Charmed (1998–2006): Season 5, Episode 11 - The Importance of Being Phoebe - full transcript

Cole uses nonmagical legal means to manipulate the sisters in giving him ownership of the manor and access to the Nexus. Paige is arrested, P3 fails a health inspection and Phoebe is replaced by a shape-shifter.

Ok, so I had to stop at
five herb shops, but...

I finally found some eye of newt.

So if i?s good enough
for Shakespeare's witches,

I think i?ll help us put
a serious dent in Cole.

Look, we've tried everything to
vanquish him, but nothing works, ok?

So, I just say we watch our
backs and get on with our lives.

Speaking of which, do you think eye of newt
would work on the woman tha?s trying to sue me?

Is she demonic?

Well, she's demonically stupid.

Paige, I am seriously worried that
I'm gonna lose my job over this.

For giving bad advice in your column?



No, the advice wasn't bad.

I never told her she should
leave the guy at the altar.

Either way, what happened
to freedom of the press?

Well, apparently, some dirt- bag
lawyer is finding a way around it.

Paige?

Paige, are you ok?

Paige! Can you hear me? Paige?

Paige? Are you ok? Paige!

Cole.

How'd it go?

It was beautiful.

Was the other driver hurt?

Oh, yeah.

Good.



Now all you gotta do is a little mind- control
on the witnesses and maybe a cop,

and we're golden.

No time for one little dance?

I was waiting for you earlier.

I'll make it up to you.

Boss...

You know what I want.

{\fs36\c&H8080FF&\a10}The Importance
Of Being Phoebe

Are you sure you don't wanna call Leo?

{\a6}No, no, i?s just a mild concussion, and,
besides, I don't deserve to be healed.

{\a6}I know better than to talk
on the phone and drive.

I don't know what I was thinking.

{\a6}Do you remember what happened?

{\a6}I was speaking to Phoebe, and then
the next thing I know, the car just
started spinning out of control.

I?s kinda like my career.

Oh, honey, i?s not that bad, is it?

{\a6}I think it is.

{\a6}The newspaper's lawyers wanna meet
with me, and I don't think i?s
because they're huge Phoebe fans.

Well, I'll see you your
career and raise you my club.

The health inspector's coming back today,
and the plumbing just exploded-- again.

{\a6}What is going on with us?
Is mercury in retrograde?

Have you thought about
using a magical band- aid?

{\a6}I'd do it in a heartbeat if I wasn't
afraid of the personal gain consequences.

{\a6}See, this is why demons
always have the upper hand.

{\a6}You know? I mean, they can use
their magic whenever they want to.

Yeah, well, you know, tha?s
what separates good from evil.

Yeah, I know that, but
i?s still very tempting.

I mean, you could fix your plumbing,
I could turn some lawyers into toads.

Aunt Phoebe, little wiccans have
very big ears that can hear you.

{\a6}Oh! I'm sorry, baby!
I was only kidding! Mostly.

{\a6}So, you're gonna be ok, because
I have to go get fired now.

{\a6}You are not getting fired, and I'm fine.

{\a6}From your mouth to go?s ears.

{\a6}Ok, bye, my little niece.

You're smashing me.

I love you.

Get off me.

This is no segue, but you and I
need to talk about vanquishing Cole.

'Cause we don't have enough
problems at the moment?

No, because he's actually our
biggest problem at the moment, ok?

Look at Phoebe. He's totally beaten her down.

I don't know, she seemed kind of cheerful
considering the state of her career.

Yeah, Tha?s this wonderful
thing called "denial." Ok?

The Phoebe I know would never
roll over for lawyers like that.

And this morning when I was talking
to her about vanquishing Cole, she
told me I was wasting my time.

I'm telling you, she is off.

All right. Ok, all ready.

We'll-- we'll spend the afternoon
with our noses in potions,

but can I go save the sole
source of our income first?

Yeah, go. I'll see you later.

Are you ok to orb?

I am perfectly fine to orb. Go.

All right.

Paige Matthews?

Yeah?

You're under arrest.

Felony hit and run. She's going down.

And P- 3?

Well, Health Inspector's
there. Our guys are in place.

