FunTranscript
00:00Mozart, your father has died.
00:08I thought it might help to have the news delivered my friendly face.
00:13Is that where you are?
00:15There, in that demonic figure on the stage was his old father.
00:19And in that poor, wretched philander of Mozart himself.
00:23And I knew where in time I would place the final blade.
00:27How long do I have?
00:28I wouldn't linger.
00:30The mood is changing.
00:32You're a man out of time.
00:34I'm enjoying it.
00:36I found it rather, um, tuneful.
00:40And I'd say the whole thing's rather thin so far.
00:42You're getting distracted.
00:43You have to focus on the music.
00:45You made me realize everything I know about you.
00:47I've had to learn through your characters.
00:49And I wondered if you could ever open up to me.
00:52You can't stay with me.
00:54It is a good idea.
00:55There is always a reckoning.
00:58You told me to do this.
01:00This can't happen again.
01:01This was your idea, Mozart.
01:03He was weak, broken, and alone.
01:06So, into the darkness we go.
01:10From her, sir.
01:38Yes?
01:43Oh, thank goodness.
01:44My name is Alexander Pushkin.
01:47I've been searching for you.
01:49I, um, I've asked around everywhere.
01:52Cafes, bars, concert halls.
01:53And then finally I tried the post office.
01:55I don't know why I didn't start there.
01:56But, uh, here we are.
01:57What is it that you want, Mr. Pushkin?
02:02What is it that I want?
02:03Yes.
02:04Uh-huh.
02:05Well.
02:05Uh, I'm a writer.
02:11You might have heard of me.
02:15Or you might not.
02:15Anyway, I'm writing a play.
02:18Or rather, I'm hoping to write a play.
02:20Are you going around to everyone's houses to tell them individually?
02:22No.
02:25No.
02:26I came to find you because I'm hoping to write about your husband.
02:30No.
02:30Which one?
02:32I think you know which one.
02:35And what are you hoping to write about him?
02:37Well, I...
02:38I want to write about his death.
02:41He died of a fever.
02:42People think his music should have been some kind of shield.
02:47But he was flesh and blood, just like the rest of us.
02:51He got ill.
02:53Hmm.
02:56I heard something different.
02:58And what did you hear?
03:00I heard it was murder.
03:03You heard that?
03:04Yes.
03:05From who?
03:07The old Hofkappermeister, Salieri.
03:09He ended up in an asylum.
03:13He lost his mind.
03:14Did you know that?
03:16I did.
03:17Presumably you heard he died last year.
03:19Yes.
03:20And they say he was ranting and raving.
03:24Screaming like a baby towards the end.
03:27And they say in the weeks before he died,
03:29it was mostly incomprehensible, mostly nonsense.
03:31Hmm.
03:32Except for one thing.
03:35One thing he kept saying.
03:36He told them
03:40that it was he
03:42who killed your husband.
03:46Apparently they say he confessed.
03:50And apparently he confessed
03:52to you.
03:54What do you think of that?
04:01Because I can tell you what I think.
04:02I think that would make
04:05a pretty good story.
04:06The moral of his attorney-
04:27Oh yeah.
04:30I think that's it.
05:02I state merely it's a fact that I, on the 5th of December in the year 1791, killed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
05:17What am I to glean from all of this, Antonio?
05:21You still don't believe it.
05:23Oh, it's lacking something.
05:24What?
05:25Specificity.
05:26Oh.
05:28How did you do it?
05:30Poison?
05:31Strangulation?
05:32You desire details.
05:34Well, you have given me details of every other damn aspect of your life so far.
05:38I apologize.
05:39I thought I'd been providing context.
05:41Well, then, let's get to it.
05:43Your confession.
05:44You want me to let the world know that you killed my husband?
05:50I need to know how.
05:52I don't need to be convinced.
05:54I don't need to know how.
06:16Where is it that you go?
06:36I used to be more certain of your indiscretions,
06:40as it is carnal desires that he feeds tonight.
06:43You are inflicting wounds on me, but they were survivable.
06:48But this spectre walking through my house,
06:52what am I to make of this?
06:55I have known, Antonio.
06:59I have known everything.
07:02And every time I have looked at you,
07:04I have seen a fallible, ruined man,
07:07and that has brought me sadness.
07:09Now I see no man at all.
07:12The sins of the flesh are at least human.
07:16But what sins are you looking for when you creep out of here?
07:21I'll lock our bedroom door tonight
07:23and hope you don't think to look for me when you return.
07:26A fever was cutting through Vienna,
07:33killing those who didn't have the strength to fight it.
07:37And so night by night, I returned and weakened him further.
07:42His spirit, his body, and his mind.
07:49And his mind.
07:50And his mind.
07:51And his mind.
07:56Wasn't all alone, he had blood on me later.
07:58He sang the bed and busted his eyes.
