Part 2/9:
After completing a job, Malvo faces an unexpected incident on the highway when a deer crosses his path, leading to a crash. Amidst the wreckage, a nearly naked man escapes from Malvo's trunk into the nearby forest. The next day, we meet Lester Nygaard, a meek insurance employee beset by insecurities and past traumas. During a mundane lunch break, he encounters Sam Hess, a former high school bully, who uses intimidation to belittle Lester once more, leading to a fateful encounter that brings both men together with Malvo.
