00:30Is it true you were a stutterer as a child?
00:32His name's Raglan James.
00:34Mr. Malloy would like to stay alive, Rashid.
00:37Got me wondering what it'd be like.
00:38Ride with others, huntin' a pack.
00:40Mmm, the Tooth Team, the Fang. 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.
00:55Fledgling.
00:56Lover.
00:57Mother.
01:01You are listening to The Failures.
01:04Album 8, Side A.
01:07If you're still listening after the...
01:10Eid 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 Eid Epiphany.
01:26You've weathered the Freudian storms.
01:28And yes, that boat is a penis.
01:31And yes, that ocean is my mother's vagina.
01:34Kiss.
01:35Grope.
01:36Aftercare.
01:37Onward.
01:40Picture Auvergne, France, 1772.
01:44Picture the dingy seat of the Liencourt family at the fag end of a thousand years of aristocratic decline.
01:51Picture my five dead siblings.
01:54Aristide.
01:55Marie.
01:55Jules.
01:56Unbaptized.
01:57And Faustin.
01:58Garden norms guarding the undulating domestic bliss of our great heart.
02:03The boy possesses an ability to envision the unseen.
02:06The 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?
02:14The suit line cassock?
02:15Nothing, Monseigneur.
02:17I see goodness in your son.
02:19Are you a good boy, Lestat?
02:24Answer your brother, Lestat.
02:29I...
02:32Don't.
02:33Don't.
02:37Don't.
02:37Don't.
02:38Don't.
02:39No, he doesn't, no?
02:40My son de Icabin, the next Pope.
02:43We can mend his affliction.
02:45Pope?
02:46Has befitted his records, Tatiana.
02:48Titles.
02:49One of the blood-soaked fields of France.
02:51Y'altro, Nianovinti.
02:54Tu n'en as vinto propria.
02:57Si je compiègne, Barlov coûtera!
03:01In time, he would learn to find consolation in philosophy.
03:05What is the course of studies at Haute Loire?
03:07Aristotle.
03:08Erasmus.
03:10I...
03:10asked...
03:11the question.
03:15Aristotle.
03:16Erasmus.
03:18Aquinas.
03:20Cicero.
03:21Alberti.
03:23Bruno.
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 us 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, um...
04:06impressed in just...
04:09service.
04:10She sacrificed her youth, squandered her intellect,
04:13and paid a midwife to nick her in the womb so he couldn't humiliate her anymore.
04:17All does act in the square like a beggar.
04:20Like an actor.
04:21Better a gong farmer than an actor.
04:23Better an actor than a cabbage.
04:25Look up from your book when you speak to our father, huh?
04:28Cabbage.
04:29Cabbage.
04:31Cabbage.
04:32He was our little joke, the cabbages.
04:34The cabbage heads with cabbage brains and cabbage wives all speaking cabbage.
04:39Well, at least there would have been some honor in it.
04:42The Lyoncourt name covered in his shit again.
04:45Love nothing, do nothing, change nothing.
04:47Sit and supper.
04:49Am I suffering?
04:50The Grégoire?
04:51A question for the philosophers.
04:54Can a cabbage suffer?
05:02One hour on stage.
05:05An hour of not displace its dampness and dimness in your Pocomach the wife.
05:13And Grégoire jamming his cock into servant girls like he's saucing pork.
05:19Cabbage!
05:20And the start speaks!
05:22He speaks, a verse with players in a wagon!
05:26Cabbage!
05:28Say Cabbage one more goddamn time.
05:36Break his legs!
05:41You will hunt the land as we do!
05:44You will marry your world and have children who will shame you
05:47the way you have shamed me!
05:52I'm real!
05:56I'm real!
05:58I'm real!
05:59I'm real!
06:00I'm real!
06:01She had a cold beauty, like snow behind a thick, distorting wall of glass.
06:07And I grew hard by example.
06:10I'm real!
06:12But now the wolves, they are taking out sheep, so bold now they have lost their fear!
06:16Another one stolen today, a puddle of carts where sheep used to be!
06:21They will snatch a babe soon!
06:23There 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, from here to Versailles!
06:34What does he want us to do about it, huh?
06:35Nothing!
06:36Sit there on your titles while you fumble to find your pricks from under the awning of your stomachs!
06:47Peace!
06:49Oh!
06:51Keep cuffing, huh?
06:52Seeding the nothings you had, bearing more nothings will inherit nothing!
