Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 5, Episode 1 - EscApe from New York - full transcript

The PLLs must dodge their dreaded nemesis, "A," while navigating a world with Alison back in it.

Previously
on pretty little liars .

They found ali's body.

( mobile phone ringing )
I'm here still here, bitches.

All:
And I know everything.

Alison.

She is alive
and I can prove it.

Alison is alive?

( door opens )

Surprise.

The cash, passport
and plane ticket,

You need to leave
for the airport in an hour.



Until I know who "a" is,
I can't come home.

Let "a" think you're dead.

Mona played me
like a fool.

She got exactly
what she wanted.

Ezra's still looking
for me, aria.

He thinks that if he saves me,
he'll win you back.

If you're looking
to make a deal...

I know
who killed that girl,

The one you thought
was alison dilaurentis.

Ali, run!

Hey, hey, I know
who you are.

( gunshot )

No.

I'm sorry.



Shh.

( siren wailing )

His pulse
is getting weaker.

Hey, let me go, please.

I heard a gunshot
and I ran up to the roof.

But when I got there,
he was lying on the ground.

Aria, we cannot do anything
to help him right now.

If they think you know
anything about this,

You're gonna spend
the entire night

Answering questions
at the police station.

You're never gonna get
to the hospital.

Spencer's right.

We'll find out
where they're taking him

And we'll get you there.

Folks, could you
step back please?

( siren wailing )

♪ got a secret

♪ can you keep it?

♪ swear this one you'll save

in your pocket ♪

then I know you ♪

Paramedic: Priority one.
Mid-20s, male.

Single gsw to the abdomen.

Last pulse was 142.
Systolic 80.

( indistinct chatter )

( indistinct chatter )

He's herniating.
Get him to the or.

Spencer: You know
what to say, right?

Don't stay on the line a second
longer than you have to.

It's the strongest one
they had.

Are you sure
you want to do this?

Ezra just saved my life.

And he probably
saved yours, too.

Hanna's right.

There's no way
my mom made that jump.

She's not "a."
but ezra knows who is.

Look, em, the plan was to
get ali out of town tonight,

But now that we know
that "a's" after ezra...

I get that "a" wants
to shut ezra up,

Okay,
but ali's still a target.

Can't we think
of another way to do this?

If ezra...

When ezra pulls through,

He's going to tell us
who "a" is,

And this thing
is finally gonna be over.

Hanna: Hi, the guy
who just got shot

At bank and hudson
is ezra fitz.

Yeah, I think that
you should send a cop

To the hospital
because I saw what happened,

And I don't think
this was a random thing.

Well, yeah,
but he might not be safe

So you better go fast.

Are they
sending somebody?

Yeah,
I heard her typing.

Look, they're probably
on their way.

Are we sure that
we want to split up?

A wise commander
takes measures

To always
let his opponent react

To the wrong
set of circumstances.

And in 400 bc--

Okay, spencer, we get it.
We're decoys.

We don't need
a history lesson.

There's no art
to this war, spencer.

You've read sun tzu?

Aria: Okay, let's go.

Hanna: Wait.

Just in case.

We'll give you
10 minutes, okay,

And then we're
making the call.

Em, come on.

Look, if you want to get
to the hospital before them,

We have to go now.

We know that "a" is always
one step ahead of us.

Yeah.

Maybe he,
she, it, bitch is.

But you have
to remember that

Ali's been hiding
in plain sight for two years.

She can handle herself.

And if "a"
sees us there first,

Then this could work.

Thank you
for checking in, ashley.

Nobody's getting
any sleep here tonight,

So don't hesitate to call
if you hear from hanna.

Of course.
We'll do the same.

Bye.

All this time spencer knew
alison was alive?

I don't want
to believe that,

Because if that's true,

I have no idea
who your sister is.

The photograph that
detective holbrook showed me

Of the girls with alison
was taken a month ago.

I want to think that that was
the first time they saw her,

Because it makes sense,

That's when it all
started again.

The pills?

The pills and the lying.

It was just like last time
spencer was out of control.

It's so like
ali to do this to her.

Honey, we don't know
anything about

Where alison's been
or what she's gone through.

I'm trying
to reserve judgment.

Mom, alison was
at the center of every mess

That spencer got into.

She's a walking time bomb,

But it's never
ali who blows up.

It's everything and
everyone else around her.

I understand running away.

But to let your
friends and family think

You're dead?

I really thought

It was alison
in that grave.

We all did.

But I saw that picture

And she's very much alive.

I'm not crying for alison.

There is another family
missing their daughter.

And she really is dead.

