@@Iansco1They wrapped this story up so perfectly that it would be a shame to undo the ending to their story. Part of me hates that we won’t see them interact like this anymore, but this was such a great scene that I’m okay with it. In the end, the bond that they formed digging coal together is still there.
Walton Goggins is one of the most underrated actors out there. He was superb in this series and in SoA. This scene is just terrific writing with even better portrayals by two excellent actors.
What a scene. The "we dug coal together" line had been used a few times in the series, but this is when the full meaning hit home for me. This scene validated everything that came before. Perfect.
Absolutely. It closed the loop and confirmed the thing that we all felt from the very first occasions that both Raylan and Boyd said it. "We dug coal together," is as close to "You're my brother for life," as they can muster. What a scene, and what a show!
Hearing that line here in the last episode, with Olyphant’s delivery of it, and knowing it’s the last time you’ll hear it, really does cinch the heartstrings tight AF.

I cannot agree more ! Boyd Crowder is an antagonist for the ages. He is NOT a villain ; he is, the antagonist & deserved Emmy's, every season ; in every scene he was in, he owned that scene ! -----------------MJL, 77 y/o
I've seen few series as good as "Justified".But I've never seen one better. Timothy Olyphant and Walton Groggins were perfectly cast. Every scene a gem.
I have watched this series 5 times and then just bought it! I love JUSTIFIED can’t wait until the second one comes out. I love Timothy Olyphant but your right Walter Goggins and him together were a great combination
It's crazy to think that Walton was only supposed to be in the 1st episode. But their chemistry was undeniable, and Raylan and Boyd's relationship was the foundation of Justify's compelling brilliance.
Walton Goggins is one of the greatest actors I have seen. He doesn't get half the praise he deserves. This man has ten times the talent many big name Hollywood hotshots have.
I totally agree! Tim & Walton were just magic every time they did a scene. I think their secret is that they were friends off screen. That real friendship shown through.
@@CKibbles I think it changed in real time with TV in general. Plus, Boyd really died in the first episode. Deciding to keep that character on changed the trajectory.
"That the only reason? After all these long years, Raylan Givens, that's the only reason?" With Ava's death, Boyd is faced with the reality that Raylan is all the family he has left in the world. And as he has done repeatedly throughout the series, he asks Raylan for validation - some indication that he matters to him. Raylan struggles with emotional expression in general, but his obvious brotherhood with Boyd is something he can't consciously accept or openly admit. How can he love as a brother, a man who so reminds him of Arlo? This show was Blue Grass Shakespeare, and I don't think anything else will ever come close.
It really was. So much credit goes to the writers and actors for this outstanding series. I read Fire in The Hole, the short story on which the show was based. Excellent, but it was very short and just the jumping off point for all that was to come. I must say, even in that short format the depth and complexity if the relationship between Raylan and Boyd was all there. It ended with the exact words "we dug coal together", but from Raylan, not Boyd. Definitely recommended if you haven't read it already.
Boyd's actions in the series made me feel he was irredeemable, but Walton Goggins was so charismatic I could not help but love every minute he was on screen. One of the best characters ever on any screen.
The interaction is perfect, the line reading is perfect, the tear that doesn’t drop but is welling up in Raylan’s eye is perfect. “We dug coal together.” to “That’s right.” is an all timer ending for a truly great television series.
Well I suppose if I allow myself to be sentimental despite all that has occurred, there is one thing I wander back to ‘WE DUG COAL TOGETHER……THAT’S RIGHT’. What a brilliantly written show 🔥 I love how Boyd always calls Raylan by his full name ‘Raylan Givens’. I can watch these two chat for hours 😊
@@broodingnights1515 Mad Men is a great example that I think some people miss due to the last couple seasons slipping in quality a bit. That finale is right up there amongst the best and it's great to see someone else recognize it.
