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-your-spine, telling 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, the cooing down.
00:05:50Where the rock and roll is, where the guitar, where the hop of me love, and the face of the
00:05:57mother,
00:05:57where the stupid rhyme.
00:06:00Bang, bang.
00:06:01Bang, bang.
00:06:02Bang, 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.
00:06:17Burn the ground.
00:06:19Bang, bang, bang.
00:06:24Bang, bang, bang.
00:06:27Bang, bang.
00:06:28Well, that was shit.
00:06:32You've said this thing to me a couple of times on the bus, backstage, that the songs are your story.
00:06:40Must be important if I repeat.
00:06:41Or it's a doorstop because you don't want to talk about yourself.
00:06:45Mmm, I'll kick that door down, Dan.
00:06:47I'd bunk it down with my cookies and trauma.
00:06:49Exactly my thinking.
00:06:51Exactly my thinking.
00:06:51So, let's run with this.
00:06:52Let's dig into these songs and see what we get.
00:07:07Mm-hmm.
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, 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.
00:07:40Judge 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-written 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.
00:08:22Um, let'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?
00:08:32Pretty weak bunch, but they seemed, uh, organized.
00:08:35Which is different than the other two attempts on your life during this tour.
00:08:40Is this self-financed vanity romp your 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, flatlining 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.
00:09:24Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, wah, wah.
00:09:33It's embarrassing.
00:09:36Stutter.
00:09:37Stop the cameras.
00:09:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:09:39Come on.
00:09:40Let them see.
00:09:43Let them see.
00:09:44I have had 40 shows in 43 fucking nights.
00:09:58No one cares.
00:10:27I'm the vampire Louis de Pointe-de-Lac, undone by your relentless questionings, Mr. Malloy.
00:11:03Hello, I'm making a brief call to share an important message with you.
00:11:07You got the wrong adju-
00:11:08The wrong adju-
00:11:15I'm looking for Killer, don't, don't do that, just think it.
00:11:20I'm a vampire, just like you, except I didn't disrespect my face like you done.
00:11:27What is that?
00:11:28Is that Jar Jar Binks dunking a basketball?
00:11:32Binks.
00:11:33Binks.
00:11:33Where's Killer?
00:11:55I'm looking for Killer.
00:11:57Killer?
00:11:58Cannot kill him.
00:11:59Okay.
00:12:00Oh, hey, y'all.
00:12:02Anybody see Killer?
00:12:08Someone's here, we got him on, he's still.
00:12:11And what?
00:12:12You see Killer?
00:12:14Very much.
00:12:22Killer?
00:12:27Killer?
00:12:38How the door?
00:12:42This feels...
00:12:44Oh!
00:12:44He just got.
00:12:47Keep straight five minutes
00:12:49There's a car, a great dodge
00:12:52Don't look back
00:12:57Eight wolves by yourself
00:13:00Everyone always repeats a number when I say it
00:13:04I had a pistol, a rifle, a dagger, a mastiff
00:13:09The stuttering wolf killer
00:13:11No, that was the first name for our band
00:13:13Hello, Fort Collins, we 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, yes
00:13:25And 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
00:13:32Opening your mouth wide only to have the dentist say
00:13:35I'm not a dentist
00:13:36As he lubes up a thick rubber glove
00:13:37So you be gentle, Dan
00:13:42I think he's just bored by you
00:13:44Try asking him about the great conversion
00:13:48What happened at age nine?
