00:00:00Watch The Vampire Lestat after dark on AMC Plus or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:00:10Previously on The Vampire Lestat.
00:00:14Ask for a child.
00:00:15The light's going out of your blue eye.
00:00:18His name was Magnus.
00:00:20He kept me for a week locked in a room full of corpses.
00:00:23It's my era now.
00:00:25Is it true you were a stutterer as a child?
00:00:27You ask this question every night.
00:00:29I won two pollicers.
00:00:31I'm taking this thing to camp.
00:00:33How did I get you?
00:00:34Sophia.
00:00:35Hello, Sophia.
00:00:37My maker called for his mama and I came.
00:00:40My first paramour, Nicolas Delafonte, a violinist.
00:00:43Il est sain et sauf.
00:00:44Il a saunier.
00:00:45Tu as la feuille de toi, Nicolas, l'un des noms.
00:00:48Trop fragile.
00:00:49There were four pages torn out.
00:00:51It was better when he broke my bones.
00:00:52It was when he had me pinned and he told me he loved me.
00:00:55That fucked me up.
00:00:56We would like you to take care of our problem in Detroit.
00:01:00I believe your Claudia spent a few nights with him once.
00:01:07You were listening to The Failures, album 22, side A.
00:01:12The vainglorious homogeny of the Toronto skyline is something to behold.
00:01:18An onslaught of impractical condominiums dominated by a 147-floor waterpick.
00:01:25Its banality is lost on the polite citizenry of Canada.
00:01:28To them, it's iconic.
00:01:29And what the friends and family of Avery Olsen and Natalie Bokel-Hyde confirmed as a must-see
00:01:35when the two planned their honeymoon and waited for Avery's divorce to finalize.
00:01:38Had they stayed within the realities of their budget and consummated their union in their
00:01:43home province, the marriage might have lasted longer.
00:01:47But love born from a speed dating event in Moosjo, Sakasachuan merited an unhurried commemoration.
00:01:54Can I offer my assistance?
00:01:56Oh, mercy.
00:01:57Aren't you the angel?
00:02:00It's kind of me, sir.
00:02:02My pleasure.
00:02:03I know these moments last a lifetime.
00:02:05Just make sure we're not in the center center and that the tower isn't coming out of his head.
00:02:09The rule of thirds, the golden mean.
00:02:12And thus, amenities from the Radisson Blue honeymoon package went unused.
00:02:17Exchanged as they were for a vampiric appointment in Samara.
00:02:23Gabriela's divine intervention had raised my raptorial spirits, and I channeled our kills into prurient
00:02:31performances, licking the underside of Lake Erie in Cleveland and Buffalo before rounding
00:02:36the shaft of Lake Ontario.
00:02:43Love her.
00:02:44Where are you?
00:02:46Where are any of us, really?
00:02:48Is that him?
00:02:49Huh, give me that.
00:02:50Hey, Justin Bieber.
00:02:52I got 40 fucking people here with their hands up their asses.
00:02:55Did you misplace something, Dale?
00:02:57I'm done chasing you, bust a coffin.
00:03:00I saved your life.
00:03:01You owe me.
00:03:02Perhaps.
00:03:03I do.
00:03:04I do.
00:03:06I do.
00:03:06You'd be a head mounted above a coven toilet if it weren't for me.
00:03:10Transformational trauma, Dale.
00:03:11He's with Sophia again.
00:03:12What do you know about her?
00:03:13Mystery vagina passed its sell-by date.
00:03:16What do you mean, perhaps?
00:03:17You assume death at decapitation.
00:03:19A study done in Budapest had two Class B vampires surviving separation for nearly two hours.
00:03:24A vampire of Lestat's breeding could last four to five times.
00:03:27Chuck's dad has the herps.
00:03:29Daniel Malloy.
00:03:31Delivered unto the world April 16th, 1953, into the arms of his mother in a hospital.
00:03:36I assume it's not something vampires ask one another, the details of their mortal existence.
00:03:41It's considered rude.
00:03:44Nurtured or not nurtured, nudged in San Francisco towards a career of distinction and moderate fame.
00:03:50After the can, Chief.
00:03:51Sorry.
00:03:52Murdered and reborn July 18th, 2022, by the gremlin Armand.
00:03:57He led a brief, incidental life as a vampire.
00:04:02Incidental.
00:04:04Is that the right word?
00:04:06He found me shallow.
00:04:08I gave him every reason to.
00:04:09I have regrets when it comes to death.
00:04:12Oh, sorry.
00:04:13Yeah, he's here.
00:04:28What's that on your lip, Yada?
00:04:30Okay, we're going to be using a new camera today.
00:04:32It's called an interrotron.
00:04:34I'll be sitting here, but you're going to see my face in the camera.
00:04:37We will be like we're talking face to face.
00:04:41And we are shooting this in color, and we're going to anchor it to all the black and white
00:04:45tour footage, okay?
00:04:47So, you were a stutterer as a child.
00:04:54Evening then.
00:04:55Happy to be here.
00:04:56Could you state your name for the camera, please?
00:04:59I'm the front man, Lestat.
00:05:02The vampire Lestat.
00:05:03I'm immortal, more or less.
00:05:07The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire, Jefferson's starship,
00:05:13grot-wielding coven members.
00:05:15These things might destroy me, but there again, they might not.
00:05:34I'm a little killer.
00:05:36I'm a lonely one.
00:05:39I'm a sugar-dum-up-spy.
00:05:41Telling you to run.
