Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 1, Episode 3 - To Kill a Mocking Girl - full transcript

Aria has an unsettling encounter with Meredith; Emily is forced to see Toby in a new light; Spencer is reeling in the wake of a vengeful Melissa.

It's too hard to sit
in this room every day

And call you Mr. Fitz.

Okay, I can't pretend
like I don't know you.

I'm really sorry, mom.
For what?

The cop.

We're meeting Melissa's fiance.

Wren: Does she have
to know everything?

Stop, stop.
We can't.

This is no longer
a missing persons investigation.

It's a murder.

Hanna. Is this waiting thing
something you really want,



Or is it because of your dad?

No, it's me. It's...
It's my choice.

So, I'm corrupting you.

What are you
so weirded out about?

Emily: I think there's
something wrong with me.

You lost a dear friend.

You need to find a way
to say good-bye.

( plants rustling )

Hanna: Whose idea
was this, again?

Spencer:
Emily's mom.

Emily: The shed was me.
My mom just said

We should do
something for us.

Hanna: Well, couldn't we do
something without mosquitoes?

They're not mosquitoes;
they're gnats.



Whatever! They're small
and annoying,

And they're flying up my nose.

Well, they're attracted
to your perfume

And your hair product
and your lip gloss.

So, what are you saying,
I attract flies?

Gnats. Why do I feel like
this is the wrong way?

No, this is it.
I remember that tree.

It's the halfway point.

There's 136 steps
left to the shed.

Have you been out here
since... Alison?

Me? No. No way.

But you remember that tree.

You guys, it's not that weird.

I mean, we came out here
in eighth grade,

Like, every day--
even after.

I think this is totally
the wrong place to do this

Whatever you call it--
shrine.

It's not a shrine.

It's just a place
to remember Alison.

What's wrong with that?

Doing it way out here makes it look
like we have something to hide.

You're worried
what other people think?

Well, aren't you?

Do you really want to give
that creepy Detective

More reasons to question us?

Hanna, why are you so quiet?

I'm trying to keep the bugs
in my nose and out of my mouth.

You're allowed to have
an opinion on this.

You want my opinion?

I say we hold off
and not remember her

Till we know for sure
she's not still here.

What?
What are you talking about?

You think she's still alive?

Spencer: Hanna,
they found her body.

Stop. I'm officially scared.
Can we just not--

You asked for my opinion.

I don't believe
she's really gone.

We went to her funeral!

Yeah, and when we left
we all got a text from her.

It wasn't her.

Someone is messing with us.

How do you know?
And what about all those nasty messages?

I mean, how does this "a" person
know stuff only Ali knew?

Okay, this conversation
is giving me a hive.

That's a bite.
Mosquito.

Spencer, have you gotten
any more messages?

Haven't you?

( rustling )

What was that?
Did you hear that?

Yes, I heard that.

I'm standing right next to you.

Hello?

Is anybody out there?

It's probably a rabbit.
Hello?

It's a rabbit, Hanna.
It's not gonna answer you.

Can we just get to the shed?

( rustling )

Okay, that is
definitely not a rabbit.

Someone's out there.

Let's turn around.

( message alerts ring )

The pierces:
♪ 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 ♪

♪ if one of them is dead ♪

Morning.

Where's my mother?

She ran upstairs for somethin'.

Trying to figure out what makes
this stuff spreadable.

You want a waffle or somethin'?

No. Thanks.

There she is.

It's canola oil!

Darren, why don't
you get dressed?

I'll take care of breakfast.

Yeah.

So, what, he lives here now?

Take out the milk.

Is this a permanent thing?

Would you keep
your voice down, please?

God, it was one pair
of sunglasses,

And they were last season's.

Hand me the bottles.

Mom, you don't have to do this.

Do what?
Squeeze his grapefruit.

We will talk after breakfast.

I don't eat breakfast,
and neither do you.

Look.

Until he gets the store
to drop the charges

For your shopping spree,

We're not kicking
anyone to the curb.

The last thing we want

Is an enemy
on the police force.

I get it, okay?

