In the movie Red Dragon there are two serial killings. The Leeds family in Atlanta, Georgia and the Jacobi family in Birmingham, Alabama. Jack Crawford played by Harvey Keitel and Will Graham played by Ed Norton are the FBI agents on the case.
At the beginning Hanibal is being used as a consultant by Will Graham when Will suspects the killer of a case he's working on is eating the sweetbreads of his victim. He's getting too close to Hanibal when Hanibal stabs him with a knife saying "Every game must have an ending." Will recovers and Hanibal goes to prison serving nine concurrent life sentences. Hanibal was found to have killed and canabalized many victims.
Jack Crawford is stuck on the Leeds - Jacobi case so he goes to Marathon, Fla. to talk to Will Graham. He is able to get Will to help him with his God given intuition and Will visits the Leeds and Jacobi homes in Georgia and Alabama respectively. The Leeds home is a split level house with a large back yard. The upstairs bedrooms are all blood covered and all of the mirrors in the house are broken and small mirror pieces are inserted into the orbital sockets of all of the victims. We can begin to profile the killer as having a very low self esteem.
The actual killer is a man named Francis Dolarhyde played by R. Finnes who in character has been abused for many years by his grandmother who ran a nursinghome. The home is a run down large white rambling home with a all around porch. To make things worse he has an ugly scar on his upper lip. He is obsessed with the Red Dragon image in the book of Revelations in the Bible. In his sick mind the more victims he kills the more powerful like the Red dragon he becomes.
Will Graham discovers the Red Dragon image cut into a tree in the back yard of one of the victims houses. Jacobi's I think. He takes this to Hanibal in his prison cell and Hanibal says this boy begins to interest me. The big problem is how is Francis Dolarhyde choosing his victims?
