Desmond enters.  Cole and another man, SAM STANLEY, walk towards him.

		COLE
	   (motioning to the man standing there)
	CHET, GIVE SAM STANLEY THE GLAD
	HAND.  HE'S COME OVER FROM SPOKANE.

Desmond and Stanley shake.

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

		COLE
	SAM'S THE MAN WHO CRACKED THE
	WHITEMAN CASE.

		DESMOND
	Congratulations.  I heard about that.

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.

Cole gives him the thumbs up.

Lil finishes her dance.

	GOOD LUCK, CHET.

	HIS OWN M.O. MODUS OPERANDI.

Desmond's car on the highway.

10.  INT.  DESMOND'S CAR - SAME

As they barrel down the highway -

		STANLEY
	That was really something.  That
	dancing girl.
		 (after a beat)
	What did it mean?

		DESMOND
	Code.  If you work with Gordon you learn
	that right away.

		STANLEY
	Code, I've heard a lot about this.

Desmond pulls his arm back so that only his fingers come out of his
sleeve.

		DESMOND
	Sort of shorthand.

		STANLEY
		(missing the humor)
	Shorthand.  really?

		DESMOND
	We're heading into a difficult situation.

		STANLEY
	How do you figure?

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

As Desmond explains we -

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

11.     CONTINUED:

		DESMOND (continued)
	Lil was walking in place which means
	there's going to be a lot of legwork
	involved.

WE SEE COLE PUTTING HIS FINGERS IN FRONT OF HIS FACE AND SAYING LIL
IS HIS SISTER'S GIRL.

		DESMOND (continued)
	Cole said Lil was "his mother's sister's
	girl".  What is missing in that sentence?
	The Uncle.

		STANLEY
	Oh, the uncle is missing.

		DESMOND
	Not Cole's Uncle but probably the
	sheriff's uncle in federal prison.

		STANLEY
	So the sheriff had got an Uncle who's
	committed a serious crime.

ON LIL'S RED WIG

		DESMOND
	Right, which is probably why Lil was
	wearing a red wig meaning we are
	headed into a dangerous situation.  Let
	me ask you something, Stanley, did you
	notice anything about the dress?

		STANLEY
	The dress she was wearing had been
	altered to fit her.  I noticed a different
	colored thread where the dress had been
	taken in.  It wasn't her dress or she
	must have lost some weight.

		DESMOND
	Gordon said you were good.  The tailored
	dress is our code for drugs.  Did you
	notice what was pinned to it?

		STANLEY
	A blue rose.

		DESMOND
	Very good, but I can't tell you about
	that.

Stanley rides along quietly for a while.

		STANLEY
	What did Gordon's tie mean?

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

		STANLEY
	Why couldn't he have just told you all
	these things?

		DESMOND
	He talks loud.  And he loves his code.

		STANLEY
	I see.  He does talk loud.

		DESMOND
	Gordon would not have sent us to Deer
	Meadow without thinking it was a
	high priority situation.

		STANLEY
	It must be a high priority situation.

12.  EXT.  HIGHWAY - SAME

Desmond's car drives off.

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...

Desmond shows his credentials.

		DESMOND
	Federal Bureau of Investigation, Special
	Agent Chet Desmond.

15.     CONTINUED:

Cliff, still holding his nose, appears just behind Desmond, who turns
to him.

		DESMOND (continued)
	That's all right, Deputy, Sheriff Cable
	can take it from here

Cable signals Cliff to leave.

		DESMOND (continued)
	I'm here to investigate the murder of
	Teresa Banks.

		CABLE
	Well, little fella, we don't need any
	outside help here.  I don't like you
	people sniffin' around my neck of the
	woods.  In fact, when the state boys
	called me about a "J. Edgar" coming up I
	think I said, "So what?"

		DESMOND
	Your behavior is not funny and is
	wasting the time of the Federal
	Government.

		CABLE
	You're lucky I am not wasting you.

		DESMOND
	Well, little fella, let me put it this way.
	The operative word here would be
	"Federal".  With or without the
	semantics of all this, I am now ordering
	you to release all pertinent information
	concerning Teresa Banks, both while
	living and deceased.

Cable retrieves a box with the paper work and some personal effects.
He throws it to Desmond.

		CABLE
	A basic kill.  Banks was a drifter and
	nobody knew her.  My boys have been all
	over this.  It's a dead end.

		DESMOND
	That's why we're here, Sheriff Cable.
	Where's the body?

		CABLE
	Out back in our morgue

Desmond starts to leave.

		CABLE (continued)
	It's 4:30.  We close at five.

		DESMOND
	We've got our own clock.  We'll lock up.

As Desmond turns to leave he notices on the wall a framed Newspaper
clipping with picture.

The caption reads:

		"CABLE BENDS STEEL"

The newspaper shows a picture of Cable in a He-Man pose bending a
steel BAR into a U shape.  He turns to leave and Stanley seems to
have appeared right on time.  Desmond moves down the hall and Stanley
follows.

16.  EXT.  SHERIFF'S STATION - DAY

As Desmond and Stanley walk to the adjoining morgue they see a pile of
steel BARS similar to the one they saw Cable bending in the picture.

AT THE MORGUE DOOR

Stanley moves up to Desmond and speaks confidentially.

		STANLEY
	You know, Agent Desmond, I figure this
	whole office, furniture included, is
	worth 27,000 dollars.

Desmond doesn't know what to say to him.  They enter the morgue.

17.  INT.  TINY MORGUE - DAY

Teresa's body is on the platform in the middle of the room,  Stanley
hangs his recorder on the hooks at the end of the autopsy table and
puts on rubber gloves.  Desmond opens Teresa Banks file.

		DESMOND
		(reading)
	Teresa Banks lived at the Canyon
	Trailer Park for a month.  We'll check
	that.  And worked as a waitress at Hap's
	Truck Stop.  Worked the Night Shift.
	Good place for dinner when we're thru
	here, Sam.

