One high ranking official, Paul Krendler (Ray Liotta) has it in for her. But she gets a reprieve because Mason Verger (Gary Oldman), one of Lecter's victims who is looking to get back at Lecter for what Lecter did to him, wants to use Starling to lure him out.

But a corrupt Policeman, who wants to get the reward that Verger placed on him, tells Verger where he is, but they fail to get him.
