This suggests that Kansas City has fired the first shot in the Gerhardts' "war." In the version of events presented by Dodd and Dent, Ed is the infamous "Butcher of Luverne," a hired hit man for Kansas City who specifically targeted Rye. Where Dent starts to diverge from the truth - with Dodd's anxious encouragement - is regarding the identity of Ed Blumquist, the bumbling butcher. Meanwhile, at the Gerhardt compound, Dent produces Rye's belt buckle and gives Floyd and Bear an essentially accurate account of how the family's youngest son met his maker. We get the sense that Kansas City is shoring up its local position. While they pace through the woods, the commissioner and Joe Bulo talk shop: Bulo wants to bring big business (an asphalt and concrete conglomerate?) to Fargo, and that sounds good to the commissioner, who suggests that he has plenty of political influence to wield. It's still a little unclear precisely when in 1979 this is meant to be, but on multiple occasions this episode, we hear Reagan - played by the legendary Bruce Campbell - delivering a stump speech derived from his November 1979 speech announcing his presidential candidacy, with references to a "rendezvous with destiny" (as Miss Scarlet might say, "You ain't just whistlin' Dixie!") and citing John Winthrop's vision of America as "a city on a hill."Īnyhoo, while the Gipper is talking about his humble working-class origins, the Kansas City mobsters are arming up - for what? For a deer-hunting expedition, it turns out, with Fargo's bow-hunting zoning commissioner as their expert guide.
The episode opens with Ronald Reagan's campaign bus rolling across the prairie.
