"Hey." "I, uh, let myself in if that's ok." "Yeah, yeah." "Absolutely." "Sure." "Of course." "Hey." "How are you?" "So, uh, what's goin' on here?" "Just scrambling." "We've been, uh, on quite a roll knockin' off these demons thanks to the avatars." "The avatars?" "Yeah." "They're been great helping us to find these demons." "We can't pick 'em off fast enough." "I guess that's why you haven't returned any of my phone calls." "I'm sorry." "I just assumed that you knew." "Knew what?" "Well, that i'm helping them." "Create utopia." "Right." "Is that a bad thing?" "Look, i thought when we figured out that they didn't kill your parents... look, it doesn't mean that they're still not a threat, paige." "Come on." "It doesn't change the 10 years i spent learning who they really are or why people fought them off for thousands of years before us." "Haven't we been over this?" "Obviously not enough." "Actually, you know what, kyle?" "I think we have." "I am sorry that you don't or won't understand." "But my sisters and i, we actually do..." "Everything." "Everything the avatars have said or done has been totally legit." "They didn't force this on us." "It's something we really want for everybody." "All right." "All right." "So how's this gonna happen, the change, i mean?" "Well, they, uh... they're gonna help us write a spell." "What kind of spell?" "I don't know yet." "You don't know." "They're getting you to remake the freakin' world and you don't know?" "I've been a little busy." "It's kind of a fundamental question to ask, don't you think?" "I think it's more important to get rid of as many demons as possible." "Well, did you at least check with the elders?" "No." "I don't think they would understand." "If you'll excuse me, i have one more demon to go after." "Ok?" "Come on." "Elders, elders, elders." "I beg you, if you can hear me, i can help you stop the avatars." "I still have a vanquishing potion." "Are you an elder?" "Hardly." "Charmed Season 7 Episode 12 "Extreme Makover :" "World Edition"" "Transcript :" "Special thanks to momocougar78." "Synchro :" "Greatouille." "You said something about a vanquishing potion?" "How did you know about that?" "Same way i knew to bring you down here." "We intercepted your little cry for help." "Sorry..." "Zankou." "About the potion..." "It won't kill you..." "Unless you're an avatar." "Which is exactly why i want it." "See, you and i have a lot in common." "We both wish to stop what they're trying to do." "We both desire to keep things as they are, yes?" "In order to do that, we're going to have to work together." "With the avatar's help, the charmed ones are decimating our ranks." "We must stop them before they find us, too." "I'm not helping you hurt the sisters." "I don't want to harm them." "At least not yet." "I mean, uh, we need them to help stop the avatars, right?" "Remind me why i tolerate you again." "Because you're running low on demons?" "Look, i don't know what you guys are getting at, but i think you've got the wrong idea here." "I'm not gonna help you." "I can't." "I won't." "I mean, you're demons." "Yes...yes, we are..." "Which makes us for better or worse fundamental to the grand design." "It keeps things in balance." "It gives the necessary contrast to all that you covet... to all that is good... and therein lies our mutual problem." "You see, without the one, there can't be the other." "Without evil, there can be no good... and that is why i think you want to stop the avatars just as much as i do." "Ok... how?" "Your potion can kill one of them, which might just weaken the rest enough for us to kill them." "The problem is the avatars have insulated themselves now." "Only the sisters can get to them and only you can reach the sisters." "I'm not going after leo again." " Paige will kill me." " He's not the only avatar." "Still, they're never gonna let me use the potion on anyone." "Well, we can help that." "If we work together." "I can't." "You will." "The problem is his powers go beyond the physical." "Zankou has the gift of prescience as well." "He anticipates where we'll be looking for him next." "Yeah, but on the other hand, we've already gotten most of the high-Level demons." "Isn't that enough?" "No." "We shouldn't go through with this until we can find him." "Although we might not have a choice." "The planetary alignment is correct for the change." "The longer we wait" "We still have time." "We must keep