[passionately arranged
"Danse Macabre" playing]

FOUR HANDS, TWO SONATAS

[intriguing music plays]

What are you doing here?

Choi Jeong-yo.

Just give me another shot.

The solo…

You've got to let me do it.

Why would I do that?

You wrote that piece

out of your hatred for me, didn't you?

Do you really think
that anyone else but me could play it?

Thank you, Choi Jeong-yo.

After going through this,
I realized my own limitations.

But when it comes to "Nemesis,"

I am the only one who can do it justice.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Huh?

"Nemesis" is my composition.

You're just a performer.

You're nothing more
than a tool at my disposal.

And it's up to me to choose
which tool is best for the work.

It's not.

"Nemesis" was meant for me
from the moment you wrote the first note.

I just need to master it,

then the piece will finally be complete.

[chuckles]

This is your chance to finish it.

Don't let revenge get in the way.

Cut the bullshit and get lost.

You don't have the right
nor the skill to play it, loser.

EPISODE 11

LETTER OF APPOINTMENT
KANG JI-HYE

[inhales sharply]

[sighs]

[phone buzzes]

[Hyun-soo] I'm here out front.

Take your time.

[sniffles]

[phone buzzing]

INCOMING CALL
HAN HYUN-JEONG

[sighs]

Hey, Ji-hye.

Are you feeling any better?

Yes, I'm fine.

[sighs] I was so worried
about you, Ji-hye.

You didn't pick up any of my calls.

What do you want?

Oh, um, I just wanted to talk.

It's about Pi-o's contract renewal.

Things aren't that good at the company,

so I'm thinking we'll need to reconsider.

I'm going to need an explanation.

[Hyun-jeong chuckles]

Uh, I'll just be honest with you, okay?

We took a huge financial hit
when that album recording fell through.

Up until his last mishap,
we just wrote it off as a rough patch.

But now that
the album's fallen through too,

there's a lot of talk at the company.

So I don't think
that we can renew his contract.

It's better if you heard it from me
than from Pi-o himself, right?

Han Hyun-jeong.

How could you do this to me now?

You saw it yourself.

Choi Jeong-yo did all of that
on purpose to mess with Pi-o.

[sighs] Oh, Ji-hye,
look, I really don't know.

Anyway, there's no point
in talking about it.

It'll just upset us both even more.

[sighs] Honestly,
I feel terrible that it's come to this.

Uh, my team will call Pi-o directly
to go over the details,

so this is just a heads-up
to let him know.

I'll call you later, okay?

[line beeps]

[somber music plays]

[sighs]

Mom, what was that call regarding?

[sighs] You heard what I said, didn't you?

How could you even consider doing that?

You know the state of mind
he's in right now.

You want us to be
the first to turn our backs on him?

If we don't renew his contract over this,

what artist is ever going to
trust us enough to sign with us?

Isn't it our job as a management agency
to stand by our artists?

You should stay out of this.

Something feels off about them.

Don't you remember?

When Jeong-yo went missing,

there were whispers
that Pi-o was the one behind it.

Oh, come on, you believe that?

There's no way Pi-o
could've done a thing like that.

You may not know him as well as you think.

Where's your self-respect?

You followed him around
like a lovesick puppy,

and he dumped you anyway.

Ugh, I already hate his guts
for breaking your heart like that.

Besides, with his questionable past
and bleak future,

what is there left to defend?

[pensive music plays]

[sighs]

I can't do it.

I won't do it.

[sighs]

Look, I know what you're going to say.

But if I turn myself in
while Pi-o is in the state that he's in,

how will he…

get back on his feet?

Everyone's already
cutting ties with him as it is.

If you terminate Pi-o's contract, I'm out.

I'll quit the company as well.

Consider that.

[Hyun-jeong scoffs]

Seriously? How can you be such a fool?

Ji-hye.

The longer you put this off,

the harder it is to make it right.

You need to be strong for everyone,

but especially for your own sake.

I know, I already know all that.

Give me a little more time.

Just wait a tiny bit longer.

[sighs]

[Jae-in] Choi Jeong-yo, we need to talk.

I'll go to your office.

[lively music plays]

So, what brings you by today?

Choi Jeong-yo, be honest with me.

You're doing this to Pi-o on purpose.

What do you mean by that?

You're doing this 'cause you heard

that Pi-o might have been involved
in your kidnapping.

If so, stop it right now
'cause it's not true.

