1. We're here about Hess.
Ripped By mstollCopy !req
2. Oh, yeah,
you want Gold...Copy !req
3. Uh, Max Gold.
He's on his way.Copy !req
4. MR.
You Gold?Copy !req
5. Yeah.
And you're...Copy !req
6. We're from Fargo.Copy !req
7. Good. They, uh, said they
were sending someone.Copy !req
8. They were right.Copy !req
9. There's no library
in this town.Copy !req
10. Why is there no
library in this town?Copy !req
11. Uh, cutbacks?Copy !req
12. He thinks every town
should have a library.Copy !req
13. I agree.Copy !req
14. Tell him I agree.Copy !req
15. Fargo sent us to find out
what happened to Hess.Copy !req
16. He got stabbed in
the back of the headCopy !req
17. at a strip club is
what happened to him.Copy !req
18. Okay.Copy !req
19. Okay. Okay,
all right.Copy !req
20. Do you believe this was
connected to the business?Copy !req
21. I...Copy !req
22. Things have been quiet.Copy !req
23. No labor BS, no skirmishes
with other trucking concerns.Copy !req
24. So?Copy !req
25. There was a guy.Copy !req
26. I told this to Fargo.Copy !req
27. He came by the garage
the day it happened.Copy !req
28. Brown hair, just under 6
feet, not young, not old,Copy !req
29. had a cut on
his forehead here.Copy !req
30. Said he just wanted to take a look
at Sam, which he did, then he left.Copy !req
31. Look...Copy !req
32. Hold on a second.Copy !req
33. He was my
friend, okay?Copy !req
34. Sam.Copy !req
35. Sure, he was a jerk,
but deep down...Copy !req
36. All I'm saying is, you're
gonna find him, right?Copy !req
37. The guy who did it.Copy !req
38. We'll find him.Copy !req
39. How's your
head, then?Copy !req
40. Oh, yeah, it's okay.Copy !req
41. Aches still, but...Copy !req
42. You try that hot dish? Oh, yeah.Copy !req
43. Real good.
Yeah.Copy !req
44. So, you know...
Kitty and I were talkingCopy !req
45. and we think you should
move in here for a while.Copy !req
46. Just stay with us,
you know,Copy !req
47. until you get the house
cleaned up or sold.Copy !req
48. Why the heck
would I sell the house?Copy !req
49. Oh.Copy !req
50. Not saying you
have to go that way.Copy !req
51. Just, you know,
stay a few days,Copy !req
52. until we get
it cleaned up.Copy !req
53. Cops left a real mess.Copy !req
54. Oh, yeah? Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
55. Yeah, the crime
scene and all.Copy !req
56. Really turned
the place upside down.Copy !req
57. Looking for clues,
I suppose.Copy !req
58. How you doing?
You all right? Okay.Copy !req
59. You don't have
to do that.Copy !req
60. They were piling up.Copy !req
61. Vern told me
this story once.Copy !req
62. When he was a rookie,Copy !req
63. he had a boss who couldn't
tell his shoe from his foot.Copy !req
64. Got killed by
a hail stone.Copy !req
65. Just standing in the parking
lot at the Dairy Queen,Copy !req
66. having a milkshake.Copy !req
67. Hail stone comes down, size of
a softball, crushes his skull.Copy !req
68. What flavor?Copy !req
69. Strawberry, I think.Copy !req
70. I was thinking about
when my dad got shot.Copy !req
71. Traffic stop, yeah? Mmm. Yeah.Copy !req
72. He pulled over
the fellasCopy !req
73. that robbed Callahan's and stole
the snow plow.Copy !req
74. They came to
tell me at school.Copy !req
75. I was in algebra.Copy !req
76. And he's okay,
you know?Copy !req
77. Got the limp, of course, but,
uh, they caught the guys, so...Copy !req
78. The little one
he even got probation.Copy !req
79. Convinced the jury it was a
Stockholm syndrome deal.Copy !req
80. Okay, we got now a list of who
