Previously on One Tree Hill.
Somebody has a gun inside and they're shooting.
We're getting out of here, okay?
Get away from the door.
We gotta get you somewhere safe. Come on.
No, don't leave me, please.
You're gonna tape a line down the center of the room.
Go on!
If I say,
"I love you" right now,
will you hold it against me?
Don't push me.
He's not gonna do it!
- Back him up! - Listen to him.
I promise you.
Whoever steps into that hallway is gonna die.
It's never gonna be the same.
This is wrong, man. All of this.
This is your fault.
I just wanted it to stop.
Just take it all back.
You got to let me try to talk to him.
Jimmy, please.
I'm sorry.
No!
He's gone, Danny.
He's gone.
Over here, Danny. I found something.
It's a raven.
What's wrong with it?
I think its wing is broken,
but we can nurse him back to health.
Come on, help me catch him.
He'll fly again. You'll see.
No! Why did you do that? Why'd you kill him?
He was weak.
I wanna go home.
"Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
"I would fly away and be at rest.
"My companion attacks his friends, he violates his covenant.
"His speech is smooth, yet war is in his heart.
"But you, O God, will bring down the wicked
"into the pit of corruption.
"Bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live out half their days.
"As for me, I trust in you."
And now, we ask for the strength to navigate the stages of our grief
as we lay our brother, Keith, to rest.
The stages of our grief.
Anger, fear, guilt,
depression, acceptance.
Dan.
And the first seeds of grief.
I guess everybody's just gonna change and go back to Karen's, okay?
People are definitely gonna change.
Will you unzip me?
Oh, Haley, I love you.
I love you, too.
It's all so uncertain.
God, I love you.
I don't ever want to come that close to losing you again.
I need you to be safe, okay?
I told you. I'm not going anywhere.
They expected 200 people at his wake.
They got, like, 2,000.
People loved Keith, you know?
I was the worst mechanic on the planet,
but he gave me a summer job because he knew I needed the money.
We hung out that whole summer talking old-school basketball with him.
Me, Skills, Mouth.
And Jimmy.
Jim's funeral is on Tuesday.
Jimmy Edwards killed my uncle.
Do not talk about him, not in my mother's house.
Peyton, hi.
Hey.
Lucas, I'm so sorry.
I wanna thank you for saving my little girl.
Thank you.
Hey, buddy.
Hey.
I'm sorry I haven't checked in lately.
- I've just been with Lucas and Karen. - No, of course.
I'm glad you're okay. I mean, you're gonna be okay, right?
Yeah, I'm gonna be fine.
I just have to do some physical therapy stuff, so...
Okay. Well, can I get you anything? Any food...
No, I'm okay, really.
I just came to see Karen.
Okay.
Peyton.
I'm really glad you're okay.
Okay, we are the worst family /friends in the whole world.
We really should be at Lucas'.
You're right.
Just stay here for a second.
Okay.
You know, when I was a kid, I had this morning paper route.
And every morning there was this moment,
it was right around dawn,
and I would just stop, breathe it all in.
You could almost feel the magic in the world.
But lying here with you, I feel that same stillness.
I can almost believe that the world's not as screwed up as I know it is.
My mom's coming home. She called.
Well, at least now you won't have to live alone in this big giant house.
No, but she will.
I want us to live together.
I wanna be your husband again, Haley.
That sounds so good to me.
But I have a roommate named Brooke.
That doesn't matter.
And our dream schools are 3,000 miles away.
Doesn't matter.
- And neither of us have jobs. - It doesn't matter.
You know how long it took me to realize that?
The amount of time it takes to pull a trigger.
I love you, Haley James, and that's all I need to know.
And it doesn't mean it's not gonna be hard.
It doesn't mean it's not gonna be confusing,
but, whatever it is, we'll face it together.
You are quite charming, you know that?
You haven't even seen my A-game.
Oh, Lord help me if that's true.
It's Scott, by the way.
You called me Haley James.
Haley James Scott.
And it always will be.
Welcome back, students.
Today, as we return to our school with heavy hearts,
you will note some changes.
At the entrance to our school, you will see metal detectors.
They are here for your safety.
You will see an armed police presence on campus.
They are here for your well-being.
We can try to make the school safer.
We can try to protect you.
But there are few precautions that we can take to protect your hearts.
Hey.
Let's just go to class, okay?
- Come on. - Hey, just...
I want to urge you all to reach out...
Give me one second.
... to your teachers and counselors today.
Form grief circles and talk about it.
If you're feeling scared,
if you're feeling vulnerable or confused,
don't keep it inside. Let it out.
