A witch's apartment. She puts down a bowl of food for her cat. Here baby. Come on, baby. Good girl. She walks over to her altar and lights the candles with just a touch of her finger. You see someone standing outside her window. She starts chanting a spell. Someone walks by the cat, scaring it away. Ancient one of the earth so deep, master of moon and sun. I shield you in my Wiccan way, here in my circle round, asking you to protect this space, and offer your sun force down. Someone walks up behind her as she begins to hum. She turns around and stands up. What are you doing here?
The man pulled out a knife and plunged it in her stomach.
Outside Halliwell Manor. A storm is brewing. Piper walks up the steps holding an umbrella.
Cut to inside. Piper walks through the front door. Prue's standing on the ladder, working on the chandelier along with their youngest sister Payton holding the ladder that Prue is standing on,
Prue? Payton? Calls Piper
In here Piper, working on the chandelier.
Sorry I'm late say Piper
Nothing new there then says Payton. Laughs
Well, what else is new? Piper, I would have been here with Payton to meet the electrician but you know I can't leave the museum until six Prue Said
I guess I just didn't realize how long I was in China town. Has Jeremy call? Piper asked
No, but he had a package and some roses delivered. Says Prue
Over there on the table. Prue gets the ladder as Piper puts down the bag on the table and picks up the wine bottle from the package what were you doing in China town? Asked Payton
I thought that you had an interview in a restaurant in North Beach asked Prue
I did but I went to Young Lee market after my interview to get the ingredients for my audition recipe tomorrow said Piper
So, that Wolfgang-puck knock-off didn't hire you today? Asked Payton
No, but this just may get me the job tomorrow Piper told them
Nice says Payton
Jeremy sent you port Prue stating the obvious
It's the ultimate ingredient for my recipe Piper told them.
Sounds yummy Payton told piper
What a nice boyfriend Prue stated to piper
Never mind the boyfriend the food sound better Laughs Payton.
Mm-mmm. She spots the spirit board. I don't believe it. Tell me that's not our old spirit board? She picks up the spirit board and Payton stop thinking with your stomach Piper tells Payton.
Yeah, I found it in the basement when I was looking for the circuit tester says Prue.
To my four beautiful girls. May this give you the light to find the shadows? The power of four will set you free. Love, Mom." We never did figure out what this inscription meant.
I will I knew mom Payton tells them.
Well, we should send it to Phoebe. She's so in the dark, maybe a little light will help, I know Payton it's unfair that you never got to know mom.
You're always so hard on her phoebe I mean.
Piper, she has no vision, no sense of the future, Payton rolls her eyes.
I really think Phoebe's coming around says Piper, Payton Grins.
Well, as long as she doesn't come around here I guess that's good news. Prue goes to the ladder. The phone rings. Piper answers it.
Hello? Jeremy? How are you? Where are you?
Outside Witch's apartment building. Jeremy's on a cell phone. It's raining and there's a lot of commotion there with ambulances and police.
I'm sorry about the bad connection, Piper. I'm in North Beach covering a story. I wanted to see if you got your package. He pauses and listens. Yeah, well, anything to help. A cop car pulls up. Well, hey, look this detective I've been waiting for has finally arrived so I'll call you later, okay? He hangs up and goes over to the car. A young man, in his late 20s with light brown hair in a brown eyes and a leather jacket comes out. Detective Trudeau, is it the same MO as the other victims? He ignores Jeremy and pushes him aside. He then goes to a cop standing by the apartment building entrance.
What have you got for me asked Andy?
Another dead female, right? Mid to late twenties one of the cops tells Andy.
It's the third one in 3 weeks. Same murder weapon?
Double edged steel knife.
Some sort of ceremonial tool that isn't supposed to be used for cutting purposes.
Back at the Manor.
Piper is in the living room looking out the window. Prue is on the living room, on the ladder, checking out the chandelier, Payton again holding the ladder so Prue does not fall.
I don't get it. I have tried everything, there's no reason why the chandelier shouldn't be working. Piper walks up to her as Prue gets off the ladder
Uh, you know how we've been talking about what to do with the spare room? I think you're right, we do need a roommate. Payton smirks because she knows that piper is speaking about phoebe
Well, we can rent the room at a reduced rate in exchange for some help around the house. Prue picks up the toolbox says Prue.