	No one came to claim the body and no
	known next of kin.

17.     CONTINUED:

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

		STANLEY
	Solved the Whiteman Case with this.

		DESMOND
	That's what I heard.

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

		DESMOND
	That's good.

		STANLEY
	Yes, it is good.
		 (looks around)
	What do you think is in these other
	drawers?

		DESMOND
	I don't know, Sam.

		STANLEY
	Maybe, later we could take a look.

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

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

		STANLEY
		(into his recorder)
	Crushed skull.  Probable cause repeated
	blows to the back of the head with an
	obtuse angled blunt object.  Subject
	looks to be between 16 and 18 years of
	age.

		DESMOND
	Cole said she was 17.

Stanley's eyes drift to Teresa's left hand.

		STANLEY
	I wonder where her ring is?

Desmond notices the mark on her hand as well.

		DESMOND
	Yeah.

	Personal effects include a watch, under
	garments, and a blue waitress
	uniform...  the ring is missing.  It says
	the rest of her things haven't been
	removed yet from the trailer.  Let's
	hope it's there.

Stanley picks up her left hand.

INSERT: BANKS LEFT HAND

In Stanley's hand.

ON THE SCENE

		STANLEY
	There appears to be a contusion under
	the ring finger of her left hand.

		DESMOND
	Oh.

Stanley peers underneath the fingernail.

		STANLEY
	A laceration.

Stanley brings over his "Whiteman" instrument.  Works the left hand
under it.

		DESMOND
	Accidental?

		STANLEY
	Agent Desmond, would you hold the
	finger for me.  There's something up
	there.

He gets whatever it is with a long set of tweezers.

		DESMOND
	What is it?

		STANLEY
	It is a piece of paper with the letter "T"
	imprinted on it.  Take a look.

Desmond comes around and takes a look.

INSERT: THE LETTER "T".

		DESMOND
	We're not.  You and I are going to get
	some food.

		STANLEY
	Yes, it's been several hours since we've
	eaten.  I didn't realize that so much
	time had past, did you, Agent Desmond?

Desmond takes a long look at Stanley.

A GUY in the room is working on a light that keeps buzzing and

	the fifties when Hap was running the
	place.

		DESMOND
	Where's Hap?

		JACK
	He's dead - good and dead.

		DESMOND
	Sorry to hear it.

		JACK
	He didn't suffer.

		DESMOND
	I'd like to ask you a few questions about
	Teresa Banks

		JACK
	Sheriff Cable's already asked me a few
	questions about Teresa Banks.  She
	worked nights for a month.  That's it.

		DESMOND
	Any friends?

		JACK
	No.

		DESMOND
	Ever see her with someone else?

		JACK
	No.

		DESMOND
	Did she ever mention any friends?

	No.

They sit at the counter and IRENE comes over to them.  Behind her is
the coffee and she is working on a cigarette.  Lipstick smeared on
the coffee cup.

		IRENE
	Take a good look around.  There's nobody in
	this place - you're meetin' the reason
	why.  What'll it be?

		DESMOND
	How come Jack let's you work here?

		IRENE
	Jack and I are united in holy matrimony.

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

	Do you take cocaine, Irene?

		IRENE
	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.

		DESMOND
	He's with me.

	Anything you would like to tell us about
	Teresa Banks that would help us out?

	I've thought about that.  I think her

	Thanks.

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

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

		IRENE
	You know, I never told anybody, but once
	for about three days, just before her
	time, Teresa's arm went completely
	dead.

		DESMOND
	What do you mean?

		IRENE
	Her left arm.  It was numb.  She said she
	couldn't use it.  Said it had no feeling.
	Probably from the drugs she was taking.

		DESMOND
	Thanks.

Stanley watches her leave.

		STANLEY
	I doubt it was drugs, more likely a
	problem with a nerve.  I could recheck
	the arm for injuries, but for real nerve
	work we are going to have to take the
	body back to Portland.

		DESMOND
	I think that's a good idea.

	Are you speaking to me in a code?

		DESMOND
	No, Sam, I'm speaking plainly and I mean
	just exactly what I say.

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

Irene walks past them and towards the parking lot.

		STANLEY AND DESMOND
	Thanks, Irene.  Good...
		(catch themselves)
	Good morning.

		STANLEY
	Thank god it is morning.

23.  EXT.  CANYON TRAILER COURT - DAWN

Desmond and Stanley drive thru to the manager's trailer which is
surrounded by a small white picket fence.  They park and step to the
trailer.  Desmond knocks twice on the door.  From inside they hear a
voice that makes Cole's voice sound like a whisper.

		VOICE
	OH, GOD, WHAT...  WHAT...

Just then Desmond and Stanley notice a sign on the door that reads.

		  "DO NOT EVER DISTURB BEFORE 9
		 A.M...    EVER"

		VOICE
	CAN'T YOU READ!

		STANLEY
	Nine's really late.  We are really early.

They both fumble for their badges as they hear the manager coming
closer to the door.  They meet the manager, CARL RODD.

		CARL
	God damn, this better be
	important.

He stops in the middle of this when he sees the badges.

		DESMOND
	Federal Bureau of Investigation, Special
	Agent Chet Desmond and Agent Sam
	Stanley.  Sorry to disturb you, but we
	would like to see Teresa Banks' trailer,
	please.

		CARL
	More popular than Uncle's Day at a
	whorehouse.
		(takes one step out of his trailer)
	GOD DAMN, THAT MORNING SUN IS
	BRIGHT!  BLUE BRIGHT.

Carl steps thru the little picket fence's gate and leads them towards
Teresa's Trailer.

		CARL (continued)
	Mrs. Simmons owns the trailer and she
	lives in town.  Teresa rented it about a
	month ago.

		DESMOND
	Did she have someone with her?

		CARL
	Right.  She had a friend with her.  The
	friend took off.

		DESMOND
	Was there an argument?

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

		DESMOND
	Yes they do.  Did she have visitors?