00:13:51Hmm
00:13:54I was taken to see witches being burned at a stake
00:13:58Okay
00:13:59Tell me about that
00:14:03Marguerite Deray
00:14:04Jeanne Baudin
00:14:06The twins
00:14:07Marthe
00:14:08And Aimée Roulay
00:14:09Sees their prayers
00:14:10And adored the devil in ceremony
00:14:12Said the torch-bearing priests
00:14:14You remember their names
00:14:16Teenage girls with the resonant voices of men
00:14:20Screaming and thrashing for hours
00:14:22Through their jaw bones fell
00:14:23And the devil could sing no more
00:14:25And you were nine
00:14:28Huh
00:14:28That's what moms did with kids
00:14:30Before Lego and Peppa Pig
00:14:33Looking back on it now
00:14:34They were definitely witches
00:14:36The twins
00:14:36That is Marguerite Deray
00:14:38Jeanne
00:14:38Probably caught masturbating
00:14:39In a field with a few sick oxen
00:14:41Two for four
00:14:42It's not bad
00:14:43Considering 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
00:15:05Mouth distorted
00:15:07What struck my heart
00:15:09Was the way that his whole body
00:15:11Leamed into the music
00:15:13Had I the ear I have now
00:15:14I would have found a pedestrian
00:15:15But I was an ape from Auvergne
00:15:19And it sounded like a god machine
00:15:21Played by an angel
00:15:23Ah, merde
00:15:26Take us to Excelsuero
00:15:27Next
00:15:28I won't miss
00:15:29It must be Al Mozart
00:15:30Rising over all
00:15:31That disturbs your peace
00:15:32Madame, kindly
00:15:33Peace off
00:15:34This is Nicky
00:15:35Who you sing about
00:15:37In your song
00:15:38Why do I have to feel
00:15:44Nicolas DeLenfant
00:15:46My first love
00:15:49Tell me to piss off again
00:15:51I am finished
00:15:52Madame
00:15:53I am finished
00:16:02Nicolas DeLenfant
00:16:05L'Estaing
00:16:07De Lyoncourt
00:16:09Uh, no
00:16:11De Valois
00:16:15Timed on your title
00:16:17Wearing pantaloons
00:16:22Trying to fit in
00:16:24You know what flying cloak, eh
00:16:26Good luck with that
00:16:31What are you doing in Paris?
00:16:368-12
00:16:38Impossible
00:16:40Stuck the heads in the square
00:16:42And the children play hide
00:16:43The heads with them
00:16:45Sounds like our village
00:16:51It's my father's teaching
00:16:54He gave it to me before I left
00:16:57And your address on the rue de Mont-
00:17:00Mont-Mauron, si
00:17:03I haven't lived there for six months
00:17:06My father's allowance barely covers the ground
00:17:08Cause to my music instruction
00:17:10Much less rent, food
00:17:12And the bribes
00:17:14To keep me out of the national guard
00:17:25Liberty equality fraternity
00:17:30Pity is treason
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.
00:18:02He 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.
00:18:33Are you gonna teach me to be a man?
00:18:36Just don't know if I want.
00:18:42It goes where you think it goes.
00:18:44All the old tropes and trapes of tortured and forbidden love.
00:18:47Blah, blah, blah.
00:18:48Bipolar brifling.
00:18:49Blah, blah.
00:18:49Fast forward.
00:18:51Stop.
00:18:53Vape.
00:18:54Check 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.
00:19:05Any Quebecers here?
00:19:07Tongue twisters.
00:19:08Vocal exercises.
00:19:09Repeated every day for two years
00:19:11while I washed the floors
00:19:12and emptied chamber pots
00:19:14and a job I got through Nicky
00:19:16who worked in the pit there.
00:19:18Go pull up the song for him.
00:19:22Why 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.
00:19:29Nicky got me the job that cured my affliction.
00:19:31It was first love, not a great love.
00:19:39Buried yourself in the ground
00:19:41for a century over a not great love.
00:19:43Only thing you carry with you to New Orleans

00:19:47of a not great love.
00:19:49I carried the box because I destroyed him, Dan.
00:19:52I carried the box to remind me
00:19:54what I was capable of.

00:27:12what is she
00:27:14Vista versa stufata.
00:27:17Mother.
00:27:17Outside the theater, the ragged man calling wolf-killer.
00:27:21Blackened passages and dog-toothed fiends.
00:27:24You are gibberish.
00:27:27I want to know you in exchange form.
00:27:30Don't look to her.
00:27:31Roger has bought 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 a club.
00:27:38Don't buy me a house.
00:27:39My little brains.
00:27:42He 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.
00:27:55That's 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.
00:28:19You mustn't do it.
00:28:30I've driven him mad.
00:28:33I know I'll 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 act.
00:29:02Well, you can return to the role anytime 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?
00:29:44You're a maker, Marius.
00:29:45My maker is dead.
00:29:46I've told you that already.
00:29:48Just check.
00:29:52I'll give you the theater of the vampires.
00:29:55The greatest spectacle of the boulevard.