But I didn't count on
having to buy him

A father's day card, either.
Hanna!

The situation is delicate.

By the way, if you're
buying anyone a card,

It should be me.

Byron: Well, you're
pretty far into it.

Yeah, I've got, like,
60-some pages left,

And I don't want it to end.

You should read
her biography next.

The father-worship thing
becomes a lot clearer.

Well, I would worship
both of you a lot more...

If you got me
another one of these.

The poppy seed?
We'll split it.

Make sure your father doesn't

Drink all my coffee, please.

( sighs ) do you
like your teacher?

What?

Your English teacher.
Do you like him?

Oh! Yeah. Uh, he's okay.

What's his name again?

Mr. Fitz. Hey,
maybe I'll check out

That biography at school.
What's it called?

I've got a copy of it
in my office.

I'll bring it home.
It might inspire you.

To what, write a novel?

You've got it in you.

Woman: Byron?

Hey! Hi. How you doing?

Sorry. I didn't mean
to interrupt.

No, no, no, that's okay.

Um, Aria, this is,
uh, Meredith Sorenson.

She also teaches
in the department,

Uh, my department,
and this is Aria,

My daughter.

Oh, Aria! Hi.
Of course you are.

Did you get my message?

Yes, I did, and I'm sorry

I haven't had a chance
to call you back.

It's okay, they just need
the referral by Monday.

I'll get to it as soon
as I get back to campus.

Is there an e-mail, or...

Here.

So, how does it feel
to be home?

This town must seem
a little dull

After spending
a whole year overseas.

Not really.

Okay, well, I'll, uh...

I'll send that before lunch.

Thanks.

I'm so glad I ran into you.

Nice to meet you.
Welcome home.

Why can't she graduate?

She has. I told you.

She's now a teaching assistant.

Not mine, but her office
is across the hall.

I can't pretend like
she doesn't exist, Aria.

It's a small college.

Mm. Not small enough.

( clunks coffee cup down )

You can't avoid
seeing people, sweetie.

It is what it is.

And what's that--
sad, humiliating, pathetic?

All of the above?

Just... Take someone else.

I don't want to have
to explain a wedding

That's never gonna happen
to every last club member.

Morning.

Hey.

( snits ) excuse me.

Where's dad?

He left for the office.

Already?

So he ran without me?

Why didn't he
just knock on my door?

He was busy.

He was helping Melissa
dispose of some things

That... Wren left behind.

Unfortunately, you
weren't one of them.

How many times am I going
to have to say it?

Oh, girls, please!
I can't arbitrate on one cup of coffee.

Who's calling the paper
to pull the announcement?

It was hard enough changing
my status on Facebook!

I'll take care
of the newspaper.

What about
the engagement dinner?

Do I have to make that call?

No, honey, of course not.

Just look up the number
and I'll leave a message.

Where are you going?

I'll eat in my bedroom.

Oh, no, you won't.
I just dry-cleaned your bedspread.

Sit at the table.

I don't think I'm welcome.

That's never
stopped you before.

I did not invite
your fiance to kiss me,

Melissa, for the last time!

He made the move on me!

Spencer, please.
And you just sat there like a throw pillow

With your tongue
down his throat!

Look, I get it!

You're upset
and I feel for you,

But don't dump it all on me.

Maybe you should be
asking yourself

Why wren felt
the need to--

I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm not perfect,

But I don't want to be accused
of something that I didn't do!

Oh, stop, please, both of you!

Go get dressed for school.

You can take your muffin to go.

Ah! Totally love
this color.

We should've stocked up
on a few more tubes.

Well, I only have
two hands. Keep it.

Why, is your mom
asking to see receipts?

Sean!

What's so funny?

Nothin'. Noel's just
out of control.

Mm, you smell good.

Noel: Save something
for tomorrow night.

What's tomorrow night?

Noel's parents
are leaving town.

It means the party of the year
is officially on.

Think big, think wild,

Think parental units
in a different time zone.

I gotta get to practice.

Save that smell.

So, the pressure's on.

What do you mean?

Not all of us have a Sean
to wear to that party,
