Nashville (2012–2018): Season 5, Episode 1 - The Wayfaring Stranger - full transcript

Previously on Nashville...

- Looks like they're still a duo.
- Yeah.

But they are so fired.

You never know if
you'll get a second chance...

unless you take your chance.

To hear them singing together,

that's still the sweetest
damn sound in the world.

I was up on that roof because
I was trying to commit suicide.

But I was so messed up,
I didn't remember it happened.

We're still here.

Are you waiting for
Juliette Barnes to arrive?



- Yeah.
- We received a distress call.

We lost contact.

Fill it up, ma'am?

Yeah, thank you.

Can I get your autograph, Ms. Jaymes?

Sure.

- What's your name?
- Tommy.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

Would you keep playing, please?

Ain't got no voice no more.

You've got it.

Ask you to sing it with me,

but you're too young to know what it is.

It's "Wayfaring Stranger."



I'm gonna let you sing it, then.

I'd rather hear you sing it.

I'm at a plane crash. My God.

Near... near Dixon.

I don't know what the address is.
I'm in the middle of a field.

My God. I-I just saw the explosion.

Sweet Jesus. There's bodies.

There's two, three.

My God. Somebody's still alive.

You gotta send somebody right now.

It's okay. It's okay. Can you hear me?

You hear me? Help is on the way, okay?

It's coming. It's coming.

You know I'm gonna be right here.

I'm gonna be right here with you, okay?

I'm gonna be right here. Okay.

God.

Stay with me. Don't leave me now, okay?

Help is coming. They're gonna
be here any minute, okay?

Can you look at me? Keep looking at me.

Keep looking. Keep... keep
breathing. Keep breathing don't...

No, no, no. Stay with me. Okay? Okay.

Don't... don't go anywhere.
Don't go anywhere.

Stay with me, okay?
Stay with me. Stay with me.

Let's sing a song, okay?

This is my favorite song.
Goes like this, okay?

- They found her plane.
- What?

It... it crashed
20 miles away from here.

- My God.
- I gotta go.

I'll get the baby.

Hello?

Mom. Mom, Dad.

- What, sweetie?
- What is it, sweetie? What is it?

- What?
- Still trying to get as many

details as we can, Carla,

but as we've been reporting,
this was the plane

that Juliette Barnes was in
when she left Los Angeles.

Again, some of the first
responders told us

that the singer was the only
survivor on board.

Now, we are still waiting
on the press conference,

so there's no official word, but
as we understand, Juliette Barnes.

Got "GMA," "Today," CNN...

I'm still getting, like, 12 calls a day.
And that's not an exaggeration.

So whenever you wanna pull the trigger,
you just say the word, okay?

Honey, look, I-I know this is
probably the last thing

that you wanna think about right now,

but your fans wanna see you.

It's been three weeks, and...

It's just... everybody's
pulling for you.

That's the thing.

Thank you.

- Hi, my sweet girl.
- We are so glad you're coming home.

Aw.

How are you feeling today?

Which part of me?

I know it's hard to be patient.

At least your leg is healing well.

- How can you tell?
- We can see from the x-rays.

As opposed to my spinal cord.

I see you as one of the lucky ones.

At least your cord wasn't severed.

Shouldn't I feel more after three weeks?

- A toe's not a lot to go on.
- Let's see. Do your thing.

- You feel this?
- No.

Here?

- Here?
- No.

It's okay. A toe is actually
a lot to go on.

Two of your vertebra were shattered.

There's a lot of trauma to the nerve
that needs to repair itself.

It could be months before
you feel anything.

Or never.

Juliette, I get that you want to
prepare yourself for the worst.

But remember, these are nerve cells
that need to repair themselves.

Cells that go all the way up
into your brain.

And I don't believe that your brain

feeling hopeless about all this
is gonna help them very much.

Think good thoughts. It helps.

Damn, where's my phone?

- You looking for this?
- Thank you. Yes.

Come here.

I'm going to see Juliette today.

She was in a bad way
when I saw her Sunday.

It's so hard to see her like that.

I know she appreciates you being there.

How do you keep it upbeat,
but not seem horrified and...

and keep from crying
all at the same time?

Still working on that.

