The Dead Walk

[Scene: P3. After Midnight.]

(People are dancing. Rob Zombie is playing Living Dead Girl. Leo and Piper are preparing drinks and Paige is serving them. She walks up to Piper.)

Paige: I didn't think Rob Zombie would bring such a big crowd. I ran out of notepaper for orders.

Piper: Unfortunately, we're also running out of drinks. He sure doesn't charge much. We're going to make a lot of money off of this.

Leo: We're out of Captain Morgan.

Piper: There's some in the back. (He goes to get some more Captain Morgan.) And while you're back there, grab some more Black Velvet. So, have you talked to Richard yet?

Paige: No. He hasn't called yet. I really haven't had the guts to call him either. Maybe he'll try to steal me away at some unexpected moment. (Piper is looking straight ahead with eyes wide open. Paige turns around and sees Patience dancing with a guy.) Looks like I'm not the only one that will get stolen. (Piper runs over to Patience and freezes the place. Patience turns around.)

Patience: What did you do that for?

Piper: Maybe because my 16 year-old niece is dancing with a 25 year old guy in a nightclub that doesn't allow minors.

Patience: One, he's 21 and two, I can be in here as long as I don't drink alcohol, at least tonight anyways. (Paige walks up.)

Paige: Whoa, who's the hottie?

Patience: This is Brian. He works for a hospital as a doctor's assistant. Pretty cute for a geek.

Paige: I'd say.

Piper: I don't care if he's the president's son. What would your mother say about this?

Patience: She's to busy taking care of Chris. Could you just unfreeze him? I'll tell him I have to go home. (Piper unfreezes the place. Brian turns around and sees Piper and Paige.)

Brian: Who's this?

Patience: They're my cousins. Um, Brian, I have to go home. Call me. (She kisses him on the cheek and leaves. Piper follows her.) Don't worry. I'm going to dad's place.

Piper: That's what scares me.

Patience: If you need me, just call.

Piper: Wait, I need to talk to you about... (She shimmers out.) Phoebe.

Paige: Man, Piper. You're not even her mom but you act like it.

Piper: I just don't want Phoebe to get hurt again. We better get back to work. (She turns around and Brian is standing right there.) Can I help you?

Brian: I didn't mean to look like a creep. I really like Patience and I know she's younger than her. (Piper laughs.) I wouldn't hurt her but she said she was staying with you and I wanted to...

Paige: Get permission to date her?

Brian: You make it sound so easy.

Paige: We can give him a chance, can't we?

Piper: I suppose.

Brian: Thank you so much. I promise, I'll be true to her. (He leaves.)

Paige: At least he's cute.

Piper: I guess it's the first boyfriend she's had since she got here. She can have her fun.

Cut to: [Laboratory.]

(A man is looking over a dead body. He takes tissue from the body and puts it under the microscope. The Source shimmers in.)

Dr. Madison: I didn't think you made house calls, especially this late.

Source: I just wanted to make sure you're doing a good enough job. Have you found anything?

Dr. Madison: I'm still researching. I'll have to ask you to come back in the morning.

Source: I know that you are very advanced in this field. You'll do the best you can.

Dr. Madison: May I ask, what do you plan to do with my research?

Source: I'll share that information with you soon enough. But first, you must finish the research. (He shimmers out. Brian comes walking in.)

Brian: So, what are we doing tonight, Dr. Madison?

Opening Credits

[Scene: Wyatt and Chris's room.]

(Phoebe is singing a lullaby to Wyatt and Chris. They are just falling asleep. Jason walks in behind her and watches.)

Phoebe: I guess that wasn't so hard.

Jason: Are you kidding? (She turns around surprised.) You're a natural.

Phoebe: Just one of many talents. Want to see some more.

Jason: Maybe I can show you some of mine. (They kiss each other. Suddenly, they both levitate a couple inches of the ground for a couple of seconds. Phoebe pulls her lips away from his.) Is there something wrong? (They return to the floor.)

Phoebe: Uh, no. I was just thinking that I really should be watching Wyatt and Chris.

Jason: They're asleep. You're really good with children. You'll make a good mother.

Phoebe: You'll make a good father. Come on. (She leads him into her bedroom and closes the door behind them.)

Cut to: [EXT. Richard's House. Morning.]

