![]() |
While returning from Yankton aboard a private plane, FBI Deputy Director Gordon Cole takes a call from Colonel Davis at the Pentagon and is ordered to meet Lieutenant Knox at the Police Department in Buckhorn, South Dakota. Mr C meets his associates Hutch and Chantal at a farm; he orders them to kill Warden Murphy, contacts Todd about killing Dougie and sends a coded text to an unknown recipient, before driving off in a truck. In Las Vegas, the Police question Bushnell about Dougie. Learning that there is no record of Dougie prior to 1997, the officers take Cooper’s fingerprints and DNA from a mug to analyse. Cooper reacts to seeing the American flag, a woman’s red shoes, and power sockets. The LVPD storm a motel and arrest Ike. Andy and Lucy buy a chair. Johnny Horne runs into a wall. Bobby visits his mother with Sheriff Truman and Deputy Chief Hawk to ask about Agent Cooper; her husband, Major Briggs, foretold their arrival, and hid a metal cylinder inside his chair for them. Gordon, Albert and Tammy visit the Morgue to review Brigg’s headless corpse and Dougie’s ring; meanwhile, Diane receives the text from Mr C. In the woods, Jerry Horne’s foot speaks to him. Bobby opens the metal tube: it contains a location, date, and Cooper's name printed twice. The FBI team question Principal Hastings about his blog on the supernatural; he reveals that he and Ruth visited Briggs in another dimension called ‘The Zone, where he had been hibernating for years. Hastings also witnessed ‘others’ murder Ruth, then behead Briggs as he was saying “Cooper, Cooper". At the ‘Great Northern Hotel’, Ben Horne and his assistant Beverly search for the hum. At the Roadhouse, a girl has a strange rash in her armpit.
