The Charmed Ones discover that 300 year old cursed pirates are in the city looking specifically for them. Paige attempts to rescue the innocent witch and is cut herself by the cursed dagger which ages her decades in hours. In order to help Paige, Phoebe and Piper must help the Pirates steal a Golden chalice to activate the mythical Fountain of Youth. Meanwhile, Inspector Sheridan gets some unexpected assistance from FBI Agent Brody, his purpose and intent are as of yet ambiguous. Right when he has Piper and Phoebe cornered, he helps them get away from Inspector Sheridan. ========================== CHARMED 7X04: CHARRRMED! ========================== FADE IN: [TRIQUETRA] [Scene from 7X01: A Call to Arms] [INT. MANOR - PIPER'S BEDROOM -- NIGHT] (Inspector Sheridan steps into the bedroom, her gun raised and pointed at Phoebe and Paige startling both of them.) INSPECTOR SHERIDAN: Police! Freeze! (Leo swings his arms in an arc and throws Inspector Sheridan up against the wall. She hits it hard breaking the light fixture. She falls to the floor.) (Darryl walks over to check on her.) DARRYL MORRIS: (to Leo) What the hell's wrong with you?! HOLLY MARIE COMBS (NARRATOR): Previously on Charmed ... [INT. MANOR - PIPER'S BEDROOM -- NIGHT] (The Paramedic checks Inspector Sheridan. Darryl and Phoebe watch from the side.) PARAMEDIC: Do you remember what happened to you? INSPECTOR SHERIDAN: (confused) No. [TRIQUETRA FLASH TO] [INT. MANOR - KITCHEN -- MORNING] (Paige talks with Piper as she pours herself a cup of coffee.) PAIGE: It's the whole Magic School thing. I don't know why the Elders are just shutting it down. PIPER: Well, who's gonna stop them? PAIGE: (surprises herself) I am. [Scene from 7X03: Cheaper by the Coven] [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - PAIGE'S OFFICE -- DAY] (Paige sits behind her desk staring at her in-tray which is magically filling up with a stack of Student Progress Reports.) PAIGE: (v.o.) When I took this job, I had no idea just how much work it would be. [Scene from 7X03: Cheaper by the Coven] [INT. THE BAY MIRROR - PHOEBE'S OFFICE -- DAY] (Leslie St. Claire and Phoebe sit on the couch in her office.) LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: Just admit it -- you like me. PHOEBE: How can you be so sure of that? (Cut to: Leslie St. Claire gets to his feet. He looks through the glass window into the bullpen at Phoebe as she leaves the office.) LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: (to himself) If she turns around, it means she likes me. (Phoebe is on her way out. Near the door, she pauses and turns around to look back at Leslie in the office.) (Leslie smiles at her.) [Scene from 7X01: A Call to Arms] [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - GREAT HALL -- NIGHT] (Leo is huddled on the floor. He confesses to Piper.) LEO: I killed another Elder. (Cut to: Piper holds Leo.) PIPER: Nobody else has to know. [Scene from 7X03: Cheaper by the Coven] [INT. UNDERWORLD - CAVERN] (Leo holds Wyatt.) LEO: Still, I don't know what to do. I don't know how to find my way. PIPER: Yes, you do. You just have to try. FADE OUT. END OF PREVIOUSLY ON FADE IN. [EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR (STOCK) - NIGHT] [INT. MANOR - ATTIC - NIGHT] (Leo stands in the middle of the attic and looks around. Piper walks into the attic.) PIPER: All set. The kids are asleep. LEO: What about Phoebe and Paige? PIPER: You want me to put them to bed, too? (Leo doesn't smile at the joke.) Paige is at school, and Phoebe went to the movies. LEO: Really? On a date? PIPER: No. With a friend. LEO: Oh. That's good. At least she's taking advantage of not having to be at work in the morning. That's good. PIPER: You're stalling. Look, don't make it a bigger deal than it is. You're just one Elder calling another to see if you can help. LEO: But what if they found out? PIPER: They haven't. We already talked about this. Look, you're not gonna be able to move on if you don't let go of the past. That's the reason you're doing this, remember? (But something's bothering Leo.) What? LEO: You'll think I'm crazy. PIPER: I already think you're crazy. (He looks at her.) What is it? LEO: It's just ... I've been seeing things lately. Hearing voices that make me feel like I can't come back, and I-I don't know if they're real or not, but they seem like they are. PIPER: Well, that's probably just self-doubt. Ignore it. LEO: Or a guilty conscience. PIPER: But you have nothing to feel guilty about. What happened was out of your control. All that matters is what happens next, so go play nice with the other Elders. (Piper backs away. She turns and leaves Leo standing in the center of the attic.) [INT. MANOR - BASE OF ATTIC STAIRS - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS] (Piper walks down the stairs. She pauses at the bottom.) PIPER: (to herself) Please let him get through this. CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - ATTIC - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS] (Back in the attic, Leo calls upon an Elder. An Elder orbs in.) ELDER: Hello, Leo. LEO: Hey. Thanks for coming. ELDER: How have you been? LEO: Good. Great. Actually, that's sort of what I wanted to talk to you about. ELDER: We can't let you back up there, if that's what you want. LEO: No, no. I understand. So ... any word on who killed Zola yet? ELDER: No. But we'll find who did it. We have to. (The Elder looks around the attic.) So what can I help you with? LEO: Well, actually, I was hoping to help you. I mean, you know, as an Elder. ELDER: Well, I don't quite follow. LEO: Well, I want to do what I used to do before Gideon. I'm just trying to find my way again. ELDER: A couple of Whitelighters have lost track of their charges recently. Two in the last three nights. It may be nothing. LEO: Charges. You mean, Whitelighters-to-be? Or witches? ELDER: Witches. Just practitioners. Not powerful, but still -- LEO: I'll get the sisters right on it. ELDER: Good. Keep me posted. (The Elder orbs out of the attic. As soon as he's gone, the voices start.) CREATURE HEAD DEMON: He lies, Leo. He lies. (The Creature Head Demon appears in the room and swirls around Leo.) CREATURE HEAD DEMON: You can't trust him. You can't trust yourself. (The Creature Head Demon disappears leaving Leo sufficiently spooked.) CUT TO: [EXT. BUILDING LIGHTS (STOCK) - NIGHT] [EXT. BOOK SHOP - BACK ALLEYWAY -- NIGHT] (The back door opens. Brenda Castillo steps outside and locks the door behind her. She turns and starts walking through the alley.) CUE SOUND: WHISTLING (Brenda turns around and sees the San Francisco fog start to roll into the alley.) (She looks around and finds the fog rolling in on both sides of her. Brenda wraps her coat around her tightly, puts her chin up and continues on home.) (She hears more whistling ... and footsteps approaching. She stops and looks behind her.) BRENDA CASTILLO: Hello? (The footsteps continue to