Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 6, Episode 10 - Game Over, Charles - full transcript

Who killed Toby's mother? Who hit Alison in the head with the rock the night she went missing? Who is Red Coat? Who killed Bethany? Who is the Black Widow? Why has 'A' been targeting the PLLs all this time? After years of torture, Alison, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer finally come face-to-face with their tormentor and learn the story of how and why Charles became 'A.'

WOMAN: Previously on
Pretty Little Liars...

They can't punish us.

It's not a punishment.

Really? Being disinvited to your own prom?

We can still celebrate that night
in a quiet, more intimate way.

ELLA: Veronica's offered to host
a small gathering in the backyard barn.

ARIA: Alison went to prom.

SPENCER: She's hoping to meet Charles.

Sara? I can't believe
you'd leave your prom--

This is where I felt
I should be, with you.

Our recipients are ultimately chosen
by my employer.



Would that be Mr. Carissimi?

HANNA: That guy
was definitely hiding something.

Yeah, you think?

You couldn't pick that even if you tried.

(MUFFLED SCREAM)

Emily, this is Ali's phone.

SPENCER: ls that you, Charles?

I know who A is.

His name is Charles DiLaurentis
and he's my brother.

Charles.

Oh, my God.

Please don't do this!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

We may have a visual of the suspect
on the roof.



I'll do whatever it takes to help you!

Look, just because we know who you are,
it doesn't mean the game is over.

Hold your fire.

We have civvies up there.

I said stand down!

Don't do this to your sister.

You spent your whole life
trying to get back to your family.

It's not too late.

(RADIO CHATTER)

You've been such a bitch to us,
but we've heard your story.

We understand.

No!

-(LINE RINGING)
- No answer.

Okay. Try again.

(CELL PHONE REDIALING)

-(PHONE RINGING)
-(BANGING)

- EMMA: Come on!
-(PHONE RINGING)

-(BANGING)
- ASHLEY: Open the door!

ANSWERING MACHINE:
You have reached the DiLaurentis-

Nobody's home.

Ali could be on the roof.

Did anybody check the roof?

Guys, we promised Toby
that we would stay here

until he escorted us out, remember?

The guys are talking to Clark and Tanner.

She's got a lot of questions
for all of us.

Okay, well, how long
do we have to stay here?

We could be out there looking for her.

Em, look, we have to believe
that Charles isn't gonna hurt Alison.

She's his sister.

Charles drove his car
through my house, Aria.

Okay? I believe he'll hurt anybody
who gets in his way.

(RUSTLING AND CLINKING)

Guys.

We're not alone in here.

Are you sure that you saw somebody?

Yeah. I'm sure.

Okay, Aria, there's no way out of here.

(DOOR UNLOCKS NOISILY)

(DOOR CREAKING)

God, Mona, you scared the crap out of us.

I've been following Alison
since yesterday morning.

I lost her when you guys jumped the cop.

You knew that Clark was a cop?

Aria, maybe you thought
he was always happy to see you,

but I could never get past
the bulge in his pants.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

What is that?

I started snarfing Alison
ever since she came back to town.

Yesterday, she started getting texts.

From Charles.

I couldn't get a lock on where he was,

so I coded a program
to decrypt the signal source and...

What is it?

Mona.

It took a while, but...

Okay, Mona,
just finish a sentence, please.

-(BEEPS)
- SPENCER: What is it?

Charles has his own cellular network
and the servers are located at-

The Carissimi Group.

I knew it. Rhys is Charles.

- Em, where are you going?
-l'm going to get Ali.

I'm calling Tanner.

Fine, but I'm not waiting around
to answer a million questions.

Let's go.

Oh, my God!

Dad!

No!

Oh, my God! Dad!

(ENGINE DYING)

Why aren't the cops here?

Wait, you don't think that's Ali's
chopped up body in those bags, is it?

- Hanna.
- What?

Isn't that what we were all thinking?

No!

What is in those bags?

Yeah, and why are they moving them
in the middle of the night?