The police will find out
who that girl is.

It's just
a matter of time.

Mom...

There's something
you need to know.

( car door slams )

( doorbell rings )

I don't understand
how ezra found us.

Maybe
he didn't find us.

I think he was
following "a."

And "a" was following us.

This is what you were
always so afraid of.

That we'd lead "a" to you.

Aria, you know why ezra's
still looking for me.

It's 'cause he wants
to win you back.

Does he have a chance?

Ali, I can't think
about that right now.

I don't even know
if he's alive.

I wanted
to tell you in person

That cece drake escaped
police custody tonight.

We found officer
maple unconscious

On a road
outside of town.

So far
we have not been able

To locate cece
or his patrol car.

I don't understand why you
came here to tell us this.

Cece knows that
alison is alive

And I think she knows
where the girls are.

If she's mixed up in this,

Your daughter could be
in more danger than ever.

So if there's anything

That you haven't told me...

We've told you
everything that we know.

Reporter: ( on tv ) police
have also widened their search

For the four missing
rosewood teens

Who they believe
are in philadelphia

With alison dilaurentis.

The youth went
missing two years ago

And is thought to have been
brutally murdered---

This changes everything.

There's a ton
of debris in here.

I need hands.

He's losing
too much blood.

Clamp that artery.

Now!

Okay.

( rapid beeping )

I'm doing my part,
mr. Fitz.

You got to do yours.

Don't die on me.

This way.

Let's go.

Okay,
now what do we do?

We wait.

Hi, we are looking
for a patient

That was just
admitted, ezra fitz?

I hate this.

Let's just hope it works.

Woman: ( on p.A.)
alison dilaurentis,

Please report
to the emergency room.

Alison dilaurentis report
to the emergency room.

Okay, you better
get out of here.

Stairs!

( siren wailing )

Woman: Taxi!

( tires screeching )

( honking )

Man: Hey!

( saxophone
music playing )

( metal clanking )

( whispering )
want to play?

It's over.

No. It's not.

Did you really think
we'd let ali

Leave that hospital alone?

We paged alison so you'd
know she was there.

I guess you don't read
sun tzu, bitch.

Hey!

( gasping )

Are you sure that's "a"?

Maybe I'm "a"!

Or maybe it's one of them.

Maybe I'm "a".

( laughter )

( siren wailing )

Cop: Nypd break it up.

All right, folks,
we need you to disperse now.

"a" was one step
ahead of us.

At least we got
"a" away from ezra.

Let's get out of here.

Nurse:
Mrs. Fitzgerald.

We've successfully
removed the bullet

But arterial
damage is extensive.

Yes, that's right.

Nurse: Yes.

You need to stay
on top of this.

We're mobilizing.

They're not
in philadelphia...

They're in new york.

You said there'd be
more people here.

They're coming.

You scared me.

I can't keep this
a secret anymore.

I want to tell
holbrook the truth.

When spencer finds out,

She'll have
a reason to come home.

Your mother can never know
what you told me.

( phone ringing )

This is holbrook.

Woman: A detective
from the nypd is on the line.

Put him through.

We've got a lot
going on here tonight.

What can I help you with?

Why would a shooting
in new york involve us?

Okay, I'll look into him
and get back to you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry
you lost that bitch,

But you did get
"a" out of here.

Is ezra out of surgery?

I heard them tell ezra's mom
that the bullet

Traveled up and hit...

She's getting on a plane,
but she's in sydney.

And there's nobody here
for him but me.

Hanna: Do you want us
to come there?

No.

No, so far
I'm blending in,

But I think
with the five of us,

It might be
waving a red flag.

Once he's out of surgery,

It's still gonna take him
a few hours to wake up.

We need to find
somewhere to go.

Call us as soon
as you hear anything.

I will.

Guys, promise me
you'll be safe.

Don't worry about us, aria.

We'll be okay.
We promise.

Bye.

If "a" can't
get to ezra,

You're the available
target tonight.

Yeah, em's right.

I mean, we can't
just stand out here

In the street like sitting...

Ducks.

I know
a place we can go.

Come on.

Well...

If you wanted to impress
someone with a "wow" moment,

This would definitely be
how you'd do it.

He didn't bring me here
to impress me.

This was kind
of his special place.

So you know somebody
who works here?

Uh, yeah, a friend
of the family.

Well, when you said that
you were gonna take me

To the theater,

I thought you meant
to see a play.

Are you disappointed?

Wow.

I get it.

Get what?

It's hard to explain.

Try me.

God, imagine
being up here,

With all those people
out there who love you.

