One Tree Hill (2003–2012): Season 5, Episode 16 - Cryin' Won't Help You Now - full transcript

Lucas confronts Dan's announcement about his life expectancy of only 6 months without a heart transplant. He calls Dan a liar until the cardiologist confirms it. Nathan wrestles with his feelings, and Jamie's burning desire to get...

Previously on One Tree Hill.

Look, I know I screwed up as a father,
but I'd like to be a good grandfather.

Well, you should have thought of that
before you killed Jamie's great-uncle.

- I passed on the Omaha job.
- Marvin.

I feel like I'm good at what I do,
Millicent, and I'll just work hard

and hope the station gives me
another shot.

Are you sure?

That I'm doing the right thing?
I don't know. But about us? Yeah. I'm sure.

I trusted you, all right?

- Quentin, you needed this.
- I needed this?

You know what I needed? A scholarship.



I needed you to keep your mouth shut,
that's what I needed.

Millicent.

They're giving me a baby.

Lindsey, I love you.

I love you, too, Luke, but it takes
more than love to build a marriage.

I'm willing to learn.

This is for you.

You're giving me the beach house.
I don't want it.

Son, I have a bad heart.
I have six months to live.

There were many
who couldn't understand,

and sometimes he walked among them,

but even in his darkest hours,

he knew in his heart
that someday it would return to him...

...and his world would be whole again.



- Daddy, what's wrong with Grandpa Dan?
- What do you mean?

He didn't come to my birthday party.
Everyone else came.

- I really wanted him to come.
- Yeah, I know you did, buddy.

Your party was still pretty cool, right?

Yeah, but Grandpa Dan said he missed me.

Well, you know that old jersey
that you love so much?

- That was from your Grandpa Dan.
- Really? I knew it!

Hey.

Mama, Grandpa Dan got me
this birthday present.

Can I talk to you for a second?

- He's dying, Hales.
- What?

Dan needs a heart transplant.
He says it's his HCM.

He's got six months to live,
maybe not even that.

Do you believe him?
He's not even that old.

I don't know. I mean, it's Dan.

But he's even drawn up a will,

and he's leaving us the beach house,
among other things.

And this time he seemed scared.

I mean, I've seen my father be
a lot of things, Hales, but never scared.

Well, if it is true, at least now we know

why he wants to spend so much time
with Jamie.

Nothing like a ticking clock.

Ticking clock or not,
Dan's not spending any time with Jamie.

Come on, baby girl, give me a smile.

Well, fine. Have it your way,
but we got a big week ahead of us, kid.

Tonight we meet the doctor
who's gonna make you all better.

And tomorrow,
Aunt Millicent's gonna watch you

while I go to my super-duper
important meeting.

Yeah. You gonna be okay without me?

It's open.

Hey, what are you doing here?

What, did you think I was gonna forget
something this important? 7:00, right?

Yeah, 7:00 p. m.
But I appreciate the enthusiasm, Luke.

I am kind of nervous
about the whole hospital thing.

Not really a big fan of hospitals.

- How's it going? Better?
- Yeah. I'm starting to get it down.

She's sleeping through the night now.

See? I told you you'd be a good mama.
Is it what you expected?

It's a lot of work.

A lot more than I ever thought it could be,
but she's so cute.

Oh, God,
that was like the best night's sleep ever.

Luke! Hey. What are you doing here?

He just came by
for Angie's pre-op appointment.

Talk about a gentleman.

Probably should've just called, eh?

- Brooke, I'll pick you up later.
- Sounds good.

Bye, Luke.

You two.

God.

They're silly. Aren't they silly?

He knew there was practice
this morning, right?

I told him.

Okay.

Bring it in.

So, as you can all see,
Q's out for six weeks.

Which means we're gonna have to make it
to the playoffs without him.

Every single one of you is
gonna have to step it up.

Now, there's 12 games
between now and the playoffs.

We can't afford to lose many.
Any questions?

Hey, just because Quentin's injured
doesn't mean the season's over.

Now, here's what I'm expecting
from each and every one of you.

- Q, where you going?
- Ain't nothing here for me now, man.

- Hey, Q, you can't just quit.
- Yeah, I just did.

Mmm. Look what we got,
more squash and peas. Yummy.

She loves it, go figure.

Hey, about that. I just want you to know,
I am available to help with Angie.

It's just my hair's been on fire trying to
get the new recording studio done, and...

It's okay. You are excused from baby duty.

