Who is boyd on justified

Boyd Crowder : I didn't think to pack one. I'm fairly certain he's not here. Boyd Crowder : Well if my survival is a happy bi-product of my selfless act, so be it. Boyd Crowder : Fire in the hole! Boyd Crowder : I've learned to think without arguing with myself. Dewey Crowe is one of the most entertaining characters on the show. The dimwitted would-be criminal is a massive screw-up who cannot help but find himself in trouble.

But despite being involved in some unsavory things, Dewey is too stupid to really see as a bad guy. After finding himself in trouble yet again and betrayed by Boyd, Dewey tries to become an informant. While visiting Boyd, Dewey begins prying for information and makes Boyd wary. Despite their history together, Boyd doesn't hesitate to coldly execute Dewey. The series finale of Justified ends with Raylan and Boyd sharing one last conversation as Boyd once again sits in prison.

Having found Ava living a new life with her and Boyd's son, Raylan decides to let her remain free and tells Boyd she died so that he'll never go looking for her. Despite her betraying him, Boyd is heartbroken at the loss. As Raylan says, Boyd has lied about a lot of things but it's easy to see that he really did love Ava in the end. The entire relationship between Raylan and Boyd comes down to one simple idea — they dug coal together. Despite being on the opposite sides of the law and all of the terrible things Boyd has done, that bond has cause Raylan to spare Boyd's life.

Boyd obviously does not have the same sentimentality as he tried to kill Raylan on many occasions. Even in the first episode, Boyd takes it upon himself to threaten Raylan to leave town, then shows up for a showdown, ready to kill his old friend. After getting shot by Raylan and nearly dying, Boyd has a change of heart.

Boyd puts his pillow and clothes onto his cot and watches as the cell door closes. In the next episode, " Cut Ties ", it is made clear that the fight between Raylan and Boyd was only a ruse so that Boyd could be sent to prison to find Dickie. Boyd attempts to assault Dickie during lunch but Russell interrupts him, saying that he has a visitor.

Raylan reveals to Boyd that he amended his original statement and that Boyd could be released from prison as early as the next morning, much to Boyd's chagrin.

Boyd pleads to Raylan, but to no avail. Later, Boyd finds out from Dewey that Dickie had now been moved into solitary confinement, to which Boyd immediately suspects by Raylan. Boyd manages to bribe a guard while in prison named Ash Murphy , and goes over to where a bunch of African-American inmates are bench pressing.

Boyd then reveals his Nazi tattoo to the group, which provokes a fight. Boyd ends up being treated by a prison medic named Lance , and refuses help, ending up in solitary confinement in the cell next to Dickie. Later, Boyd swings over the cell door to Dickie's room, and pins him against the wall with a razorblade to Dickie's neck. Boyd demands to know what happened to Mags's stashed money, to which Dickie reveals that it was held by an associate of the family named Ellstin Limehouse to which he owed Mags some kind of debt.

Dickie tells Boyd that Limehouse will not let anyone have the money besides Dickie, so if he dies, the money goes with him. The next day, Boyd is released and Ava asks if he found out where the money is. Boyd reveals that he did, but getting the money isn't going to be easy since Limehouse has it. Boyd attempts to get the money from Limehouse in " Harlan Roulette ", but to no avail Even trying to strike a deal with Limehouse, that if Dickie isn't in the picture, the money can be split between the two.

Limehouse instead informs Boyd that he will buy all of Boyd's weed, which angers Boyd. Boyd excuses Arlo from getting "one of these" due to his age, and Boyd punches Devil in the face for not burning the weed as instructed by Ava. Soon, Boyd reveals his plan to Devil, Ava, and Arlo that he wants to take back Johnny's old bar since it rightfully belonged to the Crowders. The bar is now being run by Buck Mulligan.

Boyd begins to rip down the Christmas lights from the ceiling, prompting Buck to pull out a baseball bat, but Devil is holding a gun at him. Boyd reveals to the man who he is, and that the bar used to belong to Johnny, but Buck claims that he got the bar fair and square. Boyd asks if Buck has ever been shot shot, and Boyd tells Buck that he and Johnny were both shot, and while Johnny was recovering in the hospital, Buck bought the bar.

