"Previously on Nashville" "You and Deacon should go out on the road together..." "You and Deacon sleeping on the same tour bus?" "You want me to say I'm comfortable when I'm not?" "You know, we could do a whole lot more of this if you'd just come on tour with me." "You know I can't." "I'm going out with Rayna." "You gotta focus on what your future holds." "I saw these two kids singing at the Bluebird." "You get three songs together." "I'll cut the demo for you myself." "I think something about you makes me want to grow up." "I got a friend out there tonight, and I'd like to ask her to come up here and do a number with us." "Rayna James."

"That's probably not gonna happen." "He and Rayna all but launched their tour last night at the Bluebird." "Glenn, I want him, under contract." "An exclusive contract." "Okay, we're gonna make him another offer..." "an exclusive offer, but listen for a second." "I just got off the phone with the label." "Your mother showed up there." "What are you talking about?" "When?" "A little while ago." "She's looking for your address, your phone number." "I mean, nobody gave her any information, but..." "But what?" "They gave her 100 bucks to leave." "(Door opens)" "(Door closes)" "(Thud) My mother is a drug addict." "Nobody can give her anything, ever." "(Man) Miss Barnes, they are ready on set." "Okay." "You are my manager." "Deacon, my mom... (Whispers) Manage it." "Maddie, get down here right now!" "Your breakfast is getting cold." "It's yogurt, mom." "It's supposed to be cold." "Warm, then." "Baby, have you seen my tie?" "The one with the little u's on it?" "Maddie, now!" "Those are horseshoes, dad." "I knew that." "What do you need a tie for, honey?" "It's Joe." "Yeah, I guess you're right." "I have no idea what I'm gonna wear for the talent show." "Told you not to waste your allowance on jeggings." "Can we go to the mall?" "(Teddy) The mall?" "What do you need to go to the mall for?" "Didn't your mama just buy you a bunch of clothes?" "Brianna told me I needed to stop dressing like a sixth grader." "She said seventh graders show belly and side boob." "Side what the hell did you just say?" "That's a dollar." "You know what?" "No more side boob, no more ties." "We gotta go now." "All right." "Have a good day at school." "Love you." "Yours. (Cell phone rings)" "Oh, my phone." "Can you grab that for me, babe, please?" "(Ring) It's Deacon." "Oh." "Shoot." "Probably about the tour." "You know what?" "I'll take the girls." "(Ring)" "Joe gets here before me, just tell him I'll be right back." "Okay." "Hey." "Hey." "Is it a bad time?" "I can't really talk right now." "It's..." "I got the girls and..." "Oh." "Sorry."