Besides, I kind of like
having the time alone with Angie,

so don't feel bad.

And anyway, Angie's scared
of her creepy Aunt Peyton, isn't she?

- Yes. We like Uncle Lucas better.
- Hey!

I'm kidding! We're kidding, aren't we?
Yes, we are.

I mean, it is pretty great
that he's helping out.

- It's kind of Mr. Mom, but it's nice.
- It's cute.

And anyway, he's still pining over Lindsey,
so I'm helping distract him.

Yeah. Well, speaking of distractions,
I actually have to get going to the studio.

Why? Who's recording?

Oh, just this girl you might know.
Haley James Scott.

Did you hear that, baby girl?
Haley James Scott's making music again.

That's got to be worth a smile. Yeah?

Get out of here, creepy. You're scaring her.

Hello. Come on.

- Marvin, do you have a voodoo doll?
- Excuse me?

That, or did you fix the salmon mousse
in the cafeteria?

My sports on-air is sick as a dog.
He just booted all over the station floor.

- And you want me to clean that up?
- No.

Listen, I know we haven't spoken much
since I took over for Alice.

- And I know you were close with her.
- Pretty close. Yeah.

Anyway, I really like the remote piece
you did on the Ravens.

So how would you like to fill in tomorrow?

Really?

- What about the weekend guy?
- He's okay.

But then,
how would you get your big shot?

I got three slots, 4:00, 5:00 and 6:00.
I need you to do sports for all three.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Oh, and Marvin, I heard
about your Omaha offer.

I think you made the right decision.

Sweet!

Luke, do you have a second?

It's Dan.

He's dying.

Right.

I'm serious. It's something about his heart.

He had Nathan out to the beach house
to tell him.

- And Nathan believes him?
- I think so.

At least, he seems pretty convinced.
Dan drafted up a will and everything.

- What, you think he's lying?
- Of course he's lying!

All right, I'll get into it, okay?
But in the meantime, be careful. All right?

Don't let him suck you and Nathan
back into his life.

I know. I'm with you on that.
But what if he's telling the truth?

What if he really is dying?

Well, then all I have to say is,

it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

- You'll get it back again, trust me.
- What are you doing here?

You told me in the gym
you weren't trying to come back,

but I know you are.
That's what I would do.

- It's not a comeback.
- Sure.

You know, Nathan,
you may just have to face the fact

that you'll never be the same player
you once were.

But that doesn't mean
you still won't be a great player.

You just have to learn
how to play differently.

Reinvent yourself.
The best players always find a way.

- Okay, try again, but slow it down a step...
- Stop it.

- Stop what?
- Following me.

Trying to see Jamie. This. All of it.

Dan, I don't care that you're dying, okay?
This isn't happening.

We're done here.

Nathan, don't hate me because I'm proud
of your accomplishments.

Take it from someone who knows,
you don't wanna live a life of regret.

It's not too late. You can have your dream.
You just have to really want it.

Stop it! Okay? You don't get it, do you?
Just stop it. All of it.

And leave my family alone.

There. Check it out.

How awesome is this, Haley?
It's Red Bedroom Studios.

- Yeah, it's great.
- Hey. What's going on with you?

Nothing. I'm fine. Just... Nothing.
The studio looks awesome.

So, what is it?

- Can I just ask you a personal question?
- Yeah, please do.

If you had the chance
to get to know your real father,

- would you want to?
- Oh, whoa.

I mean, you know, before Ellie,
I probably would've said no,

but she was awesome.

And so, yeah, it does make me kind of
wonder about my real dad sometimes.

But, you know, then again,
what if I meet him and I don't like him?

So, sometimes I think it's just easier
not to know

and go with my own idealized
version of him.

- Yeah.
- Why do you ask?

There's a chance Dan might be dying.

Are you kidding? Does Nathan know?

Yeah, Nathan and Lucas both know,
the problem is with Jamie.

He is obsessed
with getting to know his grandfather,

and if Dan's really sick,
he might not get the chance to do that.

God, Haley, I'm sorry. That's tough, man.

I mean, I will say
that getting to know Ellie changed my life.

And I'm pretty sure
we wouldn't be standing here

if it weren't for her.

Then again, Ellie wasn't Dan Scott.

- Well, you look healthy.
- Come on in, Lucas. Have a seat.

No, that's okay, what I have to say,
I can say from right here.

Well, suit yourself. But you of all people
should take this seriously.

There's nothing wrong with my heart.

