ANNOUNCER: Previously on One Tree Hill:
MAN: You got a problem? JULIAN: Yeah, I do.
[GRUNTING]
Well, you have what's called a dissociative fugue disorder...
...where you temporarily become someone else.
CLAY: Why is there a kid here? - That's Logan.
He lost his parents.
- Bye, Lydia. - Hey, it looks like Nathan Scott...
...was on flight 2326 last night.
You lost everything in the fire. Why do you have this?
What else are you lying about, Dan?
Where is Nathan? What did you do to him?
WOMAN [OVER PHONE]: 911, what's your emergency?
I need your help. There's a murderer in my house.
And so we've heard from a guy who collects records...
...and lives in his parents' basement.
- Millie, what else is happening locally? - Let's see.
Well, allegedly, Tree Hill Café was vandalized last night...
...and supposedly, it was Karen's Café owner, Brooke Davis.
Tree Hill Café owner, Tara Richards, is not pressing charges...
...but would simply like everybody to know that Brooke Davis did it.
Allegedly.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Okay, not allegedly. Witnesses confirmed it.
Of course, not all witnesses are reliable.
MILLIE [OVER TV]: Exactly. MOUTH [OVER TV]: Right.
Unbelievable.
MOUTH [ON TV]: Sometimes, you have to- - That Tara is such a bi...
Bad person.
Hey, you know that Mommy was just protecting Daddy, right?
Right? You guys believe me, don't you?
Of course you do.
[CLANGING]
Hey.
- My God, what happened? - It's okay. It's just a bar fight.
- I slept on the couch. - A bar fight?
It doesn't even hurt.
- Let me see. - Ow.
Okay, it hurts a little.
Okay, you should lay down.
- Because I started it. - Why would you do that?
Because I left our baby in the car.
Okay.
I guess you found the punishment you've been looking for.
Why don't you ask Nathan what happens in bar fights?
Did you even think for one second about your family when you did this?
That's all I've been thinking about.
I was gonna ask you to take the boys to the sitter for me today.
But I can't have you going in there and scaring the kids.
- So I got it again. - I can do it.
Can you? Julian, I love you.
And I really wanna help you move past this...
...but I do not wanna raise two kids by myself.
So when you're ready to be a parent again, I could really use the help.
[SIGHS]
Where are you, Nathan?
Your daughter-in-law said Nathan wanted you out by the time he returned.
But he never returned.
So lucky you.
- I'm not sure I follow your logic. - I think you do.
Let's talk about the fire at the diner.
She said you admitted to burning down your own diner...
...just to get close to them. - You believe her.
Weren't you involved with a fire like this previously? At your car dealership?
You're right.
I lit the dealership fire, almost burning myself to death in the process...
...just so I'd have an excuse to murder my brother...
...and serve a full term in jail, get released...
...get a Third-World heart transplant...
...then write a book, start my own motivational talk show...
...give up my fortune, move to a remote diner...
...so I could burn it down and collect the $65,000 insurance policy...
...then get rid of my son, and move in with his family who hates me.
Nice work, detective. You caught me.
What's it take to be a Tree Hill cop these days? A pen?
This is the part where you either charge me or release me.
And that is why you should only park in handicap spaces if you're handicapped.
Karma, people. Look it up. Ha, ha.
- This can't be right. - What is it?
[CLEARS THROAT]
We're just getting initial reports that former NBA player...
...and Tree Hill resident, Nathan Scott, has been reported missing.
Scott, who became a sports agent...
... after retiring from the NBA due to a back injury-
This is not happening. This can't be.
MOUTH [ON TV] - where he was scouting potential prospects for his agency, Fortitude.
Okay. What can I do? Do you want me to take Jamie for the day?
No. I need to talk to him.
Hey, you okay?
Is it Dad? Is he okay?
Uh, actually, I needed to talk to you about that.
Um...
I know how brave you are, and I know that it's all gonna be okay.
