One Tree Hill (2003–2012): Season 9, Episode 8 - A Rush of Blood to the Head - full transcript

Clay, you have what's called
a dissociative fugue disorder.

You temporarily become
someone else.

Why is there a kid here?

He lost his parents.

He stays with us sometimes.
We try to help him.

I'm Clay.

Logan.

I just fell off that stupid bike
you gave me, that's all.

Well, let me see.

Does your mom
know about this?

No. And you can't
tell her, okay?



Okay, it looks like Natan Scott
was on flight 2326 last night.

I just want to go about
my business and live my life.

I'm sorry
for what I done to you.

How's that for a comeback, huh?

Good news.

We've reached
new financial agreement.

So they send
more money...

and then you die.

just like a mile ♪

I know what that guy
will feel like in the morning.



Who was he?

A lead.

And?

We'll see.

So, what now?

Now I go back to prison.

♪ Well, there goes my girl ♪

♪ into the chapel ♪

♪ now she's walking down the aisle ♪
Can I please have an application?

Sure...

They say I need a job
now I'm on parole.

I guess they didn't find
your little speech

as moving as I did.

So, what do you say?
I'll be the best employee ever.

That position
has been filled.

I just watched you
put up that sign.

Well, now you can watch me
take it down.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

more power.

But I don't want to
crash it.

Don't worry.
We could just fix it.

You sure?

Come on.

You have to try at least,
or else you'll never do it.

All right.

Okay, you were right.

This is much cooler
than keeping it on the shelf.

Try a cobra.

Coming right up.

Yeah!

No.

That... was... awesome!

That was pretty awesome.

Wait up.

Miss Lauren.

Damn,
you look good, girl.

Damn,
you look good, girl.

Oh, damn.

Dude, shouldn't you be,

uh, like, prepping tric
or something right now?

Nope. Last night
was my last shift.

Wait, today's the day?

Today is the day.

You know what this means,
right?

Oh, man.
No.

No strip club today.

I literally have to report
for duty tonight,

and I haven't even packed.

Dude, are you scared?
'Cause I'm not gonna lie.

If it was Chris Keller,

I'd be in Canada
right "aboot" now, eh?

That's why Chris Keller
didn't enlist in the air force.

Yeah, that's one
of several reasons,

the biggest being
no access to fine tail.

Ooh.

Are there gonna be girls
in your clan or troop

or whatever you call it?

I-I don't know.
Maybe.

Ooh, what if it's
your lieutenant

or your, um, commander-in-chief
or something?

Dude,
what if she's super hot?

Oh, bro,
we need a game plan...

Dude!
Stop.

All right.
All right.

I'll keep this little fantasy
to myself.

For later.

What's wrong, man?
You are worried, aren't you?

I'm not worried about
going overseas.

I'm just worried about
Chuck.

I wish I didn't have to
leave right now.

Dude, don't worry about
kid Keller, man.

He's gonna be cool.

I don't know, man.

He was just so weird
last night...

Lying about his dad
and his bruises.

Whoa, dude. Careful of jumping
to conclusions on something like that.

Kids get bruises.

Besides,
he's probably just lying

'cause he wants his dad
to seem cool.

Yeah.

Okay. So, what do you
want to do now?

Do you want to watch
another movie?

Quinn, listen, I really
appreciate what you're doing,

but nothing's gonna take
my mind off of Nathan.

I know.

I just think that you should
try to think positive

and not let your mind wander
to those worst places.

I'm doing
the best that I can,

but every day that goes by
without me hearing anything,

the more
that I feel like...

I just keep praying for
that phone to ring

and somebody to tell me tat
he's okay and he's coming home.

Hello?

Yes, it is.

Yeah.

They found someone.

They think
it might be Nathan.

I'm supposed to go
identify the body.

Man, buddy. I'm so sorry
for crashing your plane.

I don't know
what happened.

Who cares?

That was the coolest thing
I have ever seen.

Ever? Really?

I guess you are
only like 2.

Nuh-unh!

Want to come help me
put this thing back together?

Most definitely.

Ooh, but I have to go see
Dr. Alvarez first.

But, you know,
maybe I'll blow him off.

I don't feel like going
up there anyway.

♪... On a mighty fine day ♪

why?

Don't you like Dr. A?

Yeah, he's okay,

but he's always working me over
with really hard questions

I don't like to answer.

Well, I like him...
And the suckers he gives out.

