*** Subtitles by dylux ***

I know it torments you, Catherine.

But imagine what a relief it would be to unleash it,

to give it to an audience, instead of holding it all inside.

You don't understand. It's evil. No one can ever hear it.

Don't be so dramatic. Why don't you come in and...

No. You don't know what you're asking.

Think of your legacy, of the symphony. Everything is written on this.

I won't do it.

Mediocre. An orchestra is a unit, and it needs to play like one.

Miss Walker, I asked you to play rubato,

but you seem to have lost yourself daydreaming with the form.

I trust that next time you'll play the same piece of music as the rest of the orchestra.

Yes.

I can't hear you.

Yes.

It's been a dark week. The loss of our dear friend Catherine

has upset our plans for our anniversary fundraiser.

We will no longer be able to rehearse her concerto tomorrow.

An alternative is in the works.

I thought he was going to keep us here forever.

When you go on your flights of fancy, it makes the rest of us sound unfocused.

Can't keep up, Franken?

Debussy actually sounds a lot nicer if you play the notes he wrote.

Well, Debussy actually encouraged improvisation, but fine.

Don't listen to him.

- What did you think? - I loved it.

I think it sounds scary.

I guarantee he's making his case to replace Catherine.

You have got to kiss ass like he does. Better. You're better. He's just louder.

I know. Okay.

I know you know. Does Gustafsson know?

If you don't throw yourself out there, it's never going to happen. We'll be backstage.

Good luck.

Come on, get lost.

Oh, and Mom.

He's an asshole.

Zoe!

Mr. Gustafsson, have you decided on what we're going to play yet?

If it were up to me, nothing. It is not easily replaced.

Besides, the score is missing and Catherine's family are being difficult.

But the show, as they say, must go on.

I don't know if you've had a chance to look at my flute concerto.

I submitted it for one of the new composer spots next season.

If I were you, I'd be more concerned with holding

onto my seat on the floor than chasing a pipe dream.

This isn't a pipe dream, Mr. Gustafsson.

Please.

Miss Walker. Melanie.

Let me be honest.

Your music, it is good.

But soft.

I'm looking for something robust, muscular, like Franklin's.

Okay, well, I can make adjustments.

Just give me your notes and I'll go back to the drawing board.

You are young, Miss Walker.

I have no doubt you will have your time in the spotlight, when you are ready.

Zoe?

Zoe?

Gotcha.

I hate it when you do that.

Scared you'll see the ghosts in there?

What ghosts?

There was a fire here a long time ago.

And a lot of people died. Mostly kids.

I don't believe you.

It's true. My mom told me.

They have to build this whole place up again.

Fifty years ago.

But the ghosts never left.

Kids.

Don't play with these things.

They're death traps.

Let's go. Come on.

Yeah, no, I know what lapses.

That's why I need to re-enroll.

Just the same plan, same rate.

Our files show a dependent with a pre-existing condition.

No, we were on that plan last year when she got sick.

That's...

I just, um...

I just need you to reinstate it.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I can email you a list of plans you'd be eligible for.

Great.

Yeah, that would be amazing.

Thank you.

Oh, Stacey doll, clap.

So rude.

I didn't do it right.

They don't work as well as before.

I will make you an appointment at a doctor's soon.

I promise.

Do you think I'll ever be as good as you?

If you keep practicing, you'll be even better.

It took me weeks to get the font right,

but if you practice enough,

what you hear isn't so important.

You'll know when you get it right.

You'll feel it.

Yeah?

I'm gonna show you, okay?

Are you ready for this?

Isn't that cool?

Okay.

Wow.

Now you try.

But, um, take the aids off first.

Can you feel the difference?

50th Anniversary Fundraiser

Now is not a good time.

Mr. Gustafsson, um...

I made some adjustments to my score.

You're too late.

We've decided to use Franklin's piece.

Will you at least look at it?

I worked really hard on it.

Look, I'm as disappointed as you are.

Replacing Catherine was not an easy decision.

Is there something else?

What if I find Catherine's score?

Look, I...

I was born in Brighton, just like she was.

I followed every step of her career.

I even studied under her at the Royal Academy in London.

She was my friend.

My mentor.

I knew her family.

Let me at least talk to them.

This should be her night.

We should be honoring her memory by playing the last thing that she wrote.

And then, if I can't find it, it doesn't matter.

You already have your backup in place.

Franklin will be devastated.

He'll get his chance in the spotlight later.

But you're wrong about one thing.

It's not a new score.

Not really.

What do you know about Catherine's first concerto?

It was written while she was studying abroad in Hanover.

Inspired by European folklore and myth.

Performed only once.

Until now.

You're going to perform the concerto for children?

We were.

For the first time since it premiered.

But what about the fire?

Sorry, I thought she destroyed every copy.

She kept one for herself.

The hardest thing an artist can do is destroy their own creation.

But this music is controversial.

Dangerous.

And there are many people who've waited a long time to hear it.

Was Catherine on board with this?

She was considering it.

The survival of Virgil Hall depends on this fundraiser.

And so does your career.

You have a daughter to support, yes?

With Catherine gone, you're in need of new friends at this symphony.

I could be such a friend.

Find the concerto and bring it to me.

And you'll be surprised at what doors open for you.

Can I help you?

Hi.

I'm Melanie Walker.

I was Catherine's friend.

You must be her sister, Alice.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I don't recall her mentioning you.

No, she was my advisor at university.

It's been a while.

I'm with the symphony now and I was just wondering if I could...

You're looking for the concerto, aren't you?

Your boss called a few times.

She's barely been in the grave a week and here you are,

trying to make money off her death.

Vultures.

No, I...

I really didn't mean to offend you.

I'm really just thinking about Catherine's legacy.

Like I told Mr. Gustafsson,

she didn't want it performed.

If you really cared about her legacy, you'd respect her wishes.

How do you know she didn't want it performed?

Because that concerto was what she was trying to burn when she set herself on fire.

Trying to burn it?

That music will never see the light of day.

There is nothing for you here.

Please leave.

Concerto for children.

First movement.

Allegro.

Where are the keys?

Alice?

Did you send anyone else to Catherine's house to look for this?

Franklin, maybe?

No.

Where's the rest of the third movement?

This is all that was left.

And the tapes? What was on them?
