List of episodes

The fourth season of the American television drama series Justified premiered on January 8, 2013, on FX, and concluded on April 2, 2013, consisting of 13 episodes. The series was developed by Graham Yost based on Elmore Leonard's novels Pronto and Riding the Rap and his short story "Fire in the Hole".[1] Its main character is Raylan Givens, a deputy U.S. Marshal. Timothy Olyphant portrays Givens, a tough federal lawman, enforcing his own brand of justice in his Kentucky hometown.[1] The series is set in the city of Lexington, Kentucky, and the hill country of eastern Kentucky, specifically in and around Harlan.[2]

Plot

Season four is about a mystery, left unsolved for 30 years. On January 21, 1983, a man wearing a defective parachute plummets onto a residential street in Corbin, Kentucky, dying instantly. His body is surrounded by bags full of cocaine and his name is Drew Thompson. Raylan discovers a mystery when a vintage diplomatic bag is found hidden at Arlo's house containing only a driver's license in the name of Waldo Truth. Further investigation reveals that the parachutist was actually Waldo Truth and that Drew Thompson is still alive, however Arlo refuses to divulge any information. As the investigation continues to unfold, it's revealed that Drew Thompson witnessed Theo Tonin committing murder meaning he could take down the Detroit Mob. Raylan is now living above a bar and attempting to stash extra money away to provide for his unborn child and is in a questionable relationship with the bartender, Lindsey Salazar. Meanwhile, Boyd Crowder seeks to expand his empire with help from an old army buddy Colton "Colt" Rhodes (Ron Eldard). However, his efforts are complicated by the arrival of a snake-handling revival preacher named Billy St. Cyr (Joe Mazzello) and his sister Cassie (Lindsay Pulsipher) who is willing to do anything for her brother. Billy's success is cutting into Boyd's profits, as his users and dealers are getting hooked on faith instead of drugs. Wynn Duffy is ordered by the Detroit Mob to find Thompson and in turn he offers Boyd a partnership in the heroin trade which leads to a showdown between Crowder's gang and the Marshals. At the same time, cousin Johnny (David Meunier) grows ever more resentful of Boyd's success and plans to betray him by promising Duffy he'd find Thompson himself. Boyd, after proposing to Ava, is brought to an unexpected crossroads that threatens his personal or professional destruction. A Detroit Mob enforcer makes a bold move against Raylan forcing Raylan to find out how far he'd go to protect his family. Other stories include Shelby Parlow distancing himself from Boyd and protecting Ellen May, a prostitute, from Ava's growing violent tendencies.

Tom Gliatto of People Weekly praised this season, writing: "What gives the show its kick is the gleefully childish lack of repentance shown by most of these rascals—countered by Olyphant's coolly amused control."[19] Verne Gay of Newsday praised this season also, writing: "Character—as the old saying goes—is a long-standing habit, and their habits remain very much intact. The same could be said of Justified.", and Chuck Bowen of Slant Magazine praised this season, writing: "Justified is the strongest, liveliest, and most tonally accurate adaptation of the writer's work to date, and the latest season bracingly suggests that isn't likely to change anytime soon."[20]
