Evan was right about one thing.

The winters are brutal both
here in duluth and on the

north Dakota prairie.

-Officer, have you ever been
in a bootlegger's house?

-Ah ... bootlegger sir?

-Prohibition.

-Ah ... I'm not sure detective.

-You have now.

-Excuse me, have
you seen my second?

-Not yet.

Arthur borglund, 72
year old Caucasian male.

And by the look of the body...

-Sorry I'm late.

-Please do not interrupt.

Continue Sidney.

-I'd say that Mr. Borglund
did not die in his sleep.

-The pillow?

-That'd be my first thought.

Care for the time of death?

-Yes please.

-Temperature, rigor
mortis, I'd estimate 3 A.M.

Give or take an hour.

Mr. Borglund had the usual
array of prescriptions for

a man of his age.

I don't see anything
potent there.

-Thank you.

-There's a little more.

The boys downtown have taken
a special interest in this.

I had three calls on
the way over here.

-Ah.

The death of a rich old white
man tends to have that effect

on the department.

-Let me when you're finished.

I'll pick up the body.

-Thank you Dr. Sidney.

-Detective dupree,
I'm Mark sorensen...

Sorry I'm late.

They were shorthanded downtown.

Your parents, grandparents,
where are they from?

-Ah ... scandinavia,
I don't know?

-I'm native American.

Ojibwa.

-Ah ... yes sir?

-We were here before you.

Don't ever be late again.

-No sir.

-Is this your first homicide?

-Ah yes sir.

-Good.

I will not ignore your
inquiries,

but I'd prefer you observe
first, ask questions second.

Please take good notes.

Anything of this
scene jump out at you?

-Pillow's been moved.

-Good.

My people made birch bark
canoes, harvested wild rice.

What did your people do?

-Ikea?

-Good.

Officer sorensen do you sail?

-You mean like boats?
No.

No, but I run.

-North shore?

-Occasionally.

-Do you know if the family
is still in the house?

-Yes, they're in the study.

-Good.

Let's go talk with them so
they may go about their day.

-Do you know any
Minnesota history?

-In 6th grade we took
a field trip to the

capital in Saint Paul.

-Stunning rotunda.

Did you also read
the song of hiawatha?

-I ... I don't recall.

-By the shores of gitche gumee
by the shining big-sea-waters,

stood the wigwam of nokomis
daughter of the moon, nokomis.

-Oh ya, I remember that.

-May I suggest
you read it again?

-You may.

-Good.

-Good morning.

I'm detective dupree.

This is officer sorensen.

-I'm Evan borglund.

This is our secretary
Sonja jonhausen.

-Was it his heart?

-That has yet to be
determined ma'am.

When was the last time either
of you saw Mr. Borglund?

-Last night.

I shouldn't have ...

-Evan.

Last night Arthur,
Mr. Borglund,

was entertaining his
board of directors.

I neglected to invite
Evan and he arrived,

upset that he wasn't included.

-I'll need a list
of those guests.

-Of course.

-Did Mr. Borglund
entertain often?

-Occasionally, once a month.

-Did he share the
house with anyone?

-No he lived alone.

I have help come in once
a week to help clean

and cook a few meals.

-Was the help here last night?

-No.

I took care of everything.

-I noticed a surveillance camera
on the front of the house.

Are there others?

-Four.

-Sorry to ask, but did Mr.
borglund have any enemies

that would wish to do him harm?

-I ... I don't understand?

-It's a standard question
ma'am, in every investigation.

-No.

-Mr. Borglund?

-Yes?

-What was the purpose of
your visit this morning?

-Father doesn't drive any more.

I pick him up in the morning
and drop him off at night.

It's our time to talk.

-When did you
arrive this morning?

-Seven.

-Could you retrace
your steps for me sir?

-Sure.

I opened the door and
called out to father.

He's usually in the
kitchen having his coffee.

When he didn't answer
I checked the kitchen.

He wasn't there.

I called upstairs,
he didn't answer.

I walked up and ...
I called 911 and then Sonja.

-Are any valuables missing?

-I haven't checked.

-There's an inventory
in the safe.

-We'll need that list.

-'Course.

-Who would benefit from
Mr. Borglund passing?

-Excuse me?

