Undercover Witch
[Scene: A downtown alley. Night time.]
(A gang of demons are chasing someone down an alley. They start throwing fireballs, energy balls, electricity, the whole works at her, but they keep missing her. They keep chasing her. She keeps running as fast as she can. She goes around a corner and runs into a dead end. She hits her fist against the wall. The demons walk behind her equipped with their powers. They all start laughing and the leader walks forward smiling.)
Leader Demon: How unfortunate. We spend all this time chasing after you and you run into a dead end. This isn't going to be very fun. (He gets ready to throw an energy ball at her and she turns around to face them. He throws the energy ball at her and she acts as if it was a slap on the wrist. His smile fades away. Instead, his mouth is wide open.)
Patience: Oh believe me, (She looks up with a smirk.) This is gonna be loads of fun. (She throws the energy ball at a demon and he turns in to dust. The others start running at her and she starts to count.) Two, four, six, eight, nine. I was hoping for an even number. Oh well. (She dodges a fireball and then runs towards the demons. She dodges a punch and gives the leader demon an uppercut and he flies backwards. She turns around and throws an energy ball at a demon behind her and turns him into dust. A demon makes a move for her but she ducks and he flips over her. She throws an energy ball at him and he turns to dust. She runs to a demon and breaks his neck. He turns to dust. A demon tries to stab her with a knife but she gets the knife from him and stabs him instead. He bursts into flames. She throws the knife at a demon running away and he bursts into flames. A demon bombards her with fireballs but she dodges them all except one. She flies backwards and hits a garbage can. The demon makes a fireball. Patience looks over her shoulder and sees a mirror. He throws the fireball at her. She grabs the mirror and reflects it. The fireball hits the demon. He bursts into flames as well.) Wow! It worked. (She gets up and two demons have electricity in their hands. She looks from one to the other and shrugs. The demons throw the electricity as she shimmers out and they both explode. The leader demon gets up and starts limping away. Patience shimmers right in front of him with an energy ball.) You didn't think I forgot about you, did you? (She throws the energy ball at him and he turns to dust. She turns around and grabs a notepad and pen out of her jacket. The names of demons are crossed out except for one, the torment gang.) Torment gang, check. (She crosses it out.) I think I'll call it a day. (She shimmers out but she didn't get all the demons. A demon steps out. He is in a human form with red markings on his face. He picks up the knife used to kill his gang and shimmers out.)
Cut to: [Underground layer.]
(The demon shimmers in and kneels. He gets up and looks at the Source.)
Source: How many?
Warren: Ten. (He looks pissed. He starts yelling.) That bitch killed ten of my men. It was just one witch. How could she kill ten demons on her own? (He throws the knife to the side and the Ora catches it. She walks slowly towards him, her eyes pure white.)
Ora: She is a very powerful witch. No, not just a witch. (She pauses and reaches for her crystal ball. She waves her hand over it and Patience appears in it fighting different demons. Her eyes return to normal.) She is not only the daughter of Phoebe Halliwell but she is also the daughter of a very powerful demon...named Cole Turner.
Source: What? He's back? But how?
Ora: The same reason you're here. He was a former Source and the spell brought him back, just as it has you and us.
Source: Can we send him back with a reversal spell?
Ora: We fear that if we send him back you would also parish with him. The only way we can send him back is to kill him.
Source: We don't need to do it now. We can wait awhile.
Warren: Hey! What about my witch? I want her dead.
Source: We can't kill her. I want her on my side. With that power we would be invincible. But I can help you get your revenge. This girl is staying with the Charmed Ones. If you can get just one, that should serve you justice. (The Ora waves her hand and it shows a picture of Phoebe.) Don't kill this one. If you want you can torture her but she's the mother of Patience and I can't kill her. (The Ora waves her hand again and Paige appears.) This one you can kill. I'm sure you'll want to make her feel as much pain as you can first. But you might want to recruit some more demons. (Warren smiles. He shimmers out.) Make sure he does his job right. If he fails, I'll make sure he knows the meaning of torment. (The Ora bows and shimmers out. The Source lifts his hood down. His scar is starting to disappear and his face is rebuilding.) Soon, I'll have all the power I'll ever need.
Opening Credits
[Scene: Manor. Living room. Night time.]
(The manor is completely dark. Everything is quiet. Patience shimmers in and looks around. She smirks and assumes that everyone is asleep. She makes her way quietly towards the stairs. Just as she steps on the first step the lights go on. She stops and turns around slowly. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige are all standing by the front door. She knows she's in trouble.)
Piper: Hi. (Patience waves.)
Paige: Going for a little stroll?
Patience: I can explain.
Phoebe: Oh, I really want to hear this. (She looks mad and crosses her arms.)
Patience: Listen, it wasn't like I was out drinking or going out with a guy.
Phoebe: Where were you, Patience? (Patience tries to avoid her eyes.) Well?
