1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
you

2
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,920
Skinny vanilla latte, extra shot?

3
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,100
Thanks for coming in. Now the nation is
buzzing about Lincoln, Colorado's Jake

4
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:55,620
Collins, the latest supersized talent
whose career has been launched into the

5
00:00:55,620 --> 00:01:01,980
stratosphere by the popular social media
app. With his bad boy looks and voice

6
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:07,440
like Brad Paisley, Jake Collins was
discovered three years ago as the tow

7
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:13,140
troubadour. Videos of him serenading his
customers while hooking up their cars

8
00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:18,960
for a tow blew up when they began
posting their clips of him. And now that

9
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:24,720
and million dollar smile got him a
Nashville record deal. One of our

10
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,020
caught up with Jake as he arrived for a
recording session.

11
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:34,700
Word is, his new label is treating him
like royalty. And Jake is living large

12
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:35,700
Music City.

13
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:37,440
Good on you, Jake Collins.

14
00:01:37,660 --> 00:01:41,460
Way to make your friends in Lincoln,
Colorado proud. Yes.

15
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:47,260
Thanks for you. Thank you, dear. Did you
happen to catch that story on the TV?

16
00:01:47,780 --> 00:01:50,620
No, Mom. I don't have time to watch TV
when I'm serving customers.

17
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Mom, that's for Jake Collins.

18
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,640
No. Yes. I'm not.

19
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:55,960
June.

20
00:01:56,250 --> 00:02:01,530
I just think it's incredible that
someone from our hometown, someone we

21
00:02:01,530 --> 00:02:04,030
well, is now famous and on TV.

22
00:02:04,250 --> 00:02:07,530
Yeah, somebody from our hometown who
totally broke my sister's heart.

23
00:02:07,750 --> 00:02:10,870
Hey, next one for you is decaf, big
mouth.

24
00:02:11,470 --> 00:02:15,210
Sweetheart, I didn't mean to open up any
old wounds. It's fine, Mom. It's

25
00:02:15,210 --> 00:02:20,650
ancient history anyway. I am living my
best life, and apparently he is too. So

26
00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:21,650
you were listening.

27
00:02:23,050 --> 00:02:24,630
I'm happy for him. Really?

28
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,760
Really, Mom?

29
00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:28,900
Your dad and I are proud of you,
sweetheart.

30
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,760
For this place, too.

31
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,320
Even though you did turn our greasy old
spoon into a fancy coffee shop.

32
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,440
The word's bougie, Mom.

33
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,720
Oh, Mason.

34
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,840
Can you brew some more dark roast?

35
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:42,739
Sure, Miss Gibson.

36
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:45,500
Mason, I've told you, just call me
Amber.

37
00:02:45,860 --> 00:02:49,340
I'm not that much older than you. Oh, I
thought you graduated high school in the

38
00:02:49,340 --> 00:02:50,340
last century.

39
00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:53,460
Uh, no. No, it was way into this
century.

40
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,960
Okay, am I the only person in the
universe not on Ying Yang? No, it's

41
00:03:05,980 --> 00:03:09,000
everybody. Listen up, I've been working
really, really hard for getting closer

42
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,060
and closer on wrapping up my debut
album. I cannot wait for you to hear my

43
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:15,080
single. It's going to be dope.

44
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,900
You do know there's a great big world
out there that could care less about

45
00:03:18,980 --> 00:03:19,980
right?

46
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,340
Cool. Yeah, well, I'm going to go back
to work in that world.

47
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:29,880
I've come a very long way since that
first time I picked up a guitar back at

48
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,100
that boy's home back in Colorado.

49
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:36,040
And I got to tell you, this album is
going to be inspired by my roots back

50
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:37,560
And that means y 'all.

51
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:42,420
And that means that it is a love letter
to all of you who supported me and

52
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:45,800
believed in me along the way. You guys
stay tuned. I love you so much. Without

53
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,960
you, I wouldn't be here.

54
00:03:53,860 --> 00:03:54,860
Good session, man.

55
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:56,800
Jake, what's up, man?

56
00:03:57,020 --> 00:03:59,080
Where are you guys going, man? We're
supposed to finish this single. I just

57
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,080
announced it on socials. I don't know
what's going on, man.

58
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,340
And we got to head across town and
record Luke Bryce.

59
00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:04,780
Payphone cowboy.

60
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,140
Luke Bryce? What? No idea. Probably a
scheduling thing. I would check with

61
00:04:08,140 --> 00:04:09,900
Marvin. He's the one that finds
everybody's checks.

62
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,400
Don't call me until you get it done.

63
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,340
And that's our key to get out of here.

64
00:04:14,740 --> 00:04:15,539
Jaggy boy.

65
00:04:15,540 --> 00:04:17,860
Go ahead and have a seat, buddy. I got
some big news for you.

66
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,140
Okay. What's going on, Marvin?

67
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:24,840
I think I speak for all of us here at
For the Artist when I say we really

68
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:25,840
enjoyed our time with you.

69
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,560
Your rise to fame has been nothing short
of epic.

70
00:04:28,990 --> 00:04:30,710
We wish you the best in your future
endeavors.

71
00:04:31,490 --> 00:04:32,490
Are you firing me?

72
00:04:32,690 --> 00:04:35,310
No, no, no. We don't do that in the
music business. It's more like we're not

73
00:04:35,310 --> 00:04:36,310
picking up your options.

74
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:38,350
What's the difference?

75
00:04:38,370 --> 00:04:40,330
Well, one sounds a lot nicer.

76
00:04:40,770 --> 00:04:44,410
Think of this as like an opportunity to
set yourself free, pursue your dreams.

77
00:04:44,750 --> 00:04:45,750
Not in this band.

78
00:04:45,970 --> 00:04:49,730
Marvin, I'm so close to finishing this
album, man. We're going to finish this

79
00:04:49,730 --> 00:04:53,050
single? Jake, it's been six months
you've been telling me that.

80
00:04:53,410 --> 00:04:54,450
You owe me a single.

81
00:04:54,730 --> 00:04:57,730
You have to get it. I've been trying to
put you up on these big charts.

82
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,020
But yet you mess around with that ding
-dang.

83
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:01,999
Ding -ding.

84
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,580
Whatever. I need artists that are going
to bring me the bling -blang.

85
00:05:05,580 --> 00:05:08,480
Look, man, I can't be throwing good
money out there when you're trying to

86
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,500
find your songwriting voice.

87
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,060
You must have lost it out there when
you're towing cars on the road. It was

88
00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:13,060
and all.

89
00:05:13,260 --> 00:05:14,400
Look, baby, you know I love you.

90
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,180
Why don't you go ahead and leave those
car keys up at the reception desk for

91
00:05:18,220 --> 00:05:19,220
okay?

92
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,460
You're taking my car, too?

93
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:23,500
Jakey, it's a company car.

94
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,720
And you no longer work for this company.

95
00:05:29,660 --> 00:05:32,080
Hey, get Jimmy on the phone. Tell him
how much I love that EP.

96
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,480
Sorry that happened, buddy.

97
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,940
The music business can turn on a dime.

98
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:42,740
Just take me back to the condo.

99
00:05:43,660 --> 00:05:46,040
At least I got my place that I can keep
trying to write some songs.

100
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,020
Yeah. Uh, we might need to find you
somewhere else to write your music.

101
00:05:50,260 --> 00:05:51,260
Oh.

102
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:52,580
Wait, not the condo, too.

103
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,160
Bro, you gotta be kidding me. That was
company housing? Yeah, Nashville's a

104
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,160
company town, Jake.

105
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,200
Coal miners have more security than me.

106
00:06:01,580 --> 00:06:04,700
You sure this is all legal or whatever?
Your contract said they can drop you if

107
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:05,700
you miss any key deadlines.

108
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,560
Which you sort of did.

109
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,120
Multiple times.

110
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,820
Oh, what a complete bust. Hey, no, no,
no. No, no, come on. That's that little

111
00:06:15,820 --> 00:06:19,260
orphan Jakey talking, all right? Let's
just take that inside out voice and put

112
00:06:19,260 --> 00:06:21,480
it back inside, all right? You're beyond
talented, man.

113
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,860
FTA is not the only label in town.

114
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:26,780
Get you some meetings with this other
label. Fine.

115
00:06:26,980 --> 00:06:30,080
Yeah, what are they gonna say? The king
of viral videos singing other people's

116
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,420
songs still hasn't even found his own?

117
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,080
I'm gonna jump at a chance to sign me.
Failure is not an option, Jake.

118
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,940
Listen, I grew up with you. I know you
better than anybody.

119
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:42,700
When I left Colorado to go to talent
manager school... There's no such thing.

120
00:06:42,820 --> 00:06:43,820
Okay.

121
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:49,440
Media arts major at Belmont College. But
I was thrown into the deep end of this

122
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,720
business. That is how I learned to swim
in this business, okay? And I have a...

123
00:06:53,870 --> 00:06:56,790
sacred covenant with all of my clients.
Well, I got no car.

124
00:06:57,950 --> 00:06:59,330
I got no roof over my head.

125
00:07:00,150 --> 00:07:02,150
Where am I supposed to live while I'm
trying to take over the world?

126
00:07:02,430 --> 00:07:03,429
Do you trust me?

127
00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:04,430
That's what I mean.

128
00:07:04,530 --> 00:07:07,110
Listen, I saw the writing on the wall of
the FDA a while ago.

129
00:07:07,370 --> 00:07:07,869
You did?

130
00:07:07,870 --> 00:07:12,170
Yeah. So I started coming up with a
contingency plan. And maybe I went by

131
00:07:12,170 --> 00:07:13,650
place this morning and packed up all
your clothes.

132
00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:16,990
What contingency plan? I'll tell you
when we get there.

133
00:07:17,290 --> 00:07:18,290
Where is there?

134
00:07:18,350 --> 00:07:21,250
The open road and gas station food,
buddy.

135
00:07:21,490 --> 00:07:22,690
The rest is a surprise.

136
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,280
Jake, wake up.

137
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,600
Check it out.

138
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,140
Oh, no. What'd you do, dude?

139
00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:00,780
Just wait.

140
00:08:01,220 --> 00:08:02,220
It's going to be great.

141
00:08:06,260 --> 00:08:09,440
When the director of the community
center called, said they were going to

142
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:16,380
the new performing arts theater after
Lincoln's most famous local hero, I told

143
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:17,460
them to come home and cut the ribbon.

144
00:08:18,870 --> 00:08:21,210
When you said we were going someplace, I
thought we were going to hunker down

145
00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:23,530
and actually finish some songs. Yeah,
we're better to do that than where your

146
00:08:23,530 --> 00:08:24,530
music came from, man.

147
00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:26,810
Besides, clearly this town loves you.

148
00:08:28,030 --> 00:08:29,030
Not everyone.

149
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:31,990
It's been a long time since high school,
Jake.

150
00:08:32,350 --> 00:08:34,130
You realize Amber's probably moved on,
right?

151
00:08:34,990 --> 00:08:36,630
Even still, there's no way she wants to
see me.

152
00:08:37,230 --> 00:08:40,570
As long as we're here, I'll keep my
distance.

153
00:08:41,830 --> 00:08:42,830
Okay, buddy.

154
00:08:43,010 --> 00:08:44,010
I hear you.

155
00:08:45,890 --> 00:08:47,910
Remember all of our sleepovers here back
in the day?

156
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:50,080
Your folks ain't here, are they? No.

157
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,060
No, the crew's in the Greek Isles.

158
00:08:52,380 --> 00:08:56,480
Right about now, Dad is busting out the
Speedo, and Mom is slathering his entire

159
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,400
body with sunscreen on the island of
Corfu.

160
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,880
Wow. That is a picture I can't unsee.
Oh, yeah.

161
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,400
Yeah.

162
00:09:05,540 --> 00:09:07,260
Well, now you get your own room, so
that's fun.

163
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,360
Hmm. No more bunk beds? Spider -Man
sheets?

164
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,700
No. As soon as we move to Nashville, my
parents are tired and turn this place

165
00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:14,700
into an Airbnb.

166
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:15,720
Okay.

167
00:09:18,030 --> 00:09:18,989
Hey, Joaquin.

168
00:09:18,990 --> 00:09:20,090
How was your day at school?