(SIRENS WAILING)

Here comes the cavalry.

Let's go.

(SIRENS WAILING)

Try his birthday.

Do you seriously think we can outsmart A?

Try Mrs. D's. 12-18.

Wait, you know Mrs. D's birthday?

I'm a self-taught eideteker.

That's not a learned skill,
it's a phenomenon.

Yeah? What is it?

Five days after he took me to the bunker,

Charles gave me
a red, white, and blue cupcake.

But it wasn't Fourth of July.

I kept track of every day I was there.

And every year,
he gave me a cupcake on September 7th.

(TRILLING)

See?

We are smarter than Charles.

It's just a stupid room.

Yeah, but A is not stupid.

Did we just walk inside A's brain?

Yeah, Hanna, I think we did.

(FREQUENCY HUMS)

I think he knows we're here.

Sara?

You okay?

I'm going to wait out here.

It's a little tight in there.

(GASPS) Sara!

(CIRCUITS SCRAMBLING)

(WHIRRING)

ARIA: What is that?

(CIRCUITS SCRAMBLING)

MONA: This is a live feed.

(CIRCUITS SCRAMBLING)

ARIA: It's Alison.

Where is she?

Why would you kill them?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, it's Jason and Mr. D.

We're family!

Who is she talking to?

(HANNA GASPS)

ARIA: Oh, my God, Ali's with Charles.

Don't be so dramatic, Ali.

CeCe?

CECE: They're not dead.

Yet.

How could you do this to me?

I risked everything to help you.

You gave me a passport and a plane ticket.

I'd hardly call that everything.

It was all that I had.

If you keep making this about you, Ali,

it's going to be along night
and we don't have much time.

What is she planning?

(SINGING) Lord help the mister
Who comes between me and my sister

Does she think we came
between her and Ali?

Is that what this has all been about?

Wait, so CeCe is Charles?

She is a she, right?

ARIA: Wait,
shouldn't the cops be here by now?

They're not coming.

How do you think
CeCe escaped police custody?

Sara called Tanner directly, right?

What... Wait, you think
Tanner is working for CeCe?

Yeah, and I bet she told Sara
that we're all just fine.

- Tanner does wear nice shoes.
- Guys, quiet.

CECE: Like, they never understood
how much I loved you.

From the moment Mom brought you home,

I never left your side.

You were like my very own living doll.

Yes. No? Yes, yes--

CECE: And when my dolly was sad,

-it made me sad, too.
-(BABY CRYING)

CHARLES AT FOUR: it's okay, Ali.

I'll go get Mommy.

(BABY CRYING)

Mommy, Mommy!

INFANT ALI: Mama.

(BABY CRYING)

Do you know what makes me feel better?

(BABY CONTINUES CRYING)

-(BABY SCREAMING)
- Come on, baby, I will help you.

Ali, it's okay.

(SPUTTERING)

(SPUTTERING)

What's wrong with you?

(BABY WAILING)

He'!-.

I love you, Charlie.

And I always will.

I love you more, Mommy.

This wasn't the first time, Jess.
We're doing the right thing.

We can'! risk him harming Jason
or the baby.

I never meant to hurt you.

But that's all Dad needed
to get rid of me.

But it was an accident.

He had to have known that.

I'm sure he did.

I don't understand.

For as long as I can remember,

I asked Mom to buy me dresses.

But he wouldn't let her.

So I'd just play dress-up in her closet,
she thought it was cute.

But Dad found out.

And...

They can hear us. They just can't move.

You never visited me.

Not even once.

Thank God neither of us inherited
the bastard's beady eyes.

MONA: That's what CeCe did to me.

My brain kept telling me to scream,
but my body couldn't move.

Jason and Mr. D are living a nightmare
they can't wake up from.

Oh, my God. Jason.

I feel sorry for Jason, but I don't think
I could ever feel bad for Mr. D.

- Same.
- Same.

Mom came to visit me
as often as she could.

Aunt Carol came a couple times.

But...

The next seven years at Radley,

I was almost completely alone.