Well done.

Ohh, I gotta say, using the law to bring
down The Charmed Ones was genius, sir.

They'll never figure it out.

Oh, they will figure it out.
I?ll just be too late.

The Halliwell Manor,

the doorway to the spiritual nexus.

All the power that we need.

Oh, man, right under the
witches' house. Who knew?

I did.

Is that why they're so damn strong?

Eh, partly. The Nexus packs a punch,
but the power can go either way.

In good hands, good gets a power boost.
But when we tap into it, evil spreads.

How far?

Far enough. The police...
the politicians...and Phoebe.

She will be consumed by evil, and
she will finally give in to our love,

and then I'll torture and kill her sisters,
and we'll live happily ever after.

Sir, I thought the point of all this

was to give you the power to
reorganize the underworld above ground.

Yes, it is, it is. But to be united,
evil must have a happy leader,

and for me to be happy, I need...

Phoebe, what are you doing here?

I came to see you, baby.

I thought we could have a little picnic.

Kaia, what the hell do you think you're doing?

Damn, how'd you know it was me?

Well, for starters, Phoebe
hates me, and she doesn't drink,

and she uses a little less tongue.

Since when does a stripper
follow a guy back from work?

Hey, hey, hey, Dex, go easy.
She's got a little crush.

With all due respect, sir,

Kieran demons are manipulative vixens,

and this one has an agenda that
goes way beyond "a little crush."

Sure...she can smell power, can't you, Kaia?

Maybe she wants to be my new queen.

Just send this one away,
and I'll prove my worth.

I'm afraid I can't. I'm
in love with someone else.

But I can give her to you. I can be her.

No.

You're good for the occasional dance,
but beyond that I need the real thing.

All right, you heard him.
Get out and stay gone.

Otherwise, I'll make sure you do.

Not like that.

Go out the way you came in.

In this office, we keep up appearances.

You want me...I can feel it.

Insolent.

Hot, though.

Oh, no no, no, no. Don't do that. Come
on, you've gotta give me another chance.

And why is that?

Because...because, because...

because we've been in business nearly four
years and we haven't failed an inspection yet.

Well, I'd have to disagree
with that, Mr. Wyatt.

You failed two this week.

Yeah, but this week has been
bad, like, strangely bad,

and we'll have the plumbing fixed tomorrow,
so...can't you just come back then?

Well, your record has
been impeccable until now
-

Whoa! Hello.

Rats, too.

No! No, we don't have rats!
We-- they don't live here!

They're just-- they're just
trying to ruin my life.

Rodent infestation takes
longer than a day to clear up.

Close down, address the problem, and we'll
schedule another inspection in a few weeks.

I won't need another inspection in a few weeks,

because if I stay closed that
long, I'll be out of business.

Sorry. There's nothing I can do.

All right, well, I'll show you out.

Where are you? I hate you, I hate you. Go home!

Get outta here, you plague- spreading,
club- ruining rodents! I will get you!

Piper, what are you doing?

Diminishing the rodent population, obviously.

Come on, honey, we're gonna get through this.

Yeah, we will, but the club
won't. How can this be happening?

I mean, I know I've neglected the
club since I've been pregnant,

but not this much!

These things happen. I?s just bad luck.

No, it is more than bad luck,
it is sabotage. It is...

i?s demonic.

What?

Well, yeah. Phoebe's lawsuit
...Paige's accident...

no, tha?s it. I?s all
part of it. It has to be.

Why?

Because I said so and, if
not, we're losing the club,

which is just not an option.

Damn. She missed me by this much.

This way please, Miss Matthews.

No film.

Why don't you try the file in the cabinet?

She's not going anywhere.

Why? Why am I not going anywhere?

You've always helped us before.

With your other problems. This is not "others".

I am not so sure.

Paige...

I didn't do what they're saying I did.

And if anybody's trying to set
me up, it would be a de
-- others!

Officer Garcia is not others, nor
is he in league with any others.

He's a good cop, and he has
saved my ass on many an occasion.

Oh, my god, I think I see wha?s going on here.