The short story is great.. I hope you're also aware that Elmore Leonard also wrote 3 full books featuring the Raylan Givens character. Elements from the books are scattered throughout multiple seasons of the show
@nifemi_o Yep, I'm Finding them, Buying them, Reading them Now !!! I have Read / Own Quite a Fe Of Elmore Leonards other Novels Too !! Great Stories !
I don’t live in Eastern Kentucky, but as a lifelong resident from a multigenerational family in Kentucky I know the importance of coal to our state. And I know about the years of backbreaking labor and hard times of coal miners, and years of economic hardships of coal mining towns. I was thrilled that JUSTIFIED was set in Harlan, and (besides drug trade) mining was prominent in the story’s history. When Raylan and Boyd sat across from each other I knew in my heart that their joint past was going to be part of whatever they said. When Boyd said it I was in tears. Walton Goggins was so amazing in his portrayal of Boyd. “We dug coal together.” “That’s right.” Perfect ending to it all.
Raylan's smile wavering just that little bit when Boyd says they dug coal together. Just a realization that they really do know each other better than anyone else in their lives.
I’ve said the same many times. It was the only way to end such a great series but still was unexpected. Goggins’ acting has knocked me out since I first saw him in “The Apostle”.
Deep down inside, Raylan loved them both...they were the only people who'd ever truly understood him...more than friends or enemies..more like family... And so in an act of love for them, he gave freedom to Ava & her son and closure to Boyd... allowing them each to move forward emotionally in their own way..
I needed to see this comment. I always thought the lie he told Boyd tarnished the "we dug coal together." But it was to free him and Ava. Wow. It was an act of love.
Family yes. Boyd took care of Raylan's father, when his mind was going. Raylan hates Boyd, because Boyd was the same as Raylan, if Raylan's aunt didn't give her life savings to send him to college. But he told Boyd Ava died, because if Boyd ever gets out, he would not stop chasing her.
Goddamn. You just put it all together with that one. Beautifully written, man! Perfectly beautiful understanding and encapsulation of a perfectly beautiful scene.
I just hope that no one sees this clip, before they have seen ALL episodes that preceded this ! Very well said Jeff --- my take was nearly the same as yours, only that Boyd knew or would figure out Raylan was lying about Ava, while also realizing WHY he had told him that. To protect, if possible, both Ava and Boyd. As you said he loved and understood them both. My reasoning - both Raylan and Boyd always deep down knew each others intentions, motivations and next move.
Raylan and Boyd were like the southern Kentucky versions of Batman and the Joker...inseparable and always colliding or trying to outsmart one another in their friendship and feud. Awesome show 👏
@@wardenmagellan2643that and if you take away the sexual tension it’s like Batman and catwomen. He cares a lot about catwomen but he can’t ignore she’s a criminal
That low key background guitar lends an element of emotion that tugs on the strings of your heart, enhancing the dialog and it's deep meaning between two... rivals.. or.. friends, or maybe both.
Unless you have been a coal miner, that is a bond you will never understand. The men you work with become brothers, your life is in their hands and their lives are in yours.
"We dug coal together." That's about as real as it gets. We did the job no one else wanted to, and created a brotherhood through it. You took one path, and I took another. But the one thing that binds us together for life is that hard labor.
It is akin to veterans when they meet. Especially those who served together. Brotherhood that is very difficult to break. Such relationship can become broken, but even if that happens... there is still a modicum of respect.
There is no denying, in my opinion, justified what is the best TV series ever written in the history of the world. The relationship between Ryland and Boyd was unparalleled.
Magic...simply magic in this scene. These two characters are everything that is right with television. The writers on the show gave them so much depth and each of their words was so meaningful. The actors gave these characters such life, all of us that watched grew so attached no matter each characters faults. Raylan and Boyd will go down in TV history to me as the best tandem on the screen. Each scene they shared was gold. Thank you for making them some so alive.
There's no way this show could have ended better. The look in both of their eyes said it all. "We dug coal together" one of the best, if not the best line to end a series, ever. My favorite show.
