Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 7, Episode 1 - Tick-Tock, Bitches - full transcript

Previously on
"Pretty Little Liars... "

- We're building a rat trap.
- And you're the cheese.

"Leave my friends alone.
I killed Charlotte."

I didn't wanna
think that's what happened.

There's gonna be a lock
on that box tomorrow.

But it's not what it
looks like. I promise you.

Save your lies for someone
who has time to hear them.

I told Spencer it was okay

if she and Caleb got together.

How did this get so complicated?

You're writing a book with
the guy you used to be



in love with. It's about
his dead girlfriend.

I never stopped loving you.

If I'd just come back

a few minutes earlier.

You're not real.

It wasn't my fault.

Mary Drake is a patient here.

She had a child named Charles.

Your mom and Wilden are dead.

They came back for me.

You're the only man
my daughter ever loved.

I would have done
anything for Charlotte.

- Hanna!
- Han!

"Thanks for giving me Hanna."



"You're free to go."

"A.D."

How could we let this happen?

Oh, my God, poor Hanna.

Try to remember that
it's what she'd want.

No, I don't know if
I can live with this.

I mean, how can we bury...

- There has to be another way.
- There is no other way, Emily.

It was a well thought-out plan
and when it ends up like this

it's called first-degree murder.

Look, Spencer is right.

Come on.

__
Toby, you speak cops.
You should do the talking.

Wait, Toby, your job
is on the line here.

You sure that you
wanna be a part of this?

Are you serious, Spencer?
Hanna's life is on the line.

When you asked me for my help,
I said I was all in. I still am.

Alright, we're wasting time. Let's go.

Guys, hold up.

Alison's not the only
one seeing ghosts tonight.

Maybe she wasn't seeing ghosts at all.

Unless we're under a
body-snatcher invasion

that's a real person.

When they dug up Mrs. D in my backyard

she wasn't just a little bit dead

she was rotting-corpse dead.

Whoever the hell that is, she
was at the Lost Woods tonight.

'If she's a part of this,
she knows where Hanna is'

and I will beat the truth
out of her if I have to.

No, no, no, you can't just walk in there

and start throwing punches.

Just, just give me a minute.

Let me find out why she's here.

And who she is or what she is.

Hi. Officer Cavanaugh.

How can I help you?

I'm the new owner of
the Lost Woods Resort

and I need to report a break-in.

Hmm. I have to ask.

You're a dead ringer for a
woman who used to live here.

Jessica was my sister.

She's Jessica's twin, Mary Drake.

From the Radley file.

She's Charlotte's biological mom.

So why're we still standing here?

She thinks Hanna killed her daughter.

- She's A.D.
- Maybe.

But she's one step ahead of us.

She just bought the Lost Woods

and she's in there filing

a report about a break-in.

- By us.
- Damn it.

"A lie for a lie, an eye for an eye."

"The bell tolls for Hanna."

"A.D."

No! No!

Oh, my God.

Hanna.

No!

No, Hanna!

- Oh, my God.
- Hanna.

Toby.

- Come on.
- Come on.

Be careful.

Oh, my God.

- Hanna.
- Hanna.

- Hanna.
- Be careful.

Be careful.

- Hanna.
- This isn't happening.

She's dead.

Hanna.

Oh, my God. Hanna.

- It's a mask.
- What?

- It isn't Hanna.
- What do you mean?

Oh, my God.

What?

So where the hell's Hanna?

What's this?

You've got 24 hours to give
me Charlotte's real killer

or Hanna dies.

Tick-tock, bitches.

- What do we do?
- Oh, my God.

__

Okay, so my parents are about to board

their post-election victory cruise

so we can make this
place command central.

Look, we've been trying to figure out

who killed Charlotte since she died.

Do we really think
that we're gonna solve

that mystery in under 24 hours?

Yes. We will because we have to.

This is the first time we've
all been working together.

That's what makes it different.

That and a creepy twin.

Mary has to be A.D.

What bigger motive is there?

And she has to be working with someone.

While she was running
around the woods last night

somebody else dragged Hanna
out of that motel room.

Guys, Mona's right. It's
just like Ali told Hanna.

All of us working together
knew what happened to her.

So all of us together can figure out

who killed Charlotte.

I'm sure each one of us

has some idea about who did it.

Don't we?

Is there somebody out there?

No. Please!

Please open the door. You
can't leave me in here.

I'm begging you.

Please!

"Alison."

"Alison."

"Alison."

"No name."

"Mona."

"Spencer."

"Alison."

So most of us think that
Alison killed her sister.

Okay, now we need to
prove she had the motive

and the opportunity to murder Charlotte.

I don't know about a motive,
but she had the opportunity.

