One Tree Hill s04e18 Episode Script

Previously on One Tree Hill.
You saved me.
You saved me, too.
I borrowed some money from these guys, so they asked me to shave a few points in the last game.
- Everyone get away from the door.
- Oh, Jimmy, what did you do? Go.
What are you doing here, Lucas? I don't think Jimmy killed Keith.
Keith's dead, okay? He's not coming back.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes, Luke.
Open your eyes.
Hey, Skills? You know this girl? Yeah.
That's Abby.
She was in the tutor center.
Jimmy let her go.
Sometimes I wonder if anything is absolute anymore.
Is there still right and wrong? Good and bad? Truth and lies? Or is everything negotiable? Left to interpretation? Gray? - Who is it? - My name's Lucas Scott.
I was wondering if I may talk to Abby.
There's no Abby here.
You have the wrong address.
Well, no, no, no, I was just Thanks for nothing.
Sometimes we're forced to bend the truth, transform it, because we're faced with things that are not of our own making.
And sometimes things simply catch up to us.
Coach Durham, can you address the allegations of point shaving and illegal activity within the Ravens? Look, I'm gonna say this one time and one time only.
This is the best group of boys I've had in 35 years of coaching.
These are not cheaters.
They're champions.
Every one of them.
There's only three things I'm afraid of losing in this world, Haley.
You, our son and the game.
How bad will it get if they find out about you and Daunte? They'll take my scholarship for sure.
And I probably won't play anywhere, ever.
Hey! - Sorry.
- It's fine.
Hey, Brooke, I heard about that stalker thing.
I tried calling you, but I never heard back.
Yeah, it's Where's your Clean Teen T-shirt? Things change, you know? Yeah, I know.
I'll see you later.
- Hey.
Do I have any blood on me? - No, why? Because I just saw Chase and it feels like I got my heart ripped out.
I think you'll be okay.
- Do I look insane? - No, why? I saw him again.
This time in the shower.
Peyton, you gotta stop doing this to yourself, okay? Fake Psycho Derek, whatever the hell his name is, he's locked up.
You know that.
Yeah, that's what they said last time, or what he said.
I don't know, maybe if I just see it with my own eyes that he's actually behind bars, I Maybe.
Come on.
Hey.
You know what? I'm gonna have to catch up with you, okay? Okay.
Hi, baby.
I knew you'd come.
Well, they said that you wouldn't, but I knew that you would.
I wanna know why.
Why me? Why did you pick me? You love me.
No, I don't.
I hate you.
Don't you get that? You are just a deranged, pathetic psycho and I never, ever wanna see you again.
Okay? Then why'd you come? Have I been in your head? You asked me to come into your life, Peyton.
You got undressed - in front of your webcam - What? because you knew it would make me want you.
You posted those pictures online.
- You are wrong.
- Am I? Is that why you're dressed like that today? Are you a tease, Peyton? Dressing sexy? Wearing that perfume, making me ache for you and then saying no? Stop.
Are you a tease, Peyton? Because that would really be disappointing.
- I did not do this.
You did this.
- No! You did this! - You did this to me, Peyton! - Open the gate, please.
It's all your fault! You did this to me! You did this! Tease! I thought you'd look a lot worse, considering the walls are closing in.
- What do you mean? - The point shaving, Dad.
Right.
- What are you hearing? - Nothing.
You think it's Bear? No.
No.
If it was Bear, he'd have pointed them right to us.
Sounds like the whispers of someone who lost a lot of money but isn't close enough to know the details.
Well, they're asking questions about Lucas now, and it's not right.
He only missed those free throws because of me.
Okay, but that's the only time I ever wanna hear you say that out loud.
Look, first you won the State Championship and every postseason game that Lucas played in.
So they're grasping at straws.
- You don't think it's serious? - No, it's serious.
Because if they find proof, your future's in jeopardy.
But I don't think they're gonna find any proof.
So what do I do? You stay cool, deny everything and pray no one uncovers the truth.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you.
I didn't mean to scare you.
My name's Lucas Scott.
We go to school together at Tree Hill.
Do you know me? My uncle was Keith Scott.
And I know that you were in the tutor center that day, and I know that Jimmy let you go.
So Listen.
I have to know what you saw, Abby.
Okay? You gotta tell me.
Did Jimmy Edwards kill Keith? What is this? - What the hell is this? - Look, Mrs.
Brown, I can explain.
Get out.
Get the hell out of my house or I'll call the police.
And tell them what? That your daughter knows the truth about my uncle's death? Your uncle was Keith Scott? I'm very sorry for you, but my daughter has been traumatized since then.