Patience: I was... fighting demons. (She wishes she never said that. Phoebe explodes.)
Phoebe: WHAT?
Patience: I thought you wouldn't mind. I was just making life safer for you. (Phoebe puts her head in her hands.)
Piper: Patience, I know you want to protect us but that doesn't mean you have to go looking for demons to vanquish.
Paige: How many did you get this time?
Phoebe: You've done this before? (She looks at Piper and Paige.) You two knew about this?
Paige: We thought it'd be better if you didn't know.
Piper: How many?
Patience: Well, the torment gang was the only demons I went after tonight so I would say... nine or ten at once? (Phoebe shakes her head.) What? Sometimes I go up against as many as twenty. I think I'm going to call it a night. (She starts heading upstairs
Piper: Not so fast. (Patience turns around.) Since when do you live here?
Patience: Uh, I was gonna ask you. Is it ok if I sleep in the attic? I haven't talked to dad about sleeping at his place because I thought it might be a little weird for him.
Phoebe: What about me? (Piper and Paige look at her.) Fine.
Patience: Thanks. (She runs upstairs.)
Paige: I hope she asks Cole soon. You gotta admit though, ten demons at once?
Phoebe: I don't know who she gets that from. She probably spends most of her time training. I think I'm going to spend the day with her tomorrow.
Piper: Well, I'm going back to bed. (Someone knocks at the door.) Or I'll answer the door. (She opens the door. Darryl is standing outside. He looks upset.) Darryl. What are you doing her?
Darryl: Can I come in?
Piper: Yeah, sure. (He walks in and Piper closes the door behind him.) I'm guessing this isn't a social call. What's going on?
Darryl: I didn't believe it myself at first, but the San Francisco Law Firm hired a new D.A. Who do you think it is? (Phoebe sighs.) Cole Turner. I thought you guys vanquished him.
Paige: We thought we did, too. But he's back and we can't do much about it.
Darryl: That's not all. It seems that he's been hanging around a girl about fifteen. She's been helping him at the office and running errands. I've been following her around and tonight she was being chased by a gang. When I found her, she disappeared into thin air. I thought you might know something. Do you?
Phoebe: She's a relative.
Darryl: There's something you're not telling me, Phoebe. Now I'm not going to badger you about this, but if this is something like Chris and she gets caught doing something I'm not covering for her.
Piper: Is that all?
Darryl: No, one last thing. I got a job offer in New York City. I thought I'd take it. I'm moving away.
Paige: But why?
Darryl: (loudly.) So I can get away from all this magic. I'm sick of all these demons and always covering for you, but most of all, I'm sick of being caught up in your stupid problems. And now I can finally get away from all this crap. I can live a normal life.
Piper: You think we like this, Darryl? All we ever do is chase after demons. We never get a chance to live a normal life, at least not as much as you do.
Darryl: Well, I just wanted to let you know. We leave in a couple of days. (He heads towards the door and opens it.)
Piper: Darryl, Wait. (He stops and turns around.)
Darryl: My name is Inspector Morris. (He slams the door behind him.)
Paige: Nice little chat there. Well, I'm going to bed.
Phoebe: Me, too. (Piper just stands there. Phoebe looks at her.) You ok?
Piper: Yeah, I'm fine. I'll be up in a little bit. Good night.
Phoebe: Night. (She walks upstairs. Piper goes over to the fireplace. She grabs a picture of Darryl and the sisters together off of it. She sighs and starts to cry.)
Piper: What ever happen to us, we have to fix it. (She puts the picture back and goes upstairs.)
Cut to: [Attic.]
(Patience is getting ready for bed. She takes a blanket and lies on the couch. She yawns and closes her eyes. Cole shimmers in. He walks up to her and makes an energy ball. He throws it at her but she stops it with her hand.)
Patience: I'm too tired to do this. Leave me alone.
Cole: I didn't think you could sense me.
Patience: Well, I just don't get my powers from Phoebe. (She sits up.) Did you find out anything from the underworld?
Cole: The Source is back already, and the worst part is he's taken the oath. (Patience sighs.) He's back in power.
Patience: I saw that one coming. Anything else?
Cole: No. Why are you so interested in what's going on down there?
Patience: I need to do everything I can to keep the world from going to hell, and if that means going under for awhile, then so be it.
Cole: Well, I wish you the best of luck. (He starts to leave but Patience stops him.)
Patience: Dad. (He turns around.) Sorry. You probably don't like that. I was just wondering if, I feel weird asking you this but... (She rethinks her question.) can I stay at your penthouse?
Cole: Yeah, sure. I just need a day to get ready. (Patience looks down.) That's not the question you were going to ask me, was it?
Patience: Yeah, but I can't ask it now. I have to wait. Well, good night.
Cole: I'll see you later. (He shimmers out. Patience goes back to bed. Just as she falls asleep, the alarm clock goes off. It's 6:00 a.m. She groans and covers her head with the blanket.)
