Nashville (2012–2018): Season 1, Episode 18 - Take These Chains from My Heart - full transcript

Previously on "Nashville"...

I would like to toast Scarlett O'Connor,

the first artist to sign to Rayna's label.

- Hey.
- Travel day.

And you missed me.

Daddy, I just feel

like we missed our life together,

and I don't blame you for that.

Scarlett may have had
enough fun for one night,

but you have not.

I'm not interested in chasing skirts.



That's not what I had in mind.

The band's not thrilled
about adding the new songs.

Too bad. You're the boss.

- What's this?
- Phone records.

Peggy Kenter, your girlfriend...
she was the leak, Teddy.

All right, we're wheels up in an hour.

Sayonara, Cincinnati.
Bienvenidos, Nashville.

You know that's two
different languages, right?

So Emily said that I have
to move out of the house.

Guess the owners are coming back.

Why are you still renting?

I don't know.

I just thought that
when I bought something,

I'd have somebody to share it with.



I know it's silly. It's stupid.

Not at all.

I get wanting to share a
big moment with someone.

You wanna go house huntin'?

Is that a proposition?

Maybe.

Then maybe yes.

I have some friends in real estate.

Put some feelers out.
Check some places out.

Turn that shower back on.

I thought you said we
were wheels up in an hour.

Well, it's my plane.

We're wheels up when I say we are.

What are you reading?

My brother's journal.

Found it in his bag.

It's got a bunch of lyrics and, uh,

stuff like that.

Feels good to have it, though.

Dude!

- Got my first gig!
- Yeah?

Some bar down on Lower Broad.

- Yeah?
- 11:30 tomorrow.

- Ah. A.M.?
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- What...

Where's your truck?

Oh, I traded it in for this.

Wanna take it for a spin?

Hell, yes, I do.

Don't forget your songs for Jeanne.

Yeah, I'll get around to that.

Be careful.

- Dude, this is awesome.
- Yep.

That's unbelievable.

She didn't say a word
to us the whole flight.

Oh! You're just not used to it.

She treats the rest of
us like that regularly.

Yeah. At least we had a chance
to catch up, though, huh?

Yeah, we did. It was fun this week.

Yeah, it was. It was, yeah.

See you later. Have a good one.

So the show's not till the
day after tomorrow... - Hey, darlin'.

- And then, uh, and then we
got a couple days off... - Hi.

Give
everybody a chance to breathe.

I didn't know if you wanted
me to book you up solid...

Hi. I missed you.
Or keep your schedule clear.

Well, you know, I don't
have the girls this week,

and...

shoot. We got days off in Nashville.

Let's finally get together with Scarlett.

Right. Let's call Liam,
see if he's available.

Even tonight, we could try
to get that album knocked out.

Oh, man, I love it when you
talk that way. Oh, I know you do.

Hi, baby. Welcome home.

Hi, mama. What are you doing here?

Well, Emily said that you were coming home,

so I certainly wanna be here to greet you.

Thanks.

Uh, how's your new place? I love it.

It's great, but if I could, um, talk to you

for just a minute. I really...

Oh, we already discussed
why that's not an option.

I mean, you're supposed to be working

with your new sober companion.

Yeah, but I don't like her.
I'd rather work with you.

You know, mama, this
isn't respecting boundaries

like we talked about.

Okay? You gotta go to your apartment.

Dante and I have an appointment.

Okay? Mm-hmm.

Between this spread and the stadium,

we are so excited to be
partnering with Subway

on this deal.

I'll tell you, it feels
like the perfect marriage.

Well, we are excited

about moving forward with subway field.

You know, athletes who work with us

have a legacy of winning
world championships.

That's what I hear.

Hopefully, the same will
happen for this team.

We'll keep you apprised of our progress.

Great. Nice to meet you. Thanks so much.

Well, that went well. Sure did.

It's just too bad that Lamar's company

will still get some of the
work from their Metro contracts.

