INT. LOG LADY'S CABIN - DAY
Seated at a dining table beside a tea set we see a woman, 'LOG LADY' MARGARET
LANTERMEN. In her arms she carries a wooden log. She is speaking to us.
LOG LADY
Even the ones who laugh are sometimes caught without
an answer. These creatures who introduce themselves but we swear we have
met them somewhere before. Yes, look in the mirror. What do you see? Is
it a dream, or a nightmare? Are we being introduced against our will? Are
they mirrors? I can see the smoke. I can smell the fire. The battle is
drawing nigh.

CUT TO:
INT. PALMER HOUSE - DAY
In the living room, we view a photograph of LAURA PALMER as the homecoming
queen. Our view PANS the room to a sketch that DEPUTY ANDY BRENNAN, using
a charcoal pencil and a pad of paper, is drawing from a description that
SARAH PALMER is giving to him of the frightening man she saw in her vision.
SHERIFF HARRY S. TRUMAN sits in a chair opposite them. DONNA HAYWARD sits
next to SARAH.
SARAH
Yeah, yeah. His hair was long, filthy gray on
gray, long hair.
MADELEINE FERGUSON walks up to SHERIFF TRUMAN with a silver coffee set and
offers him some coffee. He grabs a cup of the tray and looks at her. MADELEINE,
with her long black hair and thick rim glasses, smiles.
SARAH
I saw him ... at the foot of Laura's bed. He looked
like an animal.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
Have you ever seen this man before?
SARAH
No, never. His face, my god, his face. (becomes
upset)
LELAND PALMER enters the room, wearing a robe, looking like he just woke
up.
LELAND
Sarah, did you tell them about the necklace? (SARAH
composes herself) Your gonna love that one.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
LELAND
(holds up two fingers) She's had two visions.
(walks off)
SHERIFF TRUMAN
SARAH
Leland? (walks after him) Leland?
SARAH stops roughly where he was standing.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
She turns to SHERIFF TRUMAN and tells her earlier vision.
SARAH
Its night. A flashlight beam moves across the
ground. A hand, a gloved hand, lifts a rock and takes out a necklace, broken
in half. It was Laura's.
DONNA listens and appears disturbed from the realization of SARAH'S vision.

The INTRO for the show FADES OUT. The show FADES IN to a nerdy looking man,
CHET, with thin greasy hair and glasses, and to EMERALD, a woman with long
hair and wearing a lot of costume jewelry. CHET is seated and EMERALD stands
beside him running her fingers though his hair.
EMERALD
Don't fight it Chet. You know as well as I there's
still something between us. (looks at her greasy hand) There always will
be.
CHET
For god sake Emerald. That may be true but I'm
married to your sister now. It's wrong.
EMERALD
Well, you always said you could never tell us
apart so ...

