06x10 - Two Sparrows in a Hurricane

[bunniefuu]

- Previously on Nashville...

- I auditioned for
"Nashville'’s Next".

He cannot be trusted.

- You know who that is,
don'’t you?

Rayna James'’ daughter.

- You had people
sh**ting at you?

Your friends just blowing up
in front of your face?

I want to turn it off
for just one day,

is that too
much to ask?

- Let go of him, Brad!

- We'’ll be talking.

- He'’s suing me
for full custody.

- The only way that you
truly get over someone

is with someone else.

- I crashed there on the floor.

- Dude, look, you gotta
just chill.

- Just, no.

- Nothing happened.

Omelet?
- Yep.

- I was gonna make
you breakfast today.

- Well, I b*at you to it.

- Looks like you did.

First day. How do you feel?

- I'’m okay.

- What time you
wanna head out?

- 8:30.
And you owe me.

- Uh...

- Go back to bed.
I'’m gonna take her.

- Nope. I'’m wide awake.
I'’ll take her.

- Nothing.

Maddie said
she'’s good to take me.

- I told you I wanna be
a part of this, right?

- Yeah, and you have been.

There'’s just really
nothing else to see.

- This is about me
and Brad, isn'’t it?

I'’m sorry, all right?

I didn'’t want this to turn
into more stress for you.

- I know. It'’s okay.

- All right, your sister
can take you today.

But we'’re gonna figure
something out, all right?

- Perfect. Thank you.

- I want a full report too.
- Of course.

- Everything.
- Of course.

- ♪ I think sometimes about

♪ How things could
have been different ♪

♪ One less late night

You spying on me?
- Oh!

Apparently.
How'’d you do that?

- Shadow.
- Oh.

- Don'’t say nothin'
till I'’m finished.

I think I found you
an open mic.

- And you'’re completely
forgetting about last time.

It'’s a coffee shop.

It'’s cozy, it's quiet.

Might be good to get in front
of a small audience in a venue.

I'’ll be there the whole time.

And that'’s actually
pretty much it.

- Why you care
about this so much?

- Because you have a gift.

And I know the more I say it,
the less you believe me.

So if you look me in the eye
right now and tell me that

you'’re happier here
singing to yourself,

then I'’m not gonna
bother you about it again.

But if there'’s any part
of you that wants this

even a little bit,
why not try it just once?

- And I do this,
you quit pestering me?

- No.

- Look, I'’m sorry for coming
at you the other night.

- I'’m just sorry
about your nose.

- Yeah.
Damn guitar snuck up on me.

- Yeah.

I mean, you know
I would never do that

to you over with
someone you'’re seeing.

- Yeah, I know.

And just for the record,

we'’re still totally casual,
by the way.

- Yeah, we are.

I guess I thought
it was more than that.

But now I understand it,
and that'’s that.

- I'’m not really looking
to be with anyone right now.

I mean, every time
the doorbell rings, I...

You think it'’s Juliette?

- Yeah.

- I'’m sorry, buddy.
I mean...

I didn'’t think, well...

- I just haven'’t really been
talking about it lately.

- Look, if you do
wanna talk about it

or you just need a hand
with Cadence

or need another person
at that fortress

you live at,
give me a call, all right?

- Thanks.

- Well, well, well,
look at all you chickadees

sitting here staring out
into the great unknown.

You'’re gonna learn a lot over
the next couple of weeks.

But there'’s one thing I can
tell you all right now...

- No.

- Okay.

- I'’m gonna launch one of you
so high into the stratosphere,

you'’re gonna forget you
were ever sitting here

worrying about what
fools like us

ever thought of you,
all right?

So savor it!

And to help coach you, we have
two of Nashville'’s finest.

Multi-platinum recording
artist, multi-3FM award winner,

Ms. Ilse De Witt.

And 87-year Music Row veteran,
singer, producer,

fashion designer,
responsible for...

what is it...one,
two number one hits?

- Try it again, buddy.
- All right.