08:01He prayed to God.
08:02He sang the deaf as he was looking for for my tears.
08:07His tellingandsup, he said thanks.
08:08CHOIR SINGS
08:38I'd been playing this little game, inspired by Don Giovanni.
08:57I stood outside his window every night for a week.
09:04The masked man come to drag him to hell.
09:08It's remarkable, really.
09:16How fragile the mind is.
09:19How quickly it unraveled.
09:22Yes, that was him.
09:28Unraveled.
09:29Unsure.
09:32And alone.
09:35What's up?
09:42May I come in?
09:47Please.
09:48Sorry to call on you so late.
09:56I...
09:56Well, I've been worried.
10:01You have a new commission?
10:03Did you speak with the Masons about the magic flute?
10:06Ah, I did.
10:09I'm afraid they've taken it rather badly.
10:12Symbols were intended as a tribute.
10:15I know.
10:15I explained that to them.
10:18I must admit, I was surprised by the force of their feelings on the matter.
10:22Don't worry.
10:23They'll calm down in time.
10:25I'm not sure I have that.
10:27You don't look well, Maestro.
10:32I haven't been sleeping.
10:35I try, but I can't.
10:36Why not?
10:40Do you believe in hell, Antonio?
10:44Yes, I do.
10:46Do you?
10:47I remember when I was staying in London as a child.
10:59My father became ill, bedridden for a few weeks.
11:06There was one night where his fever was particularly bad.
11:11I could hear something in the street outside, sort of singing.
11:17I thought perhaps it was the angels come to take him away.
11:25Or if not the angels, then something worse.
11:29Just the first time I can remember having this feeling.
11:34Like I was being shown.
11:40Death?
11:43I can feel the end is close, Antonio.
11:47I'm writing a requier.
11:53You just need to eat, Maestro.
11:56Curse yourself for something other than wine.
11:59I'll get you something.
12:01I'll be back soon.
12:07Your vessel is weak.
12:10Silence is coming.
12:12Let's see if you can speak without a tongue.
12:20I can stop it.
12:22I can.
12:23I can stop it.
12:24Let me.
12:26Give up your stum.
12:28God, just give me a sign.
12:32I'll end it all.
12:38All right.
12:47Is this what you want?
12:48Please, Kevin, please, speak for me once more.
13:06Let me stop.
13:09Let me stop.
13:14Let me stop.
13:15Hello.
13:30Hello?
13:39Hello?
13:40Hey.
13:40Hey.
13:40Hey.
13:41Hey.
13:41Hey.
13:42Hey.
13:42Hey.
13:45Leave.
14:05It's all right.
14:06Please.
14:15Let's go.
14:24Let's go.
14:45And what do you want from me?
15:02I want to know the truth, if there really was a confession.
15:07If I'm to write it, condemn a man, even a dead man,
15:11I want to know he was guilty of the crime I'm attributing to him.
15:16I don't want to be sued.
15:27Did the capital minister talk to you about the death of your husband?
15:30Yeah.
15:31And when was the last time you saw him?
15:37Salieri.
15:38It was after my husband's passing.
15:41He conducted a memorial concert for him.
15:50What are these?
15:51Oh, old letters.
15:53From Amadeus. Could I...
15:55No.
15:56It's a very nice apartment.
16:01And you live alone?
16:06No.
16:07No.
16:08I live with my sisters, Sophie and Aloysia.
16:11It's a comfortable life.
16:13Look, Sid.
16:17But your husband never made much when he was alive.
16:22For a while, he almost made as much as he spent.
16:25But then it dried up.
16:27Don Giovanni.
16:28The marriage of Figaro.
16:29The magic flute.
16:30How does the man who writes all of that end up penniless?
16:37Sabotage?
16:40What other reason could there be?
16:44Wolfgang, where are you?
16:48You feeling better?
16:49You got the basket I sent?
16:52The basket?
16:56Basket?
16:57Bread and eggs and milk.
16:58I left it outside the door.
17:00You didn't get it?
17:01I felt a bit distracted.
17:06Hello, Frau Cavalieri.
17:09Yes, Katarina.
17:10You remember Katarina.
17:11I wanted to bring her to see the great maestro again.
17:16In fact, we're off to see your opera.
17:19My opera?
17:20The magic flute.
17:21Katarina hasn't seen it yet, have you?
17:23No, I've heard wonderful things.
17:25Oh, it's really wonderful.
17:26I thought the masons were closing it down.
17:29No, no, no.
17:30On the contrary.
17:31Once they saw how lucrative it was, they found a place in their hearts to let it play on.
17:35Why didn't nobody tell me?
17:36Actually, you should...
17:37Where's your coat?
17:38You should come with us.
17:40No, I can't.
17:41Oh, come on.
17:42Three old friends and colleagues sharing the joy of your music together.
