Instant Star (2004) s01e09 Episode Script

Getting dumped by your first boyfriend always hurts.
Having the moment captured by TV cameras feels a thousand times worse.
Sometimes being in the public eye means there's no safe place to hide.
Okay, honey, I'm off.
Tell your sister goodbye for me when she wakes up, okay? Okay.
Have fun.
Honey, are you sure you're okay? Yeah.
Mom, I'm fine.
I mean, I can skip it if you need me, honey.
Mom, no.
You're gonna miss your flight.
Have fun.
There's a casserole in the freezer.
- Hey, Harrisons.
- Jamie! Gimme the paper, Jamie.
Kat's getting the ones at school.
Okay, that's it.
I'm staying, honey.
No, mom, it's fine.
Really.
Dad said I don't have to go to school today, anyway.
- You sure you're okay? - Yeah.
Okay, see you later.
That's the thing about love.
Every time you give a guy your heart, there's a chance he'll hand it back to you in pieces.
Yep, she' s here.
I'll tell her.
Okay.
Bye.
Honey? That was Georgia.
She wants you back at the studio.
Ah, dad, already? Sweetheart, you haven't left the house in two days.
So? You can't play hooky from your life, honey.
Not even like a little bit? God, I wish I could protect you from this stuff.
Guys can be jerks, what can I say? Okay.
I gotta go.
Morning.
Morning.
Where were you? Relax, okay? I was at a friends house.
I left you guys a message.
Just 'cause your mother's away doesn't mean that the rules went with her.
Really? 'Cause I thought mom's rules were meant to be broken.
Well, just ask next time.
Jude, studio? Promise me.
Yeah.
See ya.
Whoa! What's with you two lately? You really have no idea, do you? About what? Maybe if you weren't so wrapped up in your own life, you'd already know.
You have something for me? Thanks.
Misura's begging to have you as the face of their new spring line.
The shoot's this afternoon if you say yes.
What do you mean, if? Yeah! That's awesome! And on sunday, you'll perform Your eyes, live, on Under the mic.
Shut up! They called as soon as the video dropped.
Everyone wants to hear about you and Shay.
Right.
This is all because of Shay? Never underestimate the power of pity.
- EJ! - What? Look, every girl in the country is relating to you right now.
You have an opportunity that most of them would kill for.
What do you mean? You can write a song and tell the jerk who broke your heart exactly how you feel.
Yeah, that sounds like fun.
Good.
Then you and Tom can get to work on it right away.
We're on a nice little wave, here guys.
So, let's see how far we can ride it.
Great.
Are you feelin' that? - Yeah, it's okay.
- Okay? When this song hits, Shay's gonna wish he had a last name to change.
Let's get to the lyrics.
Are you seriously gonna sit there and pretend that this is only about Shay? Jude, don't start.
I didn't, Tommy.
You did.
Remember? You kissed me.
You wanna keep your voice down? That's not what we talked about.
I know! "It never happened and it didn't mean anything," Tommy.
But it did! And it does! - That wasn't the deal! - Well, neither was this! I don't even wanna be around you, right now.
I'll write this song myself.
What am I supposed to tell Georgia? I don't know.
You better think of something fast, huh? Back so soon? How'd it go? Great.
I have a new photoshoot, and they asked me to be on Under the mic this weekend.
No way! Jude, that's huge! That's got to cheer you up, huh? Yeah, yeah.
I guess.
Dad, what's going on with you and Sadie lately? You know this whole music thing that you and I share? I think she probably feels left out.
That's it? Yeah.
Well, dad, that's just as much my fault as yours.
Where is she? She's at school.
I'm gonna go talk to her.
Finally I have a problem I can fix! You know, Jude, I'd rather you just left that.
Why are you so kissy lately? I don't know.
Stockin' up, I guess.
No more PDA once Jude gets back.
How is she? It's been days.
- I think she's okay.
- "Okay" okay? Or "faking it through the worst heartbreak of my life" okay? More like "wish everyone would quit worrying about me" okay.
Hey! It's it's Jude! Walking up on us ever so quietly.
I've been playing homework sherpa while you were gone.
We've got a chem test monday.
I'm kinda more worried about Sadie right now than science.
Have you guys seen her? Speak of the coppertoned devil.
Awesome! Thanks.
So, dad told me what's been bugging you.
We'be been so wrapped up in my career that we've been shutting you out, right? - Really? - Yeah.
And I think I can make it up to you.
So have you heard of "Misura by Joeffer Caoc"? Hi, ever been in my closet? Well, I'm doing a photo shoot for them this afternoon and I want you to come.
We haven't hung out in ages.
- Jude, I don't know - C'mon, Sadie.
I know you miss me.
EJ said that you could take home samples, and I'll treat you to dinner, and we won't fight.
It'll be great.
You had me at "free samples", okay? Okay.
Nice, Yola.
You're done.
I'm Simon.
I'll be shooting you.
Hi.
Jude.
Relax.
It's a lot more fun than it sounds.
This is my sister, Sadie.
Sexy Sadie.
Let's see what you got, girl.
Hey, dad.
It's us.
We're still at the photo shoot.
Simon says - Simon says! - Such a dork.
After we're done we're gonna go out for dinner, and then who knows, maybe downtown.
So don't wait up, okay? - We'll call you later.
- Simon says "bye!" You look great in every one of them.
Think so? Absolutely.
Plus, I have an invite to this club opening tonight and I'd like it if you came.
She'd love to.
Beautiful.
I'll pack up.
What about dinner tonight? Oh, like that even compares.
- Thanks for today.
