00:00First we have a note, and we have a tune.
00:24Then we have a melody.
00:31Beethoven wrote this when he first discovered he was going deaf.
00:35All that rage and fury, out of which something beautiful.
00:45Am I boring you, Henry?
00:46It's just a bit stuffy.
00:47Can't you play something more exciting, sir?
00:51There is one thing you might like.
00:53It's called the Devil's Chord.
00:54Tell me more, sir.
00:55It was banned by the church in medieval times, in case it allows the devil to enter the room.
01:01Makes you shiver, doesn't it?
01:08Technically it's known as a tritone, but put it in context and...
01:12Oh, gosh, oh, goodness me, I...
01:29What?
01:33Is someone playing a game?
01:34Henry, get away from him.
01:50Them.
01:51What?
01:52Me.
01:53What?
01:54I'm them.
01:55You're who?
01:56You're who.
01:57Nice to see you again, kiddo.
02:00You know each other?
02:01That's my daddy.
02:02Don't be ridiculous.
02:04You didn't look up my name, sir.
02:05Of course I did.
02:06It's Henry...
02:07What was it?
02:08Henry...
02:09Henry Harbinger, that's it.
02:10Harbinger.
02:11You can think of him as my prelude.
02:12And now his song is sung.
02:13Who are you?
02:14My notation is...
02:15My son.
02:16My son.
02:17My son.
02:18My son.
02:19My son.
02:20My son.
02:21My son.
02:22My son.
02:23My son.
02:24My son.
02:25My son.
02:26My son.
02:27My son.
02:28My son.
02:29My son.
02:30My son.
02:31My son.
02:32By the way, I've seen you before.
02:33And that's to say where you're from.
02:34I'm a magician, Patrick.
02:35And you're...
02:36A m-maestro.
02:37But, what are you?
02:38I am...
02:39Music.
02:40And you, Mister Timothy Drake, you're a genius.
02:41Don't be ridiculous.
02:42You're the greatest composer who ever lived.
02:43Clever enough to find the lost chord, but it's so sad.
02:48And you, Mr. Timothy Drake, you're a genius.
02:57And you, Mr. Timothy Drake, you're a genius.
03:00But it's so sad, Timothy.
03:05You never had the luck.
03:08You never got that break.
03:12I did not. You're right.
03:14Nobody ever understood me.
03:16All those melodies stifled and strangled inside you.
03:23All those songs you never sang.
03:28They sit there still.
03:31Wrapped around your heart.
03:36Still beating.
03:38Wrapped so tight.
03:47Would you like me to set them free?
03:51I would love that. Yes. Yes.
03:55Music, maestro, please.
03:58Yes, sir.
04:02Ha-ha-ha!
04:05Ha-ha-ha!
04:08Ha-ha-ha!
04:11Ha-ha-ha!
04:13Ha-ha-ha!
04:15Ha-ha-ha!
04:17Ha-ha-ha!
04:19Ha-ha-ha!
04:21Ha-ha-ha!
04:28Ah!
04:42Now.

09:38♪♪
09:48♪♪
09:58♪♪
10:08♪♪
10:20Look at them.
10:23Everything's gone dull.
10:25No one hums, no one whistles,
10:28no one taps their feet.
10:30I don't get it, though.
10:32Music isn't...
10:34Like, you can't lose it or steal it or kill it.
10:36It's just natural.
10:37You get music when the wind blows through the trees.
10:40It's called aeolian tones.
10:42But music, music is the highest form of thought.
10:46If you take that away,
10:48Finland, that never happened.
10:53If music is gone, that means everything is changing.
10:56The whole human race is taking a different path.
10:59Okay, so what do we do?
11:01You take John Lennon, I'll take Paul McCartney.
11:03Find out what happened and when it happened.
11:06Two cups of tea, my darlings.
11:08That's half a crown, tar very much.
11:10How much?
11:12That is outrageous.
11:14Take it or leave it, sweetheart.
11:16That is daylight robbery.
11:18That's me, Margaret Lockwood in The Wicked Lady.
11:22Now there was a woman.
11:24Statuesque.
11:26Excuse me, hold on, Paul.
11:28Could I just have a word?
11:30I've got a cup of tea for you.
11:31Mr. Epstein sent me.
11:33Okay.
11:35Um, you are writing songs for the band, yeah?