		CARL
	No, hey, I already told this whole damn
	thing to Sheriff "Not-Quite-Able"...
	Here's the trailer now.

He swings open the door.

		CARL (continued)
	And this is exactly the way she left it.  I
	never touched a GOD DAMN THING.
	   (frustration rising)
	GOD!

Desmond and Stanley go in.

24.  INT.  TERESA'S TRAILER

Desmond smells the room.  He and Stanley look around.  Stanley leans
over to Desmond.

		STANLEY
		(whispers)
	She lived alone.

		DESMOND
	She must have known someone.

Desmond notices her personal effects on the dresser, but no ring.

		DESMOND (continued)
	You better dust this place, Sam.

		STANLEY
	I'll get my kit.

25.  EXT.  CANYON TRAILER COURT

Stanley walks towards the car.  He writes in his note book.

INSERT - PICTURE

Teresa Banks is wearing a ring.

BACK ON THE SCENE

Stanley returns with his equipment.  Desmond shows him the photograph.

		DESMOND
	Take a look at this.

		STANLEY
	She's wearing a ring.

Stanley studies it.

		DESMOND
	My guess is there isn't enough detail in
	the photo to get an idea of the design on
	the ring, but we should do a blowup of
	this anyway.

		STANLEY
	(squinting at the picture)
	May I see the magnifying glass, Agent
	Desmond?
		  (takes a look, then looks at
		Desmond)
	There doesn't seem to be enough detail
	in the photo to ascertain the design on
	the ring.

Carl leans in from the outside.

		CARL
	I'm gonna make myself some Good
	Morning America.  You want some?

Both nod "yes".

Stanley is finishing up his work.  Carl brings them their coffee.

	We really do need a good "wake me up",

		(after a long look from Desmond)
	We really do need a good "wake me up",
	don't we, Agent Desmond?

A WOMAN sticks her head into the trailer.  She has an ice pack over
one eye and a load of idle curiosity.  Desmond notices her.

		DESMOND
	Did you know Teresa Banks?

She just nods in the negative and leans back out.  Behind her is
Deputy Cliff, who looks into the trailer.

		CLIFF
	Hey, how's J. Edgar doin'?
		(to Carl)
	Bet you appreciate them bustin' your
	mornin' in half, eh, Carl?  Bet they woke
	you up.

		CARL
	They're only doing their job.

		DESMOND
	What are you doing here in the trailer
	court, Deputy?

		CLIFF
	Maybe I just live here, what do you
	think about that?

		DESMOND
	Can I ask you where you were the night
	Teresa Banks was murdered?

		CLIFF
	You can tell J. Edgar that I was at a
	party and I got fifteen fuckin'
	witnesses.

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

		CLIFF
	Is that right, Mr. Jack Daniels?

		DESMOND
	Did you know Teresa Banks?

		CLIFF
	Got a couple of cups of coffee at Hap's
	from her.  That's it.  By the way where
	do you get off questioning a lawman?  I
	could ask you the same question.

		DESMOND
	No you couldn't.

Chet steps towards Cliff who looses his balance and has to step off
the trailer steps.

28.  EXT.  CANYON TRAILER COURT - SAME

Desmond stands in the doorway of the trailer and watches Cliff get
into his car and drive to work.

Stepping away from the trailer Desmond spots something underneath.
He bends down and retrieves a Titleist Golf Ball.

		DESMOND
	Is there a golf course around here?

		CARL
	Not a lot around here, no.  Got some
	clubs, but not very many fellas with
	balls.

Desmond drops the ball in a plastic bag and gives it to Stanley who
puts it in his kit.  Desmond turns to Carl.

		DESMOND
	Thanks for your help, Carl.  Sorry we
	woke you up.

		CARL
	That's alright.  I was having a bad
	dream.  I was dreamin' about a joke
	with no punchline.

Desmond and Stanley nod to Carl and walk to their car.

		STANLEY
	I couldn't help but notice that you had a
	suspicion that Deputy Cliff was the
	murderer.  You did think that, didn't you,
	Agent Desmond?

		DESMOND
	He's not the murderer.

	Yes, he is like a clown.

Desmond walks around the car to the drivers' side and gets in.

The FBI MOBILE CRIME VAN sits outside as Desmond and Stanley pull up.

Cable and Cliff meet Desmond and Stanley as they come in the door.
The CRIME VAN DRIVER sits nearby.  The secretary is behind her desk.

		CABLE
	What the hell is that thing doing out
	there?  You're not taking that body
	anywhere.

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

		CABLE
	Maybe not _a_ thing, but maybe _two_
	things.

		DESMOND
	Teresa Banks had a ring.  Any idea what
	happened to it?

		CABLE
	We got a phone, here, that's got a little
	ring.

		DESMOND
	   (turning to Stanley)
	Sam, get the body and put it in the van.

He reaches out and stops Stanley from going out to get the body.
Cable smiles menacingly at Desmond.

		CABLE (continued)
	Cliff told me you asked him the same
	thing.  Why don't we step around back
	and we'll have our final "discussion" out
	doors.

Cable exits followed by Cliff and the giggling secretary.

		STANLEY
	 (coming close to Desmond)
	When he says, "Discussion", how do you
	take that, Agent Desmond?

		DESMOND
	I don't take it, Sam.  I give it.

31.  EXT.  BEHIND THE SHERIFF'S STATION - DAY

Desmond, Cliff, Stanley, Cable, the secretary and the FBI van driver
all have stepped outside by the pile of iron bars.

		CABLE
	Now, J. Edgar, I'm going to take off my
	badge, here.  Do you mind?
	   (takes his badge off)
	The only way you're going to get that
	body is over mine.

He picks up a steel bar and bends it ala the picture in his office.

		CLIFF
		  (to Desmond)
	You try that you little monkey.

		DESMOND
	I think I'll take off my badge as well.

Desmond takes his coat and badge off.  Cable takes his shirt off and
Desmond follows.  Cable is bare-chested and Desmond is in FBI issue
underwear.