That must have been awful.

You think?

When I turned 12,

Mom bought me
this beautiful yellow dress for Christmas.

And after that,
every time she would buy you clothes,

she would buy me the same outfit.

Almost like we were twins.

You're beautiful.

Absolutely stunning.

Thanks, Bethany.

Wish we could find a way out of here.

Leaving's easy, Charles.

It's staying gone that would be tough.

My mom always says that nothing's
more believable than a really good lie.

We just need to come up
with a great story.

Something fabulous and devastating
at the same time.

Like...

We got lost in the woods
and we were raised by a pack of wolves.

Amateur.

Does it look like
I could survive in the woods?

You're too pretty for that.

Our parents were crackheads.

They sold us for a fix.

Please, don't make me
talk about it anymore.

It's too painful.

Wow.

You're good.

(DOOR UNLOCKS)

BETHANY: It's that goody two-shoes,
Ms. Cavanaugh.

She can't see me like this.

You have to help me.

Of course.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

(SCREAMS)

Oh, my God!

Bethany, what did you do?

What did I do?

You pushed her.

Freak!

So...

Bethany blamed you
for Mrs. Cavanaugh's death?

No one believed the boy wearing a dress.

I had the most to lose,
so they thought I pushed her.

Even Mom?

She paid off Wilden to make sure
Marion's death was ruled a suicide.

Oh, my God.

They let Toby think
his mother killed herself.

All this time,
he thought she chose to leave him.

That changed him.

Mrs. D sacrificed Toby for Charles.

And now we know who taught A
how to treat people like dolls.

Mr. D abandoned him,

but Mrs. D taught Charles how to be A.

After that,

the doctors gave me a new diagnosis.

Intermittent explosive disorder.

Why is that funny?

'Cause it was an accurate diagnosis.

For that crazy bitch, Bethany.

Next couple of years,
they doped me up on tranqs

till I almost drowned in my own drool.

Literally.

I'm so sorry.

Wait, now Ali's apologizing?

I mean, is she forgetting the hell
that A put us through?

All of us, including her?

Shh.

I think the quacks felt bad
for almost killing me,

so they let me out for a funeral.

Who died?

Charles.

We buried him at Aunt Carol's.

And my mom finally accepted me
as her daughter,

and I thought
I was going to get to go home,

but she took me back to Radley.

As Charlotte.

Wait, so Charles is CeCe,
but CeCe is Charlotte?

(ENERGY PULSING)

- SPENCER: What is that?
- MONA: It's a motion sensor.

(CIRCUITS SCRAMBLING)

- What is it?
-lt's Radley.

The rear west wing,
it's on the second floor.

(ENERGY PULSING)

There's another one?

I thought Ali and CeCe
were the only two red coats.

So who's that?

What is she doing with those trash cans?

SPENCER: That's not trash.

(BEEPING)

Oh, my God.

That's why she's telling us her story.
That's how she's gonna end it.

CeCe's gonna blow up Radley.

I couldn't trust anyone after Bethany.

So I found a way to escape Radley.

Without ever leaving.

Knock, knock.

Mom.

- Hi.
-(CHUCKLING)

I have some fantastic news.

They're letting me out?

Well, sort of.

Either I'm locked in here or I'm not.

There's no "sort of"
being a patient at Radley.

The board has granted you permission
to attend classes at UPenn.

How did you do that? How--

You did it, Charlotte.

By showing them how smart you are.

Now, now. Don't cry.

I'm very proud of you.

(KISSING)

I thought going to school would be fun.

But I already knew
most of what they were teaching.

One day classes were canceled.

Okay, I called in a bomb threat.

I knew it was a risk.

But I needed to see my family.

CECE: Would it kill you to smile?

What's it to you?

Rude much?

Sorry, I...

What?

Can we start again?

I'm Jason.

Jason DiLaurentis.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Next, please.

Do you even go to school here?

No.

But I bet I'll be the prettiest girl
in the yearbook.

You didn't tell me your name.

You're right, I didn't.

