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.
00:41Mmm.
00:41The Tooth Team LeFang gang.
00:45I assume a privileged individual such as yourself enjoys a little dirt in their sandwich.
00:50So I serve it to you now.
00:52You're for real?
00:53How it felt then.
00:55Fledgling.
00:56Lover.
00:57Mother.
01:01You are listening to The Failures.
01:03Album 8, Side A.
01:08If you're still listening after the Eid 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
01:19in illuminating the why and how I became me in the light of said Eid Epiphany.
01:26You've weathered the Freudian storms and yes, that boat is a penis and yes, that ocean is
01:32my mother's vagina.
01:35Kiss.
01:35Grope.
01:36Aftercare.
01:37Onward.
01:39Picture Auvergne, France, 1772.
01:43Picture the dingy seat of the Liencourt family at the fag end of a thousand years of aristocratic
01:50decline.
01:50Picture my five dead siblings, Aristide, Marie, Jules, unbaptized, and Faustin.
01:58Garden 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
02:08to the monastic house at Haute-Loire.
02:10And what will you get for this faggot?
02:13A silk line cassock?
02:15Nothing, monseigneur.
02:16I see goodness in your son.
02:19Are you a good boy, Lestat?
02:21Are you a good boy, Lestat?
02:22Are you a good boy, Lestat?
02:24I want to be a brother, Lestat.
02:29I...
02:31Don't.
02:33Don't.
02:35Don't.
02:37No.
02:39No, he doesn't, no?
02:40My son de Icarbin, the next pope.
02:43We can mend his affliction.
02:45Pope has befeeds his rick and station.
02:48Titles, one of the blood-soaked fields of France.
02:51L'autre n'y a no vinti, tu n'en ai vinto propria.
02:58Si 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, Erasmus.
03:09I asked the question.
03:15Aristotle, Erasmus, Aquinas.
03:20Cicero, Alberti, Bruno.
03:29The innkeeper tells me he brought these actors back to the inn,
03:35buys them a sum of wine beyond obligation.
03:38Half the village there waiting for me to pay.
03:43Tenants asking me this.
03:45The escape was not an option for Gabriella Vecchi.
03:49The Marquis had promised her preservation and delivered her ruin.
03:53On stage with alls and all masters.
03:57He wants a taste of the theatre.
03:59You tell him to bed one of them.
04:01You don't open the wagon and join up!
04:10She 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.
04:21After a gong farmer, then an actor.
04:23After an actor, then a cabbage.
04:25Look up from your book when you speak to our father, huh?
04:28Cabbage. Cabbage. Cabbage.
04:31He was our little joke, the cabbages.
04:34The cabbage heads with cabbage brains and cabbage wives all speaking cabbage.
04:39At least there would have been some honor in it!
04:42The Lyoncourt name covered in his shit again.
04:45Love nothing, do nothing, change nothing!
04:47Seat and supper!
04:48Am I suffering?
04:49Mr. Gregoire?
04:51A question for the philosophers.
04:54Can a cabbage suffer?
05:03One hour on stage.
05:05An hour of not displace.
05:09It's dampness and dimness, and your Pokemark the wife.
05:13And Gregoire 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 one more goddamn time.
05:36Cabbage!
05:37Break his legs!
05:41You will hunt the land as we do!
05:44You will marry your worth and the children who will shame you the 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.
06:12But now the wolves, they are taking out sheep, so bold now they have lost their fear!
06:16Another one stole it today!
06:18A puddle of carts where sheep used to be!
06:21They will snatch a babe soon!
06:22There'd be 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!
06:51Keep coughing, 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!
07:05Hey!
07:06Put the gun down, Lestat!
07:08The wolves will move on!
07:12We ask your protection as our senor!
07:16We would like you to share some of your bounty on your table!
07:20Hey!
07:21Go on!
07:22Things!
07:23There'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.
07:41Watch me join the cabbages.
07:57And what was this life?
08:02The good in me lost at the monastery.
08:04Where are you?
08:06My sense of wonder abandoned in a travelling player's wagon.
08:10Go!