(Paige knocks on Richard's door.)

Richard: Just a second. (He opens the door.) Paige. What are you doing here? It's six in the morning.

Paige: I know. I'm really sorry. I just wanted to talk to you.

Richard: Come in. (She does so and Richard closes the door. She sits down on the chair.) So, what's up?

Paige: I wanted to talk about your powers. I thought you said you drank the stripping potion.

Richard: Yeah. Um, I poured it down the sink. I couldn't do it then. I've had my powers my whole life and I just couldn't let them go.

Paige: Are they more important than your life?

Richard: You mean more than you? (Paige blushes.) Paige, I want this to work with us. I really love you. I want to spend my life with you. And if that means stripping my powers, then so be it. (She smiles.) What?

Paige: I know how hard it is to let go of something you've had all your life. (She kisses him. He picks her up and carries hers upstairs.)

Cut to: [Cole's Penthouse.]

(Patience is drinking coffee and reading the paper. Cole comes walking out of the bedroom buttoning his shirt.)

Cole: How was your night?

Patience: Good. (She takes a sip of coffee.)

Cole: You must have been out late. So, what are you going to do today? You want a job at the office?

Patience: No, that's ok.

Cole: Well, you're old enough to get one there. If you need it, just yell. (Patience is ignoring him. She has her complete attention on the front page article. It reads: BODIES DISAPPEAR AT SAN FRANCISCO MORGUE.) Patience, are you there?

Patience: Yeah, I'm just deep in thought. I think I'm going to go around town and search for a job. I'll see you later. (She gets up and hugs him.) Bye, dad.

Cole: See you, honey. (He goes to the elevator and pushes the button. He waves as the doors close. Patience thinks for a minute and then shimmers out.)

Cut to: [Upstairs Hallway.]

(Patience shimmers in and walks to Phoebe's bedroom. She opens the door and walks in.)

Patience: Hey, Phoebe, we have a... (She looks up and sees Phoebe in bed next to Jason. They're both naked.)...problem.

Jason: Yeah, you're right.

Phoebe: Patience! Get out now!

Patience: Oh my God. (She covers her eyes and closes the door. Phoebe gets up and puts on a housecoat. She goes out into the hallway.) I have one thing to say to you. (She covers her eyes and yells.) My eyes! My eyes!

Phoebe: What the hell are you doing?

Patience: I should ask you the same question. Did you even use a condom?

Phoebe: That is none of your business.

Patience: I think it is since my future is at stake.

Phoebe: You could've knocked.

Patience: Don't worry, I will from now on. In the mean time, you should look at this. (She shows her the paper.)

Phoebe: Bodies disappear at San Francisco Morgue. So what?

Patience: I think it's really important. It could be demons, maybe the Source.

Phoebe: I think you're paranoid. (She grabs the paper.) It's just a little... (She gasps. She sees them fighting a demon. A boy runs in and is clawed by the demon. He starts to transform into the demon.)

Patience: What did you see?

Phoebe: A boy turning into a monster.

Patience: We need to find Paige and Piper. Do you know where they are?

Cut to: [INT. Richard's House. Entrance.]

(Patience and Phoebe shimmer in. They run upstairs.)

Phoebe: Paige. Richard.

Patience: Are you sure she's here?

Phoebe: She said something about talking to Richard about something. (She opens a door and they're both naked in a bedroom. She closes the door.)

Patience: I guess they did more than talking. (Paige comes out with a long sweater on.)

Paige: Is this how you spend most of your mornings?

Patience: I didn't mean to.

Phoebe: She did it to me, too.

Paige: You and Jason? (Phoebe nods and Patience rolls her eyes.) Was it good?

Phoebe: It was incredible.

Patience: Ok, you can describe to each other how big they're dicks are later. We have business.

Phoebe: Before we do, can I use the bathroom?

Paige: You couldn't use the one at home?

Patience: We'll wait. (She goes off.)

Paige: So, what's this all about? (Patience shows her the paper.) Bodies disappear at San Francisco Morgue?

Patience: Phoebe touched it and had a premonition that a boy got attacked by a demon. I think it was Brian.

Paige: You mean the cutie you're going out with? But what does he have to do with this?

Patience: Remember when I said he was a doctor? Well, I failed to explain the specifics of his field. He works at the San Francisco Morgue, as a mortician.

