Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 1, Episode 16 - Je Suis Une Amie - full transcript

Emily and Paige are pitted against each other in the big race; Caleb calls in his favor with a guilty Hanna; Spencer takes on the task of tutoring a fellow student to get answers.

Previously on Pretty Little Liars.

Aren't you both going to the museum thing?

Spencer got the tickets for me and Ezra.

Please, just don't go tonight, okay? I
have a bad feeling about this date.

I think that bad feeling is called jealousy.

They had a big opening
at the Philadelphia art museum.

You went last night?

- Why is he out of jail?
- He's out on bail.

Why don't you save us the
cost of a trial and drop dead!

You'll have to do more than break
records if you wanna become team captain.

Who said I wanted to become captain?



- What the hell?!
- I take care of things myself.

You remember that phony
your sister used to date?

- Ian Thomas?
- We partied that whole summer.

- He's the poster boy for preppy.
- Convincing, isn't he?

So, you wanna give it back to your
teacher, or put it on your charm bracelet?

- What is that? - It's what stopped Mrs.
Montgomery from getting to Philly.

- Who's this from?
- Paige.

She's trying to bribe her way to
becoming the next team captain.

Do you think they're
from the same place?

These two were purchased
by Spencer Hastings.

Does that help, dear?

Ah, so it's just gonna be
you and your brother tonight,

and he wants to order in
from sausage heaven.

Again? Seriously?



Dad, the closest thing they have
to a vegetable is a paper plate.

Listen, just tell Mike that
it's your night to pick, okay?

So, you're definitely not eating with us?

Uh, no, no. I've got this thing.

And it's with the head of the
department, and dinner's included, so...

Have a great day, sweetheart. Yeah.

Oh, hey, dad...

I need your pledge for the dance
marathon. The deadline's today.

Oh. Oh, right, that's right. Uh,
my checkbook is in my jacket in the hall.

You find it?

What? Uhm, yeah.

- Great.
- Dad, what's this?

Well, that's a ticket, uh, for the museum.

Is it yours?

No, no, it's, uh...
It's your mother's.

Uh, her car broke down, and she
needed to borrow mine to get there.

I mean, I think so.

You know, actually...

You should really just talk to your
mom about that. Here you go.

Thanks.

Is my chemistry book over there?

Uh, I don't see it.

It's probably in the room,
Spence; not the front yard.

What happened to the Cavanaughs'
mailbox? Somebody hit it?

It's not the first time. And
I'm sure it wasn't an accident.

Everytime I come home, Toby's out
there cleaning up some new mess.

- And please, don't say he deserves it.
- I wasn't gonna say that.

Is that it?

Thanks.

Do you still think that
somebody framed him?

Toby? Do we really wanna
have this fight right now?

I have to save up some of
my energy for swim practice.

We're not on different sides anymore, Em.

I mean, I know what it feels like
to have somebody say

that you did something
when you know that you didn't.

Are you talking
about the bracelets?

I'd never seen that
bead lady before that day,

and yet she had my name written
down on two sales receipts.

We should go. We're gonna be late.

I owe you an apology. Seriously.

You believed that he was innocent from
day one, and I jumped down your throat.

I said some really
heinous things about Toby.

You should apologize to him, not me.

Hey.

- Hey! Cute boots. New?
- Oh, ish.

What is with this line?

All the vending machines are on lockdown.

Someone's been breaking into them
after hours and stealing food.

I heard this one kid say the
alarm went off at like 3:00 am.

- Wait, the vending machines have alarms?
- 'Kay... School.

Someone's been sneaking out of the
building in the middle of the night.

Which makes zero sense. Who'd wanna
be here any longer than they have to?

Mm, well, I might. Going
home just got scary.

This was in my dad's coat.

He said it's my mom's, but I'm starting to
wonder if he was at the museum too.

Your dad? No.

Why was he so twitchy when I asked?

I mean, if they both were there
the same night as me and Ezra...

Aria, you're just on a loop.

- It was a coincidence.
- Is it?

Han, come on, you don't think it's weird
that my mom had a ticket the same night?

Yes, a weird coincidence.

Uhm... Can you get my
coffee? I'll be right back.

We need to talk.

You know that thing you did
with Mrs. Montgomery's car?

Well, just pretend like it
never happened, okay?

Don't talk about it, don't blog
about it, don't tweet about it. Clear?

- Can I speak now?
- Okay, if you must, but it's really annoying.

- The way I see it, you owe me.
- For what?

