Pretty Little Liars s02e22 Episode Script

NARRATOR: Previously on Pretty Little Liars: Why would I give this to Hanna? If this came out I could lose my job.
I just can't picture Alison ever wearing this.
SPENCER: Well, picture Vivian Darkbloom.
Vivian told you about Alison? She had a friend named Alison who was getting texts from somebody.
If this Jonah had real information, Ali might have known who A was.
There was something else in that box: Where would Ali have gotten that money? Ezra's leaving.
He's taking that job in New Orleans.
- What job? ARIA: The job that Dad set him up with.
- What does DiLaurentis have on us? - It's complicated.
My dad, is he your father too? - Melissa doesn't know either.
- Don't protect her.
She lied to us.
- Caleb sent me an email.
WOMAN: She's coming upstairs.
Are we about to see Alison get killed? [ALL GASP.]
Where is she? - Emily Fields? EMILY: Yes? - We need to talk to you.
- About what? Maya St.
Germain.
So, what'd they say? Not a lot.
The police said that Maya's parents found a note.
And it looked like she'd packed a bag.
Do they know where she went? They were asking the questions, not me.
That's not fair.
I mean, you're her girlfriend.
Maybe.
She hasn't returned any of my texts.
Anyways, Hanna, I'm really tired.
- Did you tell them that? - That I'm tired? No, about the texts.
Emily, every detail counts.
I told them that we got into a fight.
And that Maya threatened to run away before she'd ever go back to boot camp.
And that's what she did.
She'll call, Em.
Okay? MELISSA: It wasn't like I went running to the cops.
You lied to me and then you got in a car with Garrett Reynolds.
I saw you.
I didn't want you to worry.
If you knew I was talking to the police-- Why him? Garrett was Ian's friend.
And he's been really kind to me since the funeral.
He checks in on me, he takes me to the doctor when he can.
And I needed someone to talk to.
- About what? - About Ian.
I still don't believe that I married the guy who was capable of killing Alison.
The night of the funeral, I wanted to talk to you about this.
I've been holding onto this feeling that something was wrong ever since then.
So you went to Garrett about it last night.
I did, but I think it was a mistake.
I shared a lot with him.
Maybe too much.
Like what? Do you remember that summer? It seemed like Mom and Dad were constantly fighting.
The day Alison went missing it stopped.
And I don't think it was a coincidence.
Dad, he had a really strange reaction when he heard the news.
It was It was almost like he was relieved.
I'm listening.
Go on.
One night before she disappeared, I came home late.
Dad was up, something was bothering him but I didn't notice at first.
I was a wreck myself.
I had caught Alison flirting with Ian again.
- I sent texts to-- - To Ali? Telling her to back the hell off.
I told Dad everything.
I didn't know what else to do.
Did you sign these texts? I didn't have to.
She knew who they were from.
- Yeah.
So, what did Dad say? - Nothing.
He just had this look.
Like he supported me.
And you told this to Garrett? Ugh.
I never should have opened up to him.
I was venting, trying to sort through my feelings.
- This is not good.
- Why? Melissa, we're not the only people who know about Jason.
- Dad might have been blackmailed.
- What? By who? Alison.
Jason found cash, a lot of it.
Ali was hiding it.
And I asked Dad about it, the blackmail and he told me that he never paid Alison a cent.
Do we believe that? So your father's coming home from his conference today.
- And? - And I know he's very excited about the Father-Daughter dance.
Yeah, well, uh the Father-Daughter dance is a little more irony than I can handle.
Well, maybe you should learn to embrace the irony because there seems to be a lot of it in our lives.
Mom, if you could just talk to Dad, try and convince him-- Honey, at this point, I don't even know what I'd be trying to convince him of.
Wait.
What happened to last night's "I'm trying to understand you and Ezra"? I still am.
It's a process.
And for now I just don't think your father really needs to know about it.
[PHONE RINGING.]
- Hello? WILDEN [OVER PHONE.]
: Hey, Ashley.
