00:00:00Watch The Vampire Lestat After Dark on AMC Plus or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:00:05Previously on The Vampire Lestat.
00:00:08Shall we do it?
00:00:09Shall we scorch the mortal world?
00:00:12Desolate.
00:00:13Together for our determined.
00:00:15Claudia, I look like her.
00:00:17You're the only one watching me like I'm Netflix.
00:00:19And a million guesses you would not guess.
00:00:21What happened to her?
00:00:22You can have a different life.
00:00:24What now, Daddy Lou?
00:00:25What about Greece?
00:00:26Hunt Springs.
00:00:27Those who must be captive.
00:00:28What was that?
00:00:29I have the blood of Akasha.
00:00:31Sorry, what the fuck is Akasha?
00:00:33Is there an evil older than you?
00:00:35You're a maker, Marius.
00:00:37My maker is dead.
00:00:38I've told you that already.
00:00:39Was Dubai bullshit?
00:00:41Me breaking you down.
00:00:42You knew everything the whole time.
00:00:44Loving Louie doesn't shut it off.
00:00:46It wasn't my love for Louie.
00:00:48Best.
00:00:49But it was love.
00:00:51You've been reaching them.
00:00:53Yes.
00:00:54They are lost and tired of enduring.
00:00:57Your music speaks to them.
00:00:59When's he going to make an album?
00:01:03When we are ready!
00:01:05You are listening to The Failures.
00:01:08Album 41.
00:01:09Side B.
00:01:20My first coffin had the likeness of my maker carved into its lid.
00:01:25Indecipherable Latin etched around the rim.
00:01:27And as I was an orphan vampire, my sleep within troubled.
00:01:33Again.
00:01:34I spent half of two decades in the silken embrace of a chestnut casket purchased for my French
00:01:40quarter townhome.
00:01:42Before it was hurled off a balcony during one of Mr. Duel X redirected moods.
00:01:47Again.
00:01:49What exactly are we going for here on take 17?
00:01:54We are going for again.
00:01:58Okay.
00:01:59I have slumbered in a variety of sarcophagi over the centuries, but if I had to choose
00:02:04a favorite, it would be the 7,000 square foot model I endured in the fall of 2025, while
00:02:11I recorded my posthumously produced album that Pitchfork would trash, and for which the
00:02:16world shouts in feeble attempts to explain away clearly attributable devastation, j'accuse.
00:02:24But I, Amel, digress.
00:02:27Again.
00:02:28Take 28.
00:02:30The deranged Wegmans produce manager, Beau Ridley, provided me the Frenchest of exits,
00:02:36and the good fortune of a second mass shooting with a higher body count occurring that same
00:02:40night made the faking of my death all the easier.
00:02:44Again.
00:02:46Take 46.
00:02:47An amnesia fund was created, and annual payments in perpetuity were issued to Jarda Klapik,
00:02:54a coroner, an obituary writer for the Czech Brodsheet Bravo, Di, Daniel, Fareed, and two
00:03:00dozen other collaborators, including Christine Clare, who bought a retirement villa and wallpapered
00:03:06her basement sex dungeon with billable hour invoices.
00:03:15Again.
00:03:17Take 61.
00:03:19Take 61.
00:03:19Four!
00:03:19I would leave this coffin only once in four months.
00:03:23I would butcher the band for bloom and marbling, fleece the muses of their animus, and stop
00:03:29at nothing until an album worthy of the long lurid life of Les Daudeliencourt burned into
00:03:35elegiac audio formats.
00:03:37And when that was achieved, I would perform it once live in that now infamous concert.
00:03:43And, well, we'll come to that later.
00:03:47But like Elvis or Andy Kaufman, rumors swirled of my survival, so Sophia Gabriela Deliancourt
00:03:53de Vecchia took over for Christine and whittled down my entourage to the essentials, which was
00:03:59her and the vampire Sam Barkley, whom she hired as a producer for three reasons.
00:04:04One, he had faked his death once before so he could be trusted to maintain the right.
