Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 1, Episode 20 - Someone to Watch Over Me - full transcript

I'm not ashamed of who I am,
but I used to be, liars...

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

I'm gonna start to
feel that way again.

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

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

I found this in the basement.

Just go...
And don't come back.

Welcome home, honey.

Wow.

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

He takes such a personal
interest in his students.



Where have you been?
With caleb.

We camped out.

I figured out
what the message means.

It wasn't b-a-d,
it was the number 2-1-4.

Does that number
mean anything to you?
It could be anything.

We have to figure it out...
For both our sakes.

You can stay here
for a short time,
in the guest room.

Thank you.
I did it for hanna,
not you.

I can't do this anymore.

It's over. I'm out.

We're trying to help you,
but you need to start

Being completely honest
with us.

The police are waiting
in the living room.

They know you lied to them.



What's going on in there?
( cell phones beep )

"spencer hastings
now a person of interest...

"in my death.

All: 'a.'"

I feel like whole parts
of my brain have shut down.

I used to love algebra,
or at least I understood it.

And now it's a mess.

Well, it can get
really abstract.

Yeah, but that's what
I liked about it.

You know? X's, y's, z's--
none of it real.

I could deal with that.

You just isolate
the x factor.

And now I feel like
I'm the x factor.

Honey, where were you?

We stopped along the way
at emily's.
Now, don't worry,

I was expecting this.

It's mostly about
intimidation,

So I want you to stay calm.
Stay calm about what?

They served
a search warrant.

A search warrant?

For where? For what?

The house, the barn,
your room--

My room?

Spencer, don't interfere.

Honey.

Make them get out.

I can't.

Your a person of interest
in a murder investigation.

They're just doing their job.

In an especially
ham-fisted way.

What are they
looking for?

Things that connect you
to alison...

And what happened to her.

♪ got a secret,
can you keep it ♪

♪ swear this one
you'll save ♪

♪ better lock it
in your pocket ♪

♪ takin' this one
to the grave ♪

♪ if I show me
then I'll know you ♪

♪ won't tell what I said ♪

♪ 'cause two can
keep a secret ♪

♪ if one of them is dead ♪

And started going through
her things?

Let me call you back, em.

Okay, bye.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Hey, uh, listen,
your mom called.

She's gonna be
swinging by for coffee,

See if you guys
want a lift to school.

She's coming for coffee?

Yeah, that's right.

So the kitchen table exists
in another dimension

Where that
already happened?

I heard the door slam.

Was that mom,
or was that somebody else?

Uh, no. No, that was,
uh, your mom.

So she was already here
this morning.

Why does she have to leave
and fake coming back?

Because she wasn't just here
this morning,

She was here last night.

Mom was here all night?

Listen, when your brother
comes down,

We're gonna talk about this.

Wait. You snuck mom
into your room last night?

Technically, you cannot
sneak into your own house.

Oh. I'm gonna
remember that.
( door shuts )

Hey--
ella: Hey!

Did your dad
tell you I called?

I was just around the corner

So I thought
I'd take you to school.

Um, we're busted.

Oh.

You slept here
last night?

Uh, it just
sort of happened.

So...

You guys, you're--
you're getting back together?

We don't know.

N-no--we're trying
to figure that out.

You don't look surprised.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Nothing's wrong.

Ella:
We were just
talking about

How things might
change around here.

I don't need
any more of that.

No, your mom means
maybe change back.

We're thinking about
trying something.

You comin' back?

Well, I mean, that's something
that we need to discuss

As a family.

Well, how about dinner?

Mike and I could
make you guys dinner.

What do you think?

Sounds...Good.

Yeah, sounds good.

Hanna: Are you
going to school?

Okay. Later.

What happened?

The police were at
spencer's house.

They had
a search warrant.

Well, what are they
looking for?

Salt?

No, thanks.

So, you said the cops
were at spencer's house?

Good morning.

Morning.

Okay, caleb,

The second floor is all yours.

I'll grab a shower.

Fried eggs,
burned butter--

The kitchen hasn't smelled
like this in a long time.

Well, it's a good smell.
I like it.

Just don't let him
make you late to school.

I won't. He can
finish this on the way.

See you tonight.
Okay.

( door opens, shuts )

It's so pretty, hanna.
When did he give it to you?

He hasn't given it to me,
not yet. I found it.

And I wasn't looking for it,
but I found it,

And I took a picture,
and then I just put it back.

Why an owl?

It's symbolic.

Of what?

Of our first night

In the tent.

