Nashville (2012–2018): Season 5, Episode 9 - If Tomorrow Never Comes - full transcript

That just about blew my mind.

I think you should
come down to my office.

At highway 65,
let's have a conversation.

I can't be in a committed
relationship, right now.

So you are gonna sleep with him.

Don't be scared.
I just wanna talk to you.

Drop the weapon!
Let her go now! Drop it!

Are you okay, did he hurt you?

We're gonna get you out
of here, okay?

Something terrible happened.

Come home, baby.



We got a 47-year-old female.

Post high-speed
motor vehicle collision.

Blood pressure 90 over 45.

Patient was found unconscious.

With a crush injury to her
pelvis and proximal femur.

Okay, let's send out
for a trauma panel.

And type and cross for four.

My god.
Is there a problem, dickenson?

That's rayna james. Yep.

Okay, one, two, three, lift!

There's no time
for autographs, people.

Let's move!

Man, that was so cool
of your mom.

To show up like that.



Yeah, you should totally
take her up on the offer.

I don't know.

I just don't wanna trade in
on whatever's going on.

With you and me right now.

What?

Nothing. You're just awesome,
that's all.

Hey, dad.

Are you with clay?

Yeah, but don't worry.
We got, um...

Martinez.

Yeah, officer martinez with us.

Sweetie, I need you to meet me
at the hospital, okay?

What? What's wrong?

How am I still here?

Last I recall,
you were looking for a sock.

My god.

It was fun looking.

It's always fun.

When someone gets
an eye poked out.

No. What's wrong?

I was supposed to meet
gunnar and will for dinner.

Hello?

Where are you?

I've been texting and calling!

My phone was off. Sorry.

Yeah, well, deacon needs you
to pick up daphne from school,

And bring her to the hospital.

What? What happened?

How's she doing?

She's pretty banged up.

Her ct shows a shattered
pelvis and hip.

The good news is that
she doesn't appear.

To have any blood in her brain.

We've got our top ortho
coming in.

We're having to get her into
surgery as soon as possible.

Is she in pain?

No. We've got her
on a morphine drip.

So she's resting
comfortably now.

Thank you.

Can you believe this?

Police car? Yeah.

You don't remember being in it.

When the police officer
drove you?

She's okay.
She hardly got a scratch.

The lady officer?
Bless her heart.

I just remember the, um...

Carl... Wayne person.

He was waving a knife
at me for an eternity.

I'm so sorry about that guy.

Where are the girls?

They're coming, honey.

They're on their way.

Well, look who is
all up and talking.

Have you ever seen anybody
as handsome as this person?

Well, I'd say he's a cutie pie.

Plays a mean guitar too.

Honey, guess what? What, baby?

We are not done yet. We're not?

'Cause you know now
with our record?

We gotta write another song.

We do?

Yeah, because, you know...

It hasn't all just been pain.

We gotta write
that beautiful story.

Mrsa. My god,

You do not have
a mrsa infection.

It says right here that
it can spread to your bones.

The doctor said bone infections.

Are extremely rare
after surgery.

What if it's something worse?

Like what?

Like that...

You know, my college roommate
got something like that.

After a trip to amsterdam.

Only it wasn't on his foot.

I'm serious.

I'm serious too.

Honestly, julia, I love you,
but you're crazy.

I'm in pain, okay?

It feels like my leg is rotting
from the inside out!

Okay, okay...

I will schedule an appointment
with the doctor on monday.

No. I don't want to wait
until monday.

I want to see her tomorrow.

Of course you do.

Hey, man, what's up?

What? Is she okay?

Hey, I'll wait for you.

You don't have to do that.

No, no, no.
Just in case you need anything.

Thank you.

Maddie? Back up, back up...

How is your mom doing, maddie?

Any word on her condition?

How about those assault rumors?

Any truth to those?

Maddie, when's the last time
you spoke to your mother?

Does it hurt?

It hurts a little.

You know, honey, I'll be honest.

I don't really feel
much of anything right now.

Are you gonna be here for as
long as you were the last time?

Good heavens, what is it with me
and the car accidents?

Mom? There she is.

Hey, my girl.

I'm sorry I didn't
get here sooner.

We're glad you're here,
sweetheart.

Mom's about to go into surgery.

So what happened?

Someone outside said
something about an assault?

We don't have to
talk about it right now.

Let's get your mom off...

Hate to break this up,
but it's show time.

