The Silence of the Lambs Scene 16 Summary

  • Lecter has a new drawing: Clarice with a lamb.
  • Guards arrive with dinner, a plate of lamb chops, extra rare.
  • Lecter puts his hands through the bars to be handcuffed, but he has something concealed in his palm.
  • He picks the lock on his cuffs, and when the guard sets down the tray, Lecter cuffs him!
  • Then he bites the other's guy's face off and sprays him with mace.
  • Finally, he beats the cuffed guard to death with his own nightstick. Piece of cake.
  • With the guards dead, Lecter relaxes to some classical music.
  • Oh, one of them isn't dead. He's crawling away, but Lecter picks up a knife and follows him.
