You know her.
[Laughs]
1252
00:57:27,139 --> 00:57:28,836
- In that moment,
I think Regina's like,
1253
00:57:29,010 --> 00:57:30,447
"How do I get out alive?
1254
00:57:30,577 --> 00:57:32,361
Like, Louis,
it's too late for you.
1255
00:57:32,536 --> 00:57:33,841
But how do I make it out?"
1256
00:57:33,972 --> 00:57:36,670
- Paper. Paper.
1257
00:57:36,844 --> 00:57:39,368
- Louis and Armand...
1258
00:57:39,499 --> 00:57:41,893
It's really beautiful
that they get this moment
1259
00:57:42,067 --> 00:57:44,678
to just, like, reconcile.
1260
00:57:44,852 --> 00:57:46,593
- Picture you at 12.
1261
00:57:46,767 --> 00:57:48,769
- That's the moment Armand...
- Scared.
1262
00:57:48,856 --> 00:57:51,859
- ...finally accepts that...
- Poor boy.
1263
00:57:52,033 --> 00:57:53,992
- ...this is over.
1264
00:57:54,122 --> 00:57:59,040
- Arun, you need a love
that will cradle you.
1265
00:57:59,127 --> 00:58:02,000
- It's a really powerful moment.
I hope it does come across.
1266
00:58:02,130 --> 00:58:05,264
It felt really important
when we did it.

- Lestat, he's at the long table,

00:58:19,408 --> 00:58:20,540
which I knew was coming from
the very beginning,
1271
00:58:20,714 --> 00:58:21,846
because Rolin had said,
1272
00:58:21,976 --> 00:58:23,456
the whole season
is going to be revolving
1273
00:58:23,587 --> 00:58:25,023
around this concept
of the long table.
1274
00:58:25,197 --> 00:58:27,547
And where's Claudia?
1275
00:58:27,634 --> 00:58:31,725
- She said all she needs
to say to you is what she said.
1276
00:58:31,812 --> 00:58:33,553
- Originally, it was going
to be everyone who was killed,
1277
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,424
which is kind of
where we get to by the very end
1278
00:58:35,599 --> 00:58:38,297
when he's performing on
the stage in the Paris street,
1279
00:58:38,427 --> 00:58:40,734
which is of no time.
1280
00:58:40,821 --> 00:58:45,478
- This whole episode
is designed to revisit the past
1281
00:58:45,609 --> 00:58:48,046
- and talk to those people...
- I'm dead.
1282
00:58:48,176 --> 00:58:50,396
...who have been
a huge part of his life.
1283
00:58:50,570 --> 00:58:52,398
- This is death?
1284
00:58:52,529 --> 00:58:54,748
My father's ugly table
in your shitty tower.
1285
00:58:54,879 --> 00:58:56,576
- Dying.
1286
00:58:56,707 --> 00:58:59,536
- For the first time,
he's forced to actually deal
1287
00:58:59,666 --> 00:59:04,323
with the relationships in his
life that he tries to sculpt,
1288
00:59:04,453 --> 00:59:06,847
or change, or run away from.
1289
00:59:06,978 --> 00:59:09,154
So you're all here to judge me?
1290
00:59:09,328 --> 00:59:11,852
- We are the failure finders.
1291
00:59:11,939 --> 00:59:15,029
- These people point out
to him things about himself
1292
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:16,683
that he maybe couldn't see.
1293
00:59:16,770 --> 00:59:18,772
In some ways,
he's gaining an education
1294
00:59:18,859 --> 00:59:21,906
and he's gaining emotional
intelligence about himself.
1295
00:59:21,993 --> 00:59:25,126
- Cross between a self-absorbed
Robert Plant impersonator
1296
00:59:25,257 --> 00:59:28,782
and an 80s hot dog
embalmed with hair gel.
1297
00:59:28,913 --> 00:59:31,263
- I got to wear that
beautiful raspberry suit again.
1298
00:59:31,437 --> 00:59:32,873
And I love that suit.
1299
00:59:33,004 --> 00:59:34,701
And it's a comfortable suit.
1300
00:59:34,875 --> 00:59:39,445
And it makes me feel like Louis
in a certain period,
1301
00:59:39,576 --> 00:59:42,796
a different Louis to the one
we know now.
1302
00:59:42,927 --> 00:59:44,189
- At least we don't
have to listen to
1303
00:59:44,276 --> 00:59:46,060
his violin playing on this one.
1304
00:59:46,191 --> 00:59:47,714
- Lestat is coming to terms
with the fact
1305
00:59:47,888 --> 00:59:49,586
that perhaps none
of them like him,
1306
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:54,503
and that's a very
traumatizing experience for him.
1307
00:59:54,678 --> 00:59:59,726
And realizing that your
whole life has been a failure.