She hasn't been to school.
Her life has become very difficult.
And that is why I lied to you last night.
Listen, Abby told me that Jimmy Edwards didn't kill my Uncle Keith.
Did she? Honey, is your name Abby? Am I your mother? Are you sure? Now, I'm very sorry for your loss.
That day changed all of us, and none of us for the better.
But I'd like you to leave.
And, Lucas, don't come back.
Abby has been through enough.
Hey.
Hey.
- Jeez, you look worse than I do.
- Yeah.
Listen, the thing is that Nathan said this whole gambling thing's just gonna go away, and I don't really know how much I believe that.
And I just wanted to know what you thought, if you think that he's right or Do you think he's right? No.
It's not going away.
'Cause he said that, you know, they're just focusing on you and then they're not gonna find anything and nothing's gonna happen.
Yeah, but, see, that's the problem.
You know, yeah, I mean, I missed a couple free throws.
But I'm a sub.
I played half a season, 15 minutes a night.
No gambler's gonna build a point shaving scheme around a reserve.
Okay, so what is gonna happen, then? Well, I think that, after they're done looking at me, that they're gonna start taking a look at Nathan.
And I hate to say it, Hales, but when they do, it's gonna end up really bad.
Okay.
Okay.
How bad is really bad? Well, Nathan's not gonna go to jail.
But he's not gonna go to Duke, either.
It's all your fault! Tease.
Peyton? Hey, what's wrong? - I went to see him.
- Who? Oh, no.
Derek? Lan.
His name is Ian.
- I know.
- You do? I've been hiding these from you.
There's been a lot of articles about the attack.
- I thought you were clipping coupons.
- I know, honey, but I hate coupons.
Come on.
- Did you leave the front door unlocked? - No.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I have a key.
I didn't know if you were sleeping.
Sorry.
It's okay.
You locked the door, right? - Yes, I did.
- Okay.
I used to love my room.
And he took it from me.
Psycho Derek.
It's like I really thought if we just fought back, like, if we attacked our attacker, that he would go away.
But he hasn't.
It's really gonna take some time, Peyton.
You guys went through something really traumatic.
Yeah, but what if you have finals and you can't sleep and you don't have time? Well, then hopefully you have a friend who's gonna tell you that life kicks you around sometimes.
It scares you and it beats you up, but there's a day when you realize that you're not just a survivor, you're a warrior.
You're tougher than anything it throws your way.
And you are, Peyton.
You are.
And so are you, Hales.
Thank you.
And so are you, Brooke.
Well, thanks.
Come here.
I was hoping for a booty call.
Sorry, Coach.
What's so important it can't wait till a decent hour? It's the investigation.
It was me.
I missed those free throws in the semifinals on purpose, and I just wanted you to hear it from me before I held a press conference tomorrow.
I'm sorry, Coach.
You know, I only took a chance on you because Keith asked me to.
- I know, and - He would be ashamed of you right now.
Just like I am.
- Keeping in shape? - Yes, sir.
Now, Duke's gonna be pretty rough, especially if you're not in shape.
Yes, sir.
So, there's some reporters asking questions about gambling.
Point shaving, that kind of thing.
- You know anything about that? - No, sir.
Well, your brother's name's not gonna be worth a damn when this whole thing comes down.
What do you mean? Lucas didn't do anything wrong.
- Not what he says.
- What? What the hell is wrong with you? You're welcome.
Screw that, Luke.
We said we weren't gonna say anything.
- We agreed.
- So what? So what did you do? I went and saved your stupid ass so you can play college basketball and have everything you've ever dreamed about.
Well, you know what? That's a bunch of crap.
We could have beat this thing, man.
It sounds like you're feeling a little guilty to me.
Yeah, of course I'm feeling guilty.
But you shouldn't have said anything to Whitey, man.
- That was a stupid thing to do.
- You know what? I don't care.
I'm not going to college to play basketball anyway.
- It doesn't matter.
- It doesn't matter that, for the rest of time, people are gonna talk? They're gonna say you disgraced the game, Luke.
That doesn't matter to you? Let them say what they wanna say about me.
It's what they say about Jimmy Edwards that matters to me and what they say about Keith.
But this? At least I know the truth about this.
Peyton thinks I'm a martyr.
I can't stop this, Luke.
I just I'm this close, man.
And I got the baby.
I can't.
You shouldn't have said anything.
- What's going on? - It's a new day.
Move your scrawny butt.
I checked the shower and Psycho Ian's not in there, so you need to be because, no offense, you're kind of rank.
