"But I hope that you will, because..." "I know what it's like to have people... always thinking that you're different." "That's good." "May I touch your face?" "I want to know if you're smiling or frowning." "I want to know whether I should just shut up or not." "Take my word that I'm smiling." "I have to go." "If I offended you, I didn't mean to." "No." "F.B.I. Headquarters, Washington, D.C." "will:" "I don't know what they were like." "It'd help if I could see some of their personal effects." "Diaries, letters." "Do you have those things?" "I sure do." "I mean, other than... one or two little keepsakes Niles Jacobi got." "That would be Mr. Jacobi's surviving son by his first wife?" "Yes." "As their executor, I keep all that stuff in the office... along with some of the smaller valuables, till after probate." "But the Birmingham P.D.'s been all through it." "Could you pack those things and ship them up to me?" "I hate to ask." "I know it's a pain in the ass." "Hell... probate judge is an old golfing buddy of mine." "Son, just tell me you're gonna nail that son of a bitch." "We're doing our best." "Hey, thanks, Mr. Metcalf." "A note hidden in Lecter's cell." "Sounds like a fan letter." "Might've been mailed by the Tooth Fairy." "He wants Lecter's approval." "He's curious about you." "He's asking questions." "I've scrambled a chopper." "Does Lecter know we have the note?" "CRAWFORD:" "Not yet." "It was found in a routine cleanup." "will:" "They don't open his mail?" "CRAWFORD:" "Need a warrant." "X-rays only." "will:" "Where's Lecter?" "CRAWFORD:" "The holding cage." "will:" "Can he see his cell?" "CRAWFORD:" "No." "But he's been there almost half an hour." "He'll soon start to wonder what's wrong." "We got to buy time, Jack." "CRAWFORD:" "Dr. Chilton." "CHlLTON:" "Yes?" "Call your building superintendent... or engineer, whoever's in charge." "Tell him to pull the circuit breakers on Lecter's hall." "Have the super walk down the hall past the cell... carrying tools." "He'll be in a hurry, pissed off, too busy to answer questions." "And don't forget:" "Don't touch the note, okay?" "Graham's on his way." "Listen up!" "We've got a note coming in on the fly... possibly from the Tooth Fairy." "Number One Priority." "It has to go back to Lecter's cell within the hour... unmarked." "We'll need Hair and Fibre, Latent Prints, then Documents." "I'll walk it through myself." "Let's go, people!" "[Dramatic instrumental music]" "DOLARHYDE [Voiceover]:" "My dear Dr. Lecter:." "I wanted to tell you..." "I'm delighted... that you've taken an interest in me." "And when I learned of your vast correspondence, I thought:" ""Dare I?" Of course I do." "I don't believe you'll tell them who I am." "Besides, what particular body I currently occupy is trivial." "The important thing is what I am becoming." "I know that you alone can understand this transformation." "I have some things I'd love to show you." "If circumstances permit, I hope we can correspond." "I have admired you for years and have... a complete collection of your press notices." "Actually, I think of them as unfair reviews." "As unfair as mine." "They do like to sling demeaning nicknames, don't they?" ""The Tooth Fairy. " What could be more inappropriate?" "It would shame me for you to read that, if I didn't know... you had suffered the same distortions in the press." "I'm fed up with this bloody stupid building!" "Every day something breaking." "SUPER:" "I swear they ought to tear the whole fucking place down." "How much longer do we have?" "Ten minutes, max." "BOWMAN:" "lnstructions for answering... were probably in the section Lecter tore out." "Why not just throw the whole note away?" "It was full of compliments." "He couldn't bear to part with them." "[Suspenseful instrumental music]" "Now we can mash just a little." "You're so sly." "BOWMAN:" "But so am I." "Aniline dyes and coloured inks are transparent to infrared." "These could be the tips of "T's" here and here." "On the end, that's a "P,' or possibly an "R. "" "Maybe this is where he's telling Lecter how to answer him." "There's only one way to carry on a conversation... that's one-way blind." "Publication." "Wait a minute." "We know this guy reads the Tattler." "That's in his note, right?" "The Tooth Fairy, they made that up." "BOWMAN:" "Three "T's" and an "R" in "Tattler."" "How do you communicate through a tabloid?" "You got what?" "News stories." "Personals." "Maybe he wants Lecter to answer him through the personals?" "That could be it." "We need proofs of the pages... before the next Tattler's published!" "CRAWFORD:" "I'm on it!" "DOLARHYDE:" "Investigator Graham interests me." "Not your standard gumshoe, is he?" "More alert." "Purposeful looking." "You should have taught him not to meddle." "Forgive the stationery." "I chose it because it'll dissolve very quickly... if you should have to swallow it." "If I hear from you, next time I might send you something wet." "Until then, dear Doctor..." "I remain your most... avid fan." "[Suspenseful instrumental music]" "CRAWFORD:" "The Tattler got an ad order signed 666..." "Baltimore postmark on the envelope." "It's set to run this afternoon." "Chicago field office is sending the text through now." ""Dear Pilgrim."" "That's it." "Lecter called him a pilgrim when we talked." ""You honour me." "You're very beautiful." Christ!"

