				ACT ONE

FADE IN:

INT. GREAT NORTHERN DALE COOPER'S ROOM - NIGHT

Through the walls from adjacent rooms we hear whooping and hollering, a blowing of horns
and ratcheting noise makers. It sounds like a rodeo in Times Square on New Year's Eve.
DALE COOPER sits up in bed, distraught, sleepless. From the bedside table, he picks up his
watch and tape recorder.

				COOPER
		Diane, it's 4:28 a.m., I've just been woken up by the
		most god-awful racket, which you can probably hear over
		the sound of my voice ...
			(holds up the recorder to capture the sound)
		Can you hear that?
			(holds it up again)
		I've experienced nothing at the Great Northern up until
		this moment but the most pleasant, courteous service
		imaginable, but this only goes to prove the point that the
		minute a traveler leaves home he loses almost 100% of
		his ability to control his environment. Diane, I'm
		wondering if you could overnight express to me two pair
		of those Ear-Pillow Silicon Ear Plugs I used the last
		time I had to visit New York. Naturally I didn't bring
		them with me on this trip because I didn't think they'd
		be necessary ...

He holds the recorder up again.
							CUT TO:
2.   INT. GREAT NORTHERN DINING ROOM - DAY

Dale Cooper, dressed and slightly bleary-eyed, enters and takes the corner table. Off screen,
through a door to a private dining room, we HEAR a rowdy group of about twelve men and
women singing a bawdy Icelandic drinking song. Harried WAITRESSES come and go out
of the room, bearing huge platters of food. TRUDY approaches Cooper.

				TRUDY
		Coffee? (reaching Cooper)

				COOPER
		Please.
			(she pours)
		What's with the choir practice?

				TRUDY
		Business junket. From Iceland. Got in about three this
		morning.

2.   CONTINUED:

				COOPER
		They're on my floor.

				TRUDY
		Lucky you.

				COOPER
		It'll take them a day or so to reset their biological
		clocks.

				WAITRESS
		Hope the herring holds out.

He holds out his cup for a refill. She pours. The Icelanders start another song

AUDREY HORNE enters, looking for Cooper, brightens, moves to his table.

				AUDREY
		How are you?

				COOPER
		To be perfectly honest, Audrey, I'm tired and a little
		on edge.

				AUDREY
			(sits, saddened)
		Oh.
			(hoping for approval)
		I got a job.

				COOPER
		That's excellent -

				AUDREY
		And I thought maybe now I could help you with your
		case, guess where I'm -

				COOPER
			(finishing, rising)
		You'll have to excuse me, Audrey, I'm running late this
		morning, I only have time for coffee.

				AUDREY
		Maybe I could go with you.

				COOPER
			(leaving change, taking receipt)
		Thursdays were traditionally a school day when I was
                           (more)

				COOPER (CONTINUED)
		your age.

				AUDREY
		I can't believe you were ever my age.

				COOPER
		I've got the pictures to prove it. See you later, Audrey.

				AUDREY
		See you later. Bye.

She wistfully watches him go. Digs her nails into her palms. The Icelandic group finishes
another song and roars with laughter. JERRY HORNE enters from the private dining room,
carrying a small suitcase, laughing, along with the head Icelander, EINER THORSON. Jerry
claps Einer on the back, they shake hands and embrace and say something in Icelandic. Jerry
turns back to the room and yells to the Icelanders inside ...

				JERRY
		My brother is going to love you guys!

Jerry exits the dining room.
							CUT TO:
3.   INT. GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL OFFICE - DAY

BEN HORNE is behind his desk when Jerry hurries in with his bag.

				JERRY
		I bring you greetings from the fertile, treeless tundra of
		Iceland! Brother Ben, there aren't two twigs to rub
		together on the whole island - wait'll these guys get a
		load of the woods!

				BEN
		By six this morning we had complaints from nearly
		every guest in the hotel, what are they on, nitrous oxide?

				JERRY
		I have had more serious fun in two days with these nordic
		animals and Ben, I'm in love, her name is Heba, she's a
		giant snow queen with a smile like sunrise on a ice floe,
		you could go blind looking at this girl - look at this
			(takes a large package out of his bag)
		You see what she gave me? An entire leg lamb!
			(unwraps it; huge and slightly grotesque)
		Is that beautiful? Chunk some garlic in there, some
		crushed mint: rotisserie heaven - come on, you got to
		meet 'her -

							(CONTINUED)

3.   CONTINUED:

				BEN
		Let 'em sack out for a few hours first, now have they
		approved our proposal?

				TERRY
			(refers to the Ghostwood project map)
		Ben, hip pocket,  glasnost on ice, they are insane for
		Ghostwood Estates. We're on the plane, they're begging
		me, "Jerry, please, let us write the check - you fill in the
		blanks."



				BEN
		Let's not be eager beavers until the ink's dry. You grab
		some down time. We've laid in a a gala reception for
		your fair-haired boys tonight - all of Twin Peaks best
		and brightest -

				JERRY
		'We holding it in a phone booth?

				BEN
		- and if we still need a kicker to nail the sale I'm
		thinking maybe they might enjoy a road trip up to you-
		know-where.
			(holds a hand over one eye)

				JERRY
		Jacks!

				LELAND'S VOICE
		B-b-ben?

A haggard, unshaven LELAND PALMER is standing in the doorway.

				BEN
		Leland, what are you doing here?

				LELAND
		I know the new investment group is arriving today ... if
		there's anything I can do ...

							(CONTINUED)






						(Revised 11/8/89, YELLOW)


3.   CONTINUED:(2)

				BEN
		Leland, the best thing you can do right now is follow the
		doctor's orders and go home, you need your rest -

				LELAND
		I just feel ... I just feel I need something, I need
		something to ... to occupy my mind ...
			(close to tears)

				JERRY
			(gestures behind Leland's back)
		Check-out time.

