Original subtitles

I broke her windshield.

When I got off the bus, i saw Haley kissing some guy.

He was kind of scrawny, had a guitar case,

sort of pelty hair.

I took the test.

We'll know in a couple of days.

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm just tired of running, Peyton.

Come with me.

Let's bring Jenny back home.

Something happened tonight.

I asked her to marry me.

You and I are the only ones who know the truth about Jules.

And I'm willing to keep it a secret.

What do you want from me?

I'm sure we can work something out.

* I don't want to be anything

* other than what I've been trying to be lately *

* all I have to do is think of me *

* and I have peace of mind

* I don't want to be anything

* other than what I've been trying to be lately *

* all I have to do is think of me *

* and I have peace of mind

* I'm tired of looking 'round rooms *

* wondering what I gotta do

* or who I'm supposed to be

* I don't want to be anything

* other than me

[ camera shutter clicks ]

I think the Latin book's upside down.

Like I could read it if it was right-side up.

How long is it gonna take you to get these flyers done?

Just got to download the pics to my computer.

You got a slogan in mind?

Yeah. "Brooke Davis for president."

Short enough for even the stoners to remember.

Are you gonna leave Keith and Jules alone?

I'm thinking about it.

Keith's happy for once.

He's getting married. Don't screw that up.

They're getting married?

I'll tell you what -- I'll leave them alone

if you give me a chance to prove I can be a good father.

How are you gonna do that, huh?

I get a lobotomy?

No.

You move in with me.

Haley, we seriously have to hide the matches

from your pyro sister.

Be grateful it's just candles.

When we were kids, i set fire to our bunk beds.

Where is Haley, and does she know you're wearing her shirt?

At school, and no, but I needed a beach cover-up.

Hey, I borrowed some cash for beer. I hope you don't mind.

[ Computer beeps ]

And she left the computer on.

[ Sighs ]

Love having you, Taylor. Come visit anytime.

Hey, Luke, I'm taking a poll for the next issue of the paper.

What is your biggest concern

for the upcoming student-government election?

Having to answer polls.

Well, well, well.

If it isn't my favorite two voters in the same place.

You two can be the first to know I'm running for president.

Do I have your support?

Do I have any choice?

Let me think about that...No.

And if you're still doing your newspaper gig, mighty mouth,

I'll give you an exclusive on my campaign.

Um...yeah, we should set that up.

Good.

You guys seen Haley?

Uh, I think she's tutoring. You okay?

I got to go.

All right.

No way -- is that Jake?

What?

Hey!

When did you get back?

A couple days ago. How's Jenny?

She's great. She's getting bigger every day.

You're getting scrawny, man.

You better hit that weight room before camp.

Will you still be here then?

Yeah. yeah. I'm back for good now.

I got some messes to clean up. I got to get a lawyer --

see if I can keep Nicki away, but I'm done running.

Good. we need you here.

Thanks.

Oh, Jake, I'm so glad you came back.

You can still vote here, right?

You good?

Yes.

Thank you for calling him.

You're a good friend, Luke.

Hey! I heard you were out of town.

Fill me in on all the dirt.

I think you're the only one who has any.

Um...

I have to ask you something.

Did you kiss Chris?

[ Scoffs ]

How did you know about that?

That is seriously not important.

It was like a goodbye kiss.

With tongue?

Haley, what's going on with you?

You know how ugly everything got with me and Brooke and Lucas.

There were no wedding rings in that scenario.

Look, he just...

He just kissed me.

And I let him, and it was a really stupid thing to do,

but it...It didn't mean anything, you know?

A kiss always means something.

[ School bell rings ]

[ Sighs ]

I never thought I'd see you darken my door again, jagielski.

I wasn't so sure myself, coach.

Where the hell have you been, son?

Just looking for a safe place in an unsafe world.

Find it?

I don't think it exists.

So I figure I'd just have to create it myself.

How's your game?

Haven't had much cause to use it.

How about your grades?

