One Tree Hill s04e06 Episode Script

Previously on One Tree Hill.
I guess I was wrong.
I'm not the guy for you, Brooke Davis.
I traded the car for the bike, and I made 200 bucks.
Your mom wants you back on the team.
You have to stay on your medication, and we limit you to 15 minutes a night.
A full scholarship.
Tell Coach K I won't let him down.
- Haley, I'm going to Duke.
- I'm pregnant.
You're gonna be okay.
I think my dead uncle saved my life.
I killed my brother.
He's a part-time model.
You are a 23-year-old fashion designer named Peyton.
Very funny.
- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Peyton.
Look, I just have a really bad feeling about this guy.
Leave me alone! Oh, God! Don't you know we're supposed to be together? - Who the hell are you? - I'm her brother, bitch.
Life comes at us from out of the darkness.
Peyton.
Peyton.
And at times, we can struggle to find the courage to face it.
Thanks for almost braining me with the keys.
Wow It's bright.
Yeah, well, Psycho Derek's still out there.
I really haven't been able to sleep for 48 hours.
I thought maybe I'd try to paint the shadows away.
Can you talk to your mom? Maybe she can help.
Come on, Hales.
You've seen my mom.
She can't even help herself right now.
I hate to say it, but what about your dad? Look, Hales, I know that we're in trouble financially right now, but I'm gonna take care of it, I promise.
As soon as the basketball season ends, I'm gonna get a job, but I'm not gonna go to my dad for anything.
Okay, I'm sorry.
It's just We're gonna have a family soon, and I guess I just need that guy from the press conference to tell me everything's gonna be okay again.
It will.
Oh, and I know that we're gonna eventually need to get a car, so I figured until then, you can ride with me.
I know you don't expect me to wear this.
Come on, it's so Garden State.
Besides, you were the one that needed a helmet to ride a motorcycle Hey! Hey! - Hey.
- Hey, girlie.
You are a full-on genius.
I don't know why you even doubt me.
- Just bow down to the master.
- Oh, bowing.
I am so crushed out on model boy, or should I say model man? You like? Real, cultured, Tiffany's, courtesy of Nick.
So, I'm thinking you might be over Lucas right about now.
Well, let's see, the last thing Lucas gave me was a mix tape.
Mix tape, earrings.
Mix tape, earrings.
I totally owe you one.
Come on, take your seats.
I'm your new English teacher, Mr.
Chavez.
Nick? Peyton? Here.
I have to go to the nurse.
I'm gonna be sick.
This is all your fault.
Well? You skanked me into this.
How about you help me out? Hey, I am not the one that ditched my boyfriend to have my horns trimmed by our high school English teacher.
Although, I am kind of jealous.
Thank you.
That is very constructive.
What am I supposed to do about it now, genius? I have to see him every day until I graduate.
This is so embarrassing.
Look, he's probably just as embarrassed about the situation as you are.
Okay, maybe not that embarrassed.
But bottom line, Brooke, you have to deal with him.
Deal with him? Deal with him how? Car crash, drowning? What do you suggest? Brooke, why don't you just wait till school is over, and that way you can talk to him alone? - I mean, you can't skip school forever.
- Oh, really? Says who? What do I need stupid English for anyhow? Okay.
Would you do me a favor and check the hallway to make sure the coast is clear? Actually, you might wanna wait a second.
Are we expecting an outbreak of stalkerazzi photographers, or are you just ashamed to be seen with me? No.
Everybody knows.
I guess bad news travels fast.
Are you gonna be okay? Every time I close my eyes, I see him there, watching me, and now I've got to come to school and deal with all of them watching me? - Did you try calling your dad? - No! Look, I know he would come home the minute I called.
But what's the point, okay? It's over.
And there's probably, like, 100 police officers out there looking for Psycho Derek, so what's my dad gonna do? Protect you.
- I can take care of myself.
- Hey, I know that.
But it's okay to be afraid from time to time.
Really? What are you afraid of? This morning I asked Whitey if I could play again.
That's great, Luke.
Yeah, but with my heart condition, it still doesn't change the fact that it's scary.
- Well, then why are you playing? - 'Cause it's who I am.
And you need to be who you are.
Awkward.
I'm out of here.
Wait.
Peyton, if you let this change you, he wins.
Maybe he wins.
- Gigi.
- Mouth, I was just thinking about you.
