Why did Malvo kill the contractor in Nevada? He seems to believe Rundle when the latter denies offering any contract on Malvo but then says "it's the principle." I'm unsure if Malvo believes Rundle should have prevented the attempt or if he's just annoyed that Rundle, despite being a neutral party, isn't immediately telling him who to see in Fargo.

On second thought, is Rundle a neutral party? Or, based on the brief phone call between the two earlier in the season, is he Malvo's boss?