00:04:09Two, he knew the board well enough from his own recordings.
00:04:12Big Bad Wolf vocals, take one.
00:04:15And three, she knew I hated him for his part in Paris, and that would keep me lively.
00:04:24I'm the Big Bad Wolf.
00:04:30Nice.
00:04:31Nice.
00:04:32Take one.
00:04:33Fabulous.
00:04:35Moving on.
00:04:36So, straighten your tie, inflate your lips, be it facial or labial.
00:04:40We are going to trace my self-taught musicianship back to its weird and haunting origin.
00:04:46That's right, I'm finally going to talk about the Queen.
00:05:10I'm the best of the future, the last of the sutures, the cool and dumb.
00:05:14Where the rock and roll is.
00:05:16Where the good time.
00:05:18Where the heart of me love and the face of the mother wear this stupid rhyme.
00:05:24Bang, bang.
00:05:25Bang, bang.
00:05:27Bang, bang.
00:05:28Bang, bang.
00:05:29Bang, bang.
00:05:42Bang, bang.
00:05:50Again.
00:05:52Again.
00:06:17A drum sounds like a drum.
00:06:19That's because it's a drum?
00:06:22Hmm.
00:06:25The drums can't sound like a drum.
00:06:27Okay.
00:06:29What do you want it to sound like, then?
00:06:33It has to sound like death approaching.
00:06:36Oh, my God.
00:06:37Like life emerging.
00:06:39Like, yeah, cool. Like life and death.
00:06:41Death, then life.
00:06:42Okay.
00:06:43A mewing babe extracted from a mother's womb.
00:06:45Okay.
00:06:46I, uh...
00:06:48I don't play metaphorical drums.
00:06:51Try.
00:06:51I can do faster, or harder, or shuffle, fill, blam, buzz roll.
00:06:56Like a drum is a drum, a stick is a stick.
00:06:58I don't know what to tell you.
00:07:00It's because she's not a vampire.
00:07:02It's because her deepest wound is a man walking away mid-ceremony.
00:07:07Wow.
00:07:09Cool.
00:07:10Yoko Mirren.
00:07:13Guests at my death bed.
00:07:16We are making an album about my life, which has been a three century train wreck.
00:07:22Your drums are my heart.
00:07:25What?
00:07:26Your guitar is my hunger.
00:07:29Your bass, the night terrors that follow me to coffin.
00:07:36What's my guitar?
00:07:37Yes, please interrupt my flow, Larry.
00:07:41Your guitar is my frailty.
00:07:46Keep coloring inside the lines as you play and I'll nod a tempo mark to your life jacket.
00:07:52Blair, Blair, come on, it's in me.
00:07:55We are here to pull the plug.
00:07:58Hmm?
00:07:59Have some reverence.
00:08:01Kill me savagely.
00:08:04Yup, sure.
00:08:06Sam, let's jump to something else. TC's not ready.
00:08:08I'm fine, I-
00:08:09Can I hear when I call out your name? Vocal 12.
00:08:11Copy that.
00:08:11What?
00:08:12Blue eyes, eyes of the blue.
00:08:19Blue eyes, eyes of the blue.
00:08:25Blue is the sea.
00:08:28Tinctures of violence, out of hell.
00:08:33Blue eyes, eyes of the blue.
00:08:37Blue is the sea.
00:08:40Fished him from the wilds of the blue.
00:08:44Pop-popper's grey.
00:08:46Love is his mother.
00:08:50Love is her.
00:08:51Love is her.
00:08:55Wanted to take care of her, as you say.
00:08:57No, he was there.
00:08:59She was not.
00:09:03Where am I?
00:09:05For pulling me from the earth.
00:09:08For saving me from starvation.
00:09:10Thank you for the warm blood shared.
00:09:11Yes.
00:09:12You're welcome.
00:09:13She told me where you were, and there you were, and there I was.
00:09:16I brought you back, and...
00:09:18Here we are.
00:09:22Who are you?
00:09:23I am Marius de Romanos.
00:09:27I am the keeper.
00:09:29Was the keeper.