169
00:09:20,650 --> 00:09:21,650
Good.

170
00:09:22,170 --> 00:09:23,210
What was good about it?

171
00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:24,630
Good stuff.

172
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:26,190
Good stuff.

173
00:09:26,530 --> 00:09:27,530
Man, a few words.

174
00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:28,990
I respect that.

175
00:09:29,410 --> 00:09:32,390
Alright, first off, tuner for you.

176
00:09:33,090 --> 00:09:34,090
Like for me?

177
00:09:34,270 --> 00:09:35,850
Thank you.

178
00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:37,390
I've never had my own before.

179
00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:39,550
You ready for your first lesson?

180
00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:40,910
Yeah.

181
00:09:42,010 --> 00:09:46,250
So what I want you to try and do now is
just put three chords together.

182
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,060
Easy one. So we've got E,

183
00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:51,760
E minor, and G.

184
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,560
You can do it any way you want.

185
00:09:55,820 --> 00:09:56,960
Any way?

186
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,240
Any way.

187
00:10:04,580 --> 00:10:05,580
Okay.

188
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,360
Someone's clearly a natural.

189
00:10:09,020 --> 00:10:10,680
Are you sure you haven't taken lessons?

190
00:10:11,020 --> 00:10:13,260
No, I'm just practicing at the boys'
home.

191
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:15,000
Okay. Well...

192
00:10:15,510 --> 00:10:18,630
That's right. You'll be ready for Talent
Fest in a couple of weeks. Oh, don't

193
00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:19,830
worry. No pressure.

194
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:22,270
Let's see three more chords.

195
00:10:22,890 --> 00:10:23,890
Any three.

196
00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:44,140
We were at the diner and the mayor was
there with his town council treating

197
00:10:44,140 --> 00:10:45,260
all to dad's pot roast.

198
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,520
You're pulling my leg. I would remember
this story. No, Bob, you weren't there.

199
00:10:51,820 --> 00:10:55,640
So wait a minute. Did the fire
department actually show up? No, we

200
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,280
them to. No, we had fireman dad.

201
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,020
Yeah, dad ran and grabbed the fire
extinguisher and he put out everything

202
00:11:01,020 --> 00:11:03,560
in time to make sure that the kitchen
didn't get too much damage.

203
00:11:03,780 --> 00:11:04,980
But the pot roast?

204
00:11:05,660 --> 00:11:07,580
That font rose had no chance.

205
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:13,060
Zero. And I totally wanted to save you,
and Dad made me just stand there because

206
00:11:13,060 --> 00:11:17,020
he had this thing about teaching Amber
that if she was going to be in the

207
00:11:17,020 --> 00:11:17,999
she had to learn the rose.

208
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,580
Yeah. Even if the diner had burned to
the ground.

209
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:24,800
Yeah, well, sometimes danger is the best
teacher.

210
00:11:26,020 --> 00:11:27,120
And how old were you?

211
00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:29,440
Um, like nine.

212
00:11:30,260 --> 00:11:31,760
Okay, check, please.

213
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:38,600
Oh, Gerald, I can't believe you never
told me this. Well, we all took a bow of

214
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,600
excitement.

215
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,420
We just, we were worried you'd never let
me go back to the diner.

216
00:11:46,260 --> 00:11:47,500
You were right.

217
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:53,340
Good thing the only thing that'll burn
in that building now is your coffee

218
00:11:53,620 --> 00:11:54,840
Oh, it's my bean.

219
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,880
Lamb. Bean.

220
00:11:58,020 --> 00:12:01,220
Oh, it was so funny. I remember going to
school the next day and telling the

221
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:02,760
entire story to Jake.

222
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:13,380
Sorry, he's been on my mind a little bit
lately with your new theater as a

223
00:12:13,380 --> 00:12:14,380
community center.

224
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:16,380
I just really hope he shows up.

225
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,280
Okay, I think it's time to break out the
cheesecake.

226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:22,759
I get first deeds.

227
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,820
Shut up.

228
00:12:29,890 --> 00:12:30,890
Love you guys.

229
00:12:31,490 --> 00:12:32,389
Hey, babe.

230
00:12:32,390 --> 00:12:33,990
Will you just grab the car, babe?

231
00:12:34,450 --> 00:12:35,450
Right,

232
00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:38,110
because I don't have level five gifts
and family security claims.

233
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:41,070
I got it. It's okay. I love you.

234
00:12:41,330 --> 00:12:42,450
I'll get the getaway car.

235
00:12:42,770 --> 00:12:43,770
Mm -hmm.

236
00:12:47,630 --> 00:12:48,630
Fit.

237
00:12:49,730 --> 00:12:51,070
You're the one who broke the rule.

238
00:12:51,510 --> 00:12:52,510
What rule?

239
00:12:54,130 --> 00:12:55,490
Jake's not on that list anymore.

240
00:12:57,199 --> 00:13:00,860
Okay, well, it has to be weird seeing
his big mug all over town.

241
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:05,420
I mean, yeah, it's not ideal that my ex
-boyfriend is on the internet's hot 100

242
00:13:05,420 --> 00:13:10,420
list, but... He'll always be just Jake
to me.

243
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,840
Remember what a sad puppy dog he was
back then? Just following you around

244
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,220
with his big brown eyes just drooling
over you.

245
00:13:20,740 --> 00:13:21,740
Yeah.

246
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:25,300
Sometimes I wonder what would have
happened if he hadn't left.

247
00:13:29,380 --> 00:13:30,840
We've grown a lot since then.

248
00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:32,740
Thank you.

249
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,020
I know I was pretty awful after he
ghosted me. Just like, you know, a

250
00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:39,020
tiny bit.

251
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,520
But I was lucky.

252
00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:44,860
I had you and Mom and Dad and Spence.

253
00:13:45,540 --> 00:13:46,640
You all loved me.

254
00:13:46,980 --> 00:13:48,300
None of you gave up on me.

255
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,220
Our family... At least, I think that's
what they're supposed to do.

256
00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:57,140
Yeah.

257
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,400
Where have you been?

258
00:14:12,420 --> 00:14:17,680
Walking around town, incognito. Oh, so
that explains the whatever you're doing.

259
00:14:17,740 --> 00:14:19,120
Cool. How did it go?

260
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,040
Good.

261
00:14:22,420 --> 00:14:24,060
Teenage girl called me mister.

262
00:14:24,380 --> 00:14:25,540
Whoa. Yeah.

263
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,140
So no yinging effect.

264
00:14:27,620 --> 00:14:29,280
Nope. Well, that's cool.

265
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,060
I mean, it's not going to last very
long, but good for now, right?

266
00:14:32,980 --> 00:14:34,020
How does it feel to be home?

267
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,080
Well, still not sure coming back here
was the right way to revamp my career,

268
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,340
the answer to trust you.

269
00:14:39,980 --> 00:14:41,020
And that's what I'm going to do.

270
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,380
Nice. Good man. I like it.

271
00:14:44,620 --> 00:14:48,500
Go ahead and keep that positive attitude
to what I'm about to tell you next.

272
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,360
Oh, no. What?

273
00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:56,140
So, along with the dedication on
Saturday, I have also volunteered you

274
00:14:56,140 --> 00:14:57,140
tomorrow.

275
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,240
Volunteered me for a gig?

276
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,260
Well, you remember how your fans first
fell in love with you?

277
00:15:00,740 --> 00:15:04,620
No, I'm not going back to towing cars.
Oh, no, no, no, no. No, but how about

278
00:15:04,620 --> 00:15:07,440
towing some hearts?

279
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:09,960
I have no idea what that means.

280
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:18,440
Amber. Hi. I'm so glad I caught you
before you went in there.

281
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,540
Why? What's going on? It's so cool.

282
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,400
I hired this special guest guitar
teacher on my nothing -near -the

283
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,680
server. Who'd you get? Eric Clapton?

284
00:15:47,190 --> 00:15:49,350
Miss Gibson, look who's filling in for
you today.

285
00:15:50,010 --> 00:15:51,010
Amber.

286
00:15:51,550 --> 00:15:52,550
Jake.

287
00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:54,030
We're all on Ying Yang.

288
00:15:54,610 --> 00:15:55,610
Oh.

289
00:15:55,850 --> 00:15:57,050
Yeah, that's fun.

290
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:06,450
Ted, can you handle crowd control,
Furman?

291
00:16:07,810 --> 00:16:09,530
Jake. Yeah. A word.

292
00:16:10,350 --> 00:16:11,570
Jake? Yeah.

293
00:16:11,890 --> 00:16:15,210
What are you doing here? I was about to
ask you the same thing. I teach guitar

294
00:16:15,210 --> 00:16:16,210
here.

295
00:16:17,260 --> 00:16:20,080
I'm sorry, Amber. I didn't know what
this volunteer gig was going to be.

296
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,260
Hey, my manager Tommy set this thing up.
I was going to come to town and, like,

297
00:16:23,260 --> 00:16:26,060
get out of here. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's a
par for the course. I forgot about them

298
00:16:26,060 --> 00:16:28,200
being high school sweethearts. Oh, wow.
Yeah, that's a par for the course.

299
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,120
It's a tragedy.

300
00:16:31,940 --> 00:16:32,940
Salt.

301
00:16:33,020 --> 00:16:34,020
Any wounds?

302
00:16:35,940 --> 00:16:40,080
I don't have any wounds, Jake. It's been
over a decade since you left. I know

303
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,080
that.

304
00:16:42,459 --> 00:16:44,940
You know what? There shouldn't be any
tension between us because at this point

305
00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:48,220
there isn't anything between us. It's
just all ancient history. So I'm going

306
00:16:48,220 --> 00:16:51,640
let you go back in there and finish your
photo ops, okay? Can we, okay, at least

307
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,040
like talk later?

308
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,440
Fine.

309
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,620
Yeah, I'll be at my coffee shop. It's
where my parents' place used to be.

310
00:17:16,430 --> 00:17:17,430
Hey. Hey.

311
00:17:17,550 --> 00:17:18,890
Sorry. It's okay.

312
00:17:20,109 --> 00:17:21,109
Is now a good time?

313
00:17:21,349 --> 00:17:22,730
Sure. Yeah.

314
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:24,970
Do you, uh, want a coffee?

315
00:17:25,170 --> 00:17:26,369
Looks like you could use one.

316
00:17:26,770 --> 00:17:28,089
Actually, I'd love a hot chocolate.

317
00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:31,410
I'm trying to stay away from anything
that's going to make me more jittery

318
00:17:31,410 --> 00:17:32,329
I already am.

319
00:17:32,330 --> 00:17:33,330
Sure.

320
00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:38,530
So, Tommy Mitchell from high school is
your manager.

321
00:17:38,970 --> 00:17:39,970
Yeah.

322
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:42,790
He's been with me since the whole social
media thing. Ying Yang?

323
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:44,720
No yolk.

324
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:46,920
Bad joke.

325
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,460
Yeah, I thought it'd be cool if I did
some tutoring to go along with the music

326
00:17:50,460 --> 00:17:51,460
center.

327
00:17:52,140 --> 00:17:53,580
Evidently, they want to name it after
me.

328
00:17:54,180 --> 00:17:55,180
Oh, I heard.

329
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,040
Yeah, my brother -in -law, Spencer, is
the director of the community center.

330
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,420
You make a dessert?

331
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,440
You know, you are the closest thing this
town has to a hero.

332
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:11,880
Wow.

333
00:18:12,140 --> 00:18:14,560
The celebrity stuff is mostly all smoke
and mirrors.

334
00:18:16,980 --> 00:18:18,200
I'm still just Jake.

335
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,520
Could have fooled me.

336
00:18:23,980 --> 00:18:28,860
Thought you were busy in Nashville, you
know, making your new album and getting

337
00:18:28,860 --> 00:18:30,520
ambushed by the media.

338
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,400
Pretty crazy, right?

339
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:37,600
So, I take it you'll be leaving after
the theater dedication?

340
00:18:38,180 --> 00:18:39,280
No, actually.

341
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,060
I thought maybe I'd hang out for a few
weeks.

342
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,200
Yeah, stay in a Tommy's folks old place.

343
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,500
Hang out for a bit, get some fresh ideas
for my songwriting, you know, for the

344
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:51,240
album.

