# And keep your retirement #

#And your so-called
social security #

# Big city, turn me loose
and set me free... #

I'm Jerry Lundegaard.

You're Jerry Lundegaard?

Yeah.

Shep Proudfoot said...

Shep said you'd be here
at 7:30. What gives, man?

Shep said 8:30.

We've been
sitting here an hour.

He's peed
three times already.

I'm sure sorry.
Shep told me 8:30.

It was a mix-up,
I guess.

You got the car?

Yeah. You bet.

It's out in the lot there,
brand-new, burnt umber Cierra.

Yeah, okay.
Well, sit down, then.

I'm Carl Showalter.

This is my associate,
Gaear Grimsrud.

Yeah. How you doing?

So, we all set
on this thing, then?

Sure, Jerry. We're all
set. Why wouldn't we be?

Yeah, no,
I'm sure you are.

Shep vouched
for you and all.

I got every confidence
here in you fellas.

I guess that's it, then.

Here are the keys.

No,
that's not it, Jerry.

Huh?

The new vehicle
plus $40,000.

Yeah, but the deal
was the car first,

then the 40,000, like
as if it was the ransom.

I thought Shep told you.

Shep didn't
tell us much, Jerry.

Well, okay...

Except that you were
gonna be here at 7:30.

Yeah, well,
that was a mix-up, then.

Yeah, you already
said that.

Yeah, but it's not a
whole pay-in-advance deal.

See, I give you a brand-new
vehicle in advance, and then...

I'm not gonna
debate you, Jerry.

Okay.

I'm not gonna sit here
and debate.

I will say
this, though.

What Shep told us didn't
make a whole lot of sense.

Oh, no. It's real sound.
It's all worked out.

You want your own
wife kidnapped.

Yeah.

You...

My point is,

you pay the ransom,
what, 80,000 bucks?

I mean, you give us half the
ransom, 40,000, you keep half.

It's like robbing
Peter to pay Paul.

It doesn't
make any sense.

Okay, see, it's not
me paying the ransom.

The thing is,
my wife, she's wealthy.

Her dad,
he's real well-off.

Now, I'm in a bit
of trouble.

What kind of
trouble you in, Jerry?

Well, that's...
I'm not gonna get into...

See, I just need the money.

Now, her dad,
he's real well-off.

So, why don't you just
ask him for the money?

Or your fucking wife,
you know?

Or your
fucking wife, Jerry?

Well...

It's all part of this...

They don't know
I need it, see?

Okay, so there's that. And even
if they did, I wouldn't get it,

so there's that
on top, then.

See, these are
personal matters.

Personal matters?

Yeah, personal matters
that needn't...

Okay, Jerry.

You're tasking us to perform
this mission, but you won't...

You won't...

Fuck it. Let's take
a look at that Cierra.

Hon?

Hi, hon!
Welcome back!

How was Fargo?

Yeah, real good.

Dad's here.

Leads the Badgers in goal
production with five this year.

How you doing, Wade?

Yeah, pretty good.

What you
watching there?

Gophers.

Who they playing?

Ooh!

Is he staying
for supper, then?

Yeah. I think so.

Dad?
What?

Are you staying
for supper?

Yeah.

May I be
excused?

You done there?

Uh-huh.
I'm going out.

Where are you going?
Just out.

Just McDonald's.

Back at 9:30.
Okay.

He just ate.
He didn't finish.

Going to McDonald's
instead of finishing here.

He sees his friends there.
It's okay.

It's okay, McDonald's?

What do you think
they do there?

They don't drink milk
shakes, I assure you.

It's okay, Dad.

Wade, have you had
a chance to think about

that deal I was
talking about,

those 40 acres there,
in Wayzata?

You told me about it.

Yeah, you said you'd
have to think about it.

I understand.
It's a lot of money.

It's a heck of a lot. What did
you say you were gonna put there?

A lot. It's a...

I know it's a lot.

I mean a parking lot.

Well, 750,000 is a lot.

Yeah, well,
it's a chunk, but...

I had a couple lots, late
50s. Lost a lot of money.

A lot of money.
Yeah, but the difference...

I thought you were gonna
show it to Stan Grossman.

He passes on this stuff
before it gets kicked up to me.

Well, Stan'll say, "No dice. "
That's why you pay him.

I'm asking you here, Wade.

This could work out real good
for me and Jean and Scotty.

Jean and Scotty
never have to worry.

Where is Pancakes House?

What?

We stop at Pancakes House.

What are you, nuts? We
had pancakes for breakfast.

Gotta go to a place
where I can get a shot

and a beer
and a steak, maybe.

Not more fucking pancakes.
Come on.

Oh, come on, man.

Okay. Here's an idea.

We can stop
outside of Brainerd.

I know a place there where we
can get laid. What do you think?

I'm fucking
hungry now, you know.

Yeah, yeah, Jesus. I'm saying
we can stop, get pancakes,

and then we'll
get laid, all right?

Lou Diamond, ¡ine one.

We sat
right here in this room

and went over
this and over this.

Yeah, but that TruCoat...

I sat right here and said
I didn't want any TruCoat.

Yeah, but I'm saying
that TruCoat.

You don't get it,
you get oxidation problems.

It'll cost you a heck
of a lot more than $500.

You're sitting there.

You're talking
in circles.

You're talking like we
didn't go over this already.

Yeah, but this TruCoat...

We had a deal
here for 19,500.

You sat there and darned
if you didn't tell me

you'd get me this car,
these options,

without the sealant,
for 19,500.

All right,
I'm not saying I didn't.

You called me
20 minutes ago and said

you had it ready
to make delivery.

You says, "Come on down and get it. "

And here you are, and you're
wasting my time and my wife's time,

and I'm paying 19,500
for this vehicle here.

All right.

I'll talk to my boss.

See, they install that
TruCoat at the factory.

