			IT'S REGIONAL BUREAU CHIEF COLE.  OUT

	ANOTHER ANGLE

	Desmond exits the plane.

7.    INT.  SECURITY LOUNGE OF THE AIRPORT - SAME

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

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

	Desmond and Stanley shake.

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

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

				  DESMOND
			Congratulations.  I heard about that.

				   COLE
			      (plowing ahead)
			YOUR SURPRISE, CHET.  HER NAME IS LIL.

	LIL walks to them from another room.  She goes into a contorted dance.

8.    LIL'S DANCE

	Things we notice.

	--  She makes a sour face.

	--  She walks in place.

	--  She puts one hand in her pocket and makes a fist with the other.

	--  While she is doing this, she blinks with both eyes.

	--  She is wearing a red wig.

	At one point during this Cole adds a sentence.

				   COLE
			SHE'S MY MOTHER'S SISTER'S GIRL.

	Cole holds four fingers in front of his eyes.

				  DESMOND
			  (noticing the fingers)
			Federal?

	Cole gives him the thumbs up.

	Lil finishes her dance.

				   COLE
			GOOD LUCK, CHET.
			      (turns to Sam)
			SAM, YOU STICK WITH CHET, HE'S GOT
			HIS OWN M.O. MODUS OPERANDI.
			      (back to Chet)
			YOU CAN REACH ME AT THE
			PHILADELPHIA OFFICES.  I AM FLYING
			OUT TODAY

				  DESMOND
			Right, Gordon.  We'll be in touch.

9.    EXT.  HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO DEER MEADOW - DAY

	Desmond's car on the highway.

10.  INT.  DESMOND'S CAR - SAME

	As they barrel down the highway - 

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

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

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

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

				  DESMOND
			Sort of shorthand.

				  STANLEY
			    (missing the humor)
			Shorthand.  really?

10.     CONTINUED:

				  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.

11.     CONTINUED: (2)

				  STANLEY
			What did Gordon's tie mean?

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

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

				  DESMOND
			He talks loud.  And he loves his code.

				  STANLEY
			I see.  He does talk loud.

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

				  STANLEY
			It must be a high priority situation.

12.  EXT.  HIGHWAY - SAME

	Desmond's car drives off.

							DISSOLVE TO:

13.  EXT.  DEER MEADOW SHERIFF'S STATION - AFTERNOON

	Desmond and Stanley arrive.  The Sheriff's Station is in a sorry
	state outside...  They walk up to the old steps and enter.

14.  INT.  DEER MEADOW SHERIFF'S STATION, RECEPTION AREA - DAY

	Agent Desmond and Stanley walk into a very small reception area.  At
	the counter Desmond shows his badge to CLIFF HOWARD, the Deputy.

				  DESMOND
			Good afternoon, Federal Bureau of
			Investigation, Special Agent Chet
			Desmond.  I'd like to see Sheriff Cable.

	Cliff just smiles for a long minute.

				   CLIFF
			Why don't you folks have a seat.  Make
			yourself at home.  It's gonna be a while.

	Desmond stays standing and Stanley sits.  After another long moment,
	Cliff joins the SECRETARY in a conspiratorial giggle over the long
	wait they are planning to give the FBI.  In the middle of a giggle

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

15.     CONTINUED: (2)

	Desmond starts to leave.

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

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

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

	The caption reads:

			    "CABLE BENDS STEEL"

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

16.  EXT.  SHERIFF'S STATION - DAY

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

	AT THE MORGUE DOOR

	Stanley moves up to Desmond and speaks confidentially.

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

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

17.  INT.  TINY MORGUE - DAY

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

				  DESMOND
				 (reading)
			Teresa Banks lived at the Canyon
			Trailer Park for a month.  We'll check
			that.  And worked as a waitress at Hap's
			Truck Stop.  Worked the Night Shift.
			Good place for dinner when we're thru
			here, Sam.
			  (flips to another page)
			No one came to claim the body and no
			known next of kin.

