1. Oh, yeah,
you want Gold...
Copy !req
2. Uh, Max Gold.
He's on his way.
Copy !req
3. You Gold?
Copy !req
4. Yeah.
And you're...
Copy !req
5. We're from Fargo.
Copy !req
6. Good. They, uh, said they
were sending someone.
Copy !req
7. They were right.
Copy !req
8. There's no library
in this town.
Copy !req
9. Why is there no
library in this town?
Copy !req
10. Uh, cutbacks?
Copy !req
11. He thinks every town
should have a library.
Copy !req
12. I agree.
Copy !req
13. Tell him I agree.
Copy !req
14. Fargo sent us to find out
what happened to Hess.
Copy !req
15. He got stabbed in
the back of the head
Copy !req
16. at a strip club is
what happened to him.
Copy !req
17. Okay.
Copy !req
18. Okay. Okay,
all right.
Copy !req
19. Do you believe this was
connected to the business?
Copy !req
20. I...
Copy !req
21. Things have been quiet.
Copy !req
22. No labor BS, no skirmishes
with other trucking concerns.
Copy !req
23. So?
Copy !req
24. There was a guy.
Copy !req
25. I told this to Fargo.
Copy !req
26. He came by the garage
the day it happened.
Copy !req
27. Brown hair, just under 6
feet, not young, not old,
Copy !req
28. had a cut on
his forehead here.
Copy !req
29. Said he just wanted to take a look
at Sam, which he did, then he left.
Copy !req
30. Look...
Copy !req
31. Hold on a second.
Copy !req
32. He was my
friend, okay?
Copy !req
33. Sam.
Copy !req
34. Sure, he was a jerk,
but deep down...
Copy !req
35. All I'm saying is, you're
gonna find him, right?
Copy !req
36. The guy who did it.
Copy !req
37. We'll find him.
Copy !req
38. How's your
head, then?
Copy !req
39. Oh, yeah, it's okay.
Copy !req
40. Aches still, but...
Copy !req
41. You try that hot dish? Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
42. Real good.
Yeah.
Copy !req
43. So, you know...
Kitty and I were talking
Copy !req
44. and we think you should
move in here for a while.
Copy !req
45. Just stay with us,
you know,
Copy !req
46. until you get the house
cleaned up or sold.
Copy !req
47. Why the heck
would I sell the house?
Copy !req
48. Oh.
Copy !req
49. Not saying you
have to go that way.
Copy !req
50. Just, you know,
stay a few days,
Copy !req
51. until we get
it cleaned up.
Copy !req
52. Cops left a real mess.
Copy !req
53. Oh, yeah? Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
54. Yeah, the crime
scene and all.
Copy !req
55. Really turned
the place upside down.
Copy !req
56. Looking for clues,
I suppose.
Copy !req
57. How you doing?
You all right? Okay.
Copy !req
58. You don't have
to do that.
Copy !req
59. They were piling up.
Copy !req
60. Vern told me
this story once.
Copy !req
61. When he was a rookie,
Copy !req
62. he had a boss who couldn't
tell his shoe from his foot.
Copy !req
63. Got killed by
a hail stone.
Copy !req
64. Just standing in the parking
lot at the Dairy Queen,
Copy !req
65. having a milkshake.
Copy !req
66. Hail stone comes down, size of
a softball, crushes his skull.
Copy !req
67. What flavor?
Copy !req
68. Strawberry, I think.
Copy !req
69. I was thinking about
when my dad got shot.
Copy !req
70. Traffic stop, yeah? Mmm. Yeah.
Copy !req
71. He pulled over
the fellas
Copy !req
72. that robbed Callahan's and stole
the snow plow.
Copy !req
73. They came to
tell me at school.
Copy !req
74. I was in algebra.
Copy !req
75. And he's okay,
you know?
Copy !req
76. Got the limp, of course, but,
uh, they caught the guys, so...
Copy !req
77. The little one
he even got probation.
Copy !req
78. Convinced the jury it was a
Stockholm syndrome deal.
Copy !req
79. Okay, we got now a list of who
will come by when and do what.
Copy !req
80. This is on the due
date, you know?
Copy !req
81. Get you to the hospital, bring
you home, so, you're covered.
Copy !req
82. Say, Bill,
I was thinking.
Copy !req
83. We should talk to Lester
Nygaard first thing.
Copy !req
84. Lester? Ugh.
Copy !req
85. He already made a statement
back at the hospital.
Copy !req
86. Yeah, I know.
I read it.
Copy !req
87. But, see, thing is,
Copy !req
88. Vern was on his way
to Lester's house
Copy !req
89. to talk to him
about Hess' murder,
Copy !req
90. you know, how possibly
Lester was involved.
Copy !req
91. Lester?
Copy !req
92. Ah.
Copy !req
93. Went to high school
with Lester. Uh...
Copy !req
94. Had to dissect a mouse
in Mrs. Knutson's class
Copy !req
95. and poor Lester fainted.