00:30:06He was dramatic as a mortal.
00:30:08He'll find his way.
00:30:09No, he won't.
00:30:10I believe you.
00:30:12I love you, Lestana.
00:30:14Christ.
00:30:17There's not room enough in this box for your desperation.
00:30:24Is anyone seeing a letter opener?
00:30:26You 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, but I left it there a week ago.
00:30:33You don't like my music, Metro.
00:30:35Well, it's not me.
00:30:37It's my hands.
00:30:38But 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 have to decide this in the wings?
00:30:55Huh?
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?
00:31:02And the Night After?
00:31:03Don't stop!
00:31:04Look at me!
00:31:05Look at me!
00:31:08I left it here!
00:31:09I left it here!
00:31:10Yes, I've warned.
00:31:11His mind is covered.
00:31:12Two years ago when you 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.
00:31:26Ah!
00:31:27Ah!
00:31:28Ah!
00:31:28Ah!
00:31:29Ah!
00:31:29Ah!
00:31:29Ah!
00:31:29Ah!
00:31:30Ah!
00:31:31Ah!
00:31:32Ah!
00:31:32Ah!
00:31:32Ah!
00:31:33Ah!
00:31:33Ah!
00:31:37Lester?
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, stop!
00:31:52Go, you're just on the way to Saint Denis.
00:31:53Stop!
00:31:54Would you point the way?
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, leaving us, and Armand.
00:32:39I told Nicky that I loved him.
00:32:44From the first seconds I saw him in Paris, that 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, the words were true.
00:33:16I think...
00:33:22I remember the light.
00:33:27Fireplace.
00:33:29Reflecting golden onto his face.
00:33:34And his bare arms.
00:33:43But I would not look at the world.
00:33:46I could not.
00:33:54I, um...
00:33:57I couldn't do it.
00:34:02But 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.
00:34:29Nicky had a bemused look on his face as he burned.
00:34:34His mouth...
00:34:38Formed into a...
00:34:44Circle.
00:34:46And he made only one sound.
00:34:52And he made only one sound.
00:35:07And he made only one sound.
00:35:10As though he knew...
00:35:12As though he knew...
00:35:13That in death...
00:35:16It was a nothingness.
00:35:26I'm angry.
00:35:28I'm angry.
00:35:29Oh, yeah, kid.
00:35:29Can 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.
00:35:52Arduous.
00:35:53It's tour.
00:35:56My ego.
00:35:58And still...
00:36:00It's not what I hunt.
00:36:02Never say I didn't give you anything.
00:36:04Keys.
00:36:04Tomorrow's been...
00:36:05He was staying open so that I could sound.
00:36:06Let Larry run it.
00:36:10How is check me?
00:36:11Like Carlo Vivari.
00:36:13Fun for three minutes.
00:36:15Son, 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 matthia the night after.
00:36:21Provoked.
00:36:22Bored.
00:36:23Ah, you'll run fewer reds that way.
00:36:26There's a shameful tiki bar in Parkdale.
00:36:30Rain check, Sophia.
00:36:42Well, that took forever.
00:36:45Right?
00:36:47All right, run it back.
00:36:49About, I don't know, four minutes.
00:36:52Been trying to crack those cheeks for two months.
00:36:56Vampires, they're...
00:36:57We're 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?
00:37:21All right, 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?
00:37:42He just sat there like a fucking blow-up doll and no one said anything?
00:37:48Nothing?
00:37:50You gotta be fucking kidding me.
00:37:51What is this?
00:37:52No, yeah, it was freaking weirdsville to you to 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.
00:38:06A 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.
00:38:36Mm-hmm.
00:38:43Come here.
00:38:45I got you, man.
00:38:49You gonna make me a mom in the night?
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.
00:39:08You're trying to get back to my kids.
00:39:12Come on.
00:39:13I got you in the back.
00:39:18That don't happen.
00:39:20We're home.
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 him an Uber.
00:39:59What the fuck did you do to my husband?
00:40:08Amara told the truth?
00:40:10You want to tell me what that is?
00:40:11Oh, shit.
00:40:13This is...
00:40:14Okay.
00:40:16This is about the fucking little stat shit.
00:40:19Okay.
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 Killers.
00:40:55You and I have a friend in common.
