                 Written by Mark Frost
                 Directed by David Lynch]

   Early morning (4:45? am)
   -- Room service waiter delivers Cooper's warm milk, hangs up phone on
      Andy.  "I've heard about you."
   -- The Giant appears:
      G: "I will tell you three things.  If I tell them to you and they come
        true, then will you believe me?"
      C: "Who's that?"
      G: "Think of me as a friend."
      C: "Where do you come from?"
      G: {Shaking head} "The question is: where have you gone?"
         "The 1st thing I will tell you is: There's a man in a smiling bag."
      C: "Man in a smiling bag..."
      G: "The 2nd thing is: The owl's are not what they seem.
          The 3rd thing is: Without chemicals, he points."
      C: "What do these things mean?"
      G: "This is all I'm permitted to say.  Give me your ring.  I will
        return it to you when you find these things to be true."
      {Takes Coop's ring} "We want to help."
      C: "Who's we?"
      G: "One last thing.  Leo locked inside Hungry Horse.  There's a clue at
        Leo's house.  You will require medical assistance."
   -- Jerry gives heroin to Blackie
   -- Audrey evades Ben, Jerry calls him away: Brother Ben, we got an S-N-A-G.
   -- Cooper tells Diane things he'd like to've done until Andy, Hawk, and
      Truman arrive

   7:45 am
   -- Lucy updates Cooper. Truman and Doc Hayward are present.
      C: Doc, when the will is invoked, the recuperative powers of the physical
         body are simply extraordinary.  Just give me a couple of hours to
         get dressed.
   -- Shelly, in her hospital bed, cries for Bobby

   Morning
   -- Cooper sees Jacques' body wheeled away in a bag
        C: Is that bag smiling?
        Doc: Smiling?
        Lucy: What's there to smile about?
   -- Ronette has a vision, "Laura..."

