Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 4, Episode 1 - A Is for A-l-i-v-e - full transcript

We're not done here!

Previously on
Pretty Little Liars:

Keep pushing.

Told you it would sink.

Are you currently
seeing Ezra Fitz?

No, I'm not.

This might be bigger
than Mona, okay?

She could be working for someone.
Why didn't you tell me this?

'Cause I was being protective.

Are you immediate family?

Umm, no.



Then you need to wait outside.

Those bitches are finally
going to get what they deserve.

You let me believe
that you were dead?

So I could protect you.

There never was
a happy ending for us.

Bye, Ezra.

Those bitches are going to
be at the lodge at nine.

Do you understand?

You have no idea
what's going on here.

Ellie?

Could anyone see her?

See who?

Alison.

Is that...
somebody pulled it



out of the lake.

Get out of my way!

We have to get this
out of here.

You're mine now.

Kisses...
"A."

What the...

Where's Mona?

This was all her.
She set us up.

Okay, let's go.
Let's get out of here.

Come on.

Hanna! Hanna, let's go!

God, Mona, what are you doing?

Saving your mom.

Guys.

Someone's coming.

Hey, they're coming this way.

Hurry up!

Mona!
They're coming Mona, come on.

Hannah, we got to get out of here.
Seriously, come on.

Come on!

Mona, come on.
We have to go.

Mona!

Hurry up!

Got it.

Come on!

There's a report on the lodge,
but nothing about Wilden's car.

Well, I guess the fire
trumps a dead pig.

You can stop staring
out the window, Aria.

The cops aren't
coming to arrest us.

I'm supposed to feel safe
just because you say

it's all okay now?
After everything you've

- put us through.
- Do you think we'd

be sitting here
if anyone saw us?

Wanna know what I think?
I think you're lucky that

we're not beating
the crap out of you.

And I believe you could, Emily.

You really were
the weakest link.

But look how strong I made you.
You should be thanking me.

Okay, that's it.

Em!

You know we all want
to take a turn.

But we won't.

You like games, right, Mona?

So, let's play
one called the third degree.

How did you get
the car out of the lake?

I didn't.

I put the car
in Hanna's garage,

and that was the last time
I saw it.

Shana knew Jenna before
she came to Rosewood.

I think she's in love with her.

They're both afraid of Melissa.

When Cece came to Radley,
I thought she was Ali.

I don't remember
what we talked about.

It was before
they changed my meds.

Lucas gave Emily that massage.

He said you were tense.

I recruited Toby when
he got that job in bucks county.

I didn't push Ian
off the bell tower.

I wish I knew who did.

Mona's gone!

I don't remember
falling asleep.

Did she drug us?

Wouldn't be the first time.

You guys,
she still has that chip.

Oh, Emily, I borrowed your car.

Yeah, I have my own set.

Where'd you go?

Coffee run.
Duh.

Where else did you go?

Americano, one pink.

Dry soy cap.

Super-sized drip,
with three sugars.

And a skinny vanilla for you.

Did I get it right?

I want the chip, Mona.
And I want it now.

And I also got breakfast.

- Multigrain scone.
- I'm not in the mood

to play room service.

I wish I could give
it to you, Hanna.

- But I can't.
- Why not?

I need to find out who Red Coat
is and so do you.

She tried to kill all of us,
so, like it or not,

we are in this together.

Okay, prove it.

Yeah, we want everything
you have on us.

Now.

Mi casa es su casa.

In English.

She's taking us to her lair.

All this for a muddy cop
car and a dead pig?

It's Wilden.

can you keep it ♪

♪ better lock it,

then I'll know you ♪

Oh, my God.

"You're mine now."

I know what the text meant.

"A" has a way to make it
look like we killed him.

If Red Coat's "A," why did
she save us from the fire?

So she could set us up to take
the fall for Wilden's murder.

Yeah, a cat plays
with a mouse for hours

before she actually eats it.

Once it's dead, the fun's over.

So we're Ali's mice?

We're her dolls.

Guys, Alison isn't playing
with us, okay?

She's dead.

♪ This is a bad town
for a such a pretty face ♪

You were on the Halloween train.
Dressed like Caleb.

To think we were this close
to our first kiss.

And to getting
rid of me for good.

That wasn't me.
And I can prove it.

When I took this,
you were already in the box.

And these two put you in there.

Its not gonna happen!

That's Wilden.

Listen to me.

He was the queen of hearts?

Just leave her.
Plans have changed.

Garrett's going to tell
them everything.

There's two of them?

We can't let that happen.

Who's that?

Your sister.

Oh, yeah, that's convenient.
Right before you could prove it.

Wait, Mona, what's going on?

Someone's deleting
all my files!

Mona, shut it down!

I'm trying to.

Alison? Faster.

