Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 7, Episode 16 - The Glove That Rocks the Cradle - full transcript
With the Rosewood P.D closing in, the liars try to destroy any evidence that would incriminate one of their own.
Previously on
"Pretty Little Liars..."
"Solve the puzzle and
get away with murder."
"Or fail and go directly to jail."
Cops get one more clue
about what we did...
It's game over.
All that talk about Lucas backing you
all the way, he's selling
your business out
from under you before
we've even started.
- "Arcturus."
- Hanna.
Lucas and Charles made this together?
Yes, and Lucas kept it.
It's gone. Whoever took
it knew where to look.
You'll do as you're told.
And don't forget about Ezra.
He's just a document away
from going to prison.
Mona, hurry. I brought
you here to help me.
My turn is next. We have
to shut this thing down.
I'm going to have the baby.
- We'll do it.
- Together.
Did you know that Dunhill
was at the Radley bar
the same night that we were?
- What were you doing tonight?
- Burying a body.
- No.
- Maybe he wasn't after all...
But his credit card was.
I requested paper
receipts from the hotel.
I'm interested in seeing a
signature on that bill.
Once that happens, there's
gonna be more questions.
Why didn't you come to the
Radley hotel that night?
My friend Emily was working
and I wanted a drink.
And did you see Archer Dunhill?
- I knew him as Elliot Rollins.
- Did you see him?
No. But that doesn't mean
that he wasn't there.
What time did you leave the
bar with Detective Furey?
- I knew him as Marco.
- What time did you leave?
I don't know, 11:00?
Don't you have surveillance
footage of me?
Do you remember, a joke
you made to Detective Furey?
About burying a body?
No, but I do remember unbuckling
his belt in the elevator.
Did you pay for your drinks?
You've asked me this
question three times.
If you could just answer the question.
I told you I got the second round.
What time would you have
paid for the drinks?
Video surveillance shows you
paying at around 10:45.
- Is that right?
- Yes, could be.
- You paid with your own card?
- Yes.
Which of your cards did you pay with?
- I don't remember.
- What was the amount?
- I don't recall.
- Was it $79?
- I don't recall.
- What was...
I don't recall!
You may wanna wait for me
to ask the question first.
That's enough for now, Barry.
You okay?
Sort of like setting fire to my house
and then asking if I'm too warm.
Spencer, I can't help you
unless you tell me the truth.
Really?
You wanna pull good cop, bad cop on me?
Please. You are standing on quick sand.
The more you struggle, the faster
it's gonna pull you under.
I'm offering you a rope. Take it.
Can I go home now?
Please, do yourself a
favor and get a lawyer.
Two days from now, I'm gonna have.
Rollins' credit card slip in my hand.
And if your signature is on it
a warrant for your arrest.
Em, this really isn't helping my nausea.
Sorry, okay, you can
open your eyes now.
When did you do this?
Look, I know it's a little early
and I know it's not going
to be a permanent situation
but I just figured while
the baby is here, that...
Em, stop.
This is great.
And you can stay as long as you want.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, it... just makes sense.
At least for a little while.
Where did you find all this?
Your attic.
'And, sorry, I didn't ask first'
but last week was so
crazy, I just wanted
to put my energy into
something positive.
I remember these.
Your mom saved a lot.
She packed everything in tissue paper.
Even your baby clothes.
Well, for all of her faults
she had good taste, didn't she?
Rule number one, never
send me to voice mail.
- Hey.
- Good morning.
Is it?
I think you were having some
serious nightmares last night
you were really tossing and turning.
No, I was probably just restless.
Well, I think I have a solution to that.
Take a look at these.
- Ballroom dancing classes?
- Yep.
Salsa, Tango, Waltz, take your pick.
Since when do you like to dance?
I don't, but unless you want
our first dance together
as a married couple, to
be the electric slide
I should probably learn.
So, when are you free?
I will sign us up.
Um...
I don't know, I'm not really sure
about my schedule right now.
Well, I mean any night you want
they pretty much have classes going...
Yeah, I just can't commit, okay?
- I've to go.
- Okay.
Well, we'll figure this out.
And, actually, I've to go meet Jillian
to talk about a press schedule.
- Okay.
- Hey, are you sure you're okay?
You're not still upset with me about...
No, promise.
He doesn't have anything on you, right?
He does.
'Because that night, I
got drunk at the Radley'
and I used Rollins'
credit card by mistake.
You got drunk?
Wwhat about our timeline?
For all the cops know Dunhill could have
actually been in that bar.
No, they have me on surveillance.
They can't see the card, so they
need my slip with the signature
on it, and they're gonna
have that in a few days.
- You screw anything else up?
- No.
How would you know? You were trashed.
Anyone one of us could have
made a mistake that night.
That's my point, Emily. Now,
they're gonna be looking.
And I'm the one who turned
Dunhill into roadkill.
Spencer, why the hell were you drunk?
'Cause I was upset.
And from what I remember,
you had a pretty good view.
Iif that signature disappears
then, so does Furey's proof, right?
Well, I was pushing Moscow Mules
at the Radley for a while
I know where all the paper work is.
I mean, the codes on the
doors change weekly, but...
I can get them.
My mom's office.
- What if someone sees you?
- What if Lucas sees you?
Can we not go there right now?
Tomorrow night is
the weekly staff meeting.
The entire Radley crew is
held hostage in a room
for an hour and told to smile more.
Even if no one in the hotel sees her
the security cameras will.
No, they won't.
We thought we'd start things
off with the press event here.
In your book store.
- Tomorrow night's event...
- What is this, Jillian?
It's a press packet.
Those are talking points
we'd like you to consider...
But every single one is about Nicole.
Um, how we fell in love,
Nicole's disappearance.
Nicole's rescue, our reunion.
That is what the book is about?
Nicole. Nicole and you.
