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 sauné.
00:00:45Tu as feuille de ton Nicolas l'un de nous.
00:00:47Trop 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 are listening to The Failures, album 22, side A.
00:01:13The vainglorious homogeny of the Toronto skyline is something to behold.
00:01:18An onslaught of impractical condominiums dominated by a 147-floor water pick.
00:01:24Its banality is lost on the polite citizenry of Canada.
00:01:28To them, it's iconic.
00:01:30And 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.
00:01:39Had they stayed within the realities of their budget and consummated their union in their home province,
00:01:44the marriage might have lasted longer.
00:01:47But love born from a speed dating event in Moosejo, Sakasachuan merited an unhurried commemoration.
00:01:54Can I offer my assistance?
00:01:56Oh, mercy.
00:01:57Aren't you the angel?
00:02:00Kind of me, sir.
00:02:02My pleasure.
00:02:02I'm not sure I 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,
00:02:27and I channeled our kills into prurient performances,
00:02:31licking the underside of Lake Erie in Cleveland and Buffalo
00:02:35before rounding the shaft of Lake Ontario.
00:02:43Lover.
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.
00:02:59I 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.
00:03:07Mounted above a coven toilet if it weren't for me.
00:03:10Transformational trauma, Dale.
00:03:11Is it Sophia again?
00:03:12What do you know about her?
00:03:13Mystery vagina passed its sell-by date.
00:03:15What 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.
00:03:26Lestat 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.
00:03:37I 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.
00:04:27What's that on your lip, Yada?
00:04:30Okay, we're going to be using a new camera today.
00:04:32It's called Niteratron.
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 tour
00:04:46footage, okay?
00:04:47So, you were a stutterer as a child.
00:04:54Evening, Dan.
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.
00:05:11Jefferson 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 chicken up your spine, telling you to run.
00:05:43I'm a hidden shadow.
00:05:45I'm a lost love.
00:05:47I'm a past and the future, the last of the sutures, the cool and dove.
00:05:51Where the rock and roll is.
00:05:53Where the kids hang.
00:05:55Where the heart of me love and the face of the mud.
00:05:57Where the stupid rain.
00:06:00Bang, bang.
00:06:02Bang, bang.
00:06:03Bang, bang.
00:06:28Oh, 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.
00:06:45I'll kick that door down, Dan.
00:06:47I 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,
00:07:00Ooh, 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, 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.
00:07:39Judged and drained, 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.
00:08:13Were 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.
00:08:32They didn't make bunch, but they seemed, uh, organized,
00:08:36which 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,
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.
00:09:33It's embarrassing.
00:09:36They're stuttering.
00:09:37Stop the cameras.
00:09:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:09:40Let them see.
00:09:43Let them see.
00:09:44I have had 40 shows
00:09:52in 43 fucking nights.
00:09:58No one cares.
00:10:27I'm the vampire Louis de Pointillac.
00:10:31Undone by your relentless questionings,
00:10:33Mr. Molloy.
00:10:34Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:11:04Hello, I'm making a brief call to share an important message with you.
00:11:07You got the wrong ad-
00:11:08The wrong ad-
00:11:15I'm looking for killer.
00:11:18Don't. Don't do that. Just think it. I'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?
00:11:32Binks. Binks.
00:11:33Where's killer?
00:11:34Governor.
00:11:47Bester, you got another possum? Bester.
00:11:55I'm looking to kill him.
00:11:57You're not killer.
00:11:59Okay.
00:12:00Oh, here y'all.
00:12:02Anybody seen killer?
00:12:04Killer!
00:12:07Someone's hit. We gotta do it.
00:12:09I'm still!
00:12:11And what?
00:12:12You see the one?
00:12:14Okay, how about you?
00:12:20Killer?
00:12:23Killer?
00:12:25Killer?
00:12:28She walks the wind and has a panther with silver birds.
00:12:34How, how?
00:12:36How, how?