Oh, those suckers
are clutch.

I think he's just trying to
help all of us.

Plus, he said I might be done
coming here for a while.

You're leaving me?

That's not fair.
How come you get to go?

Probably because I answer
all the questions he asks me.

Yeah.

Hey, baby.

what's going on?

He came to the restaurant
this morning.

- Who did?
- Xavier.

They let him out
last night.

He just... stared at me,

like he wanted to do
something awful.

He's just a low-life
who's trying to scare you.

This is different
than last time.

We have
two defenseless babies now.

I know, but don't let him
freak you out.

Besides, if he shows up again,
I'll kick his ass.

Chuck isn't here
right now.

Uh, that's fine.

I was actually hoping
to talk to you.

Okay.

Has everything been okay
at home lately?

I mean, I know
Chuck's dad is back...

Why are you
asking me that?

It's...

It's just I saw some bruises
on Chuck, and...

No. It's nothing
like that.

Nothing like what?

Like whatever
you're trying to say.

Mrs. Scolnik,
it's me.

If there's anything
you need to tell me, you can.

You need to go.

What's the babysitter
doing here?

I was telling Mrs. Scolnik

I noticed some bruises
on huck.

He told me
they were from his bike,

but it doesn't make sense.

- You calling my son a liar?
- No.

I was just wondering...

Are you accusing me
of something?

You know what? Why don't you
get the hell out of here?

And don't bother coming back,
neither.

your fall ♪

♪ or ever help you at all ♪

if I do find out
those bruises

are from anything
other than a bike,

I will absolutely be
coming back here,

and the next visit won't be
quite so cordial.

Nathan...

From the second I heard
those words, "we found a body""

my eart sank.

I couldn't move.
I couldn't think.

And now that I've managed to
at least move,

all I can think about

is one moment you and I
shared years ago.

Over and over,

that same insignificant moment
repeats in my head.

I-I can't tell you why.

It was your birthday,

your first year
playing for Maryland.

Jamie must have been 2.

♪ surrounds me ♪

you said you didn't want to
do anything,

but I insisted on at least
having your favorite ice cream.

You remember this?

When I brought back
mint chocolate chip

and you asked why I thought
that was your favorite,

I was so confused.

Any time we had gotten
ice cream together,

that's what you always chose.

But... you told me rocky road
was your favorite.

And you looked at me
so tenderly, Nathan,

and you said you always chose
mint chocolate chip

because you knew it was
my favorite flavor.

Thank God

So, I hear officer burns
had an accident.

How'd you know about that?

He and I had a little
conversation last night.

Is that right?

Yeah. More or less.

I hear you talk him
into a coma.

I can be very convincing.

Well, we all appreciate
what you said

to that sadistic bastard.

I hated that son of a bitch
when I was in here.

I know you did, too,
so you're welcome.

I assume
this little gift of yours

comes with conditions,
huh?

It's about my son.

You got a bottle of clarity
back there?

I got something
I need to work out.

Uh, I wish I could.

I got called to active duty,
so I'm no longer bar manager.

I thought you was
just a bartender.

Okay.

Since it is you
and you clearly need an ear,

guess I could serve one last drink

and listen to
one last problem.

Mm. Good man, chase.
You're a good man.

So, what's up?

Okay. You know me and Lauren
used to date, right?

Well, every once in a while,
we'll still, you know...

What?

You know.

Hang out?
Tandem bike rides?

You had a book club?
What?

Dude, really?

I'm screwing with you.
So, what's your problem?

Well, I've been gone,

and we haven't, you know,
in a while.

I saw her today,
and she was pregnant.

I'm talking about
big-as-a-house pregnant.

Man, I guess that explains why
she was acting a little weird

the last few months
when I called or texted.

So, what should I do?

I'm gonna go really far out
on a limb here

and say you should
go talk to her.

Damn, you good, dawg.

I see why they let you manage
this place.

So, what if it is yours?

Then I'm gonna man up.

Hell, I'm not about to be
a bad father.

There's already too many
of those out there as it is.

You're right about that.

I tell you one thing,
though.

I did not expect to
wake up today

and find out
that I'm a father.

♪ Blind-side me ♪

maybe let's talk
for a few minutes first.

Seriously?
I can't have a sucker?

What am I, 6?

Hey, I'm just recommending

a simple work-then-reward
method.

It might help us
get somewhere.