There's no way around that.

Excuse me, Mr. mayor. Do you have a minute?

Oh, look, I'll, uh, see
you in the council meeting.

Thanks, Cole. Sure.

Hi.

Hey. Hey, hey. We, uh, we
need to keep it discreet.

Oh, come on. I haven't seen you all week.

Well, I've been busy.

Well, can we at least have dinner?

A drink?

I have your lawyer on line two.

Look, I have the girls, so, um...

I'll try and call you later.

Okay.

Teddy Conrad.

Yeah, I can meet you.

Can I do something? I...

You should sit, sit. I can't believe...

I can't believe you didn't
let me bring anything.

Please, all she did was dial a phone.

Hey, why cook if the world delivers, right?

I've seen him eat cold
spaghetti straight from a can.

You don't have to tell
her all my secrets.

Where's Gunnar?

On his way.

Oh, well, he should hurry up

before I eat his egg rolls. Oh, plates.

Everything all right between you two?

Oh... I think

me seeing Rayna on my own turned
things upside down a little bit,

but it'll be fine.

You ought to talk to Rayna about it.

There's something you
want, you gotta ask for it.

Well...

Okay, y'all just keep visiting.
I will get that. All right.

Didn't that sound a little
Southern when I said that?

Okay, can you keep her?

'Cause you're happy,
and she's lovely. Yeah.

Hi. You must be
Stacey. Hi. I am.

She's a good girl.

Thank you for showing
up last minute tonight.

Sure. I'll take time with
you whenever I can get it.

In that case, why don't you play the
Nashville show with me?

You miss being out onstage with me?

I will admit,

it is very fun being onstage with you.

We have a great time. Good.

Yeah.

I'm happy to see you're
doing so much better

than the last time I saw you.

Wow.

Wouldn't be hard to improve on that,

since I was sobbing all
over a bathroom floor.

True.

Ugh. Yeah, nothing like having your father

almost drop dead of a heart attack

to kind of give you some
perspective on things.

Mm.

I just wanna live in the moment.

I feel freer than I ever have, really.

How free?

Hello?

Oh, hey.

Hey. Hey.

How's... how's everything going in there?

Good. Good.

Awesome.

Keep up the good work.

Thank y'all. We're
gonna take a quick break.

Don't forget to tip your band.

How y'all doin'? Hey.

What's up? Dude, that was awesome.

Thanks for comin'. Excuse me.

Can I have your autograph?

Well, why don't you give me
your phone number instead?

Thank you. Thank you.

Don't know how you do it, man.

I got a system. Oh, yeah?

She entered on the phone, uh,
her actual name, which is Kelly.

I'm gonna change it to, uh,

"Kelly, fake blonde, smallish boobs."

So I'll remember her.

That's impressive in a
kind of messed up way,

but I'm not talking about the girls, man.

I'm talking about the stage. You killed it.

I mean, I must have
performed a million times,

but never with that
much... swagger.

Just can't do it. Sure, you can.

No.

Grab yourself a beer, man.

I'm gonna get you told.

Let's just be careful of this step.

I know where the damn step is.

Been walking over it my entire life. Okay.

All right, well, we've
got you set up down here

so that you don't have
to deal with the stairs.

And I don't want you
to worry about anything at work,

because I've got everything
handled at the company.

You know last I checked,
it was my company.

I am neither dead nor doddering.

Stop acting like I am.

Well, hello, darlin'. What is your name?

I just love that you're staying with me.

It feels like when we were little kids.

I know. We can drink
wine and not get grounded.

Mm-hmm.

So... I kissed Liam.

What? I know.

Ex... wait. Ex... hang
on there now.

I'm gonna need some
more details about this.

It just kinda happened. We made out.

Well, do you want it to
just kinda happen again?

I don't know.

Oh, my gosh.

He is really hot.

So just have a little fling.

Right. What's the problem?

No, no problem.

