Previously on "Clarice"...

Ruth: Two dead women floated
down the Anacostia River.

Somebody sliced them
to ribbons.

Krendler: Stab wounds.
Bite marks.

Looks like a serial guy
to me.

Clarice: Sir,
that man is a professional.

He was paid to clean up after
some kind of clinical trial.

Those women
were whistleblowers.

You will go to the press,
and you will tell them

that these murders were
the work of a serial killer.

Thanks to the ViCAP Task Force,
we got the guy.

And they were not random victims
of a serial killer.

They died trying to tell
a story.

A story that isn't over.

Twizzlers and Diet Coke
are food groups now?

Oh, I see.

We're starting the day
cleaning a deadly weapon.

Okay.

Enough of that.

They're gonna
make you apologize.

You goingto apologize?

This is not
a serial killer.

It's a series of killings.

Krendler issued a statement
that I spoke prematurely,

and that all the evidence
I found was inconclusive.

He has to salvage
an investigation

that you just
kicked into the toilet

by letting the bad guys know
we're onto them.

Someone had to speak up
for those families.

And you know better.

I know!

I know.

I lost control.

I shouldn't have said it
that way.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

You also
shot a guy yesterday.

You haven't done that
since Bill.

Think that might have
something to do with it?

Maybe.

I don't know, Ardelia.

Maybe I should just
go back to the BSU lab.

Good.

Hide like a bridge troll.

Your best is in the field.

You know that.

But here's the thing.

Going rogue like that

sends your team the message
that you don't trust them.

That's no way
for anyone to survive out there.

I know.
You know.

You know.

I better know you
if you calling this early.

Clarke: Starling there?Oh.

We need her here ASAP.Yes.

Starling.

Male reporter: A siege is
under way in Eastern Tennessee.

It began early this morning
when an ATF agent...

Female reporter: ...when an
ATF agent was shot and wounded

by a fringe militia group

who call themselves
The Statesmen.

The agent is being treated
at a local hospital

and is expected to make
a full recovery.

The incident began...Male reporter:
The incident began

when the agent was prevented
from serving a warrant.

The leader of the group,
Lucas Novak,

has issued a statement

that he will not allow
the federal government...

So, how long has it been?

When's the last time you went
back to "Appalaysha"?

Appalachia.

It's been years.

A lot of old ghosts.

Lucas Novak, standard-issue
country gentleman,

described as "charismatic."

Novak leads a group that calls
themselves The Statesmen.

Started off
as a hillbilly rehab clinic

and somehow turned into

a heavily armed
secessionist militia

who want to form their own state
within Tennessee.

The Statesmen
shot an ATF agent

serving a search warrant.

He's in stable condition,

but now we're in the middle
of a standoff.

So, let me address
the elephant in the room.

This won't be another Waco.

Those of us who were there know

it was a cluster
seven different ways.

This is Tennessee.

It's the AG's home state,
and she sent ViCAP.

We want the weapons,
we want the shooter,

we want to make it home.

Good?

Good.
Good.

Special Agent
Paul Krendler.

Sheriff Tucker Rowan.

Pleased to have you
on the scene.

We know there are women inside.
Any kids?

No reports
of children among them.

And no word
from anyone inside?

They don't acknowledge
federal authority.

That's why they wouldn't let ATF
serve the warrant.

They're not gonna
give us the shooter,

and they want the feds
off the property.

What were you guys
looking for?

Our intel says
they're strapped --

modified rifles,
black market stuff.

So we'd better
use caution,

'cause we both know
how fast this can go south.

Let's get
that PA system going.You got it.

Need to talk
to the man inside.

Starling.

A word.

Agent Krendler, I want to --No.

I talk, you listen.

I want to be clear --
When we get back to Washington,

I'm gonna formally request
your transfer off of ViCAP.

Yes, sir.

Clarke.
Yeah.

You're on Starling.

Have her set up cell towers.
Keep her away from the press.

You went wildly off-script
at the press conference.