There's nothing we can do,
but I'll talk to my boss.

These guys here.
These guys.

It's always the same.
It's always more.

You going to
the Gophers on Sunday?

Oh, you betcha.

You wouldn't have
an extra ticket?

You kidding?

Well,

he never
done this before,

but seeing as it's special
circumstances and all,

he says I can knock
$100 off that TruCoat.

100?

You lied to me,
Mr. Lundegaard.

You're a bald-faced liar.

Bucky, please.

A fucking liar.

Bucky, please.

Where's my
goddamn checkbook?

Let's get this
over with.

Where is it?

From Hollywood,
The Tonight Show, starring...

I am talking
about your potential.

Mmm-hmm.

You're not a C student.

Yeah.

Yet you're getting
C grades.

It's that disparity there
that concerns your dad and me.

Uh-huh.

You know
what a disparity is?

Yeah!

Okay! Well,
that's why we...

We don't want you
going out for hockey.

Oh, man!

Come on. What's the big
deal? It's just an hour...

Hold on.

What's the big deal?

Hello?

Yeah, hiya, hon.
Oh, hi, Dad.

Is Jerry around?

Yeah. Hon!
Yeah, he's here.

Yeah, I'll catch him
for you.

Hon!
Yeah?

It's Dad.
Okay.

Look, Dad,
there's no fucking way...

Scotty!

Hey, let's watch
that language there.

How you doing there, Wade?

What's going on there?

Nothing, Wade.
How you doing there?

Stan Grossman
looked at your proposal.

He says
it's pretty sweet.

No kidding?

Might be interested.

No kidding? I'd need the
cash pretty quick there,

in order to
close the deal.

Come by at 2:30.
We'¡ta¡k about it.

If your numbers are right,
Stan says it's pretty sweet.

Stan, you know, Grossman.
Yeah.

2:30.

Yeah. Okay.

Say, Shep,
how you doing there?

Say, you know
those two fellas

you put me in touch
with up there in Fargo?

I put you in
touch with Grimsrud.

Yeah, well, he had
a buddy there.

He...
Then I don't vouch for him.

Well, that's okay.

I vouch for Grimsrud.
Who's his buddy?

Carl something.

Never heard of him.
Don't vouch for him.

Well, that's okay. He's a buddy
of the guy you vouched for,

so I'm not worried.
I just...

I was wondering, see, I got
to get in touch with him.

See, this deal I needed him
for, I may not need it anymore.

Something's happening, see.
Call him up.

Yeah, well, see, I did that, and
I haven't been able to get him,

so I thought maybe you'd know an
alternate number, or what have you.

Nope.

Okay. Well...

Real good, then.

Can you crack a fucking
window open, man?

You know, it's proven
that secondhand smoke is...

You know, a cancer agent.

Hey, look at that.
Twin Cities.

That's the IDS Building,
the big glass one.

Tallest skyscraper in the Midwest
after the Sears in Chicago,

or John Hancock building,
whatever.

You ever been
to Minneapolis?

No.

Would it kill you
to say something?

I did.

"No. " That's the first thing
you've said in the last four hours.

That's a...

That's a fountain
of conversation, man.

That's a geyser.

I mean, whoa, daddy.
Stand back, man.

Shit.

I'm sitting here driving.

I'm doing
all the driving, man,

whole fucking way
from Brainerd, driving.

Just trying to chat.

You know,
keep our spirits up,

fight the boredom
of the road,

and you can't say one fucking thing
just in the way of conversation?

Oh, fuck it. I don't
have to talk either, man.

See how you like it.

Just total fucking silence.

Two could play at
that game, smart guy.

We'll just see
how you like it.

Total silence.

Mr. Lundegaard, this is
Reilly Diefenbach from GMAC.

How are you this morning?

Real good.
How you doing?

Pretty good,
Mr. Lundegaard.

You're damn hard
to get on the phone.

It's pretty darn busy here,
but that's the way we like it.

We¡, that's for sure.

Now, I just need
on these ¡ast,

these financing documents
that you sent us,

I can't read the
seria¡numbers of the vehic¡es.

Yeah, but I already
got the...

It's okay.
The loans are in place.

I already got the...
What? The...

Yeah, the 320,000.

You got the money
¡ast month.

Yeah, so we're all
set, then.

Yeah, but the vehic¡es
that you're borrowing on,

I just can't read the
seria¡numbers on your application.

Maybe if you
could just read...

Yeah, but the deal's
already done.

I already got the money.

Yes, but if we have
an audit here,

I just have to know
that these vehic¡es

you're financing
with this money,

that they really exist.

Yeah, well,
they exist, all right.

I'm sure they do,

but I can't read the seria¡numbers
here, so if you could read me...

Yeah, but... See...

I don't have
them in front of me.

Why don't I just
fax you over a copy?

No, we¡, no,
fax is no good.

That's what ¡have, and I
can't read the darn thing.

Yeah, okay. I'll have my girl
send you a copy, then.

Okay, because if I can't corre¡ate
this note with the specific vehicles,

then I got to
call back that money.

Yeah, how much
money was that?

320, 000. I got to correlate that money

with the cars
it's being lent on.

Yeah. Okay, no problem. I'll
just fax that right over.

No, no, no. Fax...

I mean, send it over. I'll
shoot it right over to you, then.

Okay, okay. Fine.

Okay. Real good, then.

We're back with Katie Car¡son.
Hi.

Now, before
we get going here,

we just want to remind
a¡of our viewers at home

that this March, for
the second year in a row,

Katie and ¡, along
with Twin City Travel,

will be leading a two-week
riverboat trip down the Ni¡e.

It's a terrific time. I
know you've heard about it.

We want all of you
to come with,

and that's the truth.

Okay, now, for those of
you that just joined us,

Katie here, this morning,
is going to show us

how to make Holidazzle
eggs ourse¡ves, at home.