00:05:43I'm a little shadow.
00:05:45I'm a last line.
00:05:47I'm a past and the future, the last of the sutures.
00:05:49There's a cool and dove.
00:05:50Where the rock and roll is.
00:05:52Where the kids head.
00:05:55Where the hover mid-loving, the face of the mother.
00:05:57Where they're stupid, right?
00:06:00Bang, bang.
00:06:02Bang, bang.
00:06:03Bang, bang.
00:06:04Bang, bang.
00:06:05Bang, bang.
00:06:06I'll fall down.
00:06:09Burn the ground.
00:06:14I'll fall down.
00:06:28Well, that was shit.
00:06:31You've said this thing to me a couple of times on the bus, backstage,
00:06:37that the songs are your story.
00:06:40Must be important if I repeat.
00:06:42Or it's a doorstop because you don't want to talk about yourself.
00:06:45I'll kick that door down, Dan.
00:06:47I'd bunk it down with my cookies and trauma.
00:06:49Exactly my thinking.
00:06:51So let's run with this.
00:06:52Let's dig into these songs and see what we get.
00:06:55You have a song, Long Face.
00:06:57The lyrics are...
00:07:01Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah, ah.
00:07:03Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah, ah.
00:07:05What's the story behind that?
00:07:08Long Face is an agreement between myself and the audience.
00:07:11Permission disguised as anthem.
00:07:13Oh, yeah, we're coming.
00:07:15Yeah, yeah, we're coming.
00:07:17Oh, yeah, I'm coming.
00:07:19Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:07:28I'm an actor in my makeup.
00:07:30I'll get fatter if and when we break up.
00:07:34Performative vampire, and at the end they get the real thing.
00:07:37Black licorice.
00:07:38Structure and ritual.
00:07:39Judge undrained, thrilled and shamed, left one anymore.
00:07:42Well, that's great because the band thinks that the song's about...
00:07:45How the current culture has misshapen the mortal mind
00:07:49and how easy and unsatisfying the bringing of death has become.
00:07:53You must have experienced this, Dan.
00:07:55The memories you take in as you kill.
00:07:57Life is an endless cachet of influencer videos,
00:08:00Russian dashcams, and shame-bidden pornography.
00:08:04Or are we still pretending that you're human?
00:08:06So not about sucking dick.
00:08:10Performative journalist.
00:08:12Were you a stutterer as a child?
00:08:18Oh, he doesn't like that question.
00:08:20Well, we can come back to it.
00:08:23Let's talk about what happened in Detroit the other night.
00:08:26Some vampires tried to kill you, yeah?
00:08:29Is it a question if you merely put yeah at the end of the sentence?
00:08:32Come in.
00:08:32A weak bunch, but they seemed organized,
00:08:36which is different than the other two attempts on your life during this tour.
00:08:39Is this self-financed vanity romp
00:08:43your vampire wishful
00:08:47spin on hope I die before I get old?
00:08:51Is my doc your eulogy?
00:08:53Did you promise him?
00:08:54I don't do promises.
00:08:56I've had 40 shows in 43 fucking nights.
00:08:59Nobody gives a fuck about what I was before.
00:09:01No one cares.
00:09:02No one seems to give a shit about you now,
00:09:04flatlining a thousand capacity venues.
00:09:06Let's take a walk.
00:09:07You're confused about the pursuit, then.
00:09:10It is not about asses on seats or streams on Pandora.
00:09:15It is about pure expression.
00:09:20Raphael's Three Graces,
00:09:22Brancuski's Bird in Space,
00:09:24Calvino's Invisible Cities.
00:09:26Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah, wah.
00:09:33It's embarrassing.
00:09:36The stutter.
00:09:37Stop the cameras.
00:09:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:09:40Let them see.
00:09:43Let them see.
00:09:46I have had 40 shows in 43 fucking nights.
00:09:57No one cares.
00:10:02No one cares.
00:10:27I'm the vampire, Louis de Pointe de Lac.
00:10:31Undone by your relentless questionings, Mr. Malloy.
00:11:02Hello.
00:11:03Well, I'm making a brief call to share an important message with you.
00:11:07You got the wrong adjective.
00:11:15I'm looking for killer.
00:11:18Don't. Don't do that. Just think it.
00:11:20I'm a vampire, just like you.
00:11:23Except I didn't disrespect my face like you done.
00:11:27What is that? Is that Jar Jar Binks dunking a basketball?
00:11:31What? Where's killer?
00:11:46Wester, you get another possum? Wester!
00:11:55I'm looking for killer.
00:11:57Cannot kill him.
00:11:58There's nothing but it starts and slowly trips.
00:12:01Anybody see killer?
00:12:07Someone's here. We got to do it.
00:12:09Hold still.
00:12:11And one, three, three, three.
00:12:13She baits himself.
00:12:15The angels are under her.
00:12:21She baits himself.
00:12:22The angels are under her.
00:12:24Killer?
00:12:28She walks the wind and has a panther with silver fur.
00:12:40Out the door.
00:12:42Through the fields.
00:12:47Keep straight five minutes.
00:12:49There's a car.
00:12:50Great dog.
00:12:52Don't look back.
00:12:56Eight wolves.
00:12:58By yourself.
00:13:00Everyone always repeats the number when I say it.
00:13:04I had a pistol, a rifle, a dagger, a mastiff.
00:13:09The stuttering wolf killer.
00:13:11Well, that was the first name for our band.
00:13:14Hello, Fort Collins.
00:13:15We are the stuttering wolf killers.
