fade in:

2.ext. fbi office in portland

establish.

3.int. gordon cole's office

gordon cole talks on the speaker phone.

cole

get me agent chester desmond in

fargo, north dakota.

4.ext. highway, fargo, north dakota - day

a school bus. two very buxom prostitutes are being handcuffed by a

plain clothes special agent, chester desmond. another agent has his

gun to the spread eagled bus driver's head. the kids inside the bus

are screaming. the phone inside chester desmond's car starts to

ring. desmond walks to the car.

5.int. desmond's car - day

desmond picks up the ringing phone.

desmond

yes...

intercut with: cole

cole

chet, i am calling you from

portland... oregon.

desmond

ok, gordon.

cole

no, it's oregon, portland, oregon.

it's regional bureau chief cole. out

in portland oregon. i need you out

here, chet.

desmond

(little louder)

ok, gordon.

cole

oregon. a young girl has been

murdered. seventeen years old.

named teresa banks.

desmond

(very loud)

okay, gordon!!!

desmond electronically lowers the aerial adjusting the volume.

cole

got a map of the environs of the

yakima indian reservation with

your name on it. better bring a

pole.

desmond

smell something fishy, huh?

cole

i've got a surprise for you, chet.

something interesting that i would

like to show you. arrangements are

being made and i will meet you at

the portland, airport.

6.ext. small airport outside of portland - day

small government plane lands.

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

(flips to another page)

no one came to claim the body and no

known next of kin.

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.

(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.

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'.

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

hers. pretty girl. could've been her

sister.

desmond

what happened to her?

irene

there was only one job. teresa took the

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?

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.

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...

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

cooper inspects the car. coming around to the front of the car he

notices the windshield. on the windshield someone has written the

words, 'let's rock'.

38.ext. wind river, near deer meadow - afternoon

cooper stares into the stream.

cooper

(dictating into his recorder)

diane, it's 4:20 in the afternoon. 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'.

cooper

cooper looks at the calendar in the room and checks his watch. he

walks from the room.

to the surveillance room.

doesn't see him because he is staring intently into the camera as he

has done twice before.

on the screen jeffries walks past cooper.

cooper

(shouting)

gordon.

cooper runs into gordon's office.

52.int. gordon's office

as cooper gets to gordon's office, albert and cole are standing there

staring bug eyed at phillip jeffries.

cole

phillip!

albert stands up.

albert

phillip?

jeffries moves into the room. cooper steps into the office.

cooper

phillip?

cole

cooper, meet the long lost phillip

jeffries. you may have heard of him

at the academy.

jeffries stares at the threesome.

jeffries

i'm not going to talk about judy. keep

judy out of this.

cooper

but...

cole calms cooper.

cole

stand fast, coop.

jeffries

(pointing at cooper)

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

gone for damn near two years.

jeffries

it was a dream.

(takes albert by the arm)

we live inside a dream.

albert

and it's raining post toasties.

jeffries

(shouting)

no, no. i found something... in seattle

at judy's... and then, there they were...

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

(to himself)

the ring... ring...

cole

(hinting)

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?

(pounds on the intercom)

mayday...

hearing 'may', jeffries turns and stares at a _calendar_on_the_wall_.

move into jeffries.

jeffries

may? 1989?

closeup: jeffries

staring at the calendar. it is 1989.

back on the scene

cooper looks out of the room to see if anyone is coming to help cole

who is still trying to get the intercom to work. the static grows

even louder.

cole

what... am i alone?

cole turns back to jeffries. _but_there_is_no_one_there_. jeffries

is gone. papers from cole's desk are now sticking to jeffries chair.

cole

he's gone.

cooper

(coming back into the room)

what?

cole

albert, come back here. he's gone

call the front desk.

albert

(on the phone)

i've got the front desk right now. he

never was here. no record of him

entering the building... and the doctors

should be here any minute.

cole

(frustration building)

great. i, myself, am going to be

ready for them.

cooper

what's going on?

albert rushes back into the room.

cole

quickly men... word association,

coop. what are you thinking about

right now?

cooper

teresa banks.

cole

albert?

albert

tylenol.

cole

(to cooper)

why are you thinking about teresa

banks, coop?

cooper

it was a year ago today that teresa

banks was killed. i'm wondering if the

murderer will ever kill again.

cole

albert, why tylenol?

albert

no offense, sir, but after a day with you

it is mandatory.

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

(to bellhop)

hey... hey...

bellhop
