00:00:30There are stories out there that need to be told. There's shit out there that's just, you know, wrong.
00:00:37People need to know about it. That's the job. It's not a complicated job other than how it'll mess with your life.
00:00:44News used to be a bunch of guys who looked like me, huddled around a desk at a page one meeting deciding what the news was.
00:00:51This little fucker changed all of that.
00:00:55I've been fired from three papers, hired back at two of them, third got gobbled up by Nate Ritter.
00:00:59So to be clear here, I'm a goddamn reservoir of do's and don'ts.
00:01:03Your sources are your sherpas. Your editor is your priest.
00:01:07Honesty is not a tactic.
00:01:11You still want this job? It's your money.
00:01:14I'm Daniel Malloy. This is my paper.
00:01:17Russian-backed separatists have been waging guerrilla warfare since 2014.
00:01:20Can he make his fantasy a reality?
00:01:23Walker's stopped at the key. High pick and roll for the Jones.
00:01:26Walker drives and finishes with a tough left hand.
00:01:29That's seven straight for Walker.
00:01:48Yeah, hey, doc. Yeah. Thanks for getting back to me.
00:01:51I, uh... Yes, that's right. I have an appointment scheduled for later in the week.
00:01:55But the thing I'm trying to figure out is what's the deal with this sub-variant business?
00:01:59I mean, is that more contagious? Is it...
00:02:02Uh-huh. Yeah, because, I mean, there's no reason to get more...
00:02:07Okay. So you think... Yeah, I mean, that's what I'm thinking.
00:02:10Why get any closer to the bug than I need to?
00:02:14Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
00:02:17Uh-huh.
00:02:21I gotta call you back.
00:02:25Okay.
00:02:46Um, first question.
00:02:48You weren't always a vampire, were you?
00:02:51No. I was a 33-year-old man when I became a vampire.
00:02:57How did it come about?
00:02:59There's a simple answer to that.
00:03:01I don't believe I want to give simple answers.
00:03:05I think I want to tell the real story.
00:03:14Dear Mr. Malloy,
00:03:16I hope this letter finds you safe and thriving.
00:03:19If such a thing were a possibility in this bleak hour.
00:03:24I've been following your career with some interest since our last meeting.
00:03:28Please allow me to congratulate you on all your successes.
00:03:32Those professional and those personally redemptive.
00:03:36The passage of time and the frailties that accompany it have provided me perspective.
00:03:42And I suspect the same might be for you as well.
00:03:46I'm hoping health and pride won't deter you from the following proposal.
00:03:51In a week's time, in a setting of my choosing,
00:03:55we revisit the project boyish youth prevented us from finishing.
00:03:5949 years and thousands of miles removed from the room we shared in San Francisco,
00:04:05I offer, for your journalistic pleasures,
00:04:09my full attention and my life story.
00:04:12All affinities, Louis de Point du Lac.
00:04:16I told my editor I was meeting with the most dangerous man in the world.
00:04:21Gave him two choices. He came back with Bezos, Putin.
00:04:25He thinks I'm in Praskovoyevka.
00:04:29You've grown old, Daniel.
00:04:33Yeah, well, mortality beats a heavy drum.
00:04:38I wasn't sure you've remembered me.
00:04:41Your book makes no mention of our prior meeting.
00:04:45Gritty memoir, drugs, humiliations, self-pity kind of thing.
00:04:50Mention vampires in one of those, readers tend to call bullshit.
00:04:54You've had some health concerns of late.
00:04:57Whole planet's having a moment, I'd say.
00:04:59You have Parkinson's disease, Daniel.
00:05:03Yeah. And you've got your own hangar at the airport,
00:05:07privileges on the Royal Maydan Bridge and zero presence online.
00:05:10Have I hit a nerve?
00:05:13I know the Emiratis are big on privacy,
00:05:15and that's probably important to you, but I gotta ask,
00:05:17what does it cost, this having aged in half a century,
00:05:21killer views in all directions, anonymity?
00:05:23Quite a lot.
00:05:27Only my family and my doctor know I'm sick.
00:05:30I don't dig the one-way hack, yeah?
00:05:34And here's another question.
00:05:36That's the sun out there.
00:05:38Where's your coffin?
00:05:41You're standing in it.
00:05:48I have to be very careful whom I let in.
00:06:03Yeah, well, things didn't end well the last time.
00:06:06So forgive me if I'm a little nervous.
00:06:11This, after all I've told you, is what you asked for, pay?
00:06:16Yeah, but you don't know what human life is like.
00:06:18I mean, you've forgotten, man.
00:06:21I mean, you don't even understand the meaning of your own story.
00:06:27No. Hey, stop!
00:06:32You were disrespectful.
00:06:34I was high.
00:06:36You were not worthy of my story then.
00:06:38Maybe your story wasn't worth telling.
00:06:43You've got the tapes. Hire a transcriber.
00:06:46I don't do puff portraiture anymore.
00:06:49And yet you got on a plane with an autoimmune disease
00:06:52in the middle of a pandemic.
00:06:56All right.
00:07:00That's my voice, but I don't remember it.
00:07:04I ask all the wrong questions.
00:07:06Yes.
00:07:07There's contradictions in your story I never follow up on.
00:07:09Yes.
00:07:10A few good ones I do manage to get out.
00:07:12You steamroll over them.
00:07:13It's not an interview.
00:07:15It's a fever dream told to an idiot.
00:07:18Yes.
00:07:20And you?
00:07:23Why again? What's changed?
00:07:26The world. Circumstances.
00:07:29Me, I've changed.
00:07:32And I, too, find the tapes lacking.
00:07:35So...
00:07:38A do-over.
00:07:43Truth and reconciliation.
00:07:47I ask the questions, you answer the questions.
00:07:49Anything that can't be verified, I send to my researcher.
00:07:52No third parties.
00:07:54I write it, you get to see it before it goes to print,
00:07:57I get the final edit.
00:07:58That is not the agreement you signed.
00:08:00And one more thing.
00:08:02I do my best work one-on-one.
00:08:04Would you see to Mr. Molloy's room?
00:08:07Have Chef prepare a meal for him.
00:08:09I think it best we start when our boy's had a rest.
00:08:11I'm not your fucking boy.
00:08:13I'm an old man with all the triggers that come with it.
00:08:17And I'm ready.
00:08:19So let's do this.
00:08:23I'm Daniel Molloy.
00:08:25It is 10.08 in the morning on June 14th, 2014.
00:08:29June 14th, 2022.
00:08:31I'm in the penthouse apartment of the Al Sharaf Towers
00:08:34across from Mr...
