Charmed s08e10 Episode Script

- Listen to that baby, huh?|- Do what? - Isn't she something?|- She's something, all right.
Oh, man, straight six,|four-speed trannie Just like the one my grandpa|gave me 60 years ago.
Okay, sweetie, you're barely 30.
You know what I mean,|that first time I was alive.
- All right, keep it down now, will you?|- Oh, right, sorry.
- So, what do you think?|- I think she's beautiful.
- What do you think?|- I think $9000 is a lot of money.
Ninety-five hundred, actually.
But that includes the original tailgate,|which I've got out back.
Well, that makes it|completely different.
Seriously, it's not easy finding|a '41 in working condition, and with matching|serial numbers to boot.
- I know it doesn't look like much now.
|- No, it doesn't.
But it will when I'm done with it.
You know, I just sand off|some of the rust, adjust the carburettor,|rebuild the engine.
Come on, that's half the fun.
When I'm done with this puppy, it's gonna be worth,|what, 25, 30 grand? At least.
And think, maybe someday,|I can pass it on to the boys.
How long are you planning|on keeping this thing? You know what I mean.
Come on, this is a second chance|for me, a chance to start over.
- All right.
|- Yes.
- I love you.
|- I bet you do.
Okay, but seriously,|the boys don't ride in it without car seats and helmets|and, like, elbow pads.
- Promise.
|- Okay.
Let's go write it up.
What? You saw the Angel of Death|and you're only telling me this now? Well, I didn't wanna worry you.
- Well, where did you see him? When?|- This morning.
Downtown with Leo.
But I don't think|it means anything, really.
Piper, the only person that sees him|is the person he's coming after.
No, that's not necessarily true.
We all saw him last time|and nothing happened.
That's because|we were protecting the guy who was next on his list,|who incidentally, he got.
You're right,|but if he really wanted me, he could have taken me|right then and there, right? Okay, you have a point.
So maybe I just thought I saw him.
Maybe I'm doing what I usually do|around this point in my life.
Okay, you lost me.
We're demon-light,|the boys are happy and healthy, Leo and I are doing fine,|so maybe I'm doing what I always do when everything|is going well in my life.
I'm waiting|for the other shoe to drop.
That would be like the Manolo Blahnik|of shoe-drops, okay? I'm cancelling my lunch date.
- No, no, no, you're not.
|- Yes, I am.
No, you can't use my neurosis|to justify your own.
You're just looking for an excuse|to get out of the date.
I am not,|and that's besides the point.
No, that's exactly the point.
Now, Henry asked you out|and you said yes, so you're going.
I don't want to.
|I don't even like him that way.
Which is clearly why you said yes.
So you're gonna go|and if I see Death, I'll call you.
Fine, but if he gets you,|I am never talking to you again.
This is taking a really long time.
He'll show.
Maybe you were a little too cryptic|with your clues.
Well, I couldn't exactly tell the entire|underworld that I'm a witch, okay? If this doesn't flush him out,|nothing will.
You're getting a call? Here? Yeah, great reception, huh? Hey, Piper, can I call you back? Yeah, sure, no problem.
I was just, you know, calling to see|how you're doing, if you're okay.
- That's all.
|- Why wouldn't I be? No reason, just checking.
- Piper, what's going on?|- Hello, demon.
Wait, what, demon? What demon? We're trying to lure out the demon|that took Billie's sister and find out what happened to her.
Well, no, no, no.
You can't do that right now.
Why, Piper, what's happening? - Phoebe.
|- Would you? Well, see, the thing is, I may have seen|the Angel of Death today.
What? When?|Oh, my God, are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just, you know,|I'm calling to - Have you seen him?|- Who, Death? No.
Okay, well, that's good, that's good.
- Maybe you shouldn't|- He's here.
Gotta go, gotta go.
You the one|that's been asking about me? Maybe.
Are you the one that|took that little girl 15 years ago? Her name's Christy, I think.
Nobody's supposed to know|about that.
- Well, the demon that hired you does.
|- Yes, but how do you know? And why do you care? Let's just say it's personal.
Really? Billie.
Nice try, witch.
Billie, are you okay? No, I'm not okay.
|I just lost the only clue to finding her.
