Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 4, Episode 21 - She's Come Undone - full transcript

Emily, Hanna and Spencer are concerned for Aria as they watch their friend crumble after learning shocking news about Ezra. Not knowing what is true or who to trust, Aria goes looking for ...

Previously on
pretty little liars.

We're worried about you.

Why?

Have you been taking
pills to stay awake?

The shadow
in the picture is you?

Why didn't you tell us before?

There was always a part of me

That wondered
if that was my fault.

You're just getting out
of a relationship.

I'm completely out, it's done.

I wish you could have told me
what was really going on,



Instead of me
finding out this way.

This is for you.

My job is especially hard
when you realize

That you've turned innocent
people into collateral damage.

Alison is running out of money

And shaun is the only one
who knows how to reach her.

You knew alison.

I was writing a book about her.

That's what I was to you?
I was research?

I swear, I will burn this.

No, I want to know what was
worth destroying everything

We had for.

Did you actually read
any of this book?

A few pages.



Bits and pieces.

Ezra knew who I was
before we met.

He knew who all of us were.

And he knew alison too.

So he admitted to being in
a relationship with her?

Yeah, a brief one.

Then he must be board shorts.

Well, ezra didn't try
to kill alison.

His whole book is trying to
piece together who did it.

How is he gonna do that

When the police
can't even figure it out?

I don't know.

He has a theory though.

And? What is it?

He thinks that one of us did it.

You're kidding, right?

Well, now we know
it's a work of fiction.

Which one of us is
he trying to pin it on?

I didn't get that far.

You didn't think to ask?

Why?

We know that that's not true.

Just because he wrote a book
doesn't mean he's not "a".

You know, he could be using it
as a way to place the blame on

One of us and keep
suspicion off of him.

No, he doesn't need to do that.

He knows that ali's alive.

But he didn't know
that when he started
writing the book.

Guys, listen, ezra's not "a".

He's a writer who found
a great opportunity

To make a name for himself
and he used me.

He used us.

So wait, what are we saying,

That all of that stuff
in that room in ravenswood,

That was just
research for his book?

He's been working on it
for years.

Well, we've seen the
surveillance equipment,

So we know
he's been watching us.

He's probably just hoping
that we'd lead him to alison,

So he could finally get
his big ending.

If he's been watching us,
then he has to know about "a".

I mean, how could he sit back
all this time

And not do anything to help you?

It's simple.

He never really loved me.

♪ 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 know you ♪

♪ won't tell what I said

♪ 'cause two can keep a secret ♪

♪ if one of them is dead?

You all right down there?

I'm a bit jet-lagged.

I just got back from europe.

So do you go to hollis?

Just graduated.

I'm gonna start my
first teaching job.

I love this song.

B-26.

What's your major?

Well, I'm leaning
toward english.

That's what I'm teaching.

And I write, too.

But and so far it's mostly
personal, just for me.

Maybe you'd let me read
something of yours?

Yeah, you'd really want to?

Yeah.

You're smart.
You've traveled.

You have great taste in music.

I'd like to know more about you.

Morning, honey.

Hi.

You want some coffee?

Yeah.

Black please.

Somebody going on a trip?

Yeah. Your mother and I spoke
with dr. Griggs this morning.

And he thinks it would be
best that we get you some help

Before the situation gets worse.

What kind of help?

He recommended a rehab
facility in philly.

Rehab?

I don't need to go to rehab.

Sweetie, I know that
you called his office

Impersonating me to renew
your prescription.

I just needed help getting
through a couple of tests.

We've heard that
before, spencer.

Look, I admit
that I lost control.

Okay, but it's not
like last time.

I've only been taking the pills
for a few weeks.

And how were you even getting
them without a prescription?

Just different people at school.

It's not that hard.

Please, I'm still
applying to colleges.

I can't have radley
and rehab on my record.

All I'm asking is that you
give me one chance

To get off them on my own.

Please.

Okay.

We'll give you the chance.