get louder as if moving toward her.) (Spooked, Brenda rushes home.) (Brenda continues to hurry through the alleyway. The whistling continues. She hears glass smashing. She stops and turns around. The fog has completely engulfed the alleyway and continues to get thicker.) (Brenda runs for it.) CUT TO: [INT. BRENDA CASTILLO'S APARTMENT - NIGHT-- CONTINUOUS] (The front door opens. Brenda steps into her apartment, shuts the door and locks it. She leans back against the door and exhales with relief.) (She hears chains.) (She looks over and sees the fog coming in through the open window.) (Brenda hears footsteps.) (She drops her bag, takes her coat off and heads for the window to close it.) (She reaches out a hand to the window. Someone grabs her arm and pulls her back. First Mate Reznor has his arm firmly around her neck. Brenda struggles against him.) FIRST MATE REZNOR: Anybody tell you not to walk alone at night, Witch? (First Mate Reznor slings Brenda over his shoulder.) BRENDA CASTILLO: Help! (He turns and steps out of the window and into the fog.) BRENDA CASTILLO: (screams) He-e-elp! (Brenda and the Pirate both disappear into the thick fog.) [GOLD DOUBLOON] (As the pirate jumps out, a gold doubloon piece falls onto the floor. In the center of the piece is image of a skull with a dagger through it.) FADE TO END OF TEASER ROLL TITLE CREDITS (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [EXT. VARIOUS SAN FRANCISCO SCENES (STOCK) - MORNING] [EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR - MORNING] [INT. MANOR - KITCHEN -- MORNING] (Piper turns the baby monitor on and sets it down on the counter. The kettle starts to whistle.) (Leo is sitting at the kitchen table with various items spread out on it -- a map, scrying materials and the open Book of Shadows on top. He sighs in frustration.) LEO: Ahh, this should be so easy. You know, I don't understand why I can't find them. (Piper pours the hot water into a cup as she listens to him.) I tried sensing them, I tried summoning them, I tried scrying for them. I've got to be overlooking something. PIPER: Or maybe there's nothing to overlook. I mean, let's face it, like the Elder said, this could be nothing. LEO: They're still missing, aren't they? PIPER: Still. Maybe you're trying too hard. LEO: Piper, he wants me to do this. He wouldn't have given this to me unless it was something. (Piper walks up to him.) PIPER: Okay. So what do we know so far? What are the common denominators? (Piper sits down at the table.) LEO: Besides the fact that they're witches, uh, the fog rolled in just before they disappeared. PIPER: Well, of course the fog rolled in. It's San Francisco. (Leo watches her and smiles. Piper sees the small smile.) PIPER: What? LEO: Nothing. It's just I miss this. PIPER: Sleepless nights and endless exposition? Not me. (Paige orbs into the kitchen.) PAIGE: (bursts out, exasperated) Do I look like a ma'am to you? (Piper chuckles.) PIPER: Morning, Sunshine. PAIGE: I was just at Magic School taking Wyatt to the nursery-- he's fine, I might add -- and a student bumped into me and said, "Excuse me" -- PIPER: A kid with manners? Alert the authorities. PAIGE: You didn't let me finish. He said, "Excuse me, Ma'am." Do I look like a "Ma'am"? LEO: He was being respectful. PAIGE: (groans) Something happened to me since I took over Magic School. (Paige puts her head in her hands.) PIPER: Paige, you're obsessing. PAIGE: You're damn right I'm obsessing. I am far too young to be old. PIPER: Okay, obsess about this instead: Young women disappearing around the city when the fog rolls in. PAIGE: That's what you've got? LEO: That's all the Elders know. We haven't been able to find out much else. PAIGE: (perks up) You spoke to the Elders? LEO: Yes, and I promised we'd help. PAIGE: Good for you. You know, this actually sounds like a job for the young, kick-ass Charmed Ones. (Paige flips her hair as she turns around and heads out of the kitchen.) PIPER: (to Paige) Where you going? (to Leo) Come with me. (Piper motions for Leo to follow them.) CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - MAIN HALL / FOYER - MORNING - CONTINUOUS] (Paige heads through the dining room and toward the stairs.) PAIGE: I'm gonna go scry for them. PIPER: We already tried that. It didn't work. (Paige stops at the base of the stairs.) LEO: Too much time has passed since the last one disappeared. PAIGE: Okay. Why don't we try to find out if anyone has disappeared more recently? LEO: I'm sure the Elders would've told me. PIPER: Not if they don't know about it yet. PAIGE: (thinking) Hmm. Well, what about Morris? I'm sure he can ask Missing Persons. PIPER: Yeah. Go ahead. You can go ask him. (Piper points to the front door.) He's outside. (Paige turns and stares at the door. She looks back at Piper, then heads for the front door.) (Paige opens the front door and slips out onto the porch.) [EXT. MANOR - FRONT STREET - MORNING -- CONTINUOUS] (Paige steps out onto the front porch and sees the red car parked on the opposite side of the street. Sure enough, Inspector Sheridan and Morris are inside the car.) (Paige turns and heads back into the house.) [INT. MANOR - FOYER - MORNING -- CONTINUOUS] (Piper and Leo wait for Paige to return. The front door closes. Paige makes her way back to them.) PAIGE: They're watching us? PIPER: Staking us out. PAIGE: Uh, is that legal? PIPER: Apparently, Sheridan wants us real bad. LEO: Which means you can't very well go running around the city looking for missing witches. PAIGE: Unless there's a distraction. Phoebe still at home? CUT TO: [EXT. MANOR - FRONT STREET -- MORNING] [INT. SHERIDAN'S CAR (PARKED) - MORNING] (Sheridan is on the phone.) SHERIDAN: (to phone) Well, I don't understand. I sent the blood sample back east three weeks ago. What do you mean you can't find it? DARRYL: You know they can see us, right? SHERIDAN: (to Darryl) I want them to see us. (to phone) Sheridan. Inspector Sheridan. S.F.P.D. The Halliwell Case. No, it's not a murder investigation. I don't know what it is. That's why I need the damn blood results! (She hangs up and sighs.) SHERIDAN: I hate Feds! DARRYL: So, uh, where'd you get the blood sample from? SHERIDAN: From Piper's bedroom when I was curiously knocked out. DARRYL: What do you think the blood's gonna show you? SHERIDAN: What's really going on around here. (Darryl looks beyond Sheridan. We hear footsteps approaching. Darryl smiles in recognition.) DARRYL: You might want to put on a happy face. (Sheridan turns around and sees Piper with a breakfast tray.) PIPER: (cheerfully) Good morning, Inspector. You must be hungry. Breakfast? Most important meal of the day. (Piper puts the tray in the open door. Sheridan holds the tray to keep it from falling.) SHERIDAN: Look, if you think that this is going to-- PIPER: Yeah. Okay. (Piper waves her hands and freezes the Inspector mid-sentence.) PIPER: Wow. That's better. DARRYL: Are you out of your