Charmed s08e09 Episode Script

Sounds like we found him.
Yeah, but what's he doing|at Magic School? What do you mean?|This place is demon central.
And it's beating up other demons,|that's not what Krycheks do.
Well, they also don't attack gnomes|and leprechauns but this one did.
Something's not right.
|It doesn't make sense.
Yeah, well, what doesn't make sense|is that we are tracking this thing.
What does the government want|with this demon anyway? That will be the first thing|I'm gonna ask Agent Murphy when we figure out what's going on.
That thing's the Krychek? - How is that possible?|- Who cares? Just vanquish it.
I already tried and Agent Murphy|wants us to bring the thing back.
I'm not bringing that thing back.
Go, go, go.
See, this is what a Krychek demon|is supposed to look like.
Well, maybe the one you guys|were following was just a bigger one.
No, this wasn't just bigger, this was like going from you|to Schwarzenegger.
That is so weird.
Yeah, scary-weird.
Oh, good, you found the skis.
Yeah, they're kind of old though, maybe we should just rent|new ones, you know? - Damn it.
|- Watch your language.
Wyatt is picking up|everything we say lately.
I'm gonna get coffee,|you guys want any? No, thanks.
- You okay with those?|- Yes, I got these.
Why don't you finish packing?|I wanna miss traffic, okay? I know, I'm gonna, I just need to talk to Agent Murphy first|about this demon of his.
- Piper.
|- What, I can't just let it go, can I? Yes, you can.
When was the last time|we had a weekend together alone? I know.
I promise, nothing is gonna|stop that from happening.
I promise.
But I just kind of need|to talk to him first.
Why can't Billie talk to Murphy? Because I cannot find Billie anywhere.
|She's not answering.
- Maybe we could just get her a pager?|- Well, just keep trying.
Oh, Paige,|Henry called for you last night.
Why? What did he want? I don't know,|but I'm pretty sure he wants you.
- That's ridiculous.
|- Why? Don't you like him? - No.
|- Really? Then why is your face turning red? It's not turning red.
|I probably just put too much blush on.
It's kind of turning red.
Okay, why don't you and me go see|what the government's not telling us? And I'll be right back, I swear.
- Hey, don't you have a lunch date?|- I cancelled.
I'm taking a little hiatus.
- From lunch?|- From men.
Okay.
Come on, Billie.
Curious, very curious.
He still attacked me.
Why can't I have my revenge? Because Margoyle wants to find out|how he transformed, why he became so powerful.
I don't care.
I can't let a lower-level demon|get away with You can and you will, Emrick.
Otherwise, Margoyle will attack you.
I didn't do that.
Who are you? Me? I'm a student here at Magic School.
Yeah, you know, I must have got stuck|in an astral plane or something.
Did you guys possibly redecorate? - Move and you're dead, understand?|- What do you want? What I want is to find the demon|that took my sister 15 years ago.
But since you and your buddies|trashed this place, I can't find the books that I need.
So you're gonna have|to find him for me.
Her name is Christy, Christy Jenkins.
|Ask around, I'll be back.
Billie, finally.
Hi, how you doing? - Henry, what are you doing here?|- I need your help.
The baby's mom got sent to prison.
|I've got till the end of the day to find his dad or he's gonna|get put into the system.
And you're telling me this why? Because I need you|to watch him for me.
Oh, no, I don't do babies.
|No, sorry, no.
I tried calling.
Look, you can't just stop by|and drop a baby in my lap.
Look, you said you were|all about doing good, right? - Here's your chance.
|- No, that's not what I meant.
You know how beautiful|your eyes are when you're angry? Are you trying to charm me? - You think I'm charming?|- No, I don't.
Look, I'm doing this|under the radar, okay? I can't keep Ramon at my office, social services could show up.
|They'll take him.
Oh, thank you.
Here you go.
But for the record, I resent this.
Yeah, he might need|to be changed, too.
I owe you.
Good, you're back.
How'd it go? - Not good.
|- What do you mean? - Where's our demon?|- Our demon? Why don't you tell us|a little bit more about our demon? Like how the government got him|in the first place.
