Renault brothers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Renault brothers are a trio of fictional characters on the 1990-1991 primetime ABC series Twin Peaks, created by David Lynch and Mark Frost.
They are Franco-Columbians and heavily involved in various kinds of crime, especially drug running. The three have connections with One Eyed Jacks, the casino and brothel, just over the border in British Columbia.
- Bernard--(Clay Wilcox) Drug runner, and youngest.
- Jacques--(Walter Olkewicz) croupier at “One Eyed Jacks,” bartender at the Roadhouse, drug-runner, had sex with Laura Palmer. He has several jobs on the go.
- Jean--(Michael Parks) he is the eldest of the three and hides his ruthlessness behind charm. He has the biggest role in the series.
No two of the three brothers are ever shown together on screen during the series.
By the end of the series, all three are killed.
Bernard is the first picked up, and interrogated by the Bookhouse Boys (“I ain’t no mule”), refusing to answer all their questions properly. However, he manages to warn Jacques to stay away from the roadhouse, because something is afoot. He is later murdered and left in the woods by Leo Johnson.
Jacques is an overweight bartender who had sex with Laura before she was killed. He is questioned incognito by Dale Cooper at One Eyed Jacks and produces a clue in the shape of a broken casino chip which had been bitten by Laura Palmer. He is fooled into returning to Twin Peaks, and is ambushed there. He is just about to pull his gun, when he is shot by Deputy Andy Brennan, whose gun toting skills have somewhat improved. He ends up in hospital, where he is suffocated by Leland Palmer.
Jean is keen to take over One Eyed Jacks for himself and deposes Blackie, the madame, in favor of her sister Nancy. When Audrey Horne goes undercover in One Eyed Jacks and is caught and held to ransom, Jean delivers the ransom demand and video to her father Benjamin Horne. He tries to win the favour of Audrey by pretending to be her friend, but ends up falling foul of both camps when Cooper and Sheriff Truman gatecrash One Eyed Jacks and rescue Audrey. Jean escapes but is later killed when Cooper gets wind of a drug deal going on between Jean and Twin Peaks resident convict Hank Jennings at Dead Dog Farm.
