(men shouting indistinctly)
(train whistle blowing)
(speaking Russian)
Passport.
- Student? - Yes.
You need a new photograph.
(shouting in foreign language)
Da.
(man singing in foreign language)
Night report.
Entry visas for Kaunas.
Lecter.
The lodge.
(squealing)
"Kolnas."
"Grutas."
Mischa.
(spades earth)
Herr Dortlich...
On behalf of myself and my late family,
I thank you for coming.
Do you remember the bathtub bubbling on the stove?
She was dead anyway, I swear she was.
So much mayonnaise, Herr Dortlich.
(Dortlich whimpers)
Where are the others?
I-I don't know.
(whistling)
Yes, I know where one of them is, Grentz. I know Grentz.
Grentz?
In Canada. He got out on the refugee boat from Bremerhaven.
What did he look like?
Swarthy.
They wouldn't have let him in the SS!
Oh, yes, of course.
He's the one that always provided the bowl.
What about Milko?
All dead, all dead.
In the war.
I remember his singing.
(singing in German)
And now, your leader Grutas.
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, please!
Please let me go, and I will testify against Grentz.
(continues whistling)
Do you remember "Das Männlein im Walde," Herr Dortlich?
# Ein Männlein steht im Walde, ganz still und stumm #
Mischa loved that song.
Let's sing for Mischa.
# Ein Männlein steht in Walde, ganz still und stumm #
# Es hat von lauter Purpur ein Mäntlein um #
(rope cracks)
You're not singing.
Sing for slack, Herr Dortlich.
Sag...
# Sag, wer mag das Männlein sein... #
# Das da steht im... #
Uh!
# Das da steht im Walde... #
(chokes)
It's Kolnas! Kolnas deals with him!
# Mit dem purpurroten Mäntelein #
Deals with him.
And where is Kolnas?
(gurgling)
Fontainebleau.
# Sagt, wer mag das Männlein sein #
- # Das da steht in Wald allein # - (screaming)
# Mit dem purpurroten Mäntelein #
- (whistles) - (continues screaming)
(chokes)
(head thumps)
Purpurroten Mäntelein, indeed.
(dogs barking)
(men calling)
Picked some wild mushrooms and made a brochette.
Mushrooms and cheeks.
(keys jangling)
(unlocks door)
Where have you been?
You smell of smoke and blood.
Where did you go?
I found them.
The men who killed Mischa.
I have the names.
They're here in France.
Where?
Fontainebleau.
Ortolans.
He nets them on their way to Africa and serves them for lunch.
They're like us-- they smell the others cooking,
and still they try to sing.
Kolnas is using the name of "Kleber."
It's on the license.
Monsieur Kleber, residing Rue Juliana.
Morning, how are you?
Oh, look.
Here he is.
Come by on his way to church to check the till.
How neat he is, and plump, this...
...war criminal.
(Hannibal whistles "Das Männlein im Walde")
# Ein Männlein steht in Walde #
# Ganz still und stumm #
Do you know that song?
# Es hat von lauter Purpur ein Mäntlein um #
Where's Natalya?
Huh? Where is she?
She's always wandering off.
Come, come. Come!
We need to go to church.
Hannibal, he has children.
She's wearing Mischa's bracelet.
Choose your offering for the church.
Good. Put it in your pocket, hmm?
Ah, the shiny one.
We'll put it safe in...
MRS. KOLNAS: What is it?
(girl sobs)
(faint yelling)
- Evening. - They're waiting for you down below.
I called my Soviet friends.
Dortlich's dog tag was in his mouth.
That means that he has all of our dog tags
- and the pot watcher's inventory. - MILKO: No, no.
Dortlich searched those ruins before, mm?
Grutas told him to do it.
Poked around with his picnic fork, the lazy bastard.
Who is he?
Who is he, this, uh, poisoned little boy
who killed Dortlich, hmm?
He's a Paris schoolboy.
They say that there is a passport photograph,
but they don't have it yet.
What's his name?
Hannibal Lector.
You know him?
So do you.
We, uh... we had dinner with him during the war.
(laughing)
Go back to your restaurant, Kolnas.
Hey!
Bring me a covered dish next time.
Where the hell is Dieter?
Dieter!
You bruise their face, you split their lip, the money goes down.
Come here.
And that one--
that one is mine, for now.
(laughing) I didn't do it!
Milko, I want you to go to Paris.
Kolnas found me a Bösendorfer piano, the best.
Oh, and, uh...
find the boy.
Lector.
You know what to do with him.
HANNIBAL: Thanks.
(buzzer)
Inspector Popil.
Please come in.
This is, uh, not a social call.
- Where is he? - I don't know.
At medical school, I think.
Did you ever see this man?
No.
His name's Dortlich.
He's a war criminal.
He was found near the castle Hannibal came from.
Dortlich had some ugly friends.
I want to know where they are.
Hannibal may know.
Don't cut yourself.