I don't really know.
|I wasn't in the loop.
Well, you need to get in the loop,|and fast.
Because our demon|was a little more powerful than we expected,|and I'd like to know why.
Well, I'm sorry,|but I can't tell you what I don't know.
Phoebe, go get a premonition off him,|see if he's lying.
- No, I can't.
|- What do you mean you can't? - Just go touch him.
|- Seriously, I can't.
I don't really believe in them|anymore.
What do you mean? Well, they haven't really|worked well for me lately, so why should I listen to them? That's not true.
Oh, really?|Do I look pregnant to you? - Ladies, did you get?|- Hold it.
I realize why you feel this way.
And I understand,|but you can't give up on your gift.
- My gift gave up on me.
|- That is not true.
Guys.
Hey, did you or didn't you|get the demon back? Well, that was the objective.
Are you kidding me?|We barely wounded it.
So you still gotta go get him.
Dude, are you deaf? What did you guys do to that thing? I have no idea, okay? I swear.
But if we don't get it off the streets,|we all could get exposed.
There's the E word again.
- Hey, where have you been?|- Class.
Oh, really? I've been trying|to call you all morning.
- Well, my cell phone died.
|- Oh, yeah, okay.
Yeah, so that's a great baby there.
|Is it yours? Forget the baby, okay? Where were you? Look, I've been handling|this whole demon load just fine.
So, what I do on my own time,|it's my business.
Know what?|You are doing the bratty thing, which means you were probably|doing something you shouldn't be doing.
Did you go to Magic School? Yes.
Yes, okay.
But there's information there|on my sister.
What do you expect? I expect you to be available|when we need you, that's the whole point|of us teaching you.
Well, I'm not a doctor, okay?|I can't be available 24/7.
Yes, actually, you can.
Because you weren't around,|I'm stuck taking care of this baby now.
Nursery.
- Remember me, witch?|- You know him? Magic School.
Okay, so maybe I know him.
Oh, can't we just get back|to the freaky demon, please? Yeah, we can, after I deal with you.
I don't understand|why you can't just let this go.
Look, I understand your problem|with your premonitions but why cancel all your dates? Because they're me trying|to make my premonitions come true.
- So?|- Well, so it's not working, okay? My conception date|has come and gone.
Okay, Phoebe,|it's okay to feel disappointed.
No, I'm not disappointed.
|You know, I'm relieved.
So now you don't want a baby? No, of course, I do.
|I definitely do, just not right now.
Okay, no men, no babies, just me.
- What's so wrong with that?|- Nothing.
Nothing is wrong with that|except for the fact that it's not you.
Don't you have a ski trip|to get ready for? What the hell? Language.
Hi.
What happened? A demon attacked us.
I guess I kind of ticked him off|at Magic School.
Magic School?|What were you doing there? Look, Paige already gave me the|"What were you thinking?" speech So, what were you thinking? Look, I only went there so I could get|more information on my sister.
I understand you want answers.
|We want answers too.
But that cannot be|your primary focus.
Oh, sweetie, you're hurt.
Oh, no, that's just a scratch.
Okay, but a hair deeper|and you would have needed stitches.
Really, it's not a big deal.
|I'm getting used to it.
So anyway, Paige thinks the demon|did the same Dr.
Jekyll, Mr.
Hyde that the one at Magic School did.
So whatever got him all hulked out,|he was able to track me.
Which is cool.
I mean, bad cool,|but still kind of cool.
So now, there's two of them|running around out there? No, actually, I saw yours go|back at Magic School.
He's dead.
Oh, Murphy will be excited|about that.
Yeah, but why are all these demons|running around on steroids? It doesn't make any sense.
You want me to check the "Book" - so you can still go on your trip?|- Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
You're still in the doghouse.
- That's not yours.
|- That's not mine.
Hi.
Where did you get the baby? Oh, Henry dropped him off with me.
- Because?|- Because he likes to see me squirm.
No, apparently the baby's mom is in jail|and we're trying to find the dad.
Oh, that's very noble of him.
Yeah, well, ten bucks says|he knows where to find him.