looking." "Why?" "You said yourself, "we're not going to be able to knock off all of the demons " beforehand, there will be others."" "But zankou poses a unique threat, one that could bring enough conflict into utopia to undermine it, and he's determined to do everything in his power to stop us." "He's not the only one." "Um, just out of curiosity, the spell that we're gonna cast, what exactly does it do?" "Unless you don't want us to know." "We have nothing to hide, paige." "Then i'm all ears." "The spell will put everyone to sleep, but only for a few hours... just long enough to erase the mind-Set of duality, of good and evil." "To allow the original design, that which every human being has imprinted in their hearts to take hold." "Utopia." "So we go to sleep, too?" "Hello?" "!" "Anybody home?" "!" "Yeah?" "It's about time." "We weren't gone that long." "Besides, we must have vanquished, what, like 6 or 7 upper level demons?" "And a bunch of other disgusting things." " Grimlock eggs." " Disgusting!" "Doesn't matter, 'cause after tomorrow, we won't have to do this anymore." "We're done." "We still have to find zankou first." "What if we can't?" "Then we, unlike the rest of the world, will not be taking a catnap." "Catnap?" "What do you mean?" "A little something they neglected to tell us." "It's just the mechanics of how the spell works, to put people to sleep so that the transformation can occur." "Well, i, for one, am damn well not going to be taking a nap." "Paige, what's going on?" "I want to make sure we've really thought this out." "Well, we've had this conversation about a dozen times." "I mean, there's only so much we can know and the rest is a leap of faith, one i thought we were all ready for." "If it helps, paige, we never intended that you or your sisters would join the others until much later." "Why?" "Because there'll still be straggler demons, the ones that live and walk among us." "Ones you'll nevertheless need to vanquish though, so that conflict doesn't seep back in." "So we still have to fight demons?" "They will be easier to spot while the others are asleep because they won't be." "But it shouldn't take long and then it will be up to you to decide when you're ready to make the change." "You ok with that?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I guess so." "What about zankou?" "I think i know how to find him." "Will you give me a lift?" "I want to make sure i get my last column in." "Last column?" "Well, yeah." "How much advice can a world with no conflict need?" "I may be out of a job." "You ok with that?" "I've got better things to look forward to." "What are we doing here?" "You murderers!" "What is this?" "This is his revenge." "Zankou?" "They were the ones who killed your parents, weren't they, the ones who really did it?" "You owe me for doing something you could never have done without me... and you will repay me by doing something i can't do without you." "Are you leaving us?" "I'm sorry?" "The grass is greener." "Kind of a good-Bye column, isn't it?" "No, not necessarily." "Phoebe, i've been doing this a long time." "I know how to read between the lines." "Come on, talk to me." "Ok, uh, it's just that things change, you know what i mean?" "Life changes." "Don't you like your job anymore?" "Of course i do, elise." "I love my job, you know that." "But... but like i said, things change..." "For the better, though." "You'll see." "No, i don't understand." "Um, ok." "Have you ever gone through a period in your life where all you can think about, all you want to do is just get away from it?" "When i was married to my ex." "James I." "Connors." "What a shmuck." "Ok, and you were able to move on from him, right?" "Rebuild your life, even though at the time, you probably thought you couldn't." "Yeah... ok, well, it's the same thing." "That's what i'm talking about." "One door closes and another one opens." "Sometimes you just have to take that leap of faith." "Phoebe, i don't" "I promise you, elise, this is gonna be great for everyone." "Otherwise, i wouldn't be doing it." "Do what?" "I gotta go." "No." "Wait." "But you" "Thank you, elise." "Thank you for everything you've done for me." "Good-Bye, all of my dear, beautiful friends." "I will see tomorrow when a bright, new sunshiny day begins!" "Michelle, you are the best." "Donald." "Donald, i gotta tell you, you... you are the man!" "Craig, i've... well, we never really liked each