00:08:37Louis DuPont Dulac.
00:08:39So...
00:08:41Mr. Dulac,
00:08:43how long have you been dead?
00:08:50The year was 1910,
00:08:52the fall of the fifth year of my father's passing,
00:08:55and in the fall of the fifth year,
00:08:57I was the executor in charge of the DuPont Dulac Family Trust.
00:09:00The eldest son.
00:09:01The favored son.
00:09:03And a sizable trust to oversee as a consequence.
00:09:06Capital accrued from plantations of sugar
00:09:08and the blood of men who looked like my great-grandfather
00:09:11but did not have his standing.
00:09:13But then decades of Jim Crow
00:09:15and the electrified light of a new century
00:09:17had vanquished any idea of a free man of color.
00:09:20So it followed the only place in New Orleans
00:09:22a gentleman of my complexion could do a righteous business
00:09:25was a neighborhood called Storyville.
00:09:27That was the old red light district, yeah?
00:09:30Twenty blocks of drinking, gambling, and gluttonous whoring.
00:09:34Okay, so as the honorable executor of the family's estate,
00:09:38you were in what business exactly, Mr. Dulac?
00:09:41You could say I managed and operated
00:09:43a diversified portfolio of enterprises.
00:09:46You were a pimp.
00:09:48The product was desire,
00:09:50and it came in as many forms as there were ways to move it.
00:09:53Of the two dozen sporting houses on Liberty Street,
00:09:55I owned eight of them,
00:09:57modest in proportion to the venues on Basin Street.
00:10:00But they lacked in size and elegance.
00:10:02They more than made up for in efficiency and reputation.
00:10:05Mr. Dulac!
00:10:07Finn!
00:10:09You hiding any bills in them fat fucking rows of yours?
00:10:12I was, admittedly, a rougher thing then.
00:10:15Mr. Dulac!
00:10:17You had to be if you wanted to survive.
00:10:19You couldn't look weak on Liberty Street.
00:10:21Doris, you're gonna lose your good leg running out like that.
00:10:24Mr. Dulac, sir, we got bad trouble.
00:10:27I apologize, I apologize, I apologize.
00:10:31I was only trying to show you my love.
00:10:33Fuck you!
00:10:35What happened?
00:10:36The cunny hit me!
00:10:37Oh, I'm a cunny now. A minute ago, I was his love.
00:10:42Out of me, feel me?
00:10:44Hitting all of me? Goddamn it, Briggs.
00:10:47He stuck it in my shit box.
00:10:48I did no such thing.
00:10:50He kept on fucking, so I gave him a little squirt of my catfish dinner for going there.
00:10:54Don't believe me? Check his dick.
00:10:56Who the fuck you talking to? I ain't checking no man's dick.
00:10:59Oh, goddamn.
00:11:00Hell, I might have even said yes if you'd just asked, but I don't care who he is.
00:11:03You put a dick in an asshole without asking, that's against Jesus.
00:11:05Fuck you!
00:11:07What y'all laughing at?
00:11:08So I'm gonna go fetch Doc Johnson.
00:11:10And you get some clean water and a towel.
00:11:16Get your hands off me, nigger!
00:11:19You won't make me regret my support, you repeat yourself, Mr. Fenwick.
00:11:24You eat a point du lac, sir?
00:11:27Oh, point du lac.
00:11:29Oh, forgive me.
00:11:33There's so much wine.
00:11:34Don't worry nothing. We're gonna keep this here between us.
00:11:37So we got the good Doc on the way.
00:11:41Oh, Miss Williams.
00:11:43Isn't she a vision?
00:11:45I ain't cleaning his dick.
00:11:46Oh, Jesus Mary.
00:11:48We got a situation here, Finn.
00:11:49Yeah, well, you got another one outside 122.
00:11:51A man acting a maggot, driving away business.
00:11:53Isn't that what I pay you for?
00:11:55No.
00:11:56It's a citizen priest.
00:11:58Do you not realize, sister, your body is part of Christ the Lord?
00:12:01Second time this month.
00:12:02Will you take that body and enjoy it?
00:12:03And I could give two moons if he's your brother, Mr. du lac.
00:12:05I'm gonna knock his head off.
00:12:06Permission to deny your victory with Christ?
00:12:08No.
00:12:09He shall not begin to judge the living and the dead.
00:12:11And who's coming? All men who will rise again with their bodies into everlasting fire.
00:12:14Go on home. Tell my ma not to wait up.
00:12:17There's blood on your shirt.
00:12:18What wickedness is it tonight?
00:12:20You're not helping me here, Paul.
00:12:21Oh, but I am.
00:12:23The Lord told me to come, Louie.
00:12:25In my head, like a family of birds, many voices, but also one voice.
00:12:29Say it a second time.
00:12:30Listen to me, please.
00:12:32You have a fucking night, okay?
00:12:33I can't have it with you fooling around.
00:12:39Get on home.
00:12:40Else I'll beat you like a cauchon, bro.
00:12:48Did I want to pull a knife on my brother?
00:12:51No.
00:12:52But, as I alluded to before,
00:12:55you couldn't look weak on liberty.
00:12:58You never knew who was watching.
00:13:06He pulled his knife on me, ma'am.
00:13:07You were disrupting Mother's business and arrest.
00:13:09You hear that, Mother?
00:13:11He's made you a matter.
00:13:12No, Paul.
00:13:13Profiting from the damnation of soul.
00:13:15Let's not fuss on the particulars.
00:13:17Mornings with my family followed a pattern that year.
00:13:20My mother consumed herself with preparations for my sister's wedding,
00:13:24while Paul confused the dining table with a pulpit none of us would recognize.
00:13:29We should tie the door to St. Augustine's before this house falls in on us.
00:13:32This is just a temporary situation until Louie can find us a more respectable business.
00:13:37Daddy was here. We'd still be in Sugar Cane.
00:13:39Daddy was alive. You'd still be locked up in that hospital in Jackson.
00:13:42Louie, let's not have that talk.
00:13:44A month from my wedding day, and what do I dream about?
00:13:47Dancing in my husband's arms?
00:13:48Children running in the yard?
00:13:50No.
00:13:51I dream of what a quiet breakfast might look like.
00:13:53Your man Levy's a Baptist. No respect for the Holy Mother.
00:13:56Paul!
00:13:57He's gonna make your daughter jump a broom.
00:13:58I'm sitting right here.
00:13:59Plenty of brooms down the street at the Mayfair Sister's home.
00:14:02He's calling me a witch, Mama!
00:14:04Baldy punch a lot, you walk that back.