It's fantastic. It's fun.
It's also really scary.

I mean, I'm making all the
choices for the first time.

We went to second base.

Does that make me slutty?

Juliette?

Look what I found for you.

For us.

For us.

- No pool, but...
- And how many square feet?

Looks like 6,500. 6,500.

Yeah. That's big.

- That's...
- That's really big.

Excuse me. Good size.

I was hoping maybe we could
go through "undermine."

Why don't you guys just do it...

run through it one more time by yourselves?

Look, these people have lives

and families they haven't
seen in a long time, so...

Okay, and is that my fault?

Of course not. I mean,
everybody's happy to work.

It's just... doesn't seem
like you want to today.

- I work harder than anybody here.
- Well, I don't know about...

Why don't you stop complaining

and get back to leading the band?

You wanna try that?

Can I talk to you a second?

We're talkin'.

Look, you're not listening to me,

and I'm sure as hell
not gonna listen to him,

- so, uh...
- So what? What?

Maybe I just need to be done here.

I'll finish off this
leg of the tour, but...

you should probably get
yourself a new bandleader.

It's fine. You're replaceable.

All right, that's it,
guys. We're done today.

Head on home. Good seeing everybody.

- I'm sorry it took a whole week. It's...
- No.

I wanted to be thorough. It's all right.

Well, I appreciate you doing this.

Ah, you've been a client
and a friend forever.

I don't mind putting the firm's
resources at your disposal.

The phone records are real.

Nothing forged or questionable.

P.I. talked to the reporter.

Guy wouldn't give up his source.

But he did say it was
someone "close to the mayor."

It's gotta be a mistake.

Peggy was the leak.

I'm just so
excited to finally be here.

I'm excited just to go through
your music and... and, uh,

figure out what we're gonna
use for your first single.

And I think we should start
talking about setting up a tour.

Wow. Okay. Yeah.

Um...

there was one thing that I really
wanted to talk to you about,

and I don't...

I don't wanna seem out of line.

Gunnar didn't turn up to the audition

because he had a death in
the family the day before.

Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.

What made me think about it
was something that you said

at Deacon's party... that
there would be no Rayna Jaymes

without Deacon Claybourne.

There would be no me without Gunnar.

Owning a room is all about
your connection with the ladies.

Okay? They want a little bit less,

uh, "guy who used to
crush on me in algebra,"

- a little bit more...
- Hey, hey.

Bad boy who they wanted hook
up with under the bleachers,

you know?

Check it out. Come here.

We're onstage,

and this is the house, okay?

You gotta section off the
room into different sections,

and you find the prettiest
girl in each one. Boom.

Right there.

That girl has gotta think
you are singing just to her.

She's gotta think you're
gonna walk off the stage

and run away with her after the show.

All right, well, how about
next time I play an arena,

I give it a try?

Screw arenas, man.

Open mic night tonight at Tootsies.

Oh, no. I...

They are gonna love you.

Juliette, I need to
talk to you for a minute.

What... what are you doing here?
You're not supposed to be here.

I need to talk to you, and
I'm sure that he knows why.

I saw you kissing another woman.

What makes you think it's okay for you

to come in here and make
these crazy accusations?

I saw him making out with
a woman on Lower Broad.

He... he was not on Lower Broad...

No, no, actually I was.

I met a friend, Esme, down there

who I sponsored a few years back.

She's a realtor, okay? She
helped me find that house

I wanted to show you.

The thing that most
concerns me is the fact that

apparently you've been following me?

Well...

- You're stalking him.
- No.

Yes, you are.

No, I just wanted to get him alone

so that I could talk to him.

Wanted to get me alone. Are you so obsessed

that you think it's a
good idea to come in here

and tell me this fake story?

That's not what this is about.

- I came here to...
- You get out.

And if you don't, I'll have you thrown out.

Hey, Sarah. Been a long time.

Got the sheet for open mic night?

