Fargo

Erstwhile on "Fargo"...

You're not gonna prove my Ed did anything wrong!

It's unprovable!

Lou: There was a cleaver in the man's head, son,

which Noreen said was you.

Not to mention there's a war going on up in Fargo

that you may have started

when you ran over that Gerhardt boy.

Floyd: You take care of this butcher.

He doesn't live through the night.

Already dead, believe me. He just doesn't know it.

Peggy: Sheriff? Hank: Go inside now, Peggy.

Go now.

Ed home?

Ed who?

No, Peggy, hey, hey.

When I find ya, darlin', I'm gonna make you bleed.

Uhh!

Ed: I need to find Peggy.

You're still in my custody.

You look worse than me.

Hank: don't tire yourself.

We know where he's headed.

Hon?

Peggy.

Peggy.

Have you actualized fully?

What?

Have you actualized fully?

I don't know.

I mean, I'm trying.

Do you feel cold sometimes, even when it's hot?

Sometimes.

Do you understand the difference between thinking and being?

What do you mean?

Do you understand the difference between thinking and being?

I --

to be is simply to exist.

Try it.

Try simply being.

I'm sorry.

But how is sitting here

gonna help me be the best person I can be?

Ah.

You want an explanation.

Well, kinda.

The human mind, aroused by an insistence for meaning,

seeks and finds nothing but contradiction and nonsense.

Okay.

It's just practically, I'm saying.

Uh, as a person, a married person,

a woman who's worried

she's not living up to her full potential.

Think or be.

You can't do both.

You're saying...

don't think about the person I want to be.

Just be that person.

Peggy.

don't think about the person I want to be.

Just be that person.

Just be that person.

Peggy.

Peggy, are you okay?

We were just talking,

and -- and it all finally makes sense.

This lady has lost her mind, brother.

Shut up.

She's seeing people who are not there.

I said "shut up." And here I am, tied up for no reason,

a concerned citizen just walking past,

and I -- and I hear a cry for help.

No, you're a Gerhardt.

And you're shit on my shoe.

Why don't you come here and let me wipe you off?

Okay. The cops are coming. Who knows who else.

Okay, no time to pack. Just the clothes on our back.

-Okay. -Okay?

Okay.

Did you --

no.

It was him.

He's the leader, i think.

Then we take him with us.

Peggy.

We're taking his car?

Yeah, they'll be looking for ours.

I understand now, hon.

Come on. Everything, what I have to do.

That's good. Now, watch your head.

Got one.

Gunshot.

Lou: Got another.

Gerhardts, I'm thinking.

No sign of Ed or Peggy.

I'm calling a medic.

Yeah. Probably a good idea.

This is just embarrassing.

I'll get an a.P.B. Out on the Gerhardt boys,

and, uh, see about starting the hunt for Ed and Peggy.

don't -- don't tell Betsy I'm down.

Yeah, she scares me more than you, so...

I'm gonna call.

Oh, you s...

I've just been doing it all wrong.

Both of us.

We make a trade, hon, is what I'm thinking. Wanting things,

pretending to be something we're not.

Selling their man back to 'em for freedom.

It's like when you're a kid and --

and you need permission to go to the washroom, and --

and you raise your hand and wait for the teacher to call on you.

But meantime, you just have to go so bad.

I should've looked at his wallet. But you just go.

Know exactly who we're dealing with here.

You just go.

You don't ask. You just go.

Till then, hon, we stick to the small roads,

out of the way motels, and we just -- we keep moving.

A road trip.

Wait. Hold the phone.

Uncle Grady's got that --

that hunting cabin outside canistota.

It's empty now. We go there and hole up.

See? We're moving now.

Things are flowing. Not trapped anymore.

Well, i-i mean, that was our home.

Yeah, but I mean energy-wise, you know?

I mean, you got to admit,

we were stuck in the mud.

Emotionally, I mean.

And -- and now, we're flying.

We -- we got a plan. That's what matters.

We -- we -- we got a plan for how to get out of this.

See it then be it. That's from lifespring.

Except -- except the cops. We -- we got to figure out --

we're gonna figure this out.

Right now, i just got to keep us alive.

You're doing it, hon.

We both are.

We're actualized.

Oh, I like it.

How come we've never come here before?

You said uncle Grady smelled like athlete's foot.

Remember?

Hon.

What?

In case he gets feisty.

Ohh.

Oh, no.

Aah!

Ooh.

-Ohh! -Ooh!

Good thinking, hon.

My tongue. My tongue.

What?

I bit my tongue half off.

You're dead, in case you were wondering.

You and your whore.

Zip your lips.

Dodd Gerhardt.

I'm gonna have fun taking her apart.

No.

That's good, yeah?

Yeah.

I saw a little convenience store up the road.

Gonna go make the call.

Oh, hon, there's a -- a phone near the bathroom.

Yeah, I'm gonna use a pay phone. Make it untraceable.

Oh, smart thinking, Ed blumquist.

What are you gonna say?

Well...

You know, uh...

"If we give him back to you,

you got to promise we'll go unmolested."

What if they say no?

Well, then, I'll show them which part's the flank steak.

Yeah, uh, it's, uh...

Is this the Gerhardt headquarters?

Good.

Well, this is the butcher.

And, uh, i-i need to talk to who's in charge.

No, not your butcher, the butcher.

Yeah.

From luverne.

So, let me talk to who's in charge.

I got Dodd.

You heard me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What do you mean a message?

don't they -- i-i mean I got Dodd.

Did you tell them that?

Just -- just tell them I'll call them back, okay?

Foot's on the other shoe now.

Shut up.

Oh, now that's just rude.

Come on, for shit's sake!

Hey.

Ed'll be back any minute, so don't get any ideas.
