There is a sadness in this world, for we are ignorant of many things. Yes, we are ignorant of many beautiful things ... things like the truth. So sadness, in our ignorance, is very real. The tears are real. What is this thing called a tear? There are even tiny ducts, tear ducts, to produce these tears should the sadness occur. Then the day when the sadness comes ... then we ask. Will this sadness which makes me cry ... will this sadness that makes my heart cry out, will it ever end? The answer, of course, is yes. One day the sadness will end.

Diane, 7:15 am, I'll be heading to the sheriff's after breakfast. Then we'll be going on to Laura Palmer's funeral.

Good morning Colonel Cooper.

Just agentAudrey, Special Agent.

Special Agent.

Would you care to join me for breakfast.

I'm in a hurry.

For what?

Audrey, that perfume your wearing is incredible.

Do you really think so?

Yes I do. Please have a seat. And would you write your name down for me. Here.

Okay.

Audrey, there's something you'd like to tell me.

There is?

You slipped this note underneath my door the night before last.

I did? I wanted to help you, for Laura.

You said you and Laura weren't exactly friends.

We weren't friends but I understood her better then the rest.

What is One-Eye Jacks?

Its a place up North. Men go there.

What about women?

Uh, women ... you know, work there.

Did Laura work there?

I don't know. Laura worked at my father's department store.

Horne's.

He named it after himself.

Where at Horne's Department Store?

At the perfume counter.

So did Ronette Pulaski.

Really?

Audrey, that rightward slant in your handwriting indicates a romantic nature. A heart that yearns, be careful.

I do?

I'm going to have to ask you to leave now. Police business.

Thank you for talking to me.

Trudy, two more coffees please. Harry, Lucy, it is an absolutely beautiful morning. Shortstack of griddle cakes, melted butter, maple syrup lightly heated, slice of ham. Nothing beats the taste sensation when maple syrup collides with ham.

Griddle cakes, slice of ham.

Who killed Laura Palmer?

Ahhh. Harry, let me tell you about the dream I had last night.

Tibet?

No. You were there, Lucy so were you. Harry my dream is a code waiting to be broken. Break the code solve the crime.

Break the code ... solve the ... crime.

In my dream, Sarah Palmer has a vision of her daughter's killer. Deputy Hawk sketched his picture. I got a phone call from a one-armed man, named Mike. The killer's name was Bob.

Mike and Bobby?

No, its different Mike and a different Bob. They lived above a convenience store. They had a tattoo, fire walk with me. Mike couldn't stand the killing any more so he cut off his arm. Bob vowed to kill again so Mike shot him. Do you know where dreams come from?

Not specifically.

Acetylcholine Neurons fire high voltage impulses into the forebrain. These impulses become pictures, the pictures become dreams but ... no one knows why we choose these particular pictures.

Well, what was the end of this dream?

Suddenly it was twenty five years later. I was old sitting in a red room.

There was a midget in a red suit and a beautiful woman. The little man told me that my favorite gum was coming back into style and didn't his cousin look exactly like Laura Palmer, which she did.

What cousin?

The beautiful woman. She's filled with secrets, sometimes her arms bend back, where she's from the birds sing a pretty song and there's always music in the air. The midget did a dance, Laura kissed me and she whispered the name of the killer in my ear.

Who was it?

Ahh, I don't remember.

Damn.

Damn.

Harry, our job is simple. Break the code, solve the crime.

Yeah. You hang on I'll be right there. That was Andy, there's a fight over at the morgue.

Albert.

Your the most cold-blooded man I've ever seen. I've never in my life met a man with so little regard for human frailty. Have you no compassion?

Oh, I've got compassion running out of my nose pal. I'm the sultan of sentiment. Dr. Hayward, I have traveled thousands of miles and apparently several centuries to this forgotten sink hole, in order to perform a series of test. Now I do not ask you to understand these test, I'm not a cruel man. I just ask you to get the hell out of my way so that I can finish my work, is that clear!

Where here to conduct Laura Palmer's body to the cemetery. If you think that for one minute we're going to leave here without her your out of your mind!