00:13:16Are you ready to rock?
00:13:18From the ages of nine to 29, you...
00:13:21Stuttered.
00:13:22I stuttered.
00:13:24Yes, and every kill I have made is a response.
00:13:27My entire psyche is formed from the deformity.
00:13:30It's like being strapped down in a dentist's chair,
00:13:33opening your mouth wide,
00:13:33only to have the dentist say,
00:13:35I'm not a dentist,
00:13:36as he lubes up a thick rubber glove.
00:13:38So, you be gentle, Dan.
00:13:42I think he's just bored by you.
00:13:45Try asking him about the great conversion.
00:13:48What happened at age nine?
00:13:51Mmm.
00:13:54I was taken to see witches being burned at a stake.
00:13:58Okay.
00:14:00Tell me about that.
00:14:03Marguerite Deray, Jeanne Baudin,
00:14:06the twins, Marthe and Aimée Roulay,
00:14:09seized their prayers and adored the devil in ceremony,
00:14:12said the torch-bearing priests.
00:14:14You remember their names.
00:14:17Teenage girls with the resonant voices of men
00:14:20screaming and thrashing for hours
00:14:22till their jawbones fell
00:14:23and the devil could sing no more.
00:14:25And you were nine.
00:14:29That's what moms did with kids
00:14:30before Lego and Peppa Pig.
00:14:33Looking back on it now,
00:14:35they were definitely witches.
00:14:36The twins, that is, Marguerite Deray, Jeanne,
00:14:38probably caught masturbating in a field
00:14:40with a few sick oxen.
00:14:42Two for fours.
00:14:43Not bad, considering it was a priestly-led sentence.
00:14:45What happened at 29?
00:14:49Hmm.
00:14:56I heard music.
00:14:58So you made it to Paris.
00:15:03Eyes closed, mouth distorted.
00:15:07What struck my heart was the way
00:15:09that his whole body leaned into the music.
00:15:13Had I the ear I have now,
00:15:14I would have found a pedestrian.
00:15:16But I was an ape from Auvergne.
00:15:19And it sounded like a guard machine
00:15:21played by an angel.
00:15:24Ah, merde!
00:15:26Take us to Excensurero next!
00:15:28I won't miss!
00:15:29Oh, it must be Al Mozart
00:15:30rising over all the disturb your peace,
00:15:32Madame Kindly.
00:15:33Peace off!
00:15:34This is Nicky,
00:15:35who you sing about in your song
00:15:38Why Do I Have to Feel?
00:15:44Nicola De L'Enfant.
00:15:47My first love.
00:15:49Tell me to piss off again!
00:15:51I am finished, Madame.
00:15:53I am finished.
00:16:02Nicola De L'Enfant.
00:16:06Laisse-ta.
00:16:08Léoncourt.
00:16:10Ah, non.
00:16:12De Valois.
00:16:14Tell me to your title.
00:16:17Wearing pantaloons.
00:16:22Trying to fit in.
00:16:24You know, Wolf Langkloch, eh?
00:16:27Good luck with that.
00:16:31What are you doing in Paris?
00:16:36Eight walls?
00:16:38Impossible.
00:16:40Stuck the heads in the square
00:16:42and the children play hide the heads with them.
00:16:45Sounds like our village.
00:16:51It's my father's, didn't she?
00:16:54Hmm.
00:16:55He gave it to me before I left.
00:16:57And your address on the Rue de Montmoron, si.
00:17:03I haven't lived there for six months.
00:17:06My father's allowance barely covers the cost of my music instruction.
00:17:10Much less rent, food, and the bribes to keep me out of the national guard.
00:17:16B'net!
00:17:25Liberti, equality, fraternity.
00:17:28and equality.
00:17:31What is it?
00:17:38You play beautifully.
00:17:44I play like a tailor's son.
00:17:53Did he say anything else?
00:17:56My dad.
00:18:03He said, um...
00:18:07Tell him I love him.
00:18:09And that I'm proud of him.
00:18:19What did he really say?
00:18:22He said, help him...
00:18:23Help him to be a man.
00:18:26But he said it without the stomach.
00:18:28Yeah.
00:18:29Hmm.
00:18:33Are you gonna teach me to be a man?
00:18:36A standard man.
00:18:37What do you want?
00:18:42It goes where you think it goes.
00:18:44All the old tropes and trapes of tortured and forbidden love, blah, blah, blah.
00:18:48Bipolar brifling, blah, blah.
00:18:49Fast forward.
00:18:52Stop.
00:18:53Vape.
00:18:54Check your phone.
00:18:56Check your phone.
00:18:56Press play.
00:18:57Oh, good.
00:18:57Now he's a vampire.
00:18:59But you're not a vampire.
00:19:00You're the stuttering ape of Auvergne.
00:19:06Any Quebecers here?
00:19:07Tongue twisters.
00:19:08Vocal exercises.
00:19:09Repeated every day for two years while I washed the floors and emptied chamber pots.
00:19:14I had a job I got through Nicky who worked in the pit there.
00:19:18Go pull up the song for him that, uh, Why Do I Have to Feel.
00:19:24Oh, I love that song.
00:19:25The stuttering.
00:19:26You just bullied it out of yourself.
00:19:28Yeah, Nicky got me the job that cured my affliction.
00:19:31It was, uh, first love, not a great love.
00:19:39Buried yourself in the ground for a century over a not great love.
00:19:43Only thing you carry with you to New Orleans is a music box reminder of a not great love.
