on AMC+ or wherever you

3
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:13,926
Previously on the show
formerly titled.
4
00:00:14,101 --> 00:00:15,537
"Interview With the Vampire"...
5
00:00:15,711 --> 00:00:17,843
So, Mr. du Lac,
how long have you been dead?
6
00:00:17,974 --> 00:00:20,324
The year was 1910.
7
00:00:20,498 --> 00:00:23,284
Louis, let me introduce you
to Mr. Lestat de Lioncourt.
8
00:00:23,458 --> 00:00:25,218
What exactly is
the nature of your relationship
9
00:00:25,242 --> 00:00:27,027
with my brother,
Monsieur Lioncourt?
10
00:00:27,201 --> 00:00:28,985
I can swap this life of shame,
11
00:00:29,159 --> 00:00:31,074
swap it out for a dark gift.
12
00:00:31,205 --> 00:00:33,729
Be my companion
for all eternity.
13
00:00:33,903 --> 00:00:35,557
He had a way about him.
14
00:00:35,731 --> 00:00:37,691
Preternaturally charming,
occasionally thoughtful.
15
00:00:37,776 --> 00:00:40,170
He was my murderer, my mentor,
my lover, and my maker.
16
00:00:40,344 --> 00:00:41,737
All of those things at once.
17
00:00:41,911 --> 00:00:43,956
Claudia was everything.
18
00:00:44,131 --> 00:00:45,784
The life of a vampire
has its challenges.
19
00:00:51,268 --> 00:00:53,575
Can an immortal meet mortality?
20
00:00:53,749 --> 00:00:55,577
Theoretically, it can be done.
21
00:00:55,751 --> 00:00:58,362
But could it be done by us
to him?
22
00:00:58,536 --> 00:01:00,843
Paris was an awakening
for Louis.
23
00:01:00,973 --> 00:01:02,801
Paris was many things
in those days.
24
00:01:05,065 --> 00:01:07,980
-Bonjour, mon amour.
-Are you schizophrenic, Louis?
25
00:01:08,155 --> 00:01:10,853
I could feel the movement
of air with his movements,
26
00:01:11,027 --> 00:01:13,029
his breath on the back
of my neck.
27
00:01:13,203 --> 00:01:15,075
We were on trial for murder.
28
00:01:15,249 --> 00:01:17,686
Love has always been
difficult for me.
29
00:01:17,860 --> 00:01:20,167
My first paramour,
Nicolas de Lenfent, a violinist.
30
00:01:23,431 --> 00:01:24,475
Nicky!
31
00:01:29,524 --> 00:01:30,979
You led him there
so he could destroy it.
32
00:01:31,003 --> 00:01:33,136
-Yes.
-You saved Louis.
33
00:01:33,310 --> 00:01:34,833
Banishment.
34
00:01:35,007 --> 00:01:37,184
But not her.
35
00:01:37,358 --> 00:01:38,576
Who made you?
36
00:01:38,707 --> 00:01:41,318
His name was Magnus.
37
00:01:41,449 --> 00:01:44,539
He took me from my room in Paris
as I kicked and screamed.
38
00:01:44,713 --> 00:01:47,150
The light's going out
of your blue eyes.
39
00:01:47,324 --> 00:01:48,673
I've come to kill you.
40
00:01:48,804 --> 00:01:51,285
I have the blood of Akasha
in me.
41
00:01:51,415 --> 00:01:53,113
He didn't save you.
42
00:01:53,243 --> 00:01:55,158
Lestat did.
43
00:01:55,332 --> 00:01:57,421
I'm guessing you haven't heard
from my maker.
44
00:01:57,552 --> 00:01:59,138
I shouldn't have left you
alone with him.
45
00:01:59,162 --> 00:02:00,835
Make it up to me.
We'll do a follow-up book.
46
00:02:00,859 --> 00:02:02,644
I'm companion enough
for myself now.
47
00:02:02,818 --> 00:02:04,341
I'm sorry,
I don't have much time.
48
00:02:04,515 --> 00:02:06,493
I'm in the middle of rehearsing.
I'm going on tour.
49
00:02:06,517 --> 00:02:09,651
Just need about 50 more years
of practice.

00:03:49,098 --> 00:03:50,185
Good evening.
75
00:03:52,057 --> 00:03:54,669
The house wishes to extend
its gratitude to the gathering
76
00:03:54,756 --> 00:03:58,368
for your compliance with
the unorthodox prerequisites
77
00:03:58,455 --> 00:04:00,631
of tonight's event.
78
00:04:00,718 --> 00:04:03,243
Furthermore,
we wish to reiterate
79
00:04:03,330 --> 00:04:05,288
that the anonymity
that you have granted us
80
00:04:05,419 --> 00:04:07,203
will be given
to you individually
81
00:04:07,334 --> 00:04:11,381
as well as to any institutions
that you are representing.
82
00:04:11,512 --> 00:04:13,427
Stating the obvious,
83
00:04:13,514 --> 00:04:15,777
we are not here
and neither are you.
84
00:04:18,693 --> 00:04:22,063
Lot one of two,
the master recordings
85
00:04:22,087 --> 00:04:24,979
of "The Complete Works of the
Vampire Lestat de Lioncourt,"
86
00:04:25,003 --> 00:04:28,069
which includes
his 2025 self-titled album.
87
00:04:28,093 --> 00:04:29,878
"The Vampire Lestat,"
88
00:04:29,965 --> 00:04:32,010
additional session tracks
that were discarded
89
00:04:32,097 --> 00:04:34,380
in the final assemblage
of the album,
90
00:04:34,404 --> 00:04:37,189
original handwritten scores,
and private recordings
91
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:39,931
by the Vampire Lestat himself,
which include
92
00:04:40,018 --> 00:04:42,760
a song cycle
in the classical vein
93
00:04:42,847 --> 00:04:47,939
set to the poetry of Baudelaire.
94
00:04:48,026 --> 00:04:52,596
Before we begin the bidding,
I perform the following action.
95
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:58,689
Are you kidding me?
96
00:04:58,776 --> 00:05:00,343
Are you serious?
97
00:05:00,430 --> 00:05:02,171
This is very insulting.
98
00:05:02,258 --> 00:05:03,999
Shame on you.
99
00:05:04,086 --> 00:05:07,872
We will begin the bidding
at 1 yuan.
100
00:05:08,003 --> 00:05:11,049
Do I hear 1 yuan?
101
00:05:11,180 --> 00:05:13,313
Yi yuan.
102
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,596
Sold to the gentlewoman
in the third row
103
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:19,319
of good spirit.
104
00:05:19,406 --> 00:05:23,801
Lot number two, a music box
105
00:05:23,888 --> 00:05:26,761
curated by the Vampire Lestat
himself.
106
00:05:26,891 --> 00:05:31,524
A 1978 Ferdinando Meccani
Corinto sideboard.
107
00:05:31,548 --> 00:05:34,769
Inside, a Rossner and Sohn
MOTT turntable
108
00:05:34,899 --> 00:05:38,512
with BeoLab 90 speakers,
109
00:05:38,599 --> 00:05:41,491
two temperature-controlled
wine cabinets,
110
00:05:41,515 --> 00:05:45,910
one holding a bottle
of Niepoort 1863 port wine,
111
00:05:45,997 --> 00:05:47,999
the other with a magnum of blood
112
00:05:48,130 --> 00:05:50,654
from the curator himself.
113
00:05:50,741 --> 00:05:55,006
The upper level,
a singular vinyl pressing
114
00:05:55,093 --> 00:05:58,009
of "The Complete Works of the
Vampire Lestat de Lioncourt,"
115
00:05:58,096 --> 00:06:02,579
previously delineated,
along with 111 albums of audio
116
00:06:02,666 --> 00:06:06,820
best described
as an omniscient history
117
00:06:06,844 --> 00:06:10,457
of the events of the 2025 album
and supporting tour
118
00:06:10,544 --> 00:06:12,870
and the consequential
global catastrophes
119
00:06:12,894 --> 00:06:15,462
that sprung from said album
and tour
120
00:06:15,549 --> 00:06:19,466
as narrated
by the Vampire Lestat himself.
121
00:06:19,553 --> 00:06:24,122
The collection has been named
"The Failures."
122
00:06:24,253 --> 00:06:28,431
We will begin the bidding
at 50 million yuan.
123
00:06:29,780 --> 00:06:32,261
If you are hearing this now,
124
00:06:32,348 --> 00:06:35,395
you must be
a very privileged individual.
125
00:06:35,482 --> 00:06:37,440
You could have fed
a small nation for years
126
00:06:37,527 --> 00:06:39,747
while they paved
over the rubble.
127
00:06:39,834 --> 00:06:41,879
You bought my box instead.
128
00:06:42,010 --> 00:06:44,360
I like you already.
129
00:06:44,447 --> 00:06:46,188
So let's begin in the middle,
130
00:06:46,275 --> 00:06:49,385
for I could and should
have ended it there,
131
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:54,762
my tour, my hedonistic pursuit
of extremity, all of it.
132
00:06:54,892 --> 00:06:57,958
And had I done so,
the regretful dead
133
00:06:57,982 --> 00:07:00,028
and the traumatized still alive
134
00:07:00,158 --> 00:07:03,074
would be somewhere
other than they are today.
135
00:07:03,161 --> 00:07:05,207
And I am not saying
that the attempted extinction
136
00:07:05,294 --> 00:07:07,209
of the Y chromosome
across the continents
137
00:07:07,339 --> 00:07:08,993
was all my fault.
138
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,213
No, that would suggest
a level of self-importance
139
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:12,823
even I'm not comfortable with.
140
00:07:12,910 --> 00:07:17,654
But upon reflection...
yeah, made a contribution.
141
00:07:17,741 --> 00:07:20,962
It was the spring of 2025.
142
00:07:21,049 --> 00:07:24,574
A good nation was
making itself great again,
143
00:07:24,661 --> 00:07:25,923
again.
144
00:07:28,056 --> 00:07:29,449
And every vampire,
145
00:07:29,536 --> 00:07:32,539
those converting
and those enduring,
146
00:07:32,626 --> 00:07:36,717
well, they were doing
exactly as they pleased.

