Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 2, Episode 1 - It's Alive - full transcript

The liars face the fallout from what happened with Ian at the church, their parents have them talk with a therapist; Caleb returns to see Hanna; Spencer is told Toby is off-limits.

NARRATOR:
Previously on Pretty Little Liars:

Do you realize what these videos are?
Ian's been watching us for years.

JENNA: There's nothing wrong about us,
Toby. We're not really related.

JENNA:
Alison's so cunning.

If this video gets out,
we will lose everything.

I won't let that happen.

Hi, I'm Jackie Molina.
Is this the Montgomery house?

Excuse me.

EZRA: She was the first really
serious girlfriend I ever had.

- Not telling me about her was a lie.
- I'm sorry.

- You were spying on me the whole time.
- Not the whole time.



Don't touch me.

Make sure she gets this.

They extended your dad's assignment.
He wants us to come to Texas.

- You mean for a visit?
- For a year.

Look, I've never had a safe place to land,
but now I feel like I do.

Melissa would want me
to take care of this.

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

Is that why you killed her?
Because she found your home movies?

[SPENCER SHRlEKS]

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

I'm doing it because I love her.

[SPENCER SCREAMS]

IAN:
Let go of me!

What are you doing here?



[GRUNTS THEN SCREAMS]

[BELL TOLLS]

OFFlCER:
Is this some kind of a joke?

There's nobody in there.

[BELL TOLLS]

ALL: "Sleep tight
while you still can, bitches. A."

[SlREN WAlLlNG lN DlSTANCE]

ARlA: He wasn't moving, okay?
And he was not breathing.

Because he was dead.

Is dead. Not was, is.

So unless we're saying lan's a zombie,
someone moved the body.

It was probably stuffed
in the trunk of A's car.

It's probably on its way
to a meat grinder.

Oh, Em, come on, you gotta quit
watching those horror films.

You guys, A's probably
watching us right now.

Any one of these people could be A.

Yeah, half the town is here.

They wanna see you girls down
at the station. I'm here to drive you.

Um, I saw my parents earlier. They're
gonna wanna know where we're going.

They'll meet us there. Come on.

Let's go.

OFFlCER:
This is a crime scene.

Hey, I thought we were going
to the police station.

- Why are we stopping?
- Garrett?

- Let's go.
- No, I'm not going anywhere.

Get out of the car.

- It's not safe to talk in the car.
- lt doesn't feel safe out here, either.

GARRETT:
I'm sorry if I scared you.

There's things you need to know
before you start answering questions.

- We're listening.
GARRETT: All right.

The police cannot know you were
blackmailing lan and I was helping you.

It's a serious crime.

- Well, what about the messenger?
- He doesn't want any trouble.

- And the money?
- For now, I'm hiding it.

- What about the videos?
- Do you still have them?

Yeah, we made a copy.

I've never asked you guys how you
got them, and I don't wanna know.

But you'd better be prepared
to tell the police.

That's the first question
they're gonna ask.

MAN [OVER RADlO]:
Officer Reynolds, what's your ETA?

Uh, yeah, we're en route.

MAN:
Roger that.

I hate asking you to lie like this,
but are we all clear?

We'll keep the videos a secret.

- For now.
- Okay, good. Let's get back.

I'm sorry we got you into this.

Well, we'll be okay.
We just need to stick to our story, yeah?

HANNA: Ugh, my brain is numb
from all those cop questions.

SPENCER: I don't think I'd be here
if it wasn't for A.

A killed lan to keep you here.

Ugh, I'm sorry,
but that is not a comforting thought.

A gives so she can take.
We know that.

- So, what's the bitch gonna ask for?
- Whatever it is...

...I don't think we can afford it.

Spence, I mean, you didn't-- ?

You didn't see anything?

I saw a black hoodie,
black boots and gloves.

Well, I think it's safe to say
that A's not Jenna.

- Are we sure?
- A sees everything, Hanna.

I'm starting to think we should tell
someone about her. Him. It.

What's the worst thing
that can happen?

- What?
- A knows all of our secrets.

If people find out, we'll always be those
girls who blinded Jenna Marshall.

And now we're those girls
who are afraid of A.

No, Em. I mean, you're right,
but look, we have so much to lose.

Ugh, I feel like I have a hangover
and never went to the party.

We need caffeine.

Oh. No offense, but can I make it?

- Seriously?
- I'm with Aria.

