All language subtitles for Nashville S05E15 A Change Would Do You Good

Previously on "Nashville"...

Girl, you can sing.

If you stick with me, Hallie Jordan,

you're gonna make a record.

You found this girl on the street.

That's why I brought her here.

You can stay. Until we
figure something out.

I'm pregnant and you're the father.

Any chance of me being
with him is off the table.

You're the best person I've ever known.

Please, just say you'll try with me.

We're being stopped by
this cop for no reason.

- Ma'am, please stay in the car.
- You want him to get out?

Why didn't you ask me to get out?

- Ma'am get back in the car.
- Because he's black,

is that why. He did nothing wrong.

Hi, everyone. I'm Megan
Alexander With Inside Edition.

And we're live outside
the home of Maddie Jaymes.

Even as her actions have
inflamed a national debate,

the response from Jaymes
has been a deafening silence.

As we await an appearance
or possibly a statement,

let's go back to the
moment that started it all.

"Why'd you ask him to get
out of the car and not me?

Is it because he's black? Is that why?

"Because he's not
driving a Range Rover?"

- That's it. Turn it off.
- No.

I mean, when you look at the video,

Maddie Jaymes is certainly very upset.

Isn't it possible she thought there was

an actual threat, Greg?

This is a desperate plea for attention

from a teenager who lost her mother.

And that may be tragic,

but let's not reward bad behavior

just because we feel sorry for her.

Listen, this young man
was lucky that he had

- this teenager in a car with him.
- Wait...

Or he may not even be alive today.

Oh, come on, Eric.

No. I've been pulled over
three times this year, Greg.

How many times you been pulled over?

Hey, just lay low today, okay?

I'll be fine.

- (REPORTERS SHOUTING QUESTIONS)
- Back up. Back up!

- (HONKS CAR HORN)
- Is Maddie with you?

Get back! Step back.

- (HONKS CAR HORN)
- Come on!

Hey, I am so sorry, man. How's Maddie?

It is horrible. It's
a whole circus, man.

Well, I'm already on it.

We have a meeting with
Councilman Bryant tomorrow.

But in the meantime, I'd like
you to meet someone, real quick.

Um, yeah, sure.

I don't know how much you know

about the goings on in the tech world.

But her name might ring
a bell. Alyssa Green,

I'd like you to meet the one
and only Deacon Claybourne.

Nice to meet you, Ma'am.

Oh, no. The pleasure
is mine, Mr. Claybourne.

My friends who love country
music say that you are a legend.

Thank you.

I wanted to talk to you
about bringing Alyssa on board

as our Chief Strategy Officer.

Yeah, I told Zach there's no
way I am moving to Nashville.

But then started
describing the challenges

facing the music industry.

And I'm a sucker for anyone

who describes anything as impossible.

(LAUGHS) Alyssa helped Jack
Dorsey transform Twitter

from a janky podcast service
into the monster it is today.

She basically carved out a...
carved out a special niche

for herself as the go-to person

when your company
desperately needs to pivot.

You should check out her TED Talk.

I will do that, yeah.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, wait! Um...

Maybe I could just walk you
through the elevator pitch.

You know, if you could just
give me 20 minutes of your time?

Kind of a tall elevator.

Yeah, but it moves really fast.

- (LAUGHS) Here.
- (TAPS SEAT)

All right.

Just takes some deep breaths, okay?

Pretend like it's rehearsal.

Hey, girl, you ready?

No.

Honey, there are about 10
people in the audience tonight

that have the power to
change your life, all right?

So you're gonna go out
there. Act like you own,

and let that huge voice
of yours do the rest,

- Okay?
- Okay.

All right. Let's try that again.

Are you ready?

(SIGHS) Yes.

Close enough. Let's do it.

Hey, you. Thanks for coming.

My pleasure.

From the looks of it,

you convinced half the
labels in town to be here.

Nothing wrong with a
little healthy competition.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Hallie Jordan.

Woo!

Thank you all so much.

It's a real honor to be
playing at the Bluebird.

♪ I woke up this morning ♪

♪ Something on my mind ♪

♪ I'm here beside you ♪

♪ But I feel so far behind ♪

♪ I'm not the apple of your eye ♪

♪ Just a shame that
you're the one in mine ♪

♪ I know I love all the things we do ♪

♪ And I know it's not the same for you ♪

I can hear the whole album in my head.