07:00Not funny, brother!
07:01Put the gun down, Lestat!
07:04She's with child!
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.
07:21Go on!
07:22There's nothing more we can do here!
07:25But be men!
07:34She meant to kill me with the challenge.
07:38Better a quick end than watch me surrender another decade.
07:42Watch me join the cabbages.
07:57And what was this life?
08:02The good in me lost at the monastery.
08:05My sense of wonder abandoned in a travelling player's wagon.
08:10Go!
08:11Brush them out!
08:24I wanted the wolves to come.
08:32Until I didn't.
08:54I refuse this food, I refuse this care you killed five
09:03By yourself
09:06Eight
09:09Not five
09:14To rebuke my horse
09:20My dog
09:27Eight
09:33Do the wolves look worse?
09:40There's a mob came yesterday, again tonight
09:44They wish to worship you
09:47Your father and your brothers bent
09:51With shame
09:53Come down
09:55You'll enjoy it
09:57From room to room
10:01Slaughtering the three of them
10:05That's what I dream when I killed the wolves mother
10:13You know what I dream?
10:20I dream
10:21I'm drinking wine
10:23So drunk
10:25I stream
10:26Of my clothes and bait in the mountain
10:29Stream
10:32Megan
10:36I go into the village
10:38I go into the village
10:39Into the inn
10:41And I take into bed
10:47Any man that come
10:55Crude men, big men, old men
11:02Boys
11:03Taking them
11:05One after another
11:08And feeling
11:09Some magnificent release in it
11:14No doubt
11:16Of
11:17Your father
11:20Or your brothers
11:21My eyes
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?
12:07Finish it, Pea, as a mob to bless.
12:14Mother!
12:18Mother!
12:22Mother!
12:28Mother!
12:31Mother!
12:40Mother!
12:40Mother!
12:42Mother!
12:46Mother!
12:46I saw them too.
12:48Social media coordinator.
12:52Check your contract. It says cocaine whore bucket.
12:56I know, but I saw a lawyer.
12:58I saw a guy kill another guy.
13:00Vampire!
13:01Right in front of me!
13:02What the Killjoy second guitarist may or may not have witnessed was one vampire acting in self-defense.
13:09But he signed a unilateral, which is a one-way street that I control.
13:13Suitcase bomb!
13:15Where are we?
13:17Buckeye State.
13:17Do you have the fire gift?
13:21Oh my God!
13:23This again?
13:26How did I get you?
13:28Sofia.
13:29Forgotten my name already.
13:32Oh. Hello. Sofia.
13:37I'm sorry.
13:38Are 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 that you've been put us
13:44through for the past year and a half?
13:45On top of the fact that you can fly?
13:46And you didn't feel like that was at all important to tell us?
13:48Something's on fire!
13:48But we do not!
13:49We got like a shit ton list of questions, man!
13:52But what else can you do?
13:53Mm-hmm.
13:54Yeah, like where do you put the body?
13:55Don't answer that!
13:56And when was the last time you talked to our mom?
13:58I could have hung it up there too, I guess, but we sounded really good in Detroit.
14:03And there were another thousand beautifully unwell to serve in Ohio, and she had come a great distance to comfort
14:10me.
14:11And, um, you are being very patient regarding the vampire incest factor, and I do appreciate it.
14:18Do you guys play baseball?
14:19Yeah!
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.
14:28One at a time!
14:31Great!
14:31I'm a little...
14:35I'm the killer!
14:37I'm a lonely one!
14:39I'm the chicken I've obviously been telling you to run!
14:43I'm the human channel!
14:45I'm the last of the life!
14:47I'm the past and future, the last of the SUSTAGES, the crew and DER!
14:51Where the rock and roll is!
14:53Where they getting paid!
14:55Where the hope of me, love, and the vision of love
14:58Where the stupid rhyme
15:00Bang, bang
15:02Bang, bang
15:04Bang, bang
15:05Bang, bang
15:06I'll fall down
15:10Burn the ground
15:14I'll fall down
15:17Burn the
15:19Bang, bang
15:22Bang, bang
15:25Bang, bang
15:26Bang, bang
15:29Bang, bang
15:31Fabulous. Moving on.
15:36Do you kill people?
15:39I sleep, I think, I sing, I contribute to local cars
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 Farid for
15:55Yeah, that's also why you have a body double
15:57You tell them
15:59He gets most of his blood from the farm
16:02Most?
