Ms. Hellfire
Manor
Prue walks in from the kitchen holding a cup of coffee and talking on her cell "All right, I can meet with the Curson foundation at noon, but then we'll have to move my 1:00 lunch regarding the Lowe estate. That will affect my 2:30 slide presentation and my 4:30 meeting with the new printers. Have you confirmed Mrs. Swanson yet?" She asks
Phoebe says "The last Tae Bo class is at 7:00."
"Ok." Prue whispers and then says "I can meet the printers at their office, walk to the royal hotel afterwards for my 5:30 with Mrs. Swanson." She says to Phoebe, Michael and Rosaline "And just enough time to make it to kick boxing class." she then talks in the phone. "Her plane doesn't arrive until 6:00?"
Phoebe says "Oh, so much for Tae Bo."
Prue's cell phone rings as Michael is walking to the kitchen for a drink "I'll get it for you, Prue." He says
"Thanks, it's probably Jack." Prue says
"You don't have time for Jack, literally." Phoebe says
Michael answers the phone "Prue Halliwell's phone Michael speaking." He says
Michael listens and says to Prue "Mr. Caldwell's office."
"It's the new VP Monique why is Mr. Caldwell calling me at home?" Prue says. She listens to Monique "What emergency staff meeting?" She says. "When this morning?"
Michael says "9:30 be there or get fired."
"I'm on my way." Prue says
"Bye." Michael says
Phoebe says "I am very tired, now I need a nap."
Prue says "Yeah well I need another me I don't even have time to have fun anymore."
The back door closes and Michael smirks and says "Piper's home."
Prue and Phoebe look and see her walking and Prue asks "How could you know that?"
Michael says "Telepathy duh."
"Oh, look who it is." Phoebe says
"Morning," Piper says
Rosaline smile and says "Hi."
"Hi." Phoebe says turning to Prue "Do you recognize that person?"
Prue says "I don't know she looks vaguely familiar kind of like a sister we used to have. What was her name…Pi-pi-pip—Pipper?" She says turning to Phoebe.
Phoebe says "What ever happened to her?"
"I do know she fell in lust with the next door neighbor started spending all of her time there." Prue says
Michael and Rosaline just laugh.
"That's because she could. For the first time in months, her life was nice, and calm, and normal. I don't even care that it's Friday the—" Piper says
"Shh," Phoebe says holding up her hand "Don't even say it."
Michael hears something "Hey guys." He says
"The 13th," Piper finishes "See I said it and nothing happened."
Suddenly there are gunshots being fired and the girls scream. Prue, Rosaline and Phoebe duck behind the couch while Michael hides with Piper beside a table.
Phoebe says "I told you not to say it."
"Oh so this is my fault?" Piper asks
"Run!" Prue demands
"No." Piper says
Phoebe says "Get your butts over here."
Piper makes a run for it and freezes the bullet the almost hits her. She runs to the couch. Michael runs for it a bullet hits him as he jumps to the couch sliding on the floor in front of the sisters and his wound self-heals.
They all look over the couch and the gun fires some more the sisters barely miss the bullets that hit the pictures.
"Oh, like I need this today." Prue says
"Since when do demons use bullets?" Phoebe says
"Maybe it's not a demon." Piper says
Michael says "Who else would want to kill us?"
Phoebe and Rosaline look at him "You know, you were a little sharp to the mailman yesterday and we all know how testy they can be." Phoebe says to Prue
They all hear the gun click
Piper says "Freeze."
Phoebe says "Kick."
Prue says "Send flying."
Michael says "Hit with energy ball."
They all look at the front door. They hear glass being stepped on and they turn their heads and see a woman with a gun. Michael is shielding Rosaline as the lady shoots the gun and bullets come towards them at rapid speed. Prue puts her hand up and sends the bullets back the lady making her stumble back and fall into the kitchen.
They all get up and run to the kitchen.
"Oh my god she's not a demon." Prue says
Opening Credits
Manor
Prue dumps out the killer's purse on the table
"Multiple aliases, foreign currency," Piper looks at what Michael has in his hands "And throwing stars."
Prue takes the lipstick from Rosaline and says "Not exactly Avon calling."
Rosaline grabs a card and says "Sutro Heights Apartments."
Piper says "That's kind of scary she didn't live too far from here."
Phoebe says "Well, what's scarier is we've never been attacked by a mortal before."
"Yeah, I never killed a mortal before, either." Prue says
Phoebe says "Prue, you had no choice."
"Still doesn't make it any easier." Prue says
Piper and Michael are looking at a book and Piper says "Does it make it easier if the mortal was a hit woman?"
Prue goes to look at it "A list of names, so…"
"Yeah, look closer we're on it or at least one of us is P. Halliwell and other than an M. Gonzalez and M. Steadwell, we're the only other names not crossed off." Piper says
"A hit woman," Prue says "Someone obviously hired her, someone who knew we had powers I mean, look."
Piper says "Prue telekinesis, Piper power to freeze, Michael telepathy, Phoebe negligible."
"What negligible?" Phoebe says
"Well, that explains why she drove us to the front door and surprised us from behind." Piper says
Prue says "So, why would a demon hire a mortal to kill us? It doesn't make any sense."