Phoebe's lawsuit, Piper's club. You
have to get me out of here,
otherwise i?s just gonna get worse!

Listen, I am a lieutenant now.

I can't just bend the rules like I used to.

Even if I could, this is
legal problems, you know?

I-- I can't just make those go away.

We can't just make it go away.

She has a strong case for malice.

I don't understand. How
does she have a strong case?

She's claiming that as a result
of your own bitter divorce,

you've made it your mission
to destroy other marriages.

That is ridiculous.

"If you have any doubts, any doubts at all,

I suggest you flee at the speed
of a baby cheetah at suppertime."

I was using hyperbole.

I know that, but she's collected
dozens of similar clips,

and she's threatening to go
to the press with her story.

And, as a newswoman, I can
tell you...I?s a good story.

Ok, well...isn't controversy good for sales?

It may be good for The Enquirer,

but I've worked very hard to build this
paper into a respectable news source.

Can't we just pay her off?

We have to have insurance for
this type of thing, right?

She doesn't want money! She wants you fired!

I?s like she's on some kind of vendetta.

I'm sorry, Phoebe.

I have to suspend you without pay
while our lawyers try to work this out.

Cole.

Excuse me?

Darryl, have you heard from Paige?

'Cause she was supposed to come
straight home from the hospital, but--

Paige is in jail. Look,
we tried to call you, but--

What? What? For-- what for?

Reckless endangerment and felony hit and run.

What?

Oops.

You have got to be kidding me.

Paige, Darryl said you were in jail.

Oh, I am. I mean, I-- I was.

I will be, just as soon as I figure
out what demon is doing this to me.

You just disappeared from jail?

No! I put pillows in the bed first.

It always worked at my parents' house.

Paige!

What? You weren't gonna help
me, so I had to help myself.

Whether you believe it or not,
there is a demon behind this.

At 2:00, they're gonna come
get you for your bail hearing.

If you're not there, tha?s my ass.
Everybody knows we're friends.

They're gonna just think I just let you go.

I will be there at 2:00.

See ya.

Ok, he hates me.

Yeah, he does, but for what
i?s worth, I'm with you.

Leo's doing The Elder thing.

Oh. Let me guess.

You didn't pass inspection.

Nope.

Le?s just cut to the chase, shall we?

Our problems are legal, right?

Who's the only demonic lawyer that we know?

Cole. And he has gone off the deep end lately,

but how is ruining our lives
gonna help him get Phoebe back?

I don't know, but until we figure it
out, we should keep her out of it.

You slimy son of a bitch!

Phoebe, is that you?

Wha?re you, evil and blind? Yeah. I?s me!

Look. Why don't you just
admit that you're behind this.

Admit it so I can use magic to fight you.

I don't know, uh, I don't know
what you're talking about.

Look, Cole. My career is the
most important thing to me. Ok?

So, is that your plan? To take it away from me?

So that I come running to you for comfort?

Phoebe, I love you, and I don't
know wha?s going on, but...

maybe I could help. Would you like
me to kill someone for you or...

you're-- you're boss, perhaps?

I might not be able to use magic, but--

You're sexy when you're mad, you know.

I can't wait until I get to kiss you again.

Cole, I will never be with you again.

I hate you. I hate you. Do ya get that?

Hate is good. I?s passionate. Intense.

I?s-- i?s
-- i?s a breath away from love!

Ah, she's great.

What do you want?

Just to give you what you want.

So what are we gonna do?

We're gonna tell him we're on
to him and i?s not gonna work!

I can't believe I saw what I just saw.

Well, believe it 'cause I saw it, too.

But how? Why is she kissing him?

I don't know, but I say we go back in there

and we pull her out by her hair.

No. No. We can't make a
scene. Ok. We need a plan.

Ok...here it is. We go home, we vomit...

and?

Tha?s all I got so far.

Ok.

Oh, come on, baby. It was just getting good.

Not good enough.

You'll never be as good as the real Phoebe

and you should stop trying.

You're right. I'll never
be as good. I'll be better.

I know tricks the real Phoebe's
never even heard of before.

I've been patient with you...up until now.

This is the last time I'm gonna say this.

