And The Winner Is…

Okay, so apparently Dunlop thought he was the one getting the favor, as he tells Art Raylan offered to handle Hunter's transfer as a late birthday present. Art: "Arlo Givens' body is not even cold on the slab, and you let Raylan drive off into the sunset with his killer!" Sure, in that tone of voice, it sounds bad! Beside himself, Art asks Tim for Raylan's location, but when Tim pulls it up on his computer, it only confirms Art's fears -- he's not in Leoville but Baxter, which is still in Harlan County. Art barks at Dunlop to purge case files "until I figure out how to like you again" (hee, and awww) before telling Tim to call Raylan and tell him that if anything happens to Hunter, Raylan will no longer be a marshal and neither will Art, "and that is where his nightmare will begin!" Tim asks if he wants that verbatim or paraphrased, and I could listen to him drawl "paraphrase" all day, but Art does not see it that way, barking at Tim not to be a smart-ass. In response, Tim just looks at him with a "Have you met me?" expression, and if scenes like this illustrate to you why more Tim is always a good thing, you and I are likely to get along. Once Art gets the rest of his lecturing done, Tim picks up the phone...

...while Hunter is asking Raylan if he's just going to sit up there quietly "like you're Harry Callahan, and I'm supposed to be back here shitting myself?" I believe I already covered that, Hunter, but Raylan's response is of course worthwhile anyway: "Lord, I hope not! I'm trapped in the car with you." Hee. He goes on that he's merely a Deputy U.S. Marshal executing a prison transport, but as if to argue the point, Raylan gets Tim's call at that moment and answers by supposing Art's pissed. Tim's like yeah, that times a thousand, and by the way, Dunlop is "lookin' at a bright future in mall security thanks to you." Well, Shelby worked in mall-ish security, did he not? No idea why I saw fit to bring that up. Raylan promises Tim that he just wants to sort one or two things out and then he'll deliver Hunter to his new residence safe and sound. Tim asks for details and Raylan actually lets him into his thought process, saying he wants to know who hired Hunter to hit Arlo -- his first guess is the Dixie Mafia (he's surely thinking about the trustee Arlo murdered), and while it could also be Boyd, "given their history, I don't know how that works." For those of you not around in Season 1, I'd explain, but Hunter's going to end up saving me the trouble soon enough. Tim cautions Raylan that Art has "locals" out looking for him and offers to help Raylan out by poking around the Crowder place, as he's got something in Harlan he wants to check out anyway. Raylan, however, can't discuss it, as they've reached their destination -- Wynn Duffy's RV. I'd make fun of Hunter for clearly not seeing this coming, but frankly, neither did I.
