Lawmen: Bass Reeves episode 3: A brief recap
After noticing Bass had been stressed out lately and overindulging in his work, he was tasked with escorting Willy, a new cook. Along the way, he and Bily decided to catch a criminal named Moody O’Neil, whom they presumed to be a man, but much to their surprise, the convict turned out to be an old Black woman.
Moody calmly surrendered without a fight. Later at night, Bass discovered that Moody declined to have dinner. When he attempted to persuade her, she calmly explained that she had accepted her fate. Furthermore, she revealed without remorse that she didn’t regret killing her victim.
The next day, Bass got furious with Willy upon learning that he had set the prisoner free. Willy disapproved of Bass collecting bounties by apprehending his fellow Black individuals and even went as far as calling him an “up-jumped slave catcher.” Bass, who was currently battling traumatic flashbacks while confronting Willy, accidentally pulled the trigger and shot him dead.
The next day, Bass had an audience with Judge Parker. The latter recounted a childhood story of mistaking pyrite for gold, wondering about the latter’s true nature. Bass, reflecting on Judge Parker’s upbringing, suggested people aren’t simply pyrite or gold.
He affirmed his readiness to face the consequences for justice, implying Judge Parker would share that fate. As Bass left, Judge Parker was visibly moved by his words. During the trial, Judge Parker announced Bass to be not guilty.
After returning, Bass thoroughly contemplated his decisions, and later, he revealed to his wife that he would be heading out to hunt down the killer of Curtis, a child whom he loved as his own son.
