Chick Flick
Manor
Prue's kneeling on the floor holding her camera and taking photos of Piper, who's looking out the window.
Prue says "Hmm, so I think I'll call this 'Woman not pretending to look out the window'."
Piper says "How about 'Girl about to pour hot tea on sister's head.' Let me see." Prue shows her the photo. "Either I'm that transparent or you're that good."
Prue says "Well, I don't think I'll comment since you do have hot liquid over my head."
Piper says "I'm sorry, I just, I was watching Dan come home alone and I think a more appropriate title for that photo would be 'Witch with a severe case of the guilts.' And he was a nice guy who did nothing wrong and..."
Prue says "Piper, you had to end the relationship, all right? Your heart wasn't in it and it was the only way not to break his."
Piper says "I know, I just feel like Dan got the short end of the stick."
Prue says "There are so many ways that I can go with that but I think I'll just..."
Piper says "Thank you."
Prue says "Besides, you shouldn't be worried about your past when your future is in town tonight for dinner and a movie."
Piper says "I know, I know, I know. My first real date with Leo as a normal couple. And normal couples usually shower before their dates, so I'll see you later."
Prue says "Okay."
Piper walks out of the living room and Phoebe walks in.
Phoebe says "Hi doody."
Piper says "Hi doody."
Prue says "Hey." Phoebe sits down on the couch. She has a smile on her face. "Someone's in a good mood. What's his name?"
Phoebe says "Billy."
Prue says "Phoebe, you didn't?"
Phoebe says "What?"
Prue says "You went to go see 'Kill It Before It Dies' at the revival house didn't you?"
Phoebe says "No, why would you think that I..." Prue raises her eyebrows. "Okay, I did. But you know what? It was research."
Prue says "Okay, what kind of class sends you to the movies?"
Michael and Zeke walk in and Michael says "I'm home."
Phoebe says "No, not for school, for me. I mean, if I'm supposed to figure out what I want from a guy, I might as well start with the first guy I fell for, don't you think? Billy is the ideal man."
Prue says "He's a character in a movie. One that I might add you weren't even supposed to watch."
Phoebe says "When I was twelve. I think after a year and a half of battling monsters I can handle a scary movie. Did I mention that Billy is the perfect man?"
Prue says "Once or twice."
The doorbell rings.
Phoebe says "I will get that." Phoebe gets up and answers the door. Can I help you?"
Prue says "Pheebs, who is it?"
Suddenly Phoebe goes flying through the foyer.
Phoebe says "Aaahhh!"
The demon of Illusion walks in the foyer.
Demon of illusion says "Get up you miserable witch."
Prue says "Hey, if you don't have anything nice to say."
Prue uses her powers and the demon crashes into the grandfather clock.
Demon of illusion says "And then there were two."
"Hey!" Michael says forming an energy ball
The demon of illusion runs outside.
Phoebe says "Ow, ow."
Prue helps her up "You okay?"
Phoebe says "Oh, sure."
Michael and Zeke run after the demon as Prue and Phoebe get there coats
Prue says "Come on, come on, come on."
They run outside. Piper comes down the stairs "All right, who took my loo... fa." She notices the mess on the floor.
Movie theatre
Prue, Michael, Zeke and Phoebe walk in. The seats are empty except for one guy who's sitting in an aisle seat eating popcorn.
Prue says "I can not believe they made us pay."
The Guy sitting and eating popcorn says "Shh."
Phoebe says "Sorry."
"I am not sorry enjoy your movie sir." Michael says jokingly
Prue says "He's gotta be hiding in here somewhere."
Guy says "Excuse me, but do you think you might keep it down. This is my favorite part."
Phoebe says to him "Ooh, mine too. This is when Billy comes on and then th..."
Prue says "Pheebs, Mikey we need a spell."
Phoebe says "Okay, but we know nothing about this guy. I can't just whip one up."
They see him near the front row.
Prue says "Oh, he's making a break for it."
"Mikey do something." Zeke says
Phoebe starts and says "Um, 'Evil that has travelled near, I call on you to disappear, elementals…'"
Michael finishes "Hear our call, remove this creature from these walls.'"
The demon disappears in a puff of smoke.
The Guy watching the movie says "That was the coolest thing I have ever seen."
Phoebe says "It's all part of the show, sir." She turns to Prue and says "I can not believe that that just worked. It seemed too easy."
Prue says "Wow, we are getting way too tough for these guys."
Michael says "Yeah we are." They start walking out of the cinema and Phoebe keeps watching the movie.
Prue says "No, no."
They leave. The demon appears on the screen. He laughs evilly.
Opening Credits
Manor
Prue, Piper, Michael, Zeke and Phoebe are cleaning up the mess.
Phoebe says "How am I supposed to know what his deal is? He likes moonlit walks, thinks holding hands is underrated, and enjoys in his spare time killing witches."
Piper says "It was a question for the room, Pheebs. When a demon makes a house call, my curiosity gets piqued."
Prue says "Yeah, well, the house is a mess again. I mean, how come we can't fight the demon of cleanliness or the demon of housekeeping, or even that really big bald guy, Mr. Clean? I would so totally take him on."
"Totally." Michael says
Piper says "But I don't get is the order of things. Don't we usually start some place dark and dreary and then end up at the manor for the big old vanquish?"
Michael nods as he hands Zeke his broom and picks up some glass from the floor.
Phoebe says "Wait a minute. He followed me home. I knew I recognized him from somewhere. He was at the movies and then he followed me home."
Prue says "Well, he had a reason to attack us, so he would have found us sooner or later."
Piper says "But the question is why? I mean, we usually don't vanquish someone without knowing who, what, where, when..."
Prue says "Well, what about the how? How did you know how to vanquish him?"
Phoebe says "Well, remember the spell that we used for the bunyip? Well, I just combined that with the one for the demon with the horn coming out of his..."
Piper finishes her sentence by saying "Forehead?"
