April 8, 2020 is the 30th anniversary of the launch of "Double Peaks". Just two days ago, I finally finished reading it, sorting out some characters and plots.
As derivative materials, "Shuangfeng: Mysterious History" and "Shuangfeng: Final Archive" give a lot of information, which completes Shuangfeng's worldview and supplements many details of the story in the series.
There are two forms of presentation in the story of "Double Peaks". One is Mark Frost's twin peaks, which has a very clear story line. The clues of the characters are complex and the combination of reality and reality are both true and illusion. The other is David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, which is unpredictable and mysterious.
The two cannot be separated. Without the foundation laid by Frost, Lynch's twin peaks have really become babbles. And without Lynch's curious vision, Twin Peaks would never become a phenomenon.
Exotic worldviews (Watch Gate, Night Watch Gate, Owl Ring, Giant, Bob, Mike, Arm, etc.) will not be mentioned. That is Lynch's mystery, there is no answer.
Doug Milford said to Garland Briggs, "A secret can only become a secret if it is kept. Once it is leaked, it loses all its power-whether it is good or bad, In fact, it will become a less valuable piece of information. The real mystery cannot be completely solved, it is always difficult to grasp, just like a beam of light on a street corner: you can see what lies beneath it, Can feel its temperature, but cannot really understand its core. This is its value: it cannot be conquered, it is a larger entity than you and me, than any known thing. Everyone They all have their own secrets, but these secrets add up and do not have any greater value. The game has been played to this level, man, between the mystery and the person, I will always stand on the side of the mystery. (Shuangfeng: Mystery history)
One thing is certain, these things in the different world, whether they are aliens, different dimensions or other, are beyond human cognition, and also beyond the concept of time and space.
Josie, played by Chen Chong, has nothing to do with the story of Season 3, so I won’t say much about the love and hatred between her and the Packard family in the stories of the first two seasons. However, the Packard family and a series of conspiracies derived from the Packard sawmill can also be regarded as a main line of the first two seasons of "Twin Peaks".
The eldest of the Packard family, Andrew Packard, Josie's husband, came back from the dead and died quickly. But he has to mention an anecdote in his early years.
In 1927, 16-year-old Andrew Packard participated in a camping trip and encountered a supernatural event. He saw a giant suddenly appear after lightning, and then suddenly disappear. Then he told the incident to Dwyane Milford, the then 21-year-old Scout captain.
Dwyane Milford later served as the mayor of Twin Peaks for a long time, and he was also the brother of Douglas Milford.
Douglas Milford is an extremely important figure in Frost’s "Twin Peaks" story, but in Lynch's "Twin Peaks", the old Doug Milford seems to be just An obsessive old skater.
To put it simply, Doug Milford also encountered a supernatural incident in Twin Peaks during his childhood, but because of this incident, the contradiction between Douglas and his brother Dwyane was completely intensified. Doug Milford asked the Boy Scouts to conduct a thorough investigation of the supernatural incident he encountered at a Boy Scouts meeting. Instead, he was expelled by the Boy Scouts for nonsense.
Douglas Milford then left Twin Peaks and joined the army. In a nutshell, in a nutshell, Doug Milford finally entered the core of the U.S. intelligence service, specializing in investigating UFOs and supernatural events, with outstanding merit.
After returning home, Douglas apparently retired honorably. In fact, he accepted the secret assignment of US President Nixon to continue to be responsible for detecting UFOs and supernatural events in Shuangfeng Town. Colonel Garland Briggs was trained by Douglas Milford.
Soon after Douglas Milford returned to Twin Peaks, he received a secret call from Nixon. On the phone, Nixon mentioned that Doug can trust a man in the FBI. Nixon did not say a name, but this man is Gordon Cole in all likelihood.
After Dale Cooper came to Twin Peaks, Garland Briggs realized that Cooper's mission was not just to investigate the cause of Laura's death, so he established contact with Cooper.
Cooper was trapped in the night watch to save Anne Blackburn. After the clone Cooper came out, he went to find Garland Briggs. After the two connected, Briggs found something was wrong, so he activated the emergency plan. He destroyed the monitoring equipment, faked his own death, and dived in the middle domain (or some other space). This leads to the story of Season 3.
Let's take a look at the others. Let's start with Inspector Harry Truman.
Harry Truman
Sheriff Harry Truman did not appear in the third season. Michael Unkien, who played him, did not return. In the story, Harry is already seriously ill and is receiving treatment in Seattle. The post of sheriff was handed over to his brother Frank Truman.
