4. EXT. HIGHWAY, FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA - DAY
A school bus. TWO very buxom PROSTITUTES are being handcuffed by a
plain clothes special agent, CHESTER DESMOND. Another AGENT has his
gun to the spread eagled BUS DRIVER's head. The KIDS inside the bus
are screaming. The phone inside Chester Desmond's car starts to
ring. Desmond walks to the car.
5. INT. DESMOND'S CAR - DAY
Desmond picks up the ringing phone.
DESMOND
Yes...
INTERCUT WITH: COLE
COLE
CHET, I AM CALLING YOU FROM
PORTLAND... OREGON.
DESMOND
OK, Gordon.
COLE
NO, IT'S OREGON, PORTLAND, OREGON.
IT'S REGIONAL BUREAU CHIEF COLE. OUT
IN PORTLAND OREGON. I NEED YOU OUT
HERE, CHET.
DESMOND
(little louder)
OK, Gordon.
COLE
OREGON. A YOUNG GIRL HAS BEEN
MURDERED. SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD.
NAMED TERESA BANKS.
DESMOND
(very loud)
Okay, Gordon!!!
Desmond electronically lowers the aerial adjusting the volume.
COLE
GOT A MAP OF THE ENVIRONS OF THE
YAKIMA INDIAN RESERVATION WITH
YOUR NAME ON IT. BETTER BRING A
POLE.
DESMOND
Smell something fishy, huh?
COLE
I'VE GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU, CHET.
SOMETHING INTERESTING THAT I WOULD
LIKE TO SHOW YOU. ARRANGEMENTS ARE
BEING MADE AND I WILL MEET YOU AT
THE PORTLAND, AIRPORT.
6. EXT. SMALL AIRPORT OUTSIDE OF PORTLAND - DAY
Small government plane lands.
ANOTHER ANGLE
Desmond exits the plane.
7. INT. SECURITY LOUNGE OF THE AIRPORT - SAME
Desmond enters. Cole and another man, SAM STANLEY, walk towards him.
COLE
(motioning to the man standing there)
CHET, GIVE SAM STANLEY THE GLAD
HAND. HE'S COME OVER FROM SPOKANE.
Desmond and Stanley shake.
STANLEY
It's a pleasure. I've heard a lot about
you.
COLE
SAM'S THE MAN WHO CRACKED THE
WHITEMAN CASE.
DESMOND
Congratulations. I heard about that.
COLE
(plowing ahead)
YOUR SURPRISE, CHET. HER NAME IS LIL.
LIL walks to them from another room. She goes into a contorted dance.
8. LIL'S DANCE
Things we notice.
-- She makes a sour face.
-- She walks in place.
-- She puts one hand in her pocket and makes a fist with the other.
-- While she is doing this, she blinks with both eyes.
-- She is wearing a red wig.
At one point during this Cole adds a sentence.
COLE
SHE'S MY MOTHER'S SISTER'S GIRL.
Cole holds four fingers in front of his eyes.
DESMOND
(noticing the fingers)
Federal?
Cole gives him the thumbs up.
Lil finishes her dance.
COLE
GOOD LUCK, CHET.
(turns to Sam)
SAM, YOU STICK WITH CHET, HE'S GOT
HIS OWN M.O. MODUS OPERANDI.
(back to Chet)
YOU CAN REACH ME AT THE
PHILADELPHIA OFFICES. I AM FLYING
OUT TODAY
DESMOND
Right, Gordon. We'll be in touch.
9. EXT. HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO DEER MEADOW - DAY
Desmond's car on the highway.
10. INT. DESMOND'S CAR - SAME
As they barrel down the highway -
STANLEY
That was really something. That
dancing girl.
(after a beat)
What did it mean?
DESMOND
Code. If you work with Gordon you learn
that right away.
STANLEY
Code, I've heard a lot about this.
Desmond pulls his arm back so that only his fingers come out of his
sleeve.
DESMOND
Sort of shorthand.
STANLEY
(missing the humor)
Shorthand. really?
DESMOND
We're heading into a difficult situation.
STANLEY
How do you figure?
DESMOND
I'll explain it to you. Do you remember
Lil's dance?
As Desmond explains we -
INTERCUT WITH:
11. FLASHBACK: LIL'S DANCE
In slow motion.
ON LIL'S SOUR FACE
DESMOND
Lil was wearing a sour face.
STANLEY
What do you mean?
DESMOND
Her face had a sour look... that means
we're going to have trouble with the
local authorities. They are not going to
be receptive to the FBI.
ON LIL BLINKING BOTH EYES
DESMOND
Both eyes blinking means there is going
to be trouble higher up... the eyes of the
local authority. A sheriff and a deputy.
That would be my guess. Two of the
local law enforcers are going to be a
problem.
ON LIL PUTTING ONE HAND IN HER POCKET AND ONE IN A FIST
DESMOND (continued)
If you noticed she had one hand in her
pocket which means they are hiding
something, and the other hand made a
fist which means they are going to be
belligerent.
ON LIL WALKING IN PLACE
DESMOND (continued)
Lil was walking in place which means
there's going to be a lot of legwork
involved.
WE SEE COLE PUTTING HIS FINGERS IN FRONT OF HIS FACE AND SAYING LIL
IS HIS SISTER'S GIRL.
DESMOND (continued)
Cole said Lil was "his mother's sister's
girl". What is missing in that sentence?
The Uncle.
STANLEY
Oh, the uncle is missing.
DESMOND
Not Cole's Uncle but probably the
sheriff's uncle in federal prison.
STANLEY
So the sheriff had got an Uncle who's
committed a serious crime.
ON LIL'S RED WIG
DESMOND
Right, which is probably why Lil was
wearing a red wig meaning we are
headed into a dangerous situation. Let
me ask you something, Stanley, did you
notice anything about the dress?
STANLEY
The dress she was wearing had been
altered to fit her. I noticed a different
colored thread where the dress had been
taken in. It wasn't her dress or she
must have lost some weight.
DESMOND
Gordon said you were good. The tailored
dress is our code for drugs. Did you
notice what was pinned to it?
STANLEY
A blue rose.
DESMOND
Very good, but I can't tell you about
that.
Stanley rides along quietly for a while.
STANLEY
What did Gordon's tie mean?
DESMOND
What? That's just Gordon's bad taste.
STANLEY
Why couldn't he have just told you all
these things?
DESMOND
He talks loud. And he loves his code.
STANLEY
I see. He does talk loud.
DESMOND
Gordon would not have sent us to Deer
Meadow without thinking it was a
high priority situation.
STANLEY
It must be a high priority situation.
12. EXT. HIGHWAY - SAME
Desmond's car drives off.
DISSOLVE TO:
13. EXT. DEER MEADOW SHERIFF'S STATION - AFTERNOON
Desmond and Stanley arrive. The Sheriff's Station is in a sorry
state outside... They walk up to the old steps and enter.
14. INT. DEER MEADOW SHERIFF'S STATION, RECEPTION AREA - DAY
Agent Desmond and Stanley walk into a very small reception area. At
the counter Desmond shows his badge to CLIFF HOWARD, the Deputy.
DESMOND
Good afternoon, Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Special Agent Chet
Desmond. I'd like to see Sheriff Cable.
Cliff just smiles for a long minute.
CLIFF
Why don't you folks have a seat. Make
yourself at home. It's gonna be a while.
Desmond stays standing and Stanley sits. After another long moment,
Cliff joins the SECRETARY in a conspiratorial giggle over the long
wait they are planning to give the FBI. In the middle of a giggle
Cliff smiles up at Desmond.
CLIFF (continued)
Why don't you have some of that coffee.
It was fresh two days ago.
Cliff has a good laugh over this and leans again over the secretary
pretending to look at some paper work. They both laugh.
DESMOND
Okay, that's it. I've had enough of the
waiting room now.
CLIFF
(still smiling)
Oh.
Desmond walks towards the door that obviously must go to Sheriff
Cable's office.
Cliff blocks his way with his arm across the doorway, daring him to
do something. While they stare eye to eye, Desmond's hand goes up
slowly towards Cliff's face in a slow mesmerizing way. Cliff tries
to knock Chet's hand away. Chet counters by grabbing Cliff's nose
and pinches a nerve to its side injecting Cliff with a great amount
of pain.
CLIFF (continued)
AAAHHHHHHHH...
Desmond spins the deputy 180 degrees placing himself on the inside of
the office and then still pressing the nerve guides Cliff down into a
chair.
While the Deputy's eyes tear copiously Desmond turns to the secretary.
DESMOND
You can start that FRESH pot of coffee
right now.
Desmond stalks to Sheriff Cable's office. Stanley remains behind
continuing to observe every detail.
15. INT. SHERIFF CABLE'S OFFICE - DAY
SHERIFF CABLE looks up from his work.
CABLE
How the hell did you...
Desmond shows his credentials.
DESMOND
Federal Bureau of Investigation, Special
Agent Chet Desmond.
Cliff, still holding his nose, appears just behind Desmond, who turns
to him.
DESMOND (continued)
That's all right, Deputy, Sheriff Cable
can take it from here
Cable signals Cliff to leave.
DESMOND (continued)
I'm here to investigate the murder of
Teresa Banks.
CABLE
Well, little fella, we don't need any
outside help here. I don't like you
people sniffin' around my neck of the
woods. In fact, when the state boys
called me about a "J. Edgar" coming up I
think I said, "So what?"
DESMOND
Your behavior is not funny and is
wasting the time of the Federal
Government.
CABLE
You're lucky I am not wasting you.
DESMOND
Well, little fella, let me put it this way.
The operative word here would be
"Federal". With or without the
semantics of all this, I am now ordering
you to release all pertinent information
concerning Teresa Banks, both while
living and deceased.
Cable retrieves a box with the paper work and some personal effects.
He throws it to Desmond.
CABLE
A basic kill. Banks was a drifter and
nobody knew her. My boys have been all
over this. It's a dead end.
DESMOND
That's why we're here, Sheriff Cable.
Where's the body?
CABLE
Out back in our morgue
Desmond starts to leave.
CABLE (continued)
It's 4:30. We close at five.
DESMOND
We've got our own clock. We'll lock up.
As Desmond turns to leave he notices on the wall a framed Newspaper
clipping with picture.
The caption reads:
"CABLE BENDS STEEL"
The newspaper shows a picture of Cable in a He-Man pose bending a
steel BAR into a U shape. He turns to leave and Stanley seems to
have appeared right on time. Desmond moves down the hall and Stanley
follows.
16. EXT. SHERIFF'S STATION - DAY
As Desmond and Stanley walk to the adjoining morgue they see a pile of
steel BARS similar to the one they saw Cable bending in the picture.
AT THE MORGUE DOOR
Stanley moves up to Desmond and speaks confidentially.
STANLEY
You know, Agent Desmond, I figure this
whole office, furniture included, is
worth 27,000 dollars.
Desmond doesn't know what to say to him. They enter the morgue.
17. INT. TINY MORGUE - DAY
Teresa's body is on the platform in the middle of the room, Stanley
hangs his recorder on the hooks at the end of the autopsy table and
puts on rubber gloves. Desmond opens Teresa Banks file.
DESMOND
(reading)
Teresa Banks lived at the Canyon
Trailer Park for a month. We'll check
that. And worked as a waitress at Hap's
Truck Stop. Worked the Night Shift.
Good place for dinner when we're thru
here, Sam.
(flips to another page)
No one came to claim the body and no
known next of kin.
As Desmond is doing this, Stanley takes out his SPECIAL MACHINE.
Desmond looks up from his work and notices.
STANLEY
Solved the Whiteman Case with this.
DESMOND
That's what I heard.
STANLEY
No one could find those splinters
without a machine like this. And no one
had a machine like this.
DESMOND
That's good.
STANLEY
Yes, it is good.
(looks around)
What do you think is in these other
drawers?
DESMOND
I don't know, Sam.
STANLEY
Maybe, later we could take a look.
DESMOND
Sure, but let's finish up with this first.
Getting to work, Stanley's face goes right over Teresa's.
STANLEY
(into his recorder)
Crushed skull. Probable cause repeated
blows to the back of the head with an
obtuse angled blunt object. Subject
looks to be between 16 and 18 years of
age.
DESMOND
Cole said she was 17.
Stanley's eyes drift to Teresa's left hand.
STANLEY
I wonder where her ring is?
Desmond notices the mark on her hand as well.
DESMOND
Yeah.
(looking into the personal effects)
Personal effects include a watch, under
garments, and a blue waitress
uniform... the ring is missing. It says
the rest of her things haven't been
removed yet from the trailer. Let's
hope it's there.
Stanley picks up her left hand.
INSERT: BANKS LEFT HAND
In Stanley's hand.
ON THE SCENE
STANLEY
There appears to be a contusion under
the ring finger of her left hand.
DESMOND
Oh.
Stanley peers underneath the fingernail.
STANLEY
A laceration.
Stanley brings over his "Whiteman" instrument. Works the left hand
under it.
DESMOND
Accidental?
STANLEY
Agent Desmond, would you hold the
finger for me. There's something up
there.
He gets whatever it is with a long set of tweezers.
DESMOND
What is it?
STANLEY
It is a piece of paper with the letter "T"
imprinted on it. Take a look.
Desmond comes around and takes a look.
On a piece of paper.
CLOSEUP: DESMOND
Pondering what he has seen.
ON THE SCENE
We move across to a clock on the wall that reads: 5:04.
DISSOLVE TO:
THE SAME CLOCK
It now reads 3:33. Stanley zips up a regulation body bag around
Teresa.
DISSOLVE TO:
18. EXT. MORGUE - LATE NIGHT
Desmond and Stanley come out of the morgue.
STANLEY
Geez, Agent Desmond, it's three-thirty
in the morning. Where are we going to
sleep?
DESMOND
We're not. You and I are going to get
some food.
STANLEY
Yes, it's been several hours since we've
eaten. I didn't realize that so much
time had past, did you, Agent Desmond?
Desmond takes a long look at Stanley.
STANLEY (continued)
You've got your own M.O., don't you,
Agent Desmond?
Desmond gets in and starts the car.
19. EXT. HAP'S DINER - LATE NIGHT
Establish.
20. INT. HAP'S DINER, MANAGER'S OFFICE - LATE NIGHT
Desmond and Stanley talk with JACK, the manager who has black wavy
hair with a black full mustache to match, shiny silk shirt with silver
strands sown in and an Indian turquoise belt. He has a sign on his
shirt that says, "Say 'Goodbye' to JACK".
A GUY in the room is working on a light that keeps buzzing and
shorting out. He doesn't really know what he's doing so he is
poking at the wiring.
JACK
Had the FBI here once before. Back in
the fifties when Hap was running the
place.
DESMOND
Where's Hap?
JACK
He's dead - good and dead.
DESMOND
Sorry to hear it.
JACK
He didn't suffer.
DESMOND
I'd like to ask you a few questions about
Teresa Banks
JACK
Sheriff Cable's already asked me a few
questions about Teresa Banks. She
worked nights for a month. That's it.
DESMOND
Any friends?
JACK
No.
DESMOND
Ever see her with someone else?
JACK
No.
DESMOND
Did she ever mention any friends?
JACK
No.
(pointing)
Ask Irene over there.
He gestures thru a door that leads out to the diner, pointing out a
woman behind the counter.
JACK (continued)
Now, her name _is_ Irene and it _is_ night.
Don't take it any further than that.
There's nothin' good about it.
21. INT. HAP'S DINER - SAME
They sit at the counter and IRENE comes over to them. Behind her is
the coffee and she is working on a cigarette. Lipstick smeared on
the coffee cup.
IRENE
Take a good look around. There's nobody in
this place - you're meetin' the reason
why. What'll it be?
DESMOND
How come Jack let's you work here?
IRENE
Jack and I are united in holy matrimony.
DESMOND
Say no more.
Stanley is casing the restaurant as Irene pours them a couple of cups
of coffee.
DESMOND
(showing credentials)
Federal Bureau of Investigation, Special
Agent Chet Desmond. I'd like to ask you
a few questions about Teresa Banks.
Jack said you knew her. How well?
IRENE
She only worked here a month. Nice
girl. Never seemed to get here on time
though. Ask me she had a little problem
with --
She makes a sniff to indicate a "cocaine problem".
IRENE (continued)
Came looking for a job with a friend of
hers. Pretty girl. Could've been her
sister.
DESMOND
What happened to her?
IRENE
There was only one job. Teresa took the
job. Her friend took a hike. Never saw
her again.
DESMOND
Did you ever see Teresa take cocaine?
IRENE
No.
DESMOND
Do you take cocaine, Irene?
IRENE
No, I do not. I never took cocaine or any
other drugs. I don't take drugs.
STANLEY
Nicotine is a drug. Caffeine is a drug.
IRENE
Who's Shorty? Those drugs are legal.
DESMOND
He's with me.
(back on the track)
Anything you would like to tell us about
Teresa Banks that would help us out?
IRENE
I've thought about that. I think her
death is what you would call a "freak
accident".
DESMOND
Thanks.
An OLD GUY, long and skinny, smoking, gets Desmond's attention.
OLD GUY
You talking about that little girl that
was murdered?
DESMOND
You have something to tell us?
OLD GUY
Yeah.
DESMOND
What?
OLD GUY
I can tell shit from shinolah. Gets me
along way down that road.
Desmond moves away from him.
STANLEY
You think we ought to question him?
Desmond looks down at the coffee cup in Stanley's _left_hand_.
DESMOND
What time is it, Stanley?
Stanley checks his watch pouring hot coffee on himself.
STANLEY
Oh...
Desmond guides his laugh into a cough.
STANLEY
(looking at his watch while his
legs burn)
Agent Desmond, it's...
DESMOND
It's late, Sam.
STANLEY
(to himself as be dabs his pants
with napkins)
It's not late, it's early. Really early.
Irene comes up to them with her purse in her hand. She is going off
duty.
IRENE
You know, I never told anybody, but once
for about three days, just before her
time, Teresa's arm went completely
dead.