I've been working a lot of hours

just to keep me and Jenny afloat,

so I sort of stopped going to school.

That's a damn-fool plan.

Jenny deserves a whole lot better

than a high-school dropout for a father.

I know. I know. That's why I'm here.

I was hoping you could speak to principal Turner on my behalf

'cause he wasn't really happy last time I talked to him.

You gonna disappear again?

I don't plan on it, coach.

We got a faculty meeting tonight.

I'll corner Turner and see what I can do.

I appreciate that.

And about that safe place you're building --

don't do it alone.

A lot of people here are ready to help.

Talked to your folks lately?

Yeah, actually, my mom sent me an e-mail --

said daddy's dragging them all over Wisconsin

looking for the gouda museum or something.

What about Chris?

Did you go through my e-mails?

What is this, Haley?

Nothing. i sent him one e-mail

to say "good luck on your music."

That looks like more than one e-mail to me.

Taylor must have sent these on my account.

Look at the dates -- they all start after she got here.

And this one was sent when I was at the café.

So, you didn't kiss Chris?

Taylor is just stirring up trouble like always.

Okay.

I'm gonna tell her to leave then.

That cool with you?

Yeah. she should go.

All right.

Good afternoon, folks.

Welcome to the first student government information session.

I'm gonna pass out these sign-up sheets for the various offices.

And once you fill these out, we'll talk about scheduling.

Hi. Erica marsh.

I never would have pegged Brooke Davis

for student government.

Well, I am captain of the cheerleading squad

and a former homecoming queen.

Can't be that different, right?

Actually, government is a lot more than a popularity contest.

Everybody in this room has at least a 3.8 gpa

and a ton of outside interests.

Take me -- I'm president of the national honor society,

head of the French club,

and co-chair of Tree Hill big sisters.

Wow! you do all of that

and yet you still have time to talk to us little people?

Maybe I can help you, Brooke.

Have you thought about running for secretary?

Nobody serious every wants that job.

Actually, I'm running for president.

President?

You realize I've been president since seventh grade.

Really? what was your name again?

Erica marsh.

No, doesn't ring a bell.

Don't worry -- it will.

Well, game on, vivica.

Erica.

Whatever.

Oh, hey. You're a lifesaver.

Deb's out of town, and I'm backed up on deliveries.

Okay, no problem. I'll pack up the car.

But first...

[ Exhales ] test results came.

I don't have hcm.

Keith's okay, too.

Thank god!

I don't think I could take it if anything were wrong with you.

I know.

Well, we should celebrate.

Anything you want.

I want to move in with Dan.

Right.

And I want to drive metal spikes into my eyes.

I know it sounds crazy, okay?

But college is gonna start in a few years.

You're serious?

Yeah.

I want to move in with Dan.

Over my dead body.

What's this really about, Lucas?

What's going on?

Nothing.

And I know this comes as a surprise to you,

and I'm sorry, mom, but...It's what I want.

Okay?

You're late!

Where the hell were you?

I stopped by to check on Jules.

You should have called. Your office, right now.

Surprise! surprise!surprise!

[ Laughs ]

Congratulations, big brother.

I hope Jules makes you as happy as Deb has made me.

How did you know?

Good news travels fast in this town.

A toast to Keith and to Jules --

two people lucky enough to find each other,

and I hope your lives together

are filled with many more surprises.

Now, this is just about the number of people

we're inviting to the wedding.

What are you talking about?

Oh, we're just gonna do something small.

Out of the question.

You deserve a big blowout -- no expense spared.

It's my gift.

I want to give you a day you'll remember for the rest of your life.

Besides, it's not for you.

It's for Jules.

Every woman deserves to be a queen for the day.

What the hell are you doing with Lucas?

So he told you. Only that he's moving in with you --

not the real reason why.

That's crap. You're manipulating him somehow.

No. I'm letting him make a choice.

Maybe he needs something more than just his mommy.

Don't you dare walk away from me!

We are nowhere near finished!