17:46When might we get another chance?
17:48Of course.
17:49Oh, my God.
17:50I know where you're going.
17:51I know where you're going to get me.
17:52I know what you're going to get all of these lights.
17:53I know where you guys are going to be walking.
17:54I'm not sure.
17:55You can see that and you know where you're going to get everything.
17:57You may be looking at all of these lights.
19:28The cellos were late.
19:58The cellos were late.
20:28The cellos were late.
20:58The cellos were late.
21:28The cellos were late.
21:30The cellos were late.
21:34The cellos were late.
21:36The cellos were late.
21:38The cellos were late.
21:40The cellos were late.
21:46The cellos were late.
21:48The cellos were late.
21:50The cellos were late.
22:24Oh, nice job.
22:31Oh, no.
22:32You can't sleep.
22:33Not yet.
22:35The work must be finished.
22:46Diminish the man, diminish the God.
22:54There you are.
23:09You took me there so people could see what I've become.
23:12I took you there because I thought it might raise your spirits to see your great success.
23:22May I?
23:23Dear God, I've always wondered with Figaro, Don Giovanni, the Masons.
23:50It's always felt as though some invisible hand was steering me to the rocks.
24:04Did I offend you so much?
24:09Did the music offend you so much?
24:11Yes, you offended me.
24:18You're obscene.
24:20Your nature, it's obscene.
24:23But your music, no.
24:32And for it to come from such a creature, how could I not take it as an insult?
24:38How could I not see the provocation in that?
24:43All this time, it just comes to you.
24:47It just comes to you.
24:48It just flows out of you like a stream running down a mountain and you give nothing in return.
24:53You make no sacrifice.
24:54No sacrifice.
24:55Look at me, Antonio.
25:02Do you remember when we sat on that stage and you asked me if I think music comes from God?
25:11Yes, and you said when you write, it's not to capture the voices of angels, they're just instructions.
25:16For an oboe player or something, yes.
25:20But you were right.
25:24I knew it.
25:27Look at this thing.
25:30It's bigger than us.
25:33It's unimaginable.
25:37I knew it then, but I was scared.
25:39You were scared?
25:40Why?
25:40Why were you scared?
25:41Because I don't understand.
25:42You must understand it.
25:44You must, you must know how you do it.
25:45You know, I need to know.
25:46I wish I could tell you.
25:49If only to unburden myself.
25:51Unburden yourself?
25:52Yes.
25:52For music.
25:54For some peace.
25:58It never stops.
25:59Oh, my God.
26:00Can you hear yourself?
26:01You are unbearable.
26:02I'm surprised you can't hear it in this room.
26:06I'm surprised the walls don't shake with it.
26:08I want to hear it!
26:09For a moment, a minute, a second.
26:12And I would do anything to have your gift.
26:14You wouldn't want this.
26:15You don't know how it feels.
26:17You wouldn't know what to do with it.
26:19I wouldn't know what to do with it.
26:21You stalked me like I'm praying for what would you do with this thing that you covered so much.
26:26You wouldn't kill it.
26:28Like it's killing me.
26:30What would you do with the silence I've suffered through?
26:33It will drive you mad.
26:35I couldn't stop thinking about you.
26:41I couldn't stop thinking about you writing your requiem.
26:45And so I kneeled down and I prayed to a God I hadn't spoken to in years to speak through me one last time.
26:54And if he did in return, I would offer him my own requiem for my own death.
26:59First, I offered him my love.
27:01Then I offered him my hate.
27:03And then finally, I offered him my whole life.
27:06And you know what I heard?
27:07I heard nothing.
27:13I've heard nothing.
27:17Oh God.
27:21Oh God.
27:26Come here.
27:30Come here, Antonio.
27:33Come.
27:33Come.
27:37Oh man.
27:59Close your eyes.
28:04Enjoy this.
28:05See mine.
28:09Requiem maternam domiis domini.
28:13Start low.
28:17Grant them eternal rest, our lord.
28:19Suison resort.
28:24Excuse me.
28:30When you attend the scene with me.
28:38Oh, sir.
28:42He did not hele이신 the sun.
28:44He웅 pas, so dandelion about the sea.
28:46I thought you were whether or not he did notlot.
28:47Verse их нужно repeat.
28:47You're a quam, maestro.
29:17Offer that to God and see what he says.
29:23You need to talk to him.
29:24What's that?
29:26It's too late.
29:32What did I do?
29:38Why did he not let me stop?
29:40He doesn't listen to us, Antonio.
29:46He doesn't listen to us.
29:52He doesn't listen to us.
29:57He doesn't listen to us.
30:04For a moment, I was the only man on Earth who knew.
30:20Who knew that we had lost the finest composer to have ever lived.
30:26God's tongue cut from his mouth, and only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:33God's tongue cut from his mouth.
