Pretty Little Liars (2010–2017): Season 7, Episode 2 - Bedlam - full transcript

Previously on
"Pretty Little Liars... "

I never stopped loving you.

Aria, they're gonna market
the hell out of this book.

- It's gonna be huge.
- Oh, my God, we did it.

I lied to you earlier,
Aria. I did see Ali.

And I'm pretty sure she
confessed to killing 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.

I'm gonna make
sure you live a long life

rotting away in here.



I know you killed Charlotte.

Stop! Please, you have
to help me, please.

Are you sure about this?

Yes, I'm sure.

If someone tried to
hurt you, the police...

I have to talk to my
friends before I do anything.

I understand.

You're a friend of my niece, of Alison.

I never said anything about Alison.

I can tell by the way
that you're looking at me.

You knew my sister
Jessica, Alison's mother

so you must be a friend of Alison's.

Ali never mentioned anything

about her mother having a sister.



Let alone a twin sister?

- What's your name?
- Hanna.

Families are very
complicated things, Hanna.

Yeah, I've noticed.

Many families have secrets.

Most families, really.

And sometimes, those
secrets are actual people.

Imagine that.

And that's who you are?

One of those secret people?

Not anymore.

Here, Hanna.

Hanna, are you sure you don't
want to go to the doctor?

- I'm sure.
- Hanna, I think you should.

The doctors are gonna ask questions.

And then, I'll have to lie.
No doctors, no questions.

Hanna, I'm sorry, but
you have to tell us

about Mary Drake picking you up.

Is she real?

I mean, is she really
who she says she is?

We think so.

Yeah, she was
a patient at Radley.

- We found her file.
- What?

She's Alison's aunt,
Charlotte's biological mother.

The DiLaurentis family
adopted Charlotte.

So it's her.

Mary Drake, she's been
after us all along.

Someone killed her daughter

and then she shows up to get even.

Yeah, we're pretty
sure she didn't show up

just to get into the resort business.

She must have been
chasing me when I got out.

But why wouldn't she just run me over

instead of bringing me here?

Because we gave her
exactly what she wanted.

Charlotte's killer?

We're convinced it's Alison.

We found evidence.

Spencer, can I have something
stronger than coffee in here?

Yeah.

This belongs to you.

Thanks.

Oh, that's Mona.

Well, be careful in case it isn't.

Well, there was nobody there, just this.

"Couldn't have done it without you.

Glad we're on the same team. A.D."

It's from Lucas.

Sit down. I can do that.

I can boil my own water. Thanks.

Can I, uh, borrow you for a minute?

So are you gonna take
Lucas up on his offer?

He's crazy.

He sees your potential.

Potential for what?

For what you could do
if you were in charge.

Caleb, haven't you noticed?

None of us are in charge
of anything around here.

Well, we can fix that.

No one's giving up on anybody.

Then what?

Suppose we get through that...

where does that leave us?

Back to where we started?

Well, I guess it depends
on how far back we wanna go.

Look, in that room at the resort

before all the lights went off

and someone pushed me
down a hole, I was scared.

Me too.

But you were there.

I always felt safe around you.

Even when we weren't getting
along, you made me feel safe.

Maybe that's why what
happened happened...

with us.

So you think we just went back

to what we used to be for a minute?

Yeah.

Only for a minute.

Where is Spencer?

- Hey, you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

Uh, I just wanted to be
by myself for a minute.

I think we're all feeling
a little lost right now.

I'm fine.

Do you think Ali's safe?

At Welby?

I mean, places like that
are designed to keep people

from getting out, not from getting in.

Maybe we need to warn Elliott.

Well, what do you wanna tell him?

'That we told someone his wife'

killed her own sister
who's actually her cousin?

I mean, he'd lock us up.

Spencer.

Hey, how about I take you home?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Em, keep an eye on Hanna.

- You feel it too?
- Yeah, she's got that look.

The dollhouse look.

Bye.

Do you wanna give Jordan a call?

And tell him what?

That I got myself a little
kidnapped for a while?

Maybe you just wanna hear his voice.

It's too late to call
him now. I'll do it later.

Hey, aren't you tired?

Um, no, I shot past
tired a long time ago.

Well, we should probably
get some sleep while we can.

Yeah, I just have to
finish this up for my mom.

Turns out there's way more paperwork

when you win instead of lose.

I'm really glad that Hanna's safe.

We all are.

That was so dangerous.
I should've stopped her.

You know, Hanna's like
an aircraft carrier.

Lot of firepower, but
pretty difficult to maneuver.

Yeah, well, I guess they call
ships "she" for a reason, huh?