				BEN
		Take some time off, for god's sake, fly somewhere, take
		Sarah -

				LELAND
			(unraveling)
		I'm afraid to go ...

He crumbles into a chair. From the hallway, we hear the voices of approaching
ICELANDERS, singing another ribald song. Jerry nimbly moves to the door and quietly
shuts it. Ben tries to hush Leland's sobs. The singers continue singing, directly outside the
door now. Then they move on ... Ben and Jerry breathe a sigh of relief. Ben points at Leland,
then sticks up his thumb, "get this guy out of here."

5.   INT. JACQUES RENAULT'S APARTMENT - DAY

Cooper enters the apartment and is met by SHERIFF HARRY TRUMAN, who is supervising
the investigation of the apartment. TROOPERS and two FORENSIC COPS in plain
clothes are working. DOC HAYWARD is on the phone.

				TRUMAN
		Morning.

				COOPER
		What've we got, Harry?

				TRUMAN
		Jacques Renault's a Canadian national, worked the local
		lumber fields until he put on a little excess tonnage a
		couple seasons ago. That's when he started tending bar
		at the Roadhouse.
							(CONTINUED)



						(Revised 11/8/89, YELLOW)

5.   CONTINUED:

				COOPER
		Do you have any doughnuts here?

				TRUMAN
		Andy?

Gestures "doughnut", points to Cooper, to ANDY, who nods and starts out.

				COOPER
		Better wash that down with a cup of joe, I didn't sleep
		too well last night.

				TRUMAN.
			(gestures "coffee" to Andy before he exits)
		You're looking a little peaked.

				COOPER
		There's a large group of insane men staying on my floor.
		Where is Jacques Renault, Harry?

				TRUMAN
		No one's seen him for two days. We've canvassed the
		building and the Roadhouse, I sent Hawk to roust his
		brother but it looks like Bernie skipped bail; no sign.

Cooper looks up at a ceiling light fixture, as Doc Hayward hangs up the phone and crosses to
them.

				HAYWARD
		Morning, Agent Cooper.

				COOPER
			(still looking up)
		Doc.

				HAYWARD
		The blood on that shirt you found here is AB negative.
		It's not Laura's blood.

				COOPER
		So that was Jacques Renault's blood on Leo Johnson's
		shirt.

Truman and Doc look at each other. Doc goes back to the phone and dials. Andy returns with
Cooper's coffee and doughnut. Cooper takes them, still looking up.

				COOPER
		Thank you, Andy.
			(more)
							(CONTINUED)




						(Revised 11/8/89, YELLOW)


5.   CONTINUED:(2)

				COOPER (CONTINUED)
			(takes a bite and a sip)
		Could you hold these for a second?

He hands the coffee and doughnut back to Andy, looks up again.

				COOPER (CONTINUED)
		Where's Leo Johnson, Harry?

				TRUMAN
		The APB went out last night, nothing yet.

				COOPER
		Give me a leg up here, would you Harry?

Truman cradles his hands, Cooper takes out a pair of calipers, steps into the cradle and
Truman boosts his up and out of frame. Doc Hayward hangs up the phone and returns.

				HAYWARD
		Jacques Renault's blood is AB negative.

				COOPER
			(out of frame)
		Thank you, Doc.

Cooper comes back down into frame, gingerly holding a dusty copy of "FLESH WORLD"
Magazine in the calipers. He sets it down on a table, blows off some dust and turns pages with
the calipers.

				TRUMAN
		"Flesh World" again.

				COOPER
		Harry, remember this ad with the picture of Ronette
		Pulaski?

He turns to the page in question. There's an opened envelope between the pages, with a letter
inside. Cooper carefully removes the envelope.

				TRUMAN
		We traced that ad. Came into the magazine in a plain
		 envelope, no name -

				COOPER
		Here's how it works. The magazine's a clearing house.
		Readers write letters in response to ads and send them
		into the magazine, then the magazine mails those letters
		on to the advertiser. No direct contact.
				(more)
							(CONTINUED)




						(Revised 11/1/89, BLUE)


5.   CONTINUED:(3)

				COOPER (CONTINUED)
			(shows him the envelope)
		Ronette received her letters at this P.O. Box.

				TRUMAN
		That's a local zip code.

				COOPER
		My guess is this P.O. box will be registered in the name
		of Jacques Renault. Let's see who was writing to
		Ronette. Post marked Georgia.

He takes out the letter. There are a couple of snapshots inside as well. Cooper, Truman and
Doc look at the snapshots.

				HAYWARD
		Good night.

				TRUMAN
		That guy's no Georgia peach.

				COOPER
		Somehow the beard ruins the effect of the lingerie, don't
		you think?
			(scans the letter)
		Poor bastard.
			(folds it up, goes back to the magazine)
		By the way, Harry, did you happen to notice the picture
		of Leo Johnson and his truck on this page?

Points to the picture of a silver truck cab which we saw before.
							CUT TO:
6.   EXT. JOHNSON HOUSE - DAY

Leo's truck, the truck in the picture, is parked outside.

							CUT TO:
7.   INT. JOHNSON'S KITCHEN - DAY

SHELLY JOHNSON is serving a hot breakfast to BOBBY BRIGGS. He's dressed, she's in a
robe. She sets the plate down in front of him. He eats ravenously.

				BOBBY
		I love when you cook for me.

				SHELLY
		Leo hates my cooking.

							(CONTINUED)




						(Revised 11/1/89, BLUE)


7.   CONTINUED:

				BOBBY
		Leo has missed the boat with you, baby. The biggest
		mistake of your life was dropping out of the eleventh
		grade and marrying that roadhog.

