One Tree Hill (2003–2012): Season 4, Episode 5 - I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness - full transcript

Previously on One Tree Hill.

I do remember something
from the accident.

- What did you see?
- Keith.

The boys in Tree Hill are so boring.

Isn't there anybody our age
you think you could fall for?

Maybe.

Hi, I'm Derek.

- I guess I'm your brother.
- Hi, Derek.

Lucas isn't the guy you think he is.

Ellie brought us together.
I want you to have it.

I'm going to find
a really special place for this.



You got it bad, don't you, baby?

It's not Brooke. It's me. I'm pregnant.

Lucas, you know you don't have to come
to every check-up with me.

Its okay, Mom, I want to.

Lucas, why are you coming
to every check-up with me?

- Would Keith be at every check-up?
- Probably, yeah.

Well, then there's your answer.

Karen? We're ready for you.

Go to school, kid.
You're making me nervous.

Peyton?

I'm sorry. I thought you...

That's my friend's jacket.

Take it. Get out.

Who did this to you?



Nobody. I'm just clumsy, that's all.

Hello?

Yes, sir.

A full scholarship.

Yes, sir.
Tell Coach K, I won't let him down.

Thank you.

Yes.

Haley!

What?

- I'm going to Duke.
- I'm pregnant.

It's not Brooke. It's me.

Well, how long have you known?

- A few weeks.
- A few weeks?

I'm sorry. I didn't know how to tell you.

Can you talk to me?
Can you tell me what you're thinking?

Do you still wanna go to Stanford?

- What?
- Stanford. For college.

Yeah, I mean, of course I do, but I don't...

I have to go.

Nathan. Nathan!

I'm pregnant.

We're pregnant.

At least just tell me
how you feel about that?

I feel like you should've told me
a few weeks ago.

That's how I feel.

Hey, Peyton!

- I found your jacket.
- Luke! Oh, my God.

Damn.
I kept a picture of Ellie in here, it's gone.

- That is your jacket, right?
- Yeah, where'd you find it?

Look, does Derek know about
the scar on your leg where you were shot?

Yeah. Why?

- Your jacket was on a girl in the hospital.
- What?

Yeah, she was bleeding in the same place
that you were shot in the leg.

Okay, creepy and weird,
but what does that have to do with Derek?

The other night at Tric,
when he hugged you good night,

he kind of...

- He sniffed your hair.
- Luke, come on!

No, look,
and then your jacket goes missing.

- Stop!
- Ends up on some

hooker in the hospital
wearing a blond wig

- who's dressed like you.
- Whoa-whoa-whoa, wait.

How do you know she was a hooker?

- I don't know. She looked like a hooker.
- Thanks.

Look, I know you're a little bit
jealous of him...

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa,
I'm not jealous of Derek.

Okay. Fine, you're not jealous of him.

So instead of a girl stealing my jacket,
you think Derek stole it,

put it on a woman who may
or may not be a prostitute,

and then stabbed her in the leg.
Is that what you think?

- Honestly, yeah.
- Luke, come on.

This is important to me, okay?

Having a family and having Derek.

He's been nothing but good to me.
So just don't make me doubt him. Please.

I'm just trying to watch out for you,
Peyton.

I know. And I thank you.

But how about you just bodyguard me
to English class?

- Hey.
- Hi.

Well, you said to just come in, so I did.

Thanks for coming.

I know we should be at school,

but I really wanted to talk to you
about the accident.

I feel like we're connected somehow,
Nathan.

Like we're the only two people
on the planet,

you know, trying to understand this.

And, well,
maybe we can help each other through it.

Haley's pregnant.

- You mean Brooke.
- No.

The rumors were wrong. It's Haley.

You know, ten minutes ago,
I was this close to my dream.

For a moment I actually knew exactly
who I was gonna be. And now...

I didn't see Keith.

I'm sorry.

I heard you talking to Peyton
at the party and I just...

All right, I'm an idiot.

That figures.

Nathan.

- You're gonna be okay.
- Sure.

I owe thousands of dollars in hospital bills,

my wife is pregnant and I think
my dead uncle saved my life.

Your parents have money
and your baby's gonna be beautiful.

And maybe your dead uncle saved your life

because you were destined for greatness.

Nathan?

If Haley wasn't pregnant,
did I have a shot?

Not for a second.

Haley.

What's wrong?

I told Nathan that I'm pregnant...

And he walked out.

I'm sorry, buddy.

Listen. Now that Nathan knows,

it wouldn't be horrible exactly

if news of your pregnancy
just somehow sort of slipped out, right?

