13. The Wrath of the Lamb

Complete story — includes the ending

When Reba tries to run, Dolarhyde sets his house on fire and commits suicide to avoid seeing her die, though she manages to escape. After learning Dolarhyde's identity, Will visits Hannibal one last time, stating that he rejected Hannibal at his house knowing that he would turn himself in. Dolarhyde, having faked his death by killing another man, attacks Will, who suggests that he "change" Hannibal for manipulating them both. Will presents a plan to Jack and Alana to stage Hannibal's escape to lure out Dolarhyde, though he tells a disgusted Du Maurier that he would allow Hannibal to escape if necessary. Hannibal agrees to the plan after Will asks him personally, only for Dolarhyde to kill his guards during the fake escape, allowing Hannibal to take Will to the cliffside house he kept Abigail and Miriam Lass in. As Will accepts that he may die helping Hannibal, Dolarhyde attacks and wounds them both, and they kill him together in a brutal struggle. Hannibal tells Will that "this is all I ever wanted for you" and Will admits that "it's beautiful" before embracing him and pulling them off a cliff, leaving their fates unknown. A post-credits scene shows Du Maurier, her leg amputated and cooked, waiting apprehensively at a table set for three.