Phoebe's good with a wrench says Piper
Phoebe lives in New York.
Payton looks at Piper
Not anymore calls Piper, Prue stops and turns around.
What Prue asks furious?
She left New York. She's moving back in with us Piper tells her, Payton smiles; it's going to be good having phoebe home.
You've got to be kidding asks Prue as she gets louder and louder.
Well, I could hardly say no. I mean, it's her house too. It was willed to all of us. Prue puts the toolbox down and begins cleaning her hands.
Yeah, months ago and we haven't seen or spoken to her since says Prue. Prue stops cleaning her hands and begins rubbing with a rag.
Well, you haven't spoken to her. Prue turns around with the rag in hand still.
No, Switzerland, I haven't. Maybe you've forgotten why I'm still mad at looks at Prue, is she still not over that.
Of course not but she had nowhere else to go. She lost her job, she's in debt.
And this is news? How long have you known about this anyway?
A few days, maybe a week-or two says Piper.
Payton says I have known about a month now.
Great. Prue tosses the rag aside. Thanks for sharing. When does she arrive? Asks Prue Phoebe appears behind them in the foyer.
Now. Surprise! I found the hide-a-key says phoebe.
Phoebe, welcome home. Piper goes and hugs her. It's so good to see you. Isn't it Prue?
I'm speechless. A car horn beeps.
Oh, oh. I forgot about the cab says phoebe
I'll get it says Payton. She grabs Prue's purse.
Hey, that's my purse calls Prue. Payton and Piper leaves.
Thanks. I'll pay you back Phoebe tells Prue.
It's okay. Save your pennies. (Pause) Is that all that you brought? Prue asks Phoebe.
That's all that I own. That and my bike. (Pause) Look, I know that you don't want me hear Prue says Phoebe.
We're not selling Grams' house Prue tells Phoebe.
Is that why you think I came back? Phoebe asks.
The only reason Piper and I gave up our apartment to move back here because this house has been in our family for generations and also to look after Payton, but she's now old enough to look after herself now.
No history lesson needed. I grew up here too. So can we talk about what's really bothering you? Asked Phoebe.
No, I'm still furious with you. Prue tells her. (Phoebe sighs.)
I never touched Roger. Phoebe stated to Prue.
Whoa. Shocked Prue.
And I know you think otherwise because that's what the Armani-wearing, Chardonnay-slugging; trust-funder told you… Piper and Payton come back in the house.
Hey, I got a great idea. Why don't I make a fabulous reunion dinner? Says Piper
I'm not hungry Prue said. (She walks off.)
I ate on the bus. (She walks off.)
We'll try the group hug later shouted Piper. (Payton sighs)
Piper and Phoebe and Payton are sitting at the table playing with the spirit board. There is a glass of wine by each of the sisters.
You shouldn't have called Roger those names. That was cruel Piper tells Phoebe.
So was Roger. And the more Prue hears that, the sooner she'll get over that jerk. Payton Laughs. (Piper takes a sip of wine.) I'm glad to hear that you and Jeremy are still together. Where did you meet him anyway? Asked Phoebe.
We met in the hospital cafeteria the day Grams was admitted. He was covering a story and I was bawling over a bagel. He gave me a napkin explained Piper.
It's true I saw the whole thing says Payton.
How romantic exclaimed.
As a matter of fact it was. The napkin had his phone number on it. Piper told her. It was amusing states Payton. (Phoebe laughs.) Now stop pushing the pointer Payton says to Phoebe.
I'm not even touching it. Says phoebe
You used to always push the pointer tells her. (She picks up the glasses and goes into the kitchen.) Take my turn, will you Piper says.
I forgot your question phoebe told her.
I asked if Prue would have sex with someone other than herself this year piper told her, Payton (laughs) (She puts the wine glasses down.)
Oh, that's disgusting. Please say yes. Phoebe says the pointer moved to the letter 'A' by itself.
Piper. (It then moves to 'T'.) Piper, get in here! Payton saw it move on its own as well. (Piper does.)
What asks Piper (Prue comes in.)
What did you guys do now Prue asks?
Why do you always blame us the youngest (pouts) Payton asks?