30:43God's tongue cut from his mouth.
30:46God's tongue cut from his mouth.
30:51God's tongue cut from his mouth.
31:12My confession claims murder, and it's true enough.
31:17I'm responsible for his death.
31:19Without me, he would have lived longer.
31:22But I loved him.
31:24We wrote together.
31:26You wanted the details.
31:28You wanted the specifics.
31:32Well, there they are.
31:35The rest you know.
31:37God's tongue cut from his mouth.
31:55God's tongue cut from his mouth.
32:07God's tongue cut from his mouth.
32:13God's tongue cut from his mouth.
32:19God's tongue cut from his mouth.
32:37God's tongue cut from his mouth.
32:43God's tongue cut from his mouth.
32:59God's tongue cut from his mouth.
33:05God's tongue cut from his mouth.
33:09God's tongue cut from his mouth.
33:27God's tongue cut from his mouth.
33:31God's tongue cut from his mouth.
33:37God's tongue cut from his mouth.
33:39God's tongue cut from his mouth.
33:45God's tongue cut from his mouth.
34:01CHOIR SINGS
34:31Well, there we are.
34:36What a story.
34:42I wonder what he's doing.
34:44I'm going to go home. Go to bed.
34:46No, you can't.
34:47It's late. I'm old. Tired?
34:50But what about my confession?
34:51What do you want me to do with this, Antonio?
34:54Run through the streets proclaiming your lies.
34:57You didn't kill him.
34:58You didn't compose with him.
34:59And you certainly didn't love him.
35:02I will leave you in peace now.
35:03Leave me in peace?
35:04I mean, everybody's left me in peace.
35:08Do you know what it's been like to watch myself disappear,
35:11to see my name and reputation fade as your husband's has grown?
35:15But there it is.
35:16This entire story has been a pathetic attempt
35:18to tie your name to my husband's legacy.
35:20I'm asking to be remembered.
35:24Just remembered.
35:26I have sat in your husband's shadow and it is cold.
35:31And it is dark.
35:33I have lived long enough to see myself become extinct.
35:38Forgotten.
35:38Salieri.
35:40His life.
35:41His music.
35:43Oh, God.
35:46They won't remember your music.
35:50If this confession gets out,
35:52you live on immortal.
35:54Trapped in a story you do not control.
35:56Told by people who do not care about the truth.
36:00Is that really what you're asking me to do?
36:02To be forgotten is a gift.
36:32I looked up Wolfgang's burial records,
36:55his funeral.
36:56It was a modest affair.
36:57Minimal mourners.
36:59You didn't go.
37:00It was December, Herr Pushkin.
37:02It was a storm.
37:04I said goodbye to Wolfgang later.
37:06My own way.
37:08Some people did go to the burial.
37:09Did you know that?
37:10Yes.
37:11Franz went.
37:12Yes, Herr Sussmaier went.
37:14And did he ever tell you who else was present?
37:16No.
37:18A record shows six mourners present at your husband's funeral.
37:22Sussmaier von Strach,
37:23three junior members of the Viennese Opera,
37:26and one Antonio Salieri.
37:30You didn't know.
37:35What drove him there, do you think?
37:37Love?
37:38Hate?
37:41Guilt?
37:42God, I don't know.
37:44And what about Salieri's funeral?
37:47I wasn't invited.
37:48No, well, sparsely attended, I believe.
37:50Not many friends in the end.
37:53But a much more lavish affair.
37:55The old Hofkappelmeister still demands a grand send-off.
38:00He'd even prepared his own composition.
38:04His own requiem to be played.
38:08Taken from the conductor at Salieri's funeral.
38:16Played only once.
38:19At his request.
38:22Have a look.
38:22Why are you showing me this?
38:32Just keep looking.
38:40Do you see it?
38:43Both their hands.
38:45You knew these two men better than anyone from outside.
39:05What is the truth?
39:06What is it?
39:26What is it?
39:27I can tell you a story, Mr. Pushkin.
39:52How silly Harry killed Mozart. But the truth of it, the real truth, that will die with me. I hope your audience enjoys it.
40:22Dawn has come. And I must release you. And myself. One moment's violence, and it is done.
40:42You see, I cannot accept this. I did not live on this earth to be his joke for eternity. I will be remembered.
40:50If not in fame, then in infamy. One more moment, and my battle with him is won.
41:00I shall be immortal after all. For the rest of time, whenever men say Mozart with love, they will say Salieri with love.
41:15Now I go to become a ghost myself. But I will stand in the shadows when you come here to this earth in your terms.
41:28And when you feel the dreadful bite of your failures, and you hear the taunting of an uncaring God, I will whisper my name to you.
41:41To Salieri, the patron saint of mediocrities. And in the depth of your downcastness, you can pray to me.
41:55Pray to me. I will forgive you.
