Nashville (2012–2018): Season 4, Episode 3 - How Can I Help You Say Goodbye - full transcript
Previously on "Nashville"...
Juliette?
We're gonna find your mama.
Let's get
you two a little closer.
You made your
feelings pretty clear...
not friends. Barely bandmates.
The truth is, I'm gay.
I'm sorry, son. I'm gonna have
to drop you from the label.
You're going to prison, Teddy.
You'd think they'd be
embarrassed to be out in public.
Their dad's, like, a total criminal.
I heard you singing to me.
I know you haven't left my side.
Mama?
Mama, wake up.

Wow, Maddie. That was fantastic.
Thank you, Mr. Sims. I didn't
know you were coming in today.
I had to check on my prized pupils.
Or should I say "pupil." Where's Daphne?
Everyone agrees
she threw the first punch.
Is that true?
Why'd you do that?
She deserved it.
Daphne.
Let's be honest... the reasons why
are no longer relevant
to the discussion.
Langhorne Academy has
a zero-tolerance policy
when it comes to fighting.
I'm very sorry, but as of this moment,
Daphne's suspended for three days.
Seriously? I've been
calling for four days.
Is Juliette even getting these messages?
Oh! Oh! Oh, hi, baby. Hey. Hey. Hey.
How can you say you don't
know? You're the tour manager.
You expect me to believe you
haven't talked to her all week?
Whoa, whoa. Hey. There she is.
Good morning, Cady.
Hey, for the last time,
her name is Cadence, okay?
Yeah, I'll hold.
What's with all the fussiness?
Talking about Avery or the baby?
Heard that.
- Uh... Diaper?
- I don't know.
Nope. All good.
Yeah, hello? Hello?
Look, if I had Juliette's cell number,
don't you think I'd be
calling it right now?
Just put her on the phone!
Dude, hang up. They're
not gonna put you through.
You know, as much fun as this is,
I think I'm gonna head
on over to Kevin's.
- Wait. I just made breakfast, man.
- Hello? Hello?!
They just hung up on me!
This is... this is unbelievable.
Hey... No, no, no, no.
You need to calm down,
take a couple of deep breaths, okay?
You know what? I'm
gonna go shower, all right?
What about the pancakes?
They're hot. They're fresh.
Aw.
Why am I the only one who's
ever in a good mood, huh?
What are you still doing here?
I thought you would have
gone home for the break.
Well, Colt and Sage are on
vacation with their mother,
so not much to rush
home to at the moment.
What about you? You heading home?
Ah, it's just a couple days off,
and the baby gets a little cranky
when I come and go like that, so...
Yeah, I get that.
Well, I'll see you around.
What are you gonna do?
Just kill some time?
I'm just gonna visit
a few of my favorite
Indianapolis landmarks.
We'll see ya.
Do you want some company?
For the most part, the
results are consistent...
pupils nonresponsive, no
reaction to pain stimulus.
There was a slight gag
reflex, but overall,
our findings indicate very
few brain-stem reflexes.
I'm sorry, but at this point,
we feel it's appropriate
to readdress the goals of care.
Readdress the...
What's that supposed to mean?
Mr. Claybourne, your sister has suffered
a devastating hemorrhage.
There's very little
brain-stem function left,
which means that her body is
being kept alive by machines.
And if we remove those machines,
we believe she will die within minutes.
All right, stop right there,
'cause she's been hooked
up to machines before,
and she came back.
I know how difficult this must be,
but there's nothing more we can do.
If you choose to keep your
mother on life support...
If? Did you really just...
Did you say "if"?
...she'll have to be moved to
a long-term nursing facility.
And even then, in my
professional opinion,
recovery is not likely.
It's not likely, but it's
not impossible, right?
I mean, can you tell me,
with absolute certainty over there,
- that my sister won't wake up?
- Of course not.
- In the medical profession, nothing's 100%.
- Then that's it. No.
We're not taking her off life support.
Mr. Claybourne,
I appreciate how you feel,
but, respectfully, it's not up to you.
It's up to Ms. O'Connor.
Excuse me?
You have the medical power of attorney
your mother signed before the surgery.
It's still in effect.
So the decision is
yours and yours alone.

So you're just saying my opinion
doesn't matter at all here?
Of course it matters. You're family.
The doctor's just got to follow the rules
and do things officially.
All right, fine... officially, then,
tell him that we're not
taking her off life support.
Scarlett.
Scarlett, no, baby.
Even the doc here himself...
he admitted that they can't
be 100% sure she's gone.
She came back once. She
can do it again, all right?
She just needs some time, baby.
Just time.
Is she in pain?
No, we don't think so.
But just because there's no pain
doesn't mean she's not suffering.
What the hell does that mean?
It means we could keep
her alive indefinitely,
but the likelihood of
a meaningful recovery
is very, very low.
However, if you choose to
let your mother go peacefully,
her death could have tremendous
meaning for so many families.
I don't have to tell you the
importance of organ donation.
Okay, look, you need
to back off right now.
- No, no, no. Wait.
- You understand me?
- Just...
- You back off.
What if she is not gone?
What if she is that one in a million?
Perhaps I can help you better understand
what we're up against.
There's something called an apnea test.
We would slowly take your
mother off life support
in a controlled environment
and see if she can take
a breath on her own.
It might help you with the decision.
Let's do it.
Of all the things I
thought might happen today,
you getting kicked out of
school for being in a fistfight
was not one of them.
You want to tell me what happened?
No.
Well, that's not gonna
be an acceptable answer.
You are gonna tell me what happened.
Did she come after you?
Was she harassing you?
Bullying you? What happened?
We're gonna get through this. We are.
But you're gonna have
to be honest with me.
She said Dad was a criminal
and that he's going to
jail for a long time.
And I tried to tell
her that he's innocent,
but she wouldn't stop.
I'm sorry, baby.
Why is dad in jail
when he didn't even do anything wrong?
I just want to see him.
I know.
Come on. Let's go, let's go.
I'm sorry, guys.
I don't know why she's so fussy today.
Here. Let me walk her for a bit.
You don't have to do that.
Please. I love Cadence.
