Charmed (1998–2006): Season 8, Episode 20 - Gone with the Witches - full transcript

Previously on Charmed

Wyatt, you know better than that!

No, sweetie.

- Who are you?
- I'm Cupid.

You can call me Coop.

I know what you're looking for in a man.

Believe me. I'm an expert in you.

I was dreaming about me and...

- Coop.
- Hang on a second.

So you're having sex dreams
while I'm sitting here racked with guilt!

Mom, Dad?



Billie, it's not your fault.

Yeah, but if I wouldn't have left them,
maybe they would still be here.

Or if Piper hadn't call you away.

You talk about them
like they're evil or something.

Billie, it's not about good or evil.
It's about power.

And absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Look, Billie, we're not the bad guys here.

You'll have to be stopped.

- Alright then.
- Don't Piper!

Do you need anymore proof?

Oh stop! It was one lousy potion.
I just meant to scare them.

I wasn't gonna take them out with that.

Why don't you say what you really mean?

Kill them.



I can't believe I got up early
on my husband's day off for this.

Stop complaining. We're getting close.

Close to what? Getting killed?

We scry for evil and it was here.

Yeah, because
their names are Christy and Billie.

I'm telling you it can't be them.

Why not? They're supposed to be
the Ultimate Power.

Yeah, but I still think they're
being manipulated by something.

Or maybe you're just avoiding
the inevitable.

Piper, I told you.

If we need to take down Billie and Christy,
I'm there.

Seriously. But...

I still think there's something else
behind them.

Whatever it is, it's behind that door.

What do we got to lose, right?

Uh, you know, just our lives.

Look, we're not even ready
to deal with Billie and Christy.

Let alone what may or may not be
behind door number 3.

Well the sooner we find out, the better.

Now that we've ascertained, it's a...

creepy empty room. I think we can go.

Just because we don't see anything,
it doesn't mean it's not there.

This place is giving me really creepy vibes.

Me too. I'm with Paige. Let's go.

This room is not even supposed
to be here, right?

Well, whether it is or it's not...

Let's go!

There's gotta be something in here.

- Ok, that's enough. Let's go.
- Ok.

You're not supposed to be here.

Actually I think you got that backwards.

Wait!

Stop.

I mean it.

So what? Are these whole monitors
working for you, now?

Does Billie know about this?

Billie's not your concern anymore.

And neither is this place.

So just go now.

Sorry, that's a no can't do.

What are you gonna do, Paige?

Are you gonna vanquish me?

Oh wait.

I'm human and that's murder.

That's illegal, isn't it?

That is unless it's self defense.

I guess we'll just have to seal
this place out then, won't we?

Let's get out of here.

We'll be seeing you again.

- You're not supposed to be here.
- Yes, but I...

was told they were here.

- I thought...
- I promised

my sister they won't be hurt.

Not until we're ready.

Thanks to Anyone

Just... out of curiosity,

was it easier dealing with all of this stuff

when Leo was mortal or when Leo was magical?

It was easier when he was still around.

Well obviously.

I just mean, you know,
being pulled away by demons all the time.

Oh I don't know.
It's kind of a toss-up.

When he was magical, he understood more

but when he was human,
he was in more danger.

So I was more worried.

So what I'm hearing you say is that it

pretty much sucks either way.

Yes. Basically.

Fantastic!

But you just got married, you know.
Give it some time. You'll get used to it.

But see, that's the thing.
I don't want to get used to it.

I want to be able to go away
with my husband.

Go out to do things without always
being called back on some emergency.

Yes, well, good luck with that.

Piper? Paige?

- Come here!
- Now, what did she find?

Probably another reason to avoid Coop.

I think I IDed the new power.

Yeah? Are you sure you're just not
trying to keep busy to avoid...

Piper, I told you,

if worse comes to worse, I would totally...

I'm not talking about Billie and Christy.

I'm talking about Coop.

What about Coop?

Yeah! What about Coop...

I love Coop.

O k?

I'm in love with Coop.

I love him.

And I just can't help it.
But this has nothing to do with that.

Hey, it's completely understandable.

You're miserable
that he can't love you back.