We heard owls.

Swooping down to
carry off their prey?

You cannot stop
the romance.

Owls and tents and s'mores
are all part of that night--

Every perfect minute of it.

Have you two had...
Another opportunity?

Not since he went
in the guest room,
but we do have plans.

Paige: Apples and spice?

Yeah, it's really good for you.
Healthy, which is nice.

When did that
start to happen?

( laughing )
yeah? That's awesome.
Are you captain?

Yeah.
Nice. Me too.

Oh, em. Don't worry about it.
It's totally cool.

I mean, the breakup
was way messy,
but sean's a good guy.

I mean, he should be happy.

Everybody should be
as happy as I am.

You know, maybe I should
practice my surprise face
when he gives it to me.

Hey. Are you okay?

Yeah, we didn't think
you were coming in today.

I have to be someplace
other than my house.

Are the cops still there?
They came and went.

They actually
took things?

Not so much. My mom says
they did it just to shake me up.

What'd they take?

Um, things from
my jewelry box,

Stuff from my closet,
a couple of pairs of shoes--

Wait. Not the tory burches.
Hanna.

No, sneakers.

They wanted my laptop,
but my mom said no,

It wasn't in the search warrant
and they couldn't have it.

Look, you guys should know
that there's a chance

That they might try to
pull this on you.

Search our rooms?

My mom says
it's a possibility.
I'm so sorry.

No--
it's not your fault.

Yeah. We know who's
responsible for this.

I should have known that
that trophy was
some kind of trap.

It's like I can hear "a"
laughing in my head.

Does "a" sound like jenna?

( cell phone beeps )

It's my mom.

She wants me to come home.

Walk me out, okay?
Sure.

Yeah, sure.

Aria, come on.
Just a second.

♪ I've gotta
a place to hide ♪

♪ get your suitcase,
I'll crawl inside ♪

♪ to see what could happen ♪

♪ what might happen
when we get close ♪

♪ we'll take the highway
till it dead-ends...♪

Hey, emily,
got a second?

I have to get all the way
over to the annex.

Can I walk you?
Sure.

I just want to ask you something.
Okay.

You're teammates with paige mccullers, right?
Right.

Is she seeing anybody?
'cause I like her, she's fun,

But I don't want anything
complicated right now.

I don't know, sean.
Paige isn't really my friend.

Oh. Oh, I get it.
I shouldn't be asking you.

Your hanna's friend.
I'm way out of line.

No, sean, that's okay.

Hanna saw you at the table
with paige.

She said you've got
every right to be happy.

She said that?

I think she meant it.
Wow.

As for paige,
we swim on the same team,

But I don't know her
that well.

Gotcha. Thanks.

So tell me, how long
have you known about
your father and me?

You told us this morning.

I guess I just sort of
had a feeling something was up.

And are you okay with that?

Yeah,
I'm beyond okay.

As long as it's what
you and dad want.

Well, this part
really isn't about us.

It's about you
and your brother.

We miss you. I miss you.

And I wish you could come home.

Hold that thought.

And by the way,
it's my experience

That you should always check
before you press "send."

I don't think
you meant this for me.

Mom. That--
that was a mistake.

I know.

Hey, I'm just happy
that through all of this

You can still
think about boys.

So who is it?

Somebody I know?

No, it's--
it's just somebody.

Really? It doesn't
seem like just somebody.

So, what color
are these amazing eyes?

I think I'm gonna have to
start looking in the hallways

To see if I can
guess who it is.

Don't.
Couple of more
slips like that text

And I'll know
all about him.

No more slips. Promise.

Well, that's too bad.

I was looking forward
to finding out more.

It's private right now.

Okay?

( beep )

Poof. Deleted.
All gone.

It's just everybody's
entitled to privacy.

If you and dad
can have secrets,
why can't I?

Okay.

♪ do you feel like you're
are you making it worse? ♪

♪ can you take any more? ♪

♪ are you gonna give me
what I'm askin' for? ♪

♪ what's the use in trusting
more than we have to... ♪

God, I'm glad to see you.

You've got a cop car
across from your house.

Where?
I didn't see it.
Detectives.

Trust me, I know every
stock sedan in town.

They used to rotate
in front of my house.

What's going on?

The police
searched my house.

They took things
from my room.

I'm a person of interest.

What do they think you did?

I think they think that...

They think that I--

They think you
hurt alison?

That's crazy.

Well, it's good to hear
somebody else say that.

You got any coffee made?

Yeah, always.