08:11Close the mountain!
08:24I wanted the wolves to come.
08:26No!
08:27No!
08:29No!
08:31No!
08:36No!
08:37No!
08:53He refuses food.
08:55He refuses care.
08:59You killed five wolves by yourself.
09:04Eight.
09:08Not five.
09:13To robot my horse.
09:19My dog.
09:27Eight.
09:33Do they were so local worse, sir.
09:40There's a mob came yesterday.
09:43Again tonight.
09:44They wished to worship you.
09:47Your father and your brothers bent with shame.
09:53Come down.
09:55You'll enjoy it.
09:57From room to room, slaughtering the three of them.
10:05That's what I dreamt when I kill the world's mother.
10:13You know what I dream?
10:20I'm drinking wine, so drunk.
10:25I dream of my clothes and baked in a mountain.
10:35I go into the village, into the inn,
10:41and I take into bed any men that come.
10:55Crude men, big men, old men, boys,
11:02taking them one after another,
11:08and feeling some magnificent release in it.
11:13No thought of your father or your brothers.
11:23In that moment, I belong to no one.
11:32Except for me.
11:50I'm dying.
11:54I won't survive the winter.
11:56Mother.
11:58Mother?
12:06Finish it, he has a mouth to bless.
12:14Mother!
12:18Mother!
12:22Mother!
12:46I saw them too.
12:47Oh, 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 a lawyer.
12:58I 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
13:05was one vampire acting in self-defense.
13:08But he signed a unilateral,
13:10which is a one-way street that I control.
13:12Suitcase bomb.
13:15Where are we?
13:17Buckeye State.
13:18Do you have the fire gift?
13:21Oh, my God.
13:23Just again?
13:26How did I get you?
13:28Sophia.
13:30Forgotten my name already.
13:32Oh.
13:33Hello.
13:34Sophia.
13:37I'm sorry.
13:38Are we just not going to talk about last night?
13:40Are we not going to talk about the year and a half
13:42of weird bullshit that you've been putting us through
13:44for the past year and a half?
13:46And you didn't feel like that was
13:47at all important to tell us.
13:48Something's on fire.
13:48We'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.
13:54Like, 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
14:05in Ohio, and she had come a great distance to comfort me.
14:11And you are being very patient regarding the vampire incest
14:16factor, 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, please.
14:25One at a time.
14:35I'm a little killer.
14:37I'm a lonely one.
14:39I'm a sugar gun up your spine.
14:41Tell them you'll run.
14:43I'm a little gentle.
14:45I'm a last love.
14:47I'm the best and the future,
14:48the last of the sutures,
14:50the crew and death.
14:50Where the rock and roll is.
14:53Where the guitar.
14:55Where the heart of me love.
14:56And the beat of the mind.
14:58Where the stupid rhyme.
15:00Bang, bang.
15:02Bang, bang.
15:04Bang, bang.
15:05Bang, bang.
15:06Bang, bang.
15:06I'll fall down.
15:10Burn the ground.
15:14I'll fall down.
15:18Burn the ground.
15:20Bang, bang.
15:22Bang, bang.
15:24Bang, bang.
15:29Bang, bang.
15:29Bang, bang.
15:31Fabulous.
15:32Moving on.
15:36Do you kill people?
15:39I sleep, I think, I sing,
15:41I 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.
15:47I do it on stage every night.
15:49The small cup.
15:50How many people do you kill at night?
15:52How many people?
15:53This is what I have Farid for.
15:55Oh yeah, that's also why you have a body double.
15:58You tell them.
15:59He gets most of his blood from the farm.
16:02Most?
16:02The farm?
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-run bingo games.
16:12Cash only, no questions.
16:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, so you're a vampire too?
16:16Three of us, nine of you.
16:19Out and proud.
16:20Three?
16:21Three.
16:22Three?
16:22Hi, name's Daniel.
16:24I'm a Taurus on the cusp of Aries.
16:26I prefer A, B, negative.
16:28Who's your maker?
16:29Have you tried our age?
16:31Only 45 people on the planet possesses.