15 number one hits,
Mr. Tommy Reddick,

ladies and gentlemen!

- Ilse.

- Me too!
Preston.

- Daphne.
- So let'’s get started.

- The strategy is simple.

Make the cost so high
he doesn'’t have a choice

but to come to the table
and settle.

- It means we go to w*r,

paralyzing his
company with discovery.

Countersuing saying
he'’s a bad father

and that you want
all parental rights.

You find every person he'’s
ever screwed over in business

and you bring him in
as a character witness.

Most important, you put
your boy on the stand.

- I can'’t do that.

- You'’ll have to.

Judges have emotions
like everybody else.

And it'’s hard for them
to side with a man

who'’s cruel to his child.

- You don'’t know Brad.
He lives to fight.

This is his element.

- It'’s my element,
I assure you.

- You don'’t gotta
worry about that.

- I'’m not gonna
let you pay for this.

- I'’m part of the reason
you'’re here right now, so...

- But even if we go through
this whole thing,

there'’s still a chance
that we could

still lose, couldn'’t we?

I mean, of course, we could.

- The man'’s a bully.

You want to stand up
to him or not?

Excited?
- Yeah!

Yeah?

Well, I can imagine.

I mean, I'’m still
so nervous when I have

to sing a song for
the very first time.

It'’s a moment where
you'’re completely vulnerable.

But I think we share
something as songwriters.

You know, we move through
the world

just a little differently than
most people, you know.

I'’d say we feel things probably
way deeper than most people.

And we have this strange but
beautiful way of expressing

ourselves and our truth.

And when we'’re in this room,
I want you to know

that there'’s absolutely
no judgment.

We'’re just here to share what
we'’re working on as artists.

So breathe, relax.

So who wants to volunteer
and break the ice?

Anybody?

No

It'’s okay, it's okay.

♪ Let'’s just go ♪

- You do know that you'’re
gonna have to actually

look at each other when you
do it for real, right?

I mean, it'’s tough
to sell a sexy song

just staring off into space.

Come on!

Does this whole band need to
go to couples therapy or what?

- Is it still called couples
therapy if there'’s four of us?

- I don'’t know.
That'’s a good question.

What would you call it?

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Yeah. I'’m sorry.

I was just trying to be
sensitive to everyone right now.

- I get it.
Don'’t worry.

So what are you up
to the rest of the day?

- Just heading back.

I told Emily I'’d be
home by five, so...

And you?

- All sorts of
nonexistent plans.

So I guess we'’ll each be at our
separate homes doing nothing.

- Apparently.

- All right, then.
I'’ll see you tomorrow, Avery.

- See you tomorrow, Alannah.

- ♪ Never know unless I try

♪ So this is goodbye, dear

- I think she'’s
absolutely precious.

- Yes, but no one'’s gonna
believe a girl that young

can be the next big thing
in country music.

- Oh, they will when they
find out who her mama is.

- Oh, I didn'’t know that was
part of your scoring category.

- We are now in the business
of attracting eyeballs.

And every Rayna James fan
is gonna be tuning in

to see how
her daughter'’s doing.

So as I believe they say
in Hollywood, the kid stays

in the picture at least,
you know, for now.

- Oh, it'’s horrifying.

- All of it, but mainly the
idea of going to w*r with Brad

because I cannot
imagine winning.

- Well, you won'’t be
by yourself.

- Well, there'’s no way that
you'’re gonna pay for this.

- Jessie, it'’s gonna cost

thousands and thousands
of dollars, right?

You got that kind of money?

- And you have that kind
of money to just throw away

on somebody that'’s not
even your own kid?

- Throw-- How is that
throwing away, Jessie?

- Look, Deacon,
you'’re being a good guy.

But this is absolutely crazy.

And you know it'’s crazy.

- Just trying to help.

- Well, that'’s the problem.
That'’s the whole problem.

- How is that
the problem, Jessie?

- Because you can'’t rescue me!

I'’ve spent my entire
life being rescued

and here we go again.

- When did it become this
big crime

to want to
rescue somebody, huh?

