Kids, you all need to get inside.

The wedding is about to start.

[Ellen] Good afternoon, Ms. Quinn.

I heard Liam's song on the radio this morning.

Can you believe that our very own Liam

right here on Saint is on the radio?

I can't believe it, Ellen.

Now, let's get inside and watch him marry our Josie.

Yes, ma'am.

Our Liam has quickly become a bona-fide

country star.

Hey, you mind handing those out?

- Yes, ma'am. - Thank you.

- Good to see you. - Hi. You too.

[Mrs. Quinn] Ladies, 12 minutes.

[Josie] Twelve minutes, Ms. Quinn?

All the Southern time in the world, my dear.

I handpicked these this morning for Josie.

[chuckles]

Thank you.

[Mrs. Quinn] I swear though, if one more person asks me

about her groom's new hit song on the radio...

Ms. Boudreaux, I'll be sending some of the boys

to get you lovely yayas to your seats.

- All right. - Let's put the veil on.

- Okay. - Let's do it.

I love you so much.

I love you.

- You're going to make me cry. - You made me cry.

[Jake] Hey, hey, hey, there's my little sister.

I didn't know you could clean up like that.

- Oh, Jake. - Just kidding.

Just kidding.

So, are you ready for your big brother

to walk you down the aisle?

Is it really time?

It's almost.

Ms. Quinn wants me to walk Mom down first.

- Yeah? Are you ready for this? - [woman] I'm ready.

Ladies, good Lord,

don't you all look ravishing today?

I'm getting married.

[screaming]

[Mason] Ladies, you guys look beautiful.

- [greeting] - [kissing]

Josie, you look absolutely amazing.

Thank you, Mason.

- Kiera? - Yeah.

Can me and Johnny talk to you outside for a minute, please?

Sure. Josie, I'll be right back.

Laura, can you just touch up her lipstick?

Just a little more color.

Absolutely.

Do you think everything's okay?

Oh, yeah. Honey, everything's fine.

This is your special day.

[country music playing]

Okay. Perfect.

Kiera, what is it?

Is Liam okay?

Liam's fine.

He's fine. He's just...

he's not coming.

I'm sorry, Josie.

What?

[Kiera] We're going to be here for you.

Yes, we're here for you, honey.

Good night.

[Sam] Great, great, great show, man.

You slayed it as usual.

Vodka, here we go.

See that blonde in the front row?

Yeah, already on it. Jack's put her in the car,

headed to the after party.

I'm not going to the after party, man.

Now Liam, the head of the label's going to be there.

I mean, everyone's real eager to hear about these new tunes

you've been working on, you know.

Just have a bottle of vodka sent up to my room

and a steak, all right?

- I'm starving. - All right.

Jimmy, he ain't going. He ain't going on it, man.

It's Page, heading up exit three.

All right. Ain't nothing like a hometown

crowd though, right? Am I right?

I'm not from here.

I'm a few towns over.

Not here at all.

All right. Oh, I'll get your towel, then.

Okay. Great.

All right, boys, good job, good job.

Hey, Liam Page.

I have been trying to get you up

for hours, Liam Page.

Can you stop calling me Liam Page?

[squeals] You're up, you're up,

you're up, you're up, you're up,

- you're up, you're up. - Hey, will you...

That's my cell phone.

Oh, that's a cell phone?

Please, come on.

No, it's broken. You broke it.

Oh, hold on. Wait.

Where are you going, Liam Page?

Oh, my God.

Oh.

Oh, shit.

Okay, well, call me.

[bell dings]

[Liam] Can you please tell me

where's the nearest cell phone store?

It's... Mr. Page,

I'd be delighted to assist you.

It's on the edge of the Quarter.

I'd be happy to call you a car.

[Liam] Will you just tell me how far,

which direction, how many blocks?

Take a right on Royal, and it's six blocks down

- on your left. - Okay.

Oh, my.

[people screaming]

[man] Liam, where are your shoes?

Hey, I'll give anyone $10,000 if they can fix my phone.

- Ten thousand. - [woman] Oh, my God...

[man] Hey, Mr. Page,

$10,000, do you mind if I...

- [indistinct] - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, perhaps we could interest you in a newer model?

I don't... I don't want a new model, okay?

I want that phone.

Allow me to assist you, Mr. Page.

On the house, I'm the store manager.

Okay.

Jojo?

- Jojo? - Huh?

Release the device, please.

Thank you.

Why don't you step into my office

We'll have a little more privacy.

Okay. Let's have a look here.

I'll tell you what, these older boards are tricky.

So I take it, these messages you need to get to,

they must be very important.

Yes.

There's just one.

There's just one.

Just give me one second here.

All right. Well, it's not going to win

any beauty contest, but it should work just fine now.

- It's fixed? - Now, I'll give you some privacy

and you can check for yourself.

Okay.

[man] April 9th, one saved message.

[Josie] Hi, Liam, it's me, Josie...

[dramatic music playing]

[man] Country star Liam Page was spotted earlier today

in the French Quarter.

He was running barefoot according to some witnesses...

Now, Doris, hold on, this might be him.

Yeah, I got him.

I need an espresso.

Oh, espresso?

Okay. Okay.

How about basic outerwear, huh?

Like shoes?

Hmm?

That little jog of yours is all over TV.

Doris has called me like five times.

Publicists live for this stuff, Sam.

Record labels do not.

Not to mention, everyone's wondering

when you're going to stop messing around

and deliver these new songs you owe them.

I'm just... I'm dealing with some writer's block right now.

Dude, I'm telling you,

you can't keep putting them off.

All right, Sam.

We have a meeting set with the label...

[cellphone rings]

Hold on one second.

Oh, crap, it's Blake Shelton.

I got to get this.

This should be fun.