Me? I didn't do anything. Piper exclaimed
The pointer on the spirit board. It moved on its own. (Prue and Piper stare at her.) I am serious. It spelt 'A' 'T'. Payton nodded that it had happened.
Well, did you push it asked Prue?
Payton told her no that Phoebe had not pushed the pointer.
No. Phoebe exclaimed
You used to always push the pointer. Prue said to her.
I was barely even touching it. Look. She puts her fingers on the pointer. Nothing happens. Prue and Piper turn and start to leave. The pointer moves to the top of the board, then back to the letter 'T'. There, it did it again! It moved! Shouted Payton. (Prue and Piper turn back around and look at the board.)
It's still on the letter 'T'.Prue said
I swear it moved. Phoebe told them.(Prue leaves the room. The pointer moves again. Piper sees it too.) There. Look. Did you see that? Payton called (The pointer moves again.)
Prue, can you come in here a sec? Piper called (Prue comes back in the room. Phoebe writes the letters down on an envelope.)
I think it's trying to tell us something. A-t-t…Phoebe told them.
Now what? Prue asked (Phoebe turns the envelope around.)
Attic. (There's a loud clap of thunder and the power goes out.)Payton grabs hold of Phoebe's hand.
Cut to the foyer. Piper is walking towards the door. Prue is following her with the flashlight in hand.
I don't care what you think. I'm leaving. Piper tells Prue. (Piper grabs her coat.)
Don't you think you're overreacting? We are perfectly safe here. Prue says to her.
Don't say that. In horror movies, the person who says that is always the next to die. Piper says getting worked up. (Piper puts her coat on.)
It is pouring rain. There's a psycho on the loose. Jeremy's not even home. Prue tells Piper.
So I'll wait in the cab until he gets back from work. (Piper crosses the foyer and picks up the phone.) Piper tells her.
Oh, that'll be Prue.
Prue, I saw that pointer move Piper tells Prue.
No, what you saw was Phoebe's fingers pushing the pointer. She's playing a joke on us. There's nothing in the was telling Piper, Payton comes to them.
We don't know that. We've lived here for months and we've never been able to get that attic door open. (Piper tries the phone.) Great, now the phone doesn't says.
Of course it doesn't work. The power's out. Just come with me to the says
What?Asks Piper
No way am I going in that basement Payton says to them.
I need you to hold the flashlight while I check out the main circuit box. Prue asks her (Phoebe comes up behind them and goes up the stairs and stops at the first or second step.)
Phoebe will go with you. Phoebe, you'll go with her to the basement, won't you?Piper says to Phoebe.
Nope, I'm going to the attic. Phoebe tells them. (Phoebe goes up the stairs some more.)
No, you are not. We already agreed. Prue said to Phoebe (Phoebe stops.)
I am not going to waiting for some handyman to check out the attic and I'm certainly not waiting until tomorrow. I'm going now. Payton are you coming. (Phoebe goes up the stairs. Prue leaves.)
No phoebe I am going to stay down here.
Prue, wait. Piper calls (She follows Prue so does Payton).
Cut to Phoebe. She goes up to the attic door and tries to open the attic door but it's locked. She gives up and turns to walk back down the stairs. She hears a creak and turns to see the attic door opening. She walks inside. A light shines on a trunk and she walks over to it. She kneels down and opens it and there's a book inside. She picks up the book and blows the dust off. She opens it.
"The Book of Shadows." (She turns the page and starts reading.)
"Hear now the words of the witches, the secrets we hid in the night, the oldest of spells are invoked here, the great gift of magic is sought." Phoebe chanting
Cut to foyer. Prue and Piper are standing there, looking up the stairs.
Phoebe! She should be back by now. Prue says.
You go first. (Prue goes up the stairs with flashlight in hand. Piper follows her Payton following behind)
Cut to Phoebe.
"In this night and in this hour,
I'll call upon the ancient power,
Bring your powers to we sisters four,
We want the power, give us the power."
Living room. A bright light flashes from the ceiling.
Hall. A picture of the girls is on a table. Prue is in the middle, Piper is on the left, and Phoebe is on the right a little far apart and Payton is behind Prue with her arms around Prue neck. Piper and Phoebe magically go closer to Prue.]
Cut to Phoebe. Prue and Piper and Payton walk up behind her.
