1. Previously on Hannibal...
Copy !req
2. Hannibal!
Copy !req
3. We are as close as we are ever
going to get to catching this man.
Copy !req
4. I'm dismantling who I was
and moving it brick by brick.
Copy !req
5. It's the last stage of a transformation.
Copy !req
6. We could disappear now.
Copy !req
7. You've set some sort of trap
and you're goading Hannibal into it.
Copy !req
8. How can you be sure he's not goading you?
Copy !req
9. I can't.
Copy !req
10. I've begun to question your
actions with regards to my attack.
Copy !req
11. I'm no longer your therapist.
Copy !req
12. You are dangerous.
Copy !req
13. - Antony Dimmond.
- Boris Jakov.
Copy !req
14. - I'd offer a hand, but...
- It's a double-fisted
Copy !req
15. kind of bash.
Copy !req
16. Do you know Roman well?
Copy !req
17. You were staring with
the thinly-veiled disdain
Copy !req
18. - of a man who does.
- I was his TA at Cambridge.
Copy !req
19. He was insufferable even then.
Copy !req
20. Have you read his books?
Copy !req
21. They're terrible.
Copy !req
22. You know they're terrible,
you're just too polite to say.
Copy !req
23. Blink if you agree.
Copy !req
24. See?
Copy !req
25. That doesn't stop him
squatting over his keyboard
Copy !req
26. and depositing a fresh one
every six to eight months.
Copy !req
27. It takes me six to eight
months to write one line.
Copy !req
28. Why?
Copy !req
29. Poetry is hard.
Copy !req
30. Too hard for Roman.
Well, it's easier for him
Copy !req
31. to slide into academia and
dissect the work of others
Copy !req
32. than it is to stand by his own words.
Copy !req
33. One can appreciate another's words
Copy !req
34. without dissecting them.
Copy !req
35. Though, on occasion, dissection
is the only thing that will do.
Copy !req
36. Bonsoir.
Copy !req
37. Bonsoir.
Copy !req
38. Bonsoir?
Copy !req
39. Bonsoir.
Copy !req
40. Bonsoir.
Copy !req
41. You really are the Devil.
Copy !req
42. Certainly seem to enjoy it.
Copy !req
43. - You have a click in your hoof.
- The Devil has been a yoke
Copy !req
44. on the neck of humanity since we
first began to think and dream.
Copy !req
45. - I for a much shorter time.
- You admit the yoke.
Copy !req
46. Smells of candy apples
Copy !req
47. and thyme.
Copy !req
48. You smoked me in thyme.
Copy !req
49. Smoked, glazed, served
on a sugar cane quill.
Copy !req
50. You will be falling off the bone.
Copy !req
51. Well, of course. And
with these rarified dishes
Copy !req
52. you so carefully prepare...
Copy !req
53. do we all... Taste different?
Copy !req
54. Everyone has their flavor.
Copy !req
55. Cannibalism was standard
behavior among our ancestors.
Copy !req
56. The missing link was only
missing because we ate him.
Copy !req
57. This isn't cannibalism, Abel.
Copy !req
58. It's only cannibalism if we're equals.
Copy !req
59. This is only cannibalism if you eat me.
Copy !req
60. But you just feel this is
the natural order of things.
Copy !req
61. Everybody gets et.
Copy !req
62. Be he fat or be he lean.
Copy !req
63. With my last leg standing next to me,
Copy !req
64. I should still wrestle with
the urges to fight or flee.
Copy !req
65. It's called "terminal restlessness."
Copy !req
66. The body fills with adrenaline
and feels compelled to go-go-go.
Copy !req
67. "Go-go-go"? I've already gone up and gone.
Copy !req
68. This is posthumous.
Copy !req
69. You're not dead yet,
Abel. You still have to eat.
Copy !req
70. No, I don't.
Copy !req
71. At this point, there is
absolutely nothing I have to do.
Copy !req
72. But I shouldn't spoil
the fairy tale, should I?
