Pretty Little Liars s07e18 Episode Script
Choose or Lose
1 Previously on "Pretty Little Liars" Mona knows about the game.
She know the answer before you even ask the question.
SPENCER: Okay, we don't need your theories.
I guess you're forgetting who replaced the shattered windshield once you peeled Dunhill off of it.
You still want this, don't you? - I want it back.
- Then you'll get it.
But first you need to deliver a gift to Spencer and her family.
- What is going on? - How did she get in here? LINDA: I could pin a lot on you.
Can I kiss you? I wanna be a family.
I want to marry your daughter, Mrs.
Marin.
We have something to toast.
Earlier tonight the Radley bar was flooded destroying all the receipts stored.
Security cams went dark during the exact ten minutes we needed.
We'll just have to broaden the scope of my investigation.
- Of a flood? - Of a homicide.
- What happened? - Someone knocked me down.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) - Here you go.
- Thanks.
Sorry for all the tossing and turning last night.
Considering what's going on in our lives right now it's amazing neither one of us can get any sleep.
You're so beautiful in the morning.
(CHUCKLES) (MUSIC CONTINUES) You know, just because you had a bad night doesn't mean we can't have a good morning.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) When did you move that in here? I didn't.
EMILY: Here's your puzzle piece.
How? Someone's been in here.
Might still be in here.
(SIREN WAILS) (KNOCK ON DOOR) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) - What's going on? - It's a search warrant.
Check those drawers.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) I may need you to stay here.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) - Hello? - Are the police there? - Yeah.
- They're here, too.
They had Spencer sprung first.
She called me and then I called Aria.
Ma'am, I'm gonna need your phone.
What? Now? (MACHINE BUZZING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) What is going on? (KNOCKING ON DOOR) The police.
BARRY: Check this stuff, too.
Come in here.
You need to check these bureaus.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) I need to speak to Detective Furey now.
LINDA: Detective Furey is no longer on this case.
I'm in charge now.
Got a secret can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save Better lock it in your pocket Taking this one to the grave If I show you then I know you Won't tell what I said 'Cause two can keep a secret I can tell you're surprised by Detective Furey's absence.
No, it just seemed sudden, that's all.
Did it? My understanding is, he was a good cop but that here in Rosewood, he seemed distracted.
Does that seem like a fair characterization? I really couldn't say.
Nothing in your relationship led you to believe that he was conflicted in his approach to solving the murder of Archer Dunhill? No.
Furey told me everything, Miss Hastings.
From bar stools, to ping pong right before he took himself off the case.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) I'm giving you a chance to tell the truth.
Oh, but I guess (SIGHS) old habits die hard.
I am impressed by how well you played him.
But then again, I remember how adept you and your friends are at that sort of thing.
- That's not fair.
- Oh, fairness.
It's overrated.
Truth is what counts.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) Well, I would say that it's good to see you but under these circumstances You should know something.
I'm a closer.
I asked to have this investigation.
I am going to get to the bottom of what happened to Dunhill and how you and your friends are involved.
I've always felt that you were guilty in some way, I just never knew how.
Now, I think I'm gonna find out.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) Wait.
So, where exactly is the list that says what you can and cannot seize? Seriously, who do I talk to about this? Call the station, but just not on this.
I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) (SIGHS) (TELEPHONE RINGING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (BEEPING) (RINGING) A.
D.
: I know the police took your phone and I didn't want you to be without especially now that you're on my team.
- It's not enough.
- What's not enough? The phone.
I wanna meet you.
Well, I'm not sure if that's wise.
Neither am I, but time's running out.
Cops just left.
Who knows what they'll find.
I have done everything you asked me.
You said it yourself.
I-I-I've earned my way on your team.
You owe me.
Tonight, I'll text you the details.
And, Aria, wear the uniform.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (KEYBOARD CLACKING) (BEEPING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (COMPUTER BEEPS) (POP MUSIC) Hey, are you alright? Yeah, I'm fine.
My childhood teddy bear is now in jail with my phone and my favorite pillow, but - Hanna? - I'm fine.
The police seem to think that you're all involved in disappearance of that imposter Alison Merrit.
Is that true? - Detective Furey - Mom.
Just tell me.
I have never seen you like this.
What're you talking about? I'm always trying to help you.
Yeah, but you're never so quick to think that I need it.
Okay.
Do you need it? Yes.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) But I'm not gonna let you give it to me.
What? Why? Mom, you've spent your whole life helping me.
Doing things you shouldn't have had to do.
Because I love you.
And now it's time for me to show you how much I love you by not letting you get involved.
(DOOR OPENS) Hey, did your mom find you? I could have climbed through a window and she would have found me.
Hey, she gave us a room to hang out in until we can go back to our houses.
Yeah, I know.
Probably thought I'd feel bad about getting a free suite.
The world's upside down.
Speaking of which I got us all these until we get our real phones back.
This makes me really want to go to jail.
What're we doing to stay out of jail? - Has anyone heard from Aria? - No.
'Cause she doesn't have one of these.
Okay, guys, I know we all woke up early and we're cranky, but let's stay focused.
I'm as freaked out as the rest of you.
Maybe even more, considering it looks like A.
D.
was watching Ali and me sleep last night.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Wait, so are you two Well, about time.
So, I've been thinking.
The game has to connect to the Internet and it does that with an IP address which is like a phone number.