For doing that thing that I can't
talk, blog, or tweet about.

Pretty Little Liars 1x16 - Je Suis Une Amie

It was there a second watch?
Was anyone else keeping time?

It was a tie, Paige. You and Emily tied.

So what's gonna happen? Who
gets to anchor tomorrow?

Can't make that decision yet.
All right, listen up, sharks!

We'll meet tomorrow morning. Same place,
same time. And have ourselves a little swim-off.

So, I guess we'll just
figure this out tomorrow.

You figure it out. I need to win.

- Aria. Hi, sweety.
- Hey, mom.

Your ears must've been burning.

- Why? - I was just talking to the
principal about you and Mr. Fitz.

Why?

Well, he wants to take your class
to New York to see the Fitzgerald show,

but the principal told
him there was no money.

Do you wanna walk with me?

- Sure.
- What's up?

So, dad wrote me a check this
morning for the dance marathon.

Okay.

And when I got to his checkbook, I found
the ticket that was yours to the museum.

I guess it was in dad's car. You...
You didn't mention you borrowed his car.

Oh, no, well, I didn't think I had to.

Why? Did you have it
on reserve for the night?

No, I'm... I'm just confused. Did
you go to that exhibit or not?

Well, to be perfectly honest, no.

I skipped it, and I went out to
a really nice dinner instead.

- By yourself?
- No, uh, I was with a friend.

I gotta get to class.
I'll see you later.

Are you reading that fast
or fanning yourself?

What? Uhm, sorry.

Where are you going?

Uhm, I left my lip gloss
in the history stack. Gotta find it.

- What do you want?
- I'm calling in your debt.

Two losers just bailed on what they owe
me, and I need some cash right now.

Okay, so what do you want me
to do? Bust their kneecaps?

I don't want an enforcer.

- I want a date.
- Okay, absolutely not.

You're the homecoming queen, Hanna.

You got a certain rep around here,
and I need to borrow some of your cred.

- And what are you gonna do with it?
- I need customers with money.

- Who need to know they can trust me.
- Yeah, well, they can't.

They can if I'm with you. So, you
got a hot party tomorrow night?

I have a swim meet.

- You can fit all of that under a cap?
- 'Kay, I'm not swimming, freak.

I'm cheering on a friend.

What is the point of a swim-off?

Why would the coach pit you
against each other before a meet?

She's using our combined times to choose
anchor; and right now, we're tied.

Well, you'll change that.

- Maybe not. She wants it more.
- Emily...

You want it more. And
it is okay to admit that.

You know who that's for, don't you?

Toby?

What are you doing?

- I might be interested.
- Spencer, don't. You can't.

Why not?

- Because you'd be going there
for the wrong reason. - Really?

Well, what if the same person who
gave my name to the bead lady

is the one who framed
Toby? What if that was 'A'?

Can't you find that out some
other way? Without asking him?

Who else knows what he knows, Emily?

- If I can get him to talk, then maybe...
- You won't even get him to look at you.

He doesn't trust us. He doesn't
trust anyone anymore.

Maybe, but if I have one piece of
the puzzle and he has another,

then we can put it together,
and maybe help each other.

Hey. You're a little early.

I just wanted to tell you I'm
not coming to practice today.

- Why not?
- I have another commitment.

You know, why don't you
come in. Close the door.

- I can't stay. I'm...
- No, come in.

What are you trying to pull here, Spencer?

Are you gonna tell your
parents you can't stand to be

on the same field with me
so you're quitting the team?

I'm not quitting the team. I
just have this other thing.

You can't avoid me.

- I live in your backyard.
- Well, this isn't about you. I'm...

Look, I'm too concentrated in athletics, and
it doesn't look good on my college applications,

so I just need to balance out my schedule.

- Knock-knock.
- Hey.

Sorry to interrupt.

I thought you had a marketing seminar.

The Professor cancelled.
I brought the tile samples.

- The contractor needs a decision.
- Oh, great.

Bye.

Yeah, I think your sister's
quitting the team.

- Why? - I'm not quitting the
team. I'm just doing some tutoring.

Well, anyone in particular?

Toby Cavanaugh.

- What?
- What?

I signed up to help him with his French.

I can't believe the school would let
anyone near him; especially alone.

- Why are you doing this?
- I already told you.

What is this really about? That kid
murdered one of your best friends.

Wait, don't tell me you're falling
for that silent martyr crap.

Okay, you can't believe
a thing that creep says.

Well, Toby Cavanaugh hasn't
cornered the market on lying.