16:34Only 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 letter today?
17:00Armand is a day long.
17:01Did you help me hose off my Mustang
17:03at a self-service car wash in Spokane?
17:06You said there 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.
17:17Yeah, 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
17:25without being made aware of it.
17:27What?
17:28What we're doing, the confessional nature of the songs,
17:31performing for mortals, the insights into vampiric desires,
17:33it'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
17:44is what we did on stage last night.
17:46Are all your songs about this guy, Louis?
17:47Last night we were raw and 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,
17:59could be one of two dozen paramours at some point.
18:02Who's that villain sneaking up from behind
18:03with the knife in his hand and a mouthful of life?
18:05We were beyond epic last night.
18:06I pulled the knife from my cane and I held it up to his stock's throat.
18:08And that is what we are all scared about.
18:10I want to stay in bed.
18:11Eating black licorice is not about sucking Louis' dick.
18:13Black licorice is about the first kill I made
18:17after Louis and I reconciled.
18:18I'd say, I'm calling the cops.
18:20I lived 54,554 days before I met Louis DuPont Dulac.
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.
18:37F you.
18:39We quit.
18:42Come on.
18:46Larry.
18:47They don't want to speak.
18:50But, um, being a vampire,
18:52I can tell you what they're thinking.
18:54Would you like to know what they're thinking?
18:57Fifteen hundred when we started.
18:59Twenty thousand followers now.
19:02He 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, the brooms, the tits,
19:15the dime store darlings,
19:17bukkake ice helmet,
19:18and four others that are not as good,
19:20but just as successful.
19:22If I don't hit it now,
19:25I'm going to marry the bum and have a baby.
19:29Finn Lizzie sucks.
19:30We'd sound better with one guitar.
19:33I don't think that.
19:34Yeah, she does.
19:36It's Alamander.
19:37Another one of Alex's vegan, straight-edge,
19:42bullshit mood swings.
19:43He'll find a meeting and be back tomorrow.
19:46Dude.
19:48And I make it a rule never to sleep with my bandmates.
19:56T.C. was talking about Larry, not you.
20:00You are the best pure musician we have,
20:04other than me.
20:05So take your time, Alex.
20:08Process 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 frontman,
20:40you're encircled by those
20:41who invariably want something from you.
20:44Now my mother,
20:45Gabriela Vecci, rest her soul,
20:47was a complicated hang.
20:49But my fledgling,
20:51the Vampress Gabriela,
20:52was anything but.
20:54And with the bandit Soundcheck
20:55and Yerda playing billiards
20:57on the other side of town,
20:58she and a less pharmaceutically challenged me,
21:01found an evening to catch up and kill time.
21:03And there was simply no one in the garden
21:05more effortless in killing time
21:07than her.
21:08Why were you in Chicago?
21:10I wasn't.
21:12I was glamping in Husevich.
21:15You lied.
21:16My maker called for his mama
21:19and I came
21:20and came
21:22and came.
21:23Yeah, about that.
21:25I know.
21:26We really shouldn't.
21:28We need to make a pact
21:30if you're gonna stay.
21:31Up to you.
21:32I want you to stay.
21:34A pact then.
21:37Companionship
21:38without the calm.
21:40We needn't you lie.
21:42Weave a basket
21:43and fill it with bullshit.
21:47I missed you.
21:51We met in Italy, of course.
21:54Mmm.
21:55The Ambrosian Carnival, of course.
21:57Of course.
21:58And we wore the same costume, of course.
22:01And raced across the Piazza del Duomo
22:03to see who would slap each other first.
22:08And then you unmasked me
22:09and, well,
22:12this face.
22:15I recognized myself, really.
22:21Yeah.
22:22See, it comes back around again.
22:24Hmm.
22:27How long are you gonna stay?
22:30Ah.
22:32I saw you two times last century.
22:35It's not an unreasonable question.
22:37Long enough?
22:39Huh.
22:40Long enough for what?
22:43Long enough to see you sing?
22:46For you to show me munchie?
22:50Wilmington.
22:52Food courts.