Phoebe says "Yep."
Piper says "Nice work. I wish they all went this smoothly. Oh my God, I'm late, I'm so late, I have to get ready." She gives Prue a broom. "Hold this, here take this. I'll help when I come back but Leo..."
Prue and Phoebe both say "Go."
Restaurant
Leo's sitting at a table looking bored as Piper walks up to the table.
Piper approaches him and says "How's the date so far?"
Leo says "It just got better."
Piper says "You can do your homework, pick the right restaurant, the perfect wine waiting and chilled but it helps if you show up. I'm sorry."
Leo says "It's all right, you're here now." Piper looks down and Leo knows something is wrong "What?"
Piper says "Nothing. It's just this guy, warlock or demon or something burst into the house and somehow Phoebe and Mikey managed to vanquish him but we still don't know who he was. Something just feels off. I'm sorry, no work talk, we promised."
Leo says "It's alright; you're the one who wanted to keep tonight magic free. I'm okay with it."
Piper says "Wanna start over?"
Leo says "Okay."
They lean over the table and kiss as a waiter walks up to them "Pardon me."
Leo says "Oh, I hope you don't mind, I got the munchies."
Piper says "No, not at all." The waiter places something on the table. "Thank you." The waiter walks away. "Uh, there's no salt. Could you ask that table for theirs?"
Leo says "Sure, um, excuse me, may we borrow your salt?" The guy turns around and it's Dan.
Dan says "Leo. Piper."
Piper says "Hi Dan... and Dan's date."
Dan says "Amelia, this is Leo and Piper."
Piper says "Amelia as in someone-I-just-work-with Amelia?"
Dan says "Um, here's your salt."
Piper says "Thanks."
Leo says "Well, at least he's not pining away."
An accordion player is playing the accordion fairly close to them. Piper gets fed up and freezes the whole restaurant. "Is this some kind of test?" She unfreezes Leo. "Okay, so I'd like everything to be normal but there's only so much a girl can take. Here's to our first real date." They are just about to clink their glasses and the Whitelighters call Leo. "What are you doing? They need you? Okay, well, I guess it would be the same thing if I was dating a doctor, right? I just wanted tonight to be perfect."
Leo says "Well, it was. I was with you." Leo starts to orb out.
Piper says "Wait a minute."
He stops orbing "What's wrong?"
Piper says "If we can't have a normal date, can we at least have a normal exit? Enough with the disappearing guy stuff."
Leo says "Okay."
Piper says "Okay." She unfreezes the restaurant. Leo stands up and kisses Piper. He walks away. Dan turns around and looks at Piper. "Check!"
Michael's school
Michael is walking down the hallway with Zeke and they are talking. "Come on." Michael says grabbing Zeke's hands. They are about to flame out when Michael's science teacher walks up behind them and grabs Michael's shoulder. Michael grabs the hand and flips the teacher to the ground "Oops." He says.
"Oh." Zeke says
"I am so sorry." Michael says "Are you all right?"
"Yeah I'll be fine but, uh, can I talk to you about something?" The teacher says getting up.
"Sure." Michael says as Zeke's cell phone vibrates. "What's going on? Am I in trouble or something?"
Zeke answers his phone "Hello."
"No not at all It's just…" The teacher begins
"Just what?" Michael says
"No mother its nothing like that." Zeke says
Michael taps into Zeke's head and hears the conversation 'Just tell her you will explain everything later.'
"I'll explain everything later." He says hanging up the phone.
"As I was saying a good friend of mine was at the movies this morning but the thing is that he was angry or something and never showed up to work today." The teacher says.
"Uh-oh." Michael says
"What-what is it." The teacher asks
"Wasn't the demon we saw last night…?" Zeke starts
"Yeah but how? Phoebe and I vanquished him last night." Michael says
"Are you sure?" Zeke says
A demon shimmers in and kneels "Master Michael I have a message from your father."
"I don't have time for this." Michael says grabbing Zeke's hand and flaming them out.
415 magazine
Prue and Mr. Corso are walking down the corridor. Mr. Corso is talking on his cell phone.
Mr. Corso says "Talk to anyone who was in the movie theatre at the time. Well, find out what happened before the fight broke out. No, but I got a location which is where you should of been fifteen minutes ago." He hangs up the phone
Prue says "Are you talking about the revival house on Larkin?"
Mr. Corso says "Not unless you know something I don't. Do you?"
Prue says "Well, maybe not about this."
Mr. Corso says "Okay, you're gonna be working with one of our staff writers. Finley's running late to the interview so you're gonna have to shoot him..."
Prue says "Finley? Finley, as in Finley Beck?" They walk in a room. "Finley Beck?"
Mr. Corso says "You know him. And here I thought you were just a beginner."
Prue says "Okay, he is the whole reason why this beginner got started. He is amazing. Have you met him?"
Mr. Corso says "Not in person. I just know him through his press."
Prue says "All right, well," she grabs his book off the table "I mean, the prose in this is mediocre at best. They didn't even cover his-his period in Germany. Not only is he a gifted photographer but he just seems so, so giving and warm."
Mr. Corso says "A fan?"
The door opens and Finley is there yelling at someone "And you can tell him I said so." He walks in. "Can we get started? I'm on a schedule."
Prue says "Hi, I'm, um, Mr. Beck, I'm-I'm Prue Halliwell."
Finley says "So when's this photographer blessing us with his presence?"
Prue says "That would be me."
Finley says "You're twelve."
Prue says "Oh, I'm good."
Finley says "I'll decide that. Oh, please tell me you're not planning on shooting me in digital. Oh, no, no, no, not now, not tomorrow, not ever. Digital is for amateurs. Careful dear, your true colors are showing. Why don't you do something useful and get me some tea."
Manor
Phoebe walks in the back door
Piper sees Phoebe walk in and says "Hey, honey, how was school?"
Phoebe says "Will someone please tell me what is up with guys?"
