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)

                        HAND.  HE'S COME OVER FROM SPOKANE.

        Desmond and Stanley shake.

                                  STANLEY
                        It's a pleasure.  I've heard a lot about
                        you.

                        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.

                        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.

                            (missing the humor)

                        How do you figure?

                                  DESMOND
                        I'll explain it to you.  Do you remember
                        Lil's dance?

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.

                        What?  That's just Gordon's bad taste.

                        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

14.     CONTINUED:

        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...

        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.

                        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

                        No one came to claim the body and no

        As Desmond is doing this, Stanley takes out his SPECIAL MACHINE.
        Desmond looks up from his work and notices.

                        That's what I heard.

                        No one could find those splinters
                        without a machine like this.  And no one
                        had a machine like this.

                                  DESMOND
                        Sure, but let's finish up with this first.

        Getting to work, Stanley's face goes right over Teresa's.

                        Cole said she was 17.

                        there.

        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?

                        He's dead - good and dead.

                                  DESMOND
                        Sorry to hear it.

                        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.

                        Ask Irene over there.

        He gestures thru a door that leads out to the diner, pointing out a
        woman behind the counter.

        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?

                        How come Jack let's you work here?

                        Jack and I are united in holy matrimony.

                        Say no more.

        Stanley is casing the restaurant as Irene pours them a couple of cups
        of coffee.

                        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

                        Came looking for a job with a friend of

                        No, I do not.  I never took cocaine or any
                        other drugs.  I don't take drugs.

                        Nicotine is a drug.  Caffeine is a drug.

                        Who's Shorty?  Those drugs are legal.

                        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".

        An OLD GUY, long and skinny, smoking, gets Desmond's attention.

                        You talking about that little girl that

                        You think we ought to question him?

        Stanley checks his watch pouring hot coffee on himself.

        Irene comes up to them with her purse in her hand.  She is going off
        duty.

                        You know, I never told anybody, but once
                        for about three days, just before her

                        couldn't use it.  Said it had no feeling.
                        Probably from the drugs she was taking.

                        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

                        In that case, we should go to the Canyon
                        Trailer Park.

        Irene walks past them and towards the parking lot.

        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.

                        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?

                        Not that I know of.  But arguments do
                        happen, don't they?

                                  DESMOND
                        Yes they do.  Did she have visitors?

                        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.

        Desmond notices a picture hanging on the wall.  Takes the picture
        down and looks at it thru his magnifying glass.

        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.

                        Desmond?

                                 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

        Both nod "yes".

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.

                        you're gonna get around here.

                                  STANLEY
                         (watching Desmond drink)
                        We really do need a good "wake me up",
                        don't we, Agent 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'?

                        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.

                        Maybe if you did a little less partyin'
                        that little girl would still be alive.

                        do you get off questioning a lawman?  I
                        could ask you the same question.

                        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?

                        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?

                        What the hell is that thing doing out

                        We're taking the body back to Portland
                        and there's not a thing you can do about
                        it.

                        and we'll have our final "discussion" out
                        doors.

                        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

        Desmond blasts him in the jaw and Cable goes over - lights out, all

        The no longer giggling secretary and Cliff stand and stare.  Desmond

        Stanley and the driver finish loading the body into the van.  Desmond
        and Stanley talk.

                        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.

                        That lamp at the diner.  Do you think
                        they were working on it for esthetic
                        reasons or was their work due to faulty
                        wiring?

                        Esthetics are subjective, aren't they,

                        I'm Sam Stanley.  If you ever need me.

                        Thanks, Sam, for the good work.  You

                        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

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_.

        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?

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.

                              (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.

                        Stanley, I heard all about it.

                        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?

                        No, sir, we did not.

        Cooper straightens up from the microscope.  Stanley extends his hand.

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

                       (gestures to the red trailer)
                        ...which I showed him.  I went back to

                        After that I never saw him again.

                        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)

        Cooper reaches a pack of dirt which is now creased with tire tracks.

                        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


                                                                (CONTINUED)

37.     CONTINUED: (2)

        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".

