NARRATOR: And so, we come to
perhaps the bloodiest chapter
2
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,527
in the long and violent history
of the Midwest region.
3
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,441
And here I'm speaking of
Luverne, Minnesota, 1979,
4
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,882
commonly referred
to by laypeople
5
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,440
as the Massacre at Sioux Falls.
6
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,405
Readers will know
that I've chosen
7
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:55,642
to file this case
as a Minnesota crime
8
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,166
even though most of the murders
9
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,641
took place in North
and then South Dakota.
10
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,686
But I believe the key to understanding
this complex and nuanced crime
11
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,287
is to look at the butcher and
small-town beautician at its center.
12
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,249
Ed and Peggy Blumquist
13
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,571
were just 29 years old on the night
their lives changed forever.

ya mongrel.

What's she sayin'?

It's a tri-state

43
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,486
What the heck are you doing here with...
With that one?
44
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:48,047
The eldest Gerhardt boy, Dodd?
45
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,601
He came to the house after Peggy
46
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,047
and she knocked him on his ass.
47
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,771
So, I thought
48
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,208
maybe trade him back to the family
and make a deal for us to go.
49
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:00,767
A fresh start.
50
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,601
We're on a journey.
51
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,321
Can we just...
52
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,650
While we're skippin'
down memory lane, here,
53
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,291
it's worth notin' that the
Gerhardt Indian is out there free,

for reinforcements.
55
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,650
So, if I were us...
56
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,687
I stabbed him.
57
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,761

outta here.

and leave 'em for the dogs.

61
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,844
He wanted a haircut and I
stabbed him with the scissors.
62
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,001

71

the Gerhardts?
73
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,768
No, they wouldn't.
74

They said they
weren't interested.
75
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,329
Well, that's what they told me.
76
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,965
So, I called Kansas City.
77
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,041
You did what?
78
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,407
I spoke to this fella, Milligan,
79
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,970
and he said he'd protect us
80
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,561
if we gave him Dodd.
81
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,447

set at 8:00 a.m.

00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,569
Yes, sir.
To the Motor Motel.
86

We need to get these two into custody now.
Where's the nearest precinct?
87
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,041
Tell 'em.

of the precinct, is the thing.

outfit you runnin' here, J.C.?

92
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,604
and talk about
how all your heads are flat.
93

can't vouch for the safety?

Well, you bring
these two into custody
100
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,168
can't guarantee they won't hear
about it down in Kansas City.
101
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,006
And you know they'll send,
like, an army.
102
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,645
So, we take 'em north,
103
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,848

got their heads on straight.

'em, we need to go soon.

think it'll keep 'em off death row.

them take you into custody.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile, at the crossroads
separating Minnesota from South Dakota,
180
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,291
a different kind of betrayal
was taking place.
181
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,442
Yes, sir, I do think
that sounds strange.
182
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,486
Mike Milligan, the low-level
enforcer for the Kansas City Mafia,
183
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:55,289
was playing a dangerous game.
184
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,605
Just hours earlier, he had
been targeted for execution,
185
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,610
but he had turned the tables
on his killers.

in a desperate gambit...
189
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,410

the eldest Gerhardt male.
191
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,763
He sought to rout the Gerhardt
family once and for all.
192

That's right.

with you, Captain,

and he told Eisenhower
to go to hell once,
287
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,771

would have got us all killed.
288
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,645
I send that man
a card every Christmas,

00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,727
'cause I can.
290
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,445

00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,643
But tomorrow, I'm takin'
the fight to the enemy.
293
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,286
Tell Simone to come see me.
294
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,885
I wanna apologize for yesterday.

We'll go into the barn.

have long debated the next two words

spoken by
the Gerhardts' Native man.
316
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,840
When, exactly, did he decide to
betray the rest of his employers?
317
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,448
Yes, he had executed
Dodd Gerhardt in cold blood,
318
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,364
but at what point did he
decide to finish the job?
319
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,326
Was it here?
320
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,046
Or maybe earlier.

be straight with us.
322
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,321
I'm straight.
323
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,927
NARRATOR: It's certainly possible
that the move was spontaneous.
324
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,410
Who knows, maybe it'd been
building inside of him
325
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,482
since Otto Gerhardt
took him off the street
326
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:48,925
when he was eight years old.
327
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:50,327
Whatever the answer,
328
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,610
when Floyd Gerhardt asked who it
was that was holding her son,

00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,284

00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,130
It was an ambush.

333
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,242
Butcher grabbed Dodd,
fled the state.
334
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:05,801
Why?
335
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,562
I tracked them to
a motel in Sioux Falls.
336
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,086
They got numbers, but they're
not expectin' anything.
337
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,641
FLOYD: I'll be there
in three hours.

00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,401
HANZEE: No, ma'am.
339
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,448
You send Bear and a dozen men,
we can bring him home.
340
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,885
Are you tellin' me what to do?
341
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,127
No.
342
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,689
Just can't vouch for
your safety is all.
343
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,370
Three times I sent
men to do a job.
344
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:30,771
Three times they
come back unfinished.
345
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:32,881
I'll handle this myself.
346
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:34,761
Yes, ma'am.
347
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,001
We'll lay waste to 'em
in the devil's hours.
348
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,645

undercover for the night.
350
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,807
Poker later if you feel
like losin' some money.
351
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,165
You better wear pants this time.
352

- Yeah, all right.
- (GROANS)
536
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,284
Peggy? Ed?
537
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:39,081
On the run,
538
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,444
with the Indian in pursuit.
539
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,281
Go.
540
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:47,481
I can make it.
541
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:52,441
Dinner Sunday?
542
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:54,361
(LAUGHS)
543
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,649
I'll be there in
a suit of armor.
544
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,169
(SIRENS WAILING)
545
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,370
(SINGING) Thought it was a nightmare
546
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,241
Lord, it's all so true
547
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,769
They told me,
"Don't go walkin' slow
548
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,521
"The devil's on the loose"
549
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,600
Better run through the jungle
550
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,286
Better run through the jungle
551
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,891
Better run through the jungle
552
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,924
Whoa, don't look back to see
553
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,529
Thought I heard a rumblin'
554
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,201
Callin' to my name
555
00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:02,562
Two hundred million
guns are loaded
556
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,451
Satan cries, "Take aim!"
557
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,366
Better run through the jungle
558
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,085
Better run through the jungle
559
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,566
Better run through the jungle
560
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,206
Whoa, don't look back
561
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,371
Ooh
562
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,726
Over On the mountain
563
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,961
Thunder magic spoke
564
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,647
"Let the people know my wisdom,
565
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:51,848
"Fill the land with smoke."
566
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,291
Better run through the jungle
567
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,284
Whoa, don't look back to see
568
00:47:02,500 --> 00:47:10,500