And if I know you,
there's nothing wrong with yours, either.

I wish that was true,

but I've got the best cardiologist
money can buy, and even he can't help me.

Dr. Thornton. Call him yourself.

- I might just do that.
- Good.

And when you do,
you'll find out that I'm not lying.

Without a transplant,
I'll be dead within six months.

But you're dead
to so many of us already, Dan.

So really, what does it matter?

So do you wanna put down
the piano scratch track first?

- Yeah, that's perfect.
- Hey.

Who would have thought that one day
we'd be in our own recording studio

- making your next record together?
- On your label.

It's great that you're really enjoying
your work so much, Peyton,

just as long as you're not using it
to hide behind.

What's that supposed to mean?

Look, before the wedding, I told Lucas
that he shouldn't marry Lindsey.

- Why?
- Because I just read his new novel,

and when I did, I knew right away
that he was still in love with you,

- whether he's ready to admit it or not.
- It's a book, okay?

You can't draw those kind of conclusions
from a story.

Really?
What about when I write my music?

Some of my subconscious always ends up
sneaking into my lyrics somewhere.

I don't even notice it until the song's done.

I think Lucas is the same way
with his writing.

Well, I watched him up on that altar,

and it's very clear to me
where his heart lies,

and if I can see it,
I'm not really sure why Lindsey can't.

You know, it's unfair to Luke. He loves her.

I think she's just afraid of the idea of you.
Your history with him.

Think how you'd feel
if the roles were reversed.

Hi, sorry if I kept you waiting.

- Dr. Copeland. You must be Brooke Davis.
- Mmm.

- Clothes, right?
- Yes.

I thought you looked familiar.
Which must make you...

- A friend. Lucas Scott.
- Great.

So, I just wanted to run through
the surgical procedure,

so you can know what to expect.
Are you familiar with Angie's condition?

Not really.
She has a hole in her heart, right?

She has a number of holes, actually.
But we're gonna fix them.

We'll put Angie
under a general anesthesia,

we'll stop her heart,
and then I'll do the repairs.

You have to stop her heart? For how long?

Two hours. Maybe longer,
depending on the extent of her condition.

- Two hours?
- Yes, that's how we do it, Brooke.

Angie will be on a heart and lung machine

which will keep blood and oxygen
circulating in her body.

Then I will graft skin
from another part of her heart

and use it to fix the holes.

How do you intend
to restart Angie's heart?

After the repairs are complete,
we will use an electric shock,

and once she's stabilized,
we'll take her to the ICU,

and you'll be able to see her then.

I know I don't have a choice here,
but this seems so dangerous.

Is there some other way?

I'm sorry, but, no,

there is no other way
to correct Angie's condition.

Dr. Copeland, what's Angie's prognosis
if she didn't have the surgery?

A year, maybe two.

And then what?

She'll die.

Look, Brooke, it's okay to be nervous.

But I just... I want you to focus on
what a great thing it is

- that you're doing for Angie.
- Okay. Thank you.

So, if there are no further questions,
I will see you next week.

Actually, there is one thing.
Do you happen to know a Dr. Thornton?

You're shooting like me now.

Yeah, we both former Ravens now, too.

- What? Why?
- Oh, well, I don't know. Let's see.

This thing?

You're still part of the team, Q.
You can't just quit because you're injured.

You sound like your brother now.

I mean, I expected a little grief from you,

but what's Lucas know
about playing injured, anyway?

Let me tell you something about Lucas.
Lucas played injured his entire senior year.

Cost him a lot of playing time,
but he never gave up on his team.

- And what if they make the playoffs?
- They won't.

Even if they do, man,
it's my shooting hand, Nate.

I ain't gonna be ready
for the scouts anyway.

Well, then, you'll have to learn
how to play differently.

- You have to reinvent your game.
- Reinvent my...

- Man, that ain't that easy, okay?
- Who said it was gonna be easy?

But what are you gonna do?
You gonna quit?

You gonna throw away everything
you ever worked for?

No, I'm not going to, I already did. Okay?

- You know I punched that dude for you?
- Come on.

I've thrown a lot of punches,
and every last one was selfish.

Now, face it, Q,
you punched that guy for you. Deal with it.

We'll nail him!

You're dead, dude. Deal with it.

Hey. These games are so addicting,

I just waxed a 13-year-old kid
from Arkansas. He was pretty upset.

Okay. We're gonna have
to keep an eye on that.