				SHELLY
			(amused and excited)
		What would you do if he walked in right now?

				BOBBY
			(a hot look)
		Come here.
			(pats his leg)
		Come  here.

She sits on his leg. He hugs her, kisses her neck, looks up, mock surprise.

				BOBBY (CONTINUED)
		Hey, Leo, how's it going, man? What a surprise!

With a big smile he draws Shelly's nickel-plated revolver out of the pocket of her robe and
points it at the imaginary Leo.

				BOBBY (CONTINUED)
		Now, Leo, Shelly tells me you don't like her cooking.
		Tell you what, she and I, we're going to sit here while
		you cook breakfast for us, you scumbag, and if you so
		much as say one harsh word to this beautiful girl, I'm
		going to shoot your ugly face off. Okay, Leo?

He smiles. Shelly laughs. They hear a car drive up outside. Bobby looks out the window.

				BOBBY (CONTINUED
		Sheriff's deputy. Shelly, you tell him exactly what I
		told you to, just like we talked about, okay?

				SHELLY
		Okay.

The doorbell rings. Bobby kisses her, she goes to the door. Bobby takes the gun and conceals
himself in a room off the kitchen. We hear voices.

				SHELLY'S VOICE
		Hi... sure, come on in.
							INTERCUT:
8.   BOBBY'S POV

The living room. Shelly is talking to Deputy Andy Brennan.

8.   CONTINUED:

				ANDY
		Do you know when Leo might be back?

				SHELLY
		Sorry, he never tells me where he's going.

She lights a smoke and sneaks a look back at Bobby. She winks. Bobby smiles.

				SHELLY (CONTINUED)
		They called and said you were looking for him, is Leo
		in some kind of trouble?

				ANDY
			(looking into the kitchen)
		We just need to talk to him.

				SHELLY
		This isn't about Laura or anything is it?

				ANDY
		Why do you say that?

				SHELLY
		Well, I don't know. I did hear him talking to this guy
		the night he left -

				ANDY
		Which guy?

				SHELLY
		This guy Jacques Renault? They were outside by Leo's
		truck, I could hear 'em, from over in the kitchen -

				ANDY
		What did they say?

				SHELLY
		I couldn't hear exactly. They were arguing but I did
		hear them mention her name, then they took off together.

				ANDY
		Shelly, you call us the minute he gets in touch with you,
		you be careful of Leo -

							(CONTINUED)



						(Revised 11/8/89, YELLOW)

8.   CONTINUED:(2)

				SHELLY
		You don't have to tell me that twice. Thanks for
		stopping by, Andy.

They move back to the door. Bobby puts the gun in his pocket. Shelly comes back to the
kitchen, Bobby grabs her and kisses her passionately.

				SHELLY
		How'd I do?

				BOBBY
		You were great. God, you drive me crazy.

The phone rings. Twice. Shelly answers, as Bobby still kisses her.

				SHELLY
		Hello? ... hey, Leo, where you calling from?

Bobby stops pawing her, gives her another signal. She responds.

				SHELLY (CONTINUED)
		What's that? Is anybody looking for you?
			(Bobby shakes his head)
		Leo, what would anybody be looking for you for? ...
			(Bobby nods, encouraging her to continue)
		Leo, you know how paranoid you get when you've been
		popping bennies on the road a couple days ... so, when
		you coming home?

Bobby slips the gun into her hand. She looks at it, looks at Bobby.

				SHELLY (CONTINUED
		Everything's fine, come on home, Leo ... I miss you, too.

She hangs up. Looks at the gun.

10. INT. GAS FARM GARAGE - DAY

BIG ED HURLEY and JAMES HURLEY are working together on an engine. James is
wrestling with some emotional demon. Ed takes notice.

				JAMES
		Mom came home yesterday.

10.  CONTINUED:

				ED
			(nods)
		She in bad shape?

				JAMES
		It's getting worse; every time she goes off on a drunk
		now, I half expect her to turn up dead. And part of me's
		thinking there's worse things that could happen.

				ED
		Those are hard thoughts.

				JAMES
			(almost overcome with emotion)
		God, I'm ... so ashamed of her.

				ED
		That doesn't mean we give up. We have to keep trying.

				JAMES
		What's left to do? Talk about it some more? She won't
		get help, she won't listen to either one of us -

				ED
		I don't know what else we can do --

				JAMES
		She's killing herself... I don't want to hate her, Ed, but
		if she won't let us help her sometimes I think it'd be
		better if she'd just get it over with ...

His tears finally come. Ed hugs him.

				ED
		I know it's rough. But if we give up on her, who else is
		gonna give a damn?

A car pulls up out front; we hear it trip the bell wires near the pumps.

				JAMES
			(pulling away, trying to make light)
		... been kind of a rough week.

He goes out to the back. STAY WITH Ed. We hear a car door open and close. Norma
comes into the shop. Too many secrets to rush into each other's arms.

		Hey, good lookin'.

				NORMA
		I hope you don't mind my coming.

		No, no, Nadine won't be back from that patent attorney

				NORMA
		The famous silent drape runners.

				ED
		She's already spending the millions.

				NORMA
		Anyway, I have to put gas in my car like everybody else,
		right?

				ED
		Right.

Pause. Their smiles fade.

				NORMA
		I didn't want to tell you over the phone. Hank got his
		parole.

				ED
		Okay,

				NORMA
		He's coming home, I mean back and I ... haven't said
		anything to him, yet, I -

				ED
		Hey, you don't have to explain.

				NORMA
		I only saw him for a minute before we went into the
		hearing and he seemed so hopeful, it just didn't seem
		like the right time -

				ED
		I understand.

