Charmed (1998–2006): Season 7, Episode 22 - Something Wicca This Way Goes - full transcript

Hey, what's going on?

Hi, Daddy.

Hey, sweetie.

Previously on "Charmed"...

Face down on the ground! Now!

It's Sheridan.

I told you Brody did something to her.

Sheridan's back.

What?

I know you've had to struggle with this,
with how far you can go to help the sisters.

It's our family or theirs.



As I said before, you are either
with me on this or you're against me.

I'm taking some vacation time
to be with my family.

Have a nice vacation.

I want more than just to find
The Nexus now,

I want to release The Shadow.
Harness its ultimate power.

I'm going to shake them to their core.

Make them more vulnerable
than they've ever been.

Where's the book?

Zankou.

Yeah, but how did he get it?

Doesn't matter. He's got it now.

The question is, what's he going to do with it?

Now the fun really begins.

Okay, how do we know Zankou's
not here waiting for us?



Because Magic School's protected
from him, that's how.

Leo?

Still, now that Zankou's got the Book of Shadows

He can't use all of its powers,
not without ours. Leo!

No, but he could use it to get our powers.
I mean, it's been done before, right?

Look, as long as we're here, we're safe.

What's wrong?

How are the boys?

They're fine.
They're sleeping. Why?

Uh, Zankou's got the Book of Shadows.

What?
How?

Well, as soon as we figure that out,
we'll let you know.

He broke us down.

Okay, but how does that explain -

Because our powers are tied to the Book
and our emotions are tied to our powers,

so by making us vulnerable, he...

He made the Book vulnerable, too.

I guess he knew us a little better than we thought.

The question is, what is he really after?

What he's always after... power.

The Nexus.

Ah, it's good to be back.

Charmed
"Something Wicca This Way Goes"

There we go.

How close are we?

We'd be a lot closer if we could use
our powers to open it.

The nexus will view that as a threat,
destroy us all.

Remember it's neither good nor evil.

It's just sheer unadulterated power,

the kind The Charmed Ones have
been harboring for far too long.

Now it's my turn to play.

What'll be your first move...

once you possess it, I mean?

Oh, I don't know, uh...

I'll have full access to the Book of Shadows,
of course, which means...

I'll have ultimate power.

I hope I don't get bored.

The Nexus, milord.

Step back.

Natum adai necral...

daya intay layok!

It is done.

What are your orders?

Ah!

What happened?

The sisters...

they cast it out of me with a spell.

From the Magic School?
Impossible.

Nothing's impossible there!

Where are you going?

To the Book of Shadows...

to find a way to stop them!

I think it worked.

How do you know?

Well, because if he'd already tapped into The Nexus,
he would have broken in by now.

Good thing you remembered that spell.

Well, we can't just keep casting it because he's
gonna figure out a way around it sooner or later.

Well, we have to get the book back before he does.

Okay. Any ideas?

Oh, I was hoping you'd have some.

Me?
Why me?

Well, because you're the only one
who still has any confidence around here.

Yeah, well,
that's just 'cause I'm a good actor.

Well, I hope you can fool the Book because
unless we get our confidence back and fast...

it may not let us get it back.

And if Zankou gets The Nexus
first, there won't even be a point of trying.

Well, we can't let that happen.

I mean, if he succeeds, then everything we've done in the
last seven years means nothing, and I'm not willing to live with that.

Well, you might not have to.

Then we go down fighting.

Well, which brings us back
to how do we stop him?

Okay, let's think about this for a second.

We know Zankou as well as he knows us, right?

Yeah. So?

So, what is the one thing that Zankou
wants more than the Nexus?

Our heads on a platter?

Exactly. He hates us.
He wants to kill us.

So why don't we give him a reason,

you know, piss him off enough
so that the focus is off The Nexus and onto us?

It could buy us time to get the Book back.
It just might work.

Yeah, unless he kills us first.

You Inspector Sheridan?

Yeah. Who are you?

Agent Keyes, Homeland Security.

You called, didn't you?

Yes.
Yes, I just was not expecting you until tomorrow.

Let's just say I was anxious
to hear what you had to say.

All right...

what do you know about what
happened to your Agent Brody?

You tell me.

He disappeared,
and I think I know who knows why...

the same people who probably know
what happened to three other cops

who were either killed or mysteriously disappeared
in the past seven years:

Inspectors Trudeau, Rodriguez, and Davidson.

Then there are all the civilian cases, including one
of their own sisters... Prue Halliwell.

That's it?

"That's it"? Are you kidding?
What? You need more?