Boyd gives him two options: A Surrender the bar to the Crowders and leave unharmed or B Find out what it's like to be shot. Buck picks "Option C" and two of his men come up, holding guns at Devil and Boyd. However, two men of Johnny's, Rip and Jimmy, are also there and hold the guns at Buck's men. Johnny rolls in the back door, and threatens Buck's men, as well as Buck, to leave the bar. Boyd hands Devil a small sum of money, and Devil asks him when they are going to execute a big score, but Boyd simply orders him to be patient.

Raylan soon comes in and tells them a story about how Frances Givens ran away from Arlo's abuse one night and went to Limehouse's terrority. A drunken Arlo showed up and attempted to fight Limehouse, but Limehouse ended up beating up the man, and he tells Boyd that Limehouse had no recollection of the incident when he visited him.

Boyd tells him that maybe Limehouse has fought so many white men, he can't remember Arlo. Boyd orders Devil and Johnny to leave to talk to Raylan alone. Raylan tells him that Dickie escaped from Trumbull and that Dewey escaped as well. Raylan asks him about their whereabouts, and Boyd tells him he may want to check out Lance because he is the same kind of guy that can put people together and take them out. Later, Boyd, Devil, and Johnny have a meeting in the main room of the bar.

Devil explains the conversation has been a long time coming. Devil points a gun at Boyd, and Boyd asks him what led him in his imagination to think he could pull off killing him. Johnny soon points a gun at Devil, telling him that him turning on Boyd was never going to happen. Boyd shoots Devil in the chest. Boyd tells him that all he ever asked him for was his loyalty, and tells him to close his eyes.

Boyd then points the gun at Devil's head, and a gunshot is heard before the credits roll. In " Thick as Mud ", he is first seen with Arlo burying Devil's body. Arlo attempts to steal money from Devil's wallet, but Boyd stops him saying not to steal from the dead. Boyd then removes Devil's cell phone, saying that it is his "last gift" to their cause. Boyd is in the bar when Ava visits him. He explains to her that he regrets having to kill Devil, but Ava manages to console him after showing each other their wounds.

Ava explains that they are in this life together. Later, Doc Stern is brought in to talk to Boyd, who knows that Stern has been writing prescriptions in exchange for protection and Oxy. Stern reveals that he was working with Frankfurt. Boyd tells him he wants him to sell the Oxy and give him the profits, but Stern refuses saying that Frankfurt will have him killed if he does that.

Boyd threatens his mother indirectly if he refuses to go along with his plan. Jimmy unplugs the jukebox, and Boyd dials the last number called from Devil's cell phone. Suddenly, Dodd's phone begins to vibrate and Boyd sits at his table. Boyd explains that it looks like they HAD a friend in common, and asks if he can trust Dodd to relay the information back to Robert Quarles that he killed Boyd, as well as another message.

When Dodd ask what, Johnny hits him twice with the butt of his shotgun. Boyd tells him if Quarles has anything to say in reply, he can locate him at Johnny's bar. Quarles visits Boyd, who informs him that he got both of his messages.

Boyd is confused saying that he only sent one. Quarles attempts to convince Boyd to partner up with him, saying that together they will make a lot more money than they will as enemies. Boyd asks him if he is familiar with the term "carpetbagger", which offends Quarles.

Quarles thanks him for the bourbon and leaves, but Boyd informs him that men in three-piece suits have been coming to Harlan from the North for years, and that they always die by the end of summer. Johnny suspects Quarles, but Boyd informs him he doesn't want to jump to any conclusions until he has enough details. Boyd and Ava head to Limehouse's holler, hoping to get answers. Boyd tells him about the night they met on the bridge, that Limehouse knew things about his business that Boyd never knew, but asks why he knows so little about Limehouse.

Limehouse asks Boyd if he knows a few people, and then asks a patron at the diner named Jennings who Boyd is. Jennings recites Boyd's entire family lineage, and says how he is surprised Boyd is still living after the things he has done. Limehouse says that it's always been his people's duty to know Boyd. Boyd then asks if he knows about the Oxy clinic shootout, to which Limehouse says he does, but he says only the people he banks for are the ones that know. Boyd offers to bank his money with Limehouse in exchange for the information.

Boyd suspects Robert Quarles to be behind it, and Limehouse tells him three people were killed, two of which were associates of Boyd's. Later, Raylan shows up, angered that his family name was drawn into the clinic shootout. Boyd apologizes for it, but says that he is not the problem with everything going on in Harlan County, and he tells Raylan to go to Audrey's to talk to Ava. Raylan says he doesn't care about Boyd's Oxy business, but threatens him, saying that the next time his family name is drug into this, he will lose his Marshal's star and come after Boyd.