Now, Katie, I gotta admit...
What?

I was a little bit surprised
when I first picked this up.

Right.

This is an empty egg.

That's right, Dale.

Well, how do you
get the egg...

There was an egg in here, right? Yeah.

Okay, well, I don't... How do
you... I mean, you don't have

an empty chicken somewhere
that lays empty eggs?

No, no.

I guarantee, this was
an honest-to-goodness...

Unguent.

What?

I need unguent.

No.

No...

You want to do it?

Push.

How are you, Stan?
How you doing, Wade?

Good to see you
again, Jerry.

If these numbers are right,
this looks pretty sweet.

Those numbers
are right, all right.

Believe me.

This is doable.

Congratulations, Jer.

Yeah, thanks, Stan.
Well, it's a pretty...

What kind of finder's fee
were you looking for?

Huh?

The financials
are pretty thorough,

so the only thing
we don't know is your fee.

My fee?

Wade, what the heck
are you talking about?

Stan and I are okay.

Yeah.
We're good to load in.

Yeah.

But we never talked about
your fee for bringing it to us.

No, but, Wade, see, I
was bringing you this deal

for you to loan me
the money to put in.

It's my deal here, see.

Jerry, we thought you were
bringing us an investment.

Yeah. Right.

You're saying...

What are you saying?

You're saying
we put in all the money,

and you collect
when it pays off.

No, no. See... But I'd...

I'd pay you back the
principal and interest.

Heck, I'd go
one over prime?

We're not a bank, Jerry.

If I wanted bank
interest on 750,000,

I'd go to Midwest Federal,
talk to old Bill Diehl.

He's at North Star.
He's at...

No, no. See, I...

I don't need a finder's fee.
I need...

Finder's fee is,
what, 10%?

Heck, that's not
gonna do it for me.

I need the principal.

Well, Jerry, we're not gonna
just give you $750,000.

What the heck
were you thinking?

If I'm only
getting bank interest,

I want complete security.
Heck, FDIC.

I don't see nothing
like that here.

Yeah, but I...

Okay. I...

I guarantee you
your money back.

I'm not talking about
your damn word, Jerry.

Jeez!
What the heck are you...

We're not a bank, Jerry.

Well, look. I don't want
to cut you out of the loop,

but this here's
a good deal.

I assume,
if you're not interested,

you won't mind if we
move on it independently.

Damn it!

Hon?

I got the groceries!

Yeah, Wade, hi.
It's Jerry. I...

Wade, it's Jerry. I don't
know what to do. It's Jean.

I don't know what to do.
It's my wife.

I don't know what to do.
It's Jean.

Yeah, Wade, I...
It's Jerry. I...

Wade, it's Jerry.
I... We gotta talk.

It's something...
Jeez. It's terrible.

Yeah, Wade Gustafson, please.

Shut the fuck up,

or I'll throw you back
into the trunk, you know.

Jesus, that's more than
I've heard you say all week.

Shit.

Oh, the tags.

All right,
it's just the tags.

I never put
my tags on the car.

All right, don't worry.
I'll take care of this.

All right, just keep it
still back there, lady,

or else we're gonna have
to, you know, to shoot you.

Hey, I'll take care of this.

How can I help you, Officer?

This is a new car,
then, sir?

It certainly is, Officer.
Still got that smell.

You're required to
display temporary tags,

either in the plate area or taped
to the inside of the back window.

Certainly.

Can I see your license
and registration, please?

Certainly.

Yeah, I was gonna tape
up those... The tag.

You know, to be in full
compliance, but it must have...

It must have
slipped my mind.

So maybe the best
thing to do would be

to take care of that
right here in Brainerd.

What's this, sir?

My license
and registration.

Yeah, I want to be
in compliance.

I was just thinking we could
take care of it right here,

in Brainerd.

Put that back in
your pocket, please,

and step out of the car, please, sir.

Shut the fuck up.

Whoa.

Whoa, daddy.

You'll take care of it.

You are smooth,
smooth, you know?

Oh, daddy.

Just clear him
off the road.

Yeah.

No!

Oh, jeez.

Hi. It's Marge.

Oh, my. Where?

Yeah?

Oh, jeez.

Okay. There in a jiff.

Real good, then.

You can sleep.
It's early yet.

Got to go?

Yeah.

I'll fix you
some eggs.

It's okay, hon.
I gotta run.

You got to eat
a breakfast, Marge.

I'll fix you
some eggs.

Hon, you can sleep.

You gotta
eat a breakfast.

I'll fix you
some eggs.

Norm.

Thanks, hon.
Time to shove off.

Love you, Margie.

Love you, hon.

Hon?

Yeah?

Prowler needs a jump.

Hiya, Lou.

What you got there?

Margie, thought you might
need a little warm-up.

Thanks a bunch.

So what's
the deal now?

Gary says
triple homicide?

Yeah, looks pretty bad.

Two of them
are over here.

Where is everybody?

Well, it's cold, Margie.

Watch your step, Margie.

Jeez. So...

Jeez!

Here's the second one!

It's in the head
and the hand there.

I guess that's
a defensive wound.

Oh, yeah?

Where's the
state trooper?

Back there a good piece, in
the ditch next to his prowler.

Okay.

So we got a trooper
pulls someone over.

We got a shooting.

These folks drive by.

There's a high-speed
pursuit, ends here,

and then this
execution-type deal.

Yeah.

I'd be very surprised if our
suspect was from Brainerd.

Yeah.

And I'll tell you what.

From his footprint, he
looks like a big fella.

You see something
down there, Chief?

No. I just think
I'm gonna barf.

Jeez.

You okay, Margie?

Yeah. I'm fine.

It's just
morning sickness.

Well, that passed.

Yeah?

Yeah. Now
I'm hungry again.

