TEASER
FADE IN:
INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - FOYER
The front door flies open and two women rush a third one into the house, slamming the door behind them. All three look very familiar to CHARMED fans--they are PRUE Halliwell [30], her sister PIPER Halliwell-Wyatt [28] and their friend and innocent, PAIGE Matthews [23] They stand at the base of the stairs, worry showing on their faces.
PRUE:Paige stops, frowning as she looks towards the stairs, suddenly getting a strange feeling.
Don’t worry, Paige, we’re not going to let anything happen to you.
PAIGE:
I think I’ve been around you guys long enough to know that you’ll take care of things. What I don’t understand is why I’ve suddenly become a target.
PRUE:
Comes with the territory.
PIPER:
We did tell you that knowing our secret and being friends with us could be hazardous to your health.
PRUE:
Not to mention all the good that you’ve been doing. Clearly The Source seems to think you’re enough of a threat to send his personal assassin after you.
PAIGE:
Well isn't that just grea--
PIPER:A TORNADO OF WIND twists through the front door, blasting it open. Prue quickly shoves Paige behind her, protectively as she and Piper look towards the door with dread. The tornado knocks the two of them to the floor, sending the two sisters SAILING. A clap of THUNDER sounds before the tornado calms down, REVEALING SHAX, the personal assassin of The Source of All Evil. Paige takes several fearful steps back.
What?
PAIGE:
I don’t know; I just felt a chill.
PRUE:
You've sensed evil before...Phoebe?
(no answer)
PRUE (cont.):
(a little more worried)
Phoebe? Are you there?
(no answer)
PRUE (cont.):
(now frantic)
Phoebe! Where are you?
PAIGE:Prue gets up off the floor and shoves Paige out of the way just as Shax throws an ENERGY BALL at her. It sends Prue CRASHING literally straight through a wall. Piper pushes herself up. Paige SCREAMS as Shax throws an ENERGY BALL at Piper, sending her CRASHING through the wall as well. Shax then turns to Paige.
Prue?! Piper?!
PRUE:
No!
PAIGE:Shax throws an ENERGY BALL at Paige and sends her CRASHING through a window. Just as Paige goes sailing, a CLOUD OF ORBS appears, forming into LEO Wyatt [76, appears to be 30].
Oh, God...
LEO:He rushes towards them, stumbling over the debris from the smashed walls. Shax tilts his head to the side, watching Leo. A cruel smile twists his face.
Piper! Prue!
Leo holds his hands over Prue and Piper. First his hands and then the girls begin to GLOW GOLDEN, but before he can have a significant effect on them, he doubles over in pain.
LEO:The air near Leo SHIMMERS, forming into a wounded COLE Turner [115, appears to be 35], who is carrying a limp and lifeless-looking PHOEBE Halliwell [25] in his arms.
Phoebe...
COLE:Cole and Leo both realize that Shax is there too late. Shax throws an ENERGY BALL at Leo, sending him CRASHING into a wall to fall limply to the ground. Cole, still holding Phoebe, doesn’t have time to react as the next ENERGY BALL catches him and sends them both CRASHING into a wall.
Leo, it’s...
SHAX:
The end.
The CAMERA focuses on Phoebe’s limp form and Cole who has landed, twisted next to her with one arm draped over her. He tries to lift his head up, pain shining in his eyes but his head drops back down against the debris.
Shax looks around at the damage he has done, pleased. He then turns back into a TORNADO OF WIND and flies out the front door. The glass on the door SMASHES as it slams shut.
BLACKOUT.
Even as the screen remains dark, we hear a familiar voice, that of Drew Fuller. But in this version, he's not playing Christopher Halliwell: BEN (v.o.):
And that was the day that The Source of All Evil claimed a temporary victory and our family took a huge loss.
The CAMERA fades in to show a child's room, the children's room at Halliwell Manor. SUPERIMPOSED near the bottom is "May, 2030".
Seated on the edge of a large bed is Benjamin Coleridge Turner III, otherwise known as BEN [27]. The BOOK OF SHADOWS rests in his lap and it is what he has been referencing for his story.
The listeners to that story are a pair of young girls under the covers of the bed, eagerly looking towards Ben. One of them, Penelope Turner, PENNI [4], clutches a raggedy-looking teddy bear. The other little girl, Patricia Halliwell, PATTI [9], looks towards the door.
