00:00Watch The Vampire Lestat After Dark on AMC Plus or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:30Is it true you were a stutterer as a child?
00:32His 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.
00:41The 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, and yes, that boat is a penis, and yes, that ocean is my mother's vagina.
01:34Kiss, grope, aftercare, onward.
01:39Picture Auvergne, France, 1772.
01:43Picture the dingy seat of the Liencourt family at the fag end of a thousand years of aristocratic decline.
01:50Picture my five dead siblings.
01:54Aristide, Marie, Jules, unbaptized.
01:57And Fustin, garden gnomes guarding the undulating domestic bliss of our great hall.
02:03The boy possesses an ability to envision the unseen, the holy, and he would be well-suited to the monastic
02:09house at Haute-Loire.
02:10And what will you get for this favor?
02:13A silk line cassock?
02:15Nothing, monseigneur.
02:16I see goodness in your son.
02:19Are you a good boy, Lestat?
02:24Answer your brother, Lestat.
02:28I...
02:29I...
02:31Don't...
02:34Don't...
02:35Don't...
02:36Don't...
02:37No, no, he doesn't, no?
02:40My son, the Hiccab, the next Pope.
02:43We can mend his affliction.
02:45Pope?
02:45Let's be fit his wife and station.
02:48Titles.
02:48One on the blood-soaked fields of France.
02:51The other one on the blood-soaked fields of France.
02:57If I count on the blood-soaked fields of France, it will be worth it.
03:01In time, he would learn to find consolation in philosophy.
03:05What is the course of studies at Haute-Loire?
03:07Aristotle.
03:09Erasmus.
03:26I...
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 Vecci.
03:49The Marquis had promised her preservation and delivered her ruin.
03:53On stage with all and all masters.
03:57He wants a taste of the theater.
03:59You tell him to bed one of them.
04:01You don't open the wagon and join up!
04:10She sacrificed her youth, squandered her intellect, and paid a midwife to nick her in the womb so he couldn't
04:16humiliate her anymore.
04:17Who does act in the square like a beggar?
04:20Like an actor!
04:21After a gong farmer, then an actor!
04:23Better an actor, then a cabbage.
04:25Look up from your book when you speak to our father, huh?
04:29Cabbage? Cabbage? Cabbage...
04:45Love nothing, do nothing, change nothing!
04:47Seat and supper!
04:49Am I suffering?
04:50Is it Grégoire?
04:51A question for the philosophers.
04:54Can a cabbage suffer?
05:02One hour on stage.
05:05An hour of not displace.
05:09It's dampness and dimness.
05:11And you're Pocamark the wife.
05:13And Grégoire jamming his cock into servant girls like he's saucing pork.
05:19Cabbage!
05:20And the start speaks!
05:22Cabbage!
05:23Averse with players in a wagon!
05:26Cabbage!
05:27Say cabbage...
05:30One more goddamn time.
05:36Cabbage!
05:37Break his legs!
05:41You will hunt the land as we do!
05:44You will marry your world!
05:45And have children who will shame you!
05:47The way you have shamed me!
06:01She had a cold beauty, like snow behind a thick, distorting wall of glass.
06:07And I grew hard by example.
06:11But now the wolves, they are taking out sheep, so bold now they have lost their fear.
06:16Another one stole it 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.
06:26Magnificent, I...
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!
06:48Oh!
06:51Keep coughing, huh?
06:52Seeding the nothings, you had.
06:54Bearing more nothings will inherit nothing!
07:00Not funny, brother.
07:02Put the gun down, Lestat.
07:04She's with, child!
07:05Hey!
07:06Put the gun down, Lestat.
07:08The wolves will move on!
07:12We ask your protection as our seigneur.
07:16We would like you to share some of your bounty on your table.
07:20Hey!
07:21Go on!
07:23There's nothing more we can do here!
07:25But be men!
07:34She meant to kill me with the challenge.
