isn’t about to let some company ”rape” the hills of her hometown. Coover and Dickie then enter,
looking for trouble – as always. ”You whoring for the mines now, too – like your buddy Boyd?” says
Coover, who lightly shoves Givens in the shoulder. Givens then makes a show of putting away
his badge. This is personal. Coover takes the first swing and a full-fledged BRAWL breaks out.
Givens gets in his share of blows, but it’s Coover who ends up with the advantage, PUNCHING
the marshal in the face until Mags steps in with a shovel to break up the fight. Givens is a bloody
mess.
That evening, Givens convalesces in Carol’s hotel room while she prepares for the big meeting.
He explains the ”bad blood” between the Givens and Bennett clans: during prohibition, the
Bennett family was busted and believed it came about on a tip from a Givens. Raylan’s uncle was
shot as a result. When the marshal was in high school, he played against Dickie when a fight
broke out. Givens picked up a bat and BASHED Dickie in the shin, giving the Bennett boy his
limp. So bad blood all around.
CUT to Helen and Arlo’s place. Boyd sits with the couple at the kitchen table and presents
an offer for their land. ”We’re not signing that land over to anyone,” Arlo barks. Arlo then tells
Boyd that his daddy wouldn’t think kindly about his boy working for the mining company. Boyd
doesn’t disagree. Later, the town of Harlan meets at a local church for the big meeting. Carol
takes the podium and tries to make a point about how miners are well compensated by pointing
out that they make as much as a decorated marshal like Raylan Givens. Givens turns the tables
by explaining that, while mining and marshal money are similar, marshals don’t get fired if they
take a sick day. The crowd applauds. Boyd then stands up to defend Carol and the company,
saying that he was given ”a second chance.” ”What we need right now is jobs,” Boyd says. More
applause.
Mags then stands up and delivers a impassioned plea to the crowd – against the company.
She explains that it’s just the same old story: a conglomerate coming into town to destroy the
land, take advantage of its people and then leave. The town has never seen the kind of money
that these companies always promise. She then points out that Reggie has already ”sold out” to
the mining company – even though she offered to buy his land first. Mags then invites everybody
to a party at the Bennett homestead. ”I want you to see just what it is we’re all fighting for down
here,” Mags tells Carol. HUGE applause – and then – BANG, BANG, BANG! Givens pulls his
weapon. The crowd runs for the exits.
Only they’re not gunshots. Somebody lit off firecrackers. Later, Givens suggests to Carol that
she had something to do with it – as the bangs shut up Mags in mid-speech. ”I admit it was a
well-timed prank, but I had nothing to do with it,” Carol says. ”My hearts still pounding. Want
to feel?” Givens ignores the obvious come on. CUT to Ava’s house, where Boyd returns home to
find Coover and Dicke waiting. Coover savagely BEATS Boyd before Ava enters the room with a
shotgun. ”Back off!” she warns the Bennett boys. Ava then notices the squirming, squeaking bag
on the floor. She SHOOTS it. Coover SCREAMS. ”You killed Charlie!” he moans before exiting,
furious.
Back at Carol’s hotel room, the mining executive continues to get cozy with Givens, who
politely declines her offer to jump into bed. She attributes the refusal to Givens not wanting to
get into trouble at work. Givens, who has been drinking, alludes to the fact that he is already in
trouble with his boss. The next morning, Carol and Givens pay a visit to Arlo and Helen. While
Carol explains her offer to a typically disgruntled Arlo, Helen pulls aside Givens. She offers to
give the marshal the $20,000 stolen from the marshals if Givens agrees to leave town and cut all
ties. ”You want the money, you leave it all behind,” Helen says. Givens is rightfully confused, but
doesn’t get a chance to ask a follow-up question because SHOOTING suddenly erupts. Somebody
is taking pot shots at the house. Givens FIRES back while ushering everybody inside. Arlo is shot
in the leg.
Givens checks his phone: no service. The house line, meanwhile, hasn’t worked for months,
Helen explains. So Givens takes a knife and cuts off his father’s ankle bracelet. That ought to
bring the cops in about 10 minutes. Givens then heads outside and races up a nearby hill toward
the unidentified shooter. He is able to sneak up on the shooter, who is the sister of the man who
tried to bomb the courthouse. Givens twists her arm behind her back and cuffs her. Later, Givens
tells Carol that the man who bombed the courthouse is now in custody – he was waiting outside
the judge’s house with a rifle. Helen then hands Givens an envelope containing the $20,000.
Givens walks away, announcing that he is going to Mags’ party. ”The whole reason I gave you