Naturally, I named the band
after myself,
166
00:08:53,184 --> 00:08:55,467
and the four that backed me
played their parts
167
00:08:55,491 --> 00:08:57,251
as instructed.
168
00:08:57,275 --> 00:09:00,104
There was Larry,
the front man made sideman
169
00:09:00,191 --> 00:09:01,671
choking his guitar neck nightly
170
00:09:01,802 --> 00:09:03,891
wishing it was mine.
171
00:09:03,978 --> 00:09:07,087
Brother Alex,
the more talented seedling,
172
00:09:07,111 --> 00:09:09,176
straight-edged and half the fun.
173
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,290
Salamander, bassist, dumb.
174
00:09:12,377 --> 00:09:14,486
Shockingly dumb.
175
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:17,663
And TC, the abandoned bride
of a dozen
176
00:09:17,687 --> 00:09:19,254
"should have died
in art school" bands
177
00:09:19,341 --> 00:09:22,213
keeping us all
in the dirty pocket.
178
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:24,389
We dropped songs
on the streams and booked
179
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,437
intimate venues to induce
what Gen Snooze called FOMO.
180
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:30,807
They came for cosplay,
left converted,
181
00:09:30,831 --> 00:09:33,485
and I baptized them
the Beautiful Unwell.
182
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:35,836
And yet here we were
183
00:09:35,966 --> 00:09:38,815
in the inn of the Stooges
and the Stripes,
184
00:09:38,839 --> 00:09:41,319
30 performances notched,
and already resting
185
00:09:41,450 --> 00:09:43,887
on the alps of adequacy.
186
00:09:43,974 --> 00:09:45,236

