DESTINED

"SICKNESS FROM HELL"

TEASER 

OVER BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR - CONSERVATORY ROOM - NIGHT

Wyatt, Prue, Piper, Junior and Melinda are still there. They are still talking about Bianca. Piper walks from one side to another.

PIPER

I can´t believe this is happening. We thought that once Wyatt was saved from becoming evil, Bianca wouldn´t show up in Chris´ life. 

WYATT

Well, apparently she had to. 

MELINDA

Do you think it was fate? 

WYATT

I don´t know. It might be. 

PRUE

For me, it´s more like an evil plan. 

PIPER

Probably.

(pauses)

We have to get them apart. 

PRUE

Good luck with that. 

Piper looks at Prue.

JUNIOR

True. It seems to me that Chris is hooked on her. 

PIPER

Language! 

JUNIOR

(shrugs)

I meant in love with her. 

PIPER

It can´t be. 

PRUE

It doesn´t matter. He has to know who she really is. 

WYATT

I must agree with Prue. He might be in love with her, but he doesn´t know for real who she is. That changes it all. 

MELINDA

Or not. 

PIPER

It wouldn´t be the first time that a member of this family falls in love with a demon or warlock. 

PRUE

I haven´t. 

WYATT

Me neither. 

MELINDA

Neither have I. 

Junior and Piper exchange glances.

JUNIOR

Yeah, well, for the record, Wyatt and Prue had become evil and they were in love for one another. As for you, Mel, you are dating a Manticore. 

PIPER

Half - manticore. 

JUNIOR

That. 

Wyatt, Prue and Melinda exchange look.

MELINDA

(to Junior)

You got a point, but you got bitten by a vampire. 

JUNIOR

You got a point too. 

PIPER

Kids! Let's focus on Bianca now. 

JUNIOR

So, who´s going to tell Chris that he is dating an assassin witch? 

They all look at each other.

PRUE

I do. 

At that moment, they heard the front door and seconds later, Chris comes in. He sees everybody there. Chris is surprised.

CHRIS

(sarcastic)

Family reunion? 

WYATT

We need to talk to you, Chris. 

Chris looks at Prue.

CHRIS

I think I can imagine about what.

(to Prue)

You made them believe in you, didn´t you? 

PRUE

Chris, listen to me... 

CHRIS

(cuts her off)

Don´t even start talking about Bianca. You don´t know her. 

WYATT

Neither you, Chris. 

CHRIS

(irritated)

I can´t believe this! Bianca is not evil. Period. 

PIPER

Son... 

CHRIS

(cuts Piper off)

No, mom. I love Bianca. She´s a normal person and I love her. 

PIPER

She´s not a normal person. She has powers. You met her before. 

MELINDA

(to Chris)

Your other Chris. 

Chris is astonished.

CHRIS

That´s not true. 

PRUE

She´s a Phoenix Witch, Chris. 

Chris looks at Prue. Both stare at one another.

PRUE (CONT´D)

An assassin witch. I saw it myself. I cast a spell and I went to that reality where she was working for evil Wyatt. 

Chris looks at Wyatt.

CHRIS

I don´t believe it. 

WYATT

It´s serious, Chris. She has an agenda. 

CHRIS

No, she has not. 

JUNIOR

Chris, listen to me... 

Chris is already mad.

CHRIS

Stop, all of you. Prue had made your heads. Bianca is an ordinary person. Just that. 

JUNIOR

Chris, I... 

Prue signs to Junior to stop talking. Chris turns around and it´s about to leave. Prue has something else to say.

PRUE

She has a birthmark, you know? 

Chris stops but doesn´t turn to face them.

PRUE (CONT´D)

Left wrist. The mark of the Phoenixes. 

Chris lowers his gaze and leaves. They hear the front door being slammed. Prue takes a deep breath.

JUNIOR

(to Prue)

Why didn´t you let me talk to him? 

PRUE

He wouldn´t believe. Made up his mind. You heard him. 

WYATT

(to Prue)

Honey, he is blind by that woman.  

PIPER

We have to figure out a way to get them apart. 

Prue sits on a chair.

WYATT

Maybe we should leave it for tonight. 

JUNIOR

Has being a long day. 

PRUE

Whatever. 

