00:00Watch The Vampire Lestat After Dark on AMC Plus or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:30Is it true you were a stutterer as a child?
00:32The name's Raglan James.
00:34Mr. Malloy would like to stay alive, Rashid.
00:37Got me wondering what it'd be like. Ride with others, huntin' a pack.
00:41The Tooth Team LeFang gang.
00:45I assume a privileged individual such as yourself enjoys a little dirt in their sandwich.
00:50So I serve it to you now.
00:52You're for real?
00:53How it felt then. Fledgling.
00:56Lover.
00:57Mother.
01:01You are listening to The Failures.
01:03Album 8, Side A.
01:07If you're still listening after the...
01:10Eat Epiphany of the last hour, welcome back.
01:14I've been fondling my thoughts since the last album, and I believe there might be value added in illuminating the
01:21why and how I became me in their light of said...
01:25Eat Epiphany.
01:26You've weathered the Freudian storms.
01:28And yes, that boat is a penis.
01:30And yes, that ocean is my mother's vagina.
01:33Kiss, grope, aftercare, onward.
01:39Picture Auvergne, France, 1772.
01:43Picture the dingy seat of the Liencourt family at the fag end of a thousand years of aristocratic decline.
01:50Picture my five dead siblings.
01:54Aristide, Marie, Jules, unbaptized.
01:57And Faustin, garden gnomes guarding the undulating domestic bliss of our great heart.
02:03The boy possesses an ability to envision the unseen, the holy.
02:07He would be well-suited to the monastic house at Haute-Loire.
02:10And what will you get for this...favor?
02:13Hmm?
02:14Circular and Keswick?
02:15Nothing, Monseigneur. I see goodness in your son.
02:19Are you a good boy, Lestat?
02:21Ah!
02:22Let's go!
02:24Why don't you even imagine your brother, Lestat?
02:28I... I...
02:32Don't...
02:34Don't...
02:38No...
02:39No, he doesn't, no?
02:40My son, The Eckerburn, the next pope!
02:43We can mend his afflictions!
02:45Pope?
02:45S.B. Fitch is like an station.
02:48I have titles.
02:49One on the blood-soaked fields of France.
03:00In time, he would learn to find consolation in philosophy.
03:05What is the course of studies at Otloir?
03:07Aristotle. Erasmus.
03:09I asked the question.
03:15Aristotle. Erasmus. Aquinas.
03:20Cicero. Alberti. Bruno.
03:30The innkeeper tells me he brought these actors back to the inn.
03:35Buys them a sum of wine beyond obligation.
03:39Half the village there waiting for me to pay.
03:43Tenants asking me this.
03:45The escape was not an option for Gabriela Veche.
03:49The Marquis had promised her preservation and delivered her ruin.
03:53On stage with alls and all masters.
03:57He wants a taste of the theatre.
03:59You tell him to bed one of them.
04:01You don't open the wagon and join up.
04:04I was impressed in just service.
04:09She sacrificed her youth, squandered her intellect, and paid a midwife to nick her in the womb so we couldn't
04:16humiliate her anymore.
04:17Who does act in the square like a beggar?
04:20Like an actor.
04:21After a gong farmer, then an actor.
04:23After an actor, then a cabbage.
04:25Look up from your book when you speak to our father, huh?
04:28Cabbage. Cabbage. Cabbage.
04:31He was our little joke, the cabbages.
04:34The cabbage heads with cabbage brains and cabbage wives all speaking cabbage.
04:39At least there would have been some honor in it.
04:42The Lioncourt name covered in his shit again.
04:45Love nothing, do nothing, change nothing.
04:47Seat and supper.
04:48Am I suffering?
04:49Mr. Gregoire?
04:51A question for the philosophers.
04:54Can a cabbage suffer?
05:03One hour on stage.
05:05An hour of not displace.
05:09It's dampness and dimness.
05:11Senor Pokemark the wife and Gregoire jamming his cock into servant girls like he's saucing pork.
05:19Cabbage.
05:20And the start speaks.
05:22Cabbage.
05:23A verse with players in a wagon.
05:26Cabbage.
05:27Say cabbage.
05:30One more goddamn time.
05:36Cabbage.
05:37Break his legs!
05:41You will hunt the land as we do!
05:43You will marry your worth!
05:45And have children who will shame you!
05:47The way you have shamed me!
06:01She had a cold beauty.
06:03Like snow behind a thick distorting wall of glass.
06:07And I grew hard by example.
06:11But now the wolves, they are taking out sheep.
06:14So bold now they have lost their fear.
06:16Another one stole it today.
06:18A puddle of carts where sheep used to be.