I told you not to call me at home.
I take it you haven't talked to your daughter about where she got that report.
I gave it to you so you could come up with answers.
- I'm trying to keep Hanna out of it.
- Out of it? She's in the middle of it.
Well, so are you.
My daughter is being targeted and you need to find out who's doing this to her.
Unless you'd like me to talk to someone else in the department.
- Don't call me at the house again.
- Ashley, I'm-- [DIAL TONE.]
Ashley? - Good morning.
- Not really.
I just got off the phone with Dad.
He bailed on tomorrow night's dance.
Said he had a prior commitment.
Work or business.
But whatever, I mean, I was over that dance last year.
You know, I could take you to the dance.
Hello? Father-Daughter? You think you're the only girl with divorced parents whose dad can't make it? No, but I'd be the only one lame enough to show up and advertise it.
I can take the heat.
[CHUCKLES.]
Missing out on something you're looking forward to is lamer than going with your mother.
Okay.
Let's do it.
Me and you.
"Do Mom and Dad know you're watching murder movies? Bet it would kill them to find out.
A" - Is A talking about the N.
A.
T.
video? - Of course.
A knows we have their cell phone.
- You get that text from A? HANNA: Yes.
- Melissa's threatening to kill our parents.
- I told you Melissa can't be A.
Alison was getting texts from the law firm your sister interned at.
She explained that.
Melissa just wanted Ali to leave Ian alone.
So, what? What, I got chased by a hobo for nothing? That still doesn't explain why Melissa got into Garrett's car.
Do you think Garrett told her about the video? If she knows that she's on it and if she's A-- You guys, my sister is not A.
I watched her fall apart when we found Ian's body.
She had no idea that he was dead.
She wouldn't text herself from her dead husband's phone and then lose it like that.
Can we please just breathe for a second? No.
We have video of four people who could have killed Alison.
They were in her bedroom the night she died.
Can't we get in trouble for withdrawing evidence? I think you mean "withholding.
" Look, Spencer's right.
We jumped the gun before and we've gone to the cops.
And we ended up looking guilty.
They already think that we stole something from the morgue.
I don't think that we should give this to them.
Look, I know that I'm asking a lot but I think that I might have a way to find out more.
So can you guys just give me a chance to get into this? Okay.
I have got to find an obstetrician in the city.
All this back and forth for these appointments is just From Dad? "Looking forward to the dance.
" Wow.
Dad went a little bit overboard.
It's called overcompensating.
He still believes he can use his money to shut people up.
Melissa, we're not going there, okay? Dad did not pay off Ali.
We were both lied to, Spence.
This necklace is nothing but his guilt talking.
But being Jason's father is not the same thing as what you're thinking about.
I'm thinking that he has a lot to cover up for.
Oh, you opened it.
I wanted to see the look on your face.
It's It's just so Speechless.
You see that? Exactly what I was going for.
Come here.
You have to promise you're gonna wear it to the dance tomorrow night.
Sure.
Promise.
Thanks for meeting me here.
I don't want these conversations to be overheard.
Do you have something? A request.
I already told you I've tried talking to Hanna.
- She's not giving anything up.
- But her phone will.
You want her phone? I need to know who she's been talking to, who she's been texting.
Whoever gave her that report is in Hanna's world.
She's probably talked to them and definitely talked to her friends about them.
- I don't think I could do that.
- Well, think about it again, Ashley.
Because if we want answers, then you need to get me that phone.
MONA: So where is Caleb? He's in Montecito for the weekend visiting his parents.
- Tough life, huh? - Yeah.
- Have you heard from A again? - No.
Good thing too.
They say the punishment's supposed to fit the crime but this community service gig is like the ninth circle of hell.
Okay, it can't be that bad.
Today I went from the soup kitchen to the senior center.
I've gone from shopping carts to walkers.
- What's next? Driving the short bus? - Mona.
God, you are terrible.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey isn't that your mom? Hanna? HANNA: Why? Why would you talk to Wilden? Hanna - Hey, you're not, like, into him, are you? - No.
