~Previously on "All Hell Breaks Loose", written by Brad Kern~
[Scene: Hospital. Piper is on a stretcher and four doctors are racing her to a room. Prue is running beside it.]
Prue: Hang in there. Where's Dr. Griffiths? He should've been here by now.
(Dr. Griffiths races up to them.)
Dr. Griffiths: How'd this happen?
Prue: Some idiot in front of our house.
(They take her into a room.)
Dr. Griffiths: What do we know?
Doctor #1: Pulse seventy, weak.
Dr. Griffiths: I need some numbers, people.
Doctor #1: One, two, three, go.
(They lift Piper onto a bed. Prue holds her hand.)
Dr. Griffiths: Smaller entry wound, upper right back.
Doctor #1: Larger exit wound, abdomen.
(Dr. Griffiths listens to Piper's chest with a stethoscope.)
Dr. Griffiths: Lungs failing. Start an I.V. --------- two units of O, stat.
Nurse: Right away.
Prue: Leo!
Doctor #2: Get 40cc's of adrenaline.
Nurse #2: Yes, sir.
Piper: He can't hear you. Leo. Something must have gone wrong.
Prue: Piper, don't you dare die on me.
Piper: Prue, I'm cold. I-I-I can't feel my legs.
Doctor #1: Pulse is dropping.
Piper: Don't go. I love you.
(The line on the heart monitor flattens out and Piper goes into full arrest.)
Prue: Oh god.
Dr. Griffiths: Full arrest. Paddles! (Two doctors bring over the paddle machine. Dr. Griffiths picks up the paddles.) Gel. (The nurse squirts some gel on a paddle and he rubs the two together. Prue stands back and cries.) Clear! (He uses the paddles on Piper but it doesn't work.) Recharge.
Nurse: Recharging.
Dr. Griffiths: Clear! (He uses them again but still does not work. He stands back from Piper. Prue cries harder. Dr. Griffiths looks at Prue.) I'm sorry.
Prue: No! (She cries uncontrollably and puts her head on Piper. She then closes Piper's eyes.) Get out of here. Go!
(The doctors leave the room. A SWAT member stands outside the room and looks in.)
[Scene: Cave in the underworld. Phoebe and Leo are there discussing something very quietly. Cole walks in and Phoebe goes over to him.]
Phoebe: Cole, where have you been? We've been worried. What's the matter?
Cole: He knows. About you, about us.
Phoebe: So, what does that mean?
Cole: He's offering a deal. He'll get Tempus to reset time if you stay... here.
Leo: What, down here? He's crazy.
Cole: Hardly.
Leo: Yeah, well, we're desperate but not that desperate.
Phoebe: Why would he think that I would accept an offer like that?
(Cole hesitates for a moment.)
Cole: Because it's the only way to bring one of your sisters back to life.
Phoebe: What?
Leo: It's a trick, he's lying.
Cole: No, it's not.
[Cut back to the hospital. The SWAT team walks through the corridor.]
[Cut to in the room where Prue and Piper are. Prue is still crying and is holding Piper's hand. She pulls some tubes off of Piper. A SWAT member walks in the room.]
SWAT #1: Just keep your hands where I can see them and you won't get hurt. (Prue turns to him.) Easy.
(Prue uses her power and he flies out of the room. Another SWAT member runs in. Prue kicks him and uses her power. Prue grabs a metal bar and pokes it through the handles of the door. She turns off the lights. Leo orbs in.)
Prue: They killed her, Leo. (Leo looks at Piper.) They think we're the demons now.
(Leo walks over to Piper and starts to cry.)
Leo: Oh, god. How can this be happening? I don't understand. I'm so sorry.
(He leans over and kisses Piper's forehead.)
Prue: Can you make this right or not? (She pulls him up.) Go! (Leo orbs out. Prue goes back over to Piper.) Don't worry, he's gonna fix it. I promise, you're gonna be fine.
[Cut back to the underworld. Leo orbs in, still crying.]
Phoebe: Piper.
(She hugs Leo tightly.)
Leo: You don't have to do this.
Phoebe: Yes I do. (She turns to Cole.) So, will resetting time affect us down here?
Cole: No.
Phoebe: Good. I only have one condition. You must warn Prue and Piper before the demonic hit man attacks. Otherwise they're dead anyway.
[Time lapse. Cole is kneeling in front of The Source.]
The Source: Agreed. (Cole stands up, bows and walks away. A guard walks in and kneels in front of The Source.) Once I have reset time, detain him. And then kill his witch. That way I won't have to worry about Belthazor anymore. Or the Charmed Ones.
(The guard walks away.)
[Cut back to the hospital. Prue has covered Piper over with a blanket. A SWAT member outside has a gun pointed at the room.]
[Cut to The Source.]
The Source: It shall be done.
(A crack of thunder is heard.)
[Cut to the hospital. The SWAT member fires his gun and the bullet goes straight through the wall, heading for Prue. It stops in mid-air and reversese whe whole day resets and Prue and Piper are back in the manor before Shax attacks.]