Come out, come out,
wherever you are.

It's not fair, Aria.
It was Emily's idea.

Faster, faster!

Hey, there!

Hi.

Where did you get these dolls?

They were a present.
Mine's name is Aria.

And that's Hanna, Spencer,
Emily, and Mona.

Who gave them to you?

Your friend, Alison.
She started playing with us

right after you moved in.

Yeah, whatever you need.

All right, I'll be there.

See you tonight.

Was that Caleb? Is he back?

No. It was Mona.

What exactly is it
that she needs?

She just wants to move the RV until
we can all get rid of it together.

I'm driving her there.

I was thinking about last
night, and Mona put her gloves

on before she touched
Wilden's car.

Meanwhile, our prints
are all over it.

She's like
Hannibal Lector smart.

She's been doing this
for a long time.

Who's to say that she's
not still doing it?

Em, you're right. But if
I've learned from my mom,

it's keep your friends
close and your enemies closer.

So, you're going
to be her new bff?

If that's what it
takes to get that chip.

Hey, I thought you
were at work.

Nobody's getting anything
done today.

All anyone can think
about is poor Wilden.

Do they know who did it?

No, but there are witnesses.

I'm not sure exactly
what they saw, but...

You doing okay, Hanna? I'm sorry I
had to leave so early this morning.

We really didn't get
a chance to talk.

Who's that for?

Jessica DiLaurentis.

She stopped by the police
station this morning.

She's moving back.

Wait, back to their old house?

Yeah.

Jason made it seem like
she hated it here.

He said that she couldn't face
all the memories of Alison.

Well, something
must have changed.

I mean, in spite
of what's been going on

with Wilden, she seems
to be in a pretty good place.

That's probably your dad.

Maybe Mrs. D isn't so sad anymore
because she knows what we know.

We don't know anything, Hanna.

I saw who pulled us out of
the fire, Em. It was Alison.

So...

He threw it on this pile.

I'm sure of it.

You think they left
anything inside?

Hey, it's not safe
to go in there.

Spencer?

Spence?

What?

We shouldn't be in here.

Well, we are.
So, we might as well look.

And what are we looking for?

Red coat.

I don't
think she's in here.

What if it was Ali?

And what if she brought
us here because...

She's ready to come home.

She pulls everybody out
and then takes off?

Because she knows
it isn't safe?

It's possible.

Well, yeah, if you're not taking
into account that

she died two years ago.
Sure, it's possible.

Toby?

I don't think we're
in here alone.

Emily?

It feels like home when
you see a friendly face.

Hi.

Uh, this is for you.
It's from my mom.

Tell her I said thank you and I look
forward to having her over for tea

as soon as I'm settled in.
I will.

Is Jason back, too?

He's down South.
Renovating grandma D's place.

It's a beautiful house,
but she let things go.

And it smells like old people.

Ali hated that smell.

It's good to hear
someone say her name.

People avoid it.
They're trying to be polite.

But it's not nice.
It's weak.

No, no, no. That's fragile.
I'll move those.

Emily, would you mind
helping with these?

Sure.

Can you set that on the bed?

You kept all of her things?

I think that's what
she would have wanted.

She's building
a shrine to Ali.

Or Ali wants her old room back.

I know how real it feels
when you think you see her.

Maybe that's just
because none of us

want to let go of her.

Imagine how Mrs. D.
must feel.

I think we're here.

Where's here?

Some creepy farm in
the middle of nowhere.

Okay. Be careful, okay?

If I'm not back by midnight,
send a search party.

Thanks for helping me.

We're in this together now,
right?

Kind of like old times.

That should do it.

Are you sure it's safe in here?

Yeah. I mean, it'll be fine
for a few days.

You know, there's stuff in there
that can bring us all down.

What?

I just haven't thought about you
and me as an "us" for a long time.

Well, anyway...

Hi, I'll get
a cappuccino, please.

Aria?

You know, I could pretend
like I didn't see you,

but I don't want to lie.

This is new territory for us.
What... what do I do?

Do I say "hi" to you?
Do I avoid you?

Well, I'm saying "hi."

We probably shouldn't have a
coffee together though, right?

Yeah, yesterday I might have
said that that would be okay.

Why not tonight?

I got offered a permanent job.

Oh, that's great.

I haven't said yes yet
because it's at Rosewood.

Ezra, you know it's a lot easier to not
see you when I'm actually not seeing you.

I really need this.

I have a family now.

I know. I understand.

And if you want to see
other people...

Sometimes that's
the best way to move on.

I'm not ready for that.

Bye, Mr. Fitz.

He was shot
multiple times.

And the place that he was
killed was a different location

than where the body was found.

Says that time of death...
thank you...

was between ten and midnight.

Which is when we
were at the lodge.

So, we can't use
that as an alibi.

