is all part

You hear things others cannot.

Painful to listen,

You'll get better at it.

I'm not going to kill you.

I'm Doris.

Guy: The back

The book.

Full of secrets, right?

Spells? Payroll records?
I don't know.

Why is it so important to you?

I mean, what are you
going to do with it?

Come on.

I'll tell you a story.

It's 1271. Romania.

There's this vampire
named Vesel.

Nobody special,
but he's got a secret.

Where are we going?

To my kill room.

[Laughing]
I'm fucking with you, man.

Relax.
We're going to the basement.

-It's a good story.
-[Elevator bell dings]

Come on.

[Elevator doors open]

♪♪

So... Romania, 1271,
Vesel the Vampire.

His big secret is
that he's sworn off human blood

and drinks
only the blood of chickens.

[Scoffs] That's weird.

Weird? Back then, that sort
of stuff was unthinkable.

That's why Vesel keeps it quiet.

But someone finds out

and squeals to the rest
of the coven.

And they banish Vesel.
Permanently.

I mean cast him the fuck out.

[Elevator thumps,
elevator bell dings]

After you.

♪♪

Fast forward to the 1920s.

Vesel's had
a rough few centuries.

Now he's a bitter old fucker,

and he decided to finally
figure out who screwed him over

way back in 1271.

And where do you think
he turns for help

with his little investigation?

We watch...

And we're always there.

♪♪

He bribes a field agent
in Lisbon

to scour the Talamasca's files,

and that agent heads to the
Central Library in Amsterdam.

And sure enough,
they turn up a name.

Mergu.

An old Romanian vampire

who was in Bolivia by then

heading up a coven in La Paz.

So Vesel flies down there.

And then? He slaughters
those poor motherfuckers,

every... last... one of them.

[Woman screaming]

One night, 17 lives.

♪♪

Because of what one greedy
Talamasca agent let slip.

And that agent,
he isn't the exception, Guy.

He's the rule.

When you live forever...

heartbreak, loss, grudges?

All that shit lives forever
right along with you.

That's why the book matters.

And it's why the Talamasca

cannot be allowed
to get it back.

For centuries, they've collected
our stories and secrets

and wielded them as a weapon
to keep us in line.

And the worst part?
We let 'em do it.

No, running the place.

It's a front.
A hotel for mortals,

[Chuckles] Let me see.

The whole coven's
a bunch of underworld thugs

that think they're hard.

They deal in whatever pays...
drugs, guns, black market shit.

Usually the spooks

they go silent.

Wait, so you're going in there

No, Guy. You.

I can't go in there.
They know who I am.

I wouldn't get past the lobby.

As we begin Episode 4 and
we see Helen at the cemetery,

you might be wondering,
what is Helen doing out here?

What does this have to do
with our mission and our goal?

It's yet another step
on the journey

that Helen is on
to open the doors to her past.

She's in a place
where she can't move forward.

Helen is a damaged person.

I'm here every day,

but I haven't seen you
before in my life.

Thank you.

Jasper: Dude, it's not,
like, poisoned,

if that's what you're thinking.
You can trust me.

Denton: When Guy goes to meet
Jasper for the first time,

he's kind of up shit creek
without a paddle.

Fichtner: I make him breakfast,
calm him down a little bit,

and I give him a little tour
of the place.

Where are we going?

To my kill room.

The kill room,
as he likes to call it.

[Laughing]
I'm fucking with you, man.

He then takes me
into an elevator,

starts explaining
a little bit about himself,

but I'm standing there
with Jasper

in a 2x2 bloody
elevator together.

The proximity to me and a
vampire is really, really close.

Fichtner:
It is a really odd thing.

[Elevator bell dings]

But once he takes me
down to his basement

where he turns Revenants
and keeps people captured,

it's pretty scary.

What are we doing down here?

Howard Berger, who's been

That includes
these lovely lenses in here,

uh, these prosthetics here,
always lots of makeup,

[Sighs]

Guy walks
into the Westcroft Hotel.

He knows that his ultimate goal
is to find information

on the Seven-Five-Two,

but he's also walking into
a den of vampires.

What the hell
are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

We are leaving. Now.

Doris really sees something
of Keves in Guy,

and she sees Guy getting
himself in a situation

that he thinks he can handle,
and she knows he can't.

Outside, there's a van.
There's a man parked in it.

Could you hand him the note?

Raglan: "Guy Anatoly."

What the hell, man?

Calm down.

I know you're Talamasca.

Lafferty: Unbeknownst to him,
there's another Talamasca agent

who is at the Westcroft,
and that's Raglan James.

Raglan James is a character

who plays prominently in
a lot of other Anne Rice works,

and that has appeared
on "Interview with the Vampire."

He's a very fun character.

Justin Kirk is just a dream
to work with.

I've got something else
to offer. Him.

Lafferty: What they don't know
is that downstairs in a van

is Checkers,
and Checkers, of course,

is this lethal killing machine

that is going to be unleashed
upon the world.

Brown: Yeah, it's my first
chance out of the grave,

and I'm basically being told
by Jasper to go and protect Guy.

So the scene is
in this hotel behind me here.

So I climb this hotel
from the outside,

rip this window off, and go
and decapitate a few vampires.

It's a really difficult sequence

to pull off because of the
eye lines more than anything.

We wanted Guy to be able to see
something in another room

that no one else was privy to.

I loved shooting that sequence.

[Muffled grunting]

Hancock: And Eva Sorhaug,

our very talented director
of the second block,

boy, just put the work in

to make sure it was fantastic
and great,

and the actors were all in.

And when you throw
Justin Kirk in as Raglan James,

it's just, you know, gooses
everything in a good way.

[Raglan sighs]

"Only one I work for
is myself," huh?

Make it your mantra.

Kirk:
There are moments that seem

as though I'm sort of
double crossing him.

But then there are moments
where it appears

that maybe it's
a sort of mentoring scenario,

because we both get out alive,

and I'm the only one
that gets shot.

Fichtner: What I think is one
of the more powerful scenes

that Jasper experiences
in the entire first season

is what he finds
behind that door.

[Weakly] Kill me.

This is everything of why
he's there in the first place

and why he took over
the Mother House,

is because of things like this.

It's a shocking moment
for Jasper,

and, uh, it's upsetting for him.

And he will end it
right then and there.

And he does.

Denton: It's so much easier
to play anything after that

by actually
bearing witness to it,

'cause that is imprinted
in my head,

this vampire having his head
ripped off in a mercy killing.

It's disgustingly brilliant.

Lafferty: Leaving Episode 4,
Guy's in a van.

There is a Revenant vampire
on one side of him

and a very smart
and wily vampire

on the other side of him.

And hiding in the boot
of the van is Doris.

We're not quite sure
what she's up to,

but we do know that these
two characters

are suddenly literally
in the belly of the beast.

Someone cares about you,
you know.

I don't know what
you're talking about, so...

Between the two of us,

I'm sure we can figure it out.