You are not alone.
And this is your school.
Hey, roommate.
Hey.
This is the saddest thing.
It's the material for Karen's wedding dress,
- I ordered it the morning... - Yeah.
Listen, I have some good news.
Okay.
Nathan and I want to be together again. Like, for real.
- Haley, that's awesome. - Yeah, it kind of sucks, though.
I'm gonna miss you.
You've become a really good friend.
Yeah, you, too.
When am I losing you?
Soon as we can find an apartment, you know.
- Okay. - Yeah.
Whenever that is, you go be happy.
Life's too short, you know?
Hey, kiddo. How'd you do at school?
Fine, just tired.
Well, the doctor said that would happen, so, you know, just take it slow.
- Can I get you anything? - No, I'm fine.
Okay. Listen, I canceled my next run.
Dad,
you can't protect me every second of every day.
Well, that sucks.
I never want to feel the way I felt when I got that call
saying my baby girl was on the way to the hospital.
I got one other call like that in my life.
That's two too many.
How much allowance am I giving you, anyway?
Ellie gave me those albums.
I just can't bring myself to play them.
Hey, Luke.
Rachel.
You send me this?
Maybe.
What are you doing?
Nobody has all the answers,
but we all have our "why's."
Like, why did this happen?
Why didn't we see it coming?
Why do people watch American Idol?
Come on.
Welcome to detention.
Hi, boyfriend.
Do you really think a party is appropriate, Brooke?
It's not a party. It's more of a cleansing for every kid in this school.
You know, everybody's here, everybody's invited, everybody's together.
So just check it out, okay? We've got co-ed bathrooms,
science lab for drugs and pharmaceuticals,
Health class for condoms and people probably using them,
Spanish class has kick-ass margaritas,
and there's the tutor center.
Anybody who needs a little extra help.
Tonight, we're all together, and we stop judging each other
and let everybody heal their own way.
If you need to do this alone, I understand.
But if you need me, I'm here.
Hey.
You know, we should really stop meeting up like this.
I never did thank you.
Hey, it's okay.
God, I'm such a girl.
You love me.
Okay, that is so not fair.
You probably just want to kiss me again.
Dude, shut up!
Okay, I kissed you, but I...
I thought I was gonna die and you took care of me.
- So, you know, we... - Yeah.
I know.
If I told you I loved you, would you hold it against me?
Luke, when I said that...
Because I do, Peyton.
But it's okay, because
there's this other girl.
I mean, you might know her, her name's Brooke Davis
and I am completely in love with her.
You don't know how good it is to hear you say that.
'Cause I thought everything was gonna get weird again
and I really don't want it to.
We're okay, right? You and me, we're good?
All right.
I should go.
Peyton,
I'm sorry about your mom.
Both moms.
I don't feel like I've been there for you the way I should have,
and I'm just sorry for that.
You know how proud Keith must be of you, right now?
I don't know if that's true.
It is.
Let Brooke help you out with this, okay?
Don't shut her out.
Why, did she say something to you?
No, I just... I know how you are.
I'm the same way.
She gave you her heart, Luke. You should give yours back.
- I'll see you. - Okay.
Hey, don't kiss anybody out there.
You suck, you know that?
Hey, wanna come dance with me?
Everybody head to lockdown, I got a shooter here.
Shooters in the hallway. Come on, everybody.
Pull your head out of your ass and show some respect.
Lucas!
Please stay!
I can't, Brooke. It's not right!
Why not?
You wouldn't understand. You weren't there.
I may not have been inside that school,
but that doesn't mean that I wasn't there.
It doesn't mean that I don't carry that day around with me like everybody else.
I was there.
And if a party helps to bring us all together
and helps everyone to deal with it, then why not?
Rachel, you know that this is wrong.
Somebody died in that hallway.
No, Luke. Two people died.
I'm sorry, Brooke.
I know you're trying to help me with this, and I love you for it, but I...
I just... I can't, okay?
What's up, my brother?
Nothing.
So, listen, the guys talked and decided.
We're not gonna go to Jimmy's funeral tomorrow.
I mean, Mouth's kind of tore up about it,
but we all loved Keith. It just don't seem right.
You think there's a heaven, Skills?
Do I think there's a heaven?
Yeah, you know, like pearly gates
and angels?
I don't know about all that.
Maybe some chrome gates and some freaky angels.
No, but I do think there's something else out there.
And I do think that
whatever we do in this world matters in the next.
Yeah, before you came in, I was thinking about Edwards.
How he could take Keith's life.
Luke, he wasn't right, dawg.
Jimmy was sick.