- Thanks a lot.
- Well, I just call them like I smell them.
Chopitty, chopitty.
- What are you doing? - I told you.
We're warriors.
We kicked that idiot's psychotic ass, so a new day dawns, P.
Sawyer.
Yeah, but when I went to go see him Brooke, he said I led him on, that I led him on with, like, my podcasts and my webcam and the way that I dress.
Peyton.
So you're saying that every girl who wears a little bit of lipstick and a short skirt is asking to be assaulted and raped? No, of course not.
But I did give him full access to my life and now he knows all this stuff about me and he uses it, you know? - He uses it to get in.
- Okay.
Then it's time we start learning a little bit about him.
Get up and fight, warrior.
And take a shower.
- Just the ammo today, sir? - Yeah, just the ammo.
The only reason I ask is we just got this baby in today.
.
45 automatic.
And if you've got your handgun permit, you can be shooting her today.
How'd that feel? Jeez.
Who knew there were so many Ian Banks? Well, maybe we should add "stalker" to the search.
Really.
So where's your head at with Chase these days? I don't know.
I think about him a lot.
You know how it is.
I start wondering if he ever thinks about me, and if he does, is it the same? Did he leave 'cause of the videotape, or was he just looking for an out? You know, same old self-doubt.
Oh, wow, this is him.
- He's not from St.
Flora.
He's from Texas.
- What? Oh, my God.
His girlfriend looks just like you, if you If I what? If you were dead.
- I wanna tell someone, Mom.
- Abby.
I'm tired of lying about what I saw and I'm tired of hiding out and pretending I'm crazy.
- I wanna go back to school, Mom.
- Honey, you can't.
As soon as I make enough money, we'll go someplace different.
We will.
- But for now, we have to do it this way.
- Why? Because I say so, that's why.
So, what, then? We just hide from our lives? - At least we have lives.
- Not really, Mom.
And you might be afraid of this, but I'm not.
Abby.
Abby.
Abby! - You need to get out of here.
- I wanna talk to you.
- I said get out! - Just stop it! Calm down! Just shut up! Will you shut up? Just Okay, look, I need you to sit down.
Just go sit down.
Sit down.
You're Abby Brown.
Look, I don't know what you think you might've seen.
- She didn't see anything.
- Shut up! Just - You made a mistake.
- No.
I saw you.
I saw everything.
- Abby! She's not well.
- I know what you did.
And so do you.
My brother, Keith, was always better than me.
He had a better heart.
People liked him more.
No, they loved him.
Karen loved him.
But Karen was mine.
She was supposed to be mine.
She was just a girl who went to school that day.
She's just a girl.
I hope you burn in hell.
So do I.
Well, if it isn't Tease One and Tease Two.
- Did you come back for another kiss? - Not really, Derek.
Or should I call you Ian? Yeah, we know your real name.
Actually, we know a lot of things about you.
We spoke to all your teachers at the Alton Academy and the girls you used to date.
- You don't know anything about me.
- Really? Susanna Gold ring a bell? You know, a lot of teenage boys have performance anxiety.
I know a lot of teenage girls who are teases, too.
Is that really the best that you've got? 'Cause we have a lot more than some podcasts and a few webcam photos, Ian Banks.
- Whatever.
- Boyfriend of Maggie Watterson.
- Or should I say former boyfriend? - You shut your mouth, you whore.
Hey.
What happened to Maggie, Ian? - I don't know what you're talking about.
- Really? Because the accident You were driving.
It was prom night.
No, it wasn't my fault! What happened, Ian? Lan? We were just messing around, driving fast.
My father never let me drive that car.
He loved that car.
The road was slippery.
You lost control.
I tried to wake her up, but there was just blood.
There was just so much blood.
Her parents said it was my fault.
They They all said it.
I can't be Maggie, Ian.
I'm not Maggie.
We were gonna be together forever.
She loved me.
She She trusted me.
She forgives you.
She forgives you.
I forgive you, too.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm not gonna be seeing you anymore.
And you're not gonna see us, either.
Ever.
Ever.
Goodbye, Ian.
I hope you find peace.
We talked about not saying anything.
Lucas He was supposed to do nothing.
- He's really just trying to help out.
- It's just so Lucas, you know? Trying to be the hero.
I'm not gonna feel guilty about it.
Nobody asked him to do this.
That's not exactly true.
He's doing this for me because I asked him to.
And if you're not gonna feel guilty about it, then I sure as hell will, because he is my best friend and he's your brother and he's doing this for all of us, for you and me and our son.