I better go.

Hi. I noticed this was on the
ground as I was walking up.

Wait, I'm here to tutor you.

Someone from the school
called to tell you, didn't they?

- Why you?
- Because I'm an A.P. French.

And I volunteered.

Look, I have all your
assignments together,

and I worked out a schedule
for the rest of the semester.

If we meet for three times
a week, we can...

You can't come in.

- Jenna's home.
- Okay.

Well, is there somewhere else we can go?

I... I can't go somewhere else.

Well, will Jenna mind
if we sit out here on the porch?

Just don't think about
it. It'll make you crazy.

How am I supposed to not think
about it? It's too freaky.

- If my mom's car hadn't stalled...
- Well, it did.

Don't look a gift card in the
mouth. The universe gave you a pass.

That's not the universe I know.

Well, look, it all worked out,
okay? And that's what counts.

Maybe the universe got a
little help from someone.

- Someone with really good intentions.
- Shh.

That's great, I can pick you up.

I can find you in the
dark. I've done it before.

Okay, I'll see you soon. Bye.

Hey.

So, you're not going to that
department dinner anymore?

Oh, no, no.

- Was that mom you were talking to?
- Uh, no, no, no, it wasn't.

So, you sure you guys are gonna
be okay here alone tonight?

- Sure.
- Okay.

- Okay, look, Aria, even
if it wasn't the universe... - Shh.

I'm just saying if it's not
a coincidence, then maybe...

- Come on.
- Where are we going?

- To follow my dad.
- Where?

If I knew that, we wouldn't
have to follow him.

- Aria... - Han, my dad's about to have
dinner with somebody in the dark. Move it.

I...

I brought you something.

"L'attrape-coeurs."

The Heart Catcher?

It's Catcher in the Rye.

I guess there's no literal translation, but it
helps to read a book you already know in English.

- How do you know I've read it?
- I saw you once.

At the Apple Rose Grille. You were reading it.

What are you doing here?

Uh, Mr. Carinci wants you to review the
conditional tense and the workbook...

What do you want?

What makes you think
that I want something?

Because you never do
anything without a reason.

- Did Emily tell you that?
- Nobody had to tell me that.

I think maybe you're being framed.

What changed your mind?

I think somebody might be trying
to do the same thing to me.

Maybe the same person.

How's that feel?

Not good. Scary.

Why would somebody go after you?

What makes you so important?

I don't know.

Maybe you know something
you're not supposed to know.

Well, every time
I think I know something,

I get the rug pulled out from
under me, and I end up on my ass.

C'est dommage.

C'est la guerre.

I'm sorry.

For what I said about you.

And what I thought.

The sweater with Alison's blood...

You said that you
gave it to her that night.

I did.

And then she got into a car...

With some guy. I couldn't see who it was.

I'm not supposed to talk about this.

Do you know how the sweater
could've gotten back into your house?

Uh, I have to go.

- Thanks... for the book.
- Yeah, you're welcome.

What are your thoughts on
genetic modification?

Aren't scientists playing God?

How will it affect human health
in the long term?

So, I'm against it.

He's different.

- How? - I... I meant, he's different
than I thought he would be.

"How have humans altered the genomes
of species for thousands of years?"

Through artificial selection.

There's something about him that's...

I don't know.

Wow. A question Spencer
Hastings can't answer?

Interesting.

It's not that interesting.

- Am I finished with your homework?
- You are. Thank you.

I keep trying to find a connection.

To Toby?

To Alison and Toby.

Me and Toby.

We're pretty sure he didn't do it, right?

And yet somebody found a way to
make him look extremely guilty.

Spence, you can't figure all that out
sitting on his porch conjugating verbs.

Well, you don't know
what those verbs are.

If he didn't tell you the
first time, he probably can't.

Are you sure he even
wants you to come back?

Yeah, I think he does.

Why is my dad walking
into our high school?

Okay, weird.

Not really.

I mean, think about it. He's
probably just going to see your mom.

That's ridiculous.

People lie, Aria.

I mean, hello?

What are they doing?

Call your mother.

Right now, call your mom.

Hi, Aria, honey. I was
just thinking about you.

- Is everything okay?
- Yeah. Why wouldn't it be okay?

Well, I didn't mean to suggest
that everything wasn't okay.

I was just, you know, asking,
checking, wondering... like moms do.

Where are you?

Home.

Shh.
Where are you?

Home.

Okay, so everything's okay then?

- Yeah. - Okay, I'll talk to
you later, sweetie. Bye bye.