00:12:38How, how?
00:12:40How, how, how?
00:12:41Out the door.
00:12:43Through the fields.
00:12:47Keep straight five minutes.
00:12:49It's a car.
00:12:50Great dog.
00:12:52Don't look back.
00:12:56Eight wolves by 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. 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. I 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 chair, opening your mouth wide only to have the dentist say,
00:13:35I'm not a dentist, as he loops up a thick rubber glove.
00:13:38So, you be gentle, Dan.
00:13:42I think he's just bored by you. Try 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. Tell me about that.
00:14:03Marguerite Deray, Jeanne Baudin, the twins, Marte and Aimée Roulet,
00:14:09ceased their prayers and adored the devil in ceremony, said the torch-bearing priests.
00:14:14You remember their names. Teenage girls with the resonant voices of men,
00:14:20screaming and thrashing for hours till their jawbones fell and the devil could sing no more.
00:14:25And you were nine.
00:14:29That's what moms did with kids before Lego and Peppa Pig.
00:14:33Looking back on it now, they were definitely witches. The twins, that is.
00:14:37Marguerite Deray, Jeanne, probably caught masturbating in a field with a few sick oxen.
00:14:42Two for fours. Not bad, considering it was a priestly-led sentence.
00:14:45What happened at 29?
00:14:49Hmm.
00:14:55I 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 that his whole body leaned into the music.
00:15:13Had I the ear I have now, I would have found a pedestrian.
00:15:16But I was an ape from Auvergne.
00:15:19And it sounded like a guard machine, played by an angel.
00:15:24Ah, merde!
00:15:26Take us quick elsewhere or next, I won't miss.
00:15:29Oh, it must be Al Mozart rising over all that disturbs your peace, madame kindly.
00:15:33Piss off!
00:15:34This is Nicky who you sing about in your song, Why Do I Have to Feel.
00:15:44Nicolas 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.
00:15:55I am finished.
00:16:02Nicolas de l'Enfant.
00:16:05D'Esta?
00:16:08De Lyoncourt?
00:16:10Uh, non.
00:16:12De Valois.
00:16:14Tell me to your title.
00:16:17Wearing pantaloons.
00:16:18What?
00:16:22Trying to fit in.
00:16:24You know what flying cloak, eh?
00:16:27Good luck with that.
00:16:31What are you doing in Paris?
00:16:36Eight walls.
00:16:38Impossible.
00:16:40I stuck the heads in the square and the children play hide the heads with them.
00:16:45Sounds like our village.
00:16:51It's my father's teaching.
00:16:54Hmm.
00:16:55He gave it to me before I left.
00:16:57And your address on the Rue de Mon...
00:17:00Mon...
00:17:01Mon...
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.
00:17:16Oh my God!
00:17:19Please don't.
00:17:21Please don't be no more of the lacrimzing.
00:17:25Please don't be.
00:17:26Live in the equality, fraternity.
00:17:29Pain in his prison.
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, tell him I love him and that I'm proud of him.
00:18:19What did he really say?
00:18:22He said, help him to be a man.
00:18:26But he said it without the stomach.
00:18:33Are you going to teach me to be a man?
00:18:36This is done about one.
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.
00:18:52Stop.
00:18:53Vape.
00:18:54Check your phone.
00:18:56Press play.
00:18:57Oh, good.
00:18:57Now he's a vampire.
00:18:58But you're not a vampire.
00:19:00You're the stuttering ape of Auvergne.
00:19:02Simon, ton-ton-ton.
00:19:03Ton-ton-ton.
00:19:04Ton-ton-ton.
00:19:05Ton-ton-ton.
00:19:05C'est attendu.
00:19:06Any Quebecers here?
00:19:07Tongue twisters.
00:19:08Vocal exercises.
00:19:09Repeated every day for two years while I wash the floors and empty chamber pots.
00:19:14Sarah Nod's theatre job I got through Nicky who worked in the pit there, so.