Right, but how is Aria
supposed to address any of this.
Why don't we talk about,
thethe writing process?
Ezra, I understand your life is...
your life.
But you wrote a book about
losing the woman you loved
and then she was found.
I'd have to be the dumbest
publisher since Gutenberg
put ink to paper if I didn't
take advantage of that.
Look, Aria created Nicole
in the book, and...
Everyone at the company respects
Aria's contribution, but..
But what?
For goodness sake, Ezra
you couldn't have waited
till after the book launch
to get engaged?
It won't be a
problem shutting it down.
Ashley hired me to create
the entire security system.
Thank God.
But I can't do it for
more than ten minutes.
Wait, what? What kind of
crappy system did you create?
It's a safety feature.
If it's shut down for much longer
then the security company is alerted.
My head hurts.
No, no, no. Not now.
"Pick up my homework
or go to detention."
"Remember, prison food makes you fat."
What does A.D.
want from a computer shop?
I don't know, but whatever it is
I'll have to bring it to the school.
I don't even know why we're
fighting about this.
- I'm going with you.
- No, you can't.
I have to go alone, I have no choice.
You don't even know what
you're getting yourself into.
It doesn't matter, alright?
If I don't play this
game, bad things happen.
Like you winding up in the ER.
What are you supposed to pick up?
I don't know.
Look, I'm not letting you
put yourself in danger.
It's a computer repair shop, Caleb
the only danger I'm in
is being bored to death.
I saw you almost get your face
reheeled at that cobbler shop.
Please, just focus on helping Spencer.
Okay? I owe it to her.
We owe it to her.
What does that mean?
What does that mean, Hanna?
I don't think that she would
have selfsabotaged that night
if it wasn't for everything
going on with the three of us.
I was there behind the door
when you were begging her to let you in.
She was a mess.
I promised her I was over you
I gave her permission to
fall in love with you.
Well, that doesn't mean that you have to
punish yourself and do this solo.
The only thing scary
than playing this game
is losing a friend over it.
Thanks again for staying.
No, I'm grateful for the distraction.
Breaks up my morning of
uninterrupted panic.
- Spence, it's gonna be okay.
- Really?
Because if Furey doesn't
move fast enough
our friends are gonna
tar and feather me.
They're just concerned.
The thing is, if I can get him alone
I'm pretty sure that I can
convince him to drop.
Yeah, that is a bad idea.
Why? I know that he
still cares about me.
Okay, don't overestimate
someone's feeling's for you.
Okay? Itit's risky.
Okay, well, aren't you
taking the same risk?
- With Ali?
- What do you mean?
I mean what is the plan between you two?
It's not a puppy, Em, it's a baby.
Okay, Ali is going through
this experience, too.
And I think she wants to be
a part of the baby's life.
- Is that something she said?
- What are you doing?
I know that you guys
have made this decision
but I think that you're assuming a lot.
Yeah, well, this is all new territory.
Okay? So stop judging
me or her or any of it.
Hey.
Is everything okay?
Jillian is an ass.
She wants me to do the press tour alone.
Why?
I'm not the happy ending
Jillian was hoping for.
I'm not Nicole.
I'm telling her I'm not doing it.
No, I want you to do it.
Selling this book will help us
build a better future together.
Without you, this book
wouldn't even exist.
But I'm not eager to be in
the spotlight right now.
When I wrote this book
I was giving
a voice to a ghost.
But now, Nicole can speak for herself
and I don't feel comfortable
answering questions about her.
It just doesn't feel right
not having you there.
I will be there.
Sitting front row and cheering you on.
I got to go shower.
Why wouldn't A.D. pick
up this hard drive on her own?
Because it's probably a
weapon or something.
Hanna, stop pacing.
Well, how do you know
it's not going to explode
once you hook it up?
It's not going to explode.
Well, it was sent from A.D.
Alright? It might explode,
it might poison you
and it might poke you in
the eye with a box cutter.
It might be a code, or
an encrypted message
maybe a virus?
It's a Pasty Cline song.
That much I figured out, Hanna.
No, I mean A played
this in the dollhouse.
Not this song, but Pasty Cline.
It means something.
Well, can you think of any connection
that Lucas would have to this?
Lucas is not A.D.
Hanna, I know that it
might be hard to believe.
Caleb, this person saved me.
He gave me and my friends an alibi
the night of Charlotte's murder.
It's not Lucas.
Hi, Marco.
The apartment's different
than how I pictured it.
Don't.
Just say what you came here to say.
Look, I didn't exactly
expect a warm welcome
but it'sit's hard to talk to you
when you're looking at me like that.
How am I supposed to look?
I'm the same person that I
was three days ago, Marco.
I'm the same person that
you brought dinner to
and you played ping pong with
and the same person that you kissed.
Well, that might be true.
But it turns out I didn't
know that person much.
Well, I know you.
I know that you're fair and decent.
You're involved in a murder.
Look, Dunhill was a monster.
He preyed on people.
Lost, vulnerable people...
People who trusted him.
Why shouldn't he die in the same
disgusting way that he lived?
Because we have something
called the justice system.
Yes, and justice is just
another way for saying
that people should get
what they deserve.
No, it isn't.
Look, I'm not saying I don't understand
why you would want him dead.
But it's my job to figure out
who broke the law, not why.
Okay, but can't you
just stop being a cop?
Just for a minute. Please.
Can't you just be a human being?
Okay? I'm not asking you to help me.
I am not asking you to lie for me.
I'm just asking you to just...
just... please let this one
slip through the cracks.
Please, just this once.
You can do that, can't you?
No.
I guess you didn't know me
as well as you thought.
I've got to get that.
You've got to go.
Detective Furey.
Yeah, I can come in.
You have all files there?
Yeah, just give me about
five minutes to get out of here.
Okay.
Okay.
Alright.
What does Lucas
have to do with this?