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.

17.     CONTINUED: (2)

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

	Stanley picks up her left hand.

	INSERT: BANKS LEFT HAND

	In Stanley's hand.

	ON THE SCENE

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

				  DESMOND
			Oh.

	Stanley peers underneath the fingernail.

				  STANLEY
			A laceration.

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

				  DESMOND
			Accidental?

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

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

				  DESMOND
			What is it?

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

	Desmond comes around and takes a look.

	INSERT: THE LETTER "T".

	We move across to a clock on the wall that reads:  5:04.

	It now reads 3:33.  Stanley zips up a regulation body bag around

	Desmond and Stanley come out of the morgue.

				  STANLEY
			Geez, Agent Desmond, it's three-thirty
			in the morning.  Where are we going to
			sleep?

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

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

	Desmond takes a long look at Stanley.

			    STANLEY (continued)
			You've got your own M.O., don't you,
			Agent Desmond?

	Desmond gets in and starts the car.

20.  INT.  HAP'S DINER, MANAGER'S OFFICE - LATE NIGHT

	Desmond and Stanley talk with JACK, the manager who has black wavy
	hair with a black full mustache to match, shiny silk shirt with silver
	strands sown in and an Indian turquoise belt.  He has a sign on his
	shirt that says, "Say 'Goodbye' to JACK".

20.     CONTINUED:

	A GUY in the room is working on a light that keeps buzzing and
	shorting out.  He doesn't really know what he's doing so he is
	poking at the wiring.

				   JACK
			Had the FBI here once before.  Back in
			the fifties when Hap was running the
			place.

				  DESMOND
			Where's Hap?

				   JACK
			He's dead - good and dead.

				  DESMOND
			Sorry to hear it.

				   JACK
			He didn't suffer.

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

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

				  DESMOND
			Any friends?

				   JACK
			No.

				  DESMOND
			Ever see her with someone else?

				   JACK
			No.

				  DESMOND
			Did she ever mention any friends?

				   JACK
			No.
				(pointing)
			Ask Irene over there.

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

			     JACK (continued)
			Now, her name _is_ Irene and it _is_ night.
			Don't take it any further than that.
			There's nothin' good about it.

21.  INT.  HAP'S DINER - SAME

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

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

				  DESMOND
			How come Jack let's you work here?

				   IRENE
			Jack and I are united in holy matrimony.

				  DESMOND
			Say no more.

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

				  DESMOND
			   (showing credentials)
			Federal Bureau of Investigation, Special
			Agent Chet Desmond.  I'd like to ask you
			a few questions about Teresa Banks.
			Jack said you knew her.  How well?

				   IRENE
			She only worked here a month.  Nice
			girl.  Never seemed to get here on time
			though.  Ask me she had a little problem
			with --

	She makes a sniff to indicate a "cocaine problem".

			     IRENE (continued)
			Came looking for a job with a friend of

			What happened to her?

				  DESMOND
			Did you ever see Teresa take cocaine?

				   IRENE
			No.

				  DESMOND
			Do you take cocaine, Irene?

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

				  STANLEY
			Nicotine is a drug.  Caffeine is a drug.

				   IRENE
			Who's Shorty?  Those drugs are legal.

				  DESMOND
			He's with me.
			    (back on the track)
			Anything you would like to tell us about
			Teresa Banks that would help us out?

				   IRENE
			I've thought about that.  I think her
			death is what you would call a "freak
			accident".

				  DESMOND
			Thanks.

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

				  OLD GUY
			You talking about that little girl that

			Yeah.

			I can tell shit from shinolah.  Gets me

			You think we ought to question him?

				  DESMOND
			What time is it, Stanley?

	Stanley checks his watch pouring hot coffee on himself.

			Oh...

	Desmond guides his laugh into a cough.

			Agent Desmond, it's...

			It's late, Sam.

			It's not late, it's early.  Really early.

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

				  DESMOND
			What do you mean?

