Torn Hearts (2022) - full transcript

Follows a country music duo who seek out the private mansion of their idol and end up in a twisted series of horrors that force them to confront the limits they'd go for their dreams.

Now, Hope,

any plans for a solo album?

Oh, I couldn't do any of this

without my sister.

No, ma'am. She is being modest.

Oh, Harper's

the real artist here.

We are a team, a good one.

And everyone loves Hope's voice.

I just sing

with what the Lord gave me.

All credit goes to Him

and very long showers.

I love singing in the shower.

I can attest to that.

Y'all ever get into fights?

Sisters tend to do that

from time to time.

We disagree sometimes.

She wants to go one way,

and I want to go another.

But we're in this together.

We're a team.

And it's a blessing

to have someone

on this crazy journey

that comes from the same place

that you come from.

And somebody who just

knows your soul.

That's right.

No one understands you

like your sister.

What's next

for the Dutchess Sisters?

Best New Artist

is nothing to sniff at.

A country act has never

won before,

much less two gals.

Where y'all gonna go from here?

Well, we made it to the top,

and that is right where

we're gonna stay.

That's right.

♪ You're like me

♪ So love me anyway

♪ Love me anyway

♪ Love me anyway

♪ Love me anyway

Thank you, Nashville!

Thank you!

Once again, we are Torn Hearts!

Come on!

Great show tonight.

Thank you.

Well, cheers to a great show.

Cheers.

No. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

So...

...that last song

was supposed to be a ballad.

Yeah, well, we played it

the way I wrote it,

and the crowd loved it.

I mean, they did, baby.

You saw it.

Yeah.

I did.

And they did.

But they're drunk,

and the crowd wasn't who

you needed to impress tonight.

Take a look over there

at eleven o'clock.

That is Caleb Crawford.

I invited him down

to see your set tonight.

I didn't tell you 'cause

I didn't want to freak you out.

He's looking for a new

opening act for his summer tour.

Manager says they need

more women, for optics.

And because we're good?

Yeah.

Because you're good, Jordan.

But good don't matter

if you don't fit

the image he's looking for.

What image is that?

He makes corny music

for soccer moms.

What's he calling the tour?

Um, "White Wines and Feelings"?

What?

Right.

I get that you don't like it.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

But there's a way

things are done in this town.

Now, opening up for a big boy

country star like Caleb Crawford

could give Torn Hearts

just the break

you've been looking for.

Make her be cool.

Play nice.

Caleb!

Yeah, yeah.

Come here, you handsome devil.

I want to introduce you

to the gals.

Jordan, Leigh, Torn Hearts.

Ladies, quite a show.

Very well done.

Thank you for coming out.

We're such big fans of yours.

Oh, yeah.

Big huge star like yourself,

how do you find the time?

I owed Richie a favor.

Turns out it was a pleasure.

Told you.

You did.

So, just to be clear,

you... you liked

our last song just now?

What about it? The energy?

The lyrics? The tempo?

Jordan just needs

constant feedback.

It's a part of her process

as an artist.

Artist to artist,

I really liked it.

Hey, so what's going on tonight?

Still early. Y'all gonna

raise some hell or what?

Yeah.

I got these ladies in the studio

first thing tomorrow.

I think we're just gonna

go hit the hay.

What? You got a curfew?

Your daddy ain't here.

Well, mine's not.

I do not call him daddy.

I could use one more drink.

You know, Richie's right.

We've... we've got a lot

going on in the morning.

Come on. It's one drink.

It's never just

one drink with you.

Well, then let's have

a few drinks.

What do you say?

Let me grab my purse.

Perfect.

So, what's your story?

Small-town girl? Big dreams?

Fuck are you talking about?

Do I look like a cliché?

They're clichés for a reason.

Oh, that won't be necessary.

Yes, it is.

Okay.

Sorry about that.

As if you don't love

the attention.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Can I ask you something?

Sure thing.

Do you like, um...

do you like being famous?

To be honest...

I fucking love it.

Huh.

What's that smirk on your face?

Is that judgment?

No, it's fine. It's fine.

I... I think fame is compelling.

Okay.

But, Leigh's always been the one

with stars in her eyes.

You know?

Yeah.

She wants to be on TV,

play the big stadiums.

I don't know. I... I think

that if I got to write music

that I really loved

for the rest of my life...

...I'd be happy.

I get that.

Oh, my God!

I am so sorry.

You're Caleb Crawford, right?

That's right.

I am a huge fan.

I do my elliptical to "Boots On,

Black Out" every morning.

That's so nice.

Oh, my...

I got to get your autograph.

Oh.

Ooh.

Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.

That's okay.

It's all right.

You cannot take me anywhere.

- What's your name, ma'am?

- Um, it's Tammi.

- Tammi.

- Tammi.

Nobody is gonna believe

that you are here in this bar.

I can't believe it!

This is wild!

You got to meet my friends.

Hey, y'all!

Jenny! Kelly!

It's Caleb Crawford!

All right, thank you so much.

- Look! He's here!

- Appreciate it.

This is

the greatest night of my life!

♪ Same damn thing anyhow

God fucking damn it.

Hey.

So much for an early night.

Okay.

What's wrong?

Jordan better not fuck this up.

Do you have any idea

how long I've been

trying to get Caleb

down to see you guys?

Do you have any idea how long

I've been courting him for?

Look, she's a lot savvier

than you think.

She's... she's fine.

She's a liability, Leigh.

Well, what do you want me to do?

Huh?

I mean, I can admit

that we haven't been

on the same page lately, but...

I mean, she's my best friend.

You guys do this all the time.

What would you like me to do?

Tell me.

Hey, nobody's perfect.

Hmm.

You're pretty close.

Mm. I'll talk to her.

Okay?

Hmm.

Hell you will.

She's got you wrapped

around her little finger.

Oh, really? Does she?