Piper says "I just wish we knew about part of the equation before we called…" her sentence is cut off by Darryl and Andy walking into the house.
"Guys hey thanks for coming." Prue says
"To tell you the truth I'm not sure I actually wanna be here. Depends on whether or not you actually tell me the truth this time." Darryl says earning a look from Andy.
"Dude, Darryl someone tried to kill us." Michael says
"Did you see who it was?" Darryl says
Prue points to the kitchen and says "She's in there."
Both Darryl and Andy say "She?"
"We were just sort of standing here talking, and suddenly, she started shooting up the place." Piper says
"A hit woman we think." Phoebe says
"Who obviously wanted us dead we were on her list." Prue says
"And that's why you're standing here alive and she's in here riddled with bullets." Darryl says.
Rosaline says "Darryl it was self-defense."
Prue says "You can check her gun if you don't believe us the only fingerprints you're going to find on it are hers."
"Begs the same question: How come she's got the bullets in her body if you didn't fire the gun?" Darryl asks
Phoebe says "Do you really wanna know, Darryl?"
"Tell me." Darryl says
Phoebe hesitates and then says "We're witches we-we have powers."
Piper says "And we think that there's a—how do I put this, a demon behind this."
Prue says "The only way for us to find out who it is. Is if you can keep all of this quiet for as long as possible."
Darryl nods and says "Let me see the book."
Phoebe says "There are eight names that are crossed out besides us there are only two other names not crossed out."
"Plastique, 10:39 am" Darryl reads
Andy says "Plastic explosives. For all we know, she's already got someplace ready to blow."
"Maybe it's someplace M. Steadwell or Mikey need to be at. At 10." Prue says
Phoebe says "Ok well it's after 9 already."
"Andy and I will check the D.M.V and see if I can get an address." Darryl says
Phoebe says "I'm going to go with you."
Piper says "And Prue, Mikey, Rosaline and I can go to her apartment and see if we can find anything there."
"After we make a quick pit stop a Buckland's," Prue says
Piper says "Are you kidding?"
"I can't lose my job." Prue says
Phoebe says "Hey what do we do with the…"
Darryl says "I can call in a favor and put the body on ice. But that's not going to buy you much time. One day max,"
Buckland's
The VP guy says "As the new regional V.P. of Buckland's auction houses. I'll be implementing a new course of action for a new millennium." As he walks by the door way Prue sneaks in and sits down. "The problem is I don't know any of you well enough to know who's worth keeping or not."
Jack turns to Prue and says "Your late, Partner."
"We are not partners" Prue says
Jack says "Wanna bet?"
Mr. Caldwell says "You, dark hair. Yeah, the one who tried to sneak in late. What's your name?"
Prue puts her hand on her chest and says "M-my name?" he nods "Uh, Prue-Prue-Prue Halliwell." She says
Mr. Caldwell looks at a piece of paper and says "Yeah right, ok you'll be partnered with Sheridan there." Jack turns to Prue and smiles.
Piper says "Psst, Prue we have to go."
Mr. Caldwell says "Every employee in this room, and their partner, has until tomorrow night to scour through the obits, do whatever you have to do to raise 100,000$ of auction material." Prue raises her hand. "Yes."
"By tomorrow?" She asks
"If you want to keep your job," He says "Welcome to the new Buckland's,"
Jack says "Whoa, I guess we better clear the decks huh?" Piper and Michael look at Prue "You know, Prue, we might even have to work over dinner."
"Dinner…no I—I" Prue says
"Come on, we're in this together aren't we?" Jack says
Piper stomps her foot at Prue "Yeah but…" her eyes suddenly close.
Suddenly Astral Prue is standing by Piper, Michael and Rosaline "Prue?" Piper says.
They all look at the sleeping Prue. "Whoa." Michael says.
"Prue?" Jack says
Astral Prue disappears and the real Prue's eyes open "Prue…" Jack says "Have you even heard a word I've said?"
"No." She says "I'm uh feeling a little…weird. I'll be, uh…whoo." She says getting up
"What the hell just happened?" Piper asks
"I don't know." Prue says "I think it was sort of an astral projection."
Michael says "Kool how did you do it?"
"I just felt this desperate need to be two of me and all of a sudden there was." She explains
Piper says "Do you think this is part of your powers growing?"
"Maybe if I can move things with my mind why not my body?" Prue says
Piper says "Well, let's just get out of here before it happens again."
Michael looks and says "No one's coming come on." He grabs their hands and shimmers them out.
Street/M. Steadwell's shop
Phoebe says "Hey, you know, you can ask me anything you want about being a witch."
"No thanks." Was Darryl's reply
"It's actually really cool. We have this book it's called the Book of Shadows." Phoebe says
"Too much information Phoebe." Darryl says
"No but it's—" Phoebe says
"Nothing I wanna know about I'm serious." Darryl says. "I- don't wanna know anything."
"Come on, you don't even wanna know if we, like, can fly or anything?" Phoebe asks
"I don't even wanna know if you own a damn broom, a skillet, a dust buster." Darryl says. "I don't give a damn."