07:37Better a quick end than watch me surrender another decade.
07:41Watch me join the cabbages.
07:56And what was this life?
08:02The good in me lost at the monastery.
08:04Wait.
08:05My sense of wonder abandoned in a traveling player's wagon.
08:10Go.
08:11Brush them out.
08:24I wanted the wolves to come.
08:32Until I didn't.
08:53I refuse this food.
08:55I refuse this care.
08:59You killed five wolves.
09:02By yourself.
09:05Eight.
09:09Not five.
09:14To robot my horse.
09:20My dog.
09:28Eight.
09:33Do the wolves look worse, sir?
09:40There's a mob came yesterday.
09:43Again tonight.
09:44They wish to worship you.
09:47Your father and your brother's bent.
09:50With shame.
09:53Come down.
09:55You'll enjoy it.
09:57From room to room to room.
10:00From room to room.
10:01Slaughtering the three of them.
10:05That's what I dreamt when I killed the wolves, mother.
10:13You know what I dream?
10:20I'm drinking wine.
10:23I'm drinking wine.
10:24So drunk.
10:25I stream.
10:26Of my clothes and bait in the mountain.
10:29Stream.
10:31Megan.
10:35I go into the village, into the inn, and I take into bed any man that come.
10:55Crude men, big men, old men, boys, taking them one after another, and feeling some magnificent release in it.
11:13No thought of your father, or your brothers, in that world, I belong to no one.
11:34Except for me.
11:49I'm dying.
11:54I won't survive the winter.
11:57Mother?
11:58Mother?
12:07Mother?
12:08Finish it, Bea, as a mob to bless.
12:14Mother?
12:18Mother?
12:22Mother?
12:46I saw them, too.
12:48Oh, and the drug mule contributes a complete sentence.
12:51Social media coordinator.
12:53I'll check your contract.
12:54It says cocaine whore bucket.
12:56I know, but I saw, lawyer, I saw a guy kill another guy right in front of me.
13:02Vampire!
13:02What the Killjoy second guitarist may or may not have witnessed was one vampire acting in self-defense.
13:08But he signed a unilateral, which is a one-way street that I control.
13:12Suitcase bomb.
13:15Where are we?
13:17Buckeye State.
13:18Do you have the fire gift?
13:21Oh, my God.
13:22Oh, my God.
13:24Sick man.
13:26How did I get you?
13:28Sophia.
13:28Sophia.
13:30Forgotten my name already?
13:32Oh.
13:33Hello.
13:34Sophia.
13:37I'm sorry, are we just, like, not going to talk about last night?
13:40Are we not going to talk about, like, the year and a half of weird bullshit that you've
13:44been putting us through for the past, like, year and a half?
13:46And you didn't feel like that was at all important to tell us, but we've been up all day.
13:49We've got, like, a shit-ton list of questions, man.
13:52But what else can you do?
13:53Yeah, like, where do you put the body?
13:55Don't answer that!
13:56When was the last time you talked to our mom?
13:58I could have hung it up there, too, I guess.
14:01But we sounded really good in Detroit.
14:03And there were another thousand beautifully unwell to serve in Ohio.
14:06And she had come a great distance to comfort me.
14:10And, um, you are being very patient regarding the vampire incest factor.
14:17And I do appreciate it.
14:18Do you guys play baseball?
14:19Like the Twilight?
14:20One at a time.
14:21One at a time!
14:24Please!
14:25One at a time.
14:38One at a time.
14:41Tell them you'll run
14:43I'm a living shadow
14:45I'm the last line
14:47I'm the past and the future
14:48The last and the sutures
14:50The crew and death
14:50Where the rock and roll is
14:53Where the guitar
14:55Where the heart of me
14:56Love and the face of the mouth
14:57Where the stupid rhyme
15:00Bang bang
15:02Bang bang
15:03Bang bang
15:06I'll fall down
15:09Burn the ground
15:14Up above
15:17Burn now
15:19Bang bang
15:21Bang bang
15:24Bang bang
15:26Bang bang
15:28Bang bang
15:29Bang bang
15:30Bang bang
15:31Fabulous
15:32Moving on
15:35Do you kill people?