Good, you know, now that we made the playoffs, we got to step up our game for the webcast.
I'm gonna ask you out.
Did you just ask me out, like on a date? No, not yet, but I'm going to.
Just wanted to let you know.
What do we got here? The Ravens' star forward riding a bus.
Someone wants to talk to you.
You know me? I know you.
Nathan Scott, Tree Hill's best power forward in 15 years.
You average 28 points a game.
You just recorded your 14th triple-double this year.
That, plus a wicked jump shot puts your old man to shame.
- How am I doing so far? - Pretty good.
Daunte Jones.
Hey.
- How come you're not signing with Duke? - I never said I wasn't.
Good answer.
The more important question is, are we gonna win State? You can bet on it.
I just might.
- Want a ride? - No, I'm good.
Thanks.
All right, suit yourself.
Let me give you some advice.
Win State and go to Duke.
This town's been waiting a long time for a State title.
Too long.
Take care of that knee.
If you're not gonna coach, at least you could mentor the kid a little.
It's a full ride to Duke.
It's something he's been working for all his life.
I made that mistake with you.
I'm not gonna make it with Nathan.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a State Championship to win.
What do you know about the art on my office wall? "And he said, 'What hast thou done? "'The voice of thy brother's blood cries unto me from the ground.
"' Cain and Abel, Danny.
I know my Bible.
Question is, what's it doing on your wall? Probably a prank.
It seems someone thinks I mistreated Keith while he was alive.
We all have to atone for our sins.
What's that supposed to mean? It means judgment day's waiting for us all.
It's a good thing you pray, Whitey.
What are you doing? Just praying that he won't kill me.
How does he look? Does he look mad? Yes, but in a hot way.
- Maybe I should talk to him for you.
- Would you? Thanks.
Not so fast.
All right, look.
I sort of have a lot of experience in this.
He's gonna say you should have never lied to him and that it can't work 'cause of the age difference.
Then he's gonna say there's no way you two can be together because he's your teacher, and then he's gonna yell a lot.
But then it'll be over.
Just remember, if he gets really mad, start crying.
Works every time.
See you in the quad.
Good luck.
Hi.
Brooke Davis, 18, high school student.
Okay, I know.
I'm sorry.
I should have told you the truth about how old I am and who I am, but we met and we went out, and I liked you.
I just didn't know - You shouldn't have lied.
- I know.
We really can't do this, right? Right.
- You said you were 23.
- You said you were a model.
Part-time, but full-time, I'm your teacher, so we really can't do this.
Absolutely not.
But if we were to do this, we'd have to make sure that no one knows.
No one.
Not a soul, if we were to do this.
- I won't tell if you won't.
- Done.
Look who all up in my house, dog.
Oh, my God, you have one decent game and all of a sudden it's your house, huh? I heard a rumor you might be coming off the bench in the playoffs.
Yeah, is that true, Luke? It's true, my friends.
I'm back.
Okay.
Me and my boy, back together again.
Forty minutes a night in the big time.
Actually, Whitey's only giving me you know, due to my heart condition.
So, I guess you'll be wanting this back, huh? It's a starter's jersey.
You keep it.
- You sure? - Yeah, I'm sure.
Cool.
All right, look, game to 21.
Make it, take it.
Or in your case, Mr.
15-minute-man, we gonna make the game 11.
All right.
Pick it up.
Mouth, what are you doing? - Gigi wants to go out with me.
- Gigi's cute.
Well, I don't really think about her in that way.
I mean, I really don't even know her, but I don't want to hurt her feelings.
What should I do? Oh, I'm not the relationship expert these days, trust me.
But you're smart, Mouth.
You'll figure it out.
Whatever you do, just be nice.
So? You were right.
It was really intense.
So it's over? Yeah, it's over.
It's over the limit? Are you sure? Can you just check again? Yeah.
Okay.
No, yeah.
Thanks.
Everything okay? I tried to use our credit card this morning, and it was denied.
And now the card company's telling me we're over our limit.
Have you talked about this with Nathan? Well, sort of, but he just says everything's gonna be okay.
Karen, if we can't make ends meet now, what are we gonna do when the baby comes? Okay, all right, let's not panic.
You know, if it's more hours of work you need, I can help you out with that.
You know, mornings before school and nights, whenever.
Okay.
If you need a shoulder to lean on or someone to talk to, I can help you with that, too.
After all, I am the expert on teenage pregnancy.
