Complete story — includes the ending
Lounds receives a tip to go to the observatory, where she finds Katz's corpse, vertically segmented and displayed. Will is brought to the scene, where he realizes that the Chesapeake Ripper killed both Katz and Gray. Zeller finds that her kidneys were swapped with Gray's. Will demands to speak to Gideon and asks for the Ripper's identity, who counters that he will have to kill the Ripper to prove his identity. Will asks Lounds to write an article about Sykes's murder, which attracts the attention of the killer, Matthew Brown, a Baltimore State Hospital orderly who is obsessed with Will. Will asks him to kill Hannibal, which Gideon overhears and relays to Alana, who alerts Jack. Brown abducts Hannibal at a pool and suspends him from a noose in the building's basement, where he reveals that Will sent him. He gives Hannibal the option to hang himself before he bleeds to death from inflicted wounds. Jack arrives and shoots Brown as he hangs Hannibal, who Jack rescues.
