TEASER

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO – DAY

Shots all over the town at the sound of ‘All Falls Down’ by Alan Walker ft. Noah Cyrus, Digital Farm Animals.

Several landmarks are shown at the sound of the song in the background.

People in the city live their lives normally.

CUT TO:

EXT. PRESCOTT MANOR – DAY

MUSIC KEEPS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND – The sound slowly lowering.

ON – Two pair o woman high heel boots. They are made of black leather. STOP.

CAMERA SLOWLY MOVES UP – It shows two female bodies. Wearing black outfits. Only their top is from a different color: one wears blue and the other one wears pink. THE CAMERA reaches their faces and ---

BEAT - Peri and Patience are there. Peri wearing the blue top and Patience the pink top.

Both sisters look at each other.

PATIENCE

We are here.

Both look at Prescott Manor.

PERI

It looks lighter!

(pauses)

I just hate it.

PATIENCE

Don’t forget that we came to a time where things haven’t changed yet.

PERI

But they will. We must warn her about the things that happened. Will happen.

PATIENCE

She would know how to stop Jo.

PERI

Let’s knock.

PATIENCE

Knock?

Peri and Patience look at each other.

PATIENCE (CONT'D)

This is our home.

PERI

It isn’t yet.

(pauses)

Let’s go.

Both twins head towards the front door.

CUT TO:

EXT. HALLIWELL / COOP MANOR – DAY

STOCK.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL / COOP MANOR – PRUE’S OLD BEDROOM – DAY

ON JO – She's looking herself in the mirror, but her eyes are not there. She seems distant.

Some voice plays over and over again in her mind.

AISLING (O.S.)

(in Jo’s mind)

There’ll come a time where you may have to sacrifice yourself in order to save us all. 

Jo thinks over and over again and it makes no sense in her mind.

SOUND – A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

It takes Jo out of her thoughts and back to reality.

OFF TO THE DOOR – It opens and Cassandra comes in.

CASSANDRA

Hey!

Jo smiles at her.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

Want some breakfast?

JO

You cooked?!

CASSANDRA

Some eggs and pancakes. That’s all I can cook.

Some distant memory pops into Jo’s mind.

JO

Oh, your pancakes are so good. You used to make me some when I was ---

Cassandra glare brings Jo to reality again. She’s has said too much.

CASSANDRA

Please, don’t stop. I want to know more.

Jo's expression changes to mysterious.

JO

I can’t.

Cassandra comes in and closes the door behind her.

CASSANDRA

You can’t share a memory with no relevance?

JO

It has relevance to me.

CASSANDRA

But means nothing when we want to change the future. So, what if I used to cook pancakes for you?! Would it give you away? You might be a friend of our kids.

Jo glances at Cassandra.

JO

So, you don’t believe I’m family?

CASSANDRA

Look, Jo, I don’t want to bet as everybody else is doing. They think you are someone who I don’t really know if you are. And I don’t care. I don’t want to think that somehow you are my niece and, in the end, find out you are not.

Cassandra approaches Jo.
 

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

Let’s just pretend you are a distant cousin or something until you can reveal who you are.

JO

(smiles)

I like that idea.

CASSANDRA

Thank, God, because I’m hungry. Charlie and Eric are waiting for us.

Cassandra heads to the door and opens it.

JO

You know ---

Cassandra turns to her.

JO (CONT'D)

--- You’ve grown a lot for the past years, and something I can tell you.

(pauses)

You’ll become even wiser.

Cassandra smiles.

CASSANDRA

Let’s hope we don’t change that once we change the future.

Jo smiles. Cassandra waves her to follow. Both of them leave the bedroom.

CUT TO BLACK.

ACT ONE

OVER CREDITS.

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY

Footage all over the now a lot busier town at the sound of ‘Wildest Moments’ by Jessie Ware. It seems like a busy day in San Francisco.

CUT TO:

EXT. PRESCOTT MANOR - DAY

STOCK.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT MANOR - LIBRARY - DAY

ON RUBY - She is staring at something or someone. She is serious and somehow incredulous.

MUSIC FADES OFF.

Behind her is Serena. Also, serious.

SERENA

Do you believe them?

Ruby walks towards the girls in front of her. BEAT - They are Peri and Patience. Ruby glares at them up and down.

RUBY

From the future?

Peri and Patience nod yes.

PERI

Yes.

PATIENCE

We came to warn you.

RUBY

Right.

PATIENCE

You need to stop Jo and help us to get her back to the future.

RUBY

Because she can screw up my plans.

PERI

And some other reasons.

PATIENCE

Look, we are on the same team.

PERI

We only want to take her back and warn you about something.

RUBY

Which is?

Peri and Patience exchange glances. They look back at Ruby.

PATIENCE

Helps us get Jo first.

Ruby stares at them then SHE turns back and stares at Serena.

RUBY

I guess they are saying the truth.

SERENA

How crazy is that? Time travel?

PATIENCE

Actually, it’s forbidden in our time.

PERI

Only one ring still works and that’s how we came here.

Ruby turns to them.

RUBY

Tell me everything I need to know about Jo and then we can stop her.

The twins nod.

CUT TO:

EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR - DAY

ON A CAR - It’s pulled over in front of the Halliwell Manor.

Blanche comes out of it. She stares at the manor.

BLANCHE

(to herself)

You can do this.

She contours the car and heads to the entrance stairs. She stops. Glances at the manor again. She is reluctant.

BLANCHE (CONT'D)

You have a problem, Blanche, and they are the only ones who can help you with that.

One step. Stops. She is vacillating. Takes a deep breath. Her phone beeps with a text. She has a look at it.

BLANCHE (CONT'D)

Saved by the bell.

She glances at the manor one last time before turning back and heading to her car. She enters the car and drives fast out of there.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - PRUE & WYATT’S BEDROOM - DAY

ON CHRISTINA - The baby is on her crib and she is awake. She moves her little hands graciously.

OFF TO PRUE - She comes from the bathroom and walks towards the crib. She stares at her daughter and smiles.

PRUE

I’ve got it.

(pauses)

What do you think of Tina?

OFF TO THE ENTRANCE - Wyatt is standing there.

WYATT

I hate it!

Prue turns to him.

PRUE

You hate Tina?!

WYATT

It reminds me of Tina Turner, and Turner reminds me of ---

PRUE

Cole Turner! You’re right. We hate it.

WYATT

No, it actually reminds me of Conrad Turner.

PRUE

Oh right!

She turns to the baby.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Tina it is.

WYATT

I’m gonna called her P.J.

Prue rolls her eyes.

PRUE

(turns to Wyatt)

I thought you already left for work.

Wyatt walks towards her.

WYATT

I came to kiss you and P.J. goodbye.

PRUE

Tina and I appreciate it.

Wyatt smiles and both kiss each other. Then Wyatt walks towards the crib.

WYATT

What are you guys going to do today?

PRUE

Oh, well, you know. Diapers, breastfeeding, baby crying. You know, that stuff.

Wyatt shoots her a funny look. Then he lowers down and plays with the baby’s hand. The baby smiles at her daddy. Wyatt smiles.

WYATT

I love you both.

PRUE

We love you too.

Wyatt smiles. He kisses his daughter’s forehead and then kisses Prue again. He walks out of the bedroom. Prue stares at her daughter.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Hey, it is between you and me, okay. What we’ll do today, we cannot tell daddy. Not yet.

The baby moans.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I know. I don’t like it either. But we can’t tell him yet. Not until we find more. Okay?

The baby growls. Prue gets the baby out from the crib and holds her close to her chest.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I know. Okay?!

Prue walks out of the bedroom.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - CONSERVATORY ROOM - DAY

ON BABY MATT - He is lying in the baby gym. Bianca is sitting next to it and reading a baby’s book. Prue comes in.

PRUE

Hey.

Bianca raises her glare and looks at Prue.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Doing some reading again?

BIANCA

Well, that’s all that is. I’ve been locked in here for the past weeks. Luckily Matt is a calm baby and gives me no headache otherwise I would go mad.

PRUE

Well, for some unknown reason, demons have stopped their attacks.

Prue puts Christina in the baby gym with Matt.

