Hi, I'm Marlene King.
I'm the creator and executive producer
of "Pretty Little Liars."
And I'm sitting here in Spencer's barn
which is really the place where our story started six years ago.
And I'm with the amazing pretty little liars.
When we made this time jump, we literally wrapped one episode
one day, made the time jump the very next day.
I think that actually, like, was the biggest challenge.
It's like we knew what was coming up.
So we, I think we're all very excited.
I mean, when we got the news, we were all so excited.
Up until this point, like, we've been with the story.
When you-you write something, it's like, "Oh, yes."
This is, we're kind of acting it out real time.
And now with this jump, we have this sort of thing, like
filling in all we have not experienced
with somebody, and this is what sort of very strange
about all the situation is that
is that we have known these characters for so long
and then now it's, like, oh, we sort of catch up again.
Um, you know, reintroduced to something
we've kind of helped to craft.
Our wardrobe was very different.
We got to change our hair, which, you know
when you change, when you physically change yourself
it sort of helps you to fit into the character a little bit more.
'Cause you're ultimately still who you were.
You're just a little older and wiser and...
What are some thoughts you might have
about this upcoming season jumping five years?
Well, it's-it's great to be able to see Aria as a grown-up
and how our whole family dynamic changes a bit.
And then, of course, everyone wants to know
does she actually end up with Ezra
which I really wanna know myself.
I think Hanna’s gonna have a lot figured out.
And she's gonna look like she's got it all together.
But I think she's still prone to making some of the same mistakes
and, and, uh, you know, Ashley is gonna need to figure out
how much advice she can give her
and how much Hanna's gonna be willing to take.
'So, Ash, what can you tell us about'
'what Hanna's been doing for the last five years?'
In the prom episode, Caleb talks about going to New York.
Who's moving to New York?
We are.
If that's still your dream.
Yes, we move to New York.
Caleb did not go to college
'cause he doesn't need to.
He's that smart.
They moved to New York together
and he continued his journey on, like, in the tech world.
I'm officially an information risk analyst.
What's that?
I keep the hackers out.
Meanwhile, Hanna was going to school for fashion.
She goes to college for fashion at F.I.T.
And they live in Tribeca.
And, uh, this is like so what I would wanna do
like, in my real life.
Um, so I'm really excited about that.
We got to see your apartment in New York.
- Yes. - 'Tell us about that.'
That was a tiny, tiny apartment.
It was a shoebox.
It probably costs $3000 a month.
Uh, that's-that's how New York is.
Um, but it was cool.
It was actually like a good mix
of, like, Caleb and Hanna style.
I mean, she kinda took over the-the decoration mostly, but...
- Wall that you could decorate... - Yeah.
I think I there was just like a computer in there
and that was all I got, but still...
But, yeah, she just studied fashion
she became an intern for Zac Posen.
She went to Europe
um, and worked for him and met her current boss
Claudia Greco, who's like the Anna Wintour of fashion.
Um, and she becomes her assistant.
It was interesting to go from, you know, the end of 6A
and we're at the prom
and it's like this little bit romantic moment
and then when we come back in 6B
Hanna and Caleb are not in the same exact place.
Hi.
Things really didn't quite
work out with her and Caleb.
She was always gone.
A lot of travelling, and she didn't
really make time for her relationship with him.
It was strange a little bit.
Jump from super romantic to having anxiety
just to see this girl who's been
my girlfriend for six years, you know what I mean.
But, yeah, she comes back and she's engaged.
Let me see this?
It looked bigger when you posted it.
While she was in Europe, she met her fiance.
That was like the saddest part I've ever had
that I was away from Caleb.
Spencer went off to Georgetown, and I think really finally got
to actually focus on academics, uhm, for like the first time
'cause she was always dealing with, like, A and that mystery
and all this kind of, like, issuing her homework
to be in the woods.
You know, it's kind of snooping around.
Spencer and I just... went out of sync.
She and Toby really fell apart 'cause he was staying
in Rosewood, he was still on the police force.
Every chance that he can, he can go
he visits her, but, you know, he still has his life back
in Rosewood, he's still a police officer.
And they just really grew apart.
She was finally getting to do something that she wanted to do
and be in a major city and be involved in politics
and her career, and I think
he was still very, very much involved in a small town.
I like this town, but everywhere she went
it was, like, she saw something that she wanted to forget.
