Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 2, Episode 14 - Through Many Dangers, Toils, and Snares - full transcript

A month has passed since the liars were arrested and they're at each others' throats and Emily has been iced out completely. But what could have divided them so severely, has "A" finally ...

Previously on
"Pretty Little Liars..."

Dr. Sullivan?

She's not here.

Looks like she didn't
come home last night, either.

I walked Toby outside and when I
came back inside, it was here.

We have five hours
to obey our Chucky dolls.

When my dad came back
to Rosewood,

- he hooked up with my mom.
- Is this true?

I thought we felt
the same way about each other.

You deserved to be with somebody
who can be honest with you.

So I'm sorry.



- What do you want?
- I think you need to leave Hollis.

What were you and Noel Kahn
talking about today?

The English teacher?
The one you think is so great

is having a thing
with one of his students.

Aria, have you heard
anything about this?

I'm not leaving Hollis,
but you are leaving Ezra.

If Spencer's parents find out
about this, they will ruin you.

I've done everything
you've asked me to do.

Those are a set of latitude and
longitude coordinates.

Dr. Sullivan!

There's something down there.

They set us up!

Evidence doesn't lie.

We've known all along
what the murder weapon was.



Tonight we caught you with it.

I wish I could see
those bitches right now.

It's over, Jen. There's nothing left
that can link us to that night.

She deserved to die like that.

♪ Pretty little liar
all by yourself ♪

♪ sneak to the park,
dig in the dark ♪

♪ telling little lies
to make their mark ♪

♪ I think I'm in trouble,
I'm in trouble again. ♪

♪ I been a bad, bad girl
and it's always the same. ♪

♪ It's a bad situation and
it's just gettin' worse... ♪

Only an hour and
thirty minutes to go.

I think it's more like two
hours, but who's counting?

How many hours you got left?

Six months.

But your momma's not
a big-shot lawyer

getting you and your pals
community service

for tampering with evidence.

I thought you said
they killed somebody.

That's what the cops think,
but the cops can't prove it.

Cops are stupid.

- We didn't do anything.
- Don't talk to them.

I'll talk to anybody I want to.

- No, you won't.
- And who's gonna stop me?

Both of you just shut up.
I don't want to hear it any more.

Did you at least
think about my idea?

It was a bad idea when they
arrested us, it's a bad idea now.

We finally have something solid.
Why won't you use it?

Because you can't make
a deal with a rattlesnake.

You can if you have
something the rattlesnake wants.

Can we stop talking
about snakes?

Listen to me.

We're not going to be making
any kind of a deal with "A."

- That's final.
- Maybe for you.

The rest of us don't have
lawyers for parents.

Meaning what?

Meaning your mom may have
gotten us a deal,

but if they ever figure out a way
to charge us for killing Ali,

she'll throw the rest of us under the
bus to save you... And you'd let her.

Hey!

You guys, stop!

♪ I'm in trouble... ♪

Whoa! Spencer, stop!

♪ I think I'm in trouble ♪

♪ trouble again... ♪

♪ Better lock it
in your pocket ♪

♪ taking this one
to the grave. ♪

♪ If I show you that I know
you won't tell what I said ♪

♪ 'cause two can keep a secret
if one of them is dead. ♪

- Can you at least try to be civil to her?
- I am civil.

Hanna, when you and Emily walk into the
same room, the smoke alarms go off.

If Emily's parents had
taken her back to Texas,

the plea bargain
would have fallen apart,

you might have gone to jail.

Whatever it is that happened
between the two of you--

Have you talked to dad
since the big event?

Yes.

He still seems mad
when he talks to me.

Because he's angry.

He's angry, Isabel's angry--

I'm still trying to figure out
why you did what you did.

I had to stop it.

You stopped the wedding but
you didn't stop the marriage.

He went back to Baltimore
and got married anyway.

Yeah, in some
court justice's office.

Well, at least creepy Kate didn't
get to show off at the reception.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, Emily.

So, how does it feel to be
done with community service?

Almost done.

There was a problem
in the park.

Spencer and I have to do
an extra two weeks.

Well, maybe then things can get
back to normal for all of you.

I don't really know
what normal is any more.

Having you and Hanna
under the same roof,

I know how hard this has been
for both of you.

I hate to see the four of you
drifting apart.

I was really hoping
there's be some kind of...

Thaw by now.

I don't think that's something
Hanna and the other girls want.

Fax is for you.

So, you like this guy?

He's okay.

I mean, he's really old,
but he's not a jerk.

