Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 1, Episode 19 - A Person of Interest - full transcript

After a shocking revelation from the police, it looks like the liars could be crying wolf. With everything pointing to Ian, could the girls be wrong?

Don't tell.

Hanna:
I'm in the shower, mom.

Ashley: All right,
see you at dinner.

Want to share
a towel too?

Toby: 2-1-4.

Could be anything--
a house number,

An area code.

We have to figure it out,
for both our sakes.

I would like to compose
some music for the play.

Sure. That'd be great.

I didn't even know
they knew each other.



What is that?

What did he just give her?

You know you want
to kiss me.

Come closer.
Oh, my god!

Is that...
Blood?

You think that's what ian
used to kill alison?

Which one of you
found the trophy?

It's not human blood.
Why would there--?

Let's save our questions
for the precinct.
Follow me.

The video was sent to us
by an anonymous source.

Probably the same person
who sent it to you.

It was loaded
onto spencer's laptop.

This time we saw
who alison was talking to.

It was ian.



He told her to come closer...

And she did.

Ian and alison
were together

The weekend before
she went missing.

Spencer called hilton head.

It was spencer...

Who talked to
the desk clerk.

Ian lied to spencer.

He stayed at hilton head
last summer.

This is what
I don't understand--

Ian was a star athlete,
right?

Popular guy,
dating a beautiful
woman like your sister.

You really think he would
risk all that to be
with alison?

She was barely 15.

Well, maybe he has
a thing for younger girls.

Why would you say that?

I don't know.

Were there other
younger girls he was
interested in?

Not that I know of.

No.
No.

No one but alison.

You'll be available
for more questions?

Of course.
The girls have
nothing to hide.

Pam just stepped out
to call wayne.

Are they being charged
with something--

Conspiracy to commit
an honest mistake?

Sorry.

Haven't they been
through enough?

The girls are free to go.

I'm still trying
to process this.

It appears our daughters

Have been the victims
of a cruel joke.

Whoever said "the truth
will set you free"
never met "a."

Jesus.

It's from the bible.
Jesus said it.

Then aria's right,

Because that bitch
is going straight to hell.

I wasn't completely
honest in there.

I should have been,
but my mom was right
next to me,

And with the whole
wren thing,

I couldn't
bring myself to say

That I also hooked up
with ian.

That has nothing
to do with this.

I lied about it too,
spence.

You know, sometimes
telling the truth does
more harm than good.

Who said that?

Alison.

Hey, emily.
Garrett?

You're a cop now?

Look, uh, sorry they're
putting you through this.

Officer reynolds.

Probably wants
a refill on his coffee
and another jelly donut.

He looks good
in a uniform.

Sir?
You know those girls?

My parents lived
down the street
from emily fields,

So we
used to be neighbors.

You think they're
telling the truth?

Uh... I don't know
why they would lie, sir.

Neither do I.

But you're gonna
help me find out.

Sir?

Unless you'd rather
be writing parking tickets.

Hey.

Did you get some sleep?

A little.

Yeah, we all needed
a night to settle down and...

Rethink this.

Have you...
Talked to melissa?

Yeah.

Yeah, we talked
to melissa and ian.

They... Weren't
that surprised.

In hindsight, your
sister saw it coming...

And we should have too.

Saw what coming?

We should have insisted
that you see someone

After they found alison.

We're not blaming you,
we're blaming ourselves.

Like-- like a shrink?

Dad?

Look, you--
you told the police
everything you know.

So while they're
doing their job,

We just think you
should see a therapist,

Talk about how you feel.

I-I feel scared.

Okay?

I feel scared every day
that he's here.

Please, there's
nothing wrong with me.

I hope you get
the help you need.

Spencer, I want you to know
I'm not angry with you.

I'm... Confused,
but I'm not mad.

What I don't understand is
why you came back to rosewood.

You got away with it.

You're sick.
Melissa.

That's how I deal
with this, dad.

I have to believe
you're ill.

If you had
just stayed away,

No one
ever would have known.

Veronica: Now,
that's enough.

The trophy wasn't real,

But that doesn't mean
that he didn't do it.

Oh, my god,
do you hear yourself?

I'm just making things
worse by being here.

Spencer, I meant
what I said.

Why can't you just
let me be happy?

This isn't about you!
You're right.

Like always,
it's about you.

Look, I know what
this must look like, and...

