Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 1, Episode 22 - For Whom the Bell Tolls - full transcript

In the season one finale, the girls go to an unlikely source for help to put an end to "A" and the mystery surrounding their friend. Can they really stop "A" once and for all?

Ali: I see you!
Who was it?

It was that perv,
toby cavanaugh.

And I'll make sure
everybody knows.

The cops took hanna
to the police station today.

You don't think she'd ever
talk about...
The jenna thing?

We made a promise.

Oh, my god.
It's jenna.

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

( gasping )
I think he's dangerous.

And I think
you need help.

You know what, melissa...



Spencer,
we're pregnant.

I saw a photo
on your website page

Of you and jackie.

Why did you break it off?

I didn't.
She did.

I feel like you're
breaking up with me,

But we were never
really together.

I have a boyfriend.

And I think you deserve
a better boyfriend.

You did this for money?
Jenna offered me cash

To make myself
available to you.

You were spying on me.

Make sure
she gets this.

Toby's a friend.



You need to be careful about
who you associate with.

I thought you
were on our side.

Being trailed is gonna
help clear your name.

Better it's me than
someone who thinks
you're guilty.

Someone's been spying
on us for years.

Why did alison
have these videos?

This is why
she was killed.

Is that jenna?

You're late.

Who's she talking to?

Toby.

It's not right.

There's nothing wrong
about us, toby.

We're not really
related.

( chuckles )

Be so easy for me to convince
your daddy and my mommy

That you've been
forcing yourself on me.

You have no idea
who you're dealing with.

Turn it off.

Do you realize what
these videos are?

They're of us...
Allie, jenna.

We're young girls
in our bedrooms

Changing clothes.
We're naked!

Exposed.

Do you think someone
was watching us

And getting it off on it?

Well, we all know who had
a thing for younger girls.

I feel sick.

In some of these,
we were just kids.

Ian's been watching
us for years.

And he killed alison
to make sure nobody found out.

I wish ali would've told us
about these videos.

You guys, it is not
too late to help her.

We can use this to prove
that ian killed alison.

How are we gonna
do that?

We start by finding out
what jenna knows.

Are you on something?

Jenna's at the top
of our a-list.

Look, I get it, okay,
but she knows that
these videos existed.

She was looking for them.
That's why she hired
caleb to find that key!

Spence, how are we ever
supposed to believe
anything that bitch says?

If that bitch is "a,"
this could be a trap.

You guys, ian was
watching all of us.

For all we know,
he still is.

Spencer's right.
We have to try.

We've been afraid of her
since the jenna thing,

And now we finally have
something that she wants.

Alison gave it to us.

can you keep it? ♪

up after practice

Sure, um, and if
it's okay with you,

He can stay at my place.

Listen, thank you so much
for coming over here.

It just makes it so much
easier to do it in person.

Yeah.

And thanks for the coffee.

You still make
the best cup in town.

I'm... Having
the faculty mixer tonight.

Uh-huh.
Everybody would love
to see you.

Oh... I don't know, byron.

Come on.
It'll be fun.

Well, it's just--

What are we saying,
"welcome to our home?"

I mean, I don't exactly
live here anymore.

It's just a party, ella.

Dad? Hey, can I help?
Bet we make a great team.

Absolutely. I'll take
you up on that offer.

Okay. Bye.
Bye.

( cell phone ringing )
so, you heard us?

This is about so many
different things.

I hope you know that.

There's just no simple fix.

Look, dad cares
too much to say this,

But you either love him
or you don't,

So you should probably
figure it out,

Because it sucks
for all of us.

Coffee's fresh.

No, thanks.

Just came down
to get supplies.

Supplies?

Yeah. I'm spending
the rest of my life in bed.

Oh. Yeah.
I tried that...

After your father left,

And you convinced me
I was pretty and smart

And isabelle was
fat and ugly?

Yeah, well, I lied
about the last part.

Well, I knew that,
but I got out of bed.

I'm sorry you're hurting, hanna,

But you're gonna go
take a shower,

Put on a beautiful dress,

And know that I'm making you
go to school because I love you.

Here.

What did the letter say?

What letter?

Caleb brought you
a letter.

After he left here
yesterday,

He was on his way
to give it to you.

Well, I guess
he decided not to.

He seemed pretty determined
to find you.

Oh, he found me,
looked at me,

And then got on the bus
to bastardville.

He won't be alone there.

Mm. Hey, babe.

You, uh, sure
you don't want me

To give you a ride
to the church?

Don't be silly. I can walk
from the station, daddy.

( chuckles ) okay.

I'll see you later.
Bye.

Church?

We're planning
the christening.

Isn't that
a little premature,

You know, if it's
not born a human.

( door closes )

That's not funny.

