Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 4, Episode 6 - Under the Gun - full transcript

Previously on
Pretty Little Liars.

This is for you.

It's what you need
to read before

your meeting
with Brenda McGowan.

Lee's going to help you
with college.

Hey, what's this song?

It's not a song that Tippy's
singing, it's a phone number.

Where is this area code,
anyways?

York County.

Did Ali know anybody
from there?

There was a college there,
I just saw it. Cicero.



Yeah, look.

I gave the R.V. to "A"
for nothing.

I think "A" gave you
something real.

We've got to find
Dr. Palmer.

Will you tell her
to stay away from that girl?

- What girl?
- That blonde girl.

- Are you Brendan?
- Yeah. If you want,

I could go through some
of these schools with you.

I didn't think that you were the type
of person who would lead somebody on

- just to get what you wanted.
- You've never had to be charming

'cause mommy and daddy have a safety
net of cash to catch your fall.

What did you say to mom to make
her change her mind about Europe?

The only reason you
want her to go so bad

is so you could start
boffing your teacher again.



That was Mrs. Grunwaltz,
our former house mother.

Legend has it she was fired.

Apparently you couldn't
get anything past that bitch.

Detective Wilden,
he's dead.

Hanna's worried that they're going
to try to pin it on her mom.

They are both going
to need help.

I keep a gun locked in my desk.

It's missing.

It's the gun.
At least I think it is.

- Why do you have that?
- They found it

in my mom's closet.
I have to get rid of it.

Hold it! Don't move.

You won't say why
you had the gun.

Or where you got the gun.

Or why it appeared you were burying
the gun on a college campus.

You want some?

Hanna,

you don't need a lawyer to tell me
whether or not you'd like a cup of coffee.

No, thank you.

How about I tell
you what I know?

You were carrying a concealed
firearm without a license.

The gun is
a .38 caliber revolver.

Yours holds six bullets,

but you had only four. Straightaway
you gotta wonder where

the other bullets went, right?

You could be looking at
a third-degree felony charge

for carrying
a concealed weapon.

That's up to
a seven-year sentence.

Hanna, I do not want
to see that happen to you.

Neither do you.
Neither do your parents.

But I need you to think about
who you're trying to protect

and why.

How do you know I wasn't
just protecting myself?

A hunch.

That'll be your mom.

Hanna, we're going.

Her bail's been paid
and her lawyer's on the way.

Come on.
I will walk you out.

They called you?

They're keeping the gun.
For testing.

What kind of testing?

Dad.

The kind that determines
whether your dad's gun

was used to kill
a police officer.

I'll be in touch.

♪ 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 ♪

Well, I thought maybe you'd
be at school today.

Are you okay?
What's going on?

There's no school until
the D.A. calls.

I could get seven years...

Seven years?
For what?

Carrying a concealed weapon,

attempting to destroy evidence.

Murder. I don't know,
whatever they find.

You're not a murderer.

Well, I'm ruining
my mom's life,

so that's gotta count
for something.

Hanna, listen to me.

"A" planted your mom's cell
phone in Wilden's casket.

"A" fished that car
out of the lake.

And two days ago, "A" called
the cops on you.

This is a set up.

God, was that
just two days ago?

Maybe this is it, Hanna.

I think you have to tell your
parents about "A".

No. Em, none of that matters
if my mom pulled the trigger.

She's the one who lied
about where she was the night.

Wilden died, and she's the one
with a gun in her closet.

Hey, Emily.

Em? Are you there?

I need to call you
right back, okay.

What are you doing here?
And why are you wearing that?

I'm on the team.
As of today.

You go to Rosewood now?

Yeah.

So, you just switched
schools mid-semester? Why?

Better swim team,

better chance of a scholarship.

Plus, I didn't
like private school.

I never really fit in.

I'm sorry about your shoulder.
Must suck to be off the team.

I know how much
it meant to you.

You don't know
anything about me.

Jenna's told me a few things.

