but i gotta say if that were me in your
position
i would have killed that man welcome to
watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 darkest fargo moments
okay my lovely no need to fret mom is
here
but it's the way you're unfriendly oh
you're so polite about it
you think you're rich you've no idea
what rich means for this list we'll be
looking at the times where this black
comedy tv crime series delivered dark
bone-chilling moments and confrontations
we're excluding excessively comedic
moments in favor of those that scare
fans in more ways than one
since this includes major events in the
series here's your spoiler alert
which fargo moments haunted your
nightmares let us know in the comments
number 10 mike milligan and lou
solverson standoff
kansas city mafioso mike milligan is
investigating the disappearance of a
rival family's son
ry gerhart state trooper lou salverson
is on his own investigation
when the two parties come across each
other see
you wouldn't by any chance be mike
milligan in the kitchen brothers would
you
you make us sound like a prague rock
band having earlier encountered his
father-in-law hank
mike meets lou with passive-aggressive
energy the situation heats up when
mike's associates the kitchen brothers
get into a standoff with lou while he
keeps a jovial attitude mike slowly
confesses his contempt for the people of
fargo
including lou we're very friendly people
no that's not it
pretty unfriendly actually
but it's the way you're unfriendly how
you're so polite about it
it's also clear that the slightest hint
of aggression will force a shootout well
this been enjoyable
but i better get going things seem fated
for the worst
as lou refuses to be intimidated while
mike decides the intensity of the
situation is better left unresolved
the scene still ends with a palpable
feeling of trepidation
i am not a crook number nine the
appearance of the ufo
supernatural elements are a recurring
motif in fargo
and the second season's events are only
really possible due to ry gerhart
witnessing a ufo
this point isn't touched upon again
until least expected
in the penultimate episode when the
major characters are involved in a mass
motel shootout
things spiral into chaos when almost
every person is killed
and with lu being strangled by bear
gerhart the ufo appears once again
it's unclear what this means as everyone
is left in awe at this site
the fact that its purpose is never
explained leaves the possibility that
the ufo might have been a malevolent
entity drawn towards violence
strangely peggy blumquist is the only
one unfazed
opening up eerie questions over why that
is
shit's a flying saucer we gotta go
number eight
nurse mayflower poisons don fara okay my
lovely
no need to fret mom is here after being
injured in a freak accident
crime boss don fara is admitted to a
hospital where he has the unfortunate
luck of being looked after by
nurse mayflower i have found in my 36
years in god's green earth that it's
absolutely critical to be precise in
your use of language so as to avoid
instances of misreckoning
outwardly nice and sprinkling her words
with sweetness
mayflower is actually a murderer who
preys on her innocent victims
staying true to her malicious nature
mayflower misinterprets dawn's son
josto's request of taking care of his
father i don't like to see him like that
will you take care of him believing it
to be a suggestion to end dawn's life
the nurse happily complies even with the
knowledge of mayflower's intentions
it's unsettling to witness her casual
attitude while ending don fada
such a sweet boy oh he's concerned for
you
he sees a pain you're in tribulations
you've endured
but don't worry it won't be much longer
now
stop that her thirst for killing isn't
hampered by fada's attempts to fight
back
making this a truly violent moment
despite the lack of any bloodshed
it won't be much longer
number seven lauren malvo visits sam
hess
help you with something
sam hess wants to know
the psychopathic killer lauren malvo
possessed a strange liking for pranks
and naughty behavior
this extended to his malevolent dealings
as well as malvo makes sure to taunt sam
hess when he's already decided to make
him his next target
intrigued by lester nygard's interest in
ending hess's life for bullying him
malvo pays hess a visit heck you're so
sure about it maybe you should just kill
him for me
his sinister mannerisms show immediately
as malvo suggests
hess's roguish sons make their
quarreling a lot more brutal
you're doing it wrong you need to press
your forearm into the back of his neck
grab your elbow with the other hand
choke him right out his sadistic glee
increases when he meets hess
intentionally insulting his sons to get
a reaction just talking to your boys
i think the younger one's a little dim
things are close to escalating before
hess composes himself
unaware he's just met the man who will
savagely end his life later that night
and all this just to tickle malvo's
devilish amusement
what the heck do you want i just wanted
to have a look at you
okay that'll do it number six
vm vargas explanation of wealth you've
no idea
what rich means his haggard appearance
makes him seem like a man with nothing
to offer
but vm varga proves himself to be a
master manipulator
after interjecting himself in emmett
stussy's business
varga insists he'd be named a partner
i've studied your books
and you're not just in the park you're
not business anymore
the business am i in a billionaire
business
unfazed by emmett's refusal he begins an
explanation of what wealth means
according to him rich is a fleet of
private
planes filled with decoys damascus scent
it's a bunker in wyoming and another in
gestad
claiming that true wealth comes from the
accumulation of security provided by
one's riches
we watch as vargas slowly plants the
seeds of greed in emmett's mind
his verbose manner hides the fact that
varga is justifying preying on the poor
to make a man richer
essentially varga proves himself to be