And then Maddie being so up in the air.

And I got some call from Bucky
about bad news.

I mean, it was just a day.

And why did I agree to do this gig?

- It's just one show.
- It's Silicon Valley.

I mean, what the hell do tech
guys know about country music?

What's his name? Jack Welles?

- Zach... Zach Welles.
- Zach Welles.

- Boogaroo.
- What is a Boogaroo?

Ask your daughters.

He sold it to Google for $2 billion.

- You're a dinosaur.
- I'm a dinosaur.

But you're a handsome dinosaur.
Thank you for that.

10 more reps. Come on.

What's the point?
My lower half is wasting away.

We'll get to that soon enough.
Just five more.

Hey.

Am I interrupting?

- Can I have a 2-minute break?
- Two minutes.

Hi.

You don't have to keep
coming here, you know.

I know.

- How are you feeling?
- Good.

Good.

I'm lucky.

That's what they keep telling me.

Well, I know you're gonna walk again.

How's your whole gang?

We're all good. You know, the usual.

Juliette...

It's okay.

Well, I just want you to know
that I'm... here for you.

I know. I mean,
I know you've got people.

You've got wonderful people.

I'm just here.

I'm really good.

You're amazing.

Everyone just needs
me to get better so bad.

It's like this pressure.

Well, it's 'cause they love you.

- Hey.
- I caused this.

What?

It was gonna happen.

You can't make a plane crash.

Not this. That's something else.

Me in this chair.
I knew it was gonna happen.

Don't think that way.

I messed everything up in my life,

and this is the result.

Hey.

We all mess things up.
You can't even imagine

the things I've messed up.

I was saved by an angel, you know.

I don't...

That's what I remember.

She came and sang to me.
She kept me alive.

That's beautiful.

See now if you were doomed,

why would an angel come
and save your life?

That's a good question.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Maddie is officially free
of Lennox Hill Records.

- Thank the good Lord.
- Yeah.

What'd it end up costing us?

- You really wanna know?
- Yeah.

$275,000.

That's the best we could do?

Well, it doesn't end there, I'm afraid.

You know, since The Exes were
kicked off Autumn's tour,

we can pretty much forget about
any momentum for their album

or hope of sponsorships.

And now I have to figure out
what to do with them.

And whatever it is,
it can't cost us any money,

because we don't have any.

Is there anything at all on the horizon

that might bring in some revenue?

Not unless you wanna call royalties
on your old albums revenue.

I suppose they'll pay the electric bill.

Are we in trouble?

I mean, we've been doing so great.

That sounds like we're in trouble.

Let's just call 'em bumps in the road.

Very big bumps.

Can't solve it tonight.

I'm not gonna get any sleep either.

Sweetie, listen.

We have each other, baby.
And we got this unbelievable family.

If the company fails
or if we lose this house,

or we lose it all, it's all right.
We got each other. We're blessed.

I don't wanna fail.

Well, who does?

But I also know you.

If it all falls, you'll pick yourself
back up, you'll dust yourself off,

and you just start chasing it again.

Just like the rest of us humans.

Who asked you?

I really... I think I'm on to something.

Honey. I can't wait to hear
it as soon as I get back.

Well, could I just play it for you now?

- It'll literally take three seconds.
- Car's here.

- She's trying to leave, you know.
- Shut up.

- But I don't have a chorus.
- Honey, it's beautiful.

You like it? I don't know why, though.

- I can't think of a chorus.
- Maybe you don't need a chorus.

No, I think it should be, like,
emotional, you know?

- Plaintive.
- The car's here.

We're discussing the need for a chorus.

Your father will be the perfect
person to help you with that.

- I could help you with it.
- No. I wanna do it on my own.

Then you will.
I wish I didn't have to go.

What's in Silicon Valley?

Bunch of rich people.

That's good. We could use the money.

The Boogaroo guy sent Mom a plane.

I don't even use Boogaroo anymore.

That's 'cause you have
no friends to keep track of.

Okay, I'm out of here. My love,
I leave you all the messes.

I will endeavor to clean them up.

I feel like I can't breathe.

I can barely breathe just looking at you.

I need my hugs.
Can't leave without my hugs.

- I love you so much.
- Love you.

