" She was Charlie Wentworth's idea." " Right." "Actually, I would have had you headline, but..." " Look... dad got me an all-access pass." " That's right." "We've got over 50 acts performing." "She's gonna have plenty to keep herself busy." "Oh, well, I know Scarlett's gonna be there." " Yep." "Right." "We're glad to have her." " Yeah, I know." "Thank you for making space for her." "My pleasure." "You ready, hon?" "Uh, actually..." "Since you two are together for once..." "Um... (Clears throat)" "Can I take guitar lessons with Deacon?" "I asked him, and he told me to ask you." "Wait, wait, wait, you've been talking to him?" "Um... yeah." "Okay, your mother and I need to talk about this in private." "(Man speaks indistinctly) (Cell phone rings)" "(Man speaks indistinctly)" "Excuse me." "Sorry." "(Ring)" "(Ring) (Man over p.A.) Check." "Check." "(Beep) Check one, two." "One, two, check." "Let me guess, you are..." "Separating checks?" "Hey, you know, I could stop calling you every night." "Oh, you know, I kinda like talking to you. (Chuckles)" "(Man speaks indistinctly)" "(Cell phone rings and beeps) (Sighs)" "Hey." "How are you?" "Where are you?" "(Scarlett) Uh, Tulsa." "And headed to St. Louis tomorrow." "I think I have a free day, so I'm gonna go explore." " You okay?" " Yeah, yeah, I just miss everybody." "I haven't heard from Zoey in ages." "Uh, I'd put her on, but she's already talking to someone." "(Gunnar) Is that Avery I can hear?" " (Chuckles) Weird." " Yeah." "Yes, it is." "Well, can you tell her to stop calling everybody else and call her friend back, please?" "I'll do you one better." "St. Louis is, what, a 5-hour drive?" "How about I kidnap Zoey, and we'll come see you tomorrow?" "Oh, my God." "That would be awesome." "Put me on speakerphone." "(Chuckles) Okay." "(Beep)" "All right." "Here you go." "That would be awesome!" "(Chuckles)" "(Chuckles) Okay, this is seriously weird." "A road trip to St. Louis?" "Tomorrow?" "(Scarlett) Zoey, come on." "Please?" "Uh, yeah, yeah, sure." "Sure, come." "Okay." "Why not?" "Sounds cool." "Okay, done." "I'll pick you up around 8:00." "(Avery) All right, see you there around noon." "(Gunnar) Uh, I guess I'll see you there tomorrow." " Yeah, tomorrow." " All right." "Bye." "(Beep)" "(Teddy) Are you saying you approve?" "I don't..." "I don't know." "I don't know how I feel about it." "But..." "You know, it doesn't seem like an unreasonable request." "They have a musical connection." "O-okay." "Rayna, don't pull that DNA crap with me." "He is never gonna be her parent." "Listen, nobody is trying to replace you here." "But it doesn't seem to make much sense to me to try to keep 'em apart forever either." "(Cell phone rings) Let me just make sure that's not about Daphne." "(Ring) Hello?"

"(Sighs) I wouldn't have asked you to come here" " if it wasn't important." " I understand." "I mean, the last thing I want is for you and the girls to even think about all this, much less see it." "That's why I haven't wanted you to come and visit me." "How you holding up?" "(Buzzer sounds) Not real well." "Look, uh..." "My attorneys are trying to arrange for house arrest." "They've scheduled a hearing, but..." "I need character witnesses to testify that I'm not a flight risk." "I-I wouldn't expect you to appear." "My goodness, honey, you've been through enough." "It is your sister who knows me best." "She worked for me, she understands better than anyone what I did or didn't do." "I just haven't been able to reach her." "So you want me to ask her for you?"

" Uh, I've got a really quick rehearsal" "I have to go to." "I just got to fix my monitors." "But I'll be done really soon." "You guys must be exhausted."

