Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 4, Episode 23 - Unbridled - full transcript

It is a rough time for all of the Liars as Spencer is reeling about the memories from her "lost summer," Aria is still nursing a broken heart, Emily is reeling from Paige's betrayal and ...

Narrator: Previously on
pretty little liars...

It belongs to alison.

There's contact
information there,

Maybe for other people
who are helping her,

Or places to stay.

This is dean stavros.

He's going to be staying
with us for a while.

I'm a drug and alcohol
abuse counselor.

When police were questioning you
about that night,

Why wouldn't you
just tell them?

Last night my
sister was alive.



And it would have
made me a suspect.

What is this?

I was hoping
you could tell me.

I didn't write it.

Somebody else
knows alison's alive

And they told the cops.

Mrs. Dilaurentis?
I'm detective holbrook.

We'd like to have
a couple of words.

Something wrong?

This is a copy of
my manuscript.

I found some stuff out
that could really help you.

Ezra thinks
that "a" is ali's mom.

Spencer:
And mrs. Dilaurentis saw me

Pick up the shovel
and go after ali.



She thinks
I tried to kill ali.

( metal cracking )

Aria:
So wait.

You think that paige
gave that note to the police?

We don't think, we know.

I mean it was her handwriting
and her stationery.

Em, have you spoken
to her yet?

She's in maine
visiting family.

You guys, if the police know
that ali is alive--

Then we're all gonna get
dragged in that precinct.

Honestly, I'm a lot more worried
about alison than I'm about us.

So what are we gonna say
when the cops ask

Whose bones
are in ali's grave?

That we don't know.

You guys, if the cops
are gonna question anybody,

It's gonna be me.

I'm the one who ali's mom saw
with that shovel.

But ali's alive, spencer.

Yeah,
and somebody else isn't.

And I'm the one
who might have bashed

In the skull of a stranger.

Okay, you really
need to eat something.

Hanna,
give her your cookie.

You give her your cookie.
I'm hungry.

Aria, face it.

That's why ali's mom
has been stalking us

Ever since mona put
on a straitjacket.

Okay, let's back up
for a second.

I get that mrs. Dilaurentis
is really scary,

But I'm not buying
that she's the devil.

I agree.

"a" knows ali's alive.

If she knew that why would she
waste her energy torturing us

Instead of bringing
her daughter back home?

Maybe because she thinks
ali won't be safe

Until I'm behind bars.

Okay, you do need
this more than I do.

Look, I'm not saying
she hasn't had help, okay.

I stayed at that house,
spencer.

Yeah, and you were almost
kebob-ed with a knitting needle.

Um, that was me.

I was there when she got
the divorce papers, okay.

She's been through hell.

Yeah, and that may also be
the birthplace on her passport.

I always knew
she was a witch.

Fitz is just confirming it.

Yeah, and we all know
how much we can trust him.

Where are you going?

Home.
And you're my ride.

Can we please go?

Is that jason?

Jason. Jason.

What was that about?

Who knows?
When did he get back?

I don't know.
But he totally saw us.

Come on, hurry.

Hurry.
I don't want to lose him.

Why would he just take off
like that?

What's going on?
It's stuck.

What's that?

What?

♪ 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 ♪

then I know ♪

♪ you won't tell
what I said ♪

Ella ( on phone ):
It's not about money.

It's about getting wasted
in a motel room.

I wasn't wasted, mom.

The friend I was with
was the one that was drinking.

Which friend?
This was one friend?

Because your father
made it sound like

You were hosting
the "rolling stones."

Yes, mom, it was one friend.

Does this have
anything to do

With mr. Fitz
resigning from rosewood?

How did you know
about that?

Aria, what's going on?

Nothing.

I'm fine, honestly.

I just can't really talk about
this first thing in the morning.

Well, would it be
any easier

If I was at the foot
of your bed?

( door opens )

But jason's not answering,
emily.

He's unloading boxes
from his car.

I'm just gonna walk over there
and try to talk to him.

Talk to you later.

You're up early.

Yeah, I have to go talk
to somebody before school.

Okay, I'll grab my jacket.

No, dean,
you don't have to come.

Yeah, I do.

Your folks hired me
to be with you at all times.