00:40:59More wine.
00:41:04Cold tea, they call it here.
00:41:09Apples with a hint of... cowardice.
00:41:16Still in rags?
00:41:17Is this better?
00:41:23Same face, same smell.
00:41:25No hope for you, Father Max.
00:41:28Not exactly forthcoming with the vampire journalists.
00:41:33Left 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.
00:41:52And for a second, I thought I was gonna go right there.
00:41:55But no.
00:41:56Louis de Pond.
00:41:57He plunked me onto his motorbike.
00:42:00And switched into his friendly self.
00:42:03The Lord's right hand is gifted.
00:42:04The Lord's right hand is gifted.
00:42:05The Lord's right hand is gifted.
00:42:05The Lord's right hand is gifted.
00:42:18The Lord's right hand is gifted.
00:42:20And he thinks back inside!
00:42:24You got your son.
00:42:28The woman got to his house.
00:42:30I guess my biggest question is, why are you checking me down now?
00:42:34I mean, we all read your little page turner.
00:42:36And it's all gone dumb in my mind too.
00:42:40Crossed out.
00:42:42New sentence.
00:42:43You tipped over the Gullywubble shelf
00:42:46and took the cloth off the long table.
00:42:48We eat your soul at the long table.
00:42:53Sixty-eight courses so far.
00:42:56We keep waiting for the bill, but the plates keep coming.
00:43:00And 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, what it's like to have a person crack your spine, open
00:43:25you up and shove a pencil inside you.
00:43:28Very hard company at the long table.
00:43:32A hand.
00:43:34A finger.
00:43:36No.
00:43:37A drummer.
00:43:39No.
00:43:39A pimp.
00:43:42You.
00:43:43Mommy.
00:43:45Claudia.
00:43:48And I fought him, even with my broken arm, and then my re-broken arm.
00:43:55But even still, all the bad things happened that bad men do.
00:44:00He had my legs pulled apart, and my dress pulled up around my waist.
00:44:08And that awful, stuffed full, too wet feeling down there.
00:44:17Like I was packed with dirt.
00:44:21And I hope one day he feels this.
00:44:27Small and cornered.
00:44:30And crushed like it can.
00:44:33But then there were the parts where he brought home kills.
00:44:39And I sat with him.
00:44:42And ate.
00:44:44I just said what he wanted to hear.
00:44:52Ask for it, child.
00:44:55And it ain't easy to like myself because of it.
00:44:59Oh, the light's gone out of your blue eyes.
00:45:02I even once felt a twinge of something nice.
00:45:06As if all the summer days are gone.
00:45:10No.
00:45:10And not the worst thing ever.
00:45:13No!
00:45:15No!
00:45:20He let me go because I seemed small.
00:45:24And it looked like he'd won.
00:45:27And he did win.
00:45:29Because I want nothing.
00:45:33To be nothing.
00:45:36And say nothing.
00:45:39And do nothing.
00:45:42You 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.
00:46:08Though.
00:46:12Though.
00:46:18Though.
00:46:25I imagine you're naked in your gold, gilded bathtub.
00:46:30Wondering why it didn't end on the highway.
00:46:33How I got on stage the following night to another feverishly modest audience.
00:46:39I couldn't pretend anymore that we were a ticketmaster must-have.
00:46:43Or that I wasn't having a nervous breakdown.
00:46:45Or that psychosis wasn't the exhilarating, horrifying by-product of romping and stomping around the hippocampus.
00:46:52But here's the thing.
00:46:55I loved the music.
00:46:56I loved it.
00:46:58It was compelling me forward, pulling me through the perennial walls of my psyche.
00:47:04And 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, polished to the horizon.
00:47:16Music in its purest expression would make me worse, and then make me better.
00:47:24Bring on the music.
00:47:25You can't fuck away the loneliness.
00:47:33It'll wait till you're done, till you come.
00:47:40Like a vampire.
00:47:42You can't drink away the loneliness.
00:47:50It'll wait till the next day.
00:47:54Like a headache.
00:47:57Sucking you dry.
00:48:00You can't escape this loneliness.
00:48:06It'll say, what a mess.
00:48:10How will anybody ever love you?
00:48:21Don't hide it all.
00:48:28Don't bury those feelings.
