I think a lot of people are missing some context behind the bad guy's actions here. He's actually killed several people in this way, its sort of become his signature. He does exactly as he did here with Raylan, he disarms them, has someone count down, and then puts the gun on the table in the middle of the count and explains the rules while the count is still going. He doesn't give them enough time to think about the situation, and he banks on his victims sense of hope driving them into his game, but the problem is.. its a rigged game. He has an ice pick, and he's fast with it, very fast. When they reach for the gun, he stabs them in the arm or hand, and then he takes the gun and shoots them anyway. There's no real reason for this other than its cruel and the guy is obviously kind of crazy. His character is all about two things, he loves tricking people and he loves hurting people, so there's no real reason he shouldn't believe Raylan wouldn't fall for his trap like a dozen victims before him. Of course, Raylan knows the guy's file, so he probably knows the MO of each of his crime scenes or at least enough background info to know the kind of guy this dude is, and that on top of already being incredibly observant, intelligent, and quick-handed, he easily cheats the cheat and comes out on top.
You are 💯 correct. I thought “how can anything ever top Deadwood and Seth Bullock” but here we are. I wish they could have worked Ian McShane in Justified
@@davidstemm9059 That would have been a dream scenario, and since Ian McShane is so talented they would have made great antagonists just like they did In Deadwood.
no, that was why she divorced him. She saw him for what he was, the Angriest man she ever met. Raylan shot his best friend. The man who saved his life multiple times. At the last episode, He almost killed boyd, or the second time he tried to Kill Boyd. The rage from the man, when Boyd dropped his gun, and forced Rayland to decide, if he was going to outright break the law to do what he wants. And to add, the first time He shot Boyd, I didn't think it was justified. Raylan knew Boyd was not going for the gun to shoot anyone.
I think what made Raylan so good in these situations is that he always managed to stay calm no matter what. However, you can see the fear in his eyes in these situations. Great acting from Timothy Olyphant.
How does one even pick a favorite scene from this show? I swear, each episode features some confrontation between Raylan and a baddie that just drips with crackling dialogue and epic one-liners. 3:02 "Sorry about your table cloth"
Raylan didn't bring the gun that was used. I thought this was going to be the scene where the Floridian that believed if your up close a certain distance a guy with a knife could take out a guy with a gun. IIRC, they guy challenges Raylan to a gun vs knife draw, Raylan accepts, the guy charges but trips on a hole in the ground falls and stabs himself through the neck with his own knife.
One of the most memorable scenes in the series. The tricky conclusion to this scene was Timothy Olyphant’s idea. They had to glue the pistol to the tablecloth to make it work. It kept sliding.
This is one of three scenes that stick with me the most. The second is the "take one more step, and I'll shoot you". The third is "here's a bullet... the next one is going to come a lot faster."
Goddammit Raylan is such a badass and Olyphant is so fucking good. Shout out to Walton Goggins just because. Justified is one of my favorite series along with another Goggins show, The Shield
I work from home & can't watch new shows while working. So this one is on repeat, along with Dexter, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, House, and a few others. I've probably watched it 6 or 7 times. And it grabs me from the 1st episode EVERY time. I just finished it before Christmas and now might have to watch it again. So good.
I just thought it was cute that Fletcher thought he had a chance. Knowing full well Raylan had shot that Miami gun thug. "Fletch: Raylan killed a Miami gun thug who thought he could actually out-draw Raylan Givens. What did you really think the odds were of you walking out of there alive? Dumb ass." I never had any problem with all the people Raylan killed. What always boggled my mind was how often people just didn't care and thought they could go up against Raylan and win. Even when they'd stood there and watched him just out-draw somebody else. Oh. And the other favorite thing: Stupid shit criminals said going up against Raylan: "Don't listen to him. You don't need to pay any attention to anything he tells you." Etcetera. Those are just not the best pieces of advice anyone's ever given anyone else. And when he gives them the chance to use it or drop it on the ground? How often do the idiots believe they can shoot Raylan faster than he can shoot them? But that old stereotype of the stupid criminal had to come from somewhere. It just gets reinforced throughout the entire Justified series. Great show.
It is the Batman TV flaw. Penguin & Joker always had 'somewhere to be' before the sand ran out, tipping the scale and dropping Batman and Robin into the alligator pit. And of course B&R always got away with a second or two to spare. Ya don't give Raylan access to a gun. EVER. But, it is for dramatic effect so I get it. This is a unique scene.
Perhaps, but it’s a real human flaw of ego. Ice Pick wants the gunfight in the street. He wants bragging rights that he took the big bad Marshall in a play for blood. Both guys here truly believe they are better than the other, Ice Pick just wants to prove it.
yes, Sir,... dey doin me waay wrong,... i never saw even 1 and they stole all that family stuff that was sent for me.... holdin paper on i hear a br"y"an ellinger,....
What was this guy's endgame? Kill a cop in front of his sweetheart? He could've done that the second Raylan walked through the door. Leaving aside the tactical blunder that got him outfoxed, I just don't get how he saw this playing out. Just to show off? To a dead guy? Mess with Winona's head? He's probably killing her too. Yeah, it's a callback to earlier, but it doesn't seem like some kind of serial killer compulsion. Way to wildly underestimate a trained gunfighter.
I really have to catch up with the original series, but I absolutely loved City Primeval. Clement Mansell was a fantastic villain and I hope Boyd Holbrook gets more work. This scene marked the only time in the entire season that Mansell wasn't 100% sure of himself and it came down to Raylan's ice cold ultimatum - sensational. th-cam.com/video/7L8Rc8CDXzc/w-d-xo.html
@@MC-ik9ei No it didn't suck...primeval but it did quite reach the levels of greatness that Justified had but luckily we will be getting more of what we saw in the last part of primeval sometime in the next 3 years.
Primeval doesn't suck like some claim but it's not quite up to the level of the regular series. Clement was a very good villain who creeped me the EFFE out from start to finish but Walton Goggins as Boyd Crowder is absolutely next level of all time great bad guys/anti heroes. I mean I rank Walton's portrayal of Boyd right up there with Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo or Powers Booth as Curly Bill. YES he is THAT good in the role.
ruination of farming has been going on for years,first they made it illegal to sell dairy products direct to the people,then they ran out the family dairy farmers,next they ran out the livestock farmers,and then the grain farmers.all done by design,how do i know?i was a grain farmer all my life until a couple years ago.seen it all happen with a front row seat.
I believe you , and angry with that. What does it have to do with Justified. PS, TH-cam has been messing with my messages and it ends up in other videos that I watch.
@breeze7863 IF you even know who Elmore Leonard is this might make some sense to you. Leonard being a crime writer and Master of dialogue/drama/comedy. His criminals almost always had some device or protocol they used that made them dangerous yet not so bright. The common theme being the criminals usually were smart enough to hatch some elaborate detailed scheme or plot but not smart enough to pull it off. WWED.
The tension...oh my goodness. Oh wait, he's the star. The script would have to kill him. No worries. Amazing how much damage can be done with non-bullets.
this is an absolutely amazing scene and "sorry about your tablecloth" is epic
A true gentleman through and through!
No shit right?? 😂😂
Best part was he was dead ass serious.
He meant it. 😂
Is there anybody more cooler than Raylan?
Hard to believe the Marshall would use a paddle holster…
I think a lot of people are missing some context behind the bad guy's actions here. He's actually killed several people in this way, its sort of become his signature.