Okay, I get it, but this--

My friend, you're gonna
make him very uncomfortable.

Why the pause?

What?

You paused
before you said friend.

How come?

Because he's my next door
neighbor, okay,

And he's also my--
it's complicated, okay.

You're making it sound more
and more inviting.

Dean, seriously, please.

He just
got out of rehab himself.

And if my sobriety-sitter tags
along as a chaperone--

It's my job.

It's annoying, okay.

I'm not going to meet him
behind a dumpster to cook meth.

I'm just walking next door.

Can you just watch us
from the window?

Okay, fine.

Where's the cup?

Spencer,
I need a urine sample.

That's the deal.

Well, I'm tapped out.

Well...

Replenish and we'll wait.

Don't touch that.

Don't touch that either.

Where am I supposed to eat?

Right there.

Shouldn't mrs. Dilaurentis
be doing all the work?

I mean isn't she the one
hosting the stupid bridal show?

It's not stupid,
it's for charity.

And jessica's just
a little distracted right now.

Something's going on.

Have you ever wondered
why she offered you a job?

I mean you guys
weren't even friends.

It's not like I had many

After I checked out
of cell block h.

I'm sorry, I just--
I don't trust her.

And you shouldn't either.

She helped this family
through a very difficult time.

And the least we can do
is be there for her.

Emily: Was the door
slammed in your face?

No. He was just inside
by the time that I got there.

What happened?

Dean and his obsession
with my bladder.

Well, I thought you were
allowed more privileges.

You can't escape the cup,
emily.

Oh, hey.

When did you get back?

Late last night.

I was going to call you
this morning.

But you didn't.

I'll see you later.

So does your phone stop working
when you leave the state?

It was wall-to-wall
family stuff.

My grandparents
are needy and old.

All grandparents are old.

Emily--

You told the police.

You promised me
you wouldn't

And then you went ahead
and told them.

I did it to protect you.

And who's going
to protect alison?

I don't think she needs any.

I see.

So you totally played me

And you got
exactly what you wanted.

Revenge on alison.

This isn't about revenge.

Really?

She's been hiding
for 2 years

From somebody who tried
to kill her.

And by you ratting her
out to the cops,

You just sent out
a search party.

Then let the cops
protect her.

And what if they don't
get there first?

Well, she knows
something's up with ezra.

Wait, you're not gonna
tell your mom

What really went down
with him, are you?

Look, hanna,
don't worry.

I am not gonna overshare.

Talk later, okay.

Hey, how's it going?

Uh, it's going.

Wow, I thought
I had a lot of homework.

It's a job.

The library, they hire
a couple of students every year.

I'm gonna be late.

Excuse me.

Hey, travis, wait.

Look, I'm really sorry
about the other night.

It's not that I didn't have
a good time.

I just--
I've had a lot going on.

It kind of seems like you've
always got a lot going on.

Well, can we have
a do-over?

You, me,
tomorrow night?

We don't even have
to call it a date.

We can just eat at the same time
across from each other.

I can't. I'm busy.

Oh, okay.

I guess I'll see you later.

Jessica:
What are you talking about?

People have to eat.

I thought we agreed
to do finger foods

Before the speeches,
michael.

Ashley, check in there.

A seafood parfait
is not a finger food.

No one wants
to ruin a manicure

Digging shrimp
out of a skinny cup.

Figure it out, please.

Ashley, would you mind going
upstairs to get the place cards?

They're in a bag
in the guest room.

Sure.
Thank you.

Good morning.

May I come in?

Now is not a good time.

What is this about?

I wanted to give you an update
on the investigation.

Can we please just let my
daughter rest in peace?

Mrs. Dilaurentis,
we're not certain

That your daughter
is in that grave.

Well, I am.

When you reported
alison missing,

You gave the rosewood p.D.
A file of family photos.

One of them shows
alison as a young girl

With a break in her right arm.

But the coroner didn't report
any fracture in that bone.

Then the coroner
made a mistake.

Well, the only way
to know for certain

Is if we exhume the body.

That's not going to happen.

I already have
a judge's order.

I'm not here
to ask your permission.

Just to keep you informed.

She bought these yesterday.