On the condition that you take
the withdrawal medication

Under our supervision.

I promise.

And you come home immediately
after school every day.

I will.

Thank you.

This is it, spencer.

Next time there won't be
a discussion.

I understand.

Hey, you.

Nice suit.

Do you have a job interview
after school or something?

Not exactly.

Look, I've been meaning
to call you and apologize.

It's just that I feel bad for

You know, what happened.

I should have never
kissed you that day.

Don't sweat it.

Look, it's not that
I didn't enjoy it.

It's just I wasn't in a place
to start something...

Hanna, it's fine.

Okay, I get it.

I just... I don't really
have time to talk right now.

Why?
Where are you going?

Court.

Court?

What did you do?

Nothing.

It's my dad.

Remember the thing with wilden?

Well, he was blackmailing
my dad for a reason

And now the cops are
coming down on him for it.

This is all my fault.

I made you choose
my family over yours.

You didn't make me do anything.

It was my decision.

And if I had to do it again,
I'd make the same one.

I got to go.

Hey.

How are you feeling?

Nauseous, achy, tired.

Other than that, fantastic.

Can I do anything?

No, thank you for asking.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Please.

Let's talk about
anything other than me.

Shana called me this morning.

From georgia?

Did she say why she left?

All she said was
she needed me to drop

Ali's money off to a p.O. Box
in wallingford

Before 6 p.M. Today.

Wallingford?

That's over an hour away.

Yeah.

I don't think
that you should go.

Why not?

One minute she's here
and in the next she's not

And then
she's calling out of the blue

For an urgent money drop.

We know ali needs
the money, spence.

What's going on?

We thought you were
taking the day off.

Need to speak to
ezra face-to-face.

Well, wait, aria.

I don't know where the truth
begins and where the lies end.

We don't think you can get
answers, okay?

And you certainly deserve them.

But confronting him at school
is not the best idea.

Where is ezra?

Do you mean mr. Fitz?

Yeah.
I need to speak with him.

Do you know where he is?

Mr. Fitz took time off
for a family emergency.

Is there something
I can help you with?

Oh, family emergency?

Right.

God, he's a liar and a coward.

Aria, wait.
I'm fine.

Aria, slow down.

I said I'm fine, hanna.

Okay, let me take you home.

I come bearing gifts.

Cronuts.

What's that?

Haven't you heard?

It's all the rage,
it's a part croissant,

Part doughnut.

It's all trans fat.

That's disgusting.

Can I please come in?

I'm sorry
that I ruined last night.

Last night isn't
what I'm upset about.

It's not something
that I'm proud of, toby.

How can I help you, if I don't
even know you're in trouble?

I get it, okay.

And I would be feeling
the same way

But you don't have to
worry about me.

I've got it all under control.

You look like crap.

Yeah, I feel like it, too.

Promise me, you will call me

If you get the urge
to take pills again.

I'm done with that.

And thank you for my necklace.

Hey, stranger.

Hey.

I was starting to think
I wasn't going to see you

Again until graduation.

I know, right?

We're in high school,

We shouldn't be this scheduled.

What are you doing after school?

I don't have practice today.

I have a few errands
I've to run,

And then I've got to go
and visit aria.

She's having a family crisis.

Yeah, I heard she flipped out
in fitz's class today.

Yeah, yeah, she's been under
a lot of stress at home,

But she'll be okay.

So can you slot me in?

Yeah, my parents are
going out tonight,

So why don't I call you

After aria's and we make dinner?

Great.

Do you always carry
that much cash around?

Oh, um...

It's a late birthday present
from my grandma.

I need to deposit it.

It's on the list.

What is she, a stripper?

Why give you that much in cash?

She doesn't trust banks.

Her whole life savings has
been stuck into coffee cans

And cookie jars.
Yeah.

Listen, I have to hand in
my yearbook form

Before sixth period.

But I will see you tonight.

Yeah.

Open up, ezra.

Ezra?

Ezra?

I'm safe for the moment,

Thanks to you.