I didn't get a chance
to warm up.

Well, I guess you're just
going to have to wing it.

The surgeon requested some
vintage rayna james.

In the or for inspiration.

Well, make sure
they get a good one.

There are a couple of
clunkers back in the 90s.

You ready?

Hey maddie? Its okay.

It's all right...
It's all right.

Bye babe. I love you.

Maddie? Are you okay?

I just need a minute.

You wanna tell me
what's going on?

I can't right now.

Come on, don't make me
crawl under there.

You know I will.

This is all my fault, I know.

What are you talking about?

It's like a punishment.

I just know it. For what?

For all the trouble I've caused.

This has nothing to do with you.

This was an accident. No!

If she didn't come
to see clay perform,

None of this
would have happened.

That is a load of crap,
and you know it!

You haven't put your mom
through any worse.

Than any other kid your age.

It's called being a teenager.

When you were a teenager,
you were perfect, so...

It was a little bit different
with the mother I had.

There wasn't room enough
for both of us to be bad, so...

Your mama's not like that.

And she knows you would
never wish.

For anything bad
to happen to her.

No matter how much
you two lock horns.

There ain't anything you can do
to make her feel any different.

How do you know that?

I just know.

She got four hours
of surgery ahead of her.

So you could get some air.

Ain't nothing gonna happen
for a while.

Four hours?

Give or take.

This is gonna be
the longest four hours ever.

Yeah. Tell me about it.

Sweetie, I think I'm gonna have

Scarlett take you home, okay?
No!

Baby, you got
a concert tomorrow.

I want you to get some sleep.

I wanna be here
when she wakes up.

Honey, your mom won't even
remember waking up.

I promise I'll get you back
here in the morning, I will.

I'm not going home!

Hey. Is everything okay?

No. What's wrong?

She's gonna be in surgery
for four hours.

So can we just drive?

How'd it go? Very well.

She's coming out of anesthesia.

So it shouldn't be long
before she's in her room,

And ready to see you.

Thank god!

Now what happens next?

Well, assuming
everything goes well,

She can go home in a few days.

She will need a lot
of rehab, of course.

But it looks like
she's gonna be okay.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Aw, thank you, guys.
That's great.

Is it crazy that what
I really want right now.

Is a cheeseburger?

All you been through,

You deserve a damn cheeseburger.

I'm starting to remember
what happened,

The accident and the attack
and all that.

I've ever been in my whole life.

And that's saying a lot.

Because I've been through
some pretty scary stuff.

But what's different now is that.

You're right here next to me.

That's just the sweetest feeling
in the whole world.

Found a vase. Thank you, honey.

Those are beautiful.

Is that bucky out there?

Yeah. We got a couple
of people out there.

But they said they only wanted
immediate family in here.

The nurse wants you to rest.

They could come in and say hi.

All right.

You look good, mom.

Honey, when'd you get
to be such a good liar?

Hey, y'all.

Bucky, you didn't have to come.

Sit over here all night.

Of course I did.
Of course you did.

How you feeling?

Like I was hit by a truck.

Looks like the cmt awards
are not gonna happen.

Hey, don't worry about that.

I already took care of it.

And everybody at cmt
wants me to tell you.

They want you to get
better soon.

And they send you their love.

Thanks okay, let's wrap it up.

This young lady
needs to get some rest.

I'll check on you first thing
in the morning.

Thank you for coming.

Hey, did deacon tell you about.

The song we're gonna write?

The song?

I'll tell you about it later.

You gotta get
your guitar, honey.

I'm not leaving you
to go get some guitar.

I'll get it for you. Thank you.

Y'all the best family
a woman could ever want.

Where's maddie, y'all?

She'll be here soon.

It's like the room just
started getting smaller.

All of a sudden.

I literally couldn't breath.

It was like, you know,
those dreams.

When you're trying to scream,
but nothing comes out?

It sounds like you were
having a panic attack.

God, it was scary,
whatever it was.

Hey, you're okay now.

Does your dad know
that you're here with me?

Yeah. He said he's gonna text me.

Whenever she gets out
of surgery.

Wow. Yeah.

My dad proposed
to my mom up here.

It's like one of her
favorite places.

Well, I can see why.

I remember this one time

I was up here with her
when I was little.

Just the two of us.

No talking, just sort of...

Being with each other.

And I looked over at her.

And she had tears, like,
streaming down her face.

