Original subtitles

Previously on "One Tree Hill.."

I can describe Lucas in one word...bastard.

I can't change the fact this kid exists.

You have no right to think of him

not today, or any other day in his life.

- What do you want? - What do you want, man?

'I mean, other than my girlfriend'

'and my spot in the lineup?'

How many moments in life can you point to and say..

"That's when it all changed?"

- What changed? - Everything.

I wanna draw something that means something

to someone, but I can't.

You submitted my sketches to "Thud Magazine."

And they liked them, didn't they?

If I wanted your help, I would've asked for it.

Your scoring title in the gym, I'm taking it.

I don't care what you do to me.

Whatever you got, you better bring it.

This is your team, not his.

If this new kid's taken your position he's no longer

your teammate, is he? He's your opponent.

'I told you it was gonna get worse.'

Just quit the team, man. Otherwise, it's gonna get ugly.

'So what happens if we haze this guy and doesn't go away?'

If he doesn't, I got a backup plan.

- Karen's Cafe. - 'I'm calling for Haley James.'

- Yeah, this is her. - It's Nathan Scott.

I really need your help.

One, Lucas does not find out..

...and number two, you leave him alone.

There comes a certain point when you have to fight back.

And I'm at that point.

Mom?

Mom, did you forget to pay the water bill?

No. Of course I paid the water bill.

See, this is what we need the Emergency Visa for.

Something must have broken.

I'll take care of it. Come on, let's get you rinsed.

Okay, how is this funny, mom?

How is this not funny?

Hey. Check it out.

It's called, dinner.

Who is that lady? Is that my wife?

I didn't think you were getting back until Monday.

I wasn't, until I sweet-talked Zyadex

into doubling their gift to AIDS research.

Took me all of one meeting.

Wow, I'm impressed.

You sure you don't wanna quit saving the world

and come sell cars with me?

Mm, thanks, but I like the frequent-flier miles.

Hey, how's my boy?

I'm late for warm-ups, mom.

Oh, come on, sit.

Dinner's almost ready. I haven't seen you for weeks.

I can't. I gotta go. Don't wait up.

Nathan, remember what I told you.

He can't shoot if he doesn't have the ball.

'K-I-L-L..'

Dammit, this is a team, not a Chinese fire drill.

Scott, you're playing selfish.

Get out there and pretend you know each other.

'Alright, let's try to get it together.'

- Ravens on three. - One, two, three.

Ravens!

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Hey, can I catch a ride with you to Nathan's party?

I didn't think you were going.

Figured you'd be hiding out in Lucas' back seat again.

- Jealous? - No.

What? I could see it.

You're both so broody.

You could brood together.

'Now the Ravens in bound the ball.'

'Looks like they're trying to isolate'

'Nathan Scott on the baseline.'

'The Masenberg defense tightens on him.'

'Scott battles through, still working hard'

'to get open down there.'

'Now, Tim Smith, with the ball, working over on the wing.'

'He's dribbling, looking for Nathan underneath'

'but he's boxed in. Oh! Oh!'

'A cross court pass putting Lucas Scott over the basket.'

'So much for the putty grip on that one.'

- What was that? - I didn't know.

'And I tell you what, Lucas Scott'

'is really starting to gel with this team.'

He had a better angle. I'm sorry.

Nathan, come on, man. I'm just trying to win.

- So, are you excited? - Why, because we won?

No, because there's running water in the locker room.

We're gonna be roughing it until tomorrow.

It's okay.

What's up, dad?

Nice game, sweetie.

Try telling that to dad.

'I'm proud of you. I'll see you later.'

Two decent games in a row, man.

Getting better, or just lucky?

The team's gonna party tonight, my parents beach house.

Why are you telling me that?

'Cause I said "The team," didn't I?

Look, it's gonna be a long season, alright?

Might as well deal with it.

The guys kidnapped you, trashed your court

threatened you with bodily harm.

Party? Yeah, sure, why not?