00:09:31Now you are the keeper.
00:09:33Marius?
00:09:34An echo?
00:09:37Armand said that you were destroyed.
00:09:40You was wrong.
00:09:42Rotten boy.
00:09:46She likes music.
00:09:50Come.
00:09:59Touch.
00:10:02They are the mother and father to all of us.
00:10:04And they must be kept.
00:10:07This one?
00:10:10Akasha.
00:10:12This tomb.
00:10:14It's alive.
00:10:15Very alive.
00:10:18Very.
00:10:21Much alive.
00:10:27That's a very flattering offer.
00:10:31Sadly, we were only planning to do one in Memorian concert.
00:10:37Okay.
00:10:39Nice to talk.
00:10:42Laurence Welsh wants the Vampire Lestat to open for her.
00:10:46That he is two meters deep in Austria, huh?
00:10:48No, she wants them after the album comes out.
00:10:51Sorry. Sorry.
00:10:52Can we do that again?
00:10:53Can I get a little bit more vocal in my ears, please?
00:10:56In the ear, down the throat, past the colon.
00:10:59Play it from your groin.
00:11:01Larry, please stop thinking about Alex eating burgers and enjoying Glenlivet again.
00:11:10More singer, Sam. Hold the head shrinking.
00:11:12From the top.
00:11:14So, you're gonna re-record his parts then?
00:11:18Bury the rest behind the other three.
00:11:25That's a deep grave.
00:11:32Pretend I'm Armand.
00:11:34Or the telemasker.
00:11:37Be the spineless mole once more.
00:11:43You dig a hole in the burrow for Larry's guitar.
00:11:51This is the job, Sam.
00:11:54Fill the space with worldly things.
00:11:58Go into the noise and dust of the city.
00:12:01Bring back presents of the present.
00:12:05This is the job.
00:12:06I want a job. I want to die.
00:12:07But you didn't die.
00:12:09Eighty years, face down with a seaman you killed.
00:12:13Long enough to learn the depths of despair.
00:12:16Do the job.
00:12:17Learn to endure the depths of living.
00:12:21Find yourself, Lustat.
00:12:23And I have lost myself.
00:12:26Bring me, Lustat, son of marvelous.
00:12:32From a tree of Oz, she chose you.
00:12:37A great honor.
00:12:39She likes music.
00:12:40She loves music.
00:12:42I don't know how to play.
00:12:43Recall your fledgling.
00:12:45Start with mimicry.
00:12:47I don't...
00:12:48Don't interrupt.
00:12:49Keep your hunts short.
00:12:52A quick sip of blood.
00:12:53A fast-fading warmth of the kill.
00:12:56Then back to them.
00:12:57Here.
00:12:57What happened to him?
00:12:58Interruption!
00:13:00You must bring one back.
00:13:01Burn them here.
00:13:03Use the ashes to keep her thriving.
00:13:09And no blood.
00:13:12Our blood overwhelms.
00:13:14Just the ash.
00:13:16Play her music.
00:13:20His name was Enkel.
00:13:23How did...
00:13:24We burned in the sun, yes?
00:13:26Do you remember a night when your body burned under the moon?
00:13:30Yes.
00:13:32Yes.
00:13:32Uh...
00:13:33Yes.
00:13:34And in Denmark, 1802...
00:13:36December, 1980-02.
00:13:37Finished the job transporting them from one crypt to another.
00:13:42Two bottles of ginger flower gin in the veins of a celebratory meal.
00:13:46I woke up next to her, my body afired.
00:13:50Hadn't finished the job.
00:13:56My mother and I were countryside.
00:13:59We ran ourselves into a bog.
00:14:01Oh.
00:14:02Took us months to recover.
00:14:04Bogs.
00:14:05Bogs are rare.
00:14:10And now you know.
00:14:13Why there are so few of us.
00:14:15I set us back ages.
00:14:20We are all connected.
00:14:24Through her.
00:14:25She is...
00:14:27She is the seed.
00:14:34And if she burns...
00:14:38We will burn.
