Justified Episode Guide
Back at the judge’s house, the pair share a drink. Givens asks if Reardon would call Ava’s
judge and suggest that the woman be allowed to leave the state. The judge refuses. ”I’m not
gonna piss in another man’s sandbox,” he says. Says Givens: ”Fair enough.”
Meanwhile, cousin Johnny pays a visit to Boyd’s camp to ask about the threat to the meth
lab. Turns out Bo wasn’t too happy to hear of it. Boyd is unrepentant, though. Cut to Givens,
who asks the clerk at a smoke shop for the whereabouts of Pastor Israel Fandi. The boy, Bunny,
claims not to know – so Givens begins dropping glass bongs on the floor. Bunny quickly relents,
giving Givens the address for a Mrs. Davis. Before leaving, Givens hands the clerk a wad of cash.
”I break it, I buy it,” the lawman says.
Moments later, Givens is visiting Mrs. Davis, who recognizes a picture of Fandi as ”Otis,”
a man who landscapes her yard for free. Givens is immediately suspicious. Back at the office,
Givens refuses to tell Mullen where he was, calling it ”personal business.”
Later, Reardon takes Givens to a honkytonk go-go bar, where a shady looking young man eyes
the judge from the bar. Givens catches up to the man in the bathroom, but Reardon claims not
to recognize him. Reluctantly, Givens lets the smart-mouth suspect leave. Back at headquarters,
Givens discovers that the man’s name is Virgil, a divorced dad who got 15 years from Reardon
for possession with intent to sell. Interesting.
It’s soon back to ”personal business,” though. Givens returns to Mrs. Davis’ home to find
Fandi/Otis working in the backyard. ”Boyd Crowder, the man who blew up your church, just got
out of prison,” Givens explains. ”Your testimony could put him back in.” Fandi refuses, guessing
correctly that it was Givens whose screw up (with Ava) resulted in Boyd receiving a get-out-ofjail-free
card. Later, the cowboy cop returns to the case at hand, interviewing Virgil’s ex-wife, who
provides him with a return address.
In the meantime, Boyd makes good on his holy threat and storms the meth lab. He drags
out two of its residents before tossing a Molotov cocktail inside. BOOM! Mickey, one of the meth
heads, cries out that his buddy Gil was inside. ”You killed Gil!” Mickey says. Boyd appears
genuinely horrified. Turns out even the Lord’s work can go terribly wrong.
Back at the go-go bar, Reardon asks to use the restroom. While Givens scopes out the bathroom,
Reardon gives the Marshall the slip. Moments later, Givens storms outside to find the
judge with his pants down, a woman kneeling in front of him and Virgil holding a gun. ”Can we
agree the young lady can go?” Givens asks. Virgil refuses, demanding the judge’s attention. ”This
is my courtroom and you’re overruled!” he says. Suddenly, Reardon pulls his own gun and fires.
Virgil goes down with a gunshot wound to the arm. Givens quickly disarms Reardon. He then
reveals that Virgil took out a life-insurance policy on himself. The money was to go to his ex-wife
and kid. ”Was that the plan?” Givens asks. ”Shoot the judge, make me shoot you?” It sure was.
Later, Reardon looks contemplative for the very fist time. ”Thanks,” the judge says. ”If you
didn’t stop me I would’ve killed him.” Perhaps the ”Hammer” won’t be so quick to judge so
harshly next time.
The next day, Givens asks Ava to come see him. She does – and Givens reveals that Reardon
has agreed to talk to her judge so that she can ”get out of Kentucky.” Snaps Ava: ”How far away
do you want me?” She knows it’s not just about keeping her safe – but alleviating Givens’ guilt
for setting Boyd free. True enough.
Back at the office, Givens receives bad news from Mullen: the man who died in the methlab
explosion was an undercover cop. ”The last report he filed said Boyd Crowder threatened to
blow the meth lab up if they didn’t shut it down,” Mullen explains. He then theorizes that Boyd
is trying to shore-up his daddy Bo’s criminal empire. Givens admits that he had visited Boyd’s
men and offered a $50,000 reward. He also admits to asking Fandi to testify. Mullen encourages
Givens to try again.
Givens visits Fandi and reveals that he knows Fandi is planting marijuana in the yards he
landscapes. ”We can get a warrant, search your basement and your garage, or you can do your
civic duty,” Givens says. ”You think you’re scared of him? You have no idea what you can expect
from me.”
Fandi laments: ”Tell me what he looks like and I’ll say whatever you want me to say!” Givens
is SHOCKED. He thought the pastor was holding out because he was scared of Boyd. Turns out
that Fandi really didn’t see the man.
Asks Fandi: ”How are you going to get him?” Givens throws up his arms. ”I don’t know,” the
Marshall says. ”I don’t know.”
