scene: Will and Hannibal get dressed simultaneously


scene: Will's trial

Public prosecutor: "Something else you should know about Will Graham: he has remarkable visual memory; he's keenly insightful to the human condition; and... I would argue, the smartest person in this room."
Hannibal smiles at Will.


Jack: "The timing's deliberate. It was choreographed to drop the ear at the beginning of Will's trial."

Hannibal: "Such a gift has great significance."

Jack: "A gift from who?

Hannibal: "Will claimed someone else committed the crimes he's accused of."

Jack: "He said that person was you."

Hannibal: "Perhaps he was half right."


Hannibal: "It seems you have an admirer."

Will: "You think someone sent me an ear because they admire me?"

Hannibal: "The boundaries of what's considered normal are getting narrower. Outside those boundaries, this may be intended as a helpful gesture."

Will: "How far would you go to help me?"

Hannibal: "It hadn't occurred to me to send you an ear. But I'm grateful someone has."

Will: "Gratitude has a short half-life."

Hannibal: "So can doubt. I have new thoughts about who you are. There may very well be another killer."

Will: "I want there to be."

Hannibal: "Some part of you still suspects me."

Will: "I don't know what anyone is capable of anymore, least of all myself. But, um... I know there is no evidence against you."

Hannibal: "There never was."

Will: "And accusing you makes me look insane. I'm not insane. Not anymore."

Hannibal: "And you may not be guilty. This ear you were sent is an opportunity. If someone else is responsible for your crimes, perhaps he now wants to be seen."

Will: "Why would he want to be seen now?"

Hannibal: "He cares what happens to you."


Hannibal: "What impact could this have on Will's trial?"

Jack: "This murder raises serious doubts about the case against Will Graham."


Will: "My admirer?"

Hannibal: "Yes. The forensic report from the crime scene. What do you see?"

Will: "I shoot Mr. Sykes once, collapsing lungs, tearing through his heart's aorta and pulmonary arteries. He will die believing we were friends. It is his last thought. His death isn't personal. He is merely the ink from which flows my poem. My tribute. This is my design. It's not the same killer. He murdered his victim first, and then mutilated him. Cassie Boyle's lungs were removed when she was still breathing. Georgia Madchen was burned alive. What I... what... what I found of Abigail was cut off while her heart was beating."