00:14:39And you are her keeper.
00:14:42I don't like being alone.
00:14:44Ice...
00:14:45Trip...
00:14:46Stumble-fumble...
00:14:47I am not worthy of this job.
00:14:48I do not...
00:14:49Oh, leave now.
00:14:51The small becomes big, and the big becomes the end.
00:14:55The end will burn the tree of us.
00:14:57Because you are...
00:15:02Worthy.
00:15:08Let her tell you about herself.
00:15:16It will take time, Lucette.
00:15:19She is not on our o'clock.
00:15:21To me, not a word for 22 years when I first took the job.
00:15:3223.
00:15:37You are listening to The Failures.
00:15:39Album 46.
00:15:41Side A.
00:15:42It's called Rev Par.
00:15:44Short for Revenue Per Available Room.
00:15:46It's been trending down.
00:15:48Especially in high-end luxury property.
00:15:50Probably expanded too fast.
00:15:51But...
00:15:52There's padding now.
00:15:53So...
00:15:54I jumped on it.
00:15:55I got two more.
00:15:56One in Montreal.
00:15:57One in Boston.
00:16:00A place for us.
00:16:02Yeah.
00:16:03And them.
00:16:04There's not enough of us to make it profitable.
00:16:07But they can come watch if they want.
00:16:10If you don't want to be watched, then there's a private room in the back.
00:16:14Different menu in the back room.
00:16:16Little drinks.
00:16:18I missed you, brother.
00:16:23I missed you too, sis.
00:16:26Both of you.
00:16:28I wish we could stay longer.
00:16:30But you know Claudia.
00:16:33Always go go go.
00:16:34Got into something deep last night, and didn't clean good.

00:26:23One, two, three, four!
00:26:26Big Boss, guess who have fun?
00:26:2839, 8, 83, 80s dick behind my back.
00:26:32Oh, don't you dare write down this history.
00:26:35If you know him, then you'd run almost more.
00:26:38Only the Big Boss, guess who just died?
00:26:41The guy who stays alive?
00:26:52You're not going to have the hikes, you're already dead.
00:26:54It's a great idea.
00:26:54Is this a good idea?
00:26:55Are we ready?
00:26:56Are we ready?
00:26:56Are we ready?
00:26:57Bad idea.
00:26:59Ready.
00:27:03Who stays alive?
00:27:13Again.
00:27:14Who dies and who stays alive?
00:27:19No.
00:27:20Who stays alive?
00:27:34Moving on.
00:27:36You are listening to The Failures, album 49, side B.
00:27:41So how's it worked, you and him?
00:27:45How's it work?
00:27:46Where you at with Lemuel?
00:27:48Uh, taking it slow.
00:27:51Holding hands for now.
00:27:54Yeah.
00:27:55Keeping it loose.
00:27:59Um, sorry, you don't, you don't have to do the accent.
00:28:03Oh.
00:28:04Yeah, it's, it's, it's hard, the, yeah, so maybe just.
00:28:09Use my own voice?
00:28:10Yeah.
00:28:11Safe.
00:28:12Start again?
00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:16What's it like with Lemuel?
00:28:20Simple things, like he asked me how I'm doing, and I say I'm good, and I ask him how he's
00:28:28doing, and he says, I'm hungry, or put down that iPad and give me some attention.
00:28:36Um, he doesn't count time like it's a badge.
00:28:40Which, I go nice, I don't know where he is, but I like it that way.
00:28:45Yeah.
00:28:47Taking it slow.
00:28:49Mm.
00:28:59What you, what you writing in there?
00:29:01Uh, yeah, just this and this.
00:29:06All right, you two, don't make me call the police.
00:29:10Take the boat back to the dock.
00:29:12We're gonna pretend this never.
00:29:17You doing that to him?
00:29:19Yeah.
00:29:23Do it to me.
00:29:27Nah, let's just get out of nowhere.
00:29:28Come on, make me a stone.
00:29:30I'm gonna.
00:29:59I'm going to be a stone.
00:30:00You're gonna be a stone.
