00:00:01,021 --> 00:00:04,781
The following programme contains
distressing scenes.

2
00:00:10,661 --> 00:00:12,621
Mozart, your father has died.

3
00:00:13,861 --> 00:00:16,821
I thought it might help to have
the news delivered

4
00:00:16,861 --> 00:00:18,621
by a friendly face.

5
00:00:18,661 --> 00:00:20,621
Is that what you are?

6
00:00:20,661 --> 00:00:24,621
OLD SALIERI: There, in that demonic
figure on stage, was his own father,

7
00:00:24,661 --> 00:00:28,541
and in that poor, wretched
philanderer, Mozart himself.

8
00:00:28,581 --> 00:00:31,861
And I knew where, in time,
I would place the final blade.

9
00:00:31,901 --> 00:00:32,981
How long do I have?

10
00:00:33,021 --> 00:00:34,341
I wouldn't linger.

11
00:00:35,621 --> 00:00:38,861
The mood is changing.
You're a man out of time.

12
00:00:40,301 --> 00:00:44,981
I'm enjoying it.
I found it rather, um... tuneful.

13
00:00:45,021 --> 00:00:47,661
I'd say the whole thing
is rather thin so far.

14
00:00:47,701 --> 00:00:50,141
You're getting distracted.
You have to focus on the music.

15
00:00:50,181 --> 00:00:52,501
KATERINA: You made me
realise everything I know about you

16
00:00:52,541 --> 00:00:54,301
I've had to learn
through your characters.

17
00:00:54,341 --> 00:00:55,661
And I wondered if you...

18
00:00:55,701 --> 00:00:57,341
if you could ever open up to me.

19
00:00:57,381 --> 00:01:00,541
MOZART: You can't stay with me.
It isn't good here.

20
00:01:00,581 --> 00:01:03,541
OLD SALIERI: There is always
a reckoning.

21
00:01:03,581 --> 00:01:06,301
MOZART: You told me to do this.
This can't happen again.

22
00:01:06,341 --> 00:01:07,861
SALIERI: This was your idea, Mozart.

23
00:01:07,901 --> 00:01:10,901
OLD SALIERI: He was weak, broken,
and alone.

24
00:01:11,941 --> 00:01:15,581
So, into the darkness we go.

Oh, thank goodness.
My name is Alexander Pushkin.

31
00:01:52,261 --> 00:01:54,061
I've been searching for you.

32
00:01:54,101 --> 00:01:56,941
I, um...
I've asked around everywhere.

33
00:01:56,981 --> 00:01:59,181
Cafes, bars, concert halls.
And then, finally,

34
00:01:59,221 --> 00:02:00,421
I tried the post office.

35
00:02:00,461 --> 00:02:03,741
I don't know why I didn't start
there, but, uh, here we are.

36
00:02:03,781 --> 00:02:05,861
What is it that you want,
Mr Pushkin?

37
00:02:07,221 --> 00:02:09,581
What is it that I want? Yes.

You might have heard of me.

40
00:02:19,621 --> 00:02:20,701
Uh, or you might not.

41
00:02:20,741 --> 00:02:24,301
Anyway, I'm writing a play. Or
rather, I'm hoping to write a play.

42
00:02:25,461 --> 00:02:28,221
Are you going round to everyone's
houses to tell them individually?

43

(LAUGHS)

44
00:02:29,741 --> 00:02:32,821
No, no, I came to find you

45
00:02:32,861 --> 00:02:34,901
because I'm hoping
to write about your husband.

46
00:02:34,941 --> 00:02:37,261
Oh. Which one?

47
00:02:37,301 --> 00:02:38,781
I think you know which one.

48
00:02:40,421 --> 00:02:42,101
And what are you hoping
to write about him?

49
00:02:42,141 --> 00:02:44,261
(CUP AND SAUCE JANGLE ON TABLE)
Well, I...

50
00:02:44,301 --> 00:02:46,421
I want to write about his death.

51
00:02:46,461 --> 00:02:48,621
He died of a fever.

52
00:02:48,661 --> 00:02:52,501
People think his music should
have been some kind of a shield,

53
00:02:52,541 --> 00:02:54,941
but he was flesh and blood,
just like the rest of us.

54
00:02:56,901 --> 00:02:58,461
He got ill.

55
00:02:58,501 --> 00:02:59,501
Mm.

56
00:03:01,821 --> 00:03:03,901
I heard something different.

57
00:03:03,941 --> 00:03:05,341
And what did you hear?

58
00:03:05,381 --> 00:03:07,421
I heard it was murder.

59
00:03:08,581 --> 00:03:10,941
You heard that?
PUSHKIN: Yes.

60
00:03:10,981 --> 00:03:12,421
From who?

61
00:03:12,461 --> 00:03:14,901
PUSHKIN: The old Hofkappellmeister,
Salieri.

62
00:03:16,181 --> 00:03:19,981
He ended up in an asylum.
He lost his mind. Did you know that?

