Andrew Packard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Packard (played by Dan O'Herlihy) is a fictional character on the 1990-1991 primetime ABC series Twin Peaks. He was formerly the owner of the Packard Sawmill, brother of Catherine and husband of Josie Packard. He was the former business partner of Thomas Eckhardt, a sinister businessman, operating in the Far East. He was killed in a boating "accident".
Naturally, Andrew is not really dead at all, but being shielded by Catherine. The accident was an attempted assassination by Josie, on the orders of Thomas Eckhardt.
Andrew and Catherine 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 Packard and Catherine Martell. It is a box, with an astrological code on it (paralleling the Black Lodge/Windom Earle theme), which contains several other boxes within it, Russian doll fashion, and in which is finally discovered to contain a safety deposit key for the local bank - after Andrew shoots a couple of bullets into the smallest one. When the box is opened by Andrew, a bomb is triggered, but as it's the final episode ever made, we don't know what damage was done.