Prue: Look, I know that this all sounds incredible, but it doesn't make it any less true. Alright, you're a healer, you do good, now either you have saved too many lives or you're about to save a life that they don't want you to save.
Dr. Griffiths: They?
Prue: Yeah, demons. Uh, more specifically, Shax. He was The Source's assassin.
Dr. Griffiths: Hold it, I get it. This is a practical joke, right? Do you have a hidden camera here? My second wife put you up to this? Ah, it's just like her. (He laughs.)
Prue: O-o-okay, Dr. Griffiths, listen to me, this is anything but...
(She stops.)
Piper: What?
Prue: I don't know, I just felt a chill. Phoebe? (No answer.) Phoebe, are you there? (A tornado of wind twists through the front door.) Phoebe, where are you?
(The tornado knocks Prue and Piper to the floor. A clap of thunder is heard, the tornado calms down and Shax appears.)Dr. Dr. Griffiths: Dear god.
Prue: No!
(Prue gets up off the floor and pushes Dr. Griffiths out of the way. Shax throws an energy ball at Prue and she literally crashes straight through a wall. Piper gets up and Shax throws an energy ball at Piper, sending her crashing through a wall. Shax turns to Dr. Griffiths.)
Dr. Griffiths: What are you?
Shax: The end.
(He throws an energy ball at Dr. Griffiths and he crashes through a window. Shax looks around. He looks at Prue and Piper unconscious on the floor. Pleased with what he's done, Shax turns back into the wind and flies out the front door. The glass on the door smashes as it slams shut.)
___________________________________________________________
And here begins my AU story with..."All Hell Broke Loose" (All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2)
[The Underworld. Cole returns to Phoebe and Leo awaiting an answer from the Source.]
Phoebe: Cole.
Cole: ...He agreed. Time should've returned to the beginning of the day by now...
Leo: Then that means...
Phoebe: Prue and Piper are facing Shax as we speak. Go to them, Leo, hurry!
Leo: I'm not leaving you here -- you're coming with me.
Cole: Go with him Phoebe, I'll take care of this.
Phoebe: Cole...
(Guards storm in and grab Cole)
Cole: What the hell? Let go of me!
Phoebe: Cole!
Guard: Kill the witch!
Leo: No!
Cole: Phoebe!!
(Leo grabs Phoebe and orbs out)
Cole: Grgh...that bastard! He broke the agreement!!
Guard: That is the least of your troubles now, Belthazor.
Cole: Phoebe......
[Cut to Manor. Camera pans through Manor slowly, showing the damage caused by Shax. Camera shows Doctor Griffith, then moves toward Prue and Piper on the ground, with blood on the floor. Leo orbs in with Phoebe]
Leo: We're back.
Phoebe: Where are Prue and Piper?
Leo: There they are!
(Phoebe and Leo run towards Prue and Piper)
Phoebe: Oh my god, how long have they been like this?!
Leo: I don't know. (Leo places one hand on each sister)
(A few seconds pass with no reaction)
Phoebe: What's wrong?
Leo: Wait...
Phoebe: No. No! This is all my fault! Prue! Piper! (tears begin to flow)
Leo: There... (Leo's hands glow and begins to heal them)
Phoebe: (Crying) It's working!!
Leo: We almost lost them. They should be ok in a minute.
(Prue and Piper wake up)
Prue: ...What...Happened?
Piper: OOWW!
(Phoebe and Leo Hug Piper tight)
Piper: What the?
Prue: ?
Phoebe: Piper, you're alive!
Leo: Piper...
Prue: What is with you people? You act as if though someone died.
Piper: Bleh... (Coughs) ...You people are suffocating me, damn it! Get up, get up, get up!
Phoebe: We can't hit. it.
Leo: Nope, can't help it.
Prue: O-kay, where is the doctor? Where's Shax?!
Phoebe: Shax isn't here anymore.
Piper: G-r-e-a-t.
Leo: The doctor!
(They find Griffith. Leo tries to heal him but it's too late)
Leo: He's dead.
Phoebe: Oh god...
(Prue looks in Phoebe's direction)
Prue: I think it's time you guys told us what happened.
[Cut to Underworld, Guard tells Source what happened.]
Source: WHAT! A whitelighter?! Why didn't you stop them?
Guard: He got away with her before...
Source: ENOUGH! (Source waves his hand and guard bursts into flames) Stop the witch and her whitelighter from saving her sisters, NOW!
(Guards leave)
Cole: You broke the deal you made. You can't hold it against her now.
Source: Heh heh... I broke nothing. She was to remain in the underworld forever. Never did I mention whether she would live or not during her stay! Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Cole: ...You...
Source: What? Have something to say? I'd like to hear it.
(Cole remains silent)
[Cut to Halliwell manor. Leo told Prue and Piper what happened.]
Prue: I can't believe it.
Piper: It's too surreal.