What are you doing?Prue asks Phoebe.
Uh…reading an incantation. It was in this Book of Shadows, I found it in that trunk. Phoebe tells them.
Let me see that. Prue says. (Prue kneels down beside her. Phoebe stands up.)
How did you get in here? Payton asks. (Prue looks through the Book.)
The door opened Phoebe told them.
Wait a minute, incantation? What kind of incantation?Piper asks her.
Well, it said something about there being four essentials of magic. Feeling, timing, and phases of the moon. If we were ever going to do this, now - midnight on a full moon - was the most powerful explained to her other three sisters.
This? Do what this?Piper and Payton asked at the same time.
Receive our powers. Phoebe told them excited.
Our powers? Payton asked Wait, our powers? You included me in this?Piper asked.
She included all of us. (Reading from the book.) "Bring your powers to we sisters four." (She closes the book.) It's a book of told them.
Let me see that. Piper says (Prue stands up and hands Piper the book.)
Scene: The murdered witch's apartment. Andy and the cop are there along with people. Andy looks at the tattoo on her neck. It's a full circle with three interlocking arcs inside.
What is it?The cop asked Andy?.
I don't know. It's the same tattoo that we found on the other three replied with.
So, the murderer is killing women who belong to cop asked.
No, these women didn't belong to occult. They, they practiced their craft alone. These women are told the cop.
The murderer is killing witches?The cop did not look convinced.
He's just not killing them. He's hunting them. Andy told him. (Kit comes to Andy's feet. She meows. Andy goes over and pats her. Andy looks at Kit's collar. It has the same symbol on it that was tattooed on the witch.)
Back to Manor. Prue, Piper, and Phoebe are walking down the stairs. Piper has the flashlight.
Spirit boards, books of witchcraft. It figures all this freaky stuff started when you said to Phoebe.
Hey, I wasn't the one that found the spirit board. Phoebe countered with.
Prue:It wasn't my fingers sliding around on the pointer.
It doesn't matter. Because nothing happened, right Payton asked Phoebe, when you did the incantation?
My head spun around and I vomited split-pea soup. How should I know? Phoebe said sarcastically
Well, everything looks the same said Piper.
Yeah, you're right. Phoebe told her.
Yet the house still needs work Prue said. (Prue and Phoebe leave Piper and Payton alone with a flashlight.)
And everything feels the same, so nothing's changed. (She looks over to where her sisters were.) Right? Payton and Piper ask.
Outside. The man that was standing there slowly walks off.
Manor. The next morning. Piper is trimming some bushes on the side of the Manor. Phoebe comes up to her with a mug of coffee. Payton sat at the table with a cup of coffee.
You're up say to phoebe.
I never went to sleep. Phoebe tells her, Payton says same here.
Don't tell me you put on a black conical hat and spent the night flying around the neighborhood on a broomstick? Piper says.
The only broom I've ever owned was kept in a closet beside a mop. Phoebe tells her. (Piper stops trimming the bushes.)
So what were you doing? Payton asks her.
Reading. I-is Prue around? Phoebe asks and tells her.
She went to work early Piper told her. Reading aloud?Payton asks.
No. But according to the Book of Shadows, one of our ancestors was a witch named Melinda tells them.
Payton agree I remember doing a paper for school on her.
And we have a cousin who's a drunk, an aunt who's manic, and a father who's invisible .Piper says (Piper walks toward into the house through the front door with Phoebe following her.)
I am serious. She practiced powers. Three powers. She could move objects with her mind, see the future and stop time and had some kind of protection bubble. Phoebe tells them. And the youngest sister would have all the powers that her older sisters got, that happen once in only 50 years.
But before Melinda burned at the stake, she vowed that each generation of Warren witches would grow stronger and stronger, culminating in the arrival of four sisters .Phoebe was explaining this to them.
(Piper puts on her purse and grabs her coat.) These sisters would be the most powerful witches the world has ever known. I think that we are those sisters. Phoebe says to Piper and Payton.
Look, I know what happened last night was weird and unexplainable, but we are not witches and we do not have special powers besides, Grams wasn't a witch and as far as we know, neither was Mom. Piper was saying to Phoebe. Payton nods that she agrees with Piper.