00:19:18Go pull up the song for him that, uh, Why Do I Have to Feel.
00:19:24Oh, I love that song.
00:19:25So, the stuttering, you 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.
00:20:04Come on.
00:20:04Come on.
00:20:06Come on.
00:20:08Come on.

00:31:50No, no.
00:31:51Nicky, stop.
00:31:52You're 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...
00:33:04In the moment...
00:33:07The words were true.
00:33:14I think...
00:33:22I remember the light...
00:33:28Fireplace...
00:33:29Reflecting golden onto his face.
00:33:33On his...
00:33:35And his...
00:33:37Bare arms.
00:33:43But I would not look at the world.
00:33:46I could not.
00:33:52I...
00:33:53I...
00:33:57I couldn't do it.
00:34:02I...
00:34:03But I watched.
00:34:09As Armand...
00:34:10As Armand...
00:34:12Pushed him into the fire.
00:34:15I 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...
00:34:37Formed into a...
00:34:43Circle.
00:34:46And he made only one sound.
00:35:10As though he knew...
00:35:14That he was dead.
00:35:17It was nothing.
00:35:26Remember me?
00:35:28Remember me?
00:35:29Okay, can 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.
00:35:51Arduous.
00:35:53It's tour.
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.
00:36:04Tomorrow's venue is staying open so that I could sound...
00:36:06Let Larry run it!
00:36:10How is Czech me?
00:36:11Like Curlou Vivari.
00:36:13Fun for three minutes.
00:36:14Then 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 heads that way.
00:36:26There's a shameful tiki bar in a Parkdale.
00:36:30Rain check, Sofia.
00:36:41Well, that took forever.
00:36:45Right?
00:36:47Run 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.
00:36:57Vampires.
00:36:57They'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...
00:37:10Go back a few more minutes.
00:37:11Please.
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?
00:37:33What the?
00:37:35Where's the part where he talks about transforming Nikki?
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, it was freaking 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.
00:38:05The 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 watered 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.
00:38:28Album 28, side B.
00:38:32You young carrying me into the threshold?
00:38:34Yes, ma'am.
00:38:35Mm-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.
00:38:53We can give it a try.
00:38:57We're home!
00:39:05It's all 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 in the bed.
00:39:17I got you in the bed.
00:39:41upstairs, friend? I did. Where's the food? I'll call him an Uber.
00:39:59What the fuck did you do to my husband?
00:40:07Are my totaling truth? Want to tell him what that is?
00:40:12Oh, shit. This is, okay. This is about the fucking little stab shit.
00:40:19Yeah, that wasn't my fault. I have these Gen Z fledglings, these righteous fuckers who thinks we ought to be
00:40:29in the sewers and shit.
00:40:30Shh. He's my baby, Jen. Shut up, Bruce.
00:40:34You call me Bruce? Because 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.
00:41:10Apples with a hint of cowardice.
00:41:16Still in rags?
00:41:17Is this better?
00:41:23Same face, same smell. No hope for you, Father Max.
00:41:27Not exactly forthcoming, the vampire journalist. Left out a few prickly details.
00:41:37Uh-oh. You forgot to put your blinkers on.
00:41:41Uh-oh.
00:41:46Bruce 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.
00:41:56He plunked me onto his motorbike.
00:42:00And swished into his friendly self.
00:42:03The Lord's right hand is gifted.
00:42:04The Lord's right hand is my strength and salvation.
00:42:07The trust of joy and victory resound from the sense of the right.
00:42:10The Lord's right hand is divine.
00:42:14The Lord's right hand is divine.
