Didja Notice?
At 3:29 on the Blu-ray, the license plate on Mr. C's 1988
Chevrolet R-30 pick-up appears to be Idaho SW 51. SW 51 would seem to be a personalized plate, but what it means,
I'm unsure. Maybe a reference to Area 51, a
highly-restricted U.S. Air Force testing facility suspected
by some of harboring the remains of crashed UFOs.
At 10:16 on the Blu-ray, an empty bag of Crunch-eez snacks
is seen on the dashboard of Hutch and Chantal's van. A full
box of Crunch-eez packages is seen in the back of the van
and Chantal is seen eating from a bag as she and Hutch wait
for Dougie Jones to arrive at his house. Crunch-eez appears to be
a fictitious brand. The snacks appear to be similar to
Cheetos.
The FBI vehicles that arrive at Dougie's house at 11:15 on
the Blu-ray are 1999
Ford Crown
Victoria Police Interceptors.
At 15:52 on the Blu-ray, the coffee maker in the FBI hotel
room is a
Capresso, a high-end brand. An owl statuette is seen
next to it.

At 18:55 on the Blu-ray, two FBI agents pull up in a 2016
Ford Explorer with NV license plate 274 JID.
At 19:27 on the Blu-ray, the Mitchum
brothers pull into Dougie's driveway in a 2000
Lincoln
Town Car Stretch Limousine, probably the same one seen in
use by them in a couple previous episodes. The cargo van
that arrives with them is a 2003
Dodge
Sprinter, NV plate 458 IGR.
When the van's cargo doors are opened, we see it is
there to deliver the foodstuffs the Mitchums promised to
stock the house with earlier. Boxes of
Bai
soft drinks,
Honest
Tea,
Heinz, and
Nongshim
Bowl Noodles are seen among the boxes, but most of it is not
unloaded, perhaps intended for delivery to the Mitchums'
Silver Mustang casino for the food services there.
At 20:53 on the Blu-ray, the man described as "Polish
Accountant" in the end credits pulls up to Hutch and
Chantal's van in a 2001
Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse sedan with NV
plate 739 L8M. It has "Zawaski Accounting Inc." on the
doors. "Zawaski" is a Polish-sounding name, so it may be the
name of the man in question.
At 21:47 on the Blu-ray, we see that Hutch and Chantal's van
has Goodyear
tires on it. The accountant car has Mayrun MR 500 tires,
another real world brand.
Chantal fires a
Para-Ordnance P-18 pistol at the accountant; he responds
with a Glock
17 with extended magazine converted to full auto. When the
accountant wings Chantal, Hutch fires a
Remington 870 short-barreled shotgun at him.
From the license plate seen at 22:55 on the Blu-ray, Hutch
and Chantal's van is the same one Chantal pulled a medical
kit from in
Part 9:
"This is the Chair".
Cans of Whall Paint are seen in Hutch and Chantal's van.
This appears to be a fictitious brand.
When the gunfire breaks out in front of Dougie's house,
Rodney Mitchum comes out of the house holding a
Smith
& Wesson Model 627 pistol.
At 24:40 on the Blu-ray, Mullins hears a humming noise and
follows it out of Dougie-Cooper's hospital room. The noise
seems to be the same sound heard in the Great Northern
Hotel by Beverly and Ben in
Part 7:
"There's a Body All Right"
and
Part 9:
"This is the Chair" and which James heard in the basement of the Great Northern in
Part 14:
"We Are Like the Dreamer".
Mike gives Cooper the Owl Cave ring. At 27:00 on the
Blu-ray, notice that Cooper appears to hide it under the
pillow of his hospital bed. He must have retrieved it before he
left because he later places it on Mr. C's hand after BOB's
destruction in Part 17:
"The Past Dictates the Future".
The female doctor who clears Cooper to leave the hospital is
played by Bellina Logan, who also played Louie the Great
Northern receptionist in the original series (most
noticeably in
Episode 11:
"Laura's Secret Diary"). We never the
hear the doctor's name and she does not wear a name badge.