-Well, that was boring.
-They seem to like it.
221
00:11:16,763 --> 00:11:18,547
Harmonies on "Plastic Fiends"
were trash.
222
00:11:18,634 --> 00:11:20,070
He's right.
223
00:11:20,157 --> 00:11:21,482
And the front head
on your kick is shimmering.
224
00:11:21,506 --> 00:11:23,310
-Tune it up a step.
-Singer's right.
225
00:11:23,334 --> 00:11:25,685
And you left your tambourine
in its stand, Larry.
226
00:11:25,772 --> 00:11:27,097
Yeah, well,
I was feeling the guitar.
227
00:11:27,121 --> 00:11:29,166
No one is coming
to hear your guitar, Larry.
228
00:11:29,253 --> 00:11:30,622
No, they come
for the Ozzy shtick.
229
00:11:30,646 --> 00:11:32,430
"Dude, rage call
to the Harmony Room.
230
00:11:32,517 --> 00:11:35,477
"Larry Slater's shredding it
tonight," said no one ever.
231
00:11:35,564 --> 00:11:36,913
You sign the checks, singer.
232
00:11:37,044 --> 00:11:38,872
-I do. I do sign the checks.
-Sign this.
233
00:11:39,002 --> 00:11:41,439
The tambourine tomorrow,
as rehearsed and perfected.
234
00:11:41,526 --> 00:11:43,050
-Suck it, singer!
-What am I signing?
235
00:11:43,180 --> 00:11:44,616
-Your night in Corvallis.
-Ah.
236
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:45,942
You're buying the wife
early retirement
237
00:11:45,966 --> 00:11:47,141
and her lawyer a lake boat.
238
00:11:47,228 --> 00:11:48,316
Use the pen.
239
00:11:48,403 --> 00:11:49,597
But it's funny
because it's blood,
240
00:11:49,621 --> 00:11:51,406
and I'm a vampire.
241
00:11:51,493 --> 00:11:53,974
Notaries in Oregon
don't notarize in red ink.
242
00:11:54,061 --> 00:11:56,280
There's the band,
and there's the shell
243
00:11:56,367 --> 00:11:59,825
that protects the band
from the world's envy.
244
00:11:59,849 --> 00:12:02,852
Our band shell was
Christine Claire.
245
00:12:02,939 --> 00:12:06,682
She hired, fired,
dictated, and castrated
246
00:12:06,769 --> 00:12:08,249
with extreme prejudice.
247
00:12:08,379 --> 00:12:09,879
Try your best
not to be you tonight.
248
00:12:09,903 --> 00:12:11,750
-We want the car.
-No.
249
00:12:11,774 --> 00:12:13,863
-We'll be good.
-Corvallis.
250
00:12:13,950 --> 00:12:17,127
Who do you think?
251
00:12:17,214 --> 00:12:18,302
-You.
-Her.
252
00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:19,651
Me?
253
00:12:19,739 --> 00:12:21,305
All right, sluts, out you go.
254
00:12:21,392 --> 00:12:24,656
So I'm going into my
vampire dressing room now.
255
00:12:24,744 --> 00:12:27,137
A little draining, both ways.
256
00:12:27,268 --> 00:12:28,788
You'll have to guess
who gets the fangs
257
00:12:28,835 --> 00:12:30,924
and who gets the vodka bottle.
258
00:12:31,011 --> 00:12:33,055
And yes, it's a vodka bottle.
259
00:12:34,492 --> 00:12:37,147
He did it again.
Fucking asshole.
260
00:12:37,234 --> 00:12:39,715
Did I mention that I was
filming a documentary
261
00:12:39,802 --> 00:12:41,780
at the time, a bootless errand
262
00:12:41,804 --> 00:12:44,024
helmed by a first-time director.
263
00:12:44,154 --> 00:12:46,722
I've seen a rough cut...
truthful and daring
264
00:12:46,809 --> 00:12:48,028
with less Warren Beatty.
265
00:12:48,158 --> 00:12:49,832
-Anyone see Jarda?
-Hey, Jarda, heads up.
266
00:12:49,856 --> 00:12:51,945
♪ From the land
of sky-blue waters ♪
267
00:12:53,903 --> 00:12:56,534
-Ahoj.
-Missing a contact again.
268
00:12:56,558 --> 00:12:58,255
Oh, sakra.
269
00:12:58,342 --> 00:13:00,320
How many drinks have you had?
270
00:13:00,344 --> 00:13:02,216
-1 1/2.
-Drive to the burbs.
271
00:13:02,303 --> 00:13:03,715
Sit by yourself
in a booth at Applebee's.
272
00:13:03,739 --> 00:13:05,828
Order the usual.
Big tip.
273
00:13:05,915 --> 00:13:07,221
Meet us back in the city.
274
00:13:07,308 --> 00:13:09,310
Now, you'd think
a 54-city rock tour
275
00:13:09,397 --> 00:13:11,486
would be a wonderful cover
for a blood drinker.
276
00:13:11,616 --> 00:13:13,227
Hide your kill, hop on the bus,
277
00:13:13,357 --> 00:13:15,359
wave to the morgue reports
in the rear view mirror,
278
00:13:15,446 --> 00:13:16,839
that kind of thing.
279
00:13:16,926 --> 00:13:19,276
But niche celebrity is
a hunter's handicap,
280
00:13:19,363 --> 00:13:21,801
and a sloppy night
in Corvallis made urgent
281
00:13:21,888 --> 00:13:23,106
the need for a body double.
282
00:13:23,237 --> 00:13:24,325
Ahoj!
283
00:13:24,455 --> 00:13:25,935
His name was Jarda Klapek,
284
00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:27,937
and the Albanian gangsters
Christine hired
285
00:13:28,024 --> 00:13:29,634
to find my doppelganger
286
00:13:29,721 --> 00:13:32,812
found him working construction
in the Czech Republic.
287
00:13:32,942 --> 00:13:35,573
Three inches shorter than
your velvet-mouth narrator,
288
00:13:35,597 --> 00:13:39,514
we fit him for lifts,
blue eye contacts, and a wig
289
00:13:39,601 --> 00:13:42,386
and otherwise let him be
Neanderthal me.
290
00:13:42,473 --> 00:13:44,800
I hunted this way,
and we send him that way,
291
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:48,001
and every sad photograph
uploaded to Reddit or Discord
292
00:13:48,131 --> 00:13:51,091
of Jarda eating
a tuna melt by himself
293
00:13:51,178 --> 00:13:54,572
only confirmed for most
what they already believed...
294
00:13:54,703 --> 00:13:56,009
Let's go!
295
00:13:56,139 --> 00:13:57,662
That I, the Vampire Lestat,
296
00:13:57,749 --> 00:14:01,057
was Daniel Molloy's
fictitious creation,
297
00:14:01,144 --> 00:14:03,059
and The Vampire Lestat,
the band, was fronted
298
00:14:03,146 --> 00:14:06,454
by a bricklaying
karaoke fanatic from Ostrava,
299
00:14:06,584 --> 00:14:08,456
nothing but a desperate
cash grab at the end
300
00:14:08,543 --> 00:14:10,588
of a cheugy vampire fad.
301
00:14:10,675 --> 00:14:12,435
And I've only myself to blame
for the timing,
302
00:14:12,503 --> 00:14:14,027
having locked us in an attic
303
00:14:14,157 --> 00:14:16,333
for a year-plus
perfecting our sound,
304
00:14:16,464 --> 00:14:19,684
a sound I hoped would counter
Mr. du Lac's portrayal of me
305
00:14:19,815 --> 00:14:22,600
as a mayonnaise villain
with sociopathic tendencies.
306
00:14:24,515 --> 00:14:26,778
All beside the point,
because the point was,
307
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:28,171
the point forever is...
308
00:14:28,302 --> 00:14:29,651
I know you're real.
309
00:14:29,738 --> 00:14:32,436
Most of humanity
moved on from vampires,
310
00:14:32,523 --> 00:14:33,785
and rather quickly.
311
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:36,092
Congratulations.
312
00:14:36,179 --> 00:14:38,486
Now go make friends.
313
00:14:38,573 --> 00:14:39,791
They lifted their heads
314
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:41,813
from their algorithmic
hand masters,
315
00:14:41,837 --> 00:14:45,972
uttered a collective "huh,"
and swiped left.
316
00:14:46,059 --> 00:14:48,583
I am the Vampire Lestat.
317
00:14:48,670 --> 00:14:50,498
I am a god.
318
00:14:50,628 --> 00:14:54,589
Gods are not swiped.
319
00:14:54,676 --> 00:14:56,175
The Cuntessa.
320
00:14:56,199 --> 00:14:57,940
The useful idiot.
321
00:14:58,027 --> 00:14:59,594
Great show.
322
00:14:59,681 --> 00:15:02,138
You left before we started.
323
00:15:02,162 --> 00:15:04,357
Yeah, I figured,
Spotify some T. Rex
324
00:15:04,381 --> 00:15:06,644
and drag a little O neg
from Dr. Fareed-Good here,
325
00:15:06,775 --> 00:15:07,839
same diff.
326
00:15:07,863 --> 00:15:09,169
I am not here.
327
00:15:09,299 --> 00:15:10,518
Can we mic you?
328
00:15:10,648 --> 00:15:12,172
TC punched the boom again.
329
00:15:12,302 --> 00:15:14,000
Yeah. OK.
330
00:15:19,527 --> 00:15:23,376
So, uh, you and Louis
talking again?
331
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,837
He doesn't return my texts
332
00:15:25,968 --> 00:15:28,947
or my telepathy.
333
00:15:28,971 --> 00:15:31,104
I hear he's back in the States.
334
00:15:32,844 --> 00:15:34,629
-We good?
-We're good.
335
00:15:34,716 --> 00:15:36,781
Slate.
336
00:15:36,805 --> 00:15:40,548
OK.
337
00:15:40,635 --> 00:15:43,899
You've been alive and undead
for 265 years.
338
00:15:44,030 --> 00:15:46,989
You witnessed the French
Revolution firsthand,
339
00:15:47,076 --> 00:15:48,730
the electric light, penicillin,
340
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:50,969
two World Wars, the atomic bomb,
341
00:15:50,993 --> 00:15:52,821
the moon landing,
the Berlin Wall...
342
00:15:52,952 --> 00:15:54,277
Joey Chestnut.
343
00:15:54,301 --> 00:15:55,476
What?
344
00:15:55,606 --> 00:15:57,086
He eats hot dogs for a living.
345
00:15:57,217 --> 00:15:58,934
He's extraordinary.
I hope to meet him one day.
346
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:00,413
Was there a question?
347
00:16:00,437 --> 00:16:02,372
Having accumulated
profound wisdom and experience
348
00:16:02,396 --> 00:16:04,678
through the dark gift
of immortality,
349
00:16:04,702 --> 00:16:07,705
why have you chosen
to waste it singing music
350
00:16:07,792 --> 00:16:09,335
no one wants to hear
351
00:16:09,359 --> 00:16:11,709
in pants no one should
ever squeeze into?
352
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,383
You ask this question
every night.
353
00:16:13,407 --> 00:16:14,862
And I get a different answer
every night.
354
00:16:14,886 --> 00:16:17,082
You'll get me to repeat
myself soon enough, I am sure,
355
00:16:17,106 --> 00:16:19,282
once you confront
your transformational trauma.
356
00:16:19,369 --> 00:16:21,434
I don't have
transformational trauma.
357
00:16:21,458 --> 00:16:23,983
Mm, that's why these
movie producers hired you,
358
00:16:24,070 --> 00:16:26,420
Daniel Molloy, Vampire Slayer.
359
00:16:26,507 --> 00:16:28,137
They said you requested me.
360
00:16:28,161 --> 00:16:29,336
Absurd.
361
00:16:29,466 --> 00:16:31,120
Oh, as absurd as a documentary
362
00:16:31,207 --> 00:16:34,167
about a rock band
posing as vampires
363
00:16:34,297 --> 00:16:36,232
fronted by an actual vampire?
364
00:16:36,256 --> 00:16:38,606
Directed by a vampire
passing as a human.
365
00:16:38,693 --> 00:16:41,174
You tell him, Fareed.
366
00:16:41,261 --> 00:16:44,568
Is it true you were
a stutterer as a child?
367
00:16:44,655 --> 00:16:47,223
