Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 3, Episode 10 - What Lies Beneath - full transcript

The liars follow a lead about where Maya might have been before her murder; Aria must deal with the aftermath of meeting Ezra's mom.

Previously on Pretty Little Liars...

- Wait, I've been here before.
- This is Noel Kahn's cabin.

Wren: Based on your testimony,

the board has decided

to delay any decision
to transfer Mona.

She gets to stay.
Oh, my God!

You own this place?
I'm Zack.

Gotta say,
she's pretty intriguing.

I want to know more.
No, you don't.

So you figured out
there's another "A" out there.

Caleb, you don't even know
what that means!



When you told us about Emily, you never
mentioned that Noel was with you that night.

What else did you lie about?

You got somebody pregnant
in high school?

What happened?
My mom happened.

Your mom offered her money.

I drank from the flask.

It was the night that
somebody dug up Ali's grave.

And I'm trying to find out what happened to me.
You were with me.

What's the best way
to get around

really tough password
protection?

So this really is Maya's site.
Beware.

This site is cursed.

( Hisses )

Yeah. They sentis thing's
the wrong one.Ze of a redwood.



Let's just move it off to the side until
they can come back and pick it up.

A little help here?

I think it's perfect
where it is.

( Phone rings ) Just move the
small plants out of the way

so I can slide that one
over there.

"Emily, I'm so sorry
for everything.

"I know we've had
a disconnect lately.

"Iope you'll give me
a chance to explain.

"I have to show you something.

"Don't call my cell.
Someone stole it.

Meet me at..."

"Meet me." Where?

I don't know.
I can't tell.

It looks like it's been
washed out by the rain.

Are you sure that this is from Maya?
Positive.

I wonder what
she wanted to show you.

You guys, we need to slow down,

because we have no idea
when Maya wrote that note,

and it could have been any time
after Emily moved in here with you.

It looks like there's a date
on the top right corner. Look.

Oh, my God.

Maya wrote this
the day she died.

♪ 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'll know
you won't tell what I said ♪

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

( Yawning )

Wow!
You brought a lot!

What are these, Cranberries?

Jalapenos.

Aren't you gonna be late?

How much would you
have to pay someone

to make them fall off
the face of the earth?

Are you talking about...
Maggie.

Clearly, your mom must have
given her a lot.

I would imagine.
You don't know?

You... you really
never asked Maggie?

I asked, but she never
or emails. Y phone calls

I looked for her
for months, Aria.

Eventually I had to
accept the fact

that maybe she
didn't want to be found.

Why didn't you just
tell me about her?

Because she's part of a past
that I tried to forget.

And when we first met
every skeleton in my closet.

But you could have
I found out about Jackie.

Ezra, we've been
for over a year now!

And you took a very long time
to tell me about Jenna, and "A."

This is completely
different than that.

Do you want this toasted?

Actually, I think
I'll eat later.

I should probably
hop in the shower.

( Sighs )

( Laughter, chatter )

I'm cutting you off
after this one.

No. There is just so much to look at.
I've seen it all.

Believe me, I've done nothing
the past few days. T

I'm a fresh pair of eyes.

There might be something on here
that will help us figure out

where Maya wanted you
to meet her.

I should give Jeff a hand.
He's new.

Hey.
Hi.

You haven't been in
to see Mona lately.

I have had
a super-busy week.

Well, next time you go,
let me know,

we could grab coffee.

Look, Wren,
what happened the other day...

I've been thinking
about it too.

Actually, um,

not much else since then.

It can't happen again.

Oh. All right.

Look, Spencer's my best friend.

I thought she was with Toby.
No, she is.

But I mean, a best friend
doesn't really date an ex.

And Caleb and I...
broke up. Right?

Look, it's just too soon for me
to see anybody else right now.

I'm really sorry.

Don't be.
I understand.

If you change your mind,
you know where to find me.

How many times
have you reread that?

Too many.

Didn't you and Maya have a spot that
you liked to hang out at by the lake?

Yeah. I was just there
with Nate the other day.

Maybe that's where
she wanted you to meet her.

We could go together. I could
help you take a look around.

I don't even know what
I'm supposed to be looking for.