"The Tattler can't hold its presses any longer." "It's simple." "They only needed cover against casual readers." "I'm thinking it's a book code." "Code?" "The first numeral..." ""100 prayers," may be the page number." "The numbers after could be line and letter." "But what book?" "Bible?" "No, he's got "Galatians 15:2"" "It has only six chapters." "Same with "Jonah 6:8" It has four chapters." "He wasn't using a Bible." "Then the Tooth Fairy named the book to use." "He specified it in his note, in the part Lecter tore out." "BOWMAN:" "It would appear so." "What about sweating Lecter?" "In a mental hospital..." "I would think drugs" "No." "They tried sodium amytal on him three years ago, to find out... where he buried the Princeton student." "He gave them a recipe for dip." "If we sweat him, we lose the connection." "If the Tooth Fairy picked the book... he knew Lecter would have it in his cell." "Can we get a list of his books?" "From Chilton, maybe." "No!" "Wait!" "Rankin and Willingham, when they tossed his cell... took Polaroids so they could put everything back in place." "Ask them to meet me with pictures of his bookshelves!" "CRAWFORD:" "Where?" "BOWMAN:" "The Library!" "I'm leery of letting Lecter's message run... without knowing what it says." "I say let this one run." "We keep working on the code." "At least it'll encourage the Fairy to contact him again." "What if it encourages him to do something besides write?" "I don't like this any better than you." "But it's our best shot."

"Kill them all"" "will:" "Yeah?" "CRAWFORD:" "Bowman just broke the code." "What does it say?" "I'll tell you in a second." "Now, listen to me." "Everything is okay." "I've taken care of it." "Stay on the phone when I tell you." "Tell me now." "Lecter gave the bastard your home address." "CRAWFORD:" "Wait." "[Faint thump]" "[Door opening]" "[Harrowing instrumental music]" "Mum?" "AGENT [Shouting]:" "Head down, ma'am." "[Dramatic instrumental music]" "[Tender instrumental music]" "MOLLY:" "Is he after you now?" "will:" "No, Lecter just suggested it to him." "I hate this, Molly." "I'm sorry." "It's a sick feeling." "I know it is." "But you'll be safe here." "Crawford's brother owns this place." "No one in the world knows you're here." "I'd just as soon not talk about Crawford." "AGENT:" "What are you using as bait?" "JOSH:" "Sometimes I use worms." "AGENT:" "You like those?" "Beneath the yellow folder... you'll find your latest rejection slip... from the archives." "LECTER:" "It was brought to me by mistake with some of my archives mail."

"He had a fake Bureau lD... and was trying to get the Leeds family autopsy photos." "It's a Federal beef, so Atlanta kicked him back to us." "Personally..." "I'd like nothing better than to see the dirt sandwich... pulling five at Leavenworth." "But maybe there's a better way to handle this." "Yeah?" "What's that?" "I think we ought to give him a story." "will:" "The Tooth Fairy's ugly... and he's impotent with members of the opposite sex." "Also, he sexually molests his male victims." "While they're alive?" "will:" "Sorry, I can't go into those details." "But we do also speculate... that he's the product of an incestuous home." "No wonder the creep's such a loser, right?" "That's a tip we got from Dr. Lecter, by the way." "So it's true that Lecter's helping with your investigation?" "will:" "Yes, it's true." "The Doctor was offended a bottom-feeding lowlife like... the Tooth Fairy would consider himself in the same league." "[Lounds laughs]" "Okay, tell me about this place you got here." "Will, your little Washington hideaway." "This is an apartment I'm borrowing... till this creep goes down in flames." "I keep copies of the evidence so I can work on it at night." "Make sure you can read the name on that building." "PHOTOGRAPHER:" "Yeah." "All right, I got enough." "Just remember, I scratch your back, you scratch mine." "If my story draws the Fairy in an attack on Graham... and you nail the scumbag, I get an exclusive." "Fuck you, Lounds." "When we see the story, we'll consider what to do... about your sealed indictment." "All right, it was a pleasure doing business with you, chumps." "will:" "I feel like I need a shower." "You okay with this?" "Better he comes after me than Molly and Josh." "So, yeah, I'm okay with it." "I wish we had something better... but there's only ten days till the next full moon." "We've got to rattle his cage." "CRAWFORD:" "We'll stake out this apartment, put snipers on the rooftops." "You'll have a moving box tail, 24/7, in your car... on the street, wherever you go." "You'll wear the Kevlar at all times." "No exceptions." "You again?" "Come back at 4:00 a.m. when I open, all right?" "Hey, I told you!" "DOLARHYDE:" "What?" "You told me what?"