- No problem.
I really needed it, you know? Yeah.
Me too.
Have fun.
I told ya you missed me.
Get in.
What part of "I hate you right now" are you not getting? You want to write the song alone? Fine.
But Under the mic is sunday, and we gotta rehearse.
- You need me for that.
- Right.
You wish, Quincy.
I'm sorry, okay? Okay.
Now try meaning it.
Look, this is hard for me, too.
But we've been working on this album for months, and we are so close.
Don't let one stupid little mistake that I-- I didn't mean it like that.
Just come back.
I had a great day today, Tommy.
A really, really good day where people didn't hurt me every time they opened their mouths.
Changed my mind! Take me with you.
- Jude, okay.
- Go.
in the sea Would you dive right in and save me? If I was falling like a star Would you be right there to catch me? If I was dreaming of your kiss How's it coming? She can't nail it.
She's too distracted.
She just had her heart handed to her on a stick, Tommy.
Give the kid a break.
Shay really messed her up.
Your eyes are holding up the sky Men.
Can't live with 'em, can't stuff 'em in your trunk.
Go home, Jude.
Get some rest for sunday.
No.
Let me do this.
I'll nail it.
It's Under the mic.
They're gonna ask you about Shay.
What if it's not just him that I'm mad at? Jude? Somebody here to see you.
You left these at the house.
Do you remember what happened when I first taught you how to ride a bike? You were only four.
They other kids, they all had training wheels, but I swore you were ready.
You were so scared.
But promised you that I would not let you go but I did.
And, you fell.
You broke your wrist.
I kept that cast as a reminder of how easily I can hurt you.
Even when it's the last thing that I wanted to do.
Yeah.
I get it, dad.
But that time was an accident and this wasn't.
Sadie? Jude! You freaked me out! Sit.
I have to tell you something.
Dad's having an affair.
I know.
You can't tell mom, okay? What? How could you not tell her? I don't want to waste every other weekend that we have spending "quality time" with dad and Yvette.
Yvette? You know her name? This is messed up.
We're telling mom together, as soon as she gets home.
No, Jude! Think about it! She'll divorce him.
Is that what you really want? No.
What I want is for none of this to be happening, but it's happening, Sadie.
How can I lie about it? Trust me.
You get used to it.
Come here.
I'm just glad that I'm not the only one who knows anymore.
- Honey.
- Nothing like a couple of days with boring-as-toast strangers to make you miss your family.
Here, here.
Feel free to say you missed me too.
Yeah, of course we did.
Didn't we, girls? Ah, yeah.
Tons.
Yeah, wasn't the same without you.
Okay.
What's going on? You're all acting strange.
Sadie? Jude? Somebody better tell me right now.
Jude? Nothing.
I guess I'm just stressing over mental block.
I have to write this new song and I've got a lot of other things kinda clogging my mind.
Honey, maybe you're not ready to hear this, but if Shay was cheating on you, you're better off without him.
Okay.
Can I be excused? I'm feeling strangely inspired.
C'mon guys, eat.
Oh yeah! We're back under the mic with Jude Harrison, people! Wild year for you so far! But what's been the craziest thing? And did Shay make the list? Yeah, he was up there, briefly.
But like his music, he lacks staying power.
Scorch! Now let's get to the music.
Give it up for Jude Harrison and her killer single, Your eyes! I'm actually not gonna be doing that song.
'Cause I have a new one.
I drift away to a place another kind of life Take away the pain I create my paradise I'm pulling her out.
We never approved this.
Wait.
See what she's got.
Falling apart and all that I'm asking Is it a crime? Am I overreacting? Oh, he's under my skin Just give me something to get rid of him I've got a reason now to bury this alive Another little white lie Listen to her.
He really broke her heart, didn't he? Yeah.
I think he did.
So what you had didn't fit Among the pretty things Never fear, never fear Wow! Remind me not to tick her off.
You mean like, oh, I don't know, maybe having a secret love affair behind her back? No more lying, Kat.
We're the last people in the world who should be doing this to her.
Or is this my lesson? Oh, he's under my skin Just give me something to get rid of him I've got a reason now to bury this alive Another little white lie I don't believe I'll be all right I don't believe I'll be okay I don't believe how you've thrown me away I do believe you didn't try I do blame you for every lie When I look in your eyes, I don't see mine Oh, he's under my skin Just give me something to get rid of him I've got a reason now to bury this alive Another little white lie Oh, my permission to sin You might have started my reckoning I've got a reason now to bury him alive Another little white lie - She really pulled that off.
- Yeah.
Jude, nice job.
Really good.
That was an incredible song, Jude.
Not exactly how I meant to inspire you.
What do you want, Tommy? To apologize.
For real this time.
But hurting you is the last thing I ever wanted to do.
A lot of people have been saying that lately.
Get over yourself.
Not everything's about you.
Go away, Tommy.
Wow.
You really got that out of your system, huh? It's kinda hard to get it out.
I think it's gonna be stuck in me forever.
I'm not proud of what I've done, honey.
There's nothing that I regret more than involving you and your sister in this.
Us?! Dad, you have to talk to mom! Stop asking me to lie to her, dad! It's not fair.
She's my mom.
Okay.
You're right.
I know you are.
Okay.
No more lies, okay? I promise.
It's gonna be okay.
Where are you gonna go? I don't know.
A hotel for now, I guess.
I'll call you.
Dad.
Honey, honey.
I love you so much.
Both of you.
Don't you forget that, okay? I don't believe I'll be all right I don't believe I'll be okay I don't believe how you've thrown me away