You offering to produce it?

No, I'm begging. Just sign her already.

I'll handle the rest.

♪ Just some kind of ride ♪

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Hey, what's up?

I really miss you. Are you doing okay?

Maddie, everybody in my neighborhood

keeps staring at me, okay?

People keep ringing my
doorbell. I hate this!

(SIGHS) Well, I've been home all day.

- Do you want to come over?
- Are you serious?

I'm not even going outside.

Well, maybe I can come to you.

I'm busy.

Clay, are you sure you're okay?

Look, I gotta go, okay?

Nashville 5x15 June 22, 2017

- Synced and corrected by Dragoniod for -
www.Addic7ed.com...

Councilman shouldn't be
more than a few minutes.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Hey, so what'd you think about Alyssa?

Uh, yeah.

What's all this about
needing to pivot, huh?

You got your album.
It's selling like crazy.

And then what? The truth is,

the label survived on Rayna's fame.

What she brought in
subsidized everybody else.

Alyssa's whole mission
is to put us on a path

that would be sustainable
for years to come.

Yeah, with music, though,
right? Not widgets.

100%.

Look, if it makes you more comfortable,

I can ask if she's okay
with a trial period.

Like three months? And if you don't like

what she does by the end
of that, then we fire her.

I'll think about it.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

- Thank you for taking the time.
- Of course, Zach.

Deacon, I know it's been a
tough year for your family.

- I'm sorry.
- I appreciate that.

How's Maddie doing?

Well, she's afraid to go out in public.

She's afraid to look at her phone.

She's a tough girl. But
this is a little much.

She doesn't deserve it.

Now let's get her and
everyone else some relief.

Sounds like a plan to me.

How can we help?

Well, look, we're still
investigating the incident.

But in the meantime, we need
to send a message of unity.

What does that mean?

We need to make a group statement.

We'll get the chief of police,

representative from the NAACP,

me, Maddie.

She'll apologize and
everyone can just move on.

She should apologize?

That's the only way this is gonna work.

I'll talk to her.

My goodness, all this
stuff that's happening

with Maddie is just awful. Poor thing.

How much can happen to one person?

- Hi, Scarlett.
- Hi. Sorry.

You're... cooking.

You've cleaned.

There's candles and
music. What happened?

Uh, night off from
performing? Alone with you?

That's really sweet.

- Wow.
- Yeah. Smells good, right?

Don't burn your sauce.

It's fine. It's just simmering.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing. Just...

You know what? I think
it's this business

of having another thing inside me.

It's making everything feel off.

Even my taste buds.

- That's why I can't resist you.
- (CHUCKLES)

- You got that glow.
- Oh, thank you.

Well, I hope your appetite

for home-cooked pasta hasn't changed.

It is quite intact, I assure you.

Mr. Claybourne, I
don't know what to say.

Well, I'm sure you're gonna
be getting other offers.

But I just want to promise you

that nobody in this
town wants to sign you

as badly as I do.

Put her on speaker! Come on!

Just wait.

You wanna sleep on it, though?
Because, I mean, you can.

- Is that okay?
- Is what okay?

Of course, it is.

Thank you, Mr. Claybourne.

You're welcome, Hallie.

And call me Deacon.

Okay, sorry. Will do.

He wants to sign us!

That's amazing!

- What happens next?
- I have no idea.

He invited me to dinner tomorrow

to meet the rest of the artists.

I can see if there's room for all of us.

I get it.

It might bring up some questions anyway.

You know, once you've moved out,

then it'll be little eas...

You know how much I want to do that.

I know.

Tina was crying today,

because she had a bad report card.

Eric cut his foot at the playground.

It's like there's never a good time.

I get it.

Speaking of which, I
said I was gonna be back.

You gonna leave now?

I gotta go.

Brandi'll throw a fit.

All right, that's it.

I look like Iggy Azalea!

I used to steal my foster mom's makeup

like, all the time
when I was like, nine.

I can't believe you barely wear any.

I mean... I wear makeup.

I just like wear more when I perform.

Just hold still while
I do your lips, okay?

- Hey, Daph?
- Yeah?

I thought Mom didn't want us
to wear makeup till high school.

Maddie, we're in my
room just messing around.