mind? Will you unfreeze her right now? PIPER: Sorry. Can't. We need to talk. DARRYL: Listen, I've got nothing to say. I've already made that clear. PIPER: (shrugs) Yeah, so I've heard. (Piper glances behind her. She sees Phoebe sneaking out of the house.) About the string of missing women that you're not telling the press about ... DARRYL: How'd you find out about that? PIPER: Because they're witches and we need to find them. So have any been reported missing in the last twenty-four hours? DARRYL: Piper, listen, you know I can't help you. PIPER: Look, Darryl, if you want to help Sheridan hang us out to dry, that's your business. But this is not about that. This is about people who are in trouble. So are you gonna help us or not? (Darryl takes out his notebook and tells Piper what he knows.) DARRYL: Listen, there was one on the missing report this morning. Brenda Castillo, 22. She lives in The Heights. Roommate said she never came home last night, but until she's missing 24 ... PIPER: We'll find her in twelve. Thanks. DARRYL: You're welcome. Now will you hurry up and unfreeze her? (Off screen, we hear Phoebe's car start, the engine revving.) (Piper waves her hand and Inspector Sheridan unfreezes.) SHERIDAN: ... Get me off your tail -- PIPER: Now, Inspector, why would I want to do that? (The Inspector looks and sees Phoebe driving right by them. Phoebe tries to cover her face with her hand, but oh, it's so obvious that it's her. Darryl waves back to her with one hand while the other hand covers his smile.) SHERIDAN: Nice try. (Sheridan pushes the breakfast tray out the car window. Piper steps back as it tumbles and smashes into the road.) PIPER: Whoa! (Sheridan starts the car and drives off after Phoebe.) PIPER: (calls out) It's all right! I'll clean this up! (Piper waves to the car. She reaches for her cell phone and dials.) PIPER: (to phone) Okay, Paige, you're on. Brenda Castillo, The Heights. (Leaving the mess, Piper turns and heads back to the house.) CUT TO: [INT. TREASURE ISLAND CAVE -- MORNING] (Brenda Castillo is on the floor, her hands chained in front of her. She slowly comes to.) (She lifts her head and looks around. She jumps when she sees the skeleton hanging on the wall. She looks around the cave. At the far end of the cave, there is a white statue and fountain.) (Brenda looks at the chains around her wrists.) (First Mate Reznor kneels down in front of her to get her attention to issue his warning.) FIRST MATE REZNOR: Don't bother screaming, love. No can hear you. BRENDA CASTILLO: What? What do you want from me? FIRST MATE REZNOR: We don't want nothing. However, my Captain would like a word with you. (Reznor pulls Brenda up to her feet.) (She turns and gasps when she sees the Captain turn the corner along with some other pirates. By far, he looks the oldest of the bunch.) BRENDA CASTILLO: Oh, my -- CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: (scoffs) God? Afraid not. You'll have to settle for Captain Black Jack Cutting. PARROT: Aye-yae, Captain. CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: Don't you just love clichés? Well, don't just stand there, you fool, bring her closer. (Reznor pulls Brenda closer to the Captain. The Captain sniffs the air.) CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: Ah, the stench of witch. I'd know that anywhere. BRENDA CASTILLO: What do you want? CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: I want you to die, but not too fast. (He takes out a dagger.) CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: One of your kind cursed me with this a very long time ago. Of course, then I used it to cut her heart out. (Reznor holds Brenda as the Captain cuts Brenda's upper arm. It starts to bleed.) BRENDA CASTILLO: Ohh! CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: Take her away. FIRST MATE REZNOR: But what about The Charmed Ones? CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: All good things to those who wait. Do as I say, or I'll have you in irons! (Reznor glares at the Captain, clearly not liking the decision. He takes Brenda away.) CUT TO: [EXT. THE BAY MIRROR (STOCK) - DAY] [INT. THE BAY MIRROR - PHOEBE'S OFFICE -- DAY] (Phoebe walks up to the office door and knocks on the frame. Leslie is sitting behind the desk reading through the Bay Mirror.) PHOEBE: Knock, knock. (He looks up.) LES ST. CLAIRE: Phoebe. (She waves at him.) Hey, uh, what are you doing here? (Les gets to his feet, putting The Bay Mirror issue on the desk and sitting on it to hide something from Phoebe.) PHOEBE: I'm just ... returning your phone call. LES ST. CLAIRE: Wow. Returning my call. Um, most people return phone calls with, uh ... I don't know, phone calls. PHOEBE: Yeah. Well, I kinda needed to get out of the house. We're experiencing a bit of a pest problem. LES ST. CLAIRE: Ooh. Is it serious? PHOEBE: Too soon to tell. So what did you call about? LES ST. CLAIRE: Well, it was ... a little timely ... I had to make a decision, but you did give me free reign, didn't you? PHOEBE: Yes. Absolutely. I mean, how else would I be enjoying my sabbatical, right? LES ST. CLAIRE: (nods) Exactly. (Phoebe waits for him to elaborate, but he doesn't.) PHOEBE: So that's it, huh? Nothing else you needed to talk to me about? LES ST. CLAIRE: Um, nope. I can't think of anything. PHOEBE: Ask me - nothing? LES ST. CLAIRE: Nah. PHOEBE: Okay. (Phoebe turns and heads for the door. Leslie stops her.) LES ST. CLAIRE: Uh, wait. There was one thing, actually. I was, um ... I was looking through some of your notes and ideas last week, and I found something about a contest. PHOEBE: Oh, the "Win a Date with Phoebe" contest. Yeah, that was Elise's idea. LES ST. CLAIRE: Yeah. I think it's a great idea. I mean, readers love to be talked to and not down to. I think going on a date gives you a chance to make them feel like you're really a part of their lives. PHOEBE: Really? LES ST. CLAIRE: You know, it's a great P.R. move. PHOEBE: Still - LES ST. CLAIRE: I really--I would love to leave you with more readers than you had when I came. PHOEBE: That's really sweet, Leslie, uh, but I think I'm taking a break from the dating world, as well. Besides, you never know who's gonna win a contest like that. LES ST. CLAIRE: Well ... I would win it. I mean, just to protect you, of course. PHOEBE: Are you asking me out on a date? LES ST. CLAIRE: Strictly professional. Look, how about this? We go tonight. We get it over with. PHOEBE: Get it over with? LES ST. CLAIRE: Oh, yeah. So we don't infringe on your life away from here any more than we already have. PHOEBE: Okay. Well, call me stupid, but shouldn't you actually run the contest in the paper before you decide who wins it? LES ST. CLAIRE: Oh, details. I'll just -- I'll hold the copy on the date and print it afterwards. So what do you say? Maxine's? 8:00? PHOEBE: Hmm. All right. Eight o'clock. (Phoebe turns and leaves. Leslie picks up The Bay Mirror paper