                        Gordon, it is 10:10, on February 15th.

                        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

        Cooper stares at the monitor.  Sees nothing on the screen but an
        empty hallway.

45.     EXT.  BUENOS AIRES HOTEL - DAY

        Nice sunny day.  The dity in all its glory.  On screen it reads:

                              "BUENOS AIRES"

46.     INT.  BUENOS AIRES HOTEL - DAY

        PHILLIP JEFFRIES checks into the hotel.

                                HEAD CLERK
                        Here's your key, Mr. Jeffries.  I hope you
                        enjoy your stay here at The Palm
                        Deluxe.
                              (grabs a note)
                        This is for you.  The joven...  ah...  young
                        lady...  she left it.

        Rings the bell.  A BELLHOP appears.  Young, sweating, and eager.
        Jeffries hands him the key.

                                  BELLHOP
                        612 --- very nice.

        He picks up Jeffries' bag and heads for the elevator.

47.     INT.  HALLWAY BELOW THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA - SAME

        Cooper runs out to the hall again stares into the camera.  He stays
        there for a moment then runs back to the Surveillance Room.

48.     INT.  SURVEILLANCE ROOM - SAME

        Cooper stares at the monitor which still shows an empty hallway.

49.     INT.  HALLWAY BELOW THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA - SAME

        BACK ON COOPER

        He runs back out the door into the hallway.  Behind him at the end of
        the hall a door opens and _Phillip_Jeffries_who_moments_ago_was_in_
        _Buenos_Aires_ enters the hallway headed towards Cooper, but Cooper
        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.

                        But...

        Cole calms Cooper.

                                   COLE
                        STAND FAST, COOP.

                           (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.

        Albert is about to say something, but is stopped by Cole's gentle

        SIX PEOPLE in a large, barren, filthy room.  Cheap plastic storm
        windows flap in the cold wind.  In the foreground the Man From

        The wiring in the wall and the flourescent lights start to hum as

        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.

                                   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.

                        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)

                        Oh, yeah?  You'll be callin' soon and
                        maybe I'm not gonna be there.

                           (very smooth, cooing)
                        Oh, come on, sweetie, give me one of
                        your smiles.

        Bobby can't hold onto his anger.  Slowly a huge smile spreads across
        his face.

                                   BOBBY
                                 (smiling)

67.     INT.  HAYWARD HOUSE, LIVING ROOM - DAY

        Donna and Laura.  Eating nuts.  Donna is stretched out on the sofa
        and Laura is in a chair with her legs over the top.  She is almost
        upside down.  Nothing going on.

        EILEEN HAYWARD rolls through the living room in her wheelchair and
        makes a quick check of the nut supply.

                                   LAURA

                        Why are you suddenly so interested in
                        who I am going to see at night?
                        Nighttime is my time.

                        You're telling me, but only because you
                        never let me in on any of it...  you're not

                        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.

                        Yes, James is very sweet.  Why don't you

                        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.

        No answer - she heads up to her room.

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.

                                   SARAH
                        Laura, honey...

                                   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.

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

        Laura speeds through Lotown in her mom's '56 Roadmaster Buick.

74.     EXT.  HAROLD SMITH'S APARTMENT - DAY

        Laura skids up outside the apartment.  Then backs the car up to a
        darker, more enclosed area amongst some trees.  Cautiously, she gets
        out of the car and then hurries to Harold's door.

        AT THE DOOR

        Laura frantically knocks at the door.  HAROLD SMITH answers.

                                  HAROLD
                        Laura?

75.     INT.  HAROLD SMITH'S APARTMENT - DAY

        Laura rushes past him to the sofa, opening the book for him to see.

                                   LAURA
                        My secret diary.  There are pages

                        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)

                        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.

                        You have to hide the diary, Harold.  You

                            HAROLD (continued)
                        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.

                        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.

        Laughingly, Laura does the same thing.

        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

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.

                        next victim be a man or a woman?

                                  COOPER

                                  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

                                 picture)
                        She is preparing a great abundance of
                        food.

        Albert lets go a small laugh of disbelief and shakes his head in
        exasperation.