We can hear someone walking into the room. Ben looks up and the CAMERA pans to show his cousin, WYATT Halliwell [28]. Wyatt looks tired, but he leans casually in the doorway, looking at his cousin and the two little girls.
BEN:Patti jumps off the bed and runs over and hugs her dad.
Well, there you are.
PATTI:
Hey, Dad. Did you have to use any magic?
WYATT:
No, this time I was able to use my skills as a surgeon; no magic needed, but after five hours, all four of the patients should survive and be as good as new in no time, no problem.
PATTI:Wyatt hugs his daughter back, grinning proudly.
I'm so proud of you. I want to be a doctor, too.
PENNI:Ben closes The Book of Shadows and stands up, reaching to turn off the light to a chorus of complaints from the girls. He shakes his head and smiles, starting towards the door. We see Patti twitch a finger and the light turns back on. Ben turns around, eyebrows raising.
Uncle Wy, Daddy was telling us stories from The Book of Shadows!
WYATT:
I see that. We're the only family on the planet whose history also doubles as entertaining bedtime stories.
(smiles at Ben)
After all, our moms used to read it to us.
BEN:
(ignoring his cousin)
Lights out, girls. Your moms would insist.
PATTI:Ben exchanges a look with his cousin, who smirks, and Ben returns to his seat. He opens The Book of Shadows. He sighs, tired, but completely vulnerable to the girls' pleas for more.
Please, Uncle Ben. You gotta start earlier than that.
PENNI:
Yeah, Daddy, please?
BOTH GIRLS:
Pleeeeeeease!
BEN:Wyatt comes in and stretches out across the foot of the bed, cupping his chin in his hands, looking expectantly at his cousin. Ben raises his eyebrows at him.
What did you mean earlier?
PATTI:
Tell when They let my Grams marry my Gramps.
PENNI:
Yeah, Daddy! That's my favorite!
BEN:The CAMERA focuses on Ben as he flips through the pages.
And what are you doing?
WYATT:
Making myself comfortable. That's my favorite, too, and we're going to be here for a while.
BEN:Wyatt sits up and leans over and flips the page to find one that has several images of different kinds of demons. These are THE DEMONIC COUNCIL.
No, we're not. Their mothers would shoot us if we let them stay up that late, and you know it!
PENNI:
(whining)
But, Daddy, I wanna hear the whole story!
PATTI:
I do, too!
WYATT:Ben gives a huge, heavy sigh and then plops The Book of Shadows on Wyatt's lap.
Just tell the story, Ben. Start with them.
GIRLS:
PLEEEEEEEEEEASE?
BEN:As he gets up and begins walking towards the door, the girls and Wyatt exchange conspiratorial looks. As Ben walks out the door, we can hear him mutter.
You know the story as well as I do. Start telling it while I make popcorn. You're right -- it's going to be a long night.
BEN:As the door shuts behind him, the girls giggle then turn to Wyatt.
But as soon as their mothers gets home...
PATTI:OFF the little girls' surprised faces, we
Okay, tell the story, Dad!
PENNI:
Yes, Uncle Wy, please!
WYATT:
Very well. Let me see. Oh, yeah. That's right. The Demonic Council. Okay, well, The Charmed Ones got their power in 1998, but one could argue that their journey as witches didn't really begin until two years later, when my dad tried to orb my mom Up There.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. CLOUDY, SMEARY PLACE - ETERNAL DAY
We see Piper and Leo looking like they did at the end of CHARMED's Season Two, attempt to ORB Up There, but they don't succeed. They end up in this bright, white, cloudy, smeary place, something like we saw in CHARMED's "3x11: Blinded by the Whitelighter", but it's a room and there is no one around.
A date is SUPERIMPOSED on the bottom of the screen: "May, 2000"
Piper looks around, confused.
PIPERLeo looks around, also confused.
(confused):
This is it?
LEO:We hear a big, deep sonorous VOICE that echoes all over the place.
No, it's not. I don't know where we are...
VOICE:OFF Piper and Leo's look of horror, we
(loud, solemn)
Leo Wyatt, you have violated the most sacred of all rules. You have attempted to bring a still-living being Up Here, and worse, it is one of your charges. You have violated the rules one time too many. You and your charge will be held here until We decide what to do regarding your arrogant disregard of the rules.
PIPER:
My sisters!
LEO:
What about my other charges? They might need me!
VOICE:
You both should have thought of that before you attempted to break this most sacred of rules.
BLACKOUT.
