[to Julian] When Jamie was 5, I think, Nathan and I were in the kitchen at night, arguing. I remember looking out the window and I saw him playing basketball by the pool. Somewhere between all the yelling and the next time I looked out, he had disappeared and uh, I went outside and he was floating face down in the pool. And we didn’t know how long he had been out there. Nathan pulled him in, and eventually he coughed and he cried, but he was okay. And I felt like I had damaged him. I felt like the worst parent in the world and it took me a really long time to forgive myself for that. But, I did eventually. And you will too, because your babies aren’t going anywhere. Your job doesn’t end. And the best part, we, as parents can do is just love them with all of our hearts. And try and do better next time.
S9 E4Don't You Want to Share the Guilt
I can only get the heat in here to eighty-five degrees. It was at least a hundred and one when I left Davis. I can’t forgive myself for this, I can’t forgive myself for being so careless. I almost took away the one thing that matters most to us. You wanted a baby more than anything. You waited and you prayed, and you had a miracle happen. Your dream came true and then in one moment, in one horrible stupid moment, I almost took that away from you.
But you didn’t. Stop. You didn’t.
Relax. That's not a threat, it's a promise. If I catch you near my family again, I'll kill you.
How many times do I have to do this before you stop being a jackass?
What the hell are you doing?
Do you realize you put my family in danger? Jamie and Lydia play in that park. The one where you buy your drugs. My son is your partner, and you're a junkie!
I'm not doing drugs!
No? Then why are you buying them?
I don't remember!
Don't remember or too stoned to?
I don't remember. I don't remember, I lied.
Lied? Why?
Because I didn't want to scare Quinn. Alright, I don't remember how I got there. I can't remember how I got home. I can't remember anything.
[They both look at Quinn]
Well fix it, before someone gets hurt!
S9 E5The Killing Moon
Oh okay so hey now we're going to make generalizations. So you're the jackass in high school who now gets to harass people and carry a gun.
So how's that boyfriend of yours?
You know you didn't need to try to drown Clay.
Worked last time. Where is he?
He's getting help.
Sounds like it worked again. So how you doing?
Well I don't need my head drowned in the pool, if that's what you're asking. I'll be fine when I know Clay's fine.
So you still believe in him?
Yeah.
Then you'll both be okay.
S9 E6Catastrophe & The Cure
[to the police] You’re right. I lit the dealership on fire, almost burning myself to death in the process, just so I’d have an excuse to murder my own brother. Then 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 new found fortune, and move to a remote diner just 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.
Julian Baker?
You're looking at him.
I'll take your word for it. What happened to your face? Wife beat you up? Brooke's a feisty one, huh?
Dan Scott. What do you want?
Right to the point, good. I need a work space. I'll give you three 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 two grand a month. I'll need a trailer and complete privacy.
To do what?
Lets make it three grand a month and you don't ask that question again. It's nothing illegal. Deal?
I'll show you the trailers.
Need any thing?
Yeah, the complete privacy I paid for. Another notepad.
What is that?
A List of my enemies. Better make that two notepads.
Let me ask you a question. If I let you help me, who are you going to be looking for? Nathan or yourself?
Both.
You think you've 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 going to be a good father. Go on. Go inside and kiss your wife. Do something I can't, hug your sons. Cause trust me I would do anything to be able to do that again. Go on.
We'll find him.
S9 E7Last Known Surroundings
You think I'm afraid? I'm not afraid of you. You can take my world, you can take my life, but you won't get my fear. I'm not afraid of you and I'm not going to be.
I just got in the car one day and started driving. Stayed in cheap hotels, ate fast food. Nobody saw me or looked me in the eye. That's how I wanted it to be. I drove uh, I drove as far as I could and I decided that uh, when I ran out of road uh I would check into a hotel somewhere and I'd kill myself. That's when I saw her. At the end of the road. She was standing on the balcony of a stupidly large beach house. So I rented it and stayed up that night talking to her like we used to. And she told me to stop feeling sorry for myself and to get back to work. So I did. And then I found Nate.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you for letting me, thank you for calling me, for letting me help you for once. Thank you for being you Hales. I could never thank you enough for that.
I miss you Lucas.
I love you.
Yeah, that too.
S9 E8A Rush of Blood to the Head
[to X] I'm telling you right now, prison will be the least of your worries if you come near my family again.
