Justified Episode Guide
They arrive home to find the door busted. Inside, Helen is cleaning up shattered plates. Arlo
become FURIOUS – and starts searching for his baseball bat. ”Arlo is up to something,” Givens
tells Helen. For right now, however, Arlo has revenge on his mind. He heads to the diner, where
the two hulking nephews sit and eat. Using a ruse of paying them, Arlo pulls out his baseball
bat and starts swinging. After getting in some vicious licks, he collapses into a booth, clutching
his chest. Uh oh.
Later, Givens does yard work for the ex-wife of the fugitive, but still hasn’t been invited inside.
He decides to up the ante by asking to use the restroom. Inside, he spots the fugitive and pulls
the man aside. ”I didn’t want to make a scene in front of your kids,” Givens says. ”I’m a Deputy
U.S. Marshal and I’m here to arrest you on a outstanding warrant.” The fugitive makes a move to
run and Givens tackles the man, cuffing him. ”Let him go!” the ex-wife screams. She is holding
a large shotgun. Givens talks her down, promising leniency for the mother of two. Case closed.
But not the episode.
Givens heads to the local police department and learns that Perkins has recently finished a
six-year prison term for illegally selling pharmaceuticals. Interesting.
Givens then heads to the hospital, where Arlo is busy flirting with nurses. Arlo then tells
Givens that he once rebelled against his own father, a preacher. Givens doesn’t appear too interested
– and warns his father not to underestimate Perkins.
Later, Givens visits bar owner Johnny, Boyd’s cousin. Givens wants information on Perkins,
but Johnny proposes Givens work for it. The two used to play ball together, apparently, so
Johnny throws Givens three pitches in the ally. After making Givens bail-out on the first pitch,
Givens hits the final pitch hard, making Johnny duck. Johnny explains that Perkins is once
again moving prescription drugs.
So Givens visits Perkins – and explains that the rented house used to belong to Helen. Givens
would escape to the place as a kid when Arlo was raging. ”Want to know my favorite hiding spot?”
Givens asks. ”Come here. I’ll show you.” Givens then picks up his father’s baseball bat and herds
Perkins toward the bedroom closet. He removes the panel and discover a bags of drugs. Perkins
tries to run, but Givens hits the man in the shins with the bat. Like father, like son. Perkins
claims he had no idea that there were drugs in the closet. ”The last time I looked in there, it was
empty,” he cries. So what was in there? Perkins explains he had $75,000 in drugs behind the
panel... until Arlo broke in.
So Givens heads back to the hospital and commands ”Helen, go outside and have a Menthol.”
Arlo says. ”You think I got stolen drugs? Get a warrant. Search the house.”
Says Givens: ”I know the Oxycodon is gone and I know the money you got from it is probably
buried underneath the ground... but what you didn’t think about is what I’d do when I found out
about you. I got you out of jail. At the very least, I’ll get you back in.”
Givens then accuses Helen of planning that bag of drugs in Perkins’ closet.
She protests – too much. Givens storms away. Nothing like family to ruin a cowboy’s weekend.
He visits the family plot next to his father’s house where his mother is buried. He looks at
his own tombstone, and turns away, confident that he knows where his father has stashed his
ill-gotten cash.