Phoebe: But it's ok now. We're together again and now we can kick some ass!
Leo: Phoebe. Don't forget that the Source will be sending his men after you.
Phoebe: I know... Cole...who knows what they've done to him.
Leo: You can't worry about him right now.
Phoebe: ...
Prue: Well, I don't know where to start.
(Several Demons flame in, and two darklighters shadow in the opposite direction)
Piper: How 'bout with them?
Prue: WHOA!
Phoebe: We're surrounded!
Leo: Darklighters!?
Demon1: We've come for the witch.
Prue: Which o-n-e?
Demon2: Don't play the fool -- Surrender or die!
Demon3: Kill them!
Piper: Noooo! (Piper uses her power to freeze everything)
Phoebe: Oh... that's a relief!
Prue: They're all frozen??
Piper: I think so. Leo? Yeah, he's frozen too.
Prue: Quick thinking. Piper, unfreeze Leo.
Piper: OK. (Leo is unfrozen)
Leo: Huh?
Piper: They're all frozen. (smiles)
Prue: Everyone grab Leo!
Leo: Huh??
(All three grab him)
Prue: Take us upstairs to the Book of Shadows!
Leo: I should take you guys someplace safer.
Piper: Leo, less yappin', more flappin'!
Leo: OK. OK. (Leo orbs them upstairs)
[Cut to the Attic]
Prue: They probably won't know we came up here, so hopefully that will buy us some time.
Piper: What exactly are you planning?
Prue: If we put these crystals all around the room, it should protect us if the demons do come up here.
Phoebe: Those are the crystals you used to trap Cole..
Prue: Uh, yeah. Now you take one and go to that corner, Piper you in the other.
Piper: Are you sure it won't hurt us?
Prue: It's a demon trap, remember?
Piper: Right. Later, missy -- you're gonna get it. (Piper points finger at Prue)
Phoebe: Ready.
Piper: I'm ready.
Prue: Now that the trap is set, let's check the Book for anything that can help us out.
Leo: I'm going to take a peek and see if they are still down there.
Piper: Be careful, Leo.
Leo: I will.
(Leo quietly walks towards the stairs and looks down to see the demons walking around)
Leo: (Whispers) They're looking around for you guys.
Piper: (Whispers) Hurry get get your butt back here, honey.
Prue: Piper, start warming up in case they get up here.
Piper: Uh, ok.
.
Phoebe: (Sighs) Be ready to blow them up.
Piper: I knew that.
Phoebe: Shure ya did. (Smiles)
(Darklighters sense Leo and shadow in)
Leo: DARKLIGHTERS!
(Darklighter tries to hit Leo with an arrow, but he dodges it)
Piper: Get out of here, Leo!
(Leo orbs out)
Darklighter: .....Filthy witches.
Piper: No you didn't just try to kill my man! (Piper uses her power to blow them up)
(Darklighters scream in pain as they disintegrate)
Phoebe: And that's for calling us filthy!
Piper: Leo?
(Leo orbs back in)
Leo: You ok?
Phoebe: Oh yeah. Piper just kicked some DL ass.
PIper: That's right.
Leo: I'm glad you're ok.
(Demons flame in)
Prue: Look out!
(Crystals activate and the demons are immobilized)
Leo: It worked!
Prue: Get to it, Piper!
(Piper blows up each of the demons)
Piper: And that's that.
Prue: Yeah, but don't get too cocky, they may be gone, but we still have the Source to deal with.
Leo: You guys shouldn't go anywhere near him -- It's too dangerous. You've been too reckless lately, and I think it's time you guys take it a little slower. If you were more careful, none of this would've happened in the first place.
Prue: That may be true, but we can't just sit here and fend off more assassins. We have to come uth ath a plan.
Piper: I agree. If the Source has Phoebe under a contract, then we have to do whatever we can to break it.
Phoebe: But shouldn't him trying to kill me have broken it?
Leo: Well, it is the Source, so I don't think he'll be playing fair. He wants you, and he's probably keeping Cole to be used as bait for you.
Prue: Phoebe would never risk her life for him.
Phoebe: Yes, I would.
Piper: (Sighs) Uh, here we go.
Prue: Phoebe, You can't save Cole. He's a still a demon. That hasn't changed.
Phoebe: Hello, you think I forgot? He's also half-human, Prue.
Piper: Alright, let's not start this again.
Prue: We let you go down there and look what happened.
Phoebe: How could I've known what was going to happen? I made the deal to save Piper's life!
Prue: Both of your lives wouldn't have been in danger if you hadyed yed with your sisters!
Phoebe: You think I don't know that?
Leo: Look, none of you are at fault here.
Piper: If you two don't stop fighting over this I'm gonna explode all over the place -- and it won't be pretty.
Prue: Piper...
PIper: Prue. (Raises eyebrows) You said it was ok for her to go down there, so neither one fo you can talk. Now, we need a plan. Work with me here.