Frank will communicate with Harry on the phone and tell him the situation in Twin Peaks. But we only see Frank talking, and there is no voice on the other end of the phone.
In the previous story, Harry Truman was Cooper's friend and right-hand man, and Cooper worked with Cooper to investigate the murder of Laura Palmer. After Cooper disappeared, Harry has been investigating the mystery of his disappearance.
Harry is the leader of the Bookhouse Boys in the Shuangfeng Town Militia Organization. He also accepted Cooper as a member of the Boys in the Bookstore. The predecessor of The Book House Boy was the "Citizen Brigade" of Twin Peaks. During World War II, he guarded the northern border of the United States. Its leader was the father of Harry and Frank. He was also the sheriff of Shuangfeng Town at that time.
The members of the Bookstore Boys mentioned in "Mystery History" are: Harry Truman, Frank Truman, Dale Cooper, Hawke, Andy, Ed Hurley, James Hurley, Capi, Todd, Hank Jennings (later delisted), Andy and Lucy (she bought all the books in the bookstore).
The mystery history wrote, "For more than 50 years, the star-shaped badge of the Sheriff of Twin Peaks is still worn on the shoulders of Truman men."
Frank Truman intends to transfer the post of Sheriff to Deputy Sheriff Hawke after the end of the Sheriff’s term.
Deputy Sheriff Hawke
"Hawk" is actually a nickname, meaning Hawk. The nickname was taken by Frank Truman, and he was annoyed for a while. But with "Hawke", no one knew what his real name was afterwards.
Hawke’s real name is Tom Hill, a descendant of the Nez Perce, a native of America.
In the introduction to the mystery history, Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, sent an exploratory army headed by Meriwether Lewis to open up American territory. Lewis met the Nez Perce near the town of Twin Peaks. Curly, the leader of the Nez Perce, gave Lewis a ring (owl ring), but warned Lewis not to wear the ring.
Lewis learned about some mysterious powers in this area through the Nez Perce. In a private letter, Lewis told Jefferson of the information he had.
After returning from the expedition, Jefferson appointed Lewis the governor of Louisiana. Lewis was 33 years old and had a great future. Political circles generally believed that Jefferson intended to train Lewis to become the President of the United States.
But Lewis died young, only 35 years old at the time of his death, and the cause of his death is a mystery. It is said that Lewis had the evidence that James Wilkinson, later known as the traitorous general, had treason and collided with Spain, and was intercepted by the latter on the way to Washington to inform Jefferson.
It is alleged that Lewis was carrying a ring gifted by the Nez Perce, but the ring disappeared after his death.
Back to Hawke. Harry Truman praised Hawke as the best investigator. After the Laura case was closed, Cooper also told Hawke that if one day he disappears, he hopes Hawke can come to him.
In season 3, the wood lady Margaret Cowson also contacted Hawke, told her about her wood, and told Hawke.
Margaret Cowson
Ms. Mu Mu from Shuangfeng Town.
In 1947, the 7-year-old Cowson and two other boys suddenly disappeared during a nature trip. One day later, they suddenly appeared in the forest on the edge of Shuangfeng Town. Andrew Packard, who was the commander of the Boy Scouts at the time, spotted them and quickly led them down the mountain.
The other two boys, one named Alan Trahorn and the other named Karl Rhodes.
Carl Rod returned to Shuangfeng Town in his later years and lived in Luchang Town next to Shuangfeng Town. In 1988, Teresa Banks was killed there and attracted the attention of Gordon Cole. He sent special agents Chet Desmond and Sam Stanley to investigate. As a result, Desmond suddenly disappeared, and Stanley suffered a nervous breakdown when he returned.
One year after the Banks case, Laura Palmer was killed in Twin Peaks. Special Agent Dale Cooper went to investigate.
Chet Desmond mentioned the Blue Rose Project to Sam Stanley before disappearing. In a later deleted electronic document, there was a short list with the names on it:
Gordon Cole
Philip Jeffries
Chet Desmond
Sam Stanley
Wyndham Earle
Dale Cooper
Albert Rosenfeld
Ed Hurley
The owner of the Big Ed gas station and a member of the Boys in the Bookstore.
Ed Hurley is the uncle of James Hurley. James and Laura Palmer are underground lovers, Laura was killed, and James was once suspected of being the murderer.
