly says:

"I'm the little girl who threw
the brick in the air."

Then a sound from above,
something falling.

The brick.

God looks up, but it's too late.
He never saw it coming.

It hits him so hard,
his brains shoot out his nose.

Game over.
He's dead.

And where does God go
when he dies?

He goes to Hell.

Roll on snare drum.

Curtains.

Good joke.

AUTOMATED VOICE: Sorry.
Your time is almost up.

You have 55 seconds to
complete your transmission.

(SIGHS)

I don't know why I keep coming
to these stupid phone booths

and telling you jokes.

It's not like you ever had
a sense of humor.

You're never gonna hear
this anyway probably.

But sometimes it's,
you know, it's nice to...

sometimes it's nice to pretend.

The assholes down here
still think you give a shit.

Even though you've been on
another fucking planet for...

for 30 years.

(SIGHS)

But we're not really worth giving
a shit about anyway, are we?

AUTOMATED VOICE: Recording complete.

Thank you for being a platinum
user of the Blue Booth Network.

Your message will reach Mars
in approximately 40 seconds.

Good night, and thank you for
contacting Doctor Manhattan.

Good night, Jon.

He hid it in his closet.

LOOKING GLASS: Looks like