Leo: Piper is right. Saving Phoebe should be our priority.
Piper: Of co I a I am right. (Grabs leo and plants a big one on him)
Leo: ......
Phoebe and Prue: ???
Piper: Heh. LET'S GO KICK SOME ASS! (Piper stands tall and walks to the door with a smile on her face)
Piper: Let's go! What you all waiting for?
Prue: Um, ok. Piper... Forget it, let's go!
(All 4 walk downstairs with Piper in front)
Prue: Ok, fearless leader, you have a plan?
Piper: Well, I admit it's not the safest, but I think that option is long gone now.
Phoebe: what is it?
Piper: It goes like this--
[time lapse. Cut to Underworld. The Source and his Seer are discussing something]
Source: Really?
Seer: Yes. But in order to ensure it's effectiveness, we'll need uninterrupted time.
Source: Then I must make the necessary sacrifice...
Seer: Yes.
Source: Very well. I am putting my faith in your power, do not fail me!
(Leo orbs the sisters down to the underworld)
Leo: This is where Phoebe, Cole and I were. The Source should be close by because Cole didn't take long to go to him and return.
Prue: Alright then, let's go.
(Seer senses the COs presence and tells the Source)
Source: What is it, Seer?
Seer: The Charmed Ones have appeared in the underworld.
Source: What?
Seer: They're nearby.
Source: I see... I will send some of my best to fight them.
Seer: Now would be the perfect opportunity to do what was planned.
Source: Let's see how this turns out, first.
Seer: Very well.
(Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Leo and heading through the caves in the direction Cole went earlier.)
Prue: Where are all the Guards?
Piper: What did I tell you? The Source sent most of them after us in our world.
Phoebe: Does that means they're shorthanded right now?
Prue: Good plan, Piper.
Piper: Why thank you.
Leo: Pay closer attention to your surroundings guys.
Piper: Don't steal my thunder, honey.
Leo: ...Huh? Oh, sorry.
(A demon pops up in front of them)
Phoebe: OH!
(Prue uses her TK on him)
Prue: Piper!
PIper: Got it.
(Piper blew the demon up)
Prue: That was too close.
(Several demons appear in front of them)
(Piper freezes time)
Piper: Step right up and get your asses blown off.
(Three more demons appear)
Prue: Not again.
(Piper tries to freeze them, but it doesn't work. Phoebe levitates and drop kicks one of them, and Prue TKs another against the wall. Piper dodges one, but it hits Leo.)
Piper: Leo!
Leo: Blow him up, Piper!
Piper: What about you?!
Leo: I'll be fine, remember?
Piper: O-ok, honey.
(Piper blew up the demon and Leo)
(Leo orbed back)
Prue: Piper! Some help here!
Piper: Take that!
(Piper blows up demon attacking Prue)
Phoebe: Little sister in danger of dying here!
(Piper blows up demon attacking Phoebe)
Piper: It's a good thing I never run out of... Wait. Can we run out?
Prue: We can't stop now. Hurry!
Piper: Hey!
Phoebe: ...
(A barrier stops the sisters from entering the source's room)
Prue: Careful!
Piper: My work is never done!
(Piper tries to blow up the barrier, but fails)
Piper: And now I've been brought back down to earth.
Prue: What about the spell?
Phoebe: Got it. But will it work on his barrier?
Prue: I don't know, but we have to try. This may be our only chance to kill the Source once-and-for-all.
Source: WITCHES.
Piper: What the h-e-l-l?
Source: You DARE try to enter my chambers uninvited!?
Prue: ...?
Piper: You DARE send assassins to our house, uninvited?
Source: ENOUGH! Foolish girl. Listen well, because I will only offer this ONCE.
Prue: Offer?
Source: I will release your sister from the contract IF you banish yourselves from the underworld, forever.
Leo: Banish?
Source: SILENCE!
Piper: Don't talk to my husband like that you motherfu... (Prue interrupts)
Prue: You'll let our sister go for that?
Source: Yes. And I will also pass a four-month truce between our worlds.
Phoebe: ......
Prue: What makes you think we'd just throw away the opportunity to kill you?
Source: You'd never make it past the barrier unless you were evil. But since you won't swing that way, I'll settle for this. I really have no interest in the witch anymore. Take the deal before I change my mind and you all die.
Prue: (Pauses) What do you guys think?
Phoebe: What about Cole?
Source: He is not a part of this agreement.
Phoebe: We'll accept only if Cole is allowed to return with us.
Prue: Phoebe.
Phoebe: Don't, Prue.
[Cut to Source's chamber.]
Seer: Grant their request.
Source: Will it make a difference?
Seer: No.
Source: Hmm. Very well.
[Cut to the room outside the Source's chamber]
Source: I will add that to the agreement, but nothing more.
Phoebe: Cole... Where is he?
(Cole shimmers in)
Cole: Phoebe!
Phoebe: Cole!
(They embrace)
Prue: (Looks to piper) Piper, what do you think we should do?