And it just really sucks.
Damn it.
I'm sorry, Hales.
I'm sorry I put us through this.
I'm sorry I made you ask Lucas to take the blame.
I'm sorry I've been so weak about all this.
Nathan, you are about to make every dream you've had come true.
Everybody understands that.
No, it's not worth it.
I mean, what the hell was I thinking? - You were - We're gonna be parents soon.
What would we want our son to do? What would make us proud? And what am I gonna say to him someday when he asks about this? That it was Dan? That I put what I wanted in front of everything else? Nathan, you're gonna lose it all.
Your scholarship, the game that you love.
I won't lose it all.
I'll still have you, and we'll still have our son.
And we'll have that feeling that, in the face of all this, we didn't lose our way and we still know right from wrong.
I'm just scared for you.
I love you for this, but it's not my dream that's dying.
It's yours.
I know it's gonna be hard.
I know that.
But the people I admire are the people that carve a life for themselves after their dream dies.
My father could never get past it, Hales.
He could never let go of what he wanted when he was 17.
Look what it did to him.
Open your eyes, Lucas.
Open your eyes.
- Abby? - I need to talk to you.
I know what my mom said and I'm sorry she lied, but I need to tell you some things.
You were hiding in the hallway.
I got scared and I ran.
But I was worried about the others and Jimmy, too.
I saw it in his eyes when he let me go.
He was just scared, too.
You came back.
What happened after that? Abby, come on, you gotta tell me.
Please.
Your Uncle Keith, he tried to help Jimmy.
- Please.
- But he couldn't.
- Jimmy - Jimmy what? Jimmy what? No! Was my Uncle Keith still alive when Jimmy shot himself? Who shot him, Abby? I thought once he realized someone knew the truth, he'd come forward.
So I stalked him with messages and threats.
I thought he'd turn himself in.
I thought I'd be safe.
But he found me.
Who? Who killed Keith? Who killed my uncle? Your father.
It was your father, Dan Scott.
He killed Keith.
He was there, and he picked up the gun.
And you know I'm right, don't you? You know it in your heart.
You have to come forward.
No, you gotta tell somebody, Abby.
Abby, you have to tell somebody! I did.
I told you.
I'm sorry.
Coach.
I don't how you can look your brother in the eye, Nathan.
This is a damn disgrace.
Coach, I lied to you on the River Court yesterday and during the playoffs.
- It wasn't Lucas.
- I know.
- I'm sorry.
- So am I.
More than you'll ever know.
When I was two years old, I made my first basket.
When I was six, basketball went from being a game to a sport.
Since then, I've played 7,072 official minutes, probably 20,000 or 30,000 unofficial.
But for 32 minutes this season, over the course of two games, I did not compete to the best of my ability.
I regret this.
I regret that the fear of losing the opportunity to continue playing the game that I've always loved prevented me from standing up and taking full responsibility for this sooner.
I apologize to my coach, to my teammates, to all the kids who look up to me.
Especially to the kids.
While I never lost a game on purpose, the truth is still the truth.
You can spin it, you can shade it, you can bend it, but there's still right and wrong, and I was wrong.
And the truth is, I've forsaken a game that's always been incredibly good to me and teammates that have been like brothers and a brother that was a teammate.
To my coach, my wife, my father and my family, I apologize for the burden I know this will bring.
I know that the integrity of the game cannot be compromised.
I regret that my own integrity was not as steadfast.
I'm deeply remorseful for the choices I made, but I will accept whatever consequences there might be.
I love this game and I'm sorry I betrayed it.
Brooke.
You loved your room, Peyton.
And maybe, like you said, that's been taken from you, but we're gonna take it back.
We're gonna take everything back.
Dan? I've done some horrible things, unforgivable things.
Lucas didn't need a father.
He had one.
He had a person who helped erase the shame of my cowardice.
Everything I've touched, I've diminished.
Deb's life.
Nathan's talent.
Keith.
Look, you are not without redemption.
I've seen it.
- I see it.
- That's not true.
It's not true.
I just wanna I wanna go back, you know? I just wanna go back.
I wanna take that little kid that I used to be and just grab him and shake him and say, "You stop! Stop! Just stop!" I wanna wake up from this nightmare, you know? I wanna breathe again.
I wanna I wanna breathe again, Karen.
Can you help me breathe? Can you help me quiet these voices in my head that tell me I've lost you? Because I know that I have.
If only I would've stayed with you.
Truth is still absolute.
Believe that.
Even when that truth is hard and cold and more painful than you ever imagined, and even when truth is more cruel than any lie.
