DESTINED

"SHADOWS ARE COMING"

TEASER

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. PRUE'S CONDO - MAIN BEDROOM - DAY

CLOSE UP: SOME CLOTHES INSIDE A SUITCASE.

ON PRUE.

PRUE
(shocked)
What?

Tamora is there sitting on the bed. She has a sad look on her face.

PRUE (CONT'D)

How is this possible. I'm out for a week and when I come back I find out that the world is upside down!

TAMORA

It's not the world. It's just my life.

PRUE

Have you talked?

Tamora nods no.

MELINDA (O.S.)

They're running away from that.

Melinda comes into the bedroom.

TAMORA

Every time we try to talk, we end up fighting because of that.

(pauses)

I think we are not in the same page anymore.

Prue and Melinda exchange glances. Then both approach Tamora and sit beside her. They hug Tamora.

PRUE

Oh, sweetie. I'm so sorry.

MELINDA

Yeah, Mike is family and I just hope you both get through this.

TAMORA

Thank you, girls.

All three stay that way for moments.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

(to Prue)

Are you really leaving this place?

They separate.

PRUE

I'm a married woman now. Wyatt and I decided to live in the manor.

TAMORA

With your in-laws?

Prue and Melinda exchange glances.

MELINDA

Well, for the record, Mum is really decided to open a new restaurant in New Orleans, Ella really knew how to sell the city, so I think she'll spend a lot of time there. And dad will stay where mum is.

PRUE

And I think Chris and Bianca will make a good use of my condo.

MELINDA

While I ---

(smiles)

I'm a good person to live with.

All three smile. Tamora gets back to the sad face.

TAMORA

Oh, I wish my problems have a good solution as well.

MELINDA

They will.

PRUE

(stands)

Now help me pack.

Melinda and Tamora get up. At that moment, Charlotte BEAMS in.

CHARLOTTE

Hey!

PRUE

What happened to knocking?

CHARLOTTE

You're moving out. That rule doesn't apply anymore.

PRUE

Pointed.

(pauses)

What's going on?

CHARLOTTE

We have a problem.

Prue, Melinda and Tamora exchange glances. Then they stare at Charlotte.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

Its name is Cassandra.

Prue and Charlotte stare at each other, serious.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY

The camera moves in fast motion away from San Francisco and straight to ---

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS' TEMPLE - SQUARE - DAY

Davina comes walking fast while other Shadow Witches are there. She gets into a room.

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS TEMPLE - STONE ROOM - DAY

The room has a few lights. In the middle of the room, there's a big dark stone. Raina is there looking at the stone. Davina approaches her.

DAVINA

They're back.

RAINA

I know.

DAVINA

(anxious)

Then, if you know why haven't you done anything?

Raina spins on Davina.

RAINA

Patient, my dear, it's a great virtue.

DAVINA

Raina, we've been waiting for this since ever.

RAINA

(raises her voice)

Should I remind you what happened last time we did this? That we invited others to join us?

(pauses)

Do you remember what happened then?

Davina deviates her eyes from Raina.

DAVINA

We regretted it.

RAINA

It cost us a lot. The stone has been off for thousands of years. We made a mistake back then and it cost us the essence of the stone. To get it back we need them.

(pauses)

So we better do it right this time.

Raina gives her back on Davina.

RAINA (CONT'D)

Anyway, get the necklaces ready. They will be needed at any moment.

Davina vows. Then she turns around and leaves the room. Raina takes a hand to the necklace on her neck. It's a black diamond. As black as night and as beautiful as anything else.

RAINA (CONT'D)

(smiles)

The moment is close. I can feel it.

She approaches the black stone.

RAINA (CONT'D)

Soon you will be lightened again.

She smiles as she touches the stone.

CUT TO BLACK.

ACT ONE

OVER CREDITS.

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. PRUE'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Prue comes from the bedroom, she seems mad. Charlotte, Melinda and Tamora come in too.

PRUE

What the hell is happening with that kid?!

(mad)

I knew it!

CHARLOTTE

Prue, I tried to talk to her, but she shot me out.

MELINDA

Charlie, why didn't you came to us?

CHARLOTTE

I didn't know what to do. I and Demetria have been watching her.

TAMORA

I never thought that Cassandra would be able to steal a car.

PRUE

No, no, no. My sister is not like that. It has to be that boy. I knew he was bad thing.
(pauses)

He's a witch, you said?

Charlotte nods yes.

CHARLOTTE

He was supposed to attend Magic School, but hasn't came in in a long time.

PRUE

So, he's using his powers recklessly?

Charlotte nods yes again. Prue thinks for seconds.

CHARLOTTE

What are we gonna do?

PRUE

(serious)

I'll talk to her.

MELINDA

What if she doesn't listen to you?

PRUE

(takes a deep breath)

She will. No matter how, she will. I'm not letting my baby sister step out of the right way. Even if I have to force her.

Charlotte, Melinda and Tamora exchange glances. ON PRUE. She's serious.

CUT TO:

EXT. BAY MIRROR - DAY

People are coming in and out the building.