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.

                        hand with the "Meals on Wheels"?

                                  SHELLY
                        I'm kind of busy, 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

                                  (more)


                                                                (CONTINUED)

                             NORMA (continued)
                        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?


                                                                (CONTINUED)

95.     CONTINUED:

        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.

                        What is it Laura?  What's wrong?

                        I just want a friend.  Just one friend for
                        just one minute...

                                 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.

                        Do you want to talk?

                        No, I want to smoke.

        She digs for a cigarette in her purse.

                        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?

                        right there.

        Laura finds a cigarette finally and lights it.

        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?

                        What the hell is this?

        Donna peeks over his shoulder.

                                   DONNA
                        It's a prescription.

                        Dad.

                        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.

        Laura goes tentatively to the phone.

                        Hello...

                        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.

                        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.

                                   LAURA
                        Not really.

        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.

                                  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...

                        Laura didn't wash her hands before

                          (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?

                        her that?

        Leland starts pinching Laura's cheek.

                        How do you know what she doesn't like?

        A beat then a return to what is normal.

                        Oh, Leland, sit down and eat you

                        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.

        Sarah goes to Leland.  They embrace, tenderly, across the many years
        of their strained marriage.

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.

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.

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.

        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.

                        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?

                                   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.

                        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.

                          (continuing his tirade)
                        Anybody can clean the surface of an
                        object, but dirt can find its way

                        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.

                        Come off it, Leo.  I'm late for work...

                        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???

                        Gotta go, Donna.  I'll call you tomorrow.

        Laura leaves the house.  Donna trails behind.

                        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.

        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.

        Laura reaches below the table grabbing him hard by the balls.

                        You willing to go all the way?  Huh?  You

                        means all the way - DEAD.

128.    CONTINUED:

        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.


                                                                (CONTINUED)

                        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 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

                        No "Jacques".  I am the Great Went.

                                  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.

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

        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...

                        That's right.  She called me.  She even
                        asked me what your fathers looked
                        like...

                                   LAURA

                        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)

                        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.

                        "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.

                        Oh, god.  It sure is.

        Ronette looks over Laura's shoulder.

                        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.

                        Don't ever wear my stuff, don't ever
                        wear my stuff.  Never.

                                (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.

                        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

                            TRUMAN (continued)
                        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.

                        I can't remember anything about last
                        night.  Is there something I should
                        remember?

                                   LAURA
                        No, you should forget about last night.

                        Excuse me, honey...

        Laura turns to him with a start.

                            LELAND (continued)
                        We're late to meet Mom for breakfast.

        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.

145.    CONTINUED:

                                  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.,

        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.

                        headache and I was driving in the
                        neighborhood so I just darted in and out

                        Oh god, it's Johnny Horne's birthday
                        today.

                                   JAMES
                        What about tonight?

                        I can't tonight.

                        I just can't, James.  I can't do it.

        Laura keeps going.  Donna comes around next to James.  Together they
        watch Laura walk away.

170.    INT.  GREAT NORTHERN, BENJAMIN HORNE'S OFFICE - DAY

        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.

                        Happy Birthday, Johnny.

        Ben reacts to a huge moccasin print in the middle of the birthday cake
        in the middle of his office floor.

                        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?

                        gold frame with floral monograms of
                        your birthday and our wedding vows.

        Johnny moves one inch in front of Ben.

                        Happy Birthday, Johnny.

                        Yep...

                             PETE (continued)
                        Yes...
                           (another long pause)
                        It is.

        Ed starts to clean his windshield.  Pete points out something on the
        windshield.

                             PETE (continued)
                        You missed somethin', Ed.

                                    ED
                     (moving around, trying to see it)
                        I did?  I didn't see anything.

                                   PETE
                        Yeah...  look in here.  Look at it from this
                        angle.

        Ed puts his head inside the truck.

                                    ED
                        I see it.
                           (reaches up to touch)
                        Hell, it's on the inside, Pete.
                            (flips him the rag)
                        The inside is your territory.