11:39They're not very good, are they?
11:41Oh, uh...
11:43Well, no, no.
11:45Great.
11:47That's great, lad, that's how it should be.
11:49It's not like the old days when we had waltzes and fandangos and all that.
11:53But waltzes used to exist.
11:55When did they start becoming wrong?
11:57Dunno, way back.
11:59Twenties, thirties.
12:01Why? What happened?
12:03We started seeing sense.
12:06What we're doing here today is the last gasp.
12:09If I can make a bit of money out of cheap old rhymes,
12:11then I can settle down and get a proper job.
12:14It's embarrassing, singing.
12:17Just want to finish the album, get back to Liverpool and forget it.
12:21Well, you can't do that.
12:23We need you.
12:25What for? I'm no good at anything.
12:29But, Paul, see, when it's just you on your own,
12:33don't you think that there must be better songs?
12:38You know, songs that lift you and devastate you and make you sore?
12:45Songs that are tucked away somewhere in secret in the back of your mind.
12:55How do you know that?
12:58I just want to go home.
13:02Forget this life.
13:05Just have my tea and go to bed with a woman and me home, you know?
13:09That's all I want.
13:17Then why do I wake up crying?
13:20It's like sometimes, late at night, I get this thought.
13:25Like, it's so far away.
13:28It's a note.
13:30A single note.
13:32And then a second and a third and fourth and fifth.
13:38And you put them together,
13:40and it feels like the most holy thing on this Earth.
13:45Like a G and an E.
13:51And a G maybe twice.
13:54And then C.
13:59And if you put words to it, words right from your heart...
14:04I love you so much.
14:24And...
14:44Don't waste me time.
14:48Do you know what you are with your ideas, pal?
14:50Disgusting. You are disgusting.
14:54Disgusting.
15:00What the hell was that?
15:03Yeah, that's it. Vinny, nice and safe.
15:05I want that installed on the rooftop like it is precious china.
15:08Easy, boys. Don't hit the wall.
15:11Right. Let's head on up.
15:15The thing is, without music, dance must be gone.
15:19No one dances anymore. I mean, can you dance without music?
15:22I mean, you can, but do you want to?
15:24And think about it, Ruby, love songs.
15:26There are no more love songs anymore.
15:28Oh, my God, there's no more love songs in the whole wide world?
15:34Wow, London's head!
15:36That's smoke. I thought they got rid of that in the 50s.
15:39We had really bad smoke in December 62,
15:42but this, it's more like a darkening.
15:46The world is darkening.
15:48I live over there.
15:50You do what?
15:51I live over there.
15:52What do you mean?
15:53Shoreditch. I'm there right now.
15:55OK, you're going to have to start again.
15:57In the past, right now, I live in a place called Totter's Lane.
16:001963, I parked the TARDIS in a junkyard
16:03and I live there with my granddaughter, Susan.
16:05Oh!
16:07OK?
16:08Your what?
16:09My granddaughter.
16:10Susan?
16:11We could go and have a look, but, you know, timelines.
16:13You've got children.
16:15I did have. I will have.
16:17Time laws get a bit complicated.
16:19You've got a granddaughter, like now, like today,
16:21back in our time, my time.
16:23Ah! Where is she?
16:24I don't know.
16:27How do you not know?
16:29Time laws were murdered.
16:31Genocide rolled across time and space
16:33like a great big cellular explosion.
16:35Maybe it killed her too.
16:36Doctor, God.
16:45Here we go, Doc.
16:46Hey, Millie!
16:48Thank you very much!
16:50Come on. Bit of luck.
16:52I'll have you whistling by sundown.
16:54Can't bear whistling, Doc.
16:55All those horrible tunes.
16:57No thanks.
16:58All right.
17:01Oh!
17:06It's all yours, honey.
17:09Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
17:10I'm...
17:11I'm not that good.
17:12Ah, you are.
17:13Sweet, I've seen you.
17:15December 23, King's Arms.
17:17You opened with one more sleep.
17:21What?
17:22What have you there?
17:23Ah!
17:24All comes back to Christmas with you, doesn't it?
17:26I need you to play again.
17:30But what for?
17:31At this moment in time,
17:32you'll be something.
17:33You are the only music in the world.
17:34Let's see what happens if you bring music back.
17:38Well, that was just...
17:40No pressure.
17:43Okay.