I'm writing a program right now to search the cell towers in Rosewood.
When the game connects, I might be able to find his location.
No wonder they call you "Too genius, too furious.
" No one calls me that.
(ALL CHUCKLE) Wait, we ordered food? Yeah, before we realized that none of us was hungry.
Oh, my God.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Is that the same one from the game? I think so.
"Just one plea, the rest go free.
If no one steps up, you all go down.
" SPENCER: I don't understand.
(BEEPING) He wants us to choose one of us to go to jail.
Or we all go.
(DOOR OPENS) If you want an explanation, you might try asking Aria.
Why would we ask Aria? I think she's on the A.
D.
team.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) Explain.
Well First there's the whole locker 214 fiasco.
Aria said she couldn't make it to the high school to see who picked up the hard drive.
That's because she was at the publicity event with Ezra.
Which she did not actually attend, so where was she? The trashing of your nursery happened at the exact same time.
Spencer, were any of us sitting in this room right now near your house when that recording of Mary Drake and your father was played? How do you know about that? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) No.
But Aria was.
Okay, guys, come on.
Aria would never do something like that.
I saw her get a puzzle piece in the brew.
It was hidden for her and she knew where to find it.
I also managed to access a portion of an unsettling phone call Aria had today.
With who? A.
D.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) ARIA ON RECORDING: I've earned my way on your team.
You owe me.
A.
D.
: Tonight, I'll text you the details.
I'm not happy about this.
Whether you choose to believe me or not Concrete proof.
Just remember you asked for it.
(BEEPING) Well, search warrants were served on multiple locations this morning.
No, ma'am, I can't tell you exactly when but from what I've seen so far it does indicate that we should be able to file charges within a week.
I will.
Thank you.
- Lieutenant Tanner.
- Yeah? - You need to see this.
- Okay.
Hm.
Where'd you find it? Shower drain.
There are traces of blood in there, too.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Hm.
Good work.
(INDISTINCT POP MUSIC) Spencer.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Oh, my God.
What're you doing here? Did something happen? Tanner happened.
She called me in for questioning.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- Um, how are you doing? - Um - I haven't seen you since - Yeah.
Thank you.
Some good days, some bad.
I'm, uh, I'm hanging in there.
How are you, how are you holding up? Just feels like there's There's so much noise that's coming from everywhere.
Mm-hmm.
But you know that's why I love being out at the cabin.
You couldn't find a noise out there if you tired.
You could join me if you'd like.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) So, um Tanner Uh Yeah, no, I, I tried to get a picture of what she was doing who she was talking to.
And? (SIGHS) It, it seems like she's building a solid case.
That she didn't share a lot, but she was acting encouraged.
Should I be worried? Did you have anything to do with Dunhill's murder? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (SIGHS) I have to go.
Where? It's probably better if you don't know.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Aria? W-what's goin' on? Nothing.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) You should probably get that.
Hey, yeah.
Wes.
What's goin' on? Look, can (DOOR SHUTS) (CRICKETS CHIRPING) (DOG BARKING) (LEAVES RUSTLING) (CELL PHONE BEEPS) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (RUSTLING) (INTENSE MUSIC) What are you doin' out here? I was, I was trying to meet A.
D.
Oh, my God.
Mona was right.
Mona? What has Mona have to do Were you in our nursery? Did you put the recording in Spencer's house? I mean, did A.
D.
ask you to do this and in return give you a puzzle piece? I can explain.
Aria, we literally caught you black-hooded.
Why would you do this for A.
D.
? Do you remember when we found out Ezra was writing a book about Alison and hid it from us, from me? (SIGHS) I did something to get back at him.
What? I filled out a police report that was accusing him of trying to take advantage of me.
I never filed it, but somehow A.
D.
got it and threatened to turn it in.
Ezra would have gone to jail.
So, what? It was just a no-brainer of you to pick Ezra over us? Guys, I didn't know what to do.
EMILY: You could have talked to us.
Okay? We're friends, since forever.
That's what we do.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Hello.
Do you know anything about "Choose or loose" or the timer? - No.
What are you - The game, Aria! (DRAMATIC MUSIC) A.
D.
never mentioned any of that.
You really have been talking to A.
D.
Spence, A.
D.
or A has been forcing us to make terrible choices.
Do you remember Malcolm? You kidnapped Ezra's kid to get to Toby.
I didn't end up hurting anybody.
Because of you, my parents are getting a divorce.
You have ruined everything that I ever had.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) We're done.
We're done and I'm out.
- Spencer - Don't try to change my mind.
I'm not trying to.
That was Tanner.
She wants us to come down to the police station.
You, too.
You can find your own ride.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Thank you for joining me.
I thought it might be helpful to discuss all of the evidence that our department has gathered into the investigation of the murder of Mr.
Archer Dunhill.
Piece of glass was retrieved from Ms.
Hasting's shower drain this morning.
A windshield fragment.
Interesting, since the car belonging to an acquaintance of yours, Lucas Gottesman recently had its windshield replaced.
Lots of cars get their windshields replaced.
But the piece of glass in question also matches a fragment found under the fingernails of the deceased, Mr.
Dunhill.
We're also analyzing your search history in your computers.
Honestly, it surprises me just how few people take advantage of the privacy settings.
- What else? - Excuse me? What else do you have? There's a quite a bit of Radley Hotel video from the night Mr.
Dunhill disappeared.
