One Tree Hill s06e19 Episode Script

Letting Go

Previously on One Tree Hill: I could've sent that to you.
I came to get my car.
I'm driving it back.
- I guess this is goodbye for a while then? - Actually, it's goodbye forever.
I think we should end this.
Us.
You deserve more than this.
You'll address your literature class and explain that you were wrong.
- And if I don't? - You'll be fired.
I should probably say goodbye.
I'm glad you're here.
I said I loved you and you didn't say it back and I said it was fine, but it wasn't.
I don't want you to go.
But I have to.
Continuing this pregnancy means I lose you? Then we end it.
I'm having this baby.
- We're having this baby.
Hey.
Up and at them.
- What? - It's a beautiful day.
You, me, Jamie, the river court.
Come on, let's go.
Chop, chop.
Hey.
I thought I'd go shoot a round with Nate and Jamie.
- You'll be okay? - You don't have to check on me every five minutes, though I do love you for it.
I know.
I guess it's just because I'm the only one who knows.
I know, I know.
I should tell Brooke.
The whole no secrets thing.
Maybe I will.
- You go play.
- Okay.
- I love you.
- Yeah? I sort of like you too.
- Ugh.
- Hey.
It's kind of quiet in here.
Yeah.
Mia had a couple of gigs left on the schedule but the label really loves that new song I sent.
Another? That girl's a writing machine since she hooked up with Chase.
True.
But the song they're really crazy about is "Feel This" by Haley James Scott.
Dude, you totally Thudded me.
I didn't know I shouldn't be promoting your career.
- Well, it depends on what they said.
- Uh They said they want more.
And they're really excited about the new promotional angle.
Which is what, exactly? The singing maverick teacher that punched out the principal and slept with a student.
I never hit anyone.
That was seven years ago.
I was his tutor.
Oh, okay.
Sorry, I had to stretch it a little bit.
How's the new stuff coming? - Meh.
- Meh? - Why? - Because I keep thinking I should be in third period English, and wondering how my kids are doing.
Congratulations.
You've set a new record for failing.
We didn't fail.
You failed.
Bring back Ms.
Scott.
You.
Detention in my office.
Here's how little you know.
I'm not even in this class.
You shouldn't be either.
- Anyone else? He's got a point.
Maybe we wouldn't be failing if you hadn't fired our teacher.
Watch it, or you'll be joining your friend, Mr.
No Name.
All I'm saying is that either we all got instantly dumber or you should've been a little bit smarter.
I'll see myself out.
We need to teach Rimkus a lesson.
Just to be clear, I don't mean throw on a ski mask and beat the crap out of her.
Pack a bag.
We taking a road trip.
I'm sleeping.
No, you're feeling sorry for yourself because your girl broke up with you.
Because I've been doing the same damn thing.
- Now, pack that bag.
- Dude, I'm sleeping.
You can sleep in the car.
Wanna ask where we're going? - Where are we going? - To fix your broken heart.
Now move your feeling-sorry-for-yourself ass.
- Let's go.
- Hey, man.
- Let's go.
- No.
Nice.
- Now go in for a lay-up.
- Piece of cake.
Whoo! Nice.
Nice.
- The kid's growing up fast.
- Tell me about it.
He's been asking a lot of questions.
We're supposed to be grown-ups and have answers.
- Birds and bees already? - That would be easier.
No, they're actually about Keith.
Ever since Dan admitted to Jamie that he killed Keith, he seems pretty lost.
Join the club.
Actually, I was thinking, maybe you could help.
He feels bad he never got to meet Keith.
You knew him better than anybody.
I thought you could talk to him.
You know what, I got a better idea.
Hey.
Hi.
Did you come to say goodbye? Well, I was thinking maybe this didn't have to be goodbye.
What does that mean? You said you didn't want to be a footnote in someone else's love story.
Maybe it's time we write our own epic love story.
This time tomorrow, we can be walking on a beach in Malibu.
But what about Sam? I can't leave her here.
Yeah, I thought you'd say that.
And I agree.
Julian.
You're gonna come up with reasons why you shouldn't so I'm just gonna give you this one why you should.
I love you, Brooke Davis.
Come with me.