00:14:08Your brother sounds like a pain in the ass.
00:14:10Fragile, stubborn, indulged.
00:14:13I promised our father on his deathbed to look after him.
00:14:16But when Paul's mind was right, he was no burden.
00:14:20Point of fact, I loved him more than anyone on earth.
00:14:23And our daily stroll to St. Augustine was the measure of a good day started.
00:14:28Good morning, Paul.
00:14:29Good for you, maybe.
00:14:31Good morning, Louie.
00:14:33Hugh's got a good shine.
00:14:34If it wasn't beneath you, I'd say a shoe's your weight.
00:14:37Nothing is beneath me, son.
00:14:39I'm ready, Father.
00:14:41I wanted to thank the family for last Sunday's donation.
00:14:44Babysitting money. Church comes a thousand.
00:14:46Well, we're always here for them.
00:14:48And the money goes a good way towards the renovation.
00:14:50I want Father Matthias. Thank you.
00:14:53Ain't got nothing to confess to, anyhow. Wasting a good man's time.
00:14:56Be right there, Paul.
00:14:59I haven't seen you in confession of late, Louie.
00:15:03You know you can always come here if you're in need, son.
00:15:10My business and my raised religion were at odds.
00:15:14And the, uh, latencies within me?
00:15:19Well, I beat those back with a lie I told myself about myself.
00:15:23That I was a red-blooded son of the South seeking ass before absolution.
00:15:28And you maintain this delusion? How exactly?
00:15:31A particular woman who worked for the competition.
00:15:35As if rickety shacks were a competition for Tom Anderson's fair play saloon.
00:15:40Ah, Louis Delon. The night begins.
00:15:43Miss Carol. Miss Lily working tonight?
00:15:45Miss Lily's on the terrace.
00:15:46It was a palace of opulence and splendor.
00:15:50Cesar Echeverria, Mr. Delon.
00:15:51That'll do fine, Miss Carol.
00:15:53And catered to an almost exclusively Caucasian clientele.
00:15:56Which helped me separate the locals from those visiting from other southern states.
00:16:02Shaking the money tree tonight, I see, Mr. Anderson.
00:16:04Can't see the dirt from the dollars falling.
00:16:07Private game on Friday if your date book is free, Louis.
00:16:09Can do, Mr. Anderson. Can do.
00:16:27I don't know much what you're saying.
00:16:29But it sure sounds nice.
00:16:31Only the impossible can do the impossible.
00:16:34Miss Lily.
00:16:36Bonsoir, monsieur.
00:16:38You speak French?
00:16:39We speak all sorts of tongues in New Orleans.
00:16:42It's a hard table to get. How'd you manage?
00:16:44How'd you manage to get yourself through the front door?
00:16:47Excuse me?
00:16:48I mean that as a compliment. A man of your race to have privileges here.
00:16:52Louis has a small empire of his own down the street. He gets some privileges.
00:16:57Something funny about that?
00:17:00Your name is Louis.
00:17:02Of course it's Louis.
00:17:04I didn't get your name, fella.
00:17:06Je suis désolé. Je m'amuse trop en privé.
00:17:09I know who you are, sir.
00:17:11You're the man who made me buy a townhouse in the corner.
00:17:14I owe you everything. Please join us.
00:17:18I know sometimes men of my race, we all look alike to you people.
00:17:23But I didn't sell you no townhouse.
00:17:25Louis, have a seat.
00:17:27Let me explain. New to the new world.
00:17:30I am.
00:17:31That explains the clothes.
00:17:3319th century man at heart, yes? Making his transatlantic journey by ship.
00:17:37Planning very carefully on settling myself off river.
00:17:40Get the Sazerac, sir.
00:17:41Put that in my account, thank you.
00:17:43And two more for us. And another round for the musicians.
00:17:45Whatever they want.
00:17:49Where was I?
00:17:50On a boat.
00:17:58So I'm out on the Crescent Coast, floating past your village,
00:18:02when I hear music playing.
00:18:04Shadows of men and women, dancing by the water's edge.
00:18:08I disembarked for the music, but then...
00:18:11there was food.
00:18:13What's been your favorite this year, Miss Lillian Coop?
00:18:15A favorite? She puts a pistol to my head.
00:18:19I couldn't believe it.
00:18:22Staring me down as his hands went wandering the seams of Miss Lily's dress.
00:18:27I wanted to take the end of my cane and slit his throat with it.
00:18:31Why didn't you?
00:18:34I couldn't move.
00:18:36My body was seized with weakness.
00:18:39His gaze tied a string around my lungs,
00:18:44and I found myself immobilized.
00:18:48And the women, all shades of skin.
00:18:52White, black, cinnamon.
00:18:56I've emptied a bank vault, something I must say, but...
00:18:59it was not until a few nights later,
00:19:02quand je regarde un homme sortir une couteau de sa caine
00:19:05et presser la lame sur le sein de son frais,
00:19:09that I said to myself...
00:19:12Let's start. Unpack your trunks. You're home.
00:19:17What is it is now?
00:19:19No more, Nisha.
00:19:21I had planned to make a new life for myself in Saint-Louis.
00:19:25That was to be my destiny.
00:19:28And now I know I was right.
00:19:31Only it turns out the saint is not a sitter, but a handsome man
00:19:35with a most agreeable disposition.
00:19:38You're his destiny, Louis.
00:19:41Destined to be very good friends.
00:19:44The oriental ointment is available for the next few hours, Miss Lily.
00:19:48The gentleman will swap them until the sausage recipe isn't scary.
00:19:56The oriental ointment is yours, monsieur.
00:19:59Please get my friend to hear anything he wants.
00:20:01Wonderful to meet you. I do hope I run into you again, Lily.
00:20:06Emasculation and admiration in equal measure.
00:20:11I wanted to murder the man,
00:20:14and I wanted to be the man.
00:20:17I wanted to be the man.
00:20:20I wanted to murder the man,
00:20:23and I wanted to be the man.
00:20:29I had come there for Lily,
00:20:32but I left thinking of only him.
00:20:50Come now.
00:21:11Come now.
00:21:15Who the devil...
00:21:21...are you?
00:21:31The police tell me there's an outbreak of fever in town.
00:21:34It's unfortunate it's living near the wharf, mostly.
00:21:37You find yourself riverside in a caterer, you have only yourself to blame, I say.
00:21:41Agreed. Still, it's very peculiar, they say.
00:21:44Each one the same. Small wounds to the body.
00:21:47A contamination entirely devoid of blood.
00:21:50It is their theory some new kind of rat has come ashore.
00:21:53Of the six-foot variety.