I will never forget this scene. A beautiful way to end one of my all-time favorite shows + some of the best written dialogue produced on TV. Second only to Deadwood I would say, which coincidentally has many of the same staff and cast as Justified.
One of the best scenes in TV history. It really captures the love and respect that these two hold for each other, especially the way Boyd feels about Raylan. Walton Goggins was masterful in this role, and well deserving of the praise he received. Timothy Olyphant may have been the primary star, but Walton made the series with that silver tongue.
I live in Ohio, but have a lot of family in KY, and "we dug coal together" is one of the closest things a civilian will get to military brotherhood I think. Those guys face death daily, amid horrible conditions, and it bonds them. When they're a thousand feet underground, they can only depend on each other to watch their backs. That bond still holds with 70-80 year old men. I wish my friends were half as loyal.
This is, simply put --- the best series I have ever seen , and the BEST ending by far to an series I have ever seen. Even having watched the entire series 3 times now -- it has incredible staying power. So many amazing characters, ALL of them really. Truly, thank you to EVERYONE involved in any way for JUSTIFIED !
Difference between a planned end to a show vs just being cancelled. I just finished watching the the finale episode and came to YT to see others thoughts. It's truly one of the best shows I've ever watched. Thoroughly entertained by every episode and every character. Amazing acting by everyone, amazing episodes, amazing developments. It's only fitting that they give Justified, a justified ending. Now also just researching, there is a new mini series about to be released. I hope it does it justice.
Just rewatched Justified and enjoyed the fact that whenever Boyd calls Raylan his friend, Raylan never denies it, despite calling everything else Boyd says a lie.
This is a masterclass on how to successfully close the page on a series, the relationship between these two was always tumultuous, but when the chips were down, the bond forged underground in a mine shaft was unbreakable, can't wait for Primeval
One of the all time great finales, the series in general was brilliant from the first scene all the way until the last. City Primeval has a lot to live up to.
There's this very thin and rare line in which a show have a perfect ending and somehow opens itself to a continuation. That's what Justified did. This scene was as perfect as a last scene can be, and yet, i couldn't be more excite for the follow up
I have watched the Justified series 7-8 times. That casting was incredible. I didn't realize that Chadwick Boseman (RIP) was in an episode until after he played Black Panther. So many great actors/characters in that show.
Such a great show. I was raised in southwest Virginia/eastern Kentucky and that part of the country is rarely depicted as accurately as in Justified. It’s easy to just roll with stereotypes-barefoot inbred hillbillies. In reality, life is complicated there. And the people are far more intelligent than expected. Similar to a Brooklyn kid who isn’t very educated, but has genius level street smarts. Also, the poetic flow of southern language, even between opponents, forces you to think through the dialogue and consider underlying motives.
It never dawned on me that when Boyd says was she alone Raylan he might have known eva was pregnant. Love this scene. We dug coal together still gives me chills
dang it. Now you got me thinking. didn't pick up on it. could be worse. which I wish the sequel would work around this. Boyd knows Raylan lied. He did question why he would go out of the way to do this. Remember, Raylan almost shot Boyd out of hate.
@@slewone4905 Yeah but if I allow myself to be sentimental, my mind always wonders back to one thing. They dug coal together.🤣 Raylan didnt kill Boyd with that shooting though which always left the question, why didnt he shoot for the heart. Boyd asked him this in the prison hospital afterward too.Maybe if city primevil does well, fingers crossed, we might see Raylan take another trip to Harlan
Literally my all time favorite ending scene of any series. It's brilliantly written and acted. Here's to hoping the new Justified can recreate some of this magic!
Two best friends on the opposite sides of the Law but they are held together by a bond that goes deeper than anything else imaginable it breaks my heart and at the same tie warms it because of the fact that this show dares to go were no show has gone before.