DESMOND
What do you mean?
IRENE
Her left arm. It was numb. She said she
couldn't use it. Said it had no feeling.
Probably from the drugs she was taking.
(after a beat)
I just thought I ought to tell you.
DESMOND
Thanks.
Stanley watches her leave.
STANLEY
I doubt it was drugs, more likely a
problem with a nerve. I could recheck
the arm for injuries, but for real nerve
work we are going to have to take the
body back to Portland.
DESMOND
I think that's a good idea.
22. EXT. HAP'S DINER - NEAR DAWN
As Desmond and Stanley head towards their car.
DESMOND
I think we should see the sun rise at the
Canyon Trailer Park.
STANLEY
Are you speaking to me in a code?
DESMOND
No, Sam, I'm speaking plainly and I mean
just exactly what I say.
STANLEY
In that case, we should go to the Canyon
Trailer Park.
Irene walks past them and towards the parking lot.
STANLEY AND DESMOND
Thanks, Irene. Good...
(catch themselves)
Good morning.
STANLEY
Thank god it is morning.
23. EXT. CANYON TRAILER COURT - DAWN
Desmond and Stanley drive thru to the manager's trailer which is
surrounded by a small white picket fence. They park and step to the
trailer. Desmond knocks twice on the door. From inside they hear a
voice that makes Cole's voice sound like a whisper.
VOICE
OH, GOD, WHAT... WHAT...
Just then Desmond and Stanley notice a sign on the door that reads.
"DO NOT EVER DISTURB BEFORE 9
A.M... EVER"
VOICE
CAN'T YOU READ!
STANLEY
Nine's really late. We are really early.
They both fumble for their badges as they hear the manager coming
closer to the door. They meet the manager, CARL RODD.
CARL
God damn, this better be
important.
He stops in the middle of this when he sees the badges.
DESMOND
Federal Bureau of Investigation, Special
Agent Chet Desmond and Agent Sam
Stanley. Sorry to disturb you, but we
would like to see Teresa Banks' trailer,
please.
CARL
More popular than Uncle's Day at a
whorehouse.
(takes one step out of his trailer)
GOD DAMN, THAT MORNING SUN IS
BRIGHT! BLUE BRIGHT.
Carl steps thru the little picket fence's gate and leads them towards
Teresa's Trailer.
CARL (continued)
Mrs. Simmons owns the trailer and she
lives in town. Teresa rented it about a
month ago.
DESMOND
Did she have someone with her?
CARL
Right. She had a friend with her. The
friend took off.
DESMOND
Was there an argument?
CARL
Not that I know of. But arguments do
happen, don't they?
DESMOND
Yes they do. Did she have visitors?
CARL
No, hey, I already told this whole damn
thing to Sheriff "Not-Quite-Able"...
Here's the trailer now.
He swings open the door.
CARL (continued)
And this is exactly the way she left it. I
never touched a GOD DAMN THING.
(frustration rising)
GOD!
Desmond and Stanley go in.
24. INT. TERESA'S TRAILER
Desmond smells the room. He and Stanley look around. Stanley leans
over to Desmond.
STANLEY
(whispers)
She lived alone.
DESMOND
She must have known someone.
Desmond notices her personal effects on the dresser, but no ring.
DESMOND (continued)
You better dust this place, Sam.
STANLEY
I'll get my kit.
25. EXT. CANYON TRAILER COURT
Stanley walks towards the car. He writes in his note book.
STANLEY
(to himself)
5,600 dollars.
26. INT. TERESA'S TRAILER
Desmond notices a picture hanging on the wall. Takes the picture
down and looks at it thru his magnifying glass.
(more)
INSERT - PICTURE
Teresa Banks is wearing a ring.
BACK ON THE SCENE
Stanley returns with his equipment. Desmond shows him the photograph.
DESMOND
Take a look at this.
STANLEY
She's wearing a ring.
Stanley studies it.
DESMOND
My guess is there isn't enough detail in
the photo to get an idea of the design on
the ring, but we should do a blowup of
this anyway.
STANLEY
(squinting at the picture)
May I see the magnifying glass, Agent
Desmond?
(takes a look, then looks at
Desmond)
There doesn't seem to be enough detail
in the photo to ascertain the design on
the ring.
Carl leans in from the outside.
CARL
I'm gonna make myself some Good
Morning America. You want some?
Both nod "yes".
DISSOLVE TO:
27. INT. TERESA'S TRAILER - LATER
Stanley is finishing up his work. Carl brings them their coffee.
Desmond tastes the coffee under Sam's watchful eye.
DESMOND
You weren't kiddin'. This stuff's got the
sting of the forty-eight hour blend.
CARL
That's right. That's the best coffee
you're gonna get around here.
STANLEY
(watching Desmond drink)
We really do need a good "wake me up",
don't we, Agent Desmond?
(after a long look from Desmond)
We really do need a good "wake me up",
don't we, Agent Desmond?
A WOMAN sticks her head into the trailer. She has an ice pack over
one eye and a load of idle curiosity. Desmond notices her.
DESMOND
Did you know Teresa Banks?
She just nods in the negative and leans back out. Behind her is
Deputy Cliff, who looks into the trailer.
CLIFF
Hey, how's J. Edgar doin'?
(to Carl)
Bet you appreciate them bustin' your
mornin' in half, eh, Carl? Bet they woke
you up.
CARL
They're only doing their job.
DESMOND
What are you doing here in the trailer
court, Deputy?
CLIFF
Maybe I just live here, what do you
think about that?
DESMOND
Can I ask you where you were the night
Teresa Banks was murdered?
CLIFF
You can tell J. Edgar that I was at a
party and I got fifteen fuckin'
witnesses.
CARL
Maybe if you did a little less partyin'
that little girl would still be alive.
CLIFF
Is that right, Mr. Jack Daniels?
DESMOND
Did you know Teresa Banks?
CLIFF
Got a couple of cups of coffee at Hap's
from her. That's it. By the way where
do you get off questioning a lawman? I
could ask you the same question.
DESMOND
No you couldn't.
Chet steps towards Cliff who looses his balance and has to step off
the trailer steps.
28. EXT. CANYON TRAILER COURT - SAME
Desmond stands in the doorway of the trailer and watches Cliff get
into his car and drive to work.
Stepping away from the trailer Desmond spots something underneath.
He bends down and retrieves a Titleist Golf Ball.
DESMOND
Is there a golf course around here?
CARL
Not a lot around here, no. Got some
clubs, but not very many fellas with
balls.
Desmond drops the ball in a plastic bag and gives it to Stanley who
puts it in his kit. Desmond turns to Carl.
DESMOND
Thanks for your help, Carl. Sorry we
woke you up.
CARL
That's alright. I was having a bad
dream. I was dreamin' about a joke
with no punchline.
Desmond and Stanley nod to Carl and walk to their car.
STANLEY
I couldn't help but notice that you had a
suspicion that Deputy Cliff was the
murderer. You did think that, didn't you,
Agent Desmond?
DESMOND
He's not the murderer.
(after a beat)
But he's a bozo.
STANLEY
Yes, he is like a clown.
Desmond walks around the car to the drivers' side and gets in.
29. EXT. SHERIFF'S STATION - MIDDAY
The FBI MOBILE CRIME VAN sits outside as Desmond and Stanley pull up.
30. INT. WAITING ROOM, SHERIFF CABLE'S OFFICE - DAY
Cable and Cliff meet Desmond and Stanley as they come in the door.
The CRIME VAN DRIVER sits nearby. The secretary is behind her desk.
CABLE
What the hell is that thing doing out
there? You're not taking that body
anywhere.
DESMOND
We're taking the body back to Portland
and there's not a thing you can do about
it.
CABLE
Maybe not _a_ thing, but maybe _two_
things.
DESMOND
Teresa Banks had a ring. Any idea what
happened to it?
CABLE
We got a phone, here, that's got a little
ring.
DESMOND
(turning to Stanley)
Sam, get the body and put it in the van.
(to Cable)
Sheriff Cable, where were you the night
Teresa Banks was murdered?
CABLE
(flexing the muscles in his arm)
My alibi is as strong as these bands of
steel.
He reaches out and stops Stanley from going out to get the body.
Cable smiles menacingly at Desmond.
CABLE (continued)
Cliff told me you asked him the same
thing. Why don't we step around back
and we'll have our final "discussion" out
doors.
Cable exits followed by Cliff and the giggling secretary.
STANLEY
(coming close to Desmond)
When he says, "Discussion", how do you
take that, Agent Desmond?
DESMOND
I don't take it, Sam. I give it.
31. EXT. BEHIND THE SHERIFF'S STATION - DAY
Desmond, Cliff, Stanley, Cable, the secretary and the FBI van driver
all have stepped outside by the pile of iron bars.
CABLE
Now, J. Edgar, I'm going to take off my
badge, here. Do you mind?
(takes his badge off)
The only way you're going to get that
body is over mine.
He picks up a steel bar and bends it ala the picture in his office.
CLIFF
(to Desmond)
You try that you little monkey.
DESMOND
I think I'll take off my badge as well.
Desmond takes his coat and badge off. Cable takes his shirt off and
Desmond follows. Cable is bare-chested and Desmond is in FBI issue
underwear.
Desmond goes to pick up an iron bar and Cable hits him with a sucker
punch. As Desmond bends away from this Cable rushes at him. Desmond
stops him with a few well placed punches to his face. Cable falls
down and Desmond stands over him. Chet picks up the steel bar and
bends it. He then tosses the bar away.
Cable stands up and rushes at Desmond who flips and flops him around.
Cable tries one more grand roadhouse punch which Desmond expertly
ducks.
DESMOND
(eyeing Cable's glass jaw)
This one's comin' from J. Edgar.
Desmond blasts him in the jaw and Cable goes over - lights out, all
systems down.
The no longer giggling secretary and Cliff stand and stare. Desmond
looks at them.
DESMOND
Who's next?
After a moment of unbearable humiliation they shuffle away.
DISSOLVE TO:
32. EXT. SHERIFF'S STATION - AFTERNOON
Stanley and the driver finish loading the body into the van. Desmond
and Stanley talk.
DESMOND
Take the van back to Portland, Stanley.
I'm going to take one more look at the
trailer park.
They walk towards the van until Stanley stops.
STANLEY
(confidentially)
One thing that has been troubling me.
That lamp at the diner. Do you think
they were working on it for esthetic
reasons or was their work due to faulty
wiring?
DESMOND
Faulty wiring.
STANLEY
Esthetics are subjective, aren't they,
Agent Desmond?
(extends his hand)
I'm Sam Stanley. If you ever need me.
DESMOND
Thanks, Sam, for the good work. You
have a good eye for detail.
STANLEY
We do notice things, don't we, Agent
Desmond? Are you going back to the
trailer park for the Blue rose?
Desmond smiles at Stanley as they shake.
DESMOND'S POV
As he enters the van, Desmond can barely make out what Stanley says
as he points to the driver.
STANLEY
(very muffled)
83,000 dollars.
33. EXT. THE TRAILER COURT - DAY
Desmond is standing in front of Teresa's trailer with Carl Rodd.
CARL
(motioning behind and to the right
of Teresa's trailer)
And that's Deputy Cliff's trailer over
there. The red one.
CHET
Right.
CARL
I'll be in my trailer if you need me.
Carl walks away towards his trailer. Desmond walks over and around
Cliff's red trailer. He gets a strange feeling. He looks past
Teresa's trailer to the edge of the trailer park, where he sees a
HAND appear in the window of a trailer. Then the hand disappears.
Desmond walks to that trailer. He knocks on the door but no one
answers. He looks under the trailer and sees a _mound_of_dirt_with_
_a_small_indentation_at_the_top_. In the indentation is _Teresa_
_Bank's_ring_. As he reaches out and touches it, _he_disappears_.
34. INT. GORDON COLE'S OFFICE, PHILADELPHIA - DAY
Cole and ALBERT ROSENFIELD talk.
COLE
EVERY SYLLABLE OF EVERY WORD IS THE
SOUND OF TWO HANDS CLAPPING. IS
THAT WHAT YOU SAID, ALBERT?
ALBERT
Six to eight hands clapping. I was
referring to the possibility of a little
silence.
The phone rings and Cole answers it.
35. INT. PHILADELPHIA FBI OFFICES
AGENT DALE COOPER, in the doorway across the hall, talks to DIANE in
the next room. While he talks he does some isometrics against the
door frame.
COOPER
I know you haven't changed your hair and
I've seen that beautiful dress before,
but I must say, Diane, you look
sensational today.
Diane says something else that we cannot hear.
COOPER
(enjoying this)
No, I am not trying to buy time. It's
Thursday and I know you have changed
something in the room... and this time
you've done very well...
(stalling)
And I am going to tell you exactly what
it is... in a moment... you have moved...
(snaps his fingers)
Got it! It's the clock, you've moved it
12 inches to the left.
(a laugh)
Another triumph for the dashing Agent
Cooper. And you, Diane, now have to
clean the coffee cup, get fresh ground
coffee from Sally and make a damn
great pot of coffee.
Cooper with a triumphant smile walks over to join Cole and Albert.
But Cole's stern look takes his smile away.
COOPER
What is it, Gordon?
COLE
COOP, AGENT CHET DESMOND HAS
DISAPPEARED. GONE LIKE THE WIND IN
DEER MEADOW.
36. INT. SAM STANLEY'S APARTMENT, SPOKANE - DAY
All around the walls of Stanley's apartment are work benches with
adding machinery sitting on top of them. In the middle of the room
is a portable plastic pool, with milky white water and crystallized
salt formations clinging to the sides like quartz rocks. From one
odd looking piece of machinery there are wires which extend into the
pool.
Cooper's eyes go to the pool and back to Stanley as Sam talks about
Desmond.
STANLEY
Agent Chet said he wanted to check the
trailer court one more time. He had me
drive the van with the body back here.
Which we did. It was 105 miles.
COOPER
Anything else?
STANLEY
Did Gordon show you a woman named
Lil?
COOPER
I'm up to speed, Stanley.
STANLEY
Agent Chet wouldn't tell me what the
Blue Rose meant.
COOPER
And neither will I.
STANLEY
(understanding)
Oh, alright.
(reflecting)
You know, I liked Agent Desmond. He
had his own M.O.
Stanley turns to one of his work tables and shows Cooper the Whiteman
machine.
STANLEY
I cracked the Whiteman case with this.
COOPER
(trying to stop him)
Stanley, I heard all about it.
STANLEY
No one could've found those splinters
without a machine like this and no one
has a machine like this.
COOPER
Tell me about the letter.
STANLEY
Take a look at this. Chet and I found it
under Teresa Banks' ring fingernail.
Cooper looks under the microscope to see the letter they found on
Teresa.
COOPER
And no one found the ring?
STANLEY
No, sir, we did not.
Cooper straightens up from the microscope. Stanley extends his hand.
STANLEY
I'm Sam Stanley, if you ever need me.
37. EXT. CANYON TRAILER COURT - DAY
Carl Rodd shows Cooper to Teresa's trailer.
CARL
GOD. I'm beginning to lose faith in the
United States Government and that
includes the telephone system. Don't
you folks talk to one another. That's her
trailer there and I haven't touched a god
damn thing. Agent Chet Desmond come
by a second time and asked too see
Deputy Cliff Howard's trailer
(gestures to the red trailer)
...which I showed him. I went back to
my trailer...
(gestures back to his)
After that I never saw him again.
COOPER
Thank you, Carl.
Cooper starts walking in the opposite direction from Cliff's trailer
picking up on the same odd vibe that struck Desmond.
CARL
(turning back)
That's not the way to Cliff's trailer. I
told you.
COOPER
I am not going to Cliff's trailer.
CARL
Well, where are you going?
COOPER
I am going over here.
CARL
(coming along with him)
God damn, you people are confusing.
Cooper reaches a pack of dirt which is now creased with tire tracks.
COOPER
What was here, Mr. Rodd?
CARL
A trailer was here. What the hell do you
think?
COOPER
Can you tell me who's trailer it was...
and who stayed in the trailer?
CARL
An old woman and her grandson.
COOPER
Can you tell me what their names were?
CARL
Chalfont. Weird. Chalfont was the
name of the folks that rented the space
before they did. Two Chalfonts.
Cooper kneels to examine the tracks left by the exited trailer.
As he kneels and inspects the tracks he is overcome by the presence
of SOMETHING.
Cooper struggles to his feet and looks around. Under a tree and
close to the tracks is a car.
COOPER
Is that Agent Desmond's vehicle?
CARL
Yep, it sure is.
Cooper walks to it.
AT DESMOND'S CAR
Cooper inspects the car. Coming around to the front of the car he
notices the windshield. On the windshield someone has written the
words, "Let's Rock".
38. EXT. WIND RIVER, NEAR DEER MEADOW - AFTERNOON
Cooper stares into the stream.
COOPER
(dictating into his recorder)
Diane, it's 4:20 in the afternoon. I am
standing here at Wind River where they
found the body of Teresa Banks. Diane,
this case has got a strange feeling for
me. Not only has Agent Chester
Desmond disappeared but this is one of
Cole's Blue Rose cases. The clues that
were found by Agent Desmond and Agent
Stanley have lead to dead ends. The
letter below the fingernail gives me the
feeling that the killer will strike again.
But like the song says, "...who knows
where or when".
39. EXT. TWIN PEAKS - DAY
Shot of the Twin Peaks Sign. Then on screen it reads:
TWIN PEAKS ONE YEAR LATER -