Hmm…

How can you be so sure?

So I'm right.

That's why you did this.

Look, seriously,

I've known the two of you longer
and better than anyone else.

Pi-o was the only one
who kept searching the world for you.

Even after everyone else gave up,
he kept looking.

How could you let

a stupid rumor change your mind
to believe the worst about a friend?

[scoffs]

And isn't it possible
that he wasn't actually searching for me,

but was trying to make sure
I was dead instead?

Wow, Choi Jeong-yo.

I'm really disappointed in you.

When Pi-o heard that you were dead,

he was so shocked
he couldn't get out of bed for days.

I had to fly all the way
to Moldova to get him.

You'd been missing for ten years,
when he heard you were dead.

He couldn't even take a sip of water.

So how could you…

[sighs]

[huffs]

[scoffs] Forget it.

What more can I say to someone
who's using their amnesia

to blame someone who's innocent?

In any case,

if you keep going after Pi-o like this,

I won't just sit back and watch.

You've been warned.

[phone buzzes]

[Jo] Why don't you answer?
When are we going public?

[tense music plays]

[Jeong-yo] Just wait.

Put it on hold.

["Nemesis" piano performance playing]

[Seung-woon] Music that moves people
deeply in their hearts

is music that carries
a lifetime within it.

Your desire to make music,
even with only one day left to live,

that's the key.

Put that in your music.

This right here!

I used marcato to capture the emotions
of betrayal and revenge.

But…

do you actually think your performance
is conveying all of those emotions?

-No, not in the slightest!
-[sighs]

-[knocking]
-[door opens]

[tense music plays]

Mr. Kang.

I just wanted to remind you

that we're scheduled to watch
the violinist videos at three o'clock

in the second-floor conference room.

[Seung-woon] Mmm.

Oh, one thing,

my replacement as artistic director…

Put that on hold for now.

Yes, of course.

Oh, is there a reason?

Is something bothering you?

There's a few things I'd like to check on.

For now, at least.

Right.

[door opens]

How are preparations going
for the premiere?

[sighs]

Yeah, well… [chuckles]

I might be worried over nothing,

but a conductor mustn't treat musicians
as mere tools to be used.

The performance belongs
to the musicians onstage,

not the conductor.

Only when you realize that
will you create great music.

I've been meaning to
ask you something for a while.

Mr. Kang,

do you believe
that a morally flawed artist

is fundamentally unworthy of creating art?

Or do you think art
and the artist's private life

should be judged separately?

What are you saying?

Well, art is supposed to be
a reflection of the artist's life.

So if an artist commits a crime
that is unforgivable,

should society still accept their work
without any reservation?

I guess it's an age-old debate.

Are you trying to playact
at being a judge,

or are you, in fact,
trying to be a musician?

I do not think an artist's sins

will either pollute or corrupt the music
that they create.

In fact, I believe that one must be
intrinsically flawed to create great art.

What we should be wary of

is using our art as an excuse
to commit evil acts without remorse.

To punish and judge a flawed,
imperfect artist is not our place at all.

Ultimately, an artist
who has committed unforgivable sins

will face punishment for as long
as the music they produced lives on.

Do you think an eternity of judgment

is a blessing or a curse?

[breathes deeply]

[knocks on door]

[sighs] I'm sorry.
I had to take an urgent call.

So, shall we go through the applications
first before reviewing the clips?

Yes, let's do that.

[papers rustling]

["Nemesis" cadenza
piano performance playing]

[sighs] It's so hard
to find the right person.

Even though they're all winners
of prestigious competitions,

none of them quite fit the…

[breathing heavily]

The tension you were looking for…

Is that more like it?

[Jeong-yo] What are you doing here?

I'm sorry for letting myself in
without your permission.

But I knew you wouldn't change your mind
unless you saw for yourself

just how much my playing has changed.

This isn't going to change anything.

Oh, really?

What? Did you not like my performance?

Just admit it already.

I'm the only one
who can do this piece justice.

You know that's the truth.

[scoffs]

["Nemesis" cadenza
piano performance playing]

[performances overlapping]

[ticking echoes]

[door opens]

Ah…

[Min-sung] So, I've had this feeling.

Uh, you have another performer in mind
to play your piece, don't you?

Sorry?

I'm just speaking from experience.

Every premiere seems to have
a performer who's destined to play it.

And, uh, something tells me it's not me.

And if that's really the case,

you should choose the person you want.