Paper cups?

Why paper cups?

You're going to take coffee

To those cops
watching your house.

Why am I going to do that?

So they'll know
you know they're out there

And you're not afraid of them.

Yeah, but I am
kind of afraid.

They don't know that.

Toby..

The car that you
saw alison get in
the night that she was killed--

I never saw the driver.
I told you.

I think the driver was ian.

You tell the cops
what you think?

Yeah, I told them.

And now I'm the little girl
who cried ian.

They think
you lied to them.

Big deal. People lie
to the cops all the time.

It's more than that.

It's a lot of things
that add up to make me look
really suspicious.

Maybe you should
keep away from me.

People cross the street
when they see me coming,

And they think you're trying
to frame your brother-in-law.

Who else are we
gonna hang out with?

Hey.
Hey!

I, uh, I saw you talking
to sean the other day.

Yeah. He's nice.
Nice.

He makes me laugh.

I know it might be
kind of weird,

You being friends with hanna
and hanna being his ex.

That's not really
the weird part, is it?

Sean asked me about you.

He wanted to know if
you were seeing anybody.

What'd you tell him?

I told him as far as I knew
you weren't.

I think he wanted me
to talk him up with you.

And I'm pretty sure
he's gonna ask you out.

He has.

And what'd you say?

I said yes.

It's not really a date.

We're going with
a bunch of other people.

No big.
Yeah.

You're nervous
about this dinner.

Yeah,
I guess I am.

Well,
the important thing is

We'll get past
all the sneaking around,

Which, by the way,
we were not that clever,

Because aria knew.
What? When?

I don't know,
but she did.

She ends up with
all of our secrets.

And now she wants
one of her own.

What do you mean?
Some new romance.

I found out about it
accidentally,

And I teased her,
which apparently was
the wrong thing to do.

Who's the boy?
I don't know.

She wants to
keep it a secret for now,
which I completely understand.

Is it somebody at school?
Probably.

Aren't you interested
in who she's dating?

Of course I am.

And when she's ready,
she'll tell us.

What?
What is that look?

It's the look of somebody who
just had to pick up his daughter

After she'd been questioned
by the police.

And you had
the same look.

She didn't do
anything wrong.

I'm just saying
we need to be a little bit
more diligent about this.

Yes, but diligent
doesn't mean grilling her

About every text
she sends to a boy.

We have to trust her.

Well, it's not aria
I don't trust.

It's the rest of the world.

You know what I mean.

I think I do.

Just hold onto this stuff
for me, okay?

You didn't mention ezra's name
in the text, did you?

No, no.
But what if I had?

I mean, if I had made
one wrong detail in that text,

My mom would have
figured it out

And everything
would have blown up--
forever.

Fresh manicures
and tiny keyboards--
a deadly combination.

Our first coffee together.

The night that
he read his short story.

Okay, I'll give you
a catalogue later.

Just...Put this stuff
in your locker.

Don't worry.
Thanks.

Caleb (distant):
Hey, stop. Listen--

Look at this way--
we both made a mistake.

No, I can't do it
tonight.

I know what I said,
but it's different now.

First of all, I don't think
she's who you say she is.

Don't call her that.

No. I can't do it tonight.

Because I say so.

Because I'm living in her
house and you keep calling--

It's gotta stop.

Okay, fine. Later.

Later.

You got it wrong.

We heard what we heard,
hanna.

No, you heard what you heard,
but you got it wrong.

He was talking
to another girl,

And there was
a lot of history.
You could tell.

What happened to being
all happy for hanna?

Where'd all that go?
We want you to be happy--

Then you shouldn't
tell me this,
because it's not true.

Not after we...

You just--
you heard wrong.

He could have been on the phone
with his foster parents
or something,

Or his social worker.
You don't know.

Okay, maybe we didn't
hear it right.

Hanna, we heard
what caleb said,

And you have to
know the truth.

I think he's with someone else
and hasn't told you.

No, caleb has
told me everything,

And I told him
everything.

Not everything,
but I told him
all about me.

And what you're saying,
it's not him.

It can't be.

Okay, guys,
maybe we are being
a little bit paranoid.

You know, with all
that's going on,

We're looking at things
too closely,

We're getting these details,
but can't see the big picture.

Guys.

( cane tapping on floor )

Caleb's not picking up.

She's gonna
send him a text.

What the hell
is going on?

Either it's exactly
what it looks like,

Which is bad enough,
or it's something worse.

Couldn't it just be
two pendants that look alike?

