He asks where he is and Dewey says he’s on the cat bird seat. Dewey tells him he has all the shit – then says he has half, but it’s the whole half. He threatens to run off with it to Canada. He asks what his copilot has to stay and Dewey says he ditched Danny outside of Parkersville. Boyd puts him on speaker and Dewey tells them to bring $250k which is his money for the whorehouse and he’s going to leave town.

Danny and Daryl put some money in a briefcase they’re hoping Dewey won’t count. They even borrowed money from their whores. Kendal is still missing and Wendy is texting him. Raylan comes in and tells them it looks like business is down. He asks where Dewey is and compliments the briefcase and asks what’s in it. Daryl says there are used condoms in there and they wash them out for reuse since they’re a green whorehouse.
Daryl refuses to show it to him and Raylan smacks him in the head with the briefcase and it pops open and he sees the cash. Raylan tells them he’s confiscating it until they prove where it came from. He asks again about Dewey and they insist he’s not there. He tells them he’s going to look around and sees two of the hookers packing. He asks if they’re going to meet Dewey and they say they haven’t seen him. They tell Raylan that Dewey is fair and doesn’t hit them.
He opens the briefcase and offers them some of the money if they offer up some info. The girls share a look and then hand him a cell phone and tell him that Dewey’s number is on speed dial. He hands them a stack of cash and he takes the phone. They are upset when they see it was mostly newsprint.
Raylan tells Dewey that he’s about to get handed a ringer from the Crowes and not the money he was expecting. He tells Dewey that he’s his only friend in the world. Dewey tells him that his dream won’t die so easily and he cracks his phone and throws it out the window. Raylan hands the hookers the briefcase of money and gives them her phone back too.

Dickey tells him to take Route 9 south until he sees his asshole and then to cram it up inside. Raylan stares at him amused.
