TEASER

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO P.D. - DAY

Some cops come in and out the station.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO P.D. - MAIN ROOM - DAY

Junior is sitting at his desk. He looks serious and down. He stares at an envelope on the desk. He's thoughtful. Michael approaches him.

MICHAEL

Hey, Buddy! We´ve got work.

Junior keeps staring at the envelope.

MICHAEL (CONT'D)

Junior! Did you hear me?

Junior looks at Michael.

JUNIOR

Sorry. What did you say?

MICHAEL

I said we´ve got a job.

JUNIOR

What is it?

Junior gets up. He's still a little down. Michael notices it.

MICHAEL

Are you OK?

JUNIOR

Why wouldn't I be?

MICHAEL

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you look like if you had lost all the happiness in your life.

(pauses)

You can talk to me.

Junior stares at Michael. Then he takes a deep breath and starts talking.

JUNIOR

It's my father.

MICHAEL

What is it with Captain Mitchell?

JUNIOR

Not that one.

MICHAEL

You've got any other?

JUNIOR

The one who made me.

MICHAEL

Why are you that way because of someone who never cared about you?

Junior approaches his desk.

JUNIOR

I don't care about him. I barely even heard about him in my life.

MICHAEL

So?

JUNIOR

He sent me this.

Junior takes the envelope and shows it to Michael.

MICHAEL

What is it?

JUNIOR

After all these years, he sends me a letter.

MICHAEL

What does it say?

JUNIOR

(takes a deep breath)

He's dying.

Michael looks serious at Junior. Michael takes the letter out of the envelope and starts reading it.

MICHAEL

(looks at Junior)

He wants to meet you?

JUNIOR

Apparently all these years in jail made him believe in miracles.

MICHAEL

So you've decided you are not going to visit him.

JUNIOR

It's not because he's dying and wants to meet me before jumping from this life to a better one that I'm going to visit him. -- I never even thought about the guy. Not even once in my entire life.

(pauses)

I only have one father. And that man loves me as if I was his birth son. I don't care what blood runs in my veins. What matters to me it's the love he has been giving me.

Michael puts the letter back to the envelope and lands it on the desk.

MICHAEL

Are you sure?

Junior nods. Michael nods too. Henry comes out from his office.

HENRY

Are you guys on the case of the art collection?

MICHAEL

We are on it, boss!

JUNIOR

Wait! Art Collection?

MICHAEL

A big collection of art coming from Europe was supposed to arrive at the National Museum two days ago.

HENRY

But it didn't. This morning some cops found the collection in an abandoned truck.

JUNIOR

Abandoned?

Henry and Michael nod.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

Why stealing an art collection and leave it?

Henry and Michael shrug.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

Let's get to it.

Junior takes his stuff from the desk and both Michael and Junior head out. Henry looks at them leaving. Once they leave, Henry is about to turn to enter his office, but notices the envelope on Junior's desk. Henry approaches it and takes the envelope. He takes the letter from the envelope and starts reading the letter. Once he's done, he looks serious at the door. He puts the letter back in the envelope and puts the envelope back on the desk. Then, he turns to enter his office.

CUT TO BLACK.

ACT ONE

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY

Shots of the town at the sound of "Sugar" by Maroon 5.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - ROAD - DAY

A truck is stopped in the middle of the road. Some cops are there. Michael's car approaches the scene. Michael parks the car and both Michael and Junior come out of it.

JUNIOR

At least it's not homicide.

They approach the truck and one of the cops.

COP #1

Inspectors!

MICHAEL

What do we have here?

COP #1

An art collection that was reported missing.

MICHAEL

How did it appear here?

COP #1

We guess there're more than one men behind this. But they just ran away.

MICHAEL

Question is why? Why leave it all here.

CLOSE ON THE TRUCK AND WHAT'S INSIDE: A big art COLLECTION INSIDE.

The cop shrug.

COP #1

My guess is that something scared them.

Michael and Junior look at the cop.

COP #1 (CONT'D)

The truck was open. Some stuff was outside it.

Cop #2 approaches them.

COP #2

We found this.

Cop #2 hands them a bag with something inside. Michael takes it.

CLOSE UP. RING INSIDE THE BAG.

The ring is yellow as gold and looks very ancient.

MICHAEL

Send it to the lab. Tell them to check for prints.

A car approaches the place: Tamora's car. They look at it.

JUNIOR

What's my sister doing here?

MICHAEL

Wish I knew.

Tamora parks the car and comes out of it.

TAMORA

Where is my collection?

Michael and Junior exchange glances.

MICHAEL

We just found it.

TAMORA

I'm so glad. Can I take it to the museum?

JUNIOR

Sorry, sis. But it's not released. We have to check everything.

TAMORA

Is that really necessary?

JUNIOR

You know it is.

Tamora looks at Michael as she's pleading sweet.

MICHAEL

Sorry, honey.

Tamora shrugs. She looks at the ring Michael is holding. Her eyes open big.

TAMORA

Is that the Duchess Katherina's Ring?

Michael looks at it.

MICHAEL

This?

Tamora tries to take it, but Michael pulls it back.

MICHAEL (CONT'D)

This is evidence, honey.