Hey, Blake. What's up, buddy?

[man] Terrible accident took place on I-59 this morning.

Twenty-seven-year-old councilman Mason Belmont

of St. Augustine was driving on his way to a city meeting

at approximately 6:30 AM

when he was struck by a drunk driver.

That driver is said to be in critical condition.

Unfortunately, Belmont did not survive.

St. Augustine, known by locals as simply Saint,

is holding an open vigil at their church tomorrow.

This was the third incident this month...

[Sam] All right, buddy, we'll talk soon.

All right. Thank you.

Okay, Liam, as I was saying,

we're going to get this meeting.

It's going to be... Where are you going?

You're just going to walk... okay.

I guess you're just going to go.

Great. Get some shoes.

[dramatic music playing]

[Sam] A rooftop.

You're kidding me right now, Liam?

We're supposed to be on a flight to Denver

in half an hour.

Jeez, look at you, man.

All right. I'm going to go get you a clean shirt

or something. Just get in the car.

[Liam grunts]

[man] ...now, sad news to report,

the town of St. Augustine is mourning the loss

of one of their own today.

27-year-old Mason Belmont

was born and raised in St. Augustine,

was killed on Tuesday in a car crash...

Hey, Pat, can you turn that up?

[man] ...laid to rest this afternoon.

A funeral service will be held

at St. Augustine Community Church.

- Mason leaves behind his wife... - Oh, man.

[man]... and two young children.

Hey, I'll give you a thousand bucks

if you get me out of here right now.

Yes, sir, boss.

[Jake] Hey, sis, is everything okay?

- Liam's here. - What?

-[Pastor Brian] Let's turn in our Bibles... -He's here.

[Pastor Brian] to Psalms 34:18.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted

and he saves those who are crushed in spirit.

I wish I had the answers to help you understand

why Mason was taken from us,

to help me understand.

I think about this church during times like this.

Here in this church,

I baptized most of you,

married most of you,

baptized your children.

We rejoiced through the good times together

and we bonded together during the hard times.

So while I wish I had the answers as to why,

what I can tell you is this,

that it was here inside this church

that Mason Belmont sat every Sunday morning

with his family with that big smile on his face.

How blessed were we to have had the privilege

of experiencing that smile

that Mason bestowed upon us through the grace of God.

[church bell tolling]

Jake, can you take Billy to the car, please?

Just leave him be, Jos.

Josie, come on.

I got you, little one.

Morning.

What time is it?

Well, it's half past 9:00, you know, AM.

That tastes awful, Dad.

Really?

Well, it tastes pretty good to me.

Uh-uh.

Now, make sure you clean your cup out.

You know, with some soap and water?

You still know how to wash dishes,

don't you, Liam?

Right here.

[slow music playing]

[Liam] What happened to Mom's rose garden?

Well...

I just couldn't keep up with it.

So I'll be back around 6:00 tonight.

You're just going to leave right now?

Well, I'll make us some supper when I get back,

if you're still around.

I'm not sure how long I'm going to be here for so...

Right.

I mean, do they have Uber here or...

[chuckles]

How else am I supposed to get around, Dad?

I think your old bike's still in the garage.

[laughs]

Get out of the pool, come on, let's go, let's go.

Have you completely lost your flippin' mind?

I mean, you pulled a lot of crap on me,

but you never missed an entire concert, Liam.

- I'm sorry. - [Sam] You're sorry?

Oh, that's good.

All right, that's good.

Babe, would you get the kids?

I just don't want them to hear this.

Liam, you missed the whole concert, okay?

That's 20,000 fans and me,

and Doris, and the label,

all wondering why Liam Page isn't at the concert

these people paid good money to see him play at.

I mean, do you have any idea how much this costs, a tour?

I'll pay them back.

Oh, you'll pay them back.

You'll pay them back.

Oh, man, you just don't get it, do you, buddy?

Okay. You know right now,

the whole world is wondering where Liam Page is, yeah.

Have you turned on a TV?

Does that prehistoric cellphone of yours even have Wi-Fi?

[Liam] I'm in my hometown right now, in Louisiana.

My best friend from high school passed away.

I just went to his funeral.

[Sam] Liam, I'm so sorry, man, I mean, are you all right?

- Yeah, I think so. - [Sam] Okay. Well,

I just want you to know I'm going to get everything set

on this end, all right?

I mean, that was your last concert date on that tour,

so we'll just set Denver up

after we go to Europe on the next tour.

It's all going to be fine.

You just... you just be with your friends

and your family.

And look, and Doris, I mean,

Doris started spinning some crazy story

about why you missed that concert.

So don't even worry about it, all right?

Hey, Sam,

where are my credit cards?

Why? I mean,

I've never seen you use your credit cards by yourself before.

I just... I want to buy a few things, that's all.

All I have is the cash in my pocket.

Okay. All right. Yeah, I'll overnight them.

Thanks, Sam. All right.

Can I get a car?

[Sam] Just text me your address.

Now speaking of crazy, there's Doris.

All right, I got to go, brother, all right. We'll talk soon.

[blowing raspberry]

Bike it is.

[slow country music playing]

[people chattering]

[man] Twenty, and there you go.

- Thank you very much. - [woman] Thank you, sir.

Have a good day.

- [man] How are you? - [man] Good.

- We have more in the back. - Excuse me?

More magazines with your face on them.

Do you want me to get those for you?

No, I'm good, thanks.

Lydia. We went to high school together.

Right.

24.99, please.

So, Lydia,

you don't happen to know where Josie lives, do you?

No.

Or where she works?

Thanks for shopping at Ed's.

[people chattering]

[slow country music playing]

Here you go.

That will be 8.69, Mrs. Boudreaux.

Okay.

Oh, Judy, could you pop into the back and tuck

that arrangement for Ms. LeBlanc for me?