will come by when and do what.Copy !req
81. This is on the due
date, you know?Copy !req
82. Get you to the hospital, bring
you home, so, you're covered.Copy !req
83. Say, Bill,
I was thinking.Copy !req
84. We should talk to Lester
Nygaard first thing.Copy !req
85. Lester? Ugh.Copy !req
86. He already made a statement
back at the hospital.Copy !req
87. Yeah, I know.
I read it.Copy !req
88. But, see, thing is,Copy !req
89. Vern was on his way
to Lester's houseCopy !req
90. to talk to him
about Hess' murder,Copy !req
91. you know, how possibly
Lester was involved.Copy !req
92. Lester?Copy !req
93. Ah.Copy !req
94. Went to high school
with Lester. Uh...Copy !req
95. Had to dissect a mouse
in Mrs. Knutson's classCopy !req
96. and poor Lester fainted.Copy !req
97. Well, yeah,
okay, but...Copy !req
98. Girl had her monthly
once in gym class.Copy !req
99. There goes Lester
fainting again.Copy !req
100. Right, so he... he doesn't
like blood, but still...Copy !req
101. Plus,
this Hess murder,Copy !req
102. got to believe that's about the
cutthroat world of regional trucking.Copy !req
103. Yeah.Copy !req
104. So it's, uh, just
coincidence, you're saying?Copy !req
105. Hess gets killed
and then,Copy !req
106. the massacre at Lester's
house the next day.Copy !req
107. Exactly.Copy !req
108. See, I'm thinking
this is home invasion.Copy !req
109. You know, it's a
drifter or some such.Copy !req
110. Drug related, maybe, but not,
you know, Lester Nygaard.Copy !req
111. Am I right, Ida?Copy !req
112. You're not not right.Copy !req
113. But, on these
high-profile deals, Bill,Copy !req
114. it never hurts to talk to
the eyewitnesses yourself.Copy !req
115. "Take control
of the facts."Copy !req
116. That's what Vern
always used to say.Copy !req
117. Okay. Okay, good.Copy !req
118. We go see Lester,Copy !req
119. but, I do the talking.Copy !req
120. Heya, Lester.
Bill.Copy !req
121. Mr. Nygaard, uh, we got
some questions we'd like...Copy !req
122. This is Molly.
Deputy Solverson.Copy !req
123. Sure. Nice to meet you.Copy !req
124. Like I was saying, uh, we
got some questions, so...Copy !req
125. How you holding up, Lester?
How's the head?Copy !req
126. Oh. Yeah.
Yeah, it hurts.Copy !req
127. Uh, I got a little,
double vision still.Copy !req
128. Jeez, well, you know,
if now's not a good time...Copy !req
129. No, no,
I was just about to...Copy !req
130. I want to help, you know? It's
just there's so much work to do.Copy !req
131. Yeah, sure. It'll
only take a second.Copy !req
132. Oh.Copy !req
133. All I got is grape juice.
Hope that's okay. Ugh.Copy !req
134. Pearl says it reminds her
of being a kid.Copy !req
135. Said.Copy !req
136. Uh, remember that gum.Copy !req
137. That grape gum that they
had when we were kids?Copy !req
138. Heck, what was
that called?Copy !req
139. Uh, so we got your statement
from the hospital.Copy !req
140. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
141. Yeah, I... I was real
thorough with those fellas.Copy !req
142. I... I mean,
what I could remember.Copy !req
143. Doctor says
I got a concussion.Copy !req
144. Says if I was hit
any harder,Copy !req
145. my brain could've swoll up
and leaked right out my ears.Copy !req
146. Oh!Copy !req
147. Thank gosh
that didn't happen.Copy !req
148. Uh, in your statement,
you said that, um,Copy !req
149. you came home and found
your wife, that...Copy !req
150. that she was
already dead.Copy !req
151. Uh, downstairs, yeah.Copy !req
152. I heard the washer going...Copy !req
153. spin cycle...
