Oh, fuck, yeah!

All the way from Glasgow, Scotland,

please welcome a little girl by the name of Rose-Lynn Harlan

to the Opry.

Rose-Lynn Harlan, ladies and gentlemen,

performing for the first time here in Nashville, Tennessee.

- Whoo! - Fuckin'-A.

Right, I'll see you.

When?

When?

Mum!

Oh, hi.

Come on, Lyle. Come on.

Where do you think you're going, all done up like a fish supper?

Christ, he's got you down, so he has.

That's scary. Don't do that.

Anyway, I'm not going anywhere. I'm having my dinner wi' yous.

He never shuts up, you never speak.

What's going on in there, eh? Sponsored silence?

Did you miss me, eh? Hmm?

Rose-Lynn?

I thought you were your mum there.

That cannae have been 12 month. The time's went in like that.

Aye.

Hello, Marion!

Night, both of you.

She looks good. Amanda.

Aye. So she should. Enough time at it.

- Does she still lie out here on tin foil? - Oh, aye.

One peek of the sun and that one's in a bikini.

- Other day she was in after my butter. - Your butter?

Puts it all over her. "It's natural, Marion."

Aye, natural if you're a roll.

Mary was gonna come tonight to see you,

but she's awful bad with her arthritis, so...

- Oh, that's a shame. - Aye.

It's in her knees now so that's her had to retire.

It's, uh...

Eight pound an hour, holidays.

Says she'll see you into it as a favour to me.

Cleaning, aye? Aye, very good.

Why, what were you thinking?

Thinking? No.

I wasnae thinking. I've just got out. Don't you worry about me.

No, I wasnae. I was thinking about your kids.

I'm going to Nashville.

Well, you better mind your tag doesnae go off when you're going through security.

First thing I'm going down the Opry I'm gonna get my job back

and I'm gonna work for it.

There's nothing for me here.

There I can be honing my craft, out gigging every night.

Honing your cra...?

Do you not think you've sacrificed enough for that fantasy?

- Have we all not sacrificed enough? - How's it a fantasy?

- It's the only thing I'm good at. - Learn a trade.

- Go to college. - You're not listening.

I don't care what you do, but do something.

I've got my talent and I'm gonna use that.

Have you not been watching telly? There's no shortage of folk who can sing.

...a high, distinctive whistle as they fly home over the water.

Argh.

Fuck's sake!

♪ I beg your pardon ♪

Here we go. Step and swivel.

- Back to back, out, in. - ♪ I never promised you a rose garden ♪

- ♪ Along with the sunshine ♪ - Turn.

Come on, Sandra. Watch your feet!

Oh, the Lone Ranger rides into town.

Do you wanna get me a wee beer, Jackie?

Watch me! Don't watch your neighbour!

Eyes on me, no' your neighbour!

So, what have I missed?

Was there mice before?

- Aye. - Well, then,

there's nothing new under the sun.

I hear you're on the tag.

Cannae fart round here.

Aye, I am, but I've appealed it, so a couple of weeks I'll be brand-new.

Fridays and Saturdays, boom.

Fridays and Saturdays we've got Mississippi Tundra.

Who?

Christ, yous must be desperate!

Nobody wants to see a convicted criminal up there.

Folk come here to get away from all that.

Johnny Cash was a convicted criminal, you bawbag.

Anyway, away back to your mousetraps.

I need this job, Jackie, and it's my fucking band.

It's the house band. You're your own worst enemy, you.

I wouldnae agree. There's strong competition.

- Fuck you! Fuck off! - Fucking stupid cow!

- You nicked my job, did you? - Get off! Get off me!

- Get your hands off me! - Get out.

- Ten year I've been working here. - Right, you're barred.

- Get out! - Fucking no-fucking-hopers' clubhouse!

You're an animal. An animal!

Fuck!

Didn't know you were on mornings.

- How's your lassie? - Oh, ask me tomorrow.

He lives in the bottom half of the house.

There's another house up the stair.

My mate Andy lives there.

And then they bought the house next door.

Lauren lives next door with a wee balcony.

I've not done anything to the gate.

You were effing and blinding at the gate.