Is that what you think?

Doesn't really seem

to matter much

what I think these days, Leigh.

You want to fall out tonight,

so let's fall out tonight.

It is not what I said.

Is it?

- Where... where are you going?

- Home.

My home.

Leigh, babe, come on,

get in the car.

Just... I... I'm sorry.

I will make it up to you.

Maybe tomorrow. Night.

Think the floor-to-ceiling

chandelier is big enough?

Why not just extend it

to the roof?

Hey, you should see

my L.A. place.

Oh, my God.

Harper Dutch? What?

Leigh and I are obsessed

with the Dutchess Sisters.

Her even more than me.

That's how I want us to be.

Minus the untimely end,

of course.

You'll get there.

You know, Richie's not a bad...

Don't even bring him up.

You know, if it were up to him,

we'd be some... some robotic

pop country princesses.

I know we can be so much more.

Huh.

Both of you?

What are you trying to say?

I only know what I saw.

I saw you, musician, songwriter.

You are the whole package.

Hmm.

You just need that, uh,

next big thing.

Yeah. Well, do you have any idea

what that thing might be?

Uh, I didn't want

to talk shop tonight,

but I might as well tell you

the, um...

the label wants to make it

an all-guys tour this summer.

All guys?

Hmm.

Yeah.

Did you find that out

before or after we had sex?

Before.

Did you have sex with me

so I'd take you on tour?

No, of course not.

Huh.

How did you get that photo

with Harper Dutch?

It was a whole fucking thing.

Still kind of pissed about it.

Her team reached out

to my team about a duet.

We rehearsed a couple times.

Was gonna be this real special

opportunity for me.

You know?

Harper Dutch's

first single after, uh...

everything that happened,

and, uh,

it's with Caleb Crawford.

But, uh, she called it off.

Said I wasn't the right one.

Mm.

Bet that never happens to you.

No, no, no.

Don't turn this around on me

like I'm some kind

of sexist prick.

You wouldn't believe

what she put me through.

Harper Dutch?

There's something...

Just trust me on this one. Okay?

Is that her house?

Yeah.

Where is it?

Why?

Well, maybe she'd want

to record a song with us.

You know, just the ladies.

What's her address?

You know I can't tell you that.

Why?

'Cause you missed out

on your PR opportunity?

Th... this would be

more to us than that.

It's exactly what we need

right now.

You can't just

cut the line, Jordan.

Just got to be patient.

Is that how you got

to where you are?

You were very, very patient?

Jordan?

I thought you'd be at Richie's.

No.

No, we got into a big fight.

So figured

I'd put my insomnia to use.

Can you just please try

and behave at the studio today?

Um, about that...

Oh, God, what?

What if I told you

I got something special

from Caleb's house?

What, you mean besides a UTI?

I'm serious.

Please tell me

we got confirmation

that we're touring with them.

Oh, I don't know.

We didn't get down

to the nitty gritty.

I got something better.

- Harper Dutch's address.

- Okay.

And how did you get that?

Caleb gave it to me.

Oh, I bet he did.

Yes, he did.

Thought we could go there,

ask her to record

a song with us.

Jordan.

Okay, you know

I love the Dutchess Sisters.

I mean, I would d... die

to meet Harper Dutch,

but we can't just show up

at her house.

I mean, sh...

she doesn't know us.

Who gives a shit, Leigh?

Are you...

She would fucking love us!

Come on.

We've said we need

to get to the next level.

Well, this is it, Leigh. Okay?

You got to trust me.

Maybe we could talk

to Richie about it.

Let's see what he thinks.

Or just listen to me.

I'm your partner.

I've got a vision for this band.

I'll think about it.

Hey, do you remember when

we were first getting started?

We would always say

we're in this together.

High highs, low lows.

How dare you use

my favorite Dutchess Sisters

song against me?

Mm. Think about it.

You know what

Harper Dutch's favorite pie is?

No.

But I bet you do.

Yeah, bet your sweet ass I do.

Strawberry rhubarb.

We're already up.

Might as well make a quick stop

before the studio.

Emphasis on "quick."

You have my word.

This is gonna be a high high.

I can feel it.

I can, too.

♪ My mama always told me

We are lost.

No, we're not.

It says we're...

says we're going the right way.

This doesn't even

look like a road.

What was that?

What?

There's a call box.

Know what you're gonna say?

Yeah.

All right.

Go for it.

Okay.

You'll be great.

I feel like...

Should I just do it again?

Yeah.

Who is it?

Hello?

Hi. S... sorry. Um...

My name is Jordan Wilder,

and I'm here

with my... my band mate,

Leigh Black house.

Hi.

And?

Um... we, uh...

well, Leigh,

Leigh is your biggest fan.

But we're also

your contemporaries

and talented musicians.

Um...

Yeah, I think you girls

better get to leaving

before I call the police.

M.. Miss Dutch, look,

I... I know

that this must come

as a surprise, but...

I mean, doesn't it remind you

of the good old days?

You know,

neighbors calling on neighbors?

I... I watched the videos

of your summer tour in '91,

like, over and over again.

And as a little girl,

I even got my mom

to make me the same sequin skirt

that Hope owned.

Where'd you get those

videos of my last tour?

Oh, uh, on the Internet.

Uh, we're a duo

called Torn Hearts.

We're managed

by Richie Raleigh Jones,

and we're about to go on tour

with Caleb Crawford.

We're the real deal.

Did you say

Richie Raleigh Jones?

Yes, ma'am.

Guy's a prick.

We know.

But he's all we got right now,

and, uh, you know,

we could just...

we could use some advice

from a woman who's seen it all.

I mean,

you and your sister really are

our heroes, Miss Dutch.

Um...

we're so sorry for your loss.

Ma'am?

You still there?

Damn it.

I shouldn't have said that.

Shit.

Oh, my God.

Leigh.

Are you kidding me?