Paige: You attract the weirdest guys.

Patience: All I know is we need to find Piper, fill her in and then watch Brian. I know he's in some kind of trouble. (Phoebe walks up.)

Phoebe: Ready?

Patience: First, we need to find Piper and then find the kid. Maybe you should go back home and find the demon in the book. I'll get you back there and me and Paige will look for Piper. Um, maybe you should apologize to Richard.

Paige: Gee, You think?

Cut to: [Lab.]

(Dr. Madison is filling up a syringe with blue fluid. He looks at the dead body and sticks the needle into the body. He gets ready to inject the fluid but is stopped by a voice.)

Brian: Dad? (He turns around and sees his son.) I brought the bodies.

Dr. Madison: Good. You can set the in the cooler with the others. Someone will be there to help you.

Brian: Um, not to be nosy or anything but why are we stealing dead bodies? There must be a hundred down there. What are we going to use them for? (Dr. Madison turns to him.)

Dr. Madison: I've been looking for a way to stop death for my whole life. This could be my chance. And if that means boosting a couple of bodies, so be it. (He goes to the dead body and straps it down. He injects it with the fluid and backs off. Nothing happens. He thinks he's failed again when suddenly the hand starts to move. They body opens its eyes and tries to break free. Dr. Madison fills the syringe with red fluid and injects the body with it. It goes still.) It finally worked.

Brian: Oh my God. That's wonderful!

Dr. Madison: Go put the bodies in the cooler, Brian. I have some people to call. (Brian does as his father asks. After he leaves, the Source appears.) I did it. I made it come back to life.

Source: You sure did. Now I need the bodies as soon as possible.

Dr. Madison: Before I give them to you, I have to give you some precautions. This blue fluid brings the dead to life. Now, if you're bitten or scratched or otherwise infected, this red fluid will protect you from becoming one of them. (He grabs a crystal.) This crystal controls them. If it is destroyed, they will be destroyed. (The Source tries to grab the crystal but he pulls it back.) I need to infect them first.

Source: If you want your wife back, then I suggest you hurry. (The Source shimmers out. Dr. Madison goes to the cooler. Brian is putting bodies in it.)

Dr. Madison: We're going to start the process now.

Cut to: [P3. Afternoon.]

(Paige and Patience orb in. They start to walk around.)

Paige: They should be here.

Piper: Whose there?

Patience: It's us. Paige and Patience. (Piper looks from behind the bar without anything on.) What is it with people and sex in the morning? (Leo pops up behind Piper. Patience covers her eyes.)

Paige: Man, you really have bad luck.

Piper: What's up?

Paige: We need to talk. Maybe you should put this on. (She throws Piper her shirt and pants. Piper and Leo start to get dressed.)

Piper: So, what demon are we looking for this time?

Patience: We're not sure yet. Phoebe touched this paper and saw a demon attacking Brian.

Piper: Your Brian?

Patience: Yeah. I think he's in trouble because the paper says that bodies were stolen at the morgue he works at.

Leo: He chops up bodies?

Piper: Nice boyfriend. Hey, honey. Sorry about the heart in your fridge but I had to keep it cool.

Patience: Yeah, very funny. Anyways, we have to find him and protect him.

Paige: Ok, let's go get Phoebe.

Patience: No, we'll let her look for the demon. She needs to take care of Wyatt and Chris anyways.

Piper: That's not the only reason, is it? (Patience tries to avoid her.) Patience?

Patience: She doesn't exactly know about my boyfriend and I really don't want to talk to her right now. Ok, let's go. (She leaves. Leo hears a jingle.)

Leo: I have to go. They're calling. (He kisses Piper and orbs out.)

Paige: Why doesn't she want Phoebe with us?

Piper: Probably because she's mad at Phoebe for going out with Richard.

Paige: I guess it doesn't really help much that they're doing it at home. (Piper gives her a "What?" look.) Never mind. Let's go find Brian.

Cut to: [Lab.]

(Dr. Madison is injecting a dead body.)

Dr. Madison: Last one.

Source: Where's the crystal? (Dr. Madison pulls out the crystal.)

Dr. Madison: When do I get to see my wife?

Source: Soon. We need to do a test run first. (He looks at the zombies. They are groaning.)

Cut to: [EXT. Morgue.]

