Charmed (1998–2006): Season 6, Episode 21 - Witch Wars - full transcript

CORR:
Welcome back to Witch Wars.

Tonight, on a very special episode,
you'll see the ultimate battle

when the gamemasters themselves
take on not just any witches,

but the legendary Charmed Ones.

It'll be winner takes all,

and we will take all.
Their lives, their powers,

and last but not least,
their progeny.

Sorry I'm late. I'm not moving
real fast these days.

Are you sure you don't wanna be
born any time soon already?

CHRIS: Don't be in such a hurry.
-I hate to rush things,

but what do you say we get this
family meeting started?



You know, you could cut back
on those triple lattes a little bit.

Hey, where's Leo?

He's on the witch killer path,

which you all should be
focusing on as well.

We actually have bigger things
to deal with, Gideon.

Like trying to figure out
who's after Wyatt.

And I think I might
have an angle on that.

-You found the demon?
-It may not be a demon.

Look, we've relied on magic
all this time and it's gotten us nowhere.

And since I can't rely on
my premonitions to help,

I've had to resort to statistics.

-Statistics?
PHOEBE: Yes.

Did you know that 50 percent
of violent crimes

are perpetrated by
someone the victim knew?



So don't you see?

Whoever turns Wyatt evil
might actually be

someone we know
or even care about.

A mortal? Impossible.

Really? Because the crime reporter
at the newspaper

said that it's usually someone
you least expect.

All right, now you're
making me nervous.

Phoebe, this theory might make
sense in the lives of normal people,

but you aren't normal people.

There's an entire underworld
of demons out there

who want you dead,
and today is no exception,

which brings me back
to the witch killer.

Hold up, Phoebe's
onto something here.

I mean, we've practically overturned
every demonic stone, right?

-At least this is new.
GIDEON: I don't believe this.

Someone is killing witches,

possibly as we speak.
How is that not your only priority?

Because we're running out of time.

What do you mean? Why?

-I should have told you sooner.
-Told us what?

What happens to Wyatt
happens before I'm born.

-What?
-And you're just telling us this now?

I thought I'd given myself
enough time. I'm so sorry.

Then how do we know
that this witch killer

isn't the one that's after Wyatt?

Given this new information,
it seems to time out properly.

Okay, it's time
to divide and conquer.

Paige and Chris,
you help Leo with the witch killer.

I'm gonna go chase my theory.
And, Piper, you don't worry.

We're gonna find
this guy, I promise.

Is something wrong, sir?

Yes, as a matter of fact, there is.

I think they're just about
to figure us out.

[SCREAMS]

What'd I ever do to you?

You're sure he's a demon, right?

That give you the right to commit
unprovoked violence against me?

[SCREAMS]

Tell us everything about the witches
that were murdered.

I don't know anything, I swear.

[SCREAMS]

Oh... Oh, the witches.

Well, the one last night,
she put on a great show.

She shot fire from her hands
and she put up a great fight.

[SCREAMS]

Why did you just do that?
He was just starting to talk.

He was lying. A, there was no witch
murdered last night, and B...

Another witch was killed last night.

-You were saying?
-That's a coincidence.

There's no way he could have
been there to see that.

Did she shoot fire
out of her hands?

Yeah, how did you know?

More to the point, how did he know?

-Huh?
-Maybe he was working for

an upper-level demon.

Oh, right, we just happened to trap
the apprentice to the exact demon

that we're trying to catch
and know nothing about.

-What are we talking about?
-Paige vanquished our lucky break.

-You don't know that.
-What do we know?

Well, we know that one demon can't
possibly be doing all of these killings,

so I'm thinking that someone
is getting demons to join forces.

You think somebody
is trying to organize the underworld?

Seems like it. And unfortunately,
I seem to be the only person

concerned about the fact
that Phoebe is out there,

roaming around in the world
without any powers.

Without her active powers.
She can still cast spells.

PAIGE: Right, so when
a demon attacks her,

let's hope that Phoebe can come up
with a little rhyme just in time.

No, no, no. I'm gonna go
bring her some potions.

-Well, what should we do?
-Pray that she doesn't get attacked.