Hey, I use it all the time
on myself.

Okay.

What do you
want to talk about?

Let's talk about Sara.

What happened
the day that she died?

We've already
talked about this.

Actually, no, we haven't.

Not without you leaving
or, unchanging the subject.

Now, you've been willing to
talk about anything

up until that day,

anything after that day,
but not the day itself.

Come on, Clay.
We have to at least try.

If you truly
want to get better,

you have got to let go
of your reservations

and open yourself up...

No matter the risk.

Hey, everybody.

Hi, Brooke. Hi, Brooke.
Hi, Brooke. Hi, Brooke.

Hi, Brooke.
Hi, Brooke.

What is that creep
doing here?

I don't know he.

That's his third slice
of cherry pie.

He says we have the best
in Tree Hill.

Hey, Brooke,
did you bring...

All right. Let's go.
Get up.

I'm still eating.

Hey, I wasn't doing
anything wrong.

There's no law
against eating.

Go, before I beat the hell
out of of you.

Just wanted
some cherry pie.

I'm telling you right now

that prison will be
the least of your worries

if you come near
my family again.

I wasn't doing anything!

And the police
don't know anything?

Not that they've told me.

Thank you.

Deb, I can't shake
the feeling

that Dan is involved
in this somehow.

Oh, Haley.

As screwed up as he is,
I can't believe for a second

that Dan had anything
to do with this.

Any good Dan has ever done
has been for Nathan.

Well, if it wasn't him
directly,

it could easily have been
someone that he's pissed off

somewhere down the line.

I don't know.

I have
so many possibilities

that are just swirling around
in my head every day,

and each one is worse
than the last.

And I don't
have anything else to go on.

Last place we saw him,
I saw that...

painted on the wall
behind him.

I don't know anything
about the kidnapping.

Give me a name...
Someone who might know about it.

Does the name Constantin
mean anything to you?

No.

What about Zoran?
Or Dmitri?

Dmitri.

Yeah.

Yeah, Dmitri,
I got it, okay?

You know him?

Maybe.

Well, I hope you don't.

These guys are assassins.
They're ruthless.

If they do, in fact,
have your boy,

well, I'm afraid
it's probably too late.

We didn't talk.

Scott.

That, uh,
TV show of yours...

You think we'll ever find
redemption

for the things we've done?

I wouldn't count on it.

Then I'll see you in hell,
my friend.

I'll save you a seat.

David?

Hey.

Oh, uh, hi.
What are you doing here?

Oh, I heard about Nathan.

Yeah. It's awful.

Yeah, I, uh,
just cam town

to see if there was something
I could do.

I stopped by their house first,
but nobody was there.

Unfortunately,
I don't think

that there's anything
any of us can do,

but it was really nice
of you

to drive all this way
to support Haley.

Nah. I still consider Haley
and Nathan family.

And you, too,
as weird as that may sound.

It doesn't sound weird.

How've you been?

Uh, good.

Real good, actually.
I'm seeing someone.

And don't worry.
It's not another one of your sisters.

I've now decided to date
outside of the James family,

and apparently,

there are more women
out there in the world, so...

Really? Well,
I'm really glad you're happy.

Thanks.

What about you?
How's Clay?

♪ Till it flickers,
flickers, flickers ♪

Oh, that's at least
a four-pointer.

At least.

I was saying
something stupid about pens,

and she collapsed.

She died.

I called 911.

What happened next?

I told you yesterday.

I drove around.
I stayed at hotels.

I thought about...
No, Clay.

What happened
the day she died?

That day. That moment.

I don't remember.

Try.

Clay,
please don't leave again.

You know,
I don't remember.

We are close
to something here.

Come on, Clay.
What happened?

You have to go back there.

It's the only way
you can leave it behind.

One more little sixer

before you go off
and save the world?

"Article 133...

"Any commissioned officer
who is convicted

"of conduct unbecoming
an officer and a gentleman

shall be punished
as a court-martial may direct."

I'd be subject to dismissal

and incarceration
for up to three years.

Wait, you're saying
you can't have a beer?

I'm saying that's what will
happen to me as an officer

if I get caught beating the hell
out of Chuck's father.

Whoa! Dude.

Hey, maybe you should
think about this for a second.

You don't even know what's
going on over there for sure.

I got all the confirmation
I needed this morning.

The guy's a douche.

Well, yeah, he's a douche,

maybe you're right.

