Eidetiker

LECTER: 

 ....You know, I'd always 

suspected as much --

You are an Eidetiker. 

FBI Special Agent

WILL GRAHAM : 

(laughs ruefully, shaking his head)

I'm not psychic, Doctor. 

LECTER: 

No, This is Different -- More akin 

to Artistic Imagination. 

You can assume the emotional 

Point of View of others... 

even those that might 

scare or sicken you.

It's a Troubling gift, I should think.

How I'd love to get You on My Couch. 

FBI Special Agent

WILL GRAHAM : 

Something still doesn't 

make sense to me.....

You're the best forensic psychiatrist I know... 

and somehow, in all our time together... 

this possibility never occurred to you. 

LECTER: 

I am Only Human, Will --

Perhaps I made A Mistake. 

FBI Special Agent

WILL GRAHAM : 

You don't strike me as a man 

who makes very many mistakes. 

LECTER: 

Now I'm sorry to think I might no 

longer enjoy your full confidence. 

FBI Special Agent

WILL GRAHAM : 

No, I didn't say that -- 

........I don't know 

what I'm saying. 

I'm very, very tired. 

I almost had it. 

LECTER: 

It'll come to you -- Why don't you 

come back in the morning? 

I'll clear some time on my schedule 

and then we can get started 

in revising our profile. 

Sound good?

FBI Special Agent

WILL GRAHAM : 
Yeah. 

LECTER: 
Rest here, and I'll 

get your coat. 

Won't be a tick. 

(Slow instrumental music) 

(Suspenseful instrumental music) 

(Climactic instrumental music) 

(Book slams shut) 

(Lecter hisses) 

LECTER: 

Don't Move. 

You're in Shock now. 

I don't want you 

to feel any pain. 

In a moment you'll begin to be light-headed. 

Then drowsy. 

Don't resist. It's so gentle.

Like slipping into a warm bath. 

(Will gasps in pain) 

LECTER: 

I regret it came to this, Will. 

But every game must have its ending. 

(Eerie instrumental music) 

LECTER: 
Remarkable Boy. 

I do admire 

Your Courage. 

I Think I'll Eat 

Your Heart. 

(Lecter gasps)