BIANCA

Reason enough for me to get out and back to the condo.

PRUE

I like to have you and baby Matt in here.

BIANCA

Yeah, but I feel like I’ve in a prison. Chris is driving me crazy. He believes that Siobhan is still out there waiting for the right moment to get to me.

PRUE

Well, she is.

BIANCA

Would you stop living your life just because of that?

Both stare at each other.

PRUE

Definitely not.

Bianca puts the book on the couch and stands.

BIANCA

Thank you. I’m going back home.

PRUE

Chris is not gonna like it.

BIANCA

Don’t care. I need to have my space. It’s too crowded in here.

Prue laughs.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

No, Prue seriously. Have you noticed at night that when Matt stops crying, Christina starts crying?

Prue nods.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

Two babies in the same space, Prue.

The babies in the gym are trying to reach the toys that hang in there.

PRUE

Actually, I cast a spell against sounds in my bedroom, remember? So, I really can't hear Matt crying.

BIANCA

Of course, you did. But I still can hear Christina's crying.

PRUE

I can fix it if you want me to.

BIANCA

It doesn’t matter, I'm moving back to the condo. I need my space.

PRUE

I like to have you here, but I do understand what you mean. Actually, I’m going out.

Bianca is surprised.

BIANCA

You what?

PRUE

(disguises)

I just need Tina and I are in need of some sunlight.

BIANCA

Can I join you?

PRUE

No.

Bianca is surprised at Prue’s answer.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I mean. I just feel like we need a mother and daughter time.

BIANCA

I’m gonna do the same. Can you have a look at them while I get my bag?

PRUE

But ---

Bianca turns around and leaves the room. Prue stares at the babies.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I’m a bad influence on her.

ON THE BABIES - They smile.

CUT TO:

EXT. BAY MIRROR - DAY

People heading into the building.

CUT TO:

INT. BAY MIRROR - MEETING ROOM - DAY

Wyatt, Chris, and some other Bay Mirror’s workers are sitting around the oval table. Phoebe is at the head of the table. She has a serious look on her face. Actually, they all have a serious look on their faces as if the news that was just drop were not that good. At least for them.

WYATT

What exactly are you saying, Aunt Phoebe?

Phoebe takes a deep breath.

PHOEBE

That we were sold.

WYATT

We didn’t even know the Bay Mirror, Mirror’s Magazine all the media that are part of the Bay Mirror group were for selling.

PHOEBE

They weren’t. As Mr. Dean communicated me, he received an offer he couldn’t turn down.

Wyatt and Chris exchange glances.

CHRIS

So, now we are part of Prescott Group.

Dalton (30’s), one of the workers, intervein.

DALTON

That group is taking over San Francisco.

All of them seem unhappy about it.

IRINA

Everybody is selling to them.

NED

Since that woman took over ---

They all look at Ned (30’s) who’s sitting beside Irina (30’s). Ned stands.
 

NED (CONT'D)

--- She’s like the devil.

CHRIS

What do you mean, Ned?

NED

Haven’t you heard her speech? She wants to control the USA.

IRINA

That’s too much, Ned.

NED

(mad)

Too much?

IRINA

She’s just continuing the work of her late husband. 

DALTON

She is buying all San Francisco.

NED

To control us.

(to Phoebe)

Why did Mr. Dean do this to us?

PHOEBE

Ned, ---

NED

He doesn’t care about his workers. Never did.

PHOEBE

That’s not exactly the truth.

NED

Yeah? How many timed did he came to visit us? Since I work here, I’ve never seen him in person. I believe he doesn’t even care.

WYATT

Hey, Ned, slow down. That’s not the point.

CHRIS

Yeah. We all should focus on our new situation. Bay Mirror’s group belongs to Prescott Group. So, what would change? We are one of the bests in San Francisco.

NED

You guys, do what you want. I quit!

Ned takes his things and rushes out of the room quickly. Phoebe is serious.

PHOEBE

We are going to have a meeting with the new owner later today. I hope I can count on you all.

They all exchange glances.

WYATT

Sure, you can, Aunt Phoebe.

Chris agrees. Phoebe smiles at them.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL / COOP MANOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Cassandra, Jo, and Eric are there talking.

ERIC

So, medicine doesn’t develop a lot in the future?

JO

Not exactly. It does, but it’s not for everyone.

CASSANDRA

That’s awful.

JO

Yeah, well, that’s my world. It’s darker. Controlled by those who hold the power.

ERIC

Who are they?

Jo smiles.

JO

I can’t ---

CASSANDRA

(cuts her off)

She can’t tell.

ERIC

But then what’s the point in coming here?

Jo stares at them.

JO

There is someone else behind this evil plan.

Eric and Cassandra exchange glances.

JO (CONT'D)

I don’t know who that someone is. Our memories were erased.

CASSANDRA

So, you mean there’s someone else apart from those who control things in the future? Someone working in the shadows?

Jo nods.

JO

That’s why I came. I thought that maybe here I could change something.

Something is on Cassandra’s mind.

CASSANDRA

The baby’s birth?!

Jo stares at Cassandra.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

I didn’t give it too much importance at the time. I was worried about Prue, but you kept repeating ‘before midnight’.

Jo takes a deep breath.

JO

I thought if that one little event changed ---

ERIC

Domino effect.

They glance at Eric.

JO

Yeah.

OFF TO CHARLOTTE - She comes in a rush holding her phone.

CHARLOTTE

That was Prue. She needs me.

JO

(stands; interested)

What for?

CHARLOTTE

I don’t know. She asked me to find her in Magic School.

JO

She’s leaving the house?!

CASSANDRA

It’s been weeks. She cannot stay inside those four walls forever.

JO

No, but the baby ---

CHARLOTTE

She’s taking little Tina with her.

JO

Tina?

CHARLOTTE

Yeah.

JO

She hates that name.

Jo swallows. Charlotte is about to say something, but Cassandra interrupts.

CASSANDRA

(to Charlotte)

You should go, Charlie.

Charlotte shoots one last look at Jo and then turns to Eric.

CHARLOTTE

I’ll see you later, babe.

ERIC

Yeah.

Eric and Charlotte kiss each other. Then, Charlotte BEAMS out. Cassandra turns to Jo.

CASSANDRA

Why does my niece doesn’t like to be treated by Tina?

ERIC

It’s short for ---

JO

(mad)

She hates it, okay. I hate it!

Jo seems really mad.

JO (CONT'D)

I mean, I ---

ERIC

It’s okay, Jo.

Jo seems shattered.

JO

I should find out what’s Prue up to.

Jo is about to walk out, but ---

OFF TO A DEMON - He FLAMES in.

Jo stares at the demon. Cassandra and Eric turn and see the demon. The demon creates a FIREBALL and throws it against Eric. Cassandra pushes him aside and as the ball is about to hit her, she GRAVITATES and FLOATS in the air a few inches from the floor. The FIREBALL hits the fireplace. Jo WAVES her hand and THROWS the demon TELEKINETICALLY through the air. Cassandra gets back on the floor. Eric stands. The demon stands and as he does, Jo WAVES her hands again moving the demon across the room but this time the demon BLOWS up. Cassandra looks astonished at Jo.

CASSANDRA

You just blew him up.

Jo glances down at her hands.

JO

It’s been years since the last time I used this power.

Cassandra glances at Eric and then back at Jo.

CASSANDRA

Telekinetic Molecular Combustion.

Jo looks at Cassandra. Cassandra’s discovery is obvious. 

JO

I’m not her daughter.

Cassandra and Eric stare at Jo.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT MANOR - LIBRARY - DAY

ON - PERI’S HAND HITTING THE DESK.

Peri is mad.

PERI

One demon is not enough!

Patience, Serena and Ruby are there.

PATIENCE

She will vanquish a demon in the blink of an eye.

PERI

Despite her reluctance in using some of her powers, Jo is one of the most powerful beings from out time.

RUBY

Who is this Jo, anyway?

Peri and Patience exchange glances.

RUBY (CONT'D)

You two just came here saying who you were and saying she was from the future and came to stop me.

SERENA

New information now, darling. Powerful.

RUBY

Right.