Looks fun.
Too late to sign up?

I need to know exactly
what you told the cops.

Word for word.

I didn't tell them anything.

I said nothing about your gun,

I didn't say a word.

Yeah, well,
you're gonna tell me.

Where you found it,
and why the hell you took it

to that college.
What were you thinking?

I was trying to protect mom.

Protect mom?
Hanna...

If you took that gun
from my office...

I did not take the gun.

I found it in mom's
luggage from New York.

Shut that thing off,
and come downstairs.

When you called me back
from that sorority party,

I thought you were gonna
tell me that you'd found

the person Ali was
talking to, not that...

Hanna got arrested.

Yeah. Not that.

Where's Emily?
It's not like her to be late.

I don't know, maybe she
got a hold of Hanna.

Yeah, or she could
be avoiding me.

All right, well you need
to apologize or get over it

or do whatever
you have to do, okay?

I don't care who said what
to who, but we need all

brains on board and we're
already down one. You got it?

Aye aye, Captain.

Ugh. Taste this.
It's disgusting.

No, you just spit in it.

Hey, Em.

You talk to Hanna?

Is this mine?

Yeah, but don't.

How is she?

Freaked out. She's waiting
to hear back from the D.A.

about the charges.
Meanwhile, the cops

are running tests on her
dad's gun to see

if it was used to kill Wilden.

They can actually do that?

Yeah. It's called ballistics.

When you fire a gun,
the barrel leaves grooves

on the bullet.
Like a pattern.

And if the pattern of that
barrel matches the bullet

that killed Wilden, then bam,
that's the murder weapon.

And there's more. Shana's back.
Permanently.

She enrolled at Rosewood High,

and took my spot
on the swim team.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the girl
who may have tried

to set us on fire,
run you over, sitting next

to us in social studies.

But why? What does
Shana have against us?

Well, Mona said Shana
was in love with Jenna.

And that they were
both afraid of Melissa...

Who moved to London.

So, Melissa moves out;
Shana moves in.

And Jenna gets a new seeing
eye dog at Rosewood High.

On top of everything,
guess who's in charge

of training the new guy and running
the open mic night tomorrow?

Hey, let me help.

Just sit down, settle in, okay?

I'll deal with it,
my brother knows him.

Hi. First day?

That obvious?

- You're Connor, right? You
play lacrosse with Mike.
- Yeah.

Well, at least
you're better on the field.

I just wish that I could erase
everything from that night.

I'm sorry, too. I should have told
you the real reason why I was there.

Well, how could you? I bulldozed
over every opportunity that you had.

I bulldozed over you.
I bulldozed over

Hanna when she tried
to tell me about the gun.

I'm basically
a human bulldozer.

And now I'm bulldozing
over your apology.

I'm really sorry.

So, you excited for your game
on Saturday? Guilford, right?

Yeah. Mrs. Welch is making
me redo this essay,

I got to get at least a B or
I'll be sitting the bench.

Hmm.

Maybe you could help.

Mike says you're, like,
some writing genius.

Maybe you could just look it over?
Make sure it's in English?

Um...

Yeah, sure.
I could do that.

Great.

Phew.

She found the gun in your bag, Ashley.
In your closet.

Hanna, how could you say that?

Because it's true.

Let her talk.

I'm sorry, okay?

I was looking
for your shoes and then...

They were ruined.
I threw them out.

This isn't about what
she was looking for.

It's about what she found.

You took my gun.

Tom, you have
no idea what happened.

Well, please, tell me!

I didn't kill anyone and I did
not bring a gun into this house.

Then who did, Ashley?

I don't know. I am telling
the truth. I don't know!

If it turns out that my gun was
used to kill a police officer...

- Someone is setting me up!
- Who?

Who would do that?

I don't know.

- I...
- Do you know crazy this sounds?

Guys.

Ugh. Mo' Mona,
mo' problems.

Can I talk to you?

Where the hell have you been?

I'm sorry;
That wasn't a question.