and I...Copy !req
154. Well, you know, she...
she was on the floor,Copy !req
155. you know, and there
was a lot of...Copy !req
156. I never even
heard the guy.Copy !req
157. Uh, just one minute I'm,
uh, looking at her...Copy !req
158. and the next...Copy !req
159. So, uh, you don't remember Chief
Thurman coming to the house then?Copy !req
160. Oh, no, no. I feel sick
about that, really.Copy !req
161. I guess he saw
the guy breaking in.Copy !req
162. Uh, no, Mr. Nygaard.
Uh...Copy !req
163. Chief Thurman
came to talk to youCopy !req
164. about a man you may have met in the
emergency room the day previous.Copy !req
165. Hmm, you don't say.Copy !req
166. Look, Lester,Copy !req
167. if this is too
hard for you,Copy !req
168. you can just give us
the bare bones...Copy !req
169. We got a witness
says that, uh...Copy !req
170. she saw you and this other
fella arguing about Sam Hess.Copy !req
171. Who?Copy !req
172. Sam Hess.Copy !req
173. You remember Sam. He used
to beat you up in high school.Copy !req
174. What?Copy !req
175. Oh, yeah, Sam had a thing
for ol' Lester here.Copy !req
176. Used to chase him
around the schoolyardCopy !req
177. till one or the other
ran out of gas.Copy !req
178. You remember...
big kid. Uh...Copy !req
179. What was that name he called you?
Lester Nig...Copy !req
180. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Sam.Copy !req
181. Yeah.Copy !req
182. That... that was a long time ago.
Oh...Copy !req
183. But,Copy !req
184. you were talking about him
in the emergency room,Copy !req
185. so what's the story there?Copy !req
186. Well, I, uh...Copy !req
187. Hmm, it's real fuzzy, but
I might have said, uh,Copy !req
188. "My face is a mess."Copy !req
189. Mess sounds like Hess,
so probably your, uh,Copy !req
190. the witness just misheard.Copy !req
191. Yeah, that's possible.Copy !req
192. Can you describe
the fella?Copy !req
193. Height, eye color,
that kind of thing?Copy !req
194. You know, the last few
days, they're real fuzzy.Copy !req
195. Reason we asks is, we got
an operating theory, okay?Copy !req
196. This being the work of a drifter...
or drifters...Copy !req
197. possibly drug-related.Copy !req
198. See... I'm thinking
this fella you met at the hospital...Copy !req
199. maybe he followed you home...
