The camera shows the Halliwell manor from the outside. It walks towards the door where we see that the glasses are broken. We see views of the manor while the camera shows the wall, or better the big hole on the wall, through which the sisters were pushed. Opposite to the window, we see Dr Griffiths lying next to it, full in blood and unconscious. An eerie silence eminates.

Suddenly we hear orb sounds. Leo orbs in! He sees Prue and Piper lying on the floor, and streaming blood next to them.

Leo: No! Piper! Prue! Oh please don't let it be too late…

Leo runs over the sisters, extends his hands over them and heals both of them. The sisters open their eyes coughing.

Prue: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Piper: What happened?

Leo: You guys almost died, that's what happened!

Prue: Where is Shax? And Dr Griffiths?

Leo shows with his eyes where his body lies.

Prue: NO!

Prue runs to him and tries to get a pulse. Nothing.

Prue: Leo do something.

Piper: What can he do? He is dead Prue.

Prue: That son of a bitch Shax! We are gonna get him this time! All we need is to check the book of shadows.

Piper: Well Phoebe is supposed to be checking it at the moment. By the way, where is she? PHOEBE!

Prue: PHOEBE?

Leo: Guys we need to talk. That's serious.

Change of scene. Underworld. We see the lair where Cole and Phoebe are. Phoebe stands there sobbing, praying that time has reversed itself and that Piper is still alive. Cole stands besides her, trying to calm her down.

Cole: Phoebe, I realize that this must be very difficult for you. But we have to get you out of here. Who knows what the source is going to do now. We have to get out of this lair.

Phoebe: No. First we need to wait for Leo. Because if my sisters are not both alive, i'm gonna vanquish the Source's sorry ass.

Cole: Phoebe please, get serious. You are alone. Without the power of three you can't do much.

Phoebe: So? What do you suggest? Just leave and let him manipulate things as he wants?

Cole: Well there is no much you can do by sitting here and waiting. As we speak The Source may be sending demons against us.

Phoebe: So what? We'll fend them of. Together we are unbeatable, you know that.

YOU WONT HAVE TO!

A dark, ominous voice comes from the other side of the lair. A dark figure appears. The Source! He was there, with ten bodyguards surrounding him. All of them had evil faces, as if they were ready to attack.

Cole: DON'T HURT HER, PLEASE!

The Source: Hurt her? What are you talking about? I came here to welcome her to our world, Balthazor.

Phoebe: What are you talking about?

The Source: The deal is a deal, witch.

Phoebe: Of course. I stayed down here, without warning my sisters. Isn't that enough?

The Source: but you sent the white lighter, that quiet covers, don't you think?

Phoebe and Cole look each other worried.

The Source: Plus, you can't leave this world. Unless you want our pact to break, right? Including Tempus' reversing time.

Phoebe: What the hell are you talking about?

The Source: I'm talking about our pact, witch. You agreed to stay down here, remember?

Phoebe: Yes, till time resets. And by the way, did time reset?

The Source: Of course, that war our deal, remember? So it's your time to honor your part of the deal! Unless, you wanna break the pact, leave and kill your sister?

The Source walks towards Phoebe and looks her deep into the eyes.

The Source: So?

Phoebe stands there, looking at him with open mouth, speechless.

OPENING CREDITS

We see Shots of San Francisco. The camera shows the Halliwell manor, and then the living room, where Prue, Piper and Leo are.

Leo: That's how things are. Phoebe stayed down there to save you. That's the pact with the source.

Prue: Leo, I cannot believe you let her do this.

Leo: What other choice I had? Piper was dead and…

Prue: That doesn't justify you!

Piper: Prue, please calm down.

Leo: I was trying to save you, Prue!

Prue: What for, so that Phoebe may die? instead of Piper? That's not a solution, that's a bigger problem we have over our shoulders now!

Piper: Why do you say that?

Prue: Because who knows what the Source is going to do with her!

Leo: Don't worry, i'm gonna orb down there and bring her up. I just don't believe Cole will let anything bad happen to her.

Piper: I agree. But the Source is the Source, we can never trust him. Please go down there and get her.

Leo: Ok honey. I'm so glad you are alive. Phoebe almost fainted when I told her that you died, you know.

Piper: That's the least she could do, considering how many times I saved her from Prue.

Piper looks at Prue who gives a sight smile.

Piper: Ok go, we'll stay here and contact Morris. We still have Dr Griffiths to handle.

Prue: I'll call him. You go rest.

Leo: Ok, if Shax attacks again, just say the spell to vanquish him, ok?

