Nashville s06e05 Episode Script

1 - Previously on Nashville - Just telling these guys how great we thought y'all were tonight.
You don't feel like there was a lack of cohesion? Maybe Avery has a point, maybe y'all should figure out who you are as a group a little bit, you know? Instead of just as individuals.
I want to go back to the place you were yesterday.
The man you called "uncle", where is he? No! No! You're safe.
You're all right.
I'm walking around with a piece of me gone, and I don't want to wreck this thing Shut up.
Come and get it! Oh, my God, that smells so good.
You're welcome.
Did I ever tell you you're an amazing big sister? No, but thank you.
Too bad Dad's not here.
Where is he anyway? Where do you think? That is not true.
- Oh, my God, it's so true and you know it.
- It's not! Why would you even think that? Because you were always so stern and grumpy.
That's just my face.
- Oh, that's what it was.
Okay.
- It was.
You kidnapped me and you threw me in the damn woods.
Yeah, and how did that turn out? Yeah, it was pretty good.
You didn't like me.
Just admit it.
You are so nuts.
Oh, my God, this is so good.
Who knew all we had to do was go get a burger together? - And fries.
- Yep.
- (CHUCKLES) - Oh, my God.
- What? - You got - No! Where? - All over.
Okay.
And then those funny familiar I should warn you that I don't really dance.
- That's okay.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- What do I do? Well, just close your eyes.
Now what? And now just don't do anything.
Are we just supposed to go home now? I guess so.
Do you want to come over? Are you sure? - Pretty sure.
- Pretty sure? Um - What? - Nothing.
- What? - Protection.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I haven't thought about that part.
No, that's okay.
I haven't either.
I could probably go to a drugstore now or something? Far away, I guess.
Maybe we should just wait.
- We could absolutely wait, yeah.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Wait till the girls are both - out of the house one night - Yeah, and Jake's at his dad's At his dad's, yeah, yeah.
- That'd be better? - Yeah, that'd be better, right? - Don't you think? - Yeah.
Okay.
Good.
Yeah, they're back in Atlanta first week of June.
But we should be able to work out something in New York after that.
Bucky, I told you nothing after May.
Come on.
Let's do this.
- This thing in New York is a huge deal.
- No, no.
I'm in the studio with my band in June.
Oh, that's cute.
That like a side project or - Shut up.
- Come on.
Let's do this.
All right.
From the chorus.
Go with it Let's put a little bit of soul in it I got a feeling that You and I got something so good Don't stop it What I want, girl, you got it I got a feeling that You and I got something so good So good (COUGHING) All right, guys.
I got a question.
Why is it always me singing the high girly parts? 'Cause you're the one with the high girly voice.
Okay.
What if we got an actual girl to sing those parts? Oh, then we could get rid of you.
I'm serious.
I mean, you know, somebody who's great to look at.
Super talented and can sing high.
- A girl? - Yeah.
I think it's a good idea.
I mean, it's not the craziest idea.
Little Big Town, Alabama Shakes.
It's working real well for them.
Maybe this boyband does need a girl.
Yeah.
Let's go find us a girl.
Hey.
I can't imagine what you must be going through right now.
To have to re-experience all that pain.
I mean, I think it's good.
This thing was running my whole life without me even knowing it.
I was a little girl and was raped.
It's so hard to even hear those words.
Who knows what would have been different? Maybe everything.
Is that what Darius thinks? Well, it makes sense.
Maybe every choice I've ever made has been affected by this in some way.
- Every choice? - Yeah.
Even us? Don't.
Don't go there.
I mean I mean, if it's true, I want to know.
Look, I'm just trying to figure out my own life right now.
And I'm a long, long way from getting there.
Babe? Even us? (CHATTERING) Oh, my God, this is taking forever today.
- (HORN HONKING) - Oh, my God.
Seriously? Like you're gonna be late if these people don't get a move on it.
Let's go.
Maddie, watch this! You took what's mine Now I got to clip your wings I know what's up - Wait - I thought they broke up.