00:21:56We call those bureaucrats in France.
00:22:01Gentlemen, well, you all know Louis Delac.
00:22:04Louis, let me introduce you to Mr. Lestat de Liancourt.
00:22:08We met already, Mr. Anderson, sir.
00:22:10In front of a florist, wasn't it?
00:22:12We both wanted the last bouquet of lilies.
00:22:16Aren't you gonna ask the alderman how his head is, Louis?
00:22:19Why would I do that, Mr. Anderson, sir?
00:22:22You see, Mr. Fenwick, just as I told you, he's our most discreet negro.
00:22:26With that, his doctor had the same standards.
00:22:29Gentlemen, show your cards.
00:22:34Mr. Liancourt, your hand is incomprehensible.
00:22:38Oh, yes. I'm terrible at cards.
00:22:42Did I not mention that to everyone?
00:22:44Would you mind getting me some more of these money chips?
00:22:50Louis, did you know the alderman Fenwick here
00:22:52recently purchased both the title and deed
00:22:54to the Horton rooming house on Villery Street?
00:22:56Mr. Anderson believes it could make a fine sporting house.
00:22:59I recommended the alderman find a managing partner
00:23:02before he committed his money. I recommended.
00:23:04He think of you, Louis.
00:23:06Very kind of you, Mr. Anderson, sir.
00:23:08What do you think of the location?
00:23:10Ain't basic street.
00:23:12What, throwing out fetish symbols on the facade?
00:23:14Get a good margin on the alcohol?
00:23:16No-nonsense madame to keep the girls clean?
00:23:18I reckon a man could make a decent sum.
00:23:20Yes, sir, Mr. Fenwick, sir.
00:23:22I said you'd do it for 10%.
00:23:24With all respects, Mr. Anderson,
00:23:26you're proposing 10% for all the work?
00:23:29Fifteen?
00:23:31There's capital investment and there's labor.
00:23:36Both has its seat at the table, wouldn't you say, Mr. Lestat?
00:23:41Well, I can only speak of my experience,
00:23:43which is, I'm sure, different in my country.
00:23:45For example, you fine gentlemen have heard
00:23:47of the success story that is Au Bon Marché,
00:23:49a shopping experience like no other.
00:23:52These men look down on you.
00:23:54I have to say, I find it appalling
00:23:56how men like yourself are treated in this country of yours.
00:23:59It's undeniable. I came to my wealth honestly
00:24:02and at great sacrifice, I might add.
00:24:04However, it was not the sacrifice of many.
00:24:06I had no partners in my very...
00:24:09Fifteen percent.
00:24:14Do you not know your value?
00:24:20Do you suffer these indignities for some larger purpose?
00:24:31And do you think two pair will win the hour?
00:24:39I believe there is great opportunity in this city.
00:24:43But to seize it, I'll need protection from the wolves.
00:25:00And that's all to say, and forgive me,
00:25:02Monsieur de Pontelac, for my bias,
00:25:04but where is the business if there is no capital?
00:25:07All right, boy, show him.
00:25:14Au Bon, Mr. Dulac.
00:25:19He wouldn't tell me how he did it,
00:25:21his trick to make the world stop.
00:25:23In time, Louis, patience, Louis,
00:25:26ask me next week, Louis.
00:25:28You started hanging out?
00:25:30He was in love with my city
00:25:31and wanted to know everything he could about it.
00:25:33So you played docent to the gentleman vampire?
00:25:36He had not revealed his vampire nature yet.
00:25:39I'm assuming you only met at night.
00:25:41It's New Orleans.
00:25:42Days are for sleeping off the previous evening's damage.
00:25:45Perfect cover for a vampire.
00:25:47Racing ahead again, Mr. Malloy.
00:25:49Let the tale seduce you,
00:25:53just as I was seduced.
00:25:56Money would arrive, wired from France,
00:25:58and the shopkeepers, who would usually close at sunset,
00:26:01were very happy to accommodate him.
00:26:03He ransacked the import houses to furnish his townhouse,
00:26:07ravaged the booksellers of their oldest volumes for a library,
00:26:11and, with encouragement,
00:26:13updated his wardrobe to the fashion trends of the season.
00:26:17It was a cold winter that year,
00:26:19and Lestat was my coal fire,
00:26:22and I found myself for the very first time,
00:26:24to anyone other than Paul,
00:26:26confiding my struggles to another man.
00:26:32I was being haunted,
00:26:35and I was completely unaware it was happening.
00:26:42I'm switching rooms.
00:26:43I don't need to hear you and your girl mad, making noise.
00:26:45You'd have to be home to hear that.
00:26:46I come home nice.
00:26:47You come home some nights,
00:26:49out catting with some white man out here.
00:26:51He ain't white, he's French.
00:26:52Oh, that's a new kind of white, isn't it?
00:26:54French white?
00:26:55He different.
00:26:57Invite him over for dinner.
00:26:59Mother loves your opinion.
00:27:01Don't tell Livvy.
00:27:02You fishing for a richer man.
00:27:04Don't deny your sister.
00:27:06I want to meet this French white.
00:27:08I'm not bickering with you.
00:27:09I'm just trying to give you the word of the Lord.
00:27:11Understand.
00:27:12Yes.
00:27:13Yes.
00:27:14No.
00:27:15Paul crawled up on my bed last night.
00:27:18I'm trying to help you out.
00:27:20No.
00:27:21No.
00:27:22No.
00:27:23No.
00:27:24Wet for good near and out.
00:27:26He ain't taking you getting married.
00:27:29Livvy told me the place.
00:27:31Over in Gretna.
00:27:33Takes in men like Paul.
00:27:35We saw some crazy person's house like this.
00:27:36How'd that work last time, huh?
00:27:38You come out worse than before.
00:27:40Gretna.
00:27:41Ain't happening.
00:27:43God on the cross for you.
00:27:44Yes.
00:27:45You.
00:27:46I worry.
00:27:47I worry so much.
00:27:48Worry about your own life.
00:27:51Worry about being a bride.
00:27:54Worry about what you gonna wear
00:27:57in London.
00:27:59In Paris.
00:28:00Florence.
00:28:02Now y'all gonna be a steerage out of New York.
00:28:04Once you get to Europe,
00:28:05first class on boats, trains, and hotel rooms.
00:28:07What did you go and do?
00:28:09Just put the band by the deck and the pool by the fountain.
00:28:17Mama.
00:28:19I'm going around the world.
00:28:28I can't thank you enough, Mamadoula.
00:28:30I've never been east of Alabama,
00:28:31and now I'm going to see the pyramids.
