CHARMED SERIES FINALE SCRIPT



SCRIPT NUMBER 2

AND THEN THERE WERE TWO

Opening scene

(Im not sure when commercial breaks are supposed to appear, or when the theme song will enter the episode in the beginning, so I will not put those in. After the theme song, we will see the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco, leading up to the house and the scene, and music will be playing in the opening as usual. I don’t know where music should be put in, or what music, so I will not write it in.)

Phoebe is in the attic looking through an old trunk. (morning on a weekend) after shuffling through it, she pulls out a video. Upon closer examination, it reads “The girls” Phoebe heads down the stairs with the video in hand. As she heads down the stairs, we see she is about three months pregnant.

Phoebe: Piper?

We hear Piper off screen.

Piper: In the kitchen!

We see Phoebe walks into the kitchen where Piper is drinking coffee.

Phoebe: Hey. Do you remember mom taking any home videos when we were little?

Piper: No, why?

Phoebe: I found this in the attic.

She hands it to Piper.

Piper: hm. I didn’t think mom took any home videos.

Phoebe: We must have been too young to remember.

Phoebe looks up.

Phoebe: where’s Paige?

Piper: Still sleeping.

Paige enters sleepily.

Paige: not anymore. Can’t a girl get some sleep around here?

Piper: What with all the demon hunting around here, are you kidding?

Paige: Demon attack?!

Phoebe: No, this is not about demons. I found this old home video in the attic.

Paige: (clearly relieved) Good. Pass the caffeine. (Piper hands her a cup of coffee, and she drinks some) To Phoebe: And what may I ask, were you doing up there?

Phoebe: just looking around

Piper and Paige give her meaningful looks.

Piper: just looking around,huh.

Phoebe: okay. Remember when we went through all our toys in the attic. Well, I thought with the baby and everything(she gestures towards her stomach.), I should get some of my stuff out of storage. Leo (he’s just getting up) walks in holding Chris, who is now 2, with Wyatt, almost 4, following behind.

Piper: Hello.

She walks up and kisses leo, then hugs wyatt, and talks to baby Chris.

Leo: Hi honey. Hey, where’s Jason?

Phoebe: He’s at work.

Paige: On a Saturday?

Phoebe: Yeah well, he’s still getting used to the idea of all of us living together. Not exactly what he had in mind.

Piper: Yeah well, it wasn’t exactly what you had in mind when he found out you were a witch, now was it? (Leo and the kids head into the parlor as Piper says this)

Phoebe: Yeah, Yeah.

Piper heads into the parlor where Leo and the kids are playing.

Paige: Phoebe, you need to be here, especially with the baby coming. We can provide magical protection.

Phoebe: I know, and that is what I told him. He just needs a little time. Speaking of which, I’m going to have a lot of free time if I don’t get that column to Elise.

She exits to her room.

Paige, alone in the kitchen decides to watch the home video that has been left on the counter. We see her pop the tape in the VCR in the living room, and settle on the couch. Camera cuts to Jason at work, typing on his computer. He is obviously distracted. We see a velvet ring box on his desk. Camera cuts to Paige watching the home video on the couch. It is nearing the end when Piper walks in. She sits on the arm of the couch.

Paige: she’s beautiful. You think you would have met me if Prue were still alive?

We see two girls playing jump rope, and then a girl riding a bike on the screen. It is unmistakably Prue.

Piper: No, I don’t. We only found out about you after she died. You were a secret.

Paige: It shouldn’t have been that way.

Piper: No, you’re right, it shouldn’t have, but I learned a long time ago that there is a reason for everything.

Paige: I wish I could have met her.

Piper and Paige squeeze hands. Piper kisses Paige on the forehead and exits into the parlor.

As Paige heads upstairs, intending to talk to Phoebe, who is in her room working on the column, we hear her say “Maybe I can.” She then heads into the attic.

Camera cuts to Leo, Piper, and the kids in the parlor.

Leo: How’s this for norm—(Piper interjects).

Piper: --Shush. Don’t even say it.

(Leo is giving her a questioning expression.)

Piper: Cuz every time someone says that, something goes wrong.

Leo gets up to go to the kitchen.

Piper yells into the kitchen as he enters it.

Piper: If we have a demon attack, I’m blaming you!

Leo comes back with a glass of orange juice and kisses Piper playfully.

Camera cuts to Paige who is in the attic writing a spell. As she is writing it, we suddenly see a shadow dart across the screen behind her.