She's going to come by this afternoon to pick it up.

- [Judy] Sure. - Thank you.

Ten...

twenty...

thirty...

forty...

fifty...

- Hi. - I'm with a customer.

[Mrs. Boudreaux] sixty.

[Josie] You know, this is such

a pretty prayer plant, Mrs. Boudreaux.

I think you picked out the best one I have.

Thank you, dear.

It's for Kiera.

That is so thoughtful of you.

I just adore truly thoughtful people.

[Mrs. Boudreaux] Seven, eight...

[Josie] Thank you, ma'am.

Now why don't you let me help you out to your car.

Hi there, Mr. Boudreaux.

Hey, Josie.

Let me get that for you.

Thank you.

Now, you all have a nice day.

We sure will, dear.

Idiot.

That was quite a punch you socked me with yesterday.

That was just a warning shot.

- [Liam] Yeah? - Uh-hmm.

So this is where you work.

I own it.

I bought it after Mrs. Quinn passed five years ago.

Wow.

Yes, Liam,

I actually did something with my life

after you walked out on me.

And yes, a lot of people in this town

have come and gone since you were last here.

My mama passed away. Do you even know about that?

No.

I'm so sorry, I had no idea.

Have you noticed that in the past eight years

no one and, I mean,

no one in this little town of ours has ever spoken

to the press about you or your life here ever?

Have you also noticed that no one's taken a picture of you,

posted it on Facebook, Instagram, nothing?

Now, why do you suppose that is, Liam?

Because I walked out on you.

Liam, it's because you left us all that day,

the entire town.

No one's spoken about what you did here

because we have each other's backs here in Saint.

We're a family.

We're loyal.

But you don't belong here anymore, Liam.

Please just leave.

[Billy] Hey, Mama.

[Josie] Hi, sweetie.

Oh, my...

How was your day at school?

You know, the usual, nothing special.

Hello, Liam.

- Laura. - You know what?

Laura is going to take you all out for some cupcakes

at the diner, my treat.

Actually, it's on me.

Let's get going, okay?

I'm just going to have some soup, no cupcakes.

I don't want to spoil my dinner.

[Laura] Oh, that sounds nice.

Come on, guys, let's go.

[Billy] Hey, I know you.

You were outside the church yesterday.

You're that country star my mama listens to sometimes.

I mean, I just sometimes have the radio on.

- Sometimes. - Not really my cup of tea,

no offense.

None taken.

I'm a...

I'm a friend of your mom's.

- Liam. - Billy.

Billy?

Wow.

That's a...

- That's a really pretty name. - [Josie] Okay, sweet pea,

why don't you get going with Laura, okay?

- And I will come up to meet... - Just one little minute.

How old are you, Billy?

[Billy] I'm really small for my age

and I'm losing my baby teeth

much later than everyone else at my age.

I mean, they don't even have the tiniest little wiggle yet,

but I'm seven.

[Laura] Okay.

Cupcake time, let's go.

Bye, Mama.

Nice to meet you, Liam.

[Josie] Bye, sweet pea.

Hey, give yourself [indistinct] okay?

[Laura] Okay.

Seven, huh?

Well, I guess that conversation that played out

a million times in my head is actually about

to really happen, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think it is.

I'm going to need a beer for this one.

[sighs]

I didn't find out that I was pregnant

until a couple weeks after our wedding day...

what was supposed to be our wedding day.

I was so angry and humiliated after you just walked out on me

and yet somehow

I mustered up all of the strength

that I had left.

I called to tell you I was pregnant.

Of course it went straight to your voicemail.

I left you some long message

begging you to call me back.

And then I promised myself

that if you didn't have the decency to call me back

to find out what was so important

that I had to tell you...

I was never going to contact you again

because Billy and I, we deserve better.

[dramatic music playing]

You named her after my mom, Josie.

[Josie] I did that for your dad, Liam.

She loves him so much.

We all do.

[Jake] Hey, sis.

What are you doing here, Liam?

Haven't you put her through enough in one lifetime?

Good to see you, too, Jake.

[Josie] You know what, Liam was just leaving, actually.

- Yeah? - [Josie] Yeah.

- I was... I was just leaving. - [Josie] Uh-hmm.

[Jake] All right.

[bird cawing]

Why didn't you tell me, Dad?

- [Pastor Brian] Tell you what? - [Liam] That I had a daughter.

Why didn't you tell me about Billy?

- I did tell you. - When?

What are you talking about? We haven't even...

We haven't even spoken since I left.

Yeah, exactly.

I went to your first concert there in Seattle.

Wouldn't return my calls so I had to track you down

like some kind of fan, find out where you were performing.

You... you were at that show?

Yup. I even went backstage to see you after.

I had to plead with one of the security guards

to let me in to see my own son.

And there... There you were.

You were so out of your mind on God knows what,

I honestly thought I'd stumbled into the wrong room.

But even after that, I still tried to tell you about Billy,

that you had this amazing daughter on the way.

I don't remember any of that.

Yeah, you don't?

Why don't I refresh your memory?

You told me to leave and never come back,

although in much more colorful language.

So what was I supposed to do, Liam?

You were... you were legally an adult.

I couldn't force you to come home with me.

I was... I was really messed up then, Dad.

[Pastor Brian] Yeah. Yeah. Well, you really seem

to have it all together now, son.

So, good for you.

You know what? I just...

I don't get it, Liam.

You were such a good kid.

You were a great son. You were...

You were great to your friends,

and you were so in love with Josie.

What happened to you, Liam?

What happened?

I don't know.

[Pastor Brian] Well, that guy I saw in Seattle that night,

I knew that Billy and Josie were just

better off without him.

So, yeah...

yeah, shame on me.

[Pastor Brian] Good morning, everyone.