(She kisses Phoebe.) So take that Nancy Drew. (Piper walks out the door. Phoebe goes to the porch.)
We are the protectors of the innocent. We're known as the Charmed Ones. Phoebe tries to tell her.
Mm-hmm. Replied Piper.
And I beg to differ about Grams. Phoebe tells them. (Phoebe goes in and closes the door.)
The Museum of Natural History. Prue and Roger are in the storage room.
Roger: There's been change of plan.
Prue: Change of plan regarding the Beals expedition?
Roger: The extra money that you help raise through private donations has sparked significant corporate interest. The Beals artifacts will now become part of our permanent collection.
Prue: Well that's terrific.
Roger: Which is why the board wants someone a little more qualified to handle the collection from now on. You look surprised.
Prue: I don't know why. I'm furious. Not only have I been on this project since its inception, but I'm the curator who secured the entire exhibition. (Prue pauses for a moment.) You're the person a little more qualified aren't you?
Roger: I could hardly say no to the entire board of directors, could I? But I know you'll be happy for me, after all, what's good for me is definitely good for you. Right, Miss Halliwell?
Prue: Miss Halliwell? Since when did we stop being on a first name basis? When we stopped sleeping together or when I returned your engagement ring, Roger?
Roger: I didn't realize the two were mutually exclusive. Although I certainly enjoyed one better than the other.
Prue: Bastard! (She turns to leave.)
Roger: Prue, wait. (She stops.) I feel like I should say something if only to avoid a lawsuit. (She leaves. Roger's pen in his pocket leaks and gets a blue ink spot on his shirt. He takes the pen out of his pocket and it squirts in his face.)
Quake. Piper is in the kitchen making her audition meal. Just as she's pouring the port wine in a measuring cup, Chef Moore enters the kitchen.
Chef Moore: (In his French accent clapping his hands) your time is up. Let's see. Uh. (Reading the index card.) Roast pork with gratin of fennel and penne with a port giblet sauce.
Piper: Uh, Chef Moore…
Chef Moore: What?
Piper: Uh, the port…
Chef Moore: Yes, without the sauce it is nothing more than a salty marinara. A recipe from a woman's magazine. Puh!
Piper: I didn't have time for…
Chef Moore: Ah-ah-ah!
Piper: But, but… (He puts some on a fork and raises it to his mouth. Piper waves her hands around and he stops. He stands there like a statue.) Chef Moore? Chef Moore? (She waves her hand in front of his face.) Hello? Hello? (She picks up a baster and fills it up with some port. She dribbles some on Chef Moore's forkful of food. He unfreezes and puts it in his mouth.)
Chef Moore: Mmm…this is very good. C'est magnifique.
On the sidewalk. Piper's in a phone booth.
Piper: Come on, Phoebe. You've got to be there. Phoebe, answer the phone. Answer the phone. (She hangs up and walks out of the booth. Jeremy walks up to her.) Oh, God, Jeremy you scared me.
Jeremy: I-I can see, I'm sorry. You okay?
Piper: Yeah, now I am. I really am. Um, what are you doing here?
Jeremy: Well, I wanted to be the first to congratulate you on your new job.
Piper: You always surprise me. How did you know?
Jeremy: We prepared your specialty, and everyone's who's ever sampled your work, can truly see how talented you are.
Piper: I get so turned on when you talk about food.
Jeremy: Hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza. (They kiss.)
On the road. Phoebe is riding her bike. All of a sudden she has a premonition. In it she sees two boys on skateboards and they skate right in front of a car which hits them. Phoebe looks around. The premonition finishes. Phoebe continues riding Payton with her and then sees the car and the two boys.
No! Wait! Stop! Watch out! Phoebe shouts.
They ride in front of the boys stopping them from skating in front of the car. She falls over a parked car on the hill. The car honks and Phoebe falls off her bike and holds her right arm. Kit is nearby. Some guy and the boys go to her.
Hospital. Prue walks up to the desk. Andy is standing there with his back turned.
Hi, um, I'm looking for my sister, Phoebe tells her.
Prue when Payton see her, she going to be fine I think I am not sure what happened Payton told Prue. Prue tells Payton to calm down.
Uh, one second pleases. The nurse told him (To Andy) what was the name again?The nurse asked?