(to Peri and Patience)

Who’s her?

Patience steps forward.

PATIENCE

Prue and Wyatt’s first born daughter.

Ruby is surprised.

RUBY

Well, well, well. I didn’t see that coming.

SERENA

So, the girl from the future is a Halliwell.

Peri and Patience nod yes.

PERI

She is more than that.

RUBY

And she shouldn’t be here.

PERI

Some wrong decisions were made then. That’s why we are here.

RUBY

I see.

(out loud)

Jordan!

OFF TO JORDAN - He SHIMMERS in.

JORDAN

The demon was vanquished.

PERI

As expected.

RUBY

Keep sending demons until they get her.

JORDAN

Do you want us to vanquish her?

RUBY

No, we want to send her back to the future.

Jordan nods and SHIMMERS out.

CUT TO BLACK.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

Hi, Tina!

The baby smiles.

PRUE

Let’s get to what matters.

CHARLOTTE

You are not funny, Prue.

ALEX

Her daughter is.

Charlotte and Alex laugh. Charlotte stands.

CHARLOTTE

Are you sure you want to do this?

PRUE

You owe me that.

ALEX

Do what?

Alex stands and looks at Prue.

ALEX (CONT'D)

What are you guys planning?

PRUE

Sorry, Alex, but there’are somethings I cannot tell you.

ALEX

Is it about the Wizard? I know I haven’t been focused on that lately, but I can get back to the Secret Library and keep searching.

PRUE

No.

Alex glances at Prue.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Not today, honey.

Alex glances from Charlotte to Prue. He gives in.

ALEX

I’ll be preparing for the next class.

CHARLOTTE

Okay.

Alex walks out of there. Charlotte turns to Prue.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

What do you hope to find there that we haven’t found yet?

PRUE

Sorry, sis, but I just need you to take me there. My agenda is just mine for now.

CHARLOTTE

So mysterious.

Yeah.

Charlotte motions her to follow. Charlotte walks out followed by Prue who takes the baby’s car.

CUT TO:

INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - SECRET LIBRARY - DAY

Charlotte comes in followed by Prue pushing the baby’s car. As soon as Prue comes in, she gets astonished at what she sees.

PRUE

(amazed)

Oh my God!

CHARLOTTE

Yeah, it’s big.

(stares at Prue)

Good luck.

Prue nods. She keeps glancing around. Charlotte leaves closing the door behind her. Prue parks the baby’s car next to a desk and keeps glancing around. She walks towards the shelves and looks at the books and tomes there.

PRUE

(admiring)

This is unbelievable. My God! There’re books here that I thought wouldn’t exist.

Baby Tina squeals.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Yeah, baby, I know. It’s like we’ve got into a dream. I want a job position here.

There are also objects there and Prue admires them. She approaches some kind of a spear.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Is this the Spear of Destiny? My God!

Prue seems really admired. She glances around. Something calls her attention and she walks towards the cabinet. Inside, an ornamented Golden Egg is seen.

PRUE (CONT'D)

A golden egg?

Prue is truly amazed. She glances around.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Well, I guess I’m gonna need some help to move around here.

LIBRARIAN (O.S.)

Thank God someone requested me!

Prue turns around and in front of her, there is a man. The LIBRARIAN (looks like in his 40s) is a tall and polished man. He wears an elegant grey suit. He is tall and mysterious, but also seems very smart and wise.

Prue stares at him surprised. The Librarian smiles attractively at her.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - CONSERVATORY ROOM - DAY

ON A DEMON FLYING ACROSS THE ROOM - He was thrown by Jo who stands there with her hands raised. Some other demons come inside the room as well as the one she just threw. Cassandra and Melinda are there.

MELINDA

What the hell is going on?

CASSANDRA

That’s why I was trying to tell you.

Demon #2 THROWS an ENERGY BALL at Jo. Melinda FREEZES it as well as the entire room and all three demons.

JO

Thank you.

MELINDA

Where these demons come from?

CASSANDRA

(sarcastic)

The Underworld. Is that a good answer for you?

Melinda shoots her a pointed look.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

We need to stop asking ourselves this kind of questions. They have an obvious answer. And to think that I took a day off for this!

JO

Let’s just vanquish them.

Jo turns to them and WAVES her hands the way she did before. All three demons are THROWN back and BLOW up. Melinda is astonished. Cassandra notices Melinda’s astonished look.

CASSANDRA

Yup.

Jo turns to them.

JO

They are after me.

MELINDA

How can you be so sure?

JO

Didn’t you notice that all three of them were focused on me?

CASSANDRA

Yeah, but they didn’t aim to kill.

SOUND - DOORBELL.

MELINDA

I’ll get the door. Can you guys get that?

Melinda points at the burning mark left by the demons on the floor.

CASSANDRA

On it!

Melinda leaves to get the door while Cassandra leaves towards the kitchen. Jo stares at the marks on the floor.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - MAIN HALL / ENTRANCE - DAY

Melinda walks towards the door and opens it. She seems to be surprised at the visitor.
BEAT. It’s not other than Damon himself. Melinda is speechless.

MELINDA

Damon!

Damon seems surprised too.

DAMON

I didn’t know you were here.

MELINDA

I live here.

DAMON

Right. What I mean is that I thought you would be out by now.

MELINDA

Something came up.

DAMON

I came to see the babies.

Melinda forces a smile.

MELINDA

Sure. Hum ---

(pauses)

Bianca is upstairs packing. She has decided to move back to the condo. And Prue ---

Melinda thinks for seconds.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Well, I don’t really know were Prue and little P.J. went.

DAMON

P.J.?

Melinda smiles.

MELINDA

Oh, well, I can’t call her Jo just yet.

Damon seems surprised.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Right. I haven’t updated you on certain stuff.

They stare at each other.

OFF TO THE STAIRCASE - Bianca comes downstairs.

BIANCA

Who is it?

They turn to Bianca. Bianca smiles as she sees Damon.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

Oh, hello, Damon. Are you here to finally meet Matt?

Melinda signs Damon to come in. He does. Melinda closes the door.

DAMON

I’m sorry, I didn’t come sooner. I’ve been ---

He glances at Melinda. It is notorious that she is the reason he hasn’t been present but tries not to say it out loud.

BIANCA

We understand. Come on. Let’s go meet Matt.

MELINDA

You may want to stay a little bit longer here, B.

BIANCA

Why?

MELINDA

Jo just vanquished three demons.

BIANCA

What else is new in this house. I’m moving back to the condo today. Period.

MELINDA

Does Chris know?

BIANCA

I tried to get in touch with him, but he’s not answering his phone.

(to Damon)

C’mon.

Damon nods. He glances one last time at Melinda who forces a smile and then Damon heads upstairs following Bianca.

OFF TO JO - She comes from the conservatory room.

JO

You still love him.

Melinda looks at Jo.

MELINDA

Don’t be silly. I love Liam.

JO

Sure, you do. So, tell me why I never heard about Liam in my future?

MELINDA

(surprised)

What?

Jo turns around and gets back into the conservatory room. Melinda is astonished.

STOCK.

CUT TO:

INT. WHITMORE MANOR - DINING ROOM - DAY

Sebastian is on the phone. He seems mad.

SEBASTIAN

(on the phone)

I already gave my last word. The company is not for selling.

OFF TO THE ENTRANCE - Tamora walks in and realizes Sebastian is upset.

SEBASTIAN (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

I don’t care about her offer and the fact that I’m not present all the time doesn’t mean I don’t have time to take care of my family’s possessions.

(pauses)

That’s my last word indeed.

Sebastian hangs off the phone.

TAMORA

What’s going on?

Sebastian turns around to face Tamora.

SEBASTIAN

My lawyers. They were trying to convince me to sell my father’s company.

TAMORA

Why?

SEBASTIAN

Because Prescott Group is making a good offer and apparently, I don’t seem interested in the business.

TAMORA

That’s not true. You named a group of people to take care of it on your behalf. 

SEBASTIAN

Yeah, well, apparently that shows that I’m not interested.

TAMORA

The decisions are still yours. How can the say that?

SEBASTIAN

Well, that’s what they think.

Tamora approaches Sebastian and both kiss each other.