(Piper, Paige and Patience drive up in a jeep. They get out.)

Piper: Are you sure this is where he's at?

Patience: Definitely. He took me her the other day. This is where his father works and he said if I need him to just come here.

Paige: It looks like a morgue. (They walk in. They start walking down the hallway.) I think we should get out of here. This place freaks me out.

Patience: Don't you have any spine. (A spider comes down and stops right in front of her face. She screams.) Ah. (It drops down and crawls down the hallway.)

Paige: Where's your spine?

Patience: I hate spiders. (They watch the spider go down the hallway and see a shadow around the corner. They wait for it to come to them. A lady walks around the corner. She has a lab coat on.) Maybe she knows Brian. Hey. (She runs towards the lady.)

Piper: Patience, wait. (Patience stops in front of him.)

Patience: Can you tell me where Brian Madison is? (The lady doesn't answer. Patience reaches to feel her forehead.) Are you alright? You look a little p... (But before she can finish the sentence, the lady bites her arm and Patience screams.) Argh. (She kicks the lady of her and Piper and Paige run towards her.) She bit me. That crazy bitch bit me. (The lady gets up. Piper tries to freeze her but it doesn't work. She tries again but she keeps coming. Patience throws a fireball at her head and she blows up.)

Paige: Do you know what you just did? That was an innocent.

Patience: She was a psychotic bitch. (She takes out a handkerchief and wraps it around her arm. Brian comes running around the corner.) Brian, we were just looking for you. (He sees her arm.) What's wrong? You look like you've just seen a ghost.

Brian: That's not the half of it. We have to get you to the lab. You've been...

Paige: Wait. Listen. (They here something being dragged on the floor. We see a pair of feet walking and a sword dragging on the floor. A zombie walks around the corner with a sword. As he turns, they see part of his face is eaten away. He raises his sword and walks towards the sisters.) What are those things?

Piper: They look like... zombies from Resident Evil.

Brian: We have to get to the lab. Follow me. (He turns to the way he came from but it's blocked by zombies coming down the hall.)

Piper: We can go back to the entrance. (She looks back and sees more zombies coming. They are completely surrounded.)

Patience: I can take them on. (She makes an energy ball. But before she can throw it, it disappears in her hand. She falls on her knees.)

Paige: Patience. What happened?

Patience: Something's wrong. I'm losing energy. (The demons start to close in on them. Patience grabs Brian and shimmers out with him.)

Piper: Where'd they go? (The zombie with the sword is right in front of them. He gets ready to swing when Paige orbs Piper out. The sword comes down on the exact spot they were just standing. The zombies retreat.)

Cut to: [Manor. Attic.]

(Paige and Piper orb in. They look around and see Patience kneeling on the floor. She's breathing hard. Brian is kneeling next to her.)

Brian: Patience, we should get you on the couch. (He lifts her onto the couch. He unties the handkerchief and inspects the wound.)

Piper: What were those things?

Paige: Screw that. I'd like to know why he's here. He probably set the trap.

Brian: One of you should get some bandages for her. We need to stop the bleeding before it starts clotting.

Paige: What did you say?

Brian: Please, I'll explain after we take care of her.

Piper: While you're at it, get Phoebe. (Paige goes downstairs.) You better not be lying to us. (Paige comes upstairs with Phoebe and bandages. She sees Patience and runs to her.)

Phoebe: What happened?

Piper: We ran into zombies. (Phoebe sees Brian.)

Phoebe: Who's that? Wait, you're the boy from my vision.

Brian: I'm Brian. Nice to meet you. (He shakes her hand.)

Paige: This is Patience's boyfriend. (Patience sighs. Phoebe looks mad.) Don't start. We need to ask him questions before you kill him.

Piper: What were those things and why did they attack?

Brian: I guess it'd come out someway or another. (He takes the bandages and starts cleaning Patience's wound. Then he wraps the bandages around it. He stands up and tells the story.) My dad's name is Dr. Ronald Madison. He and I are morticians. We created the zombies. It started when I was born I guess. My mother died when she gave birth to me. My father was so devastated that he became a mortician to find a way to destroy death. It was about a month ago that he met with this strange man. He always wore robs. Anyway, he and I started to still bodies from graveyards, morgues, you name it. He started looking for a cure in the bodies. He found one. It brought the dead back to life. But they were different. They didn't have feeling or emotion. It's almost as if they're...

