05x05 - Love Hurts

Previously on "Nashville"...

What's all this?

This didn't even come through the mail.

It didn't have a stamp on it or anything.

Which means they were here.

Randall has just come on to help us with our marketing and social media.

Oh, no, no.

Hey!

What's your name?

Maddie.

If you will let me, I think could help Highway 65 flourish.

I got the perfect director for you.

It's a visual love letter to a woman so electric and alive, she can't be contained.

Riverwood.

I used to come here when I was a kid.

When I heard your pitch, I knew this would be the perfect place to sh**t the video.

It's even more perfect than I imagined, so thank you.

No, I'm so thrilled you were available.

Well, it's all this guy.

(laughs)

But you should probably hold off thanking or blaming him until I've completed the job.

Damien is being criminally modest.

Well, I appreciate it. It's a big favor.

Rayna, it only took one listen to the Exes for this to stop being a favor.

My only worry since has been about doing justice to the material.

I'm confident that you will.

Hey, how are you two doing?

You need anything?

My name's Scott... Gunnar Scott.

(chuckles) Perfect.

Wow.

Feels a little bit more like a slip than a dress.

Here. Let me get a picture for Damien anyway...

Uh...

No need. Lay it on me.

You can see my everything through it.

We're telling the story of a woman who's wild.

Who acts our her daydreams and her mood swings upon the world, because she has absolutely no filter between what's in there and what's out here.

She works her way inside this man like heroine rewires the brain.

I got no idea what that's got to do with this dress.

Because it's stunning. And it speaks to the character.

Trust me. You look radiant.

Just lose these bits, and lower the neckline, and then we'll be good to go.

Okay.

Here's Damien's long form.

This locks in our production insurance.

Crew wants double pay for overtime.

Wow. It's time and a half for the first two hours.

And then double time for the...

Umm...

Everything okay?

Where's Randall?

He's out sick.

(music playing)

♪ You asked me to give up the hand of the girl I love ♪

Who is this?

It's Arthur Alexander.

Only songwriter to be covered by the Beatles, the Stones and Dylan.

Still nobody has heard of him.

I like it.

I'll make you a mix.

Now this cut, it charted as R&B.

But if you cut out those gospel harmonies and focus in on the twangy guitar line...

It's a country song.

Wow, okay, it's almost like you know something about this.

(chuckles) Yeah, um.... as crazy as it sounds, I actually knew something before you came along.

Well, you know, where you got to go listen to music is...

Joe's.

What's that?

(chuckles) For real?

Oh, my God, I get it.

I am sheltered and uncultured.

Now stop saying that!

Okay, okay.

(sighs)

It's probably not the best place for a girl like you anyway.

That's not fair.

What's not fair?

If there's good music, I wanna go.

Okay.

You're gonna love this place.

Ladies and gents, we have been graced with the presence of a very special guest this evening.

No, no, no, no.

I see you, come on!

Yes, yes, yes.

Our very own itinerant poet laureate.

Give it up for Clayton Carter.

All right, this is a song called "Before You".

Now you guys know it, all right?

What is this?

It's okay. Come on.

This is where the old Dixie Tabernacle used to be.

This big revival church.

That the Opry moved into when it got too big for the Hillsboro, but before it moved into the w*r Memorial Auditorium.

Well, you know the story of the Opry's first super star?

Uh, well, you want me to say it was Roy Acuff or Bill Monroe, but only so you can tell me I'm wrong.

DeFord Bailey, this pint-sized black dude who played the meanest harmonica that ever was.

I mean, radio audiences went crazy for him, but... that was because they didn't know what they couldn't see.

When the Opry started touring, it became a problem.

Band used to sneak him up into their hotel rooms in a big suitcase.

(both chuckle)

I'm not kidding.

The Opry ended up f*ring him.

Man worked the whole rest of his life as a shoe shine.

Why do you like all this history so much?

I was, um...

I was a bit wild, when I first went to live with my mom's folks.

So, my grandpa, he got it in his head that teaching me to play the guitar could...

I dunno, instill some discipline or something.

On account of how things went down with my mom.

Pops, music... it was kind of like my only fixed points for a while.

I should get you home.

What? You are still under age.

Really?