other, did we?" "Oh, well, that'll all change." "Until tomorrow, everyone!" "I was thinking if we adjust the tracking spell we used to find the source, it might work on zankou, considering they were working so closely." "Paige?" "Are you listening?" "Yeah, that sounds great." "Well, it would if you were listening to me." "Sorry." "It's just a big change." "I know, and you know what?" "It's ok to be scared." "I'm a little antsy, phoebe's nostalgic, and you're scared." "That's how we do things." "No, i'm not scared." "Fine, maybe a little." "Ok, why?" "Well, because kyle still thinks the avatars are a threat, and he's asking some pretty damn good questions... and you trust him, so you trust those questions." "Exactly." "Ok, I admit it." "I have asked myself those same questions about 100 times, but we have the answers now." "We're not going in blind." "What are we going into?" "Apparently, what we've always wanted for the past 7 years." "We've been saving the world, being told that it's our destiny." "Maybe this is part of our destiny." "Bringing in utopia?" "Putting an end to all this good vs. Evil crap." "I, for one, am tired of sleeping with one eye open wondering which demon is gonna finally get me or one of my sons." "I've wondered the same thing." "Well, you shouldn't have to and neither should phoebe." "It's just kyle." "He has good evidence, and his hunches, they've been right so far." "Ok, but all of these hunches are based on a myopic point of view." "He's been trying to get even with these people his entire life." "The fact that they're innocent is besides the point as far as he's concerned." "I know." "We deserve this opportunity, paige." "We've earned it." "Now let's go find zankou." "You must be very careful with this." "Use it only exactly as i say." "What is it?" "Put simply, paranoia." "A sorcerer once brought down an entire empire with this, just by touching a little witch." "It spread of course, as paranoia is wont to do... and i'm betting it will do the same to the sisters." "I told you, i won't harm them." "I'm not asking you to." "I just want you to make them a little scared, uncertain." "Delusional." "Only long enough for the avatars to be concerned that something is not right, draw them out into the open." "So i can use the potion." "Precisely." "Don't worry." "You'll be immune to its effects since you're not a witch." "How do i know that you're not gonna try and harm them anyway?" "Fireball!" "Go!" "Take it." "It's our last hope." "Hurry!" "How do i reverse its effects?" "I'll be in touch." "You're gonna need an alibi." "Damn!" "Kyle..." "I'm ok." "I'm all right." "Great." "Then maybe you can start explaining what you're doing down here." "What's taking so long?" "He's resisting." "Can you blame me?" "He's not the one we just found in a demon cave." "You think i wanted to be there?" "I think you want to stop the avatars and zankou wants to stop the avatars, so you see the connection there?" "Piper, you can't be serious." "I'm just saying i'd like to know." "He kidnapped me." "Why?" "Because he thinks i can help kill you, that's why." "Don't you mean kill an avatar?" "Same difference." "Ok, what i don't understand is why he would think that you still had a potion?" "I don't know." "You should ask him." "All right, i will." "Well, zankou's not gonna still be there." "He's on the run." "So?" "We found him once before." "I can do it again." "I'm not just gonna sit around and wait for him to attack kyle." "You want to protect him?" "Help the avatars bring in utopia so zankou can't stop it." "He's right, you know." "You don't have to do that." "Just use me as bait." "Wait till he attacks again." "No, what if we're too late next time?" "Well, so you are?" "You don't have to change the whole world just to save me." "Don't we?" "Look, every demon that tries to stop this makes me just want to get through it faster." "Let's just do this." "Paige, look, i don't" "No." "My mind is made up." "Besides, i think it's for the best." "Tell them we're ready." "Uh...i'll go see where phoebe is." "I can't let you do this." "You don't have a choice, honey." "Besides, how bad can a place called utopia be?" "Wait." "I'm sorry." "What was that?" "What?" "You didn't feel that?" "No." "It must have been static electricity." "Don't be so paranoid." "Ok." "Oh!" "God." "So?" "How did it go?" "This better work." "I agree, for both our sakes." "I see the avatar's healed your