06:21They will snatch a babe soon.
06:22There have been wolves in the hills since I was a boy.
06:27Magnificent!
06:27The wolves are causing trouble, brother!
06:30It's a famine now, senor.
06:32From here to Versailles.
06:33What do they want us to do about it, huh?
06:35Nothing.
06:36Sit there on your titles.
06:39While you fumble to find your pricks from under the awning of your stomachs.
06:47Piss!
06:51Keep coughing, huh?
06:52Seeding the nothings you had.
06:54Bearing more nothings will inherit nothing!
07:00Not funny, brother!
07:02Put the gun down, Lestat!
07:04She's with child!
07:05Hey!
07:06Put the gun down, Lestat!
07:08The wolves will move on!
07:12We ask your protection as our senor.
07:16We would like you to share some of your bounty on your table.
07:20Hey!
07:21Go on!
07:23There's nothing more we can do here!
07:25But be men!
07:34She meant to kill me with the challenge.
07:37Better a quick end than watch me surrender another decade.
07:41Watch me join the cabbages.
07:56And what was this life?
08:02The good in me lost at the monastery.
08:04Where are you?
08:06My sense of wonder abandoned in a traveling player's wagon.
08:10Go!
08:11Flush them up!
08:24I wanted the wolves to come.
08:32Until I didn't.
08:53He refuses food.
08:55He refuses care.
08:59You killed five wolves.
09:03By yourself.
09:06Eight.
09:09Not five.
09:13To reboot my horse.
09:20My dog.
09:27Eight.
09:33Do they wolves look worse?
09:40There's a mob came yesterday again tonight they wish to worship you
09:47Your father and your brother's bent with shame
09:53Come down
09:55You'll enjoy it
09:57From room to room
10:00Slaughter ain't the three of them
10:05That's what I dreamt when I killed the wolves, mother
10:13You know what I dream?
10:20I'm drinking wine
10:23So drunk
10:25I stream
10:26Of my clothes and baked in the mountains
10:29Stream
10:31Make it
10:36I go into the village
10:40Into the inn
10:43And I take
10:46Into bed
10:49Any man
10:51That come
10:55Crude
10:57Crude
10:57Men
10:58Big men
10:59Old men
11:01Boys
11:03Taking them
11:05One after another
11:08And feeling some magnificent release in it
11:13No thought
11:15No thought
11:16Of your father
11:19Or your brothers
11:23In that moment
11:27I belong
11:31To no one
11:34Except for me
11:49I'm dying
11:52I won't survive the winter
11:56Mother
12:04I'm dying
12:07Finish it
12:08Finish it
12:08He has a mob to bless
12:14Mother
12:18Mother
12:22Mother
12:46I saw them too
12:47Oh
12:48And the drug mule contributes a complete sentence
12:51Social media coordinator
12:52Check your contract
12:54It says cocaine whore bucket
12:56I know
12:56But I saw lawyer
12:58I saw a guy
12:59Kill another guy
13:00Vampire
13:01Right in front of me
13:02Vampire
13:02What the killjoy second guitarist may or may not have witnessed
13:05Was one vampire acting in self defense
13:08But he signed a unilateral
13:10Which is a one way street that I control
13:13Suitcase bomb
13:15Where are we?
13:17Buckeye State
13:18Do you have the fire gift?
13:21Oh my god
13:24What the fuck
13:26How did that get you?
13:28Sophia
13:28Sophia
13:30Forgotten my name already
13:32Oh
13:33Hello
13:34Sophia
13:37I'm sorry
13:37Are we just like not gonna talk about last night
13:40Are we not gonna talk about like the year and a half of weird bullshit
13:43That you've been putting us through for the past like year and a half
13:46And you didn't feel like that was at all important to tell us
13:48You've been up all day and we've got like a shit ton list of questions man
13:52But what else can you do?
13:53Yeah, like where do you put the body?
13:55Don't answer that
13:56When was the last time you talked to our mom?
13:58I could have hung it up there too I guess
14:01But we sounded really good in Detroit
14:03And there were another thousand beautifully unwelders serve in Ohio
14:06And she had come a great distance to comfort me
14:10And you are being very patient regarding the vampire incest factor
14:16And I do appreciate it
14:18Do you guys play baseball?
14:19Like the Twilight?
14:20One at a time
14:21One at a time
14:23One at a time
14:23One at a time
14:24Please
14:25One at a time
14:38And I can't hear it
14:42I am
14:43I am
14:44I am
14:44I am
14:45I am
14:47I'm the best of the future, the last of the sutures, the cool and dumb.
14:51Where the rock and roll is, where the good time.
