Erstwhile on Fargo...
I'm not afraid of a war.
But are you with me?
We're not gonna make the first move.
But if these Kansas City mooks come at you shootin'...
we'll cut the goddamn nose off their face.
Your Indian killed him.
I didn't know that was happening.
I wanna know what they're gonna do before they do it.
Otherwise, you can die with the rest of them.
You sent my goddamn son!
The kid said it should be family that pulls the trigger,
which is true.
He's 17.
- Sheriff? - Go inside now, Peggy.
When I find ya, darlin', I'm gonna make you bleed.

And that-- there's a word for that.
It's called "managing up."
Which, if you want to rise to any kind of power
in this organization,
is something you'd better learn.
Because they'll say to you,
"Go out, do the job, and don't worry."
But, in fact, what they mean...
is talk 'em through it.
You understand?
It doesn't matter
if it's washing machines or cocaine,
whores or horseradish,
they-- the powers that be--
they need to know...

We waited.
Don't like funerals.
Nobody likes funerals.
I want to thank you boys
for coming out from Buffalo and helping us out.
We couldn't have fought them off much longer.
Forget about it.
I'm seeing cows, horses, whaddya? Chickens.
It's like wild goddamn kingdom in here.
- We got ups and downs. - Tell me.
Go see to lunch.
I'm grown. I can hear.
We got five of theirs, including Management.
But they felled Roost and Seymour.
That means South Dakota's turned.
Which Bear now tells me is where
they got the presidents' faces
up on the side of a rock.
So we should get that back.
Nothing from Hanzee?
Nothing.
Two days.
What about my dad?
Gonna need a third hole is my feelin'.
Have some respect.
My lion didn't raise that boy
to be killed by small-town muscle.
Thought that about Rye.
- Now there's nothin' left but clothes. - They're just men.
What are you sayin'?
I said, it's not like my dad's the shark in that movie--
"We're gonna need a bigger boat."
He shits and sleeps.
I swear, I thought your father was the problem--
his nature... and towards women.
But you're two of the same!
You're porcupines!
You're half crazy, always lookin' for a fight!
This family...
deserves the ground.
I got this.
Hey, porcupine?
Hey. Where are you running?
- I shouldn't have hit her. - Hey.
Hittin's the least of it.
Not enough of us left to start tellin' the truth.
Go to hell.
Last stand or make a run for it?
- Benjamin. - Floyd.
- It's funeral day. - I know.
Uh, we waited till the dirt settled, but...
now I need you to come with us.
It's me you should be takin'.
No, you're good.
Floyd?
How's my boy?
State pen-- awaitin' trial.
You should visit.
- Where's your brother? - Found Jesus.
Mm. Joined a monastery.
Mm. I just bet.

Phone.
Take a message.
You're gonna want to take this one, bro.
Prick says he knows where Dodd is.
Take a message.
Tell me one more time,
why is Floyd Gerhardt sittin' in my interview room?
Sir, uh, Trooper Solverson and myself,
we're tired of playin' clean-up--
officially.
Thought we'd apply some pressure to both sides.
Let 'em know all this killin' isn't, uh, goin' unnoticed.
What about this butcher?
We got an APB out on both Blumquists, Ed and Peggy.
So far, nothin'.
Could be on the run, could be dead.
Should've checked on that girl.
Elliot Ness himself deputized my daddy ATF
during prohibition.
Used to tell stories of Tommy-Gun bloodbaths
and heads rollin' in the road.
Never thought I'd see it in my lifetime,
but here we are.
This thing's just plumb out of control.
- What do you think? - Mm.
I think I want to live in a world
- where people leave the front door unlocked. - Yeah.
Probably we're just wastin' our breath.
Okay.
You two go see the out-of-towners.
Leave the old broad to us.
I'm gonna smoke.
Ma'am, I'm, uh, Sheriff Larsson, Rock County.
Had some differences with your oldest boy yesterday.
How'd that go for you?
Uh, let's call it a draw
on account of your Indian sucker-punched me
'fore I could make a showin'.
Yeah. He does that.
Sorry to hear about Otto.
They shot him in his own home.
These Kansas City hosenscheisser.
Children sleepin' upstairs-- savages.
My wife passed last summer.
We were up in Brainerd, visitin' my sister.
Last thing she said to me--
"Do you smell toast?"
Different roads, same destination.
I suppose.
But the question is-- for you, I mean--
how far does it go?
Husband dead, plus your youngest,
grandson in jail,
and now Dodd's missin', we hear.
Old-timers had it worse.
Used to be 10 born, 2 survived--
consumption, scalpings, smallpox, wolves.
Well, it's a question of what you can live with,
I suppose-- how many ghosts.
I-I shot a man through the teeth in Vichy, France.
