Twin Peaks: “Pilot“ or “Northwest Passage“ (S01E01)

In February 1989 in Twin Peaks, Washington, the corpse of homecoming queen Laura Palmer is discovered. Soon after, Laura’s classmate Ronette Pulaski is found beaten and in a fugue state, prompting idiosyncratic FBI Agent Dale Cooper to travel to Twin Peaks to assist Sheriff Harry S. Truman in the investigation. Finding a piece of paper under Laura’s fingernail bearing the letter “R“, Cooper suspects a killer responsible for a similar murder one year earlier may have struck again. Discerning from Laura’s diary and her friend Donna Hayward that she was having an affair and was a cocaine addict, Cooper suspects more sinister goings-on than meet the eye. Deputies Andy Brennan and Tommy “Hawk“ Hill discover the crime scene: an abandoned railway car containing half a locket and “Fire walk with me“ written in blood. Donna realizes that James Hurley, Laura’s secret lover, has the other half of the locket and persuades him to bury it. Following an altercation at the Roadhouse, a local bar, Truman arrests James, Laura’s boyfriend Bobby Briggs, and Bobby’s friend Mike Nelson. Laura’s mother, Sarah Palmer, has a nightmare depicting an unseen figure unearthing the locket.