Patience: This isn't happening.
Cut to: [Kitchen.]
(Phoebe is making breakfast and Patience comes downstairs the clothes she was wearing last night. Phoebe turns around and smiles.)
Phoebe: Morning, sunshine. How did you sleep? (Patience groans.) Guess not too well since you were chasing demons. (She hands Patience some eggs and bacon.) Here you go.
Patience: You don't cook.
Phoebe: I know the basics.
Patience: Yeah, right. So why are you so cheery?
Phoebe: Why do you ask?
Patience: Well, last night you were all moody and bitchy.
Phoebe: That's because I was worried. That's what moms do. Eat up. (Patience eats some eggs and coughs.)
Patience: It's good, really good. So, don't you work today? (She starts drinking the coffee.)
Phoebe: I took the day off. I thought I'd spend it with you. (Patience stops drinking her coffee and looks up at her. She's surprised.) Something wrong with the coffee?
Patience: No, no, nothing. It's just... you're usually too busy to spend time with me.
Phoebe: Well, here's my chance to make up for it. What do you say? (Patience smiles.)
Patience: Yeah, that would be nice. (Phoebe smiles back.) When do you wanna leave?
Cut to: [Police Station.]
(Piper walks in the station. She looks around for Darryl and spots him coming out of the chief's office. She walks up to him.)
Darryl: What are you doing here?
Piper: Can't I come see my friend?
Darryl: We're not friends. I'm a cop, you're a... civilian. Now if you don't mind, I have transfer forms to fill out. (He starts walking away.)
Piper: Actually, (Darryl turns around and she freezes the place.) I do mind. (She walks up to him and unfreezes him.) Let's talk.
Darryl: Are you out of your mind? You just froze the whole place. What if someone walks in?
Piper: I'll take my chances. What is up with you? You go around ignoring your friends and family and you act like we don't even exist. It's like you don't care about us.
Darryl: I don't want to get involved with anymore of your problems, especially all the demons. Please just leave me alone.
Piper: I won't leave you alone, Darryl. You're my friend, pretty much the only friend I could talk to about my problems.
Darryl: Not anymore. Now please unfreeze the station. (She gets back into position and unfreezes the place. He gets a call on the radio.) Inspector Morris... Alright, I'll be there in 15 minutes. There's been a gang attack again. (He gets his jacket. He heads toward the door but stops. He looks at Piper.) You better come with me. It might be something like last night. (Piper follows him out the station.)
Cut to: [Alley.]
(A witch is thrown against a wall. She is being strangled by a demon. She tries to break free.)
Demon 1: Where are they? (He throws her against a dumpster.) Where are the Charmed Ones?
Witch: I... don't... know. (She tries to catch here breath.)
Demon 1: You're lying. (He grabs her by the neck and starts to strangle her again.) I was planning to kill them so I could be recruited. Guess I'll just have to kill you instead.
Piper: Why not just go for your target. (The demon turns around and Piper and Darryl are standing there.) Maybe I'll just make you a target. (She blows him up. The witch falls on the ground. She is unconscious. Piper goes over to her.) She's fine.
Darryl: So all these gangs were just groups of demons. But how do they disappear? (Suddenly a portal opens in the wall. It sucks them in.)
Cut to: [Underworld. Cave.]
(The portal opens up and Piper, Darryl, and the witch fly out of it.)
Piper: That's how.
Darryl: Where are we?
Piper: Leo! (Nothing happens.) Leo! (She waits but nothing happens.)
Darryl: Why isn't he answering?
Piper: Either he's ignoring me or we're somewhere he can't hear us, and that place is...
Demon 2: Hey. (Piper and Darryl turn around. A group of demons are standing behind them. They are surrounded. Piper tries to freeze them but they don't freeze. Darryl makes a move for his gun but Piper stops him.)
Piper: Don't.
Demon 2: Who are you? How did you get here?
Demon 3: Maybe the other guy sent them through the portal, as prisoners. (The demon thinks for a while. He moves his hand and chains and ropes appear.)
Demon 2: Bind them.
Darryl: What now? (Piper backs up. The demons move in on them and start to bind them. One demon ties the witch's hands together and starts to carry her away. Another demon chains Darryl up. Piper tries to stay calm. They chain her feet and her hands behind her back. They take them away.)
Cut to: [Manor. Hallway. Noon.]
(Paige walks in the house.)
Paige: Hello? I'm back from the club. (She sees two notes on the table. She picks them up and reads the first note.) Phoebe, I went to the police station to talk to Darryl. I need to run some errands later. Please watch Wyatt and Chris. Piper. (She reads the second note.) Paige, gone with Patience. Please watch Wyatt and Chris for me. Phoebe. Typical. She goes upstairs to check on Wyatt and Chris.)
Cut to: [Baby room.]