Alright, alright, alright. Alright. Alright! Mr. Rosenfield, please. Now, uh, Leland Palmer couldn't be with us today but I know I speak for everyone, the Palmer family included. When I say that uh ... we appreciate and understand the value of your work but as their representative I ... I must insist that we consider the feelings of the Palmer family as well.

Mr. Horne, I realize that your position in this fair community pretty well ... guarantees a venality and sincerity and uh ... a rather irritating method of expressing yourself. Stupidity however, is not a necessarily inherent trait. Therefore, please listen closely. You can have a funeral any ol' time. You dig a hole, you plant a coffin. I however can not perform these test next year, next month, next week or tomorrow. I must perform them now. I've got a lot of cutting and pasting to do gentlemen so please why don't you return to your porch rockers and resume whittling.

That does it. I'm taking charge of the body and you don't touch Laura from this moment on.

The hell you ...

Gentlemen!

What's going on!

Thank god.

Cooper, this old fool is obstructing a criminal investigation. Cuff him.

He won't release Laura's body for the funeral. He's not human.

What's the holdup?

Please Cooper, I do not suffer fools gladly and fools with badges never. I want no interference from this hulking boob, is that clear.

I've had just about enough of your insults.

Oh yeah, well I've had about enough of morons and half wits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells ... and you chowder head yokel, you blithering hayseed. You-you-you've had enough of me?

Yes I have.

Oh that's nice. How appropriate.

Wait in the car Harry.

Thee ol' rustic sucker punch, huh. A hail of bullets would be nice!

That's enough! The sheriff didn't mean anything.

He hit me.

Well I'm sure he meant to do that. Albert, I want you to release this girl's body to her family immediately. I want your test results by noon. Those are orders.

Thank you, Agent Cooper.

... invitation to love. Starring Morton Hadley as Chet, Selina Swift as Emerald and Jade. Evan St. Vincent as Jared Lancaster ...

... and Jason Dembo as Montana.

My darling daughter Jade ... and Emerald. Because of my financial difficulties I have decided to end it all tonight.

I hope you can find the strength to go on without me.Your loving father, Jared.

Uncle Leland.

Daddy its Jade.

Uncle Leland.

Daddy please I know your in there.

Madeleine?

Jade, what a surprise.

Mady, is it you?

Uncle Leland, I am so sorry.

I'm sure Hank appreciates your unwavering devotion. Your husband has been a model prisoner. An inspiration to god and inmate alike. He greets the day with a smile and confound adversity with a kind word. Hank's parole hearing is scheduled for tomorrow, baring unforeseen circumstance. With your full support, before the board, he could be released shortly thereafter. Any questions?

No.

Will you help find the job that Hank needs to effect a successful parole.

Yes.

How exactly?

I own the Double R, Mr. Moonie.

Well. Your quite a girl Norma. I bet you get all kind of Romeos in here begging for favors. How do you keep them from your door?

I usually tell them I have a homicidally jealous husband who's doing 3 to 5 for manslaughter but expects to be a productive member of society real soon.

That should conclude our session for today Mrs. Jennings.

Look at that. Ducks on the lake. So fill me in on Leo Johnson.

Well Leo is one of those guys you keep on a list and keep your eye on. So far we haven't caught him with the paws in the cookie jar.

Morning Leo.

Who the hell is he?

This is Special Agent Cooper, FBI. We'd like to ask you a couple of questions?

So ask.

Leo, is that short for Leonard.

That's a question?

Did you know Laura Palmer?

No.

How well did you know her?

I said I didn't.

Your lying.

I knew who she was alright, everybody did.

Do you have a criminal record Leo?

Nothing, you can look it up.

Illegal U-turn, April 1986; drunk and disorderly, November 1987; September '88, aggravated assault, charges dropped.

I paid my debt to society.

Where were you the night of Laura Palmer's murder, around midnight?

On the road, I called my wife Shelly around that time from Butte Montana.

She'll confirm this?

She will if you ask her.

Robert. This may be a good time for a brief discussion.

You want to talk about cigarettes, today!

No, but put it out. Its a filthy habit especially for a varsity athlete.

