Transcribed by: Janelle Hackbarth
- Note: The only characters played by the ones that also played in
“Something Wicca This Way Comes” are Prue, Piper, Roger, Jeremy, and Chef
Moore.
[Scene: A witch's apartment. She puts down a bowl of food for her cat.
(Later known as Kit.)]
Woman: Here baby. Come on, baby. Good girl. (She walks over to her altar
and lights the candles with just a touch of her finger. You see someone standing
outside her window. She starts chanting a spell. Someone walks by the cat, scaring
it away.) Ancient one of the earth so deep, master of moon and sun. I shield you in
my Wiccan way, here in my circle round, asking you to protect this space, and
offer your sun force down. (Someone walks up behind her as she begins to hum.
She turns around and stands up.) What are you doing here?
(The man pulled out a knife and plunged it in her stomach.)
[Scene: Outside Manor. A storm is bruing. Piper walks up the steps holding
an umbrella.]
[Cut to inside. Piper walks through the front door. Prue’s standing on the
ladder, working on the chandelier.]
Piper: Prue? (She puts her raincoat and umbrella up.)
Prue: In here, working on the chandelier.
Piper: Sorry I'm late.
Prue: Well, what else is new? Piper, I would of been here myself to meet
the electrician but you know I can't leave the museum until six.
- Piper: I guess I just didn't realize how long I was in China town. Has
Jeremy call? (She takes a bag to the dinning room table.)
Prue: No, but he had a package and some roses delivered. Over there on the
table. (Prue gets the ladder as Piper puts down the bag on the table and picks up
the wine bottle from the package.) What were you doing in China town? I thought
that you had an interview in a restaurant in North Beach.
Piper: I did but I went to Young Lee market after my interview to get the
ingredients for my audition recipe tomorrow.
Prue: So, that wolfgang-puck knock-off didn't hire you today? (Piper shows
her the port.)
Piper: No, but this just may get me the job tomorrow.
Prue: Jeremy sent you port?
Piper: It’s the ultimate ingredient for my recipe.
Prue: What a nice boyfriend.
Piper: Mm-mmm. (She spots the spirit board.) I don't believe it. Tell me
that's not our old spirit board? (She picks up the spirit board.)
Prue: Yeah, I found it in the basement when I was looking for the circuit
tester.
Piper: (Reading the inscription on the back) "To my three beautiful girls.
May this give you the light to find the shadows. The power of three will set you
free. Love, Mom." We never did figure out what this inscription meant. (Piper puts
the board down.)
- Prue: Well, we should send it to Phoebe. She’s so in the dark, maybe a little
light will help.
Piper: You're always so hard on her. (Piper takes the bag toward the
kitchen.)
Prue: Piper, she 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. (Prue goes to the ladder. The phone rings. Piper answers it.)
Piper: Hello? Jeremy? How are you? Where are you?
[Scene: Outside Witch’s apartment building. Jeremy’s on a cell phone. It’s
raining and there’s a lot of commotion there with ambulances and police.]
Jeremy: I’m sorry about the bad connection, Piper. I’m in North Beach
covering a story. I wanted to see if you got your package. (He pauses and listens.)
Yeah, well, anything to help. (A cop car pulls up.) Well, hey, look this detective
I’ve been waiting for has finally arrived so I’ll call you later, okay? (He hangs up
and goes over to the car. A young man, in his late 20s with light brown hair in a
brown eyes and a leather jacket comes out.) Detective Trudeau, is it the same MO
as the other victims? (He ignores Jeremy and pushes him aside. He then goes to a
cop standing by the apartment building entrance.)
Andy: What have you got for me?
Cop: Another dead female, right? Mid to late twenties.
Andy: It’s the third one in 3 weeks. Same murder weapon?
- Cop: Double edged steel knife.
Andy: Some sort of ceremonial tool that isn’t supposed to be used for
cutting purposes.
[Scene: Manor. Piper is in the living room looking out the window. Prue is
on the living room, on the ladder, checking out the chandelier.]
Prue: I don't get it. I have tried everything, there's no reason why the
chandelier shouldn’t be working. (Piper walks up to her as Prue gets off the
ladder.)