Does this look like
a guest room to you?

I...

Voicemail: Bon giorno.

You've reached
mamma gabusi's.

We are currently closed
for renovations.

Jason.

What's going on?

I just needed to get
a paycheck reissued.

No, I'm talking
about last night

When you saw me
and spencer.

I had to get home.
Get home?

Jason, I haven't
heard from you

Since I left almost half my
body in an elevator shaft.

Yeah, I know.

I felt pretty bad about that.

You were just in the wrong place
at the wrong time.

Wilden was after me.

Wait. You think wilden
was behind that?

Who else?

Look, I know it hasn't
been easy for you.

And so does spencer.

I mean we heard you
kind of had a relapse.

But last night
when we tried--

Emily, my mom's got
a lot of stuff

Going on right now, all right.

I kind of need
to keep a little space

Between me and spencer.

Why?

Because I need
to keep a little space

Between her and my mom.

Our family's already being
harassed by the police,

We don't need it
from the girl next door, too.

I'm not excusing spencer,

But we both know
your mom can be--

If you're expecting me
to dump on her,

It's not gonna happen.

Going back to rehab
a second time was humbling.

My mom was there for me.

Well, maybe for you,
but lately with spencer--

Emily, this is not
the first time

My mom thought spencer
was messing with our family.

Jessica:
Alison, don't walk away.

Alison: I don't want
to talk about it.

I want
to know more about it.

I don't.

I want to know
who did you ( indistinct ).

Mom, drop it.

Well, you can't just let
someone walk all over you.

Defend yourself.

How? Okay, I don't
even know who they are.

Well, you said
there were notes.

They're anonymous.

Are they on your phone?
Don't touch that.

Is it spencer?

No.

Why not?

You know, she's always
been jealous of you.

And she has plenty of reasons
to want to hurt this family.

What does that mean?

It means that I won't
allow you to be bullied.

You fight fire with fire.
Smoke her out.

Jason:
Spoken like a true debutante.

How long have you been
sitting there?

So your mother really believed
spencer was after ali.

Look, I don't want
to get into this.

My mom needs me right now
and I'm here to help her.

So this bridal-thingy
sounds like

It's for a good cause.

Do you want to be my date?

( cellphone vibrates )

To mrs. Dilaurentis' party?

No. No.

Does a bridal-show
bring up other issues,

Like ezra and maggie
and their son?

That's not why we broke up.

( cellphone vibrating )

Who keeps calling?
Is that zack?

Yes.

He won't sleep until we speak,
and it is 3:00 a.M. In vienna.

( cellphone vibrating )

Okay, take the call.

You sure?
Yeah.

Hello.

Yes, I'm sitting with aria
and she thinks

You're a very persistent man.

How are you?

Do you miss me yet?

( door opening )

Hello?

Who's there?

It's just me.

Getting some iced tea.

You sleeping
down here tonight?

Well, is that against
your rules?

Don't bust my chops, spencer.

I think I've been
pretty generous with you.

Generous?
How do you figure that?

( cellphone buzzing )

Well, I let you hang out
with your friends last night

And I'm not even questioning

Why your knee
is buzzing right now.

Go ahead.

Answer your knee.

But you should be
talking to me.

Why?

Well, that's why I'm here.

You're not sleeping
and clearly you don't feel safe

In your own house.

Is that because your
parents aren't here?

No. My parents are the ones
keeping me up.

What are you reading?

A book.

Why are your parents
keeping you up?

Because I have huge holes
in my brain

About the summer
that my friend was killed

And my parents refuse
to fill in the blanks.

Can we please talk
about something else?

Love at first fight.

What?

It's a jack dempsey story.

He was a boxer.

Came from a family like mine,

Where fighting
was a second language.

Sounds like that
would put me to sleep.

I'll give it a try.

May I?

Are you making more tea?

No, I'm gonna go to bed.

What? I thought
we were gonna talk.

Yeah, well,
that moment passed.

Aria, what just happened?

Nothing.

You went to vienna
and you found your bliss,

I stayed here
and I got kicked in the teeth.

Night.

Don't do that.
Don't push me away.

You're not even
in this room, mom.

You've got
someone in your life

Who's clearly
more important than us.

