301 All the mutilation you see there is postmortem. 302 OK, three days. Then he shoots them, 303 skins them and dumps them, each body in a different river. 304 The water leaves us no trace evidence of any kind. 305 That's Fredrica Bimmel, the first one. 306 Her body was the only one he took the trouble to weight down, 307 so actually she was the third girl found. 308 After her, he got lazy. 309 OK, let's see. 310 Circles where the girls were abducted. Arrows where their bodies were found. 311 This new one today washed up here. Elk River, West Virginia. 312 Look at him, Starling. Tell me what you see. 313 He's a white male. Serial killers tend to hunt within their own ethnic groups. 314 He's not a drifter. He's got his own house somewhere, not an apartment. 315 - Why? - What he does with them takes privacy. 316 He's in his thirties or forties. He's got real physical strength, 317 combined with an older man's self-control. 318 He's cautious, precise... 319 And he's never impulsive. He'll never stop. 320 Why not? 321 Got a real taste for it now and he's getting better at his work. 322 Not bad, Starling. Questions? 323 Yes, sir. You haven't mentioned anything about the information in my report 324 or Dr Lecter's offer, sir. 325 - I'm considering it. - That's why you sent me in there, isn't it? 326 To get his help on Buffalo Bill, sir? 327 Well, if that was the case, then I just wish I was in on it, that's all. 328 If I'd sent you in with an actual agenda, Lecter would have known it instantly. 329 He would have toyed with you then turned to stone. 330 Excuse me, Sheriff Perkins. These are the FBI people. 331 Sheriff Perkins - Jack Crawford, FBI. Special Agent Terry. 332 Agent Starling. We appreciate being invited into your jurisdiction. 333 I didn't call you. That was the state attorney's office. 334 - We'll extend you every courtesy, but... - Sheriff. 335 This type of sex crime has certain aspects I'd just as soon discuss in private. 336 Know what I mean? 337 - Oscar, fetch Dr Akins from the chapel. - Starling, we're back here. 338 Tell Lamar to come on when he's finished playing his music. 339 Yeah, we'll be sending in a minute. 340 I need a six-way linkup. 341 Chicago, Detroit... 342 What? 343 Excuse me. Excuse me, gentlemen. You officers and gentlemen, 344 listen here now. There's things we need to do for her. 345 I know that y'all brought her this far and her folks would thank you if they could 346 for your kindness and your sensitivity. 347 But now please go on now and let us take care of her. 348 Go on now. 349 Thank you. 350 Thank you. |