COOPER
I was worried about today from the
dream I told you about.
COLE
RIGHT.
(not sure what to say)
GOOD WORK.
Cooper looks at the calendar in the room and checks his watch. He
walks from the room.
43. INT. HALLWAY BELOW THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA - SAME
Cooper stares into the lens of the camera for a moment. Then sprints
to the Surveillance Room.
44. INT. SURVEILLANCE ROOM

This is for you. The joven... ah... young
lady... she left it.
Rings the bell. A BELLHOP appears. Young, sweating, and eager.

BELLHOP

doesn't see him because he is staring intently into the camera as he
has done twice before.
50. INT. SURVEILLANCE ROOM - SAME
Cooper races into the room and stares into the monitor.
51. ON THE MONITOR
This time Cooper is amazed to see himself staring into the camera,
and behind him is Phillip Jeffries coming towards him and the camera.
On the screen Jeffries walks past Cooper.
COOPER
(shouting)
Gordon.
Cooper runs into Gordon's office.
52. INT. GORDON'S OFFICE
As Cooper gets to Gordon's office, Albert and Cole are standing there
staring bug eyed at Phillip Jeffries.
COLE
PHILLIP!
Albert stands up.
ALBERT
Phillip?
Jeffries moves into the room. Cooper steps into the office.
COOPER
Phillip?
COLE
COOPER, MEET THE LONG LOST PHILLIP
JEFFRIES. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF HIM
AT THE ACADEMY.
Jeffries stares at the threesome.
JEFFRIES
I'm not going to talk about Judy. Keep
Judy out of this.
COOPER
But...
Cole calms Cooper.
COLE
STAND FAST, COOP.
JEFFRIES
(pointing at Cooper)
Who do you think that is there?
ALBERT
(trying to calm Jeffries)
Suffered some bumps on the old noggin',
eh, Phil?
COLE
WHAT THE HELL DID HE SAY?
(pointing at Cooper)
THAT'S SPECIAL AGENT DALE COOPER.
(focusing on Jeffries)
ARE YOU OKAY, JEFFRIES? WHERE THE
HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?
JEFFRIES
I want to tell you everything, but I don't
have a lot to go on. But I'll tell you one
thing: Judy is positive about this.
ALBERT
How interesting. I thought we were
going to keep Judy out of this.
Jeffries stumbles to a chair.
JEFFRIES
Listen to me carefully. I saw one of
their meetings. It was above a
convenience store.
ALBERT
Who's meeting? Where have you been?
COLE
FOR GOD SAKES, JEFFRIES, YOU'VE BEEN
GONE FOR DAMN NEAR TWO YEARS.
JEFFRIES
It was a dream.
(takes Albert by the arm)
We live inside a dream.
ALBERT
And it's raining Post Toasties.
JEFFRIES
(shouting)
NO, NO. I found something... in Seattle
at Judy's... And then, there they were...
Albert is about to say something, but is stopped by Cole's gentle
pressure on his arm.
JEFFRIES
They sat quietly for hours.
53. INT. ROOM ABOVE THE CONVENIENCE STORE - DAY
SIX PEOPLE in a large, barren, filthy room. Cheap plastic storm
windows flap in the cold wind. In the foreground the Man From
Another Place (Mike) and BOB sit at a formica table. Behind them
on plastic torn chairs huddle MRS. TREMOND and her GRANDSON. TWO
BIG WOODSMEN with full beards sit quietly.