Yeah. Sorry, Spence,
but your coffee gives me the shakes.

Amateurs.

What's going on?

Mom?

Uh, Veronica,
since this is your idea, shoot.

The accusations you made about lan
have cast a bright spotlight on all of you.

Spencer is still a person of interest
in Alison's murder.

Now the police seem to think
you three are also involved.

Ian killed Alison, okay?
And last night, he tried to kill me.

Yeah, we were all there.

- We told you what we saw.
- And we heard you.

We don't need to rehash
what we talked about last night.

This is about moving forward.

While the police sort through this,
we want you to see a grief counselor.

She's a therapist who can help you
deal with Alison's death.

And what appears to the police...

...to be an obsession
with trying to pin her death on lan.

- You think we're lying?
- Emily, I believe you.

It's the way it looks that concerns us.

This is a preemptive strike, and the goal
is to garner police and public sympathy.

I'm not going to a shrink.
That's what friends are.

You can't be the only one
who doesn't go.

Maybe you'll get more out of it
than you think.

- This is bull--
- Hanna.

Do you believe us?

What I know is that one of my daughters
is in the hospital...

...and the other one's in trouble,
and it's my job to protect you both.

You didn't answer the question.

But you haven't heard from lan
for a reason. He's dead.

Dead men don't get up
and walk away.

We told you,
someone moved the body.

Who? Who would do that? And why?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

- ls Spencer home?
- You shouldn't be here, Toby.

TOBY: Is she okay?
PETER: No, she isn't.

Spencer's in trouble
and you're not helping her.

Whether you've earned it or not,
you have a reputation.

My daughter can't be seen with you.

I would never do anything
to hurt Spencer.

Good. If you mean that,
you'll stay away from her.

I'm sorry, Spencer.

GARRETT: Why would Jason
move back into that house?

Are you sure it was him?

- Maybe he's looking for--
- Don't. Shh.

If anybody finds out
about the Jason thing...

You won't let that happen.

ELLA:
Are you sure you wanna be here?

I mean,
you can stay home for another day.

Yeah? That'd be your home or mine?

We haven't had a chance to talk...

...but, um, I heard what you said to me
about your dad.

[SlGHS]

Mom, I'm so sorry.

You really didn't deserve that.

Well, actually, maybe I did.

You said exactly
what I needed to hear.

And, um, your dad and I wanted to tell
you and Mike this tonight...

...but I think you could use
some good news.

I'm gonna move back in.

You're not just doing this
for me, right?

No. I mean, I'd be lying if I said no,
but I'm doing it for me too.

I'm ready to come home.

BOY:
Well, I heard that she's cracking up.

[CHATTERlNG]

[STUDENTS CHUCKLlNG]

[BELL RlNGS]

NOEL: You need some help
with that, Mr. Fitz?

[STUDENTS SNlCKERlNG]

You can take your seat, Mr. Kahn.

BOY 1: What's up, Noel?
NOEL: Hey.

BOY 2:
Suspension over?

NOEL:
Ah.

Miss me?

GlRL 1: They made the whole thing up
to get attention.

GlRL 2: I heard lan and Spencer
were having an affair.

GlRL 1:
Is it possible it's true?

GlRL 3: You mean he fell to his death
and disappeared?

GlRL 1: They just got used to everybody
looking at them and didn't want it to stop.

MONA:
I don't know what's more pathetic.

People who gossip
or people who listen to gossip.

Look at Suzy Lipton strutting
her bony ass in those skinny jeans.

I heard she lost all that weight
drinking breast milk.

- What?
- Boob milk, you can buy it online.

[CHUCKLES]

I miss how easy things used to be.

You mean,
before you reunited with the others?

- We had so much fun last summer.
- And some of it was even legal.

- And I'm tired of thinking about things.
- Ugh, me too.

Maybe I do need therapy.

As in retail.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I still don't trust him.

How does Noel Kahn get suspended...

...and then come back more popular
than he was when he left?

Maybe it has something to do
with that winning smile.

Aria, do you have a minute?

I'd like to speak with you
about your essay.

[WHlSPERS]
You don't have to go.

[MOUTHS]
Yeah.

I'll see you in a minute.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Do you wanna talk about it?
You wanna tell me what happened?

- Uh, not really, no.
- Aria, don't shut me out.

- I'm here for you.
- I'm not shutting you out.

I just don't really feel like talking
to you about it.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Jackie
and I understand how it looks.