First time I saw Walton Goggins was on HBO's Vice Principles. He rubbed me the wrong way in the best way possible. As in, his acting was so on point. He truly is the center in any scene. I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserved. When he plays Baby Billy in The Righteous Gemstones... I lost it. No one could play that role other than him.
I've watched the last 5 minutes of this show a thousand times and it only gets better. We dug coal together. So much meaning and emotion expressed in just four short words.
From the UK. So good was the series, I watched it twice. Now it’s for rent/ buy only. If I’m going to have to pay… I’m going to treat myself to the DVD set.
"I know you have never believed a word that has come out of my mouth, but I have always harboured the secret hope that you have nevertheless enjoyed hearing them." What a perfect summary of that character's magic.
Another year has gone by and I find myself back watching this clip again. It is still magical when these two men were on the screen together. For me, Justified was perfect television and I doubt I will ever lover a show as much as this one. Once again thank you to everyone involved in this show, you transported us all for an hour a week into the hollers and made us fall in love with both the hero and and villain.
I truly believed Boyd Crowder is one of the best written and acted villains in TV history, Walton Goggins did a downright phenomenal job.
I was pissed they were not bringing Walton back at all in the continuation.

This is one of the very few series endings that had me in tears. "We dug coal together" is a line for the ages.
i...............love...................this......................scene................it so perfectly ties the show up...........thanks for posting
I live in Ohio, but have a lot of family in KY, and "we dug coal together" is one of the closest things a civilian will get to military brotherhood I think. Those guys face death daily, amid horrible conditions, and it bonds them. When they're a thousand feet underground, they can only depend on each other to watch their backs. That bond still holds with 70-80 year old men. I wish my friends were half as loyal.
Unbelievably great acting,writing and camera skills. Just one incredible series.
This is, simply put --- the best series I have ever seen , and the BEST ending by far to an series I have ever seen.
Even having watched the entire series 3 times now -- it has incredible staying power. So many amazing characters, ALL of them really.
Truly, thank you to EVERYONE involved in any way for JUSTIFIED !
Justified was an amazing show. So many great shows botch their endings, not justified. it was perfect.
I guess Boyd being in prison at the end was inevitable. I would have rather seen him retiring to a tropical island though. 😮
Difference between a planned end to a show vs just being cancelled. I just finished watching the the finale episode and came to YT to see others thoughts. It's truly one of the best shows I've ever watched. Thoroughly entertained by every episode and every character. Amazing acting by everyone, amazing episodes, amazing developments. It's only fitting that they give Justified, a justified ending.
Now also just researching, there is a new mini series about to be released. I hope it does it justice.
Absolutely The Best Show I ever watched on TV... The Cast was surrealy good, and never to be matched... can't wait for July🎉
Face it, Deadwood was an incredible casting pool that created that 12 years of incredible performances
Just rewatched Justified and enjoyed the fact that whenever Boyd calls Raylan his friend, Raylan never denies it, despite calling everything else Boyd says a lie.
Walton Goggins is the best actor that’s been overlooked countless times.
Great scene! Both actors were absolutely brilliant in their roles!
This scene always makes me think of the song "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive". So much truth in both.
The dialogue, the acting, the shooting, the background music... what a master piece of final scene, touching like any other.
Very few good shows end up having perfect finales. Justified is one of those shows
One of the best final scenes of a TV series.
This is some serious script writing and actor execution. Brilliant. 😊
This is a masterclass on how to successfully close the page on a series, the relationship between these two was always tumultuous, but when the chips were down, the bond forged underground in a mine shaft was unbreakable, can't wait for Primeval
One of the all time great finales, the series in general was brilliant from the first scene all the way until the last.
City Primeval has a lot to live up to.
One of the best series ever.
That Walton Goggins laughter at 0:17 is so iconic
For real, and that’s probably the best of Boyd’s “Raylan Givens” for the whole series…
There's this very thin and rare line in which a show have a perfect ending and somehow opens itself to a continuation. That's what Justified did. This scene was as perfect as a last scene can be, and yet, i couldn't be more excite for the follow up
I have watched the Justified series 7-8 times. That casting was incredible. I didn't realize that Chadwick Boseman (RIP) was in an episode until after he played Black Panther. So many great actors/characters in that show.