Louis said you were.
368
00:16:51,532 --> 00:16:53,621
Was he there
in 18th-century Auvergne?
369
00:16:53,708 --> 00:16:54,902
He said you told him that.
370
00:16:54,926 --> 00:16:57,233
Did I threaten Claudia
with rape on a train?
371
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,495
Was I in the room
372
00:16:58,582 --> 00:17:01,455
when Donizetti wrote
"Don Pasquale"?
373
00:17:01,542 --> 00:17:04,240
No, no, and impossible,
374
00:17:04,371 --> 00:17:06,677
because I had
buried myself underground
375
00:17:06,764 --> 00:17:08,699
for the vast majority
of the 1800s.
376
00:17:08,723 --> 00:17:10,464
I wrote what he told me.
377
00:17:10,551 --> 00:17:13,467
I don't have trauma,
I love being a vampire,
378
00:17:13,554 --> 00:17:16,165
and can you drop
the Fledgling Speak & Spell?
379
00:17:23,085 --> 00:17:26,697
The dark, dreary
industrial world
380
00:17:26,784 --> 00:17:31,069
has finally submitted
to automation.
381
00:17:31,093 --> 00:17:34,029
Laborers stand in their doorways
382
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:37,230
hitting their pipes
as their children half-pipe
383
00:17:37,317 --> 00:17:40,450
in their drained,
empty swimming pools.
384
00:17:40,537 --> 00:17:44,193
Drug stores locked up
baby formula and shaving cream
385
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,632
while Saks ate Barneys
and someone told everyone
386
00:17:48,719 --> 00:17:51,983
that Lululemon was sexy.
387
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:55,117
Facts are irrelevant.
388
00:17:55,204 --> 00:17:58,294
Feels are everything.
389
00:17:58,381 --> 00:18:01,297
And the value of human life,
390
00:18:01,384 --> 00:18:05,040
it has never been
more arbitrary.
391
00:18:05,127 --> 00:18:10,350
David, Freddie, Prince Rogers,
they're all gone,
392
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,657
and the lights
on Tay Tay's eras have dimmed.
393
00:18:13,744 --> 00:18:16,443
Fire coming down the hill,
394
00:18:16,573 --> 00:18:20,969
water moving in on Nantucket.
395
00:18:21,056 --> 00:18:25,036
No more safe spaces.
396
00:18:25,060 --> 00:18:27,715
It's my era now.
397
00:18:30,805 --> 00:18:33,547
Post Malone and Jelly Roll
playing there tonight.
398
00:18:33,634 --> 00:18:36,376
60,000 for Face Tattoo Palooza.
399
00:18:36,463 --> 00:18:38,919
You played an 800-seat venue.
400
00:18:38,943 --> 00:18:40,206
How is it your era?
401
00:18:43,383 --> 00:18:45,341
I'm vain and shallow
and fear an empty seat.
402
00:18:45,428 --> 00:18:47,996
Ask me an easy one.
403
00:18:48,083 --> 00:18:52,609
Is it true your band was
formed on Halloween?
404
00:18:57,962 --> 00:18:59,920
You are listening
to "The Failures"...
405
00:19:01,531 --> 00:19:03,533
Album 2, Side B.
406
00:19:26,904 --> 00:19:28,428
What do you think?
407
00:19:28,515 --> 00:19:29,994
It's nice.
408
00:19:30,125 --> 00:19:32,432
-Nice?
-Yeah. It's nice.
409
00:19:32,562 --> 00:19:34,279
I don't... I don't see
Beyoncé covering it.
410
00:19:34,303 --> 00:19:37,132
But it's nice.
411
00:19:37,219 --> 00:19:38,544
Nice is nothing.
412
00:19:38,568 --> 00:19:40,918
-Oh, it... it's nice...
-Nice is a balloon.
413
00:19:41,005 --> 00:19:41,982
That you're back writing music.
414
00:19:42,006 --> 00:19:43,530
A flower box is nice.
415
00:19:43,617 --> 00:19:45,401
It's nice that you
got yourself a nice place.
416
00:19:45,488 --> 00:19:47,142
It's a nice word,
417
00:19:47,273 --> 00:19:49,231
and it says everything
I wanted to express.
418
00:19:49,318 --> 00:19:52,732
Don't be a bitch about it.
419
00:19:52,756 --> 00:19:54,889
You should come visit.
420
00:19:54,976 --> 00:19:57,718
I have a space above the bed
in one of the guest rooms
421
00:19:57,848 --> 00:19:59,522
I can't find a painting for.
422
00:19:59,546 --> 00:20:01,330
Oh, the guest room.
423
00:20:01,461 --> 00:20:03,593
You want me to come
and see your guest room.
424
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,508
It's an affluent neighborhood.
425
00:20:05,595 --> 00:20:08,076
Old money, young professionals,
426
00:20:08,163 --> 00:20:10,252
a smattering
of criss-de-trust-fund-bébé.
427
00:20:10,383 --> 00:20:14,213
Mmm, good eating.
428
00:20:14,343 --> 00:20:18,042
Same potholes,
but no hurricanes,
429
00:20:18,129 --> 00:20:20,282
no witches.
430
00:20:20,306 --> 00:20:23,744
And everyone mangles French
just like you do.
431
00:20:23,831 --> 00:20:24,982
Come to me.
432
00:20:25,006 --> 00:20:26,703
Montreal.
433
00:20:26,790 --> 00:20:29,184
I am he, and he is me.
434
00:20:29,271 --> 00:20:31,902
Less baggage here.
435
00:20:31,926 --> 00:20:34,711
I get it. I get it.
436
00:20:34,798 --> 00:20:39,238
Besides, there's an Olmsted
park nearby if I get homesick,
437
00:20:39,325 --> 00:20:42,893
and there's a garage band
rehearsing across the street
438
00:20:42,980 --> 00:20:47,855
who call themselves,
of all things, Satan...
439
00:20:47,942 --> 00:20:50,573
They call themselves
Of All Things Satan?
440
00:20:50,597 --> 00:20:52,076
Satan's Night Ou...
441
00:20:52,207 --> 00:20:53,576
Sat... Satan's Night Owl?
442
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,732
Out. Satan's Night Out.
443
00:20:55,819 --> 00:20:57,473
OK. Makes sense.
444
00:20:57,604 --> 00:21:01,477
Louis, do you know someone
called Daniel Molloy?
445
00:21:01,608 --> 00:21:03,044
Uh...
446
00:21:03,174 --> 00:21:04,698
I burned his laptop!
447
00:21:04,785 --> 00:21:06,526
I didn't know he had it
saved in the cloud.
448
00:21:06,656 --> 00:21:08,373
I only found out
it was coming out a month ago.
449
00:21:08,397 --> 00:21:09,442
You've known for a month?
450
00:21:09,572 --> 00:21:11,115
And you talk about me in it
to a mortal?
451
00:21:11,139 --> 00:21:12,401
Well, yeah.
452
00:21:12,488 --> 00:21:14,795
Yeah, kind of... but, you know...
453
00:21:14,882 --> 00:21:16,579
No, I don't know, Louis.
454
00:21:16,710 --> 00:21:18,538
Please explain yourself.
455
00:21:18,668 --> 00:21:20,366
It's gonna be here and gone
in a minute.
456
00:21:20,496 --> 00:21:21,671
No one reads anymore.
457
00:21:41,038 --> 00:21:42,649
Mm.
458
00:22:02,625 --> 00:22:03,670
Oh.
459
00:22:05,802 --> 00:22:07,021
No, thank you!
460
00:22:11,721 --> 00:22:14,768
Oh.
461
00:22:14,855 --> 00:22:17,858
Oh, I know
what infinitesimal means!
462
00:22:19,381 --> 00:22:20,402
It was raining.
463
00:22:20,426 --> 00:22:21,426
No!
464
00:22:21,470 --> 00:22:22,515
No.
465
00:22:22,602 --> 00:22:27,737
Never fucking...
466
00:22:27,824 --> 00:22:29,043
Liar!
467
00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:31,262
I'm not a harlequin.
468
00:22:31,393 --> 00:22:33,700
Your sources are your sherpas.
469
00:22:33,787 --> 00:22:36,311
Your editor is your priest.
470
00:22:36,442 --> 00:22:37,530
Don't go to the F.
471
00:22:38,966 --> 00:22:41,490
G sus out.
Why must you complicate it?
472
00:22:41,621 --> 00:22:43,405
Mm.
473
00:22:43,492 --> 00:22:45,581
All: Trick or treat.
474
00:22:45,712 --> 00:22:48,081
Candy, please.
475
00:22:48,105 --> 00:22:50,673
Hello.
476
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,085
Bon Halloween.
477
00:22:52,109 --> 00:22:54,764
Oh, I wanted the full-size bar.
478
00:22:54,895 --> 00:22:55,939
Is that it?
479
00:22:57,898 --> 00:23:00,422
-Thank you.
-Oh.
480
00:23:00,509 --> 00:23:03,382
Your camera is not
period correct.
481
00:23:03,469 --> 00:23:04,818
I have a peanut allergy.
482
00:23:04,905 --> 00:23:07,710
Well, allergies are delusional.
483
00:23:07,734 --> 00:23:08,996
I'll take the Mounds.
484
00:23:09,083 --> 00:23:11,191
You'll take whatever I give you!
485
00:23:11,215 --> 00:23:12,956
That guy was mean.
486
00:23:32,019 --> 00:23:35,500
Not... not the F!
487
00:23:48,644 --> 00:23:49,752
Come on, Larry!
488
00:23:49,776 --> 00:23:52,518
Yeah!
489
00:24:03,616 --> 00:24:04,878
Dude, what the fuck?
490
00:24:05,008 --> 00:24:10,840
G minor sus out!
491
00:24:10,927 --> 00:24:12,581
This isn't 1979.
492
00:24:12,712 --> 00:24:14,559
Bela Lugosi is not dead.
493
00:24:14,583 --> 00:24:18,041
You don't need to finger her
for five bars.
494
00:24:18,065 --> 00:24:20,023
You're hurting her.
495
00:24:20,154 --> 00:24:22,461
-Is that our neighbor?
-Um, yeah.
496
00:24:22,548 --> 00:24:24,680
Apologies for the Squier.
497
00:24:24,811 --> 00:24:27,224
My man Arturo will come
in the morning
498
00:24:27,248 --> 00:24:28,965
with a replacement
499
00:24:28,989 --> 00:24:31,731
and a new front door.
500
00:24:31,818 --> 00:24:34,753
More frequent showers.
501
00:24:34,777 --> 00:24:35,996
Thank you.
502
00:24:39,216 --> 00:24:40,652
What was the question again?
503
00:24:41,610 --> 00:24:42,829
Why music?
504
00:24:42,916 --> 00:24:44,874
Hey. Hey.
505
00:24:45,005 --> 00:24:46,702
Why now?
506
00:24:46,789 --> 00:24:48,051
Dude, that was sick.
507
00:24:48,138 --> 00:24:51,446
What are we doing here?
508
00:24:51,577 --> 00:24:54,405
We're doing a rewrite.
509
00:24:54,536 --> 00:24:58,845
So this whole tour
is just some Byronic reaction
510
00:24:58,932 --> 00:25:00,170
to my book?
511
00:25:00,194 --> 00:25:02,413
Who better to refute the book
512
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:04,217
than the man who wrote the book?
513
00:25:04,241 --> 00:25:06,983
Mm, well,
the songs are my story,
514
00:25:07,070 --> 00:25:08,681
your documentary
the liner notes.
515
00:25:08,768 --> 00:25:09,962
Liner notes?
516
00:25:09,986 --> 00:25:11,901
I won two Pulitzers.
517
00:25:11,988 --> 00:25:14,730
I'm taking this thing
to Cannes, OK?
518
00:25:14,817 --> 00:25:16,732
I'm gonna be slapping Chris Rock
519
00:25:16,819 --> 00:25:19,082
and stroking my Oscar.
520
00:25:19,213 --> 00:25:21,432
The brat sings, the brat dies.
521
00:25:21,563 --> 00:25:22,999
The Great Laws
are clear on this.
522
00:25:24,871 --> 00:25:27,569
More exposure for us,
more risk for us.
523
00:25:31,921 --> 00:25:33,662
He sings for himself.
524
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:36,883
Make more!
525
00:25:36,970 --> 00:25:38,580
Only a coven leader
can make more.
526
00:25:38,711 --> 00:25:40,669
The Great Laws
are clear on that.
527
00:25:40,756 --> 00:25:43,150
First the book, now the singer.
528
00:25:43,237 --> 00:25:44,325