Told you she likes him.
Hi, buddy.
Does he have a name? Yeah, this is Ramon.
So Billie told us what happened.
Yeah, I talked to her about it,|you know, but I can't really blame her.
She said the demon|looked like the Krychek? Yeah, only in size and in power.
Billie said when she confronted him|before, he wasn't nearly as big.
Did you get anything out|of Agent Murphy? Just that he wants the demon back,|which is disturbing.
Now that Billie saw him die, I don't|really think it's our problem anymore.
I'd still like to know|what's making them so powerful.
Okay, well, I have to get Henry|to take this baby somewhere else because it is too dangerous|around here.
- Pheebs, will you watch him for me?|- What? I can't.
I have stuff that I have to do.
|You should take him with you, right? I can't.
Social services|might be there waiting to take him.
Oh, come on, you love babies.
Yeah, I know, I'm just, you know,|focussing on other things right now.
You know, I think this is precisely|what you should be focussing on.
Come on.
She's gotta go to Henry.
|I gotta go romance my husband.
It's just a baby.
It doesn't bite.
- Did I miss something?|- Nothing.
A lot.
See you.
Whatever.
Here you go, honey.
|Here you go.
Hey, you.
Okay, little one.
Applesauce.
What's happening to me? You're dying like all the others.
It's happening|all over the underworld.
What have you learned? I'm still studying his Studying? I don't have time|for you to study.
I want you to know.
I want to harness this great power|before another overlord does without meeting his fate.
At least this one's lived the longest.
He may hold the key to preventing|the power from killing you.
How? If I can isolate the one cell fragment|in his blood that's causing it Margoyle, please.
|I just need a little more time.
Time's up.
What do you want, Tracker? Last night, I saw the Charmed Ones|attack the Krychek.
So? This morning,|their new witch attacked Emrick.
Both demons|had the power you seek.
Which means they must be|after the power as well.
Perhaps we should let them|find it for us.
Follow them.
- Oh, hi.
Hey.
|- Hey.
- How's the packing going?|- Oh, it's great, great.
Two-day trip, Piper thinks|she needs a third suitcase.
Making any progress? No, there's nothing in this book that says how|to supercharge a demon.
Well, that means none|of their ancestors had confronted anything|like it before.
It's just a book of their experiences.
Have you started|your own "Book of Shadows?" No.
Why, should I? Yeah, I think every witch|should have one.
You know, you can pass it on|from generation to generation.
- You okay?|- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm just a little worried,|I mean, about all these demons.
Well, get used to it.
Hey, are witches|and demons different species? - What?|- You know, like dogs and cats, so they can't get each other|sick and stuff? I guess so, why? Okay, good.
|No reason.
Have a good trip.
Thanks, if we ever get there.
Well, if we check|employment records, we're at least gonna know|where he worked last.
I mean, he has to feed himself, right?|He needs some food.
Bring me that file, then.
- Well, yeah|- Hey.
Yeah, you have it, I don't have it.
|Just bring it here.
Is everything okay?|Where's the baby? Ramon is fine, he's with my sister,|but, you know, you've gotta find another place|for him to stay.
Why, what's wrong with your place? It's not a good place|for him to be right now.
- Why not?|- It just isn't.
More secrets, huh? - Henry, we barely know each other.
|- You don't wanna tell me, that's fine.
- It's okay.
|- It's not that Yeah, actually, it is that.
Anyway, can you please find|somewhere else for him to go? - Paige, I can't.
|- Why not? Seriously, if I don't find the father|before social services finds out, they're gonna stick Ramon|in a foster home.
They will do that.
Well, you know, I mean, sometimes foster homes|aren't all that bad.
It was for me.
You were in a foster home? Look, I just need|a little more time, okay? I know I can find the father.
|He used to be a parolee of mine.
- Was the mom too?|- Yeah.
But the dad, he turned out great.
I mean,|he straightened out his act and Oh, the problem is I don't think|he even knows he has a kid.
- Are you sure it's his?|- Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, she told me.
Ramon's the one thing|she wouldn't lie about.