Piper: (Nods head) I don't know! I can't think of everything. You're the super-witch.
Prue: "Super witch"?
Piper: I'm worried now that we might not win, but I don't want to give up the chance to be free of that bastard.
Prue: Fine. Then I'll decide for us.
Piper: Ugh.
Source: Give me your decision, now!
(Demons appear behind the sisters and Leo)
Prue: (Looks at Phoebe for a second) All right, we accept.
Source: Excellent. Now, cast a spell to banish yourselves.
Phoebe: A spell?
Cole: He can't banish you himself. You have to do it of your own free will.
Prue: What's the difference?
Leo: Well, if you say it with the power of 3, and of your own free will, it'll work and you'll be banished from here forever just like he said.
Cole: Downside is you can never launch another attack like this again. If you don't do it, he will hunt Phoebe down 'til she and the rest of you are dead.
Piper: That means we'll never be rid of him.
Prue: Ok, backtracking, we can't spend our lives avoiding him. If we have a chance then we should take it.
Phoebe: Prue. We're surrounded!
Prue: !!!
Source: My patience is wearing thin! Banish yourselves or DIE!
Phoebe: The Source is something that has been around for who knows how long. Our destiny is to protect the innocent. Some things can't be helped.
Prue: I already know why you want to, but if we can...
Leo: I-I...think you should do it.
Piper: Let's just do it already. I can't blow up his entire army.
Source: Last chance!
(The demons move closer)
Prue: (Nervously) A-Alright! Phoebe? Spell.
Phoebe: Um. okay. (Thinks) ~We void our access, our world to underworld... no more Halliwells in hell unless hell is Halliwells'...~
(Everyone including the Source sighs)
Phoebe: Don't give me that look.
Prue: Alright, let's do it together now.
Cole: Wait. You should ask for this in writing.
Piper: He's right.
Cole: Hello, Source. They want the deal in writing first.
Source: ...Here. A copy of our agreement. (A scroll appears in front of the sisters. Leo checks it out.)
Leo: ...It's all here.
Prue: Right.
(Prue, Piper and Phoebe say the spell together)
[Time lapse]
Phoebe: Uh... did it work?
Piper: That's just g-r-e-a-t. (Rolls eyes)
Prue: ...
Source: (To Seer) Did it work?!
Seer: Yes. Wait.
(A light surrounds the sisters and they are pulled through a portal)
[Scene: Alley. The sisters rise from the portal.]
Piper: What the hell?
Prue: We're back in our world?
Phoebe: Well I didn't specify the location it should banish us to, just our world.
Piper: This BETTER be our world. One huge drama a day is all I can take, thank you.
(Prue checks things out)
Prue: Yeah, I know this street.
Piper: Let me get this straight -- the Source lives under an alley Pho Phoebe: Doesn't surprise me one bit.
Piper: Whatever, Phoebe.
Phoebe: ?
Prue: I got us a taxi. Let's go.
Phoebe: Wait a minute. Something isn't right here.
Piper: I feel that too.
Prue: C'mon!
Piper: Wait your butt for a sec, k?
Phoebe: I don't see Cole or Leo!!
Piper: WHAT?!
Phoebe: The spell was meant for us, not them!
Piper: PHOEBE!
Phoebe: He said us, and we were under a lot of pressure! I'm sorry. And hello, my man is down there too!
Piper: UGH! I cannot believe this! What if something happened to Leo?!
Phoebe: And Cole.
Piper: Who cares about Cole?
Phoebe: I do! And thanks a lot, Piper. He's only my soulmate.
Prue: What are you two getting so worked up for? All they have to do is orb and shimmer up here.
(Piper and Phoebe breath a sigh of relief but feel stupid for not realizing this sooner)
Prue: You two, I swear. Sometimes...
Piper: Sometimes what?
Prue: ...Nothing. Let's just get home.
(Cole and Leo appear behind Phoebe and Piper. Cole smacks Phoebe's behind and Leo touches Piper's shoulder)
Phoebe: WHOAA!
Piper: AAH!
(Both turn around and Phoebe instinctively kicks Cole in the balls, while Piper blows up Leo)
Cole: AARGH! (Cole falls to his knees in agony)
(Leo explodes into mini-whitelighter pieces)
Piper: LEO!
Phoebe: COLE! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?
(Cole's face is red, and he is out of breath. Leo orbs back in one piece)
o: Po: Piper! I could've been an innocent!
Piper: Well, I'm sorry! It just the nerves from what just happened below.
Leo: Still.
Piper: I know.
Leo: Innocent could've died.
Piper: I K-N-O-W! I G-E-T IT! I'M S-O-R-R-Y!
Leo: ...I know you are.
Phoebe: (To Cole) Are they ok?
Cole: Yeah, they're alright. Or what's left of them.
(Phoebe hugs Cole and kisses him)
Cole: No, Phoebe, the last thing I want to think about is sex! Please. I don't need anything to move down there for at least a day.
