Charmed, Season 4

Charmed (1998-2006) is a television show about three sisters who reunite and unlock their powers to become the Charmed Ones - the most powerful good witches of all time to exist. Now they must vanquish evil and save innocents while living their lives as normal women in the real world. Life isn't so easy when you're Charmed. In Season 4, half-sister Paige Matthews took over for the dearly departed Prue (Shannen Doherty), to once again form the Charmed Ones and fight evil and save innocents. Starring Holly Marie Combs as Piper, Alyssa Milano as Phoebe and Rose McGowan as Paige.

Paige:
I'm so sorry for your lost.

Phoebe:
Thank you. How did you know Prue? From work?

Paige:
No. Just from around. You know...

Phoebe:
Have we met before?

Paige:
No, I don't... I don't think so. Anyway, my condolences.

Phoebe:
Thank you. (She shakes Paige's hand -- then gets hit with a powerful premonition: Paige is on a skyscraper rooftop helipad. She screams as she squeezes her eyes shut in fear as the demon Shax gestures and sends a concessive blast toward her to kill her. She stumbles to the floor after her premonition ends.)

Piper:
Phoebe!

Leo:
Phoebe?

(Piper, Leo, Victor, and Cole rush over to her as Paige, oblivious, but not wanting to stick around, leaves. Leo and Victor help Phoebe stand up.)

Piper:
Are you all right?

Phoebe:
I saw him! The demon that killed Prue.

Leo:
Shax? What was he doing?

Phoebe:
He was killing that girl.

Piper:
What girl?

Phoebe:
The one who I was just talking to. I gotta go find her!

(Bounty Hunters 2 suddenly materialize on either side of Cole and immediately fire lightning bolts at him. Cole dives, just barely avoiding the bolts, which blow up the altar.)

Leo:
Go! Go!

(Leo pulls her behind a pillar for safety. Victor looks on in disbelief. Cole rolls, comes up firing, vanquishing Bounty Hunter #2, but Bounty Hunter #3 appears. Before he can kill Cole, though, Phoebe runs up and knocks him to the ground with an expert martial arts move. She then hides behind a statue.)

Piper:
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Damnit! This is Prue's funeral for God's sake! Can we at least bury her in peace?! Is that too much to ask?!

(She knocks over a vase of flowers. She then storms out in tears.)

Phoebe:
I don't see her anywhere.

Leo:
Who?

Phoebe:
The girl from my preminition.

(A passing mourner, overhearing that, quietly reacts. Leo, seeing that, pulls Phoebe to the main stairs, where they can have some privacy.)

Leo:
Phoebe, you gotta be more careful.

Phoebe:
I'm sorry.

Cole:
You sure don't recognize her from anywhere?

Phoebe:
Well, she did look familiar like I've seen her somewhere before. But somehow, we got to find her before nightfall, or else…

(Phoebe slides a flower vase over an inch, then back again. Cole gently grabs her arm with a concerned look.)

Cole:
Honey, what are you doing?

Phoebe:
Uh, cleaning.

Cole:
But you don't clean. You hate cleaning.

Phoebe:
I know. But it's better than falling apart, right?

Leo:
Maybe you should just try and focus on a girl, you said she was attacked on a rooftop?

Phoebe:
Yeah, one with the helipad. But it wasn't a tall building, although, there were a lot of taller ones around it.

Leo:
Okay, so we just need to figure out which building it was before Shax does.

Piper:
And do what exatly? You can't defeat Shax, not without the Power of Three.

Phoebe:
But you and Prue did.

Piper:
That's because Prue was the strongest. Trying to do without her will be suicide.

Phoebe:
Maybe so. But I got that premonition today for a reason, Piper. That girl is our innocent. So we have to try and save her.

Piper:
Says who?! Why do we have to?

Leo:
Piper...

Piper:
What? Do you really expect us to keep doing this stuff, after what happened, to keep risking our lives?! Do they?!

Leo:
Piper, keep your voice down...

Piper:
No, Leo, I won't! I don't want to do this anymore, okay? It's over! You can tell them we buried their precious Charmed Ones when we buried our sister.

Phoebe:
Is something wrong.