But I've been showing these pictures|all around where he used to hang and just nobody knows anything.
Hey, got those employment records|you wanted.
You did have it, huh?|This is what I wanted.
Okay, well, I'm gonna go.
The sooner you can find him,|the better.
- Paige.
|- Yeah? - Thanks.
|- You're welcome.
What are you looking at? - You sure you need all this stuff?|- Yes.
Just so you know, I know what you're|trying to do and it's not gonna work.
Okay, just so you know, I know what you're trying to do|and I will be relentless.
I just wanna stop him|from fussing, that's all.
Phoebe, come on,|you're a natural with babies.
Not right now, I'm not.
For crying out loud,|he's probably hungry.
Just take him down to the kitchen|and heat up a bottle.
That's a good plan.
Here you go.
No, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait.
No, no.
Wait, wait, wait.
|Phoebe, no, don't - Damn it.
|- Language.
Oh, sure, now you stop fussing.
Talk about a natural.
Yes, and I have the stretch marks|to prove it, thank you.
- What am I gonna do with Phoebe?|- Worry about it when you get home.
What's the big deal?|She takes a little break from dating.
The big deal is, it's not who she is.
|The woman is a love machine.
And if she gives up on men,|something is very, very wrong.
And I know that it's just that|she's lost faith in her premonitions.
So making her watch a baby's|gonna make it better? Look, I'm working with what I've got.
Hi.
Maybe we should just stay.
For God's sakes.
Here, take this.
|Take this, take this, take this.
Stay here.
No, Piper, it's Billie.
No, no, you might blow her up.
Okay, blow her up.
I don't know what happened.
I mean, one second,|she was helping me warm up the milk, and the next she was throwing me|around the room like a rag doll.
What happened?|Another demon attack? Not another demon.
It's Billie.
That's Billie?|What happened to her? - We don't know.
|- Where's Ramon? He's safe.
He's with Leo.
Right now, we need to figure out|how to help her.
Before she goes too.
Maybe we should call the Elders.
Maybe you're right.
|I'll go do that.
Paige Yeah, I'm gonna get the baby|out of here.
I've got a photo of his dad so it should|take about two secs to scry for him.
Phoebe, why don't you stay|with Billie here? Okay, hurry.
- We know why you called.
|- Are you spying on us again? No, but we know|what happened to Billie.
What happened to her is happening|all over the magical community.
We don't know what's causing it yet.
It seems to be some sort of a virus,|and it's spreading fast.
- I don't understand, how is that?|- Possible? I'm afraid whatever this virus is, Piper,|wherever it came from, it doesn't discriminate|against good or evil.
It can infect all magical creatures.
Even you and your sisters.
- So what do we do?|- We have to find a cure, an antidote.
But before we do that,|we have to find the source first.
- How much time does Billie have?|- Not long.
Although, we have learned|that the more powerful you are, the quicker the virus consumes you.
Hi, hey.
Paige, what are you doing?|You can't bring him here.
No, no, no, it's okay.
I found his dad.
- What?|- Yeah, Ernesto.
There, that's got his work number,|his home number, a place where he likes to go|have a drink.
You might wanna talk to him|about that, new dad and all.
Wait, wait, wait.
I don't understand.
|How did you find him? I've been looking for him|everywhere.
- I have my ways.
|- Oh, really? - Would you care to elaborate?|- No, not really.
Look, you wanted the baby|to have a chance.
And now he has one.
I don't know what to say.
You don't have to say anything.
|My pleasure.
Okay, I gotta go.
Is everything all right? No, not really.
A friend of mine|is in quite a bit of trouble.
Maybe I can help.
That's very sweet of you, but no.
Take care of the baby, okay? Piper, something's happening|to Billie.
Oh, no.
"Oh, no"? What does "oh, no" mean?|What did the Elders say? They think it's some kind of virus and that she must have contracted it|from the scratch.
So the demon gave this to her? If we don't find an antidote soon,|she'll die.
Well, no, I mean,|we can't let her die.
There's gotta be something we can do.
|We can't just do nothing, Piper.