PIPER

OK. But for tomorrow, we have to figure out how we´re gonna solve this.

(pauses)

I´m not willing to leave my son in the hands of that woman. I won´t. 

Piper turns around and leaves the room heading to the kitchen. Wyatt approaches Prue.

WYATT

(to Prue)

You really kissed my evil me? 

Prue looks at Wyatt. Junior nods yes.

PRUE

And he was a hell of a kisser. 

Wyatt is open-eyed. Prue gets up.

PRUE (CONT´D)

(to Wyatt)

Just like you. 

Both smile and kiss. Junior and Melinda exchange glances.

It´s just me. 

BIANCA

(whispering)

Why did you text me? 

SIOBHAN

Oh, do you want me to shimmer in the middle of the bedroom when Chris and you are there? 

Bianca signs her to lower her voice.

BIANCA

(whispering)

Not so loud. Chris is still asleep. 

SIOBHAN

(whispering)

Fine. 

BIANCA

(whispering)

What are you doing here? 

SIOBHAN

(whispering)

A new plan is on the move. 

BIANCA

(rolls her eyes)

Another? What´s this time? 

SIOBHAN

Just a thing to keep them busy. 

BIANCA

Why? 

SIOBHAN

Because she said so. 

BIANCA

I´m getting tired of her. 

SIOBHAN

Don´t worry. Soon, she´ll show up.  

BIANCA

What demon is it this time? 

SIOBHAN

One of the Mahlon Demons. 

BIANCA

Never heard of. 

SIOBHAN

They are older as Egypt. Don´t worry. You just have to be there to support your boyfriend. 

Siobhan smiles.

SIOBHAN (CONT´D)

Phoebe is sitting at the kitchen table having coffee. Paige and Piper are sitting across her having coffee too.

PHOEBE

(astonished)

Is that truth? 

Piper nods.

PAIGE

That Bianca? 

PIPER

Do you know any other? 

Paige nods no.

PAIGE

I almost mentioned her to Chris last year. 

PIPER

(surprised)

You did? What would you do something like that? 

PAIGE

It came out. But, don´t worry. I didn´t say anything clear. 

PHOEBE

It doesn´t matter anymore because that woman has shown up. 

PIPER

The question is, what are we going to do? 

PHOEBE

Have you tried to talk to him? 

Piper nods.

PIPER

Last night. Prue cast a spell and she and Junior were able to see for themselves the other reality Chris came from to save Wyatt. 

PHOEBE

(surprised)

And you tell me now? 

PIPER

Oh, don´t worry. Your daughter is fine.

(to Paige)

Your son too. 

Phoebe has a sip of coffee.

PAIGE

I remember that Chris loved her. 

PIPER

(mad)

Paige! I´m not going to let my son in the hands of a Phoenix Witch. She had an agenda before. She might have an agenda now. 

PHOEBE

What if changing that reality, changed Bianca´s future? 

PIPER

I prefer not to take the risk. 

PHOEBE

Why? 

PIPER

Well, what about the power that´s coming? 

PHOEBE

And you think they are the Phoenix Witches? 

PIPER

I just think they might be working with whoever is coming. 

PAIGE

You got a point on that. 

PIPER

We need to figure out what to do and fast. 

Paige nods. Phoebe has another sip of coffee. Piper looks at Phoebe.

I´m really glad you came. I hate to eat alone.

I can come here every day if you´d like. 

Eric smiles.

ERIC

I don´t want you to forget your duties, Miss Halliwell. 

CHARLOTTE

I wouldn´t. 

Eric has a sip of his drink.

CHARLOTTE (CONT´D)

It must be really tiring seeing what you see here. I mean sick people. 

ERIC

Yeah, we don´t have whitelighters working here. 

CHARLOTTE

So you think. 

Eric shoots her a serious look.

ERIC

You think... 

CHARLOTTE

Some of them live undercover. 

ERIC

Good to know. 

Charlotte smiles.

ERIC (CONT´D)

Not, but seriously. I don´t get to see every bad cases that get into the hospital, but the ones I do make me feel powerless, especially when there´s nothing we can do to save them. 

CHARLOTTE

I believe you.  

Eric gets up. Charlotte gets up too.

ERIC

I need to get back to work. 