Well, you know,

it's been a rough time

here in Saint.

It's been a rough few weeks,

and it's got me thinking a lot

about mercy

and forgiveness.

You know, scripture says,

"Forgiveness for in love

in all love,

we must have the capacity to forgive."

You know, to forgive, it sounds so easy

in theory, doesn't it?

And yet it remains

so profoundly difficult

to achieve.

Trust me, I know.

You know, here inside this church,

we've always practiced forgiveness, haven't we?

So with that in mind,

let's try today

to forgive those that have hurt us

and to move forward.

And if we can truly forgive,

then we can truly be set free.

Let us pray.

Hey.

I'd like to buy some flowers

Twenty-four?

Yes.

[Liam] Look, don't ignore me on...

I know that I haven't been a great anything, all right?

But I want to get to know her.

I'm not going to cause any trouble.

It can all be on your terms,

but she's my daughter, too, Josie,

whether you like it or not.

Can I have a little time to think about it?

Yeah.

Of course you can.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Here.

You got a pen for me to sign?

You sign it with your finger, Liam.

Yeah. I knew that.

Do you need help with those?

No, I got them.

Mmm!

[Josie] Good, huh?

[Billy] Uh-hmm.

So, sweet pea, there is...

There's actually something I want to talk to you about.

It's about your daddy.

I thought you never wanted to talk about him?

[Josie] I did not.

But that is not fair to you.

You have a right to know your father.

But that only is if you want to,

because if you don't, that's okay, too.

I don't know.

He seemed nice to me.

The guy from outside the church

and the flower shop, right?

You two weren't exactly subtle,

if you know what I mean.

How did you get...

Okay.

Yes.

Now sweet pea, we met when we were

very, very young.

But it's important that you know

that he did not abandon you, okay?

He didn't even know that I was pregnant.

[Billy] Yeah. He looked pretty shocked

when he saw me.

We should invite him over for dinner.

Might help him process the news.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

[Josie chuckles]

[dramatic music playing]

You amaze me, child.

Uh-uh, that's my blackberry!

Don't you dare eat that, Billy.

Billy!

- [Doris] Okay, Maria? - [Maria] Yes, ma'am.

[Doris] Hey, try Liam.

- [Maria] Of course, ma'am. - Please.

Oh, and you know what?

Oh, hold that for a second.

I want a... I want a Cobb salad,

just... I want it with no chicken,

no tomato, no cheese, no corn.

You know, I'll call it in.

I'll call it in because the last time,

you messed it up and you got me something with bananas.

[phone ringing]

Yeah. Hello?

Liam, it's late, wake up.

Yeah, I am awake.

- Who is this? - Hello?

It's Doris Grossnickle Hines,

your favorite lifeline.

Oh, hey, Doris.

[Doris] Hey, so guess where I have the paparazzi

thinking you are right now?

Uh, somewhere in the Caribbean, right?

[Doris] Yes. St. Barts at a rehab for exhaustion.

They are on a wild goose chase as we speak.

- Great. - [Doris] So, listen,

those pap smears can only run around

that tiny little island for so long

without figuring out even in their tiny brains

that you are not there.

So, L-I-am, when am I going to tell the public

that you are out of that sexy little rehab?

Because your fans

are chomping at the bit right now.

I'm in my hometown right now, Doris.

An old friend of mine passed away.

Oh.

Oh, that's terrible.

I'm so sorry, Liam.

But, listen to me, funerals are much better than rehab

for playing the sympathy card,

so what I want you to do

is take as many selfies as you can of yourself

in the shower, shirtless, bottomless,

I don't care, in the coffin,

by the coffin, hugging the corpse.

It doesn't... just get these pictures into me

and I will get you the cover of People.

Yeah. Goodbye, Doris.

Liam?

Did he just hang up on me?

Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

[spits]

This is not good.

[sighs]

[phone ringing]

[Sam] Hello?

[Liam] I need to buy something, Sam,

on the internet.

- Are you drunk? - [Liam] No.

I have not been drinking. I...

Say if I wanted to buy an espresso machine,

how would I... How do I go about doing that?

Okay. You Google it and you click buy.

Oh, it's... so it's that easy.

Okay. All right. Say if I...

If I wanted to buy

some jewelry or a teddy bear, how would I do that?

Okay. What the heck's going on down there, Liam?

I mean, you said you're going to be there for a few days,

- and... - Yeah, uh...

I think I might...

I might be staying for a little longer.

Okay. Great. So how long are we talking about?

Turns out...

I have a daughter.

[Sam] What? Shoot.

Liam, with a groupie?

My ex-fiancée

from a long time ago. Um...

She's seven,

and her name's Billy.

Sam? You alive?

You... no, yeah, I'm...

I mean, wow.

Oh, Liam Page is a dad.

You think I'm going to be terrible at it?

No, no, no, no, no.

I think you'll be great.

[Liam] I remember these plates.

Your mom used to use them

all the time.

[Billy] You knew my mom's mom?

Yeah, I did.

I used to come over here for dinner

all the time growing up.

[Josie] He did, sweetie.

Back when this was my mama's house,

Uncle Jake and I were growing up.

Like the bear?

It's very big.

[Jake chuckles]

I mean, you like teddy bears, right?

Yeah, when I was four.

[Josie] Billy, manners, please.

[Jake chuckles]

Thank you, Liam.

You don't mind me calling you Liam, do you,

since I don't know you well enough to call you Dad?

Billy Anne, what's gotten into you?

What? It's the truth. I said I wanted to meet him,

but I never said I'd be easy on him.

She's got a point.

[Liam] Yeah, Liam is fine.

Liam's fine, Billy.

Open your present, Mama.

That sounds... That sounds like fun.

You know what, I'll come with you, okay?