Did you know that they even have a camera in the elevator? We get it.
There's lots of evidence.
And there's probably more to come.
But the question is, why are you telling us this? I thought it was obvious.
I am giving you a chance to tell your side of the story before my side becomes the only side.
You were the one who rescued us five years ago.
That's because you wouldn't tell me the truth and you ended up in an underground bunker.
So why don't you let me help you now? Are we done here? For now.
Mm-hmm.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) You're free to go home.
Hope you get a good night's sleep.
(KEYPAD BEEPING) (RINGING) - You disappointed me.
- I disappointed you? A.
D.
: I agreed to meet you, but you weren't careful.
And look what happened.
I don't like sloppiness on my team.
Yeah, I don't like being lied to.
You were never gonna meet me, were you? You just wanted to blow my cover and blow up all of our lives.
Well, congratulations, you did it.
- You must be really proud.
- Aria You got me to turn against almost every single person that I love.
And all I have to show for it is the cop's on my ass.
I've done everything you asked me to do.
- You've given me nothing.
- I gave you the file.
The file's done.
So am I.
A.
D.
: Our relationship is not over until I say it is.
(BEEPING) - Don't.
- Why? Because tomorrow is another day.
Tomorrow? What happens tomorrow? Wait for it.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Time is stupid.
That's my favorite thing you've ever said.
How is it that after everything we've been through one or all of us is about to go to jail? This time around, it is kinda special.
I mean we did kill a guy.
Did anyone notice anything different about Mona this morning? She's Mona.
Different's in her job description.
Yeah, I guess.
(CELL PHONE BUZZING) "Twenty four hours left.
Pick just one or you're all done.
" (BEEPING) (SIGHS) At least, he's consistent.
Yeah, well, there's no way that's gonna happen.
Maybe there is.
I was driving.
I'm the one who killed him.
If I turn myself in, then you guys are safe.
No.
I'm the person who should turn themselves in.
If I hadn't have used the wrong credit card at this bar, then we would all be in the clear.
None of this would have happened if I hadn't married whatever his name was.
You guys, see what's happening here, right? I mean, this is why A.
D's torturing us.
This is exactly what they wanted all along.
Us breaking apart.
I mean, they already succeeded with Aria.
Whether we pushed her out or she did herself she's gone.
Aria definitely did it to herself.
Okay, but if A.
D.
hadn't gotten Aria to do what she did they'd have found a way to force another one of us, too.
I mean, you should know that better than anyone else.
Meaning what? Meaning that A.
D.
convinced you to play the game first.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Where are you going? I have some thinking to do.
I guess we all do.
(BEEPING) Caleb.
- Yeah.
- Can we talk? Always.
I need to know what's going on with Hanna.
You know, don't you? (SIGHS) If Hanna doesn't want you to know I know this is about the death of Dunhill.
Is Hanna covering for someone? - Actually - Is it Alison? She's always at the bottom of everything.
Is that who Hanna's covering for? HANNA: I cannot believe that you told my mom.
It's called the truth.
I think it's something, we all need to become a little more familiar with.
Hmm.
Yeah, easy for you to say.
Hey.
We're in this together.
That's why I told your mom.
Are you really gonna try and weasel your way out of this by saying you love me? - Well, will it work? - It might.
I love you.
Damn, you're good.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Alright, break time's over.
Are you any closer to finding the game? Well, there is no close.
I either find the location or I've got nothing.
So far, nothing.
Do you remember when these used to be our phones? Like, a million years ago? (EXHALES) There was so much less to worry about.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) I'm really sorry that I involved you in this mess.
Which mess, in particular? All of it.
(SIGHS) May be we should have never told you about the night that Dunhill died, and I shouldn't have asked you help me trash his credit card receipts.
But you did.
ARIA: Spencer, what are you doing here? SPENCER: I found this in the barn.
And it made me think.
Spencer, I'm so sorry.
I know you are.
And I wish that I could forgive you, but I might have misjudged you.
Tell me what I need to do.
- Please.
- Nothing.
Not now.
You've done enough.
But what you said last night about me taking Malcolm, you were right.
None of us is blameless.
So I do want to say that I'm sorry (KNOCKING ON DOOR) (INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) What's going on? Your friend's getting her belongings back.
- What? - Why? I just received proof that you were not in Rosewood on the night that Dunhill disappeared.
A red-light cam caught you full-frontal in Keene, New Hampshire.
Now, that is more than 300 miles away.
I do not know what you were doing in New Hampshire but I guess that's none of my business anymore.
Too bad you're not as lucky as your friend.
I'll see you tomorrow.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Spence (EXHALES DEEPLY) (EXHALES) What's going on? We need to talk.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) What are you trying to tell me? I'm trying to tell you I knew about it.
- You knew about the file? - Yeah.
And I figured that's what you're shredding.
After the cops left, I took the shredder bag and I dumped it in the composter just to be on the safe side.
How did you know? The other night, after you fell asleep I found it I'm so sorry.
I was so angry when I wrote that.
I know.
And, and you should have been angry.
The the book I was writing about Alison where we met, and-and I started I started this relationship by lying to you.
I wouldn't have blamed you if you had turned in that file then or now.
I would have deserved it.
- And maybe I still do.
- No.
No, you do not.
Okay? I was scared.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) (SIGHS) And I've done some really terrible things to you and everyone else.
You don't need to tell me that.
Yes, I do! I do.
