"Something Wicca This Way Comes" Episode: #1.1 - 7 October 1998 Serena: Here, baby.

( Cat meows ) come on, baby. Good girl. ( Chanting ) Auger de gomay. Auger de gomay. ( Meows ) Serena: ( singsong chant ) Ancient one of the earth so deep, master of moon and sun, I shield you in my Wicca way here in my circle round. Asking you, protect this space, and offer your sun force down. Mmm. ( Sighs ) what are you doing her e? ( Screams ) ( thunder crashing ) ________________________________________ Piper: Prue? Prue: In here, working on the chandelier. Piper: Sorry I'm late. Prue: What else is new? You know, Piper, I would've been here to meet the elect rician myself, but you know I can't leave the museum until 6:00. I haven't even had time to change. Piper: I just... I didn't realize how long I was in Chinatown. Did Jeremy call? Prue: No, but he had some roses and a package delivered. What were you doing in Chinatown? I thought that you had an interview in North Beach. Piper: I did, but I went to Young Lee Market after my interview to get the ingr edients for my audition recipe tomorrow. Prue: So that Wolfgang Puck knockoff didn't hire you today? Piper: No, but this just may get me the job. Prue: Jeremy sent you port? Piper: It's the ultimate ingredient for my recipe. Prue: Nice boyfriend. Piper: Oh, my god! I don't believe it. Tell me that's not our old spirit board. Prue: Yeah. I found it in the basement when I was looking for the circuit teste r. Piper: "To my three beautiful girls. "May this give you the light to find the s hadows. "The Power of Three will set you free. Love, Mom." We never did figure o ut what this inscription meant. Prue: Well, we should send it to Phoebe. That girl is so in the dark, maybe a l ittle bit of light will help. Piper: You're always so hard on her. Prue: Piper, the girl has no vision, no sense of the future. Piper: I really think Phoebe's coming around. Prue: Well, as long as she doesn't come around here, I guess that's good news. ( Thunder rumbling ) ( Piper sighs ) ________________________________________ Theme song: I am the son and the heir I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does see, I've already waited too long and all my hope is gone. ________________________________________ ( Sirens wailing ) ( garbled radio transmissions ) Darryl: okay. Okay, okay. We have two units on it now. Well, it's about time! Andy: I got here as soon as I heard. Another dead female, right? Mid to late 20s ? Darryl: I've been paging you for over an hour, Trudeau. Where have you been? Andy: Oakland, checking out a lead. Darryl: What lead? Andy: One that didn't go anywhere. Darryl: You're avoiding my question. Andy: Because you don't want to know I went to an occult shop.

Darryl: You hate me, don't you? You want to see me suffer. Andy: I want to solve these murders. Someone's after witches. Darryl: Women. Andy: That woman up there, I'll bet she was killed with an athame. Darryl: Wrong. Double-edged steel knife. Andy: Right. That's an athame. It's a ceremonial tool. Witches use them to direc t energy. Darryl: That woman didn't direct Jack. She was stabbed. Plain and simple. Andy: Was she found near an altar? Darryl: Yes. Andy: Were there carvings on that altar? Darryl: Just do me a favor. Don't ever follow a lead without checking with me fi rst. Andy: You want to go to occult shops? Darryl: Just get to work, okay? Jeremy: Inspector Trudeau! Jeremy Burns, San Francisco Chronicle. You care to c omment? Andy: A woman was stabbed... plain and simple. Jeremy: Well, that's the third one in three weeks. ________________________________________ ( Thunder rumbling ) ( thunder crashing ) Prue: I don't get it. I have checked everything. There's no reason why the chan delier should not be working. Piper: Uh, you know how we've been talking about what to do with that spare roo m? I think you're right. We do need a roommate. Prue: Well, we could rent out the room at a reduced rate in exchange for help a round the house. Piper: Phoebe's good with a wrench. Prue: Phoebe lives in New York. Piper: Not anymore. Prue: What? Piper: She left New York. She's moving back in with us. Prue: ( Sighs ) you've got to be kidding. Piper: Well, I could hardly say no. It's her house, too. It was willed to all o f us. Prue: Yeah, months ago, and we haven't seen or spoken to her since. Piper: Well, you haven't spoken to her. Prue: No, I haven't. Look, maybe you've forgotten why I'm so mad at her. Piper: No, of course not. But she had nowhere else to go. She lost her job. She 's in debt. Prue: And this is news? How long have you known about this ,anyway? Piper: A couple of days. Maybe a week... or two. Prue: Thanks for sharing. When does she arrive? Phoebe: Surprise! I found the hide-a-key. Piper: Phoebe, welcome home! Phoebe: Hello, Piper. It's so good to see you! Piper: Hi. Isn't it, Prue? Prue: I'm speechless. ( Horn honking ) Phoebe: oops! I forgot about the cab. Piper: I'll get it. Prue: Piper, that's my purse. Phoebe: Thanks. I'll pay it back. Prue: Is that all that you brought? Phoebe: That's all that I own. That and a bike. Look, I know that you don't wan t me here. Prue: We're not selling Grams' house. Phoebe: Is that why you think I came back? Prue: Look, the only reason Piper and I gave up our apartment and moved back he re was because this house has been in our family for generations.

