The Return opens with a conversation between the now twenty-five-year older Cooper and a tall gaunt man very similar to the “Giant” from the Red Room. They are in a room that appears to be furnished from the early twentieth century and the scene is filmed in black and white. In the distorted vocals requiring subtitles that are characteristic of the disincarnate beings of Twin Peaks the Giant says, “Agent Cooper listen…to the sounds.” They both look at an old gramophone emitting a clicking noise then back at each other and the Giant continues; “It is in…our house now.” Cooper looks at him, saying in clear English “it is.” The Giant answers “it cannot…be said aloud now.

The swastika has been replaced by 2 gauges that at a distance could be mistaken for the traditional swastika of artist’s renditions. The banging inside continues and the girl with no eyes throws a lever on die Glocke. She is jolted with electricity and hurled off into space. Cooper remains atop the cube and the giant transparent head of Major Briggs drifts by in space saying “Blue Rose.” Cooper goes back down the ladder. The light and the room are […]