And it is illegal, the last time I checked.

(scoffs) Okay, right. And us trespassing.

It's totally legal.

Hey... don't make this harder than it already is.

Come on. I'll take you home.

Cut!

What's up?

I feel really weird.

Why is that?

Um, maybe it would help if I knew why I was doing what I'm doing.

Each of us has two masters.

One is cool and rational, you know.

You do X to get Y, etc., etc...

Then the other is darker, pleasure seeking, destructive.

So what you're doing is you're transgressing for no other reason than because you get off on it.

I'm trying. I promise you I'm trying.

So how's this?

What would you do to people if there were no consequences?

Probably the same thing I do now, honestly.

I think you can dig deeper than that.

Find the thrill in it, okay?

Okay.

Okay. So going again.

Let's reset!

All right, guys. Here we go.

You, uh, you wanted to see me?

Yeah, come in, Randall. Have a seat.

We were hoping that you could explain this.

(crying)

So you did take it?

I'm so sorry.

I just wanted something that was special to her.

And the letters and the flowers?

You thought you were in love with her? So you sent her a bunch of letters.

You sent her flowers, right?

I don't understand.

I just wanted a souvenir for my mom.

I swear, she's your biggest fan.

And I just wanted her to think that... we were friends.

So you didn't send me anything?

Why would I send you anything?

I stole. I'm so ashamed.

Miss Jaymes, if I could take it back...

I'm so sorry.

I'm gonna say a sentence, Randall.

And I want you to write it down, okay?

Okay.

All right.

"Their friends are sitting over there."

Wait outside for a second, please?

It's not him.

Uh-uh.

Handwriting's different.

Plus, our guy could not get his their, they're and there straight to save his life.

Aren't you the budding detective?

Yeah. I missed my calling.

Want me to report a theft?

What? For that? No.

I don't think he should work here anymore, though.

Agreed.

This is freaking me out, Bucky.

I mean, that one we got yesterday?

That was creepy.

How many is it now?

Four or five.

I mean, this guy's not going away.

He's scaring the hell out of me.

I mean, I feel completely exposed.

(sighs) I know.

Why couldn't it just have been Randall?

(guitar playing)

You writing something new?

Yeah, I'm trying to.

Is it for your new boyfriend?

Don't know what you're talking about.

Come on. Because you sound completely normal on the phone?

"Hey Clay. What's up?"

Stop it.

(phone rings)

Oh, is that him?

Get out.

Answer!

No, no, answer!

Get out!

Please answer. I want to hear!

Please?

Shhh.

(phone ringing continues)

(sighs)

Hey, what's up?

Uh, nothing. What's up with you?

Nothing. I'm just wondering why you're calling.

You know, since I'm such a baby and all.

Come on, Maddie. We're friends.

Right. Friends.

Look, what are you really doing?

Well, if you must know, I was just writing.

Well, dang, you gotta play it now.

No!

Oh, come on! Why not?

Because it's not even close to finished.

Well, how are you ever gonna get it there if you don't play it for people?

Please?

This is so embarrassing.

Just pretend like I'm not even here.

Okay.

What?

This is too good.

I can't hear it this way.

(chuckles)

What are you saying?

Oh, hey, where you going?

I'm going out to meet a boy.

Okay, um...

What's his name?

Clay. He's a musician.

Oh, that's nice.

Is it?

Where'd you meet him? Work or...

Mom, Dad, I love you.

Well, we love you too.

We love you.

That's why we're so curious about your life, and this boy and all the things...

Okay. I'm gonna go now.

Okay.

'Kay.

Have fun.

Not too much.

Okay. You guys have fun too.

Which car you want to follow her in?

(laughs)

No! Like you're actually trying to hit him in the head!

(music playing)

Grab her!

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Keep rolling.

Is that you being angry?

What?

Do you even know what angry means?

Show it to me.

Dammit! I have seen Buddhist monks with bigger tempers than you!

I don't know how to do what you want me do!

There it is.

Now don't let him win.

And don't you dare go easy on her.

We're still rolling. Go!

(music resumes playing)

Get off me!

(screams)

Yes! Cut!

That's a wrap on today.

You...

You were amazing.

And as for you...

Maybe a bag of ice?