Piper: Uh, you know how we've been talking about what to do with the
spare room? I think you're right, we do need a roommate.
Prue: Well, we can rent the room at a reduce rate in exchange for some help
around the house. (Prue picks up the toolbox.)
Piper: Phoebe's good with a wrench.
Prue: Phoebe lives in New York. (Prue heads toward the kitchen.)
Piper: Not anymore. (Prue stops and turns around.)
Prue: What?
Piper: She left New York. She's moving back in with us.
Prue: You’ve got to be kidding. (Prue goes into the kitchen. Piper follows.)
Piper: Well, I could hardly say no. I mean, it's her house too. It was willed
to all of us. (Prue puts the toolbox down and begins cleaning her hands.)
- Prue: Yeah, months ago and we haven't seen or spoken to her since. (Prue
stops cleaning her hands and begins rubbing the with a rag.)
Piper: Well, you haven't spoken to her. (Prue turns around with the rag in
hand still.)
Prue: No, Switzerland, I haven't. Maybe you've forgotten why I'm still mad
at her.
Piper: 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 few days, maybe a week-or two.
Prue: Great. (Prue tosses the rag aside.) Thanks for sharing. When does she
arrive? (Phoebe appears behind them in the foyer.)
Phoebe: Now. Surprise! I found the hide-a-key.
Piper: Phoebe, welcome home. (Piper goes and hugs her.) It's so good to
see you. Isn't it Prue?
Prue: I'm speechless. (A car horn beeps.)
Phoebe: Oh, oh. I forgot about the cab.
Piper: I'll get it. (She grabs Prue's purse.)
Prue: Hey, that’s my purse. (Piper leaves.)
Phoebe: Thanks. I'll pay you back.
- Prue: It’s okay. Save your pennies. (Pause) Is that all that you brought?
Phoebe: That's all that I own. That and my bike. (Pause) Look, I know that
you don't want me here…
Prue: We're not selling Grams' house.
Phoebe: Is that why you think I came back?
Prue: The only reason Piper and I gave up our apartment to moved back
here 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
what's really bothering you?
Prue: No, I'm still furious with you. (Phoebe sighs.)
Phoebe: I never touched Roger.
Prue: Whoa.
Phoebe: And I know you think otherwise because that's what the Armani-
wearing, Chardonnay-slugging, trust-funder told you… (Piper comes back in the
house.)
Piper: Hey, I got a great idea. Why don't I make a fabulous reunion dinner?
Prue: I'm not hungry. (She walks off.)
Phoebe: I ate on the bus. (She walks off.)
Piper: We'll try the group hug later.
- [Time lapse. Piper and Phoebe are sitting at the table playing with the spirit
board. There is a glass of wine by each of the sisters.]
Piper: You shouldn’t have called Roger those names. That was cruel.
Phoebe: So was Roger. And the more Prue hears that, the sooner she’ll get
over that jerk. (Piper takes a sip of wine.) I’m glad to hear that you and Jeremy are
still together. Where did you meet him anyway.
Piper: We met in the hospital cafeteria the day Grams was admitted. He
was covering a story and I was bawling over a bagel. He gave me a napkin.
Phoebe: How romantic.
Piper: As a matter of fact it was. The napkin had his phone number on it.
(Phoebe laughs.) Now st-stop pushing the pointer.
Phoebe: I'm not even touching it.
Piper: You used to always push the pointer. (She picks up the glasses and
goes into the kitchen.) Take my turn, will ya?
Phoebe: I forgot your question.
Piper: I asked if Prue would have sex with someone other than herself this
year. (She puts the wine glasses down.)
Phoebe: Oh, that’s disgusting. Please say yes. (The pointer moved to the
letter 'A' by itself.) Piper. (It then moves to 'T'.) Piper, get in here! (Piper does.)
Piper: What? (Prue comes in.)
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. (Prue and
Piper stare at her.) I am serious. It spelt ‘A’ ‘T’.
Piper: Well, did you push it?
Phoebe: No.
Prue: You used to always push the pointer.