I think that's called
adoration, not love.

I could be an actress.

Could be?

Well, I hate
to break it to you

But you already are.

The way you
tell your stories

With such conviction.

I think you've
convinced yourself

That half of them
are true.

Well, if you can't
convince yourself,

Why should
anyone else believe you?

You really are my
holly golightly.

Who?

( door closes )

Are you sure
we're allowed to be here?

Who's there?

Oh, I'm sorry,
mr. Fitzgerald.

My apologies.

I was just locking up
on my way out.

No, don't worry
about it, bill.

Have a good night.

Okay, good night.

Mr. Fitzgerald?

That's when I realized
ezra was a rich boy

Pretending
to be a poor boy.

I actually liked him
more for that.

Not because he didn't
want the money,

But because
he totally had me fooled.

I actually thought
that was an asset back then.

Wow.

This is a real gun.

Hanna!

So you think we'll be
okay here until morning?

I've stayed
over a few times.

They don't open up
the place until noon.

( stomach rumbling )

What was that?

Together:
Spencer's stomach.

Sorry, I haven't had
anything to eat

Since a petit four
at the bridal show.

Come on, let's raid
the concession stand.

You think that it's still
gonna be stocked?

Spence, we need
to get you some food.

I'm literally at the point
where I cannot think.

Well, I guess nutty chews
can count as a protein

And gummy bears
as a fruit.

I don't care,
I was so hungry

I was about to eat the foam
out of those seat cushions.

I saw that episode.

Me, too.

That lady went through
three couches in a year.

What show is this?

Freaky foodies.

Have you seen it?

Spencer's obsessed.

What and you're not?

We watched that
entire marathon together.

Oh, my god, remember that guy
who ate the dryer sheets?

Ew, that was so gross.

I need to find a better place
to make a call.

Who do you
need to talk to?

I have a few friends
that are gonna be worried now

That the police know
I'm alive.

They've risked
a lot to help me,

I just need to let them know
that I'm okay.

I'll be right back.

Hello.

Ali: Yeah, it's me.

( ali talking
very quietly)

Shana?

Ali sent me
to make sure you're okay.

Look, I get that
you're her loyal companion,

But I don't
need a watchdog.

You don't have
to like me, aria.

But I made a promise,
so I'm staying.

Can I get you something?

No. Thanks.

You look exhausted.

Don't worry.

If you fall asleep,
I'll wake you up

If there's any news.

I'm fine.

Spencer: Is it just me
or does it already feel like

She's shutting us
out again?

Shh.

What?

She can hear you.

She's sleeping.

She's ali.

She's sleeping.

Thanks, han.

It makes sense that ali
had people helping her.

You know, if it were us,
we'd want her to call.

We'd want to know
that she was okay.

That's the thing, em.
It is us.

We're the ones who are
risking everything to help her.

It's not some
random do-gooders

That she's met
along the way.

We just have to wait it out
a few more hours.

Once ezra tells us
who "a" is,

This will finally be over.

From your lips
to god's ears.

When did you
become religious?

My mom's dating
a preacher, remember?

Can you imagine what life
would be like without "a"?

When was the last time
you guys had a hobby?

Never.

I wouldn't mind
taking up a sport though.

Which one?

I don't know.

I've always liked
spencer's field hockey skirt.

You can totally have it.

What about you, spence?

I wouldn't want
to go back to the person

That I was before.

All I cared about
was winning.

And now I just really
want to be happy.

( gasps )

How did you find me?

Well, we don't
just look alike.

We think alike, too.

You took a big risk
coming here.

I didn't have a choice.

Alison, you asked
for my help in ravenswood.

Now I need yours.

So fitz is a fitzgerald.

Are you sure
this is gonna work?

It has to.

I don't have
another choice.

We should be okay
if we do this today.

The cops are still looking
in philadelphia.

You having
second thoughts?

No.

I just realized this might be
the last time I see you.

Don't be so dramatic,
ali.

You know us.

We always find
a way back to each other.

Is this the part
where you guys kiss?

Had to ask.

You better get going.

Thank you.

You'd do
the same for me.

Is ezra fitz
out of surgery?

Nurse: He's in recovery.

( sighs )

What are you doing?

You said that you'd
wake me up.

He's still unconscious,
but he's stable.

Ezra?

( monitor beeping )

Help!

Help!

Help!
We need some help in here!

Hurry!

( indistinct )

Man ( over pa ):
Code blue, we need 123.

Emily:
Where have you been?

Em, please don't
wake up the others.

We're all in this
together, ali.

At least
that's what we thought.

