One Tree Hill (2003–2012): Season 9, Episode 10 - Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will - full transcript

Having tortured drug dealer Billy within an inch of his life, Dan prepares Nathan's rescue from the killers compound. Julian volunteers to help. Chris Keller soon regrets being dragged along, but contributes. Nathan is utterly weak, so Dan must carry him, only to be surprised by dirty cop Steven, who gets the biggest surprise. Clay is released home and prepares for fatherhood with Quinn and his late wife's memory. Brooke and Tara's café war escalates further, but stalker Xavier changes everything by showing his true, bloodthirsty colors.

Whoa!

No, no.
Is that...

Our friend
the drug dealer.

At least it used to be.

No. No, no, no.
I didn't see that.

I-I don't see that.

You mean him?
There's no "him."

Sure there is...
Well, what's left of him.

He's right there.

You can't...
Okay, he's not...

You can't kill people
in a sound stage...



My sound stage!

You rented it to me.

You said
it wasn't illegal!

I'm not a part of this.
Julian.

There's a dead guy
in my sound stage!

Julian, he's not dead.
He's just...

Well, I guess
he could be dead by now.

I can't go to prison, okay?
You said it yourself.

They'll like me there.

You're not going
to prison.

- I have a family, man!
- Nobody is going to prison.

Will you just calm down?!

Besides, we're the only two
people that know about this.

Is that guy dead?



Okay, three people know.

Four, counting Haley.

We're going to jail.

Rise and shine!

Hey, look.

Front page.

Not your best photo, true,

but still,
front page is good, no?

Before I get large cash,

I have to show
in good faith

that you are still alive
and somewhat well.

Okay.

Open your eyes,
chin up.

Say "the cheese."

Would you like 8x10
or wallet size?

No?

Nathan Scott.

The rest is silence.

No.

Please.

Not the hood.

Because you say "please."

Etiquette counts,
my friend.

Look at this marmaduke.

He... he crazy dog.

Is he dead yet?

I don't think so.

Check his pulse
or something.

He's not dead.

He's right.
He's not dead... yet.

Boy, I'd sure hate
to own this place.

Why? What's that
supposed to mean?

Well, kidnapping,
aggravated assault.

Dude...

Relax.
You shut up.

What are you
doing here, anyway?

Well, I came to help,

but Chris Keller's too pretty
to go to prison.

Yeah, that's what i said.

You said Chris Keller
was pretty?

Nobody's going to prison.

How'd you know
to find us here?

Haley...
I followed her last night.

By the way,
she was looking super fine.

Why?
I don't know.

She had on
this little miniskirt

and these boots.

Why did you follow her?

Oh. I was worried about her
and about Nate.

So I saw you guys
drag the dead body in here.

He's not dead.
Don't say "dead."

I followed her home,

and I watched her cry
in her car.

I assume this guy knows
where Nate is.

Did he tell you?
He told me.

And you're gonna
bring him home?

That's right.
Then I want to help.

Good.

Damn!

Chris Keller was kind of hoping
you'd say no,

like when you offer
to pick up a check.

I was just
being courteous.

You guys understand
what we're doing here, right,

with the dead body in the trunk
and the weapons in the bag?

You realize
this is real, yes?

Yes.

Well, I think
we should go to the cops.

No.

Why not?

'Cause I don't trust them.

Why?

I went there last night...

The warehouse
underneath the interstate.

I studied the guards,

their shift patterns,
entrances, exits.

A patrol car came and left.

You think the cops
are involved?

I don't know.

All I know is, Nathan's
in there and he's alive.

Are you sure...
That he's alive, I mean?

First, why would they guard
the place if he wasn't?

Second, he's my son.

He's alive.

Look, you're right.

This is real.

It's not
gonna be pretty.

These guys are professionals.
There's a half dozen or so.

They're holding Nathan...

My son, your friend,
Haley's husband.

I'm going back there
tonight,

and I'm not leaving
without him.

