Yeah. And you're...

We're from Fargo.

00:01:22,917 --> 00:01:25,896
Good. They, uh, said they
were sending someone.

8
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,519
They were right.

9
00:01:30,023 --> 00:01:32,257
There's no library in this town.

10
00:01:32,326 --> 00:01:34,659
Why is there no
library in this town?

11

Fargo sent us to find out
what happened to Hess.

00:02:03,774 --> 00:02:05,318
He got stabbed in
the back of the head

19

what happened to him.

connected to the business?

I...

24
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:41,175
Things have been quiet.

25

No labor BS, no skirmishes
with other trucking concerns.

26
00:02:45,849 --> 00:02:46,898
So?

27
00:02:46,967 --> 00:02:48,783
There was a guy.

28
00:02:48,852 --> 00:02:50,685
I told this to Fargo.

29
00:02:50,754 --> 00:02:53,421
He came by the garage
the day it happened.

30
00:02:53,490 --> 00:02:57,459
Brown hair, just under 6
feet, not young, not old,

31
00:02:57,527 --> 00:03:00,395
had a cut on his forehead here.

32
00:03:00,464 --> 00:03:04,749
Said he just wanted to take a look
at Sam, which he did, then he left.

Sam.

37

Sure, he was a
jerk, but deep down...

38
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:36,931
All I'm saying is, you're
gonna find him, right?

39
00:03:37,001 --> 00:03:38,201
The guy who did it.

40
00:03:51,081 --> 00:03:52,613

move in here for a while.

68

When he was a rookie,

69
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:11,663
he had a boss who couldn't
tell his shoe from his foot.

having a milkshake.

73
00:07:18,572 --> 00:07:22,374
Hail stone comes down, size
of a softball, crushes his skull.

stole the snow plow. (CHUCKLES)

even got probation.

We should talk to

Lester? Ugh.

92

statement back at the hospital.

But, see, thing is,

95
00:08:20,299 --> 00:08:21,844
Vern was on his
way to Lester's house

96
00:08:21,868 --> 00:08:23,212
to talk to him
about Hess' murder,

97
00:08:23,236 --> 00:08:25,347
you know, how possibly
Lester was involved.

Ah.

100
00:08:28,491 --> 00:08:30,791
Went to high school
with Lester. Uh...

101
00:08:30,860 --> 00:08:33,594
Had to dissect a mouse
in Mrs. Knutson's class

102
00:08:33,663 --> 00:08:35,964
and poor Lester fainted.

103
00:08:36,032 --> 00:08:37,276
Well, yeah, okay, but...

BILL: Girl had her
monthly once in gym class.

105

There goes Lester
fainting again.

106
00:08:41,555 --> 00:08:43,582
Right, so he... He doesn't
like blood, but still...

107
00:08:43,606 --> 00:08:45,323
Plus, this Hess murder,

108
00:08:45,391 --> 00:08:49,210
got to believe that's about the
cutthroat world of regional trucking.

109
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:51,196
Yeah.

110
00:08:51,264 --> 00:08:55,266
So it's, uh, just
coincidence, you're saying?

111
00:08:55,335 --> 00:08:56,979
Hess gets killed and then,

this is home invasion.

You know, it's a
drifter or some such.

not, you know, Lester Nygaard.

00:12:19,539 --> 00:12:21,740
I heard the washer going...

166
00:12:25,912 --> 00:12:28,179
Well, you know, she...
She was on the floor,

167
00:12:28,248 --> 00:12:29,491
you know, and
there was a lot of...

168
00:12:29,515 --> 00:12:30,960
I never even heard the guy.

169
00:12:30,984 --> 00:12:33,818
Uh, just one minute I'm...

170

Uh, looking at her...

171
00:12:36,256 --> 00:12:38,289
And the next...

172
00:12:38,358 --> 00:12:42,226
So, uh, you don't remember Chief
Thurman coming to the house then?

173
00:12:42,295 --> 00:12:44,879
Oh, no, no. I feel
sick about that, really.

174
00:12:44,948 --> 00:12:46,881
I guess he saw
the guy breaking in.

Uh, no, Mr. Nygaard. Uh...

Chief Thurman
came to talk to you

177
00:12:51,204 --> 00:12:55,356
about a man you may have met in
the emergency room the day previous.

00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:03,259
you can just give
us the bare bones...

182

We got a witness
says that, uh...

183
00:13:05,385 --> 00:13:09,837
She saw you and this other
fella arguing about Sam Hess.

184

Who?

185
00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:17,128
Sam Hess.

used to beat you up in high school.

00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,400
What?

188
00:13:21,434 --> 00:13:24,385
Oh, yeah, Sam had a
thing for ol' Lester here.

189
00:13:24,471 --> 00:13:26,387
Used to chase him
around the schoolyard

other ran out of gas.

called you? Lester Nig...

198

you were talking about
him in the emergency room,

so what's the story there?

Well, I, uh...

"My face is a mess."

that kind of thing?

an operating theory, okay?

you home... That's not...