What's going on?

It's just a little party to celebrate Keith's engagement.

Champagne?

Hey.

So...nathan found out that I kissed Chris.

You told him?

No, my idiot sister has been e-mailing Chris under my screen name

because the drama in her own life isn't enough,

and Nathan found the e-mails.

How did he take it?

I just told him Taylor made it all up.

So you lied to him... Again.

Yeah, and I feel awful about it,

but what's the point of telling Nathan?

Chris is out of my life, okay?

Nathan would feel worse if he knew the truth.

What is the truth?

That Chris and i are connected through music.

He understands that part of me in a way that Nathan doesn't.

Okay, Haley, if Chris were in town,

would you be into him?

'Cause you kissed him.

I know I kissed him, and it was a mistake.

So this whole connection is strictly music?

That's all it is. I love Nathan.

So, I guess congratulations are in order.

I'm sorry about this morning.

That's not how i wanted you to find out.

Why didn't you just tell me?

You know, for as long as I can remember, Karen,

I wanted to be with you.

And then I proposed --

Keith...

No, really, it's...It's okay.

When you turned me down, i, uh...

I thought I'd never have any love in my life.

But now I've found the love of my life.

Jules is a lucky woman.

I guess I didn't tell you because...

I needed to say this first --

I'm glad I loved you all those years.

And even if it didn't work out,

my heart knew what it wanted,

so I was ready when Jules came along.

Did you guys set a date yet?

No. it'll be soon, though.

Lucas has already agreed to be my best man.

Really?

I didn't know.

We haven't talked about anything but Dan

since Lucas asked to move in with him.

Hang on, what?

There's something going on that he's not telling me.

[ Indistinct talking ]

Hey.

Hey!

Like my new campaign posters?

Peyton: I've never seen you looking so...

Presidential?

Funereal.

Funny word coming from you, miss happy, goofy, grin queen.

What's going on with you and Jake anyway?

I don't know. Stop! We're playing it by ear.

Is that all you're playing?

Hmm. okay. Fine. Don't tell us.

I'll just keep my fingers crossed

and expect juicy details later.

Who did that?

Erica: in our great democracy, anyone can run for president.

But you deserve a leader you can trust.

I have evidence that Brooke Davis

stuffed the ballot box to win homecoming queen.

I knocked it over by accident!

I was just putting the ballots back in!

And that might not be all she stuffs.

Oh, please. I haven't stuffed since puberty.

I can't believe that little bitch went negative.

I can't believe she beat you to it.

This election, choose honesty.

Vote for me -- Erica marsh.

A little frosty in here today, no?

You here to eat or give a weather report?

Okay... what's going on?

I thought Lucas took the hcm test and was fine.

He wants to move in with Dan.

I haven't been able to get him to budge.

I'm gonna get Keith to try.

Keith?

Who's getting married to Jules.

Wow, that's great.

Is it?

How well does he know this girl?

What if he's just blinded by a pretty face and a hot body?

Well, some would say the same about you.

You can't let Erica get away with smearing you like that.

You leave this stuff unanswered, it becomes the truth.

So, what do you think I should do about Erica's ads?

Uh, are they true?

Some of them.

Well, don't deny it.

Politicians always get caught when they lie.

That's brilliant, genius. Stick to slinging hash.

[ Chuckles ]

Look, people like you, Brooke.

Just be who you are.

Peyton: okay, it's official --

Michelle branch and Jessica harp are playing at tric tomorrow!

That's awesome!

That will be perfect for my campaign-launch party.

Yeah!

Wait, what?

Hey. can you zip me up, brother?

You're busted, Taylor.

I'll take that for a no.

Where the hell have you been?

I met some people at the beach, and we partied all night.

What's your problem?

I know you pretended to be Haley and e-mailed Chris.

Now, what kind of sister does something that twisted?

The kind who's hoping the baby of the family

doesn't screw up like she did.

Oh, right. Is that why you made up all that stuff about a kiss?

You think I made it up?

