Charmed s02e06 Episode Script

That Old Black Magic

There, that's gotta be it.
I don't know.
Looks kind of small to be a mineshaft, doesn't it? Maybe it was bigger in the 1800s.
X marks the spot.
Let's check it out.
- Definitely not a good sign.
- You're such a wimp.
You were saying? Ten bucks says this is where the gold is hidden.
Hold this.
Ryan, I think these are all warning signs.
Stop worrying about it.
I'm free.
- What year is this? Speak! - 1999.
Two hundred years? - My wand.
Where's my wand? - Your what? My wand! Where is it? Don't know what you're talking about.
Too bad.
- What the hell just happened? - I don't know.
She shrunk us.
- What do you think she wants? - How should I know? - Here she comes.
- I told you this was too dangerous! Fine, but what are we gonna do now? - Oh, no.
- Run! You're welcome.
Now find my wand.
Phoebe, we are televising this live.
Can't it wait? Prue, Dan's truck just pulled up outside.
Dan's truck? So? So Piper is with him, and they're kissing.
And I'm not just talking about your thanks-for-lunch peck-on-the-cheek kind of kiss.
They mean business.
Okay.
What is the problem? They like each other.
This is a good thing.
No, I know.
I'm just worried that she's moving too fast.
Like she's too in a hurry to get involved with someone else.
Look, Piper's a big girl.
And really, I mean, it's none of our business, right? - Right? - Isn't it sort of our business? Okay, Phoebe, Piper cannot just sit around for the rest of her life waiting for Leo.
She's trying to move on.
- Besides, Dan's a great guy.
- Okay, we're on in five, Miss Halliwell.
Okay, gotta go.
Bye.
It's about freaking time.
Leo, whatever happened to knocking? I'm sorry, but there's no time.
Where's Prue and Piper? We have to talk.
You know, now's not really a good time, okay? I know.
How about you orb back in in, say, an hour? - Okay? That would be great, bye-bye.
- I can't.
The worst thing imaginable just happened.
No kidding.
It's not that it isn't great to see you, Leo, because it is.
But you can't just orb in whenever it's convenient.
It hasn't been a problem before.
Yeah.
Well, things have changed.
- I can see that.
- Leo.
Sorry.
Wasn't fair.
- Where's Prue? - At work.
Fine, then we'll have to start without her.
- Your friend Dan has to leave now.
- Oh, really? Why? Because you and your sisters have a very big problem.
A magical problem.
Look, this isn't personal.
It's business.
What else is new? You know, that handyman guy sure does seem to hang around here a lot.
Well, it's an old house.
Lots of things need fixing.
Then why is Piper so upset? Because there are some things that he can't fix the way she wants it.
You know what, I'm late for a job.
If you can just have her call me later.
Lipstick.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
- Are, like, Piper and Leo? - You're late.
Dan, wait.
Well, I wouldn't know where to begin anyway.
- Everything okay, sweetie? - Oh, no.
- Come on, we gotta get going.
- Going? Where are we going? I'll explain on the way.
No, Leo, you'll explain now.
We're not going anywhere.
Two hundred years ago, a good witch turned evil, started using her craft against innocents.
Fortunately, she was tricked into a cave and entombed.
But unfortunately, this morning, Tuatha escaped.
Tuatha? Who wouldn't go bad with a name like that? So you want us to find her and vanquish her.
What's the big deal? The big deal is you can't vanquish her.
No witch can.
She kills good witches.
Leo, if we can't defeat her, then who can? There's only one person.
He's known as the chosen one.
- The chosen one, is he a witch? - No, he's a normal person, other than the fact that he was born to use Tuatha's wand against her.
So, what do you want from us? Why don't you just go get him? I need you to protect him from Tuatha until the wand comes to him.
It shouldn't be long.
Lore has it that once the witch is free, the wand will find him.
But if she finds it first - She'll kill the chosen one.
- And then she'll come after you too.
The design of inlaid garnets with pewter and ebony is distinctly 18th-century European.
Eighteenth century? I had no idea it was that old.
The faceted-cut amber headpiece surrounded by the symbolic snake suggests that it was an ornamental staff or a ritual wand.