INT. TWIN PEAKS SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - DAY
In the reception office, we see that it is LUCY MORAN, chewing on a pencil
top, is watching the program very closely. SHERIFF TRUMAN and DEPUTY ANDY
enter the building and walk up to the reception window.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
Morning Lucy. What's going on?
LUCY
Uhh thanks to Jade, Jared decided not to kill
himself and he's changed his will, leaving the Towers to Jade instead of
Emerald but Emerald found out about it and now she's trying to (TRUMAN
and ANDY look at each other in befuddlement) seduce Chet to give her the
new will so she can destroy it. Montana's planning to kill Jared at midnight
so the Towers will belong to Emerald and Montana but I think she's going
to double cross him and he doesn't know it yet. Poor Chet.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
What's going on ... here?
LUCY
Uh, Agent Cooper is in the conference room with
Dr. Jacoby.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
SHERIFF TRUMAN walks off toward the conference room. ANDY moves closer to
the reception window.
ANDY
(softly) Lucy, why couldn't I spend the night
last night?
LUCY
Will you be having coffee Deputy Brennan?
ANDY shies away from LUCY'S cold reply.
CUT TO:
INT. TWIN PEAKS SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - DAY
In the conference room, DR. LAWRENCE JACOBY sits at the long end of the
table with the blackboard, with a map of Tibet, in the background. He wears
a pair of glasses with one red lens and one blue lens. AGENT COOPER sits
at the other end of the table sternly watching DR. JACOBY perform a magic
trick. The magic trick has two white balls between the fingers on one hand.
He taps that hand against his head and one ball disappears. He opens his
mouth to reveal the ball. DR. JACOBY performs the trick twice before COOPER
asks ...
COOPER
Was Laura Palmer seeing you because she was addicted
to cocaine?
DR. JACOBY
Agent Cooper, I'd like to help ya' but uh ...
got a little problem here, uh. Look may-maybe there's some sort of hula
we can do around my doctor / patient confidentiality, huh.
COOPER
It is safe to say she came to you because she
was having problems?
DR. JACOBY
COOPER
Were her problems of a sexual nature?
DR. JACOBY
Agent Cooper, the problems of our entire society
are of a sexual nature.
DR. JACOBY stands up, walks over to the blackboard with the map of Tibet
and looks it over.
DR. JACOBY
Tibet. (smiles) You know, my abiding interests
lie to the East as well but only as far as Ha-vai-i (Hawaii). The ancient
Hawaiians often turn to the soothing rhizome of the ginger plant to ease
the pain of profound confusion. Which, more often then not, was sexual.
COOPER
Ginger is nonaddictive, cocaine is.
DR. JACOBY
Look the-the fact that-that Laura Palmer sought
medication, no matter how dubious, was actually a positive sign.
COOPER
Dr. Jacoby, I understand you cared deeply for
Laura Palmer. Why is it that you won't help us?
DR. JACOBY moves toward COOPER.
DR. JACOBY
My ... own ... personal investigation, I suspect,
will be ongoing for the rest of my life.
SHERIFF TRUMAN enters the room. Now close to COOPER, DR. JACOBY bends slightly
to him and says ...
DR. JACOBY
Laura ... had ... secrets ... and around those
secrets she built the fortress ... that, well that in my six months with
her, I was not able to penetrate and for which I consider myself ... an
abject failure.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
Doctor, did Laura ever discuss Bobby Briggs or
James Hurley with you?
DR. JACOBY
Now they were boys, Laura was a woman.
COOPER
She had sex with three men the night she was murdered.
Were you one of them?
DR. JACOBY looks as if he is going to proudly say yes but sighs and says
...
DR. JACOBY
COOPER
Who killed her Dr. Jacoby?
DR. JACOBY
The night after Laura died, I followed a man that
uh ... Laura had spoken to me about. He was driving a red corvette. I followed
him to the old sawmill road and then I lost him. And that gentlemen is
all I can tell you.
The intercom unit buzzes. LUCY'S voice can be heard over the speaker.
LUCY
Agent Cooper, there's a Gordon Cole on the phone.
He say's your expecting his call. Should I put him through?
COOPER
Yes Lucy, put him through. Thank you doctor that
will be all.
DR. JACOBY heads out but is stopped at the door by a question.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
You'll be in town doctor?
DR. JACOBY
Well, I'm planning a pilgrimage to Pebble Beach
... but that's not till the end of the month. Hang loose howies.
DR. JACOBY gives a hang loose hand sign and leaves the room.
COOPER
Does Leo Johnson drive a red corvette?
COOPER moves to a small table along the wall, picks up the intercom unit
and places it on the table.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
COOPER
How we doing on Jacques Renault?
SHERIFF TRUMAN
There's an APB on him. His brother made bail this
morning. I got an all points on him too.
COOPER composes himself before turning the intercom unit on. The man speaking
over the intercom is GORDON COLE, COOPER'S superior.
COOPER
Harry this is my supervisor. (presses the button
on intercom unit) Good morning Gordon. How we doin'?
GORDON
(over the speaker) Cooper, where do we start?
The Palmer girl or Albert's new best friend, Harry Truman.
SHERIFF TRUMAN, a little worried, walks over to the window.
COOPER
GORDON
Albert has been very busy. The twine he found
in her upper arm is a common household variety, Finley's Fine Twine.
COOPER
And the twine on her wrists?
GORDON
Definitely not a match. No ID yet and those marks
on her shoulders, bird bites.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
GORDON
He'll also be faxing a reconstruction of the plastic
fragment from her stomach.
COOPER
Great, tell Albert we're anxiously waiting his
results.
GORDON
Now for the bad news Coop. I got an OJ and a AFO
here from Albert concerning his mano y mano with the local Sheriff Truman.
Albert wants this guy's badge Coop.
A little agitated, COOPER stands up and becomes rather animated as he talks.
COOPER
Gordon, here's how it is. You know Albert. In
my opinion Sheriff Truman displayed the patience of a saint 'not' clocking
him a day earlier then he did.
GORDON
He wants it filed with the US Attorney.
COOPER
File it under 'F' for forget it.
GORDON
COOPER
And you tell Albert that if he wants to pursue
this I'll fight him all the way up the chain to Washington.
DEPUTY ANDY walks into the room.
GORDON
Cooper? Coop, don't get excited and hang up on
me now.
COOPER
Talk to you later Gordon.
COOPER presses the button on intercom unit to hang up.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
Thanks. I didn't ... get a whole lot of sleep
last night.
COOPER
Harry, the last thing I want you to worry about,
while I'm here, is some city slicker I brought into your town relieving
himself upstream.
ANDY hands COOPER the drawing he produces using SARAH'S description from
her vision.
COOPER
This is the man I saw in my dream.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
COOPER
I had an intuition that my dream and Sarah Palmer's
vision were connected. I didn't go with you this morning because I didn't
want to influence her. I'm a strong sender. (to ANDY) The eyes were a bit
closer together.
The intercom buzzes and LUCY can be heard from the speaker.
LUCY
Deputy Hawk calling in for Agent Cooper.
COOPER picks up a nearby phone.
COOPER
Hawk. (reply over the phone) Right. Stay there.
Follow him if he moves.
COOPER hangs up the phone and turns to SHERIFF TRUMAN and ANDY.
COOPER
Traveling East on highway 12, how long will it
take us to reach the Timber Falls Motel?
SHERIFF TRUMAN and ANDY answer simultaneously.
ANDY
SHERIFF TRUMAN
ANDY
COOPER
Hawk's found our one-armed man.