"I mean, a half a million... or a million, maybe." "DOLARHYDE:" "Do you know who I am, Mr. Lounds?" "No." "And I don't want to know." "You know, believe me." "DOLARHYDE:" "According to you, I'm a vicious, perverted sexual failure... a "bottom-feeding lowlife"... who's about to "go down in flames"" "I think you know now, don't you?" "Yes." "DOLARHYDE:" "Do you understand what I'm doing, Mr. Lounds?" "No." "But I would like to." "I really want to understand... and then all my readers could understand, too." "DOLARHYDE:" "I am not a man." "I began as one... but each being that I change makes me... more than a man... as you will witness." "I don't need to see you." "No." "But you must, Mr. Lounds." "You're a reporter." "You're here to report." "[Suspenseful instrumental music]" "Open your eyes and look at me." "No." "If you won't open them..." "I'll staple your eyelids to your forehead." "No!" "DOLARHYDE:" "Open your eyes!" "Oh, my dear God Jesus!" "Oh, God!" "[Dolarhyde grunts loudly]" "Do you want to know what I am?" "More than anything." "I was afraid to ask." "DOLARHYDE:" "Do you see now?" "Yeah, I see." "Oh, God." "DOLARHYDE:" "Mrs. Jacobi in human form." "DOLARHYDE:" "Do you see?" "LOUNDS:" "Yes." "DOLARHYDE:" "Mrs. Leeds in human form." "Do you see?" "Yes." "Mrs." "Jacobi changing." "Oh, my God." "Mrs. Leeds changing." "Do you see?" "DOLARHYDE:" "Mrs. Jacobi reborn." "Do you see?" "Mrs. Leeds reborn." "Do you see?" "Please, no." "No?" "No what?" "Not me." "Why did you write lies, Mr. Lounds?" "Graham told me to lie." "LOUNDS:" "It wasn't me." "Will you tell the truth now?" "Yes!" "About me?" "My work?" "Oh, yes." "My becoming?" "Yeah." "I am the Dragon, and you call me insane!" "You are privy to a great becoming... and you recognise nothing." "You are an ant in the afterbirth." "It is in your nature to do one thing correctly." "Before me, you rightly tremble." "But fear is not what you owe me, Mr. Lounds." "You owe me awe." "Read." "DOLARHYDE:" "That's all, Mr. Lounds." "You did very well." "Will you let me go now?" "DOLARHYDE:" "Soon." "There's one more way I can help you to better understand." "I want to understand." "I do." "And I'm really gonna be fair... from now on." "You know that." "Hello?" "LOUNDS:" "Oh, God, no!" "[Lounds screaming in pain]" "[Rusty wheels squeaking]" "LOUNDS [Recording]:" "I have had a great privilege." "I have seen with... wonder and awe the strength of the Great Red Dragon." "He has helped me to understand his splendour... and now I want to serve him." "He knows you made me lie, Will Graham." "Because I was forced to lie... he will be more merciful to me than to you." "Hello?" "Oh, God, no!" "[Lounds screaming in pain on recording]" "[Silence]" "We can let this tie us up in knots... or we can learn from it." "Maybe even use it to catch the bastard." "He had to have a van or panel truck... to move Lounds around in that big old wheelchair." "Go on." "He had to already have the wheelchair... or know where to get one fast." "It's an antique, not something you'd find in the house." "Does it strike anybody that he set this up in a hurry?" "The Tattler comes off the press Monday night." "By Tuesday morning he's in Chicago, snatching Lounds." "He either lives in the Chicago area... or he's within a driving radius of... call it six hours." "Find out in this area where the Tattler was available... for early distribution Monday night." "Start with airports, all-night newsstands." "Maybe a newsie remembers an odd customer." "Lloyd, this cassette, enhance the audio." "Maybe you can pick up something in the background." "That wheelchair..." "I want the maker, date, possible sources." "Graham and I will coordinate from Chicago." "Let's hustle." "Look, there's not gonna be any answers in Chicago, Jack." "Okay?" "I mean, Lounds, that was a bonus." "That was a chance to show off." "It doesn't even fit his pattern." "The Leeds and the Jacobis are what he needs." "I think I should go back to Baltimore." "After what he tried to pull?" "Lecter picked up on something in the missing part of the note." "Not a name, but something, enough to narrow the search." "Even if he did, he won't tell you." "Not unless I can offer him something." "LECTER [Voiceover]:" "Congratulations." "That was most artistic, the way you disposed of Mr. Lounds." "Your cell looks bigger with no books in it." "Does it?" "I hadn't noticed." "will:" "Oh, you will." "I have other resources." "Tell