Hannibal Lecter: serial killer he worked on catching. Jack Crawford: crappy boss who worked him to the bone to his detriment.
Don't let him get away with brushing off the Hannibal thing, they knew each other pretty well and it seems like there's a lot of codependent weirdness there. Could be a simple case of being Stockholm Syndrome-d, but my gut says it's a lot more complicated than that.
It is a lot more complicated than that. There was actual brainwashing and a conflation of values and a genuine understanding that’s hard to brush off, even when it comes with what you know is a heavy dose of manipulation.
Like the other guy said, it's complicated. Both, basically.
I don't think there's a high risk of him falling victim to it again here. He's not a weak-minded or easily led person. It was a weird and unusual combination of factors. Probably still something somebody should be aware of if he spends time talking with their violent and charismatic inmate, though.