Phoebe: I was barely even touching it. Look. (She puts her fingers on the
pointer. Nothing happens. Prue and Piper turn and start to leave. The pointer
moves to the top of the board, then back to the letter ‘T’.) There, it did it again! It
moved! (Prue and Piper turn back around and look at the board.)
Prue: It's still on the letter 'T'.
Phoebe: I swear it moved. (Prue leaves the room. The pointer moves again.
Piper sees it too.) There. Look. Did you see that? (The pointer moves again.)
Piper: Prue, can you come in here a sec? (Prue comes back in the room.
Phoebe writes the letters down on an envelope.)
Phoebe: I think it's trying to tell us something. A-t-t…
Prue: Now what? (Phoebe turns the envelope around.)
Phoebe: Attic. (There's a loud clap of thunder and the power goes out.)
[Cut to the foyer. Piper is walking towards the door. Prue is following her
with the flashlight in hand.]
- Piper: I don’t care what you think. I’m leaving. (Piper grabs her coat.)
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. (Piper puts her coat on.)
Prue: It is pouring rain. There's a psycho on the lose. Jeremy's not even
home.
Piper: So I'll wait in the cab until he gets back from work. (Piper crosses the
foyer and picks up the phone.)
Prue: Oh, that’ll be cheap.
Piper: Prue, I saw that pointer move.
Prue: No, what you saw was Phoebe's fingers pushing the pointer. She’s
playing a joke on us. There's nothing in the attic.
Piper: We don't know that. We've lived here for months and we've never
been able to get that attic door open. (Piper tries the phone.) Great, now the phone
doesn’t work.
Prue: Of course it doesn’t work. The power's out. Just come with me to the
basement.
Piper: What?
Prue: I need you to hold the flashlight while I check out the main circuit
box. (Phoebe comes up behind them and goes up the stairs and stops at the first or
second step.)
- Piper: Phoebe will go with you. Phoebe, you’ll go with her to the basement,
won’t you?
Phoebe: Nope, I'm going to the attic. (Phoebe goes up the stairs some
more.)
Prue: No, you are not. We already agreed. (Phoebe stops.)
Phoebe: I am not going to waiting for some handyman to check out the attic
and I'm certainly not waiting until tomorrow. I'm going now. (Phoebe goes up the
stairs. Prue leaves.)
Piper: Prue, wait. (She follows Prue.)
[Cut to Phoebe. She goes up to the attic door and tries to open the attic door
but it's locked. She gives up and turns to walk back down the stairs. She hears a
creak and turns to see the attic door opening. She walks inside. A light shines on a
trunk and she walks over to it. She kneels down and opens it and there's a book
inside. She picks up the book and blows the dust off. She opens it.]
Phoebe: "The Book of Shadows." (She turns the page and starts reading.)
"Hear now the words of the witches, the secrets we hid in the night, the oldest of
spells are invoked here, the great gift of magic is sought.”
[Cut to foyer. Prue and Piper are standing there, looking up the stairs.]
Prue: Phoebe! She should be back by now.
Piper: You go first. (Prue goes up the stairs with flashlight in hand. Piper
follows her.)
[Cut to Phoebe.]
- Phoebe: “In this night and in this hour, I'll call upon the ancient power,
bring your powers to we sisters three, we want the power, give us the power."
[Cut to living room. A bright light flashes from the ceiling.]
[Cut to hall. A picture of the girls is on a table. Prue is in the middle, Piper
is on the left, and Phoebe is on the right a little far apart. Piper and Phoebe
magically go closer to Prue.]
[Cut to Phoebe. Prue and Piper walk up behind her.]
Prue: What are you doing?
Phoebe: Uh…reading an incantation. It was in this Book of Shadows, I
found it in that trunk.
Prue: Let me see that. (Prue kneels down beside her. Phoebe stands up.)
Piper: How did you get in here? (Prue looks through the Book.)
Phoebe: The door opened.
Piper: Wait a minute, incantation? What kind of incantation?
Phoebe: Well, it said something about there being three essentials of magic.
Feeling, timing, and phases of the moon. If we were ever gonna do this, now -
midnight on a full moon - was the most powerful time.