I don't know, I didn't ask.
I was too busy committing the theft.
Can you state your name please?
Lucas Gottesman.
Wait, I recognize this.
This is from after Charlotte's murder.
You claim you were at
the hotel with Miss Marin.
Are you willing to testify to that?
No.
You caught me in the lie, so I
came back to tell the truth.
I have no clue where Hanna was.
Why did you lie?
Because she asked for my help.
And I don't think that Hanna had
anything to do with Charlotte's death.
What about her friends?
I can't vouch for them.
Now, I've see too many things
that they're capable of.
Do you think they did it?
Let's say that I wouldn't be surprised.
- Dammit!
- Spencer, calm down.
No, Furey is building a case.
What if he goes back and talks to him?
Lucas will make sure that
we're rotting in jail before'
we ever find anything else to
prove that he's torturing us.
It's not Lucas.
Hanna, he just threw you under the bus.
- I don't care.
- Shall I rewind it
so we can see him back it over you?
He got busted
so he told the truth.
He's weak, it doesn't make him sick.
And what about destroying
Ali's memorial?
Stealing Caleb's money,
joining Mona's army.
I mean he has a dark side, Hanna.
We all do when we're pushed hard enough.
I don't care how many videos you show me
he's my friend, just
like every one of you.
And no matter how shady you guys looked
I know in my heart you
would never hurt me.
That's not true.
You haven't always known that.
You were once so afraid of Lucas
you pushed him out of a row boat.
Maybe there's a way that we
can find out if it's him.
What do you mean?
Hanna's waiting to hear from A.D.
to tell her
when to take that hard
drive to the school
we should stake out the locker.
Locker?
Yeah, I thoughtl thought
that's what you said.
Look, we've tried
this a million times.
When has it ever worked?
It only has to work once.
Hanna's gonna drop it off, so let's see
who shows up to get it.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Wait, are we carpooling? I
thought this was your day off.
It is, but my mom was
away for the weekend
so I went home and got this.
- How sweet.
- Yeah, it was mine.
I think I'm gonna hang it today.
- Is that your breakfast?
- Yeah, I'm running late today.
Okay, that's not real food.
Give me five minutes,
I'll make you something.
I said I can't. I'm running late.
Ali?
Sorry, II keep
forgetting to take those.
- They're important.
- I know.
And I'll take them. I
just keep forgetting.
Okay, well, set an alarm in your phone
while you're at it, maybe
one for breakfast too.
- Grumpy much?
- No, I'm not grumpy.
I just can't believe you're
already flaking out on me.
What?
Well, you say you wanna do things
and you end up bailing.
Get a grip, they're just vitamins.
It's not about the vitamins, okay?
I'm looking down the
road and what I see is
you tossing me the baby
and runnin' off to Paris.
Happy?
Look, I knew pregnancy would come with
some crazy erratic mood swings
I just didn't think they'd be yours.
It's the text from A.D.
that was sent this morning.
Hanna has to drop off
the hard drive at the school
at the exact same time the staff
meeting starts at the Radley.
Great, so basically Hanna has
to be in two places at once.
It just means that we're
working in a tight time frame.
Okay, so Caleb will disable the cameras
and, Hanna, you'll grab
the credit card slip.
Yeah, but I only have
ten minutes to do it
or the SWAT team shows up.
It's enough time.
The boxes are all marked.
It shouldn't be hard.
Well, I'm glad you're confident.
Listen, I know we're a
little short on people
but I promised Ezra I'd go
to this press event tonight.
Fine, just go. Ali and I
will wait at the school
to see who picks up the hard drive.
Is everything okay?
Rosewood PD wants to schedule
my second interview.
- I'm sorry.
- It's not your fault.
Isn't it?
You weren't drinking at
that bar to celebrate.
I'm gonna go get some rest.
Wait, Spencer.
Hanna and I aren't gonna
let you down this time.
I promise.
I hope that that still means something.
It does.
Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.
Where're you going?
Um, I'm going to meet the girls.
Don't bother, it's like watching a frog
trying to jump out of a
pot of boiling water.
- Why are you shutting me out?
- I'm not.
You showed me the game for a reason.
I'm ready to play
but I can't help you if
I'm kept in the dark.
A.D. is going to pick this
up from the school tonight.
It's the best chance
we've had in a long time
to expose this person.
So, let me be another set of eyes.
Mona, you know that I want that
but the others can't find
out that you're involved.
You didn't tell them that
I know about the game.
I couldn't.
They still don't trust me?
Fine, I'll help you and your
friends like I always do
and then crawl back under a rock.
Mona, come on, it's not like that.
I have literally bled
myself for you, Hanna.
Trying to protect you.
How many times do I
have to save all of you
until I'm finally part of the group?
Well, you might as well head
over to the high school.
Seems like we never left.
Hey, thank you for coming.
Thank you for coming.
Ezra, we really have to get started.
Yeah, okay.
Look, Ali, I'm sorry about earlier.
I'm just scared I won't
be able to do this.
So am I.
But mostly because I feel
like you're testing me.
I don't know what the tests are, but...
I know that I'm failing.
This way!
Ali.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. I think so.
- What happened?
- Someone knocked me down.
They flew past me so fast I
didn't get to see who it was.
I'm gonna get you home, okay?
- But what about the...
- No, forget it.
They're probably long gone anyway.
Okay. Come on.
It's gonna be okay.
Hey, Mom...
I'm fine. Really. It
wasn't bad a fall.
It was an, an exorcism ofof sorts
writing the book.
I had to confront a lot of demons.
But, thankfully, I didn't
have to do it on my own.
Any questions or...
Yes, lady in red.
Hi. I'm just curious.
Is there another book in the works?
Are we gonna get to continue
your journey with Nicole?
No, I'm afraid not.