He's not allowed to and so you'd like
to take your frustration out on some demons.

Could we please just focus, here?

We're running out of time and
we have no idea what we're up against.

Since we can't go back to Magic School,
because it's not safe for us,

I compiled the little list here
of all the good magical creatures

that have helped us in the past.

Why are leprechauns at the top of the list?

Well, because they have luck,
and we need luck.

Yeah, but isn't that like throwing them
into the lion's den?

No, I mean it has to do with them too.

It's Good versus Evil.
You know, it affects all of us.

What happened to my life

that I won the priviledge to talk to
Leprechauns so much?

I'm sorry

but you know them best.

Ok, you and I are gonna go upstairs
and see if we can

ID Christy's new whole monitor friend.

Hey, there you are.

I've kind of been looking all over for you.

Oh, I've just been here.

Doing what?

Just writing stuff down, about the sisters.

That's good. That's really good, Billie.

We can figure out what their weaknesses are.

Yeah, well, I'm hoping we can disempower them
so we don't have to hurt them.

Who are you kidding, Billie?

It's gonna take a hell of a lot more
than that to stop them.

And you know it.

No, I don't know it.

I mean, besides Piper has kids!

She has a baby for God's sake!

How could you even think of
wanting to hurt a mom?

What about our mom?

She didn't have any concern about her.

Look, I didn't seek this help, Billie.

This was given to me.

It was given to us.

Yeah, we're supposed to take down
the most powerful witches of all time.

That's what this nightmare is all about.

So now, I'm a nightmare.

No, going against good people is.

They're not good people, Billie.

If they were,
we wouldn't be in this position.

They've lost their way.

And the longer it takes for you
to figure that out,

the more time they have to attack us.

Like they tried to do today.

- What are you talking about?
- They were here.

I saw them.

Are you sure they were looking for us?

Billie...

Ok, look, if they come after us, fine.

I was wrong, we don't have a choice,
but until they do...

If we give them enough time to attack us,

we'll die!

You know what, Billie?

I'm tired of trying to convince you of this.

If you don't wanna believe me, then fine.

But

I'm gonna to introduce you to someone

that you'll have to believe.

Now what, for God sake,
could you possibly be wanting now?

Look, I know you just did me

a favor, ok?
Which I... I so appreciate.

But I just need this one thing.

The balance of Good and Evil depends on it.

Well, it's always something
with your people!

It shouldn't take long.
It's super easy. All I need you to do

is sneake into Magic School and just...
identify a certain evil. That's all.

A demon no doubt.

Place is swarming with them.

Probably part of the brewing storm
we've been hearing about.

Exactly. That's it.
That's all you have to do.

We're leprechauns!

We toss a bit of luck about here and there.

These big battles?

Well, they're really more up your alley.

This fight affects us all.

Still...

like he said,

we're not much for the fighting.

Might be better if we sit this one out.

Well if the balance of power shifts,

you're gonna be doing
an awful lot of sitting around here

because there's gonna be nobody
to protect you from all that evil.

Look I came to you guys first,
because you're smart,

you're cunning, you're brave.

Good looking!

You're damn good looking!
I mean, that's for sure.

But hey!

If you don't wanna help me stop
the Ultimate Power,

that's ok. I'll just uh...

I'll just go at some gnomes.

What?

The gnomes are idiots!

You can't trust them any further than
you can throw'em!

Alright, we'll do it.

But we do not like it.

Alright Phoebe I found...

Jeez!
Are you mad at me or something?

No, of course not.
Why would I be mad at you?

Alright, good.

So I think I found you
the man of your dreams.

Oh really, do you?

Yes. Yes, I do.
I guess he's perfect for you.

He's an aidworker in Bangladesh.

He's uh... rugged, handsome, you know.
A real do-gooder type.

Of course, there is a long distance thing,
and you're gonna need to get shots.

Ok, yeah, I'm not gonna get vaccination
to go meet a guy.

What's the matter?
You couldn't find anyone in the area?

Yeah. Sure, I could have.

I don't think you understand
how difficult it is.

It's not my fault if you reject
every guy that I bring.

Wait, every guy?

Coop, there's been one guy.
One!

Yeah, but he was a really good guy.