So do you have|any brothers or sisters? No.
Well, not that I know of.
|My parents were foster parents, so That's right.
Do you ever wonder? Wonder who my parents are? - Yeah.
|- No.
What happened happened, right? Nothing I can do about it.
|I don't look back.
I tell my parolees that too.
Don't look back,|there's nothing you can do about it.
That's actually very good advice.
- You have a great smile.
|- Thank you.
So do you.
Thank you.
- Can I take this?|- Oh, sorry, we didn't even look yet.
- Okay, take your time.
|- Thanks.
- Actually, I should probably be going.
|- Me too.
Had a great time though.
I did also.
Your half is 14.
50.
I gotta get some change.
- Hello.
|- Hey, are you all right? No, I'm not.
What do you mean?|Did you see Death? No, just saw a cad.
Nothing fatal though.
I have no idea|what you're talking about.
No, don't worry about it.
Did you see him again? Well, no, but Phoebe|is out fighting demons.
So, what's new? What's new is she shouldn't be|doing that with, you know, the Angel of Death lurking about.
Fair enough, okay.
- I'm on my way home.
|- Okay, but are you driving? - Be careful driving.
|- Yeah, okay, bye.
I got 15.
Yeah, guess what, I got 20.
|Keep the change.
Leo? Leo? Right here.
What are you doing under there?|Get out, get out, get out.
- What's the matter?|- What do you mean? What if it fell? You could be crushed,|you could be killed.
Don't be silly, it's up on jacks.
So? You never know.
- You worry too much, you know that?|- Well, what else is new? Come on, I know what I'm doing.
|Nothing's gonna happen to me.
What's the matter? Talk to me.
- Nothing, it's silly.
|- Not if it's bothering you, it's not.
I've learned by now that,|if you're worrying about something, then there's usually|a good reason for it.
- Great.
|- You don't do well by worrying.
You do well by doing,|that's your process.
Worry first, kick ass later.
You don't do good on your heels.
You like to take control.
- I do, don't I?|- It's when you're at your best.
Right.
I love you.
All right, mister.
I know you're lurking somewhere.
|And if you want something, you need to get your grim-reaping ass|down here or stop bugging me.
There's no need to be rude.
I was only trying to do you a favour.
Favour? Well, I don't want|any favours from you.
Oh, you'll want this one.
You know, my job was so much easier|before I met you and your sisters.
It was so much less complicated.
For what it's worth, I don't think taking people's lives|should be all that easy to do.
It never is.
Still, it's inevitable.
You're not taking me.
You're right, I'm not.
I'm taking Leo.
- What?|- It's curious, I actually feel bad.
No doubt a reflection|about my knowing you.
Don't normally get to know people long|in my line of work, obviously.
You can't have him.
You don't have a choice.
That's why I came earlier.
|I wanted to warn you.
To give you time to prepare.
- To say goodbye.
|- No.
I'm afraid you don't have much time.
- Why?|- I'm not about why or how, Piper.
I'm simply when.
You know that.
It's not right and it's not fair.
Not after everything|we've gone through and everything|we've been promised.
There's a reason for everything,|even this.
You know that too, Piper.
I am sorry.
Hide him from sight|So I might fight Ignore which leaves bereft|My husband from the Angel of Death Leo? - Leo!|- What? - What's the matter?|- Oh, thank God.
What happened? Hello? Okay, okay, hold on a second.
|It's Paige.
- What?|- What? What do you mean, what? Do you have any idea|what is going on down here? Do you? Wait, slow down.
|What's the matter? You are never gonna believe it.
Sorry, excuse me.
Piper, I know the spell didn't work out|like you wanted it to, but at least it bought us|some time, right? Yeah, but the Angel of Death|is still after him.
- It's only a matter of time.
|- But time is on our side.
I mean, now that the whole town|looks like Leo, Death has gotta be confused.
We can use the confusion|to our advantage, until we can figure out|how to really save Leo.
And how exactly|are we gonna do that? I mean, we can't watch him, we can't protect him 24 hours a day,|he wouldn't let us.
And besides, he could fall|in the shower or trip down the stairs.
It could be anything.
