NARRATOR: Previously on One Tree Hill:
[PLAYING BALLAD]
JUDGE: You are heading down a dangerous path.
- You don't have a job... - Your Honor, she does have a job.
She works for me.
How did we get the funding?
My father and I put up the money because I believe in you.
The movie shoots in a week and we don't have a designer.
Which is why I'm asking you now.
We just broke up.
I wanna direct.
You were at the top of the list. Better get to work.
I'm sorry I lied to you.
This is yours. Just...
Maybe don't give it to Taylor, heh.
So let's make someone's favorite movie.
[ALL APPLAUD]
Okay. What?
David left me.
Smart move.
You're not looking to me for sympathy.
I really liked him.
Yeah.
And nobody's ever left me before.
Especially not a guy like David.
And what's that supposed to mean?
It's not like he's a super-big catch or anything.
Oh, look. Nine across.
Superficial bitch.
T-A-Y-L-O-R.
Language.
Oh, come on, this happens every morning...
- You should get up earlier. - Make more when you take the last of it.
- I didn't. Quinn did. QUINN: No, I didn't.
Who ate all my cereal?
- Quinn. QUINN: Taylor.
Sorry, buddy, Taylor likes to take things that aren't hers.
- Sweetie, we have plenty more cereal. - So, Hales...
- Huh? - David broke up with Taylor.
[CHUCKLES]
I'm glad you find my heartbreak amusing.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You guys broke up?
Oh, no.
Okay. Come on, let's go out for breakfast.
- Good idea. Bye, Mom. - Bye.
Ahh. Way to go, Taylor. You cleared the house again.
TAYLOR: No, you did with your morning breath.
HALEY: No milk? You kidding me?
Well, somebody's trying to win the super-assistant award this morning.
Morning, Victoria.
Double nonfat macchiato, should still be hot.
Aren't these pieces amazing?
I've already steamed, priced and displayed the rest of the shipment. Look.
- What? - Are you?
How are you feeling?
I'm fine, really.
This isn't the manic-work of drug-doer Millie.
I'm just really, really trying to prove myself to you and Brooke.
Promise me that if things get hard...
...you don't disappear to some dark alley.
You can talk to me.
No dark alleys for me, I promise.
The advance can't be 50 percent applicable and you know this.
[KNOCKING]
Uh-huh.
Well, yeah, it's because it's standard in these types of deals.
All right, Clay's got all the good stuff. What do you want?
Um, can I mix fruity ones with cocoa ones?
That's gross. Go for it.
What's up, Nate? How you doing, J. Scott?
- Hey, buddy. - Hi.
Too many girls at our house, not enough cereal.
Oh, glad to see your priorities are straight.
Cereal first.
[CELL PHONE BUZZING]
Hoo. I'll be outside.
Crazy endorsements.
[SINGSONGY] Amazing.
- Clay's got all the good stuff. - Yes, he does.
Hey.
- Hi. - How's everything going?
Uh, okay, I guess. I'm struggling with the dialogue in this scene.
It doesn't feel honest.
What's the scene?
It's the one where he leaves her.
Oh.
Well, I think all girls understand the moment there's another girl.
So maybe it's about what they don't say.
Actually, I was thinking he doesn't say enough, you know?
I mean, she's gotta know that he loved her.
But, I mean, if she doesn't...
...he needs to find the words to convince her.
And what are those words?
JULIAN: I don't know yet.
But I'm gonna find them.
I mean...
...the movie depends on it.
Right.
Well, then I should get back to work.
HALEY: I know. I mean, give me a break.
NATHAN: What are you guys doing here? - Uh, we are out for breakfast.
NATHAN: You're hiding from Taylor?
Hiding? No.
- Yes, we are. NATHAN: Yeah.
[HALEY SCOFFS THEN QUINN GIGGLES]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[WHISPERS] Don't answer.
- Really, bitches? - Language.
You're hiding. I get it.
Uh, no, we aren't. We were just leaving.
