5 Episode 24 I'm a Good Girl, I Am
[Courtroom]
Robson: Counselor, will you call your
next witness, please?
Lawyer: The Commonwealth calls Lesli
Stone to take the stand.
Emily: I knew she was trouble.
Juliet: oh god
Aria: Where's she been all this time?
Spencer: Probably took her a while to
cross the River Styx.
Lesli: I do
Lawyer: So you hadn't seen your friend
since the school year began, but you were in constant communication.
Lesli: Mona and I talked on the phone a
lot. We grew very close last summer. We texted all the time.
Lawyer: And on one occasion, Mona actually
sent you a card, correct?
Lesli: Yes.
Lawyer: And in this card, mailed two
weeks before Thanksgiving, what did Mona tell you?
Lesli: She was having a hard time, and
she had been threatened by her.
Lawyer: And what was the nature of this
threat?
Lesli: Ally said if Mona opened her trap
about the fake kidnapping that she'd be eaten by worms.
Lawyer: Objection. Hearsay.
Lawyer: The witness is quoting the
victim, Your Honor. It's all in the card.
Robson: Objection overruled.
Lawyer: And why have you decided to
share this card with us now, Lesli?
Lesli: I couldn't find it. It came
during midterms, and I stuck it in a textbook. And honestly, I didn't take it
seriously enough.
Lawyer: Why?
Lesli: Everyone has feuds in high school.
I didn't realize what Mona was dealing with until it was too late. And then,
when I came to see her mom,
Lawyer: um What happened then?
Lesli: I realized something weird was
going on. Even though Alison was already locked up, her friends were all on
edge about anyone asking any questions, or touching Mona's things. I was
practically attacked by Mona's boyfriend for borrowing a book from her room.
Lawyer: Do you think that Alison's
friends were hiding something to protect her?
Lesli: Yes. One of them, Hanna Marin,
wouldn't even let me go into Mona's bedroom. She stalked me the entire time I
was in Rosewood.
Emily: What are you doing?
Spencer: Calling Caleb.
Lawyer: Did you share your observations
with Mona's mother?
Spencer: If you're on your way there,
tell Hanna that she just got tossed under another wheel of the bus. You should
probably call her mom, but, um us first.
[Spencer’s house]
Hanna: Stalked her? I did not stalk her.
You told me to keep an eye on her at all times.
Spencer: I probably would've let her go
to the bathroom by herself.
Alison: Who the hell is Lesli Stone? I
mean, does she go to our school, because I've never even heard her name before
today.
Hanna: She lives with Mona's
grandparents. Last summer, they became besties.
Emily: A bestie who couldn't be bothered
to go to her funeral.
Alison: Yeah, and somehow dug up a
greeting card that makes me look like Squeaky Fromme.
Aria: But, guys, what if Lesli's here on
behalf of another friend?
Hanna: She's not "A's" pawn. Lesli
really cared about Mona. That's why she wants to see Ali fry.
Juliet: Ali, what does your lawyer say
about this?
Alison: Guys, we have nothing. What
happened at the Varjak Trail?
Aria: It led us back to Mona's house, and this paper
filled with weird phrases.
Alison: I need something. I'm about to
get life in prison because Mona wanted to use her last Laurel and Hardy stamp.
Spencer: Alison, what else can we do? We
questioned Cyrus, we hunted down the pizza box number. Hanna even tried to tell
Tanner about "A" You don't have an alibi.
Alison: Now you're sounding like my
lawyer. She thinks going after a possible witness is a complete waste of time.
Hanna: Wait. What witness?
Alison: Someone might have seen me, - on
Thanksgiving.
Juliet: At the playground?
Spencer: You said that you didn't see
anybody.
Alison: I didn't, but I might not have
been there alone.
Hanna: Why'd you run?
Alison: I thought it might've been
"A," but now I'm not so sure.
Aria: So you don't know if it was a man
or a woman.
Juliet: Or a squirrel.
Alison: I saw the jacket, and maybe
someone was sleeping in there.
Emily: Look, Ali, maybe if we went back
there. Hello. What happened?
Spencer: Her time's up.
[Park]
Juliet: Does Alison know we're doing this?
- Did you talk to her? –
Emily: No, I didn't want to get her
hopes up. Or Hanna's.
Man: Can I help you?
Spencer: Um, yeah. Maybe. We were just
looking for somebody.
Man: Playing hide-and-seek?
Emily: Yeah.
Juliet: Sorta.
Spencer: Um, listen, this might sound a little
bit crazy, but we're just looking to talk to anybody who might spend a lot of
time here.
Man: That would be me. Yeah, my group
comes up here a couple of times a month. Our church bought the lot.
Emily: Have you ever seen anyone
sleeping in here?
Spencer: Or somebody who might spend a
lot of time here by themselves during the day?
Man: I've never seen anyone else up here
besides us. But if you're trying to help the homeless, we're doing a really
neat Easter supper. We could always use more volunteers.
Spencer: Thank you.
[School]
Spencer: What? Oh, my God!
Juliet: Wait.
Emily: Let me ask the questions, okay?
You can be aggressive sometimes. I don't want to scare her. Hey. I'm Emily.
This is Spencer and this is Juliet
Spencer: Hi.
