Pick me up in an hour.
We'll get the money.
(Don) He's gonna pay
a million dollars?
[Drill whirring]
Did you mean
to lock me in here?
We got a big day tomorrow.
Get some rest.
That's Sam Hess.
You think this could be, like,
an organized crime thing?
We're from Fargo.
You're gonna find him, right?
The guy who did it.
(Mr. Numbers)
I need a name.
Malvo! Malvo!

Could be extramarital
on the wife's side.
So, uh, now, they're en route
to a second location
to apprehend who we,
uh, think is responsible.
Dead.
What's that?
Not apprehend.
Dead.
Don't care extramarital.
Don't care not related.
Kill and be killed.
Head in a bag.
There's the message.

Welcome, ladies,

To Turkish Delight...

where your wish...
your wish is our command.
[Drill whirring,

Time to make the call.
No.
I mean, you know...
maybe I don't wanna know,
you know?
'Cause maybe something
got broken there in the night,
you know, something important,
like trust.
You know, maybe, uh,
we need to revisit
who gets how much here.
What's in the bags?
Look, okay,
here's what I'm thinking.
I'm thinking 60/40, right?
You know, with me getting, uh--
you know, because, you know,
am I or am I not doing
all the, uh...
What about the--
the voice thingy there?
[Sighs]
[Distorted voice]
Luke, I am your father.
[Modulator falls]
Ow.
Stop screwing around.
Wha--
[Sighs]
Luke--
I think you broke it.
[Exhales]
So about
that 60/40 split there...
you know, I--
Hey, why is there paper
on the windows?
Word for word.
You really want me
to say all this?
[Clock ticking]
[Man shouts]
[Horn honks]
[Grunts]
[Gasps]
[Phone rings]
Yeah?
(Don)
[Distorted] Once upon a time,
there was a little boy.
He was born in a field
and raised in the woods.
And he had nothing.
In the winter
the boy would freeze,
and in the summer
he would boil.
He knew the name
of every stinging insect.
At night he would look
at the lights in the houses,
and he would want.
Why was he outside and they in?
Why was he so hungry
and they fed?
"It should be me," he said.
And out of the darkness
the wolves came,
whispering.
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
Yeah.
(Don) Gustafson parking
garage, high noon.
[Dial tone]
[Door opens and closes]
Well, did it sound
like he's gonna pay?
I-- I don't know
what that sounds like.
So is the Greek the boy or...
Give me that duffel over there,
and I'll tell you.
Hey, uh...
[Laughs]
what's with all the duct tape?
[Grunts]
(Norm on radio)
I'm telling you, folks,
things are shaping up
to make this
one of the worst blizzards
in Minnesota history,
the perfect storm
or what have you.
This is definitely one
for the record books.
(Woman on radio)
That's right, Norm.
And expect whiteouts
and blizzard-like conditions.
And since it's to move slightly
down from Canada,
also expect poor road
conditions and even closures.
So, folks,
please avoid driving today
unless you absolutely have to.
Gosh, avoid going out--
[Buzzer]
[Sighs]
Starting to come down out there.
Storm of the century,
they're saying.
Is Greta here?
No, she's at a friend's.
Thought it would be safer.
[Clears throat]
Um, you didn't have to come.
I was coming anyway.
Told you last night.
- Just left a little earlier is all.
- [Chuckles]
So, um, you really think
this Malvo fella
was at your apartment?
Not at the apartment, outside.
Uh, my neighbor,
he does the watch.
Said he saw this fella
sitting in his car
outside the apartment.
May even have followed me here,
I'm thinking.
So the neighbor--
Jewish fella--
he gives the guy a warning,
you know,
a kinda "move along."
Said the fella
was real menacing in return.
Had a police scanner, he said.
Talked about how maybe
he was gonna
come back and kill
the neighbor and his family.
Aw, jeez.
Did you call it in?
Well, see,
I don't think they'd believe me
is the thing.
I mean, not after, you know,
I arrest the wrong fella,
being what they think.
So there's that.
[Laughs]
He get a plate number,
your neighbor?
Yeah, yeah.
He, uh...
I called it in.
SUV of some type, company car.
Which company?
The grocery chain, you know.
July in January.
- Phoenix Farms.
- Right.
Which...
[Sighs]
This Malvo fella's
saying he's a pastor,
so I'm not sure
of the connection there.
Well, maybe we should
drive over,
see what they say.
Yeah.
Let me get changed.
Morning, Mr. Creech.
[Grunts]
And how are we feeling there,
Mr. Nygaard?
Oh, yeah.
Real good.
Ready to go home.
Well, now, that's up to him,
I suppose.
So how's your pain level
on a scale of one to ten?
Uh, yeah, not bad.
So maybe a three?
[Inhales]
Hmm?
Wh-what's with, uh...
Why is there
a police officer outside?
Not for me to say, is it?
[Laughs]
[Clears throat]
Okay, Mr. Creech,
I'll be back to take you
to radiology in ten minutes.

