One Tree Hill (2003–2012): Season 4, Episode 19 - Ashes of Dreams You Let Die - full transcript

Previously on One Tree Hill.

...some reporters asking questions about
point shaving, that kind of thing.

- You know anything about that?
- No, sir.

How bad will it get
if they find out about you and Daunte?

They'll take my scholarship for sure.

Coach, I lied to you.

It wasn't Lucas. I'm sorry.

So am I.

I will accept whatever consequences
there might be.

I love this game

and I'm sorry I betrayed it.



- You made a mistake.
- No.

I saw you. I saw everything.

Was my Uncle Keith still alive
when Jimmy shot himself?

Who killed my uncle?

It was your father. Dan Scott.

You son of a bitch!

Stop!

What's wrong with you?

Karen, I'm...

I'm sorry. It shouldn't have happened.
It just did.

He killed Keith! He shot him!

I should go.

- Why would you say something like...
- 'Cause it's the truth!

Stop it.



Jimmy killed Keith.

So stop it!

I guess it was only a matter of time until
the entire town found out I'm a cheater.

Sorry.

You know, when I was in school,

everybody was like laughing at me
after the tour

and whispering and making fun of me
and stuff.

I went to school one day and I wasn't
so interesting and it kind of blew over.

- I think this probably will, too.
- I hope you're right.

How's your valedictory speech coming?

Very, very slowly. This is ridiculous.

Graduation's like a few days away.
I'm supposed to be finished with it.

I'm not even close.

It'll be great. You'll be great.

- Hear anything from Duke yet?
- Not yet.

I'm guessing they're too busy
trying to find another shooting guard

- to fill my scholarship.
- You don't know that.

It's what I would do.

Maybe you should talk to Whitey.

He's always been there for you, you know?
Maybe he can help.

- Do you know what today is, P. Sawyer?
- Shot in the dark.

- Yearbook day.
- No.

- It's the last Wednesday of high school.
- The beginning of the end.

Do you always have to put a dark
and twisted spin on things?

My point is that after this week
we actually have to figure out

what we're gonna do with our lives.

Oh, I thought you already did that.
Let's see? What does the yearbook say?

"Brooke Davis".

Joan Rivers?

Come on, it was her or Ryan Seacrest.

- Good choice.
- Thank you.

What does the future holds
for Peyton Sawyer?

Let's see.

"Goal". It's blank. How predictable!

That's what I call ambition.

You don't think maybe it's time
you just aim for something?

Well, maybe I have.

I applied for an internship
with Sire Records a few months ago

and I just found out I got it.

Seriously?

They need an answer as soon as possible.

- So say yes.
- It's in Los Angeles.

Wait. We can spend
the summer together in L.A.

We can stay with my parents and...
This is kind of perfect.

Yeah, I know. I just have to tell Lucas.

Peyton, he's gonna be happy for you.

Just like I am.

Hey.

Sorry to pull you out of class,
but I need a moment of your time.

- I think I know what this is about.
- You do?

Yeah. I... I know I was supposed to give
you a copy of my valedictory speech.

It's just not quite finished yet, so...

I'm sorry to tell you this,
but you're not going to be able

to deliver your valedictory address
this Saturday.

Why? What happened?
Did somebody beat me out after finals?

No. You finished at the top of your class.
And I'm very proud of you for that,

but the school board
has expressed some concerns

in light of what's happened recently.

Okay, so this is about Nathan?

- Haley...
- I worked really, really hard for this.

I know you did, Haley.

But this has become very public.

I'm sorry.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'd like to speak to a detective.

What's this regarding?

I'd like to report a murder.

Okay, let me make sure I understand this.

You're accusing the Mayor of this town,
who also happens to be your father,

of killing his brother, your uncle,

and you're making this serious accusation
without any proof?

Like I told you, I have proof.

Right. The girl who witnessed everything.

And what was her name?

Yeah, who is this girl, Lucas?
She sounds disturbed.

Maybe if you could put us
in touch with her,

we could clear up this
horrible misunderstanding.

I'm sorry to waste your time with this,
Mr. Mayor.

I know how busy you are.

Well, that's not a problem.

You see, Captain, I recently started
a relationship with his mother.

So you can't blame him for being angry.

I'm just surprised
at this hateful accusation.

Still, I think it's best
if we just forget it ever happened.

I spent that day with your father
outside the school.

I was the one that told him
his brother had died.

What you have done here today
is reckless and inexcusable,

and I think you owe him an apology.

He's a troubled boy.

- Mom, what the hell?
- I'm cleaning my gun.

You don't want me to have a misfire,
do you?

Well, here's a thought. No gun, no misfire.
Problem solved.

