![]() ![]() To end Episode 5, the two lawmen meet at a bar, Ray sipping on club soda, Raylan something stronger, for our second flavorful conversation. So he goes to the one guy who’s done it before: Raymond Cruz (Paul Calderon), the retired Detroit police officer who brought Clement in the first (and possibly last) time. But let’s talk about that bust, shall we? Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) sure wants to, since he keeps hitting walls in his own attempt to lasso the Wildman. Such divergent goals will likely doom Sweety and Clement’s aspiring partnership (just as it did six years ago, when the latter’s greed got him busted). Aunjanue Ellis and Vondie Curtis Hall in “ Justified: City Primeval” Courtesy of FX / Chuck Hodes He just wants enough to clear his debts, ease his anxieties, and get this psychopath out of his life for good. Clement has big dreams - asking Sandy (Adelaide Clemens) about his singing voice says so much about how he sees himself - and as delusional as they may be, at least he knows he’ll need plenty of money to pay for them. He still thinks the next score will make him a king, which is why he’s so frustrated by Sweety accepting a mere $10,000 from Bulldozer Burt. ![]() He can’t dream anymore, so he might as well remember - and staring at that expensive house with its manicured greenery must make it difficult not to think back to a time when life was still open-ended.Ĭlement, of course, wouldn’t understand such thoughts. Right now, his mind is filled with worry: He’s got to find the money to fix up his bar, he’s “under water” on his mortgage, and he needs to keep a close eye on Clement, who could cross him at any second (like he does later in the episode). If he was going to be a “monster bass player” playing with MoTown greats (like he once was), he’d be doing it, instead of sitting in a car with Clement waiting to grift some cash from a trashy construction head. For one, Sweety knows his time has passed. In that moment, I’m not sure Sweety knows what conjured his Miles Davis story, but it’s easy enough to guess. Both men know what it means to be seen by Miles Davis, even if it’s just for your big ears.Īfter a beat, Clement asks a simple question - “What made you think of that?” - to which Sweety merely looks back at him, considers it for a second, and shrugs. Clement’s been holding one over on Sweety for years, basically forcing his so-called friend into doing whatever the Oklahoma Wildman wants, and Sweety is well-aware of the trouble tied to his unwanted partner. “He said that to you? That’s good shit.” Now, these two blue collar criminals don’t exactly get along. The jittery carjacker hangs on Sweety’s every word, and at the end, expresses only admiration. They may think the excitement around meeting Miles Davis is undercut beautifully by a rather rude remark directed at their buddy’s physical appearance. When hearing such a story, some friends may laugh.

His friend wanted him to come jam with Miles Davis! Sweety hustled over and did just that, slapping da bass until 6 a.m. As they sit idle, without music blasting (for once), Sweety remembers a time many years ago when he was roused from a sound slumber for the right reasons. ![]() The first savory chat takes place as Sweety (Vondie Curtis Hall) and Clement (Boyd Holbrook) wait for Bulldozer Burt’s (David Cross) lawncare workers to punch out for the day, so they can blackmail their first mark from the late Judge Guy’s little black book. Heading into “City Primeval’s” second half, two Episode 5 conversations - neither, ostensibly, about the case at hand - provide a little something extra to chew on. ![]()
