Any business records?

Tax forms? List of employees?

No, nothin' like that at all.

Say, has the FBI learned something?

The police around here

don't seem to have the first clue.

I mean, have you got, like, a description,

fingerprints, anything like that?

No.

No, we don't.

Here's that number.

Very good, Mr Gordon.

May I use your phone, please?

Sure, you can use my phone.

Freeze! Put your hands over your head.

And turn around. Spread your legs.

Spread your legs.

Put your hands in the back. Thumbs up.

Freeze!

Hello? Are you there?

I'm down here!

- Catherine Martin?

- Yes!

FBI. You're safe.

Safe, sh*t! Get me outta here!

- You're all right. Where is he?

- How the f*** should I know?

- Just get me outta here!

- You gotta be quiet. Shut that dog up.

Just get me outta here!

Oh, my God.

Catherine, I'm gonna get you outta there,

but right now you listen to me.

I've gotta leave this room. Be right back.

No! Don't you leave me here,

you f***in' b*tch!

Don't you leave me here!

This guy's f***in' crazy!

Please!

I gotta get outta here!

Catherine, the other officers'll

be here any minute now.

Wait! Don't go! Please!

Quiet!

- You OK?

- Gunpowder. It's nothing. I'm OK.

How did you track Buffalo Bill here?

Clarice M Starling.

Congratulations.

Special Agent Starling.

- Special Agent Mapp.

- Phone call.

- Excuse me.

- Starling.

Pilch, could you take our picture?

Yeah. Sure.

Look, I just wanted

to say congratulations.

I'm not much good at this kinda thing,

so I'm gonna duck outta here.

OK. Sure.

Thank you, Mr Crawford.

Your father would have been proud today.

Don't forget your phone call.

- Starling.

- Well, Clarice?

Have the lambs stopped screaming?

- Dr Lecter.

- Don't bother with the trace.

I won't be on long enough.

- Where are you, Dr Lecter?

- I have no plans to call on you, Clarice.

The world's more interesting

with you in it.

So you take care now

to extend me the same courtesy.

You know I can't make that promise.

I do wish we could chat longer but...

I'm having an old friend for dinner.

- Bye.

- Dr Lecter?

Dr Lecter?

Excuse me. You got

the security system all set up?

- We have the big-shot security.

- Thank you. I appreciate that.