Phoebe: No history lesson needed. I grew up here, too. So can we talk about wha t's really bothering you? Prue: No. I'm still furious with you. Phoebe: So you'd rather have a tense reunion filled with boring chitchat and un important small talk. Prue: No, but otherwise we won't have anything to talk about. Phoebe: I never touched Roger. Prue: Whoa. Phoebe: I know you think otherwise, because that's what that Armani-wearing, Ch ardonnay-slugging trust-funder told you, but... Piper: hey! I have a great idea. Why don't I make a fabulous reunion dinner? Prue: I'm not hungry. Phoebe: I ate on the bus. Piper: Okay, we'll try the group hug later. ________________________________________ Reporter: I'm at an apartment building on the corner of Eighth and Franklin, wh ere a murder occurred earlier this evening. The victim, believed to be a nurse a t County General, was reportedly stabbed to death in her apartment. Piper: ( Knocking on door ) it's me. Phoebe: Come on in. God! I am starving. Piper: Figured. Hey... that's my boyfriend Jeremy. What happened? Phoebe: Oh, some woman got whacked. Piper: "Whacked"? Phoebe, you've been in New York way too long. Phoebe: Yeah. I should have stayed. Why didn't you tell Prue I was coming back? Piper: And risk her changing the locks? I don't think so. Besides, you should h ave been the one to tell her, not me. Phoebe: Good point, Chicken Little. It's just so hard for me to talk to her. Sh e's always been more like a mother. Piper: That's not her fault. She practically had to sacrifice her own childhood her own childhood to help... to help raise us. Phoebe: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Piper: Hey, we were lucky she was so responsible. You and I had it easy. All we had to do was be there. Phoebe: Yeah, well, I don't need a mom anymore, you know? I need a sister. Prue: Hey. This was always the coldest room in the house. Phoebe: Thanks. ( Thunder crashing ) ________________________________________ Andy: it's the same tattoo that was on the other two victims. Darryl: So the murderer is killing cultists. Andy: No. The murderer's on a witch hunt. Darryl: Oh, yeah. He's 500 years old and he lives in Salem. Look around, Trudea u. Pentagrams, altars, offerings. All tools for a freak fest. Andy: They call them sabbats and this was hardly a freak fest. She was a solita ry practitioner. She practiced her craft alone. Darryl: Mm... Andy: Let me ask you something, Morris. Do you believe in UFO's? Darryl: Hell no. Andy: Neither do I. But do you believe there are people out there who do believ e in UFO's? Darryl: Yes, but I think they're crazy. Andy: Well, then why can't you believe there are people who believe they are wi tches? Darryl: Look, all I know is if you don't stop talking about witches, I'm going to start questioning you. ( Cat meows ) I'd stay away from that cat, Trudeau. It 's been clawing the crap out of everybody. See you at the car. Andy: ( Smooching ) come here. ________________________________________ Phoebe: I'm glad to hear you and Jeremy are still together. Where did you meet

him, anyway? Piper: We met at the hospital cafeteria the day Grams was admitted. He was cove ring a story, and I was bawling over a bagel, so he handed me a napkin. Phoebe: How romantic. Piper: As a matter of fact, it was. The napkin had his phone number on it. ( Ch uckles ) Stop pushing the pointer. Phoebe: I'm not touching it. Piper: You used to always push the pointer. More popcorn? Phoebe: Hey, I forgot your question. Piper: I asked if Prue would have sex with someone other than herself this year . Phoebe: That's disgusting. Please say "yes." Piper? ( Gasps ) Piper, get in her e! Piper: What? Prue: What did you guys do now? Piper: Me? I didn't do anything. Phoebe: The pointer on the spirit board, it moved on its own. I'm serious. It s pelled "A-T." Piper: Well, did you push it? Phoebe: No. Prue: You always used to push the pointer. Phoebe: My fingers were barely touching it. Look. Aah! It did it again. It move d! Prue: It's still on the letter "T." Phoebe: I swear it