Little overgrown.

A little bit.

Doesn't look like

she gets many visitors, huh?

Yeah.

Gosh, this place is huge.

Guess she left it open for us.

Obviously. Go.

Obviously.

Where do you think she is?

I don't know.

Oh, my God.

It's just a mannequin.

No, it's not just a mannequin.

Oh, my God, it's a mannequin

wearing Hope Dutch's tour outfit

from the first

Dutchess Sisters live album.

Leigh.

Leigh.

What?

All right, ladies.

Come on in.

You gonna sit?

Yeah. Uh, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Miss Dutch,

we... we so appreciate you

for letting us

into your house like this.

It's... You look amazing.

We are real fans of yours.

Yeah.

Yeah, we... we listened to

your music the whole way here.

Takin' the Truck.

Great album.

Mm.

I'm Jordan Wilder. This is...

I'm Leigh Black house.

It is such an honor. Truly.

Oh, um, this is for you.

It's, uh, strawberry rhubarb,

your favorite.

Strawberry rhubarb

was my sister's favorite.

Oh, I'm... I am so sorry.

I... I read it

in a magazine article

when I was younger, and I...

Yeah.

You can't always believe

what you read.

You two are a duo?

Mm-hmm.

Yes, ma'am.

Mm.

Which one of you is better?

Uh...

Uh, we're the same.

Yeah, we're equals.

Yeah.

Huh.

So, you, uh...

came to my gate and you, uh,

said you wanted some advice.

What you want to know?

We did, um,

b... but we also heard

that you might be interested

in making music again.

Who the hell told you that?

That's not what you told me

when you came to my gate.

You said that you wanted advice.

Well... I think

we'd take advice, too.

I mean, we're... you know,

we're just starting out,

and, I mean, you...

you've been through it all.

You're amazing.

Not an early riser?

Oh.

No, just like to take my time.

Yeah, no, no.

She's, um, being polite.

She needs a mixer.

Mm-hmm.

The prissy ones always do.

Oh. Thank you.

Yeah, um,

the hard liquor is kind of

rough on my voice.

You're the singer?

Yeah.

Oh, we both sing.

Yeah, I... I do

harmonies mostly.

And play guitar.

Like you.

And I usually sing the melodies

and play percussion. Yeah.

Tambourine,

sometimes the triangle.

Some of the songs have

a little bit

of a shaker element.

Like Hope?

Yeah.

So, you girls want me

to do a song with you?

That's why you're here?

Oh.

We know it sounds crazy.

More than anything in the world.

Yeah. That... Yes.

Yeah.

Uh-huh. Then you better drink

my damn booze.

Oh.

Hmm.

Y'all any good?

Well, we'd love to show ya.

Absolutely.

What now?

I don't...

Come on, then!

Oh. Yeah.

Oh.

Okay.

Holy shit.

Oh, my God.

Which one you want to play?

Anything you'd allow.

Pick your poison.

Oh.

This one.

This is from

the '93 tour, right?

Uh, that's gonna need

some tuning.

Yeah. You know,

I read somewhere once

that you used to write

every single day,

so that's what I started to do.

Uh, nobody touches

my microphone

without my permission.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, and unfortunately,

no tambourines.

It's not about the percussion.

It's about her voice.

Well, I did sing

a lot in the shower

when I was a teenager, so...

I think we're gonna...

I think we're gonna

even things out.

Here.

Oh, I... I couldn't. I...

Oh, no, no.

I want you to borrow it.

It was Hope's.

She used to wear it

all the time.

Just go on. Put it on. Oh, my...

Look at you

with those tiny bones.

- Um...

- Okay.

Well, uh, do... do you want

something upbeat?

You know what this is, missy?

This is called a shot.

You don't get many in life,

so don't mess it up.

Okay.

Um, well, this is an original.

It's called "Let Me Know."

- Two, three...

- Hey.

Let's do

a Dutchess Sisters song.

But we, um...

"Highs and Lows."

That's our song, right?

Trust me.

Okay.

Uh, "Highs and Lows."

Two, three, four.

♪ It's why we stay...

Stop!

Just stop.

Oh. Sorry. Um...

We can play something else,

maybe something that...

I'll do it.

Y... you...

What?

I'll do that song with you.

Are you kidding?

Are you kidding me?

Come on, give me my guitar.

What?

Give me that guitar.

You...

You will not regret this.

Here we go.

I promise.

No, you will not either.

Oh.

This is how we celebrate!

You girls want to be

rock stars, right?

This is the way we do it!

This is gonna be great.

I can just tell.

I'm gonna go get

some more drinks going.

Did she just slap your ass?

Yeah. Y... yeah.

Harper Dutch

just slapped your ass.

I would feel reborn.

Jordan, this is amazing.

She wants to do

the song with us.

I... I know. Did she have to,

like, slap my ass, though?

Oh, my God, I'm sure

she's gotten her ass slapped

by every producer in town while

she was climbing the ladder.

Yeah.

Jordan, we're doing a song

with Harper Dutch.

I know. I know, Leigh.

I can't fucking believe. I...

Oh, my God.

We're doing a song with

Harper freaking Dutch!

I know that one of you

is not a whiskey drinker,

so, uh, what can I get you?

Um... uh, vodka,

if you have it, it'd be great.

Uh, you know,

I might have some vodka.

The... the gal

who brings my groceries,

- she didn't come this week.

- Oh.

But... but wait

just a second. Oh.

Vodka all around.

Oh, shit! Okay.

She has it!

You girls are right on time.

I have not written

a song in years,

but I been thinking

about it lately,

and I got

loads of ideas percolating.

You bored?

Uh, n... no. No, ma'am.

No, um...

It... it's just our manager.

We were supposed to be

at the studio this morning.

Yeah, yeah.

But this is way more important.

We can just finish

our celebration later.

You... you go ahead on.