-His shares transfer to a trust
administered by the

borglund board of directors.

-What now?

-The same board members
entertained here last night?

-Yes.

-Sonja?

Really?

-Evan, those were
your father's wishes.

♪

-Who all has the
keys to the house?

-Myself, Evan, and Arthur.

♪

-We'll need to secure
the house until the

investigation is complete.

The computer will be
removed for evidence.

-Is that really necessary?

-I'm afraid so.

Does that pose a problem?

-No, no of course not.

-Detective, do you think
that my father was ...

-It's unknown at this
moment how your father died.

Thank you for your time.

And sorry for your loss.

-Good morning thank
you for joining US.

We have some
sad news to report:

Arthur borglund has
been found dead.

For decades a pillar
of the duluth community,

borglund was president and
c.E.O. Of borglund shipping.

The company began as borglund
and Klaus but was renamed after

the untimely death of borglund's
partner Jonathan Klaus, in 1986.

Arthur borglund
is survived by ...

-That's enough of that Victoria.

-Freda!

-Detective,
check your in-box.

You're going

the borad members
entering the house...

... and a little
while later...

-Hm.

Six in, six out.

-Well kind of.

It's right here.

-Hm.

Every shore has a mate.

Every mate has a shore.

-I'm sorry, what did you say?

-It's from an old sailing poem.

Every shore has its mate
and every mate has a shore.

-What does that mean?

-It means when you set sail from
one shore, you'll find another.

And it also mean every
sailor has a favorite port.

-Are you saying Ms. Jonhausen
is Mr. Borglund's ...

Shore?

-Perhaps.
Who's next?

-There's Evan,
Ms. Jonhausen, and then ...

-... our guys, Dr. Sidney,
myself, then you.

-What makes you say that this
house was owned by a bootlegger?

-Minnesota history Mr. Sorensen.

The north shore wasn't as
active as lake Michigan,

but illegal alcohol did flow
from Canada to Minnesota.

-Excuse me.

Detective dupree here.

Dr. Sidney.

Yes.

-Thank you Dr. Sidney.

Official pronouncement,
death by asphyxiation.

-So are we looking
at the murderer here?

-Possibly.

What did you use?

-Twenty-two.

You're good.

-How can you talk
about tomatoes?

-It's life dear.

It goes on.

Now are these tears for
you or are they for Arthur?

-I dunno.

It's unforgivable what that
son-of-a-bitch did to mom.

Didn't you hate him?

-Maybe.

But I loved her.

Her choice to have
you, to raise you.

I supported her one
hundred percent.

I'll support you one hundred
percent whatever you want to do.

-I think I'm leaving town.

-Then leave.

-Wait, wait, wait.

Why would you tell
her to leave town?

-She owes forty thousand
dollars and she doesn't have it.

-And Arthur was going
to give it to her?

-He was going to buy my company.

With the money I'd pay
off Troy and start again.

-Well if Arthur liked
your idea maybe Evan will?

-It's better than running.

-Maybe.

-Mr. Sorensen have you
completed your list?

-No sir.
Not yet.

-Then I'll see you in a while.

-Hello Evan.

Thank you for meeting me.

Would you like some coffee?

It's on me.

It's been a while.

I'm so sorry to hear
about Arthur's passing.

-Thank you.

-I don't mean for this
to be adversarial.

-O.k.

What should we talk about?

-My company in north Dakota ...

-Oh, o.K.

How much?

-Remember when we use to
play together as kids?

The two of US chasing each
other around the house.

I enjoyed that.

We were family.

-Victoria, I admire you.

Rising up from minimum wage,
starting your own company,

you made something and made
something of yourself.

-Thank you.

-So it didn't work out.

Many companies run by
experienced professionals

get into trouble and fail.

It's no reflection
on your abilities.

Just next time don't fail.

Think of it ... as experience.

-My visit last night
was not what you think.

I don't want his office and
everyone knows that you do.

Whatever it's worth,

I'll put in a good word

Yup.
She's right here.

Yup.

We'll be here.

Sure.

Yup.

K...

-Ouch.

-Want one?

Pick 'em up.

Five-card draw.

Queens are wild.

Just like you.

Pretty little girl
from the trailer park.

Dealer takes three.

-That's all you are and
all you'll ever be.