CUT TO:

INT. BAY MIRROR - MIRROR'S MAGAZINE - WYATT'S OFFICE - DAY

Wyatt is working at his computer. He seems concentrated. Someone knocks the door.

WYATT

(not taking his eyes off the computer)

Come in!

Melissa comes in. She closes the door behind her. She says nothing. Wyatt takes his eyes off the computer and looks at Melissa.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Hey.

MELISSA

Hi.

(takes a deep breath)

I'm sorry.

Wyatt looks serious at her.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

For what happened in your bachelor's party.

WYATT

It's OK. Just make sure Prue doesn't find you.

MELISSA

(surprised)

She knows?

Wyatt nods.

WYATT

We have no secrets to each other.

MELISSA

(surprised)

Wow! You really are made for each other.

Wyatt smiles. Melissa turns back. Wyatt gets back to his computer. Melissa turns around again.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

What's a Succubus?

Wyatt takes his eyes off the computer again. He seems pale.

WYATT

What?

MELISSA

On that night, I heard you guys talking about it.

Wyatt is astonished.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

Did you burn her with fire?

WYATT

(stands)

Melissa --

MELISSA

(cuts him off)

I know about magic, Wyatt.

Wyatt doesn't know what to say.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I haven't seen it, but I know that exists. The supernatural exists.

(pauses)

Are you a demon or something?

WYATT

(takes a deep breath)

No. I'm a witch.

Melissa is open-mouthed.

MELISSA

I thought witches were women.

WYATT

There're male witches too. How --

MELISSA

(cuts him off)

Your family?

Wyatt lowers his gaze.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

Holly!

WYATT

Melissa, you can't tell about it.

MELISSA

Do you think I want people saying that I'm crazy?

Both stare at each other.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I won't say a word.

(pauses)

But there'll come a day where I'll be needing your help, Wyatt.

WYATT

On What?

MELISSA

You'll know some day. Just not now.

Melissa turns back. Then she turns back to face him again.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

Your secret is safe.

She turns back, opens the door and leaves the office closing the door behind her. Wyatt closes his eyes and then opens them again.

WYATT

Crap!

ON WYATT. He's irritated.

CUT TO:

INT. BERKELEY CAMPUS - DORMS - DAY

Charlotte opens the door and comes in. She freezes as she sees someone else inside the bedroom.

CASSANDRA

I guess I have to forbid the beaming thing here too.

ON PRUE. She's there. Serious. Arms crossed. Looking at Cassandra.

PRUE

Not funny!

CASSANDRA

(closes the door behind here)

You know what is also not funny? You guys, bothering me all the time.

PRUE

Oh, now we bother you?

Cassandra rolls her eyes.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(uncrosses her arms)

Stealing cars, Cassandra, really? What else have you been doing?

CASSANDRA

(rude)

You have nothing to do with that. Actually none of you have.

PRUE

(approaches her)

I'm your big sister. I gave you a vote of confidence.

CASSANDRA

Which I didn't ask for.

PRUE

Are you kidding me? Mom and dad let you get out of the manor because I asked them.

CASSANDRA

You didn't have to. I'm an adult now. I can do whatever I want.

PRUE

An adult, Cassandra? Tell me, since when a responsible adult steals cars and does whatever you're doing with that guys?

CASSANDRA

(still rude)

Of course, it all comes down to my boyfriend.

PRUE

He's a witch. And not the responsible type.

CASSANDRA

He's my boyfriend, period.

PRUE

No. No period.

Prue takes her hands to her hips.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(bossy)

You are leaving him. NOW.

CASSANDRA

(smiles; sarcastic)

You don't get to tell me what to do.

PRUE

I'm your big sister.

CASSANDRA

I don't care.

PRUE

You want to disappoint mom and dad?

CASSANDRA

Do whatever you want. My life is mine.

(rolls her eyes)

Now, if you please ---

Cassandra points to the exit door. She's inviting Prue to leave.

PRUE

I won´t give up on you.

CASSANDRA

Do whatever you want. I don't care.

Prue rolls her eyes. She heads to the exit. Before she leaves, she shoots a look at her sister.

PRUE

You said you wanted a normal life.

(pauses)

This is not a normal life.

Prue leaves. Cassandra slams the door.

CUT TO:

INT. BERKELEY CAMPUS - DORMS' CORRIDORS - DAY

Prue stops. She closes her eyes for moments. When she opens them, they are red.

PRUE

I wish I had control over you, Cass!

Prue keeps walking.

CUT TO:

EXT. HALLIWELL'S - DAY

The facade of the restaurant is shown as well as some people come in and out.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL'S - DINING ROOM - DAY

The restaurant is full of people. Tamora and Michael are by a table. An employee takes their dishes off the table and leaves. Tamora deviates her look from Michael. Michael looks around. Tamora takes a deep breath.

TAMORA

OK. We can't keep doing this.

MICHAEL

(faces her)

Agree.

TAMORA

Mike, we need to talk.

MICHAEL

Every single time we start this conversation, either I or you stands and leaves.

