00:17Hey! Get away from that!
00:22Hello. Who do we have here?
00:25Immaculate fingernails?
00:27Jawline shaped to perfection. You must be our new butler.
00:31Ah. So you've met.
00:35We haven't formally been introduced.
00:38Then allow me. Your Royal Highness, this is Sebastian Camille, leader of the Royal Orchestra,
00:44and the world's youngest ever recipient of the illustrious Chopin Piano Prize.
00:48It's said his hands are blessed by God, which I see you've noticed.
00:57And why is the leader of the Royal Orchestra standing in my music room, Percy?
01:01Because the King has arranged a recital to mark the ten year anniversary of your mother's passing.
01:06I see. So you're our headline act?
01:10No. You are. I'm going to teach you.
01:18Whenever you're ready.
01:20You know, thank you for the offer.
01:23But I really don't need piano lessons, actually.
01:26Believe me, it wasn't an offer. It was an order.
01:29Okay then, I order you to leave.
01:33Fine. I see a king here, but I don't see any princes.
01:36If you really don't need me, prove it.
01:41Fine.
01:47Off tempo.
01:51Poor fingering.
01:54Terrible posture.
01:56Here.
02:08Your heart is racing.
02:13Your heart is racing.
02:16That's a problem.
02:19What?
02:19You're letting your emotions lead your performance.
02:22You need to calm your nerves.
02:24You clearly don't understand what you're talking about.
02:26Your father disagrees?
02:27Of course he does.
02:29He's a robot.
02:30Just like you.
02:32My heart is racing because music comes from the heart.
02:36It's not just a series of notes on a piano.
02:39It's a conduit for the emotions.
02:40A vessel for the soul.
02:43You clearly don't understand that.
03:03When am I creating a wrestler?!
03:17Yes.
03:18Don't tell me.
03:19What I don't understand.
04:57And what are you doing?
05:00Hey.
05:02What's going on?
05:05Nothing.
05:07You tell me.
05:09What?
05:10Why are you here?
05:12Have you been here all night?
05:15Yes.
05:17I could have you arrested for stalking your prince?
05:22I stayed for a reason.
05:24Your left hand is too heavy in the fifth section.
05:27Your notes are all wrong in the eighth section.
05:29And your rhythm in the last section is as chaotic as your hair.
05:33Listen, Mr. Holyfingers.
05:35We do still have dungeons in this palace.
05:38Really?
05:38Do you use your piano to torture the prisoners?
05:42How dare you?
05:46Morning, Xavi.
05:48Um, who's your friend?
05:54You never told me the family had an actual orchestra's abbey.
05:57What?
05:58Yours doesn't?
05:59Yeah, well, I had a recorder in Kindergarten, but that's as close as I can.
06:04I'd be happy to give you the tour of the Royal Concert Hall, Your Highness.
06:07Oh, please just come in our accept.
06:09And thank you.
06:15Actually, can you tell me how you became the lead of the orchestra?
06:18Didn't you hear?
06:20He was sent down from heaven.
06:24It's true, actually.
06:27Well, to a certain extent.
06:31My mother left me on the steps of St. Christopher's when I was a baby.
06:35I have no idea who she was, but she left a note in my pocket.
06:40Please look after him.
06:42And they did.
06:44The vicar took me in, and I learned how to play on the church organ.
06:47I never looked back from there.
06:50Wow, that's incredible.
06:52That may be sad.
06:55Yes, but...
06:57Well, maybe she's still out there.
06:59I'd like to imagine she's there within the anonymous sea of faces when I'm on stage.
07:05I hope she's proud of me.
07:15I'm sorry to abandon you, Arya.
07:18Sebastian and I have a lot of work to do.
07:31Damn it.
07:32I heard this part yesterday.
07:35You're thinking too hard.
07:36Let's take a break.
07:43What are you doing?
07:44We've been working for weeks, and you never offered me a tour.
07:47I want to see the garden.
07:48Now?
07:49Now.
08:06Magnificent.
08:09Do you experience that kind of thing?
08:12You don't know, do you?
08:16This is where Ivan Vilecki first performed the Rose Wars in front of your great-grandfather.
08:21Really?
08:24Never even knew he came here.
08:26He lived here for three years.
08:28Let's just say your family didn't want that becoming public knowledge.
08:33They were lovers, Xavier.
08:37That's where all the passion comes from in Vilecki's composition.
08:41Listen.
08:48This is why I took your stroke.
08:50To be here.
08:52Where such magic was brought into this world.
08:58Will you do me the honor, your highness?
09:06Not you?
09:06No.
09:57You're ready.
10:06Come on, Zabby. Where are you?
10:09The king is growing impatient, Mr. Khmer.
10:11I know.
10:13We need to search the palace.
10:16This palace has over 700 rooms. Where do you suggest we start?
10:21I know where he'll be.
10:32There you are.
10:37What's going on?
10:41I can't do it, Zabby. I'm not good enough.
10:46What are you talking about? You had me to teach you.
10:50I can't live up to her memory.
10:54Percy told me this was her old room.
10:57Yeah.
11:00And your song?
11:03It was hers as well.
11:07She wrote it for me before she died.
11:10I was supposed to play at her funeral.
11:13But I...
11:16I couldn't bring myself to touch a piano again.
11:18After she was gone.
11:24I hadn't touched on in ten years until I met you.
11:27That's why I was so bad when we first started.
11:31You were never bad.
11:33You just needed to open your heart up to it again.
11:35And you taught me that on that very first day.
11:53I'm sorry.
11:58I thought...
12:11I hope you don't think kissing me will get you out of the recital.
12:15Why not?
12:17We could run away together.
12:19I know where they keep the keys to the Royal Jets.
12:23We'll save that for a quick getaway after.
12:26Now come on.
12:27What would he like?
12:35Remember what I told you about how I imagined my mother in the audience when I'm on stage?
12:42Try it for yourself.
12:44She'll give you all the strength you need.
12:46Promise.