moved. There. Look. You saw that, right? Piper: I think so, yeah. Phoebe: I told you I wasn't touching it. Piper: Prue! Can you come in here a sec? Prue: Now what? Phoebe: I think it's trying to tell us something. "Attic." ________________________________________ Prue: Don't you think you're overreacting? We are perfectly safe here. Piper: Don't say that. In horror movies, the person who says that is always the next to die. Prue: It is pouring rain, there's a psycho on the loose, Jeremy's not even home . Piper: So I'll... I'll... I'll wait in the cab till he gets home from work. Prue: That'll be cheap. Piper: Prue, I saw that pointer move. Prue: No. Look, what you saw was Phoebe's fingers pushing the pointer. There's nothing in the attic. She's playing a joke on us. Piper: We don't know that. Prue: We've lived in this house for months now, and we've never been able to ge t that attic door open. Piper: Great! Now the phone doesn't work. Prue: Yeah, the power's out. Look, just go with me to the basement. Piper: What? Prue: I need you to hold the flashlight while I check out the main circuit box. Piper: Phoebe will go with you to the basement, won't you, Phoebe? Phoebe: Nope, I'm going to the attic. Prue: No, you're not. We already agreed. Phoebe: I am not waiting for some handyman to check out the attic, and I'm cert ainly not waiting until tomorrow. I am going now. Piper: Prue, wait! ( Grunting ) ( door unlatches ) ( creaks ) ( thunder rumbles ) ( thunder rumbles ) Phoebe: "The Book of Shadows." ( Thunder rumbles ) "Hear now the words of the w itches, "the secrets we hid in the night. "The oldest of gods are invoked here. "The great work of magic is sought. "In this night and in this hour, "I call upo

n the ancient power. "Bring your powers to we sisters three. "We want the power. Give us the power." ( Glass tinkling ) Prue: what are you doing? Phoebe: Uh, reading... an incantation. It was in this Book of Shadows. I foun d it in that trunk. Prue: Let me see that. Piper: How did you get in here? Phoebe: The door opened. Piper: Wait a minute. An incantation? What kind of incantation? Phoebe: It said something about there being three essentials of magic: Timing, feeling, and the phases of the moon. If we were ever going to do this, now, midn ight on a full moon... is the most powerful time. Piper: "This?" Do what "this?" Phoebe: Receive our powers. Piper: What powers? Wait. Our powers? You included me in this? Prue: No, she included all of us. "Bring your powers to we sisters three." It 's a book of witchcraft. Piper: Let me see that. ( Thunder crashes ) Prue: Spirit boards, books of witchcraft. It figures all this freaky stuff start ed when you arrived. Phoebe: Hey, I wasn't the one that found the spirit board. Prue: It wasn't my fingers sliding around on the pointer. Piper: It doesn't matter because nothing happened, right, Phoebe, when you did the incantation? Phoebe: Well, my head spun around, and I vomited split pea soup. How should I k now? Piper: Well, everything looks the same. Phoebe: You're right. Prue: But the house still needs work. Piper: Everything feels the same, so nothing's changed, right? ________________________________________ Piper: You're up early. Phoebe: I never went to sleep. Piper: Don't tell me you put on a black conical hat and spent the night flying around the neighborhood on a broomstick. Phoebe: The only broom I've ever had was kept in a closet beside a mop. Piper: So what were you doing? Phoebe: Reading. Is Prue around? Piper: She went to work early. Reading aloud? Phoebe: No, but... according to the book of shadows, one of our ancestors was a witch named Melinda Warren. Piper: And we have a cousin who's a drunk, an aunt who's manic, and a father wh o's invisible. Phoebe: I'm serious. She practiced powers, three powers. She could move objects with her mind, see the future, and stop time. Before Melinda was burned at the stake, she vowed that each generation of warren witches would become stronger an d stronger, culminating in the arrival of three sisters. Now, these sisters woul d