Don't be ridiculous.

Nobody comes
before you or mike.

Really?

Where have you been?

Honey, you were the one that
convinced me to go with zack.

You practically
packed my suitcase.

Okay, well,
maybe I was wrong, okay.

And maybe you should
have packed a little less.

Your kids live
in this country.

So are you mad at me
or ezra or yourself?

No, don't make this
a teaching moment, okay.

Oh, but you will be
very pleased

To know that you were right.

And it was
a huge frickin' mistake

Getting involved with him.

So send me an
I-told-you-so card

When you get back to austria.

Goodnight.

Dean?

Um, hello?

Job description?
Get up.

I'm sorry.
I must have fallen asleep.

Yes, you must have
on top of my daughter

Which strikes me as just
a little inappropriate.

Mom, what is going on?

That was my question.

But I don't need an answer.

You can start packing.

I think this arrangement
has lost its appeal.

What?
Mom, nothing happened.

You can spend
tonight in the barn,

But tomorrow
will be your last day.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

I'm sorry I didn't listen
to my husband

And hire the 60-year-old
scottish woman

With the diaper breath.

Mom. Mom, he was just
reading to me.

You read perfectly
well for yourself.

Good night, dean.

Have you spoken
with her since?

No. She's spending
the day with mike.

How about yours?

Disinfecting the house
of all things dean. Thanks.

Look, have told her about
jason's memory?

Spencer, how are we
supposed to trust anything

That jason remembers
from that summer?

His brain was soaked
in corn liquor.

Jason thinks that he saw
cece that night

Wearing the exact
same outfit as ali,

And we all know that
cece's not the blonde

That's in that grave.

So who ended up
in that grave

With the same clothes
ali had on?

Yeah, and if mrs. D is "a,"

Why would she be going
after her own daughter?

She's not going after her.

Ali still doesn't know who tried
to kill her that night.

That's the whole point.
Don't you guys get it?

The person who went after
ali could still be out there.

Okay, if you guys have
plans tonight, break them.

We're gonna put on
wedding dresses for charity.

Are you out of your mind?

My mom found a whole new bag
of clothes in ali's bedroom.

Slow down.

Mrs. D knows
ali's alive, emily.

I mean if she's getting
her new clothes,

Then she must know
where to send them.

Okay, but why does
that mean

That we have to go get
married in her backyard?

Because I'm betting

That the address is somewhere
in that house.

And we need a reason
to be in there

So I volunteered
all four of us.

( clearing throat )

Morning, hanna.

Girls.

Hi.

I'm guessing you told your
friends about the anonymous tip.

Look, I don't want to give
you guys any false hope.

Alison's probably not alive,

But if she is,
after all this time...

There's going to be
a lot of questions,

Starting with who's
the dead girl in her grave.

If you guys have any thoughts,
you know where to find me.

So what time does your mom
want us to be there?

Mom?
What are you doing?

Where have you been?

The brew.

Why are you going
through my drawers?

When I gave dean
his final check,

He said that you've been
sleeping downstairs

Because you don't feel
safe up here.

Is that true?

Oh, god, mom.

Why don't you feel safe?

Is this about
not trusting yourself?

Is there some hidden
stash of pills?

No, mom, I'm not the one
who's hiding things.

That would be you and dad.

Excuse me?

Every time I ask you guys
about that summer,

You two put up a firewall.

How do you expect me
to trust myself

When my own parents
clearly don't?

None of us want
to re-visit that time.

It was harrowing,

Okay?

It was as if there were
two of you living in this house,

The spencer we recognize
and your evil twin.

And we never knew which one
was coming down to breakfast.

That's why I made
your sister promise that

She would never
bring up that

Incident that happened
before she left for school.

What incident?

Mom,

What incident?

Alison?

Sorry, mrs. Hastings.

I was just cutting through
to use our back door.

It's, you know,
past my curfew.

What happened?

Nothing.
I'm-- I'm just--

I'm cleaning up.

Did melissa and spencer
have one of their fights?

I know a crazy scissors
when I see one.

Alison, please,
not tonight.

Look, I can stay
and help you clean up.

I don't want your help.

Just...

I want to understand this,
and I can't.