				NORMA
			(Pause)
		Have you said anything to Nadine?

			(trying not to lie)
		I haven't yet, Norma.

				NORMA
			(half-joking)
		Waiting for me to go first?

				ED
		No. It's just, the more I think about ... Norma,
		Nadine's not a well woman.

				NORMA
		What are you saying?

				ED
		I don't know, darling -

				NORMA
			(painfully realizing, pulling back)
		I think I do.

				ED
		Maybe the time isn't right, for either of us right now

				NORMA
		We've only had to wait twenty years, what's a few more?
		We can always hold hands in the nursing home.
			(almost laughs as she fights off her tears)

				ED
		I don't ever want to hurt you, Norma.

				NORMA
		Maybe that's our trouble, Ed, we never want to hurt
		anybody. We never just take what we want. But part of
		me's beginning to think that's how you get to the end of
		your life and don't have anything to slow for it?

				ED
		Norma

				NORMA
			(trying desperately not to cry)
		Don't call me. Not for a while, okay?

				AUDREY
		Audrey. Call me Audrey. Nothing, thank you.

				BATTIS
		Audrey, yes, well, call me Emory.

		My, my, I can remember when your father used to bring

		Excuse me?

				BATTIS

		I see your point, indeed I don't, no siree -

				AUDREY

		So... what did you have in mind for me?

		Well Audrey, per your father's suggestion, starting low,

				AUDREY
		Wrapping?

		Boxes, gifts, etc, etc. Part time, after school.

				AUDREY
		No, no, no, no; Emory, ix-nay on the oxes-bay.

A slight tremor runs across his features. She picks up on it.

				BATTIS
		One of our more sensitive areas. Expensive items,

				AUDREY
		I'm afraid I've got my heart set on it.

				BATTIS
			(more than reluctant)
		I'd have to speak to your father -

				AUDREY
		Emory, here's what we're going to do. You're going to

		because if you don't I'm going to rip my sweater in
		half and scream at the top of my lungs and tell my father
		you made a pass at me. Does that help clear things up

She grabs her sweater, ready to rip and scream.

		Are you all right?

				JAMES
		Donna, there's a few things I gotta say.

				DONNA
		What?

				JAMES
			(extremely difficult for him)
		I told you my Dad died when I was ten? ... He didn't
		die. We were living in San Francisco. He was a
		musician. He was a bum and he ran off and he left us, me
		and my mom.

				DONNA
		I'm sorry.

				JAMES
			(a rush of intensity)
		My mom grew up out here. That's why we moved back.
		My mom was a writer, she was good, poems, short
		stories. She's an alcoholic.

		If you have a problem with this, I know you didn't ask

He's too ashamed to continue. She holds him.

				DONNA
		It's all right.

				JAMES
		I'm telling you this because I don't want to have any
		secrets from you, I don't want there to be any lies
		between us. It's the secrets people keep that destroy any
		chance they have for happiness and I don't want us to be
		like that...

				DONNA
		We won't. We won't be.

He kisses her, they hold on to each other.

				JAMES
		We have to do what's right. What you said yesterday
		was true; if we don't do everything we can to figure out
		what happened to Laura it'll never go away, our whole

				DONNA
		We will, James.

				JAMES
		She's out there, wandering like a restless spirit -

				DONNA
		I feel it, too. We owe it to her.

				JAMES
			(searingly honest)
		And we owe it to ourselves or else somehow, someday

16.  INT. JACQUES RENAULT'S APARTMENT/CORRIDOR - DAY

CLOSE on a plate of doughnuts as they're passed among the cops working at the scene. STAY
WITH Dale Cooper as he takes one and grabs a bite as he looks through some drawers in the
kitchen. He's wearing surgical gloves. He takes a bill out of the drawer, lays it thoughtfully
on the counter. He opens a cabinet; a red-and-black plaid shirt hangs inside. A number of
postcards and photographs are thumbtacked to the inside of the door.

DEPUTY HAWK arrives, hands a packet of letters to Truman, they cross to Cooper.

				HAWK
		That PO box was registered to Jacques Renault.

				COOPER
			(looking at the letters)
		These are all from people responding to Ronette's ad in
		the magazine.
			(look at Cooper)
                      Maybe there's something from someone we know.

				TRUMAN
			(bothered)
		There better not be.

				COOPER
			(noticing something)
		Hawk, hand me that magazine again, would you?

Hawk does. Cooper pages through, looking for something.

				TRUMAN
		What is it?

				COOPER
		Those letters are addressed to two different ad numbers,
		Ronette's and another one ... here it is.

Cooper finds the second ad in the magazine.

				COOPER (CONTINUED)
			(reading)
		"Young student requires instruction in the ways of love.
		Only generous, mature men need apply."

17. THE MAGAZINE

The ad features a color photograph of a girl in lingerie, suggestively posed in front of dark
red drapes. Her head has been cropped from the photo.

ON COOPER AND TRUMAN

Cooper whips out his magnifying glass and examines the photo.

				COOPER
		It's Laura.

				TRUMAN
		You see some distinguishing mark?

				COOPER
		The drapes.

				TRUMAN
		Drapes?

Cooper opens the cabinet, points to a color photo pinned to the door of a small log cabin in
the woods, hands the magnifying glass to Harry. He looks through it at the photo ...

ON COOPER AND TRUMAN

				COOPER
		Red drapes. From my dream, Harry.
			(he picks up the bill he set aside)
		Can you think of a good reason why an apartment
		dweller like Jacques would buy fifty gallons of heating
		oil?

				TRUMAN
		To heat a log cabin?

				HAWK
		Jacques brother mentioned something about a place up
		near state line.

				COOPER
		Pack a lunch, fellas. We're going to take a walk in the
		woods.