He was also on an episode of lie to me.
This show was outstanding, I have started to rewatch it and savor every min of the great acting! I am so excited to see the reboot!
Probably the most powerful and hard hitting final scene I’ve ever witnessed in a television series. God I loved this show followed by Sons
Such a great show. I was raised in southwest Virginia/eastern Kentucky and that part of the country is rarely depicted as accurately as in Justified. It’s easy to just roll with stereotypes-barefoot inbred hillbillies. In reality, life is complicated there. And the people are far more intelligent than expected. Similar to a Brooklyn kid who isn’t very educated, but has genius level street smarts.
Also, the poetic flow of southern language, even between opponents, forces you to think through the dialogue and consider underlying motives.
The best frenemies ever put to film. They had a great chemistry between them. I can't wait for the new series to come out. And hopefully a Boyd cameo.
It never dawned on me that when Boyd says was she alone Raylan he might have known eva was pregnant. Love this scene. We dug coal together still gives me chills
dang it. Now you got me thinking. didn't pick up on it. could be worse. which I wish the sequel would work around this. Boyd knows Raylan lied. He did question why he would go out of the way to do this. Remember, Raylan almost shot Boyd out of hate.
@@slewone4905 Yeah but if I allow myself to be sentimental, my mind always wonders back to one thing. They dug coal together.🤣 Raylan didnt kill Boyd with that shooting though which always left the question, why didnt he shoot for the heart. Boyd asked him this in the prison hospital afterward too.Maybe if city primevil does well, fingers crossed, we might see Raylan take another trip to Harlan
Oh, absolutely!
This show is simply AMAZING
Tears to my eyes, awsome.
What an amazing show! I just love it. Everything is so perfect, so well written and executed. Bravo to anyone involved.
Literally my all time favorite ending scene of any series. It's brilliantly written and acted. Here's to hoping the new Justified can recreate some of this magic!
Two best friends on the opposite sides of the Law but they are held together by a bond that goes deeper than anything else imaginable it breaks my heart and at the same tie warms it because of the fact that this show dares to go were no show has gone before.
Best scene of the whole series!!
First time I saw Walton Goggins was on HBO's Vice Principles. He rubbed me the wrong way in the best way possible. As in, his acting was so on point. He truly is the center in any scene. I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserved. When he plays Baby Billy in The Righteous Gemstones... I lost it. No one could play that role other than him.
I've watched the last 5 minutes of this show a thousand times and it only gets better. We dug coal together. So much meaning and emotion expressed in just four short words.
The writing in this show is top tier. The actors portrayals are at an equal level.
Such a good show. The comparison between them was superb
goosebumps. absolutely the PERFECT final scene between them.
From the UK.
So good was the series, I watched it twice.
Now it’s for rent/ buy only.
If I’m going to have to pay… I’m going to treat myself to the DVD set.
"I know you have never believed a word that has come out of my mouth, but I have always harboured the secret hope that you have nevertheless enjoyed hearing them." What a perfect summary of that character's magic.
One of the best Series, Finales, and the chemistry between these two actors is amazing
This has to be the best ending to any shows, EVER! Even to the last sentence, "We dug coal together." This has brought tears to my eyes
Another year has gone by and I find myself back watching this clip again. It is still magical when these two men were on the screen together. For me, Justified was perfect television and I doubt I will ever lover a show as much as this one. Once again thank you to everyone involved in this show, you transported us all for an hour a week into the hollers and made us fall in love with both the hero and and villain.
Hands down my favorite show. Nothing else comes close as far as I’m concerned.
It's the suttle music in the background that gets me
I like to add, Boyd knew Raylan was lying . They both loved Ava .
What a great show!
