ANNOUNCER: FX presents What We Do in the Shadows.

[bats squeal]

[lively gusli strumming]

It's nightfall.

The job of a vampire's familiar

is not an easy one.

It's very dangerous.

I mean, they are vampires, after all.

We can go in now.

Good evening, Master.

MAN [muffled]: Guillermo?

Yes, sir?

-Is that you? -Yes, Master.

-Okay. -Okay, Master.

It's time to... rise.

MAN: The... Okay.

[rattling]

MAN: Guillermo, it is stuck.

I think it is the latch.

GUILLERMO: Being a vampire's familiar

is like being a best friend.

Who-Who's also a slave.

-MAN: Guillermo, it's too loud.-What?

GUILLERMO: Tomorrow night marks

the ten-year anniversary since

I started working for my Master.

I think he's planning something pretty special.

[whispers]: I think he's gonna make me a vampire.

MAN: This is very embarrassing.

[whispering]: Okay, Master.

He awakens.

[lively strumming]

Very cool, Master.

Very scary.

Thank you.

NANDOR: Everyone?

Nadja, Laszlo.

-Yeah? -Yes? -Can you come downstairs

for a second, please?

Thank you, Laszlo.

In your own time, Nadja. [chuckles]

Yes, good, excellent.

So, listen.

We have received a letter

and I would like very much to read it to you.

-But not here, we want to go into the library. -Why not here?

I'd like to read it in there. It's just a formality.

It'll sound exactly the same if you

read it here than if you read it in there.

I'm not going to disagree with you, but that's not the point.

NANDOR: I was a very ferocious soldier

in the Ottoman Empire.

Which meant a lot of killing, lot of pillaging.

People would say, "Please, don't pillage me."

And I would say, "No.

I'm pillaging everyone, you included."

I was relentless.

They would call me Nandor

the Relentless.

Because I just never relent.

So I'd like very much for us to go into there, please.

Just a formality.

Come on, please, it's just a formality.

-You could have read it by now.-Hmm.

Just a formality, okay? Look, it's not even that far.

-Oh, fuck this, fine. -Thank you, Laszlo.

It's just a formality, please, Nadja.

-Just a formality, thank you. -[Nadja groaning]

Guillermo, the door.

-That wasn't so bad, was it? -[door creaks shut]

Now before we go into the reading of the letter,

I wanted to talk about general hygiene in the cell.

-[groans] -Last night,

there were all these people down there,

shouting and screaming, half-drunk.

Where did they find the alcohol?

No, they were half-drunk. They'd been half drunk.

-Oh. -Please, finish a whole victim

before moving on to a next one, okay?

It's very unhygienic.

I think I know who's leaving them down there,

-but I don't want to say.-If you've got something to say,

-then damn well say it. -It's not hygienic.

How dare you. [hisses]

[both hissing]

The problems with living with other vampires

are the vampires I have chosen to stay with.

[Nandor and Laszlo struggling]

Nandor is like

a big turkey just walking around

trying to control everything on the farm.

-Hyah! -[Laszlo snarls]

NADJA: And Laszlo is my big, crazy,

wild bear and we love to chase each other around the house.

-I ought to fucking kill you! -[panicked yelling]

We have a great time together.

LASZLO: I was the most handsome man

in our village.

His village was very badly affected

by leprosy and the plague.

That's true.

And I, myself, did contract leprosy,

but I was quite lucky 'cause it couldn't be seen.

It was only one part of my anatomy.

Well, I can see it.

Anyway, one night,

I was awoken by this...

horrible clawing at the window.

And I thought, "Who the hell is that?

'Cause I live on the third floor."

So I went to investigate it, I threw back the curtain...

Well, I saw the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

But she was gripping the window

and she was clawing at the glass.

I was hypnotized.

I used hypnosis on him.

Which I found out later.

Anyway, obviously I invited her in.

We were about to make love

when she turned into this hideous, leathery bat thing.

She drained me of my blood,

giving me the curse of eternal life

and thus making me a bloodthirsty

creature of the night.

[hissing]

[both hissing]

-[hisses] -[thuds]

Why don't we just write on them with marker pen?

Put our names and the date?

LASZLO: Oh, that's a good suggestion.

-NADJA: Yeah. -Good idea, Nadja.

Marker pens, Guillermo.