from the desk. The column reads: Lucky Leslie Wins Date with "Ask Phoebe".) (He smiles and glances up at the door.) CUT TO: [INT. BRENDA'S APARTMENT #6 - HALLWAY OUTSIDE DOOR -- DAY] (Paige stands in the hallway and knocks on the door to apartment #6. The door opens.) CARLY: Can I help you? PAIGE: Hi. I'm Paige Matthews. I'm here about Brenda Castillo. CARLY: Are you from the police? PAIGE: No, I'm just somebody who's concerned about her. CARLY: I'm sorry. (Carly starts to close the door.) PAIGE: No, please - Is Brenda a witch, by any chance? Because if she is, I think I can help find her. CARLY: Come in. (She holds the door open. Paige walks inside.) [INT. BRENDA'S APARTMENT - DAY -- CONTINUOUS] CARLY: Are you one, too? A witch, I mean. PAIGE: Yeah. You? CARLY: Oh, no. No, that's Brenda's thing. PAIGE: You don't believe in witchcraft? CARLY: I will if it'll help find her. She wouldn't just not come home, you know? She never has. But the police, they won't do a thing. PAIGE: Yeah. It's the whole 24-hour deal, right? You guys seem pretty close. Are you sisters, roommates? CARLY: Um, no. Partners. It's another reason the police won't do anything, you know? They think it's just a lovers' quarrel or something, like it's just a big joke. PAIGE: I know it's not a joke. Look, if I'm gonna find her, I'm gonna need something, anything to go off of. CARLY: Maybe this will help. (Carly takes the doubloon off of the table.) CARLY: I found it on the floor when I got home. I've never seen it before. (She hands it to Paige.) CARLY: What do you think it means? (Paige frowns as she looks at it.) CUT TO: [INT. TREASURE ISLAND CAVE -- DAY] (Paige orbs into the cave. She looks around. The fog near the cave opening starts to roll in.) PAIGE: (whispers) Brenda? (Paige walks into the cave.) PAIGE: Brenda? (She continues to look around for Brenda.) PAIGE: Brenda? (Paige finds Brenda over on the side of the cave. She's lying on the ground, her wrists in chains.) (Paige smiles at finding her and rushes forward.) BRENDA CASTILLO: (tiredly) Go away. Hurry. (Paige stops.) (Behind her, the fog magically brings in the pirates. The enter the cave and walk up to Paige. Paige turns around.) CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: Took you long enough, Dearie. We've been waiting for you. (The Parrot squawks.) (Camera holds a beat on Paige.) FADE OUT (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [INT. TREASURE ISLAND CAVE -- DAY] (Brenda Castillo remains unmoving on the cave floor. Paige looks back at her.) CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: You wouldn't just orb out and leave an innocent stranded, would you, witch? PAIGE: You look like you've been out to sea for quite some time. CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: Nearly three hundred years in a place beyond time and space. Only when the mystical fog rolls in do we get a chance to come and play in fair port cities like your own. PAIGE: You see, I would have chosen London. CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: I did. They didn't have what I want. PAIGE: And what's that? (The Captain and a couple of pirates step closer to Paige.) CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: You and your sisters. Only you can get me the treasure I so desire. PAIGE: Oh, I guess I forgot where I buried it. CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: Oh, you're very quick with the tongue. Let me ask you, when the Gathering Storm arrives here, will you be making jokes then, huh? PAIGE: Gathering Storm. I'm so sorry. I don't speak pirate, matey. CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: This is not pirate lore. This is something very real, very dangerous, and I don't intend to be stuck here when it arrives. (Reznor pulls out the athame and holds it in front of Paige.) (Paige holds out her hand and calls for the sword.) PAIGE: Sword! (The sword hanging on the cavern wall orbs into Paige's hand. She stabs Reznor in the chest with the sword.) (Reznor hands the athame to a nearby pirate next to him. He turns to the pirate standing behind him.) FIRST MATE REZNOR: Excuse me. Would you mind? (The pirate pulls the sword out of Reznor. The pirates chuckle.) PAIGE: Okay. You're supposed to be -- CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: Dead? He wishes. (The Captain reaches out and cuts Paige across the base of her neck. Just enough for her to bleed.) CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: That's gonna leave a mark. (Paige orbs out of the cave.) FIRST MATE REZNOR: You let her escape! CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: I let her go. She's no good to us alone. FIRST MATE REZNOR: But her sisters - CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: Will come ... when they realize they've got no choice. Are you questioning me, First Mate? You remember your oath? You do as I say when I say it, understand? You all will, or this hell we're in will never end. (Reznor starts to walk away.) CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: (demands) What about the Golden Chalice? (Reznor turns around.) FIRST MATE REZNOR: We've had trouble procuring it, sir. CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: There may be another way. For now, make yourself scarce. We want the witches to rescue her, remember? PIRATES: Aye. (The pirates scatter and hide. The Captain turns and looks at Brenda who continues to remain unmoving on the rock.) CUT TO: [EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR (STOCK) - DAY] [INT. MANOR - ATTIC -- DAY] (Leo heals Paige's wound. Paige starts to get up. Leo tries to make her sit down.) LEO: All right. You need to slow down and relax. (Paige brushes Leo's hands away and stands up.) PAIGE: Okay. I can't, because we need to find Brenda. (Paige walks over to Piper who stands in front of the Book of Shadows. Leo remains in the back.) PIPER: Look, whatever their angle is, whatever their reason is, we can't go in there blind like you did, which, I may add, was very dangerous. PAIGE: All I did was scry for her with the coin. Is that so bad? LEO: And look where it got you. If you go back in again, you could be walking the plank. PAIGE: Cute. (Piper closes the Book of Shadows.) PIPER: Strangely, there is nothing in here about pirates. Leo, do you know anything? LEO: About pirates? A little before my time. (Paige opens the Book and leans in close to read what's on the pages as she flips through them. She's squinting.) PAIGE: Are you sure there's nothing in here? PIPER: You need glasses there, "Ma'am"? PAIGE: No! I'm just a little woozy. LEO: Which is why we need to know what we're up against. (Paige presses her fingers to her eyes.) PAIGE: Yeah, well, okay. Then we need to go to Magic School since they're obviously not of this time. (Phoebe walks into the attic.) PHOEBE: Who's not? PIPER: Oh, just, you know ... pirates. PHOEBE: Pirates? Like