You've got to take a romance that's been working
for six years and kind of watch the moment when it all crumbles.
Now she's graduated Georgetown
and she's working on Capitol Hill.
- You work for a lobbyist. - No! We're not lobbyist.
We work with grassroots political organizations
to advance progressive legislation.
You're a lobbyist.
I don't think she's probably a glorified coffee gopher
uh, but she has high political aspirations.
He inherits a grip of money. And I say a lot of money.
Um, from... We finally find out from the house
that was blown up.
- He finally... By A. - By A. By A.
He inherits all this money and he buys three acres
outside of Rosewood to, uh, start building his dream home.
And, uh, you know, he's working on the force
and he, by accident walks into in a robbery.
And he apprehends the suspect
turns out the person that he saves
uh, is this girl named Yvonne Phillips
uh, who ends up being a very important person
uh, in the story and in his life.
Who do you think has changed the most
during our five-year time jump?
I know that the easy one is to say Ezra's changed the most
but I feel like...
I know, I know it's... But here's the thing...
You know, you're a writer, so you never know, like
you're-you're into this, like, world of darkness.
Yeah, my life's meaning, all that stuff...
I think Ca-Caleb has-has changed the most because it's, like we...
I mean, all over the whole course of the show
I mean, we come to somebody who's, who's really
you know, come up from a really bad situation
and got into this amazing kind of lifestyle.
And then our characters over this time jump
we go fishing every...
We go fishing. We're, like, best, best friends.
Yeah, we had a real bromance.
- Like best friends. - 'Yeah.'
Wow, you're bringing that flip-flops, Em?
It's Malibu.
I think for Emily it was about
going as far as she could.
Kind of an, I think California to her has always
held a special place in her heart.
So she moves to the west coast
and she goes to school there for a bit.
And then she drops out because after finding out
that her father passed away in the army
it was too much for her.
When my dad died, I just
couldn't see a point to it.
- To college? - Anything.
As much as as it was tough with her father passing
I think it was good for Emily to be in California
so she starts bartending in California.
But in the school and then her mom being back in Rosewood.
It was like a happy-sad thing to have to come back to Rosewood.
I think Emily comes back with the bigger secret.
Uh, I think that-that you three create secrets
in our first episode, back really
but Emily comes back with the secret which we won't spoil
that she is keeping from her friends and...
'Yeah, I think Emily comes back with the biggest baggage too.'
I think she is the most damaged
by, four years without, without A.
Yeah.
Coming up, our first new
"Pretty Little Liars" moment
that you haven't seen anywhere else.
Time for you to see your sister.
And later, the cast details
an all new threat to Rosewood.
Paranoia, blackmail, it's a life-threatening situation.
When "Pretty Little Liars, Five Years Forward" continues.
Cece... please don't do this.
Darcy tweeted
"Of course Spencer can defuse a bomb."
Dammit.
Andthentherewasone tweeted
"Emily didn't have a Plan B after swimming, huh?
And Lauren tweeted, "Emily is going to Pepperdine in Malibu"
which is in California.
Where is Paige? In California.
A mark.
You're about to see something no one else has seen.
Footage of an event that happened
in Rosewood, Pennsylvania after the last time
you saw the "Pretty Little Liars"
and before you'll see them again.
A lot can happen in five years.
For more than a decade, Charlotte has been told
she was a bad person.
I mean, if that's all a person hears
she begins to believe it.
It's gonna take years to reverse
that kind of damage.
How could my dad have done this to her?
'Your father has to live with himself.'
'That's his punishment.'
It's time for you to see your sister.
Do you think Alison has forgiven Charlotte
for all the torture?
I think she's trying.
I think there's a few things
that are harder than others.
It feels like Alison and Charlotte
are probably healing together.
It's really neat to see, um...
Alison, um, in a new light really connecting with Charlotte
and trusting her and working with her
you know, through these years.
But also Charlotte, uh, has this great doctor.
- 'Yes, she does.' - She does.
And you end up meeting him.
Dr. Rollins.
I think it's really fun for the fans
to see this new relationship bloom
because a lot of Alison's relationships
have been interesting and kind of dysfunctional a little bit
and he just, he treats her really well.
It needs to be a little bit more of a secret
because of the nature of their relationship
because he is a doctor.
So I think that's also kind of how easy it is for Alison
to kind of slip into
you know, the same old secrets and lies.
