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.
04:06See you more now.
04:08See you more.
04:09See you more.
04:10Bye-bye.
04:10Bye-bye.
04:14Bye-bye.
04:34Bye-bye.
05:05I state merely as 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 decide details.
05:33Well, 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.
05:46You 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 know how this is going to be .
06:04I know how.
06:06I know how this is.
06:07I know how, this is.
06:11Where is it that you go?
06:36I used to be more certain of your indiscretions.
06:39It is his carnal desires that he feeds tonight.
06:44You are inflicting wounds on me, but they were survivable.
06:48But this spectre walking through my house, what 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, I 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 and hope you don't think to look for me when you return.
07:25A fever was cutting through Vienna, killing those who didn't have the strength to fight it.
07:38And so night by night, I returned and weakened him further.
07:44His spirit, his body, and his mind.
07:50He said to him.
07:55He goes on to the door.
07:59He goes on to the door.
08:03CHOIR SINGS
08:33I'd been playing this little game, inspired by Don Giovanni.
08:56I stood outside his window every night for a week.
09:03The masked man come to drag him to hell.
09:10It's remarkable, really.
09:15How fragile the mind is.
09:19How quickly it unravels.
09:22Yes, that was him.
09:26Unraveled.
09:28Unsure.
09:30Unsure.
09:33And alone.
09:37What's up?
09:38May I come in?
09:39Please.
09:40Sorry to call on you so late.
09:44Well, I've been worried.
09:45You have a new commission?
09:51Did you speak with the Masons about the magic flute?
09:52Ah, I did.
09:53I'm afraid they've taken it rather badly.
09:58The symbols were intended as a tribute.
09:59I know.
10:00I explained that to them.
10:01I must admit, I was surprised by the force of their feelings on the matter.
10:08Don't worry.
10:09They'll calm down in time.
10:10I'm not sure I have that.
10:11You don't look well, Maestro.
10:15I haven't been sleeping.
10:16I try, but I can't.
10:17Why not?
10:18Do you believe in hell, Antonio?
10:19Yes, I do.
10:20Do you?
10:21I do.
10:22Do you?
10:23Do you?
10:24I do.
10:25I don't.
10:26I do.
10:27I'm not sure I have my feelings on the matter.
10:30But don't worry.
10:31I'll calm down in time.
10:33I'm not sure I have that.
10:34You don't look well, Maestro.
10:36I haven't been sleeping.
10:37I try, but I can't.
10:38Why not?
10:40Do you believe in hell, Antonio?
10:43Yes, I do.
10:45Do you?
10:48I 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.
11:18I 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?
11:43Can feel the end is close, Antonio.
11:45I'm writing a requier.
11:53You just need to eat, my son.
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 stumms.
12:28God, just give me a sign.
12:34I'll end it all.
12:35All right.
12:47Is this what you want?
12:55Please give him.
12:58Please.
12:59Please.
13:02Speak for me once more.
13:05Let me stop.
13:09Let me stop.
13:14Let me stop.
13:17Give me a sign.
13:20Give me a sign.
13:23So let's see.
13:24We'll find out.
13:26This is where we have a sign.
13:29Hello?
13:30Hello?
13:30Hello?
13:30Hello?
13:35I'll find out.
13:36I don't know.
14:06I don't know.
14:36I don't know.
15:07If I'm to write it, condemn a man, even a dead man, I 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 master talk to you about the death of your husband?
15:30No.
15:34And when was the last time you saw him?
15:37Salieri.
15:38Hmm.
15:38It was after my husband's passing.
15:42He conducted a memorial concert for him.
15:44What are these?
15:52Oh, old letters.
15:53From Amadeus.
15:54Could I...
15:55No.
15:55It's a very nice apartment.
16:04And you live alone?
16:07No.
16:07No.
16:08I live with my sisters, Sophie and Aloysia.
16:10It's a comfortable life.
16:14Look, 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?
16:31How does the man who writes all of that end up penniless?