THROUGH THE CIRCLE
We see the RED ROOM.
ON THE SCENE
Bob crawls into the Red Room and Mike starts to yell and leaps in
after him.
54. BACK IN THE FBI OFFICE
JEFFRIES
I followed.
Jeffries begins to cry quietly at his table.
JEFFRIES
(to himself)
The ring... ring...
COLE
(hinting)
ALBERT, I'LL TAKE THAT SECOND
MINERAL WATER.
After a hesitation, Albert gets the "message" and discreetly leaves
the room.
COLE (continued)
PHILLIP, LET'S CALM DOWN AND GET ALL
OF THIS INTERESTING STORY ON PAPER.
Cole tries to raise someone on the intercom but it doesn't seem to
have any juice.
COLE (continued)
(into the speaker)
HELLO... HELLO.
He is getting nothing. The static begins to build on the intercom.
The wiring in the wall and the flourescent lights start to hum as
well.
COLE (continued)
LET ME HEAR SOME GOOD NEWS. MY
DEVICE IS FAULTY. WHERE THE HELL IS
THE SOUND IN THIS THING?
(pounds on the intercom)
MAYDAY...
Hearing "May", Jeffries turns and stares at a _calendar_on_the_wall_.
Move into Jeffries.
JEFFRIES
May? 1989?
CLOSEUP: JEFFRIES
Staring at the calendar. it is 1989.
BACK ON THE SCENE
Cooper looks out of the room to see if anyone is coming to help Cole
who is still trying to get the intercom to work. The static grows
even louder.
COLE
WHAT... AM I ALONE?
Cole turns back to Jeffries. _But_there_is_no_one_there_. Jeffries
is gone. Papers from Cole's desk are now sticking to Jeffries chair.
COLE
HE'S GONE.
COOPER
(coming back into the room)
What?
COLE
ALBERT, COME BACK HERE. HE'S GONE
CALL THE FRONT DESK.
ALBERT
(on the phone)
I've got the front desk right now. He
never was here. No record of him
entering the building... and the doctors
should be here any minute.
COLE
(frustration building)
GREAT. I, MYSELF, AM GOING TO BE
READY FOR THEM.
COOPER
What's going on?
Albert rushes back into the room.
COLE
QUICKLY MEN... WORD ASSOCIATION,
COOP. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT
RIGHT NOW?
COOPER
Teresa Banks.
COLE
ALBERT?
ALBERT
Tylenol.
COLE
(to Cooper)
WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT TERESA
BANKS, COOP?
COOPER
It was a year ago today that Teresa
Banks was killed. I'm wondering if the
murderer will ever kill again.
COLE
ALBERT, WHY TYLENOL?
ALBERT
No offense, sir, but after a day with you
it is mandatory.
55. INT. BUENOS AIRES HOTEL CORRIDOR - SAME
Jeffries is suddenly standing in the second story hallway of the
Buenos Aires Palm Deluxe Hotel. The wall behind him is seared black
and smoking. A terrified MAID is whimpering and scampering away from
Jeffries trying to stave away an epileptic fit. She is looking at
him like he is the devil personified.
The bellhop had run further away, but has turned back to see Jeffries
reappear. He is afraid to come any closer.
JEFFRIES
(to Bellhop)
Hey... hey...
BELLHOP
(half crying)
Oh, Mr. Jeffries. De shit it come out of
my ass! Santa Maria, where did you go?
They stare at each other as the blackened wall continues to smoke.

Just a minute, Laura.
58. ON THE SIDEWALK
Donna joins Laura.
LAURA
If I am going to get through math today,

speed quick.
DONNA
You didn't do your homework?
LAURA
Noooo...
DONNA
(a pal)
Okay, this test is going to be about the
theorems I told you about last week. You
remember the...
LAURA
Don't tell me now. Tell me right before
the test. I won't be able to remember
long enough.
DONNA
You graduating this year will be proof
that miracles happen.
LAURA
Thanks.
Laura tweaks Donna's cheek.
DONNA
James called me last night looking for
you.
LAURA
When?
DONNA
The usual, 9:15.
LAURA
He probably wanted to drive over.
DONNA
Were you with Bobby? Or are you two
still fighting?
LAURA
No, and yes. I don't know what I'm going
to do about Bobby. I know he is seeing
someone else and that's okay with me,
and he thinks I'm seeing someone else
and that's not okay with him.
DONNA
Are you going to tell him about that
"someone else"?
LAURA
I don't know what to do.
DONNA
You know what your problem is?
(smiles)
You're just too adorable...
LAURA
(smiles back)
You know, I think you're right. I'm just
too adorable.
Donna grabs her and shakes her shoulders.
DONNA

outstretched.
ADMIRERS
"Laura... Donna... Laura... Donna..."
On Donna as they continue down the hall. A cool MIKE NELSON snaps
his fingers ala Bobby for Donna to come to him. Without missing a
beat Donna changes directions. Mike has to hustle to catch up with
her.
MIKE
(putting his arm around Donna)
That's why you need a real man, Babe,
you're tough to handle.
DONNA
And you're the real man?
61. INT. OUTSIDE THE GIRL'S BATHROOM

JAMES
Laura, do you love me?
LAURA
Yes, I love you. I've told you, but it
doesn't really matter.
JAMES
Why? It does.
LAURA
No, it doesn't... just kiss me.
JAMES
It does matter. We're in love.
LAURA
James, you don't know what you are
talking about. Quit trying to hold on so
tight. I'm gone... long gone like a turkey
through the corn.
JAMES
You're not a turkey. A turkey is one of
the dumbest birds on earth.
LAURA
(small smile)
Gobble, gobble, gobble.
He smiles. She kisses him and he responds.
JAMES
Don't ever leave, Laura, ever. I'll never
leave you.
Laura moves into him. A hopeless embrace. His eyes full of hope and
Laura's empty. She pulls him to the floor to make love.
66. EXT. THE HIGH SCHOOL - DAY
A bell rings and, after a moment, STUDENTS and TEACHERS start to move
out. Bobby catches up with Laura and Donna.
66. CONTINUED:
BOBBY
Where were you for the last hour? I've
been lookin' for you?
LAURA
I was right behind you, but you're too
dumb to turn around.
(laughing with Donna)
If he turned around he might get dizzy
and fall down.
Bobby grabs her roughly and spins her around. Students stop and
stare.
BOBBY
(very angry)
I'M NOT KIDDIN'. WHERE WERE YOU?
WHO WERE YOU WITH?
LAURA
Get lost Bobby.
BOBBY
Oh, yeah? You'll be callin' soon and
maybe I'm not gonna be there.
LAURA
(very smooth, cooing)
Oh, come on, sweetie, give me one of

Love ya, Babe.

Are you going to see James tonight?
LAURA
Why are you suddenly so interested in
who I am going to see at night?
Nighttime is my time.
DONNA
You're telling me, but only because you
never let me in on any of it... you're not
going to see Bobby, are you?
LAURA
Maybe.
DONNA
Oh god, Laura.
LAURA
Well, why not?
DONNA
Because Bobby is a loser, you said so
yourself. He's a goon.
(she sighs to herself)
James is the one.
(getting very dreamy)
He loves you with that "lasting love"...
"true love".
Laura looks at Donna.
LAURA
Yes, James is very sweet. Why don't you
get out your violin, Donna?
DONNA
Sweet? God, he's gorgeous.
LAURA
James is very sweet and very gorgeous.
Donna drifts off.
DONNA
I wonder if Mike could ever write a
poem?
Both of them drift off.
DONNA (continued)
Do you think that if you were falling in
space you would slow down after a
while or go faster and faster?
LAURA
Faster and faster. For a long time you
wouldn't feel anything. Then you would
burst into fire... forever.
Donna studies her friend and thinks about what she has said. After
a beat.
DONNA
Maybe I better start our homework.
LAURA
Okay, I suppose I should go home.
DONNA
Call me.
LAURA
Sure. What do you want me to call you?

Laura moves up to her bedroom.
71. INT. LAURA'S ROOM - DAY
Laura comes into her room and drops her books on her bed. She goes
to the window and opens it - takes a package of cigarettes out, pulls
one out and lights it.
She goes to her "public" diary which she keeps on her desk. Opens it
to page one takes out a packet full of cocaine. Like a pro she takes
out her "cocaine gadget" from her purse and takes a snort. Then
another. Big sigh of relief.
Now she moves to her "private" diary behind her dresser - gets a pen,
ready to write and starts to freak out. Pages are missing. First,
she discovers one, then more.
Laura panics. Dropping her cocaine gadget back into her purse and
taking her private diary, she sprints from the room.
72. INT. PALMER HOUSE, ENTRANCE WAY - DAY
Laura runs down the steps nearly colliding with her mom, SARAH PALMER,
coming home with a load of groceries. A cigarette in her mouth.

Laura, honey...
(smoke going into her tearing
eyes)
Cigarette... Cigarette...
Laura takes it out of her mouth.
LAURA
Can I take the car?
SARAH
Sure honey, what's the hurry?
LAURA
I forgot my books at school.
Laura runs from the house.
SARAH
Laura.
LAURA
What?
Laura looks back to see her mom dangling the car keys in front of her.
Laura comes back to get the keys still holding the burning cigarette.
Sarah sternly takes the cigarette from Laura's hand. As they make the
exchange.