Boyd tells Raylan to go see Ava, and Raylan says he must love having the law do his dirty work before he leaves. Boyd soon calls Ava and tells her that Raylan is going to see her. Boyd insists that he did not tell Quarles that Givens was on the payroll and articulates his underlying credo: "This is our home, Raylan.

I start to turn on my own people, no matter how contentious at times our relationship may be, that's a world that becomes so muddy even I can't fathom it. Boyd visits Limehouse with a wad of cash requesting to look into a certain Sheriff who has taken a bribe from Quarles.

Limehouse, however, keeps giving Boyd partial information which infuriates the latter. Boyd warns that whatever Limehouse knows, he should know or else he will close out his account. Boyd later manages to convince his former employer at Black Pike, Shelby , to run against Napier in the upcoming election. In " Watching the Detectives ", a furious Napier comes back to Johnny's bar, suspecting Boyd of putting dynamite under his car, which had caused an explosion that almost killed him earlier in the episode.

Boyd, however, is confused by it but ends up being handcuffed by Mooney. Later, the men are at the police station where the local media surrounds them.

Napier explains to the reporters that Boyd had attempted to kill him by planting dynamite under his car. Later, it turns out that it was a ruse set up by Napier and Tanner Dodd to frame Boyd and potientally get him out of Quarles's hair. Boyd ends up being released from jail by Raylan in " Loose Ends " after Ava tells him that Boyd may have information on the apparent assassination attempt. Boyd reveals that Tanner Dodd is in Quarles's pocket, and in return for the information, Raylan bails out Boyd.

Later, Boyd shows during the debate between Shelby and Tillman Napier, helping out the struggling Shelby Due to the upper hand advantage given to him by Harvey Jones by explaining that Shelby was implicated in a robbery by the hated Blackpike Coal—and who would believe that dishonest firm?

The charismatic Boyd soon has the crowd in a frenzy. Napier, but I do know that you've been feeding too long at the public trough! The crowd cheers. Harvey pounds his gavel, but it's drowned out.

Boyd learns that Napier's side is playing dirty and attempts to do the same as well. Johnny informs him that Napier has a sister named Hanna and that all they need to do is threaten her into helping them out.

By doing so, it violates election rules that a family member of the elected Sheriff cannot be on a payroll of a County Clerk. Because of this, Napier who had just recently won re-election is forced to relinquish his title of Sheriff to Shelby.

Boyd later gloats to an angered Robert Quarles. And now you get to leave with your life I hope you enjoyed your stay and you never forget who packed your bags.

Boyd and Johnny then watch as Quarles leaves. Boyd settles it rather abruptly by explaining that he will kill Dickie—slowly—but not before the last Bennett standing leads them to Mags' fortune. Later, he learns from Johnny that two of the drug dealers on Boyd's payroll Longbaugh and Parker had been murdered. Boyd visits the drug dealer's home and wonders whether the perpetrator was a pro or just a tweeker.

The neighbor Greta reveals that she did see the man, who was a "husky looking fella" and believed he was sent by the spirit of her dead dog Togo to kill the two men because they shot her dog not too long ago. Boyd immediately realizes that the man responsible for the murders was in fact Quarles, when Greta remembers not his hair but his "blue eyes, like a husky.

Boyd knows that Napier told Quarles which drug dealers to hit and promises to hurt Napier terribly unless the ex-lawman gives up Quarles' location. Boyd then orders Napier to bait Quarles into a trap: Quarles who had been coldly rebuffed by Limehouse who he was attempting to give the stole drugs to wanted to stash them in Napier's old office.

Boyd waits in the back room of a trailer at Audrey's with a taser in his hand when Quarles enters. Quarles calls Wynn Duffy , asking why he hasn't been in touch with him. Duffy reveals that he has been in trouble with the Marshals for 2 hours. Quarles knowing that there is a bounty on his head, asks how much they are paying.

Duffy says "They didn't say", but before he can continue the conversation, Boyd tases Quarles in the back of the neck, rendering him unconscious. Boyd orders two prostitutes Minerva and Cat to strip Quarles, and orders Jimmy to chain him to the bed. Boyd picks up Quarles's cell phone and begins to talk to Duffy after overhearing the bounty on Quarles's head.