Emily: We noticed that patch on your
jacket. We were wondering if you were part of the youth group.
Girl: Why?
Spencer: Did you ever spend time at
River Road playground?
Emily: Um, we're looking for someone who
might've been there on Thanksgiving.
Girl: I wasn't.
Juliet: Okay, well, one of our friends was,
and she heard thought she might've heard someone who would've seen her that
night. So I just wanna ask you if You told her.
Girl: You promised you wouldn't, and you
told your daughter. How else would they know?
[Spencer’s house]
Spencer: Will you drink tomato juice?
Emily: Whatever. I don't care.
Spencer: Actually, you might. This could
be sauce.
Juliet: That girl will never talk to us. And
if Aria's mom won't help us, we have to ask Toby.
Emily: He's a policeman, Spencer. And if
Kendra's such a good girl, she's not gonna lie to someone wearing that uniform.
Spencer: Just please forget about Toby.
Emily: What happened between you two in
that stairwell?
Spencer: Nothing. We danced around the
fact that I basically dated two other guys.
Juliet: Whoa, back up. What do you mean,
dated?
Spencer: Okay, stop looking at me like
I'm the town pump. There were a few spontaneous kisses, that's all.
Emily: Who kissed who?
Spencer: Does it matter? I wasn't
unconscious, Emily. And honestly, it felt really good to be with somebody who
wanted to be with me. Something that Toby hasn't wanted since he put on that
stupid uniform.
Juliet: Closed mouth or open?
Spencer: Drink your sauce.
Girl: Mrs. Montgomery called me. We need
to talk.
Lawyer: How long were you out there?
Girl: Something like that.
Lawyer: And you were in the pipe the
whole time? Did you ever see anyone walk by?
Girl: No.
Emily: But she heard a voice. You heard
a voice, right?
Lawyer: Emily? I got this. Did you hear
a voice?
Girl: Yes.
Spencer: A girl's voice. Sorry
Lawyer: Who was she talking to?
Girl: Sounded like she was on the phone.
Lawyer: And do you recall what she said?
Girl: Not really. My heart was pounding.
Lawyer: Thank you for stepping forward,
Kendra. If we need anything else, we'll call you.
Juliet: Wait, no, why is she leaving?
Lawyer: Because it's 9:15 on a school
night, and I'm betting that Kendra has algebra homework. Good night.
Spencer: But that's not the end of her
story. She heard Alison get in her car.
Lawyer: It's been a long day, ladies.
Emily: But if Kendra doesn't know what
you'll be asking her on the stand
Lawyer: I'm not putting Kendra on the
stand.
Juliet: What?! Why?
Lawyer: No jury is going to be swayed by
a witness who earlier in the day saw eight fingers on one hand, and was picking
up NPR through her cavity fillings. We are not that desperate.
Spencer: Yes, we are.
Emily: We don't have anybody else.
Lawyer: Yes, we do. I'm putting Alison
on the stand.
[Courtroom]
Lawyer: These stills were taken from the
vicious attack on Mona.
As the forensics expert testified, the
assailant hurled the victim with considerable force, strength that came from
the assailant's right arm. Alison, will you please toss that to me? I'm gonna
back up a little bit.
Lawyer: Objection. Where's counsel going
with this? Are we gonna watch the defendant skip rope, too?
Robson: Ms. Marcus, I don't like edible
objects thrown in my courtroom.
Lawyer: Please, Your Honor, I'm building
a foundation.
Robson: Get on with it.
Lawyer: Alison, toss that to me over
here. Again, please. And one more time. Was that last pass painful because of
the recent burn to that arm?
Alison: No, ma'am. My elbow, this part
of my arm, I once broke it and it never completely healed.
Lawyer: How old were you when you broke
it?
Alison: Around three maybe.
Lawyer: You were just over
two-and-a-half. And I have doctors' reports that show that the fracture never
healed properly. Ladies and gentlemen, this victim was slammed against the
wall. Hurled like a rag doll, something that Alison isn't even capable of doing
with a one-pound grapefruit.
A while later
Lawyer: Alison, I'm sorry. Frankly
surprised to hear about your injury at this late juncture. Did this prevent you
from participating in your school's PE program?
Alison: No, sir.
Lawyer: Have you had to steer away from
certain sports?
Alison: Yes, I have.
Lawyer: What about summers at sleep-away
camp? Did that weak arm keep you from taking electives like archery? Shall I
repeat the question? Did you take archery?
Alison: I don't remember.
Lawyer: Well, let's refresh your memory.
You not only took it, you were darn good at it. Can you explain to the jury how
you managed to beat out every camper when the contest requires shooting at five
separate targets from the same spot? Alison?
Juliet,
Aria, Emily and spencer’s phones buzzes
Text reads: “Bullseye, bitches! – A”
Lawyer: Your Honor, can you instruct the
witness to answer the question?
Robson: Miss DiLaurentis, please answer
Mr. Sirk's question. Counselor, would you please repeat the question for the
witness?
A while later
Robson: Have you reached a verdict?
Jury: We have, Your Honor. In the case
of the Commonwealth v. Alison DiLaurentis, we, the jury, find the defendant
guilty of murder in the first degree.
Robson: Order