Make sure they're permanent.

-Sharpie. -LASZLO: Genius.

-NADJA: With date, as well. -Yes, great thinking, Nadja.

-And yes, this... yes. -The name of the month, day, year.

Okay.

And now we come...

to the reading... of the letter.

-[groans] -At last.

Guillermo? Close the door.

-The door's closed, Master. -Close it more.

More.

Good.

-Now that we are gathered here... -[snarling]

together as one, finally,

in accordance with the protocols...

Which you made up.

Yes.

We have received this letter.

From Baron... Afanas.

Really?

Yes.

NANDOR: How do you...

-GUILLERMO: Like that. -Shh.

The Baron...

...is coming to visit us.

Holy shit.

Silence, Guillermo.

Vampire comments only.

The Baron never leaves the old country.

Has he told us what the purposeof his visit is?

Uh...

No.

LASZLO: The Baron is a firm believer

that vampires should rule the world.

I think the main purpose for the Baron's visit

is to find out whether we as vampires

have populated America.

But as you can see,

the place is fucking massive.

When is he coming, exactly?

-Tomorrow. -Shit.

NANDOR: Why didn't you give this to me earlier?

It arrived this morning, Master.

[hisses]

NADJA: Baron Afanas is...

a very charming member of the vampire royalty.

A few hundred years ago,

we enjoyed a very intense, very long sexual affair.

It was pretty wild.

Lots of acrobatic stuff.

This could make it awkward,

to see him with Laszlo...

present.

LASZLO: Just between you and I,

a while back, the Baron and I

enjoyed a very intense sex affair.

Very animalistic.

Acrobatic stuff, you might say.

So I, personally,

am very much looking forward to reconnecting.

We should get a chariot led by

12 black alligators.

-I like that. -That's a lot of alligators,

a lot of paint.

What about a van?

A van? [groans]

That's not the same, is it?

Can you at least make sure it's black?

Yeah. Black van for tomorrow?

Excellent. Uh, what about the Baron's bloodlust?

-Virgins. -Oh, yes, let's do that.

Guillermo, two virgins by tomorrow evening.

-[Nadja chuckling] -Yes, when the Baron arrives

we shall feast on virgin blood.

[both cackling]

[vampires laughing]

[Guillermo chuckling]

Vampire only laughing.

-Should we tell Colin Robinson?-Laszlo,

-that is a terrible idea. -[Laszlo clears throat]

He'll ruin the evening.

Uh, what would ruin the evening?

I told you-- didn't close the door properly.

Are we having a house meeting?

-No. -No.

So, your gathering here...

is just a coincidence?

Yes.

COLIN: My name is Colin Robinson.

And I am what's known as

a psychic vampire.

Or energy vampire.

This is my office.

Also known as the hunting ground.

Hi, Deb.

Energy vampires drain people's energy

merely by talking to them.

Actual v. Budget, year-to-date, no thanks.

You're gonna be at that all day.

We either bore you

with a long conversation...

Feeling better now, I was a little sick this weekend.

[inhales sharply]

Hey, Don.

Don?

I have to pee, too.

Or...

Hey.

...we enrage you.

[sharpener whining, whirring]

In fact, you probably know an energy vampire.

We're the most common kind...

of vampire.

[sharpener screeching, whirring]

We are day-walkers, not affected by the sun.

[sharpener screeching]

And we are the only kind of vampire

that can drain another vampire's energy.

It's very cool.

The power grows stronger in him by the night.

[snoring]

GUILLERMO: There's different kinds of jobs that I have to do.

Keep the house tidy.

Make sure there's no sunlight.

["Danse Macabre" by Saint-Saens playing]

[mimicking Nandor]: Sunlight! Why, Guillermo,

why?!

Not on my watch.

Getting rid of carcasses,

I feel, is a big one.

So, we are under the stairs and this is my bedroom.

[chuckles softly]

This is a picture of me as Armand

from Interview with the Vampire.

Played by Antonio Banderas.

That was the first time I've ever seen

an Hispanic vampire

in mainstream, like, movies.

And I said, "If he can do it, I-I...

[scoffs] I can do it."

Guillermo... boarded this whole window up,

it's a huge sunlight risk.

We wouldn't want the Baron waking up to sunlight

and being turned into barbecue meat.