You have breakfast
yet, Margie?

Oh, yeah.

Norm made some eggs.

Yeah?

Well...

What now, do you think?

Let's go take
a look at that trooper.

There's different
footprints here, Lou.

Yeah?

Yeah. This guy's
smaller than his buddy.

Oh, yeah?

For Pete's sake.

How's it look, Marge?

Well, he's got his gun on his hip there,

and he looks like
a nice enough guy.

It's a real shame.

Yeah.

Didn't monkey with
his car there, did you?

No way.

Well, somebody
shut his lights.

I guess the little guy
sat in there

waiting for his buddy to come back.

Yeah, it would have
been cold out here.

Heck, yeah. You think is Dave open yet?

Dave?

You don't think
he's mixed up in...

Oh, no, no. I just want to
get Norm some night crawlers.

Did you look
in his citation book?

Yeah. Last vehicle he wrote in
was a tan Cierra at 2:18 a.m.

Under plate
number he put "DLR."

I figure they stopped him
or shot him

before he could finish
filling out the tag number.

So, I got the State looking for a
Cierra with a tag starting "DLR."

They don't got
no match yet.

I'm not sure that
I agree with you 100%

on your police
work there, Lou.

Yeah?
Yeah.

I think that vehicle there
probably had dealer plates.

"DLR."

Oh.

Jeez.

Say, Lou,

did you hear
the one about the guy

who couldn't afford
personalized plates,

so he went and changed
his name to J3L-2404?

Yeah. That's a good one.

Look, all's I know is, you got a
problem, you call a professional.

No. They said no cops.

They were darn
clear on that, Wade.

They said, "You call your
cops, and we're gonna shoot... "

Of course they're gonna say that.

Where's my protection?
They got Jean here.

If I give these sons
of bitches $1 million,

where's my guarantee
they're gonna let her go?

Well, they...

$1 million is a lot of damn money.

Yeah, but... There they
are. They got my daughter.

Think this thing
through here, Wade.

You give them what they want,
why won't they let her go?

You got to listen to
me on this one, Wade.

Heck, you don't know.

You're just whistling
Dixie here.

I'm saying the cops, they
can advise us on this.

I'm saying
call a professional.

No. No cops.

That's final. This
is my deal here, Wade.

Yeah.

Jean is my wife here.

I gotta tell you, Wade, I'm
leaning to Jerry's viewpoint here.

Well...

We got to protect Jean. These...

We're not holding
any cards here, Wade.

They got them all.
So they call the shots.

You're darn tooting.

Oh, damn it.

I'm telling you.

Well, why don't we...

Stan, I'm thinking we should
offer them a half a million.

Now, come on here!

No way, Wade.
No way.

We're not horse-trading here, Wade.

Yeah.

We gotta just bite the
bullet on this thing.

Yeah.

So, well, what's the
next step here, Jerry?

They're gonna call me up and
give me instructions for a drop.

I'm supposed to have
the money ready tomorrow.

Damn it!

How was everything today?

Yeah. Real good, now.

How you doing?

Okay. Now, we'll get the money together.

Don't worry
about it, Jerry.

Now, do you want anyone at
home with you till they call?

No, I...
They don't...

They were just supposed
to be dealing with me.

They were real clear.
Yeah.

You know, they said
no one listening in.

They'll be watching.

You know,
maybe it's all bull,

but like you said, Stan,
they're calling the shots.

Okay.

Now, is Scotty
gonna be all right?

Yeah. Jeez. Scotty.

Yeah. I'll go
talk to him.

How you doing
there, Scotty?

Dad...

What are they doing?

What do you think
they're doing with Mom?

It's okay, Scotty.

They're not gonna
wanna hurt her any.

These men,
they just want money.

Yeah, well, what if
something goes wrong, Dad?

No, no. Nothing's going wrong here.

Granddad and I, we're, we're
making sure this gets handled right.

I really think we should
call the cops here.

No. No. No one can
know about this thing.

We gotta play
ball with these guys.

You ask Stan Grossman, he'll
tell you the same thing.

Yeah. But, Dad...

We're gonna get Mom back for
you, but we gotta play ball.

You know?

That's the deal here.

So if Lorraine calls,
or Sylvia,

you just say Mom's down in
Florida, with Pearl and Marty.

That's the best
we can do here.

No!

No!

Oh, God.

Lunchtime.

Thanks,
Margaret.

Hi. Hey.

Willy. Carol.

Janie, two more of those
Skin So Soft, please.

Sure thing.

Hiya, hon.

I brought you
some lunch, Margie.

What are those?
Night crawlers?

Yeah.

Oh, thanks, hon.

You bet.
Thanks for lunch.

Yeah.
Looks pretty good.

What do we
got here, Arby's?

How's the painting going?

Pretty good.

Found out the Hautmans are
entering a painting this year.

Hon, you're better
than them.

They're real good.

They're good, Norm, but
you're better than them.

You think so?

Hey, you got Arby's
all over me.

Hiya, Norm.
How's the painting going?

Not too bad.
You know.

How we doing
on that vehicle?

Well, no motels registered
any tan Cierra last night,

but the night before, two
men checked into the Blue Ox,

registering a Cierra and
leaving the tag space blank.

Jeez, that's
a good lead.

Yeah.

Blue Ox, that's that truckers'
joint out there on I-35?

Yeah. Owner was
on the desk then.

Said these two
had company.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah, we both did.
She went to college, too.

I went to Normandale for
about a year and a half.

Yeah, that's where
we met.

But I dropped out,
though.

Yeah.
She dropped.

Yeah.

So where you girls from?

Chaska.
Le Sueur.

But I went to high school
in White Bear Lake.

Go Bears.

Okay. I want you to tell me
what these fellows looked like.

Well, the little guy, he
was kind of funny-looking.

In what way?

I don't know.
Just funny-looking.

