The movie I saw in Japan (May 16th) was a two hours and ten minutes cut. Manuel@Japan pece@taurus.cse.kyutech.ac.jp =="Fire Walk With Me, Teresa Banks and the Last Seven Days of Laura Palmer"== ** SPOILERS **** SPOILERS **** SPOILERS **** SPOILERS **** SPOILERS ** PART I ( 30 minutes ) TERESA BANKS February 1988 Opening scene: Teresa Banks' body wrapped in plastic floating through Hells Canyon, drifting along in Wind River. Then it jumps to Gordon Cole at his office. He is talking on the phone to FBI agent Chester Desmond, who is in the middle of an arrest (something weird with a school bus and children crying). Gordon tells Desmond to meet him at the Portland private airport. Desmond arrives and meets the other agent that will work on the case, Sam Stanley. Here is a really cool scene involving communication between the agents using a code ( that is a girl dressed in red, "dancing"). Stanley and Desmond go to investigate Banks' murder. Here they have trouble with the local lawmen : sheriff Cable and deputy Cliff Howard. [ which was probably what prompted Cooper to have his talk with Truman in the first episode about who is really in charge when the bureau is called in] At 4:30 p.m. they start Bank's autopsy. Stanley found the "T" under the fingernail. Teresa's ring is missing. They finish the autopsy at 3:30 a.m. and then go to eat to Hap's dinners. Banks worked there for a month. They asked some questions to the waitress. [ In some way, Deer Meadow is an "Inverted-TP" or "Black-TP : the peolpe at the sheriff's office are nasty, Desmond's methods are not like Cooper's, Hap's and its fat waitress Irene are the opposite to the RR ] Irene to FBI agents: " You want to hear about our specials? (pause) We don't have any." Following day they go to the "Fat Trout", the trailer park were Teresa lived. They see a strange woman. Stanley takes the corpse back to Portland. Desmond goes back to the Fat Trout and finds a mound of dirt under a trailer. The ring is on the mound. He takes it. It is 16 February, 10:10 a.m. Here we switch to Cooper. He has come to see Gordon at the FBI offices in Philadelphia. He has had a dream. He does a really funny thing with the security TV camera [ wait to see the movie ] It gets really weird. There is an agent named Phillip Jeffries(David Bowie). He cames in. Gordon(?) says that he has been missing for two years. Jeffries says "We are not gonna talk about Judy" and " I've been to one of their meetings ". We see a dream-like scene at a convenience store. Everyone is there: 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. There is some corn, too. One Big Woodsman with full beards sits quietly. We have more of the strange talking but they don't talk backwards all the time. Bob : "We live inside a dream ". The scene ends, and Jeffries is vanished again . [and that's all the Bowie you will see]. Albert: "Desmond has disappeared." Cooper is brought in. He goes to Deer Meadow. There was an old woman and her grandson living in the Fat Trout some time ago. On the front window of Desmond's car someone has written, in red, "Let's rock". Cooper: "Diane, I think he will kill again". PART II ( more than 90 minutes ) THE LAST SEVEN DAYS OF LAURA PALMER One year later. Cooper was right. Laura did have a bad habit. It turns out that that habit was very very bad. In every scene she takes a line or two of cocaine and any pills she can get her hands on. 17 Feb (Friday) [DAY 1] Morning: Donna and Laura walk to the school. Bobby loves Laura, Laura sees James behind Bobby's back, and Mike is going out with Donna. At Donna's, Donna and Laura talk about boys and other things. Laura: "And the angels wouldn't help you because they are all gone away" Laura goes home and finds pages missing from her secret diary. She panicks and goes to see Harold Smith. She tells him she thinks Bob took the pages and that Bob has been having he since she was 12. Laura says Bob wants to be [inside] her or he will kill her. [ At the FBI office, Cooper and Albert talk about the next victim ] 18 Feb (Saturday) [DAY 2] Shelley helps Laura with Meals on Wheels. Mrs. Tremond and her grandson give Laura a picture. It is a view of Laura's bedroom door from outside the bedroom . She goes home and finds Bob looking for her diary in her room. She runs outside. Minutes later Leland comes out of the house. Laura: "Oh, God. No. Not him!" She goes to Donna's, crying. At dinner Leland tells Laura that her hands are filthy. "There is dirt under this fingernail. Go and wash your hands". 10:35 p.m. Mrs Palmer, smoking, and Leland in their room. Leland cries, goes to say Laura that he loves her. That night, the picture given to Laura as a present from Mrs. Tremond magically reveals the Red Room. On a table, is Teresa's ring, which has symbols identical to those of Owl Cave . Cooper tells Laura not to take the ring. TMFAP says to Cooper " Do you know who I am?..I am The Arm.. And I sound like this..." He makes an Indian whooping noise . We come out of the picture and see Laura in bed. She wakes and looks next to her. She discovers Annie Blackburn lying in bed with her. She has blood around her mouth and she says, "My name is Annie. I've been with Laura and Dale. The good Dale is in the lodge and he can't leave. Write it in your diary." Annie disappears and the ring is in Laura's hand. She opens the door to go out, and sees herself in the picture. [ but this happens to be a dream, too] 19 Feb (Sunday) [DAY 3] Laura wakes up. Opens her hand. No ring. Leo abuses Shelly. Bobby phones him about a drug deal. Leo doesn't want to deal with Bobby because he hasn't paid him $50,000, so Bobby phones Jacques Renault. Nigth: Laura goes to the Bang Bang and meets the Log Lady outside. Laura cries listenig to the song at BangBang. Donna has followed her. They hitch up with two truckers and go to a sort of Disco-bar cross the border. They see Ronette Pulaski. Quite an "intense" scene. Ronette and Laura talk about Teresa Banks.

Ronette prays, and sees and angel in the train car . Ronette opens the door a little, but then she is hit and flies over Gerard and knocked unconscious. Gerard listens to the sounds of murder inside the car. Laura screams. Knife enters flesh. Bob screams. Bloody knife goes through the air. Leland screams. Leland/Bob lowers the plastic shrouded Laura into the river. Leland stumbles into Glastonbury Grove. He enters the Red Room. Gerard and MFAP sit facing him. Leland stops and divides.
