And I look after the big house, muck and feed when she's not around, and I-I... And you got him right. Art: And if Ava knows where the rest of it is and tries to use it as leverage? Ava: I dragged it on a sled. Ava: I told him you and me are the only two living souls know where that money's hid. Ava: So, you on your way? Ava: Who says anyone did? Boyd: Ava? Boyd: There I was, in the middle of the Mexican desert, driving a truck filled with the bodies of murdered men, followed by a car with a trunkload of heroin. Boyd: To be continued. Boyd: W... Was she alone, Raylan? Boyd: We dug coal together. Boyd: Well, I guess in that case, you ought to pick up where we left off in the woods, Raylan. Boyd: You tell him to send an unarmed man, meet me at Compass rock...
Ava: Compass rock. Boyd: [laughs] Raylan Givens, I know you have never believed a word that has come out of my mouth, though I have harbored the secret hope that you have nevertheless enjoyed hearing them. But I pulled up to the barn just in time to watch you two pull away. Crowder started throwing dynamite. Dog team on Ava tracked her scent to Tates Creek bridge, half a mile away, then it ran out. He gets you out of Harlan in exchange for the location of the money. I tried it on, and it fit. I'd like to be the one to take him in. It's buried on his property. Little cabin there ... belongs to a fella called Grubes. Nelson: You know, I think I saw...
Raylan: [sighs]
FOUR YEARS LATER...
Raylan: Worst possible flavor. No deals. Rachel: And neither one of them's Crowder. Rachel: We've got air support covering the mountain from the back, but anyone gets a visual, call it in and the choppers will maneuver to that area. Raylan: I don't intend to see Boyd again in this life. Raylan: KSP found Dewey's necklace. Raylan: Well, it's a long way to Lexington. Raylan: You are going to tell us where he is, and you ain't gonna tip him off. Raylan: You asking why I came? Raylan: You got a bunch of Eastern-Kentucky lawmen to give up their guns? That mountain's crawling with federals. Thought it was news that should be delivered in person. Which means Markham's probably gonna get to her, sweat her into giving up his money, then sweat her some more for taking it in the first place. Who helped you? [Cellphone vibrates]
If he's at the Bennett shed, it means that Loretta is either partnered up with him, or ...
Art: Let's cross that bridge when we come to it. [Darrell Scott's "You'll never leave Harlan alive" plays]

Raylan: Three years ago. asked Ava if that was all of it,

He runs further up the mountain, throwing dynamite to deter pursuit. Ava is brought to Loretta's barn to see Avery, and says that Zackariah helped her drag the money up to Grubes' property on a mountain now crawling with Federals searching for Boyd. They have her call the cabin and she speaks with Boyd, as Zackariah, telling him to bring the money to them, while enticing Boyd to rescue her as she's the only one who knows where the money is hid. Boyd tells them to meet him at another location to divide Avery's forces, drawing away Boon and Loretta. Art talks the state troopers into remanding Raylan to his custody, and is convinced to help Raylan find Ava. Having heard that police dogs tracked Ava's scent to Dewey's necklace, they realize she was picked up and force one of Avery's crooked cops to give up his location. Art must return to the manhunt so Raylan goes alone. Boyd gets there first using one of the crooked cops as a shield; Avery starts shooting and Boyd comes out on top, shooting Avery through the eye and killing all the crooked cops, then pulling the trigger on Ava though his gun is by then empty. Raylan arrives and kicks a loaded gun over to Boyd that they might finish their business, though Boyd refuses. Soon the Marshals arrive in force and Boyd is walked out in cuffs. Raylan is driving Ava in to Lexington, told that there are no deals to be made, ominous music playing as they drive through the hills. They are hit by Boon who forces a quick draw gunfight. Both men draw and shoot, Boon taking one in the upper chest while Raylan is shot through his hat, collapsing. Boon struggles to take another shot when Loretta steps on his wrist and watches him die. Raylan comes around and examines his wound when Ava drives off with his car. (It is suggested that she was picked up by Wynn Duffy, who also vanished.) Raylan moves on, and four years later he is in Miami and part of his daughter's life though Winona is with a new man. Raylan gets a lead and finds Ava living a quiet life on a ranch in Lebec, California, where she reveals that she has a boy, Zackariah, and desperately asks Raylan not to let Boyd know about him. Raylan leaves Ava but calls on Boyd, who is back to preaching in prison, and tells him that they just put together that Ava died in a car crash with a stolen identity three years earlier. Boyd asks why Raylan went out of his way to deliver the news in person, and answers himself, "We dug coal together", to which Raylan responds, "That's right."
