Melt semi-sweet chocolate and cubed unsalted butter in a bowl over simmering water, stirring occasionally until melted.

In a separate bowl, whisk together whole eggs and egg yolks until homogeneous and no streaks of white remain.

Add granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the egg mixture and whisk until light and slightly voluminous.

Check the chocolate mixture, ensuring it is warm and melted without boiling water getting in.

Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the egg mixture all at once and whisk quickly to avoid cooking the eggs.

Let the filling sit while the pie crust is being prepared, ensuring it doesn't cool too much before pouring into the crust.

Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared partially baked pie crust.

Bake the pie in the oven for about 20 minutes with parchment and weights, then remove the weights and bake for an additional 10 minutes until set.
