Quotes 

• Lloyd Bowman : What about sweating Lecter?

  Will Graham : We tried sodium amytal on him three years ago to find where he buried a Princeton student; he gave them a recipe for dip.

• Lloyd Bowman : I've solved the code. You need to know what it says right now.

  Jack Crawford : Okay, Lloyd.

  Lloyd Bowman : It says, "Graham home. Marathon, Florida. Save yourself, kill them all."

• Jack Crawford : The Tattler got an ad order signed "666". Baltimore postmark on the envelope. It's set to run this afternoon. Chicago field office is sending the text through now.

  [taking the received fax] 

  Jack Crawford : "Dear Pilgrim."

  Will Graham : That's it. That's it. Lecter called him a pilgrim when we talked.

  Jack Crawford : "You honor me. You are very beautiful." Christ. "I offer 100 prayers for your safety. Find help in John 6:22, 8:16, 9:1, Luke 1:7."

  Will Graham : Code.

  Lloyd Bowman : Has to be.

  Jack Crawford : Hmm.

  [checking his watch] 

  Jack Crawford : We've got 19 minutes to get a message in if we can break this. The Tattler can't hold its presses any longer.

  Lloyd Bowman : It's something simple. They only needed cover against casual readers. I'm thinking it's a book code.

  Jack Crawford : Book code?

  Lloyd Bowman : The first numeral, "100 prayers", could be the page number. The paired numbers after could be line and letter, but what book?

  Jack Crawford : Not the Bible?

  Lloyd Bowman : No, he's got Galatians 15:2 here. Galatians only has six chapters. Same with Jonah 6:8, Jonah has four chapters. He wasn't using a Bible.

  Will Graham : Then the Tooth Fairy named the book to use. He specified it in his note, in the part Lecter tore out.