wound.." "Too bad you didn't use the potion on him right there and then." "None of this would've been necessary." "How do i reverse the paranoia?" "Patience." "All in good time." "Look, i held up my end of the deal." "As have i." "You know, the problem with you humans is your conscience." "You're all always so conflicted." "Demons, on the other hand, don't have such weakness." "It's not weakness." "It's how we stay honest." "It's what helps us choose between good and you." "It also messes with your head, as it is clearly doing right now." "Working with evil... to preserve good?" "You give me a headache." "What do you want, huh?" "What are you doing here?" "I want the potion." "Well, i'm not giving it to you." "I'm not gonna use it, either." "Not until i know the sisters are safe." "Which won't be for a while, i'm afraid." "Not until the full effects of the paranoia take hold." "To that end, i suggest you come with me." "Why?" "We wouldn't want you falling asleep with everyone else, now would we?" "No, you are going to be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back." "Uh, hello?" "What're you doing?" "Oh, you know, just trying to organize some books, just in case." "Now?" "Everybody's waiting for you." "Well, yeah, but i might not have a chance to do this afterwards." "Uh, to do what?" "Well, these are books on demons." "We might not need them if there are no demons." "Oh, what if they come back?" "Then we'll have to have them again." "I better put them all back." "Uh, sweetie, you don't really seem like yourself." "I don't?" "Who am i?" "No, i mean you're stalling." "And you know what?" "It's ok." "We know what we're doing." "We're ready for this." "You sure?" "What if something goes wrong?" "Well, then we'll fix it like we always do." "Come on." "What was that?" " What was what?" " That!" "Well, i don't know." "Why don't you tell me?" "Come on, everybody's waiting." "Yeah, everybody." "Hey, i was just looking for you guys." "Why?" "What's wrong?" "Nothing's wrong, i just wanted to know what happened." "Well, nothing happened." "I think that's the problem, though." "What?" "Are you feeling ok?" "Ow!" "What was that?" "See?" "See what?" "Uh, guys?" "Do you mind?" "Are you ready?" "Yeah, i think so." "Is there something that we should know, that we don't know?" "!" "You know?" "Uh, no, Paige." "Wait, we forgot about zankou!" "What if he attacks?" "That's true." "What if he does attack?" "Oh, maybe we shouldn't do this." "Ok, what is wrong with you guys?" "We discussed this." "You'll still have your powers afterwards." "If zankou attacks, you'll be prepared." "In fact, he'll be more exposed than ever." "Especially as you continue to thin out the demonic ranks." "How do we know you're not lying to us?" "Ok, let's... let's do this." "Very well." "Where'd you come from?" "They're a little nervous." "I understand." "Place your hands on the cartouche." "It's ok." "It has begun." "I mean, is everybody ok?" "Are you sure nobody's hurt?" "The effect was gradual." "They all fell asleep gently and safely." "How do you know that for sure?" "Do you see anybody who's been harmed in any way?" "Well, that doesn't rule out internal injuries." " Piper." " What?" "So everybody's like this everywhere, all around the world?" "All around the world." "What about the airplanes and the helicopters?" "How do we know they landed safely?" "I'm sure the avatars took care of all that." "Relax." "What's gotten into you guys?" "Well, i think we have a little right to be jumpy with everything that's going on, don't you think?" "Perhaps it would help to focus on the straggler demons." "They hide amongst your kind, which means if there are any nearby, they're only pretending to be asleep." "I should've known." "Why don't they just leave?" "Because they've got no place else left to go." "Ah." "Over there." "He moved." "Well, where?" "Which one?" "That one, in the bad suit." "You must be certain." "Ok." "Go be certain." "Paige, look out!" "Well, at least i know i'm not paranoid." "All right, so how long until the transformation's complete?" "2 hours, which means we should get back until it's safe." "Well, i'm not leaving them here alone." "Don't worry, beta." "I'll be fine." "All right, let's split up." "We'll find more demons that way." "Piper and paige, phoebe and me." "Any sign of trouble, we're back to the manor." "Got it?" "Got it." "Why do you think he didn't wanna go with me?" "Do