Justified Episode Guide
At the swingers party, Ava wanders from room to dimly lit room looking for Boyd. She is
corralled by a younger, aggressive man, Sam, who won’t take no for an answer. Another, Abel,
traps her and becomes very physical. Boyd appears and twists the man’s arm behind his back
and slams his head against the stairwell. Deborah Jane arrives and takes control of the scene.
Boyd then explains to Ava that two older men, logging magnate Lee Paxton and automobile dealer
Gerald Johns, want him to strong-arm another rich man, Frank Browning. Boyd figures he can
make a little extra money while searching for Drew. Ava doesn’t like the idea, but Boyd dismisses
her concerns.
With Jackie waiting in his car, Raylan and several of his armed colleagues pay a visit to
Kenneth’s where he’s doing lines of coke off the bathroom sink and entertaining a young blonde.
When the deputies take the door, aspiring filmmaker Kenny tells him that there’s a video that
Jody wants Raylan to see. It’s fugitive murderer warning the marshal that he doesn’t have long
to live. Raylan has never responded well to being threatened.
Raylan, with passenger Jackie telling him she has a big crush on him, heads to the High Note
Bar as the marshal knows that Jody knows where he lives. Telling Jackie to remain in the car,
Raylan enters, surveys the crowded room, and casually pulls the fire alarm. When proprietor
Kent Chilobeck calmly asks if it’s a drill, Raylan tells him it isn’t. Kent clears everyone from
the room and sure enough, there’s Jody sitting in the corner. Raylan and Jody face each other.
”You ain’t gonna shoot,” Jody mutters, apparently thinking of other times he’s been under the
marshal’s muzzle, and reaches for his gun. Raylan does shoot, bam-bam, bam, bam and Jody
falls dead to the floor. Jackie quietly enters through the front door and wordlessly exchanges
looks with Raylan as he takes out his cell’ ’phone to call it in.
Colton and Johnny are at the latter’s bar when Boyd’s cousin lets the man tasked with Ellen
May’s disposal, know that he knows the whore is still alive.
The elite Clover Hillers condescendingly explain their plan to Boyd. It involves ruining one
of Frank’s own ponds so that the rest can get even richer off the federal government’s EPA
Superfund. ”You want me to twist his arm?” Boyd asks. ”We prefer if you kill him,” Gerald replies
levelly. ”Crowders do what we say,” says Lee, explaining that the hesitant Boyd only has what he
has because these rich men allow him to have it. They want the lower class lowlanders ”placated.”
Boyd interrupts to correct Paxton’s diction, telling the man that the word he was looking for is
”pacified.” Paxton tells him that they’ve looked the other way as Boyd’s daddy, who ”knew his
place,” and now Boyd, ran drugs and prostitutes.
Raylan escorts Jackie to a hotel room (which he tells her is being paid for by the Marshals
Service) where he tells her he’s figured out that she has the money Jody had been looking for. He
tells her to give it to Jody’s ex and kids, and he won’t turn it in. As the grad student strips down
to take a shower, he takes a ’phone call from Art to tie up some loose ends. Art cagily deduces
that Jackie is there with him. ”She fall in love with you yet,” Art asks? Raylan tells his boss not
to worry because ”it’s not coming out of your budget.” They hang up as a weary Raylan sits and
reflects on the day’s events.
The next morning Raylan has finally made his way to Tramble where he visits with Arlo.
Instead of following Art’s script and pretending he has a file folder full of evidence to leverage
Arlo into revealing Drew Thompson’s whereabouts, he drops all pretense. ”I’m going to cut you
a deal right now,” son says to father. ”For once in our lives, let’s work together.” If Arlo gives up
Thompson, Raylan will give up his insistence that Arlo spend his remaining days in maximum
security. Raylan explains that Theo Tonin knows hompson is alive and has hired Boyd, ”the son
you never had,” to find him. If Boyd finds Thompson first, then Arlo gets nothing. But if Arlo
gives up Thompson right now, Raylan can guarantee that dear ol’ dad lives out his days in a
”country club prison.” Arlo refuses to play along... ”I’ve considered it,” he says. ”Eat sh-t!” but
the news that Raylan is now going to offer the same deal to former deputy sheriff Hunter Mosley
gives the old man pause, and his son reads his ”granite face” correctly. Whenever Arlo gets bad
news, says Raylan, he has a face like a statue. ”Can’t help I’m good-lookin’,” Arlo says, trying to
make a good show of his bad situation. Raylan tells his father that he’s going to die there, ”and
not in the distant future... tomorrow, or maybe Sunday after chow,” and says he’ll be glad when
he gets the news.
Arlo heads off to open discussions with Mosley as an expressionless Arlo trudges back to his
cell.