I need to talk to you.
Alone.

You said we were
in this together,

and then you just disappeared.

Whatever you have to say to
Spencer, you can say to all of us.

Have it your way.

I've been tracking down
my missing R.V.

That's where I've been.

Toby took it.
He gave it to "A",

but Spencer already knew that.

She's been covering for him.

You're lying.

I'm really not.

Then you'd better have proof.

Look, I'll take heels over
a hoodie any day of the week,

but just 'cause
I'm not "A" anymore,

doesn't mean I can't recon
your asses when I need to.

So, yeah, I have proof.

Spencer, say something.

It's true.

Mona may not be "A,"

but she's definitely
still a "B."

Did you see that smirk
on her face?

I just can't believe that Spencer
would keep that from us.

You know there was
a reason Toby did this.

I mean, there has to be.
Reason or not,

I can't help thinking Hanna wouldn't be
in this mess if we still had that R.V.

What if Mona had something that could
prove that Hanna's mom was innocent?

Proof that somebody else
wanted Wilden dead.

A video, a photo, anything.

Hanna?

My parents took my cell
phone, so don't call it.

Okay.

Her parents took her phone.

Look, Hanna, we have
to tell you something.

Well, can it wait?
They could pick up any minute.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

You have to tell her
to talk to her parents.

"A" is framing my mom,

all right.
She didn't kill Wilden,

she didn't put the gun
in her overnight bag.

"A" did.
I walked right into the trap.

All right, what Emily thinks...

I know what Emily thinks, but
I can't say anything to them.

Because "A" is threatening
to take down my mom

and my dad if I say one thing
about my mom being framed.

One word, one freaking letter,

my whole family's locked up.

Tom, don't...

Don't call her.

She needs to know this.

She already does.

She doesn't want us
to do anything to help.

Are we gonna listen?

Damn it, Tom, he threatened me.
He threatened Hanna.

I couldn't come up with the kind
of money he wanted to get him

to leave town,
so I took the gun

for protection.

You have no idea
what we've been through.

- No, you can't just show up here...
- You came

to me for money,
and you left with my gun.

Don't act like
I'm not involved.

I was scared, okay?

I took the gun because I didn't
know what was gonna happen.

He grabbed the gun out
of my hands, and I ran.

I swear to God,
I did not shoot him.

- Hey.
- Hello, Caleb.

Oh, Caleb.

Are you okay? I've been
trying to reach you.

Look, I know you're
worried about Hanna,

but you cannot be here
right now.

No, you need to leave. Now.

- No, dad, stop...
- Hanna, please.

She's in a lot of trouble.
The less people

she speaks to the better.

I am not here to question her.
I'm here to help.

You can't right now. Caleb, we
will call you if anything happens.

Just please, go.

I knew that this would happen.

Now, instead of finding out from
us, they found out from Mona.

If we just tell them the truth,
I know that they'll understand.

If we tell them, it's over.

I'll never know what
happened to my mom.

Why?
Why would you say that?

Toby.

I went back to Radley.

I talked to Eddie Lamb. I asked him
all about what Dr. Palmer said.

About the blonde girl.
All of it.

- And what did he say?
Did he mention Ali?
- No.

He knows something,
but he's not gonna tell me.

Neither will my dad.

You spoke with your
father about this?

I tried to.

It didn't go well.

Look, I've run out
of leads, Spence.

But "A" still knows something.

"A" is the only chance
I have of finding out

what really happened to my mom.

Spencer, what are you doing?

Look, I'm not gonna force
you to change your mind,

but I have to fix this,
with or without you.

- Who are you calling?
- I've got to earn back some trust.

Gamma Zeta Chi.

Hi, my name is Spencer...

- I can't believe you copied the Cliffs notes.
- Well, it was the only

thing that made sense.
And I used proper citation.

Yes, I see that. It's right next
to the footnote for Wikipedia.

Connor?

What are you doing here?

I'm helping him
with his English paper.