				   IRENE
			Her left arm.  It was numb.  She said she
			couldn't use it.  Said it had no feeling.
			Probably from the drugs she was taking.
			      (after a beat)
			I just thought I ought to tell you.

				  DESMOND
			Thanks.

	Stanley watches her leave.

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

				  DESMOND
			I think that's a good idea.

22.  EXT.  HAP'S DINER - NEAR DAWN

	As Desmond and Stanley head towards their car.

				  DESMOND
			I think we should see the sun rise at the
			Canyon Trailer Park.

				  STANLEY
			Are you speaking to me in a code?

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

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

	Irene walks past them and towards the parking lot.

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

				  STANLEY
			Thank god it is morning.

23.  EXT.  CANYON TRAILER COURT - DAWN

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

				   VOICE
			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

		    (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?

				  DESMOND
			Yes they do.  Did she have visitors?

			No, hey, I already told this whole damn

			Here's the trailer now.

	He swings open the door.

			     CARL (continued)
			And this is exactly the way she left it.  I

			   (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.

			I'll get my kit.

	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 ring, but we should do a blowup of
			this anyway.

				  STANLEY
			(squinting at the picture)
			May I see the magnifying glass, Agent

		       (takes a look, then looks at

			There doesn't seem to be enough detail

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

	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

			They're only doing their job.

				  DESMOND
			What are you doing here in the trailer

				   CLIFF
			Maybe I just live here, what do you

				  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

			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

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

			I couldn't help but notice that you had a

			You try that you little monkey.

			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

	stops him with a few well placed punches to his face.  Cable falls

			Right.

	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_

			I know you haven't changed your hair and

	All around the walls of Stanley's apartment are work benches with

	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.

			Agent Chet said he wanted to check the

			Which we did.  It was 105 miles.

			Did Gordon show you a woman named

			A trailer was here.  What the hell do you

			No...  No...

			Oh, yes...  yes...
	Laura starts towards him frightening Harold.
				  HAROLD
			What?  Please.
	She allows the feeling of Bob to come over her and she begins to
	scream.  Harold steps back, but Laura grabs him.  To his face with
	a horrifying expression on hers.

	She buries herself on his shoulder.

			You lied to me about those school books.

			 (suspicion and paranoia)
			What were you doing in my room?

			I was looking for that blue sweater that

				   LAURA
			I had to see Bobby.  I know you really

			Oh, honey, you don't have to lie to me.

	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

			learn to introduce yourself.  Sarah, you

	Leland repeats his phrase for Sarah's benefit.

				   SARAH
			Hyggelig a mote dem.  Jeg Heter Sarah

			Good.  We'll practice some more.  Laura,

			Wait a minute.  Leo says this is my

	Laura puts her hand between his legs.

			If you can fuck and drive the party

			You shift that one.  This one's mine.

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_

	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.

			A woman.

			Tell me some other things about her.

			She's in high school.  She's sexually

			You're describing half the high school

			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

	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

				   LAURA
			That's alright, Shelly.  I know you have

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

			Okay.  You can help me carry them to the

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
			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

			    (frantic whispers)
			He's looking for the book, he's going to

	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.

	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,

				   WOMAN
			Laura...
	A closer look reveals how upset Laura is.

			What...  Laura are you all right?

	Laura turns away so the woman can't see her crying.  The woman takes
	a couple of steps off the sidewalk onto the grass.
				   LAURA
		       (trying to hold it together)
			I...  lost my necklace...  it must have
			fallen.
	Laura mimes that she has found her gold half-heart necklace.  She

	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

	He is looking at THE FINGER.

			Leland...

			Laura didn't wash her hands before

			And look at this.
	He reaches for it.  Laura's hand flies up and stops him.  Leland's
	other hand comes up and she lets him take the HALF HEART out.
				  LELAND
			Oh, is this from a lover?
	Laura has no response.
			    LELAND (continued)
			Did you get this from your lover?

