Pretty Little Liars s02e02 Episode Script

NARRATOR: Previously on Pretty Little Liars: Aah! If you love my sister, you won't do this.
[GRUNTS THEN YELLS.]
[BELL TOLLS.]
POLICEMAN: Is this a joke? - What do you mean? - Nobody in there.
If we want Anne to believe us SPENCER: A picture's worth a thousand words.
REALTOR: Oh, I see you found the guest bedroom.
Would you like to take a look at the master? - Got off the phone with your therapist.
ELLA: She is recommending you spend some time apart.
Are you telling me I can't see my friends? - Are you? - Samara.
I go to Sheraton Prep.
Your friend tell you? Yeah, sorry.
They extended your dad's assignment.
He wants us to come to Texas.
- You mean for a visit? - For a year.
Make sure she gets this.
HANNA: I know about the letter.
You had no right to make that decision for me.
You know what, I barely remember Jason.
We didn't know him.
He was just Ali's older brother down the hall.
- Anyone could have sent that.
HANNA: It could be some kook trying to mess with Melissa.
SPENCER: "It's not safe, I can't tell you"? - Can't tell you what? - Where he is.
- Ian's dead.
- Only one way to know for sure.
SPENCER: "How do I know this is you?" [CELL PHONE BEEPS THEN BOTH GASP.]
- It's him.
- Ian's alive.
[THUD.]
Did things just get incredibly worse? I can't believe this.
Ian's dead.
No, zombies don't text.
Okay, he is alive somewhere.
Spence.
I have to get this phone home before Melissa realizes that it's gone.
Put it back, then what do we do? Do we call the cops? Oh, yeah, that always works out so well for us.
- Why is Ian texting Melissa? - And why is Melissa answering him? EMILY: Is she? I mean, we don't know how long this has been going on.
Spencer, you gotta find out what Ian told Melissa.
You're the only one who can find out what he wants.
And where he is.
[PINECONES CLACKING.]
Let's get out of here.
HANNA: Let's finish this in the morning.
I'm cold, damp and scared.
We can talk at school.
ARIA: We can't talk at school.
The four of us are supposed to be having separate time.
- Doctor's orders.
- So, what, not talk to each other? - We're in the same classes.
- Just play it cool.
[RUSTLING.]
It's Jason.
Did he move back in? SPENCER: What is all that? ARIA: That's that stuff people left on my curb when Ali went missing, those tributes.
Maya said her family kept those things when they moved in.
They didn't have the heart to throw them out.
SPENCER: Apparently, Jason's moved on.
What's he doing back in that house? Shh.
Mom, you don't believe in this therapy stuff so why do I have to put up with it? Because most of life consists of putting up with something.
Wow, what a positive outlook.
That's gonna have a terrific impact on my development.
Could we not talk until we've had coffee? And why turn on the Hanna-in-trouble bat-signal and call Dad? I didn't.
When daughters show up in news stories about a corpse, fathers check in.
- He can check, but why come here? - He's worried.
He is.
I heard it when he called.
Well, last time he came, he sprang a fiancée and a step-daughter on us.
Wonder what we get this trip.
He sent that plant when you were in the hospital.
It died, remember? We still have the pot.
[CHUCKLES.]
You can't take away my phone.
I'm not taking it away.
Use it all you want.
When you get home from school, leave it on the dining room table.
Wanna call someone, call from downstairs.
So you'll know if I try to talk to Aria, Spencer and Hanna? You know, look at it like it's a project.
You get to experience life the way it was before anything other than landlines.
We gonna start milking our own cows and using kerosene lamps? Look, Emily, I know this is hard, but it's not-- It's not mean.
I think this is a good idea.
You better start thinking about packing.
So real estate people won't know there's anyone here - when they tramp through our house? - Actually, no more tramping.
We have a family who wants to lease the place for a year.
What do you mean, gone? I mean gone, blank, zeroed out.