He doesn't make those listening
noises like my first therapist.

He dialed down my meds,

and he doesn't look at me
like I'm a bobblehead

the way I catch mom and dad
sometimes.

They do not look at you
like you're a bobblehead.

Really? I still
catch them looking.

And you too.

Well, we just
want you to be okay.

That's tough to do
with people waiting for you

to turn into a zombie
or something.

Hmm. I always saw you as more
of the cute werewolf type.

Hello.

Hey, Mike. Aria.

Hi.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Yeah, I, um,

I don't really get over
to Hollis any more.

Have things to do around here.

So, I still have that Ivy Dunbar
book that you lent me.

The essays. I know that
you said it's pretty rare,

- so you probably want that back.
- No, it's okay.

No rush. As long as
I know you have it.

I do. I really
like her writing.

Yeah. I knew you would.

Mike, would you--
would you go...?

Sure.

How are you?

- Numb.
- Look, I'm sorry.

- Aria--
- No--

I can't handle it.

My mom thinking that
you were with Spencer--

Don't worry,
she hasn't told anybody.

The trouble with the police-- I can't
let anything bad happen to you.

Aria, something bad has happened.
You won't let me see you.

Well...
We gotta go.

Yeah, I gotta go too.

It was great seeing you, Mike.

Mr. Fitz.

- Bye.
- Bye.

What do you mean you're not coming?
I'm here.

I'm waiting for you.

Um, I should probably go.
We'll talk later.

Hey.

Are you back for
more drivers ed?

Uh, actually I was
hoping to see Jenna,

but she's staying home today.

You two make
an interesting couple.

Has anybody
ever mentioned that?

I mean, I liked it better when you
guys were keeping it a big secret.

Now all the mystery's gone.

It was never secret.
It was private.

When the time was right,
we let people know.

Yeah, well,
timing is everything.

You keep saying things to me like
they're supposed to mean something.

No, no, just that it's interesting,
you know, the timing of things.

Like the shovel
that killed Ali turns up,

and all of a sudden you two are
holding hands in the town square.

Look, just because two things
happen at the same time

doesn't mean they're connected.

Well, you know all about things
being connected, don't you?

Again, is that supposed
to mean something?

You know all about connections.

Like you're connected to Jenna

and Ian and Jason...

Almost like you guys are
members of the same club.

Hey, where is Jason, anyways?

Nobody's seen him since
the night we were arrested.

He was at the police station, and
then all of a sudden he's gone...

You were there that night.
Do you have any ideas?

Maybe he got tired
of you and your friends

and he just went away...
like Dr. Sullivan.

All my blood levels are good,
the ulcer's completely under control.

I'm totally okay to swim again.

See? No exercise
restrictions.

That's really great, Emily.

I can be at practice tomorrow.

I hope we can
work something out.

It's already worked out.
I've got a clean bill of health.

You've got it
right in your hand.

It's not just about
your health, Emily.

Being on a team is a
privilege, not a right.

You know what I'm talking
about, don't you?

I'm almost finished
with community service.

We have to think about
what it means to the team--

the sort of signal it sends to the
other schools if we let you back.

What exactly
are you telling me?

I'm telling you
it's not my call.

I have to talk
to the principal.

I'm sorry.

Um,

this is my extra-credit
report on Vonnegut.

Thank you.

So it's okay?

I look forward to reading it.

- Hey!
- Sorry.

Stop it!

I'm tired of making
allowances for you guys.

You're supposed to be friends.
Now go sit down.





...The first time I see him in weeks,
and I can't say anything.

Because of Mike?

No, 'cause I just...
I can't.

There was nothing you could do.
You had to break up with him.

I know.

We've all got somebody
we want to protect from "A."

And on top of all that, you've got
Jackie the ex to worry about.

- What did he ever see in her, anyway?
- I have no idea.

Maybe she was
a late-onset psycho.

Well, we'll take care of Jackie,

but right now we just
have to do what Spencer said,

just slay one dragon
at a time. Okay?

Okay.



Hey. I found
another one.

- Oh, no.
- What can I say,

you were on the side of
the road for a month

and there are a lot
of cellphones in the world.

People take pictures.

But why do they have to
take pictures of me

in an orange jumpsuit
picking up beer cans?

- This one wasn't so bad.
- You looked at them?!

I have to look at them if I'm gonna
find them and get them taken down.

Show 'em to me.

No, no. Don't show them to me.

Okay, let me look.

- What's that?
- Uh, nothing.

