Precedently on Fargo. Lester, is this what you want?

Yes.

See you later, Lester.

I'm going to get dressed.

Lester, are you okay?

Oh. Vegas PD is going to send over some pictures from the hotel security camera.

So don't leave town for a while. I may have some more questions.

Ready to go?

What? I thought we weren't going to go.

Acapulco, here we come.

Do you think you could run in? The passports are in the safe. There's some

in there, too.

It's cold out there.

You're sweet.

Is this what you want?

Anywhere you like.

Just you?

Uh, no, there's, uh, it'll be two of us.

Linda's just, uh, grabbing something over by the shop.

She dropped me off, said, order the grilled cheese. So, uh, I guess, uh, two

those.

And a drink?

A beer would change things for the better.

Yeah, family place, I'm afraid.

Oh, okay.

Two ginger ales, then. I'm going to use the bathroom.

Free with the meal.

Hey,

how are you doing?

Oh, hi. How are you?

Yeah, I'd like to report shots fired.

Sure, this is a non -emergency number. You should have dialed 911. Over on Elk

and 3rd.

Gunshots. Real loud, like about 10 seconds ago.

Sounded like they come from inside one of the shops.

Grilled cheese coming right up. That's great. Thanks.

Linda's just, uh... She dropped me off, grabbed something over at the shop, and

said she had to pick something up.

Yeah, you said that.

Want me to keep hers warm till she gets here? Oh, yeah, that's, uh, all low.

Like I said, it should be any second.

You know, there was a fella in here earlier asking about you.

About me? Yeah, uh, silver hair, little goatee.

So you went by your old house, but you moved.

Yeah, we got the house up by... What did you tell him? He said if you wanted to

leave a number, I'd give it to you.

He couldn't see his way clear to it, so we left it at that.

Can't say I much liked his demeanor.

Well, sorry for the bother.

No bother.

It's all you gotta know.

Nothing good is going to come out of that. Right.

Take the money, right?

Forget that. I say go for it.

I'll get it.

I'll get it.

Soberson.

Wait, what?

The other one now?

Well, where's Lester?

Okay, put out an APB. I'm getting my code.

What's that now?

Someone killed the second Mrs. Nygert.

Didn't they have to come?

Now we both know that's not true.

Okay.

Poor thing.

A headshot, I think.

Didn't look too close.

Yeah.

She's wearing his coat.

Meaning?

I mean, and maybe it's not Linda who's supposed to be lying here.

Sir, let me through.

Mr. Nygaard?

Oh, jeez. Yeah, yeah. Let's get him to sit down. Go over here.

God, jeez. What?

That's right.

Go sit down.

Sit down. Here we go. Sit.

This is not... This is not possible.

Mr. Nygaard, I have to ask you where you're coming from.

I just...

I was over waiting at the restaurant drinking ginger ale. Your dad was

her grilled cheese warm.

And I'm just waiting there. I can't understand. She said she had to pick

papers up.

This is not possible. This is impossible.

Lester, is there any way that... Do you think that this is connected to Las

Vegas? The murders we talked about earlier?

What do you think?

A repercussion for what you saw, maybe?

Well, uh, she's wearing your coat. The wife.

Molly saw that, so she's wearing... What do you mean she's wearing my coat? What

does that mean?

Well, she... Her coat got a rip, so I... Oh, wait. Uh, you

think... Yes.

I'm gonna be sick.

I'm gonna be sick. No, Lester, if you throw up, then I'm gonna... We gotta get

him out of here.

Okay, Mr. Nygaard, we're going to take you down to the station now.

Okay, ask you a lot of questions.

Timeline, et cetera, okay?

Yeah, whatever you think's best.

Wait,

do you think, can I just say goodbye?

Well, this is an active crime scene. Of course you can, Lester. Go ahead and

take your time.

Mr. Niner, can't have you touching the body, sir.

No.

Well, of course not.

I'm sorry. I just... I understand.

Come on, wait up.