CHARLOTTE

Me too. 

ERIC

I walk you out. 

Charlotte smiles. Both head to the Cafeteria´s exit. A sexy Egyptian man runs into Charlotte. She loses her balance. The sexy man holds her.

MAHLON DEMON

(to Charlotte)

Are you OK? 

Charlotte recovers her balance.

CHARLOTTE

Sure. Thanks. 

MAHLON DEMON

(smiles sexy)

Sorry. I didn´t see you. 

CHARLOTTE

(smiles)

It´s OK. 

The man keeps walking. Charlotte smiles at Eric. They keep heading to the exit. Charlotte feels dizzy. Eric notices. He holds her.

ERIC

Charlie, are you OK? 

Charlotte looks sick. 

CHARLOTTE

I a... I... 

Charlotte faints in Eric´s arms. Eric tries to wake her up.

ERIC

(worried)

Charlie? Charlie?

(to some nurse)

Bring a gurney fast.

Charlotte is lying on a gurney, unconscious. Some nurses are driving the gurney fast. Eric follows them as he talks with a nurse.

ERIC

(to the nurse)

I want full exams. We need to find out why she fainted and why she´s not waking up. 

NURSE

Sure, Dr. Sullivan. Do you know her family? 

ERIC

I do. 

NURSE

Do you want me to call them? 

Eric stops.

ERIC

No, I can do that. 

NURSE

Dr. Sullivan... 

Eric looks at the nurse.

NURSE (CONT´D)

There´re more. Two other people, a patient and a nurse, fainted half an hour ago. They haven´t woken up. 

ERIC

(worried)

What? 

NURSE

They are still doing exams on them. 

ERIC

Go with her. I´ll be right there. 

Eric takes the opposite way as the nurse follows the gurney.

CUT TO: 

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

The works are done. People are working on the decor and furniture now. Wyatt comes in followed by Prue.

WYATT

(to Prue)

Are you sure that´s a good idea? 

PRUE

Maybe if he sees it he believes it. 

WYATT

First, you need to make him do that. 

PRUE

It´s a shoot. I´m his cousin. He has to believe me. 

WYATT

Tell me something I don´t know.

(looks at the place)

This is getting great. 

PRUE

Are you worried about the way this is looking or about your brother. 

Prue looks to Wyatt.

WYATT

I´m worried about my brother, but I can´t force him to do something he doesn´t want to. 

PRUE

He´s dating a witch. You should be doing something to get them apart. 

WYATT

Yeah, and then he would stop talking to me. 

PRUE

You´re his brother. 

WYATT

Honey, please. We´ll find a solution, OK? I´m working on that. 

PRUE

(surprised)

Are you? 

WYATT

I´m his brother remember.

(approaches her)

Relax. He´ll be fine. 

Chris comes in. He stops as he sees Prue and Wyatt.

CHRIS

(sarcastic; to Prue)

Do you work here now?! 

Prue rolls her eyes.

PRUE

Nop. I was just leaving. 

CHRIS

Good. 

WYATT

Chris, please... 

CHRIS

(cuts Wyatt off)

Not here.  

Chris makes a sign about lot of people around. Wyatt and Prue look at the people.

WYATT

Fine. But we still need to talk. 

Prue´s phone rings. She takes the phone from her pocket and sees who´s calling.

PRUE

(surprised)

It´s Eric. 

Prue looks at Wyatt.

CHRIS

(sarcastic)

Oh, see. Ex-boyfriend in the move. 

Wyatt shoots his brother a look. Prue picks up the phone.

PRUE

(on the phone)

Eric? Hi! --- What´s going on? --- Are you sure? --- When was that? 

Wyatt and Chris notice it´s something serious. Prue gets worried.

PRUE (CONT´D)

(on the phone)

--- No, I´ll do that. --- We´re heading there. 

Prue hangs off the phone. She´s really worried.

WYATT

What is it? 

PRUE

Charlie is at the hospital. 

CHRIS

Is she sick? 

PRUE

I don´t know. She´s unconscious.  

WYATT

Not, for long. We go there and heal her. 

CHRIS

Yeah. 

PRUE

I need to call mom and dad. 

WYATT

We do that in our way there. 

CHRIS

Let´s go. 