1309
01:00:07,212 --> 01:00:10,737
- And I love the soliloquies
to a bowling bag.
1310
01:00:10,868 --> 01:00:13,131
It's kind of crazy
and wonderful.
1311
01:00:13,261 --> 01:00:14,915
You go do what I did
with my life.
1312
01:00:15,002 --> 01:00:17,744
You go knock down those doors,
you go get some.
1313

and he's got the guy's head,
1314

and he's like,
"I'm gonna yell at this thing."
1315
01:00:23,445 --> 01:00:25,839
- I get to gloat,
and then ultimately,
1316
01:00:25,926 --> 01:00:27,711
things change up again.
1317
01:00:27,841 --> 01:00:29,190

- Alex, this is Raglan.
He's a watcher.
1319
01:00:31,758 --> 01:00:33,325
He watches.
1320
01:00:33,455 --> 01:00:35,457
Once again,
Daniel is frustrated.

- Hmm.

01:00:38,373 --> 01:00:39,984
You might want to alter
your angle of entry
1323
01:00:40,114 --> 01:00:42,856
or switch to a ball
that reads earlier.
1324

How about that one?
1325
01:00:44,466 --> 01:00:45,729
- If you've read all
the Anne Rice,
1326
01:00:45,816 --> 01:00:47,339
then you know that Raglan James
1327
01:00:47,469 --> 01:00:50,908
is a very complicated
character, ultimately.
1328
01:00:51,038 --> 01:00:56,087
- Alex, I think you
should open with Big Boss.
1329
01:00:56,217 --> 01:00:59,873
- I fantasize having
the power that a vampire has,
1330
01:01:00,004 --> 01:01:01,962
and I can't wait to fight
with everybody.
1331
01:01:02,093 --> 01:01:04,443

Gets back up.
Keeps getting kicked down.

Gets back up.

And now he's kicked back down
on the floor again.
1339
01:01:26,987 --> 01:01:29,947
And he might not be
able to get back up right now.
1340
01:01:30,121 --> 01:01:33,907
- Failure as a theme, I just
think is a beautiful thing.
1341
01:01:34,081 --> 01:01:35,561
We should all fail more.
1342
01:01:35,692 --> 01:01:37,737
If you don't fail,
you don't learn.
1343
01:01:37,911 --> 01:01:40,958
- Pathetic failure!
1344
01:01:41,045 --> 01:01:43,569
- Even if he listens to all
of the failures
1345
01:01:43,700 --> 01:01:45,789
while they're sitting
there eating his soul
1346
01:01:45,919 --> 01:01:47,181
at the dinner table,
he still gets up on the table
1347
01:01:47,312 --> 01:01:50,576
and says, "Well done.
Good job. Good shit.
1348
01:01:50,663 --> 01:01:52,665
That's why you're opening.
And I'm headlining.

of the whole show
and Lestat's journey
1354
01:02:05,765 --> 01:02:09,334
is his whole life might be
a total train wreck,
1355
01:02:09,464 --> 01:02:11,336

1356

1358
01:02:19,779 --> 01:02:21,999
For me, the greatest shock
of this episode
1359
01:02:22,086 --> 01:02:24,001
was bringing Paul back into it.
1360
01:02:24,131 --> 01:02:26,264
And for Paul to be the one
that tells Lestat,
1361
01:02:26,394 --> 01:02:28,701
actually, Louis does love you.
1362
01:02:28,832 --> 01:02:31,791
- He has a hard time saying it.
1363
01:02:31,965 --> 01:02:33,750
Got that from my daddy.
1364
01:02:33,837 --> 01:02:36,013
- Beautiful,
beautiful moment with Paul
1365
01:02:36,100 --> 01:02:38,972
where Lestat is this person who,
1366
01:02:39,103 --> 01:02:40,757
however he wants
to be self-critical,
1367
01:02:40,887 --> 01:02:42,715
he also has to be self-loving
in some ways,
1368
01:02:42,846 --> 01:02:45,457
and that really opens his eyes.
1369
01:02:45,544 --> 01:02:47,676
- You didn't fail,
because somebody loved you.
1370
01:02:47,807 --> 01:02:49,983
I thought that was like, "Whoa,
heartbreaking, heartbreaking.
1371
01:02:50,070 --> 01:02:51,855
Insane." It's beautiful.
1372
01:02:52,029 --> 01:02:54,945
On second thought, save them
all from my provoked rage.
1373
01:02:55,032 --> 01:02:56,990

that they just pick up

As extreme as it all gets,
1376
01:03:00,646 --> 01:03:05,085
there is actually something
very simple about this reunion,
1377
01:03:05,172 --> 01:03:06,608
and maybe it's because it's
where they acknowledged
1378
01:03:06,695 --> 01:03:09,742
a future,
so they just pick up again.
1379
01:03:09,873 --> 01:03:11,222