I'm just saying she probably
wouldn't have liked it.

Yo! Why are you trying
to make her feel bad?

I'm not. I'm just trying
to talk to my sister.

Yea, aren't you late for an
apology tour or something?

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Yeah, something like that.

Want some mascara?

I think I'll live without it.

Hey, so good to see you.

You too. How's your dad doing?

Oh, he's doing okay.

- He's just working late as usual.
- Yeah.

You can hang for a bit if you want.

Thanks. Actually, I
wanted to talk to you.

I saw what happened, and...

I felt like I couldn't stay away.

Thank you. Some station in Memphis

just dropped me from their rotation.

If you can believe that.

You're a little young to remember this.

But when Natalie Maines got onstage

and criticized President Bush?

The Dixie Chicks got
dropped from every single

country radio station the next day.

Yeah, but that was a
long time ago, right?

In some ways, yeah.

Kacey Musgraves has done all right.

And her stuff gets a little bit risky.

But there's still some areas, you know.

God, country, military,
police, that are no-fly zones.

And, you know, you went there.

So what are you saying?

I can't tell you what
the right thing to do is.

All I can tell you is

that the music world can
be pretty unforgiving.

Especially with young artists.

Natalie never apologized.
And that was brave.

But her career was never the same.

- Hey, I need a minute.
- Of course.

Oh!

It's all gonna be okay, baby. I promise.

You're like me. You're a survivor.

What's your publicist saying to you?

My dad said the Councilman's office

wants me to apologize to everyone.

Some big organized press conference.

I don't understand why
people are so afraid

of a little controversy.

Can I ask you something?

Of course.

You have to be completely honest.

You saw the video, right?

Only about 50 times.

Do you think I did anything wrong?

I thought you were... amazing.

(CHUCKLES)

We're ready when you are, Juliette.

All right. Hang on.

All right, just... Let me walk you out.

No! I want to hear what
you've been working on.

No, honey. It's a mess.

Right now, I wanna... I
want to see your process.

Oh, you're killing me.

(SIGHS) Geez...

So, thank you all, for coming in.

I know you are super busy.

But I thought this would be
sort of a special occasion.

I'd like to introduce you all

to the new interim
Chief Strategy Officer

for Highway 65, Alyssa Greene.

Thank you. Hey, everyone.

I am a big believer in radical honesty.

So I'm just gonna tell you right now

that I have never worked
in the music business.

And I know zero about country music.

But sometimes it takes
an outside perspective

to see things clearly.

Album sales, they're never
going back to their glory days.

And with this roster
streaming, it's worth crap.

And touring deals from the
standpoint of this label?

Well, they are the
purview of the artist.

And that leaves us with
one market yet to be mined.

Brand partnerships.

- Hi. I'm Scarlett.
- Hi.

So you'd like us to
write a song for products?

Yes, and your first assignment
is Charmin toilet paper.

I'm kidding.

For those of you who don't know me,

which is all of you, I
am not always serious.

The point is, today's
consumer, they're sophisticated.

They don't want to feel
like they're watching an ad.

So coming from that perspective,
the best kind of integration,

it blends the interests of
an influencer and a brand

in a way that is entirely frictionless.

- Hi. I'm Gunnar.
- Hi.

I'm still confused by what that means.

Okay, do you remember the
skydiver, Felix Baumgartner,

breaking the sound barrier?

Well, he was sponsored by Red Bull.

If we do this right, you
can find the resources

you need to allow yourselves
to grow as artists.

And still do it on your own terms.

And make the companies
paying for this happy?

I'm telling you it is possible.

Okay, guys, I'm sensing some hesitancy.

And I completely understand that.

- Thank you, Alyssa.
- Yeah.

All we are asking is that
you give this a chance, okay?

See what kind of doors it would unlock.

Why you looking at me? Dylan does it.

Y'all better than him?

Gotta make some sacrifices
around here, all right?

Not a big damn deal.

- Go on.
- Okay.

(TALKING AND LAUGHING)

(TAPS GLASS)

The other night, I saw
someone play at the Bluebird,

and it gave me chills.

Now that has happened a
couple of times in this town.

But those moments are
few and far between.

So I want to thank my friend, Juliette,

for introducing me to someone

who we very much hope
will become a member

of this Highway 65 family.

And it is a family.

