Music City (2018) s01e01 Episode Script

1 I push to the limits [RACHYL.]
Nashville.
They call it Music City.
Dreamers move here from all over the world to chase one thing.
I keep on believing.
[RACHYL.]
But, few ever find it.
I'm Rachyl, and that cute guy is my husband Kerry.
Four years ago we left Los Angeles for Nashville to follow Kerry's dream of making it big in country music.
The other cute guy in my life is our little boy Wolfgang.
Between working as a nanny and taking care of our baby, my days are filled when Kerry's on tour.
Jessica is one of my best friends.
A pure southern heart with the voice of an angel.
She's been waiting her whole life to meet the one.
But still hasn't found him.
Jackson's a Nashville native.
Everything's always come easy for him.
But now he's trying to find his own path.
Alisa's got a powerful voice and she's determined to succeed.
And Bryant is an amazing drummer.
He refuses to put anyone before his music.
Anything's possible.
[RACHYL.]
I know we moved here for Kerry's dream, but sometimes, Anything's possible [RACHYL.]
I feel like I lost my own along the way.
When are you taking off on the road again? I gotta get a bus.

Oh that's awesome.
And I have a bible verse on my ribs.
- Show me! - Okay! I'm kidding! Well you can, go ahead! What's it say? It says "do not fear for I am with you".
Nice I love that verse.
I wanted like the whole thing but Show it to me one more time! (THEY LAUGH) So Rachyl, she was uh in my class today.

