:06:01
A-minus, sir.
:06:05
Double major: psych and criminology.
Graduated magna.

:06:08
Summer internships
at the Reitzinger Clinic.

:06:11
It says, when you graduate, you wanna
work for me in Behavioral Science.

:06:15
Yes, very much, sir. Very much.
:06:19
We're interviewing all serial killers now in
custody for a psycho-behavioral profile.

:06:24
Could be a real help in unsolved cases.
:06:26
Most of them have been
happy to talk to us.

:06:29
- Do you spook easily, Starling?
- Not yet, sir.

:06:33
See, the one we want most
refuses to cooperate.

:06:36
I want you to go after him
again today in the asylum.

:06:39
- Who's the subject?
- The psychiatrist, Hannibal Lecter.

:06:43
Hannibal the Cannibal.
:06:45
I don't expect him to talk to you.
:06:49
But I have to be able to say we tried.
:06:51
So if he won't cooperate,
I want just straight reporting.

:06:54
How does he look? How does
his cell look? Is he sketching, drawing?

:06:58
If he is, what's he sketching?
:07:04
Here's a dossier on Lecter.
:07:08
A copy of our questionnaire
and a special ID for you.

:07:12
Have your memo on my desk
by 0800 Wednesday.

:07:14
OK.
:07:18
Excuse me, sir, but why the urgency?
Lecter's been in prison for so many years.

:07:23
Is there some connection
between him and Buffalo Bill maybe?

:07:26
I wish there were.
Now, I want your full attention, Starling.

:07:31
- Yes, sir.
- Be very careful with Hannibal Lecter.

:07:35
Dr Chilton at the asylum will go over all
the physical procedures used with him.

:07:39
Do not deviate from them
for any reason whatsoever.

:07:43
And you're to tell him nothing personal.
:07:45
Believe me, you don't want
Hannibal Lecter inside your head.

:07:49
Just do your job,
but never forget what he is.

:07:52
And what is that?
:07:53
Oh, he's a monster. A pure psychopath.
:07:58
So rare to capture one alive.