I talked to Haley.

There was no kiss.

Make whatever phone calls you need to find a place to crash.

You're out of here.

I was beginning to think you had skipped town

and left all your stuff.

What do you care if I haven't been around?

You're kicking me out, right?

Drop the attitude, tay. You brought this on yourself.

You've pulled a lot of crap over the years,

but e-mailing Chris as me?

I can't believe you'd be such a conniving little bitch.

You're the bitch who's kissing a guy who isn't your husband.

You need a scapegoat? Fine.

Let Nathan think this is all on me,

but you and I both know the kiss happened.

Hey! have a bear claw, brother.

We're celebrating. I'm leaving tonight.

[ Knock on door ]

Hmm. upgrade.

I'm Dan.

And I'm out of your league.

Want to bet?

What are you doing here?

That's the last of your stuff.

Need to make some room -- Lucas is moving in.

Lucas is moving in with you?

Yeah. guess I'm not the devil after all.

Enjoy your breakfast.

Are you implying that I cheat for my 4.0?

Absolutely not.

Just like you weren't implying that I have a double-digit I.Q.

[ Chuckles ]

Hey, Nate. What's going on, man?

Is it true you're moving in with Dan?

[ Sighs ] yeah.

Great.

What happened to, "he can't make me a substitute Nathan"?

It's more complicated than that.

Whatever, man.

Lucas!

Hey, I have to write a killer platform speech

if I'm gonna win this election,

but I have no idea where to start.

Why don't you try asking Felix?

Because whitey told us to read speeches by world leaders,

and then he mentioned this Charles de gaulle guy

who I thought was that exchange student

that's always smelling his fingers in class.

So obviously, this is your area of expertise and not mine.

Will you help me?

How about tonight right before tric?

You're the best, Lucas. Thank you.

Maybe I should do a contest.

You know, "vote for me and win a date,"

or offer a makeover.

You don't need a gimmick, Brooke.

Just tell me why you want to be president.

I am who I am -- no excuses.

But I'd like other people to know

that there's a lot more to me than just some party girl.

Hold on.

This is from a speech by John F. Kennedy.

I think it could work for you.

This is all about courage.

Nobody is gonna believe this coming from me.

I would.

Hey.

Hey.

I brought you some campaign buttons.

Oh, wow.

Thanks, Felix. These look great.

Um, you wanted me to pick you up before tric.

Is it that late already?

I totally lost track of time.

Nah, we're done anyway.

[ Sighs ]

Everything you need to say...

Is already in your heart.

All right. We're gonna go out to tric.

You gonna be here when we get back?

No, my ride's coming tonight.

Well, where you gonna go?

I met some guy starting a surf shop down in the keys.

I'll crash there for a while.

And then what?

I don't know, Haley. I don't think that far ahead.

Maybe you should.

Like having a plan has worked so well for you.

Well, listen, uh, it's not much, but...

Here -- it's all I've got.

I want you to have it.

Thanks.

But this won't make you feel any less guilty about Chris.

Hey.

Are you kidding me? D.J. Bobo?

Where are the x-ecutioners

or the chemical brothers or anything?

Peyton, the d.J. Has got this under control, okay?

The night's gonna be great. Come on now.

Hey!

Oh, hey!

Welcome back! Where's Nathan?

Karen needed help with some boxes.

Well, I'll go help him out.

I've been wanting to say hi to Karen, so...

Good to see you.

Hi. hi.

So, okay, this is gonna sound really weird and groupie,

but I'm a huge Michelle branch fan, and I was wondering...

Yes, I will introduce you.

* and I would like to think so

* but do you know that when you go *

hey, guys, I'm sorry.

Oh, hey.

I just wanted to introduce you to a friend of mine.

Michelle branch, Jessica harp, this is Haley.

Haley James? Haley James Scott, actually.

Oh, we've heard a lot about you.

I don't think that's possible.

No, our opening act gave you rave reviews.

Didn't you?

I said she was okay.