Okay, how about I think they tried to
make me disappear, too?

They put me in a coma,
tried to get me to forget what I knew about them.

Actually, Brody's the one who put you in the coma...
on my orders.

What?

We knew they knew you were onto them.
We didn't want you messing up our investigation.

How dare you?

Easy, Inspector.
This is bigger than you think, all right?

Much bigger.
Besides, I am here, aren't I?

What with Brody's tranq gun?

No, with answers,
the ones you've been looking for.

Okay.

Do you believe in the paranormal, Inspector,

that there may be forces,
powers that exist beyond our own?

That's what the Halliwells are involved in and we want
blow the doors wide open on that little secret of theirs.

What are you looking for?

A reversal spell to stop them from keeping me from The Nexus.

But even if you find one, it might not work.

You said yourself that without full
access to the Book that it...

I know what I said.
There's a potion.

Why not just keep trying to take in The Nexus...

outlast them...

after all, they can't keep pulling it out of you...

timing it just right?

Sooner or later, you'll have the power long enough to break through
the protection of the magic school, then you can kill them.

You don't know them like I do.

You can't take them head-on.
It doesn't work.

That's how demons die...

but not this demon, not this time.

This is no time for personal vendettas.

I think your focus should be
The Nexus, not the witches.

Are you challenging me, Kahn?

You brought me on as your counsel.

I'm merely acting as such.

If you are displeased with me, then...

No. No, you have served me well
and will continue to do so.

And to that end, go to the kitchen
and bring me up some mandrake,

henbane, and some hemlock root.
I'm making a potion.

To do what?

To steal their powers.

There are other ways
of gaining full access to the Book of Shadows.

Wasn't there a confidence spell in the Book of Shadows?

Yeah.
Remember we cast it on that waiter at Quake?

Wow, Quake.
That was a long time ago.

Maybe we should cast it on ourselves.
We could use a little confidence.

Yeah, but that won't piss off Zankou.

No, but it might help us get the Book back.

What if we...

switched bodies with him instead?

Can't. He'd be in Magic School.

Ooh, right.

How about a love spell?
We could make him fall for one of us.

Sorry. I'm taken.

Yeah, well, I'm not.

Yeah, but you're not that desperate...

are you?

Well, those demons do have a
way of keeping you warm at night.

Yeah,
but that's only because they have fireballs.

"Hear secret thoughts...

stretch the imagination. "

What if we turn you into a banshee
again and turn you loose on him?

Ooh, too much screeching.
It's hard on my voice.

Hey, I have an idea.

What if we humiliated him and turned him into an animal,
like we did that one time to everyone at P3, remember?

That spell backfired.

Yeah, well, beggars can't be choosers.

Phoebe, Piper!
Come here. I think I got something.

What are they all doing here?

Reinforcements.

You knew, didn't you?

Knew about what?

About the Halliwells,
about who they really are.

Listen, now Sheridan, no.
I don't know what you're talking about.

The hell you don't, Morris. Were you gonna keep your
mouth shut, even if I got killed, huh?

Hey, Inspector, listen.

No, you listen to me!

The only reason why I'm not busting you right
now is because I can't prove that you really knew.

I can't believe that you didn't tell me, and I can't
believe that you let them put me in a coma.

Hey, hold it. I helped find you, okay?
I'm the one who saved you.

Look, you need to come in here,
Morris, and you need to help us.

"Us"?
Who's "us"?

Homeland Security... they're all over it.
It's a federal case now.

Is something wrong?

No.

Morris, you can't run from this anymore,
and you can't protect them anymore, either.

Darryl, who is it?

I don't...
I really don't have a choice.

Then you better not warn them that we're
coming, or I will bust you.

Was that them?

No. That was, uh... Sheridan.

Is everything okay?

It's not my problem, right?

They're on their own.

Impressive.
Hand me one of those vials, if you would.

How do you know it will work?

I don't, but I assume if it's in their
venerable book, it should.

But they're hiding in the magic school.

How are you gonna get close
enough to use it on them?

They're not gonna stay hidden for long.
That's not their style.

As I was saying.

What the hell?

Now!

Something wicked in our midst,
in our home where he exists.

Are you all right?

Well, don't just stand there!
Kill them all!

The Book! They're after the Book!
Stop them!

Reverse the spell
from whence I fell.

Hurry. Get to the book.
Go, go, go!

What happened?

It wouldn't let me take it.
We should have cast a confidence spell.

You're trespassing.

I failed you.
Forgive me.

Actually, it was a complete success.

After all, we still have the
Book, and, as an added bonus,

I now have one of their powers.