You'll never be a smoker if you don't

But Bob isn't real.
LAURA
The pages are gone. That's real.
HAROLD
Maybe.
LAURA
Bob is real. He's been "having" me since
I was 12.
Stunned, Harold doesn't know what to do.
LAURA (continued)
The diary was hidden too well. He's the
only one who could know where it was.
He's getting to know me, now. He's real
He speaks to me.
HAROLD
What does Bob say?
LAURA
(whisper)
He wants to be me... or he will kill me.
HAROLD
No... No...
LAURA
(strangely)
Oh, yes... yes...
Laura starts towards him frightening Harold.
HAROLD
What? Please.
She allows the feeling of Bob to come over her and she begins to
scream. Harold steps back, but Laura grabs him. To his face with
a horrifying expression on hers.
LAURA
FIRE WALK WITH ME.
She buries herself on his shoulder.
LAURA
(whispers)
The trees... the trees...
They break.
LAURA (continued)
You have to hide the diary, Harold. You
made me write it all down. He doesn't
know about you. You'll be safe.
She stares at Harold. Her eyes widen, terrified with suspicion.
LAURA
You're not Bob are you, Harold? If you
are, you can kill me right now. Kill me
right now, if you are.
HAROLD
Laura, no, I'm not. I'm not Bob.
(begins to shake and cry)
Poor Laura. I wish I could help you.
He holds her.
LAURA
I hate him, I hate it. Sometimes I love
it. But now I'm afraid. I am so afraid.
HAROLD
But you're strong Laura... so much
stronger than I... How can I help you? I
can't. I can't even go outside.
Laura reaches up and tenderly touches his cheek.
HAROLD (continued)
What about James? Can't James help
you? You two are so in love.
LAURA
(flat)
He's in love with a girl who's dead.
(handing him the diary)
It _is_ dangerous for you to have it. I'm
sorry.
HAROLD
(thinking only of her)
I'm so sorry, Laura.
She pulls him to her and kisses him passionately.
LAURA
I don't know when I can come back.
Maybe never.
Laura slowly goes out the door. Harold can only watch.
76. EXT. HAROLD SMITH'S APARTMENT - DAY
Laura goes out to the car.
77. INT./EXT. BUICK ROADMASTER - DAY
Laura starts the car and takes a snort of cocaine.
Laura pulls out onto the highway. We stay with her watching her
face - struggling with the prospects of the terrifying future.
78. INT. PALMER DINING ROOM - NIGHT
Laura rushes in to find her mom setting the table. Sarah stops and
stares at Laura.
SARAH
You lied to me about those school books.
I found them upstairs on your bed.
LAURA
(suspicion and paranoia)
What were you doing in my room?
SARAH
I was looking for that blue sweater that
you borrowed which I found balled up in
the bottom of your closet. Now why did
you lie to me? Where did you go?
LAURA
I had to see Bobby. I know you really
don't like Bobby, but there was a
problem and I didn't think you would
understand.
SARAH
Oh, honey, you don't have to lie to me.
Ever. You can tell me anything. I'll
understand.
LAURA
I'm sorry, Mom.
SARAH
Now hurry, dinner's almost ready. Your
father says he's starving.
DISSOLVE TO:
79. INT. PALMER DINING ROOM - NIGHT
Laura is already at the table. Sarah puts the rest of the dinner on
the table and sits down just as LELAND PALMER enters from the kitchen.
He is pretending he is a giant. Using a voice like a giant.
LELAND
(big giant voice)
Hello, Laura. Hello Sarah. Where's my
axe?
(singing)
"I'm hungry".
SARAH
Oh, Leland.
LAURA
(embarrassed)
Dad.
LELAND
(suddenly speaking Norwegian)
Hyggelig a mote dem. Jeg Heter Leland
Palmer.
Translation is: How are you? My name is Leland Palmer.
Laura and Sarah stare at him.
LELAND
The Norwegians are coming next week
and I want you to learn to say what I
just learned in Norwegian. So you can
talk to them. I want you to learn to say,
"Hello, my name is Leland Palmer".
LAURA
But my name isn't Leland Palmer.
SARAH
Neither is mine. And can't we talk
about something serious for a change.
LELAND
This is serious. Mr. Benjamin Horne's
got a delegation of Norwegians coming
in next week and I want both of you to
learn to introduce yourself. Sarah, you
first.
Leland repeats his phrase for Sarah's benefit.
LELAND
Hyggelig a mote dem. Jeg Heter Leland
Palmer.
Sarah stumbles through it.
SARAH
Hyggelig a mote dem. Jeg Heter Sarah
Palmer.
Leland repeats his phrase back to her. Extends his hand in a friendly
handshake.
LELAND
Good. We'll practice some more. Laura,
now you try it.
54.
79. CONTINUED: (2)
Laughingly, Laura does the same thing.
LAURA
Hyggelig a mote dem. Jeg Heter Laura
Palmer.
After Laura is done.
LELAND
All together now...
Leland extends a hand to each of them. An air of insanity seems to
come over the Palmer dining room as they all begin to laugh
hysterically and talk in broken Norwegian.
DISSOLVE TO:
80. INT. LAURA'S ROOM - LATE NIGHT
The clock reads: 11:30. Laura's hands open the window and release
the screen. Laura silently sneaks out the window and down the side
of her house.
81. EXT. SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY - LATER
A big semi comes to a stop at a wide spot in the road. Laura climbs
into the truck.
82. INT. TRUCK - SAME
The TRUCKER smiles. Eager.
TRUCKER
Friend of Leo's, right? Partyland?
Laura begins to unbutton her blouse. Turns and sneaks a toot of
cocaine.
TRUCKER (continued)
(catching her)
Wait a minute. Leo says this is my
party.
Laura puts her hand between his legs.
LAURA
If you can fuck and drive the party
starts right now.
Momentarily taken aback, the trucker stares at her. Laura takes his
hand and puts it on the gear shift.
LAURA (continued)
You shift that one. This one's mine.
She climbs over on top of him.
83. EXT. THE TRUCK - SAME
The stack blows. The truck rolls away onto the road. We watch it as
it moans into the distance - the sound slowly diminishing and fading.
Natures' nighttime sounds take over. Finally, we hear the _hooting_
_of_an_owl_.
84. EXT. PHILADELPHIA FBI OFFICE - DAY
Reestablish.
85. INT. OFFICE - DAY
Albert and Cooper.
ALBERT
Cooper, the ooze of mumbo jumbo is
rising up above our heads. Do you
honestly think Cole's practice of word
association works?
COOPER
The very fact that we are talking about
word association means we are in a
space that was opened up by our
practice of word association. The
world is a hologram, Albert.
ALBERT
Yes, it's a great big psychedelic circus
ride, isn't it, Cooper?
COOPER
Albert.
ALBERT
You said, "Teresa Banks", so you think
something is going on somewhere in the
world right now that is connected with
her murder?
COOPER
Yes. Either right now or right when I
thought of it. The name and memory of
Teresa Banks is haunting me. Lately I
have been filled with a knowingness
that the murderer will strike again.
Because it is only a feeling, I am
powerless to stop it. And another thing,
Albert, when the next murder happens
you will help me solve it.
ALBERT
Let's test it for the record. Will the
next victim be a man or a woman?
COOPER
A woman.
ALBERT
What color hair will she have?
COOPER
Blonde.
ALBERT
Tell me some other things about her.
COOPER
She's in high school. She's sexually
active. She's on drugs. She's crying out
for some help.
ALBERT
You're describing half the high school
girls in America.
(off Cooper's look)
What is she doing right now?
COOPER
(closing his eyes to see a mental
picture)
She is preparing a great abundance of
food.
Albert lets go a small laugh of disbelief and shakes his head in
exasperation.
86. EXT. DOUBLE R DINER - AFTERNOON
Establish.
87. INT. DOUBLE R DINER - AFTERNOON
Laura comes out of the kitchen stacking some of her "Meals on Wheels"
on the counter.
On screen it reads:
"FRIDAY - SIX DAYS BEFORE"
NORMA JENNINGS and SHELLY JOHNSON watch from the cash register.
Shelly is ringing someone out, handing back their change.
NORMA
Shelly, would you give Laura a quick
hand with the "Meals on Wheels"?
SHELLY
I'm kind of busy, Norma.
NORMA
You're not busy, sweetheart, now go.
With a little squeeze of the hand and a gentle shove, Norma moves
Shelly towards Laura who is at the end of the counter.
The door opens to the Diner and ED and NADINE HURLEY come in. Nadine
stops when she sees Norma.
NADINE
I changed my mind, I don't want any
coffee, Eddie.
Nadine goes out. As she walks past Ed he looks at Norma and makes a
"What can I do" gesture.
ED
Sorry, Norma.
Ed goes out.
SHELLY AND LAURA
Shelly approaches sheepishly.
SHELLY
Can I give you a hand getting the dinners
together?
LAURA
That's alright, Shelly. I know you have
better things to do.
SHELLY
(disregarding the jab)
Norma asked me to give you a hand.
LAURA
Okay. You can help me carry them to the
car.
Shelly gathers up a pile of the dinners and takes them out to the
"Meals on Wheels" car.
88. EXT. THE DOUBLE R - DAY
Shelly loads her stuff in the back. She returns to the diner and
Laura follows doing the same.
As Laura places her dinners in the back something catches her eye and
she turns.
LAURA'S POV
Mrs. Tremond and her grandson are standing in the parking lot staring
at Laura. Mrs. Tremond waves to Laura to come over. When Laura comes
to them Mrs. Tremond holds out a framed picture.
TREMOND
This would look nice on your wall.
She hands Laura the picture. It is a picture of a room with flowered
wallpaper and a dark doorway in its corner. Laura's study of it is
interrupted by the grandson.
GRANDSON
He's looking for a book with pages torn
out. He's walking towards the hiding
place. He's moving under the fan now.
ANOTHER ANGLE
Shelly comes out of the Diner with another load of meals. Laura turns
back to her and then back to the Tremonds, who are walking away from
her and are farther away than they realistically could be. Laura
comes to Shelly in a panic.
LAURA
Shelly, you really can help me. I can't
do the "Meals on Wheels" today. I just
can't.
SHELLY
Okay.
Laura runs off. Shelly puts her load into the car as she watches
Laura.
89. INT. DOUBLE R - DAY
Shelly goes to Norma.
SHELLY
Laura just took off. She asked me to do
the run today. Should I do it?
NORMA
What's with that Laura? Yeah, sure,
take a look around. There's no one here
anyway.
SHELLY
You're right. There's no one here.
NORMA
There's no one here.
SHELLY
Norma, are you alright?
Norma just turns away and picks up some dirty dishes.
NORMA
Come back as soon as you can.
SHELLY
If Leo comes here, he won't believe that
I am out doing the "Meals on Wheels".
NORMA
Don't worry, Shelly, I'll handle Leo.
Shelly leaves the diner.
ON NORMA
In the empty diner Norma walks over and sits in a booth. She studies
the empty diner. After a while the cook, TOAD, calls from the
kitchen. A distant forlorn call.
TOAD
Kind of quiet.
CLOSEUP: ON NORMA
She starts to cry.
90. EXT. PALMER HOUSE - DAY
Laura runs home. Holding the picture from Mrs. Tremond throughout.
LAURA
(frantic whispers)
He's looking for the book, he's going to
the hiding place!
LAURA'S POV
She stops and stares. Her house suddenly looks very frightening to
her. She slowly crosses her front yard and enters the house.
91. INT. PALMER HOUSE - DAY
Laura comes in the front door still holding the picture. She crosses
thru the dining room.
92. INT. PALMER HOUSE, STAIRS - DAY
Laura moves ever so slowly up the stairs - the fan still and silent
above her.
At the top of the stairs, she stops and stares at her bedroom door.
Her whole body is shaking. Her hand goes out in front of her. She
touches her bedroom door and inches it open.
93. INT. LAURA'S BEDROOM - DAY
The opening of the door reveals more and more of her room. Suddenly
it reveals Bob standing in her room at her dresser. He has pulled
the dresser away from the wall looking for something.
ON BOB
He is frozen. Smiling at her.
ON THE SCENE
With a scream, Laura bolts from her room.
94. EXT. PALMER HOUSE - SAME
Laura races out of the house still holding Tremond's picture.
95. EXT. PALMER'S NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE
Laura runs across two yards to a large tree and falls to her knees,
crying. She looks up and sees her father come out the front door of
her house. She watches him cross to his car and drive away.
LAURA
(frantic whisper)
What? It can't be... It can't be him... no...
no...
Laura is coming apart, sobbing. Behind her, on the sidewalk,
a NEIGHBOR has noticed her.
WOMAN
Laura...
A closer look reveals how upset Laura is.
WOMAN
What... Laura are you all right?
Laura turns away so the woman can't see her crying. The woman takes
a couple of steps off the sidewalk onto the grass.
LAURA
(trying to hold it together)
I... lost my necklace... it must have
fallen.
Laura mimes that she has found her gold half-heart necklace. She
pretends to be clasping her gold half-heart necklace which was already
around her neck.
LAURA
(clumsily)
Oh, here it is.
Woman moves back to the sidewalk.
WOMAN
Well, I'm glad you found it, darling.
Slowly, Laura stands and moves away - leaving Mrs. Tremond's picture
on the grass under the tree.
96. EXT. PALMER HOUSE
Laura stands in front of her house. Terrified.
97. INT. PALMER HOUSE - SAME
No Bob. Listens to the house... stands in the entrance way.
98. LIVING ROOM - SAME
Laura listens. Hears nothing.
99. STAIRS AND HALLWAY
She stops and stares at the fan then slowly makes her way up the
stairs towards her room.
100. INT. LAURA'S ROOM - SAME
No Bob in her room. The dresser is back in its place. Laura races
out.
101. EXT. PALMER NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS - DAY
Laura runs down the sidewalk.
102. INT. HAYWARD HOUSE - DAY
Donna answers the door. Laura stands there out of breath.
DONNA
Laura?
LAURA
Donna, are you my best friend?
DONNA
Of course...
Laura dives toward Donna and into a hug.
DONNA
What is it Laura? What's wrong?
LAURA
I just want a friend. Just one friend for
just one minute...
DONNA
Laura, how about one friend for the rest
of your whole life?
LAURA
Yes, that's what I want. Thanks D.
DONNA
Okay, L.
(looks into Laura's eyes, a step
toward confronting something
unspoken)
I am your friend... always. But
sometimes... lately... I feel that you