I have attended my share of funerals, too many. Anytime a man dies in war, he dies too soon. Laura died too soon as well.

Yeah, she did.

But we have a responsibility to the dead, Robert. Responsibility is the linch pin of our society. Each man responsible for his own actions. Each action contributing to the greater good.

What's the good of putting someone in the ground.

Its man's way of achieving closure. The ceremony begins understanding and the will to carry on without those we must leave behind. Robert, in your life you must learn, you will learn, to carry on without them.

Great.

I realize you experience an ongoing disinclination to enter a meaningful exchange. This leads to stalemate ... the desire on my part to pour certain wisdom upon you. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, sometimes its the best course available. Son don't be afraid. We'll all be there together.

Afraid of what?

Well the funeral.

I'm not afraid of any damn funeral. Afraid? I can hardly wait. AFRAID! I'M GOING TO TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN!

Everybody ready?

Deputy Hawk.

Agent Cooper, there's no sign of the man with one arm.

Keep trying he's out there somewhere.

If anyone can find him, Hawk can.

Tracker?

The best.

Oh.

Okay Albert, what ya' got?

Enough forensic spade work to save your butt and get mine out of this god forsaking burg.

What ya' got?

Okay, first of all, contents of envelope found in Palmer diary, cocaine. Toxicology results also positive. News flash, the little lady had a habit. Next we got fibers of twine in bedded in her wrists and upper arms. Two different kinds of twine. Fibers of twine found at railroad car match the sample from her wrists. The same twine was used to bind the wrists of the Pulaski girl. Conclusion, she was tied up twice and at different locations on the night of her death. Once here and once here like this .

Sometimes my arms bend back.

Here we got traces of pumice found in standing water outside the railroad car. Soap industrial strength. I found identical particles in the back of Laura's neck. Its not her home use brand. My conclusion, the killer washed his hands and then leaned in for a kiss like this.

Good lord.

Distinctive wounds found on Laura's neck and shoulder appear to be ... claw marks. Bites of some kind.

An animal?

Look its trying to think.

Finally a small plastic fragment from her stomach partially dissolved by digestive acids. I'm taking it back to the lab for reconstruction as the local facilities give new meaning to the word primitive. I note with some interest what appears to be the letter 'J'.

Good work Albert.

Couple more days with the body who know's what else I might have found.

Sheriff, its time.

Excuse us. We ... have got a funeral to get to.

Cooper, may I have a word with you alone?

There's one more item. Its a report concerning the physical assault on my person which you witnessed this morning. I think you find that's its quite accurate. Requires your signature.

Albert, I'm not going to sign this.

What?

Albert, I hope you can hear me. I've only been in Twin Peaks a short time but in that time I have seen decency, honor and dignity. Murder is not a faceless event here. It is not a statistic to be tallied up at the end of the day. Laura Palmer's death has affected each and every man, woman and child because life has meaning here, every life. That a way of living I thought had vanished from the Earth but it hasn't Albert its right here in Twin Peaks.

Sounds like you've been snacking on some of the local mushrooms.

With your behavior towards these good people, consider yourself lucky I do not file a report of my own that could bury you in the building so deep in Washington you'd never see the sun.

Diane, its 12:27 pm. I'd like you to look into my pension plan options regarding outside real estate investment. I may look into purchasing a piece of property at what I assume will be a very reasonable price.

Love me.

You bet. This a new one?

Yes, isn't it beautiful. How do I look?

Well, you look fine Nadine.

Oh Ed, last night was wonderful. Oh my darling Ed, you came back to me. Now I feel like we're really together again. At high school I used to watch Norma and you at the football games. She was so pretty and you made such a handsome couple. But I knew, even though I was just ... a little nobody, just a little brown mouse. I always knew inside ... once you got to know me ... that we be together forever.

That's not your bike is it Ed?

It's James.

James who?

We don't want to be late. Are you ready?

I'm not going.

Its Laura, James.

I can't, I just can't.

James!

I don't care what the doctor says. If you keep indulging him this way he is never going to change.

I don't think we should be discussing this while Johnny's in the room.

Johnny, Johnny doesn't even now what day it is.