We'll find a way.
Where's Billie? She's upstairs, trying to find|the demon who took her demon.
Why don't you go|keep an eye on her, make sure|she doesn't get herself killed? - Wait, are you sure?|- Yeah.
We don't need the Angel of Death|looking for two people in this house.
Okay, I'll be upstairs if you need me.
We're gonna figure out|how to save him.
Save who? What? Well, it's about time.
You Painful, isn't it? You It was so simple.
Any lower-level demon|could understand.
Do what you're hired to do,|then disappear.
But you didn't do that, did you? Somebody was asking questions,|nosing around.
I had to cover my tracks.
No, covering tracks|is what I do, Reinhardt.
You just had to shut up.
I'm curious.
Do you have any idea|who it was that was asking questions? - No.
|- A witch.
One who also happens to be the sister|of that girl you kidnapped, lo those many years ago.
- So?|- So, she tricked you.
Tried to get you to talk.
Yeah, but I didn't say anything.
Only because I stopped you first,|because that's what I'm hired to do.
What are these? Living trophies.
Others who didn't do|as they were told.
You see, this goes beyond you, or me,|or even that little girl you took.
There's a far more powerful force|at work here.
One that doesn't|wanna be found out.
Hey, hi.
Okay, okay.
|This is good news.
I found him.
Supposedly, his name is Burke,|he's some demonic bounty hunter, but the good news is|he gets to keep his prey.
So if we found him,|we would be able to Phoebe?|Hello, are you listening to me? Yeah, I'm sorry.
It's just Leo's in|a lot of trouble right now.
What, why? Well, it's a long story, but basically,|the Angel of Death is after him.
Are you telling me|the Angel of Death really exists? Yes, unfortunately.
Piper and Paige are downstairs trying to figure out a way|to keep him from getting to Leo, and Piper sent me up here|to help you.
Okay, well, good.
I mean, hopefully,|we can find Burke really fast.
- I have a spell right here|- Billie, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, but I just don't think|that I can do this right now.
Look, I know, I haven't known Leo|as long as you, Phoebe, but I care about him a lot too.
|I mean, he's practically family to me.
Yeah, but he is my family.
Like my sister is to me.
Yeah.
I know.
Look, Billie, I'm really sorry,|I'm just torn.
You know, I wanna help you,|I really do, but I feel like|I should be helping Leo right now.
Well, then, you stay here|and I'm gonna go, because I have to find out|what happened to her.
Billie Why didn't you tell me?|You don't think I have a right to know? No, you do, I just|I didn't know how to tell you.
I can't believe|this is happening, you know? I can't believe that I'm You're not going to, okay?|I won't let it happen.
How, huh? By hexing every man|so he looks like me? - It's not gonna stop him.
|- No, okay, that wasn't the plan.
It's not what I meant to do, all right?|I'm scared too.
Okay, look, honey, I'm sorry.
|Okay, I just I don't know what to feel,|I don't know what to do.
Then don't do anything,|just let us figure it out.
How, huh? I'm mortal.
I've been given a death sentence|by the one guy who means it.
You know, there's just|so much that I still wanna do and I don't know where to start.
I know, but listen.
Okay, you just need to stay here,|you just need to stay put and Well, what about the boys?|What about Chris and Wyatt? - I gotta go see Wyatt.
L|- No, no, it's not it's not safe.
How am I supposed|to tell him, huh? How do I tell him that? Okay, listen.
You just gotta trust me, okay? I mean, we're gonna fix this.
|We will.
But until we do,|you just have to stay here.
We mean it.
Do you understand? I trust you said your goodbyes.
I'm not gonna let you do this.
Piper, we've been through this already.
|Now, where's Leo? I'll get it.
Oh, hi.
Do you mind|just putting it on the table? Here are the shirts.
You're lucky|we had them ready when you called.
Hi, okay, let me show you|to the grandfather clock.
- Thanks.
|- What's the meaning of this? What can I tell you?|I run a very busy household.
And you are? I thought we should talk,|after what happened at lunch.
Henry? All right, thanks, huh? I told you, I'm not going to|let you take my husband.
You've obviously no idea|who you're dealing with.