Does it hurt?

Not any more than usual.

This is getting old.

You were lucky to get out of there at all.

Tell me about it.

He threw something at me,
maybe a potion or something.

Did it do anything?

I don't think so.

The magic from your book is
not available to him yet.

"Yet" being the operative word.

Well, we wanted Zankou to focus on us.
Now, uh, how do we survive that?

You gotta get the Book back.

We tried, but it won't let us take it.

Maybe he cast a protection spell on it?

Or maybe the Book doesn't remember who we are.

Maybe it's because we don't remember who we are.

Well, you've got remember. Now,
you gotta go back. You gotta try again, together.

Leo's right. You have to get the Book
back if only to destroy the Nexus.

Excuse me?

There's a spell in the book, one you've never
used before, called, "How to Banish a Suxen. "

A Suxen?

"Nexus" spelled backwards.

It was put in there a long time ago as a last resort, in
case we lost control of The Nexus, to keep it from evil.

But if we destroy the Nexus, good won't have
access to it, either. We won't have access to it.

I don't think the elders think that we're gonna
be around long enough to worry about that.

Not necessarily.
We're simply taking precautions.

Including... let me guess... sealing yourselves
off from us in case we fail?

Be well.

Eh! Excuse me?
That's what you're leaving us with?

Now what?

Well, you can't just give up... that's what.

Uhh, Leo...

Look, I mean it. You can't just give up.
Your plan is working.

You got Zankou off The Nexus. Now you just
need to distract him long enough to get the book back.

He's too powerful.

The hell he is.
Look, you guys are The Charmed Ones.

No one is more powerful than you guys are. How many t
imes have you proven that over the years?

You can't just give up. Look, you have a legacy
to carry on, to pass on to the next generation,

to our boys, to your future kids...

A bit wordy, isn't he?

Well, you know him with the exposition.

Doesn't mean he's not right.
The question is, what's our next move?

I mean, we can't just ask the leprechauns
and the trolls for more help.

But maybe we could ask some bats.

Do I need to replace you?

No. I can still fight.
I just don't know why we have to.

Meaning?

Meaning Zankou has left us vulnerable
to attack and for no reason.

Are you questioning him?

Aren't you? You know as well as I do that he should have
taken in the power of The Nexus hours ago,

but instead, he's given the witches an opening
and we've lost demons... friends.

Hold your tongue, Salko,
or you'll lose more than that.

Send the others away.
They're no longer needed.

You're going after The Nexus?

Yes...

but only after I get the other sisters' powers.
I set a trap.

Was I not clear?

Perfectly.

Away!

Do you really think they'll leave the
safety of the magic school?

I know they will.

How do you know that?

Because now that I have Phoebe's powers,
I know exactly what they're gonna do next.

They will not humiliate me again.

Thanks.

Well?

The judge denied our request for a tap.
He wanted more evidence.

If we had more evidence, we wouldn't need a tap.
We've gotta get in there.

Call the A.G. Tell him I need to speak
to him right away. We'll circumvent this.

You're going to claim that they're terrorists?

I'm gonna do whatever it takes
to prove who they really are.

Then let me go in.
Put the camera on me.

No offense, Inspector,
but I've got better-trained agents.

Nobody the sisters know, though.
They'll let me in. They'll have to.

I'll get you your evidence,
live and in living color.

How?

I'll provoke them. It shouldn't be too hard,
seeing as how much they hate me already.

If they've got these...
powers, as you say, I will make them

I'm not willing to risk it.

Maybe you're not, but I am.

Look, you can do whatever
you want with them afterwards.

You can expose them, hide them,
dissect them. I don't care.

I just want to be the one to bust them.

Okay, now what?

We draw out the Queen.

How?

Ok, uh... get.

Okay, ladies, a little bit of help here, please.

Bats!

Who are you?

Stop the attack before we kill you, too!

And then I'll kill all of your vampires.

Cease!

What do you want?

Actually, your help.

We have something in common: Neither one of us wants
a certain demon to take over the underworld, right?

I'm listening.

Well, if you help us stop him, you can keep the underworld in
disarray like you guys like it, and we'll grant you immunity.

Immunity?

From us.
We'll never come after your family again.

And even better, you won't have
to answer to Zankou. Interested?

Very.

Okay, well, then follow us.

Fools.

What took you so long?

Where's the Queen?

Oh, she betrayed you.

I got to her first. I knew you were coming,
thanks to your premonition powers.

And now I have yours.

Looking for this?

Unh!

Why didn't you kill them
when you had the chance?