Just go on. Go on.

Okay. All right.

I... I'll be quick.

Mm-hmm.

Quick. Right.

Richie, hey.

Hey, you're not gonna believe

where we are.

Yeah, where are you?

'Cause we're all

at the studio waiting for you.

Okay, look, trust me,

this is worth it.

Yeah, well, it better be.

Do you know how much

Jordan fucked things up

with Caleb last night?

W... Wait,

slow... slow down. What?

The tour is off.

How old are you?

I'm 25.

You look older.

You're gonna have

to really work for it.

Girls like us,

that's our cross to bear.

Only gets harder.

It's tough being the other one.

I'm not sure what you mean.

I don't mean anything by it.

I get it.

She's the one up front,

and you're the one in back

doing all of the work.

Just like me.

Well, we both work hard.

Yeah, but you work just

that little bit harder, right?

I doubt she's staying up

late at night,

writing melodies and songs.

Mm-mm.

It is clear who's getting

her beauty sleep.

Damn.

Shit!

We get a lot of critters

around here.

You... you cut my finger.

Hey. Is everything okay?

Yeah, Jordan just got spooked

by a little bug.

She just cut my finger.

Let me see.

You done with your call?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Where'd you two meet?

The Bluebird Café two years ago.

Yeah, we were waiting around

all day to get onstage,

and just sort of got to chatting

and getting to know each other.

We both were

relatively new to town,

but Jordan had been there

a little bit longer

doing the open mics.

And then they called Jordan up

as the last act of the day.

And Leigh started crying.

Only a little bit.

I just couldn't catch a break.

I had been trying

to get onstage forever.

And then Jordan

invited me up with her.

Yeah. Yeah.

It was, uh, we winged it,

but it was great.

Yeah.

It was meant to be.

You know, I... I think

we needed each other.

So, you shared your coveted slot

with a stranger?

Yeah. Yeah,

it wouldn't be the first time.

Well, you know, I... I just,

I... I felt so bad for her.

Um, but luckily she's talented,

so it all worked out.

Yeah, she is something.

I noticed that

the moment you walked

in the door.

You have that...

that extra something special,

don't you?

You're a star.

Yeah, well,

you know, um, people say

that we both have

a lot of talent, so...

You got a boyfriend?

I got... Oh, she has a boyfriend.

You don't like her boyfriend?

Yeah, she knows

I don't like him.

Well, I like him, so...

Well, Harper doesn't like him.

Who?

Can you not do this

right now, please?

Richie Raleigh Jones.

Okay.

Richie Raleigh Jones?

You know, what's funny

is my sister

had an older boyfriend.

Couple of times.

Always some asshole

with power and prestige.

Not her worst laid plan,

although I hated it at the time.

Interesting.

Nobody wanted to hear

what we had to say.

Not in Nashville.

But Hope, she always knew that

you couldn't get what you wanted

just 'cause you wanted it.

She knew you had to strategize.

Be ruthless.

Sneaky.

And, you know, that actually

worked for a while.

But what'd we get in the end?

Constant pressure.

Unmet expectations.

Workhorses for a bunch of men

that did not know what to do

with us on the wrong side of 35.

Screw them.

You make incredible music.

You inspired

a generation of musicians.

You did.

But now I'm alone.

Hope is gone.

I tried to...

I tried to help her.

And now I just punish myself

every goddamn day.

I think we all feel punished

without the Dutchess Sisters.

- Yeah. Truly.

- No, Harper, you...

I mean, you can't blame yourself

for Hope taking her own life.

She did it in... in front of me,

you know.

It was truly awful.

I mean...

Would be awfully nice

to let that go.

That's her.

Cremated.

All right, enough, enough.

Let's just... let's just

lighten this up.

Yeah.

You know, if... if you're

gonna be a star, baby,

you better learn

how to take a shot.

Yes, ma'am.

Let's have a toast to Hope.

To Hope.

To Hope.

Watch it with this one.

She cheats.

Is that so?

What's she do?

She loses.

Go. There you go.

Ooh.

♪ 'Cause it's obvious...

Ooh.

♪ 'Cause fools think alike

♪ Taking any bet

♪ It's just what we do

Hello?

Leigh?

Miss Dutch?

Hello?

Yeah, they are something else.

Wh... well, the singer,

she is just like you.

She stirred her drink,

licked her finger.

A little bitch.

You know you are.

And I love you for it.

And you heard what she said

about the shower?

Oh, my. Just like you.

This could work.

This could really...

What?

You scared the shit out of me.

God.

Where were you?

I woke up on the sofa

in the living room.

Wh...

When did we put these on?

I don't know.

They're cool, though, right?

Original tour shirts and pants.

Yeah. Um, do... do you

have your phone?

Mm-mm.

What... what time is it?

Did we sleep till the afternoon?

I don't know.

This shirt stinks

and I feel like shit.

Does it?

Yeah.

That much liquor'll

do that to you.

Pacing yourselves, my ass.

You two really tied

one on last night.

Leigh, you passed out.

And then, Jordan,

you were talking about driving,

so I... I took your keys.

Just wasn't right.

God, I'm...

I'm so sorry, Miss Dutch.

I don't remember any of that.

Yeah. No shit.

You girls want a wash?

- Yeah.

- Well, um, no.

No, I think we'll be going.

But thank you so much

for your hospitality.

Um, I... I can't seem

to find my clothes.

They're in the laundry.

They'll be done soon.

You spilled whiskey

all over you.

You do not remember that?

No.

Mm-mm.

I was thinking we could

work on our song this morning.

We can do that. Yeah.

Oh, sure. Yeah.

But maybe... maybe another time

'cause I think

we've overstayed our welcome.

You weren't welcome

to begin with, dear.

Follow me.

You girls want to learn how

to make it in Nashville, right?

And you want to learn

from the best, right?

Well, it starts, it starts

with wining and dining.

