1:07:01
After your father's murder,
you were orphaned.
1:07:04
You went to live with cousins on
a sheep and horse ranch in Montana.
1:07:07
And?
1:07:10
And one morning I just ran away.
1:07:13
Not "just", Clarice. What set you off?
1:07:17
- You started at what time?
- Early. Still dark.
1:07:20
Then something woke you, didn't it?
Was it a dream? What was it?
1:07:26
I heard a strange noise.
1:07:29
What was it?
1:07:31
It was screaming.
1:07:36
Some kind of screaming.
Like a child's voice.
1:07:39
What did you do?
1:07:41
I went downstairs.
1:07:44
Outside.
1:07:47
I crept up into the barn.
1:07:50
I was so scared to look inside,
but I had to.
1:07:54
What did you see, Clarice?
What did you see?
1:07:58
Lambs.
1:08:01
They were screaming.
1:08:03
They were slaughtering the spring lambs?
1:08:06
And they were screaming.
1:08:09
- And you ran away?
- No. First I tried to free them.
1:08:14
I opened the gate to their pen,
but they wouldn't run.
1:08:17
They just stood there, confused.
They wouldn't run.
1:08:21
But you could - and you did, didn't you?
1:08:24
Yes. I took one lamb
and I ran away as fast as I could.
1:08:28
- Where were you going, Clarice?
- I don't know. I didn't have any food,
1:08:32
any water and it was very cold, very cold.
1:08:37
I thought...
1:08:39
I thought if I could save just one, but...
1:08:44
He was so heavy.
1:08:46
So heavy.
1:08:53
I didn't get more than a few miles
when the sheriff's car picked me up.