All right, I love y'all.
I will miss you.

I'm gonna miss you.

Fly safe.

Fly very safe.

- Can I get you anything, Ms. Jaymes?
- No, thanks.

- Are you okay, Ms. Jaymes?
- Yeah. I'm good. I'm fine.

It's just a little turbulence.

- We'll be out of it in a minute, okay?
- Thank you. Thank you.

- Thank you very much.
- Sure thing.

Have a great day.

Hey.

I thought you was gonna call me?

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.

- You okay?
- I don't know. I don't know.

- Something happened on the plane.
- What happened?

Something inside me.
I-I just couldn't breathe.

I just felt completely... terrified.

Honestly, I felt like I was gonna die.

Panic attack.

You're lucky
you've gotten off this long.

Worst damn feeling in the world.

I know. You can't even think.

Baby, I'm so sorry
I wasn't there to help you.

You're so sweet.

You know what it's from, right?

That did not even occur to me.

Yeah. Makes perfect sense.

My Lord.

I've got about an hour until
I have to do this thing.

Okay, I've got to get myself together.

Go be amazing.

I love you.

Love you.

For the first time

since her accident three weeks ago.

As you know, Carla, there have
been persistent reports

that Juliette Barnes was paralyzed

in the private plane crash.

But so far, there has been
no official confirmation.

Angela, the fact that
she's in a wheelchair right now

that's not necessarily
a confirmation either, is it?

No, Carla, we know that one of
her legs was severely broken

along with other injuries.

But doctors tell me that it is
not at all uncommon

to come home in a wheelchair.

Well, we certainly hope
for her full recovery.

Hello, there, Ms. Jaymes.
Big fan. Jamie Halloran.

- Thank you. How you doin'?
- Wonderful, thank you.

- Good.
- Everyone can follow me.

- We have a green room set up for you.
- Thank you.

My God. She's here.

Hi.

- Hi. Zach Welles.
- Hi, Zach.

I'll take you to the green room.

Okay, so...

we have virtuous food, evil good food,

drinks across the spectrum
of self-destruction.

Whatever your hearts desire.
And if it is not here, I will get it.

That is amazing. Thank you.

I'm sure you're used to much better.

No. No, I'm not at all, actually.

Okay, I got... I gotta get
this out of the way.

I am an insane, out of control fanboy.

My mother used to listen to cassettes
of your early stuff, and I was hooked.

- Did I ever make a cassette?
- Yeah, I think, when you were 3.

Yes! Thank you.

Um, well, I'm a big fan of yours, too.

Although, I have to admit I've
never actually used your app.

- But your daughters have?
- Yes. They have, and they love it.

- They use it all the time.
- Well, great.

I'm the reason you're here,

so please blame me
if anything goes wrong.

And if you need anything,
please just ask.

And... thank you.

We are raising $1.5 million for
the fight against scleroderma, so...

Thank you.

And are there country music fans
in Silicon Valley?

I don't know.

I am. And, they're here for me.

- Holler if you need anything.
- Okay, thank you, Zach.

She finally fell asleep.

Good. Thanks.

- You hungry?
- No. Not yet.

Hey, I am so thankful that you're home.

You don't have to stay here, you know.

Why wouldn't I stay here?

Juliette, I love you.

Well, we'll see how you feel
in a few weeks.

How can you say that?

Because I'm honest.

Okay? And because I'm honest,

I'm gonna go to the bathroom now.

All right.

Okay, well, I'll... I'll help.

No, you will not help me.

I can do it myself.

Hey. Just watch.

- Then it just dies.
- It doesn't die there.

You just... You keep going.

It gets boring. No one will care.

You're just being hard on yourself.

Look, what is... it's the same
thing, just maybe like...

- And just lift it or something.
- Yeah.

- Yeah. Yeah, you hated that.
- Yes.

I didn't. I just think
it's a little too big.

- That's all.
- All right, Goldilocks.

That one's too big,
that one's too small.

- I'm sorry. It's hard.
- Yeah, duh.

Why didn't you do something
easier with your life?

- Why don't you?
- Maddie, listen to this.

Daphne, can you not see
we're working on something here?

- No, it's about that.
- No, we're working on my song.