I have an idea.

I'm gonna go upstairs

and get dressed,

and you girls are gonna

make me breakfast.

Okay.

Wh... what do you

want us to make you?

Surprise me.

Okay.

Come on.

Okay.

This is weird.

Let's just... Let's go.

I feel like making her breakfast

is the least we can do.

I mean, we got wasted here

last night.

Plus, I mean, it's not like

we have any other options.

Yeah, no, there are

plenty of other options

other than

running around this weird

Sunset Boulevard house

in stinky shirts.

Okay, what options?

I know Caleb's

not an option anymore.

Yeah, Richie told me

yesterday on the phone.

He said that you guys

slept together

and now he doesn't want

to do the tour.

It's not 'cause

I slept with him. Jesus.

Wait a minute, you knew?

You knew and you didn't tell me?

Uh, I was gonna.

Okay. Okay.

So... so we can keep doing

what we're doing

and... and playing

to midsized crowds in Nashville,

or we can do something bigger.

With Harper.

Now, who's the one

with a vision for the band?

Perfect.

You know how to scramble eggs?

Yeah.

Good. I'm tired.

You're not gonna help?

Nope.

What is going? I... I don't...

I don't like this, okay?

I overheard Harper

saying some, like, weird shit.

Like what?

I don't know.

Like stuff about you.

Really?

Oh, my God, never mind.

Oh, my God.

Shit, they're rotten.

I'm gonna be sick.

Okay, well, we need

to find something.

No, no. Just stop.

Okay, but we need

to figure something out.

I told you

it wasn't gonna be enough.

- Shut up.

- Yeah.

Shut up!

That's right.

I am extremely

disappointed in you.

How do you expect me

to record a song with you

if you can't do something simple

like make me breakfast?

I'm sorry, Miss Dutch. We...

Well, I'm... I'm not.

Um, thank you

for your time, Miss Dutch,

but I... I think

this is obviously a bad fit,

so we'll, we're just gonna...

Jordan.

No.

Leigh.

I think we're gonna go now.

Please stay.

Don't screw this up.

She just threw

a plate at our heads.

And I'm asking you to stay.

Don't go just 'cause

it gets a little complicated.

Jordan?

Hey, Jordan, Jordan,

look, look, look, look.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I... I just lost myself.

You're right.

I did not think about

how empty my kitchen was.

You know, after so many years

just living out here by myself

in the middle of nowhere...

I... I forget

what's expected of me.

I... I just want to make sure

that you and Leigh

work as hard as I did.

I want someone who cares

about the artistry.

You know, the work.

And I think you do.

I think you want to do

something original.

Yeah. I mean, yeah, of course.

Yeah.

You and me, we're so much alike.

This really can't happen

without you.

High highs, right?

All right, then.

Ladies.

Wow.

I had some wild nights in here.

Bet you she fucked

Willie Nelson down here.

What?

What? You would.

Liquid breakfast.

Here we go.

Bottoms up.

Whew.

Uh, Leigh, uh, not so fast.

You girls didn't get

the breakfast right,

so, uh, I'm thinking

I'll give you another shot.

Oh.

Another shot?

That's right.

Miss Dutch...

You want the song or not?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, there's a lot of things

you got to do

that you don't want to do

to get on top.

Isn't that right, Leigh?

Uh, what do you mean?

Richie Raleigh Jones?

Isn't he old enough

to be your daddy?

Not quite.

Hope had a lot

of boyfriends that were pigs.

Tell me, Jordan,

is Richie a pig?

I mean, he's not

my favorite person.

Yeah.

You know, Jordan,

you're gonna have to start

telling us how you really feel,

'cause it's just not

gonna work out any other way.

I mean, if we're

gonna be working together,

then we just can't afford

to have secrets.

Um...

Yeah, I... I don't,

I don't like Richie.

She knows that.

I think he has bad ideas.

I don't feel like

it's about Richie at all.

You talk about

your vision for us.

What is it?

I think you know

my vision, Leigh.

I don't think

I know your vision.

You talk about your vision

and... and getting us

to the next level,

but I don't think

you have any real answers.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah.

You girls finished?

I want you to show me

how you feel.

What do you mean?

You know, when Hope and I

would get mad at each other,

we'd have to find a way

to... to let our anger out.

So, we'd wrestle.

Fight a little bit.

Felt good.

What?

Go for it.

It'll show me

which one of you wants it more.

Okay, come on.

I... I mean, as mad

as we get with each other,

I... I would never hit Leigh.

It's kind of fucked up.

Not in a million years.

Leigh, what the fuck was that?

Jesus Christ.

I...

Hit me back.

I would never hit you.

I guess Leigh's the one

who wants it more.

Don't back out,

like you always do.

Or do I care more

about the band than you do?

You gonna quit

just 'cause it got hard?

I'm only here

because I care about the band.

And you.

And... and our... our future.

Ow. It fucking hurts!

That's right. It hurts.

Do it. Hit her.

Stop moving!

Stop.

Ow!

♪ Some say I'm being harsh

- ♪ Some say I'm being rash...

- Go on.

Show her how you feel.

You think you're better than me?

You think you're so much better

just 'cause you write my songs!

No, I don't!

Yeah, you do!

You think

I'm just a pretty face.

You think I'm dumb!

I don't think that!

You're not dumb!

It takes a real PhD

to suck Richie Raleigh Jones'

redneck dick every other night.

Well...

seems like these two

got some unresolved issues.

Who the hell would be

buzzing at my door?

You girls invite friends?

It... it might be Richie.

And why the hell

would that turd be at my gate?

I... I told him

where we were last night.

All right, let's go.

Come on.

I thought you weren't

a big fan of Richie.

I'm not.

Then it should just be

Leigh and myself.

Goddamn it. Leigh!

Come on!

Miss Dutch?

Here. Here, change. Quickly.

