Jack Crawford's patience is wearing thin as Hannibal's second season draws to a close.

The FBI agent has been playing along with Will Graham's (Hugh Dancy) plan to slowly corner Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) into an arrest-worthy scenario, but this course of action has been dragging on far too long for Jack's (Laurence Fishburne) taste. While the season will end with a life-threatening battle between Hanni and Jack, it probably won't begin because the latter chose to abandon his current scheme.

"He feels very far committed, and he's hoping that his investment in Will will pay off," explained series creator Bryan Fuller, according to TV Guide. "This is a man who already betrayed Will once and didn't believe Will when it was most important for him to believe him. He's in a really tricky position. What's wonderful about Laurence's performance in these last couple episodes is that you feel this is a man who's barely holding on to rage and betrayal and confusion. And yet, he's guided by his strength of character and his perception of right and wrong."

As Will prepares to die thanks to the trap he has concocted and Hannibal plans to flee during "Mizumono," will Jack manage to survive Hannibal's onslaught?