You going out?

Yeah, what's it look like?

Okay, well when are you
going to be back?

Later.

Did you talk to mom today?

Yep.

Hey, have fun.

All right, so...

Page three. Just because
Faulkner used run-on sentences,

does not mean that you get to.

Is he cool with me being here?

Yeah, it's not about you.

Hanna?

I can't believe that
they let you in.

My dad practically
threw Caleb out the door.

I brought an excuse.

Homework.

Thank you.

Wait, I'm not in physics.

I was counting on your
parents not knowing that.

Must be weird
having your dad here.

I haven't really found a
word for it yet. But yeah.

How are you?
Really.

I'm in purgatory.

A condition of temporary
punishment and suffering,

from which I may never leave.
I looked it up.

Along with everything I could
find on prosecuting minors

and state minimums for
third-degree federal offenses.

That was before they took
away my Internet.

If your mom didn't...

Do it, then it may not
be the gun, Hanna.

Okay, we don't know for sure.

"A" can't tamper with
ballistics evidence.

We don't know what "A" can
and cannot do.

The sooner we accept
that the better.

Look, I'm not just here
for fake homework.

I want the dash cam
footage that Mona gave you.

The one from Wilden's car.

No. Hell no.

You don't even know
what I want it for.

I don't care.
Emily,

my mom is in that video hitting
Wilden with a car, all right.

I should have just listened
to Mona and burned it

the second that
she gave it to me.

But you didn't.

The first half of the video
looks bad for your mom,

but the second half proves that Jenna
and Shana are connected to Wilden.

They carried him off the road
in the middle of the night

and no one reported anything.
The cops need to see that.

It could look like they were
hurting him, and not helping him.

And at the very least, it adds
in two more suspects to the mix.

Look, anything I do backfires.

If I say one word about "A", my dad goes down.
Do you get that?

That's if you say something,
Hanna, not me.

Please, Hanna.
This could be your only chance.

And the cops never have
to know where it came from.

I really appreciate this.

Mrs. Welch is a freak
about references.

I'm happy to help.

This was fun.

I told you Faulkner
wasn't all that bad.

I meant you. It's nice
hanging out with you.

Thanks.

Yeah, next time we ought to do this
over burgers instead of books.

Oh, no. You don't
need that much help.

You'll do fine.

Oh, but have
a great game Saturday.

Go sports, and all that.

I'm sorry, I'm not
interested like that.

Ashley.
Ashley!

You trying to burn
the house down?

It's fine. I'm fine.

No, you're not fine.

What did Veronica say?

They don't know anything yet.

What else?

Ash.

The fact that we
haven't heard anything,

not about Hanna,
not about the gun...

It's not a good sign.

Oh! Damn it!

Just leave me alone, all right?

Just leave me alone
for two seconds.

Just, hold onto this.

Just tell me
it was self-defense.

People could believe that.

I could believe that.

Believe what you want, Tom.

I already told you
what happened.

Hanna wanted
me to give you this.

She also wanted me to cop a
feel on her behalf, but...

Her parents said they would
call me if anything happened,

but I haven't heard anything.

Well, maybe that's
a good thing.

We have the truth
on our side this time.

- Thanks for this.
- Yeah.

Em!

Hey, Emily.

I've been looking for you.
I know who Ali was calling.

At least I think I do.

I was talking to all
of these sorority girls,

and they didn't know anything
about a hidden room,

but a couple years ago,
there was this housemother...

- The Grunwald.
- Yeah.

Exactly. And she would
disappear for hours at a time,

and then all of the sudden,
poof, she would reappear

as if she'd never
left the house.

What if Mrs. Grunwald was
using that hidden room?

What if that's
who Ali was calling?

I don't think the Grunwald
wore board shorts.

Okay, so we got that part wrong.
But this is our chance

to get it right. Mrs. Grunwald
could know who was after Ali.

It could be "A". It could be the same
person who's framing Hanna's mom.

