Go ahead, give yourself a present today! Find out what happened three days

after Agent Cooper banged his head into a bathroom mirror.

This is LONG. To receive an e-mail copy in word perfect format: e-mail me.

THREE DAYS LATER

8:00 AM

The long rectangular table is lined with doughnuts, cups of coffee, opened folders stuffed with papers, and four sweaty pairs of hands. Three pairs on the left side of the table; the other set of hands drum on the right.

"You say, he went behind the curtains?"

"He's already answered that question!"

"I want to ask it again."

"But-"

"That's right, he went past the scorched earth and-"

"Did you see this 'midget' or 'giant'?"

"No, as I've said, I didn't-"

"WHAT?"

"No!"

"SPEAK UP, IF YOU COULD."

"I said, "No, I didn't see anyone!"

"WHAT?"

"He said,'He didn't see anyone!"

"OH. FBI AGENTS DON'T GO SMASHING THEIR HEADS-"

"Where exactly does 'BOB' fit in, Sheriff?"

"I'm not sure, but I believe-"

"I THOUGHT BOB WAS LELAND PALMER?"

"Well, that's not what the Sheriff has told me."

"I believed BOB was Leland too, but Coop-"

"WHERE COULD A MIDGET BUY A RED LEISURE SUIT, HARRY?"

"I don't know, Gordon!"

On the opposite side of the table, the FBI regional bureau chief Gordon Cole sat up, adjusting his external hearing aid, and reached for a doughnut. To Gordon's left, sat FBI Internal Affairs special agent Roger Hardy, next to him, FBI pathologist Albert Rosenfield. The sheriff of the tiny town of Twin Peaks, Harry S. Truman, sat on the opposite side of the table.

HARDY: Gordon! I do not believe midgets buying leisure suits will help our investigation. Now the last time I was here in Twin Peaks, I was investigating Agent Cooper's possible drug running. At that time, I suggested Cooper be given a thorough psycho-analysis. I still believe this to be the case.

GORDON: THAT REMINDS ME, D.E.A. AGENT BRYSON HAS SENT A LETTER SUPPORTING COOP!

ALBERT: How helpful.

HARDY: It is my belief that Agent Cooper was perhaps slowly slipping since he arrived in Twin Peaks. The Palmer girl could possibly have reminded him of Caroline Earle. When Windom Earle arrived, Cooper snapped.

HARRY: Agent Hardy, you have no idea what's really going on.

HARDY: And you do, sheriff? Believing a boogey man, some midget, the Lion, and the Scarecrow and the other characters from Cooper's dreams.

HARRY: I never said 'I believe them'... and I've never said I didn't. But you would have to be a complete idiot to dismiss them after Cooper, Leland Palmer, Sarah Palmer, Madeleine Ferguson, Laura Palmer, and Windom Earle all saw 'BOB' and this world, they called the Black Lodge.

HARDY: Leland was a cold-blooded murderer. Sarah Palmer is under heavy medication. I've already told you that I believe Cooper is crazy. Laura and Madeleine are dead. Windom Earle escaped from a lunatic asylum. And Windom Earle has not been apprehended.

ALBERT: Well, maybe, if we had sent some men to help Coop catch Windom Earle, Coop wouldn't be in this mess!

GORDON: COOP, WOULDN'T CONFESS? CONFESS TO WHAT???

Hardy looked to Albert and then to Gordon. Agent Hardy's stern eyes gave away the signal. Both men sat back in their chairs.

HARDY: Sheriff Truman, did Agent Cooper ever mention a 'Blue Rose'?

A puzzled look crosses Harry's brow. The sheriff takes a long pause.

HARRY: No.

The three G-men exchange a concerned look.

GORDON: THAT REMINDS ME. AGENT SAM STANLEY IS IN SPOKANE. I'M HAVING HIM DRIVE UP. (to Harry) SAM, PERFORMED THE AUTOPSY ON TERESA BANKS.

HARRY: Oh.

Agent Hardy pushes his chair away from the table, and stands up. He pulls up several files and places them underneath his arm.

HARDY: I'm going to the hospital now, to visit Agent Cooper. See if his condition has changed any. Albert, I want you and Sheriff Truman to review Cooper's paper work. I'm having his secretary, Diane, send all his tapes. GORDON, I want you to meet with Col. Reily and Major Briggs on the space transmissions! See if you can find out any more on the Major's disappearance. Gentlemen, we have men combing the woods and one stationed permenately at Glastonbury Grove. Don't worry, Sheriff, we'll catch Windom Earle.

Having finished his speech, Agent Hardy exited the room. Harry, Albert, and Gordon relax a bit. They stand, gathering their things, to exit the conference room.

HARRY: Why does it seem that Agent Hardy is running the show?

ALBERT: Because he is. The pencil pushing, rubber necked, primates who created the chain of command system in the bureau have given Internal Affairs free reign.

Harry nods, although he could not possibly know less about Federal Bureau of Investigations procedure. Harry turned to Gordon.

HARRY: Gordon, why didn't the bureau send help to catch Earle on the fly?

GORDON: YOU KNOW HARRY, I HAVEN'T READ THAT BOOK IN AGES. I WANTED TO SAY IN THERE, THAT I REQUESTED BACK UP FOR COOP. GUESS IT GOT BOGGED DOWN.

ALBERT: In bureaucratic red tape.

GORDON: I'M PLANNING TO ASK SHELLY JOHNSON, ALBERT, HOW'D YOU GUESS?

HARRY: Never mind, Gordon! Good Luck with Briggs and Reily!

Harry and Gordon exchanged the big thumbs up as Gordon turned and exited the Sheriff's Station. Albert and Harry turned and walked down the hallway.

ALBERT: Any word on this bank explosion, Harry?

HARRY: No. Reports say dynamite was inside the vault. We only have two possible witnesses still with us.

ALBERT: Do you suspect robbery?

HARRY: No. It's possible, but I don't think so... Albert, this town has gone to hell in a hand basket over the last month or so, since Laura Palmer's death. The last few days, with this bomb going off inside the bank vault, the town has had a terrible cash flow problem. There's been a run on the bank.

ALBERT: When will you be able to talk to the witnesses?

HARRY: Doc Hayward says today if... you know, Albert-

ALBERT: Don't say another word, Harry. I enjoy weeding through paperwork as much as I enjoy using a sawed-off shotgun for major dental repair.

HARRY: Let's go to the hospital then.

Harry smiles as the two law enforcers, turn and head toward the lobby. Harry stops at the front counter.

HARRY: Lucy, could you... Lucy???

Twin Peaks Sheriff's Station receptionist/secretary Lucy Moran's head pops up from behind the glass, where she had been watching a small television at her desk.

LUCY: Yes, Sheriff Truman?

HARRY: What's happening now, Lucy?

LUCY: Well, I've missed 'Invitation To Love' for the last week, but I believe the twins, Emerald and Jade, have had a cat fight with Alice and Andrea because Chet left Emerald for Andrea, who's just brought Chet nothing but bad luck, like losing the fellowship to Wayne, who's plotting to kill Alice. The detective following Jade is really after the jewels in the hidden city. The gate keeper thinks Chet knows about it, but if he isn't careful in his scheme, Chet may go nuts and get everyone killed for the clue, Emerald's step dad has locked in his safe.

HARRY: [to Albert] Why I ask, I don't know? [to Lucy] Lucy, just tell Andy to get a statement from Donna Hayward, since I won't be here.

Harry and Albert exit out the double doors of the Sheriff's Station and get into Harry's Bronco cruiser. As they pull their seat belts on, Harry turns to Albert.

HARRY: Albert, what did Agent Hardy mean by 'Blue Rose'?

ALBERT: Harry, I love you, but I can't tell you.

HARRY: You can't?

ALBERT: I can't.

Harry digests the fact and starts up the car. They pull out of the parking lot as a cruiser pulls in. Deputy Andy Brennan gets out of his patrol car, and walks into the Sheriff's Station. He sees his future wife, Lucy, at the counter.

LUCY: How's Agent Cooper?

ANDY: He's sleeping, I think. Hawk's guarding him... Do you know where Harry was going?

LUCY: I bet he and Agent Rosenfield are going to the hospital. Sheriff Truman wants you to get a statement from Donna Hayward about Benjamin Horne's accident.

ANDY: Why?

The scene fades into the second floor, EAST WING OF CALHOUN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, where Twin Peaks deputy Tommy "Hawk" Hill stands guard at a door in front of a tall, skinny young man.

YOUNG MAN: Hawk...

HAWK: No.

YOUNG MAN: Ha-a-w-w-k...

HAWK: No.

YOUNG MAN: Hawk, you are obstructing justice... Haven't you ever heard of 'Freedom of the Press'?

HAWK: [laughing] What has gotten into you, DJ? You do one internship with the Seattle Times, and now you think your Bob Woodward.

DJ: Who? Look Hawk, a FBI agent is in the hospital. The public has a right to know why???

Hawk moves in, nose to nose, with the young cocky Dwayne Milford, Jr. Intimidation is a tool, Deputy Hawk has used on more than one occasion.

HAWK: I said 'No' and I meant 'NO'!

Hawk cuts off his speech, to move quickly back to his position at the door, blocking Agent Roger Hardy, who was about to open the door.

HAWK: Sheriff Truman wants no one to enter this room alone.

HARDY: I'm afraid I'm in control here, not your sheriff.

DJ: [to Hawk] Who's this guy?

HAWK: [to Hardy] I have orders. And I'm not going to let you go in alone.

DJ: Hawk, who is this guy???

HARDY: Deputy Hawk, I can have you arrested.

HAWK: [not budging] Maybe you should be trying to arrest Windom Earle.

DJ: [turning to Hardy] Earl, who is this Mr. Windom?

HARDY: Alright deputy, you can come in with me.

DJ: I'll go with him!

HAWK: Come with me, Agent Hardy.

Hawk steps to the side, pushing open the door. Hardy enters the room, as Hawk turns and follows him in. DJ attempts to follow the two in casually, but Hawk places one hand on his chest, pushing him back into the hallway. DJ frowns as the door is locked.

Dejected, DJ turns and walks over to one of the nurse's stations at the end of the hallway. From inside his sports coat, DJ pulls out a small brown package and places it down. And with that, Dwayne Milford, Jr. exits the hospital...