00:30:04What? Did you?
00:30:05Let's just, uh, let's get out of here.
00:30:07I can't hold him for too long.
00:30:27Here they come, Nicky.
00:30:29Herbaud, the clarinet, the announcement, the reprise, the harmonic shift.
00:30:40Oh, foreshadowing.
00:30:42Yes, I can, yes.
00:30:44Move to the subdominant, but not yet.
00:30:46Not yet.
00:30:47Not yet, madame.
00:30:49Oh, if I say you would have loved it.
00:30:52Competing strings, Father Max.
00:30:54The counterpoint is like, uh,
00:30:59trembling waterfalls.
00:31:00It's like hungry peasants itching for a fight.
00:31:08What do you think, Marius?
00:31:10Oh, you're still on holiday?
00:31:12I blame you, Armand's rotten guest.
00:31:14Oh, no voices.
00:31:25No voices.
00:31:30Perhaps if you finish the goddamn symphony,
00:31:32it might have brought the choir in the final movement.
00:31:34But, um, it's a signature blend of Ottoman bicycle enthusiasts and a Swedish barrel maker from Malmo,
00:31:44who thought the Acropolis looked drab.
00:31:52Then it became that kind of party here, Enkel.
00:31:56You like to watch?
00:32:00Oh, don't look now.
00:32:02But Magnus, his hand is wandering down my older brother's pants.
00:32:07Are you affronted by these intimacies, Enkel?
00:32:10Oh, my hand on your eve, on the eve of a great century.
00:32:28Splash of red for the new year.
00:32:31You have been exquisite in your years.
00:32:47They split number eight on the middle.
00:32:49Practical limitations cutting through his romantic gestures.
00:32:53You're supposed to watch the music, Armand.
00:32:56I don't know why I invite you, worthless.
00:33:03Oh.
00:33:09I scratched.
00:33:11I scratched it.
00:33:14Stupid!
00:33:26I ruined your party.
00:33:32Huh.
00:33:33It's 1900. We made it.
00:33:37Come.
00:33:46Come.
00:33:55Come to me.
00:34:04Come.
00:34:10Come.
00:34:16Oh!
00:34:21There's it for nothing, don't be a Cavalier.
00:34:26There's an obsession, that deep love is special.
00:34:33How is it that they live with such harmony, the billions of stars, how is it that they
00:34:50live in such harmony, the billions of stars, when most men can barely go a minute without
00:34:57declaring war in their own minds?
00:35:03Something wrong, Lyssa?
00:35:07No.
00:35:12Yes.
00:35:16Thomas Aquinas.
00:35:24Why did you take me to the witch's place?
00:35:28What?
00:35:29I was asking Sophia.
00:35:33She's taken a call, I think.
00:35:35Check your phone.
00:35:36What?
00:35:37Your phone.
00:35:39It's...
00:35:39bu...
00:35:40buzzing.
00:35:44Again, same place.
00:35:48Again, same place.
00:35:51Ready?
00:35:53No.
00:35:55No.
00:35:56Tune it down a whole step.
00:35:59What?
00:36:01Tune it down a whole step, A minor.
00:36:05All right, let me work that out.
00:36:07Beards to the floor, waiting for you to work it out, Larry!
00:36:12You tune it down a whole step!
00:36:19Everyone, tune it down a whole step.
00:36:23Lay it down without me, Sam.
00:36:26For our ears, not theirs.
00:36:33He's an asshole.
00:36:37You suck.
00:36:39I suck.
00:36:41Everyone sucks.
00:36:42Singer sucks.
00:36:46Alive.
00:36:54Is this messing you up?
00:36:56I can stop.
00:36:57I can totally stop.
00:36:58Played these parts a million times, man.
00:36:59I'm just...
00:37:02Got that yips.
00:37:04Feel like I'm back in select, letting in grapefruits.
00:37:07You were a terrible boy.
00:37:09That was not good.
00:37:12But you're a total shredder with an axe.
00:37:15And look, everything we've talked about.