15:39I sleep, I think, I sing, I contribute to local 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 cup.
15:50How many people do you kill at night?
15:52How many people? This is what I have Fareed for.
15:55Oh, yeah, that's also why you have a body double.
15:58You tell them.
15:59He gets most of his blood from the farm.
16:02Most? The 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 addict-run bingo games.
16:12Cash only, no questions.
16:14So you're a vampire, too?
16:16Three of us. Nine of you.
16:19Out and proud.
16:20Three. Three. Three.
16:22Hi, name's Daniel.
16:24I'm a Taurus on the cusp of Ares.
16:26I prefer A, B, negative.
16:28Who's your maker?
16:29Have you tried our age? 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, look, hey, this isn't a goddamn joke.
16:43Man-only meeting!
16:48I understand the panic.
16:50You saw something that you didn't want to acknowledge.
16:54But willful ignorance is sleep in a giant's hand.
16:57Willful ignorance.
16:58Oh, come on.
16:58Have you ever seen me in the light of day?
17:00Come on, does it day one?
17:01Did you help me hose off my Mustang at a self-service car washed in Spokane?
17:06You said that was a deer.
17:06As D-E-A-R, as any KFC night manager has a right to be.
17:10Okay, so you do kill people.
17:12Vampires have been among you your entire lives.
17:15We've been a part of the ecological landscape.
17:17I know you're not going to kill us.
17:18I know you're not going to kill us.
17:19It's not your band.
17:21It's our fucking band.
17:22Jesus Christ, you're such an asshole.
17:23In fact, you've all been protected numerous times without being made aware of it.
17:27What?
17:28What we're doing, the confessional nature of the songs, performing for mortals, the insights
17:32into vampiric desires, it's all sacrilegious to vampirism.
17:38What?
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, is what we did on stage last night.
17:48We were raw, nasty, transcendent.
17:51Excuse me?
17:52And I lost you.
17:54You know.
17:55It's Louis, not Louis, and you, you were referring to, could be one of two dozen paramours at Pompoy
18:01throughout the centuries.
18:04We were beyond epic last night.
18:06I pulled the knife from my cane, and I held it up to his stock's throat.
18:09And that is what we are all scared about.
18:09I want to stay in bed.
18:11Eating black licorice.
18:12It's not about sucking Louis' dick.
18:13Black licorice is about the first kill I made after Louis and I reconciled.
18:19I'd say, I'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.
18:37F this.
18:38F you.
18:39We quit.
18:42Come on.
18:43Come on.
18:46Larry.
18:48They don't want to speak.
18:50But, um, being a vampire, I can tell you what they're thinking.
18:54Would you like to know what they're thinking?
18:57Fifteen hundred when we started.
19:00Twenty thousand followers now.
19:02He killed the sound technician in Denver that muddied my solos on purpose.
19:06And he is glad that I killed him.
19:09Except I didn't kill him.
19:10I merely fired him, Larry.
19:12Fate's entourage, the brooms, the tits, the dime store darlings, Bukkaki ice helmet, and four others that are not as
19:20good, but just as successful.
19:21If I don't hit it now, I'm going to marry the bum and have a baby.
19:29Finn Lizzy sucks.
19:31We'd sound better with one guitar.
19:33I don't think that.
19:34Yeah, she does.
19:36It's Alamander.
19:36Another one of Alex's vegan, 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, not you.
20:00You are the best pure musician we have, other than me.
20:06So take your time, Alex.
20:08Process it, as they say.
20:10But think thrice before running to the police or sharing in one of your anonymous groups.
20:16Not if you value your life.
20:18Or your brother's.
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, roadies transporting coffins, etc.
20:39And as front man, you're encircled by those who invariably want something from you.