Millie, you won't guess
what happened to me today at work.

- What?
- I'm gonna get a shot

to anchor the sports segments tomorrow.

- No way.
- Yeah, the regular guy's sick,

and the station manager's
giving me a shot.

Marvin, that is great!

Just think of all those people
who are gonna be watching you on TV.

You wanna come?
You could be there at the station?

I wish I could, but Brooke has
her big presentation tomorrow,

and I promised to look after the baby.

But I'll watch every minute of you
on the big screen at the store.

I'm so proud of you, Marvin.
You're gonna do great.

- Mama, where does Grandpa Dan live?
- Why?

I need to thank him
for my birthday present. Can you take me?

Well, I can't do that right now, 'cause...

Well, Grandpa Dan lives at the beach,
and it's getting kind of late.

But I'll tell you what we can do.

You can write your Grandpa Dan
a thank-you note,

- and I will make sure that he gets it.
- Cool.

- I'll write the best thank-you note ever.
- Okay, cool.

That's my girl. Okay.

Okay.

I can't even get her to smile, Luke.
What am I doing?

What if she dies? What then?

What do I tell her parents,
these people that I've never met?

What made me think I could handle this?

Hey. Just remember, you're giving Angie
a chance to live a full, wonderful life.

She couldn't do that without the surgery.

Yeah, I guess so.

Thank you for being here for us.

Thank you for letting me.

In your face, dawg!

- You suck, you know that?
- I do not.

Do, too. You're killing me.

It's true. Dan's dying.

Without a transplant, he's got six months.

- And you're sure?
- I spoke with the cardiologist.

- So what are we gonna do?
- Nothing.

In six months, Dan's out of our lives,
once and for all.

It couldn't happen
to a more deserving guy.

Now, maybe that makes me
the one with the bad heart, but I say

good riddance.

Mark, how about the speed of this club,

getting up and down the court so quickly?

No, no, no, not another three, man.

What, you scared to go to the hole,
little man?

I'm beating you, aren't I?

- Yeah, but why you only shooting threes?
- 'Cause threes are better than twos.

Have I ever told you
that you was a genius lately?

- Not lately. You said I sucked.
- Well, I take it back. You don't suck.

Hi. Hi, sweetie.

Brooke, you're never gonna believe this,

but Marvin's doing the sports segment
on the news.

- Really?
- It's just about to start.

Now, you've got everything
for your meeting, right?

Sketches, sales projections,
textile samples...

Millie, I have it.

It's starting! Look.

But now,
here's Marvin McFadden with sports.

Time to fill out those brackets.

- The top seeds in this are...
- Fadden. Fadden.

With North Carolina's own Blue Devils
finding themselves on top of the East.

- Tar Heels.
- Carolina Tar Heels.

They're not... Duke is the...

To the links, where Tiger Woods
was up to his old tricks again.

Today, Tiger won
the Arnold Hills Invitational at...

Arnold Hill? Who the hell's Arnold Hill?

The Arnold Palmer Invitational
at the Pine Hills Country Club.

That's always the tricky...

That's sports, and I'm

wet.

- That wasn't good, was it?
- At least it's over.

No, it's not. He has two more broadcasts
this afternoon.

Millie, Mouth needs you at the TV station
more than I need you here.

So come on. If we hurry, I can drop you off
and still make it in time.

Come on, baby, let's go.

So, without Quentin,
we have no inside game.

- No defense.
- And no assists.

- I got an idea.
- Yeah? Let's hear it.

I say we push the tempo
and just shoot threes.

Like, almost all threes.

I mean, we still got
some good outside shooters,

and they're in pretty good shape,
so if we push it,

we might just run the score up
high enough

to where we don't need no big man
in the paint.

- Almost all threes, huh?
- Hey, it wasn't my idea, it was him.

That's a good idea, Jamie.

Hey, but see, with that kind of offense,

we're gonna need a really strong player
to distribute the ball, get back on D.

We've already got that player.

Quentin.

Well, I have that breakfast meeting at 7:30.

Come in.

Hi.

I gotta go.

We need to talk.

- What are you doing here, Peyton?
- Okay.

Weird and totally inappropriate of me,

but I'm kind of here for Lucas and for you.

Peyton, I already told you,
there's nothing to say.

Please, hear me out.

'Cause I know that he loves you.
And he hasn't wavered from that.

Yes, he wrote about a comet,

but in his non-fiction life,
he seems very much in love with you.