00:37:18We're finally making an album that people might actually hear.
00:37:20And it's like...
00:37:23It's really good.
00:37:24It's good, yeah?
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:27Put your mitts on.
00:37:29One take.
00:37:32And then rest.
00:37:37And then we played out scenes as if she had lived.
00:37:43Um...
00:37:44Was alive.
00:37:47But now it's all blurred.
00:37:50And I called it Claudia.
00:37:53But she's herself, too, now, I think.
00:37:58And I know it's not real.
00:38:02But is it?
00:38:03Is it her?
00:38:04Come back to me?
00:38:05I can't tell and whole nights go by where I don't, uh, want to be able to tell.
00:38:12And I just, um...
00:38:15Is it her?
00:38:19Can you go in there and tell me if it's her?
00:38:31I was shut in the streets when you didn't call.
00:38:35Selfish bastard.
00:38:37Anybody spends five minutes with me, they know that.
00:38:39I'm...
00:38:40I'm...
00:38:40I know you're gonna bring it up.
00:38:42I don't have an answer for it.
00:38:46I'm in the middle of recording my fucking head.
00:38:52I'm in the middle of recording my fucking head.
00:38:54Okay.
00:39:08Chicken and waffle special.
00:39:10I wouldn't order it, but I gotta say it.
00:39:12Get you a water.
00:39:21You.
00:39:27The internet says you're dead.
00:39:28Huh.
00:39:30Then I must be.
00:39:34You know he has been there for an hour.
00:39:39Stop performing.
00:39:42What does he order when he comes here?
00:39:46I bring him anything about to go bad.
00:39:50What the cook's pushing.
00:39:51Then I'll have that.
00:39:54The center's like kayeran.
00:39:57My face is the one in the back.
00:40:00It's like a kereiahe.
00:40:01Don't you like that.
00:40:01Mmmmm comum.
00:40:10It's fun.
00:40:21You brought the good tea we can?
00:40:29I had some debts to pay off so is that beneficial going in both and if he's paying you what
00:40:34I
00:40:34imagine he's paying you why do you still work here well if things with us get too freaky I
00:40:38just pick up a shift or two to get some real real back into my life he's bringing you in
00:40:50this now
00:40:51that's his next thing is it we're gonna be a family I'll call theirs
00:41:00find someone else to swing he's the one coming around here doing all this with me
00:41:04I just wait for the bell to ring or the blowers of us or the hundred takes the day
00:41:09you're hurting him I'm hurting Louie
00:41:20I look like her I look just like her don't I your gait suggests a hip injury that she

00:41:37yeah
00:41:44yeah
00:41:45yeah
00:41:45yeah
00:41:46yeah
00:42:05It's not her. It's not anything like her.
00:42:11The eyes.
00:42:12Yeah, the eyes. No spark, right?
00:42:18Don't see this person again.
00:42:23And next time someone tries to murder me, pick up the phone.
00:42:25And next time someone tries to murder me.
00:42:55And next time someone tries to murder me, pick up the phone.
00:43:52And next time someone tries to murder me.
00:44:18And next time someone tries to murder me.
00:44:25And next time someone tries to murder me.
00:44:55No one ever gets to keep my smile.
00:45:00But you can't peel it off me like one of your souvenirs.
00:45:10Even when we parted ways, you never turn, never turn your gaze.
00:45:18And I can still, I can still hear you say.
00:45:23Don't break that stare.
00:45:27I'm burning in your mirror tonight.
00:45:32Oh, don't you dare call it yearning.
00:45:37It's the fear that I'm right.
00:45:39Don't you try to forget all the things you regret.
00:45:46Like the ashes you spread.
00:45:50Till you had nothing left.
00:45:54Of those stained glass.
00:45:59Stained glass.
00:46:04Oh.
00:46:13This does, this doesn't sound like us.
00:46:16How's it fit with longface?
00:46:19It doesn't.
00:46:20Longface is not going on the album.
00:46:22That's uh, that's our calling card.