Okay, listen. I know it's all a setup, alright?

But I'm not gonna let him screw with me.

Whatever he dishes out, he's gonna get back double.

Do you think maybe.. I mean, just maybe..

He's had a change of heart?

Requires a heart.

Every time I ride with you

I swear I'm never gonna do it again.

- Keys? - Tempt fate.

Peyton, you gotta talk to him.

Lucas had the better shot. You saw it, right?

Tim, are you being pathetic?

What's he doing here?

I invited him.

I mean, since you guys are such great friends now.

What are you trying to pull?

Nothing.

'I wasn't sure you'd come.'

Makes two of us.

Hi, I'm Nathan Scott.

Uh, yeah, I know. I'm Haley.

I know.

Well..

Bet their plumbing works.

- Hmph. - I'm just saying.

- Alright, thanks. - Yeah.

Have you guys seen this?

'The "High School Fearleader?" A comic strip.'

Wait, this is insulting, right?

My dog can draw better than this.

Really, what guy keeps his hat on during sex?

Who is this "Saki" person, anyway?

Yeah, I wonder.

It's just a stupid comic strip. Who cares, right?

'It's more like "Sucky."'

'Whoever it is doesn't know the first thing about it.'

- They make it seem so.. - Shallow?

Where's the keg?

You okay?

He used to ask me before he'd put stuff up.

Now, I don't even know what he's interested in..

...besides basketball.

Basketball.

Yeah.

Seems like it changes from day to day.

Mm.

He talks to you, Dan.

How's he been doing?

Well, he's holding up

considering Whitey's moved him out of his position.

But, uh, it's probably temporary.

I asked you how he is, not how he's playing.

Must be confusing for him with Lucas on the team now.

Were we gonna talk about that?

I think that's probably temporary, too.

You think, or you wish?

Um, I saw Karen at the game tonight.

But then, I've never really spoken to her.

I know this is hard on you, Deb.

Not really, I think it's harder for you and Nathan.

So, I know you're, like, having the time of your life

but can we please make like a tree and get out of here?

We just got here.

Whatever. You let me know when you've proved your point.

I'm gonna go to one of the 18 bathrooms in this place.

- Want to meet back in five? - Yep.

- Hey, good game, man. - Hey, thanks.

Lucas...come play.

- What's the game? - "I never."

And yet, apparently, you have.

Shut up, Vegas!

'Alright, so the game is'

'we all take turns saying things that we've never done'

and everybody at the table who has..

They have to drink.

Yeah, I know.

'Alright.'

- Theresa, you're up. - Okay, let's see.

I've never..

...had sex with anything made out of plastic.

Okay, my turn.

I've never..

No, I did that. Um..

'Alright, my turn.'

Oh, let's see. Um..

I've never..

I've never had a dad that wished

I was a stain on the bed sheets.

Then you're welcome to mine.

Sorry.

How's the tutoring going?

You're tutoring Nathan, right?

It's okay. He tells me everything.

Yeah, you know, he, um, said he needed some help.

Maybe you could teach him to stop being such a jackass.

I will put that on the lesson plan.

Just be careful, okay?

Yeah. Sure.

Does Lucas know you're helping Nathan?

You know..

You say a lot when you keep your mouth shut.

- Um.. - It's okay.

I'll keep mine shut, too.

- What happened? - Same old crap.

He thinks if he keeps hammering me, I'll quit the team.

Oh! What did he do this time?

He made some feeble comments.

I'm not gonna let it get to me.

Obviously that's working out for you.

Luke...have you guys ever actually talked?

Yeah, sure, we trade e-mails, too.

I'm saying you're so hypersensitive

around each other, and...I get it.

'I just think that..'

Maybe everything he says

you take the wrong way and vice versa.

Okay, there is no misunderstanding

what he's saying.

And why are you defending him?

I'm just...I'm trying to bring some perspective.