TAMORA

No. This is a piece of the art collection which exposition I was supposed to be organizing.

JUNIOR

Enough for me. Let's take this to the lab.

(to Tamora)

Sorry, sis. Your exposition has to wait.

Junior takes the ring. Tamora grimaces.

CUT TO:

INT. MALL - INT. CLOTHING SHOP - DAY

Prue, Melinda, Pandora, Charlotte and Cassandra are inside trying clothes. Prue comes out of a trying room wearing a long green dress.

PRUE

What about this one?

The girls stare at her.

CHARLOTTE

Looks good, but it's not exactly your color, sis.

Prue grimaces and turns around. She gets inside the trying room.

CASSANDRA

It is really necessary that we attend that party? It seems to me like there will be only old people.

PANDORA

Are you calling us old?

CASSANDRA

No, but it seems like a very sophisticated party.

MELINDA

I like sophisticated parties.

Melinda takes a blue long dress.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

I'm gonna try on this one.

Melinda gets inside the trying room. Prue comes out from her trying room.

PRUE

Did Tam call?

Prue is wearing a long one shelve red dress. The dress is beautiful.

CHARLOTTE

She's coming and definitely red is more your color.

PRUE

Red it is then.

Tamora approaches them.

TAMORA

My collection was found. Finally.

PANDORA

That's good.

(takes a blue dress)

Just in time for the exposition.

Pandora gets into the trying room. Melinda comes out wearing a long blue dress.

MELINDA

I'm not trying any other. This is the one.

They look at her.

PRUE / TAMORA

Definitely.

TAMORA

(to Prue)

And that one is for you.

(pauses)

About the exposition -- Not sure it's going to happen that soon.

Pandora peaks from the trying room.

PANDORA

Told ya. They have to investigate.

TAMORA

Exactly. Not even my boyfriend thinks that I can lose my job if that exposition is called off.

PRUE

It's not your fault.

TAMORA

Indeed.

(pauses)

Anyway, don't we have a black tie party to attend to?

CASSANDRA

Can I skip it?

CHARLOTTE

Mum wants us to go once she's not in town.

CASSANDRA

I bet Bianca is not going.

PRUE

She is, she got a beautiful dress the other day.

MELINDA

Why didn't she come with us?

PRUE

She thought you wouldn't feel comfortable with her here.

MELINDA

Nonsense. I learned to accept her.

Pandora comes out from the trying room.

PANDORA

Good for you. She'll be your sister in law.

Melinda stares at Pandora. Then she looks at the others. Prue, Tamora, Charlotte and Cassandra grimace. Melinda gets back into the trying room as well as Prue. Pandora looks at the others and shows them the dress she's wearing. She shows them the back of the dress. No back at all.

PANDORA (CONT'D)

Too sexy or what?

Tamora, Charlotte and Cassandra exchange glances.

TAMORA / CHARLOTTE / CASSANDRA

(smiling)

Sexy enough!

The girls smile.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO P.D. - DAY

Officers coming in and out the building.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO P.D. - MAIN ROOM - DAY

Junior and Michael come in.

MICHAEL

Have you got a suit?

JUNIOR

I don't know if I wanna go. I mean, that's an invitation made to the Bay Mirror's bosses.

MICHAEL

And their family.

JUNIOR

Yeah, but I don't feel in the mood.

MICHAEL

Are you still thinking about him?

JUNIOR

No -- I --

Junior is unable to finish what he was going to say because Henry comes out from his office.

HENRY

Have you got the results from the lab?

JUNIOR

Not yet.

An officer comes in with the bag which has the ring inside and some documents.

COP #2

No prints at all.

The officer hands the bag to Junior.

COP #2 (CONT'D)

But we've found them.

They look at the officer.

COP #2 (CONT'D)

I mean, one of them. We've got a call from a hotel receptionist saying that there was a crazy man disturbing them. 

(pauses)

He's been brought here.

HENRY

Good.

MICHAEL

Are we sure it's our man?

COP #2

That's what it looks like.

MICHAEL

Let's see him.

Michael and the Cop #2 head out. Junior is about to follow them, but Henry stops him.

HENRY

Son?

Junior looks at his father.

HENRY (CONT'D)

It's everything OK?

Junior finds that questions weird.

JUNIOR

Why wouldn't it be?

HENRY

I don't know. You seem off.

JUNIOR

I'm OK, dad. It's just --

(pauses)

-- I'm just worried about Tam's job. This exposition is very important for her.

HENRY

Then let's solve this case as fast as we can and give her the chance to shine at her job.

Both exchange smiles.

CUT TO:

EXT. BAY MIRROR - DAY

People are coming in and out the building.

CUT TO:

INT. BAY MIRROR - INT. MIRROR'S MAGAZINE - MAIN ROOM - DAY

Chris is there with some photographers and reporters.

CHRIS

That will be next month's head cover. 

REPORTER #1

A social event?

CHRIS

Orders from above. The Stables sisters are friends with Mr. Dean and he wants us to cover their first social event in the town. They are very influent women and apparently they are supporting District Attorney Green.

PHOTOGRAPHER #1

Will you be there working too?

CHRIS

I will, but as a guest and supervising everything.

