Nashville (2012–2018): Season 5, Episode 4 - Leap of Faith - full transcript

This is randall st. Clair.

He'll be our new social media.

And digital marketing man.

Ms. Jaymes,
I'm your biggest fan.

You sold it to google
for $2 billion?

Zach welles. Hi.

I had the idiotic notion.

That I could do something
in the music business.

I was hoping we could meet up.

We got to look
for a place together.

The keep telling you
to be patient.



I'm sick of being patient.

I'm never gonna get better.
Don't say that.

She just peed on my legs,
and I felt it.

You can go further.
I can take it. Aah!

Okay.

It's okay, baby.
Mama's all right.

I got her. Come here, baby girl.

Did you remember
to take your oxycodone.

Before we started this morning?

Right.

We can't do our best work.

If you're in too much pain.

I'm not. I swear.

I think I could do something
even more advanced.



Maybe next session.

I just feel like I'm lying here.

All the time like a lump.
I know it's frustrating.

But you got to crawl
before you can walk.

Not literally. Good.

You just regained sensation.

You can't put any weight on this.

Until the fixator comes off.

Okay, but I saw
something online.

There's a device
that they put people in.

Where they can walk without
gravity or something like that?

It's not exactly
without gravity.

You're thinking of a device
that redistributes weight.

I don't care!
Just get me in one!

I mean, I would appreciate.

If I could try it out.

The clinic does have one,
but it's really for patients.

Who are further along
in their recovery.

How much further along?

Let's just focus on
where you're at right now.

Yeah.

I think I found it.

I just came from
a place on greenwood.

It's gorgeous in person.

Is that the one with the gym?

No, that's the big complex
near hadley park.

But we crossed that
off the list.

I thought we agreed we didn't
want to be that far west.

Right.

You're gonna love it.

I made an appointment
to go back on friday.

Hey, don't go back to sleep.

What, were you up partying
all night?

No. I had a gig.

Well, why didn't you tell me?

You don't have to come
to every show I play.

What if I want to?

You hate those loud clubs.

I don't hate them.
I just don't like them.

I figured it'd be better.

If we spend time
doing things we both enjoy.

Like what?

Hey, will, you seen my keys?

No!

I can't wait for you
to get out of here.

See, that's just so beautiful.

I know. We can't
afford her, though.

I know. We can't afford.

The first 10 directors
on our list.

Hey, randall?

Yes? Hey, I just wanted to say

I love what you did
with the exes' site,

All the graphics and everything
on the new single.

It's so cool.

My gosh. Thank you.

Yeah. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely. I will.

He just seems terrified of me.

I think he's just
eager to please.

I don't know.
I can't watch these anymore.

It's too depressing.

I mean, what do you want to do?

You want to tell scarlett
and gunnar we can't do a video?

No. I mean,
I think we keep looking.

We'll find somebody who's young
and hungry and cheap.

By the way, I'm gonna see
scarlett and gunnar.

This weekend at the bluebird.

With zach welles, incidentally.

Your new best friend.

Well, you know all my best
friends are billionaires.

Why don't you ask him.

If he's got 100 grand
laying around someplace.

He wouldn't mind us
using on the video?

Yeah.

Why would you tell someone
they're not ready?

Isn't it her job
to be encouraging?

I'm sure she didn't
mean it that way.

I should call tom ericson. Who?

The medical director.

Who asked me to send
the poster for his daughter.

He runs the whole place.

You sure you want
to go over her head?

You don't have to do that.

I'm not doing anything.

No. I mean cut the crust off.

Well, I know that's
how you like it, so...

But, really, it's fine.

Okay. Better eat fast.

Emily's coming by
to drive you to psych.

I canceled my appointment.

All the shrink wants
to talk about is the crash.

I don't feel like
reliving it every week.

Yeah, but you can't just not go.

I mean, it's your treatment.

Well, shouldn't I have
some say over my treatment?

Of course.

Okay, well, I'd like to spend
the little energy that I have.

On things
that are more important.

Like getting out of that chair.

Right. Sorry.

What?

What?

You have a look on your face.

This is just my face.

I guess I never noticed.

I'm gonna go check on cadence.

Tell me again why we gotta
wine and dine this dude.

Well, we don't have to,

But, you know,
he's in nashville,

And he's interested in
the country music business.

Or is he interested in you?

Please. He's 12 years old,

And I've made it very clear.

That you and I together
are taking him out.

Seems like he's a little odd.

In all these articles, they talk
about the off-beat entrepreneur,

Like that's his thing
or something.

Well, it's probably accurate.

You know, he's a nice guy.