Can you be
any more specific?

I couldn't really say.

He wasn't circumcised.

Was he funny-looking
apart from that?

Yeah.

So, you were having sex
with the little fella, then.

Uh-huh.

Is there anything else
you can tell me about him?

No. Like I say,
he was funny-looking.

More than
most people, even.

What about
the other fella?

He was a little older.

You know, he looked
like the Marlboro Man.

Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

But maybe I'm saying
that, you know,

'cause he smoked
a lot of Marlboros.

You know, like a
subconscious type of thing.

Oh, yeah,
that can happen.

Yeah.

Hey, they said they were
going to the Twin Cities.

Oh, yeah?
Yeah!

Yeah, is that
useful to you?

You betcha. Yeah.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Come on!

Goddamn it!

Jesus Christ.

Fucking shitbox.

Been here for days.

Damn it.
Nothing to do.

Fucking TV
doesn't even...

Damn it, come on! Plug me in,
man. Give me a fucking signal.

Goddamn it!

Unbelievable! Come on!

God...

Fuck!

Come on, plug me into
the ozone, baby! Come on!

Come on!

Fuck! Fuck!

The bark beet¡e

and the cycle begins again.

Well...

I'm turning in, Norm.

Oh, yeah?

Here it is, throwing
off the larval envelope.

Hello?

Yeah.
Is this Marge?

Yeah.

Margie Olmstead?

Yeah. Who's this?

This is Mike Yanagita!

You know, Mike Yanagita.
Remember me?

Mike Yanagita?

Yeah!

Well, yeah!

Course I remember you.

How are you doing?
What time is it?

Oh, jeez.
It's 10:45.

I hope
I didn't wake you.

No. That's okay.

Yeah, ¡'m down in
the Twin Cities,

and I was just watching on TV about
these shootings up in Brainerd.

And I saw you
on the news there.

Yeah.

I thought, "Jeez, is
that Margie Olmstead?"

I can't be¡ieve it.

Yeah, that's me.

We¡, how the heck
are you?

Okay. You know.

Okay.

Yeah?
Yeah.

How you doing?

Pretty good.

Well, heck.

It's been such
a long time, Mike.

It's great to
hear from you.

Yeah, you got your...

This is loaded here. This
has your independent...

Your front-wheel drive,
rack-and-pinion steering,

antilock brakes,
alarm, radar,

and I can give it to you
with a heck of a sealant.

This TruCoat stuff,
it'll keep the salt off.

Yeah, I don't need
no sealant, though.

Yeah.
You don't need that.

Now, were you thinking
of financing here?

You ought to be aware of
this GMAC plan they have now.

It's really super.

Got a call
for you, Jerry.

Yeah, okay.

Jerry Lundegaard.

All right, Jerry, you
got the phone to yourself?

Well, yeah.

You know who this is?

Well, yeah,
I got an idea.

How's that Cierra
working out for you?

Circumstances
have changed, Jerry.

Well...

What do you mean?

Things have changed. Circumstances,
Jerry, beyond the acts of God.

Force majeure.

What the...

How's Jean?

Who's Jean?

My wife. What the...

She's all right, but there's
three people up in Brainerd

who aren't so okay,
I'll tell you that.

What the heck
are you talking about?

Let's just finish
this deal up here.

B¡ood has been
shed, Jerry.

What the heck
do you mean?

Three people
in Brainerd.

Oh, jeez.

That's right, and we need more money.

What the heck
are you talking about?

What do you fellas
got yourself mixed up in?

We need more money...

This was supposed to be
a no-rough-stuff type deal.

Don't ever interrupt me,
Jerry! Just shut the fuck up!

Well, I'm sorry,
but I just, I...

I'm not gonna debate you,
Jerry. I'm not gonna debate!

We now want
the entire 80,000.

Oh, for Christ's sake here.

B¡ood has been shed.

We've incurred
risk, Jerry.

I'm coming into
town tomorrow.

You have
the money ready.

Now, we had a deal here.
A deal's a deal.

Is it, Jerry?

You ask those three poor souls
up in Brainerd if a dea¡'s a dea¡.

Go ahead, ask them!

The heck do you mean?

"The heck do you mean?"
I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah?

Jerome Lundegaard?

Yeah.

This is Reilly Diefenbach
at GMAC.

Sir, ¡'ve not received those
vehic¡e IDs you promised.

Yeah. I...

Those are in the mail.

That very well may be. I
must inform you, however,

that absent the receipt of those
numbers by tomorrow afternoon,

I will have to refer this
matter to our legal department.

Yeah.

My patience is at an end.
Yeah.

Good day, sir.
Yeah.

Hi, Norm.
How you doing, Margie?

How's the fricassee?

Pretty darn good.
You want some?

Oh, no. I got...

Hey, Norm, I thought you was
going ice fishing up at Mille Lacs.

Yeah. After lunch.

What you got there?

The numbers
you asked for.

Calls made from the lobby
pay phone at the Blue Ox.

Two to Minneapolis
that night.

First one's
a trucking company

and second one's
a private residence,

a Shep Proudfoot.

A what?

Shep Proudfoot.
That's a name.

Yeah.

Okay. Yeah.

Think I'll take a
drive down there, then.

Oh, yeah?
Twin Cities.

Oh, yeah?

Damn it, I want to be
a part of this thing.

No. Wade,
they were real clear.

They said they'd call
tomorrow with instructions,

and it's gotta be
delivered by me alone.

It's my money,
I'll deliver it.

What do they care?

Wade's got
a point, there.

I'll handle the call
if you want, Jerry.

No, no. See, they...

No. See, they only
deal with me.

You feel this nervousness
on the phone there.

They're very... These
guys are dangerous.

All the more reason.
I don't want you...

With all due respect, Jerry, I
don't want you mucking this up.

What the heck
do you mean?