Guess what? Your ex-boyfriend just asked Sam and I to go with him to L.
A.
Tonight.
- Jake? - This isn't funny.
Wow, I mean, that's a really big deal.
- It's good.
Right? - No.
It would be ridiculous to go with him.
I have a store to fill.
My friends are here.
My life is here.
And what about Sam? You know, my parents did the same to me when I was in high school.
When they left, I was going out with Lucas and now he's the father of your baby.
And you're pregnant and I'm your maid of honor.
How could I leave you? Brooke, I'm gonna be fine, okay.
You should go.
We came back here for each other.
Hon, no.
You came back here for me, and I love you for that.
But I want you to be happy.
This is what you want, right? I want more time to figure out what I want.
Do you remember how unhappy you were in L.
A? Well, yeah, because I was alone.
Because the boy that I loved asked me to be with him and I said no.
So just think about that.
All right? Whatever you decide to do, I want you to know I love you.
And what if it doesn't work out? What if it does? Where are we? When I was your age, Jamie this used to be my favorite place in the whole world.
Why? This is your great uncle Keith's auto shop.
The guy who owns it now gave me a key so I can come whenever I want.
Cool.
Hey, whoa, whoa, be careful.
This was a great idea, Luke.
Yeah, well, the Mustang needs a tune-up anyway.
- I'll pull it in.
- Hey, Nate.
I wanted to ask you When Haley was pregnant did you worry about all the things that could go wrong? Of course.
Just stay off the Internet.
It's full of horror stories.
Haley looked up her symptoms, was convinced Jamie was gonna be born with two heads.
Yeah.
Hey, you know what the doctor told us? Childbirth is the ordinary miracle.
You can't believe it happens every day.
Jamie.
You wanna help me pull the Mustang in? - Cool.
Are we gonna work on it? - Of course.
- Can I help? Yeah, come on.
Sweet.
Hey.
Did you get one of those for me? Thanks.
I need it.
Been so exhausted lately.
That's because you've been depressed.
But tonight, all that's gonna change, my brother.
Tonight, no sleeping.
Well, unless sleeping with horny co-eds counts.
Big college party tonight, baby.
- What college? - Your alma mater.
- What? Skills, Gigi goes there.
- I know.
You just texted her said you was rolling through.
- No, I didn't.
She texted you back, said how excited she was.
- Dude, where's my phone? - Bam.
- "Your ass is so fine"? - Thanks.
- No, I mean, you texted that to her? - It's all good, man, she liked it.
Gigi's the reason I lost Millie in the first place.
No, you're the reason you lost Millie in the first place.
Now it's time for you to have some wild-ass, no-strings-attached sex.
- And Gigi is the one for that.
- Turn the car around.
Mouth, look.
You're not the only one that needs this trip.
Do it for me, okay? The second you wanna bounce, I promise, we out of there.
"You dirty little freak"? That one came from her.
Sam, Jack.
What are you guys doing here? Oh, we wanted to see you.
And how'd you get in? I'm good with windows.
- Why aren't you guys in school? - Rimkus kicked us out.
Sorry, but I can't have two students in my house during school hours.
Good, because it's not just us two.
So does anybody wanna tell me why an entire literature class is in my "I-wish-you'd-called-so-I-could- straighten-up-first" living room? You ever see Dead Poets Society? Oh, my God.
Who died? We took a stand for a popular teacher.
You.
You guys, I'm really touched.
But Principal Rimkus is going to lose her mind if you don't get back behind your desks.
We're not learning anything.
She handed back our papers on Catch-22 and we all got D's and F's.
We want you back.
I feel your pain, I really do.
But think about it from her perspective.
Walking out on her isn't gonna make her respect you any more.
Who cares? I mean, nobody likes her.
She doesn't even know our names.
She's a total bitch.
Hey, watch your language in my house, missy.
Listen, I really appreciate you guys' initiative and your heart.
- Thank you.
- But this is not the right thing to do.
You have to go back to school.
We all know Rimkus screwed you, and she's wrong.
I mean, look at the difference you made for me.
- For Quentin.
- Sam, a teacher doesn't have to be your friend, or somebody you like.
Out in the world you meet a lot of people you disagree with and you have to learn to work with them.
Okay.
