Precedently on Fargo.

Who?

Fargo!

Freeze! Police officer!

That cop, the female, says

you're a suspect.

Suspect of what?

For Pearl, the chief.

Even Samu. If you want this to go away, you gotta give him someone.

It's good waffles, hon.

It's a mix.

Who's ready for second?

Gordo? Yeah?

What you doing there?

Reading a comic.

It's breakfast time, though. Supposed to be family time.

Yeah, put the comic away, huh?

One more page.

No, it's not. It's breakfast, mister. Family time.

You heard your mother.

Mom needs help after school.

Got hockey.

After hockey, then.

I want to play with Kevin.

Well, you can play with Kevin tomorrow.

It's time you learned some responsibility.

Ooh, hi.

Listen to that.

Come on, bud. Get your boots on. You don't want to be late for the bath.

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss. Love ya.

And me.

No funny stuff today.

So we're in the room with the stripper, yeah, and Blackman wants to know how

much for a Blumpkin, which I'm like, what the heck is that?

Blackman, yeah, so he says, you know, why not stick around and find out?

And I'm like,

yeah, I'll call her back.

Yeah.

Whoa, whoa, slow down.

What do you mean the cops are there?

In the house. They say that Gordo brought the gun to school and they're

up the house. They say they got a search warrant. Don't, don't let them.

I'll be right there.

Just, I'll be right there.

I'm coming.

I'm on my way.

I can explain that

Bill?

Busy morning, huh?

Is there some kind of development with the case? Is that why I'm...

Where's the female deputy? She got shot, Lester.

She died? In Duluth.

I should be up there right now, but then there's this mess.

I don't even know where to start.

It's like...

When you see on the news a boat sinks an Indian, 300 people drown, and you ask

yourself, do I know 300 people?

Or one of those African massacres with 12 -year -olds with machetes, and they

killed, you can't even count that high.

We lost 16 people in 1920 to the flu. I looked it up.

In 78, six people died in a pharmacy fire, but nothing like this ever.

Three people murdered in two days.

including the chief of police, Lenny Potsmithing, and a cop shot. And now a

brings a gun to school.

A kid?

It was Gordo Lester.

Gordo?

My Gordo?

He had a handgun in his backpack, unloaded, thank gosh.

But still, you can't. Not with the current climate.

Is he in trouble?

He brought a gun to school.

And still, Gordo's the least of this.

We searched the house.

And Lester, I got to tell you, I don't know whether to... After

all these years, I like to think that you could have come to me.

You could have trusted me as a friend with... We know you

were in the room when Vern was shot.

You had a shotgun pellet in your hand. Same as killed Vern.

Was your wife having an affair?

With Chaz?

Mm -hmm.

We found a photo.

Photo at his place.

Suggestive. I don't want to talk about it. Boudoir photos and a pair of... On

Bill. Yeah, and I know, I know how much you loved her. I remember.

Ninth grade science class, Mrs. Nagatuck.

Pearl walks in the first day of class and sits down, and you look at me. I'm

going to marry that girl one day.

But she was always... I know this is out of line, but we all heard the

stories.

But to sleep with your own brother?

I don't.

God! Your own brother?

And what then? She tells him it's over and he... We all know your brother had a

temper. He broke a guy's nose once just for cracking wise at the state fair.

Yes, I remember.

He had to do community service.

So what? She cuts it off, the affair, and then he... All

I know is that I came home from work and they were arguing in the

basement. I heard the voices. I thought, is that Chaz? And so I went over to the

top of the stairs to hear, you know.

And she says, love, is that what you think this is or something like that?

She laughs.

And she says, you know, you're not half the man.

Your brother is.

Then I hear this sound.

I'll never forget it. So I'm downstairs

and it's Chaz.

He's got the hammer and he looks up at me and says, oh, geez, Lester.

What did I?

I'm upset.

I try to get to Pearl, you know, to check if she's, and Chaz says to me,

this was an accident.

An accident?

He hit her with a hammer.

And he raises up the hammer again.

He's still looking at me.

I don't know if he's going to or what. So I say something like, Chance, what

heck?

And the doorbell rings.

Vern? I wanted to say something, Bill.

But Chaz, you know... You were afraid. Oh, I was afraid.

And Chaz is my only brother.

So then what happened?

So then we go upstairs.

And Chaz says, take care of it.

And he goes in the back.

Where you kept the shotgun. Where I kept the shotgun. I should have thought of

that, the shotgun. I know, I know. But I was in shock.

So I let Vernon in, and right away... I think, to tell him, to say what's

happening. Because Pearl can still be alive, doctor. There might still be time

to... And then Chaz comes in with the shotgun.

I should have stopped him. I should have said right away, Chaz is in the house,

and he's there.

But I was afraid, like you said.

And now... And now...

Bill, if you think that makes me guilty of something, then I'll... I want you to

throw the book at me.

Put me in jail.

Because I loved her, you know.

Despite all... She was...

She was my wife.

officer.

She's awake.

What happened?

Um, you got shot.

Just go outside now, okay?

Why?

Just do it.

Did we get him?

Who? My uncle.

I had him until this other fella popped up.