They want my money,
they can deal with me.

Otherwise, I'm going to a professional.

No, see...
There's $1 million here.

No. See...

Look, Jerry, you're not
selling me a damn car!

It's my show here.
That's that!

It's the way we'd prefer
to handle it, Jerry.

Hi. How you doing?

Real good. How are
you doing today, ma'am?

I'm doing really
super there. Thanks.

I'm Mrs. Gunderson.
I have a reservation.

Yep. You sure do, Mrs. Gunderson.

Is there a phone
down here, you think?

Detective Sibert?

Yeah, this is Marge Gunderson
from up Brainerd. We spoke.

Yeah. Well, actually,
I'm in town here.

I had to do a few things
in the Twin Cities,

so I thought
I'd check in with you

about that USFI search
on Shep Proudfoot.

Oh, yeah?

Well, maybe I'll go visit
with him if I have...

No. I can find that.

Yeah. Well,
thanks a bunch.

Say, say, would you
happen to know

a good place for lunch
in the downtown area?

The Radisson.

Oh, yeah?
Is it reasonable?

Hi. How you doing?

Yeah. I decided
not to park here.

Well, what do you mean? You
decided not to park here?

Yeah, I just came in and I
decided not to park here, so...

But...
Well, I'm sorry, sir...

Yeah, I decided
not to... I...

You know, I'm not...

I decided not to take the
trip, as it turns out, so...

Well, I'm sorry, sir, we
still got to charge you the $4.

I just pulled in here.

I just fucking
pulled in here.

Well, but...

See, there's a minimum
charge of $4.

Long-term parking
charges by the day.

I guess you think you're, you
know, like an authority figure.

That stupid fucking uniform, huh, buddy?

King clip-on tie there.

Big fucking man, huh?

You know, these are the
limits of your life, man.

Ruler of your
little fucking gate here.

Here. There's your $4,
you pathetic piece of shit.

Where's Shep?

Talking to a cop.

Cop?

Said she was a cop.

So do you remember getting
a call Wednesday night?

Nope.

You do reside there
at 1425 Freemont Terrace?

Yep.

Anyone else
residing there?

No.

Well, Mr. Proudfoot, this call
came in past 3:00 in the morning.

It's just hard for me to believe
you don't remember anyone calling.

Now, I know you've
had some problems.

Struggling with
the narcotics,

some other entanglements,
currently on parole.

So?

Well, associating
with criminals,

if you're the one
they talked to,

that right there would be
a violation of your parole.

Would end you up
back in Stillwater.

Now, I saw some rough
stuff on your priors,

but nothing in the nature of a homicide.

I know you don't want to be an
accessory to something like that.

So, you think
you might remember

who those folks
were who called you?

Mr. Lundegaard?

Yeah.

Could I take just a minute
of your time here?

What is it all about?

Do you mind
if I sit down?

Carrying quite
a load here.

You're the owner here,
Mr. Lundegaard?

No. I...
Executive Sales Manager.

Well, you can help me.
My name's Marge Gunderson.

My father-in-law,
he's the owner.

Uh-huh.

Well, I'm a police officer
from up Brainerd,

investigating
some malfeasance.

And I was just wondering if
you'd had any new vehicles

stolen off the lot
in the past couple of weeks.

Specifically
a tan Cutlass Cierra.

Mr. Lundegaard.

Brainerd.

Yeah, yeah.

Home of Paul Bunyan,
Babe, the Blue Ox.

Babe, the Blue Ox.

Yeah, you know, we got
that big statue up there.

So, you haven't had any
vehicles go missing, then?

Nope. No, ma'am.

Okey-dokey.
Thanks a bunch.

I'll let you get back
to your paperwork, then.

Service.
Yeah, get me Shep.

He's not here
right now.

What the heck
do you mean?

He stepped out.

Where'd he go? It's only...
I'll get you Artie.

No. I don't need
a mechanic. I need a...

Jeez. I gotta talk
to a friend of his,

so...

Have him...

What?

Oh, jeez.

Mike?

Marge?

Jeez! Oh, you look great!

Yeah. So do you.
Easy there. Easy...

Easy there. Easy there. You do, too.

I'm expecting now.

I see that.
That's great.

What can I get you?

Just a Diet Coke, please.

Great.

This is a nice place.

Yeah. You know, it's the
Radisson, so it's pretty good.

Yeah.

So...

You're living
in Edina, then?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A couple of years now.

It's actually
Eden Prairie.

That school district.

So, Chief Gunderson, then!

So, you went and married
Norm son-of-a-Gunderson.

Oh, yeah.
Long time ago.

Great, great.

So, what brings you down?

Are you down here
on that homicide,

if you're allowed, you
know, to discuss that?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

But there's not a heck
of a lot to discuss.

Okay.

Well, what about you, Mike?

Are you married?

You got kids?

Yeah, yeah. Well...

I was married.
I was married to...

You mind
if I sit over here?

I was married
to Linda Cooksey.

No. Why don't you sit
over there? I prefer that.

Okay.

Sorry.

No, no. Just so I can see you.
Don't have to turn my neck.

Sure, sure. I understand.

I didn't mean to...

No, no. That's fine.

Yeah, sorry. Sorry.

So, I was married
to Linda Cooksey.

You remember Linda.
She was a year behind us.

Yeah. I think
I remember her.

Yeah! She...
Oh, yeah!

So, it didn't
work out, huh?

And then I've been working for
Honeywell for a few years now.

Well, they're
a good outfit.

Yeah, if you're an engineer,
yeah, you could do a lot worse.

But it's not...

It's nothing like
your achievement.

Well, it sounds like
you're doing really super.

It's not that...

It's not that things
didn't work out. It's...

Linda had leukemia,
you know.

She was...
She passed away.

No.

It was tough.

There you go.

It was long...

She fought
real hard, Marge.