You seem to have|a faulty receiver, ma'am.
I'm gonna have to go|get some tools.
Okay, well, please, hurry back,|I don't want it to get any worse.
I know what I'm doing.
Magic won't protect him|for long, you know? I'll find him.
I always do.
Well, you know, Henry,|I'm just a little weirded-out right now.
- But why?|- Well, Henry, the thing is, there are just|too many reasons to go into.
More secrets, huh? I wanna know what went on at lunch.
|Everything was going fine Yeah, well, you know,|I promise we will talk about that.
However, right now,|you're obviously a bit upset, and frankly, not yourself.
Fine.
Hey, you know,|the meter's running, pal.
Take a break.
Fine by me.
- Who are you?|- If you can see me, then you know.
It wasn't easy finding you.
Although I must admit,|I did rather enjoy the challenge.
- Please, I|- Don't bother.
Trust me, I've heard it all before.
But I don't understand why.
I mean, my first life|ended prematurely.
And I gave up being a whitelighter|and an Elder so I can live again.
So I can love again.
You're telling me that|that can't happen now? All life ends, Leo, sooner or later.
Well, can I at least|see my son again? I mean, here's the thing.
We should have hope|that it's not all that bad, right? I mean, look around.
These guys are back to normal|and the spell obviously wore off.
- Hi, I'm looking for my husband?|- Ma'am, if you'll just wait.
No, his name is Leo Wyatt.
They called and said|he was in some car crash.
- I just need to know|- Just a moment, please.
No, actually, I need to know|where my husband is right now.
- Did you say his name was Leo?|- Have you seen him? - I'm one of the doctors on his case.
|- Case? What do you mean, case? Your husband was admitted|about a half hour ago, but we've managed to stabilize him.
Okay, so that's good, right? Yes, that's good, but we really won't know the extent|of his injuries until we operate.
- We're prepping him for surgery now.
|- Surgery? Yeah, it's called|an exploratory laparotomy.
To find out whether or not|his internal bleeding is from a splenic laceration or a tear|in one of his kidneys or aorta.
Okay, wait, slow down, in English.
Is it life-threatening? Yes, it is.
I can't believe this is happening.
We're doing everything we can,|I promise you.
I can't do this,|I can't handle this right now.
Please try to be positive.
What are you doing? I can't do this.
|This can't be happening.
Well, you can't freeze|this problem forever, Piper.
I'm sorry, but you can't.
Can I see my husband, please? - Hey.
|- What happened? You're in the hospital.
You had an accident,|but you're gonna be okay.
You've always been a bad liar.
They're gonna take you in|for surgery soon.
But I'll be waiting for you|when you come out.
- Tell the boys|- No, stop it.
You can tell them everything,|once you get out of here.
We're gonna beat this, Leo,|just like we always do.
- Piper|- No, listen to me.
You can't give up.
|You gotta fight this.
I can't do this by myself.
Ma'am, we're ready for surgery.
Don't give up.
I love you.
You too.
How's he doing? Look, you know, I've been thinking.
- Something is not right about this.
|- Paige No, I'm serious.
Look, Piper,|things like this don't happen to us.
I mean, what if this|isn't just an accident? What if there's something|demonic behind it? What are you talking about? Angel of Death told you|Leo was supposed to die, which means we were way past|random chance when the truck hit him.
You're grasping at straws.
Maybe, but according|to that cop over there, they have the driver in custody, which means this could very well|not be an accident after all.
How does that help Leo? If there's something magical|going on here, maybe something magical can fix it.
Okay, see what you can do.
- Where are you going?|- To cheat Death.
Usually, I charge admission.
That demon was mine.
"Was" being the operative word.
I'm afraid the one who hired me|isn't ready for you to discover the truth.
Yeah, and who might that be? Wouldn't you like to know? Perhaps, then you could get|some answers about your sister.
My sister? How did you know? I always wanted a witch for a trophy.
- Thought you could use a little backup.
|- Oh, thanks.
- What about Leo?|- Piper will call if she needs me.
What's this guy's deal? Well, someone hired him|to take out Reinhardt, the same someone|who knows about my sister.
What do you say|we get some answers? What do you want from me? I've already told you,|there's nothing I can do.