Have you heard from Toby?
He called last night.

He's waiting on
a permit for the loft,

so he took a job
in bucks county.

Honestly, I'm relieved he's not
here, I'm not lying to him.

Yeah. Lying to Toby is like
lying to the dalai lama.

I don't how much more
of this "A" I can handle.

I mean, I survived Mona
with straight a's,

and now I'm like failing
everything, even physics.

Spence, it's gonna be okay. And
a "b" is far from failing.

"B" is for "bad."

Hi, guys.

Hey, Paige.

Um, I'll talk to you later.
Yeah.

Ready for lunch?

I can't. Coach Morgan
asked me into her office.

Oh, wow. Maybe she's gonna ask you
to swim the last leg of the relay.

I hope so.
I've been dying for that spot.

Well, if anyone
deserves it, it's you.

Thanks.
I'll let you know.

♪ Feels so right to love you ♪

♪ so much I want to say ♪

♪ ( male-female duet
continues ) ♪

Mmm. Freshly baked bread,
brie and hummus.

I don't think I've ever
been so spoiled.

Yeah. I grow those tomatoes
in my back yard.

I kind of have a green thumb...
Ya know.

Wow. Man of many talents.
( Laughs )

Yeah. And, uh, also...

I managed to smuggle in a little bottle
of prosecco, if you want a taste.

I think we should probably
save that for tomorrow night.

I have to teach
Shakespeare today,

and I don't think I should be slurring
my way through the iambic pentameter.

Yeah, that's probably
a good idea.

Yeah.

Hey, mom.

Hi... Honey.

This is Zack.
Hey.

I've heard great things
about you.

You're Zack.

You... you did all this?

Yeah, there's plenty left
if you're hungry.

No, I'm...
I'm good, thanks.

( Exhales )

I should go.

Um, cannolis
waiting to be stuffed.

I'll see you tomorrow, babe.
Yes, you will.

It was great meeting you.
Yeah, you... you too.

"Babe"?

So? He's cute, right?
Very.

Yeah, you just...

Didn't mention
how different he was.

Different than who?

Or is "different"
code for "young"?

No. I... I don't have
a problem with his age.

Mom, did you tell him yours?

We've been very honest
with each other.

Okay. Well... It's a
good start, I guess.

We'll talk.
We'll talk after school.

Yeah. Yeah.
Talk. We'll talk.

( Bell rings )

Okay, bye.
Yeah. We'll...

hmm.

What's this? Have you
taken up scrapbooking?

No, I blew up the photos
from Maya's website.

Uh, all of them?

Yes. And I organized them
by date and location,

and I really think I'm on to something here.
On something.

You can see details you weren't
able to see on the screen.

Okay, I appreciate all the
effort you're putting into this,

but if I didn't know better, I would think
that Maya was your girlfriend, not mine.

What's going on?

(Sighs)
Caleb knows about "A."

What?! How?

He went on Maya's website,

and he knew I was
keeping something from him,

so he put two and two together.
Did you tell him everything?

Yeah, enough for him to know
that it's too dangerous

for us to be together
while "A" is still out there.

So you two are just pretending
to nobe together?

Yes. And it's killing me.

So as much as I love you
and I really want to help you,

I'm doing this for me too.

Hand me some pictures.

Leave it to Maya
to make even pajamas look sexy.

Yeah, there's
a few more like it.

Those are some of
the last ones she posted.

What is this behind her?

I don't know.
A shed, maybe?

Oh, my God.
What?

That's Noel Kahn's cabin.

Wait. Why would Maya
be there during the day?

All of Eric's parties
were at night.

She was in her pajamas,
so she must have stayed over.

I mean, that's...
What it looks like.

I'll call you back.

Hey.

You have a good time
the other night?

Yeah. All my dreams
came true.

Jenna was right.

You just can't seem to stay
out of other people's business.

You lied to me.
Which time?

Well, I know that Maya wasn't just
a random guest at your party.

Random? No.

So she was what?
A friend?

Not exactly. We had
a texting relationship.

Meaning what? Meaning I hooked her
up with weed once in a while.

Oh. Was this before or after
you and Jenna

started sneaking around
in the middle of the night?