Pick up the fucking tambourine!

From the alps of adequacy
to the canyon of coup d'etat,
571
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:17,233
two nights in a row, my violin
competing with his guitar
572
00:29:17,364 --> 00:29:18,820
for the solo break.
573
00:29:18,844 --> 00:29:22,064
Two centuries waiting
to share my music,
574
00:29:22,151 --> 00:29:25,285
two years as Mr. du Lac's
B-movie brute.
575
00:29:27,461 --> 00:29:30,092
But just as I was about
to bridge the bridge
576
00:29:30,116 --> 00:29:32,683
with murder and mayhem,
577
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:35,774
something quite surprising
happened.
578
00:29:35,861 --> 00:29:39,995
My music wrapped itself
around me like a jungle snake
579
00:29:40,082 --> 00:29:41,997
constricting its prey,
580
00:29:42,128 --> 00:29:44,217
and a lifetime
of blood bartering
581
00:29:44,304 --> 00:29:47,437
overwhelmed the temporal lobe.
582
00:29:47,568 --> 00:29:51,050
Muses appeared in my mind
and in the now around me.
583
00:29:53,792 --> 00:29:56,837
Memories taking their turn.
584
00:29:59,536 --> 00:30:03,279
Blood in, blood out.
585
00:30:06,239 --> 00:30:09,242
Hammering away at the
performative vampire persona
586
00:30:09,372 --> 00:30:11,635
I had welded into armor.
587
00:30:14,551 --> 00:30:15,944
The armor cracked.
588
00:30:18,642 --> 00:30:21,621
The bridge buckled.
589
00:30:21,645 --> 00:30:26,389
And the bona fide vampire
emerged center stage.
590
00:30:26,476 --> 00:30:30,480
It was I who had been adequate.
591
00:30:30,567 --> 00:30:34,658
It was I who had been
holding us back,
592
00:30:34,789 --> 00:30:38,271
and now, exposed in the raw
593
00:30:38,358 --> 00:30:41,578
under the white hot lights,
594
00:30:41,665 --> 00:30:44,364

was finally unleashed,
598
00:30:52,415 --> 00:30:56,115

spilling into the crowd,

Not her.
616
00:31:47,122 --> 00:31:48,210
Me.
617
00:31:48,341 --> 00:31:50,082

00:31:59,569 --> 00:32:01,920
Can't OD on a candy plate.