'Lucy, can you tell us, like, a little bit'
about what Aria has been doing since we last saw her.
You know, in the five years, I think she's in a good spot.
She's in a new relationship, she's fallen in love again.
Um, you know, I wanna believe that she really
loves this guy Liam, who she works with.
And she goes to Georgia, and then, um,
for a while, you know
if you keep up with Aria, you know, she's very creative.
And she has always loved photography.
So she's majoring in photography
finds a love of writing
um, transfers to Boston...
Which was her original love.
She has always loved reading. She has always loved writing.
I think that's why her and Ezra had such a, you know
obviously they're very attracted to each other
but they had an intellectual, um, attraction as well.
So, anyway, she goes to Boston
um, changes her major to writing
uh, finds a love of publishing.
And so when we catch up with her, she works for a publisher.
And that sort of, in a time jump, how her and Ezra
get reconnected is more, not in a romantic way
but they actually start working together.
I think Aria is in denial about a lot of things.
Maybe still in, you know, denial that she's fully over this.
I think if this happens to someone
the-the things that these girls have been through
I don't think you ever get over it.
Ever. I mean, you can pretend, you can get a new job
a new boyfriend, new friends, whatever.
Move to a different city, but I think that
it becomes who you are.
I think that those years
molded who they are.
And I think, yeah, it's horrible, it's terrible
but I think these are four very strong girls.
And I think that what happened gave them strength
that a lot of people their age probably don't have.
- Take off your mask. Now! - Take it off!
Aria probably hides behind her work a little bit.
Hides behind a relationship.
If you look, Aria has dated lot of guys.
She has never been by herself.
I think that says something
maybe a little.
She, you know, finds comfort
in being with someone.
And I think it will always haunt her.
I-I think so.
Ezra...
I don't want you to come with me to L.A.
What?
When I go there to somewhere for my internship...
I need to go alone.
Last we saw Ez-Ria
'uh, you guys were also at the prom.'
'Uh, and you were talking about'
sort of going your separate ways.
They were really good friends.
You know, I think that they knew
that they needed to go and experience... life
and that meant sort of being apart.
Yeah.
Change could be good for both of us.
Yeah.
Ezra has had an eventful five years.
Like most people hopefully don't experience what he has.
I think coming back after the time jump
'Ezra comes back with the most emotional baggage'
and is the most damaged by the incidents
of the last five years.
So basically he has found a love.
Ezra has followed, um, the character Nicole
down to, uh, South America to sort of view
Habitat for Humanity and other sort of
service saving the world type things.
This is sort of his dreams. This is his callings.
This is what he wants to do.
Um, and that is sort of...
Taken away from him
very, uh, quickly and
um-m-m-m, violently.
So he comes back to Rosewood, back to this place where he...
I think, he really, in his mind, is like
I'm not coming back here.
Now, he's back and just completely rudderless.
Completely has no sense of who he is
and what he is supposed to do with his life.
And, uh, he falls down a really deep well, uh
into, uh, a sea of alcohol
if we continue on this metaphor.
This is a really dark, emotional place
that we find him and broken.
- He's broken. - Yeah.
In several episodes
I have like bruised knuckles
and it's all sort of things that
are very, like, new to Ezra.
So, it's-it's really a lot of fun to play.
When "Pretty Little Liars
Five Years Forward" continues.
The cast reveals what brought them back to Rosewood
after five years away.
All of you in one place at one time.
When's the last time that happened in Rosewood?
And the crew gives a new look
to some old familiar places.
The Radley Sanitarium is now a hotel.
Seriously, you would never know
that this used to be a nut house.
When we return.
Erica tweeted, "Mona has some killer heels."
While Katie noted, "Guess in Rosewood
you need to be ready for anything."
Danica tweeted, "Well, at least
we don't have to wait for 5 years."
A camera mark.
Oh, ah. I did it, guys.
I will bring you home, Charlotte. I promise.
Charlotte has been getting better
She's remarkably changed and I think
her mindset is totally different and I-I think she is
remorseful for what has happened...
I thought I'd let you know in person.
The judge set a date for the hearing?
- Yes. - Oh, thank you.
Alison reaches out and asks for
her best friends to come back
and really help her to establish a family again.
At the hearing tomorrow the judge will decide
if she should be released.
'And they want to hear from people who were involved.'
- Victim statements. - Statements of support.
Statements that... she isn't a threat to anybody.