INSIDE THE SMALL WHITE HOSPITAL ROOM OF FBI SPECIAL AGENT DALE COOPER, Agent Hardy and Deputy Hawk pull up some stools next to his bed. Cooper lays in his bed motionless. On a tray pulled over the bed, a half dozen doughnuts and a large cup of hot coffee are positioned to temp the patient. With this sight of Cooper, Agent Hardy seems lost.

HARDY: How badly was Agent Cooper injured?

HAWK: The doctors can only examine his forehead.

In Hawk's own mind, he questions what 'mental' injuries Agent Cooper had taken inside the Black Lodge.

HAWK: A slight concussion and a one inch cut. Cooper has spent most of these past two days asleep though. He must be having some bizarre dreams though.

HARDY: Why is that, deputy?

HAWK: He hasn't touched that coffee once.

Agent Hardy reaches over to a bedside table and turns on a dictaphone machine.

HARDY: Cooper. If you can hear me. This is Agent Hardy, Internal Affairs.

COOPER: [with eyes still closed, barely audible mutter] I know.

Hawk and Hardy exchange a glance. Had he been awake all along? Hawk moves in closer to Cooper and Hardy for a reason he cannot comprehend: fear.

HARDY: Cooper. Do you remember anything from that night? Windom Earle?

COOPER: [as if in a trance] The next time you see him, it won't be Windom.

HARDY: Are you saying Earle escaped?

COOPER: [giggling] Windom went beyond the abyss. He is here.

HARDY: What- [Hardy looks to Hawk quickly, suspiciously] What was in the Black Lodge?

COOPER: I don't know. I've never been there.

HARDY: [upset] Did you see 'BOB'?

HAWK: [to Hardy, shocked] I thought you didn't believe in such things.

HARDY: [ignoring Hawk] Cooper, did you see anything? BOB? The midget? the-

COOPER: He's going to fly the coop... [laughs] Annie saw the door... she could walk through it... The magician wasn't home, he went left... the wrong world entered he... Pull A Ram Ear [pause, his voice drops lower] Agent Jacobs is dead.

HARDY: [sitting up] What did he say???

COOPER: Agent Jacobs is dead... I was there. [laughs] He's been put out to dry... Time to go bye...

Cooper's face loses any signs of animation; he falls back into his sleep. Hardy motions his head to Hawk, and the two begin to exit the room. Cooper stirs.

COOPER: You can tell Harry... BOB's not from around here.

Hawk and Hardy exit the room; Hardy is visibly shaken by what has transpired.

HARDY: Have you ever seen him like that?

HAWK: Never. I think Cooper met evil in Glastonbury Grove.

HARDY: But... How? Could... Agent Jacobs?

HAWK: Cooper's is currently heavily drugged. He hasn't left this room.

HARDY: But if he hasn't left this room, then how could he have know Agent Jacobs was here?

HAWK: What are you saying, Agent Hardy?

HARDY: Jacobs is the agent we have guarding Glastonbury Grove. I... I tried to contact him as I drove over here... I just assumed he was away from his car.

Hardy and Hawk exchange a puzzled look...

Slowly moving away from the two, down the hospital's hallway. A nurse exits a door to the left. INSIDE THE ROOM, Doctor Jacoby, Doc Hayward, and Norma Jennings encircle the bed of Annie Blackburn.

ANNIE: I'm fine.

DOC HAYWARD: [to the others] Annie has no physical problems as far as our tests go.

ANNIE: I'm fine. I'm fine.

NORMA: What's wrong with her?

JACOBY: I believe that she may be experiencing post-traumatic stress from the kidnapping, I mean, we have no idea what Windom Earle did to her after he kidnapped her, therefore resulting in her present condition.

ANNIE: I'm fine.

DOC HAYWARD: Annie, I believe you should be getting some rest.

ANNIE: I'm fine. [giggles] I'm fine. I'm fine.

JACOBY: Annie, do you remember the night of the Miss Twin Peaks Contest?

ANNIE: I'm fine. I'm fine. I-I-I'm f-f-fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.

NORMA: It's me, Annie. Can you say anything else? Please?

ANNIE: I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm-

"Fine" Donna Hayward says calmly as she sits across from Deputy Andy Brennan, in the small, dense, MEETING ROOM OF THE TWIN PEAKS SHERIFF'S STATION. Donna sits on one side of the table while Andy is seated on the other, their views of each other, almost entirely blocked by the mountains of files and evidence, which Harry and Cooper had gone through while battling Windom Earle.

ANDY: Sheriff Truman just wants to know the facts, Donna.

DONNA: About what?

ANDY: Ben Horne's accident from the night of the Miss Twin Peaks Contest.

DONNA: What about it?

ANDY: Well, Doc and Mrs. Hayward, your father and mother, and Mrs. Horne, Ben Horne's wife, say Ben slipped, then banged his head on the mantel.

DONNA: Yes, that's what happened.

ANDY: Oh... but the medical report shows he hit the mantel with his head moving up.

DONNA: He was slipping, that's what happened.

ANDY: Oh... your sisters weren't present, right?

DONNA: Correct.

ANDY: Right?

DONNA: Yes, that's right. What else does Sheriff Truman want?

ANDY: Oh... I mean, well, he just wanted a statement.

DONNA: You have the facts, that's it.

ANDY: Oh, well, [pause] thanks.

Donna stands and turns to exit as something in the room catches her eye. She walks over and examines the small Japanese tree, which Windom had sent.

DONNA: Harold loved this.

ANDY: What?

DONNA: Harold Smith, he loved this Bonsai. You should place it in the cemetery next to him.

ANDY: But this tree isn't Mr. Smith's.

DONNA: Yes, it is... it was. He showed it to me one day when we had a picnic. He kept it right by his front door. Harold called it 'Little Laura'.

ANDY: J'ai une achete solitaire.

As Andy and Donna stare down at the midget tree...

Out in the LOBBY OF THE SHERIFF'S STATION, Richard 'Dick' Tremayne stands outside Lucy's desk. Lucy speaks into her phone headset.

LUCY: Dick, what's a seven letter word - water mammal? [Dick throws his arms up in disgust] Oh, try 'Manatee', Agent Stanley! [pause] It does. Great. [pause] Yes, I'll tell the sheriff as soon as I get off the phone! Goodbye, Agent Stanley.

DICK: Lucy, how much longer must I wait?

LUCY: [punching the phone] Sorry, Dick. That was just Agent Sam Stanley of the FBI! He's running a little late and it's important that I get his message to Sheriff Truman as soon as possible.

DICK: Impressive. Lucy, the reason I've come to see you today is-

LUCY: Sorry, Dick. I've already decided that no matter who the natural father of my baby is, I want Andy to be the father.

DICK: Lucy, I'm not here to win you back.

LUCY: [disappointed] You're not.

DICK: No. Though the idea is tempting. No, it seems that someone has stolen several tape recorders from the Horne's Department Store storage room.

LUCY: When?

DICK: Well, the timing is in question, since as you know, I deal in men's fashion. Normally Emory Battis, the general manager, would take care of such things. But with his untimely death, and Mr. Horne's accident, I seem to be in charge. As far as we can figure, the tape recorders were stolen sometime during the last ten days. Who took them? It's a mystery.

LUCY: Sheriff Truman probably won't have time to solve your 'mystery', but I'll see if Andy can take a statement.

Just then, Andy comes running around the corner. Dick holds up his hands to stop the running deputy.

ANDY: Not now, Dick. Lucy, I've got to find Sheriff Truman.

DICK: Lucy, you've made a 'wise' choice.

But Andy is gone, running out the double doors of the Sheriff's Station, just as the entrance bell at the DOUBLE "R" DINER chimes. Bobby Briggs enters. Bobby stops dead in his tracks when he notices his father, Major Garland Briggs, and Col. Reily seated at the end of the counter.

MAJOR: Robert, I didn't know today was a school day vacation.

BOBBY: It's not Dad, this... is just a lunch break.

Bobby smiles and quickly moves to the opposite side of the counter to his girlfriend, waitress Shelly Johnson.

BOBBY: Alright, Shelly, I'm here. What's the problem?

Shelly picks up a shoe box from behind the counter, and places it in front of Bobby. Lazily, Bobby removes the top, to find inside a Bewick's Wren, covered in blood, dead. It has been shot several times. Bobby catches a whiff of the odor, and pushes the box away.

SHELLY: It came in the mail, this morning.

BOBBY: Who sent it?

SHELLY: Who do you think?!? Leo! Bobby, you've got to be with me tonight.

BOBBY: Shelly, I would if I could, but-

SHELLY: Bobby, how can you say that?

BOBBY: But... [pause] Look, why would Leo have sent a dead bird?

SHELLY: He wants me dead, Bobby! Don't you see, he's-

Before Shelly can finish, Mike Nelson, Bobby's best friend, bursts into the diner.

MIKE: Bobby! We've got trouble.

BOBBY: What do you mean 'trouble'?

MIKE: I mean, Andrew Booker trouble.

Bobby stands up. Shelly can't believe it.

SHELLY: Bobby!

BOBBY: [grabbing a napkin, he scrawls out a phone number] This is the number of the pay phone at school. You can call me between history and science at one o'clock. I'll come right over after school.

Mike and Bobby move toward the door as Agent Gordon Cole enters the diner carrying a dozen roses in one hand. Bobby turns back to Shelly, but Mike drags him out. Gordon makes a beeline for Shelly, handing her the flowers.

GORDON: A ROSE IS A ROSE! BUT NOT ONE THORN ON YOUR TRUE BEAUTY!

SHELLY: Remember, I can hear you. Keep it down...

GORDON: Oh, I'm sorry. Shelly, it's been a painfully eternity since I last saw your face.

SHELLY: Well, it's only been a week.

GORDON: Not to me, dear. I'm afraid I've business now, but perhaps later, I could stop by for some pie?

SHELLY: Please do. And bring some agent friends.

GORDON: Alright. [turning] LOG LADY! HOW ARE YOU!

Margaret, the Log Lady, is shocked by the loud outburst.

LOG LADY: I was just fine!

GORDON: WHAT?

LOG LADY: I said: 'I'm fine'!

GORDON: SUPER!

Gordon gives her the big thumbs up. He spins on his stool from the counter, and bounces over to the booth where the Major and Col. Reily sit.