- Who is it?

- Miss Dutch?

Speaking.

It's Richie Raleigh Jones.

Well, that... that

couldn't be better timing.

I'm gonna buzz you in.

Hey, do you,

do you know where my phone is?

It's not in here.

What are you doing, Leigh?

I see you.

Complimenting my house,

the way I look, my music.

I know you.

And you don't give

a damn about her.

I know what you saw

down there, and...

that couldn't be further

from the truth, okay?

Jordan... Jordan's

my best friend.

We're like sisters.

Probably better than

being a sister,

because, you know,

sisters can get

all heated up

over the littlest of things.

It is a difficult relationship,

to say the least.

I know you blame yourself

for Hope,

but it's not your fault.

Have you thought about, maybe,

like, talking to somebody?

I mean, I... I could help you

find a therapist or s...

Look at you.

You're working me.

Like you're... you're gonna

help me find something?

Like... like the way

you found Jordan?

- What are you talking about?

- Tears?

Tears at the Bluebird Café?

So... so you tell me...

how many times?

How many girls

before you picked her?

I don't know, four or five?

You caught me.

What do you want me to say?

She... she was great.

She is great.

Uh, but she wasn't getting

anywhere and neither was I.

And you should know

more than anybody,

you need a story.

And that story,

it worked for both of us.

I'm not a bad person.

You're not that good either.

I miss Hope.

I miss her every day, and I...

I blame myself.

But now,

you're gonna help me fix it.

Because, you see,

you are Hope and Jordan is me.

What does that mean?

Oh, fuck your old

balls boyfriend.

Oh, my God.

Huh.

There he is.

How you doing, Dick?

Nice to see you, Miss Dutch.

Been a while.

Sorry to intrude on you

like this.

It's just that I haven't

seen or heard from you

since the night before last.

I...

I'm sorry.

Uh, we sort of just

kind of got carried away,

having a good time.

The girls just came by

for some free advice on a whim.

Nothing's free in Nashville,

is it?

Yeah, I've been trying

to tell them that.

I think they're starting

to believe me.

Dare I ask where, uh, Jordan is?

She left.

You know, but it's just my luck

that you decided

to come by right now.

I... I actually need a favor

from you, Richie.

Would... would you mind sitting?

Leigh, maybe get us some drinks.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Have a seat.

I want to get back

out there again.

Hmm.

Yeah.

I want to... I want to do

something new,

a whole new take.

I think it's time

to get the Harper Dutch name

back on people's lips.

Well, I think

I could help with that.

Yes, I thought you could.

And you have just the lady

in your arsenal

that's gonna help me do that.

She's the real deal.

- She's a real star.

- Yeah.

I've been telling people that

for a long time.

It's nothing.

Well, hell, with the two of you,

who the hell

needs Jordan, right?

And, Miss Dutch,

I got to tell you,

I think people

are gonna be so excited

to see you back out there

on stage again.

Especially after everything

that you been through

and all the rumors going around.

I just...

Rumors?

What kind of rumors?

I... I mean, it's...

I just mean people talk.

It's Nashville.

Yeah.

I... I didn't...

I didn't mean, um, rumors,

like, a... about you.

Uh, well, folks were very sad.

And then, uh, well, you, uh,

disappeared from the world

quite a while.

I've been in mourning.

- People don't approve of that?

- Yes.

Of course they do.

I'm... I'm just saying

that folks miss you.

And what'd they say about Hope?

They... they miss her, too.

And I think everybody

feels like it's...

it's a damn shame what happened.

Was a shame.

We're empty.

I'll go get us some more drinks.

Oh.

You read my mind.

Hey. Here's to a new duo.

Hell yeah.

Hell yeah.

Richie, could I...

could I offer you some pie?

Sure.

Jesus.

How... how did you

get out of the basement?

What the fuck was that?

Nothing. You just...

you came in at a weird time.

I knew you wanted

to leave Torn Hearts.

Just never expected you

to lock me in a basement

and trade me in

for Harper Dutch.

You know, I remember

when you were

just starting out, Dick.

Just a little pipsqueak.

Yeah.

Was just a young, dumb farm boy

kind of running around

in the city.

Sometimes it just seems like

you're still rolling

around in the mud.

A little pig.

I'm pr... pretty sure

Harper killed Hope.

What are you talking about?

You don't even want to know

what I saw down there.

A... a secret room.

Like a b... body parts. Fingers.

I really do love this idea

of you and Leigh together.

I... I think it's fantastic.

I am so excited.

And if I'm gonna be

honest with you,

just in my personal,

humble, professional opinion,

I think it might be

your best shot

back in the mainstream

after being gone

all these years.

Could it have been a joke?

No. It's not a... a joke.

I don't think so.

Leigh, she's got something.

She's got that stardust,

that... that kind of stardust

that Hope had.

And then you,

you're the tried-and-true one,

ain't you?

The strong old hand behind her.

Good old Harper Dutch.

Like, she probably

didn't even want

to record a song with us.

She was just saying she wanted

to record a song with us.

She says a lot of shit, okay?

She... she convinced us to beat

the shit out of each other.

Like, you don't think

that's fucking weird?

Well, you and me, we both know

what it takes to make it

in this business.

And if there's you

and there's me,

and we're standing there

behind Leigh...

Well, goddamn, fuck, I think

you're gonna be unstoppable.

You know what I'm saying?

Harper is sick.

Okay? She's trying

to turn us against each other.

Jordan, come on.

I mean, we obviously had

some issues to work out

before we got here.

Hey, Dick,

anyone ever tell you

you talk too much?

My ex used to tell me that

all the time.

You know what?

I've got a fantastic idea

for a song for you guys.

Can you just

listen to me, Leigh?

Stop telling me

to listen to you!

I'm sick and tired

of everybody bossing me around

and telling me what to do.

Today, I'm gonna do things

my own way for once in my life.