TAMORA

What are you going to do?

SEBASTIAN

I’ve been thinking if this life as whitelighter and Sebastian Whitmore is still working.

TAMORA

You are not thinking of taking the fall, are you?

SEBASTIAN

(serious)

Would that be so bad?

(pauses)

I don’t know if I can keep both lives.

TAMORA

But becoming a whitelighter is what brought you back to me.

SEBASTIAN

I know, honey. But think about it. Is it working?

Tamora is serious.

SEBASTIAN (CONT'D)

I’m a full-time whitelighter and a full-time businessman. I’m tired.

TAMORA

I know. But they are both parts of you, honey. Maybe that was your purpose since the day you were born.

(pauses)

To be both, because one can’t exist without the other.

Sebastian is thoughtful.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

Ask for a break to the Elders. A part-time whitelighter job maybe?

Sebastian takes a deep breath and smiles.

SEBASTIAN

That’s why I love you. You calm me.

TAMORA

You are a calm person.

Both smile and kiss each other again.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

I need to go to work. There’s so much I have to do today.

SEBASTIAN

Manager of the Museum, that’s a big thing.

TAMORA

Yeah, and I haven’t gotten used to that. And now things are complicating.

SEBASTIAN

Why?

TAMORA

Because apparently, Prescott Group’s agenda is to own the whole city. The National Museum included.

SEBASTIAN

What? But they can’t. 

TAMORA

They have money. Sure, they can.

Both of them stare at each other seriously.

SEBASTIAN

It’s not right that someone holds so much power.

TAMORA

I do agree.

(thoughtful)

Maybe ---

Tamora stops suddenly.

SEBASTIAN

What? Maybe what?

Sebastian is curious.

TAMORA

I’m just thinking about Jo.

Tamora stares at Sebastian.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

What if ---

(pauses)

--- What if it has to do with all that happens in the future?

(pause)

What if it’s all related?

Both of them stare seriously at each other.

Aisling is by the rock table. Her CRYSTAL BALL is filled with red smoke on it.

ON THE CRYSTAL BALL - An intense red smoke.

Aisling is serious.

OFF JANNES - He SPIRALIZES in.

Aisling raises up her glare at him.

AISLING

Ruby has made a move.

JANNES

What do you mean?

AISLING

She’s plotting against the plan B.

JANNES

Plan B?

Jannes doesn’t understand.

AISLING

Visitors from the future have come.

Jannes is serious.

AISLING (CONT'D)

They are on her side. This can accelerate things.

JANNES

What do you mean?

Aisling stares at the crystal ball.

AISLING

The evil twins. Blood. There so much blood in the future.

(touches the ball)

She is in danger. She can against them, she has it inside. She just needs to find the power, but she can do it alone.

JANNES

(mad)

Who are you talking about?

Aisling looks at Jannes.

AISLING

Jo Halliwell.

JANNES

(confused)

Who?

AISLING

If everything we are trying fails, she is our only salvation.

Aisling approaches Jannes.

AISLING (CONT'D)

You have to help her.

Jannes is serious.

Prue stands there staring at him.

PRUE

The Librarian?

The Librarian nods.

PRUE (CONT'D)

No one ever mentioned there was a librarian in here.

LIBRARIAN

No one ever asked my help. Your husband for example ---

He walks towards Prue.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

--- He spent long nights in here and never cared to asked for the Library’s help.

PRUE

Do you know my husband?

LIBRARIAN

Wyatt Halliwell.

(smiles)

I know everything.

Baby Christina squeals. The Librarian glances at her and smiles.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

Beautiful that little one.

The Librarian approaches a bookcase and takes a book. He opens it.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

I was created to know everything. Think of me as some kind of index of a book.

PRUE

(looks him up and down)

Well, you look nothing like that.

The Librarian smiles sexily.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Sorry, it’s being a long time since ---

(pauses)

--- you know.

LIBRARIAN

I don’t know, but I can imagine. I don’t have the experience most men do, I have the knowledge.

PRUE

What do you mean? Like you never ---

LIBRARIAN

I was created to be here, Prue. I never lived a life outside the Library.

PRUE

(surprised)

Wow.

He smiles.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Who created you?

LIBRARIAN

The Elders.

The Librarian notices the amazed and confused look in Prue’s face.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

Think of me as some sort of Adan.

PRUE

The first man?

LIBRARIAN

I said some sort of.

PRUE

Do you have a name or should I call you the Librarian?

LIBRARIAN

The Librarian is my name.

PRUE

(fake smile)

Sure. The Elders at their best.

The Librarian puts the book back on the bookcase.

LIBRARIAN

Tell me, Prue, what do you need? Are you trying to find more about Jannes? Your husband and the others haven’t found all that there was to find.

PRUE

Really?

The Librarian nods.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Well, actually, right now, I’m more interested in the Red Witch.

The Librarian gets serious.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Have you heard anything about it?

He turns around.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I know I heard it somewhere, I just don’t remember where.

The Librarian turns to Prue.

LIBRARIAN

Why are you looking for her?

PRUE

Well, I’m not looking for her, yet. I just need more information about her.

(pauses)

The future depends on that.

The Librarian is thoughtful.

PRUE (CONT'D)

The look in your face tells me you know more.

He looks at her.

LIBRARIAN

From all dangerous and evil beings that have ever existed, that one was erased. Not her existence, but the memories of her.

PRUE

That’s why she doesn’t appear in normal books.

LIBRARIAN

The only information about her is inside these walls, Prue.

(serious)

Leave the Red Witch where she is. Don’t mess with her.

PRUE

Well, the thing is that apparently, she is the one messing with my World and I need to stop her.

LIBRARIAN

You can’t.

PRUE

That might be true. But at least I need to try to find who can. Not for me.

(pauses)

For her.

Prue points to baby Christina. The Librarian looks at the baby.

ON CHRISTINA - She smiles.

The Librarian looks back at Prue.

LIBRARIAN

Follow me. I’m gonna take you to the forbidden are of this library.

PRUE

And suddenly I feel like I'm in a Harry Potter movie.

The Librarian shoots her a pointed look.

LIBRARIAN

If only you knew the real version of those books.

The Librarian turns around and walks away. Prue approaches the baby car and pulls him following the Librarian.

Ruby is on the phone with someone.

RUBY

(on the phone)

I know. The meeting is up. I’ll be there as soon as possible.

Peri, Patience, and Serena are there staring at Ruby. Patience rolls her eyes. Ruby hangs off the phone and turns to them.

RUBY

I must go.

PERI

(mad)

What?

RUBY

Look, darling. I know you come from the future and I appreciate your help, but I have some business to take care of if I want that future of yours to happen.

PERI

We’re gonna need to talk later about something else.

Ruby stares at them.

RUBY

I still can’t believe you are who you say you are.

PATIENCE

We are saying the truth.

RUBY

Oh, no, I do believe you. I just didn’t know that it would taste so good to see the future before my own eyes.

Peri and Patience exchange glances.

PERI

It hasn’t happened yet, Ruby.

PATIENCE

For that to happen we need to take Jo back to our future and you have to make sure some things won’t happen again.

RUBY

And is it about that some things you want to talk with me later?

Peri and Patience nod.

RUBY (CONT'D)

I like you, girls.

She walks towards them.

RUBY (CONT'D)

If I didn’t know I would say you were my own progeny.

PATIENCE

We are not.

PERI

But you were a pretty good Godmother.

Ruby smiles, then she turns to Serena.

RUBY

(to Serena)

Keep them company and check with Jordan how is it going with the Oracle thing.

Serena nods yes. Then Ruby RED SMOKES out.

SERENA

That’s a power I would love to have.

PATIENCE

She prefers it at the spiralization thing. She said once that spiralization was something that never belonged to her, but to Jannes.

SERENA

Oh, Jannes. Does she ever get to finish him?

PATIENCE

She doesn’t.

PERI

What did she mean with ‘the Oracle thing’?

SERENA

Oh, that’s just someone who’s gonna pay for her betrayal.

Peri and Patience exchange glances.

What do you think of all this?

WYATT

I don’t know, but I don’t like it.

