All language subtitles for Nashville s04e18

Previously on "Nashville"...

Some people aren't into playing
an openly gay artist on the radio.

It's an order to appear in court
for an emancipation hearing.

If you keep going down this road,

I will make sure that no one
ever works with you again.

We should try to prepare for tomorrow.

We've been doing interviews
for four days straight.

It's Rolling Stone.

You're extraordinary, Scarlett.

I knew you'd change my life.

Juliette: I don't want
to lie to you anymore.

I still love you.
You just take your time.

You know where to find me.

Juliette, the only thing going on

between Avery and Layla is her music.

[Sighs]

You are a good mother.

You know that.

Then why am I facing
our daughter in court today?

Because she's having the wool
pulled over her eyes.

That's why.

No judge is gonna rule in favor
of a 16-year-old runaway.

[Sighs]

I can't believe we have to
go through all this.

I know.

We're gonna get through it together.

So, nervous?

It was my first acting gig.

I highly doubt I'm gonna get
nominated for an Oscar.

[Scoffs] You never know.

Hey, did Avery say anything
to you last night

when he dropped Cadence off?

About the Oscars?

About anything.

Not really, no.

Wait, here we go. This is it.

They're gonna announce your category.

Man: For performance by an
actress in a leading role,

the nominees are...

- Juliette Barnes, "Shenandoah Girl."
- Oh, my!

- Yes!
- [Laughs]

(Laughing): Congratulations!

[Cellphones ringing]

[Pounding on door]

Shep: Hey!

[Pounding continues]

- Who? What? Sorry, yeah.
- Oh, good morning.

Rolling Stone has been waiting
for 20 minutes,

and where's Gunnar?
He's not in his room.

I don't know. I'll be right there.

- Gunnar, get up!
- What?

[Water running]

Rolling Stone, interview.

We're late. Wake up!

Oh, crap.

Man: Hey, next up,
we're gonna play a song

that's gotten quite a few
requests this morning.

Not sure how the management's
gonna feel about it

because it comes from an artist

who made quite a splash a year ago.

It's called "Spinning Revolver,"

and it's by Will Lexington.

["Spinning Revolver" plays]

-
Well, a heart

-
Hangin' on a string

- My song's on the damn radio!
-
It don't take much

[Laughs]

My song's on the radio!

Ah! Ow. Ooh.

[Elevator bell dings]

- [Chuckles]
- What floor?

- Um, uh, the lobby.
- Lobby.

Thank you.

[Groans]

- Let me give you a hand.
- [Chuckles]

- I got you.
- Thank you.

So, are we gonna talk about
what happened?

Was it just the scotch?

No, it wasn't just the scotch.

[Elevator bell dinging]

[Elevator bell dings]

Finally. Come on.

[Clears throat]

But this is less formal
than an actual trial, right?

Yes, but the same rules apply.

There will be testimony,
cross examinations, objections.

What there can't be
is any sort of outburst.

At least not from us.

It's gonna be an emotional day.

Not gonna be a problem.

Helps that it's private.

'Cause the plaintiff's a minor,
only those named in the case

or invited by either party
can be present.

Then what's he doing here?

I don't know.

Hey.

What's going on?

Cash asked me to come.

Couldn't say no to my daughter.
You understand that, don't you?

No, I don't.

What she's doing here is wrong, Frankie,

and you should tell her that.

Even if I did, kids don't always listen.

Bailiff: All rise for the
Honorable Judge Goenner.

You may be seated.

[Cellphone ringing]

[Groans]

Something wrong with Cadence?

No, she's fine.
Sorry to call you this early.

Juliette: I just got nominated
for an Oscar.

What's going on?

Oh. One sec.

That's great. Congratulations.

Who is that?

Is somebody there with you?

[Sighs] Look, uh, I'm sorry you
had to find out like this.

Tell me who it is.

I... it doesn't matter who I'm with.

I-I don't have to explain myself
to you anymore, Juliette.

I-I have to go.

Now all the talk shows are calling.

What's wrong?

Avery's with Layla.

Synced & corrected by kinglouisxx
www.addic7ed.com

What the hell, Emily?

I asked you point blank

if Avery was sleeping with Layla
and you said no!

Because I didn't think he was.

What, is this some sort
of loyalty thing?