Hallie, artists like you

are the reason why
Rayna started this label.

- Cheers.
- Cheers!

(ALL) Cheeers.

Cheers.

You know, roots music has
always been a passion of mine.

But it's only been the
last couple of years

that I discovered groups like
the New Lost City Ramblers,

Joe Thompson, Mississippi Sheiks...

Wait a minute. You
know about Joe Thompson?

Yeah. Yeah, he's amazing.

And, you know, not enough
people know about his stuff.

And it's just... It's another reason why

what you're doing is really special.

Well, thank you.

Listen, Hallie, I would be thrilled

if you'd consider having
me produce your album.

- Seriously?
- Absolutely.

That's amazing.

And there are some incredible musicians

that we could bring in for it.

I mean, when I saw you
at the Bluebird, it...

Wait, wait, wait. I mean, that's great.

But I'm confused. I
mean, I've got my guys.

Yeah, no, I know, and they're good.

But, Hallie, you need great, you know.

People that don't just do it right

but do it in a way that just
takes it to another level.

You want me to fire my band?

No, no. That's not what I'm saying.

I'm just saying that, for this album,

I think we have better options.

Check this out, and then we
can go back downstairs, okay?

- Here. Look.
- What.

(LAUGHS) Wait. Where did you find that?

I made it myself, but
it's not online yet.

- Should I publish it?
- What?

No, you can't post that.

It's just a joke. You
just laughed at it.

- Yeah, but this isn't...
- Don't you think that

she takes everything just like
a little bit too seriously?

Besides, it's not like anyone's gonna

even really see it anyways.

Okay, fine.

Cool. It's up, let's go.

Hey, are you okay?

What's going on?

I brought up moving out with Brandi.

She just freaked out.

Started throwing stuff.

She said she's gonna take the kids.

She can't do that.

I just don't know what to do.

You've got to get a lawyer.

With what money, Hallie?

I'm sorry. I can go.

No. Come on. Let's go inside.

Maddie, get in the
car. What are you doing.

No! This is insane!

Wait a second.

- Are you kidding me?
- No, Ma'am, I'm not.

You're being detained for
refusal to follow my command.

Some new developments
today in the police incident

involving Maddie Jaymes,

the daughter of deceased
country legend, Rayna Jaymes.

There's been a lot of speculation,

but few hard facts, about
the driver of the vehicle,

Clayton Carter.

But police reports have
surfaced today that indicate

this is not Carter's first
brush with law enforcement.

Five years ago, the Louisville
City Police Department

responded to reports
of a domestic dispute

between Carter and the
boyfriend of his late mother.

Officers arrived on
the scene to find Carter

barricaded inside the family's bathroom

threatening to kill himself.

And now we've obtained 911 audio from...

Hey, you missed me. Leave a message.

♪♪

So the key here is to rip
the Band-Aid off quickly.

So it doesn't overshadow
the release of your EP.

- I'm not saying this.
- Any of it?

"I was in a highly
anxious state at the time.

"And lost control of my emotions,

"and acted with a profound
disrespect to law enforcement.

"I'm a teenager and I
had a teenage response

to what happened." No way.

Look, maybe we could
change some of the words.

Make them more yours,
what you want to say...

No. It's not about the specific words.

If I did something wrong,
then so did the cops.

And that did not say that.

All right, well, this
is not his apology.

- This is your apology.
- Maddie, Maddie?

I came up in PR in crisis management.

And what I learned is that
it's a lot like marriage.

Sometimes you just have
to say you're sorry.

And pretend that you mean it.

Then count me out. I'm not doing this.

Baby, look,

all this stuff that is happening,

it is not going away.

And I see how that's hurting you.

And it's killing me to see it.

So why don't you say some of this stuff.

And make it go away?
Isn't that what we want?

- Move on?
- Not if it means having to lie.

I'm not asking you to lie.

And I admire the way you're standing up

for what you believe. But...

you're honestly gonna tell me

there's nothing you would
change about that night?

I'm late for work. Sorry, guys.

Oh my God. Oh, my God, Liv?

The page you created, it's blowing up!

Oh, my God, really mean stuff.

Wow, It is!

(LAUGHS) I mean, that was pretty funny.

Liv! Delete it!

It's a little late for that.

- Just do it!
- Fine!

But I can't stop other people
from doing their own versions.