What is happening to her?
Why is she acting like this?

I wish I knew.

But if I ask her,

She might turn on me.

Go home.
It's late.

Your parents
are probably worried.

You don't remember
any of this?

Well, your father and I
didn't know what to think

When alison disappeared
a few nights later.

We've done everything we could
to protect you, spencer.

We know you're not a monster.

Those pills were poison.

But you need to leave
that summer alone.

Please.

Welcome to "engaged to change,"
a night to benefit--

Save it.
I'm working this.

Where do I park?

Well, I'm not exactly sure--

I'll park it for you.

Wait, you're working this?

You wouldn't catch me
in a penguin suit if I wasn't.

I like you as a penguin.

Is jason even here?

If he came to help his mother,
why wouldn't he be?

Probably because
"chiffon versus taffeta"

Isn't where
he's most helpful.

We're never getting upstairs.

Why?

The house
is event headquarters.

We're not going to be
able to squeeze past

Alison's mother
without her noticing.

I'm lucky if I can
squeeze out of this tent.

Ladies, when you're finished
with your touch-ups,

Please remember to check
the list by the stage.

Spencer, what happened
to your veil?

Oh. I think I must have
left it inside

Go get it, please.

Now.

Okay.

Hi.

I just forgot
my headgear.

Look, jason, I want to be very
clear about something, okay?

I'm here to help
hanna's mom.

I didn't come here to get up
in your mother's grill.

And I have been very
shaky recently,

Because, I don't know
if emily told you, but,

This time last week I was
playing solitaire at ferndell.

It's a rehab clinic.

I know what it is.
Why were you there?

Long story.

But isn't it funny that
you and I always have

More in common
than we think?

I got to get this out
to the tent.

Wait, jason, can I just
ask you one thing?

You once told emily
that you had a memory

Of seeing my sister talk with
cece in your backyard

The night
that ali disappeared.

And you said that
you thought cece was ali

Because they were
wearing the same clothes.

What's your question?

Are you sure it was cece?

Could it have been
another blonde?

Sorry for interrupting.
I...

Dean, this is jason.

Hi.

Hi.

Jason, can we please
talk later?

I just came by to say
good-bye and give you this.

You know
you can call me,

24/7.

Y'hear?

Thank you.

Um...

Um... That jason,
now that was the same guy

That you ran out to see
yesterday morning?

Yeah. He's been gone
for a few months.

He was at clark center.

He told you that?

Yeah. Why?

Clark center's been
closed for, like, 2 years.

Be careful.

You asked your
daughter and her friends

To model the dresses?

Well, we were short on time
and they offered.

They offered or you asked?

I'm sorry, jessica.

I really am sorry.

You guys,
jason wasn't in rehab.

What?

He lied.

Where has he been
all this time?

I don't know. Maybe in
rosewood, helping mommy.

We have to get
into that bedroom.

Aria, that's your cue.

Emily, you're on deck.
Where's hanna?

Uh, I think she went
to the bathroom.

In that outfit?
That's a lot of dress.

All right, girls, follow me.
Come.

Spencer?
Don't wander.

You'll be up soon.

Spencer?

Coming.

Hey, have you seen
mrs. Dilaurentis?

I'll tell her
you're looking for her.

I'm not.
I'm just--

I'm trying to avoid her.

Okay.

You trying to pull off

Some kind
of runaway bride thing, or...?

No, look, me and
my friends are trying to get

Into her bedroom
without her knowing.

So if you see her
could you just, like, stall her?

Okay.

Well, I'm not sure
if she and I have

A whole lot
to chit-chat about.

Please.

Look, we just
have to get one thing

And then we'll be
out of there.

We've been trying
to get upstairs

A couple of times
, but --

Hanna, is this
the sort of thing

That's eventually going
to involve a police line-up?

Hey,

Can you
help me back up?

Yeah.
Just give me a second.

Yeah.

Look, the thing is

There's stuff
I haven't mentioned.

You don't have to tell me.

You had me at "could you."

Are you ready?

Just bring it back.

Keep it coming.

Keep coming.

Keep coming.

Keep coming.

Good.

Travis.

Dude, what the hell?

I am so sorry, man.

That's my bad.