I'm inbound with the husband. We'll need interview one.

Roger that, 613.

613 to base.

Yeah, go ahead, Molly.

Also, someone should wake those FBI boys.

They're over at Leroy's.

Tell them we got developments.

They should meet me at the station.

Roger that, 613.

We'll scoop them up.

We're awake, right? Who?

Us.

You're asking if we're awake?

Me and you. I was just... You know sometimes you're in the middle of a

Do you say everything that comes to your head?

I got him in interview one.

Also, they just called from the scene. Looks like the wife had plane tickets in

her pocket.

Mexico. Uh -oh. This could be a dream.

What's he saying?

A coroner saying a single shot from close up.

Said they found feathers in her head from her hood.

They were stuck and so execution style.

Should have said something earlier.

You heard what happened?

More than heard.

Saw the prowler scream by. Lester sitting out ten feet away eating a

cheese. Any chance you can put an exact time on his arrival?

Not down to the minute, but that's not why... You remember you came by with

those FBI fellas earlier, and I was looking out the glass.

With a peculiar look on your face?

Yeah. Well, there's the fella in just before you got there.

And he was asking about Lester.

What? Yeah.

I'm a fool for not saying.

He was maybe mid -50s, upscale looking.

Silver hair, brushed back with a goatee.

Drove a red BMW.

This fella?

Unless he changed his whole... Although, maybe.

Over at BMW, you said?

Yeah.

Oh, Molly, we're going in.

Dad, I gotta go.

Well, there's two ways of looking at it.

First is, you gotta.

Second is, you don't.

Call home for me?

Let Gus know that... Tell him it's gonna be all night?

Screw that.

Getting my gun is what I'm doing.

Go sit on the front porch.

Make sure my granddaughter's safe.

You're a good man.

Lester, is this what you want?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Is she... Bill, tell me she's not still lying there and everyone's just stepping

over her.

Mr. Nygaard, these fellas are from the FBI.

Is this... Come on.

I told you, I didn't see nothing. All I did was get on an elevator.

We're not here about Las Vegas, sir.

Well, we aren't, we aren't.

We're here about him.

Based on the hustle of the deputy, we have a name for him.

Lorne Malvo.

Answer the question.

Um, yeah. I'm now asking for a lawyer. This is for the record.

He's changed his look, hasn't he? I'm done answering you.

You've obviously made up your mind that I'm some kind of, you know, and I'm not.

My wife is dead!

And there are arrangements to see to.

So you can either let me up or let me go.

He's not going to stop.

You know that, right?

A man like that, maybe not even a man.

Hey there.

What's going on?

What do you mean?

I mean it's 7 o 'clock in the morning and you're sitting on my front porch

a shotgun.

There is some consensus this Malvo fella may be back.

Where's Molly?

Left her at the precinct last night.

Had Lester Nygaard in custody.

About to talk to him.

I'm going after her.

Keep an eye on Greta.

Believe me, I mean to.

Okay, so the plan is we fan out.

Prowlers on all the main roads looking for Malvo. Encircle the town, in other

words.

There's... Yeah.

Well, there are three main roads, so actually more of a triangle.

There's photos of the suspect in your packets. We hear he might have changed

look, though. So silver hair now, brushed back, possibly a goatee.

Drives a red BMW, possibly stolen.

The FBI sent in a team, and in the meantime, the two original agents are

out Lester's house.

Molly, Gus on one.

Yeah, I'll be out there with you coordinating maneuvers, so pass those

me. Thanks.

Yeah, hon?

Is it true? Is he back?

Yeah, I just finished briefing the guys.

We tried to crack Lester, but he wouldn't flinch, so the plan is now

to use him as bait while we... Yeah, so things are... They're real busy here,

hon. Look, hon, don't.

Okay? I gotta ask you not to... Don't go out there. You personally don't go

looking for... It's my job.

Yeah, I know.

And you're amazing and the best. And I have no doubt that if you wanted, you

could handcuff Al Capone. But some days, sometimes you get forces you can't

control. Bad luck, you know?