Leave and don't come back.

You don't know what you're missing.

Hey! What did I tell you!

Cole has some serious work to do and
I will not have you distracting him.

Cole? What the hell? Who are you?

Hey! Get it through your thick head.

The leader of the underworld
will never have a whore...

as his queen.

Did you just call me a whore?

There's not-- there's no...are-- are you sure?

Leo, we saw Phoebe and Cole tongues locked,

hands groping all over each other.

Ok. Didn't need the visual.

Well, maybe he has her under
some kind of mind control.

I mean, he can do that. Tha?s possible. Right?

Right. I think right now he could
do pretty much anything he wanted.

Why? What do you mean?

Well, The Elders have sensed a
major surge in demonic activity,

and they think that evil is
organizing under a new leader.

Oh. Tha?s just great because the last
time Cole was the leader of the underworld,

he took Phoebe as his queen and we were
completely blind- sided by it that time, too.

Oh, my god. Tha?s why she didn't
want me to try to vanquish him.

She was talking this
morning about being tempted?

She was trying to warn us,
and we didn't even see it.

Ok. This just cannot be happening, people.

I mean, Phoebe would not do this to us.

I mean, it cannot, cannot, cannot be happening.

Ok. Le?s just calm down.

Ok. The last time Phoebe was evil,

she was under the influence
of her demonic pregnancy.

So what? You're saying that
you think she's pregnant again?

No! I just think that maybe
we're underestimating her.

Maybe there's something that we're missing.

We saw what we saw.

Ok. Well, maybe she was under a spell,

or-- or maybe there was some
information that she wanted

and she was using sex as a tool?

Ok. I like the sound of that.

Slutty and manipulative.

Tha?s better than evil any day.

So, le?s not panic.

Le?s talk to Phoebe and give her a
chance to explain wha?s going on.

By the way, Darryl called.

She's not ready yet.

The Judge won't wait.

Paige?

Oh. Hey, guys. What took ya so long?

Coming Darryl?

I wouldn't have to hurt you if
you'd stop trying to get away.

What happened?

I
-- I mistook her for the other one.

And-- and I said too much.

I thought I'd bring her here
until the end of the operation.

Ah. Good thinking.

Yeah.

Well, as much fun as this has been...

I'm sorry, Phoebe, but Dex is
right, I can't let you leave.

Leo?

Save your voice. This place
is magically protected.

I can't have you people
sensing what I doing in here

and now...all the windows
and doors are blocked.

And please, sweetie, just trust me on this one.

I don't want you getting hurt trying to escape.

All right. Don't call me "sweetie".

You can't hold a person prisoner
and then call them "Sweetie".

Oh...You know...

I didn't intend this.

I just can't have you
running off to your sisters

and protecting The Nexus. Ok?

It is way too important to us.

Wait. The Nexus?

Dex didn't tell you about that?

No...no, he didn't.

He just told me you were trying
to re- organize the underworld.

Don't be mad.

I only want the Nexus so that you can
come back to evil and we can be together.

I'm so sorry I had to involve your work.

I just needed you distracted

while I ruined Piper's
club and put Paige in jail.

Paige is in jail?

Listen.

I'd love to stay and chat
but all things considered,

I need to speed up my plan.

Look, Cole, my sister's are
gonna realize that I'm missing

and Leo is gonna try to
sense me and when he can't,

they're gonna come straight to you.

Look, thanks for the concern,

but I think I've got my bases covered.

I knew you'd want me again.

Ignore her.

Oh...my god.

Oh, no. Not god. Kaia.

Just listen to her voice.

You're sick. You know that?

You need help. I mean,
are you sleeping with me?

I mean, her-- wit--

You're sick, you know that?

You need help.

Good.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Excellent. Come on, Kaia.

Ooh, I'm gonna need this.

There's some leftover
Chinese food in the fridge.

So if you don't want me, then what do you want?

I want you to go to Phoebe's house
and pretend to be her for a while.

Do your job well, and you'll be amply rewarded.

For a while? Why not just get rid of her,

and I could take her place forever?

Aside from the fact that I love
her, Phoebe is a Charmed One.