Copy !req
96. Well, yeah,
okay, but...
Copy !req
97. Girl had her monthly
once in gym class.
Copy !req
98. There goes Lester
fainting again.
Copy !req
99. Right, so he... he doesn't
like blood, but still...
Copy !req
100. Plus,
this Hess murder,
Copy !req
101. got to believe that's about the
cutthroat world of regional trucking.
Copy !req
102. Yeah.
Copy !req
103. So it's, uh, just
coincidence, you're saying?
Copy !req
104. Hess gets killed
and then,
Copy !req
105. the massacre at Lester's
house the next day.
Copy !req
106. Exactly.
Copy !req
107. See, I'm thinking
this is home invasion.
Copy !req
108. You know, it's a
drifter or some such.
Copy !req
109. Drug related, maybe, but not,
you know, Lester Nygaard.
Copy !req
110. Am I right, Ida?
Copy !req
111. You're not not right.
Copy !req
112. But, on these
high-profile deals, Bill,
Copy !req
113. it never hurts to talk to
the eyewitnesses yourself.
Copy !req
114. "Take control
of the facts."
Copy !req
115. That's what Vern
always used to say.
Copy !req
116. Okay. Okay, good.
Copy !req
117. We go see Lester,
Copy !req
118. but, I do the talking.
Copy !req
119. Heya, Lester.
Bill.
Copy !req
120. Mr. Nygaard, uh, we got
some questions we'd like...
Copy !req
121. This is Molly.
Deputy Solverson.
Copy !req
122. Sure. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
123. Like I was saying, uh, we
got some questions, so...
Copy !req
124. How you holding up, Lester?
How's the head?
Copy !req
125. Oh. Yeah.
Yeah, it hurts.
Copy !req
126. Uh, I got a little,
double vision still.
Copy !req
127. Jeez, well, you know,
if now's not a good time...
Copy !req
128. No, no,
I was just about to...
Copy !req
129. I want to help, you know? It's
just there's so much work to do.
Copy !req
130. Yeah, sure. It'll
only take a second.
Copy !req
131. Oh.
Copy !req
132. All I got is grape juice.
Hope that's okay. Ugh.
Copy !req
133. Pearl says it reminds her
of being a kid.
Copy !req
134. Said.
Copy !req
135. Uh, remember that gum.
Copy !req
136. That grape gum that they
had when we were kids?
Copy !req
137. Heck, what was
that called?
Copy !req
138. Uh, so we got your statement
from the hospital.
Copy !req
139. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
140. Yeah, I... I was real
thorough with those fellas.
Copy !req
141. I... I mean,
what I could remember.
Copy !req
142. Doctor says
I got a concussion.
Copy !req
143. Says if I was hit
any harder,
Copy !req
144. my brain could've swoll up
and leaked right out my ears.
Copy !req
145. Oh!
Copy !req
146. Thank gosh
that didn't happen.
Copy !req
147. Uh, in your statement,
you said that, um,
Copy !req
148. you came home and found
your wife, that...
Copy !req
149. that she was
already dead.
Copy !req
150. Uh, downstairs, yeah.
Copy !req
151. I heard the washer going...
Copy !req
152. spin cycle...
and I...
Copy !req
153. Well, you know, she...
she was on the floor,
Copy !req
154. you know, and there
was a lot of...
Copy !req
155. I never even
heard the guy.
Copy !req
156. Uh, just one minute I'm,
uh, looking at her...
Copy !req
157. and the next...
Copy !req
158. So, uh, you don't remember Chief
Thurman coming to the house then?
Copy !req
159. Oh, no, no. I feel sick
about that, really.
Copy !req
160. I guess he saw
the guy breaking in.
Copy !req
161. Uh, no, Mr. Nygaard.
Uh...
Copy !req
162. Chief Thurman
came to talk to you
Copy !req
163. about a man you may have met in the
emergency room the day previous.
Copy !req
164. Hmm, you don't say.
Copy !req
165. Look, Lester,
Copy !req
166. if this is too
hard for you,
Copy !req
167. you can just give us
the bare bones...
Copy !req
168. We got a witness
says that, uh...
Copy !req
169. she saw you and this other
fella arguing about Sam Hess.
Copy !req
170. Who?
Copy !req
171. Sam Hess.
Copy !req
172. You remember Sam. He used
to beat you up in high school.
Copy !req
173. What?
Copy !req
174. Oh, yeah, Sam had a thing
for o" Lester here.
Copy !req
175. Used to chase him
around the schoolyard
Copy !req
176. till one or the other
ran out of gas.
Copy !req
177. You remember...
big kid. Uh...
Copy !req
178. What was that name he called you?
Lester Nig...
Copy !req
179. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Sam.
Copy !req
180. Yeah.
Copy !req
181. That... that was a long time ago.
Oh...
Copy !req
182. But,
Copy !req
183. you were talking about him
in the emergency room,
Copy !req
184. so what's the story there?