Piper says "You don't really expect me to have an answer for that do you?"
Phoebe says "Okay, so I have lunch with this guy from lab, right? He is totally melatonin boy."
Piper says "That bad?"
Phoebe says "I'm keeping his number in case I have trouble sleeping."
Piper says "That bad."
Phoebe says "So I'm sitting there trying desperately not to fall asleep and all I kept thinking about was yesterday."
Piper says "I know, we still have no idea who he was or how you vanquished him."
Phoebe says "No, not that. Billy. The guy from the movie and I know that this is reality but why can't a guy like that exist in my reality?" Leo orbs in. "Here I am talking about the shortage of perfect men and in orbs yours." Michael and Zeke flame in.
Piper says "I found one of the good guys."
Piper and Leo kiss.
Leo says "Unfortunately, I'm here to talk about the bad guys."
Phoebe says "No shortage of those."
Leo says "Yeah, they sent for me last night so I could warn you."
Piper says "Okay, fill in a blank. It's the demon of...?"
Leo and Michael say "Illusion."
Leo says "Yeah, Apparently he uses magic somehow to create violence in society. They told me he's here to make San Francisco his treat. He's got a scar below his eye."
Phoebe says "And a goatee? Not a problem, we vanquished him last night."
Leo says "Are you sure? 'Cause they wouldn't send me..."
Piper says "Unless the demon isn't gone."
Phoebe says "Okay, you call Prue, I'll go to the Book Of Shadows. We gotta get back to that revival house."
Movie theatre
Prue, Piper, Michael, Zeke and Phoebe walk in. Piper freezes the audience.
Piper says "All right, now what?"
Phoebe says "Well, when we last saw the demon, we vanquished him in aisle six."
The demon appears on the screen and Prue notices
Prue says "And now he's in act three. Up on the screen."
The demon of illusion says "Actually I was just leaving. I should've known the disappearing-demon routine wouldn't fool you for long."
Prue says "Yeah, all you really did was piss us off."
She tries to use her power on him but it doesn't work.
The demon of illusion says "Silly wiccan. Tricks are for kids."
Prue says "Piper."
Piper tries to freeze him.
Michael flames out and he tries to go into the movie but is bounced off of the screen and slides into Zeke
The demon of allusion says "This is the world of Illusion and you girls and guys are reality. You powers, unlike mine, can not cross between the two."
Billy comes on the screen.
Billy says "Sally Mae? Sally Mae, where are you? It's getting dark an..." He notices the demon. "I thought you said you weren't gonna cause anymore-"
The demon of allusion says "Shut up!"
Phoebe says "Hey!" Billy looks at Phoebe. "Oh my God, I think he's looking at me."
Billy looks at Phoebe and says "Hi."
Phoebe says "Hi."
"Really?" Michael says to Phoebe as a demon shimmers in behind them and the demon of illusion sees him
Prue says "Okay, I hate to put a damper on your little love connection here, sis, but we need to kick some ass."
The demon of allusion says "Oh, is that what you're gonna do? How cute. How clever of you." Phoebe smiles and winks at Billy. "Any idea on how you intend to do that? Or are you just gonna flirt me to death like your little tardy sister."
Billy says "Watch your language in front of the ladies. Consider that a warning."
The demon of allusion says "I'm sorry, was it the word 'sister' that bothered you? How about bitch. Does that go down easier?"
Billy jumps on the demon and they both come out of the screen and they roll around on the floor.
Phoebe says "Prue, stop him."
Prue uses her power and the demon is thrown through the air. Billy stands up and he's still in black and white.
The demon of allusion says "You're off the screen. How did you...? Thanks for the inspiration, sport." He runs outside.
The demon grabs Michael and says "You father wants to see you now." The demon says grabbing Zeke and Michael and shimmering out.
Commercial break
Underworld
Michael, Zeke and the demon shimmer in outside the castle.
"What happened what are we doing here?" Zeke says.
"I don't know." Michael says and looks at the demon "Why are we here?"
"Your father sent me to get you." The demon says
"Why?" Michael says in a bit of a tone.
"Because he cares about you." The seer says flashing in she looks at the demon "I will take it from here." He shimmers out.
"Your father is scared for you Michael." The seer says.
"Right, if that were true he would have let my mother stay alive he wouldn't have killed her." Michael says about to cry.
Jared flames in behind them "But I didn't kill her."
"Yes you did I saw you." Michael says
"No what you saw was a shape shifter or something." Jared says
"How do I know your not lying to me." Michael says
Jared, unable to control his anger, throws a fireball in Michael's direction and it hits him sending him flying with a huge scorch mark on his chest.
"Mikey!" Zeke says running to him and then looks up at Jared.
A guard shimmers in
Jared makes another fireball to throw at Zeke but the seer steps in front of him "No you mustn't do this."
Jared calms down a little and sees Michael lying there. "What have I done?"
Michael's eyes open as the wound heals and he gets up and looks at Jared "You tried to kill me." He grabs Zeke and flames out before Jared can say anything.
"Do you want me to go and bring his demonic butt back here?" The guard says
"No, he wont come I have crossed the line. He hates me." Jared says flaming out.
Manor
Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Michael, Zeke, Leo and Billy are there. Prue puts the Book of Shadows on a table.
Piper says "So what does he want?"
Prue says "Well, it doesn't matter, right? Let's just get rid of him."
Billy says "I don't mean to interrupt but is there a point in this scene where someone explains my part to me?"
Piper says "Phoebe, you brought the fictitious character back for a play date, you tell him."
Phoebe says "You're right, we should have left him at the movie theatre, he would've really blended in there. Um, Billy, this isn't a movie. Uh, this is reality as in we're all real and you... I haven't quite figured that part out yet."
"Hi." Michael says putting his hand up and smiling
Billy says "But you..."
Leo says "They're the good guys."
Prue says "Right, okay, um, we know that the demon can go from the real world to the world of Illusion and now he can bring a buddy along for the ride. The question is what does he want?"
