Raylan: 'You Have a Gun in Your Hand' | Justified (Timothy Olyphant)

After Karen refuses to talk, Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) talks to Greg Davis (Brett Cullen) about their involvement. As Davis gets nervous, he decides to help and tells Raylan about Karen's plan to hurt Mortimer.

From Season 1, Episode 6: "The Collection"

Deputy Raylan Givens has his own, Wild West-style methods of upholding justice, putting him at odds with the criminals he hunts and with his bosses in the U.S. Marshals Service. And an incident prompts his reassignment to the Kentucky district where he grew up. The character is based on one created by author Elmore Leonard in several books and short stories.

Much as I love watching Raylan draw down on someone, I equally enjoy him talking them down. Such a great show.

Never go into a room with plastic on 1 piece of furniture or on the floor

i like that because this guy ultimately made the right choice, the marshals all gave him the opportunity to be heard. it wasn't just him incriminating himself, they already had all that, they let him speak and you can see in the different faces they were hearing him.

My favourite showdown is when a guy pulls a knife and Raylan says "oh shit, I forgot my knife" and unveils his holster

[armadillotoe]

Deadwood and Justified were both incredible shows.

The broken adjustable wrench on the wall is cracking me up for some reason!!!😄

The thing about truly great TV, which this show is, is that the small details are not overlooked. The look on Greg's face and the way his hand shakes when he puts the gun down on the table are just perfect.

[davidrobins]

A great psychological head game going on which Raylan knew exactly how to play. The turn and walk away said it all about how confident he was with their "talk."

[josephnoneofyourbeeswax]

The look Raylan gives at the end of this video is some of Timothy Oliphant's best acting. What guy has not felt that?

[jeffanon]

Notice Raylan said it'd be tough to clear his holster fast enough...he never said he couldn't ..😂

[DwindleDwellandDwarf]

I think one thing that this show does really well is not just paint all of the characters as either good or bad, but rather paints them as people who are reacting with their life experiences. Like Raylan is like actually having an honest and vulnerable discussion with this guy. Not talking down to him, not acting morally superior. Because he is being real with this guy, I think it gives him a chance to see everything else in a new perspective. Raylan does this a lot from what I have seen.

I was a huge fan of this show during its original run but haven’t watched it since until about a week ago when I re-watched Season One. It reminded me of everything I loved about Justified and in particular the brilliant performance of Timothy Olyyphant. Absolutely an all-time favorite for me.

[SiavashAgharazi]

That last look on Raylan's face, like he finds it a bit unsettling that he knows exactly how the guy feels.

[blueeyedcowboy]

Raylan is the coolest mf'ing character ever. Super Calm and Super Angry at the same time.

[johnsonYT]

Such a great show.

Also, I'm glad they are including Buster. It's good for him to get outta the house.

[WolfRamAndHart]

It's interesting that Raylan talks him down, by "downplaying" his deadshot abilities from Glencoe. He did that as well, with the "gardener" in a different episode by fake "drawing" to show him how fast he could be. Except for Boon in the last episode, there wasn't really anyone in a fair one on one who was a major challenge.

[MrGsteele]

He had a 1911 in his hand, hammer down. A 1911 is a single action pistol. IF he had a round chambered, he'd have to "six-gun" it - pull the hammer back and then fire. If he didn't, he'd have to cycle the slide using his other hand, then fire. In either case, Raylan would have prepped him for the coroner before his hammer fell.

A gun in the hand is just metal - like a hammer - without being readied.

[glennvastine]

Just a wonderful scene. What man hasn’t thought about this lol? Both actors were brilliant in the give and take.

[waynecoulter]

When he had the gun in his hand talking to Raylan, Raylan was never safer. The hammer was fully down on an empty chamber. Dude would have had to rack the slide to put a round in the chamber before he could fire. The M1911 is NOT a double action firearm and needs to have the slide racked to even put a round in the chamber and cock the hammer such as he did when he had the weapon pointed at dude on the couch...

The best scene from this episode by far was dude's collection of authentic Hitler paintings.