Seems smart. I don't know.

I don't know what?

He is a big fan
and he's got a lot of money.

You're thinking maybe
he'll be able to help.

The company a little bit.

I think that sometimes, yes.

And then I think
it's guys like him.

And the whole digital world.

That have screwed up
the country music business.

In the first place.

Then you think
about the money again.

Shut up.

Kevin, it's 10 a.M.

I'm here. Where are you?

I'm so sorry.
I got called in to work.

On that song
with kacey musgraves.

Well, should I reschedule?

No, no. You go.
I've already seen it.

Okay.

And I told the guy
that we were roommates.

What?

You never know what
peoples' biases are gonna be.

They can decide not to rent
to you for any reason,

And I didn't want
to give them one.

Yeah, well,
if they're homophobic,

Why would we even
want to live here?

Hardwood floors,
underground parking,

Incredible views.

Kevin?

Hey, I got to go. Okay.

Hi. I'm frank.
You must be kevin.

No, actually,
I'm his... Roommate.

All right. Well, come on in.

Let's show you around.

Floor to ceiling windows,
fireplace, of course.

There is the second bedroom,
or study if you'd like.

By the way, the kitchens here
are amazing for entertaining.

And last but not least,
we have the master bedroom.

What a view?

Picture waking up to that
every single morning.

Taking a shower
in the master bath.

Going into the kitchen.

Making pancakes.

Yeah, I can really picture it.

Okay, I know exactly
what you're thinking.

What's the catch?

No, that's
not what I was thinking.

No, it all seems great.

And it is great.

Did I mention it comes
fully furnished?

Yeah? Yeah.

You have got to try
this sleep number bed.

It is beyond comfortable.

Wow.

Yeah, the thing is,
I'm not sure it's really...

What you're looking for?

Exactly.

Well, what are you looking for?

That's a good question.

Well, no pressure.

But just so you know,
there is a lot of interest.

Yeah? Yeah.

The neighborhood's
really hot right now.

Some great restaurants,
clubs in the area,

If you like to go out.

Yeah, I do.

Well, think it over.

I live in the building,
so I'm always available.

If you want to come back
with your roommate.

Right.

Well, I should...

Yeah, sure. Well,
you have my number, so...

Yeah.

I'd love to have you
in the building.

Now, don't be disappointed
if you don't get very far.

It's normal since you're doing
this way ahead of schedule.

Well, the medical director.

Doesn't seem to think
it's too soon.

Yeah, he's got
all those degrees.

I just work with people.

Okay, you are fully supported,

So you don't have
to worry about falling.

The harness will automatically
lock and catch you.

I'm gonna be right here
beside you the whole time.

You ready to take
your first step?

Hell, yes.

Okay, let's do it.

Try to walk.

You can do it.

Does it hurt?

Want me to help lift your foot?

No.

Just remember to breathe.

Trust that
you're not gonna fall.

Juliette. I can't breathe!

It's okay.

I can't breathe!
It's okay. You're okay.

I'm gonna get your chair.

I don't know
what's wrong with me.

You went through
something terrifying.

You're still processing it.

That's what flashbacks are.

It's your mind
trying to protect you.

How'd you know
that's what it was?

I was in
my own kind of accident.

I mean, not exactly like yours,

But I know that it's easy.

To get so focused
on fixing your body,

You forget that your soul
needs to heal, too.

So how long is it gonna last?

When am I gonna be
back to normal?

I wish I had a good answer.

It's gonna take time.

Well, thank you
for not saying I told you so.

You thought
I was gonna say that?

I don't know.
You seem so... Tough.

I thought you seemed
pretty tough, too.

Hey, you weren't ready
today, but you will be.

There he is.
Welcome to nashville.

Thank you so much.
So cool to be here.

Yeah. This is deacon, zach.

How you doing? My god.

I cannot believe
I'm shaking hands.

With deacon claybourne.

No, I feel like I know you
from your songs,

Although you probably
get that all the time.

24/7.

How was your flight in?

Pretty chill.
We stopped off in jackson hole.

To surprise my cousin
for his birthday.

Fun. Yeah.

Megan's here. There's the mayor.

Megan? Hey, you look amazing.

It's so good to see you.

I'm hoping it's cool
I invited her to join us.

You guys know each other, right?

Of course. Hey.
Good to see you guys.

You, too. They're starting.

How do you know zach?

We met at a benefit.

You know, I'm not surprised.

He knows everybody.
He really does.

It's that time.

Please put your hands together.

For scarlett o'connor
and gunnar scott,

The exes.

Whoo! Whoo!

Hey, y'all.

It is such a pleasure
to be here tonight.