Maddie J, you're in the way Oh, my God! You can't have him! This is insane! Wait, do you want me to stay with you? I can.
No, you gotta go.
I'm okay.
(CELL PHONE RINGS) Hi.
I was gonna call you.
Well, I beat you to it.
(LAUGHS) Listen, I was thinking about our scheduling issue.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah? Um, I'm playing the Bluebird tomorrow night, as you know.
But the night after that is starting to look kind of wide open.
Maddie's got plans and Daphne's got a sleepover.
Well, that's great, actually.
Because Jake will be at his father's, so - So okay? - Okay.
Okay, great.
Bye.
Okay.
Bye.
(EXHALES) Okay.
And they say try to hide The anxious inside 'cause they know Paranoid of nothing in their control We parted ways, I came upon a grave of bodies Left in my own wake A boneyard of mistakes Saw my own face on every one of them Now I struggle with the grace To forgive and let erase Look at me now After After I said I'd rather be alone Sorry.
Sorry, it feels like I'm a little off-key.
Let me just, um start again.
- This is not working.
- It was painful.
At this rate, this is gonna take months.
Don't we know anybody? Somebody who has a cousin who can sing Oh, is that where we are? - Someone's cousin? Come on, man.
- I didn't mean literally.
Gunnar's just gonna have to go back to singing the high parts.
Gunnar's not going back to sing the high parts.
Whoa, whoa, hold on.
Listen.
Who is that? It ain't over now Wherever you are That's where I'm gonna find you All that you forgot That's what I will remind you A counterattack, tit for tat Back again No, I'm not your friend Not here to make amends Every scar you left on me I'm gonna make a match Cut you with a dagger That you left in my back Honey, I ain't even gotten even So it ain't the end Sweet revenge Just because you got me good Don't mean that's it's over It ain't over (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) - That, that was great.
- You're amazing.
- Oh, thanks.
- Sorry.
- My name's Avery and we're - We're looking for someone Somebody exactly like you.
That's interesting.
Sorry.
We're just kind of blown away.
See, we got a band.
We're looking for a backup singer.
But you probably don't want to do that.
- We just thought - I'm Will, by the way.
I know.
Will Lexington.
And you're Avery Barkley.
And you're Gunnar Scott.
I'm Alannah, by the way.
I don't get it.
You guys don't sing together.
- Well, we kind of do.
- Do now.
Okay.
Imagine your life, your whole life up to now without the trauma in it.
What kind of mother would you have been? Would you even have become a mother or a wife or a celebrity? Maybe not.
Maybe if I didn't need constant approval from other people, I You are an amazing human being, Juliette.
Don't ever forget that.
I've always felt cut off from other people.
Like I was frozen inside.
Yet look at the way you've attracted so many people to you.
You became a charming, captivating, irresistible narcissist because you had to.
This event happened when you were too young to even begin to understand it.
How can I possibly begin to process all this? You already have.
You processed it the moment you recovered the memory.
It's what you've been searching for your whole life.
Okay.
And what now? You're in a very powerful place right now.
You had a transformation.
It's time to serve, to help others.
We have an outreach program I think you'll respond to.
Oh, yeah? What is that? It's working with young children who've endured terrible trauma and loss.
It's in Bolivia.
- Bolivia? - Mm-hmm.
You'll leave in a few days.
What? No! I can't do that! The time to act is now before your daily life dilutes your awakening.
It's just two weeks.
You need to see if this is your path.
That's in southern Oregon? Yeah.
It's a real small town.
Big family? Only child, actually.
I was alone a lot growing up.
Total geek in high school.
I felt invisible until I discovered music.
Then it was like none of that mattered anymore.
So I just left home when I was 16.
I could not get out of there fast enough.
I can relate to that.
I mean, I just wanted to find people, anyone who was like me.
So how long you been in Nashville? A couple of months.
I really love it.
Yeah? You don't mind the competitiveness? Everybody trying to make it? Uh, I don't really think about it.