TAMORA

I know. But we have to reach an agreement.

MICHAEL

I do agree with you. But you don't seem to understand my reasons.

TAMORA

(raises her voice)

And you don't seem to understand mines.

(pauses)

It's not my time yet.

MICHAEL

(mad)

Well, it's mine.

Both stare at each other.

MICHAEL (CONT'D)

And if you'd love me you would want to be with me.

TAMORA

I want to be with you.

MICHAEL

You just don't want to get married.

Tamora rolls her eyes in desperation.

TAMORA

Damn it, Michael. It's not the time.

MICHAEL

Then, when?

TAMORA

I don't know.

Both are talking a little too loud and some of the others commensals start looking at them. They realize it.

 
TAMORA (CONT'D)

(lowers her voice)

Maybe someday, but not now.

MICHAEL
(smiles sarcastic)

Yeah, the maybe says it all.

Michael stands. Tamoras is desperate.

TAMORA

Mike ---

Michael throws the napkin on the table.

MICHAEL

Forget it.

Michael heads out the restaurant. Tamora is desperate. She covers her face with her hands. Then takes them out.

TAMORA

(to herself)

I wish I could make him understand!

A tear runs down her face.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT ONE

[Prue Brianna Johnna Halliwell]

ACT TWO

FADE IN:

INT. MARKETSMETS, ADVERTISING & MARKETING - RECEPTION HALL - DAY

Melinda comes in a rush. She carries a folder and her bag. She looks very smart and professional. She's also on her cell phone.

MELINDA

(on the phone)
Sorry, honey, but I'm late. Traffic was a chaos today and I don't have a teleporting power. --- Talk to you later. Bye.

She reaches the reception counter.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

(to the receptionist)

Hello. I have a meeting with Mr. Smets. My name is Halliwell.

RECEPTIONIST

I'm sorry, Miss Halliwell, but Mr. Smets just left.

MELINDA

He left? But we had a meeting.

RECEPTIONIST

Well, your meeting was scheduled for half an hour ago.

MELINDA

Yes, but there was too much traffic.

RECEPTIONIST

Sorry, Miss Halliwell, but you'll have to reschedule the meeting. And next time, make sure you get on time, cause Mr. Smets doesn't like to wait.

Melinda rolls her eyes.

MELINDA

(annoyed)

Crap! Mom is gonna kill me.

(takes a really deep breath)

I wish I had a teleporting power!

Melinda heads to the exit.

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS TEMPLE - BLACK ROOM - DAY

Some lights are on. Raina is in there. ON RAINA. She smiles. Davina and another Shadow Witch, DELILAH (looks 30), come in.

RAINA

It is time.

Davina and Delilah exchange glances.

RAINA (CONT'D)

Get everything ready.

(smiles)

They are coming.

Davina and Delilah smile big. Both women leave the room. Raina smiles.

RAINA (CONT'D)

Finally.

ON RAINA. She smiles big.

CUT TO:

EXT. BERKELEY CAMPUS - PARKING LOT - DAY

Prue gets into her car. She slams the car's door. Puts her hands on the steering wheel. She's desperate. Then, out of a sudden, a BLACK SMOKE starts surrounding her. She notices it.

PRUE

(looking at it)

What the hell ---?!

Prue is completely surrounded by the black smoke and once it disappears, she's gone.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL'S - LADIES' ROOM - DAY

No one else is there, but Tamora. She's crying. She looks herself at the mirror. A BLACK SMOKE starts surrounding her. She notices it. She dries her tears.

TAMORA

What ---?!

Tamora is completely surrounded by the black smoke and once it disappears, she's gone just like Prue.

CUT TO:

EXT. MARKETSMETS ADVERTISING & MARKETING - PARKING LOT - DAY

Melinda is talking on the phone as she heads towards her SUV.

MELINDA

--- Mom, I swear I'll book another meeting. --- Yeah, talk to you later. Have fun there.

Melinda hangs off her phone. She puts it inside her bag and starts looking for the car's key.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Damn! Where is it?

Out of a sudden, a BLACK SMOKE starts surrounding Melinda too. She notices. Looks around. No one there. Melinda is completely surrounded by the black smoke and once it disappears, she's gone just like Prue and Tamora.

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS' TEMPLE - SQUARE - DAY

All the Shadows are there reunited.

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS' TEMPLE - BLACK ROOM - DAY

The few lights on let us see black smoke appearing. Once it disappears, the Charmed Ones can be seen. Prue, Melinda and Tamora are there standing. Confused.

PRUE

What the hell?!

They all look around.

PRUE (CONT'D)

What are you girls doing here?

TAMORA

Where is here?

They look around.

MELINDA

Guys, what's going on?

All three are 100% confused. In that moment the door opens. Prue, Melinda and Tamora stare at it. Three women come in. From left to right: Davina, Raina and Delilah.

RAINA

Welcome to our home.

Raina, Davina and Delilah smile. Prue, Melinda and Tamora stare at them, confused.

CUT TO:

EXT. SHADOWS' TEMPLE - DAY (MOMENTS LATER)

The group of Shadows Witches are still there.