God, no.
Well, then what? Why would you be in a car with him? [ASHLEY SIGHS.]
I'm looking for answers because I can't get any from you.
What kind of answers? The other day, when Mona was here, I saw that shredded police report you had.
Yeah.
So? So where did it come from? I don't know.
Clearly, someone is trying to use that to hurt you and me so I gave it to Wilden.
Look, I don't like him any more than you do.
But if he can keep you safe-- No, giving that report to Wilden is the opposite of safe.
- Mom, if that gets out-- - It's already out.
It was on our kitchen counter.
Wilden has just as much at stake as we do.
He could lose his job.
And, Hanna, you don't always know what's best.
Yeah? Well, if you went to Wilden, then neither do you.
Hanna [ARIA CHUCKLES.]
Didn't Dad tell you to start by shaving with the grain? I'm still trying to find the grain.
I thought I'd try while he was away.
Then I could avoid-- Him taking pictures? Yeah.
No event too small to commemorate.
Are you still going to the dance? Why? Well, Gavin asked me to lend a hand DJing so I could use a ride.
Yeah, well, better find some back-up.
I'm not really feeling the whole father-daughter thing lately.
Well, I think you should go.
Yeah? Why? Dad still thinks you're seeing Holden, right? What makes you think that I'm not? - Did Mom talk-- - She didn't have to.
I heard you guys when you got home last night.
If you don't go, he's just gonna get suspicious that you're ducking out to see your secret boyfriend all over again.
Can I ask you a question? Sure.
You and Fitz being together, it's caused a lot of problems, right? Not just with you, but kind of with everybody.
- I guess.
- I'm not blaming you.
I just I don't get it.
And you and Dad, right now it's just the latest in a whole bunch of messy fights and lies - and bad feelings-- - Mike.
What's your question? If your relationship is so much trouble why not just let it go? Seems impossible that things will ever work out.
Look, when you love someone it's worth fighting for.
No matter what the odds.
Dad, it's so great to see you.
I wish Mom was here too.
Well, she may have felt like a third wheel at a Father-Daughter Dance.
She's got that charity run this weekend.
Yeah, I'm excited to call and find out her times.
Usually it's the other way around.
Your mom's kicking herself for missing your swim finals.
Yeah, it was no big deal.
Well, actually, it kind of was.
Well, at least you have Maya in the stands cheering for you.
That's not a good look.
Wanna tell me what's going on? Maya's gone.
I caught her doing something that could get her in a lot of trouble.
And instead of listening, I jumped down her throat.
She said she was gonna crash with some friends in San Francisco so I guess that's where she is.
I just wish she'd call or text me or something so I'd know for sure.
Her parents have no idea where she is? I know you would feel better if you had more information but it sounds to me like Maya wants to stay disconnected.
There's not a lot of ways that someone your age could make it to California on their own.
We could check the bus station.
It's cheap.
It's a great way to travel under the radar.
Hell, I made it to Albuquerque.
You ran away? I put your grandparents through hell.
[WAYNE SIGHS.]
I was, uh, lost in high school.
- How long were you gone for? - Just a few days.
Long enough to scare them.
Yeah.
Well, if that's what Maya intended to do, it's definitely working.
Hey, come on.
Let's take a look around today.
See if we can put your mind at ease.
And who knows, maybe Maya decides to come home faster if she knows the people who care about her are still looking.
Hey, you up for a little round-robin? - Meeting the Gibsons at the club.
- Um I would really love to but I have to study.
You don't like it, do you? The necklace.
- I should have let you pick something out.
- No.
Dad, I do like it.
I get it.
You need your space.
But I miss having you out there on the court with me.
We make such a great team.
Okay.
Oh, I, uh, made dinner reservations at Gianni's.
Know it's one of your favorites.
Seven o'clock good? Yeah, 7's fine.
Okay.
Will you be gone long? Um, a couple hours.
[DOOR OPENS.]
MELISSA: Dad? Oh.