Thank you for coming.

It's a real special night
for us,

'cause this stage
is where we really started.

And my sweet family is here.
I love you guys.

So let's get to it.

Beyoncé turns to me.

And says as nicely as possible,
"it's no biggie,

But it's pronounced hermes."

Whenever you are ready,
mr. Welles.

Thank you. No, no, no!

It's already done.

My gosh. Thank you.

Thank you for gracing us
with those epic pipes.

Thank you again.

Well, we should probably
get going, right?

Yeah. It's delightful
to meet you both.

Likewise, man.

Really nice to have met you.

Mwah.

Beautiful as always.

Talk to y'all soon, okay? Bye.

See you, guys. Bye, guys.

Wow. They are phenomenal. Yeah.

What's your plan for them?

We're trying to put together
a music video.

We just have to find
a really great director.

Totally. This has been
such a great night.

Thank you, guys. Thank you.

Okay, look,
this might sound crazy,

But I'm just gonna say it.

I see an opportunity.

And I would like to explore it
with you, with highway 65.

I've reached a point in my life.

Where I only want to do things
that I'm passionate about,

And I do not want
to waste any time.

And I got this instinct
about you, the company and me,

I think it could make
a good marriage.

So if you are interested,
let's talk.

The guy has spent like
three hours with you total.

Well, he also says.

That he's been obsessed
with our music for years.

He said he feels
like he knows us.

So he decides to go
in business with you.

Just based on this feeling
he's got?

That's it? What's in it for him?

He said he wants
to do what he loves.

And that's enough?

You think he got his billions
by doing what he loves?

Honey, I have no idea.

I hope he did.
I would respect that.

I think it's worth
hearing him out.

You really didn't like him,
did you?

It's not that I didn't like him.

I mean, he's a nice enough guy
and everything.

But it's just
a little weird, that's all.

I agree. It's a little weird.

I'm not even sure I want to
go into business with him.

But the idea of
actually having some money.

For my business is exciting.

Come here.

"Make a good marriage."

That was a figure of speech.

Psst. Hey.

I'm not here.

Okay.

Hey. Hey, man.

Hey, will around?
No. He left earlier.

Damn it. I've been trying
to reach him all day.

Yeah.

Is that his phone?

Well, maybe he is here.

Hey!

So you are alive.

I texted you like 12 times.

Yeah, sorry. My phone was dead.

So what did you think?

About what?

About the controversy
surrounding stem cell research.

About the apartment.
Did you love it?

It was fine.

Just fine?

Well, I don't know.

Can I get to the...

So what's wrong with this one?

Nothing.

Clearly there's something.
No, it was great.

Then why do you look like that?

I woke up with a headache.

Penguin.

I'll start filling out
the application, okay?

And then you can fill in
your part.

Cool.

Best ribs in the city.

Thank you for meeting me here.

I was starving.

Yeah, of course.
I love this place.

Okay, so I just keep thinking.

What you've built here
is so special,

So pure of intent, the way
you put the artists first,

It should be protected.

And I know you're struggling.

Like everyone else
in the industry,

So here's my pitch.

I lay out a certain amount
of money each year,

Enough to keep you afloat,

To keep investing
in new artists.

In exchange, I get 20%
of the company.

Now, you still make
all of the decisions.

I just have the right
of consultation,

And I ask that you consider
the advice of my team.

Which doesn't mean
that you have to take it.

I mean, if this didn't work
for whatever reason,

Either of us could end it
with 90 days notice.

Because I only want
to be in business.

With people who want to be
in business with me.

Good philosophy.

Yeah. That's it.

If you will let me,
I think I can help highway 65.

Flourish in the way
it deserves to.

It's an interesting proposition.

You have a little sauce
right on the...

Other side. Yeah, yeah.

Thank you.
Yeah, see? You get it.

When you have money,

No one tells you when
you have sauce on your face.

Aah!

Juliette?!

I'm fine. No, that's okay.

Don't touch me!
I can do it myself!

Okay. Okay.

Here, let me get you a pill.

No. No. No.
Avery, it's not that bad.

You haven't been
taking them, have you?

I can't.

Juliette.

I can't rely on a drug.

To get me through
the pain, okay?

I've been through that.

You want to go through that
again?

You want cadence
to go through that?

Look, we've been through this.

The doctor said as long as
your dosage is monitored...

Yeah, that's easy
for her to say.

I'm the one
who has to live with myself.

You have no idea what it's like
to want to escape,

To be so tempted to take them.

Look, I know it's not easy,

But I also know
that you can't get better.

Unless you take what
the doctor prescribed you.

