"You already tried three years ago, and failed. You rather surrendered and turned yourself in."

"I wanted you to know exactly where I am and where you can always find me." And with that, by turning himself in, he had given Will free will. "And you did find me."
"You've asked me, if it was good to see you. It wasn't. Now it is."
Hannibal inhaled the salty air deeply into his lungs, just as he took in the sight of the man right next to him. "Walls are eroding like this cliff."

Will: "Now you're here with me."
Hannibal: "And the bluff is still eroding. You and I are suspended over the roiling Atlantic. Soon all of this will be lost to the sea." 3.13
