One Tree Hill (2003–2012): Season 5, Episode 17 - Hate Is Safer Than Love - full transcript

Dan finds out he is second in line to receive a heart...and the Reverend is first. Peyton gives Mia the details of her next tour. Lucas tells Peyton he hates her.

NARRA TOR: Previously on One Tree Hill.

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

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

(DON'TFORGETSISTER PLAYING)

DR. COPELAND: We'll put Angie
under a general anesthesia,

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

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

It's you.

Go home and read his book.

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

For the most part.



Who's gonna get us the ball?

Me.

DAN: I need to fix it.

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

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

Don't deny a dying man his last wish.

I can never forgive you. Not now, not ever.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

- Out of bounds. Warrior ball.
- LUKE: What?

You're kidding me.

On the street, that's assault.
You don't even call that a foul in here?

Brooke?

Hey, Mom?

(EX CLAIMS)



(PHONE RINGING)

WOMAN: Hi, I'm calling from
Dr. Copeland's office for Brooke Davis.

Brooke, it's urgent that you call us...

Hello?

Yeah, no, sure, just... Brooke!

It's Angie's surgery!

(SIGHING)

Okay, tell me again
why Angie's surgery is so last-minute?

'Cause it's all done on a volunteer basis.
The surgeons donate their services,

so it depends on when they have an
opening, and the right medical team,

and everything.
I just didn't think it was gonna be today.

- Well, what can I do?
- You're doing it. Thank you.

But would you mind calling Lucas for me?
He's just gotten so attached to Angie

- and I think he's gonna wanna know.
- Yeah. Sure. I'll be back.

Okay. Hey, come on.

LUKE: Hey, Coach.

Hey. Thanks for the coffee.

What's up, man?

You know.
I was just thinking, maybe we could

go over tonight's game plan
one more time?

Luke, it's gonna work, bro.

And if it don't, they'll just
fire the head coach and hire me, right?

Win-win.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

- So, what else is bothering you?
- Nothing. Why?

'Cause you got that
something-else-is-bothering-me look.

Come on, keep it real. Talk to your boy.

Nothing. I just...

I haven't heard from Lindsey in a while,
you know, maybe a week, and I...

I mean, it's one thing for her
to give me the key back,

but, I mean, she's still editing my book.
I think she's ducking me.

No, she ain't ducking you, bro.
She probably just busy.

Yeah. I just wish she'd call, you know?

Lt'll be okay, man.

But until then, you know what heals
a broken heart more than anything?

Hmm.

Bacon.

You smell that? Thank God for Millicent.
Come on, man.

(LAUGHING)

- Knock, knock.
- Who's there?

A dad who's gonna leave without you if
you don't drag your lazy bones out of bed.

No, it's okay.

- I'm ready.
- I can see that.

- Hey, Daddy. Knock, knock.
- Who's there?

- "Ya."
- "Ya" who?

Yahoo! There's a Ravens game tonight.

That's right. So we gotta get going.
Come on.

Okay, I just gotta get my cape.

Brooke.

Hi. Big day, huh?

- How are you holding up?
- I'm nervous.

Please tell me you're not.
You're not nervous.

She's gonna do great, okay? So are you.

- Dr. Copeland? We're all set.
- Okay. This is gonna take a little while.

But as soon as I'm done,
I will come out and let you know. Okay?

Okay.

- Nurse Leigh's gonna take Angie now.
- Okay.

Hey. Hey, sweet girl.

The nice nurse is gonna take you
for your surgery now, okay?

But nothing is gonna happen to you.
I promise.

Okay? They're just gonna take you
and make you better.

Yeah, you're gonna be all better, okay?

Dr. Copeland?

What's your name? Your first name?

Just try to relax, Brooke, okay?
She's in good hands.

Okay.

(ONE MORE TIMEPLAYING)

How you doing, Dad?

- Hanging in there.
- You sure?

'Cause it feels
like we kind of slowed down.

No. We're good.