DEMON: And what do I get out of it?
-Fame, glory,

the respect of the entire underworld.

And, of course,
the powers of the witch you kill.

If you win.

If I play, I'll win.

A demon of your considerable power,
we have no doubt.

As long as it's entertaining.

Just out of curiosity, how did you
come up with the idea anyway?

We can't take all the credit.

You'd think demons would
have invented reality television,

but somehow humans beat us to it.

Still, it's the best idea we ever stole.

And demons everywhere love
to watch. So if you're ready to play,

just draw your blood
and sign on the dotted line.

Draw my blood? Why?

So that your powers, should you for
any reason lose, will revert to us.

My powers? You gotta be kidding me.
There's no way I'm signing...

I thought you were planning to win.

And if you don't, you'll be dead.
You won't need your powers.

But it doesn't mean
I want you to have them.

It's quite a racket
you got going on here.

Get all these guys to sign
their powers over to you,

and then risk their lives all for some
chance to kill some stupid witch?

No, the witch is not the point.
The point is fame. The point is...

Fortune. Yeah, I got it.

That may work on the silly morons
you have playing this game so far,

but it won't work on me.

Oh! If we don't get
an upper-level demon,

we will never collect
the powers we need.

We just have to be patient.
As the game gains in popularity,

more and more powerful demons
will want to play.

How do you know?

Because if human beings
are foaming at the mouth

to humiliate themselves on national
television, and they are,

then demons are an easy mark.

Upper-level humans?

Donald Trump has his own show.

Just be patient, my love.

And together,
we'll rule the underworld.

GIDEON:
It's an old goal, but a good one.

Disarm and I will reveal myself.

-What is that, an elder?
-Kill him.

What I have to offer

is far better than anything
my death will ever bring you.

Hi, I'm sorry to bother you again.
You seem super busy.

-You're always super busy.
-That's why I chose crime beat.

So many bad guys,
I knew I'd never be out of work.

That's funny. You are funny.

Um, thanks for those statistics,
they really helped me.

-Are you flirting with me?
-What?

When a woman who looks like you
flirts with me,

it means they want something.

Okay. Yeah, you got me.

Um, I'm interested in dedicating
a month of my column

to the protection of our children.

And I was sort of wondering,
you know, if something,

God forbid, were to happen
to my nephew Wyatt,

what do you think the police might do
to try to figure out who did it?

-They'd make a flow chart.
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry, a what?

You do realize that
I'm on a deadline here, right?

Should I go back to the flirting?

-I guess I could use some coffee.
-That's great.

You're great. I'm buying.

-Oh, my God.
KYLE: What?

You gotta just give me one second.

Have you lost your mind?

No, another witch
was killed last night.

-Oh, no.
-Oh, yes.

And she had active powers.

So I need you to go home
where I can keep an eye on you.

Paige, you're my baby sister,
not my babysitter.

Oh, that's clever. You're very clever.

I'm glad while I'm panicking
you have the time to be clever.

Okay, it's sweet that you're worried.
I'm fine, and have a lot of work to do.

-Do your work from home.
-I can't do it from home

because Kyle Donte is not at home.

Who's Kyle Donte?
Is this about a guy?

No, it's not about a guy,
it's about a reporter.

One who knows everything there is
to know about criminal investigation.

Since we don't have Darryl's help
anymore, he's the only resource I have.

Fine. Explosive, acid, smoke bomb.
Use them.

Thanks, Mom.

Okay, where were we?

Oh, you were flirting with me poorly,

and I was helping you
find your bad guy.

If I could find you through
my demonic contacts,

then how long do you think it'll be
before the Charmed Ones

find you and shut you down?

They know about the witch killings,
so it's really only a matter of time.

And you're here to warn us?

No, I'm here to help you.

Now, why don't I believe that?

I need the Charmed Ones
distracted for a while

whilst I accomplish
an important mission.

I thought your game might be
the perfect thing.

You want us to target
the Charmed Ones?

No, I want you to use them.

Make them your next stunt,
if you will.

We'll plant a witch in their care,

have her be the next target
in your game.

Your contestants will have
to get past them to get to her.