-Wanna bet?

-Don't really care darling.

I'm just the cowpoke
hired to round up strays.

You pat?

-I bet forty thousand.

-Now that is funny.

Pick up your cards.

-You taking me
back to williston?

-Not my choice Vicki.

Bet you a cigarette.

-What would you do with
ten thousand dollars?

Go back to Houston?

-Ha.

Vegas baby.

Vegas.

First stop, her house.

Pick up your cards.

-If you take me to my brother
I'll pay you ten thousand.

Deal?

-You're bluffing.

Ya ain't got shit.

-Double down and
you'll find out.

-Vicki darling, you don't
know who you're dealing with.

If not for that mad dog j.P.,
you and I'd be knocking boots

right here, just like you
and your boyfriend did.

Dang girl you're beautiful,
but I won't gamble with j.P.

Now pick up your cards.

-Coward.

-Good morning Mr. Sorensen.

-Morning sir.

-I read your
research last night.

Sit.

-I have more.

-Sit.

-The forensics report of
the pillow is on your desk.

They found hairs.

They're consistent with
that of the deceased.

Nothing was found
missing from the house.

It was purchased by
a bootlegger in 1923.

And Arthur borglund
had a business partner,

Jonathan Klaus.

-And where is he?

-He died of an overdose in '86.

-And this leads you to what?

-I'm not sure sir.

Everyone on my
list has an alibi.

-Contact Victoria schaffer.

Ask her to come in
for an interview.

-Okay.

Detective I should tell you,

I was out with
her last night.

-Define "out".

-There's a bar down
the street from I live.

I stopped in for a
beer and she was there.

-Did you interview her?

-No sir, we just had beers.

-Beers?

-And ... a dance.

-Mr. Sorensen, I assume you are
using the proper denotation

and not the provincial
connotation of that word.

-Ah ... okay.

I don't know what you just said.

-Good.

-Hello.

Mark?

No.

She isn't here.

She didn't come home last night.

I thought she was with you.

-Here she comes.

-Cass.

-Freda what's wrong?

Mark?

Who are you?

-Cass.

Victoria...

-What is it?

-She mentioned a
guy in williston.

She owes him money.

-Yes.

So?

-What was his name?

-Troy.

♪

♪

♪

-Howdy j.P.

-Out of my way.

-Who hit you?

-Troy, where are her shoes?

-She tossed them on the road.

-Vicki, I know you can't pay.

You left town, stopped answering
your phone, and I can only guess

started dating a lumberjack.

-I told you I'd get
my money out of you,

so here's what's
going to happen.

I know a guy in Nevada.

Troy will drive you there
and you will do

whatever the customer wants.

Now I'm not the best
judge of these things but

I'd estimate you'd bring
five hundred dollars a day.

Minus a typical
percentage for the house,

you'll have paid your debt
to me by ... Halloween.

So you're already in costume.

-That's funny j.P.

-So either you do this
willingly or I'll have

Kenny and Tony drug you.

-What's it going to be?

-I have a better idea.

-You're in no
position to negotiate.

-You knew I wouldn't
go willingly.

That's why you brought them.

-That's all you got?

-It's a long drive.

Troy here will try to take
advantage of me, more than once.

I will fight back.

What will your customers
think when the product you're

selling is damaged?

And as for three months?

I'd say closer to six or seven.

Maybe even Valentine's day.

And I've never taken
you to be a patient man.

-I'm not.

-I can get you your
money by tomorrow.

All of it.

-Ha!

-My father's a rich man.

There's a safe in his study.

Your money's in that safe.

-Who's your father?

-Arthur borglund.

-He croaked.

-I know the house.

I played in it as a kid.

My mother was his secretary
and ... his mistress.

-You have the
combination to this safe?

-No but my brother does.

-Oh and for you
he'll just open it.

-He stays at the office
until five, every day.

He has his own personal parking
spot behind the building.

We can be in and out of that
house in less than ten minutes.

You can be back in north
Dakota by 24 hours.

-If you take me to my brother,
I will get you your money.

Deal?

-Boys, pick up some take out.

That money better be there.

-How'd you do that?

-Detective dupree.

-Captain Palmer.

-So who's this
Victoria schaffer?