"(Chuckles nervously)" "(Chuckles) W-we've got the meeting with Watty tomorrow." "Right." "Watty White." "Yep." "Hey, you killed it at the 5 spot the other night." "That guitar tone reminded me of Link Wray." "Thanks, man." "Well... good luck, then." "I'll just be, uh..." "In the bedroom." "I'll try not to bark." "(Chuckles)" "Well, I wish I had better news for you, but you're still digging out from the hit you took when Teddy's development went bust." "You add to that recent campaign costs and expenses you won't be able to recoup without the income from the bigger tour." "So bottom line, Joe." "Stop spending money." "Now at least the way you used to." "You're gonna have to cut your monthly nut in half, and if you don't, in a couple of months, you won't be able to cover it." "You got assets." "They're just not liquid." "Now another option is to borrow on the house." "You take out a line of credit." "That's a long shot." "Hey, look, I-I'm in the middle of a campaign." "How's that gonna look to voters?" "Lot better than declaring bankruptcy." "That's a joke." "Well, we won't be doing that." "(Bucky) Well... (Clears throat) I mean, there's this, and I hate to sound like a broken record about joining Juliette's tour... then don't be, Bucky." "No, Rayna, listen to me." "You are just as valuable to her as she is to you." "Alone, she can sell out one night at the garden." "Together, you sell out three." "Well, you know what?" "I'm just really interested in hearing our other options, Bucky." "Well, there's always borrowing money from your daddy." "Boy, y'all really need to get some new material." "Tea?" "What time again?" "Next time, can you make sure that you get the little individual cheeses?" "Like the square kind, not the big ol' block." "You mean the plastic, processed kind, right?" "I mean the good kind, okay?" "Baby?" "Jolene." "Oh, my God, baby, I'm so glad I found you." "Hey, hey, why don't you come talk to me for a second?" "How you doing?" "All right?" "(Jolene) Yeah." "I... yeah, I... (whispers) Come on." "Let's go." "I just wanna talk to my daughter." "I've come a really long way." "I wanna tell you things that's been going on." "(Jolene and Glenn speaking indistinctly)" "What do you wanna do?" "(Breathing heavily)" "Let's just go." "Let's get outta here." "(Engine revving)" "(Continues breathing heavily)" "♪" "All right, that's 14 solid tracks, but we still need to decide about the other six." "I'm not gonna lie." "I look pretty good." "Those whitening strips really worked." "All right, I talked to Bo." "We're upping your security team." "Hey, nothing about her schedule should be put in writing." "Just heard back from Deacon." "Can't commit to anything exclusive." "So given your terms, sounds like a "no."" "Do you even know me?" "The answer is never "no." (Dialing cell phone)" "Why do I pay you if I have to do everything myself?" "(Phone ringing)" "(Line clicks) This is Deacon." "Leave a message." "Deacon, it's me." "Uh, we're in the studio, and we're choosing tracks for the album, so if you want "undermine" on it, we really have to record it today." "(Singsongy) It's now or never." "Joe Cocker, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson... these people all really recorded right here." "(Watty) On this very spot." "My goodness." "Step a little closer." "A little closer." "Um..." "Thank you." "Here's your headphones." "Thank you." "(Guitar tuning)" "All right." "Let's make some music." "Just tell me when you're ready." "All right." "(Gunnar sighs)" "(Sighs)" "(Door closes)" "You nervous?" "I'm shaking like a leaf on a tree." "(Chuckles)" "(Drum beating)" "(Playing slow tempo tune)" "♪" "No." "Wait." "That was... uh..." "Uh, uh, I thought... it's all right." "Let's go again." "No problem. (Click)" "(Chuckles nervously)" "(Exhales deeply and chuckles)" "So we'll, uh, kick it off in Nashville at the Ryman, overnight on to Raleigh, then Richmond, D.C., Baltimore, Philly, two nights in New York at the beacon, and then Boston, Syracuse, Cleveland." "We end that run in louisville, start the Western run the following week." "So, uh, lot of overnights, long time away from home, long time for you to be away from the girls, for you." "Mm-hmm." "But on the upside, uh, we do have a brand-new bus, a nice master suite, and... and decent bunks, so... uh... (Clears throat) I guess that's about it." "You guys good?" "Mm-hmm." "Yeah, I'm good." "Okay, great." "Well, I will let you guys get back to your set list." "Thank you, buck." "Thanks, babe." "Yeah." "Well, I'll check in with you later, all right?" "Okay." "All right." "So, uh, that's actually pretty easy. (Door opens)" "I thought we'd just start by, you know, going deep... (Door closes)" "And starting with some of those early ones stripped down like, uh, "don't leave without me,"" ""that could be us."" "What if we were to just throw it on its ear with something... (Chuckles) Completely different." "Focus on the big songs, like "already gone" or "last stand," you know." "Um, I mean, yeah, we can do anything in any given song, but, you know, don't forget." "(Chuckles) It's just me and you up there." "We don't got no band." "Don't got any backup singers, so I just think we'd do better just doing the things like we did the other night and "no one will ever love you" type thing." "Mm-hmm." "It's just a much smaller venue, Ray." "You know?" "That quiet, intimate thing is what's gonna work." "You mean like at the Bluebird?" "Yeah." "I mean, that's what this is, you know." "Yeah, that's what this is." "You're freaking out a little bit?" "I think I might just need a little minute here." "I'll tell you what." "There's something I gotta go do right now anyway, so you go ahead." "You take your minute, and you take a little more..." "And go through that." "Just call me when you know what you wanna do." "(Clears throat)" "(Watty) Just take a deep breath." "Mm." "There's no rush." "I'm sorry." "It... it sounds like" "I'm hearing myself from across the room." "You'll get used to it." "I know."