Have you been covering for him
this entire time?

Juliette, I didn't know anything
about it, I swear!

I feel like such an idiot.

Why?

Because I went to his room last night

and I asked him for another chance.

I told him I still loved him.

And he said he loved me.

Then I don't understand.

Why would he be with her?

Oh, my God.

She's manipulating him.

What?

She's manipulating everyone.

First she signs with my manager,

then she takes a spot
on my old tour. Now Avery.

She is trying to steal my life!

That doesn't make any sense.
Why would she do that?

[Scoffs]

Is everything okay with Juliette?

Yeah.

She, uh, just called to tell me

that she got an Oscar nomination.

Good for her.

Listen...

Last night was great,

but, um, I have to go
pick up Cadence now.

Okay.

Hey, Layla.

I really did have a great time, okay?

Mm.

[Door opens, closes]

Hi, Stephanie. So sorry we're late.

It's all right.

Most musicians aren't morning people.

Leon here is gonna take
a few pictures for the article.

You guys don't mind, do you?

- No.
- No, no, not at all.

Excuse me.

Can we grab two coffees...
one with cream, one black.

Waitress: Sure thing.

So, The Exes opening for Autumn Chase

as your single makes its way
up the country charts.

Not bad for a couple kids

who met at the Bluebird Caf?
a few years ago.

Well, actually, we, uh,
we didn't meet there.

We... we met at a street fair
in East Nashville.

Which [Chuckles] I wasn't even
aware of until last night.

Wait, so the Bluebird wasn't
where it all began for you two?

It's where we became a duo.

If Gunnar hadn't have put
one of my poems to music,

dragged me up onstage,
and forced me to sing it,

we might never have happened at all.

Tara: Let's talk about the future.

Well, I'm working toward my GED,
which I should have soon.

And I've already gotten offers
from record labels.

Good ones, so I'll completely
be able to support myself.

I don't want my daughter
worrying about money

and career right now.

I-I want her to be able
to be a teenager.

And is this sentiment shared
by your ex-husband

and Maddie's father, Teddy Conrad?

Yes, it is,

and I have an affidavit
signed by him stating as much.

We both feel very strongly

that Maddie needs to be at home
with her family,

and we have major concerns about
her living situation right now.

This young woman that she's staying with

has already exercised very poor
judgment in regards to Maddie.

Rayna and Deacon brought me in.

Both of them told me how great
I was for their daughter

as a songwriting partner
and as a role model.

Now as Maddie's friend,

I am trying to help her get out
from underneath her parents,

who are truly trying to keep her down.

I honestly don't feel as though

they have her best interests at heart.

There's just no way in the world

that Cash can care more about
my daughter's future than I do.

And in my opinion,

Cash is trying to exploit Maddie.

She's practically working as a manager,

which she's not qualified to do.

I asked her to act as my manager.

If anyone's being controlling,
it's my mother.

She's the one who kept me
from signing with Sony

so she could keep me on her own label.

She has not included me
in any decisions,

professional or personal.

Rayna: I'm trying to guide her.

It's not about controlling,
it's about protecting.

I know what it is

for young girls to try
to get into this business.

They need guidance.

I didn't have that, and I wish I did.

Maddie, I'm your mother.

I love you.

Please don't push me away.

- [Knock on door]
- [Bleep]

[Door opens]

What's with the glare?

You're sleeping with Layla?

Excuse me?

I just got reamed by Juliette.
How long has this been going on?

[Sighs]

Not that it's any of your business,

but it just happened
for the first time last night.

[Scoffs] So, right after Juliette
showed up on your doorstep

and told you she loved you
and you said you loved her.

- It's complicated, okay?
- No, no.

It's not right, is what it is.

No, I'll tell you what isn't right.

All I want is a fresh start,
but she won't let me go!

Fine. It's your life.

You know, I just hope
you didn't sleep with Layla

to keep yourself
from being with Juliette.

[Door opens, closes]

- [Sighs]
- [Cellphone rings]

Hello?

- Does Layla know?
- Know what, kiddo?

What happened on the rooftop in Atlanta.

W... Um... I can't imagine.

I didn't tell her,
and neither did Gabriella.

We, uh, handled it
with the utmost discretion.

Why are you asking?