What the hell were you doing?
624
00:32:04,357 --> 00:32:07,012
I should have quit
right there and then.
625
00:32:07,099 --> 00:32:10,450
Would have been a lovely
footnote to my life, the band,
626
00:32:10,537 --> 00:32:13,192
but the muses
were just beginning.
627
00:32:14,758 --> 00:32:16,891
You done this to me?
628
00:32:16,978 --> 00:32:19,241
-What are you doing?
-Calling 9-1-1.
629
00:32:19,328 --> 00:32:22,549
I lost myself on stage
for a moment.
630
00:32:22,636 --> 00:32:26,572
Seems you still lost.
631
00:32:26,596 --> 00:32:28,816
These songs gonna kill you.
You know that, don't you?
632
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:30,339
I can't die.
633
00:32:30,426 --> 00:32:32,254
Everything dies.
634
00:32:32,341 --> 00:32:35,127
You die. I die.
635
00:32:35,214 --> 00:32:36,867
She dies.
636
00:32:36,998 --> 00:32:38,410
She dies.
637
00:32:38,434 --> 00:32:39,913
Oh, he dies bad.
638
00:32:42,177 --> 00:32:43,874
I'm immortal.
639
00:32:44,005 --> 00:32:46,418
Yeah, you kill some wolves
and fall in love.
640
00:32:46,442 --> 00:32:48,488
Get the gift, fall in love.
641
00:32:48,575 --> 00:32:51,423
Go to ground, get dug up,
and fall in love.
642
00:32:51,447 --> 00:32:53,797
You're like some wet clothes
in a coin op dryer,
643
00:32:53,928 --> 00:32:57,366
just 265 years round and round.
644
00:32:58,585 --> 00:33:00,955
Why you so sad?
645
00:33:00,979 --> 00:33:02,763
Thousands of fans loving you.
646
00:33:02,893 --> 00:33:05,113
I want millions.
647
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,335
And that'll top off
that heart of yours?
648
00:33:09,422 --> 00:33:11,119
Billions.
649
00:33:11,206 --> 00:33:13,992
Then why you always gotta
make it so hard
650
00:33:14,122 --> 00:33:15,558
for someone to give it to you?
651
00:33:15,645 --> 00:33:17,604
Huh?
652
00:33:17,691 --> 00:33:18,798
Who told you that?
653
00:33:18,822 --> 00:33:20,520
Don't worry.
654
00:33:20,607 --> 00:33:22,759
They comin'.
655
00:33:22,783 --> 00:33:24,045
Who's coming?
656
00:33:24,176 --> 00:33:26,264
Oh, they gonna tell you
themselves.
657
00:33:27,875 --> 00:33:28,963
Who's coming?
658
00:33:29,094 --> 00:33:29,920
Great show tonight.
659
00:33:30,051 --> 00:33:31,051
Who?
660
00:33:35,187 --> 00:33:37,102
You are listening
to "The Failures,".
661
00:33:37,232 --> 00:33:38,929
Album 5, Side B.
662
00:33:40,844 --> 00:33:44,152
If you take nothing else away
from your exorbitant purchase,
663
00:33:44,283 --> 00:33:46,024
heed this advice.
664
00:33:46,111 --> 00:33:49,655
Never play two nights
in Detroit.
665
00:33:49,679 --> 00:33:52,204
You'll wind up in Windsor
with a broken orbital bone
666
00:33:52,334 --> 00:33:54,814
listening to transactional sex
through the adjoining walls.
667
00:33:56,382 --> 00:33:58,403
How I came
to this squalid real estate
668
00:33:58,427 --> 00:34:01,126
is the premise of Side B,
Album 5, so...
669
00:34:03,084 --> 00:34:05,173
Uh-huh, come!
670
00:34:06,783 --> 00:34:08,423
Now, the boutique hotel
we were staying at
671
00:34:08,481 --> 00:34:10,744
was having a grand-ish opening
that night,
672
00:34:10,831 --> 00:34:12,833
and the band was asked
to lend its celebrity status
673
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,028
to the event.
674
00:34:14,052 --> 00:34:15,618
Don't tell me to pose.
675
00:34:15,749 --> 00:34:17,142
Fuck you.
676
00:34:17,229 --> 00:34:19,231
There was a red carpet,
a pap line,
677
00:34:19,361 --> 00:34:21,537
and a vampire DJ of some renown
678
00:34:21,668 --> 00:34:24,149
seducing corporate employees,
provincial influencers,
679
00:34:24,236 --> 00:34:25,933
and party crashing
Beautifully Unwell.
680
00:34:26,064 --> 00:34:27,674
Move faster. Thank you.
Thank you.
681
00:34:27,804 --> 00:34:30,348
I was having sex
in an elevator with Dee
682
00:34:30,372 --> 00:34:32,940
and the girl I had just
overindulged myself with
683
00:34:33,027 --> 00:34:34,613
earlier in the night.
684
00:34:34,637 --> 00:34:38,554
Actually, that happens...
later.
685
00:34:38,641 --> 00:34:39,879
A lot of things happened
that night.
686
00:34:39,903 --> 00:34:41,122
Huh.
687
00:34:41,253 --> 00:34:42,613
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on!
688
00:34:45,779 --> 00:34:49,652
The band is inside with Dan
in the VIP perch.
689
00:34:49,739 --> 00:34:52,501
I'm giving the paps my pussycat
690
00:34:52,525 --> 00:34:54,245
with no idea that I would be
in a fang fight
691
00:34:54,309 --> 00:34:55,441
less than an hour later.
692
00:34:56,616 --> 00:34:57,965
No, no, no, no.
693
00:34:58,052 --> 00:35:00,030
I'm getting
ahead of myself again.
694
00:35:00,054 --> 00:35:02,752
I arrive fashionably late,
of course.
695
00:35:02,839 --> 00:35:04,078
State your name for the camera.
696
00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:05,581
Baby Jenks.
697
00:35:05,712 --> 00:35:09,716
OK, Baby, tell me, why do you
like The Vampire Lestat?
698
00:35:09,803 --> 00:35:11,239
Like, I'm gonna be in the movie?
699
00:35:11,326 --> 00:35:12,806
Oh, you're in it now.
700
00:35:12,893 --> 00:35:16,375
I am feeling good.
701
00:35:16,462 --> 00:35:18,681
Surfing the sublime
candy-flipped wave
702
00:35:18,768 --> 00:35:19,813
of the girl's blood.
703
00:35:19,943 --> 00:35:22,250
You're him.
You're that voice.
704
00:35:22,337 --> 00:35:24,663
The girl is feeling good...
Wow.
705
00:35:24,687 --> 00:35:26,689
Riding the wonders
of Dr. Fareed's
706
00:35:26,776 --> 00:35:29,083
blood transfusion
quick pick-me-up cocktail.
707
00:35:29,170 --> 00:35:30,887
Who's that guy, 'cause, like,
708
00:35:30,911 --> 00:35:32,782
rock and roll, it's dying.
709
00:35:32,869 --> 00:35:35,674
I sat there
soaking up her praise
710
00:35:35,698 --> 00:35:37,918
along with the band,
still somehow blind
711
00:35:38,005 --> 00:35:40,790
to the vampiric mysteries
of their front man.
712
00:35:40,877 --> 00:35:42,966
So what if the dead
and buried past
713
00:35:43,053 --> 00:35:45,317
was now a fresh
and eager groupie?
714
00:35:45,447 --> 00:35:47,014
It's rock and roll, you know?
715
00:35:47,101 --> 00:35:48,861
Have a nervous breakdown
onstage,
716
00:35:48,885 --> 00:35:50,191
chat it up
with the floating girl
717
00:35:50,278 --> 00:35:51,845
on the ceiling
you almost killed,
718
00:35:51,975 --> 00:35:53,673
have sex with her
in the elevator...
719
00:35:53,803 --> 00:35:54,923
ah, I'm still not there yet.
720
00:35:56,197 --> 00:35:58,808
MDMA and LSD,
721
00:35:58,895 --> 00:36:00,984
the Torvill and Dean
of hallucinogenics.
722
00:36:01,071 --> 00:36:02,231
And so then everybody's like,
723
00:36:02,290 --> 00:36:04,205
is rock and roll actually dying?
724
00:36:04,292 --> 00:36:06,729
Were you a stutterer as a child?
725
00:36:06,860 --> 00:36:08,644
They walk into the ER.
726
00:36:08,731 --> 00:36:12,755
They are, like, the doctor,
and Lestat's the scalpel.
727
00:36:12,779 --> 00:36:15,434
I'm the scalpel.
Print the T-shirts.
728
00:36:15,564 --> 00:36:18,872
And so he, the scalpel,
729
00:36:18,959 --> 00:36:23,442
cuts into rock and roll's heart
like he cut into mine tonight.
730
00:36:23,529 --> 00:36:26,314
And he has the heart
in his mouth.
731
00:36:26,401 --> 00:36:29,665
He's like, "Do you wanna fuck?"
732
00:36:29,752 --> 00:36:32,712
And rock and roll is like,
"Yes, bitch!"
733
00:36:32,842 --> 00:36:35,541
I excused myself
to the men's room.
734
00:36:35,671 --> 00:36:37,847
Didn't read about
vampire physiology
735
00:36:37,934 --> 00:36:39,893
in Mr. du Lac's memoir,
did you?
736
00:36:39,980 --> 00:36:42,785
No mention of the scars
on my chest either.
737
00:36:42,809 --> 00:36:45,420
Hair stopping
way above my shoulders.
738
00:36:45,507 --> 00:36:47,727
And just for the record,
no ticket pocket of mine
739
00:36:47,814 --> 00:36:49,729
ever had his initials
inscribed onto them.
740
00:36:49,816 --> 00:36:51,774
I mean,
these are the editorial wags
741
00:36:51,861 --> 00:36:53,514
of an insane person.
742
00:36:55,517 --> 00:36:58,303
Note to self, edit that out
in the final version.
743
00:36:58,433 --> 00:36:59,671
Starting again.
744
00:36:59,695 --> 00:37:01,436
Vampires pee.
745
00:37:01,567 --> 00:37:03,003
We don't do it
as often as you do,
746
00:37:03,090 --> 00:37:04,850
assuming you're not one of us.
747
00:37:04,874 --> 00:37:07,877
And we generally avoid
eco-friendly urinals.
748
00:37:11,490 --> 00:37:12,969
Mm.
749
00:37:17,409 --> 00:37:20,890
Detroit.
750
00:37:36,428 --> 00:37:38,710
Name's Tim.
751
00:37:38,734 --> 00:37:42,390
-She's Rus.
-They're Rus.
752
00:37:42,521 --> 00:37:44,479
-Pronouns.
-Mm.
753
00:37:44,610 --> 00:37:49,745
And yet it's respectful,
like silence at a urinal.
754
00:37:49,876 --> 00:37:52,879
Things got a bit crossed
755
00:37:52,966 --> 00:37:54,846
when we were minding each other
the other night.
756
00:37:54,968 --> 00:37:57,903
Rus here has a hot mouth.
757
00:37:57,927 --> 00:38:00,756
And a strong pelvic floor.
758
00:38:00,843 --> 00:38:02,628
I admire your aim.
759
00:38:02,758 --> 00:38:03,996
Mm.
760
00:38:04,020 --> 00:38:05,413
"Long Face" sucks.
761
00:38:05,544 --> 00:38:08,329
Rus wanted to apologize.
762
00:38:09,417 --> 00:38:11,917
But "Black Licorice,".
763
00:38:11,941 --> 00:38:15,641
"Why Do I Have to Feel,"
764
00:38:15,728 --> 00:38:17,836
I like those ones.
765
00:38:17,860 --> 00:38:20,210
"Frankly, Mr. Shankly" almost
ruined "The Queen Is Dead."
766
00:38:20,341 --> 00:38:23,953
Apology accepted.
767
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,608
We have a coven
out here in Detroit.
768
00:38:26,739 --> 00:38:28,609
-Do you?
-The Fang Gang.
769
00:38:30,046 --> 00:38:31,966
You want to see a real
vampire bar, come with us.
770
00:38:32,962 --> 00:38:34,562
We have a huge house
out past Brightmoor.
771
00:38:34,616 --> 00:38:37,315
Our own farm
under the floorboards.
772
00:38:37,402 --> 00:38:40,709
Hmm, sure.
What about tomorrow night?
773
00:38:40,796 --> 00:38:42,798
You're on the road
tomorrow night.
774
00:38:42,929 --> 00:38:46,019
Yes.
That was me being polite.
775
00:38:46,106 --> 00:38:48,326
No, that was you lying.
776
00:38:49,718 --> 00:38:51,198
Eco-friendly urinals.
777
00:38:51,285 --> 00:38:53,635
Good for the planet,
so we're told.
778
00:38:53,722 --> 00:38:56,246
Good for vampires? Hmm.
779
00:38:56,334 --> 00:38:58,292
We chardonnay them.
780
00:39:03,036 --> 00:39:06,474
And then
there's regional vampires.
781
00:39:06,605 --> 00:39:10,130
Always trying to make
a name for themselves.
782
00:39:10,217 --> 00:39:11,958
I chardonnay them, too.
783
00:39:12,088 --> 00:39:13,655
Obligations, I'm afraid.
784
00:39:13,742 --> 00:39:16,223
But please do send
my most sincere bonjour
785
00:39:16,310 --> 00:39:17,964
to your Brightmoorish coven.
786
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:23,317
Lilac.
787
00:39:37,070 --> 00:39:38,961
I have a blind spot
788
00:39:38,985 --> 00:39:40,987
when it comes
to blood poisoning.
789
00:39:41,074 --> 00:39:42,336
You'd think a vampire
790
00:39:42,423 --> 00:39:43,859
of my stature would know better.
791
00:39:43,946 --> 00:39:45,097
But then
there's that old saying.
792
00:39:45,121 --> 00:39:46,906
You fool me once, shame on me.
793
00:39:46,993 --> 00:39:51,780
You fool me twice, MDMA
and LSD are excellent drugs.
794
00:39:51,867 --> 00:39:53,521
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.
795
00:39:53,608 --> 00:39:55,915
Twirl, twirl.
796
00:39:56,002 --> 00:39:57,090
Overshare.
797
00:39:57,220 --> 00:39:58,700
I saw your soul.
798