(pauses)

That's all for now, guys. Get ready you all for tomorrow. Don' forget it's a black tie event. Even for the ones who are working. Another request from the Stables sisters.

They all nod yes and head back to work. Wyatt approaches Chris.

WYATT

I like to see you commanding. 

Chris smiles.

CHRIS

At least I command something.

Both share an accomplished smile.

WYATT

Ready for tomorrow?

CHRIS

(nods yes)

Bianca got me a suit.

Wyatt smiles.

WYATT

Prue did too. She likes this kind of stuff.

CHRIS

At least it keeps her thinking in other things apart from the wedding.

WYATT

I can't believe it'll be in three weeks from now.

CHRIS

(surprised)

Three weeks already? 

Wyatt nods.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

Damn! Still have a bachelor party to prepare.

WYATT

A bachelor party?

CHRIS

Don't think you'll get married and won't get one because you will get one.

WYATT

No matter what you do, I don't want to know what's coming.

CHRIS

Oh, don't worry. I promise it'll be good.

Chris smiles wicked.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT ONE

[Prue Brianna Johnna Halliwell]

ACT TWO

FADE IN:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO P.D. - INTERROGATION ROOM - DAY

A man (Donny Tanner, 30) is sitting at the table. He seems disturbed. Junior and Michael come in. Michael is holding a file. Michael sits across the table in front of the man.

MICHAEL

So, Mr. Tanner, what do we have here?

Donny looks down. Michael opens the file and places some pictures on the table.

MICHAEL (CONT'D)

You stole this entire collection and ran away.

(pauses)

Why?

Not a word from Donny. Junior, who's standing, and Michael exchange glances.

MICHAEL (CONT'D)

Why stealing an art collection and leave it in the middle of nowhere to be found?

Donny keeps looking down and saying nothing.

JUNIOR

We know you were not alone. Where are your partners?

For the first time, Donny speaks without staring at them.

DONNY

You wouldn't believe me.

MICHAEL

Try us.

The man says nothing. Junior takes a hand to his pant pocket and takes something. He puts the something on the table.

CLOSE UP: Duchess Katerina's ring.

JUNIOR

Why was this on the floor?

As Donny sees the ring, he gets up and pulls himself backward, scared.

DONNY

Get that away from me.

Donny seems really scared as he looks at the ring on the table. Junior and Michael exchange glances.

MICHAEL

What was this ring doing in the ground, Donny?

DONNY

(scared)

It took him.

MICHAEL

Your partner?

Donny nods scared.

DONNY

He put that ring on and the ring made him disappear. 

Junior and Michael exchange worried glances.

MICHAEL

How did he disappear?

DONNY

He's gone. Became dust.

Donny covers his face in fear.

DONNY (CONT'D)

Take it out of here.

Junior and Michael stare at Donny.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO P.D. - MAIN ROOM - DAY

Only a couple of officers there. Junior and Michael come in. Junior holds the ring.

JUNIOR

Did you see his reaction when he saw this?

Michael nods.

MICHAEL

He seemed really scared.

JUNIOR

Indeed.

Junior looks at the ring.

MICHAEL

Gonna call Tam.

JUNIOR

We are in the middle of an investigation and you find time to date my sister?

MICHAEL

This time is about work.

(pauses)

She must know something about that ring that may help us understand Donny's reaction.

JUNIOR

He's probably faking it.

MICHAEL

He may be. In any case, I'm gonna talk to her. 

Michael takes the cell phone out of his pocket and heads out the room. Junior stares at the ring for seconds. Then, out of nowhere, he puts the ring on. He looks at the ring in his finger for seconds. Then, tries to take it off, but --- HE CAN'T!

JUNIOR

(surprised)

What the hell?

He tries once again to take it off, but it seems impossible.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

Crap!

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY

SHOOTS OF THE CITY IN FAST MOTION.

CUT TO:

EXT. PRUE'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - DAY

There are some magazines on the sofa and photos of cakes. Prue comes in from the front door followed by Charlotte and Melinda.

CHARLOTTE

I must agree with Cass. Why do we have to go?

The girls come holding some bags. They put the bags on the sofa.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

We still have so much to do before the wedding.

MELINDA

It's gonna be a different night out.

PRUE

Indeed. It'll keep our head thinking about something else but the wedding.

MELINDA

Because we are supporting Wyatt and Chris.

PRUE

Not to mention Mum. She's the head of Bay Mirror.

CHARLOTTE

(shrugs)

Fine.

(pauses)

I just had some other things to do.

MELINDA

(sarcastic)

Well, thank Goodness you won't do it.

Melinda and Charlotte exchange glances. Prue doesn't get it. She starts looking at some pictures of cakes.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Have you picked one?

PRUE

(nods)

It's hard to pick one. They all seem perfect.

CHARLOTTE

Then you haven't found the one. You'll know it when you find it.

PRUE

Pointed!

At that moment, Bianca comes in from the front door. She stops as she sees the girls there.

BIANCA

Oh, hi. Didn't know you guys were here.

PRUE

We just got here. How are things at P3?

BIANCA

Good. Got the DJ you wanted to play next Saturday.

Prue smiles big.

PRUE

(excited)

Really?

Bianca smiles and nods. Melinda and Charlotte exchange glances.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Oh, thank you, Bianca.