Well, we gotta figure out|where it all started and who it all started from.
Paige, where are you? What? What happened? We gotta get to Agent Murphy's.
|I'll explain later.
Quick, quick, quick.
You can't just - What the?|- Locks.
You're not telling us everything,|Agent Murphy, and we're running out of time.
You need to tell us everything|you know about that demon now.
But I've told you everything I know.
See, I don't like that answer.
Are you out of your mind?|This is a federal office.
Listen to me.
Whatever you guys did|to that demon created a virus.
A virus that can infect|every magical creature there is.
If we don't find a cure,|and soon, Billie will die.
Do you remember Billie? Cute, blonde, perky.
|Yeah, she's gonna die.
So we would like some answers,|and now.
- Paige.
|- Chair.
You're gonna tell us|how this whole thing started.
Or the next thing|I'm gonna blow up will be you.
Did some digging after you left.
Look, all right.
If I would have known,|I would have told you, but I wasn't cleared|for all the details.
They found the demon|in the desert? Yeah, but it was a fluke,|and he was injured.
That's the only way the task force|was able to capture it.
The government just wanted|to study it, you know, learn from it.
I keep seeing the word "injected.
"|What did they inject him with? Human blood.
They were trying to find a way|to combine it with the demon's blood|to extract its powers.
Powers, why? To inject the serum back|into people.
Soldiers.
- To make them more powerful.
|- But it didn't work.
When the test subject didn't react,|the project was shut down.
Apparently, when they were deciding|what to do with the demon, that's when he escaped|from containment.
So now he's out there spreading|the virus that you guys created.
You said the test subject|didn't show any side effects? - No, none.
|- Where are you going with this? I'm thinking the test subject's blood probably holds the antidote|we're looking for.
If he was immune to its effects,|where can we find him? I don't know, I mean, he was|only referred to here as Patient X.
Like I said,|when the experiment was shut down, all his records were destroyed.
There has to be something|that we can use to find him.
Well, the only thing I can think of|is this ID tag we got here.
But I already scanned the bar code, and all the information's|already been erased.
He could be anywhere.
Thanks.
Wow, I must be pretty bad off|if you're waiting on me hand and foot.
Well, don't get used to it|because you're gonna be just fine.
Am I? I'm dying, aren't I? No, you are not dying.
Listen, do you have any idea how many times I have almost died|in the last seven years? Yeah, but this is different.
I'm sorry.
|I should have listened to you.
Stop it.
It's okay.
We're gonna save you, and we're gonna save magic|while we're at it.
How can you save magic if you don't even believe|in your own anymore? I heard you talking to Piper.
I'll be right back.
|I'm gonna get you some more ice.
- How's Billie?|- Not good.
What'd you guys find out? It was a government|secret experiment.
They mixed things|they shouldn't have.
Basically, their demon was the "Outbreak" monkey|that caused all of this.
Okay, so if they made it,|then they must have a cure, right? Well, they don't even know|how they created it.
Yeah, you don't know that for sure.
I mean, for all we know|this could have been their intention.
Phoebe, it's not a conspiracy.
|They just screwed up.
We had a shot at an antidote,|and they screwed that up too.
What shot? They injected somebody|with Krychek's blood and it had no effect.
Okay, then maybe the cure|is in the blood, right? Okay, look, this is all we've got.
And what we don't have,|is enough time.
We've gotta find this Patient X, convince him to give us|some of his blood so that we can make an antidote.
Fix us, and then fix Billie.
Even if we pool all|of our powers together, we may not have enough time.
Then let's get stronger.
Let's get Billie to infect us.
What? Are you nuts?|Phoebe, we could die.
Not if we find the antidote first.
Still, there's no guarantee|it's gonna work.
It's very risky.
Yeah, tell that to Billie.
Look, I don't see the point|of having powers if we can't use them|to save someone that we care about.
Billie.
Billie, wake up.
Billie, wake up.
I think we figured out a way|to save you.
But we're gonna need your help.
- Wait, no, no, no.
|- It's okay.
Trust us.
- Should we tell Leo?|- No, I know what he's gonna say.