-She's out of williston.

She met with Arthur borglund
the evening he was murdered.

-And how's this Troy
character fit in?

-He's a mid-level gangster
out of the oil fields.

We believe she procured some
short-term finances with him.

-Do you like him for
the borglund murder?

-He has motive.

And if he's in
town, opportunity.

-So what led you to
Freda schaffer's house?

-Anonymous tip.

-Detective.

Oh shit.

-Hungry?

-He hit you didn't he?

-Nice piece of jewelry.

-It was my mother's.

-If your mother was
borglund's ... mistress,

then why aren't you
sitting pretty right now?

-She died.

-Of what?

-Breast cancer.

-Too bad.

Let me give you some
friendly advice.

Blood don't mean
shit in this world.

And family?

They'll fuck you
over for a dollar.

-Are you gonna let me go?

-Is that money in the safe?

-Okay, our task is a sweep,

from the west end of the
city to the east.

Your target is Troy berg.

-His known associate
is Jack patrowski.

-These individuals may be
holding Victoria schaffer

against her will.

-Find out if anyone
has seen them in town.

North Dakota authorities have
informed US that these two

may be armed and dangerous.

If you see them,
call for backup.

Play it safe.

Let's go.

I know where one is.

-I know a cop.

I'll tell him you're heading
back to williston when you're

really heading up north.

-Who's the cop?

-A friend.
Duluth police.

-The speedboat is in a
Marina south of downtown.

-Shut up.

He'll help me.

never coming back.

-I got you your money.

And I got US out of that house.

How 'bout I dig a tunnel

-No need.

I'll drive you.

-Last night at approximately
11pm central standard time, the

borglund residence was robbed.

At this time the whereabouts
of Evan borglund is ...

-All right, all right.

Tell me something we don't know.

-We can surmise j.P. Was
involved in the murder

of Troy berg.

-We can further surmise,
neither j.P. Nor Troy

knew the location of the
safe, or its combination;

Evan had to be present
during the robbery and quite

possibly the murder.

Then there's the tunnel.

It's safe to assume only three
people knew of its existence:

Evan, Sonja, and
Victoria schaffer.

-Schaffer?

-Her mother was Melinda
schaffer, Arthur borglund's ...

Secretary.

-Due to Victoria schaffer's
familiarity with the residence

and with the deceased Troy berg,
I believe she was present at the

robbery as well as the murder.

Captain?

I think Victoria schaffer
murdered Arthur borglund.

-Yes and Jimmy hoffa's
buried under city hall.

-Idiot.

-Bit of a stretch
don't you think?

-No way.
How do you come up with that?

-Rennie.

I know you're in charge of that
investigation but we have a

cold-blooded killer
loose in the city.

Find him first.

-Yes sir.

-Anything else?

Then get to it.

-You are way off
base about Victoria.

-Smoke?

-What are you going
to do with Evan?

-You're new to this business.

I've been doing it a long time.

I don't need Evan.

I got you.

And here's how I got you.

You used the tunnel didn't you?

That's how you killed daddy.

-You hated your father so
bad you could taste it.

Scraping by all those years.

Scratching for every dollar and
meanwhile your brother, that

selfish shit, gets
everything handed to him

on a silver platter.

All motorbikes and party life.

And as it turns out,
he's not even a borglund.

That seem fair to you?

No you did it.

You waited until he turned
out the light and fell asleep.

Then you changed.

You used a tire iron
to pop the door.

I saw the marks on the frame.

You snuck through the
tunnel, into the basement,

and ever so quietly, slowly,
made your way up the stairs,

and into his bedroom.

You watched him sleep: His
chest rising and falling.

You picked up his pillow and
then pushed it in his face.

After, you drove home
and said good night.

Perfect alibi.

You killed daddy.

I don't need your brother.

I got you.

And if I ever need
to talk to the d.A.,

I'll tell them what I know.

Plea my way down
to a year or two.

But you?

You'll get life.

You got a good head for
this business Vicki.

What do you say
you come work for me,

and we make some real money?

-You ready for tonight's

Because I don't believe
Victoria killed her father?

-No it's because you're
in love with her.

Work on your list.

-No!

-I'm impressed, vickie.

You were smart to
ditch your boots.

connect you to his murder.
