Dickie: Wait, Raylan! Take me to work. I had my own plans for Dickie on account of his shooting Ava, but you said you needed him, so I let you have him under the condition that you would return him to me once his services had been rendered. Raylan: And you think I'm gonna hand a man over to you to be murdered like he is, what, some pig I borrowed from you? Raylan: I got half a mind to kick...

Art: R-a-y-l-a-n.

Recovering from a GSW. Detroit is concerned. Detroit did not make an investment, Emmitt. Arlo: About three weeks. Raylan: Who says? Winona: You ready to get back in action? Couple of kids tried to rob you. You shot and killed four men. Tim: No, but Fletcher "the ice pick" Nix is. The stab wounds on the victim's hands are consistent with an ice pick. Raylan: Deputy Gutterson has some questions for you. Wynn: Oh. Raylan: That ain't exactly an answer. Raylan: Emmitt Arnett. Dixie mafia shot-caller out of Frankfort. And, by the way, Raylan Givens is on his way to talk to you. I don't think Mr. Arnett's in the real-estate business. Raylan: Like Wynn Duffy. [ Gear shifts ]
Raylan: This is Fletcher Nix? Ava: Those were Boyd's orders...
Devil: Yeah, well, Boyd's not here, is he? Art: Fletcher Nix? Kneel down. Nix sent some homeless guy to do the drop, and arnett sent some guy that might have been a bodyguard, but we don't know now because he's all lawyered up.

When Raylan refuses to hand over Dickie, Boyd attacks Raylan and is arrested. He relays orders through Ava, who has to deal with Devil's insubordination. Dixie Mafia associate Emmitt Arnett (Steven Flynn) is visited by Detroit enforcer Quarles ( Neal McDonough ), who demands repayment for a failed real estate investment. Arnett sends Fletcher Nix ( Desmond Harrington ) to rob a man to pay back the Detroit mob; Nix shoots the man after stabbing his hand with an icepick. Deputy Tim recognizes the MO and drags an unwilling Raylan to question Wynn Duffy ( Jere Burns ), for whom Nix works. Wynn denies involvement but warns Arnett, whose secretary, in league with Quarles, reveals to Raylan that Arnett is arranging a meeting that night with Nix. Arnett sends a bodyguard to the meeting while Nix sends a homeless man. Quarles shoots Arnett and his secretary. Raylan takes Winona to his apartment, where Nix is waiting to kill him under Arnett's orders, but Raylan gets the upper hand and shoots Nix. Arriving in prison, Boyd stares down a shocked Dickie.