That you guys are not afraid of her anymore.
The girls, I think, don't wanna do it.
They... But they feel an allegiance to their friend
and they feel an allegiance to each other
and so they kind of come back to this
place that they all chose to leave...
All of you in one place at one time.
When's the last time that happened in Rosewood?
Long time.
When you jump five years ahead
this is a great impact on the design of the show.
And you three are very important
obviously, to the design of the show.
What informed the changes
you made in this five-year jump?
What was the process of coming up
with a new look for each of the PLLs?
The jump was, gosh, what a great opportunity
to make some changes from going from teenager
to adult looks with the actors.
But it's never something that I come up with alone
it's always a team effort, which I love about the show.
So, Cameron, tell us how this big five-year leap
has impacted costumes?
So, I came on at the leap.
So, which was a really good time to have a new costume designer.
And I started by watching a lot of "Pretty Little Liars."
Because, you know, their old looks
do inform their new looks
so there's certainly a huge
change with all the girls
but we'll still see essence
of their high school selves, for sure.
Like, Cindy was saying Shay had moved to California
so there's definitely a beachier vibe
with her this season.
And Aria, she's always been
so colorful and mixing patterns
that, I don't think that would
magically go away in five years
so we've kept on doing that.
For me, it was a lot of, uh...
Are they gonna have short hair, long hair, different colors?
They like changing it.
The girls like being different a lot
I've found over the years.
I definitely, I think, wanted to see
a more adult version of them.
Because they've been in high school
for... six years now maybe.
I don't know. It's a long time.
Fourteen actually, but who's counting.
Who's counting?
For me the jump was, um...
It had a lot to do with their wardrobe
and with their career choices in life.
I decided to change everyone's looks.
Like do the opposite of what they were in high school.
So, uh, for Ashley and for, uh, Lucy
I made them with less makeup, more sophisticated.
For Shay, I made her little bit darker.
She's from California at this point
and so she has that
west coast look and for Troian
I chose little bit more sophisticated
and more of a classic look.
You'll see the difference d-definitely in every character.
Every character has a little bit of a change
and a little bit of their mark.
Has this five-year jump affected the actors?
Well, I think that they are really happy playing
the age that's closest to who they are.
I think they're happy with the clothes that they're wearing
and they feel comfortable with the-the
the makeup and the hair that we've chosen
for them on this five-year jump.
This is something that I think they've been waiting for.
- So... And they're excited. - They're looking forward to...
They're excited about this whole entire jump.
- 'We're all excited.' - Yeah.
What was the PLL's reactions, uh,
the girls, when they saw
what you had in mind and what was their input?
I mean, what did they... what did they offer and what do they say
was important to them when they were
talking about this five-year leap?
Troian probably had a little bit more of an opinion
because we thought that her character would go a little bit
like more on a casual weekend look
but she is staying basically more on a business side.
And, um, so I thought that I'd be able to give her little bit
more of what her personality truly is.
She's more, you know, smoky eyes.
I thought I'd give her the most, to tell you the truth.
Just because for... during the years in high school
she wore the least of makeup.
I think the biggest note I got
from all the girls was like
less jewelry, smaller jewelry.
That's what they really wanted. Smaller accessories.
Why is that?
Probably like, big earrings hurt.
You know? Probably... I don't know.
I think they were just... Yeah, I just think they were...
After six year, like touching your shoulder. It's like.
Oh, that's not my hair. It's my ear lobe.
I am really excited today to be here with Mike Suby
the composer of "Pretty Little Liars."
The man whose music keeps you on the edge of your seat
every week and, uh, pulls at your heart strings.
'Welcome, Mike, and thank you for sitting down with us.'
Thanks for having me.
Looking at the five-year
time jump that we're taking
are you setting a new tone with score?
Are there any challenges musically?
Are you adding any new instruments?
In episodic television, long-form episodic television
uh, we're constantly writing new themes, finding new palates
'developing characters, character relationships.'
So it's something we're doing every week
and over time anyways.
This is a special situation
but it's really an extension of that.
Of that constantly evolving score.
- It-it... Yeah. I mean... - Okay.
So what I did for the five-year jump, I incorporated
some new elements to the score.
Something new for the viewer to say
"Okay, this sounds a bit different."
Well, I just messaged her today...
The girls are older, they've had their life experience
and something to reflect that they have
a little bit more under their belt.