Shoes off.

Ah, that's so sweet.

Oh, yeah, that's fine. That's fine.

Come in and sit down.

Yeah, I've got to go. I've got someone here.

Ah. Okay.

Pleasure. Speak to you later. Bye.

Hello! I'm Susannah.

- Hi. - Thanks for coming.

So, um... where have you been working before now?

She's been up in Stirling. Haven't you, Rose-Lynn?

But she's no plans to go back.

- Oh, it's beautiful up there. - Majestic.

Yeah.

Right, I'm off to spend a penny.

So, it's £12 an hour.

Twelve? Actually, Mary gets...

Eight pound? Right, but... she can afford to go that low

because she's on the brew as well.

Brew? She drinks?

- I don't think Mary drinks. - No, no.

The brew is like, you know, the dole.

- Really? - Mm, yeah, yeah.

Whereas I'll not be up to anything like that.

It's just not me. Know what I mean?

Don't embarrass her by mentioning it.

Oh, you were needing more bleach, Susannah.

I'll give you the receipt for it.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Rose-Lynn?

- Oh, Jesus! - Rose-Lynn? Sorry.

Um, I'm just gonna pop out and...

- I'll be back in about an hour, okay? - Okay.

Or... or maybe less.

I'm in and out all day so I don't know when I'll be back. Just...

Great.

Right, see you in a bit.

Yous gave me a shock.

- Where's your mum? - Parking the car.

Yous are like something out of The Shining.

What's "The Shining"?

Huh.

Well, are yous coming in?

There's a yeasty smell in here.

What kind of smell is it?

- Yeasty. - What smell?

Well, I don't know, but it sure as hell isnae somebody baking bread.

Hang on a minute.

She won't touch ham and he won't eat anything but,

and they've both now decided they don't like yoghurt.

Have you got a calendar? You need a calendar.

For putting down their gym days

and their holidays and if they're needing to bring something in.

Nine times out of ten they willnae tell you,

so you need to go through their bags once a week

and you need to pay these.

You can do it. You've got a wage now and you can pay in instalments.

Your gas, your water and your electricity...

and...

your TV licence as well.

Okay-smokey. Well, that's you set up here.

Remember, you have to be in immediate range of that

from 7.00 at night until 7.00 in the morning, okay?

Hello?

- Hi? - Excuse me?

- Hi. Yeah? - Is that your wee boy out here?

- Lyle? - Open up, it's the police!

- Lyle? Lyle! - Hi-ya!

- Hi... - Get in here.

Right now!

Right, that's me away.

You know where I am...

if you need me.

No, no, you're staying here with your mammy.

But you'll see me every day.

You'll see me every day, dafty.

I'm coming home with you.

No, you stay with your mammy. Now, be a good boy.

Come on, take hold of him now.

Take hold of him.

Come on. Shh, shh.

I want to go with my granny!

No, you don't. Shh, shh.

Come on, Lyle.

I don't wanna stay here!

See, on Friday, will we go out for our dinner?

I remember what your favourite is.

It's pizza.

I like sausage, cheese, tomato.

She likes cheese, tomato and cheese.

Are you coming with us?

Hmm?

- Right, that's me away. - Okay.

The kids tell me you're a country and western singer.

Are you taking the piss?

No! No, not at all. Why do you say that?

Country and western? No, it's just country.

Oh, I didn't realise.

You must be very good because all I've heard all week is "Rose-Lynn."

- Why country? - 'Cause it's three chords and the truth.

Wow.

And it goes like that, just gets whatever's in there out.

Anyways, I'll see you next week.

Thanks very much. Bye.

Bye.

All right. Thanks.

Oh, sorry. After you.

Him, that fucking prick.

Shit. Sorry, mate. Fuck.

- Get out! - Fuck.

- Oh, sorry, pal. Sorry. - Watch yourself.

Ah, don't worry about it. It's fine.

I'm all right, Davey.

- That's me. You fucking idiot! - No, no, no. I just fell on the floor.

- Where you going? - I've got my curfew.

Never mind the curfew. Come on, stay.

- Drink mine. - Stay. Oi!

Fuck!