(Paige walks in and smiles. Leo is fast asleep in a chair with Wyatt and Chris in his arms. Paige walks over to them and puts them in their cribs. They are both asleep.)
Paige: You two must be too much for your daddy. (She walks to Leo and taps him on the shoulder. He wakes up.) Have a nice sleep?
Leo: Paige, where did you come from?
Paige: The club. I just finished setting up for the DJ. I decided to come home and check on the boys.
Leo: Phoebe's suppose to be taking care of them.
Paige: Yeah. (She gives him Phoebe's note.) Apparently, she's out with Patience.
Leo: That's a surprise.
Paige: I think her motherly side is starting to appear. She even took the day off, which is more then I can say for myself. I don't even have a job to take a break from.
Leo: Hey, you have a job, saving the world. You'll find a job soon. Till then, you can work at P3 and be a full-time witch. (Paige smiles. Leo hears the elders call.) I got to go. Can you handle those two?
Paige: I think I'll manage. (He orbs out.)
Cut to: [Restaurant.]
(Patience and Phoebe are laughing having lunch.)
Patience: So let me get this straight. You were turned into a mermaid and you had to do an interview in the bathtub?
Phoebe: Well, I couldn't really do it as a big fish, and that's not the worst thing. I was turned into a banshee.
Patience: You were what? Man that must have sucked.
Phoebe: Yeah, I almost tore you're dad's head off.
Patience: You know what would have been cool? To be able to make things appear out of nowhere.
Phoebe: The only way you can do that is if you kill a witch with that power or if we summon the woogie man. (Patience smiles.)
Patience: I don't want to relive that experience.
Phoebe: You were possessed by the woogie man?
Patience: Yeah, it was awful. I mean, the powers were cool and the feeling was incredible, having all that power. The downside was that I almost killed everyone in the house. Otherwise, it wasn't too bad. (Phoebe smiles.)
Phoebe: I know that feeling. We have so much in common. Anyone could see that we're related.
Patience: Except the fact that you're so stubborn.
Phoebe: Excuse me. I think you're just as.
Patience: Am not.
Phoebe: Am too. (They start laughing.) Hey, I bought you something. (She pulls out a bracelet. She hands it to Patience.) It has the triquetra on it. It stands for the power of three. (She looks at it and puts it on.)
Patience: Thanks. I love it. (They start laughing again when Jason sees them. He goes up to them.)
Jason: Excuse me. May I join you? (Phoebe turns around and looks surprised.)
Phoebe: Uh, (She looks at Patience. Her eyes are wide open.) Sure. Why not? (He sits next to Patience.) Patience, this is Jason Dean. Jason, this is Patience. She's my...
Patience: Cousin. I'm her cousin.
Jason: Yeah, I bet.
Patience: Sorry, I didn't catch that.
Jason: Nice to meet you.
Patience: Yeah, I bet.
Jason: What?
Patience: Nice to meet you, too. (She gives Phoebe a funny look.)
Jason: How you doing?
Phoebe: Oh, I'm fine. And you?
Jason: Good. Correct me if I'm wrong but, aren't you suppose to be working today?
Phoebe: I took the day off. I thought I could show my cousin San Francisco.
Jason: That's nice. So, uh...
Patience: Patience.
Jason: Yeah, is this your first time here?
Patience: No, I was born here. (Phoebe looks at her funny.) But after I was born, I moved away so I really didn't grow up here.
Jason: Too bad. This is a nice town to grow up in, lots of surprises. (He looks at Phoebe.) Sometimes you get surprises you could never imagine.
Patience: So, Mr. Dean, what relation do you have with my cousin? (Phoebe chokes on her coffee.) You ok?
Phoebe: Yeah, I'm fine.
Jason: We use to go out.
Patience: As in you went out on a business trip, (She looks worried.) or you went out as a couple?
Phoebe: Yeah, door number two.
Jason: Yeah, those were the good days. In fact, I want to ask Phoebe a question. Do you mind?
Patience: I'm sure she'll answer.
Jason: I meant you. Would you mind if you gave us a few minutes? (She doesn't like it but Phoebe shakes her head.)
Phoebe: Please, Patience?
Patience: Sure. (She gets up and shakes Jason's hand.) It was nice meeting you, Mr. Dean.
Jason: Yeah, you, too. (She leaves with a sour look on her face. Jason turns to Phoebe for an explanation.) Cousins, don't you just love them?
Phoebe: Hmm. Sorry. Her parents have to leave her here a lot so she kind of looks at me as a... second mother. She gets really protective. (Jason looks like he's buying it.) So, you wanted to talk to me about something?
Jason: Yeah, I just wanted to get you alone.
Cut to: [Bathroom.]
(Patience walks in and looks around to make sure there's no one there. She shimmers out.)
Cut to: [Restaurant. Phoebe's table.]
Jason: Let me ask you something, and be honest. (Patience shimmers underneath the table. She listens in on Phoebe and Jason's conversation. They have no idea she's there.) Did we actually have something?