It's kind of hot knowing you
think I'm capable of murder.

Hey. Want a cappuccino?
I make a mean swirl.

Let's do it.

So, um, I found out that the band Maya used
to jam with is playing in town next week.

The owl kings are back together?
Looks like it.

I never got to hear them live.
Want to go?

( Chatter, laughter )

( Indistinct )

So that's the guy
she dissed me for.

Trust me, you dodged
a bullet on that one.

I gotta get to practice.
Okay, bye.

See you later.

The way she looked past me
you'd think she was still blind.

I have a gift for you.
Excuse me?

I never got a chance to give it
to you because you blew me off.

Oh. Well, that's nice,
but I can't accept it.

You can't accept
a birthday gift?

Well, considering we never went out,
I don't think it would be right.

I insist. Where can I find you tomorrow?
I'll drop it off.

Should I swing by your place,
say, around three?

I have to go.
Or I can just meet you here.

Please move out of my way.

( Cell phone chimes )

Hey, you.
Are you heading home?

Hey. Yeah. We can
walk home together.

Okay, but we gotta go now
because I have a coffee date.

With Zack? No, uh, with Jim.
Or maybe it's Luke.

You're not sure who it's with?

Well, I have to check my email.

I mean, it might be
Jim on Saturday

and Luke today
at the morning stir.

So... Zack isn't
anything serious?

He's handsome and smart

and he's certainly
boosted my ego...

I'm pretty sure
you boosted his, too.

Yeah, but something tells me
there's plenty of ladies

stopping by the coffee shop
to inflate it for him.

I don't know about that.
He seemed really into you.

Yep. No, I was right.
It's Jim today

and then Luke on Saturday
and Zack Saturday night.

Whoa, whoa.

Slow it down.

You haven't been on a date
since the twelfth grade,

and suddenly you're
booking two a day?

Aria, it's just coffee.

I'm just saying there's only so
much caffeine a woman can take.

And I will be sure
to order decaf.

What happened to not wanting to add
somebody else to the equation?

Well, I've broken
through that wall,

and now that
I'm on the other side,

I can see what's out there,

and I'm willing to kiss a few
frogs to find my prince.

Hey! How'd it go
with coach?

Not only am I not
closing out the relay,

she's not letting me swim
in the county meet.

What?! Why?

Because I got a "c"
on my trig test,

which pushed my average
below a "b."

How is knowing cosines gonna
help you with your backstroke?

Uhh. I... I knew I should
have taken wood shop.

Paige, you are
an amazing swimmer.

And you're already
being recruited.

How about you come to my house
tonight and we'll watch a movie?

Sure.

As long as you don't
make me watch rudagain.

What time are you getting off?

Five, but I promised Hanna
I would go shopping with her.

So, how about we say eight?

I'll pick up the Chinese.

Feeling better?

Not really.

How about now?

Little bit.

And now?

Getting there.

( Both laugh )

I have to get back to work.

Oh, darn.

I'll s you tonight.

( Chatter )

( Coach's whistle blows )

( Approaching chatter )

Hanna:
This is definitely the spot.

( Rustling )

It's nothing.

All right, come on.

Can I help you?

( Players chattering )

Looks like the beer pong
got out of control.

There's no way Maya wanted
to meet me at this place.

Well, we're here now,
so let's just look around.

Who's that?

That's just one of
the many men my mom's juggling.

You should go say hello.

Do I have to?

Well, he's looking
right at you.

( Clears throat )

Hi.
Aria, good to see ya.

Oh, that's a cool shirt.

Thanks. Yeah,
I love the clash.

Me too. My mom actually
saw them live in concert.

Oh, yeah? I bet
that was a good show.

Hey, look, I'm sorry you
walked in on me and your mom.

It's not really the way I wanted to meet
the daughter of the woman I'm dating.

Yeah, it's just I've never seen
her kiss anyone but my dad.

Yeah. My parents got divorced
when I was fifteen,

so I know the feeling.

I didn't want any men
around my mom,

it was like nobody
was good enough for her.

Yeah.

Well, for the record,
I think your mom's... Awesome.

She's really funny.

Funny.

Okay, I'm sure you say that
about all of your girlfriends.