Bad luck.

Yeah, and this is all... If it really is him, Malvo, I just...

With everything we've been working for, you know, our family and... Gus. And I

know it's not fair.

And the FBI is there, so I just... Bottom line, I can't make her go to

funeral, you know?

Yeah.

Okay, don't worry. I'll just, um... Yeah, I'll run things from here.

Okay. Good.

Good.

I'm in the car. I'm coming over.

No, don't. That's not...

You know, just go home.

Be with our girl.

Hey, is my dad there?

Yeah. Yeah, he's on the porch with a shotgun.

Gotta love a man who keeps his word, right?

So you promise?

Yeah, he won't leave the building until they call and tell me he's surrounded.

No.

Until he's dead.

I'll call you in a little bit.

I was excited.

FBI fellow's going to call for backup. We're going to take Lester home, sit on

the house, see if we can't draw this Malville fellow out.

You okay, Chief?

Hanging it up after this.

What's that?

I quit, is what I'm saying.

Don't cut the stomach for it.

Not like some.

Wearing the badge, seeing the lengths people are capable of, the inhumanity.

Whatever happened to seeing good morning to your neighbors and shoveling their

walk and bringing in each other's toters?

Well, it still goes on.

Yeah, but not the same.

I used to have positive opinions about the world, you know, about people.

Used to think the best.

Now I'm looking over my shoulder.

An unquiet mind.

That's what the wife calls it.

The job has got me staring into the fireplace, drinking.

I never wanted to be the type to think big thoughts about the nature of things.

All I ever wanted was a stack of pancakes and a V8.

So I'm recommending that you take over as chief.

I appreciate that, but I... No, no.

You're the real deal.

You got the instinct and the disposition. I didn't see it before, but

Vern saw it. I know that.

So I'm hoping.

But after you have the baby, you come back here and take things over.

Well, I... I will think about that.

I will.

I've got to talk to Gus, so...

So, uh,

you're okay with the plan, then?

Call in the cavalry and set a trap?

Yeah. We're a small -time force.

We're not equipped for, you know, urban warfare.

Most of these guys can't shoot a can off a fence.

Okay.

Chin up, Chief.

Yes, this is FBI Maine. I'm looking for my agent.

Yeah.

They're with a suspect.

I can interrupt.

You want pepper or budge?

Negatory. Don't interrupt. Just tell them to call home when they're done.

Operations? Passcode?

6 -1 -alpha -theta -9.

Transferring.

Operations? Yes, this is Agent Budge.

We've hit a dead end out here, so we're going to be heading back.

Say again?

Dead end, heading back.

Hold on.

Did you just call looking for backup?

Yeah, my partner, he kind of jumped the gun on that one, but it looks like local

PD has it under control, so we're going to just pack and blow.

Help you, sir?

I hope so. I got my eye on this one.

She's a beaut, that's for sure.

V8 engine.

Only 22 ,000 miles on her.

I like it because it looks like an undercover vehicle.

Like an FBI car.

Well, sir, I guess she does.

Never thought about it.

Even got the long antenna on the back.

Mind if we take a test drive?

Well, we're not officially open yet.

I don't see why not.

Hold on, I'll grab the keys.

Shotgun.

Well, we're letting you go.

About time.

Yeah, and so the FBI fellas are going to drive you home.

Not necessary. I can call a cab.

Yeah, well, like I said, we're letting you go, but at the same time, a wanted

fugitive has been spotted in town, and we think he's got intentions towards

so ride home's not really optional.

Well, they're not coming in the house.

Okay, we can play it that way, but they're still going to stick around for

while.

Keep an eye on things.

You know, I'm not sure what it is that you've had against me since day one, but

I am not the person you think I am. It's this kind of

monster.

There's a fellow once running for a train, and he's carrying a pair of

this man.

He drops a glove on the platform, but he doesn't notice.

And then later on, inside the train, he's sitting by the window, and he

he's just got this one glove left.

