"My assassin failed." "The witch is alive." "Yes, I know." "You told me her future was short-lived." "You told me" "I told you only that it appeared to be short-lived." "Seeing into the future is not always exact, especially when magical forces are at play." "The power of three is strong." "She'll be almost untouchable now that she's united with her new sisters." "Once the bond is formed perhaps." "But it has yet to." "Which means she's vulnerable, easily swayed." "Forty-eight little hours." "The window of opportunity agreed to eons ago by both sides to protect free will." "The great flaw in the grand design." "She hasn't chosen the other side yet." "Well, she's young, confused." "Doesn't know which way to turn." "You must seduce her into using her powers for evil." "Then she will become evil." "And that's even better than killing her." "Which, of course, you could still do." "You need to get close to her." "Read her soul, corrupt it, and she's yours." "And, you." "You need to see the future more clearly, Oracle for your own future." "What the hell?" "Who are you?" "For now, I am you." "Oh, my God, the most horrible thing just happened to me." "I can't explain" "It's okay, honey." "I'm here now." "It's okay." "I don't understand how you can keep healing innocents but you can't figure out a way to heal yourself." "Well, it's kind of hard to heal myself when I'm knocked out." "Leo, how's it possible for an angel to even get knocked out?" "I mean, you are, after all, technically dead." "Three years together, and now you're asking questions?" "Well, I think the more appropriate question is how does a whitelighter get somebody knocked up?" " What's that supposed to mean?" " Well, what do you think it means?" "If this is about Paige, I swear the Elders had no idea that she even existed." "Or that she was your sister." " Sister witch." " Half witch, half whitelighter." "Let's not forget that little surprise." "I still can't believe that Mom kept that a secret from us." "Well, it sounded like she didn't have much of a choice." "We're her daughters." "She could have found a way to share that information with us." "That better not be another long-lost relative." " Hi, Piper." " Hi there." " Where's Cortez?" " Who?" "Inspector Cortez, the one I hit over the head." "The one you said you would take care of." "He's missing." "Police inspectors are not supposed to be missing." "Where is he?" " Well, I kind of sent him to" " Timbuktu." "It rhymed with "undo."" "Timbuktu." " It's okay." "Cole went to get him." " Cole?" " Cole." " Wait." "Damn bounty hunters." "They're like gnats." "Where's the inspector?" "Don't worry, I found him." "Moved him to a place he can't tell a soul what he saw." "Literally." "What do you mean?" "Where did you put him?" "In the basement?" "No, I think he means a little bit further down than that." "Cole, he's a cop." "He's one of the good guys." "He's also the one who can expose them as witches." "I'd think that you, above anybody, would want to avoid that at all costs." "Not at that cost." "We have to save him." "Save him?" "What do you mean, save him?" "What--?" "What's going on?" "You know what?" "We are gonna take care of this whole mess." " Wait a sec, hold" " You don't worry about it." "All right." "Okay, maybe you can talk to the inspector, reason with him." "And what if he can't?" "What if you two get exposed?" "What's to say the same thing won't happen to you that happened to Prue?" "Well, it's a risk we'll have to take." "You know what, there's another risk you guys have to worry about." "On the way back, I heard gargoyles." "Gargoyles?" "You mean, like, statues?" "That's only in their resting state." "They come alive to ward off evil." "In this case, I think they're trying to ward off The Source." "I think he's surfaced." "Wait, what?" "He's here?" "Now?" "Where?" "I don't know." "Could be anywhere." "Or anyone." "He probably came for Paige." "But she doesn't stand a chance against him." "She doesn't even know what her power is yet." "Leo, we don't stand a chance against him." "Not without Prue." "But you might with Paige." "The new power of three." "Can you sense her?" "I don't think so." "She's too new." "Well, then we just have to start with the church Mom was talking about." " Piper" " What?" "Phoebe," "I'm not crazy about it either, but we can't just do nothing." "Not now." "Mom wouldn't want us to." "And neither would Prue." "Oscar, what's