CATHERINE
There's a drop panel on the top drawer. Not even
Pete the poodle knows about that one. I'm famished.
CATHERINE and BENJAMIN take a sip of wine. We can hear the television program.
MONTANA
(from the television) Let's get one thing straight
I didn't spend the evening busting up the Amazons by dodging blow darts
...
CATHERINE
I suppose room service is too much to expect of
this rusticated mildew farm.

SHERIFF TRUMAN, with his gun drawn, walks up towards the motel room door
where the ONE-ARMED MAN, PHILLIP MICHAEL GERARD, is staying. As he walks,
he passes a timber truck rig full of large tree logs. AGENT COOPER and DEPUTY
ANDY are right behind him. ANDY has his hand on his gun, still in its holster.
COOPER draws his gun and stands behind ANDY. SHERIFF TRUMAN knocks on the
door.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
Mr. Gerard, its the police, open up.
ANDY fumbles with his gun to pull it out of the holster and drops it. The
revolver discharges when it hits the ground. SHERIFF TRUMAN and COOPER jump.
COOPER is furious for the loss of control in a serious situation. He spins
around and shouts.
COOPER
SHERIFF TRUMAN ducks down, picks up the gun and hands it to ANDY.

He picks up his folded clothes off the bed. Unknowingly something falls
out of the pocket of his pants to the floor. CATHERINE notices it. BENJAMIN
wiggles the doll in his hand at her and says ...

in the world.
COOPER
Why have you been at the hospital the past two
days?

There was a Lydecker assaulted three days ago
outside a bar. In Lowtown.

HAWK is on the phone near a bedside stand.
HAWK
Thanks. (hangs up) He's clean, no record, no warrants.
HAWK tosses MR. GERARD'S wallet to SHERIFF TRUMAN, who hands it to COOPER.
COOPER scans it over before handing it to MR. GERARD. SHERIFF TRUMAN gives
HAWK an order.