I mean, it's a really screwy situation

and I'm sure that having you around

isn't any easier for him than it is for you

and I think maybe if you guys could just talk--

Tell me, I'm not hearing this.

Then what are you doing here, Lucas?

Obviously you're looking for something, right?

I'm not gonna let him win.

Fine. Don't let him win.

I'm gonna go home.

- Haley! - Nope.

Are you leaving?

Nathan, we had a deal.

You promised you were gonna be nice.

I-I am nice.

I invited him to this stinkin' party, didn't I?

What for? So you could pick on him in public?

What did you say, anyway?

Oh, man, is that what--

I made a lame joke.

I mean, look, the guys

sometimes we get kind of raw with each other.

I was just trying to include him. He took it the wrong way.

Maybe you need to rethink your approach.

Well, you're his friend. How do I handle this?

It's easy. Stop being such a...jerk.

- He really slammed you. - I don't care what he thinks.

Neither do I.

Oh, yeah?

Then why are you drinking?

Come on. Nathan.

I can't believe your parents don't have any decent porn.

Wait.

I got something.

- Put that in. - What is it?

It's a comedy.

So I'm confused.

You want to be anonymous

and you let the world watch you on a web cam.

The world isn't watching me..

...but I guess you are.

Okay, the point is ...you want to express yourself

but you don't want people to know it's you.

I guess I'm just a riddle wrapped

in a mystery inside a bitch.

Or maybe just a tortured artist.

Look, I don't need you defending me, or my work.

I don't need you analyzing me or interpreting me, either.

And in fact, I'm pretty sure I don't need you at all.

Pretty sure?

'Daniel Scott and Karen Roe.'

'Karen, what's the secret to your success?'

'Uh, the secret to our success?'

'Hmm, I don't know. Good question. Dan?'

Good sex.

'Be serious.'

'Karen, think you guys will get married?'

Do I think Dan and I will get married?

Hmm, who knows? I mean..

Oh, my God, the hair!

'He really is the sweetest guy in the whole world'

'So I'm thinking, yes.'

Come visit us in ten years and I bet

you can meet the kids and get a tour of our big house

and see how happy we are.

- 'Who's the girl?' - It's my mom.

At least her dreams came true for one of them.

Thought you left.

Yeah, uh, I tried to.

If the stupid cab would ever get here.

I'm glad you stayed.

I wanted to thank you for holding back.

What do you mean?

"Jerk" is pretty tame.

You could've called me a lot worse.

'I probably deserved it.'

Look, I've been thinking a lot about this tutoring thing.

I'm sorry, I just don't think it's a good idea.

- Because of Lucas. - Well, obviously, yeah.

I don't know what I was thinking.

There's no good that can possibly come of this.

Really?

I thought I saw you guys fighting back there.

Meaning that I should keep tutoring you to stick it to him?

Maybe that's how they do things in Nathanland

but I'm not gonna do that to my best friend.

Maybe you're doing me a favor then.

What does that mean?

Sometimes I think it'd be easier

if I got kicked off the team.

Especially with my dad.

I should go find Lucas and just..

...just try and smooth things over.

He left awhile ago.

Great.

Well, I guess I'm walking.

- Let me give you a ride. - It's not that far.

Forget it. You're not gonna walk.

Look, we'll take Peyton's car.

I am really fine.

You're a little high on yourself, aren't you?

Running around telling people you're all fine?

Look, please, just take the ride.

It's the least I can do.

Okay.

Dan, we should talk.

You know, I try to let these things roll off my back.

You shut down and walk out mid-conversation.

I swallow it and let it churn around in my stomach

until it makes me sick.

I don't want to rehash Karen and her son

for the 10,000th time? Frankly, I'm talked-out.

- It's about Nathan. - What about him?

He's just so surly and distant lately

and I feel powerless to do anything about it.

And the way you're pressuring him since Lucas joined the team

seems to be making it worse.

Me?

Did you ever stop to think maybe the problem's not with Nathan?

