580. Say, Chief, listen, I been thinkingCopy !req
581. about that fella in the
snow with the underpants?Copy !req
582. - Mm-hmm?
- Something odd about that.Copy !req
583. You're saying other than the factCopy !req
584. - that he was just wearing panties?
- Yeah.Copy !req
585. See, we know from the wreck
that whoever was drivingCopy !req
586. cracked their head on
the steering wheel, right?Copy !req
587. - But the fella in the snow...
- No head injury.Copy !req
588. - Yeah. So you see...
- That's some goodCopy !req
589. - police work there, Deputy.
- Oh, thanks.Copy !req
590. But if he's not the driver,
I guess we gotta ask...Copy !req
591. Who is he?Copy !req
592. Ran his prints. Nothing.Copy !req
593. Plus, turns out the car was stolen.Copy !req
594. - Oh, yeah?
- Yeah, yeah, over in Grand Forks.Copy !req
595. I called the local pd. I'm
just waiting on a callback.Copy !req
596. Any thoughts there on Hess?Copy !req
597. Uh, no, not as such.Copy !req
598. The, um... lady that Hess was with?Copy !req
599. Didn't get a good look
at the fella killed himCopy !req
600. on account of all the
blood in her eyes, but, um,Copy !req
601. you know, we're checking
the knife for prints.Copy !req
602. Oh, also, Bill's going
around to local stores,Copy !req
603. see if maybe the knife
was bought here in Bemidji.Copy !req
604. You'll make a good chief one day.Copy !req
605. Me?Copy !req
606. What about Bill? He's got seniority.Copy !req
607. Bill cleans his gun with bubble bath.Copy !req
608. No, it'll be you.Copy !req
609. If you want.Copy !req
610. When you talk to the
police, just keep it simple.Copy !req
611. "Thanks, but no thanks," in other words.Copy !req
612. I've already talked to Fargo,Copy !req
613. and they want to deal with this themselves.Copy !req
614. They're sending guys.Copy !req
615. Deal with what? He was in a whorehouse.Copy !req
616. Glad he's dead.Copy !req
617. Ma, don't talk like that.Copy !req
618. Yeah, ma, don't talk like that.Copy !req

620. and then he's got the nerve to...Copy !req
621. I'm not kidding.Copy !req
622. I'm gonna sing at his funeral.Copy !req
623. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
624. Mr. Mickey, you have a phone call.Copy !req
625. She said me, you doofus.Copy !req
626. - Can I come?

627. Jeez! Just stay here with ma.Copy !req
628. - Hello?

631. I'd like to say how
sorry I am for your loss.Copy !req
632. Okay.Copy !req
633. Next thing isCopy !req
634. I'm responsible for overseeingCopy !req
635. the dispersal of your dad's vast estate.Copy !req
636. - You mean the money?
- Right.Copy !req
637. Money, real estate, holdings,Copy !req
638. automobiles and, uh...Copy !req
639. Well, there's no delicate way to put this.Copy !req
640. The will was very clear.Copy !req
641. Your dad decided to give everythingCopy !req
642. to your younger brother Moe.Copy !req
643. - Are you kidding?
- I know it's hard to hear.Copy !req
644. But the will was very specific.Copy !req
645. "I leave the entirety of my vast estateCopy !req
646. to my second-bornCopy !req
647. and favorite son Moe."Copy !req
648. That's sweet.Copy !req

650. Anyway, that's it.Copy !req
651. Once again, I'm sorry for your loss.Copy !req
652. If you have any questions,Copy !req

