On Fargo S5E9, “The Useless Hand”
Two of Fargo’s main characters are now in captivity as Gator is being held and tortured by Munch in an ice-fishing shack on a lake, and Dorothy is still imprisoned on Roy Tillman’s ranch.
Dorothy manages to find a way to escape her handcuffs and make a call to Wayne/Scotty, but she can’t escape the ranch because a battle is coming.
Lorraine called in favors to get the FBI and SWAT teams to raid Tillman’s ranch, but at the same time, Tillman put out the call to his militia members to come help defend it and fight for their “freedoms.”
Indira manages security now for Lorraine and Witt Farr wants to join the rescue team that will search for Dorothy.
Munch brings back Gator to the ranch, minus his eyes, and then saves Dorothy from Tillman’s men who want to kill her, leaving her with a rifle and a way to defend herself.
- On Munch’s code of ethics
- Lorraine mentions Trump (though not be name)
- Indira’s quick job change
- Thoughts on Roy and Gator
