Fargo

Get off of me.

Hey...

Hey.

What's the plan? Are you...

Where are we going?

What?

Is that...

You speak with sign language?

Are you kidding me?

How are we supposed...

Chained to a deaf guy.

Jesus.

We need to cut this.

We were headed north, towards watab.

Maybe 40 minutes on the bus. Maybe longer.

I think I fell asleep.

A river nearby...

The Mississippi, I'm guessing.

Hey.

Hey!

We need a plan.

A plan!

I knew a Helga once.

All she do... Talk, talk, talk.

Whoo-ee! Good shooting, son!

I think I got him.

Ray...

I thought I could tough it out but I guess I'm a wimp.

Baby, please.

Baby...

Tell me you brought the getaway money.

Baby?

It's just... It happened so fast.

Ray, we need that money.

I know.

I'm going.

Ray...

You want me to go?

No. I'm fine.

I got it.

Put your back in it.

Okay. Okay. Get down.

Get down. Get down. Down.

No!

No! Come here. Get down.

Okay. All right. All right.

One, two, three, go.

You bitch!

No. No way.

No. No.

You want shoes?

What?

Shoes.

No.

Just whiskey.

Make it a double.

And one for my friend.

Yeah. Just this much.

Sherry.

Shartis?

Huh?

"Job sat on his dung heap, covered in boils."

- Mister, it's been a long day. - Ah!

They're all long.

That's the nature of existence.

Life is suffering.

I think you're beginning to understand that.

Hmm?

Amen.

Can I show you something?

Aw...

Ray is the cat.

What?

His name... I call him ray.

I know, I know. That's not really a cat's name,

but when I looked at him, that was the name that stuck.

But this is how it is, I think.

Are you familiar with ghuilgul?

It's Hebrew.

It's a word that describes how an old soul

attaches itself to a new body.

Ray?

Is that you?

Unfortunately, some souls cannot find a body to enter.

And they become lost.

Rabbi nachman believed

the Jewish victims of the massacre of uman

were lost souls.

1768 in Ukraine,

untold thousands killed by the cossack.

Women and children...

Their bodies dumped in a hole

and forgotten.

When rabbi nachman first visited uman,

he saw the mass grave, and he called it a garden.

He told his followers

that he wanted to be buried there.

The master of the field.

His soul, he said, would bind and comfort theirs.

Have you been to this place before?

The bowling alley?

Is that what you see?

Oh...

Cheers.

Oh...

Hits the spot.

We all end up here eventually.

To be weighed and judged.

As it is now for you and your friend.

You know, some thought that he should have stayed behind,

but I convinced him that he was on a better path now.

And you...

What about me?

I don't...

"Who will rise for me against the wicked?"

Who will take a stand against evildoers?

You need a ride?

- Uh... - There's a car out front.

It's a green Volkswagen beetle.

This is the universe at its most ironic.

Don't worry. Its sins have been swept clean.

You and your friend should take it.

The keys are under the mat.

I...

- Thank you. - Oh, don't thank me.

Simply deliver a message when the time comes.

A message?

- To who? - To the wicked.

Tell them...

"Though thou exalt thyself like the eagle,"

"though thou make thy nest among the stars,"

"thence will I bring thee down,"

"sayeth the lord."

"Though thou exalt thyself..."

It's okay. It's okay.

You'll remember.

Ray...

I'm afraid you have to leave the cat.

It's okay.

Hey, do me a favor, will you?

Mmm.

When the gophers play,

put a little beer in a bowl

and put it in front of the game.

Napkins.

And some vodka.

Yuri...

You are Yuri gurka, cossack of the plains.

Grandchild of the wolves' hundred.

I have a message for you

from Helga Albrecht and the rabbi nachman.

Socks.

Great.

I... I needed socks, thanks.

Don't thank us, thank Santa.

I should, um, go check on the ragout.

Let me help you.

Are you having a good Christmas?

Oh... you know...

Kinda weird.

I know, we'll figure it out.

Hmm.

Burgle.

Oh, jeez.

- Sir. - Not now.

Gloria burgle. Eden valley police.

You had one of mine on the bus. Nikki swango?

We're still doing a head count.

There's some dead from the crash,

- others from the assault. - Assault?

We count three sets of boot prints on the approach.

We got a stolen crotch rocket in the trees.

Plus some kind of homemade ramp

we think caused the upend.

You saw the vehicle on the way in?

The yellow deal flipped on its top?

Couple of bystanders probably slowed to do the Christian thing,

then recognized the debacle for what it was.

Second vehicle, panel Van maybe,

chases them for 2 miles,

runs them off the road,

finishes the couple execution style.

Jeez.

If I could just get a look inside the bus,

my suspect, well, she's real memorable.

A woman, you said?

No women on the bus, I can tell you that.

Anything I can...

That patch on your coat, does it say "us marshal"?

- No, sir. - Well then,

we'll call you when we find out, either way.

- Either? - Dead or alive.

Yeah, is he home? We got a meeting.

What the heck?

Sy, come in.

We're just having lunch, mind you.

Where's emmit? I tried calling yesterday.

He's resting. He's upstairs.

All this bother with his brother,

he's very upset.
