dr. bloom called me yesterday, mr. graham. or should i call you dr. graham?
dr. lecter will stay in his room. that is absolutely the only place where he is not put in full body restraints. one wall of his room is a double barrier. i will have a chair put just outside.
as long as it's on soft paper. you may find this curious.
here lecter's resting on the examining table getting an electrocardiogram. complained of chest pains. pulse seventy-two. here he grabs the nurse's head and pulls her down to him. here he's subdued by the attendant and lecter's shoulder is dislocated. do you notice the strange thing? his pulse never got over eighty- five. even when he tore into her face.
the consensus around here is that the only person who has demonstrated any practical understanding of dr. hannibal lecter is you, mr. graham. can you tell me anything about him?
when you saw dr. lecktor's murders, their 'style,' so to speak, were you able to reconstruct his fantasies? and did that help you identify him?
looks at graham. dr. chilton has seen a lot of hostility. right now he's seeing some more.
uh.  sure.
come in.
yes?
do you have it?
put it down on my desk blotter and don't touch it again. has anyone else handled it except you?
this is dr. chilton. at the chesapeake hospital. will you please call them this is very, very urgent!!
well, it's about goddamn time! i have a note here, or two pieces of a note, that appears to be from the man who killed those people in atlanta and.
from hannibal lecktor's cell. it was hidden in a book.
it's written on toilet tissue. 'my dear dr. lecktor, i wanted to tell you i'm delighted that you've taken an interest in me. i know that you alone can understand what i'm becoming. 'i know you alone understand the reality of the people who die to help me in these things, understand that they are only elements undergoing change to fuel the radiance of what i am becoming. just as the source of light is burning. mr. graham, there's a hole torn and punched our, then it says.  'i have a complete collection of your press notices. f think of them as unfair. as unfair as mine. the "tooth fairy." what could be more inappropriate. investigator graham interests me. very purposeful locking. i hope we can correspond. there's another piece missing here. i'll read the bottom part. 'after i hear back from you, i might send you something wet. signed: avid fan. it has teethmarks pressed in it at the bottom.
in a holding cell.
three, four hours.