I'm CeCe.

CeCe Drake.

I know what you're gonna say.
It's screwed up that I dated my brother.

Did you guys--

Okay, that's just sick, Ali.

Like I said, it's my brother.

Why do you think
he was so mad all the time?

He was so frustrated.

And who could blame him?

I mean, look at me.

I can't believe Mom was okay with this.

Mom didn't know CeCe was Charlotte
until the day we left for Cape May.

How could you risk everything
you've worked so hard for?

Mom, could you please--
Jason and Ali are inside.

If they find out, he'll kill me.

So all this time you've been pretending
to go to school

while you're running around Rosewood
with my children.

I'm your child, too.

I just wanted to be with my family.

Jason asked your father if he could
bring his girlfriend to the cape.

He's on his way home now to meet you.

What would happen
if he found out about me?

Mom, what would happen
if he found out about me?

He thinks you're dead.

You told him that grave was real?

All this time,

I thought you did that for me,
but you did that for you.

You did that to protect you.

What?

You didn't just bury Charles,
you buried your dirty secret.

I lied to him
so that you could finally be you.

- He never would've allowed it.
-(CAR APPROACHING)

(CAR DOOR OPENS)

Okay, I know I'm bringing a lot.

Not now, Ali.

Mom! I didn't know you were home.

This is CeCe.

She was on the porch when I pulled up.
She's lovely, Jason.

- Hi.
- Hi.

You must be CeCe.

I'm Mr. DiLaurentis.

So nice to meet you.

But I can see you all are getting ready
to leave so I'm gonna get outta your hair.

But I thought you were coming with us.

Really?

Oh, my God.
This is gonna be the best summer ever.

I know you went through a lot that summer.

But we had a hell of a lot of fun too.

Ali.

Every time I remember something,

I have to look at it differently now.

We were so close.

Why didn't you just tell me the truth?

I was going to.

I swear.

But that bitch, Bethany,
she ruined everything.

She found out Mom was having an affair
with her dad,

and she lost it.

She stole my clothes,
she knew I had out privileges,

and she snuck out of Radley.

She was going to hurt Mom.

-(GRUNTS)
-(GRUNTS)

(THUD)

No!

(CECE SOBBING)

What have you done?

What have you done?

I swear, I thought it was Bethany.

I swear I didn't know it was Ali, Mom.

- Oh, God.
-(SHOVELING)

You have to forgive me, Mom.
Please, you've got to forgive me.

(SHOVELING CONTINUES)

CECE: She wouldn't look at me.

She wouldn't even look at me.

(SOBBING)

(CIRCUITS SCRAMBLING)

Mona, are you okay?

I killed Bethany.

I'd been sending Ali threats,

I didn't want to hurt her,
I just wanted to scare her,

but that night,

so many people were mad at Alison.

She was all alone in her yard
and the shovel was right there.

It all happened so fast.

You hated Ali that much?
Enough to kill her?

When I hit her,

all I could hear was Ali berating me,

every awful thing she'd ever said to me,
all at once.

But if CeCe hit Ali,

Bethany had blonde hair
and she was dressed just like Alison.

I killed an innocent person.

Bethany wasn't innocent.

Jason told Emily
that he saw you that night.

Wearing my yellow top.

Maybe he saw Bethany or...

He saw you. He didn't see me.

You found her on the highway,
outside of Radley.

That's all anybody needs to know.

I was never in Rosewood tonight, ma'am.

And neither was your daughter.

(RADIO CHATTER)

They're never gonna let me out again.

Maybe that's for the best.

Maybe Dad was right about me.

I understand if you...

Never want to see me again.

Let's just give it some time.

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

(CAR ENGINE GUNNING)

(CAR DRIVING AWAY)

I thought it would take a long time
for Mom to forgive me.

It never occurred to me
that she never totally would.

Hey.

You're supposed to be getting us
out of here.

I am.

-(CIRCUITS SCRAMBLING)
-(EXHALING)

MONA: CeCe's the real Wolf of Wall Street.
She's never made a bad investment.