I need some help.

I'll help you.

It's Nathan.

What about you,
peacock?

C-Chris Keller
needs a little more time!

We don't have time.

Okay, fine, I'll help,

but Chris Keller
wants to go on record

as saying Chris Keller
doesn't like this.

You guys ever shoot?

Ever handled a weapon,
fire a gun, a rifle, anything?

Dan Scott doesn't like
this, either.

I was talking about pens.

The last thing I said to Sara
before she died.

She went to grab a drink,

and I was babbling about the pen
I was using.

And then she was gone.

Sometimes I think
that we waste our words

and we waste our moments

and we don't take the time
to say the things

that are in our hearts
when we have the chance.

You saved me.

I wouldn't have made it
without you.

Well, thank you, baby,
but where'd that come from?

I was just thinking it,
and I wanted to say it.

You're always with me,
Quinn.

Good.

That's right where
I want to be.

It doesn't matter
how far I go, Jamie Scott...

You're always with me.

Even when I'm in some ghetto
in wherever I'm at.

But, uh...

You be good, okay?

Be good to your mom
and Lydia.

Help out around the house.
I'll be home soon.

You're a good man, son.
I love you.

There was
a moment when I was lost...

When they had beaten me

and I decided to beg them
to let me live...

To see my beautiful wife,
my son, and my daughter...

To breathe another breath
and lie in the sun and just...

Live.

But begging them
wouldn't change things.

It would only
give them satisfaction,

and that i wouldn't do.

No.

This would be the job
they carried with them

for the rest of their lives.

This would be the one
they felt guilty about,

their older, fading selves

woke up regretting
in the middle of the night,

trying to quiet their remorse

before their own deaths
were upon them.

So I made a decision...
To give them nothing.

And in that moment,
one word came to mind.

Fortitude.

Whoa-ho-ho.
What happened?

Oh, my God,
you crazy bitch!

Turn around and walk
the hell out of here

before I beat your scrawny ass
with my bare damn hands.

What the hell
are you mad at me for?

Don't play even dumber
with me.

Oh, what,
you think i did this?

Okay, fine.
Call the cops.

My employees tell me
you're the slut

that cried wolf these days
anyway, Brooke.

So make the call... really,
I cannot wait to hear your proof.

I know what I know,

and either you did this

or that psychotic employee
you hired did.

Either way, you are to blame,
so get the hell out!

You are crazy.

Hey.

If you didn't do this,

now yow know
what you're dealing with.

And if you did,

I always knew
what I was dealing with.

Whatever.

Geez!

Oh!
I'm getting closer!

I should get bonus points
for that, right?

Sure.
Maybe one of the bad guys

should just lie down
because you almost shot him.

Yeah, Chris Keller was thinking
he'd be more of a lookout,

like kind of hang back and offer
moral support from afar.

What about you, Julian?

You just want to hang back
and offer moral support, too?

No.

Geez!

You sure you thought
this thing through, Keller?

What's that
supposed to mean?

You say you want
to help Haley.

You have a thing for her.
You have since high school.

So?

So from where I stand,
this is a lose/lose for you.

If you don't bring Nathan back,
you failed her.

If you do,
you lose her anyway.

Once Nathan comes home,
you're out of the picture.

So are you.

Yeah.

Haley told me
all about it.

Once Nathan comes back,
you lose your family.

So, from where I'm standing,
it's worse for you,

because I lose what I never had,
but you had it...

Your son, your grandkids,
all of it.

But here we are.

What about you, Baker?

What's your role
in all this?

Nathan's my friend.

Not really.

I'd say he's more
of an acquaintance.

Nobody's gonna lay down
their life for an acquaintance.

This still about you leaving
your kids in the car?

No.

I need to believe
that there's still justice,

that even now in a world
full of gray

and spin and compromise,

if you choose to do wrong

and you prey on good people
when you do,

someone will stand up
to you.