That's not...Copy !req
200. We don't both...
share that theory. So...Copy !req
201. No, but... Yeah.Copy !req
202. I... I'm a little scrambled
right now.Copy !req
203. Uh, I... I got a concussion.
I'm not sure if I said that.Copy !req
204. So, uh,
yeah, things...Copy !req
205. things are
kind of fuzzy.Copy !req
206. Well,
you know what?Copy !req
207. I'm satisfied.Copy !req
208. I've actually... I got a
few more questions...Copy !req
209. Yeah. Thanks for the grape
juice, Lester. Uh...Copy !req
210. Takes me back,
I tell you.Copy !req
211. And, uh,
I'm gonnaCopy !req
212. look up the name of that
gum when I get home.Copy !req
213. Hubba Bubba.Copy !req
214. Hubba Bubba,
yeah, yeah, Hubba Bubba.Copy !req
215. We used to
crack up about that.Copy !req
216. Do you remember
Hubba Bubba?Copy !req
217. No.Copy !req
218. If you need anything,
Lester, you give us a call.Copy !req
219. 'Cause I'll tell you what,
this is a tragedy.Copy !req
220. Straight-up,
dyed-in-the-wool tragedy.Copy !req
221. She was a good woman,
you know.Copy !req
222. Good wife.Copy !req
223. I... I just
keep asking myself...Copy !req
224. "Who could've done
a thing like this?"Copy !req
225. Good morning,
young fella.Copy !req
226. You have a package
for me?Copy !req
227. All righty,
what's your name?Copy !req
228. Why?Copy !req
229. So I can find
the package.Copy !req
230. Duluth.Copy !req
231. I'm sorry?Copy !req
232. The package is
addressed to "Duluth."Copy !req
233. Eh, that's a city.
I need your name.Copy !req
234. I told you my name.Copy !req
235. Your name's Duluth?Copy !req
236. Well, I'll need
to see some ID.Copy !req
237. No.Copy !req
238. What?Copy !req
239. You heard me.Copy !req
240. Well, I can't give you your
mail if you don't show ID.Copy !req
241. Sure you can.Copy !req
242. All you gotta do is look through
those packages over there,Copy !req
243. find the one addressed to
"Duluth" and then hand it to me.Copy !req
244. Look, son,
we're in Duluth,Copy !req
245. so technically, all the mail
is addressed to "Duluth."Copy !req
246. Am I gonna need to come back
there and find it myself?Copy !req
247. Sir?Copy !req
248. Okay.Copy !req
249. This is highly irregular.Copy !req
250. No, highly irregular
is the timeCopy !req
251. I found a human foot
in a toaster oven.Copy !req
252. This is just odd.Copy !req
253. Uh.Copy !req
254. I'm a minister, apparently.Copy !req
255. Sir?Copy !req
256. You have a blessed day. Mmm.Copy !req
257. Missed a spot.Copy !req
258. You're looking at the
Supermarket King of Minnesota,Copy !req
259. La Mercado Rey.Copy !req
260. Twenty-nine markets
in 15 counties...Copy !req
261. and it all started right
here, in this office.Copy !req
262. Next quarter, we're expanding
into Wisconsin and the Dakotas.Copy !req
263. By this time
next year,Copy !req
264. I'll rule the whole
goddamn Midwest.Copy !req
265. You see my mangoes?Copy !req
266. Straight from Ecuador.
Kiwis, too.Copy !req
267. That's what makes my stores
so goddamn superior.Copy !req
268. I got mangoes in
goddamn January...Copy !req
269. and the back of
a 90-year-old woman.Copy !req
270. God damn it.Copy !req
271. Who's the fire hydrant?Copy !req
272. Semenko,Copy !req
273. head of security.Copy !req
274. You an Oilers fan?Copy !req
275. Wally here is 1992
Farm League MVP.Copy !req
276. Knocked 138 heads
career-wise.Copy !req
277. Ain't that right, Wally?Copy !req
278. Our mutual friend said something
about a blackmail letter?Copy !req
279. Found this on my
windshield last week.Copy !req
280. What does this mean,
"I know about the money"?Copy !req
281. What it means
don't matter.Copy !req
282. It's blackmail.Copy !req
283. I didn't bring you here
for what it means.Copy !req
284. I brought you here
to make it stop.Copy !req
285. Semenko said, "Don't
do it." He said...Copy !req
286. he said,
"Let me handle it."Copy !req
287. But you don't get
to be La Mercado ReyCopy !req
288. without knowing
when to delegate.Copy !req
289. That's a pretty specific
number, $43,613.Copy !req
290. Hell, maybe he wants to pay
off his student loans.Copy !req
291. I don't know. What matters
is, can you find the guy?Copy !req
292. Hey, Dad, got a
good one for you.Copy !req
293. Oh, sorry.Copy !req
294. Don't you know closed door
means "keep out," boy,Copy !req
295. or at least knock,
for shit's sake?Copy !req
296. You'll like this.Copy !req
297. What's a karate expert's
favorite beverage?Copy !req
298. Kara-tea.Copy !req
299. Get it?Copy !req
300. Kara-tea.Copy !req
301. It's... it's tea.Copy !req
302. Son, get the hell out.Copy !req
303. Nice to meet you.Copy !req
304. Look, I can find the guy.Copy !req
305. The question is,Copy !req
306. what do you want done
with him once he's found?Copy !req
307. Send him packing.
Isn't that what they say?Copy !req
308. Who says that?Copy !req
309. In the movies.Copy !req
310. I don't watch movies.Copy !req
311. You don't watch movies?Copy !req
312. Look...