Whatever. I guess it'll just be me and Mom, then.
Well, well.
Hiding from Taylor.
Grandma.
Hey, handsome. Ooh.
What are you doing here?
What? I can't come to see my three favorite daughters?
- We know you don't like Taylor much. - Lord, some things never change.
- Get over here. NATHAN: Ha, ha.
- Nathan. How are you, sweetie? - Hey, how are you? Good to see you.
Can we make her sexier?
I mean, not slutty. Just sexier?
Yeah.
We'll tuck this and...
- No, I like the sleeves up. - Slutty.
I'm gonna take up the hem.
Okay. Whatever you think. Rehearsal in 20?
Yeah, we'll be ready.
You didn't have to do that. With the sleeves.
I know.
- But it looks better like this. - Oh.
Right.
I need you to pick one.
I like them both.
You decide.
Try this one on while I fix what you're wearing.
Brooke, I'm sorry that you and Julian broke up.
Okay.
Okay. I'll try this on.
[DOG BARKING]
Hey, be careful.
Isn't it about time for you and Nathan to have another one?
I mean, you're not getting any younger.
Very funny.
Neither is Quinn.
Oh, thanks.
[LYDIA SIGHS]
I always thought that you and David would have lots and lots of babies.
Yeah, that's Taylor's department now.
What?
- Tay and David? - Well, not anymore.
- He broke up with her this morning. - Oh.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I'm happy and he's happy.
Taylor's unhappy.
That's all that matters.
Clay is kind of cute.
Clay's amazing.
Well, that's good.
What about you, Mom?
You okay without Daddy?
I am today.
- You like it? - I'm not flower-friendly.
Everybody likes flowers.
I didn't say I dislike them. I can't keep them alive.
Flowers in a vase are better.
They last a limited amount of time, and no care is required.
Are you scared?
Of what?
Being my girlfriend?
Look...
...l'm not your girlfriend.
The odds of that happening are about as good as me keeping that orchid alive.
Slim to none.
And let's be honest.
You're the one that's scared.
You're talented and yet you won't make a record.
I'd just like to know why.
It's too personal.
Ugh. "It's too personal."
Are those supposed to wash it all away? The "I'll always love yous"?
The "I don't blame yous"? The "forevers"?
Cut. Let's go again.
Julian, this is the 14th take. She's not getting it.
We're into a couple of meal penalties. We gotta move on.
It's an important scene, Dad. She'll get it.
I'm so sorry. I can't get there emotionally. I'm trying, but...
- It's okay. - No, it's not okay. I suck.
No. You'll find it.
They're your words. You wrote them because they mean something to you.
Okay. I know you can do this.
Just say the line to me.
Ahh. Sure, help me. Clean me up. Make me immaculate.
Fill me up with your promises and words and lies.
Okay. Say it again, just stay with me.
Let me help you.
Say the line again, but look at me.
Just stay with me.
Sure, help me.
Clean me up.
Make me immaculate.
Fill me up with your promises...
Roll camera. We're gonna tail slate it.
Again.
Elise, let me help you.
Sure, help me.
Clean me up.
Make me immaculate.
Fill me up with your promises and words and lies.
- Elise, please. - Tears, Max?
They supposed to wash it all away?
The "I'll always love yous"?
The "I don't blame yous"? The "forevers"?
JULIAN: Cut.
Check the gate.
- It's perfect. - Ha, ha.
A-mark.
Good job.
You did it.
No, Alex did it.
[PAUL PATS JULIAN]
You're feeling a bottle of something, but you should stick with water.
Safer emotionally.
You wanna talk about it?
I took a job to be near my ex.
It's painful.
But it's worse to be away from him.
Sorry. I don't mean to be the sad, pouty girl...
...who comes and dumps all her problems on you.
You are talking to a guy who wrote an entire album about a girl.
Every song.
What happened?
She's with someone else now.
How did you know it was over?
For the longest time, whenever I would see her...
...even after we weren't together anymore...
