Editor's note: The below interview contains spoilers for The Vampire Lestat finale. Tonight, The Vampire Lestat comes to a close — not with a bang (unless you count that final shot), but with a quiet reflection on some of the most impactful moments of the past two seasons. Lestat's (Sam Reid) head may be getting toted around by Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) in a bowling bag, but internally, he's grappling with his biggest failures as both a vampire and a human. Meanwhile, Louis (Jacob Anderson) is faced with Armand's (Assad Zaman) unique attempt to clear the air between them — to make "Armands," in his words, even if it occurs in the most twisted fashion possible. Although the episode wraps up with Lestat and Louis ultimately back in one piece, there's a looming sense that an even bigger threat still lies ahead. Before the premiere of "The Failures," Collider had the opportunity to speak to several cast members from The Vampire Lestat, including Bogosian and Zaman, about their characters' most crucial moments in the episode. Over the course of the interview, which you can read below, the co-stars break down Daniel and Armand's respective motivations for carrying out their grisly plan, what fuels Armand's decision to leave his mark on Louis, how much they know about where the story is heading in a potential fourth season, and more. COLLIDER: Eric, as much as Armand really lays out his motivation for this plan and the emotions at the heart of it, where did you land on what's driving Daniel to be a part of it? ERIC BOGOSIAN: Look, first of all, Daniel is completely thrown off by all the information that's coming at him, and he's a new vampire. It's a lot going on here, so he's grasping at something that can protect him. I think two things are going on. One, he's grasping at his anger, and that fuels what is going to end up happening. Eventually, even the anger will get stymied when the bowling bag gets taken away from him, so now that will rocket him into hopefully another season where he gets to be even angrier. I also think that Armand's power is way stronger than Daniel has even suspected. He is under his thrall. Daniel is mesmerized by Armand. Armand is pulling out all the stops on this one, and he's definitely got his spiderwebs around Daniel's brain and soul. So, I think he just gives into it for a while. Basically, he believes he's committing murder, which would be pretty finalizing. They decapitate the two main people so that Armand and Daniel can have their own TV series without these guys anymore. We can move on and get rid of them. They're way more interesting. One moment that did move me, though, and I think you can see moves Armand, is when Louis switches to telepathy and starts talking about Arun and that he's sorry for never giving Armand the love that he needed in their relationship. Is there a specific part of his speech that catches Armand off guard, or is everything Louis says in that moment just building to that reaction from him? ZAMAN: The sort of surprising beginning of that is when [Louis] says, “You and I didn't talk about it very much.” That's the first gateway into an acknowledgment and a confession that Armand wasn't aware that was going to come and wasn't really ready for. This has been really hard to keep to myself, because we all know that we've been leading to this, but I've had to try and sort of hold back on what Armand's motivations were and why he was doing this, and what he wants to get out of it. It's a really difficult thing for him to hear from the person he thought was the love of his life, acknowledging him in a way, and acknowledging Arun, when no one else has. Even though some of the information Armand will always keep, and Armand will always feed information, and it will always be littered with lies and manipulation, I think Louis knows the most about where he's been, but never really acknowledged it at the time. Armand never really got that acknowledgment, and so to get it in that last final moment was a really unexpected blow, and I think it really displaces him. You see a glimpse of that little boy for a moment. He does it beautifully. I read that last script, and I remember reading his monologue once, and then I never looked at it again. I purposely didn't want to ever look at that monologue again until I heard it from Jacob. The first time he did it in the space, it was just gorgeous. It really moved me, like properly moved me.