I just love making music.
And if it's meant to happen, I figure it'll happen.
Good attitude.
I got a question.
How do you feel about touring? Oh, I would love it.
So your schedule's open? Like, any relationships with people or dogs, or anything like that? (CHUCKLES) - Nope.
I'm free as a bird.
- Oh.
Hmm.
- Great.
That's great.
- Fantastic, yeah.
Okay, yeah.
It was great meeting you, Alannah.
Thanks for this.
We'll be in touch.
All right, awesome.
Thank you.
- Thanks.
- Nice to meet you.
- Already? - What? Asking her if she has a boyfriend? Uh, I asked her if she had a dog.
Yeah, right.
If she'd been a dude, you'd have done the same thing.
I can't deny that.
Did you find everything you needed? I did, yes, sir.
Good.
How do those work for you? Do they last more than one or two shaves? I hate it when they get dull right away.
- Yeah, they do.
They last.
- Okay.
All right.
So did you find everything you need? Yes, sir.
- You want anything? - I'm okay.
So I've been thinking about what you said before about us.
Yeah, me too.
Um, I actually wanted to talk to you about something.
Okay.
I talked to Darius yesterday and he seems to think that I'm in a very important part of my life.
What does that mean? Well, he says it would be the perfect time for me to take on a project.
Oh.
Sounds great.
What kind of project? It would less of a project and more doing service.
Helping other people who've gone through trauma.
Oh, I think that would be wonderful for you.
Yeah.
He thinks that I could make a huge difference.
That sounds good.
The only thing is they have this outreach program that's all set up and everything.
And it's in Bolivia.
- Bolivia? - Mm-hmm.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
Well, this would just be a very short trip until I figure out whether it's something I really want to do.
But you would have to stay here with Cadence, if that's okay.
Wow.
I don't really know how I feel about this.
I mean, you got to think this through.
I have thought this through.
It's just a quick trip.
You don't even know if it's safe.
I can take care of myself.
I think you know that by now.
It's not that.
I just I don't trust this guy.
Why are you letting him control your whole life like this? I'm not.
This is my life.
And I'm not letting him control me.
- Well, do I even get a say in this? - Of course.
All right, then let me think about it, okay? Okay.
- Maddie? - Oh, my God.
- I've been calling you.
- No.
- I have nothing to say to you.
- Listen, listen! Stop! - Listen! Listen to me - Stop! Don't touch me! Look, I know why you're upset at me.
Awesome.
So do I.
What's going on with Mia? Nothing! You know how I feel about you.
Did you watch the video? Like were you trying to hide me from her? - No! She's crazy! - Okay, yes she is! - And you're still seeing her! - Jonah? Jonah? - We broke up! - Sure, Jonah.
Jonah, Jonah! We gotta go! - Do this someplace else.
- (ALL YELLING AT ONCE) You're just gonna not talk? Are you kidding me? - Get your Hands off! - Give me your camera! (SHOUTING) I'm wandering, and wandering Where this all will lead With no more tears to cry And no more blood to bleed I could give in to this darkness And who knows, someday I might Till then I'll keep on walking Keep on looking for the light Singing ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (CHEER, APPLAUSE) Thank you.
You okay? MADDIE: Were you trying to hide me from her? JONAH: No, she's crazy.
What happened, baby? This is so messed up.
(SHOUTING ON VIDEO) Anybody get hurt? No.
It wasn't like that.
Can you give your sister and I a second, sweetheart? So we can talk? (SIGHS) - Thank you.
- Whatever.
Yo, come on, come on, come on, come on.
What are you doing? - (SIGHS) - Thank you.
Let me ask you something.
Who is this boy to you? I'm not sure that I know yet.
Well, look, I don't know him at all.
He might be a good guy.
Or he might be a bad guy.
I'm not here to judge.
I just - But you are judging.
- No, I'm not, no - Yes, you are.
I can feel it.
- No.
I just see what I see.
And I care about you, baby, so No offense, Dad.
But I've kind of been through this before.
