l think he had to touch her.

Jesus, Will.

Gentlemen. Ladies.

This is what the subject's teeth

look like.

The impressions came from

bite marks on Mrs. Leeds.

This degree of crookedness...

plus the groove

in this central incisor...

makes his bite signature unique.

F***in' shark.

Knock it off!

We're grateful to have the FBl.

They have a lot of expertise

in this area.

ln particular,

lnvestigator Graham does.

That right, Jack?

Yes, sir.

Anything you want to add,

Mr. Graham?

Why don't you come

on up to the front, please?

-That's the guy.

-Was he?

Yeah, that's the guy

who arrested Lecter.

l thought he retired.

The son of a b*tch

just about gutted him.

Mrs. Leeds and Mrs. Jacobi

were the primary targets.

The others were killed

just to complete his fantasy.

l know that might be hard

to accept given what you saw...

but this was not random.

This wasn't some killing frenzy.

He was never out of control.

These attacks were organized,

the women carefully chosen.

We don't know

how he's choosing them, or why.

They lived in different states

and never met.

But there is some connection.

There's some common factor,

and that's the key.

Find out what that is,

and we'll save lives.

'Cause this one

is gonna go on and on...

until we get smart

or we get lucky.

He won't stop.

-Why not?

-Because it makes him God.

Would you give that up?

You asked about the dog.

Last night a vet called us.

Leeds and his oldest boy

brought the dog in...

the afternoon

before they were killed.

Had a puncture wound

to its abdomen.

The vet had to put it down.

Was it wearing a collar

with the address on it?

No.

-Did the Jacobis have a dog?

-No dog.

They found a litter box

in the basement...

cat droppings in it, no cat.

lf the cat was attacked,

the Jacobis may have buried it.

Ask Birmingham

to check that backyard.

And tell them to use

a methane probe, it's faster.

Yeah. lt's for you.

Crawford.

Carl, you're the light

of my life.

Would it hold up in court?

Okay. Great work.

They found a print on

Mrs. Leeds' eye. Partial thumb.

Besides that,

there's nothing else to tell you.

Thank you for your time.

l can't answer

more questions.

Will Graham! Remember me?

Freddy Lounds. l covered

the Lecter case for the Tattler.

-Did the paperback.

-Yeah, l remember.

When did they bring you in?

What've you got?

You think the Tooth Fairy

will be bigger than Lecter?

l mean, he's already beaten

Lecter's score--

You write lying sh*t,

and the Tattler is an asswipe!

You stay away from me.

Get away, Lounds.

How about an exclusive?

Sorry about that.

That guy snuck into the hospital

and took those pictures of me.