Oh, my God. He's legit.

CeCe hired Rhys as a decoy.
He didn't even know that he was a stooge.

No one found out
I was in Rosewood that night.

But the doctors at Radley knew
I flew the coop,

so, they took away my out privileges.

And I was alone again.

But then the craziest girl showed up.

She was awesome.

I'd sneak into her room every night
for story time.

She was so drugged up

that in the beginning,
she thought I was you.

I did everything you asked me to.

I'm proud of you.

You are?

You're getting better.

Just keep taking your meds.

I will, Ali.

I promise.

Tell me more about the girls.

I need to know everything.

I was so bummed when they started
weaning Mona off her meds.

Hearing about what she did
to those bitches

was, like, the only thing
I looked forward to.

So Mona did know it was you.

I stopped visiting her
before she snapped out of her drug daze.

I could never trust Mona.

She was Hanna's legit friend
and she ran her over with a car.

Where's the loyalty in that?

I really am sorry.

I know.

Mona wasn't ready to end the game.

And she was like Houdini
getting in and out of places.

Sol made a deal with her.

If she helped me get out of Radley,

I'd play the game with her.

It was like Bethany said,
"Leaving wasn't hard."

But I needed Mona's help to stay gone.

And my first assignment

was making friends in Rosewood.

CECE: Take it from me.

You're always better off
with a really good lie.

Is it just me
or did that sound a lot like...

Alison.

Something wrong?

Oh. No. Sorry.

(EXHALES SHARPLY) You just sound a lot
like one of our friends.

Hope she's brilliant.

What's her name?

Alison DiLaurentis.

You were friends of Ali's?

Me, too.

I'm CeCe.

I was doing my best Ali imitation ever.

You should have seen the look
on those girls' faces.

It was worth a million bucks.

So why did you move back to Rosewood?

Listen, I hate to make tracks,

but I'm already late and my boss
is high-strung and aggressively sober.

Come visit me
at the new boutique across the street?

Oh, and if you ever feel like doing
a little free shopping,

I'd be happy to turn the other way.

I think you're thinking of Hanna.
She's not here.

- ARIA: Okay, that's not just me.
-(DOOR CLOSES)

That chick is freakishly like Ali.

That woman sounds freakishly like her.

SPENCER: I don't know what this is about,
and I don't...

CECE: Mona told me.

Those bitches were happy
that you were gone.

And that... Uh...

That really, really pissed me off.

I mean,

those girls are supposed
to be your friends.

They got what they deserved.

I don't remember telling CeCe about you,

but somebody at Radley did start
sending me riddles and twisted rhymes.

It got me really excited
about playing the game again.

I kept seeing this blonde in a red coat.

Watching the girls, and I...

First I thought I had lost it.

I mean, lwatched Mom bury you.

I knew if you were alive,

you'd show up
if the girls were in trouble.

They all thought
you were flying the plane that night.

But I sent a decoy to distract them.

Ali?

Mona thinks she's about to see you.

She doesn't have a clue.

Sara Harvey was the other red coat?

When I needed her to be.

What?

No way. She's lying.

And that night,
she was supposed to keep Mona busy

while I trapped the girls.

It was the perfect plan.

And then Shana showed up
and all hell broke loose.

(COUGHING)

(GLASS SHATTERS)

MONA: Did anyone see her?

See who?

Alison.

She pulled me out of there.
She pulled us all out.

ARIA: No, you're hallucinating.

She was here. I swear it.

Ali's dead.

I saw her, too.

So did l.

CECE: I knew I wasn't crazy.
You really were alive.

If you really cared about me,

why did you keep playing the game?

When your friends thought
they killed A in New York,

it was the perfect time to end it.

I left the country thinking it was over.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

But the game,

it's like a drug
and I was really good at playing it.

And it felt great to succeed at something.

You attacked me in my own living room.

You were going to leave,
and I couldn't lose you again.

I had to make it seem real,
so you'd pay attention.

I'm not a bad person, Ali.