14:55Where the heart of me, love and the face of the mother, where the stupid rhyme.
15:01Bang, bang.
15:03Bang, bang.
15:04Bang, bang.
15:06I fall down.
15:10Burn the ground.
15:14I fall down.
15:18Burn the ground.
15:23Bang, bang.
15:24Bang, bang.
15:29Bang, bang.
15:29Bang, bang, bang.
15:30Bang, bang.
15:31Fabulous.
15:32Moving on.
15:35Do you kill people?
15:39I sleep, I think, I sing, I contribute to local economies.
15:43Do you kill people?
15:44I drain people.
15:45What is the difference?
15:46I don't have to kill when I drain, I do it on stage every night.
15:49The small cub.
15:50How many people do you kill at night?
15:52How many people?
15:53This is what I have Fareed for.
15:55Oh yeah, that's also why you have a body double.
15:58You tell them.
15:59He gets most of his blood from the farm.
16:02Most?
16:02The farm, it's like a blood bank.
16:05People donate and they're handsomely compensated.
16:07It's all highly ethical.
16:08They tap college burnouts and attic-run bingo games.
16:12Cash only, no questions.
16:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, so you're a vampire too?
16:16Three of us, nine of you.
16:19Out and proud.
16:20Three.
16:21Three.
16:22Three.
16:22Three.
16:22Hi, name's Daniel.
16:24I'm a Taurus on the cusp of Aries.
16:26I prefer A, B, negative.
16:28Who's your maker?
16:29Have you tried R.H?
16:31No.
16:31Only 45 people on the planet possess it.
16:35Only nine active donors.
16:37Tell me all about it, babe.
16:40Hey, hey, look, hey, this isn't a goddamn joke.
16:42Mand-only meeting!
16:48I understand the panic.
16:50You saw something that you didn't want to acknowledge.
16:54But willful ignorance is sleep in a giant's hand.
16:57Willful ignorance.
16:58Oh, come on.
16:58Have you ever seen me in the light of day?
17:00Armand is a day walker.
17:01Did you help me hose off my Mustang at a self-service car wash in Spokane?
17:06You said there was a D-R.
17:06As D-E-A-R as any KFC night manager has a right to be.
17:10Okay, so you do kill people.
17:12Vampires have been among you your entire lives.
17:15We've been a part of the ecological landscape.
17:17Yeah, how do we know you're not going to kill us?
17:18For thousands of years, you've been in my band for over a year and a half.
17:20It's not your band.
17:21It's our fucking band.
17:22Jesus Christ, you're such an asshole.
17:23In fact, you've all been protected numerous times without being made aware of it.
17:27What?
17:28What we're doing, the confessional nature of the songs,
17:31performing for mortals, the insights into vampiric desires, it's all...
17:35It's all sacrilegious to vampires.
17:37What?
17:38It's not a worry.
17:39I have the blood of Akasha in me.
17:40Sorry, what the fuck is Akasha?
17:42What is important and what we should be celebrating is what we did on stage last night.
17:48We were raw and nasty, transcendent.
17:51Excuse me?
17:52And I lost you.
17:54You know.
17:55It's Louis, not Louis.
17:57And you, you were referring to, could be one of two dozen paramours at Pompeii.
18:02Who's that villain sneaking up from behind with the knife in his hand and a mouthful?
18:05We were beyond epic last night.
18:07And that is what we are all scared about.
18:09I want to stay in bed.
18:10Can we do it again?
18:11Eating black licorice is not about sucking Louis' dick.
18:13Black licorice is about the first kill I made after Louis and I reconciled.
18:18I'd say...
18:19I lived 54,554 days before I met Louis de Pointe du Lac.
18:25You kill people.
18:26I'm people.
18:27We're people.
18:28And so was I.
18:32No vampire was born a vampire.
18:37F this.
18:38F you.
18:39We quit.
18:42Come on.
18:46Larry.
18:48They don't want to speak.
18:50But, um, being a vampire, I can tell you what they're thinking.
18:54Would you like to know what they're thinking?
18:57Fifteen hundred when we started.
19:00Twenty thousand followers now.
19:02He killed the sound technician in Denver that muddied my solos on purpose.
19:06And he is glad that I killed him, except I didn't kill him, I merely fired him, Larry.
19:12Fate's entourage, the brooms, the tits, the dime store darlings, Bukkake Ice Helmet,
19:18and four others that are not as good but just as successful.
19:22If I don't hit it now, I'm going to marry the bum and have a baby.
19:29Finn Lizzie sucks.
19:31We'd sound better with one guitar.
19:33I don't think that.
