Pilar Reyes

Pilar Reyes is a supporting antagonist of the FX TV show Justified. She is the niece of Gio Reyes, the sister of Ernesto Reyes and a member of the Miami Drug Cartel. She was portrayed by Alexandra Barreto.

Season 1
Pilar and Ernesto first appear in the episode "Fathers and Sons", in which they are present in a meeting between Gio and Harlan crime boss Bo Crowder. Gio introduces the two, and informs Bo that the two are going to drive a meth shipment down to Harlan. At the end of the episode, Pilar and Ernesto are driving the shipment to Harlan when a man working for Bo's son Boyd tricks them into pulling over and throws them out. Boyd then destroys the shipment with a rocket launcher he bought from Lemuel Becket as Pilar and Ernesto run away.

In the following episode, "Bulletville", Pilar and Ernesto arrive at the bar belonging to Bo's nephew Johnny, where they tell Bo what happened. However, Pilar makes the ill-advised decision of telling Bo that Gio will kill him if he finds out he lost the shipment, resulting in Johnny and Hestler Jones locking the two in the utility cupboard to temporarily delay Gio finding out until Bo has killed US marshal Raylan Givens, who Gio wants dead due to the shooting of Tommy Bucks. Pilar and Ernesto later manage to escape near the climax of the episode and arrive in Bulletville, where Bo has lured Raylan. When they arrive, they see Boyd capture Bo at gunpoint, and Pilar shoots him down with a sniper rifle, killing him. Pilar, Ernesto and a group of Cartel gunmen open fire at Raylan and Boyd, but Boyd manages to escape after wounding Ernesto, who is then killed by Raylan. With the gunmen dead, a defeated Pilar flees in her SUV, with Boyd in pursuit.

Season 2
At the beginning of the Season 2 premier "The Moonshine War", Pilar hijacks a tanker at gunpoint and forces the driver to fly her to the airport. However, Boyd catches up to her and throws her out of the tanker as she arrives, before preparing to shoot her, only to be distracted by an arriving Raylan, who tries to talk him out of killing her. Boyd attempts to shoot her anyway, but is fired on by a Cartel member who was sent by Gio to escort Pilar back to Miami. Raylan kills him and knocks Boyd out, before taking Pilar, who was seriously injured when Boyd attacked her, back to Miami in order to make peace with Gio.
