The AMC pilot of the reconstructed Interview With the Vampire stars Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac, Sam Reid as Lestat, and Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy.

Not just any tapes; the tapes he made when he first interviewed Louis de Pointe du Lac in the ‘70s.

Next, Louis is shown in the midst of a disagreement with Paul, his brother who is mentally ill and preaching to the women Louis employs.

As soon as he lets go of Paul and stalks away we see Lestat staring after him.

Next, after a tense family breakfast, Louis and Paul head to church, saying that his religion is at odds with his career.

They sit at a table with Lily, another sex worker; Louis speaks French, and Lestat is in his feels so deep it’s absolutely absurd.

As they talk, as Louis speaks to Daniel nearly a century in the future, Lestat seduces Louis.

Next, Louis heads into a poker game, full of white men, including Lestat and Fenwick.

Then, in a moment of undeniable seduction, Lestat speaks to Louis telepathically.

As Lestat mentions that he and Louis went to the opera, Paul asks Lestat, pointedly, what is the nature of his relationship with Louis!

And when Paul keeps pushing, keeps pressing, Lestat begins to perform one of his mind tricks.

As Louis walks Lestat home, the vampire remarks that the earth is a savage garden.

So when Lestat joins Lily and Louis on the couch for a ménage à trois, it takes maybe four seconds for her to fall magically asleep and for Louis and Lestat to start making out like teenagers.

In what might be the wildest moment of the entire episode, Louis and Lestat levitate, naked, as Lestat sucks Louis’ blood!

Despite enjoying himself, experiencing an intense feeling of intimacy, Louis promises that he won’t return to Lestat.

He instead focuses on his family, and the next scene shows Louis and Paul celebrating Grace at her wedding.

As Paul and Louis talk about love, family, and God, Paul walks to the edge of the rooftop and steps off, ending his life.

As Louis and his family deal with Paul’s manner of death and their Catholicism, Lestat makes his move when Louis is weakest.

Lestat, obsessed, out of his mind, haunts Louis as he wanders the rainy streets, goes to the Fairplay Saloon, and finally ends up at the church.

It’s absolutely the wildest, goriest, weirdest part of this episode, because immediately afterwards he stalks towards Louis and tells him that this country has bound him to expectations of courtesy that are beneath him.

And Lestat, despite having killed two men, is demanding that Louis see himself, is forcing Louis to look in a mirror and see his rage and fury and sorrow.

Lestat might be the first person to ever tell Louis to embrace those feelings, to command them, to keep them by his side, ready to feel and experience over and over again.

At the end of the episode Louis reaches out to Lestat and kisses him.

As Louis explains this to Daniel, the music crescendos, and this is the end, the beginning, the death of Louis de Pointe du Lac, and his rebirth.
