Charmed s08e13 Episode Script

Energy ball.
Nice teamwork.
You mean, nice sister work.
We are definitely|getting better at this.
Well, we should be,|we've been doing it long enough.
- I think we're ready.
|- So do I.
I don't.
- Something is still missing.
|- What do you mean? How many more demons|do we have to vanquish? We've been training for this|for, like, eight years.
Five for me.
But still,|we've mastered their powers.
Their individual powers, yes.
But you're still missing|their collective power.
The power of three.
And until you get it, you will never truly replace|the Charmed Ones.
Anyone down here? Big box and high heels.
Need some help.
Just a sec.
Sorry.
Do you need help? Well, I did.
Now I just need a sec.
Okay, well, since I have you Piper, I'm kind of running late.
I have to go sign the loan docs and I want to stop by the condo|before work.
Loan docs? Wow, I didn't realise|this was moving along so quickly.
But, you know, I've been so focussed|on getting Leo back.
Yeah, I know.
But I have made a list of seers|and oracles and anyone that might be able|to foresee who we'll have to fight|in order to get him back.
Great.
Okay, well, call me|if you find anything.
Well, I was thinking I was thinking that maybe|you should take my Jeep because my car holds so much more|than yours does.
- Doesn't it?|- Right.
Piper, are you sure|you're okay with me moving out? Yeah, of course I am.
I mean, we can't be|roommates forever.
That's just weird.
Okay.
Well, here I go.
What am I gonna do? I'm supposed to have a date|with Henry tonight and he is in the worst mood.
He's lost his car keys,|he's lost his wallet, he's locked himself|out of his apartment, and I need him to be in a good mood|for what I want to do tonight.
We aren't talking about sex, are we? No, we're not talking about sex.
I finally screwed up my courage|to tell him, you know, that I'm a witch and I feel like I have to do it tonight,|otherwise I might wuss out.
I really need to know|if he's okay with who I am.
You've been through this a lot,|Pheebs.
Got any advice? Well, hope he doesn't faint.
No, I don't know.
I mean, I haven't had any success|with these things.
Just ease into it, you know,|try to lessen the blow.
Okay, how? Maybe call in|some reinforcements? Maybe ask some of your|magical friends to help him have a better day|so you could have a better night? Like fairies or something? Sure, fairies, leprechauns,|whatever.
Good luck.
Pheebs? I was actually hoping that maybe you could help me narrow down|the list a little bit before you go.
Oh, Piper, I'm really late.
Oh, okay.
|Well, you know, it's just Leo.
Really, come on.
|All I need is one little premonition.
- How hard can it be?|- Okay.
What more do we have to do|to convince you? Convincing me is irrelevant.
We'll only get one shot|at freeing our brethren.
We know that, Savard.
We also know that there's a reason why our kind has been enslaved|for centuries.
The Slave King|is no ordinary demon.
We escaped.
Yes.
So we could return|with enough power to destroy him, a power I'm not sure we've got yet.
But we've spent the last eight years|replicating the greatest power there is.
Charmed power.
And we've not only studied|every aspect of what they know and who they are.
We've infused our blood|with their magical blood, so that their power is our power.
Which means we may already have|the power of three.
But you haven't showed it yet! In any test or trial.
Which means you don't have it.
And you need to get it if we have any hopes|of destroying the Slave King.
There must be a way.
Think back.
Tap into your knowledge|of the witches.
Phoebe was stuck|in a genie's bottle once.
If we could trap her in it again, maybe we could command her,|master to genie, to tell us how.
Forget it.
Leo got rid of the bottle.
What about using the sword,|Excalibur? No, only Wyatt can wield it.
Okay, maybe I could pose as Paige, trick the Elders into helping us.
Right, like that's gonna work.
Look, do you have any ideas? Or are you just gonna shoot down|all of ours? At least I don't come up|with stupid ideas.
- Stupid?|- Hey! Knock it off.
At least you've got|the sibling rivalry down pat.
Wait.
The dollhouse.
It's a magical replica|of the real house, isn't it? Which is believed to be magical|in and of itself.
The house is|the witches' power base, has been for generations.
So? So if we could trap all of them|inside the dollhouse Like Piper was trapped|once before Then we've got|the power of three contained.