So, if that's true,
is heaven the kind of place that'll hold that against someone?
You know, because if not,
Jimmy's a victim, too.
And right now,
in your world beyond this one, Jimmy and Keith are in the same place.
I can't figure out what kind of place that would be.
It's a place you and I wouldn't understand.
Or a place that doesn't exist.
God, I love this song.
You think that's okay?
To, like,
love a song and feel good when you hear it?
And, like, laugh and be happy?
To be so in love with somebody your heart aches?
I mean, is that okay right now or is it just
too soon?
It's never, never too soon to feel like that.
Danny...
Danny, I'm waiting.
Why'd you do this to me?
I saw the light.
I doubt it.
Truth be told, I couldn't sleep.
- Can I help you? - No, Dan.
You can't help me.
You were horrible to Keith.
Is it any wonder you can't sleep?
Doesn't mean I didn't love him.
Well, that's great, Dan.
But how does it feel to know you can never take any of it back?
That for the rest of your life, all you'll have is regret
over a relationship you could have repaired with a few kind words.
But you couldn't even find it in your heart to do it.
Maybe I'll find those words with Lucas.
Don't push me, Dan!
Come on, Karen. He's old enough to make his own decisions.
Like when he went back into that school.
Or when he pulled me out of the dealership fire.
Did you pull Dan out of the fire?
- Mom... - Did you?
Yes.
You selfish, stupid boy.
Did you think about me?
Just once, think about me,
and what my life would be like if I lost you?
Running into burning buildings, high schools with guns.
Did I raise an idiot?
I know! Okay, I know! It's my fault!
If I didn't go back in there, Keith would still be here.
And I know that.
And I'm sorry.
Well, sorry isn't gonna bring him back, is it?
You have to let it go, Mouth.
It's not your fault.
I wasn't thinking that.
Yes, you were.
You have this ridiculous notion
that because you were friends once, you could have saved him.
What's so ridiculous about that?
Because you couldn't have.
I was his best friend, Rachel.
How many times did the guy call you in the last year?
Come on, look around.
Everybody's here tonight.
Geeks, stoners, jocks,
maybe a few old friends who forgot to stay in touch.
That's how it's gonna change.
But everyone's still divided.
We stick to these rigid circles of friends based on
sports we play, or hobbies we like, or how attractive or unattractive we are.
When's that gonna change?
Honestly?
Probably never.
Look, it's human nature. People stick to their own kind.
But if you want it to change, then change it.
I'll help you.
How?
Dance with me.
Hey.
Here.
What is this?
It's my door key.
Actually, it's your door key.
- Brooke, it's your place. - No.
It's always been your place. Both of yours.
I was just keeping it warm until you came to your senses.
- Thank you, Brooke. - Thanks.
How's Lucas doing?
I don't know, he left.
I'm just trying to give him his space, but it's hard, you know?
- Yeah. - Anyway,
you kids be happy.
One of these days, you'll make the rest of us believe in true love.
I wanna go find Lucas.
Okay, let's go.
Okay.
Hey, hold on.
Why did you do that?
Because I don't think that you're gonna like me 10 seconds from now.
But...
I released the time capsule.
It's not your fault, Mouth.
It's mine.
You're right.
I don't like you.
Hey.
Here.
I'm taking my predictions back.
Not gonna come true now, anyway. Not without Keith.
Luke...
My mom
thinks that this was my fault.
She would not say that.
Yeah, well, she pretty much did.
We shouldn't have gone back into that school.
She's wrong.
Luke, Keith would've gone back into that school if you were in there or not,
because that is who he was.
This is not your fault.
Hey, she's right, Luke. You did what he did.
You went back in there to save a life.
Otherwise, we might've been at Peyton's funeral.
And I couldn't save Keith.
And neither could I.
He loved you a lot, Luke. Just like we do.
And so does Brooke.
You think none of your predictions are gonna come true?
Look at the first one on your list.
"This year, I'll try again with Brooke."
Brooke?
Brooke!
She's gone.
Coach, I can explain it all.
That wouldn't matter,
seeing as how I'm not here right now.
Not that I approve of any of this, but I guess
kids getting drunk in school beats
kids getting killed.
Been meaning to talk to you.
Truth of the matter is, I've been busy
crying like a baby.
They were gonna get married.
Keith was gonna be my dad.
He was your dad,
no matter what any science or paper said.
He was the man who influenced your life more than anybody else.
I saw it in you every day.
I just want him to come back.
I just want him to come home.
It's not fair.
I'm gonna tell you something.
When my wife
died,
things got
pretty dark there for a while.