00:42:28When 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
00:42:5368 courses so far
00:42:56We keep waiting for the bill
00:42:58But 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 changed a lot of little French folks
00:43:12With 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
00:43:21Dear diary
00:43:22What it's like to have a person
00:43:24Crack your spine
00:43:25Try and open you up
00:43:26And shove a pencil
00:43:27Inside you
00:43:28Very hard company
00:43:30At the long table
00:43:32A hand
00:43:34A finger
00:43:36A drummer
00:43:39A pimp
00:43:40A pimp
00:43:41Of you
00:43:44Claudia
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
00:43:56All the bad things happen
00:43:59That bad men do
00:44:01He had my legs pulled apart
00:44:04And my dress pulled up
00:44:06Around my waist
00:44:07And that awful
00:44:10And that awful
00:44:10Stuffed full
00:44:11Too wet feeling
00:44:14Down there
00:44:16Like I was packed with dirt
00:44:21And I hope
00:44:23And I hope
00:44:24One day he feels this
00:44:26Small
00:44:27And cornered
00:44:29And crushed like it can
00:44:33But then there were the parts
00:44:36Where he brought home kills
00:44:39And I sat with him
00:44:42And ate
00:44:44I just said
00:44:47What he wanted to hear
00:44:52Ask for it
00:44:53Child
00:44:54And it ain't easy to like myself
00:44:57Because of it
00:44:59All the light's gone out
00:45:01Of your blue eyes
00:45:02I even once felt a twench
00:45:04Of something nice
00:45:06As if all the summer days
00:45:08Are gone
00:45:10No
00:45:10And not the worst thing ever
00:45:13No
00:45:20He let me go
00:45:21Because I seemed
00:45:22Small
00:45:23And it looked like he'd won
00:45:26And he did win
00:45:28Because I want
00:45:30Nothing
00:45:33To be
00:45:34Nothing
00:45:36And say
00:45:38Nothing
00:45:39And do
00:45:40Nothing
00:45:42You know the stupidest of all
00:45:45Dear diary
00:45:46I thought I was the thing
00:45:48Lurking in the shadows
00:45:50I thought I was
00:46:02That's it
00:46:07That's it
00:46:09Ziff
00:46:25I imagine you naked in your gold, gilded bed, wondering 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, or 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, and I thought,
00:47:04why not ride it to blindness? Because it seemed possible.
00:47:09This was the muddy bottom, and on the other side, a marble floor, polished to the horizon.
00:47:15Music 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. It'll wait till you're done, till you come.
00:47:38Like a vampire. You can't drink away the loneliness. It'll wait till the next day like a headache.
00:47:55Suckin' you dry. You can't escape this loneliness. It'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.
00:48:34Don't bury them.
00:48:42Don't bury them.
00:48:57Safe.
00:48:59Safe.
00:49:01Nearly home.
00:49:03You get what you wanted out there?
00:49:06Yeah.
00:49:08Yeah.
00:49:30Loneliness, love will fade, and you stay, and you stay, and you stay, and you stay with your settlers, you
00:49:44can't escape this loneliness.
00:49:49It'll pray, it'll pass
00:49:54How could anybody ever learn?