Mama, I'm all right.

You're not gonna kill me or anything, are you?

[Josie] Billy Anne, that's enough.

[Billy] I'm just joking.

- Come on. - [groans]

[Jake] You're not seriously thinking about

letting that guy back in your life, are you?

[Billy] Hello?

Yes, you are so cute.

Do you want some water?

Here she is.

Yeah,

here she is.

So, are you gonna take her out of her cage?

No way.

She might bite me or scratch my eyes out.

Well...

you mind if I take her out?

Okay.

But if she bites you,

you only have yourself to blame.

Okay.

Are you sure you don't wanna pet her?

I'm sure.

She is very soft.

So, my mama played me some more of your songs.

Oh, yeah?

You're better than I originally thought.

Thanks.

So, I guess we should get to know each other

or something.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Why don't you pick me up after school tomorrow?

I would love that, Billy.

That was terrible. I was terrible.

I mean, I don't know how to do kids.

She hated that teddy bear

just like you hated that necklace.

Liam, Billy doesn't need you to buy her things,

and I don't need you to buy me anything, either.

I can't accept this.

[sighs]

She got your smile, you know.

Got your laugh, too.

You don't remember my laugh.

[sighs]

I can't do that part with you, Liam.

- Good night. - No, no, no, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait.

She asked me if I... If I could pick her up

from school tomorrow.

Liam, this is moving way too fast.

You're gone for eight years and now you wanna pick up

my daughter from school?

Our daughter.

I...

I'm... I have no right to ask for much here at all.

I know that.

But I'm here now...

and I wanna be here, Josie.

I wanna get to know Billy.

Please, just give me the opportunity

to do that.

- I'll beg. - Okay. Okay.

You want me to beg? I'll beg for you.

- Liam, Liam... - I'll beg for you.

Liam, stop. Get up.

Fine, tomorrow...

meet me at 3:00 at the old benches.

We can pick her up together.

Thank you.

Do not be late.

I won't be late.

I promise.

What time? What time was it again?

Liam.

I know what time it is.

[Liam] Well, fancy meeting you here.

[Josie] Uh-hmm.

Can I help you with that?

Yup.

What is this?

It's a car seat,

you know, for a child to ride in a car.

- Never heard of it. - Oh, my God,

maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

I know what a car seat is.

Come on, give me a little credit.

Okay, so, she's gonna be coming out

of these doors right here.

Wow, same doors we used to come out of.

- [phone ringing] - Oh.

Oh, man.

You need to get that?

No, no,

it's my publicist.

[clears throat]

Is it the same phone you've had since high school?

I don't... I don't think so, no.

I remember it.

I...

It's... no, it's...

I don't... I don't think it is.

It has an antenna, Liam.

I mean, I just... I like the phone, okay?

Okay.

[phone ringing]

- Oh. - Ooh.

Oh, it's Kiera. I have to take this.

Hey.

Oh, no, no, no, sweetie, don't cry.

You know what, I'm at Wilmington,

but I can be there in ten minutes.

Is that okay?

I'm gonna call you from the car, Kiera.

We'll be right there.

She's having a really rough time.

So, you're going?

- You're going right now? - Yeah.

I mean unless you don't think you can handle this alone.

I... I'm... I'll just... I'll take her in the car.

Okay, I'm gonna call Laura.

She's picking up her kids anyways.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no. - It's really no problem...

No, no, no, I'm sorry.

Look, I...

My dad's house is like two minutes from here.

I think I'll be... I'll be all right.

- Okay. - Yeah?

Okay.

Billy knows how to put that in the car.

Okay, that's lucky.

So, just pay attention to what she says.

You call me the moment you all get home, okay?

Yeah.

Tell her I love her.

All right.

Oh, man.

[sighs]

[bell ringing]

Jumping in the deep end, huh?

- Yeah. - Car seat and all.

- Yeah. - Where is your car?

Right here.

That's your car?

[Liam] Yeah.

What's wrong with it?

I don't do convertibles.

They're too dangerous.

Come on. It'll be fun, no?

Do you know the stats in surviving an accident

in a convertible?

No. No, I do not.

Well, they are low, Liam,

staggeringly low.

Do you wanna know exactly how low?

You know what, I'm all right.

[sighs]

What about Grampy's car?

Maybe... Do you like his car?

- Is his car okay? - Yeah.

Yeah? All right.

Do you know Grampy's... Do you not know his number?

[Billy] Now?

[Pastor Brian] Yeah, on the count of three,

one, two, hold on, hold on,

be careful now, and three.

It smells good, doesn't it?

- [Billy] Can I stir? - [Pastor Brian] Yeah.

[Billy] You're going to ruin your dinner

with that, you know.

Well, sometimes you just got to let go.

Take a walk on the wild side.

Trust that everything is going to be okay.

Is that chocolate chocolate chip?

Uh-hmm.

I mean, it's the only flavor that matters.

You want some?

It's pretty good.

Hmm?

Grampy, is it okay?

Um, yeah, half a scoop, all right?

Don't ruin your supper.

You want to do it, okay.

There we go, all right.

Now, we're living. Yeah, look at that.

That's a mountain, wow.

Okay. All right, one big, big bite.

Who can take the biggest bite?

One, two, three...

Whoa, that's a big bite.

- Uh-oh, uh-uh. - Oh.

Guess what, brain freeze?

- [Billy] Brain freeze. - [Liam] No!

- [Billy] Brain freeze! - Maybe this wasn't such

a good idea after all.

No.

- One sec. - Oh.

- What? - [Pastor Brian] It's going

- to ruin her supper. - You should've seen

her face, Dad.

You should see all this gumbo.

Is this yours?

I found it in Grampy's closet a while back.

Yeah, wow.

I have not seen you for a long time.