Okay, well, just believe me

about what I saw.

We should just go.

That's what you want, isn't it?

You want us both to leave

so neither of us

get to work with Harper.

Yeah.

I'm not going anywhere.

She says that I have star power.

Something you've always been

jealous of.

- I'm jealous, Leigh?

- Stop.

Don't... don't shush me, okay?

Shut up.

Just calm down.

No, no. Fine, fine.

I knew you wanted to jump ship

on the band and me,

so just do it!

- No one's stop...

- Ladies.

Are you two arguing?

You know, when we argue

with each other,

it's just not right.

We all lose.

You changed. You look great.

And I see that, uh,

that you made it

out of the basement.

You know, I was just

talking to Richie,

and he thinks

Torn Hearts with Harper Dutch

is a great idea.

He does?

Yeah, no.

No, I heard what he said.

It wasn't that.

He said we need

Jordan's artistry

and Leigh's star power.

And then, of course,

y'all need me.

So I was thinking maybe we could

lay down part of that song

that we were talking about,

if y'all are still interested.

I mean, I know I am.

Yeah, well, yeah, I am, too.

Hope I don't get in your way.

Then don't.

Um, where's Richie?

Uh, is he gonna come and...

You know, the reception

is so bad in this house.

He just had to step out

and make a call.

Come on, girls, let's go.

This way. Walk this way.

All right.

Now, you wanted permission

to use that microphone,

so... so you go right ahead.

Uh, Jordan,

could you just move that

out of the way, please?

We're gonna... we're gonna put

the microphone right there.

That's where it sounds the best.

That's right. Okay.

Now, gather round.

You ready, girls?

What's the song?

It's a song that,

uh, that Hope wrote.

It's the last one.

We never recorded it.

So, we're going to sing it

a cappella.

You girls will get it.

You're just gonna follow along.

All right?

♪ Never thought it would ever

Sing with me now.

♪ I'm gonna die with your name

♪ On my lips

Sorry.

It was just so sad.

It was gorgeous but sad.

Oh! Come here, honey.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

That's all right.

C... come on in here, Jordan.

Yeah, let's just...

we're gonna make it right.

We're gonna...

We're just gonna

make everything all right.

Yeah.

You know, a lady's boudoir

is where

she keeps all her secrets.

Wow, your room is beautiful.

Oh, thank you, Leigh.

And, uh,

what do you think, Miss Jordan?

Oh, I... I like it, too. Yeah.

Almost there.

She just talked to that photo.

Don't talk shit.

Do you want to be here or not?

Of course I do, Leigh.

I sang with Harper Dutch.

I could die happy.

Yeah, so could I.

For my girls.

Oh, my God, that's stunning.

Mm-hmm.

Wow.

Thank you.

Yes.

You're gonna help me

even it out.

For Hope.

What do you mean by that?

You know what I mean.

I... I don't, actually.

Look at you.

You look just like her.

Come here.

All right.

I think you need

just a little something.

It won't be a lot.

Yes, there you go.

Open.

All righty. Now blot.

Beautiful.

You clean up well.

Just think about it.

All three of us together.

You girls are gonna help me.

You ready to hear next steps?

Yes.

All of us?

Yeah.

You sure?

You don't seem sure, Leigh.

You know, it's funny.

You act like you care about me

and you care about the band...

but you'd leave me

in a heartbeat

the second things got hard.

Yeah, maybe I would leave.

Hmm.

I'm the songwriter.

And I'm the one in front.

What would you even sing?

You'd be doing covers

at open mics.

You would be nothing without me.

No, you're nothing without me.

I could always go off on my own.

Where would you go, Jordan?

Who would do

all the work for you, Leigh?

You think what I do isn't work?

I'm the one

putting in the time at bars,

chatting up every promoter.

I entertain the crowd.

I'm the face.

That is work.

It's not real work.

Write your little songs,

but you're always gonna

have to write them for others.

You're always gonna be

one step behind

the person who really

brings it together.

And that's you?

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

You finally see me.

Oh, I see you.

No.

You don't. That's the problem.

Well, you don't appreciate me.

I don't think anyone

will ever appreciate you

as much as you

appreciate yourself.

Anything else?

Your beauty will fade

and you'll have nothing left.

No one will want you.

Not even Richie.

And you're gonna end up

bitter and alone.

You're never gonna be anything

more than someone else's backup.

That's something

Hope and I never could do.

Tell the truth.

The truth hurts.

Hope brought you to me.

I know it.

She wants me to even things out.

She wants me to have redemption.

You girls ready

to help me do that?

Yes. I am.

It hadn't been pretty

this last number of years.

Now, I can't,

I... I can't tell you the...

the number of nights

that I've hurt.

That I cried and...

You just get lonely.

I... I've been lonely.

I get very lonely, Hope.

Leigh?

Leigh?

What?

I'm sorry.

You know,

they do say the right accessory

can make an outfit!

Even it out.

Miss Dutch.

Leigh, run!

- Miss Dutch, what are you doing?

- Leigh!

Leigh, run!

It's time for me to atone.

Go! Go!

Is it locked?

Um, yeah, there's...

Try... try the living room.

Shit.

- Or the... the window.

- Okay, okay.

Jordy?

Yeah? Oh.

Oh, man!

D... don't... don't look.

Go. Go.

- There's bars.

- Check the other door.

It's locked!

This one has bars, too!

Where the hell

you going, Miss Leigh?

This is my house.

I will tear it to shreds

to get to you two.

No!

Bitch!

You're gonna have to try

harder than that.

I think she's missing

on purpose.

What?

She doesn't want to kill me.

She had the chance.

Oh, my... Oh, my God,

you're right.

You're right.

She's fucking with us.

She's... she been

fucking with us

since the moment

we walked through that door.

Now, we have to go

to the basement.

No, no. W... we'll be trapped.