19:34Yeah, she does.
19:36It's Alamander.
19:37Another one of Alex's vegan, straight-edge, bullshit mood swings.
19:43He'll find a meeting and be back tomorrow.
19:46Dude.
19:48And I make it a rule never to sleep with my bandmates.
19:56TC was talking about Larry, not you.
20:00You are the best pure musician we have, other than me.
20:05So take your time, Alex.
20:08Process it, as they say.
20:10But think thrice before running to the police or sharing in one of your anonymous groups.
20:15Not if you value your life or your brothers.
20:23You are listening to The Failures, album 12, side B.
20:56There's a dearth of privacy on a vampire rock tour.
20:58She, unless pharmaceutically challenged me, found an evening to catch up and kill time.
21:03And there was simply no one in the garden more effortless in killing time than her.
21:08Why were you in Chicago?
21:10I wasn't.
21:12I was glamping in Vucevic.
21:15You lied.
21:16My maker called for his mama, and I came, and came, and came.
21:23Yeah, about that.
21:25I know.
21:26We really shouldn't.
21:28We need to make a pact if you're going to stay.
21:31Up to you.
21:32I want you to stay.
21:34A pact, then.
21:37Companionship without a calm.
21:40We needn't you lie, weave a basket, and fill it with bullshit.
21:47I missed you.
21:51We met in Italy, of course.
21:54Hmm.
21:55The Ambrosian Carnival, of course.
21:57Of course.
21:58And we wore the same costume, of course.
22:00And raced across the Piazza del Duomo to see who would slap each other first.
22:08And then you unmasked me, and, well, this face.
22:13Yes.
22:15I recognized myself, Hilly.
22:21Yeah.
22:22See, it comes back around again.
22:24Hmm.
22:27How long are you going to stay?
22:32I saw you two times last century.
22:35It's not an unreasonable question.
22:37Long enough?
22:40Long enough for what?
22:43Long enough to see you sing?
22:46For you to show me munchie?
22:51Wilmingdon.
22:52Food courts.
22:54We excuse me.
22:55I want to play cornhole.
22:59We excuse me.
22:59Rest on the rust belt.
23:00All the speed on the floor.
23:02All the moist cavities.
23:04We excuse me.
23:14Can I take you to dinner, Sofia?
23:18I would love that.
23:20We thank you.
23:23In a glass corner of a glass building, a group of building glass salesmen were closing a sale of a
23:29substantial amount of glass sold to a company in yet to be tariffed Germany.
23:34There was to be ritualized Saturnalia in both countries that night, and we invited ourselves to the one closest to.
23:42A study commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control on rates of depression in midsize American cities ranked Toledo number
23:50two on their list.
23:51Heads are down in Toledo, which makes it a fine city to travel via the cloud gift, which was Gabriele's
23:57preferred mode of murder transport.
24:00Why take so many cars?
24:03Triumph is a dark road, Sofia.
24:06And each man must find his own exit.
24:08The worst reveal themselves through time in Negroni.
24:11Nine at the indoor golfing range.
24:14Seven eating seafood towers at the chop house.
24:18Five crept out at the casino.
24:20And then there were three.
24:22All tippling by the time we plummeted back down the backside of Chubbs, a bar contetta blocks off the Mome
24:30River.
24:31Our hunger propelled us inside, and we watched as the remaining items on the menu marinated themselves in the pole
24:38-ravaged sweat of sex-positive, sex-cynical, sex-stipulated dancing.
24:45They had closed their deal, and we would close ours.
24:49We watched them, watched them.
24:51And only some time later would I understand we were being watched as well.
24:56By those who were always there.
25:00A curious tangle of hunters and hunted.
25:03That warm spring night.
25:07And then it happened again.
25:12Are you a good boy, Lestat?
25:15An unamusing muse.
25:18Was this the first soldier over the wall the Oracle Jenks forewarned me about?
25:23Or the last fumes of Detroit?
25:25If you're ever homesick, there's a classy Italian place on Adam Street.
25:31Do they have spaghetti?
25:32Yeah.
25:32Do you work here?
25:35Oh, go on.
25:36About the...
25:36Tell me more.
25:40Lover.
25:40Where are you?
25:42I'm with Sophia.
25:42I don't wanna know.
25:43You have to do a sit down with Thomas Pitt and lawyer tomorrow.
25:46That's your job, lover.
25:47I'm doing my job, motherfucker.
25:49No more.
25:50We have a pact now.
25:52What?
25:53Who's Thomas Pitt?
25:55The owner of the hotel you defiled in Detroit.
25:57His lawyer says he's a fan and would appreciate an exclusive fan experience.