There are some things

You don't need
to know about, em.

Okay?

It's better that way.

That's not a good
enough answer.

Come on.

Some of you may know
each other,

Some of you may not.

But I picked you

Because
we all have one thing

In common,

And that's
alison dilaurentis.

When alison was here,
I wasn't mona.

I was loser mona.

Who were you, lucas?

Hermie.

Hmm.

How about you, paige?

I can say it
if you don't want to.

She called you pigskin.

Man 1: I was pus face.

Man 2: I was newt.

Woman 1: Lez.

Woman 2: Whore.

But you weren't
those people.

That's just
what she called you.

Not who you are.

Sticks and stones, mona.

I'm not afraid
of her anymore.

Well,
maybe you should be.

She's not even back yet,
and she found a way

To break up you
and emily.

There's no way

Ali's gonna let you guys
be a couple.

Exactly what is it
you want us to do?

I want us
to stick together.

There's strength
in numbers.

The bigger we are,
the harder she falls.

I don't think I want
to be a part of this.

I can't protect you
if you're not with us.

We don't have much time.

Ezra was paying cece
for information.

That's why
she was in ravenswood.

So she wasn't ever
really red coat?

No, I asked her
to wear that hoping that

She would distract "a"
so I could turn off the saw.

"a" put you in that box.
Not cece.

She helped me
save your life.

Why does this have
to be a secret?

Why can't you tell
the other girls?

Cece killed a cop, em,

And part of why she did
that was for me.

Look, if she gets busted
boarding that plane,

My face
is on the passport.

That makes me
an accessory.

And now you know about it.

That makes you one, too.

You guys have done
so much for me.

You do not need to go out
on a limb for cece.

I will take the fall
for it alone

If it comes to it.

( footsteps approaching )

Hey, aria's on the phone,
but we can't hear her.

Tell her to call
the house line.

( dialing )

Ezra made it
through surgery,

But I haven't
been able to--

Damn it.

( telephone ringing )

Hello, can you hear me?

Holbrook: Hello?

Alison?

What is it?

The nypd needs
to send somebody

To the fitzgerald theater
on west 44th street.

I think we have a 10-20
on alison dilaurentis.

Oh, pick up.

Come on, guys.
Pick up.

( telephone ringing )

Hey...

You're gonna be okay.

( whispering )

What is it?

Did you recognize
the voice?

No.

Okay.

We can't wait for ezra
to tell us who "a" is.

We have to get you
to the airport.

You can still
use that passport

And that ticket
that noel gave you, right?

I don't have it anymore.

What?

( whispering )

I gave away my get out
of town free card

To someone who needed it
more than I did.

Ali, who needs more help
than you do right now?

It doesn't matter.

It does to us.

Look, ali, either you
trust us or you don't.

No more secrets, ali.

You were wrong before.

They didn't
keep us together.

We can argue
about this in the cab.

Okay?
Let's grab our stuff and go.

Spencer: Come on.

Emily:
But we have to hurry.

Who's out there?

Couldn't have picked
a better place

To end your story.

Shana?

Shana?

I thought I locked you
all together at the lodge.

But I guess you were late
to the party, alison.

So much for fighting fire
with fire.

Put the gun down, shana.

Get back, spencer.

Get back.

I trusted you, shana.

You once told me
the only way to trust

Someone was to not ask
too many questions.

And then you sent me
to rosewood to ask questions.

Move.

Shana.

Why--

Why would you
turn on me like this?

I got so many answers
from all the people you hurt.

Your own mother
was afraid of you.

Get back!

Ali's made mistakes,

Okay, shana,
but what makes you better?

You're sick, shana.

Like mona was,
but we can get you help.

I'm not mona.
This isn't a game.

So what is it?

Justice.

Spencer: For who?

Jenna.

You fell in love
with her.

You have no idea
who she is.

We never meant--

Get back
or I'll blow your head off!

What did you
call it once, ali?

A happy accident?

Jenna doesn't love you,
shana.

She's playing you.

That's what she does.

No, that's what you do.

So what?

She's the mastermind
and you're her henchman?

Jenna doesn't even know
I'm here.

And she'll never know.

And once I'm done
with you,

She can finally
get back to her life.

Hey, shana!

( gunshot )

( screaming )

She's dead.

You did what
you had to do, okay?

Emily:
Spencer's right.

She would have
killed all of us.

It really is over.

It's over.

Yeah.

Let's go home.

We can't
just leave her here.

There's been an accident.

Enjoy your flight, sir.

Welcome aboard,
miss darkbloom.

Merci.

( speaking french )