Well, no, I guess not.

Okay. Great!

Hey, people! Listen up!

I'm not the one who's pregnant, okay?
Haley is!

- Brooke!
- Haley's got the roast on slow cook,

not me! Haley!

Thank you!

Hello?

- It's okay. It's me.
- God! You jackass!

I'm sorry. Okay? I was worried about you.

I wanted to check on the house
before you got home.

Luke, the only one terrorizing me here
is you. Okay?

So, you find anything out of place?

- No. Everything's fine.
- That's right.

Everything's fine.

Other than your brother sniffing your hair.

Okay, well, maybe I saw it wrong.

I'm sorry. Again. I'm going home.

Lucas Scott.

- Thanks for caring.
- You're welcome.

- Hey.
- Hey, perv.

- Did you just IM me?
- No! Why?

Nothing. It's okay. I'll talk to you later.

Okay.

- Lucas Scott.
- Yes, sir.

Detective Wilcox.
We've met before, haven't we?

- Yeah, after the school shooting.
- I thought so.

Listen, they filled me in on this whole
"long-lost brother" scenario.

What else can you give me?

Unfortunately, not much.

Look, I just have a really bad feeling
about this guy

and I'm worried about my friend Peyton.

You carried her out. Peyton Sawyer.

You were the one who carried her
out of the school.

Yeah.

Okay.

- We'll bring him in.
- So you believe me.

You don't think this sounds crazy?

I didn't say it didn't sound crazy.

But that look in your eyes
tells me that you believe it.

- Mr. Scott?
- Haley.

What a surprise. Come on in.

What can I do for you?

I'm just here because

I don't know who else can talk to Nathan.

I'm pregnant.

- Seems to be going around.
- You have to know that

I would never plan something like this
or try and trap him,

especially now that he's got
a scholarship offer to Duke.

Which you didn't know. Sorry.

First of all, congratulations.

Although I am far too young
and handsome to be a grandfather.

And second. Don't worry. It's not healthy.

Have you told Nathan?

- He totally freaked out.
- Been there.

But Haley, it's all gonna be okay.

I'll talk to Nathan. Okay?

Thank you.

Hi, Peyton.

Who let you in here, Peyton?

- Your door was open.
- That's odd.

Yeah.

So, here's the deal.

You know I've really enjoyed
having you around,

but school's gonna be really busy.

So maybe you should just go back
to St. Flora now.

It's Lucas, isn't it?

- He doesn't like me.
- No.

- He's sabotaging our relationship.
- No, Derek.

It's not Lucas. I mean, it's my dad,

he's back from sea now.
So, I have to, I have to spend time...

Look, he's not even your real father!

I'm sorry, Peyton,

I've always imagined
what it'd be like to know you.

You know, to really get inside you.

Now I can never imagine not knowing you.

Not mattering to you.

I matter to you, don't I, Peyton?

Yeah.

More than Lucas?

Goodbye, Derek.

Mom?

Mom?

Nathan.

Is this a friendly visit
or is the DEA outside?

I'm not here to fight with you, Mom.
You have a problem and you know that.

I'm here to tell you that
Duke offered me a scholarship.

Oh, honey.

Oh, congratulations.

I'm so proud of you, Nathan.

Well, there's gonna be
a press conference tonight.

I'll let you know where.
But I really want you to be there, Mom.

- I wouldn't miss it.
- Sober.

I want you to be there sober.

I promise you. I'll be there.

Okay.

Hey. Hey, hey, listen,
don't be pissed at me, okay?

But I talked to the police
and there's definitely...

- Whoa, hey, what's wrong?
- No. You were right.

You were right. Look.
It was in his hotel room.

Okay, what happened?

Nothing, I lied and I said
my dad was waiting,

but I haven't been able to reach him.

It's okay. It's okay.
Look, you can come stay with me.

- All right?
- Okay.

- Let's go get your stuff.
- I'm sorry I doubted you.

It's okay.

For a second there,
I wasn't sure I had the right son.

- What do you want, Dad?
- I just came by to say congratulations.

You're gonna be a father.
Now get up and give the old man a hug.

Oh, it's a wonderful thing, son.

Sort of like getting a full ride from Duke.

- I knew there was a catch.
- Oh, hold on. There's no catch.

I'm thrilled for you and Haley.

But, how long have you loved Haley?
A year?

And you've loved the game
most of your life. You've worked hard,

and Duke recognizes that.
It's a hell of an accomplishment, son.