- It'’s not a crime!
I'’m talking about me!

It'’s my own weakness.

I need to be able
to solve my own problems.

And I feel like...

there'’s something
wrong with me.

Like other people can make
things happen in their life

and I just can'’t.

And my son is now
suffering because of that

and it just kills me.
And I'’m sorry.

I don'’t mean to
take it out on you.

You'’re the kindest person
I know, really.

- So solve the problem.

- I'’m working on it.

- There she is!

There'’s the girl
I been looking for.

You know, the minute
I saw your audition tape,

I thought about you
in that talent show.

And I said to Ilse...
didn'’t I say this?

I said, "The world has no
idea that this girl

is the most talented member
of that entire family."

But you need the right song.

- A song about your mom.

Look, I know you don'’t want
everybody thinking that

you'’re just here
'’cause of your mom.

And that'’s admirable,
all right?

But they'’re gonna be
thinking it

whether you want them
to or not, right?

In my line, they call that
seizing the narrative.

You get up there and
you make them think

what you want '’em to think

by telling '’em
what'’s in your heart.

- I'’m sorry. I really think
that'’s just too private.

- Well, we don'’t want you
to do anything

you'’re not comfortable with.

No, no, nonsense.

That is exactly what we want.

Let me ask you something.

Are you an artist?

Seriously, I'’m asking
you right now.

Do you see yourself
as an artist?

- I'’d like to be someday.

- Look, modesty is not gonna
get you anywhere, Daph.

You are an artist right now.

And an artist will always
choose discomfort over safety.

Taking all those
feelings churning inside

and turning it into something,
that'’s songwriting.

I mean, right?

Clapton, "Tears From Heaven".
Faith Hill, "There You'’ll Be".

The list goes on and
on and on. Right?

Tell you what.

Why don'’t you give it a sh*t?

See if anything bubbles up.
What do you think?

- Okay. I'’ll think about it.

- There you go. Good job.

- Hey. You wanna
come over and write?

Or, I don'’t know, have
some drinks or something?

- Aw, God, man.
I'’m sorry.

I'’m kind of headed
to meet some people.

- It'’s all good.
Just thought I'’d ask.

- Sorry, buddy.
Any other time, all right?

- Don'’t worry about it.
See ya.

- Hey.

Sorry for just turning up
like this.

But, well, I wanted
to talk to you.

So is that crazy?

- I'’ve seen crazier.

- Yeah, sure.

- Look, I'’m really sorry
about the other night.

I shouldn'’t have reacted
the way I did.

- That'’s okay.

- Look, I know I haven'’t
really seen you since then.

But I been thinking
about you...a lot.

Well, I been thinking
about you too, Gunnar.

- I mean, I have.

I Just, I feel like
there'’s pressure.

- I don'’t want you
to feel like that.

I guess I didn'’t realize
how much I like you.

- I just feel, you know,
you have this idea of me

and that'’s what
you'’re interested in,

not the actual me.

Because you couldn'’t know
the actual me yet.

- Well, I'’d like to get
to know the actual you.

Oh, boy.
- It'’s okay.

- Look, if you'’re
not into this,

just say you'’re not into it.

- I don'’t know
what to say, Gunnar.

I'’m not into what
you'’re making it into.

I mean, I like you.

I just thought this was
gonna be something different.

- So you'’re not ready
to be with anybody?

Or is it just me?

- I'’m just... I'm just pretty
shut down right now.

- I get it, yeah.

- I'’m sorry.

- No, no. It'’s okay.
You know, it'’s better to know.

Yeah, I'’ll see ya.

- I'’m so proud of you.

- Dude, did you hear '’em
stomping their feet?

It was amazing!

- No. I couldn'’t hear
anything at that point.

- You could have a career
if you wanted.

- Come on...
- No. You could.

You gotta work at it.
But you really could.

- I didn'’t expect it to feel
so good up there.

- I think that
might have been

the start of something
beautiful.

And I'’m right here
if you need me.

Um, I didn'’t...
That'’s not what I meant.