And I bought it at a flea market for 15 dollars.
But you'll be very pleased to hear that at auction you could easily get $5,000.
Good Lord.
Of course, an item is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, though.
Isn't that right? I'm sorry, who are you? Jack Sheridan, from Sheridan Internet Auctions.
If you own it, I can sell it.
Okay.
How nice for you.
But this is my appraisal.
Oh, and it's a very impressive one too.
But can you guarantee this nice lady that someone will actually pay $5,000 for this at auction? - There are no guarantees, but - Thirty seconds.
Betty, I'm willing to give you $1,000 cash today.
Yeah, well, then you would be robbing her of $4,000.
But you said yourself that you can't guarantee that.
Oh, but I suppose you just have $1,000 cash in your pocket.
Well, would you like to find out yourself? No need.
I can tell there's not much there just by looking.
Betty, I can have $1,000 cash for you this afternoon.
What do you say? I say sold.
Here's my address.
- And I'll see you there this afternoon.
- It's a deal.
Cut, and that's a wrap.
Excellent, folks.
- Very entertaining.
- Yeah, for you.
Look, forgive me, I just I wanted to be on the same stage - as Prue Halliwell.
- Why? Because it gives my startup company instant credibility, that's why.
You know, if the other specialists at Buckland's have your expertise and talents, I might reconsider their standing job offer.
I turned them down last year.
You wouldn't like it here, Mr Sheridan.
We don't lie or cheat.
I don't lie.
You know what, l I better get to the bank.
I have a wand to buy.
Wanna bet? I don't know.
An evil witch who gets her jollies killing good witches? Maybe we should have waited for Prue to get home.
- There's no time.
- Okay, please tell me we're here because the chosen one is a big, burly football coach.
No.
But he is the seventh son of the seventh son.
We've been watching him since he was a young boy.
Okay, so how old is he now? - See, over there.
- He's a high school student? - And he's a nerd.
- Hey, I didn't choose him, they did.
If he can help save you, that's all I care about.
Leo, he's a teenager.
How can we let him go up against Tuatha? She'll destroy him.
Not if he finds the wand and learns how to use it.
Besides, she knows he's the chosen one.
If we don't help him, she'll find him and destroy him anyway.
Doesn't sound like we have much of a choice.
This is wrong.
He should be battling acne at his age, not evil witches.
Yeah, but look at us.
Do we look like we should be the all-powerful Charmed Ones? - What's his name? - Kyle.
Kyle Gwydion.
- Does he know yet? - No.
Any idea on how we're supposed to get him to come with us? I have an idea.
He likes magic, right? Let's show him ours.
- Hey.
It's Kyle, right? - Do I know you? Not yet, but you will.
You'll know the both of us.
I think you might have me confused with somebody else.
- Nope, you're the one.
- The chosen one.
That was real subtle.
You heard what Leo said, clock's a-ticking.
Hey, Kyle, do you believe in magic? Real magic? I gotta go.
Piper, we have to show him before someone sees.
Kyle.
- Now what? - You wait here.
Behind you.
- How did you do that? - Magic.
Wanna know more? Help me, somebody.
Help me! Well done.
That's my wand.
My God! Who are you? The last being you will ever see.
Betty.
No.
It's all right.
We don't have to follow her.
She's a good witch.
She'll come back to us.
- So you're witches.
- Right.
- And I'm the chosen one.
- Correct.
And why exactly am I the chosen one again? Because you're the only one who can defeat Tuatha.
Leo, please.
I'm sorry, we don't have a lot of time here.
All the more reason not to freak Kyle out.
Too late.
Look, Kyle, I know that this is a lot for you to take in.
And your first instinct is probably to resist it.
I mean, I know that's how we felt when we first found out we were witches.
Still do sometimes.
But we've learned that you cannot fight your destiny.
It's like fighting who you are, who you're meant to be.
And your destiny is to vanquish the evil witch Tuatha.
I bet one of my brothers put you up to this.
Right? What, Sean? No, no, I bet I bet it was lan.
Or Dylan? I'm always the butt of their jokes.
- Kyle, listen - No, you You listen.
This is a joke.
I'm not the chosen one.
I'm no one.
You made a mistake.