But just right now...
...we're having a little trouble finding your dad.
I'm sure that he's fine.
He probably just got lost or something.
We're gonna find him.
Promise.
[LIGHTS BUZZING]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[GRUNTS]
[SERBIAN ACCENT] O, from this time forth,
My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!
[LAUGHS]
[DMITRI LAUGHS]
[DMITRI GRUNTS]
[LAUGHS]
[SIGHS]
We should burn those sheets.
You mean bronze them, champ.
CHRIS: Yo, yo!
Dude, what are we doing today?
Yo, what are you doing here?
In the neighborhood. Thought we could get some food.
[SHOWER STARTS]
Well, well, a little Not Alex action?
Maybe. And we already made plans.
Bail on her. Or better yet, take me with you. I can make dudes look so much better.
Ahh, come on, Chris.
- You should... You should really go. - Heh.
Nope. Besides, I wanna meet her.
You know what?
You're right.
Let's bail. She can find her way out.
Wait, are you serious?
She doesn't own me.
She's just lucky I let her stay the night. That tramp.
Damn.
Dude, you're colder than Chris Keller.
Who's that with the claws?
Dude, you gotta know your namesake.
That is Wolverine, also known as Logan.
- Why does he have two names? - Because Wolverine's his secret identity.
Who's that?
That's Cyclops. He's the frosty one of the two.
Kind of like my friend Nathan.
But they don't really get along because they both like her.
- That's Jean Grey. - She is cool.
And kind of hot for a comic-book chick.
- Anything else you wanna know? - Why do you come here?
Okay, Captain Subtle.
I don't really like to talk about it.
Not even with your doctor?
Not really.
Then you're gonna be here for a long time, like that old man who eats his buttons.
Thanks for the advice. Keep reading.
- Hey, Jerry, you got a sec? JERRY: Yeah.
Hey, listen, I'm really sorry about Nathan Scott. I know you're friends.
- Lf there's anything I can do... - I'm glad you said that.
I was thinking I could take time off from the morning show, look into things.
- Just temporarily. - I can't do that. I need you here.
Just for a few days. The show will be fine.
It's not just that. I'd have the News Department crawling up my ass...
...wondering why you're doing theirjob for them. I'm sorry.
But if you happen to put in some work after hours, I don't have to know about it.
[GRUNTS]
[LAUGHS]
I'm so sorry. My associate has a twisted sense of humor.
Take these off. I'll make him stop laughing.
[LAUGHS]
Why am I here?
Besides listening to your lame quotes.
- I learn English from Shakespeare. - What do you want?
You know, where I come from...
...we have all kinds of interests.
Guns, drugs, prostitution, gambling, basketball.
A franchise player leaves...
...owner loses money, owner not happy.
So I'm here because I tried to sign someone?
Signing is stealing.
And we don't care for thieves.
We have to set example that our interests...
...our property is not to be touched.
You, my friend, are that example.
Once we get the order, you're a dead man.
Over a basketball player? That's insane.
No, no, insane is crossing a man...
...who pays his players cash from a suitcase chained to his wrist.
You take his best player, you take his money.
You take his money...
...we take your life.
Um, is there a zombie apocalypse or something going on I don't know about?
It's been dead all morning. Pun intended.
Is this because I trashed that whorehouse next door?
Town should give me a medal for that.
I'd settle for some tips.
Brooke.
Did you see me on the news?
I guess people are more afraid of the crazy manager than the chef.
Crazy?
I'm crazy?
I'm not the one who put that horrific note on my husband's car.
Yeah. And I'm not the one that left a baby in it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a packed café to run.
This is not over.
Looks over to me.
[PHONE RINGS]
"I need you at the house ASAP, Haley."
How am I gonna explain this one?
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
- No. - Wait, wait, don't be afraid.
- I just wanna talk. I'm not upset with you. - I don't care, Dan.
I just wanna look for Nathan together.
He's my son. I love him.