What's the fun in that?

Oh, by the way, Haley told me that
you invited her to a shooting range.

Are you completely out of your mind?

There is some evidence to support that.

Mom, guns and babies don't mix.

Oh, Nathan, don't worry.

As soon as the baby is born,

the gun will be stored in my locker
at the shooting range.

You've got a locker at the shooting range?

Forget it. I'm late for school.

Joan Rivers, huh?

Some lofty aspirations.

No making fun, X-Games gold medalist.

You already looked me up in the yearbook.

- That's good to know.
- Don't get cocky.

I didn't look you up. I just opened it
to a random page and there you were.

Some people would call that fate.

I call it a coincidence.

So, I was wondering...

Why did you leave Clean Teens?

I realized I was just hiding out
in Clean Teens.

I mean, I didn't join the club
because I was against sex.

I'm sure I'd actually like sex.

- You definitely would.
- Yeah. My point is,

I thought if I join Clean Teens,
girls wouldn't be interested in me.

And then maybe I wouldn't have
my heart broken again.

- And then I came along.
- Yep.

So that didn't work.

I'm sorry.

If it means anything,
I've been thinking about you.

Me, too.

Really? What you been thinking?

Well, how about I write it
in your yearbook?

This isn't mine.

It's Bevin's. She's signing mine this period.

Oh, okay.

But we can exchange books
in calculus tomorrow.

That way I can sign yours, too.

I'd like that. I'll see you there.

- Hey, Mouth.
- Gigi. Hi.

I didn't know you were
on the yearbook staff.

- I like to keep myself occupied.
- Good idea.

Listen, I have to ask you something
about the yearbook.

I thought it might bother you.
I hope you're not upset with me.

- Why would I be upset with you?
- Oh, no reason.

Actually, I'm upset about
what's not in the yearbook.

Jimmy Edwards. Here, look at this picture.

That's Jimmy. Why was he cropped out?

Well, he was originally in it,
but we were told to take him out.

You know, I think I'm actually
getting fatter by the minute.

I hope so.

You're just saying that
to make me feel better.

No. I'm saying that because the bigger
you get, the taller our son's gonna be.

So, it's all right if
I look like a Weeble Wobble

as long as our son can dunk a basketball?

Have you finished your speech yet?

I'm not...
I'm not gonna be giving the speech.

Haley, come on.

Look, everyone knows
you're pregnant, okay?

Pregnant people get bigger. It's natural.

It's actually Principal Turner.

He told me that I'm not allowed
to give the speech on graduation.

What are you talking about? Why?

He just said the whole
Rachel scandal, test thing...

It's just kind of made it not appropriate.

It's because of me, isn't it?

Yeah.

Look, it's really okay.
It is. It's not a big deal, okay?

It's just some stupid speech I probably
wouldn't have even finished anyway.

It's not a stupid speech,

- and they can't do this to you, Haley.
- They can. And it's not...

It doesn't matter.

High school's almost over, you know?
Let them take the stupid speech.

They can't take away everything else
I've accomplished.

So, how you holding up?

Oh, well, I've been better.

How are you doing?
You're the one who was attacked.

Yeah. That's why I stopped by.

I was up all night, Karen.
I'm really worried about Lucas.

Yeah, I wish I could get into his head

and understand
what it is he's going through.

Well, that's just it.
We can't get in his head.

And I think this problem is too serious
for us to deal with ourselves.

What are you saying?

I want to be there for you,
I wanna be there for the baby

and I wanna be there for Lucas.

But suddenly he's lashing out.

- Yeah, well, can you blame him?
- No.

But I do think he needs guidance.

And that's why I think we should get
him some professional help.

Someone to help him through this
awkward period of... Of us.

Of replacing Keith. Of all of it.

I love Lucas.

And I really think it's important
that we do this for him.

Hey, Peyton,
I need your opinion on something

and feel free to be brutally honest.

Yeah, right. 'Cause it really worked out
last time I was brutally honest with you.

Okay, first of all, let's not go there.

Second, as long as you don't declare
your love for Chase any time soon,

we'll be fine.

Well, he is seriously cute.

Too soon?

- Too soon.
- Sorry.

Anyway, I'm signing
Chase's yearbook tomorrow

and I've prepared
two possible inscriptions.

- No, you didn't.
- Yes, I did.

One expresses my true feelings for him

and the other talks about
how cool I think skateboarding is.

Brooke, you sure about this?
Like, you really want Chase back?

Yes. I want him. I miss him.

And if he's gonna put himself out there,
then so will I.

Well, how do you know
he's gonna put himself out there?

Because he told me he's gonna tell me
how he feels about me in my yearbook.