Somebody got in here and erased the whole drive.
- Who? EMILY [OVER PHONE.]
: The agent's been bringing people in here.
The laptop's been sitting on my desk.
Are you saying that A just walked in and wiped your drive? What am I talking about? - Of course they did.
- It's gone, Spence.
All the videos of Ian are gone.
Yeah, except for the one Ian had when he fell.
[DOOR OPENS.]
We're gonna talk at school.
- How? - We'll figure it out.
Hey, you got out early this morning.
Where'd you go? Oh, wow.
- Is everything okay? - So far.
They want me to rest as much as I can.
You didn't have to go alone.
I would have gone with you.
Next time.
Um, any more appointments today? No, I'm staying home.
Are you gonna be back before Mom and Dad leave? Mm-hm.
That's the plan.
You know, I could stay home if you wanted me to.
Answer your phone, take messages.
No.
Um, I want my phone.
- In case the police call about lan.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
[BELL RINGS.]
Aria, can I see you for a second? So your last day is Friday.
Day after tomorrow.
- Thanks for the warning.
- It's not a warning.
All of a sudden, you're picking apart everything I say with a pair of tweezers.
No, I just wanna make sure that I'm not misunderstanding anything.
- Such as? - Such as What I can really expect once you pack up that desk.
I think I've been very clear about that.
Yeah, I know that's what you think.
I'm just not so sure.
GIRL: We're gonna be late.
Ha, ha.
Well, we're not gonna figure this out before the next bell.
You need to come by the apartment so we can talk.
- I can't tonight.
- Tomorrow.
[SIGHS.]
Okay.
Hey, Big A, wait up.
So that was a bombshell, wasn't it? - You see it coming, about him leaving? - No.
Listen, if I bend some arms, we could get him a gift.
- And I thought you could pick it out.
- Why me? Well, you know him better.
- From the play.
- Right.
Uh, sure, I'll pick something up.
Primo, I'll shake people down.
I love doing that.
Um, there is this one other thing I wanted to talk to you about.
Anything between you and Hanna, you have to work out on your own.
- Can't you just say something to her? - Mona.
Hanna and I aren't really hanging out right now.
Why? Did something happen? Did something happen? Don't you read the papers - or listen to the news? - No.
Ali's killer? Oh, right.
You lying to the cops.
Oh, we didn't lie to the cops.
People think that we did, but we didn't.
So now our parents are thinking that we just shouldn't hang out as much.
Oh, that's so unfair.
So I'll get the gift for Mr.
Fitz, but I can't help you with Hanna.
That's okay.
I'll come up with something.
ARIA: So the videos are gone? - Totally gone.
- That was our only evidence.
- Well, we don't have it anymore.
- Has Ian sent Melissa more messages? - I don't know.
She's not leaving her phone just sitting around.
What about Jason? Why is he back? What is he doing in that house? Maybe he's just looking for closure or something.
Okay, new rule.
No one can say the word "closure.
" - Ever.
- Dr.
Sullivan says it all the time.
I rest my case.
- Han.
- What? - I don't think we should sit together.
- We always sit together.
We have to make it look like we're going along with this.
Looking like we're doing it is the same thing as doing it.
It means we're wrong.
We're not wrong, we're right.
Are we? We don't even really know what happened.
How can we be sure if we're even right? That's even more reason to stick together.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
[CELL PHONES BEEP.]
You're here.
Had to get some papers from the office.
- You're coming back to school? - I haven't changed my mind.
This is about getting a GED on my own.
Look, I'm the one who looks guilty, not you.
You know, you can come back if you want to.
The thing is, I don't want to.
You're the one looking forward to class reunions, not me.
- Besides, I got a job.
- Hmm? Check it out.
They needed somebody.
I'll be learning from the best.
Sweeney put up half the houses in this town.
How are your parents about this? My family is the reason why I'm doing it.
The sooner I've got some money, the sooner I'm out of there.