And I don't know why,

But it was like the first time

I ever saw her as a person,

You know, instead of a mom.

I guess I'm feeling
a little bit better.

Walking and talking.

It's the best thing
for a panic attack.

How do you know
so much about them?

Well, my mom used to have them.

You must miss her.

It's complicated. Why?

It was always
a roller coaster with her.

I mean, one minute she would
be the best mom ever.

And then she'd start
tweaking again,

And disappear on me.

It must have been so hard.

I mean, the disappearing
wasn't so bad.

It was showing up again
that really sucked.

Because you knew
she wouldn't stay.

It's funny...

It got to where I started hoping.

She wouldn't come
around anymore.

And then eventually she didn't.

That is so sad.

It's my dad.

Mom's out of surgery.

Well, how did it go?

Good, I guess.

He and daphne are gonna
spend the night there.

Well, I can take you back.

He's saying that the nurse
just wants her to get some rest.

And for me to just go home,

And come back in the morning.

I can take you home if you want.

Can we just walk some more?

Of course, we can.

He would want his sunburst,
I'll bet.

So are we just gonna pretend
like nothing happened?

You see a capo
lying around here anywhere?

The least you could
have done was called.

You know, I sat there
for two hours waiting for you.

Well, I did tell you
that I might not make it.

All right,
just answer me this, okay?

Is he so good in bed.

You had to spend the whole
frickin' day with him?

I'm gonna go get
daphne's toothbrush.

And I'll meet you in the car.

Well, that's it?

That's all you got to say?

Juliette, how's your leg doing?

Any idea when you'll be
up and running again?

I'm up right now.

I'm not sure about
the running part.

Come on, guys,
give her some room.

Any word on rayna's condition.

We heard she was assaulted.

Can you tell us anything
about that?

Looking for room 208.

I can't let you go
in there right now.

I'm under strict orders.

Juliette!

Well, if you happen
to know who I am,

Then you know I don't
take orders very well.

Miss barnes!

She doesn't follow
my orders either.

Someone needs to tell
nurse ratched to relax.

Hi. Is this a bad time?

Brought you something.

That's nice.

You didn't have to do that.

Eye mask. Saved my life.

When I was laying where
you are right now.

Nurses coming in
every five minutes.

The lights flickering.

Yeah, I'm not getting a lot
of sleep around here.

Yeah. How are you feeling?

You know.

Yeah, I do know.

Thought you were gonna
be off those by now.

You and me both, girl.

What's the holdup?

You know, I don't want to
talk about me right now.

But you're so much
better at it than I am.

I know.

That's not why I'm here.

What?

You've changed.

I have?

It's like when you
fell out of the sky,

Something shook out of you.

About time, right?

Now you've got me wondering.

After this whole nightmare,

I wonder what's gonna
shake out of me?

Something good.

So I was thinking about
what you were saying.

About how your mom
was in and out of your life.

And my mom was
the complete opposite.

You're lucky.

Yeah, and I have done nothing
but give her a hard time.

You?

Are you kidding? Yes.

I've done terrible things.

Like lied, I've run away.

I even took her
to court last year.

What?

Yeah. It's like
no matter what I did,

She was always there for me.

I think the reason I was
able to do all this.

Is because I knew deep down.

That we would never
be separated.

And that sounds so selfish.

No. That sounds like
you really love her.

I do.

I honestly don't know
what I'd do.

If anything ever
happened to her.

What do you mean an epilogue?

No, it's not
an epilogue, it's a...

That's not the right word.

My brain's jell-0.

And I can't think
of the freaking...

Why are so hell-bent
on another song, baby?

We got like 16.

Because we've been
dredging up the past, and its...

I don't want that to be
the whole story we're telling.

You know what I mean?

You sure it's not
the morphine talking?

No.

No, it's like an after-thought,
you know, like the, um...

It's like a promise
of something more.

Like a coda?

You're so smart, babe.

It's just that last
little thing you hear...

Suddenly makes everything
make sense.

That's what the song should be.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

You scared the hell outta me,
that's all.

You're not getting
rid of me that easy.

Sing me to sleep.

Hi. Hey.

That breakfast
didn't look too good.

So I got you girls
a couple of smoothies and...

Cheeseburgers.

It hurts when I laugh.

My goodness.

Well, I should probably
do the smoothie.

All right. Smoothie, it is.

Give me the burger.

Where's daph?

She was having
a bit of a moment.