00:28:33Oh, I think every young family deserves a little adventure.
00:28:37Wouldn't you say, Mr. Liancourt?
00:28:39Oui, madame.
00:28:40My mother, she gave me every advantage in life
00:28:43as a young man.
00:28:44My first Mastiff, first flintlock rifle,
00:28:47the means to make my way to Paris.
00:28:49It was Louis that purchased your holiday, Livvy.
00:28:51It's Louis who controls the money.
00:28:53Romain, Livvy.
00:28:54And I don't know who gave you the right
00:28:55to call our mother your mother.
00:28:57She's not your mother yet
00:28:58and will never be your scientific mother.
00:29:00Pa.
00:29:03I do love this bouillabaisse.
00:29:05What?
00:29:07Down here, we call it gumbo.
00:29:09We had a gumbo the other night, didn't we, Louis?
00:29:11Right after the opera.
00:29:12Oh, we got Louis to an opera.
00:29:14You want to?
00:29:15About some blind princess
00:29:16didn't know she was a princess.
00:29:18Stomach got grumbly and left halfway through.
00:29:20And what exactly is the nature of your relationship
00:29:22with my brother, Monsieur Liancourt?
00:29:25Your brother and I have been discussing
00:29:28a few investment opportunities.
00:29:30The birds asked me to ask you.
00:29:33I wasn't being rude.
00:29:37Monsieur Crenier, would you tell me
00:29:39how you came to propose to this delightsome young woman?
00:29:42Oh, that's a good yawn.
00:29:44Are you one with Christ, Monsieur Liancourt?
00:29:46How about you shut your damn mouth?
00:29:48Louis?
00:29:50That's all right, Louis.
00:29:51Madame, the birds speak for him.
00:29:55I came to know Christ in a monastery.
00:30:00I wanted to be a priest, just like you, Pa.
00:30:06And under the guidance and discipline
00:30:08of the monks who lived there,
00:30:10I came to memorize both the Testaments,
00:30:12the writings of Assisi, Aquinas, Erasmus,
00:30:18all the saints and scholars.
00:30:22My father, a vulgar man,
00:30:25did nothing much of this education.
00:30:28And so he and my brothers conspired to pull me out,
00:30:32lock me away.
00:30:35Where between beatings, starvations,
00:30:37and the failure of Christ to intercede
00:30:39the beatings and starvations,
00:30:41I slowly forgot all about the Testaments,
00:30:43Assisi, Aquinas, Erasmus,
00:30:46all of it, Pa.
00:30:47And so, to answer your boring question,
00:30:49there is an ocean between Christ and myself.
00:30:51Stop!
00:30:52J'espère que cela satisferra.
00:30:53Dois-en parcher dans la coche de votre esprit.
00:30:55Don't do that, chéri!
00:30:58Now we're my friend.
00:31:01You understand?
00:31:10I am cursed with my father's temper.
00:31:14The rudeness is all mine.
00:31:16That's all right.
00:31:17It's the humidity, it does that sometimes.
00:31:20Why don't we have some ice wine?
00:31:22And Levy here can tell us all again
00:31:25how he won my joy child's heart.
00:31:32Your family has taken a permanent offense at me.
00:31:35When Paul ain't picking at his plate,
00:31:37he's making a fight.
00:31:38If I had your tricks, I'd have done the same thing.
00:31:41You must envy him.
00:31:42The boy thinks God speaks to him through birds in his ear,
00:31:45and how do you figure envy?
00:31:46The liberty he has with his thoughts.
00:31:48However misshapen they may be,
00:31:50your brother has no shame in sharing them.
00:31:52You saying I got shame?
00:31:53The lie you told about leaving the Opera House, really.
00:31:56You were near weeping when the curtain fell.
00:31:58Why hide that from your family?
00:32:00Don't everybody need to know what I do?
00:32:02Dishonesty breeds dishonesty.
00:32:04They sit in judgment.
00:32:05Paul's the only one to say it to my face,
00:32:07but I know what I do.
00:32:09Paul's the only one to say it to my face,
00:32:11but I know my mind's great stinking too.
00:32:13My daddy ran our sugar business in a swamp before he passed.
00:32:16We were four months, four months from going bankrupt
00:32:20if I didn't do something.
00:32:22You don't need to defend yourself to me, Louis.
00:32:24I know what you go through
00:32:25to keep your family ignorant in their comfort.
00:32:27It ain't easy, the work I do.
00:32:29Nothing but broken souls around me,
00:32:31and the ones that ain't broke, greedy, bone tired.
00:32:36Drink up, my good man.
00:32:38The earth's a savage garden.
00:32:44You did good getting off that boat when you did.
00:32:47St. Louis is dull as dishwater.
00:32:50Yes, I feel quite at home here.
00:32:54Should we have a nightcap?
00:32:56I don't know.
00:32:58Probably had enough for the night.
00:33:01Gotta make my rounds back on liberty.
00:33:03You must, Louis.
00:33:05I bought you a gift.
00:33:07A gift?
00:33:09A flower.
00:33:37That's a nice music box you got there.
00:33:39It's one of the few things I brought with me from the continent.
00:33:43What's that little song playing?
00:33:45Do you like it?
00:33:46I composed it for a young violinist I once knew.
00:33:50A boy of infinite beauty and sensitivity.
00:33:55I believe that is for the lips, Miss Lily.
00:33:57I don't like the way mine look plain.
00:34:00And Mr. Dulac don't mind when I do it.
00:34:04A pair of misfit beauties.
00:34:07I can see why you both run to the other.
00:34:10Does Carol know you're here, Lily?
00:34:13I can assure you the fair play has been handsomely compensated for the evening.
00:34:18Sent the two horse carriers to pick me up.
00:34:20Felt like the queen of the quarter.
00:34:26That's all, Mr. Lincoln.
00:34:28You and me usually just talk.
00:34:30Why is that, Louis?
00:34:32What kind of a man wastes his waste with words?
00:34:36A beautiful man.
00:34:44There's nothing to be nervous about.
00:34:46The curtains are closed.
00:34:48The servants sent home.
00:34:50Even the planets and stars are blindfolded.
00:34:53That's your thing, then?
00:34:54You like to watch?
00:34:58I've been watching you for some time now, Louis.
00:35:01From river to lake, lake back to river.
00:35:04Looking for my companion heart.
00:35:06How you do that?
00:35:07Do what?
00:35:08Do what?
00:35:10Get my hair like that.
00:35:12Such a pretty head.
00:35:34Mm.
00:36:00That's fine, love.
00:36:04That's fine.