Is she Louie? It's possible the young Louie was studying
medicine while working at the hotel in Twin Peaks, though
it's rather coincidental that she just happens to be a
doctor in Las Vegas now and is assigned to Cooper's
recovery.
Before he leaves the hospital, Cooper borrows Mullins' 32
snub nose pistol. I've been unable to identify the
manufacturer.
Cooper asks the Mitchum brothers for a plane to
Spokane, WA. They gas up their private jet and make the
trip with him. Spokane would be a little over 100 miles
south of Twin Peaks.
Agent Headley arrives at the hospital looking for Cooper in
a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
When Diane sees the ":-) ALL" text
message from Mr. C, the time on her phone is 16:32 (4:32
p.m.), with the text received time showing as 16:31. She
sets her phone down in shock and fright for several seconds
and takes a sip of her drink, then picks up the phone again
to respond to the text, but now the phone's time suddenly
shows 16:45, with the text received time at 16:44. Is this
another time glitch?
We saw Mr. C send this message near the beginning of
the episode from a site near Twin Peaks late at night. So
why does Diane only receive it now?
Minutes later, when she is in the FBI hotel room
with Gordon, Albert, and Tammy, she looks at the message
again and the receive time is now 15:50, over an hour later!
Is time speeding up?
At 33:18 on the Blu-ray, we see that Diane carries a snub
nose revolver in her purse. We also see a pack of
Natural
American Spirit cigarettes in the purse; David Lynch is
known to smoke this brand. The purse has a Minart label on
it, a real world maker of purses.
Diane texts the number 48551420117163956 to Mr. C. Separated
into latitude/longitude, these are the coordinates for the
area near Twin Peaks.
As Diane leaves the bar to go to the FBI hotel room,
"American Woman" by Muddy Magnolias plays on the soundtrack.
This same version of the song played in
Part 1:
"My Log Has a Message for
You".
At 36:19 on the Blu-ray, Diane takes the pack of American
Spirit cigarettes out of her purse and sets them on the
stand next to her while she speaks to Gordon, Albert, and
Tammy. But when she reaches for the gun in her purse at
41:22, the pack is still in there. The shot is borrowed from
the earlier scene in the hotel bar.
When Diane describes how "Cooper" (really Mr. C) raped her
20 years ago, she says he kissed her and that's when she
knew something was wrong and he sensed her fear and, "He
smiled. A-and his face..." she trails off. What did she mean
about his face? Did his face take on the aspect of BOB?
Diane begins to stutter and say "I'm in the sheriff's
station," and "I'm not me." This seems to be a reference to
Naido, who is being held in protective custody at the Twin
Peaks Sheriff's Station and is seemingly revealed to be the
real Diane in Part 17:
"The Past Dictates the Future".
When Diane pulls her gun on Gordon, Albert and Tammy both
pull theirs and shoot her. Albert's is a
Colt MK
IV Series 70, while Tammy has a
Walther P99.
When Diane is shot by Albert and Tammy, she slams against
the wall, writhing, then vanishes into thin air. This seems
to prove to them that she was a tulpa. See the
explanation of tulpas given by Tammy in
Part 14:
"We Are Like the Dreamer".
As Cooper drops Janey-E and Sonny-Jim off at the Silver
Mustang for safety's sake, the slot machines Return of the
Sphinx, Wild Butterfly, Carnival in Rio, Wild North,
Brilliant Jewels, One Red Cent, Gypsy Fire, and China Shores
are seen.
