Andrew Packard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrew Packard (played by Dan O'Herlihy) is a fictional character on the 1990-1991 TV series Twin Peaks. A sprightly and high-spirited man in spite of his old age, with a pronounced English accent, he was formerly the owner of the Packard Sawmill but was supposedly killed in a boating accident.

This accident actually was brought about by Hank Jennings, working on behalf of Andrew's wife Josie and his former business partner Thomas Eckhardt, a sinister businessman operating in the Far East.

Later it is revealed that Andrew anticipated the attempt and went into hiding.

Andrew and his sister Catherine Martell have a mutual distrust, but are also mutually beneficient. Catherine seems to resent the fact that Pete, her husband, gets on so well with Andrew and that they joke together.

Before he dies, Eckhardt leaves a mysterious puzzle to Andrew and Catherine. It is a box, with an astrological code on it, which in Russian doll fashion contains several other boxes within it. Andrew and Pete finally discover a key to a safety deposit for the local bank after Andrew shoots a couple of bullets into the smallest one.

When Andrew and Pete go to the bank and open the deposit, a bomb is triggered. The extent of the damage is unclear, as this happened in the final episode, but probably Andrew, Pete, and the bank clerk died in the explosion.