- Kyle, wait.
- What do we do? What do we do? Stop him.
- Whoa, who are you? - Nobody.
- It glowed.
- That's the wand.
It has to be, it recognizes you, Kyle.
- Recognizes? What do you mean? - Where did you get that? From someone that I think that I should tell you about in private.
- Someone named Tuatha? - Tuatha? Let Kyle hold the wand.
Go ahead, it won't hurt you.
It found you, just like it's supposed to.
Okay, time out.
Attic, anyone? Kyle, why don't you go into the kitchen and help yourself to whatever you want.
- That is, if you're staying.
- I'm staying.
I don't know for how long, though.
I'll be right back.
Leo, he's just a kid.
Besides, you haven't seen Tuatha's power.
I mean, she made a woman disappear, literally.
It's his destiny to defeat Tuatha, Prue.
- Then why did I get the wand? - To make sure it got to him.
It's part of the lore.
If you guys were meant to defeat Tuatha, there would be a spell in the Book of Shadows, and there isn't.
- He's right.
We checked.
- Twice.
Which means we need to spend what little time we have left teaching Kyle how to use the wand.
Look, Leo, I know that you never guided us down the wrong path before.
But please, at least let us try to defeat Tuatha.
If we fail, then fine, we'll help you with Kyle.
She'll kill you.
Don't bet on it.
All right, we need to start by finding out where Tuatha is before she finds us.
- Piper, are you with us? - Yep.
Hey, it's me.
- Hi.
- Who are you? Apparently, I'm the chosen one.
I haven't seen you around before.
What's your name? - Kyle.
- Jenny.
- You a friend of theirs? - No.
No, I'm just supposed to help them with something.
Maybe.
- I don't know.
- Well, what's that? - It's magic.
- I don't believe in magic.
You're kidding.
Everybody believes in magic.
Not me.
That is so cool.
How are you doing that? I have no idea.
What the hell do you think you're doing? I was just Telling your friend goodbye? Fine, I can take a hint.
Just tell Piper that my uncle Dan needs to talk to her, okay? - Sure.
- Bye.
Bye.
So still think you're not the chosen one? There you are.
"To disempower a witch.
Fresh human heart.
" - Here it is.
A scrying spell.
- Scrying? What's that? It's what witches use to magically find something or someone.
It says that we need a map, a piece of string and a crystal.
Okay.
Day three.
I'm definitely lost in the woods.
Separated from the other two.
Running out of food, water.
Little scared.
- Sorry, did I scare you? - Hell, yeah, you did.
Are you lost? Yeah, totally.
Just walking around in circles.
Couple of friends and me were making a documentary on the Blair Witch.
Did you know that it takes for a person to die after their heart has been damaged? And since that time's almost up, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for yours.
Okay, we found her.
Lost Caves, Muir Woods.
Yeah, l I can't make it do it again.
- You did it before.
- I don't know how.
I mean, I was just trying to impress Jenny, that's all.
Well, that's how.
It came from your heart, from inside of you.
- You willed it.
- So what? So I'm supposed to will some evil witch dead? But why me? You know, I don't understand, out of all people Don't sell yourself short, Kyle.
You saw what you did before.
Now, that was you.
All you have to do is believe in yourself.
Now, try it again.
Leo, we found her.
So we're gonna go pay her a little visit.
No, wait, don't.
Please.
It's nothing personal, Leo, it's just business.
You.
Thrilled to see me, I see.
This is a really nice house, Prue.
Buckland's obviously pays better than I thought.
What do you want, and how did you find me? I followed your scent.
Must de Cartier, right? Now, that is a classy perfume.
Though I'm hardly surprised.
Could I have my wand back, please? You see, Betty never called, and I couldn't contact her, because her address mysteriously fell out of my pocket somehow.
You wouldn't know anything about that, would you? So you're blaming me for something that you lost.
Isn't that a little juvenile? I mean, what's next, a shoving match on the jungle gym, a war over juice cups? Prue, we really need to get going.
The wand is mine, Prue, and you know it.
All's fair in love and war.
Piper.
- Hi, Dan.
- Piper, wait - Is he still here? - Never left, actually.
