Hannibal Rising Page #3

- No, no, no.

Dortlich searched

those ruins before.

Grutas told him to do it.

Poked around with his picnic fork,

the lazy bastard.

Where is he? Where is he?

This poison little boy

who killed Dortlich?

He's a Paris schoolboy.

They say that there is

a passport photograph

but they don't have it yet.

What's his name?

Hannibal Lecter.

You know him?

So do you.

We...

...we had dinner with him

during the war.

Go back to

your restaurant, Kolnas.

Hey!

Bring me a covered dish

next time.

Where the hell is Dieter?

Dieter!

You bruise their face,

you split their lip,

the money goes down.

Come here.

And that one.

That one is mine for now.

Milko, I want you to go to Paris.

Kolnas found me a Bosendorfer piano.

The best.

Oh, and... find the boy.

Lecter...

you know what to do with him.

Thanks.

Inspector Popil...

please come in.

This is not a social call.

- Where is he?

- I don't know. At medical school, I think.

Did you ever see this man?

No.

His name is Dortlich.

He's a War Criminal.

He was found near

the castle Hannibal came from.

Dortlich had some ugly friends,

I want to know where they are.

Hannibal may know.

Don't cut yourself.

I know about you...

I know you lost your family...

...everything,

when the bomb fell on Hiroshima.

Yes.

And you protect Hannibal

because he lost everything too?

That is your bond with him?

Do you see your family,

in your dreams, Inspector?

Yes.

So do I...

so does he.

If your pet snake strikes in France...

I will have to seize him.

He will die under the guillotine.

Sorry.

It was who sent you to kill me.

No, not to kill you.

To give you money.

Let me give it to you.

No!

No!

No!

You killed so many, Milko.

Many more than these.

Do you feel them

in the tank around you?

We ate her...

We ate her to live.

Grutas was very quick,

she felt nothing.

So, Grutas has a house?

Where?

I have difficulty hearing you.

He has a house?

Alright. alright...

Milly-la-Foret.

No! No!

She felt nothing!

No! No!

No! Please.

Oh! Inspector Popil.

What a surprise.

Found in your room.

If you kill in France...

I will see your head in a bucket.

Do you mind

if I work while we talk?

You killed Dortlich in the woods

where your family died.

His face had been eaten.

I would suspect the ravens.

Ravens who made

a shish kebab?

Cannibalism.

It happened on the Eastern Front.

But you know that, don't you?

You were there.

This is not the face of your subject.

This is the face of Vladis Grutas,

like the pictures in your room.

Did you kill him too?

- No, I didn't.

- Have you found him?

If I found him...

I give you my word,

I would bring him to your attention.

Don't fool with me.

Did you know he sawed off

the head of the Rabbi at Kaunas?

He shot gypsy children

in the woods.

He walked free at

Nuremburg because

a witness got acid

poured down her throat.

I will need your deposition.

Come with me.

Let's begin.

Put it down...

...or I'll shoot her.

Grutas has the eyes of

an arctic wolf.

He knew at once to threaten Mischa

to make me put down the spear.

At first they needed us for cover

in case troops found them.

Later... they crowded around...

feeling our cheeks and arms.

Hold it still.

Hold it still.

Mischa!

- Hold it still.

- Not in here, boss.

Not in here.

Hannibal!

I promised Mischa.

Promised to make them

pay a pound of flesh?

To pay skin for skin?

If they'd killed you,

who would punish them then?

The answer is me. I will.

If you swear to share

what you know with me,

then I will let you go.

I swear.

Jacques?

He knows something.

He'll lead us to Grutas

then we'll arrest him.

The court has to

declare him insane...

...and in an asylum

the doctors can study him

and find out what he is.

The little boy, Hannibal,

died in 1944 out in that snow.

His heart died with Mischa.

What he is now...

there is no word for it...

...except monster.

Give these men to the police.

It's Kolnas's children, isn't it?

No.

Promise me.

Hannibal!

I can't.

I can't,

I already promised Mischa.

- No word from Milko?

- No.

Come on, close the gate.

Don't worry,

I won't hit you again.

I like you now.

Maybe I'll fix your teeth.

I want to steam.

Turn it up.

I am glad you're here.

I always felt

I owed you something.

I thought you would be bigger.

I put your face on

every bully I ever hurt.

Kill him!

Answer me this.

Would you have fed me

to your little sister

because you loved her?

Yes.

There- there you have it...

Love.

I love myself that much

and I would never apologize to you.

Cut him!

Wait! Look at me!

And it won't hurt so much.

B*tch!

Get him! Go!

- Call Kolnas!

- Okay.

To continue our conversation...

Do you wish to see

Lady Murasaki alive?

Yes.

Listen to her.

Speak to your little f*** boy!

Listen, listen carefully...

I offer you a life for a life.

Bring me everything you have.

The dog tags,

Pot Watcher's little inventory,

every f***ing thing.

- Where?

- Kilometer 36...

...on the way to Trilbardou

there is a telephone kiosk.

Be there at sunrise

and wait for a call.

If you are not there...

I will send her cheeks

in the mail.

A life for a life.

- Ready to sail, sir.

- Come on!

I'm sorry your room

isn't quite ready yet.

I'll contact room service.

Please.

Eva!

Clean up the treatment room.

Our old guests are leaving.

We have a new one checking in.

Get out!

Good evening, Herr Kolnas.

You drink better wine

than you serve.

I'm calling the police.

May I get them for you?

What did I do to you?

Aside from eating my sister?

Nothing.

Are you wearing your dog tag,

Herr Kolnas?

Many people look like me.

Are you sure you have the right person?

I was slave labor

for the Nazis in the war.

I lost family too, I understand.

Well, to improve your understanding,

I went by your home...

...on the Rue Juliana.

I went into the children's room...

...with the sleeping child.

And... I picked up something

for your offal.

It's a beef roast, Kolnas.

Do you see how it feels?

Where is she?

Where is my daughter?

What did you do to her?

Your daughter is safe, Herr Kolnas.

I will give her back to you

when you give me Lady Murasaki.

If I do that,

I am a dead man.

No. Grutas will be arrested.

I won't remember your face.

Help me...

or I'll leave the child to starve.

Where is Lady Murasaki?

Grutas has a house boat.

A canal boat.

He moves around.

Where is the boat?

In the canal l'Ourcq,

west of Meaux.

Where is my child?

- Hello?

- Hello?

- Hello, Astrid?

- Yes?

Look at the children.

Look at the children.

- Why?

- Just do it!

The children are fine.

They're sleeping.

Petras...

Hello? Petras?

- You tricked me.

- No.

I kept my word.

I will spare your life

for the sake of your children.

Your boyfriend...

ate Dortlich's face

Jean, tie her up.

I'll go astern.

Help!

- Jean?

- Help me!

Grab it... grab it!

Hold it.

No! Help!

No!

No!

Hannibal.

Shot in the spine,

my little Mannlein.