Ed and Nadine Gertz are husband and wife, but he and Norma, the owner of the Double R restaurant, have been in love since high school, but Norma is Hank Jennings’s wife. Hank took advantage of Ed's enlistment to participate in the Vietnam War, and obtained Norma for the insidious trick.
Ed accidentally injured Nadine in a hunting, causing her to lose an eye, and since then cherished great guilt for Nadine. Although he loved Norma, he never chose to be with her.
In season 3, Nadine became obsessed with Dr. Lawrence Jacoby, and Ed, whose temples were already pale, finally plucked up the courage to propose to Norma.
Hank Jennings
Criminals, drug dealers, killers in Shuangfeng Town. There was no him in the third season, but there were many scenes in the stories of the first two seasons.
Hank Jennings is the son of Emile Jennings. In a story mentioned in the mystery history, Emil’s father, Aina Jennings, saw a UFO in Shuangfeng Town in 1947. This incident was published in the local newspaper by the reporter Robert Jacoby (Lawrence Jacoby's brother).
After learning of this, Colonel Douglas Milford, an intelligence analysis officer, threatened Ena and told him to shut up.
The Jennings family is notoriously unreliable in Twin Peaks. Aina is a drunkard, and Emil drank himself to death. Hank was stigmatized.
In high school, Hank Jennings was a star player on the Twin Peaks High School football team. At that time, he was also a member of the Book House Boys. In 1968, the Twin Peaks High School football team reached the state championship final, but in the last moments, Hank Jennings made a bizarre error that caused them to miss the championship.
Jean Reynolds, who later succeeded his father as the boss of the crime syndicate, boasted that he had placed a big bet on the rival Kettle Falls of Shuangfeng High School.
Two months after the final, Hank Jennings bought a new car. An angry Harry nearly beat Hank to death. He was also removed from the bookstore, and later, Hank became a member of the Renault family (Road House Bar has always been owned by the Renault family).
Hank Jennings was finally killed in prison by the Renault family. Before his death, he admitted to cheating in that football final.
The members of the Shuangfeng High School football team were:
Frank Truman
Harry Truman
Ed Hurley
Tommy Hill
Thad Baker
Hank Jennings
Jerry Horn
The student manager is Ben Horn, the top supporter is Pete Martell, and the cheerleader Norma Lindstrom.
Ben Horn
The patriarch of the Horn family, the owner of the Northern Hotel.
In most of the stories in the first two seasons, Ben Horn is not only a swinger, but also a bad guy. He owns the Northern Hotel, Horn Department Store, and one-eyed Jack. He started a pimping business and had many contacts with criminal groups in Shuangfeng Town. Laura Palmer's death is directly related to him.
In the local history of Twin Peaks written by Richard Jacoby, the Horn family, the Packard family, and the Martell family are listed as the three major families in Twin Peaks. Orwell Horn was the first in the family to reach Twin Peaks.
He came to Shuangfeng Town in 1905, opened the well-funded Horn Department Store, and built the town's first cinema and the first hotel (Northern Hotel).
There are many incidents that have made Ben Horne from bad to good, but the most important thing is that his daughter Audrey Horn nearly died because of him. Since then, Audrey and her father have basically severed contact.
In addition to Audrey, Ben Horne has a son, Johnny. Laura’s friend, Donald Hayward, is actually Ben’s daughter.
Ben Horn later sold the family-owned ghost forest land to a capital investment group, which built a private prison on the ground. The person in charge of this prison is Dwight Murphy in season 3.
The clone Cooper was detained in a prison run by Murphy as soon as he was caught. Later, Ray Monroe told the doppelganger before he died that Murphy and Philip Jeffries planned to kill the doppelganger.
Audrey Horn
Ben Horn's daughter, Laura's classmate. After learning about Laura's death, Audrey decided to find out the truth.
She admired Cooper, who came to Shuangfeng Town to investigate the case. For Cooper, she did not hesitate to sneak into One-eyed Jack, so she learned many ulterior secrets of her father Ben Horne and was disappointed in her father.
In order to prevent her father’s greed from further hurting Twin Peaks, Audrey plans to demonstrate at the entrance of the bank vault in the center of the town. Unexpectedly, he became a victim of an explosion. In the explosion, Andrew Packard, Pete Martel, and bank employee Delbert Miebler were killed. Audrey was injured and lost the memory of the incident.
Two months after being discharged from the hospital, Audrey found out that she was pregnant. She later gave birth to her son Richard Horn. After Audrey broke with her father, Richard did not allow Richard to meet Ben Horn. She raised Richard by herself and opened a beauty salon in Shuangfen Town. When Richard Horne was ten years old, Audrey married her accountant Charlie.
