Previously on "Justified"...

Raylan: Winona, do you know what's going on here?

I'm being framed of a m*rder I didn't commit.

Winona: I found the g*n.

Raylan: Thank you.

Winona: This time, seriously, don't come find me.

Raylan: Go tell your boss I got the g*n that k*lled Gary.

Wynn: Do you?

Raylan: Ask him where he thinks it might turn up.

You have no ide... ooh!

Raylan: What are you gonna do?

Make sure Ellen May don't get hurt.

Ava: Thanks for coming by, Raylan.

What brings you to Lexington?

I just wanted to let you know Boyd Crowder is backing a man for sheriff.

You came all this way to tell me that.

I likes to back the winning side.

I'm gonna want to know what Mr. Quarles is up to.

I believe you can help me out there.

You need someone who know his way around Harlan.

[ Laughs ]

I got the sheriff.

Someone who ain't the law.

Oh, so what I need is a federal fugitive who assaulted a U.S. marshal.

I don't think so.

Mr. Quarles, sir, I will do anything to make it right.

You were supposed to wait until I get back in the house before you set that thing off.

You get me what you owe me, or next time, I won't even wait for you to get out of the car.

Raylan: [ Laughs ]

You been checking up on me?

Art: [ Chuckling ] Yes. Duh.

Who is he?

Switchboard said that yesterday you got an anonymous call that said, "tell deputy Givens to ask Quarles about Brady Hughes."

Raylan: All I can tell you is what I got when I ran the name through the database, which I'm not gonna share with you 'cause I know you already did the same.

Art: What does Quarles want with a missing hustler?

Raylan: He just about k*lled one in Detroit.

Art: So, what?

You went down there to where Brady turns his tricks...

Raylan: Yeah.

Art: And then you asked them all if anybody had seen him with Quarles?

Raylan: None of the other rent boys were too anxious to speak.

Art: What do you have on Quarles?

Raylan: What do I have on Quarles?

Art: Yeah.

Raylan: [ Chuckles ]

What have we been talking about?

Art: What do you have on Quarles right now that you can prove?

That's what I thought.

Look, we're gonna shut this down.

Raylan: Shut what down?

Art: You and Quarles Us and Quarles.

'Cause no matter how big a scumbag he is, until he runs afoul of federal law enforcement, he's not marshal business.

Raylan: He tried to destroy my life.

Art: And even if he was marshal business, he wouldn't be yours.

You're gonna have to step back now.

Raylan: I can't say what it's like to sh**t anybody,

As a rule, women aren't into crimes where they get sh*t by people in law enforcement, so we don't get that many opportunities to sh**t women.

Ava: He is.

Raylan: Still think you can change him, huh?

Ava: Not trying to change him.

I'm trying to help him.

Raylan: Hm.

Ava: What?

Raylan: I'm reminded of a fugitive we were chasing...

A big fella named Tiny.

Found out he was stepping out on his wife with this pretty sorta-rican girl.

We knock on her door.

She answers in a see-through number.

My boss says "where's Tiny?"

And then she says, "he ain't here."

And he says, "if he's here and you're lying, you're going to jail."

She says, "he's in the back."

You understand?

It wasn't like she was hurting him or telling on him.

There was just nothing she could do for him, so she said, "yeah," he's in the back."

Ava: Did you catch him?

I mean, you do know.

Ava: He says he can help you get to Robert Quarles.

Raylan: Then why didn't he come down here and tell me himself?

Boyd: The man who did the sh**ting out at your aunt Helen's house... man with a limp...

Raylan: You know him?

Boyd: Well, I believe he's Robert Quarles' point person in Harlan.

He tried to turn Devil against me.

Raylan: You gave him the limp.

Boyd: Well, I can get territorial.

Raylan: How is Devil?

I haven't seen him.

Boyd: Well, he's calmed down a good bit since last you saw him.

Raylan: Hm.

And what's in this for you?

Boyd: Well, the man you threw out of that trailer happens to be, I believe, the same man who committed the crime for which I find myself currently incarcerated.

Raylan: You're asking me to go find your "get out of jail free" card.

Boyd: Let's think of it this way.

Now, you find this guy, you get your man Quarles, and you get to help out an old friend.

Raylan: 100%.

He's a known scumbag.

He brought it because he loves his mama.

Only, he didn't have a chance to hook it up, did he?

No.

Because he's in trouble.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Raylan: She is.

She misses you.