I still see his face every night before bed.
Our backs to the wall.
You see that, yeah?
Yeah, except I'm the guy in the next state
who got shanghaied,
and your sons are the ones that took the drive.
The butcher of Luverne killed my boy--
on orders from Kansas City.
Oh, I've known Ed Blumquist since short pants.
If he's workin' for the Kansas City mob,
I'll-- I'll cut off my toe.
What's it they call those Russians?
Sleeper agents.
I'm sayin', you think you know someone,
but what do you know, really?
I had a kid in here the other day.
Stabbed his parents to death in their sleep.
When I asked him why, he couldn't say.
It just come over him all of a sudden.
The stories used to be simpler. That's for sure.
This, then that--
And now I don't know
where it starts or how it ends.
I truly don't.
Without bein' simplistic,
this thing's over when you say it's over.
No. They won't stop-- my boys.
They've lost too much. They're too proud.
Well, okay, then.
How about you help us out?
You know these Kansas City fellas.
Point us in the right direction there--
you know, weaknesses, indiscretions.
Give us somethin' actionable,
and maybe we make this whole, uh...
northern expansion unpalatable.
Snitch.
Well, uh... you said yourself--
hard to be simple in times of complication.

Son of a bitch.
Oh, you son of a bitch.
Yes, sir. Maybe...
"Under control" was the wrong phrase
- given what's happened. - You said--
when they killed Bulo,
you said this Gerhardt outfit was a stuffed shirt.
Now I'm standing here with blood on my socks!
- I can handle it. - The hell, you say.
Braverman stood for you,
said, "He's not like the other darkies.
This one's smart, capable."
- Sir-- - But that is not what I'm seeing.
And I appreciate the opportunity... sir,
believin', as I do,
like the good Dr. King said,
"A man should be judged on the content of his character,
not the color of his skin."
Yeah, he's dead.
You're gonna need a different quote.
I can break this family.
Two weeks.
You got two days.
Then I'm sending the undertaker.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
You son of a bitch.
You-- Aah!-- Son of a bitch!
"Freedom, that terrible word
inscribed upon the chariot of the storm."
What?
You want me to repeat it?
Is that a quote?
Maybe.
What do you want, little girl?
You were supposed to kill my dad,
not the old cripple!
- What's the difference? - What?!
To quote Louis XVI...
"Est-ce une révolte?"
"Non, sire.
C'est une révolution."
The Duke of La Rochefoucauld.
Are we gonna talk,
or are you just gonna quote the Thesaurus at me?!
I mean, if the goal is to kill those who oppress you,
what does it matter who goes first?
Because! I said!
Now, ironically, in astronomy,
the word "revolution" means
"a celestial object that comes full circle."
Did you know that?
Which, if you think about it, is pretty funny,
considering here on earth it means change.
You're nuts.
I'm talkin' about a promise!
You could've killed me shootin' up the house,
or grandma!
Unless...
- Would you say you're her favorite? - Who?!
The mater-familias.
In my experience, the first-born granddaughter,
well, she's always the shine on the apple.
Oh, God.
Help!
Unh!
Wow.
You okay there, miss?
I am now.
Walk her out, huh?
- What about you? - I'm not sayin' "Don't come back."
I'm a big girl.
You don't have to nursemaid me.
Floyd know you're here?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've seen you around up at the compound.
Seen me?
Or watched me?
I'm aware, I'm sayin',
that the last place you should be
is in a hotel room with those fellas,
especially given what's happenin'...
You won't tell, though.
Will you?
I don't... have to.
Ohh!
Ow, Jesus!
Oh, Jesus!
Oh!
If I'm going to the noose, I'm going,
but I'm done lyin' down for men.
Ohh!
Hey.
I, uh...
I just...
I was out of weed.
So I bought a dime bag from, uh, Packy.
You know, with the, uh...
Not safe around here for us.
Yeah? Wow.
No one tells me nothin'.
But I'll...
Look, I can score weed other places.
Thanks for the, uh...
Come on, I'll give you a ride.
I got my car.
Ricky will drive it back.
You two have fun, huh?
Seat belt on.
So... is this a conversation about
how it's time for me to pack up and go home?
No. Don't have to go home.
It's a big country.
Just maybe don't be here.
Are you familiar with the phrase "manifest destiny"?
Yeah, but see, here's the thing.
I own two pairs of shoes--
a summer pair and one for winter.
We're not meant to have more than we can handle,
is what I mean.
So, this need for conquest, you know,
tryin' to own things that aren't meant to be owned--
Like people?
That's an example.
But also places--
believin' we can tame things.
That's a problem, right? Not a solution.
You're saying capitalism is a problem?
No.
Greed.
Makin' this thing all or nothin'.
- What happened to you? - Hmm?