"Let's you and I have a talk, okay?" "(George Jones' "just a girl I used to know" playing on radio)" "I think this one." "I think we can let this one go." "It's feeling a little tired." "Don't you think?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "But this is cute." "I think if we hemmed it." "That could still work." "I like that one." "I like it, yeah." "Me, too." "All right." "Oh, look at you."

"(Sighs) No, honestly, you didn't." "Watty just told me." "He's still gonna give our stuff to a publisher." "What?" "Really?" "H-how?" "He says he can just find somebody else to sing on the demo with me." "You'd record it with some other girl?" "Well, we're doing this to land a publishing deal." "It's about cutting our songs, Watty says it doesn't so much matter who's singing 'em." "Okay." "Is it?" "Well... yeah." "I mean, it's probably a whole lot better for me and Avery, and, um, well, you can just let me know if I need to do anything..." "If... if at all." "(Keys jangle)" "(Sighs deeply)" "Did you ask daddy for a loan?" "Of course I didn't ask him for a loan." "You think I'd do that?" "He does know our situation because I had to disclose my financial information." "Well, you know, you've gotta read this thing." "It says I can't release a new record unless it's a "best of."" "I can't tour until after your election, unless you win, in which case I can't go out on tour until the second half of your term, unless you're running for re-election, which means that that year my tour dates" "have to be limited to no more than 15 venues." "That's it?" "We're dealing with a crazy person." "Mm-hmm." "Clearly, it's not feasible." "You know, honey, just do yourself a favor." "Tear up the check." "It'll make you feel a lot better." "You know, maybe you should just talk to Billy about getting a loan against the house." "I mean, you were on the board of the credit union for years." "That's gotta count for something." "Yeah, I can try, but you heard what Joe said." "It's gonna be a long shot." "Well, if anybody can pull strings," "Billy can pull strings." "I'll go talk to him with you if you want." "Well, no."

"(Crickets chirping)" "(Sighs)" "What you thinkin' 'bout?" "I was wondering how this keeps happening." "(Both laugh)" "That's 'cause I'm irresistible." "Oh, is that it?" "Yeah." "That's it. (Laughs)" "Although it didn't help me much at the Bluebird." "What?" "I've always wanted to sing there." "The other night..." "Why'd you call Rayna up instead of me?" "(Sighs)" "I didn't do it to hurt you." "No, I..." "It didn't hurt me." "It's..." "Sometimes..." "I'd like to be that girl worth choosing, so..." "Hey." "I'm here now." "I don't mean this." "I mean my music." "If you thought of me in the same league as Rayna, you'd go on tour with me." "Y'all keep saying "exclusive."" "That's like dating equivalent of... goin' steady or... (Scoffs) Okay, and what's wrong with that?" "Are we going steady?" "Oh, come on." "Just think about it." "(Chuckles)" "Think about how good it would be to just leave everything here behind." "I mean, we'd be out on the road and playing for sold out venues." "Screaming fans. (Chuckles)" "And then when we weren't, we could be writing songs." "I mean..." "That song today..."

"I had a conversation with Tandy, and she told me about mom." "(Clock ticking)" "And her affair." "And I wish I had known." "I wish you had told me." "Now what is there to talk about?" "What is the point?" "Well, the point is that you disappeared." "As soon as mama died, you were gone." "You were out the door." "You were off on some business trip, or you were overseas, anywhere but at home." "You've been absent my whole life except for being just furious at me for the choices that I've made, for the road that I've gone down." "You have never been supportive, and I have never understood why." "Unless I'm mistaken," "I did pay for your first record, didn't I?" "I mean, some people might call that supportive." "I never knew that you did that." "You told me about it 20 years later." "Rayna..." "You are still my daughter, and believe it or not, I care about your happiness." "I only wish you didn't put it ahead of your own family's." "That's a similarity that you seem to unfortunately have inherited from your mother." "You've proven to have the same disregard for your marriage that she did for ours." "I am so sorry that she hurt you, daddy." "But I have to say, if you... treated her the way you've treated me..." "I don't see how she would have had any choice but to do what she did." "(Scoffs)" "Thanks for this reminder." "I'd never take a penny from you." "(Birds chirping)" "(Buzzes) (Sighs)" "(Click) What?"

