Raylan vs. Coover Scene | Justified (Timothy Olyphant)

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

When I watched the show on TV, I had the captions on, and when he hugged Loretta, and she cried, his "shhh...shhh...shhh..." warmed my heart.

[@jadefire1814]

Coover intended to kill that little girl. What exactly did Dickie expect Raylan to do? Mags and Doyle *had* to know what would happen. Mags used to have take a 10 pound sledge to Coover's hands for "misbehaving". That's not something you "manage".

[@LenGott8345]

Yeah, Coover was wild. He was gonna kill Loretta if not for Raylan and Dickie ALMOST calmed him down until he said the wrong thing which royally pissed him off. This was pretty much the beginning of the end for the Bennetts. Once Coover died, Mags cut the deal with Boyd which ended up being a mistake and Dickie got cut out which launched the bloodbath that got Aunt Helen killed and Ava shot. Then we get the final showdown with Mags getting shot, Raylan getting shot, Doyle getting his skull capped and then Mags just ending it as she poisons herself while finally making peace with Raylan. This ended up being an outstanding season.

​@@LenGott8345 Coover seemed to be the linchpin for the downfall of the Bennett's. He caused so many problems but Mags treated him with kid gloves and didn't properly rein him in like she should have. And yes. This was my favorite season and Mags was my favorite antagonist next to Boyd. Probably the best season overall, imo

[@jadefire1814]

@@TheRealBDouble Agree totally with you both. S1 really was the best. And Mags' ending, "It was already in the glass." was so shocking.

[@kansasoutdoors5667]

Think it was a ball peen not a sledge

[@gregfahlgren7501]

Coover was a rabid animal at this point. When an animal goes rabid, you can't cure it, you can't fix it, and you can't reason with it. At that point, you have one option and it aint a good one.

[@trenae77]

But can we talk about how willing Raylan is to stand and just be present when Loretta needed him the most.

[@SickSilckMan]

Coover was a mad dog without a rational thought in his head. Had to be put down.

[@toom8rs15]

Like a governors dog

Being from E Kentucky myself, I can vouch for abandoned coal mines and vent shafts. The average ventilation shaft dept is 725’. Deeper shafts have been sunk to allow for deeper mining.

How is Kentucky ? Beautiful vallleys and hills ? I come from Belgium and live there

[@dudeistnerd1056]

@@MohamedElouarda-qk6ws Depending on where you go, yeah. When you get away from the cities and towns a bit, you get rolling hills of forest, and it really can be quite beautiful.

@@MohamedElouarda-qk6ws It depends on where in the Commonwealth you are. Eastern Kentucky is mountainous, with high cliffs, lush forests, and deep valleys. Western Kentucky is mostly delta. It’s relatively flat but lush with vegetation.

[@tomelder2358]

Lord, I miss this show sooo much!! :-)

[@mlkemiller1945]

If he fell for 6 seconds, he would have fallen about 579 feet. The fall would not kill him, but the hitting the bottom would.

[@matthaberek]

LMAO 😂😂 Last part you said reminds me of a tire shop where they said don’t worry it’s not flat. It’s only flat on the bottom. Rest is still round

Doesn't make sense in daylight with nice fields around you but rural Kentucky at night there is probably a ditch on either side, could be goffer holes or other subterranean holes to break your ankle in, Black Widow webs to run through, snakes to step on, any manner of sticks and wildlife to trip on, remnants of barbed wire fencing, ect.

[@johnwaynemcdonaldii1655]

We can all agree that Coover is dangerous that he was gonna kill Loretta. He's a monster.

[@blackdogsonly6292]

Raylan's butter smooth draw of his Glock 21 from the back up holster and the shot through the neck, that man is a BAD ASS!!

[@dirtyscoundrel2013]

Are you in love with raylan?

[@jimmyconway2800]

That was a Glock 26 his primary is a Glock 17 despite the fact he claims to use a 45

[@danieldickson8591]

@@jimmyconway2800 You sure? I never heard Raylan claim he used a .45. But his primary looks a little short to be a Glock 17. I assumed it was a 19 -- smaller size would mean it clears a holster faster.

[@jimmyconway2800]

@@danieldickson8591 it's a 17 I have one on my hip right now ik what they look like and after one of his shootings (I think the black dude who killed that lady bounty hunter he knew) art asks him what new gun he's gonna get and he says a 45 he also tells that judge he was body guarding in season 1 or 2 he uses a 45

[@randythompson8826]

Raylan was great with a gun. But he did seem to lose a lot of fist fights.

[@johnwells5414]

Yeah. It was pretty refreshing honestly. Added a level of depth to his character. He wasn’t going to just take Coover or Randall in a straight fist fight.

[@TheRealBDouble]

Intense scene. Coover sounds like he fell for 5 or 6 seconds. Makes me wonder how deep that mine was

[@jaxturner7288]

Why wonder? Get a pen and do the math. Just remember he didn’t fall far enough to ever reach terminal velocity.

[@jimmyconway2800]

Off the top of my head more than 500 feet

[@TheRealBDouble]

Well I came up with 180 meters, so 590 feet?

[@eddiemclean7011]

It went all the way to the bottom.

[@alphanerd7221]

@@jaxturner7288 You can't. You don't know if he hit the sides.

1:41 love how he says that

[@bigdaddydiesel5520]

He didnt think to take a flashlight with him?

[@VivaLaDnDLogs]

The buildup in this episode was just unreal. We got to start out seeing a side of Coover we hadn't, a surprisingly human side. Then he just started doubling down. We watched his anger & resentment build up, get closer & closer to bursting. Same time, we watch Loretta, toughest kid we've ever met, finally crack & break down when she realizes the truth. It all comes to a chokehold in Coover's house with him & Loretta, and then we get this. Maybe the most heroic showdown Raylan's had. There's no gray morality here, it's black & white.

I had no idea he passed. This saddens me.

[@ComedyBros5]

@@Adiscretefirm Only 56. Sure didn't look it, granted he was about 13yrs younger at the time of this scene. But still, I would've gauged him to be low-30's in this.

[@patmcbride9853]

Coover won the first fight. Too dumb to realize that "fighting fair" against someone like him involves a gun, knife, or something heavy and blunt.

[@alphanerd7221]

Games are fair. Fights aren't.

[@patrickgrogan2913]

Foreshadowed in the earlier fight in the store. Raylan had an advantage until Loretta momentarily distracted him, so Coover won the fight. Now Coover has the advantage until Loretta distracts him, so Raylan wins the fight

[@deacthefreak1909]

Raylan got him back good

[@jonahchikezie8347]

The difference between this show and the new show is that in the old show, Raylan had this sort of justified ruthlessness about him that's missing in the new show. The supporting characters in the original show were also better written and better acted.

[@MikeMarlowe-ym3zy]

I’ve seen one clip from the new show and it just felt so cold and lifeless that I have no interest in the rest of the season

[@alphanerd7221]

Raylan has no support in the new show. He can't break the law and have Art or Dan cover for him. He's alone.

[@eddiemclean7011]

Coover flew out of bounds. He wont be back.

I was told Justified season two was going to be a bunch of woke BS. No proof, but i wouldn't doubt it.

Like the new show? Probably. So what no one likes it anyway because it sucks

[@ComedyBros5]

What are you on about? The new season, yeah - it's awful. However, this original series has nothing of the sort and is quite possibly one of the greatest shows to ever exist.