don't like being around me because I am
so uptight.
(off Laura's look)
No, I am uptight. I hate it... I don't want
to be this way, but Laura I don't... I
mean... I'm your friend no matter what
way you are.
LAURA
You know, even when I think about your
face I get happier.
They go in and sit down on the couch.
DONNA
Do you want to talk?
LAURA
No, I want to smoke.
She digs for a cigarette in her purse.
DONNA
I'm in a mess today, too.
(takes a breath)
I'm thinking about doing it with Mike.
What do you think?
LAURA
(still looking for a cigarette)
Donna, you are such a crack up. You
don't even like Mike. Is this what you
are going to do to show me you are not
uptight.
DONNA
This is about sex, not like.
(yells to the kitchen)
Mom, Laura's here and I think I will have
one of those huckleberry muffins.
(to Laura)
You want a muffin?
LAURA
If I can smoke it.
DONNA
You want a muffin?
LAURA
Donna, you are a muffin.
They hear DOC HAYWARD in the kitchen. He walks in with a magician's
handkerchief. With a flourish he tries to pull something out of it.
Instead he stands there empty handed.
DOC
The red rose. Where is the red rose?
(frustrated)
You know the light at Sparkwood and
21? It worked right there. I just did it
right there.
Laura finds a cigarette finally and lights it.
DOC
(stands and stares at Laura
smoking)
Why is it that you can't smoke at your
home and I'm a doctor and I don't allow
smoking in my home and I let you smoke
in my home?
LAURA
(smiling her killer smile)
Because you love me so much.
DOC
I do love you, you little smoking
whipper snapper.
Eileen Hayward brings out the muffins on her lap in her wheel chair.
All four have muffins.
EILEEN
These muffins each have at least seven
full huckleberries in them.
While eating Doc takes out a piece of paper and stares blankly at it.
The girls exchange glances about what Dad is doing as they chew on
the muffins. Doc is struggling.
DONNA
Dad, what in the world are you doing?
DOC
What the hell is this?
Donna peeks over his shoulder.
DONNA
It's a prescription.
DOC
Is it?
DONNA
Dad.
DOC
My handwriting is so bad that now I
can't even read it. You girls better
hurry up and graduate from high school
so you can take care of me.
DONNA AND LAURA
We'll take care of you.
They go over to Doc and give him a knuckle rub. Eileen laughs along
with the two girls. The phone rings and Doc gets it.
DOC
(on the phone)
Yep, she's right here, Leland...
(to Laura)
It's for you. It's your father.
Laura goes tentatively to the phone.
LAURA
Hello...
LELAND'S VOICE
Time to come home for dinner, honey.
Laura hangs up the phone.
LAURA
I gotta go.
Donna leads Laura to the door. There is something wrong and Donna
is beginning to feel it. Donna tries to cheer her up.
DONNA
Goodbye, Muffin.
LAURA
No, you're the muffin.
Laura leaves. As Donna closes the door, Laura calls back to her.
LAURA
No, you're right. I am the muffin.
103. INT. PALMER HOUSE - NIGHT
Laura comes in the door and there is Leland at the dining room table
ready for dinner. Leland sees her.
LELAND
Hi, honey, how's Donna?
LAURA
Fine.
LELAND
School?
LAURA
...school's fine...
LELAND
Sit down... sit down... Are you hungry?
LAURA
Not really.
66.
103. CONTINUED:
Laura just plops into her seat.
LELAND
You didn't wash your hands before you
sat down for dinner did you?
From across the table Leland looks at her fingernails. He stands to
come for a closer look.
LELAND
Let me see.
LAURA
Dad...
CLOSEUP: LAURA'S RING FINGERNAIL
LELAND
Your hands are filthy... look, there is
dirt way under this fingernail.
Sarah, cigarette draped from her lips, is delivering some mashed
potatoes to the table.
SARAH
Leland, what are you doing?
LELAND
Look at this finger here.
He is looking at THE FINGER.
SARAH
Leland...
LELAND
Laura didn't wash her hands before
dinner.
(noticing the necklace)
And look at this.
He reaches for it. Laura's hand flies up and stops him. Leland's
other hand comes up and she lets him take the HALF HEART out.
LELAND
Oh, is this from a lover?
Laura has no response.
LELAND (continued)
Did you get this from your lover?
SARAH
They don't call them lovers in high
school, Leland.
LELAND
Bobby didn't give you this?
SARAH
How would you know if Bobby didn't give
her that?
Leland starts pinching Laura's cheek.
LELAND
(as he is pinching)
Did Bobby give you that or is there
someone new?
SARAH
Leland leave her alone... She doesn't like
that. Stop it.
LELAND
How do you know what she doesn't like?
A beat then a return to what is normal.
SARAH
Oh, Leland, sit down and eat you
dinner.
LELAND
Oh, I'll sit down, but none of us are
going to start eating till Laura goes and
washes her hands.
Leland sits stoically. Laura rises from the table.
104. INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT
As Laura washes her hands, she stares at her reflection. Terrified.
DISSOLVE TO:
105. INT. LAURA'S BEDROOM
LAURA'S CLOCK
It says: 10:35.
106. INT. LELAND AND SARAH'S BEDROOM
Sarah and Leland get ready for bed. Leland stops, stands frozen for
a moment, then begins to cry.
SARAH
What is it, Leland?
Leland can barely speak.
LELAND
I can't remember the last time I told
Laura that I loved her.
Sarah goes to Leland. They embrace, tenderly, across the many years
of their strained marriage.
SARAH
Well, honey, go in and tell her now.
107. INT. LAURA'S BEDROOM
Laura stares at the hands of the clock. With a start, she looks up.
Her father is in her room. He stands in the doorway.
LELAND
Laura, honey...
He moves to her and touches her face.
LELAND (continued)
I love you. I love you so much.
Laura can hardly speak. She squeezes his hand.
LELAND
Goodnight, Princess.
He leaves the room. Laura watches the door close. She sits frozen
for a moment, with a tear in her eye, then she remembers something.
MRS. TREMOND'S PICTURE
The picture lies there in the night dew under the tree in the
neighbor's yard.
108. EXT. PALMER HOUSE, OUTSIDE LAURA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Laura goes down the trellises and runs across the lawn.
109. EXT. NEIGHBOR'S LAWN - NIGHT
Laura hunts around the tree for the picture, finally finds it. She
runs back towards her house.
110. INT. LAURA'S ROOM - NIGHT
Laura climbs through the window and hangs the picture on a little
hook on the wall and crawls into bed. She turns off the light and
stares at the picture in the dark.
DISSOLVE TO:
111. INT. LAURA PALMER'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
She is asleep.
112. MRS. TREMOND'S PICTURE
We hold on the picture. As if by magic, we suddenly begin to move
into the picture - into the room in the picture and thru the dark
doorway in the room in the picture.
On the other side of the dark doorway there is another room.
Mrs. Tremond is standing in that room. She is beckoning us towards
her and beyond her thru yet another doorway. We move thru the second
doorway and on the other side of that doorway there is another room.
Mrs. Tremond's grandson is standing in that room. He is holding his
hands above him as if he is grasping an imaginary glass ball. As we
move towards the space between his hands a ring of fire appears there
and we move thru that into...
113. INT. RED ROOM
The MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE walks into the red room to a table.
A ring lies upon the table.
COOPER ENTERS THE RED ROOM. The Man From Another Place turns toward
Cooper.
MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE
Is it future? Or is it past?... Do you
know who I am?... I am the Arm... And I
sound like this...
The Man From Another Place puts his hand in front of his lips and
makes an Indian Whooping sound.
The Man From Another Place picks up the ring and moves it very close
to us. We recognize it as Teresa Banks' ring. The symbols on the
ring are identical to the symbols of Owl Cave.
Cooper seems concerned.
COOPER
(to camera)
Don't take the ring... Laura, don't take
the ring.
The Man From Another Place moves the ring towards us till the ring
fills the screen.
114. BACK IN LAURA'S ROOM
Laura in a somnambular state is half awakened by a noise. She tries
to move her left arm, but it has fallen asleep. She moves it with
her right arm.
SFX: THE NOISE
It sounds as if someone is calling her name.
ON LAURA
She turns to her right to see who it is, then turning back to her left
she discovers ANNIE BLACKBURN lying in bed with her. Annie has blood
around her mouth. She tries to raise herself and strains to speak.
ANNIE
My name is Annie. I've been with Laura
and Dale. The good Dale is in the lodge
and he can't leave. Write it in your
diary.
ON LAURA'S DOOR
Her mother calls her name. The sound is distant and mournful.
ON LAURA
Laura looks towards her door then turns back to Annie but she is gone.
Filled with fear she looks down and in her hand is Teresa Banks' ring.
SHE SCREAMS. Again, her attention is drawn to her door and her
mother's distant call. Still holding the ring she gets out of bed
and goes to her door and slowly opens it.
It is dark on the other side of the door.
AT THE DOORWAY OF LAURA'S BEDROOM
In the doorway Laura gets a strange feeling in back of her and turns
to look at Mrs. Tremond's picture. There in the picture is Laura
(herself) in the doorway looking back into the darkened rooms where
Mrs. Tremond and her grandson were.
115. MRS. TREMOND'S PICTURE
Laura is in the picture. In the picture Laura turns around in the
doorway of the picture and looks down at her room.
116. LAURA'S PICTURE POV OF HER ROOM
Laura sees herself asleep in her bed.
CLOSEUP: LAURA
Asleep in her bed.
ON THE SCENE
She wakes up from her dream. Trying to clear her head. Looks at the
photo and nothing is there -- looks like the day before. She looks
in her hand and the ring is gone.
Laura gets out of bed and goes to Mrs. Tremond's picture hanging on
the wall. She stares at it. She slowly takes it off the wall and
places it in the trash. Trembling she does two lines of cocaine.
DISSOLVE TO:
117. EXT. PALMER HOUSE - MORNING
Reestablish.
On screen it reads:
"SATURDAY - FIVE DAYS BEFORE"
James comes by on his bike. He beeps out a signal on the bike's horn.
After a beat Laura runs out to him.
JAMES
Where were you last night? We were
supposed to get together. You didn't
show up.
LAURA
You were supposed to show up. Maybe I
wasn't.
JAMES
We were supposed to be together.
LAURA
How can I be together if I'm not
together?
JAMES
You're on somethin' again, aren't you?
LAURA
James...
JAMES
When am I going to see you?
Leland comes out the door of the house. Looks at Laura and James.
Laura can feel him staring.
LAURA
I gotta go.
James just looks at her then guns his bike and roars away.
Laura walks back to the front door where her father stands.
LELAND
Who was that?
LAURA
A friend from school.
LELAND
A special friend?
Laura looks at her Dad, eyeball to eyeball for a moment. Then she
walks past him to the stairs.
118. INT. THE STAIRWAY - DAY
The fan turns slowly as Laura goes up the stairs.
BOB'S VOICE
Laura.
Laura's head snaps around.
LAURA
No... No, go away.
BOB'S VOICE
I'm glad you let me talk to you. You
used to not let me talk to you.
LAURA
Go away. I am not talking to you.
BOB'S VOICE
I want you.
Sarah Palmer is at the bottom of the stairs.
SARAH
Laura?
Laura jumps.
SARAH
Laura, now I can't find that blue
sweater. Did you take it again?
LAURA
Mom... what are you wearing?
Sarah looks down. She is wearing the sweater that she is looking for.
SARAH
My god, I am going to have another
breakdown. God, god.
LAURA
Mom, take it easy.
Laura starts down the stairs towards her mother.
SARAH
No, no... this can't be happening.
Laura holds her mother.
LAURA
Mom, you're not having a nervous
breakdown.
Sarah pulls away from Laura and wanders into the living room. Laura
watches her go feeling helpless.
119. INT. JOHNSON'S KITCHEN - DAY
LEO JOHNSON is ragging on Shelly. He is down on his hands and knees
showing her how to scrub the floor.
LEO
Someone who knows how to clean knows
where the object was before she
started cleaning and then that object
goes back to its exact same spot.
Shelly, I know where everything in this
house is. Sometimes on the road I
mentally go through this whole house
and picture where every item is.
SHELLY
Lay off the bennies, Leo.
LEO
(continuing his tirade)
Anybody can clean the surface of an
object, but dirt can find its way
anywhere. To really clean, you have to
scrub below the surface.
(shouting)
WHERE THE DIRT IS, SHELLY.
He scrubs more.
LEO (continued)
That's one thing you are going to learn,
Shelly, - HOW TO CLEAN. It takes
scrubbing, Shelly. There is no easy way.
THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE, SHELLY.
SHELLY
As if I didn't know.
LEO
I'm going to show you how to wash this
tile and then you're going to do it.
SHELLY
Come off it, Leo. I'm late for work...
LEO
What did you say?
Leo goes over the top pulls Shelly down to the floor.
LEO
Shelly, I am not fooling around anymore.
The first thing you've got to WORK on is
a good attitude. That's the key.
Anybody will tell you that.
Gives her a good shot to the back of the head. Shelly falls to the
floor. The phone rings. Leo gets up to get the phone.
LEO
Don't even _think_ about going anywhere,
Shelly. I'm not finished with you.
He answers the phone.
LEO
What are you doing calling me here?...
No way, you already owe me money...
Five thousand, to be exact.
Leo looks over at Shelly suspiciously. (Did she hear him mention the
five thousand?)
SHELLY
(silently mouthing it)
Five Thousand???
120. INT. DOUBLE R - DAY
Bobby is calling from the pay phone at the diner. We hear the end of
the conversation with Leo. Bobby hangs up. He puts in another
quarter and dials again. The phone rings on the other end.
121. INT. ROADHOUSE - DAY
A nearly empty Roadhouse. JACQUES RENAULT answers the phone behind
the bar.
JACQUES
How come you only call me when you are
desperate? Are you desperate, baby?