Someone will take a stand
and fight back.

Nathan's a good man.

He deserves
a good life.

Oh!

Geez!

Yeah,
I want one of those.

Keep practicing.

And then what?

We wait until dark.

Then we fight back.

What are you
thinking about?

Nathan.

You?

Haley and Jamie.

And Lydia.

He's alive.

That's what I
was thinking.

He's alive,
and he'll be coming home soon.

I'm sure of it.

Anything else is just...

It's too impossible
to think about.

Yeah.

He's coming home.

Okay.

That moron goes inside to eat
around this time every night,

then another guard
takes his place.

That gives you
about 30 seconds

to cut the lock on the gate
and get back to the car.

I got this.

Okay, that's good. If you got
this, then I don't have to.

What, you guys
don't watch movies?

The hero always dies
in the movies.

30 seconds... go.

Lock the doors.

What?

Lock the doors!

Let me in.

Don't let him in.

Guys, come on,
the door's locked.

Keller, open the door!

Julian, you have a family.
Go home.

Baby, I can't talk right now.

I am not gonna let him
intimidate me.

Who?

Xavier.

I'm not afraid of him.

Why?
What's going on?

Why are you whispering?
Where are you?

I'm...

In a movie.

Where are you?

I-I'm at the café.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Go back to your movie.

Are you sure
everything's fine?

Yeah.

Xavier wants
to mess with me,

he's gonna have a hell
of a fight on his hands.

Absolutely not, Brooke.

If something's going on,

you need to call the police
or lock up and go home or both.

I know.

Promise me.

Baby,
promise me you'll do that.

I'm just so tired of it.

You know, injustice.

Trust me, I know, okay?
I do.

But I love you,
and I need you safe.

And our boys need you safe.

Okay?

Yeah.

Okay, go home.
I'll see you there.

Okay. I love you.

I love you, too.

We're just...
We're just gonna leave him?!

He'll be fine.

Yeah, but how come he gets
to go and i have to stay?

Maybe we should
switch jobs.

He should go with you.
I should run and hide.

He's got a family.

I might have a family.

Dude, Chris Keller has all kinds
of crazy sex.

Maybe I should just get out
just in case.

You can't.

Why not?

You called shotgun.

- Haley, it's okay.
- Just...

I'll call them.

You go upstairs and relax.
Let me clean this up.

You know, I'm okay.
I don't need any help.

I just want to be alone.

It's gonna be okay.
Haley...

I want to be alone.

I want you
to listen to me,

and I want you to do exactly
what I tell you to do.

In a minute,
you're gonna hear a gunshot.

When you do, I want you
to create a diversion

on this side
of the building.

Okay, diversion.
I got it.

What kind of diversion?

Anything that draws
their attention.

Okay, but...
If I get their attention,

they're gonna chase me
with guns

and really sour looks
on their faces.

Chris Keller
doesn't like that.

Well, maybe you can sing them
one of your songs

and drive them away like you did
most of your fan base.

Whoa!

Okay, I know
we're all keyed up here

and there's a lot
of tension,

but there's no need
to get personal.

A diversion.

A diversion... fine.

I'm just saying, it stings
a little. That's all.

If you can,
leave the killing to me.

I'm already on the list.

Chris Keller
doesn't like this.

Let's go.

Oh, that is so not okay.

All right,
it's gonna take some time

to get to the other side
of the warehouse.

Once you hear a gunshot,
you have one job.

Okay,
create a distraction.

And take out that guy.

Wait, that's two jobs.

It's the same job.

Yeah, but that guy...

Oh, take out
the little guy?

Yeah,
Chris Keller can do that.

I know you're scared,
but the fact you're here

tells me there's a hero
inside you somewhere.

Don't say "hero," man!

Those guys die.

You'll be fine.
Help me with the trunk.

You know,
it's a little late.

Maybe we should
come back.

The neighbors might be asleep,
you know?

I think you're good.