When we're done,
we can work on your song.

I'm talking about your song.

I'm sorry.
I can't do everything with you.

My song is my song.

Your song isn't a song.
It's half a song.

Congratulations.

Was that really necessary?

I'm sorry.

Okay, well, don't tell me.

I'll talk to her later.

Whoo! Yeah!

- I am so sorry.
- It's okay.

Now we know the answer about
your Silicon Valley friends.

Yeah, I wanted to strangle
several of them personally.

You know what? Let me buy you a drink
to assuage my conscience.

Don't be sorry.
You don't have to be sorry.

Well, I know, but how often
do I get a chance

to hang out with Rayna Jaymes?

What is it? You okay?

I need you to take me somewhere.

- Now?
- Yes. Right now.

I'll call Emily.

She nursed that damn bird,

- and she fed it.
- Stop it.

- You built the bird a nest, Scarlett.
- I-I know.

Right? She stole her daddy's
heating lamp

- so she could keep it warm at night.
- I damn near set it on fire.

- Did the bird live?
- No. That bird died.

And she cried and cried.

And I will cry now if you don't
quit reminding me. Stop it.

It's good to see you two
back together again.

Can I play something I wrote?

Yeah, go for it.

That's... my... song!

- I know it's your song.
- You stole my song!

All right, come on.
All right, take it easy.

I didn't steal your song.
I was helping you with it.

- I didn't ask for your help, did I?!
- Maddie. Maddie!

And she was diagnosed when I was 14.

And I basically spent all of high school
taking care of her.

Being your mother's caregiver doesn't
do much for your social awkwardness.

Well, you don't seem
very socially awkward.

Well, that is very kind of you.

But, I'm actually incredibly shy.

But it was okay.

And by the time she died,
I was a bitchin' coder.

I'm sorry.

You lost your mother, too.

- Man, you know a lot about me.
- I told you. I'm a crazy fan.

I own one of Deacon's guitars.

- No.
- Yeah.

Yeah. I collect guitars once
owned by country greats.

- How many do you think I have?
- I don't know.

112 last count.

Yeah. Buck Owens, Roger Miller,

- Hank Williams, Johnny Cash.
- Whoa.

Yeah, I know what I like.

Hey. Let me ask you something.

Well, I've been busy, you know?

Trying to run a label was
more than I bargained for.

I don't believe that.

You don't believe I've been busy?

I don't believe that's why
you're not recording anymore.

So you know me so well

that you know why
I'm not recording anymore?

No, no.

I think...

You're amazing.

And I wanna hear
anything you wanna sing.

I'm not recording anymore because...

Because I don't have anything to say.

No way.

Listen, you're not in Nashville.

That world is changing so fast,

and it's everyone pressuring you

from all these different directions.

And this demographic
and that demographic.

And...

no revenue from streaming, you know.

I mean, I've worked so hard
to keep my label afloat,

I forget who I am as an artist.

What's the first country song
you ever loved?

Bill Monroe singing
"Wayfaring Stranger."

I was 11,

and I thought I would never
stop shivering.

- Greatest song ever.
- Yeah, I felt like that man

was just looking right into my soul

and seeing all the pain
and the loneliness

I was hiding from the world.
It was like he knew me, you know?

Maybe you need to find a way
to start shivering again.

- Hey.
- Hey, you.

Sorry to be so unsociable.

I'm so offended.

I know I was mean to Daphne.

That was my song, you know?

Like, why wouldn't she just
write her own song?

You know the reason for that.

I can't help it if things are
changing between us.

Did you like what she wrote?

It was okay.

It was better than okay.
It was beautiful.

That's the whole point.
She wrote it, and now I can't.

And it will never be my song anymore.

You know how many times I've been stuck

and then saved by somebody
who at that moment

could see stuff that I couldn't see?

Doesn't that make you feel terrible?

Baby, there is nothing more humbling
than trying to be a creative person.

You basically feel
like a failure all the time.

But when somebody picks me up
when I fall,

I feel like
the luckiest person on earth.

We call it collaboration.

Is this it?

I don't know.

What do you want me to do?

Get me out so we can look.

Will you please just
let me take you home?

- I need to see this.
- There won't be anything to see.