But you'll see,
she doesn't change anything.

Come over later.

[SlGHS]

- I can't tonight.
- Aria, please talk to me.

I don't know what to say.

I mean, things just feel different.

But they're not different.
Nothing has changed.

I'm still in love with you.

I can't do this right now.

Are we over?

I don't know.

[SlGHS]

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

Hi.

Um, is Toby here?

My parents would like you to leave.
He's not allowed to see you anymore.

So whatever you had with him,
it's over.

Wait, Jenna--

JENNA [ON VlDEO]: You have no idea
who you're dealing with. Huh?

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

...that you've been
forcing yourself on me.

- Oh, no, I didn't mean to scare you.
- What do you want?

Um, this is Mr. Mendez, and he's the
realtor who's gonna be showing the house.

Is it okay if I take a quick look
at your room?

- I guess.
MENDEZ: Ah.

I like your photos, but for the showings,
you should put them away.

See, renters like to imagine
their own stuff in the house.

Small, but generous
for a guest bedroom.

[CHUCKLES]

Of course,
you'll need to paint over this.

Aw, cute. You thought
of leasing the home furnished?

That was lan's aunt.
If she hears anything, she'll call.

GARRETT:
Any siblings?

No, his parents are gone
and he's an only child.

- Would he have gone to a friend?
- We contacted everyone.

Maybe he was in an accident.

We've contacted every hospital
in the area.

He hasn't been treated for anything.

- That's good news. He's not hurt.
- Mom, where is he?

Melissa.

Hey, I'm glad you're home.

We've issued an APB on lan's vehicle,
and we're tracking his credit cards.

So the second we find out anything,
you'll be the first to know.

- Thank you, officer.
- Oh, uh, I almost forgot.

We found this in the church.

My phone. Thank you.

We'll be in touch.

Uh, listen, as you can see,
my daughter's in a very fragile state.

She's extremely worried.

Mr. Hastings, finding your son-in-law
is a top priority for the Rosewood P.D.

I know you don't believe me,
but what I said was the truth.

I don't know where he is,
but when lan comes home...

...we're leaving this place, because l
don't want you anywhere near this baby.

He's not coming home, Melissa, ever.

- Spencer.
- lf I'm lying, where is he? Huh?

- Why isn't he here?
- That's what we're trying to figure out.

And right now, Spencer,
you're just complicating things.

You know what? You were right
about one thing yesterday.

You do have two daughters,
but you're only protecting one.

I guess the other one's
just a complication.

[MELlSSA SlGHS]

Sorry I'm late,
but have you been downtown?

The sales are huge.

You must be Hanna. I'm Anne.

So, what did I miss?

- Not a thing.
- We waited for you.

Damn.

[SCARS ON 45'S "HEART ON FlRE"
PLAYlNG ON RADlO]

CALEB: Thanks for springing for the hotel.
LUCAS: Technically, I think it was a motel.

Heart's on fire

- I owe you for this.
- No, you don't owe me anything.

Hey, Caleb.

I don't know what you did to Hanna,
but whatever it was, don't do it again.

And take my pulse and hose me down

My heart's on fire

It sounds like you credit Alison
for the friendship.

We became friends because of her.

But she's gone,
and the four of you still seem very close.

We weren't always.

We lost touch when Ali went missing.

What brought you back together?

You don't all have to agree.

There are no right
or wrong answers here.

Her death.

She means when they found her.

When they found her body.

Do you think you were looking
for closure?

We were looking for answers.

The answer to who murdered Alison.

The four of you don't have
to go through this alone.

This is a safe place to talk. Nothing you
say here goes beyond these walls.

Do we...?

Do we wanna talk about that thing?

[CELL PHONES BEEPlNG]

What is it?

Um, I think our time is up.

Ah, it's not A. It's just my mom.

HANNA: Yeah, same here.
She wants me to come home.

EMlLY:
"What really happened?"

They found lan's car
by the train station...

...and $10,000 that he took
from his bank account.

They think he skipped town, we made up
a story because we knew he left?

[CELL PHONES BEEP]

ALL:
"l spy a liar. A."

I know what you're thinking. When I tell
you how much I saved, you'll be happy.

And I'll share the Maddens with you
if I can wear them first.

- Hanna.
- Okay, fine, you can have the Maddens.

And I'll just take the Betsey Johnsons.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm going to excuse myself
and go try on my new shoes.

- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Do you wanna sit down or...?
- No.