Because she's sleeping with my husband!

You mean your ex-husband, right?

Don't you think that's crazy?

It's got to be some
psychotic form of revenge.

Juliette, I think maybe
you're a little paranoid here.

Sometimes people just
fall for each other,

especially if they're working together.

I am telling you that Avery
would never choose her!

Not unless she wormed her way
into his good graces.

- Okay.
- This girl's got an agenda,

and I'm gonna prove it.

Juliette...

[Sighs]

[Cellphone rings]

Whatever you're about to say
needs to be sane, okay?

Or at least delivered in a calm voice.

Okay.

Well, um, Will's single is being played

in the top 20 markets...
New York, Chicago, L.A.

Oh, that's great.
Uh, what about Nashville?

Any play up there?

Yeah, but...[Sighs]

Let me guess... that was good news?

- You near a TV?
- Yeah.

You might want to turn it on.

Woman: The sad part is
I used to be a huge fan.

I even met him socially before.

But I can't turn a blind eye
to the agenda he's pushing.

Luke Wheeler is suggesting
Americans are bigots.

Why?

Because we don't like certain lifestyles

being made to seem normal
to us and to our kids.

Do we really want them
turning on the radio

and hearing an avowed
homosexual like Will Lexington?

Rayna invested so much time
and energy in me.

I-I felt terrible letting her down.

So much so that I-I almost
moved back to Mississippi.

But I discovered
that it wasn't performing

that was the problem.

It was performing alone.

And I was lucky enough
that Gunnar and Avery

still wanted to sing with me
when I got back.

Gunnar: Come on. [Scoffs]

We were the lucky ones.
I mean, that voice.

Before you joined them, though,

they were in a group with your
childhood friend Zoey Dalton.

Yeah.

And you and Zoey were in
a romantic relationship, right?

Uh, yep.

That had to have been difficult for you.

Your ex-boyfriend and your
best friend getting together.

Uh, I mean, not... not really.

- I didn't know about it for a while, so...
- Stephanie: Oh.

So they kept it from you.

[Chuckles] No, we... we
wanted to be sensitive

to Scarlett's feelings.

I think it's just a chapter
we saw different.

- That's all.
- Shep: Time to travel.

Soundcheck awaits.

Gunnar: Okay. Thank you.

[Keyboard clacking]

So, how do you think it's going?

Look, I know this judge.
She's got kids of her own.

Really think you're winning her over.

Tara: Honestly,
if we don't turn the dial up,

she won't rule in our favor.

We need to use our alternate strategy.

Look, I know
that you don't want to do that.

- I don't.
- Tara says that we have to.

Tara: I'll only have you back
on the stand 15 minutes, tops.

Hey.

Ask yourself this...

How bad do you want your freedom?

Tara: Your mother's husband,
Deacon Claybourne...

how is he related to you?

He's my biological father.

Though he's only known that
for a few years.

So, he hasn't been a parent for long?

Can you remember ever
being scared by his behavior?

Yes.

Can you tell us about that?

Well, he, like, pulled me
offstage when I was performing,

and he shoved a photographer
to the ground one time.

Like, really hard.

And at his house, he, like,
completely destroyed a room.

Can you put a stop to this?

I'd be overruled.

This line of questioning
goes directly to her feelings

- about being in the home.
- Tara: Maddie, last question.

Have you ever feared for
your personal safety around him?

Tell the truth, Maddie.

[Maddie sniffles]

[Sighs]

Yes.

And I wouldn't feel safe
living with him anymore.

Yeah, I heard what she had to
say, and we'll just push back.

No, no, the last thing I want to do

is dignify it with a response.

Well, in my experience,

Cynthia's bark's always been
a lot worse than her bite,

but I get where you're coming from.

How about, um, "Ellen" or "The View"?

No, Luke, you don't get
where I'm coming from

because if you did, you'd know
I don't want to talk at all.

Is it a good single?

Yeah, it is.
That's all that should matter.

That's all that should get said.

Will, I respect your opinion on this,

but she fired a shot.

We're not just gonna get away
by ignoring it.

How'd you feel if I went
on Cynthia's show instead?

I've met her before,

and she's not as unreasonable
as she sounds on TV.

[Sighs]

If... if that's what you want to do.