-What are you--
-You're a composer.

You should do whatever it takes
for your piece to shine.

[solemn music plays]

[Min-sung] I'm just speaking
from experience.

Every premiere seems to have
a performer who's destined to play it.

Just admit it already.

I'm the only one
who can do this piece justice.

You know that's the truth.

[Kim] Hey, Mr. Choi.

Who the hell are you?

[tense music plays]

[scoffs]

Well, I'm, uh…

You don't need to ask that.

You know who I am, right?

[ticking]

What is it that you want with me?

You don't have to pretend with me.

You see,
I met Kang Pi-o's mom the other day.

And, uh, she seems to be all right.

I suppose you're looking for revenge,
aren't ya?

Though, uh, you can't be half-assed
about it if you really wanna get it.

If you're gonna take someone down,
do it the right way

and crush them completely.

Let everyone know you did.

They'll leave you alone.

Want my help?

You're still living like a dog,
aren't you?

Who said you could go after him?

No one touches Pi-o but me. Is that clear?

If you dare to even lay a finger on him,

I'll make sure
you don't breathe another day.

Got that?

[scoffs]

Ouch.

You busted my wrist.

Hospital fee?

[chuckles]

Dude…

I say "Kang Pi-o," and you go nuts.

You've gotten ruthless, man.

See ya around.

Good luck, punk.

[breathing shakily]

[phone buzzing]

[Jeong-yo] Come outside.

I'm out front.

Do it. The show.

I don't want you to think
this means I've forgiven you.

I'm just doing this

because I need "Nemesis"
to be played perfectly.

[suspenseful music plays]

[chattering]

HANKOOK SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA


A MESSAGE FROM THE FUTURE

[breathes deeply]

[sighs]

[applause]

[instruments tuning]

[applause]

Good evening, everyone.

I'm Yoon Seon-ju, president
of the Korean Symphony Orchestra.

Thank you all
for joining us at this festival

celebrating the 80th anniversary of…

[distorted]
…the Korean Symphony Orchestra…

-[tense music plays]
-[no audible dialogue]

[Seon-ju fades in] I hope this will be
an occasion we all remember

for years to come.

And now, may the show begin.

[applause]

["Nemesis" playing]

Do you really think I care
about your opinion?

Yeah. You'll never beat me.

[Seung-woon] You chase after it,
and there it is in the distance.

You chase after it again,
and it's farther out of reach.

Even so, do you still want to take
this thorny path that you're on?

Say you had less than a month to live.

Would you still want to
keep playing the piano till the very end?

[grunts]

[Pi-o] The piano is the one thing
that brings me joy.

Even if I had one day left to live,

I would still want to play the piano.

[breathing shakily]

[Seung-woon] Command the stage
with your own energy.

If your energy is strong enough,

you can pull the entire orchestra
and the conductor into your own world.

[music ends]

[cheering]

[wistful music plays]

[cheering continues]

You were right all along.

This piece was meant for you
and you alone.

[cheering continues]

[suspenseful music plays]

[cheering continues]

I would like to sincerely
thank you all for coming.

I'm truly grateful for your support.

It was an absolute honor

for me to perform here tonight,

Conductor Choi Jeong-yo's masterpiece,
"Nemesis."

However…

I've come out on stage…

to make a confession tonight.

[gasps]

[murmuring]

[Pi-o] The truth is…

I don't deserve
to be standing up here today.

Nine years ago,

you may recall a kidnapping
at the Prague Harmonie Competition.

The one who ordered the kidnapping
of Choi Jeong-yo back then…

was

myself.

[audience gasping, murmuring]

-As a result…
-What?

…I have enjoyed undeserved glory.

I have basked in it for nearly a decade.

I offer my sincerest apologies
to Conductor Choi Jeong-yo.

He endured years of suffering
because of me.

As of this moment,

I intend to walk away
from all the privileges I have been given

and accept the punishment I deserve.

To everyone who has supported me
all these years,

I apologize to you.

I'm sorry for letting you all down.

[audience muttering]

-Seriously?
-Oh, my God, this is unbelievable.

[breathing shakily]

[exhales sharply]

[attendee] What just happened?

[gasps]

Why you…

What the hell? Why are you doing this?

I'm sorry.

And thank you.

It took me until today…

to truly understand you.

What the hell does that mean?

Mr. Kang Pi-o?

I'm Inspector Han Sang-gu

from the Major Crimes Investigation Unit.

