Starvation.

it can be done.

Yeah, but she didn't
say that explicitly.

I mean, maybe in some of
the pages that got torn out.

Well, not torn out, exactly.

More like with a ruler.

But, um...
there's a feeling

that she hated your guts
there for a while.

Why is that?

I was haunted by
my brother's death,

by the abandonment
of my sister,

by the murder of Lestat,
I --

Murder?
What murder?

It was an act of mercy.

You didn't kill Lestat.

You spared him,
out of some fucked-up idea

you had about love.

[Scoffs] Love?

I bled him like a pig and waited
for the death rattle.

You were shot point-blank
by an alderman.

You were dropped a thousand feet
and survived.

You torched Antoinette
just to make sure.

Where does the trash go,
Louis?

♪

[Both grunting]

You take the trash down
to the street

and some guys show up
in a truck

and they throw it
in the back,

and then, they drive it

out to the middle
of nowhere, right?

No.

They take the trash
to the dump.

And having lived two blocks
away from the dump

just outside of Fishkill,
New York, with my first wife,

I can state, with authority,
what else you'll find there.

Rats.

Big fuckin' rats, the size
of Kevin Durant's sneakers.

Enough blood in them
to bring back the dead.

Especially one in a trunk
with locks on the inside.

You knew it, Louis.

You had to.

The biggest rat-eater

No, she couldn't.

No.

No.

No!

Was it raining,
Louis?

She couldn't burn him.

You cursed her
into the darkness.

You chose Lestat over her,

Louis: If you are really quick
it can be done,

but could it be done by us
to him?

Could the children
murder their father?

Episode 7,
"The Thing Lay Still."

We were promised the death
of Lestat,

and so we must kill Lestat.

Slowly, Claudia makes a pitch.

Claudia: I have a plan,
and it's gonna take both of us.

And she has to take
the lead because Louis

is too close to Lestat
and at this point too weak.

The plan only works
if he's distracted.

She does what any good
plotter does.

She makes it ultimately turn out
to make Lestat think

that it's his idea.

If we starved ourselves for a
night or several nights prior,

the hunger
would be transcendent.

A meal fit for a king.

To get Lestat
at his most egoistical

and his most blinded,
yes, maybe then

I will buy this idea
to lets go out with a bang.

Let's not be these hiding,
shrieking vampires.

Let's leave rooms full of bodies
and get on out

on the last train.

But Louis, you got to open
your heart back up to him.

That is the thing that will
blind Lestat more than anything.

A last dance
before the feast.

It is the swooning heights
of the uber romanticism

of ours is this dance in front
of everybody and this kiss.

Lestat cannot help himself.

He's so in love with Louis.

But in the middle of the party,

we are picking our victims out.

We're gonna have the great feast

of our life,
so it can't just be one victim.

It's gonna be like one of these
horrible tasting menus

where we're just gonna gather up
all these people

that know we have
the fountain of youth

and come back to our
after party.

Would you like to know
the secret of immortality?

Well, of course, my dear.
Who wouldn't?

There they are, but they are
there only as the grand plan,

get Lestat looking this way
and now we have

a little bit of fun.

Give me that ladle.

♪

It's empty.

Not for long, Tom.

[Screams]

Most of them are sort
of the ugly ones

that we have seen
throughout the show,

but then, look at the twins.

We all know the books.

Go to the twins,
go to the twins.

You broke up the pair.

I know you wanted them both,
but Louis couldn't resist.

I'm sorry, my love.

And then there's this mysterious
man in the tuxedo.

What is that all about? Very
strange little detail there.

And, you know,
you guys are all savvy.

You know something's
not right here.

I can't be that easy, until you
had that reverse line.

I've always known Antoinette
was out there.

So, if you played everybody's
sort of arcs,

no one quite knew everything.

How? Who?

Jones: Claudia knew
that eventually

if we put Tom Anderson in there,
make him drink

poison blood,
he would go after Tom Anderson.

He who called you him.

Him? [Laughs]

They don't quite know totally
how to kill a vampire,

but they think
that'll do the job.

Always the petty sights
with you, Uncle Les.

♪

Back to Dubai, Molloy
starts asking questions

and some very probing questions.

What actually did happen
that night?

So, what did you do with it?

It's very, very simple.

What you're supposed to do
is you're supposed

to clean up your dead.

You're supposed
to put the vampire

in the incinerator.

Why didn't you do it?

There's a feeling
that she hated

your guts there for a while.
Why is that?

The girl did not
have a fucking problem

tossing him on the grill,
okay?

The sun's coming up.
No.

We have to burn him.
No.

It's the only way
we'll know.

No!

I said no!

And I think Louis
is remembering that

for the first time
in a long time.

You've only heard
half the story.Stop.

This is the same shit that
happened in San Francisco.

Jones: It forces the vampire
Armand to jump in.

This time
I won't save your life.

Louis can sometimes act out.

I protect him from himself.

Jones: It's not, I think,
just to protect Louis

from maybe going ape shit
and killing Molloy.

I think there is a story
that has been told to Louis

that Louis has told
to himself that maybe

Armand has told to him, too.

For those people who have
ever read the book,

this is a major player
out there, folks.

This is the leader
of a coven of vampires

and one who is very,
very powerful.

So, yeah, that last line,
we were sort of looking for

like the ending to the graduate,
this sort of very

unsettling wait, what?

I'd like you to meet...

the vampire Armand.