        Pete starts to clean the inside of his windshield while Ed returns to
        work on the outside.

                                   PETE
                              (as he cleans)
                        Even this heavy work beats being at
                        home with the old ball and chain.

                                    ED
                        Brother, I hear you talkin'.

181.    EXT.  THE WOODS - NIGHT

        Bobby and Laura pull into a little clearing.  Bobby kills the lights.
        The doors open.  Laura and Bobby start to make their way thru the
        woods.

182.    EXT.  THE WOODS - NIGHT

        Laura and Bobby continue thru the woods.  It gets spookier and
        spookier.

        They reach the meeting place.  Awesomely quiet until a twig snaps,
        then a distant howling of a wolf.

        Bobby and Laura sit on the floor of the woods and do some more toot.
        Laura picks up a leaf and shows it to Bobby.


                                                                (CONTINUED)

                                   LAURA
                                (whispers)
                        Bobby, I found a leaf.

        After a moment of staring at it, they both begin to giggle.  She
        picks up a twig.

                             LAURA (continued)
                        Bobby, I found a twig.

        They giggle twice as hard.  Laura picks up a pinecone and starts
        knocking him on the head with it.

                             LAURA (continued)
                        Bobby, I found a pinecone.

        They giggle three times as hard and start crawling around giggling.
        Suddenly, they hear footsteps.  They freeze and try to stifle their
        giggles.

                                   BOBBY
                        Here he comes.

                                   LAURA
                        Here he comes.

        They both start laughing again.  They see a guy coming through the
        woods.  We recognize him as the sullen deputy from Deer Meadow,
        Cliff Howard.

                                   BOBBY
                            (suddenly serious)
                        Who sent you?

                                   CLIFF
                        Jacques.

                                   LAURA
                        That's right.

        The deputy takes out a very big bag of coke, showing it to them.

                             LAURA (continued)
                        Wow.

        Laura just grabs it out of his hand.  The deputy takes out his gun.
        Bobby panics and pulls out his gun.  BANG!!

        Bobby shoots the deputy in the shoulder, but the deputy still prepares
        to shoot at Bobby so Bobby shoots him again.  This time in the chest.

        The deputy spins and tries to run, but Bobby shoots him in the back.
        He topples over dead.

        BOBBY AND LAURA

        They stand there frozen.  Absolutely no more giggles.

                             LAURA (continued)
                        God, Bobby.  What did you do?

        They just stand there looking at the dead body.

                                   BOBBY
                        I shot him.  Oh, my god, I shot him.

        Bobby starts for the dead body.

                             BOBBY (continued)
                        Come on, you gotta help me.

        With Laura's help they get the body back to the clearing.  They fall
        down to their knees, out of breath, staring at what they have done.
        Their faces register the shock of having just killed someone.  Laura
        looks at Bobby's stunned expression.

                                   LAURA
                        Look at your face.

        A laugh squirts out of Laura.  Bobby turns to her in disbelief.

                             LAURA (continued)
                        Bobby, you killed Mike.

        Bobby stares at her for a second like Laura has gone insane.

                                   BOBBY
                        This isn't Mike.
                        (suddenly unsure - surreal)
                        Is this Mike?

                                   LAURA
                        Bobby...  ssshhhh...  you killed Mike.

        Bobby breaks.  They begin to laugh uncontrollably.

183.    EXT.  WOODS - NIGHT

        Wide shot.  The distant sounds of Bobby and Laura laughing.  Up
        closer the wind takes over and even closer the hooting of an owl.

                                                        DISSOLVE TO:

        THE FAN SPINNING

        Then - THE FAN'S POV down on Laura entering the stairwell.  We drift
        down on Laura.

                                BOB'S VOICE
                        I want to kill thru you.

        Laura stops cold on the stairway.

                                   LAURA
                               (looking up)

                        No.  Never.  You'll have to kill me.

                                BOB'S VOICE

        Laura looking up petrified.

        On screen it reads:

                       "WEDNESDAY - ONE DAY BEFORE"

        Bobby catches up with Laura in front of her locker.  He shows her the
        ten thousand they were going to use to pay for the drugs last night.

