Justified

Previously on "Justified"...

U.S. Attorney's gonna have a lot of questions.

David Vasquez.

I'm looking into your shootings.

Well, should we just do us a shot of Jim Beam, just for old time's sake?

Ava.

I ran into Johnny crowder the other day.

Bo Crowder's getting out of prison soon.

And Ava killed his son.

Johnny thought you might want to get out of Kentucky.

Gonna take more than that to get me going.

The tape is on your right.

Where abouts?

Sorry, sweetheart. My right.

Oh, here we go.

See -- duct, hot melt, maskin', filament.

Where's the plain old American packing tape?

Check that cardboard box on the end.

Okay.

Yeah, that's -- that's it. Right down there.

Mike, raise your eyes.

Mike!

Mike?

Yeah.

Hey, Ava.

Hey, I got a shopping list sent to me by Bo Crowder.

He's getting out real soon,

wants to do a little bit of deer hunting when he gets back.

Oh, I left the list at home, but I think I can clears remember it.

Yeah, he, uh -- he wants a good length of rope, maybe nylon,

Whatever's good at holding a knot in case he has to tie that deer up.

He doesn't want that deer to break free.

And, uh, some of this duct tape,

The, uh, super sticky kind,

Real hard to peel off, you know.

Some, uh, plastic sheeting --

Yeah, you know, just enough to line the trunk of his Buick,

you know, in case it, uh -- in case it gets messy.

Hmm. Shovel. Yeah, that's right -- a shovel.

Real sturdy -- good enough to dig a nice big hole in rocky ground.

And, uh, there was something else.

Shit if I can't remember.

Oh, yeah -- a chainsaw.

Hmm.

Mike, you fill that order for Bo and put it on my tab.

Oh, you can send it to my address in Lexington.

You can pass that address on to Bo,

you know, if he wants to send a thank you note.

Well, that's, uh, mighty thoughtful of you, Ava.

And, uh, if you don't mind one more thing.

Mike, go ahead and throw in a map of Kentucky.

Yeah, the, uh, deer that Bo's hunting --

it's open season wherever the bluegrass grows,

But he might not pursue it past the state line.

Mike, I need you to check my trigger.

Sometimes it just goes off on its own.

Aw, shit, Helen.

Come on, now.

Helen, maybe you could point that gun somewhere else?

Of course.

Goodbye, Johnny.

Hey, tell Raylan I said hey.

Hello?

Ava.

Raylan?

I'm upstairs.

They're bowman's.

You never asked me much about bowman.

I figure you told me what you wanted to.

Don't you want to know the question everyone always asks?

Hmm?

"why didn't you leave him?"

I did.

I went to Corbin and worked at the holiday inn.

"why'd you take him back?"

'cause he said he was sorry.

"why'd you believe him?"

Because I wanted to.

The thing people don't understand --

it's not like he beat me around the clock. I mean, sometimes he was sweet.

At least he tried to be.

Oh...

You know, he thought I liked these.

I must have seen one at someone's house and said, "oh, I like that," you know,

just being polite, but he thought I really liked them so he got them for me.

And I never had the heart to tell him otherwise.

So, there was a light side to bowman.

Mm-hmm.

And I told you about the dark side.

So, here I am going back and forth between light and dark.

Between wanting to sell this house and wanting to burn it to the ground.

I got probation.

You know, I can't leave Kentucky, but I don't have to wear an anklet,

so basically it's just a slap on the wrist.

That make it okay, what I did?

I-I mean, I drink enough I can tell myself it's no big deal,

but killing a man - it's a big deal, isn't it?

I'm gonna have to get a new bed.

Unless I keep this as a conversation piece.

You planning on having a lot of folks up here for conversation?

Thanks for being here.

My pleasure.

You were right.

You got him.

Or a piece of him, anyway.

There's blood on the grass, more than you'd get from flying out a window.

Ail leads up to the road.

Did you see a truck?

I just heard.

By the time I got down there, all I saw were taiights.

Yeah, well, I'll have the crime-scene guy run the tire tracks,

but old pickup trucks in Harlan are just like assholes.

Everyone's got one.

Same goes for these sawed-off shotguns.

Johnny crowder threatened you in the hardware store?

It was veiled and all, but, yeah.

Well, I think I'm gonna go talk to him.

It wasn't him.

And you know this how?

Same way I'd know if it was you. I know Johnny.

I played ball with him for years.

So did you. It wasn't him.

Well, far be it from me to second-guess those acute powers of observations of yours,

but you were rolling around on the floor here, fighting for your life.

I'm going out to county line.

I'm gonna check it out.

All right.

I'd like to come with you.

Don't you want to stay here with Ava?

She can go to the sheriff's station. She'll be safe there, right?

I'm glad we're going over there together.

I might need you to stop me from doing something stupid.

I'm not too popular with the crowders.

Think I am?

You know, I put Bo away five years ago.

He was running drugs up through Harlan.

Wasn't selling, more of a conduit for shit flowing up from the South.

But my problem with the crowders started a while before that.

You remember Henry crowder?

Guy that drove the book mobile around to all the schools.

Mm-hmm.

Mm.

Great guy, sweet guy.

The one good crowder.

Yeah.

Until one day eight years ago

He picked up a 10-year-old little girl, drove her over to...

...pine mountain forest.

Tied her up...

No...

...raped her, strangled her.

Charlotte rose Thomas.

My niece.

Well, I can't imagine anything worse than that.

She'd be finishing High School about now.

You put Henry away.

I spent years searching high and low.

Never found him.

But I rode them crowders hard.

Some folks say that's why I put Bo away for his drug running.

As opposed to you actually doing your job.

Exactly.

Did make a contribution, though.

Oh! oh, shit.

Johnny.

Hey! Raylan givens in the house.

Oh, and looky here. He brought his little cop buddy.

Get your clothes off, Johnny.

Pardon?

Well, I know you speak English.

I believe it's one of your proudest achievements.

Take your clothes off.

You finally coming out as a gay man?

Shit. Good for you.

Somebody took a shot at Ava tonight.

Old Raylan here put one in him.

I want to make sure it ain't you.

Get your clothes off.

Well, I will if you will.

Get your clothes off!

Johnny, listen to him.

You can arrest me if you want,

but it might not go as smooth as you hope it would.

I'll show you how smooth!

Whoa! whoa! whoa!

Bring it!

Hey! hey!

This does not have to go sideways!

I know it wasn't you.

If it was, I figure you'd be in a world of pain.

Maybe you just grazed him.

I hit meat. I heard the man howl.

Jesus, Raylan!

Get off me!

Don't touch me!

You're gonna do this here in my place of business?

What are you doing?!

Let me go!

Satisfied?

I want to see his ass.