Well, good. I hope this works out.

Thanks. Me, too.

Besides, he's a really good kisser.

Okay, let me know what you think.

Lucas, I need to talk to you.

I love you.

You are the most important person
in my life

and it kills me to see you hurting like this.

But Keith is gone
and he's not coming back.

And eventually
I need to go on with my life.

- With Dan?
- Maybe.

I don't know.

Lucas, let me in. Please.

- You won't believe me, Ma.
- Try me.

I had a dream.

I saw this girl
the day Keith was shot.

She was in the hallway.

She watched it happen.

She saw everything.

Okay.

It was real, Mom. It...

The girl, I found her.

Her name's Abby, and she...

She was there.

She watched Keith die.

She told me.

She told you she saw Jimmy shoot Keith?

No.

She told me Dan shot Keith.

But now she's gone.

I can't prove it.

Lucas, I know how desperately
you want to believe in this.

No. It's true.

I think that it is time
that you go talk to somebody.

A professional.
Somebody who can help you through this.

- I'm not crazy.
- I know.

But I think that you have a problem.
We both think so.

We?

Dan and I.

Lucas,

do this for us.

Please.

Mr. McFadden. What can I do for you?

I want to know why you had Jimmy
Edwards removed from the yearbook.

Jimmy Edwards is no longer a student
at this school.

Well, in two days I won't be either,
but I'm still in the yearbook.

Look, Mouth.
A yearbook is a collection of memories.

A book that, 20 years from now,
these students will flip through

and remember what they loved
about this school.

I don't want them to look back
and be reminded of that terrible day.

It happened. It's a part of all of us.

But he deserves to be remembered.

Trust me.

No one will ever forget Jimmy Edwards.

Have you told Lucas
about the internship, yet?

No. Not yet.
I haven't been able to reach him.

Sorry, but you might wanna get used to it.

Life as Lucas Scott's girlfriend
can get pretty lonely sometimes.

Moment of truth.
You got your cheat sheet?

- Which one are you gonna use?
- I'm gonna tell him how I feel.

Wish me luck.

Hi.

- Saved you a spot. First page.
- Perfect.

Hey, Mouth. I brought you something.
It's Jimmy's.

I don't understand.

His mom ordered it last fall.

We were gonna mail it to her,
but I figured you'd want to take it to her.

Thanks.

I don't know what she wants
with a yearbook

that Jimmy's not even in,
but I'll take it to her.

Do you have a free period right now?

Gigi, I'm a senior.
I pretty much have a free week.

Good. Come on.

- Good luck.
- Thanks.

- Thanks again, Brooke.
- Sure.

- So I'll see you later?
- Hope so.

Oh, no.

Nice shot.

You always make it look so easy.

There's no pressure out here.
There's nothing on the line.

Besides, on this court,
the shots don't really matter.

They all matter, Nathan. Every shot.

Duke is rescinding your scholarship offer.

Sorry I couldn't help you on this one.

I understand.

So, I guess it's over, huh?

Far as I know, basketball's never over
until you put down the ball

and walk off the court.

- You know what I mean, Coach.
- No, Nathan, I don't think I do.

What the heck have I been teaching you
all these years?

When somebody says
you can't do something, you fight back.

You prove them wrong.

They took away my scholarship, Coach.
They don't want me anymore.

Then find somebody who does!

Nathan, where is the fire that made you
the best player I ever coached?

Show me it's still there.

If it's not, put down that ball
and walk off the court.

People love a guy
who rises from the ashes.

Remember that.

What are you doing here, Lucas?

Why did you paint this wall red, Dan?

- You covering something up?
- I wanted it red. I like red.

Abby told me she sent you messages.

Stalked you.

Did she write something on this wall, Dan?

That girl's crazy.
She's gotten inside your head, Lucas.

I know what you did

but I can't prove it.

So, all I can do now
is keep you away from my mom.

I can see that you're upset,
but everything's gonna be okay.

You're gonna go off to school

and I'm going to stay here and take care
of your mom and the baby.

That's not gonna happen.

You'll realize it's a good thing.
Your mom needs me. You'll see.

Coach. Hi, this is Nathan Scott.

Yeah.

Well, I was wondering if you
still needed a shooting guard,

because I'd love to come up there and...

Yeah, I understand. Thanks for your time.

Any luck?

It's over, Haley.
Nobody wants anything to do with me.

- Don't say that.
- It's true.

I ruined everything.

And now you can't even give this
speech that you worked so hard for,

that you earned, because I screwed it up.

I don't care about the speech, Nathan.
I care about us.

I love you.

- Do you love me?
- Of course I love you.