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS' TEMPLE - BLACK ROOM - DAY

ON PRUE, MELINDA AND TAMORA.

PRUE

(to Raina)

Mrs. Stables and ---

(to Davina)

Mrs. Stables!

(confused)

I don't understand. How ---

RAINA

Are you here?

Prue nods.

RAINA (CONT'D)

Well, darling, that's simple. Magic.

Prue, Melinda and Tamora exchange glances.

MELINDA

Wait. Magic?

(shocked)

Are you --- ?

DAVINA

Witches?

(smiles)

Yes.

RAINA

But not ordinary witches.

PRUE

I don't understand. Why are we here? Who are you?

RAINA

We are Shadow Witches.

TAMORA

Never heard of.

RAINA

Normal. We've been living in hiding for the last centuries.

PRUE

(serious)

You are the thing that was coming!

It was not a question. Raina smiles.

RAINA

Thing is a rude term for us.

DELILAH

We prefer Shadows.

PRUE

What the hell do you want from us? Wanna kill us to get our powers?

TAMORA

Don't give them ideas.

Raina, Davina and Delilah laugh.

RAINA

Do you think that if we wanted to kill you we wouldn't have done it already?

PRUE

Then, what?

RAINA

(approaches them)

We may have the answers to your problems.

Prue, Melinda and Tamora exchange glances.

RAINA (CONT'D)

If you let us explain to you.

The Charmed Ones and the Shadows stare at one another.

TAMORA

Hell! You know what? I really need to get my mind off my problems. So what's the harm?!

Raina signs to Delilah. Delilah nods, then she signs to Tamora to follow her. Tamora glances at Prue and Melinda and then heads out with Delilah.

MELINDA

(takes a deep breath)

I don't trust you, but you got me interested. So, shall we?

Raina smiles. She signs to Davina. Davina nods.

DAVINA

(smiles)

Come. I'll give you a tour.

Melinda glances at Prue. Then she approaches Davina.

DAVINA (CONT'D)

(cheerful)

Oh, I like your hair. Do you have any secret to keep that way?

MELINDA

Not actually.

Davina smiles. Then Davina and Melinda head out. Raina looks at Prue and Prue looks her back.

RAINA

What about you, Prue?

PRUE

You were responsible for everything that happened the past year?

RAINA

You may say that.

PRUE

One of my sisters almost died.

RAINA

I wouldn't let that happened.

PRUE

(a little furious)

Then why?

RAINA

To make all the strength you’ve got inside show itself.

Prue is serious.

RAINA (CONT'D)

Don't you feel more powerful now? Tell me, Prue, don't you?

PRUE

I'm listening.

RAINA

(smiles victoriously)

Come. I need to show you something.

Raina signs her where to go. Both leave the room.

CUT TO:

EXT. BAY MIRROR - DAY

People coming in and out the building.

CUT TO:

INT. BAY MIRROR - MIRROR'S MAGAZINE - WYATT'S OFFICE - DAY

Wyatt is walking from one side to another. Chris is there just shocked.

CHRIS

Come again!

WYATT

You heard me well.

CHRIS

Did you confirm that we are witches?

WYATT

She knew about magic.

CHRIS

You could have said -- I don't know. You could have pretended you didn't know what she was talking about.

WYATT

(stops)

Sorry, Chris. My shocked face was stronger than me.

CHRIS

Oh, crap! This is bad.

(pauses)

Did you tell Prue?

WYATT

She's not answering the phone.

CHRIS

What do we do?

Both brothers stare at each other.

WYATT

She said that someday she'll need my help.

CHRIS

On what?

WYATT

Wish I knew.

CHRIS

Let's talk to her.

Chris heads to the door.

WYATT

No, Chris. Let's just keep it this way.

CHRIS

Are you kidding me?

WYATT

She won't say a word.

CHRIS

And you believe that?

WYATT

I know she was saying the truth.

Both brothers are concerned.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT TWO

[Prue Brianna Johnna Halliwell]

ACT THREE

FADE IN:

INT. SHADOWS' TEMPLE - PROPHECY ROOM - DAY

There's a font in the center of the room. The font is surrounded by what appears to be three waning moons. It has a black liquid inside. Raina comes in followed by Prue.

PRUE

What is this place?

RAINA

The Prophecy Room.

Prue looks at all the Prophecy Stones in the walls.

PRUE

Are they ---

RAINA

Prophecies, yes.

PRUE

Wow!

(tries to read them)

I don't understand what's written in there.

RAINA

It's a dead language. Only Shadows can read them.

PRUE

(curious)

So, every prophecy that was made, showed up here?

RAINA

Indeed. See that one?

Raina points to one of the stones.

RAINA (CONT'D)

The Twice Blessed Prophecy.

Prue looks at it.

RAINA (CONT'D)

And that other over there.

(points to another)

It's about Camilla and Marcus.

PRUE

(surprised)

Camilla and Marcus?

RAINA

(smiles)

Your first life.

PRUE

(looks at it)

What does it say?

