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.
We could disappear now.
Copy !req
6. You've set some sort of trap
and you're goading Hannibal into it.
Copy !req
7. - How can you be sure he's not goading you?
- I can't.
Copy !req
8. I have begun to question your actions
with regards to my attack.
Copy !req
9. I am no longer your therapist.
Copy !req
10. You are dangerous.
Copy !req
11. - Antony Dimmond.
- Boris Jakov.
Copy !req
12. - I'd offer a hand, but...
- It's a double-fisted kind of bash.
Copy !req
13. Do you know Roman well?
Copy !req
14. You were staring with
the thinly-veiled disdain of a man who does.
Copy !req
15. I was his TA at Cambridge.
He was insufferable even then.
Copy !req
16. Have you read his books?
Copy !req
17. They're terrible.
Copy !req
18. You know they're terrible,
you're just too polite to say.
Copy !req
19. Blink if you agree.
Copy !req
20. See.
Copy !req
21. That doesn't stop him
squatting over his keyboard
Copy !req
22. and depositing a fresh one
every six to eight months.
Copy !req
23. It takes me six to eight months
to write one line.
Copy !req
24. - Why?
- Poetry is hard.
Copy !req
25. Too hard for Roman.
Well, it's easier for him to slide into academia
Copy !req
26. and dissect the work of others
than it is to stand by his own words.
Copy !req
27. One can appreciate another's words
without dissecting them.
Copy !req
28. Though, on occasion,
dissection is the only thing that will do.
Copy !req
29. Bonsoir.
Copy !req
30. FLORENCE
Copy !req
31. You really are the Devil.
Copy !req
32. Certainly seem to enjoy it.
You have a click in your hoof.
Copy !req
33. The Devil has been a yoke
on the neck of humanity
Copy !req
34. since we first began to think and dream.
Copy !req
35. - I, for a much shorter time.
- You admit the yoke.
Copy !req
36. Smells of candy apples and thyme.
Copy !req
37. You smoked me in thyme.
Copy !req
38. Smoked, glazed, served on a sugar cane quill.
Copy !req
39. - You will be falling off the bone.
- Well, of course.
Copy !req
40. And with these rarefied dishes
you so carefully prepare, do we all...
Copy !req
41. Taste different?
Copy !req
42. Everyone has their flavor.
Copy !req
43. Cannibalism was standard behavior
among our ancestors.
Copy !req
44. The missing link was only missing
because we ate him.
Copy !req
45. This isn't cannibalism, Abel.
It's only cannibalism if we're equals.
Copy !req
46. This is only cannibalism if you eat me.
Copy !req
47. But you just feel this is the natural order
of things. Everybody gets et.
Copy !req
48. - Be he fat or be he lean.
- With my last leg standing next to me,
Copy !req
49. I should still wrestle with
the urges to fight or flee.
Copy !req
50. It's called terminal restlessness.
Copy !req
51. The body fills with adrenaline
and feels compelled to go, go, go.
Copy !req
52. "Go, go, go?" I've already got up and gone.
Copy !req
53. This is posthumous.
Copy !req
54. You're not dead yet, Abel.
You still have to eat.
Copy !req
55. No, I don't.
Copy !req
56. At this point,
there is absolutely nothing I have to do.
Copy !req
57. But I shouldn't spoil the fairy tale, should I?
Copy !req
58. You and your little gingerbread house.
Copy !req
59. Let it be a fairy tale, then.
Copy !req
60. Once upon a time...
Copy !req
61. - Bellissima.
- Grazie.
Copy !req
62. Dr. Fell.
Copy !req
63. I hope you translate as well as you waltz.
Mrs. Fell.
Copy !req
64. Our new appointee was confirmed
by the board after close questioning.
Copy !req
65. You've examined him in medieval Italian,
Copy !req
66. and I will not deny
his language is... Admirable.
Copy !req
67. - Thank you.
- For a straniero.
Copy !req
68. Are you familiar with the personalities
of pre-Renaissance Florence?
Copy !req
69. I think not.
Copy !req
70. Dr. Fell might hold in his hand,
Copy !req
71. in his non-Italian hand,
a note from Dante Alighieri himself.
Copy !req
72. Would he recognize it?
Copy !req
73. I think not.
Copy !req
74. Professor Sogliato,
would you do me the honor of a dance?
Copy !req
75. Of course.
Copy !req
76. Allegro mi sembrava Amore,
tenendo il mio cuore in mano.