hot Johnny Depp pirates? (Piper shakes her head.) PIPER: Yeah, probably not. Tell her, Paige. PAIGE: Tell her what? Why we left an innocent stranded? PIPER: No. Why we almost lost a sister. PAIGE: If they'd wanted to kill me, they would have. They're obviously after something else. PIPER: Yeah, like wanting to kill all of us. PHOEBE: Okay. What's going on, you two? PIPER: We'll catch you up on the way to Magic School. Right now, we need to go brush up on our pirate lore. (to Leo) Can you watch the kids? LEO: Yeah, but -- PIPER: (gently) No, no. You already did your part. Now let us do ours. (As they talk, Paige tries to read the Book of Shadows. She again leans in close and squints at the pages.) PHOEBE: Okay. What if we don't find anything? I mean, pirates aren't known to be magical. PAIGE: (tiredly) Do you have a better idea? PHOEBE: Actually, yes, I might. CUT TO: [INT. THE BAY MIRROR - BULLPEN -- DAY] (Phoebe follows the Movie Critic into The Bay Mirror's bullpen.) MOVIE CRITIC: Pirate movies? You want to know about pirate movies? PHOEBE: Yeah, I do. Just tell me everything you know. MOVIE CRITIC: I thought you were on sabbatical. (The Movie Critic sits at his desk.) PHOEBE: It's not for my column. It's personal. MOVIE CRITIC: Ok, well, I guess "Mutiny on the Bounty" is the very best pirate movie. The Clark Gable version. (Leslie steps out from the office.) LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: That's not a pirate movie. That's a swashbuckler. There's a big difference. Sorry. I couldn't help but overhear. PHOEBE: Do you have your doctorate in pirates as well? LES ST. CLAIRE: Well, I grew up watching pirate movies with my dad. (to the movie critic) Hey, I got this. (He puts his arm around Phoebe and leads her back to the office.) "Captain Blood", "Cutthroat Island", "Blackbeard's Ghost". I mean, I've seen them all. Even "Yellowbeard". It was a great spoof. (They stop in the middle of the bullpen.) PHOEBE: You're just full of surprises, aren't you? LES ST. CLAIRE: Wait until tonight. (Phoebe laughs.) LES ST. CLAIRE: We're still on, aren't we? Come on. You wouldn't want to break the pirate's oath. PHOEBE: The pirate's oath? What's that? LES ST. CLAIRE: Oh, yeah, pirate's oath. If a Captain gives his word to his crew, he gotta hold to it or face mutiny. PHOEBE: Hmm. And would I be the Captain or the Crew in that analogy? LES ST. CLAIRE: Well, it is your column. PHOEBE: Yeah, I wouldn't want to disappoint my readers. LES ST. CLAIRE: So what else do you want to know about pirates? (He puts his arm around Phoebe and leads her away.) CUT TO: [EXT. POLICE STATION BUILDING (STOCK) - DAY] SHERIDAN: (v.o.) Tell me this isn't happening. [INT. POLICE STATION - BULLPEN -- DAY] (Sheridan walks into the bullpen. She's frustrated.) SHERIDAN: I cannot freakin' believe he's gonna pull us off this case. DARRYL: Listen, the truth is we don't really have that much to go on. SHERIDAN: Oh, we've got plenty to go on, Morris, and we'd have a hell of a lot more if you came clean. DARRYL: You think I know more than what I do. SHERIDAN: Look, don't insult me, okay? We both know that you're covering for them. So don't pretend like you're not. (She walks away from him and sits at her desk.) DARRYL: All I know is the Halliwells are really good people. They do good things. SHERIDAN: Yeah, like send us on a wild goose chase so that they can do god only knows what. Six years of unsolved crimes of all types, all mysteriously connected to them. I don't care what you say, Morris. That's not good people. (Darryl doesn't say anything. Sheridan picks up the phone and dials.) DARRYL: Who are you calling? SHERIDAN: The captain wants tangible proof. I'm calling the Feds, see what happened to that damn blood sample once and for all. (A hand reaches out and disconnects the phone. Sheridan looks up and finds a man in a dark suit standing at their desk.) AGENT BRODY: You want the Feds? You got him. (Agent Brody shows them his badge.) CUT TO: [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - GREAT HALL -- DAY] (Paige is looking at the bottles of ingredients, squinting as she tries to make out their contents.) PIPER: (o.s.) I think I found something. (Piper walks into the Great Hall carrying a book. Paige can't hear her.) PAIGE: Huh? PIPER: I said I think I found something. What, are you deaf now, too? (Paige turns around and sighs.) PAIGE: Well, you're gonna go deaf first. Don't forget, you're the older sister. PIPER: Yeah, I love you, too. Okay. So does Black Jack Cutting sound familiar? (Piper shows her the book.) PAIGE: No, actually. We weren't formally introduced. PIPER: Well, it says here he tricked a witch into falling for him in the 18th century so she could give him immortality. PAIGE: Hmm. That's quite a spell. PIPER: Yeah. It didn't help her much. Um, he cut her heart out with the same athame she used to curse him. PAIGE: Who? PIPER: What do you mean, who? The Captain. The guy we're talking about. PAIGE: (nods) Right. Right. Right. Uh -- wait. What was the question? PIPER: Are you all right? You don't look so good. PAIGE: I look fine, and, yeah, I'm just concerned with Brenda, I guess. I don't know. Okay. Let's see. He did say something about a storm, a "Gathering Storm". PIPER: Well, there is nothing about a storm, just the curse. PAIGE: Huh. Well, I guess I better make these potions a little stronger. (Paige turns around back to the counter. Phoebe walks into the Great Hall.) PHOEBE: Yo-ho, hello. PIPER: Did you just call me a Ho? How'd you get here? (Paige squints as looks at the ingredients.) PHOEBE: A pirate never betrays his vow of secrecy. (Piper stares at her; Phoebe caves.) Leo orbed me. Go ahead. Ask me anything you want to know about Buccaneers. I know everything. PIPER: You see a movie critic, and suddenly, you're an expert. PHOEBE: No. I ran into Leslie, and he taught me everything he knows. PIPER: Hmm. I bet. Looking forward to your date tonight? PHOEBE: No, I'm not. It's just a publicity stunt. PIPER: Mm-hmm. Right. (Behind them, glass shatters.) PIPER: Paige? (They turn around and see the mess on the floor. Paige stands over the mess, but she stares at her hands. It's shaking uncontrollably.) PHOEBE: What happened, honey? What's wrong with your hand? PAIGE: Uh ... I don't know. PIPER: I think that athame did more damage than we thought. PAIGE: I'm just gonna go sit on the couch, okay? Um, maybe you guys concentrate on Brenda and ... making more potions. (Paige walks away from them and into the next room. They turn and watch with concern as Paige settles back onto the couch to sleep.) CUT TO: [INT. POLICE STATION - SHERIDAN'S DESK -- DAY] (Sheridan is on the phone.) SHERIDAN: (to phone) Are you sure that we're talking about the same man? All right. Thank you. (She hangs up.) SHERIDAN: Okay, Agent Brody, you check out ... for now. AGENT BRODY: Great. Now can we get to work? DARRYL: What Agency did they say he was from? SHERIDAN: Homeland Security. DARRYL: What Division? AGENT BRODY: The Classified One. You're, uh, pretty protective of the sisters, aren't you, Lieutenant? DARRYL: I've known them a long time. AGENT BRODY: Six and a half years to be exact. I did my homework. SHERIDAN: So what are you doing here? What do you want? AGENT BRODY: I wanna know where you got that blood sample from. SHERIDAN: Why? AGENT BRODY: Because whatever it is, it's not human. DNA showed a triple helix. Now, we've only got two. Plus plasma, platelets, Rh factors, they're all incredible. Somebody messed up. You were not supposed to find that blood. SHERIDAN: I don't understand. AGENT BRODY: You wanna explain it to her? DARRYL: (shrugs) Explain what? AGENT BRODY: What kind of being that sample came from. DARRYL: "Being"? How would I know? AGENT BRODY: (scoffs) Don't worry, Lieutenant, I'm not after you. I'm after the Halliwells. And the recent rash of missing women that you've been ignoring matches a pattern that goes back for decades. Barbados, Panama, Newfoundland, New Orleans, and now here. Except they aren't missing women. They're missing witches. SHERIDAN: Witches?! AGENT BRODY: Just like the three sisters. And if I'm right, then, uh, one will lead us to the other. SHERIDAN: So you're saying that the Halliwells are not ... human? AGENT BRODY: No, no, they're human, all right, but this sample, it just came from something ... else. (to Darryl) So if I were you, I'd watch my step. People tend to disappear around these girls, especially cops. Now, I have been working for a long time to prove my theories. Now all I gotta do is catch them in the act. SHERIDAN: But how? AGENT BRODY: You got any Golden Chalices lying around? CUT TO: [EXT. SAN FRANCISCO (STOCK) - DAY] (The fog rolls over the bridge and onto land.) [INT. TREASURE ISLAND - CAVE -- DAY] (Piper and Phoebe cautiously walk into the cave. The magical fog rolls into the cave after them.) (Piper and Phoebe look around the cave.) PIPER: Maybe Paige scared them away. It's possible. PHOEBE: Pirates don't run from fights. They lure you into them. (They hear moaning coming from the back of the cave. Phoebe walks past the white state and fountain. She pauses and turns and finds Brenda on the ground.) PHOEBE: Piper! Come here. Grab that lantern. (Piper takes the lantern and heads for Brenda. Brenda looks at them. She is now a very old woman.) BRENDA CASTILLO: You must leave. PHOEBE: Who did this to you? BRENDA CASTILLO: The pirate. He cut me with the athame. PIPER: Wait a minute. Who are you? What's your name? BRENDA CASTILLO: Brenda. Save your sister. (Brenda collapses and dies.) PIPER: We gotta go get Paige. (Piper and Phoebe both turn and head back out.) CUT TO: [INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - GREAT HALL -- DAY] (Piper and Phoebe run to the Great Hall.) PHOEBE: Paige? Are you okay? (They stop in the Great Hall and find Paige sitting on the couch. She's wide awake and looking very, very old. Her hair is white and her skin wrinkled. Piper and Phoebe's eyes widen.) PIPER: Paige? OLD PAIGE: Well ... NOW I'm a ma'am. (Phoebe turns to look at Piper. Camera holds on Piper.) FADE OUT (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [INT. MANOR - ATTIC -- DAY] (Old Paige orbs into the attic flanked on either side of her by Piper and Phoebe. As soon as they materialize, they grab Paige, helping her stay on her feet.) PHOEBE: Oh! Easy, easy, easy. We got ya. PIPER: We got ya. (They help her to the nearest couch.) OLD PAIGE: Took a little more out of me than I thought. PIPER: Here. Couch. Couch. Leo? Get up here. (Phoebe reaches for the Book of Shadows and starts looking through it as soon as Paige sits down on the couch.) PAIGE: Are you two back together? I forget. PIPER: (groans) Leo? (Leo runs into the attic.) LEO: What's the matter? What happened? PIPER: Just heal this ... now. LEO: Heal? Heal what? PIPER: It's Paige. It's just Paige. She's just -- Don't ask. Just fix her. LEO: Fix it? What happened? PIPER: Well, she got cut by a cursed athame, and she's aging. LEO: Aging? Well, I can't fix aging. PHOEBE: I can't find a reversal to the curse in here anywhere. PIPER: Naturally. PHOEBE: Still, Captain Cutting must be banking on us finding a reversal to the curse so that we can save them both. LEO: Maybe I should go check with the Elders, see if they know -- PIPER: No. We don't have time. She's gaining years by the hour. OLD PAIGE: Forget about me. You have to save Brenda first. PHOEBE: Uh, sweetie, we lost her already. PIPER: Yeah, but we're not gonna lose you, too. (They hear a rustle of wings and the squawk of a parrot. They turn and see The Captain's parrot on the attic window sill.) PARROT: Shiver me witches. Shiver me witches. (The parrot has a note in his beak.) PIPER: You've got to be kidding me. (Piper raises her hands to blow the annoying bird up, but Phoebe stops her.) PHOEBE: No, Piper! Don't blow him up. PIPER: (rolls her eyes) Fine. (The parrot squawks.) LEO: Obviously, he was sent here for a reason. (Leo goes over to the bird and checks the note.) PHOEBE: What's it say? LEO: (reads) "Captain Black Jack Cutting cordially invites you to Treasure Island." (The parrot squawks.) CUT TO: [INT. TREASURE ISLAND - CAVE -- DAY] (Phoebe and Piper both have knives held against their necks.) PIPER: Uh, we were invited. FIRST MATE REZNOR: (to Phoebe) Invited? Or were you tricked? (He chuckles.) PHOEBE: Now, you wouldn't want to be violating parlay, would you? PIPER: Phoebe, now is not the time for stupid pirate facts. FIRST MATE REZNOR: How would you know about parlay? PHOEBE: Actually, I know everything about parlay. Everyone does. It's the sacredness of the Captain's word. Right, Piper? PIPER: Hmm? PHOEBE: You remember. Pirates of the Caribbean? PIPER: Uh -- okay. So? PHOEBE: So ... it's what keeps the crew from mutiny. Yeah? It's the oath of the pirates, right? As long as The Captain keeps his word, you're bound to him. Forever. FIRST MATE REZNOR: Yeah, and what's it to you? PHOEBE: Well, quite honestly, it just doesn't seem fair. I mean, he's the one that's cursed, not you, right? I mean, how are you ever supposed to move on? CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: What are you jabbering about over there? Bring 'em closer. (The pirates swing Piper and Phoebe around and push them toward The Captain.) PIPER: Whoa! Easy. CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: Come to save your sister, have you? How noble of you. PHOEBE: You're wasting your time. We don't know how to reverse the curse. CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: You don't have to. You just need to call forth the Fountain of Youth. (He lifts his hand and points to the fountain at the back of the cave. Piper and Phoebe turn around to look at it.) PIPER: That's a myth. CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: So are three-hundred year-old pirates who sail the high seas