" (Zoey) Thank you." " All right." "So how was he?" "He's terrible." "He looks..." "Awful." "Said he hadn't heard from you." "Apparently, they're trying to get him out on house arrest, but they need a character witness to show up at his bail hearing." "So did he ask you to do it?" "No, he asked me to ask you to do it..." " Oh." " Which was, frankly, a relief to me." "Considering I don't exactly have the loving relationship with him that you do." "Well, I'm not exactly champing at the bit to defend him..." "At least not publicly." "And there's gonna be so much press there." "I'm just so torn about all of it..." "Everything with him, you know?" "But I hate the idea of him sitting in that jail for who knows how long." "We don't know when this thing is going to trial." "He's not getting any younger." "So you think I should do it?" "I don't know." "I think maybe you should think about it." "What are you gonna do?" "Are you gonna support him?" "I think that's what I need to think about." "Yeah." "(Layla) I hope he's gonna be okay." "We, uh..." "We were supposed to do an interview this morning." "Not anymore." "The label canceled it." "(Knock on door)" "Could you get that for me?" "Of course." "It's just bruising." "Should be fine." "So I'm clear to perform?" "No guitar windmills, but otherwise, you're good to go." "(Bag handle clatters) Thank you." "So... what happened exactly?" "After-party just got a little out of hand." "He dove off the bar." "She's not even supposed to be at the bar." "I was worried about you." "I'm your girlfriend." "That's..." "That's what we do. (Chuckles)" "But, you know, if..." "If you don't care about me caring about you anymore, then, uh..." "Maybe this whole thing is pointless." "Been getting into quite a bit of trouble lately." "We got reports that you got into a fistfight in Houston?" " True?" " Well..." "Edgehill wants a star." "I'm just trying to live the life." "The label would like you to stay alive long enough to record an album." "So I get to be your constant companion from here on out." "You are just loving this, aren't you?" "Just doing my job." "You sure about that?" "Fix things with Layla. (Scoffs)" "(Knock on door) Come in!" "(Door opens)" "I lost the paparazzi in Chicago." "Are you sure?" "Because I have an image that I have worked very hard to repair, and the last thing I need to add to the list" " is "home wrecker."" " Okay, as far as anyone is concerned," "I'm here on official business." "So I promise you, you're my little secret." "(Whispers) What are we doing?" " Moving on with our lives together?" " (Normal voice) And to be with me, you're just gonna leave behind half your fortune?" "Okay, you need to stop reading the tabloids, 'cause Olivia and I have a prenup." "I still have plenty of money." "I... have money, too." " Okay?" "I don't care about your money." " Yes." "Yes, I know." "And you've earned it." "Do you realize how special you are?"

" No." "This is..." "This is her thing." "Uh, what time should I come back..." " An hour?" " Uh, yeah, I guess so." "Yeah. (Chuckles)" "Just figuring it all out." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah." "I'm ready. (Chuckles)" "(Chuckles)" "(Door opens) Hey!" "I didn't expect to see you home so soon." "Yeah, well, I changed my mind." "I didn't feel like running, okay?" "(Cell phone clatters)" " Okay." " I'm sorry." "I'm just in a crap mood." "That's all right." "I've been in one all week." "(Sighs) Feelin' okay?" "Can I get you anything?" "I'm fine." "I guess this is just how it happens, you know?" "I mean, one day you feel this... (Sighs) Magic, and then..." "It's just gone." "It's like it never happened." "Hey..." "listen." "It did happen." "And you are gonna feel that magic again." "I promise. (Chuckles)" "Why are you in such a bad mood?" "Oh... (Scoffs)" "It's this thing with Maddie." "She wants to take guitar lessons from Deacon Claybourne." "I can understand why that would bother you." " Mm-hmm." " I mean, he almost got her mother killed." " Exactly." " Listen... (Clears throat)" "Forget about him." "Today is about you watching your daughter perform, right?" " Right." " Getting to be the proud papa that you are." "Damn right. (Chuckles)" "This is the lounge." "So what do you think?" "Wow, this is awesome." " (Chuckles) Right?" " Hey..." "Pinball." "I guess Luke likes to be comfortable on the road." "(Bell dings, handle clicks) So you and Scarlett?" "Yeah." "Yeah, it just, uh, kinda happened, I guess." "(Flappers clattering) Cool." "(Frankie Ballard) ♪ bad times make the good times better ♪" " Restroom?" " Uh, it's... it's on the right." "♪ And you're gone forever" "(pinball machine continues clattering)" "(Bell dinging) Hi." "You didn't seem very excited about me coming." "I'm totally excited." "The situation is a little weird." "You never told me about Scarlett and Avery." "I mean, I didn't... know if they were a thing." "I mean, honestly, I don't know if we're a thing." "(Lowered voice) It is a thing for me, all right?"