Get past the power of three?

That's a suicide mission.
No one will sign up.

The power of three isn't a factor
because Piper is convalescing

at my school for the duration
of her pregnancy.

It would draw upper-level demons.

I don't trust him.

Why would an elder
sacrifice an innocent witch

or put the Charmed Ones
in danger?

I don't, and that's part of the deal.
There will be no blood drawn.

You will set up a series of tasks.

Have the demons... Oh, I don't know,

steal something from the witch
to begin with.

Let it escalate from there.

Steal something?

If you kill innocents,
or in any way harm Charmed Ones,

then your game will be over
and you will be dead.

-Understand?
-We don't take kindly to threats, Elder.

Or, um...

How would we, uh, put
the witch target into their care,

or, say, put them under surveillance?

Get the contestants ready.

Put a witch under non-lethal attack
and I'll take care of the rest.

The cameras?

-Clever.
-Thanks.

Don't disappoint me.

What's the matter with you?
Why do you trust him?

I don't. But with all the powers that
we'll get from the demons who sign up,

we'll have more than enough
to kill him when the time comes.

As well as the Charmed Ones.

[GROWLS AFFECTIONATELY]

So, what is it we're looking for?

Any demon powerful enough
to be organizing the underworld,

or any demon who might be running

some sort of training camp
for younger demons,

-or any demon that could be...
-So basically any demon.

Yeah.

This sucks, you know that?

We're running out of time
and we've got nothing,

repeat, nothing to go on.

We've faced worse.

What's worse than not knowing?

For over a year now,
I've been looking.

And you didn't know this deadline
was looming, but I did.

I knew every single day.

-That's why I was never able to relax.
-Why didn't you tell us?

Because I didn't wanna
get you involved.

I was trying to protect you.

Chris, we're your parents.

We're supposed to protect you,
not the other way around.

Hey, I got a new scrying crystal.

Amethyst. I thought we could use
the extra power boost.

What exactly are we scrying for?

Witches under attack.

I don't want any more getting killed.

And that includes my sister, who's
now determined to stay at the office

ever since your son
dropped his little bomb this morning.

I already said I was sorry.

And he shouldn't have to say it again.

All right, Dad.

Gideon, what are you doing here?
Is Piper okay?

Hardly.

Thanks to Phoebe's ludicrous theory,
everybody's a suspect in her mind.

She's terrorizing the entire school.

So you want me to talk to her?

I'd be eternally grateful.

GIDEON:
What are you scrying for?

Witches under attack.

PAIGE:
Ooh.

Got one, in the Mission.

You should both go. Hurry.

[GRUNTING]

No. Help!

That what you were hoping for?

[SCREAMS]

Hey, help me!

[SCREAMS]

Got it.

Damn it.

CHRIS: What the hell just happened?
-I don't know.

Wait, who are you?

We're the Charmed... One.

Come on, I'll take you
somewhere safe, okay?

Where are we?

It's okay, you're gonna be safe here.
What's your name, anyway?

I'm Tali.

How can I ever thank you guys
for saving me?

Okay, I don't think you need to
because I don't think we did.

I'm not even sure
they were after you.

Yeah, they were after your necklace.

Oh, my grandmother's amulet.

Amulet? Is it magical?
Does it have any power?

No. No, not at all.

This is all very strange.

Wait, this thing is powerless?
Then why did you want us to steal it?

It got the Charmed Ones involved,
didn't it?

So when do we get
our shot at them?

Be patient, this was only round one.

Stay tuned.

[LAUGHING AND CHATTERING]

[CHEERING]

Mrs. Winterbourne?
Hold it right there.

Well, hi, Wyatt. Hi, Piper.

Never mind that. I just wanted
you to know that Wyatt

will not be in your class tomorrow,
or ever again for that matter.

Why? Is there a problem?

A problem? You mean like when
Wyatt was playing with

that little girl at the Play-Doh table
this morning?

You mean Emily?
She's such a sweet, little psychic.

She stole his dough
right out of his hands.

And you did absolutely nothing.

Well, stole is a little harsh,
don't you think?

She's only two years old.