It's Leo's time.
I'll get Wyatt to heal him somehow.
|He's not dead yet.
No, but he soon will be.
You said there was a reason|behind this.
There's a reason behind everything.
That's why it's called|the grand design.
But specifically this.
You made a point of telling me|that there was a reason.
Just like you made a point|of warning me it was going to happen|in the first place.
Right.
I'm not asking you to save Leo,|because I know you can't.
I'm just asking you|to tell me who can.
I need to know why this is happening,|especially if it was not an accident.
I'll pull every connection I have if you just point me|in the right direction.
You know, I could get|in a great deal of trouble for this.
I don't know what the greater reason is,|but I do know there is one.
Perhaps you should speak|to those who know more about the grand design than I do.
Thank you.
An avatar?|What are you trying to do? I'm trying to save my husband's life,|any way I can.
The very fact that you dare put me|in a room with an avatar Shows the open-minded view|she is capable of having.
Says the one whose single-minded|beliefs nearly destroyed us all.
Listen, I'm only interested|in talking about Leo right now, and I have it on very good authority|that one or both of you can tell me why this is happening.
So I'm listening.
I don't know|what you're talking about.
You know exactly|what I'm talking about.
Look, I don't care how it happens, I don't care who does it, but one of you is going to save Leo,|because both of you owe him.
Are you telling me|that you won't heal Leo? Or you, that you don't have|the power to fix this? Well, somebody say something! It's not that we won't, Piper.
We can't.
Using our powers to save Leo It's a path that neither Elder|nor avatar can travel.
Hang on a second.
Are you telling me that the first time|you two agree on anything is when you decide|to let my husband die? - I don't think so.
|- I'm sorry.
No, you listen to me.
Leo, at one point in his life,|believed in both of your causes.
He devoted his life,|at the expense of his family, to those beliefs.
And you're telling me|that you won't save that life? Why the hell can't you tell me|what's going on? What is your big secret? We don't have the authority|to share that information.
Fine.
Well, if you don't,|then who does? You might wanna think twice|before going there.
Going where? You're going to need your sisters.
- Hi.
|- Hi.
Sorry, I left without talking before.
I can't talk now, so - Well, that's not what I came for.
|- Why are you here? - I need help.
It's about my brother-in|- Hold it.
You can't storm out on lunch|and shine me on, then show up here|like nothing happened.
- I didn't|- Let's talk about why you're upset.
Okay.
Here's the thing.
I have no issue, you know,|going Dutch with guys.
I do it, you know, a lot, totally fine.
But I guess, I just kind of feel,|hey, maybe it's old-fashioned that when someone specifically|asks me out on a date, that maybe - Who did that?|- You did.
- L No.
|- Yeah.
You said, "Would you like|to go for lunch on a date?" I said, "Would you like|to go for lunch at Nate's?" Okay, that's really embarrassing.
The embarrassing part of the story|is that I did want to make it a date.
And I didn't ask you because|I was scared you were gonna say no.
Misunderstandings.
- So, what can I do for you, Paige?|- Here's the thing.
I need to speak to somebody in jail.
The catch is|it has to be completely private, and you can't ask me why.
How exactly|is this gonna help Leo again? Henry, please stop fishing.
What's going on?|Who's she, my PD? Thanks, Jack.
All right, no one's on the other side,|the cameras are off, he's all yours.
Thank you.
Hope you know what you're doing.
Yeah, hey, I hope you know|what you're doing too, lady.
I mean, you're a great-looking lawyer|and all, but I gotta get out of here.
- I'm not a lawyer.
|- Oh, no? Then what are you? Actually, I'm a witch.
What the hell? Where are we? How did we get here?|What the hell was that? Truth potion, Lenny.
You're gonna tell me what's going on|and who is behind this.
Behind what? Hey.
Hey, I feel pretty good.
- What was that stuff?|- Never mind.
The truth, now.
All right, okay.
The truth is I don't really have|a license to drive a tow, I forged it.
I'm not really from Jersey,|I'm from Kansas.
- What?|- I took the gig to pay back the bookie.
I didn't really lose the money, I stole it.
|That's after I slept with his wife.