                                   BOBBY
                        Babe, I'm on my way out to the woods to
                        divvy up the product.  Put this cash in
                        your safety deposit box...
                                (whispers)
                        It's ten thousand dollars.

                                   LAURA
                           (acting real serious)
                        You killed Mike.

        Bobby is about to get really pissed when Laura starts laughing again.
        Bobby fights to stay in control.

                        I'm not going to give you this if you
                        don't stop laughing.  It's not one god
                        damn bit funny.

        Laura stifles her laugh with all her might.  Bobby hands her the
        money.  After a beat Laura starts to laugh, but stops herself again
        by biting her lip.  Bobby is furious and scared.  Laura covers her
        mouth.  Bobby breaks again.

186.    EXT.  THE WOODS - DAY

        Bobby's car skids to a stop.  Bobby jumps out and pops the trunk.
        He unwraps the big bag of cocaine from a blanket.  He tears a little
        hole in it to enjoy a taste test.  The second it touches the tongue
        he panics and frantically takes a deeper test.

                                   BOBBY
                                (screaming)
                        LAXATIVE!

        He sprays and throws the powder every which way in a rage.

                             BOBBY (continued)
                        SSSSHHHIIITTTT!!!

187.    INT.  LAURA'S ROOM - NIGHT

        Laura lies in bed.  She leans over to the bedside table and snorts a
        line.  The phone rings and startles her.  She answers it.

                        Laura, you didn't come and see me today.

                        I couldn't it was Johnny Horne's
                        birthday.  I promised I'd be with him.  I
                        told you not to call me here.

                                  JACOBY
                        A little trouble with your parents is the
                        least of your worries and something I
                        am certainly willing to put up with.

                                   LAURA
                        I'm not.

                        Maybe I'll make you a tape tomorrow.

        She hangs up.

189.    INT.  LELAND AND SARAH PALMER'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

        Sarah at her vanity, puts a cigarette out and walks to her bed as
        Leland brings up a big glass of warm milk to her.

        Sarah looks up at Leland and they share a look as she drinks the milk.

        After Sarah finishes her milk Leland walks into the hallway.

190.    INT.  HALLWAY - NIGHT

        Leland hits the fan switch.

191.    INT.  STAIRS AND FAN

        Laura freezes when she hears the fan.  She closes her eyes.

193.    INT.  PALMER BEDROOM - NIGHT

        Sarah's head is nodding.  Her heavy eyelids close.  Her eyes pop open
        once more.  Sarah sees the white horse in her room.  She falls asleep.

194.    INT.  LAURA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

        The room is dark.  Laura is pressed up against the headboard of her
        bed staring at the window.  The fan ominously whirls in the hall.

        Bob appears in her window and enters the room.

        Bob moves down on top of her.  His hand moves between her legs.  Laura

194.    CONTINUED:

        fights with all her might to keep staring at his face.  To know it.
        To unlock it.  Her hands go up.  She holds his face...  squeezes it
        as he moves on top of her.

        Slowly, what she always knew deep inside of her becomes clear.

        BOB BECOMES LELAND.

        She screams and passes out into hell.

195.    INT.  PALMER HOUSE, DINING ROOM - DAY

        CLOSEUP:  BOWL OF SOGGY CEREAL

        On screen it reads:

                              "LAST MORNING"

        ON THE SCENE

        Sarah sits at the dining room table smoking.  Laura pushes her spoon
        around in the soggy cereal.  Leland stares at her.

                                  LELAND
                        Laura, I would like to talk to you.  Is
                        something wrong?

        Laura gets up and leaves the room.  Leland stares at the empty door.
        He waits for a moment and then follows her.  Sarah, nervously,
        watches him go.

196.    INT.  LAURA'S ROOM

        Laura is getting her school materials together when Leland enters.

                                  LELAND
                        Laura.  What's wrong this morning?

                            (whispering threat)
                        Stay away from me.

        Never taking her eyes off him, she works her way around him and
        leaves the room.

        We stay on Leland.  His face changes.  He knows she knows and he
        knows what he has to do.