16:38Sabotage?
16:38What other reason could there be?
16:45Wolfgark, where are you?
16:48You feeling better?
16:49You got the basket I sent?
16:52The basket?
16:56Basket?
16:56Bread and eggs and milk.
16:59I left it outside the door.
17:00You didn't get it?
17:01I felt a bit distracted.
17:06Hello, frowl.
17:08Cavalieri.
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.
17:29On the contrary, once they saw how lucrative it was,
17:32they 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?
17:48And one of the additional parts is coming from the
18:05and who knows what happens to be?
18:05Let me apply tonight to the next song.
18:06You should be counting on them.
18:07And who knows what happens to doing?
22:46Diminish the man.
22:48Diminish the God.
22:56That way.
23:00There you are.
23:02There you are.
23:09You took me there so people could see what I've become.
23:13I took you there because I thought it might raise your spirits
23:16to see your great success.
23:23May I?
23:32Dear God.
23:40I've always wondered with Figaro to Giovanni to Masons.
23:54It's always felt as though some invisible hand was steering me to the rocks.
24:03Did I offend you so much?
24:09Did the music offend you so much?
24:15Yes, you offended me.
24:18You're obscene.
24:20Your nature, it's obscene.
24:25But your music...
24:29No.
24:33And for it to come from such a creature,
24:36how could I not take it as an insult?
24:40How could I not see the provocation in that?
24:44All this time, it just comes to you.
24:46It just flows out of you like a stream running down a mountain and you give nothing in return.
24:53You make no sacrifice.
24:55No sacrifice?
24:58Look at me, Antonio.
25:00Do you remember when we sat on that stage and you asked me if I think music comes from God?
25:12Yes, 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.
25:21But you were right.
25:24I knew it.
25:27Look at this thing.
25:28It's bigger than us.
25:33It's unimaginable.
25:37I knew it then, but I was scared.
25:39I was scared? Why? Why were you scared?
25:41Because I don't understand.
25:43You must understand it. You must know how you do it. I need to know.
25:46I wish I could tell you.
25:49If only to unburden myself.
25:51Unburden yourself?
25:52Yes.
25:53For music.
25:55For some peace.
25:58It never stops.
25:59Oh, my God.
26:00If you hear yourself, you are unbearable.
26:02I'm surprised you can't hear it in this room.
26:05I'm surprised the walls don't shake with it.
26:08I want to hear it!
26:10For a moment, a minute, a second, I would do anything to have your gift.
26:13You wouldn't want this. You 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, but what would you do with this thing that you covered so much?
26:26You wouldn't kill him.
26:28Like it's killing me.
26:30What would you do with the silence I've suffered through?
26:34It will drive you mad!
26:39I couldn't stop thinking about you.
26:40I couldn't stop thinking about you.
26:42I couldn't stop thinking about you writing your requiem.
26:46And 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.
26:58First 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?
27:10I heard nothing.
27:14I've heard nothing.
27:15I've heard nothing.
27:18Oh God.
27:22Oh God.
27:26Come here.
27:31Come here Antonio.
27:33Come.
27:34Come here.
27:56Oh man.
27:59Close your eyes.
28:04In Troitus.
28:06C minor.
28:08Requiume etam tomatis dominus.
28:10Start low.
28:16Grant them eternal wrath my lord.
28:22Oh, my God.
28:52Prysnes! Prysnes! Prysnes! Prysnes! Prysnes!
29:14You're requiem, Maestro.
29:19Offer that to God and see what he says.
29:23You need to talk to him. What's that?
29:27It's too late.
29:32What did I do?
29:38Why did he not let me stop?
29:41He doesn't listen to us, Antonio.
29:52I was the only man on Earth who knew.
29:53I was the only man on Earth who knew.
29:57Who knew that we had lost the finest composer to have ever lived.
30:03I was the only man on Earth who knew.
30:07God's tongue cut from his mouth.