"Girlfriends"?

Yeah, no. I'm not
seeing anybody else.

Just enjoying spending time
with your mom.

Hmm. Well...

I can see why she
likes you so much.

Oh, but for the record,

if you hurt her, I will
crush your scones.

Understood.

Did you find anything?

Nothing but stale nachos
and deer heads.

God, this place creeps me out.

Yeah. Let's go.

Hold on one second.

Em, there's another door here.

Looks like someone's
been staying here.

Em.

Oh, my God.
That's Maya's bag.

For protection?

I don't think
she was gutting fish.

Who's l.J.?

No idea.

Why would she have this?

I gave this to Ali
for her fourteenth birthday.

Maya must have found it
in the box of Ali's things.

Em.

Maya never left Rosewood.

( Door slams shut, both gasp )

( Both gasping )

Who's out there?

What do you want?!

( Clatter )

If this is you, Noel,
this isn't funny anymore!

( Computer beeps )

( Screams )

( Dialing phone )

You're not gonna believe this,

but I think Noel Kahn just sent me
the security footage from his cabin

the night that Maya died.

( Disconnects )

So, how did
your coffee date go?

Drip, drip, drip.

I don't know why you bother
going out with other guys.

Zack is...
Is pretty great.

( Chuckles )
So I have your approval?

It helps that
he is totally into you.

And what makes you think this?

He might have mentioned it.

And I might have said that
you felt the same way.

Aria! I'm sorry, but this
is new territory for me.

I mean, he basically said
he's only got eyes for you.

What I am I supposed to say? "Sorry,
buddy, don't get your hopes up.

My mom is dating half
of Rosewood." Shhh!

He really said that?
Yes.

Look, I just think

that if you see this
going somewhere,

you should just be straight
with him before it's too late.

I will, I will.

I just have to move
at my own pace.

I need to feel comfortable.

Trust me, there were so many things your
father and I didn't know about each other

when we got married.

There's no reception!

( Car drives away )

I think whoever it was
just left.

So what do we do now?
I don't know, scream?

What good is that gonna do?
There's nobody around for Miles!

Hey, do you see that light?

Geez, em!

They're locked!

Aaaah!
Oh, God!

Are you okay?
I cut my leg.

Oh, my God, you're bleeding!

It's gonna be okay. Wait.

Oh! I'm gonna be sick.

Okay.

It'll be okay.

Come on.

( Both panting )

( Both gasp )

Oh, my God.

We need to take you to the hospital.

No. No. 'Cause then I have to
tell my mom how I got this cut.

It's not a cut, it's a stab wound.
You need to get stitches.

Maybe we should call Caleb. You
know I can't talk to him right now.

We have to do something. I'm not
gonna let you bleed to death.

What are you doing?
( Dialing )

Hey. It's Emily.

So you gonna tell me
how you did this?

I told you. I was cutting a
carrot and the knife slipped.

And made a gash this big.
It was a big carrot.

Why didn't you just
go to the hospital?

This is gonna sound crazy,
and...

I want to talk about it,
but I can't.

It's just...
Not the right time.

Hanna, are you in some
kind of trouble? No.

All right, no more questions.
Thank you.

All right.

This is gonna help
with the swelling,

but you're gonna need to sleep
with your leg elevated,

so sleep with a pillow
or something under it, okay?

Have you eaten dinner?

Uh, the last meal I've had
was a rice cake and a yoo-hoo.

So with that big carrot you hit
all your basic food groups.

I'm gonna give you some antibiotics, but you
shouldn't take them on an empty stomach.

All right? So...

Three eggs, two meatballs,

and a pint of milk.

A challenge, but I'm up for it.

I want to apologize for the way
I acted at the brew earlier.

You don't have to
apologize to me.

I do. I've never
behaved like that before.

I don't know what came over me.

Jenna was a jerk
for blowing you off.

It had nothing to do with Jenna.
I barely know the girl.

I think losing Maya is having more
of an effect on me than I realized.

I just can't seem to get past
the fact that she's gone

and that's there's nothing
I can do to bring her back.

Yeah. I feel
the same way.

This bag...

It's Maya's.

I saw a photo she sent me
in an old email account.