the matter, sweetheart?" "It's okay, I'm home." "Maybe he doesn't like me." "Don't be ridiculous." "He's always liked you." "Well, aren't you gonna tell me what happened last night?" "No, it's nothing." "Seemed like something to me." "You were pretty scared." "Let's just say that when I wanted to find out who I was," "I didn't want to find out I was a freak." " Can we just talk about this later?" " Of course." "Hey  I never got a chance to thank you for taking such good care of me." "Oscar." "Listen, I should get to work anyway." "I'm in enough trouble with the boss as it is." "Well, I know how badly you want to be there for that placement hearing." " How did you know about that?" " Well, you told me, remember?" "Little boy, abusive dad." "You said nothing gets under your skin more than that." "Right, okay." "Make yourself at home." "Stop by for lunch if you feel up to it." "Count on it." "Help me!" "You." "Stay away from me!" " Stay away!" " We're here to save you." " You're the one who put me here!" " No, no." "Actually, that was just me." "Hoping you'd change your mind about the girls." "Have you?" "Killing me is the only way to keep me from trying to stop you!" "We're not gonna kill you, inspector." "But what you don't understand is that by exposing the girls, you're not stopping evil, you're helping it." "Oh, yeah, right." "You do understand that if we take him back, it's over." "I'll lose Phoebe." "And you'll lose Piper." " Take my hand." " No." "Take my hand." "Where else can I take you that's worse than this?" " So how's Aunt Julie?" " Much better." " Yeah?" " Thank you, dear, for asking." "Is her hip any better?" "Jake and Carol Grisanti for Mr. Cowan?" "Okay." "I'll let him know you're here." "I'm sorry." "Say that again." "I got distracted." "He'll be with you in a few minutes." "I'm gonna go wash up, all right?" "What do you want?" "Oh, God." "Hey, before you go," " can I ask you a question?" " Sure." "Do you guys still go to that church that Mom and Dad used to go to?" " Yeah, we still go." " Is there still a nun called Sister Agnes there?" " lsn't she the one who found you?" " Yeah, right, the one that found me." " Have you spoken to her?" " No, no, I haven't spoken to her, but something's come up." "I think I should." "Uncle Dave, I gotta go." "I'll call you back, okay?" " Okay, I love you, Paige." " Yeah, I love you too." " Mr. Cowan." " Hey, look, Paige, I got this, okay?" "But you can't let that little boy go home with that jerk." "Paige, number one, you don't know for a fact he's abusing the boy." "And number two, this is none of your business." "You are an assistant, not a social worker." "That's because you're too cheap to make me one." "Phoebe, I think I found the..." "The church." "Phoebe?" "What are you doing in here?" "You remember the time I borrowed this from Prue without asking her?" "Which time?" "When my boyfriend's cat peed on it." "She got so mad, I thought she was gonna have a stroke." "But the funny thing was she got mad at you, because she thought that you were the one that borrowed it." "And you never told her the truth." "She never knew it was really me." "I miss her so much." "I know." "Me too." "I was wondering when you were gonna let go." "I was just" " I was trying to" " Thanks." "stay strong, you know, keep it together for you." "And then I put all my energy into trying to save Paige because I figured only one of us could break down at a time." "Otherwise we'd both be useless." "I'm scared, Piper." "I am really, really scared." "She always took the lead." "She was..." "She was our big sister." "How are we supposed to go on without her?" "How are we supposed to go up against The Source without her?" "I don't know." "But I do know that we can't let the bastard get Paige either." "So no matter what we think or feel, she is our sister." "And sisters protect each other." " What's happening?" " Nothing's been decided." " We're gonna meet again tomorrow." " Tomorrow?" "You can't let him go home with that kid." "I can and I am." "Look, Paige, you weren't in there." "He was very persuasive." "Persuasive?" "What about the police report?" "What about the counsellor's recommendations?" "Look, Paige, I know how you feel about these cases." "But we can't make a decision based on what you think." "We have to base it on fact." "Right now, we don't have enough yet." "I'm sorry." "You got a problem, lady?" "Yeah, I do." "I got a