I sent scarlett off
to go talk to her.

What happened? Well, you know,

They've got that concert
at school tonight.

And, bless her heart,

She didn't want to
leave my side.

She don't want to go.

Yeah, that's hard.

Hey...

No concert tonight?

Nope.

What about your solo?

Louisa can sing it.

Not like you can.

Don't worry.
Me and deacon got this.

You don't have to hang around.

What's the point
if my mom can't come.

It's not like my dad can either.

Maddie's gonna go, isn't she?

No, she's with clay.

She doesn't care anymore.

It's just my mom.

My mom's the only one who cares.

Baby, baby, come here.

It's okay.

You're gonna be all right.

I'm gonna have to set up shop,

And start charging around here.

Daphne is having a meltdown.

I should have just
gone back before.

Come on.

There is an irregularity here.

An irregularity?

Where the fixator was
attached to your bone.

You see that spot there?

It's cancer!

Juliette...

I knew it.
It's most likely nothing.

But lets get an mri
just to make sure.

How could it be nothing
if I'm in this much pain?

There's all sorts
of unexplained pain.

After a major surgery
like yours.

Sometimes it's just
the nerve endings.

Repairing themselves.

Sometimes it's psychological.

You think I'm crazy too?

All I'm saying is
we may not be able.

To pinpoint it
at the end of the day.

So you might just have to
push through it.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Just brought you some coffee.

I wanted to see how
everybody's doing.

Thanks.

Daphne had a pretty
rough spell earlier.

But I think she's okay now.

You realize I'm
kind of screwed here.

How so?

If I put foot down
and tell you not to see him,

You'll just resent me.

And if I turn my cheek
and look the other way,

You might just be fool enough
to run off with the guy.

I really can't talk
about this right now.

I mean, I couldn't blame you.

He's completely charming
in a blowhard kind of way.

I mean, I'd date him if I wasn't
already in love with somebody.

Please keep your voice down.

What am I supposed to do,
scarlett,

To win your trust back?

Do I follow you around
like a puppy?

Do I challenge the guy
to a duel?

Because I'll do it, scarlett,

If that's what you want!

I'll do anything!

Just tell me what
you want me to do.

I don't know.

I like what we have.

I just think it might
need a tag or something.

What is a tag?

What are you doing here?

Just watching you.

I have been all along.

You have?

A magnificent woman
you've become.

This gives me such a thrill.

I've really missed you.

I know.

I've missed you too.

But I don't want to interrupt.

You were looking for something.

A tag.

It's my least favorite
thing to write.

Maybe you don't need one.

What do you mean?

Maybe this song is finished.

Who you talking to, baby?

She was just here.

Who was, sweetie?

My mom.

She was helping me
with her song.

Yes! Yes, scarlett.

I'm telling you, it was spooky.

The way she said it,
it was like...

Freaked me out.

I checked her out
pretty thoroughly.

And everything appears
to be normal.

Listen, you're sure?

And I can dial those down a bit.

But cognitive stuff like this
is not unusual.

These are opioids
we're talking about.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I just...

You hear stories
about white light.

And people calling
from beyond and all that.

And I just got a little nervous,
that's all.

I get it, but she's doing great.

I'll check back later, okay?

Thank you. Sorry.

See? Yeah.

Hey. Can I get you anything?

You're so sweet.

Deacon and I were just talking
about how sweet you are.

Dear.

Especially with the girls.
Thank you.

Well, they're easy
to be sweet to.

Did you finish your song?

Do you ever really
finish a song?

Good point.

Well, I wish gunnar and I
could churn them out.

Like you and deacon do.

All we seem to do lately
is tick each other off, so...

What's that fella's name?

Damien?

Damien. Is he still
in the picture?

We do not have to
talk about that right now.

I got nothing better to do.

Well, I'm intrigued by him.

I really am.

I'd like to get
to know him better.

But then gunnar
looks so miserable.

And says things like
he's going to fight for me.

And I'm lost all over again.

Just 'cause he's miserable.

And he says he's
gonna fight for you.

Doesn't mean he's
the one for you.

What do you mean?

I was talking about this
with maddie the other day.

I think sometimes these women,
you know, in relationships,

We let ourselves be
the object or something.

You know, man says
that he loves you.

Well, and that's it.
That's love.

Like he gets to choose.

But we get to choose too.

We get to choose to be happy

'cause we deserve it.