Hello. Galloways the butcher's. What can I get you?

Yeah, I'm playing with you. I'm only kidding you on.

Aye, yeah, Rose-Lynn Harlan.

I'm here.

All right, okay, bye.

- Oh... - What happened to pizza?

You cannae promise them something and then just disappear.

- You cannae do that. - I didnae disappear.

I was at my work, waiting on my wages.

Please! You're not fooling anybody, Rose-Lynn.

And you cannae fool me.

See, you tell them something, you don't go back on it.

That's basic.

That's basic.

Right, pizza. Come on.

You don't like pizza.

I'll have something else.

Come in.

You know, I was um... I was just thinking,

I could give you some recommendations.

Like, strong women and all that.

Oh, I'd love that. I'd love that. I'd love to hear you sing.

Where do you sing? Is there, um... Is there a scene?

Oh, no, no. No, there's fuck-all here.

It's actually what I'm...

- I'm actually trying to get to Nashville. - Oh.

I'm needing to raise a couple of grand so I can get flights and a hotel.

I cannae drive, so I'm needing a driver as well.

It wouldnae be more than two or three, definitely less than five.

Oh...

Rose-Lynn, I...

I'm sorry, I can't just give you money, if that's what you're suggesting.

- I'm sure it wasn't. - No, it was.

- I can't do that. - How no'?

I'm not being funny, but I just thought

with all the smelly candles burning everywhere

and bottled water and all that, you wouldnae miss it.

I'll be old and grey before I've saved up, whereas you...

I mean, yous could just drink out of the tap.

Anyways, never mind.

What are you actually doing... while you're waiting, saving to go?

I've been the star fucking attraction at Glasgow's Grand Ole Opry since I was 14.

- And? - And what?

Nothing.

Why haven't you gone in for one of those TV talent shows?

They're no' for folk who can sing.

They're for folk who want to sit in with their saag aloo and watch the telly.

Isn't it a way of meeting someone here who can introduce you to someone there?

There's nobody here. That's why I'm away.

No one in the whole of Britain knows anything about country music?

- Except me. - Except you?

Yeah. And Bob Harris.

Who's that?

Well, he's a DJ at BBC Radio 2.

Pure legend, man. Ancient wee guy.

He knows everything about country music. All the stars, they're his pals.

That's great.

That's who you need to write to.

Aye, yeah, it's good thinking. I'll just away and pop round his house!

No, I cannae do this.

- Why not? - 'Cause I feel like a fanny.

Okay, you two, go on outside.

- No! - Yes, ten minutes.

All we're gonna do is listen outside the door.

It's... it's fine. It's fine. It's cool.

- You sure? - Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

- Want to stay for dinner? - Oh, no, thank you.

Thanks.

So, where do you stay, Rose-Lynn?

Priesthill.

- Ah, Pollok way. - Aye, yeah.

- Sam's from Clydebank. - Clydebank?

How did you get here from Clydebank, break in through a window?

Learned a trade from my father and then I started up on my own.

Aye? What trade?

Conservatories?

Is that they big glass things stuck on the side of houses?

I'm no' being funny, but who needs a conservatory in Glasgow?

- You'd be surprised. - Oh, aye, I would be.

- What are you looking for? - iPad.

- Did Mum say you can have it? No? - No.

Tell you what, let's go play some football, eh?

Oh, you're getting heavy, boy.

- Do you want kids, Rose-Lynn? - Aye, yeah.

Just not yet.

How was school today?

Is Mrs Pat still there? Oh, she hated me, Mrs Pat.

Is Miss McDonald still your favourite?

Miss McDonald left.

- You hungry? - Mm-hmm.

Hmm?

I've got something.

"Dear Susannah, so wonderful to hear from you after all this time.

I passed your email on to Liz. Remember Liz used to piss in the sink?"

She, um... Oh, she works on the Today programme

and she sent the link to her husband who covers sport for Radio 2

and he forwarded the link to Bob Harris's producer.

Oh, my God!

- Oh, my fucking God! - Wait.

"Bob would be very happy to meet her if she fancied coming down to London

to watch a live recording."

Do you know how many times I've written to that wee bastard

and how many BBC pens I got back in return?

