They have been running investigations on the car crash, the murder of Sam Hess, and have now caught a murder in progress at Lester’s house. Lester’s wife lay dead in the basement, and Lester has called Malvo with plans to kill him and frame him for the murder. Chief Thurman has come with questions regarding Sam Hess and Lorne Malvo.