this ain't complicated.Copy !req
313. You don't get to be the
Supermarket King of MinnesotaCopy !req
314. without making a few
enemies, all right?Copy !req
315. Start with my damn wife.Copy !req
316. You think your wife's
blackmailing you?Copy !req
317. You ever nail
a Greek woman?Copy !req
318. After 40,
their pussies grow teeth.Copy !req
319. And she ain't my wife.Copy !req
320. She's my
soon-to-be ex-wife,Copy !req
321. and she is suing
me for 50%.Copy !req
322. Except now,
I'm starting to thinkCopy !req
323. maybe 50% ain't
enough for her.Copy !req
324. This is kind of
embarrassing, but, uh,Copy !req
325. would you sign
a copy of my book?Copy !req
326. I'd be delighted.Copy !req
327. You, uh, you want
something personal?Copy !req
328. Yeah, could you put,
"To Frank Peterson,Copy !req
329. "thanks for nailing
my blackmailer."Copy !req
330. I'm just kidding. Anything you want.
You're the writer.Copy !req
331. In addition to the victims
in the basement,Copy !req
332. that's Nygaard,
Mr. and Mrs.,Copy !req
333. we're hearing
the chief of policeCopy !req
334. was shot-gunned
in the foyer.Copy !req
335. That means entryway.Copy !req
336. No description yet of the
suspect or suspects,Copy !req
337. but I told the new chief
over in BemidjiCopy !req
338. we'd be on high alert
for anything that connects.Copy !req
339. That means
suspicious personsCopy !req
340. or jailhouse snitches
saying they know a thing.Copy !req
341. Okay, let's get to it.Copy !req
342. Grimly.Copy !req
343. Animal Control guy called in sick again.
You're on duty.Copy !req
344. Yes, sir.Copy !req
345. I got "aurora
borealis." What about you? Over.Copy !req
346. I just put
"northern lights." Over.Copy !req
347. Um, my dad's home
with dinner. Over.Copy !req
348. What's it tonight?
Over.Copy !req
349. It looks like
burgers. Over.Copy !req
350. And chicken nuggets.Copy !req
351. And chicken nuggets.
Over and out.Copy !req
352. You get
the dipping sauces?Copy !req
353. Extra, even.Copy !req
354. Oh.Copy !req
355. Good day?Copy !req
356. Yeah.Copy !req
357. We, um,
we had an assembly...Copy !req
358. and the principal talked about
bullying and how bullying was wrongCopy !req
359. and if we saw
somebody getting bullied,Copy !req
360. we should say
something or stop it.Copy !req
361. And I raised my hand,Copy !req
362. and I asked what
you're supposed to doCopy !req
363. if the bully is, like,
a lot bigger than youCopy !req
364. or has a knife
or something.Copy !req
365. And what did he say?Copy !req
366. He said if the bully
has a knife, then,Copy !req
367. you should tell
a grown-up.Copy !req
368. Well, that's good advice.Copy !req
369. Yeah, but,
what if there's no time?Copy !req
370. I mean,
you're the police.Copy !req
371. If you saw somebody doing
something, you'd stop 'em, right?Copy !req
372. Well, you know,Copy !req
373. sometimes there's more
than one right thing.Copy !req
374. What does that mean?Copy !req
375. It means,Copy !req
376. I got you, and lam
responsible for you...Copy !req
377. and sometimes,Copy !req
378. I might be in
a situation where,Copy !req
379. and this hasn't happened
and it won't,Copy !req
380. but a situation where...Copy !req
381. if I try to stop a guy
from doing a bad thing,Copy !req
382. I could get hurt,Copy !req
383. or worse.Copy !req
384. And then, who would
take care of you?Copy !req
385. But it's your job.Copy !req
386. Well, I got two jobs,Copy !req
387. and the first, the most
important, is being your dad.Copy !req
388. Well, if I saw somebody
doing something...Copy !req
389. I would stop 'em.Copy !req
390. I believe you would.Copy !req
391. Every cooperation,
obviously.Copy !req
392. If you want the girl, if
you want drug, just ask.Copy !req
393. You know who we are.Copy !req
394. I told the police,Copy !req
395. I couldn't see the guy on account
of the blood being in my eyes.Copy !req
396. We got a description
of a man.Copy !req
397. 5'10", brown hair, big
bruise on the forehead.Copy !req
398. Does it ring
a bell at all?Copy !req
399. Could be Lenny.
Who's Lenny?Copy !req
400. Comes in here a lot.Copy !req
401. Drinks pretty heavy.Copy !req
402. I heard him say a few things over
the years about guys like Hess.Copy !req
403. Money in the pocket,
think they're tough shit.Copy !req
404. That's him at the bar with
the Band-Aid on his head.Copy !req
405. Well, the Russians, they
used to send dogs up into spaceCopy !req
406. which is stupid because what's
a dog gonna do in space?Copy !req
407. At least with a monkey,Copy !req
408. they can operate
the, uh,Copy !req
409. the equipment
and something.Copy !req
410. Hey, my friend would
like an orange sodaCopy !req
411. and I'll have, uh, just a cup
of hot water with lemon.Copy !req
412. What are you supposed to
be, some kind of, uh, circus act?Copy !req
413. Oh, my friend was wondering,
how'd you, uh, hurt your head?Copy !req
414. Oh, is your friend
looking for a date?Copy !req