You know...

So, what can you say?

Better times, huh?

Better times.

And then I saw you on the TV
and I remembered, you know?

I always liked you.

Well, I always
liked you...

I always
liked you so much.

So, Mike, should we get
together another time, you think?

No! I...

I'm sorry. It's...

You know, I shouldn't have done this.

I shouldn't have done this.
I shouldn't.

I thought we'd have
a really terrific time.

It's okay, Mike.

You were
such a super lady.

And then...
I've been so lonely.

It's okay, Mike.

Here's a song I dedicate to
all the ladies out here tonight.

Goes like this.

Let's find
each other tonight

Everything
will be all right

Don't hesitate now

Let's find
each other tonight

So...

Are you
from around here?

Just in town on business.

Just in and out.

Just a little
of the old in-and-out.

What do you do?

I...

You been to the Celebrity Room before?

With other clients?

I don't think so.

It's nice.

Yeah, well,
depends on the artist.

You know, Jose Feliciano,
you got no complaints.

Waiter!

What is he, deaf?

So...

How long you work
for the escort service?

I don't know.
A few months.

Find that work
interesting, do you?

What are you
talking about?

Right.

Come on.

I'm hearing bells.
Come on.

All right.
Where were you?

Shep, what the hell are you
doing? I'm banging that girl.

Fucking asshole. Get
the fuck out of here.

Put me back in Stillwater,
you little fucking shithead.

Get the fuck out of here.

Yo!
Cut that shit out, man.

Trying to get some
goddamn sleep here.

Come on, brother...

Fuck you!

Fuck you.

Animals!

Stay away from me, man.

Hey, smoke
a fucking peace pipe!

Don't you dare
fucking hit me!

Fucking little weasel!

Fuck you, man.
Stop it!

You fucking, motherfucking,
son-of-a-bitching, fucking cock!

Jesus Christ! You fucking
shitbag motherfucker!

Yeah?

All right, Jerry, I'm
through fucking around.

You got
the fucking money?

Yeah, I got
the money, but...

Don't you fucking
but me, Jerry.

I want you to put this money in the
Dayton Radisson parking ramp, top level,

30 minutes, Jerry,
we wrap this thing up.

Okay. But...

Hey, you're there in 30
minutes or I find you, Jerry,

and I shoot you and I
shoot your fucking wife,

and I shoot all your
little fucking children

and I shoot them all in the back of
their little fucking heads. You got it?

Okay, now, you stay away
from Scotty, now.

Got it?

Okay. Real good, then.

Dad.

It's okay, Scotty.

Where you going?

I'll be back
in a minute.

If Stan calls, you just
tell him I went to Embers.

Okay.

Here's your damn money.

Now, where's my daughter?

Yeah.

You goddamn punk!

Who the fuck are you?

I got your damn money.
Now, where's my daughter?

I am through
fucking around!

Drop that fucking briefcase!

Where's my daughter?

Fuck you, man!
Where's Jerry?

I gave simple
fucking instructions.

Where's my damn daughter?

No Jean, no money.

Drop that fucking money!

No Jean, no money!

Is this a fucking joke here?

Oh, jeez.

You happy now, asshole?

What's with you people?

You fucking imbeciles!

You fucking shot me!

May I have your ticket,
please?

Open the fucking gate!

Oh, jeez.

Dad?

Yeah?

Stan Grossman called.

Yeah. Okay.

Twice.

Okay.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Are you calling Stan?

Well, I'm...

I'm going to bed now.

How you doing?

Mr. Mohra?
Yeah?

Officer Olson.

Yeah. Righto.

Well...

So I'm tending bar down there at
Ecklund and Swedlin's last Tuesday,

and this little
guy's drinking,

and he says, "Where can
a guy find some action?

"I'm going crazy out
there at the lake. "

And I says,
"What kind of action?"

And he says, "Woman action.
What do I look like?"

And I says, "Well, what do I look like?

"I don't arrange
that kind of thing. "

And he says, "But I'm going
crazy out there at the lake. "

And I says, "Yeah, but this
ain't that kind of place. "

He says, "Oh, so I get it. So you think
I'm some kind of jerk for asking. "

Only he don't use
the word "jerk. "

I understand.
Then he calls me a jerk,

says the last guy thought
he's a jerk is dead now.

So, I don't
say nothing.

He says, "What do you think about that?"

And I says, "Well, that don't sound
like too good a deal for him, then. "

You got that right.

Yeah, he says, "Yeah, that guy's dead,

"and I don't mean
of old age. "

And then he says, "Jeez, I'm going
crazy out there at the lake. "

White Bear Lake?

Yeah, well, at Ecklund and Swedlin,
that's closer to Moose Lake.

So I made
that assumption.

Sure.

Anyway, he's drinking
at the bar,

so I don't think
a whole great deal of it,

but then Mrs. Mohra, she heard
about the homicides down here

and thought I should call
it in, so I called it in.

End of story.

Well, what'd this guy
look like, anyways?

Oh, he's a...

Little guy,
kind of funny-looking.

In what way?

Just in a general
kind of way.

Okay. Well, thanks a bunch, Mr. Mohra.

You're right.
It's probably nothing,

but thanks
for calling her in.

Sure.

Looks like she's gonna
turn cold tomorrow.

Oh, yeah.
Got a front coming in.

Yeah.
You got that right.

Jesus Christ.

Valerie, I'm leaving this
morning, back up to Brainerd.

Well, I'm sorry
I won't see you.

But you think
he's all right?

I saw him
last night and...

What did he say?

Well, it's nothing
specific he said.

It just seemed like it all hit
him really hard, his wife dying.

His wife?
Linda.

Who?
Linda Cooksey.

No. No, no.
They weren't...

He was bothering Linda for
about... For a good year.

Really pestering her,
wouldn't leave her alone.

So...

He didn't...