And since I'm currently
being paid to do nothing,
it's the least I can do.
Wait. You're still on the payroll?
Do you have Juliette's new number?
Sorry. No.
I haven't seen or spoken to
her since she went on tour.
And yet, the paychecks still come.
So, seriously, anytime
you need help with Cadence,
I'm your girl.
Thanks.
Shh, shh, shh.
How you holding up?
Well, let's see, Glenn.
I've been abandoned by my wife twice.
My daughter no longer has a mother.
How do you think I'm doing?
Look, I've known Juliette longer
than anyone, and believe me...
I've seen her walk away plenty of times.
Sooner or later, she
always finds her way back.
Right. So what am I supposed to do?
Just sit by the phone, hope she calls?
Look, we both know this isn't her.
She's sick, remember?
You think I haven't tried
a dozen different ways to help her?
She doesn't want to get better, Glenn.
That's the problem.
It's okay, Cadence.
Emily, can you watch Cadence for me today?
Sure.
Okay, just take her back to my place
and wait for me there.
Okay.
What are you gonna do?
Something I should have
done two months ago.
Avery, look, wherever Juliette is,
I'm sure she's just as
miserable as you are.
Probably more.
Nice try, Danica, but you're
still 45 seconds off my mark.
So, this is really your
idea of a fun day off?
We are standing on America's
original motor speedway,
home of the Indianapolis
500 and the Brickyard 400.
What the Ryman is to country music,
this place is to racing.
This is a temple, and
we have come to worship.
And here, I thought we were
just driving around in circles
in a hot car in front
of an empty grandstand.
All right, forgetting for a moment
the piece of my soul that just died.
What's your idea of fun?
Tequila.
Yes, ma'am.
A bar... at noon on a weekday?
Not just a bar. It's a party.
You and I have very different
definitions of the word "party."
Just you wait.
Hey, Will. Come on in.
I'm sorry. I didn't
realize you were working.
I'll, I'll leave you be.
No. No, no, no. Stay. It's
just an impromptu thing.
Grab a guitar, join us.
I don't really want to
mess with the chemistry.
Besides, I'm guessing
I'm about the least-experienced
writer in this room.
Well, we were just
about to take a break,
so at least stay for lunch.
I'd love for my friends
to get to know you better.
Yeah, sure.
There's a message from your lawyer.
You need to call your ex-wife immediately.
Something about your kids.
Look, I supported the idea
of you not seeing the girls right away,
because Lord knows I don't love the idea
of them seeing their father in jail,
but things have gotten
out of control, Teddy.
- I need your help here.
- And... and say what?
What am I supposed to tell them?
Tell them the truth, Teddy. Come on!
Rayna, the truth is that I
pled "not guilty," remember?
And my attorney is confident
that I can beat this thing
if we just drag it out long enough,
wait... wait for the public
to lose interest.
Teddy, your daughters are
not gonna lose interest.
They need to see you.
They are being harassed
every single day.
They are asking me, "why
won't our daddy see us?
Does he not love us anymore?
Is he innocent? Is he guilty?"
I don't know what to tell them anymore.
You've got to talk to them.
Okay, I know, I know. And
I'm sorry. I really am.
But if you just can hang on
a little while longer, please.
No, I cannot hang on
for a little bit longer.
They want to see you, okay?
I've got to get the band finalized,
and Jessie's playing hard to get.
Look, I know you like the guy,
but he's not the only drummer in town.
I'll give him a call. We'll
make it work. I promise.
Okay. Fine.
Any word on when Scarlett will
be ready to get back to work?
What do you mean "get back to work"?
She called me a few days ago
and said she wanted to
put everything on hold
until she figured out
what's going on with her mom.
I assumed you knew.
But her mom's fine. She just...
She woke up five days ago.
Something must have happened since then,
because she was pretty upset.
I'm surprised she didn't call you.
Uh... Yeah, I mean, things have been
a little... Strange between us lately.
- "Lately"?
- Can you call her back
- and just try and get some more details?
- No, no, no, no.
The last thing I need is to get
involved in a game of telephone
between bandmates in
a strange relationship.
If you want to know more,
try talking to someone who knows more.
How much longer?
Oh, uh, just another minute or two.
Repeat blood gas, please.
You sure this is not hurting her?
You sure it's not...
Given the extent of neurological damage,
pain is unlikely.
And, of course, we've
pre-oxygenated her blood
to withstand the procedure.
This... this is all about
voluntary respiration.
There hasn't been any respiration.
Exactly.
There.
You see that?
She took a breath... right there.
Mama?
Come on, now! That... it's right there!
- That is a breath! She took it.
- No. I'm afraid it's not.
- It... it...
- At best, it's an involuntary response to the...
- No. No, no, no. Okay? No.
- I'm sorry. Truly, I am.
- But... but the blood-gas levels alone...
- Mama, I love you.
- ...would be enough to confirm the clinical diagnosis.
- Scarlett, she breathed, baby. She's fighting.
We have a dozen other test results.
I don't give a damn about
your tests, all right?!
You don't know her! I know her!
This is my sister, and
she is trying to breathe!
She's a fighter!
Stop, stop, stop. Just...
Scarlett.
Scarlett.
Okay.
Mr. Barkley. Welcome.
Have a seat.
So, what can I do for you today?
I, I want to divorce my wife.
Hey. I've been trying to reach you.
I finally went up to your mom's room,
but you weren't there.
Sorry. I got a lot going on.
I know.
I talked to Dr. Sugrue.
What can I do to help?
Tell me miracles don't happen.
Tell me my mama's never coming back,
she's gone for good.
I'm sorry, Scarlett.
I can't... make this decision for you.
If... if I were to tell you,
"yes, take her off life support,"
before you yourself were really ready,
you might always wonder if that
was really the right decision.
And you might even resent me
for making you do something
that you weren't really ready to do.
You need to find the answer yourself.
You need to be sure.
You're right.
You're right. I have
to do this on my own.
- Scarlett...
- I'm all right.
I'm okay.
Well, if what you say is true,
it seems like a clear
case of abandonment.
Now, I don't think
we'll have any trouble
getting a favorable settlement.
And you're entitled to
alimony, child support.