Copy !req
185. Well, I, uh...
Copy !req
186. Hmm, it's real fuzzy, but
I might have said, uh,
Copy !req
187. "My face is a mess."
Copy !req
188. Mess sounds like Hess,
so probably your, uh,
Copy !req
189. the witness just misheard.
Copy !req
190. Yeah, that's possible.
Copy !req
191. Can you describe
the fella?
Copy !req
192. Height, eye color,
that kind of thing?
Copy !req
193. You know, the last few
days, they're real fuzzy.
Copy !req
194. Reason we asks is, we got
an operating theory, okay?
Copy !req
195. This being the work of a drifter...
or drifters...
Copy !req
196. possibly drug-related.
Copy !req
197. See... I'm thinking
this fella you met at the hospital...
Copy !req
198. maybe he followed you home...
That's not...
Copy !req
199. We don't both...
share that theory. So...
Copy !req
200. No, but... Yeah.
Copy !req
201. I... I'm a little scrambled
right now.
Copy !req
202. Uh, I... I got a concussion.
I'm not sure if I said that.
Copy !req
203. So, uh,
yeah, things...
Copy !req
204. things are
kind of fuzzy.
Copy !req
205. Well, you know what?
Copy !req
206. I'm satisfied.
Copy !req
207. I've actually... I got a
few more questions...
Copy !req
208. Yeah. Thanks for the grape
juice, Lester. Uh...
Copy !req
209. Takes me back,
I tell you.
Copy !req
210. And, uh,
I'm gonna
Copy !req
211. look up the name of that
gum when I get home.
Copy !req
212. Hubba Bubba.
Copy !req
213. Hubba Bubba,
yeah, yeah, Hubba Bubba.
Copy !req
214. We used to
crack up about that.
Copy !req
215. Do you remember
Hubba Bubba?
Copy !req
216. No.
Copy !req
217. If you need anything,
Lester, you give us a call.
Copy !req
218. 'Cause I'll tell you what,
this is a tragedy.
Copy !req
219. Straight-up,
dyed-in-the-wool tragedy.
Copy !req
220. She was a good woman,
you know.
Copy !req
221. Good wife.
Copy !req
222. I... I just
keep asking myself...
Copy !req
223. "Who could've done
a thing like this?"
Copy !req
224. Good morning,
young fella.
Copy !req
225. You have a package
for me?
Copy !req
226. All righty,
what's your name?
Copy !req
227. Why?
Copy !req
228. So I can find
the package.
Copy !req
229. Duluth.
Copy !req
230. I'm sorry?
Copy !req
231. The package is
addressed to "Duluth."
Copy !req
232. Eh, that's a city.
I need your name.
Copy !req
233. I told you my name.
Copy !req
234. Your name's Duluth?
Copy !req
235. Well, I'll need
to see some ID.
Copy !req
236. No.
Copy !req
237. What?
Copy !req
238. You heard me.
Copy !req
239. Well, I can't give you your
mail if you don't show ID.
Copy !req
240. Sure you can.
Copy !req
241. All you gotta do is look through
those packages over there,
Copy !req
242. find the one addressed to
"Duluth" and then hand it to me.
Copy !req
243. Look, son,
we're in Duluth,
Copy !req
244. so technically, all the mail
is addressed to "Duluth."
Copy !req
245. Am I gonna need to come back
there and find it myself?
Copy !req
246. Sir?
Copy !req
247. Okay.
Copy !req
248. This is highly irregular.
Copy !req
249. No, highly irregular
is the time
Copy !req
250. I found a human foot
in a toaster oven.
Copy !req
251. This is just odd.
Copy !req
252. Uh.
Copy !req
253. I'm a minister, apparently.
Copy !req
254. Sir?
Copy !req
255. You have a blessed day. Mmm.
Copy !req
256. Missed a spot.
Copy !req
257. You're looking at the
Supermarket King of Minnesota,
Copy !req
258. La Mercado Rey.
Copy !req
259. Twenty-nine markets
in 15 counties...
Copy !req
260. and it all started right
here, in this office.
Copy !req
261. Next quarter, we're expanding
into Wisconsin and the Dakotas.
Copy !req
262. By this time
next year,
Copy !req
263. I'll rule the whole
goddamn Midwest.
Copy !req
264. You see my mangoes?
Copy !req
265. Straight from Ecuador.
Kiwis, too.
Copy !req
266. That's what makes my stores
so goddamn superior.
Copy !req
267. I got mangoes in
goddamn January...
Copy !req
268. and the back of
a 90-year-old woman.
Copy !req
269. God damn it.
Copy !req
270. Who's the fire hydrant?
Copy !req
271. Semenko,
Copy !req
272. head of security.
Copy !req
273. You an Oilers fan?
Copy !req
274. Wally here is 1992
Farm League MVP.
Copy !req
275. Knocked 138 heads
career-wise.
Copy !req
276. Ain't that right, Wally?
Copy !req
277. Our mutual friend said something
about a blackmail letter?