00:36:12Sleep well, Miss Lily.
00:36:34Good night.
00:37:04Eat that.
00:37:35It bears repeating,
00:37:37I did not consider myself a homosexual man at the time.
00:37:41I mean, I had had experiences.
00:37:44Guilt, shame,
00:37:46floating on a sea of vodka-type encounters.
00:37:50Obviously, I've come to embrace my sexuality.
00:37:53Of course, you know that.
00:37:55We met at a gay bar, didn't we, Daniel?
00:37:57It was a good place to score. I did what I had to.
00:38:00You been married?
00:38:02Twice.
00:38:04But we're not here for me, are we?
00:38:08When you were using drugs, Mr. Malloy,
00:38:11do you remember the best you ever had?
00:38:15Berkeley, 1978.
00:38:17Some Mexican black tar that Carly and Pedro were slinging.
00:38:21So, imagine that flowing inside your veins again.
00:38:26Now, multiply it
00:38:30by miles
00:38:32to the rings of Saturn and back.
00:38:39He had taken what he called un petit coup,
00:38:42the little drink.
00:38:44Not enough to kill me,
00:38:46but just enough to keep him fit.
00:38:49It takes an enormous amount of restraint for us,
00:38:53the little drink,
00:38:55and for a human experiencing it for the first time,
00:38:58I mean, it was unsettling.
00:39:01And not for the physical toll on my body,
00:39:04which was significant,
00:39:06but for the feelings of intimacy it awoke within me.
00:39:12I had never allowed myself
00:39:15to feel emotionally close to anyone,
00:39:17much less a man.
00:39:19I had no room for feelings like these in my life.
00:39:23You could be a lot of things in New Orleans,
00:39:26but an openly gay Negro man was not one of them.
00:39:32I vowed never to return again,
00:39:35and I shut that night out of my mind
00:39:38and turned my attentions back to life as it was before.
00:39:43One, two, three, jump!
00:39:47Thank you.
00:40:02We are missing my father today.
00:40:05He's supposed to dance with me to start the night off.
00:40:08I'm trying not to cry now.
00:40:10And I thought the best way to honor Daddy
00:40:13would be to make my brothers do the work.
00:40:16Mm-hmm.
00:40:18Half of y'all don't know this,
00:40:20but these no-good boys used to shuffle for pennies on Sunday.
00:40:23Called themselves the A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
00:40:27Remember that father of five?
00:40:29Oh, yeah, A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
00:40:31Lots of boys come dancing every day for God's sake.
00:40:34I remember their collection hat
00:40:36didn't always make it to the collection plate.
00:40:38That's right.
00:40:40Come on, Louie.
00:40:42Come on, Louie.
00:40:44It's for me, my Wendy.
00:40:49All right!
00:40:59Shoes are tight.
00:41:01Oh, the shoes is fine, it's the feet that's fat.
00:41:04Hey, what kind of rhythm you want, boss?
00:41:06You play loud so they can't hear our feet.
00:41:12All right.
00:41:18Hey, come on.
00:41:38All right. Okay.
00:41:43You got it.
00:41:53Okay.
00:41:55I ain't gonna do it. I ain't gonna do it.
00:42:09That's it.
00:42:12Yeah!
00:42:16Come on, give it to me!
00:42:26Hey!
00:42:43I'm gonna miss you.
00:42:45Don't talk. I have to concentrate.
00:42:47It's them three pieces of checker cake holding you back.
00:42:50Five pieces of checker cake,
00:42:52a pompano filet,
00:42:54three boudin,
00:42:56dirty rice,
00:42:58three B's,
00:43:00five, six wines.
00:43:02If you eat anything else, the buttons on your vest
00:43:04gonna pop off like cat and dog.
00:43:06Take down the neighborhood.
00:43:09Take down the neighborhood.
00:43:199,517.
00:43:22How many days we been in this house?
00:43:24You do that math all by yourself?
00:43:27Remember that day I got taller than you?
00:43:29Always bringing that up.
00:43:30Shot up like a nut all up.
00:43:32Daddy said I was gonna look down on you for the rest of the days.
00:43:34Yeah, yeah. Half an inch.
00:43:36That was a good month, that month.
00:43:42I think you should get married next.
00:43:44Do we now?
00:43:46You should marry hazel.
00:43:48Hazel? Who that?
00:43:50The one you were dancing too close with.
00:43:52You dance that close, you ought to be married.
00:43:54I didn't catch her name.
00:43:56Well, it's hazel.
00:43:58You still doing business with that man, Lestat?
00:44:02Nah, didn't work out.
00:44:06That's good.
00:44:08Cause he the devil.
00:44:10You think everyone's the devil.
00:44:12He's here to take souls, he told me so.
00:44:14He spoke to me without moving his lips.
00:44:16He got tricks is all.
00:44:20Mortal sins must be confessed, Louie.
00:44:22Ain't never gonna stop.
00:44:24Mortal sins must be confessed, Louie.
00:44:26Ain't never gonna see him again, Pa.
00:44:34You think Levy loves her enough?
00:44:36You know, Grace needs a lot of love.
00:44:38I do.
00:44:40You think he's giving her everything he's got inside him?
00:44:44Mm-hmm.
00:44:46Mother made a good party for Grace.
00:44:48Oh, yeah.
00:44:50They're gonna talk about this one for years.
00:44:52Yeah.
00:45:00I love you, Louie.
00:45:02I love you too, baby brother.
00:45:10Hey.
00:45:12Hey.
00:45:14Hey.
00:45:16I ate too much sugar, Kate.
00:45:22Pa.
00:45:24Pa!
00:45:28Pa!
00:45:30Oh, my Lord.
00:45:36That was the last sunrise I ever saw.
00:45:38Perhaps the kindest thing
00:45:40a dark gift has given me.
00:45:44I don't miss the sun.
00:45:48The reminders it carries.
00:46:08I've seen death
00:46:10over and over and over
00:46:12and over and over
00:46:14and over again.
00:46:16It's boring.
00:46:18That'll make a great blurb.
00:46:20The diagnosis you received,
00:46:22Daniel, it winds your clock.
00:46:26This virus has turned the world sideways.
00:46:28I get it. I'm gonna die.
00:46:30They're gonna die.
00:46:32But not the vampire.
00:46:34The vampire is bored.
00:46:36The human was destroyed.
00:46:38Utterly destroyed.
00:46:40I was at the funeral home.
00:46:42Everything is going as it should.
00:46:44Good men there.
00:46:46Promised me that...
00:46:48You must have said something to him, Louie.
00:46:50You must have said something to him
00:46:52to make him do that to himself.