Bye.

Okay, well, she says she's home.

Do you believe her?

I don't know.

Okay, what are you doing?

That's not good.

- What? You used to like it.
- No, no, not that. This...

The lying, the sneaking
around. I feel like a teenager.

Yeah, it's fun, isn't it?

Listen, we should just tell the kids.

We can't. We can't tell them
until we know what this is.

Okay, I think I got
everything. Let's go.

Watch out for that.

Oh my God, my parents are
having an affair with each other.

Hanna. Hanna?

- What are you doing?
- Come up here.

Hurry.

What are you looking at?

This.

Someone sending a bunch of texts?

Spencer's laptop disappearing?

Our lockers broken into?

All this stuff happened
at school. This is 'A'.

Let's just get out of here. Come on.

- Hanna, you're taking that?
- Yes. 'A' owes me...

Hospital bills, pain and suffering,
tire marks on my cleavage.

It's... it's nothing. The lights
are probably on a timer.

We should go.

Come on!

Caleb?!

- How's your eye? Any better?
- It's still burning.

- You want a sharp stick for the other one?
- 'Kay, you know what? It was just hair spray.

It was light hold.

- What were you doing in there anyway?
- I'm sort of, uh...

I'm crashing here.

- You are? Why?
- What do you care?

Okay, you know what? Don't snap
at her like that. I have more.

Fire away. Just give me
my money back first.

I mean, where do your
parents think you are?

My foster parents don't care where I am.

As long as they keep getting their checks.

Wait, I thought all that stuff
about the social worker was a joke.

Believe me, my social worker is a
joke. But, yeah, I do have one.

- This is crazy. You can't keep
staying here. - Why?

There's hot water, vending machines...
The principal's couch is pretty comfortable.

Well, they knowm someone
was here last night.

Yeah. I got sloppy.

Where are you going?

Grab some dinner. Then back to bed.

You know your way out, right?

Paige?

Are you okay?

No.

What happened?

You have every reason to hate me.

I don't even know why I'm here.

I don't hate you.

I would.

I do.

Don't say that.

I'm sorry, Emily.

I just wanted you to know that.

Wait, Paige...

Good Morning, sharks.
How we all doing today?

- Ready to swim, coach!
- I'm sorry, I can't hear you!

- Ready to swim, coach!
- That's what I'm talking about!

All right!

It's our last practice before this afternoon's
big meet, so let's make it a good one.

Oh, Emily, there's not gonna be a swim-off.

I just got word that Paige
will not be joining us.

Why not?

She had an accident while
riding her bike last night.

She's just a little banged-up. She'll
be back swimming in no time.

Okay, ladies, in the
water. In the water! Come on!

You're late. Let's go in.

- Wait, can we talk about last night?
- What is there to talk about?

Uh... The fact that you're hiding out
in the AV closet until graduation?

What's your plan?

All right. Do you wanna play guidance
counselor, or do you wanna pay off your debt?

I'm cashing in on that favor.

Point out the kids
who have money to burn.

Fine, I'll trade you. One
name for one answer.

- Oh, hey, Bridget.
- Hey, Hanna.

- You know my friend Caleb, right?
- Sort of.

Hey.

Bridget Wu; total party girl.

Bring her a bottle of something strong,
and she's your new best friend.

Where are you from?

- A lot of places.
- Hey, I gave details.

Seattle, Salt Lake, Denver,
Chicago, and here. Your turn.

Lindsay Hoover. Don't let the Jesus
sandals fool you, she's got cash.

Her grandfather invented the stapler.

- Nice.
- Wanna get tight with her?

Grow a hipster stache and
start talking about "the man".

Why don't you report your foster parents?

To who? My social worker?

I've had four in the last six
months. They can't remember my name.

The last one called me Calvin.

When's the last time
you saw your real parents?

It's gonna take a lot more
than names to hear about them.

Truce. Got you a button.

- Thanks.
- No problem.

I need to be super rah-rah
now that I'm the coach's wife.

- It's a swim meet; it's not even his sport.
- And what's yours? Brother-in-law bashing?

- What's going on between you and Ian?
- Why don't you ask him?

Something wrong with that picture?

I see my husband buying us hot dogs.

And I see you going out
of your way to humiliate him.

What was that lying crack about? He does
nothing but try with you, Spencer.

- When are you gonna give him a break?
- Honestly?

When I figure out why he rushed back to
Rosewood and rushed into proposing to you.

No, you've got it wrong; I proposed.

