Complete story — includes the ending

An imprisoned Dewey tells Raylan that the Bennetts are planning "something big." Raylan realizes Walt's welfare checks are being cashed with forged signatures and Arlo gives him the location of Harlan's forging man. He tricks Coover into going to the man's place, confirming that the Bennetts are involved in Walt's disappearance. Boyd overhears Kyle and his friends plotting to kill him during the robbery, so he leaves a note for Ava to call Kyle's phone at a certain time. The men take money guarded by foreman Shelby Parlow and plan to blow up the mine with him and Boyd inside. Ava calls Kyle, which Boyd uses to kick the other men out of the trailer, claiming the cell signal will interfere with the explosives. He hides them in the money, killing Kyle and his friends when he detonates them. Parlow agrees to cover for Boyd and he returns to Ava, giving her the remaining money and deciding to go back to his criminal life. Raylan gives Loretta his number to call if she is ever in danger.