GORDON: COLONEL REILY AND MAJOR BRIGGS, I PRESUME. GORDON, GORDON COLE, REGIONAL BUREAU CHIEF F.B.I. SORRY, I'M LATE, BUT I HAD TO PICK UP SOME FLOWERS FOR MY LITTLE HEARING AID. [Gordon sits next to them] NOW, WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT SPACE TRANSMISSIONS?

REILY: I'm not sure we should speak about classified information here.

GORDON: MIGHT NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT HERE.

MAJOR: We could try the Sheriff's Station.

GORDON: I SUGGEST THE SHERIFF'S STATION.

Shelly walks up to their booth, with a coffee pot in hand.

SHELLY: Coffee anyone?

GORDON: Yes, please.

MAJOR: Thank you, yes.

REILY: No thanks, I don't like coffee.

The Double "R" diner is completely silent as all eyes fall upon the non-coffee drinking Col. Reily.

LOG LADY: You're not from around here, are you?

REILY: Well no. [feeling uneasy being the center of attention] I just don't like coffee.

LOG LADY: You're like my husband. Coffee turned his hair gray.

Reily finds no comfort in that fact, since he is already bald. Reily picks up his hat and motions to Cole and Briggs. Gordon follows Reily quickly out the door, but Major Briggs hangs behind as Shelly comes over.

MAJOR: Mrs. Johnson?

SHELLY: Yes?

MAJOR: Well, I'm not sure if this is my place, but I notice you and my son, Robert, are rather close friends.

SHELLY: Yeah, Bobby and me are, I guess.

MAJOR: Well, I suppose I should tell you... when I was abducted by the chess murderer, Windom Earle, I was being held prisoner with your husband.

SHELLY: What? Leo was a prisoner?

MAJOR: Mrs. Johnson, you're husband, Leo, and I were chained to a wall, fighting for our lives. Leo was able to reach the keys and he released me. I believe by doing so, he saved my life. [pause] As he did so, Leo said to me, 'Save Shelly' 'Save Shelly' [pause] I just thought I should tell you.

With that, Major Briggs stands and exits as Shelly is left puzzled and touched by her husband's gesture. Into the diner, a young strong athlete, wearing a Twin Peaks High varsity jacket strides.

ATHLETE: Waitress, could you bring out those meals I ordered to my car...

Back in COOPER'S ROOM IN CALHOUN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, Harry and Hawk listen to the dictaphone machine. It plays out Cooper's cryptic message from earlier.

From dictaphone: "the wrong world entered he... Pull A Ram Ear [pause] Agent Jacobs is dead." "What did he say???" "Agent Jacobs is dead... I was there. [laughs] he's been put out to dry... Time to go bye... [pause] You can tell Harry... BOB's not from around here."

Hawk stops the tape.

HARRY: That was weird. Has Coop said anything else?

HAWK: Not a word.

HARRY: Hawk, did Cooper ever mention a 'Blue Rose'?

HAWK: No. Does it have something to do with what he said?

HARRY: I don't know. These rumblings on this tape. It's puzzling.

COOPER: I can't explain it.

Stunned, Hawk and Harry turn to see Cooper sitting up in bed.

HARRY: Coop, how long have you been with us?

COOPER: Long enough to hear that tape. Harry, I don't remember saying a thing on that tape.

HAWK: What about the mirror?

COOPER: Mirror?

HARRY: Three days ago, you slipped and cracked your head against the mirror in your Great Northern hotel room. Doc Hayward and I had to bust in the door to the bathroom, and we found you laughing. Shortly afterward, you passed out. Coop, you've been here in the hospital asleep for three days.

COOPER: [feeling his forehead] That's funny. I don't remember that either. Those mutterings I said on that tape must be my subconscious memories from the Glastonbury Grove incident.

HARRY: Do you remember that night of the Miss Twin Peaks Contest? The Black Lodge?

COOPER: Harry, if I'd reached the Black Lodge, I wouldn't be here now. I remember a series of identical, interconnecting rooms. The midget was there, and so was the giant. I believe they act in similar roles, except one for evil, and one for good.

HARRY: Do you remember Annie? Earle?

COOPER: I never saw Annie. Windom... My God, poor Windom-

HARRY: What?

COOPER: As I was exiting, I saw BOB... he took Windom's soul. We've got trouble.

HAWK: Is Windom Earle still alive?

COOPER: No, but... when I said,'The next time you see him, it won't be Windom', it's because the next time we see Windom, it will be BOB. Harry, there's no telling what evil will occur. [pause] I've got to get out of here.

HARRY: Hold on now Coop. You've been out cold three days, the doc was never sure what was wrong with you. You need rest.

COOPER: Harry, Combine Windom Earle, BOB, the Black Lodge, and we've got problems of epic proportions. Windom Earle was a problem I brought upon the community of Twin Peaks. Until he is out of commission, I will have no rest.

Bursting into the room, Albert is taken aback by an awake Coop.

ALBERT: Well, and on the third day, he rose from the dead. Nice of you to drag me back to Happy Valley again, Cooper.

COOPER: Albert.

HARRY: How's Annie doing?

ALBERT: She says she's fine. About four hundred times in a row in fact. Annie is visiting Ga-ga land this spring break.

COOPER: It's my fault. I should see her.

ALBERT: Coop, unless you want to push her over the edge; you should stay away.

A loud hiss emits from a walkie-talkie, Albert is wearing on his belt. Albert pulls it to his mouth.

RADIO: 19 to 30. Do you read me?

ALBERT: 30 here, go ahead 19.

RADIO: Albert, we need you here NOW. Agent Jacobs was found at Oh-nine, forty-eight. He was dangling from a tree limb [static] Someone [static] possibly Earle hung him in the last seventeen hours. [static]

ALBERT: What's your twenty?

RADIO: [static] Ten miles, north east, Highway J. Agent Hardy will meet you at the turn. Ten-four.

ALBERT: Ten-four. [places the radio back on his belt] Things are getting crazy around here.

HARRY: Hawk, get Cooper's clothes from the nurse. [Hawk nods and exits] This is only going to get worse.

COOPER: I'm afraid so, Harry. Albert, get moving and look for sheets of torn paper.

ALBERT: It's good to have you back, Coop. [exits]

COOPER: Harry, I'm worried about that tape; Agent Jacobs, Windom Earle, PULL A RAM EAR... I might...

HARRY: What?

COOPER: It's just... I need a mirror.

HARRY: Coop, I'd be nuts to let you near a mirror-

COOPER: Harry, my forehead is not moving. I promise.

Not exactly sure, Harry moves a partition and slides a curtain, so Cooper can see a large mirror hung above a sink in a corner of the room. Cooper lifts himself out of bed, and walks over to the mirror. He stares at his reflection, puzzled by his own appearance.

HARRY: No worry, there's no toothpaste.

Cooper searches his own face for... what? Cooper gives up his investigation and turns back, while doing so catches a glimpse of a reflection in the mirror of a blue jeans jacket... Cooper spins around; looking at an open window. Nothing. He spins back to the mirror. Nothing. Had there been anything?

HARRY: What?

COOPER: Nothing. I'd thought-

HAWK: [entering the room] Here are your clothes, Agent Cooper.

COOPER: Thanks Hawk. Harry, we should get back to the Sheriff's Station, now!

HARRY: Sure, but first I've got to question Audrey Horne about the bank explosion.

COOPER: Bank explosion?

Cooper throws on a shirt, as Deputy Brennan burst into the hospital room. Andy has been running, and is terribly out of breath.

ANDY: Sheriff Truman, Hawk, Agent Cooper, I-uh-uh-uh

HARRY: Andy sit down, you're hyper-ventilating.

Andy sits on the edge of the bed, trying to collect himself.

ANDY: I w-w-was talking t-t-t-to D-Donna about B-Ben H-H-H- Horne's acci-accident.

COOPER: Accident?

ANDY: She... She said the pl-plant was H-H-H-H-Har-Har-Har

HARRY: You mean the bonsai tree, Earle sent? Yes, it's mine.

ANDY: NO! It's H-H-Harold Smith's! Whew!

COOPER: [rushing to Andy] Harold Smith, Windom Earle! Agent Jacobs...

HARRY: Coop, what are you saying?

COOPER: Andy, Hawk, Harry. Harold hadn't hung himself! He had help!

ANDY: How?

HAWK: Huh?

In ANOTHER HOSPITAL ROOM, Jerry Horne is seated bedside of his bed-ridden brother, Ben.

JERRY: How are you, big brother? How's the old noggin'?

BEN: I told you, I'm fine. Now quit stalling, what's the news?

JERRY: Sylvia wants a divorce, Ben.

BEN: [looking down; shaking his head] Wouldn't you?! I tell you, Jerry, she's not the same girl I married for her father's money.

JERRY: I thought you married her because she was pregnant with Johnny?

BEN: That was reason Number Two. You try... try to do something good... and look what happens... I suppose Sylvia wants everything?

JERRY: Do you want the 'good news' or the 'bad news'?

BEN: I could use some good news about now?

JERRY: [looking down to his note pad] She wants the store, the Pearl Lakes property, the shares of stock, half the yearly profits of the Great Northern Hotel, and a $100,000 settlement.

BEN: Jesus, Jerry, what's the bad news?

JERRY: She's not asking for custody of the children.

BEN: Huh, they might hinder her ability to shop. The children... Jerry, how are they? Is Audrey-

JERRY: She's just fine, Ben. She's just two doors down, and they're about to release her. She had handcuffed herself to the vault of the bank, and the handcuffs saved her life.

BEN: Yes, well... Oh God, Jerry. How's Donna Hayward?

JERRY: Calm down, she's fine. At this very minute, Donna's up at the Great Northern, taking care of Johnny.

BEN: Has Will spoken to her yet?

JERRY: With you, the Bank, and the Miss Twin Peaks disaster, I don't believe Doc Hayward's had time.

BEN: Time... How can he tell Donna that he's not her biological father?

The door to Ben's room swings open and a nurse comes bouncing into the room.

NURSE: Mr. Horne, a package arrived for you.

She hands it to Ben. It is the package which Dwayne Milford, Jr. had left at the nurse's station earlier. Ben hands it to Jerry, and Jerry begins tearing the package open.