Prue, I'm kind of in a hurry here, so if I could just get my wand and All right, you know what? Dan, Piper will call you back later.
You, whoever you are, sorry, no wand.
Leo, keep working with Kyle, just in case.
Us, out the back door.
Out the back door.
Don't you have some other house to repair? No.
We should be getting close.
Hey, there it is.
Kind of creepy in there.
And dark.
All right, I'll go in first, since she only knows about me.
You guys just wait a couple of seconds, then follow.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Thank you for not keeping me waiting long.
- How did you know that? - Neophyte witches are always so predictable.
Like I said, I cast a spell, removed your powers.
Obviously, you didn't count on that, witch.
And obviously, you didn't count on her sister witches.
Are you guys okay? Three witches.
I'll be ready for that next time.
Cool.
Well, it was.
Both hands.
All right, you have to use both hands.
I didn't need both hands when I made it spin before.
Well, you'll need both hands against Tuatha.
If she gets the wand from you, she becomes invincible, and you will not be able to vanquish her.
Now, just do as I say.
Pretend I'm evil, all right? You connect to your destiny by connecting to yourself.
Will me away.
Look, give it up, Obi-Wan, all right? - You got the wrong guy.
- No, I don't.
All right, you are not just the seventh son.
You are the seventh generation of chosen ones.
It's in your blood.
You just have to believe.
Believe in what? What, myself? Forget it.
- Look, you can't just give up.
- Just did.
Innocent people are going to die.
Are you willing to live with that? No, now, don't you lay that crap on me! Oh, does that make you mad? Good.
At least that means finally you're being the real you.
Screw you.
That's right, get pissed at me.
Show me your anger.
Maybe you'll figure out what you're really angry about.
You don't think you're the chosen one, you think you're forgotten.
Sick and tired of it too, aren't you? Aren't you? Leo? Not bad.
What was that crash? - What happened in here? - Little training, that's all.
"That's all"? Do you have any idea how much that's gonna cost to fix? Well, I know who's gonna be fixing it.
Leo, what if somebody saw you? Oh, someone like neighbour Dan? - Hey, you're bleeding.
- It's nothing.
- So you guys kick some butt or what? - Or what.
Tuatha was ready for us, or at least for me.
She stripped away my power.
And then literally disappeared before I had the chance to freeze her.
It's a good thing she wasn't expecting all three of us, or we wouldn't have gotten out of there.
You're lucky you did.
Now, will you help me with Kyle? Why are you so ready to send a teenager up against an evil - that we can't even defeat? - Because he can.
At least, he can with the wand.
And he's getting better at it too.
I'm out of here.
- Kyle, wait.
- No.
What the hell is the matter with you? They're even scared of her.
I told you, you have made a huge mistake.
I can't do this.
Leo, you can't make him.
Even if it is his destiny.
I hope he doesn't tell anyone we're witches.
Won't matter much if we're dead.
Okay, nobody knows the Book of Shadows better than you.
So if black magic can strip away powers, then surely white magic can do the same, right? Let's go.
Joshua! - I'm telling you, Heath, he's dead.
- He's not dead, Michael.
Joshua! Hey.
Looking for the Blair Witch? Before the passing of this hour Take away all of their powers Find my wand.
Want me to heal that for you? - I'm fine.
- Come on.
No.
It just gets all confusing when we're close and when you touch me.
I don't wanna be confused anymore.
Hey.
Look, Leo, you just do your job, and I'll do mine, okay? This is my job, Piper.
Thanks.
He'll never understand you, you know.
Your secret, what you're all about.
Not like I can.
Maybe not.
But at least I can count on him to be there for me when I need him.
- Kyle! Uncle Dan, stop.
- Who's he? Just some friend of Piper's.
He's cool.
- I'll be home soon.
- Soon when? - An hour? - School night.
Half an hour.
Hey.
Where you going? Just out of here.
- Where's your magic wand? - It's not mine.
- Never was.
- Sure could have fooled me.
Are you okay? How long have you known the Halliwells? Couple months.
Why? They have this screwed-up idea that I'm Well, that I'm somebody that I'm not.
Never mind.
It doesn't matter.
Phoebe once told me that if it matters to you, it matters.
So if they think you're somebody, Kyle, then you probably are.