She's protected by her powers.

You can't just kill her,

so don't get any silly ideas
and stop playing with your hair!

Phoebe's more sophisticated than that.

Now, go to the house and lay low for a while.

I just need a little time to speed things up.

Did you sustain your injuries in
an accident with Paige Matthews?

Um...yeah. I guess that was her name.

What are you, a lawyer?

Yeah. That and other things.

What?

Sorry. Nothing personal.

Hi, Piper.

Don't you "Hi, Piper" me. I saw you!

I thought you were gonna be calm?

I am calm.

You saw me what?

Don't act like you don't
know what I'm talking about.

No, uh, trust me, i?s not an act.

We saw you...making out with Cole.

Ok. Well, tha?s just not
possible, you see, because...

I'm pretty sure that I hate Cole. Right?

Phoebe! I am pregnant, I am
emotional, and I am freaking out.

And if you are back together
with Cole then that is just fine,

but do not deny what I just saw.

All right. Then, uh...
I'm back together with Cole.

What?

What? How can you say that?

Well, I thought you said it was fine?

Well, I didn't mean it, and for go?s sakes,

the man mummified you.

Whoa. Seriously?

Ok. Something's not right.

Her memory seems gone.

Ok. Tha?s a good sign.

Now, Phoebe, try and focus.

Does Cole have you under some kind of spell?

Maybe.

Maybe. Maybe is good.
Because magic we can fight.

Lust, desperation, insanity, we cannot fight,

but magic we can fight.

Unless you've used your powers for evil.

Which you haven't. Have you?

No! No, I don't think so,

and that would be the worst thing ever, right?

Well, yeah. We couldn't
bring you back from that.

Ok. So, this is what we have to do.

You have to take away my
powers so I don't misuse them.

Yes! She's not evil. You're not evil.

So you think Cole has you under his control?

Well, yeah, and why else
would I have kissed Cole?

Oh, my god. What has he done to me?

Oh, no, honey. I?s gonna be ok.

I?s gonna be ok once you take away my powers.

You know, just to be safe.

Piper, if you take away her powers,

she's gonna be really vulnerable.

But you guys can protect me, right?

Well, I don't know.

If Cole is re- organizing the underworld,

you're gonna need the power of three.

No. As long as we're the ones that take it way,

we can bring it back,

but if Cole's got Phoebe under his control...

Yes. She's right. I am my own worst enemy.

The sooner we weaken me the better.

This witch's power cannot fight

the lure of evil magic's might.

Before misuse lands her in hell,

Remove the powers of Phoebe Halliwell.

Well, it wasn't my best work,

but it shoul?ve done the trick. Are you ok?

How do you feel?

Um...fine?

So, the spell worked?

Why wouldn't it?

You know, maybe you should try it out.

Try levitating.

What are you doing?

What?

Well, I just thought I'd try everything.

So, you can't levitate?

No. Apparently not.

That means the spell worked, right?

I don't know. You're still kinda weird.

Maybe the spell had a side effect?

Or maybe I just feel sick
because I had to kiss Cole.

Ah. Tha?s my girl.

Yeah. Maybe I need to go
and rest for a little while.

You know?

Tha?s a good idea.

Ok, honey. Why don't you just
lay down for a little while?

Do you want some tea or something?

Tea sounds great.

Tea. Yes.

Tea. Who drinks tea?

Knife in the panty drawer. My kind of girl.

Poor little witchy lost her powers.

I should just put you out of your misery.

What are you doing here?

I thought I should tell you that they know

you're trying to re- organize the underworld.

I didn't ask you to report to me.

What were you doing to Phoebe?

Well, she's lying in the middle of the room.

I was making sure she's ok.

Since when have you been
worried about her well- being?

Since she means so much to you.

What? Do you actually think I'd
be stupid enough to hurt her?

That wouldn't make you happy, baby,

and you know all I wanna do is make you happy.

If you want to make me happy,
go do the job I asked you to do.

Fine, bossy boots. Whatever gets you off.

And when the times comes, make sure
that Piper goes to the bail bondsman.

She'll refuse at first,
but you can convince her.

The bail bondsman?