Piper: Ok, go.

Leo kisses Piper and he orbs out in the middle of the kiss.

Piper: I hate when he does that.

Piper turns to her sister, who has a very anxious and concerning look at her eyes.

Prue: Piper, I have a bad feeling about this. I had one all day, and one thing I learned since I became a witch, is to trust those feelings.

Piper tries to comfort her, failing. Prue takes the phone and calls Darryl.

Prue: Darryl, are you there? Yeah, it's Prue. We have big problems.

Change of scene. Underworld. Leo orbs in the lair where he had left Phoebe and Cole. He sees the Source looking straight into Phoebe, and the 10 bodyguards surrounding him.

Leo: Cole, what's going on here?

The Source: Ah, the whiteligther! At last. Ms Halliwell over here is very anxious about what happened. Please tell us.

Phoebe: Is everything alright, Leo? Are my sisters ok?

Leo: Your sisters are fine; it's you i'm worried about. Cole, you said nothing will happen to her!

Cole: Leo, i…

Phoebe: No, stop it. I'll explain everything.

Leo: Explain what? What is going on here?

The Source: I had a little chat with the little witch, that's what's going on.

Phoebe: Leo, i can't leave the underworld.

Leo: What? What are you talking about?

Phoebe: If I leave the underworld, I'll break the pact with the Source. That will automatically lead to undo our magical deal, thus reversing time and killing Piper.

Leo: That's not possible.

The Source: Oh yes, it is. We had a pact, whiteligther. She has to honor it.

Leo: Phoebe, listen to me.

Phoebe hugs Leo, and whispers in his ears:

Phoebe: Don't not worry about me. Go tell my sisters, they will find a way to save me.

Leo: Phoebe, I can't leave you here, he'll kill you!

Phoebe: No, if he wanted to kill me, he would have done it by now. Just go.

Leo: Ok. I'll be back.

Leo looks at the Source, who does not even stare at him, then Cole, with an angry look at his face, then the bodyguards, and then he orbs out.

Phoebe turns around to see The Source, who, at the same time, gives a huge punch to Cole, throwing him at the wall, unconscious.

Phoebe: No! Cole!

Phoebe tries to run at Cole, when two bodyguards capture her, and chain her all over her body. Phoebe looks scared at the Source.

The Source: Get her to the FORBIDDEN DUNGEONS. NOW!

The bodyguards, all of them, walk out of the lair with the chained Phoebe. The Source stays there alone, looking at Cole. He forms his Characteristic Fireball (C.F), and says to himself.

The source: You've been such a pain, Balthazor. Its time I stop worrying about you.

He raises his hands to throw the fireball at him, when the Oracle appears in her own way.

Oracle: May you should think twice before doing this, My Liege.

Change of scene. Halliwell Manor. We see the big hole at the wall. Piper looks at it, bracing herself with a cold look. Next to her is Prue talking with Darryl.

Prue: Darryl, what are we going to do?

Darryl: I don't know Prue. This is serious. Last time I covered you with this, how did you call her... Ms Hell…

Prue: Miss Hellfire. Yes.

Darryl: Well this time it's not the same. We have a dead doctor here. Who would want to kill a doctor?

Piper: Maybe an angry relative of a lost patient? She gives them a stupid smile.

Prue: Piper, get serious.

Darryl: Actually no, that's pretty usual you know. Many people chase the doctors who didn't manage to save their relatives. That's why every doctor has a lawyer, you know.

Prue: Ok Darryl, anyway. Look, we have bigger problems with our living relatives right now. Just call someone to pick the body, and we'll figure this out later.

Darryl: Ok Prue, got it. I'll call the team.

Darryl opens his radio.

Darryl: guys, Inspector Darryl here. Bring everything you need as well. We have a dead doctor here.

Prue: Thank you Darryl. She hugs him.

Darryl: We are going figure a way to cover it, Prue. I promise.

Prue: Thanks. Smiling.

The team comes in and the policemen collect the body. One of them looks at the hole on the wall and gets horrified.

Guy: What kind of a monster would do something like this? GOD!

Piper: Thank god he didn't get us too. Poor man.

Guy: Yeah, thank god.

The team collects the body. Piper closes the door after saying goodbye to Darryl. Then she goes in the kitchen, where she sees Prue sitting there, still, and lost in her thoughts. Suddenly, Prue shouts:

Prue: You know what, where is Leo? LEO!

Piper: Leo?

Leo orbs in.

Prue: Where is Phoebe?