Yeah,
you're probably right.

You sure you don't want
to join me?

No, that's okay.

You two have a lot
to talk about.

But if you need me,
I'm right here.

Okay.

I'm right here
with the doors locked,

but I'm...
I'm right here.

Honk if you need me.

Okay.

Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no...
Not the big guy!

What happened
to the little Marty,

the midget-sized guy?

Come on!

They send drago out?!

Chris Keller
does not like this!

Come on. Come on, come on.

♪ Cradle and all ♪

♪ Cradle and all ♪

I'm not afraid of you.

You should be.

Help!

Do that again,

and I'll slit your throat
before you finish.

What do you want
from me?

What do I want?
I want my freedom back.

You have that.

No!

Okay, okay, okay.

I want every day I spent
in prison back.

Xavier, please...

Don't say my name!

Don't say my name with
that slutty whore's mouth.

I've got other plans
for that mouth.

Until then,
you just shut up and listen,

'cause I've got a few things
I want to say to you.

Okay.

Yeah, you act
all high and mighty,

but you close your eyes
at night

and you pray
for a real man.

Well...

Your prayers are answered,
baby.

You're gonna pay for that!

What's going on
with Kim Kardashian's ass?

Hey!

Okay, create a distraction.

Aah!

Chris Keller's work here
is done!

The bell invites me,

for it is a knell that summons
thee to heaven or to hell!

Okay, okay.

It's okay, son.
I got you.

You know,
my, uh, my father said

that today would be
the greatest day of my life.

And you're right, dad.
It is.

But not because of basketball.

You see, today...

I learned that my wife, Haley,
is pregnant.

And, um...

And while it's a great honor

to be recruited
to play at Duke,

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's and, uh...

And my family's best interests
at heart.

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

Now, my wife
couldn't be here tonight,

so I just wanted to say
one thing.

Haley...

No matter what happens,
we'll face it together.

But I promise you,
I've never been more happy.

And everything's
gonna be okay.

I love you.

How you doing, son?

I'm okay.

You think you can
walk out of here?

Yeah, I can do it.

And if we have to run?

I don't know.

Well, you were in that chair
a long time,

but I'm gonna
get us out of here

even if I have to
carry you out.

I carried that douche bag
drug dealer in here.

I'm gonna carry you out.

Hold on.

Hey. Hey.

There's a door
through there.

It's all wide-open space,

but if we can make it across
to that door, we're home free.

Then that's what
we're gonna do.

Let me take a look.

Okay.

Boo!

Help!

Somebody help me!

It's empty.

It's empty, son.

They don't know that.

You ready?

Yeah.

Nathan.

You're my son.

I'm not gonna let anything
happen to you.

I promise.

Let's go.

Dad.

It's good to see you.

Why?

Why?!

"Why?"

There is no why.

There's only what I want.

No reason.

No justice.

No...

Divine intervention.

There's only you, me,

and that wild, so-betrayed look
in your eyes.

That look... that's why.

That same look...

That friend of yours had
right before I killed him...

...in the gas station.

It's that moment that you know
and accept...

That this is it.

This is really
happening.

And no one's
gonna save you.

Oh, my God.
That guy is creepy.

Are you okay?

No one's gonna save you!

Son.

Dad...

Come on, I got you.

Wait here.

And curtain!

No!

I'm sorry, son.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Dad... whoa, whoa.

No, no, no.

So messy.

You know, is probably lesson
to be learned here about greed.

Your father, dead.

My friends, dead.

Your people, my people.

One difference...

You will join them.

I will not.

The death I gave him.

Thus bad begins...

And worse remains behind.

Like the father, the son.

Bravo!
Bravo.

You have the right
to drop that.

What the hell, dude?
This was supposed to be easy.

You grab some dork,
kill him, get paid,

maybe seduce his wife
at some point.

I mean, come on!

Do I have to do
everything myself?

Hey.

Dad?

"Dad."

I can hear him now...