I have to tell you everything.
But I need to do one thing first because I'm not sure you'll still be here when I'm done.
Okay.
What's (MUSIC CONTINUES) What exactly are we doing here? I hate you.
(CHUCKLES) I know.
I even got these.
Someday, maybe we can afford nicer ones.
Maybe a nicer wedding.
No, it's perfect.
I just thought, with everything going on right now we should do this while we still can.
Plus, um You know, if we're married we, we can't testify against each other.
Oh, so it's a twofer.
Are you down? Absolutely.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) So, what are we supposed to do until tomorrow morning when Callie Johnson, justice of the peace comes to work? (ASHLEY SIGHS) Glad I'm not too late.
How did you know? Caleb told me.
He told me a lot of things.
- Like what? - The truth.
Most of which I am not happy about.
And tomorrow it's gonna be all hands on deck.
I've already got a call into a new lawyer and I But tonight I'm just gonna be happy that you have found a man who loves you and wants to protect you.
And I can't wait for him to be a part of our family.
Mom, you're gonna have to wait 12 hours.
Actually Never underestimate the power of mom.
Give me time.
I might even get your teddy bear paroled.
I still have no idea where we are going.
(LAUGHS) That's why it's called a surprise.
At least, we know here's giving me a chance to think.
You know, maybe we should get outta here.
- While we still can.
- Really? I don't know.
It could be an adventure.
Raising a child on our own.
Not knowin' anybody.
(SIGHS) My leaving, us escaping That was just a dream.
And Rosewood's a place where dreams go to die? No.
Not all of them.
I had a dream of us being here.
(EMILY GASPS) Oh, my God.
It's beautiful.
And if this is our last chance of freedom let's make the most of it.
- Spencer.
- Hi.
What are you doin' here? You invited me, remember? Oh, yeah, I guess I did.
- Now, come in.
- Thanks.
I figured that you'd be in Rosewood keeping tabs on Tanner's case.
No, what's going to happen is going to happen.
That doesn't sound like the Spencer I know.
A little surprise.
May I? Of course.
(SPENCER SIGHS) The whole drive up, I thought about just staying on the road.
Just following it someplace else.
And why didn't you? Hmm.
You know what it's like to be the outsider.
I do.
And when you move from friends and family Yeah, it's the worst.
I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
It always seems like we're saying goodbye.
(SCOFFS) Do you remember that kiss we shared? I do.
That was nice, wasn't it? (INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) And the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only Light we'll see No I won't be afraid No I won't be afraid As long as you stand by me So darling Stand By me Stand By me (INDISTINCT) If the sky we look upon Should tumble and fall And the mountain should crumble To the sea I won't cry I won't cry No I won't shed a tear Just as long as You stand by me And darling Stand By me Stand By me Stand By me Stand By me When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only Light we'll see No I won't be afraid I do.
I do.
Just as long As you stand By me (DOOR CLOSES) - Hey.
- Hey.
How much time is left? It's 3:59 a.
m.
So seconds.
We all agreed that we'd be here when the time ran down.
- And here we all are.
- Except Aria.
(SIGHS) I think that we should make a promise.
No matter what happens next no matter what each of us decides to do we swear that the rest of us will understand.
No one will be blamed for anything.
I swear.
Me, too.
I swear.
(BEEPING) (BUZZING) I'll tell you what our choice is.
(PHONE SHATTERS) (EXHALES) Why didn't we think of that earlier? - Okay, what now? - We're supposed to wait here? That's exactly what you should do.
Toby got a hit on the game's location.
He texted Ezra to meet me.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (DOOR OPENS) (DOOR SHUTS) (BEEPING) (RINGING) A.
D.
: Dark night of the soul, Aria? It was.
Yeah.
Until I realized something.
There's a way for me to get you out of my life.
- To end this.
All of this.
- Really? What's that? I'm gonna turn myself in.
I'll tell Tanner I killed Dunhill, the others go free.
It's a small price to pay for what I've done to my friends and as a bonus, I don't have to hear your miserable voice ever again.
Well, that's very noble of you.
But there's just one problem with your plan.
You're too late.
What are you talking about? You-you said that it was "Choose or lose.
" Time ran out, Aria.
The game is over.
And guess what? - You won.
- What? I don't Your grand prize, chosen especially for you is an unlimited supply of freedom.
Enjoy it wherever you want.
Perhaps, right where you are as things are going to get a little messy with your friends.
- Please, do not do this.
- It's done.
I hope you enjoyed the game, Aria.
I have.
I'm going to miss these calls.
- No! - Goodbye.
(EXPLODES) (CRACKLING) (SIGHS) Dammit! (PANTING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (INTENSE MUSIC) Take the next left.
Pull over.
- Here? - Pull over.
This is it.
The location of the cell tower that the gamer's been using to communicate.
Where are we? Mona lives a block away.
(BEEPING) (PHONE RINGING) AUTOMATED MESSAGE: You've reached Spencer.
Please, leave a message.
Spence, I'm on my way to you right now.
If you will still take me.
Look, I know that things are royally messed up right now and I know that it's my fault, but I-I think I have an idea of how we can make things right again, so, please, just let me try.
(SIGHS) (MUFFLED THUD) (ENGINE REVVING) (RUMBLING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (GASPING) (INTENSE MUSIC) (SIREN WAILING) (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) (BEEPING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) It's warm.