COOPER
ONE-ARMED MAN
Car accident. I was on the road from Memphis to

good job.
A commotion of rumbling comes from the side of the room. We view ANDY slightly
embarrassed as he fumbled in opening the suitcase causing its contents of
shoes to spill out onto the table and the floor.
ONE-ARMED MAN
That's what I'm selling these days. Everybody
needs shoes.
ANDY
There all for the right foot.
ONE-ARMED MAN
Its my sample case. (picks up a shoe) Yeah, two
day delivery, guaranteed. Oh and we could certainly take care of all your
departmental needs.
COOPER
The arm you lost, did it have a tattoo?
ONE-ARMED MAN
What's this all about? I'm a shoe salesman.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
Settle down Mr. Gerard. He just asked you a question.

The other side of the room is lined with toilet stalls. The walls and doors
of the bathroom are decorated with two red lines that wrap around the room

AUDREY
I've been doing some research. In real life there

DONNA
Maybe you should run away and join the circus.
AUDREY
Escape. I got a better idea. A tall, dark and

of mystery and international intrigue

DONNA
Well I guess that's not such a big secret.
AUDREY
I didn't know Laura half as well as you and I

DONNA
What else have you figured out Sherlock?
AUDREY
The morning of the funeral, Dr. Jacoby is talking
to my brother Johnny, trying to get him to go to the funeral. So he tells
Johnny that Laura's in a better place now blah-blah-blah and he knows that
because ... Laura was his patient.
DONNA
AUDREY
It gets better. You ever heard of One-Eyed Jacks?
DONNA
Isn't that that western with Marlon Brando?
AUDREY
Its a place across the border. They have girls
working there.
DONNA
Are you saying you think Laura was one of them?
AUDREY
I don't know but if its true wouldn't you want
to know about it.
DONNA
Well, it sure'd explain a few things.
AUDREY
You know I think about it ... I think about Laura
being in a place like that and I get all shivery ... but its like a hot
cold. Like when ... you hold an ice cube on your bare skin for a long time.
DONNA
Audrey, I'll help you but whatever we find out
we have to promise to keep it between ourselves. Our secret.
AUDREY
Its a deal ... and I know exactly where to start.

Why? Why did fate deal me this hand?
PAROLE JUDGE #1
You were not incarcerated for an act of fate Mr.
Jennings.
HANK
I accept that ... but it was fate. Maybe, in an

I know I have a lot to make up for. For the life

snorts as it walks by.
COOPER

shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line.
ANDY walks up to COOPER and SHERIFF TRUMAN.
COOPER
Andy, hand me that spool of Finley's Fine Twine.
COOPER briefly scans it and then hands it to SHERIFF TRUMAN. SHERIFF TRUMAN

SHELLY
BOBBY
Leo and Jacques are running drugs across the border,
cocaine. And-and the-they've been selling them at school.
SHELLY
I knew it. I knew Leo was messed up in something.
BOBBY
I think its even possible they were giving drugs
to Laura.
SHELLY
Bobby, I have to show you something.
She walks over to a cabinet, pries off a panel and takes out the bloody
shirt that she had stashed there.
SHELLY
This was in Leo's truck two days after Laura was
murdered.
BOBBY
Are you sure this is Leo's?
She fiddles with the shirt trying to find the collar and reveals 'LJ'.
SHELLY
It has his initials sewn in the collar. He makes
me sew them into everything.
BOBBY
Shelly, ... this ... this could be the answer
to our prayers.
SHELLY
BOBBY
You don't need to know. I'm going to take this,
okay. You never saw this. Say it. I never saw it.
SHELLY
BOBBY
Leo's not going to be a problem for us anymore.
Just stay clear of him, keep quiet.
She moves back to the cabinet, reaches into the stash compartment and pulls
out a gun.
SHELLY
BOBBY
Do you know how to use it?
SHELLY opens the top of her waitress uniform, revealing some lingerie, and
holds the gun to her chest.
SHELLY
I thought you could teach me. Teach me Bobby.
BOBBY lustily stares at her, spits his gum out to the floor and moves to

SHERIFF TRUMAN moves to the reception window to speak to LUCY.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
Lucy, I need you to go through these files and

Agent Cooper I'm so sorry I don't know what happened.
My gun just slipped out of my hand.
COOPER
Well Andy, have you every used your weapon in
the line of duty?
ANDY
No sir, I haven't. I can't explain what happened.
I've been feeling a little high strung.
COOPER
Well, it was lack of preparation. We'll take care
of that.
SHERIFF TRUMAN pokes his head through the open door of the conference room.