00:46:25And if that's the new sound then neither is

00:53:33are
00:53:39and
00:53:57Listen to tracks
00:53:59from the Vampire List ad
00:54:00wherever you stream music
00:54:03Taylor and Travis
00:54:05Have you set the date yet?
00:54:08Be damned
00:54:15You reached out to the worst kind of witch
00:54:17She is not like the rest
00:54:20Our man's in town
00:54:22He's going to try to disrupt things
00:54:2550,000 of us out in the woods together
00:54:27What can go on?
00:54:34Guests at my deathbed
00:54:36We are making an album about my life
00:54:39Which has been a three-century train wreck
00:54:42We are here to pull the plug
00:54:44Have some reverence
00:54:46Kill me savagely
00:54:55I would leave this coffin only once in four months
00:54:58I would butcher the band
00:55:00For bloom and marbling
00:55:02And stop at nothing
00:55:03Until an album worthy of the long lurid life
00:55:06Of Les Dades de Liencourt
00:55:07Burned into elegiac audio formats
00:55:10So episode five, they're recording the album
00:55:12Big Bad Wolf vocals take one
00:55:15His mother comes back to him and says
00:55:17Hey, why don't you be this other thing?
00:55:19She needs him to create a song
00:55:21That will speak to all the vampires lurking
00:55:26In all the shadows of the world
00:55:28And so he makes the album to be this thing for her
00:55:31But of course he's really fastidious and obsessive artist
00:55:35So he can't really help but take complete control over it
00:55:38And get lost in the creative process
00:55:40But throughout that process
00:55:41He's niggled by these memories
00:55:44That he can't quite reconcile with
00:55:46Why did she take me to the burning
00:55:48Of these teenage girls when I was a child?
00:55:52Why did she touch me in those inappropriate places
00:55:54When I was, you know, wounded?
00:55:57You were a terrible mother
00:55:59I was
00:56:00In the moment, they definitely do find it hard
00:56:04To stop their complicated relationship
00:56:09You need me now
00:56:11I do
00:56:18I missed you, brother
00:56:20I missed you too, sis
00:56:24Both of you
00:56:25This show is really funny
00:56:27Intentionally so
00:56:28I wish we could stay longer
00:56:30But you know Claudia
00:56:32Always go, go, go
00:56:34There's lots of very dark humor
00:56:36But also a kind of, like, silly, fun humor
00:56:40And then Off Off Broadway
00:56:41Madeleine is definitely very funny
00:56:43Took a downtown
00:56:44To the cubby hall
00:56:45Sucked a dry
00:56:45In a gans of water
00:56:46And shoved it down
00:56:47To the laundry chute
00:56:48She's good
00:56:49Beautifully played
00:56:50But it's also very twisted
00:56:52It was so weird
00:56:53But, like, so comedically written
00:56:55That it was hard to not have fun with it
00:56:58Something about theatre kids makes me moody
00:57:00And I think Louis being on the other side of the table
00:57:03Just made it that bit weirder
00:57:07I think at one point
00:57:08I was literally sitting in my chair
00:57:09Like, and I was off camera
00:57:11And I was, like, sitting there
00:57:12Like, just make it stop
00:57:17I know, Jacob
00:57:18It was very
00:57:19I think it was uncomfortable for everybody
00:57:21Because, obviously, we know the circumstance behind it
00:57:24But for Regina
00:57:25It's just another day on the job
00:57:27Holding hands for now
00:57:29Um
00:57:31I'm sorry
00:57:32You don't, you don't have to do the accent
00:57:34Oh, did you?
00:57:35Let's just, uh, let's get out of here
00:57:45Can you go in there
00:57:48And tell me
00:57:50If it's her
00:57:53I was shut in the streets
00:57:54When you didn't call
00:57:56Selfish bastard
00:57:57There's a lot of things that keep haunting Lestart
00:57:59And then he meets Regina
00:58:02I look like her
00:58:04I look just like her, don't I?