You'll figure it out.

Now go.

What?

You ok?

Phoebe?

Didn't you hear me knocking?

No! I was listening to music to help me relax.

Why was the door locked?

Uh, that was Paige on the phone,

things just got a whole lot worse.

How did she die?

I thought it was just a concussion.

The doctors think there was
a blood clot in her brain.

I?s all my fault.

No, it isn't.

Yeah. It is. I killed her.

No, you didn't. Cole did.

What?

Look, I can't prove it,

but we found out that he has Phoebe
under some kind of mind control,

which means he's probably behind all of this.

That evil bastard.

He's killing innocent people.

All right. Le?s get you outta here.

Come on. Open this thing up.

I?s not gonna be so easy.

Why?

When the other driver died,

the judge charged Paige
with vehicular homicide.

He set the bail at $50, 000.

Mmm.

Oh, my god.

Where are we gonna get that kind of money?

I?s after 6:00. The banks aren't even open.

Bail bondsman.

We'll just go to a bail bondsman.

Or you could just go. Do
that light thing that you do.

I will try to cover for you.

What about your job?

Doesn't matter.

You know, I shoul?ve believed
you in the first place.

I will cover for you.

No! Because if they figure
out that Paige is gone,

she'll be in even more trouble.
We'll go to a bail bondsman.

Tha?s what they're there for.

Ok. You may be right, but you don't
have to be so cheerful about it.

I'm just saying we can't
leave Paige in jail overnight.

You know, tha?s exactly what Cole wants.

I'm sure.

For that kind of bail, you're gonna
need some heavy- duty collateral.

We can't use the club 'cause i?s...

you know?

Then we'll have to use the house.

All right. This will cover the 50, 000 bail.

Sign here and here.

And, uh, I'm gonna need to hold on
to the grant deed to your house.

You'll get it back when the
jailbird shows up for court.

Oh, i?ll be fine. Paige won't skip bail.

All right. Just, uh, sign there.

This doesn't feel right.

Ah, well, it never does, lady.

It never does.

There's the receipt.

Hold on to it.

Tha?s it.

Your sister shows up for
court, you pay me back.

Plus...10%.

Le?s go make this worth our while.

Ok, people. Le?s move.

The sooner we destroy Cole's headquarters,

the sooner I feel better
'bout this whole damn day.

Piper, we've got a bit of a situation in here.

Oops. I knew I forgot something.

My mother always warned me about
protecting my house from orbing.

Your house?

Yes.

You signed it...I have it.

You could take me to court and
try to evict me, but by then...

i?ll be too late.

Too late for what?

Cole, I don't know what you think you're doing,

but we have the paperwork that says the
house is ours unless Paige forfeits bail.

Correction...

I have the paperwork.

Phoebe, wha?s going on?

Oh...d- dear.

I don't even get one little thank- you kiss?

You did well, and you'll be
paid for your efforts later.

Is this what a girl has to do to
get a little attention around here?

She hates you.

You said it yourself.

So why fight for her when
I'm here for the taking?

You know, Kaia, I haven't killed you yet
because I find you mildly entertaining,

but soon the real Phoebe will be by my side.

Now, I'm not too sure that
she'll feel the same way,

so, in interest of survival,

I suggest you make yourself scarce.

Or maybe I'll just make her 'scarce'.

I said something about "hell"
and I rhymed it with "Halliwell".

How could you not keep a copy of the spell
you used to take away our sister's powers?

It was a crappy spell. Ok?

So I left it in the house. All right?

Forgive me for not anticipating
the demonic foreclosure.

What does he want in the house anyway?

Is he after the Book of Shadows?

I still can't sense Phoebe.

Oh, god. Do you think she's even still alive?

Cole wouldn't kill her. I don't think.

What about floozy- Phoebe?

Maybe she's got something up her sleeve.

Are you trying to help,

or are you just gonna ramble?

I'm just gonna ramble!

All right. Paige, tha?s enough.
Piper, you need to work on the spell.

If Phoebe is still alive,
she's gonna need her powers.

You don't deserve him.

How many times do I have to
tell you I don't want him?

I want the real Phoebe.