- I'’m sorry.
- No, it'’s okay.

- No. That was stupid.
- No, it wasn'’t.

There'’s a lot of emotions
flying around.

Please don'’t even
worry about it.

- I'’m sorry.
I'’m gonna go.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- It was fine.

We just workshopped
some of our songs.

- Just fine.

- Listen, I'’m gonna
take you tomorrow.

Seems like you'’re under
a little pressure here.

And something'’s
not right, so...

- I'’m just writing a song.

- Baby, I'’m just gonna
stand at the back.

Nobody'’s gonna see me,
just like last time.

I just wanna make sure
everything'’s okay.

- Okay.

- Okay, that'’s
where we'’ll stop.

I can do a whole
lot more than that.

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

- You heard from
Alannah at all?

- You know, we decided
to cut things off.

I mean, whatever there was
of it which wasn'’t much.

- Just didn'’t feel
right, you know?

Thought better do it
sooner rather than later.

- Yeah. Well...

I mean, that'’s
probably the mature move

if it wasn'’t working.

- No, it wasn'’t, it wasn't.

- Yeah.

that beautiful be so nice?

There'’s something wrong with
this girl, I'’m telling you.

- I work with you.
- That'’s it.

That'’s gotta be it.
- Oh, oh, oh.

Who'’s next, huh?

Come on.
Somebody step up.

Daphne, come on up.

Show us what you

You give me any
more thought

we were having?

been working on something.

- Good.

- Uh, let me ask
you something, Daph.

If your mom were
here right now,

what would you say to her?

- I don'’t know.
That I miss her.

- Good, good, good.
What else?

- That'’s a beautiful
thing to want to say.

- It is a beautiful
thing to want to say.

But it'’s not a song, is it?

Tell us why you miss her.
Tell us when you miss her.

Tell us what it feels
like to miss her.

Look, you...

You gotta be specific
about what you'’re feeling

or else the audience
isn'’t gonna feel anything.

And that'’s not
what you want, right?

Hey, Daph?

I like where you'’re starting.
It'’s a good beginning.

Great job, great job.

- Hey.

- You left your
jacket at sound check.

- Oh, thanks.

You didn'’t have to come
all the way over here.

- I know.

- You wanna... you can
come in if you...

- I don'’t wanna
break any rules.

- Stop it.

We have to leave
for the show soon anyway.

Come on.

You want something to drink?

- Oh, yes.

- It'’s kind of strange.
I'’m rarely alone here.

Cadence is staying
over at Emily'’s tonight

because of the show.
- Right.

- I'’m sorry about
the other day.

- Oh...
- It'’s kind of awkward.

So many moving parts.

- I understand.
A thousand percent.

You know, we all want
everything to happen

in the perfect time without
baggage or complications.

As if that ever happens
in the real world.

- Sometimes it happens.

- It does happen.

Sometimes there'’s a train
leaving a station

and you know if you
don'’t get on it,

your life will be
different forever.

And even though it'’s crazy,

even though you know you
should be somewhere else,

even though it goes
against everything

you'’ve ever believed,
you get on that train.

Or do you not believe that?

- Did he tell you
to write that song?

Daphne?

- He suggested it.

- Did you tell him you didn'’t
feel comfortable about it?

- He'’s helping me with it.

- Yeah, I know he'’s
helping you, all right?

That'’s not the point.

The point is he'’s exploiting
your feelings

about losing your mom
for a TV show.

- Do you think
I'’m an artist or not?

- Come on now.
You know I do.

- Then please stop telling me
that I'’m too young

to write about
what I'’m feeling.

- Listen, sweetheart.

You wanna write about
your mom, that is fine, okay?

Getting your feelings
out through your music,

that'’s great,
it'’s therapeutic.

But if you'’re trying
to force something

before you'’re ready
'’cause he's pushing you,

that is not fine.
That is just picking a scab.

You'’re not gonna come up
with a good song either.

All right. Good luck on
your make-up test.

- Thank you.

- Here'’s your note.