Eat.

And "A" knows that they're going
to figure out fire was arson.

And who would believe that we were
there and we didn't start it?

You see this?
It's a fork.

You can use it
to eat the breakfast

your boyfriend
just cooked for you.

I love the way that sounds.

You calling yourself
my boyfriend.

- Eat.
- I am.

This is perfect.

Not just the food.
You being here.

Is there any more coffee?

It goes against
my better judgment,

but this is your last cup, okay?
Promise.

All right.

So, what does "A" have on us?

Going through
withdrawals over here.

Tobes?

Hey, is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was
just a lead on a new job.

Thank you for breakfast...

Boyfriend.

Paige doesn't know
about Wilden yet.

Not sure how much to tell her.

Aria?

Do you believe in that four
seasons of grief theory?

That you have to live through
a year of everything,

before you can really
get over someone.

You guys have survived so much.

Can't you just wait it out
for a few months?

Just feels like we're back
where we started.

And we can't go back
to where we were.

There's too much at stake now.

You know I totally support
you and Ezra together,

but maybe he's right.

You know, it's senior year. You
should be having some fun.

Look at him.

They're hanging on
his every word.

You've never been on one, but there's
this thing called a double date.

And it's what you do
with your friends

when you can actually
be seen in public

with the person
you're going out with.

Oh, my God.
I am so busted.

Hackett just saw me
staring at Ezra.

Now he's walking over here.

I think that what Mr. Fitz
meant was steinbeck used

the farmer as a metaphor
for his frustration.

Is he gone?

No. And he's
totally watching you.

Let's just meet at your
house after school.

Do you have a minute?

Yeah, sure.

You look tired.
Well, I only

slept for like
twelve minutes last night.

Every time I closed
my eyes I saw Wilden.

And then I saw a pig, and then
I saw Wilden with a pig face.

LA bride surlecou.

Look, I don't think we're waiting
for this "A's" shoe to drop.

I feel like we're waiting
for it to stomp on us.

Careful, Hanna.

When you use words like "us"
and "we," my mind goes to

this place where
I think we could

actually be friends again.

Do you remember
when my dad left?

I did not want
to get out of bed,

but you forced me to go to every
sale that summer at the mall.

Yeah.

I miss my shopportunist friend.

Look, I have a French
study group after school,

but I can cancel,
if you want to hit Macys.

I don't just want it.
I need it.

C'est un rendez-vous.
It's a date.

Coco chanel.

Aria Montgomery,

report to the vice
principal's office.

Aria Montgomery, please report
to the vice principal's office.

I gave you a chance to be honest
with me. And you chose to lie.

I'm not sure what you mean.

I know you're sleeping
with your teacher.

I wanted to believe you. But after
receiving an anonymous correspondence

from a concerned student...

well, I told you that Mr. Fitz
and I had seen each other after

he left Rosewood High...
only occasionally,

but broke it off
before it became serious.

We've called your parents.
They're on their way.

Yes.

I'm relieved to know he's in custody.
Thank you.

You're arresting him?

In this state, it's a felony for a
teacher to have sex with a minor.

Ezra Fitz is going to prison.

Miss Montgomery!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Uh, your mom suggested I have you
bring these home for her to sign.

Sure, I'll take care of it.

And tell her I hope
she's feeling better.

***

It looks incredible...

But it's just so far away.

That's what I love about it.

It's got one of the best swim
programs in the country.

I thought you'd be excited.

Oh, it's an
amazing opportunity.

You have to take it.
You have to say yes.

It's an amazing
opportunity for us, Emily.

I want you to come with me.

To Stanford?

They offered me a full ride.

And you're as good as I am. If they
want me, they'll want you, too.

I just thought I was always
going to go to Danby.

Danby's great.

But you and me in California.

Think about it.

Except for Hawaii, you can't find
a college that's further away

from Rosewood.
Further away from "A."

We'll live together,

and you can decorate
the place however you want.

We'll study on the beach.

Spend weekends
in San Francisco.

And how much fun would it
be to drive across country?

You, me, donuts and diners.

We can start over out there.

Don't you want to live where
you're not afraid of the dark?

In a place where I don't always
have to be afraid for you?

Yes.

Yes?

I want to go.

I want to be with you.

Oh, yes!

Oh!

I really love you.

Oh, come here.

I love you, too.

Want me to help you take
everything upstairs?

Um, no. I'll just put
it away later.

You sure? I don't mind.

How about a soda?

Sure.

So, when Caleb comes back you should
surprise him with that lace camisole.

Maybe with that sheer
Donna Karan barely buttoned.

Good idea.

Has he found his dad?

Um, he was heading
to his aunt's cabin.

And they really don't have
good cell service there, so...

I haven't heard from him.

Maybe he got lucky.