So, you're the opening act?

Not for long. I'll be headlining soon.

So, Haley, Chris played us your duet,

and it sounds really great.

You should join him on stage tonight.

Oh, uh, thanks. I don't think, um...

I got to head out, but it was really nice to meet you guys.

Nice to meet you, too.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Giving you the biggest break of your life.

No, no, no, no, no. You did not do me any favors.

I busted my ass to get the wreckers here.

But I sealed the deal.

Why? so you could see Haley?

I know that you kissed her.

Listen, it takes two, curly, okay?

She didn't exactly push me away.

You're wasting your time, you know.

She's over you.

Then you got nothing to worry about.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hey, you guys, thanks a lot for coming out tonight

to check out the wreckers.

We have a lot of great music coming your way.

And we also have... Chris Keller.

[ Audience jeers ]

[ Scattered applause and jeers ]

What's he doing here?

I didn't know he was coming. I swear.

You guys still aren't ready for this,

but I'm in a forgiving mood.

This one's for you, Haley.

* I study up my hollow

* piece of wood to follow

* a day that doesn't come to the lucky *

* and I realize there's tomorrow *

* but I would rather wallow...

Have you told Brooke about the windshield?

I'm working up to it.

* ...Well, I'm cruising El paseo *

* in my off-white coup back '65 *

* or I'm cruisin' down my own street *

* and my hooptie says to me

* you better hang on to your bench seat *

* I'm gonna take you for a ride *

* and I'll let you know when it comes *

* when it comes, I'll let you know *

* but don't stay up for me

* don't wait up for me

* if I'm not home yeah, yeah *

* so I wait for fate to find me... *

maybe we should go.

No, no. I'm gonna waste that guy.

I thought you weren't coming.

My ride's running late.

Who's the stud?

Chris.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, this evening just got interesting.

* ...So next time that I see you in school *

* it won't be for too long

* and I'll let you know when it comes *

* when it comes, I'll let you know *

* but don't stay up for me

* don't wait up for me...

[ Cheers and applause ]

Thanks a lot, guys. You've been...

Acceptable.

The wreckers are up next.

Looking for an autograph?

No, actually, I was looking to kick your ass.

But then I realized...

Why bother?

There's nothing here for you.

Haley sees what you really are --

a pathetic poser.

I just wanted to let you know.

You're wrong.

You're just trying to silence that voice inside your head.

Yeah, you know the one.

It's growing louder every day.

It's saying, "we're drifting apart. I'm losing her."

Actually, it's saying, "shut this guy up once and for all."

Okay.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe she does love you.

She does.

What if that's not enough?

[ Cheers and applause ]

Peyton: okay, you guys, the wait is over.

Please join me in welcoming to tric,

Maverick recording artists

Michelle branch and Jessica harp -- the wreckers!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hey, thanks, you guys.

It's so great to be here in Tree Hill.

"Vote for Brooke."

Whoo!

[ The wreckers' "the good kind" plays ]

* do you wanna run away together? *

* I would say it was your best line ever *

* too bad I fell for it

* and I walked alone

* waiting for you to come along *

* take my tortured heart by the hand *

* and write me off

* do you know I cry?

* do you know I die?

* do you know I cry?

* and it's not the good kind

* oh, you forced me to become strong *

* and I just cried, being weak *

* yeah

* and you think you know

* and I would like to think so... *

hey, Karen.

I have a confession to make.

I'm jealous of Jules.

Ever since I had Lucas -- before that even --

you've been the one person i could count on.

It's gonna be hard to lose that.

Karen...

We'll still be in each other's lives.

That will never change.

I know.

It's just taking some getting used to.

* ...I'm tired of hiding

* behind these lying eyes *

* I'm tired of this smile

* that even i don't recognize... *

hey.

Um...

You played a really great set.

Yeah, I know.

All right, well...

Good luck.

You want to know about it, don't you?

The tour. The music.

It's all happening for me now.

It could still happen for you, Haley.