Well, humor's subjective.

No, I know how you feel
about ian,

But I honestly thought
you'd be happy about this baby.

That was cruel.

I'm sorry.

Well... It doesn't help
to tell me that.

I need to talk to you
about something.

Is dad okay?

Mom.

Yes, honey, he's fine.
He's fine.

They extended
your dad's assignment,

And he wants us
to come to texas.

You-- you mean
for a visit?

For a year.

Look, honey, we've
been separated too long.

It's not good for us.

Mom, I-I get it, but...

( sighs ) you know, maybe
this is what we need,

You know, a fresh start.

I don't need
a fresh start.

I felt like an outsider
for so long.

I'm just starting to
feel like I belong here.

You're 16, emily.

You belong with your family.

I've been calling you
all morning. Where are you?

Ezra: I was talking
to the principal.

What happened?

( sighs ) I...

I just gave
my resignation.

Ezra...

Hollis offered me
the job.

Uhh!
You scared
the hell out of me!

That hurt.
I don't care!

The cops, the ten messages
you sent me doesn't ring a bell?

I'm sorry.
I panicked last night

Because the guy was
standing in my doorway

Asking questions
about a student.

( period bell rings )

We're fine.
Wasn't about you.

It was about spencer
and the trophy and...

Props, and I...

( chuckles ) aria, I'm not
gonna be your teacher anymore.

We can grab a cup of coffee,
go to a reading.

We can live outside
my apartment.

( chuckles ) I'm sorry
I punched you.

Mm.

Professor fitz!

So, I'll be attending
the faculty mixer
at your house tonight.

Right, I'll give
you the tour.

( whispers )
I'll show you my room.

Ahem! Okay then.

( sighs ) I know
it hurts, hanna.

He was your first
poor boy,

And that's
oh-so-romantic,

But ( scoffs )
you deserve better.

Caleb told my mom
he wrote me a letter.

He didn't leave anything
for me, did he?

Well, let's
pretend he did.

It wouldn't
change anything.

I mean,
he was a jerk!

You wanted him
to go away, right?

You know, I think
I'm more mad at myself
than him.

For what?
For being stupid.

I actually believed
he loved me.

Sorry.

You're not gonna be mad
at me forever, are you?

Probably.

Who's there?

It's spencer.

Who else?

Aria, emily...

And hanna.

Should I call security?

We have what you hired
caleb to find.

You didn't think it was wrong,
but toby did.

So, you've seen it?

Every frame.

What do you want from me?

The truth.

Can you handle that?


♪ ( sighs ) look, when I said at the
hospital,isit me I was telling you the truth.

She didn't come to talk
about you, spencer.

That was a lie.

And how do we know that you're
not lying to us now?

You knew alison, okay?
You knew what she
was capable of.

We're listening.

It was the day before
she went missing,

And she was on her way
home from georgia.

She had just found
the video...

( sighs ) she couldn't wait
to play it for me.

It'll be so easy for me
to convince your daddy
and my mommy

That you've been
forcing yourself on me.

Where did you get that?

The guy I like likes
to make movies.

I thought they
were just of me.

You think
you know people...

And then
they surprise you.

Turns out,
the boy next door

Gets off on watching
all the girls next door.

And darling jenna
isn't the victim.

Freak toby is.

I'm not proud of that.

I so don't care.

I'm gonna keep this
under lock and key.

And if you
keep our secret,
it'll stay there.

Fine.

I thought you'd
see it my way.

Oh, and jenna...

If you ever come
back to rosewood,

I'll bury you.

She was on her way
home from georgia?

Th-that's what she said.

And then she made
some joke

About her... Tan.

Too bad I couldn't see it.

Did she tell you
anything else?

It was
a short visit.

Look, I-I have given you
what you've asked for.

What are you gonna give me?

We'll make sure the video
stays in a safe place.

Okay.

We've all made mistakes.

Remember, I'm still
paying for yours.

( sighs ) sick.

For all we know,
she wrote that story.

And we still don't know
how ali got the video.

Yes, we do.
That video was alison's
insurance policy,

And she cashed it in
the day that she got it.

Which means she was
with ian when she found it.

And she couldn't wait
to play that video
for jenna.

God, do you remember
how happy ali was

When she came back
from that trip?

I think it's because,
for her, the jenna
thing was over.

Nice of her to share
the safety net with us.

"wait for it, girls.
Wait for it."

Wait for what?

That's what ali said
when we met her at the taxi.

Maybe that's what we
were waiting for.

Do you remember
at alison's funeral,

When we were all wondering
why jenna was there?

If she's telling the truth,

Jenna came back
because she could.

And ali's the one
who got buried.

Aria: Well, if you want,
my dad can call your mom

And officially offer you
the guestroom.