Hey. Sorry about that.

[Laughs] Soundcheck went longer
than we thought it would.

No prob. So, where did we leave off?

[Sighs]

Okay.

So, you two perform as The Exes,

but you never speak
about your personal relationship

in interviews.

How did it start?

Tell me about your first date.

Uh, [Chuckles]
we didn't really have one.

[Chuckling] No.

It just sort of happened
over time, I guess.

Yeah, we... we were co-workers
and writing partners,

then roommates...

And it hit you like a bolt of lightning?

Or one of you made the first move?

Oh, really?

So, what made you finally
cross the line, Scarlett?

Um, it was a really turbulent time,

and...

um, Gunnar's brother just passed away,

and I cared very much about him,

and it... it brought us together.

[Cellphone ringing]

[Sighs] I'm so sorry.

It's my editor.

I have to take this. I'll be right back.

Stephanie: Yeah, I'm in the
middle of an interview right now.

So, if... if Jason hadn't passed away,

we would've never gotten together?

What?

So, it was just... it was pity sex?

That's not what I said at all.

Yeah, that's... that's what you meant.

No, it's not. At all.

Guess it's just another chapter
we see differently.

Apologies.
Let's get back to it, shall we?

Glenn, tweet whatever you want
from my account.

"I'm thrilled, I'm honored,"
blah, blah, blah.

- You seen Layla?
- I think she's in her dressing room.

Listen, I got to go.

[Knock on door]

Hey. Can we talk?

Sure.

About this morning...

I think we both know
how difficult this would be

with Cadence and Juliette and...

Avery, stop.

I get it.

Look, last night was wonderful,

but this morning and right now,

I know there are
a lot of mixed feelings,

and I can see how hard that is on you.

And I don't want that.

You have a lot on your plate right now,

and I don't want to make your life

any more complicated than it already is.

I care about you too much to do that.

So, maybe it would be better

if we just go back
to the way things were.

Just go back to being friends.

Look, uh...

I'm just gonna be honest with you, okay?

I don't really know where I am
on a lot of things right now,

but I do know
that you've been a great friend,

and talented as hell,
and you're not complicated,

and that's... that's a beautiful thing.

So, if it doesn't scare you
too much to be with me

even though my life
is a complete mess...

[Chuckles]

...I think we should give it a shot.

That is, if...

if you're still interested.

Yeah.

But you've never actually been injured

by Mr. Claybourne, correct?

No.

David: Nothing further.

Judge Goenner: You may step down.

[Sobs]

Come here.

[Maddie crying]

Counsel, is there anything else?

Tara: Yes, Your Honor.

We'd like to call
Deacon Claybourne to the stand.

Thank you for agreeing to testify today.

Glad to have a chance
to explain a couple of things

that my daughter was referring to.

Actually, that's not
what I'd like to talk about.

Mr. Claybourne, is it true you got into
an altercation with Maddie's father

and then Mayor Teddy Conrad
in front of City Hall?

Look, when that happened, I...

Is it also true that you attacked

a member of the Revel Kings
backstage at a concert

- when you were a member of that band?
- Objection.

Overruled.

Goes to pattern of behavior.
I'd like to hear it.

Tara: Mr. Claybourne,

is it true you got into an
altercation with Luke Wheeler?

[Scoffs]

Mr. Wheeler was in my house...

Did you or did you not drunkenly
give your then girlfriend

and now wife a black eye in the early '90s?

It was an accident.

I am an alcoholic.

I was blacked out at the time.
I do not even recall it.

How do they even know any of this?

From Maddie?

I mean, they couldn't have had time
to hire a private investigator.

Is it true you once
choked out Coleman Carlisle

in an alcoholic rage?

[Scoffs]

May I remind you you are under oath?

Did you attack Coleman Carlisle
in an alcoholic rage?

Mr. Claybourne.

Yes.

And is it true you got into
yet another altercation

punching a man in
the parking lot of the Bluebird?

Yes.

Is it true you were involved
in a drunk-driving accident

that took the life
of your friend Vince Jamison?

Yes.

And is it true that you were
the cause of a car accident

that almost took the life
of Maddie's mother,

your wife, Rayna Jaymes?

Yes.

I can't believe she's doing this.

I can't believe he did it.