BEN: Be careful, Jerry, it could be a 'present' from Sylvia.

Upon opening the box, Jerry is shocked... he hands the small box to Ben. Ben pulls an index card from the box, which reads:

ROADHOUSE

TODAY 3:00

BE THERE OR ELSE

Ben and Jerry exchange a stare as Ben squeezes the box's other content; a small domino...

INSIDE THE ROADHOUSE, policemen and lawyers rustle about. Seated at the Bang Bang Bar's farthest end, Hank Jennings and Dwayne Milford Jr. plot.

HANK: Are you sure Ben Horne got it?

DJ: Yes. Hank, what the hell's going on? You never told me you were up on a murder charge!

HANK: You didn't ask.

DJ: Where's my hit?

HANK: Not until Ben Horne shows up.

DJ: What?! You owe me!

HANK: I don't owe you. Who took care of you, Dwayne, Jr., huh? Me!

DJ: What do we do when Mr. Horne arrives?

HANK: We? We do nothing. You leave. Meet me at the Double "R" diner at midnight, I'll have your stuff.

DJ: Hank, why do you have to tonight? Wait until-

HANK: I'll be a free man tonight, and you'll be served. Now beat it.

DJ leaves the bar, as Hank sucks on his lucky domino key chain. The black in Hank's leather jacket fades into the dark ceiling of TWIN PEAKS HIGH SCHOOL'S BOILER ROOM. Bobby and Mike stand under the lone light source, a 40 watt bulb hanging low on a cord from the ceiling.

BOBBY: This is nuts. What does Andrew Booker want anyway?

MIKE: What do you think? When he told me, he looked as pale as a ghost.

BOBBY: I'm missing economics. I don't have time for some screw up, who-

Bobby's cut off as a wooden baseball bat crashes across his chest. Mike tries to turn, but receives a similar hit. Bobby and Mike land in a pitiful pile as they gasp for air.

Andrew Booker, Twin Peaks High's all-star offensive tackle stands above them. Andrew is the PERSON WE SAW ENTERING THE DOUBLE R TALKING TO SHELLY EARLIER. Andrew takes the bat and smacks the light's cord; making the bulb swing back and forth. He rubs the letter of his Twin Peaks High varsity jacket.

ANDREW: I thought I'd take up a new sport.

BOBBY: What in the hell do you want?

ANDREW: Oh turkey- Bobby Briggs speaks to the screw-up.

MIKE: I think my ribs are cracked.

ANDREW: Well, I guess then I have your attention. Now, let's see... you're missing economics... how about you supply my demand. Rabbit!

BOBBY: Andrew, listen, Leo Johnson's long gone... How can we get any cocaine, huh?

ANDREW: Leo's not gone, why Shelly said she received a present just today, in the mail from him. [laughs] Moose!

BOBBY: You leave Shelly alone!

ANDREW: Afraid that isn't part of our trade talks. Look at my hand... [he raises his hand, which trembles greatly] so shaky, I'm surprised I could shoot that bird... Shelly told me she liked it.

BOBBY: What?

ANDREW: She said so as I was slamming her in my car trunk... This will be a barter, ya see. I get cocaine; Shelly gets no pain.

BOBBY: You don't have her!

ANDREW: [reaching into his jacket pocket, pulls out a napkin] I believe this is the number for the pay phone at school. You told her to call you today... Now you get me some snow, or Shelly will have an economic embargo sized headache. 10:00 tonight. Under the bleachers or else... Just remember, you're the one who got me addicted. Ha Ha. Owl.

Andrew raise the bat and with a mighty swing, destroys the light bulb.

Harry and Cooper sit in the BASEMENT OF THE SHERIFF'S STATION, going through boxes labeled: Evidence.

HARRY: Lord, Harold had a lot of junk. Cooper, what are we looking for anyway?

COOPER: Harry, we're looking for something that connects Harold Smith and Windom Earle.

HARRY: Why do you think there is a connection?

COOPER: Because of what Donna Hayward said about that plant, 'Little Laura' and because Harold was hung.

HARRY: What do you mean?

COOPER: Windom Earle's deadliest weapon is his mind. While Windom was in prison, two prisoners in neighboring cells were found hung; just days before they were to be released from the asylum. The man who Windom claimed to have taught him chess died from hanging. Now Agent Jacobs.

HARRY: But-

COOPER: Harry, nothing in these boxes have any personal attachment to Harold Smith. We know nothing of his past. Something must tell us or-

Cooper stops mid-sentence as he notices something inside one of the boxes. Cooper reaches in and pulls out a small, sharp knife.

COOPER: I thought so.

HARRY: [taking the knife from Cooper, noticing some letters on the knife's handle] Holy Smokes. W.E.

COOPER: Windom Earle. The weapon Windom used to stab me and kill Caroline was never found. Windom probably mailed this to Harold Smith minutes after attacking us.

HARRY: Hold on, Coop. One - the evidence clearly shows Harold Smith committed suicide. Two - why would Windom send a knife to Harold? Three - how did you know Harold would have it? and Four - what was the relationship between Harold and Earle?!?

COOPER: One - he did, but with a push. Two - as a threat. Three - because Windom wanted us to find it. Four - you've answered your own question. [Harry reacts puzzled]. Harry, I know this doesn't make sense yet, but with 'BOB' in Windom Earle, Agent Jacobs is the first of many victims that we can expect. [pause] Now, what else did you find?

HARRY: [examining his finds] Well, five water hoses, a tape deck, several coffee cans used as flower pots, money belt, red loafers, and a small transistor radio... I suppose Harold wanted to talk to someone.

COOPER: Or listen to someone.

HARRY: What's our plan, now? I've got Hawk combing the woods for the cabin Earle held Major Briggs in, and Andy's questioning the bomb survivors.

COOPER: I'm not sure. Windom Earle will-

Cooper is cut off by Gordon's voice blasting from a speaker phone.

GORDON: COOP! YOU AND HARRY BETTER GET UP HERE, PRONTO! REILY AND BRIGGS HAVE SOME NEWS ABOUT THE SPACE TRANSMISSIONS, WHICH WILL TURN YOUR SOCKS INSIDE OUT!

Minutes later, Cooper and Harry in HARRY'S OFFICE across from Reily, Briggs, and Cole.

REILY: Project Blue Book's first Twin Peaks connection came some thirty years ago. Fighter pilots would lose contact with the base while flying over this area late at night. Transmissions would interfere with cockpit radios. Those transmissions were believed to have come from outer space, although now we are not so sure. They could have come from electro-magnetic fields in high mountain regions.

MAJOR: These transmissions are how Col. Reily and I became involved.

REILY: That's true. Combined with several claims of mystic unidentified objects being reported, the Air Force set up a special division of Blue Book to the north of Spokane. Discreet investigations in Twin Peaks proved no one knew anything about the transmissions, though some less reliable sources claimed some religious indian magicians were at work. The transmissions problem reached an apex in the mid to late sixties when they disturbed airlines.

BRIGGS: This is when the FBI joined in, and Windom Earle came. We rarely saw him, because, at that time, we worked on a technical side of the problem. He worked on a personal side.

REILY: Of all the agents sent, Earle was the only one to investigate the supernatural rather than extra- terrestrial causes. He was intrigued with the notion of evil. Windom Earle desperately wanted to find 'evil' and destroy it. I believe he once told me his parents were killed in a hotel fire.

COOPER: That's correct. Windom was only eight. He was being pulled out, when he saw the ceiling collapse on them.

BRIGGS: A terrible experience.

REILY: Windom talked with the natives, spent long days walking alone in the woods. He investigated the occult here and in Canada.

COOPER: Is that where he fell in love?

REILY: Yes, a local girl. Bizarre girl, she was. I believe Earle met her in a cult. Windom was becoming more difficult to control and even more difficult to believe. He would tell stories of monsters, and witches, and fire-

BRIGGS: - and the Black Lodge.

REILY: Yes. Finally, he was pulled from the project.

GORDON: WE PULLED HIM. HE WENT ON R AND R FOR EIGHT MONTHS. HE CAME BACK FINE. COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BETTER.

REILY: Earle had love twist him into knots. Once he was gone, he could forget about her and return to normal.

HARRY: What happened to the girl?

REILY: That we don't know.

COOPER: I believe she'll be found in a small unmarked grave in Camptown, Canada.

REILY: Why do you believe that?

COOPER: Because that's where Harold Smith's mother is reportedly buried. She died in childbirth. Left him the house he lived in.

HARRY: Holy smokes. How did you figure this out?

COOPER: Guesswork. Harold Smith had not personal items because he grew up alone, in Boston, with a nanny his father, Windom Earle hired. After Windom married Caroline, Harold was sent here to the house where he died. The blood type of Harold's father, I'm reading this from Harold's birth cerificate, matches Windom's. The timing of the birth matches the period Windom was here.

BRIGGS: What does this mean?

COOPER: Very little in the big picture, I'm afraid.

GORDON: TELL COOP AND HARRY ABOUT THE SPACE TRANSMISSIONS.

HARRY: TransmissionS?

BRIGGS: The plane radio interference ended around 1969. Project Blue Book stayed on, as a monitor of the heavens above, in an unofficial capacity.

REILY: We still received signals, which I am unable to discuss here, but for the most part, we received jumbled mess. Until about two years ago.

BRIGGS: In a routine sweep, we picked up signals from the woods around Twin Peaks.

HARRY: Ghostwood National Forest?

REILY: There, as well as other places. Some scrabbled junk; some cryptic messages.

COOPER: Like the one, Major Briggs showed me.

REILY: Yes, but we have noted two others in the last month. One as recently as March 9th: HOLD THIS RAM. There was, of course, the message we showed Agent Cooper: THE OWLS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM, which we received March 2nd. And a third message dates back to February 23rd: PULL A RAM EAR.

COOPER: What?!?

REILY: Pull A Ram Ear.

HARRY: Coop, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

COOPER: Yes. Laura Palmer was killed on the night of February 23rd. I was shot by Josie Packard on the second. Madeleine Ferguson was killed the 9th. Gentlemen, I believe it's safe to say, taking in this new information, we are dealing with a whole new ball of wax...

AT CALHOUN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, Pete Martell sits up in bed with mouth open wide, and a painful expression on his face. Deputy Andy Brennan is at his side, puzzled.

ANDY: Do you want something?

