This is the scene that brings the movie full circle, and I consider it here the "ending" to the circuitous events set in motion by the
opening scene. Note the symmetry of cars, cold, and music. I have two versions of the scene below. The first gives almost nothing away; the second does. The only problem with the second one (if you have seen the movie before) is that the sound and picture are a little bit "off."
In any case, here is Marge Gunderson—life poet and supercop.

This is followed by a lackluster "chase" scene and then the
real ending.
Fargo is often remembered for several short, gruesome scenes (notably the woodchipper, which I have never found particularly "gruesome," even though I am a complete wimp when it comes to movie images). The conclusion takes it to a "new level," though. It is hard
not to think of the Coen brothers as sentimentalists in the final scene.
Of all the curve balls in the film, I never saw this coming (and that is entirely a good thing—it is a terrific ending).