Paige: I come to you on bended knee

I beg of you to hear my plea

Into the past let me see

Of before, the sisters three.

As Paige is saying the spell, we see Phoebe answer the phone. She says Hi Jason, before the scene blurs and the camera cuts to downstairs where Piper, Leo, and the kids are suddenly going in slow motion, until they fade. (as before with Phoebe) It appears that everyone is disappearing. We see Paige standing in the attic alone. However, everything looks the same as before, and Paige is confused. She thinks nothing has happened. Paige walks downstairs, wandering through the house. Everything appears to be the same, but so far the house is empty of people. Paige walks into the kitchen, where she sees Piper and another woman. Suddenly, Piper turns on the TV where the news report appears. At the same time that Paige realizes the other woman is Prue, she also realizes that Piper and Prue are on the news. She gasps.( Paige has been taken back to the day that Prue died. episode All Hell Breaks Loose(footage from that episode will be used.) She is seeing the news report of Piper and Prue being exposed as Witches. I’m not sure about the specifics: who turned on the TV, who was on the phone with Morris. Paige has come in when they are just finding out about the news report.)

We see Prue and Piper in the kitchen.

Paige: Prue?

(clearly, Prue and Piper cannot hear or see Paige.)

The scene where Piper and Prue realize what is happening and call leo takes place.

Paige stands looking on wide eyed while all this is happening.

Camera cuts to Piper at present. She is climbing the stairs while calling for Paige.

Piper: Paige? Paige? (she knocks on Phoebe’s door) Phoebe?

Phoebe: Yeah come in.

Piper walks into the room where Phoebe is sitting on her bed typing on her laptop

Piper: Have you seen Paige?

Phoebe: uhuh. I never thought I’d be here without her.

Piper: Prue? (Phoebe nods) She was our sister, life without her didn’t seem possible.

Phoebe: But here we are, five years later.

Piper: With Paige.

Phoebe: Even with everything that happened, I don’t where we’d be without her.

Piper: I’d be a Fury, and you’d be ruling by Cole’s side as queen of the underworld.

Phoebe: Not funny, so not funny. (they laugh)

(Piper sits down on the bed and hugs Phoebe. They sit that way until the camera cuts to Paige.) She is watching Prue and Piper as they talk about what to do. At that moment, Piper suddenly falls. This is the scene where Piper is shot. As Prue is holding Piper and desperately calling for Leo, the camera cuts to Paige, who is obviously distraught.)

Paige: no! Piper! Piper! (Paige is frantically trying to help, knowing she can do nothing, as this is only a memory.)

The camera fades out. We see Piper and Phoebe hugging. Suddenly Piper looks up.]

Piper: Did you hear that? It sounded like Paige. Wait listen. (They sit still for a moment listening and we faintly hear “Piper!”)

Piper gets up and starts calling for Paige.

Piper: Paige?! Paige?!

Phoebe: Paige are you okay?!

Piper: You check downstairs. I’ll check the attic.

We see Piper run up to the attic. As she enters she says “Paige?”

Piper walks into the attic. There is obviously no one there, so she goes over to the book. Phoebe enters.

Phoebe: She’s not downstairs, and obviously she’s not up here. What was that?(Phoebe crosses to Piper)

Piper: I don’t know, but she sounded like she was in trouble.

Phoebe: Piper, did you--

Piper: turn to this page, no. (we see a close up of the book open to the spell)

Phoebe: That doesn’t make any sense, why would she use the spell to call a lost witch? Piper: I’ll try her on her cell. (Piper takes out her cell phone and dials Paige’s number. We hear her voice mail.) She’s not answering. (Piper keeps trying Paige on her cell.)

Suddenly the window blows open, and a piece of paper blows towards Phoebe. She goes to shut the window. As she does, she notices the paper picks it up, and reads it.

Phoebe: Piper, look at this. (Piper reads it.)

Piper: okay, so she’s in the past.

Phoebe: The past of when Prue was alive.

Piper: Leo! Camera fades out

PART TWO

Camera cuts to a dark lair where the source is seated. In front of him is a demon on his knees.

The source: Bring me the sister.

Demon: But source, how am I to get her here. She is a Charmed one.

The Source: Ah, but she is only one. I have devised a plan. Threaten to kill her sisters, and she will come. The other two will come looking for her.

Camera cuts to the scene of All Hell Breaks Loose where Prue is rushing Piper to the emergency room along side the doctor. Camera cuts to Paige.