20:44Now my mother, Gabriela Vecci, rest her soul, was a complicated hang.
20:49But my fledgling, the vampress Gabriela, was anything but.
20:54And with the bandit Soundcheck and Yerda playing billiards on the other side of town,
20:58she and a less pharmaceutically challenged me, found an evening to catch up and kill time.
21:03And there was simply no one in the garden more effortless in killing time than her.
21:08Why were you in Chicago?
21:10I wasn't.
21:12I was glamping in Vucevic.
21:15You lied.
21:16My maker called for his mama and I came.
21:21And came.
21:23And came.
21:24Yeah, about that.
21:25I know, we 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.
21:40We needn't you lie.
21:42Weave a basket and fill it with bullshit.
21:47I missed you.
21:51We met in Italy, of course.
21:54The Ambrosian Carnival, of course.
21:57Of course.
21:58And we wore the same costume, of course.
22:01And raced across the Piazza del Duomo to see who would slap each other first.
22:08And then you unmasked me and, well, this face.
22:15I recognized myself, really.
22:26How long are you gonna stay?
22:32I saw you two times last century.
22:35It's not an unreasonable question.
22:37Long enough?
22:40Long enough for what?
22:43Long enough to see you sing?
22:46Long enough for you to show me munchie.
22:50Wilmington.
22:52Food courts.
22:54We excuse me.
22:55I want to play cornhole.
22:59We excuse me.
22:59Rest on the rust belt.
23:00For the speed on the floor.
23:02All the moist cavities.
23:04We excuse me.
23:05I want to know this Paisa Grasso.
23:07How it hypnotizes my son for a century.
23:10We excuse me.
23:14Can I take you to dinner, Sophia?
23:18I would love that.
23:20We thank you.
23:23In a glass corner of a glass building, a group of building glass salesmen were closing a sale of a
23:29substantial amount of glass sold to a company in yet-to-be-tariffed Germany.
23:34There was to be a ritualized Saturnalia in both countries that night, and we invited ourselves to the one closest
23:41to.
23:42A study commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control on rates of depression in mid-sized American cities ranked Toledo
23:49number two on their list.
23:51Heads are down in Toledo, which makes it a fine city to travel via the cloud gift, which was Gabriele's
23:57preferred mode of murder transport.
24:00Why take so many cars?
24:03Triumph is a dark road, Sophia, and each man must find his own exit.
24:08The worst reveal themselves through time in the groaning.
24:12Nine at the indoor golfing range, seven eating seafood towers at the chop house, five crept out at the casino,
24:20and then there were three.
24:23All tippling by the time we plummeted back down the backside of Chubbs, a bar contetta blocks off the Mome
24:30River.
24:30Our hunger propelled us inside, and we watched as the remaining items on the menu marinated themselves in the pole
24:38-ravaged sweat of sex-positive, sex-cynical, sex-stipulated dancing.
24:45They had closed their deal, and we would close ours.
24:49We watched them, watched them, and only sometime later would I understand we were being watched as well, by those
24:57who were always there.
24:59A curious tangle of hunters and hunted, that warm spring night.
25:07And then it happened again.
25:13Are you a good boy, Lestat?
25:15An unamusing muse.
25:18Was this the first soldier over the wall the Oracle Jenks forewarned me about?
25:23Or the last fumes of Detroit?
25:25If you're ever homesick, there's a classy Italian place on Adam Street.
25:31Do they have spaghetti?
25:32Yeah, do you work here?
25:35Go on, what about the...
25:36Oh, uh...
25:37I don't know more.
25:40Lover?
25:41Where are you?
25:42I'm with Sophia.
25:43I don't want to know.
25:44You have to do a sit-down with Thomas Pitt and lawyer tomorrow.
25:46That's your job, lover.
25:47I'm doing my job, motherfucker.
25:49No more.
25:50We have a pact now.
25:52What?
25:54Who's Thomas Pitt?