be the most powerful witches the world has ever known. They're good witches, a nd I think we're those sisters. Piper: Look, I know what happened last night was weird and unexplainable, but w e are not witches, and we do not have special powers. Besides, Grams wasn't a wi tch, and as far as we know, neither was Mom. So take that, Nancy Drew. Phoebe: We're the protectors of the innocent. ( Sing-song voice ) We're known a s "The Charmed Ones." ________________________________________ Roger: There's been a change of plans. Prue: Change of plans? Regarding the Beals Exhibition? Roger: The extra money that you helped raise through private donations has spar ked significant corporate interest. The Beals artifacts will now become part of

our permanent collection. Prue: Well, that's terrific. Roger: Which is why the board wants someone a little more... qualified to handl e the collection from now on. You look surprised. Prue: I don't know why. I'm furious. Not only have I been on this project since its inception, but I'm the curator who secured the entire exhibition. You're th e person a little more qualified, aren't you? Roger: I could hardly say no to the entire board of directors, could I? But I k now you'll be happy for me. After all, what's good for me is definitely good for you. Right, Ms. Halliwell? Prue: Ms. Halliwell? Since when did we stop being on a first-name basis? When w e stopped sleeping together or when I returned your engagement ring, Roger? Roger: I didn't realize the two were mutually exclusive, although I certainly e njoyed one more than the other. Prue: Bastard. Roger: Prue, wait. I feel like I should say something, if only to avoid a lawsu it. (Splutters ) ________________________________________ Chef Moore ( French accent ): Your time... is up. Let's see, uh, "roast pork wit h gratin of Florence fennel and penne with a port giblet sauce," huh? Piper: Uh, chef Moore? Chef Moore: What? Piper: Uh, the port. Chef Moore: Yes, without it, the sauce is nothing more than a salty marinara, a recipe from a woman's magazine. Pfft! I didn't have time for... ah-ah! Piper: But... but... ( gasps ) Chef Moore? ( Chuckles ) Chef Moore? Hello? Hell o? ( Soft gasp ) Chef Moore: mmm. That is very good. C'est magnifique, eh? ________________________________________ Roger: It was my idea to spark corporate interest from private donations. Besi des, not only have I been with this project since its inception, but we both kno w who really secured the entire exhibit. Prue. Prue: I quit. Roger: I'm going to have to call you back. ( Clears throat ) Think about this, Prue. Prue: Lousy job, lousy pay, lousy boss. What's to think about? Roger: Your future, because, believe me, if you walk out with no notice, you ca n kiss any references... Prue: don't threaten me, Roger. Roger: ( Chuckles ) you know me. Had to try. You're hurt, you're angry, your pr ide is wounded. I understand all that. That's why you can't see that I'm doing y ou a favor. Prue: Excuse me? Roger: I had to take the exhibit away from you. If I hadn't, the board would've come in and-and put a total stranger in my place. Think about it, Prue. I'm her e for you, not some stranger. You should be thanking me, not leaving me. Prue: Well, I'm not worried. I'm certain your intellect will make quick work of the 75 computer discs and the thousands of pages of research I left in my offic e. Roger: You're gonna regret this. Prue: Oh, I don't think so. I thought breaking up with you was the best thing I 'd ever done, but... this definitely tops that. Good-bye, Roger. Roger: I hope there are no office supplies in your purse! ( Choking, gagging ) ( gasps ) ( grunts ) What the hell was that? ________________________________________ Piper: ( Line ringing ) Phoebe, answer the phone. Answer the phone. ( Ringing c ontinues ) ( frustrated grunt ) ( gasps ) Oh, god, Jeremy, you scared me! Jeremy: I-I can see. I'm sorry. You okay? Piper: Yeah. Now I am. I really am. Um... what are you doing here? Jeremy: Well, I wanted to be the first one to congratulate you on your new job.