Desmond goes to pick up an iron bar and Cable hits him with a sucker
punch.  As Desmond bends away from this Cable rushes at him.  Desmond
stops him with a few well placed punches to his face.  Cable falls
down and Desmond stands over him.  Chet picks up the steel bar and
bends it.  He then tosses the bar away.

Cable stands up and rushes at Desmond who flips and flops him around.
Cable tries one more grand roadhouse punch which Desmond expertly

After a moment of unbearable humiliation they shuffle away.

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

	Take the van back to Portland, Stanley.

	trailer park.

They walk towards the van until Stanley stops.

		STANLEY
		(confidentially)
	One thing that has been troubling me.
	That lamp at the diner.  Do you think
	they were working on it for esthetic
	reasons or was their work due to faulty
	wiring?

		DESMOND
	Faulty wiring.

		STANLEY
	Esthetics are subjective, aren't they,
	Agent Desmond?

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

	83,000 dollars.

33.  EXT.  THE TRAILER COURT - DAY

Desmond is standing in front of Teresa's trailer with Carl Rodd.

		CARL

	   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_.

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...

	And I am going to tell you exactly what
	it is...  in a moment...  you have moved...

	Got it!  It's the clock, you've moved it
	12 inches to the left.

	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

Cooper with a triumphant smile walks over to join Cole and Albert.
But Cole's stern look takes his smile away.

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.

	Oh, alright.

	You know, I liked Agent Desmond.  He

Stanley turns to one of his work tables and shows Cooper the Whiteman
machine.

Teresa.

	And no one found the ring?

	No, sir, we did not.

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

	I'm Sam Stanley, if you ever need me.

37.  EXT.  CANYON TRAILER COURT - DAY

Carl Rodd shows Cooper to Teresa's trailer.

		CARL
	GOD.  I'm beginning to lose faith in the
	United States Government and that
	includes the telephone system.  Don't
	you folks talk to one another.  That's her
	trailer there and I haven't touched a god

	by a second time and asked too see
	Deputy Cliff Howard's trailer

	...which I showed him.  I went back to
	my trailer...
	  (gestures back to his)
	After that I never saw him again.

		COOPER
	Thank you, Carl.

Cooper starts walking in the opposite direction from Cliff's trailer
picking up on the same odd vibe that struck Desmond.

	That's not the way to Cliff's trailer.  I

		CARL
	Well, where are you going?

		COOPER
	I am going over here.

		CARL
	  (coming along with him)
	God damn, you people are confusing.

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

		COOPER
	What was here, Mr. Rodd?

		CARL
	A trailer was here.  What the hell do you
	think?

		COOPER
	Can you tell me who's trailer it was...
	and who stayed in the trailer?

		CARL
	An old woman and her grandson.

		COOPER
	Can you tell me what their names were?

		CARL
	Chalfont.  Weird.  Chalfont was the
	name of the folks that rented the space
	before they did.  Two Chalfonts.

Cooper kneels to examine the tracks left by the exited trailer.
As he kneels and inspects the tracks he is overcome by the presence
of SOMETHING.

Cooper struggles to his feet and looks around.  Under a tree and
close to the tracks is a car.

		COOPER
	Is that Agent Desmond's vehicle?

		CARL
	Yep, it sure is.

Cooper walks to it.

	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

	But...

Cole calms Cooper.

		COLE
	STAND FAST, COOP.

		JEFFRIES

	Who do you think that is there?

		ALBERT
	(trying to calm Jeffries)
	Suffered some bumps on the old noggin',
	eh, Phil?

		COLE
	WHAT THE HELL DID HE SAY?
	   (pointing at Cooper)
	THAT'S SPECIAL AGENT DALE COOPER.
	  (focusing on Jeffries)
	ARE YOU OKAY, JEFFRIES?  WHERE THE
	HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?

		JEFFRIES
	I want to tell you everything, but I don't
	have a lot to go on.  But I'll tell you one
	thing:  Judy is positive about this.

		ALBERT
	How interesting.  I thought we were
	going to keep Judy out of this.

Jeffries stumbles to a chair.

		JEFFRIES
	Listen to me carefully.  I saw one of
	their meetings.  It was above a
	convenience store.

		ALBERT
	Who's meeting?  Where have you been?

		COLE
	FOR GOD SAKES, JEFFRIES, YOU'VE BEEN

	NO, NO.  I found something...  in Seattle

Albert is about to say something, but is stopped by Cole's gentle
pressure on his arm.

		JEFFRIES
	They sat quietly for hours.

53.  INT.  ROOM ABOVE THE CONVENIENCE STORE - DAY

SIX PEOPLE in a large, barren, filthy room.  Cheap plastic storm
windows flap in the cold wind.  In the foreground the Man From
Another Place (Mike) and BOB sit at a formica table.  Behind them
on plastic torn chairs huddle MRS. TREMOND and her GRANDSON.  TWO
BIG WOODSMEN with full beards sit quietly.

Jeffries begins to cry quietly at his table.

		JEFFRIES

	The ring...  ring...

		COLE

	ALBERT, I'LL TAKE THAT SECOND
	MINERAL WATER.

After a hesitation, Albert gets the "message" and discreetly leaves
the room.

		COLE (continued)
	PHILLIP, LET'S CALM DOWN AND GET ALL
	OF THIS INTERESTING STORY ON PAPER.

Cole tries to raise someone on the intercom but it doesn't seem to
have any juice.

		COLE (continued)
		(into the speaker)
	HELLO...  HELLO.

He is getting nothing.  The static begins to build on the intercom.
The wiring in the wall and the flourescent lights start to hum as
well.

		COLE (continued)
	LET ME HEAR SOME GOOD NEWS.  MY
	DEVICE IS FAULTY.  WHERE THE HELL IS
	THE SOUND IN THIS THING?

Hearing "May", Jeffries turns and stares at a _calendar_on_the_wall_.
Move into Jeffries.

