Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 3, Episode 12 - The Lady Killer - full transcript

Previously on Pretty Little Liars

Did "A" send this to you?

- No. I took it out of Paige's bag.
- Why would Paige have it?

She may be "A," Aria.

- Are you Emily Fields?
- Yes.

I'm Maya's cousin Nate.

Maggie: You must be Amy!

- Are you Maggie?
- I am.

I like this age.
It's so sweet.

Malcolm happens to be my son.

I'm not gonna ask you
to explain anything,



because you won't...
I'll find out for myself.

Emily: I think we need to keep
things on a friendship level.

- What about the other night?
- It doesn't change things.

I am going to help you stop "A," and
I'm not asking for your permission.

You and Paige have been seeing each
other on and off for almost a year,

and she's never mentioned
anything about Ali to you?

Are you finished?
Because I am.

( Siren wails )

( Hanna crying )

Shh. It's okay.
It's okay.

So, the deceased
was a friend of yours?

( Sobbing )

Miss Fields, please. I'm trying
to understand what happened here.

Did you know the victim?
Yes.



The deceased was
a friend of yours?

TV: Jury selection is
expected to conclude today,

and defense attorney
Veronica Hastings

made a statement to reporters
this morning.

Veronica: My client
is emotionally exhausted.

But he's relieved to know that he's
finally going to have the opportunity

to clear his name.

How did this get so big?

I mean, it's like all eyes
are on Rosewood.

Okay, how are we gonna do this?
Well,

Emily think she's coming over
here so we can apologize.

But when she realizes
what this is,

she'll probably be more mad
at us than she was before.

I am not looking forward
to seeing that.

In a successful intervention, the
loved one feels safe, not judged.

Aria: Great. Right,

so we'll start out
all warm and fuzzy,

and then we just have to
hit her with the truth.

Yeah. And that's your cue.

Okay, so... Paige was
jealous of Ali,

we know that Paige
was jealous of Maya,

and she was with Emily
that night,

it was easy for her
to set us up.

Right. And she has
the other earring.

So she must have
Ali's body, right?

Yeah.
I don't get it.

If Paige was so into Emily,
why would she drug her?

And then why would
she drug herself?

Hanna, I thought we were all
on the same "A" page here.

We are. This is
a practice run.

Right, okay.

Uh, drugging yourself
is the best alibi ever.

Classic Sharon stone move. Remember
that movie, basic instinct?

No.
No.

She wrote
a murder mystery novel

to cover up a crime
that she was about to commit.

It was actually kind of genius.

Look, remember, I'm Emily here.

We still think that
"A" is working with Mona.

So what is your connection?

Two people who hated Ali.

Maybe one of them killed her and
the other one covered their tracks.

Or are still covering their tracks

by stealing the body
and then pinning it on us.

Yeah. And the ultimate prize is
Paige gets Emily all to herself.

( Knocking ) Hey.

Hey, em.
Emily: Hi.

Hey. You want
some coffee?

Hanna: Em, you know how
much we love you, right?

We love you enough to tell you
the truth, even when it hurts.

This doesn't sound
like an apology.

I had to get you here, Emily.

I'm sorry for lying.

What is this?

It's the three people who love
you the most in the world

trying to get you to see
who Paige really is.

I can't believe it.

The trial's started, and this
how you guys show up for me.

We support you, Emily.
We do.

But we're pretty sure that
Garrett did not kill Maya.

And you think Paige did? Are you
out of your friggin' minds?

When did it become so easy
for you lie to your friends?

Emily, wait.

We found that at the trunk show.
In Paige's pack.

It's the other earring
Aria put in Ali's casket.

We found a lot of other things
exactly where "A" has put them.

Three against one.
"A" wins.

That was exactly
what Paige wanted.

Great. So now what?

Hey.

Em wasn't in first period.

I think she ditched
school today.

Does three messages and six
texts make me a stalker?

This is the part where
you're supposed to reassure me

that I'm just being a caring friend
and Emily's going to be fine.

She was totally right in calling
me out for lying this morning.

So if anybody needs
an intervention, it's me.

What's going on?

I haven't told you guys yet
because Ezra doesn't even know.

Well, whatever it is, we're here for you.
I'll be okay.

Wes let it slip that Ezra got a girl
pregnant before he left for college.

Their mom paid her
to take of it,

but she didn't take care of it,
she had the baby.

It's a little boy.
Ezra has a kid?

Yeah, and I'm not done.
Wait, there's more?

I found the baby's mom...
But I didn't tell Ezra.

So Ezra has no idea?

He thinks she had an abortion.

Aria, you have to
tell him the truth.

Well, for whatever reason,
she doesn't want him to know.