Maybe we should turn around
and go back.

What, you don't think
I can make it up this hill?

I'm not supposed to lie, right?

Watch your old man work.

Come on, Dad. You can do it. Run!

You made it halfway up.
Well, almost halfway.

I don't know, James.

We got a long way to go
if I'm ever gonna play basketball again.

I keep trying to do the things I used to do,
and my body's just telling me I can't.

I think you can.

- Thanks, buddy.
- You wanna borrow my cape?

Yeah, you know what?
I think I might need that.

All right. Thank you.

You know what else I'm gonna need?

That scooter.

(LAUGHING)

Hey! You get back here!

(WOMAN CHA TTERING ON PA)

- (SIGHING) How long has it been?
- About an hour.

- But you said that last time I asked.
- I know, honey. You asked 30 seconds ago.

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

Hey. I know you're nervous.
She's gonna be fine.

Yeah.

- You should get going.
- I'm good.

- Peyton, I know you have a big day today.
- Okay, well,

then tomorrow will just be a bigger day.

I don't even know his first name.
Dr. Copeland.

I hope it's something nice.
Not, like, a last name for a first name.

You know, like Monroe, or Madison.

- Lucas.
- Yeah, really.

No, no, I mean, Lucas is here. He's...

Brooke, I'm so sorry. I left my cell phone
at home. How's she doing?

I don't know.
They said it was gonna take a while,

and that they'd let me know
as soon as she was out of surgery.

Okay, well, then I'll just wait here
with you, if that's okay.

Yeah, thanks. I'd like that.
Considering Peyton has to go.

- Brooke...
- P. Sawyer, I love you.

But I know your day's insane,
and I will feel better

if at least one of us is getting
something done besides waiting, so...

- Please? For me?
- (SIGHING) All right. You call me first thing.

I will. Thank you.

- Bye, Peyton.
- Bye, Luke.

Over the next couple of months
you're gonna start to feel sluggish.

It's important not to push it.
There is some good news, though.

What? I've got seven months to live
instead of six?

Because of your physical size
and blood type,

you're number two on the donor
recipient list for a compatible heart.

Carry this pager with you 24 hours a day.

If a heart becomes available,
we'll have about six hours to place it.

Number two, huh? What's it gonna cost
for me to get to number one?

Well, I'm pretty certain Reverend Carter
isn't willing to barter with his life.

He's in pretty bad shape. Good man, too.

Good man? What's that
supposed to mean, "Good man"?

We're not allowed to discriminate
when it comes to saving lives, Dan.

If the heart fits, my job is
to place it into whoever needs it.

Oh, I see. It doesn't matter
if they're miracle workers or murderers.

- Hey, sorry.
- It's okay. How's Brooke?

Scared to death, but trying to be brave.

- I feel like I should go by and see her.
- No, no, no. I already told you.

You are under strict orders
not to go anywhere

until you have recorded at least one song.

All right, fine. Even in a crisis she's bossy.

MIA: Maybe I just don't like Peyton.

Oh, damn. Was that talkback on again?

(HALEYLAUGHS)

You wanna take care of that
for me, baller?

Grandma, I mean, Nanny Deb'll do it.

- Dude, Nanny Deb is not your maid.
- Actually, she kind of is.

Well, you can still pick up after yourself.
Recycling. Now, you little knucklehead.

(NATHAN GRUNTING)

This is so great, you guys.
Look at you go, Peyton.

Me? Look at you go.

You've sold nearly 100,000 copies, dude.

Well, hey, man, that's you and Haley
and that creepy label guy from L.A.

That you have some sort of
weird sexual tension with.

- Ew. No, I don't!
- You kind of do.

What about you, rock star?
You got any flings we can scold you about

- while secretly wanting to hear more?
- Oh, you know how it is, Haley.

It's a different city every night,
and press in the morning.

I can't even imagine having a date,
let alone an actual relationship.

Well, you have plenty of time for boys.
You are, what, like, 18 years old?