484. Uh, she's, um... My wife...
my wife, she's, uh...Copy !req
485. Oh, hell!Copy !req
486. Um...Copy !req
487. I think I, uh...Copy !req
488. She's in the basement
dead and, uh...Copy !req
489. Look, I'm freaking out here.
I don't know what to do.Copy !req
490. Lester, have you
been a bad boy?Copy !req
491. Jeez. Yeah...Copy !req
492. Oh, sorry,
I just bronzed.Copy !req

Willow Creek Drive, number 613.Copy !req
495. Please! Please?Copy !req
496. Sure, Lester.
I'll be right there.Copy !req
497. This place is
a shithole.Copy !req
498. Okay, nutsack,
here's the drill.Copy !req
499. You're gonna pack up
your shit and blow.Copy !req
500. I'll tell Stavros you
couldn't find the guy,Copy !req
501. and in return,
I won't bust your head.Copy !req
502. You hearing me,
asswipe?Copy !req
503. I did some digging on you,
made some calls, you get me?Copy !req
504. And we don't need you and
your big city connectionsCopy !req
505. coming here and showing
us what time it is.Copy !req
506. I'm the guy.Copy !req
507. You understand? Me.Copy !req
508. Twenty years I work
for the King.Copy !req
509. You know what
that makes me?Copy !req
510. The goddamn
prime minister.Copy !req
511. So give me the letter,
pack up your shit and...Copy !req
512. What the hell you doing?Copy !req
513. That's disgusting.Copy !req
514. Okay, slick.Copy !req
515. I got your number.
I'm on to you.Copy !req
516. Just remember,
you were warned.Copy !req
517. Semenko warned you.Copy !req
518. Uh, hey, Molly?Copy !req
519. Yeah, Chief?Copy !req
520. So, just want to make sure we're
on the same page about everything.Copy !req
521. I want you to center it.Copy !req
522. Same page about what?Copy !req
523. Just about Lester
and the case, you know.Copy !req
524. Just want to make sure you know
to focus on the break-in angle.Copy !req
525. Maybe call some other towns, see
if they had a similar problem.Copy !req
526. No, higher.Copy !req
527. Similar to three murders,
including the police chief?Copy !req
528. Not, you know,
literally.Copy !req
529. Just ruffians
and the like.Copy !req
530. Right there. PerfectCopy !req
531. Look, Chief, I know
you don't think Lester...Copy !req
532. Maybe call the Staties,
you know?Copy !req
533. See if they effected
any car stops,Copy !req
534. suspicious types...Copy !req
535. where the driver had a
head wound and the like.Copy !req
536. Yeah.Copy !req
537. Yeah, but I think, uh,
Just...Copy !req
538. leave poor Lester
alone, will you?Copy !req
539. You'll be
in Gordo's room.Copy !req
540. He's on the sofa
which is... Ha!Copy !req
541. Don't worry. His dad built him a fort.
He loves it.Copy !req
542. Ugh.Copy !req
543. Baby, it's cold outside!
Brr.Copy !req
544. But here at Phoenix Farms,
it's always summer.Copy !req
545. Real good peas, hon.Copy !req
546. Yeah, Mom, real good.Copy !req
547. How's your dinner
there, Lester?Copy !req
548. Oh, yeah.
Real good.Copy !req
549. I was thinking of going
hunting this weekend.Copy !req
550. Mmm-hmm. Told Gordo I
would take him shooting.Copy !req
551. You interested?Copy !req
552. Ah...
Now, hon, I don't thinkCopy !req
553. your brother wants to be around
all that guns and violence,Copy !req
554. not... not after
what happened.Copy !req
555. Oh, shoot, I'm sorry.
No, no, it's fine.Copy !req
556. I can be a real ass sometimes.
Language.Copy !req
557. No, no, no, I...
It sounds, um...Copy !req
558. You know, you know,
bag a deer or something.Copy !req
559. So, I... I've been thinking, maybe I
should sell the place, you know?Copy !req
560. Get a... What do
you call it, a fresh start?Copy !req
561. Yeah? That's
great. Mmm.Copy !req
562. I'll call Jimmy.Copy !req
563. It's a fine market right now he says.
Real good.Copy !req
564. It is the right choice,
sweetie.Copy !req
565. Too many bad memories in
that old house. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
566. Both Chaz and me think so. Oh!Copy !req
567. Oh, jeez!
Mmm.Copy !req
568. Oh, I am...
I am so sorry.Copy !req