Prue approaches Bianca and hugs her and Bianca hugs her back.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I'm glad you are helping me at P3.

(letting go of Bianca)

You rock.

Both smile. Melinda and Charlotte look at them. Prue, smiling, turns at Melinda and Charlotte. They shoot Prue a look. Bianca notices. Prue's smile fades away.

BIANCA

I have some things to do at my bedroom. See you guys later.

Melinda and Charlotte force a smile to Bianca. Bianca leaves towards her bedroom. Prue shoots Melinda and Charlotte a serious look.

PRUE

After all this time, you are still doing it.

Melinda and Charlotte exchange glances.

MELINDA

Doing what?

PRUE

That! That cold treatment. The girl is trying to approach us.

CHARLOTTE

Well, on the other hand, you treat her as your new BFF.

PRUE

I trust her.

CHARLOTTE

She's a Phoenix witch.

PRUE

Without powers.

Prue stares at her cousin and sister as they stare back at her.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I think she's proven she is worth of our trust.

MELINDA

Mum still doesn't.

PRUE

Aunt Piper is trying. She's invited Bianca to some family dinners.

MELINDA

Some. Not all.

PRUE

Oh, c'mon!

MELINDA

Prue, it's not that easy.

PRUE

It's been months. The girl is trying.

MELINDA

Fine, Prue. 

(pauses)

You trust her. Good for you. The rest of us need some more time.

Prue looks at Charlotte.

PRUE

(shrugs)

Fine. Just don't take too long. Chris might get hurt.

Melinda and Charlotte exchange serious glances.

CHARLOTTE

What if we get back to the wedding preparations?

PRUE

Good. 

(pauses)

How are the maid's dresses going?

MELINDA

That's Tamora's field, but I think they're gonna be perfect.

PRUE

Good.

All three girls force smile.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT TWO

[Prue Brianna Johnna Halliwell]

ACT THREE

FADE IN:

INT. MATTHEWS / MITCHELL MANOR - ENTRANCE - DAY

Junior comes in. He seems worried. He tries once again to take the ring off of his finger.

JUNIOR

(worried)

Oh, Crap! Crap! Crap!

TAMORA (O.S.)

Indeed!

Tamora comes downstairs.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

Are you ready to release my exposition?

Junior looks at her.

JUNIOR

I have better things to think about.

He shows her his finger with the ring. Tamora looks at it. She's open-eyed.

TAMORA

Is that Duchess Katherina's Ring?

JUNIOR

(mad)

I don't know who this belongs to. I just want to take it off.

TAMORA

Why did you put it on, in the first place?

JUNIOR

I wish I knew.

TAMORA

What do you mean?

Junior tries to take it off again.

JUNIOR

I guess it was...

TAMORA

It was what?

JUNIOR

(serious)

Calling me.

Tamora gets surprised.

TAMORA

OMG!

JUNIOR

(desperate)

OMG? Why OMG? What do you mean with OMG?

Tamora starts walking from a side to another
.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

Answer me, Tam. You can't say OMG and shut your mouth right after.

TAMORA

It's true.

JUNIOR

(worried)

What's true?

TAMORA

The curse.

Junior gets even more worried.

JUNIOR

What curse?

Tamora stops.

TAMORA

Duchess Katerina's curse.

They stare at one another. Pandora ORBS in at that moment.

PANDORA

(cheerful)

Hey, guys!

They look at her.

PANDORA (CONT'D)

(to Tamora)

Yes, I know. I just came for some papers and after work I promise I'll stop by the flowers shop to reserve the roses.

TAMORA

Forget the roses.

PANDORA

What? I was responsible for the roses.

TAMORA

Yeah, we have more important things to do right now.

Tamora grabs Junior's hand and shows it to Pandora. Pandora looks at the ring. She grimaces.

PANDORA

Fine. He likes rings. What's the problem? 

Pandora takes a better look at the ring.

PANDORA (CONT'D)

A little old fashion, but hey, you like what you like.

Pandora smiles.

TAMORA

It's not the ring. It's what the ring means, sis.

PANDORA

Care to elaborate, please?

JUNIOR

(anxious)

Yes, Tam, care to elaborate?

Tamora lets go of Junior's hand.

TAMORA

Fine!

(pauses)

That ring was cursed by Katerina de La Manch. She was a witch from the XI century. And she cursed the ring to punish her husband. 

JUNIOR

Why in the world would you prepare an exposition with cursed items?

TAMORA

I didn't know it was a true story thing. I thought it was just a legend.

PANDORA

Really? You're a witch, Tam. You should know better what legends can mean.

TAMORA

Well, I wasn't sure, OK? Besides, it was my boss who accepted the exposition.

JUNIOR

Accepted?

TAMORA

(nods)

It was a donation. The owner wanted to get rid of it.

PANDORA

(sarcastic)

Yeah, wonder why?!

Junior gets thoughtful.

JUNIOR

The man...

PANDORA

What man?

JUNIOR

He seemed a little confused. And got scared when he saw the ring. His partner...

Junior cuts himself off. Then, he looks straight to Tamora. He swallows.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

What happens to the ones who put it on?

