One Tree Hill s02e16 Episode Script

Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Previously on One Tree Hill: - I want to move in with Dan.
- Over my dead body.
What does Dan have over you? How did you convince her that you didn't have HCM? I used Keith's negative-results letter.
She left to be with Chris.
She kissed him before she left.
My investigator found something interesting about Dan.
Let's just go slow, okay? Okay.
You know there's a girl you have feelings for.
- Nathan - Look me in the eye.
Tell me I'm wrong.
You need to talk to her, Luke.
- I've decided to tell Keith the truth.
- Maybe you won't have to.
I think I'll just let this one go.
Keith doesn't ever have to know.
Kahlil Gibran once wrote: "Your reason and your passion are the rudder "and sails of your seafaring soul.
"If either be broken, you can but toss and drift "or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.
"For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining.
"And passion, unattended "is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
" Hey! Hey.
You're a little early and underdressed.
Yeah, well, you know, just making sure everything's okay.
- Anything I can help you with? - No.
You've done enough.
Everything is perfect.
I'm getting married today.
I didn't know rock stars were such early risers.
- We just finished rehearsing all night.
- Yeah.
Don't let me stop you from falling into bed with Chris.
It's not like that and you know it.
I don't know anything anymore.
I was just calling to tell you that we're gonna be on TV.
We're doing this live interview and I was hoping you'd watch.
That's why you called? Nathan, none of this means anything if I can't share it with you.
Keith's wedding's today.
- He's getting married? - Yeah.
It won't last.
What can I say to make things better? - Because I really want to, you know.
- You can't.
That's the part you have to live with.
That was a word.
- That was definitely a word.
- In what, Swahili? She said "dada.
" My baby's a genius.
Okay, major news! Brooke Davis is officially 24 hours away from being student-council president and rich again.
- What, you and Felix getting married, too? - Please.
My dad has his final job interview with this giganto company today.
They're taking him to play golf.
And while my dad may not be the brightest tool in the wherever-they-keep-tools, he can play golf - like freaking Michael Jordan.
- Okay.
Hello! Mrs.
Jaglieski.
You two are totally in bed together.
- Brooke - This is great.
I am gonna go and do almost-rich-girl things and you are going to call me later with the details.
- Dada.
- She's saying "dada!" Just leave the caviar.
I've acquired a taste for it.
You know, there's gonna be free food at Keith's wedding today.
No, thank you.
I'm not going to that.
- You really gonna do that to Keith? - Look who's talking.
I can't believe you're letting him go through with it.
He loves her and she loves him.
She just made a mistake.
You gonna crucify her for the rest of her life? Haley called this morning.
- That's great.
- Yeah.
To tell me she's gonna be on TV today.
You believe that? - That's still awesome for her.
- Yeah, whatever.
Look, Nate, I think you should come to the wedding.
A lot of people miss you.
Nathan.
I'm so glad you're here.
- Let me make you some eggs.
- I think you're out.
It's so good to see you.
Sorry.
Great day for a wedding.
- What do you want? - Brought you a present.
Something blue, right? - I'm not taking it.
- Come on.
It's your final payment.
- You said we were done.
- And we are.
I just wanted to say, "Welcome to the family.
" It's so easy for you, isn't it? Dan Scott, King of the World.
But someday somebody's gonna bring you down.
And I can't wait to watch.
Don't hold your breath, sweetheart.
- Did you talk to your investigator? - I did.
- Anything I can use to get Lucas back? - Yeah.
- Have you ever heard of Emily Chambers? - No, why? I think Dan's having an affair.
Emily Chambers.
I've never even heard of her.
But Dan sure has.
He's paying her rent and bills.
Personal check.
Why am I even surprised? Poor Deb.
Karen, I know you care for Deb, but Dan's not fighting fair here.
If we want to get Lucas back, we have to beat him at his own game.
My guy's working on a photo.
We should find Emily first.
- A little liquid courage for the groom? - Hello, Nathan.
It's not too late to stop him.
Tell him what kind of hell he's really in for.
Like someone should have done for me.
You're getting pretty good at the moody-broody bit, aren't you? - Trying to give Lucas a run for his money? - Whatever.
- Let's have it.
- What's that? The inspirational story.
Isn't this the part where you tell me everything's gonna be okay? I'm sorry.
The pity store's closed today.