...she would tell me that she missed me.
And I would look into her eyes and I knew she meant it.
Then one day, she just stopped saying it.
And I knew she was gone.
I went in for one drink, told my daughter to stay in the car.
That Mama would be right back. Two hours later...
Excuse me. Hi. Would you mind signing this really quick?
It's just a court thing.
- You don't have to explain. - Oh.
You know, it might help you to stay.
That's okay. It was just a small driving incident. I'm fine.
CLAY: Thank you. - Here you go.
Quinn's told me a lot about you.
[CLAY CHUCKLES]
All good, I hope.
Mm-hm. You make her very, very happy.
You know that worried look she gets? It's gone.
She means the world to me.
I was sorry to hear about your wife.
I lost my husband too a few years back.
- Quinn mentioned that. - Mm-hm.
I'm sorry too.
It's hard, isn't it?
Learning to live without them?
Yeah.
It's hard making new memories.
You know, like it's not fair to them.
I think it's not fair to them not to.
I mean, they'd want that, wouldn't they?
They'd want to know that we faced their absence with dignity.
Grace.
Yeah, well, the truth is...
...l'm not sure I've been that gracious about any of it.
You're still here, aren't you?
Still finding your way?
That's about as much grace as anyone can ask.
Oh, Haley. I'm so glad you're here.
You're chipper. I don't think you've ever been happy to see me.
I need you to convince Grubbs to record.
Um, I'm sorry, my mom's in town, so I'm gonna be spending the day with her.
Since when do you need help convincing somebody...
...to do something they don't wanna do? - It's true. But this one's different.
He called me his girlfriend.
That's so sweet.
It's not sweet. Don't confuse the issue. He's really good. My label could use him.
You totally have a boyfriend.
[CHUCKLES]
Go get them, tiger.
He's not my boyfriend.
Whoa. This is cool. It's exactly like Uncle Lucas' house.
Hey, there's my first AD.
- Oh, cool. - So I need some background footage...
...of the set and behind-the-scenes stuff.
Think you can handle that?
So you working hard or hardly working? Shrek 2.
Ha, ha. Dude, that's your movie quote?
That's like a common expression.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Wow, Shrek 2.
I like Shrek 2.
- Hey, bitch. MILLIE: Hey.
Oh, you're cranky.
No, I'm not. I'm fine.
Sort of cranky that I have to go to these meetings.
It's losers with serious problems.
[SCOFFS]
"Leave your kid in a car or burn your house down...
...because you're so wasted" problems. Mine, not so big.
- Right. - Whatever.
How's being a movie star again?
Try worst actress ever.
Fourteen takes this morning. Not awesome.
Julian was great, but I'm just... I'm really frustrated.
You'll be okay.
You're Alex Dupre.
AD: Alex, they're ready for you. - Okay. Thanks.
Yeah, hopefully, Alex Dupre figures it out...
...before she brings down the whole movie set. Later, bitch.
Oh, Millie.
Those people at the meetings?
Their problems started out not so big too.
[SIGHS]
So I want the camera to circle right...
...while zooming as if we're being drawn into them.
Then I wanna slow the movement and end on a tight close-up of Alex.
No cutting. Got it?
Nice shot, Hitchcock.
It's Vertigo, right?
Hey, beauty. I have the suit sample.
[BROOKE GASPS]
Give me, give me, give me.
I die. I love it.
- Yeah? - I love it with a slimmer leg.
- An eighth of an inch on either side. - Got it.
So I'm thinking we'll be ready to unveil in about a month.
- You are good, Alexander Coyne. - No, you're good, Brooke Davis.
- Brooke, they're doing last looks. - Okay.
And you look hot.
- Wow. - Ha, ha.
Do you need any help with that?
No, I'm good, but feel free to go make the adjustments to that suit now.
Or you could just stay and do it later.
Okay.
Really?
What? She is pretty hot.
Another guy hypnotized by Alex.
She's like a freaking siren.
Hey, there's no woman as alluring as you, Brooke Davis.