A little more sophisticated language.
Coming up, the cast reveals
the biggest changes in the upcoming season.
There's a lot more skin. I feel like...
I feel like I had to show a lot more skin.
And see just where the five-year leap takes them.
It was scripted as a heart-shaped bed.
When "Pretty Little Liars, Five Years Forward" returns.
♪ Sometimes you make it impossible... ♪
- Guess who? - Oh, my gosh.
Emily tweeted, "I feel like a part of my life
"has been finally been answered.
I can't wait for the new season of PLL."
- Hi! - Oh, hi.
What just happened!
Robert tweeted, "Did anyone get
"the moms out of the basement?
"I'm really worried for them.
I think they ran out of wine."
Okay, well, we lived off some of, uh, Mr. Delaurentis'
Scotch for a while...
Then after that, after that, he came down to do laundry
and he found us. That's-that's my theory.
Wait a minute. Do your think Peter Hastings
washes his own shorts?
You know, no, it couldn't have been more than a day.
I'm hoping that Officer Toby, like, rode in
'and saved us all.'
I think the girls probably
finally figured out that we were gone.
I think it may've been, like, months later.
But I think they finally realized...
- 'Months later?' - 'Months later.'
Have you've seen my mom?
Hi. I'm Bryan Holdman.
Co-Executive Producer of "Pretty Little Liars."
And I'm here to interview, uh, some guys from our art, set-tech
and props departments.
Uh, Chris?
W-what are you doing?
Hi, Bryan. I'm, uh...
I'm having a little trouble letting go of "A."
The layers we built together
all those layers.
And the dolls, so many dolls.
Chris, I think we all would agree that "A" was an important
part of the show but, um, we've moved on.
You're right.
There's a whole new brand of terror
and torment coming to town and these
Pretty Little Liars do not see it coming.
- No. - 'Time to embrace the future.'
And on that note, I-I have something
I wanna share with you and...
I have to admit I'm pretty excited about it.
Actually, Chris. Uh, you know, uh...
They have to see this.
Don't... Ple... Don't do that.
I give you the future face of terror in Rosewood.
So guys, in five years' time, a lot can change in Rosewood.
And, you know, some of our old familiar sets have gone away.
Well, if you didn't know what this place was
you'd never know what this place was.
One set, with a sort of five years later facelift
which we're sitting in, it's the Radley Sanitarium
and now it is a hotel.
- It is. - It's a boutique hotel.
Are there actual physical parts of this set that were
part of the Radley of old that people have seen before?
There are a few of the arched doorways that were
in the underground Radley tunnels.
Starts with the art director and the set designer
drawing it and then goes to construction and paint
and labor and plasters
and grips to bring it all and put it all together.
- That's a lot of hands. - It's a cast of thousands.
It's a cast of thousands to make it all look real and...
Like it's-like it's just a boutique hotel.
Yeah, exactly.
'We're here in Spencer' barn'
'and it's made such a transformation'
from the barn we saw in the pilot.
I think what people don't know and it's so fun
and it probably never occurs to people that
'Spencer's barn was already redone in the pilot.'
The first thing is "Previously," right?
And then we jump to modern times
and the barn was redone
but we've never seen the inside of the barn
redone until this season.
Cause we just redid it for-for our-our time jump.
I love that set. I think it's one my favorite new sets
that we have. It's so cozy.
- Yeah. - I love it.
So, should we say who's living in Spencer's barn?
- I'm living in my barn. - Finally. Six years later.
And also, it was kind of like a crossover from the books
'cause Spencer wanted to be an interior designer'
And so the feel like the whole thing was that
she got to redesign the barn
but then Melissa got to live there.
It is very cool to kinda have a homecoming
after the time jump and, like, Spencer finally
gets to live in the space that she designed for herself
um, while she's helping her mom run for a seat in the senate.
After five years' time, a lot can change in Rosewood
and that meant that some of our
long-standing sets had to go away.
They were taken down overnight.
Um, and in their place
we immediately started building the new sets.
So the next morning, actors would come in
and a place that had been their bedroom for six years
- was just gone. - Just gone.
Did any of the actors have a chance to say goodbye
to their, you know, bedrooms of five-six years?
No, I don't think they did.
I think they arrived the next morning
and the sets were gone, and we were down
to sheets of linoleum on the floor
and sets were history.
Wow. Just an empty space.