00:19:49I carried the box because I destroyed him, Dan.
00:19:52I carried the box to remind me what I was capable of.
00:19:56You perform her song.
00:20:09Can someone do something about this?
00:20:11Quiet on set.
00:20:19Quiet on set!
00:20:36So, you perform a song every night by your abuser.
00:20:41biggest fan. Abuser. Go pull up the song. Liberator, emancipator. He says, I want to give you
00:20:51everything I've got. I know you're stubborn, but you have to ask for it. Did Magnus ask your
00:20:57permission before transforming you into a vampire? I see it as an unbroken chain of similar songs in
00:21:05pop music. Herman Herman's laying on a lamppost, Every Breath You Take by the Police. I love that
00:21:10one. Eminem Stan. According to Louis, his name was Magnus. He took me from my room in Paris as I
00:21:18kicked and screamed, locked me in a room for a week with corpses. They all look like me. I mean,
00:21:25does that even sound like me, Dan? My coloring, my physique. Where's the artful turn of phrase?
00:21:29Where's the assonance, the euphony? He fed on me for a week. I thought for sure I'd become one of
00:21:35them, but instead he turned me into this. Louis was not there when Magnus abducted me. But he
00:21:44was there in New Orleans when you recounted it. And I was not there in Dubai to correct
00:21:49his faulty recall. Yeah. You really caught my eye. I think you're something special, babe. I want to take you
00:22:06out tonight. I think we got real potential, babe. I got a battle of wine.
00:22:16And yeah, that's me at your window, babe. We're gonna have such a goddamn good time. I wanna be your
00:22:27crescendo, babe. Don't let me catch you crying. Don't tell me the spell is breaking.
00:22:37You're so perfect in that raging light. I know I'm hard to look at sometimes, but I'm here for the
00:22:47taking.
00:22:49I wanna give you everything I got. I know you're starting to do after. I can tell you everything I'm
00:23:00not. Yeah, I'm a dog and you're my brave little wolf, yeah.
00:23:20I understood my maker. If I had seen 19 straight performances of my Lilio, I would have abandoned all decorum,
00:23:28too.
00:23:29Abandoned decorum. He made you a monster and killed himself in front of you.
00:23:36I was an actor at a second-tier theater squatting in a beheaded nobleman's flat with a severely depressed look.
00:23:42Why are you still bordering my beauty? How was the kielbasa? Very crafty.
00:23:48And as for the suicide, it gave me a likeness that I would not have known had he looted the
00:23:52centuries beside me.
00:23:54I see the burden written on your face, Stan. When I say God and you say monster, is it your
00:24:03absence but very much alive father walking around that gives you this lowly idea of yourself, son of Armand?
00:24:10Who needs another victim song? Exactly. Very rock and roll. Still, it must have been hard keeping that from Nicky.
00:24:21Armand got that part right in my book.
00:24:24He confronted you on the street, abducted Nicky, fed him to his coven, and yet, you hid your vampirism from
00:24:32him, yeah? Question mark.
00:24:35You're safe. You are now roomy in Paris.
00:24:39What am I weak?
00:24:41Delirium took you. I've been your nursemaid. You've been to all company.
00:24:49And this?
00:24:53A rush.
00:24:55The batting is typhoid. Also the doctor you slept through.
00:24:58Our favorite game. You lie. And I believe you.
00:25:03Remember me?
00:25:04A man's sickle!
00:25:06Gone out of the window!
00:25:08I saw nothing unnatural happened!
00:25:11You were down, wearing silk pictures.
00:25:13Oh God, you're so patient.
00:25:15Lies on lies on lies. Sudden vanishings.
00:25:19Your change dies.
00:25:23Oh, and your mother.
00:25:26I wish she alive.
00:25:28I brought it to Roca Maduro. Procure a black madonna blaster.
00:25:33Ah, your...
00:25:35What? Your mother?
00:25:40The vampire Gabriella.
00:25:42The blood of her lips more alive!
00:25:46How? What?
00:25:49She followed me to Paris.
00:25:51Her body was ready to die, but her mind was not.
00:25:56My first fledgling.
00:26:00Louis must have told you.
00:26:01No.
00:26:02I thought it was discretion that kept her out of your book.
00:26:07My love was a small box that I kept him in.
00:26:09No room for the many hours I talked of her, I guess.
00:26:13And...
00:26:14She...
00:26:14Where is she now?
00:26:16She's here right now.
00:26:23Right...
00:26:24Here.
00:26:29She died.
00:26:32Vampire toddlerdom.
00:26:33Always the hardest years, as you know.
00:26:36Or don't know, Dan.
00:26:38Hm.
00:26:44What do you think about the great conversion?
00:26:46Oh.
00:26:48The vampire thing.
00:26:50Vampires taking over the world, collaborating.
00:26:52Hmm?
00:26:55Fucking stupid.
00:26:57Can you get out of my eye line?
00:27:03Yeah.
00:27:07Three flights up.
00:27:10Your bones would be pieces.
00:27:12What are you?
00:27:13What is she?
00:27:16Mother.
00:27:17Outside the theatre.
00:27:18The ragged man calling wolf killer.
00:27:21Blackened passages and dog-toothed fiends.
00:27:24I'm waiting.
00:27:25You are gibberish.
00:27:27I want to know you in this change form.
00:27:30Don't look to her.
00:27:31Don't look to her.
00:27:31Roger has brought you a house on the key.
00:27:34I have opened a bank account in your name.
