Scenarios I want to happen in the finale:

Molly arrests Lester.
Gus kills Malvo.
Key & Peele get out of the doghouse.
Chief Bill throws up at the sight of Malvo's corpse. Retires. Molly becomes the new Chief.
Hess' two sons die in a horrible car accident.

I have a feeling Mr. Wrench will show up just in time to save the day or the very least distract/injure Malvo which will in turn save somebody from being killed by Malvo.

Spare the mother because Kate Walsh is still hot.

I like the way you think

If the passports are even there.

It looks like he only prints his own one-way ticket: http://gfycat.com/KeyHeartfeltGiraffe#

What an asshole. Guess he already had his passport or is planning to go in after Malvo leaves.
Wonder how Lester plans to explain a 2nd murdered wife.

I think it's because his safe is at his business.

Even then that is still odd to me. Whatever, maybe I'm the odd one because I don't lock up my passport.

This show is just ACES.

 

[redjako]

His cover was already blown when Lester came onto the elevator. Or, he woulda been too suspicious to meet the Witness Protection Brother.


At least, thats what I filled in a day later after watching the show. Which is typically a sign of a bit clunky writing

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Is this an impostor's quirk or foreshadowing?

 

[gspieler]

I had the same thought; Malvo essentially frees Wrench with an implication of doing future business, only Wrench's bond with Numbers was too strong, and instead Wrench uses the opportunity Malvo gave him to kill him. I could honestly see the ending being (1)Malvo kills Lester in shoot out, (2)Wrench kills Malvo(in the most epic fashion imaginable)? (3)Molly arrives on scene as said events are tanspiring, and (4)Molly arrests Wrench and gives him the "all for a little bit of money" spiel pulled directly from the first film. Just guesswork, but conceivable IMO.

Finally gave the show a chance and caught up to episode 9. I don't hold it in high regard like the rest of you, but it's still a pretty good show.

Martin Freeman has done a stellar job on the show, however If Lester gets away with it, it will seriously rustle my jimmies. Not keen on Malvo, they make him out to be untouchable and that scene where he enters the building shooting everyone which a scratch was ridiculous.

 

[Ro Dubya Bush**]

I think Malvo will be killed by Colin Hanks, and Molly finally pins Lester for the murders.

 

[Oblivian]

I fucking hate being the guy that slagged off the last episode but every elevator. EVERY elevator would have fucking cameras.

There are a lot of things in this series where you need to suspend expectation of being believable. What are the chances Lester would run into Malvo in Vegas like that? Here's another thing that I may have missed too: When Lester got back on the elevator, it was as if it was cleaned up and covered up. Later in the episode, we find out the murders were discovered from the elevator.

It's a one way ticket to Acapulco. He plans to be long gone before anyone even discovers his wife is dead.

How fast would Molly be able to freeze his accounts so he doesn't transfer the money to Mexico? Would she even be able to?

Thought it was clear that it was a different elevator...i'm sure there are a few of them in Vegas and I don't think Lester would have taken his wife to one he knew to be covered in dead people....:wink:

Right, it was a one way ticket. So, in regards to his passport he either already has it or is going to wait for Malvo to leave the scene.

I don't think Molly can do anything about his finances. The police would want to talk to him but he isn't a fugitive, at least not until charges are brought against him. He'd be a person of interest, with the sheriff probably still thinking he is a good guy.

edit: and it is a difficult thing to freeze finances, outside of the legality of it (much easier if the person in question is involved in terrorism), and tracking down where the money actually is; checking accounts and credit cards are easy other accounts aren't.

 

[CO68]

Now, I'm not so sure I want Lester to live through this. I knew he was going to send his wife into his business, but I was hoping he was just being paranoid some more. However, it might be cool if a total asshole like him gets away with all that shit and lives happily ever after. I hope it's not another run-of-the-mill ending.

 

[CO68]

But it's also a badly-written excuse to advance the plot. What was Lester's motivation in trying to talk to Malvo. It just didn't make sense. Plus Malvo's impulsive action to blow his cover and kill his three friends was a bit flimsy and done more for the shock value. The situation was still easily salvageable.

I don't see how that was poorly written at all. The old Lester would have walked away, but the new Lester has confidence and doesn't run away from everything. He stands up for himself. A big part of the show is Lester's transformation which was shown in that scene, and it was the result of meeting Malvo. I don't understand your critique at all. How was Malvo's action flimsy? How do you know it was easily salvageable? We don't know his relationship with those people, and he's only known them for 6 months.

You don't have a problem with a big coincidence of him seeing Malvo in LV, but you have a problem with him wanting to talk to Malvo?

Scenarios I want to happen in the finale:

Molly arrests Lester.
Gus kills Malvo.
Key & Peele get out of the doghouse.
Chief Bill throws up at the sight of Malvo's corpse. Retires. Molly becomes the new Chief.
Hess' two sons die in a horrible car accident.

I hope it doesn't tie up into a nice, pretty package like that. That's the type of run-of-the-mill, overly predictable ending I'm hoping against. I'm expecting something along the lines of:

Lester accidentally kills Gus
Mr. Wrench ends up saving Lester from Malvo
Lester puts the blame on Malvo for everything, gets away with all the bad things he's done and ends up marrying his brother's ex-wife
Molly figures out that it doesn't make sense that Malvo was responsible for everything, but can't do anything about Lester
Chief Bill quits and becomes a lawyer

Tonight!

In for Key and Peele saving the day.
