BackgroundEdit

Becket works in the pawn shop owned by Glen Fogel. The shop is a front for Fogel's activities as an oxycontin dealer. Fogel is supplied by the Dixie mafia in Frankfurt, Kentucky in exchange for stolen goods.

Season 3Edit

Pawn shop owner Glen Fogel dismissively deals with a deadbeat who wants to sell a wrench set. He offers 3 dollars, upsetting the man. Messer walks in and Fogel tells the customer to get out. Fogel locks the door behind him and then goes into his back room where Messer and his assistant Wally Becket are waiting for him. He asks what happened and Messer tells him about fleeing a police roadblock. Becket laughs at Messer and Fogel tells him to shut up. Fogel asks about JT and Messer hangs his head. JT was arrested at the roadblock when he overturned the truck.

Becket drags JT into Fogel’s office. Fogel disparages JT and compares him unfavourably to Messer, saying that at least Messer was able to get away. JT blames the arrest on Messer but Fogel says that he does not want to hear it. Fogel brings a revolver and bullet out of his desk. Fogel asks if JT spoke to the police and is annoyed when Becket answers for him. He asks JT again and JT denies having said anything. Fogel spins the chamber shut and calls JT over, asking if he is wearing a wire. Becket says that he has checked him and Fogel says that is exactly why he is checking again. JT apologises and Fogel says that it is really his fault for working with addicts. JT says that he is in withdrawal and Fogel is incredulous that JT is asking him for drugs after getting arrested and getting Fogel’s truck confiscated. JT offers to go out and steal a television. Fogel hands JT the gun and says that he can have a pill if he wins at Russian roulette. Beckett laughs and Fogel again tells him to shut up. JT fearfully puts the gun to his head and pulls the trigger, no shot fires. JT holds the gun out to Fogel but Fogel tells him to do it again. JT complains that is not how Russian roulette works and Fogel tells him that he is playing Harlan Roulette. Messer interjects and Fogel quiets him by threatening to make him play. JT complains that the odds are worse and Fogel offers him a full bottle of oxycontin. JT repeats the motion, surviving again but this time losing control of his bladder. Becket and Fogel laugh at him and JT turns the gun on Fogel and repeatedly pulls the trigger, no shot is fired. Fogel wrests the gun back and reveals that he palmed the bullet. He loads the weapon, aims at JT and pulls the trigger. No shot fires and Fogel observes that it is JT’s lucky day. He pulls the trigger thrice more, killing JT on the fourth attempt. He orders Becket and Messer to clean up and dispose of the body.

Becket has Messer dig a grave outside of town. Messer rambles as he digs, saying that he has never seen anyone shot before. He asks Becket how many people he has seen Fogel kill and Becket tells him to dig the hole. Becket and Messer return to the pawn shop. Fogel tells Messer that he knows that he is a federal fugitive and expresses his annoyance that Messer kept it from him. He pressures Messer into killing Deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens, instructing him to invite Raylan to his home on the pretext of giving himself up and then to shoot him.

Raylan has Messer call Fogel and tell him that he was successful but was wounded in the attempt. Messer, suspicious, has Becket get guns and ammunition before driving him out to Messer’s house. They find the house deserted. Raylan pulls up behind them and gets out of his car. He tells Fogel that he has Messer in custody and Fogel tells Raylan not to believe anything Messer says. Raylan warns Fogel that he has two choices; join Messer in handcuffs or leave in a coroner’s wagon. Raylan says that he knows Becket is round the back. Fogel is unmoved, saying that Raylan is outnumbered two to one. Raylan says that it is more like one and a half because Becket is stoned. He asks Fogel why he bothered bringing Becket. Fogel offers to give up Duffy in exchange for leniency. Raylan says that is acceptable and tells them to put down their guns. Becket is disbelieving and tells Raylan that Fogel killed JT. Fogel tells him to shut up and calls him an addict. Becket aims at Fogel and says he will give himself up if Raylan kills Fogel. Fogel says that Raylan needs him and will not shoot him. Becket shoots Fogel in the chest and Fogel returns fire, killing Becket. Raylan instructs Messer to call 911 and goes to check on Fogel. Fogel complains that Raylan let Becket shoot him and says that he cannot die there before drifting into unconsciousness.