He turns a corner and says "Phoebe, I stare down death every day. But I'm trained to handle it, and that's in this world. I don't know if I wanna be dragged into another."
"You know, I think it's too late, Darryl." Phoebe says "But we won't let anything happen to you I promise." She looks at him and says "Are you sure this is the right address?"
"I'd better hope so. Andy stayed behind to make sure though." He says "It's the only M. Steadwell registered. Damn it's almost 10:00"
A lady come walking down the sidewalk and puts a key in the lock an twists it then does the same for the other lock.
"Oh, is that her?" Phoebe asks. They stop
Marcy starts to open the door but Darryl grabs her as the building explodes.
"My god everybody ok?" Phoebe asks
Darryl says "Yeah." He looks at Marcy "You all right Ms. Steadwell?"
"It worked." She says "I cat believe it. I cast a protection spell, and it actually worked!" she says "My first spell." She laughs
"Don't tell me she's a witch too." Darryl says
Hit woman's place
Prue, Piper, Rosaline and Michael are walking out of an elevator in an apartment.
Prue says "Look at this place. Lalique fixtures, silk woven rugs…I could get used to living hear in a hurry."
"Yeah you just have to know who to kill." Piper says "Rosaline and I are going to check the kitchen."
Prue says "Okay we've got the bedroom."
Prue walks by a closet and Michael walks to the mirrors "Oh…oh…oh, oh my," She says feeling a fur coat.
"You're not taking those." Michael says jokingly
"Yeah, yeah I got it in here go see what Piper and Rosaline found." She says
He walks to the kitchen and catches up with Piper in the hallway.
Rosaline checks the cupboards, Piper checks the fridge, and Michael checks the mail thing.
"Piper, all these envelopes say 'Current Resident'" he says
Prue looks on the shelf and sees wigs, makeup, jewelry, other stuff
They walk into the room Prue is in "She must not have lived here long all the mail is marked 'Resident'." Piper says "Were you twirling?"
"No." Prue lies and then says "But, um, opportunity knocked, and I did answer. Check out this wardrobe."
"Um, Prue, Honey focus," Piper says
"I can't. It's not just the clothes. Wigs, Make-up kits, prosthetic enhancements…" Prue says
Piper says "I wonder if anybody knew what she really looked like."
"Doubt it." Prue says
"Well, if it weren't for the roses we wouldn't even know what to call her." Michael says
"What roses?" Prue asks
"They're in the living room addressed to Ms. Hellfire." Piper says
"Really?" Prue says. and walks to the living room."
"'until we meet at last, Bane.'" She reads
"Uh-oh," Rosaline and Michael say at the same time.
"Don't move, don't even flinch or your dead." DJ says. "That's it now slowly turn around, watch her hands she can kill you with in a second. Ms. Hellfire I presume?"
"You Bane?" Prue asks
"His right hand man DJ." DJ says "Bane is very unhappy with you and wants to see you now."
Piper freezes the room "Ok sorry to disappoint you boys, let's go. Get out of here. Come on." She says
Prue says "Um you know they think I'm Hellfire."
"So?" Piper says
"So maybe I should go with them, I mean maybe the best way to figure out who hired her is to pretend to be her." Prue says
"Ha. Ok that's very funny. Let's go," Piper says
"Piper, I'm serious." Prue says
"I'm Michael nice to meet you." Michael says jokingly followed by a laugh from Rosaline
"Piper, you said yourself, nobody knows what she looks like. Certainly not this Bane guy," Prue says
"Well, Prue, somebody might know what she looks like." Piper says
"Yeah but I can protect myself. I mean, I have something they don't have. Something guns can't even compete with." Prue says
"Today May not be the best day to boast about your powers." Piper says
"Ok, look. If this Hit woman was hired by a demon, then it's only a matter of time before he finds out the P. Halliwell and M. Gonzalez are still alive and sends someone else. So we have to do something." Prue says
"I mean, if you've got better ideas, I'm certainly game." Prue says
"I know, and unfortunately, I don't." Piper says
"Ok, so unfreeze them." Prue says
Piper looks at Michael and Rosaline "Is it just me or is she a little too eager to play this role."
Prue says "It's not a bad role to play."
"True if you wanna get yourself–" Piper says
"I'll be fine." Prue says Piper unfreezes the room
"Are you gonna make this easy or not?" DJ says
"Put that thing away before you hurt you're self…" Prue says walking to the elevator.
"Well, she's gone." Michael says grabbing Piper and Rosaline's hands and shimmering them out.
Commercial Break
Bane's Place
"I swear to god, Bane." This guy says "I tried to get the money for you, but I messed up, I messed up, I was scared I didn't know you were going to react."
Bane says "You lied to me."
"I didn't know, I didn't know—" The guy says
"You made a mistake, and you're sorry for it, right?" Bane says
"Right, yeah." The guy says
"Well, lesson learned all right? Just never lie to me again. Understood?" Bane says
The guys nods and says "Thank you."
He sees Prue come in the doors with DJ
Bane walks up to her and says "Whoa, you are more beautiful than I imagined."
Prue says "We finally meet."
