Stop talking and listen. You wanna run your hillbilly heroin fiefdom up here, that’s between you and the great state of Kentucky, I got no interest in shitkicker-on-shitkicker crime. But you will not drag me into this. The next time you set up an operation in this county or anywhere else it better not have my goddamn family name on the deed or so help me God, I will lose this star and the dance we do subsequent to that will not end with you finding Jesus in a hospital bed.

Because of the man Raylan is, and because of all the armor he’s built up around himself - and that doubles whenever he goes back to Harlan - he doesn’t let himself grieve for Helen for a very long time. He’s cold, and he’s laser-focused on finding Dickie, and when the armor cracks, it’s only to let anger with Arlo through for a while. But then he takes Dickie out into the woods to execute him - to live up to his family destiny and become one more player in the ancient Givens/Bennett feud - and Raylan decides he wants Dickie to understand just who it was that he killed. And in talking about Helen, and what she did for him in giving him the money to get away from Arlo and Harlan and the coal mines, he realizes that this is exactly what Helen wouldn’t want of him. She wanted him to make something of himself, something other than what his family had done for decade after decade. And while Raylan Givens has no problem killing people, it should never be like this. One of the reasons he built his famous code in the first place was to separate himself from Arlo and the others - so that he could look himself in the mirror after putting a man down and feel like it was the thing to do. Dragging an unarmed, crying, pathetic Dickie into the woods is not that, and as he gets caught up in his memories of Helen, Raylan can’t do it. (x)

“What do you make of a man who divorces a woman, then gets her pregnant, then wonders if maybe they should move in together?”
“Well, now, Raylan, you’re talking to a man who is sleeping with his dead brother’s widow and murderess, so if you’re looking for someone to cast stones at you on this matter I think you’ve picked the wrong sinner.”