25:55The owner of the hotel you defiled in Detroit.
25:57His lawyer says he's a fan and would appreciate an exclusive fan experience.
26:02Do I have to fuck him?
26:03Yes.
26:04Call an Uber, go to Coffin.
26:06Fine.
26:10Thank you, Carol.
26:11Uh, do you work here?
26:12Wait, did I ever ask that?
26:18You really have to understand that Vampire Gabriella, when she wasn't free-soloing a mountain
26:24or stirring a singing bowl in some dreary village, she was good company.
26:32Even as you're being out-monstered, out-bantered, it feels good.
26:37Like watching blood down a staircase feels good, or finding a party invitation in your victim's
26:44pocket.
26:45Why?
26:46I mean, that doesn't happen anymore to empty invites, but...
26:48Being with Gabriella is like...
26:51Being with Gabriella is like...
26:53Like...
26:55Like...
26:55Like...
26:57Like...
26:58Oh, predatory spirit.
27:01A good candidate for the great conversion.
27:07Well, Randy, last man standing, loves glass.
27:14Also knows somewhere inside that he does not love glass.
27:25I'm starving.
27:27I'm starving.
27:29Shall we take them both now, one each?
27:33I want to share mine with you.
27:36So we wait.
27:38We wait.
27:39We wait.
27:42Do you have a lot of sex?
27:48I'm a rock star, Mal.
27:51Of course.
27:52Do you like it?
27:55Like you do the blood.
27:59It's never like the blood.
28:04It's never like the blood.
28:07We couldn't help ourselves.
28:12We rode the edges of our pact.
28:18Hi.
28:19Hey, just sleeping at the job post.
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.
28:33I love you.
28:34Okay, bye.
28:36Boop, boop.
28:37You are listening to the show.
28:39To the failures.
28:40Album 15, side 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?
28:51For a hotel hallway massacre?
28:53Comparable damages to comparable spaces.
28:55I'd like to add a line for cascading glass.
28:57The parking structure below had a fleet of vehicles lacerated.
29:00These cleanup numbers are made up.
29:01The cleanup numbers in this case are mostly going towards silencing witnesses.
29:05This is not my first clown rodeo, Grace Jones and Gucci.
29:07And Salt received his compliment.
29:08Anyone who won't take a couple thousand in an envelope, you 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.
29:15According to Mr. Pitt here, your client's the one who called this meeting.
29:19He did no such thing.
29:20You stole my personal physician.
29:23You hired my biographer.
29:24You trashed my hotel.
29:26I didn't know it was your tech hotel.
29:27The Detroit Coven trashed your 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 Malloy, who wrote it, or the Tala Mosca who published it.
29:47Why are you employing Sam Barkley after Paris?
29:50He's paying down his debts.
29:52Oh.
29:53Bottom line, Louie.
29:54All of a sudden's negotiated.
29:55Sam didn't get on a boat.
29:56We're here to litigate.
29:57Sam didn't memorize it.
29:59He got direct a play and then come home canoodling with one of its victims.
30:02Did he?
30:02Who did that, I wonder?
30:04Repeat the name.
30:05That would be Armand.
30:06Armand.
30:09San Diego, I could understand.
30:10At least he had a presence, but...
30:12I'm happy to discuss Armand if you think that would help you.
30:15Is it true that you had a second home in Sausalito with him?
30:18We did.
30:19Did you take turns driving across the Golden Gate Bridge who held the wheel harder?
30:23Yeah.
30:23Writing numbers on each other's backs and pretending to guess them wrong.
30:27I bet.
30:28I bet!
30:29Come on.
30:30Very specific detail to pluck out of thin air!
30:33What at the foot?
30:35Are we taking minutes of this?
30:36I think we can wrap this up dispassionately.
30:38Yes, let's try and circle back to the particulars.
30:42Are you two fucking?
30:44Yes.
30:47Companion enough for yourself or you're over?
30:49He's not my companion.