Copy !req
73. You and your little gingerbread house.
Copy !req
74. Let it be a fairy tale, then.
Copy !req
75. Once upon a time...
Copy !req
76. - Bellissima.
- Grazie.
Copy !req
77. Dr. Fell,
Copy !req
78. I hope you translate as well as you waltz.
Copy !req
79. - Mrs. Fell.
- Our new appointee
Copy !req
80. was confirmed by the board
after close questioning.
Copy !req
81. You've examined him in medieval Italian
Copy !req
82. and I will not deny
Copy !req
83. his language is...
Copy !req
84. admirable...
Copy !req
85. - Thank you.
- ... for a straniero.
Copy !req
86. Are you familiar with the personalities
Copy !req
87. of pre-Renaissance Florence?
Copy !req
88. I think not.
Copy !req
89. Dr. Fell might hold in his hand -
Copy !req
90. in his non-Italian hand -
Copy !req
91. a note from Dante Alighieri himself.
Copy !req
92. Would he recognize it?
Copy !req
93. I think not.
Copy !req
94. Professor Sogliato, would you
do me the honor of a dance?
Copy !req
95. Of course.
Copy !req
96. "Allegro mi sembrava Amor"
Copy !req
97. "tenendo meo core in mano,
Copy !req
98. "e ne le braccia avea madonna
involta in un drappo dormendo.
Copy !req
99. "Poi la svegliava, e d'esto core ardendo
Copy !req
100. "lei paventosa umilmente pascea,
Copy !req
101. appresso gir lo ne vedea piangendo."
Copy !req
102. Dante's first sonnet.
Copy !req
103. It fascinated Cavalcanti. The eating
of the heart is a powerful image.
Copy !req
104. If he's such an expert on Dante,
Copy !req
105. let him lecture on Dante, to the Studiolo.
Copy !req
106. Let him face them.
Copy !req
107. Extempore.
Copy !req
108. I'm happy to sing for my supper.
Copy !req
109. Professor Sogliato.
Copy !req
110. We are among the palaces
built six hundred years ago
Copy !req
111. by the merchant princes, the kingmakers
Copy !req
112. and the connivers of Renaissance Florence.
Copy !req
113. As connivers of modern Florence.
Copy !req
114. I've found a peace here
Copy !req
115. that I would preserve.
Copy !req
116. I've killed hardly anybody
during our residence.
Copy !req
117. You created a vacancy
Copy !req
118. at the Palazzo Capponi by
removing the former curator.
Copy !req
119. A simple process requiring
a few seconds' work
Copy !req
120. on the old man...
Copy !req
121. and a modest outlay for two bags of cement.
Copy !req
122. You no longer have
ethical concerns, Hannibal.
Copy !req
123. You have aesthetical ones.
Copy !req
124. Ethics become aesthetics.
Copy !req
125. You seem more interested
in making appearances
Copy !req
126. than maintaining them.
Copy !req
127. Would you?
Copy !req
128. If this is about
my position at the Palazzo,
Copy !req
129. once the path was cleared,
Copy !req
130. I won the job fairly.
Copy !req
131. On my merits.
Copy !req
132. Yes, even the most contentious Florentines
Copy !req
133. can't resist the verse of Dante
ringing off of frescoed walls.
Copy !req
134. One contentious Florentine can.
Copy !req
135. Have you given serious thought
to eating Professor Sogliato?
Copy !req
136. My killing Sogliato now
would not preserve the peace.
Copy !req
137. Your peace is without morality.
Copy !req
138. Morality doesn't exist.
Copy !req
139. Only morale.
Copy !req
140. How you feel today.
Copy !req
141. How do you feel today?
Copy !req
142. I still believe I am in conscious control
Copy !req
143. of my actions.
Copy !req
144. Given your history...
Copy !req
145. that's a good day.
Copy !req
146. If you think you're
about to catch Hannibal,
Copy !req
147. it's because he wants you to think that.
Copy !req
148. Don't fool yourself
Copy !req
149. into thinking he's not in
control of what's happening.