- Come to bed.
- I will soon.

Hello.

Hello?

Help me.

Who is this?

Help me, Emily.

Ali?

Em, I need you.

Ali, are you alright?

- Let go.
- Hello.

- Give me the phone.
- No. No.

Ali?

No, you made a mistake. I
visited her the other day.

I'm the one that brought her here.

Mrs. Rollins' visiting
instructions have been changed.

- Family only.
- W-why did they change?

Did something happen?

All I can tell you is the only visitors

she's allowed are family members.

Is Dr. Rollins here?
Can you page him, please?

Dr. Rollins is right over there.

- Elliott.
- Emily.

Thank you.

They won't let me in to see Ali.

Those are my instructions.

Is she alright? Has something happened?

I've decided Alison will be better off

in isolation right now.

Okay, can I just see her for a minute?

It's not in Ali's best
interests or yours.

So, when can she have visitors?

As soon as I think
she can, I'll call you.

I have to go. I'm sorry.

Thanks.

So how is Alison doing?

I heard she was in the hospital.

I wish people would
just leave her alone.

I was just asking how she's doing.

Sorry.

- So how are you?
- I'm kinda tired.

Did you get the package
that I sent over?

Lucas, why are you doing this for me?

I mean, you could be out

building some private
spaceship or something.

The private spaceship market

is a little overcrowded at the moment.

- Did you look at the papers?
- There were a lot of them.

Lot of those little
"Sign here" stickers.

Why do you make it so hard for somebody

to do something nice for you?

Why do you resist it so much?

Look, Lucas, I think you
think I'm somebody I'm not.

Everyone thinks I'm somebody I'm not.

Somebody smarter...

braver, sharper.

But I'm not.

Yes, you are. That's the point.

Hanna, I think you want this.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have offered it.

But I do need an answer.

We need to file a business plan

or we're gonna lose the tax credit.

Look, I'm just saying,
I'm not the best person

when it comes to making decisions.

Well, Hanna, not making a decision...

that's a decision.

If you could've heard her on the phone.

Maybe she killed
Charlotte, maybe she didn't.

We can't just leave her in
there with no one protecting her.

Okay, well, did you tell
Elliott about the call?

No, I didn't want him to
know who she was calling.

So, where did you leave things with him?

He said he'll call me when she improves.

But I don't think we can wait.

Um, it's my work. I'll call them back.

- What about Mary Drake?
- What about her?

She's family, she has access, you know?

Should we try and use her?

Ask Mary to take us to see Ali?

Em, we think this woman might be Uber A.

- You wanna ask her to help?
- Okay.

Maybe it's better that
we go in there with her

than let her go in by herself.

No, we can't take that chance.

I think we both saw this coming.

Apparently, one of us
saw it before the other.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, so am I.

It's just coming home

and seeing my friends and everything

that Ali's going through
I realize I've got a lot

of unresolved things in my life

and it wouldn't be fair to you.

I think you want me to say "Thank you"

but I'm not going to.

No, I just want you to understand.

I've gotta work through these things.

It doesn't have anything
to do with the book or Ezra.

It's all me.

It's just about you and me.

Yeah. I'm sorry...

Aria, I think you don't
have to say that anymore.

I'm...

I got a surprise too.

It's not as big as yours, but, um...

I'm back on the book.

That's what I came
here to tell you.

- You're back on the book?
- Yeah.

I convinced Jillian
that I'd be able to prep

the manuscript faster than
anyone else, and she agreed.

You're gonna edit the book?

More that I'll be a kind
of creative gatekeeper.

Make sure everything goes well

and everybody stays reasonably happy.

Do we have a problem?

I-I don't know. Do we?

You worked hard for this.

I'd like to see you get
something you've always wanted.

We're almost there, aren't we?

Yeah, almost.

Then we'll do it.

We'll make it work.

Yeah, at least we can cross
the finish line together.

Not just first class.

First class, front row,
window, the side with the door.

Because she has to be
the last one on the plane

and the first one off.

No, don't say you'll try, just do it.

I need my napkin.

Huh?

Under your drink, that's my napkin.

Oh, yeah, sure.

God, don't tear it.

Sorry.

What's wrong?

You just melted a really
important phone number.

That's what's wrong.

You and your sweaty glass.

Yeah. It's okay.

See, the ink ran, but you can see

where the pen pressed into the napkin.

See? There.

- Thank you.
- Mm.

Sorry about my sweaty glass.

It's okay.

So what do they charge you
for office space around here?

I'm a really good tipper.

Long day at the office? Can
I get you something to eat?