Oh, God, I look like
a demented creamsicle.

It'll be down by tomorrow.

Look, you have been amazing,

and I'm so, so grateful to you,

but you're never gonna
find all of these, are you?

Look on the bright side.
It is the Internet,

you're up against talking dogs

and people eating
bits of sofa cushion--

it's way more interesting than a
pretty girl in an orange baggie.

I do not look pretty
in these pictures.

You do. Sort of.

In a post-apocalyptic-rag-tag-
band-of-survivors kind of way.

Okay, now you're just
trying to make me feel better.

And how is that working?

Surprisingly well.

I thought it was a good way to talk
about architecture in context.

I mean, people lived
in these buildings.

It was the real world for them.

Anything that gets people reading
Henry James is fine by me.

Yeah, and we could
combine classes.

We'll show 'em The Heiress.

Count me in.

Is everything okay?

I never used to wince
when my phone went off.

Now I've got judges
and lawyers on my speed-dial.

It's a different world.

How are you holding up?

One day at a time.

Families get through
much worse than this.

Everybody's been very polite
about what happened,

very sympathetic...
And I hate it.

I know that underneath it they're just glad
it wasn't their kid that got in trouble.

I guess...I know Aria
well enough to believe

that she would never do anything
to hurt you and Ella.

Well, nobody starts out
to hurt anybody.

No. No, they don't.

You should come back over.
We'll finish that dinner.

- And that scotch.
- I would love it.

All right, I'll talk to Ella.
Great.

Hey.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

You stopped picking up your cell, and
I didn't want to call the house.

Well, my folks are in
Philadelphia with Melissa.

Something wrong?

They wanted her
to see a specialist.

There's something irregular
about her heart rate,

so she's having tests done.

You okay out here alone?

Yeah.

You're finished with
community service, right?

Well, no.
They tacked on two more weeks.

Why?

Because Emily and I
had a fight.

Wh-what's going on?
You're best friends.

I'm getting really tired of
people telling me who my friends are.

Well...

Two weeks is close enough.

That's beautiful.

I made it for you.

- I can't take it.
- Why not?

- We've been over this.
- I told you the night they arrested you,

I'm not walking away.

Do you hear what you just said?

- The night that I was arrested?
- I don't care.

Well, I do!
Please, Toby, I do.

You have to stay away from me!

I can handle your father.

- This isn't about my father.
- Then what is it?

I don't want you
"handling" my father.

I don't want to have to look over
my shoulder and find you there.

What I want is for you
to forget about me.

If you really want
to worry about somebody,

why don't you worry about your sister
and that cop boyfriend of hers?

"You were always my favorite.

Want to make a deal?"

"A" took the bait.

We pulled it off.

"A" totally think
we're not friends any more.

They think that we have
real evidence.

Does it bother anybody that we
don't actually have anything,

- we're just making it up?
- But Jenna and Garrett don't know that.

I just scares me that
Emily's doing this alone.

She's not gonna be alone.
We'll be outside.

Yeah, but it's just
the four of us.

Every time we ask someone for help,
they end up collateral damage.

Like Dr. Sullivan.

Or a traitor, like Garrett.

It was so creepy to
have to talk to him,

but it was totally worth it
to rattle the cage.

So tomorrow.

And everyone that's watching
is going to believe

that Emily totally went rogue

and that she wants
the box that Jason gave me.

The one with the evidence...
That doesn't really exist.

Are you sure that "A"
is gonna follow Emily?

Absolutely.

I'm the weakest link.

And the weakest link
wants some payback.

So what's the difference between a
comic book and a graphic novel?

About 12.98.

Did you miss me?

He follows her around
like a trained monkey.

It's worse when
he comes to the house.

I didn't see Jenna.
Is she here?

Must be in the girls' room.

Still supporting the Sharks?

They're swimming
against Rollins High.

Thought I'd make some noise.

- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.

What the hell is
going on with Spencer?

You'll have to
talk to her about that.

She's not talking.

I really can't help you
with Spencer. Sorry.

Emily.

Don't you shut me out, too.

I'm not shutting you out.

It's just not good for
any of us right now, Toby.

What are you doing here?

You've got a very short memory.

We had a deal.
You were going to stay away from him.

I did stay away from him.
We broke up.

I'm just returning a book.

Returning a book.
I saw.

Look, I didn't--

I didn't leave it.
I was taking it with me.

I can show this
to your father too.

You think I won't do
what I promised?

This is your game.
You picked the rules.