What happened?
- What happened? - Let's just get this over with, huh?
So, you got a response to my "all or nothin'" line?
Sometimes-- There's a man.
What-- what man?
Just a man.
He works in a factory.
One day, the boss gets it in his mind
that this man is stealing from him.
So, every night at the gate,
the guards search his wheelbarrow.
But they never find anything.
- Pat him down. - Oh, they do that.
Strip him naked--
nothin'.
So... he's not stealin'.
Of course he is.
Wheelbarrows.
Thank you.
That's right.
He's stealing wheelbarrows.
What?
My point is
sometimes the answer is so obvious
you can't see it because you're looking too hard.
See, we can't leave because we're the future,
and they're the past.
The past can no more become the future
than the future can become the past.
Okay. We said our piece.
Just don't be offended next time
if I don't say hello before I shoot.
- Geez! - Hmm?
Karl Weathers, that is a good way
to get yourself shot!
Your lesser half gave us a key,
asked us to look out for you and the little one
while he's gone.
Do I strike you as someone who needs lookin' after?
You do not.
But he asked, so here we are.
I'll sleep on the sofa.
Sonny's already called dibs on the floor.
- Wait, did what? - I'd give you the sofa, see, except for my back.
What's the matter with your back?
It hurts when I sleep on the floor.
Eggs are done.
Pancakes are warmin' in the oven.
You can fight me on "Are we gonna stay the night?"
Or you and the kid can grab a plate
and see why they call me "The Breakfast King of Loyola."
Any word from grandma?
I saw they took her-- the police.
She's tough, though.
It's not like they'd...
And like I said, I was just--
you know, uh...
Dodd told everybody on our side not to sell to me.
Weed, you know?
And so...
I mean, sometimes a girl
just wants to bust a nut, you know?
- How come you don't ask about Charlie? - What?
You ask about Floyd and your dad,
but not about Charlie.
Well, I mean, yeah, sure.
- How's he... - State pen waitin' for trial.
Well, we should, I mean, visit.
- Except, maybe Dodd-- - Dad.
What?
His name's not Dodd to you.
It's dad.
Bullshit!
After everything he did...
That you seen him do to me,
which you don't even want to think
- about what he does when you're not around. - Not defendin' him,
just tellin' you what he is to you.
What's he to you?
Where are we goin'?
Come.
No.
That's not...
Come.
You're scarin' me.
Stop.
He took my boy.
What?
He used his snake tongue and took him,
walked him right out the door.
That's what your dad is to me.
Look, I didn't...
It wasn't against you, what I did.
I didn't mean for--
It doesn't matter what you mean.
It's what you do.
Sleepin' with the enemy.
In France...
...after the Second War...
they shaved a lady's head for beddin' the Germans,
and they ran her out of town...
...or worse.
I can help.
They trust me.
I could-- I don't know.
I could give them information,
fake information, and you could--
- Not our way. - Yeah, but...
I mean, they're--
How many dead now? Huh?
They're kickin' our ass!
That's on you.
Your uncle...
Your own grandfather.
That's you.
No.
You... don't do that--
put this on me.
Grandma wanted to negotiate, but Dodd--
dad-- wouldn't let her.
He did this.
He made it war.
He's a snake, like you said-- a rat.
He took Charlie, not me.
I was just...
I'm the victim here!
What was I supposed to do?
Kneel down now.
Please...
It's not...
We're family.
None of us are family anymore.
Please!
Pl-please, just...
banish me.
Like you said, shave my head.
Run me out of-- I'll go!
I'll go away and never...
You don't have to.
Hush now.
It's already done.

- Guy called for you again. - What guy?
Says he knows Dodd, where he is.
What did you say?!
I told him you were out!
- Aah! - To the men here--
- They know? - No.
Shit, man, I don't-- I don't say nothin'
unless you tell me.
There's no Dodd. You hear?
Not anymore.
He calls back, this guy,
you tell him to sell that shit someplace else.
Hell, we got all the crazy we can handle.
Aah!
Kind of cold, don't you think?
What?
Nothin'.
Family business.
Not my place.
People think it's morbid, but I think it's beautiful.
"...and tried to wipe away the tears that still rolled..."
No, I got it.
- Solversons. - Yeah, it's me.
"...if you don't want us to..."
Oh, still breathin'?
- Thank God. - The boys there?
- Uh, you mean, "The King of Breakfast"? - Huh?
I don't need lookin' after, you know.
How long we been together?
Well, it's all hands on deck, hon.
You don't know how bad it is out there.
- So, tell me. - Well, I am tellin' you.
Is Karl drinkin'?
Not unless beer counts.
- How's Molly? - Short.
And...
and, uh, and Noreen-- she's still there?
Yeah, she's good.