   Day
   -- Sarah asks Maddy if she misses Beth (her mom).  Maddy describes her
      dream (the rug) and Leland sports a new 'do, singing Mairzy Doats:
        Mairzy doats and dozy doats
        and little lambzy divy.
        A kiddly divy, too, wooden shoe?
        Now if the words sounds queer,
        and funny to your ear,
        a little bit jumbled and jivy,
        Sing:
        Mares eat oats and does eats oats
        and little lambs eat ivy.
        A kid'll eat ivy, too, wouldn't you?
      Maddy sees something in the rug.
   -- Ben and Jerry talk.  Ben wants to know about Catherine and Leo's status.
      Leland arrives, singing Mairzy Doats.  The brothers dance.
   -- Cooper determines what happened at Leo's.
      C: Sheriff, get your mind off Shelly - for a moment.
      Hawk finds a tarp smelling of gasoline.  Albert and team arrive.  Andy
      steps on a board and walks like a chicken, underneath are a pair of
      Circle Brand boots and cocaine.
      A: And it's another great moment in law enforcement history.
   -- Maddy meets with Donna at the RR and gives her Laura's shades that she
      wanted and breaks her own.  They agree to "keep it quiet."
      D: Maybe the sun won't go up tomorrow if you wash your hair.  Think
         like that and you'll go crazy.
      Norma gives Donna a letter that got to the RR "yesterday:" Look into
      the Meals on Wheels.  The log lady spits out her gum.
   -- Albert examines Cooper: "You were shot by a right handed person 5 foot
      6 to 5 foot 10 inches tall at a distance of less than 3 feet."
      Cooper tries to get Albert to open up to the locals.
      A: After the square dance, we can all go for a hayride.
      Andy reports that Leo was in jail in Hungry Horse, Montana on 2/9/88.
      A: Where do they keep his water dish?
   -- The OAM arrives at the station to "sell shoes" to Truman (to Lucy)
   -- Truman questions James.  Cooper demands and gets the locket on a thong
      from James.
      C: Jacoby!  I didn't figure he had anything to do with this at all.
         Sometimes, you just get lucky.
   -- Donna arrives at the station in Laura's shades, smoking and meets
      James in his cell.
      J: When did you start smoking?
      D: I smoke every once in a while.  Helps relieve tension.
      J: When did you get so tense?
      D: When I started smoking.
   -- Cooper has Andy and Lucy look through the back issues of the last three
      years of Fleshworld for Teresa Banks.
      C to D: Diane, just received the back issues of Fleshworld.  Good work.
              It's nice to see some cooperation with the law especially from
              a company that preys on human weaknesses.
   -- Hayward examines Jacoby.  Cooper and Truman arrive.  Cooper confronts
      Jacoby with the locket on a thong: I don't want any baloney, magic
      tricks or psychological mumbo jumbo.
      Jacoby said the night after Laura died, he followed Leo, lost him,
      saw and followed James and Donna and dug up the locket.
      J: Laura was, was in fact, no she was living a double life.  Two people.
         Yeah, but then, then when I saw her the last time, she
         I dunno, she seemed to've reached a kind of peace herself.  Now I
         believe that what she in fact, she had arrived at was the decision
         to end her life.
      T: Are you saying Laura wanted to die?
      C: Laura Palmer did not commit suicide.
      J: No, but maybe she allowed herself to be killed.
      Jacoby smelled scorched engine oil the night before.
   -- Bobby visits Shelly, brings her flowers
   -- Cooper, Truman, and Albert spot Bobby in the hospital.  A: Sheriff
      Truman, to see this kind of investigative genius at work is just a
      real treat for me.
      They meet Ed in the hall.
      Ed: I never believed in fate, Agent Cooper.  Always felt, you make your
          own way, you take care of your own, you pick up after yourself.
      Albert: Farmer's Almanac?
      Cooper: Albert, I would like to speak to Ed.
      Truman: Albert, I'll buy you a cup of coffee.
      Ed tells his tale of how he was with Norma but married Nadine and
      shot her eye out accidently on their honeymoon.  James drops by.  Cooper
      sees the smiling bag.  Albert goes to check in at the Great Northern.
   -- Pete is disgusted by the hospital food
   -- Norma visits Shelly in her room, then sees Ed caring over Nadine
   -- Bobby runs into his father at the RR:
      MB: "Bobby, may I share something with you?"
      BB: "Okay."
      MB: "A vision I had in my sleep last night, as distinguished from a
        dream, which is mere sorting and cataloguing of the day's events by
        the subconscious.  This was a vision, fresh and clear as a mountain
        stream, the mind revealing itself to itself.  In my vision, I was on
        the veranda of a vast estate, a palazzo of some fantastic proportion.
        There seemed to emanate from it a light from within, this gleaming,
        radiant marble.  I'd known this place.  I had in fact been
        born and raised there.  This was my first return.  A reunion with the
        deepest well-springs of my being.  Wandering about, I noticed happily
        that the house had been immaculately maintained.  There'd been added
        a number of additional rooms, but in a way that blended so seamlessly
        with the original construction, one would never detect any difference.
        Returning to the house's grand foyer, there came a knock at the door.
        My son was standing there.  He was happy and carefree, clearly living
        a life of deep harmony and joy.  We embraced, a warm and loving
        embrace, nothing withheld.  We were, in this moment, one.  My vision
        ended and I awoke with a tremendous feeling of optimism and
        confidence in you and your future.  That was my vision of you.  I'm
        so glad to have had this opportunity to share it with you.  I wish
        you nothing but the best in all things."
      BB: "Thank you Dad."
      Bobby appears moved.  Hank asks Briggs how the pie was and salutes him.
   -- Norma won't talk about Shelly and Bobby recognizes Hank as he who
      shot Leo.
   -- Cooper and Albert tell their theory of what happened on 2/23:
        C: The night Laura Palmer was killed, it appears she made 2
           appointments.  In her diary, she had written, "Nervous about
           meeting J. tonight."  I now believe this was a reference to James
           Hurley.  She was nervous because she planned to tell him she
           didn't want to see him anymore.  Before she snuck out of the
           house, she received a phone call.
        A: We believe it was Leo Johnson making a second appointment
           for some time later that night.
        C: Laura met James, was with him until 12:30 when, at the intersection
           of 21 and Sparkwood, she jumped from the bike and ran into
           the woods.  We believe that it was there that she met up with
           Jacques Renault, Leo Johnson and Ronette Pulaski.  Together
           they drove to the foot of the trail leading to Jacques' cabin.
           They climbed the trail, they were heard passing the cabin of
           the Log Lady.  They reached Jacques Renault's cabin at approximately
           1 am.  Drugs and alcohol were consumed.  Laura was tied up
           and had sexual relations with both Leo and Jacques.  Waldo the
           bird was let out of his cage and attacked Laura.  Leo and
           Jacques fought.  Jacques went outside and passed out.  When he
           came to, Leo and the girls were gone.  We believe Leo hiked
           back down to his Corvette alone, leaving the girls behind.
        A: The reason being, there was a third man.
        C: Deputy Hawk found evidence of a third man outside the window
           of Jacques' cabin.
        A: The third man took Laura and Ronette to the train car, where
           they were tied up.  Laura for the 2nd time, Ronette for the 1st.
        C: Using a blunt object, the killer hit Ronette and knocked her
           unconscious.  He must've been so intent on killing Laura, he
           didn't realize Ronette regained consciousness and escaped.
        A: He either didn't know or he didn't care. He made a small mound
           of dirt and put the half heart necklace of Laura's on top.  He
           then placed a small cut out letter R under the nail of her
           left ring finger.  You'll recall he placed the letter T under
           the fingernail of Teresa Banks.  He, uh, left a note written in
           blood, "Fire, walk with me."
        C: Here's the interesting thing.  The blood on the note was tested.
           It doesn't match Leo's, Jacques', Laura's or Ronette's.
        A: So we surmise the killer wrote the note in his own blood.  The
           rare type, AB negative.  The towel that Deputy Hawk found five
           miles down the tracks was soaked in blood of that type.  He
           also found, near the towel, scraps of faded paper.
        C: The scraps may have been left by the killer.  They'll be sent
           back to Washington DC for testing.
        {Andy cries}
        A: I know, Andy, I know, I know, I know.  It's what we call a real
           three hanky crime.
        Andy: Albert Rosenfeld.  I don't like the way you talk smart about
              Sheriff Truman or anybody.  You just shut your mouth! {Exits}
        C: Laura Palmer is dead.  Jacques Renault is dead.  Ronette
           Pulaski and Leo Johnson are in comas.  Waldo the bird is dead.
           This leaves only the third man.
   -- Truman gives Pete a ride home. P: This smoke inhalation is nasty
      business.  I feel like somebody taped my lips to the tailpipe
      of a bus.
      Josie left a note; she went to Seattle, she goes shopping every 3
      months.  An Asian man calls, asking for her, then he makes a collect
      call to Hong Kong.
   -- Ben and Jerry meet with Hank.  Hank confirms he put Catherine in the mill
      and they hope to frame the arson on her and Leo.
   -- Audrey meets with Blackie, she's not pleased with her not satisfying the
      owner