Suppose I'm meeting someone?

You're not.

How do you know that?

Well, you ordered a second drink.

If you were meeting someone

you would've nursed your first drink.

Have you been counting my drinks?

I notice details.

Interesting how your sweaty glass

just happened to land on
my phone number, isn't it?

Well, that is the most interesting thing

that's happened to me all night.

- We just wanna see her.
- All we need is five minutes.

If you really wanna help

you'll give Alison
time and space to heal.

That's what she needs and that's what

I'm going to make sure she gets.

I'm sorry if you
can't understand that.

I know you're her friends

but I am her husband and her doctor.

Maybe that's not the best combination.

Meaning what?

Meaning maybe we're not the only ones

who need a little objectivity.

Well, maybe I'm not the
most objective person.

Perhaps that's because
I've spent the best part

of five years taking
care of Ali and Charlotte.

I lack the clarity you
have, being gone so long.

Alright, this isn't about who
cares about Alison the most.

We all wanna see her get better.

That's what I'm trying to do.

And, yes, I have consulted other doctors

and I've spoken to Jason.

- You have?
- Yes.

He approves of her treatment.

- What about Mary Drake?
- I won't let Mary Drake visit.

I'm concerned about Ali's reaction

to someone who looks
so much like her mother.

- But that's Ali's aunt...
- I'm going to do what's best.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

Is that the kind of diplomacy
you learned in Washington?

I'm sorry, Aria, I have a very
low tolerance for condescension.

Eyes on the prize, Spencer.
We want something from him.

Yeah, and I don't think
we're going to get it.

Which means that Alison
stays on one side of the wall

and we're on the other side.

"She's mine now. No take
backs. No do-overs. A.D."

She's mine now?

Does that mean that
A.D. is already in Welby?

What's the meaning of this?

It's a hostile takeover.

- Of what?
- Of you.

What makes you think
it has to be hostile?

Well, I haven't exactly been
the model fiancée lately

so I thought I'll put a
little more effort into it.

You know, that's not
supposed to be a job.

I think the idea is you're
supposed to have fun.

I remember fun.

Do you?

Faintly.

You know, sometimes you turn into

the most serious person I've ever known.

Okay, I didn't come here to be insulted.

Not all the time. Just lately.

Since you've been
spending time in Rosewood.

Yeah, well, it can
have that effect on you.

Then why do you keep going back there?

- Do you know what I wanna do?
- What do you wanna do?

Do you remember that bar off
Columbus where we first met?

Yes, I do.

Well, I wanna go back there

and buy you a drink.

And I wanna go back
there and flirt with you

and start all over again.

Is that something that
might interest you?

Elliott's not gonna help
us. We have to do something.

Okay, something does not include
making a deal with the devil.

Besides, you heard him,
Mary cannot get in there

anymore than we can.

Okay, but what if we did it together?

If we used Mary Drake to get us in.

No, Emily, it's not happening.

Hey, look, I'm not saying
that we let her in the club.

I'm not even saying
that we should trust her.

But we need a way to Ali and right now

Mary Drake is the closest
thing to a key that we've got.

We don't know anything about her.

You know more about
her than anybody else.

You were in there, Spencer.

In Radley, before the designer
cocktails and the valet parking.

You were locked in there.

You know how that feels.

And you know what that
can do to a person.

Rollins talked to Jason?

That's what he said.

According to Toby, that's something

that nobody else has managed to do.

Are the police looking for Jason?

Toby is. He needs someone to
confirm Mary Drake's story.

Confirmation other than her face?

People don't seem to remember
Ali's mother having a sister.

When do you meet with Liam?

Uh, 4 o'clock.

Can we make this work with him?

Of course, we can make it work. I think.

At least long enough to finish the book.

I was in such a rush to get it over with

that I broke up with
him before he told me

that he was back on the book.

I really complicated the situation.

All due respect, things
have been complicated

for quite some time.

This book means as much
to Liam as it does to us

and that's why he wants to work on it.

Yeah, it might mean as much to him

but it does not mean the same things.

I promise I will make this work.

And there's a problem
with his backstory.

I just noticed it
this last time through.

Uh, what-what sort of problem?

The predatory nature of his actions.

You think he comes across as predatory?

I understand the
impulse, the Lolita myth.

Not the Nabokov original
but the whole older man

inappropriately young girl idea

that's been trashed by lesser writers.

Well, uh, we can't all be Nabokov.

Some of us can't even
manage Nicholas Sparks.

Well, at least Sparks
understands what a reader

can tolerate and what
makes their skin crawl.