Tamora doesn't answer. Pandora approaches Junior. He seems a little bit different. His hair looks lighter. She takes a closer look.

PANDORA

(to Junior)

What the hell is happening to your hair?

Junior approaches the mirror and looks at his reflection on it. His light brown hair is disappearing, giving place to white hair.

JUNIOR

(worried; to Tamora)

Tam, what happens to the ones who try it on?

Tamora forces a smile.

TAMORA

They age. Fast.

ON JUNIOR. His hair becomes completely white while the look on his face becomes from worried to extremely worried.

CUT TO:

INT. MATTHEWS / MITCHELL MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY (MOMENTS LATER)

ON PANDORA. She walks from one side to another.

PANDORA

This is bad. Oh, it's too bad!

She keeps walking from one side to another.

JUNIOR (O.S)

You'll create a hole in the floor if you don't stop.

Junior's voice sounds weird. Pandora stops and looks at him.

PANDORA

(looks at Junior)

You look worse.

ON JUNIOR. OLD JUNIOR. He's sitting on the couch. He's not longer the attractive young man he used to be. He's old. Looks like having eighty something.

JUNIOR

Thanks, sis.

Pandora grimaces. The front door is heard. Soon, Michael and Henry come in the living room.

HENRY

(worried)

Where is he?

Pandora looks at her father. Then she looks at Junior in the sofa. Henry and Michael look at him. They are open-eyed.

HENRY (CONT'D)

(really worried now)

Oh, Son. What happened to you?

JUNIOR

(forces a smile)

I guess half-whitelighters can age, dad.

MICHAEL

(to Pandora)

Where's Tam?

PANDORA

She headed to the museum. Apparently some Journals were sent by the last owner of the ring. 

At that moment, Tamora ORBS in. She holds a journal.

TAMORA

Got it!

HENRY

Did you find a way to reverse this?

Tamora looks at Junior. She is astonished as she sees how old he's got.

TAMORA

Oh, Junior.

HENRY

(attracting his daughter's attention)

Tam! Is there a way to reverse this fast?

Tamora looks at the journal.

TAMORA

Not exactly.

The little hope they had banishes away from their faces.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

The only thing I know it's that Madam Katerina cursed this ring. It was her husband's wedding ring. 

MICHAEL

Why?

TAMORA

She was a witch.

PANDORA

(sarcastic)

Obviously!

Tamora shoots her sister a look.

TAMORA

She cursed the ring to get revenge on her husband.

(pauses)

He left her for a younger woman. But he returned to her later. She accepted him back, but had the will of revenge inside. And so she cursed the ring. 

(pauses)

According to the journal she wrote, he aged fast and died.

Tamora shoots Junior a look.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

Fast. He died fast.

(pauses)

From then on, the ring has passed through generations. Everyone who tried it died.

(to Michael and Henry)

That's probably what happened to one of the robbers. 

MICHAEL

That's why the other guy got scared.

TAMORA

And that's why the last owner wanted to get ride of Madam Katerina's heritage.

JUNIOR

Great. Let's hope for when die I become full whitelighter.

Henry approaches his son.

HENRY

No. We'll take you out of it.

JUNIOR

There's no way to reverse it, dad.

Junior feels dizzy. Henry holds his son's hand.

HENRY

I'm sorry son, but I don't believe that.

(to his daughters)

Get Melinda here.

Tamora and Pandora nod. Tamora gets his phone from her pocket and dials a number.

CUT TO:

INT. PRUE'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Prue and Charlotte are looking at the cakes' photos as Melinda talks on the phone.

MELINDA

(on the phone)

Are you sure?

Prue and Charlotte look at Melinda.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

Fine. I'll be right there.

Melinda hangs off the phone.

PRUE

Something wrong?

MELINDA

Junior. We need to get there fast.

Prue and Charlotte nod yes.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT THREE

[Prue Brianna Johnna Halliwell]

ACT FOUR

FADE IN:

INT. MATTHEWS / MITCHELL MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY

ON JUNIOR. He is lying on the sofa. Henry is sitting by his son holding his hand. Michael, Tamora and Pandora are there too. Prue BEAMS in bringing Melinda. Charlotte BEAMS in too.

PRUE

What happened?

Before anyone could answer, the girls look at Junior.

CHARLOTTE

Oh My God!

TAMORA

(to Melinda)

Freeze him. Fast.

Melinda nods. She approaches Junior fast. Henry gets up and lets Melinda work. Quickly, Melinda FREEZES Junior.

MELINDA

Done.

TAMORA

Good. Let's keep him frozen.

PRUE

Can you explain to us what happened?

TAMORA

That ring --

(points to the ring in Junior's hand)

-- It's cursed.

CHARLOTTE

Why don't you take it off?

TAMORA

It's impossible. We tried.

PRUE

Why would Junior wear a cursed ring?

PANDORA

He didn´t know.

PRUE

Any plans to get him back to himself?

Tamora hands Prue the journal.

TAMORA

This is Madam Katerina's journal.

PRUE

(taking the journal)

Who the hell is that?

HENRY

A freaking witch!

They all look to Henry.

HENRY (CONT'D)

She cursed the ring and now my son is dying.

PRUE

(flips the journal)

Is there a way to reverse it?