Look, you wanna help Hanna, right?
So, let's go talk

to Mrs. Grunwald today,
okay? You and me.

Spencer, stop. Having Mona's R.V.
could've helped Hanna.

And I'm not going on another
wild goose chase with you

just so you can clear
your guilty conscience.

Look, I want to explain everything,
but I just can't. Not yet.

I know you're trying to protect
Toby, but I really wish

you'd think about the
people you were hurting.

Hey.

Hi. What's up?

How could you do that?

Do what?

Hook up with Connor last night!

What?

Where did you hear that?

Where do you think? I was
just in the locker room.

And you can't...

Excuse me. Hi, I
need to talk to you.

She can't get
enough, can she?

Mm-mmm.

All right, in case you or any
of your friends are confused,

you tried to kiss me, and I pushed
you off, and then you left.

All right?
That's what happened.

That's all that happened, okay?

You can quit
the innocent virgin act.

What are you talking about?

Everyone knows you and Mr. Fitz
weren't just Scrabble buddies.

Excuse me?

How many points
for the word "slut"?

Ms. Montgomery,
you shouldn't be in here.

You still okay on gas?

Yeah.

Is she expecting you?
Mrs. Grunwald?

No.

What happened in there?

Before I came in.

Aria, those guys are jerks. You can't
just let some stupid rumor get to you...

it's not "some stupid rumor" if
there's some truth to it, Ezra.

Look, you cannot be the guy that
helps me feel better anymore.

Don't you get that?

Just stay away from me.
Please.

Do you see a street sign
anywhere?

No. Nothing.

Mommy, come on.

Excuse me.

Sorry, I think we're lost.

DDo you know if Saw Mill
Road is up ahead?

Let's get out of here.

Mona. We need to talk.

- We're talking now?
- Tell me what "A" has on Toby.

'Kay? I need to know.

- Don't we all?
- Mona, please. I want in.

- On what?
- On whatever it is you have going on.

You tracked down your R.V. You
found out about Spencer and Toby.

You've got the fast track on "A",
while the rest have nothing.

I'm not the one pulling
the strings anymore, Emily.

All I have is an empty R.V.

Everything bad that I've done,
everything you've done,

"A" has proof.

One wrong move
and we all go up in flames.

Maybe this time,
we don't get out of them.

- Are you sure this is the right place?
- Yeah, this is the address.

Excuse me?

Hi. We were hoping
to speak with Mrs. Grunwald.

Is she home?

It's important.

There's no one here but me.

And I only deal with
the master of the house.

Well, we must have
the wrong address.

I'm starving.
Let's grab something to eat.

I'm not hungry. I mean, I have
a large pit in my stomach,

- but I'm not hungry.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You definitely need
to eat something.

I'm not driving back to Rosewood
with low-blood-sugar Spencer.

That's worse than
no-caffeine Spencer.

Wow, your girlfriend
sounds awesome.

Mrs. Grunwald?

It was 3 summers ago.

It was all over the news.

Well, I must have missed it.

Well, my friends and I aren't
really sure that she's gone.

Maybe you still
know this person.

I didn't know her alive. I
certainly don't know her dead.

Maybe you only spoke
with her on the phone.

She might've gone
by the name Vivian.

She thought that somebody was after
her, so maybe she was asking for help,

or a place to stay.

I'm sorry,
it doesn't ring a bell.

The girls said you disappeared
everyday for hours at a time

and then you would suddenly
reappear as if you'd never left.

So, I know that it
was you on that phone.

And then one day you were gone.
Isn't that right?

Were you running
some kind of business?

I'm very sorry
about your friend, really.

But I can't help you.

I'm not who you think I am.

Excuse me.

Go away.

Hey, can I talk to you?

Mike, just leave
me alone, please.

- Aria...
- Look,

I'm sorry your whole team
thinks I'm a slut.

I'm sorry about mom going away.
I'm sorry, okay?

I messed up.

I should've known that Connor
was making that stuff up.