How do you come up with songs to play?

Well, the truth is,

I have not been very good at it lately,

but don't tell anyone.

Well, just start playing.

Let's see what happens.

Okay.

All right, smarty pants.

What do you want me to write a song about?

Something about...

right now,

here with us.

Okay.

Right now...

here with us.

Let's just start with a melody, shall we?

[guitar music playing]

[Liam humming]

That's nice.

I like that.

[guitar music playing]

Who taught you to play the guitar like that?

Well, my mom.

My mama did

when I was a little older than you, actually.

[guitar music playing]

♪ I always do ♪

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...

Oh, uh...

- You all right there? - [Pastor Brian] Yeah,

but grab that towel there.

See if you just... Can get this other side.

[Liam] It is pretty heavy.

What do you got in there, some bricks?

[Pastor Brian] Yeah, a lot of gumbo and it's hot, hot, hot.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa. - It's all right, yeah.

[guitar music playing]

[Liam] Smells pretty good, Dad.

[Pastor Brian] That's a lot of gumbo.

[guitar music playing]

Billy?

You play the guitar?

Nope.

[Liam] No?

So, how do you explain what you're doing right there?

[Billy] By watching what you just did.

So...

you didn't learn it at school, or...

[Billy] Nope.

We don't have that at school.

Wow, uh...

Billy?

Yes.

How would you like it

if I took you to a shop

and bought you a guitar of your very own?

Why? Yes, yes!

Yes? All right.

Then it's a date.

[dramatic music playing]

Hey, sweet pea.

How did your day go?

I had the best time with you.

Thank you so much, Liam.

Wow, thank you.

Me too.

I'll see you tomorrow for guitar shopping.

Yeah.

So, guitar shopping?

Did you know that Billy plays the guitar?

- Billy? - Yeah.

She just picked it up and started playing.

It was like... It was pouring out of her

like she'd been playing her whole life.

Billy can play the guitar?

Yes.

That's crazy.

I'm sorry, I told her

I was going to get her a guitar.

Is it okay if we go guitar shopping

tomorrow after school?

You should come with us

until you're comfortable with me

and Billy spending time together, obviously.

So, you, me, and Billy?

Yeah.

Nothing's going to happen between us, Liam.

I never said it was.

- Hey, Josie. - Yeah?

Is it all right if I pick you up

from work tomorrow?

Okay.

I'll pick you up in my dad's car.

Oh, so she gave you those stats on convertibles, huh?

Yup.

[Liam] You know, I am so excited

that you're sleeping over.

Your mom said that you like to be wrapped up

like a little burrito.

- Yup. - Yeah.

- So... - I...

am I doing this right?

Almost. Hang on.

Ah, you forgot the feetsies on this side.

A little bit more?

Okay.

There you go.

Perfect, like a little burrito.

- Okay. - Hey, Liam,

can I ask you a question?

Yeah, sure.

What happened?

I mean, why did you leave my mama?

Oh, man. Um...

Well, the short answer

is that I was young

and dumb.

And that's pretty much the long answer, too.

[Liam sighs]

All I can tell you is that...

this one night

me and your mom were singing in a karaoke bar.

We were just goofing around,

but as luck would have it,

this record exec heard me singing,

and he asked me to record a song,

and then next thing I know it's all over the radio,

and then I'm off on tour, just like that

like one big wild tornado.

But why didn't you take my mama with you?

I wish I did, Billy,

really I do.

But I...

I was so young, I just... I didn't...

I didn't know...

I didn't know how to handle

being famous.

I guess I just...

I got lost

and I got lost for such a long time

and I couldn't find my way back.

But you find your way back now.

You're back, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm back, Billy.

I'm back.

- Hey, Liam. - Uh-hmm?

Could I...

maybe call you Dad?

[sighs]

Dad?

Yeah, I would love that

more than anything,

- really. - [Billy] Uh-hmm.

- Okay. - Okay?

- [Billy] Okay. Good night. - Good night.

Bye.

- You're going to go to sleep? - Uh-hmm.

[door closes]

Uh...

Billy just asked

if she can call me Dad.

Yeah.

That's a lot of responsibility.

Yeah, I know.

It's forever, Liam.

I know.

I'm ready.

[chuckles]

Okay.

Okay.

I should probably get inside or something.

Oh, ooh.

- Are you okay? - I'm just a little bit tipsy.

[sighs]

[slow country music playing]

Think maybe you could drive me home?

Nope.

Dad, I'm going to drive Josie home.

I would kind of love to do with you.

Yeah?

- Uh-hmm. - What's that?

I would love

to go on a date

with the Liam Page.

Now, come on, I never got to experience that with you.

You know, we could get all dressed up,

go for a fancy dinner somewhere,

drink tons of champagne,

watch your fans go nuts.

[Liam] I'd love to do that with you.

Yeah?

- [Liam] Yeah. - Hmm.

Are you ready for that?

Oh, I'm ready.

For a date, that is...

with the Liam Page.

How's Saturday night?

[Josie] Perfect.

Better call your people.

Let them know you're coming out of that Caribbean rehab.

[Liam] My publicist

is going to be so thrilled.

[Josie] Night.

Night.

[Billy] Oh, my gosh, he gets on my nerves.

[girl] Uh-hmm. Then he gives me

- like an hour. - [Billy] Failed the math test.

- But... exactly. - [girl] Yes.

[Billy] Because we don't even know.

- Hey, Billy. - Hey, Dad.

Hey, girls.

- Bye. - Bye.

- See you tomorrow. - Yeah.

- Bye. - Bye, Liam.

Bye, guys.

[Billy] Bye.

What's that?

Behind your back, what's that?

- Behind? Where? What? - [Billy] Behind your...

- This... - [Liam] What? In that hand?