197.    EXT.  SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE PALMER HOUSE - DAY

        Laura walks to school.  All the beautiful, natural sounds of morning

198.    INT.  HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOM - DAY

        Laura studies the clock hand going round and round.  Every sound in
        the room is distorted.

        THE BELL RINGS

        IN SLOW MOTION

        Laura rises from her chair.  Camera stays on her empty chair.  The
        chair she will never sit in again.

                                                        DISSOLVE TO:

199.    INT.  PALMER DINING ROOM - NIGHT

        A PLATE OF ASPARAGUS.  The mashed potatoes and the roast beef have
        been mostly eaten.  On screen it reads:

                               "LAST NIGHT"

        Laura and her mother sit, eating alone.

                                   LAURA
                        I hate asparagus.

                                   SARAH
                        Sure you do, it's good for you.

        They eat in silence for a moment.

                                   LAURA
                        Where's Dad?

                                   SARAH
                        Ben asked him to stay late to plan for
                        the Norwegians.

                                   LAURA
                        If it's okay with you I'm going to
                        Bobby's to do my homework.

                                   SARAH
                        It's a school night...  back by nine.

                        Right where he belongs, right.

        GARLAND BRIGGS chuckles off screen.

202.    INT.  BRIGGS HOUSE, BASEMENT RECREATION ROOM - NIGHT

        Laura comes down stairs and sees Bobby lying on the floor.  His hands
        covering his eyes.

                                   LAURA
                                (concerned)
                        What's up, Bobby?

        Laura sits down next to him.

                                   BOBBY
                        Bad news, kid, it was baby laxative.

                                   LAURA
                        What was?

                                   BOBBY
                        The stuff we got last night.

                                   LAURA
                        Baby laxative?  We can't snort baby
                        laxative.

                                   BOBBY
                        No shit...
                                (whispers)
                        We killed a guy for baby laxative.

                                   LAURA
                        What is the world coming to when you
                        kill a guy for baby laxative?

                                   BOBBY
                        Don't get funny with me again.

                                   LAURA
                        I'm not...  Bobby I'm gonna need some
                        more stuff.  I mean it.  I'm out.

                                   BOBBY
                        Yeah, and I'm gonna need that ten
                        thousand dollars back.

                        Sure, but I can't get it till after school
                        tomorrow.

                                   BOBBY
                        Let's ditch this place and party.

                                   LAURA
                        Not tonight.  Just give me something to
                        take home to hold me over till
                        tomorrow.

                                   BOBBY
                        Why?  Why not?  Where are you goin'?

        Laura smiles and leans forward.  She kisses him and he responds.

                                   LAURA
                        Bobby, I'm goin' home.  To bed...  my nice
                        warm bed...

        They kiss again.  He looks up and listens for his parents.

                                   BOBBY
                                (whispers)
                        We can do it right here.

                                  (flat)
                        Bobby...

        Bobby sees that she is not in the mood.

                                   BOBBY
                        You don't want me.  You just want the
                        stuff, don't ya?

        Laura stares at him.

                             BOBBY (continued)
                        It's okay.

        He reaches in his pocket and gives her a nice bag of coke plus pills.

                             BOBBY (continued)
                        Bobby's got it.

                                   LAURA
                            (taking the packet)
                        Thanks, Bobby.
                          (looking at the packet)
                        And my little round friends, too.

        They head upstairs.

203.    INT.  BRIGGS LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

        Mr. Briggs is reading aloud to Mrs. Briggs from the book of
        Revelations.  As Bobby hears this he turns to Laura and makes a look
        of horror which says, "Can you believe I live here".  Laura smiles.

        Bobby takes Laura to the door.  He gives her a small kiss, "Good
        Night".  After she leaves he cuts back thru the living room and just
        as he clears the room he lights up.

                                  BRIGGS
                        (looking up from the Bible)
                        Robert, put out the cigarette.

        And Briggs returns to the Bible.