00:46:54Paul slipped and fell, Florence.
00:46:56I don't think this is something
00:46:58you want to pursue.
00:47:00He was a fragile boy.
00:47:02He always was.
00:47:04And you?
00:47:06You always had to have the last word,
00:47:08didn't you, Louie?
00:47:10You always had to take him down a peg.
00:47:12No more.
00:47:14What did you say to him?
00:47:16Why was you even up there?
00:47:18Watching his uncle, Mama.
00:47:24You don't get past the gates
00:47:26if'n you kill yourself.
00:47:28Don't you know that?
00:47:30Paul gone down the other way.
00:47:32Paul's in hell because of you.
00:47:44Storyville lowered their hats,
00:47:46gave their propers,
00:47:48because it was custom.
00:47:50But if you looked past those
00:47:52lined up on the sidewalk,
00:47:54you'd see the bars hadn't stopped serving.
00:47:56The whores hadn't stopped whoring.
00:47:58What was Paul's life worth to them?
00:48:00What was my life worth?
00:48:02A big man at Liberty Street
00:48:04trailing the satin-lined evidence
00:48:06of his failure.
00:48:08Easy prey for the discerning predator.
00:48:14An elegant coffee.
00:48:16Would you tell me where you purchased it?
00:48:18Move on.
00:48:20I wait on my balcony every night
00:48:22if you've been avoiding me.
00:48:24I have been occupied.
00:48:26It's my brother's funeral.
00:48:28Believe me when I tell you,
00:48:30your brother longed for that flagstone.
00:48:32What did you say to me?
00:48:34Keep walking.
00:48:42Lestat's ambush
00:48:44had disoriented me.
00:48:46The sermon that was given
00:48:48I could not hear.
00:48:50And when the gathering cut loose the body,
00:48:52I could not join
00:48:54the transformation of those in attendance.
00:48:57He would not let me.
00:49:00Come to me.
00:49:04Come to me.
00:49:14Walk you home, Mama?
00:49:16No, thank you.
00:49:18Do you mind?
00:49:20Of course Mama do like.
00:49:26Didn't mean nothing by it.
00:49:28She just needs to put it somewhere.
00:49:30Don't let it inside.
00:49:36See you back at the wake?
00:49:44Come to me.
00:49:46I did not go to the wake.
00:49:50I did not want to face
00:49:52my mother's blame.
00:49:55My sister's pity.
00:49:59I wanted to grieve alone.
00:50:03But he would not
00:50:05allow it.
00:50:09Come to me.
00:50:13Come to me.
00:50:20Hello, handsome.
00:50:22My heart broke when I heard of your brother's passing.
00:50:24Miss Lily.
00:50:26Oh, my dear.
00:50:28I don't care if she's busy with someone, I pay more.
00:50:30I like Miss Lily, and I need Miss Lily.
00:50:32Miss Lily died,
00:50:34Mr. Dulac,
00:50:36two weeks ago.
00:50:39Police found her under the docks.
00:50:42Said she contracted the fevers that's been going around.
00:50:45Blood went and dried up inside her.
00:50:48Yeah, Mama.
00:50:52Mama!
00:50:54Help me!
00:50:56Help me, please.
00:50:58He's in my head, Father.
00:51:02The devil
00:51:04is in the water.
00:51:06Calm down, son. Get your breath.
00:51:08Bless me, Father,
00:51:10for I have sinned,
00:51:12grievously sinned.
00:51:14Sign on the cross, son.
00:51:23I'm a drunk, Lord.
00:51:25I'm a liar.
00:51:27I'm a thief, Lord.
00:51:29I profit off the miseries of other men, and I do it easy.
00:51:31Drugs, liquor, women.
00:51:33I lure the men and grab what they got, Lord.
00:51:35I take daughters with no homes,
00:51:37and I put them out on the street,
00:51:39Lord.
00:51:41And I lie to myself, saying I'm giving them
00:51:43roof and food and dollar bills in their pocket,
00:51:45but I look in the mirror, I know what I am.
00:51:47The big man in the big house,
00:51:49stuffing cotton in my ears so I can't hear them cry.
00:51:52And, Lord, I drag my family into this mess with me.
00:51:56I shame my father.
00:51:58I failed my brother.
00:52:00No, son.
00:52:02I lost my mother and sister,
00:52:04and rather than fix it like a man should,
00:52:06Lord, I run like a coward.
00:52:08I run to the bottle.
00:52:10I run to the grift.
00:52:12I run to bad beds.
00:52:14I lay down with a man.
00:52:18I lay down with the devil,
00:52:20and he has roots in me.
00:52:22All his spindly roots in me,
00:52:24and I can't think
00:52:26nothing anymore
00:52:28but his voice
00:52:30and his words.
00:52:32Help me!
00:52:34I am weak!
00:52:36I want to die!
00:52:50Help me!
00:53:02Do you think God heard you,
00:53:04Louis, in that tawdry box?
00:53:06To this pig vessel?
00:53:08This charge?
00:53:12Do you not see how unworthy he is?
00:53:14How can you humiliate yourself like this?
00:53:20Help me!
00:53:26Who killed Lily?
00:53:28Cut short that magnificent life she was living.
00:53:30What a tragedy.
00:53:32Ain't no fever out there.
00:53:34That's you.
00:53:36You bring the death to town.
00:53:38I give death to those deserving.
00:53:40I'm not the devil.
00:53:42You were wrong about that.
00:53:46But I can't give you death.
00:53:50Help me!
00:53:56Help me!
00:54:20Help me!
00:54:36This primitive country has kept you clean.
00:54:38It has shackled you
00:54:40in permanent exile.
00:54:42Every room you enter,
00:54:44every hat you're forced to wear,
00:54:46the stern landlord, the deferential businessman,
00:54:48the loyal son,
00:54:50all these roles you conform to,
00:54:52and none of them your true nature.
00:54:54What rage you must feel
00:54:56as you choke them with sorrow.
00:55:00The first time I laid eyes on you,
00:55:02your beautiful face,
00:55:04I saw that sorrow.
00:55:06I did not know how it got there
00:55:08or why it was so voluminous.
00:55:12I can take away
00:55:14that sorrow, Louis.
00:55:17I can give you
00:55:19that death you begged your feeble,
00:55:21blind, degenerate,
00:55:23nonexistent god for.
00:55:26But I can do it.
00:55:29Joyfully.
00:55:32I can swap this life of shame.
00:55:36Swap it out for a dark gift
00:55:38and a power you can't begin to imagine.
00:55:43You just have to ask me for it.