problem with people who hit their kids." " Come on, Jake, let's just go." " Wait, wait." "Listen, I can do whatever the hell I want to and there's nothing you can do to stop me." " Where do you think you're going?" " Church." "Can you give me a hand?" "I think that he must have slipped." "Excuse me?" " Are you Sister Agnes?" " Yes." " And who might you be?" " I'm Paige." "Paige Matthews." "You might not remember me." "I probably changed a little bit since you last saw me on August 2nd, 1 977." "Does that ring any bells?" "Oh, dear Lord." "I was just about your age when they came." "They?" "My mother and my father?" "They came in a swirl of bright white lights, just like angels." "White lights?" "What do you mean?" "Well, that's how they appeared, with you in their arms." "I was stunned." "I didn't know what to think." "They said you were in great danger." "That they had no other choice but to give you up to protect you." " Danger?" "What kind of danger?" " Well, they didn't say." "But I could tell from their pain that it must be very real." "They asked me to find you a good home, a safe home, and to keep their secret until you came looking." "But how could they know?" "Because you come from them, my dear." "As wonderful and precious as your adoptive parents were to you you still come from angels." "They asked me to save this for you for this day." "It's what they bundled you up in." "Your mother had only one request:" "That your name begin with a P." " Yes, may I help you?" " Hi." "Hey, what's up?" "We need to get you out of here." "What did you do to her?" "Oh, she just froze her." "She'll be fine." "Yeah, lucky I didn't blow her up." "My powers have been a little off lately." "Piper." " Is that our blanket?" " No, that's mine." " Leave me alone." " All right, jeez." "Paige." "Paige." "Paige." " Stop, or I'll freeze." " She's a witch, you can't freeze her." " She doesn't know that." " Will you please just leave me alone." "Look, we know what you're going through." "We went through the same thing when we first found out we were witches too." "Look, you just gotta trust us." "Somebody very, very bad is after you." "Trust you?" "You just froze a nun." "How do I know you're not the bad ones?" " Well, if we are, then you are, sister." " Piper." "What?" "Fine, then you try." "You have a magical power, you know." "At least, if you're really a Charmed One, you do." "And the sooner you learn it, the sooner you'll be able to protect yourself." " I have a power?" " According to the prophecy, the third sister has the power to move things with her mind." "Like Prue could." " How does it work?" " You concentrate on an object," "like that candle right there." "And then you just wave your arm at it." "Or you could squint your eyes." "She used to squint her eyes." "Maybe I'm not one of you after all if I can't even make that candle" "So perhaps the whitelighter in her makes it work differently?" "Half-breed." "She better be here, Oracle." " I'm running out of time." " She is." "Don't worry." "No!" "What is that?" "I don't know." " Paige." " Shane?" "What's the matter?" "My God, what happened?" "I don't know." "Something's after me." " Paige." " Paige." " Come on, let's get out of here." " Paige, come back!" " What the hell was that?" " Good question." "Look, we didn't have to bring you back, you know." "We could have just let you rot." " Cole, I don't think this is helping any." " Like your way is." "Cortez, where you been?" " Operations." " This is Inspector Cortez." "I need a surveillance team, round the clock." " I'll take one shift." " What are you doing?" "What I said I'd do before you clipped me from behind." "You're making a big mistake, inspector." "You have no idea what you're doing." " You wanna bet?" " Something's wrong." "Piper's calling." "Just so you know, whatever pain you put Phoebe through because of what you're doing will be nothing compared to the pain I put you through." "You understand?" "Cortez, you there?" "What's the address?" "1 329 Prescott Street." "Phoebe and Piper Halliwell." "They're murder suspects." " Yeah, all right." " All right." "Come on." "Come on." " I got four guys who can do it." " Yeah, thanks." " Hey, listen, Cortez." " Let go of me." "You make me sick." "How long have you been covering up for them, huh?" "How many other murders have you ignored just to protect them?" "You're a disgrace to that shield, my friend." "You think this is the