Hannibal Episode 7 Sorbet

I just have to say-my mind switched a bit. At the start I was really fond of Will, well I still am but - it´s even more now on Hannibal. The more they focus on him, the more I want to see of him. It´s addictive.

FBI Academy, Quantico, Virginia

Will is lecturing about the Ripper...the Ripper see´s his Victims as Pigs, so to speak. Not even as prey. Miriam Lass is now also officially a victim of him. Crawford walks in on his Lecture, but he isn´t saying anything. He just listens. Will notices but he continues after a few seconds. Crawford doesn´t cut him off his time.

We are looking down a troat, the Voice is pure vibration. An Operasingers Voice. And as the Camera finds Hannibal, we are drowning into his ears.
Just to see his eyes teared up ... this reminds me of Red Dragon as Hannibal is sitting in a Classic Concert.

And we are again reminded that Hannibal isn´t a normal Psychopath, he is different. He is capable to feel. Even if it´s just a small moment to see it.
At a drink after the Event Hannibal meets one of his Former Dinning Guests, and she would love to have Dinner with him once again. Oh and he likes it. But then one of his Patients appears.
And the friend of his, means to tell Hannibal that Franklin was more interested in Lector than the actual performance.

Well, that´s quite interesting, therefore in Hannibal we learned what he can do to his Patient, when they get affected to him. Remember letting the guy cut off his own face?
And as he ask´s who is hungry? I just thought poor guy...you won´t last long.

Crawford is walking down a Hall in the Autopsy, a phone is ringing and leads him to open one of this Body fridges. The Arm of Miriam is in it, and her phone is ringing...

But it was just a dream, he is alone in his bedroom getting a call, where is his wife? In the last Episode he was also alone in his bedroom.
They found a body.

It´s deep in the night, he picks Will up and they´re driving to the Scene of Crime.

"You get it fresh-", Crawford says,
and Will asks: "Fresh? Fresh like a Daisy?"

Crawford wants Will to confirm wether or not this is the Rippers work. But actually he wants it to be him. He wants to hunt him down.

"You want me to wrap my head so tight around the Ripper I won´t go back to class until he´s gone."

Will thinks the Ripper is trying to manipulate Crawford, Miriam was just a tool for that. She wasn´t exposed like the others because she was special. Was he impressed for her to find him?

"Don´t let the Ripper stir you up!", Graham is saying.

If he´s the killer, there will be a few Victims and the window will be closed, and the last time the window closed he´d lost Miriam and he won´t let that happen again.

At the Scene...the body had Organs taken...he was also moved, a deep cut is above his rips, but the heart wasn´t been taken. He´s laying in the bathtub.
Will is going back in time. Coming in, the Victim is staying there bleeding, his kidneys are gone. As he see´s Will, he is attacking him, pushing him into the wall, until Will throws him into the bathtub.
Graham feels his heart easing up, so he cuts into his chest, he spreads the Rips to massage his heart.

And he wakes up ... the killer had tried to save the victims life, but why? This was certainly not the Ripper. But one of Jacks Guys insists that this is the Ripper, man I laughed so hard as Will closed the Door right before his nose.
He thinks this was a Trainee. Selling Organs maybe.
Crawford is saying that if he gets the Ripper...he would kill him on his own.

Will is trying to see the Ripper.

He see´s him as an too early born child. Fed and taken care of...as they take off the machines the Baby doesn´t die. He looks normal. So nobody can tell what he is.
In Fact Hannibal almost died at the age of 5 but survived, he was taken care of in an Orphan. Will defently is coming closer.

Confrontation of Hannibal with his Patient. The Man is trying to get his attention, he thinks that he could be a good friend to Hannibal. This happens quite often to Psych Doctors, for their patient´s are telling them intimate things and they are starting to feel attached.
Out of some reason Franklin thinks that if he had been a Friend of Michael Jackson he surely wouldn´t have died. He would have saved him from himself.

Samaritan Complex? Is he saying he wants to save Hannibal from himself? If he knew who he is talking to.

Just then we get to see Hannibal´s Psychologist.Played by Gillian Anderson.
She knows Hannibal isn´t perfectly honest with her. She is talking with a Version of him. He is wearing a person suit.Or even more a human Veil.
Hannibal is her only Patient, she has retired but he continues to visit her. She doesn´t see him as a friend, but she has seen enough of him to like him.

At his appoitment with Will he is telling him about her, building bonds. Even more so saying their meetings are conversations instead of sessions. They´re drinking Wine together.

Right into the Case, saying maybe it wasn´t the same guy who did the Ripper killings. Will says that the last one wasn´t indeed. Hannibal suggests the harvest of Organs. A thought Will didn´t have before.

Past...a Doctor is taking blood from Hannibal asking for other diseases-saying it would be bad for his reputation if he lies about it. Hannibal asks for his Buisness Card.