So this plan for the label?
What Alyssa was talking about?

What'd you think?

I guess it's worth considering.

- That's great.
- And what did the others think?

I get the feeling it's
gonna be a tough sell.

I don't know, do you think
you could maybe help with that?

Explain it from your perspective,

from the artist's perspective.

I don't know, man.

Look, it was awkward enough

when I agreed to talk to Deacon
about releasing that album.

These are my best friends.

They know we're together.

It just doesn't feel right.

Well, even if you apart from me

think it's not such a horrible idea?

That part's irrelevant.

Look, I just don't wanna feel like

I'm some sort of middle man...

No, I get it, I get
it. I do, and I'm sorry.

But, you know, for the record,

I am just trying to help
all you guys succeed.

I know.

Maybe just...

keep me out of this
stuff moving forward.

Of course.

- Surprise.
- Oh hey.

Please tell me you're
here to teach me Excel.

Hell, no. How's Maddie?

Ah, well, she's a teenager.

Full of idealism.

Better than cynicism, I guess.

- Some days.
- (CHUCKLES)

How about you?

Last time I spoke with you,
you was in a bit of a pickle.

Kinda resolved itself.

I mean, Damien's back
in London or Romania

or wherever he better belongs.

And Gunnar?

Oh, Gunnar and I are... something.

You're something?

We spend all our time together

like we're a couple, except...

is it weird that.. Okay, is it weird
I never really want to be physical?

Sorry. I know it's too much information,

but it's weird.

For the first time, he's steady

and he knows what he wants.

And he's standing by
me and my baby, and...

Sweetie, I can't tell you what to do.

But I can say this.

Life will deal you some strange hands.

Amen.

You may not feel a certain
way for him right now.

Doesn't mean it can't change back.

Maybe just take a little pressure off

how you're supposed to feel. You can

appreciate the fact that he said

he's gonna stand by your
side on this journey.

- Thank you.
- Was that good?

Yeah, that was really good.

Feels like a 15-pound weight's
just been lifted off my chest.

I love you so much.

- Oh, you do look taller.
- Oh, thank you.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

(HEAVY ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Hey, you missed me. Leave a message.

Hi. Can I help you?

Uh, yeah. You're Maddie Jaymes, right?

- Who are you?
- My name is Justin.

I'm a reporter for The Nation.
I just had a few questions.

- No, I'm not talking to you.
- Maddie, listen.

A lot of people have been
saying a lot of stupid things.

But I'm here to tell you that
I think you were really brave.

Yeah, okay.

You know how many videos of black people

getting harassed by
police get made every day?

And 95% of them don't even become news.

It took you standing up as
an ally to people of color

to make this a big story.

You've got a platform.

Don't you have anything you want to say?

I can't do this.

Why not?

I can't record without my band.

George will be devastated.

Oh, you mean the guitar player

who says he's in love with you?

But he still lives
with his wife? That one?

They're not a couple anymore.

They live in separate bedrooms.

And it's only...

Are you listening to the words

that are coming out of your mouth?

If I were your sister or your daughter

and I were saying this to you,

that I was gonna walk away

from the biggest opportunity in my life

because I was in love with some schmuck,

what would you say to me?

I'm not in love with him.

It's about something more than that.

What's it about?

George and I...

we created the sound for my music.

Did he write any of the songs?

No.

Do you think he's a musician
of exceptional talent?

He needs me, okay?

I get that.

What I don't understand
is why you need him.

When he's onstage with me, I feel safe.

Honey, listen to me.

Safety is the enemy.

If you are not willing to take risks,

you might as well just go
on back to your day job.

Maybe I should.

Nine ball, corner pocket.

So is it true you're gonna
be producing Hallie's album?

It's not set in stone, but I think so.

That is amazing.

- That girl's got some pipes.
- Mmhmm.

Maybe if you're lucky,
Deacon'll let you cut a track

of her singing about
vacuum cleaners or tires.

You think Deacon wants
to be in that position?

Nobody's got more
integrity than my uncle.

Besides, he's got a business to run.

Two girls to take care of.

And he's gotta pay all of y'all.

- Would you cut it out?
- Told you.

Look, I get it.

You gotta do whatever it
takes to make ends meet.