Ok, you know what I think?
I think that you...

just have no idea of what I want.

No, I know exactly what is it
you're looking for.

No, trust me, you have no idea.

Well why don't you enlight me?

You.

And I know it's impossible.

'Cause of the rules and everything but...

Shh.

Ok, so dad is taking the boys to the zoouh!

Wow, excuse me.
Hello! Hi! Sorry to interrupt

but you know, Ultimate Power,
mysterious things... He's gotta go, tick-tock!

Right, right, exactly.

You should probably go,
I'm thinking, you know.

Yeah, I will...

talk to you later.

Ok. Yeah.

Oh God! I know, I know it's forbidden love
and I'm doomed and... and...

We're doomed and everything is doomed!

That about sums it up.

Well, at least you're not avoiding
anything anymore.

Did you happen
to ID Christy's whole monitor?

Yeah, but uh...

he's gotta get away from Magic School
before we can do anything.

Ok, that's alright cause when we do

he will talk, I guarantee it.

"The Truth Spell"

What is this?

You'll see.

- This is creepy. I'm getting out of here.
- Don't be afraid, Billie.

It's me.

Oh my god!

You're all grown up now, aren't you?

- How is this possible?
- Anything's possible here, Billie.

That's why I come here.

For guidance, for him.

- But he's not real, is he?
- I've always been real, Billie.

Just like I've always been there
for you both.

I wasn't just an imaginary friend.

Who do you think wrote in my diary
and told you how to find me?

He prepared us for everything.

I was sent by the Greater Powers
to show you your destiny.

To help you to understand that your powers
were given to you for a reason.

To do good.

And to keep what's bad in check.

- So this is where you get that from?
- Yes, it is.

Much is at stake, Billie, and
only you and your sister can stop it.

This is the reason.

This is the moment why
you were gifted with these powers.

To save the future from this.

I didn't go back to betray you, Wyatt.

I went back to save you.

Wyatt?

Save me?

From what?

It's all about power.
It's as simple as that.

That's why I keep this museum intact.

To remind everyone the power
from which I was born

and that which I possess.

Wyatt...

Piper's progeny,

that same sweet little boy
you once baby sat?

That is what unchecked power
will become in the future.

A future that only you and your sister
can save.

It is your destiny.

I can't.

Billie, wait!

We are not pleased, Dumain.

And we are running out of time.

This was you plan, Dumain.

You came to us.

We didn't sacrify ourselves, our lives,
only to fail now!

We haven't failed. We just...

underestimated Billie's connection
to the witches.

It's a lot stronger than we anticipated.

You mean stronger than you anticipated.

For 15 years, I've worked tirelessly
to bring this plan to fruition.

We will succeed.

Not unless we can kill the Charmed Ones,
we won't.

And Billie remains reticent.

As do the Charmed Ones!
I know it!

But they won't hesitate for long.

Don't ignore the great progress we've made.

We've successfully inverted morality.

We've convinced both Christy and Billie,
that the Charmed Ones are the evil ones.

Which does us no good unless
Billie is able to kill them.

And if she can't,
the balance of power won't shift,

and we won't have the power to return.

Which means

you won't become one of us.

Have faith, my Lords.

Once Billie is fully turned,

- and believe me, she's close...
- Wait...

Someone is coming.

Oh, me ached back!

It serves me right, though.

Let them witches stronger than me
to be their lackey again.

For the love of Saint Andrews,
stop your grumple, will you?

Something's not right here.

Let's just get this over with, shall we?

What are you gonna do? Take a photo?

No,

I'm identifying the threat like
she asked us to.

Do you have a better idea?

And you call yourself a leprechaun!

Let luck reveal what can't be seen.

Leave it! We'll find another way back!

Curse those Charmed Ones!

We are like ewes in the slaughter house!

We may have just found a way to help Billie
cross the final threshold.

She may not believe
the Charmed Ones are evil from us,

but she'll believe it from them.

Agreed.

Summon Creo.

Creo!

At your service, my Lord.

Look, maybe because
you've never had friends,

- you don't know what it's like for me.
- I have Dumain and I trust him.

Can you honestly say that about the sisters?