I am about to start another journey
I am getting married to Aria Montgomery
my coauthor, and this
story may be about Nicole
but my inspiration in work, in life
and in every sense of the word, is Aria.
What a monster.
I know that Lucas
destroyed your memorial
but do we really think he's
as disgusting as all this?
I could kick myself. I was
so close to catching him.
I'm just glad
he didn't hurt you guys.
He clearly didn't expect you to be home.
Exactly. He knew we were at the school.
I think the hard drive
thing was a setup.
Diddid you catch a glimpse of him?
No, if Lucas is A.D., he
definitely has a helper.
What do you mean?
There's no way whoever's at that school
could beat us back here.
Em, it's gonna be okay.
- Wewe can fix it.
- Here.
Look, we can glue this
back together, see?
Em, don't let this scare you.
When you do that, you give A.D. power.
Of course I'm scared.
I mean, this is supposed to be the baby's
room and now I know we'll never be safe.
Aria, is this yours?
Yeah.
It's funny I thought I heard something
drop on the floor when I came in.
- Thank you.
- I can't be in here anymore.
Come on, let's go.
- Hanna, what is taking so long?
- I can't find it.
I can't find it anywhere.
You have to help me.
What? I thought the boxes were marked.
They are, but it wasn't in there.
- Hanna, we have to go.
- No. Not until I find it.
If I don't turn this system
back on, we're going to jail.
Caleb, I'm not letting Spencer
go down for something I did.
We have to find that credit
card slip, we promised her.
What the hell are you doing?
Have you lost your mind?
- Getting rid of the evidence.
- No.
An entire police force
is going to come in here
and pick through that. They're
gonna find it eventually.
There'll be nothing left to find.
Let's go.
Can you hurry up?
My stomach has done so many backflips
I can join the Olympic team.
Give me a second.
Okay, I have to run downstairs
and reboot the security system.
- Are you okay on your own?
- Yeah, go.
Hey, Han, I'm still
at the school. Alone.
Your gal pals mistook me for Uber A
chased me and then just took off.
Must've scared the real
devil away, because no one
has showed up to get this thing.
Call me back.
- Hello.
- Do you know why I'm calling?
How many guesses do I get?
You took something from
me, and if I don't get it back.
I'm sending an officer to your door.
I'm sorry, I can't help you if I don't
know what you're talking about.
You think this is funny?
You think this is a game?
Stop jerking me around and
give me the damn drive.
If I had that thumb drive
that would mean that I
was in your apartment
alone with you that night.
I wonder if people would
think that was strange.
It's over Lucas. We know it was you.
Look, I can explain why I'm here.
Did it feel good to scare us?
- Did it make you feel powerful?
- What?
You smeared blood on a crib.
- Maybe he didn't.
- Are you crazy?
If he isn't A.D. then why is he here?
- I'm not staying.
- Lucas, at least tell me why.
I saw the police tape. I
know you took it back.
Being our alibi after
Charlotte was murdered.
- You saw that?
- It didn't work the first time.
So now you're sending body parts.
What the hell is she talking about?
If you don't know, why
are you so freaked out?
Because of the book.
Because of my friendship with Charles.
I figured he found out.
But I swear, I swear that
I didn't know that he...
She was the one who was torturing you.
I didn't think that he and
Charlotte were the same person.
You just said that you stayed friends.
Over email.
If you didn't know that
you were friends with A
then why would you lie about it
after you found out.
Lucas, speak!
Because it may be a part of the reason
why you were tortured.
Most of the emails that
I sent in high school
were about mean queen Alison.
And her loyal band of followers.
I gave details about how you
made my life a living hell.
And how the rest of you just watched.
So that's why you stole
back the comic book.
It's a graphic novel and I didn't.
It was sent to me, along with this.
"Want to keep your friendship a secret?
Meet me at the Radley."
I went but nobody showed up.
Why'd you come back here if
you already had the book?
Because there's a second book.
One that was done much later.
It turned the idea of
vengeance into a game.
A game?
But I came back tonight
because I didn't want
whoever sent that note to have it.
Where is it? Where is the other book?
I was too late.
How did the book end?
I don't know.
It was never finished.
Thanks for that.
Lucas?
I believe you.
That you weren't part
of what happened to us.
But why is the factory for sale?
And was our business
partnership ever real?
I think you're so talented, Hanna.
I just...
I had trouble getting other people
to take a chance on you.
Well, what about the investors?
You're lookin' at him.
I was too embarrassed to tell you
that I couldn't do it anymore.
So my friends made your life
miserable in high school.
They almost broke your
collarbone tonight
and now you're telling me that...
I lost all your money.
I'll make it back again.
Besides... it was worth it.
How was it worth it?
What's worth losing everything?
You.
Thank you.
I never doubted that you were...
I know.
I know.
This is gonna be a very short interview.
Then why couldn't it wait?
Earlier tonight the
Radley Bar was flooded.
Destroying all the
receipts stored there.
And we know that the
flooding was deliberate.
But security cams went dark
during the exact ten minutes we need.
That must make your job very difficult.
Almost impossible.
Almost.
We'll just have to broaden the
scope of my investigation.
- Of a flood?
- Of a homicide.
Let's hope your friends
are as lucky as you are.
You were a crazy person tonight.
Me?
I was scared you were gonna
tear Lucas' head off.
I thought he was A.D.
Besides, you were the one that used
a Pottery Barn candlestick
as a deadly weapon.
I don't know why I thought
I had to protect you.
You're basically the
strongest woman I know.
You've always protected me, Em.
Ever since I met you, I
knew I could count on you.
So why did you always push me away?
I don't know.
But I'm ready to stop.
I wanna do this... together.
What do you mean, together?
I wanna be a family.
Alison, I need to be clear about...
Over the years, I've been in
so many failed relationships.
And I always made excuses why.
But I know the reason.
Paige tried to get me to say it
but I didn't wanna say it to her.
