Justified (2010–2015): Season 1, Episode 13 - Bulletville - full transcript

Previously on "Justified"...

You have to do something
about your son Boyd.

He has gone clear
off the deep end.

I got control over my boy.

Can you say the same about yours?

We know you ran bo's protection
racket into the dirt,

so it don't take a prophet
to see the future from here.

Okay, you can either sit around
waiting to catch a bullet...

Or you can accept protection
from the marshals service.

This is Ernesto and Pilar.

Tomorrow, they'll get into
a truck and, in two days,



deliver the shipment of
ephedrine you requested.

Now, you bring meth into our
homes, and I will destroy it

you destroy my shit, it's the
same thing as destroying yourself

Fire in the hole!

Ava?

Ava!

Who is that?

It's Boyd.

You get the hell away from here.

I apologize for the late hour.

I-I just want a word.

What the hell you want?

I am alone, and my hands
are empty, as you can see.

Yeah, well, maybe you can use



them to keep this shot from
ripping open your chest.

And I can only imagine that

you'd want to do that,
Ava, given our history.

Boyd, I got to warn you --

if I start counting down from
10, I may lose patience at 5.

I just came to say I'm sorry.

I will leave now and
disturb you no further.

Sorry about what?

So many things that
I have done to you.

Well, it's hard to
know where to begin.

I suppose I could start with
the last time I saw you.

I held you hostage
in your own home,

and I instigated a shootout
in your dining room.

That didn't end so bad,
far as I was concerned.

Well, before that, for
years, I lusted after you,

and I was far from subtle.

Well, that was wrong.

Not only because you
were my brother's wife,

but because it -
it was unseemly, unwanted,

and it made you uncomfortable.

If by "Uncomfortable," You mean
it made my skin crawl, then yes.

But by far, my biggest regret
concerns my brother, bowman.

Why? You wish he was never born?

No, no, no.

I don't question the will

of God bringing any
soul into this world.

My regret is that...

I did nothing to stop

or in any way curtail
his atrocious behavior.

I know how he was, Ava,

yet I took no action, and for
that, I am deeply, deeply sorry.

For that which I have done.

I will gladly do it.

How 'bout what you do for me...

Is you leave here and
you never see me again.

Let's start there.

All right.

Bulletville
Original Air Date on June 13, 2010

Son of a bitch, Rufus!
What the hell's wrong with you?!

What time is it?

45.

Get off my coat.

What the hell is the
matter with you?

They should have been here by now.

Call bo.

Where the hell you going?

See if they got lost.

Ain't they got GPS?

He can be a real old
lady sometimes, can't he?

Yes, but he ain't got
to be such a bitch.

God almighty, cousin.
Where you been?

I had matters to attend to.

Did you intercept the truck?

We did, and we got the shipment.

Ho-ho! Damn, boy!

We are taking over!

What you do with the drivers?

I sent them back to
where they come from.

W-wait. What?

You let them go?

They should be halfway
to Tennessee by now.

No. No, Boyd.

T-they were just
supposed to disappear,

along with the truck
and the shipment.

Where's the shipment?

Johnny, it went up
in a pillar of fire.

Okay, enough of this
bullshit, okay, Boyd?

It's time to start
talking serious now.

I could not allow that
poison back into Harlan.

We had a plan, Boyd.

Remember?

Shipment disappears,
bo takes the fall,

and you and me, we step up.

Is there a part of this plan
that you did not understand?

Johnny, listen to me.

Now, do you want to spend

the rest of eternity
writhing in hellfire?

Because that's how
your plan ends, son.

Well, you didn't tell me, cousin,

That your plan was to go out
there and blow the shit up!

And in that omission,
I have sinned,

And I beg forgiveness
from the lord.

You have always been crazy...
but this is bat-shit crazy.

You have any idea how
ugly it's gonna get now?

I am ready to reap the whirlwind.

God!

Well, I am not, okay?

Om here on out -- you

understand me -
you just stay clear of me,

Or I will kill you
with these bare hands!

As you wish.

About 3 in the A.M.
, Harlan sheriff's office got a call

about a truck fire out
on a country road.

And in the debris, they found
all these scorched metal rims

for about a dozen shipping drums

And all this residue that

their forensics guy
identified as ephedrine.

A dozen barrels of ephedrine?

Somebody is going into the
meth business in a big way.

From the debris pattern,

looks like the truck's
payload was blown up

like somebody hit it
with a rocket launcher.