Let me go one better.

Can I stand you both to a Tennessee Whiskey?

(sighs) Yeah.

Think I need to lay down a spell.

What about you, Gunnar? Can I tempt you?

Well, as long as it's cool with Scarlett.

Why would I care?

Great.

So show me the way to the next whiskey bar.

Oh, don't ask why.

You're gonna need it.

You're gonna need severals.

That is...

Stinging?

I'll take them.

(car alarm blairing outside)

(dog barking)

A friend of mine owns it.

I help him out with this and that, so at nights, he lets me mess around on my own stuff.

But you live here?

Uh... I started logging in so much time here.

It kind of felt wasteful to pay for a whole other place.

So, you gonna play something for me or not?

(sighs)

Let's slow down.

I don't wanna slow down.

Look, I'm sorry. I just...

I won't tell anyone.

No... (sighs)

Look, you don't know what you're doing with me.

Clay, I'm not a virgin...

No, that's not what I'm saying.

Okay. What are you saying then?

I just...

I think we should get to know each other better.

That's what we are doing, aren't we?

Getting to know each other?

I think we're tiptoeing around the bigger issue here.

What issue?

That you're white and I'm...

Really? That?

Yeah, that.

I don't even see what that has to do with anything.

Look, the fact that you can't see what I'm talking about, that's a part of the problem.

Clay, I'm not saying it's not real.

I'm just saying people do it every day.

It's not that hard, you know.

Look, how can you even say that?

I mean, how can you know anything?

You grew up in your big house.

And you're gonna tell me how the world works?

Look, I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm just tired.

I think I should just call you tomorrow.

Is that okay?

Yeah.

Look... it's a great song.

Thank you.

Really.

Thank you.

Let's just talk about it tomorrow.

Yeah.

One, two, three, cheers.

Cheers.

Oh! (coughs)

Oh, come on, man. Buck up!

In London, we call this a warmup.

Yeah, in Tennessee, we call it sipping whiskey for a reason.

I'll let you in on a dirty secret.

Every British boy grows up wanting to be an American cowboy.

Everything I know, I learned when I was 14, and ditching class to watch the latest American release.

Hmm. Like what?

The thrill of cinema is voyeurism.

You don't pay to watch people act.

You pay to watch them bare their souls.

It's my job as a director to elicit that.

Your girlfriend... no, wait.

Is she your girlfriend?

Yeah.

Well, I mean, I guess you can say we're working through some stuff.

Let me guess.

You found a way to be a duffer, and screw it up.

Or am I projecting?

Yeah, there was a woman on tour.

I messed up.

Why is it so easy for us to mess up something that's working?

I know. I have no clue.

You know, with Scarlett, it's like... where would I be if she wasn't with me?

And if I hadn't convinced her to put her stuff to music, and get up on stage?

Has she forgiven you?

(scoffs)

Are you kidding? She's like a saint.

She's almost too forgiving.

What do you mean?

I mean, she never thinks about herself.

So much so that, well...

It gives you license to be selfish?

Sometimes, yeah.

(burps)

Oh, your breath is like 100 proof.

Mm, you feel nice.

Well, I have to be up in five hours, and I haven't slept, so...

Maybe I can help.

Okay, I can't make love when I'm anxious about pretending to make love on camera tomorrow.

There's too many layers of confusion.

Please?

Cut!

I'm asking you to seduce this man with your eyes, your lips, your hands, your pelvis.

What was holding you back?

It's not me.

Elaborate.

I don't do the things you're asking me to do.

I don't move the way you're asking me to move, at least, not in public.

And why is that?

It's degrading?

You think that if you behave in a certain way, people will value you less?

That they'll call you names.

You'll be diminished.

But in fact, there have been female artists from Isadora Duncan to Madonna who have claimed power and pleasure by embracing their sexuality on their own terms.

So what I need you to do, is to quiet the voice in your head that says "shame."

And just own it, okay?

What if I don't want to?

How's that?

This is a music video.

It's not a therapy session.

I'm sick of you treating me like it's the other way around.

Why can't it be both?

(scoffs) Because you're not a shrink!

You're just some dude with screwed-up views about women all being secret sexpots, and it's your spiritual journey to awaken all of us.

