> Well, maybe. But I was under the impression that Rundle was just a middleman of sorts (conveying messages to various mercenaries such as Malvo), rather than the actual employer. I didn’t get that “he was the big boss” vibe…but time will tell, I guess.

Looks to me like Rundle provides a service and sub contracts to appropriate specialists.

I think that service sounds plausible, big returns, but high risk. You start by knowing a guy who might be willing, for a fee, to do a little strongarm for someone. Before you know it, you have an office, a sexy secretary, and a clientele list worth killing for. Sure beats earning an honest living selling insurance…wait…timeshares…puppy mills?

Anyway, my prediction is that Malvo escapes. He is the actual devil incarnate and can’t be killed. Lester, of course, reverts to the victim personality and falls through the ice while trying to escape.

Molly and Gus have twins and name them Toivo and Eino

Toivo and Aino were putting new siding on an old barn. Toivo was up on the ladder with his pouch of nails and a hammer. Aino pushed the new board up to him and held the ladder. He kept getting hit by nails Toivo was dropping…

“Toivo…why are dropping so many nails?”  
“Aino, the head is on the wrong end on half of them!”

“You stupid Toivo…keep those for the other end of the barn!”

Malvo can bleed, we know that. But he does seem supernatural. I think he is the devil too, but not necessarily invincible.

I think he may be a demon of some kind, but not actually the Devil.

It seems odd that he was able to kill 22 people in that massacre in Duluth without getting shot or killed himself. Sure he had the element of surprise, but it was the offices of a criminal gang or a crime syndicate; surely they would have been armed.

I mentioned this in a previous Fargo thread. Malvo’s like a Stephen King evil entity like Randall Flagg. 100% Evil, preternatural and/or supernatural, yet still a part of this world and even killable. Or at least defeatable.

Though to be fair, from the descriptions, dybbuks seem to be anti-_everyone_.

I think that the bag of money is going to stay buried for several more years…and then be found by someone else a be a part of a new season of Fargo.

That’s kind of what I’m thinking - it’s the link between the movie and the show and if they decide to do another season, it will be the link between the seasons, as well.

Buried for years? He buried it the snow. Even in Minnesota, come spring, the snow melts.

Of course they were. We heard (and briefly saw) him being shot at repeatedly.