We have to be patient Ben.

You be patient. I have been waiting twenty years for some sign of intelligent life from him ...

... clear above this Sylvia I have my limits.

Don't I know it.

Lies all straight and in my general direction.

You can ...

Taking it is the specialty of the house. Sylvia I'm going to make it extremely simple for ya'. We can't take Johnny to the funeral in that ridiculous getup.

Gotta go.

Then let the great Dr. Jacoby see what he can do.

No, no.

You do it then.

Am I going to have to call Dr. Jacoby every damn time I have a problem with Johnny?

Thank god. Alright lets everyone just get in the car.

I am the resurrection and the life. He that believe'th in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And who shall ever live'th and believe'th in me shall never die. For none of us live'th to himself and no man die'th to himself. For if we live, we live unto the lord and if we die, we die to the lord. Whether we live therefore or we die, we are the lords. Blessed be the dead who die of the lord. Even so say'th the spirit. For they rest from their labors. The lord be with thee. Let us pray. Oh god entrust this child, Laura, to thy never failing care and love and bring us all to thy heavenly kingdom. Through the same, thy son, Jesus Christ our lord who live'th and reign'th with thee and the holy spirit. One god now and forever, amen. I baptized Laura Palmer. I instructed her in Sunday school and I, like the rest of you, came to love her with that special love that we reserve for thee headstrong and the bold. Laura was bright, she was beautiful, she was charming but most of all Laura was, I think, impatient. She was impatient for her life to begin. For the world to finally catch up to her dreams and ambitions. Laura used to say that I talked to much. I'll not make that mistake today. Just let it be said that I loved her and I will miss her the rest of my days.

Aaamen! Amen!

Thank you Johnny.

AAAAAMENN!

What ya' looking at? What are ya' waiting for? You make me sick. You damn hypocrites make me SICK! Everybody knew she was in trouble but we didn't do anything. All you good people, you wanna know who killed Laura. YOU DID! We all did and pretty words aren't going to bring her back man so save your prayers. She would've laughed at them anyway.

You are dead man, your dead!

Yyyoouurrr ddeeaadd!

That's enough Bobby, that's enough.

Yyyoouu aarree DDEEAADD!

Get off of me. You are a dead man, dead! You are dead man, dead! Get off of me.

Oh my baby, Laura.

Leland.

The whole thing has gone haywire.

Don't ruin this too.

My baby. Laura.

This is the father and this is the daughter in the coffin .

Boom.

I'm telling you Harry. He's just not going to figure this out.

Ed, that's a bet I'll take for the check. He's right on time.

Harry, careful who you trust. He's just not one of us.

Cooper. Take a seat.

Harry, I got your note. Hawk, Big Ed.

How would you like some fresh huckleberry pie?

I would love a slice of pie. Norma, slice of huckleberry pie, heated, vanilla ice cream on the side, coffee.

Coming right up.

Big Ed, how long have you been in love with Norma?

Ed, looks like pie and coffee's on you.

Okay, what you fellas call me in to talk about besides the highlights of the dinner menu?

Better tell him.

Somebody running drugs into Twin Peaks from across the border. We've been working this for six months trying to set up a bust: top to bottom, nobody walks.

Who's targeted?

Jacques Renault, bartender at the Roadhouse. We figure him for the middle man. Now Ed's been doing some undercover. In fact, the night you got into town he was staking Renault out. We think Renault slipped him a mickey.

Felt like somebody hit me with a log splitter.

Ed, I didn't know you were a deputy.

He's not.

Well that's a little outside your jurisdiction, don't you think?

Somebody selling drugs to high school kids and I figure that's everybody's jurisdiction.

I call Ed in when I need him. He's not the only one I call.

Thanks Norma.

Enjoy.

Mmm, this must be where pies go when they die. Mmm.

Okay Harry, would you please tell me why you really called me in here.

Cooper, your gonna have to go along with me on this. Even if it sounds a little weird.

I'm with you.

Twin Peaks is different, a long way from the world. You've noticed that.

Yes I have.

