"Outlaw" is the eighth episode of the fourth season of the American Neo-Western[1] television series Justified. It is the 47th overall episode of the series and was written by producer Benjamin Cavell and writer's assistant Keith Schreier and directed by John Dahl. It originally aired on FX on February 26, 2013.
The series is based on Elmore Leonard's stories about the character Raylan Givens, particularly "Fire in the Hole", which serves as the basis for the episode. The series follows Raylan Givens, a tough deputy U.S. Marshal enforcing his own brand of justice. The series revolves around the inhabitants and culture in the Appalachian Mountains area of eastern Kentucky, specifically Harlan County where many of the main characters grew up. In the episode, Raylan questions former Sheriff Hunter Mosley about Drew Thompson's whereabouts. Meanwhile, Boyd is pressured by the Harlan elite to kill one of their members while Duffy is also impatient as Theo Tonin demands Drew Thompson's death.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.18 million household viewers and gained a 0.8 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received critical acclaim from critics, who praised the writing, acting, and character development.