26:02Do I have to fuck him?
26:03Yes.
26:04Call an Uber.
26:05Go to coffin.
26:06Fine.
26:10Thank you, Carol.
26:10Uh, do you work here?
26:12No.
26:14Did I ever ask that?
26:18You really have to understand that Vampire Gabriella, when she wasn't free soloing a mountain
26:24or stirring a singing bowl in some dreary village, she was good company.
26:32Even as you're being outmonstered, outbantered, it feels good.
26:37Like watching blood down a staircase feels good.
26:41Or finding a party invitation in your victim's pocket.
26:45Why?
26:46I mean, it doesn't happen anymore to empty invites, but...
26:48Being with Gabriella is like...
26:54Like...
26:55Like...
26:56Like...
26:59Ah, predatory spirit.
27:02A good candidate for the great conversion.
27:09Uh...
27:10Randy, last man standing, loves glass.
27:15Also knows somewhere inside that he does not love glass.
27:25I'm starving.
27:28Shall we take them both now?
27:31One each?
27:33I want to share mine with you.
27:36So we wait.
27:38We wait.
27:42Do you have a lot of sex?
27:48I'm a rock star now.
27:51Of course.
27:52Do you like it?
27:55Like you do the blood.
27:57Like you do the blood.
27:59It's never like the blood.
28:07We couldn't help ourselves.
28:12We rode the edges of our pact.
28:37You are listening to The Failures.
28:40Album 15, side B.
28:43Estimates on the structural damage are still good.
28:45So the figure we've put forth was based on comps the engaged architectural firm provided.
28:51Comps?
28:51For a hotel hallway massacre?
28:53Comparable damages to comparable spaces.
28:55I'd like to add a line for cascading glass.
28:57The parking structure below had a fleet of vehicles lacerated.
29:00These clean-up numbers are made up.
29:01The clean-up numbers in this case are mostly going towards silencing witnesses.
29:05This is not my first clown rodeo, Grace Jones and Gucci.
29:07And Salt received his compliment.
29:08For anyone who won't take a couple thousand in an envelope, you guys do the mind-wipey thing so you
29:12can take that line item and hold it over your vampire bidet.
29:15We could've done the shit over the phone.
29:16According to Mr. Pitt here, your client's the one who called this meeting.
29:19He did no such thing.
29:20You stole my personal physician.
29:23You hired my biographer.
29:24You trashed my hotel.
29:26The Detroit Coven trashed your hotel.
29:28I've heard the songs.
29:29The songs are not about you.
29:31It feels like a cry for help.
29:34So I flew in.
29:36Because I care.
29:37Oh, it just says you cared in your book.
29:39We've been through all this.
29:40The fact that you insulted me page after page after page.
29:44Take it up with Malloy, who wrote it, or the Tala Mosca, who published it.
29:47Why are you employing Sam Barclay after Paris?
29:51He's paying down his debts.
29:53Bottom line, Malloy.
29:54All sins negotiated.
29:55Sam didn't get on a boat.
29:56We're here to litigate.
29:57Sam didn't memorize the lines.
29:59He did not direct a play and then come home canoodling with one of its victims.
30:02Did he?
30:02Who did that, I wonder?
30:04Repeat the name.
30:05That would be Armand?
30:06Armand!
30:09San Diego, I could understand.
30:10At least he had a presence, but...
30:12I'm happy to discuss Armand.
30:14If you think that would help you...
30:15Is it true that you had a second home in Sausalito with you?
30:18We did?
30:19Did you take turns driving across the Golden Gate Bridge?
30:22Yeah.
30:22You held the wheel harder?
30:23Writing numbers on each other's backs and pretending to guess them wrong.
30:27I bet.
30:28I bet!
30:29I bet!
30:30Come on.
30:30Very specific details are blocked out of thin air!
30:33What are they vote?
30:35Are we taking minutes of this?
30:36I think we can wrap this up dispassionately.
30:38Yes, let's try and circle back to the particulars.
30:42Are you two fucking?
30:44Yes.
30:47Companion enough for yourself or you're over?
30:49He's not my companion.
30:51He's a great lay and emotionally unavailable.
30:55You doing her?
30:56Yes.
30:58Petite, surprising, and can perform what most metropolitan training systems could only dream of.
31:04Okay.
31:06Are you enjoying this exclusive fan experience?
31:09I am.
31:10Christine, could you please provide two tickets to Mr. Pitt here and his Esquire for tomorrow night's show?
31:16One will do.
31:17Lemuel doesn't enjoy your music.
31:19I do like your merchandise though.
31:21Healthy margins considering the size of your tour.