All you gotta do is look through
those packages over there,

260

find the one addressed to
"Duluth" and then hand it to me.

Ma'am, can you confirm that

490
00:31:24,416 --> 00:31:27,829
your husband started his first
grocery with a loan from his uncle

491
00:31:27,853 --> 00:31:31,053
like it says in the
book? (LAUGHS)

492
00:31:31,323 --> 00:31:33,690
That's the story. (SNORTS)

But you don't believe it?

494
00:31:35,377 --> 00:31:37,060
HELENA: Stavros had two uncles.

495
00:31:37,129 --> 00:31:39,908
One was a drunk who lived
in a barn... (DOOR OPENS)

496
00:31:39,932 --> 00:31:42,693
And the other died in a fishing
accident when he was 10.

(DOOR CLOSES)

00:31:50,175 --> 00:31:51,975
Oh, yeah, from the store.

502
00:31:52,043 --> 00:31:53,154
Hey, I got one for you.

506
00:32:01,253 --> 00:32:03,153
A trombone.

00:32:04,005 --> 00:32:06,039
Oh, yeah. (LAUGHING)

508
00:32:06,107 --> 00:32:09,176
That's a good one. A trombone.

Your dad's screwing us, mister.

What? I'm just being honest.

514
00:32:17,586 --> 00:32:20,854
He's a hard-on, your
father, and you're too trusting.

515
00:32:20,923 --> 00:32:23,139
But he's my dad
and you're my mom

516
00:32:23,208 --> 00:32:26,209
and everything's
gonna work out, okay?

00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:27,422

You're gonna pack
up your shit and blow.

I'll tell Stavros you
couldn't find the guy,

and in return, I
won't bust your head.

I did some digging on you,
made some calls, you get me?

Yeah, Chief?

So, just want to make sure we're
on the same page about everything.

about what? (SIGHS)

571
00:35:58,039 --> 00:36:01,741
Just about Lester and
the case, you know.

572
00:36:01,809 --> 00:36:04,755
Just want to make sure you
know to focus on the break-in angle.

573
00:36:04,779 --> 00:36:07,858
Maybe call some other towns,
see if they had a similar problem.

No, higher.

575
00:36:10,535 --> 00:36:12,855
Similar to three murders,
including the police chief?

576

Not, you know, literally.

577
00:36:16,041 --> 00:36:18,458
Just ruffians and the like.

Right there. Perfect.

Look, Chief, I know
you don't think Lester...

580
00:36:22,914 --> 00:36:24,613
Maybe call the
Staties, you know?

581
00:36:24,682 --> 00:36:26,683
See if they effected
any car stops,

Not really. I'm kind
of in the middle of...

641
00:40:44,425 --> 00:40:45,736
Sure. Yeah, no, I understand.

642
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,505
Yeah, it won't take a second.

643
00:40:47,529 --> 00:40:49,495
Um, so listen, going back
to the emergency room.

644
00:40:49,564 --> 00:40:52,465
That... That first visit, that was
for a broken nose, is that right?

645
00:40:52,534 --> 00:40:55,501
Shoot, I... I just remembered.

646
00:40:56,621 --> 00:40:57,920
Um, sir...

647
00:40:57,989 --> 00:40:59,550
(STAMMERING) You
know, I... I got to be honest.

648
00:40:59,574 --> 00:41:03,559
(STAMMERING) I'm starting
to feel a little harassed here.

649
00:41:03,611 --> 00:41:04,794
Now, that's not...

650
00:41:04,863 --> 00:41:06,261
MAN: Sir, your unguent!

651
00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:09,265
Sir!

652
00:41:10,468 --> 00:41:11,717
I think he means you.

653
00:41:13,554 --> 00:41:15,700
You know, you're
asking about a fella,

654
00:41:15,724 --> 00:41:18,024
that I might've talked
to at the hospital,

655
00:41:18,093 --> 00:41:19,203
when you should be out there

656
00:41:19,227 --> 00:41:22,228
looking for the animal
that killed my wife.

657
00:41:22,296 --> 00:41:25,364
With all respect, sir, your
wife's not the only victim here.

658
00:41:25,433 --> 00:41:27,311
A friend of mine was killed,

659
00:41:27,335 --> 00:41:29,146
plus, you know, Sam Hess.

660
00:41:29,170 --> 00:41:32,038
Yeah, I told you, I haven't
seen Sam since high school.

661
00:41:35,694 --> 00:41:39,062
I'm not sure this is
your car, Mr. Nygaard.

662
00:41:39,130 --> 00:41:41,197
What? Oh, no, it's...
(STAMMERING)

663
00:41:41,265 --> 00:41:43,099
It's my wife's.

664
00:41:43,168 --> 00:41:44,783
Mine's in the shop.

665
00:41:44,870 --> 00:41:47,798
Well, sir, it's just... It's hard
to believe is all, you know?

666
00:41:47,822 --> 00:41:50,234
I mean, you're saying this is all
some... Some big coincidence,

667
00:41:50,258 --> 00:41:52,308
you know, you
knowing Sam and all.