TAMORA

Nothing in the journal. I looked from cover to cover.

MELINDA

So, what do we do?

CHARLOTTE

Probably I could check on Magic School and see if I can find anything about her.

PRUE

There's no time for that.

They look at Prue.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Let's ask her.

They all exchange glances.

MICHAEL

What do you mean?

MELINDA

Conjuring the witch?

Prue nods.

PRUE

And fast.

They all nod. Henry approaches his son and looks at him. Henry seems really sad.

CUT TO:

INT. MATTHEWS / MITCHELL MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY (MOMENTS LATER)

Pandora, Michael, Henry and a frozen old Junior are there. Prue, Melinda and Tamora are in the middle of the living room. The center table is covered with a white cloth. On it are six candles, three white and three purple, and a pot. Prue lightens a sage stick and puts it in the pot.

PRUE

Let's do it.

Melinda and Tamora nod. They hold each other's hands.

PRUE / MELINDA / TAMORA

(chanting)

'Hear these words,

Hear our cry,

Spirit from the other side.

Come to us,

We summon thee,

Cross now the great divide.

Beloved Madam Katerina,

We Seek Your Guidance.

We ask that You Commune

With Us and move among Us.'

A breeze blows through the room. A mist appears in from of them. Soon, Madam Katerina's spirit appears wearing ancient clothes.

KATERINA

What happened? Where am I?

PRUE

We summoned you, Katerina. We need your help.

KATERINA

My help on what?

TAMORA

It's my brother.

(she points to Junior)

He's dying.

Katerina looks at Junior.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

He tried on the ring you cursed.

Katerina looks back at them.

KATERINA

The ring was cursed to hurt my husband. He's burning in hell now.

HENRY

And I hope you are too!

Katerina looks at Henry.

KATERINA

He hurt me!

HENRY

So you go and kill him? What about my son? He has no part on it.

KATERINA

He's a man.

MELINDA

But not your husband. Every man that has tried it on has died.

KATERINA

Men should respect the women that love them.

PANDORA

My brother is innocent.

KATERINA

There's not a single innocent man. They all should pay.

PRUE

Please. Just tell us how to reverse it.

Katerina laughs.

KATERINA

That's impossible, dear.

They all exchange glances.

PRUE

You mean you don't want to help us?

KATERINA

No, I don't want to. But even if I wanted, there's no way to reverse the curse.

HENRY

(pleading)

Please. My son is innocent.

PRUE

(serious now; threatening)

Tell us a way to reverse my cousin's condition or I --

KATERINA

(daring)

You what?

PRUE

I'll banish you damn spirit to hell and so you'll burn forever.

Katerina laughs, but realizes Prue is serious. Katerina looks at Junior.

KATERINA

Fine. A powerful weapon. Old and created by magic. Do you have something like that?

Prue smiles victoriously.

PRUE

As a matter of fact, I know exactly the owner of the most powerful weapon created by magic.

(pauses)

Thank you, Katerina. Have a nice death.

Katerina gets serious. Then, Prue, Melinda and Tamora extinguish the candles. Katerina disappears.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(calling; commanding)

Wyatt Matthew Halliwell, get your ass here immediately!

PANDORA

(sarcastic to Prue)

It's lovely the way you treat your husband-to-be.

Nothing happens.

PRUE

(loudly)

WYATT!

Soon, Wyatt and Chris ORB in.

WYATT

(mad)

What?

MELINDA

Call one, get two.

CHRIS

I was just telling Wyatt that something was going on.

CHARLOTTE

How did you know?

CHRIS

Bianca told me.

PANDORA

Oh, Bianca!

Prue shoots Pandora a look.

WYATT

(to Prue)

Why did you call me here?

PRUE

We have work.

Prue points to old Junior.

WYATT

Who's that?

HENRY

Junior.

WYATT

(surprised)

What?

CHRIS

What happened to him?

MICHAEL

Storytelling later. Let's fix it.

PRUE

(to Wyatt)

We need Excalibur. The most powerful weapon created by magic.

WYATT

To do what?

TAMORA

Destroy that ring.

Tamora points to the ring in Junior's hand.

WYATT

To destroy a ring? Really?

PRUE

Just do it, love. We are running out of time.

Wyatt takes a deep breath. Then, he closes his eyes and concentrates. Soon, Excalibur APPEARS in Wyatt's hand.

WYATT

Done.

PRUE

Mel, unfreeze Junior.

Melinda nods and waves her hands. Now Junior is unfrozen.

JUNIOR

(weak)

Guys, what happened?

Henry approaches his son.

HENRY

Hi, kid. 

JUNIOR

I'm not a kid anymore, dad.

HENRY

Sure you are. You're my kid. You always will be.

TAMORA

Junior, Wyatt will use Excalibur to take that ring off your finger.

Suddenly Junior ages again. Some more wrinkles appear on his face, neck and hands. They all exchange glances.

JUNIOR

What.. are you talking...

He gets more and more weak.

PRUE

(to Wyatt)

Do it.

Wyatt nods and approaches Junior. Henry steps aside to let Wyatt work.

WYATT

Hey, kid. Close your eyes.