"Teddy freakin' Conrad." "Future mayor of Nashville." "Well, that's the plan." "(Chuckles)" "How the hell have you been?" "I'm doing all right." "You're looking good." "(Sighs) So how's Elaine?" "Fourth time's a charm." "Oh, I'm glad to hear it." "Yeah?" "Rayna and the girls..." "they good?" "Fantastic." "Growing like weeds." "You know how that goes." "Yeah." "So... what can I do for you, my man?" "Well..." "I'd like to look into taking out a line of credit." "Campaigns... you know, they can suck you dry." "Gotta warn you, qualifying these days... bigger bitch than my third wife." "But I'll do what I can, huh?" "Appreciate that." "Only thing... we're, uh, we're backlogged a little." "Our friends, the feds, decided to waste everyone's time with an audit." "An audit?" "Mm-hmm." "Wow." "How far back?" "All the way back to '08." "You remember the good old days." "The good old days." "Yeah." "For you, maybe." "(Chuckles)" "So let's get you started on some paperwork." "Listen, I..." "I hate to waste your time, but, uh, now that I'm thinking about it," "I should probably talk to Rayna first." "'Nuff said." "I'm here when you're ready." "I appreciate that." "I'll give you a shout." "Well, I hope you'll be hungry for the same thing" "I've made every night this week." "You know what?" "Forget dinner." "What?" "Come on. (Giggles) What are you doing?" "Stop it." "Stand right there." "What?" "This." "Just stand there." "Sing to me." "No." "Come on." "No." "In the middle of the living room with a whisk." "You gone crazy?" "No crazier than Watty White thinking anyone but you should be singing on that demo." "You've been talking to Gunnar?" "He may have mentioned it in passing." "All right." "(Sighs) The water is boiling." "I don't care." "Let it boil." "No." "Would you please stop?" "Don't make me do this." "It was horrible." "I was horrible." "That's not possible." "No, awful." "Ask Gunnar." "Everybody was staring." "That's what people do, Scarlett." "They stare." "I mean, everyone was staring at you at the Bluebird, and you did just fine." "Oh, this felt completely different." "I was standing on the spot where everybody who is anybody has recorded, and I'm thinking, what..." "what am I doing here?" "I don't belong here." "Who..." "who am I to get to stand here and try to do this?" "That... that's your first mistake right there." "This isn't about you." "Look, the songs came from you." "But getting 'em out there... that's about somethin' bigger." "It's... it's a piece of you that you're, like, obligated to share." "Baby, you've gotta take the pressure off." "All you are is the way the music gets heard." "Now come on." "Just forget everyone else." "Imagine it's just you and me in that studio." "Hell, I'll even be there if you want." "Now come on." "Forget about doing it for yourself." "Do it for me." "Hmm." "(Exhales)" "So the good news is Deacon's got the contract." "All right." "And what's the bad news?" "Uh... the bad news is that your mom got picked up downtown near the bus depot." "Apparently, she got into some kind of altercation, stole some food." "I don't know." "They found a handful of oxy on her." "Now look, I know that this is probably the last place that you want her, but until we can figure out a way to either get her into rehab or ship her back to Alabama," "I feel like she's gonna cause a lot more trouble out there than she could in here." "I'm not avoiding you." "I just don't know what to say." "It's my fault." "I don't know why I'm forcing you to say it in the first place." "Say what?" "Why don't you say it?" "(Sighs)" "The only thing you can say, Ray." "That it's all over." "(Birds chirping)" "(Sighs)" "I feel like that's what I need to be saying, you know?" "I need to..." "Be letting you go, move on with your life." "Go do that damn tour if you want to." "You know, whatever." "I'm just..." "So why don't you, Ray?" "(Voice breaking) Because you and music..." "There's no difference, you know." "It's the same." "And I feel like I'm holding these hearts in my hands, and I'm trying real hard not to break 'em." "But my heart's in pieces." "And I'm trying to do the right thing, but none of it feels right to me." "Okay." "I'm gonna go now."

"I'm not that guy." "Well, I hope she's worth what you're giving up."