Copy !req
77. E nelle braccia avea Madonna
involta in un drappo, dormendo.
Copy !req
78. Poi la svegliava, e d'esto core ardendo
lei paventosa umilmente pascea
Copy !req
79. appresso gir lo ne vedea piangendo.
Copy !req
80. Dante's first sonnet.
Copy !req
81. It fascinated Cavalcanti.
The eating of the heart is a powerful image.
Copy !req
82. If he's such an expert on Dante,
let him lecture on Dante.
Copy !req
83. To the Studiolo. Let him face them.
Copy !req
84. - Extempore-
- I'm happy to sing for my supper.
Copy !req
85. Professor Sogliato.
Copy !req
86. We are among the palaces built 600 years ago.
Copy !req
87. By the merchant princes, the kingmakers
and the connivers of Renaissance Florence.
Copy !req
88. As connivers of modern Florence.
Copy !req
89. I've found a peace here that I would preserve.
Copy !req
90. I've killed hardly anybody
during our residence.
Copy !req
91. You created a vacancy at the Palazzo
Capponi by removing the former curator.
Copy !req
92. A simple process requiring
a few seconds' work on the old man
Copy !req
93. and a modest outlay for two bags of cement.
Copy !req
94. You no longer have
ethical concerns, Hannibal.
Copy !req
95. You have aesthetical ones.
Copy !req
96. Ethics become aesthetics.
Copy !req
97. You seem more interested in
making appearances than maintaining them.
Copy !req
98. Could you?
Copy !req
99. If this is about my position at the Palazzo,
Copy !req
100. once the path was cleared,
I won the job fairly on my merits.
Copy !req
101. Yes, even the most-contentious Florentines
Copy !req
102. can't resist the verse of Dante
ringing off of frescoed walls.
Copy !req
103. One contentious Florentine can.
Copy !req
104. Have you given serious thought
to eating Professor Sogliato?
Copy !req
105. My killing Sogliato now
would not preserve the peace.
Copy !req
106. Your peace is without morality.
Copy !req
107. Morality doesn't exist. Only morale.
Copy !req
108. How you feel today?
Copy !req
109. How do you feel today?
Copy !req
110. I still believe
I'm in conscious control of my actions.
Copy !req
111. Given your history, that's a good day.
Copy !req
112. If you think you're about to catch Hannibal,
it's because he wants you to think that.
Copy !req
113. Don't fool yourself into thinking
he's not in control of what's happening.
Copy !req
114. May I get dressed?
Copy !req
115. You may.
Copy !req
116. What have you done, Hannibal?
Copy !req
117. I've taken off my person suit.
Copy !req
118. You let them see you.
Copy !req
119. I let them see enough.
Copy !req
120. How does it feel? Being seen?
Copy !req
121. You're in no position to ask, Dr. Du Maurier.
Copy !req
122. You ended
our patient-psychiatrist relationship.
Copy !req
123. I lacked the appropriate skills
to continue your therapy.
Copy !req
124. I never found you to be lacking.
Copy !req
125. I'm sorry I didn't provide you
with a suitable substitute for therapy.
Copy !req
126. Is Will Graham still alive?
Copy !req
127. Will Graham was not
a suitable substitute for therapy.
Copy !req
128. What was he?
Copy !req
129. Is this professional curiosity?
Copy !req
130. Almost entirely.
Copy !req
131. Do you trust me?
Copy !req
132. Not entirely.
Copy !req
133. Have you taken into consideration
my beliefs about your intentions?
Copy !req
134. My intentions?
Copy !req
135. Human motivation
can be little more than lucid greed.
Copy !req
136. Greed.
Copy !req
137. And blind optimism.
Copy !req
138. You're optimistic I won't kill you.
Copy !req
139. Hello!
Copy !req
140. Mr. Jakov, isn't it? We met in Paris
a few months back.
Copy !req
141. Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
It's just here I was and then there you were.
Copy !req
142. - I never forget a face.
- Antony Dimmond.
Copy !req
143. - Nice to be remembered.
- You're hard to forget.
Copy !req
144. What are you doing in Florence?
Copy !req
145. - Are you working with Roman?
- Dr. Fell?
Copy !req
146. I heard he took an appointment
at the Capponi library.
Copy !req
147. Yes, he's the new curator and translator
at the Palazzo Capponi.