Piper says "Leo, they told you that his goal was to create violence in society."
Leo says "Yeah, but they left out the how part."
Billy says "He goes into movies. That's where he does it."
Prue says "Does what?"
Billy says "Well, first he... Where's the music?"
"What music? Zeke says
Billy says "This is around the second act, right? When everything's about to be explained. Where's the music we're supposed to talk over, to build suspense and hide the exposition? Don't you just hate exposition?"
Phoebe says "Don't even get me started."
Prue says "All right, you said that he does something in the movie. Like, what, to the story?"
Billy says "No, to the audience. When they leave they're different, angry."
Michael,, remembers what his teacher said to him earlier, says "Oh no."
Piper says "So that's his shtick? He casts a spell in the movies?"
Leo says "Must be how this demon spreads his particular brand of violence."
Phoebe says "Wait, that's why he looked so familiar. He wasn't at the movie, he was in the movie."
Piper says "So if he can use Billy's movie, then he can use other movies."
Leo says "If he's gonna spread violence, he's gonna pray on people who are already open to it."
Prue says "All right, so he'll be in horror movies. I'll grab a paper, head out to the theatres that are playing those."
Piper says "Okay, Leo, Michael, Zeke and I will go with you."
Phoebe says "I'll call Morris and Andy, give him a heads up."
Prue says "Uh, Phoebe, maybe you should do something with Billy. You know, add a little techni-color to him."
Foyer
Leo, Michael, Zeke, Piper and Prue are walking down the stairs. Prue's cell phone rings. She answers it.
Prue says "Hello?"
Finley says "Miss Halliwell."
Prue says "Mr. Beck." They walk towards the door. "Uh, how did you get..."
Finley says "You realize I have photo approval?"
Piper puts on her coat.
Prue says "Yes, I'm totally aware that you have photo approval."
Finley says "I want to see them."
Prue says "Now?"
Finley says "Yes."
Prue says "Well, no, see actually I'm not at home right now." Piper helps Prue puts her coat on. "So maybe we can meet at the magazine later."
Finley says "That won't work for me."
Prue says "Later's not good for you?"
Finley says "No."
Prue says "Well, when would be good for you, exactly?"
Finley says from outside "Now."
"Freeze." Michael whispers and they all stand still.
Finley says "Little late don't you think? I can see you moving."
Michael moves his arm to Zeke's shoulder "How about now?"
Prue hangs up and opens the door. "Dark room would be where?" Finley says
He walks in.
Piper says "So that's Finley?"
Prue says "My hero. Well, I guess the plans have sort of changed."
Piper says "All right, we'll call you later."
Piper, Zeke, Michael and Leo leave.
Finley says from another room "Don't mind me. I'm just wandering through your house."
Movie theatre
"Axe Husband" is playing. The axe murderer murders a girl and the demon comes on the screen.
The demon of illusion says "How would you like to do that for real? I can get you out of here. Take you to a place where the movie never ends." The audience start talking and wonders what's going on. "Simmer down. Dust comes out of his hand and floats over the audience. "I'll get back to you in a moment." The he says to the axe murderer "So, interested?" He nods. "Uh, as with most things, there is one catch. I get to pick three victims. They're choice little morsels and I think you'll find them quite powerless against your charms. Feel free to kill anyone you like on the way. Just get me those girls. But leave the two boys alone." The axe murderer walks out of the screen. "Now, ladies and gentlemen. Let's make your PG lives rated R. Who needs violence when you can make it yourself."
The audience start fighting and yelling at each other.
Manor: Attic
Phoebe's putting make-up on Billy. He's all color now except for a little spot on his forehead.
Phoebe says "And then that part when Sally Mae gets her hair caught in the car door right when the monster's about to get her. I love that part. Oh, I'm sorry. Not only have you seen it, you've lived it."
Billy says "It's all right. I like to hear what you think."
Phoebe says "Okay, now you have to be careful not to say that because every girl will know that you're not for real." Billy smiles at her. "You make me feel like a kid again. I mean, I-I must've seen you... well, the movie a thousand times."
Billy says "I'm glad you liked it."
Phoebe says "Yeah, and even with that ridiculous dialogue and that predictable story, you just... you made your character seem really real, you know."
Billy says "Phoebe, I am those lines. That's how I was written. I don't exist outside that movie."
Phoebe says "Until now."
Billy says "I never minded. I always knew what scenes to show up for or what to say. But then he comes into the movie and I'm getting to write my own lines. Be more like you. I think you're swell, Phoebe."
Phoebe says "Thank you, Billy."
Billy says "But I don't know how this happened or how I'm supposed to be. Everything I've ever known, understood, touched, it's all been scripted. I had no choice but here you have options. Where to go, what to say, what to do."
Phoebe says "Well, you're in my world now. What do you wanna do?" Billy takes off Phoebe's glasses and they kiss passionately. When they end the kiss, Phoebe notices his lips have turned back to black and white. "I almost forgot." She starts putting the make-up back on his lips. The phone rings and Phoebe answers it. "Hello?"
Morris says "Hi Phoebe. Thanks for the heads up on the movie theatre thing."
Phoebe says "What happened?"
Morris says "Mission multiplex. One dead, four injured, six in custody. Can you believe that?"
Phoebe says "You know what? At this point I think I would believe anything. Okay, thank you for calling but keep your eyes open. I think this day's gonna get worse before it gets better, okay? All right."
Morris says "Bye."
Phoebe says "Bye." She hangs up and then dials a number. "Piper, we found our demon."
Dark room
Prue and Finley are developing the photos.
Prue says "Um, you know, maybe you'd like to take those home. Relax, ponder, choose which one you'd like."
Finley says "Maybe you'd like to be quiet while I see if I can save these things."
Phoebe says from upstairs "Prue, is it okay to come down?"
Prue says "Not really a good time."
Phoebe says "Okay, well I really need to demon-strate something for you."