- What did Paige...
- I love you.
You told me not to do
this until I was ready.
Do what?
This.
"Pretty Little Liars..."
"Solve the puzzle and
get away with murder."
"Or fail and go directly to jail."
Cops get one more clue
about what we did...
It's game over.
All that talk about Lucas backing you
all the way, he's selling
your business out
from under you before
we've even started.
- "Arcturus."
- Hanna.
Lucas and Charles made this together?
Yes, and Lucas kept it.
It's gone. Whoever took
it knew where to look.
You'll do as you're told.
And don't forget about Ezra.
He's just a document away
from going to prison.
Mona, hurry. I brought
you here to help me.
My turn is next. We have
to shut this thing down.
I'm going to have the baby.
- We'll do it.
- Together.
Did you know that Dunhill
was at the Radley bar
the same night that we were?
- What were you doing tonight?
- Burying a body.
- No.
- Maybe he wasn't after all...
But his credit card was.
I requested paper
receipts from the hotel.
I'm interested in seeing a
signature on that bill.
Once that happens, there's
gonna be more questions.
Why didn't you come to the
Radley hotel that night?
My friend Emily was working
and I wanted a drink.
And did you see Archer Dunhill?
- I knew him as Elliot Rollins.
- Did you see him?
No. But that doesn't mean
that he wasn't there.
What time did you leave the
bar with Detective Furey?
- I knew him as Marco.
- What time did you leave?
I don't know, 11:00?
Don't you have surveillance
footage of me?
Do you remember, a joke
you made to Detective Furey?
About burying a body?
No, but I do remember unbuckling
his belt in the elevator.
Did you pay for your drinks?
You've asked me this
question three times.
If you could just answer the question.
I told you I got the second round.
What time would you have
paid for the drinks?
Video surveillance shows you
paying at around 10:45.
- Is that right?
- Yes, could be.
- You paid with your own card?
- Yes.
Which of your cards did you pay with?
- I don't remember.
- What was the amount?
- I don't recall.
- Was it $79?
- I don't recall.
- What was...
I don't recall!
You may wanna wait for me
to ask the question first.
That's enough for now, Barry.
You okay?
Sort of like setting fire to my house
and then asking if I'm too warm.
Spencer, I can't help you
unless you tell me the truth.
Really?
You wanna pull good cop, bad cop on me?
Please. You are standing on quick sand.
The more you struggle, the faster
it's gonna pull you under.
I'm offering you a rope. Take it.
Can I go home now?
Please, do yourself a
favor and get a lawyer.
Two days from now, I'm gonna have.
Rollins' credit card slip in my hand.
And if your signature is on it
a warrant for your arrest.
Em, this really isn't helping my nausea.
Sorry, okay, you can
open your eyes now.
When did you do this?
Look, I know it's a little early
and I know it's not going
to be a permanent situation
but I just figured while
the baby is here, that...
Em, stop.
This is great.
And you can stay as long as you want.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, it... just makes sense.
At least for a little while.
Where did you find all this?
Your attic.
'And, sorry, I didn't ask first'
but last week was so
crazy, I just wanted
to put my energy into
something positive.
I remember these.
Your mom saved a lot.
She packed everything in tissue paper.
Even your baby clothes.
Well, for all of her faults
she had good taste, didn't she?
Rule number one, never
send me to voice mail.
- Hey.
- Good morning.
Is it?
I think you were having some
serious nightmares last night
you were really tossing and turning.
No, I was probably just restless.
Well, I think I have a solution to that.
Take a look at these.
- Ballroom dancing classes?
- Yep.
Salsa, Tango, Waltz, take your pick.
Since when do you like to dance?
I don't, but unless you want
our first dance together
as a married couple, to
be the electric slide
I should probably learn.
So, when are you free?
I will sign us up.
Um...
I don't know, I'm not really sure
about my schedule right now.
Well, I mean any night you want
they pretty much have classes going...
Yeah, I just can't commit, okay?
- I've to go.
- Okay.
Well, we'll figure this out.
And, actually, I've to go meet Jillian
to talk about a press schedule.
- Okay.
- Hey, are you sure you're okay?
You're not still upset with me about...
No, promise.
He doesn't have anything on you, right?
He does.
'Because that night, I
got drunk at the Radley'
and I used Rollins'
credit card by mistake.
You got drunk?
Wwhat about our timeline?
For all the cops know Dunhill could have
actually been in that bar.
No, they have me on surveillance.
They can't see the card, so they
need my slip with the signature
on it, and they're gonna
have that in a few days.
- You screw anything else up?
- No.
How would you know? You were trashed.
Anyone one of us could have
made a mistake that night.
That's my point, Emily. Now,
they're gonna be looking.
And I'm the one who turned
Dunhill into roadkill.
Spencer, why the hell were you drunk?
'Cause I was upset.
And from what I remember,
you had a pretty good view.
Iif that signature disappears
then, so does Furey's proof, right?
Well, I was pushing Moscow Mules
at the Radley for a while
I know where all the paper work is.
I mean, the codes on the
doors change weekly, but...
I can get them.
My mom's office.
- What if someone sees you?
- What if Lucas sees you?
Can we not go there right now?
Tomorrow night is
the weekly staff meeting.
The entire Radley crew is
held hostage in a room
for an hour and told to smile more.
Even if no one in the hotel sees her
the security cameras will.
No, they won't.
We thought we'd start things
off with the press event here.
In your book store.
- Tomorrow night's event...
- What is this, Jillian?
It's a press packet.
Those are talking points
we'd like you to consider...
But every single one is about Nicole.
Um, how we fell in love,
Nicole's disappearance.
Nicole's rescue, our reunion.
That is what the book is about?
Nicole. Nicole and you.
Right, but how is Aria
supposed to address any of this.
Why don't we talk about,
thethe writing process?