I think I should get back to work.
Good idea. Hey.
I appreciate you being around.
I know you didn't sign up for a lot of this.
Yeah, no worries.
I'm here for whatever you need.
So Alexander is kind of a tool, huh?
If by tool, you mean really good designer.
Yeah. Tool.
Wow, and I was just gonna tell you that you did a really good job with Alex...
...on that scene today.
And then I was maybe gonna tell you that you're a natural.
I don't know if a natural would need 14 takes to direct one scene.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Is this too hard on you?
I'm okay.
- Julian, can I talk to you? - Yeah.
I was just leaving.
I see you're driving that truck. What happened to your Mercedes?
I sold it.
To help finance the movie?
Mm-hm.
You shouldn't be risking everything.
- Look, I gotta get back to work, Dad. - Then I'll get to the point.
Alex has to be better or we're gonna be in serious trouble here.
She will be.
ASSISTANT: Your coffee, sir. - Thank you.
Jamie. Hey, bug.
You are exactly what I need to brighten my day. What are you doing?
JAMIE: Capturing behind-the-scenes footage.
Oh, well.
Make me look fabulous.
- Hi. - How you doing?
You know, working on the ex-boyfriend's movie...
...in the ex-ex-boyfriend's house is kind of weird, but I'm managing.
What's going on with the ex-boyfriend part?
Trying to be friends.
He's okay with that?
He's fine. I'm fine.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Well, let me know if you need me to knock some sense into the guy.
Thanks.
WOMAN: Okay, probably. This would be sort of cute. There's this size.
MILLIE: Can I help you find anything? - We're just looking.
Okay.
Hey, aren't you the model for Clothes Over Bro's?
Yeah. Well, I was for that campaign.
Why are you folding clothes?
Oh. Um...
I do a lot of things for the company.
Well, let me know if you need anything.
WOMAN: Yeah.
- [WHISPERS] Gosh, she looks so plain. - [WHISPERS] I know.
[WOMEN WHISPER INDISTINCTLY]
Hi. You got a sec?
Yeah. Of course.
First of all, I just wanna thank you for everything you've done for me.
It means...
- Well, it means a lot. - Don't worry about it.
- What's going on? - You sold your car.
- How much money did you put up? JULIAN: Alex, l...
Julian, how much?
All of it.
Julian, what if I let you down?
- Then what? - You're not gonna let me down.
But you put everything into this movie. Why did you do that?
MAN: Two minutes.
Because you put everything you had into the script.
And it's good.
And you're good.
Okay, you're not gonna let me down.
ALEX: Okay.
LYDIA: Oh, Haley, it is such a beautiful home.
I am so proud of you and Nathan.
Thanks.
I feel really lucky to have him and Jamie.
And it's great, you know, because all the stuff doesn't matter so much.
I'm grateful to have the extra space now that Quinn and Taylor are here.
Well, it's an important role, being your sisters' keeper.
They're lucky to have you.
Well, I'm glad that you're here because I don't speak Taylor fluently...
...and I really need you to translate. - Taylor has always been rebellious.
That girl follows her heart without thinking twice about it.
- Or once. - Ha-ha-ha.
So...
...what's going on, Mom?
What brings you into town?
I'm just checking in on my babies.
Started with the oldest, finished with the best.
- Hmm. Nobody told me you were coming. - Because I wouldn't let them.
- I'm a big fan of surprises. - Oh.
Come on. Fill me in on everything that's been going on...
...and don't leave out the good parts.
Okay.
- Well, Jamie's going to a new school and... - Mm-hm.
So you don't wanna make a record because it's too personal?
- That's right. MIRANDA: Personal sells albums.
Personal wins Grammys.
People can... Okay, well, most people can relate to personal.
They wanna hear the songs with the words that they're too afraid to say.
So...
...when you're ready...
...man up...
...and make a record with me.
I can't believe this looks exactly like Uncle Lucas' room.
Hey, remember that time he had a mohawk?
