The camera zooms out to a long shot towards the crowd however Hannibal is easily detected due to the fact that he stands out, as if the lights are on him.

The evening is carried on with the performers in Hannibals house. Hannibals seems to be an wealthy man becayse of his cloths and house as well as his behaviour as a rich man.

Whilst hannibal is tidying up, police officer(Edward Norton), he is investigating a killer. He has come to Hannibals home to get his views on the murderer however when hannibal walks out of the room the officer has a glance at a book of Hannibals and realises that the killer is Hannibal, at the same time Hannibal strikes him with a knife with a close up on Hannibals face saying " just relax it wont hurt" however the officer strikes back and shoots the hannibal.