I didn't know a thing about this guy's file, but I still knew enough to pull the tablecloth towards me.
Timothy Olyphant was born to play Raylan. I thought he was magnificent in ‘Deadwood’, but he took it to whole another level in ‘Justified’.
There was another Raylon before. Not in a series. But, nobody remembers him
You are 💯 correct. I thought “how can anything ever top Deadwood and Seth Bullock” but here we are. I wish they could have worked Ian McShane in Justified
@@davidstemm9059 That would have been a dream scenario, and since Ian McShane is so talented they would have made great antagonists just like they did In Deadwood.
Really? I thought he was born to play one of the leads in ‘the Santa Clarita Diet’
@@debbylou5729
Seriously? That show wasn’t even good.
Believe it or not, Tim came up with this. They were going to have Raylon go early, but he came up with the solution of pulling the table cloth.
That is amazing.
That's what made the scene epic.
@@Stranzua Made the character that much more epic too
that kinda gives "sorry about your tablecloth" another layer. like, the props department didn't plan for that.
That’s cool! It took me a minute to realize you weren’t talking about Gutterson. I was hopeful there was a deleted scene I missed.
Just Raylans facial expressions of him figuring out everything he had read from the file that day and how its all gonna play out.
Or he figured there was a reason they called him Fletcher "ice pick" nix.
@@Kyjohnson1500 remember before he read the file he met him in the elevator and had no idea how his motive would play out. 🤷♂️
I mean, if you have a nickname “ice pick” you’re gonna wonder why.
I love how this is the first time she sees Raylan for who he is.
Polite?