searching for revenge. Take it from me, the Fountain of Youth is very real. Only Ponce de Leon had it wrong. I've got it right. And finding it is the only way to save your precious sister's life. (The parrot squawks.) CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - ATTIC -- NIGHT] (Piper stands in front of the Book of Shadows and writes out the spell.) LEO: He wants you to do what? PIPER: You heard me. Break into a museum. LEO: To find the Fountain of Youth. PIPER: No, to steal a Golden Chalice that turns on the Fountain of Youth. LEO: Piper, you can't do this. PIPER: Well, I don't have a choice. Without the chalice, I can't cast a spell. Without the spell, I can't save Paige. So there you go. LEO: What if you get caught? This is exactly what Sheridan wants. PIPER: Forget about her. This is about family. A family, by the way, you have to be able to take care of if anything happens to us. LEO: Piper -- PIPER: No. I mean it, Leo. You need to promise me you'll be able to take care of them. LEO: I can't believe you're saying this. PIPER: Well, believe it. (Piper takes a deep breath.) Ignore the voices, and you'll be fine. You have to be. (Piper turns and heads out of the attic.) CUT TO: [INT. SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM -- NIGHT] CUE SOUND: FREEZING (They're at the San Francisco Museum, Hall of the 18th century. The Security Guard sitting behind the desk is frozen.) (Piper and Phoebe step out. Both are wearing black.) PHOEBE: So far, so good. PIPER: Oh, yeah? (They look over the railing down at the display below. The Golden Chalice is in displayed in the center of the room guarded by a moving laser sensor.) PHOEBE: Oh, wow. If we pull this off, Paige owes me Prada. PIPER: And baby-sitting for a year. (Piper freezes the laser lights. Piper and Phoebe head down to the display below. Phoebe's phone vibrates.) PIPER: You're getting a call now? (She checks her phone and suddenly remembers her date with Leslie.) PHOEBE: Oh, no. Oh, no. Piper, it's Leslie. I totally forgot about our date. PIPER: Don't you mean your "Publicity Stunt"? PHOEBE: What do you want from me? PIPER: I want you to admit that maybe you like him a little. PHOEBE: No. PIPER: Are you gonna answer it? PHOEBE: No, I'm not gonna answer it. We're a little busy right now. What am I gonna tell him, that we're robbing a museum? INTERCUT WITH: [INT. MAXINE'S - DINING ROOM - NIGHT] (Leslie sits at the candle-lit table. He's on the phone and checks his watch. He hangs up, puts the phone down. Stands up, puts his napkin on the table and digs into his pocket to pay the bill.) (Leslie grabs his jacket and leaves.) [INT. SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM -- NIGHT] (Piper mentally helps Phoebe prep to maneuver through the laser alarm system to get to the chalice.) PIPER: Okay, deep breath. (Phoebe takes a deep breath.) Clear your mind. Think positive. Think positive. Ready? Ready? Ready? Okay. After you. PIPER: Ooh. (Phoebe jumps over the first wide beams and tumbles over the next set. She stands up. She moves under the next beams and makes her way cautiously toward the center while Piper watches from the side.) PIPER: Easy. (Phoebe steps over the laser lights in front of her.) PIPER: Careful. (Phoebe slides under the lights, flips over, shimmies past the beams, puts her feet over her legs on the other side of the cross-beams and stands up.) (She's inside the chalice.) PHOEBE: Okay. Now what? (Piper waves one hand and blows up the glass surrounding the chalice. With the other hand, Piper freezes the glass mid-air.) PHOEBE: (impressed) Nicely done. (Phoebe walks up to the display and cautiously lifts up the chalice from its stand. Unfortunately, it releases the alarm button and sets another alarm off.) (Piper and Phoebe are busted. Big time. The glass frozen mid-air falls to the ground.) PHOEBE: Oh. (Phoebe runs for it.) [INT. SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM - LOBBY - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS] (With the chalice in their possession, Piper and Phoebe run out of the area and head for the lobby.) PHOEBE: Okay. Ooh. This is bad! This is bad! (They run through the lobby on their way out.) (Sheridan, Darryl and Agent Brody step out from the hallway. Sheridan eagerly cocks her weapon to go after the girls. Agent Brody stops her.) SHERIDAN: How did you know they'd be here? AGENT BRODY: What're you doing? SHERIDAN: What do you mean? I'm gonna bust 'em. AGENT BRODY: Not with that thing, you're not. Besides, I don't want to catch them stealing. I want to catch them using magic. FADE OUT (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [INT. TREASURE ISLAND - CAVE -- NIGHT] (The Captain and the pirates wait in front of the Fountain of Youth. Piper and Phoebe return to the cave with the Golden Chalice.) CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: Welcome back, ladies. PHOEBE: Stow it. Here's your chalice. (Phoebe holds out the chalice.) CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: What's your hurry? (The Captain puts his parrot aside and takes the chalice from Phoebe.) CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: Now ... the spell, if you will. PIPER: With these offerings, I call on thee, The Goddess of Fertility, rise now, show us the truth, give us the gift of eternal youth. (The Fountain starts to pour out magical liquid from its spout directly into the golden chalice. The pirates watch in wonder.) (The Captain drinks from the chalice and he morphs back into his youthful- looking self. His youth is restored.) PIRATE: (b.g.) He's young again. PIRATE/S: (b.g.) Ahh! FIRST MATE REZNOR: Mother of god. (The parrot squawks.) PIRATE: (b.g.) It worked. (The Captain puts the chalice down on the Fountain.) PIPER: (b.g.) Now, my sister. YOUNG CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: (shrugs) What about her? (to his pirate crew) Run them through. (The pirates step forward. Phoebe also steps forward to stop them.) PHOEBE: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! He just broke his oath. He promised not to hurt us, remember? YOUNG CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: I said kill them. What are you waiting for? (The pirates again advance. Phoebe stops them as she explains.) PHOEBE: He doesn't care about his oath or parlay. All he cares about is himself. He promised you treasures, right? He promised you freedom, but where is it? He lied. He broke his oath, and now you can, too. (The pirates hesitate as they realize that she's right. The Captain sees their hesitance and grabs Reznor.) YOUNG CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: (threatens) I'll have you drawn and quartered, sir. Raised from the highest yardarm until sun rots your skin. Then I'll feed you to the sharks. (Reznor pushes the Captain backward down to the floor. He draws his sword.) PHOEBE: Looks like mutiny to me. YOUNG CAPT. BLACK JACK