569. It's okay.Copy !req
570. I'm sorry.
It's fine.Copy !req
571. Hi.Copy !req
572. What can I
do for you, son?Copy !req
573. Well, uh, I got a...Copy !req
574. I need something for a wound,
I guess you'd call it.Copy !req
575. Are we talking pain pill
or something more topical?Copy !req
576. Well, it's...Copy !req
577. I guess, um, something to keep
it from getting infected.Copy !req
578. Okay, that'd be an anti-bacterial.
All right.Copy !req
579. I got some in the back.Copy !req
580. Mr. Nygaard?Copy !req
581. Yeah? Ooh!Copy !req
582. Hiya.
Hi.Copy !req
583. Deputy Solverson again.Copy !req
584. I just have a few more questions.
Is now a good time?Copy !req
585. Not really. I'm kind
of in the middle of...Copy !req
586. Sure. Yeah, no,
I understand.Copy !req
587. Yeah, it won't
take a second.Copy !req
588. Um, so listen, going back
to the emergency room,Copy !req
589. that... that first visit, that was
for a broken nose, is that right?Copy !req
590. Shoot, I...
I just remembered.Copy !req
591. Um, sir...Copy !req
592. You know, I...
I got to be honest.Copy !req
593. I'm starting to
feel a little harassed here.Copy !req
594. Now, that's not...Copy !req
595. Sir, your unguent!Copy !req
596. Sir!Copy !req
597. I think he means you.Copy !req
598. You know, you're
asking about a fella,Copy !req
599. that I might've talked
to at the hospital,Copy !req
600. when you should
be out thereCopy !req
601. looking for the animal
that killed my wife.Copy !req
602. With all respect, sir, your
wife's not the only victim here.Copy !req
603. A friend of mine
was killed,Copy !req
604. plus, you know,
Sam Hess.Copy !req
605. Yeah, Hold you, I haven't
seen Sam since high school.Copy !req
606. I'm not sure this is your car, Mr.
Nygaard.Copy !req
607. What? on, no, it's...Copy !req
608. It's my wife's.Copy !req
609. Mine's in the shop.Copy !req
610. Well, sir, it's just... it's hard
to believe is all, you know?Copy !req
611. I mean, you're saying this is all some...
some big coincidence,Copy !req
612. you know,
you knowing Sam and all.Copy !req
613. And it's a quiet townCopy !req
614. and suddenly we got
four victims in 24 hours,Copy !req
615. yourself included.Copy !req
616. And then there's
this witnessCopy !req
617. saying that you were talking
about Sam Hess the day he diedCopy !req
618. and, you know,
then it turns outCopy !req
619. you and he had differences
in the past, so...Copy !req
620. You know, all I'm
saying is, just...Copy !req
621. help me understand
what happened.Copy !req
622. Look, I answered all your...
Just ask Bill, huh?Copy !req
623. Your boss, he said
he was satisfied.Copy !req
624. And I... I got...
Look at me.Copy !req
625. My wifeCopy !req
626. is dead,Copy !req
627. and you're harassing me.Copy !req
628. I'm not harassing
you, sir. I...Copy !req
629. Talk to Bill!Copy !req
630. He'll tell you this...
this was a break-in.Copy !req
631. You're
wasting time talking to me.Copy !req
632. I'm...
I can't help you.Copy !req
633. Watch your feet now.Copy !req
634. So, how's it going?Copy !req
635. Uh, well, it turns out Lester and
Hess went to high school togetherCopy !req
636. and Hess used
to beat him up.Copy !req
637. A learned detective
might consider that a clue.Copy !req
638. Yeah, that's what
I said.Copy !req
639. But Bill's a big believer
in coincidence, apparently.Copy !req
640. Well, what he lacks in common
sense he makes up in self-esteem.Copy !req
641. Yeah.Copy !req
642. Bill have a theory?Copy !req
643. Oh, yeah, he says that it
was a spree, you know?Copy !req
644. A drifter or, quote,
gang of drifters.Copy !req
645. You know, like it's 1942.Copy !req
646. Like, uh, drifters are a
national threat. Hobos.Copy !req
647. Well, he's chief now, so he sets
the agenda, same as always.Copy !req
648. Yeah, I know. It's just...Copy !req
649. I mean, you know, here
we get this car crashCopy !req
650. with this dead man
in frozen panties nearby,Copy !req
651. and the driver
