Sicario
Kate Macer runs tactical responses for the FBI with a true believer's conviction; the rules are the floor, not the ceiling. The moment she joins Graver's operation she finds the floor has been removed entirely. Every briefing withholds more than it reveals. Every protocol she reaches for evaporates on contact with this environment. Her catalyst is belief in outcome; her collision is discovering that outcome requires her to be used rather than trusted. The team needs her signature, her legitimacy, her federal credentials as institutional camouflage. The more she pursues transparency the further she recedes from relevance. Her defining vice is persistence: she will not stop demanding to understand a mission that was never designed to be understood by her.

While work at Tillman and Associates was where she ultimately collapsed, Liz feels the financial pressure to go back to work as Gabe, without a wage per se, completes his latest recording. Tillman also has mixed feelings about Liz's return as although he will admit that she was a financial benefit to the company when she was well, her collapse led to the company losing lucrative business. During this crucial recovery time, Liz and Gabe are approached by a young woman, 19-year-old Caitlin Patterson, stating that she believes she might be Gabe's biological daughter, and Gabe admits that before he knew Liz he had a brief relationship with Caitlin's mother, Elaine Patterson. Caitlin only found out about Gabe's existence and the probability of he being her biological father among Elaine's possessions after she passed away the previous month, leaving Caitlin destitute and homeless. While Gabe and Caitlin go to have a blood test, Liz and Gabe welcome down-and-out Caitlin into their home for the several days until they get the results. While Liz seemed to be on the mend prior to meeting Caitlin, her life begins to unravel both at home and at work, and she has both a feeling and circumstantial evidence that Caitlin is the source of all her problems. Or, as she questions her own judgment, is she just falling back into the issues that landed her in the hospital in the first place?

The Silence of the Lambs
F.B.I. trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) works hard to advance her career, while trying to hide or put behind her West Virginia roots, of which if some knew, would automatically classify her as being backward or white trash. After graduation, she aspires to work in the agency's Behavioral Science Unit under the leadership of Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn). While she is still a trainee, Crawford asks her to question Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins), a psychiatrist imprisoned, thus far, for eight years in maximum security isolation for being a serial killer who cannibalized his victims. Clarice is able to figure out the assignment is to pick Lecter's brains to help them solve another serial murder case, that of someone coined by the media as "Buffalo Bill" (Ted Levine), who has so far killed five victims, all located in the eastern U.S., all young women, who are slightly overweight (especially around the hips), all who were drowned in natural bodies of water, and all who were stripped of large swaths of skin. She also figures that Crawford chose her, as a woman, to be able to trigger some emotional response from Lecter. After speaking to Lecter for the first time, she realizes that everything with him will be a psychological game, with her often having to read between the very cryptic lines he provides. She has to decide how much she will play along, as his request in return for talking to him is to expose herself emotionally to him. The case takes a more dire turn when a sixth victim is discovered, this one from who they are able to retrieve a key piece of evidence, if Lecter is being forthright as to its meaning. A potential seventh victim is high profile Catherine Martin (Brooke Smith), the daughter of Senator Ruth Martin (Diane Baker), which places greater scrutiny on the case as they search for a hopefully still alive Catherine. Who may factor into what happens is Dr. Frederick Chilton (Anthony Heald), the warden at the prison, an opportunist who sees the higher profile with Catherine, meaning a higher profile for himself if he can insert himself successfully into the proceedings.