Phoebe: Oh, sorry. hehe. I promise to take good care of you tonight. I'm so glad it's over and we're back together again.
(Piper and Leo look at them and sigh)
Prue: (Sighs) My two dramaqueen sisters. Can we go home now? I'm bored.
Piper: Be quite you. You're just jealous. (Kisses Leo)
Prue: If you guys don't move it I'm gonna pull a Piper!
(Phoebe, Cole and Leo smile and laugh)
Piper: What are you all laughing at?! Prue, what did you mean by that?
Prue: Oh, nothing.
Piper: No, missy, You better tell me!
Phoebe: Relax, Piper......Get over it.
Piper: Excuse me??
Cole: Yeah, Piper.
Piper: HEY! (Points finger at Cole) Stay outta this or you won't have anything left to lose if you know what I mean. (Her finger lowers toward Cole's special wounded area)
Cole: Heh... Eeh.
Phoebe: Don't talk to him like that.
Piper: Grgh! (Heads in Prue's direction to confront her)
Prue: ?
Piper: Don't give me that puzzled look.
Prue: What are you talking about?
Piper: I want to know what you meant by "pulling a Piper".
Prue: Don't worry about it. Let's just get home already. Leo? Orb us home, please.
Leo: Of course. (Leo grabs Piper and Prue and orbs them home)
Cole: Ready to go?
Phoebe: Not yet. I want to talk to you about something for a minute.
Cole: What?
Phoebe: Let's go for a walk first.
(They walk outside the alley and sit on a bench nearby)
Cole: So?
Phoebe: Nothing.
Cole: Nothing?
Phoebe: I just wanted to have a moment with you away from all that excitement.
Cole: You mean the Source.
Phoebe: And my sisters.
Cole: Uh-huh.
(Phoebe and Cole sit quietly for a moment)
Phoebe: So... you think the Source will really keep his part of the bargain?
Cole: I think so. Although I think it's weird that he would throw the ball in your court when he probably could've taken you all easily.
Phoebe: I guess. At least all my sisters are alive, and you and I are free.
Cole: There's always a catch, Phoebe. Never forget that. I suspect he is up to something that requires the four months. If I were you guys I wouldn't let my guard down.
Phoebe: ...But what? What kind of plan takes that long?
Cole: It's very unusual.
Phoebe: Wait a minute.
Cole: Hmm?
Phoebe: That alley... it's the one where we first met.
Cole: You sure?
Phoebe: Yes.
Cole: Think it means somet?
?
Phoebe: We should head back to the manor.
Cole: ...Alright. Take my hand.
Phoebe: No. Let's walk.
Cole: If you say so.
[Time lapse. Cut to Manor. Piper is cleaning up the glass from the broken windows on the front door, and covering the openings with duct taPruePrue walks towards Piper after calling Darryl]
Prue: Darryl's on his way.
Piper: What did he say about our situation?
Prue: Nothing good. As it stands right now, we'll be considered the number one suspects.
Piper: I guess killing the Source doesn't really matter 'cause we're facing jail time!
Prue: Not if we get our stories straight.
Piper: Yeah, but it has to be a GOOD ONE. And it doesn't look like we'll be able to come up with a good one from the way ooksooks.
Prue: All I know is we have to do whatever possible to prove our innocence.
Piper: Oh sure. Let's tell them he died while under our protection.
Prue: Piper, calm down. Pace yourself, relax on the couch, whatever. I'll figure it out with Darryl's help.
(Piper walks away mumbling "Calm down, she says! That's funny coming from someone who literally runs on stress!")
Prue: I can hear you, Piper.
Piper: Blah, blah, blah. It's just your wacky, crazy sister rambling away. Nothin' to worry about!
(Prue folds her arms and sighs)
[Time lapse. Darryl arrives at the manor and meets Prue in the living room and they begin to discuss what to do]
Darryl: From how it looks, no one would believe that any of you could do that to Griffith unless they knew you were witches.
Prue: So -- tha that mean we're alright on this?
Darryl: Not necessarily. You're still going to be suspects. But I can say that I showed up and caught a glimpse of the perpetrator as he killed him, but...
Prue: But what?
Darryl: We're going to have to give a description of him or her. That's where it gets tricky.
Prue: I see. First we would have to explain why he was with us, then try and give a vague description to avoid getting any innocents in trouble.
(Darryl and Prue discuss it more thoroughly)
[Time lapse. Phoebe and Cole arrive at the manor. They see Prue and Darryl discussing something]
Phoebe: Hey.
Prue: Where the hell have you been?
Phoebe: Huh? Walking home for a change.
Prue: We still have important non-demonic issues to deal with.
Piper: Like p-r-i-s-o-n for w-o-m-e-n.
(Cole laughs)
Phoebe: (Squints eyes) I see someone's off her medication.