I could probably even
secure rights to the house,
since you were living there
at the time of the marriage.
All I want is full
custody of our daughter.
Well, that might be a little trickier.
The legal system is still
generally biased towards the mother
when it comes to custody.
If your wife chooses to fight it...
She won't.
Come on. Do a shot with me.
Nah, I think I'm just
gonna stick with beer.
Oh, my God. Have you always
been this much of a fuddy-duddy?
I got to loosen you up. Come on.
- No. No, no, no, no, no.
- Yes. Yes, yes, yes!
- Juliette, come on. No.
- Yes!
Excuse me!
Excuse me!
Not tonight. Not tonight.
Come on. Please. For me?
What's up, Indianapolis?!
What are we doing?
Hit it, boys!

Margaritas are up.
- Ooh, I'll take one.
- You got it.
You know, you
really should join us.
I heard some of the songs
you wrote with Kevin.
It's good stuff, man.
I appreciate that,
but... I promise you,
I couldn't have done it alone.
Well, you're not alone here.
Seriously, man, sit in.
I'm taking a little bit of...
of a break from music right now.
Yeah, we noticed.
And by "we," you mean...
Hey, Jill, you want to take
another look at that bridge?
Still isn't feeling right to me.
Sure. We can do that.
Dad!
Hey, squirt.
Boy, did I miss you.
What... no hug for your old man?
- Maddie.
- It's... it's okay.
How you doing?
Hear you got in a little
trouble at school, huh?
Dad, I had to. She was
saying stuff about you.
Well, you know, sweetheart,
I appreciate you
standing up for me, I guess,
but I can take care of myself, okay?
There's nothing you need to do.
When are you coming home?
I don't know. I wish I knew.
We just, we just
got to be patient, okay?
No, Dad. You didn't do anything wrong.
Just tell them, Dad! Tell
them you didn't do it!
- It's not that simple, honey.
- Yes, it is!
Daphne, it's okay, sweetheart.
It's not okay!
Dad, you're not a criminal!
Why are you here?!
You shouldn't be here!
You should be home with us!
Okay, stop.
Sweetheart...
Dad.
Daph...
Listen to me.
You can stop defending me now.
Did you really...
Did you really do all those things?
I'm so sorry.
- I'm sorry, baby.
- I want to go home!
- Honey.
- Honey, please.
Sweetheart.
- I want to go now!
- Daphne, Daphne, Daphne.
I hate you!
Sweetheart. Sweetheart.
Come here, come here.
Hey, Will? Can you lend us an ear?
We need an objective opinion.
Sure.
I don't know, Kev.
Seems like Will's the kind of guy
who goes out of his way
not to weigh in on things.
- Jill, come on.
- No. No.
You got something to
say, you should say it.
What's your problem?
My problem is, I've
been working 10 years
to combat homophobia in
the country-music scene,
and finally, someone
like you comes along,
a bona fide country-music
star, and what do you do?
Nothing.
Just hiding out, hoping
folks will forget you're gay.
All right, you don't know
what you're talking about.
And for the record,
I don't owe anyone anything.
Oh, the hell you don't!
You could reach more
people in five minutes
than I could in my entire career.
Okay, that's it. Everybody pack it up.
Jill, you too.
Yeah, that's about right.
Going gets tough, the tough go silent.
What are you d...
What are you doing?!
You can't just go and
rip up our scrapbooks!
This is... this is our family!
This is our history!
You don't just go ripping up pictures!
I don't care how angry
you are! It's your father!
He is not my father!
I'm here.
I'm still here.
I won't let anything happen to you.
I promise.

It's all right.
Whoo!
Mr. Wheeler!
Mr. Wheeler!
Hey, come on, come on. I got you.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna
have to ask you two to leave.
We are way over our legal capacity,
and someone's gonna get hurt.
I'm right there with you,
but there's no way in hell
we're getting out the front.
Should I call the police?
No.
No, that won't be good
for anybody's reputation.
Listen, you got a... an office
or a basement or something
we can hide out in long enough
for you to tell folks we're gone,
maybe clear the place out?
Yeah. But we need to
go through the kitchen.
Here I come!
Okay.
Plan "B"?
It's hard, because Deacon's so sure.
He's not wrong.
I mean, miracles do
happen. I know they do.
But the... the doctors are real sure, too.
Craziest thing about all this
is that there were so
many times growing up
mama would go away and I'd
pray she wouldn't come back.
Who does that?
Prays their own mama disappears?
It's terrible.
Scarlett, this isn't your fault.
God didn't just somehow
magically answer your prayer
20 years later.
All those bad feelings,
we wasted so much time
being angry at each other.
And I don't know why I
didn't forgive her sooner.
You loved your mother.
Despite everything, you still love her.
Why else would you be so
mad at her for so long?
It's 'cause she mattered.
What if I make the wrong choice?
You're the wisest, most level-headed,
empathetic person I've ever met.
And if you believe it's
the right thing to do...
That's good enough for me.
I mean, who the hell
does she think she is?
She doesn't know me.
Like it's up to me
to solve country music's
problem with gay artists.
What? What aren't you saying?
She's not wrong.
You could be an important
voice for the community.
There it is again,
that word... community.
"The cause," "us," "we."
I didn't sign up for that.
All I did was tell the
truth about some photos
at a press conference... that's it.
Oh, come on, Will.
Are you really that naive?
You're a public figure who came out.
There's an expectation
that comes with that.
Yeah, but it's nobody's damn
business who I sleep with.
You're right! It isn't!
And one day, it won't matter,
but right now, it does.
So, yeah, we have to
stand together as a group,
because that's the only way
things are ever gonna change.
So, what? I'm supposed to be
some sort of poster boy now?
"Will Lexington, gay cowboy"?
Is that what you want?
It doesn't matter what I want!
It's how the public already sees you.
And yeah, that sucks,
which is why things have to change.
Avery. Hi.
What the hell are you playing that for?
Cadence wouldn't go down for her nap,
so I thought music might help.
I remembered I had your
lullaby on my phone,
and... Worked like a charm.
See?
Sorry. It's been a tough day.
What's this?
Yeah.
Are you sure about this?