After they put their needs above yours

every single chance they've got?

Look, I admit
they've become a little selfish,

but they haven't done anything bad enough
to deserve to die for it!

Yeah, but Billie, they will,
and then it will be too late!

- You don't know that.
- You saw their inner truths.

How they're being corrupted by power.

- It's our destiny to...
- Oh!

I'm so sick of this destiny crap!

Demons!

No!

What are you doing here?

Wait.

Perhaps you should use him
to send a message to the other demons.

Good idea.

Any more of your demons come here,
and attack our friends,

they're dead.
Do you understand?

Are you ok?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks to you.

Well, you guys can come out now, it's safe.

Don't worry, we're your friends.

You never really know for sure these days.

What were you doing here anyway?
Why did you risk coming here?

- We were... sent.
- Really?

By who?

The Charmed Ones.

Paige hasn't heard from the leprechauns.

Which is not a good sign.

Oh I just hope we didn't confirm the mystery
powers' existence at their expense.

Yeah, that would be a bad thing.

Which also means that we're running
out of time looking for it.

Tell me about it.

We're getting to think
that the Ultimate Power's power

is to drive us crazy.

I think you're gonna have
to face some harsh reality soon, Phoebe.

- We may just have to...
- Uh!

Don't say the "k" word.

Do not say the "k" word in regards to
Billie and Christy, please.

Ok, well just because
you don't wanna say it

doesn't mean we won't have to do it.

Ok, and push comes to shove,
you're gonna be able to do it?

You're actually gonna be able to kill them?

Uh... If it's us or them, absolutely.

Look, we're not talking
about innocents here, Phoebe.

And whether or not
there is a force behind them,

the Triad hand-picked them to kill us.
I mean it's time to get real.

That's even a more reason
to avoid confrontation

and figure out who's behind them.

Oh!

Which I think I may have just done.

You found the demon?

I think so.

Ok. I'll get Paige.

We'll use your truth potion to pry
a name out of them

and you stay here to figure out
if the leprechauns are coming back.

And what if they don't?
What if something...

happened to them...

I'm sure that I was a goner.

I guess that's why I'm a little shaken up.

Don't worry, you're safe now. I promise.

I just don't understand
why the demons keep coming back.

I thought we killed all of them.

There. As good as new.

Well, thank you for that.

And for saving us.

Just one thing I can't figure.

You folks are good.

So why did the Charmed Ones send us here...

That's what
we're still trying to figure out.

What did they say they wanted you to do?

It was to find a great evil.

They called it the Ultimate Power.

And they said it was evil?

What else dit they tell you?

That the power was huge.

And that they were bent on stopping it.

Really?

And how do they plan on doing that?

Same way they deal with all evil I suppose.

- Vanquish it.
- Is that what they said?

That they're gonna vanquish
the Ultimate Power?

- Are you sure?
- Well they didn't exactly say that.

But that's what they do, isn't it?

I just don't know why they would send you
guys here to do their dirty work.

- Have they done this before?
- All the time!

It's not just us!

They use the whole magical community.

And they never took the time
to save Magic School from demons?

Couldn't break a nail, I guess.

Cannon fodder!

It's what we've become to them.

Now do you believe everything
I've been telling you?

We give up everything for him

and this is the thanks we get?

Who does the man think we are?

- Lackeys?
- We've had this conversation.

It's all part of the Triad's plan.

We'll get what we deserve soon enough.

Yeah, that's what you keep saying,

But I'm still sleeping behind a dumpster.

We do as we're told.

Even if we have to make
the ultimate sacrifice,

it's all part of the greater victory.

Yeah, but if we're not a part of it,

- I'm not sacrificing anything.
- You signed an oath, in blood.

We both did.

And if you don't protect them,
you'll face a fate much worse than death.

Funny you should say that.

Demons!

We have a few questions for you.

Gentlemen, who is the wizard
behind the curtain,

so to speak.

- The what?
- The demon.

Who are you working for?

The demon?

- This...
- No.

- We can't.
- Too bad you don't have a choice.

Two and a half corn dogs?

What are you, crazy, dad?
He's 3.

I don't care if he begged.

Look, I gotta go. But seriously,

no more junk food or he will vomit on you.