Pete remains in his silent, painful-looking pose.

ANDY: Are you in pain?

Pete's mouth remains open, as if silently screaming.

ANDY: Should I get the nurse?

CATHERINE: You idiot, you've put your notebook down on his injured leg!!! [closing the door behind her, as she enters]

ANDY: Oh. [he removes the notebook] I'm sorry.

PETE: [grimacing] That... That's alright, Andy.

ANDY: The doctors say you're able to be questioned. You know, about the bank explosion?

PETE: That's right. I was right there when it happened. Reminded me of the time, Bobby Joe Noe and I were on Iwa Jima. Bobby Joe accidently set off a grenade in the mess tent. I remember because after it went off, we called it the 'mess' tent. Catherine, do you remember Bobby Joe?

CATHERINE: No.

PETE: Yeah, Bobby Joe Noe.

ANDY: Was he in the bank?

PETE: No, Noe wasn't. Andrew... Andrew... dear sweet Andrew. The last thing I remember is Andrew jumping on top of me. He covered me, and he... he saved my life.

ANDY: Andrew Noe?

PETE: No, Andrew Packard.

ANDY: Oh... but he's dead?

PETE: Of course he is, now.

ANDY: But Andrew Packard died in a boating accident years ago.

CATHERINE: No, he didn't

PETE: I had thought he did.

ANDY: Then who placed the dynamite in the bank?

PETE: Thomas Eckhardt.

CATHERINE: But he's dead.

ANDY: Of course he is, now.

PETE: Uh, Andy, could you come back a little later; I promise I'll explain it to you then.

Out of confusion, Andy simply nods and walks out of the room. Catherine walk over to a window.

CATHERINE: [tearful] My poor brother, Andrew. Well, this time I've really lost him. He's probably fighting with Thomas and Josie in hell... I... I can't go on-

PETE: Now honey, Andrew loved you. Hell, he saved my life, and I loved him like a brother. Course, when I married you, he became my brother. Well, brother-in-law. It just seems that curiosity killed this cat. Now, Andrew loved you because you are a fighter. And of course, cause you were his sister. Andrew wouldn't want to see you quit.

Pete lets his words sink in, then he shrugs and reaches to the side table to grab the day's newspaper. A man enters, without knocking, carrying a briefcase.

MAN: Mr. and Mrs. Martell?

CATHERINE: Yes, what is it that you want?

MAN: I'm H.T. Burger, Attorney. I've come to inform you of the will reading.

CATHERINE: What will?

BURGER: Why Andrew Packard's, of course.

CATHERINE: My brother's will has already been read.

BURGER: You mean the old will, which was read after he faked his death. I'm sure a court will overturn that one. This is his new, true will.

CATHERINE: I don't believe it!

PETE: [squeezing the newspaper] Why I don't believe it! Catherine, get Andy back in here quick!

CATHERINE: What on earth for?

PETE: Just do it!

Catherine leaves the room, and returns seconds later with Deputy Brennan.

ANDY: What is it, Mr. Martell?

PETE: Look at this!

Pete shows Andy, the Twin Peaks Gazette, with his finger on a clearly marked ad:

W. Knight takes B. Queen

Check. - W. E.

DEEP IN THE WOODS, Deputy Hawk pulls the Police cruiser to one side. He gets out and follows another set of tire tracks on foot. Hawk sees a small cabin ahead in the woods. He draws his gun. He moves to the cabin door; throws it open; quickly covering the room with his pistol. Hawk turns in disgust when he sees the bloody body, covered in spiders.

BACK IN THE SHERIFF'S STATION, Harry and Cooper listen to their radio. Hawk is calling in.

HAWK: [over radio] Harry... Harry... He's dead. [static] He's dead.

HARRY: [into radio] Is it Earle? Is Windom Earle dead?

HAWK: [over radio] No... Windom Earle's cabin, but he's long gone...

COOPER: [into radio] Hawk, is it Leo... Leo Johnson?

HAWK: [over radio] No... No... it's Agent... it's Agent Hardy! He's been stabbed. Agent Hardy's dead!

IN EARLE'S SECRET CABIN, the body sits up, somewhat trapped between several boxes. Stabbed repeatedly in the upper torso. Spiders crawl over the body. Through an open window, an owl can be seen perched on a tree branch. From another place, a hideous laugh echoes in the woods repeatedly...

TWIN PEAKS

1:00 PM

The door to THE CABIN is covered by a yellow slip - CRIME SCENE - DO NOT CROSS. Past the door, inside the hideout, flashes from camera lights explode, men dust for fingerprints. Forensic experts examine blood spots on the floor. To the immediate right, Gordon, Cooper, Hawk, and Albert stand, watching the covered body of Agent Roger Hardy being carried out.

GORDON: ...REPORT THIS TO NOW TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS. I'LL NEED YOUR FINDINGS QUICK, ALBERT. IN FACT, I'LL NEED THEM YESTERDAY.

Gordon Cole walks away, as Hawk turns to Cooper.

HAWK: Where's Harry?

COOPER: He's with Col. Reily and Major Briggs. Honestly, Hawk, I feel that the FBI brought Earle and this pandemonium, and the FBI should place things back in their proper accord. Harry has a bank explosion to solve. I don't want him to forget his responsibility to this community. I'll find Windom Earle.

HAWK: Alright. [pause] Remember your back up if necessary.

Hawk rubs a finger across the side of his forehead. The Bookhouse Boys signal. Hawk then turns and leaves.

ALBERT: Cooper, what do you want first? The bad news or the worse news?

COOPER: The worse.

ALBERT: Evidence shows Agent Hardy was killed here. That means Earle either held a gun on him or-

COOPER: Or Agent Hardy came here on his own.

ALBERT: Exactly, and I believe, probably true. Agent Hardy was stabbed, as you could guess, just as Earle stabbed you and Caroline back in Pittsburgh.

COOPER: The questions are now: How did Agent Hardy know where this was? And why did he come here? For that matter: Where is Leo Johnson?

ALBERT: Here's two more: How did Windom Earle get all this equipment? [Albert motions to all the technical equipment lining the cabin] This computer, the weapons, the bug Windomn Earle planted in the Bonsai tree... this is all-

COOPER: All Federal Bureau of Investigations' equipment, I know.

ALBERT: At Agent Jacobs body, I found the sheets of paper you were looking for. [He hands them to Cooper]

COOPER: From Laura Palmer's secret diary, which Harold Smith had. I... I wonder...

ALBERT: What?

COOPER: I wonder if they helped me catch Leland Palmer to avoid my stumbling on to something else... In Glastonbury Grove that night, Leland's spirit said he hadn't killed anyone.

From outside the cabin, an agent calls to Albert and Cooper.

AGENT: We found their tracks outside!

Outside, they stare at two sets of footprints, which head out in opposite directions.

COOPER: [pointing down] These tracks toward town are from Leo Johnson. The dragged feet suggest at least one of those deadly spiders in there got him. He might not even be still alive. The other tracks are from Windom Earle, heading toward White Tail Mountain. Albert, grab a team and follow Earle's tracks.

ALBERT: Where will you be?

COOPER: Back at the Sheriff's Station, I want to- ...Do you smell something?

ALBERT: No, what?

COOPER: [pause] Nothing... Gather up your team?

Albert returns to the cabin. Cooper moves to his left, pushes past several bushes and tree limbs, and then swiftly turns his head upward. An owl sits on a branch high above him. The owl stare back into Cooper's eyes.

"Hey there, little boy..."

Cooper spins toward the voice. BOB is on all fours, dancing like an animal between the trees. BOB pulls a pack of matches from his back pocket.

"Wanna play with fire, little boy?"

AT THE DOUBLE 'R' DINER, Bobby and Mike attempt to question Heidi the German waitress.

MIKE: This isn't working, Bobby.

BOBBY: Shut up, man. Now Heidi, Where is Shelly?

HEIDI: Ya?

BOBBY: Is she gone?

HEIDI: Ya. ya.

BOBBY: Where did Shelly go, Heidi?

Big Ed Hurley burst into the diner quickly, and walks up to the boys surrounding Heidi.

BIG ED: Heidi, where's Norma?

HEIDI: Ya, Ya. Boontiba. Coffee?

BIG ED: No. Do you know where Norma is?

HEIDI: Ya.

BOBBY: Look Ed, why don't you go back to the grease, monkey?

MIKE: Lay off him, Bobby. [pulling Ed aside] Have you found Nadine, yet?

BIG ED: No, she's disappeared that night. Nadine's probably right mad with Norma, you and me. It may be a while before we see here again.

HEIDI: Norma's at the hospital and Shelly left.

BOBBY: What did you say?!

HEIDI: Ya.

Big Ed turns and exits the diner. Bobby grabs Mike by the arms.

BOBBY: Andrew Booker's got Shelly, and we've got to do something...

AT THE GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL, Donna Hayward sits on the floor of Ben's office, with Johnny Horne. Johnny has a walkman on with the headphones buried into his long dark hair. He also wears his tall indian feather cap. Johnny and Donna have toy buffaloes and horses to play with.

DONNA: We don't seem too different. I'm certainly glad to have a brother. I grew up around two younger sisters. I guess you know about younger sisters. They look up to you, when you're the oldest. So you pretend to be an adult, you know, have all the answers. All you really want is to be is the baby in your parent's arms again. [pause] Well, now that I know you're my brother, I guess I'm no longer the oldest. [pause] You have a nice smile, Johnny.

JOHNNY: [yelling] Indian.

DONNA: That's right, Indian. Ha. Laura told me she liked visiting you. I wish I had come then. I could have known my big brother... It doesn't make much sense, my birth... Why? Your dad was married. Mom was dating my dad, I suppose. It just doesn't make sense.

Donna begins to cry. Behind her the door swings open, as Dwayne Jr. backs into the room, his arms holding a pile of rubber buffalos.

DJ: Okay partner, today we can- [he stops upon seeing Donna] Uh, hi... Hi! You must be Mrs. Rhodes' substitute, huh?

DONNA: [wiping the tears] She's not coming today.

DJ: Is everything okay? I mean... uh, I don't suppose- uh she told- uh, you about me?

DONNA: No.

DJ: Oh, uh, I'm Mr. Monster, I mean, Mr. Mustard, no, uh- I'm Johnny's tutor.

