Will Graham, (Edward Norton), retired after his messy experience with Lecter and lived in Marathon, Florida with his wife played by Mary-Louise Parker and small son. Jack Crawford of the FBI came to visit one afternoon and at first Will didn't want anything to do with the Red Dragon Case, but then agreed to examine the Leeds' house and the Jacobi's house in Atlanta and Birmingham respectively.
When Will went back to Atlanta to the Leeds house he started looking through the drawers where the video tape was stored and he came upon a video called "The Deeds of the Leeds" showing Mrs. Leeds coming back after shopping with the kids. I immediately noticed that Mrs. Leeds was a very attractive woman and I thought that might have something to do with why he chose that family. I was right. Francis Dolarhyde was a body builder and was attracted to women who were of that persuasion, but were getting ahead of ourselves.
Francis Dolarhyde becomes acquainted with a young blind girl who works in the dark room with all types of film. He invites her to his home, the old nursing home of his grandmothers, and they become friends - more than friends. The girl is played by Emily Watson.
In the meantime Francis wants to look at the real painting of the Red Dragon and so he contacts the Brooklyn Art Museum. Finally he goes to the museum and a woman takes him to the room where the book is that holds the original painting by Robert Blake painted in 1809. He hits the woman over the head and tears strips off the original and begins to eat the painting thinking that if he eats it, in his demented mind it will make him stronger and he will become more and more like the Red Dragon.
In the meantime Jack Crawford and Will Graham are trying to get a handle on who Francis is so they take out an incriminating ad in the "National Tattler" which is a cheap tabloid paper hoping that Francis will come after Will instead of his family.