00:39:58,831 --> 00:40:00,920
I saw yours, too.
799
00:40:04,358 --> 00:40:08,623
Still feeling good,
I went looking for my band,
800
00:40:08,754 --> 00:40:11,191
looking for sex,
looking for anything
801
00:40:11,278 --> 00:40:13,019
that radiated the fun
that I sang about
802
00:40:13,106 --> 00:40:16,196
in my song, "Long Face."
803
00:40:16,326 --> 00:40:18,416
And then...
804
00:40:18,503 --> 00:40:20,896
Regionals.
805
00:40:20,983 --> 00:40:22,942
Wait, did she say
that "Long Face" sucked?
806
00:40:23,029 --> 00:40:24,683
"Long Face" sucks.
807
00:40:24,813 --> 00:40:26,075
Does it suck?
808
00:40:26,162 --> 00:40:27,337
I wondered.
809
00:40:27,468 --> 00:40:29,296
Did she have a point?
810
00:40:29,383 --> 00:40:32,734
And then I thought, ooh,
they want a little scrap
811
00:40:32,865 --> 00:40:34,388
with the scalpel.
812
00:40:34,475 --> 00:40:35,650
No worries, I thought.
813
00:40:35,737 --> 00:40:37,173
I have the Queen's blood in me.
814
00:40:37,260 --> 00:40:38,871
I could take
20 regionals at once
815
00:40:39,001 --> 00:40:41,264
with the Queen's blood.
816
00:40:41,395 --> 00:40:44,374
Where's the band, Dan?
817
00:40:44,398 --> 00:40:45,486
They called
818
00:40:45,573 --> 00:40:48,228
corporate bullshit.
819
00:40:48,315 --> 00:40:51,860
Went to party upstairs.
820
00:40:51,884 --> 00:40:54,495
So I'm scoring dick pills
in Mogadishu
821
00:40:54,582 --> 00:40:56,192
for a UN peacekeeper
822
00:40:56,279 --> 00:40:58,368
when in walks Stewart Copeland
823
00:40:58,499 --> 00:41:01,067
wearing a kufi
and a mouthful of ammo.
824
00:41:01,154 --> 00:41:02,155
So I thought about
825
00:41:02,242 --> 00:41:03,765
having sex with Christine,
826
00:41:03,852 --> 00:41:06,507
and then I thought,
that's all the way upstairs.
827
00:41:06,638 --> 00:41:09,379
And then I thought,
I'm the scalpel.
828
00:41:09,467 --> 00:41:12,861
What does the scalpel do
between here and upstairs?
829
00:41:15,255 --> 00:41:20,086
Mr. du Lac's memoir tiptoed
around vampire sex, didn't it?
830
00:41:20,216 --> 00:41:22,630
He and Dan made it out
to be this tortured act
831
00:41:22,654 --> 00:41:25,744
or obligational foreplay
before blood drinking.
832
00:41:25,831 --> 00:41:28,660
That is not the case at all.
833
00:41:28,747 --> 00:41:30,899
It's not the capstone
of vampiric desires.
834
00:41:30,923 --> 00:41:32,315
That would be
the taking of life,
835
00:41:32,402 --> 00:41:34,100
and next would be
a good draining,
836
00:41:34,230 --> 00:41:36,276
leaving your victim
near death and paralyzed
837
00:41:36,363 --> 00:41:38,254
for an unhurried escape.
838
00:41:38,278 --> 00:41:40,541
And after that,
there's the pet it coup,
839
00:41:40,628 --> 00:41:42,804
the little drink, the sip.
840
00:41:42,891 --> 00:41:45,740
And after those three, it's sex.
841
00:41:45,764 --> 00:41:48,288
So now you know,
the fourth best thing
842
00:41:48,418 --> 00:41:51,291
a vampire can do to avoid
thinking about the past
843
00:41:51,378 --> 00:41:52,466
is to have sex.
844
00:41:52,597 --> 00:41:54,531
Sex. Sex. Sex.
845
00:41:54,555 --> 00:41:56,707
And I have had
a lot of sex over the years.
846
00:41:56,731 --> 00:41:58,559
It's not all pain and toxicity.
847
00:41:58,646 --> 00:42:00,648
I have an immortal life,
and I carry with it
848
00:42:00,735 --> 00:42:01,867
an immortal erection.
849
00:42:01,997 --> 00:42:04,347
And I am not ashamed of it.
850
00:42:04,434 --> 00:42:07,936
Sex is fun, like the fun
I sing about in "Long Face,"
851
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,963
which, looking back
on it now, does suck.
852
00:42:12,617 --> 00:42:14,297
I still have residuals
coming in, actually.
853
00:42:16,098 --> 00:42:20,015
Carnal pleasure is essential
to a vampire's survival,
854
00:42:20,102 --> 00:42:22,627
if only to keep time's baggage
from burying you.
855
00:42:24,672 --> 00:42:29,503
Sex with the bellman and Dee
and honey-trapping Baby Jenks.
856
00:42:29,634 --> 00:42:31,307
Probably should have
gotten off the seventh floor
857
00:42:31,331 --> 00:42:32,637
when I had gotten off.
858
00:42:35,422 --> 00:42:36,510
But I didn't.
859
00:42:39,774 --> 00:42:42,037
I'm getting married in a week.
860
00:42:42,168 --> 00:42:44,997
I'll never forget you.
861
00:42:51,307 --> 00:42:54,809
Law 4: no vampire
shall ever reveal
862
00:42:54,833 --> 00:42:56,835
his or her true nature
to a mortal
863
00:42:56,922 --> 00:42:58,837
and let the mortal live.
864
00:42:58,924 --> 00:43:01,753
You do know it's 2025?
865
00:43:03,972 --> 00:43:05,036
Face the wall, my dear.
866
00:43:05,060 --> 00:43:08,020
You'll not want to see this.
867
00:43:08,107 --> 00:43:09,674
Mmm.
868
00:43:09,804 --> 00:43:11,632
The Tooth Team.
869
00:43:11,763 --> 00:43:13,982
The Fang Gang.
870
00:43:16,942 --> 00:43:20,162
I killed a pack of wolves
when I was a mortal.
871
00:43:20,249 --> 00:43:21,836
I'll most likely tell you
about that later,
872
00:43:21,860 --> 00:43:24,012
as I let it define me
for a time.
873
00:43:24,036 --> 00:43:26,604
And normally,
confining architecture
874
00:43:26,691 --> 00:43:29,258
and a thrift store coven
galvanized by medieval dogma
875
00:43:29,345 --> 00:43:31,043
wouldn't faze me in the least.
876
00:43:31,130 --> 00:43:33,611
I am building a career
that supports my well-being.
877
00:43:33,698 --> 00:43:37,266
But the drug blood
and my sex legs
878
00:43:37,353 --> 00:43:39,965
and the distracting past
my music had unleashed on me
879
00:43:40,052 --> 00:43:43,185
put me at a momentary
disadvantage.
880
00:43:43,316 --> 00:43:45,361
I'm in charge
of my work-life balance.
881
00:43:45,448 --> 00:43:47,973
Law 4,
as if the du Lac-Molloy memoir
882
00:43:48,060 --> 00:43:50,628
hadn't outed us all
two years ago,
883
00:43:50,715 --> 00:43:54,109
as if my entire stage show
wasn't a bawdy burlesque
884
00:43:54,196 --> 00:43:56,111
of "is he or isn't he,"
885
00:43:56,198 --> 00:43:57,896
as if half
the vampire population
886
00:43:58,026 --> 00:44:01,160
outside the ruined port
of Detroit wasn't waving
887
00:44:01,247 --> 00:44:04,119
the dark gift like red cups
in a piss bar,
888
00:44:04,250 --> 00:44:06,861
collecting fledglings
like they were Labubu dolls.
889
00:44:06,992 --> 00:44:08,558
I mean, I haven't even told
my band
890
00:44:08,689 --> 00:44:10,299
I was an actual vampire.
891
00:44:10,386 --> 00:44:12,998
I was just singing my songs
and fucking my food
892
00:44:13,085 --> 00:44:15,130
and defending myself
from the vibrant life choices
893
00:44:15,261 --> 00:44:18,264
I had made on my way
from the Auvergne countryside
894
00:44:18,394 --> 00:44:20,982
to the eighth floor
of this "why bother" hotel.
895
00:44:21,006 --> 00:44:23,312
And this is how it was all
going to end for me?
896
00:44:23,399 --> 00:44:26,272
We are the Fang Gang.
897
00:44:26,402 --> 00:44:29,057
We are the children
of the darkness reborn.
898
00:44:29,188 --> 00:44:32,060
Jesus fucking Christ.
899
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,998
"Armand told the truth"?
Have you met him?
900
00:44:37,022 --> 00:44:38,806
What the fuck
does that even mean?
901
00:44:40,286 --> 00:44:41,480
Heard there was an after-party
902
00:44:41,504 --> 00:44:43,289
on the asshole floor.
903
00:44:43,419 --> 00:44:46,379
I like to think I was owed
the reinforcements,
904
00:44:46,509 --> 00:44:49,425
Dan and the oddly familiar DJ,
905
00:44:49,512 --> 00:44:51,993
but that's me looking back
on it now.
906
00:44:52,124 --> 00:44:54,430
Anything I had done
to deserve their timely rescue
907
00:44:54,517 --> 00:44:56,389
hadn't happened yet.
908
00:44:56,476 --> 00:44:58,913
I'd be dead, I think,
without Dan.
909
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,586
But then maybe more of the world
910
00:45:00,610 --> 00:45:02,501
would still be alive had Dan not
911
00:45:02,525 --> 00:45:04,310
rallied his army downstairs.
912
00:45:06,094 --> 00:45:09,117
Consider this sliding door
of Dan
913
00:45:09,141 --> 00:45:11,621
as you decant my blood
and devour my words.
914
00:45:24,722 --> 00:45:27,550
It's hard hiding you're a god.
915
00:45:27,637 --> 00:45:28,769
You're for real?
916
00:45:28,856 --> 00:45:31,816
CCTV, eco-flush toilets,
917
00:45:31,903 --> 00:45:33,968
IMF freezing your accounts
because you have the blood
918
00:45:33,992 --> 00:45:35,428
of a patricidal queen
inside you.
919
00:45:35,515 --> 00:45:38,518
Hello again.
920
00:45:38,648 --> 00:45:40,563
Théâtre des Vampires.
921
00:45:40,650 --> 00:45:42,652
Talamasca dragged me into that.
922
00:45:42,740 --> 00:45:43,900
And once you reveal yourself,
923
00:45:43,958 --> 00:45:46,569
you have to be on all the time
924
00:45:46,656 --> 00:45:48,876
and remember every face
you've ever met.
925
00:45:48,963 --> 00:45:50,878
And everywhere you go,
everyone remembers
926
00:45:50,965 --> 00:45:54,795
the thing they said to you
in the room that you shared.
927
00:45:54,882 --> 00:45:57,319
Were you a stutterer as a child?
928
00:46:00,148 --> 00:46:03,717
This is why gods prefer
hiding in the clouds.
929
00:46:03,804 --> 00:46:05,023
There's nothing there...
930
00:46:06,415 --> 00:46:08,374
But water waiting to fall.
931
00:46:15,729 --> 00:46:20,299
So many opportunities
to call it a night that night.
932
00:46:20,386 --> 00:46:23,476
After the song
unleashed the muses.
933
00:46:23,563 --> 00:46:27,001
After I saw my first soul.
934
00:46:27,088 --> 00:46:31,136
After I was nearly decapitated
in a boutique hotel hallway.
935
00:46:32,877 --> 00:46:35,793
After my vampire nature
was revealed to the band
936
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,230
and my vampire gift
winged me away
937
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,927
north of the river,
south of the country.
938
00:46:44,366 --> 00:46:48,153
But I was saved
from such rational thought.
939
00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:51,373
Love will do that to you.
940
00:47:09,391 --> 00:47:12,501
Ma chère.
941
00:47:12,525 --> 00:47:14,744
Very kind of you to come.
942
00:47:20,228 --> 00:47:23,014
I got myself into something
I can't get out of.
943
00:47:25,668 --> 00:47:27,801
Music's opened up
the batch oven,
944
00:47:27,888 --> 00:47:30,238
and I'm not sure
if I can close it again.
945
00:47:35,374 --> 00:47:37,202
I'm not really
at my best, but...
946
00:47:42,642 --> 00:47:45,558
It's very nice to see you again.
947
00:47:49,779 --> 00:47:54,088
I like what you've done
with your hair, my Ga...
948
00:47:54,219 --> 00:47:56,134
my Ga...
949
00:48:01,226 --> 00:48:04,969
My Gabriella.
950
00:48:07,667 --> 00:48:10,496
It's not much
of a reveal, I guess.
951
00:48:10,583 --> 00:48:12,628
I know it's common gossip now,
952
00:48:12,715 --> 00:48:13,995
the first thing one thinks about
953
00:48:14,108 --> 00:48:17,068
when my name comes up.
954
00:48:17,198 --> 00:48:20,506
I assume a privileged
individual such as yourself
955
00:48:20,593 --> 00:48:22,943
enjoys a little dirt
in their sandwich.
956
00:48:25,250 --> 00:48:29,428
So I serve it to you now
how it felt then.
957
00:48:31,865 --> 00:48:34,235
Fledgling,
958
00:48:34,259 --> 00:48:37,175
lover,
959
00:48:37,262 --> 00:48:38,611
mother.
960
00:48:43,007 --> 00:48:43,877
Listen to tracks
from "The Vampire Lestat"
961
00:48:44,008 --> 00:48:45,357
wherever you stream music.
962
00:48:48,186 --> 00:48:49,380
If you're still listening
after the last hour,
963
00:48:49,404 --> 00:48:50,710
welcome back.
964
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,581