The only reason you're here

is because I don't trust you
out of my sight.

If you can't follow orders,

you're gonna get somebody
killed today.

Got it.

Krendler:
ATF's pretty hopped up.

I understand.
One of theirs is down.

I've been at this 30 years.

And now you got this.

Met Novak a dozen times.

Seemed smart, decent,
really wanted to help people.

Eccentric, sure,
but we got a lot of eccentrics.

Think he'd light up that place,
risk everyone inside?

I don't know.

But why does a man keep
that many automatic weapons?

10 steps forward,
you're in speaker range.

Thanks.

What?

Did you have a criminal profiler
at Waco for Koresh?

You want to tell me it would've
worked out differently

if we just maybe
listened to the shrink?

I wasn't there.
I wouldn't say that.

Good.
I was gonna say

that behavioral science can be
used for your offense, too.

Anyone who lives
like this, the --Delusional crap?

The mental effort it takes
to hold it all together.

It's a lot to maintain.

Spinning plates.
A lot of pressure.

You shouldn't
be here, Starling.

Well, Krendler's gonna
transfer me.

Shouldn't be at the Bureau.

I --
Look, I get it.

I'm just ViCAP's resident
knuckle dragger.

But you broke ranks
at the press conference.

Maybe you regret it
maybe not.

But something's eating you,
and that's true wherever you go.

And if you stay in the field,

Krendler's right --
we're all at risk.

Yes, sir.

You tell me you sleep
eight hours a night yourself,

and I'll hand in my credentials
right now.

Wire cutter
ain't worth a damn.

I'll get you a new pair.

My toolbox is in the tent.

Reesey!

Reesey!

The police are here!

Something happened to Daddy.

We got to get home.

Wait! Please!

Are you from inside?

My name's
Clarice Starling, FBI.

What's your name?

Wait!

Was that a kid?

Heat-mapping says 20 people
inside, armed to the teeth.

The blueprints on file
don't show

anywhere near
this square footage.

House has been added onto
over the years.

Probably carved up
like a rabbit warren inside.

Boss, there's a kid
in the house.

You said there were
no children.

Could be some local kid
checking out the commotion.

He ran into
the farmhouse, sir.

This changes things.

Get me the Attorney General
on the line.

Man: There's
movement at the front door.

Please advise. It's a boy.

There's something in his hand.

It does not appear
to be a weapon.

I repeat, it does not
appear to be a weapon.

Lucas Novak wants to talk!

But he'll only talk
to the woman I saw.

He wants to talk,
but only to her.

Esquivel: So, the transmitter's
built into the clip.

We'll hear everything,
but he won't see it.

Alright, alright,
here, let me.

You going somewhere
after this?

Half the people in that file
are young women.

Lucas Novak collects them.
He controls them,

even if it is
getting them clean.

And you really believe
that's what he's doing?

I believe
he's a narcissist.

I want him to think I took
the time to put my face on

before he saw me.

Okay, are we good?

Yeah. We'll get pretty much
everything you say in there,

but, uh, try to get close
if you can, okay?

That a good idea?Probably not.

We can hide a weapon
for you.

Maybe I can't trust them,
but they've got to trust me.

Okay.

We want to trust you, too,
you know.

I'm a counter sniper.
I work alone,

but I can't do a damn thing
without my team.

The team clears a space
for me to work.

I clear the space
for the team.

You don't trust us,
we can't trust you.

Where's that leave anybody?

He doesn't just want you
in there because you're a woman.

You're also
Clarice Starling.

You're all over the news.

It's a power play.

If you get in trouble in there,
look for us.

Let us know where you are.
We'll be there.

Alright, then.

Just give me five minutes
to get into position, okay?

Good afternoon.
This is the official statement

from the Department of Justice.

The militia group The Statesmen
have reached out,

and we have begun communication.

When did she record this?A few hours ago.

Her plane's already touched down
here in Tennessee.

She's on her way.

I'm traveling there because I am
a human being who understands

that every person in there
is someone's child.