654. (Vern) Well, like I said, Mrs. Hess,Copy !req
655. we're checking some things on our end,Copy !req
656. but if there's anything you could tell usCopy !req
657. - about your husband's business...
- Appreciate the visit, Chief,Copy !req
658. but Mrs. Hess had no kind of
involvement with Sam's business.Copy !req
659. Frankly, she's mystified,Copy !req
660. her husband being a pillar
of the community and all.Copy !req
661. I mean, heck,Copy !req
662. voted Bemidji businessman
of the year, 1996 and '98.Copy !req
663. - Who was it?Copy !req
664. - (Vern) Yah.
- Like I said, it's a puzzler.Copy !req
665. Course, we both know some of your boysCopy !req
666. have had run-ins with
the law in the past...Copy !req
667. stolen merchandise charges and the like.Copy !req
668. And, you know, the staties had that caseCopy !req
669. as to maybe your outfit's got
ties to that crime syndicateCopy !req
670. - out of Fargo.
- Whoa, wh...Copy !req
671. You're gonna stand here...
let me get this straight.Copy !req
672. You're gonna stand here and
call the victim a criminalCopy !req
673. in front of his wife, his kids?Copy !req
674. Well, no, no one's
calling anyone a criminal.Copy !req
675. Just trying to figure out what happened.Copy !req
676. Chief! 217! 217!Copy !req
677. Uhh! Ugh!Copy !req
678. Don't need me to tell you
it was a cold one out there.Copy !req
679. And as of right now,
nothing much has changed.Copy !req
680. So let's take a look at where we are...Copy !req
681. What the heck...Copy !req
682. We got 5 degrees in Duluth...Copy !req
683. - Hey, Lester.
- Oh, hiya, Bo.Copy !req
684. Jeez, what happened to your face there?Copy !req
685. You know that spot near the fire station?Copy !req
686. - Where they wash the trucks?
- Yep. Slipped on the ice.Copy !req
687. Oofta.Copy !req
688. Say, Lester, I need you to
pull the file on Sam Hess.Copy !req
689. On... who now?Copy !req
690. Sam Hess, you know,Copy !req
691. owns the truck depot over on winslow.Copy !req
692. You know, big fella?Copy !req
693. Yeah, well, he's dead.Copy !req
694. - Oh, yeah?
- Yeah, shame.Copy !req
695. It's a big policy.Copy !req
696. Murder, they're saying.Copy !req
697. Stabbed to death is what I heard.Copy !req
698. You okay there, Lester?Copy !req
699. Sure. Uh...Copy !req
700. Sure. Y... you know I went
to high school with him?Copy !req
701. You don't say. Well, anyway,Copy !req
702. I need you to pull the policy on that.Copy !req
703. I have to get on the
phone with his wife later.Copy !req
704. Uh...Copy !req
705. Did you...Copy !req
706. Jeez.Copy !req
707. Did you really kill him? Sam?Copy !req
708. Oh, my God.Copy !req
709. Is Sam dead?Copy !req
710. How do you feel about that?Copy !req
711. Well, I mean...Copy !req
712. of course, it's,Copy !req
713. you know, a tragedy.Copy !req
714. Well, why'd you kill him then?Copy !req
715. Now hold on a second!Copy !req
716. I never...Copy !req
717. Well, actually, you did.Copy !req
718. Remember, yes or no?Copy !req
719. - I never said yes.
- Didn't say no.Copy !req
720. No. That won't... come on.Copy !req
721. That won't... in a court of law...Copy !req
722. Who said anything about a court of law?Copy !req
723. I just mea...Copy !req
724. I... jeez.Copy !req
725. And he had a wife, you
know, and those boys.Copy !req
726. Lester, he put you in a barrelCopy !req
727. and rolled you in the road.Copy !req
728. Your problem is you spent your whole lifeCopy !req
729. thinking there are rules.Copy !req
730. There aren't.Copy !req
731. We used to be gorillas.Copy !req
732. All we had is what we
could take and defend.Copy !req
733. The truth is, you're more of a man todayCopy !req
734. than you were yesterday.Copy !req
735. How do you figure?Copy !req
736. It's a red tide, Lester,Copy !req
737. this life of ours.Copy !req
738. The shit they make us eat...Copy !req
739. day after day, the boss,
the wife, et cetera,Copy !req
740. wearing us down.Copy !req
741. If you don't stand up to it,Copy !req

743. deep down where it counts,Copy !req
744. you're just gonna get washed away.Copy !req

760. and pick up some different shades,Copy !req
761. and we'll figure it out tonight?Copy !req
762. We're having a baby, Vern.Copy !req

any head injuries lately...Copy !req
779. you know, my theory about
the driver and the wreck...Copy !req
780. and she says they did, yesterday.Copy !req
781. Real peculiar fella,
she says. Real intense.Copy !req
782. And here's where it gets interesting.Copy !req
783. 'Cause she says the
fella with the head injuryCopy !req
784. was talking to another
fella about Sam Hess.Copy !req
785. - Oh, yeah?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
786. Says the two was thick as thieves.Copy !req
787. So suddenly I'm thinking,Copy !req
788. maybe these two cases,
maybe they're connected, huh?Copy !req
789. Could be.Copy !req
790. She say who the other fellow was?Copy !req
791. Uh, Lester Nygaard.Copy !req

803. You sure you know what you're doing?Copy !req
804. Seems pretty straightforward.Copy !req
805. So wanna give her a try?Copy !req
806. - There's nothing in it.
- Oh.Copy !req
807. For... for a test, I'm saying.Copy !req
808. Turn it off.Copy !req
809. Turn it off!Copy !req
810. You killed it.Copy !req
811. - You killed my washing machine.

814. I... I was, um, standing up to the...Copy !req
815. I was...Copy !req
816. I was being a man.Copy !req
817. But you're not a man, Lester.Copy !req
818. You're not even half a man.Copy !req
819. Honestly, I don't know what

820. My mom said, "don't do it, Pearl."Copy !req
821. She said, "he's the kind of
boy that loses all the time."Copy !req
822. "And you know what those
boys grow up to be, don't ya?Copy !req
823. Losers."Copy !req
824. Take that back.Copy !req
825. Or what?Copy !req

when we're having sex.Copy !req
828. Now, hold on! That is you not facing me!Copy !req
829. That's so I can picture a real man.Copy !req
830. Oh!Copy !req