Phoebe: I don't know. Was that before or after you left me?
Jason: Before you let your little secret out.
Phoebe: Jason, there was a reason I didn't tell you I wasn't a witch. I thought you weren't ready to hear the truth about my family. I didn't think you would accept the fact that I had powers, and obviously you weren't ready.
Jason: You don't think I wasn't?
Phoebe: You ran out of the house without even letting me explain myself and then you ran to Europe.
Jason: Well, you went crazy and ruined my party and then you kidnapped me and nearly got me killed.
Phoebe: I did save your life if you didn't notice. (Patience smiles.)
Patience: (Whisper.) The way this is going, he'll go stomping out of here and she'll never want to see his face again. (Phoebe grabs his hand and smiles.)
Phoebe: Hey, let's not argue. (She sighs.) I've been waiting for you to come off that plane for a long, long time.
Patience: (Whisper.) What?
Jason: Really?
Phoebe: Yes. I've wanted to see you're face for a long time. I'm willing to give us a second chance.
Patience: No! (She covers her mouth and realizes that she said that too loud. Phoebe looks around.
Jason: I want to give it another try, too. Who knows, maybe we'll be more than a couple.
Patience: (Under her breath.) Yuck!
Jason: Well, I better go. Here, (He grabs some money out of his pocket and sets it on the table.) this one's on me. See you. (He kisses her.)
Phoebe: Bye. (She waves. He leaves.) Hmm. That was nice for a change. So, (She bends down and lifts the table cloth up and sees Patience.) how's the weather down there?
Patience: You wouldn't believe how much money people drop underneath their tables. (She gets up and sits on a chair. She gives Phoebe a disgusted look.)
Phoebe: What do you think of Jason?
Patience: For starters, I can't believe you went out with the pig. He should be put in front of a firing squad. Then on top of it, he dumps you because you're a witch.
Phoebe: He had a right.
Patience: He's pretty hot. Too bad he's an ass...
Phoebe: (Interrupting.) Hey, watch your mouth.
Patience: I'm just glad he's not my father.
Phoebe: He's probably better than Cole.
Patience: Let's not take the chance, ok?
Phoebe: Wait a minute. What did you just say? (She realizes she shouldn't have said that.)
Patience: I said... Let's go buy some more pants.
Phoebe: Oh, no you didn't. Can you actually have the same kid if you have another spouse?
Patience: No, of course not. It would mess things up.
Phoebe: But you would still be you, right?
Patience: No, I wouldn't have any of dad's powers.
Phoebe: And that's a bad thing?
Patience: No, I just wouldn't be able to save everyone here and I wouldn't be able to help you kill the Source, that's all.
Phoebe: It's my decision and I'll do what ever I want.
Patience: But...
Phoebe: No buts, I'm going to go out with Jason and see how it works out. (She gets up to leave.) You want a ride home?
Patience: I can get home myself. (She gets up and goes to the bathroom. Phoebe follows her.)
Cut to: [Bathroom.]
Phoebe: Patience, wait. (She doesn't look back.) Would you stop?
Patience: No, you're about to ruin your and Cole's life, not to mention mine.
Phoebe: I want to really try this.
Patience: You do whatever the hell you want, but don't be surprised if it blows up in your face. (Patience turns around.)
Phoebe: Patience, wait. (But she doesn't stop. She shimmers out. Phoebe sighs.) I hope my other sisters are having a better day then me.
Cut to: [Warren's Lair.]
Demon 2: We brought you something.
Warren: Is it the Charmed Ones?
Demon 2: Well, no, but I think you'll be happy about it. (The gang of demons bring in Piper and Darryl. They make them kneel down.) Prisoners.
Warren: Hmm. Prisoners. (The demon nods.) I like prisoners. (He goes up to Darryl. He looks at him.) This one looks like he'll be able to handle a little torture. (He sees Piper. He goes to her and puts his hand on her face. He lifts her head up.) I like her. She will last a while. She's a keeper. (Piper shakes his hand off her.) A little feisty, isn't she? Where are the recruitments?
Piper: You're looking at them. (Warren looks at them.)
Darryl: (Whispering to her.) What are you doing?
Piper: (Whispering.) Just follow my lead.
Warren: You? Well, I suppose you would make good demons. What makes you think I can trust you?
Piper: I'm loyal and powerful. (Warren thinks for a while.)
Warren: Prove it. (He snaps his fingers. Demon 3 comes in.)
Demon 3: Yes, sir?
Warren: Bring the other prisoner. (He runs off. Warren turns to Darryl.) We'll see how loyal you are. (The demons bring in the witch. She's really beat up, bloody lips, black eyes, cut forehead, and her side is bleeding. Warren unties Darryl.) Kill her.
Darryl: I don't have any powers.