No one knows who Richard's father is, but there is a picture of Cooper on the wall of Audrey's office.
We now know that Richard's father is Cooper. Cooper, who was possessed by Bob, came out of the night watch and was examined in the hospital. He went to Audrey's ward before leaving the hospital.
Ray Monroe
On the surface, Ray works for the clone Cooper. His real identity is a secret FBI informant. Monroe has always believed that his boss is Philip Jeffries.
Monroe started working for the doppelganger from Las Vegas many years ago.
At the beginning of Season 3, the clone took Ray, because only Ray was able to obtain the coordinates of Colonel Garland Briggs. At the same time, the clone also wants to obtain Jeffries' whereabouts through Ray. Finally, Ray also told the clone, he knew that Jeffries was in a motel called Dutchman's Cottage.
Philip Jeffries
He and Gordon Cole formed the Blue Rose Special Team, which suddenly disappeared in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1986. Two years later, Jeffries suddenly appeared in Philadelphia, and then disappeared again.
When Jeffries appeared in the office of the FBI in Philadelphia, he saw Cooper. He said to Cooper, who do you think is this person standing there?
Agent Tammy Preston believes that the Dale Cooper that Jeffries saw at the time was not the real Cooper, but Cooper.
Sara Judith Novak Palmer
Laura Palmer's mother. Sara's father was an employee of the Department of Defense and participated in the Manhattan Project. The whole family moved from Washington to New Mexico.
In 1945, the United States conducted a nuclear explosion test at the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico and was successful. After that, the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
In 1956, a group of mysterious people attacked a radio station 15 miles outside the town where Sara lived. After the attack, the radio station stopped broadcasting and instead began to play a strange sound. Local residents reported that pets and poultry were commotion, and some people fainted after hearing the sound. After the sound stopped, these people regained consciousness, but did not have any memory of it.
Sara was also one of them. Her parents found Sara fainted in the room. The doctor found no problems during the examination in the hospital.
Sarah was the girl who got into her mouth by the mysterious creature in the 8th episode of Season 3.
A few years ago, the Roswell incident took place in New Mexico, and Roswell Air Force Base was only a few hours’ drive from where Sara’s family lived. It was there that Douglas Milford witnessed the Roswell incident with his own eyes, which changed the trajectory of his life.
Sara returned to Washington as an adult, where she met Leland Palmer, and the two became husband and wife.
We know that when Leland was a child, he was already possessed by Bob.
Before heading to Twin Peaks, Gordon Cole mentioned to Albert and Tammy that he, Jeffries, and Cooper had been investigating the evil force Judy.
He explained that Judy, from Sumerian mythology, a demon. Judy has a male form and a female form. The two forms are combined, so "marriage" will produce more dangerous and evil products.
Some branches in season 3.
After 25 years, Garland Briggs’ son Bobby Briggs has turned from a rebellious gangster to a police officer and mainstay of the Shuangfeng Town Police Department.
He married and divorced Shirley Johnson. Bobby still loves Shirley, but Shirley has a new boyfriend, who seems to be a copy of Shirley's ex-Frio, a drug dealer, Richard Horne on the line.
Bobby and Shirley have a daughter, Rebecca Macaulay Briggs. Rebecca is now married to a man named Stephen Burnett.
Burnett is a drug dealer in Twin Peaks. He cheated on Gersten Hayward, the sister of Donald Hayward. Burnett, Richard Horne and Chad Brocksford of the Twin Peaks Police Department are all suspected of being involved in a transnational drug dealing case.
Burnett attempted suicide, and Gersten Hayward disappeared.
Duncan Todd, the mysterious wealthy Las Vegas businessman who has always wanted to kill Doug Jones, is the subordinate of Cooper. The place where the mysterious glass box was placed in New York at the beginning of season 3 is also the clone of Cooper.
ending
After fighting in the office of Sheriff Truman, Cooper disappeared again, and Cooper's assistant, Diane, disappeared again.
When Agent Tammy Preston checked the Twin Peaks Post, he discovered that the narrative when recording Laura’s case had changed to: Agent Cooper came to Twin Peaks a few months ago and had not yet assisted in the investigation. The disappearance of the local teenage beauty queen Laura Palmer was detected.