345
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,700
He said unironically?

346
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:56,300
What do you mean by that?

347
00:18:56,620 --> 00:19:01,000
Well, I mean, wasn't the whole reason
you left Lincoln to go find your music?

348
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,480
Sorry.

349
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,040
Shouldn't have said that.

350
00:19:07,220 --> 00:19:08,380
No, it's okay. You're right.

351
00:19:10,409 --> 00:19:14,830
I'm sure you've been wondering, looking
for reasons why, for what happened.

352
00:19:18,190 --> 00:19:20,910
And the truth is, I just don't really
have any words for it.

353
00:19:24,790 --> 00:19:29,970
Growing up, I bounced around from so
many boys' homes to foster care.

354
00:19:31,810 --> 00:19:35,410
Everywhere I turned, it was nothing but
happy families, you know, and even

355
00:19:35,410 --> 00:19:36,410
yours.

356
00:19:39,370 --> 00:19:41,550
And sometimes I just felt so out of
place like I couldn't breathe.

357
00:19:43,650 --> 00:19:45,170
I never knew you felt that way.

358
00:19:46,770 --> 00:19:50,030
Yeah, look, I don't want to stress you
out any more than I already have. I'm

359
00:19:50,030 --> 00:19:52,410
happy to talk to Tommy. Maybe you could
have the music center. No.

360
00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:55,490
Give me another student. Jake, it's
fine.

361
00:19:56,290 --> 00:19:57,530
We can both tell you we're walking.

362
00:19:58,190 --> 00:19:59,190
Okay.

363
00:19:59,370 --> 00:20:04,810
Just promise me that if you need to skip
town to go hang out with Tim McGraw or

364
00:20:04,810 --> 00:20:06,630
whatever, that you just give him a heads
up.

365
00:20:08,460 --> 00:20:11,340
The kid really looks up to you, and he's
had a rough go of it.

366
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,500
I mean, he barely speaks to anyone.

367
00:20:16,060 --> 00:20:17,860
I feel like you do have a lot in common.

368
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,840
This town really loves you, so just try
not to break any more hearts.

369
00:20:27,460 --> 00:20:28,460
I got it.

370
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:35,840
What?

371
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,760
You, um...

372
00:20:38,860 --> 00:20:39,980
Have a chocolate mustache.

373
00:20:47,060 --> 00:20:52,280
Thank you for the hot chocolate.

374
00:20:52,540 --> 00:20:56,640
Yeah. I should probably let you finish
closing up.

375
00:20:59,580 --> 00:21:00,580
Hey, Jake.

376
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,720
Yeah.

377
00:21:02,820 --> 00:21:04,400
Is something else bugging you?

378
00:21:06,860 --> 00:21:08,280
No. It's all good.

379
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,560
Yeah. Nashville.

380
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,260
My record label.

381
00:21:13,540 --> 00:21:14,620
That's my family now.

382
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:17,680
Yeah, I'm glad.

383
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,040
Yeah.

384
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,100
See you, Amber. Yeah. See you, Jake.

385
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:34,280
Hey,

386
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:36,980
sis. Hey.

387
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,140
You're going to want to put the sharp
objects down for what I'm about to tell

388
00:21:40,140 --> 00:21:41,140
you.

389
00:21:41,820 --> 00:21:42,820
What?

390
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,640
I just spent the last hour tutoring
Joaquin Lopez with Jake.

391
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,440
Jake like you're Jake?

392
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,020
Oh, no, not mine. No, Ying Yang.

393
00:21:53,420 --> 00:21:54,420
The world.

394
00:21:55,180 --> 00:21:56,580
Oh, pump the brakes.

395
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,020
Oh, hey, Ben.

396
00:21:58,260 --> 00:22:00,560
Are you saying Jake Collins is actually
here?

397
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:03,840
Mm -hmm. One never thought he'd accept
my invite for the theater dedication.

398
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,140
Well, lucky for you, he's going to be
here live in person, and lucky for me,

399
00:22:07,220 --> 00:22:10,600
he's going to be teaching guitar lessons
at the community center for the next

400
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,680
few weeks. My man.

401
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:14,280
So what was that like?

402
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,600
I mean, after all these years, seeing
him, finally seeing him in person.

403
00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:22,540
Surreal.

404
00:22:22,860 --> 00:22:23,940
Like a dream.

405
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,560
Or a nightmare.

406
00:22:26,340 --> 00:22:28,240
So, how are you feeling?

407
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:32,140
I mean, after the initial shock, fine.

408
00:22:33,180 --> 00:22:34,180
I just...

409
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,280
I don't know. I get the feeling that
he's not.

410
00:22:37,380 --> 00:22:39,060
Well, you would know more than anybody.

411
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,360
But what do you think it is? I don't
know. I just feel like he's hiding

412
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:44,180
something. I mean, something is
definitely off.

413
00:22:44,860 --> 00:22:47,760
And I feel like I should keep my nose
out of it, but at the same time, I still

414
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,220
care about him, and I... I don't know. I
feel like I should be there for him as

415
00:22:51,220 --> 00:22:52,220
a friend.

416
00:22:53,220 --> 00:22:54,500
I don't know about that.

417
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,260
Listen, if I were in his shoes, there's
nobody that I would rather have by my

418
00:23:00,260 --> 00:23:02,640
side than you. You are the best friend.

419
00:23:04,170 --> 00:23:09,830
But after all that he's put you through,
can you please, please, please, just

420
00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:11,250
guard your heart?

421
00:23:19,390 --> 00:23:21,470
Sorry again for blindsiding you
yesterday.

422
00:23:21,970 --> 00:23:22,970
Fine.

423
00:23:23,690 --> 00:23:26,650
Jake and I have decided that we are
going to Teen Puder walking.

424
00:23:27,550 --> 00:23:29,090
Sweet. Great.

425
00:23:30,340 --> 00:23:33,620
Oh, I was not looking forward to losing
all those students we were going to find

426
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:34,459
next week.

427
00:23:34,460 --> 00:23:37,620
Especially looking at next year's budget
request. All the new sign -ups are

428
00:23:37,620 --> 00:23:38,640
going to make me look good.

429
00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:41,900
Oh, I'm so glad that your heart's in the
right place, Seth.

430
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,200
What's up, Harry Styles?

431
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,320
Just call me Harry Styles.

432
00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:48,460
So, Jake.

433
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:53,680
Yo. If you need anything, anything at
all, I'm available 24 -7.

434
00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:55,340
Okay. All right.

435
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:57,440
Totally unrelated.

436
00:23:57,980 --> 00:24:02,820
But if you're looking for a classic folk
edge to the album, I'm the best lute

437
00:24:02,820 --> 00:24:03,820
player in Colorado.

438
00:24:03,980 --> 00:24:04,980
Lute?

439
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,440
Bro.

440
00:24:07,180 --> 00:24:08,180
Call me bro.

441
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,680
All right.

442
00:24:10,220 --> 00:24:11,220
Okay.

443
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,440
Joaquin, do you want to show Jake the
new chord progression we've been working

444
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,020
on? I need to practice more before I
show Jake.

445
00:24:19,180 --> 00:24:22,180
Come on, man. You've got to save space
here. Let her rip. Let's hear it.

446
00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:24,300
All right.

447
00:24:47,180 --> 00:24:53,100
Ted Gonzalez, our Music Learning Center
director, whose vision for learning arts

448
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:57,380
programs has inspired young people to
pursue their dreams over the years.

449
00:25:02,020 --> 00:25:07,480
So, without further ado, I would like to
take this time to dedicate our brand

450
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,860
new Performing Arts Theater.

451
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,520
the moment you've all been waiting for,
please help me welcome national

452
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,440
recording artist and Lincoln High
alumnus, Jake Collins.

453
00:25:30,980 --> 00:25:32,460
More love, more love, more love.

454
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,520
Jake, a few words.

455
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,440
Okay.

456
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,240
Howdy, Lincoln.

457
00:25:51,690 --> 00:25:52,690
It's been a while.

458
00:25:54,150 --> 00:25:55,150
Wow.

459
00:25:58,250 --> 00:26:04,250
I couldn't be more humbled and honored
to have an amazing new theater named

460
00:26:04,250 --> 00:26:05,250
after me.

461
00:26:06,770 --> 00:26:10,830
You know, it's been a number of years
since I've walked these streets.

462
00:26:11,810 --> 00:26:17,330
I know I've only been home a few days,
but I'm starting to remember what I

463
00:26:17,330 --> 00:26:18,330
about this town.

464
00:26:18,490 --> 00:26:19,510
We love you, Jake!

465
00:26:19,959 --> 00:26:20,980
I love you.

466
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:30,300
I told myself I wasn't going to do
emotional

467
00:26:30,300 --> 00:26:32,620
today, but there you have it. Easier
said than done.

468
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:43,920
Truth is, I wasn't sure I'd come back
and face the people that I left behind.

469
00:26:44,380 --> 00:26:45,640
We'll always love you, Jake.

470
00:26:46,740 --> 00:26:47,740
I love you.

471
00:26:53,250 --> 00:26:59,270
Sometimes I wonder if I could have a do
-over, if I would have even left in the

472
00:26:59,270 --> 00:27:00,270
first place.

473
00:27:02,390 --> 00:27:08,370
With all the glitz and glamour that's
come my way, what I had here in Lincoln

474
00:27:08,370 --> 00:27:10,590
was far more meaningful than anything
I've experienced out there.

475
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,020
Each of you is very special to me.

476
00:27:28,340 --> 00:27:34,060
In fact, without you, I have no success.

477
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:36,280
Thank you.

478
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:53,840
Hey, mate.

479
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,420
Can you walk to the counter?

480
00:27:57,940 --> 00:27:58,940
I'll just be a minute.

481
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,620
Hey, Jake, I only have a minute, okay?
I've got a full house in there. Yeah,

482
00:28:07,620 --> 00:28:13,040
yeah. Listen, I just wanted to apologize
for earlier. I don't know what got into

483
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,040
me at the dedication.

484
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,040
I do.

485
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:18,840
Oh, yeah? What's that?

486
00:28:19,420 --> 00:28:20,420
Your home.

487
00:28:21,429 --> 00:28:23,550
Being home makes you vulnerable to old
feelings.

488
00:28:26,110 --> 00:28:27,110
Maybe so.

489
00:28:28,550 --> 00:28:31,610
Listen, I looked for you afterwards, but
it seemed like maybe you left early.

490
00:28:32,330 --> 00:28:36,370
Yeah. Well, I have old feelings too.

491
00:28:39,130 --> 00:28:41,490
The last time I was here was called
Gerald and Darlene.

492
00:28:42,150 --> 00:28:43,150
What's with that 33?

493
00:28:43,450 --> 00:28:45,670
I took it over when I turned 33.

494
00:28:45,910 --> 00:28:49,710
Thought I'd turn the page on who I'd
been and live a better life.

495
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,360
You know, I never thought I would
actually stay in Lincoln.

496
00:28:54,380 --> 00:28:55,700
But now it kind of fits me.

497
00:28:57,700 --> 00:29:01,180
I love running this place. I get to make
people smile with a good cup of coffee.

498
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,420
I teach music at the community center. I
even lead worship at church.

499
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,360
Everything I need, everything that fills
my soul, it's all right here.

500
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:15,500
I envy you.

501
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,000
I wish I could have found all that when
I was still here.

502
00:29:19,020 --> 00:29:20,100
But now I'm out there.

503
00:29:20,879 --> 00:29:26,240
Spending money I don't have, buying
stuff I don't need to impress people I

504
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,240
even know.

505
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,660
People always talk about greener
pastures.

506
00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:35,440
I figured I want a greener pasture. I
should water the one I'm in.

507
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:38,920
Wow.

508
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,440
I actually really love that.

509
00:29:40,660 --> 00:29:44,160
I kind of want to steal it and write a
song. Is that okay? Well, it's all

510
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,520
But you do not need to steal it because
it is public domain.

511
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:49,900
Straight out of the good book.

512
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,820
I should get back in there. Yeah, okay.

513
00:29:53,060 --> 00:29:55,920
Hey, real quick, though. Can I take you
out for coffee sometime?

514
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,340
I mean, obviously not at your place, but
just somewhere that maybe you can give

515
00:30:00,340 --> 00:30:02,460
me some more song ideas.