Warren: I don't care. Break her neck, rip out her heart, beat her to death, just kill her. (Darryl looks at her. She starts sobbing.)
Witch: Please, just kill me.
Darryl: I can't.
Warren: I thought so. (He snaps his fingers and ropes tie around his hands.) You'll wish you've killed her. (He claps his hands and a noose appears.) Lynch him. (The demons pull him over. He turns over to Piper.) If you don't want to end up like your friend, I suggest you make her bleed. (Piper looks over to the witch and then looks over to Darryl. They're putting the noose on him and tightening it to fit his neck. They get ready to pull him up.) Well?
Piper: I can do something better.
Warren: Really? Aren't you going to tell me? (Piper hesitates. He turns around and points to the demon. The demon pulls Darryl up. He starts to choke. Piper covers her mouth.) Man he kicks his feet fast.
Piper: I can get you a Charmed One. (She has his attention.)
Warren: You can get me a Charmed One?
Piper: If you let him go. (Warren thinks about it. He signals to let Darryl down. The demon drops the rope and Darryl hits the ground. He coughs as they remove the noose.)
Warren: I'll show you which one. (He waves his hand and a glass ball appears. It shows Paige moving around the manor.) I want her. She has a sister. (He waves his hand again and Phoebe and Patience appear.) If you want you can bring them with you. Now go. (Piper stands there.) What's wrong?
Piper: I can't shimmer. I just freeze and blow up things.
Warren: That's ok. (He pulls out a glowing ball.) This is Power Broker Ball. (He throws it at Piper and she gasps.) It shouldn't have any effect on you except you'll be able to shimmer now. Try it. (She shimmers out and back in.) You're a natural. Now bring me back Paige, and if you fail I'll kill your friend and then I'll kill you. (She shimmers out.) I hope that extra power comes in handy for her. (He looks at Darryl. He tries to catch his breath.) I know that you're a human. It must suck to know witches. Maybe you can make yourself useful. (He throws a power at him, too. Darryl gets up and throws a fireball at the witch. She disintegrates.) If she has some troubles, give her a hand. (He shimmers out.)
Cut to: [Manor. Hallway.]
(Phoebe walks in. She looks upset. Paige comes down the stairs.)
Paige: Hey, did you forget about your godchild?
Phoebe: Damn it, Paige. I don't really need this right now. (She looks at Paige.) I'm sorry. I'm just really pissed off.
Paige: What happened?
Phoebe: It's Patience. I thought I'd take her out for lunch and shopping so we could get to know each other better. We had a really good time.
Paige: Until...
Phoebe: Until Jason showed up at the restaurant. Patience kind of was threatened by him so when she went into the bathroom she shimmered underneath the table to listen in on our conversation. He asked me if we could ever be more than just a couple.
Paige: He didn't even ask about being friends? What did you say?
Phoebe: I said maybe. I really want to go out with him and I don't see anything wrong with it.
Paige: Except for the fact that you have Cole's daughter.
Phoebe: Yeah, I know. Patience got really pissed off. Then she shared some interesting info with me. She said that she could possibly be born as Jason's kid. The only difference is that she wouldn't have any of her powers except premonitions. We got into a huge fight and she shimmered out. So how was your day?
Paige: Great. The boys slept all day, including Leo.
Phoebe: I'm sorry. I'm Chris's godmother. I need to be a better godmother before I can be a mom.
Paige: Want some coffee?
Phoebe: Make it a beer. (She goes in the living room and touches the picture of her, Paige, Piper, and Darryl. She gets a premonition. Darryl is killing a witch. He shimmers into the living room and starts throwing fireballs at the girls. The premonition ends. Phoebe looks scared.) Paige? (Paige walks into the living room.) I saw Darryl. He killed a witch and he's coming to kill us.
Fade out.
Cut to: [Kitchen.]
(A pot explodes. Phoebe stirs the potion up. Paige looks for some vials.)
Paige: Are you sure it was Darryl? Maybe it was someone else.
Phoebe: No, it was him. He was throwing fireballs. I just hope this stripping potion works. (Patience shimmers in. She looks upset.) You done seething?
Patience: I'm here to vanquish demons. It seems that the torment gang isn't dead. They're looking for me.
Phoebe: And you want us to help you?
Patience: Look, I'm sorry. I just want my dad to be Cole. (Phoebe ignores her.) Have you seen Piper lately?
Paige: She went to talk to Darryl, why?
Phoebe: Leo! (He orbs in.) Where's Piper? (He tries to sense her.) Leo?
Leo: I can't sense her.
Patience: My guess is that gang has her. (She notices the potion.) What's with the potion?
Paige: Phoebe saw Darryl killing us with fireballs.
Patience: But he's a human. Unless... (She shimmers out.)
Phoebe: Remind me to bind her powers. (Paige fills a vile with the potion and hands it to Phoebe.) Let's go. (They walk into the living room. Darryl shimmers in.)
