Wherein I analyze the course of Mr. C’s coordinate hunt, the other players (Jeffries’ impostor, Ray, etc.) involved in the hunt and why he needs (wants) the blasted things at all.



Now, to sidetrack briefly, a recap of Mr. C’s path prior to seeking coordinates:



He sought out the comatose Audrey Horne and impregnated her with Richard Horne. He met with Major Briggs who soon recognized something was wrong with “Cooper”. Mr. C attacked and Briggs was decapitated in this assault. He then fled Twin Peaks. Three or four years later, he visited Diane Evans to gain information on the FBI’s activities and proceeded to rape and imprison Diane, manufacturing a tulpa of the woman to infiltrate the FBI by way of her relationship with Gordon Cole and Albert Rosenfield. Eventually, he built a drug empire and other criminal ventures that would ultimately fund the infamous ‘glass box’ experiment (which was a trap for JUDY) and keep multiple employees and assassins on payroll.



At some unknown point, his interest turned toward coordinates to an unspecified place. The identity, nature and intended purpose of this place will be resolved by the end of this - but first, he’s got to obtain the coordinates, right?



He’s got some help with that. His little gang of Ray, Darya, Jack…Ray’s the guy he set to this task though. Get the information. Ray’s got a contact who’ll give it, a secretary of one William Hastings, but she won’t give it to just anybody. Only Ray. Mr. C finds that suspicious…But he wants that information.



Some time after this meeting, Mr. C kills Jack for wiring his car. He then proceeds to Darya’s hotel room where, learning of her part in a conspiracy to kill him, he repeatedly attacks her and ultimately ends her as well.



Before she dies, she is shown a playing card featuring a strange symbol. Mr. C claims that this - the symbol, or what it represents - is what he wants.



Following Darya’s end, he calls a person(?) whom he believes to be Jeffries. Mr. C confirms that he is still in Buckhorn and asks if this person is still “nowhere”. This person claims to have ‘missed’ him in New York, has knowledge of a meeting he took with Major Briggs and insists that he’ll be ‘going back in tomorrow’ and “I’ll be with BOB again”. The first line may suggest the Experiment. The last, however, casts doubt. The Experiment was never ‘with’ BOB. I believe the voice to be MIKE. It doesn’t sound like Philip Gerard, true, but then MIKE is not Philip Gerard any more than BOB was Leland. MIKE wants to be with BOB again. MIKE likely holds some sway with the Woodsmen and so could have gained knowledge regarding Briggs. MIKE also has innate ties to JUDY hence referencing himself ‘in New York’ despite it was not truly him.



After the call with “Jeffries”, Mr. C obtains and downloads the floor plans of Yankton Prison which currently houses Darya’s partner-in-conspiracy Ray Monroe. Of course, neither Darya nor Mr. C realized that Ray was an informant but his conspiracy is reason enough to eliminate him.



While driving along a road, Mr. C is hit by a wave of disorientation. The Black Lodge seeks to reclaim him. He swerves, his vision blurs…Ultimately, Dougie is pulled back in his place and he gets away with only being damaged, spewing up garmonbozia and ‘oil’.

Having been found and arrested for contraband in his car, Mr. C is met by Gordon and Albert in prison. He mentions working with Jeffries and his words seems particularly troubling to Albert, who we learn was partly responsible for getting a man killed by Mr. C. I take the man to have been an FBI fellow gone (covertly) rogue as a drug lord, whose murder Mr. C orchestrated (using Jeffries and Albert both as pawns) to fill the power void and establish himself.



Next seen, Mr. C uses his ‘one phone call’ to dial an unknown series of numbers which sets the prison’s electronic systems haywire. A phrase, “the cow jumped over the moon”, terminates this chaotic activity. The phrase is cryptic but I would argue roughly symbolic in form. JUDY is associated to the moon - the symbol appears above a drawn moon on Briggs’ note to Bobby - and BOB is associated to JUDY thus by extension to the moon. Cow…Lower life, meat, food. Garmonbozia. Humans. “The cow jumped over the moon.”

‘Humans’ jumped over ‘BOB’. Jumped over as in Checkers – bested. It’s essentially a taunt. ‘You thought you had me…’



Scoring himself an audience with the blackmailed or threatened prison warden, Mr. C secures transport and supplies for himself and one Ray Monroe. Soon after this, the warden will be killed on Mr. C’s orders.