16:02The farm?
16:03It'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 rung bingo games
16:12Cash only, no questions
16:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, so you're a vampire too?
16:16Three of us?
16:17Nine of you
16:18Out and proud
16:20Three?
16:21Three?
16:22Three?
16:22My name's Daniel
16:23I'm a Taurus on the cusp of Aries
16:26I prefer AB negative
16:28Who's your maker?
16:29Have you tried RH? No
16:31Only 45 people on the planet possess it
16:35Only nine active donors
16:37Tell me all about it, babe
16:40Hey, hey, hey, this isn't a goddamn joke
16:42BAND 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, have you ever seen me in the latter day?
17:00Armand is a dead one
17:01Did you help me hose off my Mustang at a self-service car wash in Spokane?
17:06You said that was a DEAR
17:07As 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 gonna 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, it'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
17:29The confessional nature of the songs
17:31Performing for mortals
17:32The insights into vampiric desires
17:33It'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
17:41Sorry, what the fuck is Akasha?
17:42What is important and what we should be celebrating
17:44Is what we did on stage
17:46Earlier songs about this guy, Lewis
17:47Last night
17:47We were raw and nasty
17:51Transcendent
17:51Excuse me?
17:52And I lost you
17:53You know
17:55It's Louis
17:56It's Louis
17:57Not Louis
17:57And you
17:58You were referring to
17:59Could be one of two dozen paramours
18:01At Pompeii
18:02Who's that villain sneaking up from behind
18:03With the knife in his hand
18:04And a mouthful of life
18:05We were beyond epic last night
18:06I pulled the knife from my cane
18:07And I held it up to his stops throat
18:09And that is what we are all scared about
18:09I want to stay in bed
18:11Eating black licorice
18:12Is not about sucking Louis' dick
18:13Black licorice
18:14Is about the first kill I made
18:17After Louis and I reconciled
18:19I say
18:19I'll call the cops
18:20I 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
18:36F this
18:37F you
18:38We quit
18:42Come on
18:46Larry
18:47They don't want to speak
18:49But um
18:51Being a vampire
18:52I can tell you what they're thinking
18:54Would you like to know what they're thinking?
18:58Fifteen hundred when we started
18:59Twenty thousand followers now
19:01He killed the sound technician in Denver
19:04That muddied my solos on purpose
19:06And he is glad that I killed him
19:09Except I didn't kill him
19:10I merely fired him, Larry
19:12Fate's entourage
19:13The brooms
19:14The tits
19:15The dime store darlings
19:17Bukkake ice helmet
19:18And four others that are not as good
19:20But just as successful
19:21If I don't hit it now
19:25I'm gonna marry the bum
19:26And have a baby
19:29Thin Lizzy sucks
19:30We'd sound better with one guitar
19:33I don't think that
19:34Yeah, she does
19:35Salamander
19:37Another one of Alex's
19:40Vegan, straight edge, bullshit mood swings
19:43You'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
19:58Not you
20:00You are the best pure musician we have
20:04Other than me
20:05So take your time Alex
20:07Process it as they say
20:10But think thrice before running to the police
20:12Or sharing in one of your anonymous groups
20:16Not if you value your life
20:18Or your brothers
20:23You are listening to The Failures
20:26Album 12, Side B
20:31There's a dearth of privacy on a vampire rock tour
20:34The bus, shared hotel floors
20:36Roadies transporting, coffins, etc.
20:39And as front man
20:40You're encircled by those
20:42Who invariably want something from you
20:43Now my mother, Gabriela Vecci, rest her soul
20:47Was a complicated hang
20:49But my fledgling, the vampress Gabriela
20:52Was anything but
20:54And with the bandit soundcheck
20:56And Yarda playing billiards on the other side of town
20:58She and a less pharmaceutically challenged me
21:00Found an evening to catch up and kill time
21:03And there was simply no one in the garden
21:05More effortless in killing time than her
21:08Why were you in Chicago?
21:10I wasn't
21:11I was glamping in Vucevic
21:15You lied
21:16My maker called for his mama
21:19And I came
21:21And came
21:22And came
21:24Yeah, about that
21:25I know
21:26We really shouldn't
21:28We need to make a pact if you're gonna stay
21:31Up to you
21:32I want you to stay
21:34A pact then
21:37Companionship without the calm
21:39We needn't you lie
21:42Weave a basket and fill it with bullshit
21:47I missed you
21:51We met in Italy, of course
21:53Mmm
21:54The Ambrosian Carnival, of course
21:57Of course
21:58And we wore the same costume, of course
22:00And raced across the Piazza del Duomo
22:03To see who would slap each other first
22:08And then you unmasked me and, well
22:11This face
22:13Yes
22:15I recognized myself, William
22:21Yeah
22:21See, it comes back around again
22:24Hmm
22:27How long are you gonna stay?