The signals from the game are coming from inside the apartment.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) (BUZZING) (INTENSE MUSIC)
She know the answer before you even ask the question.
SPENCER: Okay, we don't need your theories.
I guess you're forgetting who replaced the shattered windshield once you peeled Dunhill off of it.
You still want this, don't you? - I want it back.
- Then you'll get it.
But first you need to deliver a gift to Spencer and her family.
- What is going on? - How did she get in here? LINDA: I could pin a lot on you.
Can I kiss you? I wanna be a family.
I want to marry your daughter, Mrs.
Marin.
We have something to toast.
Earlier tonight the Radley bar was flooded destroying all the receipts stored.
Security cams went dark during the exact ten minutes we needed.
We'll just have to broaden the scope of my investigation.
- Of a flood? - Of a homicide.
- What happened? - Someone knocked me down.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) - Here you go.
- Thanks.
Sorry for all the tossing and turning last night.
Considering what's going on in our lives right now it's amazing neither one of us can get any sleep.
You're so beautiful in the morning.
(CHUCKLES) (MUSIC CONTINUES) You know, just because you had a bad night doesn't mean we can't have a good morning.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) When did you move that in here? I didn't.
EMILY: Here's your puzzle piece.
How? Someone's been in here.
Might still be in here.
(SIREN WAILS) (KNOCK ON DOOR) (MUSIC CONTINUES) (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) - What's going on? - It's a search warrant.
Check those drawers.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) I may need you to stay here.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) - Hello? - Are the police there? - Yeah.
- They're here, too.
They had Spencer sprung first.
She called me and then I called Aria.
Ma'am, I'm gonna need your phone.
What? Now? (MACHINE BUZZING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) What is going on? (KNOCKING ON DOOR) The police.
BARRY: Check this stuff, too.
Come in here.
You need to check these bureaus.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) I need to speak to Detective Furey now.
LINDA: Detective Furey is no longer on this case.
I'm in charge now.
Got a secret can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save Better lock it in your pocket Taking this one to the grave If I show you then I know you Won't tell what I said 'Cause two can keep a secret I can tell you're surprised by Detective Furey's absence.
No, it just seemed sudden, that's all.
Did it? My understanding is, he was a good cop but that here in Rosewood, he seemed distracted.
Does that seem like a fair characterization? I really couldn't say.
Nothing in your relationship led you to believe that he was conflicted in his approach to solving the murder of Archer Dunhill? No.
Furey told me everything, Miss Hastings.
From bar stools, to ping pong right before he took himself off the case.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) I'm giving you a chance to tell the truth.
Oh, but I guess (SIGHS) old habits die hard.
I am impressed by how well you played him.
But then again, I remember how adept you and your friends are at that sort of thing.
- That's not fair.
- Oh, fairness.
It's overrated.
Truth is what counts.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) Well, I would say that it's good to see you but under these circumstances You should know something.
I'm a closer.
I asked to have this investigation.
I am going to get to the bottom of what happened to Dunhill and how you and your friends are involved.
I've always felt that you were guilty in some way, I just never knew how.
Now, I think I'm gonna find out.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) Wait.
So, where exactly is the list that says what you can and cannot seize? Seriously, who do I talk to about this? Call the station, but just not on this.
I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) (SIGHS) (TELEPHONE RINGING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (BEEPING) (RINGING) A.
D.
: I know the police took your phone and I didn't want you to be without especially now that you're on my team.
- It's not enough.
- What's not enough? The phone.
I wanna meet you.
Well, I'm not sure if that's wise.
Neither am I, but time's running out.
Cops just left.
Who knows what they'll find.
I have done everything you asked me.
You said it yourself.
I-I-I've earned my way on your team.
You owe me.
Tonight, I'll text you the details.
And, Aria, wear the uniform.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (KEYBOARD CLACKING) (BEEPING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (COMPUTER BEEPS) (POP MUSIC) Hey, are you alright? Yeah, I'm fine.
My childhood teddy bear is now in jail with my phone and my favorite pillow, but - Hanna? - I'm fine.
The police seem to think that you're all involved in disappearance of that imposter Alison Merrit.
Is that true? - Detective Furey - Mom.
Just tell me.
I have never seen you like this.
What're you talking about? I'm always trying to help you.
Yeah, but you're never so quick to think that I need it.
Okay.
Do you need it? Yes.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) But I'm not gonna let you give it to me.
What? Why? Mom, you've spent your whole life helping me.
Doing things you shouldn't have had to do.
Because I love you.
And now it's time for me to show you how much I love you by not letting you get involved.
(DOOR OPENS) Hey, did your mom find you? I could have climbed through a window and she would have found me.
Hey, she gave us a room to hang out in until we can go back to our houses.
Yeah, I know.
Probably thought I'd feel bad about getting a free suite.
The world's upside down.
Speaking of which I got us all these until we get our real phones back.
This makes me really want to go to jail.
What're we doing to stay out of jail? - Has anyone heard from Aria? - No.
'Cause she doesn't have one of these.
Okay, guys, I know we all woke up early and we're cranky, but let's stay focused.
I'm as freaked out as the rest of you.
Maybe even more, considering it looks like A.
D.
was watching Ali and me sleep last night.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Wait, so are you two Well, about time.
So, I've been thinking.
The game has to connect to the Internet and it does that with an IP address which is like a phone number.
I'm writing a program right now to search the cell towers in Rosewood.