00:27:35I could move to a there and then send cloth.
00:27:38Don't buy me a house.
00:27:39Don't buy me a house.
00:27:39No, please.
00:27:40Please.
00:27:42She speaks my thoughts before I speak them.
00:27:46You gave this witchery to her.
00:27:50She was an hour from death.
00:27:52Finally.
00:27:54That needs it.
00:27:59Do you want me to murder you?
00:28:01I want you to love me enough to give it to me.
00:28:16You cannot do it.
00:28:20You mustn't do it.
00:28:30I've driven him mad.
00:28:32I know I leave him to this madness.
00:28:35You have used up your affection for him.
00:28:38You know you have.
00:28:41Don't bring him into eternity.
00:28:49Disaster, my son.
00:28:54His playing has greatly improved.
00:28:57I cannot hear the actors over his improvement.
00:29:00Well, I prefer his music to Gustav's acting.
00:29:02Well, you can return to the role any time you wish.
00:29:06And have your cumbersome words in my mouth again?
00:29:08No, thank you.
00:29:13There are blood drinkers in Italy.
00:29:16Excuse me?
00:29:18There are covens like this one in Roma, Venezia, Salerno.
00:29:23Does Nicola know about us?
00:29:25Us?
00:29:27What is us?
00:29:28Do you think you're the only one in the company he drinks from?
00:29:31Do you think I am the only one with disdain for his fledgling?
00:29:34Take him aside.
00:29:36You're the active manager?
00:29:37Manage.
00:29:38You're his maker.
00:29:39Make him.
00:29:40Is there an evil older than you?
00:29:44Your maker, Marius?
00:29:45My maker is dead.
00:29:46I've told you that already.
00:29:47Just check.
00:29:52I'll give you the theater of the vampires!
00:29:55The greatest spectacle of the boulevard!
00:30:06He was Germanic as a mortal.
00:30:08You'll find his way.
00:30:09No, he won't.
00:30:10I believe you.
00:30:12I love you, Lester.
00:30:14Christ.
00:30:17There's not room enough in this box for your desperation.
00:30:24Is anyone seeing a letter opener?
00:30:26We don't need a letter opener, Nicky.
00:30:27We don't get any letters.
00:30:28You want to talk about your recent work in the theater, Nicola?
00:30:31He's not in the chamber pot.
00:30:32I left it there a week ago.
00:30:33You don't like my music, Metro.
00:30:35Well, it's not me.
00:30:36It's my hands.
00:30:37But I don't have my letter opener.
00:30:39I think the music will improve once I find the letter opener.
00:30:44We think you should take some time away from the theater, Nicky.
00:30:52Did you two decide this in the wings?
00:30:54Huh?
00:30:55Or the box?
00:30:56The Place Dauphine?
00:30:58Last Sunday?
00:30:59The Hotel de Ville?
00:31:01And the Feast of Assumption?
00:31:03And the Night After?
00:31:03Stop!
00:31:04Don't stop! Look at me! Look at me!
00:31:08I left it here!
00:31:09I left it here!
00:31:10Yes, I warned.
00:31:11His mind is critical.
00:31:12You opened up a letter from your mother!
00:31:13How dare you open up my letter?
00:31:16He pouted and shouted!
00:31:17I was trying to make the opener happy.
00:31:20I was trying to give it purpose!
00:31:24Here it is.
00:31:37Lesta.
00:31:39Can you cut the other?
00:31:42I fear I won't be able to with only one now.
00:31:46Can you help him, please?
00:31:48Are you Nicky?
00:31:50No, no.
00:31:51Nicky is going to stone away too soon, Danny.
00:31:53Stop!
00:31:54Would you point away?
00:31:55Thank you ever so much.
00:31:56Stop, Nicky!
00:31:57No!
00:32:05It's all a misunderstanding, my love.
00:32:08I wish to serve the God of the Darkwood like the rest.
00:32:12Forgive me.
00:32:13My hands are much older than the rest of me.
00:32:19Forgive me.
00:32:29Gabriela went to Coffin.
00:32:32Leaving us.
00:32:34And Armand.
00:32:39I told Nicky that I loved him.
00:32:44From the first seconds I saw him in Paris.
00:32:50That I was drunk with his love.
00:32:56I was engulfed by it.
00:32:59Your maker would tell you I was being kind, but...
00:33:05In the moment...
00:33:08The words were true.
00:33:15I think...
00:33:22I remember the light.
00:33:26Fireplace.
00:33:30Reflecting golden onto his face.
00:33:35And his...
00:33:36Bare arms.
00:33:43But I was not looking at the world.
00:33:46I could not.
00:33:54I, um...
00:33:57I couldn't do it.
00:34:03But I watched.
00:34:09As Armand...
00:34:12Pushed him into the fire.
00:34:15And made sure he stayed there.
00:34:19With a poker in his chest.
00:34:30Nicky had a bemused look on his face as he burned.
00:34:34His mouth.
00:34:38Formed into it.
00:34:43A circle.
00:34:46And he made only one sound.
00:35:10As though he knew...
00:35:12As though he knew...
00:35:13That in death...
00:35:17It was a nothingness.
00:35:26Remember me?
00:35:28Remember me?
00:35:28Can we get something that...
00:35:31Yeah, okay, we're cutting.
00:35:32We tried booking something called the Ryan Center in Kingston, Rhode Island.
00:35:368,000 seats.
00:35:37I thought this deep in we'd be able to fill it.
00:35:40We sold 2,500 including a papering service.