Patience: Soulless. It sounds like the Source.

Brian: That's what he calls him, the Source. Dad told me that the blue fluid brought the dead back to life and that they had one purpose, to feed. Patience was bitten by one of them. In three hours... she'll be one of them.

Phoebe: How do we stop it?

Brian: We need to go back to the lab. There's an antidote. We also need to destroy the crystal that controls them. If we destroy it, we destroy them. You might want some weapons. The only way to kill them separately is to destroy the brain or spinal cord.

Paige: So basically shoot them in the head, break their necks and decapitate them.

Piper: What are we waiting for?

Phoebe: Cole! (Cole shimmers in.) Can you watch Patience? We need to kick some demon ass. Just make her comfortable.

Cole: What happened?

Phoebe: Sorry. No time to explain. (They all run out of the attic. Cole looks at Patience.)

Patience: Well don't look at me. I'm useless.

Cut to: [Lab.]

Dr. Madison: You didn't say they'd be in danger.

Source: You want your wife back, don't you?

Dr. Madison: Well, yeah, but not at the expense of another life. That girl will die if we don't find her.

Source: She won't die. The Charmed Ones will save her. You just make sure they make it to you. (He touches Dr. Madison. He gets an evil smirk on his face.) I know I can count on you. (He shimmers out.)

Cut to: [Morgue. Entrance.]

(Piper, Paige, Phoebe and Brian orb in.)

Piper: Alright. Weapon check. Brain? (He holds up a gun.) Paige? (She holds up a sword.) Phoebe? (She holds up a machine gun.) Maybe you should try this. (Piper hands her a sword. Then she holds up her sword.) Where's the antidote?

Brian: It's in the main lab about 5 floors underneath ground. (Phoebe looks at her watch. It is set for two and a half hours.)

Phoebe: We have two and a half hours to get it. Let's go. (They starts walking down the hallway when the doors and windows start to seal shut. They look around and the lights start to turn on. A speaker comes on.)

Dr. Madison: (o.s.) Welcome to my little fun house. I'm glad you could join us.

Brian: Dad?

Dr. Madison: (o.s.) Oh, Brian. I'm surprised you're here. We have lots of treats for you. (A screen comes down and a map of the morgue is shown.) This is a map of the morgue. As you see, you are on the main floor in the entrance. Those red dots are you and the white dots are my creatures. I'd say there's about a hundred. They are on all five basement floors. The main lab is on the last floor. You'll have to go through all floors to get to the antidote.

Paige: No problem. (She orbs out but she orbs back in.)

Piper: How come you can't orb?

Paige: I got blocked off by the floor.

Dr. Madison: My friend put charms on this place so you wouldn't cheat. You'll have to walk if you want the antidote. And in case you haven't noticed, your powers are useless against zombies. I made sure of that. Brian knows how to kill them. He should be of some use.

Phoebe: What is this, some kind of game?

Dr. Madison: I suppose you could call it that. If you get to my lab alive, you can have the antidote. If you don't, the zombies will be unleashed into San Francisco and the world. Time is ticking. Good luck, and don't let the zombies bite. Ha ha ha. (The speaker blows up.)

Brian: I know where there's an elevator. Follow me. (They do so.)

Cut to: [Floor B1.]

(An elevator door opens. They all walk out.)

Brian: This is as far as it goes. There's a set of stairs down this hallway. Then we'll get on a lift on B3 and take it down to B5. The lab is at the far end of the lab. (Zombies start walking towards them. They all start going after them and start to do everything they can to kill the creatures.)

Cut to: [Manor. Attic.]

(Cole brings a wet cloth and starts to wipe Patience's face. She's all white and is sweating like crazy. She is breathing even harder than before. She turns to Cole.)

Cole: You shouldn't move so much. There's no need for you to be more uncomfortable than you have to be.

Patience: You should get away from me. I might infect you.

Cole: You can't infect me until you're a zombie. And if that happens, I'll have to cut your head off. (Patience laughs.) Phoebe won't let it happen to you. Just hang in there.

Patience: I'll try.

Cole: Don't try. Do it. (Patience closes her eyes. She looks like she's dead. Cole looks at her and touches her face. He grabs an ax from the side. He gets ready to swing.) Please forgive me. (He swings it down but Patience grabs it before it hits her neck.)