When the game connects, I might be able to find his location.
No wonder they call you "Too genius, too furious.
" No one calls me that.
(ALL CHUCKLE) Wait, we ordered food? Yeah, before we realized that none of us was hungry.
Oh, my God.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Is that the same one from the game? I think so.
"Just one plea, the rest go free.
If no one steps up, you all go down.
" SPENCER: I don't understand.
(BEEPING) He wants us to choose one of us to go to jail.
Or we all go.
(DOOR OPENS) If you want an explanation, you might try asking Aria.
Why would we ask Aria? I think she's on the A.
D.
team.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) Explain.
Well First there's the whole locker 214 fiasco.
Aria said she couldn't make it to the high school to see who picked up the hard drive.
That's because she was at the publicity event with Ezra.
Which she did not actually attend, so where was she? The trashing of your nursery happened at the exact same time.
Spencer, were any of us sitting in this room right now near your house when that recording of Mary Drake and your father was played? How do you know about that? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) No.
But Aria was.
Okay, guys, come on.
Aria would never do something like that.
I saw her get a puzzle piece in the brew.
It was hidden for her and she knew where to find it.
I also managed to access a portion of an unsettling phone call Aria had today.
With who? A.
D.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) ARIA ON RECORDING: I've earned my way on your team.
You owe me.
A.
D.
: Tonight, I'll text you the details.
I'm not happy about this.
Whether you choose to believe me or not Concrete proof.
Just remember you asked for it.
(BEEPING) Well, search warrants were served on multiple locations this morning.
No, ma'am, I can't tell you exactly when but from what I've seen so far it does indicate that we should be able to file charges within a week.
I will.
Thank you.
- Lieutenant Tanner.
- Yeah? - You need to see this.
- Okay.
Hm.
Where'd you find it? Shower drain.
There are traces of blood in there, too.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Hm.
Good work.
(INDISTINCT POP MUSIC) Spencer.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Oh, my God.
What're you doing here? Did something happen? Tanner happened.
She called me in for questioning.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- Um, how are you doing? - Um - I haven't seen you since - Yeah.
Thank you.
Some good days, some bad.
I'm, uh, I'm hanging in there.
How are you, how are you holding up? Just feels like there's There's so much noise that's coming from everywhere.
Mm-hmm.
But you know that's why I love being out at the cabin.
You couldn't find a noise out there if you tired.
You could join me if you'd like.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) So, um Tanner Uh Yeah, no, I, I tried to get a picture of what she was doing who she was talking to.
And? (SIGHS) It, it seems like she's building a solid case.
That she didn't share a lot, but she was acting encouraged.
Should I be worried? Did you have anything to do with Dunhill's murder? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (SIGHS) I have to go.
Where? It's probably better if you don't know.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Aria? W-what's goin' on? Nothing.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) You should probably get that.
Hey, yeah.
Wes.
What's goin' on? Look, can (DOOR SHUTS) (CRICKETS CHIRPING) (DOG BARKING) (LEAVES RUSTLING) (CELL PHONE BEEPS) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (RUSTLING) (INTENSE MUSIC) What are you doin' out here? I was, I was trying to meet A.
D.
Oh, my God.
Mona was right.
Mona? What has Mona have to do Were you in our nursery? Did you put the recording in Spencer's house? I mean, did A.
D.
ask you to do this and in return give you a puzzle piece? I can explain.
Aria, we literally caught you black-hooded.
Why would you do this for A.
D.
? Do you remember when we found out Ezra was writing a book about Alison and hid it from us, from me? (SIGHS) I did something to get back at him.
What? I filled out a police report that was accusing him of trying to take advantage of me.
I never filed it, but somehow A.
D.
got it and threatened to turn it in.
Ezra would have gone to jail.
So, what? It was just a no-brainer of you to pick Ezra over us? Guys, I didn't know what to do.
EMILY: You could have talked to us.
Okay? We're friends, since forever.
That's what we do.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Hello.
Do you know anything about "Choose or loose" or the timer? - No.
What are you - The game, Aria! (DRAMATIC MUSIC) A.
D.
never mentioned any of that.
You really have been talking to A.
D.
Spence, A.
D.
or A has been forcing us to make terrible choices.
Do you remember Malcolm? You kidnapped Ezra's kid to get to Toby.
I didn't end up hurting anybody.
Because of you, my parents are getting a divorce.
You have ruined everything that I ever had.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) We're done.
We're done and I'm out.
- Spencer - Don't try to change my mind.
I'm not trying to.
That was Tanner.
She wants us to come down to the police station.
You, too.
You can find your own ride.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Thank you for joining me.
I thought it might be helpful to discuss all of the evidence that our department has gathered into the investigation of the murder of Mr.
Archer Dunhill.
Piece of glass was retrieved from Ms.
Hasting's shower drain this morning.
A windshield fragment.
Interesting, since the car belonging to an acquaintance of yours, Lucas Gottesman recently had its windshield replaced.
Lots of cars get their windshields replaced.
But the piece of glass in question also matches a fragment found under the fingernails of the deceased, Mr.
Dunhill.
We're also analyzing your search history in your computers.
Honestly, it surprises me just how few people take advantage of the privacy settings.
- What else? - Excuse me? What else do you have? There's a quite a bit of Radley Hotel video from the night Mr.
Dunhill disappeared.
Did you know that they even have a camera in the elevator? We get it.