Prue says "Okay, what is it?"
Phoebe pokes her head around the curtain "Uh, once you finish your thing and I finish my thing, then we really need to go meet Piper, Michael, Zeke and Leo to fix the thing that we saw at the..."
Prue finishes her sentence "Thing."
Phoebe says "Exact... I love you. I'll be back upstairs."
Prue says "Okay." Phoebe leaves. Prue notices Finley looking at her. "Sisters."
Finley says "Here. Print this one again. But you need to flag a gradual fade on the wall behind the me and burn in the key under my chin. Would you like me to hold your hand this time?" Prue turns on the light. She puts a photo under a magnifying glass. "I figured out what's wrong with your photos, Miss Halliwell. Absolutely no depth."
Prue says "Really? Now would that be the technique or the subject?"
Finley says "Excuse me?"
Prue says "I wish I could. Your work meant more to me than you will ever know and because of that, I have carried around this illusion of what it would mean to me to meet you and to learn from you and how that would make me appreciate your work even more, but now it is so hard for me to even look at your pictures because I think of the man who took them. And it is devastating to me to realize that the brilliance of your eye is completely destroyed by the ignorance of your mouth."
The photo under the magnifying glass catches on fire.
Finley says "See that's the thing about art, Miss Halliwell. If you leave your subject under the light too long, it burns."
Finley leaves and starts to walk up the stairs. Prue grabs her camera. "Mr. Beck." He turns his head and she takes a photo. "Thank you."
Finley says "You're welcome."
Movie theatre
The movie with Bloody Mary in it is playing. Piper, Michael, Zeke and Leo walk in.
Piper says "It wasn't much of a date last night. You wanna find a couple of seats in the back and make out before demon hunting?" The demon appears on the screen and dust comes out of his hands and floats onto the audience. "Okay, well, I'm okay, you're okay. Magic perk. Mikey you okay?"
"Yeah Zeke and I are fine." Michael says
The demon of illusion says "Didn't you hear the management? Please refrain from talking. Oh, well, I guess I'll have to kill you. Better yet. Mary, oh Bloody Mary." Mary walks on the screen. "There's one of the girls who's been getting in my way. Don't stab her all in one place. Remember leave the boys out of this."
Bloody Mary come out of the screen and heads for Piper and Leo. Piper tries freezing her.
Piper says "Okay, uh, that didn't work but my legs still do. Okay let's go."
Michael flames them out to the parking lot.

Phoebe and Billy are making out.
Dark room
Prue's putting things away.

He trips her and he raises his axe. Prue stands back up and he chops the stair. Prue kicks him in the face and runs out of the basement. "Phoebe!" She runs up the stairs.
Attic
Phoebe and Billy are still making out when Prue runs in.
Phoebe looks at her and says "Hello, privacy."
Prue says "Hello, axe murderer." Prue uses her power and moves a table in front of the door. The axe murderer chops his way through the door. Phoebe and Prue stand behind Billy. Then they run towards the back of the room and Prue moves a dresser in front of them with her power. The axe murderer continues to chop things with his axe.

Phoebe says "He's very, very sensitive about the language."
Foyer
Piper, Zeke and Michael run in and she locks the door.
Piper wanders through the house while Panicking and says "Okay, dead woman with a knife on her way. Guys stayed behind to calm down the... Where is everybody?"
She hears screams from upstairs and runs up the stairs.
Attic
The axe murderer is still chopping through things. Prue grabs a chair and holds it up but the axe murderer chops it. Then all of sudden he stops and falls to the floor. You see a piece of wood sticking in his back and Piper, Zeke and Michael are standing there.
Phoebe says "Pretty sneaky, sis."
Prue goes over to Piper.
Piper says "Phoebe, does this guy look familiar to you?"
Phoebe says "Uh, yeah, kinda."
Piper says "When Leo, Michael, Zeke and I tracked down the demon, he sent some white pasty hag literally off the screen to kill us. I think he called her Bloody Mary."
"He did." Michael says
Phoebe says "Wait a minute, this Paul Bunyan with a lobotomy, he's from 'Axe Husband', I saw that last week."
Prue says "We so have to monitor your viewing habits."
The axe murderer moves and they all scream and run down the stairs.
Piper says "We can't kill them, they're not real, they're fiction."
Prue says "We can't kill something that doesn't exist."
Bloody Mary appears from around the corner and they all scream. Billy grabs her and she stabs him.
Phoebe says "Billy!"
Billy says "I have something in common with the bad guys. Run!"
Bloody Mary pulls the knife out. Everyone runs in different directions.
Michael's room
Michael and Zeke run into Michael's room and hide. Michael hides in his closet and Zeke hides under the bed. Michael puts a hand on the knob and forms an energy ball in his other hand. He moves and steps on something and he looks down and sees a picture of him and his mom and dad. He picks it up and is pulled into a very powerful premonition.
Premonition
Teresa runs into a room dragging Michael with her and something is in her hands. The door crashes down and a strange man walks in all mad. The guy walks in and says something's. "Leo?" Teresa yells and Leo orbs in behind the guy "Get Michael out of here?" Leo orbs out.
"Who are you talking to?" The guys says turning around as Leo orbs in and grabs Michael. The guys turns back around "Hey!"
End of Premonition
Zeke comes out of the closet and says "Mikey! Mikey wake up!"
"I think I know what really happened." Michael says as they run out of the room.
Bathroom
Piper runs in and shuts the door. She looks around for a place to hide. She gets in the shower and pulls the shower curtain across.
Piper says to herself "I am being stalked by psycho killers and I hide in the shower."
She hears the door open and she stands still. Then she hears footsteps getting closer and closer to the shower. She crouches down and you see a shadow through the shower curtain and an arm reaches up and pulls the shower curtain across. Piper screams. It's Prue and she screams too. They calm down and Piper gets out of the shower.