Patience: I'm not dead yet.

Cut to: [Morgue. B1.]

(They continue to fight the zombies.)

Piper: We can't keep fighting them off. There's too many. (Paige looks up and sees a ventilation hatch.)

Paige: Vent! (The hatch orbs to her hands.) I think I found a short cut. (She grabs all three of them and orbs into the ventilation.) It should be big enough for us.

Phoebe: Do you know where this leads?

Brian: If we go that way, there should be a drop. It should take us to B5. (They start crawling.)

Cut to: [B5.]

(A vent hatch is kicked out. Brian comes out, followed by Piper, Phoebe and Paige.)

Paige: How far away is it?

Brian: Not far. (Zombies start walking towards them. Piper starts counting.)

Piper: There are twenty. We can each take four. (They each start attacking. Brian takes out his gun and starts shooting the zombies. Piper starts cutting there heads off. Paige looks for her sword but it isn't there.)

Paige: I must have dropped it in the vent shaft. (A zombie grabs her. She kicks it off and kicks its head causing its neck to snap.) That's one way of doing it.

Phoebe: Paige. (Phoebe throws her the machine gun and Paige starts shooting. Phoebe takes her sword and starts hacking off heads. They get throw the zombies and head towards the main lab. Brian opens the door and they all walk in. He looks for the antidote in the cabinet where his dad usually keeps it. He opens the cabinet but it isn't there. He looks carefully and then bangs his fist against it.)

Brian: Damn it. I don't understand. He put it in this cabinet. I saw him. Where the hell is it?

Piper: Maybe he destroyed it.

Paige: What do we do now?

Dr. Madison: Looking for this? (They turn around and see Dr. Madison holding the antidote in one hand and the crystal in the other. He puts the antidote in a case and locks it. He puts the key in his pocket.) I was wondering when you'd get here. I'm surprised at the route you took though. It was ingenious.

Paige: Thanks.

Phoebe: You said we could have the antidote if we got here alive.

Dr. Madison: You think you deserve it just for staying alive?

Brian: You were just playing with us. Well, enough playing around. Give it to us.

Dr. Madison: Of course, if you can beat me. (He takes out the virus. He puts it in a syringe.) This is the strongest form of the virus I gave the zombies. But when it is injected into a living thing, you'll find that the end result is nothing to scoff at. (He puts the needle in his arm.)

Brian: Dad, don't.

Piper: Please stop. We can save you. The Source is controlling you.

Dr. Madison: All I wanted was your mother back. Now, we'll all be together again. You have about thirty minutes before the doors open back up. (He injects himself. He starts to mutate.) Now the final round begins. (He starts to scream. He mutates not into a zombie, but a monster. He growls.)

Paige: He's gone, Brian. He's not your dad anymore. The only way we can save Patience is if we kill him. (Phoebe looks at her watch. It says forty-five minutes on it.)

Phoebe: We'll have fifteen minutes after the doors open. We have to destroy that crystal.

Piper: You guys be careful. (The monster starts swinging at them. Paige grabs her gun and aims at him but nothing comes out. She used up all her bullets. Brian grabs his gun and shoots at his former father. The bullet hits him right between the eyes but it doesn't even scratch him. The monster claws him right in the side. The sisters try to fight him but they can't get close enough to decapitate it. Phoebe sees a lab table hanging above them.)

Phoebe: You guys think you could give me a boost?

Paige: Why?

Phoebe: Just lure him close to here and keep him here. (They both boost her up.)

Piper: What are you doing?

Phoebe: On three. One, two, (The monster is right where they want him.) Three! (They throw her up and she levitates up to the table.)

Piper: Whoa! (The monster swings for them but just misses them. They try to keep him where he's at. Phoebe starts cutting the cables holding on the table. After cutting the last on, she falls down and grabs a suspended bar. The table crashes on top of the monster's head, smashing its skull. It's finally dead. Piper and Paige both look at Phoebe.) Since when can you levitate?

Phoebe: Since this morning. A little help please? (Paige orbs up to Phoebe and gets her down. Brian gets the crystal and smashes it on the ground. It breaks into a million pieces and disappears. The zombies in the morgue all turn to dust.)