Come on, Em.
You're not shocked, right?
This is Juliette Barnes
we're talking about...
The most selfish, immature,
unreliable person on the planet.
I mean, honestly, what
the hell was I thinking?
How could I ever believe that
she actually wanted a family?
It's crazy.
I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to lay all this on you.
I really appreciate you
helping me out today.
Yeah, well, I meant what I said...
Anytime.
You know, Avery...
I understand that you're angry,
and I even understand
you wanting to punish
Juliette for what she's done,
but make no mistake...
She wanted that baby.
And she wanted you.
I've made the decision.
We are ending life support
and we are donating mama's organs.
- Scarlett...
- I know it's not what you want to hear,
but I need you with me on this.
I need you beside me.
I can't do it on my own.
How can you ask me that?
How can you ask me?
You shut me out? You go
against my wishes here?
It's not easy, Deacon,
but we have to let her go.
No.
We don't.
We can let her live.
We can give her time.
Time for what?
Even if, in 10 years'
time, she wakes up,
she's not going to be her anymore.
She's not going to be able
to walk or talk.
She's not going to know who we are.
She won't even know who she is.
And I know you don't want that for her.
There are things that
are worse than death.
How do you know? Huh? How
do any of us know that?
She was supposedly
in a coma for a month,
but she told me she
heard me singing to her.
All right? She knew I was there.
How do you know she's not
just as aware right now?
How do you know she doesn't know
every damn thing that's going on here,
including what you're planning,
and she's not just
saying, "don't do it"?!
She is my mother! And I love her!
I don't want this. I want her to live.
Then let her live.
That's not living.
And I know you feel guilty.
I know you feel that if she dies,
it is your fault...
that you killed her...
and it's not true.
This is not your fault.
This is a terrible, terrible tragedy.
And the best we can do now is
make her death mean something.
She can save so many lives,
just like she saved yours.
But every moment counts.
So we have to let her go now.
It's happening tomorrow at noon.
Please be there.
Please. I need you.
I can't do it alone.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
Look, I know you're right.
And no, I'm not that naive.
I'm just...
Scared.
I mean, this is all so new.
Six weeks ago, I...
I would have done
anything to keep my secret.
And since then, the only thing
I've managed to do as a gay man
is get kicked off my label.
Not exactly a great message
to bring home to the community.
I haven't stepped up to a mic
'cause I don't know what to say.
I don't know what I want. I
don't know where I'm going.
I don't even know how
I feel half the time.
And it's... it's just all so...
Confusing.
But there's... there's
one thing I'm sure of,
and that's this... us.
I know that I love you.
Can that just be enough for now?
Absolutely.
Hi.
We wanted to come back and talk to you,
'cause... things got a
little out of hand yesterday,
and we've been talking a lot about...
Telling the truth and being honest.
Well, I had something I wanted to say.
I wanted to say thank you.
For what?
For being a great husband...
...and a great father to these girls.
Thank you for always being
there for us, 'cause you were.
Every soccer game, every scraped knee,
family dinners.
You kept the home fires burning
when I was out on the road
so often.
You made us feel safe.
You were strong and steady.
And you made a few
mistakes recently. You did.
But that does not change
all those years, Teddy,
of us being a family.
And we're gonna always be a family.
And family forgives.
I love you, Dad.
Oh, I love you.
I love you more than
anything in the world.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no, no, no.
Honey.
I'm the one who's sorry.
I let you all down.
I don't know what
happened, but I just...
I just sort of forgot who
I was there for a while.
Thanks for reminding me.
Listen, I spoke to my
attorney, and...
...I'm gonna plead guilty.
Are you staying in jail?
Yeah, baby. I am.
Actions have consequences.
But I promise you...
when I get out of here,
I'm gonna make things right.
I'm gonna work night and
day to earn your trust again.
I'm gonna... I'm gonna
be someone you can be p...
you can be proud of again.
Just... just promise me one thing.
Y'all aren't gonna forget
me while I'm in here, okay?
We could never forget you.
You're our dad.
Thank you.
Hey. Morning.
Coffee?
Yes, please.
How'd you sleep?
Seeing as how I had the bed,
I'm guessing a whole
lot better than you.
Sorry about that.
Think I got a little carried away.
How much do you remember?
Singing, dancing...
Did you stuff me in a suitcase?
It was a road case.
The band was kind
enough to loan them to us
so the manager could sneak us out.
You had to sneak me out in a box?
Yeah, maybe next time,
we just, stick to driving racecars?
You know, Juliette,
you may not believe it,
but, back in the day,
I'd have given you a run
for your money last night.
That so?
Hell yes. I was you, and then some.
I mean, let's face it,
when you're young...
what do they say?
Fame is a seductive mistress?
You better believe it.
Trouble is...
I had a wife and two kids at home.
I know I don't always
speak kindly of my ex,
but, I was the one
who screwed that up.
I just made her feel like
second choice, I guess.
So she left, took the kids.
I stayed out on the road.
Part of me was actually relieved,
till I finally woke up
and, you know, realized what I lost.
By that time, I had
missed half my kids' lives.
Well, you've seen us.
At the launch party, we
were one big, happy family.
Yep, yep... right up
until you disappeared.
Now you got time off.
Instead of going home,
you chose to get wasted
with 500 of your closest strangers.
I'm not judging you...
not by a long shot.
I just don't want to see you
make the same mistakes I did.
I can't even imagine what
you're going through, babe.
I'm here for you.
And the girls are.
And you know Scarlett is, too.
Scarlett.
I don't want to see a...
A rift divide y'all.
You're gonna need each
other now more than ever.
Why don't you go to the hospital?
I can't, baby.
I can't be there while they...
It isn't right.
Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. I...
I don't know.
But I know
that you're gonna want to
say goodbye to your sister.
I'll go with you.
No, you stay here.
Hey, hey, hey. It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
Shh. Daddy's here. It's okay.
Shh.
Okay, okay.
Come on. Shh.
Come on. Shh.
It's okay. It's okay.
Okay. Wow. You look like hell.
Lucky for
you, I brought breakfast!
Well, it is the most
important meal of the day.
It's time.
Mama, I love you.