Look, now, I gotta tell you something. Do you know what happened to the fella I

shot?

He's, uh... They got him upstairs.

Inattentive. I shot him twice.

Just like they teach you.

Is that her mask?

And him with a bazooka.

How the heck did I do that?

Because you're you.

Look, here's the, um... Um...

I shot you.

That don't make sense.

You ran off.

And I couldn't see anything, you know? I mean, not that that's any... I mean,

there's no excuse for it, for what I did.

You were out there, alone, needing backup, and I... What I was?

A spleen.

I'll get you a new one, I swear.

Yeah, you better.

There's going to be an inquiry.

I was too shook up at the scene, too.

But I'll confess.

I'll probably take my badge, but with all that's happened, that's likely best,

so... Come on, now.

You said yourself is blizzard and white -out conditions, and I...

Well, I could have shot you just as easy.

I've just been messing things up from the go.

Hey, now.

It's enough of that.

You want some pop or something? No, I want a new spleen. That's what I want,

you know, better get cracking, mister.

Dad was watching the restaurant.

Screw the damn restaurant.

Guess we both got bullet holes now, huh?

You got premium channels?

I'm not sure, I just look up.

Gopher, is it playing?

That's what you want to watch.

Ben Schmidt says you put down a guy with an assault rifle.

No, he was pointed at me.

Cleaners. Hi, yeah, I got... How you doing there, then?

Oh, I'm real good now. How are you? Oh, you know, can't complain.

Wife's got a bit of a cold, but that's life, right?

Sure. Well, my house needs a...

It's... Well, I'm not gonna lie, it's a real mess.

Well,

do you fellas do crime scenes?

Yeah, it's a little worse than a break -in.

Well, I'd rather not... Well, let's just say there's a lot of blood.

Hello?

So I noticed you got a pen on your map in every state but Georgia.

What the hell do you got against Georgia?

My first wife.

She was Korean.

She used to spit at me when we had sex.

Can I sit?

Or did you want to kill me standing?

Two hombres took a run at me in Duluth.

Mexicans? That's the wrong part of the sentence to be focusing on.

The point is, they said Fargo sent them.

So I have two questions.

First, did you tell these boys where to find me?

Second, who do I see about this in Fargo?

Look, you know I can't. Did you put them on me?

No, of course not.

But you've got to understand, this is a business of relationships. I can't

just... Relationships.

Right.

And, well, it's not my position professionally

to get involved in squabbles, especially not of a private nature.

How do you know it's private?

If people are unhappy with our services, they call.

A guy screws up, arrangements are made. A cash settlement, if that's not enough,

you break a leg or an arm.

No calls.

Not about you.

So whatever it is, it's got to be personal.

This one calls an ambulance.

That one calls a hearse. I'm going to ask you again, and depending on the

answer, I pick up this or that.

Who do I talk to in Fargo?

You remember me?

Dead.

Can you talk?

Speak, I mean?

Right, but you read lips?

You know I'm the one who shot you, yeah?

Do you remember me from before?

In Bemidji?

The insurance office?

You were talking to Lester Nygaard.

Just hit me lying in bed thinking about what happened.

Hold the phone, I know that fella.

Did you come here looking for Malvo?

Born... Malvo.

Born Malvo?

Did Lester tell you where to find him?

It hurts.

Yeah.

Mine too.

You know, it's crazy. I never shot anyone before.

I'm gathering this wasn't your first time, though.

Look at us.

And you got a dad somewhere, I bet, just like me.

And I mean, what's the point, you know?

But here you are, and your friend is dead, and you're going to spend the rest

your life in jail.

Then for what?

Okay, Mr. Nygaard, I've got to ask you to stand and put your back to the bars.

Listen, officer, this is a huge mistake.

This is a setup. Sir. Do you understand?

Evidence has been falsified. Sir, turn and back towards me, or I'm going to

to see you.

This is a nightmare.

You've got to believe me. I didn't do these things. Not for me to say, sir.

Grand Spurter County.

You'll be there until the trial.

Until you make bail.

Jeez. Lester.

Oh, hey.

Heard you got arrested.

Ah, well, you know how it is. Got a few too many, left it off at the station.

And they can blame you, really, after what you've been through?

Yeah. Yeah.

They were real sweet to me.

I'm the victim here, you know.

Of course.

So, what's on the agenda for today?

I'm ready to go, you know.

Start fresh. I can work late even.

There's nothing at home but an empty house, so...

Right.

Well, uh, I was just about to call the widow Hess.

Yeah, her claim has been denied.

You don't say. Yeah. Seems Sam stopped paying the premium.

Shame, really.

I mean, good for us. That was a big policy.

Well, she's not going to be happy about that. No, she's not.

Why don't I take that off your plate?

Really?

I mean, I don't know. You sure you're ready for... Look, she can't shout at

right? Then after... I mean, we're in the same boat.

So I figure I tell her she has a good cry and that's that. Otherwise, she's

going to be all claws out.

That makes sense.

Yeah, it's settled.

I'll head over.

You don't want to just call?

No, in person is better, I think. Give her a shoulder, you know.