Copy !req
150. May I get dressed?
Copy !req
151. You may.
Copy !req
152. What have you done, Hannibal?
Copy !req
153. I've taken off my person suit.
Copy !req
154. You let them see you.
Copy !req
155. I let them see enough.
Copy !req
156. How does it feel...
Copy !req
157. being seen?
Copy !req
158. Well, you're in no position
to ask, Dr. Du Maurier.
Copy !req
159. You ended our patient-
psychiatrist relationship.
Copy !req
160. I lacked the appropriate
skills to continue your therapy.
Copy !req
161. I never found you to be lacking.
Copy !req
162. I'm sorry I didn't provide you
Copy !req
163. with a suitable substitute for therapy.
Copy !req
164. Is Will Graham still alive?
Copy !req
165. Will Graham was not a suitable
substitute for therapy.
Copy !req
166. What was he?
Copy !req
167. Is this professional curiosity?
Copy !req
168. Almost entirely.
Copy !req
169. Do you trust me?
Copy !req
170. Not entirely.
Copy !req
171. Are you taking into consideration
Copy !req
172. my beliefs about your intentions?
Copy !req
173. My intentions?
Copy !req
174. Human motivation can be
little more than lucid greed.
Copy !req
175. Greed...
Copy !req
176. and blind optimism.
Copy !req
177. You're optimistic I won't kill you.
Copy !req
178. Due bottiglie di Bâtard-Montrachet
Copy !req
179. e li tartufi bianchi, per favore.
Copy !req
180. Hello!
Copy !req
181. Bonjour!
Copy !req
182. Mr. Jakov, isn't it?
Copy !req
183. We met in Paris a few months back.
Copy !req
184. Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you,
Copy !req
185. it's just... here I was
and then, there you were...
Copy !req
186. I never forget a face.
Copy !req
187. - Antony Dimmond.
- Nice to be remembered.
Copy !req
188. - You're hard to forget.
- What are you doing in Florence?
Copy !req
189. - Are you working with Roman?
- Dr. Fell?
Copy !req
190. I heard he took an appointment
at the Capponi Library.
Copy !req
191. Yes, he's the new curator and
translator at the Palazzo Capponi.
Copy !req
192. Evidently, the last one eloped with a woman
Copy !req
193. or someone's money or both.
Copy !req
194. That's the commonly held belief.
Copy !req
195. - You just missed Roman.
- Did I?
Copy !req
196. Was hoping to take the piss.
Copy !req
197. Spare the piss for the time
being. If you're free,
Copy !req
198. my wife and I would love
to have you for dinner.
Copy !req
199. Listen.
Copy !req
200. They prefer eating in company.
Copy !req
201. I've kept cochlear gardens
since I was a young man,
Copy !req
202. fattening snails on herbs and vine leaves.
Copy !req
203. Like all of us, what they eat
Copy !req
204. greatly influences and
enhances their flavor.
Copy !req
205. When I'm not busy eating myself,
Copy !req
206. you wish me to be eating oysters,
Copy !req
207. drinking sweet wines
and snacking on acorns.
Copy !req
208. All to make me tastier?
Copy !req
209. Oh yes. And you are making them tastier.
Copy !req
210. And I you.
Copy !req
211. Imagine what you must taste like.
Copy !req
212. Won't be long until someone's
taking a bite out of you.
Copy !req
213. You're becoming brighter, Abel.
Copy !req
214. Dying hasn't dulled you one bit.
Copy !req
215. The snails are certainly
having a lovely experience,
Copy !req
216. fattened on me
Copy !req
217. in a red-wine marinade.
Copy !req
218. They have no idea
Copy !req
219. they're going to be eaten.
Copy !req
220. We do.
Copy !req
221. How well do you know the Fells?
Copy !req
222. As well as anybody. Which'd be not really.
Copy !req
223. Lydia a friend of yours?
Copy !req
224. Not really.
Copy !req
225. I'd be surprised to hear she had one.
Copy !req
226. We share a mutual detestation.
Copy !req
227. She disapproves of my disapproval.
Copy !req
228. What do you disapprove of?
Copy !req
229. Roman, mainly. Lydia isn't
quite bright enough to see
Copy !req
230. I'm just intimidated.
Roman does, of course.