He never...

No! No,
they never married.

Mike's had
psychiatric problems.

Oh, my.

Yeah, he's been
struggling.

He's living
with his parents now.

Oh, jeez.

Linda's fine.
You should call her.

Jeez. Well...

Jeez.

That's a surprise.

Hello!

Mr. Lundegaard, sorry to
bother you again. Can I come in?

Yeah... No.
I'm kind of busy here.

I understand. I'll keep
it real short, then.

I'm on my way out of town,
but I was wondering...

Do you mind
if I sit down?

Carrying a bit
of a load here.

No, I...

Yeah, it's this vehicle
I asked about yesterday.

I was just wondering...

Yeah, like I told you, we haven't
had any vehicles go missing.

Okay. Are you sure?

'Cause I mean,
how do you know?

Because, see, the
crime I'm investigating,

the perpetrators were driving
a car with dealer plates,

and they called
someone who works here,

so it'd be quite a
coincidence if they weren't,

you know, connected.

Yeah, I see.

So, how do you...

Have you done any kind
of inventory recently?

The car's not
from our lot, ma'am.

But how do you know that
for sure without doing a...

Well, I would know.

I'm the Executive
Sales Manager.

Yeah, but I understand...

We run a pretty tight
ship here.

I know, but...

Well, how do
they establish that, sir?

I mean,
are the cars counted daily,

or what kind
of a routine here?

Ma'am, I answered
your question.

I'm sorry, sir?

Ma'am, I answered
your question.

I answered the darn...

I'm cooperating here,
and there's no...

Sir, you have no call
to get snippy with me.

I'm just doing
my job here.

I'm...

I'm not...
I'm not arguing here.

I'm cooperating,
and there's no...

We're doing all we can.

Sir, could I talk
to Mr. Gustafson?

Mr. Lundegaard.

Well, heck! If you wanna...
If you wanna play games here,

I'm working with you
on this thing here, but...

Okay! I'll do a damn lot count!

Sir, right now?

Yeah! Right now.

You're darn tooting!

If it's so damned
important to you.

Well, I'm sorry, sir.

What the Christ! Jeez!

Bob Elcorona, line two.

For Pete's sake.

For Pete's sake, he's
fleeing the interview.

He's fleeing
the interview!

How do I get
an outside line here?

All right.

Yeah.
Detective Sibert, please.

I told you it was over, and I
thought I made myself very clear.

Oh, you did. You made
yourself perfectly clear.

But something's
come up.

What?

Well, it's something
kind of small,

but it might be
a big problem.

I'm pregnant.

I've had a doctor's test,
I've got the certificate,

and there's no doubt about
it, I'm gonna have your baby.

Now, look here.
I can explain this.

See, Robin was...
Is a student of mine.

You should see
the other guy.

No, no, no. It wasn't
anything like that.

You don't understand!

I read that letter
that she wrote.

I think I understand
all there is...

What happened to her?

She started shrieking,
you know.

Jeez.

Well, I got the money.

All of it, all 80 grand.

That's 40 for you,
40 for me.

That's it, then.

You can have my truck.

I'm taking the Cierra.

We split that.

How the fuck do you split
a fucking car, you dummy?

With a fucking chain saw?

One of us pays
the other for half.

Hold on.
No fucking way.

Did you fucking
notice this?

I got fucking shot!

I got fucking
shot in the face!

I went and got
the fucking money!

I got shot
fucking picking it up!

I've been up
for 36 fucking hours!

I'm taking
that fucking car!

That fuck is mine,
you fucking asshole.

You know, I've been listening to
your fucking bullshit all week!

Are we square?

Yeah, you fucking mute!

And if you see your friend,
Shep Proudfoot,

tell him I'm gonna
nail his fucking ass.

I'll call you...
Later.

His wife. This guy says she
was kidnapped last Wednesday.

The day of
our homicides.

Yeah.

And this guy was who?

Lundegaard's
father-in-law's accountant.

Gustafson's accountant.

Yeah.

But we still
haven't found Gustafson?

...looking...

Sorry. Didn't copy, Lou.

Still missing.
We're looking.

Copy.
And Lundegaard, too?

Yeah.
Where are you, Margie?

I'm almost back.

I'm taking a drive
around Moose Lake.

Gary's loudmouth.

Yeah, the loudmouth.

So the whole state
has it, huh?

Gustafson and Lundegaard?

Yeah.
It's over the wire.

It's everywhere.
They'll find them.

Copy.

Yeah, we got
a lead on this...

There's the car!
There's the car!

Whose car?

My car! My car!
Tan Cierra! Tan Cierra!

Okay. Careful, Margie.
I'll send a couple cars.

Police!

Hands up!

Police!

So that was Mrs. Lundegaard
on the floor in there.

And I guess that was your
accomplice in the wood chipper.

And those three people
in Brainerd.

And for what?

For a little bit of money.

There's more to life than
a little money, you know?

Don't you know that?

And here you are.

And it's a beautiful day.

Well...

I just don't understand it.

Mr. Anderson?

Who?

Mr. Anderson, is this
your burgundy '98 out here?

Just a sec.

Could you open
the door, please?

Yeah, yeah,
just a sec.

Just a sec.

Dale!
My leg!

No!

They announced it.

They announced it?

Yeah.

So?

Three-cent stamp.

Your mallard?

Yeah.

That's terrific.

It's just
a three-cent.

It's terrific.

Hautman's blue-winged
teal got the 29-cent.

People don't much
use the three-cent.

Oh, for Pete's...
Of course they do.

Whenever they
raise the postage,

people need
the little stamps.

Yeah?

When they're stuck with
a bunch of the old ones.

Yeah.

I guess.

That's terrific. I'm
so proud of you, Norm.

Heck, Norm, you know,
we're doing pretty good.

I love you, Margie.

I love you, Norm.