Dream on.

If caleb hurts hanna,
he's a dead man.

Not literally. I mean--

I gotta go.

Girl:
Impressive! Sean ackard.

Score for paige.

He asked me,
and I thought
it would be fun.

I thought he was gonna hibernate
for the rest of the year,

But you dragged him
out of the cave.

Nice work.

Emily:
Passing her information?

What kind of
information?

What was on
the flash drive?

I couldn't see,
but it could have
been anything.

Anything?

Anything from
hanna's computer,
I guess.

Caleb the hacker.

Is that who toby heard
jenna talking to

When she wrote down
the number?

Wait. 2-1-4 has to do
with caleb?

You know what
you're saying, right?

That jenna plus calab
equals "a."

No! He can't be
doing this.

Whatever it is,
it can't be this.
And it can't be her.

Hanna, no one
wants this to be true.

Has he called you back?
Not yet.

And nobody's seen him in school
since this morning.

You don't know what
this would mean if it's true.

Hanna, we do know.

Wait. Hanna--

Wait. Spence...Don't.

Two...

One...

Four.

Hanna: Money?

You did this for money?

She knew I was a hacker.
She asked me about her phone.

The phone you couldn't crack,
was that a lie too?

Jenna found out that
I did work on emily's phone.

She offered me cash
to make myself available
to you and listen.

I thought it was just
some generic bitchiness
with all the pretty girls.

Why shouldn't I
make a couple of bucks?
You are such a creep.

Wait.

Then she started
asking questions,

Questions that
I didn't like.

And by then...

Other things were happening...
With you and me.

You were spying on me
the whole time.

No, not the whole time.

You gave her
your locker combination!

That's how she gave me
the flash drive.

What was on it
when she got it back?

Junk. She thinks it's the log
off your cell phone,
but it's not.

No--

Don't touch me.

I'm sorry.

Why? You didn't
do anything.

I'm part of what
happened to her--

What's happening
to all of you.

It's the other way
around, toby.

We happened to you.

( music plays softly
in background )

What's it like
to run away?

Cold.

Didn't you ever
run away?

Once.
I think I was seven.

My sister and I had
an argument over something,

And my parents
took melissa's side.

What were you
fighting about?

Some great injustice
I can't remember now.

But they sided with her,

So I made
a tuna salad sandwich,
and I ran away.

And where did you go?

The movies.

It was something
animated.

There was a princess,
and everybody was singing.

Then I got lonely.

And I ate
my tuna salad sandwich

And I came home.

Were your parents worried?

They hadn't even noticed
I was gone.

Do me a favor.

What?

If you ever get the urge
to run away again...

Call me first, okay?

Okay.

Ella: Byron...

What are you doing?

I'm not doing anything.

If she finds out
you're spying on her,
she'll be furious.

I'm not spying.

I'm just standing in
our daughter's bedroom.

We agreed long ago
that we weren't gonna be

Those parents
that poke and pry.

Yeah, but what about
those parents who worry?

And what if something
happened to her?
How would you feel?

That's not fair.
Life isn't fair.

If she's keeping secrets,

It's because
she learned it from us.

Meaning what?

Meaning exactly
what I said.

If there are parts of her life
that she wants private,

It's because
we taught her to do that.

You mean I did.
I don't want to
talk about that.

Yeah, but it's still there,
isn't it?

Yeah. It is.

I thought
we were past that.

We're not past it.
We're trying to find
a way around it,

But we really haven't
dealt with it.

Okay, fine. Can we just
keep this about aria
and this unknown boy?

Can we do that?
I don't know, can we?

Is that really what
this argument is all about?
I'm not arguing.

Byron, you can't even agree
with me that we are fighting.

We're n--

Hey, mike.

Did you just get home?

I called her.
She didn't pick up.

Did she talk to you?

Radio silence.

Poor hanna.

Why do you think
jenna told caleb
to go after her?

Because she was the one
who wasn't seeing anybody.

Target of convenience.

( laughter )

I should just pick a boy,
someone nice,

And just tell my mom that
that's who I was texting.

That'd be
the simple solution.

There's nothing simple
about lying.

I didn't mean it like that.
I meant lying in general.

Okay.
If you say so.

You've got a good shot
at having the search warrant
thrown out.

Judge enwright is
a notorious rubber stamp,

And he probably
didn't even read it.

So...Whatever they find,
we can get tossed out.

Why are they
searching my room?

What makes me so special?

Police thinking
is like water.

It runs downhill and travels
the path of least resistence.

