Sweating as it distorts the flickering flame of a FIREPLACE.
CAMERA FINDS HANNIBAL.
HANNIBAL
Someone who already doubts their own identity can be more susceptible to manipulation.

INT. HANNIBAL’S HOME - DINING ROOM - NIGHT 1 3 3
Hannibal ENTERS carrying KUDAL, an Indian curry of sheep intestines, lovingly displayed in a sculpted banana leaf.
HANNIBAL
Dr. Gideon is a psychopath.
Psychopaths are narcissists. They rarely doubt who they are.
DR. CHILTON
Tried to appeal to his narcissism.
HANNIBAL
By convincing him he was the
Chesapeake Ripper.
Dr. Chilton realizes he’s gotten himself into trouble.
DR. CHILTON
If only I had been more curious about the common mind.
(CONTINUED)HANNIBAL
I have no interest in understanding sheep. Only eating them.
(re: platter)
Kudal. A South Indian curry. Made from sheep, of course. In a coconut-coriander-chili sauce.
Hannibal serves Dr. Chilton a morsel from the platter.
DR. CHILTON
Feels like a last supper.
HANNIBAL
You’re not the only psychiatrist a patient has accused of making them kill. Poke around a psychopath’s mind, bound to get poked back.
DR. CHILTON
What would you do in my position?
HANNIBAL
Deny everything.
DR. CHILTON
I thought psychic driving would have been more effective in breaking down his personality.
HANNIBAL
Psychic driving fails because its methods are too obvious.
DR. CHILTON
Sensory deprivation. Psychic disorientation. Curare.
HANNIBAL
You were trying too hard, Fredrick.
If force is used, the subject will only surrender temporarily.

Hannibal and Dr. Chilton enjoy the beautifully prepared meal.
HANNIBAL
Once a patient is exposed to the method of the manipulation, it becomes much less effective.
