In Twin Peaks – Part 3 on Showtime, hitman Jake (played by Bill Tangradi) tracks Jade’s yellow Jeep as she leaves the Rancho Rosa Estates neighborhood.

The exploration of film locations used for Rancho Rosa Estates continues with a look at hitmen Gene and Jake’s stakeout outside Dougie Jones’ love nest.