00:35:44Unlike your last vampire, there are no delusions here.
00:35:48Are...
00:35:52Arduous...
00:35:53Is to her...
00:35:56My ego.
00:35:58And still...
00:35:59It's not what I hunt.
00:36:02Never say I didn't give you anything.
00:36:04Keys.
00:36:06Let Larry run it!
00:36:09How is check me?
00:36:12Like...
00:36:12Fun for three minutes, then you're longing for Prague.
00:36:16Prague is that way.
00:36:17You can dig yourself a hole in cork and be buried in a matya the night after.
00:36:21Provoked.
00:36:23Bored.
00:36:23Ah, you'll run fewer reds that way.
00:36:26There's a shameful tiki bar in Parkdale.
00:36:30Rain check, Sofia.
00:36:42Well...
00:36:43That took forever.
00:36:45Right?
00:36:47Alright, run it back.
00:36:49I don't know.
00:36:50Four minutes.
00:36:52Been trying to crack those cheeks for two months.
00:36:56Vampires.
00:36:57They're weird just like you.
00:37:00Okay.
00:37:01Let's see what we got here.
00:37:08What the hell?
00:37:10Go back a few more minutes, please.
00:37:13Stop.
00:37:15Wait a second.
00:37:17What am I looking at here?
00:37:19Did you go back far enough?
00:37:21Alright, let's keep going back.
00:37:24Yeah, right about there.
00:37:25Stop.
00:37:26Can you get out of my eye line?
00:37:29Yeah.
00:37:31What?
00:37:35Where's the part where he talks about transforming Nicky?
00:37:40They...
00:37:41What?
00:37:42What?
00:37:43He just...
00:37:43He just...
00:37:44Just sat there like a fucking blow-up doll and no one said anything?
00:37:48Nothing?
00:37:49You gotta be fucking kidding me.
00:37:51What is this?
00:37:52No, yeah.
00:37:53It was frickin' Weirdsville.
00:37:54Two years sat there for like half an hour, eh?
00:37:59He was crying fucking blood tears.
00:38:02Did no one see that?
00:38:03A mean-spirited, telepathic prank.
00:38:06The price paid for amusing my muses.
00:38:09It brought poor Dan to his knees and seeded a hate for me inside him.
00:38:14There to be warded in the sunlight later.
00:38:17But what can I say?
00:38:19Serving cunt has its consequences.
00:38:25You are listening to The Failures, album 28, side B.
00:38:32You gonna carry me into the threshold?
00:38:34Yes, ma'am.
00:38:35Mm-hmm.
00:38:43Come here.
00:38:45I got you, baby.
00:38:49You gonna make me a momma, huh?
00:38:51I don't think it works like that for us no more, but we can give it a try.
00:38:57We're home!
00:39:05I told these people so shallow.
00:39:08You're trying to get back to my good stuff.
00:39:12Come on.
00:39:13I got you to bed.
00:39:18That don't happen.
00:39:30Surprise!
00:39:33Congrats on a happy day.
00:39:35I couldn't make it to the ceremony.
00:39:37I hope you don't mind me inviting myself to the honeymoon.
00:39:40You make that mess upstairs, friend?
00:39:43I did.
00:39:47Where's the food?
00:39:50I'll call a maneuver.
00:39:59What the fuck did you do to my husband?
00:40:08Amaya told the truth?
00:40:10You wanna tell me what that is?
00:40:12Oh, shit!
00:40:13This is, okay.
00:40:15This is about the fucking little stab shit.
00:40:19Uh, okay.
00:40:20Yeah, that...
00:40:21That wasn't my fault.
00:40:24I had these Gen Z fledglings.
00:40:26These righteous fuckers who thinks we ought to be in the sewers and shit.
00:40:30Shhh.
00:40:31He's my baby Jenks.
00:40:32His baby...
00:40:32Shut up, Bruce.
00:40:34You call me Bruce?
00:40:37Because my name is Killer.
00:40:55You and I have a friend in common.
00:41:00More wine.
00:41:04Cold tea, they call it here, I hear.
00:41:08Mm.
00:41:10Apples with a hint of...
00:41:13cowardice.
00:41:16Still in rags?
00:41:17Is this better?
00:41:23Same face, same smell.
00:41:25No hope for you, Father Megs.
00:41:28Not exactly forthcoming with the vampire journalist.
00:41:32Left out a few prickly details.
00:41:37Uh-oh.
00:41:39You forgot to put your blinkers on.
00:41:47Bruce walked back from the fire.
00:41:49Leaned down over me.
00:41:51And for a second I thought I was gonna go right there.
00:41:55But no.
00:41:56He plunked me onto his motorbike.
00:41:59And swished into his friendly self.
00:42:03The Monster had it into the damage.
00:42:05The Lord's right hand is into the damage.
00:42:05The Lord's right hand is middle.
00:42:07The Lord's right hand is魔ise.
00:42:10The Lord's right hand is inside.
00:42:13The Lord is right hand is in the damage.
00:42:15The Lord is right hand will become dead.
00:42:16But will live and proclaim what the law is doenым.
00:42:19The won't to end is that's what he thinks!
00:42:21Back in sight!
00:42:24You've got your song
00:42:27When we got to his house
00:42:30I guess my biggest question is
00:42:32Why are you checking me down now?