Come on.
Oh, come on, it won't hurt much.
- How long is that gonna last?|- Hopefully, long enough.
I haven't found an antidote yet.
That's okay.
I think we have.
- Holy crap.
|- Language.
- Leave Leo alone.
|- He's my husband.
- What did you do that for?|- I just felt like it.
All right, stop it, you guys|are gonna kill each other.
How did this happen? We made it happen.
All right, we have work to do.
Oh, my God.
- Duck.
|- Duck? Get down.
Fireball.
What do you want from me? We want you to save magic.
- And us.
|- Yeah.
Easy, easy, slow.
- What happened?|- CliffsNotes version: We hulked out, kicked ass|and saved the world.
You know,|just another day at the office.
Yeah, I can see that.
We got the antidote to the Elders, and everyone is being cured|right now as we speak.
- What about the demons?|- They got to the antidote too.
You guys risked yourselves|to save me.
Well, we gotta keep you around|so you can find your sister, right? - I don't know what to say.
|- You don't have to say anything.
We think of you|as part of the family now.
We're not gonna let anything|happen to you.
Hey, sunshine, it's good to see|some colour in your cheeks.
Yeah, grey and pasty,|not your colour scheme.
How'd it go with Murphy? Oh, well, he decided we were|a little too difficult to work with.
So I don't think we'll be hearing|from him again anytime soon.
How rude.
Well, if you guys will excuse me,|I'm gonna go check on little Ramon.
- Don't you mean Henry?|- No, I mean Ramon.
- Kiss him for me.
|- Henry? No, Ramon.
Okay.
He got to you, didn't he? The baby.
All right, don't you have some kind|of ski trip to get ready for? - Yeah.
|- Yeah.
Why didn't Tina tell me|we had a kid? Look, Tina's a little messed up|right now, okay? That's why she's back in prison.
|She didn't make it.
But you did.
|Now your son Ramon needs you.
I don't know if I can do this, man.
I know you can, Ernesto.
Don't you think he'd be better off|with somebody else? He doesn't have anybody else.
It's you or the state, buddy.
|Ernesto, look at me.
Too many sons, they grow up|without their dads.
That's how you got|where you were a while back, right? Now you got a chance|to break that cycle.
Do right by him and by you.
How do I hold him? I don't know, man, you just do.
Cradle his head there.
- You got him?|- Yeah.
- Kind of looks like me, don't he?|- Yeah, he does.
And I got you some diapers and stuff|just to get you started, you know? You gotta heat up the milk too though,|right? But not too hot.
Call the lady at social services,|if you have any questions.
Here you go.
You got it?|There we go.
And I'll come by later.
|I'll check up on you.
Okay.
Thanks, Henry.
Don't thank me.
You can thank|the lady who found you.
- What lady?|- Paige Matthews.
Beautiful lady, great smile,|a little wacky.
- She didn't find you?|- No.
All right, man.
Get out of here, Dad.
- Take care of your son.
|- Okay.
So, what happened to the big lug|who didn't know a thing about babies? Oh, I guess I'm a quick study.
Sure it wasn't just an excuse|to talk to me again? I guess you're gonna have|your secrets, so I'll have mine.
Fair enough.
So I've got a great smile? Yeah, you do.
- Mommy, mommy.
|- Oh, hi.
- Did you have a good day at school?|- Yeah.
Do you have homework? I knew you'd come here|sooner or later.
Really? How's that? Well, because six years ago,|I was you standing there talking to me.
Wait, so if you are me,|then who were you talking to? Don't try to figure it out.
|It'll hurt our head.
Our head? The important thing is,|is that you're here now.
For a reason and to find answers.
Okay, you know what?|Don't get all cryptic with me, please.
Not after the day I've had today.
Oh, I remember the day you had.
It's the day you lost faith|in your premonitions because of all you've been through,|and all your disappointments.
You were promised something, something that means|the world to you.
And you're afraid|you might not get it.
Will I? I'm living proof of that.
And so is she.
Piper, please.
Oh, come on,|what's one more pair of shoes? Are you all right? Yeah.
Never better.
