SMALL AIRPORT OUTSIDE OF PORTLAND - DAY Small government plane lands. (more) (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 3. 6. CONTINUED: 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. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 4. 8. CONTINUED: 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? (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 5. 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 - INTERCUT WITH: 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 (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 6. 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. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 7. 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 (more) (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 8. 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. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 9. 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 (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 10. 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. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 11. 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. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 12. 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". (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 13. 17. CONTINUED: (3) On a piece of paper. CLOSEUP: DESMOND Pondering what he has seen. ON THE SCENE We move across to a clock on the wall that reads: 5:04. DISSOLVE TO: THE SAME CLOCK It now reads 3:33. Stanley zips up a regulation body bag around Teresa. DISSOLVE TO: 18. EXT. MORGUE - LATE NIGHT 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. 19. EXT. HAP'S DINER - LATE NIGHT Establish. 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". (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 14. 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. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 15. 20: CONTINUED: (2) 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 hers. Pretty girl. Could've been her sister. DESMOND What happened to her? IRENE There was only one job. Teresa took the (more) (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 16. 21. CONTINUED: IRENE (continued) job. Her friend took a hike. Never saw her again. 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 was murdered? DESMOND You have something to tell us? OLD GUY Yeah. DESMOND What? (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 17. 21. CONTINUED: (2) OLD GUY I can tell shit from shinolah. Gets me along way down that road. Desmond moves away from him. STANLEY You think we ought to question him? Desmond looks down at the coffee cup in Stanley's _left_hand_. DESMOND What time is it, Stanley? Stanley checks his watch pouring hot coffee on himself. STANLEY Oh... Desmond guides his laugh into a cough. STANLEY (looking at his watch while his legs burn) Agent Desmond, it's... DESMOND It's late, Sam. STANLEY (to himself as be dabs his pants with napkins) It's not late, it's early. Really early. 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. (after a beat) I just thought I ought to tell you. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 18. 21. CONTINUED: (3) 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 OH, GOD, WHAT... WHAT... (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 19. 23. CONTINUED: 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? (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 20. 23. CONTINUED: (2) 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. STANLEY (to himself) 5,600 dollars. 26. INT. TERESA'S TRAILER Desmond notices a picture hanging on the wall. Takes the picture down and looks at it thru his magnifying glass. (more) (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 21. 26. CONTINUED: 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". DISSOLVE TO: 27. INT. TERESA'S TRAILER - LATER Stanley is finishing up his work. Carl brings them their coffee. Desmond tastes the coffee under Sam's watchful eye. DESMOND You weren't kiddin'. This stuff's got the sting of the forty-eight hour blend. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 22. 27. CONTINUED: CARL That's right. That's the best coffee you're gonna get around here. STANLEY (watching Desmond drink) We really do need a good "wake me up", don't we, Agent Desmond? (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. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 23. 27. CONTINUED: (2) 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? (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 24. 28. CONTINUED: DESMOND He's not the murderer. (after a beat) But he's a bozo. STANLEY Yes, he is like a clown. Desmond walks around the car to the drivers' side and gets in. 29. EXT. SHERIFF'S STATION - MIDDAY The FBI MOBILE CRIME VAN sits outside as Desmond and Stanley pull up. 30. INT. WAITING ROOM, SHERIFF CABLE'S OFFICE - DAY 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. (to Cable) Sheriff Cable, where were you the night Teresa Banks was murdered? CABLE (flexing the muscles in his arm) My alibi is as strong as these bands of steel. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 25. 30. CONTINUED: 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 (more) (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 26. 