Leo: She couldn't come.

Piper: What the hell are you talking about?

Leo: We need to talk.

Leo and the sisters go to the living room where he explains everything.

Prue: That cannot be happening.

Piper: So what, she is gonna stay down there for ever? That's not possible!

Leo: That's the pact.

Prue: Screw the pact. Let's go get her now.

Leo: Prue, you don't understand. If she comes up here, time will automatically reset and Piper will be dead. Plus, you will be in a hospital room, crying over her dead body! All hell breaks will loose! Is that what you want?

Prue: I just want my sister back Leo. WE CAN'T LEAVE HER DOWN THERE!

Piper: Leo, she's right. Look, you've been an angel. But now you have to let us do our job.

Leo: No way Piper. You are not going down there.

Piper: We can't leave her down there! Prue is right! Tears start to run from her eyes and stars to panic. Prue hugs her, strokes her head and tells her:

Prue: Relax honey, we are gonna figure a way around this. There must be a way. There always is.

Piper: I'm scared, Prue. Phoebe is my baby sister; I would never stand to lose her. I prefer to die instead of her.

Prue: No, nobody is gonna die. At least, not from us. Piper, go up to your room and relax ok?

Piper: No Prue, I wanna stay here and help.

Prue: Please honey, just go. I'll talk with Leo. And figure out a way.

Piper: You always do, Prue. - Piper hugs her. - I love you.

Prue: Me too. Go.

Piper goes upstairs. Prue turns to Leo and looks him with a determined look.

Change of scene. Underworld. Phoebe is locked in a dungeon. In the FORBIDDEN DUNGEONS. No magical being that had been in there managed to get out alive. She is scared, crawling in a cold bed and thinking. Her future, what is gonna happen to her, where is Cole. She also thinks of her sisters, and how they are planning to save her. Suddenly the big heavy door is opened by a bodyguard, and the oracle walks in. She holds a big plate with fruits. She places it on a big dusty old table, and turns to Phoebe:

Oracle: You must be hungry, my dear.

Phoebe: Since when demons worry about witches?

Oracle: Don't be rude. I came all the way here, you know.

Phoebe: The question is, why.

Oracle: I think you know why, Phoebe.

Phoebe: No actually, I don't. And before we you answer me, can you please tell me where is Cole?

Oracle: Don't worry; I kept your little Balthazor alive.

Phoebe: Meaning?

Oracle: Meaning that the Source would kill him if I didn't stop him.

Phoebe: Why? Why do you care so much about me? and Cole?

Oracle: Because I know how much you love him. And knowing that by yourself you wouldn't be able to stay down here.

Phoebe: What makes you think I will stay? I don't know what the Source's plans are, but my sisters…

Oracle: Are going to save you, yes, I know. So much faith on each other. It's a pity, because this time it's not going to work.

Phoebe: How can you be so sure?

Oracle: Because my dear, you made a pact. And if you don't honor it Piper will die, which means that the power of three will be broken. Not to mention that Prue will also die.

Phoebe: What are you talking about?

Oracle: I understand you Phoebe. We understand each other. I also have visions. And I saw what happens if things turn back before time resets. Prue is going to be killed by some – how you call them – special force. And you will be up there alone, with two dead sisters.

Phoebe: no… I don't have vision… just premonitions… she starts to sob…

Oracle: But now, you have a chance.

Phoebe: What chance?

Oracle: A chance to live with the man you love, Cole, and also keep your sisters alive. Without having the Source chasing you.

Phoebe: How?

Oracle: By accepting your true destiny.

Phoebe: My what?

Oracle: Your true destiny Phoebe! The one you know it suits you. – Phoebe looks at her confused. - You know that you are evil, Phoebe.

Phoebe: oh, please, don't be ridiculous.

Oracle: Really? Remember when you are possessed by the Woogyman? Or when you became a banshee? Why do you think it chose you, Phoebe? Not to mention your feelings about Cole. Why do you think you fell in love with him? What did he have that attracted you? And let's not forget when Prue married that demon, and both you and Piper became evil. Remember how good it felt? Plus, when you visited your past self, you also saw what you really are!

Phoebe: I…

Oracle: Stop fighting it Phoebe. You know better than that. And you know that you have a choice.

Phoebe: What choice, to turn evil?

Oracle: But you are partly evil, it's in YOU! Just accept it.

Phoebe: I can't do that. I can't betray my sisters.

Oracle: Really? So which betrayal is going to hurt more? This one, or if you go up there, and both of them die?