This is how I used to
get you to nap.

On tour buses
when you were a baby.

It was the only way
I could you to sleep.

Really? Um.

Although, who am I kidding?

It was the only way
I could get me to sleep.

What about dad?

Your father got
carsick on buses.

That's why he never
traveled with us.

I learned that the hard way
on our honeymoon.

That was not pretty.

You sure you don't want to go
to this thing tonight?

Yes. It's a stupid concert.

Don't say that.

Don't ever say that, okay?

You have a gift, honey.

It's your privilege,
it's your responsibility.

To share that with people.

And as your mom,

There's nothing that
gives me greater joy.

Than watching you do that.

Okay, geez.

Okay, geez. Sorry, I love you.

I love you too.

You know who else loves you?

Who?

Deacon.

I know you haven't
always believed that.

But I hope you
believe it now, d.

'Cause not just for you,
but for him too.

Y'all need to know that
you can rely on each other.

Mom... All right.

Fine... I will shut up.

Daphne!
What are you guys doing here?

We decided if y'all couldn't
come to the concert,

We'd bring the concert to you.

No way.

I wish I could take the credit.

But it was flynn's idea.

Deacon! Get a doctor!

Can I get a doctor, please?

Get a doctor in here!
Please hurry!

I'm so sorry. Come on guys.

We got you... We got you.

We need a crash cart in here!

This is a nightmare!

I can't believe
there's a game today.

Can we just get off the street?

I don't see how.

No. What?

They're taking my mom into icu.

My dad says come now. My god!

Why didn't I just stay
there last night?

What was I thinking?

Wait. Where you going?

Sorry. I got to go.

Why don't you take this jacket?

Her kidneys are shutting down.

And her potassium is sky high.

We're giving her medication.

But we may have to
put her on dialysis.

No, that doesn't make any sense!

She has a broken pelvis!
That's...

That can happen with
the type of fracture.

That your wife sustained.

Graft tissue from
the bone marrow.

Can leak into the blood system.

And just start wreaking
havoc through the body.

You can do something, right?
You'll fix that?

Not a lot, unfortunately.

We just try to stabilize her.

And wait for the circulation
to clear on its own.

And if it doesn't?

Let's not go there right now.
We're gonna do everything we can.

To make sure she
pulls through this.

I'm sorry.
I can't let you back here.

Doctor?

Be right back.

You'll have to stop
scaring me like that.

What's happening?

I don't know, sweetie.

If something happens,

You gotta stay strong
for the girls.

Promise me.

I can't promise that

'cause you ain't going nowhere.

Just promise me.

Sir, you cannot be in here.
I promise. I promise, okay?

Please, all right, okay.

I love you, deacon.

I love you, rayna.

Don't leave me.

I'm sorry.

Don't!

I'm so sorry, sir.

Your leg looks like
it's healed nicely.

You should be able to put
weight on it, no problem.

Well, what about
the irregularity?

Well, that was just
some calcification.

At the site of the pin.
But nothing to worry about.

I'm sorry to interrupt you,
dr. Reynolds.

But you're wanted in the icu.

I'm just finishing up here.
Can it wait?

Um, your trauma patient
from last night?

That was in the car accident?
Yeah?

She's crashing in the icu.

I'm sorry.
We'll have to cut this short.

I hope you understand.
Of course.

She's talking about rayna.

She has had multiple emboli.

That have affected her organs.

The system usually
clears on its own.

But, unfortunately, your wife's
just not responding.

What does that mean?

We are artificially
supporting her blood pressure.

At this point.

And her organs are failing.

I'm sorry.
I wish we had better news.

Is mom dying?

We are doing everything
that we can.

I usually tell folks
to pray for the best.

And prepare for the worst.

But I promise we will
do everything we can.

To help her pull through.

No! Please no!

Come here, daphne. Come here.

Juliette! Slow down!

What's wrong?

Any word from maddie?
She's almost here.

Deacon?

It's not good.

All I ever wanted was
for you to be proud of me.

Mom?

I'm here, mom. Mom, I'm here.

Mom, I'm so sorry.

Hush, baby.

She's always known, sweetie.
She knows that.

Is there anything else
you can do here, please?

We're doing everything we can.

Dad?

Yes, sweet girl?

Do you think
she knows we're here?

I do.

Is there something
you want to say to her?

I don't know what to say.

That's okay, honey.

That's all right.

It's hard to know what to say.
