He was a town marshal.
:52:03
One night he surprised two burglars
:52:07
coming out the back of a drugstore.
:52:10
They shot him.
:52:12
Was he killed outright?
:52:14
No, he was very strong.
He lasted more than a month.

:52:19
My mother died when I was very young.
:52:24
My father had become the whole world to
me, and, when he left me, I had nothing.

:52:28
I was ten years old.
:52:31
You're very frank, Clarice.
:52:34
I think it would be quite something
to know you in private life.

:52:40
Quid pro quo, Doctor.
:52:43
So tell me about Miss West Virginia.
Was she a large girl?

:52:50
- Yes.
- Big through the hips? Roomy?

:52:53
- They all were.
- What else?

:52:57
She had an object deliberately
inserted into her throat.

:53:01
Now, that hasn't been made public yet.
We don't know what it means.

:53:05
Was it a butterfly?
:53:08
Yes. A moth.
:53:11
Just like the one we found
in Benjamin Raspail's head an hour ago.

:53:17
Why does he place them there, Doctor?
:53:19
The significance of the moth is change.
:53:23
Caterpillar into chrysalis, or pupa,
:53:27
and from thence into beauty.
:53:30
Our Billy wants to change, too.
:53:33
There's no correlation between
transsexualism and violence.

:53:36
- Transsexuals are very passive.
- Clever girl.

:53:40
You're so close to the way you're
gonna catch him, do you realize that?

:53:43
No. Tell me why.
:53:46
After your father's murder you were
orphaned. What happened next?

:53:53
I don't imagine the answer is
on those second-rate shoes, Clarice.

:53:58
I lived with my mother's cousin and her
husband in Montana. They had a ranch.
