FADE IN:

1A. EXT. WOODS - DAY

MAJOR BRIGGS sits in an armchair in the middle of a fog forest clearing. It's an odd

image. As if it occurred inside his mind. Briggs' moods shifts with great alacrity, alternating

between inchoate rambling and coherence, as if someone had popped his mental cork.

BRIGGS

I ... I remember stepping from the flames, a vague shape

in the dark ... then nothing. Until I found myself standing

by the cold remains of our campfire. Two days later.

VOICES enter the Major's dreamscape. Dr. Hayward and Agent Cooper.

HAYWARD'S VOICE

Major, there are some new therapeutic techniques that

might help us to break through your amnesia.

BRIGGS

My memories are immune to regression. I can feel

them, they are palpable. The smell and sensations...

everything is known to me. Yet somehow beyond my

reach.

COOPER'S VOICE

Do you remember anything else?

BRIGGS

Very little. Save for one disturbing image. A giant

owl. Pervasive.

COOPER'S VOICE

A giant owl. How big?

SUDDENLY: a flash of blinding LIGHT, the image of a screeching OWL flying fast

and low, and a second FLASH leading us to...

CUT TO:

1. INT. SHERIFF'S CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY

Briggs seated in the same armchair inside the conference room. AGENT COOPER and

SHERIFF TRUMAN gather around him. DR. HAYWARD completes a physical exam, has

just snapped a poloroid of the Major's head - hence the second FLASH of light.

BRIGGS

(answering Cooper's query)

Enough to cloud my mind and memory.

(CONTINUED)

ACT ONE

#2.013.1 Revised 11-7-90, BLUE

1. CONTINUED:

HAYWARD

(receiving undeveloped print, reporting his

findings)

Three triangular scars behind his right ear. In perfect

proportion.

TRUMAN

(still the skeptic)

Major Briggs, exactly what kind of work do you do ?

BRIGGS

That information is, as I have repeated endlessly to

myself ... classified. Though the keeping of secrets

seems less meaningful to me now.

(his mind wanders)

Perhaps there are sources of information that transcend

the human need to conspire. Information of such weight

that it pertains not to the ...

(struggling, emotional)

My God, is this meant for the soul, my soul ...?

COOPER

(gentle prompting)

Maybe you should start at the beginning.

BRIGGS

(after a beat)

Are you familiar with Project Blue Book?

COOPER

The Air Force project dedicated to the investigation of

Unidentified Flying Objects.

BRIGGS

(pulling himself together)

Officially disbanded in 1969. But there are those of us

who continue in an unofficial capacity. Examining the

heavens as before. And, in the case of Twin Peaks, the

earth below.

(beat)

We are searching for a place called the White Lodge -

Cooper reacts, remembers Hawk's stories. But before he can answer... a knock at the door,

followed by the entrance of two stern UNIFORMED MP'S.

MP #1

Major Briggs?

(CONTINUED)

1. CONTINUED:(2)

#2.013.1 Revised 11-7-90, BLUE

BRIGGS

(almost relieved)

I've been expecting you.

Briggs rises to join them. The MP's mean to escort him to the door. Truman protests.

TRUMAN

Now wait just one minute...

MP #1

Colonel Reilly's orders.

BRIGGS (mediating)

I'm afraid we will have to continue this discussion at a

later date. Goodbye.

With that, the MP's lead Briggs from the room. Hayward looks at the poloroid, now

developed. He hands it to Agent Cooper. Three scars behind the Majors right ear in perfect

proportion . Just then: a drop of WATER falls from above, splatters upon the image From a

fire sprinkler overhead. Just like the one that heralded Bob's flight to freedom.

2. HARRY'S OFFICE - DAY

ERNIE NILES stares at the telephone on Truman's desk as if, it was his worst enemy.

DENISE BRYSON stands nearby, gestures toward it.

DENISE

Go ahead, Ernie. It won't bite.

ERNIE

(rising, and lying, to the occasion)

A lot you know. We're dealing with a murderous thug

here. Not that I haven't had plenty of dealings with his

kind before. Jean Renault is a hard man, but I've known

men who'd make him quiver -

Ernie .

DENISE

ERNIE

All right, all right, all right.

Ernie picks up the receiver. Just then: Cooper and Truman step into the room. Startled, Ernie

returns the receiver to its cradle with a resounding SLAM.

Sorry.

TRUMAN

(re unexpected entrance)

(CONTINUED)

2. CONTINUED:

#2.013.1 Revised 11-7-90, BLUE

COOPER

Setting the buy?

DENISE

Trying to. Ernie's a little gunshy.

(he reaches for the phone, then a sudden gear shift)

Please don't make me do this. This is suicide. I know.

I'm begging you, please . I don't want to. I'm begging.

Denise deadpans, gestures toward the telephone. A long beat. Ernie sighs, dials. Someone

answers. He pales a bit, pauses, then, meekly:

ERNIE

May I please speak to Jean Renault?

3. A STATION CORRIDOR - DAY

CUT TO:

Deputy ANDY BRENNEN enters a corridor, finds Tremayne waiting for him.

TREMAYNE

Andrew, where have you been ?

Cat in tree.

ANDY

TREMAYNE

A peace officer's work is never done. Lucky for us my

efforts bore more palatable fruit.

(proudly imparts a great secret)

I paid the Happy Helping Hand adoption agency a visit

where several blue-haired ladies were only too happy to

sup from my open palm. Unfortunately, all of Little

Nicky's records had been sealed and returned to the

Orphanage.

ANDY

We'll never know what really happened to Little Nicky's

parents.

TREMAYNE

Courage, Andrew. Do not despair. Next stop: that

selfsame Orphanage. And Little Nicky's records

within.

(CONTINUED)

ERNIE (insulted)

Gunshy? Ernie Niles is bold as bold can be. Let me at

him.
