Fargo, S1 Ep10

Fargo, S1 Ep10

Hi everybody, Mary here.

So, here's the episode for the tenth and very last episode of Fargo. Without any further ado, let's get started, shall we ?

Morton's Fork

So, here are the three words I've chosen for this episode :

The Last Trick : So, in this episode, our serial killer knows that he's going to get caught by the police, so he pulls off a last trick and decides to contact the FBI and have the back-up cancelled by saying that the local police can handle the situation on their own. So, he thinks he's going to walk free out of this story, and even Lester, who tried to set a trap for him, fails as he just wounds him and let's him go away. But, in the end, he's killed by the person we thought wouldn't do anything related to the police at all : our gentleman and father. Surprising, right ?

Hunting Family : Also, in this episode, the policewoman's dad was also a police officer himself for eighteen years, until he got shot and given the pension. He decides to protect his family that he adores (especially his grand-daughter-in-law, his son-in-law's daughter), and he has also a wonderful daughter who's a policewoman. So, when the father's daughter comes in and decides to guard the house with him, he just says « That's my girl. », because he can do with her what he couldn't and still can't with his daughter. Maybe it's a way to tell her that he could do these things, but that they never get the opportunity to do those.

The Truth : So the father kills our serial killer, and his wife, the policewoman, comes in and sees the recordings he had made out of his « clients » during the different « cases » he went through during all of his career. Now, the policewoman has the truth about what happened to Pearl, and what Lester did, and she now has also many informations about many other cases that can now be solved thanks to these tapes. That's why the ex-policeman is going to be awarded for bravoury whereas he just killed the serial killer.

Overall impression : An AMAZING finale, for this season packed with action and suspense. The end of a thrilling story with the death, not only of the serial killer, but also, of Lester... who, in the end, was ALSO guilty. Guess that the sentence ALWAYS shows up in the end, am I right ?

Okay, that's it for today ! I hope that you enjoyed this post and I will see you very soon with another one !

And as usual, our last word : KIDNEYS !
