Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins)’s Timeline and Summary

Hannibal Lecter, in his lonely cell in the basement of the Baltimore State Forensic Hospital, meets FBI trainee Clarice Starling.
She impresses him with her wit and candor, and he gives her a cryptic clue about new serial killer on the block (NSKOTB) Buffalo Bill.
That night, Lecter convinces his cell neighbor, Miggs, to kill himself, because Miggs assaulted and insulted Clarice.
Clarice later returns for more information, but Lecter wants to transferred away from Dr. Chilton first.
She makes him an offer of transfer and Lecter agrees to help her after a bit of quid pro quo.
However, the offer turns out to be fake. Dr. Chilton makes his own offer. Unbeknownst to Chilton, Lecter steals his pen.
Lecter is moved to Memphis. He taunts Sen. Ruth Martin and gives a fake name for Buffalo Bill, "Louis Friend."
Clarice deciphers Lecter's anagram and tells him the rest of her life story. He gives her another cryptic clue.
That afternoon, Lecter uses Chilton's pen to pick his handcuffs, kills some guards, and escape!
Later, he calls Clarice and congratulates her for graduating the FBI Academy. He's tracking Dr. Chilton and plans on having him "for dinner."