All three leave the place as the others keep working.

I´ll take it from here.

The nurse nods and leaves.

PRUE

Where´s Charlotte?

ERIC

She´s inside.

WYATT

What does she have?

We don´t know. Doctor Hoverman is with her inside.

And how is she?

Eric, please, tell me. How is my sister?

ERIC

Prue, I´m sorry. Charlotte is... she´s in a coma.

Prue is shaken. Wyatt hugs Prue.

CHRIS

(to Eric)

But what happened to her?

ERIC

We don´t know. The only thing we´ve figured out so far is that more than 20 people are in a coma too.

WYATT

She´s not the only one?

Eric nods no.

WYATT (CONT´D)

What kind of diseace is?

ERIC

We don´t know exactly.

Mom.

Mrs. Halliwell, I´m so sorry.

PHOEBE

No. Where´s my daughter?

DOCTOR HOVERMAN

Dr. Sullivan...

Dr. Hoverman sees Charlotte´s family there.

ERIC

Doctor, this is Charlotte´s family.

DOCTOR HOVERMAN

I´m so sorry for what´s going on.

CHRIS

We need to see her.

DOCTOR HOVERMAN

I believe that´s not possible. 

COOP

She´s our daughter. We have the right to see her.

WYATT

Please, doc, we need to see her.

Hoverman and Eric exchange glances.

DOCTOR HOVERMAN

Two people at the time.

PHOEBE

Thank you.

DOCTOR HOVERMAN

Now, if you´d excuse me, I need to see the other patients. 

Hoverman walks away.

Eric is explaining to the Halliwells what has happened. They all are sitting, but Prue and Coop.

ERIC

...Visitors, patients and some staff were affected.

LEO

It´s contagious?

ERIC

We don´t think so. I feel good and I was with her.

PIPER

She will be fine. Wyatt will heal Charlotte.

PAIGE

Of course he will. And once he does, we are gonna heal the others.

PIPER

That´s too risky. I still have the last time that something like this happened well present in my mind.

They all look at Piper.

PIPER (CONT´D)

Doctor Williams. Leo healed me and he got obsessed with me and my sisters.

COOP

Well, I´m not going to let anything bad happening to my baby.

PRUE

Nothing bad will happen. Wyatt is healing her.

Prue is clearly upset. She sits down. The whole family is silent. Eric sits beside Prue.

ERIC

(to Prue)

She´ll be fine.

PRUE

What was she doing here?

ERIC

She came to have lunch with me.

Prue smiles.

PRUE

She´s being doing that a lot.

ERIC

Yeah, well, we´re friends.

Prue looks at Eric.

PRUE

I can´t believe this is happening.

Eric holds Prue´s hand.

ERIC

She´ll be fine.

Wyatt comes in. They all stand as they see Wyatt.

PIPER

So?

MELINDA

Is she OK?

Wyatt looks upset.

WYATT

It didn´t work.

They all look at one another.

WYATT (CONT´D)

I tried, but my powers didn´t work on her. My healing power.

TAMORA

Did you lose your powers again?

WYATT

My powers are fine. I tried them. They only don´t work on Charlotte.

COOP

That´s not possible.

PAIGE

You know, maybe that disease requires a few more healers to do that.

CHRIS

I agree with Aunt Paige. We three should go and try.

ERIC

I don´t know if I can let you guys do that.

CHRIS

We need to save her, Eric.

Prue touches Eric´s arm.

PRUE

We need to try everything we can.

Eric looks from Prue to the others.

ERIC

Fine. 

Wyatt, Chris and Paige leave the room. They all are worried.

BIANCA

(mad)

You didn´t tell me he was supposed to infect one of them.

SIOBHAN

Why do you care? One Halliwell down.

BIANCA

This has gone too far.

SIOBHAN

And you are getting softer. You have just become your mother after she left the gang.

BIANCA

Don´t even mention my mother!

SIOBHAN

She was weak. 

BIANCA

Stop it!

SIOBHAN

You stop it. Do your job. Do as you are being told.

Bianca is really mad. She SHIMMERS out.

DARLA

Do you still think she´s the right one for the job.

SIOBHAN

No, I don´t. But she was the chosen one.

DARLA

I still don´t know why.