I told Frankie every one of those things
in the strictest of confidence.

- I know.
- You know that's why he's here, too.

Because he told his daughter every
bit of it and her damn lawyer, too.

Well, and Lord knows what lies
Cash is telling Maddie.

I just... I don't recognize
our daughter right now.

Well, it won't hurt our case.

We explained your actions in cross,

we established
how long you've been sober.

We rebutted everything as well
as we possibly could have.

David: They played that card
out of desperation.

Well, I just hope the judge sees that.

Well, either way, it's in her hands now.

She'll make a decision
by tomorrow morning.

All we can do now is wait.

[Sighs]

Can I at least get a monitor?

It's kind of hard to have
a conversation this way.

Yeah, I'm sorry, man. This was put
together really quick today, so...

So, just look right at the camera?

- Exactly.
- Yeah.

Cynthia: And of course, we'll
know more in November, won't we?

Up next is a man who made
a pretty big statement recently,

one I take issue with.

Please welcome to the show
Mr. Luke Wheeler.

Thanks for being on the show, Luke.

My pleasure, Cynthia.

I understand you're performing
tonight, so let's not waste any time.

Luke, why use your celebrity status

- to tell America what to think?
- [Laughs]

Well, uh, all due respect,
that's not what I'm doing.

I'm an artist and a label head,

which means my only interest
is in producing good music.

Will Lexington's music is great,

and his being gay
has nothing to do with it.

That's right.

Oh, Luke, it's got everything
to do with it.

How are we supposed to separate
the musician from the music?

And isn't promoting
this particular musician

a tacit approval of his lifestyle?

Come on. Give me a break.

Well, like I said,
being gay is not an issue,

- certainly not for me.
- Oh!

I wonder how true that is.

You have a son, isn't that right, Luke?

I mean, if your son came home one day

with a boyfriend on his arm,
would you be happy about that?

Look, I'd love my son no matter what.

Of course you do.

But would you be happy about it?

No. I wouldn't be happy...

[Beep]

...because it'd be a harder life
for him thanks to people like you.

- I-I'm sorry, th-the feed was cut.
- No, cables are good, check the GR.

Wait, when?

Oh, I'm sorry. We're having some

- technical difficulty, but...
- No. No, no, no, no, no.

...that doesn't change the facts...

that even after urging the nation

to demand more airplay for his artist,

even he's conflicted.

But we're not, because we know
right from wrong.

And it's wrong
when sports figures or actors

or singers use their status to
force-feed us their opinions.

Oh, like you're not?!

Stick to singing, Luke.
You're so good at it.

Because politics and music don't mix.

And if you, like me,
like listening to the radio

without thinking about what gay men do,

call every country
radio station in your area

and you tell them what you want...

for this immorality to stop.

I'm gonna call Abby's
and check on Daphne.

Okay.

No, I'm not.

- I can't even have a conversation right now.
- [Cellphone clatters]

Oh, God, I trusted him, Ray.

I mean, it's hard enough hearing
every damn thing I ever done,

but to watch her have to say it?

- You see her face?
- Yeah.

Hell, I'd be scared of me, too.

That's not who I am.

I know that.

It's not who she is, either.

She didn't want to be up there
saying all that stuff.

She's just being manipulated.

I just hope and pray
that this judge is...

is a reasonable person.

Me, too.

[Inhales deeply]

I'm gonna go upstairs.

I'll be up in a minute.

So, while you were still
writing together and dating,

Scarlett, you signed solo
with Highway 65,

and you had a single, "Gun for a Mouth,"

- on college radio, right?
- Yeah.

What made the two of you pursue
separate recording careers?

Uh, it was never my intention
to pursue a solo career.

We, uh, we were both invited
to audition for Highway 65,

but Gunnar... couldn't make it that day.

I asked Rayna after the fact
to still consider us both,

but it's not the way it worked out.

She took me under her wing,

and Gunnar was really supportive
at the time.

So, you two were in a good place?

We were, yeah.

Then, why did you say no when
Gunnar asked you to marry him?

Oh, sorry, I already interviewed
Autumn for this story.

She told me The Exes became exes

because of a rejected proposal.

Did she get that wrong?

A-Actually, Gunnar and I already
parted ways at that point.

What do you mean, "parted ways"?

