	List of episodes

"Measures" is the eleventh episode of the third season of the American Neo-Western^[1] television series Justified. It is the 37th overall episode of the series and was written by co-producer Benjamin Cavell and directed by John Dahl. It originally aired on FX on March 27, 2012.

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, Quarles goes on a downward spiral as his Detroit boss decides to take matters on his own hands and sends hitmen after him.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.49 million household viewers and gained a 0.9 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received very positive reviews from critics, who praised the fast tone, writing, acting and character development.