00:42:34I mean, we all read your little page turner
00:42:36And it's all going dumb in my mind too
00:42:39Crossed out
00:42:41New sentence
00:42:43You tipped over the collywobble shelf
00:42:46And took the cloth off the long table
00:42:48We eat your soul
00:42:51At the long table
00:42:53Sixty-eight courses so far
00:42:56We keep waiting for the bill, but the plates keep coming
00:42:59And we keep asking ourselves
00:43:01When's he going to make an album?
00:43:05When we are ready!
00:43:09She entertains a lot of little French folks with her death
00:43:14I don't do nothing that bad to her, Daddy Lou
00:43:19Guess I don't have to tell you, dear diary
00:43:22What it's like to have a person crack your spine
00:43:25Open you up and shove a pencil inside you
00:43:28Very hard company at the long table
00:43:32A hand
00:43:34A finger
00:43:36A drummer
00:43:38No!
00:43:39A pimp
00:43:41You
00:43:42A time
00:43:43Don't have to tell you
00:43:45You
00:43:45Don't have to tell me
00:43:48And I fought him
00:43:49Even with my broken arm
00:43:51And then my re-broken arm
00:43:54but even still all the bad things happen that bad men do he had my legs pulled apart
00:44:04and my dress pulled up around my waist and that awful stuffed full too wet feeling down there
00:44:17like i was packed with dirt and i hope one day he feels this small and cornered and crushed like
00:44:31it can
00:44:33but then there was a part where he brought home kills and i sat with him
00:44:42and ate i just said what he wanted to hear
00:44:51ask for it child and it ain't easy to like myself because of it
00:44:58oh the light's gone out of your blue eyes i even once felt a twinge of something nice
00:45:06as if all the summer days are gone and not the worst thing ever
00:45:20he let me go because i seemed small and it looked like he won
00:45:26and he did win because i want nothing
00:45:32to be nothing and say nothing and do nothing
00:45:41you know the stupidest of all dear diary
00:45:46i thought i was the thing lurking in the shadows
00:45:51i thought i was
00:46:03that's it
00:46:25i imagine you naked in your gold gilded bed
00:46:29wondering why it didn't end on the highway
00:46:32how i got on stage the following night to another feverishly modest audience
00:46:39i couldn't pretend anymore that we were a ticket master must have
00:46:43or that i wasn't having a nervous breakdown
00:46:45or that psychosis wasn't the exhilarating horrifying byproduct of romping and stomping around the hippocampus
00:46:52but here's the thing i loved the music i loved it
00:46:58it was compelling me forward pulling me through the perennial walls of my psyche
00:47:03and i thought why not ride it to blindness
00:47:07because it seemed possible
00:47:09this was the muddy bottom
00:47:11and on the other side a marble floor
00:47:14polished to the horizon
00:47:15music in its purest expression
00:47:19would make me worse
00:47:20and then make me better
00:47:23bring on the music
00:47:25you can't fuck away

00:49:37And you stay.
00:49:39And you stay.
00:49:40With resemblance.
00:49:43You can't escape.
00:49:47This loneliness.
00:49:51It'll pray.
00:49:53It'll press.
00:49:54How could anybody
00:49:56ever learn?
00:49:59Oh.
00:50:01Oh.
00:50:04Oh.
00:50:05Don't hide it away.
00:50:09Oh.

00:50:21great dirt on
00:50:24your own.

00:50:32Hi. You okay? I'm gonna get you anything else.
00:50:34I'm good. Thank you.

00:50:45Oh.
00:50:46Oh.
00:50:48Oh.
00:50:52Oh.
00:50:55Oh.
00:50:56I'm gonna...
00:51:09Perfection.
00:51:15So they're out there, killing it, every night.
00:51:20And I'm following them, you know, on my phone, refresh, refresh, refresh.
00:51:27And they're blowing up.
00:51:29You're going to hear about them soon, if you haven't already.
00:51:35I'm stuck here in Monroe, Ohio, of all places.
00:51:41No offense.
00:51:45And God, I just want to drink.
00:51:48I feel sorry for myself.
00:51:53Yeah, thank you for giving me another way through.
00:51:58Thank you for sharing.
00:52:05So, who else wants to share tonight?
00:52:11Come on, guys.
00:52:13I will.
00:52:15I'll share.
00:52:17Um, hello.
00:52:22My name is Arun.
00:52:26Hi, Arun.
00:52:27Hi, Arun.
00:52:28Hello, Arun.
00:52:29And I am an addict.
00:52:40Listen to tracks from the Vampire Lestat, wherever you stream music.
00:52:47I am the toxic bitch, Godless Stark.
00:52:53Oh, now you filthy little monster beast.
00:53:00Hi, what can I get you?
00:53:02Lestat is going to get us all killed.
00:53:04I've got five more shows.
00:53:06I'm getting bored.
00:53:08So, what are we doing?
00:53:09Shall we scorch the mortal world?
00:53:16The stuttering wolf killer.
00:53:19The Vampire Lestat.
00:53:20Evening then.
00:53:22Happy to be here.
00:53:23You really caught my eye.
00:53:26Malloy is a deft investigator, but he's never investigated anybody like this before, and that's
00:53:32going to become really clear in this episode.
00:53:34Were you a stutterer as a child?
00:53:36It's a really wild interview scene.
00:53:38I mean, there's like 300 things happening at one time.
00:53:41You perform a song every night by your abuser, Magnus.
00:53:46Biggest fan.
00:53:48Abuser.
00:53:57You see the music video of how Lestat wants to portray his transformation, and he's like,
00:54:04I'm going to write you my, you know, sweet little Taylor Swift pop ballad song.
00:54:10Make a fool out of my maker.