   Night
   -- Donna calls Norma about taking over Laura's Meals on Wheels route.
      She'll use the RR station wagon.
   -- At the Hayward Supper Club, Gersten plays the piano and Harriet
      recites a poem:
        "It was Laura
        And I saw her glowing.
        In the dark woods,
        I saw her smiling.
        We were crying
        And I saw her laughing.
        In our sadness,
        I saw her dancing.
        It was Laura
        Living in my dreams.
        It was Laura.
        The glow was life.
        Her smile was to say
        It was all right to cry.
        The woods was our sadness.
        The dance was her calling.
        It was Laura
        And she came to kiss me goodbye."
      Donna sits on her hands. Leland sings "Get Happy" and collapses.

   11:55 pm (Cooper to Diane)
   -- Cooper goes to bed.  C to D: I'm dog tired.  A man can only go long
        without submitting to a period of rest.  As we know from experiments
        conducted on American GI's during the Korean War, sleep deprivation
        is a one way ticket to temporary psychosis.  And I'm working on a
        3 day jag.
   -- Audrey prays for Cooper
   -- The Giant returns:
      G: "Sorry to wake you."
      C: "I'm not dreaming."
      G: "I forgot to tell you something."
      C: "You were right about the smiling bag."
      G: "The things I tell you will not be wrong.  Better to listen then to
        talk."
      C: "I believe you."
      G: "Don't search for all the answers at once.  A path is formed by
        laying one stone at a time.  One person saw the third man.  Three have
        seen him, yes.  But not his body.  One only.  Known to you.  Ready now
        to talk.  One more thing: you forgot something."
      C: "What?"
      { Flash of green gets zapped into Coop. He lies alone in the dark,
      blinking.  }
   -- Ronette has a vision of BOB and Laura