22:54We scuse me.
22:55I want to play cornhole.
22:59We scuse me.
22:59Rest on the rust belt.
23:00For 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.
23:14Can I take you to dinner, Sophia?
23:18I would love that.
23:20We thank you.
23:23In a glass corner of a glass building,
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.
23:34There was to be a 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 midsize American cities
23:48ranked Toledo number two on their list.
23:51Heads are down in Toledo,
23:53which makes it a fine city to travel via the cloud gift,
23:56which was Gabriele's preferred mode of murder transport.
24:00Why take so many cars?
24:03Triumph is a dark road, Sophia,
24:05and each man must find his own exit.
24:08The worst reveal themselves through time in the Grone.
24:11Nine at the indoor golfing range,
24:14seven eating seafood towers at the chop house,
24:18five 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 Mome River.
24:31Our hunger propelled us inside,
24:33and we watched as the remaining items on the menu
24:36marinated themselves in the pole-ravaged sweat
24:39of sex-positive, sex-cynical, sex-stipulated dancing.
24:45They had closed their deal, and we would close ours.
24:49We watched them, watched them.
24:51And only sometime later would I understand we were being watched as well,
24:56by those who were always there.
24:59A curious tangle of hunters and hunted that warm spring night.
25:07And then it happened again.
25:12Are you a good boy, Lestat?
25:15An unamusing muse.
25:18Was this the first soldier over the wall the Oracle Jenks forewarned me about?
25:22Or 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?
25:35Oh, go on, about the...
25:36Oh, that...
25:40Lover...
25:40Where 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?
25:53Who'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, call it over, go to coffin.
26:06Fine.
26:09Thank you, Carol.
26:11Do you work here?
26:13Did I ever ask that?
26:18You really have to understand
26:20that Vampire Gabriella,
26:22when she wasn't free-soloing a mountain
26:24or stirring a singing bowl in some dreary village,
26:28she was good company.
26:32Even as you're being out-monstered, out-bantered,
26:35it feels good.
26:37Like watching blood down a staircase feels good
26:41or finding a party invitation in your victim's pocket.
26:45Well, I mean, that doesn't happen anymore to empty invites,
26:48but being with Gabriella is like...
26:54like...
26:55like...
27:00predatory spirit.
27:02A good candidate for the great conversion.
27:08Well, Randy,
27:10last man standing,
27:13loves glass.
27:15Also knows somewhere inside
27:18that he does not love glass.
27:25I'm starving.
27:29Shall we take them both now?
27:31One each?
27:33I want to share mine with you.
27:36So we wait.
27:38We wait.
27:42Do you have a lot of sex?
27:48I'm a rock star, 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.
28:19Hi.
28:19Hey, just sleeping in the child's 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.
28:37You are listening to The Failures.
28:40Album 15, side B.
28:43Estimates on the structural damage
28:44are still being calculated,
28:46so the figure we've put forth
28:47was based on comps
28:49the engaged architectural firm provided.
28:51Comps for 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
28:58had a fleet of vehicles lacerated.
29:00These cleanup numbers are made up.
29:02The cleanup numbers in this case
29:02are mostly going towards silencing witnesses.
29:05This is not my first clown rodeo,
29:06Grace Jones and Gucci.
29:07And Salt received his compliment.
29:08Anyone who won't take a couple thousand
29:09in an envelope,
29:10you guys do the mind-wipey thing
29:12so you can take that line item
29:13and hold it over your vampire bidet.
29:15We could have done the shit over the phone.
29:16According to Mr. Pitt here,
29:17your 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 techie 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 because 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...
29:44Take it up with Malloy, who wrote it,
29:46or the Tala Mosca, who published it.
29:47Why are you employing Sam Barkley after Paris?
29:51He's paying down his debts.
29:52Oh, bottom line, Malloy.
29:54All citizens negotiated.
29:55Sam didn't get on a boat.
29:56We're here to litigate.
29:57Sam didn't memorize the minds.
29:59He got directed play
30:00and then come home canoodling
30:01with one of its victims, did he?
30:02Who did that, I wonder?