Tomato, tomatoe. We are going again. Back to one!

Is it because you're a man, you think you can manipulate and diagnose everybody?

Or is it because you grew up rich and privileged?

And you think everybody else is simple and repressed?

Take your pick! We're going again!

No! We're moving on. You got plenty.

Everything we have done today is worthless!

In fact, Raymond... delete the card.

(scoffs) You wouldn't.

Go on. Do it.

There. It's all gone.

Hopefully, now you're ready to give me something real.

Hmm.

(sighs)

He's nuts. He's completely nuts. (laughs)

He's not nuts. He's just passionate.

Is that what you learned on your man date?

If you didn't want me to go, you should have just said so.

Oh, as if I needed to give him any more amm*nit*on to throw at me!

(sighs) Wh...

What?

Please, go on. Everyone else is.

Nothing. It's just... maybe it's okay to push the envelope.

There's no harm in cutting loose.

Why? So I could be like one of the girls in your fantasies?

No...

So you can feel more free.

If you're so concerned about my freedom, why would you push me to be somebody I'm not?

I'm okay with who I am, Gunnar.

I work too much. I care about other people.

I'm good to my family and the people I love.

Even people I don't like, I'm nice to them too.

And I'm okay with that. I need you to be okay with it too.

I am okay with that, I promise.

And you know what? If you want to walk away, I will support that.

But if you want my advice, I think you should just gut it out.

Not everything I say or do is going to make complete sense.

Now like you said, it's a music video.

The logic isn't linear. It's emotional and free-associative.

And there is method in my madness.

I just need you to trust me enough to give in to it.

Four, five...

I'm sorry, I should have called before just like dropping in.

Is there a better time I could come back?

Are you kidding me?

All I want is an excuse not to focus on my miserable self.

Look at this, though.

That's incredible!

(grunts)

What's incredible is this ugly beast is finally gonna come off next week.

Tell me you have something more exciting to talk about.

Sit.

Well, there's a boy.

I'm hooked already.

And he's like amazing.

So sweet, but also challenges me.

And if you could hear him sing...

I'm waiting for the catch.

Well, there isn't one really.

It's just every time I feel like we're taking a step forward, he like clams up or something.

And he just keeps saying I don't know what I'm getting myself into.

And last night, he was mean for no reason.

Then you should take him at face value and move on.

Maddie, if a guy's not treating you right, that doesn't mean that there's some sweeter, nicer version of him under there, and it's your job to try to find him.

Trust me. I've been down that road too many times to count.

If it's so obvious, then... why have you done it so many times?

(scoffs)

Because screwed-up men are sexy. Don't ask me why.

Until they're not.

Look... you don't have to make every mistake by yourself.

Let me feel like a couple of mine had a greater purpose, okay?

Everybody knows it. Tell you what. It's $20 in it for you.

Well, you saying our money's no good here?

No, I'm saying, it's a crap song.

(laughter)

What's your problem, huh?

You think you're better than us?

What you looking at?

You know, we're gonna be doing one of these for you and Deacon soon enough.

In fact, we should make sure we get a bunch of behind-the-scenes, making the album stuff as well.

Shhh. You're a crazy person.

You know it. (chuckles)

Okay, we're rolling!

Scarlett?

Oh, hi, Rayna.

Hey.

How you doing?

I'm okay. You doing all right?

Uh, yeah, just takes me a minute to switch back and forth, is all.

Scarlett?

Yeah?

Can we borrow you for a second?

Yes. Um, excuse me. I'll be back in a minute.

Okay.

Hey...

I think something's upsetting Scarlett.

What's the matter?

I don't know.

I mean, she's a really sensitive girl, I just...

I wonder if Damien's pushing her a little too hard or something.

Rayna, if Scarlett was in the studio, would you barge in and demand that she change her process in the middle of a song?

I hear what you're saying, I'm just...

Maybe I would if the producer was being abusive to her, you know.

Look, Damien is unorthodox.

But he's a puppy dog deep down. Trust me.

I get that. I just...

I know Scarlett and I just...

And I know Damien.

And I've seen the performances he's elicited.

Sure, granted, yeah, he is on the edge, but it's just... it's part of his genius.