Now

He has a really big collection of Buisness Cards-he takes the one of the Doctor. Combinated with a Recipe of Crisp Lemon Calf Liver...

A car stops...it´s loosing Oil. And another one stops right behind...Hannibal. He asks if he needs help, and the Doctor thinks he has met him before. We never see what happens as Hannibal reaches him.

The next time we see the Doctor he is dead, cut in two halfs on a table in the Autopsy. Lecter had token his kidney´s and his heart.

"The Ripper wants to perform, every brutal choice has elegance...grace."

Hannibal is cooking with Dr. Bloom. He brew a Beer in Winebottles just for her, well who knows what he did in there. They´re talking about Will. She doesn´t want any information she shouldn´t have as his friend. But nevertheless it was Crawford who decided Will had to see him instead of her.
He asks why they didn´t have an affaire back at University, and she says he already had one...
Saying Will changes the subject the same way Hannibal does.

Jack Crawford has the same dream again. Walking down the way at the Autopsy...
...but the Hand isn´t there anymore.

But Will is...

This Nightmare is a result of Hannibals influence...will Graham also be one of the Victims of the Ripper?

The Recipes Box gets opened...Chicken Liver Pate and a new Buisness Card get´s picked. And Hannibal is cutting Liver.
Braised Beef Lungs...a new Card...Lungs
Parmesean Crumbled Lambs Brains...another Card...flesh cut and marinated taken into the fridge. Guess some people are coming to Dinner. A Dinner Party.

Now we have 4 Victims with missing Organs...they are guessing for grafts or the Ripper is making Sausages. And we see Hannibal doing so.
But they´re also guessing he is selling them.

Morning. Hannibal´s appointment with Franklin. He says he saw with buying Cheese, and that he also loves it...Hannibal bought the Parmesean. As he tells him who solds the best ones, he touches Hannibals knee...

Well, that was something. He tries to widen the Boundaries. He feels alone. And Dr. Lecter is a Source of stability and Safety. Be Careful...

Well, where is Will Graham...he didn´t come to their Appointment. So Hannibal has to come to him-

Graham dreams of sitting together with Abigail, while the Copycat Victim pierced on antlers stands between them like a table. She says Dad, there´s someone else here. So he dreams of being her father. Being Hobbs.

As Hannibal keeps calling everything dissepears. He thinks he had dreamt, did he sleepwalk?
But his eyes were open. For him it felt like sleep. He still tries to avoid sleeping, afraid of the dreams that could hunt him.
He asks Hannbal what he see´s in the Victims photograph´s on the table.
Will says, this is public shaming. Does he take the organs because they don´t deserve them?

"In some way."

Taking Miriams Photo, Will says the Ripper didn´t want to humiliate her but Crawford.

"I would say, it worked really well."

We are getting closer to the other Killer, he drives a Ambulance car. It´s was filmed by a Hotel Cam. As Crawford seeks for Will, Hannibal is still there.

"Would you like to help us catch the Ripper?", Crawford says oh so joyful.
"How could I refuse?"

The Ambulance car is missing, but they find it by the digital drunk system in it.
Lecter finds it very educational.
With a SWAP Team they are finding the car.

Crawford screams for Dr. Lecter, the Murderer has his hand inside a Victim and massages his heart. Lecter takes over to stop the bleeding. And they take the man out.
Will is watching Hannibal closely. Their eyes met.

He see´s him in a different light. Lecter is actually also a medical Doctor.

Hannibal is preparing the big Dinner at his home. He could really do commercials for Cooking and Wine...

Will is about to leave because he thinks he isn´t good company, but he still wants to know why Hannibal isn´t a surgon anymore...he is starting to be interested in his private matters. The Seduction is working-

He´s saying he felt guilty about a Patient he´d lost, changing his Professions repairing the minds of people he hadn´t killed someone since then.
And with his Charm he turned Will´s mind again...

But he´s still after the Ripper. He is still out there. And there is no connection between the Organ Harvester and the Ripper.
Jack is soaked into the Victims Pictures, while we see him again walking down the way in the Autopsy...

...Dinner at Hannibal Lecter´s, the Dishes are perfecly shown off. One prettier than the other.

"Before we beginn, you must all be warned, nothing here, is vegetarian."
He says before he is nipping at his Wine Glass...
_______________________________________________________________

What to say, this Episode was quite beautiful, not as gruesome as the ones before, but finally we got the focus on Hannibal. I had waited for that.
We see how he is manipulating Graham, how easily he can turn him in the direction he wants. He is always in control, even his Psychaintrist can´t see who he really is, even if she knows he is hiding his true self. A bit out of line, because in Silnce of the Lambs he knows all thr tricks, no methode is working on him.
But I liked the Episode. My most favourite part was as Graham started to sense something as Lecter had his hand in the chest of the Victim.

Did you love it? Or did you despise it?
