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

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.
♪ We have high highs
♪ Low lows
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.
♪ On my lips
♪ So love me anyway
♪ Love me anyway
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.

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.

Stop!
Just stop.

Are you kidding?
Are you kidding me?
Come on, give me my guitar.
What?
Give me that guitar.

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.

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.
