EXT. SAN FRANSCIO – HALLIWELL MANOR – MORNING
The Camera opens the episode on side view of the Halliwell House. The Camera slowly moves closer to the house. Inside the house, we hear many people talking and giggling. Amidst the laughter, the audience sees Piper and Leo sitting at the kitchen table with their children. The audience hears mumbling from little Chris.
Baby Chris (Giggling)
Look at me Momma, I can count.
Piper (Looking at Christ)
Yes, you can sweetie.
Piper and Leo begin to laugh and look at each other with delight in their eyes. Piper notices Chris is still giggling to her so she looks back at Chris.
Piper
Would You like more cheerios sweetie?
Chris
Yes, Please!
Piper begins to pour cereal into Chris's bowl.
INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – ATTIC
The Camera zooms into the attic steps making its way into the door way. The Audience sees the door creek open creepily. The attic looks dark and grimy. The Attic is cluttered with all the vintage décor and furniture. As the camera makes it way to the big windows; all is visible is three trunks closed. The weather outside begins to change from a clear sky to a cloudy dark sky. The middle trunk pop opens and lighting strikes outside the Halliwell's house. The Camera makes its way to the top view of the trunk and the Book of Shadow's is revealed.
OPENING CREDITS
EXT. ABANDON BUILDING – BUCKLAND
The Camera is slowly zooming into the dirty sign that states "Buckland".
INT. BIG DUSTY ROOM
The Camera is looking above shelves with dusty cardboard boxes. We hear voices in the background. The camera swirls around to see two guards walking in the same direction and talking to each other. The lights start to flicker a little bit.
Guard #1
What was that? (Shocked)
Guard #2
It must be the lights, they might need replaced.
Guard #1
Maybe, this place is so out dated.
The camera zooms away. The building starts to shake and the lights flicker again. The flickering and the shaking begin to build. The lights burnt out and the boxes on the shelves start to fall. The cops begin to scream in fear. One of the guards falls to the ground while the other guard is propping themselves onto a poll. The floor begins to crack and the windows start to shatter. Then all of sudden everything stops. The room is dark and quite. The guards are all shaken up.
EXT. BUCKLAND – BACKYARD
An Meteor is traveling from the sky close by and hits the side of the building.
INT. BIG DUSTY ROOM
Guard #2
Are you okay? Do you need me to help you up?
Guard #1
I think I am good but what the hell was that? (With a hard breath)
Guard #2
I don't know but I want to find out
Guard #1 begins to stand up and pulls out his flash light.
Guard #1
Well, Let's Go See…
Both Men begin to walk towards the exit. Both guards flash their lights around the room. Guard #2 points his flash light on ground to discover the cement floors were cracked.
Guard #2
Holy Shit, this must have been the largest earthquake yet
Guard #1 Points his flashlight at the windows on the left side of the room
Guard #1
Must have been because it blew out the windows with it
The guards both make their way to the exit. BOOM! Something BIG pounds hard on the heavy door. So hard its whole frame shudders. The guards stop in their footsteps, their eyes widen and look back at it. BOOM! They both flinches as another blow sends fracture lines rippling up along the length of the solid metal bolt. The guards are in panic. The guard no that it is the only exit; they continue to stand in their same place. - BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! - The door starts splintering under the increasing impact.
And CRACK! The door's hinges start giving way...
The guards being to sweat in their footsteps not sure as to what is on the other side of the door.
The giant metal bolt splits…
One of the guards passes out while the other is in panic.
A sudden, the room becomes dead quite. The conscious guard gasps.
And the entire door EXPLODES.
Huge, jagged chinks of metal fly in from point of impact. Then all you see is fear in the guards face.
EXT. RESTURANT –NIGHT
The Camera zooms on the sign of the restaurant. It states "Prudence"
INT. RESTURANT – PIPER'S OFFICE
PIPER (On the Phone)
Yes, I am really interested in your style of cooking.
(brief pause… mumbles heard from the phone)
Well of course, I was once an owner and manager of my own club
so yes I do know how to run my own business.
Well, I am looking to hire a few more chiefs.
Please give me a call tomorrow, have a good day.
A sudden earthquake catches Piper and she falls out her chair.
PIPER
Owww… What the hell is going?
Orbs begin to fill in the room. All of sudden Paige appears.