me, Will." "Did you enjoy it?" "Your first murder?" "Of course you did." "Why shouldn't it feel good?" "It does to God." "Why, only last week in Texas, he dropped a church roof... on the heads of 34 of his worshippers... as they were grovelling through a hymn." "He wouldn't begrudge you one journalist." "Put me next to him, Doctor." "You and some SWAT team?" "Oh, Will." "Where's the fun in that?" "He'll have to take his chances, too." "A roof can fall on anybody." "But not on Molly and Josh, I take it." "Not yet, anyway." "First he kills the pet, then the family." "Freddy was your pet." "They're safe now." "No one will ever be safe around you, Will." "[Suspenseful instrumental music]" "Clever work on his note, by the way." "And that blackout was an especially nice touch." "What else was in that note, Doctor?" "Put me next to him!" "That's what you want, isn't it?" "To help him succeed where you failed?" "Twice?" "Give him a chance to kill me." "Go on, then." "Seduce me with your wares." "Full restoration of your privileges." "Plus computer access to the AMA archives." "One hour a week under supervision, of course... but it's a one-time offer." "It expires the minute I walk out of here." "Bit measly, don't you think?" "Turn it down, then." "See what terms you get from Chilton." "Are these threats, William?" "I'm waiting, Doctor." "Or maybe you've got nothing left to sell." "A little sample, then." "Why not?" "Seen the Blake, have you?" "Yes." "No, you've looked but not seen." "Transformation is the key." "The man-dragon... his ugliness transformed by power." "Look for a military record with combat training." "Look for extensive tattooing... and corrective surgery, most likely to the face." "Come on, I'm past that already and you know it." "Give me what I need." "How is he choosing the women?" "I've already suggested how." "The answer was in front of you." "You looked but didn't see." "Bullshit!" "No riddles!" "Just tell me." "No!" "LECTER:" "It's your turn." "I asked you before for a small courtesy... and you responded rudely." "Before I tell you anything more... you will make certain arrangements for me." "What kind of arrangements?" "Oh, nothing much." "Shall we say dinner and a show?" "You ready to tell me what kind of outing this is?" "Nope." "You're just full of surprises, aren't you, D?" "Yep." "WARFlELD:" "He's about six feet away." "Can you smell him?" "Yeah." "Now, he's a little noisy, but he's sedated, I assure you." "Doctor Hassler's about to fix his broken tooth." "Glad you could come, Ms. McClane." "We appreciate the infrared film, by the way." "WARFlELD:" "Two more steps." "I'll put your left hand on the edge of the table." "Now, he's right in front of you." "Take your time." "[Tiger bays drowsily]" "D?" "I'm here." "You go ahead." "[Suspenseful instrumental music]" "[Tiger growls sleepily]" "Here." "Why don't you try this?" "[Strong heartbeat]" "[Clock ticking]" "Nine steps from the front door to the clock... and three more to this room." "Sorry." "Force of habit." "[Jazz music plays]" "That beautiful tiger, this house, this music...." "I don't think anybody knows you at all, D." "Everybody wonders about you, though." "Especially the women." "What do they want to know?" "They find you... very mysterious and interesting." "Did they tell you how I look?" "They said that you have a remarkable body." "That you're very sensitive about your face but you shouldn't be." "Oh, and... they asked me if... you are as strong as you look." "And?" "I said I didn't know." "[Record stops playing]" "[Seductive jazz music plays]" "Where the hell are you, D?" "Here you are." "Do you want to know what I think about it?" "Now, would you show me where the bathroom is?"

"It's just a tape I need to watch." "It won't take long." "Do you need to hear it, too?" "No." "May I keep the music?" "[Suspenseful instrumental music]" "What's it about?" "Some people I'm going to meet." "So then... it's what?" "It's a corporate promo?" "Some kind of homework?" "It's homework." "Yeah." "That's a good idea." "It's so important to be prepared."

"CRAWFORD:" "Think he cased the house with the old door?" "He brought the bolt cutter, didn't he?" "He was sure he'd need it." "Why case it two months in advance and not check it?" "I don't know." "He was ready with the bolt cutter..." "like at the Leeds' house." "There he was ready with a glass cutter." "He must've seen the glass when he walked in the neighbourhood."
