Is Satchel Cannon Mike Milligan? 'Fargo' Hints This Popular Fan Theory Is Correct [SPOILERS]

Although FX's Fargo is an anthology series, creator Noah Hawley manages to in finding connections between characters in every season that serve a delightful "ah-ha" moment for fanatics every time. We knew there was once a great opportunity Season 4, which is set in Kansas City, Mo. used to be someway tied to Season 2, which featured the Kansas City mob about thirty years later. How? It all goes again to Mike Milligan (played by way of Bokeem Woodbine) from Season 2, who used to be despatched to Fargo, N.D., by way of the Kansas City syndicate to deal with Fargo's ruling mafia circle of relatives, the Gerhardts. 

In Episode 1 of Season 4 of Fargo, we're presented to the quite a lot of gangs preventing it out and gaining control in Kansas City. One of the ones mobs was once the Irish: the Milligans. They finally end up getting slaughtered by way of the Italian mob, and just one survives. Patrick "Rabbi" Milligan, who kills his own father and finally ends up siding with the Italians. So what and how does all of this have to do with Mike Milligan? As , in case you've been watching Season 4, Black mafia boss Loy Cannon (Chris Rock) traded his son Satchel over to the Fadda family for energy, as is tradition.

And issues are about to get in reality attention-grabbing for Satchel, who is essentially been saved as a prisoner within the Fadda Italian mob house. The only one who cares for his smartly being is Rabbi Milligan, who is been tutoring him in addition to educating him the basics of boulevard smarts. Milligan feels for the boy, since he used to be the one who was once traded no longer once — however two times — by means of his circle of relatives, the Milligans. Self-described as a "child solider," Milligan is unswerving to his circle of relatives — so long as it keeps him alive. But his self-preservation has value him, and how he's an intruder. And he doesn't want that for Satchel. 

Is Satchel Cannon Mike Milligan?

There's a truly just right probability Satchel Cannon is the Mike Milligan we were introduced to again in Season 2 of Fargo. After Satchel is just about assassinated however in the long run saved by means of Rabbi Milligan (Josto, the Fadda appearing boss, ordered the execution to take out the one bargaining chip the Faddas have with the Cannons to purposely get his psycho brother Gaetano killed), Milligan tells him that the 2 need to run, that Satchel is neither safe together with his actual family, nor the Faddas. After the mud settles, Satchel can come to a decision if he desires to return to the Cannons.

We do not understand how Season 4 will play out, but we know that Satchel Cannon's life as been modified, ceaselessly. He knows his father traded him for energy, and he is aware of that this situation just about were given him killed. Both Loy Cannon and Josto Fadda would possibly really well end up dead by the display finale, and Satchel would possibly not even have a selection — he would possibly simply have to carve out his personal long run. And that long run might be operating for Kansas City mob 30 years later, particularly for Joe Bulo (who is in brief introduced in Episode 6, as one of the vital New York Italians sent to help the Faddas). 

It all provides up, we just do not know the way but. And as for a way Satchel is going from Satchel Cannon to Mike Milligan? The Mike section is unclear, however we can see why he's taking Rabbi Milligan's final title — Milligan was once his best true friend and ally, and if anything else happens to Milligan (which it most certainly will), Satchel pays tribute to the man who stored his existence by way of taking his title.

Another clue? Bokeem Woodbine kinda alluded to it again in 2016 although Noah probably hadn't even considered Season Four but. Bokeem instructed HelloGiggles, 

"Mike wasn’t from Kansas City, he was from somewhere up North, where he had family. And circumstances brought him to Kansas City. Some things happened while he was in Kansas City and he displayed a certain aptitude for being able to do things that might benefit people in the Kansas City syndicate. He was vetted and recruited. And he’d been working there for a few years until the events that take place in Fargo."

It's unclear the place the Cannons and Cannon Limited are in the beginning from (we do know they're not Missouri natives), and things *did* occur to Satchel/Mike whilst he was once in Kansas City, so Bokeem's backstory for his personality may just take a look at. 

Fargo airs in FX each Sunday at 10 p.m. EST.