55.  INT.  BUENOS AIRES HOTEL CORRIDOR - SAME

Jeffries is suddenly standing in the second story hallway of the
Buenos Aires Palm Deluxe Hotel.  The wall behind him is seared black
and smoking.  A terrified MAID is whimpering and scampering away from
Jeffries trying to stave away an epileptic fit.  She is looking at
him like he is the devil personified.

The bellhop had run further away, but has turned back to see Jeffries
reappear.  He is afraid to come any closer.

		JEFFRIES

	Hey...  hey...

		BELLHOP

		DONNA
	Were you with Bobby?  Or are you two
	still fighting?

		LAURA
	No, and yes.  I don't know what I'm going
	to do about Bobby.  I know he is seeing
	someone else and that's okay with me,
	and he thinks I'm seeing someone else
	and that's not okay with him.

		DONNA
	Are you going to tell him about that
	"someone else"?

FIVE of their ADMIRERS watch Laura and Donna with love and worship.
They sing a kind of pining but cool CHANT with knees bent and arms
outstretched.

		ADMIRERS
	"Laura...  Donna...  Laura...  Donna..."

On Donna as they continue down the hall.  A cool MIKE NELSON snaps
his fingers ala Bobby for Donna to come to him.  Without missing a
beat Donna changes directions.  Mike has to hustle to catch up with
her.

	That's why you need a real man, Babe,

James waits for Laura amidst the cleaning drums and brooms.  The door
swings open and Laura slides in wearing only a towel.  They embrace
in the half light.

		JAMES
	Laura, do you love me?

		LAURA
	Yes, I love you.  I've told you, but it
	doesn't really matter.

		JAMES
	Why?  It does.

		LAURA
	No, it doesn't...  just kiss me.

		JAMES
	It does matter.  We're in love.

		LAURA
	James, you don't know what you are
	talking about.  Quit trying to hold on so
	tight.  I'm gone...  long gone like a turkey
	through the corn.

		JAMES
	You're not a turkey.  A turkey is one of

	Gobble, gobble, gobble.

He smiles.  She kisses him and he responds.

	Don't ever leave, Laura, ever.  I'll never

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.

	Faster and faster.  For a long time you

	burst into fire...  forever.

Donna studies her friend and thinks about what she has said.  After
a beat.

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.

	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.

79.  INT.  PALMER DINING ROOM - NIGHT

Laura is already at the table.  Sarah puts the rest of the dinner on
the table and sits down just as LELAND PALMER enters from the kitchen.
He is pretending he is a giant.  Using a voice like a giant.

		LELAND
		(big giant voice)
	Hello, Laura.  Hello Sarah.  Where's my
	axe?
		(singing)
	"I'm hungry".

		SARAH
	Oh, Leland.

		LAURA
		  (embarrassed)
	Dad.

		LELAND
		  (suddenly speaking Norwegian)
	Hyggelig a mote dem.  Jeg Heter Leland
	Palmer.

Translation is:  How are you?  My name is Leland Palmer.

Laura and Sarah stare at him.

		LELAND
	The Norwegians are coming next week
	and I want you to learn to say what I
	just learned in Norwegian.  So you can
	talk to them.  I want you to learn to say,
	"Hello, my name is Leland Palmer".

		LAURA
	But my name isn't Leland Palmer.

		SARAH
	Neither is mine.  And can't we talk
	about something serious for a change.

		LELAND
	This is serious.  Mr. Benjamin Horne's
	got a delegation of Norwegians coming
	in next week and I want both of you to
	learn to introduce yourself.  Sarah, you
	first.

Leland repeats his phrase for Sarah's benefit.

		LELAND
	Hyggelig a mote dem.  Jeg Heter Leland
	Palmer.

Sarah stumbles through it.

		SARAH
	Hyggelig a mote dem.  Jeg Heter Sarah
	Palmer.

Leland repeats his phrase back to her.  Extends his hand in a friendly
handshake.

		LELAND
	Good.  We'll practice some more.  Laura,
	now you try it.

Laughingly, Laura does the same thing.

		LAURA
	Hyggelig a mote dem.  Jeg Heter Laura
	Palmer.

After Laura is done.

		LELAND
	All together now...

Leland extends a hand to each of them.  An air of insanity seems to
come over the Palmer dining room as they all begin to laugh
hysterically and talk in broken Norwegian.

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_.

Albert and Cooper.

		ALBERT
	Cooper, the ooze of mumbo jumbo is
	rising up above our heads.  Do you
	honestly think Cole's practice of word
	association works?

		COOPER
	The very fact that we are talking about
	word association means we are in a
	space that was opened up by our
	practice of word association.  The
	world is a hologram, Albert.

		ALBERT
	Yes, it's a great big psychedelic circus
	ride, isn't it, Cooper?

		COOPER
	Albert.

		ALBERT
	You said, "Teresa Banks", so you think
	something is going on somewhere in the
	world right now that is connected with
	her murder?

		COOPER
	Yes.  Either right now or right when I
	thought of it.  The name and memory of
	Teresa Banks is haunting me.  Lately I
	have been filled with a knowingness
	that the murderer will strike again.
	Because it is only a feeling, I am
	powerless to stop it.  And another thing,
	Albert, when the next murder happens
	you will help me solve it.

		ALBERT
	Let's test it for the record.  Will the
	next victim be a man or a woman?

		COOPER
	A woman.

		ALBERT
	What color hair will she have?

		COOPER
	Blonde.

		ALBERT
	Tell me some other things about her.

		COOPER
	She's in high school.  She's sexually
	active.  She's on drugs.  She's crying out
	for some help.

		ALBERT
	You're describing half the high school
	girls in America.
		(off Cooper's look)
	What is she doing right now?

		COOPER
		(closing his eyes to see a mental

	She is preparing a great abundance of

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"

NORMA JENNINGS and SHELLY JOHNSON watch from the cash register.
Shelly is ringing someone out, handing back their change.