Tell you what... you help me out, we get you out of here, I'll take you by her place, you can help her set up her TV, huh?

Ey, you get me off this thing, I'll tell you anything...

Quarles, Napier, whoever.

Raylan: No.

You tell me right now,
or Keaton and I are gonna take a lunch break.

I'm a little hungry.

Bullshit.

Raylan: Quarles ordered the hit on the oxy clinic?

My legs are giving out, man, and my hands are sweating rivers!

Raylan: Did he k*ll Gary?

[ Breathing heavily ]

You need to chill out, pal.

[ g*n clatters ]

Oh, sh*t!

[ High-pitched beeping ]

You sit tight.

What happened? What'd I do?

Oh, you're gonna be fine.

I'm just gonna go get the robot.

Oh, no, no, no, man.

We need to get out of here.

Raylan: He needs to tell me what I... come on, man!

Raylan: God damn it!

Did Quarles k*ll Gary?

Everybody get back!

Raylan: Keaton, what the hell's going on?

The thing armed itself.

Raylan: Armed itself?

Are you saying that thing's gonna go off?

It's hard to say.

But if the thing arms itself, you get the hell...

Since I've been in office, violent crime in this county's down almost 12%.

Now, Washington's always trying to fix something that ain't broke.

But I like to think down here, we know better.

Rebuttal?

Way I understand it, violent crime is down all over.

Mr. Shelby, I believe you'll want to argue against me.

[ Laughter ]

[ Gavel bangs ]

I will remind both candidates to please not interrupt or address each other directly.

Yes, sir, but given Mr. Shelby's lack of experience, I'm trying to help him understand the concerns of the local communi- I was a lawman for 20 years.

And now you work at the mega-shop as a greeter.

[ Audience murmurs ]

There's nothing wrong with honest work.

Odd you would mention honest work, being as how you lost your security job after a robbery in which you were suspected of being the inside man.

[ Audience murmurs ]

[ Gavel bangs ]

That's enough.

Now... next question.

Boyd: I got a question.

Uh...Mr. Moderator, this man is a convicted felon.

We don't let felonvote in this state, do we?

Boyd: Well, I didn't come here to vote.

You wouldn't be here at all if it weren't for the fact that a few hours ago, friends of yours in the federal law enforcement field saw fit to intervene in our local affairs, forced us to release him from the cell he's been occupying since his cowardly attempt on my life.

Boyd: Well, Mr. Napier, I'd like to think that if I was behind an attempt on your life, at the very least, I would have messed up your hair.

[ Laughter ]

[ Gavel bangs ]

All right, now.

What's your question there, Boyd?

Boyd: Uh, thank you, Harvey.

My question is, does Mr. Napier know the name of the company that fired Shelby from his security job?

Well, I'll save you the trouble.

The name of that company was Black Pike Coal.

[ Audience murmurs ]

Now, do you want us all to believe that Shelby here's a dishonest man because Black Pike tells us so?

Do you think that Shelby's the only man in this room been done wrong by a coal-mining company?

Mr. Moderator, how many questions you gonna let this convict ask?

Mr. Napier, everybody here knows that the only men the company doesn't do wrong are company men.

[ Audience murmurs ]

And you stand up there with your slick haircut.

[ Laughter ]

You look down on Shelby because this man works for a living.

[ Audience murmurs ]

You talk down to me because I've been in trouble with the law.

Well, you know when that trouble began?

Why don't you ask your good friend Harvey Jones?

He was there.

He was on the line when we struck out at Eastover...

Brookside, Duke power scabs, and g*n thugs coming after us with bicycle chains and bats!

Trying to run us over in their cars!

[ Audience murmurs ]

And I know that you weren't there, Mr. Napier.

But there sure were a lot of men there who looked like you.

[ Laughter ]

Men standing on the company side, laughing at all us hillbillies who were just trying to stand up for what we believed in.

[ Audience murmurs ]

Now, I'm not saying you're a bad man, Mr. Napier.

That, I don't know.

But what I do know is that you've been feeding too long at the public trough.

[ Audience oohs ]

Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm gonna say no to the company man.

Audience: No!

Boyd: I'm gonna say no to the lawmen who disrespect the rights of the people whose taxes pay for their salaries!

[ Audience cheers ]

And I'm gonna say no... I'm gonna say no... I'm gonna say no to sheriff Tillman Napier, who laughs in our faces while he makes money off our backs!

[ Audience cheering ]

[ Gavel bangs ]

Johnny: Here's to sheriff Shelby.