30:08And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:13And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:14And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:15And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:19And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:20And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:21And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:26And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:27And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:29And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:31And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
30:33And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
31:01And only jealous Salieri there to mourn him.
31:13My confession claims murder.
31:15And 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.
31:30Well there they are.
31:33The rest you know.
31:35The rest you know.
31:55Who's that?
31:57Who's good?

34:13Well, there we are.
34:36What a story.
34:43I wonder what he's doing.
34:45I'm going to go home, go to bed.
34:47No, you can't.
34:48It's late.
34:49I'm old, tired.
34:50But what about my confession?
34:52What do you want me to do with this, Antonio?
34:54Run through the streets proclaiming your lies.
34:57You didn't kill him, you didn't compose with him,
35:00and you certainly didn't love him.
35:02I will leave you in peace now.
35:04Leave me in peace?
35:05Everybody'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, and it is dark.
35:33I have lived long enough to see myself become extinct.
35:37Forgotten.
35:39Salieri.
35:40His life.
35:41His music.
35:43Or gone.
35:47They won't remember your music.
35:49If this confession gets out, you live on immortal,
35:53trapped in a story you do not control,
35:56told by people who do not care about the truth.
35:59Is that really what you're asking me to do?
36:02I'm begging you.
36:11To be forgotten is a gift.
36:14To be forgotten is a gift.
36:44I looked up Wolfgang's burial records.
36:54His funeral.
36:55It was a modest affair.
36:57Minimal mourners.
36:59You didn't go.
37:00It was December, Herr Pushkin.
37:02It was a storm.
37:03I said goodbye to Wolfgang later.
37:06My own way.
37:07Some people did go to the burial.
37:09Did you know that?
37:10Yes.
37:11Franz went.
37:12Yes, Herr Sussmaier went.
37:13And did he ever tell you who else was present?
37:15No.
37:18A record shows six mourners present at your husband's funeral.
37:21Sussmaier von Strack, three junior members of the Viennese Opera,
37:26and one Antonio Salieri.
37:32You didn't know?
37:35What drove him there, do you think?
37:37Love?
37:38Hate?
37:39Guilt?
37:40God, I don't know.
37:41And what about Salieri's funeral?
37:42I wasn't invited.
37:43No.
37:44Well, sparsely attended, I believe.
37:45Not many friends in the end.
37:46But a much more lavish affair.
37:47The old Hofkappelmeister still demands a grand send-off.
37:48He'd even prepared his own composition.
37:52His own requiem to be played.
38:07Taken from the conductor at Salieri's funeral.
38:11Played only once.
38:12At his request.
38:13Have a look.
38:14Why are you showing me this?
38:16Just keep looking.
38:17Do you see it?
38:18Both their hands.
38:19Both their hands.
38:20.
38:23VINCENT
38:25.
38:26VINCENT
38:29VINCENT
38:31.
38:32Would you see it?
38:33Both their hands.
38:34.
38:36.
38:39Do you see it?
38:43Both their hands.
38:59You knew these two men better than anyone from outside.
39:04What is the truth?
39:09What is the truth?
39:12What is the truth?
39:15I don't know.
39:21To find the truth is true.
39:27I don't know where the truth is.
39:31Time to do.
39:33Make all the couches.
39:36I can tell you a story, Mr. Pushkin, how silly he killed Mozart, but the truth of it, the
39:57real truth, that would die with me.
40:03I hope your audience enjoys it.
40:31Dawn has come, and I must release you and myself.
40:39One moment's violence, and it is done.
40:44You see, I cannot accept this. I did not live on this earth to be his joke for eternity. I will be remembered. If not in fame, then in infamy. One more moment, and my battle with him is won. I shall be immortal after all.
41:36An uncaring God. I will whisper my name to you. Salieri, the patron saint of mediocrities. And in the depth of your downcastness, you can pray to me. I will forgive you.
42:00I will forgive you.
42:07I will forgive you.
42:09I will forgive you.
42:10I will forgive you.
42:14I will forgive you.
42:19I will forgive you.