		NORMA
	Shelly, would you give Laura a quick
	hand with the "Meals on Wheels"?

		SHELLY
	I'm kind of busy, Norma.

		NORMA
	You're not busy, sweetheart, now go.

With a little squeeze of the hand and a gentle shove, Norma moves
Shelly towards Laura who is at the end of the counter.

The door opens to the Diner and ED and NADINE HURLEY come in.  Nadine
stops when she sees Norma.

		NADINE
	I changed my mind, I don't want any
	coffee, Eddie.

Nadine goes out.  As she walks past Ed he looks at Norma and makes a
"What can I do" gesture.

		ED
	Sorry, Norma.

Ed goes out.

SHELLY AND LAURA

Shelly approaches sheepishly.

		SHELLY
	Can I give you a hand getting the dinners
	together?

		LAURA
	That's alright, Shelly.  I know you have
	better things to do.

		SHELLY
	  (disregarding the jab)
	Norma asked me to give you a hand.

		LAURA
	Okay.  You can help me carry them to the
	car.

Shelly gathers up a pile of the dinners and takes them out to the
"Meals on Wheels" car.

88.  EXT.  THE DOUBLE R - DAY

Shelly loads her stuff in the back.  She returns to the diner and
Laura follows doing the same.

As Laura places her dinners in the back something catches her eye and
she turns.

LAURA'S POV

Mrs. Tremond and her grandson are standing in the parking lot staring
at Laura.  Mrs. Tremond waves to Laura to come over.  When Laura comes
to them Mrs. Tremond holds out a framed picture.

		TREMOND
	This would look nice on your wall.

She hands Laura the picture.  It is a picture of a room with flowered
wallpaper and a dark doorway in its corner.  Laura's study of it is
interrupted by the grandson.

		GRANDSON
	He's looking for a book with pages torn
	out.  He's walking towards the hiding
	place.  He's moving under the fan now.

ANOTHER ANGLE

Shelly comes out of the Diner with another load of meals.  Laura turns
back to her and then back to the Tremonds, who are walking away from
her and are farther away than they realistically could be.  Laura
comes to Shelly in a panic.

		LAURA
	Shelly, you really can help me.  I can't
	do the "Meals on Wheels" today.  I just
	can't.

		SHELLY
	Okay.

Laura runs off.  Shelly puts her load into the car as she watches
Laura.

89.  INT.  DOUBLE R - DAY

Shelly goes to Norma.

		SHELLY
	Laura just took off.  She asked me to do
	the run today.  Should I do it?

		NORMA
	What's with that Laura?  Yeah, sure,
	take a look around.  There's no one here

	anyway.

		SHELLY
	You're right.  There's no one here.

		NORMA
	There's no one here.

		SHELLY
	Norma, are you alright?

Norma just turns away and picks up some dirty dishes.

		NORMA
	Come back as soon as you can.

		SHELLY
	If Leo comes here, he won't believe that
	I am out doing the "Meals on Wheels".

		NORMA
	Don't worry, Shelly, I'll handle Leo.

Shelly leaves the diner.

ON NORMA

In the empty diner Norma walks over and sits in a booth.  She studies
the empty diner.  After a while the cook, TOAD, calls from the
kitchen.  A distant forlorn call.

		TOAD
	Kind of quiet.

CLOSEUP:  ON NORMA

She starts to cry.

90.  EXT.  PALMER HOUSE - DAY

Laura runs home.  Holding the picture from Mrs. Tremond throughout.

		LAURA
		(frantic whispers)
	He's looking for the book, he's going to
	the hiding place!

LAURA'S POV

She stops and stares.  Her house suddenly looks very frightening to
her.  She slowly crosses her front yard and enters the house.

91.  INT.  PALMER HOUSE - DAY

Laura comes in the front door still holding the picture.  She crosses
thru the dining room.

92.  INT.  PALMER HOUSE, STAIRS - DAY

Laura moves ever so slowly up the stairs - the fan still and silent
above her.

At the top of the stairs, she stops and stares at her bedroom door.
Her whole body is shaking.  Her hand goes out in front of her.  She
touches her bedroom door and inches it open.

93.  INT.  LAURA'S BEDROOM - DAY

The opening of the door reveals more and more of her room.  Suddenly
it reveals Bob standing in her room at her dresser.  He has pulled
the dresser away from the wall looking for something.

ON BOB

He is frozen.  Smiling at her.

ON THE SCENE

With a scream, Laura bolts from her room.

94.  EXT.  PALMER HOUSE - SAME

Laura races out of the house still holding Tremond's picture.

95.  EXT.  PALMER'S NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE

Laura runs across two yards to a large tree and falls to her knees,
crying.  She looks up and sees her father come out the front door of
her house.  She watches him cross to his car and drive away.

		LAURA
		(frantic whisper)
	What?  It can't be...  It can't be him...  no...
	no...

Laura is coming apart, sobbing.  Behind her, on the sidewalk,
a NEIGHBOR has noticed her.

		WOMAN
	Laura...

A closer look reveals how upset Laura is.

		WOMAN
	What...  Laura are you all right?

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.

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.

No Bob in her room.  The dresser is back in its place.  Laura races
out.

Laura runs down the sidewalk.

	Of course...

Laura dives toward Donna and into a hug.

		DONNA
	What is it Laura?  What's wrong?

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

		DONNA
	Laura, how about one friend for the rest
	of your whole life?

		LAURA
	Yes, that's what I want.  Thanks D.

		DONNA
	Okay, L.
		(looks into Laura's eyes, a step
		  toward confronting something
		unspoken)
	I am your friend...  always.  But
	sometimes...  lately...  I feel that you
	don't like being around me because I am
	so uptight.

	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.

	I'm thinking about doing it with Mike.
	What do you think?

		LAURA
		 (still looking for a cigarette)
	Donna, you are such a crack up.  You
	don't even like Mike.  Is this what you
	are going to do to show me you are not
	uptight.