"(Chuckles) (Chuckles)" "Don't they say that's all you need to write a song?" ""Three chords and the truth," that's what they say, yeah." "(Strums chords)" "You know, I listen to your album a lot. (Stops playing)" "It's really good." "(Continues strumming) Oh, it's really old. (Chuckles)" "(Chuckles) Like..." "like me." "Why didn't you make another one?" "(Chuckles) Ah, I don't know." "You know, I..." "I started playing for your mom... (Chuckles) And, uh..." "I might do another one..." "Now, you know?" "I actually just found out I'm gonna be playin'" " in that festival." "I got a spot there." " That's so awesome." " Is it?" " Yes." " That's so great." " Yeah, well..." "Uh, it's just a few songs in the little tent there, nothing big." " I'm playing one song..." " Where?" " At an open mic for kids." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah, at Two Old Hippies." " Really?" "It would be really awesome if you could come." "I mean, uh..." "You are my guitar teacher." "It's 30 minutes and out." " Ugh, what a waste." " I'm sorry?" "Layla expanded her set last night, and our managers have to do a little dance around each other so she won't do it again." "Like that's gonna fix anything." "So, uh, what are you gonna do?" "Well, I wanna bitch-slap her, but that's probably not very good for business, is it, Mr. fortune 500?" "Oh, I don't know." "I've never been, uh, beyond a little bitch-slapping every now and again." " Mr. wentworth, hi!" " Hey." " What are you doing here?" " I, um," " I came to see the festival promo shoot." " Oh, right." "I was really sorry to hear about your divorce." "Aren't you just a font of empathy?" "I was thinking about our show, and I think it's better to have a boy" " in between two girls." " What?" " I'm flipping your and Will's sets." " (Sighs) Right." "Um..." "Juliette, I'm..." "I'm really sorry that I went over last night." "I... (Sighs)" "I'm sure you understand." "I just got..." "Overwhelmed by it all." "Of course." "You're probably just overtired, which is why this will get you home safe and sound for your curfew." "Think she understood that?" "(Chuckles)" "Hey, Layla." "There you are." "You just come over to gloat?" "No." "About what?" "Juliette flipped our sets." "Well, I'm sorry." "Why?" "It's good for you." "Don't pretend to be bummed on my behalf." "I'm not." "I'm..." "Yeah, I'm happy to be able to play for more people, but I'm sorry you got screwed in the process." "And..." "(Chuckles) I'm sorry about last night." "I've been a jackass." "I know how you can make it up to me." "I'm not sure I can keep doing this." "It's so hard not being able to talk to my sister." "I just feel like I'm losing my way here, with all the lying and the avoiding. (Chuckles)" "Tandy... you're doing the right thing." "My father's 65 years old, and he is not doing well." "Maybe I should just let God be his judge and jury." "Are you telling me this because you are actually considering making a court appearance on his behalf?" "After everything you know he's done." "Because if you do, we will have no choice but to expose you as our star witness." "Your father represents a real danger to his enemies." "Are you willing to risk that just so he can enjoy the comforts of home?" "(Door opens)" "What?" "(Door closes) I was handling the Layla situation." "Not fast enough." "Well, now she's doing a duet with will tonight..." "His last song." "Her manager just told me." "That little snake." "She's a 19-year-old kid." "She's gonna do 19-year-old stuff sometimes." "Do you work for... her, or