You just gotta give him the freedom to do his thing.

Okay? Trust me.

(phone ringing)

Hey, you missed me. Leave a message.

If people still do that or whatever.

(beep)

(knock on door)

Clay, you in there?

Look, Maddie, turn around and go home.

Wha...

My God! What happened?

I'm fine, okay?

Clay? No. No, no, no.

What happened? Oh, my god.

(dialing cell phone)

Clay!

911. What's your emergency?

(Soft music playing)

Hey, I want to check on the status of a patient.

His name's Clayton Carter.

Are you a spouse or family member?

(text message rings)

Um, I'm the one who brought him here.

You're just gonna have to wait till he's released, ma'am.

Thank God!

Fellow exile. (chuckles)

Damien's a real cell phone n*zi, and I had a lot of business to handle on mine.

How'd you misbehave?

Apparently, they're filming something sensitive.

I'm Will.

I know who you are.

You do what a lot of these young guys out there can't.

You sing from the heart.

Oh.

Yeah. I don't know about that, but...

I'm Zach Welles, I'm a business partner of Rayna's.

Oh, then I know who you are too.

Hey, listen... what's Luke got you doing at Wheelin'?

Opening up for him.

Right, but what's his overall vision?

Uh, I guess just get the music out there.

Yeah. If only that was what it was all about, right?

You know, I am friendly with the arts editor at the Times.

I'm sure he would eat it up if I pitched you as a feature.

And they'd be smart and sober about it, because, well, it's the Times.

When will you be in New York next?

Uh... look, I'm flattered, but...

Sorry. (chuckles)

Tend to get carried away when I'm excited.

Here, let me see your phone.

(clears throat)

There...

Now you have my number.

Feel free to use it.

Okay, thanks. I will.

Great.

I wonder what they're sh**ting up there, right?

Why not?

Because I don't understand why I would do something like that.

Because just before you're about to make love to him, you get an idea to tease him, and put on a show.

And we watch your face in pure pleasure as you t*rture him until he realizes he loves it.

Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not comfortable with that.

You see, if you had some sort of philosophical objection or point you wanted to make or idea you wanted to share, I wouldn't mind that you fight me.

But, no, you do it because you're afraid!

And you waste everyone's time!

Let me ask you as question.

Why hasn't it happened for you?

Why hasn't what happened for me?

Why weren't you famous?

W-what...?

Let me put it a different way.

Who was Billie Holiday?

Johnny Cash? Tammy Wynette?

Because it wasn't their voices, and it sure as hell wasn't their manners!

It was about taking all your pain, all your desire, and laying it bare.

So if you're just standing there because that guy said, don't just write poetry, sing, and you were like, aw, shucks, if you say so, then you should just quit now!

Oh!

Go back to writing your big feelings in a little notebook, and letting people treat you like a doormat!

You realize you're the only person treating me like a doormat right now?

Oh, is that right?

Yeah.

All right, all right. Just give it a rest, man.

Tell me, are you or are you not the woman who apologizes when she hasn't done anything wrong?

Who smiles, when what she's really feeling is angry?

Who takes back her man?

Who folds his socks?

When he slept with half of Nashville?

All right, leave off her! I mean it!

Go ahead. Walk away.

Just know what life you're choosing when you do it.

Scarlett, if you want to get out of here right now...

Why can't both of you just shut up!

All right, then.

Let's roll camera.

Is there anyone you want to call?

Like maybe someone who could stay with you or something?

Look, I don't need anyone to look after me, all right?

Okay, um...

Well, can I at least give you a ride?

Look, I said I'm good.

Are you kidding?

What is wrong?

Lots of things, all right?

Which is why you're gonna go and do you.

And I'm gonna do me, all right?

No.

I've had a lot of time to think, and I'm sorry, but I'm not doing that.

Look, Maddie, don't you get it?

Okay, I'm not a normal person.

What do you mean?

Just talk to me, Clay!

Look, I get...

I get mood swings, you know.

Like big ones.

You're bipolar.

Well, how'd you know that?

Like half my friends think they got a mood disorder.

Yeah, well, let's hope they don't.

Clay, there are things you can do, you know...

Look, I know...

Medicine you can take.