00:55:47You just have to nod your beautiful head
00:55:50and say yes.
00:55:55I love you, Louis.
00:55:58You are loved.
00:56:02I send my love to you,
00:56:05and you send it back round to me
00:56:08in this circle,
00:56:11this home we barely had a glimpse of.
00:56:16No, it frightens me as much as it does you.
00:56:19It is difficult to explain
00:56:21how his words disarmed me,
00:56:24how efficiently succinct
00:56:26and impenetrable his argument was.
00:56:29All my conceptions,
00:56:31even my guilt and my wish to die,
00:56:34seemed utterly unimportant.
00:56:37And I completely forgot myself
00:56:39and the barbaric scene that surrounded me.
00:56:42For the first time in my life,
00:56:44I was seen.
00:56:47Be my companion, Louis.
00:56:51Be all the beautiful things you are
00:56:55and be them without apology
00:56:59for all eternity.
00:57:15He drained me
00:57:18to the very threshold of death.
00:57:45The blood.
00:57:48It came as a dull roar at first
00:57:51and then a pounding,
00:57:54like the pounding of a drum
00:57:57growing louder and louder
00:58:00as if some enormous creature
00:58:03were coming through a dark
00:58:06and alien forest.
00:58:09A huge drum.
00:58:11A huge drum.
00:58:15And then
00:58:17there came a pounding of another drum
00:58:20as if another giant were coming behind him,
00:58:23each giant intent on his own drum,
00:58:26giving no notice to the rhythm of the other,
00:58:29throbbing my lips,
00:58:32the fingers,
00:58:34and the flesh of my temple,
00:58:37my walls,
00:58:39and my veins.
00:58:42Drum and then the other drum.
00:58:53I opened my eyes
00:58:56and it was then that I realized
00:58:59the drum was my heart
00:59:03and the other drum had been his.
00:59:09I saw him sitting a length away from me,
00:59:12radiant,
00:59:15and we sat there for some time
00:59:19in throes of increasing wonder.
00:59:28The end.
00:59:31The beginning.
00:59:39The end.
01:00:09You're a symbol of who we are.
01:00:11And then my Claudia, my redemption.
01:00:13We're a family.
01:00:15No, don't!
01:00:17For a killing machine, I kind of like her.
01:00:20Am I from the devil?
01:00:22Is my very nature
01:00:24that of the devil?
01:00:27This is not a life!
01:00:29That's because you took my life!
01:00:32Embrace what you are!
01:00:34You are a killer, Louis!
01:00:37Okay.
01:00:39Did you eat the baby?
01:00:52I'm Daniel Malloy,
01:00:54across from Mr.
01:00:56Louis DuPont Dulac.
01:00:58So,
01:01:00Mr. Dulac,
01:01:02how long have you been dead?
01:01:06Hi, I'm Roland Jones,
01:01:08executive producer for
01:01:10Interview with the Vampire,
01:01:12and this is your episode, Insider.
01:01:14There are stories out there
01:01:16that need to be told.
01:01:18I'm Daniel Malloy.
01:01:20Daniel Malloy, he's a journalist
01:01:22who is sort of on the nadir
01:01:24of his career,
01:01:26and a package arrives,
01:01:28and inside is a great deal
01:01:30of history that he did not
01:01:32want to remember.
01:01:34So, he escapes with a vampire.
01:01:36I think I want to tell the real story.
01:01:38He's sort of given an invitation
01:01:40to revisit this interview
01:01:42and do it right and proper
01:01:44when both have lived a little life
01:01:46and are way more comfortable
01:01:48in their skin.
01:01:50So, a do-over.
01:01:52Truth and reconciliation.
01:01:54He's a very different vampire,
01:01:56so he's got a lot on his mind.
01:01:58Lestat sees Louis DuPont Dulac
01:02:00for the first time pulling a knife
01:02:02and, oh, that's intriguing.
01:02:04There's some potential there to be a companion predator.
01:02:06Then,
01:02:08in the middle of this poker scene,
01:02:10you can see he has been on his mind.
01:02:12There's a shot where he's sort of staring
01:02:14longingly at Louis while Louis is
01:02:16shining his business acumen,
01:02:18and he goes, I'm going to show him.
01:02:20I'm going to give him a little insight about what I can do.
01:02:22These men look down on you.
01:02:24I find it appalling how men like yourself
01:02:26are treated in this country.
01:02:28So, he does a little vampire parlor trick, as it were.
01:02:30I believe there is great opportunity
01:02:32in this city,
01:02:34but to seize it,
01:02:36I'll need protection from the wolves.
01:02:38There is a sort of
01:02:40predator angle to this.
01:02:42Louis fully admits it later, I was being hunted.
01:02:44Lestat would not see that.
01:02:46Lestat would say, I was courting him.
01:02:48Come to me, Louis.
01:02:50That takes Louis to a place where he finds
01:02:52the church is the only place he can go.
01:02:54Help me, please. He's in my head.
01:02:56Father.
01:02:58He has his mind, heart, and soul,
01:03:00and he wants it out, and he's feeling great regret.
01:03:02I lay down with the devil.
01:03:04Help me!
01:03:06I am weak!
01:03:08And I want to die!
01:03:10He just pours it out, screaming to a god
01:03:12he hasn't talked to in a long time.
01:03:18Lestat has a very
01:03:20different idea about organized religion.
01:03:22Discharge!
01:03:24Discharge!
01:03:26Do you not see how unworthy he is?
01:03:28How can you humiliate yourself like this?
01:03:30We are catching Lestat at a very
01:03:32vulnerable and emotionally out of control
01:03:34moment, and he takes it out
01:03:36on these two priests in front of Louis.
01:03:38And then
01:03:40has to make a very, very quick
01:03:42and aggressive 360,
01:03:44and try to really give the big pitch.
01:03:46I can swap this life of shame.
01:03:50Swap it out for a dark gift,
01:03:52and a power you can't begin to imagine.
01:03:54He manages to pull it off.
01:03:56The idea of being seen,
01:03:58the idea of him being loved.
01:04:00Be my companion.
01:04:04You are the beautiful things you are.
01:04:06And despite
01:04:08the barbaric scene, as he says,
01:04:10he got him at the right moment.
01:04:16And we sat there for some time,
01:04:18in throes of increasing wonder.
01:04:22The end.
01:04:26The beginning.
01:04:52The end.
01:05:22The End.
01:05:24The End.
01:05:26The End.
01:05:28The End.
01:05:30The End.
01:05:32The End.
01:05:34The End.
01:05:36The End.
01:05:38The End.
01:05:40The End.
