Hannibal has been simplifying things in his house in anticipation of leaving, so there are only two things in the safe: an accordian folder of documents and a stack of three bundles of hundred dollar bills. Hannibal takes the money out first, putting it in his suitcase for the moment, then the folder, with which he does the same. At the moment the documents are only for Will and himself, but he has set into motion the creation of papers for Bedelia duMaurier. He had planned to bring the psychiatrist with him had Will gone through with his betrayal, as a companion and a project. He saw in Dr. duMaurier many of the same things he saw in Will, most importantly an innate capacity for and an aesthetic appreciation of exquisite violence. He has long been fond of her, but that fondness has always been dispassionate, sterile, his desire to be seen more like a game to lead Bedelia step by step down a dark path.

Prepared, Hannibal left the bedroom to head to the door, trusting Will to follow.