Junior closes his eyes. Wyatt lifts his sword over his head. They all look at it. Fast, Wyatt drives the sword towards the ring on Junior's finger.

ON THE SWORD DESTROYING THE RING. The ring breaks in a few pieces. The aging process reverses. Where old Junior was, now is the same old young Junior.

JUNIOR

(getting up mad)

What the hell?! Couldn't you find another way to save me?

WYATT

(sarcastic)

You're welcome!

HENRY

(relieved)

Son!

Henry approaches Junior and hugs him.

HENRY (CONT'D)

Now you're OK.

JUNIOR

I'm OK, dad.

Both smile.

PRUE

Great. Now I really need to go. I have a cake to pick.

(to Wyatt)

Is the groom willing to help me?

Prue smiles at Wyatt.

WYATT

(smiling back)

Always.

Wyatt makes Excalibur disappear. Then he approaches to Prue and ORBS out taking her.

MELINDA

Well, now that everything is fine --

(to Tamora, Pandora and Charlotte)

We need to talk about the wedding. Now.

Tamora, Pandora and Charlotte exchange glances. The four girls head out the living room.

CHRIS

(to Michael and Junior)

We need to talk about the wedding too. Well, not exactly. Bachelor's party.

Michael nods.

HENRY

You guys go. I need to talk to my son.

Junior looks at Henry. Michael and Chris head out the living room.

JUNIOR

What is it?

HENRY

I know about the letter.

JUNIOR

Dad ---

HENRY

(cuts Junior off)

You should go.

Junior is surprised.

JUNIOR

What?

HENRY

Son, I know that no matter what that man has to say to you would change what you and I are.

JUNIOR

Dad, I don't care about him. You are my father.

HENRY

I know. But thanks to him, you are my son.

Junior lowers his gaze.

HENRY (CONT'D)

Just think about it.

Junior nods. Henry taps Junior's shoulder.

CUT TO BLACK.

STOCK

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - MELINDA'S BEDROOM - DAY

Melinda, Tamora, Pandora, Charlotte and Cassandra are there.

TAMORA

(to Melinda)

Are you sure? Because I don't agree.

MELINDA

Look, we have to accept that she's part of our --

TAMORA

(cuts her off)

Don't say family. She's not family.

MELINDA

Fine. The group, then. She has helped us several times. 

CHARLOTTE

She's evil, Mel.

MELINDA

No, she's not. I doubt Prue would trust her if she was.

PANDORA

She's her cupid.

MELINDA

And that's why she can read Bianca's heart.

They all exchange glances.

CASSANDRA

You guys know what?

They look at Cassandra.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

I kinda like her. So, fine for me.

TAMORA

(shrugs)

Whatever. Now, if you'd excuse me, I have an exposition to prepare. See you later!

Tamora ORBS out.

MELINDA

What about you?

Charlotte and Pandora exchange glances.

CHARLOTTE / PANDORA

Fine!

Melinda smiles.

Fast motion images at the sound of "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson.

CUT TO:

EXT. STABLES MANSION - NIGHT

MUSIC FADES OFF.

CUT TO:

INT. STABLES MANSION - SALON - NIGHT

The house is full of people. It's a black tie event. Melinda and Damon approach Tamora and Michael. Both Melinda and Tamora wear long dresses: Melinda wears a one-shoulder blue dress while Tamora wears a tied to her neck green dress. The boys look very elegant on suits.

TAMORA

(to Damon)

So you came after all.

DAMON

Yeah. I couldn't leave this woman all by herself.

Melinda and Tamora smile. Pandora, Charlotte and Cassandra approach them. Pandora wears a gray long dress, Charlotte wears a pink long dress and Cassandra picked a black long dress.

MELINDA

(to Charlotte)

Hey, you came -- alone?

CHARLOTTE

(rolls her eyes)

Indeed.

MELINDA

(forces a smile)

Good!

Charlotte shoots her a look.

TAMORA

(to Cassandra)

Where's David?

CASSANDRA

David who?

PANDORA

She broke up with David a couple of months ago.

TAMORA

(surprised)

Really? I didn't know.

CASSANDRA

Forget it. I've moved on.

TAMORA

Good for you.

CHARLOTTE

Have you guys seen who's there?

Charlotte points to another part of the salon. Wyatt and Chris are talking with some photographers from Mirror's Magazine. Bianca is close to them. She's wearing a beautiful yellow long dress.

TAMORA

Should we talk to her?

Michael and Damon exchange glances.

MICHAEL

What are you girls up to?

MELINDA

Our business.

DAMON

Should we get worried?

MELINDA

Not at all.

(to her cousins)

Let's go.

The girls approach Bianca.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Hey, Bianca.

BIANCA

(surprised)

Oh, hi.

MELINDA

Can we talk?

Bianca glances at Chris.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Don't worry. We won't bite.

Bianca nods. They head out of the room.

CUT TO:

INT. STABLES MANSION - BALCONY - NIGHT

Prue is on the balcony of the mansion. She wears a beautiful trumpet sleeveless long red dress. She looks at the lightened garden. Someone approaches her.

RAINA (O.S.)

Beautiful, isn't it?

Prue looks at Raina. Raina smiles. Prue smiles back.

PRUE

Indeed. The owners have a nice taste.

