Complete story — includes the ending

As Hannibal invites Jack to dinner, he and Will destroy his patient records and plan to flee the country together. Will gives Lounds permission to write about him and Hannibal as long as she publishes nothing about Abigail to honor her memory. Hannibal recognizes Lounds's scent on Will and realizes his betrayal. Prurnell shuts down the sting operation when she learns of Jack covering up Tier's displaying, informing Alana, who has accepted Hannibal's true identity, that he, Jack and Will are to be arrested. She informs Will, who in turn warns Hannibal. When Jack arrives for dinner, he and Hannibal fight. Alana arrives, stopping Hannibal from breaking into the pantry, and tries to kill him, only for him to reveal that he emptied her gun earlier. She flees upstairs and runs into Abigail, who pushes her out the window. Will arrives and Hannibal admits he was saving Abigail as a "surprise," and that the three were to flee together. Hannibal wounds him and Abigail, and Will sees the stag dying next to him as he bleeds out. A post-credits scene shows Hannibal on a French airplane with Du Maurier.