you think he's seeing someone else?" "Come on." "What?" "I don't understand, what are we waiting for?" "That is what we're waiting for." "Your death will not have been in vain, my friend." "I promise you." "What the hell was that all about?" "He saw what i needed to see." "Now i know which avatar we'll be flushing out and you'll be killing." "What?" "How?" "I'm gonna need a volunteer." "Well, does it have to be me?" "No." "Oh, good." "I'll get right on it." "Look, i don't like this." "I don't like being kept in the dark about what's going on." "What are you going to do?" "Not kill an avatar, for one." "Then you'll die." "Yeah, well, better me than the sisters, right?" "How many times do i have to tell you?" "I'm not after them." "Then why won't you tell me what the hell i'm doing down here?" "Well, that's what you get when you make a deal with the devil, so to speak." "I'm not doing anything until i know the sisters are all right." "They're still alive, if that's what you mean." "Their paranoia, growing." "What are we waiting for?" "The opportune time to show yourself." "Which nears." "When?" "When i send one of the sisters to you here." "The one you care so much about." "How does that flush out the avatars?" "I'll just say they wanted you to stay awake, tell her it was the female avatar beta." "Your girlfriend will get so paranoid, she'll demand an explanation." "When the avatar shows up to give her one, that's when you strike with the potion." "Don't miss." "You won't get a second chance." "First, how do i reverse the paranoia?" "You are persistent, aren't you?" "Very well." "You break the crystal." "The sisters will revert immediately." " That's it?" " That's it." "So why didn't you tell me this before?" "Same reason you didn't tell me where the potion was." "Leverage." "Remember..." "Don't miss." "Phoebe, are you sure you're all right?" "Yeah." "I'm fine." "I just" "I have a bad feeling about this." "Well, you've had a bad feeling about everything lately." "Yeah, but i have a really bad feeling about this." "Are you sure we're not being set up?" "Phoebe, not this again." "No." "I'm serious!" "What if the avatars are like the trojan horse?" "Remember the trojan horse?" "Phoebe" "They come into your lives pretending to be the gift, but what they really wanna do is kill you." "Phoebe, this really isn't like you." "Leo, listen to me, ok?" "It's the ultimate conspiracy." "Think about it for" "What was that?" "It was nothing." " Look, you need to calm down." " I'm very calm, ok?" "I just can't help what i'm feeling, and what i'm feeling right now is" "Aah, demons!" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry again." "Why did you run?" "I don't know." "Something's wrong." "I'm getting you out of here." "Haven't seen any demons for a while." "Do you think that means something?" "I don't know." "Do you?" "I don't know." "Why are you stopping?" "What do you see?" "Nothing." "Shh." "Relax." "What if they get us?" "Who is they?" "They!" "They as in them." "The ones who are always trying to get us." " Shh!" "You're making me crazy." " You're making me crazy." "What is wrong with us?" "Ah, sorry." "Are you ok?" "Yes." "But i'm afraid that your friend may not be." "Kyle?" "What's wrong with him?" "We don't know." "All we know is he didn't fall asleep like everyone else did." "What does that mean?" "That means that zankou must've gotten to him again, shielded him from us." "But why?" "Because he thinks he still has the potion." "Damn it." "I should've never left him alone." "Hey!" "You can't leave me here alone!" "Demon!" "What?" "Where?" "Go!" "Get him!" "Kyle?" "Are you here?" "I'm right here." "Are you ok?" "Did he hurt you?" "Did who hurt me?" "Zankou." "Come on, we have to get you out of here." "Wait, wait, wait." "Why?" "Because he thinks you still have the potion." "He'll kill you." "Yeah." "Don't you think he would've killed me by now?" "Well, that's why he's keeping you awake because he thinks you still have it." "He's not the one keeping me awake, paige." "It's the avatars." "It's beta." "Ok." "But she said zankou did it." "Maybe you ought to call her here." "Beta?" "What's the matter?" "Why isn't he asleep?" "You told me zankou did it." "I did not." "Yes, you did." "What the hell is going on?" "What was that?" "I wanted to make sure you were back to normal before I" "Before what?" "Please don't hate me." "I don't hate you." "Of course i don't hate you." "I