Pretty dark, don't you think? I love you, Luke, but I've chosen darkness.
Well, I just wanted to come check up on you, girlie.
How's your head? Is it me? Am I the reason people always leave? Am I the reason all these things keep happening to me? Maybe I'm just destined to be alone.
It's not you and you're not alone.
But eventually you're gonna have to be.
- No, you're right.
I can do it.
- All right.
But just in case, you have a key to my place, and I'm just a phone call away.
Thanks.
Where are you going? I just need to get a workout in, so I'm going for a run.
You're gonna have to run a marathon to take care of that ass.
- Hey.
- Hi.
I'm I'm sorry.
I tried.
Have you talked to your brother? He won't call me back.
He's like a Marine or something.
Can I stay? Sure.
Good thing the dealer was an old friend.
Seems he was unaware that our star forward had a pregnant wife.
Yeah, when he heard about your situation, he was happy to take the bike back in trade.
Thanks, but I can't accept this from you, NCAA rules.
Nathan, it's your car.
There's no money changing hands here.
Just consider this the Tree Hill alumni lending a helping hand.
Is that what you guys are calling yourselves these days, alumni? Why'd you go ruin a perfectly good gesture by making me feel bad? Just take the car.
What am I gonna do with that piece of crap? You know, Nate, us Ravens got to stick together.
Daunte, thanks.
Left, left, right! Squad, halt! Left face! - Strauss, continue the run, please! - Yes, Corporal! - I tried to call you.
- I know.
Look, it's Peyton.
She's not doing well.
- And remind me why this is my concern.
- She's your sister.
I don't even know her, and to be honest, if the introduction was any indication of what her side of the family might be like, I'll pass.
Look, with Larry gone, you're the only family she's got.
Look around you, Scott.
We deal with some pretty serious situations here, life-threatening type situations, so you'll have to excuse me if I don't have time for your high school drama.
Come on, man.
She needs your help.
I need your help.
When I started my first tour overseas, I made it a point to get to know all the guys in my unit because they also needed help.
But it's a war and people die.
So, after a while, I learned to stop getting to know the new guys.
It was just easier that way.
I'm sorry you made the trip, but I can't help you.
You'll travel halfway around the world to fight for a complete stranger, but you don't have it in your heart to fight for your own flesh and blood.
Hey, sorry.
Haley, you're late.
And where is Peyton? I know, I'm sorry.
I had to close up the café.
Peyton didn't even come to school today.
I think cheering's out of the question.
Oh, well, she lets one little stalker into her life and we all get screwed, that's nice.
Look, some of us actually have real problems.
Fine.
How is she doing? Honestly, I don't think she's doing that well, and it would kind of be nice if you knew that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't you guys used to be, like, best friends? - I mean, when are you gonna end this? - Don't ask me, okay? I'm not the bitch who started it.
Okay, well, while we're dealing with all things Brooke, somebody left a message for you at the apartment about styling a fashion show or something.
What? - Well, why didn't they just call me? - I don't know.
Maybe because you move from house to house like a little nomadic camel.
- I saved the message.
- Thank you.
Oh, Haley, just don't tell Peyton I asked about her, okay? Okay.
- You wanted to see me, Coach? - Yeah, come on in, son.
- This is Keith's number.
- I'm pretty sure he'd want you to have it.
- Taking your medications? - Yes, sir.
Good.
You know, it took every ounce of strength your mother has to come in here and ask me to take you back.
She loves you that much, enough to put your dreams ahead of her fears.
You got 15 minutes of game to make her proud and a lifetime to make them both proud.
All right, fans, the postseason is under way.
If the Ravens can win the next five games, they'll be State Champions.
But lose one and the season is over.
Nathan Scott with authority.
The triple threat of Antwon "Skills" Taylor and Scott brothers, Nathan and Lucas, are unstoppable.
Ravens by 10.
Lucas Scott has become the Ravens' secret weapon off the bench.
They swing it over to Skills Taylor.
Skills with the sweet River Court move, and he lays it in for two.
Smell like burnt white toast, baby.
Ravens, 84.
Bear Creek, 62.
The Ravens win and advance.
Bear Creek's season is over.
Folks, the Ravens look like the dominant force in these playoffs as the Scott brothers are on a roll.
Luke works the ball to Skills.
Skills with the alley-oop to Nathan, and Nathan drives it home.
Long range from Lucas Scott.