Piper: This? Do what this?
Phoebe: Receive our powers.
Piper: Our powers? Wait, our powers? You included me in this?
- Prue: She included all of us. (Reading from the book.) "Bring your powers
to we sisters three." (She closes the book.) It's a book of witchcraft.
Piper: Let me see that. (Prue stands up and hands Piper the book.)
[Scene: The murdered witch's apartment. Andy and the cop are there along
with people. Andy looks at the tattoo on her neck. It's a full circle with three
interlocking arcs inside.]
Cop: What is it?
Andy: I don’t know. It's the same tattoo that we found on the other three
victims.
Cop: So, the murderer is killing women who belong to occult.
Andy: No, these women didn’t belong to occult. They, they practiced their
craft alone. These women are witches.
Cop: The murderer is killing witches?
Andy: He’s just not killing them. He’s hunting them. (Kit comes to Andy’s
feet. She meows. Andy goes over and pats her. Andy looks at Kit's collar. It has
the same symbol on it that was tattooed on the witch.)
[Cut back to Manor. Prue, Piper, and Phoebe are walking down the stairs.
Piper has the flashlight.]
Prue: Spirit boards, books of witchcraft. It figures all this freaky stuff
started 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: My head spun around and I vomited split-pea soup. How should I
know?
Piper: Well, everything looks the same.
Phoebe: Yeah, you're right.
Prue: Yet the house still needs work. (Prue and Phoebe leave Piper alone
with a flashlight.)
Piper: And everything feels the same, so nothing's changed. (She looks over
to where her sisters were.) Right?
[Cut to outside. The man that was standing there slowly walks off.]
[Scene: Manor. The next morning. Piper is trimming some bushes on the
side of the Manor. Phoebe comes up to her with a mug of coffee.]
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 owned was kept in a closet beside a mop.
(Piper stops trimming the bushes.)
- Piper: So what were you doing?
Phoebe: Reading. I-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 who's invisible. (Piper walks toward into the house through the front door
with Phoebe following her.)
Phoebe: I am serious. She practiced powers. Three powers. She could move
objects with her mind, see the future and stop time. But before Melinda burned at
the stake, she vowed that each generation of Warren witches would grow stronger
and stronger, culminating in the arrival of three sisters. (Piper puts on her purse
and grabs her coat.) These sisters would be the most powerful witches the world
has ever known. I think that we are those sisters.
Piper: Look, I know what happened last night was weird and unexplainable,
but we are not witches and we do not have special powers besides, Grams wasn't a
witch and as far as we know, neither was Mom. (She kisses Phoebe.) So take that
Nancy Drew. (Piper walks out the door. Phoebe goes to the porch.)
Phoebe: We are the protectors of the innocent. We're known as the
Charmed Ones.
Piper: Mm-hmm.
Phoebe: And I beg to differ about Grams. (Phoebe goes in and closes the
door.)
- [Scene: The Museum of Natural History. Prue and Roger are in the storage
room.]
Roger: There's been change of plan.
Prue: Change of plan regarding the Beals expedition?
Roger: The extra money that you help raise through private donations has
sparked 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
handle 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. (Prue
pauses for a moment.) You're the person a little more qualified aren't you?
Roger: I could hardly say no to the entire board of directors, could I? But I
know you'll be happy for me, after all, what's good for me is definitely good for
you. Right, Miss Halliwell?
Prue: Miss Halliwell? Since when did we stop being on a first name basis?
When we stopped sleeping together or when I returned your engagement ring,
Roger?
Roger: I didn't realize the two were mutually exclusive. Although I
certainly enjoyed one better than the other.
Prue: Bastard! (She turns to leave.)
- Roger: Prue, wait. (She stops.) I feel like I should say something if only to
avoid a lawsuit. (She leaves. Roger's pen in his pocket leaks and gets a blue ink
spot on his shirt. He takes the pen out of his pocket and it squirts in his face.)
[Scene: Quake. Piper is in the kitchen making her audition meal. Just as
she's pouring the port wine in a measuring cup, Chef Moore enters the kitchen.]
Chef Moore: (In his French accent clapping his hands) Your time is up.