Sorry, we're full up.
Gotta get here earlier.

You know that.

I got you something.

You did?

Yeah. Well, us. Reservations.

Ooh. What restaurant?

Well, they... they probably have food,

but it's not a restaurant.

It's first class to St. Lucia.

You got us plane tickets to the Caribbean?

No, I got reservations.

But you say yes, I'll buy the tickets.

Sugar beach, black sand,
blue ocean. It's hot.

I can't... When? I can't just...

- take off with you to St. Lucia.
- Why not?

You're getting a divorce. It's official.

But I have kids, and my dad
just got out of the hospital.

Uh-huh.

And we're on tour.

You got a couple days off
from the tour after this show.

Mm-hmm.

And don't tell me you don't have someone

you can trust with your kids.

I thought you said you
wanted to live in the moment.

I do... would you just
stop throwing my words

- back in my face?
- Okay.

I'm thinking about it. All right.

Just say "yes."

Ohh.

Hey. Mm?

Perfectly acceptable dinner.

Yes, you spoil me.

A girl could get used to that.

Well, maybe you'd better,

'cause I told Juliette
that I am done with the tour

at the end of this leg.

What? Why?

You know what?

I have had enough crazy for two lifetimes.

I think it's time

I lived in the real
world for a little while.

Is that okay?

Thank you. Get back to work.

All the furniture's for sale, too.

So... do you love it?

I do.

What's wrong?

You're worried about
your mother, aren't you?

That was just very bizarre behavior.

Yeah, it was. We just
gotta keep an eye on her,

make sure she doesn't
relapse if she hasn't already.

Uh, I gotta take this.

The lying worries me, though.

Hello?

Em, what do you think of this mirror?

I think she likes it. Yeah.

It's nice.

- Uh, I'm not sure about the furniture.
- It's heinous.

But that's not why I called you over here.

How many square feet was the, uh, master?

She... she had asked me...

I would like to talk to this Esme.

Can we get her passes
to tomorrow night's show?

Yeah, of course.

That's good. That is good. Man! Whoo!

Oh, man.

Here's my number.

Call me.

What just happened?

I wish... I wish you could
see your face right now.

Wow. Man.

Excuse me. Hey, I'm Jack Nelson.

Hey.

You're the Jack Nelson who
worked with Lindi Ortega.

Will Lexington. How you doin'?

Listen, that performance tonight was great.

Thank you. That song was
amazing. Did you write it?

Uh, y-yeah, I did.

I'd love to lay it down as a demo.

Why don't you call me tomorrow?

I'll set it up.

Yeah, all right.

You know who that was?

Oh, man. Oh, my God.

Oh, man.

Wow.

Damn. Hey, are you gonna use this?

What do you think? No.

All right. That's what I figured.

Yeah, you go knock yourself out.

That was an incredible song.

Thanks, man.

Listen, I'm... I'm sorry about
what happened at the house.

I was... I was out of line

with you and Scarlett.

We weren't together then,
but we are now, so...

You hear she got a
record deal with Edgehill?

No. I hadn't.

Well... good luck with that song.

Daddy?

Yeah, I'm in here.

What happened here?

Oh, I was just... I'm just taking stock.

Gosh. What is all this?

Well, I didn't...
always approve of your choices,

but...

I still followed your career.

I didn't know that.

Watty told me about...

all that stuff with mom.

You know I had no idea

how difficult all that was for you.

Don't.

I had a lot of time to
think, laid up in that bed.

And now I... I see all this.

I wanna start all over with you.

Do you think we could do that?

I think that'd be nice.

Look at this.

Look at Tandy in that one.

I'm so happy you wanted to see me.

You okay?

You know, I thought we were,
uh, building something together.

We are.

Then why did you tell the
tabloids about my divorce?

You gonna deny it? I didn't mean to.

A reporter tricked me
into confirming the story.

I felt awful about it, and so I...

I didn't say anything about it.