204.    INT.  SHERIFF'S STATION, INTERROGATION ROOM - NIGHT

        Sheriff Truman and Andy sit at the small table with doughnuts and
        coffee.  Andy monitors the radio.  LUCY MORAN cuts thru on the
        intercom.

                                   LUCY
                            (over the intercom)
                        Sheriff Truman?

        Truman hits the intercom button.

                                  TRUMAN
                        Yes, Lucy?

                                   LUCY
                              (over intercom)
                        Mrs. Packard called and said she heard
                        what she thinks could be a prowler
                        outside her house.

                                  TRUMAN
                        Okay, Lucy.  I better get on up there.

        He releases the intercom button.  But Lucy continues to talk over the
        intercom.

                               LUCY'S VOICE
                        It's probably raccoons which is what it
                        was last week...

                                  TRUMAN
                                 (to Andy)
                        You stay here and monitor the radio.  Let
                        me know right away, if you hear from
                        Hawk.

                               LUCY'S VOICE
                        And last week I thought of the same

                        Okay, Sheriff Truman.

                               LUCY'S VOICE
                        Raccoons remind me of my aunt who
                        lives in Wyoming where they have
                        raccoons, too.

        Truman stands up, puts on his gun and leaves.  Lucy's voice continues
        as we watch Andy sit there alone.

                         LUCY'S VOICE (continued)
                        She couldn't get rid of her raccoons
                        because she made the big mistake of
                        feeding them albacore tuna.  I don't
                        know why she fed them albacore tuna.
                        And albacore tuna is so expensive.
                         (voice raising an octave)
                        Sheriff Truman how did you get up
                        here?

        Over the intercom Andy hears Lucy make a small hysterical cry.  He
        stands and runs from the room.  Stay on the intercom.  Lucy's voice
        continues.

                         LUCY'S VOICE (continued)
                        Andy?  Are you there?  I am very
                        confused.  Who am I talking to?  Andy,
                        are you there?

205.    INT. SHERIFF'S STATION, RECEPTION - SAME

        Lucy gets up from the intercom.

                                   LUCY
                        Maybe I'm alone.
                          (whispers, frightened)
                        Andy...  where did Andy go?

        She races from her station and collides with Andy coming up from the
        interrogation room.  They both scream.

206.    INT.  PALMER HOUSE, LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

        Sarah sits smoking and reading a cheap magazine as Laura moves thru
        the living room.

                                   LAURA
                        Good night, Mom.

        Laura moves up the stairs.

207.    INT.  LAURA'S ROOM - NIGHT

        She does three lines of Bobby's cocaine.

        ON THE CLOCK IN HER ROOM

        It reads:  9:30.

        ON LAURA

        Trying to hold on.  The phone rings.

                                   LAURA
                                 (whisper)

                        you, but...  Okay, I'll meet you in fifteen
                        minutes...

        She hangs up the phone and does another line of cocaine then swallows
        down a handful of red round friends from Bobby - the pills.

                             LAURA (continued)
                        Fifteen minutes...  god, why did I say
                        that?...  what did I say?...

208.    INT./EXT.  PALMER HOUSE

        As Laura sneaks out she sees her dad coming home.

209.    EXT.  PALMER HOUSE

        LELAND

        Leland comes out of the car.  Laura ducks into some bushes and hides.
        Leland stops in the middle of the yard sensing something.  He looks
        right at where Laura is hiding.  She can't tell if he can see her or
        not.

        CLOSEUP: LAURA

        She hears James' bike coming in the distance.

                                   LAURA
                         (frantically to herself)
                        Go inside...  go inside...

        James' bike sounds closer and closer.  Leland turns, opens the front
        door and goes into the house.

        James drives up.  Leland's face appears looking out the front window.
        Laura jumps on the bike behind James and off they go.

        James and Laura drive thru the night.

211.    EXT.  CLEARING IN THE WOODS - NIGHT

        James brings the bike thru the woods and stops in the little clearing.
        James tries to kiss Laura, she pushes him away.

                                   JAMES
                        What the hell is wrong with you?

                                   LAURA
                        That's right.  There's no place left to go
                        is there, James?

                                   JAMES
                        What do you mean?