Yeah, really cover it.

He's made a lot of comments recently, like,

"I'm going to make you a vampire."

This is a little coffin toy that, uh...

I hope to be in one of these one day.

What ho, good friends.

LARPERS: What ho!

There's still a few places to find virgins.

LARPing stands for Live Action Role Playing.

In regular life, I'm just Jonathan.

But here, I am a very high-level paladin.

GUILLERMO: I'm not a killer.

I find people who are easy...

to... kill.

Is that a 14th-century battle-ax?

Oh, it's so exciting.

Uh, will we be able to touch the swords?

Oh, you'll touch the swords.

NADJA: We moved here from Europe

about 200 years ago because there was

a lot of prejudice against vampires at that time.

[people clamoring]

-[explosions, gunfire] -[man groans]

They don't like the color of our skin.

Or the fact that we killed and ate people.

Probably more that.

LASZLO: We're being very careful not to stand out,

which is why we're both dressed down.

-Uh, good evening. -Go back to your own country.

What the fuck did you just say?

You heard me, Ghost of Christmas Past bitch.

Oh, Mike, shut up.

Silence to you. We've been here since 1861.

At least, our families have.

Begone.

We should just suck their blood,I'm absolutely starving.

-They're perfect. -No, I'm furious.

He just insulted me, I'm in fifth gear.

-We should kill them. -Yes, that's what I'm saying.

-We should suck their blood. -Yes.

[both moaning]

-LASZLO: Now? -NADJA: Wait. Wait, darling.

-Now? -Now!

What? [grunts]

-Mike? -[slurping, Mike groaning]

Where the fuck are you?

[snarling, gulping]

What the fuck?

Yum, yum, yum. He was delicious.

Now, listen, I don't know about you,

but I'm very much in the mood for some sexual intercourse.

[both laughing]

Darling. Right next to the public toilet?

Yes. But why don't I get home,

get cleaned up, then we can carry on with our love-making.

Um, I'm going to walk home.

-[chuckles]-Why the hell would you do that?

Why would you walk home?

When you could turn into a bat?

Bat!

[bat squeaking]

NANDOR: I would like some of that, uh,

colorful dust that sparkles.

-Glitter? -Yes.

Get me some glitter.

Whatever for, Master?

Oh, I want to do something special

for the Immortal One's arrival.

I'm going to sprinkle it on my face and on my body.

Like Twilight.

So deliciously macabre.

-Creepy paper. -It's crepe paper.

-Creepy paper. -It's crepe paper, Master.

Creepy... Oh, multipack.

Master, this is pretty "macarbre."

[groans]

[gasps, screams]

NANDOR: Guillermo is my familiar,

but sometimes he's a little toofamiliar, you know what I mean?

I mean, he's always just there.

I think it's good, Master.

NANDOR: I mean, he works really hard,

he's just not great at it.

Guillermo, my cape is stuck.

[Guillermo grunts]

I don't like saying this kind of thing

in front of him, of course.

Sorry, Guillermo.

I don't like saying this kind of thing in front of you.

That's okay, Master.

[scanner beeping]

Lot of glitter.

-Cash or card? -Credit.

You cannot pay with that.

GUILLERMO: I'm so sorry.

-Did you just throw a coin at me? -Yes.

Sir, you can't be throwing ancient coins at me.

-Just... Credit card's fine. -Guillermo, stab this man.

-He's joking. -Stab him.

-Ahh... -Thank you.

-I tried, and... -Here you go, man.

-Thank you so much. -You kind of disobeyed me just now.

And I'm noting it.

NADJA: Recently I have been seeing another man.

[rasping growl]

He doesn't see me, though, because I sneak behind him.

I watch him in the night,

in secret.

In the old country, centuries ago,

I was in a very passionate love affair

with a human man called Gregor.

He was a knight.

He got decapitated in battle.

I don't think I ever really got over Gregor.

Even when I met Laszlo.

June, I've lost my boot.

June?

Come on, June.

The man I saw last night,

I think it is him.

I think it is my reincarnated ex-boyfriend Gregor,

with his head.

LASZLO: Put it on, June.

-Shut up, Laszlo! -Yes, there we are.

Boot on.

Okay, it's just down here somewhere.

Why haven't I been to this part of the house before?

It's so lovely.

