  What I wanted to point out is that there are two conclusions to
  reach regarding Leland.  He breaks into sobbing dances and has all
  types of other behaviour that befit someone gone over the deep 
  end.  I believe that he was the Heavy Breather, he smothered
  Jacques, and he shot Cooper.  That said, he's either insane or
  performing an insane routine to mask more devious purposes.
  I'm just leaning towards the second conclusion.

  Great stuff.  Although the Red Dragon based movie, Manhunter, was
  extremely disappointing, I still have some hope that the upcoming
  Silence of The Lambs movie will be well done.