Copy !req
231. How he loves to strike fear.
Copy !req
232. Dante wrote that fear is
almost as bitter as death.
Copy !req
233. Dante wasn't dead when he wrote it.
Copy !req
234. Are you traveling alone, Antony?
Copy !req
235. The only way I travel.
Copy !req
236. Oh!
Copy !req
237. Roman is speaking to the
Studiolo Friday, on Dante.
Copy !req
238. You should come.
Sounds appropriately hellish.
Copy !req
239. Are you avoiding meats?
Copy !req
240. I'm trying not to eat anything
with a central nervous system.
Copy !req
241. Oysters, acorns and Marsala.
Copy !req
242. That's what ancient Romans
would feed animals
Copy !req
243. to improve their flavor.
Copy !req
244. My husband
Copy !req
245. has a very sophisticated palate.
Copy !req
246. He's very particular
Copy !req
247. about how I taste.
Copy !req
248. Is it that kind of party?
Copy !req
249. It's not that kind of party.
Copy !req
250. No,
Copy !req
251. it really isn't.
Copy !req
252. Shame.
Copy !req
253. You were both suddenly so fascinating.
Copy !req
254. Hm!
Copy !req
255. - Buonasera.
- Buonasera.
Copy !req
256. You let him go.
Copy !req
257. What would you have me do, Bedelia?
Copy !req
258. Due bottiglie di Bâtard-Montrachet
Copy !req
259. e li tartufi bianchi, per favore.
Copy !req
260. Grazie.
Copy !req
261. Bedelia.
Copy !req
262. He attacked me.
Copy !req
263. Is that your blood?
Copy !req
264. No.
Copy !req
265. You were defending yourself?
Copy !req
266. I was reckless.
Copy !req
267. This wasn't reckless violence.
Copy !req
268. It was a controlled use of force.
Copy !req
269. I know what happened.
Copy !req
270. Do you?
Copy !req
271. He was your patient before he was mine.
Copy !req
272. He died under your care.
Copy !req
273. You were not defending yourself.
Copy !req
274. I can help you tell the version of events
Copy !req
275. you want to be told.
Copy !req
276. I can help you...
Copy !req
277. if you ask me to.
Copy !req
278. Will you help me?
Copy !req
279. In accord with my own taste
for the pre-Renaissance,
Copy !req
280. I present the case of Pietro della Vigna,
Copy !req
281. whose treachery earned him
a place in Dante's Hell.
Copy !req
282. He was disgraced and blinded for betraying
Copy !req
283. his emperor's trust.
Copy !req
284. Dante's pilgrim finds him
in the seventh level
Copy !req
285. of the Inferno, reserved for suicides.
Copy !req
286. Like Judas Iscariot, he died by hanging.
Copy !req
287. Judas and Pietro della Vigna
are linked in Dante's Inferno.
Copy !req
288. Betrayal, hanging...
Copy !req
289. then, linked since antiquity,
Copy !req
290. the image appearing again and again in art.
Copy !req
291. This is the earliest known depiction
Copy !req
292. of the Crucifixion, carved
on an ivory box in Gaul
Copy !req
293. about A.D. four hundred. It
includes the death by hanging
Copy !req
294. of Judas, his face upturned to
the branch that suspends him.
Copy !req
295. On the doors of the Benevento Cathedral,
Copy !req
296. we see Judas hanging
with his bowels falling out.
Copy !req
297. And here, from a fifteenth-century edition
Copy !req
298. of The Inferno, is
Pietro della Vigna's body
Copy !req
299. hanging from a bleeding tree.
Copy !req
300. I won't belabor the parallels
with Judas Iscariot.
Copy !req
301. Betrayal, hanging, self-destruction.
Copy !req
302. "Io fei gibetto a me de le mie case."