I think several of them were quite shocked
that they walked to the stage and saw the vacant hole
where their homes once lived.
You know, week to week, on our show
the liars are always following mystery or romance
to some new location.
What we refer to in-house as our swing sets.
Um, are there any fun, crazy swing sets
that you guys had
a challenge or a pleasure creating in 6B?
Oh, yes. I won't discuss what the scene was.
Uh, but it was great fun because it was scripted
as a heart-shaped bed.
It was a bit of a, um...
Scavenger hunt to find the pieces
and create the visual.
And wandering through the prop house
I found a round bed
a light-up heart and a gold lame heart
in the prop house in three separate places
and married them together and created a heart-shaped bed.
Then from there, I just went,
"How over the top can I make this?"
It was great fun to do.
- Very over the top. - Great fun.
Perfectly over the top.
And how about you?
My favorite was probably the studio.
We did it in the back lot in an empty space
and just brought in a few walls.
So you just have something for the eye to focus to
and a few pieces of set dressing and some carpet.
You never notice the big, black empty void that it was in
and it worked perfectly with just a few pieces brought in.
I won't give any spoilers but what is also great
about that set is it gives us a glimpse
into the work life of one of the pretty little liars, uh...
Five years later, which I think is exciting too.
Coming up, the pretty little liars
take us back to the beginning.
That's the scene that sort of started it all
- when we have that moment. - Gotcha!
And later, our second exclusive
never before seen "Pretty Little Liars" moment.
And I thought you were done lurking in the shadows.
When we return.
Are we to say that we're not afraid of her?
Is that the truth?
That we're not afraid?
Pll4eve tweeted...
"The liars are still looking for answers
"so they're doing what they're really good at...
Snooping."
"A" camera marker and marking.
'Nice!'
Jana tweeted, "Hanna has always been my favorite liar."
"Now she gets to travel the world
and works in fashion."
Hashtag mydream.
"A" camera mark.
"How lucky am I to have something
that makes saying goodbye so hard."
What brilliant scholar said that?
Winnie the Pooh.
'Last we saw was our-our lovely goodbye scene'
'in front of Alison's house which...'
Oh, that scene was so beautiful, yeah.
Let's talk about that. What did that goodbye feel like?
I found myself actually getting emotional, like, for real.
Not, like, acting 'cause it was just like...
It was such a sweet scene.
Yeah, I think all the girls, although it was like, really sad
to leave one another, we were kinda ready to be like
okay, there's a next chapter of our life, you know?
It was sad, but it was also exciting.
For a lot of people and a lot of the fans of the show
that really, I'm sure, I mean, it's bittersweet a little bit.
It was saying goodbye to your teenage selves.
Yeah, um, it was, it was, uh...
'And to "A." It was goodbye to the "A" story.'
- Goodbye. - You gonna be okay?
Yeah.
I spent my whole life dreaming about get away from here.
But right now, this is the only place I wanna be.
It was definitely kind of the funny
thing that we had to, like, I think it was the next day
continue shooting, and so it was that kinda thing
where you were like, okay, so go into the emotion
of what it would really be like to say goodbye.
Like, and-and so we did it and then afterwards, it was like
"That was beautiful. Okay, here's your call time
for tomorrow," and we were just like, "Oh, wait a minute."
But I think also for me, for Spencer especially
saying goodbye to Ali
and, like, what that relationship was
and for some reason, it felt like
I was gonna take these girls with me
wherever I went as Spencer.
There was something about leaving Alison behind
in that front yard
that was saying goodbye to Spencer's childhood.
I decided it was such a sweet moment
and you really saw the five girls back where we started.
I was curious since we're here in Spencer's barn
and it's made such a transformation
from the barn we saw in the pilot.
How does it feel to think about where you are now
in the barn versus where you were
when we shot the pilot in Vancouver?
Gotcha!
'That's so not funny, Alison.'
I thought it was hilarious.
First of all, it's like five degrees in Vancouver
when we were filming this.
We were all like huddled in a corner
all, like, snuggled-up.
It was freezing cold. We were all in, like
down jackets and, it was a really...
Cra... I mean, that was an all-night shoot.
Friends share secrets.
That's what keeps us close.
That's the scene that sort of started it all
when we all wake up, we're discombobulated.
Spencer's gone, I wake up and then we have that moment.
- Where is Ali and Spencer? - We don't know.