668
00:41:52,377 --> 00:41:53,577
And it's a quiet town

669
00:41:53,612 --> 00:41:55,723
and suddenly we got
four victims in 24 hours,

670
00:41:55,747 --> 00:41:56,807
yourself included.

671
00:41:56,831 --> 00:41:58,659
And then there's this witness

672
00:41:58,683 --> 00:42:01,529
saying that you were talking
about Sam Hess the day he died

673
00:42:01,553 --> 00:42:02,896
and, you know, then it turns out

674
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,633
you and he had
differences in the past, so...

675
00:42:05,657 --> 00:42:08,202
You know, all I'm
saying is, just...

676
00:42:08,226 --> 00:42:10,476
Help me understand
what happened.

677
00:42:10,544 --> 00:42:15,348
Look, I answered all
your... Just ask Bill, huh?

678
00:42:15,417 --> 00:42:18,901
Your boss, he said
he was satisfied.

679
00:42:18,970 --> 00:42:20,970
And I... I got... Look at me.

680
00:42:22,123 --> 00:42:24,607
My wife

681
00:42:24,676 --> 00:42:26,242
is dead,

682
00:42:26,310 --> 00:42:27,338
and you're harassing me.

683
00:42:27,362 --> 00:42:29,106
I'm not harassing you, sir. I...

684
00:42:29,130 --> 00:42:31,113
Talk to Bill!

685
00:42:31,182 --> 00:42:33,193
He'll tell you this...
This was a break-in.

686
00:42:33,217 --> 00:42:35,262
(ENGINE STARTS) You're
wasting time talking to me.

687
00:42:35,286 --> 00:42:37,887
I'm... I can't help you.

688
00:42:37,955 --> 00:42:39,305
Watch your feet now.

(KNOCKING)

691
00:43:05,399 --> 00:43:07,833
LOU: So, how's it going?

692
00:43:07,902 --> 00:43:10,670
Uh, well, it turns out Lester and
Hess went to high school together

693
00:43:10,738 --> 00:43:12,938
and Hess used to beat him up.

694
00:43:14,776 --> 00:43:16,909
A learned detective
might consider that a clue.

695
00:43:16,978 --> 00:43:19,411
Yeah, that's what I said.

696
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,148
But Bill's a big believer
in coincidence, apparently.

697
00:43:22,217 --> 00:43:25,634
Well, what he lacks in common
sense he makes up in self-esteem.

698
00:43:25,687 --> 00:43:26,803
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

699
00:43:28,639 --> 00:43:30,139
Bill have a theory?

700
00:43:30,191 --> 00:43:34,043
Oh, yeah, he says that it
was a spree, you know?

701
00:43:34,112 --> 00:43:37,596
A drifter or, quote,
"gang of drifters."

You know, like it's 1942.

703
00:43:39,350 --> 00:43:42,752
Like, uh, drifters are a
national threat. Hobos.

704
00:43:42,821 --> 00:43:44,904
(SCOFFS)

705
00:43:44,972 --> 00:43:49,442
Well, he's chief now, so he
sets the agenda, same as always.

706
00:43:49,511 --> 00:43:52,261
Yeah, I know. It's
just... (CHUCKLES)

707
00:43:52,330 --> 00:43:54,675
I mean, you know, here
we get this car crash

708
00:43:54,699 --> 00:43:57,600
with this dead man in
frozen panties nearby,

709
00:43:57,669 --> 00:43:59,079
and the driver has a head injury

710
00:43:59,103 --> 00:44:00,514
and maybe went to
the emergency room

711
00:44:00,538 --> 00:44:02,938
where he talked to
Lester about Sam Hess,

712
00:44:03,007 --> 00:44:05,741
and then within 24
hours, Hess is dead

713
00:44:05,810 --> 00:44:09,929
and then there's the fracas with,
you know, Lester's wife and Vern.

714
00:44:13,301 --> 00:44:15,768
Not sure if you remember,

00:44:36,091 --> 00:44:38,273
but it's relative, you know?

723
00:44:41,045 --> 00:44:44,246

truancy and the like,

725
00:44:46,651 --> 00:44:49,385
and then there's
the stuff a cop sees,

726
00:44:49,453 --> 00:44:52,855
murder and violence,
and general scofflawery,

727
00:44:54,826 --> 00:44:57,946
and then there's the kind
of deal you're looking at now.

00:44:58,980 --> 00:45:00,813

thought he might do that.

00:45:59,140 --> 00:46:00,873
Yeah, we talked
about this and all...

750
00:46:00,958 --> 00:46:02,574
And I thought we were...

751
00:46:02,643 --> 00:46:05,845
I thought I was clear that we were
gonna focus on the drifter angle

752
00:46:05,913 --> 00:46:07,742
and not, you know,
harass the victim.

Well, I'm not, you know...

00:46:10,151 --> 00:46:12,196
I didn't harass him. I just...
I got questions, you know.

now I gotta take you off the case.

you felt about Vern.

it's best if you just...

you, career-wise, because, uh...