-No one has for 80 years. -[gasps] Gorgeous.

What are we doing down here?

There is a chamber, okay?

It's going to be perfect for the bloodfeast.

If we have the ceremony in here,

then you-know-who won't even need to know.

I mean Colin.

-Colin, what are you doing in here? -Oh...

This is my bedroom. I'm resting.

[door creaking]

-[hissing] -You idiot.

I didn't know he was gonna be in there.

-Why didn't you check? -[stammering]

It's fine, we're gonna have the ceremony in the attic.

We can't, the StairMaster's in there.

Well, we're going to move the StairMaster.

[ship's horn bellows]

LASZLO: Is it definitely this boat?

NANDOR: There he is.

NADJA: I knew he'd have a big box.

June, you need to go and fetch him.

[ship's horn bellows]

WHARFINGER: Sir, I just need someone to sign for it.

-Where's the pen? -So, the tablet is the paper.

Your finger is the pen.

Okay, that's weird.

Okay, that's nothing.

Both of you, for some reason, aren't registering here.

You got long nails maybe or something?

Would you like a go, Laszlo?

-Do you have a quill? -No, it's all digital.

Then I'm not signing that.

Guillermo, give me your hand.

-Ah. -Okay!

GUILLERMO: I think the baron might be here

to see me become a vampire.

That would be really cool.

[inhales sharply] I'm ready.

[exhales]

NADJA: I should be preparing for the bloodfeast,

but I can't seem to stay away from new Gregor.

[whispers]: Man. Human man. Man!

-S-Sorry, what did you say? -Gregor,

it is you.

Oh, my name is Jeff.

-Jeff? -J-Jeff Suckler.

My sweet Greg... Jeff S...

Really-- J-Jeff Suckler?

-Yeah. -Ew.

[somber organ music plays]

I call that "Nadja's Theme."

[clock chiming]

[chiming stops]

Guillermo, are the virgins arriving soon?

They should be any minute now, Master.

-Fingers crossed. -[hissing]

Sorry.

Don't do that.

[doorbell rings]

Ah. Dinner is served.

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum....

[door creaks open]

Hello. [chuckles] So glad you could make it.

Please come in, quickly.

[quiet, indistinct chatter]

Everyone, this is Jenna and Jonathan.

-Hi. -Hi.

Are you virgins?

LASZLO: Mm.

I don't see how that's relevant.

-Mm. -I'm actually

in a relationship online,

but we've yet to meet IRL.

Well done, Guillermo.

Yeah.

JONATHAN: All right, okay, let's do it.

[indistinct chatter]

Are they a vampire LARP group?

Yeah, well, why don't we wait in here?

The party's gonna start in a few minutes,

so we can just hang out, and I'll come get you when...

[people moaning, muttering]

GUILLERMO: No. No, no, no! No, no, no, no.

No, no, no. I said no!

[indistinct muttering, groaning continues]

[Guillermo exhales]

We take our LARPing very seriously.

And that was just an example. I wanted you to see that.

I'm inspired.

So, are you a knight?

Yeah, I'm... Well, no, uh, sorry.

I thought you were gonna say "night watchman."

I'm a-I'm a night watchman

Mmm.

Protector of the people.

Oh, no, not-not really.

[laughing loudly]

Oh, my sweet Gregor-Jeff,

I forgot how much ofa fantastic raconteur you were.

-[laughing] -Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Ooh, do you remember that first time

that we made love, and it was so passionate

that I accidentally cut off your head?

-No. What? -Mm!

But then I kept going, squeezing

until my needs were met. Hmm.

We should do that again.

But I mustn't. But I want to.

But you can't.

But I have been married for such a long time.

-[laughing] -Oh.

[groaning violently]

-I must go. -Okay.

-Let me just get your number before you go... -[bat squeaking]

...so we can... I can... we can do that again.

It should have been human skin, obviously.

And I deeply apologize for the StairMaster.

-It's all his fault. -I go through all this effort, I get the creepy paper.

-I get Guillermo to... -LASZLO: It's not "creepy."

It's crepepaper, crepe.

Silence!

I come with a proclamation.

The old ways...

are over.

Which is what I just said.

The New World, as you call it,

It's like they're not even here.

-They are filming me? -Yes.

NANDOR: Just pretend like they're not there.