No, tell me about the accident.
Which demon is behind this? Demons? You wanna talk demons? - Yeah.
|- All right.
I stole from the collection plate, promised to return the money|and gambled it away.
Well, actually, I rigged the game|and made some dough, and then I lost it putting|on a pick at the track.
Paige, what are you doing? This is the guy|who crashed into Leo.
Although I'm beginning to think|it really was an accident.
It wasn't.
Get rid of him.
Now, I wonder what would happen|if I put this right here.
No.
Don't.
Just put it down, please.
It'll kill me, I swear.
Oh, you might wanna keep|that in mind.
So I guess that means|you value your life.
Enough to start answering|some questions? I already told you,|I don't know anything.
- I just do as I'm told.
|- You're lying.
You knew who I was,|you know about my sister.
Now, tell us who hired you,|or you're dead.
What? You know, a phone call|would have done the trick.
- We're running out of time.
|- And so is Leo.
Wait a minute.
Are we sure|we know what we're doing here? Phoebe? Piper, I would do anything to save Leo,|you know that, but this is freaking me out a little bit.
I mean, has anyone|ever done this before? Well, we met|the Angel of Destiny before.
I know, but we've never|summoned him.
He came to us, okay?|I'm just saying.
Phoebe, I can't lose Leo.
I won't.
Power of three, we summon thee And call to us the Angel of Destiny Who are you to summon me? You don't look like the one|we've met before.
There are many destinies|and many angels.
- Do you know why we called you?|- Yes.
But there's nothing I can do for you.
|This is Leo's destiny.
Why? Who says? - Who do you think?|- Don't go there.
Listen, lady, I've jumped|through a lot of hoops to get you here, and I want some answers,|and I mean fast.
Easy, Piper.
This was not any random accident.
There's more to it than that|and I want to know what.
Who says there's more? The Angel of Death.
- And an Elder.
|- And an avatar.
Looks like I'm going to have|to have a little chat with them.
First, you're gonna have|to have a little chat with me.
Now, I don't understand this whole|grand design thing, nor do I want to.
But if your only concern|is where we end up, isn't it up to us, with free will and all,|how we get there? Go on.
Just explain to me why Leo|is destined to die right now.
What does it mean|for the whole big picture? Because maybe there is a way for us|to get there that he doesn't have to die.
You have to give us a chance.
|You at least owe us that.
There's one more battle|on the horizon for you three.
One unlike you've ever faced before.
One you won't see coming|and one you may not survive.
What does that|have to do with Leo? The loss.
The pain will motivate you,|all of you, to fight, without which|you will have no chance to prevail.
Won't you please try to let us|find a way to do this without Leo dying? What exactly do you have in mind? My sister, is she alive or not? All right.
All right, I'll talk.
Billie, wait.
What are you guys doing here?|Who's that? Someone that can save Leo.
But we're gonna need his help.
We don't have a lot of time.
Leo is about to die any second and this was the only way|we could think of to save him.
How? By doing to Leo what he does|to his trophies, freezing them.
But that's only if|I agree to help, right? I mean, blondie here|knows how to torture all right, but she can't freeze anyone.
What's your point?|What do you want? It's a little thing called amnesty.
You don't come after me,|you don't touch me.
I'm completely free.
And I don't have to talk to you|or anyone else about her sister.
No, no, no, you can't do this.
- He knows something.
|- I know, sweetie, I know.
And I swear, we'll find your sister,|I promise.
But this is Leo's only hope.
Okay.
Deal? Go ahead.
What's going on? Where am I? It doesn't matter.
All that matters|is you're gonna be safe.
What do you mean?|What's going on? Remember when I told you|you just had to trust me? This is the only way.
The only way? Piper I have to lose you to save you.
It's just our screwed-up destiny and you kind of got caught|in the middle.
I'm so sorry.
It's all right, I We've been through worse.
No.
We haven't.
We're gonna get through this.
Of course we will.
It's time.
I love you.
I love you too.
You will find your sister, Billie.
It's your destiny.
If you prevail, he will be returned.
If not Let's go home.
Wait.
No.
I did what you asked, didn't I? I kept her from finding out|about her sister.