I, uh, brought you some flowers.

Oh, thanks.

Put them... What

are you... Oh,

making my head hurt. Whole case.

All the moving pieces.

Thought I'd put it up, you know, graphically.

See if things made much more sense.

I called back to Bemidji to talk to Bill that he's... I don't know, some kid

brought a gun to school or something.

So everyone's kind of running around.

And to be honest, everything they said didn't make much sense anyway.

Who's the deaf fellow, then?

The fellow upstairs tried to murder me with a bazooka. Oh, yeah?

Turns out he can't hear.

And the other fellow with his throat cut, I'm guessing he translated.

And they're who now?

Well, that's the thing.

All I can think is, and maybe this is a stretch, but heck, if I know any other

way to think about it, Sam Hess, right?

So, he owns a trucking company.

And we always thought he had maybe alleged ties to organized crime, this

operation out of Fargo.

So, when Hess gets killed...

I'm thinking maybe Fargo sent these two boys to figure out what happened.

And how did they end up here?

Well, follow me.

If we think, which we do, that Lester, on the day of the murder,

got bullied by Heth and then met Malvo at the hospital.

Right. And hired Malvo to kill Heth.

Which he did.

And then...

These two boys come in from out of town asking questions.

Get to finding Lester.

And he sends them here.

So Lester knew that Malvo was here, in Duluth.

Would appear that way, yeah.

But that, that's ammunition, right?

I mean, to go back to Lester.

Oh, yeah. You betcha.

Took forever, but I got him to sign off on taking you home.

Oh, so you're... Oh, yeah, sure, that recovered home, you know.

Makes sense, sure.

Thanks, Dad.

Well,

okay, guess I'll see you later.

Oh, Dad, my flowers.

Thanks for these.

You bought me flowers.

You don't say.

Glad you like them.

I'm going to put them in water as soon as I get home.

You keep your chin up, Gus Grimley.

We're winning this thing.

Don't you forget.

So he's got the stick in his mouth, right?

Bite him down.

And I grab the arrow.

And Craigie's in the car having a giggle.

Thinks the whole thing's hilarious, which gets my cousin out there, right?

put the knife out of me boot.

And lunch is over.

I don't know how they eat that crap every day.

Speaking of... What?

It's fresh.

Do you know the conditions of a modern fast food restaurant? I'm not just

talking about hygiene.

Get bent.

They did an experiment once.

Scientists took two glasses of water.

Then he starts cursing at one, calling it all kinds of names. I swear to God.

I swear to God.

He yells at one glass and then whispers sweet nothings to the other glass.

What's the code for the elevator?

933.

Jesus. What?

What was that?

Call it in.

Oh, okay.

Call it in, man.

You're popping. Wait.

Where are you? Hold on.

I think we should get in the car and then back up a few feet and then pull

in like we just arrived. Focus on that.

You need to have fewer ideas.

Shitballs.

You're insane.

Let me do the talking. Why?

Because when you talk bad shit... Get back!

FBI!

We're FBI!

Back! Get back!

What do you guys got?

Really?

It's a body. He doesn't know. Lock it down.

Multiple gunshots.

A shooter's still inside the building.

You're going to need more patrolmen than this. Okay, okay.

Okay, we're good.

We're going in. Back us up. Jamie, you follow us.

It's about time.

I've been calling.

Sorry about the delay.

You hold the red tape on these things.

Mm -hmm.

Come on in.

Thanks.

You look real nice today.

Thanks.

You're sweet.

Boy film?

No, thank God.

I have a game.

Good.

Good.

You don't go then, no? Are you kidding?

I just stay here trying to drink enough so I'm numb by the time they get home.

Got one of those for me?

Why, Lester.

Cheers.

To fresh beginnings.

Yeah.

So it's all set, right?

Getting paid.

Well, they should.

What do you mean, should?

When do I get the money?

Like I said, there's a few more hoops on these homicide cases. We're not just

talking about filing a death certificate.

I don't think I'm... Telling you anything you don't know, when I see

insurance companies, they don't like writing checks.

But I'm going to get it, right?

Well, that is where a skilled middleman such as myself comes in. You see, it's

all about knowing who to call.

It's all about knowing which palms to grease, if you get my meaning.

I know little something.

Greasy palms.

Well, why don't you and me have another drink?

You can show me that.

Yes.

Should take you home and put you to bed.

Just be a second, I promise.

Hey. Oh, my gosh. Are you... They said you were still... Oh, I'm...

Bullet went clean through.

Doc said take a few days, rest up.

Otherwise, fine.

Where is everyone?

Celebrating. We got them. Who killed the chief?

Lester?

You arrested Lester?

No. Didn't she hear?

It was his brother, Chad, the whole time. He was having an affair with the

She broke it off.

What? Yeah, beat her with a hammer, then shot the chief.

Lester covered for him.

Bill thinks because of Chad's temper, you know, the fear factor.

Where... That's not... I gotta talk to Bill. Where's Bill?

Yeah, with the rest.

Over at Bernard.

I'm supposed to go over after my shift.

Okay. I gotta... Shouldn't you go home?

You okay, hon?

Now I get it