Oh, speaking of,
do you wanna do a PSA for Rock the Vote?

- Hell, yes! That's so cool!
- All right, cool. We'll set it up. Come here.

- It's really good to see you, buddy.
- You, too.

- You coming, Haley?
- Yeah, I'll be right there.

Okay.

You naughty man.

Hey, Mom? Oh!

Damn it, Mom!

Doesn't anyone knock around here? Jeez!

(SIGHING)

Jeez, Mom. What if Jamie had walked in?

I thought the door was locked. Besides,
you said you were going for a run.

- Well, Jamie got tired.
- Hmm.

Okay, fine. I got tired. But that's not
the point, Mom. What were you doing?

- I met someone. Online.
- Ugh. Who?

I don't know, exactly.
We've never seen each other.

- Well, he's seen parts of me, but...
- Stop, okay, Mom?

You're chatting with
some stranger on the Internet?

He's very romantic, he's sensual.

- We're arranging to meet soon.
- Come on, Mom. This is just weird.

- What is so weird about it?
- You don't think it's weird

that you're hiding in my spare bedroom,
flashing some webcam?

I wasn't hiding.

Besides, all those times
you locked yourself in the bathroom

- when you were twelve?
- Okay, stop.

- I knew what you were doing.
- Mom.

You were in there all the time.

- Where is Jamie, anyway?
- I don't know.

I guess I lost track of him
when you blinded me. Ugh.

Jamie!

(IN MYARMS PLAYING)

Your baby blues, so full of wonder

Jamie?

Your contagious smile

James Lucas Scott, what are you doing
out on the street alone?

And as I watch, you start to grow up

Come on, get in.

All I can do is hold you tight

Knowing

But you will be safe in my arms

I never told her I love her. I just...

I never said it.

Look, I'm sure when Angie's in your arms,
she knows it.

Most of the time, love doesn't
really need words, you know?

Yeah.

So, what's going on with you and Owen?

Nothing, apparently.
What's going on with you and Lindsey?

Nothing, apparently.

(CHUCKLES)

I don't know.
We haven't spoken for over a week.

- She hasn't returned my calls.
- That sucks, Luke. I'm sorry.

You should get out of here.
You've got that game tonight.

I'm okay for a little while longer.

I'll go get us some coffees.

She'll be in touch.

Lindsey.

- I wouldn't read too much into it.
- Yeah.

I'm okay for a little while longer.

(ELEPHANTS AS BIG AS WHALES PLAYING)

I'm sorry that I didn't mail your card
to your grandfather.

I was just trying to protect you, buddy.

(HALEY SIGHS)

You might be mad at me for that,
or you might not understand it,

but Dan is a bad person.

I'm sorry, buddy.

I just wanted him to know
that he still had a friend.

Everyone should have a friend.

That big cloud looks like a sheep dog.

(LAUGHS)

I kind of think it looks like cotton candy.

You shouldn't lie to me, Mama.

I know, buddy.

(SIGHING)

I'm sorry, you're right.

I promise I will try to explain things better
from now on, okay?

Okay.

- Oh, I love you, Son.
- I know. I love you, too.

(CHUCKLES)

You sat around and borrowed money

I offered you a job trying to be funny

It worked out, but only at first

Brooke?

The operation went very smoothly.
Angie did great.

Is she gonna be okay?

She is in recovery now
and we are assisting her breathing,

but she's stable, and all indications are
she's gonna be just fine.

Thank you.

Brooke?

She's gonna be okay.

Who's to blame? Lack of power?

And I don't mind that you're not here

Dr. Copeland?

Thank you for fixing her.

The eye in the sky is watching
your every single move

You're welcome.

You, too.

Every single move

This year was a year of firsts for me.
First tour bus, first single on the radio,

and the first time that I got to vote.
And that pretty much rocked.

People tell me that my voice is a gift.
Well, so is yours.

So use it, let it be heard,
and rock the vote.

You were perfect.
And by the way, great album.

Thanks.