Because I don't have all their powers... yet.

Ow.

Okay, easy, easy.
Let's sit down right here.

All right, a little help down here,
please, little healing!

They're not coming down.
We're on our own now.

Yeah, two powers down.

Something tells me we're not
getting out of this one, girls.

Ow.

Sorry.

Why does Zankou keep picking on me?
Why can't he attack one of you two for a change?

If it makes you feel better,
I think I'm gonna be next.

He must've gotten the potion from
the Book to steal our powers.

Yeah, well, he's two-thirds of the way there...
that is, unless he's got enough already to get in here.

Well, he has more access to the Book now, which
means he might be able to figure out a way soon.

Well, we wanted him to come after us, right?
Looks like we got our wish.

You know, maybe I should get Wyatt to heal this.

No. I don't want to traumatize him again.

Well, he's gonna be traumatized soon enough.
I mean, who are we kidding? We're screwed.

Okay, well, if we're going down,
we are not going down alone.

We can't think like that.

Leo, I mean, come on.
Let's be real. It's over.

He's got our house, he's got our Book,
he's got two of our powers.

I mean, the only real question is whether
or not we could take him down with us.

I can't believe we're even having this conversation.

Yeah. Well, believe it.

How do we do it?

We've got to get that spell from the Book,
the one that destroys The Nexus.

And how is that gonna destroy Zankou?

We let The Nexus take in Zankou
first and then cast the spell...

hit two birds with one stone.

Don't you mean five? We're gonna have
to be in there to say the spell.

Can't we just say it from here?

Not and get the timing right, no.

Well, it's been nice knowing you ladies.

What was that?

Ugh! So close.

There must be another way in.

You're wasting valuable time.
You need to take in The Nexus now.

No. I need to get into magic school
and get their last power.

Listen to me!
It is a trick!

They draw you to them so you won't go after The Nexus.
Don't you see that?

They're playing you!
You're gonna get us all killed.

I know what I'm doing.

No, you don't.

And I had such...
high hopes for you.

Uhh!

Do you have picture?

Yeah. We're good.
You be careful.

Don't worry.

Hold hands.
Hold hands.

Why are you running?

Darryl!

Oh. Leo.
Leo!

Where's you come from?
How did you get here?

A little help from magic school.
Look, we need to talk.

Listen, Leo, I am done talking, man.

It's not just about the girls.
It's about Sheridan.

What about Sheridan?

I know she's investigating the girls, but whatever you do,
you've got keep her away from the house.

Something big is gonna go down soon.

Are they okay?

Leo, what is it?

Look, I know you're stuck in the
middle of this, and for that, I'm sorry,

but we need you to keep them
away from the house until this is over,

for Sheridan's sake, for everybody's sake.

I gotta go.

Take care.

Hey... Leo?

Sheila, baby...

No, Darryl. You promised.

Baby, I...

I can't just leave them high and dry.

Look, there is nothing more important
to me than you and those kids,

nothing, but if we're about building a better future
for our family, then I have to help the sisters.

Isn't that what they're fighting for?

Please promise me this'll be the last time.

I promise.

Hey! What the - uhh!

What the hell's goin' on?
Who are you?

Who are you?

She asked you a question.

Victor.
Victor Bennett.

Do you think it's really him?

If it was Zankou,
he would have attacked us by now.

What?

Sorry, dad. It was the only way we could be sure.

And we didn't want Zankou to know we were coming.

Zankou?
Who is Zankou?

Long story.

It's safe!

Hey.

What the hell is going on?

Thank you, sweetie.

Is the guest bedroom that way?

Uh, yeah.

Come on, baby.

Look, dad, we're running out of time.

And there's no gentle way to break this
to you, so I'm just gonna say it.

We're in some serious trouble.

What kind of trouble?

The kind of trouble we can't get out of.

In here is the deed to P-3 and the house already signed, our bank
accounts, power of attorney, and the schedule for the boys.

Hold on. What are you talking about?
I'm not gonna take that.

Dad, you have to. We need you to.
You're all we have.

We can't explain everything right now. You just need to
know this is our only way out. It's our only choice.

Please, for them?

I don't understand. Are you saying
I'm never gonna see you again?

No. Never say never.

Not in this family.

Hey.

Hey. How'd it go?

As well as can be expected.

You know we're doing the right thing.

I hope so.

Hey, baby, can I see you for two seconds?

Come here, come here. Just two seconds.
Come here. Come here.

Listen...

I want you to know that mommy
will always be close, okay?

I will always be with you. Okay, give me a hug.
Quick, quick, quick.