30:51He's a great lay and emotionally unavailable.
30:55You doing her?
30:56Yes.
30:58Petite, surprising, and can perform what most metropolitan training systems can only dream of.
31:04Okay.
31:06Are you enjoying this exclusive fan experience?
31:10I am.
31:10Christine, could you please provide two tickets to Mr. Pitt here and his Esquire for tomorrow night's show?
31:16One will do.
31:17Lemuel doesn't enjoy your music.
31:19I do like your merchandise, though.
31:21Healthy margins considering the size of your tour.
31:23That's why I own 40% of it.
31:26Of my merch?
31:2745%.
31:2845%?
31:29My bad.
31:30I'll look into it.
31:32I was afraid, I was afraid, I was afraid, I was afraid.
31:39I'm losing you.
31:43They liked you.
31:53Howdi, first of all.
31:56Clearly pour me down with your coercion.
31:56You sounded a little thin without Alex.
31:59Larry likes it.
32:00Everyone else is...
32:01RAPED!
32:03The start in his hostage squad.
32:06Get me a shot of his latest friendo there.
32:10Copy that.
32:11Where?
32:11The Cougar Melanese 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 Buckeye?
32:22Yeah.
32:24Okay, now go up from her to the balcony
32:26and 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. Dulac, what brings you to Toledo?
32:45You're looking younger, Daniel.
32:48Bonacites in Manjaro.
32:51I'm still pissed.
32:54Want to brawl it out in the alley after the show?
32:59All right.
33:13He's gonna ruin it.
33:14What the fuck can you do in here?
33:16Oh.
33:21What the fuck can you do in here?
33:41Oh, I, I tried to write you the prettiest song in the world, but I got distracted.
33:57All I did ends up.
34:14Why, why, why, why, why?
34:17Why do I have to feel?
34:35Call comes in from some Hollywood asshole asking me whether I want to write the movie
34:39version 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.
34:55And I know what you're thinking.
34:57He wasn't there.
34:58But this is my hour, and when tertiary figures appear in it, I will be speaking for them.
35:04Daniel, Mr. Dulac, anyone I feel is important towards understanding
35:09how 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.
35:18Did it happen in a bar with a view?
35:21I say it did.
35:22How are you taken to the gift?
35:24You adore him?
35:25I'm alright.
35:28Vampire loneliness, I get it now.
35:31I'm picking up bowling, and I have this weird thing that happens
35:37where suddenly everyone around me disappears, like the raptures come,
35:42and I, you know, I feel him.
35:51Armand?
35:53Yeah.
35:55That happened with you and Lestat?
35:57No.
35:59Oh.
36:02Sounds weird.
36:03Look, I'm sorry, okay?
36:05I should have asked you before I published.
36:09I'm sorry.
36:10I would have said no.
36:14I can't fly.
36:16I can't start fires.
36:17All I got is the low-hanging balls gift.
36:19I wanted something out of it.
36:22I'm glad the book worked out for you.
36:24Didn't do too much damage to you, or whoever you are.
36:27Thomas Pitt.
36:29Hotels, bars, mall, retail.
36:32I saw money on the table.
36:35You read it?
36:37You liked it?
36:39I didn't like me in it.
36:42Passive.
36:44Selfish.
36:45A liar.
36:47And not the lying to myself kind of fucking liar.
36:51The writing's good.
36:53Hard read.
36:56He didn't like the part about Claudia and him on the train.
37:01Yeah, we were finding our way back again when the book dropped.
37:05It hurt him.
37:09I called one of my daughters the first month dead.
37:14Called her again during the book tour.
37:17Hung up.
37:18Hung up.
37:20Probably the right move.
37:23I saw Claudia.
37:26In New York.
37:28Coming up the subway.
37:29Claudia?
37:31Someone who looked like her.
37:33But in her 20s, if she'd have made it to her 20s.
37:38Saw her come up.
37:40I 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.