What were you doing? I had to go to the studio today.
Oh really that go well? It did yeah We're at this song and it's just about A boy?! It's not about, well technically yes.
It is about a boy but like, a boy that I don't know if I know yet or not.
Okay My future husband.
There you go.
Could be on the Thompson's right now.
Yeah you never know.
So you like to sing, I feel like people are either gifted with dancing or singing.
I feel like you can probably dance.
I can't I live right here I don't get out of that.
Do the hands right there.
Try to sing.
You try to sing? In the shower and the car.
I kinda wanna hear you.
No, I won't do it unless you do it.
I'll totally do it.
What's your favorite thing to sing? Any song on in the car, "I wanna dance with somebody".
- Really? - By Whitney Houston.
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody.
I wanna feel the heat with somebody.
Okay, yes! Jackson! With who? (THEY BOTH SING) With somebody who loves me.
You can sing! There you go.
You've gotta sing.
I mean, yeah.
Ohh I wanna dance with somebody, I wanna feel the heat with somebody, Yeah I wanna dance with somebody, With somebody who loves me.
Whoa! Nothing lasts forever, But wouldn't it be nice to stay together Tell me about the date.
Oh my gosh okay I was nervous 'cause I've never been on a blind date before.
And then the fact that he was so cute.
Like, he was, he is cute.
So yeah, whenever I sat down, I could just feel myself blushing, Ohh! But, get this, he sings.
Was there chemistry, like I think so.
Do you think he was into you? I hope so! I don't know.
- [RACHYL.]
Oh good.
- [JESSICA.]
I wanna know more.
It's the first date so I didn't tell him everything about me.
We didn't talk about like, waiting for marriage.
When have you in the past told guys you were waiting? I think it just naturally comes up.
You know like, "hey I'm Jessica, by the way" "I'm a 29 year old virgin.
" Yeah, well thank you Rach.
No it's a good thing! No it is.
It's a great thing.
It is you're right.
I want, like, what you and Kerry have.
That's special you know.
The perfect little family.
But one person kinda has to have a A what?! (THEY LAUGH) Were you gonna say "a real job"?! (THEY LAUGH) I don't know, I appreciate dreamers.
I mean that's why we live in Nashville.
Be around people who have these big ideas of what they're gonna do.
Which is why I wanna go to law school but, When did you decide you wanted to do that? A long time ago, I took my first LSA and found out I was pregnant the next day.
And I was gonna put it on hold until Wolfgang was like five so that I could be with him.
But I can't.
You're just like ready.
I'm, ugh, yeah.
I can't wait any more.
We could be stars We could be stars 'Cause we are those born and raised on summer days, That every small town sings about [JACKSON.]
Alexandra, what are you doing come on.
[ALEXANDRA.]
Yeah I know, I'm trying to button this thing.
You need help? [ALEXANDRA.]
No, hold on, okay.
You are never gonna believe what I am wearing! Is that Aunt Sharon's? She wore this when she was crowned Miss NC, USA.
That's so awesome.
But it was long and then it was long sleeved, it had a turtle neck.
I have the fabric right here.
We took off like four feet.
It was terrifying but I mean, I think it worked out.
I'm hoping that it'll just be like, a good luck charm, you know.
Having my mom's gown that she was crowned in and competing for the same title.
You know, I kinda have someone that I might want to go with me to the pageant.
Hmm.
She's a beautiful, Southern girl.
And let me guess, she's also blonde.
She's also blonde.
Go figure.
What does she do? She's a musician, or pursuing a career in music.
Oh my gosh.
What? That is just what Nashville needs is one more dreamer coming to the city and tryna be a musician.
Stop be open minded! You're gonna start not showering and move to some hippie part of Nashville.
No, not gonna be that drastic, but you know, give her a chance.
Whatever, I mean if you like her, then I'll have to see for myself.
I hope so.
I mean, Jackson your past relationships, it's no secret you've had some You've had a few rocky patches with the women.
But no, she's not coming to Miss NC.
Let's just keep that open seat available.
Oh judgement's been running late, Got a debt to pay, Lost track of my own mistakes, And the cavalcade is hunting me down Pretty psyched to come watch you and get out of the house! So do you have more gigs this week in town? Or next week? I have no gigs in town other than tonight.
And that is an excellent segue point into telling you that I have accepted a tour that leaves next week and I will be gone, a little bit longer than normal.
Like how long? And by that I mean about six weeks.
Why are you laughing? Anticipation of the wrath.
Why are you just now telling me? Found out a few days ago.
I've just kind been waiting.
What the hell you told me last time you would tell me right away, so we can talk about it together.
They needed an answer.
I needed to take it before it was passed on.
I'm sure you had 10 minutes to text me or Before it was passed on to someone else.
It's kinda, they give you a short window to get as much traction as you can, and that's not by turning down opportunities that are good for us.
Us? Us.
It's us.
We're a family.
You told me we were moving to Nashville for music and I support that and I want you to pursue your dreams.
But I had no idea this is what that was.
I didn't realize, I didn't really sign up for this.
I didn't sign up to be by myself in Nashville.
All the time.
I mean like do you even recognize me anymore? Am I even the person that you met in Los Angeles? I'm not even the same person.
I don't even know what that means, but if you can tell me specifically All I do is chores, I literally- You tell me specifically what you want and what you need and then we can compromise.
I want me and you to do fun stuff together like we used to do when we met.
I have to play my show tonight.
And then we have the rest of the weekend to To hang out and spend some time together.
Everything I own fits inside a guitar case, A single change of clothes, And the memories of everything I sold, For a diamond ring.
That she never gave back, She stood me up, Got some news on the way here.
Okay, what happened? Kerry just dropped a bomb that he's leaving in like a week for six weeks.
Six weeks is a long time! Yeah if you had a boyfriend or husband or whatever and you were gonna leave for six weeks, don't you think you'll call them right away? Yeah the first thing I'm doing is calling my significant other.
You knew you were signing up for this.
I didn't know what life as a musician was.
It's not like you can stop him.
Would you stop him? I wouldn't stop him.
I'm excited I married an artist, I wanna be with an artist, you know I wanna support him.
But communication is huge, you know.
What on earth are you gonna do? I don't know.
Yeah we didn't really conclude, it was just "See you in six weeks"? (CROWD CHEERS AS SONG ENDS) [KERRY.]
Thank you so much for coming out.
I would like to introduce you to a friend, invite Jessica Mack up to the stage.
How's everybody doing? - Wanna go watch? - Sure.
Okay let's do it.
I'm gonna sing one song that I wrote.
This song is called "Still Out There".
It's about my future husband.
(JESSICA PLAYS AN UPBEAT COUNTRY SONG) I wonder if you think of me, Think of me like I do, Of you, And I wonder if you pray for me, Pray for me like I do, For you, I've been walkin' around, With my eyes wide open, Heart's a little worn out, From being broken, But I know you're still out there, You're still out there, Ooooh for me.
Ohhh yeah yeah for me.
Ohhh I wonder if you'll ever know, How much faith I have in you, You're still out there for me.
(CROWD CHEERS) Thank you guys.
Thank you all so much for coming out, and before I go I just want to take a moment to dedicate this next song to my wife Rachyl she's upstairs right there look at her! Being married to an artist like myself you know, we're gone most of the time, we got a one and a half year old, almost two year old, so she's in charge of keeping home front good.
She's not really a fan of country music so I figure I'd learn her a pop song.
So I say thank you and this one's for you.
(CASTLE ON THE HILL BY ED SHEERAN) When I was six years old I broke my leg, Running from my brother and his friends, Tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass, I rolled down, I was younger then, take me back to when I, Found my heart and broke it here, Made friends and lost them through the years, And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown, But I can't wait to go home, I'm on my way, Driving at ninety down those country lanes, Singing to "Tiny Dancer", And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real, We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill, We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill.
Next tine on Music City.
When you're walking down the street, who are the guys who turn your head? Tall, blonde, blue eyes like yours.
What's been going on with Jackson? He's still doesn't know that I'm saving myself for marriage.
She's such a sweet girl.
Well it sounds like this girl's got you scared Jackson boy Would you mind if I gave you a kiss? Where are you going next? [JACKSON.]
I'll be in LA next.
Guy with a heart-throb image like Kerry is definitely getting a lot of attention.
Even though he's got a ring on his finger? Just 'cause there's goalie, doesn't mean you don't play soccer.
I push to the limit, I climb every wall, I keep on believing, That anything's possible, I keep on believing, Anything's possible.