Copy !req
278. Found this on my
windshield last week.
Copy !req
279. What does this mean,
"I know about the money"?
Copy !req
280. What it means
don't matter.
Copy !req
281. It's blackmail.
Copy !req
282. I didn't bring you here
for what it means.
Copy !req
283. I brought you here
to make it stop.
Copy !req
284. Semenko said, "Don't
do it." He said...
Copy !req
285. he said,
"Let me handle it."
Copy !req
286. But you don't get
to be La Mercado Rey
Copy !req
287. without knowing
when to delegate.
Copy !req
288. That's a pretty specific
number, $43,613.
Copy !req
289. Hell, maybe he wants to pay
off his student loans.
Copy !req
290. I don't know. What matters
is, can you find the guy?
Copy !req
291. Hey, Dad, got a
good one for you.
Copy !req
292. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
293. Don't you know closed door
means "keep out," boy,
Copy !req
294. or at least knock,
for shit's sake?
Copy !req
295. You'll like this.
Copy !req
296. What's a karate expert's
favorite beverage?
Copy !req
297. Kara-tea.
Copy !req
298. Get it?
Copy !req
299. Kara-tea.
Copy !req
300. It's... it's tea.
Copy !req
301. Son, get the hell out.
Copy !req
302. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
303. Look, I can find the guy.
Copy !req
304. The question is,
Copy !req
305. what do you want done
with him once he's found?
Copy !req
306. Send him packing.
Isn't that what they say?
Copy !req
307. Who says that?
Copy !req
308. In the movies.
Copy !req
309. I don't watch movies.
Copy !req
310. You don't watch movies?
Copy !req
311. Look...
this ain't complicated.
Copy !req
312. You don't get to be the
Supermarket King of Minnesota
Copy !req
313. without making a few
enemies, all right?
Copy !req
314. Start with my damn wife.
Copy !req
315. You think your wife's
blackmailing you?
Copy !req
316. You ever nail
a Greek woman?
Copy !req
317. After 40,
their pussies grow teeth.
Copy !req
318. And she ain't my wife.
Copy !req
319. She's my
soon-to-be ex-wife,
Copy !req
320. and she is suing
me for 50%.
Copy !req
321. Except now,
I'm starting to think
Copy !req
322. maybe 50% ain't
enough for her.
Copy !req
323. This is kind of
embarrassing, but, uh,
Copy !req
324. would you sign
a copy of my book?
Copy !req
325. I'd be delighted.
Copy !req
326. You, uh, you want
something personal?
Copy !req
327. Yeah, could you put,
"To Frank Peterson,
Copy !req
328. "thanks for nailing
my blackmailer."
Copy !req
329. I'm just kidding. Anything you want.
You're the writer.
Copy !req
330. In addition to the victims
in the basement,
Copy !req
331. that's Nygaard,
Mr. and Mrs.,
Copy !req
332. we're hearing
the chief of police
Copy !req
333. was shot-gunned
in the foyer.
Copy !req
334. That means entryway.
Copy !req
335. No description yet of the
suspect or suspects,
Copy !req
336. but I told the new chief
over in Bemidji
Copy !req
337. we'd be on high alert
for anything that connects.
Copy !req
338. That means
suspicious persons
Copy !req
339. or jailhouse snitches
saying they know a thing.
Copy !req
340. Okay, let's get to it.
Copy !req
341. Grimly.
Copy !req
342. Animal Control guy called in sick again.
You're on duty.
Copy !req
343. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
344. I got "aurora
borealis." What about you? Over.
Copy !req
345. I just put
"northern lights." Over.
Copy !req
346. Um, my dad's home
with dinner. Over.
Copy !req
347. What's it tonight?
Over.
Copy !req
348. It looks like
burgers. Over.
Copy !req
349. And chicken nuggets.
Copy !req
350. And chicken nuggets.
Over and out.
Copy !req
351. You get
the dipping sauces?
Copy !req
352. Extra, even.
Copy !req
353. Oh.
Copy !req
354. Good day?
Copy !req
355. Yeah.
Copy !req
356. We, um,
we had an assembly...
Copy !req
357. and the principal talked about
bullying and how bullying was wrong
Copy !req
358. and if we saw
somebody getting bullied,
Copy !req
359. we should say
something or stop it.
Copy !req
360. And I raised my hand,
Copy !req
361. and I asked what
you're supposed to do
Copy !req
362. if the bully is, like,
a lot bigger than you
Copy !req
363. or has a knife
or something.
Copy !req
364. And what did he say?
Copy !req
365. He said if the bully
has a knife, then,
Copy !req
366. you should tell
a grown-up.
Copy !req
367. Well, that's good advice.
Copy !req
368. Yeah, but,
what if there's no time?
Copy !req
369. I mean,
you're the police.
Copy !req
370. If you saw somebody doing
something, you'd stop 'em, right?
Copy !req
371. Well, you know,
Copy !req
372. sometimes there's more
than one right thing.
