Justified Episode Guide
Tim notices a car parked outside. ”Gotta room in this house without windows? Go there,”
Raylan tells Eve. The marshals go outside as she hides in a half-bath with a window. They direct
the intruder to move very slowly as he pulls out his credentials. ”Don’t shoot him unless it seems
appropriate,” Raylan says to Tim. The man is FBI agent Alex Barnes. When Eve hears that, she
crawls out the window to escape... and is quickly sucker punched by a young thug with long
hair, Mason Goines who carts her off. Soon enough, the marshals and the FBI agent realize Ms.
Monroe is missing.
Back at the marshals’ office, Agent Barnes announces that his organization will be taking
over the Thompson case. ”The best thing you fellas can do is stay out of my way,” he finishes
with a smile before exiting the office. ”I’m telling you, something ain’t right,” Raylan says to Art
and Tim.
Barnes then enters the elevator and calls the long haired punk who abducted Ms. Monroe to
see if it all went as planned. It did. The punk promises him that Barnes’ family, at least, will die
quickly if things go south. No such assurance for Barnes.
Goines then takes Ms. Monroe to a ratty motel room and ties her to a chair. He smacks her
viciously and pulls the gag from Eve’s mouth. ”Where’s Drew?” he asks before pushing her chair
over backwards to the floor. He threatens to ”piss on that sock before I put it back.” He doesn’t
believe her when Eve says she just found out that her former husband was still alive, and tells
the terrified woman ”You don’t worry about how long you gonna live. Worry about how slow you
gonna die.”
Johnny returns to the bar to find Boyd, Ava and Colton waiting for him, wanting to know
where he’s been. The still nervous Doctor Painter wants to take Jimmy to a hospital, explaining
that even if half the bites are ”dry, the amount of time it took him to get treatment, he should
have been dead hours ago.” Boyd digests this information.
Raylan goes back to the gym for his six o’clock showdown with Randall, but the janitor tells
him that the brawler has packed up and gone. Outside the gym Givens runs into Barnes who
pretends to have gotten a tip about Thompson being there. Raylan doesn’t buy it, noting that the
only people who knew he’d be at the gym were Art and Eve Monroe.
So how did the FBI agent find him? When Raylan threatens to check out Barnes’ cell’ ’phone
records, the dirty agent slowly raises his service weapon. ”The only way to help yourself now is to
tell us who your partners are before they kill her,” Raylan says. Barnes has no intention of going
to prison, or risking the wrath of his mystery employers. Raylan says they can get him protection
and put his family in witness security. ”You don’t know these people,” Barnes replies and tells
Raylan where he can find Eve – Hillview Motel – before putting his gun to his head and pulling
the trigger.
At the motel, Goines is getting rougher with Ms. Monroe, who still claims not to know where
her ex-husband might be. He pulls a knife and makes it clear that he’s going to kill her slowly and
painfully anyhow. The door bursts open and Tim and Raylan enter accompanied by a number of
local law enforcement, guns drawn. Ms. Monroe is saved. Later Art arrives to explain that Goines
was working for Theo Tonin (the late Robert Quarles crime boss in Detroit). He then threatens not
to provide Eve with further police protection unless she cooperates. Art continues to interrogate
her until she finally decides to spill the beans, explaining how her husband told her he was going
to fake his death because ”Drew saw Theo Tonin murder a government informant.”
As Eve is leaving, Raylan asks her how she knew where to send the late Agent Barnes because
he never mentioned exactly which gym his ”six o’clock appointment” was at. ”I told you,” Eve
replies matter-of-factly, ”I have a gift.”
Reverend Billy is preaching to the congregation, including Ellen May, when Boyd enters. Boyd
carries with him a long metal tool box. Inside is a ”canebreak rattler snake pulled this very
day from a rock crevice alongside the Cumberland River.” Boyd knows that since Jimmy didn’t
die, Billy’s ”poisonous snakes” have been rendered non-lethal. Boyd invites Billy to handle the
snake he has brought as a gift. Just as Billy is about to do it, Cassie intervenes and tries to
dissuade her brother, admitting her deception as the congregation stirs uneasily at the idea of
being hoodwinked.
Boyd realizes that Billy is a true believer who didn’t know that sister Cassie was milking the
snakes. Shamed before his flock, he decides to save face by handling Boyd’s snake. Boyd warns
the young preacher not to push his luck, but an embarrassed Billy won’t listen. He pulls the
snake from the container and holds it over his head. ”Praise Jesus!” Billy cries triumphantly...