I've already sent down ViCAP,
my team,

and the woman who saved the life
of my daughter.

They're talking she might
run for governor down here.

So it has to be
a nuanced resolution,

not rolling in the tanks.

What if Novak decides
to start World War III

with Starling in there?

But my promise to the American
people is that we will not leave

until there is
a peaceful resolution.

Thank you.

Man: Starling is moving
into position.

Man #2: Jones,
we count four hostiles

on the roof facing
southeast.

Copy that, I see them.

Moore, watch your 3:00.

We got two more armed hostiles
on the balcony.

Esquivel:
I got eyes on Starling.

She's with the boy.

Hey, there.

I brought y'all
some food.

I'm Clarice.

Are you famous?

Sort of.

I saw you rubbing
your shoulder.

Did you fall
or something?

You know
he saw you on TV?

I like cartoons.

My mom's friends
like soaps,

even though TV
is bad for you.

So, is that
who you live with?

Your mom
and her friends?

Yeah.

My brother and I,

we used to watch
the Roadrunner.

I don't like him 'cause
he don't talk.

She's making her way
toward the house.

All those crazy
artificial colors

are gonna kill you
someday.

You know what I see when I look
at these gifts you brought?

The clutches of
late-stage capitalism.

No one knows what real nectar
tastes like anymore.

It's all just chemicals.

Yellow's just a number.
Red ain't red.

I think that's why
all these people

are losing themselves now,
don't you?

I'm not sure I follow, sir.

The commodification
of a person.

We're all just
receptacles for corporations

to pour chemicals into.

Is it any wonder
when someone goes real dark,

starts to cut us apart?

When there's no person
left inside anymore.

Come on, Peter.
Come on.

Go watch your
stories on the TV.

Maggie.

Wouldn't be proper for a man
to lay hands on you.

I appreciate
your consideration.

I'm Special Agent
Clarice Starling.

But I'm guessing Peter
already told you my name.

Oh, sure, sure.

You're the person
who's been looking into

the terrifying mouth of
what we're all slowly becoming.

I'm pleased to make
your acquaintance.

You know, Buffalo Bill...

Buffalo Bill was a man
who breaks my heart, actually.

Thinking somebody would care for
him if he was different.

But who hasn't
thought that, hmm?

That Kentucky I hear
in your accent?

West Virginia, sir.

Then I imagine what you see
here is all too familiar.

How's a good girl like you
become a fed, Clarice?

Only place to go
was up or out.

There's always down,
isn't there?

I didn't think you'd, uh,

have a sense
of humor, sir.

I can't help myself.

No, I hate the feds.

But you...

you are what
this country's all about.

Or should be.

I'd like to
shake your hand.

Oh.

Used to hard work.

Dry hands.

Maggie.
Ew.

I hate this guy.

Castor oil and rose water
will take care of that.

That's really
not necessary --

No, no, no,
it's my pleasure.

You'll like it,
right, Emma?

I sure do.

I know how hard
that road is to up and out.

You have to give up a lot,
leave people behind.

Did you leave
behind people?

Family?

Someone who didn't
get up or out?

Now, don't --
Don't wipe it

on your clothes.

It'll stain.

M-Mr. Novak, a federal agent was
shot on your property.

We need the shooter.

We need to get in here
and search the place.

You know this.

There's steps to this going
away, and I need to take them.

I-I truly don't know who
shot your man, Clarice.

I know it's unorthodox
what I do here.

I get people clean

'cause I won't take the padlock
off the damn door for two weeks

while they shiver so hard
they think they're gonna die,

and I know that looks like
unlawful imprisonment,

but we are dying
down here.

I built something.

And I can't let the feds
take it away from us.

You know your law,
but that's not what

we're here to do, sir.

Wasn't there someone
in your life

could've used
someone like me?

I know there was.
I can see it in your eyes.

My brother.

S-Sir, I find it strange

that you don't know
who the shooter is.

This is your place.

