Piper plays Catherine Martell in Twin Peaks. Always a favorite.

After the establishing shots, we move to the tunnels. Vincent lights candles. Catherine arrives. She says it’s beautiful and perfect. Kanin carved new tunnels. He asked Cathy to bring lilacs which was a pain in winter.

The tunnel is a room for someone named Olivia. Kanin leads her in blindfolded. He’s carrying a baby almost toddler age.

Mary will watch the baby while Kanin and Olivia enjoy the new

room. Kanin also got her a music box. They dance.

Next scene is Kanin up above in a hardware store. A character (played by Piper) recognizes him. He pulls a Batman and she tries to follow.

He escapes down a sewer grate. She hasn’t given up … just stopped for now.

Kanin doesn’t want anyone in the tunnels to see him. Olivia finds him. He’s winded. She’s concerned. She came with his lunch.

Mouse and another person continue tunnel work.

Kanin has a memory of a car hitting a pedestrian.

At the DA’s office, Joe brings Cathy a huge pile of extra work. In the stack, she finds his picture a DWI homicide case.

She goes to Down Below looking for Kanin. Wind howls through the tunnels. She pulls Kanin aside for a conversation. She’s supposed to find and prosecute him. Kanin paces and says nothing for a while.

Then he asks if she believes in God. (There’s a reason but it’s convoluted.)

Down below usually doesn’t harbor real criminals. He hasn’t told them. Catherine wants him to come clean and give himself up.

He comes clean to Olivia who’s confused because now, 16 years later, he no longer drinks.

He fled arrest and got sanctuary Down Below a year after killing the kid.

Later, Catherine discusses the situation with Vincent, giving us more back story.

At the office, the mother of the murdered child wants to speak to Cathy.

Cathy is reluctant to talk to her. Ms. Davis is firm but reasonable. She wants to know how long it will take to find Kanin. Cathy says she doesn’t know. Davis wishes she hadn’t walked into the hardware store. She wants justice for Joey but she wants it to be over.

Later, Cathy looks at Joey’s photo. It’s a bad color print rather than a real photo. It’s kind of a weird gaffe.

Overlooking the city, Cathy walks through the issues with Vincent.

Vincent agrees that Kanin has to go back above.

Kanin argues with Vincent and Father that it’s unjust to send him up when he can’t say what he’s been up to for 16 years. He lives with the guilt and he thinks that’s enough.

Until Davis saw him, the world above thought he was dead.

Above, Joe finds Cathy in the lobby. He wants girl help. Davis comes up on them and wants an update. Cathy takes her to coffee. Davis’s mood has changed.

Piper is phenomenal. Davis struggles with the knowledge that her son’s killer walks free. Cathy promises Kanin Evan’s will be prosecuted.

Down Below, the community want an exception to the rule. Cathy comes in and advocates on the behalf of Davis. They say he has no friends topside. She says she is his friend. Mouse says “then let him go.”

Kanin listens to the music box alone. Vincent joins him. Kanin says he and Olivia are leaving.

Vincent says

“Don’t do this.”

Kanin: I’d walk into hell if it meant I didn’t have to face that woman.

Vincent tells him to face Davis. Kanin says she’ll never forgive him

Vincent: you’ve never given her that chance!

It seems Vincent got through to him. Olivia wants to go with him. He won’t let her.

Later, Cathy speaks to Davis at the DA’s office. Davis asks if she can talk to him. Cathy says yes. Davis doesn’t know what she’d say. She asks about what his

Story is. Cathy explains about the wife and child. Kanin comes in and Davis sees him. For a long while, they say nothing.

Kanin says he’s sorry. Cathy watches Davis. Kanin says it again. Tears flow down Davis’s face. She says she is too.

She walks to Kanin and looks him in the eye for a moment. Her hand is gloved. It looks like she wants to touch him. She walks away.

Vincent recites a line in the park as Cathy rests her head on his shoulder.

Cathy says they both seemed finally freed and tells Vincent to keep reading. The camera pans up from the city to the stars as Vincent continues. And credits!

I’ll do thoughts starting in about five minutes.