No, that's not the point.

What message is this sending him,
that people can just take from him?

That people can hurt him,

that grown adults will not be there
to protect him?

-Piper.
-What?

We need to talk.

Would you mind taking Wyatt for
a stroll just for a minute, please?

What?!

It's all right, go ahead.

I'll be right over there.
Come on, let's go.

Are you out of your mind?

Piper, do you realize you're driving
everybody nuts around here?

Well, I don't really care, because,
see, I'm trying to protect our son.

From who, his
"Mommy & Me" teacher?

Hey, how do you not know
that she's the one who's after him?

-If Phoebe's right...
-She's not.

How do you know?

Because why would anybody
we know want to turn Wyatt evil?

It just doesn't make any sense,
just like Gideon said.

How do you know it's not him?
Or us for that matter?

-Piper.
-No, I'm serious.

What if he saw what this life
did to us, and how hard it was,

and just decided to
take the easy way out.

-It's not what happened.
-How do you know?

Because Wyatt
is surrounded by love.

We love him,
whether we're together or not.

He's got a brother that risked
everything just to save his life.

Plus he's got two aunts who would
rather gouge out their own eyes

than see anything bad
happen to him.

[PIPER SIGHS]

Just promise me
we'll keep him safe.

I promise.

[PAIGE GASPS]

PAIGE:
That's him, the Brute Demon.

CHRIS: Okay, upper-level demons
with overwhelming physical strength.

They work alone, generally
crushing skulls of their victims.

You're lucky he wasn't after you.

Okay, this isn't making sense.

Are you sure that that amulet
did not have magical powers?

I'm positive.
It was just a family heirloom.

Do you have anything else
of your grandmother's?

Her wedding ring, why?

That's a great idea.
We can use it to scry for the amulet.

-Find out where the demon went.
-Okay, people, heads up.

I need your address books,
your phone books, all your books.

-Hi, I'm Phoebe.
-Hi.

This is Tali. She was attacked
by three upper-level demons today.

Wow, and you lived to tell about it?
Congratulations.

About those books?
I'm kind of in a hurry.

Phoebe, we actually need your help.

How bad was it?

Well, they stole
my grandmother's amulet.

Really, how powerful was it?
Could they use it for mind control?

Oh, no, it was just decorative.

Decorative.

TALI: Yeah, pretty much.
PHOEBE: Hmm.

Saving my nephew
or kleptomaniac demons?

I really need those books, guys.

-Pheeb.
-What? This is important.

I'm gonna draw a police flow chart
of everyone in Wyatt's life

who can possibly be a suspect
and I don't wanna forget anybody.

Fine, my book is in my bedroom.

Mom's is down in the kitchen.

-Great. I hope you find your amulet.
-Thank you.

I'll be at the office.

But please don't need me,

because I really think
I'm onto something here.

Stubborn little witch.

She's not playing along.

What if she finds us out?

-She won't.
-How are you gonna stop her?

Thanks for sharing.

Athames?

I thought we'd agreed
nobody would be hurt.

The weapons are part of the game.
It's how powers are taken.

Don't worry, only the players
will be using them on each other.

More dead demons?
Not a problem for me.

[IMITATES GIDEON]
More dead elders wouldn't be

a problem for us either.

-What do you want?
-This whole distraction

isn't working as well as I'd hoped,
especially not on Phoebe.

She's meeting with
the reporter again,

and I won't have him feeding her
any more information.

You want him dead?

No, of course not.
I want him out of the way.

How are we supposed to do that?

Be creative. Plant more cameras,
make him part of the game.

Use the Shapeshifter. I like him.

Still, he is a demon, which means
there's only so much we can control

in the risk department.

I expect you'll do your very best.

Oh!

Did he just give us an opening?

He must be more desperate
than we thought, which means

that maybe he won't shut us down
after the first witch dies.

DEMON 1: Come on, get in there.
DEMON 2: Oh, man.

Yeah! Ahh!

[CHUCKLES]

Next?

-Yeah!
-All right, finally.

[CHEERING]

Witch Wars, yeah!

-Witch Wars!
-Shh.