Forgive me.
Okay.

Juliette?
We're gonna find your mama.
Let's get
you two a little closer.
You made your
feelings pretty clear...
not friends. Barely bandmates.
The truth is, I'm gay.
I'm sorry, son. I'm gonna have
to drop you from the label.
You're going to prison, Teddy.
You'd think they'd be
embarrassed to be out in public.
Their dad's, like, a total criminal.
I heard you singing to me.
I know you haven't left my side.
Mama?

Wow, Maddie. That was fantastic.
Thank you, Mr. Sims. I didn't
know you were coming in today.
I had to check on my prized pupils.
Or should I say "pupil." Where's Daphne?
Everyone agrees
she threw the first punch.
Is that true?
Why'd you do that?
She deserved it.
Daphne.
Let's be honest... the reasons why
are no longer relevant
to the discussion.
Langhorne Academy has
a zero-tolerance policy
when it comes to fighting.
I'm very sorry, but as of this moment,
Daphne's suspended for three days.
Seriously? I've been
calling for four days.
Is Juliette even getting these messages?
Oh! Oh! Oh, hi, baby. Hey. Hey. Hey.
How can you say you don't
know? You're the tour manager.
You expect me to believe you
haven't talked to her all week?
Whoa, whoa. Hey. There she is.
Good morning, Cady.
Hey, for the last time,
her name is Cadence, okay?
Yeah, I'll hold.
What's with all the fussiness?
Talking about Avery or the baby?
Heard that.
- Uh... Diaper?
- I don't know.
Nope. All good.
Yeah, hello? Hello?
Look, if I had Juliette's cell number,
don't you think I'd be
calling it right now?
Just put her on the phone!
Dude, hang up. They're
not gonna put you through.
You know, as much fun as this is,
I think I'm gonna head
on over to Kevin's.
- Wait. I just made breakfast, man.
- Hello? Hello?!
They just hung up on me!
This is... this is unbelievable.
Hey... No, no, no, no.
You need to calm down,
take a couple of deep breaths, okay?
You know what? I'm
gonna go shower, all right?
What about the pancakes?
They're hot. They're fresh.
Aw.
Why am I the only one who's
ever in a good mood, huh?
What are you still doing here?
I thought you would have
gone home for the break.
Well, Colt and Sage are on
vacation with their mother,
so not much to rush
home to at the moment.
What about you? You heading home?
Ah, it's just a couple days off,
and the baby gets a little cranky
when I come and go like that, so...
Yeah, I get that.
Well, I'll see you around.
What are you gonna do?
Just kill some time?
I'm just gonna visit
a few of my favorite
Indianapolis landmarks.
We'll see ya.
Do you want some company?
For the most part, the
results are consistent...
pupils nonresponsive, no
reaction to pain stimulus.
There was a slight gag
reflex, but overall,
our findings indicate very
few brain-stem reflexes.
I'm sorry, but at this point,
we feel it's appropriate
to readdress the goals of care.
Readdress the...
What's that supposed to mean?
Mr. Claybourne, your sister has suffered
a devastating hemorrhage.
There's very little
brain-stem function left,
which means that her body is
being kept alive by machines.
And if we remove those machines,
we believe she will die within minutes.
All right, stop right there,
'cause she's been hooked
up to machines before,
and she came back.
I know how difficult this must be,
but there's nothing more we can do.
If you choose to keep your
mother on life support...
If? Did you really just...
Did you say "if"?
...she'll have to be moved to
a long-term nursing facility.
And even then, in my
professional opinion,
recovery is not likely.
It's not likely, but it's
not impossible, right?
I mean, can you tell me,
with absolute certainty over there,
- that my sister won't wake up?
- Of course not.
- In the medical profession, nothing's 100%.
- Then that's it. No.
We're not taking her off life support.
Mr. Claybourne,
I appreciate how you feel,
but, respectfully, it's not up to you.
It's up to Ms. O'Connor.
Excuse me?
You have the medical power of attorney
your mother signed before the surgery.
It's still in effect.
So the decision is
yours and yours alone.
Synced & corrected by kinglouisxx

So you're just saying my opinion
doesn't matter at all here?
Of course it matters. You're family.
The doctor's just got to follow the rules
and do things officially.
All right, fine... officially, then,
tell him that we're not
taking her off life support.
Scarlett.
Scarlett, no, baby.
Even the doc here himself...
he admitted that they can't
be 100% sure she's gone.
She came back once. She
can do it again, all right?
She just needs some time, baby.
Just time.
Is she in pain?
No, we don't think so.
But just because there's no pain
doesn't mean she's not suffering.
What the hell does that mean?
It means we could keep
her alive indefinitely,
but the likelihood of
a meaningful recovery
is very, very low.
However, if you choose to
let your mother go peacefully,
her death could have tremendous
meaning for so many families.
I don't have to tell you the
importance of organ donation.
Okay, look, you need
to back off right now.
- No, no, no. Wait.
- You understand me?
- Just...
- You back off.
What if she is not gone?
What if she is that one in a million?
Perhaps I can help you better understand
what we're up against.
There's something called an apnea test.
We would slowly take your
mother off life support
in a controlled environment
and see if she can take
a breath on her own.
It might help you with the decision.
Let's do it.
Of all the things I
thought might happen today,
you getting kicked out of
school for being in a fistfight
was not one of them.
You want to tell me what happened?
No.
Well, that's not gonna
be an acceptable answer.
You are gonna tell me what happened.
Did she come after you?
Was she harassing you?
Bullying you? What happened?
We're gonna get through this. We are.
But you're gonna have
to be honest with me.
She said Dad was a criminal
and that he's going to
jail for a long time.
And I tried to tell
her that he's innocent,
but she wouldn't stop.
I'm sorry, baby.
Why is dad in jail
when he didn't even do anything wrong?
I just want to see him.
I know.
Come on. Let's go, let's go.
I'm sorry, guys.
I don't know why she's so fussy today.
Here. Let me walk her for a bit.
You don't have to do that.
Please. I love Cadence.
And since I'm currently
being paid to do nothing,
it's the least I can do.
Wait. You're still on the payroll?