Copy !req
373. What does that mean?
Copy !req
374. It means,
Copy !req
375. I got you, and lam
responsible for you...
Copy !req
376. and sometimes,
Copy !req
377. I might be in
a situation where,
Copy !req
378. and this hasn't happened
and it won't,
Copy !req
379. but a situation where...
Copy !req
380. if I try to stop a guy
from doing a bad thing,
Copy !req
381. I could get hurt,
Copy !req
382. or worse.
Copy !req
383. And then, who would
take care of you?
Copy !req
384. But it's your job.
Copy !req
385. Well, I got two jobs,
Copy !req
386. and the first, the most
important, is being your dad.
Copy !req
387. Well, if I saw somebody
doing something...
Copy !req
388. I would stop 'em.
Copy !req
389. I believe you would.
Copy !req
390. Every cooperation,
obviously.
Copy !req
391. If you want the girl, if
you want drug, just ask.
Copy !req
392. You know who we are.
Copy !req
393. I told the police,
Copy !req
394. I couldn't see the guy on account
of the blood being in my eyes.
Copy !req
395. We got a description
of a man.
Copy !req
396. 5'10", brown hair, big
bruise on the forehead.
Copy !req
397. Does it ring
a bell at all?
Copy !req
398. Could be Lenny.
Who's Lenny?
Copy !req
399. Comes in here a lot.
Copy !req
400. Drinks pretty heavy.
Copy !req
401. I heard him say a few things over
the years about guys like Hess.
Copy !req
402. Money in the pocket,
think they're tough shit.
Copy !req
403. That's him at the bar with
the Band-Aid on his head.
Copy !req
404. Well, the Russians, they
used to send dogs up into space
Copy !req
405. which is stupid because what's
a dog gonna do in space?
Copy !req
406. At least with a monkey,
Copy !req
407. they can operate
the, uh,
Copy !req
408. the equipment
and something.
Copy !req
409. Hey, my friend would
like an orange soda
Copy !req
410. and I'll have, uh, just a cup
of hot water with lemon.
Copy !req
411. What are you supposed to
be, some kind of, uh, circus act?
Copy !req
412. Oh, my friend was wondering,
how'd you, uh, hurt your head?
Copy !req
413. Oh, is your friend
looking for a date?
Copy !req
414. 'Cause you know this is a place
for dicks who like pussies,
Copy !req
415. not pussies
who like dick.
Copy !req
416. No, seriously, how'd
you hurt your head?
Copy !req
417. Screw.
Copy !req
418. I ain't afraid of
a dink and a lepton.
Copy !req
419. You like
playing with knives?
Copy !req
420. Oh, you keep talking, big
boy, you're gonna find out.
Copy !req
421. That the guy?
Copy !req
422. Can you take off
the tape maybe?
Copy !req
423. God damn you little bastards!
I'll kill the lot of you!
Copy !req
424. Hey, now,
look, okay?
Copy !req
425. I'm sorry for what
I said to you before
Copy !req
426. about the dink
and the lepton.
Copy !req
427. I don't think it's him.
Copy !req
428. Delicious.
Just a few more.
Copy !req
429. What'd you say your name
was again, handsome?
Copy !req
430. Frank Peterson, ma'am. I work for
Mike, your divorce attorney.
Copy !req
431. Ah, charmed,
I'm sure.
Copy !req
432. Oh, sorry,
I just bronzed.
Copy !req
433. He's a pig.
Copy !req
434. You smelled his hands?
Copy !req
435. Have I smelled
your husband's hands?
Copy !req
436. They smell like feel.
Copy !req
437. Your ass looks amazing, darling.
Keep it up.
Copy !req
438. So anyway, uh,
I've been tasked
Copy !req
439. to put together a complete
record of your husband's assets.
Copy !req
440. We want to get you the biggest
divorce settlement possible.
Copy !req
441. Now, I've got your husband's net
worth estimated at $10 million?
Copy !req
442. More.
Copy !req
443. Fifteen?
Copy !req
444. Okay, sweetie, uh, let's do a
cool down, yeah? Five minutes.
Copy !req
445. There you go.
Copy !req
446. Ma'am, can you
confirm that
Copy !req
447. your husband started his first
grocery with a loan from his uncle
Copy !req
448. like it says in the book?
Copy !req
449. That's the story.
Copy !req
450. But you don't believe it?
Copy !req
451. Stavros had two uncles.
Copy !req
452. One was a drunk who lived in a barn...
Copy !req
453. and the other died in a fishing
accident when he was 10.
Copy !req
454. So where did
the money come from?
Copy !req
455. Hey, Ma.
Copy !req
456. Frank Peterson.
Copy !req
457. Oh, yeah,
from the store.
Copy !req
458. Hey, I got one
for you.
Copy !req
459. What kind of bone
will a dog never eat?
Copy !req
460. Huh.
Copy !req
461. Chicken?
Copy !req
462. A trombone.
Copy !req
463. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
464. That's a good one.
A trombone.