516
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,960
Yeah.

517
00:30:06,780 --> 00:30:07,780
I'd like that.

518
00:30:08,620 --> 00:30:09,620
Okay.

519
00:30:10,380 --> 00:30:11,660
Town Gotham's about to start.

520
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,280
Yup.

521
00:30:17,940 --> 00:30:18,940
How'd it go in here?

522
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,160
Anything?

523
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:32,800
Yoga, really?

524
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,440
Hey, don't be jealous of my strength, my
balance, my flexibility.

525
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,200
I'm not. Oh, not to mention, of course,
my inner.

526
00:30:43,220 --> 00:30:44,680
Mumbo -jumbo. Okay.

527
00:30:47,980 --> 00:30:50,600
So, how's Amber?

528
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:52,720
No idea.

529
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,600
Yeah, right.

530
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,420
I know you better than that, dude. Let's
just...

531
00:30:57,660 --> 00:31:01,460
Skip the innocent act and get to that
high school sweetheart -shaped elephant

532
00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:02,460
the room?

533
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,680
That little speech you gave of the
unveiling, that was like an awesome

534
00:31:06,060 --> 00:31:07,180
Well, it was complicated, dude.

535
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:11,980
I mean, even just seeing her brings up
stuff for both of us.

536
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,780
I think being back home is going to help
get your music unstuck.

537
00:31:15,020 --> 00:31:20,340
But before we do that, you've got to get
yourself unstuck. You miss 100 % of the

538
00:31:20,340 --> 00:31:21,340
shots you don't take, right?

539
00:31:21,660 --> 00:31:22,740
Good talk, Coach Wooden.

540
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,320
I'm pretty sure it was Gretzky who said
that first.

541
00:31:27,270 --> 00:31:28,270
Maybe with Gandhi.

542
00:31:29,310 --> 00:31:33,110
I don't know. Doesn't matter. The
important thing is, is don't leave

543
00:31:33,110 --> 00:31:34,730
without telling Amber how you feel.

544
00:31:34,990 --> 00:31:35,949
Yeah, yeah.

545
00:31:35,950 --> 00:31:40,230
Even if she rejects you, you're not
going to regret it, I promise.

546
00:31:40,970 --> 00:31:42,450
When did you become the love doctor?

547
00:31:43,590 --> 00:31:45,450
I watch a lot of rom -coms.

548
00:32:00,700 --> 00:32:04,020
Hey, sweetie. We were just showing Jake
your old photo album.

549
00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:06,640
Good Lord.

550
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:13,060
Okay. Oh, oh, there's Amber, age seven,
no boarding in Copper Mountain.

551
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,060
Remember how long it took to convince
her to get off the chairlift?

552
00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:21,300
Oh. I mean, did you not turn to the next
page?

553
00:32:21,780 --> 00:32:22,860
Baby Beth's home?

554
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,140
There are certain places we do not go
with strangers.

555
00:32:29,580 --> 00:32:32,620
Sorry, I didn't mean strangers. No.

556
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,040
So it's been a while since we've had
Jake Collins at a Gibson family dinner,

557
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,560
especially one that was planned
completely without my knowledge.

558
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,460
Or mine. Well, amazingly, I still had
Jake's old phone number in my contacts.

559
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,120
And it worked.

560
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,420
You haven't changed your number in 10
years?

561
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,340
You already code 719 for life.

562
00:32:57,540 --> 00:32:58,359
Yes, sir.

563
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,159
Come on.

564
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,940
Jake, hey, remember this?

565
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:05,380
It was taken on that church camping trip
we took when you were a sophomore.

566
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:09,400
Oh, that's right. It was that father
-son trip, and you stepped up. Anybody

567
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,760
passes through that door, that's family
to me.

568
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:18,680
Besides, I was outnumbered in this house
most of my life until...

569
00:33:19,420 --> 00:33:20,420
Spencer Roller.

570
00:33:20,740 --> 00:33:21,740
Lock it up, Jerry.

571
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:29,980
Jake, I was honored to stand in as your
dad.

572
00:33:31,620 --> 00:33:34,020
Hey, don't leave me hanging, young man.

573
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,220
Wow, that's crazy.

574
00:33:39,740 --> 00:33:44,060
A blacked out Lambo. Yeah. And your
record company just gave it to you?

575
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,060
technically it's a company car, but they
spring from maintenance and fuel.

576
00:33:47,580 --> 00:33:49,760
And they keep it detailed. Oh, man.

577
00:33:51,260 --> 00:33:55,080
Hashtag goals. Okay, my hashtag goals
for the evening, get out of here before

578
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,140
this bromance gets ritter.

579
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:57,560
I'm sorry.

580
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:58,700
Hey, Jake, coffee, cheesy?

581
00:33:58,980 --> 00:34:00,840
Yeah. All right, see you then. Okay.
Bye.

582
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,540
So, what about that coffee you promised
me?

583
00:34:20,679 --> 00:34:24,120
I would have warned you about your mom's
dinner invite, but I didn't have your

584
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,080
number. She has yours, and you don't
have mine.

585
00:34:27,380 --> 00:34:29,100
That is pretty messed up, Jake.

586
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:31,679
So?

587
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,940
So? So you had mentioned before when we
were talking about old feelings.

588
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,620
I never gave you an opportunity to tell
me how you felt after I left.

589
00:34:42,659 --> 00:34:43,659
Are you sure?

590
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:45,239
Mm -hmm.

591
00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:46,900
Okay.

592
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,280
The way you ended things by just
leaving?

593
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:52,440
It really hurt.

594
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,300
Maybe at 18 it was just puppy love, but
I really did love you.

595
00:34:58,220 --> 00:35:02,800
And I loved your dreams, too. I had this
picture in my head that we would get

596
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,740
married and move to Nashville and get a
ranch and some horses.

597
00:35:07,780 --> 00:35:10,680
And Lincoln would always be here when we
missed home.

598
00:35:14,020 --> 00:35:18,440
But then you were just gone.

599
00:35:21,710 --> 00:35:23,450
I cried myself to sleep for months.

600
00:35:24,550 --> 00:35:25,550
Sorry.

601
00:35:26,210 --> 00:35:31,350
But then I decided that I wasn't going
to let the fact that you left determine

602
00:35:31,350 --> 00:35:32,550
the direction of my life.

603
00:35:33,210 --> 00:35:35,430
So I got my head on straight.

604
00:35:36,230 --> 00:35:40,050
I went to business school, focused on
opening my coffee shop.

605
00:35:41,230 --> 00:35:42,670
I designed a life for myself.

606
00:35:45,710 --> 00:35:47,350
You must have hated me for what I did.

607
00:35:48,250 --> 00:35:49,250
Yeah.

608
00:35:49,930 --> 00:35:50,930
Just a little.

609
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,240
But we were just kids. I don't hold it
against you.

610
00:35:55,100 --> 00:35:56,600
I forgave you a long time ago.

611
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,580
Not that I deserve that, but... Thank
you.

612
00:36:01,020 --> 00:36:02,740
My family helped me figure that one out.

613
00:36:03,260 --> 00:36:04,620
They were with me through all of it.

614
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,500
Can I ask you something?

615
00:36:12,580 --> 00:36:13,580
Okay.

616
00:36:13,820 --> 00:36:15,660
That feeling you had of being trapped.

617
00:36:16,860 --> 00:36:18,880
Feeling like you couldn't breathe around
my family.

618
00:36:20,620 --> 00:36:21,980
Is that really why you left?

619
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,400
I think I got scared.

620
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:28,240
Of what?

621
00:36:29,740 --> 00:36:31,820
I actually graduated. I think I
panicked.

622
00:36:34,460 --> 00:36:36,220
I realized I didn't have a family of my
own.

623
00:36:38,180 --> 00:36:39,560
I was aging out of the system.

624
00:36:40,860 --> 00:36:42,200
I didn't really belong anywhere.

625
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,760
I think I kind of got it in my head that
I had to go out there and make it on my

626
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:48,760
own.

627
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,760
I think I used finding my music as an
excuse.

628
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:04,820
The truth was, I knew that you would
realize that I wasn't good enough

629
00:37:04,820 --> 00:37:05,820
for you.

630
00:37:06,220 --> 00:37:08,240
Jake, that would never have been true.

631
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:10,920
We adored you.

632
00:37:12,180 --> 00:37:13,440
I adored you.

633
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,020
And that had absolutely nothing to do
with you going out and becoming rich and

634
00:37:18,020 --> 00:37:19,020
famous.

635
00:37:20,590 --> 00:37:22,050
I never would have rejected you.

636
00:37:26,230 --> 00:37:30,290
Listen, Jake, I would really like to be
there for you.

637
00:37:32,530 --> 00:37:33,530
As your friend.

638
00:37:37,590 --> 00:37:42,630
Yeah, I mean, if you're open to it, I
know your life is big and busy with all

639
00:37:42,630 --> 00:37:47,810
your records and concerts, but I don't
know, I would just really rather us be

640
00:37:47,810 --> 00:37:48,810
friends than strangers.

641
00:37:49,390 --> 00:37:50,390
Totally.

642
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,560
Have anything else you want to get off
your chest? Nope.

643
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,460
Actually, there is one thing.

644
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,140
I feel like your brother -in -law has a
dude crush on me.

645
00:38:03,460 --> 00:38:04,500
He definitely does.

646
00:38:40,529 --> 00:38:46,050
Like this close man Been this close for
like two months now. It's more like six

647
00:38:46,050 --> 00:38:47,110
but

648
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:52,020
You know, keep at it. You'll get there.
It's not a sprint, right? It's, um...

649
00:38:52,020 --> 00:38:54,180
It's a crawl. Yeah.

650
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:56,920
Yeah.

651
00:38:58,060 --> 00:38:59,820
I got your text, by the way.

652
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:03,340
Friend zone. That stinks.

653
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,420
Yeah, well, it's not the end of the
world, I guess.

654
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,200
At least now I don't have to avoid her
for the rest of my life.

655
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,780
Now I can just be with her and pretend
I'm not dying inside.

656
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,800
You know, what does she say when you
tell you still had feelings for her?

657
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:24,920
Why didn't you tell her?

658
00:39:27,980 --> 00:39:29,080
Look, I chickened out.

659
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,520
But what's the point?

660
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,500
She's clearly moved on.

661
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,640
No, no, no. No, bro.

662
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:39,660
If she doesn't have a ring on her
finger...

663
00:39:42,350 --> 00:39:48,110
or shares a 24 -hour fitness membership
with some dude, she hasn't moved on.

664
00:39:49,170 --> 00:39:50,610
I'll just leave it where it is for now.

665
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:53,390
I'm good.

666
00:39:54,250 --> 00:39:56,930
But I probably should get back to trying
to save what's left of my shredded

667
00:39:56,930 --> 00:39:57,930
career.

668
00:39:59,510 --> 00:40:00,510
All right, buddy.

669
00:40:00,990 --> 00:40:04,830
I hear you. I'm going to let you get
your head in the game, so I'm going to

670
00:40:04,950 --> 00:40:05,950
okay?

671
00:40:06,810 --> 00:40:07,810
Hey.

672
00:40:09,590 --> 00:40:10,590
Like this close.

673
00:40:17,900 --> 00:40:18,900
Hey.

674
00:40:24,740 --> 00:40:26,100
Oh, hi.

675
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,980
Ooh, dope song. Who's this?

676
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:31,760
My new favorite national artist.

677
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,080
Okay. You got any other favorite
artists?

678
00:40:37,860 --> 00:40:38,860
Can't think of any.

679
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,840
Anyway, I saw Joaquin when I was pulling
in. Oh, good.

680
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,220
Actually, do you mind doing the first
half of the lesson? I just need to

681
00:40:48,220 --> 00:40:49,340
the schedule for the coffee shop.

682
00:40:50,740 --> 00:40:51,740
You got it.

683
00:41:24,919 --> 00:41:25,919
Yeah, man.

684
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:31,440
Can I ask you a question, buddy?

685
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,520
Yeah. When was the last time you saw
your parents?

686
00:41:36,580 --> 00:41:38,920
My mom died when I was a baby.

687
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,560
I don't remember her at all.