So when they found out that
you and ian were once involved,

You went to
the top of their list.

I could never hurt alison.

She made me furious
sometimes, but...

But I would never hurt her.

Honey, I know you didn't do
what they think you did.

You couldn't. We're gonna
get this behind us,

And then we're gonna figure out
a way to move ahead--

All of us, as a family.

Come downstairs?

In a little while.

Where were you
all morning?

Walking.

Just walking.

So it's true?

Yeah. It's all true.

Where's spencer?

Oh, she stayed home.

Come on.

Aria (whispers):
Hanna.

I just want to
talk to her.

Hello?

Yes?

This is hanna.

In case you couldn't guess.

What do you do to mom and dad?

I don't know what you talking about.

They were getting along,
and I came home

And find them
fighting in your room.
About what?

About some boy
they don't like.

Dump him.
Or just say you'll dump him.

It's not that simple.

Lie to them, okay?

You used to do it
all the time.

Tell them what
they want to know,

Even if you have to
make it up.

Hey, it's gonna be okay,
all right?

We're gonna go downstairs,
we're gonna have dinner,

We're gonna talk about
mom coming back,

And everything's
gonna go back to normal.

Okay?

It better.

Change of plans.

Your mom has called.
She's, uh, not feeling well.

Is she sick?

No, she's just
not up to it tonight.

We'll do it another time.
Soon.

Come on. Everything
smells so great

I can't wait to see what
you guys came up with.

( cell phone beeps )

Ian: You know, they were
worried about you.

They thought you
might have run away.

Thank you
for your concern.

I think I'd understand
if you did, though.

You know, run away.

You know what
I don't need, ian?

I don't need
your understanding.

Well, we're family.
We should act like one.

Family
protects itself.

I thought you
had to protect melissa
and your bundle of joy.

I do...
And I will.

But right now there's still
a window of protection
left open for you.

We just need to be
honest with each other.

You want to help me
run away, don't you?

Oh, that would be
great for you.

"she ran away,
she must be guilty."

If I disappeared,
that would just clean up
everything for you, wouldn't it?

Time's running out for you,
spencer.

You should take
the help that's offered--
wherever it comes from.

Because when they arrest you...

It'll be too late.

Nice room.

Thanks.

Window seat.
I always wanted a room
with one of those.

You had your date
with sean?

Yeah.

That's where I was tonight.

How'd it go?
Great.

Good. He's a nice guy.

Yeah, it went okay.

Good.

Yeah.

Until he kissed me.

He took me home
and kissed me goodnight.

And...

I don't know,

The date, the whole night,
just felt...

Phony all of a sudden,
like it wasn't me--

It was somebody
I was watching,
but not me.

He went home,
and I texted you.

Sean's a nice guy,

And if he's interested in you
as more than a friend,

You have to be
honest with him.

You're saying
I should dump him?

I'm saying you
shouldn't lead him on,

You have to be honest.

That is so easy
for you to say.

You're fearless.

I am so not fearless.

You came out.

I didn't come out
of the closet.

I fell out--
on my face.

But I'm out.

And whatever else happens,
I don't have to
worry about it anymore.

If I say it out loud...

If I say...

"I'm gay"...

The whole world
is gonna change.

Yeah. It will.

You want to hear
something funny?

I would love to hear
something funny.

When I was trying to
talk myself into being
interested in boys,

I would look
for guys like you.

Like me how?

The kind that would pull me up
on stage and get me to sing.

Because I would never
do that on my own.

Hanna?

Yeah?

Caleb's things are gone
from the guest room.

He left.

Can I come in?
Not right now,

I'm sorry, honey.
It's me.

Did you just get home?

yeah.

Is everything okay?

I was right.

We've got a shot at having
the search warrant thrown out.

That's good.

Yeah, that's good,

But there was nothing
for them to find.

They did find something.

What do you mean?

I got this back channel.

They found some fibers,

Some threads caught in a bracelet--

That name bracelet of yours.

The one alison gave us?

The threads match the sweater

That they found in toby's closet,

The one with the blood stains.

I have to ask you--
did you have that sweater?

Did you plant it in toby's house?
No!

That's the sweater alison was wearing
the night she died.

How could I have
that sweater?

I guess the theory is that
she gave it to you that night,

Or you took it from her.
I took it from her?

You mean like after she--

Inside their minds,
it makes sense.

What about in your mind?
What do you think?

I think someone's going to a great deal
of trouble to make you look guilty.

mom.

It's okay.