I love Jamie. I love you.
I would never hurt my family.
It's my family. And you have.
I had nothing to do with it. Believe me.
I don't believe you. If it wasn't you directly it was because of something you've done.
What did you do to my dad?
- Jamie, it's not like that. - No, you're a liar. Just bring him back.
So, what now? You want me to tell my son that you're not a monster?
- I'm sorry. HALEY: Yeah, you are.
I want you to stay away from my house and stay out of our lives.
Julian Baker.
You're looking at him.
I'll take your word for it.
What happened to your face? Your wife beat you up?
Brooke's a feisty one, huh?
Dan Scott, what do you want?
Right to the point. Good.
I need a workspace.
I'll give you 3 grand a month to get rid of the rest of your clients.
I don't have any other clients.
Like I said, I'll give you 2 grand a month. I'll need a trailer and complete privacy.
To do what?
Let's make it 3 grand a month and you don't ask that question again.
It's nothing illegal.
Deal?
I'll show you the trailers.
Hey, I know why you're upset and I'm really sorry.
It's just Tara left this note on Julian's car and I flipped out.
Nathan's missing.
- What do you mean he's missing? - His flight landed...
...and he never came home.
Oh, my God, Hales, I'm so sorry.
I've been running around all day.
I'm here now. What can I do?
Can you watch the café? So I know it's in good hands and I don't have to think.
Yeah, of course. Anything.
Okay.
We've been through a lot, you and I.
We'll get through this.
Yeah.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
I'm hoping Tara sees me here. It pisses her off.
And you like that because?
I don't know. She likes the drama. We call it foreplay.
So I could tell you were pissed that I stood up Kid Keller.
- It's fine. - No, it's not.
You're right, it's not. If it makes you feel any better, his dad eventually showed up.
So you checked on him? That's pretty cool, dude.
In fact, Chris Keller has decided you're a good dude.
- Is that a good thing? - Hey.
Chris Keller doesn't just hand out those titles lightly.
The truth is, I don't have a lot of friends.
Anyway, I just... I just wanted to say I'm sorry...
...for playing a part in Alex taking that tour. I know it's been hard to deal with.
Chris Keller is here for you.
Wow. Ahem.
Well, uh, I appreciate that.
All right. We just gotta find you a girl like Tara now.
[CHRIS CHUCKLES]
- Logan asked me why I'm here. - What did you say?
Didn't really know what to say.
Well, it's not an easy thing to explain.
The amount of trauma that you've experienced in your life is, uh, significant.
People go through crap but they don't wake up on merry-go-rounds.
People don't watch their wife die in front of them...
...then get shot point-blank by a woman who looks like her either.
It's still just trauma.
You've been through a lot, Clay.
And I think maybe it's hard for you to admit that you need more help than most people.
You think somehow it diminishes you.
It doesn't.
- It's hard to think about it. Nathan. - I know.
When I left Haley, she was just about to meet with the detectives.
I thought that I had it bad, you know, with Julian...
...literally beating himself up over this Davis thing.
I can't imagine what this is like for Haley.
- How is she holding up? - She's a wreck.
Plus, she asked me to watch the café and I don't know how to tell her...
...when she comes back, there isn't gonna be a café.
Because of that bitch, Tara.
God, it feels good to swear without my kids here.
Well, I'm here to help.
You better be, especially after your little pro-Tara report this morning.
- I was just reading the news I was given. - Mm-hm.
But to make up for it, I have a very pro-Brooke idea.
- I'm listening. - What if you organized...
...some live music here like back in the day?
You could ask one of our current patrons.
Not Chase.
How's that for help?
Pretty good. I'm gonna need you to pick the twins up in an hour.
[GROANS]
What you got there, little man?
Some videos Dad sent me from Europe.
It doesn't matter how far I go, Jamie. You're always with me.
When I play this, it feels like he's right here talking to me.
But what if it's the last time I see him?
