(Lydia walks across the academy, trying to get into Jack's office, but she gets distracted by seeing something that has haunted her deeply, her dead sister looking at her. She gets scared and accidentally bumps into someone.)
Lydia says," I'm sorry." The man says, " That's quite alright" He lets go of her shoulder and says, " If I may, can you kindly show me to Jack Crawford's Office."
Lydia looks at him and says," Oh Yes, are you, Doctor Lecter?". Hannibal says, "Yes, I am, and you are?" Lydia says," Oh, I'm Special Agent Lydia Forbes. I was just headed to Jack's Office; I'll walk you there". Hannibal says," Thank you" and walks with Lydia to Jack's office. Both Lydia and Hannibal see Will and Jack sitting and talking to each other. Lydia knocks on his door, and Jack ushers them to come in.
Jack stands up and shakes Doctor Lecter's hand. Jack says," Forgive me, Will this is Doctor Hannibal Lecter he's a psychiatrist helping us also, Doctor Lecter; this is Will Graham."Hannibal goes to shake will's hand but sees him not looking at them, so Hannibal puts his hand away and sits down with Will and Lydia.
Hannibal asks, "Tell me, then, how many confessions?" Jack answers him," About 12 dozen. No one knew details until this morning; everyone knew some police officer took a picture of the body and sent it to his friends, and Freddie Lounds ran it through tattle crime".
Lydia scoffs and says, "Of course." Will says," Tasteless."Will grabs Hannibal's attention) and asks," Have trouble with taste"?. Will says," My thoughts aren't tasty." Hannibal agrees and says," Nor mine. No barriers." Hannibal notices how Will isn't looking at anyone and asks," Not fond of eye contact, are you?" Will still doesn't look at Hannibal and says," Eyes are distracting. You see too much, and you don't see too much, and it's hard to focus when you think those whites are really white or they must have hepatitis, or is that a burst vein?" Will looks at him and says, "So I try to avoid eyes whenever possible."
Lydia is in her own mind and trying to dissect why she saw her dead sister today; something must be wrong with her. She must be hallucinating. She sees Jack look at her, worried, and also Hannibal looks at her. She goes back into reality and hears. Will says, "Whose profile are you working on? (to Jack) Whose profile is he working on?
Hannibal says, " I'm sorry, Will. Observing is what we do. I can't shut mine off any more than you can shut yours off."
Will says to Jack, "Please don't psychoanalyze me. You won't like me when I'm psychoanalyzed. (WIll leaves the room)