CUTTING: You'll die, too, you know. You're only alive because of me. FIRST MATE RAZNOR: It's a fate worse than death, I can assure you. (Reznor stabs The Captain with his sword.) (Phoebe and Piper both cover their eyes and turn away from the sight.) (They look back as the Captain once again ages before their eyes. His body disintegrates into dust.) (Reznor looks at Phoebe and Piper.) FIRST MATE RAZNOR: (gratefully) Thank you. (The Pirate crew also disintegrates into dust.) (The parrot squawks, and then disintegrates into dust.) (Phoebe rushes forward and grabs the Chalice from the Fountain.) PIPER: Nice speech. PHOEBE: There's still some left. We've gotta get it to Paige. (Phoebe turns to leave the cave.) PIPER: Wait. We don't want this happening any time again soon. (Piper waves her hands and blows the Fountain of Youth into pieces.) SHERIDAN: (o.s.) Hold it right there! (Piper and Phoebe turn around to see Sheridan and Darryl. Sheridan has her gun on them.) SHERIDAN: I don't know how you did that, but just don't move. PIPER: Uh-oh. PHOEBE: Darryl, do something. DARRYL: I can't. SHERIDAN: Face down, on the ground. Now! (A dart gun fires. Sheridan falls to the ground. Behind her, Agent Brody has a dart gun pointed at her.) (Darryl turns around, his gun on Agent Brody.) (Agent Brody shows Darryl his gun held in a loose grip.) AGENT BRODY: Dart gun. (Darryl checks Sheridan. Sure enough, she had a dart in the side of her neck.) AGENT BRODY: I told you, Morris, I wasn't after you. She'll be all right. She'll wake up with a hell of a headache, though. PIPER: Who are you? AGENT BRODY: Someone you owe now. Go on, get out of here. I'll take care of her. You got a sister to save, right? (Phoebe and Piper quietly and quickly exit the cave.) AGENT BRODY: (to Darryl) You think you can give me a hand with her? Seriously. I think I'm gonna need some help. (Agent Brody and Darryl both kneel to pick Sheridan up.) DISSOLVE TO: [EXT. VARIOUS SAN FRANCISCO CITY LIGHTS (STOCK) - NIGHT] [EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR (STOCK) - NIGHT] [INT. MANOR - SECOND FLOOR HALLWAY / PIPER'S BEDROOM -- NIGHT] (Leo is passed out on the bed, the book he was reading from open on his chest. Wyatt and Chris are on either side of him, both boys wide awake.) (Piper stands in the doorway watching her men.) PAIGE: Hey. (Paige walks up to her. She's young and restored back to normal. Piper turns around.) PIPER: Hey. How are you feeling? PAIGE: (sighs) I feel young. I feel grateful. You're not gonna hear me complain about getting old again until I'm at least 75. The good news is, you know, you'll be there before I am. PIPER: You're right. PAIGE: Hey, what did that Agent Brody guy want anyway? PIPER: I don't know. But that's tomorrow's problem. (Paige looks beyond Piper into the room where Leo and the kids are. They both look at him.) PAIGE: He did a good job. PIPER: Yeah, he did. PAIGE: Think it'll stay that way? PIPER: I hope so. PAIGE: All right. Good night, Sweetie. (Paige turns and leaves.) PIPER: Good night ... ma'am. (Piper chuckles.) CUE SOUND: ORBING [INT. MANOR -- SECOND FLOOR HALLWAY OUTSIDE PIPER'S BEDROOM - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS] (The Elder orbed into the hallway.) ELDER: It's not over yet, you know. His wounds won't easily heal. They may never. PIPER: I know. ELDER: Just don't give up on him, Piper. We're all going to need him back. Before the Gathering Storm. (The Elder orbs out.) (Thoughtful, Piper turns around and heads back into the bedroom. She steps inside and closes the door.) CUT TO: [INT. THE BAY MIRROR - BULLPEN / PHOEBE'S OFFICE -- NIGHT] (Phoebe walks through the bullpen into her office. Leslie is there typing. She knocks lightly on the door.) PHOEBE: Knock knock. (Leslie looks at her and takes off his headset. He stands up, grabs his cup and heads out to refill it.) (He walks past her.) PHOEBE: Oh, you're really mad, aren't you? LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: No, no. I get stood up all the time. PHOEBE: I'm sure that's not true. Listen. I would've called you, but I-- (He refills his cup.) LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: But what? Why didn't you? PHOEBE: You know what? It's kind of complicated. LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: You know, you use that excuse a lot. I mean, is it something you're not telling me, or do you just think I'm stupid? PHOEBE: No, of course I don't think you're stupid. LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: Well, then what is it? What are you afraid of? PHOEBE: Who says I'm afraid of anything? LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: You're afraid of commitment, aren't you? PHOEBE: Commitment? What are you talking about? What commitment? I thought this was just a publicity stunt? LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: Oh, the hell you did. I mean, why can't you just admit you like me? What is the big deal? PHOEBE: Oh, you're one to talk, mister. You're the one that had to orchestrate this whole contest because you were too afraid to ask me out straight. LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: That is not true. PHOEBE: Oh, no? LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: It's not true. PHOEBE: Oh, really? Okay. (Phoebe walks over to the nearest desk and holds up The Bay Mirror issue.) PHOEBE: Then how come you didn't tell me about it until after you already printed it? Until after you won the contest? (He scoffs, busted.) Yeah, that's right. I knew the whole time. LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: And you didn't say anything? PHOEBE: No, you didn't say anything. LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: You never called me back. PHOEBE: Oh, you know what? That's lame! LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: If you knew about the contest, why did you agree to go through with it? PHOEBE: Well, because - LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: Yeah, because of what? Come on. PHOEBE: Honestly? You wanna know the truth? I didn't wanna embarrass you. [Imitates buzzer] LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: Wrong answer. PHOEBE: You know what? You don't know me. (She takes a step closer to him. He steps closer to her. Their argument continues.) LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: You won't let me know you. PHOEBE: That's not true. LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: You're afraid of getting involved with me because you're afraid of getting hurt again. PHOEBE: Save the advice for your readers. LESLIE ST. CLAIRE: You read me-- (Phoebe falls into him and kisses him. She seems surprised and pulls back, but he leans forward and kisses her back before she thinks about it.) (Their argument forgotten, they continue to kiss and start removing each other's clothes.) (Camera holds on them for a beat, then promptly ...