Um How about we disagree with you, and you learn to work with us because we're not leaving here till you teach us something.
Man, I miss school.
I see why too.
Mm-mm-mm.
What's up, little mama? Oh, look at this one.
What's up, silky? Hey, yo, I'm gonna holler at you later.
I got you.
Man.
Hey, look, man.
I'm about to go fix my broken heart.
I suggest you do the same.
You see Gigi around here anywhere? Yep.
- Mouth.
I loved your texts.
Hey.
- We gotta do a keg stand.
- Gigi, it's still light outside.
No.
GIGl: I know, but not for long.
Bottoms up.
One, two, three, four Let's go, Mouth, you got this, baby.
Got it.
- There you go, good job, Jamie.
- All right.
- This is fun.
If you fix cars, you score major points with the ladies.
Like Miss Lauren.
I thought we weren't gonna talk about that.
Oh, that's right.
I'm sorry.
You've moved on.
What's the piano girl's name? Madison? Dad.
Jamie, it's okay.
Uncle Keith used to tease me about Peyton.
Really? Why? Well, it's just what guys do when they work on cars together.
They tease each other about girls, you know.
It's like your dad here.
He had to trick your mom into liking him pretending he needed tutoring.
- I wasn't pretending.
I was dumb as a post, Jamie.
Hey, whatever happened to Aunt Lindsey? Put the spark plug back in, you goof.
- All right, buddy.
You ready? One, two Three.
- Come on, boys.
- Drink up, baby.
Okay, sexy Sydney.
Mm.
That's yours.
Drink it.
Having fun, Marvin? Whoo! So next we have Orr.
Now, how would you describe this character.
Anyone? Jack? Well, he's always trying to crash his plane.
Makes him seem kind of stupid, or nuts, or suicidal.
But is he? No.
He's working on a plan to escape.
- Which means? - He's the smartest.
- The least crazy.
- Yes, that's it.
- Did you read the book? - Saw the movie.
So do we see how this relates to our theme now? Yeah.
Catch-22.
It's another contradiction on how messed up the world can be.
- Ta-da.
If Rimkus had made it this interesting, we wouldn't have all gotten F's.
You think? Ooh.
It's open.
Oh, hey.
Did you come by to beg me to stay? - Brooke said you asked her to go to L.
A.
- Did she? I really hope you're serious because she hasn't been serious about anybody in a long time.
You haven't trusted me since I came to town.
Because you looked like you had an ax to grind.
Maybe I did.
But somewhere along the line, this place changed me.
Brooke changed me.
I told Brooke I love her because I do.
I invited Sam because I want us to be a family.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
All right, for the record, I do believe you.
So I hope it works out.
Thank you.
She didn't happen to mention which way she's leaning, by any chance? - No.
- "No" she's not going or "no" she didn't mention it? I really have no idea what she's gonna say.
But I do know this.
If Brooke says no it won't be because she doesn't care for you.
She's just been very protective of her heart for a long time.
She's afraid.
L.
A.
Wow, that was fast.
- I know.
It's crazy, right? - Maybe.
Maybe not.
I guess it means Owen's out of the picture? Owen had a problem with Sam.
- Well, maybe you just didn't let him in.
- So he let himself into my assistant? You know, when you left for New York, sometimes I wish I'd gone after you.
- So you're saying I should go? - I don't know.
I mean, I didn't go, and eventually I found Mia, and she's great.
You're saying I should stay.
I'm trying to say, you'll always be able to find someone.
- I mean, come on, look at you.
- Thank you.
But you remind me of that Springsteen line.
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away.
Figure out what you want, Brooke.
But until you let someone in, you'll always be alone.
- Well, well.
What's this? - Third-period English Lit.
I saw the mass exodus pass my window.
Back to school.
Now.
Can't suspend us all.
No, but we can start with you, Mr.
Daniels.
Who's next? Okay, can I speak with you in my kitchen, please? Look, I realize I'm probably in no position to give you advice.
Last I checked, you had no position at all.
That's it.
The way you speak to me, the way you speak to them.
These are not third graders.
They're young adults.
- And? - And you have to treat them that way.
If you give them a class they want to be in, they will come to you.
Okay, you guys, third period English Lit.
Is over.