Copy !req
465. Oh, my dad'll
like that one.
Copy !req
466. Your dad,
your dad.
Copy !req
467. Your dad's
screwing us, mister.
Copy !req
468. Mommy.
Copy !req
469. What? I'm just
being honest.
Copy !req
470. He's a hard-on, your father,
and you're too trusting.
Copy !req
471. But he's my dad
and you're my mom
Copy !req
472. and everything's
gonna workout, okay?
Copy !req
473. Mmm.
Oh.
Copy !req
474. Aren't they just the sweetest pair?
Mmm?
Copy !req
475. Yeah, it's... it's... it's me.
it's Lester.
Copy !req
476. Uh, she's, um... My wife...
my wife, she's, uh...
Copy !req
477. Oh, hell!
Copy !req
478. Um...
Copy !req
479. I think I, uh...
Copy !req
480. She's in the basement
dead and, uh...
Copy !req
481. Look, I'm freaking out here.
I don't know what to do.
Copy !req
482. Yeah, it's... it's... it's me.
it's Lester.
Copy !req
483. Uh, she's, um... My wife...
my wife, she's, uh...
Copy !req
484. Oh, hell!
Copy !req
485. Um...
Copy !req
486. I think I, uh...
Copy !req
487. She's in the basement
dead and, uh...
Copy !req
488. Look, I'm freaking out here.
I don't know what to do.
Copy !req
489. Lester, have you
been a bad boy?
Copy !req
490. Jeez. Yeah...
Copy !req
491. Oh, sorry,
I just bronzed.
Copy !req
492. I took the
hammer and, uh...
Copy !req
493. Look, can you come over? I'm on
Willow Creek Drive, number 613.
Copy !req
494. Please! Please?
Copy !req
495. Sure, Lester.
I'll be right there.
Copy !req
496. This place is
a shithole.
Copy !req
497. Okay, nutsack,
here's the drill.
Copy !req
498. You're gonna pack up
your shit and blow.
Copy !req
499. I'll tell Stavros you
couldn't find the guy,
Copy !req
500. and in return,
I won't bust your head.
Copy !req
501. You hearing me,
asswipe?
Copy !req
502. I did some digging on you,
made some calls, you get me?
Copy !req
503. And we don't need you and
your big city connections
Copy !req
504. coming here and showing
us what time it is.
Copy !req
505. I'm the guy.
Copy !req
506. You understand? Me.
Copy !req
507. Twenty years I work
for the King.
Copy !req
508. You know what
that makes me?
Copy !req
509. The goddamn
prime minister.
Copy !req
510. So give me the letter,
pack up your shit and...
Copy !req
511. What the hell you doing?
Copy !req
512. That's disgusting.
Copy !req
513. Okay, slick.
Copy !req
514. I got your number.
I'm on to you.
Copy !req
515. Just remember,
you were warned.
Copy !req
516. Semenko warned you.
Copy !req
517. Uh, hey, Molly?
Copy !req
518. Yeah, Chief?
Copy !req
519. So, just want to make sure we're
on the same page about everything.
Copy !req
520. I want you to center it.
Copy !req
521. Same page about what?
Copy !req
522. Just about Lester
and the case, you know.
Copy !req
523. Just want to make sure you know
to focus on the break-in angle.
Copy !req
524. Maybe call some other towns, see
if they had a similar problem.
Copy !req
525. No, higher.
Copy !req
526. Similar to three murders,
including the police chief?
Copy !req
527. Not, you know,
literally.
Copy !req
528. Just ruffians
and the like.
Copy !req
529. Right there. Perfect
Copy !req
530. Look, Chief, I know
you don't think Lester...
Copy !req
531. Maybe call the Staties,
you know?
Copy !req
532. See if they effected
any car stops,
Copy !req
533. suspicious types...
Copy !req
534. where the driver had a
head wound and the like.
Copy !req
535. Yeah.
Copy !req
536. Yeah, but I think, uh,
Just...
Copy !req
537. leave poor Lester
alone, will you?
Copy !req
538. You'll be
in Gordo's room.
Copy !req
539. He's on the sofa
which is... Ha!
Copy !req
540. Don't worry. His dad built him a fort.
He loves it.
Copy !req
541. Ugh.
Copy !req
542. Baby, it's cold outside!
Brr.
Copy !req
543. But here at Phoenix Farms,
it's always summer.
Copy !req
544. Real good peas, hon.
Copy !req
545. Yeah, Mom, real good.
Copy !req
546. How's your dinner
there, Lester?
Copy !req
547. Oh, yeah.
Real good.
Copy !req
548. I was thinking of going
hunting this weekend.
Copy !req
549. Mmm-hmm. Told Gordo I
would take him shooting.
Copy !req
550. You interested?
Copy !req
551. Ah...
Now, hon, I don't think
Copy !req
552. your brother wants to be around
all that guns and violence,
Copy !req
553. not... not after
what happened.