CORR: Welcome back to Witch Wars.
-Nobody shushes me.

[DEMON CACKLES]

You want battles,
you thirst for blood?

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Of course, that warlock won't be
seeing anything ever again, will he?

In round two, these three
upper-level demons

will again have to get past the
Charmed Ones to get the witch.

But this time they're not going
after her necklace,

they're going after her life.

Before we get started, let's introduce
our newest contestant.

He's a darklighter all the way
from the Northeast underworld.

-Good to have you with us.
-Good to be here.

Now remember,
your athames will absorb

the powers of your victims
as well as each other.

The last demon standing
will be awarded

all of the powers
collected at the end.

For the winner,

a serious power boost.

-For the losers, certain death.
-Ha!

CORR:
Oh, one more thing:

since the Shapeshifter
failed to get the witch's amulet

at the end of round one,
he must now take on the added risk

of confronting a Charmed One
directly. In this case, Phoebe.

Oh, great.

And the Brute Demon,
having won round one

by claiming the amulet, has won
the right to make the first move.

Yeah!

Now the players will enter
the confessional cave

to share their strategies
with the audience.

Let's watch.

One of the Charmed Ones is getting
ready to scry for the amulet, right?

To find me. Good.
I'll be waiting for her.

And when I take her out,
the witch will be mine.

It's suicide to go up
against a Charmed One.

But if I could persuade Phoebe
to invite me home with her,

she'd be leading me
right to the witch.

All I gotta do is bide my time,

wait for that stupid Brute
to get himself killed,

then make my move.

PHOEBE: Okay, so we have
the immediate family

and then the close friends
of the family. Who's next?

Anyone the child originally came
in contact with in the last six months.

Okay, but the child's been
in seclusion for the last six months.

So are we talking kids in the nursery,
and teachers?

And his mother's hairdresser,
or your handyman, or clergyman.

Okay, let's just say,
hypothetically speaking,

that the police
are running out of time.

They can't research everyone
the child's met in the last six months.

-Who do they focus on then?
-Immediate family.

They've ruled out
the immediate family.

Okay, I kind of preferred
the fake flirting to this.

Yeah, I'm sorry.
I just get very emotional

when things have to do
with my family.

Well, that's why the cops usually
do this part and not the parents.

Or the aunt.

Okay, so, what would
the cops do next?

It sounds to me like you're looking
for some kind of magic formula,

and there just isn't one.

Can't you just narrow it down
a little bit?

Well, statistically,
when it's not a crime of necessity,

you're looking at white men
between the ages of 25 and 50,

usually someone you'd least expect.

Maybe... Maybe even trust.

Think on that. I'll get coffee.

[GRUNTS]

Making any progress?

No, not yet. I thought you were
getting coffee.

I changed my mind.
If I have caffeine this late,

-I can't sleep.
-Not gonna sleep until I figure this out.

Hey, how's it going here?

Paige and Tali went
to get her grandmother's ring.

How's Mom doing?

She's scared.

She's holding up.

And how are you doing?

About the same.

-Got it.
-So, what are you planning to do

when you find them?

I mean, could this be
some kind of trap?

Honey, it can always be
some kind of a trap.

You shouldn't go alone.

He's right, Paige.
If these are the witch killers...

-I got it.
-Why don't you guys go with her?

If they wanted to kill me,

they would have done it
when they had the chance. Right?

No, I'm sorry.
I can't leave you unprotected.

I'll stay.

Come on.

Lambs to the slaughter.

Okay, that looks like a trap.

Let's get out of here.

[GRUNTING]

[LAUGHING]

Told you he'd eat it.

That's gonna leave a mark.

LEO:
What's that?

That's us.

Then you gotta keep going. Is there
any place where you can go...?

Okay, what's going on?

[SCREAMING]

Chris.

[CHEERING]

I win, you lose.

DEMONS:
Darklighter! Darklighter! Darklighter!

I am so sorry,
I didn't even see him coming.

It's okay, it's not your fault.
We're being watched.

What?

Sons of bitches,
where are the cameras?

What cameras?

There's some live feed going on
with the crystals.

Yeah, except for I think they cut it off.
I'm not seeing anything.

