00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,760
The following programme contains
distressing scenes.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,600
Mozart, your father has died.

3
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,800
I thought it might help to have
the news delivered

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,600
by a friendly face.

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,600
Is that what you are?

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,600
OLD SALIERI: There, in that demonic
figure on stage, was his own father,

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,520
and in that poor, wretched
philanderer, Mozart himself.

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,840
And I knew where, in time,
I would place the final blade.

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:32,960
How long do I have?

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,320
I wouldn't linger.

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,840
The mood is changing.
You're a man out of time.

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,960
I'm enjoying it.
I found it rather, um... tuneful.

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,640
I'd say the whole thing
is rather thin so far.

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,120
You're getting distracted.
You have to focus on the music.

15
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,480
KATERINA: You made me
realise everything I know about you

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,280
I've had to learn
through your characters.

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,640
And I wondered if you...

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,320
if you could ever open up to me.

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,520
MOZART: You can't stay with me.
It isn't good here.

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,520
OLD SALIERI: There is always
a reckoning.

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,280
MOZART: You told me to do this.
This can't happen again.

22
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:07,840
SALIERI: This was your idea, Mozart.

23
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,880
OLD SALIERI: He was weak, broken,
and alone.

24
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,560
So, into the darkness we go.

Oh, thank goodness.
My name is Alexander Pushkin.

31
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,039
I've been searching for you.

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,920
I, um...
I've asked around everywhere.

33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,160
Cafes, bars, concert halls.
And then, finally,

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,400
I tried the post office.

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,720
I don't know why I didn't start
there, but, uh, here we are.

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,840
What is it that you want,
Mr Pushkin?

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,560
What is it that I want? Yes.

You might have heard of me.

00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:20,680
Uh, or you might not.

41
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,280
Anyway, I'm writing a play. Or
rather, I'm hoping to write a play.

42
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,200
Are you going round to everyone's
houses to tell them individually?

43

(LAUGHS)

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,800
No, no, I came to find you

45
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,880
because I'm hoping
to write about your husband.

46
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:37,240
Oh. Which one?

47
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,760
I think you know which one.

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,079
And what are you hoping
to write about him?

49
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,240
(CUP AND SAUCE JANGLE ON TABLE)
Well, I...

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,400
I want to write about his death.

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,600
He died of a fever.

52
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:52,480
People think his music should
have been some kind of a shield,

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,920
but he was flesh and blood,
just like the rest of us.

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,440
He got ill.

55
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,480
Mm.

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,880
I heard something different.

57
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:05,320
And what did you hear?

58
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,400
I heard it was murder.

59
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,920
You heard that?
PUSHKIN: Yes.

60
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,400
From who?

61
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,880
PUSHKIN: The old Hofkappellmeister,
Salieri.

62
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,960
He ended up in an asylum.
He lost his mind. Did you know that?

63
00:03:21,079 --> 00:03:22,079
I did.

64
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,200
And presumably you heard
he died last year?

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,240
Yes.

66
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,079
And they say
he was ranting and raving.

67
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,520
Screaming like a baby
towards the end.

68
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:35,800
And they say in the weeks before he
died it was mostly incomprehensible,

69
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,520
mostly nonsense.
Mmmm.

70
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,640
Except for one thing.

71
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,120
One thing he kept saying.

72
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,320
He told them

73
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,160
that it was he
who killed your husband.

74
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,680
Apparently, they say, he confessed.

75
00:03:56,079 --> 00:03:59,800
And apparently, he confessed to you.

76
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,320
What do you think of that?

77
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,880
Because I can tell you what I think.

78
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,440
I think that would make
a pretty good story.

91
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,720
Poison? Strangulation?

92
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,080

I used to be more certain
of your indiscretions.

105
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,520
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.

I want to hear it.

362
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,120
For a moment, a minute, a second.

363
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,040
I would do anything
to have your gift.

364
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,760
You wouldn't want this.
You don't know how it feels.

365
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,120
You wouldn't know what to do with it.

366
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,960
I wouldn't know what to do with it?

367
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,520
You stalk me like I'm prey

368
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,120
but what would you do with this thing
that you covet so much?

369
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,800
It would kill you,

370
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,120
like it's killing me.

371
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,240
What would you do with the silence
I've suffered through?

372
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,320
It would drive you mad.

373
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,040
I couldn't stop thinking about you.

374
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,920
I couldn't stop thinking
about you writing your requiem.

375
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,080
And so I kneeled down

376
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:56,640
and I prayed to a God
I hadn't spoken to in years

377
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,080
to speak through me one last time.

378
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:00,840
And if he did,
in return I would offer him

379
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,400
my own requiem for my own death.

380
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,640
First, I offered him my love.

381
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,480
Then I offered him my hate.

382
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,240
And then, finally,
I offered him my whole life.

00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,440

00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,720
For the rest of time,
whenever men say Mozart with love,

542
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,920
they will say Salieri with loathing.

543
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,600
And now I go
to become a ghost myself.

544
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:31,840
But I will stand in the shadows

545
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,240
when you come here to this Earth
in your turns.

546
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,840
And when you feel
the dreadful bite of your failures,

547
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,640
when you hear the taunting
of an uncaring God,

548
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,360
I will whisper my name to you.

549
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,000
Salieri.

550
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,600
The patron saint of mediocrities.

551
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:58,920
And in the depth
of your downcastness

552
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,720
you can pray to me.

553
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,560
I will forgive you.

554
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,480
Vi saluto.

555
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,400