Well, how do you think
he got the story, then?

I don't know.

I don't know. He...

You gotta believe me.

It felt wrong to hide it from you,

and then Lamar shows up and...

Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean, Lamar?

Isn't he the one who told you?

No.

What did he do?

Lamar told me that if I...

didn't talk you into
picking his stadium site,

that he would... he'd
tell you what I'd done.

And you weren't gonna tell me
about that either?

I didn't wanna hurt you.

Yeah, well, you did, and
you hurt my children, too.

Please.

I love you.

And you love me.

Yeah, well, it's not enough.

Please leave.

Please.

Leave.

Now.

Mornin'.

Hi. I missed you in bed last night.

Oh. Man, I got in so late.

I didn't want to wake you up.

So how'd the meeting with Rayna go?

Well, actually, I spoke to her, and...

she wants to give you another shot.

And I...

I didn't ask you to do that.

You didn't have to ask me to do that.

I love you, and I thought
it would be something

that you'd be excited about.

But, um...

I-I went and talked to
Rayna, and she said yes,

and I thought that was what we both wanted.

So do you wanna tell me what's going on?

Look, there was a time you'd
have asked me to do that,

and I'd have done it in a second
just to be onstage with you.

You know who you are as an artist,

you... your music,

the way you are onstage... you just know.

Me? I'm just figuring that out. But...

last night, I got up
onstage at Tootsies, right?

And I get up and I play,
and, hell, I loved it.

It just felt raw and... and real.

I've got some music I wanna be playing.

And that's...

not something we can be
doing together right now.

I just want you to be happy.

I am happy.

Of course I am.

Come here.

I think it looks good on you.

You do? Yeah.

Deacon!

Hey, man. Good to see ya. Hey!

Yeah, wow. I thought you got fired.

Yeah, but we made up in Atlanta.

That's right. Yeah.

How... how about you?

You still enjoying bubblegum
glitter time with, uh, Juliette?

Oh, every night's a joy.

This is my girlfriend Stacey.

Hi. Hi.

- This is, uh, Liam...
- Liam McGuinnis. Yeah, I know who he is.

What? I just said I don't
listen to country music.

Oh, I'm, uh, I'm sure
he doesn't deserve you.

It's a pleasure.

Nice. Thank you.

Hi. Hey.

Hey. Oh, hi. It's nice to see you.

Hi. Hi.

Nice to see you, too. How are ya? Good.

Wanna go see the stage? Yeah.

Okay, great. Let's go. Bye.

Bye. To the stage.
See y'all in a little bit.

Bye. Nice to meet you. Bye.

Hi.

So? What about St. Lucia?

Well, I get my girls back on Tuesday.

Okay. But I figure if we leave tomorrow,

we could have a nice,
long weekend in St. Lucia.

No, no, no.

This is my
place of work. Okay.

Gotta be professional.

Until tomorrow.

Hey, Juliette?

Hi. I'm Esme.

So, um, d-do you have any
questions about the house

or financing or...

Uh, actually, I had some questions

about your relationship with my boyfriend.

Well, he, um,

he basically saved my life.

Really?

I was at the end of the line, and he...

- He pulled me back.
- Oh...

'Kay.

Oh, wait. Are you...

Are you asking
if he and I were involved?

No. No, no. God, no.

He... he just helped me
out for a little while,

while I was at Riverside. That's it.

We're just friends, really.

He's totally not my type.

Not... dorky enough for me.

Yeah.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Oh, hey.

I, um, I got an invitation
from your girlfriend.

Well, if you had questions about
the house, I can handle that.

I think I got the answers
that I was looking for.

And you know what?

I will take the house.

Hell, furniture and all.

I'll have the check sent right over.

I'll... get ya the keys.

15 minute warning.

15 minutes till places, please.

Avery.

What are you doing here?

Uh...

workin'.

Needed a job.

Got this one.

Heard about all your success.