Molly likes her, and...
and she's... helpin'.
And you, uh-- you feel okay?
Better than some, worse than others.
Well, can you rest?
How am I supposed to rest?
You keep tellin' me how bad things are.
- Ask Karl about John McCain's thumb screws. - What?
Oh, he said to tell you that if John McCain
could survive five years in Viet Cong thumb screws,
you could beat cancer.
Well... yeah, I don't know about that.
My daughter?
But... I'm tryin'.
Your dad says hi.
Say "Hi" back.
Yeah, tell her don't forget to feed my cats.
- He said to tell you, hon-- - No, yeah.
Yeah, I-I heard.
Come home soon, okay?
I will.
Everything okay?
Oh, yeah.
Well, looks like Floyd's gonna flip.
- Yeah? - It took some doin', but we convinced her
the only way this thing was gonna end up in the win column
was if she puts us in the game.
Hmm.
Okay, um, first,
I want-- I want it on the record
that this is a road of last resort.
My husband...
Second, I need assurances
that none of my children or my grandchildren
are in line for any repercussions.
This is my choice, my war.
They're just doin' what they're told.
Capital crimes excluded.
What's that supposed to mean?
Murder in the first and the like.
What's the point of the damn deal
if it doesn't cover murder?!
From this point forth, he's sayin'.
New crimes.
Now, it's time you tell us what you know.
Don't you look at me with those eyes.
None of you are mothers.
Kansas City runs most of their dope
through an outfit called Legit Trucking
out of Cincinnati.
My information is they hide it in the tires.
Here in town,
they store their gak in two different places.
There's a nail salon on Robertson
and an auto repair shop on 1st.
Um, check the air pump inside.
Also, I hear they got weapons...
stashed on the roof.
Hello?
The undertaker's coming.
You're done.
- Okay? - Yeah.
Get word to Hanzee. Tell him to come in.
- And find Dodd. - How?
Don't care how. The war's almost won.
We got to finish them while they're reelin'.
What do you think?
I think we just chose a side.
Indian shot two troopers in South Dakota.
- What-- what Indian? - Ours.
The description matches the Gerhardts' man,
- been missin'. - Uh, where?
Sioux Falls.
Witness said the, uh, the Indian shot up a bar
and that he was lookin' for a young couple--
- the man of which bein' a redhead. - Peggy and Ed.
It's South Dakota's problem, it sounds like.
Well, that's one way to think about it.
So the Indian probably-- he got away, yeah?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
One trooper dead, one clingin' to life.
Still, pursuit means they could be close, right?
Peggy and Ed holed up somewhere.
- Or on the road. - If we're lucky, yeah.
The troopers got roadblocks set up.
Then there's Dodd.
Usually, where the Indian goes, Dodd's there.
- Witness just saw the Indian. - Except, remember,
we just promised to give the Gerhardts a free pass.
You'd better run it by the Captain.
That's all I'm sayin'.
You're a shit cop. You know that, right?
- Gettin' promoted next month, so... - Ah.
...hmm, how bad could it be?
Stay, then.
Maybe we'll go see if we can save the day.
Stop it.
I'm fine.
I feel fine.
Good.
He worries too much.
Like this-- sendin' you over.
Ugh. Men!
Shut up.
He was supposed to marry my sister, you know.
- Lenore, the older. - After high school.
She used to say,
"I'm gonna marry that boy someday."
But then there was Vietnam, and he joined up,
and she never was very good at waitin'.
So he got me...
the dud.
Listen, if I was buildin' an ark,
and they said you can only take two people, man and wife,
I'd take him and you over him and her any day.
You'll look after them?
Right?
My dad will help,
but he'll need lookin' after, too,
before too long.
You got the new pills--
Xanadu.
No.
They gave me the sugar ones.
I'm pretty sure.
Tell him, if he needs to get married again,
it's okay.
Just not Rhonda Knutson.
Her eyes are too small.
They're too close together or somethin'.
It's weird.
- Listen, if John McCain could-- - Karl Weathers...
don't you be silly now.
John McCain was a fighter pilot.
I live in a starter house in Minnesota
and dream of havin' chickens one day.
Just make sure he feeds her more than jerky.
And stop drinkin', Mr. King of Breakfast.
It'll kill ya.
- Okay. - Mm-hmm.
Snowball?
Tell Simone to come see me.
I want to apologize for yesterday.
She... left in a hurry when you were took.
Don't think she's back yet.
Hey.
Sorry, missus, uh, but, uh...
What? What is it?
It's for your son, ma'am.
I'm supposed to talk to him directly.
It's okay. We'll go into the barn.
No.
No secrets here.
Well, what is it, kid? Spit it out.
Your Indian... he's on the phone--
Hanzee?
He says he found Dodd.
I'm sorry.