Thanks.
Piper? Any luck? Well, I did find one spell, but it requires a human heart, and unfortunately, we're all still using ours.
Well, take mine.
All it does is get me in trouble anyway.
- Snake.
- Oh, I'm the snake? - But you're the one who - Snake! Look out! - Tuatha Okay, Piper, freeze him.
- I'm trying.
It's not working.
Prue! Prue.
Prue.
What should we do? - Kyle.
- Leo, do something.
Kyle, catch.
Die! Thanks.
Okay, this is a potion to induce sleep.
This one is to repel an evil threat.
And that one puts out a fire.
- What kind of potion does that? - None.
It's water.
I didn't have a lot of time.
It was the best that I could do, okay? What about the potion to give Kyle more courage? I remembered wrong.
There isn't one.
- Well, that's disappointing.
- You guys, I'm scared.
And not just for him, but for us.
I don't like feeling so powerless.
Maybe that's our lesson for the day, not taking our powers for granted.
Maybe.
But if we're gonna get our powers back, then we're gonna have to help Kyle defeat Tuatha.
Well, we're just gonna have to find a way to make Kyle feel more courageous without magic, that's all.
Come on.
- How's it going? - Good.
- I think he's ready.
- You think? I'm ready.
I mean, as ready as I can be, anyway.
You know, it's funny, I always wanted to be somebody special.
You should be careful what you wish for.
Believe me, we can relate.
Phoebe, the sleeping potion.
So young.
So new to the craft.
Now, this is a sleeping potion.
Hey! What the? Now, the wand, if you please.
Not much of a chosen one, are you? At least the last one was able to entomb me.
Like I will now entomb you.
Prue, the courage potion.
- What? There is no courage potion.
- No? Now who's teaching who? Kyle, get the wand.
You can do it.
I wish for the wand.
My wand! Don't give up, Kyle.
Believe.
- I wish you gone forever! - No! Leo.
- You're hurt.
- I'm okay.
- Let me get you some ice.
- Really, I'm fine.
- Are you getting even? - No.
Just finally getting it.
What you want.
What you deserve.
A normal life or at least as normal of a life as you can get.
Which means a normal relationship.
Which I can't give you.
Guess we know now why witches and whitelighters aren't supposed to fall in love, huh? - It's broken.
- It served its purpose.
Yeah.
Thanks to your magical boost of courage.
Kyle, Tuatha was right.
There was no courage potion, we made it up.
You defeated her all by yourself.
Well, still, it doesn't Doesn't change anything.
Nobody would believe me even if I told them what I did.
Yeah, but you know what you did.
And as long as you keep believing in that, you can change whatever you want.
Who knows what you're still destined for.
What are you gonna tell him about what happened to the poor lady - who owned the wand? - Well, what can I tell him? Look, I called him because I just wanna get rid of this thing, that's all.
Are you sure it's not just an excuse to see him again? Phoebe, don't be ridiculous.
This is business, it's not personal.
Where have I heard that before? Got a date, gotta go.
Well, for what it's worth, I think Jack is pretty cute.
Yeah, well, he's a jerk.
How do I look? - Fab.
- Thanks.
Hey.
I just thought that you might wanna have this back.
I mean, after all, it is rightfully yours.
Okay.
Hold it.
What's wrong with this picture? Looks like it broke.
Keen eye, Prue.
It kind of lowers the value of the wand, don't you think? Bright side, at least it's worth what you were gonna buy it for now.
Come on.
Have a drink.
You can brag to me how you outsmarted me with the wand.
I do like to learn from the best.
Okay, I'll brag a little.
Bartender.
- Right this way, sir.
- Thanks.
You're welcome.
- Hi.
- Hi.
After you.
Thanks for coming.
I hope a late, late dinner is okay with you.
Look, I'm gonna make this easy for you.
I know that you and that handyman, Leon - Leo.
- Right, Leo.
I know that you guys are more than just friends.
I'm not dumb.
I mean, he's always around the house Dan, it's over.
Oh, no, I don't mean you and me, I meant him and me.
That's why I wanted to see you tonight.
I didn't want there to be any more confusion.
You sure? Yeah, I'm sure.