you work for me?" "This isn't personal." "I talk to the manager." "The manager talks to Layla." "That's just how it works." "You know this." "Sometimes you gotta go right to the source and talk to them in a language that they understand." "(Scoffs) What, you heard that from Charlie?" "Charlie has nothing to do with running my business." "No, he doesn't." "But, you know, he does have a way of bringing out the worst in you." "When I came back, I thought you'd grown up a little bit." "What, am I supposed to... feel bad because you're disappointed?" "Why don't you just go work for Layla?" "She's the appropriate age for a disapproving daddy." "(Under breath) For God sake." "(Door opens and slams shut)" " Hey!" " Oh, my God." " Parking is a nightmare, isn't it?" "(Kisses)" " Um..." " We saved you a spot up front. (Chuckles)" " Oh... good." "That way Maddie only has to look one place to see her family." " Good thinking." " Yeah." " Hi." " She's, uh, I think she's a little nervous." "Oh." "She'll be okay. (Chuckles)" " What's he doing here?" " (Man, amplified voice) Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Two Old Hippies..." "Home of peace, love, and rock 'n roll." "Beautiful Sunday, and we've got a great kids open mic for y'all today." "Seriously?" "This looks good enough to you?" "Hey, Juliette." "Just wanted to let you know" " that those, uh, promos look great." " Get out." "Y'all, not him." "Oh." "Where's my happy girl?" "(Door closes)" "Gettin' a stiff neck from lookin' over my shoulder." "You should drop that." "Layla's just a pale imitation." "At least somebody agrees with me." "Right, well, who doesn't?" "The label." "Her manager, my manager." "Okay, come here." "Now what are you?" "(Chuckles) Special." "Right, exactly." "So that means you can do what you want... (Kissing)" " When you want to..." " Hmm." "And for as long as you want." "I've got to go to DC for a meeting." "So I'll see you tomorrow?" "I'll be at home in Nashville." "All right." "So I'll be there, too." "You can tell me all about how you dealt with your annoying little problem." " Oh, I'll deal with it." " Mm-hmm." "Mm-hmm." "Next up, ladies and gentlemen..." "Maddie Conrad." "(Cheering) (Teddy and Rayna) Whoo!" "(Amplified voice) Sorry, uh..." "I'm really not used to singing alone." "My sister usually does it with me." "The song I'm gonna sing is not one that I wrote, but it is very, very important to me." "Would it be okay if I had someone up?" "(Man) Yeah, no problem." "So this one's called "A Life That's Good."" "Deacon?" " What the hell is going on here?" " I-I don't know."

"You think you can just swoop in here and dazzle her with this music crap?" "What happened to you telling me that you were "never cut out to be a father,"" " that I was her father, plain and simple?" " You said I had responsibilities, right?" "Yeah, not to perform with her publicly." "That wasn't my choice." "Oh, right." "Like you had no influence over that..." "She asked me." "You were there." "You saw it!" "Hey, you need to know something." " What?" " Rayna and I have no interest" " in co-parenting with you, you got that?" " I never said I wanted to co..." "And I don't care that you're sober." " What is your damn problem?" " You know what my problem is?" "My problem is that your ass should still be in jail for all the damage you've done to my family."

"And I'd like to do one more song for you." "But in order to do it," "I'm gonna need the help of a very special friend of mine." "(Footsteps approach) You're sittin' this one out."