Do you have Juliette's new number?
Sorry. No.
I haven't seen or spoken to
her since she went on tour.
And yet, the paychecks still come.
So, seriously, anytime
you need help with Cadence,
I'm your girl.
Thanks.
Shh, shh, shh.
How you holding up?
Well, let's see, Glenn.
I've been abandoned by my wife twice.
My daughter no longer has a mother.
How do you think I'm doing?
Look, I've known Juliette longer
than anyone, and believe me...
I've seen her walk away plenty of times.
Sooner or later, she
always finds her way back.
Right. So what am I supposed to do?
Just sit by the phone, hope she calls?
Look, we both know this isn't her.
She's sick, remember?
You think I haven't tried
a dozen different ways to help her?
She doesn't want to get better, Glenn.
That's the problem.
It's okay, Cadence.
Emily, can you watch Cadence for me today?
Sure.
Okay, just take her back to my place
and wait for me there.
Okay.
What are you gonna do?
Something I should have
done two months ago.
Avery, look, wherever Juliette is,
I'm sure she's just as
miserable as you are.
Probably more.
Nice try, Danica, but you're
still 45 seconds off my mark.
So, this is really your
idea of a fun day off?
We are standing on America's
original motor speedway,
home of the Indianapolis
500 and the Brickyard 400.
What the Ryman is to country music,
this place is to racing.
This is a temple, and
we have come to worship.
And here, I thought we were
just driving around in circles
in a hot car in front
of an empty grandstand.
All right, forgetting for a moment
the piece of my soul that just died.
What's your idea of fun?
Tequila.
Yes, ma'am.
A bar... at noon on a weekday?
Not just a bar. It's a party.
You and I have very different
definitions of the word "party."
Just you wait.
Hey, Will. Come on in.
I'm sorry. I didn't
realize you were working.
I'll, I'll leave you be.
No. No, no, no. Stay. It's
just an impromptu thing.
Grab a guitar, join us.
I don't really want to
mess with the chemistry.
Besides, I'm guessing
I'm about the least-experienced
writer in this room.
Well, we were just
about to take a break,
so at least stay for lunch.
I'd love for my friends
to get to know you better.
Yeah, sure.
There's a message from your lawyer.
You need to call your ex-wife immediately.
Something about your kids.
Look, I supported the idea
of you not seeing the girls right away,
because Lord knows I don't love the idea
of them seeing their father in jail,
but things have gotten
out of control, Teddy.
- I need your help here.
- And... and say what?
What am I supposed to tell them?
Tell them the truth, Teddy. Come on!
Rayna, the truth is that I
pled "not guilty," remember?
And my attorney is confident
that I can beat this thing
if we just drag it out long enough,
wait... wait for the public
to lose interest.
Teddy, your daughters are
not gonna lose interest.
They need to see you.
They are being harassed
every single day.
They are asking me, "why
won't our daddy see us?
Does he not love us anymore?
Is he innocent? Is he guilty?"
I don't know what to tell them anymore.
You've got to talk to them.
Okay, I know, I know. And
I'm sorry. I really am.
But if you just can hang on
a little while longer, please.
No, I cannot hang on
for a little bit longer.
They want to see you, okay?
I've got to get the band finalized,
and Jessie's playing hard to get.
Look, I know you like the guy,
but he's not the only drummer in town.
I'll give him a call. We'll
make it work. I promise.
Okay. Fine.
Any word on when Scarlett will
be ready to get back to work?
What do you mean "get back to work"?
She called me a few days ago
and said she wanted to
put everything on hold
until she figured out
what's going on with her mom.
I assumed you knew.
But her mom's fine. She just...
She woke up five days ago.
Something must have happened since then,
because she was pretty upset.
I'm surprised she didn't call you.
Uh... Yeah, I mean, things have been
a little... Strange between us lately.
- "Lately"?
- Can you call her back
- and just try and get some more details?
- No, no, no, no.
The last thing I need is to get
involved in a game of telephone
between bandmates in
a strange relationship.
If you want to know more,
try talking to someone who knows more.
How much longer?
Oh, uh, just another minute or two.
Repeat blood gas, please.
You sure this is not hurting her?
You sure it's not...
Given the extent of neurological damage,
pain is unlikely.
And, of course, we've
pre-oxygenated her blood
to withstand the procedure.
This... this is all about
voluntary respiration.
There hasn't been any respiration.
Exactly.
There.
You see that?
She took a breath... right there.
Mama?
Come on, now! That... it's right there!
- That is a breath! She took it.
- No. I'm afraid it's not.
- It... it...
- At best, it's an involuntary response to the...
- No. No, no, no. Okay? No.
- I'm sorry. Truly, I am.
- But... but the blood-gas levels alone...
- Mama, I love you.
- ...would be enough to confirm the clinical diagnosis.
- Scarlett, she breathed, baby. She's fighting.
We have a dozen other test results.
I don't give a damn about
your tests, all right?!
You don't know her! I know her!
This is my sister, and
she is trying to breathe!
She's a fighter!
Stop, stop, stop. Just...
Scarlett.
Scarlett.
Okay.
Mr. Barkley. Welcome.
Have a seat.
So, what can I do for you today?
I, I want to divorce my wife.
Hey. I've been trying to reach you.
I finally went up to your mom's room,
but you weren't there.
Sorry. I got a lot going on.
I know.
I talked to Dr. Sugrue.
What can I do to help?
Tell me miracles don't happen.
Tell me my mama's never coming back,
she's gone for good.
I'm sorry, Scarlett.
I can't... make this decision for you.
If... if I were to tell you,
"yes, take her off life support,"
before you yourself were really ready,
you might always wonder if that
was really the right decision.
And you might even resent me
for making you do something
that you weren't really ready to do.
You need to find the answer yourself.
You need to be sure.
You're right.
You're right. I have
to do this on my own.
- Scarlett...
- I'm all right.
I'm okay.
Well, if what you say is true,
it seems like a clear
case of abandonment.
Now, I don't think
we'll have any trouble
getting a favorable settlement.
And you're entitled to
alimony, child support.
I could probably even
secure rights to the house,
since you were living there
at the time of the marriage.
