PERSON: Previously
ON JUSTIFIED: City Primeval
What is that there?
PERSON: It's a Stanley Garlick.
It was misappropriated.
It breaks my heart to part with it.
RAYLAN: Wasn't there a suspect
you guys brought in?
WENDELL: Afghanistan vet,
name of Darrold Woods.
We know he didn't do it. Mansell did it.
You want him, you better find
him quick, or he'll be dead.
MAUREEN: Sweeton and Mansell,
having come into possession
of Judge Guy's book,
are using it to shake down
the people they find inside.
We have a chance
to do this a different way.
My name is in that book.
Help us or everybody reads
about it in the free press.
CAROLYN: What would it cost
to get that page destroyed?
I guess that depends on you.
Man's name is Clement Mansell.
He's gotta go. Kill Mansell.
CAROLYN: You bring the book?
- You bring me some money?
- Let's move.
MANSELL: God damn, Marshal,
people gonna think we're in love.
- He's clean.
- WENDELL: The hell you say?
MAUREEN: Cigarettes, lighter,
a couple of breath mints.
Am I actually watching
this man walk away right now?
SWEETY: I gotta go out
listening to your honky,
chicken fat bullshit?

I guess he don't like me
calling him a cheat.
I told him.
"I'm tired
of your bullshit excuses, man."
I look at him in the eye,
and I say, "You see my hand?
"You know what it's doing in my pocket?"
"Well it ain't playing with my dick."

you got with you tonight?
Who, Carolyn?
She your daughter?
Nah, nah, her moms went out tonight.
I just babysit sometimes.
Told her pops that, you know,
I'd look out for his little girl.
What happened to her daddy?
He worked a line at GM,
and when the plant closed
He died of a rough life, man.
Broken heart.
Any guy that works
a straight job is a chump.

He's coming back this weekend.

gonna put him away forever

I wouldn't do it,

He ain't gonna walk this time.
Bullshit.
You don't know.
The only way in the world
I'll tell you right now
I'd ever testify against Clement
is if he was dead and buried
with a stake through his heart,

You can send me to jail if you want.
I'm not saying one fucking word.
Why do you stay with him?
He's fun.
All I want you to do is listen.
I'm not asking you to testify.

that a person of interest
is in custody for the murders
of Judge Alvin Guy
and Wayne County Court Clerk Rose Doyle.
That suspect is Darrold Woods,
an Afghan vet who was questioned
and released on the night of the murders
and has now been detained
as new information
has come to light.
We are working to get
more information about Woods,
who, it appears, has no fixed address

mostly on drug-related charges.