Yeah.

So, how 'bout you?

Who are you wearing
that blue strapless for?

Well, since Noel there
hasn't been anybody.

So, I bought it for me.

That's a healthy attitude.
Yeah.

Thanks.

I should actually
probably get going.

I had fun today.

No, you didn't.

I know you're just pretending
to be my friend again.

It's the only copy.
If I were you, I'd burn it.

You're giving it to me?

Just like that?

Yeah.

I really loved you once.

And I really was your friend.

I had a really great night.
Me, too.

Drive safe.
Thanks.

You two make a cute couple.

Did you slither on down here
to comment on my love life?

I need a favor.

Yeah, wrong address.
You probably didn't

know that Darren
was a friend of mine.

We met right after
I moved to town.

Can't believe he's dead.

Sorry for your loss.

If anything happens to me,
can you give Toby a message?

What would happen to you?

Seems to me like
you're indestructible.

Well, it seems to me
that everyone who saw Ali

the night she went
missing is waking up dead.

Wilden saw Ali that night?

That's what Garrett told me.

Did you burn yourself?

Toby isn't answering my calls, and
I know that you're still friends.

Tell him I never
meant to hurt him.

***

It feels like
the entire town of Rosewood

has come together
to mourn the loss

of Detective Darren Wilden,
one of Rosewood's

most high-profile
police officers.

♪ Didn't know
what this would be ♪

♪ but I knew I didn't see ♪

♪ what you thought
you saw in me ♪

♪ I jumped the gun
so sure you'd split and run ♪

♪ ready for the worst
before the damage was done ♪

Do you really think
"A" put something in there?

With his rotting,
stinking corpse.

Since there's a viewing, you can
assume that he's been embalmed.

And that would suspend decomposition
and prevent the mourners from having

to deal with the rotting and
eventual putrescence of the corpse.

Okay, what the hell
did she just say?

Who is that?

Guys, "closed caskets
keep secrets."

His is open
and exposes yours."

There's something in that coffin
that's incriminating to us.

Are you really so sure about
everything you're so sure about?

Yes. And in about thirty
minutes they're going to open

the casket for viewing, people
are going to walk past to say

goodbye to Wilden.
Whatever "A" has on us...

okay, we didn't kill Wilden.
So what could it be?

Besides another set-up.

Yeah, Em's right.
We shouldn't even be here.

If we get busted for
poking around that casket...

I don't think we have a choice.
We have to look.

I mean, at my grandma's
funeral, they kept the casket

in a private room
until the service started.

Let's just go find it.

Aria was right.

The casket isn't here yet.

Okay, so let's split up. And if
you find it, send out an S.O.S.

Looks like we got
the same "A" message.

Blocked.

Kisses?

Redial?

I'm not leaving here
until you do.

Hello?

Hanna?

Why are you calling me
on my mom's phone?

How did "A" get this?

You're sure it's her's?

If anything happens to my mom...

When was the last time
you talked to her?

This morning.
She called me from the hotel.

That's good.
That means she's okay.

Hanna, there's no way we're
letting "A" bring down Mrs. M.

So, is that what this means?

My mom's "A's" target?

You girls all look so pretty.

Hi, Mrs. DiLaurentis.

Ali would be so proud of you,
Hanna.

You've really kept
the weight off.

Thank you.

Why don't you girls come
and sit next to me?

Who is that?

The lord is my Shepard,

I shall not want.

So, these are your toys?

You don't play with them.

I know you want to kiss me.

You're home already?

Mom.

It's four o'clock.

Are you okay?

I... I'm just a little tired.

No, you're not just
a little tired, mom.

I think something's
going on with you.

Oh...

I'll make you a snack.

Did she just wake up?

I think there's
something wrong with her.

Yeah.

It's called "lazy much"?

I want you to leave.

Seriously?
Yes.

Loser.

Who is that?

♪ I'll keep quiet
you won't even know I'm here ♪

Emily, Spencer, Aria,
and Hanna?

Yes?

I'm Officer Holbrook.
Pennsylvania state police.

My partner and I are
investigating the murders

of Officer Reynolds
and Detective Wilden.

We already spoke to the police
when Garrett was killed.

I read that in the report.

I've actually been reading
a lot about you four.

Wilden had a thing for you.

He had a nasty habit
of harassing us.

I've read through most of his
notes and I agree with you.

His conduct borders
on unprofessional at best.

Thank you.

So why did you come
to his funeral?

We're, uh, supporting our
local police department.

I'm sure it's appreciated.

We'll probably have to bring
you in for questioning.

But remember,
we're the good guys.

Just here to find
out the truth.

"Truth won't set you free,
bitches."

"I'm going to bury
you with it."

"Kisses, A."

Oh, my God.

"A" was there that night?

She recorded the whole thing.