NATHAN: Ha, ha. Yeah. - That was cool.
You miss him?
Yeah. I miss lots of people.
I guess.
Aunt Peyton, Uncle Skills, Quentin.
Grandpa Dan. I miss him a lot.
Yeah, it's hard when you miss people.
But if you miss them, it means you're lucky.
It means you had someone special in your life. Someone worth missing.
Yeah. I guess.
I just don't like the missing part so much.
Yeah. Me neither.
QUINN: Ha-ha-ha. HALEY: Not fair.
TAYLOR: It's true. - Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my God. You remember this?
- This is horrible. HALEY & LYDIA: Ha-ha-ha.
Mom, look at my hair. You gave me the most awful haircut.
It wasn't, it was cute, baby.
Look at you with your little face and those great big glasses.
She was teased for that haircut, like, every day.
LYDIA: Ha, ha. - Yeah, I cried for, like, a week.
I wore a mop head around to have a princess hair.
Haley was such a pudge. Ha-ha-ha.
I was a baby, you're supposed to be fat when you're a ba... Give me that.
Do you remember when you used to stuff your bra? Like a lot?
- Mom, you have pictures of this? Stop. HALEY: Ha, ha.
I think I have pictures of just about all of it.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Oh.
[CHUCKLES]
- Are you okay, Mom? LYDIA: Um...
I'm sick.
[LYDIA CHUCKLES]
Look at me, I swore I wasn't gonna cry but, boy, these tears are stubborn.
[LYDIA SNIFFS]
Mom, you're gonna be okay, though, right?
No. I'm not.
What do you mean, Mom? Tell us what's wrong.
I have cancer.
- No, no, no, Mom. LYDIA: It's pancreatic.
And that means that even with, uh, aggressive treatment...
...I wouldn't have much time left.
- There has to be options, right? - There aren't, Quinnie.
- You have to try. - Okay, now, I have made my decision.
And what I want to do is I want to live the rest of my life fully.
With my family.
Not in some cold hospital.
Mom, you need to be doing everything that you can right now.
Haley, I have come to terms with this.
And this is how I want to do it.
- You're giving up. - No. I am not giving up.
- I'm gonna die. - Mom, don't say that.
I can't change that, okay? So I've accepted it.
How? How do you just accept it, Mom?
You have to fight.
Because I want to enjoy the time I have left.
Like you've been enjoying every day since Dad died?
You're giving up and you know it.
You're committing suicide, I mean...
Quinn can take a picture of it, we can add it to this stupid box.
Taylor. Tay.
Here's my wardrobe.
Thanks.
I shortened the dress for tomorrow, it'll look pretty.
All the clothes are really great.
Rough day, huh?
I've had plenty of those.
Yeah, guess they're going around.
Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
Alex...
...you're doing good.
You think?
Thanks.
How's my first AD doing?
Get some good footage?
- Tons. You wanna see? - Hit me.
- I got a lot of Aunt Brooke. BROOKE [ON SCREEN]: Jamie.
Bug, you are exactly what I need to brighten my day.
What are you doing?
She's pretty great.
How about you hang onto this because you'll need it next time you visit set?
- Really? JULIAN: Mm-hm.
Sweet.
Hi.
[DOOR OPENS]
Hey, you.
Baby?
What's wrong?
My mom... My mom.
She came to tell us that she...
She came to tell us that she was dying.
CLAY: I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
Not really, no.
Would you like to talk about it?
What is there to say? Heh.
You want me to say I'm mad?
I'm mad.
This is not fair.
I know.
You say, "I have cancer," and my whole world changes.
What am I supposed to do with that, Mom?
When I need advice on how to be a good mother to Jamie, I call you.
When I need advice on how to be a good wife, I call you.
When I'm sad or mad or happy or whatever, I call you...
...and I need you to be here.
And I am always, always gonna be a part of you, baby...
...but you are a wonderful mother and a wonderful wife all by yourself.
Baby, you are incredibly strong.