"Did you like the roses?" Bane says
"I would have preferred orchids." Prue says
"Ah, beautiful and honest," Bane says
"Let's take a walk," Bane says "You know what to bring."
Prue and Bane are walking up some stairs and Bane says "So what do I call you?"
"What you always call me." Prue says
"Ms. Hellfire seems so cold in person." Bane says "Unless your e-mails to me have just been…a tease."
"I think you know me better than that." Prue says
"Do I?" Bane asks "You didn't confirm the Halliwell's this morning."
Prue says "Uh, I didn't have a clean shot."
"Well, that's disappointing." Bane says "What about the other two on the list?"
"Gonzalez and Steadwell? It was a blast. But Gonzalez was with the Halliwell's at the time." Prue lies
"I like your style." Bane says. "I always have. Problem is you've still got Gonzalez and the Halliwell's, but you only got until mid-night to take them out."
"Um, don't worry about the Halliwell's or Gonzalez. I know they're every move." Prue says
"I'm getting a lot of pressure you know." Bane says
"From Who?" Prue asks
Bane looks at her and says "You know who?"
"Of course," Prue says. Her cell phone rings.
DJ looks at her and says "Aren't you going to answer that?"
"Yeah," Prue says she opens up her Phone and says "Hello."
"Hey, what happened to you this morning? You completely disappeared." Jack says
Prue says "I'm with a client."
Jack says "Well that better be a rich client. Time is money."
Bane picks up the wine glass "Champagne?" He says holding it to Prue.
"Champagne at this hour? Where are you?" Jack asks
"Me?" Prue says
Bane says "To us."
"Hey, Prue, You know me, I'm all up for having a good time, but were under some serious pressure here." Jack says
"Yeah I kno-" She starts to say but is cut off by astral projecting.
"Are you there?" Jack asks
"Oh god," Astral Prue says
"Prue…" He says
Astral Prue leaves and goes back to her body.
"Are you all right?" Bane asks. "What happened?"
Jack says "Prue, what the hell is going on."
"I'll call you back." Prue says and she hangs up the phone. She looks at Bane and says "Sorry."
Bane says "Maybe, you better hold off on this one, huh? At least until the job is completed."
"I guess I better be going." Prue says
Bane grabs her and says "You're not going anywhere. Not without my driving you." He walks over to DJ and says "Tell him I'm on it."
"Hey, man, why me?" DJ asks "I don't even know the guy."
"You will just go into my office. He'll show ok?" Bane says
Bane's office
DJ walks in and closes the door behind him he walks over to the desk and sits on it.
Barbas appears sitting in the chair and says "Looking for me?"
"Where in the hell did you come from?" DJ asks
"You really don't want to know, trust me. Why aren't the witches dead?" Barbas asks.
DJ says "Witches?"
"Answer me." Barbas says
"How'd you know they weren't dead?" DJ asks
"One develops a…sixth sense about such things When you've been in purgatory for as long as I have." Barbas says "Now, I made a deal. It gives me a 24-hour window to break free, but now, you people, you've gotta kill those witches if I'm going to be successful."
"Who are you?" DJ asks
"A Demon," Barbas says "A demon who has the power…the power to turn innermost fears of a mortal into reality. And there's nothing you can do about it. Want to see?" Barbas asks. He waves his hand over DJ's face and says "Your greatest fear is that your boss is being double crossed. And when he finds out, he's going to kill you for not protecting him."
Suddenly Bane kicks the door open and shoots DJ and the Bane disappears. And DJ is fine. "Pretty cool huh?" Barbas asks
Manor
Dan is looking at the windows and says "I can have my crew install some temporary windows sometime tonight."
Piper is pacing back and forth "Great thanks." She says
"You, uh, waiting for a call?" Dan asks
"Uh…yeah." Piper says "I'm just a little worried about Prue."
Dan says "I don't blame you after what happened. What makes you think it was a drive by?"
"Um, I don't know, wild guess, I guess." Piper says
Michael and Rosaline walk and sit at the table
Dan says "I want you to move in with me."
"Huh?" Piper and Michael say at the same time.
"At least until the permanent windows are installed. If it's your sisters and Mikey your worried about they can move in too. Since Jenny moved back with her folks, there's plenty of room." Dan says
Michael says "What? Jenny moved?"
Piper says "Oh, I don't know if that's such a good idea some of us don't wear pajamas."
"I'm serious." Dan says "Because if things worked out, maybe you could stay permanently. If you wanted to."
Michael hears something and says "Phoebe's home." And like one second later the door opens.
"Piper?" Phoebe yells
Piper says "In here. Um, I don't know what to say."
"Say you'll think about it." Dan says
Marcy comes in the room and says "Oh is he a—" Piper freezes her in mid sentence freezing Dan and Rosaline as well.
"Uh, who is she?" Piper asks
"Would you believe M. Steadwell? How's Dan?" Phoebe asks
"Just asked me to move in, where are Andy and Morris?" Piper asks
"Uh, they're at the morgue putting the hit woman's body under Marcie's name. Where's Prue?" Phoebe says
"Way overdue. She's assumed the identity of the hit woman." Piper says
"What?" Phoebe says
"Yeah and guess what? She's got a new power. She can astral project now." Piper says
"Are you kidding me?" Phoebe says
"Nope," Piper says
"Are you kidding me?" Phoebe asks again
"Nope," Piper says
"I hate her." Phoebe says
"I know." Piper says "All right I'm going to send Dan home. You keep Marcie in the house till this is all over." Piper says.