Darryl: You're all under arrest. (He throws a fireball at them.)
Leo: Watch out! (He jumps in front of it hits the ground. He's unconscious.)
Paige: Throw the potion. (Phoebe throws it at him.) You all right, Darryl? (He makes a fireball.) Uh-oh.
Darryl: Never felt better, or should I say evil.
Phoebe: Run! (He throws a fireball at them. They dodge behind a couch.) Why didn't it work?
Paige: I don't know. (He throws another fireball and it hits the couch. It starts on fire.) You go left, I'll go right. Ready? Go! (They run away. Phoebe grabs a vase. Darryl throws a fireball and it hits Paige. She hits the wall and gets knocked out. Phoebe hits Darryl over the head and knocks him out. She runs over to Paige.)
Phoebe: Paige. (She tries to wake her up. She feels for a pulse. She runs over to Leo and wakes him up.) Leo, wake up. You need to heel Paige. (He gets up and makes his way towards Paige. Piper shimmers in.)
Leo: Piper? (She throws a fireball at Leo and he goes flying back. She picks up Paige.)
Phoebe: Piper, are you crazy?
Piper: No, I'm just trying to save a friend. (She shimmers out.)
Fade out.
Cut to: [Hallway.]
(Darryl is tied up. Phoebe is walking around him.)
Phoebe: What's going on, Darryl?
Darryl: Screw you, witch. (Phoebe shakes her head. She goes to Leo.)
Phoebe: He isn't going to say anything. This is perfect. My daughter hates me and my best friend is trying to kill me. On top of that, one of my sisters is hurt badly and the other just kidnapped her.
Leo: Did you try the potion again?
Phoebe: I even tried the stripping potion and it still didn't work. (Patience shimmers in.) What are you doing here?
Patience: I thought you could use some help. Cole! (Cole shimmers in with a demon.)
Phoebe: What the hell is that?
Patience: It's a Power Broker.
Phoebe: I meant the thing holding him.
Cole: Take it out. (The Power Broker goes over to Darryl. He removes the Power Broker Ball from Darryl. Darryl looks confused.)
Power Broker: Can I go?
Patience: No, we might need you again. Dad, will you take care of him? I'll call you if I need him again.
Cole: I got a nice spot for him in my penthouse. See you later, Phoebe. (He shimmers out.)
Phoebe: Ok, what's going on?
Patience: Ask him.
Darryl: Piper came to the police station. I got a call for an attack. We went over there and a demon was strangling a witch and Piper blew him up. Then we got sucked into a portal and a gang of demons captured us. They started torturing us.
Patience: The torment gang. (She shimmers out and back in with the Book of Shadows.) Here it is. The torment gang. Known for torturing their victims. The leader, Warren, has been around for hundreds of years. Witches powers don't work on him.
Darryl: That's him. Piper made a deal with him in exchange for me. She said that she could get a Charmed One. Then he threw a glowing ball at her and she shimmered out. Then he threw one at me.
Phoebe: I'm sure she was going to give herself up. The powers must have turned her evil.
Leo: She hasn't killed anyone yet. We need to find her. Can you tell us how you got there?
Darryl: Go to 53rd street. First alley.
Patience: Hold on. (She grabs Phoebe's arm and they both shimmer out.)
Cut to: [Warren's Lair.]
(Piper cracks a whip. The camera rotates to show Paige's back. She has lash marks on her back.)
Piper: You know what? I didn't realize how much fun this is. (She whips Paige again. She tries not to scream.) Torturing your enemies makes you happy. You should try it.
Paige: (Panting in pain.) Piper, it's that demon. He has you under a spell. He's trying to control you. (Piper whips her and she screams.) Ah.
Warren: I didn't think you would figure it out. (Piper continues to whip her and she screams.)
Paige: Ah!
Warren: You have that other witch to thank. I think her name is Patience. (Piper whips her again.)
Paige: Ah!
Warren: She killed my men, and now I'm taking my revenge out on you. (Piper whips her again. Paige starts to cry.) I'm sick of this. Rack her.
Piper: Anything for you, baby. (They kiss each other.)
Cut to: [Alley. Nighttime.]
(Patience and Phoebe shimmer in.)
Patience: It should be here somewhere.
Phoebe: We got to find them or Paige is dead. (She starts feeling around.) Patience, are you ok?
Patience: Yeah, I'm fine. I don't care who you go out with.
Phoebe: Yeah you do. I love Cole, but I don't trust him. I trust Jason.
Patience: Just follow your own advice. Follow your heart. (Phoebe smiles. She feels around and a portal opens. She falls through it and screams.)
Phoebe: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Patience: You just had to jump in. (She jumps into the portal and it disappears.)
Cut to: [Cave.]
(The portal opens and Phoebe and Patience fall out.)
Phoebe: This must be the place. (A group of demons appear.) And that must be the welcoming committee.
