Season 3 Episode 4: Apertivo

[theyregooddogs]

This episode focuses on how all the key players slowly pulled themselves together after Hannibal decimated them at the end of the second season. It is less focused on Will and more his interactions with everyone involved in the aftermath as well as him vocalizing the reasons for his actions that night. Script.

• Chilton visits Will in the hospital after being disemboweled. Will confuses his appearance with someone else, but he is still able to maintain a conversation with the man while also hallucinating another person.


• Chilton wants to enlist Will in capturing Hannibal, to get vegenance, but Will rebuffs him.


• CHILTON: The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. This is your best possible world, Will. You're not getting a better one.


• Will envisions a dream of what he could have done: Jack, Will, and Hannibal are sat at the table, and Will holds Jack's arm while Hannibal slits his throat open. Jack is shocked by the betrayal.


• Will works on the engine of a yacht with his dogs enjoying the outdoors when Jack visits him. Jack hoped Will would visit him first, but he admits he understands why Will did not.


• JACK: I'm here to make sure you don't contradict the official narrative. We are FBI agents. Wounded in the course of heroic duty.
  WILL: Well now, that's not true for either of us.


• JACK: Do you remember when you decided to call Hannibal?
  WILL: I wasn't decided when I called him. I just called him. I deliberated while the phone rang. I decided ... When I heard his voice.
  JACK: You told him we knew.
  WILL: I told him to leave. ... 'Cause I wanted him to run.
  JACK: Why?
  WILL: Because... Because he was my friend. And because I wanted to run away with him.


• Alana visits Hannibal's home and finds Will seated in the kitchen where he was cut open. Will is hallucinating during the entire conversation, but he keeps pace with Alana. Alana questions if he wants to forget what happened, and Will replies that he doesn't.


• WILL: I'm building rooms in my memory palace for all my friends.
  ALANA: Friendship with Hannibal is blackmail elevated to the level of love.
  WILL: A mutually unspoken pact to ignore the worst in one another in order to continue enjoying the best.
  ALANA: After everything he's done, can you still ignore the worst in him?
  WILL: I came here to be alone, Alana. If you wouldn't mind.


• Jack retires from the FBI then eventually kills his wife while she is barely alive during the last stages of her lung cancer. Will arrives late to the funeral, waiting until everyone has gone, and Jack passes along a note he received from Hannibal regarding Bella's death and its circumstances.


• JACK: She had to die on me. I knew it was coming, but it smarts. I know what's coming for you, Will. You don't have to die on me, too.


• Will leaves the dogs in Alana's care as he sails across the Atlantic to locate Hannibal. She and Will discussed capturing Hannibal before he left, and she believes Will understands the need to catch and incarcerate Hannibal.

Important Points:

• Will has a friend named Hannibal. Everyone, including Will, understands Hannibal is a bad person, but Will still has a great attachment to him. John will know that his stomach scar came from Hannibal as the wound pattern matches the circumstances. He did something and felt culpable enough to allow Hannibal to gut him; Hannibal decided to leave him alive for reasons both known and unknown.


• Will was connected with the FBI in some capacity. He is under investigation regarding what happened with Hannibal and has lied, or at least omitted the truth, about his role in what happened. Jack also accepts some blame for the event, but he is unsure regarding Will and his connection with Hannibal.


• Will is astoundingly practiced at creating hallucinations of what he wants to see and disassociates with reality in uncanny ways.


• Will is by and large calm and at ease throughout the episode, even willing to discuss raw emotions in a measured, reasonable manner. This is starkly different from his nervous, unsure persona without memories. Will is capable, focused, and determined; John is not.


• Will can sail a yacht across an ocean, fix its engine, and has a lot of dogs that he cares about a lot.
