Justified: City Primeval (Episode 6)

Out of 5 Stealing Stolen Paintings Darryl: 2.9/5 Brian: 3.10/5

Title: “Adios” Directed by: Sylvain White Written by: Taylor Elmore & V.J. Boyd Aired: August 15, 2023 U.S. Viewers: 6,650,000 Summary: Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) is visited by Carolyn (Aunjanue Ellis), who reveals that she saw the Judge’s book, and found some of the targets. Somewhere, Dickey (David Cross) visits a friend, Lonnie (Kevin Anderson), hiring him to take back the painting that Mansell (Boyd Holbrook) took from his house.

Mansell and Sweety (Vondie Curtis-Hall) meet at a parking garage with another person in the book. However, the man only has $12,000 instead of the $15,000 they asked. When Mansell rams his car, the man flees and accidentally falls off the building to his death. Raylan talks to Downey (Marin Ireland) about getting to know about the book, with Downey correctly deducing he slept with Carolyn. They meet with prosecutor Diane (Regina Taylor), blackmailing her into working with them. As her name is in the book, she will be part of a trap set for Mansell and Sweety, or she will be exposed for taking bribes.

Lonnie arrives at Sweety’s Tavern, forcing Sweety to leave Mansell’s penthouse to meet him. Their meeting is interrupted when Sweety is called by Diane, who offers $30,000 to get her name removed from the book, agreeing to meet later. Sweety also gives up Mansell’s name to Lonnie, instructing him that Mansell must be killed while Sweety himself gets the painting for him. Sweety tricks Mansell into going to the meeting alone, although Sandy (Adelaide Clemens) is revealed to have taken the painting to sell it.