- [Billy] Here, right here... - [Liam] I can't see it.

- [Billy] ...right here... - I can't see even a thing.

- Right here, I got it. - I can't even see a thing.

You got it. You got it.

You got it. You got it.

You didn't?

I did. You want to do it?

- Yeah! - [Liam] Yes?

All right.

Grampy's in his car,

so we're going to just have to walk, I think.

Why is my car seat in there, then?

I just... I don't know,

I put it in there just in case.

But I can pick the car up later.

- Come on. - [Billy] No,

I'll take it.

You'll take the convertible?

Yeah.

What about all the stats you told me about?

Sometimes I got to let go

and walk on the wild side,

right, Dad?

Trusting everything's going to be okay.

[sighs]

You are something else, Billy.

What kind of... what kind of music you want to listen to?

Well, the only one there is, country!

It's pretty, isn't it?

[Josie] Thank you, sweetie.

Can I put it on?

- Okay. Just lips, okay? - Uh-hmm.

Uh-hmm.

It feels perfect, uh-hmm.

We're going to land right on the roof

of that hotel.

- Right, Jimmy? - [Jimmy] That's right, Mr. Page.

Wait. We're going to land on that tiny roof?

Yes, we are.

Are you okay with that?

Hey, Sam,

give me a call back.

I need to talk to you about the tour.

Hey, now.

- [Billy] Hi. - [Johnny] Hey.

- Oh, hey, hold up. - [Liam] Go. Go. Go. Go.

We're all about to sit down and eat.

[Liam] We're hungry lions, man.

[Billy] Yeah. We're hungry lions.

- [Johnny] All right. - [Liam] All right.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. You don't eat like that.

You got to put the blood on, nice.

I don't think it needs too much blood.

It needs some blood, I'm going to put some blood on mine.

- And then you gotta... - Smear it around.

And then you got to smooth it around like that,

and then you're going to hold it in the middle

like this,

and then you're going to [makes sound]

eat it like a lion.

[growling]

- [screams] - [Liam growls]

We're the kings of the jungle right now.

- We're the only... - [Billy] Well, you're the king

and I'm the queen.

How's that, good?

- Delicious. - Hmm.

- [Jake] What's up man? - [Johnny] Grab a beer, man.

Join me.

[Jake] No, I'm all good. I'm just kind of greasy

from the rigs, you know.

[Johnny] All right. We'll be out here.

Billy?

Billy! Hey, Liam,

do something, man, she's choking.

Hey, it's going to be okay, Billy, I got you.

- [Johnny] ...Billy's choking. - [Jake] All right? Come on.

- It's going to be okay, Billy. - [Josie] Billy?

[Jake] Take a breath.

- Take a breath, sweetheart. - [Josie] Come on, come on.

[Jake] Take a breath, come on.

[Josie] She's not breathing.

[Jake] One more. One more.

[Josie] Come on baby, breathe.

Jake, it's not working.

- She's not breathing. - [Jake] I've got it, okay?

Jake, you have to do something.

Okay. I got this, okay!

- Calm down. - [Josie] Come on baby, breathe.

Come on, you got this. Stay with me, Billy Anne,

- stay with me. - [Jake] A couple more,

- come on, let's go. - [Josie] You got this, baby.

[Jake] All right. One more, come on.

[Doris] Julie, give her 10 CCs of epi and push it.

Come on, Billy, not yet.

Liam, sweetie,

would you go get your daddy for me?

Liam?

Sweetie, I need you to go get your dad.

I think he went down the hall.

Go get your daddy for me.

Julie, just take him to see his dad.

I don't want him to see this.

Come on, Billy Anne Page,

come on, there's still a little more in you,

not yet.

- Not yet. - [Josie] Come on, baby, breathe.

Come on, you got this.

- Come on baby, come on. - [Jake] Take a breath.

- [Josie] Come on, breathe. - Here comes a big one.

[Josie] Come on. - [man] Squeeze her.

[man] There you go, you're good.

Oh, my God, you...

- Oh, my God. - [Jake] Let's go.

Let's get some water.

Let's have some lemonade, okay?

[Josie] Oh, baby.

[Johnny] Hey, everybody want some milk?

[Jake] She's all right. She's all right.

She'll be just fine.

- [Billy] Mama, I love you. - [Josie] Here's some lemonade.

[man] You okay, honey?

- Yeah? - [Josie] Are you all right?

[man] Yeah, let's eat, everybody.

[Josie] Here, drink some more lemonade for Mama.

Oh, you scared Mama.

You scared me so bad.

[Walt] ♪ You say goodbye so many times ♪

♪ It's lost its meaning ♪

♪ And memories are gone ♪

♪ What's left to love? ♪

♪ Oh, believe me ♪

♪ Slowing down ♪

♪ Oh, believe me ♪

♪ Slowing down ♪

♪ It don't come easy ♪

[applause]

Man, I didn't know

you could sing like that, Walt.

[Walt] Well, I only sing in this bar.

And you...

you weren't old enough to come in here

before you left.

You know,

I used to sing in here with your mom.

You used to sing with my mom?

[Walt] Billy and I used to get quite the crowd in here.

Man.

[Walt] But it was you she liked playing with the most.

She was always so proud of you.

[Fred] That's really nice tonight, Walt.

[Walt] Thanks, Fred.

You need a ride?

[Liam] I'm all right.

[Walt] All right, son.

Take it easy.

How you doing, Jake?

[Jake] Good, Walt. Yourself?

[Walt] Good.

[Jake] You know, I had a feeling you'd be here.

Hey, Freddy,

- can I get a beer? - [Fred] Yeah.

So you think you're ready to be a dad

because you spent a couple of weeks playing house?

- Uh-hmm. - [Jake] No.

My little niece was choking

and you just sat there, Liam.

