The Silence of the Lambs Scene 14 Summary

  • Lecter, in his iconic mask, is unloaded at Memphis International Airport. (We're not sure how they fit him in the overhead bin.) He should have made a visit to Graceland part of the deal…
  • When Chilton reaches for his pen to sign the transfer documents, he can't find it. Uh-oh.
  • Lecter is rolled over to the Senator, who gives Lecter her word that she'll help him if he helps her.
  • Lecter says Bill's real name is Louis Friend. He met him once. He was a patient who knew Benjamin Raspail. "Knew" in the Biblical sense.
  • But Raspail was scared because Bill killed someone. Yeah, that'd be scary.
  • Lecter taunts the Senator with crude remarks, but then gives more details about Bill's identity. Sounds like he's telling the truth.
  • Chilton brags to the press about Lecter's revelations.