first time I have risked my career for those girls?" "My life, my family?" "They're the best people I've ever met." "They'll do more good than you'll ever know." " And it cost them their sister." " Hey, hey, inspector, ease up." " You all right?" " I'm good, I'm good." "Yeah." "So The Source was there at the church?" "Well, the gargoyles weren't exactly whistling "Dixie," Leo." "Plus, something pretty powerful knocked us on our asses." "But if he was there, why didn't he try to kill Paige?" "Maybe he didn't want to go up against the Charmed Ones." "No, it doesn't make sense." "He knows that Paige is new to her powers." "If ever there was a time to attack..." "Wait a minute." "What if he's not trying to kill her anymore?" "What if he's trying to lure her to his side?" "Translation, please?" " The mythological window." " There's a window of opportunity," " an opening." " Forty-eight hours." "Right, 48 hours where a nascent witch who hasn't chosen to use her power for good or evil yet can be swayed either way." "Wait, so all he has to do is cast a spell on her?" "No, he can't." "It has to be her choice, but he can tempt her, entice her." "If he gets her to use her powers for evil" "She becomes evil forever." "Who makes up these cockamamie rules?" "Oh, never mind." "Okay, so we have less than 24 hours to get to Paige and no idea how to find her." "But I'll bet The Source does." "Here." "Thanks." "I'm so sorry to involve you in all this." "All of what?" "Paige what's going on?" "I don't know." "I'm so confused." "I don't know what to do." "Hey." "You don't have to know." "You're safe here with me." "I'll take care of you." "Sure you don't want me to turn Belthazor loose on Cortez, just for a minute or two?" "No." "He doesn't have anything on the girls yet." "Besides, now is no time to be blurring the line between good and evil." "This is useless." "We're never gonna find Paige without a little help." "Works every time." "Okay, an enchantment spell." "Wait, how is this gonna help us find her?" "Well, maybe it's not to find Paige." "Maybe it's so we can lD The Source." "See the last line?" "It's, "So she can reveal the evil within."" "But that'll only help if we can find him." "Maybe we can." "Or at least, maybe you can." "What does he mean?" "Demons can sense The Source's aura." "It's how he reminds us of his power, his reach." "Maybe if I focused on it" "Then he'll know you're doing it, and he'll find you." "Not if I was careful." "It's your only chance at saving your sister." "Okay, so we need something to enchant." "Right." " How about these?" " Oh, Phoebe." " What?" "They're perfect." " All right." "Magic forces, far and wide Enchant these so those can't hide" "Allow this witch to use their ends So she can reveal the evil within" "Okay, better test them." " Well?" " Nothing." "You look the same." "How about me?" "What?" "What do I look like?" "You look like hell." "Enchanting." "Thanks for the magical assist, Grams." "How do you know it wasn't somebody else?" "You know who you are now, Paige." "This is where your destiny lies." "It lies not with your sister witches." "It's for no one but you." "This is what you've been searching for your whole life." "This is why you have the power." "You can't stop me." "Use your power for your own desires, to seek your own revenge." "Use your power." "Call for his heart." "Call for his life." "Heart." "Jake, what is it?" "No!" "I don't see Paige anywhere." "Are you sure this is the right place, Cole?" "The Source is here." "I can sense it." "Wait, there she is." " What is she doing?" " I don't know, but she's got a black aura around her." " The Source?" " No, it can't be." "If Phoebe saw my demonic self, then she'd see his too." "Yeah, well, whatever it is, it's not good." "Come on." "Jake!" "Jake, what--?" "Paige?" "Paige, it's me, Phoebe." "And Piper." "He's evil." "He's hurting his child." "Someone, hurting" "No, you're being seduced into doing this." "No!" "No, Jake!" "All right, you know what?" "Hi." "Leo, take her, go home." "Go, go, go, go, go, go." "Let's get out of here." "Are you sure you're all right?" "Maybe you better lay back down." "I'm not covering for you anymore, Carol." "You keep your hands off our son." "You two go ahead." "I'm gonna stay behind, make sure The Source doesn't follow you." "Don't die too quickly, traitor." "I want your beloved witch to see your last breath to feel the heartache of loss