PAIGE
Did you just feel that earthquake? (Excited) It was intense.
Piper lays on the floor.
PIPER
Yes and as you can see I am currently
on the floor. (in a sarcastic voice)
Paige walks over to Piper and helps piper to get onto her feet.
PIPER
What the hell is going on here in San Franscio recently?
All these earthquakes are driving me insane.
IT's causing me to have delay on my grand opening.
PAIGE
I don't know what going on but I am sure
enjoying the spontaneous shakes though.
PIPER
Paige? What has gotten into you recently?
You seem so chipper all the time.
PAIGE
Well… I've been really happily lately.
PIPER
Meaning?
PAIGE
Henry has been the reason why
PIPER
Really? You guys are finally getting along?
PAIGE
Yeah we are. I know everything was kind of a rush
being engaged and getting married quickly but Yes, we are happy.
Piper chuckles and beings to laugh
PAIGE
What's so funny? What did I do?
PIPER
Oh I know why you're happy.
It's because your back in the saddle.
PAIGE
Ewww Piper that's gross.
PIPER
But it's true why else would you be happy?
PAIGE
Well you got me well… Us I guess.
PIPER
So how is Henry?
PAIGE
He is good, been working a lot recently.
I've had a lot of free time doing you know girly things.
PIPER
I see. Have you talk to Phoebe recently?
PAIGE
Yeah, I was with her this morning.
We went shopping and had quality time.
PIPER
And you didn't care to invite me?
PAIGE
I didn't mean it like that Piper. I've hadn't really seen Phoebe though.
She has been busy with Coop and her column.
PIPER
Yeah, her column has been getting a lot of great reviews though.
I'm happy she is getting an interview with Anderson Cooper though.
It's nice that she is getting the spot light. It could help out my restaurant here.
PAIGE
I've noticed also that you recently named your restaurant.
PIPER
Yeah, I did. I was unsure what to call it at first.
PAIGE
Well, I like it.
PIPER
Me too sis
EXT. BUCKLAND – NIGHT
The camera flares back to it again – onto the grounds of the abandoned building. Surrounding the place is a rusting metal fence with a sign reading "PRIVATE PROPERTY - NO TRESPASSING."
From the distance, sounds are being made. Billie comes flying back and slams hard against the fence, the breath is knocked out of her. Billie dusks- missing an energy ball being thrown at her.
In the distance we see a dark demon creature that has never been seen before.
DEMON
I've always wanted to kill a witch.
BILLIE
Well looks like today is not your day.
The demon lunges towards Billie. Billie neatly sidesteps him. Billie grabs a poison from her shoulder bag and begins to slam it into the demons chest but the demon quickly throws Billie to the ground.
BILLIE
But honestly? I think today is really not going to be your day.
Billie flips herself up and kicks the demon.
BILLIE
Also go find your else a good anger management class…
Billie throws the potion at the demon and the demon explodes.
And suddenly a BRIGHT LIGHT shines in Billie's face. She stops, blinks, shielding her eyes.
NIGHTWATCHMAN (O.S.)
Hey!
The light shining on Billie's revealed to be a NIGHTWATCHMAN's flashlight. He's no hardass - just a guy doing his job.
NIGHTWATCHMAN
If you're looking for what happened here
The other night you lost your chance.
Chased a bunch of kids outta here last night.
BILLIE
Oh. Yeah. Well I will be on my way then.
NIGHTWATCHMAN
If it was my call, I'd let you do
what you want. Not like anybody's
using the place. Besides, after that earthquake
I wouldn't want to be around here.
He gestures "out" with the flashlight.
BILLIE
I'm already gone.
Billie walks away. The Night watchman calls after her.
NIGHTWATCHMAN
Hold it!
Billie stops in fear and slowly turns.
NIGHTWATCHMAN
Take your... whatever
this is with you.
He reaches down, picking up a softball-sized, gently glowing ORB. The Night watchman hands it to Billie, who examines it curiously.
BILLIE
Right.
(long pause)
Thanks.
NIGHTWATCHMAN
Glow balls.
(laughs)
I just don't get your generation.
I mean, what is that thing?
Billie walks away from the Nightwatchman, toward us.
BILLIE
I'll let you know when I find out.
As she leaves Buckland behind, we see the orb eerily under lights Billie's face.
BLACK OUT.