And then I remember being so cold
and because I was outside of the barn
and they, I was walking in, and I was back lit
so they just kept on telling me, they were like
first of all, we can see your shoulders are up like this
'cause I was wearing, like, nothing.
- And your skin is purple. - And your skin is blue.
So, uh, they were like, so you have to relax your shoulders
and when you come forward, because you're being back lit
um... don't breathe because we can see
the air, we can see your breath.
And it was supposed to be Labor Day weekend.
- That was like, hot. - It was supposed to be summer.
I do you remember you having to put ice cubes
in your mouth, right?
- Oh, yeah. - Wait, why? Why?
Because it would cool down her breath.
To cool down my temperature.
'So you don't see the breath.'
So you wouldn't see the breath.
So I remember you eating ice cubes...
What do you mean she's gone?
I've looked everywhere for her.
Think I heard a scream.
'I also remember, like, waiting for you guys'
'to get set in the barn and just standing out'
in, like, the coldest dark night
and just being like, "I'm so warm, I'm so warm"
and it wasn't working at all.
And then I remember we got into the van
and-and you pulled up your phone, and you were like
"I have an idea for the theme show's song."
- 'Yes.' - I remember this.
And you were there and we listened to it
and we were like, "Mar, you have to hear this show..."
and it was our theme song.
You couldn't, like, commit to it. You were like, yeah, I guess
I'll just ask if it can be, but I remember, like,
you were playing it off of your phone
You were like, "Please, it'd be so cool if this was..."
It was, yeah, I mean, people think that song
was written for the show.
Yeah, it's so perfect.
But truthfully, Ashley found it
in the dark of night.
You're welcome.
I remember pigtunia for some reason.
She's always been beside you.
Scary pigtunia.
You on the floor, Ashley and I using the excuse
that we would be cuddled on the couch together
just to, like, stay warm.
You were like, "We'll be on the couch, under the blanket."
That was probably the beginning of Butter Benzo.
Yeah, that was probably the beginning.
And then I remember having to, like, sneak-drink.
We were sneak-drinking in that barn and now...
Yeah, from the red solo cups.
You were having a little wine and cheese party.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's just weird to think that, like, I mean, I was 19...
Back then and you too.
- Yeah, we were babes. - Oh, you were 20.
But it was just, it's just so weird that we've actually, like
most of my 20s have been on this show
and, like, now being in this
like, six years later, it's so crazy.
It's been such an experience.
We all kinda started when we were kids, you know?
For some of us, this is our first job.
For me, I'll speak for myself.
It was my first job, literally right out of college.
It's been such a sort of transformative
and wonderful experience and as much as, you know
there can be long hours, and especially for, like
the-the four leading ladies.
Like, they-they're here a lot.
And that can be pretty... pretty grueling.
But I think I will be very, very sad when it's done.
You know, one the great privileges of being able
'to work on a series that's long-running'
and especially with young people.
You're watching young people evolve, their talents evolve.
You're watching them grow up in front of the camera
and of course, behind the scenes.
Well, the funny thing is with Lucy, I mean
she was uber-professional from, like, day one.
I mean, she just is. I mean, she doesn't make a mistake.
She's kind to everybody
and she's just, she's really good at what she does.
How will you go with working with Ashley Benson?
Well, Ashley started
at I think the age of 19 or something
I mean, she was young.
But all of us, the whole crew
and everybody, you know, we've been her family
for those years and we've all gotten
to see her grow through those years, and it's great.
How about Troian?
Well, she was born 80.
'Yeah. True.'
- 'She's an old soul.' - 'She's an old soul.'
'And she's just gotten lovelier with each year.'
And Sasha, we've watched Sasha grow up in the set...
She's definitely... Gosh, she was so young when she started...
But still, I mean
crazily mature for her age
- Also an old soul. - Poised.
And Shay, you know, has been so special to this cast.
And Emily's character has been since day one
you know, much of the heart of the show...
She's just beautiful and has such grace and
uh, sweet, sweet heart, sweet spirit.
And a lot of followers.
A lot of followers.
A lot of Instagram followers.
Coming up, see a confrontation that you
haven't see anywhere else.
They're the ultimate frenemies, I think.
And then, discover the new more
sinister threat to the people of Rosewood.
This isn't happening.
When we continue.
♪ Somebody misses you when you're away... ♪
Betty Who tweeted "So excited
"my music is on the "Pretty Little Liars" special.