Piper: You're always surprising me. How did you know? Jeremy: You prepared your specialty, and anyone who's ever sampled your work ca n truly see how talented you are. Piper: I get so turned on when you talk about food. Jeremy: ( Laughs ) Hot dogs... hamburgers, pizza... ________________________________________ ( distorted shouting ) ( distorted shouts ) ( horn honks ) ( tires screeching ) Phoebe: ( yelling ) no! Wait! ( Car horn honks ) Kids: hey! Are you okay? You okay? (Cat Meows ) ________________________________________ Prue: hi. Um, I'm looking for my sister, Phoebe Halliwell. Nurse: One second, please. What's the name again? Andy: Inspector Andrew Trudeau. Homicide. Dr. Gordon's expecting me. Prue: Andy? Andy: Prue? I don't believe it. How are you? Prue: I'm good. How are you? Andy: I'm-I'm fine. I just can't believe I'm running into you. Prue: Yeah, I'm, uh, picking up Phoebe. She had some sort of an accident. Andy: Is she gonna be okay? Prue: Uh, yeah, she'll be fine. Uh, what are you doing here? Andy: Uh... murder investigation. Nurse: Your sister's still in x-ray, so it'll be another 15 minutes. Dr. Gordon' s office is to the left and down the hall. He's with a patient right now, but yo u're free to wait outside his office. Andy: Thank you. Prue: Thank you. Andy: Well... ( laughs softly ) it was good seeing you, Prue. Prue: Yeah, you, too, Andy. Take care. Woman ( over P.A. ): Wheelchair to admitting, wheelchair to admitting. Andy: You know, Phoebe's busy and dr. Gordon's busy. Can I buy you a bad cup of coffee while we wait? Prue: Sure. So, you're an Inspector now. Andy: ( Chuckles ) What can I say? In any other city, I'd be called a Detective . Prue: Hmm, "Inspector" is classier. Andy: I'm liking it better already. Prue: Your dad must be so proud. Andy: Third generation. You bet he's happy. How about you? You taking the world by storm? Prue: Well, I'm living back at Grams' house, and, as of an hour ago, I'm lookin g for work. Andy: Oh. Prue: I heard you moved to Portland. Andy: I'm back. You, uh... still seeing Roger? Prue: How did you know about him? Andy: I know people. Prue: You checked up on me? Andy: I wouldn't call it that. Prue: What would you call it? Andy: ( Sighs ) "Enquiring minds want to know"? Prue: You checked up on me. Andy: What can I say? I'm a detective. ( Over P.A. ): Miss Halliwell, please meet your sister at the nurses' station. ________________________________________ Prue: The Chosen Ones, the Charmed Ones. Phoebe, this is insane. Phoebe: Are you telling me that nothing strange happened to you today? You didn 't freeze time or move anything? Prue: Roger took an exhibit away from me. All right, look, Phoebe, I know that

you think that you can see the future, which is pretty ironic... Phoebe: Since you don't think I have one? That my vision of life is cloudy comp ared to your perfect hell? Even if you don't want to believe me, just once can't you trust me? Prue: Phoebe, I do not have special powers. Now, where is the cream? Phoebe: Really? That looks pretty special to me. Prue: Oh, my god, so, um... I can move things with my mind? Phoebe: With how much you hold inside, you should be a lethal weapon by now. Prue: I don't believe it. Phoebe: This must mean that Piper can freeze time. Are you okay? Prue: No, I'm not okay. You've turned me into a witch. Phoebe: You were born one. We all were. And I think we better start learning to deal with that. ________________________________________ Phoebe: When I was looking through the Book of Shadows, I saw these wood carvin gs. They looked like something out of a Bosch painting. All these terrifying ima ges of three women battling different incarnations of evil. Prue: Evil fighting evil-- that's a twist. Phoebe: Actually, a witch can be either good or evil. A good witch follows a Wi cca rede: "An it harm none, do what ye will." A bad witch, or a warlock, has but one goal: To kill good witches and obtain their powers. Unfortunately, they loo k like regular people. They could be anyone, anywhere. Prue: And this has what to do with us? Phoebe: Well, in the first wood carving, they were in slumber, but in the secon d one, they were battling some kind of warlock. I think as long as we were in th e dark about our powers, we were