19.  INT. DOUBLE R DINER - DAY

Laura's cousin, MADELEINE FERGUSON enters, looks around. James and Donna are
seated at a booth.

				JAMES
		Madeleine?

She sees them, smiles, crosses over. James rises. Madeleine sits across from them. There's a
MAN sitting alone in the next booth, his back to them.

				MADELEINE
		Hi. Hi.

				DONNA
		Hi, I'm Donna Hayward.

				MADELEINE
		My friends call me Maddy. This is really nice of you
		guys. I don't really know anybody in town except Aunt
		Sarah and Uncle Leland. And the mood at the house,
		you can probably guess, isn't so great right now.

Donna and James look at each other. James nods.

19.  CONTINUED:

				JAMES
		Maddy, would you like something to drink?

				MADELEINE
		A cherry coke would be great.

				JAMES
		You got it.

James gets up, goes to the counter.

				DONNA
		Madeleine, what we wanted to talk to you about ... if I
		said you can't, really say a word of this to anybody else,
		not a soul, not even your aunt or uncle, would that be
		okay with you?

				MADELEINE
			(lightly)
		Sounds like some big secret.

				DONNA
		It is. Madeleine, James and I knew Laura better than
		anyone. She was in some kind of terrible trouble before
		she died, worse than any of us could imagine -

				MADELEINE
			(eyes widening)
		What?

James returns with her drink, sits.

				DONNA
		I'd rather not say too much about things we can't prove
		yet.

							(CONTINUED)




						(Revised 11/8/89, YELLOW)


19. CONTINUED:(2)

				JAMES
		In some ways, the less you know about it the better.

				MADELEINE
		You said you can't prove it "yet."

				DONNA
		We loved Laura. We're afraid the truth might never
		come out or that the person who killed her might never
		be caught. We've sworn on her memory not to let that
		happen.

				MADELEINE
		... my God. 'You know who did it?

				JAMES
		We have some ideas.



				DONNA
		We wanted to talk to you because we need your help.



				MADELEINE
		What do you want me to do?


				DONNA
		Laura used to talk about a hiding place she had,
		somewhere in her house, maybe her room, I'm not sure.
		Nobody else knew about it. We think she may have left
		something there that could lead us to the killer.

Pause.

				MADELEINE
		I'll help you.

				DONNA
		You will?

				MADELEINE
		Absolutely.

							(CONTINUED)




						(Revised 11/1/89, BLUE)


19.  CONTINUED:(3)

				JAMES
		That's great.

				MADELEINE
		You know, I didn't really know Laura that well, but I
		feel like I do, our folks were always telling us how much
		alike we were ...

As she speaks, CAMERA MOVES around and behind to the next booth to reveal the Man
sitting with his back to them: it's HANK JENNINGS. He's heard the entire conversation.
He takes a slow sip of coffee. He's fingering his domino key chain.

James, Donna and Madeleine rise and start out.

				DONNA
		Will you call me if there's anything I can do?

				MADELEINE
		I don't think there'll be any problem

				JAMES
		Madeleine, this is really great.

				MADELEINE
		Call me Maddy.

They're out the door. Hank smiles. A few moments later, Shelly and Norma enter, all
dolled up from the beauty parlor, laughing.

				SHELLY
		- God, we look like a couple of refugee beauty queens.

				NORMA
		Shelly, I don't think you know how good looking you
		really are.

				SHELLY
		I sure never felt so glamorous, hope I don't chip a nail
		slinging these plates around --

They laugh. They pass Hank's booth on the way back to the kitchen.

				HANK
		Hello, Norma.

She turns and sees him, stops dead.

		Surprised to see me?

				NORMA
		Yes.

				HANK
		Got out a day early. Model prisoners get all the breaks.

Norma looks at Shelly, who starts back to the kitchen.

				HANK (CONTINUED)
		Is that Leo's girl?

				NORMA
		Wife.

				HANK
		That Leo. So impulsive.
			(a friendly remark)
		Not much meat on her.
			(a long look)
		I don't expect a kiss or anything. Figure I have to earn
		my way back into your heart, Norma. But I intend to
		try.
			(another look)
		So, where do I start? I'll wash dishes. Maybe work my
		way up to short order one of these days?

				NORMA
		Washing dishes would be fine.

				HANK
		Can I finish my coffee first, boss?

He smiles and sips his coffee. They look at each other.

22.  INT. DR. JACOBY'S OFFICE - DAY

We don't immediately realize where we are. Seated in a half circle of chairs are MAJOR
BRIGGS, MRS. BRIGGS and Bobby, who can't believe what he's hearing.

				MRS. BRIGGS
		He's been spending more and more of his time alone in
		his room.

				MAJOR BRIGGS
		It's become much more difficult to engage him in
		conversation.

				MRS. BRIGGS
		Terrible mood swings.

				MAJOR BRIGGS
		We've been told by the school that his attendance has
		become erratic at best.

				MRS. BRIGGS
		And of course the recent trouble with public fighting.
		Both at the Roadhouse and the funeral.

And now we see who they're talking to, sitting in a leather chair, nodding sagely ...

				DR. JACOBY
		Are you using drugs, Bobby?

				BOBBY
		No I'm not.

				MAJOR BRIGGS
		Alcohol.

				MRS. BRIGGS
		Alcohol's a drug.

				BOBBY
		That's not what he meant.

				MRS. BRIGGS
		Alcohol doesn't count?

				BOBBY
		Everybody uses alcohol.

Pause.

				BOBBY
		Have you ever killed anybody?

				DR. JACOBY
		Have you?

				BOBBY
		My father has.

				MAJOR BRIGGS
		During wartime.

				MRS. BRIGGS
		That's different.

				BOBBY
		Different from what?