1. The case was not solved; 2. Laura Palmer became a disappearance, not a murder.
The police in Shuangfeng Town did not find Laura's body since then, and the case has never been solved. The police officers' memories of the incident have become very vague, and the same is true in general.
On the night of Laura's disappearance, she should have gone with Ronat Pulaski to meet Leo Johnson and Jacques Renault. After that night, Laura was killed and Lorna was overly frightened. But then Laura didn't go with Rona, but went into the forest alone.
We know that under the prompt of Jeffries, Cooper entered this time and space, and he stopped Laura who was about to go to the appointment.
In the early morning of the second day, Pete Martel, the manager of the Parker Sawmill, should have found the bag containing Laura's body, but the bag disappeared.
History has been changed.
Laura went from being killed to missing. One year after her disappearance, her father Leland Palmer committed suicide.
Cooper prevented Laura from dying, but failed to prevent Laura from disappearing. Outside the curtain of the night watch gate (or the watch gate), Cooper saw Diane (Diane has also disappeared from the real world again).
Cooper and Diane went through some kind of crossing to Odessa, Texas. After one night, Diane left Cooper. She left Cooper a note saying that she was Linda and Cooper was Richard.
Cooper drove to a restaurant called Judy. There happened to be a waiter who didn't come to work there. Cooper hurried to the waiter's house.
Although it is in Odessa, the environment of the waiter’s neighborhood seems exactly the same as the trailer park where Karl Rhodes lives in Deer Farm Town. It was also where Teresa Banks was killed and Agent Chet Desmond disappeared. To a certain extent, it is also the starting point for Dell Cooper to enter the Blue Rose Project.
That waiter looks exactly like Laura 25 years later. But she denied that she was Laura Palmer, she said she was Carrie Page. Nor did she know Laura’s parents, Leland Palmer and Sarah Judith Novak Palmer.
Cooper insisted on taking Peggy to Laura's residence in Twin Peaks. In Peggy's room, Cooper saw a dead man, but did not respond.
Cooper took Peggy all the way from Texas to Twin Peaks, Washington. They passed the Double R restaurant and finally stopped outside Laura's house.
Cooper knocked on the door, but the person who opened the door was not anyone from the Palmer family, and she did not know the Palmer family at all. She said that her name was Alice Trimond and she had bought a house from a lady named Charfonte.
Cooper took Peggy away angrily. He seemed to think of something and asked Peggy how many years it was now. Peggy was taken aback. Suddenly, there was a "Laura" from the house, and Peggy screamed.
Laura Palma used to be a food delivery boy at Double R restaurant. One of the old women was called Trimond. There is a boy beside her.
Donna Hayward also ran into this strange Trimond when taking over from Laura. However, when Donner returned with Cooper, the Tremond was gone, but another woman she had not seen claimed to be Tremond. And she never added the old woman Donna described.
In "Twin Peaks: Walking with Fire", the old woman who claims to be Trimond/Chalfante and the boy next to her, like Bob and Mike, are supernatural beings.
Trimond/Chalfante also reminded Laura that Bob was searching her diary. She also gave Laura a picture and asked her to hang it in her room, but Laura saw herself in the painting.
Cooper and Peggy/Laura, in another space. Before that, Philip Jeffries told Cooper that you will find Judy there.
This is about Judy's field, Judy, and obviously not just that restaurant. Here is a collection of consciousness, memory and dreams. But there may be no time and space.
Gordon Cole said that he had a dream. In the dream, Monica Bellucci treated him, who was the dreamer?
In the night watch/shouday gate, the arm asked Cooper and said, this is a story about the little girl who lives on the side of the road, isn't it? Yes.
There is a huge crater in Odessa, Texas, called the Odessa crater, which was formed by an octahedral meteorite impact. When Philip Jeffries showed Judy to Cooper, he spouted an "8" pattern.
At the same time, Odessa is also Odyssey.
After the Trojan War, Odysseus drifted at sea and was unable to return home. He met the undead of his former comrades-in-arms, and he also knew the future from the blind prophet Theresias.
The real Diane was blind until he saw the real Cooper. Teresa, the original English name is Teresa, and Teresias is Tiresias.
Odysseus defeated Troy in ten years, and after another ten years of drifting at sea, he finally returned home.
But in real time and space, neither Cooper nor Laura appeared again.
Not long after Cooper really woke up, he asked Mike to be another clone of himself. When the evil clone Cooper was burned, the new clone Cooper was put into the world and reunited with Doggy Jones' family in Las Vegas.
After Cooper awoke, he knew that he would never come back.