- Hey.
- Hey.
He's at the club.
I just needed a stamp.
Well, I think I actually might have a stamp in my-- Oh.
I got one.
EMILY: I'll see if one of the ticket agents talked to Maya.
Who was working a couple of nights ago? EMILY: Excuse me.
- She can help you at the next station.
The guard said you were working a couple nights ago.
I was.
- Do you remember seeing this girl? - Sorry.
- If you could just tell me-- - Sorry, miss.
I only have 20 minutes for lunch.
I'm not gonna find anything here.
Hold on a second, sweetie.
Afternoon, sir.
- You commissioned? - Fort Hood, Texas.
Honorable discharge, '75.
How can I help you? My daughter's got some questions.
A friend of hers is lost.
We wanna see if we can bring her back home.
- Can I see that picture again? EMILY: Yeah.
I did see your friend.
Bought a ticket to San Fran.
- That's where she went.
- Where she bought a ticket to.
What do you mean, exactly? Well, I saw her twice that night.
Once at the window and about an hour later, I was checking a lady's bags I saw her standing outside talking to someone in a dark-colored car.
Blue, maybe black.
- Could you see who was driving? - Not really.
I turned my back for a minute to load some bags and when I looked back, both your friend and the car were gone.
- Do you know if she got on the bus? - Can't say for sure.
Great.
She could be anywhere.
- Thanks for your help, sir.
- My pleasure.
That looks nice.
Oh, you're home.
Yeah, are you, uh, picking something for tonight? Yup.
Trying to do my best.
Don't take too long.
I need lead time to make sure my tie matches.
Dad, we don't have to do that this year.
Why, what's different about this year? Listen, Aria, I know that you and I have had our problems lately.
But this is This is the Father-Daughter dance.
And I need to take my little girl.
Is that too much to ask? No.
It's not.
I'll let you know when I pick out what I'm gonna wear.
[BUZZING.]
WOMAN [ON PHONE.]
: Voice mailbox full.
- Where are you going? - Out.
Hanna.
Hanna.
You have one last chance to tell me about that police report.
- I already told you.
- What you want to tell me.
I'm asking you for the rest.
Who it came from and why.
[SIGHS.]
- You need to give me your phone.
- What? If you're not gonna give me answers I'm gonna have to go looking for them myself.
- Did Wilden ask you--? - This isn't about Wilden.
This is about you and me.
I am trying to help you.
Give it to me.
- No.
- Now.
Hanna.
Hanna! I'm out of here.
[SIGHS.]
[TEARS FOR FEARS' "EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD" PLAYING.]
[PEOPLE CHATTERING.]
You're wearing your dress uniform.
Isn't that for special occasions? And what's not special about tonight? Well, would have been more special if I'd gotten ready on time.
Sort of got hung up at home.
- Maya called.
- You talked to her? Is she all right? She didn't leave a message.
I wanted to wait and see if she'd call back.
Well, at least you heard from her.
It's just so frustrating.
I mean, you made plans for us to hang out and all I wanted to do was look for Maya.
Now I'm starting to realize that maybe she doesn't wanna be found.
- I wish I hadn't wasted our time together.
- How we spend the time doesn't matter.
I got to spend time with you.
I don't want you feeling guilty about that.
So sad they had to fade it Everybody wants to rule the world Emmie, I have to be truthful with you.
This may be the last weekend we get to spend together for a while.
What do you mean? - They're sending you back.
- Afghanistan.
Six months.
- Does Mom know? - She does.
Part of the reason why she stayed at home.
To pack up the house.
And she wanted to give us some quality time together.
When do you leave? I'm on the last flight out tonight.
Deploy out of Texas tomorrow morning.
Come on.
I can't stand this indecision Married with a lack of vision Everybody wants to rule the world Say that you'll never, never, never Never need it You look beautiful.
Thanks.
Everybody wants to rule the world Hey, later, let's make sure that we get a photograph, okay? Of course.