Besides, I'm not sure you're worth it anymore.
- Great.
- Look, son.
You took a big risk and I admire you for that.
But it's easy to be happy when things are going well.
Marriage is about making it through staying together even when things turn to crap.
- Looks like I got my story anyway.
- Would you grow the hell up? You might not like Haley very much right now but she's still your wife.
Where I come from that still means something whether you like it or not.
There's your story.
By the way, his ID is fake.
Knock knock! Crazy girl, what are you doing to my heart? Good thing you don't have that genetic defect.
Yeah.
What are you doing here? I just came by to let you know that my safe-rides program D W Not I, is officially up and running.
So pass the word at the reception.
Drunken, bitter bridesmaids and Deb.
Yeah.
It's a shame I'm not gonna be there myself to let everyone know about the program.
- What? - I don't know.
Big, romantic ceremony followed by a big, fancy party.
I know.
And then there's the flowers and the dresses and the vows.
Not to mention my best-man speech.
Come on, you're killing me.
You know I'm a sucker for weddings.
Any chance you could use a date in a just-friends sort of way, to pal around with? - What about Felix? - Grounded.
His parents found out about the Bash for Brooke.
And, besides, we said we were gonna try to be friends.
Yeah, we did.
Please, Lucas.
I want to go so bad.
Okay.
It's a date.
Kind of, sort of, not really, okay.
Yeah, whatever.
I'm in, just pick me up early.
Hello, hottie! - This one wasn't my mom's.
- Yeah, well, neither was this one.
I kind of Anne Franked a couple things in the attic before the yard sale.
So, you're going to the wedding? With Lucas.
- Just as friends.
- Really? Come on, love triangles are so last season.
So, Felix is totally cool with it, right? I actually haven't told him yet.
- Brooke.
- I know.
I've never just been friends with a guy before, except Mouth - and that's different.
- Well, how's it going? Good! Felix is my boyfriend.
Lucas and I are just friends, I promise.
- But I love you for looking out for me.
- Okay.
On the subject of boys, how are things going with Jake? You know, still taking it slow.
- Slow is good.
Fast is better.
- Shut up.
- Lucas, hi.
- Hey.
- You better get dressed.
- Yeah, I know.
I know Nathan was kind of abrupt this morning.
I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
- I'm fine.
- Deb after my accident the doctors prescribed me some really powerful painkillers.
Except for they gave them to my mom because they knew how easy it would be for me or anyone, for that matter, to become addicted.
Have you been spying on me? - I was - You are a guest in my house, Lucas.
And as long as you're living under my roof I would appreciate you not snooping around in my life.
- Deb, I'm just trying to help.
- God, yeah, that's just what I need.
An adolescent boy to solve all my problems.
- Deb? - Get the hell out of here, Lucas.
You are way out of line.
And way out of your league.
So, you still think this looks weird? - And it feels pretty good, too.
- I love you.
God, that kind of came out, didn't it? No.
Not that I don't mean it 'cause I've been dying to say that for a while now.
It just never seems like the right time.
With Lucas being thrown into jail and me getting a private investigator, it's just I love you.
I love your mind.
I love your heart.
I love picturing our future together.
I hate the thought of you ever not being in my life.
- Andy - I don't want you to say anything.
You know, I just had to get that out.
I love you, too.
I was hoping you'd say that.
- Peyton! - I'm so sorry.
I'm not ready yet.
Just give me two seconds.
I'm being a total girl.
That's okay.
We've got time.
Wow! "Total girl" is right.
It's a good thing that we're taking it slow, right? Yeah, slow.
Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi.
You know you look amazing, right? Thanks.
- How you feeling? - Happy.
Yeah, me, too.
Man, we're gonna be late.
Weddings always start a little bit late anyway, right? - At least a half hour.
- Works for me.
It's beautiful.
- Thank you for bringing me, Lucas.
- You're welcome.
So, how are things with Felix? Good! Great.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
He helped me with my campaign and threw me a party.
So you guys are good? I don't know.
He's been so sweet.
Really, but, lately I just kind of find myself feeling independent, amazingly.
I don't know if I even want a boyfriend right now.
I guess we're both finding a new way for ourselves.
I guess so.
Okay, listen up.
You'll go out.
They'll ask you a couple questions.
Keep it positive.
You're thrilled to be on TV.