Piper: (Piper gives Phoebe a dirty look) (Sarcastic tone) I'd have to be, wouldn't I? I think I'll go raid Phoebe's stash for a quick fix. Buh-Bye! (Piper walks upstairs)
Phoebe: ...I think I need to talk to her in private. (Phoebe heads upstairs after Piper)
Prue: Sisters.
Cole: Can't live with them, can't live without them.
(Prue gives Cole a look)
Prue: Don't think just because my sisters are safe right now, that you've been forgiven for causing the whole situation in the first place.
Cole: So now you guys are going to blame me? I didn't tell Phoebe to come after me down there. She did it of her own free will in case you forgot.
Prue: Because of her feelings for you. And just for the record -- I may tolerate you now because of her, but if I could've killed you before you came into our lives I wouldn't hesitate. Just thought I'd let you know so there won' any any questions in the future. (Smiles)
Cole: Careful. I find the idea kinda sexy. (Winks) Not that I'd blame you seeing as how I 'was' evil. I'll prove myself to you, Prue. You'll see that I can be a good man and asset.
Prue: Wink at me again and I'll move your eyes out.
(Darryl walks up to Prue)
Darryl: I need your ok to go with the story.
Cole: What happened?
(Darryl told Cole what happened)
Cole: Well, I could dump him somewhere else.
Prue: I knew that'd be right up your alley.
Cole: What? I'm making a suggestion.
Prue: Doing that doesn't put you in a 'good guy' light. We're going to do this as honestly as possible.
Cole: And risk being connected to this mess? That's a little reckless, don't you think? Being the protector of the family you have to look out for not only your sisters but the future of the Charmed Ones. Let me handle it and you'll be back to your normal lives like nothing ever happened. So how about it?
Darryl: Not that I agree with that idea, Prue, but it's an option. And I hate to say it, but it seems like the safest for you guys.
Prue: I don't need a lesson on morals or ethics from a demon. Especially when it comes to my family. You may want to take the easy way out of this, but not all of us are evil.
Cole: Heh. I get it. I wasn't suggesting evil, just a way out of something that could hurt your future.
Prue: That's awfully nice of you, but it's not your decision to make.
Cole: I'm willing to bet your sisters will have a different opinion on this. You can't make a decision without the greenlight from your sisters, right? That's what a team is about.
Prue: You're one step away from flying out the door. Keep it up.
Cole: Fine. But I shouldn't worry because I know you'll do the 'right' thing. (Gives one of his trademark cocky smiles and walks into the living room to sit down)
Prue: ...Darryl? Keep an eye on him while I talk to my sisters.
Darryl: Uh... Sure. But we can't wait much longer.
(Prue walks upstairs)
(Cut to Phoebe and Piper in Phoebe's room)
Phoebe: Stop snapping at me and tell me why you're so pissed off!
Piper: I don't need to tell you because you should already know. Where's the meds for my condition, btw?
Phoebe: (rolls eyes) Piper. Get serious. I don't want you to be mad at me for the next few weeks without at least giving me a chance to fix things.
Piper: Phoebe. What you need to do right now is leave me alone. That includes NOT following me! Besides, we have a truce! hee.
Phoebe: ...I'm going to stick to your butt like glue until we deal with whatever it is that's bothering you.
Piper: UGH!
Phoebe: Quit dodging!
Piper: (Snaps) Don't you lecture me on dodging things! Unless you want to add hypocrite to the list?
Phoebe: So there's a list, huh?
Piper: (Sarcasm) No, there's just a post-it.
Phoebe: Piper. Please just tell me. Enough with the walls.
(Prue walks in)
Prue: I need to talk to you guys.
Piper: Take a number!
Prue: Whoa, what did you say to her, Phoebe?
Phoebe: I didn't 'say' anything. It's her that won't talk!
Piper: I am talking. See? Talk, talk, talk. Now out of my way! (Piper pushes through them into the hall)
Prue: Piper!
Phoebe: You can't get away!
Piper: Yes I can! (Piper starts running towards her room)
Phoebe: Oh no you don't! (Phoebe runs after but Piper beats her and shuts the door in her face)
Phoebe: Piper! Open this door, now!
Piper: The sign says "Do not disturb."
Phoebe: There's no sign so I can disturb.
Piper: This is the part where I start to completely ignore you.
Phoebe: You know that's impossible for you.
(Piper is silent)
Phoebe: C'mon, Piper. Please? Pretty please??
(Prue walks up to the door)
Prue: What the hell is going on between you two?
Phoebe: I don't know, but it started when we got to the alley.
Prue: Piper?
Piper: What!
Prue: Don't bite my head off, but we need to make a decision regarding the doctor right now. Whatever you two are dealing with needs to be put on hold until after it's taken care of.
Piper: I'm not coming out.
Prue: You need to, Piper.
Piper: If you have something to tell me, you're gonna have to astral yourself in here 'cause I ain't opening the door so she can sneak in!
Phoebe: Hey!
Prue: I'm not going to astral in there. Just come out.
Piper: Take it or leave it.
Prue: (Sighs) Piper.