Boyd.

Boyd's m.O., anyway.

Anyone killed?

No sign of the driver, But the

truck was reported stolen
in Florida a week ago.

Well, bo's got a connection
with the Miami cartel.

Could be their ephedrine.

That'd make sense.

But Boyd blowing up
bo's shipment doesn't.

Unless he and his daddy
aren't working together.

He did say we were
on the same team now.

I just assumed he
was full of shit.

Maybe he's become some
kind of vigilante.

Mm. Maybe he's Batman.

Maybe we should just look
the other way for a while,

let him clean up Harlan.

Your father was supposed

to meet bo crowder at
Johnny's bar tonight

and in light of current events,

maybe we should give some
thought to how to proceed.

Give Arlo a call have him
come up here to Lexington.

It ain't that hard.

You follow him wherever he goes
and try not to let him see you.

You want us to call you?

No, I'll call you.

Go.

Where the hell have you been?

Out looking for the drivers.

W-who are they supposed to be?

Them? They're the drivers!

They're also very close associates
with our friend in Miami.

They were just telling
me a hell of a story.

You want to tell the same
story to my nephew, please?

There was a pickup on
the side of the road.

When we went to go move it,

a man with a shoulder missile
came out and blew up our truck.

And what did he say just
before he blew the truck?

"Fire in the hole."

Oh, yeah.

When we find him...

Arrancamos los huevos...

And shove them up his ass!

Oye, viejo.

How you think it's gonna go for

you when our Uncle finds
out you lost his shipment?

Not very well.

Tremenda candela.

"Not well at all."

Maybe we should try to

put off him finding out
as long as possible.

Lock 'em up.

Are you shittin' me?

When Gio finds out, he's gonna
feed you to his alligator.

Saddle up, Johnny. An alligator.

I didn't have anything to
do with blow up the truck.

No one said you do.

I didn't have
anything to do either.

We just want to make sure

that you understand how
this changes things.

Our focus has been on Boyd,
getting him back in prison.

To make up for you screwing up
your case by making time with Ava?

Pretty much.

The bo crowder operation now is
gonna have a lot more eyes on it.

And that means you are
now gonna be the star c.I

For an investigation that
includes the FBI and the DEA.

I'm not gonna be working
with you anymore?

Yes, you are.

But you're gonna be
working with them, too.

Not just a little family
affair anymore, Arlo.

How much more do you
figure they'll pay me?

I'm nothing if not
predictable, huh?

Like phases of the moon.

The first step is gonna

be to have you sit down
with a.U.S.A. Vasquez

and he is gonna be in a
grand-jury meeting all day

so that's gonna have
to happen later.

You got anyplace that your

father could lay low until
that meeting can happen?

Someplace that's not my office?

Good morning, gentlemen.

Good morning, daddy.

To what do we owe the pleasure?

Well, looks like
you've been a bad boy.

You know what happens to bad boys?

They get spanked.

Well, I told you what Would

happen if you brought
that poison here, daddy.

And I told you what would
happen if that happened.

Who am I kidding?

I can't hurt my own son.

Johnny, hurt my son.

Glad to oblige.

And don't stop till I tell you.

No, sir.

Hey, Boyd.

Hey, Johnny.

This is gonna hurt.

Shut up.

Turning the other
cheek on me, Boyd?

Think he's had enough?

I do not.

You want me to kill him?

That ain't the worst
idea I heard today.

We never was as close as
we should have been, son.

But how did it ever come to this?

I don't know, daddy.

I guess it's just
one of those things.

I guess it is.

Where you hiding them guns?

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

Listen up!

Unless you want to stand there

And watch your little tin-pot
messiah here get beat to death,

You better start telling me where
you're hiding them damn weapons!

Johnny.

Oh!

Hey. It's under the fire.

Well, grab shovels
and start digging.

Now!

Come on, move it!

Let's go!

Go!

Not you.

You leave.

I will not leave.

Oh, yeah, you will.

Because after we dig up them
guns, we're gonna rope your

merry band to these trees, and
merry band to these trees, and

then I'm gonna call your
then I'm gonna call your

marshal friend Raylan and tell
him to come on out, and your

Flock is gonna be sent away on
numerous parole violations, I suspect.

And I will go with them.

Oh, you're not getting
the point here.

You're done.

You're no longer my son.

You're no longer their leader.

You are being cast into exile.