-Well, who?
-I don't know.

I vanquished the Brute Demon
before I could ask him.

What is this, some kind of game?

Actually, it might be.

What are you talking about?

Well, I heard something,
when I was down in the underworld.

-But I thought it was a rumor.
-You thought what was a rumor?

Well, that there was this
demonic game show.

Kind of like Survivor
but only for demons.

And you didn't tell us this why?

Because I didn't think
it was relevant.

That's your theme song
of today, did you notice?

Paige.

Look, I'm sorry.
Well, at least it explains

how the demon we trapped today
knew that the witch died.

He was watching it on TV.
Pretty sick.

No sicker than any other
reality TV show.

-I'm just saying.
-Except this one's about

killing witches for entertainment.

Yeah, we have to get out of here
because they are listening to us.

We're gonna find you.

We need more powers, fast.

Don't worry. Cue the confessional.

One demon down, one to go.

All I have to do is wait for Phoebe
to kill the Shapeshifter.

Then I can make my move.

What if she doesn't?

I mean, why wait? Why not just
eliminate the competition yourself?

DARKLIGHTER:
Good point.

A reality what?
You have got to be kidding me.

All right. I'll be home
as soon as I can.

-Is something wrong?
-Uh, kind of.

Listen, thanks. I have to get going.

I was having a really good time.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Well, thanks again for all your help.
Maybe we can talk more tomorrow.

Or since you're heading home,
I could just come with you.

I'm sorry?

To check out your place. Look for any,
you know, easy entry points.

I mean, most bad guys
usually attack at home.

Are you sure about that?
I think I read that...

I'm the expert, right?

So let me just come home with you,
make sure everything is all right.

Yeah. Well, that's not gonna happen.

See, I'm not going home.

I, uh, have to go somewhere else...

Take me to your house, witch. Now!

[GRUNTING]

Chris! Leo!

[SCREAMS]

Phoebe.

You still alive?

[GROANING]

Oh, come on.

Missed by that much.

The witch is dead,
and I'm the last demon standing.

That's the game, my friends,
that is the game.

Well, not quite.

What?

As you know, all good reality TV
shows have one final twist.

That's a cheat.

Now, it's our turn to play.

[CHEERING]

You gotta admit, it's a good twist.

[GASPS]

PAIGE:
Found it.

Power-sucking athame.

And?

PAIGE:
Well, that's it.

It doesn't say anything about
what kind of demon uses it

or what the "WW" stands for?

-No.
-Well, that's not a big help.

Okay. Well, we could scry with
the athame or the crystal thingy.

-No, I tried.
-How about a return-to-sender spell?

[PAIGE SIGHS]

Tried. Our magic is blocked.

PHOEBE:
So then we've got nothing.

Yes, we have nothing
but a houseful of cameras

and an underworld full of voyeurs.

Piper, why don't you go relax?
We can take it from here.

No, I'm fine. I mean... And relax?
Relax where? We're being watched.

Not here, not at magic school
they're not.

Leo's right. You should go lay down.
We've got it under control.

You don't touch me.
You're the reason I look like this.

You have to put a stop to this.

You're missing the bigger picture.

-Sir, another witch is dead.
-That wasn't supposed to happen.

You're dealing with demons,
what did you expect?

Sacrifices must be made
for the greater good.

How far are you willing to go?
Phoebe was nearly killed.

No, she wasn't. She's strong.

She protected herself
as I knew she would.

They weren't supposed to
go after the Charmed Ones.

Yes, they were.
That was my plan all along.

To get the gamesmasters
to try to kill the Charmed Ones.

-But why?
-To get them off my trail.

To get them believing
that it's the gamemasters

who are after Wyatt, as if they've
been after him all along.

What if they succeed?
What if they kill the sisters?

I have no intention of letting
that happen.

I only want Wyatt eliminated,
not them.

I think I might have found something
that can help.

It's the crystal thingy.

It's an ancient form
of magical voyeurism.

The Ronyx crystal.
It predates even the crystal ball.

Our demon friends must have found
a way to put a new spin on an old idea.

Wait a minute.

It's got an incantation to activate it.

