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.

:54:03
- Was it a cattle ranch?
- Sheep and horses.

:54:07
- How long did you live there?
- Two months.

:54:11
- Why so briefly?
- I ran away.

:54:14
Why, Clarice? Did the rancher
make you perform fellatio?

:54:18
Did he sodomise you?
:54:20
No. He was a very decent man.
:54:25
Quid pro quo, Doctor.
:54:29
Billy is not a real transsexual.
But he thinks he is. He tries to be.

:54:33
He's tried to be a lot of things, I expect.
:54:36
You said that I was very close to the way
we would catch him. What did you mean?

:54:40
There are three centers for
transsexual surgery: Johns Hopkins,

:54:44
the University of Minnesota
and Columbus Medical Centre.

:54:47
I wouldn't be surprised if Billy had applied
for sex reassignment at all of them

:54:52
and been rejected.
:54:54
On what basis would they reject him?
:54:57
Look for severe childhood disturbances
associated with violence.