Paige: Oh my god, Piper!

Suddenly the room freezes, and a demon appears.

Paige: What the hell! Who are you?

Demon: I serve the source.

Paige: ( Paige begins to try and fight him) And I’m gonna serve you with an ass kicking.

Demon: ah, ah, ah. One hair on my head, and she (he points to Piper) dies.

Paige: Nice try, we’re in a memory. You can’t hurt her.

Demon: oh, yes, you’re right about that. I can’t touch her here, but at home. There’s no power of three to protect her there. (Paige is ready to attack) And the other one, I guess the source could kill her too. Care to find out?

He unfreezes the memory and we see Prue in the emergency room with Piper. Piper is dying. (lines go accordingly to what they are in that scene of All Hell Breaks Loose)

Paige: alright. What do you want? (She is distraught)

The demon whisks her away.

Camera cuts to Piper, Phoebe, and Leo in the attic. Piper is scrying, and Phoebe is standing next to Leo pacing.

Phoebe: anything?

Piper: No. I can’t find her anywhere.

Leo: You can’t find her because she’s in the past.

Piper: So how do we find her?

Leo: You said you heard Paige call you. So try to contact her.

Phoebe: How? We don’t know where she is Leo.

Leo: The three of you have a psychic link. Tap into it, and you should be able to talk to her. You just need to focus.

Piper: Okay, but why would she need our help? If she’s in the past, she wouldn’t be able to change anything.

Phoebe: Piper, It’s a setup. Think about it. The video tape I found was just lying in that trunk. Paige has always wanted to meet Prue. And whoever’s behind this, just gave her a little push. He knew she’d write the spell, and then he could intercept it.

Piper: We’d come looking for her, and fall into his trap. End of the power of three.

We suddenly hear “Piper!” again. Phoebe and Piper begin to call for her, in hopes she will hear them.

Phoebe and Piper: Paige! Paige!

Camera cuts to Paige who is in the lair with the demon and the source. The source is on a throne, and Paige and the demon are standing in front of him. We see a close up of Paige.

Paige: Alright, what do you want? If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it already.

The source: But my dear, it isn’t you I want, it’s your sisters. Killing you ends the power of three, but there are still two out there. One who carries a future Halliwell, and a future threat to me. And the eldest, why not kill her too? She’ll thank me, losing two sisters is just too much for her to handle.

Paige: Yeah, well it’s not going to be so easy. Piper! Phoebe! (she begins calling for them in hopes they will hear her)

The source: Stupid witch! (With a wave of his hand, he throws her against a wall, knocking her out)

Camera cuts to Phoebe, Piper, and Leo in the attic.

Phoebe: wait, did you hear that?

Piper: It’s Paige. Paige! Paige, can you hear me?! Damnit!

Piper: Phoebe, get the spell.

Leo: what are you doing?

Phoebe: We’re going to get are sister. She obviously needs our help.

Leo: You can’t just go. You don’t know who’s behind this.

Phoebe: Leo, who has wanted us dead since we became witches. The source is behind this, I know it.

Leo: Alright, but you can’t just go in unprepared. I’m still your whitelighter, and I’m going with you.

Piper: We have the spell, and we need you up here in case we need you to heal someone.

Leo: Piper, I can’t just stay up here, while you battle the source.

Piper: alright, come on.

Jason appears in the attic.

Phoebe: Hi honey. We need you to stay here with the kids. I’ll explain later, but we need to go. I’ll be back as soon as I can, I promise. Love you.

Jason heads downstairs.

Camera cuts to the lair, where Paige is slumped against a wall with her hands changed to it. As Paige comes to, she tries to move, but realizes she is chained up. We hear a distant “Paige! Paige can you hear us? . We’re coming to help you.”

At first Paige resists, starts to tell them no. Clearly, something is wrong with Paige, as they start to read the spell. Suddenly, Piper, Phoebe, and Leo are in the hospital, where they quickly glimpse Prue leaning over Piper’s hospital bed as she dies.

Phoebe: Oh my god!

Piper: It’s the day she died. Suddenly, the hospital room disappears. They look around again, and see Paige chained to the wall.

Phoebe: Oh my god! Paige are you okay? (she leans down and unchains Paige. Paige stands up, where we see her view of the girls, Leo, and the source behind them.)

Paige: It’s a trap.

Piper: We know, come on.

