Summary: Raylan’s tactics put him at odds with the FBI as he intensifies his
efforts to take down Quarles and the Detroit mob.
Arlo wanders down a rural road in the
middle of the night. He talks to ghosts as
he approaches Limehouse’s compound.
”I’d get out of my way if I were you!” the
old man yells at one of Limehouse’s annoyed
soldiers. Inside the compound, Errol,
who organized the attack on the oxy
clinic without his boss’ say so, scolds triggerman
Tanner, who is on the run from
the law. ”Quarles knows I did this, I’m
a dead man!” Tanner yells. Limehouse
enters with a plan: Tanner will return
to Quarles, claim sole responsibility for
the oxy clinic massacre (explaining that it
was an attempt to get back at the Crowders
by framing them) and then act as Limehouse’s spy on Quarles’ activities. Tanner agrees –
and then another one of Limehouse’s men alert the boss to wandering Arlo.
So Limehouse ambles outside to find Arlo demanding the return of Givens’ long-gone mother.
The old man has lost it. Arlo pulls a gun and is promptly struck down. ”What you want to do with
him?” a man asks Limehouse. Meanwhile, Givens bellies up to a crowded and nosy bar at his
new hotel – and is soon joined by Quarles. ”Whatever Boyd Crowder is paying you, I will double
it,” Quarles amicably proposes. Givens laughs – and mentions Quarles’ ”propensity for tooling
up male hustlers.” The smile quickly fades from Quarles’ face. ”I’m sure we’ll be running into
each other again real soon,” Quarles says.
The next day, Givens heads to the office and asks Tim for a favor. Givens wants to ”bury”
Quarles, but has no jurisdiction. So the Marshal asks Tim to call back his friends in the FBI.
Meanwhile, Quarles and Wynn discuss what to do with the money that was intended to bribe
Givens. Quarles suggests he will drive to Harlan and offer it someone who will not refuse. ”The
boss’ son is coming,” Wynn warns. Quarles explains that he was more or less adopted by the
boss, but despises the man’s son, Sammy. It is implied that Quarles was passed over as heir to
the criminal crown because of the unsavory habits that Givens mentioned. Quarles then grabs
the briefcase of money and exits.
At Johnny’s bar, Boyd enters to find Givens at the bar. Boyd explains that Arlo was injured
asking for his dead wife at Limehouse’s compound. ”Sounds like he’s off his meds and I wish