And if we're in the real manor|while they're in the dollhouse We might be able to channel|the power of three into us.
It just might work.
Anybody up there? Hello? Billie, what are you doing? What else?|Still trying to find my sister.
Trying to figure out what|this symbol means or where it leads.
I figure it has to be demonic, right? - No, I mean|- I mean, if it's in her diary, you'd think I'd be able to find|something about it in this book, but I Billie, what are you doing|in Phoebe's room? Oh, well, she said|I could hang out in here because she's not gonna be using it.
Is that okay? Oh, yeah.
Sure.
I mean, you know, if she's not|gonna be using it anymore.
Maybe I should just take this stuff|to my dorm.
Oh, no, no, no.
Don't be ridiculous.
I just, you know, I wish she would have|said something, that's all.
Is that her spirit board? Yeah, she said I could borrow it|to try and contact Christy.
Can I? Yeah, you know.
Sure, if you want to start|paying rent.
Just kidding.
Can I borrow the "Book?" Hey, where did it go? Hey, there.
Okay, here's the thing.
My sort of hopefully-|he'Il-become-my boyfriend, Henry, he's having a bit of a problem|losing things, like a wallet, his keys, you know,|stuff like that.
And, not to cast any aspersions|on your character, you guys are known|for the kind of sticky-finger problem.
So I was wondering|if you could go back to your people and tell them|to put everything back.
That would help me so much because I really, really, really need|his undivided attention tonight.
Thank you.
Paige, what are you doing? Just taking Phoebe's advice.
Really, it's the most amazing thing.
I mean,|first my keys turn up in the laundry, then one of my parolees|finds my wallet.
- Still has everything in it.
|- That's great.
My 49ers hat, I lost it in high school,|my letterman's jacket.
It's like everything is turning up,|it's crazy.
Very subtle.
I mean, very Very lucky.
|Some would say magical.
Yeah, I don't know, but I'll take it.
So, good.
We still on for dinner? What's so important|you can't tell me now? You're just gonna have to wait and hear all about it tonight.
Seven o'clock okay? Look, Paige, five of my parolees|have job interviews tomorrow.
They all asked me to write letters|of recommendations for them tonight.
Okay, write them.
Yeah, well, that's a little easier said|than done.
I'm not a writer, Paige.
But look, please don't think that|I don't wanna go out with you, okay? I do.
I have all this work.
I don't want to let these guys down.
Who knows? Maybe I'll get inspired.
I think you should count on that.
I'll see you at 7, Henry.
Being of creativity|Show yourself to me Hey, Muse, right? Could you do me a huge favour|and inspire my friend Henry in there? I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Phoebe, Piper is on line 2-5.
Okay, got it.
Hey, what's up? Have you ever heard of a wizard|named Zakal? No, why? Well, he's been around for ages and supposedly|he's very well-connected.
He worked for the Source|back in the day.
Are you typing? No.
No, I'm not writing,|of course I'm not writing.
Phoebe, this is important.
- This guy could know who's after us.
|- Or not.
Look, sweetie, bringing Leo home is the most important thing|in the world.
To all of us.
But it's not gonna happen overnight.
It's also not gonna happen|if we don't try.
Yeah, but we have been trying.
And we can't just stop living our lives,|you know? I mean, you said so yourself.
Yeah, well, I didn't mean it.
Look, I just don't want to lose|this lead, okay? He could know something.
All right, look,|I haven't signed the loan docs yet, - so why don't I swing by after work|- Well, you have my car.
And the car seats are in my car.
Well, I have to drop the kids off|at Dad's, don't I? Okay, you know what? I'm beginning to think|that you're sabotaging me moving out.
Are you kidding me? Please,|I've already rented out your room.
Oh, by the way,|could you do me a favour and pick up some mandrake root|on your way home? If this guy Zakal|doesn't wanna be cooperative, we may need a vanquishing potion.
Okay? Thanks.
Hi.
Hello.
I've always admired|her sense of fashion.
Keys are in the pocket.
Remember, get the sisters to use|the power of three as soon as possible so we can see|if it's going to work or not.
But we have no idea|what's going on in their lives right now.