Copy !req
303. "I make my own home be my gallows."
Copy !req
304. Mr. Dimmond. Welcome. Please join us.
Copy !req
305. We were just about to discuss
the matter of chewing in Dante.
Copy !req
306. Thank you for your kind attention.
Copy !req
307. Thank you.
Copy !req
308. Would you say I secured
my position, Professor Sogliato?
Copy !req
309. The Studiolo seem... Satisfied.
Copy !req
310. Satisfied?
Copy !req
311. I thought the applause
was downright enthusiastic
Copy !req
312. in its soft and dusty way.
Copy !req
313. Dottore Fell is a friend of yours?
Copy !req
314. I was his TA at Cambridge.
The tales I could tell.
Copy !req
315. Please do.
Copy !req
316. What kind of friend would I be?
Copy !req
317. What kind of friend, indeed.
Copy !req
318. Dottore.
Copy !req
319. An exposition of Atrocious
Torture Instruments
Copy !req
320. appeals to connoisseurs
of the very worst in mankind.
Copy !req
321. Now that ceaseless exposure
Copy !req
322. has calloused us into
the lewd and the vulgar,
Copy !req
323. it is instructive to see
what still seems wicked to us.
Copy !req
324. What still slaps the clammy flab
Copy !req
325. of our submissive consciousness
hard enough to get our attention?
Copy !req
326. What wickedness has
your attention, Mr. Dimmond?
Copy !req
327. Yours...
Copy !req
328. "Dr. Fell."
Copy !req
329. I have no delusions about morality;
Copy !req
330. if I did, I would've gone to la polizia.
Copy !req
331. I'm curious as to what fate
Copy !req
332. befell Dr. Fell
Copy !req
333. to see you here in his stead.
Copy !req
334. You may have to strap me
to the breaking wheel
Copy !req
335. - to loosen my tongue.
- You overestimate
Copy !req
336. my affection for the genuine Dr. Fell.
Copy !req
337. Clearly, you found him
as distasteful as I did.
Copy !req
338. On the contrary.
Copy !req
339. We can twist ourselves into all manner
Copy !req
340. of uncomfortable positions
just to maintain appearances,
Copy !req
341. with or without a breaking wheel.
Copy !req
342. Are you here to twist me
into an uncomfortable position?
Copy !req
343. I'm here to help you untwist...
Copy !req
344. to our mutual benefit.
Copy !req
345. Observe or participate?
Copy !req
346. What?
Copy !req
347. Are you,
Copy !req
348. in this very moment,
observing or participating?
Copy !req
349. Observing.
Copy !req
350. You say you're observing, but this...
Copy !req
351. this is participation, Bedelia.
Copy !req
352. Did you know what he would do?
Copy !req
353. I would prefer you answer honestly.
Copy !req
354. - I was curious.
- You were curious
Copy !req
355. what would happen.
Copy !req
356. You were curious what Mr. Dimmond would do.
Copy !req
357. What I would do.
Copy !req
358. Did you anticipate our thoughts?
Copy !req
359. Counter-thoughts? Rationalizations?
Copy !req
360. Yes.
Copy !req
361. Is this what you expected?
Copy !req
362. Yes.
Copy !req
363. That's participation.
Copy !req
364. What have you gotten
yourself into, Bedelia?
Copy !req
365. Shall I hang up your coat?
Copy !req
366. Would you rather I extended you
Copy !req
367. the same kindness as the escargot?
Copy !req
368. Eating me without my knowledge?
Copy !req
369. Well... I find knowing
to be far more powerful.
Copy !req
370. Why do you think I'm allowing this?
Copy !req
371. Why do you think 'I'm' allowing this?
Copy !req
372. 'Cause snails aren't the only creatures
Copy !req
373. who prefer eating with company.
Copy !req
374. If only that company could be Will Graham.
Copy !req
375. I'm just fascinated
to know how you will feel
Copy !req
376. when all of this...
Copy !req
377. happens to you.
Copy !req
