Background
When Reba tries to run, Francis Dolarhyde sets his house on fire and appears to kill himself, though she escapes; he has faked his death. Will presents a plan to stage Hannibal's escape to lure Dolarhyde out, and Hannibal agrees when Will asks him personally. Dolarhyde kills his guards during the fake escape, and Hannibal takes Will to the cliffside house where he had kept Abigail and Miriam Lass.
Dolarhyde attacks and wounds them both, and they kill him together. Hannibal tells Will "this is all I ever wanted for you", and Will admits "it's beautiful" before embracing him and pulling them off the cliff, leaving their fates unknown. A post-credits scene shows Du Maurier, her leg amputated and cooked, at a table set for three.