It's my decision, okay?

I might not be able to do
anything for myself,

But I sure as hell can keep
myself off those pills!

Listen, I am trying to help you.

Stop! Stop helping!

It makes me... I hate it!

And we both know
you don't want to do it!

What?

Come on! Just admit it!

You feel obligated!

Like it's your job
to take care of me!

What are you talking about?

That is not how I feel!

That's how anyone would feel!

God, you are such
a pain in the ass!

You know that? And don't worry.

It has nothing to do
with you being hurt.

Because you've been like this
since the day I met you.

You just push people away,

Because god forbid
you might ever need anyone!

What?

The listing went down.

They must have given it
to someone else.

How did we not get it?

You sent the application
monday, right?

Yeah.

Damn.

You know, that place
wasn't that great anyway.

The bathroom was cramped,

And the kitchen
kind of had a weird smell.

Did you notice that?

No. I thought
it was pretty perfect.

Sorry.

Yeah, I'm just disappointed.

I know.

Well, back to craigslist.

You don't have to come in
with me.

No, it's no big deal, really.

No. I mean, I don't want you to.

I'm sorry. I just
got to do this by myself.

Well, hello.

Sorry to interrupt.

I just wanted you to know.

That I was here just in case
you'd like to talk.

Okay.

Wait.

Actually, never mind.

Well, you might as well ask
just what you want to ask.

It's what I'm here for.

I hardly ever do this.

Do what?

Pray.

You want to pray?

Yeah, but I don't know how to.

There's no way how, no one way.

It's just a conversation
between you and god.

How do I start?
What am I supposed to do?

There's nothing to do.

Just say what you feel.

I just have one question.

Why me?

Why me and not the other people
on that plane?

It's not 'cause
I'm a better person.

I don't understand.

I'm lost.

Help me, please?

Hello?

Rayna. Hey, it's zach welles.

Hey, zach.

Listen, it just hit me.

I got the perfect director
Damien george.

Damien george?

Yeah, his movie with
j-law just fell apart.

I don't think damien george.

Is gonna want to do
a music video, zach.

You have no idea
the favor this guy owes me.

He was two weeks into shooting
"night dogs".

When the bond company...

Look, that's so generous of you,

But I just think...

No, seriously, they
were gonna shut him down.

I mean, they came to set...

I just think we have to
slow it down a little bit.

I mean, I'm still considering
your proposition.

Right, of course you are.

Sorry. This is what happens
when I get excited.

I get ahead of myself.

Hey, listen, I want you to know

I'm honestly not trying
to pressure you.

Or influence
your decision in any way.

I respect you too much
for that crap.

Well, I appreciate it.

Yeah, and this damien thing,

It has nothing to do
with our deal.

Or lack thereof.

You could say no right now
and I'd be totally willing.

To hook you up with damien
no strings attached.

Thank you. Well, I'm gonna
keep thinking about all of it.

And you have a good time,

And I'll see you
when you get back here.

Sweet. See you later.

Bye.

What's all this?

I don't know.

It's been a while
since we got one of these.

You remember that woman
who sent you her socks?

Sure was easy to keep
your address private.

Before the internet.

Well, this didn't even
come through the mail.

It didn't have a stamp on it
or anything.

Which means they were here.

I don't know.

This stuff
makes me nervous these days.

I know. I mean,
chances are he's harmless,

But if it makes you feel better,

You might want to beef up your
home security just in case.

I mean, I don't think you
should lose any sleep over it.

Better to lose sleep.

Over what's gonna happen
with the label.

Nice.

Don't worry. I'm losing sleep
over that too, bucky.

Any closer to making a decision?

I don't know.

I just can't help but think
this whole thing with zach.

Is just too good to be true.

Yeah, well, sometimes those
things turn out to be true.

You did.

What? You think
I should do it now?

Well, I was listening
to him on the phone,

And I started thinking maybe
this is right, you know.

Maybe we should just
accept our good fortune.

Just not before
we talk to sheila, though.

Of course, I'm gonna have
a lawyer look at the contract.

I have a feeling she'll find
a million loopholes.

That are just gonna
screw us over.

What if she doesn't?

Well, if she doesn't,

Then we're just gonna
have to make damn sure.

That zach and I want
the same thing for the label.

It sure would help us
make this album of ours.

It's a visual love letter.

To a woman
so electric and alive,

She can't be contained.

She's messy, she's passionate.

She's feeling
everything at once.

You got all that from the song?

The song's just
the jumping off point.

It's like a dream.

I'm seeing this wild creature.

Who doesn't know
how to be in the world,

And the man who loves her,

Who wants to hold onto her,
but can't.

