Complete story — includes the ending

Danish selects three North Dakota men from the Lyon book of debtors, and has them all change their names to "Roy Tillman". Indira discovers her husband in bed with another woman and kicks him out. At the hospital, Witt sees Roy forcing Dot to come with him, but is outnumbered by Roy's men and is unable to help her. Roy takes Dot back to his ranch and restrains her with chains in a barn. He then goes to his debate for reelection as sheriff, only to find the three other Roy Tillmans onstage to sabotage his speech. Roy storms out of the debate, striking the female moderator in the face on the way out. Gator checks in on Dot, who claims Linda is alive, but an angered Gator drives away, unaware Munch is hiding in his car. Witt sees Danish at a gas station and tells him about Dot's captivity. Roy returns from the debate embarrassed and enraged; his wife Karen convinces him to take his anger out on Dot rather than on her. Dot, however, fights back and attempts to kill Roy, but their fight is interrupted upon Danish's arrival at the compound. Danish offers to fix Roy's election in exchange for Dot's return, but Roy kills him. Dot witnesses Roy's men burying Danish's body in a pit underneath a windmill that echos a location in her dream, and realizes that Roy had killed Linda and buried her in the same pit.
