- Givens visits Boyd in prison. Once again, the criminal goes on and on about his "ministry" before Givens interrupts him with a question about Arlo. "I want to know everything you know about what he's up to," Givens says. Boyd warns Givens that he would do better to worry about his immortal soul -- and he might have a point. Givens is one violent dude.
Later, a half-naked Ava awakens a fully naked Givens. The two are sharing a hotel bed again -- and the topic of living together arises. "You're tarnished with the dark stain of D-I-V-O-R-C-E," Ava jokes. The talk soon turns serious, though -- as some of the men who made Ava's past life so miserable are soon due to be released from jail. "I ain't leaving," she says. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. It's Mullen, who admonishes Givens for not checking his cell phone. The marshal and his boss have to drive to Cincinnati. "Tell me that wasn't Ava in there," Mullen says. Givens can tell him no such thing.
The pair arrives in Cincinnati and head to an art gallery. They ask about a man named Owen, who tried to sell some art to the place. Owens apparently stole a bunch of money some years back -- a small-time Madoff. The gallery owner takes the marshals to Owen's home, which contains an extensive art collection. They explain to Owen that all his assets will become property of the U.S. government. The news doesn't faze the man, who shows the gallery owner his "Hitler" paintings. "You mean Adolf Hitler?" Mullen asks.
Givens then questions Owen's young wife -- and explains that her husband has been served with an "order of forfeiture."
"He thought he was so smart," the wife says. "All his Jew lawyers can't help him now. I bet he never told them about this Hitler collection."
Offended, Givens leaves. Back inside, the gallery owner declares the Hitlers to be fakes. Considering he paid $300,000 for the paintings, Owen is angry. After Givens and Mullen leave, Owen and his wife berate David, the man who sold Owen the Hitler. David claims the gallery owner is lying. "He wants to get them from you for cheap!" David says. Just then, Greg the horse trainer enters -- and shoots Owen in the head.
David is horrified. "Why?!" he gasps. Snaps the sudden widow: "They can't put a dead man on trial. The case against Owen will be dismissed!" She then warns David that he did sell Owen fake Hitlers -- on her suggestion -- which would ruin his reputation if revealed. So David agrees to play along. Later, the cops arrive to arrest Owen, but discover him dead -- seemingly from a suicide (he is holding the gun). Givens isn't buying it, though. He notes that most suicide victims fail to hold onto the weapon.
But Givens has bigger problems. Back at the office, he is introduced to agent David Vasquez. "I'm looking into your shootings," Vasquez says. "Would really like to talk to you." Givens swears that the mobster he shot way back in the first episode "pulled first." In other words, the killing was justified. Now it's Vasquez's turn not to buy it.
Later, Winona visits Givens -- and asks for a favor. "I need you to run some names," she said. "I wouldn't ask you this if it wasn't really important." Givens, after explaining the illegality of such a request, grudgingly agrees.
Meanwhile, David is being interviewed by Gutterson, who explains that something was burned in Owen's fireplace the night of his death, but it wasn't the Hitlers. David appears surprised. "We don't know where the paintings are," Gutterson admits. Givens then visits his ex-wife's new husband, Gary, a Realtor. Givens then begins talking about the state of the housing market "People must be doing some desperate things," the marshal says. "You've seen any of that?" Gary squirms -- and with good reason.
Givens pulls the man close and warns him about "dragging" Winona down into any illegal shenanigans. Gary appears terrified, which is more than justified given Givens history of violence.
Cut to David confronting Owen's wife about the non-burned Hitlers. She explains that she decided to hold onto the paintings as "insurance." Even worse, she demands David's share of the sales: $150,000. "If you don't get it, those paintings will reappear and everyone will know you sold fakes," she sneers. David would appear to have no choice. Later, Givens visits Mrs. Owens -- and asks about her relationship his horse-trainer Greg. Givens then asks about the paintings. Which paintings? "The ones you burned in place of your husband's Hitler paintings," Givens says. Mrs. Owen flinches -- and storms out.
Later, Mrs. Owen runs to Greg. She tells him that Givens "knows" about the paintings. She then pressures him to deal with David, who has yet to give up the $150,000. After Mrs. Owen leaves, Givens enters to talk with Greg. The marshal tells a long story about wanting to shoot his ex-wife's new husband at one point, but "where would it end?" The answer: nowhere good. The horse trainer, who has been holding a pistol on he marshal under the desk (which Givens surmises) seems to take the story to heart.
David soon arrives -- to find the furniture covered in tarps. Uh oh. Sure enough, Greg punches David out cold before leveling a gun at him. Mrs. Owens urges the horse trainer to shoot, but he hesitates. Finally, Greg lowers the gun -- and announces that he isn't going to do it. The police, who have been waiting in the next room the entire time, enter. "I'm sorry," Greg tells Mrs. Owens, who is cuffed and led outside. Case closed.
But not the episode. Winona visits Givens at his place -- wondering about the names she asked him to run through the system. First, though, Givens admits he "played his part" in the divorce. He then explains that he didn't find "anything out of the ordinary" in relation to the names. Winona thanks her ex and then takes her leave.
Later, Givens pays a visit to the gallery owner, who explains that his German father once worked for Hitler. "I hated my father," the owner says. "So I buy Hitler's shitty paintings -- and I burn them." He shows the marshal his private "art collection," shelves of jars holding the cremains of der Fuhrer's canvases.
Finally, Givens visits Boyd again. "I want you to forget about Arlo," Givens says. "I met a man whose whole life was crippled. I'm just going to let that old dog lie."