	We hold on the picture.  As if by magic, we suddenly begin to move
	into the picture - into the room in the picture and thru the dark
	doorway in the room in the picture.
	On the other side of the dark doorway there is another room.
	Mrs. Tremond is standing in that room.  She is beckoning us towards
	her and beyond her thru yet another doorway.  We move thru the second
	doorway and on the other side of that doorway there is another room.
	Mrs. Tremond's grandson is standing in that room.  He is holding his
	hands above him as if he is grasping an imaginary glass ball.  As we
	move towards the space between his hands a ring of fire appears there
	and we move thru that into...

	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.

			Don't take the ring...  Laura, don't take

	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

	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

	(herself) in the doorway looking back into the darkened rooms where
	Mrs. Tremond and her grandson were.

	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.

	As the cowboys gather around and begin to chant, both Laura and Donna

	DONNA
	A completely stoned Donna is being dances around by Tommy, who is
	falling in love with her.  Through some dancing legs and feet she
	spots Laura's blouse on the floor.  Teetering she leans over, picks
	up the blouse, and ties it around her waist.
	RONETTE PULASKI
	RONETTE PULASKI, flying high, makes her way through the crowd to
	Laura.  They spot each other and give each other a hug.
				  RONETTE
			You smell nice.
				   LAURA
			Haven't seen you since I was thrown out
			of One Eyed Jacks.
				  RONETTE
			(trying to focus on Laura)
			What else did we do together?  Oh, I
			remember...
			(tries to dance with Laura)
			Hey, you know what?  It's been a year.
			She's been dead a year...  she's been dead
			a year.
	Jacques comes up to them.
				  JACQUES
			The party twins.  My high school
			sandwich.  Let's put some meat inside...
	The three of them move around together.
				  RONETTE
			She's been dead a year.

			What?  She asked about my father?
				  JACQUES
			But it wasn't him...  she was after a huge

	Buck and another FRIEND move in on Laura and Ronette.  Buck pushes
	Laura down on the carpet and gets on behind her.  His friend does
	the same to Ronette.  The two girls find themselves face to face.
				  RONETTE
			Here we go again.  Like we're back at

			  (moaning with pleasure)
			Oh, god.  It sure is.
	Ronette looks over Laura's shoulder.
				  RONETTE
			Shit, is that Donna Hayward?

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

			Josie, I think we should go public.

			That would be wonderful, but it's only

			What are you afraid of?  What people

				   JOSIE
			I don't want to offend the customs of

			Believe me, Josie, you would not offend

				   JOSIE
			Fish eyes?
				  TRUMAN
			Even if it offended someone, I wouldn't

				   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

			And he couldn't swallow and they rushed

			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

			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

			don't use any part of the fish but the

			I understand.

	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

	Leland turns and gives her a look.
	The car that was tailing them races around them, races around the

			Miss, the look on her face when it was

			The thread will be torn, Mr. Palmer, the

	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

			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

	A YOUNG MECHANIC runs up to their car.

			Mr., Mr., you shouldn't do that to your

	Bobby sees that she is not in the mood.
				   BOBBY
			You don't want me.  You just want the

	Laura stares at him.
			     BOBBY (continued)
			It's okay.
	He reaches in his pocket and gives her a nice bag of coke plus pills.

			Bobby's got it.

	Mr. Briggs is reading aloud to Mrs. Briggs from the book of
	Revelations.  As Bobby hears this he turns to Laura and makes a look
	of horror which says, "Can you believe I live here".  Laura smiles.
	Bobby takes Laura to the door.  He gives her a small kiss, "Good
	Night".  After she leaves he cuts back thru the living room and just
	as he clears the room he lights up.