Have you read the book, Peyton?

I didn't think so.

Because if you had,
you wouldn't be so sure

who Lucas loves and how much.

Lindsey, the book was a work of fiction,

but what wasn't fiction was the fact
that he said "I do" to you in that church.

It's not me that has to make
a decision about Lucas.

It's you.

Go home, Peyton.
Go home and read his book.

All right. Ready?

There it is. Hold your follow-through...

- Daddy!
... every time.

Quentin's teaching me
to shoot left-hand free throws.

Oh, yeah?

You wanted to see me?

Yeah.
Yeah, actually, hold that thought, okay?

Jamie, keep shooting. I'll be right back.

Oh, and hey, Quentin?
You're not quitting the Ravens.

You quit the Ravens?

- Yeah, I got hurt, little man.
- My daddy got hurt, too.

Sometimes it makes him sad.

I'd give anything to see him play again.
I can tell he wants to.

You realize I can make one phone call

and have your parole revoked
for coming around here like this?

Just hear me out, Nathan.

Once I've said my piece,
I'll go and never come back,

- if that's what you want.
- Okay, you got five minutes.

I never told anyone else this before,

but when I was in prison,
I tried to kill myself.

I put a rope around my neck
and I tried to hang myself.

- Dad, I...
- Just let me finish.

When I stepped off that chair,
I'd truly given up on everything.

But then the rope broke,
and I took it as a sign,

a sign that I wasn't finished on this Earth,
that my life wasn't complete.

So you see, I need to fix it.

I need to fix all of it. You. Us.
I need that peace before I die.

Son, let me help you,
with what little time I have left.

Good shot, Q.

Nathan. Please.

Son. Don't deny a dying man his last wish.

McFadden, sports is up.

Hey, are you okay?

- Are you gonna be able to do this?
- He'll be fine.

Aah. I don't know what happened.
I got nervous.

I mean, with the bright lights
and the teleprompters, it's...

- It's different than I expected.
- Marvin, it's okay.

Do you remember what you told me
when you first brought me here?

I can't remember.

You said that sports reminded you
of the greatness we all have inside of us.

You said that on any given day,
an underdog can rise up.

Well, you're my underdog, Marvin.
And you can do this.

20 seconds, McFadden.

This time, when you go back on the air,
just talk to me.

Tune out all the crew,
the people watching, everyone else,

just look at me.

I'll be right behind
that teleprompter thingy.

Okay. And we're back. Five, four, three...

The Bobcats showed much improvement
this year.

And today,
at their annual Fan Appreciation Day,

there was genuine excitement
about what lies ahead.

- Brooke Davis.
- Hi.

So sorry I'm late, everyone.
Something sort of came up.

Excuse me. Just set that down.
Set that here, sorry. We can get started.

Are you sure you're prepared
for this meeting, Miss Davis?

- Perhaps we should reschedule.
- Oh, no. I'm ready to go, I just...

I just need one second. Okay?
I'll be right back.

You must be looking for Lucas.

No, actually, I was looking for you.

Look, all right, I owe you an apology.
I'm sorry.

Man, I said some things
that were just out of line.

I was just upset about my wrist
and I didn't think you had my back.

Quentin, the day you think Lucas and I
don't have your best interests at heart,

that's the day I gotta call you on it.

I mean, you gotta know
that we look at the big picture

and what's best for you.

Now, Lucas and Nathan,
they good people, man,

but you gotta trust us.

And you gotta know
that we gonna do whatever it takes

to get you where you wanna be.

- Yes, sir.
- Okay.

So, about that locker
I cleared out yesterday.

You didn't give it away, did you?

We probably could get that back.

Hey, Q. Apology accepted, man.

Okay, we're in this together.
It's just me and you.

So we have to work like a team, all right?

It's just this is really important to me
and I just get this one shot,

so I'm depending on you. Yeah.

Good. Now, you and I
are gonna go back in that room

and kick a little presentation butt.
All right? You with me?

So, are you with me?

So, we're all just gonna
shoot threes, coach?

For the most part.

I mean, I'm not gonna tell you to pass
on any open lay-ups, but yeah.

I want you shooting the ball
within eight seconds of every possession.

- Got it?
- But we're just shooting threes.

Who's gonna get us the ball?

Me.

Meet your new point guard.

If we're going out,
we're going out together, guns blazing.

All right, "Ravens" on three.

Yeah.

One, two, three...

- Ravens!
- Ravens!