I'm really happy for you.

Thank you. Barkley!

Get back to work!

Enjoy the show.

What's going on here?

I canceled all of Lamar
Wyatt's city contracts.

Everything?

Yeah. Every last one of them.

He is not gonna get a single dime

off of that stadium or
any other Metro money.

Wait. Some of those contracts
were set up as a favor to me.

I know. I am aware of that. They're
servicing underprivileged areas.

They're... they're reduced rates.

And we can always negotiate those deals

with whoever takes over.

You're being impulsive here.

Cole, we're gonna figure it out, okay?

Now if you'll excuse me.

You know, she can't just
summon me and hold me here

like I'm a prisoner.

She just wants you to meet someone.

Hey, mama.

That's the woman that I
saw him kissing downtown.

That's the woman I was telling you about.

Mama, I know who she is, okay?

And I'm not concerned about her.

It's you I'm worried about. Me?

Yeah. Why are
you concerned with me?

I think you should go now. Yeah.

I saw him kissing her downtown.

Jolene, have you been using?

I mean, what... no. Excuse me?

Lies and manipulation.

I feel like you're on the edge
here. Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no.

I don't need an intervention here.

I'm not the one who's using anyone here.

- I'm not...
- Mom. Mom.

Get out of my stuff! This is how you act

right before you're about
to fall off the wagon.

Get out of my stuff! Or
when you already have.

Those are not mine. Really?

I don't know where they came from,
but they are not mine. Really?

After all that we've been through?

After all we've been through?
I haven't done anything, honey!

Those are not mine!

Are you kidding me? I-I-I think
we gotta get her back to Riverside.

Why do you think I'm lying to you?
Jolene, you have to go back to Riverside.

Stop lying. They're not mine!

This is... this... you have to do this, okay?
For once in your life, stop lying!

Thank you, Nashville!

I would like to just
give a big ol' shout out

to my producer and my lead guitar player,

Mr. Liam McGuinnis.

"Postcards from Mexico"!

That's an old one. Liam doesn't
know many of the old ones.

I know the cool ones!

I guess he does.

Nashville loves you!

songs you wrote together?

Yeah.

Daddy? It's late.

You're supposed to be recovering,

not working.

I spoke with Albert.

Teddy's canceled all our Metro contracts,

because you told him I had
Peggy Kenter on the line.

Teddy's been a part of
our family for 13 years.

I was showing him a little respect.

This is my company. It's not yours.

After everything
that's happened, I can't believe

that it was Rayna who was there for me.

What?

She's the one

who was holding my hand
when I woke up from surgery.

And she's the one...

who's not
acting like I've lost my edge.

Good night.

Um...

Hey.

What was that all about?

What?

You never came back.

Not gonna watch her whole
damn show.

You know when, um...

when you came to see me last week,

were you actually here to
see Rayna and her father

in the hospital?

I mean, I read the paper. I
know he had a heart attack.

I was there to see you.

I just stopped by to
see her on my way home.

I'm sorry. I should've told you that.

Do you still have feelings for her?

Yeah.

I told you we got this long
history, and I'm just...

I don't know if it's out of my blood.

I'm just... I'm trying,
though. I'm trying.

Yeah, well, I don't really
know what to do with that.

I mean, is it... are you
just wishing that she were here

instead of me?

It's not that. I'm here.

I'm here. I'm with you.
That's where I wanna be.

And I'm just trying to be
honest about it. I'm just...

Oh, yeah. That's good.
Now you're gonna be honest.

I'm just trying to make it work.

Isn't that enough for right now?

I don't know. I don't
really know.

Hey.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

Hey, come on.

Um... hey.

Can you...
Hey, come on.

No, can you just, like...
uh, can you just stop?

I just need a little...

time. Okay?

Just... great.

Hey.

Everything okay?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

No. No.

Come here.

What's the matter?

You.

I been trying forever to fight
this thing between you and me,

and, uh...

just when I think I get there...