Piper: Prue.
Prue: (Breathes) I'm just going to tell you through the door.
Piper: Fine.
Prue: Whatever. Just put your head on the door and listen.
Phoebe: I could levitate to her window.
Piper: Not if I close it, first! (Piper closes window and locks it)
Phoebe: Fine! You win.
Prue: Just listen!
(Prue tells them their options.)
Piper: ...
Phoebe: ...I think we should let Cole take care of it.
Prue: Of course you do.
Phoebe: Huh?
Prue: Nothing.
Piper: Ugh. Just let Cole deal with it. I want a break.
Prue: What is with you two? Cole's idea is no different than one of us dumping the body.
Piper: It's not illegal if a demon does it.
Prue: I can't believe you, Piper.
Phoebe: Oh, but you can believe me? Gee, thanks! I'll just be downstairs sucking face with my (Aims voice at Piper's door) E-V-I-L,-M-O-M-O-N L-O-V-E-R. (Phoebe heads downstairs)
Piper: Did you hear that, Prue? I sure didn't.
Prue: She's gone now, Piper. Let me in.
(Piper lets Prue inside the room)
Prue: Please tell me you're seriserious about using Cole's plan?
Piper: In case you hadn't noticed, I've been serious this whole time.
Prue: Why are you angry at Phoebe?
Piper: It's... Just that... (Sighs) Everything that happened and was avoided today started to sink in once we banished ourselves.
Prue: So you're mad at her because you feel she's responsible?
Piper: Sort of. I died in that other... 'place'. I can't help but feel like this whole mess wouldn't have happened if she... Or I...
Prue: You, what?
Piper: ...If I hadn't, I don't know. I just feel like I failed as a sister and now I'm being punished for it.
Prue: Piper, If anyone failed it was me.
Piper: No. I'm her older sister, too. We hung out more growing up... That bond should've helped...
Prue: Don't blame yourself, Piper. And don't forget that if it's anyones fault it's Cole's. He seduced Phoebe into getting involved with him.
Piper: I think he, or at least his human side, loves her. You have to give him that.
Prue: As long as there's demon in him, there's a tendency to do evil. The fact that he's half human makes it worse because he wasn't 'just' a demon when he did alose ose things.
Piper: ...I just need time for these emotions to play themselves out so I can think more rationally. I just need time...
Prue: And you'll get it. Especially if this truce holds up.
(Prue hugs Piper)
Prue: You take it easy while I go downstairs and tell them our decision.
Piper: You're going to agree with Cole's...
Prue: Yes and No.
Piper: hmm?
Prue: Having Leo orb him some place else for Darryl to find him sounds right.
Piper: You're serious?
Prue: Do me a favor and tell Leo about it.
Piper: (Smiles) I thought I was getting some time to myself?
Prue: (Squints eyes) I forgot. I'll take care of it, then. (Prue leaves the room)
[Cut to the living room. Leo orbs in]
Leo: Hey. Where are your sisters, Phoebe?
Phoebe: Upstairs.
(Prue walks into the living room)
Prue: Leo? Can I talk to you in private?
Leo: Um, sure. (Leo follows Prue into the kitchen)
Prue: I'm going to cut to the chase. Leo, we need you to orb the doctor to another place for Darryl to find him.
Leo: What? Why can't you guys just tell the police?
Prue: Because, it's too complicated to get out of it without raising suspicion. Piper and Phoebe are behind this idea.
Leo: Where's Piper?
Prue: Restingd nod now wouldn't be a good time to orb up there. She was going to ask you this, but the resting got in the way.
Leo: I don't know. Where should I orb him?
Prue: I'll have to ask Darryl.
(Prue and Leo return to the living room)
Phoebe: So...
Prue: Darryl. Where should we leave the doctor for you to find?
Phoebe: Huh?
Cole: ?
Darryl: Well, probably his house or near the hospital.
Cole: Alright. (Stands up) I'll be back.
Prue: Okay. Leo, take him there.
Leo: ...Alright.
Cole: Huh? You're sending Leo?
Prue: Do you have a problem with that?
Cole: I guess not. (Sits back down)
(Phoebe gives Prue a look. Leo orbs the doctor and Darryl out)
Prue: Darryl will take it from there. Let's hope things work out.
Phoebe: Prue?
Prue: What?
Phoebe: Cole. Excuse us.
Cole: ...Alright. I'll be at the mausoleum. (Shimmers out)
Phoebe: Why didn't you let Cole do it?
Prue: Why should I have?
Phoebe: Because it was his idea.
Prue: Just consider it looking out for your future.
Phoebe: ...
(Prue walks towards the front door, opens it, and steps out)
Phoebe: (Walks toward Prue but stops a few feet away) ...Things'll get better, Prue.
Prue: (Whispers) We'll see.
(Prue closes her eyes, breathes and walks back into the manor)
Prue: ......
(Prue turns around, looks at the open door, and uses her power to close it.)