No.

Honey,
I don't think you do.

I forgot my bag
here last night.

Have you been
swimming at nights

Because you know
I'm here in the mornings?

It's just kind of
worked out that way.

Ahem. I left you
a couple of messages.

I went to visit my aunt.

She's old and sick.

I thought maybe
you were avoiding me.

No. I just...

No.

Okay, this is
beyond awkward.

Can we please talk
about what happened?

There's nothing
to talk about.

You kissed me,
remember?

Emily, just drop it.

So you want to pretend
like it didn't happen?

Yes. Please.

Consider it forgotten.

Are you sure that
you want to stay here?

I can't handle
another fight with jenna,

I don't want to go home
until my parents get back,

And I don't think
your parents are gonna
offer me the guest room.

It's my fault she's making
your life so miserable.

I didn't have
to take her phone.

How does she
know it was you?

She doesn't.
But with jenna,

Suspicion is enough.

I really am sorry.
That's okay.

My folks'll be back
on Monday,

And they're usually
a decent buffer.

You never talk
about your parents.

Neither do you.

Yeah, well...

The house of hastings
isn't exactly

My safe place to land
right now, either.

Spencer...

If jenna has anything to do
with you being framed,

I'll do whatever I can
to help you.

Thank you.

Enjoy your shower.

I intend to.

Morning.

Thanks.

Okay, pebbles or puffs?

Uh... Surprise me.

That tickles.

Really?

You're not laughing.

Hanna?

My ass just fell
into the toilet for
the second time this week.

You know, I was
cleaning yesterday.

I forgot to put
the seat back down.

Uh-huh.

Sorry.

Expecting company?

No.

Was he here last night?

Upstairs,
in the no-boy zone?

Nope.

Don't lie to me, hanna.

I know what you think
of him, and he does too.

That's why he doesn't
hang around here anymore.

Okay, he came over
a few times,

But it was to help me
with my homework.

Right. I know
boys like caleb.

He's a tough guy,
so you think you're
safe with him,

But you're not.

Caleb is looking out
for caleb.

You may know guys
like caleb,

But you don't know him.

That was close.

It was too close.
You should take this to go.

What are you still
doing here?
Forgot something.

What?

Always comfortable.
I-I can come back later,
if you're busy.Upt.

I was just leaving.

Thank you again
for your help, mr. Fitz.

Absolutely, jenna.

He's all yours.

Jenna is
submitting a short story
to a competition.

Oh, I... Thought
music was her thing.

I think she's got
a shot at winning.

So, um, tonight
I was thinking

That I would cook
instead of takeout.

Sure. I've got
a faculty thing at four,

And I promised jenna
another round of notes.

What's her... Story about?

Exposing people.
The protagonist is blind,

But she "sees"
more than sighted people.

So it's about her?
She says it's fiction...

But it begins on the night
of an accident,

And her brother is
responsible for it.

Was it really
toby's fault?

He-- he set fire
to the garage,

But he didn't know
jenna was inside.

Her story suggests that
it wasn't an accident.

I wouldn't know.

Hm.

I can't believe
that this is happening.

Do you want us to talk
to them for you?

No.
Who?

Spencer's parents
think she's nuts.

Unstable.

And why should they
believe me?

I mean, we have no proof.

I'm the girl
who cried wolf.

And the wolf is living
in your backyard.

Right, which is why I need
to get into room 214.

Spencer thinks
jenna has a room

At the edgewood motor court.

Did you say 214?

And I saw the bag
that ian gave her.
It's in the room.

I think we need to take
a break from playing
charlie's angels.

I don't want to spend
another night with
the rosewood p.D.

Spencer: Hey!

And there goes lucy liu.

Garrett,
can I talk to you
for a second?

Sure. What's up?

I know that most of
the evidence we have
on ian is weak.

"weak"? It's nonexistent.

You have to follow up
on hilton head.

I know that he was there.
I spoke to the clerk
myself.

I'm waiting for a manager
to call me back.

If ian was there
with alison, I'll find out.

Thank you.

Hey, spencer.

Yeah?

Why would ian want ali dead?

Because she was
going to tell melissa
about their affair.

I understand why you're
so fond of mr. Fitz.

He takes such a personal
interest in his students.

I feel like I can
tell him anything.

I was thinking of suggesting
he add orwell's 1984

To the reading list.

You know...