				DR. JACOBY
		Perhaps I should spend a few minutes with Robert alone.

				MAJOR BRIGGS
		This is supposed to be family counseling.

				DR. JACOBY
		And I'll need to spend some time alone with every
		member of the family. Bobby first.

				MAJOR BRIGGS
		Fair enough.

				MRS. BRIGGS
		Whatever you think best, Doctor.

The Major and the Missus get up and leave the room.

		Do you feel that your parents don't understand what

				BOBBY
		That's a good one.

				DR. JACOBY
		Let's talk about Laura.

				BOBBY
		Okay. Let's talk about Laura.

				DR. JACOBY
			(knows some secrets here)
		What happened the first time you and Laura made love?

				BOBBY
		What the hell kind of question is that?

				DR. JACOBY
		Bobby ... did you cry?

				BOBBY
			(stunned; this is true)
		Did I what?

				DR. JACOBY
			(also true)
		What did Laura do then? Did she laugh at you?

Bobby's completely throw off his guard. Jacoby moves in.

				DR. JACOBY
		Were you sad when Laura died?

				BOBBY
		Laura wanted to die.

				DR. JACOBY
		How do you know that?

				BOBBY
			(rising emotion)
		Because she told me.

22.  CONTINUED:(3)

				DR. JACOBY
		What else did she tell you?
			(silence)
		Did she tell you there was no goodness in the world?

				BOBBY
		She said people tried to be good but they were really
		sick and rotten, her most of all, and the harder she tried
		to be good the more rotten she felt because it didn't
		mean anything, because every time she tried to help the
		world be a better place something terrible came up
		inside her and pulled her back down into hell, it took her
		deeper and deeper into the blackest nightmare and every
		time it got harder to go back up to the light.

Pause.

				DR. JACOBY
			(on the case)
		Did you sometimes have the feeling that Laura was
		harboring some awful secret?

				BOBBY
		Yes.

				DR. JACOBY
		Bad enough that she wanted to die because of it?

				BOBBY
		Yes.

				DR. JACOBY
		Bad enough that it drove her to consciously try to find
		people's weaknesses and prey on them, tempt them,
		break them down, make them do terrible, degrading
		things?

				BOBBY
			(shocked and frightened)
		Yes.

				DR. JACOBY
		Laura wanted to corrupt people, because that's how she
		felt about herself -

				BOBBY
			(near tears)
		Yes.

		Is that what happened to you, Bobby?

Bobby dissolves into tears.

				DR. JACOBY (CONTINUED)
			(gently)
		Is that what Laura did to you?

				BOBBY
		Yes. She made me ... she wanted ... so much ... she made
		me sell drugs so she could have them ... she made me ...

Bobby can't continue, buries his face in his hands. Jacoby has had something essential
confirmed. He rises, pats Bobby sympathetically on the shoulder, offers him the bowl of ...

		Malted milk ball?

Bobby shakes his head. Jacoby pops one in his mouth and chews, thinking.

Hawk turns a corner and comes upon a simple, solidly constructed log cabin in a clearing. It is

				TRUMAN
		Hello.

				LOG LADY
		About time you got here.

		They move so slowly when they're not afraid.

She goes right inside the cabin. Pause. They look at each other. The Log Lady appears in the

Fire extinguishers and a bucket of water in each corner. An axe, a saw and other woodcutting
tools. Framed picture of a lumberjack, on the mantle, beside a funereal urn, with ashes. Log
Lady goes to the kitchen, where she's preparing tea.

				LOG LADY
		I've got tea. I've got cookies. No cake.

				COOPER
		That's very kind of you, but I don't know if we have

		Thank you very much.

Truman and Cooper sit. The Log Lady sets down a plate of cookies on the table, along with a
log-motif tea pot, then she takes a seat.

				LOG LADY
		We'll let it steep.

Pause. Cooper reaches for a cookie. Log Lady lightly slaps his hand.

				LOG LADY (CONTINUED)
		Wait for the tea. The fish aren't running.

Cooper. looks around, noticing all the firefighting equipment. She looks at him, as if to say,
"Don't laugh. I see everything and it takes it's toll." Pause.

				COOPER
		Do you use fire for cooking then?

				LOG LADY
		I go to great lengths to keep it under control.

				TRUMAN
		M'am, were you expecting us?

				LOG LADY
		You're two days late. Clues may be as cold as the tea
		but that's your concern.

		Lime, Harry?

				LOG LADY
		My husband was a logging man.

				COOPER
		Oh?

Hawk, Truman, Cooper and Hayward emerge from a thick stand into a clearing; on a rocky
point above them stands the log cabin seen in the photo at Jacques; apartment. Rundown, not
well maintained. Red drapes are visible in a window. Cooper looks at the photo. It was shot
from the angle they're viewing it from now.

The music issues from inside the cabin. The song ends. Pause. The same song begins again.

Truman draws his weapon and takes the lead. Hawk and Cooper draw their weapons and
follow. Hayward sits on a rock and wipes his brow with a handkerchief.

30.  INT. SECOND CABIN - DAY

The door creaks open, throwing the only light into the dark room. Truman, Hawk and Cooper
cautiously enter. The music is louder. Cooper draws aside a set of the heavy, dusty red
drapes, letting more light into the room.

On a simple record player, the tone arm pulled back over a 45 record, the song ends again, the
stylus lifts, returns to the outside, then back onto the outside edge of the record. Scratches,
pops, then the song starts again.

				COOPER
			(under his breath)
		... and there's always music in the air..."

Cooper lifts the stylus off the record. All three men proceed with extreme care, trying not to
move or disturb anything.

The single room is dusty, trashy, a low-rent version of a harem room: an overstuffed
davenport, cheap oriental throw rugs, tasseled satin pillows, empty bottles and full ashtrays.

