"Before the Law" is the second episode of the second season of the FX anthology series Fargo, and the twelfth episode of the series overall. It was written and directed by series creator and showrunner Noah Hawley.

Plot

Joe Bulo (Brad Garrett), Mike Milligan (Bokeem Woodbine) and two Kitchen brothers of the Kansas City syndicate arrive at the Gerhardt residence. Bulo offers Floyd Gerhardt (Jean Smart) a buyout of her family's operation but would allow them to run it. Afterwards, Floyd tells her sons about the meeting. Dodd bristles at his mother running the business, but acquiesces when she expresses her intent of him taking over once the current situation settles. She then demands Rye be found. Milligan and the Kitchens also begin searching for Rye. In Luverne, Peggy resumes work at the beauty salon while Ed stays home to clean up the garage and bundle up Rye's corpse to take to the butcher shop. While driving his family into town, Lou stops by the crime scene where Betsy finds Rye's gun in some weeds. Later that night, Lou sees a light on inside the closed butcher shop and finds Ed there. Lou asks to buy some bacon, while Ed does his best to distract Lou from seeing Rye's remains in a meat grinder. Lou eventually leaves unaware of what was really happening, and Ed finishes grinding Rye's body while strange flashing lights illuminate the exterior of the butcher shop.

Production

The music for the episode was provided by series composer Jeff Russo.[2]

Critical reception

"Before the Law" received critical acclaim. It currently holds a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes: the critical consensus is ""Before the Law" successfully juxtaposes Fargo's sweeping cinematography with intimate character studies that build tension between the various storylines."[4]

In a highly positive review, Terri Schwartz of IGN gave the episode a 9.2 rating out of 10, concluding that "Fargo delivered another excellent episode with "Before the Law," which focused more on increasing the tension than world-building. This isn't a show to waste screentime, so hopefully the pause to assess the damage after the events of the premiere pays off in episode 3."[5]