- Thanks, guys.
- MAN: No problem. See you, Mia.

So, speaking of tour buses,
say it with me, now:

The Starburst
Thursday Night Concert Series.

The Starburst Thursday Night
Concert Series. Which is what?

Which is a summer tour at Six Flags.
It's cool.

They've got a lot of really good bands,
and I figured...

I love Starbursts,
and I love roller coasters...

Exactly. It is very you.

- Sounds awesome. What color you want?
- Orange.

(CELL PHONE BUZZING)

I'm going red.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hey, Millicent. What?

Yeah, no, I'll be right there.

(NEWS TO MEPLAYING)

Everything gets broken

Most things can't be fixed

Even the worst of it just
takes a bit of persistence

Haley, don't do it!
You've got too much to live for!

Dude, Millicent calls,
says you're depressed-looking,

you're headed to the roof,
I get all freaked out.

What's going on, foxy?

I found my five-year-old son
walking alone on the street today.

You know why? 'Cause I'd lied to him.

I'm worried I'm wasting your time
with this record, Peyton.

No, Haley, the record's gonna be great.

Well, I hope so, but what about after that?

Mia said that her life is so nomadic that
she can't even imagine having a family,

let alone a serious relationship.
I have a husband and a son who need me,

and a classroom full of students.

Okay, Haley. It's not wrong for you to
want what you want. And you're not Mia.

But I used to be. Do you remember
how hard that was on my relationship?

All right, so this time it won't be.
'Cause this time you'll do it differently.

And this time I'll help you.

I like your water balloon.

(CHUCKLING)

Yeah, Lucas and I used to come up here
and throw some off the roof on a bad day.

What? At who?

Little kids. Mean people. You know.

You'd be surprised at
how good it makes you feel.

Speaking of mean people...

- We were just kids then, right?
- Yes, you're too mature

to be doing that stuff now.

(SIGHS)

But I'm not!

(PEYTON SCREAMING)

Dude! The guy's gotta have
a heart transplant. He's gonna drop dead!

But you didn't tell me that.
But you were right, it really was fun.

(LAUGHING)

You wanted to see me, sir?

I hear the Ravens might be playing
Quentin Fields tonight,

- broken wrist and all.
- Yeah, I think so. Should be a big game.

- So grab a camera and go get me a story.
- Really? I mean, thank you, sir.

Marvin.

We've decided to give you a shot here.
Don't let us down.

I won't. You can count on me.

(RUN (I'M A NA TURAL DISASTER)
PLAYING)

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

Hey, Scott.

You really gonna play a kid with one hand

against the best backcourt
in the conference?

SKILLS: Let's go, fellas. That's what
I'm talking about. Keep up the work.

All right, Q, let's go! Push it!

- Let's go, let's go, let's go.
- Full court press!

Pick 'em up. Come on, defense.

Come on, now, they can't defend
a full court. Let's go. Let's go! Let's go!

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

D up! Full court! Go, go, go!

You can't keep this up for long.

There you go, right there. Right there.
I told you. I told you.

Subs.

What is this, hockey?

(LAUGHING)

No, it's your worst nightmare.

Check your records for three-point
field goals attempted and made in half.

Ten seconds, ten seconds.
Move your feet.

- Defense! Defense! Come on! Defense!
- CROWD: Eight, seven, six, five...

- LUKE: Shoot it! Shoot!
...four, three, two...

(BUZZER SOUNDING)

Q! How you doing?

Man, who came up
with this crazy plan, anyway?

'Cause I like it.

(LAUGHING)

Yeah!

Good game, gentlemen.

- Let's go, fellas. We halfway there, baby.
- Yeah, team. Keep it up.

Yeah, what he said. Q, great half.
Strong play.

- SKILLS: Let's go, baby. We could win this.
- You guys got one more half.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Lindsey.

Hi.

No, I mean,
I'm at halftime of a game, but...

I'm just so glad you called. I...

I was beginning to worry.

Yeah, we're up by seven.