30:04Repeat the name.
30:05That would be Armand.
30:06Armand.
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
30:17in Sausalito with you?
30:18We did?
30:19Did you take turns
30:20driving across the Golden Gate Bridge
30:22who held the wheel harder?
30:23Yeah, writing numbers on each other's backs
30:25and pretending to guess them wrong.
30:27I bet.
30:28I bet!
30:29Come on, Sam.
30:30Very specific detail
30:31to block out of thin air!
30:33What are they, folks?
30:35Are we taking minutes of this?
30:36I think we can wrap this up dispassionately.
30:38Yes, let's try and circle back
30:39to the particulars.
30:42Are you two fucking?
30:44Yes.
30:47Companion enough for yourself
30:48for you're over?
30:49He's not my companion.
30:51He's a great lay
30:52and emotionally unavailable.
30:55You doing her?
30:56Yes.
30:58Petite, surprising,
30:59and can perform
31:00what most metropolitan
31:01draining systems
31:02could only dream of.
31:04Okay.
31:06Are you enjoying
31:07this exclusive fan experience?
31:09I have.
31:10Christine,
31:11could you please provide
31:12two tickets
31:12to Mr. Pitt here
31:14and his Esquire
31:15for 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
31:22considering the size of your tour.
31:23That's why I own
31:2440% of it.
31:26Of my merch?
31:2745%.
31:2845%.
31:29My bad.
31:30I'll look into it.
31:31I was afraid,
31:33I was afraid,
31:34I was afraid
31:38I'm losing you
31:42They love you
31:52I'm losing you
32:01I was afraid.
32:03The start
32:04in his hostage squad.
32:06Get me a shot
32:07of his latest friendo there.
32:10Copy that.
32:11Where?
32:12The Cougar Milanese
32:13in the crowd.
32:15Got her.
32:16No, no, no, not her.
32:17The one standing
32:18in judgment
32:19of the Buckeye God.
32:21The one from the bus?
32:22Yeah.
32:24Okay, now go up
32:25from her to the balcony
32:26and get me a frame
32:28of pretty green eyes again.
32:29Okay, got him.
32:30Who is this guy?
32:32He is the story.
32:40Mr. Dulac,
32:42what brings you to Toledo?
32:45You're looking younger, Daniel.
32:48Bonasites in Manjaro.
32:51I'm still pissed.
32:54Want to brawl it out
32:55in the alley after the show?
32:58All right.
33:12I'm still a rock.
33:14What the fuck are you doing here?
33:16Oh.
33:30Oh, I tried to ride you.
33:31Oh, I tried to ride you.
33:46The prettiest song in the world
33:52But I got distracted
33:57All I did ends up
34:13Oh, why, why, why do I have to leave?
34:22The pain is too much, it's too real
34:35Call comes in from some Hollywood asshole
34:37Asking 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
34:55And I know what you're thinking, he wasn't there
34:58But this is my hour, and when tertiary figures appear in it
35:02I 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
35:15It 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 adoring?
35:25I'm alright
35:28Vampire loneliness, I get it now
35:30I'm picking up bowling
35:33And I have this weird thing that happens
35:37Where suddenly everyone around me disappears
35:40Like the raptures come
35:41And I...
35:44You know...
35:47I feel him
35:49Armand?
35:53Yeah
35:54That happened with you and Lestat?
35:57No
35:58Oh
36:00Sounds weird
36:03Look, I'm sorry
36:04Okay?
36:05I should've asked you before I published
36:09I'm sorry
36:10I would've said no
36:14I can't fly
36:15I 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
36:25Or whoever you are
36:27Thomas Pitt
36:29Hotels, bars, mall, retail
36:32I saw money on the table
36:35You read it?
36:36You 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
36:49A fucking liar
36:51The writing's good
36:52Hard read
36:56He didn't like the part about Claudia and him on the train
37:01Yeah, we were finding our way back again
37:03When the book dropped
37:04It hurt him
37:09I called one of my daughters
37:12The first month dead
37:14Called her again during the book tour
37:17Hung up
37:18Hung up
37:20Probably the right move
37:24I saw Claudia
37:26In New York
37:28Coming up the subway
37:29Claudia?