Copy !req
148. Evidently, the last one eloped with a woman
or someone's money or both.
Copy !req
149. That's the commonly-held belief.
Copy !req
150. - You just missed Roman.
- Did I? Was hoping to take the piss.
Copy !req
151. Spare the piss for the time being.
If you're free,
Copy !req
152. my wife and I would love
to have you for dinner.
Copy !req
153. Listen.
Copy !req
154. They prefer eating in company.
Copy !req
155. I've kept cochlear gardens
since I was a young man,
Copy !req
156. fattening snails on herbs and vine leaves.
Like all of us,
Copy !req
157. what they eat greatly
influences and enhances their flavor.
Copy !req
158. When I'm not busy eating myself,
you wish me to be eating oysters,
Copy !req
159. drinking sweet wines
and snacking on acorns.
Copy !req
160. All to make me tastier?
Copy !req
161. Oh, yes, and you are making them tastier.
Copy !req
162. And I you.
Copy !req
163. Imagine what you must taste like.
Copy !req
164. Won't be long
until someone's taking a bite out of you.
Copy !req
165. You're becoming brighter, Abel.
Dying hasn't dulled you one bit.
Copy !req
166. The snails are certainly having
a lovely experience,
Copy !req
167. fattened on me in a red wine marinade.
Copy !req
168. They have no idea they're going to be eaten.
Copy !req
169. We do.
Copy !req
170. - How well do you know the Fells?
- As well as anybody, which'd be not really.
Copy !req
171. Lydia a friend of yours?
Copy !req
172. - Not really.
- I'd be surprised to hear she had one.
Copy !req
173. We share a mutual detestation.
Copy !req
174. She disapproves of my disapproval.
Copy !req
175. - What do you disapprove of?
- Roman, mainly.
Copy !req
176. Lydia isn't quite bright enough
to see I'm just intimidated.
Copy !req
177. Roman does, of course.
Oh, how he loves to strike fear.
Copy !req
178. Dante wrote that fear is
almost as bitter as death.
Copy !req
179. Dante wasn't dead when he wrote it.
Copy !req
180. Are you traveling alone, Antony?
Copy !req
181. The only way I travel.
Copy !req
182. Oh.
Copy !req
183. Roman is speaking to the Studiolo Friday
on Dante. You should come.
Copy !req
184. Sounds appropriately hellish.
Copy !req
185. Are you avoiding meats?
Copy !req
186. I'm trying not to eat anything
with a central nervous system.
Copy !req
187. Oysters, acorns and Marsala.
Copy !req
188. That's what the ancient Romans
would feed animals to improve their flavor.
Copy !req
189. My husband has a very sophisticated palate.
Copy !req
190. He's very particular about how I taste.
Copy !req
191. Is it that kind of party?
Copy !req
192. It is not that kind of party.
Copy !req
193. No. It really isn't.
Copy !req
194. Shame. You were both
suddenly so fascinating.
Copy !req
195. You let him go.
Copy !req
196. What would you have me do, Bedelia?
Copy !req
197. Bedelia?
Copy !req
198. He attacked me.
Copy !req
199. Is that your blood?
Copy !req
200. No.
Copy !req
201. You were defending yourself?
Copy !req
202. I was reckless.
Copy !req
203. This wasn't reckless violence.
Copy !req
204. It was a controlled use of force.
Copy !req
205. I know what happened.
Copy !req
206. Do you?
Copy !req
207. He was your patient before he was mine.
Copy !req
208. He died under your care.
Copy !req
209. You were not defending yourself.
Copy !req
210. I can help you tell the version of events
you want to be told.
Copy !req
211. I can help you.
Copy !req
212. If you ask me to.
Copy !req
213. Will you help me?
Copy !req
214. In accord with my own taste
for the pre-Renaissance,
Copy !req
215. I present the case of Pietro delta Vigna,
Copy !req
216. whose treachery
earned him a place in Dante's Hell.
Copy !req
217. He was disgraced and blinded
for betraying his emperor's trust.
Copy !req
218. Dante's pilgrim finds him in the seventh
level of the Inferno, reserved for suicides.
Copy !req
219. Like Judas lscariot, he died by hanging.
Copy !req
220. Judas and Pietro delta Vigna
are linked in Dante's Inferno.
Copy !req
221. Betrayal, hanging...
Copy !req
222. Then linked since antiquity,
the image appearing again and again in art.