We have some questions.
Would you come with us, please?

[Jeong-yo exhales deeply]

Uh, wait, I think there's been
a misunderstanding.

Just wait a moment.

Hold on. Pi-o,
tell me what's going on right now!

Is it really true?

Pi-o! Pi-o, wait!

Just wait, please!

Let him explain! Please wait!

Who knew Kang Pi-o would
be behind it all along?

-Guess he really did it.
-Guess he did.

[sighs]

[intriguing music plays]

-[passerby 1] Kang Pi-o?
-[passerby 2] Oh, my gosh!

What's going on? Is that for real? [gasps]

Quick, look it up!

KANG PI-O CONFESSES TO INVOLVEMENT
IN CHOI JEONG-YO'S ABDUCTION

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SUCCESS:
KANG PI-O CONTROVERSY ESCALATES

-Check another site. Check the news.
-I can't believe it. He couldn't have!

CALLING…
KANG JI-HYE

[sighs]

[phones ringing]

Why isn't she picking up the phone?

[phone buzzing]

Oh.

Excuse me, Officer?

Where is Pianist Kang Pi-o
being held right now?

Oh, he's being interviewed.

So you can't see him.

[Ji-hye] Please let me see
the detective in charge.

I'll explain everything.

I'm the one who did it.

It was all me, you see?

My son is innocent, Officer.

[officer] I understand
what you're saying, ma'am,

but he's being interviewed right now,
so you can't see him.

Please, go home for now.

When they're finished with him,
you can request to see him.

-But I did it.
-Sure.

I'm the one you should arrest. Detective.

Ms. Kang.

Jae-in.

What am I going to do?

You know, right?

You know the truth.

Pi-o didn't do it.
I swear to you, he didn't.

It was all…

-It was all me.
-Oh.

[breathing heavily]

[breathing shakily]

[Jeong-yo] Let me see him.

Oh, uh, I'm sorry,

but I can't let you meet
with the suspect alone.

-It's not allowed.
-No.

Please, I need to see him.

[sighs] Um…

Just a moment. Wait here.

[Jeong-yo sighs]

[suspenseful music plays]

What are you doing?

You…

You ruined everything. You know that?

Do you have any idea what it took for me
just to hold on all these years?

Do you…

Do you really think
this is how I wanted it to end?

I was supposed to be the one to judge you,

and if you died,
I was meant to have k*lled you.

-So why?
-I'm sorry.

This was the best that I could do,
and you know it.

You're far too talented an artist
to waste your time on this.

Your quest for revenge
will destroy your soul.

-[breathing shakily]
-Stop using your hate to make music…

and make it for yourself.

-[bangs on table]
-[thuds]

-Okay, it's time to go, Mr. Choi.
-Who are you to tell me that?

-[Sang-gu] Time to leave! Calm down!
-[grunting]

-Who do you think you are, lecturing me?
-[officers clamoring]

-You need to leave now!
-What gives you the right?

[somber music plays]

[sighs]

-[phone buzzing]

INCOMING CALL
HYUN-CHUL

sh*t…

[Hyun-chul] Where are you?

Celebrating on your own?

MISSED CALL
HYUN-CHUL

[sighs]

[sighs]

Did the police say anything to you?

It's not true.

There's been a mistake, hasn't there?

No, it's not true.

Pi-o didn't do it.

Then why would Pi-o
say something like that?

Because I did it.

Just what are you saying?

Pi-o didn't do it.

Because I ordered the kidnapping.

You're saying it was you?

That's right.

That's what I said.

Pi-o was going to lose that day.

So I made sure he would win!

Ji-hye…

are you even human?

How could you do such a thing?

What kind of monster are you?

This whole mess is on you. You know that?

If you had given more affection to Pi-o,
I would have never had to do that.

Dad, if you had only accepted Pi-o
as your grandson,

I never would have
done something that crazy!

Why did you do that?

Why did you do that to me?

Why did you do that to Pi-o?
Why did you do it?

Tell me!

[sobs] Tell me.

[sobbing]

Why did you do that?

Why, Daddy?

Why did you do that?

[sobbing]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[Ji-hye] I…

came to turn myself in.

I was the one who did it.

My son knew nothing about it.

He found out the truth recently.

He's just trying to protect me.

That's why he turned himself in.

You can check through Pi-o's phone.

There's a photo of me meeting with
the kidnapper when I paid him to do it.

You should look for it.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

We checked Kang Pi-o's phone.