Just wing it.
Be yourself.
Or rather, be Phoebe.
Just don't get too eager.
You'll tip the sisters off.
Piper? Paige? First time's a foot.
Next time, a fireball.
Hey, good, you're back.
How'd it go with Henry? Oh, not so hot.
I had to summon a muse.
Oh, fairy wasn't cutting it? No.
I cannot believe how hard it is|just to tell somebody about magic.
Just wait till you have to explain|demons to him.
Which, by the way, we will be going after one|if Phoebe ever gets home.
- It's a big adjustment, huh?|- No.
I mean, she's moved out before.
Right.
Are you okay with it? Why does everybody|keep asking me that? Oh, I don't know.
|Because you guys have lived together since the age of zero? Believe me, I'm fine.
Really.
Really.
I just need her to help me|with this wizard and that's all.
Oh, hello.
- Hey, there.
|- Can I come in? Of course you can come in,|don't be ridiculous.
- Thank you for coming.
|- Well, great.
- Whatever you need.
|- Thank you.
You're welcome.
So what do you need? The mandrake root? Oh, right, the mandrake root.
Where exactly|do we keep that again? You were supposed to get some|on your way home.
You know,|for the whole wizard situation.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Are we gonna need the power of three,|by any chance, for this? You know we will.
|What's the matter with you? Oh, you know, it's just Oh, it's probably just the move.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, so let's see|where I put that mandrake root.
Oh, yeah, here it is.
Now, let's go get those demons,|shall we? How'd that feel? Last time.
Have you or have you not foreseen|any threats against us? I'm old.
I'm afraid my visions|haven't been very reliable lately.
- Oh, bull.
Let's just vanquish him.
|- Wait.
You don't have to do this so quickly.
We could probably|get some stuff out of him.
Help us and we'll spare you.
All I'll tell you is, that by the time you figure out|which demon is after you, it'll be too late! - All right, you know what? Forget this.
|- Phoebe, no, no, no! I did it.
Yeah, you did it.
Why? What do you mean? He's a demon.
We vanquish demons.
|I mean, that's what we do, right? Yeah, actually,|but we could have made him talk first.
No, not Zakal.
I mean, you know,|it's not like he was gonna say anything.
Well, he's certainly|not gonna say anything now.
What the hell were you thinking? - Well?|- It worked.
She blasted Zakal|right out of his robe.
Using the power of three? - Definitely.
|- All right.
It's time to switch one more sister.
Wait, one more? Why not both of us? I mean, we know we can channel|the power of three now, so let's just go vanquish|the Slave King.
We cannot vanquish him|without the potion, which means we need a witch to find it for us|in the "Book of Shadows.
" So why don't we go look for it? Because you might be able to fool|the sisters, but you cannot fool the "Book.
" It senses evil.
He's right.
You'll go.
Play on Piper's desire|to get Leo back.
Make it look like the Slave King|is behind it all.
She will do anything|to get her husband back.
Wait a second,|I'm still talking to you.
Well, I said I was sorry.
|What more would you like me to say? I want you to tell me why you did that,|why you didn't wait for my cue.
Well, because I was afraid|we were gonna be attacked.
Yeah, well, I'm afraid of losing Leo.
Okay, don't use the guilt card with me|like you did with Cole.
Cole? Can you think of perhaps|a maybe more recent example? Well, yeah, I can|but I can't right now, - because I'm a little flustered.
|- Guys.
I cannot believe that you care more about getting back|to your new condo than Leo.
How can you even say that? Well, do you have|another explanation? Well, yes.
I do.
But I'm not gonna tell you.
Phoebe? Billie.
Hey, what are you doing here? Well, you told me|I could use your room, right? Oh, yeah.
Right.
I just meant|I didn't know you were still here.
- Do you want me to leave?|- No.
No, don't be silly.
So why don't you tell me about|how your search for Chrissie is going.
You mean Christy? Yeah.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
|Whatever.
First, all she cares about|is her stupid condo, then she comes back here to help, and now she's suddenly|trigger-happy? She's all over the map.
I'm sure there's some|perfectly good reason.
Oh, yeah?|Well, I am still waiting for it.