No, I... I have a plan.

Okay? You...

you have to trust me.

Go! Go!

Oh, Jesus!

What the hell is this?

I tried to tell you.

No.

Leigh.

No, I... I'm not, I'm not... No.

I'm not killing Harper Dutch.

We have to do anything we need

to do to get out of here.

Take the gun, Leigh.

Do you even know

how to use this?

I'm from Texas, Leigh.

Of course I do.

Look, I don't want to kill her.

Okay? She's... she's my hero.

Just don't make me kill her.

Okay.

Please.

I promise.

Um...

Help me, Leigh.

Oh.

It's almost time.

I promise.

Harper.

Harper, I'm in here.

Har... Harper.

- We're a team.

- Harper.

A good one.

I mean, I just sing...

It's all credit to Him.

And very long showers.

Oh, Harper's the real artist...

I love singing in the shower.

Hope.

- I can attest to that.

- We disagree sometimes.

She wants to go one way

and I want to go another.

Oh, Hope. I...

I know.

I know it's time

for me to atone.

But we're in this together.

We're a team.

Hope.

It's so good to see you.

Oh, I couldn't do

any of this without my sister.

Leigh!

Shoot her!

I... I don't want to kill her!

Then don't shoot to kill!

Oh!

Miss Dutch, let go of the gun.

I'm just... I'm gonna...

I'm gonna take the gun, Miss...

We don't want to kill you.

I'm not finished.

I... I'm not finished.

Hmm. Go find our phones.

- No, I'm not...

- I'm not leaving you.

What's the matter?

You don't trust me?

Oh, do you trust me?

I... I trust you, Leigh.

I trust you.

I saw you for who you were

when you walked through my door.

And now, I need you.

I need... I need you now

to help me finish.

Just get the gun.

Help me finish.

Miss Dutch...

talk to me.

What do... what do you

need to do to finish?

Atone.

I need... I need to atone.

To... to atone for what?

For what you did to Hope?

You killed her. Right?

I told you.

You killed Hope?

Why?

She was gonna leave me.

See, um...

we hadn't toured for a while.

We were expecting this, uh,

this big grand reception

at the Opry,

but...

...we barely made it

to 50 percent capacity.

We were crushed.

And then, the next morning,

we were having breakfast here,

and...

and she admitted that she'd

been working on some solo stuff.

That the guys at the label

had encouraged her.

That she, uh, she said

she wanted to go on tour alone

and, uh, and...

and buy herself a new house.

Get herself a new life,

basically.

Without me.

I just...

I got so angry at her.

And then, uh, I don't know

what came over me.

And then when I...

when I see her face,

after the, uh...

after the fire rang out, I...

She was so frightened.

You know, I loved...

I loved Hope,

and I... I just wanted to...

I wanted to keep her.

Pieces of her.

Our sales, they... they went

through the roof that month.

A sister in mourning.

What a good story.

They just love a story.

I'm so sorry, Miss Dutch.

You're sorry?

Leigh, what are you

talking about?

Sh... she killed her sister.

And then you two

wound up at my doorstep.

And I... I think

Hope saw things differently.

She... she... then she realized

that I could atone.

With you.

How do you atone?

You have to make it.

You have to do everything

that Hope couldn't do.

And Jordan has to go.

I have to go.

Go?

Go where?

What are you talking about?

You're the one

who walks away with a story.

So you can be a star.

You're... you're not...

you're not buying this.

Right?

Leigh.

Leigh, honey...

put down the gun.

Leigh, what are you doing?

I'm not killing Harper Dutch.

I told you.

She has a plan.

What the hell

are you talking about?

Low lows.

What?

No.

Miss... Miss Dutch,

you sit down!

Sit down right now!

We are gonna even this out.

Sit down, Miss Dutch!

You're me and I'm you.

So, we both need to atone.

I haven't done anything wrong.

We're gonna do it

at the same time.

This doesn't make any sense!

On three, I'm gonna say "go."

It has to be at the same time

so that I'm sure

that it can happen.

I will shoot you, Miss Dutch!

Good!

Leigh, tell her to stop!

One!

She's gonna listen to you!

Two!

This... this won't do anything!

This is for Hope! Thr...

I... I know you didn't want

to kill her, Leigh, but...

she...

she was pointing a gun at me,

and I thought that...

Leigh?

But you did it anyway.

I knew you would.

Kill her before she killed you.

She told you to wait

until three,

so you could go together.

But I did it for you.

Now you can.

Leigh.

Can you call...

Oh, I'm gonna call somebody.

What's the matter?

You don't get it?

Hmm?

This is my story now.

She was right.

My idol, she traps us down here.

She kills her sister.

My boyfriend.

My best friend and band mate,

who died bravely

trying to save me.

Oh, Jordan, that's the story.

That's the story.

Oh.

Oh, I thought I'd lost you.

You know, she knew.

She knew you were gonna kill me.

It was me or you.

It's always been me or you.

It doesn't have to be that way.

Aw, honey.

Hmm?

But it does.

Plus, not like we can do

much now, right?

Oh. Ooh, ooh.

Sorry.

I'll miss you.

We did it.

We're gonna be stars.

I won't let you down. I promise.

Jordan!

So, you knew Torn Hearts

and Harper Dutch quite well?

Yes, ma'am.

Talented, wonderful women.

Lives cut too short.

A senseless tragedy.

It's to my understanding

you're bringing

some of Torn Hearts' music

back to life,

in tribute to Jordan Wilder

and Leigh Black house.

It's actually a tribute

to all four women.

Lucky enough, my team was able

to get the last known recording

of Harper Dutch and Torn Hearts,

titled "Go."

And I'm happy to be

playing that for you tonight.

♪ So sad, so sad it is

We're like sisters.

I know what you saw

down there, and...

that couldn't be further

from the truth, okay?

Jordan... Jordan's

my best friend.