Oh, I should go. It's late.

Yeah.

Is that Alison? Looks like her car.

I think that's Charlotte.

That night we thought
that it was Charlotte

but maybe it was Alison.

How do you know it wasn't Charlotte?

Charlotte wasn't wearing
a red jacket that night

and she didn't drive Alison's car home.

Ali loved Charlotte.

I mean, she stayed here
to take care of her.

Why would she do that just to kill her

as soon as she got out?

And Th... there's no motive.

She's been on her best behavior

since she got back, but we can't pretend

the Alison who blinded
Jenna never existed.

Maybe your goody two-shoes
ex became too much

for her to handle.

Maybe she snapped.

Or maybe it was self-defense.

Maybe it was Charlotte
who snapped again.

We all know that she was upset

about Alison and Elliot being together.

Maybe Ali had to defend herself.

I don't care why she did it, okay?

I just, I wanna find a way to prove

that she did it so that
we can get Hanna back.

Okay, well, if the person
who murdered Charlotte

was wearing the red jacket

it'll have Charlotte's blood on it.

We'll go to her house to look for it.

I'm all over Mary Drake.

I think she's the
fastest route to Hanna.

I agree.

So we work together.

She said she was moving into the motel.

All roads lead to the Lost Woods Resort.

Oh, my God, Hanna.

Mona, let me see.

Oh, she looks so scared.

At least she's alive.

You guys, we have to get to her.

But where is she?

We need to find her now.

Here are the keys to Ali's house.

I'm going to Welby. And I'm
not leaving without an answer.

Ali has to tell me the truth.

What the hell is in those bags?

Come on, let's go.

Hey, there's no reason for
all four of us to tail her.

Look, Caleb's right.

Let's head back over to the motel

and find out everything we can

about Mary Drake.

Yeah, sure.

- Can I borrow your keys?
- Yeah.

Here.

Yeah, but you'll need
another thing to push down...

Tumbler? Got it.

Oh, you've gotten a lot better at this.

Yeah, I took a tactical
lock opening course

at the academy.

That's impressive.

It's strange that Alison didn't
know her mother had a twin.

Elliot, almost everything

about the DiLaurentis family is strange.

How do you know that
Mary is Charlotte's mom?

CeCe Drake, Mary Drake.

I just put two and two together.

Oh, this is important news.

And I'm glad you confided in me.

But I'm afraid it's not
enough to help Alison.

Ali thought she was seeing dead people.

This is clear proof that she wasn't.

Emily, since the last time you saw her

my wife's condition has...

... rapidly declined.

I'm afraid she suffered a
complete psychotic break.

- I don't understand.
- Neither do I.

But she is consumed with shame

I believe, prompted by a tragic event

that... that she feels responsible for.

Do you have any idea
what she could've done

that would prompt her to have
such a, a lethal dose of guilt?

- No!
- Doctor, it's a Code White.

No! No! No!

No! No!

Get away from me!

No! No!

No!

- Books.
- And more books.

These are all written in German.

I think most of these
are French textbooks.

Medicine, banking, construction.

"Fortgeschrittene
Konzepte In Der Chemie."

Advanced concepts in chemistry.

You speak German?

I'm sort of obsessed
with this language app

where they reward you with a flag

every time you reach the fluent level.

Then your little emoji boards a plane

and it flies to the country.

Sort of obsessed? How
many flags do you have?

Um, French, Italian, German

and this close to flying to China.

"The Art Of Cyber War."

"Appliquer Principe Et Prouve."

Applied and proven principles.

If Mary Drake is A.D.,
she's a self-taught "uber A."

And she's been to more
countries than your emoji.

Mostly Europe. But she's
been to Latin America too.

Oh, hey, look at this.

She flew from Heathrow
to Philly a month ago.

That was right before Charlotte died.

About a week.

So she's had plenty of time

to become A.D.

Okay.

- We're good.
- Okay.

Linen closet.

I'll check the dresser.

That's, that's a little weird.

Oh, please don't tell
me that you found a toy.

It's already bad enough that I'm going

through Alison's panty
drawer. I don't need to...

It's locked.

It's not here.

I can't find a key anywhere.

Did you hear that?

And in a related
story, the prime minister told BNS

in an exclusive interview
that we need a proper

government inquiry into all of this.

In fact, the last government
ended scandals like this

the current government is in...

- Hey.
- Hey.

Uh, I just realized none of
us have had anything to eat

since yesterday. Can I
bring you guys something?

Food's the last thing
on my mind, Spencer.

Okay, um, well

then I'm gonna go over
the Mary Drake file again.

- Maybe there's something...
- Alright, great.

Bye to you too.

