[It takes a great deal to shock Hannibal Lecter. This young woman has done it with a word.
All at once, he is reminded of Duplicity's capacity for cruelty. He is impressed, despite his disgust. Somewhere in the many, many universes, a man shares his face. He is a father.
Hannibal's daughter is gone. Twice now. He will not get her back a third time. He releases her, his expression contorting with his own confusion -- and real pain.]
I ...am sorry, but no, young lady. I am not your father. My name is Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