Phoebe: Please, stop…

Oracle: you have a choice Phoebe. You can either stay here, accept your evil destiny and get married with Balthazor, not to mention that both of your sisters will be alive, or go up there, kill your sisters and being chased by the world who will know what you are. You will never be able to be happy. And you know that, you sense it.

The Oracle gets up, heads to the door, suddenly she turns, and she looks Phoebe:

Phoebe: Make the right choice. For you, and your sisters. For Balthazor. But don't take too long. I can control the Source's desires any more.

Suddenly the Oracle glows and disappears with her own way, leaving Phoebe crying and wondering what's going to happen.

End of scene

Change of scene. Halliwell Manor. We see Prue and Leo discussing.

Prue: Leo, is there any way to destroy the pact?

Leo: No, in order to destroy the pact, both magical beings that agreed need to be ok with it. And I don't think that the Source will go along.

Prue: I know. That's not an option. So what, it just gonna keep like that forever?

Leo: What do you mean?

Prue: I mean, when will the pact vanish?

Leo: Well, the pact naturally vanishes when one of the magical beings die. It's qualifies two to have a pact.

Prue: That's it! We just have to kill the Source then.

Leo: Prue, listen to yourself. Whatever technique can vanquish the source i'm sure that requires the Power Of Three. And right now, you don't have it!

Prue: That will not stop us from trying Leo.

Leo: Just be careful, not to be the ones that will die Prue.

Prue: With Piper's new power, I doubt it.

Leo: So what? She will never be able to vanquish the Source by herself. Piper does not even have the power to blow upper level demons Prue.

Prue: We will cast the spell I cast two years ago. To multiply our powers. To create three Pipers. And then blow up that bastard

Leo: It's not going to work, Prue.

Prue: How can you be so sure?

Leo: Because it's always the power of three, that's how it always meant to be!

Prue: Ok Leo, do you have any other suggestion? So what do you suggest? To multiply myself and triple astral into his body, making him feel the pain of the whole city? But you have to find me an Empath, to hand me his gift for a while, because right now i'm powerless do to anything else. I'm … she starts to cry…

Leo hugs her.

Leo: I'm sorry.

Prue: No, i'm right. I'm powerless.

Leo: Prue, you are nothing but powerless.

Prue: Really? A true older sister would never let her baby sister go down there, alone.

Leo: Prue, you trust Phoebe. And you relayed on your instincts. 4 years ago, you wouldn't speak to her. Remember?

Prue: I remember. I remember well.

Leo: Stay positive then.

Prue: I'll stay if you promise me that you will be ok with my decision. To get three Prues and three Pipers down there, and try to vanquish that bastard.

Leo: …Ok. Go for it. Go kick some demon asses'.

Prue: Thank you Leo. You know what you have to do. Piper! Wake up! We have work to do!

Prue walks upstairs, leaving a highly concerned Leo, who immediately orbs out.

End of the scene.

Change of scene. Prue walks into Piper's room. Piper is half asleep.

Prue: Honey, wake up.

Piper: Prue? Where is Phoebe? Is she ok? Did you bring her back?

Prue: No sweetie, unfortunately.

Piper: oh…

Prue: but I think I have a way to do that.

Piper: Which is?

Prue: Listen Piper. If we kill the Source, the pact will automatically vanish.

Piper: How do you know that?

Prue: Leo told me. That's how pacts work.

Piper: Oh, ok then. Any suggestion on how to accomplish something like that?

Prue: Actually yes. Come with me.

They both get up and go to the attic. Prue opens the Book Of Shadows. She finds the multiply spell and explains Piper her plan.

Piper: Prue, I don't know…

Prue: Yeah, I know it's not the power of three, but it's the best we've got Piper.

Piper: Ok then. lets do it.

Prue smiles at her younger sister and strokes her head. They both take the book of shadows, light up some candles in a circle, and cast the spell:

'take my powers blessed it be

Multiply their strength by three'

Suddenly lights surround both Prue and Piper. They both fall to the ground, and they

separate into three. The original sisters wake up, and say: Hello guys. The 2 Prues and 2 Pipers smile at them.

Prue: Are we ready then?

Piper: More than ever!

End of scene

Change of scene. Underworld. FORBIDDEN DUNGEONS. Phoebe sits there alone, still. She is lost in her thoughts. Her color is lost from her baby cheeks. She is tired and ready to sleep. Suddenly white lights appear. Prue and Piper appear in the room. With the clones.

Prue: I told you that the reverse of the lost sister spell would bring us here. So now we have the power of three anyway!