Big brother's
always watching you.

Mr. Fitz isn't seduced
by controlling characters.

You do know him better.

Scrabble.

Mad libs.

"bikes to die for,
babes to fight for."

Page 12.
It's a great read.

thanks.

And I downloaded this app
that turns my phone

Into a listening device.

That way, if anybody
goes next door,

We'll be able to hear
them through the wall.

Caffeine?

I think you've had enough.

Hey, did you just
come out of room 214?

Is there any way
that we can get in there?

Is it your room?

No, but we--

I've got work to do.
Wait, um...

For a 20...

Can we pretend
that he said yes?

Spencer, jenna's glasses.

This is her room.

The bag was on the bed.

Nothing.

So... What's it
gonna be first?

Mac and cheese
or fluff 'n' fold?

Mom.

What are you doing here?
I thought you were
working late.

It's time for you
to say goodbye, caleb.

No, he just got here.
You mean he just got back.

I found this in the basement.

I should go.
No, don't leave.

Excellent idea.
Mom, he stayed here
one night.

Really? Because the kitchen
cabinet fixed itself;

A week ago, our grocery
bill has tripled;

And I know you don't
carb-load for breakfast.

This isn't her fault.
Save it.

Just go.

Don't come back.

He had nowhere to go.

This isn't a halfway house.

Can't he just please
spend the night?

It's getting late,
and if he doesn't stay here,

He'll wind up
sleeping on a bench
at the bus station.

We don't lie
to each other, hanna.

Gps: You have arrived
at your destination.

Woman on pa: Hey,
don't forget to sign up

For your turn
at karaoke tonight.

do you come here a lot?

I didn't realize
it was so...

Rustic?

I found it online.

I thought it would be...

Remote.

You gonna finish
all my sentences?

Sorry.

That was a joke.

I think...
I was...

You go first.

You were right today.

I was avoiding you.

I scared myself
that night when I...
Kissed me?

There you go again.

The first time
I saw you with maya,

When I realized
you were together...

I finally
admitted to myself
that I was like you.

Am I the first girl
you've kissed?

Romantic, huh?

Definitely
you surprised me.

So, was maya
your first girlfriend?

She was.

But she... Wasn't the first
girl I've ever kissed.

I was in love with alison.

Was she in love with you?

No.

I didn't know her well,
but...

She seemed like
a very dynamic person.

She was that.

Maya was kind of
like that too, right?

Yeah, I...
Guess I like...

Ballsy women.

Welcome home, honey.

Wow.

Hi.

Are we celebrating
something I'm not aware of?

No.

You're wearing this dress
because...?

Because I just...
Wanted to hear you say wow.

I like coming home to you.

Sorry I'm late.

Things with jenna took
longer than I thought.

I can't stop thinking
about her story.

Cheese ball?
Sure.

Her story is so raw,
which is surprising,

Coming from somebody
so guarded.

Was she always like that?

We were never that close.

Can't imagine what
her life must be like.

How does a family just
get over something like that?

they don't.

Can we just talk
about something else?

Yeah.
Dinner's almost ready.

You sure I can't
help you with that?

It's actually easier
if I do it myself.

Owls do that
when they dive for prey.

Okay, I think I'd
feel safer on a bench
at the bus station.

I told you I'd spring
for a hotel.

And I said no, thank you.

All right, jungle jane,
what gives?

What do you mean?

You're the queen of heels
and handbags,

But out here
you're dora the explorer.

You have any other
personalities I should
know about?

I spent five summers
at fat camp.

You?

My nickname
was "hefty hanna."

You didn't
have to tell me that.

I want you to know
who I am.

I never met my father.

When I was 5,

My mom dropped me off
at my aunt's house
to go shopping.

She never came back.

When I was 10,
she sent me
a birthday card.

It said,
"happy birthday.
Love, mom."

That's it.

I should have been
pissed, right?

I was so happy
to get that card.

It was postmarked
from arizona.

That's the last place
I know she was.

"glyceraldehyde"?

With the "c"
on the double letter,

It is 32 points,

Plus the triple word score
gets me 96 points.

"goofball."

You can put down
104 points for me.

Thanks for the "g."
I've been waiting for it.

Eighteen points,

Times the triple word score,

Plus the 50-point
bingo bonus.

Well. 104 points.

Good for you.

I like this game.