We didn't find anything like that.

-It was there.
-Ma'am.

Mr. Kang Pi-o, uh…

submitted conclusive evidence
that he has been in continuous contact

with the criminals
that were behind the kidnapping.

And recently,

he withdrew
a large sum of money in Moldova

to hand over to the kidnappers.

[cries]

Um… [clears throat]

I just want to make one thing clear.

There is no way that you can
take the blame for your son's crime.

So, if you would, please stop interfering

and go home.

Believe me. I swear, it was really me.

[sobbing] Oh, please. Please believe me!

I was behind it.

[doorbell chimes]

Jeong-yo.

Will you forgive me?

I was the one who had you kidnapped.

Pi-o wasn't involved.

I don't know,
I must have lost my mind back then.

I did such a disgusting thing to you.

Pi-o didn't know anything about it,
and he only recently found out the truth.

He wanted us to beg for your forgiveness.

But I refused
and threatened to k*ll myself.

That's why he didn't tell you.

Even still, Pi-o calls me his mother.

He has chosen to take the blame
for everything that I've done.

Jeong-yo,

could you testify to the police that

Pi-o didn't do it,

that you remember
that it was me that did it?

I deserve your hatred,

yet no matter how hard
I try to think of another way,

I can't think of anyone else
to ask for help but you.

Please help make this right.

Let me bear the punishment.

Please just save my son.

Do you actually expect me to believe that?

[gasps]

I understand
that you want to protect your son,

but why would you come here
and ask me to do that?

Why would you ask the one
whose life he ruined completely?

Please go home now,
or I'll have to call the police.

[sobbing] No! No! It's true.

You have to believe me, Jeong-yo.

It was all my fault.

It was all me. Pi-o…

Pi-o didn't know anything! No!

Jeong-yo! Jeong-yo! Jeong-yo!

Jeong-yo! Jeong-yo!

[sobbing] Jeong-yo, please listen to me.

I'm sorry.

-[breathing shakily]
-I'm so sorry.

I did you so wrong.

Pi-o was your good friend.

You can hate me all you want,
but please don't hate Pi-o.

Please. [sobbing]

[Sang-gu] During your one-on-one
with the suspect,

you spoke to him

as though you already knew
that he was guilty.

Is this actually the case?

That's how it looks.

-[Pi-o] I'm sorry.
-[breathing shakily]

And thank you.

It took me until today…

[pensive music plays]

…to truly understand you.

This was the best that I could do,
and you know it.

[breathing shakily]

You're far too talented an artist
to waste your time on this.

Your quest for revenge
will destroy your soul.

Stop using your hate to make music…

and make it for yourself.

[sighs]

[sighs]

No. No.

I don't, uh, remember.

[sighs] All right then.

And everything you said?
What was all that?

About how Kang Pi-o
ordered your kidnapping.

I just…

happened to hear a rumor about it.

[sighs]

Mr. Choi.

Choi Jeong-yo?

Hello, Mr. Choi.

I have something to tell you
about Mr. Kang Pi-o.

Could we talk for a moment?

Oh, you may not know who I am, Mr. Choi,

but I feel like I've known you
for so long. [chuckles]

I'm so happy
to finally meet you in person.

What is it you wanted to tell me?

Well, you see,

the truth is,

Mr. Kang did not arrange
to have you kidnapped back then.

In fact, he desperately hoped
you were still alive.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Did you know that Mr. Kang
had been secretly searching for you

the last five years?

And I was the one looking into it.

So what?

How can you be sure
he wasn't just checking

to see if I was really dead
or still alive, can you prove that?

'Cause I saw how he reacted
when he heard that you had passed away.

He was absolutely devastated.

Did Ms. Kang tell you to look for me?

Why the hell are you spinning
such bullshit lies like that?

Do I really look that stupid to you
that I'd buy into this ridiculous story?

When we went to meet the kidnapper,

I had my recorder running.

[sighs]

[scoffs]

This contains Mr. Kang's real feelings.

[breathes deeply]

[Pi-o on recording] Why did you k*ll him?

Was it for money?

Did you abduct him for that reason?
Or did someone--

[Andrei] Enough.

You want to know?

Three million lei.

Then I'll tell you.

-[grunting]
-[Pi-o] Tell me!

[Martin] Mr. Kang, no!

[Pi-o] You k*lled him
for something so small?

You know who he was?

He was my friend!