688
00:41:42,140 --> 00:41:43,300
But I know what she looks like.

689
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,000
I have photos of her and stuff.

690
00:41:47,060 --> 00:41:51,380
My dad left me at my grandma's house
when I was two or three.

691
00:41:52,180 --> 00:41:53,600
I don't know anything about him.

692
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,100
But my grandma said that he loved me.

693
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,500
He just wasn't ready to be a dad yet.

694
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:03,900
That's tough stuff, buddy.

695
00:42:05,140 --> 00:42:06,140
I know the feeling.

696
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:07,480
You do?

697
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:08,760
I do.

698
00:42:09,220 --> 00:42:12,420
I lost my mom when I was a little bit
older, when I was five.

699
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:13,980
And I never knew my dad.

700
00:42:15,460 --> 00:42:16,460
How did she die?

701
00:42:16,860 --> 00:42:17,860
Car accident.

702
00:42:19,580 --> 00:42:21,980
And I lived with my grandparents for a
while, just like you.

703
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:28,060
And then I bounced around from... Boys'
homes to foster care until I was 18.

704
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,120
Did they treat you right? Yeah, for the
most part.

705
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,600
I didn't always have a grateful
attitude, though.

706
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,460
I was fortunate that I had my best bud,
Tommy.

707
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:40,160
I had Amber.

708
00:42:42,260 --> 00:42:43,320
I had her family.

709
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:46,300
They're my lifelines.

710
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,300
What happened between you and Amber?

711
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,260
We were a thing in high school.

712
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:54,760
Pretty big thing, actually.

713
00:42:55,580 --> 00:42:56,780
Why didn't you guys stay together?

714
00:42:57,580 --> 00:42:58,580
I was young.

715
00:42:59,340 --> 00:43:00,340
Dumb.

716
00:43:01,580 --> 00:43:02,580
Stupid.

717
00:43:02,620 --> 00:43:05,300
And I'll tell you what, that's the
biggest mistake of my life right there.

718
00:43:08,780 --> 00:43:10,980
Look at you. What are you, my therapist
getting this all out of me?

719
00:43:12,340 --> 00:43:13,420
I gotta hand it to you, buddy.

720
00:43:13,740 --> 00:43:16,100
It's not easy opening up. I appreciate
it. I really do.

721
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:17,840
You got it.

722
00:43:18,940 --> 00:43:21,800
Hey, can I show you something I've been
working on?

723
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:23,040
Yeah, of course. Come on.

724
00:43:23,370 --> 00:43:24,169
All right, guys.

725
00:43:24,170 --> 00:43:25,250
I'm ready to join in.

726
00:43:26,150 --> 00:43:27,150
Where are we at?

727
00:43:27,830 --> 00:43:30,150
Joaquin's just about to play something
for us. Oh, okay.

728
00:43:51,819 --> 00:43:53,180
Joaquin, that's a gift from heaven.

729
00:43:53,500 --> 00:43:54,500
You really think so?

730
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:55,880
We know so, bro.

731
00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,780
In fact, might be getting a call to join
me in the studio at some point.

732
00:44:01,020 --> 00:44:02,140
No way. Really?

733
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,040
Do you think it's good enough to play at
Talent Fest?

734
00:44:06,700 --> 00:44:08,140
Absolutely. Talent Fest?

735
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,700
Yeah, it's Lincoln's version of
America's Got Talent.

736
00:44:12,060 --> 00:44:14,020
Everybody comes out, people perform.

737
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,000
First year we're doing it at the new
theater.

738
00:44:16,460 --> 00:44:17,960
Your new theater.

739
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,000
You should do it.

740
00:44:22,660 --> 00:44:24,600
Would you maybe want to play with me?

741
00:44:24,820 --> 00:44:25,820
It's on the 20th.

742
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:27,560
The 20th?

743
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,920
Yeah, you think you might still be in
town?

744
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:33,320
Let's do it.

745
00:44:39,180 --> 00:44:40,180
Hi!

746
00:44:40,500 --> 00:44:43,940
So, what was so important that you
couldn't just talk to me on the phone?

747
00:44:44,380 --> 00:44:47,500
Uh, well, you're my big sister and I
want to make sure I'm doing the right

748
00:44:47,500 --> 00:44:48,279
with Jake.

749
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,680
You mean like just being friends?

750
00:44:50,300 --> 00:44:51,300
Right.

751
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,300
Except I may have overheard a
conversation between him and Joaquin.

752
00:44:54,740 --> 00:44:56,860
Oh, overheard? You mean like you were
eavesdropping?

753
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:59,280
Okay, fine.

754
00:44:59,300 --> 00:45:00,520
I was eavesdropping.

755
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:07,440
But Jake may have offhandedly admitted
that he still has feelings for me.

756
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,100
Yeah, not exactly a newsflash.

757
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,480
You heard his speech at the dedication.

758
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,560
I saw the way he was looking at you at
dinner, okay?

759
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,480
Okay, I know he has been all over the
place emotionally since getting back,

760
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:20,560
I just chalked it up to nerves.

761
00:45:21,020 --> 00:45:22,820
Okay, so do you still have feelings for
him?

762
00:45:27,700 --> 00:45:28,700
I don't know.

763
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,860
It's all just like a giant jumble in my
head.

764
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,860
I mean, first love is so magical, right?
But we were just kids back then, and

765
00:45:35,860 --> 00:45:37,240
we're completely different people now.

766
00:45:37,460 --> 00:45:42,260
Totally. I do care about him. I just
don't know if it's my heart or if it's

767
00:45:42,260 --> 00:45:43,820
compassion for everything that he's been
through.

768
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,200
Pity is not exactly a great foundation
for a good relationship.

769
00:45:48,860 --> 00:45:50,000
Agreed. It's just...

770
00:45:50,780 --> 00:45:54,980
Taking me back to Jake in high school
when he was just so passionate about his

771
00:45:54,980 --> 00:46:00,100
music. You know, it was never his voice
or his good looks that drew me in. But

772
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:03,260
he is not hard to look at. I think he
got hotter.

773
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,860
No, it was the way that when he would
play music, he just came alive, you

774
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,300
Like he was born for it.

775
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:12,960
Yeah.

776
00:46:13,300 --> 00:46:17,300
I get those same shivers when Spencer
presents his recreation budget at the

777
00:46:17,300 --> 00:46:18,380
council meeting every year.

778
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,260
You are so weird. It's really sexy.

779
00:46:23,860 --> 00:46:26,140
Just promise me this.

780
00:46:27,060 --> 00:46:32,620
If you're feeling feelings, just make
sure that they're for your Jace and not

781
00:46:32,620 --> 00:46:37,760
like some celebrity, annoying, ying
-yang version of him.

782
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:40,540
Invite him to church.

783
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,680
If he comes Sunday, just promise him.

784
00:47:02,220 --> 00:47:09,160
Every blessing tune my heart to sing thy
grace.

785
00:47:09,340 --> 00:47:16,060
Dreams of mercy never ceasing call

786
00:47:16,060 --> 00:47:20,200
for songs of loudest praise.

787
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,860
God, we're so thankful, Lord, that you
seal our heart.

788
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,500
That you bless us and that you keep us.

789
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,380
Father, thank you for what you're doing
in the hearts of those in this room.

790
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,580
Thank you so much for bringing the
change in their lives.

791
00:48:22,020 --> 00:48:23,040
We love you.

792
00:48:24,380 --> 00:48:26,820
Good morning. How are you doing this
morning?

793
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,860
My name is Gerald Barganier. It's really
good to be in the house of the Lord

794
00:48:32,860 --> 00:48:38,140
today. And as always, it's really good
to be among Lincoln Community Church. So

795
00:48:38,140 --> 00:48:39,320
glad you're here today.

796
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,600
Some of us think that our successes will
set us free.

797
00:48:44,700 --> 00:48:49,620
Some of us think that our talents will
set us free. But it's not any of those

798
00:48:49,620 --> 00:48:52,660
things. It is the truth that sets you
free.

799
00:48:53,100 --> 00:48:58,080
Some of you all need to be set free by
the truth because you are only as sick

800
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:59,080
your secrets.

801
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,600
What secrets are you hiding from the
people who love you?

802
00:49:04,259 --> 00:49:05,259
Thank you for coming.

803
00:49:05,460 --> 00:49:06,460
She's bad.

804
00:49:07,060 --> 00:49:09,020
Well, I taught her.

805
00:49:09,860 --> 00:49:11,360
One. You can have one.

806
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:13,080
Hey,

807
00:49:13,460 --> 00:49:15,040
Jake. Hey.

808
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:17,360
Thanks for coming today.

809
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,380
It's been a long time since I've
darkened these doors.

810
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:21,620
Probably since you screw.

811
00:49:22,620 --> 00:49:25,040
Probably. Well, we were just about to
grab a bite to eat.

812
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,500
Jerry went here to get a table.

813
00:49:26,740 --> 00:49:29,940
You hungry? You know, I'm actually kind
of behind on a couple of deadlines.

814
00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:32,780
Appreciate the invite, but I'm going to
get some writing done today.

815
00:49:33,340 --> 00:49:34,340
Are you okay?

816
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:35,500
Yeah.

817
00:49:35,720 --> 00:49:37,360
It was really beautiful, by the way.

818
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:38,880
Thanks.

819
00:49:39,260 --> 00:49:40,260
I gotta go.

820
00:49:40,860 --> 00:49:41,860
It's good to see you guys.

821
00:49:42,020 --> 00:49:42,698
You too.

822
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:43,700
Bye, Jake.

823
00:49:44,860 --> 00:49:47,200
Well, he showed up.

824
00:49:48,300 --> 00:49:49,300
Yeah, he did.

825
00:49:58,620 --> 00:50:04,080
I was busy running, trying to put some
trophies on my shelf.

826
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:09,340
No wonder why it took some time for me
to understand.

827
00:50:10,220 --> 00:50:14,340
Lord knows I'm only half the man.

828
00:50:19,580 --> 00:50:21,200
Hey. Hey.

829
00:50:21,820 --> 00:50:23,960
Needed a change of scenery from Tommy's
place.

830
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:26,460
Yeah, I actually stopped by. He said you
weren't there.

831
00:50:27,070 --> 00:50:28,550
And I had a feeling you might be here.

832
00:50:31,470 --> 00:50:32,470
Yeah.

833
00:50:32,710 --> 00:50:34,550
You kind of hightailed it out of church
today.

834
00:50:35,290 --> 00:50:36,290
Yeah, sorry about that.

835
00:50:37,270 --> 00:50:42,450
That pastor man seemed like he was
talking straight to me. Yeah, he kind of

836
00:50:42,450 --> 00:50:43,450
that effect on everyone.

837
00:50:45,750 --> 00:50:46,750
What's this song?

838
00:50:47,990 --> 00:50:49,130
Something I've been working on.

839
00:50:49,350 --> 00:50:52,730
I only have a verse and chorus part of
it, at least.

840
00:50:53,750 --> 00:50:56,090
Looks like I've been banging my head
against the wall for months now.

841
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:58,560
Can I hear it?

842
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,120
Maybe I could give you some feedback.

843
00:51:29,100 --> 00:51:31,040
Without you?

844
00:51:50,380 --> 00:51:57,320
Without you Wherever

845
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:01,680
the wind blows no matter what I do

846
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:08,200
And that's where I get stuck Is

847
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,500
that about us?

848
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,120
The verse is beautiful

849
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,140
Can I hear that chorus again?

850
00:52:24,740 --> 00:52:30,860
Without you Without

851
00:52:30,860 --> 00:52:37,340
you Wherever

852
00:52:37,340 --> 00:52:41,420
that wind blows No matter what I do

853
00:53:00,220 --> 00:53:01,940
What was that? That was good.

854
00:53:03,660 --> 00:53:04,960
How'd you just get that so fast?

855
00:53:05,980 --> 00:53:07,680
Maybe I'm a songwriting prodigy.

856
00:53:08,780 --> 00:53:10,380
That or the sermon got to me too.

857
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:12,200
Yeah, that sermon.

858
00:53:13,860 --> 00:53:15,340
I'm only as sick as my secrets.

859
00:53:18,589 --> 00:53:19,589
Jake, what is it?

860
00:53:25,330 --> 00:53:26,610
FTA dropped me from the label.