But the train's already started pulling out of the station, right?

So what does he do?

He opens the window, and he drops the other glove onto the platform.

That way, whoever finds the first glove can just have the pair.

What are you telling me?

Goodbye, Mr. Nygaard.

Goodbye, Deputy.

I didn't do this, you know, any of it. That

deputy, boy, she's got a thing for me.

So Lester, say you had a boat. No.

Say you've got a boat and you've got a fox, a rabbit, and a cabbage.

Now, you can only row one of them across the river at a time. Now, you can take

the cabbage, but then the fox would eat the rabbit.

Or you can take the fox, but the rabbit would eat the cabbage.

What are you asking? Same thing on the other side. You could leave the rabbit

there alone, but what happens when you bring the fox over and go back for the

cabbage? Forget it.

My partner doesn't know what he's talking about.

I already told you to just eat all three of them.

Can I only...

Row him across in one direction?

No, no, either way.

Well, then you row the rabbit across, and the fox won't eat the cabbage.

Then you go back for the fox, and when you drop him off, put the rabbit back in

the boat and go get the cabbage. Only this time you leave the rabbit behind,

then you row the cabbage.

back across. Again, the fox will not eat the cabbage.

And then you go back for the rabbit.

That's it.

See, that wasn't so hard.

We feel we need to say again that your life may be in danger. Like a lot of

danger. So we're going to sit right here for a bit.

Keep an eye on things.

Three countries.

Thanks. Yeah.

You were a police one, Molly says.

State cop, 18 years.

Took a bullet in the hip on a traffic stop.

Retired full pension.

You ever do this before?

Stand guard?

One other time.

Winter of 1979.

Minus four degrees.

Sat on a dark porch from dusk till dawn.

Your stepmom was inside sleeping.

Four years old.

Who'd you think was coming?

It wasn't a question of who.

More like what.

Did it come?

Not that night.

But soon after.

What are you planning to do with that?

If he comes, I'll put his eye out.

You can finish him off.

That's my girl.

Yeah, so, car 18 checking in over on Bear Patch.

Pretty quiet, huh?

Okay, team, keep your eyes peeled over.

Car 6, anything?

Oh, hey, this is Car 6.

Out on 71.

I had a pickup with an unsecured load.

All quiet otherwise.

Yeah, roger that, 6.

Keep me posted, okay?

I'm going to run over to Lester's, but give a shot when the other FBI rolls up.

You think it's safe?

For me, I'm saying?

Here?

With that fellow out there?

I mean, everyone else is gone.

Yeah, maybe lock the door.

You still think this is a dream?

What?

This?

Today?

No.

What if my whole life has been a dream?

Yeah, but whose dream is it?

Heads up.

Could be our backup

FBI

step out of the car

Let me see your hands!

Handicap.

Sorry.

Is this a dream?

I got a little girl.

Police? I need the police, please.

Yes, it's an emergency.

This is Lester Nygaard. You gotta... I think that... You need to send somebody.

I need help now. I need you to come. Please.

Lester Nygaard.

Please, just hurry up.

I'm upstairs in the bathroom. There's no lock on the door.

Oh, God, you've got to hurry.

I figured it out.

Good for you.

Your riddle.

Shades of green. I figured it out.

mm -hmm

Have you been a bad boy?

No.

Please.

The hammer and, uh, look, can you come over?

I'm on Willow Creek Drive, number 613.

Oh, no.

Salverson?

Are you sure?

Okay, well, let me know what the divers turn up.

Take the money, right?

No, I say go for it.

What'd I miss?

The lady brought a list.

And Dad's being a wuss again.

Oh, stop it.

Scooch over, you.

Hey, so I got a call today.

They're going to give me a citation for bravery.

You?

Come on, you're afraid of spiders.

Buzz Aldrin was afraid of spiders, and he went into space.

Proud of you one You really should be giving it to you

No No, this is your

deal I get to be chief

Now I get it.