Maybe if you cared to spend more time at home?

I'm gone ten days out of the month, tops.

And when you are here, you work till all hours.

And you want to know why, Dan? Let me tell you.

Because ever since you started this basketball thing

I feel like you've slowly been stealing him from me.

You've made me feel irrelevant.

I go out and I raise money for good causes

and I matter out there.

But at home, you shut me out of his life.

Shut you out? Work has always come first with you.

That is not fair.

You know how hard I've tried to balance both.

But...swear to God

I never would've done it if I had known how he'd turn out.

- He's a good kid. - Based on what?

His scoring average?

Deb, I just want what's best for our son.

'What makes him happy.'

Well, then, something's not working, Dan.

Because that kid I saw tonight

is anything but happy.

♪ I met a porn star she's an actress.. ♪♪

Don't let me have another beer unless I beg you.

Same goes for boys.

What are you doing?

Just wondering if we're all gonna end up like Karen.

Who is Karen?

Lucas' mom.

Not with proper birth control, we won't.

That's not what I meant.

She was our age when that tape was made, Brooke.

In a lot of ways, we're just like her.

Don't you think it's awful how she just let

Nathan's dad treat her like crap?

Yeah.

But honey, that doesn't mean we're like her.

Maybe that means you're like her.

Yeah, this is my house.

We're staying here while we renovate the mansion.

It's not like I was trying to show off.

Isn't that your default setting?

I'm sorry.

Can I be honest with you?

Um.. I-I don't know.

You tell me.

What I said at the beach, that was a lie.

I'm really lucky to have basketball.

It's pretty much my shot at everything, from here on out.

If I lose it, it's over for me.

So don't lose it.

Well, that's just the thing.

With my grades, I'm close to being ineligible

to do the one thing I'm actually good at.

It's not just my life, either. It's my dad's, too.

It's like he's still got something to prove to Whitey.

And if I screw it up, it's gonna destroy him.

Then it'll destroy me.

Look, I know you have no reason to do this

and I know it's just gonna complicate things with Lucas

but...I really need your help.

And I will find you someone else, I promise.

No.

I came to you because you're the best tutor

at the school...and you're not gonna tear me down.

It's not exactly easy, having everybody know you're failing.

It's you, or nobody else.

Okay, I will, um..

I will get you through the semester.

And then you've got to be on your own.

I'm serious.

That's totally fine with me.

Okay, um...great. So, we'll start on Monday.

Lay off Lucas.

Peyton!

You okay?

Yeah, she's fine.

'Can't say the same for her car, though.'

What the hell are you doing following my girlfriend?

I wasn't.

Look, I thought she was driving, and she was drinking.

Hey, where you going?

Back to the party, dumb ass.

You're gonna leave her car like this?

Yeah. And if you stand there, you can watch me.

- You know this is a crime. - So call the cops.

Nathan, you can't walk away from this.

- I saw you do it. - No, you didn't see me do it.

'Cause I was with Tim the whole time.

Which is exactly what he's gonna say

if anybody asks him. He owes me.

So it looks like it's your word against ours now.

You can guess how that's gonna go down.

So you're just gonna lie and walk away?

What about Peyton?

You know, your girlfriend?

The car's registered in her name.

Yeah, and you know what?

Come to think of it, like you said

she was really drunk last time I saw her.

Maybe she did this.

But then again, all I see is a wrecked car...and you.

'Hit-and-run, huh? That's beautiful.'

I could lose my license for this.

I didn't know what else to do. He just walked away.

You wanna tell me what it is with you and this girl, huh?

That you're willing to break the law for her?

Nobody is worth that.

I couldn't let Nathan get away with it

the way he does everything else

and I sure as hell couldn't let him do that to her.

Okay.

What about the guy's car you hit, huh?

He just gets screwed over?

I left him a note. Said I did it, to bring his car here.

Oh, well, that's just great, Lucas.

You know I'm already struggling to bring in paying customers.