Their phones beep. They have a look at it.

WYATT (CONT'D)

It’s Tam.

CHRIS

Yeah, what is it that she wants?

WYATT

I don’t know, but we need to get over with this meeting.

CHRIS

I don’t really know what she might want to tell us.

WYATT

Maybe her plans for Bay Mirror now that she owns it.

CHRIS

I never like this Ruby LaFontaine.

WYATT

I never cared too much about her.

Both brothers laugh.

OFF TO THE DOORS - They open. Phoebe comes in followed by Ruby herself.

She stares at them all and smiles. Her glance runs to all their unhappy faces. Until she reaches Chris and right after, she looks at Wyatt and holds her glances on him for a few seconds. Seconds enough to bother Wyatt. Chris looks at him.

RUBY

Good afternoon you all.

No one says a word.

RUBY (CONT'D)

I guess you already know the news.

(smiles)

Bay Mirror and the companies that belong to it are now part of Prescott Group.

(pauses)

My late husband’s wishes were to build a whole new San Francisco with services of quality. And that includes the news department. Bay Mirror is a reliable source of news to this town.

(smiles)

And I risk saying that it is to the U.S. as well.

Ruby glances at Phoebe.

RUBY (CONT'D)

Yesterday I was reunited with Mrs. Halliwell and she knows ---

(looks back at them)

--- That my true intentions are to make Bay Mirror bigger than it is.

WYATT

Will there be changes?

Ruby glares at Wyatt and smiles. Wyatt is serious.

RUBY

If you are concerned with your job position, Mr. Halliwell, ---

Wyatt frowns as he ears her saying his name.

RUBY (CONT'D)

--- Know that you have nothing to worry about.

They stare at each other.

RUBY (CONT'D)

If I decide to put someone else in your place, know that it will be because I decided you deserved a higher place.

Both of them keep staring at each other for a few seconds. Then, she turns to the others.

RUBY (CONT'D)

More questions?

Wyatt and Chris exchange glances.

Melissa is at her desk. She is on the phone.

MELISSA

C’mon, J, we are friends. I miss you. Please call me when you get this message.

She hangs off.

OFF THE ENTRANCE - Wyatt, and Chris come in followed by Ruby and Phoebe.

All eyes turn to them.

PHOEBE

And here is where Mirror’s Magazine is made.

Melissa stands and stares at them. Ruby glances around.

RUBY

(smiling)

I must confess I am a big fan of your work. Ask Phoebe column is so good.

PHOEBE

(smiles)

Thank you.

Phoebe, trying to go unnoticed, touches Ruby’s arm. It’s like she was trying to have a premonition, but apparently, nothing happens. Ruby doesn’t notice it.

RUBY

And I still have the magazine’s first number.

(to Wyatt)

Very impressive what you did uncovering the ex-Mayor’s secret business.

WYATT

We did what we could.

RUBY

(smiling)

I bet you did.

Ruby approaches Wyatt and stares up at him.

RUBY (CONT'D)

We’ll do great things together, Mr. Halliwell.

Chris and Phoebe exchange glances.

RUBY (CONT'D)

Now I need to go.

She looks at the others.

RUBY (CONT'D)

There are a few things I must do before going home for my daughter.

CHRIS

Your daughter?

Ruby turns to Chris. She gives him a not so friendly look.

RUBY

Yes, my daughter. Julian’s daughter is the only thing I have left.

PHOEBE

Of course, dear.

And again, Phoebe touches Ruby’s hand trying to give her some support, or so that’s what Phoebe wants her to think. Phoebe is actually trying to get a premonition. Again, nothing. Ruby glances at Phoebe’s hand and then at Phoebe. Then she smiles.

RUBY

We’ll be in touch, ---

(pauses)

--- Phoebe.

Ruby smiles. Then she pulls back her hand, glances one last time at Wyatt and then walks out of the room. Everybody gets back to their tasks. Once she is out, Chris turns to Wyatt.

CHRIS

She was hitting on you.

WYATT

No, she wasn’t. She was just being friendly.

CHRIS

(sarcastic)

Yeah, that’s why you would only get a higher position.

WYATT

Stop it, Chris.

Melissa walks near them.

MELISSA

Is it true?

They look at Melissa.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

We were sold?

PHOEBE

Don’t say it in that way. Bay Mirror was sold.

MELISSA

I don’t like that woman. And what about my article? It’s finished.

PHOEBE

Your article?

MELISSA

It’s about the business she has been making since she took over. A lot of big bosses were replaced by some others. I talked with this former lab manager that told me she was choosing people with a dark heart to run the business.

WYATT

That’s too much.

MELISSA

Is it? She’s been firing people. People who were doing great. And not only just workers. Big bosses. Like she is building her perfect team to rule mayor companies in SF area.

CHRIS

And the U.S.

WYATT

C’mon, guys.

(to Melissa)

That article is not approved.

MELISSA

(dissatisfied)

What?

WYATT

She’s the owner now, Issa.

MELISSA

Oh, that means we have no voice now?

CHRIS

Melissa is right.

PHOEBE

Guys, Wyatt is right. She owns us now.

CHRIS

No one owns us, Aunt Phoebe.

MELISSA

Agree.

Melissa shoots Wyatt a pointed look.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I’ll post it on my blog.

Melissa walks away.

WYATT

She owns a blog?!

Chris nods.

CHRIS

I didn’t like Ruby’s talk.

PHOEBE

I tried to have a premonition from her, but nothing. It’s like there was nothing inside.

WYATT

You guys are overreacting.

CHRIS

Are we?

WYATT

I have to get back to work.

Wyatt walks away and into his office. Phoebe turns to Chris.

PHOEBE

(whispering)

I didn’t have a vision from her, but I didn’t have a good feeling as well.

Both Chris and Phoebe stare at each other.

Eric smiles.

ERIC

BLANCHE

Oh, I don’t know. Sometimes I try to remember and seems like weird stuff happened there.

Blanche smiles. She acts naturally.

BLANCHE

Well, there was nothing weird there for me. I’m used to it.

Her voice sounds higher than normal. Melinda tries to stand. The demons stare at Jo.

DEMON #4

Come with us and no harm will come to them.

JO

You wish!

DEMON #4

We are just trying to help you, witch!

Jo WAVES her hands and sends the demons across the air. Then they BLOW up.

BIANCA

Matt was sleeping

DAMON

I put him to sleep.

Jo and Melinda exchange glances.

JO

That’s someone I know from my future.

Melinda shoots her a look. Jo helps Melinda to stand.

MELINDA

Did you leave Matt alone?

BIANCA

No, Cassandra is with him. What’s happening? How come demons can walk in with all the crystals around.

MELINDA

(painful)

I forgot to charge them with magic.

BIANCA

You what?

DAMON

I didn’t know they had to be charged.

MELINDA

They normally don’t, but crystals can lose his proprieties with time. Especially when used on a 24/7 basis.

Damon and Bianca exchange glances.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

We’ve kept them around the house for the past weeks since the babies were born and I forgot to charge them.

JO

It’s like blessing them.

Melinda shoots Jo a look.

MELINDA

I taught you that, didn’t I?

JO

And you learned from Paige.

MELINDA

Indeed.

Melinda and Jo smile at each other.

DAMON

Well, let’s charge them so demons won’t disturb the baby’s sleep.

MELINDA

We should actually get the others here and fast.

BIANCA

Why?

MELINDA

They are after Jo.

JO

No, Mel.

MELINDA

Yes, Jo. They asked you to go with them. So, someone wants you out of the picture.

BIANCA

It makes sense. She comes from the future and her presence here can change things.

JO

Not that I’ve changed a lot since I arrived.

MELINDA

You are here. That’s a lot of changes.

Melinda holds Jo’s hand.

DAMON

I’ll get the others.

Damon walks out of the attic. Bianca stares at Melinda and Jo.

This room is big. His walls are surrounded with large bookcases full of books. In the center of the room, there is a table.

Prue is sitting. The baby pushchair stroller is next to her. The baby is sleeping. Prue glances around. The Librarian is by a bookcase and takes one of the books.

ON THE BOOK - It is a heavy tome.

The Librarian turns to Prue.