Cut to: [Manor. Attic.]

(Patience is on the couch. She is shaking and sweating. Cole tries to help her but nothing works.)

Patience: They must have not made it.

Cole: You can't give up hope. (Suddenly, Paige, Piper, Phoebe and Brian orb in. They go over to Patience.) We thought you weren't coming back.

Patience: See, dad? And you thought they didn't make it. (Cole rolls his eyes. Paige puts the red fluid in the syringe gets ready to inject Patience. But before she does, Brian starts to twitch and scream.) What's happening?

Phoebe: He's mutating. He was infected by that monster. We better give him some.

Brian: No, you can't. There's only enough for one. You have to give it to Patience. (Patience shakes her head.)

Piper: There must be another way.

Phoebe: You better think of it in about five minutes. Patience is fading. (They look at Brian.)

Brian: You have to take it, Patience. Then you have to kill me. Otherwise, all that work will have been for nothing.

Patience: I can't. I won't.

Brian: Listen to me. (He puts his hand on her face.) You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I would rather you kill me than watch you die. (Patience nods and Paige injects her. She starts to feel better. Her color returns, she stops sweating and she stops shaking. It worked. She grabs a sword and stands over Brian.) Do it.

Patience: I love you. (She kisses him. She lifts the sword up and a tear runs down her face. She swings it downward and cuts off his head. His body turns to dust and disappears. She drops the sword and backs up. She covers her mouth with her hands, falls down to her knees and starts crying. Everyone just stands there and looks at her.)

Cut to: [P3]

(The club is completely empty except for Piper. She is standing at the bar and looking at the spot where Patience and Brian were standing. Leo walks in.)

Leo: Hey. You ok?

Piper: Yeah, I guess. I feel bad though.

Leo: Why?

Piper: Because I tried to be a good aunt and instead I took away the little time Patience had with Brian. It just doesn't feel right.

Leo: It's not your fault. You did everything you could.

Piper: I know. I just hope she knows it. She had to kill him, Leo, with her own hands. She knew she had to do it for the greater good. But sometimes, the greater good doesn't seem as important as saving your loved ones.

Leo: You can't save everyone.

Piper: I wanted to save him though.

Cut to: [Richard's house.]

(Paige knocks on the door and Richard answers it.)

Paige: Can we talk? (He lets her in.)

Richard: What's up? (She kisses him. He holds her in his arms.) Did I deserve that?

Paige: I just wanted to show you how much I appreciate you. I don't care if you have powers. I want this to work. I love you. (He smiles and kisses her.)

Cut to: [Penthouse.]

(Patience is sitting at the table with her head buried in her arms. The elevator bell rings and Phoebe walks out of it. She sees Patience sitting at the table and goes over to her and sits opposite of her.)

Phoebe: Hey. You want to talk? (Patience shakes her head. She looks miserable.) I've been thinking about my position and I haven't made a decision yet about Jason. I know that you must be hurting for Brian but that's not the only reason. You were angry at me before, and I want to know why. Don't tell me it's because I hate your dad or that I'm going out with Jason. I want to know the truth. (Patience looks up. Her face is stained with tears and her eyes are bloodshot.)

Patience: You were there for Piper and Paige and Leo. You were there for your readers. You were there to destroy the demons. You were always there for Chris because Leo never spent time with him and you felt sorry for him. You were never there for me, to share my happiness, to comfort me when I was in pain like this. You were too busy for me. (She shimmers out. Cole walks in from the bedroom.)

Phoebe: I don't need your input, Cole.

Cole: You can ignore me, Phoebe. You can torture me, screw my life up, you can even kill me. But don't throw Patience out of your life like you did to me. She needs more than a father. That's why she came here. She told me everything. I was always there for her to train her and help her through life when you weren't there. So don't desert her just because she has my blood running throw her veins. (He shimmers out. Phoebe starts breaking things. She trashes Coles home. When she's done, she lets out a big scream.)

The End.

Next Episode: Queen of the Charmed

Just incase you didn't notice, this story is somewhat like the horror movie Resident Evil. If you liked this episode, you will probably like the movie. It isn't the best movie but it's still enough to scare the hell out of you. I apologize to the makers and producers of Resident Evil if I took any words or sayings directly out of there movie. Also, if I make any mistakes, please let me know. See