"Me." " I have rights." " Yes." " Right?" " Mm-hmm." "Right." "Whether he likes it or not, too." "I've been playin' real good," "I've been staying in my lane and everything." "But if he's gonna pull crap like this... (Sighs)" " There's steps I can take, aren't there?" " Yes." "You can go to court, establish legal paternity." "I'm not trying to get custody, nothin' like that." "I'm not tryin' to be some other parent." "I just... if Maddie wants things from me," "I want her to be able to get 'em, all right?" "If she wants to see me..." "He sure as hell ain't gonna stop it." "Look..." "I know that you're pissed at Teddy," " and you have every right to be." " Yeah." "You have to understand what it is you're talking about here." "Are you ready to be a permanent part of Maddie's life?" "This was supposed to be a great day." "Instead it was awful." "I'm sorry." "And you sang so beautifully." "That doesn't even matter anymore." "(Sighs)" "When I'm with Deacon, dad gets so upset." "When I'm with dad, well, obviously, Deacon hates him." "So..." " I don't think it's about hate." " Well, I hate it..." "All of it." "Maybe I just shouldn't see either of them anymore." "I think that'd be a real shame." "They both do love you so much." "And if they loved me..." "They would not act that way." "Well, funny thing about people is..." "They make a lot of mistakes..." "That can end up hurting the people around 'em." "And what I've grown to realize is it doesn't mean they love you any less." "It really doesn't feel that way." "Hey, I've been on a treadmill for an hour, and what it comes down to is if we really are a thing, we have to tell Scarlett." "Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing." "She's my best friend." "I feel sick." "So how do we do it..." " Together?" " No, I think I have to do it by myself." "Trust me, it'll be better that way." "You gonna do it now?" " (Whispers) Yeah." " (Whispers) Okay." "Now it is. (Chuckles)" "(Breathing heavily)" "(Cheers and applause)" "And that is how it's done." "What?" "Oh, come on." "She started it." "I had no idea that was gonna happen, all right?" "I thought Layla was coming out there," " and I..." " I know." "Imagine it's tough to juggle a diva and a diva in training." "Damn near impossible." "You know, I never know which version of you I'm gonna get." "You're all business, or you're..." "A sympathetic friend." "I'm both." "I'm-a go see how my girlfriend's doing." "♪" "(Door closes)" "Hey." "Did you just work out for two hours?" "I was just thinking through some stuff." "Maybe I should try that." "It might help." "(Sighs)" " With what?" " I feel so awkward on this tour." "Gunnar's making friends with everything that moves, and I'm, like, this stranger everywhere we stop, everywhere we go." "And now you're all here..." "You don't feel like you belong with us either?" "I don't know." "I get it." "I mean, that's exactly how I felt when I first moved to Nashville." "It didn't matter how nice you all were to me," "I still felt like I was alone." "You're just on your own for the first time in your life." "Have you been crying yourself to sleep ever night and not telling anyone?" "I did that for, like, three weeks," " even with you sleeping on the sofa." " Oh." "But I promise, it's gonna get better." "Thank you. (Exhales deeply)" "I'm so glad you're my friend." "I don't know what I'd do without you." "(Ice cubes clinking)" "♪" "What, are you gonna shun me, too?" "I just made your career tonight, okay, kiddo?" "Hey, I've learned it's best not to piss off a powerful woman." "(Chair scrapes floor) And certainly not two of 'em." "What does everybody see in her?" "Everyone just thinks she is so perfect" " and... sweet." " Manipulative." "Yes. (Glass clatters)" "What are you doing with her?" "I mean, with your whole laid-back, aw-shucks cowboy thing, I figured you had a line of girls after every show." "But they probably wouldn't help you trend on Twitter, now would they?" "You think that's what I want..." "Some stupid #laylanwill hashtag?" "I want to kill it as a country singer." "If she helps me get there... (Chuckles) You don't even like her." "Well, maybe someday..." "If I'm lucky..." "You know, I'll..." "I'll find someone who makes me feel like the best version of myself." "(Exhales)" "The best version of yourself, huh?" "(Man) He's a man of high moral standards, and I stand by him fully." "(Woman) Thank you." "You may step down." "Are there any other witnesses the defense would like to submit?" "We were hoping for one more, your honor." " If we could have a few minutes..." " I have a very tight docket, counsel." "We can't wait on anyone." " So after considering all these factors..." " I'm here..." "Your honor." "I can't speak to my father's business dealings or to his reputation in the