TWIN PEAKS, WASHINGTON
FEBRUARY 24, 1989
"Diane, 11:30 AM, February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks; five miles south of the Canadian border, twelve miles west of the state line. I've never seen so many trees in my life. As W. C. Fields would say, 'I'd rather be here than in Philadelphia.'"
FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper was a nifty, eccentric young man of 34, 6-feet tall, slick black hair, track runner's body. He wore a black, ironed suit, fitting the profile of the stereotypical G-man from the movies. In a way, that's how he had always seen himself as a kid, a picturesque knight in shining armor, steel plates reflecting off the silver screen like brilliant daylight. The reality was less than spectacular.
Just hours earlier, homecoming queen Laura Palmer was found dead and wrapped in a plastic bag.
This was his first case of the year, an entire year following the murder of Teresa Banks, a similar case in Deer Meadow, Oregon. If it weren't for the similarities between the two crime scenes, then Cooper would've never found himself in the hear-and-now.
Cooper was kind to the townsfolk and, for the most part, the townsfolk were kind to him. Newfound friendships, alliances, and loves were struck during his time in Twin Peaks.
In the time Cooper spent in-town, he had experienced both suspension and reinstatement from the Bureau.
On the night of March 27th, he entered the Black Lodge.
The morning of March 28th, Dale Cooper returned. But he was not Dale Cooper.
"How's Annie? How's Annie? How's Annie? How's Annie? How's Annie? How's Annie?"