00:54:17He wants to think about it as like, he was my fan and he made me.
00:54:21But of course, the truth within that episode asserts itself.
00:54:30We cast Damien Atkins as Magnus.
00:54:32He's a terrifying, vulnerable creature.
00:54:36And the transformation that he inflicts upon Lestat is incredibly violent.
00:54:43Ready, and action.
00:54:46We were trying to really make it as brutal as we possibly could.
00:54:50So that had a real contrast to his kind of gilded music video version that he wanted to show.
00:55:00And then Damien's got this incredible like neck blood pump, you know, that I'm getting rained on beneath and blood
00:55:08going into my eyes.
00:55:10And we tried to make it as gruesome as possible and really show that it was an actual assault.
00:55:15And that is something that Lestat like completely carries through his life as his transformation was full on kidnapping, assault.
00:55:25He's got to reconcile that on a daily basis.
00:55:33And what happened at 29?
00:55:37Nicolas DeLenfant, my first love.
00:55:41Don't bring him into eternity.
00:55:49Disaster, my son.
00:55:50Gabriela cannot bear Nicky.
00:55:53I think she really is being honest and I think she's absolutely right.
00:55:56She knows that Lestat doesn't really want to spend eternity with Nicky.
00:56:00Does Nicolas know about us?
00:56:02Us?
00:56:04What is us?
00:56:05This is one of those scenes that I was really interested to see how they were going to revisit the
00:56:10theater.
00:56:11Je t'aime.
00:56:12Je t'aime aussi.
00:56:14This is basically a revisit of Armand's story to Daniel in episode three of season two.
00:56:22But now it's through Lestat's eyes, which arguably is maybe the more truthful version.
00:56:27I love you, Lestat.
00:56:29Christ.
00:56:30And there's also the dynamic of Gabriela.
00:56:33Oh, she doesn't like Armand.
00:56:34Do you think you're the only one in the company he drinks from?
00:56:38Do you think I am the only one with disdain for his fledgling?
00:56:41Armand is like the consummate third wheel in every situation.
00:56:44Louis and Lestat, Armand.
00:56:46Gabriela and Lestat, Armand.
00:56:47And Armand's jealousy really shows.
00:56:54He knew that Nicky couldn't withstand what it takes to live this life.
00:57:00He was already unstable before he became a vampire.
00:57:02And Armand has seen vampires succumb to the madness.
00:57:06So he's not surprised when it finally turns.
00:57:11I couldn't do it.
00:57:13But I watched as Armand pushed him into the fire.
00:57:17I made sure he stayed there.
00:57:23Molloy thinks he strikes gold.
00:57:26As it turns out, that's an illusion.
00:57:30What am I looking at here?
00:57:31What is this?
00:57:32No, yeah, it was frickin' weirdsville to you to sat there for like half an hour, eh?
00:57:37It is a mean-spirited prank in the fact that Molloy didn't get it on camera.
00:57:41But he is talking truth to Molloy when he gives him his telepathic story about what happened there.
00:57:47It's more of a shared experience between the two of them.
00:57:50The anger is deep.
00:57:51To some degree, Lestat is bullying Daniel.
00:57:54And I don't respond well to bullying.
00:57:56And I will push back hard.
00:57:59We would like you to take care of our problem in Detroit, Mr. Dulac.
00:58:05The coven leader's name is Bruce.
00:58:08I believe your Claudia spent a few nights with him once.
00:58:12At the end of episode two, Raglan James tempts Louie with this getting revenge on the guy who hurt Claudia.
00:58:20And Louie has a big hole in his heart.
00:58:24And he feels like doing this will fill it.
00:58:27Making a brief call to share an important message with you.
00:58:29You got the wrong ad.
00:58:30The wrong ad.
00:58:33That first section when he's trying to get to Bruce.
00:58:35He's doing his job.
00:58:36What?
00:58:37I'm looking for killer.
00:58:39You're not killer.
00:58:40Bester.
00:58:41Okay.
00:58:41He's become so adept at doing this.
00:58:44He's very efficient.
00:58:45And also, he's held himself back a lot from having that kind of killer instinct.
00:58:51So then when it comes out, it, like, it explodes.
00:58:56The thing that I actually found creepiest about that set was the bathtubs and the people lying in there fully
00:59:02clothed.
00:59:04And I was talking to one of the people that was in the bathtub.
00:59:07I was like, is that cold or is that warm?
00:59:08And they were like, it's warm.
00:59:11I was like, okay, so it's like a bath.
00:59:13It's still horrible.
00:59:17He wanted Bruce to understand on some level a degree of the pain and of the suffering that he put
00:59:25Claudia under.
00:59:27You and I have a friend in common.
00:59:31I personally had a kind of complicated relationship with Louie reading Claudia's diary entry.
00:59:37Because I sort of felt like that's not really his place, but I think Louie thinks that he's speaking on
00:59:43her behalf.
00:59:44And it looked like he'd won and he did win because I want nothing to be nothing.
00:59:54It's just important that before he dies, he can hear it for himself.
00:59:58The hell that he created.
01:00:00And then it's done.
01:00:14I think one of the most poignant moments of this season up to this point is we see him in
01:00:20that diner.
01:00:20I think he realizes almost immediately that it can't bring her back.
01:00:25It can't undo the pain.
01:00:28Hi, you okay?
01:00:29How can I get you anything else?
01:00:30I'm good.
01:00:31Thank you, Regina.
01:01:06Thank you, Regina.