There's lots of evidence.
And there's probably more to come.
But the question is, why are you telling us this? I thought it was obvious.
I am giving you a chance to tell your side of the story before my side becomes the only side.
You were the one who rescued us five years ago.
That's because you wouldn't tell me the truth and you ended up in an underground bunker.
So why don't you let me help you now? Are we done here? For now.
Mm-hmm.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) You're free to go home.
Hope you get a good night's sleep.
(KEYPAD BEEPING) (RINGING) - You disappointed me.
- I disappointed you? A.
D.
: I agreed to meet you, but you weren't careful.
And look what happened.
I don't like sloppiness on my team.
Yeah, I don't like being lied to.
You were never gonna meet me, were you? You just wanted to blow my cover and blow up all of our lives.
Well, congratulations, you did it.
- You must be really proud.
- Aria You got me to turn against almost every single person that I love.
And all I have to show for it is the cop's on my ass.
I've done everything you asked me to do.
- You've given me nothing.
- I gave you the file.
The file's done.
So am I.
A.
D.
: Our relationship is not over until I say it is.
(BEEPING) - Don't.
- Why? Because tomorrow is another day.
Tomorrow? What happens tomorrow? Wait for it.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Time is stupid.
That's my favorite thing you've ever said.
How is it that after everything we've been through one or all of us is about to go to jail? This time around, it is kinda special.
I mean we did kill a guy.
Did anyone notice anything different about Mona this morning? She's Mona.
Different's in her job description.
Yeah, I guess.
(CELL PHONE BUZZING) "Twenty four hours left.
Pick just one or you're all done.
" (BEEPING) (SIGHS) At least, he's consistent.
Yeah, well, there's no way that's gonna happen.
Maybe there is.
I was driving.
I'm the one who killed him.
If I turn myself in, then you guys are safe.
No.
I'm the person who should turn themselves in.
If I hadn't have used the wrong credit card at this bar, then we would all be in the clear.
None of this would have happened if I hadn't married whatever his name was.
You guys, see what's happening here, right? I mean, this is why A.
D's torturing us.
This is exactly what they wanted all along.
Us breaking apart.
I mean, they already succeeded with Aria.
Whether we pushed her out or she did herself she's gone.
Aria definitely did it to herself.
Okay, but if A.
D.
hadn't gotten Aria to do what she did they'd have found a way to force another one of us, too.
I mean, you should know that better than anyone else.
Meaning what? Meaning that A.
D.
convinced you to play the game first.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Where are you going? I have some thinking to do.
I guess we all do.
(BEEPING) Caleb.
- Yeah.
- Can we talk? Always.
I need to know what's going on with Hanna.
You know, don't you? (SIGHS) If Hanna doesn't want you to know I know this is about the death of Dunhill.
Is Hanna covering for someone? - Actually - Is it Alison? She's always at the bottom of everything.
Is that who Hanna's covering for? HANNA: I cannot believe that you told my mom.
It's called the truth.
I think it's something, we all need to become a little more familiar with.
Hmm.
Yeah, easy for you to say.
Hey.
We're in this together.
That's why I told your mom.
Are you really gonna try and weasel your way out of this by saying you love me? - Well, will it work? - It might.
I love you.
Damn, you're good.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Alright, break time's over.
Are you any closer to finding the game? Well, there is no close.
I either find the location or I've got nothing.
So far, nothing.
Do you remember when these used to be our phones? Like, a million years ago? (EXHALES) There was so much less to worry about.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) I'm really sorry that I involved you in this mess.
Which mess, in particular? All of it.
(SIGHS) May be we should have never told you about the night that Dunhill died, and I shouldn't have asked you help me trash his credit card receipts.
But you did.
ARIA: Spencer, what are you doing here? SPENCER: I found this in the barn.
And it made me think.
Spencer, I'm so sorry.
I know you are.
And I wish that I could forgive you, but I might have misjudged you.
Tell me what I need to do.
- Please.
- Nothing.
Not now.
You've done enough.
But what you said last night about me taking Malcolm, you were right.
None of us is blameless.
So I do want to say that I'm sorry (KNOCKING ON DOOR) (INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) What's going on? Your friend's getting her belongings back.
- What? - Why? I just received proof that you were not in Rosewood on the night that Dunhill disappeared.
A red-light cam caught you full-frontal in Keene, New Hampshire.
Now, that is more than 300 miles away.
I do not know what you were doing in New Hampshire but I guess that's none of my business anymore.
Too bad you're not as lucky as your friend.
I'll see you tomorrow.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Spence (EXHALES DEEPLY) (EXHALES) What's going on? We need to talk.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) What are you trying to tell me? I'm trying to tell you I knew about it.
- You knew about the file? - Yeah.
And I figured that's what you're shredding.
After the cops left, I took the shredder bag and I dumped it in the composter just to be on the safe side.
How did you know? The other night, after you fell asleep I found it I'm so sorry.
I was so angry when I wrote that.
I know.
And, and you should have been angry.
The the book I was writing about Alison where we met, and-and I started I started this relationship by lying to you.
I wouldn't have blamed you if you had turned in that file then or now.
I would have deserved it.
- And maybe I still do.
- No.
No, you do not.
Okay? I was scared.
(MUSIC CONTINUES) (SIGHS) And I've done some really terrible things to you and everyone else.
You don't need to tell me that.