Honestly, I'm I'm more worried about the fact that like, sometimes he's so with me and then other times, he's just gone.
That's got to be hard.
I really care about him, you know.
Yeah.
I guess you're gonna have to figure out what it is you want.
Here's the part that worries me, though.
When you get involved with someone who's that famous, it's very easy to lose yourself in their life.
That's not gonna happen.
Well, let me ask you how many songs you written recently? That's so not fair.
- I've been so busy.
- Well, that's my point, though.
All that crap right there, none of it has anything to do with your music or you as an artist.
- So now you're judging me? - No, I'm not judging you.
- Yeah, you are.
- No, I'm not.
I'm just saying that, baby, I don't want you to forget who you are or what you are.
Because what you are, it's amazing.
Can we have this conversation later? Yeah.
Lecture over.
Goodnight.
(KNOCKING) Uh, hi.
Jonah Ford.
Deacon Claybourne.
It's an honor to meet you, sir.
It's nice to finally meet you, too.
I'm sorry for barging in like this.
Like I told the guard, I just I wanted to speak to your daughter for a moment.
That's fine, but I would like to have a quick word with you myself first.
It's clear that the two of you are - Hi.
- Hi.
So - Dad.
- Yep.
Look, hate me or don't hate me.
But just hear me out, please? Okay, first of all, Mia's delusional.
We broke up weeks ago.
And I'm just as upset about what she did as you are.
- Really? - Don't you get it? Like anybody can say what they want about me.
Even if it's a lie, it doesn't matter as long as it's news.
Maddie, I can handle anything except you not believing me.
I feel like everything's just spinning out of control.
- Like I have no control over anything.
- What do you mean? - What do you mean? - I can't keep doing this! - What? - Me! I can't keep up this whole charade! Jonah, you're at the top of your game right now.
I mean, your tours sell out a year in advance.
Everybody loves you.
Your music is It's crap! I can barely leave my house most days, all right? I'm so anxious all the time.
I'm always having to be performing or I'm pretending to have the time of my life on frickin' Instagram.
Yeah, I get that.
I really do.
Sometimes I feel like Like I'm a freak in my own life.
Everybody wants you to be this person that doesn't exist.
Look, all I know is that when I'm with you, I feel like I'm me.
So when you turn on me, it scares me.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
I just I didn't know any of this.
Look, the last thing that I'm trying to do is hide you.
I need you.
Really? Yeah.
Come out with me tonight.
It's just a stupid EP rollout.
But it would mean a lot to me to have you right there by my side.
I actually have plans tonight (SIGHS) That I could change.
(CHUCKLES) - Jonah Ford is here! At our house! - Yes, he is.
- I know.
- Right now! Okay.
Hey, you give your sister her privacy, okay? I will, obviously.
I'm not a child.
Okay.
Also, sleepover's off.
Not happening anymore.
Right.
Wait.
What? Why not? - What's going on? - I don't know.
Cassie said her mom was having a meltdown.
Okay.
No eavesdropping.
Seriously? (SIGHS) (CELL PHONE RINGS) Hey, It's Jessie.
Leave a message.
- (BEEP) - Hi, Jessie.
So Daphne's sleepover has been canceled.
Which means, I guess, our night is too.
I'm real sorry.
- Hello? - Hey, Alannah! - ALL: Hey, it's all of us! - Hey, guys.
Well, we're really sorry to say this.
Yeah, yeah.
We got some bad news, Alannah.
Yeah.
Just don't take it too hard.
But if you're up for it We want you to play with us! Well, okay, I got some bad news too.
- I accept.
- Hey! - All right! - All right! Well, to further alarm you, we have a gig at 12th and Porter tonight.
Yeah.
Do you wanna take the plunge? I think I can handle it.
I'll fake it till I make it.
All right then! We'll be at Tracks all day so just come on by.
Will do and, hey, thank you, guys.
All right.
See you soon.
Hey, Dad oh, sorry.
Oh, that's all right.