"Such a fan of PLL, and I can't wait
for the new season in January."
♪ Oh somebody loves you ♪
PrettyKisses_A said
"I love all the Liars new looks
"but Spencer's new look is my favorite.
Those bangs!"
And now, a brand new scene
from the middle of our five-year time jump.
You won't see this anywhere else.
Oscar Wilde once said "That life imitates art
more than art imitates life."
Now to me...
To me, that means
that life and art can become so blurry
that it's hard to tell the difference between the two.
Alright, well, think about this over the weekend
because there will be an essay on it, okay?
Mona.
I thought you were done lurking in the shadows.
Alison DeLaurentis.
Never thought you'd be the one to stick around Rosewood.
After you ran me out of town with a pitchfork
I actually came to like this place.
And a teacher even.
Considering my limited high school experience
I'd have to say I missed it.
Well, I'm in town for my 21st
and I thought we could go out for a drink and celebrate.
What about your college friends?
Well, they threw me a party at, uh, Duke
but it wasn't the same.
Come on, don't you have five minutes for some nostalgia
and a little buttercream frosting?
'Kay.
Have you talked to the girls?
I actually invited them back for a little reunion
but en vain.
I spoke to Aria on her birthday.
She's been writing a lot.
She's been reading her short stories
at open mic night on Harvard Square.
Did you see Spencer's pic of the White House rose garden?
You know, she would never leave without asking
the first lady if she could replace the rose bushes
for something more Eco friendly.
Hanna and I went to Miami on spring break...
And we crashed a party at Matt Damon's house.
Crazy.
Uh, any word from Em?
The last time I talked to her
she was on her way up to Stanford to visit Paige.
I think they've been seeing each other.
Are they together?
You know, Ali, considering everything we've been through
I never thought I'd make it to 21.
You're not here to celebrate.
You're here about her.
You applied for a summer job at Well-Be.
And as Charlotte's warden, no less.
Kind of interesting choice for a poly-sci major.
And Mina Davis... how creative?
Isn't that your mother's maiden name?
Dr. Rollins didn't recognize your name on the application
but saw you leave.
Ah, you looked familiar.
You botched your application.
I tried to visit Charlotte legit the first time
and the hospital wouldn't let me in.
You needed to put on scrubs for a visit?
I didn't expect to get much out of her
from one rendezvous.
Figured it might take a few.
What do you want?
I saw you've been posting on social.
Seems like she's getting better.
She is.
Should Charlotte ever get
cell phone privileges
what's she gonna post? About us.
I've spent every day with her for the last four years.
She's changed.
I'm about to start a career in the public eye.
I need to know her intentions.
Her intentions are to get well.
She was a master at playing the game.
Even better than me.
You may trust her, but I don't think I ever could.
When can I see her?
When she gets out.
And I know she will.
Charlotte's been working very hard.
Hi, it's me.
Mona was here.
She wanted to talk about Charlotte.
She wants to see Charlotte.
She wants to see Charlotte
and obviously, Alison isn't really liking that.
You've become very protective of Charlotte which is
it's-it's a beautiful thing.
And it's-it's... I think the whole
DeLaurentis story and-and seeing how these sisters have survived
along with your brother.
To me is just like such a great...
That's how I think you and Charlotte are alike.
You're-you're both survivors.
Success story, in a way.
Alison brings you guys back
because she-she needs your help with Charlotte
but an event occurs that-that
forces you guys to stay
in Rosewood and out of that event
a new big bad is born.
The big bad.
We can't tell you what happens
when we get back to Rosewood.
However, the girls begin to again receive messages.
They know it's not from Charlotte.
Um, and this time, it feels very different.
It is not just a manipulation game.
There's something that's very, very dark and twisted.
This time, it's no longer about
"I'm gonna expose some secret that you have"
or I'm gonna, you know
ruin your chances of getting, like
the Orchid Scholarship.
You know what I mean? It's paranoia, blackmail.
It's a life-threatening situation...
He's coming for you.
- We have to go. - Now, Alison!
We came back here for you, Ali, so move it.
It's too late. He's already here.
Because it's life or death, so quickly, you guys
fight back right away.
You're not victims. You're...
You're, like, on top of this right away.
And I think that's a big difference
between moving forward and the past.
I'm just not really good at this.
Mm, I've got a lot of practice.