Look, Maddie, I can't take that stuff, okay?

I can't feel when I'm on it.

I can't write, I can't sing.

I just... I can't!

Okay. I don't care.

Yeah, you say that now, but...

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry I led you on.

You're just scared!

Yeah?

Yeah. Yeah, and you can say it's because I'm too young, or I'm white and your black, or you get depressed or whatever. But deep down, you know it's because you like me, and that terrifies you.

Where do you see this going, huh?

I mean, what do you want to happen?

You want me to walk up to your parents' front door?

Say hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

I'm your daughter's broke-ass older boyfriend.

And, oh, by the way, I'm off my meds!

Nice to meet you!

Yes!

Yes, that's exactly what I want!

Because you're brilliant! And I care so much about you!

And the only thing holding you back is you!

I'm gonna go.

Okay?

Now her hand comes up into frame.

Slow. Grasp his fingers.

That's it. Cut.

Okay, g*ng, that's a wrap.

(cheering)

(knock)

I imagine you more or less want to m*rder me right now, but I couldn't leave without telling you how incredible you've been.

In any case, I see really bright things for you in the future.

I'll just be happy to say I knew her when.

What gives you the nerve to treat people like that?

Wait till you see the video.

(knocking on door)

Maddie? Mom wants you for breakfast.

Okay.

What's wrong?

Nothing, um...

Just tell her I'm not coming.

Okay.

Here she is.

You sleep long enough?

I made sweet and savory. So you don't have to choose.

Thanks.

Here's to that video being behind us.

Now it's just up to Mr. self-proclaimed genius.

You all right? What's wrong?

Why would you tell him about our personal business?

He just asked if we were dating, and I said it's complicated.

Gunnar, I've made my peace with the past, but it doesn't mean I want other people knowing about it.

I'm ashamed of what they might think of me.

Or what a weak person I must be to keep on taking you back.

Okay, I'm... I'm sorry.

But for what it's worth, I think you're dead wrong.

I think you're so damn strong.

And I'm thankful for that... every day.

Hey.

Hey.

We want to talk to you.

Why? You guys just been like lying in wait down here or...

No, but we were up half the night till you got home.

Sorry. My phone d*ed.

Well, you know, if we're gonna have this new arrangement where we're treating you like an adult, you gotta act like an adult.

You know, it'd be courteous for you to let us know where you're going.

And then return our text messages.

You know, don't go sneaking around and hiding.

Okay. Clay was in an accident. So, I had to take him to the hospital.

What? Is he okay?

Yeah, he's fine.

I'm just saying it's why I didn't text.

Okay, listen.

What?

We're just saying that it makes it worse for us if you force us to use our imagination...

Okay, I get it! It was a bad decision.

Well, we want to know that you're okay.

And, you know, if you're seeing a new guy, it would be nice for you to introduce him to us.

Well, it's over now.

So that's one less thing to worry about, right?

Could I please go now?

(doorbell rings)

You expecting someone?

No, I'm not.

Hello? How can I help you? Who is this?

It's Clay Carter, sir.

I'm Maddie's... friend.


Hello.

Hi... hello. Mr. Claybourne, Ms Jaymes?

I had the pleasure of getting to know your daughter, Maddie.

And I thought it was about time I introduced myself.

Well, that's real nice.

Thank you. Come on in.

So, um...

Maddie says you're a musician.

Aw, no. I mean, not like y'all.

But, yeah, country, blues...

Uh, we came in 40 over.

(gasps) How'd that happen?

Overtime.

Damien went long every single day.

Oh, and you were right about Scarlett.

Gunnar said something to me about her being "livid"?

I need to give her something... No.

See, I knew it. I should have trusted my gut on that...

Rayna? Rayna? So glad I found you!

Sir, you can't go back there.

Have you got my letters?

Rayna? Rayna, wait!

Wait, calm down.

I had a weird feeling that you hadn't.

So I just wanted to see you myself...

Hey! Let's go outside!

Get off of me!

I just want to talk to her!

Let's go outside.

Rayna, I just want to talk to you, Rayna!

I just want to talk to you!

Call 911. Call 911!

Rayna! I just wanna talk to you!

I just wanna talk to you!

Outside! Outside!