It's not going to be, okay?
Think of all the things your dad's come back from...
...a car crash, his back, your crazy nanny.
- Our crazy nanny who kidnapped me. - Exactly.
But here you are, because you're a Scott.
And no one is tougher or smarter than a Scott boy.
I love this game.
How did you...? Where did you come by this?
Our local friend.
He calls them Bones.
Heh. Like he'll be. Bones. Ha-ha-ha.
Hey, what are you waiting for anyway?
Huh? You got me here. What are you waiting for?
How poor are they that they have no patience!
They tell us to wait, we wait.
Well, who's "they"?
NATHAN: Hey...
You know I have a wife and two kids, right?
I have two wives...
...and six kids.
I also used to play in the NBA.
I can pay you. A lot of money.
It's not about money.
Right. It's about killing me over a basketball player. That makes sense.
We entered into contract.
You, as agent, should understand that.
Have you ever heard of a hold-out?
Two wives, six kids.
I'd milk every penny I could get. What...?
[GRUNTS]
No talking!
[GROANS]
Have you not heard of honor among thieves?
We gave our word, Nathan Scott, that you would die.
And so you will.
Knock, knock. You got a sec?
Mouth. What's up, man?
- Hey. - Hi.
I'd offer you a drink, but juice time is not for another half hour.
I'm good. I just... I wanted to come by and say I'm really sorry.
Thanks, you know, but hopefully I'll be flying this cuckoo's nest soon.
- Of course, but I meant about Nathan. - What about him?
They didn't tell you.
Clay, Nate's missing.
He landed in Tree Hill two days ago, and he never came home.
The police are involved now.
I'm sorry. I thought you knew. When's the last time you heard from him?
Uh, a voicemail.
He was scouting the Euro camps and said:
"I'm gonna be going off the beaten path."
Why did it take two days to hear about this?
We're all just learning about it.
I'm gonna look into things, see what I can find out.
If you think of anything else, let me know, okay?
Yeah.
I'll see you.
Mouth.
Keep me in the loop.
I will.
Okay. Thanks.
Well?
That was Detective Colvin.
HALEY: Uh-huh. - Um...
- Haley, this is gonna sound bad but... - What?
Um, they're searching the woods by the airport.
Posters will be up by this evening and...
There's a lot of good people out there looking for him.
He's gonna come home.
I never should have let Dan back into our life.
Look, I know you have a lot of history with Dan and that most of it is bad...
...but I went and saw him when I had problems with Katie...
...and he talked me out of doing something really stupid.
Are you saying that you trust him?
No, I just...
There's a lot worse people to have in your corner in a crisis, Haley.
He knows people.
Yeah, which is exactly why I don't want him anywhere near my family.
And neither should you.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Just wanted to see if you needed anything.
Yeah. The complete privacy that I paid for.
Another notepad.
What is that?
A list of my enemies.
Better make that two notepads.
Looking for Nathan, aren't you?
- You sure it's about you? - I don't know, but I'm gonna find out.
Can I help?
What happened to your face?
I was having a bad day, so I picked a fight.
- Apparently, you picked the wrong guy. - I didn't fight back.
Why not?
Because I was angry at myself...
...for leaving one of my infant sons in a hot car.
So you let yourself get beat up?
If I let someone kick my ass every time I did something, I'd be unrecognizable.
Great pep talk, Dan. No wonder your sons love you so much.
Let me ask you a question.
If I let you help me, who are you gonna be looking for?
Nathan or yourself?
Both.
When I got out of prison, I wrote a best seller with my ex-wife, Rachel.
- Also on the list, by the way. - My dad wanted to buy the rights.
- I talked him out of it. - Probably smart. The book's a fraud.
I made a deal with an investor in prison to buy 10,000 copies on the first day.
Once the book's a best seller, everyone would wanna read it.
Self-fulfilling prophecy.
At first, all I had to do is pay back the loan plus the interest.
But then the talk show became a hit.