Think about everything that you have faced, and no matter how difficult...
...you have always found the graceful way to handle it.
Well, you are going to have to find that strength now.
I don't want to.
I don't wanna be strong for this, Mom.
I need you to be.
And your sisters, they need you to be.
We are going to have to be strong.
For everybody else who can't be.
Mom?
Why did you call me here? You should be home, resting.
[SCOFFS]
I'm sick, Quinn.
I'm not a child.
Yeah, but you've had a long day.
It was a perfect day.
This space...
...has your name all over it.
Your photographs.
It's time for you to open a studio and a gallery.
So I've paid the first six months' rent.
- Okay, but, Mom, you know that... - No. No. No excuses.
You can do this and you need to do this.
Your work, baby, is important and it's good...
...and you need to believe in that.
Okay.
Thank you.
Are you scared?
[LYDIA CLEARS THROAT]
I think...
...that knowing that your dad is there helps.
Is he, though? I mean...
...does that place even exist?
Oh.
Of course it does.
I'm just gonna miss all of this.
I love you.
You're gonna say goodbye, right?
Taylor, you're making a mistake.
Taylor, please.
I'm not gonna sit here and watch her give up.
Does everything have to be about you? Do you have to be so selfish?
She's the one that's being selfish.
Are you kidding me? She needs us right now.
No. What she needs is to fight.
You need to stop acting like you know what's best for everyone. You don't.
If you leave, you're gonna regret this.
Maybe. Maybe I will.
But I'm not gonna stay here and watch her die.
- Hey. - Hey.
It's not supposed to be like this, you know?
She's supposed to watch us get married and have kids.
Watch our kids grow up and go to prom.
And graduate high school. This is not fair.
I know.
I'm really glad you're here.
Me too.
I don't think I can handle it without you.
LYDIA: Hey.
Knock it off.
[LYDIA GRUNTS]
All right.
Let's have a little wine.
Where's Taylor?
Taylor is not coming. She left.
And I tried to get her to stay. But she wouldn't.
Not even to say goodbye.
So I'm sorry.
It's okay.
No, it's not. It's not okay.
You need her right now and we need her, and it's not right for her to do this.
You know what?
Everyone...
...has to deal with this...
...in their own way.
It'll be okay.
MILLIE: Marvin?
Marvin.
[SIGHS]
I am not plain.
I'm fine the way I am.
I'm fine.
[SIGHS]
MILLIE: Hi. Um...
My name is Millicent.
And I'm new here.
And, um...
I don't really know what to say, but...
I keep telling everybody I'm fine...
[SNIFFS]
...and I'm not fine.
You were good today.
Good, not great.
I'm letting everyone down.
Need someone to get drunk with you?
It's water. And I don't get drunk when I'm sad.
I sleep with boys.
You wanna get out of here?
Do you have to think about it?
No, I was just... I was giving you a chance to change your mind.
I don't do that either.
Well, okay, then.
Let's get out of here.
How you doing?
Taylor's gone. She left.
My mom says I'm my sisters' keeper...
...but I couldn't make her stay.
I'm not the glue.
My mom is.
When she's gone, everything is gonna fall apart.
Hey. Okay, come here.
[SOBBING]
I'm scared.
[SIGHS]
I'm heading out.
You okay?
Yeah.
Tired.
Well, for what it's worth, I think you're doing great.
Thanks.
Coming from you...
...that means everything.
Hey, Brooke.
I miss you.
Coming from you, that means everything too.
BROOKE [ON SCREEN]: Jamie. You are exactly what I need to brighten my day.
What are you doing?
- Oh, well. Make me look good. - All right, buddy, it's time for bed.
Okay.
- Hey, Dad? - Yeah?
I was thinking I might wanna be a director...
...instead of a basketball player when I grow up. Or maybe both.
As long as you're happy.
Is Mom coming up?
Mom is gonna spend some time with her mom tonight, all right?
Okay.
Night, buddy.
[ENGLISH - US - SDH]