Haley's dream is to go to Stanford.

Interesting.
I thought her dream was to go on tour.

Oh, wait a minute.
You already let her do that, didn't you?

- Dad.
- Hey, look, I like Haley.

I was wrong about her, okay?

But, if she insists on going to Stanford,
then you gotta let her go.

- Alone.
- She's pregnant.

I understand that.

But if she loves you,
I mean, truly loves you.

Then Haley will put her second dream
behind your first and follow you to Duke.

Hey, I played ball and had you.
You can do it too.

The day I signed
my National Letter of Intent

was the greatest day of my life.

This could be that day for you.

But if Haley takes that away from you,
after you let her go on tour,

then she's not the person
either you and I thought she was.

Think about that.

You understand it now, don't you, son?

I wasn't a monster back then.

I was just a kid chasing his dream
his whole life and finally earned it.

Just like you.

Okay, I know this is a little odd
coming from me,

but don't you think it's a little early?

It's never too early.

Besides, you've been so unhappy lately,

I thought happy hour was the way to go.
Cheers.

So how'd you find this place, anyway?

It's where I met Cooper.

- I'm sorry, Rachel.
- No, it's okay.

I mean, actually, we met on-line first.

I posted some pictures and Cooper replied.

A little lie about my age, some great sex,

a stolen limo, a bridge and a brief
hospital stay later and here we are.

I couldn't do it, the whole
lie-about-my-age-on-the-lnternet thing.

Not to meet a guy. I mean...

You already did.

What? No! No! Rachel!

Just because I am single does not mean
you can pimp me out on-line.

- Is a guy coming here?
- No.

- He's already here.
- What did you...

Okay, he's a part-time model.

You are a 23-year-old
fashion designer named Peyton.

Very funny.

Hi.

Hi. I'm Peyton.

I know. I'm Nick.

I'll be going.

Have fun. Use condoms. Bye.

She's...

Nick, as in Saint Nick?

Not really.

Nathan?

Hi.

Having a press conference
to announce that I'm going to Duke.

I thought we agreed we'd make
that decision together.

Well, plans change, don't they?

You know, everybody's been
congratulating me about the baby

and telling me how wonderful it is,
except you.

A part of me thinks it is wonderful.

- A part of you?
- Haley, what do you want me to say?

I want you to say that,

whatever it is,
we're gonna face it together

and you've never been so happy.

And everything's gonna be okay.

Haley, I don't wanna lie to you.

This whole thing scares me to death.

Look,

do you wanna come with me?

- To Duke?
- To the press conference.

I can't. I can't do that right now.

My dad said you would say that.

You know what, Nathan.

It is really not about
what schools we go to

or what dreams we have.

Because whatever you want,
I want that for you.

I just really thought
that the news of your child

would affect you more than
the news of a scholarship.

I'm not gonna feel guilty about this.
I'm not.

Can you believe this?

Derek. Is it any wonder
I have commitment issues?

Yep. You're pretty much
the Bermuda Triangle of relationships.

Thanks.

- Crap. Turn around.
- What?

Just turn around. I have to change.

You know, I can't believe what a creep
he turned out to be. You know?

And I just let him waltz into my house.

Like, "Hey, I'm a crazy psycho,
can I come in?" And then, I'm all like,

"Yeah sure. You wanna see my bedroom?"

- Peyton.
- And he's still out there.

Oh, God, they'll find him, okay?

All right? The detectives,
they said they'd call when they do,

and then we'll finally have some answers.

Until then, you're safe with me. I promise.

You're always saving me.

Okay, you can turn around.

Whoa!
Is this your way of saying thank you?

Nice try. A few of the cheerleaders
have to be at Nathan's press conference.

Oh. Wow. I forgot about that.

Wouldn't you be safer
just to avoid the whole thing?

No. I'm not gonna hide out
because of Derek. No way.

Well, actually I meant because
Brooke might be there.

Welcome to my history,
Haley James Scott.

- Hello.
- Lucas, it's Detective Wilcox.

- We picked up Derek.
- They got him.

Could you come down to the station?
I'd like you to give a formal statement.

Sure, I'm on my way.

They want me to go to the station.

- Should I go too?
- No, you know what, I don't think so.

- Would you apologize to Nathan for me?
- Yeah.

Okay. I'll call you.

Why don't you just come by my house
when you're done?

All right.

Thank you.

You all right?

No wife. No mom.

Just lying bitches like me.

I really wanted to help you, Nathan.

And most of the time
that means sex in my world.