I know about you.
I know you lost your family, everything,
when the bomb fell on Hiroshima.
Yes.
You protect Hannibal because he lost everything, too?
That is your bond with him?
Do you see your family in your dreams, Inspector?
Yes.
So do I.
So does he.
If your pet snake strikes in France,
I will have to seize him, and he will die under the guillotine.
(locking door)
(saw whirring)
(grunting)
Sorry.
(screaming)
(coughing)
It was Grutas who sent you to kill me.
No, not to kill.
To give you money.
Let me give it to you.
No!
(engine running)
(unlocks door)
- You killed so many, Milko. - No!
Many more than these.
Do you feel them in the tank around you?
Hmm?
We ate...
...we ate 12.
Grutas was very quick.
She felt nothing!
(screaming)
So, Grutas has a house.
Where?
I have difficulty hearing you.
He has a house...
(panting)
No!
All right, all right.
Milly-la-Foret.
No, no, no!
Uh, uh, she felt nothing.
(gurgling)
Uh, uh!
No, please!
No!
Oh, Inspector Popil.
What a surprise.
Found in your room.
If you kill in France...
I will see your head in a bucket.
Do you mind if I work while we talk?
You killed Dortlich in the woods where your family died.
His face had been eaten.
I would suspect the ravens.
Ravens who made a shish kebab?
Cannibalism.
It happened on the eastern front.
But you know that, don't you? You were there.
This is not the face of your subject.
This is the face of Vladis Grutas, like the pictures in your room.
Did you kill him, too?
No, I didn't.
Have you found him?
If I found him, I give you my word I would bring him to your attention.
Don't fool with me.
Did you know he sawed off the head of the rabbi at Kaunas?
He shot gypsy children in the woods.
He walked free at Nuremberg
because a witness got acid poured down her throat.
I'll need your deposition.
Come with me.
Let's begin.
Put it down...
...or I'll shoot her.
HANNIBAL: Grutas has the eyes of an arctic wolf.
He knew at once to threaten Mischa to make me put down the spear.
At first...
they needed us for cover in case troops found them.
Later...
they crowded around...
feeling our cheeks and arms.
(men singing in German)
(screams)
(screaming)
Hold her head still. Hold her head still!
Mischa!
Hold it still.
Not in here, boss. Not in here.
- (Mischa cries) - (door slams open)
(Mischa crying)
(spits)
Hannibal!
(Mischa screams)
(sighs)
I promised Mischa.
Promised to make them pay a pound of flesh?
To pay skin for skin?
If they had killed you...
who would punish them then?
The answer is "me." I will.
(rattling)
If you swear to share what you know with me...
then I will let you go.
I swear.
- (presses intercom button) - Jacques...
He knows something.
He'll lead us to Grutas, then we'll arrest him.
The court has to declare him insane.
Then in the asylum, the doctors can study him and find out what he is.
POPIL: The little-boy-Hannibal died in 1944 out in that snow.
His heart died with Mischa.
What he is now...
there's no word for it...
...except "monster."
(sniffs)
- (door opens and closes) - (footsteps approaching)
(sighs)
Give these men to the police.
It's Kolnas's children, isn't it?
No.
(breathing heavily)
Promise me.
MISCHA: Hannibal!
I can't.
I already promised Mischa.
(Murasaki pants)
(door opens and closes)
(footsteps, people chattering)
(clock ticks)
(clock ticking)
(fire crackling)
(explosion)
(car passing by)
(distant chattering)
(car drives on)
(chattering)
(engine stops)
Get out.
(owls hooting)
Give us your identification.
(sniffs)
Where is Milko?
I don't know, and I don't give a damn.
You paid me to bring you this piano.
Get my bike down.
(owl hoots)
(Murasaki sighs)
(inhales)
(gasps)
Shh...
Don't worry. I won't hit you again.
(whimpers)
I like you now.
(whimpering)
- (Grutas grunts) - (woman gasps)
Maybe I fix your teeth.
I want steam.
Turn it up.
- (cocks gun) - (gunfire)
I'm glad you're here.
I always felt I owed you something.
(jingles)
(inhales quickly)
I thought you would be bigger.
I put your face on every bully I ever hurt.
- (grunts) - (glass shatters)
Kill him.
(groans)
(groaning)
(flicks lighter open)
(groaning, grunting)
(groans)
Answer me this--
Would you have fed me to your little sister because you loved her?
Yes.
There.
There you have it.
Love!
I love myself that much, and I will never apologize to you.
(thud)
GRUTAS: Cut him.
Wait! Look at me.
And it won't hurt so much.
(Grutas groans)
(yelling)
- (woman grunts) - Bitch!
- (woman grunting) - (gunfire)
(woman screams)
(panting)
Get him! Go!
- Call Kolnas. - Okay.
(phone rings)
(phone ringing)
To continue our conversation...
Do you wish to see... Lady Murasaki... alive?