I will not abandon them.

Okay.

You can open your eyes.

I ain't gonna kill you.

I'm gonna kill one of them --

Unless you leave.

So help me out here.

Which one should it be?

Did you think you could do
what you did and there'd be no

You did and there'd
be no consequences?!

All that transpires
here is on you!

You think about that while
you're in exile, church leader!

All of this -- it's on you.

Make yourself comfortable.

Just not too comfortable.

Just not too no danger of that.

I'm supposed to be down in
Harlan tonight to meet with bo.

No, cancel that.
Tell him you're feeling sick.

Tell him you're feeling sick.
Tell him you'll meet him tomorrow, okay?

There a bar around here?

Just stay put, and I'll get
you when the time comes.

Well, how long's he been there?

And you're sure he's by himself?

All right. I'm on my way.

You call me if he moves.

Release the hounds.

Y'all come on up
out of there, now.

I'm sorry we didn't have the bridal
suite ready for you this week.

Not as sorry as you're
gonna be, dead man. Ugh!

Listen to me, pancho. Everybody's
got to die sometime or another.

I ain't got no alligators, but I
do know where there's some real

Deep mine shafts around here, so
it might be a good idea for us

It might be a good idea for us
to keep this on a friendly basis.

You got me, there?

I couldn't hear you.

Yes.

Yes...

Yes, sir.

See? Was that so hard?

You -- call Gio.

Tell him I took care of that
man that blew up his truck.

He's dead?

He's out of business.

But Gio's out $2 million.

Gio's gonna get his $2 million.

He's gonna get every Penny that I owe
him -- and a little something extra.

What else?

I prefer talking to Gio
about that -- personally.

Hey.

Hey. Glad I ran into you.

Well, I'm glad you're glad.

No -- I mean, yes. Uh...

Uh...

We should talk. Raylan.

Art. Winona, how are you?

I'm fine, chief. How are you?

Never better.

Good.

Raylan, you want to take
a ride upstairs with me?

There a problem?

Well, Vasquez got
a 15-minute break.

We need to brief him and also
arrange a sit-down with our Winona.

Um, can I catch up with you?

I'll wait.

You got till the elevator comes.

Anytime is good for me -- to talk.

And I mean just talk.

Yeah. Well, I'm open.

Gary's at the athletic club.
Living there.

Maybe we could talk
about that. Raylan?

Right now!

Good to see you, Winona.

You too, chief.

And that's when you got arrested?

That's when I got arrested.
All right, you know...

...you were probably drunk, and
everyone in the courtroom --

Who is it? Open the door, Arlo.

Are you out of your mind?

You have no idea. You're not supposed
to know I'm working with the marshals.

Are you wearing a wire?

How's it look, you
knowing I'm here?

What if Raylan answered the door?

Raylan's not home, is he?
You got a shadow on me?

How do you know there's
not a Mike in the ceiling?

What are the chances they're
gonna bug their own guy's place?

Fair enough. Why are you here?

Why are you here?

Doesn't look to me like you're gonna be
able to make our meeting at the pine top.

Things are different.

They know about Boyd
blowing up your shipment.

That he's not working for you.

Yeah, they got that right.

They're gonna give
me new handlers.

Who?

FBI...

DEA...

Which is good.

Give me a chance to give you
even better information.

Yeah, you see, the problem
there is, I still don't know

Whether or not I can trust you.

You've known me 50 years.

You think that ought to incline
me to trust you more or less?

Help me see what it is
from your side, Arlo.

What's in it for you backing
me against the feds?

You scare me, bo.

A hell of a lot more than
any damn federal agents.

Right.

You know, there is one thing
you could do for me that just

might settle my mind
once and for all.

What thing is that?

Sit down, Arlo.

It won't be an easy thing.
I mean, how could it be?

Make everything good between us,
put us back in business again.

The other day, we were talking
about our boys -- how much

Trouble they'd gotten us
into, which one was worse.

Well, mine's worse. That shipment
that Boyd blew up was very valuable.

It was sent to me by
a friend in Miami.

I have a lot to do to try and
repair my relationship with that

Repair my relationship
with that man, and...

Money alone won't cut it.
To make matters worse, my Miami

Friend lost a Captain and
a couple of button men to

a certain deputy marshal.

In order for me to get square
with him, I'm gonna have to ask

you to help me give them Raylan.

Dear heavenly father, I'm not
gonna pretend to understand.