Lester, it's me.
Hey.
What did you do?
- When?
- Come on, Lester.
There's a deputy outside
the door, for Pete's sake.
I just... ah...
cut my hand on a--
some rusty nail.
Not sure how that involves
local law enforcement.
They said you were there when
the police chief got murdered.
[Sighs]
Well, heck.
[Laughs]
I think I'd remember that.
Unless...
I don't know,
with the head injury maybe...
- 'Cause things--
- You're lying.
S-says who?
That cop, the female,
says you're a suspect.
- Suspect of what?
- Murder.
For-- for Pearl, the Chief.
Even Sam Hess.
[Laughs]
That is crazy is what that is.
I'm the victim!
Me!
He came to my house.
They!
I almost died.
Did you tell her that?
Don't lie to me!
I took you in m--
my house...
- This is--
- ...around my kid.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Classic.
Cops can't figure out
who did it,
so they start
throwing blame around.
You said you were kidnapped.
You call me in a meeting,
said you were mixed up
in something.
That was-- I told you
I was just pranking you.
No, you said you were
in the trunk of a car,
said a couple fellas
grabbed you.
What are you mixed up in,
Lester?
What the heck is going on?
Chazz, I swear to you,
this is all
just a...
Heck, you're my brother.
You should be on my side.
People are dead, Lester.
Your own wife.
A-- a conspiracy,
they're saying, like, like,
like maybe you hired a fella
to... to...
To?
What?
Come on.
[Inhales]
Chazz, I swear to God.
I did not do this.
Anything.
Well, they think you did
or know who did, so...
so you gotta
give 'em something.
Someone.
If you want this to go away,
you gotta give them someone.
Chazz...
buddy, come on.
This is...
You have gotta
stand by me here.
You've been a burden
my whole life.
I'm done.
There's something wrong
with you, Lester.
There's--
there's something missing.
You're not right in the world.
Chazz.
Chazz.

Here's Mr. Creech's chart.
Can you take that

[Horns honking]
So he had a shotgun pellet
in his hand this whole time?
Lester?
Yeah.
Which means he wasn't
knocked out in the basement
like he said he was.
So maybe...
maybe he and Malvo
weren't foes there at the end.
Maybe they colluded
on this whole thing.
Hmm.
Welcome to Phoenix Farms.
Hiya.
We're police officers.
You sure are.
- This about the bugs?
- Sorry?
The bugs.
The-- What do you...
Locust?
Er... wait.
Maybe we're not
supposed to tell people.
Dave, are we telling people
about the bugs?
Is there a manager
or someone we can talk to?
Not sure anybody's in yet.
Dave, anybody
in the offices yet?
Let me check.

Deputy Solverson.
We're here about a company car,
who's driving it.

Uh, when a manager gets in,
just have him call.
- Okay, sure.

Thanks for stopping by!

He's baffled, just like me.
Did you make the drop?
No.

late to get off the pot.
It's a lot of damn money.
It's not about the money.
It's bigger than the--
(Stavros)
Thank you, God.
(Semenchko)
Than what?
I know what I gotta do now.
Give me an hour and head back.
Tell the damn kid
I love him.
Yeah, I'm, uh,
I'm not gonna say that.
Pack your shit!
We're heading home.
Was that my dad?
Ticket, please.
I changed my mind.
I decided...
God. He told me.
He has different plans.
God told you not to park here?
No, no, no.
I know what I have to do now.
I didn't before.
Well, sir, I gotta...
It's $2
for the first 30 minutes, so...
- Son, you go to church?
- Yes, sir.
Then open the goddamn gate.
Your Lord demands it.

Two-faced.
What's that?
Oh.
When someone's a liar,
that's what you...
you say.
He's two-faced.
Like, he's got one face
for telling the truth
and another for...
I guess that's what bothers me
the most, you know?
Not the violence
and the murders and all?
Well, of course that.
I mean...

When a dog goes rabid, right,
there's no mistaking it
for a normal dog.
Here we are,

To be better, you know?
Must be hard to live in