Love you.
- Love you, too.

- Okay, we should probably go.

- Yeah, yeah, right.

- His stuff'’s gone.

- We screwed up.

Because we didn'’t think
about the consequences.

- I thought about
the consequences.

You'’re okay with this?

- No. I'’m just tired of thinking
about the consequences.

- I have no idea
what that means.

- Because you'’re a guy.
You don'’t have to understand.

- Oh, that'’s fair.

- Every guy who likes a girl
thinks she owes him something.

Ask any woman.

And if you don'’t like them
back, they get mad at you.

They text you,
sometimes they yell at you.

Sometimes they stalk you.

Sometimes it gets even worse.

- Well, Gunnar is
not like that.

- Oh, he just walked out in
the middle of the performance!

So I thought about the
consequences, Avery, yes.

Because I had to.

And you know what?
I decided you were worth it.

I'’m sorry if
that was a mistake.

- Hey, I was looking
for you this morning.

I wanted to talk to you about
what happened last night.

- It won'’t happen again,
don'’t worry.

- It'’s not a big deal at all.

The most important thing
is for you to keep...

- I told you.
It won'’t happen again.

- For you to keep
finding your way.

- Doesn'’t matter what I do.
You know that.

- No, I don'’t know that.
- Nothing is going to change.

- Because you can'’t
change what happened.

- Don'’t! Could you wait
and just...

talk to me, please?

- I was a terrible soldier.
Do you know that?

- No.

- Those guys, they were
like my brothers.

They were okay.
I was never okay.

I was weak.

Shouldn'’t have
sent me over there.

I was a danger to all of them.

- Stop it.
You know?

You'’re some expert?
- No!

All I know is that
then was then

and now is now.

It doesn'’t matter
what happened.

You can'’t live
like it'’s then.

- There was this patrol
in the south.

Three times in one week,
everybody'’s bitchin'.

Why we gotta go back
three times in one week?

So this third time,
I look up.

I see these two kids
looking out of a window.

And I knew.
I turned to the sergeant.

And I said, "We gotta stop."

I didn'’t even get
the words outta my mouth.

I didn'’t even hear
the expl*si*n.

It was like a whole Humvee
got just lifted into the air.

Like this really
pissed off giant

just lifted it into the air.

And I'’m in this
washing machine

going over and over
and upside down.

And my teeth go
through my lip.

Then my leg'’s burning.

And I'’m thinking how
many times can I hit

the inside of this thing?

I can'’t hear a damn thing.

And it all feels like it'’s
happening to somebody else.

Well, Billy gets
the door open

and he'’s pulling me out.

And then there'’s rounds
hitting the dirt all around us.

And I'’m just thinking
I need to be f*ring.

I have to fire.

But all I can see is
blood from my mouth

pouring over the action
and down to the ejection port.

And my finger'’s slipping
off the trigger.

But, Billy, he just
pulls me out of the way.

He thinks he'’s got a sh*t.

And I just watch him,
boom, boom, boom.

One, two, three,
boom, boom, boom.

He'’s a machine and I'm
thinking how does he do that?

Then his jaw'’s gone.

Whole bottom half of his face
is gone just like that.

And he'’s looking at me like,
well, what just happened?

I don'’t even know.

I'’m looking at the inside
of his head

thinking that'’s
too much bleeding.

I don'’t know how to stop
that much bleeding.

While...

While I'’m looking at him,
he'’s already dead.

Dead from a round that
was meant for me.

And when a
Blackhawk shows up,

somebody'’s yelling
at me to go.

And I can'’t.
I'’m holding onto him.

And they'’re pulling me.

And I'’m screaming,
"That'’s me! That is me!"

They don'’t even know
what I'’m talking about.

- I'’m so sorry.

- I'’ll see you later.

- You had a change of heart.

- I'’m hearing you out.

So, uh, how are Wendy
and the Lost Boys?

Is there anybody left?

- I can leave.

- Come on.

So, look, I'’ve been
doing this a long time.