It will...Someday.

Well, someday's here.

I talked to Michelle. She wants you on the tour.

What?

People love the duet.

It's real.

You know, Jessica started off as Michelle's back-up singer --

look at her now.

The difference between wannabes and successes

is grabbing opportunity.

Our tour bus leaves in a couple hours,

and you know you should be on it.

You brave enough?

[ Distant cheering and applause ]

[ Water running ]

You know, now that Taylor's leaving,

maybe we'll have enough hot water for our own showers.

Haley...

What's wrong?

Um...

Michelle branch likes my voice.

She thinks I can be a singer -- a real one.

Chris said that she wants me on tour.

I'm so far ahead with classes,

and I'd be back in time for finals.

So says the great Chris.

No, this isn't about him, Nathan.

This is about opportunity.

I have, my entire life,

been the reliable one and the dependable one,

and I've always done precisely what's expected of me.

Until we got married.

Exactly. and then I finally did something for me --

something that I wanted --

and the world didn't end.

And I have that chance again.

If you leave me --

this is not the end for us.

This is my shot to find out

if I am good enough to have a life in music,

or if nights at tric are all I get.

And this has nothing to do with Chris?

No.

Absolutely not.

Then why haven't you asked me to come with you?

Did you kiss him?

Yes.

I'm s-- I'm sorry.

You have to believe me. That's not what this is about.

Nathan...

Haley, listen.

If you want to go, you should go.

If you do...

...we're done.

[ Door closes ]

Unpack.

I can't.

I said unpack!

No.

Lucas, Lucas.

If you just tell me what Dan has said or done,

we can fight him together.

No.

Mom, I can't.

[ Door closes ]

[ Baby fussing ]

Go back to sleep. I've got her.

[ Whispering indistinctly ]

[ Knock on door ]

Hey, mouth. You're just in time.

I am so buzzed from the reaction to my campaign

that I'm gonna practice my speech.

I'm the one who threw the brick through your car window.

I was drunk, and...

I was angry.

Angry about what?

Being a little brother to you...

And everyone else.

I'm not sure we can be friends anymore, mouth.

Me, neither.

It's too hard.

I thought I knew you...

But I guess it's easier to see what we want

than to look for the truth.

You think you know me, but you don't.

And that means you don't know what I can do.

[ "She has no time" by keane plays ]

You see me as someone who's popular

and has all the answers.

That's not true.

* ...She goes her own way

* she goes her own way...

I know what it's like to search for something more, Haley.

It's why I'm always running.

But then, I've never had a Nathan to come home to.

I may not always know what I'm doing,

but I'll try to make things better.

* ...And she can hardly breathe without you *

* she says

* she has no ti-i-i-me...

It's for you.

Come on.

Don't say I never gave you anything.

And when I make a mistake...

Because, face it, we all do...

He left.

[ Voice breaking ] and I don't know what to do.

...i promise I'll ask for your help.

* ...Then think about the day she found you *

* or lie to yourself...

[ Sobbing ]

* ...And see it all dissolve around you *

* she says...

Haley?

I'm sorry, Nathan.

She's gone.

* ...She says

* she has no ti-i-i-me...

I can't do this alone.

But if you'll take a chance on me,

we can do great things together.

I promise if you believe in me,

I'll find the courage to reach for your every dream.

You got everything you need?

Yeah.

Listen, uh...

Thank you for paying for my medication.

I don't want my mom to know,

so I need you to keep footing the bill.

Sure.

It will stay our secret.

But tell me something --

how did you convince her that you didn't have hcm?

I used Keith's negative results letter.

Really?

I wouldn't have pegged you as being so...

Duplicitous.

I guess I'm your son after all.

Brooke: John F. Kennedy said the courage of life

is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.

A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences,

in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures.

And that is the basis of all morality.

* ...When she says

* she has no ti-i-i-me

* for you now

* she says

* she has no ti-i-i-me

* for you now

* she says

* she has no ti-i-i-me