[GAME SHOW MUSIC PLAYS]

CORR:
Welcome back to Witch Wars.

Tonight, on a very special episode,
you'll see the ultimate battle

when the gamemasters themselves
take on not just any witches,

but the legendary Charmed Ones.

It'll be winner takes all,

and we will take all.
Their lives, their powers,

and last but not least,
their progeny.

That's what their show is about,
killing us?

Then either me or Wyatt.

It has to be Wyatt. Which means...

Oh, yes, this makes perfect sense.

What about any of this
make perfect sense?

GIDEON:
Don't you see?

These gamesmasters are the demons
you've been looking for all along.

The ones who are after Wyatt.

-What?
-They've been collecting powers,

hoping to gain enough
to be able to collect yours.

And then get Wyatt's.

Well, it kind of fits in
with Phoebe's theory then.

Right? We don't know who they are
but they know who we are.

I'm gonna kill them.

No, Leo, you're an elder now.
Nonviolent, remember?

Watch me.

We're gonna have to find them first.

Do you think we could trace
the signal back to them?

No, not without Piper.
I think they're too strong already.

No, we don't need Piper.

Because we have this.

And they're not gonna kill us on TV.

We're gonna kill them.

What if they never go back?

They will. If there's one thing I know
about the Charmed Ones,

they never run away from a fight.

CHRIS:
What exactly are we looking for?

Anything that will let us vanquish them
without the power of three.

It's showtime.

Hi.

[GROWLS]

Anybody wanna play a game?

When are they coming back?

[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMS]

Now that's good television.
Give me the athame.

Are you sure about this?

It's for Wyatt.

Feels good to have powers again.

Give him hell.

[CHEERING]

This game's over.

I couldn't agree more.

[SCREAMS]

[DEMONS GROANING]

See what happens when you
make a play for our baby?

Who wants to play next?

What's the matter? Scared of me?

Well, are you? Are you?

[SCREAMING]

Looks like your show's
just been canceled.

-Where's Phoebe?
-That's a good question.

God, that was great.

I wanna kill somebody else.
Chris, find me another demon to kill.

We gotta get these powers out.

You're the one who wanted me
to have a power, remember?

Yeah, not a demonic power.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Oh, poor little powerless Phoebe,
she can't even take care of herself.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I admit it, I was... I was wrong.

Would you mind repeating that,
please?

I'm sorry, I was wrong.

I clearly underestimated you.

You are very powerful.

That's all I wanted to hear.
Now who wants to stab me?

-What?
-The only way to get the powers out.

Come on, I dare you.

I double dare you.
I triple dare you. I...

Ugh! I'll stab her.
Leo, be ready to heal?

PIPER: You stabbed her?
-Oh, you would have too.

She was pretty obnoxious.

Yeah, demonic powers
on an empty stomach.

-Not such a good thing.
-No, it was a great thing.

-You saved Wyatt.
PHOEBE: We all did.

So we're 100 percent certain
these were the demons

we were looking for all along?

To our nephew,
may he always be safe.

I can't believe it's finally over.

Believe it. You just saved the future.

WYATT: Mom.
-Yeah, I know.

Sigmund, try to relax.
We were successful today.

They're off our trail.

Even better, their guard is down,
which makes it that much easier

to eliminate the threat.

His name is Wyatt.

I'm sorry?

What if Phoebe was right?

What if future-Wyatt
wasn't turned evil by a demon?

He's just an innocent baby.

What if, in trying to eliminate
a threat,

we are actually creating a monster?

That's such a tender age
to be betrayed

by those who have
sworn to protect you.

What if that's what turns him?

It's possible. Anything is possible.
But armed with this future knowledge,

we have to try to make sure
that it doesn't happen this time.

The only way to be sure
is to stop this now.

Sigmund! This child
should never have been born.

He is enormously dangerous.

Why am I the only one who seems
to understand that?

That's a very good question, sir.

And with all due respect, it's why
I can't let you go through with this.

I'm going to tell the sisters the truth.

[GASPING AND GURGLING]

I'm sorry, old friend.

But this too is for the greater good.

Forgive me.