( sighs ) this is
so not fair.

I mean, we lost
each other for a year.

I can't imagine
not being...
I got it.

Okay, you're sure ian
can't trace this number
back to us?

It's a prepaid phone,
I used cash,

And the number
isn't registered, so...

Service
is anonymous.

How do you
know this stuff?

Don't you ever
watch cnn?

Not any chance
of that.

Homeland security
is trying to ban
these things.

( ian and his team
chatting )

He acts like he doesn't
have a care in the world.

He thinks he got
away with it.

Well, he hasn't.

Okay, so we convince ian
that this isn't about
anything but money.

Hopefully that'll
throw him off of us.

If he wants his home movies,
it's just gonna cost him.

And then when he shows up
for the swap, we...

Make our own movie.

Right, and we take that,
the flash drive,

And the prepaid phone
into the police.

The second he responds
with a text, we know
that he's guilty.

Send it already.

( cell phone chirps )

There must've been
a part of me that
didn't believe it,

Because I just...
I-I feel...

Numb?

Somehow I-I thought
I'd feel better

When we found out
for sure.

Well, I know what they do
to guys like him in prison,

And that makes me feel
a lot better.

( cell phone beeps )

( sighs )

It's just my mom making sure
I stayed out of bed.

( cell phone chirps )

He wants to know
what we want.

Is this the "let's love
on hanna" lunch committee?

Feeling better, sweetie?

I'm sorry, I have this thing
that I have to do.

And then there
were four.

I'll help.
Yeah, me too.

And then there
were two.

Um, I'm really sorry,

Mona, but spencer
has this thing,

And she really needs
her friends right now.

And then there
was mona.

( phone ringing )

Hanna!

Caleb. I'm glad you called.

Because she's already
lost yours.

Yeah, bye-bye birdie.
Sayonara, sam.

Hello?

What's that look
about, hermie?

Having your period?

Hanna never got
that letter, did she?

She thinks he left
without saying good-bye.

You know, you act like
such a terrible person,

But I always thought
some of it was
just an act.

I guess I was wrong.

I didn't give her the letter
because caleb really hurt her.

You think we should let him
do that to her again?

I see no combination
of "you" and "I"
that forms "we."

I know I've made a lot
of jokes at your expense,

But I was just
having fun.

Is that your version
of an apology?

I am sorry.

And if you forget
about the stupid letter,

I'll make it up to you.

I'll help you transform
from her-mie to her man.

She's not into me
like that.

Not yet.
This is your chance, lucas.

Are you gonna
man up or not?

( phone ringing )

They found the video.

And they've seen it.

You don't need
to worry.

I'm taking care
of it,

And I'll be there soon.

Hey. Emily.

Um, can we-- can we
talk for a second?

Are you watching me
now, too?

No, not at all.

It's forced family fun night
with the reynolds.

Dancing with the stars
is on and they vote,

So they're all really...
Invested.

( chuckles )

When I realized
you were a cop,

I thought we had
someone on our side.

Well, it might not
look like it,

But I am on your side.

I don't enjoy
following spencer,

But if she hasn't
done anything wrong...

If?
I didn't mean it
like that.

Off the record,

I know she wouldn't have done
anything to hurt alison.

Here's my cell number.
Call me if you need anything.

Thanks, garrett.

I'm glad I ran into you.

Me too.

Hey, uh, if you want
to join in on the fun,

There's
an extra laz-e-boy.

Thanks, but I should...
Really get...

That's cool.
I get it. Heh.

Hanna?

I don't want
to be alone.

I ran into lucas
in the parking lot,

And he asked me
to give you this.

I think you left it
in the cafeteria.

How did things
get so screwed up?

( sighs )

Now your mom's back there
packing boxes.

Hmm. Maybe we could
pack her up.

Mm. I thought things were
better between you guys.

They are.

Texas...

It's beauty queen
capital of america.

Well, that could be
a good thing...

If that's your type.

It's not.

So, you have a type?

Okay, just promise me

That y'all won't
come back with big hair.

I promise.

Well, I'm glad
you're here.

I don't want
to be alone, either.

we will lose everything.

I won't let
that happen.

I promise you.

No, it didn't, aria.

I haven't seen her
since last summer,
and she was a t.A. Then.

I can't help but think
that you still have
feelings for her.

There's no other reason
for you to keep that
from me.

She is not a part
of my life anymore.

Yes, she is!

She's downstairs
having wine with my dad.

I screwed up.
( chuckles )

Not telling me about her
was a lie.

I'm sorry.

Melissa: I talked to him
this afternoon.

He was taking care
of the contractor,

Then heading straight
for the church.

Something's wrong,
I can feel it.

Calm down, okay?

Ah, I can't
find my phone.