                        You know it and I know it.

                        What is wrong with us?...  We have

                        "Oh, Laura..."

        She gives him a terrible slap.

                                   JAMES
                                 (ironic)
                        You always hurt the ones you love.

                                   LAURA
                        You mean the ones you pity.

                                   JAMES
                        Say anything you want...  I know you love
                        me and I love you.

                                   LAURA
                        I do love you.
                                (whispers)
                        Let's get lost together.

        They kiss again.  Hot.  Hands everywhere.

                              (breaking away)
                        Shit, maybe he'll kill you.

                        What?

                        When he finds out.

                                   JAMES
                        What?

                                   LAURA
                        Bobby killed a guy.

                                   JAMES
                        What are you talking about?  Bobby
                        didn't kill anybody.

                                   LAURA
                        You want to see...

                                   JAMES
                        See what?

                                   LAURA
                                (disgusted)
                        Right.  Open your eyes, James.  You don't
                        know me.  Even _Donna_ doesn't know me.
                        Your Laura disappeared...  It's just me
                        now.

        James grabs her trying to control her.  She twists out of his arms.

                             LAURA (continued)
                        How 'bout this, James?

        She lifts her hand and gives him the finger.  James ignores the
        finger and kisses her, but she's gone ice cold.

                             LAURA (continued)
                        I think you want to take me home now,
                        James.

        She leads him back to the bike.  He won't start it.

                             LAURA (continued)
                        Oh, quit crying.  I've had enough of your
                        fucking caring.

        He kicks the bike to a start.  Behind him, Laura watches and silently
        starts to cry.

212.    EXT.  HIGHWAY 21 - NIGHT

        Laura and James on the bike make their way down to Sparkwood and
        Twenty One.

        Laura leans way back on the bike.

        LAURA'S POV

        Looking up at the trees as they fly by in a dark blur.

        LAURA AND JAMES

                                   LAURA
                        The trees...  the trees...

        Laura screams with agony and tries to get off as they approach the
        light.  Laura falls off as they skid to a stop.

                                   JAMES
                         (confused and terrified)
                        Laura...

        Laura crawls back up and puts her hands around James' neck.

                                   LAURA
                        (from far away she screams)
                        JAMES, I LOVE YOU.

        For a moment she focuses on him.  She looks like the Laura that James
        loves.  Innocent and Beautiful.

        Laura turns and sees the woods.  It pulls her.  She releases her hold
        on James and runs into the waiting darkness.

        The red light swings in the wind above James.  It turns green, but he
        doesn't move.  When the light turns red again, James guns the engine
        and lifts the bike up on its back tire.  James screams then roars down
        the road away from us.

        Off to the side of the road lies Doc Hayward's wilted red rose.

213.    EXT.  PACKARD LOGGING ROAD - MIDNIGHT

        Laura runs up thru the woods.  At the Packard Logging Road Laura
        meets Jacques, Leo and Ronette all standing around Leo's red corvette.

                                  JACQUES
                        Right on time, baby.

                                   LAURA
                        Buy me a ticket to The Great Went.

                                   LAURA
                        Let's go _all_ the way.

        They pile into Leo's 'Vet and peel down the dirt road.

214.    INT.  JACQUES' CABIN - NIGHT

        The foursome getting roasted and toasted - very high.

        Jacques starts to tie Laura up with some light rope.

                                   LAURA
                           (drugged, screaming)
                        Don't tie me up, tonight.  Don't tie me
                        up.

        Jacques and Leo laugh.  Jacques starts to tie Laura up while Leo holds
        her.  Laura struggles and screams begging them not to do it.  With
        Laura tied up, Leo starts to tie up Ronette.

                                                        DISSOLVE TO:

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.

218.    EXT.  TRAIL - SAME

        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.

                        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.

236.    INT.  HOTEL ROOM, GREAT NORTHERN - NIGHT

        Doc Hayward and Sheriff Truman watch the door of the bathroom
        anxiously.

                                  TRUMAN
                        Coop...  Coop...

                                    DOC
                        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.


                                  THE END