But you can't tell
anyone you helped me.

Promise me you won't.

Okay, I still don't know
who I can trust.

I know this isn't
what she expected to hear

But mr. Hobbs is
complicit in the crime.

So he gave wilden a little money

For throwing business his way.

He didn't hurt anyone.

It's not a small thing, hanna.

Look, he did it a few times
and then tried to stop,

But wilden wouldn't let him.

That's his version of the story.

When a cop wants to make
your life miserable,

There's not much you can do.

Just ask my mom.

Yeah, I shouldn't be talking
to you about this case.

But you're testifying today.

Right.

Because I'm the one
that connected the money in

Wilden's safe deposit box
to travis's dad.

I need to get to court.

Okay, I'm not saying
he isn't in the wrong.

But wilden was
a corrupt cop and a bully.

That has to count for something.

Don't you agree?

My job is to state the facts,
hanna, not my opinion.

Today aria told me
she caught her dad

Having an affair
with a student last year.

Alison knew about
the affair, too.

Aria and her friends blinded
jenna in a prank gone wrong.

Alison was the instigator.

Possible motive for her murder:

Someone seeking revenge.

But who?
A boyfriend?

Toby?

What's that?

A gift.

Guess it's better than
a needle in the arm.

Don't give "a" any ideas.

I'll take these
and throw them away.

No, I better.

I want to toss it far
from this place.

You still up for
operation money drop later?

I can't let ali down again.

Hey.
Have you talked to aria?

I texted her a while ago,
but I haven't heard back.

Why?

I went to her house at lunch
and she is not there

And she's not answering
her cell phone.

I think I have an idea
where she might be.

What the hell
happened in here?
Oh, my god. Aria.

Hey, are you okay?

Every secret
I told him about ali

And about me and about you guys,

He wrote it down,
it was all for his book.

Aria, if it were me,
I would've burned this

Whole place down.

Come on, we're gonna get you
out of here, okay?

Come on.

Wait, you guys.

This is some of the stuff

From ezra's apartment in
ravenswood.

Shouldn't we take it with us?

Spencer, not now.

It's nothing
we haven't seen before.

Can you grab aria's bag?

Yeah.

Spencer, come on.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I just came to see
how the sentencing went.

You didn't have to do that.

Look, I told you this
isn't your fault, hanna.

I know I didn't have to.

I wanted to.

So how'd it go?

Actually, much better than
we hoped.

Really?
Yeah.

That cop holbrook,
spoke up for my dad.

Said he was a decent guy,

Pointed out
that he had no priors.

He even reminded the judge

That wilden didn't
have the cleanest past.

Wow.

So did they drop the charges?

No, but instead of jail time,
they gave him probation,

Community service.

God, that's great.

I'm really happy for you
and your dad.

Oh, this is him.

We're going to go celebrate.

Can we talk more tomorrow?

Yes, yes, go, celebrate.

Thank you.

For what?

Just thanks.

Pope private eye.

Leave a message, we'll find you.

Depositing the money
in your bank account, huh?

Paige.

What are you doing here?

You followed me?

I know you were lying about

Your grandma
and her coffee cans.

What is "a" making you do now?

This has nothing to do with "a".

Then who's the money for?

I wish I could tell you,
okay, but I can't.

Can't or won't?

Can we not talk about this here?

I told you I'm going
through something.

You've been going through
something for weeks now.

There's a lot of money
in that envelope, emily.

What don't you want me to know?

What is a.D. Incorporated?

Give it back, paige.

Not until you answer
my question.

I told you, I can't.

Well, I can't let "a" continue
to control you like this.

If you won't tell me
what a.D. Incorporated is,

Maybe the police will.

No, you can't take
that to the police, paige.

Why not?

Because somebody
needs that money.

Who?

Last chance, emily, I'm serious.

Wait.

The money is for ali.

She's alive.

Are you feeling any better?

Worse, actually.

The more I think about it,
the stupider I feel.

There had to have been signs.