Are we looking at the same pages here?

Because they aren't
that far apart in age

so I'm having a little trouble
seeing what you're seeing here.

That's because he's your hero.

You're invested in
justifying his actions.

You're too close to see
him as he really is.

Listen, I'm just being frank here.

If-if I can't be
frank, I can't help you.

- We all want the best book.
- Exactly.

And right now,
there's this friction

between your chapters and Aria's.

- Friction?
- Look.

Neither one of us want
Aria to look foolish, right?

Like she let herself
get talked into something

that she didn't want.

You mean Aria's character.

Yeah, her character.

I'm here to protect this book.

And that means protecting
the authors. Both of them.

Protecting from what?

A loss of perspective. Poor judgment.

- Avoidable bad choices.
- That's a big responsibility.

- And I take it very seriously.
- Yes.

I can see that.

I-I just, I understand
that I have commitments

but I have commitments here too.

Yes, and you agreed.

I will get a hard date as soon as I can.

Thank you. Bye.

- Hello, Spencer.
- Miss Drake.

I saw you in here, and I thought
I'd ask about your friend.

About Hanna. How is she?

Uh, she's, she's alright.

Has she told you any more
about what happened to her?

No. No, not much.

I have to tell you, I don't feel

especially good about the other night.

What about it?

Letting Hanna talk me into taking her

to your house instead of
the police or the hospital.

- So why did you?
- She insisted.

Yes but you were the one
who was driving the car.

You could have taken her to the police.

You could have taken her to the doctor.

You could have taken her
anywhere, but you didn't. Why?

Frankly, Spencer, my
experiences with hospitals

and the police haven't
always been the best.

I'm sorry, what do you mean?

I told you that my
sister and I had issues.

That's true, but not really honest.

One of the most distressing
things about Alison

being where she is right now is that

I have had similar experiences.

I spent time, considerable time

in Radley when it was a sanitarium.

May I ask you why?

Why you were at Radley?

I'm gonna tell you this

because I want you to understand

why I'm so worried about Alison.

We were 14, my sister and I.

Jessica was babysitting.

She called me to complain that
the baby wouldn't stop crying.

It was the Carver baby, Teddy.

He was ten months old, and he had a cold

and he must have been miserable.

She begged me to come and help her.

I didn't want to go, but I did.

And when I got there, the baby
was upstairs finally asleep.

Jessica said she had given him a bath

and he had fallen right off.

Then she asked me to stay with Teddy

so she could meet up with Matt Brooks.

Jessica left.

And when the Carvers came
home, I told them that

Jessica had called me
because she had a headache.

Mrs. Carver went upstairs.

Mr. Carver was giving
me Jessica's money.

Mrs. Carver started to scream.

She screamed like she was on fire.

Teddy was dead.

When they found Jessica, she said

well, the baby had
been fine when she left.

- But you told them...
- They believed Jessica.

Everybody always believed Jessica.

She was the warm one.

And that was why your
parents put you in Radley.

It was that or prison.

They thought I'd be safer.

At least that's what they told me.

Are you sure?

Liam can be really
passionate about writing.

What I got wasn't
criticism. It was anger.

Anger at what?

At me.

And I promised to keep my side clean

but if every note session
is gonna be a ten-round bout

I-I don't know what's
gonna be left of this book

or of any of us.

I don't understand.

Aria, what does Liam really
know about you and me?

Well, this is the address.

I'm afraid it's gone.

No, it can't be gone.

Oh, we haven't been here in a long time.

No, it cannot be gone.

I mean, they-they can't
just take it away like that.

You can't just pull out a building

like it was a bad tooth or something.

It's New York City, Hanna.

They tear things down as
quickly as they put them up.

Well, this was important.

Okay, I needed this to be
here right where I left it.

I was counting on it.

I mean, Jordan, this
is where we first met.

And now we don't have
a beginning anymore

because they tore it down.

Who do you people think you are?

Hey, hey, hey, hey. What's wrong?

Tell me and I'll fix it.

I was gonna make it perfect this time.

You know, everybody gets what they want.

God, I had it all figured
out and now it's ruined.

It's gone, and it'll never work now.

W-we'll just go someplace else.

They'll just tear that
down too. Don't you get it?

I'm a one-woman demolition derby.

Okay, I can't do this to you.

What do you want?

Hanna, I would move
Heaven and Earth for you?

You know that, don't you?

Yes... I do

and I am so sorry.

Hanna, come on. This can't be it.

Miss Drake?

Emily Fields.

I was at Spencer's when
you dropped off Hanna.

Emily. Yes.