financial community, but I do think I can speak to the issue of whether or not he's a flight risk." "He is not." "My father values his family more than anything, and I know he wants to be home to be with us." "He wouldn't do anything to compromise that." "Now my father and I have disagreed over a lot over the years, but..." "I've never doubted his commitment to family" " and to the city." " Thank you." "You may step down." "Okay." "After considering all the factors, the court denies the defendant's application for house arrest. (Gallery murmuring)" "The defendant is remanded to the custody of the federal penitentiary." "Next case. (Chair squeaks)" "(Murmuring)" "(Dialing)" "(Line rings) Hey, it's Avery." "Leave a message." "(Beeps) Hey, Avery, it's me." "Uh, I was just calling because..." "I am coming back to Nashville for the music festival, and, uh..." "Wanted to see if you were gonna be around." "So give me a call." "(Clicks tongue)" "(Receiver clatters)" "(Cell phone alert chimes)" "(Scarlett) Hey." "This is for you..." "For the road." "Thank you." "Listen, Scarlett, I'm sorry you're feeling like things aren't great out here." "And if I wasn't being helpful..." "I wasn't very articulate." "(Bell dings in distance)" "Thank you for comin' here to see me." "Hey, where's Zoey?" "We gotta get going." "You know what?" "She always takes forever." "(Chuckles) I'll go get her for you." "Hold on." "(Elevator bell dings)" "(Rayna) I appreciate y'all coming." "How's Maddie doing?" "It wasn't great for her to see y'all like that, fighting." "I wasn't fighting." "I was minding my own business." "Minding your own business, when you show up" " at our daughter's event?" " Yeah, our daughter." "That's right." " See, I'm a part of this..." " Hey, hey, hey!" "She said to me that she thinks it might be a good idea for her not to have a relationship with either one of you." "And I think that would not only be a mistake, that would be a loss." "I spent my whole life estranged from my father." "Not gonna let that happen to her." "And I don't know how we do it, but I know she loves you, Teddy, and she loves you, Deacon." "Don't give her a reason to shut out the two most important men in her life." "(Sighs)" "Hey." "(Kisses)" "You miss me?" "We have to talk." "(Typing)" "(Purse thuds)" "I'm sorry." "(Alcohol pouring) It was pretty awful." "(Sets down bottle) Yeah." "I don't think the judge would have agreed to it, even if I had appeared." "What the hell happened between you and daddy, 'cause y'all used to be thick as thieves, and now you're not." "I realized that I didn't know him as well as I thought I did." "I just need to keep my distance from him for a little while." "Good night." "It's in proverbs..." "Isn't it, Albert..." "Where it says that, uh..." ""Anyone who lives without blame walks safely"?" "And those who are to blame..." "I'd imagine, they'd best be careful." "Hi, Tessa." "It's mayor Conrad." "I need you to do me a favor." "Pull Deacon Claybourne's name from the list of performers." "Yeah, unfortunately, he's not gonna be able to make it." "Okay, thank you." "(Receiver clatters)" "(Exhales)" "The night of your anniversary party," "I watched you and Olivia." "And you would always put your hand on the small of her back, and she would smile at you when you did." "That was just keeping up appearances, wasn't it?" "Let me finish." "Look, I would be lying if I said that..." "I didn't wish that I could trade places with her that night." "But then you kissed me, and..." "It didn't mean anything..." "Until you didn't let up." " Because I love you." " No, that's the thing." "You don't love me." "You don't." "You like the challenge of me, the rush, but..." "Love is... wanting to help somebody be the best version of themselves." "And I don't do that for you." "(Sniffs)" "(Exhales and whispers) Wow." "Get back together with Olivia. (Scoffs)" "She'll forgive you." "She'll take you back, and it'll be like none of this ever happened." "(Sighs) Well, if that's the way you want it." "We should just be glad that we figured this out before we told the world about it." "(Whispers) Yep." "(Door closes) Thanks for letting me stay here." "(Switch clicks) So sick of hotels and room service." "(Door closes) Yeah, well, you're in luck." "We offer very little in the way of food here." "(Chuckles)" "(Bag thuds)" "(Chuckles)" "(Button snaps)" "Hey, what do you think of Juliette?" "(Snap)" "I think she's all right." "Well, I think she's a bitch." "I'm-a take a shower." "(Switch clicks)" "(Door closes)" " (Woman) Tmz?" " Hello?" "Hi." "Yeah, you got a tip?" "Yes, hi." "You don't know me, but I have some information that I think you might find useful." "Well, would you like to know why Charlie and Olivia Wentworth split up?" "Two words..." "Juliette Barnes."
