Audio problem: When Carl is being beat up by Shep, Shep is shouting a whole bunch of obscenities and gibberish at Carl, but during several shots where we see his face, the audio is not matched up to what he is shouting.
Fargo (1996)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Starring: Steve Buscemi, William H. Macy, Frances McDormand, Peter Stormare, Kristin Rudrud
Carl shoots Wade because the old man is stubborn and didn't want to hand over the cash (but Wade shoots Carl in the face). Pissed off and heavily bleeding, he buries the money under some snow. Jean is killed by Gaear. Carl gives a bit of money to his Gaear and after briefly talking, he axes Carl. Marge solves the whole crime and arrives at Carl and Gaear's place. Gaear is shoving Carl (what's left of him) in a wood chipper. He runs away; Marge shoots him and then busts him. The police break in to some motel and arrest Jerry Lundegaard. In the end, no one gets the ransom money.

Marge Gunderson: So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper.
Trivia: Note in the end credits that there is the symbol for "the Artist Formally Known as Prince" (a Minnesota native) placed sideways.
Question: I've heard that the kidnappers names are Carl and Gaear. Where in the film is this fact established?