PRUE

Is that it?

The Librarian walks towards the table and puts the book before Prue.

LIBRARIAN

This book is very old.

It really seems very old.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

The only known information about the Red Witch is in here.

Prue opens the book.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

Open it on page 777.

PRUE

(looks up at him)

Seriously?

The Librarian nods. Prue turns back at the book. She starts flipping pages until ---

PRUE (CONT'D)

Page 777.

Prue looks at the page before her.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(reading)

‘The Red Witch’

(pauses)

This is a very old English.

LIBRARIAN

As old as her. Touch the image on the right page, Prue.

ON THE RIGHT PAGE - There is a symbol drawn there. A seven-pointed star with a triquetra in the middle. The start is surrounded by a circle.

Prue touches the image and as soon as she does it, the images gains live and it shines. A lot of colors run the lines like drawing the symbol. Prue is amazed. She pulls back her hand.

ON THE TEXT - The letters shine and suddenly they change to a recent English language.

The Librarian smiles.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

Only a powerful being could be able to do that. I can read it, but that’s because of who I am. Most of those who could are long gone.

PRUE

(reading)

‘On the tenth century, a mortal lady married a wealthy landlord. They were the lords of those lands in the North of the Land of Franks. Soon after, the beautiful lady gave birth to her first child. And the couple couldn’t be happier to receive the fruit of their love. The child was so loved. No parent could love his or her children more than they loved their precious one.’

(pauses)

‘She had pale skin. Paler than snow. Red lips. Redder than blood. Black hair. Blacker as her own soul.’

Prue looks up at the Librarian. He signs her to keep reading.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(reading)

‘Soon they found out that the child they loved was cursed with very powerful magic.’

(not reading)

Magic is not a curse.

LIBRARIAN

There were other times, Prue. Her parents were mortals. People with no magic at all.

Prue looks back at the book.

PRUE

(reading)

‘They kept her locked inside their home for as long as they could while trying to deal with her magic. But they couldn’t keep her there forever. They realized the girl turned mad every time her parents were trying to hid her from the world. One day came where another was born. The parents were afraid that the same thing happened to the younger girl. But this one was the opposite from her older sister.’

(pauses)

‘The pale skin and the blood were the only things they shared. Her hair was blond. Blonder as the sun. Her lips were rose. Pinker as the most beautiful of the roses. And her soul filled with the purest kind of magic. Both of them equals and also the opposite from each other.’

Prue takes a deep breath and keeps reading.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(reading)

‘One was made of light while the other was pure darkness.’

(thinking out loud)

Always darkness.

LIBRARIAN

Before all things we know, there was only darkness.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(reading)

‘Soon, the eldest showed a certain disdain against her sister. Every person in the village was enchanted by the youngest witch. While they feared the eldest. She took revenge on the animals of the forest. Using them to calm her own anger. For years, her parents did everything they could to stop her, but nothing really worked. And she got madder and madder. Until the day she finally took the life of those who gave her life. At the age of seventeen, red lips murderer her own family.’

Prue is astonished.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(reading)

‘But that wasn’t her true intentions. She wanted to end the motive of her unhappiness. Her own sister. But soon she discovered that white was more than her sister. She was her equal.’

(pauses)

‘But she never regretted murdering her parents. She believed they deserved it for preferring one sister to the other. And so, she terrified her own village and neighboring villages. No one could stop her. Wizards were called. She killed them all. Until the day the White Witch, her own sister, who learned all she could about her own magic, returned. The confrontation between both was close. And so, the sisters faced each other on their house, turned into ruins after the destruction caused by red ruby.’

Prue seems very interested in the story. It’s like she can’t stop reading.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(reading)

‘Both fell on that night, but only one defeated the other. White against Red. Good against Evil. Good magic against Magic of Darkness. And evil was defeated on that dark night. And red ruby was locked in a dark tower. Away from the world. Covered by good magic. Away from the human eye. Defeated, she waits for the moment Darkness raises again and she will raise as well. Because evil cannot win while good fulfills the Earth.’

Prue stares at the page.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Is that all?

LIBRARIAN

I’m afraid so.

PRUE

Not a name. Anything else.

Prue seems mad. She keeps staring at the pages.

ON PAGES - The words and the image start shining again with all kind of colors. It stops. Only two colors overlap the others. Red and white.

Prue stares at it. She runs her fingers through the image again.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Red ruby and white.

Prue looks up at the Librarian.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Whoever wrote this gave us the names.

LIBRARIAN

Which are ---?

Prue stands. She paces the room.

PRUE

Red ruby! Ruby red.

She realizes something.

Bianca follows Chris’ glance.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

Are we moving?

BIANCA

I think it’s time for us to get back to the condo, Chris.

CHRIS

We are more protected here. The baby is more protected.

BIANCA

No. You want to keep me here because of what happened with Siobhan and so you think that living here in the Halliwell Manor would keep me safe in case that something like that happens again.

Chris’ look says that she’s right.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

Well, guess what, honey! I was kidnapped from here. So, no, it doesn’t matter where I am, if something has to happen it will.

CHRIS

I’m sorry. It’s just ---

Chris lowers his glance.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

You don’t have powers, B. Now that the baby is born ---

BIANCA

No, babe, I don’t have active powers. I chose not to have them. But I’m still a witch. A Phoenix Witch.

(sure)

And I know how to protect myself. I’m tired of being treated like a poor former witch who has decided to bind her powers so her family wouldn’t be afraid of her.

Chris puts the baby back on the crib.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

Well, I did it because I wasn’t feeling them anymore. But I’m still a Phoenix, Chris, and I know how to fight back without my active powers.

She approaches Chris and holds her face between her hands making him stare eye to eye to her.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

I’m not weak, Chris. I’m a Phoenix and now I’m a Halliwell.

Chris smiles.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

So, we are moving back to the condo and live our lives there as before. We’ll work it out, okay?

Wyatt, Melinda, Charlotte, Cassandra, Tamora, Pandora, Junior, and Demon are there reunited.

WYATT

(mad)

It’s a fail in security, Mel.

MELINDA

I know, okay. I’m mad at myself.

TAMORA

Stop blaming her, Wy. What’s done is done.

WYATT

We have two babies in this house now, Tam. We can’t let this kind of thing happen.

TAMORA

Well, we cannot stop living our lives because of demons. It’s good for the babies to learn to defend themselves.

PANDORA

We’re talking about babies, Tam.

TAMORA

Babies with powers. They have their force field.

WYATT

Still.

OFF TO JO - She comes in from the dining room.

JO

It’s my fault, okay?

Wyatt and Jo stare at each other.

JO (CONT'D)

Those demons are looking for me.

MELINDA

We should go secure the house.

DAMON

I’ll help you.

JO

NO!

They all look at Jo.

JUNIOR

Why not? Are we going to let them come in?

JO

That’s exactly what we are going to do.

(determined)

They are looking for me? Well, they’ll find me.

MELINDA

That’s not a good idea, Jo.

CHARLOTTE

Yeah, if Jannes wants to end you, he will stop at nothing.

CASSANDRA

Are we sure that is Jannes behind this?

WYATT

Who else?

CASSANDRA

(shrugs)

The red hooded figure, maybe.

PANDORA

That was a friend.

TAMORA

We still don’t know that.

OFF TO CHRIS - He comes in followed by Bianca.

CHRIS

I have a plan.

They all look at Chris.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

Let’s fight back. Why hiding inside these walls?

PANDORA

What about the babies?

CHRIS

I’ve taken Matt to mum and dad.

BIANCA

I’ll join you guys.

TAMORA

But ---

BIANCA

No buts. I’m a witch too.

WYATT

(agreeing)

Fine. I’m gonna take P.J. to mum too.

BIANCA

Oh, Prue is not at home and neither P.J. or Tina, whatever you want to call her by.

WYATT

(concerned)

Where is she?

BIANCA

I don’t know. She said she needed some air.

Wyatt gets worried. He takes his phone and starts calling Prue.

ON JO - She lowers her gaze.

ON JO’S WRIST - She closes it as if she is trying to hold her anger inside.

WYATT

She’s not picking up her phone.

(out loud)

PRUE!