Prue says "Okay, okay, oh, oh, at least they're not in the bathroom with us, that's-that's kinda good."
The door opens and Bloody Mary walks in "Pretty little girls."
They scream again and run out the other door. They run around the corner and run into Phoebe and Billy, Michael and Zeke. They all scream. They calm down.
Phoebe says "I think I figured out how to kill these guys." You see the axe murderer's shadow coming around the corner. He walks around the corner and Billy pounces on him. "Billy!"
Billy says "He can't hurt me. You run. I'll see if I can hold this one off."
They run back upstairs into the attic.
Phoebe says "Okay, okay, so Billy said that the only thing he knows is what's written for him in those movies, so maybe this is the only way the psycho's know how to die is how they were killed on screen."
"And we're supposed to know that how?" Michael says
Piper says "Well, how am I supposed to know that? I'm a romantic-comedy girl. Why go to the horror movies when they come to us?"
Prue says "All right, that leaves you, Pheebs."
Bloody Mary enters the attic.
Bloody Mary says "Miss me?"
Phoebe says "Okay, that's Bloody Mary and she was, uh, thrown out of a window. And that axe guy, he was, uh, he was, he was electrocuted. So go tell Billy and..."
Prue says "And see if the slasher will stick his finger in a socket, sure."
Prue walks around Bloody Mary and leaves the attic. Bloody Mary walks towards Phoebe and Piper, Michael and Zeke.
Piper says to Phoebe "Okay, get her, get her."
Phoebe says "We have got to do something about that complexion."
Phoebe grabs her and flips her over her head. Phoebe then holds onto a beam above her and kicks Bloody Mary and she crashes through the window. Piper and Phoebe look outside and she disappears.
"Whoa." Zeke says
Piper says "One down and one to go."
Suddenly, Prue comes flying through the doorway and lands on the ground.
Phoebe says "Prue."
Prue says "He wasn't real receptive to the plan." She stands up.
Piper says "Does anybody else get tired of cleaning up after these guys?"
"I do." Michael says
The axe murderer walks in. Piper sees a bucket of water and pulls it close to her. Prue then sees a heater on. Billy comes in. "its okay," he rolls up his sleeves "The man is here to save the day." He holds his fists up.
Prue says "Billy, it's the 21st century; it's the witches' job to save the day."
Prue uses her power and the heater flies up over to the axe murderer catches it. Phoebe throws the bucket of water on him and electrocutes him. He disappears.
Piper says "It's over."
Phoebe says "Don't ever say that. Every time someone says that in the movies, something always..."
The doorbell rings.
Downstairs
They all cautiously walk through the foyer up to the door. Piper slowly reaches out to grab the door knob.
Morris says from outside "It's Darryl and Andy."
They all jump. Piper opens the door.
Piper says "Hi." Prue, Phoebe, Michael, Zeke and Billy go in the living room. "Serious face. It's okay, we're too tired for pleasantries. Just tell us."
Morris, Andy and Piper walk in the living room. Everyone sits down except for Morris. He looks at Billy confused.
Phoebe says "He's okay."
Morris says "It wasn't just an outbreak at one theatre. I've got stuff going down on multiple locations. And on top of that, I got a series of murders straight out of the movies. I think we're looking at a copycat."
Phoebe says "Only there's more than one cat."
Prue says "How much do you want?"
Andy says "Only what we need."
Prue says "It's not someone imitating what happens on the screen. It's someone from the screen doing what comes naturally."
Phoebe says "Killing without scripts. So we, um... well, let's just say we rewrote them."
Morris says "So is it over?"
Piper says "Not even close. We don't know how many more are out there and we have no way of stopping the demon from tampering with the audiences, so..."
Morris says "You used the 'd' word again."
Piper says "Sorry."
"Is that what I am to you Morris? A 'd' word." Michael asks jokingly
Morris' pager beeps " Andy and I gotta get back to the station. Call us."
Phoebe says "Thanks, Darryl." they leave.
Piper says "We have to find this guy before it gets any worse."
Prue says "Yeah, only we don't know where he is."
Billy says "I know where he's gonna be tonight."
Phoebe says "Don't ya just love it when he does that?"
At the same time Michael says "How?"
Billy says "The demon didn't just show up at my movie today. He's been there before. Every time we leave for a new city, he goes there too."
Piper says "You mean he's traveling in the print?"
Phoebe says "And tonight's the last night in this city. That's where he's gonna be."
Prue says "Right, so the midnight show will be his final performance. We can't kill him in our world so we'll have to do it in his."
Piper says "You mean, go into the movie? Can we even right a spell for that?"
Phoebe says "I could probably whip up a potion or something."
Piper says "Well, how about two. One to make sure we can get in and one to make sure we can get out."
Prue says "Phoebe's pharmaceuticals."
Phoebe says to Billy "That means I'm gonna have to leave you there."
Billy says "So, you'll always know where to find me."
Prue says "So let's go to the movies."
"I think I might just stay here and call it a night." Michael says "Just call if you need anything. Come on."
Zeke and Michael run up the stairs and closes his door and they flame out.
Underworld
Michael and Zeke flame in and see that some demons are standing there and some are walking around.
"What happened here?" Zeke says
"I have no idea." Michael admits walking to the gate and opens it "Come on." He whispers to Zeke and he closes the gate just as two minion guards shimmer in. the guards start to kneel upon seeing his face "Oh." Michael says closing his eyes thinking they were going to grab him "I didn't do it please don't hurt me please."
"Prince Michael." One minion says
The other minion says "Sorry my liege we have had a couple of demons break in and attack our most powerful demons."
"What?" Michael says "Is my father all right?"
"He's fine. But uh a threat has been made." A minion says
"Well we'll deal with it." Michael says
"No, my liege, the threat was made against you." The second one says and Michael's eyes widen.
Michael turns around "Dad!" He yells. He runs into the commanding room where there are demons all around and Michael runs to the stage and sees his dad. "Daddy!" He yells.