		DONNA
	This is about sex, not like.
	  (yells to the kitchen)
	Mom, Laura's here and I think I will have
	one of those huckleberry muffins.
		(to Laura)
	You want a muffin?

		LAURA
	If I can smoke it.

		DONNA
	You want a muffin?

		LAURA
	Donna, you are a muffin.

They hear DOC HAYWARD in the kitchen.  He walks in with a magician's
handkerchief.  With a flourish he tries to pull something out of it.
Instead he stands there empty handed.

		DOC
	The red rose.  Where is the red rose?
		  (frustrated)
	You know the light at Sparkwood and
	21?  It worked right there.  I just did it
	right there.

Laura finds a cigarette finally and lights it.

		DOC
	(stands and stares at Laura
		smoking)
	Why is it that you can't smoke at your
	home and I'm a doctor and I don't allow
	smoking in my home and I let you smoke

Eileen Hayward brings out the muffins on her lap in her wheel chair.
All four have muffins.

		EILEEN
	These muffins each have at least seven
	full huckleberries in them.

While eating Doc takes out a piece of paper and stares blankly at it.
The girls exchange glances about what Dad is doing as they chew on
the muffins.  Doc is struggling.

		DONNA
	Dad, what in the world are you doing?

		DOC
	What the hell is this?

Donna peeks over his shoulder.

		DONNA
	It's a prescription.

		DOC
	Is it?

		DONNA
	Dad.

		DOC
	My handwriting is so bad that now I
	can't even read it.  You girls better
	hurry up and graduate from high school
	so you can take care of me.

	We'll take care of you.

They go over to Doc and give him a knuckle rub.  Eileen laughs along

	Time to come home for dinner, honey.

Laura hangs up the phone.

	I gotta go.

Donna leads Laura to the door.  There is something wrong and Donna
is beginning to feel it.  Donna tries to cheer her up.

		DONNA
	Goodbye, Muffin.

Laura leaves.  As Donna closes the door, Laura calls back to her.

	Leland, what are you doing?

	Look at this finger here.

He is looking at THE FINGER.

		SARAH
	Leland...

		LELAND
	Laura didn't wash her hands before
	dinner.

	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.

	Oh, is this from a lover?

Laura has no response.

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

The MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE walks into the red room to a table.
A ring lies upon the table.

COOPER ENTERS THE RED ROOM.  The Man From Another Place turns toward
Cooper.

	  MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE
	Is it future?  Or is it past?...  Do you
	know who I am?...  I am the Arm...  And I
	sound like this...

The Man From Another Place puts his hand in front of his lips and
makes an Indian Whooping sound.

The Man From Another Place picks up the ring and moves it very close
to us.  We recognize it as Teresa Banks' ring.  The symbols on the
ring are identical to the symbols of Owl Cave.

Cooper seems concerned.

		COOPER
		(to camera)
	Don't take the ring...  Laura, don't take
	the ring.

The Man From Another Place moves the ring towards us till the ring
fills the screen.

114.        BACK IN LAURA'S ROOM

Laura in a somnambular state is half awakened by a noise.  She tries
to move her left arm, but it has fallen asleep.  She moves it with
her right arm.

SFX: THE NOISE

It sounds as if someone is calling her name.

ON LAURA

She turns to her right to see who it is, then turning back to her left
she discovers ANNIE BLACKBURN lying in bed with her.  Annie has blood
around her mouth.  She tries to raise herself and strains to speak.

		ANNIE
	My name is Annie.  I've been with Laura
	and Dale.  The good Dale is in the lodge
	and he can't leave.  Write it in your
	diary.

ON LAURA'S DOOR

Her mother calls her name.  The sound is distant and mournful.

ON LAURA

Laura looks towards her door then turns back to Annie but she is gone.
Filled with fear she looks down and in her hand is Teresa Banks' ring.
SHE SCREAMS.  Again, her attention is drawn to her door and her
mother's distant call.  Still holding the ring she gets out of bed
and goes to her door and slowly opens it.

It is dark on the other side of the door.

AT THE DOORWAY OF LAURA'S BEDROOM

In the doorway Laura gets a strange feeling in back of her and turns
to look at Mrs. Tremond's picture.  There in the picture is Laura
(herself) in the doorway looking back into the darkened rooms where
Mrs. Tremond and her grandson were.

115.        MRS. TREMOND'S PICTURE

Laura is in the picture.  In the picture Laura turns around in the
doorway of the picture and looks down at her room.

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.

James comes by on his bike.  He beeps out a signal on the bike's horn.
After a beat Laura runs out to him.

		JAMES
	Where were you last night?  We were
	supposed to get together.  You didn't
	show up.

		LAURA
	You were supposed to show up.  Maybe I
	wasn't.

	We were supposed to be together.

		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, 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.

He scrubs more.

		 LEO (continued)
	That's one thing you are going to learn,
	Shelly, - HOW TO CLEAN.  It takes
	scrubbing, Shelly.  There is no easy way.
	THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE, SHELLY.

		SHELLY
	As if I didn't know.

		LEO
	I'm going to show you how to wash this
	tile and then you're going to do it.

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

		LEO
	What did you say?

Leo goes over the top pulls Shelly down to the floor.

		LEO
	Shelly, I am not fooling around anymore.
	The first thing you've got to WORK on is
	a good attitude.  That's the key.
	Anybody will tell you that.

Gives her a good shot to the back of the head.  Shelly falls to the
floor.  The phone rings.  Leo gets up to get the phone.

		LEO
	Don't even _think_ about going anywhere,
	Shelly.  I'm not finished with you.

He answers the phone.

		LEO
	What are you doing calling me here?...
	No way, you already owe me money...
	Five thousand, to be exact.

Leo looks over at Shelly suspiciously.  (Did she hear him mention the
five thousand?)

		SHELLY

	Five Thousand???

Laura shoots her a look.

		LAURA
	You mean Fred and Ginger?

		DONNA
	Dancing.