And it's set in one of those
grand sweeping mansions,

This sort of backdrop
of old world propriety.

I'm a terrible person.

No, you're not.

Well, you have to say that

'cause you're my friend.

You did the right thing
in a way.

I mean, you knew
if you stayed in that place,

You'd always be tempted.

Yeah, but it's not
just that guy.

It's guys on the street,
at my gigs,

At the atm just now.

Being tempted
isn't the same thing.

As following through with it.

Yeah, but I can't
stop thinking about it.

I keep thinking.

What would life be like
with someone else?

Sounds like you have fomo.

What'd you call me?

Fomo.

Fear of missing out.

Which makes sense.

You know, he's your first
real relationship.

It's not like you been
with a lot of dudes.

Yeah, but I never
even cared about that.

All I wanted was to be with him.

He does this thing.

We saw in a documentary
about penguins.

They touch foreheads.

That's how they kiss.

That's nauseating.

Yeah, I know.

I just gotta focus
on what's real.

Me and him.

You know,
once we're living together.

And we're with each other
every day,

It's gonna be different.

Will, listen,

I can't tell you
if you should stay with kevin,

But I can tell you that never
in the history of the world.

Has moving in together
made things easier.

Believe me, it only gets harder.

And if you love the person,
then it's worth it.

But it will test you more
than you ever thought possible.

I'm such an ass
going on about this.

You got real problems.

Well, I didn't come out tonight.

To talk about my problems.

Yours are a welcome distraction.

I just don't know if it's normal.

Or if it means something more,

Like... Maybe we're not
meant to be together.

You got to figure out
what you want.

I mean, what you actually want,

Not what you think you should.

If you'd like to add.

Don't tempt me.

The other day...
Listen, juliette...

I'm sorry.

No, you go.

I'm just sorry.

I shouldn't
have yelled like that.

You were right about me,

About why I hate
being like this, helpless.

You're not helpless.
You know what I mean.

I don't want to need you,
but I do.

I always have.

Come here.

I'm just so scared.

You're gonna start to feel
like I'm this burden.

No, never.

I could never feel that way.

You got to know that.

So I took it out on you.

It's okay. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I lied to you
about the pills.

It's okay.
I know how hard it's been.

I mean, I don't know.
I can only imagine.

It's been harder on you. What?

You're the one
who has to do everything.

Feed me, make my appointments,
take care of the baby.

Juliette, I want to.

You do?

Yes.

Whoa.

Your arms are getting strong.

One of the perks
of physical therapy.

You sure you want to do this?

Yes.

I just...
I don't want to hurt you.

You won't.

Wait, wait.

I knew it.

No, it's not what you think.

I'm just this broken thing.

That you're too afraid
to even touch.

You are the most beautiful
woman in the world to me.

Then what is it?

It's stupid.

Tell me.

I just...

I feel...

It's like with everything
that happened with us...

My god.

It's okay.

I never wanted to hurt you.

I wouldn't trade it,
not for a second.

I don't think you have any idea
how much I love you.

But I just...

You need time.

Yeah.

It's a pretty
straightforward contract.

No surprises I can see.

There's an escape clause.

That protects you
if you want to get out.

There's no such thing
as free money,

But this is about
as close as it gets.

You are cordially invited
to a loud club.

To come see your boyfriend play.

What's wrong?

I found this in the trash.

You never sent it.

I didn't know what to do.

I didn't... I didn't know
how to tell you.

Tell me what?

There's someone else.

No.

It's so obvious.
No, that's not it.

How can I believe you?

You know how much
I wanted that apartment.

Look, you have every right
to hate me.

I can't even explain why.
I just...

What? Just be real
with me, will.

I don't...

I don't want to live with you.

This was your idea.

I know.

How long have you felt this way?

A while, I guess. I don't know.

I didn't want it to be true.

Well, I thought we were fine.

I thought you were happy. I am.

I just feel like
I need a little space or...

Are you breaking up with me? No.

It sure as hell feels like it.
No, no, kevin, kevin.

If I hadn't found that
application in the trash,

Would you have told me
any of this?

I was trying
to find the right way.

You know, I had a feeling
from the beginning.

That you weren't ready
for a real relationship.

I should have trusted my gut.

This isn't about just moving in.

This is the whole thing,
isn't it?

I'm sorry.

All right. Y'all
having a good time tonight?

Ha ha. All right,
let's keep things going.

Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the stage.

Will lexington!

All right!

I'm sorry. I guess I'm just
not feeling that one tonight.

I... I'd like to play you a song.

That I wrote with someone
real special,

My first love.