Copy !req
554. Oh, shoot, I'm sorry.
No, no, it's fine.
Copy !req
555. I can be a real ass sometimes.
Language.
Copy !req
556. No, no, no, I...
It sounds, um...
Copy !req
557. You know, you know,
bag a deer or something.
Copy !req
558. So, I... I've been thinking, maybe I
should sell the place, you know?
Copy !req
559. Get a... What do
you call it, a fresh start?
Copy !req
560. Yeah? That's
great. Mmm.
Copy !req
561. I'll call Jimmy.
Copy !req
562. It's a fine market right now he says.
Real good.
Copy !req
563. It is the right choice,
sweetie.
Copy !req
564. Too many bad memories in
that old house. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
565. Both Chaz and me think so. Oh!
Copy !req
566. Oh, jeez!
Mmm.
Copy !req
567. Oh, I am...
I am so sorry.
Copy !req
568. It's okay.
Copy !req
569. I'm sorry.
It's fine.
Copy !req
570. Hi.
Copy !req
571. What can I
do for you, son?
Copy !req
572. Well, uh, I got a...
Copy !req
573. I need something for a wound,
I guess you'd call it.
Copy !req
574. Are we talking pain pill
or something more topical?
Copy !req
575. Well, it's...
Copy !req
576. I guess, um, something to keep
it from getting infected.
Copy !req
577. Okay, that'd be an anti-bacterial.
All right.
Copy !req
578. I got some in the back.
Copy !req
579. Mr. Nygaard?
Copy !req
580. Yeah? Ooh!
Copy !req
581. Hiya.
Hi.
Copy !req
582. Deputy Solverson again.
Copy !req
583. I just have a few more questions.
Is now a good time?
Copy !req
584. Not really. I'm kind
of in the middle of...
Copy !req
585. Sure. Yeah, no,
I understand.
Copy !req
586. Yeah, it won't
take a second.
Copy !req
587. Um, so listen, going back
to the emergency room,
Copy !req
588. that... that first visit, that was
for a broken nose, is that right?
Copy !req
589. Shoot, I...
I just remembered.
Copy !req
590. Um, sir...
Copy !req
591. You know, I...
I got to be honest.
Copy !req
592. I'm starting to
feel a little harassed here.
Copy !req
593. Now, that's not...
Copy !req
594. Sir, your unguent!
Copy !req
595. Sir!
Copy !req
596. I think he means you.
Copy !req
597. You know, you're
asking about a fella,
Copy !req
598. that I might've talked
to at the hospital,
Copy !req
599. when you should
be out there
Copy !req
600. looking for the animal
that killed my wife.
Copy !req
601. With all respect, sir, your
wife's not the only victim here.
Copy !req
602. A friend of mine
was killed,
Copy !req
603. plus, you know,
Sam Hess.
Copy !req
604. Yeah, Hold you, I haven't
seen Sam since high school.
Copy !req
605. I'm not sure this is your car, Mr.
Nygaard.
Copy !req
606. What? on, no, it's...
Copy !req
607. It's my wife's.
Copy !req
608. Mine's in the shop.
Copy !req
609. Well, sir, it's just... it's hard
to believe is all, you know?
Copy !req
610. I mean, you're saying this is all some...
some big coincidence,
Copy !req
611. you know,
you knowing Sam and all.
Copy !req
612. And it's a quiet town
Copy !req
613. and suddenly we got
four victims in 24 hours,
Copy !req
614. yourself included.
Copy !req
615. And then there's
this witness
Copy !req
616. saying that you were talking
about Sam Hess the day he died
Copy !req
617. and, you know,
then it turns out
Copy !req
618. you and he had differences
in the past, so...
Copy !req
619. You know, all I'm
saying is, just...
Copy !req
620. help me understand
what happened.
Copy !req
621. Look, I answered all your...
Just ask Bill, huh?
Copy !req
622. Your boss, he said
he was satisfied.
Copy !req
623. And I... I got...
Look at me.
Copy !req
624. My wife
Copy !req
625. is dead,
Copy !req
626. and you're harassing me.
Copy !req
627. I'm not harassing
you, sir. I...
Copy !req
628. Talk to Bill!
Copy !req
629. He'll tell you this...
this was a break-in.
Copy !req
630. You're
wasting time talking to me.
Copy !req
631. I'm...
I can't help you.
Copy !req
632. Watch your feet now.
Copy !req
633. So, how's it going?
Copy !req
634. Uh, well, it turns out Lester and
Hess went to high school together
Copy !req
635. and Hess used
to beat him up.
Copy !req
636. A learned detective
might consider that a clue.
Copy !req
637. Yeah, that's what
I said.
Copy !req
638. But Bil's a big believer
in coincidence, apparently.
Copy !req
639. Well, what he lacks in common
sense he makes up in self-esteem.
Copy !req
640. Yeah.
Copy !req
641. Bill have a theory?
Copy !req
642. Oh, yeah, he says that it
was a spree, you know?