It was dated a few days
before she died.

I recognized the cabin
that was in that picture,

and Hanna and I went there
today and we found this.

I think she was staying there from
the time she ran away up until...

You know.

She wore this at a bonfire we had
at the beach a few summers ago.

( Sniffling )

I've wanted to kiss you
for a while.

I haven't felt this close
to someone in a long time.

( Cell phone chimes )

TV: ( Dishes clatter )

Are you making popcorn?

No, but I...
I could.

No, no. I just thought that
that's why you were getting up.

I'm actually kind of tired.

Is there any way we could
finish this up another night?

Are we still fighting
without actually fighting?

No.

Look, I'm so sorry for
the way I acted this morning.

Your past is your past,

and I should have
respected that,

I shouldn't have
pushed you so hard.

Look, I'm okay...
I found Maggie.

What?
She lives in Delaware.

Did you call her?

Not yet.

( Sighs )

( Taps keyboard )

( Taps keyboard )

Hey. Hey. I hope I didn't screw
up your night with Ezra.

No, it was already screwed up.

Why would Noel
give you this video?

I'm starting to
get an idea. Watch.

Oh, my God, that's Maya.

Yeah. And look at
the time on the video.

Now look at
Garrett's case file.

"Key witness in the case
against Garrett

places him in the car with Maya
at... Nine P.M."

But that means... that Garrett was not
the last person to see Maya alive.

What...

hi.
Hi.

I was just in the area,

and I thought I might stop by and
see if you wanted to have a drink.

Absolutely. Yeah.

I was just stocking some stuff for
tomorrow, sit wherever you want.

Aria tell you
I ran into her this afternoon?

She mentioned it,

and she also mentioned
the conversation you had,

which is sort of
the reason why I'm here.

Um....(Clears throat)...

I don't know how to say this,
so I'm just gonna say it.

Um... I've been
dating other guys

while we've been
seeing each other,

and I was under the impression
that you were too.

Dating guys?
Women.

Oh.

Uh, no.
Just you.

I find that hard to believe.

And why is that?

Because you're gorgeous
and young

and you have a very full life
ahead of you,

and I've kind of
already lived one.

You're only a couple of years
older than me. Try ten.

Ella, you're interesting...

And smart... And sexy.

( Laughs )

Do you have any idea how hard those
qualities are to find in someone?

At any age? But I know
you're recently divorced,

so if you feel like
you need to date other guys

and see what else is out
there... I... no, no.

It's not that.
I just... it's...

it's just what?

I just I didn't expect to meet
someone that I liked so much

at this point in my life.

I'm not asking you
to move in or anything,

but, uh, I think
we should give this a shot.

I mentioned how sexy you are,
right?

No.
No?

Wren: Good to see you
still have your appetite.

Where are you going?

To put my leg up.

Here. Hold onto me.

There we go.

That's it.

Hanna...

Look, it's getting really late.

You should probably go.

You really saved me tonight.

Anytime.

Hey. How ya feelin'?
Hey.

A little bit better.
Good. What was wrong?

I got sick to my stomach.

You seemed fine yesterday.

Yeah, it just kind of
came on suddenly.

How was your night?

Intense.

Um, Maya's cousin came by.

Nate?
Yeah.

Heas really upset.

More like a total mess,
actually.

Kind of like how I was
the other night.

So what'd you guys do?

Talked, mostly.
Mostly?

( Coach's whistle blows )

Let's go, ladies.
Time to hit the pool.

Spencer:
You need to see this.

Hanna: Wait. Noel was there
that night?

So they were still together then.
Yeah. Keep watching.

Oh, my God.

What the hell just happened?

Look.

Han, that could not have been Jenna or Noel.
They just went inside.

Then it must have been Garrett.
It can't be.

He was arrested at my house
at midnight.

So what does that mean? It means
that none of them killed Maya.

News anchor:
With jury selection about to begin,

citizens of Rosewood
are bracing for a trial

that is certain to garner
an abundance of attention

from both local residents
and the media.

For more on the story,
here's Lisa Cochran.

Cochrawe're waiting for Veronica
Hastings to make a statement.

It was reported earlier that she was
going to speak on behalf of her client...