has a head injuryCopy !req
652. and maybe went to
the emergency roomCopy !req
653. where he talked to Lester
about Sam Hess,Copy !req
654. and then within 24 hours,
Hess is deadCopy !req
655. and then there's the fracas with,
you know, Lester's wife and Vern.Copy !req
656. Not sure
if you remember,Copy !req
657. but when you were five,Copy !req
658. they had to put you under
anesthesia to fix your teeth.Copy !req
659. Gave you that mask and gas that
smelled like tutti-frutti.Copy !req
660. Yeah.Copy !req
661. My soft, little girl in a hard
world of drills and needles.Copy !req
662. I'm 31, Dad.
I carry a gun.Copy !req
663. I know,Copy !req
664. but it's relative,
you know?Copy !req
665. There's the kind of things a
school teacher gets exposed to,Copy !req
666. truancy and the like,Copy !req
667. and then there's
the stuff a cop sees,Copy !req
668. murder and violence,
and general scofflawery,Copy !req
669. and then there's the kind of
deal you're looking at now.Copy !req
670. Which is?Copy !req
671. Which isCopy !req
672. if I'm right...Copy !req
673. savagery, pure and simple.Copy !req
674. Slaughter, hatred,Copy !req
675. devils with dead eyes
and shark smiles.Copy !req
676. One day, you're gonna get married
and have kids...Copy !req
677. and when you
look at them,Copy !req
678. their faces,Copy !req
679. you need to see
what's good in the world.Copy !req
680. 'Cause if you don't,Copy !req
681. how you gonna live?Copy !req
682. You talk a lot,
you know that?Copy !req
683. It's always been a problem.Copy !req
684. Lou.
Chief.Copy !req
685. Molly,
could I have a word?Copy !req
686. Yeah, sure.Copy !req
687. Pull up a chair.
You want some coffee or...Copy !req
688. Yeah, no, uh...Copy !req
689. Lester Nygaard called me,
yeah, and he's super upset.Copy !req
690. Well, yeah, you know, I
thought he might do that.Copy !req
691. Yeah, we talked
about this and all...Copy !req
692. and I thought we were...Copy !req
693. I thought I was clear that we were
gonna focus on the drifter angleCopy !req
694. and not, you know,
harass the victim.Copy !req
695. Well, I'm not,
you know...Copy !req
696. I didn't harass him. I just...
I got questions, you know.Copy !req
697. Yeah, well, I'm the chief
now, and I got to...Copy !req
698. Everyone's gotta line up behind
me, you know, toe the line.Copy !req
699. Sure, yeah,
yeah, I know...Copy !req
700. Yeah, we talked about this, and now
I gotta take you off the case.Copy !req
701. Well, we all know
how you felt about Vern.Copy !req
702. I mean, heck,
who didn't?Copy !req
703. But, uh, maybe
it's best if you just...Copy !req
704. And this could be good for you,
career-wise, because, uh...Copy !req
705. I'm gonna make
you head of inquiryCopy !req
706. on that, uh, frozen fella,
the naked one, yeah.Copy !req
707. I'll make you
lead on that.Copy !req
708. Bill, listen, I...Copy !req
709. Yeah, so
that's my decision.Copy !req
710. Take care.
What...Copy !req
711. Well, okay, then.Copy !req
712. See you for dinner.
Yep.Copy !req
713. Drills and needles.Copy !req
714. To live in an old shack
by the seaCopy !req
715. To live with thge dawn
and the duskCopy !req
716. The new moon
and the full moonCopy !req
717. The tides
the wind and the rainCopy !req
718. To surf
and comb the beachCopy !req
719. And gather sea shells
and driftwoodCopy !req
720. And know the thrill
of lonelinessCopy !req
721. And lose all sense of timeCopy !req
722. And be freeCopy !req
723. To hike over the island
to the villageCopy !req
724. And visit the market placeCopy !req
725. And enjoy the music and
the food and the peopleCopy !req
726. And do a little tradingCopy !req
727. And see the great ships
come and goCopy !req
728. No, wait.Copy !req
729. And man, have me a ballCopy !req
730. And in the evening
when the sky is on fireCopy !req
731. Heaven and earth become
my great open cathedralCopy !req
732. Where all men are brothersCopy !req
733. Where all things
are bound by lawCopy !req
734. And crowned with love
