MALVO:
Mister, we’re not friends. Maybe
one day we will be. But I gotta
say, if that was me -- in your
position -- I woulda killed that
man.
LESTER NYGAARD:
Well, now. Hold on.
MALVO:
You said he bullied you in high
school?
LESTER NYGAARD:
(reluctantly)
Four years. Gave me an ulcer.
(humiliated)
One time he put me in an oil barrel
and rolled me in the road.
MALVO:
Seriously?
(Lester nods)
And now he tells you he had
relations with your wife. Then
bullies you again in front of his
children. Friend, this is not a
man who deserves to draw breath.
Beat. All the humiliation and pain Lester has suffered
threatens to bubble up.
LESTER NYGAARD:
Ya. Okay. But here’s the thing --
MALVO:
No. That is the thing.

LESTER NYGAARD:
(beat)
Well -- heck -- I mean, okay.
Okay. But what am I supposed ta do?
(beat)
Heck, you’re so sure about it,
maybe you should just kill him for
me.
MALVO:
(beat)
Are you asking me to kill this man?
LESTER NYGAARD:
No. That was -- I was joking.
NURSE:
Mr. Nygaard.
Lester looks at Malvo.
LESTER NYGAARD:
Ya, that’s -- just a second.
(to Malvo)
We’re just two fellas talking,
right? Just blowing off steam?
Malvo studies him.
NURSE:
Sir, it’s real busy --
LESTER NYGAARD:
Ya, like I said -- just a second.
MALVO:
Sam. Hess.
LESTER NYGAARD:
No. Now wait just a second --
that’s not --
NURSE:
Sir!
But Lester is focused on Malvo, like a mouse hypnotised by a
snake.
MALVO:
One word. Yes. Or no.

Lester looks at him, feeling a strange tickle down his spine.
All he has to do is say no, but he doesn’t.
NURSE:
Sir, I’m gonna give your spot to --
LESTER NYGAARD:
(stands)
Ya, I’m -- I’m coming for Pete
sake.
He shares one last moment of eye contact with Malvo, then
grabs his coat and hat, follows the nurse to an exam room.
Malvo watches him go.
CUT TO:
EXT. TWO LANE HIGHWAY. SAINT CLOUD, MN - DAY
The site of Malvo’s accident. The car is still there, its
trunk now closed. TWO POLICE CARS are parked nearby, lights
flashing. DEPUTY MOLLY SOLVERSON, 29 stands behind the
wreck, kicking her feet to stay warm.
A THIRD CAR pulls up. Police Chief VERN THURMAN (40s) gets
out. Molly comes over to greet him.
MOLLY:
Cold enough for ya, chief?
VERN:
Supposed to get down to negative
ten later.
MOLLY:
Heard that. Don’t much like the
sound of negative.
VERN:
Thought I might strip down to my
shorts. Work on my tan.
(nods)
So what’s this here then?
Molly shows him the scene.
MOLLY:
Chief, I arrived on the scene at
thirteen hundred hours, found this
late model Ford. Looks like she
rolled a few times. I found a set
of footprints leading away from the
car.

Possible our driver, injured, got
confused, wandered into the woods.
I was about to investigate.