Phoebe says "Yeah. Right then we'll talk."
"Yeah," Was Piper's reply
Hit woman's place
Prue and Bane get off the elevator and walk in the house.
"Well, thanks for the…" Prue says but pauses when she sees the flowers. "Ride," She says throwing her jacket next to her.
Bane smiles and says "You said you preferred orchids"
Prue looks at him and says "I'm impressed."
"I'm glad." He says. "Now close your eyes." She just looks at him "Trust me." He says and she closes her eyes. He pulls out a necklace thing. "Go ahead, open them." He says "You can open this when I leave, ok?" she touches it "And remember three Halliwell's and Gonzalez by midnight. On second thought make it by 10:00. gives me time to take care of it myself. In case you fail." He kisses her but she didn't like the fact of another guy kissing her when she had a boyfriend, even though she was undercover. He leaves.
She opens the necklace case and it reveals a pretty necklace.
Morgue
The corner is putting things away and stuff when he sees Barbas and DJ. "Wait a minute you cant come in here." The guy says. DJ grabs him and pushes him onto the table. "What do you want?" The guy asks
"Why, your greatest fear, of course, which…" Barbas waves his hand over the guys face "Is being autopsied yourself" Barbas says as a cutting thing raised in the air.
Barbas and DJ open the ice thing and pull the slab out and unzip the body bag. Which reveals the real Ms. Hellfire "Doesn't look much like an explosion victim to me," Barbas says. "I think…your fears of a double cross are justified."
Commercial Break
Manor
Marcie open the cupboards and says "Oh my stars."
Piper, Phoebe and Michael run in "What is it? What's wrong?" Piper asks
"You can't keep wolfs bane and holy thistle on the same shelf. There harmonics are in complete opposition.." Marcie says pointing it out "I don't mean to second guess a sister witch, or brother witch, but this is all wrong I don't see how you can cast a spell that's worth a darn."
Piper, who's annoyed, says "Now, wait just a minute missy."
They hear a car door close "Oh my god, Prue's home I think."
"That's Prue all right." Piper says
They walk into the living room as Prue comes into the house.
Phoebe says "Wow."
"Gee Prue, looks like being a hired killer agrees with you." Piper says
"I don't wanna run the risk of anyone seeing me out of uniform." Prue says
"We've been worried sick about you." Piper says
"I'm sorry I just don't want to jeopardize my cover." Prue says
"Nice cover." Phoebe and Michael say together.
"And nice Porsche, a gift from Bane?" Piper asks
"No Bane prefers…never mind" Prue says
"Look I need to get back before they get suspicious." Prue says "Tell me what you know."
"We know M. Steadwell is safe." Phoebe says
"Can't say the same for the kitchen," Piper says
"Any ideas why she was on the list?" Prue asks
"Could be because she's a witch, I mean, not a magical witch, but a witch practitioner nonetheless," Phoebe says
"A hyper-active witch practitioner." Piper says
"I wonder if all the names were witches. How many were on the list." Prue says
"Ten except P. Halliwell was only down once so if you count us individually." Piper says counting in her head "Thirteen."
"Thirteen dead witches by midnight on Friday the thirteenth ring any bells?" Prue asks.
"Barbas," Piper says
"Gotta be," Prue says
"It can't be I mean we eighty-sixed him already." Phoebe says
"Well, he could have found a loophole." Michael says
"I gotta go back to Bane and try and flush Barbas out." Prue says
Piper says "Prue, you can't go back there."
"Piper, it's almost 8:00 I have gotta get back to Barbas fast, otherwise Bane's gonna want to see four bodies, our bodies." Prue says looking at Michael.
"Have fun." Phoebe says
"Phoebe, I'm working." Prue says
"More like…your working it come on Prue I've take a walk on the dark side I know all the signs." Phoebe says
"Ok so it's a little different." Prue says
"And dangerous," Phoebe says
"I can handle it." Prue says
"Prue, Barbas can paralyze you and use your greatest fear against you." Piper says "You don't want to face that alone."
"I have already conquered my fear of drowning. What else can he do?" Prue says
"Maybe tap into some other fear." Phoebe says "You can't defeat him alone Prue." Phoebe says
"I know that, but for now. I'll be okay." Prue says "I'll call you guys and check in, in an hour." She says
Piper turns to Michael "Where's Rosaline?" she asks
"Upstairs, in my room asleep trust me she could use a little sleep. It's like ever since I found and saved her she just wants me and us to be there to protect her." Michael says
Phoebe says "Don't worry, Honey, we won't let anything happen to you or her."
Dance place
Prue walks in wearing a fur coat. Bane turns around and sees her.
Bane walks up to her and says "You look like you're ready to celebrate. Are the Halliwell's and Gonzalez head?"
Prue says "The night's young, we have a little bit of business to discuss."
