An elaborate subplot was scripted and largely filmed, but simplified for the final movie. Based on Hannibal Lecter's tip, Jack Crawford requests the Johns Hopkins Hospital to check if Buffalo Bill could be among the men rejected for gender reassignment. After initial resistance due to privacy issues, the hospital relents and cooperates. When the fake FBI deal with Lecter falls through, Crawford and Clarice discuss possible repercussions (he is probably facing early retirement). Crawford wants Clarice to return to the Academy, but she offers instead to go back to Hannibal for one last talk, and to check Catherine Martin's apartment for more clues. At Catherine's room, she is confronted with an angry senator Martin and Paul Krendler; the latter informs her that both she and Crawford are now off the case, and orders her to take a plane back to the Academy. This is why during their final meeting in the movie, Hannibal asks Clarice if she came for "one last wheedle before [you and Crawford are] booted off the case", and the guard says he has orders to put her on a plane. After Lecter's escape, Clarice and Crawford present their suspicions about Buffalo Bill possibly knowing his first victim to the FBI Director. However, the Director and Krendler are only interested in blaming them for Lecter's escape; Clarice is suspended from the Academy, and Crawford ordered to take a leave of absence after transferring the case. Clarice asks Crawford's permission to go to Belvedere as a civilian to re-investigate the first victim's room with her new perspective. He reluctantly agrees, giving her money and a phone number where she can reach him. When she calls Crawford later, he tells her he was reinstated because Lecter's tip fortunately checked out. The climax was also scripted slightly different: as Clarice shoots Bill, no window is broken; the scene continues in pitch black, with Clarice only hearing Bill's dying gasps. Some of these deleted scenes can be viewed on the DVD edition.