It's all about living the dream.
- Absolutely.
- Absolutely.
- Take off the wedding ring.
- What? It's a love song, Haley.
Look, you and Chris you sound like a couple, you look like a couple - let them think you're a couple.
- But we're not a couple.
- Details.
- Yeah, come on, Haley.
All right, look.
The girls should want to be you and the guys should want to be with you.
The wedding ring kind of gets in the way of it all.
For some people.
Okay, you guys can figure it out but, trust me, I'd lose the ring.
- I'm leaving right now! - Listen, I'm not I cannot believe you're asking me to do this.
Haley, this is our shot.
- Nothing else matters.
- Nathan matters.
Then what are you doing here? Listen, you made a decision.
Don't blink now.
All right, I'm Nick Zano and this is Totally Live Week.
That was Chariot.
The new one from Gavin DeGraw who's on tour right now with The Wreckers otherwise known as Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp.
Also on that tour are two newcomers whose single, When the Stars Go Blue, drops next Tuesday.
We're here live with Chris Keller and Haley James.
- Haley James-Scott.
- Uh-oh, three-name rule.
- Girls with three names are trouble.
- This one's no different.
Okay, now, you guys have great chemistry.
Obviously a great sound.
Now, tell the truth.
Are you a couple in real life? - Actually - You know, the music never lies.
Say no more.
You heard it here first.
All right, let's take another look at those tour dates and we'll be right back after this.
Same color as that shirt.
You know where you're sitting, right? - See you inside.
- Have fun.
- Could I get one of you two? - Absolutely.
- Well, my son cleans up good.
- Thank you.
- How are you, Deb? - Great.
- The place is beautiful.
- I think we're gonna head inside.
- Save a slow dance for me, Miss Davis.
- Okay.
You old perv.
- Sorry.
- It's okay, I get worse than that from drunk high-school boys every Saturday night.
It's worse when it's not drunken high-school boys, but it's your dad.
I've never heard you call him that before.
I'm trying it out.
See how it sounds.
And what do you think? Okay, it's freezing in here.
Yeah, that's probably by design.
Keith's kind of a sweater.
- Especially when he's nervous.
- Okay, things I never needed to know.
- Sorry.
Look, there you go.
- Thank you.
Look, I have to see Keith.
Start being the best man.
- You gonna be okay? - Well, can your ego handle it if I tell you I just needed someone to get me in the door? - Not really.
- Then, boy, I am gonna miss you.
Yeah.
Old habits die hard.
- It's just water, smart-ass.
- Yeah.
- It's just so damn hot in there.
- You're gonna be fine.
Yeah, I know.
But I'm still glad you're here, though.
Even if you are still living with the devil.
Hey, listen, I don't want to get mushy - I just want to say thanks.
- For what? Just for being you and for being my best man.
You really are, you know? And I'm real proud of the man you're turning out to be.
Who do you think I learned it from? - Just give me a second.
- Yeah, I'll be inside.
You look amazing.
Thanks.
So do you.
As always.
It's good to see you so happy.
Jules is great.
Yeah, she is.
It's like I finally found my place in the world and it was right here all along.
I'm glad.
Come here.
Also, I really appreciate you and Deb standing up for Jules, you know.
- She really doesn't have anybody else.
- Of course.
Thank you.
- And now I've got some vows to go make.
- Yes, you do.
- I'll see you up there.
- Okay.
- Is everything okay? - Yeah.
- I've got to pick something up real quick.
- Right now? Hey, I'll be right back.
Trust me.
I don't want to miss seeing you walk down that aisle.
Don't look at me.
- Have you been crying? - Just tearing up a little.
- I read your speech.
- Brooke.
Don't leave your journal where I can find that, either.
It was beautiful.
"Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always.
" That's Dante.
We read him last semester.
And I need to pay more attention in English.
Yeah.
The rest is me.
That part about taking chances and believing in the possibility even when life has given you every reason not to believe.
That's what so great about weddings.
How two people come together.
And even if it's just for one night, they make us believe again.
Stop, I don't have any more tissues.
Here.
I just hope at my wedding someone says something that nice about me.
I think you can count on that one.
Oh, my God! You guys totally did it.
- Brooke, we're in a church.
- So, if I can tell, so can he.
Black tie.
I haven't worn one of these things since Dick Nixon was in office.