You almost froze
Aria and Spencer to death.

Almost.

You drove a car through Emily's house.

Yeah, and I almost cut her in half, too,
but is she hurt? No.

Is her mommy hurt?

No.

I only got mad when you didn't listen.

You can't steal people from their families

and lock them up to play with them
like they're your toys.

Yes, I can, and I did.

I know you won't believe me,

but I love all of my dolls.

That's why you're still alive.

I would never let anything
really bad happen to them.

It sucks to kill someone.
Even when they deserve it.

Are you talking about Wilden?

He found out you were alive.

Wilden was never gonna let you come back
and tell your story.

Who is that?

You saw the body, right?

Tell me he can never hurt my sister again.

Wilden's dead.

CECE: Sorry, Emily. But not really.

Oh, my God!

Okay, shut it off.

We all saw Sara when they brought her
out of the dollhouse.

Are we supposed to think
that that was an act?

Em, CeCe's messing with you.

She knows we're watching.
She's still playing us.

That's why Tanner's not here.

Sara never called the cops.

I have to get out of here.

Emily, what are you doing?
You're gonna hurt yourself.

ARIA: Get us the hell out of here.

There's no way to open this door.

(CIRCUITS SCRAMBLING)

Spence?

A always has an escape plan.

Okay, one of these is not like the others.

The lights. They aren't
randomly blinking on that one.

It's a constant pattern.

Are you making yourself comfortable?

- Getting you out of here.
- Whoa.

Stand back.

(GRUNTS)

Let's go. Come on.

Mona.

I have to know how this story ends.

Hanna, be careful.

We will.

(CIRCUITS SCRAMBLING)

Before I saw you in New York,
I snuck home to say goodbye to Mom.

(BREATH TREMBLING)
She... When I got there, she...

When I got there,

she...

Mom. Mom?

Mom?

Mommy? Mom.

Mommy.

Mom. Mommy.

No. No.

No.

Mom. Mommy?

(CRYING) No, no, no, no.

No, no, no! No, no, no!

No.

Come on, you can't leave me. (SOBBING)

You can't leave me. You can't leave me!

No.

Mom was the only person
who ever really loved me.

(ALARM BLARING)

- Ali!
- Ali, where...

Get out of here.

All of you.

NOW!

(CIRCUITS SCRAMBLING)

(ALARM BLARING)

(DEVICE BEEPING)

I'm begging you.

CeCe,

please don't do this.

Damn it.

Don't even think about it.

She's headed to the roof!

Please help me!

- Hey!
- I tried to keep you safe.

-(GRUNTS)
-(GRUNTS)

We may have a visual
of the suspect on the roof.

(sun COCKING)

No!

Charlotte, please don't do this!

(THUD)

Game over.

Wow, you bring enough flip-flops, Em?

It's Malibu.

(CHUCKLING)

Okay, well, you better not come back
from Savanna

talking like a Southerner, you hear?

Hey, you better not come back
from Georgetown talking like a politician.

Yeah.

I heard that Sara got released
from the hospital today.

What happened to Sara that night
wasn't our fault.

I doubt that's how she sees it.

ARIA: You guys.

I can't believe we're actually leaving.

(CHUCKLING)

Well...

Saying goodbye's a lot harder
than I thought it would be.

How lucky am I to have something
that makes saying goodbye so hard?

What brilliant scholar said that?

Winnie the Pooh.

You're gonna be okay?

Yeah.

I spent my whole life
dreaming about getting away from here.

But right now,
this is the only place I want to be.

- Love you.
- Love you too.

- Love you.
- Love you.

- Spencil.
- Bye, baby, Hanna Banana.

(CHUCKLING)

- Bye.
- Bye.

Have fun.

- You, too.
- Than ks.

Drive safe, guys.

- Bye.
- Bye.

(CHALK SCRAPING ON BOARD)

He's coming for you.

- We have to go.
- Now, Alison.

EMILY: We came back here for you, Ali.

So, move it.

-(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
-(PANTING)

It's too late. He's already here.