And I pushed him to call her.

When they talked, she didn't
say anything about it.

If he finds out that you knew
and you didn't tell him...

I just really feel like I'm about to
rattle the cage of a sleeping giant.

Do you remember what Ali said
about secrets keeping us close?

She was wrong.

They tear us apart.

( Bell rings )

If you've got something
to say, just say it.

Emily called me
this morning in tears.

What the hell
is wrong with you guys?

What do you want, Paige?

I want you to
leave Emily alone.

She's got a lot
going on right now,

she doesn't need you guys
making it worse for her.

If you think
I'm gonna let you hurt her,

you are underestimating me.

If you don't back down, you're the
one who's gonna get hurt, Spencer.

I won't let you
come between us.

I know who you are.

( Slams locker door )

They think they know you,
but they're wrong.

Do they just not want you
to be happy?

They don't trust anybody.
It's because of "A."

You mean Mona.

If I tell you something,

promise me
it doesn't leave this room.

Emily, you can trust me
with your life.

If you teanyone,
it won't be safe.

There's nothing I wouldn't
do to protect you.

It's not me I'm worried about.
It's you.

Em, what is it?

We think there's
somebody else helping Mona.

Have you told the police?

That night I came over,

the night Ali's body
was taken, "A" set us up.

They had a photo of us
at her grave,

and we look guilty as hell.

So your friends think it's me?

That I'm this new "A"?

That's what you were
arguing about this morning

they'll figure it out.
They'll realize they're wrong.

And in the meantime they'll do everything
they can to keep me away from you.

I won't let that happen.

( Cell phone rings )

I have some family stuff
to take care of.

But I'll see you Monday.

And I'll go to the trial
every day.

I promise
I won't leave your side.

It's voice mail again.

She has to be home.

Maybe we should
just go over there.

So things just went
from worse to worser.

That's not a word.
But continue.

Paige wasn't in Spanish today.
Yo hablo sicko.

What?
She went home sick.

Or is she at Emily's?

I don't know about you two,

but I'm really willing
to take this to the cops.

No! I'm already
on their radar.

For all I know, Paige smeared
my blood all over that anklet.

Well, Emily might be
with Paige right now,

and we all know what
she's capable of.

I think we should
call her parents.

We'll tell them everything. Together.
Spencer's right.

There's strength in numbers.

All right.

( Cell phones ring )

"Stand down, bitches.

Play it my way
and Emily stays safe. "A".

you've got to stop pretending ♪

If we don't hear from Em
in the next hours

I think we should revisit
the idea of telling her parents.

I agree.

This is probably Paige
just killing time

so she can just find a way
to weasel herself out of this.

Hanna. Hey.

I'm just thinking about Emily.

She finally gets over Maya,

and now she's stuck with
some twisted psycho bitch.

It's just another monster
that Alison created.

She's been gone two years, and
we're still caught in her web.

( Tablet beeps )

It's from "A."

"Let's settle this.

Alison's grave. Ten P.M.
bring Maya's bag."

There's an attachment.

It's another picture
from that night.

Paige can bring us down and leave
Emily completely in the clear.

This must have been
her plan all along.

Get rid of us, and then she
can have Emily all to herself.

But she hasn't sent these
to the cops for a reason,

and it's probably because there's
something in Maya's bag that she needs.

Something that proves
that she killed her.

No, we searched
every inch of that bag.

You guys...

Another picture.

"Tell Emily and I'll leave you
holding the bag."

Is that Ali?

Oh, my God.

( Door opens )

What was that?

What was that? Do you think
your mom's home early?

Mom?

There's somebody downstairs.

Was it Paige?

What are you doing here?!
I almost killed you!

With a pink, furry lamp, Hanna?

What are you doing here? You're
supposed to be watching Emily's house.

But there are, like, a dozen
reporters camped out on her lawn,

her mom is home...
she's safe.

We heard from Paige and Mona.

You guys aren't
showing up there alone.

( Cell phone rings )

Hello.
Hanna: Hi, em, it's me.

Please don't hang up.

I want to make sure
you're okay.

Spencer and I are in town,

and there are
reporters everywhere.

So are you okay?

Nate's going out of town
this weekend.

I'm going with him.

That's great.
Where are you going?

The lighthouse rock inn.
He found it online.

Look, I know
it doesn't seem like it,

but we are here for you, em.
You're right.

It doesn't seem like it.

They're three-deep
on the lawn out there.

Yeah, I just got off
the phone with Hanna.

She said that reporters
are all over town.

I know you want to leave, but I really feel
like you need to be with family this weekend.

I will be with family.
Maya's family.

I told you, Nate's parents
are going to be there too.