63
00:03:21,101 --> 00:03:22,101
I did.

64
00:03:22,141 --> 00:03:24,221
And presumably you heard
he died last year?

65
00:03:24,261 --> 00:03:25,261
Yes.

66
00:03:25,301 --> 00:03:28,101
And they say
he was ranting and raving.

67
00:03:29,141 --> 00:03:31,541
Screaming like a baby
towards the end.

68
00:03:32,941 --> 00:03:35,821
And they say in the weeks before he
died it was mostly incomprehensible,

69
00:03:35,861 --> 00:03:37,541
mostly nonsense.
Mmmm.

70
00:03:37,581 --> 00:03:39,661
Except for one thing.

71
00:03:40,541 --> 00:03:42,141
One thing he kept saying.

72
00:03:44,261 --> 00:03:45,341
He told them

73
00:03:46,381 --> 00:03:49,181
that it was he
who killed your husband.

74
00:03:51,901 --> 00:03:53,701
Apparently, they say, he confessed.

75
00:03:56,101 --> 00:03:59,821
And apparently, he confessed to you.

76
00:03:59,861 --> 00:04:01,341
What do you think of that?

77
00:04:06,501 --> 00:04:07,901
Because I can tell you what I think.

78
00:04:07,941 --> 00:04:11,461
I think that would make
a pretty good story.

91
00:05:35,741 --> 00:05:37,741
Poison? Strangulation?

92
00:05:37,781 --> 00:05:39,101

I used to be more certain
of your indiscretions.

105
00:06:45,501 --> 00:06:48,541
Is it his carnal desires
that he feeds tonight?

I have known everything.

And every time I have looked at you,
I have seen a fallible, ruined man,

come to take him away.

then something worse.

361
00:26:12,781 --> 00:26:14,821
I want to hear it.

362
00:26:14,861 --> 00:26:17,141
For a moment, a minute, a second.

363
00:26:17,181 --> 00:26:19,061
I would do anything
to have your gift.

364
00:26:19,101 --> 00:26:21,781
You wouldn't want this.
You don't know how it feels.

365
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:24,141
You wouldn't know what to do with it.

366
00:26:24,181 --> 00:26:25,981
I wouldn't know what to do with it?

367
00:26:26,021 --> 00:26:27,541
You stalk me like I'm prey

368
00:26:27,581 --> 00:26:31,141
but what would you do with this thing
that you covet so much?

369
00:26:31,181 --> 00:26:32,821
It would kill you,

370
00:26:32,861 --> 00:26:35,141
like it's killing me.

371
00:26:35,181 --> 00:26:38,261
What would you do with the silence
I've suffered through?

372
00:26:38,301 --> 00:26:40,341
It would drive you mad.

373
00:26:44,541 --> 00:26:47,061
I couldn't stop thinking about you.

374
00:26:47,101 --> 00:26:50,941
I couldn't stop thinking
about you writing your requiem.

375
00:26:52,101 --> 00:26:54,101
And so I kneeled down

376
00:26:54,141 --> 00:26:56,661
and I prayed to a God
I hadn't spoken to in years

377
00:26:56,701 --> 00:26:59,101
to speak through me one last time.

378
00:26:59,141 --> 00:27:00,861
And if he did,
in return I would offer him

379
00:27:00,901 --> 00:27:04,421
my own requiem for my own death.

380
00:27:04,461 --> 00:27:06,661
First, I offered him my love.

381
00:27:06,701 --> 00:27:08,501
Then I offered him my hate.

382
00:27:08,541 --> 00:27:11,261
And then, finally,
I offered him my whole life.

00:27:11,301 --> 00:27:12,461

00:41:12,341 --> 00:41:15,741
For the rest of time,
whenever men say Mozart with love,

542
00:41:17,701 --> 00:41:19,941
they will say Salieri with loathing.

543
00:41:25,621 --> 00:41:28,621
And now I go
to become a ghost myself.

544
00:41:30,461 --> 00:41:31,861
But I will stand in the shadows

545
00:41:31,901 --> 00:41:34,261
when you come here to this Earth
in your turns.

546
00:41:36,021 --> 00:41:38,861
And when you feel
the dreadful bite of your failures,

547
00:41:39,861 --> 00:41:43,661
when you hear the taunting
of an uncaring God,

548
00:41:45,461 --> 00:41:47,381
I will whisper my name to you.

549
00:41:49,781 --> 00:41:51,021
Salieri.

550
00:41:52,181 --> 00:41:54,621
The patron saint of mediocrities.

551
00:41:56,261 --> 00:41:58,941
And in the depth
of your downcastness

552
00:42:00,301 --> 00:42:01,741
you can pray to me.

553
00:42:05,101 --> 00:42:06,581
I will forgive you.

554
00:42:14,061 --> 00:42:15,501
Vi saluto.

555
00:42:21,341 --> 00:42:23,421