(to nurse) Uh, Detective Andrew Trudeau. Homicide. Dr. Gordon's expecting me. (The nurse leaves.)
Detective Andy Trudeau? (He turns around.) Prue says. Payton Smiles.
Prue? I haven't seen you since and this must be little Payton all grown up. Payton nods.
Prue: High sc…
Andy: We broke up.
Prue: Yeah, talk about full circle. I'm even living back at my Grams house now. So, what are you doing here?
Andy: Uh, I'm investigating a murder. Uh, the victim was a nurse here.
Prue: I think I read about that in the paper. It was pretty creepy. Payton agreed.
Andy: Yeah. So, what are you doing here?
Prue: Oh, just picking up Phoebe. She has some sort of accident. (The nurse comes back.)
Nurse: (to Prue) your sister is to the right and down the hall. (To Andy) Doctor Gordon is to the left and down the hall.
Prue: Thank you.
Andy: Thank you. (The nurse leaves.) It's great seeing you, Prue and Payton
Yeah, you too. Prue said for the both of them.
Andy: Bye.
Bye. Says Prue, See you Andy says Payton. (Andy leaves. Prue turns around and Phoebe walks up, with a bandage wrapped around her right arm.) looks at phoebe you okay she asked?
We need to talk, and not about tells Prue.
sighs.
Quake. Prue and Phoebe and Payton are sitting at the bar.
The Chosen Ones? The Charmed Ones? Phoebe, this is insane. Prue tells her. A bartender sets their drinks in front of them.
Are you telling me that nothing strange happened to you today? You didn't freeze time or move anything? Phoebe asks her
Roger took an exhibit away from me. Look, Phoebe, you may think that you think you can see the future, which is pretty says
Since you don't think I have one, that-that my vision of life is-is cloudy compared to your perfect hell? Even if you don't want to believe me, just once can't you trust me?Phoebe asks Prue.
I do not have special powers. Prue says. (The cream moves by itself.) Payton waves her arms for god sakes does it really matter? Everything froze.
Really? Phoebe says to both sisters, Payton asks how long do you think this will last. (The cream fills her cup of coffee by itself.) Looks pretty special to me. Phoebe said to Prue.
Oh my god. It just-I…I can m? Prue said move things with my mind
With how much you hold inside, you should be a lethal weapon by tells her.
I don't believe it, but it's says.
This mean that Piper must be able freeze time and Payton has a Protection bubble and also our powers as well. Phoebe tells Prue. (Prue grabs a shot of tequila and drinks it all.) Are you okay?Payton asks her
No, I am not okay. Phoebe turned me into a witch!
You were born one. We all were. And I think we better start learning to deal with it Phoebe told her.
In a cab. Piper is in it with Jeremy. She's holding a box of fortune cookies.
Piper: Has anything weird or unexplainable ever happened to you?
Jeremy: Sure. It's called luck or fate or some people call it miracles. Why? What happened?
Piper: Forget it. Even if I could tell you, you'd swear I was crazy. Open your fortune cookie. (She hands him one.)
Jeremy: Okay. (He opens it and reads the bit of paper.) Soon you will be on top.
Piper: It doesn't say that.
Jeremy: Yes it does.
Piper: Let me see that. (She snatches the bit of paper off him.)
Jeremy: Is that a bad thing?
Piper: Of the world. Soon you will be on top of the world.
Jeremy: (to the cab driver) can you make a left on 7th please.
Piper: 7th? I thought we were going to your place.
Jeremy: We are, but you reminded me of something. I want to show you the old Bowing building. The view of the Bay Bridge is amazing.
Outside Quake. Phoebe and Prue start walking down the sidewalk.
When I was looking in the Book of Shadows, I saw these woodcarvings. They looked like something out of a Bosch painting. All these terrifying images of these three women battling different incarnations of evil. Phoebe told them.
Oh joy Phoebe, have you thought that I don't want to do this or if any of us want this. Payton asked her.
Evil fighting evil, that's a twist Prue exclaimed
Phoebe: Actually, a true witch is a good witch. They follow this Wiccan lead. 'And it harms none, do what ye will.' If a witch violets this oath, they become known as a warlock, regardless of their gender. A warlock has but one goal: to kill witches and obtain their powers. Unfortunately, the look like regular people. They could be anyone, anywhere. Prue and Phoebe and Payton stop walking.