For good.
Uh-huh.
Out of Rosewood? Well, that depends.
- On what? - Different things.
Well, name three.
I can only think of one right now.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
[STUDENTS CHATTERING.]
Wow.
You were at one with the water.
That was amazing.
- I did okay.
- Okay enough to win.
- Yeah, but I was off my personal time.
- Wanna grab something to eat? Ahh.
I would, but I promised my mom I'd help her pack.
- Okay, how about tomorrow night? - Tomorrow? Yeah, something to eat, maybe see a movie? What, you don't like movies? No, I even like the black and white ones, but I'm moving, Samara.
I don't wanna start anything that I can't finish.
Okay, well, um, it is just a movie.
So if you don't want a big commitment, we won't get the large popcorn.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
- Or am I misreading things? - No, you're not.
Let's do tomorrow.
Excuse me, Emily.
- Yes? RABIN: Hi.
Coach Fulton said I could say hello.
My name's Ken Rabin, I'm from Danby.
- Danby U? RABIN: Yeah.
We check in with talent getting ready for college and make sure they're thinking about us.
I don't know a swimmer who isn't thinking about Danby.
Good.
Well, I'd like to talk to you about our program, so call me.
- Maybe we can sit down tomorrow.
- Okay.
Great.
Looking forward to it.
Somebody just got scouted.
No, he just wants to talk.
Yeah, first a little talk and then a scholarship.
[NEWSPAPER RUSTLING.]
You okay? I shouldn't read that.
They don't know anything, but they keep writing.
You wanna split one of these? Yes, I do.
[SIGHS.]
Who are these for? What makes you think they're for anybody? You're moving them to a plate so you can pass them off as homemade.
Don't worry.
I know how to keep a secret.
Uh, they're for Jason DiLaurentis.
- Why? - Well, he's back, you know.
He's just down the lane.
I thought I'd be neighborly.
They were friends, weren't they? Jason and lan? Jason wasn't somebody you could depend on.
Did Ian say that? I'm just making conversation.
Then ask me about the weather.
Or the deficit or gas prices.
You wanna help? Then don't ask me about lan.
- Do you, uh, like this therapist? - Would it make any difference if I didn't? What do you think? I've only talked to her on the phone.
Spencer's mother put the whole thing together.
And you're okay with that? I don't think it's doing any harm.
And right now I don't have a plan B.
Okay.
Well, I have a plan B, we tell everyone to mind their own business.
Let's just play this out and see what happens.
These are my friends.
Okay? The most important people in my life, and they're trying to break us apart.
- Tell him.
TOM: Don't put your mother on the spot like that.
Hanna, this is not a good cop/bad cop situation.
We'll take it a step at a time.
And if we have to make adjustments, then we can do that.
You want us to e-mail you about that? How about we do it face-to-face? I thought I'd stay around for a couple of days.
- Can I go now? - Yes.
It's good to see you again, Hanna.
[HANNA STOMPING.]
[SCOFFS.]
Well, that sound brings back memories.
Were you planning to stay in town before she said that? Yes.
Yes, I was.
Is that gonna cause any problems for you with other people? Nothing I can't handle.
Well thanks for backing me up.
I'm gonna take my lead from you on this one.
I came here to help.
You want a glass of wine? Unless you want me to make you a martini? I think wine tonight.
Hey, have you been into your dad's side of the garage lately? The lockers? No.
Because one of them was open, and we're missing some winter gear.
- The camp stove.
- No, I haven't been in there.
Jean Watson said they had stuff missing out of their garage as well.
Somebody broke into our garage? They get into the house? Anything else missing? You know what, don't worry.
I'll call the police.
And did you forget something after school? Thank you.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
[DOG WHINING.]
SPENCER: Hey.
What you doing, buddy? Get out of here! [DOG WHIMPERING.]
[JASON SIGHS.]
- Hello, Spencer.
- Hi.