You ready?

We're going to St. Lucia together, so...

you need to call Stacey and make it right.

Mm-hmm.

See you.

So... what are we doing here?

Daddy's recovering from his heart attacks,

but there are some changes
coming to the company.

Oh. So you, uh...

came to tell me he's retiring, huh?

No, of course not.

But I think that we both know

it's time for him to
take a step or two back.

And for you to take a...

a step forward, huh?

I would like to propose a new alliance...

one that's truly for the
betterment of Nashville.

The two us. Like old times.

Now we both know that Teddy is
the wrong person for this city.

- Oh. Tandy...
- And I think...

that if
you were to take a look

into his past...

you would think so, too.

And it might just help you,

if you ever need a little ammunition.

And what in particular
should I be looking at?

Maybe the Cumberland deal.

Bo got your mom back to her place.

The counselor's gonna stay
with her till tomorrow.

I really thought she was gonna
make it through this time.

I'm so sorry.

I don't know.

Hmm. What's the matter?

This is hydromorphone.

This...

- This can't be hers.
- How do you know?

Because she would stop
breathing if she took it.

She's allergic.

I learned the hard way when I was 10.

Where's Dante?

Uh...

Where is he?

Call him.

Sam? Have you seen Dante?

He picked up the walk-around money

about a half an hour ago,
said he was gonna pay the crew.

His phone is going straight to voice mail.

Call him again.

Are you miserable?

No.

This is a-a great opportunity.

I'm just...

making the best of it.

It's kinda nice to see
this version of you again.

Which version is that?

The boy I met at school.

I liked him.

I'm trying to get back to him.

What are you still doing here, anyway?

Wasn't quite ready to leave yet.

It's not every day I get
to be backstage at an arena.

You wanna be onstage?

Kinda cool, right?

Yep.

Hey. Hey.

Are you by yourself?

What's going on, Ray?

I was at home,

packing for St. Lucia,

and it just didn't feel right.

And I know you're trying
to move on with your life.

And I'm trying to move on with my life.

But...

I love you.

That's just never not been true.

Are you trying to kill
me? What are you doing?

Are you... two hours ago,

you were getting on an airplane with Liam.

You told me to get back
with Stacey. Yeah, I know.

Now you are standing right
here on my porch... yeah.

And you're telling me this now?

I love you. That is the truth.

And you can do with that what you will.

But I needed to let you know,

and so I did.

Hey.

Apart from tonight's walking around money,

there's another $475,000 missing
from your corporate account.

I think we should call the police.

No.

No, I don't want anybody
to know about this.

Will you call my mom

and just let her know

that she doesn't have to go back to rehab?

I don't... think I can do it.

What about this place?

What do you want to do?

I'm buying it.

Y-you don't have to.

I'm sure you can get out of it.

No, it'll be a good reminder

to never trust anybody.

What about that song
you played at Tootsies?

I never heard those lyrics before.

Mm.

My brother wrote 'em.

Found 'em in his journal, man.

He was the talent in the family.

And yet you told Jack
Nelson that song was yours.

Yeah. I did.

I don't know, man.

Ahh.

You know, I guess I...

I... I wanted to do it as a...

as a tribute?

And I just didn't know how to explain
that to Jack...

without gettin' dark.

Don't sweat it, man.

Scarlett pissed you
decided to stay in with me

instead of go out with her?

Probably. 'Cause we're being so productive.

Oh.

Well, you know, man?

Things have been gettin' pretty weird.

And I don't...

I-I don't know how to fix it.

I keep thinking maybe...

I just been kidding myself

thinking it was gonna last forever.

Does that sound... stupid to you?

No.

Good.

What the hell are you doing?

I just...

You need to... to get out, man.

Oh. I-I-I
didn't mean it.

Please, just get out. I-I didn't...

Whoa.

Just go. Just get out.

I'm sorry. Just go.

I'm going.