Are you staying here now?

No, I was just...

thinking about this place today

and wondering what it looked like now.

Do you wanna sit down?

Yes, I think I would.

I saw they kept the
big gates out in front.

Yeah, they did.

At night, boys from town used
to rattle sticks on the bars.

Somebody would dare them to go
to the nut house after midnight.

I thought it was pretty
frightening during the day.

It was.

But sometimes you find tenderness

in the last place you'd expect.

And that's really all
any of us needs to survive

is a little tenderness
at the right moment.

I went to visit Ali this morning.

How is she?

They wouldn't let me in to see her.

Who wouldn't let you in?

Elliot or Dr. Rollins.

He doesn't want me to see her either.

But you-you've been talking
to him about her, right?

Over the phone. Once.

Are you satisfied with how
he's been taking care of her?

Oh, yes.

I suppose.

Overall. I mean, he's very professional.

Yeah.

But it does take some
getting used to him

being her new husband and her doctor.

I'm the one that took Ali to Welby

and I can't help but wonder
if I did the right thing.

You wanted to help.

Yeah, but I don't know if I did.

You're Ali's aunt.

Maybe if you talk to
somebody at the sanitarium...

I don't know, Emily.

That would be like
challenging Dr. Rollins.

Yeah, I understand.

Perhaps you and I can go
to the sanitarium together.

Look, I feel bad about
how we left things today.

If we don't work on this project
together, it'll be another one.

Can I borrow your pen?

My pen?

To sign these papers, partner.

You're right. I want this.

And right now, I want this
more than anything else.

You said that we could work together.

That we could all be adults.

- I meant it when I said it.
- Then what happened?

I don't know.

Reading his pages again
and then sitting there

listening to him while he was talking...

He has a way with words.

- I used to admire that.
- You don't anymore?

No, now I am suspicious.

Of what?

It was a lot of unconnected things

that I didn't wanna connect
and then they clicked

together on their own.

Your history, what you've been writing

how you've been writing it.

What changes in a room when
you guys are alone together

and then somebody else walks in?

Okay, and what do all
these connections mean?

I think you were seduced
by your English teacher

when you were in high school.

It's not how it happened.

I just gave you a great
opening to lie one more time

and you didn't take it.

Look, there is no way that I
can possibly explain this to you.

Then try by telling me how
you'd explain it to yourself.

Okay, I used to think
what if there was a button

that I could push and all of the things

that have complicated my
life would just unhappen?

I would push it, and all of the people

that shouldn't have died
would still be alive.

I wouldn't have hurt
anyone or disappointed them

and no one would have
hurt me or lied to me

and this whole mess
would just be cleaned up.

But if I push that button,
I would be gone too.

I am me because of what has happened

what I've done and
because of who I love.

I like that person.

That me.

Mess and all.

'Emily?'

You were supposed to wake me up.

It took me longer to get
here than I thought it would.

I can't move.

I think something's wrong with me.

You're in the hospital.

We're gonna miss our flight.

We'll take the next one.

Ali, you called me last night.

Did I?

Yeah.

And you sounded scared.

Like you wanted help.

This is a scary place.

There's this lady that cries all night.

Am I in Radley?

No. No.

Well, that's good.

I was worried for a minute.

Mommy?

Why did you leave me?

I woke up, and there
was dirt all over me

and you wouldn't help.

Why did you
leave me in the ground?

It's so cold.

Alison.

You were wrong about Elliot.

He's not like what you said at all.

What about Elliot?

I didn't authorize this.

No visitors without my permission.

Out. Everyone. Right now.

Emily, no, don't go.

Emily, no!

No!

No!

What happened to her?

She wasn't like that when she came here.

Miss Drake, I'd like a word with you.

No one's to come in.

You're not supposed to be here.

I've been calling you for two days.

Your being here is not part of the plan.

Well, neither is what
you're doing to that girl.

- You've gone too far.
- You got what you wanted.

- The money is yours.
- Not yet it isn't.

Then stop wasting my time.

Listen to me.

Don't.

- Hello.
- Hey.

Dad's private
stock. - Mm-hmm.

Yes, it is.

What's the occasion?

I got fired.

- What?
- By text.

"You have abused the
generosity of this organization

and chosen to pursue partisan interests

over the greater good."

- Well, they're wrong.
- No, they're not.

I have been rather "distracted" lately.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks.

What are you gonna do now?

I don't know, um...

Stay with my mom's transition team.

Maybe go with her to Harrisburg...

if I can.

And what would be stopping you?

This town has its own
particular gravity.

We both know that.

How's Hanna?
