1"The Silence Is Over"Maja Vrvilo Jenny Lumet & Alex Kurtzman February 11, 2021 (2021-02-11)4.00 [10]
Trainee FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling has been placed on administrative leave with federally-mandated therapy sessions following her harrowing ordeal at the hands of the notorious serial killer Buffalo Bill, though Starling refuses to acknowledge herself as one of his victims. Her concurrent association with the incarcerated cannibalistic serial killer/forensic psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter, who helped her find Bill before using her to escape imprisonment, has poisoned her reputation at the FBI and her relationships with her fellow agents. United States Attorney General Ruth Martin, the mother of the only girl Starling was able to save from Bill, assigns Starling to her new VICAP task force, a team dedicated to hunting down murderers, serial killers and sexual predators despite Starling's reservations. She is given a cold welcome by the task force commander Paul Krendler, whom she had previously outmaneuvered and shown up in finding Buffalo Bill and who is dismissive of her methods and public stardom. VICAP's first case involves two bodies washed up in the Anacostia river with the hallmarks of a serial killer, but Starling is not convinced. The FBI investigates and are led to a sinister conspiracy involving drug trials and parents with children with special needs though Krendler maintains belief in a serial killer. Ultimately Clarice disregards orders and declares before the news cameras that the murders were not due to a serial killer.
2"Ghosts of Highway 20" Doug Aarniokoski Elizabeth J. B. Klaviter & Kenneth Lin February 18, 2021 (2021-02-18)4.08 [11]
Clarice Starling and the rest of the FBI's VICAP team are sent to Tennessee, where local and federal law enforcement are in a tense standoff at a heavily armed militia compound. Clarice takes a leading role in the negotiations after she bumps into a young boy who's snuck out of the compound. He alerts the leader of the group, named Novak (Tim Guinee), to Clarice's presence. Novak insists he will negotiate with no one but her. Clarice goes into the compound, wearing a wire, and bonds with Novak over their shared Appalachian upbringing. When Clarice excuses herself to the bathroom to pull herself together after he brings up painful memories of her brother, Novak, who spies on her through a one-way mirror, opts to escalate the confrontation. An exchange of gunfire with the agents surrounding the compound ensues, and the local sheriff is brought in to complete the negotiations. Meanwhile, Clarice takes advantage of the confusion to snoop around the compound. She runs into the boy again, and realizes he was the shooter, who pulled the trigger as a cry for help. She also discovers a hidden passage through which Novak can spy on and record the doings of his militia members—specifically the women, whom he chains up and pimps out. The sheriff and many other locals were either on Novak's payroll or customers for his sex trafficking ring. Clarice manages to get Novak to admit to all this on the wire. When he realizes this, he nearly kills her, but Clarice drops down out of the way so her sniper teammate Esquivel can kill the militia leader before he can kill Clarice. Rather than throw the book at the crooked sheriff, Attorney General Martin makes a deal with him: He can spend the next few months firing dirty and abusive cops before resigning himself, or she can blow up his spot and ruin him right then and there.