That's exactly the way we like it but there's a ... back end to that that's kind of different too. Maybe that's the price we pay for all the good things.

What would that be?

There's a sort of evil out there. Something very, very strange in these old woods. Call it what you want. A darkness, a presence. It takes many forms but ... its been out there for as long as anyone can remember and we've always been here to fight it.

We?

Men before us, men before them and after we're gone.

A secret society.

Why don't we take Agent Cooper for a little ride.

Where to?

The Bookhouse.

This is where we get together. Going on twenty years now.

We meaning?

The Bookhouse Boys. The coffee's free.

I like the sound of that.

Cooper, you know James.

Agent Cooper.

James.

This is Joey Paulson.

Joey.

Who is this?

Bernard Renault, Jacques brother, janitor at the Roadhouse. Bernard came across the border this morning with an ounce of cocaine in his kitbag. I thought we'd ask him a few questions.

Did you ever sell drugs to Laura Palmer?

I don't sell drugs.

How much does Jacques pay you to be the mule?

Jacques don't pay me nothing. I'm no mule.

So that ounce you had that was for personal use?

That's right.

I guess you don't get a whole lot of sleep at night then, huh Bernie.

Your brother didn't come into work the last few days. Where's he been?

I don't know. He got personal business.

Who else is he dealing with?

Why don't you ask him yourself? He be back tonight, in a minute.

He's coming to work at the Roadhouse?

He the bartender isn't he.

Bernard, we got you tied up in a chair. Your mixed up with your brother in a wide variety of felonies. What I want to know is why in the world would you tell us where and when to find him?

Yeah.

Leo, ...

... this Jacques.

What's up?

The light, the bust light's on. Bernard's in trouble.

Are you sure?

I saw it man.

You got to get me out of here Leo. Border run.

Where are you?

Phone booth by the Cash N' Carry.

And I don't like waiting man.

Shut up I'm on my way.

Hi.

Where ya' going?

You don't need to know.

Josie, Josie, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Nothing?

God, your beautiful.

Josie, there is something wrong. What is it? I want you to tell me.

Something horrible is going to happen. They want to hurt me. I know it.

Who? Who want's to hurt you?

Catherine, Catherine and Benjamin Horne.

What makes you think so?

I heard Catherine ...

... on the phone saying I'd never suspect. Just like with Andrew's death.

Andrew's death was an accident.

Was it? Catherine keeps the mill account books in her safe. Two books, different numbers.

Andrew built this years ago. I don't think Catherine knows that I know its here. Why do you think we have two sets of books?

The usual reasons would have something to do with stealing maybe worse.

There were two. I saw them. You believe me don't you.

Of course I do. There's nothing unusual in this one.

There were two.

I swear there were two.

Have ... have you seen my tackle box?

The next time you and the merry widow want to take a peek in my safe don't go through so much trouble. Be a man about it Pete. Ask me to my face.

Maybe I'll ... check the truck.

Dr. Jacoby. I didn't see you at the funeral today.

I'm a terrible person Agent Cooper. I pretend that I'm not ... but I am. Oh, I sit and listen to their problems day after day. These people ... think of me as their friend. Truth is I really don't care. I thought nothing, no one ... could ever reach me again. Laura changed all that. I couldn't come today. I just couldn't. I hope she understands. I hope she forgives me.

You think its possible? You think somebody killed Andrew?

I don't know.

I believe ... what they want is to take the mill away from me. For Benjamin to have the land. If ... if it was true with Andrew ... you think they'll kill me too.

Josie. Nothing is going to happen to you not now, not ever, not while I'm around.

Do you believe in the soul?

Several.

More then one?

Blackfoot legend. Waking souls that give life to the mind and the body. A dream soul that wanders.

Dream souls? Where do they wander?

Faraway places. The land of the dead.

Is that where Laura is?

Laura's in the ground, Agent Cooper. That's the only thing I'm sure of.

To Laura.

Godspeed.

Will you dance with me. Please.

No.

Dance with me, please. Dance with me. Dance with me please, please, please.

Leave us alone.

Somebody dance with me.

Mr. Palmer?

Leland.

Lets take you home.

Home. Home. Home.
