01:53Oh, hello. Jonah Quigley.
01:55I've, uh, come to tune your piano.
02:03Where's your dog?
02:05Oh, I don't have a dog.
02:07The last fellow had a dog.
02:09Oh, well, perhaps he was unsighted.
02:11Many of my colleagues are.
02:12They have a heightened sense of hearing,
02:14which makes them ideal for the position.
02:16Relieved himself all up and down my lady's curtains, he did.
02:20Really?
02:21Oh, you mean the dog?
02:23Well, I can assure you I won't be doing that.
02:28Follow me.
02:40Oh, my goodness.
02:42A Beckstein, if I'm not mistaken.
02:44They have one of these in Buckingham Palace, so I'm told.
02:47One of the sweetest sound instruments in all of Europe.
02:51May I?
02:57She hasn't been fingered in a number of years.
03:00I do hope you'll be able to tighten the strings.
03:03Devonshire, go and fetch a glass of gooseberry juice for Mr...
03:07Quigley.
03:08Mr. Quigley. How quaint.
03:10Or would you prefer something stronger?
03:12I've just popped open a rather perky bottle of poo.
03:14No, thank you. Water is fine for me.
03:16No ice or lemon.
03:18Don't flatter yourself.
03:27You will have noticed that the Beckstein has seen better days.
03:30I really ought to have it replaced, but it's of sentimental value.
03:34Do you play at all?
03:36I'm afraid not. I haven't the patience.
03:38The instrument belonged to my late husband.
03:40After he passed, it rather went to seed.
03:43As did I.
03:44Well, I am very sorry to hear that.
03:47About your husband passing, I mean.
03:49Not about your going to seed.
03:51Which, of course, you haven't.
03:53Still most becoming.
03:55A fan of Burnham, was he?
03:57I'm sorry?
03:58Your husband, a fan of Nathaniel Burnham.
04:00I couldn't help but notice your bust.
04:03On the desk.
04:05And the sheet music.
04:06His fifth symphony was incredible.
04:08If you like that sort of thing.
04:10I was a keen student of his.
04:12The way he blends so many different styles and moods.
04:15Brooding and violent one minute.
04:17Romantic the next.
04:18I studied Burnham's symphonies at the Guildhall.
04:22Did you really?
04:23Yes.
04:24Yes, I had aspirations to compose myself at one point.
04:28But life got in the way.
04:32Inspiration failed to strike.
04:36So now I do this.
04:39Satisfying in its own way.
04:41A glass of water.
04:42No ice or lemon.
04:45Thank you.
04:46Would there be anything else, Mrs. Burnham?
04:48No, that's fine for now.
04:49Thank you, Devonshire.
04:51Mrs. Burnham.
04:54Nathaniel composed his fifth at that very piano, Mr. Quigley.
04:58And you're quite right.
05:00He could be romantic and brooding and, yes, violent.
05:05Especially when the muse deserted him.
05:07Which is why I wish to preserve his legacy.
05:10After all, there's many a good tune can be played on an old piano.
05:36I'm sorry.
06:02Mrs. Burnham.
06:03Oh, sorry.
06:03I didn't realize you had company.
06:06Not at all.
06:08This is Dickie Van Ars, a dear friend of mine
06:11who was also Nathaniel's lawyer.
06:13He takes care of all my business affairs.
06:15Of course.
06:16Pleasure to meet you, sir.
06:17How do you do?
06:18Won't you join us?
06:20Oh, well, I don't want to intrude.
06:25Thank you, Somerset.
06:26Devon, chair.
06:28Of course, sorry.
06:29The thing is, Mrs. Burnham, I have just
06:31found this piece of manuscript paper
06:33jammed between the C2 and the D2.
06:37I wondered whether it might have been written by Mr. Burnham.
06:39Only it looks to be part of a symphony,
06:41and it isn't anything I recognized.
06:46Oh, it is, all right.
06:49What a sharp-eyed fellow you are.
06:51Does that give me leave to hope that there
06:53may be an unperformed piece?
06:55This could be a major discovery.
06:58That will be all, Devonshire.
07:00Thank you.
07:01Ma'am.