Okay. Then that's all that matters.
All right?

We are gonna find a way
to get through this together.

I promise.

You know, for what it's worth,
I miss hanging out with you.

I miss it, too.
I think about you all the time.

- Really?
- Of course.

But I still think we made
the right decision to break up.

I'm pretty sure you were flying solo
on that decision.

But I understood it. I still do.

But who knows? Maybe someday.

This is incredible, Gigi.
What can I do to thank you?

- You can let me sign your yearbook.
- I was hoping you would.

Read this!

- Ouch.
- Yeah.

And I just poured my heart out
in his yearbook.

I'm so embarrassed.

Maybe you should've opted
for that "skateboarders are cool" version.

This is not funny.
You know what this means, don't you?

I can never show my face
at this school again.

Yeah. It's a good thing
high school's almost over.

- Shut up.
- Hey!

- All done.
- That didn't take long.

You were easy.

- I hope that's a good thing.
- It is.

I don't know if I'll get to see you
before you leave,

so I'll say goodbye now.

- I'm gonna miss you, Mouth.
- I'm gonna miss you, too.

Come here.

Hey, Gigi.

Yesterday, when you asked
if I was upset with you

because of what was in the yearbook,

- what did you mean?
- Page 23.

Hey. Look who decided
to come out of hiding.

- Since when do you ditch school?
- Come on, finals are over.

Give me one good reason
to be here this week.

Actually, I have one.

This is yours. I picked it up this morning

'cause I wanted to be
the very first one to sign it.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I kind of got carried away
and took up an entire page

but I figured that's
my right as the best friend.

- Yes. You are my best friend.
- Yeah?

I can't believe high school is almost over.

Do you remember the first day
of freshman year?

Oh, yes. You asked me to pretend
to be your boyfriend

so the other guys wouldn't bother you.

I know, you were the best
fake boyfriend ever.

- God, it seems like forever ago, huh?
- It does.

Did you ever think this is how
senior year would end up?

What? Me married, pregnant,

living with a recovering junkie
who's packing heat? Absolutely.

What was that?

Deb. She keeps a gun in the kitchen
in a cookie jar.

She asked me to go to the shooting
range with her while I'm pregnant.

She's out of her mind.

Hello. Anybody home?

Hey, Coach.

Got a minute?

Looks like I'm getting more visits
in the house than I got in my office.

- Are you?
- I guess since I'm retired,

I ought to start a new business.

Charge fees for my advice.

That's not a bad idea.
What do you think you'd call it?

Oh, I don't know. I'll think of something.

I don't know how much advice I need,
but I could sure use your help.

- What can I do for you?
- You can help Nathan.

Everybody's turned their back on him.

You're the only person
that's never let him down.

Haley, I don't know
what I can do for him at this point.

Well, I'm sure
you could think of something.

Coach, he's still that guy that helped
you win all those games.

He's got the heart of a champion
and you know that.

You've watched him grow,

and you know
the kind of person that he is.

Can't you just help him
be more that person?

Help him for all the times he's helped you.

Let me think a bit.

Hi. Freshmen. Great.

As your Student Council President,
I just wanted to come by

and personally say good luck
with the rest of high school.

You guys are gonna love
the next three years.

I can't wait!

Well, maybe not all of you.

Okay. Have a good day.

Excuse me. I have a boyfriend.

Really? Where is he?

Good question. I've been wondering
that myself for two days.

- Yeah, I guess I deserve that.
- Makes a girl feel cheap.

Give it up in Honey Grove
and then poof! Vanishing boyfriend.

- Poof?
- Poof.

Look, I'm sorry.

I kind of have this habit
of crawling into my shell.

Well, quit your dumb habit, 'cause your
girlfriend really needs you this weekend.

What's going on?

I have an impossible decision to make,
and not a whole lot of time to make it in.

Okay. Look, I'm here now. Tell me about it.

I applied for an internship at Sire Records
a few months ago,

before we were together.

And I just found out I got it.

Oh, my God, that's great.

It's in Los Angeles.

Take it.

You deserve it.

- I don't want to leave you.
- I will be here when you get back.

But you are destined for greatness,
Peyton, and we both know that.

This is your first step.
You can't pass that up.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

I'm so proud of you.

Look, Peyton.

- You know I love you, right?
- Yeah.

No matter what happens
to either one of us,

you will always be in my heart.

Excuse me, everybody.
This'll only take a minute.

This yearbook belongs to Jimmy Edwards.

Everyone knows his name,

but some of you actually knew Jimmy
before that day.

Maybe you sat with him at lunch.
Maybe you went to grade school together.