My friend got greedy.
He threatened to tell the world how the book became a best seller.
Once the show ended, so did his payments.
That didn't make him very happy.
So you wanna confront this guy and see if he has something to do with Nathan?
Let me help.
- You can watch my back. That's all. - Fine.
Where are you going?
Are you leaving?
[WHISTLES]
You know...
- It's on the house. - Well, well...
...trying to buy me breakfast to get me back in the sack.
It's too bad I'm taken.
Actually, I was hoping...
...that you might consider performing here tonight, if possible.
It would really help us get our customers back.
Oh, I don't doubt it, but I can't.
I'm kind of doing the girl who runs Tree Hill Café.
Great.
Of course you are.
Figures that little tramp would be doing you and Chase at the same time.
- What? - Chase and Tara.
Chase? No, no, Tara's my girlfriend.
Why would you think Chase and Tara would...?
Come on.
Oh, crap.
Sorry.
Chase is doing Tara?
Oh...
Oh, man.
Chris Keller will play.
Clay?
Hey!
Hey! Hey! Where are you going?
- Do I know you? - Yes, it's me, Quinn.
I don't know you.
What? It's me. It's Quinn.
Hey, it's me, it's me. No.
It's okay. It's okay.
What's the last thing you remember?
I remember Logan asking me where I was going.
As you were leaving.
As I was leaving. You should have told me about Nate.
I wanted to and I would have, but I was afraid you would try to leave...
...and something like this would happen.
The silver lining is that we can learn from what happened today.
Clay, I hope you understand now.
The emergency you need to fix first here is you.
[SINGING] I need ya tonight
If walls could talk I'd be the prince of nothing charming
And it's drivin'you crazy, baby
Oh, you love like you wanted a fire
Like you need it tonight
Baby, it's beautiful
Oh, when you scream Like a gun in the night
Yeah, you started a fire
And it's like you don't know
Baby, you're beautiful
Well, it's 10 to midnight And this cheap champagne is wearing off
She's tearing off-
Not bad, Millicent Huxtable.
I know. I tweeted it.
I did too. I expect a glowing review on tomorrow morning's show.
- This is our lead-in. - Or it could be this.
CHRIS [SINGING]: She's got it to an art
And this is how I fall apart
What the hell are you doing helping my competition?
Why the hell are you sleeping with my best friend?
Yeah.
All right, we're gonna take an intermission. I'm gonna need to see you outside.
BROOKE: Well...
Chris Keller, everyone.
- Listen, Chris, it's not what you... - Unh!
- Ow! What the hell was that? - I would've punched you...
...except I don't wanna hurt my guitar hands, so just, huh, consider yourself punched.
Ow!
You're right. I deserve whatever the hell that was.
- I'm sorry. - Man, this whole time...
...you made me think Not Alex was ugly because you didn't introduce me to her.
I didn't know you thought that.
I didn't know Tara was your girlfriend at first.
- At first! - I was mad at you for standing up Chuck.
- I apologized for that. - Not until after I slept with her.
But I just...
I'm sorry, okay?
I knew better and...
I'm sorry.
Man.
You and Tara.
You know what this means, right?
[ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING]
And then that's when Chase here swooped in and stole my girl.
- Poor baby. I'm so sorry. That's terrible. - Come on, we weren't even friends yet.
Let me take you to the VIP room, lift your spirits. Half-price.
Make it full price.
I bank with Chase.
My pin is "backstabber."
JULIAN: So, what's the plan? - I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
I'll say we just got in an accident.
- That's not gonna work. - Of course, it will. Look at your face.
Hi. Julian Baker, Director's Guild of America.
We love your house and we wanna shoot it for a movie I'm directing.
Can we see inside?
I've always wanted to be in the pictures. Please, come in.
Hey.
How you feeling?
Aunt Quinn says that Dad's tough and smart.
And she's right.
I think he'll be okay.
You're such a brave young man.