On a tripod, a 35 millimeter camera, facing a small photo bay created by the drapes and
pillows. Hawk checks it out.

				HAWK
		There's film in here.

Hawk takes out an evidence bag, removes the film.

Cooper finds a spool of twine lying on the floor

Another tripod shaped object, covered with a cloth. Truman slowly draws the cloth off ... a
mynah bird in the cage reacts drowsily, weak from hunger and thirst. A nameplate on the cage
reads ... "O"

Hawk draws their attention to dark stains on the wood and one of the throw rugs. He examines
it.

		My office, give me two minutes to break away.

				CATHERINE
			(stops, looks at him; a threat)
		"Hell hath no fury..."

				BEN
		What?
			(he sees her look)
		Two minutes.

He moves off. She grabs another drink and heads for an exit. She passes Audrey, who's semi-
hiding behind a large wooden column, watching the party with bright, disturbed eyes.
Moments later, she watches Ben leave by the same exit. She follows him.

36.  INT. TIMBER ROOM ENTRANCE - NIGHT

JOSIE PACKARD enters the room, looks around, a little lonely and out of place. She moves
to Pete, who's piling up a massive plate of food at the buffet.

				JOSIE
		Hello, Pete.

				PETE
		Hey, Josie, quite a spread they laid out, grab yourself
		some grub.

				JOSIE
			(taking a plate, looking around)
		So these are the Icemen?

				PETE
		Somethin' like that.

37.  LELAND PALMER

At the entrance, Leland Palmer shuffles into the room. He's pale, clean shaven but sporting a
large piece of tissue paper stuck to a shaving mishap on his jaw line. He looks shakily around,
wanting very badly to fit in.

38.  INT. HOTEL CORRIDOR - NIGHT

Alone in the hallway, Audrey stops at a small secret door, opens it.

drilled peephole and looks into ...

40.  AUDREY'S POV - INT. BEN HORNE'S OFFICE

Catherine pours a drink at the bar, Ben takes the decanter of Scotch from her, pops the top in.

				BEN
		You're impossible.

				CATHERINE
		Tell me again, Ben, tell me what you're going to do

				BEN
		Speak English.

				CATHERINE
		Tell me how you're going to drive the mill into the
		ground, grind that little Chinese flower to a fine dust,
		regain control of my brother's land, leave your wife and
		marry me.

Audrey reacts.

				BEN
		And they all lived happily ever after.

				CATHERINE
			(pleasantly)
		Look into my eyes, Ben. Do I look blind to you?

				BEN
		Excuse me?

				CATHERINE
			(still pleasant, takes out the chip)
		Why did you have this thousand dollar poker chip from
		you know where in your pants yesterday?

40.  CONTINUED:

Ben looks at it, knows he's nailed. Straight-faced.

				BEN
		Jerry gave that to me.

She slaps him. He calmly pours himself a drink.

				BEN (CONTINUED)
		It's a good luck charm that I thought I'd lost. I'm so
		relieved you've found it.

She slaps him again. He sighs.

				BEN (CONTINUED)
		Are you quite finished?

She slaps him again. Satisfied, a bit hot.

				CATHERINE
		Yes.

She hands him the chip. He grabs her and kisses her hard.

Audrey is laughing so hard she has to cover her mouth and turn away from the peephole.

							CUT TO:
41.  BEN AND CATHERINE

				BEN
			(breaking off, breathless)
		Not here.

				CATHERINE
			(whispers)
		Let's burn the mill, let's do it, tonight.

				BEN
		We'll just slip away from the party and hope no one
		detects the smell of kerosene upon return, no, my love,
		we'll give Josie one last chance to sell.

				CATHERINE
		You'll talk to her.

				BEN
		Tonight. Failing that, I've retained the services of a
		qualified professional.

		Breath mint?

42.  INT. HOTEL CORRIDOR - NIGHT

Audrey comes out the same small door, closes it behind her. She staggers along the corridor,
letting out her laughter, big bursts, hysterical and gilded with an edge of desperation and
madness.
							CUT TO:
INT. KING SALMON ROOM - NIGHT

Pete stands next to Einer Thorson, the head Icelander, both holding plates of food.

				PETE
		Now let me get this straight; your entire country is
		above the timber line?

His mouth full of food, Einer nods.

				JERRY HORNE'S VOICE
			(amplified)
		Folks, ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention
		please?
							CUT TO:

44.  JERRY HORNE

On a one-step riser at the end of the room, at a microphone.

				JERRY
		Can I have your attention please?

As the crowd congregates towards that side of the room.

				JERRY (CONTINUED)
		First off, I want to thank you all for turning out tonight
		to welcome our neighbors from the magical island of
		Iceland. The Ghostwood Estates project is an important
		part of our future here in Twin Peaks, and there's no
		group we'd rather have as a partner in our future than -

He's drowned out by the blaring sound of big band music from the speakers.

							CUT TO:
45.  LELAND PALMER

In the middle of the dance floor, he starts to go, a solitary jitterbug. People clear out around
him.
							CUT TO:
46.  BEN AND CATHERINE

Re-entering the room. Ben exchanges a look with Jerry, who's panicking. Ben whispers to
Catherine.

46.   CONTINUED:

				BEN
		Dance with him.
			(she gives him a look)
		This is serious.

Catherine moves out towards Leland.
							CUT TO:
LELAND AND CATHERINE

He slickly incorporates her into his dance and they commence to cut a pretty mean rug.
Leland is pouring down tears and making little moaning sounds, but the crowd, happily
clapping along and half-soused, doesn't pick up those details.
							INTERCUT:
48 . BEN AND JERRY.