How did you do that? How did you even fucking do that?

- Sent a few emails. - I cannae be...

I cannae believe it. I'm fucking shaking.

- That is just... - Oh.

Thank you, thank you. That is fucking mental. Brilliant!

Whoo!

Bob Harris?

Whispering Bob Harris?

Aye.

♪ BBC Radio 2 ♪

Aye, I know, I know. It's mad.

That would be some doors he could open for you.

Is... Is it all right if you babysit?

Oh, of course she will.

- How did this come about? - Susannah.

Oh. Very nice of her to help you.

Can she unlock tags as well?

You served 12 months

for attempting to smuggle a package of heroin into Cornton Vale

by throwing it over the perimeter fence.

I didnae know it was heroin.

But you were reckless as to what the package contained.

If you mean, was I off my face and didnae ask what was in it, then aye.

I had wains and everything and they give me the jail.

Pure ridiculous.

That's what my advocate said at the time... it's no' my fault.

Well, whose fault was it?

Well, it was the judge's, obviously, for giving me the sentence.

Your Lordship,

a more contrite young lady it would be hard to find.

Ms Harlan has done a lot of soul-searching.

She has... dug deep.

And she's put her childish ways behind her.

She now works full-time as a daily woman

and her children are living with her once again.

Though Ms Harlan is no longer in prison,

neither is she free.

Wearing a tag means she is unable to seek employment

in her own line of work.

- You just told me she's a daily woman. - Yes.

But if you turn the page, sir...

you'll see my client is also

a promising young country and western singer.

Oh, for God's sake.

It's just "country."

It's just "country."

My lord, this young lady must be allowed out in the evenings

if she is to make a new start.

Yeah!

- You are barred. - You can take that up with my lawyer

who'll be having a whisky and Coke.

Oi, you! Oi, you, what did I just say?

She's barred!

- Go on, go! - Good luck.

See you! Bye!

You seen my bag?

- Sorry? - I left my bag here.

I left my bag and my jacket on this seat.

Um, I think you took it with you.

No, I didnae take it with me. I left it here. It cannae just disappear.

Did...? Did anyone come and take it?

Shit.

How is it not your responsibility? 'Cause this is all I've got now.

That and these. Just tell me. Tell me, what is it I'm meant to do?

The train was thoroughly checked and nothing's been handed in.

You might be best talking to the transport police

and getting a crime reference number.

Are you okay?

Do you need to phone someone?

I'm only trying to help her.

Sorry! Excuse me!

Sorry. Sorry, mate.

Hi, I'm looking for the B... I'm looking for the BBC.

Right, okay, you'll need to take the Tube down to...

What? No, I don't have any mon...

Do you know where the BBC is?

Oh, thank fucking God!

Hi. Rose-Lynn Harlan.

- Who are you here to see? - Bob Harris.

- Have you got any ID? - No.

No, some bastard stole my bag on the way here, so no.

Right. I'm gonna need you to sign in.

What, is it MI5 here?

Jeez, they give you less hassle in the police station.

- Are you Rose-Lynn? - Aye.

Hello. I'm Mark, Bob's producer.

Oh, jeez, it's so good to see you, boy.

You got here, then?

Aye, I did.

So, the studio is through here,

and... round here is our control room

and in the control room is Bob Harris.

- You must be Rose-Lynn. - I cannae believe it's you. Oh!

Honest to God, I thought you'd be tiny wee.

Oh, is that where they go, Miranda Lambert and all that?

- All they folk who come in here? - It is, yeah.

And we've got someone fabulous playing later.

Would you like to have a look around?

So, this is very exciting, meeting a home-grown country star.

From Glasgow! I mean, it's a great music city, Glasgow.

Oh, yeah? I'm trying to get to Nashville, obviously, but...

I mean, who's ever heard of a country singer from Glasgow?

That's ridiculous. It cannae be.

Why not?

Well...

See my life? My life's like being one of these transsexuals.

You know? When you're born a man, but you were meant to come out a lassie.

Yeah, that is me. I should have been born in America.

I'm an American, but here I am.

- Do you write? - Oh, no.

- Can you play? - No.