DONNA: Aren't you Mayor Milford's son?

DJ: That's right, I'm Mr. Milford, uh, Dwayne Junior. And you are...?

DONNA: Donna. Donna Hayward.

DJ: You're Doc Hayward's girl! Right, the oldest right? [Donna nods] Gosh, I go away to college and look what happens... Everybody grows up. Well, uh, Donna, shouldn't you be in school? You're still in school, right?

DONNA: Yeah, I'm a senior. But I'm taking the day off to be with Johnny.

DJ: You don't have to do that... I'll take him off your hands. Go have fun! A pretty girl, like you, should be out and about. I think I remember when I was a senior, you were on the sub-freshman cheerleading team, right? Uh, you should be out cheering.

DONNA: I should call Ben to-

DJ: No, that's alright. You run on, I'll call him.

DJ walks over to Donna, and helps her stand up. He places an arm over her shoulder and leads her to the door. A puzzled Donna follows.

DONNA: I shouldn't just leave, Johnny-

DJ: It's alright, Donna. I won't say a word to Mr. Horne. Perhaps if you want to spend some time with Johnny, I could bring him over tonight, and we could, uh, go have dinner somewhere? The Double R? [DJ opens the door, and motions Donna out] You guys still live over on Church Lane?

DONNA: Yes.

DJ: Great! Eight O'clock. [DJ swings the door]

DONNA: Eight? [the door shuts in her face]

Outside in the hallway, Donna stands; looking at the door, she somehow ended up on the wrong side of. Shrugging, she turns and walks down the hallway into the hotel's lobby. In the lobby by the concierge desk, Audrey Horne leans on a crutch. The two girls exchange an awkward glance from across the lobby. Donna approaches her recently, discovered sister.

DONNA: Hey... Are you alright?

AUDREY: Yes... it was quite an experience... Imagine being knocked out and waking up a few minutes later waking up across the room, chained to the vault door, lying in a pile of money. [pause] I'm okay... they just want me to stay off this ankle.

DONNA: Great... do... do you know?

AUDREY: Yes, I know. My mother visited me yesterday and told me.

DONNA: I-

AUDREY: My mother is asking my father for a divorce.

DONNA: I'm sorry. I, I...

AUDREY: It's not your fault. [pause] Your mother and father?

DONNA: They... they haven't said anything. Dad, well, he's been working at the hospital non-stop. My mother... she took my sisters out of town... I suppose she's trying to tell them.

AUDREY: Why didn't they tell us?

DONNA: I really don't know who I am anymore. And... and I'm bitter and mad at all of them.

AUDREY: I came here, as soon as I heard you were meeting your older brother.

DONNA: Yeah, Mayor Milford's son is in there taking care of him now.

AUDREY: DJ!?!

DONNA: Yeah, what is it?

AUDREY: He... he was with Johnny that night!

DONNA: What are you talking about?

AUDREY: Back when I was, like six, Johnny and Dwayne Junior went camping...

DONNA: And?

AUDREY: That was the night of the big forest fire. We lost our family cabin up on Pearl Lakes. That's the night, DJ burnt down the entire north side. Dad forbids DJ from ever seeing Johnny.

Donna is taken aback with this news. Donna helps Audrey as they move through the SECRET PASSAGE. Audrey finds and removes the loose sideboard. By doing so, the two can see into Ben's office. DJ and Johnny sit on the floor, surrounded by a pile of audio cassettes.

DJ: I give you all these tapes and you forget to label them?! There's no way in hell, I'm gonna be able to listen to all of them. Ha. Wait until the cops find out we swiped all those tape recorders from your dad's store. We'll be in jail.

JOHNNY: I... I sorry.

DJ: That's okay, buddy. But you got to think!

AUDREY: [whispering to Donna] Johnny just made a sentence. He hasn't made one in years!!! He hasn't spoken in years.

DJ: You would make one horrible reporter; I mean, you didn't even think to put one in Agent Cooper's room... What do we have? [DJ picks up a tape] A guy cheating on his wife.. [he picks up another] Two high school kids making out and talking about deep sea fishing... Here's one, a woman who thinks she hears screaming from her dresser drawer knob. What could I use at the Gazette, huh?

JOHNNY: Try better, I will-

DJ: Look, it's alright. I mean, that was our first test. We should be proud of a woman with a talking drawer knob... I think graduating from junior college has ruined my immaturity.

JOHNNY: Like Donna?

DJ: You mean, Doc Hayward's girl, who was just in here. She's pretty. I tell you, first you get Laura Palmer, she gets killed and you get another pretty teenager. Teach me your secrets.

JOHNNY: You like her.

DJ: Drop it, Johnny. I said she's pretty, alright. You know, your little sis turned out okay. [DJ walks to Ben's desk and takes a picture of Audrey] Remember when she had all that baby fat. Huh?

JOHNNY: Indian brave.

DJ: Yeah, I remember that. You'd play Indian Brave, I'd be Cowboy Bill, and I'd have to rescue her from the stake. Remember when your mom found out we were tying Audrey to the coat rack.

JOHNNY: Fun.

DJ: Fun? My dad spanked me so hard! Audrey used to run up and pinch me and call me 'Sneaky.'

JOHNNY: Right name.

DJ: Yeah, those were the days. Before your pop banished me...

JOHNNY: Not your fault.

DJ: Great, tell me. Why don't you ever tell anybody else? I might not have been the crucified child.

JOHNNY: People, I saw... Fire. Owl.

DJ: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think a lot of people saw fire, ha! I tell you, I didn't see anything... Just that moon-

JOHNNY: Indian.

DJ: Please! Why don't you talk to anybody else?

JOHNNY: Laura, I talk. Laura talk.

DJ: Yeah, you talked to Laura Palmer, big deal. Look what happened to her! I suppose I'm next. Those people you saw that night, I bet they helped that crazy old nut Palmer kill her, huh?

JOHNNY: Kill me, if thought... I thought.

DJ: You're full of it, you know that.

JOHNNY: Meet tonight. They will.

DJ: Don't even try it! The last time, you dragged me through the mud, no one was there!

JOHNNY: Wind strong. Strong.

DJ: No, NO! The answer is 'no'. I've gotta be somewhere tonight at midnight. I repeat: no!

IN ANNIE BLACKBURN'S ROOM AT CALHOUN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, Sheriff Truman speaks with Doc Will Hayward.

DOC: Pete Martell, Audrey Horne, and Ben Horne.

HARRY: They've all checked out?

DOC: Yes, and you can throw into that list, Agent Cooper. With the exception of Audrey, they all checked out without their doctor's permission. Plus, I was just talking to Jacoby. That man, we were holding for you in the psychiatric ward, Gerard escaped.

HARRY: The one-armed man escaped! Why now?

ANNIE: [from her bed] I'm fine. I'm fine.

HARRY: How... how's Annie?

ANNIE: I'm fine.

HARRY: How's Annie?

ANNIE: I'm fine.

HARRY: Well I'll be. It's almost like-

DOC: Like she's answering what Cooper was babbling after he smashed his forehead into that mirror.

HARRY: Yeah.

DOC: I'll be here throughout the day... if you need me.

Doc Hayward exits out of the room, as Annie's sister, Norma Jennings enters.

NORMA: Harry!

HARRY: Norma. How have you been holding up?

NORMA: I'm holding. How's Agent Cooper? Is that why you're here?

HARRY: He's fine.

ANNIE: I'm fine.

HARRY: Listen Norma, the town's been a wreck since the bank explosion and the Miss Twin Peaks blackout. I've been swamped and I forgot to tell you about today.

NORMA: What about today?

HARRY: Hank's trial begins today. Hank's back in town. You need to be at the Roadhouse at five.

NORMA: He's going to be set free- I know it. He is!

HARRY: Norma, calm down. There's no way, Hank-

NORMA: Hank's too smart... He'll trick them! He'll come back!

HARRY: [placing his arms around her, to calm her down] You'll be safe. Hank's being charged with the attempted murder of Leo Johnson and charged with drug dealing less than a month after being released from prison. There's no way Hank could even make bail. He's going to prison, I'll see to it.

NORMA: [almost crying] If he gets free... he'll kill me.

Norma buries her head into Harry's chest. Placing a hand on her chin, Harry turns her head upward, so their eyes can meet. Harry moves in slowly; short pecks to her lips. Norma pulls him closer as the two embrace passionately. Suddenly, Norma pushes away. Harry's eyes are spinning

HARRY: Oh my God. I'm sorry... I don't know-

Behind them, the door opens, as Big Ed Hurley enters the room. Harry and Norma let their hug slide. Seeing that Norma has been crying, Ed misunderstands their holding and walks over to her. Ed gives her his own big hug.

BIG ED: Don't you cry now, Norma. Annie will be just fine.

ANNIE: I'm fine.

With this, Norma bursts into tears again. Harry moves uneasily to the door.

HARRY: I... I've got to... work. I'll see you at the Roadhouse at five, Norma.

Harry leaves.

BIG ED: What's wrong?

NORMA: Hank's back.

OUTSIDE IN THE HALLWAY, Truman meets up with Colonel Reily, Major Briggs, Doctor Jacoby and Deputy Andy.

HARRY: Jacoby, what's the prognosis?

JACOBY: I believe with the correct stimulus, we can hypnotise Major Briggs into recalling his disappearance a few weeks ago, camping with Agent Cooper.

MAJOR: Windom Earle kidnapped me to find this information about my disappearance and it's connection to the Black Lodge. Hopefully, we can discover if I told him anything important.

REILY: We've briefed Doctor Jacoby on the top secret nature of this work.

HARRY: Good. [to Doctor Jacoby] Will Hayward says that Gerard, the one-armed man, has disappeared.

JACOBY: We had him in a locked, padded room. Somehow, our one- armed friend got out.

HARRY: I really didn't need that kind of news. Andy, have you talked with Pete Martell? What's the word on the bank?

ANDY: Thomas Eckhardt, who's dead, planted a bomb to kill Andrew Packard, who's dead.

HARRY: Josie!

MAJOR: What?

HARRY: Nothing, I just seem to be running in a circle. [talking to himself] Josie, Leland, heck Laura, who'd have guessed about them? They all revolve around this creature: 'BOB'.

JACOBY: Bob?