- Maybe she was just flustered.
|- Flustered? If anybody has the right|to be flustered around here, it would be the newly single mom.
You're right.
Now I have to go find|another damn wizard.
Where is the "Book?" I guess it's still in the attic.
Hey, mister.
- You better not be cancelling on me.
|- I'm not.
Unless you're breaking up with me,|then maybe I should.
Oh, got you scared, huh? A little bit, little bit.
I finished those letters.
And wrote you a love letter.
- Got inspired.
|- I can't wait to hear it.
Assuming you still want|to read it to me.
Why wouldn't I? Henry, they need you|down at the station.
Now.
Hang on a second, Paige.
|What's going on? GPS went down|on your parolees' transmitters.
- Sergeant needs you to find them.
|- Great.
- Well, what does that mean?|- It means I gotta go.
What about dinner? Sorry, Paige, bad luck.
I'm not on call, you know.
Look, I'm not in the mood, okay? Really, really, I'm not.
|And besides, you guys owe me.
Oh, remember a little somebody|named Shamus? So now it's blackmail, is it? No, it's not blackmail.
Look, I just need my boyfriend Henry|to have a little bit of luck, which is why I need your help.
So just please, go meet me|at the police station in an hour and I will explain|everything to you, okay? All right, but don't be late.
I'm a busy leprechaun, you know.
Don't you just hate leprechauns? You know what to do.
Yes.
I think I do.
Welcome to the dollhouse.
We're trapped,|and even worse than that, we're really, really small.
Okay.
Are you saying that that means|there's no way out of this place? Well, unless|you wanna get squished.
This can't be.
I have a date tonight.
|Sorry, can't miss it.
Give me your hand.
|We're orbing out of here.
Yeah, but Why didn't that work?|What is wrong with my powers? See, that's what|I'm trying to tell you.
I think our powers|were downsized as well.
Rock.
Who's he? He's the demon that replaced us|with look-alikes, which, by the way, I can't even believe|that you didn't notice that wasn't me.
Well, sorry.
|You only vanquished a wizard with us.
I mean, she van She Her The not you Whatever.
Wait a second.
|We used the power of three.
Yeah, I think that's part of their plan.
They keep us here|and then use the power of three to vanquish some guy|named the Slave King and unfortunately, us.
Well, we have to get to Piper somehow|before they do.
Yeah, but how? So then I tried to match the symbol|with the council but it wasn't a direct match,|it just didn't work.
I don't understand.
Yeah, you know what?|That's just a really boring story.
- Boring?|- Yeah.
I think you should just give up.
I mean, it's not like|you're gonna really find her anyway.
Paige, don't start with me, okay? - I have a headache.
|- Forget it, lady.
I'm on to you.
What do you mean? Relax.
It's just me, Patra.
Oh, thank God.
This sister stuff is taxing.
Don't worry, it'll all be over soon.
There you are.
If you two are up here|to gang up on me, forget it.
No, of course not.
Phoebe has come to apologise,|haven't you, Phoebe? Really? Okay.
I'm listening.
Well, Piper, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry|for not being myself lately.
And if it seems that I don't care|about what you're going through, - I'm sorry.
|- Thank you.
I'm sorry too.
Well, great.
|Now that that's taken care of, - I've got a lead.
|- What? How? Whitelighter grapevine.
Turns out there's a fast-rising demon|in the underworld known as the Slave King.
Oh, the Slave King.
|Yeah, I've heard of him.
Really? I haven't.
Well, the Elders have.
What do you say we track him down|and see if we can find anything? I don't know.
I think we should focus|on this demonic seer I found.
No, no.
The Elders say he's pretty evil.
He's enslaved an entire demonic race|for centuries now.
Well, that actually sounds|like a good thing.
No, it's not.
He's forcing them|to do his demonic bidding.
It's just something|we should check on, that's all.
- What have we got to lose?|- Yeah.
You two seem awfully gung ho|about this.
Well, anything to find Leo, hon.
Should we look at the "Book?" I can't believe I'm being stood up by a witch.
- So you see anything?|- Not yet.
Why didn't you meet me|like you said? Oh, I'm sorry.
You are? Someone who's got better things to do|than chasing the whims of a witch.
No matter how good you've been|to the little people.