You told me what you wanted done.

And that's what we did.

How could you let
it end like this?

All these men...

Trusted me to lead them on
the path of righteousness...

For your name's sake.

All these men came to you
because they believed in me.

And now they're dead.

I'm gonna need a sign.

I'm gonna need to know that their
sacrifice meant something to you.

Maybe I've just been talking
to myself this whole time.

We set a meeting for you and the
a.U.S.A. First thing in the morning.

Everything all right?

I've been cooped up here all day with
nothing to do but watch tv and sleep.

No one said it'd be easy, Arlo.

How about we get you your
own room with your own tv?

Sound good?

Sounds good.

Let me just put my shit down, and
I'll call the girl at the front desk.

Want a drink?

Of my own liquor?

Sure. Why not?

Thanks. Welcome.

You ever gonna get married again?

What brought that on?

I'm just making small talk.

I don't know. Maybe.

Never showed much aptitude for it.

Guess if the girls chased me like
they Chase you, I'd stay single, too.

What are you talking about?

I remember the girls always
chased you since you were 12.

Like hell.

Ava crowder.

You're gonna tell me
she didn't Chase you?

She didn't have to.

Remember your mama's laugh?

She had a good one.

She always hoped you and
me would get closer.

Hm.

Maybe things would
be ain't our way.

You should get married again.
Not living like this.

What's going on, Arlo?

You keep checking your watch.

Just wondered how long
I've been a prisoner here.

That all, huh?

That's it.

We never had much in
common, you and me, but...

That doesn't mean I
don't have regrets.

Put the gun down.

When are they coming?

They're waiting outside.

How long you known?

Well, Arlo, in truth...

I think I've always known.

This isn't something
I wanted to do, son.

No.

No. Don't call me that.

What's the plan?

For me to shoot you in the leg.

Bo wants to take you alive.
Aah! aah!

Aah! aah!

Then what happens?

Where is he?

Drop your guns, fellas.

911. What is your emergency?

Ava crowder!

Hey, Ava.

What are you doing here, Johnny?

It's Raylan.

Got some bad news.

What are you talking about?

Oh, no! l-let go of me!

Give me that shotgun.

A little help here!

Watch your head.

Johnny, get your ass up here.

What are we gonna do with her?

What the hell?

This is for tipping Boyd
off about that shipment.

Now, h-hey, now, Uncle
bo, t-that wasn't me --

You know, when they get here, all they're
gonna find is you dead and Ava gone.

They'll figure that she killed
another crowder come to harass

Her and then she lit out
for the Territories.

That'll just be a
theory, you know.

They'll never be able
to tell for sure.

Ain't nobody ever gonna
see little Ava again.

So long, Johnny.

- Aah. Don't.
- Shut up.

- Easy.
- Does it hurt?

What do you think?

I think it hurts.

You happy about that?

What in God's name, Raylan?

Your daddy sent them after me.

Dear lord.

What are you doing here?

I... I am lost, Raylan.

What the hell does that mean?

I sent my flock to slaughter.

I'm not following you, Boyd.

My -- my daddy, h-he...
he -- he killed all my men, Raylan.

He killed all of them.

What happened to Arlo?

He took a bullet. Ava?

Marshal. I figured either one
of my guys would answer the call

or you would.

Seeing as you're still alive, I
guess I can pretty well figure

Out what happened with Arlo.

You're on Ava's phone.

Yeah. You get the picture.
I'd let you say "hi" to her, but

She's in the trunk.

So, what happens now?

Why don't you get in your car and
start driving toward Bulletville?

You ought to be
there about sunrise.

I'll call you with directions
when you get close.

I know I don't need to
tell you to come alone.

Yeah, I figured that.

'cause if I see a cop, or a helicopter, or even
a glint from a sniper's scope, I will kill Ava.

I'll be alone.

That's all I ask.
We'll make a straight trade.

- My life for hers?
- Something like that.

He has Ava?

Yep.

Where does he want you to go?

West towards Bulletville.

He has a cabin out
in brogie holler.

Is that right?

I know every inch
of brogie holler.

How many men he got with him?

Well, you got Heckyll and
Jekyll, so that leaves

Hestler, Rufus, my cousin
Johnny, and two other men.

Any of them good with a gun?

They're not as good as you.

You were telling the truth, huh?

This conversion?

Was I?

I don't know now, Raylan.
I'm so confused.

Yeah.