"What all work and no play?" Bane says
"Oh we'll play." Prue says "Right after I get my money."
"Well, you'll get paid when they're dead." Bane says
Prue says "Well, you know, the boss has a nasty little habit of disappearing in the middle of the night. I'd hate for my money to disappear with him." Prue says "Can I trust you and Barbas." She says
"I'm disappointed you doubt either one of us." Bane says
"I want to talk to him." Prue says
"Well, like you said the night is young." Bane says
Prue walks with Bane and the whole time she is dancing with him she tries to contact Michael telepathically Mikey. I need you to act as my body guard for when Barbas shows up. She says hoping he can hear her from a certain distance.
"DJ what's your problem?" Bane asks DJ.
"I need to talk to you." DJ says
"Better be life and death." Bane says kissing Prue's arm.
"I'll amuse myself." Prue says aloud then she tries contacting Michael again.
"Make it fast." Bane says
"I just came from the morgue." DJ says
"Oh, looking for a date." Bane says
"No. checking on yours she's a fraud." DJ says
"What are you talking about?" Bane asks
"Marcie Steadwell isn't in the morgue, and I think the real Ms. Hellfire is." DJ explains.
Bane looks over at Prue and says "I don't believe it."
"Well, Barbas believes it." DJ says
Manor
Piper is dialing a number on the phone, Marcie is doing something and saying stuff while Michael sits on the couch trying to reach Prue.
"Uh, Marcie, please," Phoebe says
"Favor us, sister moon with your protective beams." Marcie chants loudly.
"Oh, please stop." Piper says putting a finger to cover her ear.
"Give all who dwell within this spell safe days and sweet dreams." Marcie continues.
"Ok that's all folks." Piper says freezing Marcie.
"Ugh, who knew perky could be so annoying?" Phoebe asks
"How long do you think I can keep her like this?" Piper asks
"Your power, your call," Phoebe says "Hey did you reach Prue?" She asks
"No she's still not answering her cell. She really should have checked in by now. Did Mikey get in touch?" Piper asks
Michael gets up to say something, but says nothing as he hears Prue in his head Mikey. I need you to act as a body guard for when Barbas shows up. He looks at Piper and Phoebe "She says I should act as her body guard. For Barbas." He says
The doorbell rings "Oh maybe that's her." Phoebe says
"Ringing the bell?" Piper and Michael say at the same time.
"Well, maybe she lost her keys." Phoebe says she turns to Marcie "Right Marcie?"
Piper just rolls her eyes and gets the door, "Dan." Piper says opening the door to see him and a long piece of would.
"Hey, Piper," He says
"Dan, Uh, wait." Piper says
"I wanted to bring this over and leave it for my crew." Dan says "They're having trouble finding enough plywood." Michael and Phoebe stand in the door way between the foyer and the living room "Hey Phoebe, Hey Mikey." He says
At the same time Phoebe and Michael says "Hey Dan."
Phoebe turns to Piper "Don't for get about the..."
"Mm-hmm," Piper says
"Is this not a good time?" Dan asks
"Never, I mean always." Piper says "Why don't you come in? here let me help you." Piper says grabbing the plywood and lifting it in front of Dan's face so he can't see the frozen Marcie.
Phoebe removes the blanket and Marcie unfreezes "For those who dwell underneath this roof."
"Ok, um, you know, Marcie, there's a lot of rooms that need protecting upstairs." Phoebe says.
"Wait a minute where did Piper go?" Marcie asks
"Oh, she just cast a little spell of her own." Phoebe says
"Oh." Marcie says
"Yes." Phoebe says Marcie walks upstairs and Phoebe walks over to Michael "Go check on Prue."
He nods and shimmers out
Piper and Dan walk into the conservatory. "So, how you doing?" Dan asks
"Fine, it wasn't that heavy." Piper says
"No I'm talking about everything." Dan says
"Oh, I'm fine with that too." Piper says "I'm just—I'm actually a little stressed. But everything's going to be ok."
"So, have you thought anymore about my offer?" Dan asks "Hey you know what I don't wanna push you."
"I know it's just every time I think I have things figured out, things tend to shift." Piper says.
Dan nods and says "What things?" she looks down "Hey. You just let me know when your ready." They kiss and he leaves
Bane's office
Michael shimmers in as Prue, Bane and DJ walk in.
Prue looks at Michael then looks at Bane and says "You know it's not mid night yet. We still have time lots of time."
"You think you can fool me and get away with it?" Bane says
"Easy now," Michael says dressed in a body guard suit
"You killed the woman I loved." Bane says
"What are you talking about?" Prue asks
"You killed Hellfire." Bane says
"Hey, I warned you once back off." Michael says
"I am Hellfire." Prue says
He pushes her and says "Liar." Michael pushes him away and Barbas appears
"Ah. So very nice to see you again Ms. Halliwell," Barbas says
"Oh dear, Prue?" Michael says as Barbas reads her fear.
"Ah. And it's very nice to meet you Mr. Gonzalez." Barbas says turning back to Prue
Bane says "Halliwell, Gonzalez? From the list?"
"Well, well, well can't say that I'm surprised. Your greatest fear is that someone will kill your sisters." Barbas says
Prue says "No."