At the Roadhouse, the MC introduces Edward Louis Severson to
the stage, who plays the song "Out of Sand". Edward Louis
Severson (III) is the real name of American
singer-songwriter Eddie Vedder, best known as the front man
of the band Pearl Jam. The song's lyrics seem indicative of
dream- and time-line themes of this season of Twin Peaks:
|
Can't climb to heaven on the cross
One liar's promise drained the blood from my heart
Came a message in the dark
Offered the hand of a disembodied man
While I still had the chance
Now it's gone, gone
And I am who I am
Who I was I will never be again
Running out of sand
I stare at my reflection to the bone
Blurred eyes look back at me
Full of blame and sympathy
So, so close
Right roads not taken, the future's forsaken
Dropped like a fossil or stone
Now it's gone, gone
And I am who I am
Who I was I will never come again
Running out of sand
A drunk octopus wants to fight
Fearful of dreams, there'll be no sleep tonight
Fine at dinner, dead by dessert
Victim or witness, we're gonna get hurt
A fragile existence with echoes of wrath
I can't stop the bleeding nor the tears from thine eye
There's another us around somewhere with much better lives
With God as our witness but he won’t testify
Oh now it's gone, gone
And I am who I am
Who I was I'll never have the chance
Running out of sand
Running out of sand
Running out of sand |
At 52:34 on the Blu-ray, Charlie appears to have ordered
martinis for himself and Audrey.
After Severson is done with his song and has left the stage,
the MC introduces a piece played by what seems to be the
house band. He calls the piece "Audrey's Dance" and seems to
gesture towards Audrey, sitting at the bar, as he does
so. The piece is the same one called "Audrey's Dance" by
Angelo Badalamenti found on the music soundtrack of Twin Peaks
season one and which Audrey dances to from a selection on
the jukebox at the RR Diner in
Episode 2:
"Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer".
As the announcement is made, Audrey seems
to come almost over some kind of hypnosis and, as the music
begins, she falls into a trance that makes her dance in a
manner similar to the dance she did at the RR way back in
Episode 2:
"Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer". In that
episode she also famously remarked on the music, "Isn't it
too dreamy?" This may be further indication that Audrey's
current storyline is itself a dream of a sort, as we also
see her suddenly come out of the situation at the Roadhouse,
finding herself in a white smock, looking in a mirror in a
white room. Is Audrey really in a mental health facility?
It is interesting to note that when Audrey finds
herself in the white room, an electrical noise/hum is heard.
Notice that right after the MC announces "Audrey's Dance",
the crowd on the dance floor begins to move to the sides,
before the music has even started, let alone before Audrey
gets up from her barstool and begins to dance. During the
dance, the onlooking crowd sways to the rhythm of the music.
At 54:13 on the Blu-ray, Popov vodka and
Seagram's 7 bottles
are seen behind the Roadhouse bar.
When Audrey suddenly finds herself out of the Roadhouse and
in a white room in front of a mirror, she exclaims, "What?!"
several times and is close to hyperventilating. When played
in reverse, it sounds as if she is saying "help!" several
times and then "Sam". Is it just a coincidence? If not, who
is Sam? Sam Colby appeared in
Part 1:
"My Log Has a Message for
You", but he was in New York and died
there and it seems unlikely he could have known Audrey.
Listen:
Audrey (forward)
Audrey (reverse)
As the end credits roll, the Roadhouse band plays "Audrey's
Dance" in reverse. At the end of the music a reverse voice
is heard. Played "forward" it sounds like Gordon Cole
saying, "Where's Coop?" Listen:
"Where's Coop?"
Unanswered Questions
Are Hutch and Chantal dead? We see them get blasted by
bullets in this episode, but don't actually see a
confirmation of death. In the "Don't Pick Up
Hitchhikers" behind-the-scenes short on the Blu-ray boxed
set, David Lynch remarks on the phone to Hutch actor Tim
Roth that Hutch and Chantal are killed.
Do tulpas always vanish back to the Lodge when they
are mortally wounded as the Diane tulpa does here?
If so, this would end speculation presented in earlier
studies here on PopApostle that possibly Laura Palmer and/or
her cousin Maddie Ferguson was a tulpa in the
original series.