Nothing happens.

JUNIOR

You need to calm down, Wyatt.

ON CHARLOTTE - She bites her lips and tries to stay behind.

CASSANDRA

Yeah, It’s Prue. She is probably ---

TAMORA

At P3, maybe. We know she worries too much about it.

WYATT

I’m gonna go look for her.

JO

Of course, you will.

They all turn to Jo.

JO (CONT'D)

She’s the mother of your child after all. She’ll always come first.

Jo’s words come with pain. Melinda and Damon exchange glances.

MELINDA

It’s a good idea, Wyatt. Go looking for Prue. We can handle things here.

DAMON

(to Damon)

I’ll go with you.

Wyatt glances one last time at Jo who looks aside. Then, Wyatt ORBS out. Damon SHIMMERS out after him.

TAMORA

Jo, honey ---

Jo glances at Tamora.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

--- You need to relax. He’s just worried.

JO

I know. I’m sorry, I’m worried too.

MELINDA

We all are.

OFF TO SOME DEMONS SHIMMERING - Like six demons SHIMMER in front of them. They all smile.

DEMON #5

Now the party can start.

They all look at them.

CUT TO:

INT. PRESCOTT MANOR - LIBRARY - DAY

Peri and Patience are pacing the room. Ruby is sitting at her desk. She seems very relaxed. Serena stands before her.

SERENA

These girls are so stressed.

RUBY

I’m not surprised. After all, they are their parents’ daughters.

Ruby smiles. Peri stops and stares at Ruby.

PERI

A bunch of demons? To the house?

RUBY

Don’t you want to take Jo back home?

PERI

We do, but ---

RUBY

Don’t worry, darling. No one will get hurt. They have specific instructions that no one should get hurt.

SERENA

Only the demons themselves. Because you know the Halliwells. They will vanquish those demons in a blink of an eye.

Ruby glances at Serena.

SERENA (CONT'D)

C’mon, honey. Wouldn’t it be the right time for you to do whatever you have to do?

Patience stops.

PATIENCE

She is right. It’s about time.

(to Ruby)

In all the stories you told us about how it all started, it happens soon.

RUBY

Really? 

SERENA

Why? Don’t you have all you need to turn it all into darkness?

Ruby stands. She walks towards the evil twins.

RUBY

Anticipating it could change a lot of things.

PERI

We just want to take Jo with us, but it’s not soon for you to ---

Ruby smiles.

RUBY

I know I was waiting because one of the babies was supposed to be born in a few weeks from now. But now that I think about it, maybe Serena is right.

Serena smiles.

RUBY (CONT'D)

I have it all. I don’t have to wait more I can move to the next part of my plan.

Peri and Patience exchange glances.

RUBY (CONT'D)

It happens now, of course.

(pauses)

What is that thing you need to warn me about? The timing?

PERI

No.

(pauses)

Promissio insolubilia!

Ruby and Serena exchange glances.

SERENA

The Unbreakable Promise!

Ruby stares at the evil twins.

PERI

She’ll break it and she’ll die.

PATIENCE

You’ll need to stop her to do such a stupid thing.

RUBY

Well, we cannot let that happen indeed.

Ruby is serious.

RUBY (CONT'D)

You girls get ready. You are gonna get mummy for me.

Peri and Patience exchange glances.

ON RUBY - She smirks.

RUBY (CONT'D)

Let’s begin!

ON RUBY - Terrifying, but still beautiful. She holds her evil smirk on her pale face.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY TO NIGHT

The sun sets as the moon rises in the sky.

CUT TO:

INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - SECRET LIBRARY - ROOM - NIGHT

Prue paces the place. The Librarian stares at her. The baby is still asleep.

PRUE

How could I be so careless?

LIBRARIAN

You didn’t know.

PRUE

My sister was suspicious of that, Librarian. And I was careless.

LIBRARIAN

Okay, good, you remember where you heard about the Red Witch before. Now, who is she?

Prue stops. She looks at the Librarian.

PRUE

I don’t know.

(thinking)

Red ruby. I don’t know who could have such a name.

LIBRARIAN

I don’t think Red Ruby is a name.

PRUE

No. They were code names.

LIBRARIAN

In what context did your sister come to you talking about the Red Witch?

Prue tries to remember.

PRUE

She was working with this kid.

Prue closes her eyes trying to remember more.

PRUE (CONT'D)

She works for Prescott Group.

(remembers)

The kid. Ivana, I guess.

LIBRARIAN

Good.

PRUE

It was a story her stepmother used to tell her about ---

Prue cuts herself off. The Librarian stares at her. She is thoughtful.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Red ruby!

Prue looks at the Librarian.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Ruby LaFontaine.

The Librarian is admired. He smiles.

LIBRARIAN

You’ve got a name, but are you sure is the right name?

PRUE

(nervous)

I don’t know. It just makes sense in my head.

LIBRARIAN

What about the equal?

Prue thinks.

PRUE

White. The only person named White that comes to my mind is Snow White and my story with Snow White is not good.

The Librarian doesn’t understand.

PRUE (CONT'D)

It’s a Halloween joke. Hum, anyway, White, White. Wait.

Something pops into Prue’s mind. The Librarian smiles.

PRUE (CONT'D)

They were from the land of Franks.

LIBRARIAN

France.

Prue nods.

PRUE

What is the French word for white, Librarian?

LIBRARIAN

Blanc?

Prue nods.

PRUE

If we make blanc a feminine name we’ve got Blanche.

LIBRARIAN

Good job, Prue.

PRUE

She is not just an obstetrician.

(looks at the Librarian)

Is there anything else besides that book that mentions the White Witch and where to find her?

LIBRARIAN

I don’t know about where to find her, but I do know where to find more info about her.

Prue smiles.

CUT TO BLACK.

ACT FIVE

FADE IN:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - CONSERVATORY ROOM / SITTING ROOM - NIGHT

The lights are off. No one is in there. Soon, Tamora and Pandora come running.

TAMORA

Get ready, sis!

Demon #6 comes in. They turn to him. The demon created a FIREBALL and that’s when Pandora WAVES her hands slowing down molecules, using her MOLECULAR DECELERATION power. Tamora smiles.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

Now, my turn.

Tamora WAVES her hands and BURNS the demon up, using her MOLECULAR ACCELERATION power.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

Twin rules.

Both sister smile.

OFF TO MELINDA AND BIANCA - They come in.

MELINDA

Quickly!

Demon #7 comes in and Bianca THROWS them some potions. He blows up.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Where did you get all those potions from?

BIANCA

What? Do you think I can only prepare baby bottles?

They all laugh.

PANDORA

How many demons are still left?

OFF TO CASSANDRA, CHARLOTTE AND JUNIOR - Junior comes in with blood in his arms.

PANDORA (CONT'D)

Are you okay, bro?

JUNIOR

That demon caught me distracted.

PANDORA

You’ve been a little distracted lately.

OFF TO WALL BREAKING - Chris is thrown against the wall and ends up breaking it.
Not thinking twice, Melinda WAVES her hands FREEZING the entire room and so the sitting room.

BIANCA

My God, Chris.

Jo comes into the room and looks at the pair of demons standing in the sitting room.

JO

I’ve got this.

She walks into the sitting room and stares at the demons. The others look at her.

JO (CONT'D)

(whispering to herself)

You can’t have this Halliwell.

And she WAVES her hands with all the strength she’s got, and using TELEKINETIC MOLECULAR COMBUSTIONS, she blows them up. The explosion makes all the furniture to move along the demons. The demons blow up and the furniture is destroyed.

BIANCA

Holly mother of God!

They seem astonished.

CUT TO:

INT MAGIC SCHOOL - SECRET LIBRARY - NIGHT

Prue is reading some other book. The Librarian is holding baby Christina and feeds her with a nursing bottle.

ON BABY CHRISTINA - She seems so peaceful. She has her eyes closed and enjoys the milk.

PRUE

(reading)

‘--- The White Witch has been living in secret ever since the battle against her sister. Hope that she hadn’t to meet her again. She knows that while there’s still good in humanity, her sister cannot win. Evil cannot win.’

(raises her glare)

This book was written centuries after that one.