07:10Are you familiar, Mr. Quigley, with The Curse of the Ninth?
07:16Vaguely, yes.
07:17Isn't it a sort of superstition?
07:18Exactly.
07:20It's the misguided belief that a composer
07:22is going to die after writing their ninth symphony.
07:26Marla started it.
07:27It's all poppycock.
07:28It isn't poppycock, Lillian.
07:30Ever since Ludwig, it's been a decisive landmark.
07:33Beethoven, Dvořák, Schubert, Bruckner.
07:36After the ninth, they all went from composing to decomposing.
07:41To embark upon symphony number nine
07:42is considered a folly, Mr. Quigley, a challenge to fate.
07:49Poor old Marla, well, he was possessed by the idea.
07:53He tried to dodge the curse, refusing
07:56to number his ninth symphony, passing it off as a song cycle.
07:59That's Lieder von der Erde.
08:01Exactly.
08:02But death was not to be cheated.
08:05By the time he composed this, his true ninth,
08:08his daughter had died, his wife had begun an affair,
08:12and his health had started to fail.
08:15He didn't live long enough to hear it performed.
08:19But Burnham, your husband, he only ever composed
08:24eight symphonies, correct?
08:26Technically, yes.
08:28He'd been very much affected by what had happened to Marla.
08:32Two months after attending the funeral in Vienna,
08:35Nathaniel announced he was going to start composing
08:37his next symphony in Gustav's honor.
08:41It would be his ninth.
08:45He never found it easy to begin any new work, but this was.
08:50It was torture.
08:53To begin with, we dismissed it as nothing
08:55more than writer's block.
08:56But I believe he'd been gripped by the fear of the curse.
09:01The thought of actually finishing the symphony
09:04came to terrify him.
09:07Then one night.
09:09Leave me alone!
09:10No!
09:11No!
09:20No!
09:32Oh!
09:35Oh!
09:36Oh!
09:41We reported it as a heart attack, of course,
09:44but it seems he'd driven himself completely mad.
09:48I am so sorry.
09:50He brought it upon himself.
09:53So the work remained unfinished.
10:00This is incredible.
10:01I had never heard mention of it before.
10:03I'm sure that the Burnham Society would've.
10:05Nathaniel made it clear to me that should he
10:07die before the ninth was complete,
10:10he wanted it buried with him.
10:12So that's what we did.
10:15It's out there, six feet under.
10:19Sad, really, to deprive the world of such genius.
10:27But we had to respect his wishes.
10:41Oh.
10:50A private burial, it was.
10:52Just my ladyship, Mr. Van Ass, and a couple of other witnesses,
10:55all very cloak and dagger.
10:58What are you getting at, Kent?
11:00Devonshire.
11:01Sorry, Devonshire.
11:03Just that he deserved better.
11:05Well, fortunately for us, his music lives on.
11:08Yes.
11:11Most of it.
11:12Oh, well, to have another Burnham gifted to the world,
11:14could put a price on such a thing.
11:15Mm.
11:21Here is the key to the tradesman's entrance.
11:24I'm giving it to you now so that you can make your own way
11:26out via the garden.
11:28Thank you.
11:30I don't want you disturbing Mrs. Burnham.
11:32She usually retires early on a weekday, 9 o'clock,
11:35I should imagine.
11:36She'll be asleep by then.
11:37I won't disturb her.
11:38I'm finished now, in fact.
11:41Mr. Quigley, do be careful when leaving
11:44that you don't trip over the gardener's spade, which
11:47you will find located in his shed near the pear tree.
11:50Well, I shan't trip up over it if it's
11:52tucked away in the shed, shall I?
11:56Here is the key to the shed.
12:00Yes, but why would I?
12:03Oh.
12:04Oh, but no, I don't think that I could.
12:069 o'clock?
12:09We working people have to make our own opportunities,
12:11don't we?
12:14Yes.
12:15Yes, I suppose we do.
12:16Oh.
12:17Oh.
12:45Just to let you know, I've turned down your bed
12:47and put your cocoa on the dressing table.
12:49I'll bring it down here, will you, Devonshire?
12:51I'm determined to finish this sky.
12:53It's almost 9 o'clock, Mum.