Hell, I used to make jingles,

Whatever, it's just selling
out to Silicon Valley

- and the bottom line.
- Cheers.

I need you, buddy. She's killing us.

- Okay.
- Finally! Let me just say again.

Zach's not a bad guy. He's
just trying to do his job.

Yeah, but do you like the idea?

Uh... still thinking about it.

- What if we say no?
- I don't know.

Why is everybody always acting

like something bad's gonna happen?

I don't know, maybe because

we've heard about devious billionaires.

(TEXT MESSAGE RINGS)

- Oh, shoot. I gotta run.
- What's up?

Oh, nothing, it's just the
usual routine with Juliette.

What's that?

She starts the fires and I put 'em out.

- Yep.
- Bye.

Here.

I don't like being in this position.

I'm a musician myself.

I don't want to put anyone out of a job.

But the music...

the music has to come first.

It's bigger than all of us.

You just need to trust me.

Well, what are you suggesting?

Two hours in the
studio tomorrow morning.

With the players I want on your record.

You have no idea how big
a deal this is for me.

I think I do.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What is it?
- Uh, nothing.

Just people being mean.

I just reacted, you
know. I didn't even think.

And now everyone's making
me into all types of things.

And even you think it was my fault.

I never said that.

I didn't, baby. Maddie?

What happened?

Just a bunch of people online,

saying really mean, horrible
things about your sister.

I'll never understand
it. A 17-year-old girl?

What kind of person does that?

Why don't we just try one from the top?

(MUSIC PLAYS)

- There she is.
- Hi.

Sorry I'm late.

Welcome. Come on.

So, uh, that's Kevin
Burns on the guitar.

Dwayne Simpson on the drums.

Allen Frazier on organ.

Dawn McCarthy on bass.

I just gave them the
song like 20 minutes ago,

if you can believe it.

That's amazing.

Can I go sing with them?

It's your song, Hallie. Go for it.

- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
- Hey, it's me.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Clay?

- Hey.
- Hi.

What's wrong?

I can't sleep.

When did you last?

Three days ago.

Okay, can I get you something?

Will you let me take you somewhere?

Look, Maddie,

- can't help me.
- Why?

Because we can't keep going like this.

So you're breaking up with me over this?

Maddie, look...

there's nothing really to break up.

Okay, we were never really
boyfriend and girlfriend.

There was never a real place for us.

We just couldn't admit it.

How do you know that?

Will you just look at me?

I care about you so much.

And maybe it was because on some level,

I knew this wouldn't work.

But I let myself feel.

And I feel so much for you.

Me too.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Oh, Maddie, baby.

It's okay.

I'm sorry for being so stubborn.

Well, hey, no.

I just hated seeing you in pain.

I just wanted to get it over with

the quickest way I saw how.

Come on.

Your mama was a fighter.

She passed that down to you.

Listen...

whatever you want to do, you do it.

I got your back.

I don't even know anymore.

All those people out there,

they think they know
you from that video,

but they don't.

That's not the full
picture. Not by a mile.

You are a wonderful,
generous, kind young woman.

And I'm so proud to be your dad.

I think you need to say
something in your own words.

And you need to let them
know who you really are,

- All right?
- All right.

- I love you.
- Oh, I love you too, baby.

What's wrong?

I'm not sure this is gonna work.

Okay, let's rewind a second.

Wh-what... What's going on?

(SIGH) I just don't feel like

I can be myself as a
musician and go out with you.

And be loyal to my
friends at the same time.

- I can't give up on who I am...
- Time out.

I love everything about you.

I don't want to change you.

I'm a gay man who plays country music.

It's a tough deal.

If I start singing about mops

or fertilizer, or
something I mean, it's...

What?

Ah, nothing.

Just funny how life works sometimes.

Alyssa got a call about you today.

But I'm definitely not
talking about it now.

Well, what was it?

- Never mind.
- No! You gotta tell me now!

You're the one who said you didn't want

to sing about mops, right?

Budweiser, the King of Beers.

Already working with Thomas Rhett

and Florida Georgia Line.

And now they want you.

- W-w-what?
- Yeah.

Imagine John Wayne
coming out of the closet.

An openly gay man portrayed
as the pinnacle of masculinity.

Budweiser wants to work with me?

Yes, he said it again. Yes!

Will, it would be historic.

Damn.

Yeah. But, you know,
let's not talk about it.