00:58:07And that instigates a change in his music
00:58:10The day you were born
00:58:14I was shaking like a leaf
00:58:17On an old oak tree
00:58:22That means he comes back
00:58:24And he writes a song about her
00:58:25That is more
00:58:28Poppy
00:58:28And more truthful
00:58:31And more pared back
00:58:32And more honest
00:58:33Than he's ever done before
00:58:35And he presents that to the band
00:58:36And says, I think this is the sound
00:58:37I think this is what we're doing now
00:58:39So follow Larry to a better life
00:58:43We're finishing the album
00:58:45He no longer is trying to present himself
00:58:49And he's just being himself
00:58:50With his music
00:58:53Don't break that stair
00:58:55I'm burning
00:58:57In your mirror tonight
00:59:00Oh, don't you dare call it
00:59:03Yearning
00:59:05It's the fear that I'm right
00:59:08Don't you try to forget
00:59:11All the things you regret
00:59:15Like the ashes you spread
00:59:19Till you had nothing left
00:59:22Of those stung
00:59:25I think if he wrote Stained Glass Eyes
00:59:28At the very start of the tour
00:59:30And he played it to himself
00:59:31I don't think he would have taken it seriously
00:59:33But I think he's had to get to this point
00:59:35Where he could write something
00:59:37Very emotional
00:59:38And very raw
00:59:39To realize that his music
00:59:42Is a personal conduit
00:59:44Of his expression
00:59:45As an individual
00:59:46And you're just gonna let Marie record
00:59:47The entire album
00:59:49Instruments play like metaphors
00:59:56We're about to shoot at Katra
00:59:58And in fact our very last day
01:00:00And so a high anticipation
01:00:02Of just looking at her
01:00:05As Akasha
01:00:06And how she's going to play it
01:00:08We're rolling
01:00:08Whenever you're ready, Jared
01:00:10God
01:00:13It's a wonderful set
01:00:14It's kind of like this
01:00:16Underground storage unit
01:00:18With all of these pieces of history
01:00:20That Marius has collected
01:00:21To try and keep her entertained
01:00:23It's been very fun to film in
01:00:26As a set
01:00:27And it's been a remarkable setting
01:00:30For the introduction of Akasha
01:00:31To the series
01:00:32It's alive
01:00:33Very alive
01:00:34This season played by Sheila Thiem
01:00:37Who is an extraordinary actor
01:00:40She is the seed
01:00:41And you are her keeper
01:00:43Marius is there
01:00:44Trying to keep her controlled
01:00:46And Lestat being Lestat
01:00:48Is much more about like
01:00:49Let's push and see what happens
01:00:51He's also very lonely
01:00:53A liver action ice cream dishwasher
01:00:56Anne Rice has Akasha
01:00:58Awoken by Lestat
01:01:00But we actually have Lestat
01:01:02Stay within her crypt
01:01:03For, you know, ten years
01:01:05In the book
01:01:06He's there for a couple of days
01:01:07He puts on concerts for her
01:01:12Where is God?
01:01:15And she wakes up
01:01:23And then he's got the blood of Akasha
01:01:25In him
01:01:25And then the way that
01:01:26That manifests in him
01:01:27Is obviously he's like flying
01:01:28And I was up on that rig
01:01:31Hold on there
01:01:32And it gives you some articulation
01:01:35Yeah, great
01:01:36It was a really fun thing to do actually
01:01:39That's so real
01:01:40Oh my God
01:01:40I told you, man
01:01:41Because I was upside down
01:01:43And, you know, I was talking to Ron
01:01:44He was like
01:01:44What does it feel like
01:01:45To have the blood of Akasha
01:01:46You know, cursing through you
01:01:47So we were kind of like
01:01:48Doing these jolting movements
01:01:49And then they dropped me
01:01:50Which was like
01:01:51A proper ten foot free fall
01:01:53Wow
01:01:53That's so much fun
01:01:55What is this for?
01:01:57What should the men do with it
01:01:59If not to answer?
01:02:03Sheila is phenomenal
01:02:05And extraordinary as Akasha
01:02:07And I, I, I, I am the answer!
01:02:50I, I am the answer!
01:02:50You