Look, I'm your brother.

I'm supposed
to watch out for you.

Stand up for you.

I'm gonna make it
up to you, okay?

Okay?

Where you been?

I didn't do anything.
I just needed some air.

You know, I took the old footpath
behind the Mendez house.

The one that leads to the pond.

You used to take me skating
there when I was little.

Now it's all dried up.

That happens this time of year.

But it'll fill up again.

This is all my fault.

It's my fault that mom ever
got involved with Wilden.

It's my fault
the police found the gun.

God, how could I be so stupid?

I mean, I try to fix things.
And it just...

It just gets worse.

Hanna, I wish you'd come to me.

Yeah.

Well, the way Caleb
described it...

Honestly, dad...

I didn't think
you wanted me to.

She would rather fry the hair
off her head than talk to me.

She could be telling the truth.

She's not.

I know you don't
want to go back home

empty-handed,
but we have to face facts.

You're following a lead
that came from a bird.

Maybe it was never a real clue.

Maybe Alison's grandmother called
that number instead of Ali.

You have to learn when
to let go, Spencer.

Me? I need to learn
when to let things go?

I might be trusting a bird,
but you're trusting "A".

I'm gonna go see what
they have across the street.

You sure you don't
want anything?

Spencer, what is it?

Shana's here.
I just saw her.

That's Jenna's car.

Come on.

- Get in, get in!
- Go, go, go, go, go, go.

What was that?

What the hell was that?

Oh, my God.

♪ If you need my hands ♪

♪ to pull you up
above the earth ♪

♪ Well I will lift you up ♪

♪ to show you just
how much you're worth ♪

Chocolate or raspberry?

'Kay, you can stop
with the sympathy food.

- Hmm.
- Chocolate. Obviously.

Look, if I could've had
anyone else working tonight,

you know I would have.

No, it's fine. Really.

And plus I don't have
anything to be ashamed of.

Says my suddenly wise
younger brother.

Well, if it makes you feel better,
I did put him on garbage duty.

Huh, it does.
Thank you.

Hey.

Any chance you're
still talking to me?

Yeah.

How was the Grunwald?

She said that she
didn't know Ali.

But I think that Shana
got to her first.

You think or you know?

I saw her there.
Shana. In creepy-ville.

What is Lieutenant
Tanner doing here?

Maybe she's into slam poetry?

Emily.

Lieutenant Tanner, hi.

Did my mom tell you
about the event tonight?

Uh-uh. I saw a flyer
up at the station.

But I'm not here for the music.

Can you get someone to cover
you for you for a moment?

- Me?
- Uh-huh.

Um, yeah. Sure.

Good. I need you
at the station.

Alone.
It won't take long.

Is this supposed to be you?

I don't know.

Someone saw you here this
morning putting up a flyer.

An hour later
I find this on my desk.

I didn't write this.

There's a mother's day card
on your mom's desk.

Handwriting's a match.

Did she see this?

Not yet.

Let's say you didn't
put this on my desk.

Who did?

It's probably someone's
idea of a prank.

Some prank.
Framing someone for murder.

Holbrook?

Okay. I'm coming.

We're gonna have
to continue this later.

First Hanna, now Emily.

Don't say it like that.

Like what?

Like one of us is next.

Tell me about Shana.

There's not that much
to tell, really.

I saw her in that town, and
then she jumped in Jenna's car

and she drove away.

We tried to follow,
but we lost her.

No, you didn't.

Hey, stop!
Stop, that's my car.

What are you doing?

Anything you say can
and will be used against you

in a court of law.
You have the right

- to an attorney, if you...
- She didn't do it!

- One will be appointed to you...
- You have to

believe me. You can't do this.
She didn't do it.

Mom! Come one, tell her
that you didn't do it.

That gun was used to kill
Detective Wilden,

And your mother's fingerprints
are on the bullets.

I need you to look after Hanna.

Whatever she needs. Whatever
happens to me, please...

Mom...

I love you.