Piper:
No. Everything is just right.

Paige:
Except my chair...

Piper:
Yeah... which, ummm, I'll actually pay to replace.

Paige:
Oh God no. It's not your fault. (Paige pauses) Or is it?

Piper:
Actually, yeah... it is. I was just upset that there was yet another demon in our house, in our lives. And I know I should stop fighting it and just accept it, but...

Paige:
Nah. It wasn't my favorite chair. Besides, it is kinda good to know I am not the only one who struggles with the idea of being a witch.

Phoebe:
No, trust me, you are in good company.

Leo:
Well, the good news is that you won't have to deal with the Source anytime soon, because Cole hurt him pretty bad.

Cole:
Not bad enough though, he'll be back.

Phoebe:
So. (Rubs her hands up and down Cole's chest) He's gone for now. First time in a long time. Maybe we should take advantage of that.

Cole:
(Pulls Phoebe up against him) Why Ms. Haliwell, are you trying to seduce me?

Phoebe:
Always.

Piper:
Ewwww...

(Phoebe and Cole race up the stairs laughing)

Paige:
Okay... I'm just going to go to the store and get some milk or something...

(Paige leaves)

Leo:
(to Piper) You sure you're okay?

Piper:
Yeah. I mean, I'm never going to stop wanting a normal life, but I think that's the one thing that actually keeps me sane.

Leo:
Well, you deserve a normal life Piper. We both do. And maybe we'll get that once we banish the Source once and for all.

Piper:
And who knows. Maybe one day I could have a baby shower of my own. What do you think?

Leo:
Well in that case...

(Leo picks Piper up and cradles her in his arms)

Piper:
Oh!

Leo:
Need to practice a little.

Piper:
Leo!

Piper:
How, how, how could you do that? How could you just let him go?

Phoebe:
I don't know why you're so upset, we saved the innocent, didn't we?

Piper:
I can't talk to her. You talk to her!

Leo:
Phoebe...

Phoebe:
Things are not as black and white as they used to be, ok? I can't just go around and kill demons anymore.

Paige:
Why not? We heard you just killed two last night.

Phoebe:
Yeah, well that was different, he was getting on my nerves. I promised Cole I wouldn't kill anymore. And killing Malick would have been a huge betrayal.

Piper:
Malick? You're on a first-name basis with the demons?

Leo:
If you were just gonna order him to stop, you could have done that on your own. Why did you even come to us?

Phoebe:
Because I missed you guys! Okay? Is that so wrong? I missed you!

Leo:
Phoebe, you can't be the Queen of the Underworld and a Charmed One. You can't have it both ways.

Phoebe:
Why not? Just because it's different doesn't mean that it can't work. And you all miss me too, even though I'm sure Piper probably doesn't want to admit it to herself.

Paige:
Of course, we miss you, honey.

Phoebe:
Well, you can have me back. You can have the Power of Three back. You just have to be willing to meet me halfway.

Piper:
Phoebe, you can't protect the innocent and save demons. It just doesn't work that way.

Phoebe:
Apparently, it does. He's alive, isn't he?

Paige:
Yeah, but your friend Malick is gonna come back.

Phoebe:
You don't know that.

Piper:
That's what they do, Phoebe. They come back. They snarl, and come back.

Paige:
Yeah, and now we have to worry about protecting him instead of trying to save you.

Phoebe:
You think I need saving?

Piper:
Are you kidding me? That baby inside you has corrupted you, more than you think.

Phoebe:
Piper...

Piper:
Don't Piper me. This is insane. What are you saying is insane. You can not come back. You can not work with us, as long as you're married to the Source.

Phoebe:
So what do you want me to do?! You want me to leave my husband?!

Piper:
Yes!

Phoebe:
That is not fair!

Leo:
It's not fair Phoebe, but you have to pick a side. Good or evil. That's how it works. Even though it means giving up someone you love, you have to choose.

Phoebe:
I'm really sorry you feel that way. (she disappeares in the flame) .

Piper:
I can't do this. (walks away)

Paige:
What about Greg?

(Piper unfreezes him.)

Greg:
Oh no, not again.
