TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] Markham: Ava Crowder stole my money. Stole it from the man who stole it from me. That man being your new business partner, Boyd. Stiles: Let's go. All right, now you're gonna have to make this look good. How about you hit me? [grunts] Carl: That look good enough to you, you son of a bitch? [gunshot] Zachariah: [grunts] Boyd: Where is she? Zachariah: She ain't here! Boyd: Ava? You need to get me to that money before I get to her. Zachariah: I'd sooner die than give you anything you want. [siren wailing] Ava: There's a million dollars in there! You let me go, you can have it. Crosley: I do not know what Mr. Markham has got planned for you, but I don't want him to do it to me. Tim: Looks like we can't keep the whole "Raylan Givens gone rogue" thing in-house. Vasquez: I'm gonna need a bolo issued for Raylan Givens. Tim: I just heard him tell the FBI ballsack to issue a bolo. Art: Well, sh1t. Lappicola: Raylan Givens? 6x13 - "Promise" [police radio chatter] Raylan: You're making a mistake. Lappicola: You know how many guys have said that to me when I put the cuffs on 'em? Raylan: About the same amount that have said it to me. Lappicola: [sighs] Guess you think reminding me you're a fellow lawman's gonna draw you some water. Fact is, you having that badge to hide behind just makes it worse. Watch your head. [clattering] [music] Markham: [scoffs] Where's the rest of it? Have a seat. Ava, you remember the first day I laid eyes on you? Told you that for a woman to survive in this line, she had to be tougher
SUMMARY:
Injured Boyd unearths Grubes' grave looking for the money, giving the Federals time to close in on him. 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."