All I want is full
custody of our daughter.
Well, that might be a little trickier.
The legal system is still
generally biased towards the mother
when it comes to custody.
If your wife chooses to fight it...
She won't.
Come on. Do a shot with me.
Nah, I think I'm just
gonna stick with beer.
Oh, my God. Have you always
been this much of a fuddy-duddy?
I got to loosen you up. Come on.
- No. No, no, no, no, no.
- Yes. Yes, yes, yes!
- Juliette, come on. No.
- Yes!
Excuse me!
Excuse me!
Not tonight. Not tonight.
Come on. Please. For me?
What's up, Indianapolis?!
What are we doing?
Hit it, boys!

Margaritas are up.
- Ooh, I'll take one.
- You got it.
You know, you
really should join us.
I heard some of the songs
you wrote with Kevin.
It's good stuff, man.
I appreciate that,
but... I promise you,
I couldn't have done it alone.
Well, you're not alone here.
Seriously, man, sit in.
I'm taking a little bit of...
of a break from music right now.
Yeah, we noticed.
And by "we," you mean...
Hey, Jill, you want to take
another look at that bridge?
Still isn't feeling right to me.
Sure. We can do that.
Dad!
Hey, squirt.
Boy, did I miss you.
What... no hug for your old man?
- Maddie.
- It's... it's okay.
How you doing?
Hear you got in a little
trouble at school, huh?
Dad, I had to. She was
saying stuff about you.
Well, you know, sweetheart,
I appreciate you
standing up for me, I guess,
but I can take care of myself, okay?
There's nothing you need to do.
When are you coming home?
I don't know. I wish I knew.
We just, we just
got to be patient, okay?
No, Dad. You didn't do anything wrong.
Just tell them, Dad! Tell
them you didn't do it!
- It's not that simple, honey.
- Yes, it is!
Daphne, it's okay, sweetheart.
It's not okay!
Dad, you're not a criminal!
Why are you here?!
You shouldn't be here!
You should be home with us!
Okay, stop.
Sweetheart...
Dad.
Daph...
Listen to me.
You can stop defending me now.
Did you really...
Did you really do all those things?
I'm so sorry.
- I'm sorry, baby.
- I want to go home!
- Honey.
- Honey, please.
Sweetheart.
- I want to go now!
- Daphne, Daphne, Daphne.
I hate you!
Sweetheart. Sweetheart.
Come here, come here.
Hey, Will? Can you lend us an ear?
We need an objective opinion.
Sure.
I don't know, Kev.
Seems like Will's the kind of guy
who goes out of his way
not to weigh in on things.
- Jill, come on.
- No. No.
You got something to
say, you should say it.
What's your problem?
My problem is, I've
been working 10 years
to combat homophobia in
the country-music scene,
and finally, someone
like you comes along,
a bona fide country-music
star, and what do you do?
Nothing.
Just hiding out, hoping
folks will forget you're gay.
All right, you don't know
what you're talking about.
And for the record,
I don't owe anyone anything.
Oh, the hell you don't!
You could reach more
people in five minutes
than I could in my entire career.
Okay, that's it. Everybody pack it up.
Jill, you too.
Yeah, that's about right.
Going gets tough, the tough go silent.
What are you d...
What are you doing?!
You can't just go and
rip up our scrapbooks!
This is... this is our family!
This is our history!
You don't just go ripping up pictures!
I don't care how angry
you are! It's your father!
He is not my father!
I'm here.
I'm still here.
I won't let anything happen to you.
I promise.

Listen, I know I shouldn't be here...
It's all right.
Whoo!
Mr. Wheeler!
Mr. Wheeler!
Hey, come on, come on. I got you.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna
have to ask you two to leave.
We are way over our legal capacity,
and someone's gonna get hurt.
I'm right there with you,
but there's no way in hell
we're getting out the front.
Should I call the police?
No.
No, that won't be good
for anybody's reputation.
Listen, you got a... an office
or a basement or something
we can hide out in long enough
for you to tell folks we're gone,
maybe clear the place out?
Yeah. But we need to
go through the kitchen.
Here I come!
Okay.
Plan "B"?
It's hard, because Deacon's so sure.
He's not wrong.
I mean, miracles do
happen. I know they do.
But the... the doctors are real sure, too.
Craziest thing about all this
is that there were so
many times growing up
mama would go away and I'd
pray she wouldn't come back.
Who does that?
Prays their own mama disappears?
It's terrible.
Scarlett, this isn't your fault.
God didn't just somehow
magically answer your prayer
20 years later.
All those bad feelings,
we wasted so much time
being angry at each other.
And I don't know why I
didn't forgive her sooner.
You loved your mother.
Despite everything, you still love her.
Why else would you be so
mad at her for so long?
It's 'cause she mattered.
What if I make the wrong choice?
You're the wisest, most level-headed,
empathetic person I've ever met.
And if you believe it's
the right thing to do...
That's good enough for me.
I mean, who the hell
does she think she is?
She doesn't know me.
Like it's up to me
to solve country music's
problem with gay artists.
What? What aren't you saying?
She's not wrong.
You could be an important
voice for the community.
There it is again,
that word... community.
"The cause," "us," "we."
I didn't sign up for that.
All I did was tell the
truth about some photos
at a press conference... that's it.
Oh, come on, Will.
Are you really that naive?
You're a public figure who came out.
There's an expectation
that comes with that.
Yeah, but it's nobody's damn
business who I sleep with.
You're right! It isn't!
And one day, it won't matter,
but right now, it does.
So, yeah, we have to
stand together as a group,
because that's the only way
things are ever gonna change.
So, what? I'm supposed to be
some sort of poster boy now?
"Will Lexington, gay cowboy"?
Is that what you want?
It doesn't matter what I want!
It's how the public already sees you.
And yeah, that sucks,
which is why things have to change.
Avery. Hi.
What the hell are you playing that for?
Cadence wouldn't go down for her nap,
so I thought music might help.
I remembered I had your
lullaby on my phone,
and... Worked like a charm.
See?
Sorry. It's been a tough day.
What's this?
Yeah.
Are you sure about this?
Come on, Em.