Where is the demon?

In the wasteland, probably.

I mean his power vanquished each other
so they didn't have to talk.

- They sacrificed themselves?
- Yep.

Scary, huh?

Any word from our little green friends?

- No, nothing.
- I hope they're ok.

What are you doing?

I'm going to call them.

I might have known it was you.

Dropping us in our behinds!

You've no right to call us back like that.

I'm sorry, I was worried.

Are you ok?

Now you're worried?

After sending us into harm's way!

Look, we wouldn't have done it
if it wasn't important.

Yeah, come on guys.
We're trying to save the future here.

So you say.

I'll be taking that back now, thank you.

Hey! What are you doing?

We're no longer at your beck and call.

That was a gift.

And don't bother calling.

- Wow, what's wrong with them?
- I don't know, but it's not good.

Ok, I know leprechauns are crabby
but this, this is different.

What do you mean? You think
Billie and Christy got to them somehow?

Or maybe somebody else did.

I just can't believe
they turned on us like that.

I mean, what did we do?

Maybe it's not anything we did, maybe
it's something Billie and Christy did.

- Or whoever is behind it.
- What are you saying?

I'm saying I think they did

to the leprechauns
what the Triad did to them.

Turn them against us?

Twist everything around and make us
look like the bad guys.

That's crazy.
They would never believe that.

I'm sure they would.

Think about our track record
with them lately.

But what purpose would that serve?
I mean, why even bother?

I don't know. To isolate us,

make sure we have a little less back up
in our time of need.

You mean when they attack.

Maybe that's what they've been waiting for.

Well we have to warn the magical community
and tell them not to fall for it.

Where is that list?

Upstairs. I'll get it.

No, I'll get it. You go talk to Coop

and make sure they don't try
to turn anybody else against us.

And I'm going to talk
to our little friends again.

Well, I think that's kind of
a waste of time.

I don't think so. I'm not letting them
off the hook that easily.

We're almost there my Lords.

Almost?

The longer it takes,

the greater the chance they'll regain
sympathy for the Charmed Ones.

Which we already know Billie
is prone to do.

I don't think that's going to happen.

Especially now that she believes

the leprechauns
were set up by the Charmed Ones.

And what's the delay?

Either she's ready to kill them
or she is not!

She's close. She just needs...

a little more convicing.

Once she thinks

the Charmed Ones have turned their backs
on the entire magical community...

That's impossible!

The community is too vast and
too loyal to the sisters

for all their years of protecting them.

Which is why we need to create a situation
where they won't be protecting them.

How?

Simple.

We distract the Charmed Ones
when the magical beings need them most.

Using the same distractions
that have worked on them in the past.

Billie herself has provided us
with all we need to know.

The "witch doctor" who turned inner truth
into obsession.

That should work quite nicely on Paige.

Should be enough for the lot of us
to tough it out.

Right.

If things get as bad as I think they're going to,
no amount of luck'll be too much,

But threatening down the hatches we are.

What do you think you're doing here?

You're no longer welcome here.

That is exactly the kind of attitude that
I am here to talk to you about.

Our attitude...

But it's your attitudes in question here.

Look, I don't know who has got into you,
but contrary to popular belief,

we are still the good guys, ok?

And the fact that you guys have gone
demon free for all these years

pretty much proves that point.

Still,

things change.

People change.

- Especially human people.
- Same difference.

You know what I mean.

What I know is this is not the time
to bail on us

just because
we've had our differences

or

because someone has been whispering
in your ear.

We are going into a very big battle
which you obviously know about

because somebody has been
stockpiling luck.

You were saying...

What am I doing here?

I need to find enlightement.

But...

you were telling us...

about the battle.

Oh, the battle.

Well good luck with that!

I've always found lust

to be the greatest of the seven deadly sins.

And apparently so has Phoebe.

Coop?

Coop?

Oh, it's about time.

I was wondering when
you were gonna get here.

Listen. I... Oh no, not... not that.
Not, not now.

Now what?

You know, whatever is in your mind,
right now.

We've got a big problem.

I know, I know.

If there's one thing I know about love,
it's that we're always gonna find a way...