didn't want it to end like this." "It's not gonna end this way." "I promise." " I'm gonna call for help." " No." "You can't call for leo." "Why?" "Because he's vulnerable." "They all are." "Zankou will kill him." "Why did you do this?" "To stop them." "Leo!" "He can't hear you, Paige." "He's been affected by what's happened." "We all have." "Can't you just rewind time?" "Go back and just fix it?" "I'm sorry, paige." "We've come too far to go back now." "But he's dying." "Yes." "And he's weakened the collective, risked losing all we've worked to create." "The demon will try to take advantage of this to stop us." "But he won't be able to if we consolidate power, complete the transformation." "What the hell are you talking about?" "What about him?" "The needs of the one... must be sacrificed for the good of the many." "You'll understand soon." "I did not sign up for this experiment so you could play god!" "So you fix this right now!" "He's dead." "Please don't go." "We must move quickly." "We can't fight both them and the demon." "What about leo?" "He's one of us now." "He'll understand." "i don't get it." "I don't know what happened." "I mean, one minute i feel like everyone's after me, and the next minute, i feel perfectly fine." "Yeah?" "I don't." "What's the matter?" "What are you feeling?" "I don't know." "All of a sudden, i just feel weaker." "Oh, maybe you should sit... down." "Phoebe." "Phoebe?" "Phoebe, Can you hear me?" "Wake up." "She's just sleeping, leo." "She'll be fine." "They'll all be fine." "What have you done to her?" "The same thing that's been done to everyone else." "But they weren't supposed to turn yet, not until they were ready." "We had no choice." "What do you mean you didn't have a choice?" "You can't do this." "Beta's dead, leo." "What?" "It's why you feel less powerful." "Why we all do." "But how..." "It seems that agent brody had another potion after all." "One that both he and zankou hoped to bring down utopia with before it even began." "But we can't let that happen." "The sooner we complete the transformation, the less chance he has of succeeding." "Which is why we need the power of the charmed ones with us, now more than ever." "I'm sure you understand." "But we were supposed to talk to them first." "Ideally, yes." "But paige... was inconsolable." "Agent brody is dead as well." "We must press on, leo, now..." "Or zankou will win." "All that we've done will have been for naught." "We can still give them the world they've always wanted, leo." "The happiness they've never known." "The happiness you've never known." "But we must move quickly." "And as one." "I just" "I don't see how paige is gonna be happy after what happened." "She'll understand." "Everyone will understand that those who bring conflict into the world cannot be tolerated." "Oh, hey, i'm sorry." "This is my fault." "Forget it." "It's no big deal." "Are you sure?" "Absolutely." "I'm so embarrassed." "I'm so sorry." "I don't know What happened." "You got insurance?" "Yeah." "Then don't worry about it." "Thanks." "Well?" "Utopia has begun." "What's that mean?" "We're screwed?" "The avatars have turned the witches sooner than i anticipated." "We can't change things back without their help." "Well, then, we've got to get out of here." "They'll be coming for us, too." "No." "We have time." "How do you figure?" "It's over, zankou." "We don't stand a chance in this new world." "Still, we planted a seed." "Let's see if it sprouts." "I don't know what you're so worried about." "It's all good as far as i'm concerned." "Yeah, but they were supposed to wait until you were ready." "Well, as you know, i've been more than ready for this for a long time." "Hey!" "I feel great." "Don't you guys feel great?" "Yeah." "Pretty amazing." "I mean it's so weird." "I remember the old way, you know, the demon battling and everything, but i'm just not stressed about it anymore." "Yeah, well, that's because we don't have to worry about demons anymore, which leaves us a little time to... live a little." "Where are the boys?" "Magic school." "Are you sure you're ok with this?" "Leo, of course." "Are you kidding?" "How could we not be?" "Oh, sweetie," "I'm so sorry." "Me, too." "How're you doing?" "You hanging in there?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I'm holding up." "It's, um... pretty damn sad... but he's going on to a better place, right?" "I'm gonna go upstairs and rest."