Sorry, I saw you were back.
I thought I'd try to beat the welcome wagon.
Uh, thanks.
That's great.
Ahem.
- Are your parents coming back? - No.
I mean, it's just gonna be me for the time being.
I heard what happened.
- Are you okay? - I'm working on it.
- So you know what's been going on? - Just what I get from the news.
The cops in this town don't really talk to me.
I'm the brother of a murder victim.
But mostly they see me as a big pain in the ass.
I ask too many questions.
Is that why you're back? The questions? - Maybe I can help.
- Okay.
- The bell tower.
- What about it? I heard that you told the police that Ian confessed to killing Ali.
Is that what happened? [SIGHS.]
That's being referred to as my version of events.
The police think Ian ran away, but not because of your sister.
Did he confess? Yeah, I think he did.
You think he did? Well, he wanted people to believe that I killed her.
And how did you do it, according to lan? I pushed her.
She fell.
And it was an accident.
Jason, I'm sorry.
- I know you and Ian were once close-- - Did he say he killed her? - That's what he meant.
- That's what you think.
- Did Ian say, "I killed Alison"? - Not those words.
- Not those words? - No.
It's getting late and I've got a lot to do inside.
Can I help? You already have.
Good night.
Good night.
JASON: Alison.
Alison, hey.
Damn it, Alison, come here.
Come here.
Hey, stop messing with my stuff, all right? You and the Powerpuff Girls stay out of my room.
What are you afraid I'd find in there? Look, stop messing with people.
No challenge with you and your stoner buddies.
All you need is something shiny on a piece of string.
[ALL CHUCKLE.]
Watch him, ladies.
He's got trouble with door knobs.
What's wrong with Jason? Heh.
He just thinks I stole one of his Japanese cartoon porn books.
- Did you? - Of course I did.
Aren't you afraid he's gonna rip apart your room? Wouldn't do him any good.
I have hiding places all over the house.
In the yard too.
When I hide something, it stays hid.
Until I want it found.
That's why your secrets are all so safe with me.
[GLASS SHATTERING.]
RABIN: Emily, you're the kind of student Danby would love to have.
You also fit the profile for scholarship help.
- So you think I could get a scholarship? - I think you're in good shape.
But your coach said you were leaving.
That worries me.
I mean, Rosewood's rated so high anywhere else you go is gonna be a step down.
That could be a problem.
You know when you're moving? - That's not definite.
- The coach said that-- There was talk, but I'm gonna finish school here.
Glad to hear it.
Continuity's important for you right now.
I know.
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE.]
- Toby? - Mr.
Sweeney let me go.
It was your first day.
The owner saw me and told Mr.
Sweeney they'd cancel the job if he didn't get rid of me.
- Why? - They've got a daughter.
They didn't want me in the house, so Mr.
Sweeney paid me for the week.
- He cannot do that.
- Forget it, Spencer.
It's just how this town works.
- Get in.
- Tell you what, let's Let's talk later.
This was your idea.
I know, and I promise I will be there but this is the head of the department.
But you knew you had to talk to him when you asked me.
Yes, but I didn't know the man only spoke in paragraphs.
Look, I will get out of here, I will be there, we will talk.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
- Please, sir.
EZRA: One second, sorry.
Wait for me, please.
- Aria? ARIA [OVER PHONE.]
: Okay.
- I'll wait.
- Be there soon.
Mr.
Rabin said I was the kind of student they want.
I mean, he just about promised me a full scholarship.
But he couldn't do it if I moved.
If I ended up at another school in a different program.
If I stay here and graduate from Rosewood I could have everything I want at Danby.
But if we move, it's all gonna fall apart.
This is a lot to think about, Emily.
But you are thinking about it? Well, we gotta talk to your dad, but I think he'd agree.
This would be a reason to stay.
But this family's not doing anything based on one conversation with one scout, okay? We can't just do this on promises.