SIOBHAN

It´s not for you to know. Meanwhile, I have a job for you.

DARLA

Which is...?

SIOBHAN

Go to the hospital and watch them. Just watch them and report everything to me.

Darla nods and shimmers out.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - WAITING ROOM - DAY

The news is not the best. Wyatt and Chris are there.

CHRIS

It doesn´t work. Aunt Paige is there with Aunt Phoebe.

COOP

I need to see my daughter. 

Coop leaves the room. They all look worried.

WYATT

Eric, is there any possibility that we can have a look at the others?

ERIC

What for?

WYATT

I don´t know. Try to save them.

MELINDA

It didn´t work with Charlotte. Do you think it would work with the others?

WYATT

We need to try, OK?

ERIC

(takes a deep breath)

I´ll get you some white robes so no one would be asking questions about you two getting in their rooms.

JUNIOR

Hey, what if we try it all together. I mean, my sisters and I don´t have that power, but we got the gene.

Wyatt and Chris exchange glances.

ERIC

That would be too many people in a room.

WYATT

It´s worth the shot. Let´s do that first and then, we´ll check the others.

Eric takes a deep breath.

ERIC

I'll cover for you.

Eric leaves the room followed by Chris, Junior and the twins. Wyatt and Prue exchange glances and then Wyatt leaves the room after them. Piper approaches to Prue and Cassandra.

MELINDA

(to Leo)

We wait.

Leo puts an arm around Melinda´s shoulder.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - CORRIDORS - DAY (MOMENTS LATER)

Prue is standing against a wall. She is thoughtful. Lost. Worried. A tear runs down her face. The Mahlon Demon approaches her. He´s wearing a doctor´s robe. She obviously doesn´t know who he is.

MAHLON DEMON

Are you relative to one of the patients?

Prue doesn´t look at him. She nods.

MAHLON DEMON (CONT´D)

The numbers are increasing. 

Prue doesn´t look at him yet.

PRUE

I just care about one, right now.

MAHLON DEMON

Miss Halliwell, right?

Prue nods. Reminds not looking at him.

MAHLON DEMON (CONT´D)

We are doing everything we can to save her.

Mahlon is about to touch her, but is interrupted by Bianca´s arrival.

BIANCA

Prue?

The Mahlon Demon looks at Bianca. She looks at him. He walks away. Prue looks at Bianca. Prue passes a hand over her face and dries the tear.

PRUE

What are you doing here?

BIANCA

Chris texted me. How is Charlotte?

PRUE

(choleric)

You have nothing to do with that.

Bianca seems worried.

BIANCA

I just want to know how she is.

PRUE

Really?

BIANCA

Look, I know this is not the best moment, but I´m really sorry about what´s happening.

Bianca looks at the floor. Then looks at Prue.

BIANCA (CONT´D)

Please, tell Chris I came.

Bianca turns around to leave, but...

PRUE

Funny things Phoenix are.

Bianca stops. She turns around and looks at Prue. Bianca swallows.

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - CORRIDORS - DAY

Wyatt and Chris come out from Charlotte´s room followed by Junior and the twins. They are worried.

CHRIS

I don´t know why it didn´t work.

PANDORA

I've been thinking. What if she is not supposed to be saved.

They look at Pandora.

TAMORA

Are you kidding, right? She has to get better.

PANDORA

What if that´s not her destiny? What if saving her causes what Aunt Piper was talking about.

JUNIOR

A witch hunt? Sorry to disappoint you, sis, but we´ve been there already.

PANDORA

Some things happen because they have to.

CHRIS

Charlotte will not... 

Chris is shaken.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

We are going to save her.

PANDORA

I hope so.

Pandora heads to the waiting room.

TAMORA

She is shaken, you know? We all are. I´m gonna check on her.

Tamora heads to the waiting room.

JUNIOR

What about us?

WYATT

What if there´s something behind this?

CHRIS

What? A demon? Oh, please don´t even start saying that Bianca...

WYATT

(cuts him off)

I´m not going to talk about her, now. I mean, the something that´s coming.

CHRIS

Prue thinks is Bianca.

JUNIOR

No, Prue thinks Bianca is working for that something.

CHRIS

(mad)

You too?!