Ravens are up by 15 now, and that is the magic number as Coach Durham calls it a night for number 22.
That also looks like the end of the road for the Cove City Cougars as the Ravens coast to an easy win.
Gigi? Dinner or a movie, when I ask you out? And the Ravens advance to the State quarterfinals.
Skills Taylor brings the ball up court.
He finds Nathan Scott with the no-look pass! Nathan lays it in, and the Ravens have a huge lead.
Whitey Durham can feel it.
This one's over.
Don't look now, folks, but if Tree Hill can win one more game, they'll be playing for the State Championship.
The fans are on their feet, and they should be.
I'll tell you what, this could be the best Ravens team we've ever seen.
- Yes! - Yes! One more game and we're in the State Championship.
Not so fast, Hales.
I mean, we still got Verona, and they're pretty tough.
Oh, yeah, but between you, Lucas and Skills, nothing can stop us now.
Oh, maybe I spoke too soon.
Nathan, it's just our lights.
What's going on? - Guess that was our third notice.
- Oh, God, Nathan.
As much as I hate to say this, I really think it's time you talk to your dad.
I hope you're here to tell me you're signing with Duke.
I'm not here to talk about basketball.
I'm having money problems, Dad.
It's serious, and I need your help.
You know, Nathan, it broke my heart when you emancipated yourself and turned away from me as a father.
God knows I've tried to be there for you.
But you're married, and you're a man now.
My solemn wish for you is that you find your way, but you're gonna have to do that on your own: So you're saying you're not gonna help me, not at all.
No, what I'm saying is, whenever I invest money, I look at the potential for return on that money.
Right now, you're not an investment I'm interested in.
- But I'm your son.
- Really? I thought you were emancipated.
Thanks for nothing, Dad.
Haley.
I don't know if I can have this baby, Karen.
What do you mean? They shut the power off last night, and I'm the only one of us with a job.
And I'm pregnant, and I'm in high school.
And Nathan is this close to getting his basketball scholarship, which he can't do that and have time for a job.
And I really have no idea how this is gonna work out, Karen.
Haley, when I was your age and I was pregnant with Lucas, I didn't have two pennies to rub together.
I didn't have any friends.
I didn't have college.
Matter of fact, I didn't even have a family.
That doesn't really make me feel better, Karen.
Look at you.
You have a great support system in friends and family.
You have a future ahead of you in college, but most of all, you have Nathan.
Sure, it's not gonna be easy, but you got to have faith.
Trust me.
You can do this.
You can do this.
So, let me get this straight.
You and Peyton just friends, right? I wish I had friends like that.
Derek, hey.
Skills, this is Peyton's brother, Derek.
Damn, who would have guessed Peyton's brother was a brother? - Lance Corporal Sommers.
- Big Daddy Skills.
- I wanted to talk to you about - Luke Peyton.
I'll leave you to it.
Thank you.
I tried calling you.
I wasn't sure I wanted to see you.
Like the first time I called you and you hung up on me.
A simple "thank you" would suffice.
I was the victim, okay? It wasn't my fault.
Well, there's your first problem, right there, thinking like a victim.
Don't.
Don't judge me, 'cause you don't know the first thing about me.
You're right.
Let's change that.
Take a ride with me.
Give me one good reason why I should.
Because right now I'm the only family you got.
And if you don't mind me criticizing your personal appearance, one of these days, you're gonna have to sleep.
- You're not really what I expected.
- How do you mean? Well, I don't know.
I just expected someone - I thought you'd be more like - More white.
No.
That's not what I meant.
Maybe it's the Marine part.
My mother's African-American.
And as far as the Marines go, this place saved my life.
When I was just a little younger than you, my dad, our dad, he left me and my mom.
Well, figures.
Psycho boy was right about one thing, got a deadbeat dad.
It was tough.
She worked two jobs and that left me pretty much on my own.
I started getting into trouble.
Nothing horrible, but nothing I'm proud of, either.
What I didn't know at the time was that, mostly, I was just scared.
This place showed me how to not be scared.
Fear is like a disease, Sawyer.
If you don't treat it, it'll eat you up.
All right, but guess what? The last Derek I trusted tried to kill me.
I didn't say it would be easy.
Do you think this is easy for me? - I didn't ask for anyone new in my life.
- Well, then why are you helping me? 'Cause your friend, Lucas, cared enough to convince me.
And looking at you, I see that fear.