I love you so much.

We have to go, you guys.

Okay. Be a good boy.

Baby, come here.

Be a good boy for grandpa, okay?
Please, sweet baby?

Okay.

Let's get this over with.

I don't think anybody's home.

Get out of there, Inspector.
We'll try again later.

Let me just check the attic.

No. I don't like it. Just turn around.

Look, it'll just take a second.

No, Inspector.

Damn it!

Oh.

I'm sorry.
I was looking for Phoebe.

Were you?

Get out of there, Inspector.

I'm Inspector Sheridan.
Who are you?

How'd you get in here?

Damn it, Sheridan! Go! Now!

I should be going.

You're not going anywhere.

What are you waiting for?
Go, go, go!

No!

What was that?

Call FBI, SWAT: Special Forces, Haz-mat, everybody.
We're going in. Go! Go!

Okay, we only have one shot at this.
We can't miss.

First we've gotta get to the Book,
and convince it we still believe in ourselves.

Well, we do, don't we?

Absolutely.

Just feels kind of strange,
you know, doing it this way.

Well, I kinda wish we'd learned how to
do it earlier. Would've come in handy.

Well, Prue was really protective of it.
I'm just glad she showed Leo how to do it.

So this is Magic School.
How quaint.

What took you so long?

Patience is a virtue.

I can't even begin to tell you how long I've been looking forward to
this moment, a moment no demon has ever enjoyed...

until now.

Book!

Must we go through this?

Paige! Get out of here.

No. Not without you two.

Inseparable to the end.
But first things first.

Your power, please.

What's happening?

What?

Ah, astral projecting worked.

Thank you, Prue.

The Book.

Okay. This may be the last time we have to say this.

I'll hold you to it.

The power of three will set us free.

The power of three will set us free.

The power of three will set us free.

What?

Go, go, go, go!

All right, nobody gets in or out, you got that? Nobody.
I want this place completely surrounded. Over.

What the hell happened?

I don't know. But if they come in here before
we get Zankou, it's gonna be a blood bath.

Come on, we gotta find that spell.

I underestimated you.
It won't happen again.

What the hell was that?

It's probably the same thing that got Sheridan.

All right, everybody, listen up. On my command,
we storm the place. Everybody in position.

I wouldn't go in just yet if I were you.

Natum adai necral...

Too late. You can't take The Nexus.

It has been in me. It knows me now.
I should've done this before.

Natum adai necral.
Daya intay layok.

You can't stop me now.

No? Watch us.

From ancient time, this power came,
for all to have, but none to reign.

No!

Take it now, show no mercy.
For this power can no longer be.

This is it!

Holy... God...

Aren't you glad I told you to wait?

Watch your backs, team leaders.
Nobody goes in any room alone.

Air is good. It's all clear.

- What happened?
- I don't know yet.

- Anthing?
- We've got nothing yet.

My god. It looks like a bomb went off in here.

House is secure.
Nobody's inside.

Copy that.
What do you have?

I have some hydrogen isotopes,
plasma, no uranium.

Damn. Nothing.

Thank god nobody was in here.

Who said nobody was?

Your man just said the house was secure.

But the Halliwell sisters were inside.
I saw them myself.

What?

Trust me. We would've spotted them if they had
left the house. There's no way they got out of here alive.

There's gotta be another way out of here.

Oh, dear God, please.

Let me through.
I gotta get through.

Let me through.

Hey!
I gotta get through.

Hey, where do you think you're going?

I gotta get in. It's my house.

You got any I.D.?

Uh, no.

Then you're not getting past.

Yeah, but it's my wife.

You're not getting past.

Understand?

Yeah.

What's going on?

What?
I don't know.

Boy, sure hope nobody died in there.

What?

Do we know each other?

Yeah. I think so. After all, we're married.

What?

Shh, shh, shh.
It's all part of the plan.

Plan?
What plan?

Our plan to die.

It's the only way to get our lives back.
Our normal lives.

And stop everybody from coming after us,
including all of them.

But...

No. No buts. We're free. Nobody even knows
we're alive anymore, not even the demons.

They think we died in there with Zankou.
They were just our astral selves.

Sweetie, we've got a clean slate. We can start
all over again. No more demon fighting, ever again.

Unless the demons figure it out.

Which may be never.

I don't know what to say.

Just say you're okay with it.

So we can get the next generation
ready to pick up where we left off.

How do I do it?

You don't. We do.

Don't worry. We'll make you good-looking.

Cute.
I can live with that.

Well, all right.

All right.
