Justified Episode Guide
Givens, meanwhile, heads to the bar to give Pinter his cut of the reward for the Tiny-collar –
but the bookie/snitch is gone. ”Something is making my neck hair stand up,” Givens tells Mullen
back at the office.
Givens shags an address for Pinter and heads to the home, where he runs into none other
than Travers. ”I just watch the place while he’s away,” says Travers, who explains that Pinter is
on vacation. The man is obviously lying, but Givens lets him go for the time being. Travers then
rushes back to his own pad, where Curtis has Pinter tied up in a chair with a bag over his head.
Turns out Travers was about to search Pinter’s house for money when Givens showed up. ”It’s
time to accelerate the situation,” Travers says. A short time later, Pinter’s girlfriend Samantha
is dragged into the room. Curtis threatens to clip her fingers off – and Pinter explains that he
knows she’s in on the scheme. ”You’re the only one I told about the escape fund,” Pinter gasps.
So Pinter’s gal betrayed her boyfriend to Travers, who had no choice but to cut Curtis into the
plan.
”You said we weren’t actually going to hurt him!” Samantha protests. She then looks out
the window and spots Givens wandering around the property. Curtis heads outside to confront
the Marshal. ”You like Westerns?” the collector asks while reaching as if to draw. Bad move.
Givens causally and quickly draws his own weapon – all the while explaining the mechanics and
potential risk in such a move. Curtis backs down, but his ears perk up when Givens explains
that he only wants to give Pinter $10,000. Curtis kindly offers to hold onto it for Pinter. Givens
pretends to agree – and volunteers to head back to the office to retrieve the reward. Inside, Curtis
explains to Travers that the Marshal is going to return with $5000(!) for Pinter.
And when that happens? ”Oh, I’m gonna put a hole through his head,” Curtis brags. (We’ll
see about THAT, bub.)
With Givens away, Curtis proposes ”practicing” a draw contest with Travers. We think Curtis
is just looking for a ruse to kill Travers, but it’s Travers who shoots a hole in the collector’s chest!
Curtis falls dead into the pool.
”What happened to your stress techniques?!” a terrified Samantha asks. Travers explains that
it’s far too late to play nice with Pinter and threatens to cut off the man’s unmentionables. Just
then, the doorbell rings. It’s Givens, who knows exactly what he’s getting into, of course.
Travers lets the Marshal inside. Travers walks casually through the living room before grabbing
a gun and FIRING on Givens. He misses – and Givens quickly calls in backup (as if he
needed it). Samantha, meanwhile, has had a change of heart. She frees Pinter, retrieves Curtis’
handgun and passes it to the now freed Pinter who immediately fires through a door – mistakenly
hitting Givens!
”Holy shit, Marshal!” Pinter screams. But Givens never flinches. He hears another door opening
behind him and, just like Pinter, fires deliberately through at it. The door slowly swings
open to reveal Travers with two exsanguinating bullet holes in his chest slumping to the floor.
Justified? You better believe it, pal.
Naturally, Givens was wearing a bullet-proof best the entire time.
Later, Pinter claims that Samantha was a hostage, too – and not part of the plan to rob him.
”Is that your story?” Givens asks the bookie. Explains Pinter: ”She was only doing what I taught
her to do.” He then explains that he plans to use the reward money to get out of town for good.
Sounds like a good deal. Givens pays the man.
Case closed, but not the episode.
Later that night, Givens visits Ava. ”What would happen if I found something here that made
me not want to leave?” he asks. He then leans in and passionately kisses Ava.
We tastefully fade to black.