Prue: Okay, wait a second. And this has what to do with us?
Phoebe: The women in the first wood carving were in the slumber, but in the second one, they were battling some sort of warlock. I think that as long as we were in the dark about our powers we were safe. But not anymore.
Oh great Phoebe Payton says.
The old Bowing building. Jeremy opens the door.
Jeremy: Well, here we are.
Piper: I don't care how amazing the view is. I'm not going in there.
Jeremy: Come on, come on. I have a surprise inside. (They step inside an elevator. Jeremy pressed the button and the elevator starts to go up.) You are going to love this. I bet you tell Prue and Phoebe the moment you see them.
Piper: I never mentioned Phoebe came home.
Jeremy: Whoops. (He pulls out a knife.)
Piper: What is that?
Jeremy: That's your surprise.
Piper: Jeremy, stop it, you're scaring me. Damn it! I'm serious!
Jeremy: So am I. See, I've waited six months for this. Ever since Grams went to the hospital. You see, I've known for some quite time that the moment that old witch croaked that all your powers would be released. Powers that would reveal themselves as soon as the four of you got together again. All that was needed was for Phoebe to return.
Piper: It was you weren't it? You killed all those women.
Jeremy: Not women, witches!
Piper: Why? (He raises his hand and flames come out of his finger tips.)
Jeremy: It was the only way to get their powers. (In a demonic voice) And now I want yours. (Piper screams as Jeremy raises his arm about to stab Piper. She puts her hands up and he freezes. The elevator freezes as well. She pulls away from Jeremy.)
Piper: Okay, think, stay calm. Think, think, and think. I got to get out of here. Okay. Okay. (She climbs up onto the next floor. Jeremy unfreezes and he grabs her leg. He tries to pull her back into the elevator but she grabs a wooden two-by-four and hits him over the head. He falls to the floor unconscious. Piper gets up and runs away.)
Manor. Phoebe presses play on the answering machine. She's sorting through the mail.
Roger: Prue, its Roger. Look, I'm sorry about what happened. Call okay? No matter how you beg. (Prue comes in holding Kit and presses a button on the answering machine.)
Prue: Well, Piper's definitely not home unless she's turned into a cat. (Prue opens the back door and the puts the cat down.)
Phoebe: Where did that cat come from?
So Prue what are you going to do about Roger then Payton asks Prue.
I don't know. You must have left the window open. (Prue closed the door.) Did Piper leave a message Pure asks.
No. She's probably out with Jeremy. Roger called. Phoebe told them.
Yeah, that's why I pressed the delete button. Prue said (The front door opens.)
Prue? Phoebe? Payton?
In here. Payton called (Piper comes in and locks the door.) Piper?
Oh my God, what happened to you? Prue asked.
Quick, check the windows and lock the doors. We don't have a much of time. In the Book Of Shadows, did it say how to get rid of a-a… Piper asked
A warlock?Payton asked
Prue and Piper put a dresser in front of the front door.
I'm calling the cops. Prue says.(Prue picks up the phone.)
And tell them what? That we're witches? (Piper pulls the phone away from her and puts it down.) That some freak with powers beyond comprehension is trying to kill us? Besides, even if the cops did come, they'd be no match for Jeremy, and we'd be next. Piper told her (Phoebe and Payton comes down the stairs with the Book of Shadows in hand.)
I found our answer. It's our only hope. Come on. (Prue and Piper follow Phoebe up the stairs Payton ran up after them.)
Cut to Jeremy. He is now running down an alley.
Cut to the attic. They are sitting in a circle on the floor around a circle of candles with a bowl in the middle. They have placed candles in a circle around them.
Phoebe: Now we've placed the nine candles anointed with oil and spices in a circle. Phoebe tells them
Where are the roses that Jeremy gave you Prue asked?
Right here. Payton says (Payton shows a rose.)
Okay. Then all we need is the poppet. Payton tells them. (Piper gets the poppet.)
Okay. I'm ready. "Your love with wither and depart, from my life and my heart, leave me be, Jeremy, and go away forever." Piper chants (Piper pushes two roses' thorns in the poppet.)
The spell is complete Prue asks.