the representation of a parasite
one who intends to feed off emmett to
satiate his own endless hunger for
wealth
they're coming pitchfork peasants with
murder in their eyes and me your
guardian angel
number five massacre at the diner hi
no what do you mean no
whatever you're selling i am fine a gun
and a person with a short temper are a
very bad combination the second season
premiere sees rye
the youngest son of the gerhart crime
family approached
judge irma to coerce her into unfreezing
his associates funds
if the devil couldn't change job's mind
how the hell are you going to change
mine
when the bold irma is unfazed by his
threats and attacks him in self-defense
ry snaps and begins gunning the diner
down now scramble
oh crap having started off on a comedic
note the scene suddenly transitions into
one of extreme violence
this escalation in viciousness is over
the top but has a touch of realism that
makes it haunting to watch
and although the characters try to fight
back ryze fury
is ultimately too destructive to contain
in the end the appearance of the ufo
completes what is a harrowing night
indeed
number four lauren malvo and lou
salverson's conversation
having decided to kill lester lorne
malvo attempts to locate his whereabouts
i'm in town for not too much time just
passing through really
but uh i wanted to look up my old pal
lester nygard
oh sure i know lester as soon as he
arrives in lou sullivan's restaurant
the latter is able to tell there's
something very wrong about this man
their conversation never goes beyond
sharing words but it's clear that malvo
knows
lou has an inkling of his true nature
his method of dark intimidation doesn't
work on lou
who instead shares his experience of the
motel shootout in grim
fashion i'll tell you the details but it
sounded like i made them up
madness really undeterred malvo instead
seems to relish
the idea of such brutality i'd call it
animal
except animals only kill for food
the tension between them is understood
but unaddressed with both men appearing
to challenge the other to break
although malvo departs he doesn't leave
without implying that he might just be
the devil in human form
i haven't had a piece of pie like that
it's just a garden of eden
number three lester nygard frames his
own brother
if you want this to go away you got to
give him someone with evidence mounting
against him for his wife pearl's death
lester escapes the hospital he's
admitted to and heads to his brother
chaz's house planting pictures of pearl
among chaz's possessions
lester makes it appear as if chaz was
having an affair with pearl and killed
her to conceal it
he even goes as far as planting a gun in
his nephew's school bag
to lure the cops to search chaz's house
as expected
chaz is apprehended you gotta believe me
i didn't do these things
for me to say sir although his act of
killing pearl was a snap moment
lester's decision to frame his brother
chaz is a thoroughly calculated move
it also establishes lester's malevolence
as he has no moral compunctions in
framing his brother for his own crimes
you arrested lester no didn't she hear
it was his brother chaz the whole time
he was having an affair with the wife
she broke it off what number two lauren
malvo corrupts lester nygard
lester is presented as a weak-willed man
when he's belittled by his childhood
billy sam hess
they ever tell you how i used to beat
this little guy up in high school
while at the hospital to treat his
injury a chance meeting with lauren
malvo sets the stage for his corruption
heck you're so sure about it maybe you
should just kill him for me
as previously mentioned interpreting
lester's contempt for hess as an
approval for killing the man
malvo is glad to follow through upon
being confronted by lester after hess's
death
an unaffected malvo gives him a life
lesson that plants the seeds for
lester's descent into villainy
your problem is you spent your whole
life thinking there are rules
there aren't swayed by malvo's alpha
male mentality and tempted into breaking
rules of society
lester fully embraces his darker side
effectively having sacrificed his
humanity
lester basks in the success that comes
with it all until he sees
evil right in the face of malvo yes
or no
yes before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few
honorable mentions hanzi dent faces
racism
what are you doing buddy
i just want a glass of water oh [ __ ]
bird's thirsty
get a load of that is he crying around i
think he's crying
vm varga poison psy it was my mom's
recipe
the secret of which she smuggled beneath
her bosom
all the way from wales to bristol lester
sends his second wife to her death
put your hood up huh i'd hate for your
pretty face to freeze
malvo's extermination of the mafia

number one lauren malvo intimidates gus
grimly
evening officer even license and
registration please
we could do it that way following his
killing of the police chief
lauren malvo is stopped for speeding by
the good-natured but easily intimidated
cop
gus grimly in no mood to be pressed by
authority
malvo refuses to comply with gus's
demands using his powers of persuasion
to spiritually [ __ ]
gus you step out of the car please sir
how old's your kid
he said step out of the car with his
stone cold stare bearing on gus
malvo is able to seize complete control
of the situation
what's chilling to realize is that this
is lauren malvo being merciful
as the killer reminds gus he could
easily leave his daughter without a
father
i'm going to roll my window up then i'm
going to drive away
and you're going to go home to your
daughter and every few years you're
going to look at her face
and know that you're alive because you
chose not to go down a certain road on a
certain night
gus overcoming his fear later has no
effect as malvo is able to intimidate
him
again even when pretending to be someone
else entirely
establishing how the devil comes in many
forms
i said did you know that the human eye
can see more shades of green than any
other color