Piper: Phoebe!

Phoebe wakes up, smiles and hugs her sisters.

Phoebe: You finally came. What took you so long?

Piper: (crying) you thought that we would leave you down here?

Prue: Wait, that's way too easy.

Phoebe: What is so easy?

Prue: Phoebe. What is the name of your first boyfriend?

Phoebe: What? What are you talking about?

Piper: Prue…

Prue: Piper, let her finish…

Phoebe: It's ah, ah… o alright then!

Phoebe punches both Prue and Piper, who get thrown at the wall. Prueclones TK her away together and she goes flying to the opposite wall.

Prue: That's not our sister!

Piper: gee, you think?

Phoebe wakes up, angry, and shapeshifts into a huge demon.

Huge Demon: Die witches!

Prue: ah ah, no, you first!

Piper shouts at her clones and three of them try to freeze them. This act only slows him down, but long enough for the three Prues to push him back again.

Prue: Pipers, blow him up!

The three shoot at him together and the huge demon blows up in pain.

Prue: Ok, that's good. That's really good. So. Let's get out of here.

The three Prues push together the door and it is pushed away, together with the bodyguard, which was standing outside. The bodyguard tries to get up and attack, but the three Prues throw him away hard at the wall. He hits his head on a rock and explodes.

Prue: Ou, that was cool!

PrueClone1: Just keep moving.

Prue: Excuse me? Hello, you are the clone, remember?

The six sisters start wandering in the dungeons. Eerie sounds are heard from the cages, monsters that are down there locked because they are too dangerous. One of them in in molecular mode. A grave besides it says: Zankou. Piper notices it but decides not to think about it.

Suddenly a third bodyguard appears and throws a huge fireball at the sisters. The three Prues defend themselves telekinetically and throw the fireball back at him. The bodyguard explodes in pain.

Piper: Three Down. But any bright ideas on how to find the Source?

Prue: I think it's time Leo makes his move.

Piper: Excuse me?

Suddenly another three demons appear. One of them pulls a sword and attacks the sisters. Prue TK throws the sword to the other bodyguard, who explodes. The three Pipers blow up the other one, while the three Prues throw the other from the edge of a cliff.

Prue: Suddenly they became so easy to vanquish.

Piper: HA!

Prue: (looking at her clock) It's about time!

Piper: Would you please tell me what's going on?

Prue: well…

Change of scene. Underworld. Elders orb in, protected by a silver circle. The Source flames in.

The Source: You asked to see me?

Elders: No, you asked to see us.

The Source: That's not true. I got a call from Leo, the whitelighter, to meet you here.

Elders: No, Leo told us that you asked to see us.

The Source: That's not true! I… No!

Suddenly Leo orbs in with the six sisters.

Elders: What's going on?

Piper: This!

The three Pipers freeze the Source. He only slows down. The three Prues astral project together next to the Source and the three of them get in him. The Source wins through the freeze and starts screaming.

The Source: You little witch, you will never win this! You will never get control of my body!

Suddenly:

Prue: (screaming from the inside) Piper, Now! Blow him up!

The three Pipers shoot their hands at the Source and blow him up. The Source explodes and vanishes, and the three astral Prues appear. Then the astral Prues get inside the original bodies.

Prue: we did it?

Piper: I don't know. Did we?

Suddenly, the clones disappear.

Prue: Their job is done. Which means we DID it!

Elders: What's going on here?

Leo: You better go, I'll fill you in later. You are in danger here.

The Elders orb out.

Piper: So we did it?

Prue: Why else the clones would disappear?

Leo: They disappeared because they are no longer needed. You made your move.

Prue: And obviously succeeded, otherwise they wouldn't disappear.

Leo: That's not true. Maybe they just realized that they are useless.

Piper: Meaning…?

Leo: Meaning th – Leo is about to continue when black molecules appear spinning very fast and hit them all!

Prue: No!

The Source materializes in front of them:

The Source: You idiot witches! I'm going to kill you right now!

The Source creates a C.F. and throws it at Prue. Prue deflects it and sends it back to him. The Source flames out just in time, and appears again, far away.

The Source: You lost your sister! Accept it! Now I'll have a charmed one on my side! and once I gain her, I will send her against you. It will be very pleaseful to see you kill each other!

Then the Source flames out, leaving Prue, Piper, and Leo wondering.

Piper: Now what?

Prue: Well, since we can't kill the Source, we have to kill… Phoebe.

Leo and Piper: WHAT????????????