But that wasn't fair to you and Haley.

Plus there's all this Cooper stuff
that's gonna take years of therapy.

How's Haley doing?

She hasn't said it,
but I think she's as scared as I am.

She shouldn't be. Unlike the rest of us,

this baby's gonna have two
pretty great parents.

Good luck.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
and welcome to City Hall.

It's my pleasure to host
this press conference,

not just as your Mayor,

but as an awfully proud father.

And now without further ado, I'd like to

present a young man with an enormously
bright future, my son, Nathan Scott.

Greatest day of your life.

As many of you know,
I called this press conference today

to announce where I plan
to play basketball in college.

I've had a lot of great offers,
but it's always been my dream

to play at Duke University.

So, that's where I plan to go.

But...

You know, my father said that today
would be the greatest day of my life.

And you're right, Dad. It is.
But it's not because of basketball.

You see, today I learned that my wife,
Haley, is pregnant.

And while it's an absolute honor
to be recruited by Duke University,

I guess what I have to say to you
today is this.

Where I play basketball,
if I play basketball,

is no longer a decision
for me to make alone.

It's a decision that I'll make with my wife

and my family's best interest at heart.

And when I do, I'll let you all know.

And my wife couldn't be here today,
so I just wanted to say one thing to her.

Haley, no matter what happens,
we'll face it together.

But I promise you, I've never been happier.

Everything's gonna be okay. I love you.

- I love you, too.
- Thank you.

It's all in your head.

So, are you enjoying the tour?

Almost as much as the handholding.

Oh, good. We'll continue both.

This is Tree Hill High where I...

used to be a cheerleader. Like, years ago.

A cheerleader.

Nice.
Any chance you still have your uniform?

You know, I think there's a pretty
good chance I do.

Oh. Excellent.

What were you like in high school?

Horny. Mostly for cheerleaders.

Well! Maybe we should get you back
to high school. Come on.

You ought to be proud of Nathan today,

putting his dreams on hold
so history wouldn't repeat itself.

- He acted like a child.
- No, Danny.

He acted like a man.

I didn't know you were a religious person.

Genesis 4:10.

That number you gave us
led us right to him.

Yeah, I'm just glad he's not out there.

That's not him.

Son, that's Derek Sommers
from St. Flora, North Carolina.

Same phone number as the one
in the letter you gave us.

That's not him. Peyton.

He's free to go.

- Hey.
- They got the wrong guy!

- What?
- Derek! He's still out there.

Don't go home!

Hey, Lucas, I gotta go. I just got home

and my dad's waiting for me,
plus Derek's here.

No-no-no-no! Wait! Didn't you hear me?

- Hey, Derek.
- Peyton?

- Peyton!
- Hey. Hey, I wanna talk to you.

Hey? Hey!

Hey!

Look, you know what,
I told you my dad's home now.

No, he's not.

I locked it.

Peyton. Peyton!

Don't you know how much I love you?

Oh, God. Look, look, Derek...

That wasn't very nice, Peyton.

You better get out of here,
I'm calling the cops!

I don't think so.

You see, you dropped
your cell phone on the porch

and the home line, well, it's dead.

Leave me alone!

Oh, God!

Don't you know
we're supposed to be together?

Don't cry, Peyton.

I'm here now.

I came here for you.

Run, Peyton!

Lucas!

Lucas!

No!

Stop!

I watched you, Peyton. I listened to you.

Everything that you showed me
on your webcam.

The things that you
shared with me on-line.

You were talking to me. I know you were...

- Who the hell are you?
- I'm her brother, bitch!

Who the hell are you?

It's been real good meeting you.

But there's only room
for one guy in Peyton's life.

No way.

Hey. Hey. It's okay. I'm here. It's okay.

Who are you?

I guess I'm your brother.

"And he said, what hast thou done?

"The voice of thy brother's blood
crieth unto me from the ground."

You sure about this?

I mean, other than a few e-mails,
we don't even know each other.

I know. That's half the fun.

Hey, you.

Sorry. I've gotta go.

- But you can probably find your way out.
- I wanna call you.

Can I have your number?

No.

But you can e-mail me.

You know, I thought it was a miracle
that I survived that accident

and I guess I never really felt worthy of it.

But now I know that miracle
wasn't for me.

It was for us.

All three of us.

What are you doing in here?

I was just making sure
I'm prepared for my first day.

Relax, Nick. You're a great teacher.

I have a feeling the students
are gonna love you.

Police!

It's okay. I live here.

He's right out here.

Where?