I saw you look at Emma's
little one, our Rabbit.

I thought maybe you had
a kid of your own,

but now I see
it different.

You had a brother.

Maybe some of your people
know something

about what happened
here today.

You ever make leather
britches out of beans?

String them up to dry.

All the time when
I was little.

Please.

Emma, we're gonna need
more green beans.

Mama, was that Daddy's cap?

What happened to Daddy? I want
to know what happened to Daddy.

Woman: Clarice, tell your
brothers and sister

to wash up
and come to the table.

Sir, may I please
use the restroom?

You were still a trainee
when you stopped Buffalo Bill

from skinning and killing
more women.

These things make me think
this agent needs to be

out of rotation until
she can heal from PTSD

of the most
egregious kind.

Don't.

Don't.

Novak: Oh, she's on the edge.
Now's the time.

Tell the boys on the roof to
start raising hell.

Man: FBI security,

we are approaching with
the Attorney General.

Two minutes out.

Statesman: Get off
our damn land, pigs!

Incoming! Incoming!

Take cover!Take cover, take cover!

Esquivel:
We've got a situation.

Hostiles on the roof
riling up ATF.

Aah!

-Take cover.
-We just got shot at!

Man:
Open fire! Open fire!

Who fired?

One of ours misfired.

Who the hell is shooting?

This is getting bad.

Agent Starling!
Agent Starling!

Okay, wait!
Y-Your people need you.

Got to get everybody
out here safely.

Just let my team come in.

It can't be the feds.

My people are scared
of the feds.

Local sheriff --
it has to be.

Come on! Come, come, come!
Get that sheriff in here.

Starling?
Are you there?

Starling?

If you're in there,
Starling, take cover.

Starling, do you copy?

Clarice: This is Starling
inside the house.

Hold fire, hold fire!

Novak says he'll negotiate,

but only with local
law enforcement.

Hodge, cease fire.

The Attorney General is here.
Cease fire.

Hold your fire!

Lower your weapons!

Our time here's coming
to an end, Agent Starling.

I saw you were upset
when you went in the bathroom.

Tell me about "don't."

"Don't"?

What makes you say that word
to yourself?

Rowan: Lucas Novak,
we're coming in!

That's far as you go!

We ain't gonna shoot,
but we don't want to

get shot at neither.

That's the way I look
at it, too, Lucas.

Go.

I'm Sheriff Rowan.

You all right,
Agent Starling?

Yes, sir.
We still don't have a shooter.

They gonna back off?

Not until the shooter
is in custody.

I don't know who he is.

I'll show you my armory --
show of good faith.

Hell, maybe the weapon
he used is in there.

David.

You've done
a fine job here.

Agent Krendler wants you
back at command

now that we got
the area secure.

Sir, the boy's
still inside.

We'll find him.

Don't be a stranger, now.

Esquivel: Clarice,
what are you doing?

Clarke: Agent Merengue,
switch to channel Adam 4.

Esquivel to Agents Sad
and Flaccid, over.

Who shot first,
ATF or Statesmen?

Statesmen were throwing bottles,
but ATF definitely shot first.

Well, it'd be good to find out
if local ATF are friendlies.

Can we do that quietly?

I don't trust anyone
at headquarters

not to blab to the ATF.

You don't trust
anybody, period.

I do.

Starling has a friend back
at Buzzard's Point.

Find Ardelia Mapp.

Tripathi, put more paper
in your fax machine.

There's a lot coming.

Everyone on that ATF unit
down there turned up clean.

Okay, there's a contact
I trust from Quantico.

It turns out he's been keeping
a file on, and I quote,

"That crooked son of a bitch
Sheriff Rowan for years,

but nothing ever sticks."

You think all the assault
weapons might've got the feds

interested in you?This is on you.

ATF showing up at my door.
You're losing it.

Yeah, well, who shot
the agent on your watch?

I don't know!You got to hand him over.

Get rid of the feds,
I'll find out.

We got to
give 'em someone.