HARRY: These things fit into a puzzle, like those old word jumbles. Did Cooper ever mention 'Blue Rose' to any of you? [the group shakes their heads 'no'. Pause] Then this morning, Coop said, 'BOB's not from around here.'

REILY: That's funny. I was told the same thing earlier today.

HARRY: What do you mean?

REILY: Some woman with a log. She said I wasn't from around here because I didn't like coffee.

HARRY: The Log Lady. Did she say anything else? About owls?

REILY: No. Well, she did say her husband didn't like coffee. It turned his hair grey.

HARRY: His hair grey?

Somewhere in the back of his mind, Harry has several horrible possibilities running around. Harry moves away from them in a trance. He runs for the door.

HARRY: Go on with the hypnosis without me.

ANDY: But Harry-

HARRY: Not now, Andy. [Harry is gone]

JACOBY: Laura Palmer once mentioned a man named "Bob".

REILY: [to Andy] Deputy. Start working on those space transmissions. I understand you solved the Owl Cave carvings. Now break the code of those messages.

MAJOR: Pull A Ram Ear...

AT THE ROADHOUSE, Jerry Horne paces from side to side behind his brother, Ben's, wheelchair.

JERRY: Where is he? He's not here. [pacing] He's not here. [pacing to other side] He's not here.

BEN: Jerry, do I have to get this in stereo?

JERRY: Where is he? It's three o'clock.

BEN: He'll be here. Hank's not stupid.

"Well, thank you."

Ben and Jerry spin around to see Hank Jennings sitting at their table. Hank shows no signs of the pounding he received courtesy of Nadine Hurley. Hank is all smiles.

HANK: It's good to see you guys... It's been a while.

BEN: What in the hell are you doing back in town?

HANK: I knew you'd be glad to see me.

JERRY: How's prison, Hank? I hear it's much more enjoyable the second time around.

HANK: Well, I wouldn't really know.

BEN: I suppose they don't send cocaine dealers to jail anymore?

HANK: Of course, they do. But not when the charges are dropped. You see, all they had on me was circumstantial. A photo of me with a crooked mountie, that's all.

BEN: What about your former partners?

HANK: Well, Jean Renault is dead, may he rest in peace. Dudley Do-right is pleading, get this, not guilty. So he can't afford to testify against me. And Ernie Niles, my father-in-law, has decided to protect his family... position. I'm in the clear.

BEN: Congrats Hank, really. Now what do you want from me?

HANK: Well, there is one other tiny problem. I'm being charged with the attempted murder of Leo Johnson. Now they don't have a weapon or a motive pinned on me, but they do have an eye witness. Leo was about to bury an axe in this witness' skull when I shot him.

JERRY: You!... [lowering his voice, controlling his anger] You said Leo was chopping wood in his house when you shot him! You idiot!

HANK: I made a mistake, sorry. Now this witness, who's life I saved because Leo was going to axe him into pieces, was very shaken at the time, and he could possibly have fingered me incorrectly.

BEN: And why do you believe that?

HANK: Because, you two are going to pay this witness a large sum of money to say that. Or else, I'll give the prosecution a motive, of why I might have attempted to murder ole Leo. Course when they find out the Horne brothers paid me to kill Leo, they'll ask why? Next they'll discover it was to cover up the fact that you paid Leo to set fire to the mill. Then I'm sure certain land schemes will be open to the public. The two of you will be facing what, murder, arson, fraud-

BEN: You think they'll believe you, Hank? Confessed vehicular manslaughter.

HANK: Well, audio tapes don't lie. [Ben and Jerry move uneasily] I taught Leo the same trick. Now this witness, Bobby Briggs, had better be here at five to clear me. Or else.

BEN: You want us to change his mind in two hours?

HANK: You better get going.

Hank stands and moves to the bar. Ben violently turns his wheel chair toward his brother, Jerry.

BEN: I've tried to be good. To live honestly, truthfully. And in less than a week, I've destroyed the Hayward family, received divorce papers, and now I'm being blackmailed. Jerry, go to the hotel, get all the cash from the safe. I'll find young, Bobby.

Ben spins his wheel chair around, and rolls out of the Roadhouse. Jerry watches him go, then moves to Hank at the bar.

JERRY: What in the hell do you think you're doing?

HANK: Watch it, Jerry, this place has about four officers in here to protect you from me. [laughs] I have to be out tonight, don't I? Are you going to be there, big boy?

JERRY: [grabbing Hank's arm] You watch yourself or you'll be found hanging in Mr. Blotcher's barn too.

HANK: [pushing the smaller Jerry off] I'll see you tonight, Jer. Woo, Woo.

The White Tail Falls show a slow, passage of water, of time. Located on the high cliff next to the falls, the GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL rests, a proud landmark of Twin Peaks. In the HOTEL ROOM #315 of Agent Cooper, the door is being unlocked. Dwayne Jr. and Johnny Horne enter the room.

DJ: [calling] Room service! Good, he's still in the hospital. Now the plan: you stand in the hallway at the corner, if you see Agent Cooper or anyone else suspicious, scream 'indian' at the top of your lungs.

JOHNNY: Indian.

DJ: Good. Now this will take me at least five minutes to get set up in the air vent. If you see somebody, delay them.

JOHNNY: Indian.

Johnny leaves the room, as DJ locks the door behind him. DJ proceeds to jump on the bed; pulls out a screwdriver from his back pocket, and loosens the screws to the air vent above Cooper's bed. With the cover loosened, DJ slides a small tape recorder into the vent.

Suddenly DJ turns his head quickly, as the door is being unlocked. DJ drops the screws, and ducks under the bed to hide. Agent Cooper enters the room wearing a devilish grin. Cooper moves to his night table and picks up his personal tape recorder.

COOPER: Diane, it's three-thirty-eight P.M. Cooper and Robert have the same amount of letters. And don't I have a letter under my ring finger [laughs] The magician doesn't know what he's missing. Oh yes, oh yes, Unguin will be here tonight. The owls are ready to take flight.

Cooper's keen eyes notices a screw on his bed. He looks around, heightening his senses.

COOPER: Fe-fi-foe-fum. The giant smells a-

Cooper is cut off by a knock at the door. He walks over and opens it. Audrey stands on the other side; towels in her arms.

AUDREY: Hi, uh, I'm here to inspect the bathroom. [giggle]

COOPER: I'm so very glad to see you, Audrey.

AUDREY: Great. Why don't we go into the bathroom, and see how the new mirror is?

Audrey leads Cooper into the bathroom and shuts the door behind her. From the hallway, Donna sneaks into Cooper's room.

In the bathroom:

AUDREY: Well, what do you think?

COOPER: Perfect.

Cooper stares into the mirror, but the reflection he sees back is not his own. Grinning back is the evil 'BOB'.

Outside in the room, Donna looks under the bed.

DONNA: [whispering] Come out, quick.

DJ slides out from underneath the bed and hops up, making a slight thump. Inside the bathroom, Cooper hears the noise. He turns from the mirror and steps out of the bathroom; blocking Donna and DJ's escape.

COOPER: What are you doing here?

The two freeze in a guilty state, then:

DJ: I'm Dwayne Milford, Junior, from the Twin Peaks Gazette. I, uh, understand you slipped and bumped your head on a mirror here. [Cooper looks on, silently] Well, we, at the paper, are, uh, going undercover to discover if the, uh, Great Northern Hotel is at fault. Now that you know about us, uh, guess the story's dead. We'll be leaving.

COOPER: [serious] Don't go yet. [smiling] Why Donna, we never got a chance to finish our dance.

DJ: Too bad, she's got to leave. [DJ pushes her out the door] Ms. Horne, if you could help us.

AUDREY: Certainly. [to Agent Cooper] I'm sorry. Ice Cream later?

DJ places an arm around Audrey, and leads her past Cooper into the hall. Cooper watches as Donna grabs Johnny, and the four disappear around a corner. On the opposite end of the hallway, an extremely tall room service waiter turns the corner.

WAITER: Fell a victim.

Cooper turns an angry frown toward the old waiter, who continues down the hall. Cooper returns to his room, and the screw on his bed cover. Looking upward, Cooper stands on the bed, and easily removes the tape recorder placed inside the vent.

"GET DOWN FROM THERE, COOP. IT'S TIME TO FLY"

Cooper spins on his bed, to see Gordon Cole standing in his room.

COOPER: What is it, Gordon?

GORDON: NO I'M NOT WEARING ANY MAKE-UP. COOP, ALBERT'S TEAM HAS FOUND WINDOM EARLE. WE NEED YOU BACK AT THE SHERIFF'S STATION. LET'S MOVE!

COOPER: [softly] Uh-oh. [louder for Gordon] Lead the way!

GORDON: OF COURSE I KNOW THE WAY!

Cooper hops off the bed, leaving the tape recorder on the mattress. The lawmen exit the hotel.

IN BEN HORNE'S OFFICE AT THE GREAT NORTHERN, Audrey, Donna, Johnny and DJ meet.

DJ: Thanks for getting me out of there. I heard that he was a little odd, but that Agent Cooper's nuts.

AUDREY: We should have let you been caught. Bugging rooms!

DJ: I can explain!

DONNA: You can explain using Johnny, and not letting anyone know he could understand.

DJ: Well, uh. [pause] So dinner's off tonight, huh?

AUDREY: [taking Johnny aside] Johnny, I'm your sister, you should have come to me.

JOHNNY: No one talk to me. Alone. [Johnny begins to sob]

AUDREY: [also in tears] I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

DJ: That night... the night of the fire. After what happened, your dad already thought he was retarded. But then with us going out, and the fire starting. Everybody blamed us. I think it makes sense that Johnny hasn't been talking.

AUDREY: You did start that fire!

DJ: No, I didn't! Neither did Johnny!

DONNA: Johnny, you talked to Laura?

JOHNNY: Filled with secrets. Loved her. The ring... They took her.

DONNA: Who's 'they'?

JOHNNY: Meet tonight. Close. Here.

DJ: He doesn't know what he's talking about. That night of the fire, he claims to have seen 'them.'

JOHNNY: They real. Here now.

DJ: Right, I suppose you saw them, instead of yelling when you saw Agent Cooper coming back to his room.

JOHNNY: He not come down hall...

As Johnny is talking, a pair of hands cover up the peephole from the secret passageway...