I've got everything that we need.

Who's she talkin' to?

I can only hear her side of the call.

I need just a few more seconds to...

No. No, no, no, no, no. No, no.

Don't hang up. Don't...

Bleach, charcoal... vinegar.

That's everything you
need to cover up a murder.

- What's the charcoal for?
- Absorbs the smell of death.

- Hey, she's still alive.
- How can you be so sure?

Because they aren't gonna
use that tarp after the fact.

And she's gonna lead us to Hanna.

Yeah, because she's
on her way to kill her.

Please stop. Stop!

Please.

Please stop.

No. No. No. Please stop. Please!

Stop!

Stop!

She's been driving around for hours.

She's either taking a tour of the county

or she's completely lost.

Or she knows that we're following her

and she's just jerking us around.

- She's turning left.
- She's not leading us to Hanna.

She... she's taking
us to Alison's house.

Cut the lights.

Wait, she's going to Spencer's.

Are you Spencer or Melissa?

Um, I know you must be Jessica's sister.

But have we met?

A long time ago, but
you wouldn't remember.

I'm Spencer.

Are your parents home?

No, they're on a cruise.

- I'll check back another time.
- So you know each other?

We used to have a lot in common.

Would you like to come inside?

I could make us some tea.

Yes. Yes, I would.

Herbal or leaded.

Oh, I've never been one
to turn down caffeine.

Elliot's not here.

But the nurse says she's calmed down

and I can see her for a few minutes.

Well, I hope she tells you the truth

because we're running out of time.

I'm allowed to go in
now. I'll call you back.

Ali?

Are you awake?

Ali, please wake up.

Hanna's in trouble.

Okay? And I need to know the truth.

The truth about Charlotte.

Did you do it?

Did you...

Did you kill her?

Oh, God, help me.

Oh, please, God, forgive me.

You and your
sister look so much alike.

Almost like twins.

Yeah, people thought that
a lot when we were younger.

- Are you close?
- Occasionally.

So when did you see my parents last?

I only asked because they
never talked about you.

I know enough about your family

to know that they're
excellent secret keepers.

Well, why would they keep you a secret?

You certainly are inquisitive.

I was just making conversation.

I'm sorry. Forgive me
if I'm overly sensitive.

The truth is, my sister
and I didn't get along.

I moved away because she...

... turned everyone against me.

My friends, my family.

She poisoned them all against me.

Why?

I was born first, and
she was born jealous.

Well, may I ask why you've come back?

I mean, why now?

Because I found out she was dead.

Well, I've taken up enough of your time.

- Thank you for the tea.
- Yeah.

Um, so you're at the Lost
Woods all by yourself?

Yes, I'm all alone.

- Do you have any children?
- Like I said, it's just me.

How would you know that
that's where I'm staying?

Oh, it's such a small town.

My ex-boyfriend is a cop

and he told me about your break-in.

You know, you're a
very lucky young woman.

I can't seem to be friends
with any of my ex-lovers.

- C'est la vie.
- C'est la vie.

You should lock this door.

These days, you're not safe anywhere.

She looks so scared.

It's been over 36 hours
since you got any sleep.

Maybe you should try and rest.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

I'll get a T-shirt,
and I'll set the alarm.

Maybe I should go home.

Are you sure?

No, I mean, I'm not
really sure of anything.

You know, I haven't
talked to Liam in days.

You and I, we haven't even talked

about what happened between us.

Was it a slip

or are we friends with benefits?

Are we even a we again?

I guess we have a lot to talk about.

Yeah, I just, I, um, feel like

I need to think about it
before I can talk about it.

Okay.

Em, hey.

How did it go with Ali?

Uh, turns out they wouldn't
let me in to see her.

Do you still have that
key that I gave you?

Ali's?

Uh, yeah.

Are you thinking about going back there?

- I'll come with you.
- Emily.

Um, I'll give you a call if I go.

Yeah, okay.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Again with the lies.

- I'm sorry.
- That was a joke.

It's just...

... someone that I care very deeply for.

And I'm starting to think
that she did a very bad thing.

Now another friend is
paying the price for it.

I made some lemon bars this morning.

It'll go really good
with that cappuccino.

Come on.

- What is she doing?
- It's called pacing.

You know, I can actually
appreciate your skillset

but do you always have
to be such a smart-ass?

Do you always have to be so direct?

I was giving you a compliment.

Calling me names isn't complimentary.

Whatever.

You know, she's in there
alone. We can take her.

And then what? We waterboard her?

Look, A.D. said we have 24 hours.

We still have six of those left.

Wait, her phone's ringing.

Oh, come on, Mary, keep talking.

- Can you hear the other person?
- Shh.