Guess mrs. Dilaurentis and I

May have something
to talk about now.

You're crazy.

You know,
it's a little intimidating.

You in this thing.

Well, get over it.

Is the mother-of-the-bride
allowed back here?

When I saw you
on the runway,

It took my
breath away.

I was kind of glad
your father wasn't here,

'cause when he
starts crying,

I start bawling
and I would have

Embarrassed you even more.

You don't embarrass me.

I know I may never get
to hear what happened with ezra,

But I do know that
he broke your heart.

And if I was to tell you that

Sometimes what seems like
an ending turns out to be--

Mom?

I'm not--

I'm not ready to hear this.

When I met your father
we were teenagers

And I never expected
to be with anyone else.

Never.

But then one day,
things change,

And it's over.

And I'd be lying if I said
it doesn't still hurt.

It does.

But it's like a broken bone
that's healed...

And still throbs
every time it rains.

It doesn't feel like this
is ever gonna go away though.

Sweetie,

It will.

It will. I promise.

Look at me.

I didn't even think
I would ever

Find someone who would
make me smile again, but I did.

And the reason
zack kept calling last night

Was because of you.

He wanted to know
your reaction.

My reaction to what?

He proposed?

Oh, yeah,

In two languages.

Why didn't you
tell me yesterday?

Because I wanted to discuss

Something more
important first.

You.

Mom.

Oh, my god.

Where did your mom
find the shopping bag?

In here.

But obviously it's gone now.

Hey, em.

What's the name of that
restaurant you called?

Mamma gabusi's.
Why?

Get your tablet.

Look at this.

Do you think that ali's
been hiding out here?

No, but it might mean
something to her.

I have an idea.

This is the email address
from the envelope.

I'm trying to get
into the account.

It worked.

Mamma gabusi's
was the password.

What now?

I'm sending a message.

So now what?

We wait.

Alison, you out here?

( metal cracking )

Where have you been?

I was with my mom.

Where is spencer?

We thought she was with you.

( cellphone ringing )

It's blocked.
Answer it.

Hello?

Alison ( on phone ):
How did you find me?

Okay, ali, the police know
that it's not you.

What?

Buried. They know
that's not you in there.

Alison,
does your mother know?

No, don't speak
to my mother, okay?

She can't know anything.

Look, we want to help you,

But you need to tell us
what happened that night.

Then you need to come here.
And you need to hurry.

You guys,
her phone's in here.

That's why she's not
answering us.

Wait, do you think mrs. D
freaked her out and she left?

No, she wouldn't do that.
Not without her stuff.

Oh, my god, are you okay?
What happened?

I saw mrs. Dilaurentis
in the woods

And I tried to follow her.

What?

She was giving
a suitcase to somebody.

And I thought
maybe it was ali.

No, ali's in philadelphia.
We just spoke to her.

Yeah. She told us
where to go meet her.

What?

Spencer, come on,
let's take this off. Let's go.

Will you please help me?

Oh my god.

Are those finger bones?

"what will you do
when the rest of me

Comes out of the grave?"

I'm outside.

Aria ( on phone ): Did you
get a jacket for spencer?

She's still shaking.

Yeah.
Where are you?

Gassing up the car.
We'll be there in a minute.

Okay.

Hi.

Paige, I can't talk now.
Aria's picking me up.

Please hear me out.

I can't hear
anymore excuses.

I don't have any.

I came to tell you,
you were right.

You were right.

I didn't just do it
because I care about

What happens to you.

I did it 'cause I don't care
about what happens to alison.

You're still so angry at her
you'd let somebody kill her?

I love you.

Please forgive me.

I do forgive you.

But I don't think I could
ever trust you again.

What are you saying?

This does not look good.

Good-bye.

What was this place?

Are you sure this is the address
alison gave you?

Yeah.

This is where
she's been crashing?

Em, you okay?

Look, it's probably
a good thing

You dealt with paige
before you see ali.

It wasn't planned.

It never is.

( knocking on door )

Ali?

Alison, are you in there?

( door opening )

What are you doing here?

I'll have the bellboy
get your bags.

( phone ringing )

Woman ( on phone ):
Rosewood police department.

How may I direct your call?