And when a talented young woman
joins up with a bunch of guys,

it follows a certain
trajectory which you

may be discovering on
an accelerated timeline.

- Thanks for the insight.

- Yeah. All I'’m saying is that
you might as well

spare everybody the drama of
the long slow goodbye.

You go solo right now,

I'’ll put you with
my best producers

and PR people in my stable

to get your music out
there in the world.

We'’ll have your first album
out in six months

have you on tour
within a year.

And to convince you
of my sincerity...

And you get that whether or not
you ever sell a single album.

So, you know, think about it.

Sean?

- Hey, I'’m here!

- Hey, um...

I'’m so sorry I pushed you.

I didn'’t know
what you'’d been through.

If you wanna live out
your days here to get away

from people and have some
peace, you deserve to.

- It'’s okay.
I'’ll keep singing.

- '’Cause Scarlett
told me I had to.

- Oh, come on, dude.
Shut up.

- Well, you said I can'’t
keep living in the past.

I have no idea how to do that.

But, obviously, you are right.

- I don'’t wanna be right.

I just want you to have
something good in your life.

- You tell me something.

- I told you,
I never wanted it.

Not like you.

- I don'’t believe you.

- No.

Matter of fact, I think
you'’re living in the past.

- Thanks for coming over.
- Hey, yeah.

Sorry I got frustrated
the other day.

- No, no. You had every
reason to be frustrated.

Listen, Deacon,
I can'’t solve this.

- Okay. Well, I told you
I'’d pay for a lawyer.

- And I'’m beholden
to you for that.

But I can'’t put
Jake on the stand.

And more than that,
I can'’t take the chance...

- That you'’d lose him.

- Yeah. I literally don'’t
think he could...

he'’d survive it.

We just... stop?

- I think so, yeah.

- I don'’t wanna.
- Neither do I.

Maybe we could just
pretend to stop.

- Yeah.

- Mm-hmm.

- I mean, it'’s nobody's
business, is it?

- It'’s not.

- But you'’d have
to lie to your girls.

- You'’d have to lie to Jake.

We'’d have to ask him
to lie for us.

- It'’s not fair.

- I'’m sorry.

- No. You didn'’t do anything.

- I did. I kind of did.
- My life is such a mess.

I'’m sorry I ever
met that man!

- Come here, come here.
- Oh, Deacon...

- We'’ll see what
happens, all right?

- Okay.
- Maybe something'’ll change.

I'’m gonna go.
- I'’m so sorry.

I'’m sorry for everything.

- No, Jessie.

I'’m gonna go.
We'’ll talk.

I'’ll call you.

- Gunnar! Come on!

Gunnar! Come on, man!

Gunnar, open the door.

You'’re up.

- Two, one, we'’re on.

- Welcome back to "Nashville'’s
Next Country Star".

Say hello to our
youngest contestant!

- She looks so beautiful.

- Well, hello there, darlin'’.
What'’s your name?

- Daphne Conrad.

- I'’m 14 years old.

- Yes, 14.

- What are you gonna sing
for us today, Daphne?

- A song that I wrote
for my mom.

It'’s called "Memories Crash".

What inspired you
to write that?

- Well, my mom
passed last year.

And I'’ve just been
really missing her. So...

I thought it'’d
be nice to just show her

how I'’ve been feeling.

- She'’s okay.

- You know, that'’s
beautiful, Daphne.

Did she play
at all herself?

- Yes.

Um, my mom was Rayna James.

- Now I'’m just...
Wait a minute, wait.

The Rayna James?

I guess we'’re in for some
kind of a treat today, huh?

All right, Daphne, honey,
whenever you'’re ready.

Go on.

Just wow.

Daphne, I gotta tell you
that was some kind of beautiful.

And you get a great
big yes from me!

- Thank you.

- Daphne, I just don'’t
know what to say.

I'’m speechless.
Absolutely, yes.

- Thank you.

- I will say
I do believe

that you are your
mama'’s daughter.

Um...

But uh...

You'’re movin' on to
the next round!

- Thank you!