861
00:53:27,870 --> 00:53:29,330
What? Yeah.

862
00:53:30,630 --> 00:53:34,150
I think my first album should be called
Vanishing to Thin Air, because that is

863
00:53:34,150 --> 00:53:35,230
exactly what it did.

864
00:53:37,590 --> 00:53:38,590
I'm so sorry.

865
00:53:39,790 --> 00:53:41,050
How did this happen?

866
00:53:41,910 --> 00:53:42,970
It's not a show of friendship.

867
00:53:43,190 --> 00:53:44,230
It's a show of business, right?

868
00:53:44,590 --> 00:53:46,170
If you're not making your label...

869
00:53:47,900 --> 00:53:49,860
Hits and fans and money.

870
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:55,160
So you just came back for the
dedication, then? Yeah.

871
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,700
I didn't know how to tell everybody.
What am I supposed to say? Your local

872
00:53:59,700 --> 00:54:00,700
turned zero?

873
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:02,680
Complete imposter at this point.

874
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,380
Jake, you're not an imposter. Everyone
in this town loves you, and they always

875
00:54:06,380 --> 00:54:08,180
will. No matter what.

876
00:54:08,660 --> 00:54:13,060
I don't know. Tommy thinks if I can at
least try to finish writing some of

877
00:54:13,060 --> 00:54:14,840
songs, maybe I'll have a shot at another
label.

878
00:54:15,220 --> 00:54:16,220
Well, I'm...

879
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,880
Who knows? Maybe coming home's exactly
what you needed.

880
00:54:21,380 --> 00:54:22,400
Hong is beautiful.

881
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:25,920
Thanks to you.

882
00:54:27,820 --> 00:54:33,860
Jake... Thank you for being honest with
me.

883
00:54:34,980 --> 00:54:39,420
Yeah, well... While the cat's out of the
bag...

884
00:54:39,420 --> 00:54:45,480
Whether or not I get an actual shot at a
music career...

885
00:54:45,690 --> 00:54:48,350
I threw away the best thing in my life.

886
00:54:49,970 --> 00:54:51,350
Anything, Lincoln? No.

887
00:55:21,779 --> 00:55:23,120
Tommy boy, you finally answered.

888
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:24,440
What can I do for you, Marvin?

889
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,660
Well, I was hoping you could just spell
a nasty little rumor that's been buzzing

890
00:55:27,660 --> 00:55:28,499
around town.

891
00:55:28,500 --> 00:55:29,660
And what rumor is that?

892
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,040
Rumor is you've been shopping my Jakey
boy to the competitors.

893
00:55:33,380 --> 00:55:36,340
May I remind you, Jakey has a non
-compete clause in his contract.

894
00:55:36,940 --> 00:55:40,380
Oh, you mean the contract that you tore
up? Nah, don't be getting your side on

895
00:55:40,380 --> 00:55:41,380
the fence, Tommy boy.

896
00:55:41,500 --> 00:55:45,560
My bean counters haven't finished his
official exit papers yet. You took away

897
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,720
his car, his condo. You kicked him out
of the studio, Marvin. That sounds

898
00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:49,718
official to me.

899
00:55:49,720 --> 00:55:50,720
Official?

900
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,900
Oh, it'll be official soon enough. And
until then, I don't want to hear about

901
00:55:53,900 --> 00:55:56,600
any more fishing expeditions with any
other labels.

902
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:57,920
We clear?

903
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,700
I have to look out for the best interest
of my client.

904
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:01,920
You best mind yourself.

905
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:06,060
Or I'll flush you and Jakey Boy down
faster than convenience store sushi in a

906
00:56:06,060 --> 00:56:07,060
Nashville gas station.

907
00:56:07,780 --> 00:56:10,120
Wow. That is... I just made that up.

908
00:56:10,580 --> 00:56:15,480
Nice work, man. But with all due
respect... Hang me.

909
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:19,360
Hey, Lila.

910
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,000
Hard pass.

911
00:56:22,620 --> 00:56:23,620
Hang this up.

912
00:56:24,660 --> 00:56:25,660
Good talk.

913
00:56:31,340 --> 00:56:33,020
You good?

914
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,500
Yeah. You?

915
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,820
Did not expect that.

916
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:40,740
Me neither.

917
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:43,720
So what now?

918
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,040
Um, I think maybe we should just take it
slow.

919
00:56:48,260 --> 00:56:49,960
See where it goes. You know.

920
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:51,620
Dip our toes in the water.

921
00:56:52,260 --> 00:56:53,920
That was more than just the toe in the
water.

922
00:56:55,180 --> 00:56:56,180
Yeah.

923
00:56:56,740 --> 00:56:58,800
Okay, what about your song?

924
00:56:59,260 --> 00:57:00,260
What about it?

925
00:57:00,540 --> 00:57:05,680
Well, what if, I don't know, what if you
record a demo and Tommy can shop it

926
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:06,680
around Nashville?

927
00:57:06,820 --> 00:57:07,820
I love that idea.

928
00:57:07,940 --> 00:57:08,940
Let me check with Tommy.

929
00:57:09,300 --> 00:57:10,300
Okay.

930
00:57:18,260 --> 00:57:19,560
We're going to have to hold off for a
while.

931
00:57:20,669 --> 00:57:21,589
Sorry, guys.

932
00:57:21,590 --> 00:57:24,810
What the heck, Tommy? FPA kicked me to
the curb. Well, it happens all the time,

933
00:57:24,830 --> 00:57:25,830
Jake.

934
00:57:25,850 --> 00:57:26,850
Marvin's a control freak.

935
00:57:27,070 --> 00:57:30,790
You know that. I just talked to a
lawyer, and it's just a timing issue. So

936
00:57:30,790 --> 00:57:33,650
the ink is dry on those termination
papers, we're going to have to lay low

937
00:57:33,650 --> 00:57:37,930
while. Okay, so no demo recording, but
you still have to finish the second

938
00:57:37,930 --> 00:57:38,930
verse, right?

939
00:57:39,050 --> 00:57:40,410
I like the way she thinks.

940
00:57:40,610 --> 00:57:42,330
You know, strike while the creative
iron's hot.

941
00:57:42,770 --> 00:57:44,190
But I'm not doing it without you.

942
00:57:45,010 --> 00:57:46,770
You're the inspiration for the song in
the first place.

943
00:57:48,030 --> 00:57:49,030
That works for me.

944
00:57:49,390 --> 00:57:50,990
Spend as much time with her as you can,
then.

945
00:57:54,950 --> 00:57:57,850
Wait. What's going on here? Are you two
back together?

946
00:57:59,730 --> 00:58:01,690
Shut the front door. You are back
together.

947
00:58:02,050 --> 00:58:03,050
When did this happen?

948
00:58:03,310 --> 00:58:04,310
30 seconds ago.

949
00:58:04,950 --> 00:58:07,950
Oh, man. High school me is so happy
right now.

950
00:58:09,550 --> 00:58:10,670
Congrats, guys. Seriously.

951
00:58:11,250 --> 00:58:13,370
It's very non -public right now. Smart.

952
00:58:13,570 --> 00:58:17,370
Yeah. Okay. I'm going to let you two
sort this out, but I'll see you

953
00:58:17,790 --> 00:58:21,140
Yeah. I think I can wait a full 24 hours
before seeing you.

954
00:58:22,700 --> 00:58:24,240
All right. Well, patience is a virtue.

955
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:25,760
We'll see you soon.

956
00:58:28,780 --> 00:58:29,780
You dog.

957
00:58:30,380 --> 00:58:31,980
Bro, I feel like my luck is turning.

958
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:37,200
You kissed?

959
00:58:39,340 --> 00:58:41,160
That seems really fast.

960
00:58:41,780 --> 00:58:45,340
So what happened was I was helping him
write his new love song, which...

961
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,920
It happens to be about me, and it's
going to happen.

962
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:50,240
Oh, my gosh.

963
00:58:50,540 --> 00:58:53,900
I'm having naughty little hot flashes
here. You realize what you're saying,

964
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:59,020
right? You're helping this, like, big
recording artist write a love song about

965
00:58:59,020 --> 00:59:01,740
you. Yeah, it sounds pretty crazy,
right?

966
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,080
But this is our Jake.

967
00:59:07,220 --> 00:59:11,820
He's not a vagabond teenager anymore,
and he has been so open with me, and he

968
00:59:11,820 --> 00:59:14,420
doing everything in his power to earn my
trust back.

969
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:16,480
Sounds pretty sweet.

970
00:59:17,580 --> 00:59:19,500
But what are you going to do when he
goes back to Nashville?

971
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:21,040
I don't know.

972
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,000
I'm not thinking that far ahead.

973
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,480
But it could be a while. He's in between
music contracts right now, so that

974
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:28,480
could take some time.

975
00:59:29,380 --> 00:59:32,740
And besides, I'm not an emotionally
wrecked teenager anymore.

976
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,380
Well, it sounds like you have a good
head on your shoulders about it.

977
00:59:37,980 --> 00:59:40,260
But you know what I'm going to say,
right?

978
00:59:40,540 --> 00:59:41,459
Mm -hmm.

979
00:59:41,460 --> 00:59:42,740
Well, as far as I'm concerned.

980
00:59:43,370 --> 00:59:44,288
You go, girl.

981
00:59:44,290 --> 00:59:45,530
Do you live here?

982
00:59:46,290 --> 00:59:47,910
Babe, I'm sorry to leave you hanging.

983
00:59:48,150 --> 00:59:54,810
Don't mention it, don't mention it.
Look, hair grows slow, but love grows

984
00:59:56,170 --> 00:59:57,170
Right.

985
01:00:05,830 --> 01:00:07,930
I can't believe this song is finally
finished.

986
01:00:08,890 --> 01:00:12,350
Like, after months of struggle, I feel
like it wrote itself.

987
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:14,260
Because you put your heart on paper.

988
01:00:15,780 --> 01:00:16,980
You wrote down your truth.

989
01:00:18,260 --> 01:00:19,260
Both are truths.

990
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,320
Watching you put all of that together,
it was like you were put on this earth

991
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:26,320
write music.

992
01:00:26,540 --> 01:00:27,880
I'm not so sure about that anymore.

993
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:30,280
I am.

994
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:32,380
I always have been.

995
01:00:33,940 --> 01:00:36,680
Even in high school, watching you, it
was so clear.

996
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:38,800
Part of your DNA.

997
01:00:40,900 --> 01:00:42,260
Nobody's believed in me like you do.

998
01:00:43,390 --> 01:00:44,470
Sorry to interrupt.

999
01:00:45,250 --> 01:00:47,410
And Dad.

1000
01:00:48,110 --> 01:00:51,690
I didn't see you come in. We just got
here.

1001
01:00:51,970 --> 01:00:54,950
We love coming out and hearing Doug E.
Fresh play guitar.

1002
01:00:55,850 --> 01:00:59,750
And just so you know, we're thrilled
about this.

1003
01:01:02,370 --> 01:01:03,710
Jim? Who else?

1004
01:01:05,530 --> 01:01:09,570
Jake. I never asked this of you when you
were a kid at our house.

1005
01:01:10,530 --> 01:01:12,490
But would you play a song for us?

1006
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:16,000
Really? Please.

1007
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:18,320
Okay.

1008
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:23,600
Thank you, man. Thank you.

1009
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:28,640
What's going on, everybody?

1010
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:37,640
The new one?

1011
01:01:37,860 --> 01:01:38,860
Yeah.

1012
01:01:39,980 --> 01:01:41,360
This is a song that I just wrote.

1013
01:01:43,210 --> 01:01:46,630
with someone who's very special to me.

1014
01:01:49,810 --> 01:01:56,410
I left my girl in my hometown and left
me by myself I was busy

1015
01:01:56,410 --> 01:02:03,150
running trying to put some trophies on
myself No wonder why it took some

1016
01:02:03,150 --> 01:02:09,570
time for me to understand Lord knows I'm
only half the man

1017
01:02:13,479 --> 01:02:15,160
Without you.

1018
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,360
Without you.

1019
01:02:24,460 --> 01:02:27,120
Without you by my side.

1020
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,420
Won't spend every day and night.

1021
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:36,440
For the rest of time. Cause you can't
spell us without you.