Phoebe: Okay. Let's hope it works. (Piper places it in the pot. They watch the poppet and rose burn. It then explodes and catches on fire. They scream and jump back.)
Cut to Jeremy. He is walking down the street then suddenly he starts screaming in pain. Hundreds of thorns tear through his skin.
At the Manor. The sisters are walking down the stairs.
Do you think it worked? Prue asked
Let's hope so. Phoebe answered.
I still can't believe it was Jeremy. (Phoebe suddenly stops and gasps as she reaches the dining room.)Piper was telling her sisters.
What is it asks Payton
What's wrong? Piper asks Panicking again.
The incantation. It didn't work Phoebe
What asked Piper?
Why asked Payton.
How do you know Prue asked Phoebe.
Because I just saw Jeremy. He… Phoebe told her. (Jeremy opens the door.)
Hello, ladies. Jeremy says (Prue stands in front of Phoebe and Piper and Payton. They slowly walk backwards.)
Piper, Phoebe Payton. (She uses her power and he hits the wall.) Get out of here now! Prue yells. (They run upstairs.)
Cool parlor trick, bitch. You were always the tough one weren't you, Prue, huh? You didn't even cry at your Mommy's taunts her.
And I won't be crying at yours. Prue tells him (She uses her powers again he hits the wall. She runs upstairs.)
Up in the attic. The sisters are putting things at the door.]
Phoebe, I'm sorry. Prue tells her
For what? Phoebe asks.
For not trusting you? Prue says (There is an evil laugh from outside. The stuff glows red in front of a door. They back up to a standing lamp. Suddenly, a fire surrounds them.)
What do we do? Payton asks.
We're trapped Piper tells them. (The fire disappears, then a big dust snake-like thing that circles around them. It's face looks like Jeremy's. They scream. Suddenly, it blows away and creates a tornado around them. The door burst open and there stands Jeremy.)
Come on, let's face him together. Remember the spirit board? Payton tells them.
The inscription on the back. Piper asks.
Phoebe & Piper and Payton: The power of four will set us free. The power of four will set us free. The power of four…
Phoebe: (To Prue) we cannot do this without you. Say it. You have got to trust me. (Prue nods. They holds hands.)
Phoebe & Piper & Prue & Payton: The power of four will set us free. The power of four will set us free. The power of four will set us free. The power of four will set us free. The power of four will set us free. The power of four will set us free. (They continue the chant over and over.)
No! I am not the only one! I'm one of millions! In places you can't even imagine! In forms you would never believe! We are all around you! You won't be the last! You will never be safe! And you will never be…free! Jeremy screams at them. (Jeremy explodes and disappears. The dusts go away.)
The power of four. Prue say
Manor. Next morning. She picks up the newspaper. She's about to head back inside.
Andy: Good morning! (Prue turns around to find Andy standing at the bottom of the stairs.)
Hey, this is a says
Andy: Yeah. I heard a neighbor complain about a noise last night. I was just wondering, is everything okay? Or did you throw a party you didn't invite me to.
No. I'm fine and believe me. There was no party here last night. I don't know why anyone complained. Prue answers
Andy: Some people are strange. (Phoebe and Piper and Payton come outside. Phoebe's holding the Kit.)
I told you I heard a man's voice. Payton says
Andy: Hey Piper. Phoebe. Payton.
Hi. Phoebe and Payton say at the same time.
Hey stranger. Piper says. (Andy notices Kit.)
Andy: It that your cat?
It is now. Phoebe tells him.
Andy: It looks familiar. (Pause) Well, I'll see you later than. (He starts to leave and then stops and turns around.)
Prue & Piper & Phoebe & Payton: Yes?
Andy: Some other time. (Andy leaves.)
Do you think Andy knows about us? Prue asks
No. Piper and Payton say. (Prue looks at Kit. She purrs.)
I think he knows about us. Prue tells them.
Who would ever believe him anyway? Phoebe asks.
That's true. Payton says. (They start to walk back toward the house.) So, what are we going to do now? Phoebe asks.
Same thing that we've always done. Borrow each other's clothes, hog the phone. But no matter what, we'll always be sisters, right? Prue states to them.
Yeah. Sister witches. Phoebe says Payton smiles.
(Prue stands inside the house, looks at the door and shuts it with her power.)