What's up? I just wanted to let you know the sleepover is happening now.
Really? Yeah.
Her mom's fine.
Just keep writing.
Dad, my ride's here.
- Okay.
Have fun.
- You too.
Nice shirt.
Oh, thank you.
How are my two favorite girls? Not loving the spaghetti.
(LAUGHS) Rehearsal went great.
It's good.
I am gonna need to leave a little earlier for this gig tonight, though.
What gig? Oh, my gosh, I'm sorry.
I totally forgot.
You serious? - We talked about it this morning.
- I'm sorry.
- I know.
- You said it was fine.
I know.
I totally spaced.
I'm sorry.
I've had a lot on my mind.
It's okay.
I get it.
Like this might not be the best time but I really want to talk to you again about the service trip.
I need to give Darius an answer.
You know I'm going out on tour.
I mean, who's gonna take care of Cadence? Well, I'm only going to be gone for two weeks.
Emily can come and stay at the house - Two weeks? - Avery, I need this! Okay, I need a private life, one that is just my own! I'd settle for any kind of life right now.
What does that mean? - You know exactly what it means.
- No, I don't.
You're completely obsessed with this group! - It's all you talk about day and night! - Again? You're not even here when you're here! Avery, this is the first time in a long, long time that I can actually feel my life! Do you know what that means to me? Good for you, but what about me? Do you feel my life? Oh, you're so manipulative! That is unfair and you know it! Is it? I can't believe I'm having this conversation with you.
Do you even need us anymore? Except to save you from yourself? Wow.
I do not need you to save me.
I am saved! Could've been the night Could've been the wine Could've been her eyes that got me saying Do do do do Do do do do do do Do do do do Do do do do do do I took a chance, shot her a glance Said, baby, let's dance while the music's playing Do do do do Do do do do do do Do do do do Do do do do do do Go with it, let's put a little bit of soul in it I got a feeling that you and I got something so good Don't stop it What I want, girl, you got it I got a feeling that you and I got something so good Got, got, got, got a good thing going Rock steady, get ready, don't let going Got, got, got, got a good thing going Keep it rolling, keep it rolling - The kind that meets your family - Thanks.
We love you, Jonah.
The kind that's got a lot more to her Than just a pretty face - Just a pretty face - You good? - You are so beautiful.
- (LAUGHS) Look, Jonah's kissing her! She's so lucky.
- Jonah's kissing Maddie J! - I'm so jealous.
Let's get outta here? - Really? - Yeah.
Is he leaving? Jonah, I wanted a picture! Don't go, Jonah! (SIGHS) Cold tonight.
- Yeah.
It is a little bit.
- It'd be nice to have a fire.
Do you want me to make a fire? - Have you got any - Oh! Actually, that's not even a working fireplace.
So I don't even know why I said that.
I must be very nervous.
- I just - I think we're (LAUGHS) You go.
I just can't believe this is actually happening.
Neither can I.
Well, it's not too late to change your mind.
Not too late for you either.
(CHUCKLES) I won't change my mind.
Good.
I like being here.
I like being here, too.
Well, you live here.
(BOTH LAUGH) (BREATHING HEAVILY) (CRYING) - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- No.
No, it's okay.
I'm so sorry.
(CRYING) Oh, God.
I'm sorry, Jessie.
Deacon, stop apologizing, please.
It's okay.
Oh, God! I thought I could.
It's okay.
- I wanted to.
- I know.
I gotta get out of here.
- No, no! Deacon, stop.
- Just It's okay.
Listen, if you It's not okay.
If you need to talk about Rayna - No.
- It's fine.
No, it's not fine, Jessie - I promise you it's okay.
- No.
It's been 11 months.
I can tell you how many weeks and days, too, if you want.
But there haven't been one of those days where I haven't broken down in some way or another.
I understand.
The girls seem to be doing better, you know.
I mean, I think That just means I need to Deacon, you cannot keep this locked up inside of you.
I just don't know what the hell I'm doing.
Look at me.
That's okay.