- You're not allowed to do that.
- What?

You're not allowed
to look at me like that.

Ugh, and you're not allowed
to do that, either.

I didn't leave without saying goodbye.

Okay, was I unconscious
during that exchange?

I should've told you in person.
I just...

I had never said the things
that I was feeling...

...and I didn't feel
like I could say those things...

...without making
a complete ass of myself.

Pretty much like I am doing right now.
Heh.

So I wrote you a letter,
and in the letter I said I was sorry.

Most of my life, I have felt alone,
even when I was with people.

That was until I met you.

So, what happened to this letter?

I gave it to Mona.
She said she would give it to you.

Um, look, I appreciate that you
came back here to tell me that...

...but it doesn't change what you did.

Look, if you...

If you let me,
I know I can make it up to you.

Because I love you.

I'll never be able to forget
that you were using me.

I'm sorry.

I believe you.

But you should probably go.

[CALEB SlGHS]

Goodbye, Hanna.

[SlGHS]

[DOOR OPENS]

[CHATTERlNG]

Oh, Hanna.

Ooh, loving that scarf.
Did you get that today?

- How could you do that to me?
- Do what, sweetie?

I know about the letter.

- The letter?
- The letter Caleb left for me.

The one you never gave me, sweetie?
I thought you were my friend.

I am your friend.
That's why I did it, okay?

No one has ever hurt you
the way that he did.

I couldn't give him a chance
to do it again.

You had no right
to make that decision for me.

Sorry. I screwed up, okay?

I thought I was doing the right thing.
I thought I was protecting you.

Well, you were right about one thing.

Caleb really did hurt me.

- But this hurts more.
- I'm sorry, Hanna.

- lf I could take it back, I would.
- Well, you can't.

Sorry I'm late.

[SCOFFS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

- Are you okay?
- No.

[SlGHS]

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

I was hoping we could talk.

Emily's waiting for me.

- It's important.
- Well, I'm playing catch-up in Trig.

That's your Russian history book.

Cute outfit.
Are you wearing it for Emily?

If you're going to see Toby,
I won't say anything to Mom and Dad.

What do you want?

I'm sorry about what I said
about not wanting you around the baby.

We picked a name.

Taylor. Heh.

It works for a boy or a girl.

I like it.

I don't believe what the police think,
that lan took that money and left town.

- He wanted this baby as much as I do.
- So, what are you saying?

I don't know where lan is,
and I've run out of places to look.

Tell me again what happened
at the church.

I've told you everything, Melissa.

No, I wasn't listening, but now I am.

So you believe me?

I don't know what to believe.

But I know lan would never leave me.

You can't paint over this.

When we leave,
it will be like I was never here.

Are you serious?
My mom is gonna kill me.

No, I promise,
I'll make it look like new.

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

It's Spencer. She can't make it.

I'm sorry.

There's nothing
you should be sorry about.

Actually, there is.

I let you down
when I thought you hurt Alison.

You didn't deserve that.

It's history, okay?

I never told anyone,
but I always knew that I was different.

You are.

That's what's so great about you.

I got so good at hiding it,
but you saw it.

I saw the way you looked at Maya.

You loved her.

I miss talking to you.

I feel like I'm leaving four friends now.

Emily, do you see how easy it was
for us to get back to this place?

It will always be like that.

Hi. You're early.

Hey, come in.

Uh, I'm really glad you called.

I read yesterday's paper.

We didn't lie to the police.

I don't know what happened to his body,
but lan's dead.

I believe you.

I'm sorry you have
to go through this alone.

I'm not alone.

I understand, you have your friends,
but you have me too.

You just don't realize it.

You said yesterday
that things hadn't changed.

It feels like they have.

Ask me anything,
I will tell you the truth.

Why did she end it?

She, uh, thought she was ready
for the commitment, but she wasn't.

Am I your rebound?

No. No,
but you did help me to get over her.

Were you still in love with her
when you met me?

I wish I would've known that.

Aria, there was not one moment
when we were together...

...when I was thinking
about anybody but you.

Thank you for being honest.

You know what I love
about Saturdays?

It's that feeling I get
when I look up at you...

...and I realize that we have
the whole day to be together.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah, I know that feeling.

So will you stay?

EZRA:
Hey.

Can I call you tomorrow?

Um, I'm spending the day with my family.

- Yeah.
- I'll see you on Monday.

