During our premiere postmortem, you said there was something the show's writers discovered on their pre-season trip to Harlan that you could tell us about after this second episode. Let's start there. What was it?
What happens at the end of the episode? They figure out something about the pizza place. There is a place in Harlan that is called the Portal, and when they were there on this research trip this summer, they went there. It didn't look quite as fancy as ours does, but it's got a big ass vault in it. And the thing is with big vaults — you'll see there's something in the fourth episode related to the vault — they're too heavy to move and too expensive to dismantle because they're so solid and they're built to withstand people trying to break into them. So often with a building like that, they will just leave the vault in there.
So there is a place in Harlan called the Portal, which is a pizza restaurant with a big ass bank vault in it. Combine that with when the locations team was looking around near Santa Clarita, where we shoot [Justified], for a place where they could have something that looks like a pizza restaurant that has a vault in it, they found a place that was a bank that was being turned into a pizza restaurant. Apparently, that is a trend that is sweeping America, which is old banks with vaults being turned into pizza restaurants. When we found out that there was this unused vault in the middle of Harlan we thought, "That's where they'll put the money." What they do in Colorado in the legal weed business is, there are vaults in warehouses and they've got 24-hour security — they can't put the money in banks, so they have to have private vaults. So that's where it all came from. Then the people in Harlan said we could use the name.
Last question: Boyd's guy found Dewey's necklace and put it on a taxidermy squirrel in the bar for decoration. That will come back into play, yes?
As Chekhov said, "A blood spattered gator teeth necklace that is found in the first act is instrumental in the third." We'll get down the road and you'll see that does not go unseen again. There are times when we'll just do stuff like that because we have no idea how it's going to pay off but we're just banking it just in case.

"They both basically left her in jail. They both turned their backs on her and abandoned her," Carter tells TVGuide.com. "She got out because Raylan needs her, but she has to think in the back of her mind, 'Is it just that he needs me or does he care enough to try to make this happen?' Yeah, she feels abandoned and she's angry at Boyd, but she's still in love with him."