safe. Not anymore. ( Cat meows ) ________________________________________ Piper: Has anything weird or unexplainable ever happened to you? Jeremy: Sure. It's called luck or fate. Some call it miracles. Why? What happen ed? Piper: Forget it. Even if I could tell you, you'd swear I was crazy. Open your fortune cookie. Jeremy: Okay. "Soon you will be on top." Piper: It doesn't say that. Jeremy: Yes, it does. Piper: Let me see. Jeremy: Is that a bad thing? Piper: "Of the world." "Soon you will be on top of the world." Jeremy: Oh. Can you make a left on Seventh, please? Man: You got it. Piper: Seventh? I thought we were going to your place. Jeremy: We are, but you reminded me of something. I want to show you the old Bo eing Building. The view of the Bay Bridge, it's amazing. ________________________________________ Pharmacist: I'll be right back with your prescription. Phoebe: Take your time. Prue: Excuse me, where do you keep the aspirin? Pharmacist: Uh, aisle three. Prue: Thank you. Phoebe: Chamomile tea works great for headaches. Prue: Not for this one, it won't. Phoebe: You know, I'm not afraid of our powers. I mean, everyone inherits somet hing from their family, right? Prue: Yeah, money, antiques, a strong disposition-- that's what normal people i nherit. Phoebe: Who wants to be normal when we can be special? Prue: I want to be normal. I want my life to... you know, isn't this aisle thre e? Phoebe: Well, we can't change what happened. We can't undo our destiny.

Prue: Do you see any aspirin? Phoebe: I see chamomile tea. Prue: Look, I have just found out that I am a witch, that my sisters are witche s, and that we have powers that will apparently unleash all forms of evil-- evil that is apparently going to come looking for us. So excuse me, Phoebe, but I'm not exactly in a homeopathic mood right now. Phoebe: Then move your headache out of your mind. You move things when you're u pset. Prue: This is ridiculous. I thought that you landed on your arm, not your head. Phoebe: You don't believe me? Prue: Of course I don't believe you! Roger. Now let's talk about Dad and see what happens. Prue: He's dead, Phoebe. Phoebe: No, he's moved from new York, but he's very much alive. Prue: He isn't to me. He died the day he left Mom. Phoebe: What are you talking about? He's always been a major button pusher for you. You're mad he's alive, you're mad I tried to find him, and you're mad I cam e back. Dad-Dad-Dad-Dad-Dad-Dad-Dad! ( Rumbling whoosh ) ( Prue gasps ) Phoebe: feel better? Prue: Lots. Phoebe: The Book of Shadows said that our powers would grow. Prue: Grow to what? ( Both laughing ) ________________________________________ Jeremy: well... here we are. Piper: I don't care how amazing the view is, I'm not going in there. Jeremy: Come on, come on. I have a surprise inside. You are going to love this. I bet you tell Phoebe and Prue the moment you see them. Piper: I never mentioned Phoebe came home. Jeremy: Oops. Piper: What is that? Jeremy: It's your surprise. Piper: Jeremy, stop it. You're scaring me. Damn it, I'm serious! Jeremy: So am I! See, I've waited six months for this. Ever since Grams went to the hospital. You see, I've known for quite some time that the moment the old w itch croaked that all your powers, they'd be released-- powers that would reveal themselves as soon as the three of you got together again. All that was needed was for Phoebe to return. Piper: It's you, isn't you? You killed all those women. Jeremy: Not women. Witches. Piper: Why? ( Gasps ) Jeremy: it was the only way to get their powers. ( Low, demonic voice ) And now I want yours. ( Screams ) ( gasping ) ( panting ) Piper: okay, think. Stay calm. Think, think, think. You gotta get out of here. Okay, okay. ( Shuddering ) Uh... ( screams ) ( gasping ) ________________________________________ Roger (on answering machine) Prue, it's Roger. I've decided to let you come bac k to work. Seriously, let's talk. Prue: Well, Piper's definitely not home, unless she's turned into a cat. Phoebe: How'd the cat get in? ( Cat meows ) Prue: I don't know. Someone must have left a window open. Uh, did Piper leave a message? Phoebe: She's probably out with Jeremy. Roger called. Prue: Yeah, I heard. ( Door opening ) Piper: Prue! Phoebe: In here! Piper?