It's been weeks. They've cleaned it up.

I mean, how are we gonna
find it in the dark?

Get me out.

There you are.

- Hey.
- How you doing?

I'm so tired.

I bet you are. How'd it go?

- Not a country music crowd.
- I'm sorry, baby.

Honey?

Yeah?

I can't get on that plane tomorrow.

Sweetie. Come on now.

I know, I just... I just...

I-I don't know. I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

I don't know if I should drive or...

what, but I can't...
I just... I can't do it.

You giving into this panic, it's...

it's just the worst thing for it.

You just gotta tell yourself
you're gonna be fine

and just make yourself do it.
And I promise you,

if you give in,
your fear's gonna get worse.

It's not even a matter of that.

I just... I-I literally cannot...

do it.

And I just... I've... I've
never felt like this before.

Okay, you're real tired.
I'm gonna call you in the morning.

It'll be better then. I promise.

I'll talk you through it.

I think I need to just
pass out right now.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Will you please just let me?

I think it's over there.

Damn it!

Come on. Put your arms around me.

This can't be it.

I think it is.

There's nothing here.

- What'd you expect?
- I don't know.

I don't know.

I thought I was gonna die.

Why didn't I die?

Hey.

Room service.

I didn't order room service!

What are you doing here?

How did you get here?

Caught the last flight.

And I do mean "caught."

They closed that door
the second I climbed inside.

Why are you here, you crazy person?

'Cause my girl's in trouble.

I'm gonna get you on that flight.

I'm gonna get you in my bed, and
then we can talk about the airplane.

I was hoping that might be part of it.

Sorry I made you drive
all the way out here.

I-I get it.

I'd wanna see the place, too.

Can we go home now?

Please.

- You messed my hair all up.
- Yes, ma'am.

You don't even feel bad about it.

Not even a little.

Let's get you on that airplane.

I'm not gonna go on that plane, my love.

- Baby. Come on now.
- And it's not 'cause I'm scared.

You know, I was thinking
about it last night and...

I'm lost, Deacon.

There's so much coming at me
all the time,

and it's all stuff that I asked for.

And it's all stuff that I want
and I love,

but it's just relentless.

And I feel like I've given up
my life to it.

And everything that happened
with Juliette

is just reminding me
what I already know,

which is that none of this
lasts forever.

And I wanna make the most of it.

I can't do that until
I remember who I am.

So you wanna rent a car
and you wanna drive back?

I think I do, yeah.

And you wanna do it by yourself.

I'm sorry. Is that okay?
You came all the way out here.

It's okay.

I'm gonna worry about you, though.

Me, too.

I think that's why I need to do it.

Hey, you guys didn't have to stay over.

Well, had to make sure you two
didn't kill each other.

You guys didn't have to stay over.

We just like the free food.

Hey, Daph.

Daph.

Yes?

Can I hear what you wrote again?

Why? So you can yell at me again?

No. 'Cause I think I liked it.

You liked it?

Well, I'm not sure

'cause I didn't really
wanna listen to it...

which wasn't fair and I apologize.

So if you wouldn't mind,
I'd like to hear it again.

Can I make a suggestion?

Since Daphne wrote the chorus,
Maddie, if you start,

and then, Daph, you come in.

How do you know the words?

I listened.

I'm not... I'll wait here.

You want something? You want a smoothie?

Strawberry, please.

- Hi.
- Hi there.

I'll have one strawberry smoothie,
and, I'll have the peach.

- You got it.
- Thanks.

Hey, did you want...

What are you doing?

- Fill it up, ma'am?
- Yeah, thanks.

Can I get your autograph, Ms. Jaymes?

Sure.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- What's your name?
- Tommy.

- There you go.
- Thank you so much.

Would you keep playing, please?

Ain't got no voice no more.

You've got it.

Ask you to sing it with me,

but you're too young to know what it is.

It's "Wayfaring Stranger."

I'm gonna let you sing it, then.

I'd rather hear you sing it.

Don't care for singing?

I sing a little bit.

In the shower?

Yeah, in the shower.

You should let yourself sing.

Singing's good for the soul.

You might find the joy
you're lookin' for.

Why'd you say that?