Honestly, I don't think it matters

whether you're from Glasgow, Scotland or Glasgow, Kentucky

if you've got a voice and you've got something to say.

I watched your link, and you really do have a voice.

So, what do you need to say?

Susannah just picked me up from the station just now.

I left it on her back seat.

- Was it good? - Aye.

What like was it? London.

- It was hoaching. - Oh, that's what Mary said.

She's been down a couple of times to see her nephew.

Says you cannae move for people.

Honest to God, wherever you go people are up your nose,

in your mouth, under your nails.

I couldnae stand that.

What was he like? Bob.

I think he was...

He was saying I'm needing to write my own tunes.

What am I gonnae write about? The bleach ran away with the broom?

You don't stick at things.

You know, that's your trouble.

But look at this house.

you can do anything.

- Do you want a cup of tea? - Oh, no. I'm away to my bed.

I'm up early the morrow.

But you can ask me for my dinner.

and he doesnae like mine.

I don't have a mince.

My mince is your mince.

- Did I wake you up? - No.

I wanted some water.

What's your book about?

About a girl and her dog.

That sounds a bit babyish for you.

Key Stage 2.

Boo!

Why are you doing that?

I don't know.

Here, I'll take you back to bed.

Those are nice. Who are they for?

This one's for Isla and this one's for Shona.

Isla and Shona.

Yous have half-term coming up. Do you know that?

You have a whole week off school.

What will we do, eh?

We'll go away for a few days, to the beach.

- I've not went to the beach. - Yeah, you have.

You're too young to remember.

We went just before...

just before yous moved in with your granny.

You wanted to pick up all the shells. Remember that?

How come we werenae allowed to see you?

'Cause your granny didn't want you coming to the jail.

Who else was gonna bring you?

'Cause of baddies?

Aye, uh-huh.

You werenae a baddie, though. You were an outlaw.

- Who told you that? - You did.

No, I wasnae an outlaw.

I was a fanny.

You said fanny!

How was it? I tried calling you so many times.

- Oh, I know. I lost my phone. - No! What happened?

- Actually, it got pinched. - Oh, really?

Yeah, out of my bag, with my bag.

- Crap. - Didnae matter.

- It was fucking-A! - Was it?

Really?

I'm gonna get there. I am gonna fucking get there.

Yes, you bloody are.

- Listen. - Yeah?

I'm gonna be 50 in a minute and...

I was gonna have this drinks party for which I've got very little enthusiasm for.

'Cause over the weekend I realised what I really need is a "party" party,

a great big fuck-off house party,

featuring, say, a set by... a young up-and-coming country singer,

Rose-Lynn Harlan.

What? You want me to play at your party?

Yeah. Will you?

- Well, aye, yeah, course I will. - That is brilliant.

That is not the exciting bit.

The exciting bit is, instead of bringing gifts,

people will contribute to a cause that is very close to my heart... you.

You perform a set.

If people like what they hear, which they will,

then they invest in you, in your career.

That's, like, a hundred people spending between £50 and £100.

Voilà.

By the magic of crowd-funding, you are there.

- Where? - The Isle of Man.

Nashville!

What, you're gonna tax your pals to come to your house

for an audience with your daily woman?

Yeah.

You've lost the plot, hen!

- Oh, do you have a band? - Aye, yeah, course I do.

- When is it? - Next Sunday.

You've already booked the week off, and you can use that time to rehearse.

Oh, no. No, I cannae do that week. But it's cool, I don't need to rehearse.

I've been playing with these guys since I was 14.

Rose-Lynn, you definitely need to rehearse.

If you're asking people for money, if...

If you want people to buy in to the idea that you're gonna make it out there,

then you need to put in a really professional performance.

Oh, yeah, cool, yeah. Fucking-A.

Brilliant.

Whoo!

Well...

I cannae fault it.

Mum?

- Susannah's needing me in next week. - She cannae have you.

Kids are on holiday. She can do without you for a week.

You said you'd take them away.

Well, it's no', uh... it's no' cleaning I'd be doing, it's rehearsing.

I'm doing this gig at her house.

She's invited all these people and I'm gonna perform with my band.