00:48:32Don't hide it all.
00:48:35Don't worship that blade.
00:48:39Dawn on your own.
00:48:43Don't burn it all.
00:48:46Earth.
00:48:57Safe.
00:49:00Safe.
00:49:00Nearly home.
00:49:02you get what you wanted out there.
00:49:06Yeah.
00:49:08Yeah.
00:49:32This love will fade, and you stay, and you stay, and you stay, and you stay.
00:49:40With your zippers, you can't escape this loneliness.
00:49:51It'll break, it'll press, how could anybody ever learn?
00:49:58Oh.
00:50:01Oh.
00:50:05Don't hide it away.
00:50:12Don't bury those feelings.
00:50:18Don't wash it that gray dirt on your own.
00:50:26Don't burn alone
00:50:32Hi, you okay?
00:50:33I'm gonna get you anything else.
00:50:34I'm good, thank you.
00:50:36Regina.
00:50:45I'm good, thank you.
00:51:33I'm good, thank you.
00:51:37Here in Monroe, Ohio, of all places.
00:51:41No offense.
00:51:45And God, I just want to drink
00:51:48and feel sorry for myself.
00:51:53Yeah, thank you for giving me another way through.
00:51:58Thank you for sharing.
00:52:04So, who else wants to share tonight, hmm?
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.
00:52:27I am Arun.
00:52:28Hello, Arun.
00:52:30And...
00:52:33I am an addict.
00:52:40Listen to tracks from the Vampire List ad wherever you stream music.
00:52:47I am the toxic bitch Godless dog.
00:53:00Hi, what can I get you?
00:53:02Lestat is going to get us all killed.
00:53:04I'm going to find more shows.
00:53:06I'm getting bored.
00:53:08Shall we do it?
00:53:09Shall we scorch the mortal world?
00:53:16The stuttering wolf killer.
00:53:19The vampire Lestat.
00:53:20Evening then.
00:53:21Happy 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 going to become really clear
00:53:33in 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.
00:53:42You perform a song every night by your abuser, Magnus.
00:53:46You 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, make a fool out of
00:54:11my maker.
00:54:17He wants to think about it as like, he was my fan and he made me, but of course the
00:54:21truth within that episode asserts itself.
00:54:29We cast Damien Atkins as Magnus.
00:54:32He's a terrifying, vulnerable creature, and 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, so that had a real contrast to
00:54:52his 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.
00:55:09And 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 a full-on kidnapping,
00:55:24assault.
00:55:25He's got to reconcile that on a daily basis.
00:55:33And what happened at 29?
00:55:37Nicolas de l'Enfant.
00:55:38My first love.
00:55:41Don't bring him into eternity.
00:55:49Disaster, my son.
00:55:51Gabriella cannot bear Nikki.
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 Nikki.
00:56:00Does Nicola 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, but now it's through
00:56:23Lestat'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 Gabriella.
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.
00:56:43In every situation, Louis and Lestat, Armand, Gabriella and Lestat, Armand, and Armand's jealousy really shows.
00:56:54He knew that Nikki couldn't withstand what it takes to live this life.
00:57:00He was already unstable before he became a vampire, and 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, but I watched as Armand pushed him into the fire and made sure he stayed there.
00:57:23Malloy thinks he strikes gold.
00:57:26As it turns out, that's an illusion.
00:57:29What 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 Malloy didn't get it on camera.
00:57:41But he is talking truth to Malloy 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.
00:57:58We 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 Louis with this getting revenge on the guy who hurt Claudia.
00:58:19And Louis 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 address.
00:58:31The wrong address.
00:58:32That 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.
00:59:03And 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?
00:59:09And they were like, it's warm.
00:59:12I was like, okay, so it's like a bath.
00:59:13It's still horrible.
00:59:16No!
00:59:18He 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 Louis reading Claudia's diary entry because I sort of felt like
00:59:39that's not really his place.
00:59:41But I think Louis thinks that he's speaking on her behalf.
00:59:44And it looked like he'd won.
00:59:46And he did win.
00:59:47Because 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.
01:00:28Kai, you okay?
01:00:29How can I get you anything else?
01:00:30I'm good.
01:00:31Thank you, Regina.
01:00:58Thank you, Regina.