If you knew Jimmy, even for a short time,

then you probably have
some good memories of him.

And I hope you'll consider
writing them down in his yearbook.

Thanks.

Lucas, I know how you feel about Jimmy,
but it's the right thing to do.

I know it is.

You got a pen?

Hey, you're a great friend, Mouth.

Jimmy would really appreciate this.

Principal Turner?

Whatever it is, Mr. Scott, it'll have to wait.

I'm very busy.

This won't take long, I promise.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I know I embarrassed you.
I embarrassed this school.

And I'm sorry for that. I am, but...

Please, don't take this out on Haley.

- This wasn't an easy decision, Nathan.
- But you made it.

And now, the best student,
the best person in this school,

can't give a speech
because she's married to me.

Does that sound fair to you?

You should know that I've received
numerous phone calls

from parents and school board members.

Do you have a wife, Principal Turner?

Yes, I do.

Is she the best part of you?

Would you want her to pay
for your mistakes?

We've all made mistakes,
and believe me, I'm paying for mine,

but Haley's a good person,

and she's worked for four years
to be valedictorian.

She deserves to be recognized.

Hi. Come in.

Hey.

You're a little late. I'm kind of hungry.

- Are you hungry?
- No.

Let's go out. We never go out anymore.

Let's go eat something really bad
for us and pig out.

That sounds great, but I'm guessing
you're gonna be a little busy tonight.

Doing what?

- What is this?
- It's the graduation program.

"Tree Hill High School Graduation".

"Valedictory address: Haley James Scott"?

Turner changed his mind.

Are you for real?
Oh, come here! Thank you.

Oh, my God,
I have to go start writing my speech!

You got a lot of work to do.

I'll grab us something to eat, okay?
Something really bad for us.

No. I'm gonna be speaking in front of
a thousand people on Saturday.

Plus I'm pregnant.
I need healthy food. Healthy!

Hey. You okay?

I told Lucas about the internship.

- What'd he say?
- He wants me to go.

He's right.

Was there a part of you
that was hoping he'd ask you to stay?

No, no, no, it's not that.

There's something going on with him,

and I just worry about
being away all summer.

Peyton, when has Lucas ever
not made the right decision?

Well, let's see.

He didn't take his heart pills
and collapsed recently.

You know what I mean.

Okay, if you're worried about
your relationship, it's one thing,

but I don't think you need to be.

Lucas is right. Take the internship.

And have a fabulous summer in L.A.
With me.

Yeah.

I'll get it.

Hey.

Can I help you?

I was hoping we could talk about
what you wrote in my yearbook.

What's the point? I mean, I...
I didn't mean half the things I said.

I just, for some stupid reason,

thought you were going
to write something similar, so...

I wanted to.

Don't do that, okay? It's too late. It's fine.

When I walked into that classroom today,
I was gonna tell you exactly how I feel.

And I wanted to earlier in the hallway.

- So, why didn't you?
- I don't know.

Guess I wasn't sure I wanted
to put my heart out there again.

But look, the point is,
everything that you wrote to me,

I feel it, too.

I just didn't know how to put it into words.

You just did.

Hello, this is Whitey Durham.

I'm sorry to call so late, but I need
to speak with your athletic director.

Marvin.

I brought you something.

It's Jimmy's yearbook.
A lot of people signed it.

They... They said some really
nice things about Jimmy.

Thank you.

- Lucas is gonna be okay, Karen.
- I don't know.

Something about this
just doesn't feel right.

When I asked him to get help,
he looked betrayed.

You did the right thing.
He's out of control. He's acting crazy.

My son is not crazy.

I'm sorry, Karen. I didn't mean it like that.

You know, this isn't easy for me, Dan.
Any of this.

What is it?

Just a little problem
I thought I took care of.

I have to go. This won't take long.
I'm sorry.

Going somewhere, Dan?

What do you think you're doing, Lucas?

I'm protecting my mother.

- What are you gonna do? Shoot me?
- Yes, I am.

Just like you shot my Uncle Keith.

Lucas what are you doing with a gun?

- Put that down, right now!
- I can't!

Lucas!

The little text message Dan just got?

I sent it.

I pretended to be Abby. You know,
the girl who watched him murder Keith?

You heard him. Abby's just a little problem
he thought he'd taken care of.

Don't listen to him, Karen. He's delusional.

Maybe

you should tell the truth
when I have a gun aimed at your head.

Lucas, please, just put the gun down.
All right? I can't...

I can't...

- Karen!
- Do not touch her.

Mom! Mom, are you okay?

- She could be having a miscarriage.
- You stay right there! Do not touch her!

- Lucas!
- She's my mother!

I swear to God I will kill you!