I love the real Phoebe.

You'll never be as good as the real Phoebe!

What do you think, witch?

Am I as good as you?

Or better?

Ok. All right.

Look, I- I- I- I'm sure we can talk about this.

I don't think so.

See, I'm more of a looker than a talker.

Oh, you're blonde. I should have known.

This is gonna be fun.

Your powers!

You were right. That was fun.

We're really sorry. We're sorry.

Are you ok?

I?s ok. I?s ok. I'm ok. I'm not mad.

Well, maybe I'm a little bit mad.

I mean, what took you guys so long
and what happened to my powers?

Uh, well, she looked like you.

And at the hospital you said you were tempted

and that you didn't want us to vanquish him.

Then we saw you making out with Cole
and we all got a little panicky.

Excuse me.

Did you really think I
was making out with Cole?

We mentioned we were sorry?

You guys! Ok.

Well, I'm assuming, since you're
standing out on the street,

that means Cole's in the house.

Yeah, but we don't know why.

He wants The Nexus.

Oh, no, he does not.

Wait. Didn't I read about
that in the book of shadows?

Isn't that what made you evil before?

How does he know about that?

He knows everything about us.

Ok. Look.

If he wants its power, he's
gonna have to open the earth,

under the basement, and
take The Shadow into him.

Ok. So, how do we stop him?

Well, we can't, but once he has The Shadow,

there is a spell that can
send it back into the earth

and hopefully take Cole with him.

Yeah, but it has to be said
over The Nexus in the basement.

Great.

There's only a whole load
of demons in the house

and a force- field keeping us out.

But the one good thing about
Cole's little girlfriend,

who is dead by the way.

She looks just like me.

Wait a second.

So you're gonna pretend to
be her pretending to be you?

If you go in there, you'll be vulnerable.

To turning evil?

I'm pretty sure tha?s his plan.

Look. You guys underestimated
me once already today.

Please don't do it again.

She twirled her hair.

A lot.

She twirled her hair. Like this?

Ok. I'm going in.

Hey, baby. Wanna escort a girl inside?

Kaia, are you still playing good witch?

I?s the way the big man likes it.

Sick.

Hi, boys. Did you miss me?

All right. The entertainmen?s here.

Hey! Sorry.

I'm just, you know, saving the goods for Cole.

Step aside and let a lady by?

You're no lady, Kaia, and
the boss sent you away.

Yeah, but he didn't mean it.

Come on, let me past.

I'll let you past if you can
drop that witch act right now.

...adai necral. Daya intay layok.

Natum adai necral daya intay layok.

Natum adai necral daya intay layok.

I'm so happy you came.

I am light. I am one too strong to fight.

Oh, don't fight it, Phoebe. Let evil take you.

Return to dark, where shadows dwell,
you can't have this Halliwell.

I?s no use, Phoebe.

So go away and leave my sight and
take with you this endless night.

My sweet Phoebe...

I don't know how you did it...

how you got past the
force- field, past the guards...

but I love that you did.

I?s that fight that made me fall
in love with you in the first place.

I thought you were dead.

So did I for a minute there.

But now that I know that the
earth can't even hold me,

I guess I'll just call
The Shadow and try again.

You could do that.

Hell, you could even turn me evil again.

But you will never win,

because I'll never come back to you.

You just don't get it, Cole, do you?

I thought you were dead, and I felt nothing.

No pain, no love, nothing.

I'm free.

And when we do vanquish you, and we will,

I'll never look back.

Ok, where are they? Where are the demons?

Sorry, my sweeties, but they're all dead.

You didn't even leave us one?

Well, there's one left.
Believe me, there is one left.

But...I was able to get back the house

and keep Cole from getting The Nexus.

Whew. What about your job?

And my club?

I think you can use your magic to
reverse Cole's consequence- free.

Well, thank the lord for that.

Won't reverse everything, though.

What about the woman he killed?

I promise you he won't get away with that.

You asked for me?

You're Kaia's friend?

Used to be.

She tell you what I want?

You mean this?

Yeah, tha?s it.

Just tell me what you want, baby.

Tha?s what I want, baby.