04 Mar (Saturday)   [Episode 2002 - 10/6/90

                     Directed by David Lynch]

   Morning
   -- Cooper talks to Albert about Tibet over breakfast:
      C: Buddhist tradition first came to the land of snow in the fifth
        century AD.  The first Tibetan came to be touched by the Dharma was
        King Hathatha Rignamputsan.  He and succeeding generations came to be
        collectively called the Happy Generations.  Now some historians place
        them in the Water Snake Year, two-thirteen AD; others in the year
        of the water ox 173 AD.  Amazing isn't it?  The Happy Generations.
      A: Agent Cooper, I am thrilled to pieces that the Dharama came to King
        Hohoho, I really am, but right now I am trying hard to focus on the
        more immediate problems of our own century right in Twin Peaks.
      C: Albert, you'd be surprised at the connection between the two.
      A: Color me amazed.
      Albert tells of Cooper's ex-partner Windom Earle escaping from a mental
      institution.  The Asian man watches Cooper drink coffee.

   Afternoon
   -- Donna delivers a meal to Mrs. Tremond.  Her grandson makes the creamed
      corn disappear.  "Sometimes things can happen just like this."
        "She seemed like a very nice girl."
   -- Cooper and Truman see Ronette and wrestle with the stools.  They show
      sketches of Leo and BOB to her.  She reacts violently to the second.
      "Tr- tr- tr-"
   -- Ben and Jerry contemplate over which ledger to burn then decide to roast
      marshmallows
   -- Andy fights scotch tape at the RR.  The log lady enters and tells the
      Major to "deliver the message."
   -- Andy tells Lucy he's sterile:
      Listen to me, Lucy Moran, you just listen.  When the Takoma
      Sperm Bank was looking for donors, naturally I applied.  It's my civic
      duty and I like whales.  A routine physical examination revealed that
      I'm sterile.  Sure I thought it meant I didn't have to take a
      bath, but the doctors told me the truth.  They told me I can't have
      babies.  So what I wanna know now is why are you having one and how?
   -- Hank sees Cooper and Truman, signs his parole form.  Hank was a Bookhouse
      Boy.  Ben calls: Audrey's missing.
   -- Jerry shows Ben the unsigned insurance policy.  Ben calls Einar Thorson -
      Leland's already called.  Leland recognizes Bob; he lived next door to

   -- Lucy gets a call but hangs up on him because he remains anonymous
   -- At OEJ, Audrey questions Battis.  He recruited Laura and Ronette to work
      at OEJ.  Laura used drugs one weekend so they got rid of her.
   -- Bobby and Shelly scheme over Leo

   Night
   -- Cooper reports Windom Earle's flight to Diane.  The Major visits.
      BRIGGS: I have a message for you.
      COOPER: From whom?
      BRIGGS: I'm not at liberty to reveal the nature of my work.  This
        secrecy pains me from time to time.  Any bureaucracy that
        functions in secret inevitably lends itself to corruption.
        But these rules I have pledged to uphold and I believe a
        pledge is sacred.
      Briggs shows Cooper the message: /THE/OWLS/ARE/NOT/WHAT/THEY/SEEM/
   -- James sings with Donna and Maddy.  James and Maddy exchange looks, Donna
      gets jealous, then gets a call from Harold Smith.  Maddy sees BOB.