1022
01:02:39,780 --> 01:02:40,780
Without.

1023
01:02:54,900 --> 01:02:56,600
Mace, can I have your phone? What?

1024
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,100
Phone. I'll get the phone. Thank you.

1025
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,340
It's getting thousands of likes.

1026
01:03:11,140 --> 01:03:12,140
It's blowing up.

1027
01:03:12,980 --> 01:03:14,020
That's what's supposed to happen.

1028
01:03:16,140 --> 01:03:17,160
Tommy's? Yeah, I'm on it.

1029
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:18,360
Yeah.

1030
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,160
Is there any way to delete this?

1031
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:22,420
Not unless you're the one who posted it.

1032
01:03:24,270 --> 01:03:26,070
You know, you really do need to download
Ying Yang.

1033
01:03:28,410 --> 01:03:31,910
What's going to happen, Tommy? Did I
blow it? Take a breath, man. It's not

1034
01:03:31,910 --> 01:03:32,629
end of the world.

1035
01:03:32,630 --> 01:03:35,790
Let's call Ying Yang. They love you.
Let's just have him pull the video.

1036
01:03:37,490 --> 01:03:38,490
Yeah.

1037
01:03:39,470 --> 01:03:40,470
Oh.

1038
01:03:40,830 --> 01:03:41,830
It's Marvin.

1039
01:03:42,230 --> 01:03:43,189
It's fine.

1040
01:03:43,190 --> 01:03:44,190
Don't freak out.

1041
01:03:44,430 --> 01:03:46,010
This can play out in any number of ways.

1042
01:03:48,550 --> 01:03:50,110
Marvin. Tommy boy.

1043
01:03:51,470 --> 01:03:52,530
How's my favorite manager?

1044
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:54,160
What up, Marvin?

1045
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:59,060
Brilliant move, leaking that single onto
the radar on Tiki -Tac. Uh, ying -yang.

1046
01:03:59,220 --> 01:04:02,140
And yeah, we're in the process of
getting that video pulled down. Yeah,

1047
01:04:02,140 --> 01:04:05,240
good. Having it up overnight and then
yanking it like a big mistake.

1048
01:04:05,580 --> 01:04:06,740
Man, genius.

1049
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,600
So, you're not mad?

1050
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,340
Mad. Yeah, I'm mad.

1051
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,140
Man, I'm in love with that song.

1052
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,600
My phone's been pinging off the hook all
morning. I had no idea what you and

1053
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,040
Jakey Boy were up to. Back there in that
little weed patch, Colorado.

1054
01:04:20,300 --> 01:04:23,900
Finishing up that single under my nose.
Proving all along why Jakey belongs at

1055
01:04:23,900 --> 01:04:26,480
FTA. What are you talking about, Marvin?
You dumped me from the label.

1056
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:27,999
Jakey, my boy.

1057
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,540
Of course I didn't fire you. You know
me. I use fear and shame to get what I

1058
01:04:31,540 --> 01:04:34,160
want. That was me just lighting a fire
in the rear to get those songs written

1059
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:34,899
for the album.

1060
01:04:34,900 --> 01:04:36,480
Man, you took my car and my condo.

1061
01:04:36,860 --> 01:04:38,640
Nah, that was just a time out, brother.

1062
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:40,240
That's like what I do with my kids, bro.

1063
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,440
Take over the toys to do the homework.

1064
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,400
In fact, I got all the boys right here.
Hey, boys, say what up. What up?

1065
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,620
They're all ready to ride those backup
tracks, but without you, as soon as you

1066
01:04:50,620 --> 01:04:54,180
get your keister back in here. So, how
soon can your rear get here?

1067
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,080
I don't know. Yeah, no, no, no. We're
going to wait just a little bit on those

1068
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,800
plans, Marvin, to see what the
marketplace has for us.

1069
01:05:01,020 --> 01:05:03,920
You're going to do what? Bye, Marvin.
Okay, we're going to make him sweat just

1070
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:04,519
little bit.

1071
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,720
Okay, just like he did with us. We
finally have the power back in this

1072
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:08,720
relationship.

1073
01:05:09,180 --> 01:05:13,140
This is only my whole career on the line
here. Do you trust me? You keep saying

1074
01:05:13,140 --> 01:05:17,000
that. It keeps working out, doesn't it?
You got everything you wanted when you

1075
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,180
got back here. You got your music
unstuck.

1076
01:05:21,420 --> 01:05:22,420
Amber did.

1077
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:23,800
Even better, right?

1078
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:27,720
Yeah.

1079
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:29,760
Hey, is she still here?

1080
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:31,200
Left a while ago.

1081
01:05:31,460 --> 01:05:32,540
All right. Thanks, buddy.

1082
01:05:33,940 --> 01:05:34,940
Love you.

1083
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,180
I looked everywhere for you. I realize I
still don't even have your phone

1084
01:05:41,180 --> 01:05:44,700
number. Well, you know me. I like to
wait until the second date to give out

1085
01:05:44,700 --> 01:05:45,700
details.

1086
01:05:46,820 --> 01:05:48,400
I'm really excited for Talent Fest.

1087
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:51,120
Me too.

1088
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,180
And for what it's going to mean for
Joaquin.

1089
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:55,900
I love that kid.

1090
01:05:57,500 --> 01:06:01,260
So, what happens after that?

1091
01:06:04,940 --> 01:06:05,940
Sit with me.

1092
01:06:15,460 --> 01:06:21,300
If the record label wants me back, I get
a second chance to make my album.

1093
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:23,240
That's great news.

1094
01:06:25,420 --> 01:06:27,520
That's not the second chance that I care
most about.

1095
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:37,660
I feel like after all the distance that
I put between us, because frankly, I'm

1096
01:06:37,660 --> 01:06:38,359
an idiot.

1097
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,920
I feel like I've been given a second
chance.

1098
01:06:44,330 --> 01:06:45,810
To figure out who I am in this world.

1099
01:06:47,250 --> 01:06:51,950
And a second chance to love you.

1100
01:06:54,350 --> 01:06:55,970
And I do, Amber, I love you.

1101
01:06:58,270 --> 01:06:59,470
I love you too, Jake.

1102
01:07:20,799 --> 01:07:25,100
Without you by my side, I'll spend every
day and night.

1103
01:07:25,860 --> 01:07:26,860
Well,

1104
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:28,800
you look like you're on cloud nine.

1105
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:33,520
It turns out we didn't have to leave
Marvin dangling for too long.

1106
01:07:34,060 --> 01:07:36,280
I just got a very interesting call from
his attorney.

1107
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:37,459
Oh, what about?

1108
01:07:37,460 --> 01:07:41,640
They want to bump up your previous deal,
add another two years, and give you as

1109
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:43,360
much latitude as you need to finish the
album.

1110
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:47,280
Plus, they're even willing to give you
an advance on your single. It is a win

1111
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,400
-win. I get my car and my condo back?

1112
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,750
Yes! That goes without saying, man.

1113
01:07:52,950 --> 01:07:55,270
Wait a minute, what's the catch? With
Marvin, there's always a catch.

1114
01:07:57,290 --> 01:08:00,990
He wants us on a plane back tomorrow
night so that we can start laying down

1115
01:08:00,990 --> 01:08:01,549
the track.

1116
01:08:01,550 --> 01:08:02,550
Oh, no.

1117
01:08:02,590 --> 01:08:06,030
The talent fest is this weekend. I
promised Amber and Joaquin I'd be there.

1118
01:08:06,030 --> 01:08:08,650
Marvin said to qualify for the Country
Music Awards.

1119
01:08:09,150 --> 01:08:11,430
We have to get the EP released by next
week.

1120
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:23,960
Joaquin, it's beautiful.

1121
01:08:23,979 --> 01:08:25,479
Do not stop on my account.

1122
01:08:26,779 --> 01:08:30,420
I saw you and Jake online, Ms. Gibson.
And the new song, too.

1123
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,819
Yeah, you along with half of the world's
population, apparently.

1124
01:08:34,180 --> 01:08:35,180
It's not that choogy.

1125
01:08:36,260 --> 01:08:39,819
Choogy? Choogy. Like, uh, all drip.

1126
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:41,439
No cap.

1127
01:08:41,740 --> 01:08:42,740
Like, cool.

1128
01:08:42,779 --> 01:08:44,260
Right. Cool. Right.

1129
01:08:46,340 --> 01:08:49,359
I just wish I could write, play, and
sing like that one day.

1130
01:08:49,899 --> 01:08:51,260
I'm sure you'll be able to.

1131
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:53,280
I hope so.

1132
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,140
I'm a bowl of noodles right now.

1133
01:08:56,300 --> 01:09:00,660
If I don't have you and Jake with me at
Talent Fest, I don't even want to play.

1134
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:02,279
Joaquin, don't worry.

1135
01:09:02,500 --> 01:09:05,300
Okay, I talked to Jake last night, and
we're both going to be there.

1136
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:07,560
Thank you.

1137
01:09:07,779 --> 01:09:08,859
Think you could play that again?

1138
01:09:09,220 --> 01:09:10,220
Yeah.

1139
01:09:39,919 --> 01:09:40,960
OMG. What?

1140
01:09:41,359 --> 01:09:42,399
You're in love.

1141
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:45,140
Jump to conclusion?

1142
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:50,300
Uh -uh, girl. I recognize that little
thing you do with your legs from high

1143
01:09:50,300 --> 01:09:51,300
school.

1144
01:09:52,700 --> 01:09:54,300
You're totally in love.

1145
01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:00,220
He may have professed his love to me
after a long walk under the lights and

1146
01:10:00,220 --> 01:10:01,220
cuddled by a fire.

1147
01:10:01,300 --> 01:10:03,720
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up the
bus.

1148
01:10:05,100 --> 01:10:06,760
professed his love for you.

1149
01:10:07,700 --> 01:10:09,120
Did you reciprocate?

1150
01:10:11,460 --> 01:10:15,540
I actually have to go to the coffee
shop. Amber, get back here! You are an

1151
01:10:15,540 --> 01:10:16,540
emotional terrorist!

1152
01:10:18,700 --> 01:10:21,340
Have a good night. Bye, guys.

1153
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:24,920
Oh, hey, Jake.

1154
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:26,640
Hey. You okay?

1155
01:10:27,300 --> 01:10:29,760
Yeah, yeah. You good? You had a good
turnout tonight?

1156
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:31,080
Oh, yeah, always.

1157
01:10:31,100 --> 01:10:32,840
It's Frappuccino Friday, so...

1158
01:10:35,310 --> 01:10:36,310
What is it?

1159
01:10:37,310 --> 01:10:41,870
Um, I don't know how to say this, but I
gotta miss the talent show.

1160
01:10:42,450 --> 01:10:43,450
What?

1161
01:10:43,990 --> 01:10:44,990
Why?

1162
01:10:45,310 --> 01:10:48,830
The label wants to release the single in
a week in order to qualify for awards

1163
01:10:48,830 --> 01:10:52,670
season, but that means they want me on a
red -eye tonight back to Nashville so I

1164
01:10:52,670 --> 01:10:54,450
can finish laying the vocal tracks like
this weekend.

1165
01:10:55,510 --> 01:10:58,590
Wow, that's great news, right?

1166
01:11:00,310 --> 01:11:02,870
I mean, considering the hole that I've
been in with these people for the last

1167
01:11:02,870 --> 01:11:03,870
year.

1168
01:11:05,010 --> 01:11:06,010
Huge news.

1169
01:11:06,690 --> 01:11:07,690
Amazing.

1170
01:11:08,470 --> 01:11:13,910
But I also know how much this show means
to you and to Joaquin, and I don't want

1171
01:11:13,910 --> 01:11:16,550
to let you down, and I feel really
horrible about this at the same time,

1172
01:11:16,550 --> 01:11:18,950
don't want you to feel like any of those
feelings from before.

1173
01:11:19,250 --> 01:11:23,450
I know how this could look, and it's not
my intention. Jake, it's okay.

1174
01:11:24,770 --> 01:11:25,770
We're okay.

1175
01:11:26,170 --> 01:11:29,490
That was then, this is now, and this is
how adults deal with their relationship

1176
01:11:29,490 --> 01:11:30,490
stuff, right?