Duffy asks if they are partners now, and Boyd reveals that since they both want Quarles dead, they are pretty much on the same page. Duffy thinks that it is better to kill Quarles, who is notoriously resourceful but Boyd believes the man cannot retaliate as he is unconscious and chained to a bed. Duffy simply tells him "Don't say I didn't warn you". In " Coalition ", Errol comes into Johnny's bar while Boyd is discussing the bounty on Quarles's head.

Errol says that he is looking for assistance before signaling Boyd's rival, Dickie into the bar. Boyd stares Dickie down coldly before dragging him to his office, putting a plastic bag over his head and punching him several times.

Ava tells Boyd to let Dickie go and hear Errol's plan out, and a reluctant Boyd lets him go. Errol tells him that Limehouse stashed the money away in a safety deposit box down at a bank called Galletin, and Boyd discusses his plan to rob the bank, sending Arlo and Ava to the bank in order to scout it out. Duffy soon heads to Audrey's and panics after learning that Quarles has escaped his confinement and tells Boyd that he warned him he should have killed him.

Duffy informs Boyd that Theo Tonin is not going to like that Quarles escaped from a "diseased -whore-ridden-factory up in his inbred holler". Boyd says he likes to have a diversion during bank robberies and he knows that Quarles will contact Duffy since Duffy is the only friend he has in this world, and plans to plant explosives in Quarles's car so that when he goes to rob the bank, Quarles will be killed, and Duffy will deliver his man to Theo.

Duffy warms to the plan, but informs Boyd that he can plant his own explosives. Boyd sits Arlo out of the plan to rob the bank, much to his chagrin because of Arlo's age. Arlo says that he can still do the job and announces his anger that Boyd has sat him out while Dickie is still around and Boyd orders Ava to take Arlo to her home and watch over him.

At Johnny's bar, Dickie, who like his cohort Dewey Crowe has no idea of his own limitations, very unwisely starts to demand a split in his favor when Boyd pulls a pair of guns.

Boyd soon points both guns at Errol, saying that he isn't too concerned with Dickie just yet. Boyd knows that there is no money in the bank and demands to know how Errol and Limehouse have schemed to set him up.

Errol more or less admits to the ruse, explaining that Limehouse only wanted to send Boyd away to prison for a long time. After getting no answer from Ava after calling their house, Boyd arrives with a handgun in tow to find Ava locked in the basement. She tells him that Arlo escaped. Quarles comes to Johnny's bar after being ordered to kill Boyd by Limehouse. Mike and Duffy observe from a distance, and Duffy orders Mike to detonate the car.

Boyd hears the bombs about to go off and turns his back to jump away from the explosion, while Quarles attempts to shoot him. The explosion causes Boyd to crash into a pole and be knocked unconscious while Quarles goes to the ground, his back engulfed in flames.

In " Slaughterhouse ", Boyd is being interrogated by the police over Tom's murder but proclaims he did not see anything due to being unconscious. After the cops and Raylan leave, Arlo is pulled aside by Boyd, who is enraged that Arlo locked Ava in the basement, but Arlo indirectly admits that Helen is the reason he locked Ava up. Boyd forces Arlo to take his medication in front of him. Soon Boyd learns from Shelby that a warrant is out over Devil's murder and Boyd soon realizes that someone in his crew is a traitor since they are the only ones that knew about the murder.

Johnny and Arlo deny any involvement, although Arlo once again suspects his late wife Helen. TIME: How does it feel now that the show is finally ending—or, how did it feel when it ended for you?

Walton Goggins : You know, it was much harder than I anticipated. It was very, very difficult and we tried to stay in this very Zen place, and when it was over, I just broke down.

It was a real cathartic experience I think for everyone. But it was sad, and then thankfully, right after that, they did them out of order.

I got to do Boyd Crowder on a high note, which was him and the prison sanctuary. I got to go out on Boyd Crowder and preach it. Yeah, so it was. At this point, every fan of the show is more or less aware that Boyd was initially supposed to die in that very first episode.

Was that something that you had hoped for, or had you thought at all about that, as you were going through the process of the final season? You know I have had my designs on the ending that I wanted for Boyd, for a number of years. And I pitched it to Graham [Yost] for the end of Season 3.