And I can't wait to brag about you to your dad when he comes home.
Are you okay, Mom?
I know we're gonna find him.
I know it.
This is the investor?
What's left of him.
I thought I recognized you.
I know what you've come here for.
My husband was blackmailing you. What do you want?
My son's missing.
Well, we had nothing to do with that.
As you can see, we have bigger problems.
[RINGS]
It's for you.
Take my money. Get rich.
You're their only link. They're gonna find a reason to kill you too.
Say the word.
You work for the man or you be the man. When you gonna be the man?
- I am the man. - You're the man's bitch. Be the man!
- Say it. - Enough.
Phone rings, he dies. That's it.
Wait, wait, wait.
Phone rings, he dies.
But what's to say, phone rings, we get rich.
I'm here to kill a man.
Don't make me kill two.
I hear you, my friend, and I respect you.
Could we have a moment, please?
Away from this dog?
[GUNFIRE]
Okay.
We talked it over.
Now I'm going to ransom you.
Who is man? Who is bitch now, bitch?
[LAUGHS]
One million six, one million seven...
Ha, ha. You're so funny.
- I'm looking for Chase and Chris. - Which one?
- I'm curious. - It's none of your business.
They went to a strip club.
So I'm sure you'll see them when you get there for your shift.
One bajillion eight...
Ugh, I am just gonna need to get a bigger vault.
- So you had one good night. - Mm.
- How long you think you can keep this up? - Well, Chris Keller has volunteered...
...to play here whenever we need him.
So as long as you are here.
Looks pretty dead over there tonight.
I guess people are even more afraid of the crazy show-crashing slut...
...than the soup-throwing hero.
Sleep tight.
Saw you burning the midnight oil.
- Thought you might be hungry. - Thanks.
I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for.
See you tomorrow.
Hey.
Are you mad at me?
You didn't even say goodbye.
Well, that's only because of my condition.
All right. The truth is, sometimes I wander because I'm not myself.
That's why I come here.
But that other me doesn't know who you are.
I thought you left because you didn't like me.
What? You're my best friend in here.
Hey, can we can read more X- Men tomorrow?
Does Wolverine have adamantium claws?
That's a yes.
Cool.
Hey, maybe that other you is a secret identity.
That would pretty much be the coolest thing ever.
Just, uh, don't tell anyone, okay?
I won't. I promise.
You weren't horrible today.
Thanks.
So, what's next?
I'm going back to work. You're going in there to be with your family.
You think you got it bad? You left one of your kids in the car.
I left mine for good.
You're a good father, Julian. You're gonna be a good father.
Go on. Go inside, kiss your wife.
Do something I can't.
Hug your sons.
Because trust me, I'd give anything to be able to do that again.
Go on.
We'll find him.
Mouth? Is that you in there?
Let me guess. You're here to accuse me of hurting Nathan.
No, actually. I'm here because I found something that could help find him.
Nathan didn't like players in the Euro camp, so he went off the beaten path.
I'm thinking Eastern and Central Europe.
Basketball is a shady business over there.
A lot of the teams are owned by criminals.
- You came to me. - I went to see Haley...
...and Quinn suggested I come to you. I didn't want to.
Maybe it's something.
I'll check it out.
Anything I can do?
Yeah. Go easy on the carbs.
Take this number down. It's my attorney.
He'll arrange your payment.
I said I was going to ransom you. I didn't say to who.
- What the hell are you talking about? - Family is too messy.
I'll sell you to the people who want you dead.
- What? - You were right.
You know the team owner, you know the players.
You can make trouble.
Your death is more valuable now.
- You're just charging them more to kill me. - At least you bought yourself more time.
But, yes.
Either way...
...we're still going to kill you.
No, I have no comment at this time. Please stop bothering us.
Here, honey.
Honey, you're walking.
Ha-ha-ha. Honey, you're walking.
[HALEY LAUGHS]
[English - US - SDH]