"Mike?" Jared questions as he was not expecting him to be there. "Are you all right?"
"Yes I am. I heard about the threat and I tried to find you and I couldn't made me think that…" Michael starts as he has tears in his eyes hugging his father.
"Shh. Shh. Its ok." Jared says to Michael.
"No its not all right I wouldn't be able to think of you being gone after what happened before." Michael says.
"Look this threat is more powerful than you or me. I need to know that you are safe from this threat therefore I am putting you with some of the few most powerful demons I have left." Jared says.
"With all due respect father I believe that I can handle whatever it is that is coming for me." Michael says "I don't need demonic protection."
"You will if you want to survive." Jared says
"Then I'll let the sisters know… but first I need to know what really happened the day mom was killed."
"But I don't remember what happened I was knocked out and couldn't see what happened." Jared says.
"Look just trust me on this." Michael says and Jared nods. "I am able to access Phoebe's premonition power through telepathy. I could probably see what happened while you were knocked out."
"Ok." Jared says.
"Zeke, I cant do this alone. You are the only other one who has access to my telepathy I want you to help me see it too." Michael says "Grab my hands." Zeke grabs his hands and there eyes close. They gasp and there heads hit there chests much like how Prue astral projects.
Premonition
Present day Michael and Zeke appear in a white flash of light. And they see what Michael had saw before except more clearly.
Teresa runs into a room dragging Michael with her and something is in her hands. The door crashes down and a strange man walks in all mad. The guy walks in and says something's. "Leo?" Teresa yells and Leo orbs in behind the guy "Get Michael out of here?" Leo orbs out.
"I remember this." Michael says to himself. "Just barely do I remember this."
"What happened?" Zeke asks.
"Watch." Michael says
"Who are you talking to?" The guy says turning around as Leo orbs in and grabs Michael. The guy turns back around "Hey!"
"No!" Teresa yells as the guy tries to grab little Michael. She throws her arm out and the guy goes flying away from little Michael.
Leo orbs back in and grabs little Michael "Gotcha." He says.
"Papi." Little Michael yells and there is a shimmer of yellowish lights and Jared appears.
The guy morphs into his regular self.
Michael realizes the figure "Mr. Sanchez?" Zeke and Michael say at the same time.
Mr. Sanchez forms an energy ball and says "I will learn everything there is to know about your son. I will gather all the information I can then I will use that information to kill him."
"Over my dead body." Jared says forming a fireball.
He throws the energy ball at Jared and he is thrown past Michael and Zeke into the cabinets in the kitchen.
"Papi!" Michael yells running to him as Mr. Sanchez morphs into Jared.
Mr. Sanchez looks back at Teresa and says "The boy must not have his powers yet, this will be even easier than I thought." he forms an energy ball and throws it at little Michael.
Little Michael flinches at the bright blue ball coming at him he closes his eyes tightly and next thing he knew everything, except the two present day boys and Teresa, was frozen.
"Whoa." Michael and Zeke say together shocked.
Zeke turns his head and says "Isn't that Piper's power?"
"Yeah but she flicks her hands this was more of a mind thing." Michael says still shocked.
Teresa moves the energy ball away from little Michael and it hits the wall.
Mr. Sanchez unfreezes and throws a surprise energy ball at Teresa who is knocked into the shelf.
"Mom!" little Michael says
He forms another energy ball to throw at Michael. Before it even leaves his hand Teresa uses every strength she has left and waves her arm and sends Michael flying into the sofa.
Present day Michael forms an energy ball but knows what will happen if he throws it so he puts it out. He starts crying and they are surrounded by a white flash and return to there bodies.
End of premonition
Michael and Zeke's heads rise as they return and Michael saw what needed to be seen.
"Oh my god." Michael says.
"What?" Jared asks
Michael says "I saw everything I saw you and Mom and myself." He hugs his father "I am so sorry. I was young and didn't know about magic all that well."
"Come here Bro." Zeke says and Michael goes to him and hugs him.
They hear a crash outside the hallway "Go." Jared says "Go now."
Michael flames he and Zeke out.
Movie Theater
Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Billy walk in as Michael and Zeke flame in and Sally Mae's on the screen. The same guy as before is asleep in the front row.
Sally Mae says "Billy, you're back. Just in time. Well, this is the part where we're supposed to be... You brought company. Oh, Billy, how could you? We were going steady. And you... you pinned me."
Billy says "That's because the writers told me to, Sally Mae. I mean, you're a nice girl and all but..." he looks at Phoebe "Anyway, these people, they're here to help us."
Piper says "Phoebe, do you have the potion?"
Phoebe says "Mmm hmm."
She hands them little jars of a green potion
Prue says "Oh, couldn't you at least have made it look like it tasted good?"
Billy and Phoebe take the lids off the jars and clink them together. They drink it and throw the jars behind them. Billy walks in the movie and holds out his hand for Phoebe. Phoebe walks in the movie and looks at herself. She laughs.
Phoebe says "Check me out. I'm retro."
Piper drinks her potion "Ugh, it tastes like ass..." Billy gives her a look. "phalt."
Piper goes in the movie. The demon walks on the screen.
The demon of illusion says "And now for the final climax."
The guy in the seat wakes up and pushes Prue on the floor. He goes to jump on her but she kicks him in the stomach.
Piper says "He's under a spell."
Zeke says "Behind you."
Piper turns around and punches the demon in the face. Prue says to the guy "Deep down I know that you're an innocent so I can't really kill you but I can..." Prue uses her power and throws him across the room. "Sleep tight, film boy."
Michael closes his eyes and tries to freeze the guy but nothing happens
The demon of illusion says "You're outta your league. In fact, you're outta your world. Didn't anybody ever tell you what happens once the movie ends if you're still in it? No? Well, I'd love to explain it to you but we're out of time."
Piper says "Prue? Mikey?"
Prue says "Piper, Phoebe, get out of there quick."