BOBBY
BOBBY

JACQUES
Maybe, Bobby, baby. Maybe. I have
friend who has what you want. His

Bobby starts to write information down on a napkin.
BOBBY

Jacques... you crazy Canadian. This
sounds BIG...
123. EXT. PALMER HOUSE - NIGHT
Donna drives up in her car and gets out.
124. INT. PALMER HOUSE, LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Laura is having a quick shot from the family liquor cabinet. A knock
on the door. Laura pulls a jacket on and goes to the door. Opens it
and sees Donna. Donna looks at her coat.
DONNA
Where are you going?
LAURA
No place, fast.
(a warning)
And you're not coming.
DONNA
Come on, Laura. I'm your best friend.
They move back into the living room.
LAURA
(change of subject)
Isn't tonight the night you are going to
do it with Mike?
DONNA
Laura, aren't you going to fix me a
drink?
Laura shoots her a look.
DONNA
Where are the Cookies?
LAURA
You mean Fred and Ginger?
DONNA
Dancing.
Donna looks around at all the ashtrays filled to the brim with butts.
DONNA
(looking at the cigarettes)
If I had a nickel for every cigarette your
mom smoked, I'd be dead.
LAURA
Gotta go, Donna. I'll call you tomorrow.
Laura leaves the house. Donna trails behind.
125. EXT. PALMER HOUSE - NIGHT
Laura gets into her Mom's Roadmaster and takes off. Donna watches
her go and gets in her car and follows.
126. INT. THE ROADMASTER - NIGHT
At the first stop sign Laura takes another hit of cocaine.
127. EXT. ROADHOUSE - NIGHT
Laura parks her car and gets out. At the entrance to the Roadhouse
she meets the LOG LADY, who seems to be waiting for her. She steps
close to Laura.
LOG LADY
When this kind of fire starts. it is very
hard to put out.
The Log Lady touches her. Her hand is cooling on Laura's head.
Laura moves in behind it. Pushing the cool hand into her face and
forehead.
LAURA
(whispers)
Margaret?
LOG LADY
The tender bows of innocence burn first
and the wind rises - then all goodness
is in jeopardy.
They look into each other's eyes. The Log Lady turns and leaves.
128. INT. ROADHOUSE - NIGHT
LOTS OF BIKERS and the usual gang. On stage a SINGER sings.
As Laura comes in she makes eye contact with Jacques Renault who is
behind the bar. Laura sits at a table.
Jacques nods to a COUPLE of BURLY TRUCKERS who come over to Laura
with drinks. One of them slides her a fifty with a packet of cocaine
inside.
TRUCKER
Let's go around the world, babe.
LAURA
This isn't going to get you to Walla-
Walla.
They all take a drink.
TRUCKER
You do go all the way, don't you, little
girl?
LAURA
Sooner or later.
Laura reaches below the table grabbing him hard by the balls.
LAURA
You willing to go all the way? Huh? You
wanna do it for me. All the way for me
means all the way - DEAD.
The trucker turns a couple of shades towards white. Donna comes in
just as a beautiful song of lost love begins.
Laura and Donna see each other -- As the truckers toss down bourbons
and beer chasers, Laura gets _lost_in_the_song_and_starts_to_cry_.
Donna just stares at her from the other side of the Roadhouse.
AFTER THE SONG
Donna stands and walks over to Laura's table. She reaches down,
picks up one of the trucker's bourbons and downs it.
DONNA
Let's boogie.
TRUCKER
(to Donna)
You part of the deal?
LAURA
(answering for her)
No, she isn't.
Laura and Donna stare at each other. For Donna's benefit, Laura
turns and gives a big, juicy French kiss to one of the truckers.
LAURA
(to the trucker)
What was your name again?
TRUCKER
Buck.
LAURA
Buck, that was really nice.
Donna grabs Buck's buddy, TOMMY, and gives him the same type kiss.
LAURA (continued)
(very serious)
All right, Donna. Let's go.
129. EXT. HIGHWAY 21 - NIGHT
The car barrels down the highway. It's a beat up Chevy Biscayne,
with a hot monster engine under the hood.
130. INT. CAR (BISCAYNE) - NIGHT
Tommy drives sitting next to a case of ice cold beer. Donna and
Laura sandwich Buck in the back seat. Donna takes a long swig of
beer. Laura hides a hit of cocaine from Donna.
DONNA
(to Laura, a little afraid)
What are you doing?
LAURA
Nothing.
Laura laughs at Donna then holds a beer up to show Donna, then turns
and French kisses Buck. Donna reaches forward to the front dash and
turns the radio up full blast. Buck and Tommy start to whoop and
yodel like cowboys.
Buck does an Indian whoop in Laura's face. Laura freezes in horror.
131. FLASHBACK: THE RED ROOM
The Man From Another Place (The Arm) yodels.
132. INT. CAR (BISCAYNE)/HIGHWAY 21
Slowly Laura reaches over and touches Buck's face and arm. Buck
uncorks another yodel. The fear leaves Laura.
DONNA
(to Laura)
I'm goin' for it.
Donna starts making out with Buck.
133. EXT. BORDER TRUCK STOP - NIGHT
Establish. Tommy takes the car like a rocket into the parking lot
and does a complete three sixty before rocking to a stop. Several
big rigs shadow the lot. They all pop out of Buck's car sporting
"long necks".
Laura takes a hit of cocaine and looks up to see Donna watching.
Buck circles Donna with his big arm and puts a toot under her nose.
DONNA
No.
(turns to Laura)
I don't need to take this to be you
friend.
LAURA
YES YOU DO, DONNA. What a downer you
are!!!
BUCK
(pointing to skid marks behind a
heat popping car)
Hey, Tommy, Jacques beat us here.
TOMMY
Hold on, I'm chokin' the farm fed.
Tommy stands in the lot with his back to them, pissing.
134. INT. BORDER TRUCK STOP - NIGHT
The front room is a bar and restaurant with about THREE PATRONS.
Above the bar is a sign that reads:
CAN - A - DO and U.S. OF FUCKIN' "A"
The BARTENDER presses a release underneath the counter that allows
Laura to take her three friends thru a door over which a sign hangs
announcing in red neon letters:
"PARTYLAND"
135. INT. PARTYLAND
The group enters a large room with the filthiest wall to wall carpet
imaginable. In the back corner is a small stage. On it a three
piece HELL-METAL BAND is building up toward oblivion. The LEAD SINGER
is dressed in a buffalo skin complete with at least half the buffalo
head and horns. He wears spray painted, day glow orange cowboy boots.
Some HALF DRESSED GIRLS and COWBOYS are dancing to the band. In
darkened corners away from the stage other groups are racing the
band to oblivion.
Laura leans over to Donna noticing her shocked look.
LAURA
Don't expect a turkey dog in here.
Jacques Renault comes up to the group.
JACQUES
Hey, slow pokes, guess what? There's no
tomorrow.
He grabs Laura up and gives her a big, sloppy wet kiss.
JACQUES
Baby, you know why? Cause it'll never
get here.
LAURA
Hey, Jacques...
JACQUES
(slurred)
No "Jacques". I am the Great Went.
LAURA
(for Donna)
I am The Muffin.
JACQUES
And what a muffin you have.
The two truckers laugh with Jacques. He mimes a gun with his right
hand and pointing it to his forehead pulls the trigger with a weak,
slack cheeked puff sound.
JACQUES
(slurred)
I am as blank as a fart.
Laura winks at Buck as he SECRETLY drops a red depth charge into
Donna's beer.
LAURA
Hey, Donna, chug-a-lug.
As the cowboys gather around and begin to chant, both Laura and Donna
chug down their drinks. They finish and Laura smiles and pushes
Donna out onto the dance floor.
They start to dance expertly and smile at each other. Soon Buck and
Tommy cut in separating the two.
Buck dances Laura over to ANOTHER of his buddies. The two of them
start to unbutton Laura's blouse as they dance.
The hell-metal band kicks into high gear. In the pulsating red and
black light Donna sees Laura now topless dancing and kissing with
Buck and his friend. Donna stops. Jacques sweeps in.
JACQUES
Oh, Laura's friend. I am "The Great
Went".
Jacques holds her head in his huge hands.
JACQUES (continued)
There is no tomorrow.
DONNA'S POV
The room starts to spin.
DISSOLVE TO:
WE MOVE AROUND THRU THE EVENING
136. INT. ROADHOUSE
DONNA
A completely stoned Donna is being dances around by Tommy, who is
falling in love with her. Through some dancing legs and feet she
spots Laura's blouse on the floor. Teetering she leans over, picks
up the blouse, and ties it around her waist.
RONETTE PULASKI, flying high, makes her way through the crowd to
Laura. They spot each other and give each other a hug.
RONETTE
You smell nice.
LAURA
Haven't seen you since I was thrown out
of One Eyed Jacks.
RONETTE
(trying to focus on Laura)
What else did we do together? Oh, I
remember...
(tries to dance with Laura)
Hey, you know what? It's been a year.
She's been dead a year... she's been dead
a year.
Jacques comes up to them.
JACQUES
The party twins. My high school
sandwich. Let's put some meat inside...
The three of them move around together.
RONETTE
She's been dead a year.
JACQUES
Who?
RONETTE
Teresa...
LAURA
Teresa Banks? Yeah, a whole year.
RONETTE
Yeah, she was going to get rich... she
was blackmailing somebody...
JACQUES
That's right. She called me. She even
asked me what your fathers looked
like...
LAURA
(jolted)
What? She asked about my father?
JACQUES
But it wasn't him... she was after a huge
guy, six foot four with a broken nose.
She said he looked just like a boxer.
Speaking of sandwiches... I think Bobby
was arranging something for you...
(gets the idea)
Speaking of arrangements...
(louder)
SPEAKING OF ARRANGEMENTS... Why
don't you two come up to the cabin this
week? Leo and I know that Santy Claus
is coming to town... Thursday.
Ronette, Laura, and Jacques sway with distorted smiles.
RONETTE AND LAURA
(as they hug and almost kiss)
Okay, Jacques.
LAURA
(turning to kiss Jacques)
"The Great Went".
Buck and another FRIEND move in on Laura and Ronette. Buck pushes
Laura down on the carpet and gets on behind her. His friend does
the same to Ronette. The two girls find themselves face to face.
RONETTE
Here we go again. Like we're back at
One Eyed Jacks.
LAURA
(moaning with pleasure)
Oh, god. It sure is.
Ronette looks over Laura's shoulder.
RONETTE
Shit, is that Donna Hayward?
Laura looks across the rug through dancing legs and sees Donna's head
tilted way back with some NEW COWBOY on top of her.
CLOSEUP: LAURA'S FACE
Seeing Donna.
BOB'S VOICE
SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO
DONNA?
LAURA
(screaming)
NO! GOD, NO...
ON THE SCENE
Laura stumbles and runs to Donna grabbing Jacques on the way.
LAURA (continued)
(screaming to Jacques)
Get her out of here... get her out.
He doesn't seem to be listening.
LAURA (continued)
(shouting)
JACQUES...
Laura falls full of panic to Donna.
LAURA (continued)
Donna, what are you doing?
Rips her blouse off her waist. Donna is completely gone. Laura
shakes her and screams into her face.
LAURA (continued)
Don't ever wear my stuff, don't ever
wear my stuff. Never.
DONNA
(mumbling)
Okay, I won't wear your stuff... Why
can't I wear your stuff?
LAURA
Jacques, help me get her home. NOW!
Jacques lifts Donna up and Laura follows Jacques and Donna out of
Partyland. Donna continues to mumble.
DONNA
I won't wear your stuff.
(then laughing)
I promise.
LAURA
(crying, holding Donna's hand)
Not you, Donna, not you.
137. EXT. TWIN PEAKS CHURCH - SUNDAY MORNING
On the screen it reads:
"SUNDAY - FOUR DAYS BEFORE"
FOLKS filing out of church. A COUPLE strolling down the sidewalk.
A happy dog bounds about.
138. EXT. BIG ED'S GAS FARM AND THE HURLEY HOUSE - DAY
Out in the yard of the Hurley House Ed Hurley tries to skin a deer
which is hanging off a branch of a tree. He is not having much luck
and is not showing much enthusiasm either. Nadine Hurley comes
storming out the house with her own very large butcher knife - very
upset with Ed's progress.
NADINE
ED... ED.
(pushing him away)
I'll take over here.
Ed backs off and Nadine dives in slicing.
NADINE
You were cutting this deer like a
sissy... Sit down and watch while I do
it. AGAIN. THIS YEAR.
Ed slowly backs into the house.
139. INT. HURLEY HOUSE - DAY
Ed joins his assistant, SPARKY, and they stand in the living room
gazing out the window at Nadine ferociously skinning the deer.
ED
(with a wink)
Works every year...
They laugh.
SPARKY
Sure wouldn't work at my house. My
wife couldn't take the wrapper of a
twinkie.
140. EXT. CLEARING IN THE WOODS - DAY
SHERIFF TRUMAN and JOSIE PACKARD break from a kiss. Smiling, Truman
goes back to gently strumming his guitar.
TRUMAN
Josie, I think we should go public.
JOSIE
That would be wonderful, but it's only
been a year since Andrew died.
TRUMAN
What are you afraid of? What people
think?
JOSIE
I don't want to offend the customs of
your country.
TRUMAN
Believe me, Josie, you would not offend
the customs of this country. For
instance, I don't eat fish eyes.
JOSIE
Fish eyes?
TRUMAN
Even if it offended someone, I wouldn't
eat a fish eye.
JOSIE
Why wouldn't you eat a fish eye, Harry?
TRUMAN
I saw a guy eat a fish eye once in
Seattle. He was digging through his
food with his chopsticks for about five
minutes till he found the fish eye and he
dropped it into his throat. I guess it
must have gotten stuck in his uvula
because right away he started to have
trouble. His throat began to flutter
there like there was a wind blowing.
And he couldn't swallow and they rushed
to him and loosened his collar and they
were asking him if he was alright and
he started to turn blue and his eyes
started to roll back into his head and he
still couldn't get the fish eye out and
they tried to do a Heimlich maneuver. I
went over to him as they were
preparing to do an emergency
tracheotomy. They were over him with
a knife when he suddenly shot the fish
eye out of his throat and right onto the
ceiling. Splat! It just stuck up there
and spread out. It was about the size of
a half dollar. And that's why I don't ever
eat fish eyes.
He plays the guitar for Josie. Then stops.
TRUMAN (continued)
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, it's
just the way I feel. It's the custom
thing I was thinking of. In America we
don't use any part of the fish but the
meat just to the side of the insides. We
throw away the tail, the rest of the
insides and the head.
JOSIE
I understand.
TRUMAN
We throw away the _whole_ head.
141. INT. MOTEL ROOM - DAY
PHILIP GERARD, the one armed man, in a deep sweat kneels in front of
a circle of twelve lit candles, fighting for air and struggling to
hear something.
142. INT. HAYWARD HOUSE, LIVING ROOM - DAY
Donna and Laura sit across from one another on the couch.
DONNA
I can't remember anything about last
night. Is there something I should
remember?
LAURA
No, you should forget about last night.
DONNA
Laura, I am your friend.
LAURA
I know you are and you don't have to do
anything crazy to prove it.
DONNA
You're not mad at me?
LAURA
No.
DONNA
I feel so bad. I had nightmares all night
long.
(studies her friend)
They all knew you at that place.
LAURA
What can I tell you?
DONNA
How did the car get back here?
LAURA
WE got it back, that's all.
DONNA
How did I get in the house? How did I
get into my bed?
LAURA
I can't help you there.
DONNA
Was I wearing something of yours and
you got mad at me?
LAURA
All my things have me in them. I don't
want you to be like me.
DONNA
But I love you, Laura.
LAURA
And I love you, too. But don't wear my
stuff.
DONNA
Why do you do it, Laura?
LAURA
Cause I like it.
She takes Donna's head into her hands and kisses her.

Leland is standing at the other end of the room. As he stares at the
girls we move in on his face.

LELAND FLASHBACK
Leland looking into another room seeing Laura and Ronette sitting face

144. ON THE SCENE
Leland looking at the girls.
LELAND
Excuse me, honey...
Laura turns to him with a start.
LELAND (continued)
We're late to meet Mom for breakfast.
DONNA
(to Laura)
Catch you later.
Leland and Laura leave.
145. INT. LELAND'S CAR - DAY
Leland and Laura drive along. Leland becomes preoccupied with
something in his rear view mirror. Laura turns to see a car
erratically coming up behind them. Leland slows down and stops for
a red light at Sparkwood and Twenty One. In front of them is a huge
logging truck. Laura smells something.
LAURA
Dad, is the engine on fire? Something
is burning.
Leland turns and gives her a look.
The car that was tailing them races around them, races around the
logging truck, and comes back around stopping on Leland's side of
the car.
Leland spots Gerard, the one armed man, behind the wheel - sweating
like crazy.
LAURA (continued)
Something is burning.
Leland starts to rev his engine while holding the brake with his left
foot.
LELAND
It's the engine.
GERARD
You stole the corn. I had it canned
above the store.
Leland is panicked. The car is slowly screeching towards the large
lumber truck in front of them.
GERARD
(shouting at Laura)
Miss, the look on her face when it was
opened. There was a closeness. Like
the formica table top.
The car is now smoking and making a horrendous sound. Gerard
continues to yell, but we can barely hear it.
GERARD
The thread will be torn, Mr. Palmer, the
thread will be torn.
Leland turns to Laura. Sweat pours from his forehead.
While Leland is turned away, Gerard holds up his hand with a ring on
the little finger. He is shouting over the engine noise and the horn
which Leland has begun to blow frantically.
GERARD
(shouting)
It's him. It's your father.
Laura can't make this out over the noise.
The light turns green. Gerard takes off away from them. As soon as
the logging truck moves Leland lets go of the brake and the car flies
into a service station on their right. Everyone around there has been
watching a commotion on a Sunday afternoon.
LAURA
DAD!... What was that all about? Who
was that?
A YOUNG MECHANIC runs up to their car.
MECHANIC
Mr., Mr., you shouldn't do that to your
engine. You ought to take it easy, Mr.,
you're going to burn your engine out.
LELAND
What the hell was all that? Why doesn't
someone do something about all of this.
My god, that guy came out of nowhere.
He was harassing my daughter.
Leland stares at Laura trying to compose himself.
LAURA
Dad, are you all right?
146. INT. PALMER HOUSE
CU FLESH WORLD MAGAZINE/LELAND FLASHBACK
The Title "Fleshworld" on a magazine. In the magazine we see Leland
find a picture of Teresa Banks. He whispers.