37:51I couldn't help myself.
37:52So, I go inside.
37:56I grab a booth.
37:59It's not her.
38:00She's not there.
38:03Chase the ghost, I guess.
38:06I order a donut and coffee, you know, just to pass.
38:12Then she comes out the back in her uniform.
38:17It's not her.
38:20This one's got a different walk.
38:24Accent.
38:28I'm not in this section.
38:30I walked out.
38:35Don't eat me for this, Louie.
38:39My producers want to meet you.
38:45Rashid?
38:47Rashid.
38:48Daniel.
38:48Malloy.
38:49Raglan.
38:49James.
38:50Louis.
38:50DuPont.
38:51Dulac.
38:51We all worked together in Dubai.
38:54Virgil Arab.
38:55Now, Haven Med Senior Care Headquarters.
38:59Said I'd introduce you.
39:02They got me on retainer.
39:04Mm-mm.
39:05Not cool, Daniel.
39:08Yeah.
39:10We 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 peasant's revenge on our family.
39:41I only ever saw the aftermath.
39:44Your slit throat slow to heal.
39:48Your rotting roof and pathrobes stuck to skin.
39:53An aloof poetry behind the eyes.
39:58Uncanny beauty.
40:03Unelusiveness.
40:04Come, go.
40:06Yes, no.
40:08I see why you gave him a daughter.
40:10I see why you took her back.
40:16And we were having such a good night, Sophia.
40:19And now we're not.
40:22Forget us, honey.
40:34Your father's tongue.
40:36Your father's tongue.
40:37It's my tongue.
40:37In Italy never made a boat layer.
40:43Uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny.
40:56Uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny.
41:06Uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny, uncanny.
41:15À travers τα activités qu'on danse enchanclleben
41:21ils enventent suspemment les beuves en élo.
41:25Désenterre la soif de chaque creature
41:28Et partout que le monde a bougé la nature
41:34We shall head home to the tower
41:39The night is young
41:40We travel so fast we could be there in an hour
41:45I'm on there
41:54I've asked for a few years
41:57I admire for a day the land that I have
42:08The wind is the most clear and the rain is the most beautiful
42:18I've been looking for love to forget
42:27But love is for me as far as gold
42:32I'm going to give you a drink of wine
42:37But love is for me as far as gold
42:43I'm going to give you a drink of wine
42:51I'm going to give you the drink of wine
42:55I'm going to give you a drink of wine
43:05Oh my god
43:27There were eight people on the ark.
43:29Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their three wives.
43:34Eight people.
43:35And now, somehow, eight billion.
43:40At some point in your privileged family tree is the thing we are discussing now.
43:46And familiar relations were not a standalone crime in the 18th century.
43:52And...
43:53She was dying when 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.
44:04Operation of an unsanctioned and unsanitary farm from their home.
44:08And in a surprising labor of ambition,
44:11managed to take down the miso power grid the other night.
44:14Not the pneumatic tube the upper floor wants to receive.
44:18So real Rashid is really Rashid? That's his actual name?
44:21Ah.
44:22Um, I emphasize the first syllable, Rashid.
44:27Rashid. Do you have a preference?
44:29No.
44:31I have a plane waiting for me.
44:33This coven in Detroit.
44:34They were the ones responsible for the damage to your property.
44:38I'm insured.
44:39And, uh, I knew that already.
44:40They tried to decapitate your love.
44:42What's the ask, Mr. James?
44:44Ah.
44:47We would like you to...
44:49take 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. We don't make the mess.
45:10And three, you're extremely skilled at dispatchment, Mr. Dulac.
45:16Paris, Dubai.
45:18How many in Dubai, Rashid?
45:2031.
45:2031?
45:2132, if you count Agent Talbot.
45:24No great loss. None 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. A 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.
45:52Hmm.
45:53I believe you, Claudia, spent a few nights with him once.
45:58Hmm?
46:05Listen to tracks from the Vampire List ad wherever you stream music.