- Look what happened to him.
- Well, I appreciate the effort.
I feel like a penguin.
Where are your folks? They're on safari, believe it or not.
My dad's off killing big animals or something.
What has happened to the world, for God's sake? Their son's getting married! Well, they offered to cancel but I knew Royal would just pout about it the whole time so I just told them to come on down next month and meet Jules.
So for right now, you're all I've got.
Lord help you, if that's true.
Maybe you'd like a little boost from Mr.
J.
D.
Actually, I think I'm gonna do this one sober.
True love! That's a good one.
Don't do it, Keith! Just get out while you can! It's all a lie! There's no such thing as forever.
What the hell are you doing? This is a church, for God's sake! Shut your hole, you freaking hypocrite.
I know what you did.
- Nathan, it's okay.
Let us help you.
- Do what? - Be happy again.
- Happy? You don't even know how to be happy, Mom.
Haley and I never stood a chance with you.
Is that what you think? - You hired Chris, too? - Don't make me knock you out, son.
Screw you, you sick son of a bitch.
Hey, come on now.
Hey! Don't do this to Keith.
Not here, all right? - Come on.
- Nate? What are you doing, man? She said she was with Chris, on national TV.
- I don't believe it.
- Neither did I.
- It's really over, huh? - Only if you say it is.
I'm hurting, Luke.
- It's gonna be okay.
- No, I mean I think I'm gonna puke.
- D W Not I, at your service.
- Okay.
Watch your head.
This is perfect.
And I don't mean what happened today just for D W Not I, it's so great that Nathan got smashed.
- Just make sure he gets inside, okay? - Thanks.
- Thank God you're back.
- We have a problem.
I know.
Nathan's a mess and we have to start.
- I found Emily Chambers.
- What? Emily Chambers is Jules.
- You all set? - Yeah, I've just got to get my veil.
Sure.
Let me help you with that, Emily.
Did Lucas tell you? He knows you're having an affair with Dan? - I'm not having an affair with Dan.
- Really? Then tell me why would Dan put you up in an apartment and pay all your bills and seemingly control every detail of your life unless Oh, my God.
It's Keith.
He's paying you to get back at Keith.
- He was.
- You're a whore.
No.
I was in trouble.
The wedding was never part of the plan.
It changed.
I told Dan I wanted out.
I fell in love with Keith for real.
How could you do that to Keith after everything that he has been through? You mean after everything you put him through? How dare you? How dare you? You didn't want him.
Now that he's actually found someone who loves him back you want to take that away from him, too? I want him to know who you really are.
The moment of truth.
He's happy, Karen.
Can't you just let him be happy? Was it awesome? Just give me a hint.
- Brooke.
- I know we're in a church.
So, blink once if it was good and twice if it was better than that.
My God, I love weddings! - You okay? - I don't know.
- What did she say? - It's not Dan.
- She loves Keith.
- And you believe her? I think I have to.
That's our cue.
Got to go.
Your mom looks beautiful.
I'm sorry.
She left.
- Give me your keys.
- Keith.
Just give me your keys.
Keith.
Keith.
You said you were done.
That you'd leave them alone.
I didn't do anything.
I promise you, Lucas I wouldn't jeopardize my relationship with you again.
You sick bastard.
I threatened to tell Keith.
I found out about your arrangement and I went to Jules.
And I threatened to tell the truth.
Nice work, Cupid.
This one's on you.
Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always.
A promise, like a reward for persisting through life so long alone.
Jules! A belief in each other and the possibility of love.
A decision to ignore simply rise above the pain of the past.
A covenant, which at once binds two souls and yet severs prior ties.
What have we done? Karen.
I'm sorry.
I need to see Keith.
The celebration of the chance taken and the challenge that lies ahead.
One down.
One to go.
For two will always be stronger than one.
Like a team braced against the tempests of the world.
- Can you say "dada"? - Hey, Jenny, who is that? Mama.
Nikki.
And love will always be the guiding force in our lives.
What are you doing here? Making sure you find the kind of happiness I can barely remember.
Go get Haley.
She's your wife.
For tonight is mere formality.
Only an announcement to the world of feelings long held promises made long ago in the sacred space of our hearts.
What, more bad news? My dad got that job.
- Brooke, that's great.
- It's in California.
We're moving next week.
I don't want to go.
What are we gonna do? English