31:23That's why I own 40% of it.
31:26Of my merch?
31:2745%.
31:2845?
31:29My bad.
31:30I'll look into it.
31:31I was afraid, I was afraid, I was afraid.
31:38I'm losing you.
31:43Very nice.
31:52Oh, I'm tired of crying.
31:56Sounding a little thin without Alex.
31:59Larry likes it.
32:00Everyone else is freaked.
32:03The Stott and his hostage squad.
32:06Get me a shot of his latest friend-o there.
32:10Copy that.
32:11Where?
32:11The Cougar Milanese in the crowd.
32:15Got her.
32:16No, no, no, not her.
32:17The one standing in judgment of the Buckeye Goth.
32:21The one from the bus?
32:22Yeah.
32:24Okay, now go up from her to the balcony and get me a frame of pretty green eyes again.
32:29Okay.
32:30Got him.
32:31Who is this guy?
32:32He is the story.
32:35Who is this guy?
32:38Who is this guy?
32:40Who is this guy?
32:41Mr. Dulac.
32:42What brings you to Toledo?
32:45You're looking younger, Daniel.
32:48Buona sights in Manjaro.
32:51I'm still pissed.
32:54Wanna brawl it out in the alley after the show?
32:56No.
32:59Alright.
33:13Nice to meet you.
33:14What the fuck are you doing here?
33:16Oh.
33:41Oh, I, I tried to write you The prettiest song in the world But I got distracted
33:57All I did is a whole.
34:00All i did is a whole.
34:10All i did is a whole.
34:13Oh why?
34:15Oh why?
34:16Why?
34:16Why do I have to be?
34:22The prey?
34:24It's too much, it's too real.
35:04Daniel, Mr. Dulac, anyone I feel is important towards understanding how I woke the Queen and unleashed her wrath upon
35:11the world.
35:12I am everywhere, and rest assured, it comes with less whining than their attempt.
35:18Did it happen in a bar with a view? I say it did.
35:22How are you taking to the gift? You adore him?
35:25I'm alright. Vampire loneliness, I get it now.
35:31I'm picking up bowling, and I have this weird thing that happens where suddenly everyone around me disappears,
35:40like the raptures come, and I, you know, I feel him.
35:51Armand?
35:53Yeah. That happened with you and Lestat?
35:57No.
35:59Oh.
36:02Sounds weird.
36:03Look, I'm sorry, okay? I should have asked you before I published. I'm sorry.
36:10I would have said no.
36:14I can't fly. I can't start fires. All I got is the low-hanging balls gift. I wanted something out
36:20of it.
36:22I'm glad the book worked out for you.
36:24Didn't do too much damage to you, or whoever you are. Thomas Pitt. Hotels, bars, mall, retail...
36:32I saw money on the table.
36:35You read it? You liked it?
36:39I didn't like me in it. Passive. Selfish. A liar.
36:47And not the lying to myself kind of fucking liar. The writing's good. Hard read.
36:56He didn't like the part about Claudia and him on the train.
37:01Yeah, we were finding our way back again when the book dropped. It hurt him.
37:09I called one of my daughters the first month dead. Called her again during the book tour. Hung up, hung
37:18up. Probably the right move.
37:23I saw Claudia. In New York. Coming up the subway.
37:29Claudia?
37:31Someone who looked like her. But in her 20s. She'd have made it to her 20s.
37:38Saw her come up. I watched her turn the corner. Happened to be going in the same direction. Kinda, sorta.
37:47I saw her walk into a diner. And I couldn't help myself. I go inside. I grab a booze. It's
37:59not her. She's not there. Chase the ghost, I guess.
38:06If I order a donut and coffee, you know, just to pass. Then she comes out the back. In her
38:15uniform. It's not her. This one's got a different walk. Accent.
38:28I'm not in a section. I walked out.
38:35Don't eat me for this, Louie. My producers wanna meet you.
38:45Rashid? Rashid, Daniel, Malloy, Raglan, James, Louis, DuPont, Dulac.
38:51We all worked together in Dubai. Virgil Arab. Now, Haven Med Senior Care Headquarters.
39:00Said I'd introduce you. They got me on retainer.
39:05Not cool, Daniel. We all argued about this coming.
39:29What does he know about me? What did you tell him?
39:33That you died in 1794 of consumption. Mercy saved you from the peasant's revenge on our family.
39:41I only ever saw the aftermath. Your slit throat slow to heal. Your rotting roof and pathrobes stuck to skin.
39:53An aloof poetry behind the eyes. Uncanny beauty.