Leland dials the phone.
147. INT. BLUE DIAMOND CITY MOTEL ROOM
CU TERESA BANKS
She is talking on the phone.
TERESA
That sounds like fun... Where did you see
my picture?... Okay, come to the Blue
Diamond City Motel... Yes, that's just

there. Room one two three... Right, as in
"Get Ready".
LELAND
On top of Teresa in bed. All whispers.
TERESA
(smiling)
When's the next business trip, big fella?
LELAND
Soon. How about next time we party
with the girlfriends you told me about?
TERESA
I can arrange that. I like that.
He kisses her and covers her eyes with a hand.
TERESA
What are you doing?
LELAND
Who am I?
TERESA
I don't know.
LELAND
That's right.
End of flashback.
149. BACK IN THE CAR WITH LAURA
Leland is still sitting and staring at Laura.
LAURA
(trying to get his attention)
Dad... Dad... Who was that? How do you
know him? He looked familiar. Have I
met him?
LELAND
No, you haven't met him. Have you met
him?
LAURA
No.
LELAND
We're late to get to your mother.
LAURA
Just sit here for a moment. You seem
very upset.
LELAND
(mumbling to himself)
Guy just pulls up out of the blue... I
mean... what is this world coming to?
150. LELAND FLASHBACK - BLUE DIAMOND CITY MOTEL
Open on a sign saying Blue Diamond City Motel.
Leland comes down an outside walkway towards an open room. Suddenly,
he stops short and jumps back. He cautiously takes a second look and
sees Laura and Ronette sitting on the edge of a king size bed talking.
Leland is about to leave when there is a tap, tap, tap on his back.
He spins around to see Teresa Banks who has come up behind him.
TERESA
What's wrong?
LELAND
(moving further from the room)
Nothing, I chickened out.
He shoves a wad of money into her hand and practically runs away.
Teresa cocks her head and wonders, while she watches him hurry away.
End of Flashback.
151. BACK IN THE CAR WITH LAURA
Leland and Laura are in the car. Leland starts the car.
LAURA
Are you sure you're okay?
LELAND
Yes.
Leland pulls out onto the road. After they drive for a bit.
LAURA
Dad?
LELAND
Yes.
LAURA
Did you come home during the day last
week?
LELAND
No.
LAURA
Oh, I thought I saw you.
LELAND
You know, I did come home, come to
think of it, on Thursday. I had a severe
headache and I was driving in the
neighborhood so I just darted in and out
of the house.
(studies Laura)
Where were you, Laura? I didn't see
you?
LAURA
I was down the street.
Laura studies the look in her father's eye as long as she dares and
then turns away.

Don't be late.
She takes off down the hall. Rounding another corner she sees James
coming towards her. James looks around to see if the coast is clear
and seeing it is, moves close to her.
JAMES
I've got to see you.
LAURA
Not now.

Okay.

Open on Laura's picture on top of Ben Horne's desk. Then discover
that Leland is staring at Laura's picture.
Wider we see BENJAMIN HORNE trying to blow up a large rubber Indian
for his son JOHNNY. SYLVIA and JERRY HORNE stand nearby supervising.
Johnny comes up one inch in front of Leland's face.
JOHNNY
Happy Birthday, Johnny.
LELAND
Happy Birthday, Johnny.
Johnny moves to one inch in front of Jerry's face.
JOHNNY
Happy Birthday, Johnny.
JERRY
Happy Birthday, Johnny.
Ben reacts to a huge moccasin print in the middle of the birthday cake
in the middle of his office floor.
BEN
Why did we have to have the party here
in my office?
SYLVIA
Because Johnny wants it in your office.
What's so "private" "private" about your
office, anyway? Why can't we have the
party in your precious office?
JERRY
It's a lovely place for a party, Ben. And
look at the new decorations Johnny's
provided.
They look down and see Johnny's foot completely ringed in white
frosting roses. Frosted footprints trail behind him everywhere.
Johnny goes one inch in front of Laura's picture.
JOHNNY
Happy Birthday, Johnny.
Leland looks again at Laura's picture. He looks up at Ben.
LELAND
(oddly confrontational)
Don't you have a picture of Audrey, Ben?
That sets Sylvia off again.
SYLVIA
Don't you have a picture of your own
daughter, Ben? Where's Johnny's
picture?
(exploding)
And where's _my_ picture I gave you?
BEN
At the photographer's studio getting a
gold frame with floral monograms of
your birthday and our wedding vows.
Johnny moves one inch in front of Ben.
JOHNNY
Happy Birthday, Johnny.
BEN
(trying not to explode)
Happy Birthday, Johnny.
JERRY
Johnny, Johnny... let your Daddy and your
Uncle and Leland talk.

They get goofy over trees.
SYLVIA
I've never heard anything like this
before. The French liking wood anymore
than anyone else likes wood. Are you
three crazy?
LELAND
Sarah's cousin is French and she can't
stop talking about the trees around
here.
JERRY
History is on our side, Ben. It's no
accident that the great explorers were
named Hennepin, Nicollet, Marquette.
LELAND
They were looking for wood.
SYLVIA
(exasperated)
Oh...
As they talk Johnny circles the blowup Indian and with a mighty bang
pops it with his tomahawk. "Bang".

215. INT. JACQUES' CABIN - LATER
Both girls are half naked and have been tied up. WALDO the bird is
screeching. Jacques is straddling Laura and is hurting her badly.
Leo puts a One Eyed Jacks THOUSAND DOLLAR POKER CHIP in her mouth.
LEO
Bite the bullet, baby.
Like a ghost Leland appears in the window.
No one sees him.
Laura continues to scream. Leo gets up and goes for the bottle of
bourbon. He takes a swig and then steps back to Jacques and Laura.
LEO
(referring to Laura)
Let me have a little of that.
JACQUES
(pointing at the bourbon)
Let me have a little of that, baby.
Leo holds the bottle tight. Jacques stands up and decks Leo with his
big French Canadian paw. He grabs the spilling bottle from the floor
and stumbles outside.
216. EXT. JACQUES' CABIN - NIGHT
When Jacques comes out of the cabin, Leland trips him, grabs the
bottle and breaks it over Jacques head, knocking him out cold.
Leo hears the crash and comes outside. He sees Jacques bleeding on
the ground. He panics and weaves down the hill to his corvette and
takes off.
Leland goes into the cabin. His smiling eyes are on Laura while he
rapes Ronette. Laura watches as her fear drives her to hysteria.
217. EXT./INT. LOG LADY'S CABIN - NIGHT
In the darkness the Log Lady holds her log and listens. She hears
distant screams. The camera moves down her leg to reveal her tattoo,
beet red and burning.

Philip Gerard, the one-armed man, runs like a madman up the trail
towards Jacques' cabin.
219. EXT. PATHWAY FROM THE CABIN - NIGHT
With the face of the devil, Leland double time marches Laura and
Ronette out the cabin door and thru the woods.
LAURA
(screaming - pleading for her life)
DADDY... DADDY...
220. EXT. JACQUES' CABIN - NIGHT
Gasping for breath Gerard arrives at the cabin too late. He stares
at the open doorway. Jacques lies passed out at his feet. Gerard
cocks his head straining to hear something. He hears distant screams.
GERARD
Bob, I can hear you singing.
221. INT. TRAIN CAR - NIGHT
Leland hauls the two girls into the train car.
He SLIDES THE DOOR SHUT and it is completely quiet.
BOB AND LELAND going in and out like breathing. The two girls shudder
in the corner as he circles them.
Leland grabs Laura and begins to wrap the twine around her arms
bending the arms back.
LAURA
(whispers)
Are you going to kill me?
222. EXT. WOODS - NIGHT
Gerard tearing thru the woods. The wind comes up carrying with it
cries and screams and the sounds of BOB.
223. INT. TRAIN CAR - NIGHT
Leland hoists Laura up so that she hovers facing the floor a foot
off the ground. He places a mirror on the floor directly under her
face.
IN THE MIRROR
Laura sees herself turn into Bob. Leland screams into space.
LELAND
DON'T MAKE ME DO IT.
LAURA
NO, YOU HAVE TO KILL ME.
LELAND
I always thought you knew it was me.
LAURA
(into Bob in the mirror)
NO! YOU CAN'T HAVE ME.
(to Leland)
KILL ME.
224. EXT. TRAIN CAR - NIGHT
Gerard arrives outside. He bangs on the train door.
GERARD
LET ME IN. LET ME IN.
The door opens a little bit because Ronette is pushing it with her
feet. Gerard reaches up to help her when suddenly she flies over
his head having been hit.
Ronette hits the ground, her unconscious head bent back at an odd
angle.
ECU: GERARD
He listens to the sounds of murder inside the train car.
225. INSIDE THE TRAIN CAR
Laura screaming
Knife entering flesh.
Bob screaming.
Bloody knife thru the air.
Leland screaming.
226. EXT. TRAIN CAR
ECU: GERARD
Gerard leans in to take a look and steps back laughing. he yells out
for Bob to hear.
GERARD (continued)
THAT'S HIS OWN DAUGHTER YOU'RE
KILLING.
He continues to laugh and runs away from the train car.
A few moments later Leland stumbles out of the car carrying the body
of Laura Palmer wrapped in a plastic shroud. Leland's shirt is puffed
out - a bloody towel inside.
227. EXT. WOODS/RIVER - NIGHT
Leland/Bob lowers the plastic shrouded Laura into the river.
228. EXT. GLASTONBURY GROVE - NIGHT
Leland stumbles to the centre of Glastonbury Grove and stops. A
frightening wind carries haunting music. He digs into his pockets
for the pages torn from Laura's secret diary. he tosses them and
the bloody towel to the wind.
He goes to the centre of the circle of the twelve sycamore trees.
The red curtains appear and he passes between them entering the red
Room.
229. INT. THE RED ROOM
It is not empty. Gerard is just leaving the other side of the room.
LELAND walks thru the Red Room after him. He walks down a corridor
and _into_the_Red_Room_again_.
There on the other side of the room Leland sees Gerard and the Man
From Another Place sitting side by side in a chair facing him.
Leland stops when he sees them. He divides. One half becomes Bob -
opaque. The other half floats up and becomes Leland - transparent.
ON BOB
He reaches up and grabs Leland's wound.
ECU - LELAND'S WOUND
Bob heals Leland's wound.
ON THE SCENE.
Gerard and the Man From Another Place speak in unison.
GERARD/THE MAN FROM
ANOTHER PLACE
(subtitled)
(in unison)
Bob, you're not going home without me. I
want all my garmonbozia. (corn)

On screen it reads:
"TWO MONTHS LATER"
232. INT. HOSPITAL EMERGENCY WARD - NIGHT
Annie is being brought in on a stretcher. A NURSE talks to a
PARAMEDIC as they rush her towards the emergency room.
NURSE
What happened?
MEDIC
I don't know. Sheriff Truman just
brought her in from Glastonbury Grove.
233. INT. THE RED ROOM
The Man From Another Place stands with Cooper.
MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE
Is it future? Or is it past?... Do you
know who I am?... I am The Arm... And I
sound like this...
The Man From Another Place puts his hand in front of his lips and
makes an Indian Whooping sound.
COOPER
(looking at the table)
Where is the ring?
MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE
Someone else has it now.
COOPER
That would indicate that it's the future.
MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE
The later events have never been kept a
secret.
COOPER
Where am I? And how can I leave?
MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE
You are here and there is no place to
go...
A pause.
MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE
(shouts)
BUT HOME!
The Man From Another Place begins to laugh uncontrollably.
234. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - NIGHT
A NURSE mops the sweat from Annie's forehead. Annie tries to get
thru to her.
ANNIE
My name is Annie. I've been with Laura
and Dale. The good Dale is in the lodge
and he can't leave. Write it in your
diary.
The nurse pats Annie's forehead and takes her hand. We see
_TERESA/LAURA'S_RING_ on Annie's ring finger. The nurse gently
slides the ring off Annie's finger.
235. INT. ANOTHER ROOM IN THE HOSPITAL
The nurse enters. With an anticipatory smile, then a selfish laugh,
she puts the ring on her finger.

anxiously.

Coop... Coop...

Cooper are you alright?
Not getting any response Truman breaks open the door.
237. INSIDE THE BATHROOM
Cooper, in his pajamas, lies on the floor. The mirror above the sink
is shattered with blood all over it and the sink. Cooper smiles up
at them strangely.
COOPER
(smiling strangely)
I slipped and hit my head on the mirror.
The glass broke as it struck my head.
(laughs)
It struck me as funny, Harry. Do you
understand me, Harry, it struck me as
funny.
DOC
You are going right back to bed.
Doc and Truman help Cooper up.
COOPER
But I haven't brushed my teeth yet.
Cooper smiles at the uneasy pair.
238. BLACK LODGE/RED ROOM
Laura is sitting in a chair. As the end credits begin...
We move back to see that Laura is sitting in Cooper's lap in the
same chair.
FADE OUT.