No, no, no. That's not the problem.

I mean that, that is obviously,
you know, a problem,

- but that's not the problem.
- Okay, I don't understand.

Ok, look. There is this...

new power at Magic School

and we're afraid
that it's gonna turn everybody against us.

Ok, by everyone you mean...?

Ogres, fairies, leprechauns...

Cupids, maybe.

Wow!

When all this happened?

Phoebe?

Are you alright?

Their grandmother's wedding ring...

Which she apparently put a hex on

to remind her of the horrors of
being a housewife.

It should be perfect for Piper,
considering her current situation.

Oh crap!

This place is a mess!

Now it's time to bring on the demons.

It won't be long now before
everyone's against the Charmed Ones.

Especially Billie.

Alright now!

Let's go.

Now we all know that the winds of war
have blown.

Yes.

It's time we face the fact

the Charmed Ones

can't be trusted to help us

anymore.

I don't believe that.

They've always been there for us.

You didn't see Paige today.

Coming to beg us to fight a common evil.

Except she left right in the middle,

all in a hurry,

took off to find enlightement

get her nails done or who knows what?

They don't care anymore.

It's like last year,
when they took on new identities.

Stepping away from the fight without
so much as a goodbye.

They did it to stop Zankoo.

Just one of the many threats
they've saved us from.

They stopped the Source, the Avatars
the Triad!

Who are we to question them?

Witches prophecized centuries ago
to fight for the Greater Good.

That's just the point.

They don't anymore.

They don't care enough to protect us from...

If we don't get the Charmed Ones,
we're all dead!

Paige, you got to help us!

We're under attack!

I'm sorry, this is me time.

They killed Liam!

They're trying to kill us all!

I'm trying to find a deeper meaning.
Please, go.

Bay!

Help!

Phoebe,

please.

We're being attacked!

- Not now!
- Are you alright?

- Do you want me to stop?
- No!

May I help you?

What's that?

You and the whole magical community
is under attack?

Demons are slaughtering you, left and right?

Your only hope is us?

Well,

I'm sorry but unfortunately,
I can't help you.

I need to be here for when Leo comes home.

That's just awful!

I just vacuumed there.

Help! Help us!

What's wrong, what happened?

Demons,

they're attacking us all!

But,

where are the Charmed Ones?

Leaving us to die.

We'll take care of that.

Piper?

Paige?

Thank god you're alright!
Why didn't you answer your cell?

I left it at the condo.

- Was a spell cast on you as well?
- Yes.

I don't know what happened.

One second I was talking to Coop,
and the next I was attacking him.

Magically?

No, sexually.

Who do you think did this to us?

Who else? Billie.
She's the only one who knows us

well enough to use our past against us.

I'm gonna kill her.

Where have you been?

Ok, the big question is, what do we do now?

They seem to be one step ahead of us.

I mean, we tried to warn our friends.

Who probably think we've abandonned them.

Yeah, well, we need to find them
and change their minds.

The only way to do that is to save them.

What's going on?

We were just coming to save you.

Well, we've already been saved.

And not by you.

You know,

for years we thought you were on our side.

We counted on you.

Then to leave us...

- high and dry.
- Hey!

We were under a spell.

We wanted to save you
but something wouldn't let us.

You betrayed us!

It's always one thing or another
with you, isn't it?

Our good friends are being slaughtered,

while you're kissing your loved ones
or contemplating your navels.

Billie and Christy were right about you.

Look, they're twisting everything.
It's not what you think.

They know exactly what to think.

They think it's over.

And so do we.

The Book!

How did we get here?

I don't know. I aimed for Magic School.
They must have...

protected it from us.

Wait, so there's demons out there and
we're stuck in the underworld?

We are the bad guys now.

How did that happen?

Well, more importantly,
what are we gonna do now?

Oh, this is bad. This is really bad.

- They've escaped.
- But not for long.

They're on the run.
Banished, with nowhere to turn.

So,

- how can they be destroyed?
- They won't give up.

They'll attack Billie and Christy with
everything they've got.

And so will begin the ultimate battle.

One whichwill destroy all the witches...

including Billie and Christy.

Then we can return,

once and for all.