Yes, I do! I do.
I have to tell you everything.
But I need to do one thing first because I'm not sure you'll still be here when I'm done.
Okay.
What's (MUSIC CONTINUES) What exactly are we doing here? I hate you.
(CHUCKLES) I know.
I even got these.
Someday, maybe we can afford nicer ones.
Maybe a nicer wedding.
No, it's perfect.
I just thought, with everything going on right now we should do this while we still can.
Plus, um You know, if we're married we, we can't testify against each other.
Oh, so it's a twofer.
Are you down? Absolutely.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) So, what are we supposed to do until tomorrow morning when Callie Johnson, justice of the peace comes to work? (ASHLEY SIGHS) Glad I'm not too late.
How did you know? Caleb told me.
He told me a lot of things.
- Like what? - The truth.
Most of which I am not happy about.
And tomorrow it's gonna be all hands on deck.
I've already got a call into a new lawyer and I But tonight I'm just gonna be happy that you have found a man who loves you and wants to protect you.
And I can't wait for him to be a part of our family.
Mom, you're gonna have to wait 12 hours.
Actually Never underestimate the power of mom.
Give me time.
I might even get your teddy bear paroled.
I still have no idea where we are going.
(LAUGHS) That's why it's called a surprise.
At least, we know here's giving me a chance to think.
You know, maybe we should get outta here.
- While we still can.
- Really? I don't know.
It could be an adventure.
Raising a child on our own.
Not knowin' anybody.
(SIGHS) My leaving, us escaping That was just a dream.
And Rosewood's a place where dreams go to die? No.
Not all of them.
I had a dream of us being here.
(EMILY GASPS) Oh, my God.
It's beautiful.
And if this is our last chance of freedom let's make the most of it.
- Spencer.
- Hi.
What are you doin' here? You invited me, remember? Oh, yeah, I guess I did.
- Now, come in.
- Thanks.
I figured that you'd be in Rosewood keeping tabs on Tanner's case.
No, what's going to happen is going to happen.
That doesn't sound like the Spencer I know.
A little surprise.
May I? Of course.
(SPENCER SIGHS) The whole drive up, I thought about just staying on the road.
Just following it someplace else.
And why didn't you? Hmm.
You know what it's like to be the outsider.
I do.
And when you move from friends and family Yeah, it's the worst.
I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
It always seems like we're saying goodbye.
(SCOFFS) Do you remember that kiss we shared? I do.
That was nice, wasn't it? (INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) And the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only Light we'll see No I won't be afraid No I won't be afraid As long as you stand by me So darling Stand By me Stand By me (INDISTINCT) If the sky we look upon Should tumble and fall And the mountain should crumble To the sea I won't cry I won't cry No I won't shed a tear Just as long as You stand by me And darling Stand By me Stand By me Stand By me Stand By me When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only Light we'll see No I won't be afraid I do.
I do.
Just as long As you stand By me (DOOR CLOSES) - Hey.
- Hey.
How much time is left? It's 3:59 a.
m.
So seconds.
We all agreed that we'd be here when the time ran down.
- And here we all are.
- Except Aria.
(SIGHS) I think that we should make a promise.
No matter what happens next no matter what each of us decides to do we swear that the rest of us will understand.
No one will be blamed for anything.
I swear.
Me, too.
I swear.
(BEEPING) (BUZZING) I'll tell you what our choice is.
(PHONE SHATTERS) (EXHALES) Why didn't we think of that earlier? - Okay, what now? - We're supposed to wait here? That's exactly what you should do.
Toby got a hit on the game's location.
He texted Ezra to meet me.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (DOOR OPENS) (DOOR SHUTS) (BEEPING) (RINGING) A.
D.
: Dark night of the soul, Aria? It was.
Yeah.
Until I realized something.
There's a way for me to get you out of my life.
- To end this.
All of this.
- Really? What's that? I'm gonna turn myself in.
I'll tell Tanner I killed Dunhill, the others go free.
It's a small price to pay for what I've done to my friends and as a bonus, I don't have to hear your miserable voice ever again.
Well, that's very noble of you.
But there's just one problem with your plan.
You're too late.
What are you talking about? You-you said that it was "Choose or lose.
" Time ran out, Aria.
The game is over.
And guess what? - You won.
- What? I don't Your grand prize, chosen especially for you is an unlimited supply of freedom.
Enjoy it wherever you want.
Perhaps, right where you are as things are going to get a little messy with your friends.
- Please, do not do this.
- It's done.
I hope you enjoyed the game, Aria.
I have.
I'm going to miss these calls.
- No! - Goodbye.
(EXPLODES) (CRACKLING) (SIGHS) Dammit! (PANTING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (INTENSE MUSIC) Take the next left.
Pull over.
- Here? - Pull over.
This is it.
The location of the cell tower that the gamer's been using to communicate.
Where are we? Mona lives a block away.
(BEEPING) (PHONE RINGING) AUTOMATED MESSAGE: You've reached Spencer.
Please, leave a message.
Spence, I'm on my way to you right now.
If you will still take me.
Look, I know that things are royally messed up right now and I know that it's my fault, but I-I think I have an idea of how we can make things right again, so, please, just let me try.
(SIGHS) (MUFFLED THUD) (ENGINE REVVING) (RUMBLING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (GASPING) (INTENSE MUSIC) (SIREN WAILING) (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) (BEEPING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) It's warm.