How did I miss them?

Aria, no one thought he'd be
capable of doing what he did.

He fooled all of us.

Yeah, but you're not the one
who was sleeping with him.

And if it weren't for me,

He wouldn't know things
about you guys.

Personal things that I trusted
him to keep between us.

Aria, he wasn't just getting
information from you.

Do you think that's how
he found out ali was alive?

The grunwald tape?

Yeah, well, it makes sense.

I just... I don't even know

How he would have
gotten the tape

In the first place.

Have you eaten today?

Do you want to get some food?

No.

We can order in.

You can go pick up food, hannah.

I'll be fine to be by myself
for 10 minutes.

Are you sure?

Okay, but

No more torching ezra
until I get back.

I can't believe
you've known all this time.

You never said anything.

I wanted to tell you,
but she begged us not to.

If alison's not dead,
who's in her grave?

We don't know.

Does her family know
she's alive?

The only people
that know are the four of us,

Shana and "a".

Emily, if "a" knows
that ali's alive

And "a" is the one
she's been running from,

Then you're putting
yourself in danger

By communicating with her.

Maybe.

Okay, but she needs us.

Ali used and abused you guys.

Why would you want to help her?

She regrets how she treated us.

Of course she's gonna say that.

She manipulates people
to get what she wants.

She's not like that anymore.

She has faked her death
for the past 2 years.

She's definitely
still like that.

She's a sick person.

You need to let her
family deal with this.

Well, we can't tell her family.

Then I will.

If you do, if you expose her
to the world,

Then you're basically
handing her to "a".

Okay, the person
she's been hiding from

For the past 2 years.

And if I don't,
you continue to be a target.

If anything happens to ali,

I'd never forgive myself...

Or you.

Fine.

I won't say anything.

But you need to do
one thing for me.

What's that?

Cut off communication
with alison.

No secret meetings,

No dropping off packages,
no interaction of any kind.

You can't be serious.

It's the only way
I know you'll be safe.

Hey.
Hey.

Where are you up to
in such a rush?

Oh, just picking something up
for a friend in need.

You know, it's nice

That you care about
your friends so much.

It's a great quality.

Don't lose it.

You know, I was gonna stop
by your office tomorrow.

I was surprised to hear that
you spoke up for mr. Hobbs.

Well, that was
the right thing to do.

Still.

I mean,
not a lot of people would

Put themselves out
there like that.

It's a great quality.

Don't lose it.

Seriously.
Thank you.

Hanna.

Oh, my god.
I'm so sorry.

I don't know
why I just did that.

I'm sorry, I got to go.

Cece told me she stopped

By the dilaurentis house

To talk to alison the night
she went missing.

When cece arrived,
she witnessed a fight.

Hey!

Hey! This conversation
isn't over.

It is over, spencer.

And so are we.

Don't you walk away from me.

Damn it, ali.
I said, stop!

You're way out
of your league, spencer.

Am I?

Are you sure about that?

Why don't you put that thing
down before you hurt yourself?

Cece didn't tell
anyone what she saw,

Because mrs. Dilaurentis
paid her not to.

Mrs. Dilaurentis also
witnessed the fight.

Hey.

Get some rest?

No, I was not resting.

I was just thinking
about the night

That ali went missing.

Spencer, you're supposed to be
trying to relax.

Yeah, I can only remember
pieces of the night

Because I was
taking the pills back then

And the first thing I remember

I was in here with ali
and we were fighting

And the next thing I know
is that I'm out by the barn,

Telling the girls
that she's missing

And I thought
I heard her scream.

Why can't you just stop
dredging up the past

And focus on getting
yourself better?

Is this the private investigator

You hired to follow melissa?

Were you in my desk?

I told you to stay
out of my office, spencer.

Dad, did you hire him to follow

Melissa or me?

Do you think

That I had something to do
with ali's murder?

What I think is that
you're having a tough time

With your withdrawal.

And maybe we should just
call the doctor.

Please don't do that.