37:31Someone
37:31Someone who looked like her
37:33But in her 20s
37:34She'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
37:44Kinda sorta
37:45And uh
37:47I saw her walk into a diner
37:50And I couldn't help myself
37:54I go inside
37:56I grab a booth
37:59It's not her
38:00She's not there
38:02Chase the ghost, I guess
38:06If I order a donut
38:08And coffee
38:09You know, just to pass
38:12Then she comes out the back
38:14In her uniform
38:17It's not her
38:20This one's got a different walk
38:24Accent
38:28I'm not in a section
38:31I walked out
38:35Don't eat me for this, Louie
38:39My producers wanna meet you
38:45Rashid?
38:47Rashid?
38:48Daniel Molloy
38:48Raglan
38:49James
38:49Louis
38:50DuPont
38:51Dulac
38:51We all worked together in Dubai
38:53Virgil 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
39:09We all argued about this coming
39:28What does he know about me?
39:31What did you tell him?
39:33That you died in 1794
39:36Of consumption
39:37Mercy
39:38Saved you from the peasant's revenge on our family
39:41I only ever saw the aftermath
39:43Your slit throat slow to heal
39:48Your rotting roof and bathrobe 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, Sofia
40:19And now we're not
40:22Forget her, Sainte
40:29I see
40:31Your father's tongue
40:36It's my tongue
40:38In Italy never made a Baudelaire
40:42I see
40:43Ainsi qu'une fontaine au rythmique sans dos
40:48Je l'entends bien qu'il coule avec un homme au mur
40:52Mais je me t'ai en vain pour trouver la blessure
40:56Yeah
40:58Yeah
41:06Yeah
41:07Yeah
41:09Yeah
41:09Yeah
41:10Yeah
41:10Yeah
41:15Atraver la cité qu'on dance en chanclot
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.
41:45Where am I?
42:04The night is young.
42:20Where am I?
42:25The night is young.
42:27But the love is for me.
42:30Like a madman's face.
42:33I'm going to be drinking water.
42:38But the love is for me.
42:42Like a madman's face.
42:44I'm going to be drinking water.
43:08Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh 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 she was dying when she came to see me.
43:57Fuck it.
43:58It's different for vampires.
44:00That's it.
44:00Distribution of fentanyl for half of Michigan, operation of an unsanctioned and unsanitary farm from their home, and in a
44:09surprising labor of ambition, managed to take down the miso power grid the other night.
44:15Not the pneumatic tube the upper floor wants to receive.
44:17So real Rashid is really Rashid?
44:20That's his actual name?
44:21Ah.
44:22Um, I emphasize the first syllable, Rashid.
44:26Rashid.
44:27Do you have a preference?
44:29No.
44:31I have a plane waiting for me.
44:33This coven in Detroit.
44:34They were the ones responsible for the damage to your property.
44:38I'm insured, and I knew that already.
44:40They tried to decapitate your love.
44:42What's the ask, Mr. James?
44:47We would like you to take care of our problem in Detroit, Mr. Dulac.
44:54No.
44:54One, we're understaffed and overworked.
44:57The exponential growth in your numbers not helping matters.
45:01Two, the shop's protocols of engagement limit our roles in these kinds of operations.
45:06We clean up.
45:08We don't make the mess.
45:10And three, you're extremely skilled at dispatchment.
45:14Mr. 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.
45:24None 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.
45:52Hmm.
45:53I believe your Claudia spent a few nights with him once.
45:58Hmm?
46:05Listen to tracks from the Vampire List ad wherever you stream music.
46:12Evening then, I'm good to be here.
46:14Oh boy.
46:15Give me a million more screens.
46:18Nicolas Delenfant.
46:19Rester?
46:21What's he doing in Paris?
46:22Give me a million more screens.
46:28Your mother?
46:32I want you to lie enough to give it to me.
46:42How did I get here?
46:43Sophia.
46:44Sophia.