Maybe I'm just jumping
to conclusions.

Seriously.

Look, I'll keep an eye
on Chuck.

And if I find out
anything for sure,

I'll take care of it
right away...

With people that deal with
this kind of thing.

Promise me you'll do that?
You'll look after him?

I'll look after him.
I promise.

Just one. I got to go say goodbye
to Chuck before I take off.

Hi.
Hi.

I brought you lunch.

Thanks.

I've been calling,
but it was going to voicemail.

Oh, sorry.
Um, Deb actually came over,

and then I've just been
out of it for a while.

The police... they pulled a body
out of the river

and thought
it might be Nathan.

I had to go down
and identify it.

It wasn't.

Oh, my God, Haley.

That was the literally
the hardest thing

I've ever had to do.

If it had been Nathan when they
pulled back that sheet, I...

Ink I would have died
right there.

Come here.

I'm so sorry.

I, um...

I know it's not much,

but Julian's been working
with Dan,

following some lead.

What... what lead?

I don't know.
Apparently, Dan won't say much.

What could Dan know
that the police don't?

Deb...

What are you doing here?

I came to see what
you were doing to find our son.

Everything I can.

How's Haley doing?

Better than
anyone could imagine

in her situation.

She's upset with you,
though.

I can't say I blame her.

I can't lose him, Dan.

I know.

He's all I have.

I'll get him back.

I'll make everything right
again.

Knows anything
about Nathan?

I heard him say "Dmitri."

How do you know
it's the same guy?

I don't.

But we're in Tree Hill,
Nathan's missing,

and how many Dmitris
do you know?

So, the man who went to prison
for attacking Brooke

was just paroled.

He came to the café today.

I threw him out
and threatened to kick his ass.

So?

So, he said
he wasn't doing anything.

Maybe he wasn't.
I don't know.

Am I just supposed to give him
the benefit of the doubt

now that he's served his time
or something?

The guy's an ex-con.

I wouldn't trust him
for a second.

Yeah.

He can have his second chance
somewhere else.

Hey, Lauren.

Thank you so much
for meeting me.

Antwon,
is everything okay?

You sounded so urgent
on the phone.

Look,
I just want you to know

that I've been thinking
a whole lot

about you
and about your situation.

Well, our situation.

And I just want to
let you know that...

I want to do the right thing
for you and the baby.

I mean,
I want to be there 100%

I'm talking lamaze,

midnight runs for ice cream,
all that.

And I'm an excellent
baby-proofer,

so you don't have to
worry about that.

That is so sweet.

It's just, um, somebody else
already has that covered.

The father.

Antwon, it's not yours.

Her you go, babe.

Oh, thank you.

Hey.

Skills, right?

Uh, yeah, hey.

Yeah. Hey.

I just want to offer you guys
my baby-proofing expertise.

You never can be
too careful, right?

O, and, um...

I'll even get you
half off.

"Antwon Taylor.
Sports coordinator.

I've got the "skills."

Oh, you got flip that over.

"Antwon Taylor.
Baby-proofer.

I've got the "skills".

Thank you.

David.

Hi, Lauren.

Hey.

Oh! Oh, pregnant's
the girl you're see...

Uh, Lauren's the girl
you're seeing?

Yeah.
You guys know each other?

I remember
the odd look she gave me.

She was in the kitchen.

"Angel flying
too close to the ground"

was playing
on the record player.

She liked the scratches and pops
of the vinyl albums.

And then her eyes rolled back
into her head,

and I watched hedy
just quit.

Se just stopped.

So I ran to her.

Sara! Hey!

And I was thinking
that no matter how hard

I pressed my legs
against the ground,

it wasn't fast enough.

It took me an eternity
to get to her.

And as I was holding her,

I remember thinking,
"this must be a dream."

You know, as if my brain
was telling me

that this couldn't be
reality.

25-year-old women
don't just drop dead.

I waited for her
to wake up.

I was numb.
I couldn't speak or move.

I just stood over her while
they put her on a stretcher...

And pulled the sheet
over her face.

I was thinking,
"this can't be real.

This can't be real."

What happened next, Clay?

I was thinking,
"I can't go on without her.

I just...
I can't possibly."

What do you see, Clay?

I can't talk about this.

Can't or don't want to?

Either.

Wait.

So, David is with Lauren.

Mm-hmm.

Our Lauren.
Yeah.

And the... is his?