Copy !req
223. This is the earliest-known depiction
of the crucifixion,
Copy !req
224. carved on an ivory box in Gaul about AD 400.
Copy !req
225. It includes the death by hanging of Judas,
Copy !req
226. his face upturned
to the branch that suspends him.
Copy !req
227. On the doors of the Benevento Cathedral,
Copy !req
228. we see Judas hanging
with his bowels falling out.
Copy !req
229. And here, from a 15th-century
edition of the Inferno,
Copy !req
230. is Pietro delta Vigna's body
hanging from a bleeding tree.
Copy !req
231. I won't belabor the parallels
with Judas lscariot.
Copy !req
232. Betrayal, hanging, self-destruction.
Copy !req
233. Io fei gibetto a me della mia casa.
Copy !req
234. "I make my own home be my gallows."
Mr. Dimmond.
Copy !req
235. Welcome. Please join us.
Copy !req
236. We were just about to discuss
the matter of chewing in Dante.
Copy !req
237. Thank you for your kind attention.
Thank you. Thank you.
Copy !req
238. Would you say I secured my position,
Professor Sogliato?
Copy !req
239. The Studiolo seem satisfied.
Copy !req
240. Satisfied? I thought the applause
was downright enthusiastic.
Copy !req
241. In its soft and dusty way.
Copy !req
242. Dr. Fell is a friend of yours?
Copy !req
243. I was his TA at Cambridge.
Copy !req
244. The tales I could tell.
Copy !req
245. Please do.
Copy !req
246. What kind of friend would I be?
Copy !req
247. What kind of friend, indeed.
Copy !req
248. Dottore!
Copy !req
249. An exposition
of atrocious torture instruments
Copy !req
250. appeals to connoisseurs
of the very worst in mankind.
Copy !req
251. Now that ceaseless exposure
has calloused us into the lewd and vulgar,
Copy !req
252. it's instructive to see
what still seems wicked to us.
Copy !req
253. What still slaps the clammy flab
of our submissive consciousness
Copy !req
254. hard enough to get our attention?
Copy !req
255. What wickedness
has your attention, Mr. Dimmond?
Copy !req
256. Yours.
Copy !req
257. Dr. Fell.
Copy !req
258. I have no delusions about morality.
Copy !req
259. If I did, I would've gone to Ia polizia.
Copy !req
260. I'm curious as to what fate befell Dr. Fell
to see you here in his stead.
Copy !req
261. You may have to strap me
to the breaking wheel to loosen my tongue.
Copy !req
262. You overestimate my affection
for the genuine Dr. Fell.
Copy !req
263. Clearly, you found him as distasteful as I did.
Copy !req
264. On the contrary.
Copy !req
265. We can twist ourselves
into all manner of uncomfortable positions.
Copy !req
266. Just to maintain appearances.
Copy !req
267. With or without a breaking wheel.
Copy !req
268. Are you here to twist me
into an uncomfortable position?
Copy !req
269. I'm here to help you untwist.
To our mutual benefit.
Copy !req
270. Observe or participate.
Copy !req
271. What?
Copy !req
272. Are you, in this very moment,
observing or participating?
Copy !req
273. Observing.
Copy !req
274. You say you're observing, but this...
Copy !req
275. This is participation, Bedelia.
Copy !req
276. Did you know what he would do?
Copy !req
277. I would prefer you answer honestly.
Copy !req
278. - I was curious.
- You were curious what would happen.
Copy !req
279. You were curious what Mr. Dimmond
would do. What I would do.
Copy !req
280. Did you anticipate our thoughts?
Copy !req
281. Counter-thoughts? Rationalizations?
Copy !req
282. Yes.
Copy !req
283. Is this what you expected?
Copy !req
284. Yes.
Copy !req
285. That's participation.
Copy !req
286. What have you gotten yourself into, Bedelia?
Copy !req
287. Shall I hang up your coat?
Copy !req
288. Would you rather I extended you
the same kindness as the escargot?
Copy !req
289. Eating me without my knowledge?
Copy !req
290. No, I find knowing to be far more powerful.
Copy !req
291. Why do you think I'm allowing this?
Copy !req
292. Why do you think I'm allowing this?
Copy !req
293. 'Cause snails aren't the only creatures
who prefer eating with company.
Copy !req
294. If only that company could be Will Graham.
Copy !req
295. I'm just fascinated to know
how you will feel when all this...
Copy !req
296. Happens to you.
Copy !req
