 SEASON 3, EPISODE 7 HATE ON YOUR DIAL Watching the store one afternoon, Johnny sells a 1954 car radio to a retarded man named Archie Pierce (Robert A. Silverman). But when Micki later informs Johnny that the radio is listed in the manifest, he knows that he must retrieve it immediately. As Jack and Johnny track down the radio, Archie proudly watches his brother Ray install it in their father's 1954 Chevy. The scene soon turns ugly when Archie's black friend Elliot stops by and Ray begins making racist remarks, a legacy passed on by his father, who was hung for the brutal murder of a black man in 1954. Archie's indig- nation over Ray's treatment of Elliot enrages Ray, who later taunts Elliot with a gun and accidentally kills him. Ray panics and takes off in the Chevy. His bloodied fingers nervously fiddle with the radio, which comes on and emits a glow which envelops the car and sends it spinning back in time to 1954 Mississippi. It soon becomes clear why Ray has been transported back in time. After participating in the beating of a black man, Ray is introduced to Ku Klux Klan leader Steve Pierce, the father he never knew. Ray then becomes obsessed with changing the past and saving his father from execution.