But I also see strength.
Come on.
Just hold it up, okay? - Remind me why I'm doing this again.
- Because it's one of my dresses for TART.
- "TART"? - Textile Art Road Tour.
It's a touring fashion show to showcase new designers, and a designer dropped out, and now I'm in, but I'm running out of time, so chop-chop.
And what do I get in return? Well, you're helping me with my work, so I could help with yours.
I could grade your important papers, give Peyton an F.
I was thinking something a little more physical.
- Is that all this is about for you, sex? - Of course not.
What is it, then? I mean, nobody knows we're together, and all we do is sneak around.
Not that there's anything wrong with sneaking around, but what's it about if it's not just sex? I know it's not fair to you, Brooke.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe we should stop this.
- You could do that? - I don't wanna hurt you.
Care to revise that answer? How about this? In three months, you'll be done with school, and then it doesn't matter what anyone thinks.
Then the world can know, and it'll be just about us, you and me.
Yeah, that's a good answer.
You get an A.
Now hold this.
Looks like we're a little early for Smackdown! We have a boxing team on base.
Well, you better watch out for my right hook.
You think so? Hey, thanks.
Okay.
Let's see it.
Right.
I'm serious.
Hit me.
Forget it.
This is weird.
The first step in learning how not to be scared is knowing how to defend yourself.
Come on, hit me.
I'm not gonna hit you, okay? Derek.
Stop! Is that all you got? Punch me like you mean it, Sawyer.
- You hit like a girl.
- I am a girl.
A weak, scared, defenseless little girl.
Okay, Sawyer.
So there's actually a real person in there.
Again.
Hands up! Yeah.
Yeah.
You scared, huh? You gonna act like a little baby and cry and stay in the house all the time? - No.
- Yeah? Shut up.
Picture him, Peyton.
Picture everything that hurt you and fight back.
Yeah! Fight back! Yeah! Yeah! Fight back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah! Fight back! Fight back! Yeah.
Yeah.
Fight back.
Fight back.
Yeah! Fight back! Shut up! Hey.
Okay, this Gigi thing is at DEFCON-5.
- You got to help me, Brooke.
- Okay.
The Blow-Off 101, let's review.
One, you can't date her right now, but it's not her, it's you.
Two, you're so messed up right now, she'd be miserable dating you.
Three, there are way better guys she could have in her life.
And four Are you ready for this? Dating would ruin your really special friendship.
But listen, Mouth, if she gets bummed when you tell her you want to be good friends, then tell her you wanna be great friends, okay? Mouth? Are you listening? It's okay.
I've already heard this speech.
Hey, Mouth.
Gigi, I know you want to ask me out, but I don't want you to because I wanna ask you out.
I'll have to think about it and get back to you.
Okay, I've thought about it, and I'd love to go out with you, Mouth.
When life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness, who will you choose to face it with? Will it be someone you trust? What are we gonna do, Nathan, if we I took care of it.
I know that must've been really difficult for you to talk to your father.
Thank you for doing that for me.
Thank you for doing that for us.
Will they be wise? - Oh, what's that for? - 'Cause you were right.
I have a great future and I have great friends.
And I have the best husband.
You know what I'm really thankful for? I have you.
- How's our star player doing? - Good.
And thanks, man.
I know that was a lot of money, but I'm gonna pay you back every cent.
Take your time.
Just don't disappoint me out there, Nate.
And will their love for you help them to guide you to the light? Or will they lose their way in the darkness? Will they make noble choices? Or will that person be someone untested, someone new? So you're leaving.
I know we're related, Peyton, and maybe in another life we'd be closer, but I'm a Marine, and you've got your own life.
I can't be that guy for you.
Why not? I guess what I'm saying is I I don't wanna be that guy.
I'm sorry.
You can take a pass on tonight.
She's gonna be fine.
- You sure? - No, but if you keep babying her, you'll never find out.
Look, you know, you should really get to know her.
She needs someone special in her life, you know.
She's already got someone special in her life.
She has you.
Thanks, Scott.
So what, you're just gonna leave her? I didn't say that.
I've got some experience with late-night guard duty, but she doesn't need to know that.
She needs to know that she can do it alone.
Life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness.
When it does, is there someone in your life you can count on? Come on, Peyton, you can do this.
Someone who will watch over you when you stumble and fall, and in that moment, give you the strength to face your fears alone? English