We need some commitment from the university.
No problem.
I'll talk to Mr.
Rabin.
- How did it go with Ezra? ARIA [OVER PHONE.]
: Oh, he's not here yet.
He's at Hollis, stuck in a meeting.
- How long have you been waiting? - Over an hour.
[SIGHS.]
That's why I was calling, Spence.
How long should I wait? Why are you asking me? Because you've got this great internal clock.
Like, you always know exactly how long to wait for a boy to call you when to ask your parents for something how quickly you should make up with somebody.
You are the master of time.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
- Um, can I call you back later? - Sure.
Sorry, bye.
[SIGHS.]
Hey.
Can you get out? Um, yeah.
Let me just get my coat.
[SIGHS.]
[CELL PHONE BEEPS.]
[BEEPS.]
MONA [ON MACHINE.]
: Hey, Hanna, Mona.
I've been trying your phone a lot.
Call me.
Please, I miss you.
Bye.
- Something wrong with your phone? - No.
- You want some help with that? - Nope.
Look, I know it's tough not seeing your friends.
But it's a good idea, under the circumstances.
Do you notice how I never see you except when I'm in trouble? Do you think that's significant? I mean, should I bring it up in therapy? I'm sorry it seems that way.
No, don't apologize, because it doesn't mean anything.
So don't.
It does mean something.
Maybe to you, but not to me.
Why not? When you and Mom broke up you told me that even though you were getting a divorce it didn't mean I wasn't always going to be your daughter.
And now, heh I mean, you're getting a whole new family.
You lied to me, so I don't trust you.
Nobody ever made a mistake on purpose, Hanna.
You always think you're doing what's best.
At least that's what you tell yourself after the fact.
The thing I can't explain, the thing I can't forgive is talking myself into leaving you behind.
Amazing how much damage can be done when you have nothing but good intentions.
EMILY: All I need is a letter.
Something in writing, and I won't have to move.
I can finish at Rosewood.
And you can get that from the scout? - Absolutely.
- That's great.
It's beyond great.
I feel like I can breathe again.
- Ahem.
- What is it? You went somewhere just now.
What was it? - Nothing, I'm fine.
- Did you come here with someone? Maya.
- Do you wanna go someplace else? - No, no.
I'm fine, really.
- If you're okay.
- I don't know.
Ghosts of first girlfriends make tough competition.
[CHUCKLES.]
What sort of competition would I be looking at? - Ha, ha.
- I mean, for the sake of argument.
- Well, I don't kiss and tell.
EMILY: Ah.
But I had a Maya.
Everybody has a Maya.
If they're lucky.
Who was she? Her name was Marianne Ginari.
Sophomore English.
One row over, two seats down.
She always wore her hair up and I kept looking at the back of her neck.
What happened? We had a study date one night, and she let her hair down.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ON SCREEN.]
- Hi.
- Hi.
Are you alone, or is Noel Kahn lurking around here somewhere? All by my lonesome.
So are you going out with Noel, or was that just a one-off? Heh.
Well, he's a major get.
Now he even has some bad-boy cred.
Well, you know, there's bad, and then there's bad.
I would just be careful around him.
So you want me to be careful? Like it would make a difference to you? Look, I guess I understand why you did what you did.
You must have thought you were doing me a favor.
Really, truly I did.
Could we just forget about it? Okay.
So does this mean that you, like, forgive me? Yeah, I forgive you.
Wow.
No one's ever forgiven me before.
It feels all, I don't know, spiritual or something, ha, ha.
Sit with me? So have you, like, talked to Caleb? Okay, you don't ask me about Caleb and I won't ask you about Noel.
Okay.
- Why didn't you tell me? - I'm telling you now.
You should have the minute you found out.
Why? What could you have done? - I'd have done something.
- What? - I don't know.
- Ah.
Well, welcome to my world.
It's not so bad from up here.
Just looks like a town.
SPENCER: That's all it is.
