People say hell is endless. They say it’s our worst nightmare, the face of our darkness. But whatever it is, however it is, I say hell is empty, and all the devils are here.
S9 E1Know This, We've Noticed
[voiceover] They like it when I drive. So I drive. It's funny. I grew up in Tree Hill. I’ve spent most of my life here, but it wasn’t until my sons were born and couldn’t sleep, that I really got to know this place. That used to be view of Tree Hill at 2am. Well, my partial view. Now this is my view. We drive the same streets I drove in High School and listen to the same music...at least, when we can agree. Sometimes we try the '80s, sometimes classic rock. 2:00 a.M., 3:00 a.M., 4:00. We drive and we think …and we fuss a bit. Sometimes we eat. Well, I eat. I guess some people might let it wear on them, the lack of sleep. But I don't mind it, really I like Tree Hill like this. I like my car like this. Warm... Safe... Loved. It's what I wished for. Mostly. [...] Sometimes my heart aches at how my life turned out, in a good way. It doesn’t mean there haven’t been hardships, there have been. But I’m here, and here is good.
[to Haley] Do you know what it’s like to have a beautiful granddaughter and have no expectations of holding her? Or to accept that you’ll never be a part of your son’s family? Either son. I know what I’ve done. I know what I’ve created. I just need a little help.
I sleep better knowing that your side of the bed is closer to the door, because if somebody breaks in then, they are probably going to break in and get you first and I can run, OK?
You say the sweetest things to me Haley James.
I just miss you, I want you to come home. I feel spoiled when you are here.
Well, prepare to be spoiled because I'm going to be home tomorrow night or the next day depending on these flights.
Really? That just made my heart race.
Mine too. Now you take that feeling and you go back to bed OK? I'll be home before you know it.
OK, I can't wait. I love you Nathan.
I love you too, sweet dreams.
S9 E2In The Room Where You Sleep
Are the boys okay?
Of course they're okay. I've done this before ya know?
Barely.
Dan, not a day goes by that I don’t miss Keith. Or hate you for what you did to him. And to Nathan and to our entire family. I have no sympathy for you. But if there is such a thing as rehabilitation or forgiveness, then I believe a person should have the opportunity to prove that they’ve changed. That’s why you’re here.
Are you really so threatened that my well being means nothing to you?
You sound upset
I am upset!
Well good that makes two of us.
What do you have to be upset about?
Well, I’m not getting any younger, I’m not having any sex, and my conniving ex-husband comes into town to steal my daughter and my daughter’s fashion line from me.
First of all, ewww. Second of all, Daddy didn’t steal anything. You said no mom.
I said not yet and really, daddy when has he ever been a father to you.
People change mother
Not him. Why do you need his approval or his affection anyway?
Because he’s my father!
and a poor excuse for one at that. And you completely disregard my feelings in some desperate attempt to get him to love you... More... get him to love you more.
Okay, Do you understand how ridiculous this is? I have to make clothes to get my parents attention.
Brooke
That unless I spin the straw into gold or attract investors you two chime in on the holidays at best? Yet I still do it, why? Because I have some insane notion that someday the clothes are going to bring us closer. And that maybe...just maybe mom, my parent's will actually want to spend time with me.
You’re right, you’re Right! You should be able to do whatever you like with your father and I should be able to wish you the best
Mum, Mum!
Grandpa Dan, I was worried. I thought maybe you were leaving too.
Don't worry Jamie. I'm not going anywhere.
S9 E3Love The Way You Lie
Hi mom!
Hi honey!
Grandpa Dan!!! What are you doing here?
Just helping your mom out…you wanna join?
CCustomer
Excuse me is that Dan Scott
Yeah
CCustomer
How could you allow that man to work for you to be around your children?
Excuse me?
CCustomer
He’s a murderer!
I really don’t think that’s any of your business
ACAnother Customer
Oh yes it is! Especially if he’s cooking our food
Haley it's ok…I’ll leave…I’ll see you back at the house
No…you should stay. If anyone here has a problem with this man cooking your food you’re welcome to go someplace else.
CCustomer
Well we will
Alright then your food is on the house today…Now get out!
Haley I just wanna say thanks
Yeah well she was wrong you know you shouldn’t have had to deal with that
I did the crime
Doesn’t mean you have to get hammered for it all the time
Thanks again Dan I really don’t think I could have made it through today without you
I’m sure you would have found a way…Besides I enjoyed it…If you want me to come in tomorrow it’s really no trouble
No I don’t think that’s such a good idea…Dan it’s not because of that lady or any of the other customers it’s just…This is Karen’s Café.
Hey you didn’t want to go to the box factory?
Nah we were there last week. You know dad and Clay had a hard time with their agency at first
Yeah I’m starting to think this is just one big bad idea
Come on your like the farmer guy in the middle of nowhere who decided to build a baseball field in his back yard everyone told him he was crazy but you know what he built it anyway all because he heard a voice that said “If you build it he will come”…and you know what? He came! In fact lots of people came.
That’s a pretty good story Jamie. Guess I just need to have a little faith huh?
Well the thing is that’s actually a movie…you should probably know that if you wanna make it in show business.
[Julian laughs]
S9 E4Don't You Want to Share the Guilt
I like camping in the backyard. Do you think dad will stay out here with me?
I think that's a pretty safe bet.
Did you guys ever go camping?
Nah. We never got the chance.
Then when he gets home the three of us can!
You miss him, huh?
Yeah, he'll be home soon though.
Yeah.
[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.
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.