(crunches)
Yes.
(crunching)
- (grunts) - (birds chirp)
(Murasaki grunts)
Listen to her.
Speak to your little fuck boy.
(breathing heavily)
Listen...
Listen carefully...
(birds chirping)
GRUTAS: I offer you a life for a life.
Bring me everything you have--
the dog tags, pot watcher's little inventory, every fucking thing!
- Where? - Kilometer 36 on the way to Trilbardou.
There is a telephone kiosk.
Be there at sunrise and wait for a call.
If you are not there, I will send her cheeks... in the mail!
A life for a life.
- (hangs up receiver) - (dial tone)
(birds chirping)
(breathes in)
I know your asshole... will look just like a violet.
(crunches)
(crunching)
- (Grutas moans) - (Murasaki grunts)
Take her away.
Kolnas, bring me a jar. (sniffs)
Kill him at the telephone kiosk.
Bring his balls to the boat.
CAPTAIN: Ready to sail, sir.
- (Murasaki grunting) - GRUTAS: Come on!
(Murasaki pants)
I'm sorry. Your, uh, room isn't quite ready yet.
I'll contact room service.
Please...
Eva!
Clean up the treatment room. Our old guests are leaving.
(speaking foreign language)
GRUTAS: We have a new one checking in.
(banging loudly)
Get out.
See that Dieter cleans them up good before Achmed sees them.
Don't bite the women. Bite Achmed's gold.
Drive straight through to Marseille.
(horns blare)
You know what will happen...
...if you don't give me some, please.
(sniffs)
(birds chirping quietly)
(Hannibal whistles)
Good evening, Herr Kolnas.
You drink better wine than you serve.
I'm calling the police.
HANNIBAL: May I get them for you?
What did I do to you?
Aside from eating my sister, nothing.
Are you wearing your dog tag, Herr Kolnas?
Many people look like me. Are you sure you have the right person?
I was slave labor for the Nazis in the war.
I lost family, too. I understand.
HANNIBAL: Well, to improve your understanding,
I went by your home on the Rue Juliana.
I went into the children's room...
with the sleeping child.
And... I picked up something for your oven.
(whimpering)
It's a beef roast, Kolnas.
Do you see how it feels?
(grunts)
(screams and sizzling)
Lunatic!
(screams)
Where is my daughter?
What did you do to her?
Your daughter is safe, Herr Kolnas.
I'll give her back to you when you give me Lady Murasaki.
If I do that, then I am a dead man.
No.
Grutas will be arrested.
I won't remember your face.
Help me...
...or I'll leave the child to starve.
Where is Lady Murasaki?
Grutas has a houseboat.
A canal boat. He moves around.
Where's the boat?
In the Canal l'Ourcq, west of Meux.
Where is my child?
Hello.
ASTRID: Hello.
- Hello, Astrid? - Yes.
Look at the children.
- Why? - Just do it!
(door opens)
The children are fine.
They're sleeping.
Petras?
Hello? Petras?
You tricked me.
No.
I kept my word.
I spare your life for the sake of your children.
(gasps)
(gurgling)
(crunching)
Your boyfriend...
...ate Dortlich's face.
(ship horn blows)
Jean, tie her up. I'll go astern.
(screams)
Help!
Grab it!
- Grab it! - (shouting)
Hold it!
(screaming)
(muffled scream)
No!
Hannibal!
Shot in the spine, my little Männlein.
Can't feel your legs?
Too bad.
You won't feel it when I cut off your balls.
A present for you.
A velvet bag.
Can you see?
Good.
Look at this.
I can put some color in her cheeks.
- (moans) - (grunts)
(gasps)
(straining)
(gasps)
(screams)
Where is Grentz?
If I tell you...
...will you kill me quickly?
Yes.
A village in Canada.
Near Saskatoon.
(groaning)
Stop, Hannibal.
Give him to Popil.
He ate my sister.
(laughs)
So did you.
You ate her, too,
so why don't you kill yourself?
No.
Pot watcher fed her to you in a broth.
Liar.
You have to... kill...
...everyone who knows it, don't you?
You ate her...
...half-conscious.
Your little lips greedy around the spoon.
(screams)
(growling)
(screaming)
(screams)
No! Hannibal stop!
Stop! Stop!
(screams)
"M" for Mischa.
(gasps and gurgles)
(strained laughing)
Stop.
Stop now.
Forgive them.
Never.
I love you.
What is left in you to love?
(screams)
(screaming)
(police radio chatter)
No, none.
Find me the captain.
I came as soon as I heard.
Where is Hannibal?
Come on.
Hannibal!
- Call the fire brigade! - Yes, Inspector.
Take some men, get down there.
(dogs barking)
Hannibal.
(bell dings)
GRENTZ: Coming.
(clinking)
(dings bell)
GRENTZ: Yes?
I came to collect a head.
(whistling "Das Männlein im Walde")
(clinking)