17:45I wrote this for my friend, Trudy,
17:48when a girl broke her heart.
18:14Tch.
18:44Tch.
19:14Tch.
19:44Tch.
20:01No!
20:04No!
20:05No!
20:30You called.
20:33That was the giggle.
20:38Hide!
20:39You what?
20:40We've got to hide!
20:41You never hide!
20:45I can't fight this thing.
20:56I heard music!
21:03Where are you?
21:28Who was playing that piano?
21:32The chorus of ancient songs calls me maestro.
21:41And who are you?
21:48Because I heard music.
21:51Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
21:56And music is mine.
22:02♪♪
22:10♪♪
22:19♪♪
22:56Sound and vision.
23:22Music.
23:52Screaming.
23:59Music.
24:06Screaming.
24:08What was that? Were they inside the piano? How can they be inside the piano? The piano wouldn't work.
24:12Okay, okay, okay, okay.
24:14Okay.
24:18You're scaring me now.
24:20That thing must be part of the Pantheon.
24:28Oh, Ruby the R.
24:33Vast powers beyond the universe.
24:38I told you, when we first met, I said, I said the Toymaker.
24:42And defeating him took everything.
24:45It ripped me in half.
24:47But you survived.
24:48Ruby, it tore my soul in half. I can't survive that again.
25:06The Toymaker said, he said, he warned me, he said, my legions are coming.
25:15My legions are coming.
25:17You made that silence with the sonic, that worked, didn't it?
25:20Yeah, one trick, once. That's all you get with the gods.
25:23Okay, so what do we do?
25:24I don't know. I don't know, Ruby. That's just the point. I don't know.
25:28But you always know.
25:29I don't.
25:31The last time I got lucky, catch. One trick, once.
25:36But this thing is stealing music. I mean, how?
25:41How?
25:46I'm sorry.
25:49But the power of these creatures is so vast, the whole world could slide into the pit.
25:57Doctor?
26:01I know you're clever. I know that.
26:04But I've got news for you.
26:07The world did not end in 1963.
26:12Right.
26:13No, but it didn't. Okay, I'm living proof.
26:16I was born in 2004 and all my life I've had Beyonce and Sam Fender and Strictly and Tap Dancing and Braves and
26:24oh, my mum sings Danny Boy at Christmas when she's drunk to my gran.
26:27Don't you see? Doctor?
26:31Music exists.
26:39Come with me.
26:45So when is it for you back home? What time are you? June 2024?
26:50It's hard to keep track, but yeah, I think so. June, July.
27:00What, have we done it? Are we back?
27:022024. Brought you home.
27:32This is what we're trying to stop.
27:54But this isn't real. This is, it's just like a parallel universe.
28:01This is your home if Maestro isn't stopped.
28:21I think without music, the human race goes sour.
28:26Without any way of expressing a broken heart, they go to war without even knowing why.
28:35Then how am I still alive?
28:40Why don't I fade away? Because of me.
29:11Maestro. The Doctor.
29:18That was you in 63, wasn't it? Sweet cheeks.
29:23You stepped from one time to another like the Lord Kemperl who trapped my father and bound him in salt.
29:37Yes. Child of the toy maker.
29:43I should thank you, Doctor. Daddy was so bad to me.
29:53Daddy was so mean. Daddy was so tough. Daddy, Daddy, me. And that was quite enough.
30:01If he was a living game, you are the essence of music itself.
30:07But what's the point? You've destroyed the world. Music is gone. How is that win?
30:14Not gone, darling. Hush.
30:28The sound of a nuclear winter. The purest music of all.
30:37Aeolian tones. Music without the need of people.
30:42And every song that goes unsung feeds me.
30:48I get stronger and stronger until I can reach out and steal the music of the spheres.
30:59Then the universe will stop turning.
31:03It'll keen in a minor key. Aeolian tones across the whole of creation.
31:12And that lament will be my symphony supreme.
31:17With all of life extinguished.
31:20I'm going solo.
31:22How did you enter this world?
31:24Oh, that would be telling, babe.
31:28No, babes. Your father established the rules of fair play.
31:32One thing that he would never do is cheat.
31:36So I have a right to know.
31:39A genius. A single silly man who found the lost chord.
31:49Which means a different combination of notes would banish you.
31:52I said genius.
31:57And you might be bright and hot and...