      Albert reports: the B from Ronette's              Mrs. Palmer
      finger was from a Fleshworld.           Maddy ----===========---- Cooper
      The cocaine found in James' cycle                   Ronette
      matches that found in Leo's house and Jacques' car.
      Cooper was shot with a Walther PPK.
      Albert and Truman trade words:
      ALBERT: You listen to me.  While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the
       fact is that I am a nay-sayer and hatchet man in the fight against
       violence.  I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take
       another, because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and
       King.  My concerns are global.  I reject absolutely revenge,
       aggression, and retaliation.  The foundation of such a method...is
       love. I love you, Sheriff Truman.
      COOPER: Albert's path is a strange and difficult one.
   -- Lucy looks for words with R, B, and T.  Richard Tremayne, her lunch date,
      arrives at the station.  Hawk offers two more words: prohibited, robot.
   -- Leland drops by and tells Cooper, Truman, and Hawk about the man in the
      sketch - he lived in a white house, across a vacant lot from his
      grandfather's place on Pearl Lakes.  His name was Robertson and he used
      to flick matches at him, "you wanna play with fire, little boy?"  Leland
      flicks a match nicely himself into an ashtray.  Cooper picks it up and
      blows it out.

   Afternoon
   -- At the RR, Lucy and Dick have words over lunch.  They used to go out
      every Thursday night for three months, but he hasn't called in 6 weeks,
      since their encounter in Horne's Home Furnishings.  She tells him of her
      pregnancy.
   -- James and Maddy discuss Donna.  She arrives at an opportune moment, while
      they're holding hands, and storms out.

   -- The OAM shows shoes to Truman, sees the sketch of BOB, gets dizzy
      and heads for the bathroom

   -- Truman gets a call from Pete - Josie will be back tomorrow afternoon.
      Hawk has information about the white house - it's boarded up and no name
      on the mailbox.  Truman tells Cooper about the OAM and flinches when
      Cooper reminds him that in his dream, the OAM knew BOB.  Cooper finds the
      needle in the bathroom.

   -- Ed visits Nadine who is strapped to her bed.  He sings to her, and she
      breaks her straps and wakes up.  She's 18.

      Hypnotized, he says he smelled engine oil at the park, and he saw
      Jacques' killer

   Night (full moon)
   -- Donna brings Harold's flower to Laura's grave and has a one-way
      conversation with her

          night after night.
      C:  The Great Northern Hotel!

        February 22.  Last night I had the strangest dream. I was in a
        red room with a small man, dressed in red, and an old man
        sitting in a chair.  I tried to talk to him.  I wanted to tell
        him who BOB is, because I thought he could help me.  But my
        words came out slow and odd.  It was frustrating trying to talk.
        I got up and walked to the old man.  Then I leaned over and
        whispered the secret in his ear.
        Somebody has to stop BOB.  BOB's only afraid of one man.  He
        told me once.  A man named Mike.  I wonder if this was Mike in
        my dream.  Even if it was only a dream, I hope he heard me.  No
        one in the real world would believe me.
        February 23.  Tonight is the night that I die.  I know I have
        to because it's the only way to keep BOB away from me.  The
        only way to tear him out from inside.  I know he wants me.  I
        can feel his fire.  But if I die he can't hurt me anymore.

        in my dream.  He said he wanted to play.  He opened me and I
        invited him and he came inside me.  When he was inside, I
        didn't know.  When he was gone, I couldn't remember.  He made me
        do things.  Terrible things.  He said he wanted lives.  He wanted
        others, others that they could use, like they used me.
      Cooper: Like Laura.
      Leland: They wanted her.  But she was strong.  She fought.  She wouldn't
        let him in.  Oh God.  They had me kill that girl, Teresa.  And
        they said if I didn't give them Laura, they'd have me kill
        her, too.
      Cooper: But she wouldn't let them in.
      Leland: They said she'd die before she'd let them.  Then they made me
        kill her.  Oh God, have mercy on me.  What have I done?  What
        have I done?  Oh God.  I love her.  I love her with all my heart.
        My angel, forgive me.
      <Cooper looks to Albert, who shakes his head -- apparently Leland
      isn't going to live>
      Cooper: Leland.  Leland, the time has come for you to seek the path.
        Your soul has set you face to face with the clear light and
        you are now about to experience it in its reality.  Wherein all
        things are like the void and cloudless sky and the naked
        spotless intellect is like a transparent vacuum, without
        circumference or center.  Leland, in this moment, know yourself
        and abide in that state.  Look to the light, Leland.  Find the
        light.
      Leland: I see it.
      Cooper: Into the light, Leland.  Into the light.
      Leland: I see... Her.  She's there.