1177
01:11:30,650 --> 01:11:31,608
I guess.

1178
01:11:31,610 --> 01:11:33,010
Right. All right.

1179
01:11:33,340 --> 01:11:38,320
Well, you go get on that plane, and you
sing your song. No, our song. Our song.

1180
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:45,260
Just rock it like you had an Elvis
transfusion, and I'll see you whenever

1181
01:11:45,260 --> 01:11:46,260
back, I guess.

1182
01:11:47,020 --> 01:11:48,020
I love you.

1183
01:11:48,740 --> 01:11:49,740
Don't be a stranger, Jake.

1184
01:12:02,190 --> 01:12:03,190
You ready?

1185
01:12:04,090 --> 01:12:05,990
Yeah. Hey, come on.

1186
01:12:06,490 --> 01:12:08,150
Marvin sent a private jet for you.

1187
01:12:09,150 --> 01:12:10,910
Better than a road trip and gas station
food.

1188
01:12:11,130 --> 01:12:13,990
Talk about whiplash, man. That guy
wanted nothing to do with me until he

1189
01:12:13,990 --> 01:12:14,709
this new song.

1190
01:12:14,710 --> 01:12:16,010
Now it rolls in the big leagues, bro.

1191
01:12:16,690 --> 01:12:19,590
I just hope that Amber knows I'm not
skipping town on her like last time.

1192
01:12:20,570 --> 01:12:22,030
Hey, listen.

1193
01:12:23,790 --> 01:12:27,550
You're on the cusp of some, like, really
big things here, okay?

1194
01:12:28,050 --> 01:12:29,050
I can feel it.

1195
01:12:29,730 --> 01:12:33,270
And then once you're on the top, if you
want to move Amber and this entire town

1196
01:12:33,270 --> 01:12:34,570
to Nashville, you can.

1197
01:12:36,070 --> 01:12:37,710
I mean, probably not literally.

1198
01:12:37,950 --> 01:12:38,950
Yeah,

1199
01:12:39,030 --> 01:12:41,190
you got it. All right. Just go before I
change my mind.

1200
01:12:42,630 --> 01:12:42,990
I

1201
01:12:42,990 --> 01:12:51,870
didn't

1202
01:12:51,870 --> 01:12:52,870
hear you come in, sweetie.

1203
01:12:54,010 --> 01:12:56,070
Yeah, I was just craving for Mom's
chocolate cake.

1204
01:12:57,350 --> 01:12:59,390
It looks more like noodling than
craving.

1205
01:13:09,910 --> 01:13:10,910
What's wrong?

1206
01:13:12,330 --> 01:13:17,990
I'm just, uh, yeah, just a little
worried about Talent Fest. I want it to

1207
01:13:17,990 --> 01:13:19,050
good for the kids.

1208
01:13:19,870 --> 01:13:22,070
Something happen with Jake?

1209
01:13:25,740 --> 01:13:29,140
I'm usually two steps behind your mom
and your sister when it comes to matters

1210
01:13:29,140 --> 01:13:30,160
of the heart.

1211
01:13:31,580 --> 01:13:36,180
But you twisted a lot of forks and a lot
of cakes back in high school, too.

1212
01:13:39,140 --> 01:13:40,460
He went back to Nashville.

1213
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:43,400
Sweetheart, I'm so sorry.

1214
01:13:46,460 --> 01:13:47,700
Do you think he'll be back?

1215
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:51,680
I don't know.

1216
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:53,520
I really hope so.

1217
01:13:54,460 --> 01:13:56,800
But all of this is just bringing up a
lot of old emotions.

1218
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:01,040
Now you listen to me, young lady.

1219
01:14:02,980 --> 01:14:07,520
When the love of your life left you the
first time, you were about to start life

1220
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:08,520
together.

1221
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:13,260
If you had gone on like everything was
normal, that would have been unhealthy.

1222
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:18,000
You should have seen how I reacted when
your mom told me she was going to break

1223
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,480
up with me for the first time.

1224
01:14:21,420 --> 01:14:25,120
I sat in my room and I listened to Black
Sabbath nonstop.

1225
01:14:25,480 --> 01:14:27,920
You guys broke up more than once?

1226
01:14:28,480 --> 01:14:29,680
Three times, actually.

1227
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:32,140
Or maybe it was four. I don't know.

1228
01:14:32,620 --> 01:14:33,900
It kind of locked down.

1229
01:14:34,940 --> 01:14:38,480
I had some growing up to do, just like
Jake.

1230
01:14:39,540 --> 01:14:44,240
Sweetheart, whatever happens, you are
going to be okay.

1231
01:14:45,740 --> 01:14:49,600
You spent so much time encouraging
others.

1232
01:14:50,700 --> 01:14:51,840
It's your superpower.

1233
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:57,460
I want you to receive this.

1234
01:14:58,660 --> 01:15:03,060
You are a beautiful, amazing woman.

1235
01:15:03,480 --> 01:15:09,940
God is using you to fix the world one

1236
01:15:09,940 --> 01:15:12,700
person at a time.

1237
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:16,840
And he's only just getting started with
you.

1238
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:19,320
Thank you, Daddy.

1239
01:15:20,089 --> 01:15:26,930
And if Jake doesn't realize all of that
about you, well, the music business can

1240
01:15:26,930 --> 01:15:29,510
have him, and he's the dumbest man in
the world.

1241
01:15:32,190 --> 01:15:33,190
Agreed.

1242
01:15:35,670 --> 01:15:40,810
I love you.

1243
01:15:42,230 --> 01:15:43,230
We love you.

1244
01:15:46,370 --> 01:15:50,030
Marvin. Tommy boy. What's up, man? I
tell you, you're my favorite man in the

1245
01:15:50,030 --> 01:15:51,030
city. Yeah.

1246
01:15:51,250 --> 01:15:52,249
Hey, Jake.

1247
01:15:52,250 --> 01:15:53,550
Welcome back to For the Artist.

1248
01:15:53,930 --> 01:15:54,648
Jakey boy.

1249
01:15:54,650 --> 01:15:57,170
Go ahead and get your rear end here,
huh? Let's get that platinum record

1250
01:15:57,170 --> 01:15:58,170
started. Woo!

1251
01:15:58,450 --> 01:16:00,250
Rhonda, take some notes here a little
bit. You know what I'm saying?

1252
01:16:00,510 --> 01:16:04,090
I think this kid's got it. Right? All
the time I have faith in him. Yeah,

1253
01:16:04,090 --> 01:16:07,350
testing him. That's it, just a little.
Yeah, a little test. Like my kids with

1254
01:16:07,350 --> 01:16:07,869
the toys.

1255
01:16:07,870 --> 01:16:10,870
We get it, okay? We get it. Like, we got
some big songs coming.

1256
01:16:11,150 --> 01:16:13,610
We'll bring Amber in here. It's gonna be
great. That hot blonde.

1257
01:16:13,870 --> 01:16:15,270
Yeah, that song's fire. Amber. She
single?

1258
01:16:21,870 --> 01:16:22,870
Hey.

1259
01:16:24,250 --> 01:16:26,650
I don't think I can do this. Hey, I know
you can.

1260
01:16:27,610 --> 01:16:28,790
Why couldn't Jake be here?

1261
01:16:30,310 --> 01:16:31,310
I'm here.

1262
01:16:32,170 --> 01:16:34,550
And I know that Jake is thinking about
you right now, okay?

1263
01:16:35,430 --> 01:16:36,770
Okay. You can do that.

1264
01:16:39,970 --> 01:16:42,010
Thank you very much.

1265
01:16:42,250 --> 01:16:46,790
Thank y 'all. Thank y 'all so much.
Thank you. Welcome to the fifth

1266
01:16:46,790 --> 01:16:48,970
edition of the Lincoln Talent Fest.

1267
01:16:49,230 --> 01:16:51,150
We are so thrilled to have you here with
us.

1268
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:56,600
And we have an amazing local lineup
backstage waiting just for you. So

1269
01:16:56,600 --> 01:17:01,240
further ado, we have dancing
extraordinaire Lola Iglesias.

1270
01:17:37,230 --> 01:17:41,070
effort to offer happiness and still know
that I love you.

1271
01:17:41,530 --> 01:17:43,130
It's always been so...

1272
01:17:43,130 --> 01:17:50,010
What did

1273
01:17:50,010 --> 01:17:52,330
I say? What did I do?

1274
01:17:52,850 --> 01:17:55,750
Do you still love me? Is that even true?

1275
01:17:58,390 --> 01:18:00,470
Up next, we have...

1276
01:18:01,580 --> 01:18:06,660
Okay, we have a late addition to our
lineup. It's our very own Mason Risser

1277
01:18:06,660 --> 01:18:07,660
Coffee 33.

1278
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,860
So please. What are you doing? Show your
love for the thinking buddy. My time is

1279
01:18:11,860 --> 01:18:12,860
depleted.

1280
01:18:18,380 --> 01:18:25,020
Meet me in St.

1281
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:26,800

1285
01:19:10,670 --> 01:19:15,410
High school junior Joaquin is in his
first few lessons here at the Music

1286
01:19:15,410 --> 01:19:19,090
Learning Center. But see, I have it on
good authority from my sister -in -law

1287
01:19:19,090 --> 01:19:21,970
Amber here that this kid is a natural.

1288
01:19:22,210 --> 01:19:25,050
So please show your love for Joaquin!

1289
01:20:45,530 --> 01:20:46,530
Lockheed, everybody!

1290
01:21:16,250 --> 01:21:17,250
Hey.

1291
01:21:19,750 --> 01:21:20,750
Hey, Beck.

1292
01:21:22,650 --> 01:21:26,570
I can't even begin to explain to you how
shocked I am that you're here.

1293
01:21:26,810 --> 01:21:27,810
I know.

1294
01:21:28,590 --> 01:21:30,330
That makes me both sad and happy.

1295
01:21:31,770 --> 01:21:35,490
It's sad that you didn't expect me, but
happy that you'll never have to say

1296
01:21:35,490 --> 01:21:36,490
those words ever again.

1297
01:21:38,370 --> 01:21:39,370
Really?

1298
01:21:40,970 --> 01:21:41,970
Across my heart.

1299
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:45,680
I don't understand, though, what
happened in Nashville.

1300
01:21:46,580 --> 01:21:48,560
I don't know. I got there and I just
couldn't go in.

1301
01:21:49,460 --> 01:21:54,680
I realized that if I'm going to keep
making music in this world, that I don't

1302
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:55,680
want to do it ever again.

1303
01:21:57,640 --> 01:21:58,640
Without you.

1304
01:22:02,700 --> 01:22:03,700
You're home.

1305
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:07,500
You are my alma mater.

1306
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:30,480
Word is, Jake Collins is tearing up his
contract with FTA Records and said, I'm

1307
01:22:30,480 --> 01:22:36,500
doing it on my own. Many thought he was
crazy, but his debut album is headed for

1308
01:22:36,500 --> 01:22:41,680
platinum, and his number one single made
the world fall in love with him, and

1309
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:48,320
his lovely songwriting partner, and now
fiancé, Amber Gibson, all over again.

1310
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,520
We'll be right back.

1311
01:23:37,480 --> 01:23:40,740
Everything means nothing without you.

1312
01:23:43,540 --> 01:23:45,640
Without you.

1313
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:56,040
I wanted to hold you, but I didn't want
to hold you back. Though I loved you,

1314
01:23:56,080 --> 01:24:00,460
though I always hoped you'd admit what
we had, no one...

1315
01:26:12,140 --> 01:26:18,500
Over those mountains There's a girl who
ran away

1316
01:26:18,500 --> 01:26:23,920
Across the dreariness of thousands

1317
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:30,480
And crossed for a way to hang Well, she

1318
01:26:30,480 --> 01:26:37,360
promised me the world And again she
didn't Maybe you should love me Maybe

1319
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:38,360
you shouldn't

1320
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,960
Meet me out on the porch in the morning.

1321
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,780
Last night it rained, it was pouring.

1322
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:53,820
So when the old man calls, I'll tell you
what to say.

1323
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:58,680
And I know how much you hate it when
someone tells you to pray.

1324
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,540
And I know it'll be hard for you to
stay.

1325
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:06,440
But I love you.

1326
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:08,020
I love you.