It's our way of celebrating Maya before
this whole thing becomes all about Garrett.

And Nate's still just a friend?

He wasn't at first,
but he is now.

I really need a friend
this weekend.

Are you sure you don't
want me to come?

Don't worry.
He'll take good care of me.

Hey.

Call me when you get there?

I will.

Oh. Thanks, Angie.

It actually makes me
feel a lot better

knowing Emily's going to be
far away from here tonight.

Yeah, me too.

So I'll pick you up at nine.
Yeah, see you then.

Toby?

No, please, don't let me go.

I'm so sorry for everything...

for all the secrets.

Spencer, I know who you are.

You never have to
say you're sorry.

( Kiss )

( Cell phone chimes )

Ezra?

Love you, babe.

( Knock on door )

Expecting company?

It's probably Mrs. Rosenthal
from next door.

She locks herself out at least
once a week, so I keep a key.

That's sweet.

It's right by the door.

Maggie?

It sounds like a cliche,
but I was in the neighborhood.

Well, please come... come in.

M-Maggie, this is...

My girlfriend, Aria.

Ezra, there's something
that I need to tell you.

It's really nice
to meet you... Aria.

Um... picking up assignments
here and there.

Uh... seems like things are really
starting to come together..

I think it's terrific
that you're writing.

But why did you
give up teaching?

Uh, it's complicated.

( Knock on door )

That has got to be
Mrs. Rosenthal.

You know the truth.
Why haven't you told him?

That's not something
you spring on someone.

What are you doing here?

I was curious. He's
the father of my son.

Yeah, he deserves to know that.

Did you come here to tell him?
Maybe.

I... I'm not sure.

Look, I've been through a lot.

I need some time
to sort this all out.

I've earned it, okay?
No.

No, it's not okay.

If he figures out
that I'm lying to him...

he won't figure it out.
I promise. Please.

Ezra: Well...

There we go.

Wait. So what
you're asking me to do...

there's more to this story
than you know.

For Malcolm's sake, I need to
figure out what's best for him.

I'm not the only one here
with a secret... Amy.

( Door closes )
Ezra: Can't remember her keys,

yet she never forgets dessert.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

I'll get plates for this.

Thank you.

Hey. I thought you
were taking a shower.

Is that a gun?

Where did you get that?

You know what, I don't want to know.
Just get rid of it.

Hanna, this "A"
almost killed my mom.

Okay? I'm not letting you go to that
cemetery without some kind of protection.

Well, if you plan
to bring that gun,

then you can forget
about coming tonight.

It's not just your call, Hanna.

Is it loaded?

Listen to me, okay?

Caleb, I swear to God,
get rid of that thing now

or don't let the door hit you
in the ass in the way out.

All right.

I hear you.

It'll stay there until Monday
and then I'll get rid of it.

Are you good with that?

Hey.
It's gonna be okay.

I promise.

It just feels too easy...

Paige and Mona
giving up like this.

We're gonna put an end
to this tonight.

Now, remember,

there's two of them
and four of us.

( Cell phone rings )

I'm here.

hey, han, it's Spence.

Please tell me that
you have Maya's bag,

because I am so ready
for this to be over.

Change of plans.

Alright.
The app is voice activated,

so it'll record any sound that it hears.

And I can pick up the feed, so I'll
be with you every step of the way.

Caleb, I think that you should
take Maya's bag with you.

It's our only form of leverage,
and if she doesn't admit

to digging up the body,
she doesn't get the bag.

All right. I should
just get out of sight.

Aria:
What do we do now?

We wait for "A."

( Telephone ringing )

Hello?

Distorted voice:
You have one minute. Get out.

( Line disconnects )

Nate?

It's ten-forty. I get
Mona being fashionably late,

but Paige?
Something's not right.

We're meeting "A"
in front of Ali's empty grave.

There's nothing
right about this.

Who are you calling?
Nate.

Hey, Nate, it's Hanna.
Can you give me a call back?

I just want to make sure
that you guys are okay.

Caleb, do you see anything?
Caleb: Nothing.

Not a car in sight.

Looks like
a storm's on the way.

I went for a great hike.

It is dead up here.

Not a soul in sight.

Must be off season.

My parents will be here
in a few hours.

Did you call your mom?

Yeah.
Everything's fine.

Okay, there's a lighthouse
rock inn near Bayhead.

There's one in Belmar, too.

Nate's still not answering.

Maybe Paige sent us here
to keep us away from Emily.

So she could get to her.
( Car approaches )

( Cell phone rings )

It's Caleb.

Hey, where are you going?
I just heard you.

I don't think Paige ever
planned on meeting you guys.