Please don't make me feel
any crazier than I already do.

Hey.

Hi, toby.

Hey, mr. Hastings.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, you know, I think
spencer's just been

Cooped up a little too long.

Why don't you guys go
take a walk or something?

I don't want to take
a walk, dad.

I want to know the truth.

Just be you,

Could be back in about an hour
it will be great.

And I'll have dinner ready.

Yeah, let's go for a walk
and get some fresh air.

Okay.

Okay what?

I'll stay away from her.

You mean it?

But I have to drop off
that envelope.

Ali's depending on it
and I gave her my word.

And then you're done?

Yes.

I'm doing this for you, emily.

Because I love you so much.

Galassi agency.

Hi.

Hi, my name is
victoria blackwell.

I work at rosewood high school,

Where ezra fitz works.

Oh, hi.

You're in pennsylvania, right?

Yeah, yeah, I am.

Actually we just found out
about his book

And we wanted to throw him
a little surprise party.

Do you know if there's
a publication date

Set for that yet?

No.

But he's actually here now
discussing it with anna.

So if you call back tomorrow,

I should have
more information then.

Toby.

Is spencer here?

What?

I thought she was with you.

She was.

She asked me to go into the
brew and get some coffees

And when I turned around
she was gone.

Spencer?

I need to talk to you.

Is everything all right?

Do you think that I hurt ali?

What?

Do you and my father

Have some kind of agreement
to keep it quiet?

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Don't lie to me.

Please.

Please, okay,
I can't take any more lies.

You don't look well, spencer.

I'm calling your parents.

Please, it's a simple
question, okay?

Did you or did you not

See me standing
with the shovel that night?

And if you did see me hurt ali,

Then why didn't you
just call the cops?

You're hurting me.

I want you to leave...

Now.

Aria?

Where are you going?

Ezra's moving forward
with the book.

What?

He's meeting with his agent
in new york right now

Discussing a release date.

Release date?
Can you just stop?

I cannot believe
that I actually believed

He was going to destroy the
book to save our relationship.

Now I know
that everything he says

Or has ever said is a lie.

It's a big fat lie.

Why are you going to
principal hackett's house?

'Cause I'm telling him
everything about me and ezra.

What do you mean,
you're telling him everything?

I'm not going to be the only one

That suffers from this, hanna.

Aria, if you tell
principal hackett

About your relationship,

Ezra is not just gonna suffer,
he's going to go to jail.

Are you taking his side?

No, of course not.

Look, I'm not saying
you shouldn't do this.

I just... I want you
to be clear about

What will happen if you do.

Oh, I'm clear.

Aria, look, if this gets out,
it's gonna hurt you, too.

It'll be in the papers
all over town.

Yeah. Do you think I really
give a crap about that?

Look, this is gonna affect
your family too.

Are you sure
you want to do this?

You did the right thing.

Maybe I did.
Maybe I didn't.

So I'll meet you back
at your place?

No, I really want to be
by myself right now.

Aria, I'm not gonna
leave you alone.

Hanna, you are not
listening to me.

I don't want your company, okay?

Look, I know
what you're going through.

I've been through this myself.

I don't want to talk to you.

I don't want to talk to anyone.

I want to be left alone.
Is that too much to ask?

Okay.

You beat me back.

Are you still up for cooking

Or do you want to go
out instead?

I'm not really that hungry.

It's getting kind of late.

I should probably
check up on aria.

Oh.

All right.

Well, I'll just see you
tomorrow I guess.

Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.

Are we okay?

I don't like being
given ultimatums, paige.

Neither do I.

Good night.

You need help, spencer.

Hey, mike let me in.

Are you going somewhere?

Yep.

Where?

No idea.

What do you mean,
you don't know?

You're just gonna keep driving
until you figure it out?

That's the plan.

I got to get out of here.

Hey, let's talk about this.

I don't want to talk.
Then I'll come with you.

I don't want that either.

Then what do you want?

I want for you to get
out of my way, emily.