@@slewone4905 No, she divorced him becuase she wasn't woman enough to be married to a cop. I for one was glad Raylan got free of her.
@@slewone4905 Yes she left him because he was the "angriest man"... this is where she saw him, not as the "angry man", but as he truly was and is.
One of the best, if not the best series I have ever watched................... We dug coal together.........
He played a good bad guy. He didn't get to play it for long, but he made the most of what time he had.
Best one-off villain I've ever seen. Wished he was around for longer.
I think what made Raylan so good in these situations is that he always managed to stay calm no matter what. However, you can see the fear in his eyes in these situations. Great acting from Timothy Olyphant.
Right. Like Raylan was in control of this situation even when he was disarmed.
When someone says they know a lot about you, you should take that as a hint, especially Raylan Givens.
How does one even pick a favorite scene from this show? I swear, each episode features some confrontation between Raylan and a baddie that just drips with crackling dialogue and epic one-liners.
3:02 "Sorry about your table cloth"
One of THE BEST scenes in the entire series.
And that says a lot, considering how many great scenes there were in this show.

"Raylan vs the 21 Foot Rule"

One of the best TV series ever. Rewatched all six seasons last year. Might do it again this year.

Sorry about your tablecloth. 😂
What about the table?
typical British answer ,understated
One of the best shows and best acting ever.
Absolutely. Oliphant plays good guys and bad guys so well.

Criminals are stupid.
It was a good idea to give Raylan, a gun, after disarming him of his.
Bad guy outplayed himself lol.

That is by far my most favorite scene from the entire series.
I think the 21 foot rule scene was better. 😂
'The next one's coming at you faster'. Best line of the series...
I don't know, there's a lot of other really really great scenes, and this is just one of 'em.
I will never get tired of this scene.
It’s too bad this incident got Raylan kicked out of the motel. Nothing personal, just the owner can’t keep having bodies getting wheeled out.
Best scene ever. 😂
I must rewatch this show.
Justified is the hands down best show ever
Second only to Deadwood!
It’s amazing how many enemies get Raylen dead to rights, but want to prove something.
That's TV script writing. Having said that, this show is head and shoulders better than most.
And Raylan wasn't even that fast, it was ust so unexpected from the script the bad guy had in his head, he vapor locked.
Yep, and his mind he put the knife through Raylyn's hand as Raylyn reached for the gun.
Truly a great scene. Had me gripped. Brilliant series.
Still one of the best shows ever….sadly missed
Can't believe I never even tried to watch this show before.
This was like a cowboy vs a 20's gangster.
Loved this series. Such a shame the spin-off was so woke it wasn’t worth watching.
What was the spin off?
What was the spin off?
City Primeval. Was just a poor shadow of the original.
Raylin was out of character for 90% of the sequel. Disappointing...
I did not know Christinith was a hick.
Even when he kills a man, he is totally well-mannered😂 "sorry about the tablecloth"😂😂
Script said so.
@@dcolb121 obviously
I like his acting and character in dexter but here I was not a fan. Maybe I am biased being from louisiana.
You just don't know good when you see it.
I guess that guy, won't be trying to pull that trick again!...😂😂😂
That was such a great series. I found and watched it on YT commercial free!
Textbook case of "just shoot, don't play around." 🤣
I liked this show but man LA actors do not know how to imitate a southern drawl without talking like they just took 4 sleeping pills.
Sorry about your tablet cloth.
I know something about watches and I'd like to check them out.
Modern day cross between Josey Wales and Dirty Harry!!!!
Raylan rocks!!!
He was planning to stab the guy but instead stabbed the table... makes no senes.
hahahahaha always clever, he outsmarts dudses back to front
Hmm, I think the writers saw the 1960s Avengers episode “A Touch of Brimstone”.
The sequel is just not as good as the original!
I agree. That would have been a hard follow up.
Those fucking hats, though.
How come the reboot was no fun at all. Sad
Didn't he do the table cloth trick before once? (season one or so).
I'm not complaining, i find it pretty good, it's just that it feels like a dejavu.
rien de tout ça
And we can get a new table cloth 😂😂
Such a Great character.
yes, Sir,...
dey doin me waay wrong,...
i never saw even 1
and they stole all that family stuff that was sent for me....

Alternative title: Raylan Brings Tablecloth to a Knife Fight
Why would a US marshal shoot a man he has just disarmed?
That man cold blooded that stare is crazy.
We did not deserve such an amazing show.
Or if he was even allowed to work.
Can we get this ( Raylan ) in the new series ? please !……
That was kinda stupid
Clever boy, Raylan.
Funniest scene ever