I'm serious.
And it's not in my dining room, it's back at school.
Tomorrow I expect you to be back in Principal Rimkus' classroom.
It's the right thing to do, and you know it.
You left some things in my classroom.
I'd like them gone by the end of the day.
Man, Marvin McFadden.
You disappoint me.
College girls: Good.
Alcohol: Good.
Pajamas: Good.
Where the hell is your head at? New York.
So, Jack.
This wasn't your worst idea ever.
Kids always like an excuse to blow off school.
Yes, but it was still a nice thing you did for me, and I appreciate it.
Well, it was just payback.
I mean, you took the fall when I shoplifted.
Thank you.
Yeah.
You too.
Okay, you two.
Thank you so much for staying behind and cleaning up but you have to go back to school also.
Not me.
I'm suspended.
Go.
Bye, Miss Scott.
Hey, Uncle Lucas, who am I? Wow, it's mini Keith.
Uncle Keith must have been so cool.
Yeah, well, not just for his unique sense of style.
Come here.
You know, your great uncle Keith was the best guy I knew.
He was always good to me and my mom.
He always helped me out whenever I was struggling.
Sounds a lot like you, Uncle Lucas.
I don't know about that.
What I do know is that he loved me and he was proud of me just like I love you and I'm proud of you.
Maybe you're right.
- How about you fire her up? - Me? Really? Yeah.
Double G's looking for you.
Things were so much less complicated in college.
How so? I remember walking these halls, hoping that someday I'd be a sportscaster.
Okay, you got that.
- That I'd have a full life, good friends.
- You definitely got that.
And every night before bed, I'd wish that, someday, I'd find the right girl.
A good girl, you know? Someone who loved me as much as I loved her back.
I don't suppose that girl's name was Gigi.
Okay, I made you a promise.
Let's go.
You okay to drive? Dude, I haven't had a drink for hours.
I've never been so sober.
What, is your next line inspired by Twilight? There is no next line.
Have you looked around? You might as well go back to selling coffee here.
Jeez, that seems like a lifetime ago.
What's going on with you? Everybody else has families and kids and careers and I have this.
Brooke, don't sell yourself short.
You have got all of us.
You've got a godson who loves you and the reason why I came by today was to tell you about something really rare that I saw.
Guess what it was.
A unicorn? I've always wanted to see a unicorn.
Even more rare than that.
It was a group of students who wanted to study more.
They came over to my house this afternoon during school and guess who was their leader? Sam.
It's amazing how far she's come since I found her sleeping in the back seat of a car.
She's socialized, she's a solid student, she's writing.
I think she has a budding romance with Jack happening too.
And they stayed behind to clean up the mess after everybody left.
Wow.
That's a lot more than she did when she trashed this place and Peyton's gown.
- Yeah.
That's why I wanted to tell you, because you should be proud of her and of yourself.
All that girl needed was a stable environment and you gave it to her.
Hey, Julian.
- Ah.
You again.
- No, don't let me interrupt your flow.
- I want you to keep writing.
- Oh, yeah? I love this story you wrote.
My only note would be "More, please.
" Sam, you have what most writers would kill for.
- A troubled childhood? - A voice.
You have stories to tell.
All you need is a little structure.
Thank you.
Can I still call you when you're in L.
A? I totally meant it when I invited you too.
Invited me where? Um, I gave Brooke two plane tickets for you guys to come with me to L.
A.
- When? - Tonight.
I guess she didn't tell you.
No.
Jeez, I thought Brooke was in a dark place.
Oh, God.
I didn't realize how late it had gotten.
Got a little carried away drawing.
What's up? I don't think I've been honest with you.
One of my classes came over to my house today and I realized that the reason I've been dragging my heels when it comes to committing to my next record is that I really love teaching.
Well, you may feel different when you're teaching to an entire stadium of students with your music.
And besides, you still have a really great student in Mia.
You did a wonderful thing in discovering her.
It makes me feel good to know that you're gonna be there to guide her.
- Well, so will you.
- Well, yeah, but, I mean When the baby comes, I'm not gonna be around as much.
- We're still a team, though, right? - Of course.
Man, these college girls are nasty.
Can I ask you something? How are you dealing with this so well, so fast? I'm dying here.