You're not shocked, right?
This is Juliette Barnes
we're talking about...
The most selfish, immature,
unreliable person on the planet.
I mean, honestly, what
the hell was I thinking?
How could I ever believe that
she actually wanted a family?
It's crazy.
I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to lay all this on you.
I really appreciate you
helping me out today.
Yeah, well, I meant what I said...
Anytime.
You know, Avery...
I understand that you're angry,
and I even understand
you wanting to punish
Juliette for what she's done,
but make no mistake...
She wanted that baby.
And she wanted you.
I've made the decision.
We are ending life support
and we are donating mama's organs.
- Scarlett...
- I know it's not what you want to hear,
but I need you with me on this.
I need you beside me.
I can't do it on my own.
How can you ask me that?
How can you ask me?
You shut me out? You go
against my wishes here?
It's not easy, Deacon,
but we have to let her go.
No.
We don't.
We can let her live.
We can give her time.
Time for what?
Even if, in 10 years'
time, she wakes up,
she's not going to be her anymore.
She's not going to be able
to walk or talk.
She's not going to know who we are.
She won't even know who she is.
And I know you don't want that for her.
There are things that
are worse than death.
How do you know? Huh? How
do any of us know that?
She was supposedly
in a coma for a month,
but she told me she
heard me singing to her.
All right? She knew I was there.
How do you know she's not
just as aware right now?
How do you know she doesn't know
every damn thing that's going on here,
including what you're planning,
and she's not just
saying, "don't do it"?!
She is my mother! And I love her!
I don't want this. I want her to live.
Then let her live.
That's not living.
And I know you feel guilty.
I know you feel that if she dies,
it is your fault...
that you killed her...
and it's not true.
This is not your fault.
This is a terrible, terrible tragedy.
And the best we can do now is
make her death mean something.
She can save so many lives,
just like she saved yours.
But every moment counts.
So we have to let her go now.
It's happening tomorrow at noon.
Please be there.
Please. I need you.
I can't do it alone.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
Look, I know you're right.
And no, I'm not that naive.
I'm just...
Scared.
I mean, this is all so new.
Six weeks ago, I...
I would have done
anything to keep my secret.
And since then, the only thing
I've managed to do as a gay man
is get kicked off my label.
Not exactly a great message
to bring home to the community.
I haven't stepped up to a mic
'cause I don't know what to say.
I don't know what I want. I
don't know where I'm going.
I don't even know how
I feel half the time.
And it's... it's just all so...
Confusing.
But there's... there's
one thing I'm sure of,
and that's this... us.
I know that I love you.
Can that just be enough for now?
Absolutely.
Hi.
We wanted to come back and talk to you,
'cause... things got a
little out of hand yesterday,
and we've been talking a lot about...
Telling the truth and being honest.
Well, I had something I wanted to say.
I wanted to say thank you.
For what?
For being a great husband...
...and a great father to these girls.
Thank you for always being
there for us, 'cause you were.
Every soccer game, every scraped knee,
family dinners.
You kept the home fires burning
when I was out on the road
so often.
You made us feel safe.
You were strong and steady.
And you made a few
mistakes recently. You did.
But that does not change
all those years, Teddy,
of us being a family.
And we're gonna always be a family.
And family forgives.
I love you, Dad.
Oh, I love you.
I love you more than
anything in the world.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no, no, no.
Honey.
I'm the one who's sorry.
I let you all down.
I don't know what
happened, but I just...
I just sort of forgot who
I was there for a while.
Thanks for reminding me.
Listen, I spoke to my
attorney, and...
...I'm gonna plead guilty.
Are you staying in jail?
Yeah, baby. I am.
Actions have consequences.
But I promise you...
when I get out of here,
I'm gonna make things right.
I'm gonna work night and
day to earn your trust again.
I'm gonna... I'm gonna
be someone you can be p...
you can be proud of again.
Just... just promise me one thing.
Y'all aren't gonna forget
me while I'm in here, okay?
We could never forget you.
You're our dad.
Thank you.
Hey. Morning.
Coffee?
Yes, please.
How'd you sleep?
Seeing as how I had the bed,
I'm guessing a whole
lot better than you.
Sorry about that.
Think I got a little carried away.
How much do you remember?
Singing, dancing...
Did you stuff me in a suitcase?
It was a road case.
The band was kind
enough to loan them to us
so the manager could sneak us out.
You had to sneak me out in a box?
Yeah, maybe next time,
we just, stick to driving racecars?
You know, Juliette,
you may not believe it,
but, back in the day,
I'd have given you a run
for your money last night.
That so?
Hell yes. I was you, and then some.
I mean, let's face it,
when you're young...
what do they say?
Fame is a seductive mistress?
You better believe it.
Trouble is...
I had a wife and two kids at home.
I know I don't always
speak kindly of my ex,
but, I was the one
who screwed that up.
I just made her feel like
second choice, I guess.
So she left, took the kids.
I stayed out on the road.
Part of me was actually relieved,
till I finally woke up
and, you know, realized what I lost.
By that time, I had
missed half my kids' lives.
Well, you've seen us.
At the launch party, we
were one big, happy family.
Yep, yep... right up
until you disappeared.
Now you got time off.
Instead of going home,
you chose to get wasted
with 500 of your closest strangers.
I'm not judging you...
not by a long shot.
I just don't want to see you
make the same mistakes I did.
I can't even imagine what
you're going through, babe.
I'm here for you.
And the girls are.
And you know Scarlett is, too.
Scarlett.
I don't want to see a...
A rift divide y'all.
You're gonna need each
other now more than ever.
Why don't you go to the hospital?
I can't, baby.
I can't be there while they...
It isn't right.
Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. I...
I don't know.
But I know
that you're gonna want to
say goodbye to your sister.
I'll go with you.
No, you stay here.
Hey, hey, hey. It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
Shh. Daddy's here. It's okay.
Shh.
Okay, okay.
Come on. Shh.
Come on. Shh.
It's okay. It's okay.
Okay. Wow. You look like hell.
Lucky for
you, I brought breakfast!
Well, it is the most
important meal of the day.
It's time.
Mama, I love you.
Forgive me.
Okay.