Ezra, I understand your life is...
your life.
But you wrote a book about
losing the woman you loved
and then she was found.
I'd have to be the dumbest
publisher since Gutenberg
put ink to paper if I didn't
take advantage of that.
Look, Aria created Nicole
in the book, and...
Everyone at the company respects
Aria's contribution, but..
But what?
For goodness sake, Ezra
you couldn't have waited
till after the book launch
to get engaged?
It won't be a
problem shutting it down.
Ashley hired me to create
the entire security system.
Thank God.
But I can't do it for
more than ten minutes.
Wait, what? What kind of
crappy system did you create?
It's a safety feature.
If it's shut down for much longer
then the security company is alerted.
My head hurts.
No, no, no. Not now.
"Pick up my homework
or go to detention."
"Remember, prison food makes you fat."
What does A.D.
want from a computer shop?
I don't know, but whatever it is
I'll have to bring it to the school.
I don't even know why we're
fighting about this.
- I'm going with you.
- No, you can't.
I have to go alone, I have no choice.
You don't even know what
you're getting yourself into.
It doesn't matter, alright?
If I don't play this
game, bad things happen.
Like you winding up in the ER.
What are you supposed to pick up?
I don't know.
Look, I'm not letting you
put yourself in danger.
It's a computer repair shop, Caleb
the only danger I'm in
is being bored to death.
I saw you almost get your face
reheeled at that cobbler shop.
Please, just focus on helping Spencer.
Okay? I owe it to her.
We owe it to her.
What does that mean?
What does that mean, Hanna?
I don't think that she would
have selfsabotaged that night
if it wasn't for everything
going on with the three of us.
I was there behind the door
when you were begging her to let you in.
She was a mess.
I promised her I was over you
I gave her permission to
fall in love with you.
Well, that doesn't mean that you have to
punish yourself and do this solo.
The only thing scary
than playing this game
is losing a friend over it.
Thanks again for staying.
No, I'm grateful for the distraction.
Breaks up my morning of
uninterrupted panic.
- Spence, it's gonna be okay.
- Really?
Because if Furey doesn't
move fast enough
our friends are gonna
tar and feather me.
They're just concerned.
The thing is, if I can get him alone
I'm pretty sure that I can
convince him to drop.
Yeah, that is a bad idea.
Why? I know that he
still cares about me.
Okay, don't overestimate
someone's feeling's for you.
Okay? Itit's risky.
Okay, well, aren't you
taking the same risk?
- With Ali?
- What do you mean?
I mean what is the plan between you two?
It's not a puppy, Em, it's a baby.
Okay, Ali is going through
this experience, too.
And I think she wants to be
a part of the baby's life.
- Is that something she said?
- What are you doing?
I know that you guys
have made this decision
but I think that you're assuming a lot.
Yeah, well, this is all new territory.
Okay? So stop judging
me or her or any of it.
Hey.
Is everything okay?
Jillian is an ass.
She wants me to do the press tour alone.
Why?
I'm not the happy ending
Jillian was hoping for.
I'm not Nicole.
I'm telling her I'm not doing it.
No, I want you to do it.
Selling this book will help us
build a better future together.
Without you, this book
wouldn't even exist.
But I'm not eager to be in
the spotlight right now.
When I wrote this book
I was giving
a voice to a ghost.
But now, Nicole can speak for herself
and I don't feel comfortable
answering questions about her.
It just doesn't feel right
not having you there.
I will be there.
Sitting front row and cheering you on.
I got to go shower.
Why wouldn't A.D. pick
up this hard drive on her own?
Because it's probably a
weapon or something.
Hanna, stop pacing.
Well, how do you know
it's not going to explode
once you hook it up?
It's not going to explode.
Well, it was sent from A.D.
Alright? It might explode,
it might poison you
and it might poke you in
the eye with a box cutter.
It might be a code, or
an encrypted message
maybe a virus?
It's a Pasty Cline song.
That much I figured out, Hanna.
No, I mean A played
this in the dollhouse.
Not this song, but Pasty Cline.
It means something.
Well, can you think of any connection
that Lucas would have to this?
Lucas is not A.D.
Hanna, I know that it
might be hard to believe.
Caleb, this person saved me.
He gave me and my friends an alibi
the night of Charlotte's murder.
It's not Lucas.
Hi, Marco.
The apartment's different
than how I pictured it.
Don't.
Just say what you came here to say.
Look, I didn't exactly
expect a warm welcome
but it'sit's hard to talk to you
when you're looking at me like that.
How am I supposed to look?
I'm the same person that I
was three days ago, Marco.
I'm the same person that
you brought dinner to
and you played ping pong with
and the same person that you kissed.
Well, that might be true.
But it turns out I didn't
know that person much.
Well, I know you.
I know that you're fair and decent.
You're involved in a murder.
Look, Dunhill was a monster.
He preyed on people.
Lost, vulnerable people...
People who trusted him.
Why shouldn't he die in the same
disgusting way that he lived?
Because we have something
called the justice system.
Yes, and justice is just
another way for saying
that people should get
what they deserve.
No, it isn't.
Look, I'm not saying I don't understand
why you would want him dead.
But it's my job to figure out
who broke the law, not why.
Okay, but can't you
just stop being a cop?
Just for a minute. Please.
Can't you just be a human being?
Okay? I'm not asking you to help me.
I am not asking you to lie for me.
I'm just asking you to just...
just... please let this one
slip through the cracks.
Please, just this once.
You can do that, can't you?
No.
I guess you didn't know me
as well as you thought.
I've got to get that.
You've got to go.
Detective Furey.
Yeah, I can come in.
You have all files there?
Yeah, just give me about
five minutes to get out of here.
Okay.
Okay.
Alright.
What does Lucas
have to do with this?
I don't know, I didn't ask.
I was too busy committing the theft.
Can you state your name please?