22:32I saw you two times last century
22:35It's not an unreasonable question
22:36Long enough
22:39Long enough
22:41Long enough for what?
22:43Long enough to see you sing
22:46For you to show me munchie
22:50Wilmington
22:52Food courts
22:55I want to play cornhole
22:59Rest on the rust belt
23:00All the speed on the floor
23:02All the moist cavities
23:04We scuse me
23:05I want to know this Paisa Grasso
23:07How it hypnotizes my son for a century
23:10We scuse me
23:11We scuse 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
23:26A group of building glass salesmen
23:28Were closing a sale of a substantial amount of glass
23:31Sold to a company in yet-to-be-tariffed Germany
23:35There was to be ritualized Saturnalia in both countries that night
23:38And we invited ourselves to the one closest to
23:42A study commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control
23:46On rates of depression in mid-size American cities
23:48Ranked Toledo number two on their list
23:51Heads her down in Toledo
23:53Which makes it a fine city to travel via the cloud gift
23:56Which was Gabriela's preferred mode of murder transport
24:00Why take so many cars?
24:03Triumph is a dark road, Sofia
24:05And each man must find his own exit
24:08The worst reveal themselves through time in Negrone
24:11Nine at the indoor golfing range
24:14Seven eating seafood towers at the Choth House
24:17Five crapped out at the casino
24:20And then there were three
24:23All tippling by the time we plummeted back down the backside of Chubbs
24:27A bar contetta blocks off the Momay River
24:30Our hunger propelled us inside
24:33And we watched as the remaining items on the menu
24:36Marinated themselves in the pole-ravaged sweat of sex-positive, sex-cynical, sex-stipulated dancing
24:45They had closed their deal
24:47And we would close ours
24:49We watched them
24:51Watched them
24:51And only sometime later would I understand we were being watched as well
24:57By those who were always there
25:00A curious tangle of hunters and hunted
25:03That warm spring night
25:07And then it happened again
25:09And then it happened again
25:12Are you a good boy, Lestat?
25:15An unamusing muse
25:17Was 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?
25:32Do you work here?
25:35Go on, what about the...
25:37Oh, that...
25:40Lover?
25:41Where are you?
25:42I'm with Sophia
25:43I 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, we have a pact now
25:52What?
25:54Who's Thomas Pitt?
25:55The owner of the hotel you defiled in Detroit
25:57His lawyer says he's a fan
25:59And would appreciate an exclusive fan experience
26:02Do I have to fuck him?
26:03Yes
26:04Call an Uber, go to coffin
26:07Fine
26:10Thank you, Carol
26:11Uh, do you work here?
26:12Wait, that...
26:13Did I ever ask that?
26:19You really have to understand
26:20The vampire Gabriella when she wasn't free-soloing a mountain
26:24Or stirring a singing bowl in some dreary village
26:28It was...
26:30Good company
26:32Even as you're being out-monstered, out-bantered
26:35It feels...
26:37Good
26:37Like watching blood down a staircase feels good
26:41Or finding a party invitation in your victim's pocket
26:44Well...
26:46I mean, that doesn't happen anymore to empty invites
26:48But...
26:48Being with Gabriella is like...
26:54Like...
26:55Like...
26:56Like...
26:59Ah...
27:00Predatory spirit
27:01A good candidate for the great conversion
27:08Uh...
27:09Randy...
27:10Last man standing
27:12Loves glass
27:14Also knows somewhere inside that he does not love glass
27:22Oh...
27:25I'm starving
27:27I know
27:29Shall we take them both now?
27:31One each
27:33I want to share mine with you
27:36So...
27:37We wait
27:37We wait
27:42Do you have a lot of sex?
27:48I'm a rock star, Mal
27:51Of course
27:52Do you like it?
27:56Like you do the blood?
28:00It's never like the blood
28:07We couldn't help ourselves
28:12We rode the edges of our pact
28:15We rode the edges of our pact
28:19Hi...