You stole my personal physician.
974
00:49:21,132 --> 00:49:22,611
You hired my biographer.

00:49:24,309 --> 00:49:25,963

You are listening to
The Failures...
983
00:49:50,465 --> 00:49:52,250
album eight, side A.
984
00:49:57,646 --> 00:50:00,084
At the top of our first episode,
985
00:50:00,171 --> 00:50:05,611
we show a scene that is
probably happening in real time
986
00:50:05,741 --> 00:50:10,050
after a bunch of catastrophic
events have happened.
987
00:50:13,010 --> 00:50:16,361
If you are hearing this now,
988
00:50:16,448 --> 00:50:19,842
you must be a very privileged
individual.
989
00:50:24,325 --> 00:50:27,285
What makes this season special
is that it's still
990
00:50:27,372 --> 00:50:28,827
the same characters
that you love and know
991
00:50:28,851 --> 00:50:30,592
from the previous seasons.
992
00:50:30,679 --> 00:50:32,599
We're just putting them
in an entirely new world.
993
00:50:32,638 --> 00:50:35,293
And as they do in the books
and as we do in the show,
994
00:50:35,380 --> 00:50:39,210
the world continues
to crack open larger and larger.
995
00:50:39,340 --> 00:50:42,256
♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh
996
00:50:42,343 --> 00:50:44,084
Just like the plot changes,
997
00:50:44,215 --> 00:50:47,348
the whole attitude of the show
changes,
998
00:50:47,479 --> 00:50:50,873
and we move into this completely
crazy rock-'n'-roll world.
999
00:50:54,094 --> 00:50:55,748
He did it again.
1000
00:50:55,878 --> 00:50:57,837
A lot of the beauty and elegance
1001
00:50:57,967 --> 00:51:01,536
that you would usually see him
surrounded by is gone.
1002
00:51:01,623 --> 00:51:04,974
It feels really grungy
and really rough and really raw.
1003
00:51:05,062 --> 00:51:08,326
So it was a very fun environment
to be putting him in.
1004
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,202
-Come to me.
-Montreal.
1005
00:51:15,333 --> 00:51:18,031
I am he, and he is me.
1006
00:51:18,118 --> 00:51:19,598
Louis and Lestat are FaceTiming,
1007
00:51:19,728 --> 00:51:21,228
and you're probably gonna
get the sense
1008
00:51:21,252 --> 00:51:22,992
that Louis is gonna come over
pretty soon.
1009
00:51:23,123 --> 00:51:25,083
They'll probably get
back together or work it out.
1010
00:51:25,169 --> 00:51:27,214
-Nice?
-Yeah. It's nice.
1011
00:51:27,301 --> 00:51:29,608
One of the first conversations
I had
1012
00:51:29,738 --> 00:51:32,045
with Rolin and Hannah
and the writers
1013
00:51:32,176 --> 00:51:36,397
was that I think Louis has
watched just a ton of YouTube
1014
00:51:36,484 --> 00:51:41,185
in his time off...
you know, like cat videos.
1015
00:51:41,272 --> 00:51:44,362
Probably hungrily.
1016
00:51:44,449 --> 00:51:47,234
Louis, do you know someone
called Daniel Malloy?
1017
00:51:47,321 --> 00:51:48,888
Lestat finds out about the book,
1018
00:51:49,018 --> 00:51:50,648
and then that completely
throws all those plans
1019
00:51:50,672 --> 00:51:52,283
out of the window.
1020
00:51:52,413 --> 00:51:54,763
One of my favorite things
about the second season
1021
00:51:54,850 --> 00:51:56,548
of "Interview With the Vampire"
is...
1022
00:51:56,635 --> 00:51:58,245
I burned his laptop.
1023
00:51:58,332 --> 00:52:00,204
I didn't know he had it saved
in the cloud.
1024
00:52:00,291 --> 00:52:04,295
Louis sets fire to a laptop
to try and erase the book.
1025
00:52:04,425 --> 00:52:07,646
But, like, no one told him
about the cloud.
1026
00:52:07,733 --> 00:52:10,127
I only found out
it was coming out a month ago.
1027
00:52:10,214 --> 00:52:11,824
You've known for a month,
1028
00:52:11,911 --> 00:52:13,367
and you talk about me in it
to a mortal?
1029
00:52:13,391 --> 00:52:14,740
Well, yeah.
Uh, yeah.
1030
00:52:14,870 --> 00:52:16,829
Kind of... But... you know?
1031
00:52:16,916 --> 00:52:20,528
No, I don't know, Louis.
Please explain yourself.
1032
00:52:20,615 --> 00:52:23,227
Both Louis and Lestat
are not necessarily happy
1033
00:52:23,357 --> 00:52:25,794
with the way that either of them
were portrayed in the book.
1034
00:52:25,881 --> 00:52:27,535
It's like a mix of guilt
1035
00:52:27,666 --> 00:52:29,842
and probably a sense
of vengeance about it.
1036
00:52:29,972 --> 00:52:32,714
Lestat sees that book come out,
1037
00:52:32,845 --> 00:52:38,067
sees what he perceives are lies
and distortions, mistruths,
1038
00:52:38,155 --> 00:52:39,504
and he's like, "You know what?
1039
00:52:39,634 --> 00:52:41,027
I'm gonna set the record
straight."
1040
00:52:41,158 --> 00:52:42,638
Was he there
in 18th-century Auvergne?
1041
00:52:42,768 --> 00:52:44,291
He said you told him that.
1042
00:52:44,378 --> 00:52:46,554
Did I threaten Claudia
with rape on a train?
1043
00:52:46,685 --> 00:52:49,078
No.
And impossible.
1044
00:52:49,209 --> 00:52:51,646
Daniel Molloy is
an investigative journalist
1045
00:52:51,777 --> 00:52:53,779
of the absolute top shelf.
1046
00:52:53,909 --> 00:52:57,609
Who better to refute the book
than the man who wrote the book?
1047
00:52:57,696 --> 00:53:01,961
He has an incorrigible need
to find out what the truth is.
1048
00:53:02,048 --> 00:53:04,050
Why do you like the vampire
Lestat?
1049
00:53:07,271 --> 00:53:10,448
Heard there was an after-party
on the asshole floor.
1050
00:53:10,578 --> 00:53:13,451
This isn't just sex, drugs,
and rock 'n' roll.
1051
00:53:13,538 --> 00:53:15,192
It's sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll,
1052
00:53:15,322 --> 00:53:17,368
and sucking blood
out of people's necks.
1053
00:53:17,498 --> 00:53:20,197
You're for real?
1054
00:53:37,431 --> 00:53:39,216
Black Licorice is a great song.
1055
00:53:39,303 --> 00:53:42,654
It's about the first kill
that Lestat made
1056
00:53:42,784 --> 00:53:45,700
after he reconciled with Louis
in New Orleans.
1057

1059
00:53:52,011 --> 00:53:53,578
Particularly in Episode 1,
1060
00:53:53,665 --> 00:53:56,058
you do see that he's pushing
and pushing
1061
00:53:56,145 --> 00:53:58,583
to get this sort of moment
of grace,
1062
00:53:58,670 --> 00:54:01,934
to be completely engulfed
in the music.
1063
00:54:02,021 --> 00:54:05,111
But just as I was about
to bridge the bridge
1064
00:54:05,242 --> 00:54:07,722
with murder and mayhem,
1065
00:54:07,809 --> 00:54:10,334
something quite surprising
happened.
1066
00:54:10,464 --> 00:54:12,727
And that's what he gets
from Black Licorice.
1067
00:54:12,814 --> 00:54:16,035
He does have his
first breakdown of many.
1068
00:54:16,165 --> 00:54:20,169
Muses appeared in my mind
and in the now around me.
1069
00:54:20,257 --> 00:54:23,956
He realizes that he was the one
that was holding them back.
1070
00:54:24,086 --> 00:54:25,686
So then, all of a sudden,
it cracks open,
1071
00:54:25,740 --> 00:54:28,003
and the real thing
starts to appear.
1072
00:54:28,134 --> 00:54:31,180
And that sound
I had been grinding them for
1073
00:54:31,268 --> 00:54:34,227
was finally unleashed.
1074
00:54:34,358 --> 00:54:37,709
He started it to be "I'm gonna
go and tell my story.
1075
00:54:37,839 --> 00:54:40,277
I'm gonna do a rewrite.
This is my version of events."
1076
00:54:40,407 --> 00:54:42,627
And it's evolved
into something different.
1077
00:54:42,714 --> 00:54:45,107
He's tapped into his past.
1078
00:54:49,503 --> 00:54:53,333
♪ I want to stay in bad,
eating black licorice ♪
1079
00:54:54,943 --> 00:54:58,730