More than that.
It's like one of those collective mind creatures in the movies.
One with a really long memory.
It's not a monster.
It's got monsters in it.
You know that.
So do I.
I'll do what you want me to.
Want me to tell the police that Ian's been texting Melissa? Remind me.
When was the last time the cops did either of us any good? [SPENCER SIGHS.]
- So? - So [TOBY SIGHS.]
ARIA: Spence? Spence! Spencer, are you here? Spencer? [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
[SCREAMS THEN GRUNTS.]
I've called the police.
Everything looks all right upstairs.
- Are you sure you're okay? - Yeah.
Dignity broke the fall.
Aria.
Hey.
Look, are you sure that you're okay? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
The fact that A can just break into our houses Sometimes I think that's the worst part of this.
Emily said that somebody broke into their garage.
And stole some camping gear.
Her mom said there's been break-ins around town.
- What would A want with camping gear? - Uh You tell me.
- What if it's not A? - Who else would it be? Somebody who knew what was on Emily's computer.
Somebody who needs camping gear and survival stuff, somebody on the run.
Ian? We though A wiped Emily's hard drive.
That's the kind of thing A would do.
But Ian is the only other person who'd want those videos destroyed.
- Do you think that that was Ian upstairs? - I don't know.
Melissa's out in the barn.
What would he want in the house? You? [KETTLE SHRIEKING.]
[THUNDER CRASHING.]
RABIN: That's great.
My mom's really excited.
- She just wants a letter to show my dad.
- A letter.
You know, explaining the whole offer.
I'd be happy to talk.
We were discussing what could happen.
I can't offer anything in writing.
You said if I kept up my grades and times and graduated Rosewood - I could get a scholarship.
- You're a strong contender.
I need more than that for my parents.
I need some sort of commitment.
I can write something saying we're interested in you, but I can't make promises.
- So all I can get is a maybe letter? - That's what I can do now.
Okay, thank you.
We'll talk soon.
Oh.
Thank you.
Wasn't expecting this.
To be honest, most of what's happened to me here, I didn't expect.
I didn't expect to connect with you the way that I have.
I never expected to feel this kind of loss over leaving you, um Stop me when this gets too maudlin, but I'm not going to forget you.
I will remember your voices, your questions, your faces.
Um I cherish the time that I've spent here.
And I'm more grateful than I even know how to say.
There's a quote by Joseph Campbell, and it goes: "You must give up the life you had planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you.
" I thought I knew what that meant.
I didn't.
Till I met you.
[BELL RINGS.]
Well, there it is.
Oh, oh, always read.
Have a good life.
BOY 1: We love you, Mr.
Fitz.
EZRA: Ha, ha.
- Good luck.
- Thanks, Mr.
Fitz.
GIRL: See you, Mr.
Fitz.
- Doris.
BOY 2: Thanks, Mr.
Fitz.
ARIA: Ezra.
[DOOR OPENS.]
- Hey, sorry I'm late.
- Didn't notice.
- You want something to eat? - I'm okay.
- Did you get outside today? - Not in this weather.
I never left the house.
It was in the pocket of her raincoat.
Her raincoat was wet, so were her boots.
- She lied about being out? - She didn't go far.
Checked the driveway, it was dry under her car, so it hadn't been moved.
- Who would she wanna show this to? - I can only think of one person - who would care.
- Ian.
If she didn't take the car, that means he must be close.
Hanna's right, this is the worst time to be splitting up.
- We have got to stay together.
- No matter how much lying it takes.
What is that? Jason? JASON: Oh.
- It's you.
- Yeah, it's only us.
Um, what are you doing? I've been replanting all day and I'm putting up a fence.
A fence, why? For what? Privacy, security.
There's a lot of curious creeps, and people are gonna mind their own business.
You girls better go home.
Who's he trying to keep out with that fence? Keep out? Or keep in? [PERSON WHISTLING.]