(SIGHING) Oh, I miss you so much.

Oh.

Come on, defense. Move your feet.

(HEARTA TTACKPLAYING)

Damn it, Q. Cut off the baseline.

- Q, you gotta get there.
- Coach, I can barely breathe right now.

Yeah, well, pick it up
or I'll find someone who wants to play.

Luke.

Unbelievable. Time out!

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

All right, look. I know you're tired.

Okay? But nothing in this life comes easy.
You hear me? Nothing.

So suck it up.

Now, we got three minutes left,
we're up by nine points.

Finish it. You hear me?
We are not gonna lose this game.

- Ravens on three.
- No.

"Bear Creek sucks."

One, two, three...

- Bear Creek sucks!
- Bear Creek sucks!

You hear that? They're taunting you.
And they're right.

- Their point guard only has one hand.
- Yeah, but it's a good hand, Coach.

All right. Here's what we're gonna do.
Whenever he gets the ball, you foul him.

He'll either miss his free throws,
or we'll break his other hand.

All right, let's go.
"Four and nine," on three.

One, two, three!

- Four and nine!
- Four and nine!

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

Ref, that's flagrant.

No, sir. It's one on one.

Hey, they playing Hack-A-Shaq.
They gonna send Q to the line

and make him shoot
left-handed free throws.

Real nice.

Come on, Q.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

- Good shooting, Q.
- Let's go, baby. One more.

Ronnie. Come here.

- Take out that wrist, Ronnie.
- I got it.

Come on!

- Out of bounds. Warrior ball.
- What?

You're kidding me.

On the street, that's assault.
You don't even call that a foul in here?

Technical foul.

SKILLS: Luke.
LUKE: Oh, you're gonna T me up?

You blow the call
and you're gonna T me up?

- You're gonna get tossed, son.
- Throw his dumb ass out.

- I'll throw you out like a punk.
- Jamie, you stay here with Mouth.

Yo! Come here!
Yo, yo, yo, yo, back up! Get back!

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

- What the hell happened?
- That kid intentionally tried to hurt Q

- and you saw it.
- I know, but Luke, you grabbed him, man.

I should have knocked him out! God!

(SIGHS)

This is really bad, Luke.

She's seeing someone else.

Lindsey. She called at halftime.

I can't believe it.

She's supposed to come back to me.

Luke, I know you don't wanna hear this,
but what if she doesn't?

I mean, what if she's not going to?
You can't wait around forever.

Maybe it's...

Maybe it's time to move on.

She's supposed to come back.

- Hi. Did you win?
- I don't know.

- What?
- How's Angie?

She's stronger than I am.
She's breathing on her own.

They said she's doing great.

- That's good. That's really good, Brooke.
- Yeah.

Listen, I appreciate that you came by,

but they said I'm the only one
who's allowed to be in here after hours.

That's okay. I...

- Lindsey called.
- See? That's great, Luke.

You thought she was avoiding you.

Yeah.

Well. I'll see you.

Hey.

What do you mean,
you don't know if you won or not tonight?

I meant, I don't know if the team won.

But I lost. I know that for sure.

So. Am I allowed to ask
what's going on with you and Lucas,

or is that kind of like saying "Voldemort"?

There's really not much to say, you know?

It's not the easiest thing in the world
for him to talk about.

Well, you know what works?
Get him drunk.

- Is this the 18-year-old?
- I'm just saying.

You know how it is. Guys always
tell the truth when they're wasted.

Says the 18-year-old.

(10,000 STONES PLAYING)

My days are filled with mistakes

Some that I didn't make

I carry them around

Some people don't feel a thing

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Some kind of blissful dream

Wish I could live that now

Oh, I wish I could live that now

JAMIE: How come Uncle Lucas
was so mad, Mama?

- The Ravens won the game.
- Oh, I don't know, Jim-Bob.

Uncle Lucas won't call me back.

Hey, look! There's Grandpa!

10,000 stones would build the best of me

I have an idea.

