FUCKIN’’ WEEK!
A beat. Carl returns Grimsrud’’s stare.
CARL
…… Are we shquare?
Grimsrud says nothing.
CARL
…… ARE WE SHQUARE?
A beat.
Disgusted, Carl pockets the gun and heads for the door.
CARL
…… Fuckin’’ ash-hole. And if
you shee your friend Shep Proudpfut,
tell him I’’m gonna NAIL hizh
fuckin’’ ash.
OUTSIDE
We are pulling Carl as he walks toward the car. Behind him
we see the cabin door opening. Carl turns, reacting to the
sound.
Grimsrud is bounding out wearing mittens and a red hunter’’s
cap, but no overcoat. He is holding an ax.
Carl fumbles in his pocket for his gun.
Grimsrud swings overhand, burying the ax in Carl’’s neck.
MARGE
In her cruiser, on her two-way. Through it we hear Lou’’s
voice, heavily filtered:
VOICE
His wife. This guy says she was
kidnapped last Wednesday.
MARGE
The day of our homicides.
VOICE
Yah.
Marge is peering to one side as she drives, looking through
the bare trees that border the road on a declivity that runs
down to a large frozen lake.
MARGE
And this guy is……
VOICE
Lundegaard’’s father-in-law’’s
accountant.
MARGE
Gustafson’’s accountant.
VOICE
Yah.
MARGE
But we still haven’’t found Gustafson.
VOICE
(crackle)
- looking.
MARGE
Sorry - didn’’t copy.
VOICE
Still missing. We’’re looking.
MARGE
Copy. And Lundegaard too.
VOICE
Yah. Where are ya, Margie?
We hear, distant but growing louder, harsh engine noise, as
of a chainsaw or lawnmower.
MARGE
Oh, I’’m almost back - I’’m driving
around Moose Lake.
VOICE
Oh. Gary’’s loudmouth.
MARGE
Yah, the loudmouth. So the whole
state has it, Lundegaard and
Gustafson?
VOICE
Yah, it’’s over the wire, it’’s
everywhere, they’’ll find ’’em.
MARGE
Copy.
VOICE
We’’ve got a -
MARGE
There’’s the car! There’’s the car!
We are slowing as we approach a short driveway leading down
to a cabin. Parked in front is the brown Cutlass Ciera.
VOICE
Whose car?
MARGE
My car! My car! Tan Ciera!
VOICE
Don’’t go in! Wait for back-up!
Marge is straining to look. The power-tool noise is louder
here but still muffled, its source not yet visible.
VOICE
…… Chief Gunderson?
MARGE
Copy. Yah, send me back-up!
VOICE
Yes, ma’’am. Are we the closest PD?
MARGE
Yah, Menominie only has Chief Perpich
and he takes February off to go to
Boundary Waters.
ROAD EXTERIOR
Marge pulls her prowler over some distance past the cabin.
She gets out, zips up her khaki parka and pulls up its fur-
lined hood.
For a moment, she stands listening to the muffled roar of