28:19Hey, just leaving the job house
28:21You okay to drive?
28:22Yeah, yeah, of course
28:23Daddy!
28:24Hey, kiddo
28:25What are you doing up?
28:26I can't sleep
28:28Back to bed
28:29Listen to your mom
28:30I'll give you a kiss when I get home
28:31Okay
28:32I love you
28:34Okay, bye
28:36Boop boop
28:37You are listening to The Failures
28:40Album 15
28:41Side B
28:43Estimates on the structural damage are still being calculated
28:46So the figure we've put forth was based on comps the engaged architectural firm provided
28:51Comps? For a hotel hallway massacre?
28:53Comparable damages to comparable spaces
28:54I'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
29:02The clean-up numbers in this case are mostly going towards silencing witnesses
29:04This is not my first clown rodeo, Grace Jones and Gucci
29:07And Salt received his compliment
29:08Anyone who won't take a couple thousand in an envelope
29:10You guys do the mind-wipey thing
29:12So you can 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
29:21You stole my personal physician
29:22You hired my biographer
29:24You trashed my hotel
29:26The Detroit Coven Traster Hotel
29:27The Detroit Coven Traster Hotel
29:28I've heard the song
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 Molloy who wrote it
29:46Or the Tala Mosca who published it
29:48And why are you employing Sam Barkley after Paris?
29:51He's paying down his debts
29:52Oh, bottom line, Louie
29:54I'll sentence negotiate
29:55Sam didn't get on a boat
29:56We're here to litigate
29:57Sam didn't memorize
29:58Not
29:59He got to direct a play
30:00And then come home canoodling with one of its victims
30:02Did he?
30:03Who did that, I wonder?
30:04Repeat the name
30:05That would be Armand
30:08Armand
30:09Santiago, 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 him?
30:19We did?
30:19Did you take turns driving across the Golden Gate Bridge
30:22Who held the wheel harder?
30:23Writing numbers on each other's backs
30:25And pretending to guess them wrong
30:27I bet
30:28I bet
30:29I bet
30:30Come on
30:30Very specific detail to pluck out of thin air
30:33What at the foot?
30:35Are we taking minutes of this?
30:37I 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?
30:50He's not my companion
30:51He's a great lay
30:52And emotionally unavailable
30:54You doing her?
30:56Yes
30:57Petite, surprising
30:59And can perform what most metropolitan draining systems can only dream of
31:04Okay
31:06Are you enjoying this exclusive fan experience?
31:09I have
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?
31:27Forty-five percent
31:28Forty-five?
31:29My bad
31:30I'll look into it
31:32I was afraid
31:33I was afraid
31:34I was afraid
31:39I was afraid
31:39I was afraid
31:40I was afraid
31:41Oh
31:43Oh
31:44Oh
31:44Oh
31:44Oh
31:44Oh
31:44Oh
31:44Oh
31:44Oh
31:45Oh
31:48Oh
31:53Oh
31:54Oh
31:54Hey, that's what they are
31:56Thank you
31:56He's coming
31:57Sounding a little thin without Alex
31:58Larry likes it
32:00Everyone else is draped
32:03The Stott and his hostage squad
32:06Get me a shot of his latest friend-o there
32:09Copy that? Where?
32:12The Cougar Milanese in the crowd.
32:15Got her.
32:16No, no, no, not her.
32:17The one standing in judgment of the Buckeye God.
32:21The one from the bunch?
32:22Yeah.
32:24Okay, now go up from her to the balcony and get me a frame of pretty green eyes again.
32:29Okay, got him.
32:31Who is this guy?
32:32He is the story.
32:41Mr. DeLock, what brings you to Toledo?
32:45You're looking younger, Daniel.
32:48Bonacites and Manjaro.
32:51I'm still pissed.
32:54Want to brawl it out in the alley after the show?
32:59Alright.
33:13It's been a while.
33:14The fuck are you going here?
33:16Oh.
33:40Oh, I tried to ride you.
33:46The prettiest song in the world.
33:52But I got distracted.
33:57All I did is end up.
34:13Oh, why?
34:15Why?
34:16Why do I have to be here?
34:22The pain is too much.
34:27You're still?
34:29We're here.
34:34He's justå¹».
34:35Call comes in from some Hollywood asshole asking me whether I want to write the movie version of the book.
34:40I'm like, blow me, lose my number.
34:43Calls me back a week later, what about a documentary?
34:46I'm like, Louis won't even talk to me.