40:03Unelusiveness. Come, go. Yes, no. I see why you gave him a daughter. I see why you took her back.
40:16And we were having such a good night, Sofia.
40:19And now we're known. Forget her, Sofia.
40:29And now we're known. Forget her, Sofia.
40:34Your father's tongue. It's my tongue. In Italy never made a Baudelaire.
41:05Oh, come on.
41:34We should head home to the tower.
41:39The night is young.
41:40We travel so fast, we could be there in an hour.
41:44Yeah.
41:45Why am I there?
42:06Why am I there in an hour?
42:09Why am I there in an hour?
42:21Why am I there in an hour?
42:26Why am I there in an hour?
42:32Why am I there in an hour?
42:44Why am I there in an hour?
42:46Why am I there in an hour?
42:53Why am I there in an hour?
43:04Why am I there in an hour?
43:13Why am I there in an hour?
43:27There were eight people on the ark.
43:29Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their three wives.
43:34Eight people, and now, somehow, eight billion.
43:40At some point in your privileged family tree is the thing we are discussing now.
43:46And familiar relations were not a stand-alone crime in the 18th century.
43:53And she was dying when she came to see me.
43:57Fuck it.
43:58It's different for vampires.
44:00That's it.
44:01Distribution of fentanyl for half of Michigan.
44:04Operation of an unsanctioned and unsanitary farm from their home.
44:08And in a surprising labor of ambition, managed to take down the miso power grid the other night.
44:15Not the pneumatic tube the upper floor wants to receive.
44:18So real Rashid is really Rashid?
44:20That's his actual name?
44:21Ah.
44:22Um.
44:23I emphasize the first syllable.
44:26Rashid.
44:27Rashid.
44:27Do you have a preference?
44:29No.
44:31I have a plane waiting for me.
44:33This coven in Detroit.
44:34They were the ones responsible for the damage to your property.
44:38I'm insured.
44:38And, uh, I knew that already.
44:40They tried to decapitate your love.
44:42What's to ask, Mr. James?
44:47We would like you to take care of our problem in Detroit, Mr. Dulac.
44:54No.
44:54One, we're understaffed and overworked.
44:57The exponential growth in your numbers not helping matters.
45:01Two, the shop's protocols of engagement limit our roles in these kinds of operations.
45:06We clean up.
45:08We don't make the mess.
45:10And three, you're extremely skilled at dispatchment, Mr. Dulac.
45:16Paris.
45:17Dubai.
45:17How many in Dubai, Rashid?
45:2031.
45:2031?
45:2132 if you count Agent Talbot.
45:24No great loss.
45:24None of us like too much.
45:26I only kill those who come for me first.
45:27The coven leader's name is Killer.
45:30Tell Vampire Sam I'm gonna need him in Vegas and Reno next month.
45:34Been tracking him since 1925.
45:36A coffin offloaded from a boat out of Copenhagen.
45:40I don't care.
45:41No.
45:42Went by a different name then.
45:44His name was Bruce.
45:50Bruce.
45:52Hmm.
45:53I believe your Claudia spent a few nights with him once.
45:58Hmm?
46:05Listen to tracks from the Vampire List ad wherever you stream music.
46:12Evening then.
46:13Happy to be here.
46:15Give me a million more screams.
46:18Nicola Dorenfant.
46:20Let's stop.
46:21What's he doing in Paris?
46:22Give me a million more screams.
46:28Your mother?
46:32I want you to lie enough to give it to me.
46:42How did I get here?
46:43Sophia.
46:44Sophia.
46:45Forgotten my name already?
46:48Hello.
46:49Sophia.
46:50Yeah.
46:54Within this context of the failures, the first big failure was the failure of his family unit.
47:00Are you a good boy, Lestat?
47:05Answer your brother, Lestat.
47:07As a kid, his mother was the only person in this very hostile environment who sort of showed him any
47:14sort of affection.
47:15When they first knew each other as humans, and Gabriella was Lestat's mother 300 years ago, they lived in a
47:22situation where neither of them had any agency or power.
47:27She had a horrible relationship with her husband and was deeply unhappy and lonely.
47:34There's a lot that you learn about who Lestat is when Gabriella, his mother, shows up.
47:41Now the wolves, they are taking our sheep.
47:43They will snatch a babe soon.
47:45Go on!
47:46There's nothing more we can do here!
47:48But be men!
47:50She knows that if anybody's gonna get up at that table and try to solve this problem with the wolves,
47:57it's going to be Lestat.
47:59The killing of the wolves is connected intrinsically to Gabriella.
48:03Gabriella is saying, go out and be something.
48:08This is Lestat's moment to be like, I'm gonna do something.