Paige: No.(walks towards the source, clearly brainwashed) It should have been me. Prue is dead so I could become a witch. And now you’re here to save me. He wants to kill you, but I won’t let him. No one else is going to die because of me! I won’t let it happen. I’m so sorry Piper. Goodbye.(Paige is crying)

Piper steps up to Paige. She is also crying.

Piper: Paige, we are your sisters, and we are not going to stand here and let you die! This family needs you!

Phoebe: Paige, this isn’t you! The source has you brainwashed. It was all a setup.

(Phoebe steps up to Piper now and takes her hand)

Leo: It was your destiny to be a witch. Prue didn’t die because of you. Her life was ended, yes, but now you are continuing the good that she couldn’t finish.

Paige: No! no! no! no!

The source: How touching. Hate to crash this little love fest.(sarcastically said) You’re right Paige, it’s all your fault, and now you’re going to die. (He hurtles a knife into Paige’s heart. She sinks to the floor.)

Piper: Leo hurry! (Leo bends down to heal Paige)

The source: (he has an energy ball in his hand ready to strike at Piper and Phoebe) Heal her, and they die.

Phoebe: Heal her Leo!

Leo: I can’t.

Piper: Just do it.

Leo: I can’t, my powers aren’t working.

The source: Oh yes, whitelighters powers don’t work down here. Something I’ve fixed since my empowerment. So sorry. (sarcastically) Oh, she’ll be dead by the time you get up there. (He turns

Phoebe: You bastard! How dare you! How dare you do this to us! (She is very angry and upset and shouting to his back) (Piper, Paige, and Phoebe: Prudence, Penelope, Patricia, Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura, and Grace, Halliwell witches stand strong beside us! Vanquish this evil from time and space!—this is the spell they say to vanquish the source.) Piper starts to say the spell and Phoebe joins in, but Paige does not. They start to say it, but it doesn’t work. Phoebe: It’s not working.

Piper: It will, it has to. They start to say it again, holding hands with Paige. As they say it over and over again, Paige joins in faintly.

The source: Guess I could kill you all then.

The source hurtles an energy ball at them, but he is vanquished just in time, as they say the spell.

Leo bends down and orbs Paige, Piper, and Phoebe up to the manor. They arrive in the attic, where Leo takes out the knife, and begins to heal Paige.

Piper: What’s taking so long?!

Leo: She’s not breathing

Phoebe: You can heal her, keep trying.

Piper: He can’t heal the dead remember. (She is crying)

Phoebe: She’s not dead Piper. We are not losing another sister, not after Prue.

Leo: Wait, she’s breathing.

Leo heals Paige and she sits up.

Phoebe: Oh thank god!

Piper hugs Paige, still crying.

Piper: (She lets go) You had us worried there for a while.

Paige: Yeah, sorry about that. So, did we kick some evil ass?

Piper: Yes we did, thanks to you.

Paige: Bet he wasn’t expecting that huh?

They hug, then the camera fades out.

We see Piper, Paige, Leo, and the kids in the dining room around the table. They all have glasses of something. Wyatt and Chris are playing together.

Piper: you know Paige, I never blamed you.

Paige: I know you didn’t, but you shouldn’t have had to deal with having another sister, no after what you two had been through.

Piper: Having to deal with another sister saved my life. I don’t know where I’d be if you weren’t here. (They hug)

Leo: Where’s Phoebe?

Paige: oh, I think she went outside with Jason.

(As Paige says this, Phoebe and Jason rush into the room)

Phoebe: Piper, how do you think Jason would look in a tux?

Piper: I don’t know, Why?

Phoebe and Jason: Because we are getting married!!!

Paige: He’s not a demon, is he? (Phoebe gives her a look) Just kidding. Just kidding.

Everyone gets up and starts congratulating them. They all start to hug and kiss. Piper picks up baby Chris, and her and Leo kiss. Paige picks up Wyatt and gives him a kiss.

They all sit around the table again.

Paige: I would like to make a toast. To Phoebe and Jason! And to my niece!

They clink glasses. Piper stands up.

Piper: And to family!

Phoebe: And to finding a balance in our lives!

Piper: And to Prue and Paige! We will always love you! (Piper, Paige, and Phoebe share a loving glance across the table) Phoebe and Piper go to Paige and they hug.

The camera recedes from the room. The girls are still hugging as this happens. The laughter begins to fade away, and the manor doors close. Camera fades out. That is the end.