It still hurts, bro.
I mean, it always does.
- But you know what I do? - You freaky-text and watch porn? No.
I tell myself that if Deb is the one, then she'll come back and if not, then I'm all good, because I know she's out there.
The right one.
I just haven't met her yet.
You once told me, "If a girl dumps you, she's not the one.
" Maybe Nathan's mom just wasn't the one.
Okay, sorry.
That sounded weird.
Man, pull over.
It's my turn to drive.
So I might be moving to L.
A.
- Since when? - Since Julian invited Brooke and me.
Don't freak out.
When would you be going? Tonight.
Well, that would be pretty cool.
Right? Yeah.
Listen, I know this sucks for us but I really wanna do this for Brooke, Jack.
She's done so much for me.
Then I guess you should go.
I better start packing.
Sam.
I just wanted to do that in case I didn't ever get the chance to.
I'm sad I never got to meet Uncle Keith.
Yeah, I'm sad about that too, buddy.
And I'm sorry about what Grandpa Dan did.
Yeah.
We all are, Jamie.
Am I still allowed to miss Grandpa Dan? Yeah, Jamie.
Yeah.
I like it here.
You bring something broken and you fix it up.
I always liked it here too.
Mouth, wake up.
- Where are we? - At Millie's place.
What? How? Well, maybe the texting I was doing before was actually with Brooke and maybe Brooke just hooked me up with Millie's address.
Why? I told you this morning we was gonna fix your broken heart so go fix it.
Oh, sorry.
I just came by to pick up some of my stuff.
Pulling an all-nighter? Your students walked across town to be taught by you.
It's hard to get them to walk down the hall for most classes.
Yeah.
Well Would you ever consider? I love teaching, but I would never sacrifice my beliefs to do it.
You fired me right here, in front of all my kids just because you could.
So congratulations, Principal Rimkus.
You made a teacher not wanna teach and good students not wanna learn.
Be proud of that.
You know, I wish that I could get over things as easily as Jamie.
- Well, it's easier when you're 5.
- Yeah.
And when I see you with Jamie I think, if my little brother can be such a good father maybe I'll be okay too.
Yeah, of course you will.
I mean, besides, you had a hell of a head start, being raised by Keith.
Look at today.
You're already doing it with Jamie.
You'll be great.
Thanks.
I needed a day like today.
Service and repair.
Service and repair.
Marvin.
Hey.
What are you doing here? I was just in the neighborhood.
Actually, that's not true.
I'm here because I can't live without you, Millicent Huxtable and I don't want to any more and I'm sorry.
- What are you doing? - Julian invited you to L.
A.
I packed your bag.
No, he didn't invite me.
He invited us.
Hang on.
I packed my stuff too.
I just didn't know if you wanted me to come.
- Sam, you have school.
- They have schools in L.
A.
You have Jack.
You have a life here.
- A stable environment.
- I'm a survivor.
I'll roll with it.
You shouldn't have to keep rolling with anything.
That was the whole point of you coming to live with me.
He loves you.
He's a great guy.
He wants us all to try it together.
Don't you get it? Most people dream of this moment.
- Why aren't we already out the door? - Most people don't leave their lives to run off to California with someone that they have only known for a month.
- That's why.
- Brooke.
You're a good person, a cool designer, and a kick-ass mom but sometimes you're your own biggest enemy.
You're 22.
You have your whole life ahead of you.
You have this awesome dude at the airport who loves you.
God, you have to go.
You have to.
Where's Sam? She's not coming.
You're not coming.
I have a life here, and Sam has her life here.
- It's okay.
- It's not okay and it doesn't I mean Brooke, Brooke.
It's okay.
If this were a movie, it would end different but life's not a movie.
I guess that makes two films that didn't work out.
Final boarding call for Flight 406 to Los Angeles.
This is your final boarding call for Flight 406 to Los Angeles.
Goodbye, Brooke Davis.
Um I guess we're not going to L.
A.
So about that kiss Well, this is awkward.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Now, that was a good day.
- Yes, it was.
- You tell Nathan? - No.
Brooke? No.
Yeah, well, there's always tomorrow.
Yeah.
Hey, I'll be in in just a second, okay? Okay.