She said she'd destroy you,

she'd go to my dad
and he'd have you fired.

At least I know why
you broke up with me.

Before Jackie, I don't think
I understood how...

How dangerous it was
what we were doing.

Did you stop because of Jackie?
Or because you were afraid?

I was afraid for you.

I didn't want to
see you get hurt.

I should have told your mother the
truth about us at the police station.

- You tried.
- I should have tried harder.

But I saw that look in her eye,

that steely
"I know what you've done" look,

and I folded.

I know that look.

I have to go.

Aria.

I'm not gonna let Jackie
destroy anything or anybody.

She means what she said.

You still trust me?

Yeah, I do.

Then there's something you and
I need to do this afternoon.

Hey.

You're missing all the action.

Too much chlorine.

- You allergic?
- Intolerant.

There's supposed to
be a difference.

Hey, listen, I wanted to say thank
you for keeping an eye on Hanna

while I was away.

How's California?

Different.

And the new family?

I still sort of feel like
a foreign exchange student,

but I like them.

And they seem to like me, so...

What's not to like?

So, are you going back
for good?

Hmm. It's complicated.

My mom gave up her parental rights.
You can't just change that.

Well, that's what
lawyers are for.

I thought I would stay here
and finish out the school year.

- And then what?
- Figure it out when I finish.

But hey,
if you can't put me up,

I'll totally
figure something out.

No, you're more than welcome
to stay with me.

I was just wondering
how long you'd be around.

So, have you thought
about the future?

Lucas, I owe you a lot,

but right now you're talking
like a guidance counselor.

You don't owe me anything.

What do you mean?

If you hadn't talked me
into coming back to town,

- none of this would have happened.
- That thought did occur to me.

If I make plans,
you'll know about them.

I'm not the one you need
to keep in your plans.

Don't worry about Hanna, okay?

Hey, it's last event,
the last heat.

Where is Aria? We said that we
were gonna do this together.

I'm sorry.
It's complicated.

- So is this.
- I'm here, okay?

Okay, it's every man
for himself.

I want the box
that Jason gave Aria.

Well, you're not gonna get it.

Guys, Spencer's only
looking out for herself.

- We have to cut a deal with--
- Shut up, Emily.

- Where is it?
- It's safe.

- Where?
- Don't tell her.

It's hidden,

and it stays hidden
until I want it found.

You forget, we all learned how to
keep secrets from the same person.

I bet I know where it is.

- Good luck.
- Hmm.

Let's get out of here.



I wanted to clarify something.

We wanted to tell you
something important.

I'm in love with your daughter.

I love Aria.

We met before
school started this year.

Mike, you should
go back upstairs.

I wanted you to know that
this started before Aria was

- assigned to my class.
- What started?

What do you mean, before she
was "assigned" to your class?

She wasn't my student...Then.

She wasn't your student then?

This can't be true.

It is. Really.

I love him.

This was going on...

This happened while
you were her teacher?

- Yes. - Do you understand
what your staying?

Yes, I do.
No, I don't think you do,

because if you did, you wouldn't be
standing here. You wouldn't dare!

Aria, go upstairs.

- Take Mike with you.
- No.

No, I'm staying here.

If this is true, what
you're telling us--

It is.

No!

What I'm hoping can happen
is that--

No. What is gonna happen is,

you are gonna
leave this house right now.

- Mr. Montgomery--
- End of conversation.

- Dad, just--
- Aria, no.

- Byron--
- I am not asking you.

I am telling you.

Mike!

Maybe you should go.

And you knew about this?

I did not know about this.

I thought I knew
about Spencer Hastings.

Spencer.

Yes. I saw them together, and--

you heard the same rumors I did.

And you talked to him
about Spencer? - Yes.

And he lied to your face.

Well, maybe I didn't give him a
chance to tell me the truth.

Well, this is not about
telling the truth.

This is about what he did.
He's finished.

The man is finished.

Well, I suppose he is.

You suppose?

You were here,
you heard what he said.

Of course I did.

When what's left to suppose?

It's just I realize that this
happened when we came home.

That has nothing
to do with this.

I'm just trying to understand
what she was thinking

by getting involved
with a teacher.

Well, this is not about
what she was thinking;

This is about what he did.

We're talking about someone
who should have known better.

It shouldn't have started,

but it was his
responsibility to stop it.

Can I say something, please?

Of course you can.

Don't make up your minds
right now.

You can't figure out
in one night

what I'm still trying
to understand myself.

I love you...

So much.

I love him too.