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

A had to have followed me to Ezra's.

And he, she, shim, must've seen me
get that key from under the doormat.

Let me see that.

Okay, I see books,
photographs, magazines.

- What?
- ls that a Playboy?

- What?
HANNA: Right there.

- Under that black thing on the cabinet.
- That black thing is called a typewriter.

Han, that's not a Playboy.
That's a Playbill.

I don't think what's missing matters.

A wants us to know she can come
and go from Ezra's apartment.

When's it gonna stop? Remember
where we were a few months ago?

- Visiting me in the hospital.
- A hit Hanna and kept on going.

A didn't even hesitate before pushing
lan. It's almost like it was no big deal.

I don't wanna be sitting
next to you guys at another funeral.

You think we should tell the therapist?

We were really close
to telling her yesterday.

It felt so good.

Telling Anne
wouldn't be like telling our parents.

I mean,
she has to keep it a secret, right?

Look, okay, I know we promised Garrett
we wouldn't show the video to the cops.

But I mean,
if we want Anne to believe us...

A picture's worth a thousand words.

You know, she was wearing
a gorgeous pair of Chloes.

- Who?
- The shrink.

And this is relevant
to this conversation because...?

You can tell a lot about a person
by their shoes.

I really heard her when she said that
we don't have to go through this alone.

Do we all agree?

Thank you for seeing us today.

Sounded like there was something
you wanted to tell me.

There's also something
we wanted to show you.

Um, I just wanna get
one thing straight here.

You're not allowed to tell anyone
anything that we say in here, right?

Unless you tell me something
that leads me to believe...

...that you're a danger to yourself
or to someone else.

Okay. Hanna?

I didn't know Tory
made those boots in brown.

Are you satisfied?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.

Go ahead, Emily.

I think we should tell her first,
and then...

Yeah, sure.

Aria?

We did drift apart after Alison
went missing.

And it's true that her death
brought us back together.

But I don't know
if we'd be as close as we are now--

This talk is premature.

Uh, I'm sorry we wasted your time.

What just happened here?

Um, you know, we need to figure out
what we wanna say...

...so that we can communicate
more, um, effectively.

And that's what we'll do,
so we're gonna reschedule.

You girls called me, remember?

Uh, yeah. I'm really sorry about this.

Well, if she didn't think
we were crazy before, she does now.

What was that?

- Where did you get this?
- Bookshelf behind the shrink.

- This is what A took.
- A knows we're coming here.

And that we were gonna tell.

- How is A always one step ahead of us?
- Starting to think that bitch has powers.

You've gotta tell Ezra
to change his locks.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Come in.

[SlGHS]

Do you have a minute?

Yeah. What's wrong?

Well, we just got off the phone
with your therapist.

ELLA: And she didn't tell us
what happened today.

But she did tell us she doesn't think
it's gonna be helpful...

...to continue seeing you girls
as a group.

Heh, yeah. Don't really blame her.

And based on your sessions,
she's making a recommendation...

...that, uh, we're gonna back her up on.

- For now.
- A recommendation for what?

She doesn't believe
you girls are capable...

...of maintaining a healthy friendship
at the moment...

...so she's recommending
that you spend some time apart.

BYRON: And Dr. Sullivan said
she's seen this before.

After a traumatic loss,
it's not uncommon...

...for a close-knit group of friends
to disconnect from the outside world.

- But that's not what's happening.
- We're not saying this is forever.

Are you telling me
that I can't see my friends?

[TREE BRANCHES CRACKlNG]

TOBY:
I had to see you.

[SPENCER SOBBlNG]

[FOOTSTEPS]

[CAR BEEPS]

Lock the door.

Yes, sir.

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

ARlA:
Anyone could've sent that, Spence.

HANNA: It could just be some kook
trying to mess with Melissa.

SPENCER:
Maybe, but it doesn't seem random.

"It's not safe. I can't tell you?"

- Can't tell you what?
- Where he is.

Guys, lan is dead. We all saw him.

There's only one way to know for sure.
Send a reply.

SPENCER:
How do I know this is you?

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

Um, what's something that only lan
would be able to answer?

Oh, I know.

What are we naming our baby?

ARlA: Wait, what is the name?
- Taylor.

[BEEPS]

[ALL GASP]

- It's him.
- lan's alive.

[THUD]
[ALL GASP]

MENDEZ:
Hmm, I see you found the guest bedroom.

Would you like to take a look
at the master?