48:11I'm gonna make something of my life and I'm gonna go out and kill them, even if I die.
48:23When Lestat kills the wolves, he's 30 years old.
48:27And in Gabriella's mind, he's been at home longer than he should have.
48:32From room to room, slaughtering the three of them.
48:36That's what I dreamt when I killed the wolves' mother.
48:39That is a shared desire between the two of them.
48:43And then that's given him enough impetus to get out and go and do something.
48:46He goes to Paris.
48:48Turns into a vampire.
48:49His mom's dying.
48:50Turns his mom into a vampire.
48:57Once Gabriella is turned into a vampire, they both want to go back and kill them.
49:01And now they can.
49:09She can now live the life she's always wanted to live.
49:13And vampirism liberates her.
49:15I was absolutely drawn to Gabriella's absolute love of being a vampire.
49:23For her, it is almost like a finding of herself, I think.
49:28Or certainly the only time in her life that she has had autonomy and power.
49:35Do you have a lot of sex?
49:37Of course.
49:39Do you like it?
49:40Like you do the blood.
49:42It's never like the blood.
49:43They love each other.
49:44I mean, they're mother and son and they're lovers.
49:46I mean, and they're fledgling and maker.
49:48I mean, they have a super complicated relationship.
49:50But they're the only people still alive that both knew each other when they were human.
49:54I think that's really important.
49:55It's like that you know me, who I really am.
49:58You know where I came from.
49:59You know what my fundamental drive is.
50:01And you remember me as a human being before I was this other thing.
50:06So they're deeply connected.
50:08And it's toxic, but, you know, everything's toxic in the vampire world.
50:25You stole my personal physician.
50:28You trashed my hotel.
50:29I didn't know you were a trashy hotel.
50:30The Detroit Coven trashed your hotel.
50:31I've heard the song.
50:32The songs are not about you.
50:34It feels like a cry for help.
50:37So I flew in because I care.
50:40I think Louie's being a complete troll in that scene.
50:43He gets off on making Lister angry, I think, to some extent.
50:46Did you take turns driving across the Golden Gate Bridge?
50:50You held the wheel higher.
50:51Writing numbers on each other's backs and pretending to guess them wrong.
50:55I bet.
50:56I bet!
50:57It's a really fun scene.
50:59It's a real attack.
51:00And he knows he's gonna rile him up.
51:02It was quite strange to go from being this, like, very strong, centered vampire to being just sort of petty.
51:12Christine, could you please provide two tickets to Mr. Pit here and his Esquire for tomorrow night's show?
51:18One will do.
51:19Lemuel doesn't enjoy your music.
51:22As petty as he's been, I think Louie is looking forward to seeing Lister's show.
51:29I was afraid, I was afraid, I was afraid of Louie.
51:37I think he's also impressed.
51:39This is what he should have always been doing.
51:46A lot of his songs, you don't really know who they're about.
51:49Could be about Louie, could be about Nicky, could be about Gabriela.
51:51It's very on brand for Louie to think every song is about him.
51:55And then on another level, I think there's probably, like, a gossipy side of Louie that's like,
51:59Who's this about?
52:00When did this happen?
52:02Who is that?
52:02Who is he?
52:03Who is she?
52:04Could be about just the fact that why does he have to feel in general?
52:06Because he's a very emotive character and he kind of gets totally riled up in his own emotions and he'll
52:12ride them.
52:12So, I think that can be a frustrating thing.
52:15I mean, he's obviously doing a very intensely power-thrusting version of the song,
52:20And intentionally ignoring Louie until he can't anymore.
52:42Oh, I tried to write you the prettiest song in the world.
52:53But I got distracted.
52:57When he gets the book and he sees that it's all scribbled and scrawled,
53:02And I think it's when the guilt really starts to creep in.
53:05This is the first time they've had a little private moment about it.
53:08Louie has that kind of effect on the start that he, you know,
53:11Will get so angry that it will freeze time and fly up to him and sing in his face.
53:15Yeah.
53:15Oh, why, why, why, why do I have to feel?
53:24The pain is too much to heal.
53:31The pain is too much to heal.
53:34The pain is too much to heal.
53:42The pain is too much to heal.
53:45The pain is too much to heal.
53:48The pain is too much to heal.
53:50The pain is too much to heal.
53:50The pain is too much to heal.
53:50The pain is too much to heal.
53:51The pain is too much to heal.
53:51The pain is too much to heal.
53:52The pain is too much to heal.
53:54The pain is too much to heal.
53:55The pain is too much to heal.
53:57The pain is too much to heal.
53:58The pain is too much to heal.
54:00You