[Inhales deeply]

A marriage proposal
is a huge life decision,

and it felt like a delayed reaction

to his brother's passing
and our breakup.

And I was trying to do
what was best for us,

so I said no.

[Clears throat] You know,
it's, uh, it's getting late.

We should probably go get ready
for the show.

- Thank you.
- Okay.

Really sorry. I'll see you after.

Yep.

Break a leg out there, you two.

Babe.

Hey, babe, are you coming up?

- [Cheers and applause]
- Frankie: All right!

It is an honor to bring
this next rising star

to the stage of The Beverly tonight.

Y'all give it up.

- Kelsea Ballerini!
- [Cheers and applause]

Thank you, Frankie!

This one's for you.

["Peter Pan" plays]

- I need to talk to you.
-
With your head up in the clouds

- [Door opens]
-
You'll never grow up

I don't know how you could do that, man.

You're my sponsor.

Why'd you tell your daughter
every damn thing I ever done

so she can use it against me in court?

Maybe because your wife
threatened to ruin her career.

What the hell are you talking about, man?

Ah, turns out queen of country

thinks she runs all of Nashville.

This ain't got nothing to do with Rayna.

You know that.

It's about your damn daughter

sinking her fangs into my little girl.

Watch your mouth.

- She ain't got no career, Frankie.
- Shut it.

You know that.

That's why she's leeching on
to Maddie like some...

[Grunts] What the hell, Frankie?!

[Grunts]

You lost your damn mind?!

Leech?

You're the damn leech.

And your wife's a downright bitch!

[Grunts]

Your stole this bar

just like you stole
your damn dead sister's liver!

Shut up!

So you could live a little
longer with that rich-ass wife!

- Shut up!
- Damn it, Deacon, get off!

Shut up!

Just shut up!

What are you doing, man?

[Spectators gasping]

He tried to kill me!

Is he okay?

- Somebody call the cops!
- Frankie, you all right?

Frankie: Tried to kill me.

[Ringing]

You got Deacon.

Go ahead and leave your message.

[Beep]

Rayna: Deacon, please answer your phone.

You're scaring the hell out of me.

Where are you? Please.

Luke: I know it could've gone better,

but we got our message out there...

- nothing matters but the music.
- Will: We?

Luke, it was just you.

Instead of letting this lie
like I asked,

you kept the conversation going,

and to be honest, you made it worse.

Because she cut me off!

Will, I get you don't want to be out there

talking about your personal business,

but somebody had to say something,

'cause you sure as hell weren't going to.

[Sighs]

Look, I'm sorry,

but these people... they won't just
go away 'cause we ignore them.

You're right. I... appreciate what you did.

Look, you know what,
it's been a crap day all around.

And I hate to break it to you,

but it's probably gonna get
worse before it gets better.

But you have my word
we are in this fight together.

Yeah.

You get some rest, son,
and, uh, I'll check in tomorrow.

- All right.
- [Cellphone beeps]

[Knock on door]

Hey, Juliette, just want to wish you...

This have to do with Layla?

I overheard a conversation
between her and Avery.

And you were right. I was being paranoid.

She doesn't have any motives.

She actually gave him an out,

and he didn't take it.

Well, it's, uh...

it's not what you wanted to hear,

but at least there's no foul play.

No, it's worse.

Knowing that Avery had a choice
and he chose her?

[Scoffs]

Layla Grant?

Can I ask you something?

Why do you hate her so much?

Maybe it's just easier to hate her

than acknowledge the pain
that I've caused her.

Juliette...

it was an accident.

It was more than just an accident.
We both know that.

You can stop not talking now.
The interview's over.

Would've been nice if
I hadn't had to do it on my own.

Maybe I just didn't want to confuse
her with a different set of facts.

You really didn't give me a choice.

I didn't tell her anything
that wasn't true.

Scarlett, your interpretation of events...

it's not the same as the truth.

I'm sorry, what does that mean?

It means it wasn't a delayed reaction.

I proposed because I loved you.

But no, you choose to see that
in the worst possible light,

'cause that's how you see
everything when it comes to me.

And, you know, I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of you not giving me any credit

for being a different person now
than I was back then.

But maybe that's 'cause
you haven't changed.