I hope you don't
take this the wrong way,

But... You can't be
comfortable

In that jacket
and that tie.

I'm fine.

Top or bottom?

I'm just kidding.

Anybody interesting?

I haven't decided yet.

Maybe I can help.

I thought your saturdays
were saved for coffee
and cartoons with fitz.

Why are you avoiding him?

I'm not exactly avoiding him.

He's called you three times
since you've been here.

Okay, I'm avoiding him.

He's... Helping jenna
with this thing,

And he keeps asking
questions about her.

"was it really toby's fault?

Can you imagine how hard
her life must be?"

I mean... Oh, my god!

So what do you say?

I lie.
Over and over again.

Do you want
to tell him the truth?

Doesn't matter.
We made a promise.

So you want to?

I feel like I need to.

Then you don't
have a choice.

I don't know
about spencer or hanna,

But... If you trust him,
I do too.

Hey.

Have you been up all night?

Mnh-mnh.

"you're getting colder."

What?

Who is "a"?

I-I have no idea.

I love this band.

Me too.

They're playing
in the city next month.
We should go and see 'em.

I'd like to, but, you know...

What?

We might see people
we know there.

I can't risk
being seen with you.

I thought you understood.

I so understand.
Believe me, I do.

But hearing you say that...

Ouch.

I didn't mean
to hurt your feelings.

I had an amazing time
last night.

And I would really like
to keep seeing you.

Like this?

Always in the middle
of nowhere, hiding?

It's the only way
I can do it.

I'm not ashamed
of who I am...

But I used to be,

And if we have to hide
like this all the time,

I'm gonna start to feel
that way again.

I really like you, emily.

I like you too.

And I'll always be here
for you.

But I think it has
to be as friends.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

I've been leaving you
messages all morning.

I know.

I've been avoiding you.

Why?

What's going on, aria?

You're starting
to scare me.

I've been walking
around your block
the past two hours,

Trying to talk myself
out of what I'm
about to tell you,

Because
I know if I do...

There's a chance
that you'll never look
at me the same again.

Aria.

You still haven't
heard anything?

Please let me know
the second that you do.

Where have you been?
With caleb.

Sleeping on a bus bench?

We camped out.

Don't ever do that again.

I have been up all night
looking for you,

Scared to death of what
might have happened to you--

Where do you think
you're going?

I'm going to shower,
and then I'm changing,
and then I'm going back.

No, you're not!
You know, I don't get you!

You of all people
should understand
his situation.

You were lucky enough
to get out of yours.

Or have you forgotten?

Caleb.

Hanna?

No. This is her mother.

If it gets
too uncomfortable at home,

I'm here for one more night.

You can always come back.

I might actually
take you up on that.

I'm sorry this was a bust.

It wasn't...
A complete wash.

To be honest...

It was really fun
to kick your ass
at scrabble.

I was...
Not expecting that.

Me neither.

Hey, it was not
a complete ass-kicking,
by the way.

Goodbye, spencer.

Thanks for letting me
come to dinner.

Did it for hanna,
not you.

I know.

Uh, is it okay
if I grab a soda?

Help yourself.

You have been
for weeks, right?

You can stay here.

For a short time,
in the guest room.

But if you even think
about hurting my daughter,

I will make sure
you regret it.

I believe you.

Thank you.

I try not to look back,
but...

If there's anything
that I could change
in my life,

It would be that night.

Hey.

I love you.

And nothing you just said
to me changes that.

Thank you
for looking at me tonight

The same way
you did yesterday.

I'll see you in the morning.

Sleep tight.

Good night, mrs. Marin.

You can call me ashley.

I can't do this anymore.

It's over.

I'm out.

Why is there a police car
in the driveway?

Did they talk to ian?

Did they find out that he was
at hilton head with ali?

No.

Because he wasn't
with alison, he was with me.

He lied to protect me.

I was pregnant
that summer, and...

We went there
to get an abortion.

I lost the baby
before we went
to the doctor.

That's why this baby
is so important to me.

Veronica:
Oh, spencer.

We're trying to help you,
but you need to start being
completely honest with us.

Police are waiting
in the living room.

They know you lied to them.

Honey, they know that
you were seeing ian.

Voice: Yeah.

What's going on in there?

Did she send
anything else?

Just the S.O.S.

"breaking news, bitches.

"spencer hastings
now a person of interest...

"...In my death.

All: 'a.'"
