"Checking In" is the premiere episode of the fifth season of the anthology television series ''American Horror Story''. It aired on October 7, 2015 on the cable network FX. The episode was co-written by creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk and directed by Murphy. ==Plot== Two Swedish girls, Vendela and Agnetha (Helena Mattsson), are dropped off at the Hotel Cortez. They are approached at reception by Iris (Kathy Bates), who leads them to their room. While there, one of the girls asks for ice and while walking to the machine, she notices a maid (Mare Winningham) cleaning a sheet covered with blood and two children standing in the hallways. Back at the room, they both complain about a foul stench and quickly realize that it is coming from the mattress. After they cut it open, a bloody humanoid appears and attacks them. While waiting for the police to arrive, Iris assigns them Room 64 where one falls asleep. After hearing strange noises coming from the bathroom, she enters only to find ghostly children drinking her friend's blood. Homicide detective John Lowe (Wes Bentley) is grieving over the disappearance of his son Holden (Lennon Henry), who was abducted on the carousel at an amusement park five years prior, and since then, his relationship with his wife Alex (Chloë Sevigny) is failing. At a crime scene he receives an anonymous phone call pointing him to Room 64 at the Hotel Cortez. Meanwhile, at the hotel, heroin addict Gabriel (Max Greenfield) is put into Room 64 and is grabbed by The Addiction Demon who violently rapes him with a conical drill-bit dildo. When he is on the verge of passing out, Sally (Sarah Paulson) appears and asks him to tell her that he loves her. At the front desk, John is approached by Liz Taylor (Denis O'Hare), a cross dressing bartender who leads him to Room 64, where John falls asleep. Under his bed, a conscious Gabriel wakes up with a gasp. At exactly 2:25 he has a strange vision of a child, who he believes is his long lost son, Holden, who he wakes up and searches for. Later, Elizabeth (Lady Gaga), the hotel's bloodsucking, fashion obsessed owner and Donovan (Matt Bomer), Iris's son, approach a couple who they bring back to the Cortez and engage in group sex. Afterwards, The Countess and Donovan slit the couple's throats and relish in their blood. The Swedish girls are being held hostage in cages by Iris, who arrives and prepares a foul drink to purify their blood. However, she is interrupted by Sally, who sets one of the girls free for her own entertainment. While the girl runs to the front door, The Countess appears and slits her throat with her fingernail blade and tells Iris it can never happen again. Five years earlier, at an amusement park in Santa Monica, John, Alex, and their children Scarlet and Holden are playing. While Holden is riding, John is distracted by his phone and walks off. He notices that his son's horse on the carousel is vacant and shouts around saying his name. In the present, Will Drake (Cheyenne Jackson), the new owner, arrives at the Cortez with his son Lachlan (Lyric Lennon), and they are given a tour by real estate agent Marcy (Christine Estabrook). While viewing the penthouse, they interrupt Donovan who is sleeping and are introduced to Elizabeth, who shares interest with Will. After rummaging through her records, Lachlan is given a tour around a hidden game room where he is introduced to an unaged Holden. In 1994, Iris watches from her car as she stalks Sally and Donovan who check in to the Hotel Cortez. She enters the hotel to ask Liz Taylor, the previous desk clerk, about Donovan and Sally's location and is drawn to room 64. Inside, Sally pressures Donovan to take heroin and drugs him. When Iris enters she feuds with Sally before trying to help Donovan. Sally leaves and walks through the corridor, disoriented, and stops at the end of the corridor where she gazes out of a high window. Iris appears and angrily shoves Sally out the window to her death. Back at the room, Iris spots Elizabeth admiring Donovan and asks who she is. In the present, Alex and John agree to a separation. He packs his bags and moves into the Hotel Cortez, where he checks into Room 64, once again. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Checking In (American Horror Story)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