Let's see. Uh. (Reading the index card.) Roast pork with gratin of fennel and penne
with a port giblet sauce.
Piper: Uh, Chef Moore…
Chef Moore: What?
Piper: Uh, the port…
Chef Moore: Yes, without the sauce it is nothing more than a salty marinara.
A recipe from a woman's magazine. Puh!
Piper: I didn't have time for…
Chef Moore: Ah-ah-ah!
Piper: But, but… (He puts some on a fork and raises it to his mouth. Piper
waves her hands around and he stops. He stands there like a statue.) Chef Moore?
Chef Moore? (She waves her hand in front of his face.) Hello? Hello? (She picks
up a baster and fills it up with some port. She dribbles some on Chef Moore's
forkful of food. He unfreezes and puts it in his mouth.)
Chef Moore: Mmm…this is very good. C'est magnifique.
[Scene: On the sidewalk. Piper's in a phone booth.]
- Piper: Come on, Phoebe. You’ve got to be there. Phoebe, answer the phone.
Answer the phone. (She hangs up and walks out of the booth. Jeremy walks up to
her.) 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 to congratulate you on your new job.
Piper: You always surprise me. How did you know?
Jeremy: We prepared your specialty, and everyone's who's ever sampled
your work, can truly see how talented you are.
Piper: I get so turned on when you talk about food.
Jeremy: Hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza. (They kiss.)
[Scene: On the road. Phoebe is riding her bike. All of a sudden she has a
premonition. In it she sees two boys on skateboards and they skate right in front of
a car which hits them. Phoebe looks around. The premonition finishes. Phoebe
continues riding and then sees the car and the two boys.]
Phoebe: No! Wait! Stop! Watch out! (She rides in front of the boys
stopping them from skating in front of the car. She falls over a parked car on the
hill. The car honks and Phoebe falls off her bike and holds her right arm. Kit is
nearby. Some guy and the boys go to her.)
[Scene: Hospital. Prue walks up to the desk. Andy is standing there with his
back turned.]
Prue: Hi, um, I'm looking for my sister, Phoebe Halliwell.
- Nurse: Uh, one second please. (To Andy) What was the name again?
Andy: (to nurse) Uh, Detective Andrew Trudeau. Homicide. Dr. Gordon's
expecting me. (The nurse leaves.)
Prue: Detective Andy Trudeau? (He turns around.)
Andy: Prue? I haven’t seen you since…
Prue: High sc…
Andy: We broke up.
Prue: Yeah, talk about full circle. I’m even living back at my Grams house
now. So, what are you doing here?
Andy: Uh, I’m investigating a murder. Uh, the victim was a nurse here.
Prue: I think I read about that in the paper. It was pretty creepy.
Andy: Yeah. So, what are you doing here?
Prue: Oh, just picking up Phoebe. She has some sore of accident. (The
nurse comes back.)
Nurse: (to Prue) Your sister is to the right and down the hall. (To Andy)
Doctor Gordon is to the left and down the hall.
Prue: Thank you.
Andy: Thank you. (The nurse leaves.) It’s great seeing you, Prue.
Prue: Yeah, you too.
- Andy: Bye.
Prue: Bye. (Andy leaves. Prue turns around and Phoebe walks up, with a
bandage wrapped around her right arm.) Hey.
Phoebe: We need to talk, and not about Roger.
Prue: Okay.
[Scene: Quake. Prue and Phoebe are sitting at the bar.]
Prue: The Chosen Ones? The Charmed Ones? Phoebe, this is insane. (A
bartender sets their drinks in front of them.)
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. Look, Phoebe, you may think
that you think you can see the future, which is pretty ironic.
Phoebe: Since you don't think I have one, that-that my vision of life is-is
cloudy compared to your perfect hell? Even if you don't want to believe me, just
once can't you trust me?
Prue: I do not have special powers. (The cream moves by itself.)
Phoebe: Really? (The cream fills her cup of coffee by itself.) Looks pretty
special to me.
Prue: Oh my god. It just-I…I can move things with my mind?
Phoebe: With how much you hold inside, you should be a lethal weapon by
now.
