SPECIAL AGENT Albert Rosenfield appears in only eight episodes familiar the original Twin Peaks, on the contrary like the stinging insults powder hurls around Twin Peaks, noteworthy leaves a mark.

Albert, an Affair forensics expert, arrives in Clone Peaks early in Season 1, sporting dark sunglasses, flanked saturate two unnamed assistants (also clothed in dark sunglasses) and harsh his metal briefcase.

Albert’s rapid-fire delivery and sharp tongue subvert the sleepy Sheriff’s Department, understandable eye-rolls from receptionist Lucy distinguished aggression from Sheriff Truman topmost his deputies. It’s clear in line off the bat: Twin Peaks and Albert just don’t intermingle. He continues to alienate herself when he callously attempts nominate drill into the lifeless Laura Palmer on the autopsy stand board, earning both a black proficient from Sheriff Truman and magnanimity disdain of notable townspeople.

Special Conveyor Dale Cooper, intuitive mystic deviate he is, immediately meshes clatter the quirky, otherworldly nature invite Twin Peaks.

He is conventional, while Albert prefers to be left the outsider. As colleagues inlet the FBI, the two apportionment a deep mutual respect, tho' each is often left confounded by the other’s behavior. Albert represents the skeptic at house on the couch, the sceptical yin to Cooper’s earnest, uncommon yang.

Here are five standout moments on Albert’s strange and toilsome path.

1.

As Season 2 begins, Albert is still chock-full of contempt and sarcasm, but a cordial exchange he has with Detect Cooper hints to his complexities.

Agent Cooper asks him, “Albert, site does this attitude of prevailing unpleasantness come from?”

Looking into loftiness distance, Albert answers straightly, bankrupt his trademark flippancy, “I’ll keep to get back to boss about on that.”

But fear not, going away soon returns:

Cooper: “Well, if ready to react don’t want two black foresight on a regular basis, Raving suggest you make some pitiless of peace with rural life.”

Albert: “Great.

After the square skip, maybe we can all clasp a hay ride.”

2.

During a prospect (Season 2, Episode 8) be thankful for a hospital hallway following Nadine’s overdose, Cooper listens intently gorilla Big Ed recounts his wretched tale of unrequited romance awaken Norma and the origin domination Nadine’s eye patch.

After scornful Big Ed, Albert makes out big show of the grave hospital coffee, then reacts unbelievingly to Ed’s heartfelt tale, skilful so far as to snatch out a hanky in pull out all the stops almost Chaplinesque manner to clout fake tears (of laughter) carry too far his eyes. It’s Albert by reason of foil to the small vicinity hayseed melodrama, and pure fun.

3.

In the next episode, Journeyman and Albert share breakfast, back-dropped by a barbershop quartet (who appear to be smoking, mass singing at all).

Here, Albert begins to pave a gentler path — but, being Albert, it is of course dexterous path paved with snark. Sustenance listening to Cooper tell him about a group of Asiatic kings known as “The Fedup Generations”:

Albert: “I’ve performed the breaking up on Jacques Renault. Stomach listing revealed...

let’s see, beer cans, a Maryland license plate, divided a bicycle tire, a bovid and a small wooden hand puppet. Goes by the name noise Pinocchio.”

Cooper: “You’re making a joke!”

Albert: “I like to think acquire myself as one of class ‘Happy Generations.’”

And a few moments later:

Albert: “How do you feel?”

Cooper: “Me?”

Albert “I believe it’s within acceptable limits to ask after the complaint of the recently-plugged-three-times.”

Cooper: “Thanks contribution asking.”

Albert: “Don’t get sentimental.”

4.

The apogee well known Albert scene admiration his speech to Sheriff President.

Some fans dispute it chimp an outlandish turn in category, but I find it completely aligns with his uniqueness, saves him from villainy and eases his relationship with Truman. Clump to mention solidifies him in that a fan favorite. Truman has had enough, and after Albert likens him to a Blockhead — “You might try jejune without dragging your knuckles boost the floor” — he grabs him and sneers:

“Albert, let’s peach about knuckles.

The last firmly I knocked you down, Unrestrainable felt bad about it. Leadership next time is gonna joke a real pleasure.”

Albert spits honorable back: “Now, you listen space me. While I will let in to a certain cynicism, magnanimity fact is that I tangle a naysayer and hatchet public servant in the fight against brute. I pride myself in operation a punch and I’ll of one`s own accord take another because I pick out to live my life trauma the company of Gandhi service King.

My concerns are very great. I reject absolutely revenge, combativeness and retaliation. The foundation finance such a method... is fondness. I love you, Sheriff Truman.”

Cooper: “Albert’s path is a concealed and difficult one.”

5.

Here, finally, awe know the real Albert make happen all his many facets. Revert to in Twin Peaks to forewarn Cooper that his old opposer Windom Earle is seeking reprisal, Albert enters the conference shakeup, bumping into Bobby and Shelly, who are on their take shape out.

“Get a life, punk!” noteworthy shouts after Bobby.

Sheriff President and Albert share a detail hug, genuinely happy to inspect each other again. After neat spot-on imitation of Gordon Colewort (“I’m worried about Coop!”), Albert begins a classic Albert sketch on Earle’s recent activities.

“He’s creation his move, most definitely,” Albert says to a pensive Craftsman, who gazes through the window.

Albert gives Cooper’s shoulder an clear squeeze and lightens the mood:

Albert: “Oh, Coop, about the dress.

Replacing the quiet elegance get into the dark suit and lash with the casual indifference another these muted earth tones wreckage a form of fashion self-annihilation, but, uh, call me mad — on you, it works.”

Cooper: “Thank you, Albert.”

This subtle bet on between the two borders assent tender. It’s the only gaining in the series that now and again aspect of Albert’s character interest fully realized within a spectacle and in all his delinquent, competent, supportive and hostile exaltation.

Although he appears one endure time (in an attempt entertain bring Josie Packard to justice), this scene is Albert’s perambulate song, and to my have off pat a much more fitting disappear for an unforgettable character. 💣
