Quotes

• Will: There was no partner. This artist worked alone until he was stitched into his own creation.

Katz: No signs of a struggle.

Will: No. So this second killer, whoever he is, understood the Muralist well enough not just to find his canvas, but well enough to convince him to be part of it.

Katz: You have an idea who that might be?

Will: I do.

Katz: Don't say Hannibal Lecter.

Will: I'm saying Hannibal Lecter.

Katz: Didn't you stop ringing that bell?

Will: I'm not asking you to believe anything you can't prove. I'm just asking you to prove it.

Katz: Hannibal Lecter has no reason--

Will: That is exactly right. He has no discernible reason other than his own amusement and curiosity.