Phoebe and Piper run towards the screen but smack straight into it.
Piper says "Oh!"
Phoebe says "Ouch."
The movie starts getting dark.
Piper says "Prue, why is it getting dark? Prue, what's going on?"
'The End' shows up on the screen.
Prue says to Michael "I thought you were staying home."
"I was but I decided that I would come anyway." Michael lies.
Commercial break
Movie Theater
Piper is still in the movie and is saying "Prue, do something."
Prue says "Where are you? What can I do?"
"Help us." Piper says
Prue astral projects in the projector room. The projectionist is asleep in his chair. She walks over to the projector. "Where the hell is reverse?"
She pushes a button on the wall and the movie rewinds.
Phoebe sees Prue standing there and says "Prue?"
"Phoebe?" Michael asks
Prue astral projects back in her body.
Prue says "Are you guys okay?"
Phoebe says "Yeah."
Piper says "Yeah."
Prue says "Get outta there quick."
Phoebe and Piper drink the other potion and walk out of the screen. They hug Prue, Michael and Zeke.
The demon of illusion says "That's right. Run away, little witches. So these are the mighty Charmed Ones. Ooh, watch me run in fear."
"I think you should." Michael says
"Well if it isn't the Prince of the underworld you should really be in hiding right about now." The demon of illusion says.
Piper says "Prue, I don't know what else we can do."
The demon of illusion says "And you're supposed to be the perky one. You should really try not to be so negative. How does it feel to finally know someone you can't defeat?"
"Prue." Michael says "The film."
Prue turns around and says "I don't know, you tell me." Prue uses her power and turns to picture head monitor off. "You know, if you leave a subject under the light for too long it burns."
The film starts melting.
Demon of illusion says "No!"
The film melts.
Later on in the projector room
Projectionist says "Thanks for waking me up to warn me about the film burning. I could've lost my job."
Piper says to Prue "I guess you learnt something from Finley after all."
Prue says "Yeah, I guess he did come in handy. You can love the work but not the man."
Piper says "What if you love them both?"
Phoebe is talking to Billy from the screen down below "I guess it's only fair. I got my first glimpse of romance from watching you on the big screen. Other girls deserve that same view. Thank you for restoring my faith in the male species."
Billy says "Now all you have to do is hold out for one that's three dimensional."
Billy holds his hand up against the screen. Phoebe does the same. They start walking away and then look back at each other. They walk away.
Manor: Living room
Piper and Leo are cuddled up on the couch.
Piper says "You've gotta be kidding, the date was a disaster."
Leo says "I had a great time. I especially liked the look on your face when the accordion player broke out in that song."
Piper hits him playfully.
Piper says "Are you making fun of me?"
Leo says "No."
Piper says "Yes." They kiss. "It was our first date, I wanted it to be, I wanted us to be..."
Leo says "A normal couple?"
Piper says "Yes."
Leo says "Well, you're a witch and I'm a Whitelighter. You know, busy, being called away are probably the only normal things about us."
Piper says "Hmm."
They kiss.
Doorway
The door is open slightly and Dan walks in.
Dan says "Hello, door's open."
back in the living room. Leo and Piper stop kissing. Dan walks in the foyer.
Dan says "Is anybody, uh..."
He sees Leo and Piper.
Piper says "I, uh..." Dan walks back outside. "No, Dan, wait." Piper walks in the foyer. She notices he's holding a small box of stuff. "What's this?"
Dan says "This is yours. Some of the things you left over at my house."
Piper says "Oh."
Dan says "I kept them around because part of me was hoping that maybe... maybe that you'd come back. After last night I realized that I have to move on too."
Piper says "Um, thanks."
Prue comes barging through the door "Hey." She sees Dan. "Dan, hi, um, are you..."
Dan says "Just leaving. I, uh..."
Piper says "Yeah." Dan leaves. "Does it never get any easier? Okay, talk to me of something else. What happened at the magazine?"
Prue says "Oh, I had another run in with Finley." They walk in the living room. Prue sees Leo. "Hey, you."
They sit down. Phoebe comes in. "Anyway, it all worked out."
Phoebe sits on the same chair as Prue.
Phoebe says "Did you get to tell off the demon of crankiness again?"
Prue says "No, once was enough but my editor did love this shot that I chose of him." She shows them the photo she took when he was on the stairs. "Said that it captured the real man. Speaking of, I will never see another horror movie again but I ran across this and thought..."
She gives Phoebe the video of "Kill It Before It Dies".
Phoebe says "Prue, oh, Prue. I love it, I love it. I'm gonna go watch it right now."
She runs out of the living room and up the stairs.
Piper says "Should we worry?"
Prue says "I-I think she's just saying goodbye." She looks around and then asks "Where are Michael and Zeke?"
"At Zeke's house I think." Piper says
Phoebe's room
She's lying on her bed watching the movie. She's miming the words they're saying in the movie.
Underworld
Michael and Zeke flame in right in front of Jared and some of his fellow demons.
Some demons kneel.
"Can I talk to you about something?" Michael says and then says "Please."
"Sure." Jared says.
"Do you think if I cast a spell I could go back in time and try to see why that guy tried to kill us?" Michael says.
Jared nods "I wont allow that. You would have no way of coming back here."
"Ok." Michael says grabbing Zeke's hand and flaming out.
Manor
Michael and Zeke flame back in the attic
"Are you really going to not do it?" Zeke asks
"Of course I am going to do it." Michael says heading for the book.
"Do what?" Rosaline says standing in the door way.
"Nothing, um, when did you get back?" Michael says
"About an hour ago." She says. she hears a jingle in her head and says "I will be back in a few."
She orbs out.
Rosaline's house
Demons are there along with a few demons that Michael has already vanquished and Mr. Sanchez says "Family means the world to him if we are going to get him and steal his magic we need to tempt him with a soul of a loved one."
Rosaline walks up and says "And I know exactly who to tempt him with."