Look, I'll do the work myself, after hours

and I'll pay for the materials.

You're damn right you will.

Your mom's gonna love this.

No. She's got enough to deal with.

You don't have to tell her.

Oh, I'm not gonna. You are.

And if you don't, then I will.

But you're gonna take something away from this.

Cover the car. I'll give you a ride home.

I wanna have a pipe replaced.

I don't want to send your kids to college.

Fine. I'll do it myself.

I'm sorry, we're just closing..

I-I was hoping to get a coffee...to go.

Anything else?

A biscotti.

3.20.

Hey.

You tell Dan that if he wants to spy on me, or threaten me

or whatever the hell this is

he can come down and do it himself.

Dan didn't send me. I came on my own.

- So it's a coincidence? - No.

I wanted you to know..

...everything that happened between you and Dan

I don't carry that weight around, and I don't care to.

Frankly, it looks to me

like you've done a wonderful job raising Lucas.

I've seen the two of you together

and quite honestly, it makes me a bit jealous.

Look, our two families, it's really awkward.

I'm not deluded enough to believe otherwise.

I know how it is with you and Dan and our two boys.

There's a lot of history there.

But it doesn't have to be our history.

Karen, think you guys will get married?

Well, I think Dan and I will get married.

'Hmm, who knows?'

'I mean, we've talked about it'

'and he hates it when I tell people this..'

You reinvented cruel tonight.

It was a joke.

Funny how you're the only one laughing.

Like you and your stupid comic strip?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

"I'm sorry" is getting a little old with you, Nathan.

I know.

I just can't remember a time when things were this bad.

Where have you been for the past two hours?

- I went on a beer run. - To where, Canada?

Nathan, I want to go home.

But I can't because it seems my car is missing.

You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

- Uh, I think Tim took it. - You think?

Well, he wanted to take Brooke home

so, I told him he could borrow it.

I didn't think you would care.

I never told a ridiculous lie to my girlfriend's face.

Drink up.

'Cause Brooke got a ride home with Theresa

after you disappeared. Want to play again?

Alright. So, then it was some other girl. I don't know.

What's the big deal anyway? I knew you were gonna stay here.

So you gave away my car?

Look, whatever.

I'm going to bed. Are you coming?

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

I cannot believe you just asked me that

with a straight face.

You will not believe the night I had tonight.

Yeah, me too.

What's going on?

Well, it turns out fixing the water main is not a big deal.

I just have to pick up a pipe

at the hardware store in the morning

'and then, if you help me dig out where the break is'

I think we could fix this ourselves.

So now I'm digging ditches?

You mind telling me what happened

before you destroy what's left of my table?

Did you know you could fit this whole house

into the living room of their place at the beach?

Why would you even go there?

'Cause I love getting dumped on.

You don't have to put up with that. You could just walk away.

- Like you? - Excuse me?

You never told me you had this whole thing mapped out with Dan

'that you even ever talked about marriage'

before you were pregnant with me.

All you ever said is that he found out and he took off.

Wait, where did you hear this?

Those guys, Nathan and his ass of a father

they do whatever they want

and they screw everybody else in the process.

And yet you and I, we stand by and we let them?

You should have made him give us what we were entitled to

'so that we didn't have to live like this!'

You should've made him pay.

Luke...what happened tonight?

I learned something, that's all.

Everybody has secrets. Right, mom?

Nathan!

- Hey, what's up? - You bring my car back?

Your car? Uh, I don't have your car.

Nathan said you took my car.

Oh, um, your ca.. We, uh, um..

Nice try. Where the hell is my car?

You calm enough to talk?

I'm sorry I went off.

I was pissed and you were in the line of fire.

That's usually when the truth comes out.

Yeah, well, the truth is, I'm the reason

you never got what you wanted.

So that kind of nullifies my right to complain.

Is that what you think?

I got exactly what I want, Lucas.

Everybody seems to think I'm some kind of victim.