Ben makes his way to his brother.

				BEN
		Get Jacoby, get a net, get him out of my life.

Jerry nods and moves off. Before he can get very far, he's pulled out onto the floor by Heba
and they begin to jitterbug.

The Icelanders love this new dance craze and spill onto the floor, doing their best to duplicate
Leland's style ...

Leland picks up his pace. Catherine realizes she's dancing with a man teetering on the edge of
a meltdown.
							CUT TO:

Watching from behind a post, away from the dance floor. She's crying.

							CUT TO:
55.  INT. PALMER LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Darkness. Madeleine creeps into the room, wearing a nightgown, carrying a shoe box. A
floorboard creaks. She gives a look back upstairs, turns on a lamp, sits, picks up a phone and
quietly dials a number. Waits. Whispers.

				MADELEINE
		Donna? It's Maddy ... I was looking in Laura's closet
		and I couldn't find anything but I looked up and noticed
		there was a loose ceiling panel? ... yes, that was her
		hiding place, I pushed the panel back, there was a shoe
		box up there ...

She takes off the cover of the box.
							INTERCUT:
56. THE SHOE BOX

We see four audio cassette tape cases inside. On the top case we can read: "To Dr. Jacoby."
There's a noise from upstairs that startles her.

				MADELEINE (CONTINUED)
		I'll meet you and James tomorrow. Bring a tape
		recorder.

She hangs up, turns off the lamp, puts the cover back on the shoe box and goes back out of the
room.
							CUT TO:
57.  INT. BEN HORNE'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Darkness. Sounds of the party continue elsewhere. As our eyes become accustomed to the
darkness, we see someone sitting at Ben's desk and the red glow of a cigarette as they inhale.

The door opens. Ben enters the room. Josie turns on the lamp at the desk where she's seated.
Ben crosses to the desk.

				BEN
		Did anyone see you come in here?

				JOSIE
		No.

				BEN
		You do realize the risk if anyone sees us.

57.  CONTINUED:

				JOSIE
		Yes.

He sits on the edge of the desk. Josie puts out her cigarette.

				JOSIE (CONTINUED)
		How much longer, Benjamin?

				BEN
		Tomorrow night.

They look at each other. She slowly extends her hand. He takes her hand and kisses it
tenderly. They look at each other.

58.  EXT. LEO JOHNSON'S HOUSE - NIGHT

LEO JOHNSON pulls up in a beat-up pick-up truck with a covered pay-load, stops beside a
small shed outside his half-finished garage. He gets out, looks around, unlocks the shack and
starts to load full gas-cans into the back of the truck.
							INTERCUT:
59. INT. JOHNSON'S HOUSE KITCHEN - NIGHT

A single, small lamp. Shelly, in robe and nightgown, moves into the kitchen, looks out the
window at Leo (off-screen). Takes the gun from the table, puts it in her pocket, lights a
cigarette.
							CUT TO:

60.  LEO

Secures the tarp back over the gas cans and moves towards the house when he's slugged from
behind in the kidneys. He grunts and goes down on one knee.

A SHADOWY ASSAILANT efficiently, silently and systematically dismantles him,
finally turning him and hitting him with three hard right hands to the face. Dazed and
bleeding, Leo never knew what hit him. The Assailant grabs Leo by the lapels and pulls him
close. The Assailant is Hank Jennings.

				HANK
		You were supposed to mind the store while I was gone,
		not open your own franchise -

				LEO
		Hank-

A short punch, then...


				HANK
		Do as you're told, Leo. Next time you'll watch me
		take your little chippie apart before I kill you.

Hank Iets him go and disappears.

61.  INT. JOHNSON KITCHEN - NIGHT
							CUT TO:

Shelly, who hasn't heard a thing, finishes her cigarette. Suddenly, Leo bursts in the door
behind her, staggering to the sink. turns on the water, his face a bloody mess ...

				LEO
		Shelly, call a doctor -

				SHELLY
		Leo, what happened? You all right?

				LEO
			(lashing out)
		Just call the damn doctor, do as you're told!

He backhands her, sends her sprawling. She lands hard. Takes the gun from her pocket.

				LEO (CONTINUED)
		What are you sitting around for? I said -
			(sees the gun)
		What the hell are you doin' with that?

				SHELLY
			(taking out the gun)
		Don't touch me, Leo, don't come near me -

				LEO
			(laughing)
		What are you gonna do, Shelly, shoot me?

				SHELLY
		You're not gonna hurt me again -

				LEO
			(bile seeping above the pain)
		You stupid little slut, you don't even know how to use
		one -
			(he advances on her)
		Besides, you haven't got the guts --

Shelly closes her eyes and fires. Leo yells, falls back, knocking the lamp off the table.
Darkness. Screaming. The front door slams open and shut, the screaming moves outside.

Shelly huddles in a comer, clutching the gun, terrified. We hear the pick-up truck start and
drive off. Shelly tries to catch her breath.

62.  INT. GREAT NORTHERN CORRIDOR - NIGHT

Dale Cooper rounds the comer, takes out his room key. He stops, listens to the sounds of the
still raucous Icelandic party going on downstairs. Cooper sadly shakes his head, starts to
unlock his door and realizes it's open. He draws his gun.
							CUT TO:

63.  INT. COOPER'S ROOM - NIGHT

The door stands open, light coming in from the corridor. Cooper enters a moment later, with
his weapon drawn. He slowly closes the door, moves in, keeping the gun trained on the bed.

				COOPER
		Reach over slowly and turn on the bedside lamp.

There's someone in the bed. The person turns on the lamp. Audrey. Naked under the sheets,
eyes red with tears.

				AUDREY
		Don't make me leave. Please don't make me leave.

Cooper slowly lowers his weapon.