RAINA

Thank you.

Prue realizes Raina is one of the owners.

PRUE

Are you --

RAINA

Raina Stables. Nice to meet you.

Raina reaches out her hand. Prue and Raina shake hands.

PRUE

I am --

RAINA

(cuts her off)

Prue Halliwell. I know.

Prue is surprised.

RAINA (CONT'D)

I saw you with Mr. Halliwell. Wyatt. So I presumed you are his fiancée. 

PRUE

(smiles)

Indeed I am.

RAINA

Congratulations.

PRUE

Thanks.

Both remind silent for seconds.

RAINA

Prue Halliwell. 

(looks at Prue)

A powerful name.

PRUE

(smiles)

Agree.

RAINA

I bet you are a powerful woman too.

PRUE

What makes you say that?

RAINA

Because a name is powerful when its owner is powerful too. I bet you are very powerful, Miss Halliwell. I admire powerful women.

PRUE

Well, I consider myself very powerful.

RAINA

(smiles)

Good.

(pauses)

It was nice to meet you. Hope to see you soon. Have fun.

Raina turns around and heads inside the party. Soon after, Wyatt comes to the balcony.

WYATT

Hey! Found you!

PRUE

(smiles)

Hi! Are you done working?

WYATT

I am. I promise.

Both kiss.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Are you having fun?

Prue nods.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Not thinking about the wedding at all.

PRUE

No.

Wyatt doesn´t bite it.

WYATT

You sure?

Both share accomplished smiles. Prue gives in.

PRUE

OK, fine. I'm thinking about it. I just want everything to be perfect.

WYATT

Everything will be perfect.

PRUE

Promise?

Wyatt nods yes. Prue smiles. Both kiss again.

CUT TO:

INT. STABLES MANSION - EXT. GARDEN - NIGHT

ON BIANCA. She's surprised.

BIANCA

Are you serious?

In front of her are Melinda, Tamora, Charlotte, Pandora and Cassandra.

MELINDA

We are. Prue trusts you so it makes sense.

BIANCA

I don't know what to say. I thought you guys didn't want me around.

TAMORA

Nonsense.

Bianca stares at them.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

OK, fine. I confess that I still can't forgive you for what you did.

BIANCA

(lowers her gaze)

I understand. If I were you I wouldn't forgive me either.

MELINDA

Well, it doesn't matter right now. We are willing to give you a chance. Would you take it and accept to be part of us?

Bianca takes a few seconds to answer.

BIANCA

(smiles)

I do.

MELINDA

(smiles)

Great.

CHARLOTTE

Just don't tell Prue. We want it to be a surprise.

BIANCA

I won't. So what can I do?

PANDORA

As for now, keep taking care of P3. 

MELINDA

Yeah, we need Prue focused on the wedding.

TAMORA

And let's face it. You're doing a good job.

BIANCA

(smiles)

Thanks.

CASSANDRA

So I guess I must say it. Welcome to the Halliwell Coven.

Bianca smiles.

CUT TO:

INT. STABLES MANSION - SALON - NIGHT

The music is on. People are drinking and enjoying the party. Raina approaches Davina. Both women wear dark long dresses, Davina dark green and Raina dark purple.

DAVINA

Did you talk to her?

RAINA

Yes.

DAVINA

And--?

RAINA

The first move is done. In only three weeks, she'll be married and she'll have full access to the Twice Blessed power.

DAVINA

And that's better for us.

RAINA

Indeed. Channeling the Power of Nine was enough, but imagine what we can do with the Twice Blessed power.

DAVINA

That'll ensure that our plans would work.

RAINA

(smiles)

Indeed. Once the wedding has passed, the Charmed Ones will join us and our group will get the power needed to change everything.

Davina and Raina smile.

DAVINA

I'm glad we didn't approach the mother's all those years ago.

RAINA

Know how to wait for the right moment is a great virtue, Davina. And we have all eternity for that.

Both smile again.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN QUENTIN STATE PRISON - VISITING ROOM - NIGHT

Junior is sitting on the visitors' side of the visiting room. In the prisoners side, the door opens. A man (CHRISTOPHER MERCER, 44) comes in. He looks at Junior. The guard signs Christopher where to sit. Once Christopher is sitting, he grabs the intercom. Junior takes longer to do it, but ends up picking it too.

CHRISTOPHER

Son ---

JUNIOR

(dry)

I already have a father. His name is Henry Mitchell.

Christopher lowers his gaze.

CHRISTOPHER

I know. I'm sorry.

JUNIOR

Sorry for what?

CHRISTOPHER

For not being able to raise you and being with you.

JUNIOR

No need to be sorry for that. I have the best family in the world.

CHRISTOPHER

I was very young. I didn't know about you.

JUNIOR

And you never care before.

Junior is hard on Christopher.

JUNIOR (CONT'D)

So why now? I don't need you. I never did.

CHRISTOPHER

I know. 

(pauses)

But I do.

They stare at one another.

CHRISTOPHER (CONT'D)

I'm dying, son. The doctor gave me a few months to live and I don't want to die without you forgiving me. So once again, I'm sorry.

Junior and Christopher stare at one another as the image fades away.

CUT TO BLACK.