IN THE BACKYARD OF THE BRIGGS' HOUSE, Mike and Bobby are down on their knees, digging a hole behind some shrubs.

MIKE: Are you going to tell me why we're doing this?!?

BOBBY: Look man, Andrew Booker is crazy and he's got Shelly.

MIKE: We don't know that for sure.

BOBBY: He's got her, alright!

MIKE: Well suppose he does, there's no way we are going to get cocaine! Leo's gone!

BOBBY: [pause] There's a place in Low Town. Leo took Laura and I there once...

MIKE: I don't want to know anymore. Well, when we get there, how are we going to pay for it? The safe deposit box went sky high when the bank exploded.

BOBBY: That's what we're digging for.

MIKE: You buried money?

BOBBY: No...

Bobby thrusts his shovel down into their pile. A 'clank' ensues as the shovel hits a metal object. He quickly clears the dirt and pulls from the ground, a rusty metal lunch box.

Bobby holds the lunch box in his hands, which begin to tremble. He drops the lunch box and begins to cry.

MIKE: What is it? Bobby?

Mike picks up the lunch box and opens it. Inside is a small handgun. Although he knows none of the facts, Mike understands exactly why Bobby has begun to cry.

MIKE: I'm sorry, man.

BOBBY: [sobbing] I was high on cocaine, with Laura... Jesus, I had totally forgotten. I can't believe it, like it was a dream. I tried to blank my mind...

"Bobby"

The two high schoolers stand to see Ben Horne, in a wheelchair, parked in the Briggs' driveway. The two drop their shovels and walk over to Ben.

BEN: [seeing Bobby] Are you alright?

BOBBY: [wiping the tears away] Yes, Mr. Horne. Do you need something?

BEN: Yes, but I think we should discuss it alone.

BOBBY: This is Mike Nelson, he's okay.

BEN: Yes, well, hello Mike. Well, let me say, Robert, that you are a fine young gentleman. And I have a proposition which could earn you a large amount of money. Today. [the boys smile]

BOBBY: Mr. Horne, Mike and I find ourselves in a desperate need of cash. I'm ready to do anything you need.

Bobby, Mike and Ben smile, with an uneasy agreement already reached...

AT CALHOUN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, Andy, Col. Reily, Major Briggs, and Doctor Jacoby sit on the floor in his office.

JACOBY: There doesn't seem much more we can do.

MAJOR: I'm sorry I couldn't perform.

JACOBY: No problem. Several people are immune to hypnosis. I've tried every trick in the book. You're disappearance will remain in your little gray cells.

REILY: This is the first time I've heard you mention of a hooded guardian, this 'Dweller on the Threshold'.

BRIGGS: I remember that Agent Cooper had mentioned that he saw a hood and cloaked figure when I vanished.

JACOBY: Who is this person, Major?

BRIGGS: I believe... he may be our only hope.

JACOBY: When Sarah Palmer asked to see you the day after the Miss Twin Peaks contest, she felt a power, a force. She might be able to help.

REILY: [pause] How's our puzzle coming, Deputy?

Andy sits indian style and stares at a sheet of paper in front of him. On the paper:

PULL A RAM EAR

THE OWLS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM

COOPER

HOLD THIS RAM

IN THE HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM, Doc Hayward holds Norma's hands.

DOC: I fear Annie might not come out of this, unless we do something now. Norma, what can you tell me of Annie's health, including her mental health.

NORMA: She's always been so quiet. I was so much older, and she just kept to herself. Mainly she read books. Of course, there was that time you saw her before.

DOC: Yes, when she was in high school, or just out. Annie had slit her wrists. Did she ever talk to you about it?

NORMA: She had a broken heart. She wouldn't tell me much.

DOC: Did she ever mention who the boy was?

NORMA: Handsome young devil. He used to live around here. Perhaps you remember him, John Justice Wheeler.

"Jack," Audrey cries as she hops on her bad ankle through the LOBBY OF THE GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL to greet him.

AUDREY: What are you doing back so soon?

JACK: Careful girl, flying to Brazil and back in a five day period has turned my legs to gelatin.

AUDREY: I can't believe your here. [kissing him] I missed you so much.

Across the lobby, Donna, DJ, and Johnny watch the happy couple. Dwayne Jr. is fuming.

DONNA: Who's that?

DJ: John 'Justice' Wheeler. How'd he and Audrey become so close?

DONNA: You're face is turning red.

DJ: Huh?

DONNA: You're so jealous that your face is turning red.

DJ: Jealous? Please. I'm not jealous. Really, I'm not.

JOHNNY: Yes.

DJ: I'm not!

Audrey places an arm against Jack and leans on him, as she and Jack walk over to the group. Slowly, DJ places an arm around Donna, who smiles and places an accompanying arm around him. Audrey gives a queer glance, when she sees them.

AUDREY: Uh, everybody, this is Jack, Jack Wheeler. And Jack, you know Johnny, and this is Donna Hayward, and this is Dwayne Milford, junior.

JACK: [with a crooked smile] I remember ole DJ.

DJ: Jack was a few years ahead of me in high school, but we knew each other.

AUDREY: Jack, let me get you a room.

Audrey bounces over to the front counter.

JACK: [leaning over and whispering in DJ's ear] You still using nose candy?

DJ: [back with anger] You still selling it?

Jack flashes his grin, which before now had never shown its evil side. Audrey bounces back and holds Jack's arm.

AUDREY: Can we go for another picnic?

JACK: Not this minute, I've got some business to attend to, but hopefully some time tonight. Walk me to my room.

Audrey and Jack move back across the lobby to his bags. Once there, they exchange a short kiss. In response, DJ pulls Donna in close and kisses her. Audrey watches the spectacle in disbelief. Jack motions to her, and they leave down a hallway. DJ watches them leave with anger... then turns awkwardly back to Donna.

DJ: Sorry about that. It's just, well, I mean...

DONNA: It's alright.

DJ: It's just well, when I was a kid, it's like Audrey was my, well, she was like my dog. And you don't want to see your dog licking someone else, so-

DONNA: It's alright. [she places a finger over his mouth] Perhaps we could practice in case they come back. Sneaky?

DJ: [dazzled by this response] Well, okay.

This time, Donna initiates the kiss. They brake and seem lost in each other's eyes.

JOHNNY: Indian.

IN THE BASEMENT OF THE TWIN PEAKS SHERIFF STATION, Cooper, Gordon, Albert and Hawk peer through the small window in the door into the holding cell.

GORDON: DEAR LORD, DOES HE HAVE A PULSE?

ALBERT: Barely. His mind is sending enough waves to keep his heart moving and lungs working. Otherwise, he's in La- la land.

HAWK: His eyes haven't moved.

GORDON: LOOKS LIKE HE DRANK EIGHT POTS OF COFFEE.

Past the heads, in the holding cell, Windom Earle sits on the floor, propped against a chair. He has his arms around his legs. He does not move.

ALBERT: We had to roll him back here.

HAWK: What do you think, Agent Cooper?

COOPER: Hawk, there is a man who spent his whole life looking for evil. Well, oh boy, he found it.

Cooper laughs wickedly; the others stare at him. Then slowly all eyes move back to Windom Earle.

GORDON: ALBERT, HAS YOUR TEAM FINISHED IT'S REPORT?

ALBERT: I'll have the reports in shortly!

GORDON: GOOD. I'M EXPECTING AGENT HARDY'S BIO ANY MINUTE.

Gordon and Albert move away from the cell, and head upstairs. Hawk turns to Agent Cooper.

HAWK: You said Windom Earle's soul was now possessed by evil. It looks like no soul is here now.

COOPER: Oh, BOB is here. Trust me. [pause] I'm going to see where Harry and the Major are.

Cooper moves around the corner in the basement, pass the shooting range, and down to the storage area. Cooper rummages through the boxes of Harold Smith's possessions, until he finds the knife. The knife Windom had stabbed him with. Pay back time.

Hawk is seated at his post. His concentration elsewhere. From inside the room, the sound of an owl's call. Hawk spins out of his chair. Windom is standing right on the opposite side of the door; peering back through the window at Hawk. Hawk is shocked by Windom, and never sees the wrench being raised behind him. With one swift move, Hawk collapses to the floor. With the keys wrestled from Hawk's belt, the door is opened. The blade of the knife reflects light up into Cooper's eyes, which fade into the eyes of BOB, which in turn fades into Windom Earle's. A pair of feet drag a motionless body outside the cell. Then they collapse. Someone turns the corner. An alarm sounds as a fire exit has been opened. Albert and Gordon come quickly down the stairs, guns drawn. They pull back their weapons upon seeing the cell door open and Hawk and Cooper lying on the floor.

AT THE ROADHOUSE, a large gavel bangs down. Judge Sternwood calls the people to be seated and opens the make-shift courtroom for discussion. District Attorney Daryl Lodwick sits at the prosecution table; looking nervously around the room. Hank Jennings and his lawyer, Wilson Mooney, sit happily at the defense table. Bobby and Mike are seated in the front row of chairs; Ben and Jerry Horne, a few rows behind them. Norma Jennings placed herself in the rear of the room. Big Ed sneaks in the door. In a back booth, an unseen guest smokes a cigarette. Sid, Judge Sternwood's aide, acts as bailiff.

STERNWOOD: Now before we get this show on the road, I'd like to know where Sheriff Harry S. Truman is?

LODWICK: The sheriff called. He had urgent business. His wishes are for us to continue without him. I have a written testimony on behalf of the sheriff, all signed and legal.

STERNWOOD: Very displeasing. Where is Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Lodwick?

LODWICK: Your honor, Shelly Johnson was given a subpena over a week ago and she's probably just running a little late.

STERNWOOD: I see. Now Mr. Lodwick, before I start any formal proceedings, I'd like to know what points of evidence you wish to point out against the defendant?

LODWICK: Your honor, we have an eye witness, who saw the defendant, Hank Jennings, shoot Leo Johnson.

STERNWOOD: I see. And what other evidence?

LODWICK: In as far as...?

STERNWOOD: I mean evidence, a murder weapon, motives?

LODWICK: We have reason to believe business deals between the defendant and Mr. Johnson-

STERNWOOD: Reason to believe? Sid, did you hear that? Reasons to believe. This is a court of law. Mr. Lodwick, have you spoken with your eye witness recently?