Once they have
someone in custody,

they'll pull the hell out.

Maggie.

She's a good girl.
She'll keep quiet.

Extortion, narcotics,
prostitution.

They made an arrest.

Whoever they're
serving up is a patsy.

We only got the shooter 'cause
we agreed to pull out.

We cannot leave while
Novak's in there

with a bunch
of women and a kid.

Sheriff Rowan is wired
deep down here.

We have to be strategic.

We're not escalating.
Pull the team out.

Ma'am?

Do you want
another Waco?

Do it.

Hey.

You got to
get out of here.

Novak told the people
on the roof to throw bottles

at the police.

When you were
in the bathroom.

Why?

He wanted them
to start shooting.

He wanted things
to escalate.

He wanted Rowan in.

Peter, you have
a big old bruise

on your right cheek,

and you've been rubbing
at your shoulder.

Rifles are heavy, and they have
a lot of kickback.

It's like getting
kicked by a mule.

Peter?

Did you shoot
the ATF agent?

I didn't mean
to hurt anyone.

I just wanted
someone to come.

Someone to...

Help?

You were
calling for help.

Why didn't you ask
Sheriff Rowan for help?

Mom says
he's the worst one.

When he gets mad,

my mom's friends end up
dead in the woods.

Okay.

They call you
Rabbit, right?

You got to rabbit
right now.

Get to the command tent.

Go on.

Get.

Female reporter: The standoff
that started early this morning

outside of a Tennessee compound
looks to be coming to an end

as the shooter of the ATF agent
who was shot and...

Male reporter: ...informed us
that the shooter of

the ATF officer has been
identified and arrested

outside of
the Tennessee compound.

I can't believe
she's making us lie down.

New AG got in the sewer
real quick.

Be right back.

Clarice: Agent Krendler,
this is Starling.

Starling, where
the hell are you?

Sir, I'm trying
to be real quiet.

Rowan and Novak are operating
a prostitution ring.

Well, Rowan just made an arrest
for the shooting.

Who confessed, Maggie?

Yes.

She's lying.
They made her confess.

I have evidence video
about the prostitution.

That directly implicates
Sheriff Rowan?

No.

Then end
of discussion.

We have her in custody,
we're pulling out.

That's from the AG.

I'm out of moves
on this side.

She wants to take
the arrest for the win.

Sir, Novak deliberately
escalated things

to get Rowan in because he knew
Rowan would get him out.

I can make Novak give it up,
give them both up.

Sir, I need
your authorization.

I know you have every reason
not to, but I'm asking anyway.

I know guys like this.

You're breaking up.
I can't hear you.

Use your best judgment,
get back here A.S.A.P.

Command out.

Better check
your equipment.

Male reporter:
The incident began

when the agent was prevented
from serving a warrant.

The leader of the group,
Lucas Novak...

Novak:
You're still here?

You come to watch TV?

Clarice: It was on.

They're playing a lot
of stories about you.

They can't get
enough of you.

What the hell is she doing?

She's telling us
where she is.

You pull her out now.

I can't.
Her HT is off.

Esquivel?

You have a line of sight?

Negative. No visual.

I can picture you,

sitting here,
relaxing at night.

You're thinking
about me?

You remind me
of someone.

My father.

My daddy.

He was a sheriff.

A sheriff?

You must've adored him.

You bet I did.

He died before
I left home for good.

You know, he used to take me
for root beer floats.

And the soda jerk who made them,
he was not a kind man.

Wonder why he chose
to be around kids.

Maybe that's why he chose
to be around kids.

Maybe.

Hadn't thought of that.

There was this one time,
we found this neighbor boy

crying 'cause of
the soda jerk's meanness.

If there was one thing
my daddy couldn't stand,

it was someone who picked on
folks weaker than them.

He told the boy
to come inside with us.

And when my daddy,
the sheriff,

walked into that store,

the soda jerk cowered.

He got small.

How did that
make you feel,

seeing the power
your daddy had?

It was...

intoxicating.