So please, just--

just imagine for one minute
that this is real,

because it is,
I swear that it is.

Just go to your room, Aria.

Dad.

Mom.

Go... upstairs.

Don't be angry.

Angry doesn't begin to describe
how I feel about you right now.

Who said you could come in?

Ezra, you were making
a terrible mistake.

I had to do something to wake
you up to what was happening.

Bad idea to wake a sleepwalker.

What happened to your lip?

You told her parents.

Did Professor Montgomery
hit you?

No, that's what her brother
brought to the party.

What did you expect
was gonna happen?

Go away, Jackie.

She's a teenager...

And you were her teacher.

Get out.

There's nothing
I want from you.

And I will not let you
do anything to her.

So get out.

Emily left ten minutes ago.
I'm almost at the door.

I'm going now.

I'm trying to think of
what we're forgetting to bring.

I think we're all set.
I'll see you soon.

Okay.

Hanna...

You can't go anywhere right now.
Your father's on his way over.

He wants to
talk to us together.

You want to give me a hard time, that's one
thing, but you can't treat Emily like that.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

What is going on
is between Emily and me,

- so just forget it.
- Forget it?

I'm just gonna watch two people I
care about rip into each other?

Right. I'm gonna do that.

For everybody's sake,
just stay out of it!

Stay out of what, Spencer?

After everything
that's happened,

how can you just stand there
and tell me there's something

I'm not supposed to know about?

What do I have to do
to make you leave me alone?

Tell me about the night
you found the shovel.

I told you!
I told you what hap--

Yeah, you said somebody
tricked you into finding it,

and I believe you,
but ever since that night,

the four of you have been acting
like-- - Acting like what?!

Like Ali is still
running things,

playing you against each other.

Today at school, you sounded just
like Ali when you talked to Emily.

Jenna always said that
you wanted to take Ali down,

replace her.

I didn't think that was true
until today.

- It's not like that.
- Then what is it like?

I can't do this!
Don't ask me!

- Spencer... - No! Don't ask me now!
Ask me after tonight.

What difference
is one night gonna make?

It could change everything,
but I need you to let me go.

And I need you to promise
that you won't follow me.

Congratulations again
on getting married.

Thank you.

Well, at least now you won't have
to send back all your gifts.

Hanna.

Sorry.

You're not the only one
that's angry here, Hanna.

There's plenty of that
to go around.

That's something
we're gonna deal with,

and we're gonna deal
with it as a family.

Which family?

That's one of the things
we're gonna work on.

Which is why I wanted to talk to
you at the same time, in person.

I made some arrangements,
we're moving back to Rosewood.

"We"?

Me, Isabel, Kate.

- Kate's going to be in Rosewood?
- Mm-hmm.

- Is she going to school here?
- Yes, she is.

Dad, how could you
do that to me?

Because he loves you...

And this way
he can be near you.

Isn't that right, tom?

Oh, my God.
He told your parents?

- Yeah.
- What happened?

They sent me to my room.

No. No, this is not good.

I'll get out somehow.
Where's Hanna?

On her way, I hope.



(Byron, Ella talking in distance)

- Are you going to see him?
- No.

But I have to get out.

You better go this way.

There's handholds.

You're gonna have to drop
the last four feet, though.

Is this how you
sneak out of the house?

It's been my escape route
for years.

Look, Mike, what's going
on with me and Ezra,

- it's really--
- Stop.

Look, I'm sorry I hit him.

But when I saw dad's face, I
figured better I do it than him.

I knew you'd be here.

I knew I could depend on you.

You listen to us.

You're always listening.

You know you made
a mistake, don't you?

It must be driving you crazy.

You're afraid
we found something,

something in this box.

Something about you.

Do you want to know
what we found?

Do you want to see
what you're afraid of?

Nothing.

We found nothing.

We lied to you,
and you believed us.

That was your mistake.

Aaaah!

No! No!

Emily!

Are you okay?

You guys, come on!

Hanna!

My God, I don't believe this!

Hey.

- You okay?
- Yeah, I think so.

- Did I just hit what I think I did?
- Yes!

And now they're gone!
We've got nothing!

We've got nothing!

- Was it Garrett or Jenna?
- How could it be Jenna?

- I couldn't tell.
- Well, was it a boy or a girl?

- I don't know!
- Any sense of boobs?

- Hanna.
- What? It could be a clue.

That's not mine.

It's not mine.

It's none of ours.

Do you think when "A"
bounced off the car...

That's "A"'s cellphone.