Copy !req
643. A drifter or, quote,
gang of drifters.
Copy !req
644. You know, like it's 1942.
Copy !req
645. Like, uh, drifters are a
national threat. Hobos.
Copy !req
646. Well, he's chief now, so he sets
the agenda, same as always.
Copy !req
647. Yeah, I know. It's just...
Copy !req
648. I mean, you know, here
we get this car crash
Copy !req
649. with this dead man
in frozen panties nearby,
Copy !req
650. and the driver
has a head injury
Copy !req
651. and maybe went to
the emergency room
Copy !req
652. where he talked to Lester
about Sam Hess,
Copy !req
653. and then within 24 hours,
Hess is dead
Copy !req
654. and then there's the fracas with,
you know, Lester's wife and Vern.
Copy !req
655. Not sure
if you remember,
Copy !req
656. but when you were five,
Copy !req
657. they had to put you under
anesthesia to fix your teeth.
Copy !req
658. Gave you that mask and gas that
smelled like tutti-frutti.
Copy !req
659. Yeah.
Copy !req
660. My soft, little girl in a hard
world of drills and needles.
Copy !req
661. I'm 31, Dad.
I carry a gun.
Copy !req
662. I know,
Copy !req
663. but it's relative,
you know?
Copy !req
664. There's the kind of things a
school teacher gets exposed to,
Copy !req
665. truancy and the like,
Copy !req
666. and then there's
the stuff a cop sees,
Copy !req
667. murder and violence,
and general scofflawery,
Copy !req
668. and then there's the kind of
deal you're looking at now.
Copy !req
669. Which is?
Copy !req
670. Which is
Copy !req
671. if I'm right...
Copy !req
672. savagery, pure and simple.
Copy !req
673. Slaughter, hatred,
Copy !req
674. devils with dead eyes
and shark smiles.
Copy !req
675. One day, you're gonna get married
and have kids...
Copy !req
676. and when you
look at them,
Copy !req
677. their faces,
Copy !req
678. you need to see
what's good in the world.
Copy !req
679. 'Cause if you don't,
Copy !req
680. how you gonna live?
Copy !req
681. You talk a lot,
you know that?
Copy !req
682. It's always been a problem.
Copy !req
683. Lou.
Chief.
Copy !req
684. Molly,
could I have a word?
Copy !req
685. Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
686. Pull up a chair.
You want some coffee or...
Copy !req
687. Yeah, no, uh...
Copy !req
688. Lester Nygaard called me,
yeah, and he's super upset.
Copy !req
689. Well, yeah, you know, I
thought he might do that.
Copy !req
690. Yeah, we talked
about this and all...
Copy !req
691. and I thought we were...
Copy !req
692. I thought I was clear that we were
gonna focus on the drifter angle
Copy !req
693. and not, you know,
harass the victim.
Copy !req
694. Well, I'm not,
you know...
Copy !req
695. I didn't harass him. I just...
I got questions, you know.
Copy !req
696. Yeah, well, I'm the chief
now, and I got to...
Copy !req
697. Everyone's gotta line up behind
me, you know, toe the line.
Copy !req
698. Sure, yeah,
yeah, I know...
Copy !req
699. Yeah, we talked about this, and now
I gotta take you off the case.
Copy !req
700. Well, we all know
how you felt about Vern.
Copy !req
701. I mean, heck,
who didn't?
Copy !req
702. But, uh, maybe
it's best if you just...
Copy !req
703. And this could be good for you,
career-wise, because, uh...
Copy !req
704. I'm gonna make
you head of inquiry
Copy !req
705. on that, uh, frozen fella,
the naked one, yeah.
Copy !req
706. I'll make you
lead on that.
Copy !req
707. Bill, listen, I...
Copy !req
708. Yeah, so
that's my decision.
Copy !req
709. Take care.
What...
Copy !req
710. Well, okay, then.
Copy !req
711. See you for dinner.
Yep.
Copy !req
712. Drills and needles.
Copy !req
713. To live in an old shack
by the sea
Copy !req
714. To live with thge dawn
and the dusk
Copy !req
715. The new moon
and the full moon
Copy !req
716. The tides
the wind and the rain
Copy !req
717. To surf
and comb the beach
Copy !req
718. And gather sea shells
and driftwood
Copy !req
719. And know the thrill
of loneliness
Copy !req
720. And lose all sense of time
Copy !req
721. And be free
Copy !req
722. To hike over the island
to the village
Copy !req
723. And visit the market place
Copy !req
724. And enjoy the music and
the food and the people
Copy !req
725. And do a little trading
Copy !req
726. And see the great ships
come and go
Copy !req
727. No, wait.
Copy !req
728. And man, have me a ball
Copy !req
729. And in the evening
when the sky is on fire
Copy !req
730. Heaven and earth become
my great open cathedral
Copy !req
731. Where all men are brothers
Copy !req
732. Where all things
are bound by law
Copy !req