Donna looks around at all the ashtrays filled to the brim with butts.

		DONNA
	(looking at the cigarettes)
	If I had a nickel for every cigarette your

The Log Lady touches her.  Her hand is cooling on Laura's head.
Laura moves in behind it.  Pushing the cool hand into her face and
forehead.

		LAURA
		(whispers)
	Margaret?

		LOG LADY
	The tender bows of innocence burn first
	and the wind rises - then all goodness

They look into each other's eyes.  The Log Lady turns and leaves.

128.        INT.  ROADHOUSE - NIGHT

LOTS OF BIKERS and the usual gang.  On stage a SINGER sings.

As Laura comes in she makes eye contact with Jacques Renault who is
behind the bar.  Laura sits at a table.

Jacques nods to a COUPLE of BURLY TRUCKERS who come over to Laura
with drinks.  One of them slides her a fifty with a packet of cocaine
inside.

		TRUCKER
	Let's go around the world, babe.

		LAURA
	This isn't going to get you to Walla-

They all take a drink.

		TRUCKER
	You do go all the way, don't you, little
	girl?

	Sooner or later.

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

		LAURA
	You willing to go all the way?  Huh?  You

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

	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 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.

Donna starts making out with Buck.

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.

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

	I am The Muffin.

	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

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.

storming out the house with her own very large butcher knife - very

140.        EXT.  CLEARING IN THE WOODS - DAY

SHERIFF TRUMAN and JOSIE PACKARD break from a kiss.  Smiling, Truman
goes back to gently strumming his guitar.

		TRUMAN
	Josie, I think we should go public.

		JOSIE
	That would be wonderful, but it's only
	been a year since Andrew died.

		TRUMAN
	What are you afraid of?  What people
	think?

		JOSIE
	I don't want to offend the customs of
	your country.

		TRUMAN
	Believe me, Josie, you would not offend
	the customs of this country.  For
	instance, I don't eat fish eyes.

		JOSIE
	Fish eyes?

		TRUMAN
	Even if it offended someone, I wouldn't
	eat a fish eye.

		JOSIE
	Why wouldn't you eat a fish eye, Harry?

		TRUMAN
	I saw a guy eat a fish eye once in
	Seattle.  He was digging through his
	food with his chopsticks for about five
	minutes till he found the fish eye and he
	dropped it into his throat.  I guess it
	must have gotten stuck in his uvula
	because right away he started to have
	trouble.  His throat began to flutter
	there like there was a wind blowing.
	And he couldn't swallow and they rushed
	to him and loosened his collar and they
	were asking him if he was alright and
	he started to turn blue and his eyes
	started to roll back into his head and he
	still couldn't get the fish eye out and
	they tried to do a Heimlich maneuver.  I
	went over to him as they were

	preparing to do an emergency
	tracheotomy.  They were over him with
	a knife when he suddenly shot the fish
	eye out of his throat and right onto the
	ceiling.  Splat!  It just stuck up there
	and spread out.  It was about the size of
	a half dollar.  And that's why I don't ever
	eat fish eyes.

He plays the guitar for Josie.  Then stops.

		TRUMAN (continued)
	I'm not saying it's right or wrong, it's
	just the way I feel.  It's the custom
	thing I was thinking of.  In America we
	don't use any part of the fish but the
	meat just to the side of the insides.  We
	throw away the tail, the rest of the
	insides and the head.

		JOSIE
	I understand.

		TRUMAN
	We throw away the _whole_ head.

	WE got it back, that's all.

		DONNA
	How did I get in the house?  How did I
	get into my bed?

		LAURA
	I can't help you there.

		DONNA
	Was I wearing something of yours and
	you got mad at me?

		LAURA
	All my things have me in them.  I don't
	want you to be like me.

	But I love you, Laura.

	And I love you, too.  But don't wear my

Leland and Laura leave.

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.

	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.,
	you're going to burn your engine out.

		LELAND
	What the hell was all that?  Why doesn't
	someone do something about all of this.
	My god, that guy came out of nowhere.
	He was harassing my daughter.

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.

		ED
	I see it.

	Hell, it's on the inside, Pete.

	The inside is your territory.

Pete starts to clean the inside of his windshield while Ed returns to

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.

	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?

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

Bobby breaks.  They begin to laugh uncontrollably.

by biting her lip.  Bobby is furious and scared.  Laura covers her
mouth.  Bobby breaks again.

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

Laura screams with agony and tries to get off as they approach the

	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.

213.    CONTINUED:

		JACQUES
	We're on our way, Baby.

		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.

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?

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.

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.

Annie is being brought in on a stretcher.  A NURSE talks to a
PARAMEDIC as they rush her towards the emergency room.

233.    CONTINUED:

The Man From Another Place puts his hand in front of his lips and
makes an Indian Whooping sound.

		COOPER
	  (looking at the table)
	Where is the ring?

	  MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE
	Someone else has it now.

		COOPER
	That would indicate that it's the future.

	  MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE
	The later events have never been kept a
	secret.

		COOPER
	Where am I?  And how can I leave?

	  MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE
	You are here and there is no place to
	go...

A pause.

	  MAN FROM ANOTHER PLACE
		(shouts)
	BUT HOME!

The Man From Another Place begins to laugh uncontrollably.

234.        INT.  HOSPITAL ROOM - NIGHT

A NURSE mops the sweat from Annie's forehead.  Annie tries to get
thru to her.

		ANNIE
	My name is Annie.  I've been with Laura
	and Dale.  The good Dale is in the lodge
	and he can't leave.  Write it in your
	diary.

The nurse pats Annie's forehead and takes her hand.  We see
_TERESA/LAURA'S_RING_ on Annie's ring finger.  The nurse gently
slides the ring off Annie's finger.

235.        INT.  ANOTHER ROOM IN THE HOSPITAL

The nurse enters.  With an anticipatory smile, then a selfish laugh,
she puts the ring on her finger.

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

	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.