Nobody could talk to me.
And then,
one of my former players,
kid may have been the worst player I ever coached,
waded into that darkness
and pulled me to safety.
That kid's name was
Keith Scott.
He said, "Coach,
"I know you want some answers.
"But what is the right answer?
"Because there is no answer.
"There's just life."
Just life.
Lucas,
be the man that Keith taught you to be.
Anything less will make this a much greater tragedy than it already is.
Dan.
Why'd you do this to me?
It's not gonna work, you know?
I'm not gonna carry this around with me.
I did what I did, and it's done!
Dan.
So you come around all you want, ghost. You won't scare me.
As a matter of fact,
tonight I'm gonna sleep like a baby, and you wanna know why?
Because you started this war.
I just finished it.
This is Karen's wedding dress material.
If only it were raining.
I can take care of that.
Come on.
Hey.
Do you know a Pete from Freak Out Boy?
Tattoos, goofy grin, about as tall as a fire hydrant?
Fall Out Boy.
Yeah, whatever.
I can't believe I'm about to say this to my high-school-age daughter,
but he is waiting in that limo.
Don't be long.
Okay.
I want you to know something.
If anything ever happens to me,
- if you ever lose me... - Nathan.
I want you to know how happy you made me.
How wonderful my life was with you.
And I will always be with you.
Nothing's gonna happen to you.
I know.
I know, you're right. But if it does,
I just want you to be okay, Haley.
And know that you made me happy.
You wanted rain.
It is not possible to be this in love.
Hey, pretty girl.
Hey.
I was gonna sleep in my car,
but I heard a noise and I think it was a bear or something.
Well, where were you parked?
Right outside here.
Well, have I told you how much I love you today?
Not really.
Well, I do.
And even when I don't tell you, it means a lot to me to know you're there.
It means everything.
I am here.
We both are.
I know.
And it's good being here.
Especially with you.
I wish that it was me.
I know that's horrible and I know that's selfish,
but I watched you rescue Peyton,
and you told me you rescued Dan,
and sometimes I just wish you could rescue me.
From what?
From all of it.
Okay, then.
I will.
If you promise to rescue me back...
I promise.
There's something else I need to do.
- Hey, buddy. - Hey.
How's the leg?
Oh, it'll be okay. How's the boy?
It'll be okay.
- Oh! - I'm sorry, Peyton.
Why?
Because I shouldn't have left you there.
I thought that you were behind me...
- Brooke, don't... - No.
I should've made sure.
Okay. You're my best friend,
and you wanna know what made me feel better when I was trapped in that library?
It was knowing that Brooke's okay. You know, my best friend, she's safe.
I love you for that, P. Sawyer.
But there was something else that made you feel better in that library.
My boyfriend.
And I guess I can't hold it against him, can I? I mean,
the boy I love protected the girl I love.
That's the girl that he loves, too.
- Brooke... - No, we both know it's true.
Okay.
Look, come here, no... Come here.
All right. I want you to listen to me.
I care about Lucas,
and I always will,
but he's insanely in love with you.
You know what? So am I.
You're my Brooke!
I'm not gonna hurt you again.
Okay, 'cause I really don't want to hurt again.
Come here.
You're something, you know that?
I get shot and you're the one that needs consoling.
Sorry.
You want a lift?
Yes, I do!
- Okay. - Hold on.
Okay, hold on.
Please don't fall!
No, I got you. I got you.
- Am I that heavy? - No, I got you.
Okay.
Oh, boy.
Dad.
What did you do?
I know, your room's like some holy land, forbidden to fathers,
but I thought I'd make you some shelves.
You know, sweetie,
people will things that have
given them great happiness in their life.
Things that have helped them make sense of the world.
I'm sure that Ellie hoped that
when you played these albums, that you would remember her.
And she would be with you in the music.
Thank you.
But where's my bed?
I don't think you have room for a queen-sized bed.
I'm bringing two singles in here.
Now that Brooke's moving in.
What? Really?
Best friends should stick together. Welcome home.
This is gonna be amazing! I have to teach you the scrunchie system...
No, no, no, no. No nudity in our room, okay?
But speaking of boys...
Tonight, after the party,
I hooked up with Pete from Fall Out Boy. We made out!
Oh, Peyton, we're gonna find you a boyfriend, honey,
you don't have to lie about it.
- No, I... - Now, how do you feel about a round bed?
Whatever you say, roommate.
Hey, Mom, you okay?
What are you doing?
It's what Keith would've wanted.
Absolutely not. You go to your room and you change.
No.
I said, go change.
It's what Keith would want.
