Sakizuke (Hannibal)
"Sakizuke" is the second episode of the second season of the psychological thriller–horror series Hannibal. It is the 15th overall episode of the series and was written by co-executive producer Jeff Vlaming and series creator Bryan Fuller, and directed by Tim Hunter. It was first broadcast on March 7, 2014, on NBC.
The series is based on characters and elements appearing in Thomas Harris' novels Red Dragon and Hannibal, with focus on the relationship between FBI special investigator Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), a forensic psychiatrist destined to become Graham's most cunning enemy. The episode revolves around BAU continuing the investigation of the serial killer, having just found a recent corpse who escaped from his "human mural". Katz asks Graham for help in the case, and she will help in proving his innocence.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.50 million household viewers and gained a 0.8/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received critical acclaim, with critics praising the episode for maintaining momentum from a promising season premiere, the opening scene, the performances and cinematography.
At the grain silo, Roland Umber (Ryan Field) removes himself from the attached bodies but loses part of his skin in the progress. He exits the silo just as the killer arrives in a truck. Umber runs through a cornfield while the killer chases him with a rifle. He suddenly finds himself cornered as he reaches the edge of a cliff towards a river. Seeing no other choice, he jumps off the cliff. However, he hits a rock before he hits the water, dying from the impact.
Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) visits Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) at his office and tells him she will no longer serve as his psychiatrist, deeming him dangerous and finding herself unable to change him. BAU recovers Umber's corpse, but the team thinks the killer discarded the body. Lecter detects the scent of a cornfield on Umber's body, but does not share this information with the BAU team. During the investigation, Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) realizes that Katz (Hettienne Park) consulted Graham (Hugh Dancy) on cases without permission. He chastises her, but gives her tacit permission to continue consulting Graham. Meanwhile, Lecter resumes therapy with Graham, who has asked him for help, claiming that he is uncertain whether or not he or Lecter is guilty. From pictures of the bodies, Graham deduces the killer is working on a "human mural" by stitching corpses together.
Despite being warned by Crawford to stop meeting him, Katz asks Graham for more information. He deduces that Umber escaped and died during his getaway. To return the favor, Katz promises to help Graham prove his innocence. Lecter manages to find the grain silo containing the corpses. He climbs to the roof of the silo and, looking down, sees the bodies laid out in a mural in the shape of a human eye. The killer enters the silo and Lecter greets him politely.
Later, Lecter accompanies the BAU in investigating the silo, and is shown the mural, with the killer's body now sewn into the position Umber escaped from. The killer's body has also had his leg cut off to fit into position. At a session with his therapist (Martin Donovan), Crawford states he does not feel guilty about his treatment of Graham, but of the consequences he claims affected others. Lecter and Katz once again consult Graham, who deduces that the body at the center of the mural is the killer's, and was placed there by a second murderer. Flashbacks reveal that Lecter was the person who killed him and stitched him into the mural, convincing the killer to complete his own work so that God will be able to see him in his art. Graham is later visited by Prurnell (Cynthia Nixon), who offers him a chance to avoid death penalty by pleading guilty, but Graham refuses to cooperate. Bedelia then visits Graham, and despite being warned by the guards to keep her distance, closely approaches Graham to say, "I believe you" before she is removed. That night, Lecter arrives at Bedelia's house, planning to kill her. However, he finds her house abandoned and the furniture covered, discovering that she has left him a bottle of her perfume.
In February 2014, it was announced that the second episode of the season would be titled "Sakizuke" and that it would be written by co-executive producer Jeff Vlaming and series creator Bryan Fuller and Tim Hunter directing. This was Fuller's 12th writing credit, Vlaming's first writing credit, and Hunter's third directing credit.