00:50:05Don't hide it away

00:52:04so who else wants to share tonight
00:52:08come on guys i will i'll share um hello
00:52:22my name is arun
00:52:27hello arun and i am an addict
00:52:40listen to tracks from the vampire list ad wherever you stream music
00:53:00hi what can i get you the star is going to get us all killed i've got five more shows
00:53:06i'm getting
00:53:06bored so what are we doing shall we scorch the mortal world
00:53:16the stuttering wolf killer the vampire lestat evening then happy to be here
00:53:26malloy is a deft investigator but he's never investigated anybody like this before and
00:53:32that's going to become really clear in this episode were you a stutterer as a child it's a
00:53:36really wild interview scene i mean there's like 300 things happening at one time you perform a song
00:53:43every night by your abuser magnus biggest fan abuser
00:53:57you see the music video of how the start wants to portray his transformation and he's like i'm
00:54:05going to write you my you know sweet little taylor swift pop ballad song make a fool out of my
00:54:11maker
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
00:54:29we cast damien atkins as magnus he's terrifying vulnerable creature and the transformation that he
00:54:39inflicts upon lestat is incredibly violent ready and action we were trying to really make it as brutal as
00:54:49we possibly could so that had a real contrast to his kind of gilded music video version that he wanted
00:54:56to to show
00:55:00and then damien's got this incredible like neck blood pump you know that i'm getting rained on
00:55:07beneath and blood going into my eyes and we tried to make it as gruesome as possible and really show
00:55:13that it was an actual assault and that is something that lestat like completely carries through his life
00:55:19as his transformation was full-on kidnapping assault he's got to reconcile that on a daily basis
00:55:33what happened at 29 nicola de l'enfant my first love don't bring him into eternity
00:55:50disaster gabriella cannot bear nikki i think she really is being honest and i think she's absolutely
00:55:56right she knows that lestat doesn't really want to spend eternity with nikki does nikola know about us
00:56:02what is us this is one of those scenes that i was really interested to see how they were going
00:56:09to
00:56:09revisit the theater this is basically a revisit of armand's story to daniel in episode three of season
00:56:21two but now it's through lestat's eyes which arguably is maybe the more truthful version i love
00:56:28you lestat christ and there's also the dynamic of gabriella oh she doesn't like armand do you think
00:56:35you're the only one in the company he drinks from do you think i am the only one with disdain
00:56:40for his
00:56:40fledgling armand is like the consummate third wheel in every situation louis and lestat armand gabriella and
00:56:46armand and armand's jealousy really shows he knew that nikki couldn't withstand what it takes to
00:56:58live this life he was already unstable before he became a vampire and armand has seen vampires
00:57:04succumb to the madness so 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
00:57:23molloy thinks he strikes gold as it turns out that's uh an illusion what am i looking at here
00:57:31what is this no yeah it was freaking weirdsville to you to sat there for like half an hour eh
00:57:37it is
00:57:38a mean-spirited prank in the fact that molloy didn't get it on camera but he is talking truth
00:57:43to molloy when he gives him his telepathic story about what happened there it's more of a shared
00:57:48experience between the two of them the anger is deep to some degree lestat is bullying daniel
00:57:54and i don't respond well to bullying and i will push back hard we would like you to
00:58:01take care of our problem in detroit mr du lac the coven leader's name is bruce i believe your claudia
00:58:10spent a few nights with him once at the end of episode two raglan james tempts louie with this
00:58:16getting revenge on the guy who hurt claudia and louie has a big hole in his heart and he feels
00:58:25like
00:58:25doing this will fill it making a brief call to share an important message with you you got the
00:58:30wrong ad the wrong that first section when he's trying to get to bruce he's doing his job what i'm
00:58:37looking for killer you're not killer okay he's become so adept at doing this he's very efficient
00:58:45and also he's held himself back a lot from having that kind of killer instinct so then when it comes
00:58:52out
00:58:52it like it explodes the thing i actually found creepiest about that set was the bathtubs and the
00:59:00people lying in there fully clothed and 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 and they were like it's it's warm i was like
00:59:12okay so it's like
00:59:12a bath it's still horrible he wanted bruce to understand on some level a degree of the pain
00:59:23and of the suffering that he put claudia under you and i have a friend in common i personally had
00:59:32a
00:59:32kind of complicated relationship with louie reading claudia's diary entry because i sort of felt like
00:59:39that's not really his place but i think louie thinks that he's speaking on her behalf and it
00:59:45looked like he won and he did win because i want nothing to be nothing it's just important that before
00:59:55he dies he can hear it for himself the hell that he created and then it's done
01:00:14i think one of the most poignant moments of the season up to this point is you see him in
01:00:20that diner
01:00:20i think he realizes almost immediately that it can't bring her back it can't undo
01:00:26the pain hi you okay who can i get you anything else i'm good thank you regina
01:00:53so
01:01:01you
01:01:02you