"Oh, yes. Demons are after them even as we speak. They have assumed your sisters identities in order to kill them. But you must kill the imposter's first by midnight." Barbas says
Prue says "Kill the imposters."
"Prue, don't listen to him come on." He says reaching his hand out to grab her.
Bane grabs him and says "Then I get to deal with her."
Michael shimmers out and back in trying to grab Prue but she throws out her arm and tries to send him flying but he shimmers out and she tries again in mid shimmer he shimmers out before hitting the wall.
Commercial Break
Manor
Doorbell rings and Darryl and Andy and Phoebe answers the door.
"Hey guys." Phoebe says
"Phoebe." Darryl says
"Come on in." Phoebe says
"Thanks for coming so fast we need you two to Baby-sit." Phoebe says
"Is this one breathing?" Darryl asks
"Yes this one is breathing." Phoebe answers
"Good where you headed?" Darryl asks
"To find Prue and Mikey," Phoebe says
"What? Where's Prue at?" Andy says
"She's impersonating the hit woman." Phoebe says
"What?" Andy and Darryl say
"It's a long story and you guys wouldn't like it. But she was supposed to check in by now." Phoebe says
Andy says "I'm going with you."
"No, no you can't." Phoebe says
"I appreciate it but you can't come with us you don't have powers you could get killed." Phoebe says
Darryl says "You don't have to hide anything from us anymore."
"I know that, Darryl, but believe me, you don't want to be anywhere near us right now." Phoebe says. "We would never forgive ourselves if anything happened to you both of you."
Marcie and Piper are walking down the stairs and Marcie says "…Which cleanses the aura of the house and makes it strong."
"Give me strength. Hi Darryl Hi Andy," Piper says
"Hey Piper," Andy says
"Piper," Darryl says "You're gonna have to come with me, Ms. Steadwell."
"Ok, thanks for everything Marcie bye-bye." Piper says
Marcie just looks at Darryl and Andy and says "Oh, is this about the explosion at my shop?"
"Yes, and until we close the case, you'd be safer with me." Darryl says
"Oh, I think you have that backwards, inspector. You see, the protection spell I cast has been doing such a bang up job for these girls." She sprays perfume on him "Just imagine what it could do for you."
"Okay well, we thank you for that protection spell. Thank you so much." Phoebe says "And now we have to go now."
"Come inspectors my work here is done." Marcie says squirting more perfume
"Why don't we just leave that here," Darryl says taking it and handing it to Phoebe
As soon as they start to leave they hear Michael yell and he shimmers in on the floor sliding across the room into the table. "Ow."
"Oh, my god," Phoebe says running to him with Andy to help him up.
"We have to go Barbas manipulated Prue." Michael says shimmering them to the apartments.
Ms. Hellfire's place
Phoebe, Piper and Michael show up walking out of the elevator
"Are you sure that was the Porsche parked out front?" Phoebe asks
"Positive, Prue's here somewhere." Piper says
"Hopefully alone," Michael says
They hear her walk and Phoebe gasps as Prue enters
"We've been so worried about you." Piper says
Prue throw out her hand and send Piper flying backwards.
Phoebe watches then says "Prue?" and Prue sends her flying too.
She tries to send Michael flying but he only moves away a couple feet he makes an energy ball and throws it but she deflects it and it hits him in the chest sending him soaring backwards.
"Are you all right?" Phoebe asks
"No I'm not," Piper says
"Come on. Crazy sister," Phoebe says helping Michael up
"What is going on?" Piper asks
"I think you need to freeze her fast." Phoebe says
"Good witches don't freeze, remember?" Piper says as Prue walks in on the other end of the hallway.
"She doesn't look so good right now." Phoebe says
"I won't let you kill my sisters." Prue says sending a round plate like thing at them.
It flies to them at rapid speed and Piper and Phoebe duck and Michael jumps and tries to shield himself but instead he disappears by orange flames and reappears behind Piper and Phoebe.
"Patio fast. Come on." Phoebe says
They walk into the patio and hide "Oh, no." Phoebe says
"What is it?" Piper asks she sees Phoebe almost sneeze "don't, don't…"
Phoebe sneezes and Prue looks at them
Michael says "She doesn't know you're her sisters."
"We gotta make her choose we have to try and convince astral Prue." Piper says "Make her wanna be in to places at once. Ready?"
"Yeah," Was Phoebe's reply
"Ok, go." Piper says running to the stairs
Phoebe runs up to her and stops and says "Hi."
"Come on Prue come and get me." Piper says
"Uh, No it's me you want over here." Phoebe says clutching Michaels arm for him to shimmer out in case she tries any thing.
"No, Prudence, come on. Me" Piper says
"No, me" Phoebe says
Prue looks at Phoebe then her eyes close and her head looks down and Astral Prue appears by Piper.
"Phoebe! Mikey!" Piper says running "Guys we need to hurry before she becomes one again." Piper keeps backing up "Phoebe!" Piper says and Michael and Phoebe appear behind her.
"Prue, Barbas has brainwashed you." Phoebe says
Astral Prue looks at them and says "You're going to hurt my sisters."