Do you want me
to call your number?

Damn it!
I left it at the church.

Melissa,
you have to relax.

Please, this cannot be
good for the baby.

Spoken like a sister
who actually cares.

I-I care, okay?

I wish I could believe you.

Do you want me to go
back to the church?

Yes.

( crash )

Spence, it's us again.

It's 7:30 and we're
at the park. Where are you?

Maybe she's on her way
and she just doesn't
have a signal.

I don't know. If she's
not here in ten minutes,
we're calling the cops.

Oh, spencer.

She's stable, but they're
monitoring the baby.

Monitoring for what?

They say it's
too early to tell

How significant
the trauma was.

And are you okay?

The car came out of nowhere.

Oh, honey,
it wasn't your fault.

( crying )

( message tone ringing )

What?

It's not spencer.

It's from "a."
it's for all of us.

( reading )

Does "a" know we're here?

"a" knows everything.

We have to find ian.
I've left him three messages.

She's not gonna relax
until we find him.

Maybe he went
to the church.

She left her phone
there, anyway.

It's just a couple of blocks.
I'll go look.

Spencer, about what
I said this morning.

Melissa knows
that you love her.

Spencer hastings?

Yeah?

We recovered this
from your vehicle.

Thank you.

He's here.

( phone ringing )
spencer, where are you?

No! Stay
with melissa.

We're safe.

Okay. Bye.

Thanks for coming.

Trust me,
I'm glad you called.

Okay. So, no one else knows
you're here but me, right?

Well, I left
a note for my mom

In case anything
happened to us.

All right, well, this looks
like the only way in,

So if ian shows,
I'll see him coming.

Hello?

He's got a gun.

He does?

Guys, he's a cop.

Did you really leave
a note for your mom?

Yeah. "dear mommy,
I went to the woods
to trap a killer."

( owl hooting )

Hello? Reverend acker?

Someone's coming.

I want the three of you
to stay out of sight.

Stop right there.

( clicks )

Put your hands
where I can see them
and turn around.

It's not ian.

( phone buzzing )

( slam )

( gasps )
lose something?

Look, someone paid me
to drop off this bag

And pick up a package.

He found me online.
My name is logan reed.

I'm telling you
the truth.

Spence, um, ian didn't show.
He sent a messenger.

We're on our way
to the hospital, okay?

Melissa left
her phone here.

We've been trying
to call you.

You know, I got
the strangest
text message today.

The number was blocked,
but I could reply to it.

( beep )

( phone ringing )

( chuckles )

Yeah, asking for money.

That was clever.

Are your friends
waiting for me?

Look, there's
been an accident.

Yeah, I know.
I got the messages.

I've just been waiting
for you to leave the hospital.

You know, melissa

Would want me
to take care of this.

She'll understand.

You gonna take care of me
like you took care of alison?

Well, is that why
you killed her?

'cause she found
your home movies?

Do you want some popcorn
to go with that?

( rattling )

No. Come on, come on.

( screaming )

( phone ringing )

Spence?

I can't give you the videos
more than once!

Spencer?

My mom knows I'm here.
She knows I'm in the church.

Picked a perfect place
for your suicide.

( spencer struggling )

It's ian.
Call 911.

( grunting )

Oh, you didn't mean
to hurt alison, huh?

It was an accident.

You pushed her,
and she fell.

Is that what happened?

Uhh!

She just hit her head
and she never woke up.

Alison died
of suffocation.

Yeah, the letter
that I wrote on your computer

Won't answer all the questions,
but it will answer enough.

The guilt was just
too much for you.

Aah! No! No!

( gasping )

Please, if you
love my sister,
you won't do this.

I'm doing it
because I love her.

( screaming )

Uhh!
Oh! Oh!

Let go of me!

Please don't!
No! Please!

What are you doing here?

Aah!

( bell tolling )

( crying, panting )

Spencer!
Spencer!

Spence!

Oh, my god.

Guys.

Spencer!
Spencer!

Spence!

Spencer!
Spence!

Where is she?
Spencer!

Spencer!

Are you okay?

( quivering )

Oh, my god.

Hey, look,
you did what you
had to do, okay?

No, I didn't.
Someone else did.

No, spence, there was
nobody else here.

Maybe he fell.

All I saw was
a black hoodie.

"a"?

Ian killed alison,
and he tried to kill me.

No, hey, spence.
Hey. He's dead, okay?

It's over.
It's over. Okay?

It's okay.
It's okay.

Cop: Stop right there.

Is this some kind
of a joke?

What do you mean?

There's nobody in there.

Come with me.

Byron: Ella!

I got a text from aria.

I heard ian thomas is dead.

She's all right.

I'm so sorry, byron.

No, it's okay.

We're okay.