[ Patrons cheering ]

Oh, ll, you got to like the sound of that.

Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves here, son.

Johnny: Oh, come on.

No one's gonna vote for that son of a bitch now.

Boyd: He's right, cousin Johnny.

Harlan county elections ain't over till the dead have voted.

But I will allow... We've had a very good day.

Ava: Baby can I have a word?

Boyd: Uh, yes, baby... right after we finish this round.

Uh, you want to join us?

Ava: I'm good.

And, uh, sooner's better.

♪ ♪

Boyd: Uh, well, sooner it is.

Boys.

♪ ♪

Boyd: H-here?

In... in that bar, where, uh... Where all them... them people are standing?

Ava: Yeah, but you ain't got to worry about that, because me and Ellen may, we cleaned up every drop.

We even got out stains been there 10 years.

Boyd: W-where's Delroy now?

Ava: Well, he's stinking up an old splinter shaft out past Neary holler.

Boyd: Um... uh, well, Ava, I-I appreciate your thoroughness, but now, um, you understand that, uh, well, that Delroy was under our protection.

Ava: I know, but buying protection doesn't entitle him to bring his mess to our front door like that.

And... [ sighs ]

Boyd, you didn't see Ellen May.

She was scared.

She was scared as a jackrabbit running from a wildcat.

Boyd: You know what, baby?

If that's the decision you felt you needed to make, well, then I respect it.

Ava: Good.

Boyd: Mm.

Ava: 'Cause I was also thinking... In Delroy's absence, someone's gonna need to keep them girls from getting swallowed up from some other animal.

Boyd: Well, now, that That is very true.

Uh, but what about your "no whores" policy?

Ava: Well, I wasn't talking about you.

Boyd: Oh, I'm... I'm sorry.

Who were you talking about?

Ava: Me.

Hi.

Ms. Dodd.

Got something for you.

From Tanner.

[ Breathing shakily ]

Thanks, Errol.

If you need anything, you let me know?

[ Voice breaking ] I will.

Thank you, Errol.

You're welcome.

Bye.

Raylan: Thank you, Imogene.

I'm gonna let myself out the back.

And I truly am sorry for your loss.

[ Crying ]

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ TV clicks ]

Why didn't you say grace?

Because he's bad?

I simply forgot it, dear.

Aren't you supposed to say grace with bad people?

Marshal.

Kitchen's closed, but I might could whip up something if you're desperate.

Raylan: Closed, huh?

Funny... I was just thinking I might have to do the same thing.

What's that?

Raylan: Close you down.

For what?

I see to it myself... my kitchen's so clean that the virgin mother herself would eat off of it.

Raylan: Ellstin, you think for a minute you could cut out that country-bumpkin, barbecue-king bullshit?

You'd rather talk pig sh*t?

Raylan: Close.

Robert Quarles.

[ Cash register drawer closes ]

That supposed to mean something to me?

Raylan: I'm either gonna put him in prison or in the ground.

Well, I'm sure you got your reasons, marshal.

Not sure how I fit in.


Raylan: You're gonna help me.

I would if I could, but, like I said, I don't know any Quarles.

Raylan: Quarles' point man in Harlan county got blowed up today.

A few hours later, I watched your boy Errol pay the grieving mother.

Tell me again that you don't know Robert Quarles.

I'm sorry, marshal.

I lied to you.

Raylan: I know you did.

No, not just now.

I mean before, when I said I did not remember your daddy.

I do remember him.

Truth is, I remember every sh*t I gave him, the way his blood felt on my hands, the crying sound he made when I was laying in on him, and just when the sound was about to stop, he was on his way out... I was gonna finish him off... and looked up and saw you looking... Eyes big as dollar coins.

You was about to pee down your little pants leg.

Raylan: [ Inhales deeply ]

Well, if you thought that memory was gonna upset me, I'm sorry to disappoint.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, if you like, I can tell you what I remember about your mama.

Raylan: That would upset me.

Ellstin.

You must know why Quarles is down here.

There's a w*r coming.

You really want to see Nobles become a battleground?

I appreciate your concern, marshal.

I really do.

But plenty of kings have tried to lay claim on Nobles holler, and none have ever succeeded.

Raylan: Thanks to you and your family.

That's right.

Raylan: That's what you're doing, huh?

Just protecting this holler?

Right now, I'm just trying to close up for the night.

Raylan: So be it.

So be it. [ Sighs ]