12:55The picture's not complete until the last piece goes in.
13:17There, most gratifying.
13:33Glorious to see all the little deities.
13:45I'll tidy this away for you, Mum.
13:48Very well.
13:50Good night, Devonshire.
13:52Night, Mum.
14:18Forgive me.
14:35You found it, then?
14:37Here, let me help you.
14:48You're going to have to fill all that back in.
14:50Yes, I'm aware of that.
14:55I think it's better if we don't see each other for a while.
14:57I've got several people interested.
14:59Interested in what?
15:00In buying this, of course.
15:01Like you said, it's priceless.
15:02We just need to find the highest bidder.
15:04I didn't say it was priceless.
15:05I said you couldn't put a price on it.
15:07This is a work of art.
15:08It's not a piece of merchandise.
15:10What did you think we were going to do with it?
15:12Well, I want to study it, to hear it played.
15:15I could be the first person to conduct it.
15:18You need your head examined.
15:20Who is going to let you conduct this?
15:22Why not me?
15:23I was one of his greatest admirers.
15:25I've studied his music for years.
15:27You remember your place, Mr Quigley.
15:28You are staffed, just like me.
15:30You're a paid-by-the-hour, low-life piano tuner.
15:33This is our ticket out of here.
15:35I am not like you.
15:36Don't you dare say that.
15:37This music is a miracle.
15:39It's a gift we can give back to the world.
15:41I'm not using it to line my own pocket.
15:43Well, I am!
15:44Come back, Darvish, please!
15:46My name is Devonshire!
16:14No!
16:41Please!
16:45No!
16:58Mr Quigley, how nice to see you again.
16:59Do come in.
17:10We've been trying to get hold of you all week.
17:12Your employer said something about a leave of absence.
17:15Yes.
17:16I've not been in the best of health since I was last here.
17:19Oh, dear.
17:20I am sorry to hear that.
17:22I apologise for having to admit you myself,
17:24but I'm afraid Devonshire has rather disappeared.
17:29Oh?
17:30Yes.
17:31It's quite a mystery.
17:32Took off in the middle of the night without a bye or leave.
17:35All of her things left in her room.
17:36Most perplexing.
17:38Well, perhaps she's just...
17:41Gone to ground?
17:42Yes, that's what we thought.
17:44Come through.
17:55You remember Dickie, don't you?
17:59Yes, of course. Hello.
18:01How do you do?
18:02Water.
18:03Seems to be the problem.
18:05Something seems a little off.
18:07A trifle flat, maybe.
18:11See what you think.
18:15What do you want me to play?
18:18How about this piece of Nathaniel's Unfinished Symphony
18:21that you unearthed?
18:24Oh, but I'm not very good at sight-reading.
18:27Nonsense.
18:28As a student of my late husband's work,
18:30it's surely of some interest.
18:42Mr Quigley, is everything all right?
18:45Perhaps he'd like a glass of water.
18:47Of course.
18:48Devon...
18:49Oh, I forgot.
18:51She's not here.
18:53And she's not coming back.
18:55Is she?
19:01I don't know.
19:02I don't know.
19:03I don't know.
19:04I don't know.
19:05I don't know.
19:06I don't know.
19:07I don't know.
19:08I don't know.
19:09I don't know.
19:11You know.
19:13Sit down.
19:16We knew that Devon, she was greedy.
19:18We hoped she might encourage you to dig up the manuscript,
19:21but we didn't expect you to kill her.
19:23Still, gives us more leverage, I suppose.
19:26What do you mean, leverage?
19:28I've been auditing the accounts,
19:30and it appears that Lillian's been living beyond her means.
19:33To put it bluntly, she's broke.
19:35She needs a lot of money quickly,
19:37and the unexpected discovery of her late husband's final work
19:40could be just the ticket, as they say.
19:43Yes, well, I'll give it back to you.
19:46I wanted to return it anyway.
19:48I think it's that that's been making me ill.
19:50Perhaps.
19:51That and the guilt of murdering a defenceless young woman.
19:57The point is, Mr Quigley, the symphony remains unfinished.
20:02And who better to complete it than my husband's greatest admirer?
20:06Water. No lemon, no ice.