Lucas Gottesman.
Wait, I recognize this.
This is from after Charlotte's murder.
You claim you were at
the hotel with Miss Marin.
Are you willing to testify to that?
No.
You caught me in the lie, so I
came back to tell the truth.
I have no clue where Hanna was.
Why did you lie?
Because she asked for my help.
And I don't think that Hanna had
anything to do with Charlotte's death.
What about her friends?
I can't vouch for them.
Now, I've see too many things
that they're capable of.
Do you think they did it?
Let's say that I wouldn't be surprised.
- Dammit!
- Spencer, calm down.
No, Furey is building a case.
What if he goes back and talks to him?
Lucas will make sure that
we're rotting in jail before'
we ever find anything else to
prove that he's torturing us.
It's not Lucas.
Hanna, he just threw you under the bus.
- I don't care.
- Shall I rewind it
so we can see him back it over you?
He got busted
so he told the truth.
He's weak, it doesn't make him sick.
And what about destroying
Ali's memorial?
Stealing Caleb's money,
joining Mona's army.
I mean he has a dark side, Hanna.
We all do when we're pushed hard enough.
I don't care how many videos you show me
he's my friend, just
like every one of you.
And no matter how shady you guys looked
I know in my heart you
would never hurt me.
That's not true.
You haven't always known that.
You were once so afraid of Lucas
you pushed him out of a row boat.
Maybe there's a way that we
can find out if it's him.
What do you mean?
Hanna's waiting to hear from A.D.
to tell her
when to take that hard
drive to the school
we should stake out the locker.
Locker?
Yeah, I thoughtl thought
that's what you said.
Look, we've tried
this a million times.
When has it ever worked?
It only has to work once.
Hanna's gonna drop it off, so let's see
who shows up to get it.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Wait, are we carpooling? I
thought this was your day off.
It is, but my mom was
away for the weekend
so I went home and got this.
- How sweet.
- Yeah, it was mine.
I think I'm gonna hang it today.
- Is that your breakfast?
- Yeah, I'm running late today.
Okay, that's not real food.
Give me five minutes,
I'll make you something.
I said I can't. I'm running late.
Ali?
Sorry, II keep
forgetting to take those.
- They're important.
- I know.
And I'll take them. I
just keep forgetting.
Okay, well, set an alarm in your phone
while you're at it, maybe
one for breakfast too.
- Grumpy much?
- No, I'm not grumpy.
I just can't believe you're
already flaking out on me.
What?
Well, you say you wanna do things
and you end up bailing.
Get a grip, they're just vitamins.
It's not about the vitamins, okay?
I'm looking down the
road and what I see is
you tossing me the baby
and runnin' off to Paris.
Happy?
Look, I knew pregnancy would come with
some crazy erratic mood swings
I just didn't think they'd be yours.
It's the text from A.D.
that was sent this morning.
Hanna has to drop off
the hard drive at the school
at the exact same time the staff
meeting starts at the Radley.
Great, so basically Hanna has
to be in two places at once.
It just means that we're
working in a tight time frame.
Okay, so Caleb will disable the cameras
and, Hanna, you'll grab
the credit card slip.
Yeah, but I only have
ten minutes to do it
or the SWAT team shows up.
It's enough time.
The boxes are all marked.
It shouldn't be hard.
Well, I'm glad you're confident.
Listen, I know we're a
little short on people
but I promised Ezra I'd go
to this press event tonight.
Fine, just go. Ali and I
will wait at the school
to see who picks up the hard drive.
Is everything okay?
Rosewood PD wants to schedule
my second interview.
- I'm sorry.
- It's not your fault.
Isn't it?
You weren't drinking at
that bar to celebrate.
I'm gonna go get some rest.
Wait, Spencer.
Hanna and I aren't gonna
let you down this time.
I promise.
I hope that that still means something.
It does.
Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.
Where're you going?
Um, I'm going to meet the girls.
Don't bother, it's like watching a frog
trying to jump out of a
pot of boiling water.
- Why are you shutting me out?
- I'm not.
You showed me the game for a reason.
I'm ready to play
but I can't help you if
I'm kept in the dark.
A.D. is going to pick this
up from the school tonight.
It's the best chance
we've had in a long time
to expose this person.
So, let me be another set of eyes.
Mona, you know that I want that
but the others can't find
out that you're involved.
You didn't tell them that
I know about the game.
I couldn't.
They still don't trust me?
Fine, I'll help you and your
friends like I always do
and then crawl back under a rock.
Mona, come on, it's not like that.
I have literally bled
myself for you, Hanna.
Trying to protect you.
How many times do I
have to save all of you
until I'm finally part of the group?
Well, you might as well head
over to the high school.
Seems like we never left.
Hey, thank you for coming.
Thank you for coming.
Ezra, we really have to get started.
Yeah, okay.
Look, Ali, I'm sorry about earlier.
I'm just scared I won't
be able to do this.
So am I.
But mostly because I feel
like you're testing me.
I don't know what the tests are, but...
I know that I'm failing.
This way!
Ali.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. I think so.
- What happened?
- Someone knocked me down.
They flew past me so fast I
didn't get to see who it was.
I'm gonna get you home, okay?
- But what about the...
- No, forget it.
They're probably long gone anyway.
Okay. Come on.
It's gonna be okay.
Hey, Mom...
I'm fine. Really. It
wasn't bad a fall.
It was an, an exorcism ofof sorts
writing the book.
I had to confront a lot of demons.
But, thankfully, I didn't
have to do it on my own.
Any questions or...
Yes, lady in red.
Hi. I'm just curious.
Is there another book in the works?
Are we gonna get to continue
your journey with Nicole?
No, I'm afraid not.
I am about to start another journey
I am getting married to Aria Montgomery
my coauthor, and this
story may be about Nicole
but my inspiration in work, in life
and in every sense of the word, is Aria.