Later, driving to a secluded area with Ray, Mr. C attempts to kill his treacherous underling only to find his gun empty. He is shot ‘dead’ by Ray…But he hardly stays dead, and Ray doesn’t finish the job.

Woodsmen creep from the woods, terrifying Ray who flees. BOB is briefly exposed but ultimately stays put. Mr. C is successfully revived. The allegiance of the Woodsmen is a question – but I believe them to be the purest agents of negativity. They serve negativity for negativity’s sake. They are what Windom called the dugpas, though he (and by extension the legends he cited) got the details (evil sorcerers, etc.) incorrect. BOB is a powerful negative entity and so it is their instinct to aid him. They serve no one figure but one idea, regardless of whose precise service that requires.

Later, Diane’s tulpa receives a message from Mister C. The ‘dinner table’ is the formica table from above the CONVENIENCE STORE. The table at which they divide garmonbozia, their dinner. The ‘conversation’ is presumably the other Lodge spirits blathering about his antics. ‘I’m sure those fuckers are watching, on my tail…Be careful.’

Adjacent to Mr. C’s dealings, Tamara Preston and gang interview framed-for-murder Bill Hastings in prison. He says he met the Major in another dimension but that they were attacked by ‘others’ demanding the name of his wife.

Mr. C tracks his would-be assassin down to learn that he was hired by Phillip Jeffries. As we learn, this was an impostor and probably MIKE just as before. We also learn that Jeffries is at a place called the Dutchman’s. Mr. C obtains a set of coordinates - coaxed from Hastings’ secretary - from Ray then kills him.

Mr. C pays Jeffries, the real one, a visit. They discuss 1989, old talks, Ray and JUDY. Finally, Jeffries gives up a set of coordinates which he suggests will lead to JUDY. Mr. C departs and takes Richard Horne captive.

Back with the FBI, we see the coordinates discovered on the arm of Ruth Davenport’s corpse. Coordinates which she wrote down after receiving them from Major Briggs in ‘the Zone’. Diane’s tulpa inputs these coordinates to find they lead to Twin Peaks.

Back with Mr. C and Richard, they’ve come upon a field bearing a singular large outcropping of rock. Mr. C tells that he is looking for a place and has been given three sets of coordinates to that place. Two sets match. Richard concurs that they should investigate the matching pair and so Mr. C sends him to do so. At the peak of the rocks, Richard is electrified into oblivion. Mr. C sends a text to Diane’s tulpa which is initially interfered with, likely by the strong electrical charge in the area, but later goes through and sets her to her manufactured purpose. Before she goes to assassinate (though she fails) Gordon, she sends a set of coordinates through text message.

Here, finally, we can resolve one question: Who gave Mr. C coordinates, to where, and why? We know he had three sets - two matching - before Diane sent a fourth. We know Jeffries and Ray each gave a set.



1) The set Ray gave came from Hastings’ secretary. Ray suggested he couldn’t be trusted and, indeed, insisted that he alone talk to the secretary. This set was likely, therefore, one of the match that would have led Mr. C to death if not for Richard.



2) The set Jeffries gave were latitude coordinates to Twin Peaks.



3) The set Diane gives come off of Ruth’s arm. She checks them. They lead to Twin Peaks.



Mr. C said TWO SETS matched and pointed to that rock. Who gave him the second false set?



Phyllis Hastings. She was Bill’s wife so she likely knew something of his ‘hobby’. He knew she was cheating on him so he was likely bitter. Who/whatever (generally thought to be Mr. C or Woodsmen allied with him, this being his ‘meeting’ with Briggs that the Jeffries impostor referenced) attacked Hastings in ‘the Zone’ demanded her name. Finally, Mr. C had her on presumably allied terms before her use ran out and he ended her.



So…Bill Hastings got real coordinates, didn’t he?

Yet Ray pulled fakes off his secretary, why?

Theory: Bill planted fake coordinates with his secretary - who was not at the meeting and so wouldn’t know any better - in the event that Phyllis (his bitter adulteress wife, recall) sought to interfere with or trouble his efforts.



Ray and Phyllis both received the same false set from Bill’s secretary which Bill had planted to undermine any meddling or snooping from Phyllis. So while Phyllis thought she was aiding Mr. C, she only ended up killing Richard.