Well, I've just been busy|helping my sister.
Well, I was just trying to give|your boyfriend a little luck.
That is what you want, isn't it? That sounds just swell.
So how about you go give that guy|some luck? Scamper off, skedaddle.
Go with God.
Fine.
But after this, we're even.
Now, where were we? Hey, Henry, you're in luck.
- Look who I found.
|- Jamison, where did you find him? I was just walking in|and there he was.
Walked right up to me|and turned himself in.
Henry.
I got two more for you.
Caught them|just before they left town.
Where'd you find them?|I've been looking for them for weeks.
Yeah, it's Mitchell.
What? I just won 10 thou? I just won 10,000 dol I just won $10,000! What is going on today? Well, he's powerful|but he's no seer.
I don't know why he would know|who's after us.
Maybe the Elders don't know|what they're talking about.
Well, who are we to question them? We question them all the time.
Right.
Maybe this time|they just know something we don't.
Okay, can we get on with this?|I have to get to work.
Any vanquishing potion in there? No.
Okay, well, we can make one, right? There should be one|in the back of the "Book," just flip to the back of the "Book.
" I know, thank you.
What was that? Did you see that? See what? You didn't see that? That was weird.
I felt like somebody|was calling me or something.
That is odd.
Is that the potion? All right,|what is the matter with you two? This: Cave.
It's about time.
Okay, we're gonna need|some henbane, gypsy's blood and hemlock root.
Together again.
Oh, Piper, are you okay? No, you punched me.
I did not punch you.
It was her demonic double.
What? What are you talking about? We've been replaced.
Oh, no, no, no.
Don't tell me|we're stuck in the dollhouse.
Well, it seems to be an annual event|for you.
Oh, I should have known|they were demons.
Speaking of demons, did they mention|the Slave King to you? Yes, right before I showed them|the vanquishing potion.
Oh, great.
Okay, well, there's nothing|you could have done.
Maybe if I'd|been around more lately.
No, forget about it, Phoebe,|it wasn't your fault.
The question is,|how do we get out of here? We couldn't even call you|with the lost-witch spell.
Oh, that was you.
|I thought I felt something.
- Maybe it'll work on Billie?|- How? We don't even have enough power|to cast a spell.
No, but maybe we have enough|to get through to the spirit board.
Do you think Grams|made a replica of that? Christy? D- O-L-L H- O-U-S-E.
Dollhouse? You guys,|the weirdest thing just happened.
- Not now.
|- Mustard seed.
No, but you don't understand.
|The spirit board, it worked.
I actually got a message.
What kind of message? Well, it spelled out "dollhouse" and I don't think that was from Christy,|but you guys have a dollhouse, right? - Actually, we got rid of it.
|- Keep stirring.
But I thought I saw Wyatt|playing with it a few days ago.
We'll look for it later.
|We have a demon to vanquish.
Don't you think|this means something? I do believe that my sister|just asked you to leave.
- Excuse me?|- Are you dense? We really don't have time|for your crap right now.
This is a joke, right?|You guys have to be joking.
Do we look like we're joking? Did anybody ever tell you|what a giant pain in the ass you are? What? I don't know|why we keep you around.
- But|- Get rid of her.
Gladly.
Front porch.
That was fun.
You think we were too hard on her? - I would hate to have blown our cover.
|- Doesn't matter.
We don't have to look|like the Charmed Ones anymore.
We've got the power of three.
It's time to free our kind.
How dare you escape me? And how dare you return! Come closer.
Come closer.
You would have been wise to have|taken your own lives on the outside rather than suffer through how|I'm going to take them for you.
Where's the other? Savard.
He's waiting for us|to bring him the good news.
Good news? What good news? Of your demise.
- Kill them.
|- Now.
It worked.
We did it.
I don't believe it.
Just out of curiosity,|if this doesn't work, what's plan B? This is plan B.
Billie was plan A.
Well, remind me to evict her|if we get out of this.
You sure this is gonna work? Well, I hope so.
It's your plan.
You have a point there.
Okay, do it now.
Pointy thing.
Oh, it only moved a little.
Well, maybe that's because|I am little.
Okay, well, try again.
Keep trying.