RAINA

'Once Upon a Time, a promise was made. An union was sealed with a wet kiss. From that moment on, they were just one. And through lifetimes and lifetimes, each other they'll find'.

Prue is astonished. She turns to Raina.

PRUE

You said you wanted to explain all this to me. Let's start. You saved Leah last year, didn't you?

Raina nods.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Why?

RAINA

Because it wasn´t the right time for you to destroy her.

PRUE

Why not?

Raina takes a deep breath.

RAINA

Come with me. There's another thing I need to show you.

Raina leaves the room. Prue follows her.

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS' TEMPLE - STONE ROOM - DAY

Raina and Prue come in. The stone is in the center of the room. Raina approaches it followed by Prue.

RAINA

We were humans. Normal women living on Earth. It was the beginning of times. Few of us were part of the first humans. Until the day we were offered to become something else.

Raina looks at Prue.

RAINA (CONT'D)

We like to say that we are as older as time.

PRUE

You seem pretty well to me, considering your age.

Raina smiles.

RAINA

Thank you.

(pauses)

Anyway. The world was stepping out of the right path and the powers above needed to fix it. So they granted us powers. Great powers.

(pauses)

The task was not easy. We tried for centuries to get the world to the initial design, but unsuccessfully.

Raina walks around the stone.

RAINA (CONT'D)

Then, someday we had the idea of inviting to our group someone that, at our eyes, would help us. He was a charming man. He knew how to speak with people ---

FLASHES TO:

INT. SHADOWS' TEMPLE - STONE ROOM - DAY (THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE)

Raina's voice is heard as it's shown Raina and Davina with a young man.

RAINA (V.O.)

He was the perfect person to be part of us and at the same time get humans back to what was first designed for them.

Raina and Davina, along with others Shadows, surround the young man while chanting something.

RAINA (V.O.) (CONT'D)

We didn't know back then that it could be our biggest mistake.

FLASHES BACK TO:

INT. SHADOWS' TEMPLE - STONE ROOM - DAY

Prue listens very carefully.

RAINA

He was corrupted by magic. And stole the essence of our power.

PRUE

(confused)

So, wait. If he stole the essence of your power, how is that you have powers?

RAINA

We have our personal powers, but not the one that allows us to get the world to its right path.

PRUE

Why inviting him? Why didn't you do it by yourselves?

RAINA

Because the world was too corrupted. Humans had wickedness inside. We thought that he, an admired man, could help us.

Raina touches the stone.

RAINA (CONT'D)

We were wrong.

PRUE

What happened to him?

RAINA

He used the essence to grant powers to others. Ever wonder how demons showed up at first?

Prue nods.

RAINA (CONT'D)

That's how. He gave powers to those with a wicked heart. And he was his leader. The most powerful demon that ever walked on Earth.

Raina pauses. Prue realizes something.

PRUE

Wait.

(astonished)

The Source?

Raina nods.

PRUE (CONT'D)

You created The Source?!

RAINA

And that was our biggest mistake.

PRUE

Why didn't you vanquish him? Hell, why did you save his daughter?

RAINA

We created him. We couldn't destroy him.

PRUE

(mad)

Then, why did you save Leah? Why didn't you let us vanquish her the first time?

RAINA

Because you had to learn how to channel the Power of Nine.

PRUE

We were doing that.

RAINA

No. You were not that strong. And yes, you could have vanquished Leah, but The Source's essence, our essence, would find another living body to possess.

PRUE

So, the essence ---

RAINA

It's lost in the Universe. Waiting for us to bring it home.

PRUE

Why don't you do it?

RAINA

(takes a deep breath)

Because we need a powerful source to get it back here.

(pauses)

At first we thought that source was your mother and aunts. But when they vanquished him, the essence found Leah. Who do you think sent the message to them, the Elders, that there was another? Of course, they didn't know where the message was coming from.

Prue stares at Raina.

RAINA (CONT'D)

We did. Then, the powers above decided to pass the Charmed One gene on every generation. And we knew, that the sisters were you.

PRUE

(swallows)

What sisters?

RAINA

A few centuries ago, we received a new prophecy that says that on the second millennium three sisters, able to channel their entire family powers, would help us to get the Essence back.

(pauses)

We thought they were your mother and aunts. But soon, we realized it was you and your cousins.

Prue walks from a side to another.

PRUE

(stops)

You said that you had the answers to my problems.

Raina nods.

PRUE (CONT'D)

What is that answer?

Raina looks serious at Prue.

RAINA

If you three join us, you'll be able to guide humans and other beings to the right path. With us.

(approaches Prue)

Don't you want your sister away from that boy?

Prue looks serious at Raina.

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS' TEMPLE - SQUARE - DAY

Melinda and Davina are there. Melinda looks around.

DAVINA

Don't you want to have powers enough to be 100% independent?

MELINDA

I'm independent.

DAVINA

With more powers, you could do anything.

Melinda looks serious at Davina.

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS' TEMPLE - PROPHECY ROOM - DAY

Delilah and Tamora are there. Tamora looks serious at Delilah.