Because it is selling mops, right?

Damn.

- Just stop.
- (LAUGHING)

- Hey, Daph?
- Yeah, what's up?

Can you come help me with something?

Hi. My name is Maddie Jaymes.

If you know who I am,
it's probably because

of a video that's being going
around for the past week.

And that's what I want to talk about.

I know that I used some bad language.

And I used it towards a police officer.

And I'm sorry for that.

I understand that he was trying
to do a very difficult job.

And he did his best
under the circumstances.

Even if I had a problem with it.

And I escalated a situation

that was already a pretty tense one.

And I apologize for that too.

But I'm not sorry for
trying to protect my friend.

His name is Clayton.

And because of what happened,

a lot of terrible things
have been said about him.

And I really just want to clear that up.

He is not my boyfriend.

He is an artist, an
incredible one. And...

one of the kindest,

most sensitive people
that I've ever met.

And I'm sure if you met him,
you would feel the same way.

And my actions have caused him pain.

So, Clayton, this one is for you.

Thank you, Daph.

I love you.

Next, on "Nashville"...

Why don't people have lives?

Why are they so concerned
with my Gunnar and I do.

Damien wants something. Damien gets it.

He is one charming guy.

He's the father, isn't he?

Maddie, that's my laptop.

You made this.

She got millions of people talking...

Stay out of this! This is my family.

And my house. Get out!

You're not fooling anyone

with your little Ms. Innocent routine.

The smiles, the touching.

- It's not like that.
- It's totally not like that.

I think it is like that.

Previously on "Nashville"...

Girl, you can sing.

If you stick with me, Hallie Jordan,

you're gonna make a record.

You found this girl on the street.

That's why I brought her here.

You can stay. Until we
figure something out.

I'm pregnant and you're the father.

Any chance of me being
with him is off the table.

You're the best person I've ever known.

Please, just say you'll try with me.

We're being stopped by
this cop for no reason.

- Ma'am, please stay in the car.
- You want him to get out?

Why didn't you ask me to get out?

- Ma'am get back in the car.
- Because he's black,

is that why. He did nothing wrong.

Hi, everyone. With Inside Edition.

And we're live outside
the home of Maddie Jaymes.

Even as her actions have
inflamed a national debate,

the response from Jaymes
has been a deafening silence.

As we await an appearance
or possibly a statement,

let's go back to the
moment that started it all.

"Why'd you ask him to get
out of the car and not me?

Is it because he's black? Is that why?

"Because he's not
driving a Range Rover?"

That's it. Turn it off.

I mean, when you look at the video,

Maddie Jaymes is certainly very upset.

Isn't it possible she thought there was

an actual threat, Greg?

This is a desperate plea for attention

from a teenager who lost her mother.

And that may be tragic,

but let's not reward bad behavior

just because we feel sorry for her.

Listen, this young man
was lucky that he had

this teenager in a car with him. Wait...

Or he may not even be alive today.

Oh, come on, Eric.

No. I've been pulled over
three times this year, Greg.

How many times you been pulled over?

Hey, just lay low today, okay?

I'll be fine.

(REPORTERS SHOUTING
QUESTIONS) Back up. Back up!

(HONKS CAR HORN) Is Maddie with you?

Get back! Step back.

(HONKS CAR HORN) Come on!

Hey, I am so sorry, man. How's Maddie?

It is horrible. It's
a whole circus, man.

Well, I'm already on it.

We have a meeting with
Councilman Bryant tomorrow.

But in the meantime, I'd like
you to meet someone, real quick.

Um, yeah, sure.

I don't know how much you know

about the goings on in the tech world.

But her name might ring
a bell. Alyssa Green,

I'd like you to meet the one
and only Deacon Claybourne.

Nice to meet you, Ma'am.

Oh, no. The pleasure
is mine, Mr. Claybourne.

My friends who love country
music say that you are a legend.

Thank you.

I wanted to talk to you
about bringing Alyssa on board

as our Chief Strategy Officer.

Yeah, I told Zach there's no
way I am moving to Nashville.

But then started
describing the challenges

facing the music industry.

And I'm a sucker for anyone

who describes anything as impossible.

(LAUGHS) Alyssa helped Jack
Dorsey transform Twitter

from a janky podcast service
into the monster it is today.