Prue: Oh, my god. What is it? What's wrong? Piper: Quick! Lock the doors. Check the windows. We don't have a lot of time. P hoebe, in the book of shadows, did it say how to get rid of A...? Warlock? Prue: Oh, my god. Jeremy: I'll get you, you bitch! ( Panting ) Prue: I'm calling the cops. Piper: And tell them what? That we're witches? That some freak with powers beyo nd comprehension is trying to kill us? Even if the cops did come, they'd be no m atch for Jeremy, and we'd be next. Phoebe: I found the answer. It's our only hope. Come on. Prue: Okay, we've placed the nine candles anointed with oils and spices in a cir cle. Piper: Wait. I only count eight. Phoebe: Oh, you forgot this one. Piper: A birthday candle? Phoebe: I guess Grams was low on witch supplies. Prue: All right, next we need the poppet. Piper: Got it. Prue: Okay. We're set. We're ready to cast the spell. Piper: Okay, first I'll make it stronger. Your love will wither and depart from my life and my heart. Let me be, Jeremy, and go away forever. Okay, the spell's complete. Prue: Let's hope it works. ( Gurgling ) ( gasping ) ( agonized yelling ) ( yelling continues ) ( fence ratt ling ) Phoebe: wait! It didn't work! Piper: What? Phoebe: The spell, it didn't work. Prue: How do you know? Phoebe: When I touched the pot, I had a flash. I saw Jeremy. Prue: You touched the pot, and you saw him? Phoebe: He's on his way here. Come on. ( Screams ) ( gasps ) Jeremy: Hello, ladies. Prue: Piper, Phoebe... ( whoosh ) get out of here now! Jeremy: Cool parlor trick, bitch. Yeah, you were always the tough one, weren't you, Prue? Huh? ( Whoosh ) ( grunts ) Prue: Phoebe, you're right. Our powers are growing. Piper: Let's put as many things against the door as we can. Jeremy: ( Demonic voice ): You can't keep me out, Prue. My powers are stronger t han yours. Okay. Yeah, look out! ( Sinister laughter ) You don't think a chair can stop me. You don't think a dre sser can stop me. Have you witches figured it out? Nothing! Nothing can keep me away! Piper: What do we do? We're trapped. ( Sinister laughter ) ( screams ) ( scream s ) Prue: Come on, we'll face him together! Do you remember the spirit board? Piper: The inscription on the back. Prue: The Power of Three will set us free. ...Will set us free. ( Gasping ) ( s inister laughter ) come on! We've got to say it together! Halliwells ( chanting ): The Power of Three will set us free. The Power of Three will set us free. The Power of Three will set us free. The Power of Three will set us free. ( Jeremy laughs ) Halliwells: The Power of Three will set us free. Jeremy: I am not the only one. Halliwells: The Power of Three will set us free. Jeremy: I am one of millions... Halliwells: the Power of Three will set us free.