I wanted to elope. You have a problem with
my marriage, you take it up with me, not him.

Well, him is the problem.

He's not been entirely honest with
you, and I'm worried about you.

About what?

You have to ask him about Alison. About what
happened the summer that she was killed.

You really are too much. Did Toby
Cavanaugh put that idea in your head?

Hey. Sorry I took so long, they were
out of the spicy mustard you like.

- Did I miss something, or...?
- No, we were just talking about Alison.

Ian, I'll meet you inside.

Okay.

Look, I've already lost one
relationship because of you.

You will not ruin my marriage too.

- Melissa.
- Coming.

When's Emily gonna jump in?

She's the anchor. She swims
last 'cause she's the fastest.

Hey, remind me, which one's
Lindsay and which one's Bridget?

Bridget's the one drinking from her purse.

- Thanks. I'll be right back.
- Come on, come on, come on!

Why are we sitting with Caleb?

- Why not? - Hanna, I like stray
dogs too, but sometimes they bite.

Okay, well, he's had his shots.

- Go, Emily!
- She's not swimming yet.

Uhm... You know what? I'm gonna
take the long way home.

- Okay, I'll see you later.
- Bye.

What's this?

My eviction notice.

Sorry.

- You know that I didn't tell anybody.
- I didn't go there.

Well, maybe it's for the best.

I mean, the place had small closets.

I hated that shirt anyway.

Consider your debt paid.

Have a good day.

- Hey, if you need a place to stay...
- No, thanks.

Your mom starts asking questions, someone
calls social services, and it's just a big mess.

Wait.

There's an old couch in my basement.

My mom will never know.

Hanna.
Hey, here you are.

You're not gonna believe
what this sick freak did now.

- What are you talking about?
- Look.

I mean, I have to say, 'A' is
smart; trying to pit us against each other.

- Yeah, Aria...
- I mean, it's relentless.

Every time we shut a door,
'A' kicks open a window.

I gave your mom the museum ticket.

What? Why would you do that?

'A' made me do it. 'A' has
something on me, and...

'A' has something on all of us, Hanna.

But there's nothing that 'A' would threaten
me with that would make me do that to you.

- You're supposed to be my best friend.
- I know.

And as soon as I put that ticket in your mom's
mailbox, I did everything I could to undo it.

- I mean, the reason your mom didn't get
to the museum... - Stop talking.

There's nothing you could say that
would change the way I feel right now.

You okay?

You didn't return any of my calls.

I'm fine.

It's nothing.

I didn't know what to say.

I was riding home on my bike
and totally wiped out.

- What were you thinking about?
- How easy thing's would be if I wiped out.

I'm kind of done with swimming.

- Yeah, I used to feel that way.
- Obviously you got over it.

How did you get over it?

I started swimming for myself.

I quit trying be better than everyone
on the team, and I just relaxed.

Sounds fun.

When's the last time you swam for fun?

- Hey.
- Hi.

I got your message but I didn't
totally understand.

This isn't going to work.

Here.

Take it back.

Toby, I came here because I thought
that we could help each other.

We can't.

Just take it and go.

Question.

What's up?

Uhm, the towels in the bathroom; are they
like the fancy people-are-coming-over towels?

No. No, you can use them.

I don't have to. I can shake off and air dry.

Please don't.

What's going on?

You want me to leave?

It's not about you.

Aria's really, really mad at me.

You know that thing I told you not to leak?

She found out anyway?

She's never gonna speak to me again.

You don't have to sit here and listen
to this. Just go take your shower.

It can wait.

- Good night.
- Wait, Spencer...

- Can we talk? About earlier?
- No.

- It's late, and I'm tired.
- I know about you and Ian.

He told me everything.

The thing you two had when we were
broken up. I can't hold that against you.

Did he tell you anything else
about that summer?

Whatever it is you're holding
onto, it's got to stop.

- I think he's dangerous.
- And I think you need help.

You keep wanting what I have.

You know what, Melissa?

Spencer, I don't wanna fight.

I realize that I lost my temper
earlier, and I'm sorry.

I've been a little hormonal lately,
and I guess I should tell you.

Tell me what?

We're pregnant.

This is where you say congratulations.

Good night, sis.

Learning French can be a fun activity for
families, friends, civic groups or clubs.

By listening to these
long-playing hi-fidelity records,

you can speak fluently
in as little as six weeks.

We're going to start with the french
verb "etre", which means "to be".

"Ready? Let's begin" "Pret? Commencons."

"Je suis" "I am"...
