After Armand departs for a hunt, Daniel and Louis speak privately about what transpired during the first interview in San Francisco in 1973. With the help of the files Raglan James gave to Daniel, the two start to piece together the details of that night. In San Francisco, not long after Armand's intervention, Louis and Armand enter into a heated argument. When Armand brings up his relationships with Claudia and Lestat, Louis finds it too hard to stomach and attempts suicide by going into the sunlight. Armand intervenes and saves his life. Louis writhes in pain for four days before Armand moves him to his coffin and aids his recovery. Armand taunts him by revealing that he has found Lestat telepathically. Lestat tries to reach out to Louis through Armand, but Armand refuses to pass along his message of love. Armand psychologically tortures and attempts to kill Daniel, but Louis stops him. Back in Dubai, both Louis and Daniel realize that Armand had heavily manipulated their memory of what happened that night.
