Same.

The door opens, and in steps Sy, carrying a cup of...something. Sy: "Drink this before you go, Mr. Varga." Varga: "I don't drink strange substances." Sy: "Oh, you'll love this, a special blend that my mother used to make, especially for me." Burgle: "Meet my supervisor, Mr. Varga. As for me, I'm going to the state fair for a corn dog." (Burgle exits, leaving Sy and Varga in the room.) Burgle faintly hears the sounds of a struggle and gagging as she walks down the hall and exits the building.;)

Varga or Burgle (love that name!)

Varga -- connections and shady dealings win out in the end, or; Burgle -- justice always triumphs in the end.

My money's on Varga walking out a free man.

I suppose Varga won in the considering they completely ripped off Lord of war, it was very sad to see such copycat finale.

The ol' "I'm rubber and you're glue" response? Hilarious. Starting fourth grade next September?

Don't mind Newman, he's just grumpy because he can't enjoy summer. The sun might make him a bit dense (pun intended).

There's two ways to look at it. In the first two seasons of Fargo the bad guys lost. So going off that Varga was arrested. However, Varga showed he was good at escaping from things like in the elevator. So he could have possibly been let go.

because anyone can also see EVASION is also what's been typed into the MESSAGE in the first place.

Well ... to be fair, you corrected your post after the mistake was brought to your attention.

I proposed a "gray" scenario, where Sy gets to "Fugu" Varga, while Burgle goes out for a corn dog at the county fair. In short, justice isn't served in the usual way.(Sy: "The suspect slipped and fell during an energetic interrogation, hit his head, and was rendered comatose.") But a lot of taxpayer money is saved by not having to go through the "trial and error" legal process. Still, Varga was going the way of Al Capone, marking a lifetime in federal prison.

My money is on Burgle being right. In the Fargo universe, people usually get what is coming to them in the end.

" In the Fargo universe, people usually get what is coming to them in the end."

That's a pretty compelling argument.

Someone posted on another site that you were clued to who was right by the instrument that was playing. I didn't catch that.

@Invidia Thank you, you watch more closely tban I do.

In Fargo land, I'd call Gloria's victory divine retribution rather than justice triumphs. In the same way, I would call Nikki's bowling alley encounter divine intervention.

Good points. How about this:

Nikki was given a "second chance, to save herself" through divine intervention. She kills bad guys (she is the lesser of the two evils) and the thugs deaths could be considered self defense, as they were definitely coming for her. However, she failed at her second chance with the attempted murder of Emmit, who did not kill Ray (death was accidental and he tried to make things right with Ray) and the death of the innocent state trooper.

Alternatively, she was a cog in a divine plan to eliminate the evil of the Varga people, and once she had served that purpose, she was given her divine just deserts.

I am not speaking as a religious person at all, which I am not, but trying to figure this out in the context of Fargo and the rest of the Coen brothers work, which is filled with good/evil tension in the religious sense.

All true, but I don't think they intended for all details to be wrapped up. Just my own, perhaps feeble, interpretation.