Phoebe runs to Piper and takes Michael with her behind a pillar.
"Prue, we're you sisters." Piper says they run to the other side of the pillar "Listen to me. You gave me the chicken pox."
"Yeah, and remember I taught you how to French kiss." Phoebe says
"You broke your ankle when you were seven." Piper says "Come on, Prue. We went to Duran Duran together. You stretched out my legwarmers."
Phoebe says "And then you gave them to me."
Astral Prue says "How do you know all this?"
"Because, they're your sisters, Prue," Michael says
"Sisters?" Prue says
Phoebe walks up to Astral Prue and Piper hesitates and Phoebe pulls her beside her and Michael stands next to Piper. They hug and Astral Prue disappears in a pink flash and goes back in her body.
Michael, Piper and Phoebe run to Prue.
"Prue?" Phoebe says "Are you with us?"
"I want Barbas." Prue says
"All we have to do is lay low until mid-night, and then he'll disappear and go back to wherever the hell it is he came from." Piper says
"No if he's back early, who knows what rules apply or don't?" Prue says "I don't wanna take any chances lets go show him what his greatest fear is."
Bane's Office
Barbas looks at the clock and tells Bane "If she's not back in one minute, then I'm gonna spend my last two minutes killing you."
"I didn't come to you, you came to me, remember?" Bane says
"That's right." Barbas says "And if you hadn't been blinded by your earthly passion, I would be minutes away from freedom right now." The door opens and Prue stands there "Are they dead?" Barbas asks
"They're right where they belong" Prue says as Michael, Phoebe and Piper walk in behind her.
"Kill them." Barbas orders and Bane grabs his gun.
"No, no" Piper says freezing Barbas and Bane
Phoebe walks up to Bane and says "I'm beginning to see your attraction to the dark side."
Prue says "Oh, it wasn't just his dark side I was attracted too." Prue says. she turns to Piper "Do you think that you can just unfreeze him?"
"I don't know I've never tried." Piper says
Phoebe takes the gun from his hand and Piper unfreezes just him. Barbas remains frozen.
Phoebe says "Looking for this." Showing him the gun
"What's going on?" Bane asks
"Witchcraft at it's best." Prue says
He starts to run away "Oh Prue." Michael says and she sends him flying into the door.
Barbas unfreezes as the clock chimes "No." He says as he is being vanquished.
Phoebe looks at Michael and her sisters and says "I never get tired of kicking his butt."
Prue walks over to Bane and says "Just a little something to think about in jail."
"It won't be the only thing I think about, I promise." Bane says
Prue looks at him and says "Is that a threat?"
He smiles and says "No, it's a compliment."
Manor
Piper and Phoebe are cleaning the window's laughing.
"Dan did a really good job with these windows." Phoebe says "He is obviously very good with his hands."
Piper sits down and says "Hey, hands off those hands."
"So, did you decide whether or not you're gonna move in with him?" Phoebe asks Piper.
"I have to admit it's very tempting." Piper says
"Yeah, well, you know, you gotta do what you gotta do." Phoebe says "And you deserve to be happy." Piper nods and Phoebe says "And don't worry about us. We'll be fine. Especially if I get your room"
"Yes, you could have my room." Piper says "That is if I was moving out."
"Oh, you're not gonna move out?" Phoebe says "Oh, that is so good, because you need to be with your sisters just a little while longer."
"I adore Dan but it's just way too soon for me to move in with him." Piper says "There are a few things I need to figure out first. Are you happy now?"
"I'm delirious." Phoebe says
Andy and Prue come walking in and Prue is on the Phone "Well, just tell Marcie that she can sell the ring and use the money to rebuild the book store. Tell her it's a thank you for protecting us. No, Darryl, the ring is not hot. I'll talk to you later." She hangs up the phone.
"So, what else did Hellfire get from Bane?" Phoebe asks
"Diamond necklaces, bracelets," Prue says "A hockney, a Salvador Dali,"
Piper says "You can't really keep all that stuff, can you?"
"No." She says "no, it wouldn't really be right, but maybe I can figure out a way to use it for some good and save my job. And if not I can always astral project and job hunt twice as fast." Prue says
Phoebe says "Sure, just rub it in. I would love to be in two places at once."
"As long as one of those places is fun, I'll be happy…I think I may have learned a few things from Ms. Hellfire. Change my routine, shake things up a little bit." Prue says looking around "Where's Michael at today?"
"He is with Rosaline somewhere." Piper says
Andy gets up and kisses Prue and says "I love you."
Underworld
Michael and Rosaline shimmer in outside the wall surrounding Jared's castle. And she gives him a slight thank you kiss for saving her last week. Two demons shimmer in.
"Hey, get away from him." One asks forming an energy ball to throw
"Stop, right now." Michael commands and the demons kneel
"Sorry, my liege, I-I thought she was attacking you. It won't happen again." The other says
"Yeah, it better not." He says threateningly "Leave." They shimmer out.
Rosaline grabs his hand and says "Mikey, I've been waiting a while to ask you this but uh, will you go out with me?"
He smiles and says "I'd love to." And they kiss and shimmer into the castle.