I'm heading to Belmar.

You guys go to Bayhead.

We'll call you later.

We're going to Bayhead.

( Steam hissing )

I brought some DVDs.

I thought we might
watch a movie later.

I'm not, um,
really feeling that great.

I think I'm gonna get
some fresh air.

I'll go with you.

It's really dark out.

( Distant foghorn )

I'll find my way.

You better wear your jacket.

It's cold out there.

( Gasps )

Oh, my God. You scared
me half to death.

Not really...
But I will.

Maya:
I have wanted to give you this in person,

because I want to be there
when you watch it.

I've said so many
wrong things to you.

Emily, this is me taking
the time to get it right.

I've been staying
at Noel Kahn's cabin

trying to figure a way out of
the mess that I got myself into

and I'm not totally sure,

but I think that stalker
from tru north found me,

I thought I saw him
at a party the other night.

This isn't about him,
it's about us.

I'm coming home, and...

If you still
want to be with me,

if I can still count on us,

I know I can get through this.

How could you not
fall in love with her smile?

Why do you have this?
I think you know the answer.

What you don't know...

Is how much I loved her.

Don't look at me like that.

Said, don't look
at me like that!

When I found you at the brew,

hearing you talk about Maya...

I felt so connected to her.

It's ironic.

You took her from me,

and then you gave me
a little bit of her back.

Did you bring me here
to kill me too?

I'm gonna do to you
what you did to me.

I'm gonna take
something from you,

and you are gonna
watch me do it.

( Whimpering )

You're gonna make a right
at the intersection.

How far away are you
from Belmar?

I'm not sure.
A couple of miles, maybe.

Can you just promise me
that you'll be careful?

I promise.
There it is on the hill.

Hanna... I love you.

I love you too, Caleb.

When we kissed,

I thought, "maybe I don't
have to hurt her.

Maybe I can move on
with Emily."

But just like Maya, you were playing me.
That's not true.

I gave you a choice.
You picked her.

( Whimpering loudly )

Looks like
this place is closed.

Spencer: Wait. No.

There's a light on
in that cabin.

I want you to see this.

No. No!

My friends know I'm here.

My mom knows.
They'll find you.

You underestimate me, Emily.

I have been planning this
for months.

They think you're here
with Nate St. Germaine.

And he doesn't exist.

Who are you? Really?

Lyndon.

I'm Lyndon James.

Lyndon, you don't
have to do this.

You can leave. You can walk away.
I won't tell anybody.

I've waited as long as I could.

But I think Jenna
saw me with Maya.

And now with her parents in town
for the trial... Time's up.

( Footsteps outside )

Damn it.

Em!

There's no one here.
I'm calling Caleb.

Oh, come on.

Come on, come on.

Come on. Come on!

Operator:
911, what is your emergency?

Hello?

Hello?
No!

( Shouting )

( Slicing sound )

Caleb: Emily! Emily.

Emily.
( Sobbing )

Emily.

Come here.

It's okay.

( Gunshot )

Caleb! No!!!

Caleb!!!

( Siren wailing )

( Hanna sobbing )

So, the deceased
was a friend of yours?

Miss Fields, please. I'm trying
to understand what happened here.

When I was with Emily yesterday,
I got an anonymous text.

Ten P.M. Saturday, Rosewood
cemetery, or Emily gets hurt.

Did you know the victim?

Yes.

Was he a friend of yours?

He got me before I got there.

I can't do this right now.

Please just let me
talk to my friend.

Officers.

Oh, Han,

I'm so sorry!

( Sobbing )

Han.

Caleb's still in surgery.

How ya holdin' up?

I'm fine.

P.A.: Pam Fields, please pick
up the nearest courtesy phone.

Must be dad.

No, I never reached him. He
doesn't even know we're here.

( Cell phones ring )

Distorted voice: Emily, I owe you one.
( Lines disconnects )

That was odd.
There was no one there.

( No audible dialogue )

Garrett:
I'm here to see my mother.

Mom, he's out of jail?

Emily, I'm so sorry you had
to go through that tonight.

But I want you know that
you helped an innocent victim.

Because of you, Garrett
Reynolds is a free man.

If I knew Nate was
gonna get Garrett out,

I would have stayed in tonight.

You have to get
Maya's cell phone back.

That shouldn't be
too difficult...

Paige doesn't even
know she has it.

(Sighs) It sucks we didn't
get to make that phone call.

Ring ring. "What's Paige doing
with Maya's cell phone?

O-M-G. She must
be the killer."

Oh, well, even the best
laid plans go awry.

( Beep )

I'll see you soon.

Toby (Distorted): I'll take two
tickets for the Halloween train.
