After your father's murder, you were orphaned.
You went to live with cousins on a sheep and horse ranch in Montana. And?
And one morning I just ran away.
Not "just", Clarice. What set you off?
- You started at what time? - Early. Still dark.
Then something woke you, didn't it? Was it a dream? What was it?
I heard a strange noise.
What was it?
It was *******. Some kind of *******. Like a child's voice.
What did you do?
I went downstairs. Outside. I crept up into the barn.
I was so scared to look inside, but I had to.
What did you see, Clarice? What did you see?
*******. They were serioning..
They were slaughtering the spring *******?
And they were screaming.
- And you ran away? -
No. First I tried to free them.
I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run.
They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't run.
But you could - and you did, didn't you?