[Martin] Come on, stop!

[grunting, panting]

[Andrei] Do you know who we are?

You little…

You know what?

-Now, six million. Then I'll tell you.
-[static on recording]

[Jeong-yo in flashback] And I also got
to see you pay off another one of them.

Is there an international bank
close by here?

[solemn music plays]

[breathing shakily]

[sighs]

CHOI JEONG-YO

I'VE ALREADY MEMORIZED IT ALL
USE IT IF YOU NEED IT!

[Pi-o] Come back, Jeong-yo.

[cries]

[sniffles]

[crying]

[sobbing]

[sniffles, sighs]

[crying]

-[keys rattling]
-[lock clicking]

Kang Pi-o, come on out.

You may go home now.

What's the reason for releasing me?

Did my mother turn herself in,
claiming that she was behind it?

Let me be very clear.

She must have somehow fabricated
evidence to show that she did it,

but it's not true.

Don't believe her, because I did it.
So, please, sir--

Um… [sighs]

That's enough, Kang Pi-o.

We've reviewed all the evidence,

and the facts prove
that you are not the one who did it.

Besides that,

the victim has testified
that you're innocent.

Do you admit to arranging
Mr. Choi Jeong-yo's kidnapping?

[Ji-hye] Yes.

I admit to it.

When did you meet the kidnappers?

On March 18th, 2017.

As I recall, I met with them
near Wenceslas Square in Prague.

SEOUL CENTRAL POLICE STATION

[melancholic music plays]

Are you okay?

I'm sorry, Pi-o.

I had no idea what you were dealing with,

and I just kept blaming you,
resenting you.

But still, you should have told me.

You didn't have to carry it
all on your own.

I could have helped you.

I'm sorry, Jae-in…

I'm sorry you had to see me like this.

[somber music plays]

Kang Pi-o.

Why did you do it?

I heard everything.

I wish you would have told me sooner…

told me it wasn't you.

You should have at least
have been honest with me.

I'm sorry.

But, you know…

even if I didn't do it,

I'd be lying if I said I never wanted to.

Even if my mom hadn't done it,

I would've wanted to get rid of you
at some point, I guess.

That's what it's like to be second-best.

[scoffs]

-[lock clicking]
-[keys rattling]

Why did you do it?

You tell me first.

You made a complete fool out of me.

Because it was all my fault.

Uh…

I've always loved seeing you smile,
ever since I was a kid.

So I wanted to do
whatever it took to see you smile.

When I won the competition,

you smiled brighter
than I'd ever seen you smile before.

And I thought…

"This is it.

My mom is finally proud of me.

She's not ashamed of me.

She's actually proud of me."

In the end, I think

I'm the one who made you this way.

Kang Pi-o…

don't you ever think that.

It's all my fault.
It has been from the start.

People always used
to look at me and laugh.

But then my precious gem came along.

I said,

"The son I gave birth to is a gift
from heaven itself.

You can mock me all you want.

Your jeers are nothing
but envy and jealousy."

Through you,
I had the chance to show them all.

That's why I was so hard on you
all the time.

And because you did as you were told
without ever complaining,

I kept pushing you harder
to become the best.

I'm so very sorry.

I only wanted to help you
with your music career,

but I ended up getting in the way.

You need to forget about me now.

Cut ties with me and go your own way.

Go spread your wings.

And only think about
the music that you love.

[sighs]

You must have been sick and tired
of living as my son.

Well, I'm just as sick of it.

Sick of being your mother.

[ticking]

[breathes deeply]

[somber music plays]

[ticking echoes]

[chattering]

Continuing from yesterday,

we'll be rehearsing the Lacrimosa
from Mozart's Requiem in D minor.

As you know,

this was the last piece of music
Mozart worked on before he died.

And as if he foresaw his own death,

Mozart filled every single note
with a sense of foreboding.

So, as the Lacrimosa suggests,

the violinists should sound
like teardrops slowly falling one by one.

As for the chorus,

you should take your time
and then gradually build,

like one slowly approaching
the seat of judgment,

with the tension rising carefully,
steadily, and with conviction.

FOUR HANDS, TWO SONATAS

[musician] I can't believe
such a prominent family like his

could unravel so quickly.

This mean our little project's kaput now?

[Pi-o] I'm done for good.

Everything.
It all happened because of my greed.

Come with me.
I have something to show you.

The only thing we can do now
is just keep making music.

Just like that day.

Freely.