32:03...tiny whiny.
32:06But genius? Oh, honey, I don't think so.
32:13Everything resonates, Doctor dear. Every atom hums.
32:18And anything that plays a tune is mine.
32:24Sing along, Doctor.
32:28Everybody.
32:33What is it? What's happening?
32:35Maestro controlling the TARDIS.
32:39I say never. Never!
32:44Really?
32:48Are we flying?
32:49Rolling, Josh.
32:52The only thing I can do is take us back to 1963.
33:02Where's Maestro?
33:04Composing.
33:06And the next tune might be deadly.
33:10I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
33:19Okay, come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
33:23Okay?
33:30Strange.
33:32Did you break it?
33:33No.
33:35No, no, no, no, no. That's something else.
33:40Hariyama!
33:41Right.
33:54Okay, if we can record the right tune on the sonic, we can use this as a weapon.
33:58Right.
33:59Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:00Oh, okay.
34:01Oh, my notes of banishment.
34:04Oh, John Lennon's guitar.
34:06It's got to be a good start.
34:09Okay, we don't need to be a genius.
34:11No, just, no offence, just a musical genius.
34:14Sometimes genius is just hard work.
34:16Yeah?
34:17If I can find the right tune.
34:19What?
34:21Wait a minute.
34:2466 billion trillion different tunes out there, but...
34:28No, but just wait.
34:30Can you hear that?
34:32What?
34:33Music.
34:40Doctor!
34:41I thought that was an automatic.
34:42No, no, no, stop!
34:47Stop it!
34:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
34:55No!
34:58Stop it!
35:13Put her down!
35:18No.
35:22No!
35:26Stop!
35:27Stop!
35:28Can't trick me twice, honey!
35:31Then fight me!
35:33Leave her alone!
35:35But she's the only human left!
35:38With music in her heart!
35:45Six songs for heartbroken lesbians.
35:50And that just makes me hungry.
35:54For all those delicious songs.
35:57Let me go!
36:02That's right, pretty girl!
36:04Sing!
36:10Maestro.
36:12Maestro, I am asking you, just...
36:16What?
36:22That's wrong.
36:23What do you mean?
36:25There's a hidden song deep inside her soul!
36:30What is it?
36:33What?
36:36I'm hungry.
36:44What is this?
36:47Christmas.
36:49The music that was playing the night that she was born.
36:55How could a song have so much power?
36:58And power like him?
37:00Like who?
37:01The oldest one?
37:02On the night of her birth?
37:05What for?
37:07What for?
37:09Who was there?
37:15Enough.
37:21Okay?
37:22I've got you.
37:23I've got you.
37:24What was it?
37:25It's okay.
37:29This creature is very wrong.
37:32And this, this is very, very, very right.
37:40Do you know what this is?
37:43This is the famous Abbey Road Piano.
37:47They call it the Mrs. Mills Piano.
37:51Oh, she was a girl.
37:53We had some adventures, me and Mrs. Mills.
37:56But this, this is the piano that the Beatles would play on their greatest hits.
38:01Penny Lane, Lady Madonna, all from this.
38:05So I know that this piano is rattling with all the potential to send you back to hell.
38:11Music battle.
38:41Music battle.
39:11Music battle.
39:41Music battle.
39:49Ah!
40:07Go on then.
40:10Do it.
40:13Can you find it?
40:16The lost chord.
40:20Are you enough of a genius?
40:22Oh, I would never call myself that, maestro.
40:25But I have lived.
40:28And I have loved.
40:31And I can only smile like this because I have lost so much.
40:35I've experienced everything.
40:37Every single thing.
40:40And if that's where music comes from...
40:49I can find the chord to banish you.
41:07Ah!
41:11Ha, ha, ha, ha!
41:13Ha, ha, ha, ha!
41:16Oh, oh, oh!
41:21Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
41:24Oh, oh, oh, oh!
41:31One more.
41:32Oh, oh!
41:36Oh, just one more.
41:40One...
41:42more.
41:52Um, no!
41:58Maestro!
42:07Ah!
42:17Some time.
42:33We're together, Piano!
42:37Ah!
42:39Sorry to keep harping on!
42:52No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
42:54Ah!
42:56No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
42:58Ah!
43:07No!
43:10You ain't no genius!
43:15No!
43:26I just want to go home.
43:28Well, you can't do that.