	Truman hits the intercom button.
				  TRUMAN
			Yes, Lucy?
				   LUCY
			      (over intercom)
			Mrs. Packard called and said she heard
			what she thinks could be a prowler
			outside her house.
				  TRUMAN
			Okay, Lucy.  I better get on up there.
	He releases the intercom button.  But Lucy continues to talk over the
	intercom.
			       LUCY'S VOICE
			It's probably raccoons which is what it
			was last week...
				  TRUMAN
				 (to Andy)
			You stay here and monitor the radio.  Let

			Okay, Sheriff Truman.
			       LUCY'S VOICE
			Raccoons remind me of my aunt who

	Truman stands up, puts on his gun and leaves.  Lucy's voice continues
	as we watch Andy sit there alone.
			 LUCY'S VOICE (continued)
			She couldn't get rid of her raccoons
			because she made the big mistake of
			feeding them albacore tuna.  I don't
			know why she fed them albacore tuna.
			And albacore tuna is so expensive.
			 (voice raising an octave)
			Sheriff Truman how did you get up
			here?
	Over the intercom Andy hears Lucy make a small hysterical cry.  He
	stands and runs from the room.  Stay on the intercom.  Lucy's voice
	continues.

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

			Fifteen minutes...  god, why did I say

	LELAND
	Leland comes out of the car.  Laura ducks into some bushes and hides.
	Leland stops in the middle of the yard sensing something.  He looks
	right at where Laura is hiding.  She can't tell if he can see her or
	not.
	CLOSEUP: LAURA
	She hears James' bike coming in the distance.
				   LAURA
			 (frantically to herself)
			Go inside...  go inside...
	James' bike sounds closer and closer.  Leland turns, opens the front
	door and goes into the house.
	James drives up.  Leland's face appears looking out the front window.
	Laura jumps on the bike behind James and off they go.

			What the hell is wrong with you?
				   LAURA
			That's right.  There's no place left to go

				   JAMES
			What do you mean?
				   LAURA
			You know it and I know it.
				   JAMES
			What is wrong with us?...  We have

				   LAURA
			Everything, but everything.
				   JAMES
			Oh, Laura.
				   LAURA
			      (mimicking him)
			"Oh, Laura..."
	She gives him a terrible slap.
				   JAMES
				 (ironic)
			You always hurt the ones you love.

	They kiss again.  Hot.  Hands everywhere.

			Shit, maybe he'll kill you.
				   JAMES
			What?
				   LAURA
			When he finds out.
				   JAMES
			What?
				   LAURA
			Bobby killed a guy.
				   JAMES
			What are you talking about?  Bobby

				   LAURA
			You want to see...
				   JAMES
			See what?
				   LAURA
				(disgusted)
			Right.  Open your eyes, James.  You don't

			Your Laura disappeared...  It's just me
			now.
	James grabs her trying to control her.  She twists out of his arms.
			     LAURA (continued)
			How 'bout this, James?
	She lifts her hand and gives him the finger.  James ignores the
	finger and kisses her, but she's gone ice cold.
			     LAURA (continued)
			I think you want to take me home now,
			James.
	She leads him back to the bike.  He won't start it.
			     LAURA (continued)
			Oh, quit crying.  I've had enough of your
			fucking caring.

	starts to cry.

	Looking up at the trees as they fly by in a dark blur.
	LAURA AND JAMES
				   LAURA
			The trees...  the trees...
	Laura screams with agony and tries to get off as they approach the
	light.  Laura falls off as they skid to a stop.
				   JAMES
			 (confused and terrified)
			Laura...
	Laura crawls back up and puts her hands around James' neck.
				   LAURA
			(from far away she screams)
			JAMES, I LOVE YOU.
	For a moment she focuses on him.  She looks like the Laura that James
	loves.  Innocent and Beautiful.
	Laura turns and sees the woods.  It pulls her.  She releases her hold
	on James and runs into the waiting darkness.
	The red light swings in the wind above James.  It turns green, but he
	doesn't move.  When the light turns red again, James guns the engine
	and lifts the bike up on its back tire.  James screams then roars down
	the road away from us.
	Off to the side of the road lies Doc Hayward's wilted red rose.

	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

				    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.

	When Jacques comes out of the cabin, Leland trips him, grabs the

	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

	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 -