DELILAH

Don't you want to make him understand that the right time for you two to get married hasn't arrived?

TAMORA

I do, but ---

RAINA

Join us and the world would change.

PRUE

You want to create an Utopia.

RAINA

(smiles)

That was the Avatar's great idea. Their time was after ours.

(assuring)

We just want to get the world back to what it was supposed to be. To what it was designed for.

Prue swallows.

RAINA (CONT'D)

Don't answer me now. Take your time to think.

DAMON

-- I still don't understand. Where have you been?

Melinda puts her bag on the desk.

MELINDA

It' nothing. I just feel bad because I couldn't get on time for the meeting.

Damon approaches her and grabs her face.

DAMON

Honey, it's not your fault.

MELINDA

If I had a teleporting power I ---

DAMON

Hey, you don't need it.

Damon kisses her softly.

MELINDA

You really think I'm good the way I am?

Damon shoots her a look.

DAMON

Of course, you are. What kind of question is that?

Melinda nods.

MELINDA

I just feel off. Just that. Now, let me try to re-schedule the meeting.

Damon kisses her again and leaves the office. Melinda sits at the desk and grabs the phone. She dials a number and waits.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

Hi. -- My name is Melinda Halliwell. I was supposed to have a meeting earlier today with Mr. Smets, but I couldn't get on time. Can I re-booked? -- What? -- Why? --- Three weeks? Are you kidding me, right? --- Fine.

She hangs off the phone.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Crap!

(takes a deep breath)

What if ---

She's thoughtful.

CUT TO:

EXT. BERKELEY - CAMPUS - DAY

Cassandra and J.D. come holding each other's hands and kissing.

PRUE (O.S.)

Cassandra!

Both Cassandra and J.D. turn around and see Prue there.

CASSANDRA

(rolls her eyes)

Prue!

PRUE

We need to talk.

CASSANDRA

I said all I've got to say.

PRUE

Well, I haven't.

Prue glances at J.D.

J.D.

(to Cassandra)

So, is she the powerful one?

Cassandra nods.

PRUE

(mad)

You told him about us?

Cassandra smiles sarcastic.

J.D.

Don't worry, Prue, your secret is safe.

PRUE

(bossy)

Cass, come with me, now.

CASSANDRA

(serious)

No.

PRUE

Cassandra, I'm not asking. Leave him and come with me.

CASSANDRA

(sarcastic)

It's that what you want, sis?

Prue nods. Cassandra smiles sarcastic again.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

Sorry. This time, you won't get what you want.

Cassandra smiles. She grabs J.D.'s hand.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

Let's go, babe.

PRUE

(furious)

Cass ---

Cassandra turns around. J.D. shoots a victorious smile at Prue. Prue is shocked.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Cassandra.

Cassandra and J.D. walk away. Prue seems desperate.

CUT TO:

EXT. POLICE DEPARTMENT – DAY

Police cars parked outside. Some officers are outside the station.

CUT TO:

INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT – MAIN ROOM – DAY

Michael is at his desk working on his computer. Junior comes in followed by Tamora. Both approach Michael desk.

JUNIOR

You’ve got a visitor.

Michael raises his gaze and is open-eyed as he sees Tamora there. He stands.

MICHAEL

(surprised)

Tam? What are you doing here?

TAMORA

We need to talk.

Michael looks at Junior who signs him to go. Michael nods yes to Tamora. He signs her to follow him. Tamora shoots a hopeful smile at Junior. He smiles her back. Both Michael and Tamora leave the room.

CUT TO:

EXT. POLICE DEPARTMENT – DAY

Michael comes out followed by Tamora. A couple of officers look at them and blink at Tamora.

MICHAEL

(to the officers)

Go find something to do!

The officers grimace and walk away. Tamora forces a smile.

MICHAEL (CONT'D)

(rude)

I’m listening.

TAMORA

Mike, please.

MICHAEL

Tam, you took me out of my workplace because you said we need to talk. So, talk.

TAMORA

I just want us to be back to normal.

MICHAEL

Yeah?

Tamora nods.

MICHAEL (CONT'D)

Are you gonna start thinking in a life together?

TAMORA

Why all of the sudden you want to get married?

MICHAEL

Out of a sudden? Tam, I’m 30. I want to have kids. I want to have a wife.

TAMORA

I want all those things too.

MICHAEL

So?

TAMORA

I just don’t want them now.

MICHAEL

(mad)

Well, I want them now.

(pauses)

I need to know if you’re willing to follow that path with me, Tam. But think well, cause there’s not coming back from that.

TAMORA

(takes a deep breath)

Why is so hard for you to understand that it’s not my moment of having those things?

MICHAEL

Then I guess we are not made for each other.

A tear starts running down Tamora’s face.

TAMORA

I love you, Mike.

MICHAEL

Then, take a decision.

Michael enters the police station as Tamora’s tears run faster. The girl seems really sad.

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS’ TEMPLE – STONE ROOM – DAY

Raina is in there just looking at the stone. Davina and Delilah come in.