20:09No, you don't understand.
20:11I can't complete it. I'm not up to it.
20:14Well, you said yourself you dabbled with composing.
20:17You have the Allegro Sonata from the first movement,
20:20the Andante, the Scherzo.
20:22It should be possible to complete the work.
20:24But what about the curse?
20:26Surely whoever completes the ninth will bring it upon themselves.
20:30The curse is a nonsense, as I've told you before.
20:33It's simply a state of mind.
20:35You can choose not to succumb to it.
20:38I'm already in its grip.
20:40I can feel a darkness following me wherever I go,
20:44death's hand on my shoulder.
20:47Better than a policeman's hand on your shoulder.
20:52Take all the time you wish.
20:55You can work here, have access to Nathaniel's archives,
20:58all of his notes.
21:01I just need you to finish the symphony.
21:04And then you'll be free.
21:08Splendid. That's settled, then.
21:11We look forward to hearing it.
21:13Thank you.
21:33What's the problem?
21:35I don't know where to begin.
21:38It's not the beginning, boy, it's the end.
21:41It's a movement, remember?
21:44Have you studied what's gone before?
21:46Yes, of course I have.
21:48Then build upon it.
21:50A modified sonata form.
21:54A false recapitulation.
21:56Exactly.
21:59But we must first consider the melody.
22:01What do you have?
22:03Uh...
22:05Ah...
22:12The second subject in the strings,
22:15a sequence resolved with a plagal cadence.
22:18Where's the risk?
22:21The final movement mustn't be timid.
22:24Fragmentation, inversion, imitation within the woodwinds.
22:29Use the diminished seventh to imply the secondary dominant.
22:35Underneath, a return to the drone and the brass as before.
22:40As in the exposition, you...
22:42Yes. Yes, this is it. I can hear it.
22:47It's satisfying, isn't it?
22:53Can I ask you a question?
22:56Of course.
23:00Why are you helping me?
23:06It amuses me.
23:09I want to see how far you get before it grips you.
23:14You mean the curse?
23:16Of course.
23:18No, that's your torment, not mine.
23:24I can already see the black shadow of doubt
23:28enveloping your every choice.
23:30Why bother?
23:32Why bother?
23:34You'll never reach the heights of Beethoven or Mahler.
23:38Or indeed me.
23:40But you never try.
23:43Why?
23:45Inspiration failed to strike.
23:49Piano tuning is satisfying in its own way.
23:56It takes an act of courage to create anything,
24:00and you, my boy, are a coward.
24:04I'm not listening to this.
24:06What you're talking about is self-doubt.
24:09It's not the same thing.
24:11Whoever completes my Ninth Symphony will end up the same as me.
24:16Food for the conqueror world.
24:19People die all the time.
24:21I've been assured by your wife that the curse isn't real.
24:26And why didn't she complete it herself?
24:30Thank you for your advice, my Tom.
24:34Now I need you to be quiet.
25:22Mr Quigley?
25:30Oh!
25:32You gave me rather a shock.
25:35I brought you some breakfast.
25:37Busy night, I see.
25:40It's finished.
25:42I'm glad to hear it.
25:44I don't believe in writer's block.
25:46Never did.
25:48Nathaniel just got trapped.
25:50As he reached the summit of his career,
25:52the oxygen of creativity grew thinner.
25:55He became convinced it was only ever going to be downhill.
25:58Yes.
25:59You've been in great pains to tell me, several times.
26:03I can't say it was easy, but after the initial block,
26:06it began to flow.
26:08I'm glad to hear it.
26:10I can't say it was easy, but after the initial block,
26:13it began to flow.
26:14Here.
26:15Don't forget the page I found in the piano.
26:17Thank you.
26:18The picture isn't complete until the last piece goes in.
26:21Of course.
26:28Oh.
26:29Congratulations, Mrs Burnham.
26:32You just finished your husband's ninth symphony.
26:35Which is why you don't believe in all that poppycock about a curse.
26:41Indeed.
26:43In the absence of Devonshire,
26:45you can see yourself out, Mr Quigley.
26:48Nice doing business with you.
27:10Oh.
27:40Thank you.
28:10No!
28:40You
29:10you
