After a hard day's work at the butchers, Ed Blumquist (Jesse Plemons) finally gets home to sit down to a well-earned meal. His wife Peggy (Kirsten Dunst), however, seems to be acting a little strange. After hearing noises in the garage, Peggy finally confesses that she hit a deer on the way home, but when Ed investigates the "deer" turns out to be none other than Rye Gernardt, battered and bruised from the hit and run. Rye isn't interested in dialogue, and after a brutal fight Ed kills him, stunned by what he's done.