DAVINA

Raina, for how long will we have to wait?

RAINA

Be patience, Davina.

DAVINA

(sighs)

Oh, I just want to start now.

DELILAH

We have waited for so long.

RAINA

We have indeed. We’ve seen so many eras together.

DELILAH

Yes, I still remember when we were asked to be part of this.

DAVINA

The world was just a baby.

RAINA

Our group has grown through years. We won’t make the same mistakes again.

DELILAH

If they join us.

RAINA

They will.

DAVINA

Why are you so sure of that?

Raina smiles.

RAINA

Because we were they once. We had dreams. We wanted to have control over things and the proposal they made us gave us what we wanted. It didn’t last longer because we trusted him, but we had a purpose. The Powers above trusted us to keep the world in the path that it nwas designed for.

DAVINA

Do you think the Power above still want what they wanted in the beginning?

RAINA

They have to. Look at the world. Men’s heart is full with evil. Demons can walk on Earth and harm humans. We want to protect humanity. So, we’ll prove them we can still get things right.

DELILAH

What if the other beings interfere? Elders, Angels of Destiny ---

RAINA

(cuts her off)

The Angels of Destiny know that it was the World’s destiny to be right.

DELILAH

What if Destiny changed?

RAINA
How can it? Men destiny can change. World’s destiny can’t.

Raina turns.

RAINA (CONT'D)

Humanity will be rightened.

Davina and Delilah exchange glances.

CUT TO BLACK.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – 1º FLOOR CORRIDOR – DAY

Wyatt comes in fast and enters his bedroom.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – WYATT/PRUE’S BEDROOM – DAY

A desolated Prue is sitting on the edge of the bed as Wyatt comes in. She seems off.

WYATT

Love, I finally find you. Where have you been? I’ve been calling you for hours.

Prue doesn’t answer. She looks at him.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Are you OK?

PRUE

(nods no)

It’s Cassandra.

WYATT

What happened to her?

PRUE

(desperate)

It’s that guy she’s been dating. He’s troubles. He’s a witch and she told him who we are.

WYATT

(amazed)

She did what?

PRUE

(desolated)

I don’t know what to do.

Wyatt notices Prue is feeling really bad. The girl covers her face with her hands. Wyatt approaches her and bends down to her level.

WYATT

Honey, we’re gonna fix it, OK? Trust me.

Prue uncovers her face.

PRUE

(nods yes)

I know.

(pauses)

Why were you looking for me?

Wyatt stands. Now, he seems worried.

WYATT

It’s Melissa.

PRUE

(stands; mad now)

What does she want now?

Wyatt is serious and worried at the same time.

WYATT

She knows about us.

The living image of concern is now shown in Prue’s face.

PRUE

When you say she knows about us, you mean ---

Wyatt nods.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(worried)

This is bad.

WYATT

She said she won’t say anything.

PRUE

How could this happen?

WYATT

Honey, I believe she won’t say anything about us.

Prue starts walking from a side to another.

PRUE

We leave for a week and when we come back things are upside down.

WYATT

Hey, honey, calm yourself. It’s gonna be OK.

Prue stops. She looks serious at Wyatt. She seems determined.

PRUE

Yeah, it is.

Prue seems calmer out of a sudden. Wyatt finds her attitude a little weird.

WYATT

Honey ---

Prue looks him in the eyes.

PRUE

Have you ever heard of Shadow Witches?

Wyatt thinks for seconds.

WYATT

I don’t think I have. Why?

PRUE

Remember the thing that was coming and we thought it was Leah?

Wyatt nods yes.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Well, it wasn’t. Not entirely.

WYATT

What are you talking about?

PRUE

All we’ve been through this past year were their doing. To test us.

WYATT

Test us for what? Honey, I don’t understand.

PRUE

To test our power.

Wyatt is becoming desperate.

WYATT

Love, can you please explain to me what are you talking about?

PRUE

(takes a deep breath)

They need us to get the world from wrong to right.

WYATT

(desperate)

Prue, what is it all about?

PRUE

They want to fix the world, Wyatt. And they asked the Charmed Ones to help them.

Wyatt is confused.

PRUE (CONT'D)

And this is all wrong. It needs to be fixed.

WYATT

Wait, Prue. Are you telling me that they are like the Avatars?

PRUE

(nods no)

I don’t think so.

WYATT

Because if they are we need to be careful.

PRUE

If they wanted to hurt us they had lots of opportunities. They want our help.

WYATT

It doesn’t matter what they want. We have to vanquish them.

PRUE

(decided)

NO!

Wyatt approaches Prue.

WYATT

Honey, you are not thinking in ---

Wyatt seems pleading.

PRUE

I have no control over what’s happening, Wyatt. My sister ---

WYATT

I’ll talk to Cass.

PRUE

It won’t work. I’ve been there. I’ve done that. She shot me out.

WYATT

There’s has to be another way, Prue.

PRUE

There’s not.

Wyatt looks serious at Prue.

WYATT

Honey, that’s not you. C’mon!

