Prison Break ( 2005–2017)

[breckstonevailskier]

Contrast: The Kidnapping of Jean Lundegaard (Fargo) vs. The Kidnapping of Dot Lyon (Fargo season 5)

I've juxtaposed the two kidnappings so you can see what's similar and what's different.

Initial entry:

What's the same: In both cases, one criminal breaks in through the back while the other comes in through the front door. In the film, Carl breaks in through the back while Gaear breaks in through the front door. In the show, Munch comes in through the back, Ireland enters through the front door.

Point of divergence:

Film: Jean just gawks at Carl like a complete idiot and doesn't react until he breaks the window. Gaear then manages to almost subdue her when he comes in, but she manages to bite his wrist and runs upstairs, intending to hide in the bathroom and try to use the phone to call 911. The kidnappers then follow her upstairs (and also so Gaear can look for ointment).

Show: Dot immediately races upstairs, and hides in the bathroom to lie in wait for the kidnappers. She even uses the yarn she was knitting with as bait to draw them to the bedroom.

Victim getting caught in the bathroom:

What's the same: In both cases, the kidnappers realize that their target is hiding in the bathroom. Upon being found, the victim tries to flee, but ends up falling down the stairs.

What's different:

Film: Jean hides in the bathroom and tries to call 911 before the phone cradle and receiver are yanked away from her. Gaear and Carl break down the door. They enter, and Carl leaves to check other rooms after initially thinking Jean escaped out the window. Gaear raids the cabinets looking for ointment. As he finds what he's looking for, he realizes that Jean is hiding in the shower. At this, Jean tries to flee, but gets the shower curtain caught around her. Unable to see, she ends up missing a step, tumbles down the stairs and gets knocked out.

Show: Dot lies in wait for her kidnappers. When Ireland opens the door upon realizing where she might be, she immediately burns his face with an improvised flamethrower made from hairspray and a lighter, in other words, giving Ireland the "Harry from Home Alone blowtorch special". 😉 She then similarly brandishes her flamethrower on Munch to keep him at bay while she tries to run, only to trip on a laundry basket and tumble down the stairs.

Subduing victim for good:

What's the same: The two kidnappers come downstairs and check on their unconscious victim.

What's different:

Film: With Jean unconscious, it's easy for Gaear and Carl to grab her and put her in their Cierra to drive off.

Show: Dot was not knocked unconscious by the fall. She plays possum until the kidnappers come downstairs to check on her. As Munch grabs her by the legs, she suddenly grabs one of Scotty's ice skates and uses it to slash Munch's left cheek and taking off part of his left ear as well. The two manage to corner her in the kitchen, and Dot surrenders only now as it's clear she no longer has the upper hand.

Real TLDR of this whole thing: Well, I'll let Munch describe it best. "You say housewife, so I bring one guy. You say tiger... that's a different guy. Cost you three times."