What a monster.
I know that Lucas
destroyed your memorial
but do we really think he's
as disgusting as all this?
I could kick myself. I was
so close to catching him.
I'm just glad
he didn't hurt you guys.
He clearly didn't expect you to be home.
Exactly. He knew we were at the school.
I think the hard drive
thing was a setup.
Diddid you catch a glimpse of him?
No, if Lucas is A.D., he
definitely has a helper.
What do you mean?
There's no way whoever's at that school
could beat us back here.
Em, it's gonna be okay.
- Wewe can fix it.
- Here.
Look, we can glue this
back together, see?
Em, don't let this scare you.
When you do that, you give A.D. power.
Of course I'm scared.
I mean, this is supposed to be the baby's
room and now I know we'll never be safe.
Aria, is this yours?
Yeah.
It's funny I thought I heard something
drop on the floor when I came in.
- Thank you.
- I can't be in here anymore.
Come on, let's go.
- Hanna, what is taking so long?
- I can't find it.
I can't find it anywhere.
You have to help me.
What? I thought the boxes were marked.
They are, but it wasn't in there.
- Hanna, we have to go.
- No. Not until I find it.
If I don't turn this system
back on, we're going to jail.
Caleb, I'm not letting Spencer
go down for something I did.
We have to find that credit
card slip, we promised her.
What the hell are you doing?
Have you lost your mind?
- Getting rid of the evidence.
- No.
An entire police force
is going to come in here
and pick through that. They're
gonna find it eventually.
There'll be nothing left to find.
Let's go.
Can you hurry up?
My stomach has done so many backflips
I can join the Olympic team.
Give me a second.
Okay, I have to run downstairs
and reboot the security system.
- Are you okay on your own?
- Yeah, go.
Hey, Han, I'm still
at the school. Alone.
Your gal pals mistook me for Uber A
chased me and then just took off.
Must've scared the real
devil away, because no one
has showed up to get this thing.
Call me back.
- Hello.
- Do you know why I'm calling?
How many guesses do I get?
You took something from
me, and if I don't get it back.
I'm sending an officer to your door.
I'm sorry, I can't help you if I don't
know what you're talking about.
You think this is funny?
You think this is a game?
Stop jerking me around and
give me the damn drive.
If I had that thumb drive
that would mean that I
was in your apartment
alone with you that night.
I wonder if people would
think that was strange.
It's over Lucas. We know it was you.
Look, I can explain why I'm here.
Did it feel good to scare us?
- Did it make you feel powerful?
- What?
You smeared blood on a crib.
- Maybe he didn't.
- Are you crazy?
If he isn't A.D. then why is he here?
- I'm not staying.
- Lucas, at least tell me why.
I saw the police tape. I
know you took it back.
Being our alibi after
Charlotte was murdered.
- You saw that?
- It didn't work the first time.
So now you're sending body parts.
What the hell is she talking about?
If you don't know, why
are you so freaked out?
Because of the book.
Because of my friendship with Charles.
I figured he found out.
But I swear, I swear that
I didn't know that he...
She was the one who was torturing you.
I didn't think that he and
Charlotte were the same person.
You just said that you stayed friends.
Over email.
If you didn't know that
you were friends with A
then why would you lie about it
after you found out.
Lucas, speak!
Because it may be a part of the reason
why you were tortured.
Most of the emails that
I sent in high school
were about mean queen Alison.
And her loyal band of followers.
I gave details about how you
made my life a living hell.
And how the rest of you just watched.
So that's why you stole
back the comic book.
It's a graphic novel and I didn't.
It was sent to me, along with this.
"Want to keep your friendship a secret?
Meet me at the Radley."
I went but nobody showed up.
Why'd you come back here if
you already had the book?
Because there's a second book.
One that was done much later.
It turned the idea of
vengeance into a game.
A game?
But I came back tonight
because I didn't want
whoever sent that note to have it.
Where is it? Where is the other book?
I was too late.
How did the book end?
I don't know.
It was never finished.
Thanks for that.
Lucas?
I believe you.
That you weren't part
of what happened to us.
But why is the factory for sale?
And was our business
partnership ever real?
I think you're so talented, Hanna.
I just...
I had trouble getting other people
to take a chance on you.
Well, what about the investors?
You're lookin' at him.
I was too embarrassed to tell you
that I couldn't do it anymore.
So my friends made your life
miserable in high school.
They almost broke your
collarbone tonight
and now you're telling me that...
I lost all your money.
I'll make it back again.
Besides... it was worth it.
How was it worth it?
What's worth losing everything?
You.
Thank you.
I never doubted that you were...
I know.
I know.
This is gonna be a very short interview.
Then why couldn't it wait?
Earlier tonight the
Radley Bar was flooded.
Destroying all the
receipts stored there.
And we know that the
flooding was deliberate.
But security cams went dark
during the exact ten minutes we need.
That must make your job very difficult.
Almost impossible.
Almost.
We'll just have to broaden the
scope of my investigation.
- Of a flood?
- Of a homicide.
Let's hope your friends
are as lucky as you are.
You were a crazy person tonight.
Me?
I was scared you were gonna
tear Lucas' head off.
I thought he was A.D.
Besides, you were the one that used
a Pottery Barn candlestick
as a deadly weapon.
I don't know why I thought
I had to protect you.
You're basically the
strongest woman I know.
You've always protected me, Em.
Ever since I met you, I
knew I could count on you.
So why did you always push me away?
I don't know.
But I'm ready to stop.
I wanna do this... together.
What do you mean, together?
I wanna be a family.
Alison, I need to be clear about...
Over the years, I've been in
so many failed relationships.
And I always made excuses why.
But I know the reason.
Paige tried to get me to say it
but I didn't wanna say it to her.
- What did Paige...
- I love you.
You told me not to do
this until I was ready.
Do what?
This.