I mean, she could've died

if she'd been alone with you.

Man, you got to be on 24/7 when you're a parent, Liam.

You think you're equipped

to keep that little girl alive every day?

Yeah.

I ain't going to forget

all the bad years that Josie had because of you, right?

And I was there for her.

I'm the one that got her through them.

Josie finally managed to rebuild her life

not just for her, but for Billy, too.

Because you and I, we both know

that you're just going to find some way to mess it up...

and it'll destroy them.

You might have everyone else in this town

fooled right now, but...

you ain't fooling me.

[Pastor Brian] I can't believe you smashed your hand

through that bar mirror.

I'm almost done.

You'll be able to play again in no time.

I never want to play again.

Now, don't say that. Don't say that.

It's a God-given talent to be able to play

and sing the way you do.

I don't deserve it.

Let's face it.

Just be honest.

I'm a bad person, Dad.

- Liam. - Come on, it's okay.

It's true.

We've... we've all forgiven you, son.

You shouldn't have.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I left you.

I'm sorry that I didn't get in touch with you.

Honest, I don't know why I did it.

I know.

I know.

The further away I went...

the longer I was gone...

the more pain I was in, Dad.

I'm sorry.

I know you are.

I just didn't know how to get out.

I know.

You know, when your mom died, son,

I was so stuck in my own grief...

somehow I overlooked yours.

I got comforting words for everyone in this town

during their time of need but...

I wasn't able to talk to my own son during his.

That wound,

that terrible wound,

losing your mom the way you did at such a young age.

I think being famous just fed that pain,

knocked down everything in its path.

So I'm the one who's sorry, Liam.

I'm so, so sorry.

Shh.

[crowd cheering]

Thank you. Thank you, London.

[woman] We love you, Liam.

[woman] We love you.

[Sam] All right, all right.

Oh, man. Oh, man.

Great, great show, man.

Nice singing there, Stacy.

- [Stacy] Thanks, Sam. - Liam,

that's seriously the best set

I think I've ever seen you perform.

Man, I think these new songs of yours,

they're just crushing it, you know?

[Liam] Just get me out of here, Sam.

[dramatic music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[woman] It doesn't matter,

please take your...

[indistinct chatter]

Liam, why are you doing this to yourself?

What?

What the heck happened while you were home?

She almost died because of me.

Who?

Billy.

Man, we were... We were all about

to have dinner in the backyard

and Billy started choking

and I just... I froze, man.

I was paralyzed by it.

I'm not... I'm not a fully formed human being, Sam.

I'm just not.

Liam, you froze with Billy

because you love her.

She could've died, Sam.

But she didn't die, Liam.

And look, we all mess up sometimes, Liam,

but it's what you do

after you mess up that counts.

You show up,

you be there.

Now, you know what?

This whole time I managed you,

you ain't been nothing but a big, fat idiot.

- You know that? - Yeah.

Yeah, it's true.

And I get it. I do.

There are far better men than you out there, no doubt.

Uh-hmm.

[Sam] But Josie doesn't love them, Liam.

She loves you.

And lucky for her, man,

you love her, too.

[dramatic music playing]

- Doris? - [Doris] Yeah.

I need to get off this plane.

- You're what? - I need to get off this plane.

Can you ask the pilot to stay put, please?

- No, no, no. - Tell the pilot...

You tell the pilot to go,

to fly away.

You know that we are supposed to leave right now,

so we are going right now into the air.

[Liam] Can you just ask the pilot to open the door?

[Doris] You tell the pilot that you are locking the doors

- and we are taking off. - I need to get off this plane.

You are not getting off this plane.

I'm getting off this plane.

You are performing in Berlin in 14 hours.

In 14 hours, I'm going to be in Louisiana.

- All right. - For the love of God,

do not get off this plane.

[man] April 9th, one saved message.

[Josie] Hi, Liam. It's me, Josie.

I've called you so many times I've lost count.

I still don't know why you left me on our wedding day,

and I don't know if I'll ever find out.

But I really need you to call me back.

If you don't, I promised myself

that I'll never call you again.

I have to find some way to move on with my life.

But I want you to know

if I don't ever hear back from you,

I will always love you, Liam.

You will always be the one for me.

And you'll have my heart forever.

Hey, it's Josie. Leave a message.

Hey, Josie.

It's me.

It's taken me eight years

to return this message.

I mean, I always wanted to,

but I knew that I needed to know how to tell you

why I did what I did.

And I haven't figured it out...

until now.

See, my mom was the love of my life

until I met you.

And...

I know we were young

but the thought of possibly losing you one day

the way that I lost her...

I thought my heart couldn't take it,

so I ran.

But I can never move on, Josie.

And that message that you left me,

I did listen to it.

I listened to it every day for the last eight years.

And then when I met Billy,

my heart just burst open.

I thought I wasn't good enough for you two.

But I'm gonna spend the rest of my life

trying to be.

[bangs on door]

[Liam] I'm never leaving Saint again without you

and Billy by my side.

Josie!

Josie!

You're the one.

You've always been the one.

[taps on window]

So you've been carrying around this old beat-up,

duct-taped, really ugly cell phone

the past eight years because of me?

Yeah.

And you really listened to that message

every single day since I left it there?

Yeah.

And you're not ever leaving Saint again

without Billy or me?

Never.

Then I just wanted to say...

welcome home.

[dramatic music playing]

[applause]

Hey, I'm Jake.

Hi, I'm Doris.

Well, it's nice to meet you, Doris.

You smell good, Jake.

[crowd cheering]

Yeah, woo.

[woman] Go, Billy.

Yeah.

- Woo. - [man] Woo, Billy.

Woo.

[Billy] Everyone, you all know my dad.

This is a song we'd like to call

[both] "Finally Home."