PRUE

I like to have things under control, Wyatt. Right now, I feel that everything is slipping through my fingers.

WYATT

We’ll find a way. We always do.

Prue kisses him, softly.

PRUE

I’m sorry, love. But this is my decision to make.

Wyatt is astonished. Prue gets apart from him.

WYATT

Prue ---

PRUE

Don’t follow me there. You won’t get through anyway.

That said, Prue BEAMS out. Wyatt is desperate looking at the place she just left.

WYATT

Prue ---

(screams)

PRUE!

Nothing.

WYATT (CONT'D)

PRUE HALLIWELL GET YOUR BUTT RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!

Nothing. He is afraid, worried and desperate.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Damn!

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO – DAY TO NIGHT

Shots of the town at the sound of “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar as the day ends and the night starts.

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS TEMPLE – SQUARE – NIGHT

No Shadow Witches to be seen. Prue comes walking. Melinda comes from her left as Tamora comes from her right. All the girls meet by the fountain which is in the middle of the square.

PRUE

(to Melinda)

How did you get here?

MELINDA

They bought me here.

TAMORA

Have you guys taken a decision?

All three exchange glances.

MELINDA

I have.

(to Tamora)

You?

Tamora nods yes.

RAINA (O.S.)

Care to let us know?

All three girls turn around to face Raina, Davina and Delilah there.

RAINA (CONT'D)

We would love to hear what you have decided.

Melinda steps in front of her cousins.

MELINDA

I’m tired of been just an ordinary witch.

RAINA

(smiles)

You never were just that. But does it mean ---?

MELINDA

(decided)

I’m in.

Raina looks at Tamora.

RAINA

What about you, Tamora?

Tamora glances at her cousins and then steps forward.

TAMORA

I don’t want to lose Michael, but I don’t want to lose myself either. So I’m in too.

Raina glances at Davina and Delilah. All three smile. Then, Raina, Davina and Delilah look at Prue.

RAINA

What about you, Prue?

Prue walks forward.

PRUE

Let’s make this clear.

The Shadows look at her.

PRUE (CONT'D)

You have not an idiot plan like the Avatars once did.

RAINA

(serious)

I told you the Avatars were a joke. Their plan could never work out. We don’t want to destroy humanity. We want to save it.

DAVINA

Yes, it is our duty to get things right.

DELILAH

And light men’s hearts.

Prue looks serious at them.

RAINA

Then, Prue, what’s your decision?

They all look at Prue expecting for her answer.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – CONSERVATORY ROOM – NIGHT

Wyatt is there walking from a side to another. Chris is scrying. Pandora is just there looking at Wyatt. Junior comes in running.

JUNIOR

(tired)

Last time he saw Tam was this afternoon when she went to the police station.

CHRIS

(hopeless)

I can’t find them either.

Damon SHIMMERS in bringing Bianca.

BIANCA

They haven’t been at P3.

DAMON

Neither at Halliwells’. In New Orleans, they aren’t either.

CHRIS

(to Bianca and Damon)

You told mum and dad what’s going on?

Bianca and Damon nod no.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

Good.

WYATT

(screaming)

PRUE!

PANDORA

Maybe she can’t hear you.

JUNIOR

Maybe she doesn’t want to.

Charlotte BEAMS in holding a book.

CHARLOTTE

There’s nothing at Magic School, but I asked some favours to Cupid.

BIANCA

(astonished)

Did you talk to cupid?

CHARLOTTE

No. I asked someone to. We don’t want them to get on the middle of this.

WYATT

(desperate)

What have you found?

CHARLOTTE

(showing them the book)

It says here that Shadow Witches were created in the beginning of times. They were supposed to keep the world right, but men’s heart got corrupted. They failed their mission and were banned to spending eternity regretting for what they did.

CHRIS

What did they do?

CHARLOTTE

Invited a man to their coven. The man became the worst demon that has ever existed. They lost the “Power”.

CHRIS

What power?

Charlotte shrugs.

CHARLOTTE

Maybe a collective power. It doesn’t say. Anyway, they’ve been living among us for thousands of years. Hoping to find a powerful source that would be able to help them get what they lost.

(pauses)

And finally get the world from wrong to right as it was supposed to be since the day it was created.

PANDORA

A powerful source?

They all exchange glances.

WYATT

The Charmed Ones.

JUNIOR

Wait, but aren’t we all together more powerful? We nine have the power of three times three.

CHARLOTTE

Yeah, but the Destined Ones are made of women and men as well as the Twice Bleseed Witches . And Shadows Witches won’t risk to invited a man to their coven again.

WYATT

Besides, the Charmed Ones can channel the Power of Nine by themselves.

Wyatt is truly worried.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Want something more powerful than that?

They all exchange concerned glances.

CUT TO:

INT. SHADOWS’ TEMPLE – SQUARE – NIGHT

They all keep waiting for Prue’s answer. Prue looks Raina in the eyes. Prue takes a deep breath.

PRUE

(determined)

I'm game!

As she hears it, Raina smiles big.

 
That said, the image ---

CUTS TO BLACK.