I chose this and if I had to do it over

you and I would still be having this conversation.

Yeah, I know, I just..

I hate to see them get away with it, Dan and Nathan.

They should've helped you out.

It's not fair.

I'm glad he never offered, 'cause, at the time

I honestly don't know what I would have said.

But I can tell you this much, Lucas

if he had been giving us money

he'd have felt entitled to have a say

about how you were being raised

and I think that that

would have been a bigger price to pay.

You've seen how Nathan's turned out.

Like father, like son.

So who do you think we should feel sorry for..

...ourselves or them?

Hey.

He's still not home.

Uh, he will be.

So, I take it this isn't the first time

you've let him stay out all night?

I don't wanna smother him, Deb.

He's a responsible, disciplined kid.

Is he?

Hmm.

Your brother just called.

Our responsible, disciplined kid

got into a hit-and-run last night in Peyton's car.

- Is he okay? - Oh, he's not hurt.

But do you want to know what he did afterwards?

He walked away and tried to dump it on Lucas.

- Well, I'll talk to him. - You'll talk to him?

- Is that all you have to say? - What do you want me to say?

I don't know anymore.

But I'll tell you one thing.

Seems to me you and Nathan

have gotten a little too comfortable when I'm not around.

So I'm cutting back at the foundation

fewer hours and no more travel.

Try not to look so disappointed.

Come on, Deb. You don't have to do this.

I don't have to or you don't want me to?

What?

Hey, you're still alive.

Guess you didn't tell your mom about your little crime spree.

This morning.

She's working on my punishment now.

Good. You recognize that car over there?

The owner got your note.

I talked him out of pressing charges.

Thanks, Keith.

Let's just get this done, okay

so we can get back to billing for the work we do.

You got it.

What do you want?

I, uh, expect his parents sent him.

You told them?

You may be willing to let him get away with it, but I'm not.

Try not to kill each other, girls.

Peyton wants to know when she's gonna get her car back.

When it's fixed.

How much is the work gonna cost?

I don't know. A lot. Why?

Give me the invoice when you're done.

Dad will write a check.

No, thanks.

I said we'll pay you.

You want to pay me, stay away from me.

Suit yourself.

Hey, whatever you're up to..

Stay the hell away from Haley.

We're just talking, man..

You know, kinda like you and Peyton.

Car will be ready by Friday.

Whatever.

That bag of stuff by the door is yours.

What's all this?

That's all the crap you've left here. Take it.

This is the necklace I gave you.

You mean the leash? No, thanks.

Peyton, come on.

Look...my mom's gonna cool down

and everything will be back to normal.

Okay, trust me, the last thing I want with us is normal.

In case you haven't noticed, normal sucks with us, Nathan.

Peyton, is this about your car? I'm taking care of that.

It's not about the car, it's about you.

I finally saw you clearly for the first time last night

the way you treated me, the way you treated Tim

the way you treated your brother.

Don't call him that.

And the way you're playing that girl.

What? Are you talking about Haley?

Is that what this is about? Peyton, she means nothing.

Okay, if that's the case, then you're an ass.

And even if she does mean something, you're still an ass.

And what's really sad, Nathan

is that you're too stupid to get that.

So thank you for being such an amazing

son of a bitch last night.

You really made this a no-brainer.

I'll call you when you're not so PMS.

Don't bother.

I mean it, we're done.

So get the hell out.

I mean it! Get the hell out!

Hey, I was beginning to think I would never see you again.

You're avoiding me, right?

A little.

Luke, I was just trying to help.

You just, like, jumped down my throat.

We've always been able to talk about stuff, you know?

I just had this crazy idea

that if you...could see things from Nathan's side..

You're just a real pain in the butt sometimes.

Yeah. At least we can still be honest with each other.

Yeah, at least.

So, if anything were going on with you..

...anything important, or weird, or confusing..

I mean, you could still be honest with me

about that, right?

Yeah, of course.
