What A Tangled Web

...and speaking of hills, we then cut to the boys walking with Mary having left them, and Boyd saying he never knew Raylan had hills in his blood. "I'd whistle the theme song to Deliverance if I thought you had a better sense of humor." Hee. Raylan explains that his mother was never embarrassed by her roots, but Arlo didn't like her talking about it. After a bit more talk about their fathers, Boyd suggests this is the time where they declare that the best man wins and holds out his hand -- whereupon Raylan grabs it and handcuffs his arms around a tree and given what they were talking about, I hope no one's around to tell Boyd he has a purty mouth. Raylan says he does in fact have a sense of humor -- "I know I'm laughin'" -- and takes off. Boyd calls that he doesn't like Raylan and Raylan tells him the feeling is mutual, which I feel like might be poking fun at the TCAs, at which Tim Olyphant has said that Raylan doesn't like Boyd (i.e., all of them).

Colton and Tim are bonding about wartime experiences and drawing comparisons between the places in which they fought and Harlan, and then Colton asks Tim's advice on finding someone who doesn't want to be found. In response, Tim tries to recruit Colton for the Marshal Service, but we don't get to find out how serious he is, as Raylan appears and happily tells him to put on the kibosh Arlo's deal, as they have a line on Thompson and he's in Harlan. He then tells Colton that Boyd is up the trail about a mile or so. "You're gonna need a saw." We don't see Colton's face, but with the day he's had, he can't be thrilled to hear that.

Whether by saw or not, Colton apparently managed to free Boyd with a minimum of fuss, if Boyd's bright mood as he reports to Wynn that he expects to find Thompson within a week is any indication. Wynn compliments the "impressive" work, although I wonder what he'd say if he knew Raylan was starting out from the same place, but Boyd seizes on that word choice as a prelude to asking for half the heroin business in the state of Kentucky. Wynn gives the verbal equivalent of an eyebrow-raise, but does concede that Boyd is tenacious. "I hate that in a person." Hee. Wynn agrees to the terms -- only once the call is done, he tells Johnny -- who just so happens to be with him -- that he can promise Boyd "a rocket ship and a goddamn unicorn" for now, but once Boyd delivers Thompson, Johnny will be free to kill him. Of course, if Johnny's smart, Wynn's casual betrayal of Boyd will make him question whether Wynn will play straight with him, but we may have to go elsewhere for thorough understandings of tangled agendas...