Though I didn't have that
word at the time.

How does it feel

when your people...

your women give
themselves over to you?

It feels intoxicating.

And I understand
your daddy.

I have dedicated my life
to helping my girls.

It makes me feel, um...

I don't know, like --
like your daddy felt, I guess.

You're not getting it.

You'rethe soda jerk.

Wait, now.

Oh, geez.

Other men

remind me of my daddy.

Sheriff Rowan,
he has that kind of walk,

that kind of power.

And he'll use it to hurt you,
to punish you.

He can't hurt me.

He's nothing without me.

He's the lawman.
He has the walk.

He feeds me johns.
I pay him.

He's my bitch.

Come on.
Come on, bring it home.

Come on, Lucas,

everyone says that Rowan
is the big dog.

The locals say it. Hell,
Magistrate Cotton says it --

Because Rowan needs
to believe that.

I let him believe that.

All those nitwits down in
government, that Jefferson,

Cotton, McGeary --

McGeary?
Wait, which one is he?

It's the whole damn
courthouse, girl.

I'm the big dog.
They're mine.

You don't talk

when I am talking.

She did it.

Did she just --She got it.

She got every crook
in the courthouse.

I want every copy
of that tape.

Esquivel, you got eyes?

Esquivel:
Negative. No clear shot.

She's with Novak in
the southwest corner.

Lucas Novak,
you are under arrest

for violations of
the Mann Act.

Girl?

We have you on tape operating
a prostitution ring.

Oh, that's smart.

You might have
a little wire on you.

Mm.

But you know what
you don't have?

You don't have backup.

You're pointing your weapon
at a federal officer.

Seems to me
we're all alone.

You want to play police
like your daddy?

Here you are, a little girl
all on your own.

You don't mean nothing
to them feds over there.

That's why I chose you.

That, and I was thinking
it might be nice

to see what was
under that skirt of yours.

Esquivel.

Please, sir,
please let me go.

"Please"?

Come on, girl.

I thought you'd have a little
more fight in you than that.

Sir, you have no idea.

Starling?
Agent Starling,
what's your twenty?!

Agent Starling, come in!What's your twenty?!

Agent Starling?

Novak: He feeds me johns.
I pay him.

He's my bitch.

Clarice: Come on, Lucas,
everyone says that Rowan

is the big dog.

The locals say it. Hell,
Magistrate Cotton says it --

Because Rowan --

Fabric's awfully thin,
Madam Attorney General.

You try to squeeze
those trousers on me,

I might just split 'em
up the back.

These officers have
active Internal Affairs

investigations
against them.

You're Secretary
of the Eastern Tennessee

Fraternal Order
of Police.

There must be
50 names here.

I want half of them
relieved of duty,

or I play this tape
for everyone Novak named,

and you and I both know

that powerful people
don't like trouble.

You have six months to resign,
or I'll fire you publicly.

Clarice: Rowan's not
gonna be prosecuted?

Even with the tape?

Welcome to
the world, Clarice.

It's a long game.

I extract Rowan,
someone takes his place.

I have leverage
thanks to you.

We're getting rid
of dozens of dirty cops,

and in six months, Rowan will
turn state's witness.

How do you know
that, ma'am?

Because men like him
always do.

Ma'am, real people,

decent people have to
live here in all this.

And you're going to say it can't
be a political decision.

And I'm going to say

everything's
a political decision.

I'm taking this
as a win.

You should, too.

Do you want a ride back?

I'm gonna
go with my team.

Earlier today, Agent Krendler
requested I transfer you.

He's concerned I have
some residual trauma from Bill.

Is he right?

Doesn't get
in the way, ma'am.

He withdrew
the request.

You spoke
of your father.

Catherine was close to
her father, too.

My father was a lawman
shot on duty.

I'm so sorry.

I appreciate that.

I wanted to say --

I told you
I had your back.

We all do.

Don't interrupt me.

I was doing you
a favor.

Thanking me might make
your head explode.