46:12Evening then, happy to be here.
46:15Give me a million more screams.
46:41How did I get here?
46:43Sophia.
46:44Sophia.
46:46Forgotten my name already?
46:48Hello.
46:49Sophia.
46:54Within this context of the failures, the first big failure was the failure of his family unit.
47:00Are you a good boy, Lestat?
47:05Once you're a brother, Lestat.
47:07As a kid, his mother was the only person in this very hostile environment who sort of showed him any
47:14sort of affection.
47:15When they first knew each other as humans, and Gabriella was Lestat's mother 300 years ago, they lived in a
47:22situation where neither of them had any agency or power.
47:27She had a horrible relationship with her husband and was deeply unhappy and lonely.
47:34There's a lot that you learn about who Lestat is when Gabriella, his mother, shows up.
47:40Now 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 with the
47:56wolves, 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 I
48:14die.
48:23When Lestat kills the wolves, he's 30 years old, and in Gabriella's mind, he's been at home longer than he
48:31should have.
48:32From room to room, slaughtering the three of them.
48:36That's what I dreamt when I killed the wolves' mother.
48:39That is a shared desire between the two of them.
48:43And then that's given him enough impetus to get out and go and do something.
48:46He goes to Paris, turns into a vampire, his mom dying, turns his mom into a vampire.
48:57Once Gabriella is turned into a vampire, they both want to go back and kill them, and now 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 life
49:31that she has had autonomy and power.
49:35Do you have a lot of sex?
49:37Of 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.
49:55It's like that you know me, who I really am.
49:58You know where I came from.
49:59You know what my fundamental drive is, and you remember me as a human being before I was this other
50:05thing.
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.
50:28You trashed my hotel.
50:29The Detroit Coven Triastro 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 Louis being a complete troll in that scene, he gets off on making Lister angry, I think, to
50:46some extent.
50:46Did you take turns driving across the Golden Gate Bridge?
50:50You held the wheel higher.
50:51Writing numbers on each other's backs and pretending to guess them wrong.
50:55I bet.
50:56I bet!
50:57It's a really fun scene.
50:59It's a real attack, and he knows he's going to rile him up.
51:02It was quite strange to go from being this, like, very strong, centered vampire to being just sort of petty.
51:12Christine, could you please provide two tickets to Mr. Pitt here and his Esquire for tomorrow night's show?
51:18One will do.
51:19Lemuel doesn't enjoy your music.
51:22As petty as he's been, I think Louis is looking forward to seeing Lister that show.
51:29I was afraid, I was afraid, I was afraid of Louis.
51:37I think he's also impressed.
51:39This is what he should have always been doing.
51:46A lot of his songs, you know, don't really know who they're about.
51:49Could be about Louis, could be about Nicky, could be about Gabriela.
51:51It's very on-brand for Louis to think every song is about him.
51:55And then on another level, I think there's probably, like, a gossipy side of Louis that's like,
51:59Who's this about?
52:00When did this happen?
52:02Who is that?
52:02Who is he?
52:03Who is she?
52:04Could be about just the fact that why does he have to feel in general?
52:06Because he's a very emotive character, and he kind of gets totally riled up in his own emotions,
52:11and he'll ride them.
52:12So, I think that can be a frustrating thing.
52:15I mean, he's obviously doing a very intensely power-thrusting version of the song,
52:20and intentionally ignoring Louis until he can't anymore.
52:42Oh, I tried to write you the prettiest song in the world.
52:57When he gets the book and he sees that it's all scribbled and scrawled,
53:02and I think it's when the guilt really starts to creep in.
53:05This is the first time they've had a little private moment about it.
53:08Louis has that kind of effect on the start that he, you know,
53:11will get so angry that it will freeze time and fly up to him and sing in his face.
53:15Oh, why, why, why, why do I have to feel
53:24The pain
53:27There's too much to feel
53:31There's too much to feel
53:32...
