ALVIN: Previously
on Justified City Primeval
CAROLYN: So this never happened.
Nothing changes between us.
My client is still my client.
I don't suppose you've heard anything
about Judge Guy's replacement.
I have a pretrial motion.
Can't talk now.
You tell him to not play
with Mansell and that book.
TRENNELL: He's in too deep
to think with his head.
CLEMENT: Since I'm out of ideas,
question is, who's the mark?
Bulldozer Burt
white-collar, ex-con,
house in Bloomfield Hills.
Sounds like a walk in the park to me.
What is that there?
BURT: Yeah, it's a Stanley Garlick.
- Price is 50.
- 10 is fine.
Evening, Bert.
[GASPS] Jesus Christ.
The judge had a book of
secrets or favors or payoffs.
No one knows where it is.
But it ain't nowhere, and it is the key.
What's wrong, honey?
The judge's book, I just want to see it.
You can take a look at it.
See if somebody could help you.
If there's a wall in Jericho,
it's about to tumble down.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
You good?
I got something you want.
That's fair to say.
Do you still aspire
to see how Judge Guy's book
puts the pieces together?
Carolyn
I want you be careful, now.
So that's the question, isn't it?
Do I trust you with what I know?
Start by taking your coat.
CAROLYN: [SIGHS]
My experience,
if you got to ask somebody
can you trust them,
likely means you already don't.
And yet here I am.
You and me both.
Cuts both ways.
It's a dilemma.
I got a story for you.
1963, a group of Black folks
from Montgomery County, Mississippi,
they sat down at a lunch counter.
They were arrested,
taken to jail, beaten,
held without trial for weeks.
Now, they were arrested because
what they did was not legal,
but it was just.
There are things that I want
to do with that book,
and none of them have a damn
thing to do with what's legal
but everything, everything
to do with what's just.
So do you understand
what it means
For me
To trust you?
RAYLAN: I do.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
But why don't you come inside,
tell me again, make sure I got it?

Lonnie.
[CHAIN RATTLING, DOG BARKING]
BURT: [YELPS]
Lonnie!
[BARKING CONTINUES]
Jesus Christ, Lonnie.
You don't bother to tell me
you got a-a vicious attack dog?
It's not my dog.
Well, then whose
It doesn't matter. It's [SIGHS]
You, uh
This is where you live?
It's where I can afford.
Oh, and I suppose you want
to blame me for that?
Well, don't. The only person
you have to blame is yourself.
I hired you to do a specific job,
and you completely betrayed my trust.
You didn't pay enough.
You stole.
I'm a thief.
Yes, exactly, which, thank you,
that's what brings me here today.
I have an opportunity
that may be more in line with your
let's call it skill set.
- Want me to steal something?
- No, I didn't say steal.
- No.
- You want me to kill someone.
No. Jesus, no. Just let no.
See, Lonnie
I'm not just the Bulldozer.
I'm an art collector,
a dabbler but an enthusiastic one.
Uh-huh.
And I had this painting which, uh,
was very special to me
personal. You understand.
And it was misappropriated
under very upsetting circumstances.
Want me to steal it back?
I'm just saying I would like
to see it on my wall,
and I'm not particularly interested
in how that comes to be.
I ain't looking to hurt anybody.
No, no, no, nobody needs
to get hurt or killed.
I just want my Stanley Garlick back.
Here.
Oh, look at that. It's beautiful.
Look at the brushwork.
LONNIE: Who's got it?
Uh, this is footage from
a book-shelf cam in my office.
See that man there?
- LONNIE: The white dude?
- BURT: Yes, the white dude.
You know where he is?
Well, I was hoping you would
come to find him on your own.
Or perhaps his partner would know.
[GROANS]
I was supposed to get
a severance package.
Yes, before you were caught
stealing from me,
yes, you were supposed
to get a severance package,
but that ship sailed with the promise
that you wouldn't be indicted.
[SLURPS]
It is a nice painting, though.
Okay, tell me what you're
thinking, and we'll see.
CLEMENT: The new ones ain't
even got a little slot, for the CD,
I mean, not that I'd want
a compact disc,
but you looking
for a operating tape deck,
you want to go pre-'90s.
Now, this is a '83,
a little shimmy in the steering wheel,
but there's a subwoofer
underneath the back seat
that makes a pretty good racket.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
Why don't you just buy
yourself a tape deck
and carry it around with you?
Then you can boost any old whip.
[SCOFFS] Shit, hump around
some ghetto blaster
like I'm on Fat Albert?
I don't think that's a solution.
I'm just saying, it's peculiar.
CLEMENT: Oh, hush.
There he is.
- You just hush me?
- CLEMENT: Sorry, boss.
Uh, you get the the dude's page?
Yeah, I got the dude's page.

Said it's all he's got.
Well, then what the fuck?
I told him I had
to consult with my partner,
which is what I'm doing.
CLEMENT: Look at him,
shrugging poor mouth at me.
This is a cocky son of bitch.
He said he ain't got it,
he ain't got it.
- Blood from a stone.
- Bullshit.
Nobody's got 12 grand that ain't got 15.

You're gonna have
to go a-a little slower.
It's a lot to take in.
Can't help but notice you've
hardly touched your coffee.
I'm beyond coffee. Run this back.
You're saying Sweeton and Mansell,
having come into possession
of Judge Guy's book,
are using it to shake down
the people they find inside.
I am, and they are.
And if we can get Mansell
with this book
physically on his person
Got to be something like
having him dead to rights.
Uh, listen to you.
What time is the parade?
[SIGHS]
[INHALES DEEPLY]
So
assuming we can somehow dredge up a name
from Judge Guy's book,
we set a trap for Mansell.
- Not somehow. I have a name.
- You have a name?
Someone maximally leveraged
to aid in our cause.
And this maximally leveraged person
will cut a deal
in order to keep their name
out of the light,
and that process somehow renders up
- Mansell on the Half Shell?
- Again, not somehow.
How do we know Mansell
shows up and not Sweety?
How do we know they'll be interested?
I ain't saying there aren't variables.
MAUREEN: Where are you getting
this shit? Who's your source?
What's with the cloak
and dagger all of a s
Are we talking about a sting?
Here's the deal if we don't do this,
we're just waiting for them
to make another move,
and every move Mansell makes
could be a move someone gets killed.
Now, we have a chance
to do this a different way,
some might say the right way,
and I feel like I'd be remiss
Jesus Christ,
you're sleeping with
Mansell's lawyer, aren't you?
Wow, okay.

You can sulk all you want,

First guy didn't rip us off.
He changed the price at the last minute.
Yeah, I've been thinking about that,
and I still think it was the smart play.
It's kind of like buying a car.
Fuck, have you ever bought a car?

Daddy used to sell Buicks,

It is, and it's

You're a handwriting analyst now?
Think I don't have some of my own,

You got no proof
something no one alive can verify,
just words on a piece of paper.
We have explicit documentation
that you and Judge Guy took bribes
to let cops off for bad shootings.
No burden to prove that
in a court of law.