In any case though, Mr. C tracks down the portal to the Fireman’s place. It opens near Jackrabbit’s Palace by this pit of strange solid amber-esque material, which I take as the ‘positive’ equivalent of the scorched black sludge at Glastonbury. He approaches, the portal swirls into being and…



He is immediately caged and sent off to the Twin Peaks sheriff station. Now, some points here:



1) Before the Fireman swipes the screen to the sheriff station, it shows the Palmer house. Many take this to suggest that the Palmer house was Mr. C’s intended destination. Well…Somewhat. Mr. C wants JUDY’s power. He can get that from Sarah or more directly from Nowhere. In any case, being that Sarah is mortal flesh, I think he’d still seek Nowhere.



2) ‘Why would Mr. C go into the station if that wasn’t his intended destination??’



Well…Once he got there, what happens? Naido starts up all panicked and frightened. Mr. C turns…Looks to the station…Suddenly has made up his mind to infiltrate. Andy was told that Naido is in danger, someone out to kill her…This someone was Mr. C, and he has sensed her presence in the station now. This is the ‘protect Naido’ moment.



Now – Why is Naido important, a target for murder? I’ve written on it before regarding Diane’s part in Cooper’s bizarre finale adventure. She is the Scarlet Woman (represented by her hair now mirroring the Waiting Room in color) by virtue of her time in the Other place, that figure of Thelema who embodies pure creative principle and serves as the final gate after the Dweller is conquered. It is she who enables Dale to cross over into the new reality and nearer still to JUDY.

But anyway, I digress. Mr. C is shot dead by Lucy. The Woodsmen attempt to restore him again but BOB’s apparently fed up with his failing ally. He bursts forth to handle business personally.

BOB is destroyed and Dale slips the ring upon Mr. C’s finger. Mr. C burns in the Waiting Room. Notably, his eyes have reverted to their season two state, that original cloudiness. The blackness - BOB occupying him - is gone. He is a soulless figure once more.

Events ensue. Dale, Gordon and Diane step forth from a blackness. Dale enters a room of same blackness and MIKE leads him to Jeffries’ proper room, also the blackness. This same blackness all through is…Familiar.

The Experiment. Avatar of JUDY. It does not occupy the Void where Naido resides in her cube. The Void is full of lighted pinpoints. This space is blackness. Pure, total. Absolute. This is “nowhere” - Jeffries is there too but spared from the infinite blackness himself by the life support of his machine.

The Final Dossier notes that Mr. C’s coordinate search was for that room of black in the Great Northern. ‘Nowhere’ was his aim. So…Why the Fireman’s place? Only the Experiment exists naturally in Nowhere. Jeffries only successfully exists there by virtue of his machine tethering his existence to the Dutchman’s. To even survive there, much less harness its power, Mr. C needed the Fortress. He needed to ‘dream’ a form for himself that could thrive Nowhere.



The immediate caging is all that stopped his plan.

And what was his plan – why Nowhere?



The Fireman’s fortress houses numerous things, one of the more prominent mechanisms being a great golden arm that functions to cast ‘dreams’ (creations) to the Earth. Mirror it and you get something resembling a rounded head with great antennae. Not unlike the strange symbol on Mr. C’s card. Except the symbol is black.



That is what Mr. C wants - access and control over dark powers of creation. The mirroring of this golden arm on the card is figurative - negative creation is inherently more powerful, in a sense of sheer force, than positive. The blackness marks that his aim is not the Fireman’s tools but the power held in Nowhere, the negative equivalent to the Fireman’s method.



The difference lies in method. The Fireman and Dido create in a pure, positive sense. The Experiment creates, paradoxically, through destruction. The bomb created wasteland only by ravaging nature. BOB created corpses only by terminating lives.



Essentially, Mr. C sought what Windom Earle (whose understanding fell terribly short of the true nature of these realms) sought before him: A power so vast that its bearer might reorder the Earth, to his liking.



The word “reorder” is key. Positive creation cannot “re”order things. To change order requires some act of destruction, some ‘negativity’. Positive creation minds collateral and preservation of surroundings. Negative needn’t care. It is a lack of restraint which renders negative more (potentially) powerful - and that’s what Mr. C wants. Unrestrained capacity to create. To destroy. Effectively, to be a god beholden to absolutely nothing beyond his own want.
