	List of episodes

"Fugitive Number One" is the eleventh episode of the sixth season of the American Neo-Western^[1] television series Justified. It is the 76th overall episode of the series and was written by executive producer Taylor Elmore and Keith Schreier and directed by Jon Avnet. It originally aired on FX on March 31, 2015.

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, the Marshals have set a search for Ava after she shot Boyd and stole Avery's $10 million.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.96 million household viewers and gained a 0.6 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received extremely positive reviews from critics, who praised the RV fight scene, writing, performances, directing and emotional tone.