Do you believe in God?

I do.

Tell me about your God, Raylan.

Well, you know -- white hair, long
beard, sits on on a heavenly throne.

I set all this into
motion, didn't I?

Actually, I think me
shooting Tommy bucks might

have had something to do with it.

I'll approach them straight up front.
You make your way around back.

If you can get Ava out, do it.

Well, I'm gonna need a gun.

Understand, Boyd -
you take ***

if I'm not dead.

And you're not dead.

You afraid you give me a
gun, I'd turn it on you?

Mr. Crowder.

Raylan.

Make sure and get that backup.

This old boy can't be
trusted with a cap gun.

I hope you know how sorry
I am about this, marshal.

Yeah. You seem torn up.

Well, I ain't saying
I'm gonna throw myself

on top of Your coffin or anything,

but this "bring him in to me
alive" shit ain't quite my style.

I'd kill you quick if I could.

Thoughtful of you.

- So?
- Now what?

Come on inside.

We got something rigged up.
You're gonna love it.

Hestler's been
keeping Ava company.

Well, let's go see.

Raylan, I'm gonna need you
to step away from my father.

Boyd...

You don't want to do that.

Not something I want
to do, my friend.

It's something I have to do.

Step back, please.

You didn't come to save
my ass, did you, boy?

No, daddy, I did not.

You gonna shoot me, son? That it?

Maybe.

It don't really seem right.

I had a chance to kill
you, and I didn't do it.

That's where you're wrong, daddy.

There's more than one
way to kill a man.

You can kill his physical body,
or you can kill his spirit within.

You gonna pull the trigger,
or you gonna talk me to death?

Who are these people?

Raylan, who is out there?

Miami gun thugs, I suspect.

What do they want?

Me.

You thinking about giving
yourself up to save us?

Well, if I thought that'd
work, I might consider it,

but I'm getting the impression
they intend to kill us all.

How many you figure are out there?

More than one.

I think I saw two in the trees.

Looks like we got two
more in a vehicle.

Ava.

Raylan?

Next time I ask you to
get out of Harlan...

I'll get the hell out of Harlan.

You do seem to have a
penchant for getting abducted.

Well, hey, it's a knack.

Is my daddy moving?

No.

Okay. Ava?

Yeah?

That window over your
right shoulder...

Yeah?

...when I say, stick your
gun out and take two shots.

At what?

Don't matter.

All right.

Now.

Ugh! one down.

Uh, will you hand me that rag?

Put it right on here.

Where's Johnny?

Bo shot him at my house,

Said that he betrayed him to you,

said everyone would think that
I-I shot another crowder and ran.

Is he dead?

I don't know. He was gutshot.

Oh, dear lord.

I got your man out back!

That leaves three of us -
only two of you!

You start walking,
we'll hold our fire!

You guys good? You all right?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.

- You good, Ava?
- Yeah.

You didn't happen to bring
your rocket launcher, did you?

I didn't think to pack one.

All we want is Raylan givens!

I'm Raylan givens!

No, I'm Raylan givens!

Are you trying to be funny?

A little.

We get givens, the
other two can walk.

I ain't going anywhere.
They killed my daddy.

You came here to kill
your daddy yourself.

- Well, that's different.
- How?

You got to kill the two men
who came after your daddy.

You give me the same courtesy.

Why don't we all just run?

Well, someone's got to keep them here
for the other two to have a chance,

and if we all stay here,
night comes, we're dead.

Only one way this works.

I'll stay, then.

Boyd, I'm asking you -
take Ava out of here.

Come on.

I don't suppose you'd flip on Gio?

Come on out, and we'll discuss it.

Well, I see empty hands, maybe.

Yeah. How do we know
you won't shoot us?

How about...I come out unarmed

and you come out
unarmed and we talk?

Okay.

The second he clears, you
shoot him in the gut.

Maybe we can get him
to Gio before he dies.

Gotcha.

My hands are empty.

Me too.

Where's your friend?

Is he dead?

Yeah, I think so.

Where's Ava?

She's running through the woods.

Where you going?

I'm going after the young lady
with the automatic weapon.

I'll get her.

What are you gonna
do after you get her?

I ain't quite figured
that out yet.

You gonna shoot to stop me?

Maybe.

I'm pretty sure you're empty.

You gonna bet your life on that?

No, Raylan, I'm gonna
bet my life on you

being the only friend I
have left in this world.