We've gone over the demos,

you've seen what I have planned
for the fall line,

and you've heard why a partnership with
Clothes Over Bro's would be a perfect fit.

But frankly,
I still think there's something missing,

and let me tell you what it is. Her.

Angie represents an underserved
but lucrative market,

and Clothes Over Bro's is about to unveil
a new line to fit that need.

Baby Brooke. The future is now.

This exciting new line
has all the style and hipness

you've come to expect
from Clothes Over Bro's.

It's fun, it's edgy, and every cute baby
is gonna drool for it. Or on it.

It's good, huh? I know.

Why don't you take five minutes, discuss,
and we'll be outside.

Come here, my angel. Yeah.
That's my girl.

Nice work, team.

With star player Quentin Fields
out of action,

we'll have to see
what Coach Lucas Scott has up his sleeve

to get the Ravens on track.

I'm Marvin McFadden, and that's sports.

We'll be right back after this message.

Let's go, let's go. Eight seconds.

Nice! Nice job, Q. With you on point,
this crazy offense might just work. Yes!

- Hey, Coach. Can I get a second?
- Yeah.

Hey, hey, Nate. Hey. Hey, listen.

Listen, I just wanted to say thanks.

It's all good.
Hell, it was Jamie's idea, anyway.

No, I mean, thanks for believing in me.
Thanks for showing me the way back.

Shoot it!
- Just do your best, Q.

I'll do you one better. All right?

I'll make you a deal.
I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna work hard.

- But you need to work hard too. Okay?
Nice shot.

For yourself, for Jamie, you know?
The comeback?

Comeback sucks,
in case you haven't noticed.

Yeah. Look, for now, it does, but...

Look. You saw something in me
before I even saw it in myself.

Maybe this is that.

Couple of hours? Every day?
Practice? You and me?

Okay. Okay, it's a deal.
Just don't call it a comeback.

All right.

That was some comeback, Mouth.

For a while there,
we didn't think you were gonna make it.

Nice work, buddy.

Thank you so much, Millie.
I couldn't have done it without you.

- I didn't do anything. You did it all.
- You helped.

- You wanna try?
- Uh-uh.

Come on.

All you have to do is read
right off the teleprompter in front of you.

Try it.
Hey, guys, can you roll the prompter?

Sure thing.

"Ending the Bulls' run of six wins
with a 101-to-114 loss.

"Thank you Millie for believing in me.

"I love you. Marvin. "

- You love me?
- Yeah, I do.

- I love you, Millicent Huxtable.
- I love you, too, Marvin McFadden.

Look at that. You wrote
your thank-you note to Grandpa Dan, huh?

Well, let's see what you said.

Okay.

- "Dear Grandpa Dan. I had the best... "
- "The best birthday ever.

"Thank you for the great jersey.

"It makes me feel just like my dad
when I wear it.

"I wish you could have been at my party
just like you were there to save me.

"I hope you can come to my next birthday
and all the ones after that.

"I love you. James Lucas Scott, age five. "

- Do you think he'll like it?
- Oh, I think he's gonna love it.

You're a good boy,
James Lucas Scott, age five.

I love you very much.

Bye.

What are we gonna do
about Jamie and Dan?

I don't know.
I just can't believe he's dying.

I mean, as horrible as he's been,
it's hard to imagine him gone for good.

I know nothing's more important
than this family,

but if you need closure with your father,
I understand.

Just be careful.

- Nathan. Come in. Would you like a drink?
- No thanks.

I thought a lot about what you said.
And you were right about a lot of things.

I know I wouldn't have gotten as far
as I have without you pushing me.

And if there's one thing I've learned
over the past four years,

it's that family is important.

You're right, Son.
Our family is the most important thing.

No. I mean my family.

And you're not part of it anymore.
That's what I came here to tell you.

- Nathan, please.
- I'm sorry that you're dying.

But you have to know
I can never forgive you. Not now, not ever.

So that's it.

- You're just gonna make that decision.
- No, Dad.

You made that decision for me
the moment you pulled that trigger.

And his world would be whole again.

And his belief in God, and love, and art

would be reawakened in his heart.

Thank you for being so good today.

We make a pretty good team, me and you.

I know this surgery is really scary,

but I'm gonna be right here for you,
every step of the way, okay?

We're gonna get through this together.

Yeah.

And I know I'm not your real mom,

but I could just use a sign or something
to let me know I'm doing okay.

Okay.

It's you and me, baby.
