I am the vampire Lestat.
Stay tuned after
"The Terror: Devil in Silver"
for a special presentation
of the new AMC original series,
"The Vampire Lestat."
Previously on "Devil in Silver"
Behind that door,
I know what's doing this.
You're a man named Arnold.
You were brought to this unit in 1965.
We have to stop them.
It's up to us now.
I've been trying to get up the chain.
I need to get the world
to come in and see what's here.
- It's in you.
- [Grunts]
I know you're in there. I'll find you.
[Screaming]
Oh, good Lord!
[Shouts indistinctly]
[Indistinct chatter]
- Administrator Ambrose: Congratulations.
- Thank you.
[Clears throat, claps hands]
Doctor Walter,
what will we do without you?
Decades of service, yes.
But more than that,
you made this place what it is.
You have done so much for so many.
Cheers.
All: Cheers.
[Applauding]
Yes. Cheers.
[Loud clattering]
Administrator Ambrose: You're
really going to retire?
Finish your last shift, just
leave us to look after these
zombies?
[Glasses clink]
You don't think I helped these people?
Administrator Ambrose: Mm.
They're calm as cattle. I admit that.
No outbursts. No problems.
Totally docile.
You performed 813 lobotomies
on this unit.
After all that hard work,
what have you learned?
That I won't stop.
Not now.
Recently, a question entered my mind,
this
voice asking me,
could I do more good
out there than in here?
I thought about it
and finally, I said yes.
[Tense music playing]
I'm going to outfit a
recreational vehicle like that.
Um, a mobile office, if you will.
Perform the procedure
all over the country.
[Chuckles]
[Sinister music plays]
I can help so many more poor souls.

- This place is fucked up.
- Oh, yeah?
- What makes you say that?
- We need you down here.
We've got everyone sequestered

Let me ask you something.
Who's in charge?
Them or you?

Reporter: [Over radio] We are
now reporting the breaking news
that this storm, as it barrels
towards New York
and New Jersey,
has officially been designated
a powerful Category 5 hurricane.
Really?
The world's ending,
we're still doing medicine time?
- Yo, Josephine.
- especially of this magnitude.
Josephine.
This unit was poorly run.
Dr. Anand was a bad administrator.
I'm not shocked
that things turned out this way.
That's cold blooded.
It's the truth.
You want to end this thing?
Give us your keys.
You said, "What now?" I'm telling you.
Give me your keys.
- And what?
- I unlock the silver door.
I walk in there
and whatever's in there,
even if it's that patient,
I won't let it live.
But what if he really is
just an old man?
You know he's not. That's why
you're standing here talking to us.
If you don't give me your keys,
we're all gonna die in here today.
- I can't.
- She's shook. She won't help.

- Hey! Stay here, kid.
- Let me the fuck through.
Officer: Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Now you're pushing a child?!

- Hey, hey, hey!
- Everybody calm down.
- [Indistinct shouting]
Back up.
Hey! What's happening?
[Shouting continues]
Back the fuck up!
- Hey!
- Get your hand off me.
If you pull that gun,
you have to shoot me first.
Loochie: Are you gonna shoot
us all, Paw Patrol?
Man: No, no. This ain't worth it.
Go to the main door.