Yep.

I mean, I'm happy for them both,
but it's kind of weird.

I bet.

You know, with David,

I could never see us
having kids.

You know? I loved
how spontaneous

our life was early on.

And what about now?
With lay?

With Clay,
it's different.

You know, I'm less concerned
about our future.

Whatever happens,
happens.

It'll be a dream come true,
whatever it is.

You need to leave now,
before I call the police.

I forgot my phone.
That's all.

How convenient.
Now go.

You know,
I haven't done anything.

Haven't done anything?

I served my time.

I have just as much right to be
around Tree Hill as anybody.

And I have the right
to refuse service to anybody,

and I'm not serving you.

Now go.

There's
that son of a bitch.

So, what's the plan?

I'm gonna have a conversation
with him.

Oh, like a conversation
conversation?

I'm gonna whatever kind it takes
to get answers.

All right. Hold on.
You can't just walk up to him.

Why not?

Because he probably has a gun,
for one.

And those guys, for two.

What do you think would happen
if they made one phone call

saying that Dan Scott
is snooping around,

looking for his son?

All I'm saying is
now that we know where he is,

we should come up with
some sort of plan.

So, you're telling me
that you're actually no closer

to finding my husband now
than you were a week ago?

I'm sorry, ma'am.
I can point you

to the detectives
in charge of the case,

- but they'll tell you the same thing.
- The detectives?!

You mean those guys back there
who are watching the game

and laughing
and drinking coffee?!

Nobody is doing anything to find
my husband, and I'm tired of it!

Hey, hey. Look, look. I know that you're
upset, but you do need to calm down.

It has been a week! This is absolutely
absurd! Do you have any idea...

We are doing everything
that we can!

It's not enough! No!
If you don't calm down,

we'll have to remove you
from the bulding.

I went to the morgue
this afternoon!

Is there anyone
we can call?

Haley...

Nobody is making this
a priority.

It's like Nathan's missing,
and it's yesterday's news.

Maybe you should talk
to Dan.

I have trusted Dan before,

and he always makes me feel
like an idiot for it.

I know we both have
many, many reasons to hate him,

but Dan may be
our only hope.

God.

Tell me where
you've been running your mouth!

- No!
- Boy, answer me!

No!
Tell me what you said!

Ow!

Answer me right now! Answer me!

Wade, stop! Please!

What'd you say, boy?!
Huh?!

You been running
your mouth?!

No! No!

You been running

You're hurting him!
Let him go! Let him go!

You stay out here.
Hear me?

I thought
I told you stay... ow!

You didn't call,
so I'm guessing

that son of a bitch
didn't show up again?

He did, actually,
but it was only for a second,

and I handled it pretty
effortlessly, if I must say.

Oh, yeah?
Mm-hmm.

You inspired me today.

It was pretty sexy, actually,
you getting all protective.

- You liked that, did you?
- Mm-hmm.

You were right.

I think he was
just trying to scare me.

You need to call me
if you ever see him again.

Okay.

Any news on Nathan?

No, not quite, but I think
we're getting closer.

I can't believe
this is happening.

It doesn't even seem real.

Yeah, I know.

I feel so bad for Haley.

I can't imagine.

what did you see?

You know what I saw.

I saw my son.

You're telling me
that he's my son?

I'm not telling you anything.
You have to tell me.

How'd you do this?
You're screwing with my head.

Clay,
I haven't done anything.

Like I said before,
I believe your mind

hs been trying to
tell you something

for quite some time now.

So, you've known about this
the whole time?

You let me walk around,
unaware of my own child?

For years!

Until I'm some sort of zombie
waking up on merry-go-rounds?

Why the hell
didn't you tell me?

We tried.
Who's "we"?

Sara's parents. Me.

Clay, I told you every day
after Sara died.

I told you,
but you blocked it out.

You weren't ready.

Well, I'm not ready now,
either.

He said that you told him
he's gonna be leaving soon.

Why?

Because he's gonna be
leaving with me?

He's not leaving with me.

Clay?

Want to put the plane
back together now?

Clay, are you ready?

Where are you going?

Clay!

Clay...

What are you doing home?
Is everything okay?

You know that breakthrough
that we were hoping for?

I had it.

Look...

It's okay.

Nothing you say
is gonna change us.

I promise.

forgive me, Nathan.

I just don't know
what else to do.

Haly?

Tell me what you know.