And then they're gonna invest.

Invest? Invest in what?

In me, in my career,

in getting to Nashville.

Oh.

I don't remember her investing in Mary when she was in agony with her hip.

Eighteen-month waiting list.

If she'd money to spare, she could have forked out on that.

She isnae forking it out.

She's giving me a chance to earn it.

But it's got to be good, no pub band. We havenae long to put it together.

I phoned the school to see about holiday club, but it's all full up,

and I'd rather they were with you 'cause I don't want them thinking...

Thinking what?

That you cast them off when you get a better offer?

Or that all this is for nothing 'cause you've still got one foot out the door?

I cannae help you.

I havenae booked the time off.

You've been there 20 year.

- Special circumstances. - I've used that enough.

Aye, when I was fucking up.

What's for you will no' go by you.

This is me trying to make something of myself.

Surely to God that's a good thing for them.

A good thing for them?

No' letting them down again and again and again,

that would be a good thing for them.

And I thought you'd turned a corner.

More fool me!

- Where are we going? - To the beach.

We're going to go into the sea and look at different jellyfish.

Come on. That's a good boy. Come on.

Here we go.

Oh, in yous come.

I don't want to go in there!

Mary's gonna look after you for a wee while this week, okay?

I didn't say a week, Rose-Lynn, I said today.

Oh, you're fine, you're fine.

Come on. Mum'll be back. You'll be fine.

Wow, who else has this lassie invested in? Rod Stewart?

Right, now, it's been a long time, but I do love a call sheet.

So, if you could all be here from 4.00 tomorrow,

then we'll run sound check from 4.30,

and after that... we'll go to the lighting cues.

Big day tomorrow, gents. This girl has cleaned her last floor.

Leave it. You don't have to do that.

No, it's all right. I'll just... I'll just pop them inside.

I nicked it from the tech guys.

Fancy a smoke?

Oh, no, I've... I've got to go.

- Really? - Yeah.

Can you roll it?

When I first met Sam,

we lived in this shittiest little flat on Clydeside.

There was nothing there, not like it is now.

We had rats because of the river,

we were broken into nearly once a week,

but we had these really, really amazing parties.

Don't really want this.

- Do you have someone? - No, I'm... free as a bird.

Lucky you.

You're young.

You're incredibly talented. You're at the height of your powers.

There is nothing you can't do.

This is your time.

Once you've got kids, it's a little bit different.

Yeah.

I'd better go.

Hello?

- How are you, honey? - I'm fine, thank you.

- I'll drop you home. - Oh, no, you're all right.

- It's fine. I'll just take the bus. - No, come on.

- Sleep well. - Aye, yeah.

See you in the morning.

You homesick, aye?

What, is this the one where you try and stick it up the daily woman?

No, no.

This is the one where I tell you that I'm on to you.

I know you did the jail.

And I know what you were in for.

Susannah's bought into whatever it is you're selling,

and I'm not about to take that away from her now.

But I don't want you anywhere near my kids, so...

See the morrow?

Sing your song, get your money,

then you're gone.

Lyle, hurry up.

We haven't got all day.

Rosie! Where you been, man? Havenae seen hide nor hair of you.

- All right, wee man? - I'll be in in a minute.

You all right, pal?

Aye, you know, I'm brand-new.

Lyle?

His name's Lyle. He's five.

He swung on a wardrobe and it fell on him.

I think it's just his arms that he's hurt, but maybe his head as well.

Okay, Lyle, do you mind if I have a wee look?

- Ow! - Shh, shh, shh...

- All right. - She's gonna have a wee look, okay?

- Any allergies? - No, I don't... I don't think so, no.

Fabric plasters.

Okay, um, we'll need to X-ray him.

It's one of those nights in here,

so it might be a while until a doctor sees yous.

- Okay. - I want my granny.

- Shh, shh... - Please! I want my granny!

- Please! I want my granny! - It's okay, it's okay.

- Are you Lyle's mum? - Aye, yeah.

- Dr Yousaf. I'm sorry about the wait. - No.

The X-ray looks fairly straightforward, but he'll need a cast.

When can we go home?