Why don't you go give your card
to your grandpa?

Grandpa Dan!

I've seen a lot in my life

I've seen two wrongs make a right

You're my best friend. Thank you.

I know that you got your plans

Go see your pop, okay?

- Thank you, Haley.
- That wasn't for you, that was for him.

I was never asking

It's a big story, Bill.
We could lead with this.

Marvin.

Tell me you got some great footage
of Lucas Scott grabbing that kid.

I...

I didn't get it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

I told you he wasn't ready.

Hey. Are you sure
you don't want me to stay?

I wanna surprise you.

Besides, this way, in the morning, it'll be
like the cover-song elves were here.

Okay, well, just call
if you need anything, okay?

Yeah.

Mia. You had a really big day today.

With, you know, the Starburst tour
and Rock the Vote.

And I really want you to know
I am so proud of you.

Peyton. Thank you.

- For what?
- For my life. I love it.

Mia, your songs were always great.

You were always great. I just
pointed people towards the greatness.

Sing good, rock star.

10,000 stones are hanging deep in my heart

No, I don't know
how they don't tear me apart

How could I ever believe

10,000 stones would save the fool in me

Luke! Hey! Luke?

Hey, come on.

(GRUNTING)

Come on.

- Hey, what are you doing here so late?
- Hey. I'm not exactly sure, actually.

I'm really happy for you, Mia.
All your success, it's just...

I think maybe I'm also a little jealous.

- Really?
- Yeah.

That's so weird. I'm jealous of you.

Yeah. It's like, I look at you and think,

if four years from now,
I have this great guy and a beautiful son,

and I'm about to make
what's gonna be an amazing record,

I'm gonna consider myself
really damn lucky.

Thank you.

Now, I know why I came here!

(LAUGHING)

(DAMN PLAYING)

Okay, look for the rose.

- NotebookerT?
- DebutantBall?

- Antwon. Oh, no.
- Oh, yeah.

- You said you were older.
- Hey, you said you was younger.

Well, I showed you...

- Things.
- Yes, you did.

Okay, this is really awkward. I mean,
obviously, nothing can happen here.

- I mean, because it can't.
- You right. Nothing can happen.

- Nothing.
- Absolutely nothing.

What's one night
between two consenting adults, right?

- Maybe one night and the next morning.
- Oh, my.

(HALLELUJAH PLAYING)

(SINGING) Well, I've heard
there was a sacred chord

David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall

And the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

- It's gonna be bad for Coach, isn't it?
- Yeah. It's already bad.

LUKE: You blow the call
and you're gonna Tme up?

Well, your faith was strong
but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you

And she tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne

She cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hi, Mama. Everything okay?

Hey, buddy. Everything's perfect.
Thank you. You're so handsome.

- Hey, you.
- Hi, baby.

(HALEY SIGHING)

Well, baby, I have been here before

I've seen this room
and I've walked this floor

You know,
I used to live alone before I knew ya

- Hey.
- Hi.

You should get some sleep.

No, I wanna be here
when she opens her eyes.

DR. COPELAND: It's
a pretty great feeling, isn't it?

- It's why I became a surgeon.
- Why's that?

To give people their lives back.

She'll recover, and you'll send her back
to her parents,

but the day she gets accepted to college,
she'll have you to thank.

The day she gets married,
becomes something great,

has children of her own,

she'll think,

"Brooke Davis got me here.
She gave me this."

And Dr. Copeland, too.

It's Ethan, by the way. My first name.

Thank you, Ethan.

You're welcome, Brooke.

And remember when I moved in you

The holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Doc was right. You are in bad shape.

Excuse me, it's after hours.
Are you a relative of Reverend Carter?

Not a relative, no.

But he's number one on my list.

Well, maybe there is a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody
who outdrew you

And it's not a cry that you hear at night

Oh, Luke. I'm so sorry.

I didn't want this for you.

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Peyton?

I hate you.

What?

I wish you never came back.

You ruined my life.
