We get a PANNED view of FBI SPECIAL AGENT DALE COOPER'S hotel room. Starting at the bedside table where his gun is located we PAN to see two deer hooves holding up a rifle over his bed, a mounted turkey on a table in the corner of the room, a painting with ducks and to a mounted fish. We hear him before we see him, but DALE COOPER is perched six inches above the floor hanging from an apparatus connected to his boots. He is wearing boxer shorts, a t-shirt and a pair of socks. He is talking into the tape recorder which is sitting on the carpet near his head.

COOPER

COOPER grabs his tape recorder and shuts it off. He then removes himself from the hanging apparatus and stands up. With the tape recorder in his hand he starts it up again.

The sound of LAURA'S voice is now coming from the headphones that he is carrying around in his hands. He then walks over to his fifties-style, Hawaiian-themed rec room and grabs a coconut off a short, fake palm tree. He moves over to a large lounge chair and lays back on it.

LAURA

DR. JACOBY puts the headphones over both ears and and we no longer can hear her voice. As he listens his face registers a whole gamut of emotions. He then opens the coconut, which is actually a stash box disguised as a coconut, in his hand to reveal the gold half heart with the leather necklace inside that was buried under the rock in the woods by JAMES and DONNA. DR. JACOBY lifts the necklace out of the coconut and starts to cry as he continues to listen to the tape.