We can't get the cast on until the swelling's come down,

so we are looking at a couple more hours.

I'm sorry it's been such a long night.

Oh, fucking hell.

- Where is he? - He's still asleep.

Right. I'll take this one home and you can stay here with the wee fella.

No.

No.

What's for you will no' go by you.

Maybe 20 year in the baker's is enough for you, but it's not enough for me.

Away and get me a wee cup of tea, darling.

What's the matter with you?

I just... I just need you to help.

Help me.

Help you? Help you do what?

Leave him here while you go to a party? Is that the plan?

I don't know what this awf'y toffy woman thinks you are,

but she wouldnae give you a brass farthing if she knew the truth.

You havenae even told her, have you?

She doesnae even have a clue that you've got kids.

If you're no' even prepared to acknowledge their existence,

there's no hope for you.

And there's sure as hell none for them.

Go. Go to Nashville.

Do whatever it is you wanna do. Come on, darling.

Let's go see your wee brother.

Rose-Lynn! Where have you been?

Jesus Christ! I thought you were a no-show.

The band have had to talk me off a ledge.

You look tired. Are you all right?

Oh, yeah, aye. I'm... brand-new.

- Oh, good, good. - Great.

Come on, let's go. You gave me such a fright.

♪ And a double-barrel whisky... ♪

Okay, um...

so, not long ago, a spark of light flew in through my door

and reminded me of why I fell in love with Glasgow in the first place.

The girl, like the city, is gallus.

Whoo!

She's funny and, above all else, she's completely fearless.

And with your help, she's going to Nashville

to do what she was put on this earth to do.

I'm so proud to know her and call her my friend.

Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Rose-Lynn Harlan!

Okay? Let's go.

Sor-sor-sorry. Can you just give me...?

Give me... give me five.

What's wrong?

Rose-Lynn?

Hey? Hey!

Rose-Lynn, please.

What's going on? What are you doing? Where are you going?

What's happened?

Oh, darling. Come on.

I don't know what... what you see when you look at me, but it isnae me.

- What are you talking about? - I'm not at the height of my powers.

I'm not free and there's so, so much I can't undo.

I can't undo going to the jail.

I cannae undo chucking in heroin

to all they lasses in there already fucked from drugs.

And do you know what else I cannae undo?

Having two kids.

Two beautiful children before I was 18.

Wynonna, she's eight,

and Lyle, he's five, and I...

I got 12 months in the jail and I left behind two kids.

Yeah, that's the truth.

Not this.

That, them.

Everything I made you think I am...

I'm not.

Sorry, I'm just...

Come on.

- I see an island over there. - An island?

- It's a clam. - Do you think you can open it?

Miss Harlan?

I mean, I'll be happy just...

All right, then.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Hooray!

Did you make a wish?

You can have mine.

Right. Who's having the first slice, eh?

- Me. - Yeah? Good.

- It's only me. - Hi.

- Hi. - Have you got a wee minute?

Aye, yeah.

You already gave me something.

What's this for?

Why are you giving me this?

I wanted you to take responsibility,

but I never meant to take away your hope.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Maybe there is more to life or maybe there isnae.

I don't know.

I've never been further than Dunoon.

But you need to away and see.

No.

I cannae start all that up again.

It's finished.

I always said I'd go to college

if I hadnae had to go to work at 15.

And I would have.

I wanted to be a pharmacist.

The thing is...

what was stopping me, you know?

Even after I had you, I could have gone.

But I think it was just easier for me to...

to want things for you

than to go after them for myself.

I hadnae the gumption.

That's the truth.

But you...

you do.

I'll look after the wains.

You go.

You see what's waiting for you.

Where did you get all this money from?

Amazing what you can do...

Welcome to the Ryman, the mother church of country music.

This is the exact spot where bluegrass was born

and where Johnny Cash met June Carter.

Now, it was right here that country music found an audience

beyond its own back porch

and countless careers took off.

Now, when the Grand Ole Opry put down roots here in 1943,

the live radio and TV show brought the likes of Elvis Presley,

Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins,

Minnie Pearl, Patsy Cline, and Roy Acuff

to the stage and into living rooms all around America.