31. CONTINUED: ducks. DESMOND (eyeing Cable's glass jaw) This one's comin' from J. Edgar. Desmond blasts him in the jaw and Cable goes over - lights out, all systems down. The no longer giggling secretary and Cliff stand and stare. Desmond looks at them. DESMOND Who's next? After a moment of unbearable humiliation they shuffle away. DISSOLVE TO: 32. EXT. SHERIFF'S STATION - AFTERNOON Stanley and the driver finish loading the body into the van. Desmond and Stanley talk. DESMOND Take the van back to Portland, Stanley. I'm going to take one more look at the trailer park. They walk towards the van until Stanley stops. 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? (extends his hand) I'm Sam Stanley. If you ever need me. DESMOND Thanks, Sam, for the good work. You have a good eye for detail. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 27. 32. CONTINUED: STANLEY We do notice things, don't we, Agent Desmond? Are you going back to the trailer park for the Blue rose? Desmond smiles at Stanley as they shake. DESMOND'S POV As he enters the van, Desmond can barely make out what Stanley says as he points to the driver. STANLEY (very muffled) 83,000 dollars. 33. EXT. THE TRAILER COURT - DAY Desmond is standing in front of Teresa's trailer with Carl Rodd. CARL (motioning behind and to the right of Teresa's trailer) And that's Deputy Cliff's trailer over there. The red one. CHET Right. CARL I'll be in my trailer if you need me. Carl walks away towards his trailer. Desmond walks over and around Cliff's red trailer. He gets a strange feeling. He looks past Teresa's trailer to the edge of the trailer park, where he sees a HAND appear in the window of a trailer. Then the hand disappears. Desmond walks to that trailer. He knocks on the door but no one answers. He looks under the trailer and sees a _mound_of_dirt_with_ _a_small_indentation_at_the_top_. In the indentation is _Teresa_ _Bank's_ring_. As he reaches out and touches it, _he_disappears_. 34. INT. GORDON COLE'S OFFICE, PHILADELPHIA - DAY Cole and ALBERT ROSENFIELD talk. COLE EVERY SYLLABLE OF EVERY WORD IS THE SOUND OF TWO HANDS CLAPPING. IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID, ALBERT? (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 28. 34. CONTINUED: ALBERT Six to eight hands clapping. I was referring to the possibility of a little silence. The phone rings and Cole answers it. 35. INT. PHILADELPHIA FBI OFFICES AGENT DALE COOPER, in the doorway across the hall, talks to DIANE in the next room. While he talks he does some isometrics against the door frame. COOPER I know you haven't changed your hair and I've seen that beautiful dress before, but I must say, Diane, you look sensational today. Diane says something else that we cannot hear. COOPER (enjoying this) No, I am not trying to buy time. It's Thursday and I know you have changed something in the room... and this time you've done very well... (stalling) And I am going to tell you exactly what it is... in a moment... you have moved... (snaps his fingers) Got it! It's the clock, you've moved it 12 inches to the left. (a laugh) Another triumph for the dashing Agent Cooper. And you, Diane, now have to clean the coffee cup, get fresh ground coffee from Sally and make a damn great pot of coffee. Cooper with a triumphant smile walks over to join Cole and Albert. But Cole's stern look takes his smile away. COOPER What is it, Gordon? COLE COOP, AGENT CHET DESMOND HAS DISAPPEARED. GONE LIKE THE WIND IN DEER MEADOW. ** August 8, 1991 29. 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. STANLEY (understanding) Oh, alright. (reflecting) You know, I liked Agent Desmond. He had his own M.O. Stanley turns to one of his work tables and shows Cooper the Whiteman machine. STANLEY I cracked the Whiteman case with this. COOPER (trying to stop him) Stanley, I heard all about it. STANLEY No one could've found those splinters without a machine like this and no one (more) (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 30. 36. CONTINUED: STANLEY (continued) has a machine like this. COOPER Tell me about the letter. STANLEY Take a look at this. Chet and I found it under Teresa Banks' ring fingernail. Cooper looks under the microscope to see the letter they found on Teresa. COOPER And no one found the ring? STANLEY No, sir, we did not. Cooper straightens up from the microscope. Stanley extends his hand. STANLEY 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 damn thing. Agent Chet Desmond come by a second time and asked too see Deputy Cliff Howard's trailer (gestures to the red 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. CARL (turning back) That's not the way to Cliff's trailer. I told you. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 31. 37. CONTINUED: COOPER I am not going to Cliff's trailer. 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. AT DESMOND'S CAR (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 32. 37. CONTINUED: (2) Cooper inspects the car.

I am standing here at Wind River where they found the body of Teresa Banks. Diane, this case has got a strange feeling for me. Not only has Agent Chester Desmond disappeared but this is one of Cole's Blue Rose cases. The clues that were found by Agent Desmond and Agent Stanley have lead to dead ends. The letter below the fingernail gives me the feeling that the killer will strike again. But like the song says, "...who knows where or when". 39. EXT. TWIN PEAKS - DAY Shot of the Twin Peaks Sign.

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. (CONTINUED) ** August 8, 1991 56. 85. CONTINUED: ALBERT Let's test it for the record.

COOPER (closing his eyes to see a mental picture) She is preparing a great abundance of food. Albert lets go a small laugh of disbelief and shakes his head in exasperation. 86. EXT.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 141. INT.

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.