46:45Forgotten my name already?
46:48Hello, Sophia.
46:53Within this context of the failures,
46:56the first big failure was the failure of his family unit.
47:00Are you a good boy, Lestat?
47:05I want to see your brother, Lestat.
47:07As a kid, his mother was the only person
47:10in this very hostile environment
47:12who sort of showed him any sort of affection.
47:15When they first knew each other as humans,
47:17and Gabriella was Lestat's mother 300 years ago,
47:21they lived in a situation
47:23where neither of them had any agency or power.
47:27She had a horrible relationship with her husband
47:30and was deeply unhappy and lonely.
47:34There's a lot that you learn about who Lestat is
47:37when 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 gonna get up at that table
47:53and try to solve this problem with the wolves,
47:57it's going to be Lestat.
47:59The killing of the wolves is connected intrinsically to Gabriella.
48:03Gabriella's saying, go out and be something.
48:08This is Lestat's moment to be like,
48:10I'm gonna do something.
48:11I'm gonna make something of my life,
48:12and I'm gonna go out and kill them, even if I die.
48:18I'm gonna do something.
48:21I'm gonna do something.
48:23I'm gonna do something.
48:23When Lestat kills the wolves,
48:26he's 30 years old,
48:27and in Gabriella's mind,
48:30he's been at home longer than he should have.
48:32From room to room,
48:34slaughtering 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,
48:42and then that's given him enough impetus to get out and go and do something.
48:46He goes to Paris,
48:47turns into a vampire,
48:49his mom dying,
48:50turns his mom into a vampire.
48:57Once Gabriella has turned into a vampire,
48:59they both want to go back and kill them,
49:01and now they can.
49:09She can now live the life she's always wanted to live,
49:13and vampirism liberates her.
49:15I was absolutely drawn to Gabriella's absolute love of being a vampire.
49:23For her, it is almost like a finding of herself, I think,
49:28or certainly the only time in her life that she has had autonomy and power.
49:35Do you have a lot of sex?
49:37Of course.
49:39Do you like it 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,
49:48and, I mean, they have a super complicated relationship,
49:50but they're the only people still alive that both knew each other when they were human.
49:54I think that's really important.
49:55It's like that you know me, who I really am.
49:58You know where I came from.
49:58You know what my fundamental drive is,
50:01and you remember me as a human being before I was this other thing.
50:06So they're deeply connected, and it's toxic,
50:09but, 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 it.
50:30The Detroit Coven trashed your hotel.
50:31I'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 Lista angry, I think, to some extent.
50:46Did you take turns driving across the Golden Gate Bridge?
50:50Yeah.
50:50You held the wheel harder.
50:51Writing numbers on each other's backs and pretending to guess I'm 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 Louie is looking forward to seeing Lista show.
51:29I was afraid, I was afraid, I was afraid of Louie.
51:37I think he's also impressed.
51:39This is what he should have always been doing.
51:46A lot of his songs, you don't really know who they're about.
51:49Could be about Louie, could be about Nicky, could be about Gabriella.
51:51It's very on brand for Louie to think every song is about him.
51:55And then on another level, I think there's probably like a gossipy side of Louie that's like,
51:59who's this about?
52:00When did this happen?
52:02Who is that?
52:02Who is he?
52:03Who is she?
52:04Could be about just the fact that why does he have to feel in general?
52:06Because he's a very emotive character, and he kind of gets totally riled up in his own emotions,
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 Louie until he can't anymore.
52:42Oh, I tried to write you the prettiest song in the world.
52:53But I got distracted.
52:57When he gets the book and he sees that it's all scribbled and scrawled,
53:02and I think it's when the guilt really starts to creep in.
53:05This is the first time they've had a little private moment about it.
53:08Louie has that kind of effect on the start that he, you know,
53:11will get so angry that it will freeze time and fly up to him and sing in his face.
53:15Yeah.
53:15Oh, why, why, why, why do I have to feel the pain?
53:26Yeah.
53:28Yeah.
53:29Yeah.
53:29Yeah.
53:29That's what she's doing here!