34:48He says, not Louis, Lestat, the white guy.
34:51Old friends talking around the small betrayal that kept them apart. And I know what you're thinking. He wasn't there.
34:58But this is my hour, and when tertiary figures appear in it, I will be speaking for them. Daniel, Mr.
35:05Dulac, anyone I feel is important towards understanding how I woke the Queen and unleashed her wrath upon the world.
35:12I am everywhere, and rest assured, it comes with less whining than their attempt. Did it happen in a bar
35:20with a view? I say it did.
35:22How are you taken to the gift? You endure it? I'm alright. Vampire loneliness, I get it now. I'm picking
35:31up bowling, and I have this weird thing that happens where suddenly everyone around me disappears, like the raptures come.
35:42And I, you know, I feel him. Armand?
35:53Yeah. That happened with you and Lestat? No.
36:01Oh. Sounds 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
36:21of 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. And not the lying to myself kind of fucking liar.
36:50Liar. The writing's good. Hard read.
36:56Yeah, he 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.
37:17Hung up. Hung up. Probably the right move.
37:24I saw Claudia. In New York. Coming up the subway.
37:30Claudia?
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.
37:42Happened to be going in the same direction, kind of, sort of.
37:47I saw her walk into a diner. I couldn't help myself.
37:54I go inside. I grab a booth. It's not her. She's not there.
38:03Chased the ghost, I guess.
38:07I order a donut and coffee, you know, just to pass.
38:12Then she comes out the back. In a uniform.
38:17It's not her.
38:20This one's got a different walk.
38:24Accent.
38:28I'm not in this section.
38:31I walked out.
38:35Don't eat me for this, Louie.
38:38My, uh, my producers want to meet you.
38:45Rashid?
38:47Rashid, Daniel, Molloy, Raglan, James, Louis, DuPont, Dulac.
38:51We all worked together in Dubai.
38:54Virgil Arab.
38:56Now Haven Med Senior Care Headquarters.
39:00Said I'd introduce you.
39:02They got me on retainer.
39:05Not cool, Daniel.
39:09We all agreed about this coming.
39:29What does he know about me?
39:31What did you tell him?
39:33That you died in 1794, of consumption.
39:37Mercy saved you from the peasants' revenge on our family.
39:41I only ever saw the aftermath.
39:45Your slit throat slow to heal.
39:48Your rotting roof and pathrope stuck to skin.
39:53An aloof poetry behind the eyes.
39:58Uncanny beauty.
40:03Unelusiveness.
40:04Come, go, yes, no.
40:08I see why you gave him a daughter.
40:11I see why you took her back.
40:16And we were having such a good night, Sophia.
40:19And now we're not.
40:22Forget her, Sally.
40:34Your father's tongue.
40:36It's my tongue.
40:38In Italy, never made a boat leer.
40:43Ainsi qu'une fontaine au rythmique sando.
40:48Je l'entends bien qu'il coule avec un l'homme au mur.
40:53Mais je me t'ai en vain pour trouver les blessures.
40:56Yeah, dadada, dadada, dadada
41:03Yeah, dadada
41:16Atraver la cité quand on dans un choclo
41:20Ils inventent, transforment les bevets en élo
41:25Désenterrent la soif de chaque lieture
41:28Et partout que le monde, au rouge de la nature
41:34We should head home to the tower
41:39The night is young, we travel so fast
41:42We could be there in an hour
41:44Yeah, I'm on there
41:54Je demandais souvent de dévacatie
41:59D'en admire pour un jour le terreur qui m'a mis
42:08Le vin rendait plus clair et l'oreille plus fin
42:18Je cherchais dans l'amour un sommet oublié
42:27Mais l'amour n'est pour moi comme à de la de guille
42:33Vait pour donner à boire, à zégrouer l'huile
42:38Mais l'amour n'est pour moi comme à de la de guille
42:44Vait pour donner à boire, à zégrouer l'huile
42:51Jérémy
42:57Jérémy
43:03Jérémy
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.
43:41At some point in your privileged family tree is the thing we are discussing now.
43:47And familiar relations were not a stand-alone crime in the 18th century, and she was dying
43:54when she came to see me.
43:57Fuck it.
43:58It's different for vampires, that's it.
44:01Distribution of fentanyl for half of Michigan, operation of an unsanctioned and unsanitary
44:07farm from their home, and in a surprising labor of ambition, managed to take down the miso
44:13power grid the other night, not the pneumatic tube the upper floor wants to receive.