COOPER
Laura Palmer's murder was vicious and calculated.
There's no telling what we'll encounter bringing a suspect to ground. After
Andy's mishap at the motel. I want to make absolutely certain each of us
is comfortable and confident with our firearms.
HAWK notices COOPER'S gun before he puts it back in its holster.
HAWK
COOPER
Actually its standard issue. I made a few modifications.
(privately to TRUMAN) How long has Lucy been upset with Andy?
SHERIFF TRUMAN
(points at COOPER) Body language?
COOPER
In this case it was yelling through a megaphone.
ANDY walks in.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
Six rounds a piece to start with Andy.
ANDY
COOPER
Care to tell us about you and Lucy, Andy?
ANDY
SHERIFF TRUMAN
Not to many secrets left around here.
ANDY
She won't speak to me and I don't know why ...
and I don't know why she doing what she's doing. I just can't figure her
out.
COOPER
Well there's no logic at work here Andy. Let that
one go. In the grand design women were drawn from a different set of blueprints.
HAWK
HAWK puts on his ear protection cover.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
The rest also put on their ear protection cover.
COOPER
HAWK confidently and quickly fires his gun at the practice target down the
gunnery range. ANDY has a hard time just holding on to the gun as he quickly
fires. When their finished, the target sheets are retrieved from the distant
shooting area by a motorized line. They all remove their ear protectors
and rest them on their shoulders around their neck. HAWK collects the target
sheets and hands them to COOPER. COOPER checks over the target sheets to
see how they scored.
COOPER
Hawk, six for six. Two kills, high marks. Andy.
(ANDY'S target sheet has no holes) Andy what we need is practice and lots
of it. One hour, three times a week. Harry you'll supply the ordinance.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
HAWK and ANDY walk to opposite sides of the room.
COOPER
Chin up Andy. (nods his head up)
SHERIFF TRUMAN

COOPER
No. I knew someone ... once who helped me understand
commitment, responsibilities and the risks. (pulls out his gun and puts
on his ear protection) Who taught me the pain of a broken heart.
Confidently and without blinking COOPER quickly discharges his gun at the
target. SHERIFF TRUMAN also confidently fires. After firing, the target
sheets are retrieved. They remove their ear protection and retrieve their
target sheets. Before they look them over HAWK says ...
HAWK
One woman can make you fly like an eagle another
can give you the strength of a lion but only one in the cycle of life can
fill your heart with wonder and the wisdom that you have known a singular
joy. I wrote that for my girlfriend.
COOPER
HAWK
Diane Shapiro, Ph.D. Brandice
COOPER, impressed, whistles. He returns his attention to the target sheets.
COOPER
Harry, one miss five hits. Three kills, excellent.
SHERIFF TRUMAN silently looks over COOPER target sheet and then hands it
to HAWK.
HAWK
COOPER
Well I put four through the eyes and one through
each nostril.
We view the target sheet and see two holes where the eyes and where the
nostrils would be in the human form of the target sheet.
HAWK
LUCY speaks over the intercom.
LUCY
Agent Cooper, I'm looking at the files from Dr.
Lydecker's and, for instance, I have here in the 'A's an Arky who's a part
poodle part rottweiler, who lives on Maple and belongs to Mr. Rumple. Then,
for example, I have an Annette who's an otter, who lives with a family
near Elk river.
COOPER
We wanted the name of birds.
LUCY
I know but the files are all organized alphabetically.
SHERIFF TRUMAN
Lucy, go through the bird file.
LUCY
No no you don't understand. Their organized alphabetically
in the names of the pets.