You're still the same judgmental
person who's afraid of getting hurt.

Man: Ladies and gentlemen,

give a warm Phoenix welcome to The Exes!

[Cheers and applause]

Hey.

Can we talk?

Jeff had a bigger heart
than anybody knew.

Especially me.

And he died saving my life.

Why are you telling me this now?

[Voice breaking] Because I'm sorry.

For taking away the man that you loved.

I know you're probably surprised
to hear all this from me.

But I hope it gives you comfort...

and closure.

You okay?

[Sighs]

Look...

I-I appreciate you finally coming clean.

But this changes nothing between us.

I know.

[Buzzer]

[Door closes]

This was all him, Ray. All of it.

You shouldn't have gone there.

[Sighs]

Frankie and Cash are filing
restraining orders against us.

He's saying you tried to kill him.

That is such crap.

You know that is not true, baby.

All I know is that you're sitting in a jail

and he's sitting in a hospital
with a cracked rib

and a broken nose.

I didn't go there to fight.

- What'd you go there for?
- Not this.

What'd you think was gonna happen?

- Not this. I was just talking.
- Is that right?

I was talking to him,

and he sucker punched me
and he kept coming at me.

- He wouldn't stop. I couldn't...
- Deacon, if you didn't want that to happen,

you would've told me you were going,

and I would've said,
"No, don't go. Don't do that."

You listened to everything
that they said in that court

and you went there anyway.

Just once in your life,
you could've held back.

[Sighs]

I'm sorry, baby.

[Deacon sighs]

Yeah, so we changed your
settlements like you wanted...

[Indistinct conversation]

Hey, I'll see you guys in there.

Hey, can I have a minute?

Uh, I-I'll catch up with you later.

I just have one question.

Okay.

Are you happy?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, I am.

Good.

You deserve it.

Thanks.

Have a good show.

You all right?

[Sighs]

I had to let him go.

I'm sorry.
I know it couldn't have been easy.

No, it wasn't.

Neither was telling Layla
the truth, but...

I know it was the right thing.

You know what?

The trouble with doing the right thing

is that it usually sucks for a
long time before it gets better.

I can't believe I'm going
out there like this.

[Sighs]

Anything I can do to make it better?

Well...

Stephanie: Killer show, guys.

Pretty soon, you'll be
headlining places like this.

- Thank you.
- Oh.

Well, we're real excited
to read the article.

Thank you so much for coming out.

Oh. Thank you for such great access.

I do have one last question.

Given everything
you two have been through...

the broken hearts, the betrayals,

the setbacks, the false starts...

why is it finally working now?

It only works 'cause we're The Exes.

She's right about that.

[Cheers and applause]

Man: Miss Juliette Barnes!

Luke Wheeler!

You all right?

You ever wanted to hear
something from someone

for so long,
and then when you finally do,

it just doesn't really matter anymore?

Not sure I know what you mean.

-
'Cause no one cares to warn ya

-
And the diamonds turn back to coal

Sure.

Woman: A culture war
is brewing in country music

after superstar Luke Wheeler

and conservative pundit
Cynthia Davis butted heads

on her show earlier today.

That's right.
Davis had accused Wheeler of, quote,

"pushing a homosexual agenda"

after he turned over his slot

on "Good Morning America" yesterday

to Will Lexington, a gay artist
on his record label,

and encouraged viewers
to call radio stations

and demand airplay for him.

While Wheeler appeared on Davis' show,

there has been no public
comment from Lexington himself.

[Indistinct shouting]

- [Glass shatters]
- [Car alarm blaring]

[Cheering]

Hey!

- Hey!
- [Tires squeal]

[Blaring continues]

You okay?

_

Well, this was
a very difficult decision.

But after last night's events,
which give me serious pause...

an emancipation will be granted,

and Maddie's contract
with Highway 65 will be voided.

I'm also issuing
a temporary restraining order

against Deacon Claybourne.

And, Ms. Jaymes, I'd admonish you

to refrain from contacting your daughter

during the same 15-day period,

otherwise, counsel will have us
all back in here

with a request to restrain
if you should do so.

This court is adjourned.

I'm sorry, Rayna.

We did it.

[Crying]

Under the circumstances, I wouldn't.

I'm gonna be okay, Mom.

[Crying]