44:18So real Rashid is really Rashid?
44:20That's his actual name?
44:21Ah.
44:23I emphasize the first syllable, Rashid.
44:27Rashid.
44:27Do you have a preference?
44:29No.
44:31No.
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.
44:39And I knew that already.
44:40They tried to decapitate your love.
44:43What's the ask, Mr. James?
44:47No.
44:48We 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?
45:18How many in Dubai, Rashid?
45:20Thirty-one.
45:20Thirty-one?
45:21Thirty-two if you count Agent Talbot.
45:24No great loss.
45:25None of us like too much.
45:26I only kill those who come for me first.
45:28The 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.
45:42Went by a different name then.
45:44His name was Bruce.
45:50Bruce.
45:53I believe your Claudia spent a few nights with him once.
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.
46:18Nicolas D'Enfant.
46:20That's not.
46:21What are you doing in Paris?
46:22Give me a million more screams.
46:28Your mother?
46:33I want you to lie enough to give it to me.
46:42How did I get here?
46:43Sofia.
46:44Sofia.
46:46Forgotten my name already?
46:48Hello.
46:50Sofia.
46:54Within this context of the failures, the first big failure was the failure of his family
47:00unit.
47:00Are you a good boy, Lestat?
47:05I want to your brother, Lestat.
47:07As a kid, his mother was the only person in this very hostile environment who sort of
47:13showed him any sort of affection.
47:15When they first knew each other as humans and Gabriella was Lestat's mother 300 years
47:21ago, they lived in a situation 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!
47:51She knows that if anybody's going to get up at that table and try to solve this problem
47:56with the wolves, it'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 going to do something.
48:11I'm going to make something of my life, and I'm going to go out and kill them, even if
48:14I die.
48:23When Lestat kills the wolves, he's 30 years old, and in Gabriella's mind, he's been at
48:30home 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, and then that's given him enough impotence
48:44to get out and go and do something.
48:46He goes to Paris, turns into a vampire, his mom dying, turns his mom into a vampire.
48:57Once Gabriella was turned into a vampire, they both want to go back and kill them, and
49:01now they can.
49:09She can now live the life she's always wanted to live, and 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, or certainly the only time in her
49:31life that she has had autonomy and power.
49:35Do you have a lot of sex?
49:38Of course.
49:39Do you like it like 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, and I mean, they're 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.
49:56It's like that you know me, who I really am, you know where I came from, you know what my
49:59fundamental drive is, and you remember me as a human being before I was this other thing.
50:06So they're deeply connected, and it's toxic, but you know, everything's toxic in the vampire world.
50:25You stole my personal physician.
50:27You trashed my hotel.
50:29I didn't know you're a techie hotel.
50:30The Detroit Coven trashed your hotel.
50:32I've heard the song.
50:32The song's not about you.
50:34It feels like a cry for help, so I flew in, because I care.
50:40I think Louie's being a complete troll in that scene.
50:43He gets off on making this that angry, I think, to some extent.
50:47Did you take turns driving across the Golden Gate Bridge?
50:50You held the wheel harder.
50:51Yeah.
50:51Writing numbers on each other's backs and pretending to guess them wrong.
50:54I bet.
50:56I bet!
50:57I bet!
50:57It's a really fun scene.
50:59It's a real attack, and he knows he's gonna rile him up.
51:02It was quite strange to go from being this, like, very strong, scented 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?
51:18Which one will do?
51:19Lemuel doesn't enjoy your music.
51:22As petty as he's been, I think Louie is looking forward to seeing Lestat's show.
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 Gabriella.
51:52It'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?
52:01When 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?
52:07Because he's a very emotive character and he kind of gets totally riled up in his own emotions and he'll
52:12ride them.
52:13So I think that can be a frustrating thing.
52:15I mean, he's obviously doing a very intensely power thrusting version of the song and intentionally ignoring Louie until he
52:24can't anymore.
52:42Oh, I, I tried to write you the prettiest song in the world, but I got distracted.
52:57When he gets the book and he sees that it's all scribbled and scrawled and I think it's when the
53:03guilt 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, will get so angry that it will
53:13freeze time and fly up to him and sing in his face.
53:15Yeah.
53:16Oh, why, why, why, why do I have to feel?
53:25The pain is too much to feel.
53:31I do, I do!
53:34Bye.