You know, I remember the first time we danced like this you were so little you had to stand on my shoes.
Yeah, that was a really long time ago, Dad.
Yeah.
I guess it was.
[SIGHS.]
[FERGIE'S "BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY" PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS.]
The smell of your skin Lingers on me now I'm gonna get us something to drink, okay? - Yeah, that sounds good.
- Okay.
Clarity Peace, serenity - Hanna, what's going on? - Where's your dress? - Where's your mom? - Hot on the A trail.
Um, what does that mean exactly? She found the police report that A sent you.
And she thinks it was sent to me.
She gave it to Wilden.
SPENCER: Why? - Because she thinks it's a threat.
- It is.
- And I don't know.
- She's just trying to keep us safe.
- Yeah, but why Wilden? Hanna, now your mom and my mom are both asking questions about A.
And A doesn't like that.
If they talk to each other-- Or if Wilden comes up with something? - I mean, what if they end up like-- - Okay, just, um Okay.
We need a creative solution.
Well, I have an idea.
Okay, Mona.
It's gonna require a really big lie and I'm terrible at that.
Which one of you girls is best at hiding the truth from someone who's close to you? Her.
Wow, really? Thanks, guys.
Okay, Mona, what's my lie? [SCARS ON 45'S "PROMISES AND EMPTY WORDS" PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS.]
Don't forget to smile.
Is there a reason why What's wrong? Slow dance not your speed? Because I can get the DJ to pump up the jams a little if you want, heh.
No, really, come on.
Bust a move with your old man.
What do you say? Huh? You know, Spencer, I'm really trying here.
A little bit too hard.
Hey, wait, Spencer.
Dad, you kept a huge secret from us and I don't wanna do the same thing to you.
I went into your study today while you were at the club.
And you told me that you didn't pay Alison a cent.
- Because I didn't.
- I found a check stub.
What check stub? Were you in my desk? There was no date but it was around the time of Alison's disappearance.
- Spencer - Fifteen thousand dollars, Dad.
Exactly the amount that Ali had stashed away.
Look, I know we have some trust issues right now but that didn't give you the right to go into my desk.
Can we not discuss this here? I wanna go home.
Your promises and empty words Surround you Why should I be the one To give this everything? Hey.
Just in time.
It's almost our turn.
Yeah, about that.
Do you care if we leave the dance a little bit early? - Early? - Like now? Um, Hanna really needs me.
Well, I just saw Hanna.
She looked fine.
Dad, please.
Um, can we at least get a photo? We've got one from-- Every year, you and your little girl.
I know.
But you need to understand something.
I'm not your little girl anymore.
I'm sorry.
But I'm not.
Okay.
[SIGHS.]
Toby? [MATTHEW PERRYMAN JONES' "SATELLITES" PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS.]
It's really amazing what they've done in here.
Almost forget I'm in a cafeteria.
Yeah.
It's pretty.
Dad, why didn't you tell me right when you got here? I couldn't, kiddo.
As much as I was worried about Maya, I could have handled it.
Look, I know you can handle it.
It was more for me.
I just needed this weekend to dance with you.
Imagine I'm in your sight Sending wishes and taking flight Lovers will find A way I have a confession to make.
Okay.
I know about that police report you have.
And I know who sent it to Hanna.
You do? Who? - Me.
- You? Why? I've known for a while now that Hanna's been shoplifting again.
I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you that.
- Go on.
- Well, Hanna wouldn't listen to me to any of us, when we begged her to stop.
And I know that she's been caught before and I just was afraid that if she got caught again she could end up in jail.
So I sent her the report to frighten her.
To try and scare her straight.
- How did you get it? - I made it up.
Literally.
It's nice to know my Photoshop class finally came in handy.
Well, that's quite a story.
- And you were the only person involved? - Yep.
I'm A.
A for anonymous.
A for Aria.
- A for-- - I get it.
I'm so sorry, Mrs.
Marin.
I appreciate you speaking with me, Aria.
Yeah.
