The Identical Page #7

Synopsis: In 1936, William and Helen Hemsley (Brian Geraghty, Amanda Crew) welcome identical twin boys into the world. But their joy is quickly tempered by a sobering realization; how could they give these children any kind of a life beyond the desperate poverty that haunted many families in the midst of the Great Depression? When evangelist Reece Wade (Ray Liotta) reveals that he and his wife Louise (Ashley Judd) cannot have children, William feels the Lord's prompting to give them one of the infant boys. Both brothers are born with passion, drive and awesome musical talent, but take very separate, yet converging paths. Drexel Hemsley (Blake Rayne) rises like a comet and changes the music world forever. His adopted brother, Ryan Wade (also played by Blake Rayne) struggles to find the purpose for his life. All the way into manhood he wrestles with pleasing Reverend Wade, his loving but controlling father, who is convinced his son Ryan is called into the ministry. Ryan is encouraged by his loving

Got to go.

I got a great, big love for you

I never been small,

I've always been tall

I got a great, big love for you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby

Come on now!

Give it to me

Oh, the hands are tied

Oh, I cannot see what's

right in front of me

Where in the world will I

be with my next step I take

Time, it keeps playing

its tricks on me

As I move along, feel me get closer

'Cause I know this there's

something about ya

I can take a trip to see

all there is to see

I can be in jail then set free

Getting trashed by a queen,

laid out at her feet

But in the end,

there's something about ya

I'm sorry, baby.

I just thought it was some

kind of answer to prayer.

We'll figure something out.

Okay?

Willie, I'll pray too.

William Hemsley's health

deteriorated after Helen died.

Now with the passing of Drexel

he was a frail and broken

man well beyond his years.

I'm sorry, sir.

We're closing.

He had a brother.

Dexter Ryan?

He only made it one day.

Where is he buried?

Out back, up the hill.

Thank you, ma'am.

Ryan knew the car instantly

that was parked by the

private Hemsley cemetery

and there's only one person

that would possibly take that limo

to visit those graves on this day.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Nobody really know'd him.

All the papers talk about

his mistakes, his weaknesses.

Hell, like we ain't all got them.

Most people don't know this.

He was born with an identical twin.

It was...

it was a hard day.

It was a hard day.

My boy.

My perfect boy.

My sweet boy.

Forgive me.

You're already forgiven.

You know that.

No. No, I ain't forgiven.

I ain't forgiven.

I ain't forgiven.

Mr. Hemsley...

I know it was a hard day.

See...

I was there.

It's me, Daddy.

Dexter Ryan Hemsley.

My son.

My son.

My son.

Angel of my life

You're all I need

You came into my life

When I was alone

Made me believe, I was alone

Made me believe

You, working on the car?

Oh, praise Jesus.

It's supposed to be good for me.

It's supposed to keep my...

to keep my mind active,

but... I think it's just a

complete waste of time.

I mean, you know me with this...

I'll do it, Daddy.

I always told you I'd

wrestle you to the ground

before I let you ride

one of them things.

You're too big for that now.

I wanted to tell you

so many times, Ryan... I...

I know, Daddy.

I just...

I know.

There's something I've got to tell you.

Okay.

Thank you.

And I mean thank you...

for everything.

And I mean everything, Daddy.

Ryan.

Oh...

You are my son.

And you are more

than I ever dared pray for.

I want you to follow your dream,

your calling, not mine.

Because you blessed me boy.

You blessed me, Ryan.

And I'm sorry, son.

I'm sorry, son.

Ryan never let on

to anyone but his family

who he really was and

came to walk the path

of singing both his and

his brother's songs.

City lights keep on shining

Reminds me of the love we knew

City lights keep on shining

I see your smilin' eyes a'blue

City lights keep on shining

Reminds me of the love we knew

City lights keep on shining

I see your smilin' eyes a'blue

Country boy, city girl

We were like night and day

I took her to the country

But she just wouldn't stay

City lights keep on shining

She was a dancer

on the stage of life

City lights keep on shining

All I wanted was a wife

Shining, shining

Shining on you and me

Shining, shining

Shining like it used to be

I guess it's true.

If He is in our dreams,

no one can stand against them.

It don't come easy

You know it don't come easy

It don't come easy

You know it don't come easy

Got to pay your dues

if you wanna sing the blues

You know it don't come easy

You don't have to shout

or leap about

You can even play them easy

Forget about the past

and all your sorrows

The future won't last

It will soon be over tomorrow

It don't come easy

You know it don't come easy

It don't come easy

You know it don't come easy

I don't ask for much

I only want trust

And you know it don't come easy

And this love of mine

keeps growing all the time

And you know it just ain't easy

Open up your heart,

let's come together

Use a little love

And we will make it work out better

Ooh, easy

Yeah

Ooh

It don't come easy

You know it don't come easy

Ooh It don't come easy

You know it don't come easy

It don't come easy

You know it don't come easy

Peace, remember peace

Is how we make it

Here within your reach

If you're big enough to take it

It don't come easy

You know it don't come easy

I wanted to let you know

What you mean to me

So I wrote a little song

What I'm trying

to say to you, darling

Is that I miss you

Now that you are gone

I know I let love slip away

It's like trying to hold onto

a runaway train

Seems like I've been walking

down lonely road

Like a blind man,

I can't find my way back home

Everybody knows it

Everybody wants it

Everybody needs to know

they have somebody to love

Everybody feels it

Everybody sees it

Everybody needs to know

they have somebody to love

The clock upon the wall

Reads 2:
00 am

And I'm still hoping

that you'll call

The minutes turn to hours

And hours in to days

Oh!

Slow down, I'm gonna ride that pony

And put the music back in our song

I want you to know I'm feeling...

Now we can...

Ooh

Everybody knows it

Everybody wants it

Everybody needs to know

they have somebody to love

Everybody feels it

Everybody sees it

Everybody needs to know

they have somebody to love

Everybody knows it

Everybody wants it

Everybody needs to know...