Don't shush me.

The signal keeps dropping in and out

but it's definitely a man.

I think he has an accent.
Maybe Aussie, maybe British.

What is that?

I got a lock on the caller's signal.

It's coming from a bar
near Hollis called Snookers.

I'm on it.

Aria, Mary Drake is
talking to a British guy

or possibly an Aussie
at a bar near Hollis.

It's called Snookers. Do you know it?

Yeah, I used to go there with Ezra.

I was on my way home. I
can be there in five minutes.

Be careful.

Hanna.

Oh, Spencer.

You've got this, Hanna.

You're gonna be okay.

- I think I'm gonna die in here.
- No, I won't let that happen.

But this is a dream.

You can't help me.
You're not real, Spence.

Something real is actually existing

as a thing or occurring in fact.

I don't know what you're saying,
but I'm glad that you're here.

A dream is an experience

and an experience is real.

Do you understand?

Maybe.

No.

I should've listened to you.

Spence, I think...

... this A is a lot
smarter than the others.

You told them the truth, right?

Maybe it's a good thing we
don't know who killed Charlotte.

'Cause I'd tell if I did.

I'm scared, Spence.

I know. I know.

There's no way out.

No, look, if A.D. can
come in and out of here

you can, too.

Think about it, Hanna.

If there is a way in,
there is a way out, right?

- Yeah, I guess so.
- Say it.

If there is a way in,
there is a way out.

You're gonna need your
strength for tomorrow.

Get some sleep.

Will you stay with me?

Always.

- What can I get you?
- Oh, I'm looking for a guy.

Um, no. He's... he's just not any guy.

He's British, maybe.

Can I get you something to drink or not?

Sure. Yeah. I'll take a beer. Thanks.

Thanks.

Hey, don't look away. I'm right here.

Yeah. Yeah, that's
what I'm talking about.

- Hey, you're doin' alright?
- Doin' fine. How are you?

Good, man. Hey, where have you been?

Workin' my tail off like always.

Yeah, I hear you, man.

I don't need to know
what we are tonight.

I just need to be with you.

We'll be friends forever.

That's why I love you.
You're big on happy endings.

I never told you this, but
you were always my favorite.

You'd look so good on
top of the Eiffel Tower

wind in your hair.

You were the hardest
for me to leave behind.

Ali, are you asleep?

Oh, Ali.

What did you do?

If there's a way in, there's a way out.

Mary Drake was in and out of Radley

for a significant part of her life.

She was initially institutionalized

for an incident involving
the death of a child

who was under Mary's care
while she was babysitting.

There were no charges ever filed

but she was forced to stay

in Radley until she was 18.

And then she was
readmitted several times

until she got out for good 23 years ago.

So she was the babysitter from hell?

You guys, that was Mona.
Mary just left the Lost Woods.

She needs backup. Now.

Emily, what is this about?

I lied to you earlier, Aria.

I did see Ali

and I'm pretty sure she confessed

to killing Charlotte.

Did you record it?

No, it all happened so fast and...

... I wasn't expecting
her to say that she did it.

I was the holdout earlier.

I didn't write down Ali's
name because I didn't

wanna believe that it was her.

Look, this is all great, Emily

but the clock is ticking

and it doesn't help us.

We still can't prove it.

When I was staying with Ali

she told me she was packing up

some stuff to give to Goodwill.

I didn't know it would be in there.

I just had a hunch.

Before we hand it over to A.D.

can we please go over
this one more time?

I love Hanna just as much as you all do.

But we're about to hand over
one of our own for another.

But it's different, Em.

Hanna is innocent, Ali is not.

Look, we know that Ali
is a master manipulator

but I don't believe that
she's a cold-blooded killer.

Whatever happened that night, I believe

that she was protecting herself,
but she still killed Charlotte.

We don't have time to debate this.

Right now, Alison is
safely locked up at Welby

and Hanna's life is on the line.

We need to get that jacket to A.D.

Caleb?

- He's gone.
- How does he know where to go?

He took my phone.

- Where are you?
- We lost Mary.

It doesn't matter. I have
what I need to get Hanna back.

Help!

Help! Please! Help me!

Help! Help! Please, stop!

Stop, please.

Have you heard anything?

Not yet. Radio silence.

One of us should go to
Welby to check on Ali.

We did the right thing.
She's in a safe place.

Yeah, Welby is locked
up like Fort Knox, Em.

I know. You're right.

How are you feeling?

Maybe a little crazy?

Don't worry.

I am going to take care of you.

I'm gonna make sure
you live a long life...

... rotting away in here.

I know you killed Charlotte.

Just like you, Alison

karma can be such a bitch.