Prue points to the book where she read the information about the Red Witch.

PRUE (CONT'D)

In the future, the world will turn evil.

LIBRARIAN

The Red Witch wins?

Prue stands.

PRUE

That’s why she turns the world evil. Because evil cannot win while there’s goodness in human’s hearts. She wants revenge against her sister.

LIBRARIAN

But how can she do that?

Prue looks at him.

LIBRARIAN (CONT'D)

Turning the world evil?

PRUE

I don’t know. But one thing I know.

(pauses)

Or better, two. Who they are. I can help Blanche to win again.

LIBRARIAN

You are smart, Prue Halliwell.

Prue smiles.

PRUE

Thank you, for your help, Librarian.

Both smile at each other.

No one else is there.

OFF TO DAMON - He comes from the back.

DAMON

Nothing there.

Wyatt opens his eyes.

WYATT

I can feel her, but very distant.

DAMON

Maybe she is in a place where you are unable to locate her.

WYATT

I don’t know where she may be.

DAMON

Don’t worry. We’ll find her.

Wyatt walks towards Damon.

WYATT

Thank you, bro.

Damon smiles.

DAMON

I’m sorry I haven’t been present for months.

WYATT

You had your reasons.

DAMON

Yeah, well, my thing with your sister was not a good reason to abandon my family.

Wyatt smiles.

WYATT

You know you can count on us, right?

DAMON

I know.

Both hug each other. Then they separate.

DAMON (CONT'D)

Hey, what about that Japanese restaurant downtown?

WYATT

Are you hungry?

DAMON

No, but Prue loves Japanese and she couldn’t eat while pregnant, right?

Wyatt nods.

DAMON (CONT'D)

Maybe she cast an anti-location spell?

WYATT

That sounds like Prue.

Damon smiles.

DAMON

Let’s find out.

Wyatt ORBS out. Damon SHIMMERS out.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERWORLD - DARK WIZARD’S CAVE - NIGHT

Aisling comes in. She walks towards Jannes who is by his altar preparing some potions.

AISLING

She vanquished all the demons.

JANNES

I’ve lost precious hands to that witch.

Jannes turns to face her.

JANNES (CONT'D)

Jo Halliwell?

Aisling swallows.

JANNES (CONT'D)

Why didn’t you tell me before?

AISLING

As I said, she’s the plan B. I had to protect her identity.

JANNES

Don’t hide anything else from me, Oracle. Remember I can look for those who would do anything to put hands on you.

AISLING

Don’t worry. There’re not more relevant things that you should know.

JANNES

You’d better.

Both stare at each other for seconds. Then, she turns to leave the cave.

CUT TO:

Aisling comes walking down the dark tunnels. Suddenly, a flash of blue lights appears from behind her like she was hit by something. She falls on the floor unconscious.

ON JORDAN - He stands there. He just hit Aisling with an ENERGY BALL.

JORDAN

I must thank Ruby often for those powers she helped me get.

He smiles. Jordan lowers down and stares at an unconscious Aisling.

JORDAN (CONT'D)

You shouldn’t have changed sides, Oracle.

(smirks)

Now you’ll know what happens when you mess with the Red Witch.

Jordan puts a hand on Aisling’s back and SHIMMERS out taking her.

I’ve missed you.

MELISSA

I’ve missed you too.

JUNIOR

Can we still be friends?

Melissa smiles big.

MELISSA

I wish for nothing else. What happened between us ---

JUNIOR

--- Let’s not let it screw our relationship. I really love you as a friend and I’ve been in a bad shape for the past weeks ever since.

MELISSA

Friend?

Melissa’s smile banishes from her face but recovers it soon. Despite she didn’t like him calling her a friend, she disguises.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I love you as a friend too and of course, we won’t let a single mistake to screw our friendship.

As he ears her calling what happened between them a mistake, Junior’s expression saddens, but soon he tries to disguise it too.

Oh, these two!

MELISSA (CONT'D)

I just opened a bottle of wine.

JUNIOR

(smiles)

Good. We have a lot to talk about.

Melissa signs him to come in. Then she closes the door after he comes in. Junior enters the living room. Melissa takes a deep breath and then follows him.

So?

I am officially working as a part-time whitelighter.

Tamora smiles and stands.

SEBASTIAN (CONT'D)

They understood that the deal that was made all those years ago when I became a whitelighter had to be honored. 

(smiles)

I am both.

TAMORA

(smiles)

Good because I’m tired of vanquishing demons today and I need my love one to take care of me.

I needed a proper place for the new owners to live in.

Serena smiles.

SERENA

They are not the owners yet, Ruby dear.

RUBY

(looks at Serena)

They will be soon.

They reach the bottom of the stairs and walk towards one heavy door.

RUBY (CONT'D)

All the symbols you’ve drawn there ---

SERENA

Only I have powers inside that room, Ruby. Not even you will be able to walk in using your many powers.

RUBY

Then, I guess you’ll have to come with me.

Serena smiles.

SERENA

With pleasure, my friend.

Serena WAVES her hand and opens the heavy door. Both of them head inside.

Aisling raises up her glance at looks at them.

RUBY

Hope you’re comfortable, dear.

AISLING

What did I do to you, Ruby?

RUBY

You were plotting against me, darling.

AISLING

You still have time to stop all this. None of us will win if you put your plans in motion.

Ruby laughs.

RUBY

Oh, darling, I can assure you that I’ll win. I’ve got some visitors from the future.

Both Ruby and Aisling stare at one another. Then Ruby turns to leave.

The house looks like a mess. Prue looks around and is surprised to see the house that way.

PRUE

What the hell happened here?!

OFF TO JO - She comes from the living room.

JO

(serious)

Where were you?

Prue glances at her.

PRUE

Good, you are here, Future Girl. There some things we must talk about.

JO

(mad)

Where were you?

Jo uses a tone of voice that she never had before. Prue slowly turns at her.

PRUE

Who the hell do you think you are? You have no right to talk to me that way. Much less to inquire me about my whereabouts.

Both stare at each other for moments, then Prue turns to take baby Christina out of the pushchair stroller, when ---

JO

It’s always about you!

Prue is losing her patience. She stands and turns to Jo.

PRUE

Enough!

(pauses)

I know why I don’t like you, but what I don’t know is why you hate me. Tell me, what did I do to you?

Jo lowers her gaze and doesn’t answer. Prue sighs and turns to the baby.

OFF TO MELINDA - She comes in.

MELINDA

Oh, good, Prue. You’re here.

ON JO’S WRISTS - She closes them with rage.

Jo raises her gaze. Her expression is filled with hate.

JO

You took everything from me.

She is really upset. Melinda glances at Jo and gets worried.

MELINDA

Jo, calm down.

JO

(out loud)

NO! I’m done.

Prue turns to face her. Melinda doesn’t think twice and approaches the baby and starts taking her out of the pushchair stroller.

PRUE

(to Jo)

Come again.

JO

You took everything from me, Prue. My family ---

Prue swallows.

JO (CONT'D)

--- My mother.

Tears start running down Jo’s face. Melinda, holding baby Christina in her arms, stands and looks at Jo. Melinda walks out of there taking the baby.

JO (CONT'D)

I hate you because you were never there.

(crying hard)

You were never there at any of my first things.

ON PRUE - She swallows again. Deep down, she knows.

JO (CONT'D)

You were never there when I walked for the first time or when I said my first word.

(cries harder)

You were never there for my first day of school or when I fell in love for the first time. You weren’t there when I needed you the most.

(swallows)

You took my mother from me. You killed her the day you were born. And not happy with that you also killed the only person who was able to fulfill that void.

ON PRUE - Her eyes are red, like thousands of tears want to come out.

PRUE

Who ---

She’s afraid to ask.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Who are you?

Jo cries harder.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(out loud)

WHAT’S YOUR NAME, DAMMIT?!

Jo cries.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Who are you?

Jo swallows and stares strong at Prue.

JO

My name is Prudence ---

Prue takes her hand to her chest.

JO (CONT'D)

--- Christina ---

A tear runs down Prue’s face.

JO (CONT'D)

--- Johanna Halliwell.