Patience: Here. (She hands her an athame.) You might need this. (She starts throwing energy balls and Phoebe starts stabbing demons.)
Cut to: [Warren's Lair.]
(Demons carry Paige over to the rack and place her on it. She is too weak to fight them. They chain her hands and ankles and tighten the chains. Piper walks up to her and brushes her hand against her head. She sees that she is panting.)
Piper: Don't worry so much. This will only hurt a lot. (She goes to the wheel and starts turning it slowly. The chains tighten. Paige's limbs start to stretch. Piper continues to turn the wheel. Paige starts to scream. Piper smiles.)
Paige: Ah! Piper, stop... please. Ah!
Warren: She won't stop. She's enjoying it.
Paige: Piper, it's me, Paige, your sister.
Warren: She's your sister?
Piper: That makes it better. (Warren smiles. Paige's shoulders finally pop out and she screams.)
Paige: Ah! (Piper continues to turn the wheel but then she gets hit by an energy ball. Warren turns around.)
Phoebe: Get away from her.
Warren: You're the one the Source wants.
Phoebe: You get my sisters. (Patience goes over to the rack and starts turning the wheel back. The chains loosen. Warren starts at her but Phoebe punches him. He flies back and she starts beating the crap out of him. Meanwhile, Piper gets up and tackles Patience. They hit the ground and Patience kicks Piper off. Patience gets up. Piper stands ready to attack.)
Patience: Piper, I really don't wanna hurt you. I'm not suppose to harm you. (Piper rushes toward her but Patience hits her with an energy ball. She's out cold.) That doesn't mean I won't. (Phoebe is still punching Warren.) She's still mad at me.
Phoebe: You stupid son of a bitch. You went and pissed off the wrong witch. (She grabs the athame and stabs him. She gets up and he shimmers out. She runs over to Paige.) Cole! (Cole shimmers in with the Power Broker.) Get those powers out of Piper. (He walks over to her and removes the power. He shimmers out and Piper wakes up. She looks around and sees Paige.)
Piper: Oh my God. (She runs over to her. Phoebe and Patience are taking the chains off.) Paige, Paige, are you ok? Oh God, I'm so sorry.
Patience: We need to get her up to Leo. She'll live but she needs healing. (Phoebe looks at Cole.)
Cole: I'll help you up. (He grabs Piper and Paige and shimmers out. Patience looks at Phoebe.)
Phoebe: What?
Patience: Your anger wasn't from Warren, it was from me and dad. (Phoebe knows that she's right. Patience grabs Phoebe and follows Cole.)
Cut to: [Source's Lair.]
Source: You failed.
Warren: Those witches are strong, one is half-demon. Give me another try. I'll kill them all.
Source: You used a Charmed One to get another. You should have known that. You are too reckless.
Warren: Forgive me.
Source: That's just it. (He throws a fireball at Warren and he erupts in flames but he doesn't disintegrate. The Source waves his hand and a cage appears around him and he disappears.) He'll have the rest of eternity to think about how forgiving I am.
Cut to: [Manor. Paige's room.]
(Paige is laying on her bed moaning. Piper comes up with three icepacks.)
Piper: How you feeling?
Paige: Really sore. Why am I still sore?
Piper: Leo said that since I dislocated your shoulders there would still be some pain after he healed you. Here, lean forward. (She does so and Piper puts and icepack on her back. Then she puts the other two on her shoulders.)
Paige: Thanks.
Piper: I can't believe I did this to you.
Paige: It's ok. You were under a spell. You had no control. I've been there before.
Piper: Next time, I'll beat on Phoebe. (Paige laughs. The doorbell rings.) Get better, ok? (She kisses her forehead and heads downstairs.)
Cut to: [Hallway.]
(Piper comes walking in. The doorbell rings again.)
Piper: I'm coming. I'm coming. (She opens the door and it's Darryl.) Darryl. Just the man I wanted to see. You alright?
Darryl: Yeah, I'm fine. You?
Piper: I'm getting by. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Darryl: That's ok. It would have happened even if you weren't there. Only if you weren't there, I wouldn't be standing her right now. You've done so much for me in the past 7 years. You've saved my job, my family, and my life, not to mention you've taken me on kind of a rollercoaster ride. Today, you would've given up your life for me. I'm glad to know you. (Piper smiles and looks down. She grabs a vile out of her pocket.)
Piper: I've already given this to your wife. It's a forget potion. All those memories, the good and bad, the magical ones, this will erase them all. Ever since the day you found out about us being witches to being turned into a demon. All you have to do is drink it and all those awful memories will be gone.
Darryl: Then I wouldn't have all those good memories neither. (Piper understands and puts the potion back in her pocket.) I came here to say goodbye. I've already said it to everyone but you. I wanted to save the best and sweetest for last. (They hug each other.) Goodbye, Piper. (He turns around and leaves.)
Piper: Have a good life.
The End.