Pointy thing.
Better.
Better.
Okay, Piper, you're up.
Hey.
Hello? We'd like to have a little chat|down here.
Okay, a little to the left.
Pointy thing.
- Perfect.
|- What do you want? You.
Let's get out of here.
- Where's Savard?|- Savard? Oh, I think|they have a height advantage.
Our kind is finally free,|but now Savard will never see it.
I don't understand.
|How could they have killed him? I don't know, but they did.
Okay, if Billie doesn't show up|in, like, two seconds, we're doll parts.
Hang on,|there might be another way.
Talk fast.
Well, our individual powers|are diminished, but not the power of three.
- Obviously, they're using it.
|- Talk faster.
Well, if we can get them|to stop channelling us and use their demonic powers, then we can get|the power of three back, you know? Theoretically speaking, right? All we got are theories.
This is for Savard.
Hey, hang on a second,|what are you doing? What, you're gonna kill me|with my own power? What are you, kidding me? How insulting.
Let alone boring.
Yeah, show some pride,|you know what I mean? Be original.
You guys must suffer from really low|self-esteem, near as I can figure.
Which is clearly why|they had to steal our powers.
That must be very humiliating.
Oh, thank God.
I knew you guys wouldn't really be|that mean to me.
I know I can be|a huge pain in the ass sometimes Billie, zip it! Go get the "Book.
" Oh, the "Book," right.
Find the power-switching spell.
Switch Switch bodies with powers|and then, you know, improvise.
Okay, who are we switching? Them.
I thought we booted your ass out.
You did, but they didn't.
What's theirs is yours|What's yours is theirs I offer up this gift to share|Switch the bodies through the air Well, you wanted to live like us,|now I guess you get to die like us.
Oh, crap.
Well, they say imitation|is the greatest form of flattery.
Well, they do.
Hey, Henry.
Yeah.
- Guess what?|- What? I like you.
Hey, Paige.
- Guess what?|- What? I like you too.
I tell you, this day is getting a lot better|than how it started.
Yeah, so far.
Why do you keep|saying things like that? What do you have to tell me?|Come on, it can't be that bad.
Rooftop picnic, starlight, candles.
Wait, wait.
I want to guess first,|actually.
Hold on.
Let me see.
|You used to be a man before.
No, that's not true, right? Good.
Come on, tell me, what is it? I don't think you're gonna like it.
You try me.
Have you ever wondered|about the kind of strange things that happen with me and|kind of since you've known me? Like why was I there,|trying to help your parolee? How did I find that baby's father|so quickly? How did you get that guy|to tell the truth? How did you get shot|and miraculously survive? And even little things like today.
Finding your keys and your wallet, and then there's|that winning the $10,000 thing, which you should probably give|to charity, because that - You know|- Okay.
Okay.
What are you trying|to tell me, Paige? Do you believe in magic? I don't know.
|I don't think about it much.
Why? I think it's time that you did.
Lights.
I'm doing that right now.
How? I'm a witch.
I have powers.
I can make|these kinds of things happen.
I'm not the kind of witch|that rides around on broomsticks or the hat or with the little black cat,|that sort of thing.
I use my powers for good.
I help people.
And this is not going well and I can see how completely|scared off you are from me.
The door's right there|and it won't hurt my feelings.
Paige.
- What?|- Look at me.
I'm not afraid.
Hang on.
There's just one more.
Really?|I thought I grabbed all the boxes.
Well, this one|I kind of put together for you, just in case you need more herbs|or potion vials or crystals, or, you know, CliffsNotes|of the "Book of Shadows," just in case.
Just in case a demon attacks.
Yeah, don't laugh.
It's gonna happen and you know it.
|And when it does, you know, you're gonna be alone.
Piper, I'm just moving into town,|you know, it's not that far away.
Yeah, but it's not down the hall.
That's true.
You know,|if you don't want me to go No.
You've gotta go.
You know, there's some blonde chick|asleep in your room.
I'm just a little sad.
But I can be a little sad.
Absolutely.
I'm sad too.
It's just, you know, it's been a lot of change.
You know this will always|be my home, right? And that will never change.
I mean, this is family.
Yeah.
Okay, you gotta go.
See you.