again." "Oracle, find Paige one last time." "Leo, where's--?" "I'm having a hard time convincing her that she is not evil." " I see that." " Lamp." "Bright side?" "At least she's getting the hang of her new power." "That was Mom's crystal." " Okay, somebody" " Off of me!" "Okay, relax." "Relax." "All right, now what?" "We just better hope there's some kind of Wiccan exorcism in the Book of Shadows, because" " Yeah." "Who are you?" "Piper!" "Piper!" "That's the" " That's the-- Look, look, look, look, look." "I know who that is." "Your powers are strong." "But will they be enough without the power of three?" "Shane, what's going on?" "It's okay, honey." "I'm here now." "Stay away from me." "She still has free will." "You can't force her to choose." "Oh, but she's already chosen." "Haven't you?" "Come with me." "You'll be safe forever, I promise." "Don't listen to him, he's lying." "They only want you for your power." "You don't have to share it." "It's yours." "You've already seen what you can do with it." "You did what nobody else could do." "You nearly saved my son from his father, from all the pain and suffering he's put him through." "Please help me." "Don't let him hurt me anymore." "You're my only hope." "No!" "Help me!" "Phoebe?" "Okay, come on, come on." "I guess blood's a little thicker than evil." "I've broken the Charmed circle before." "I'll do it again." "Besides, it wasn't a complete loss, thanks to Belthazor." " What did you do to him?" " Oh, my God." "Inspector, would you get out of here?" "!" " Looks like evil wins again, huh?" " Not if I can help it." " How'd you do that?" " That's what whitelighters do." "We heal good people." "We have to go find Cole." "Cole?" "Oh, no." "No, no, no." "No, no, no, no, no, no." " Heal him." " You know that it's against the rules." "Leo, screw the rules." "The Elders owe us." "Even if I could, I could only heal his human half, and that wouldn't be enough power to save him." "Aren't I half whitelighter?" "I mean, couldn't I use my half to offset his half?" "It's worth a try." "Take my hand." "Hold your other hand over his wound." "That was good, right?" "That was very good." "Let's just hope it wasn't all for nothing." "Yeah, drive safe." "Thank you." "Thanks, Anna." " Feels good to be here again." " Feels good to be anywhere again." "I will drink to that." " Don't ever scare me like that again." " Promise." "You okay?" "I'm not sure." "Prue?" "Yeah." "We barely got through the funeral, and then everything started to go crazy, and we haven't had a chance to mourn yet." "And that's just not right." "I think we'll have the rest of our lives for that." "I'm still not sure about continuing on with this destiny thing." "I need some time to think about it." "I hope you're okay with that." "Absolutely." "And I hope you're okay with it too." "They may not be, but I am." "So does this mean I get free drinks now?" "I didn't mean it like that." "It's not that I really drink or..." "Okay, I'm just gonna go." "No." "Paige, you belong here." "Remember?" "Are you sure?" "I don't wanna intrude." "Come on." "Come sit right here." "Okay, so maybe Leo and I should go pretend like we've got something better to do." " Good idea." " Yeah." "I won't stay long." "I just wanted to come by and thank you." " For what?" " For what?" "You mean, aside from saving my life?" "I feel like I should bake you a cake or something." "Do you cook?" "No." "No, not really." "So how's Shane?" "He's okay, I guess." "Except for I'm not too sure he wants to see me anymore." " Oh, I'm sorry." " No, I can't say I blame him, you know." "He doesn't know exactly what happened to him, but he knows it's something bad, and he knows it's somehow connected to me." "Yeah, well, you're not truly one of us until you've dated a demon, so welcome to the club." "Can I ask you a question?" "Why did you come to Prue's funeral?" "I mean, you never even met her, right?" "No, I never did." "I don't want this to be taken the wrong way but I just feel like part of me lost her too." "And I just..." "I felt drawn to her, to all you guys." "I guess it was just part of me trying to find out who I was." "Come on." "There's something we need to show you." "Show me what?" "What good magic can do." "Hear these words, hear my cry Spirit from the other side" "Come to me, I summon thee Cross now the great divide" "There's someone here we thought you should meet." "Paige." "Mom?" "Welcome home."