Everything's changed Nothing's the same Maybe it's the sign of the times Everywhere I turn It's the blind leading the blind We make tears fall We let rivers rise You just gotta hold on I'm not leaving you behind Hold on, hold on I'm not leaving you behind Hold on, hold on I'm not leaving you behind What were you like as a kid? You know, it's funny.
I don't usually like to think about growing up.
My dad and I didn't get along too good.
- Really? - Yeah.
I mostly just tried to stay the hell out of his way.
That bad, huh? Yeah.
He'd hit me.
A lot actually.
It's funny, when you're a kid, part of you thinks it's normal, you know.
Yeah.
Most of you knows it's not.
Really, the hard part was never knowing what he was gonna be like when he came home at night.
That's scary.
Yeah, it could be.
But mostly, I just wanted to be with him really.
I mean, I didn't even care what we did.
Just sort of hang out.
Do whatever it is fathers and sons do.
Yeah, that's what a boy needs from his father, you know, to be a rock.
Loved, no matter what.
I know that's what you worry about with Jake.
Yes, I do.
You know, I always secretly wished I'd had a son.
Really? Yeah.
See what that feeling was like.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
You have been digging and that is not allowed.
I'm sorry.
What? You ate all the almond brittle! Well, that's the good part.
- What did you want me to do? - You are so bad.
Could I get that whole rack right there? And then I want the glazed.
And then the chocolate with bacon? - Yes.
- And the sprinkles, of course.
Of course, yes.
Great! Great! Bacon rainbow sprinkles for everyone! Yay! - Thanks, Jonah! - You're welcome.
This is so nice.
Well, you do have a pretty nice floor.
(CHUCKLES) When I was a little girl, I used to count the stars before bed.
It was the only way I could fall asleep.
Be nice if we could sleep outside together sometime.
Yeah.
Maybe by a river? Yeah.
We could count the stars together.
(SIGHS) Oh, Jessie.
I'm so sorry.
I'm afraid I might be broken somehow.
(SIGHS) Hey, baby.
Sorry I'm not a normal person.
You deserve a normal person in your life.
It's okay.
I'm used to you sort of.
You're wrong.
I do need you.
I need you more than anybody in the world.
I'm awake.
(CHUCKLES) How come your eyes are still closed? Because I'm tired.
What time is it? Oh, gosh, almost six.
Are you leaving? No.
I mean, I wasn't.
But, yeah, I am now.
I think I should go.
Yeah.
Sure.
You should.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'll call you.
Yeah.
Listen, Jessie, about last night - I don't want you to think that - You don't have to say anything.
I know that Rayna is a hell of an act to follow.
That's definitely not what I was gonna say at all.
Look, I get it.
You know, moving on is actually highly overrated, really.
Jessie But just so you know, I know that I'm not her.
And I'm never even gonna remotely be her.
- Jessie - She was larger than life.
And I can't compete with that.
That's not what I was gonna say.
I was gonna say that last night, I felt close to you.
That's something I never thought I was ever gonna feel again, ever.
- And I know I'm damaged - Right.
So you're gonna say you don't deserve me? Because if that's what you're gonna say, please just walk out the door and don't come back.
I was gonna say Please don't give up on me.
Really? Oh.
Okay, then.
Come here.
Thank you.
- Morning.
- Morning.
Did you have a good night? Yeah, I did.
Did you? Yeah.
I did.
- Yeah - Hello? - What are you doing here? - I live here.
Well, you okay? What happened? Cassie got food poisoning.
Thank God I didn't eat the chicken.
Anyways, her parents ended up taking her to Urgent Care.
So they dropped us all off.
Where were you guys? Uh, well, your sister was with - Jonah.
- Jonah.
And me, I was well, Jessie and I were visiting earlier.
Well, we decided Look what I got.
Mm, doughnuts, yeah.
(SIGHS) Juliette? Juliette? (CELL PHONE RINGS) JULIETTE: Hey, it's Juliette.
Leave a message and I'll call you back.