Well, if there's anything else you need me to do or if there's-- I think I'll take it from here.
What else did you touch in here? - Nothing.
- Spencer, you said you were in here today.
- Did you open this drawer? - No, it was locked.
Dad? Yes, hi.
I need to report a break-in.
The house was locked up tight when we left but there's a gun missing from my desk.
Yes.
No, uh, nothing else appears to be stolen, just the gun.
Hey.
Hey.
You have a good time tonight? Considering it was a Father-Daughter dance? Yeah.
Yeah, heh, absolutely.
Oh, that's great.
Have you, um? Have you, uh, seen your sister? Not yet.
Okay.
Well, goodnight.
Dad? Do you think maybe you've been too hard on Aria? Well, it sounds like you do.
Well, I know that she didn't tell you the truth about her and Mr.
Fitz.
But did she tell you why? No.
Maybe because you didn't ask.
PETER: All right, thank you.
See you soon.
Patrol car will be here shortly.
Gave those pictures to a private investigator for reference.
You had her followed? The check stub you found today, written to cash? - But I thought that-- - I know what you thought.
You thought I paid Alison's blackmail.
That I lied to you.
Spencer, I hired a private investigator to look into her disappearance.
Why would you spend that much money? Why would you even care? Because I thought someone very important to me might be involved.
You changed that will to give Jason an alibi? Was this you protecting him? Do you think Jason really had something to do with it? No, Spencer.
Not Jason.
I was worried about your sister.
Why? Melissa was harassing Alison.
Sending her texts and threats.
And then your friend disappeared.
- You don't think that Melissa--? - I just needed peace of mind.
And I was willing to pay for answers.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
That's the police.
Think you better go upstairs.
[POLICE RADIO CHATTER.]
Spencer.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you.
Why are the cops here? I saw Dad talking to them outside.
Dad's gun is missing.
He thinks that somebody broke in.
You didn't hear anybody, did you? No, I fell asleep watching a show in the barn.
Lights woke me up a few minutes ago.
I thought that the TV outside was broken.
I don't know.
I was watching on my laptop.
Listen, I gotta go back to the city tonight.
After everything we talked about, Jason, Dad, the blackmail I don't think I can stay here.
I should get on the road.
But listen, Spencer if things start getting even weirder around here you can always come stay with me.
I want you to know I'll keep you safe.
Okay? Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
ASHLEY: I didn't buy it.
- I appreciate that.
But the fact that Aria would make this up-- They're all making things up.
Hiding something or someone.
Whoever this A person is has got them completely terrified.
And when I saw that police report, I was scared too.
About a year ago when Byron and I were split up this A sent something to us too.
They knew things about our family.
What did you do? Nothing.
I mean, I didn't know what to do.
I do.
I got the police involved.
I'm not so sure that's a good idea.
A knows things about Aria that could hurt her.
This has gone on for far too long.
We owe it to ourselves and our daughters to get some answers.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Did my mom buy it? I have no idea.
- Do you feel guilty? - No.
Yes.
- I don't know.
- That's always a good sign.
[CELL PHONE RINGING.]
Aria, what's wrong? It's Jonah.
Well, answer it.
Hello? ARIA: Wait, Spence.
Stop here.
I think this is the block.
HANNA: Welcome to Brookhaven.
What did Jonah say to you exactly? That Vivian Darkbloom's friend Alison was receiving texts from more than one number.
Wait.
So does this mean Melissa was telling Spencer the truth? It means that she was getting texts from more than one number.
So there was someone else? Like, the real A.
Spence, you were right.
Where exactly are we headed? I don't know.
Jonah said he couldn't find a specific address of the texts but that they originated somewhere in a block radius from here.
Do we have any idea what we're looking for? Well, I'm looking for a new phone.
Guys.
My God.
Those look exactly like those creepy Chucky dolls that A sent us.
I'm freezing.
Think I have something in the back of my car.
Thanks.
I used to like dolls.
I'm over it.
Me too.
[CAR BEEPS.]
MAN: Vivian?