WYATT

Stop it. I´m not saying is Bianca, OK? But what if there´s a demon?

Chris and Junior exchange glances.

CHRIS

That would be normal for us.

WYATT

Yeah, exactly.

All three exchange glances.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - CORRIDORS - DAY

Prue stares at Bianca.

BIANCA

What?

PRUE

The bird. They can rise from their ashes. People can´t.

BIANCA

Yeah, I don´t know anything about Phoenixes.

PRUE

(sarcastic)

Sure you don´t.

CHRIS (O.S)

Bianca?

Chris and Wyatt approach them. Chris kisses Bianca. Wyatt puts an arm around Prue´s shoulders.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

(to Bianca)

What are you doing here?

He looks at Prue.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

(to Prue)

What were you talking about?

Prue is about to answer, but Bianca does it first.

BIANCA

Prue was telling me about Charlotte.

Chris looks at Prue.

PRUE

Yeah, that.

CHRIS

(to Bianca)

Well, honey, I think you should go. I´ll let you know if Charlotte gets better.

Bianca nods.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

I walk you out.

Chris and Bianca walk away. Prue looks at them.

WYATT

What really happened?

PRUE

She knows I know.

WYATT

(surprised)

What?

PRUE

Well, I guess.

(pauses)

My sister?

Wyatt nods no.

WYATT

It didn´t work either.

Wyatt hugs Prue.

PRUE

I´m starting to think, what if this is not scientific causes?

Wyatt looks serious at her.

PRUE (CONT´D)

I know what you´re gonna say. That I´m seeing demons everywhere, but...

WYATT

(cuts her off)

Actually, I agree with you. And so does Chris. We were talking about it.

PRUE

You were?

Wyatt nods.

WYATT

We need to check the other patients. Eric is arranging some robes for us.

PRUE

Good. Better to kick a demon ass than fighting against science. 

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - WAITING ROOM - DAY

Piper, Leo, Melinda, Junior, Paige, Pandora, Tamora are there. Henry comes in.

HENRY

I came as soon as possible.

PAIGE

(stands)

Honey!

Paige approaches her husband and kisses him.

HENRY

How is she?

PIPER

No one knows what she has.

LEO

There´re a lot of people infected with whatever has infected her.

HENRY

Have you guys tried healing her?

TAMORA

We did, dad, but it didn´t work.

HENRY

Why?

PAIGE

We don´t know, honey.

HENRY

Can we see her?

PIPER

Phoebe, Coop and Cass are inside. We cannot drive attention to us.

HENRY

What if the doctors can´t save her?

PRUE (O.S.)

Then, we´re gonna kick some demon´s ass.

Prue comes in.

TAMORA

What?

MELINDA

Do you think a demon is behind this?

JUNIOR

Chris and Wyatt does.

PRUE

And I do too.

PANDORA

Then, how do we know for sure?

PRUE

Wyatt and Chris went to see the other patients. They want to see if there´s anything out of normal.

TAMORA

Does Charlotte has anything out of normal?

MELINDA

Besides the disease, you mean?

Tamora nods.

PRUE

It doesn´t look like. I´m going to see her.

Prue leaves the room.

PANDORA

A demon is OK, right? If we vanquish the demon, Charlotte will be fine, right?

They all look at Pandora.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - BEDROOM - DAY

Phoebe is sitting next her daughter´s bed. Cassandra and Coop are sitting on a couch looking at Charlotte. Prue comes in. They look at her.

PRUE

How is she?

Prue approaches her sister´s bed.

CASSANDRA

Same. She hasn´t move. Looks like...

PHOEBE

(cuts her off)

Asleep. She looks asleep.

Prue grabs Charlotte´s hand.

COOP

Did the doctors say anything else?

PRUE

Only that there´s more people infected.

PHOEBE

This is like a plague.

CASSANDRA

And Charlotte was caught in the middle.

Prue looks at Cassandra.

PRUE

Yeah, she was.

Prue looks at Charlotte as she holds her hand.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - CORRIDORS - DAY

Eric, Wyatt and Chris, all three wearing white robes, come walking down the corridor.

ERIC

In every single room is a patient in a coma just like Charlie.

CHRIS

Thanks for helping us, Eric.

ERIC

I just hope that you figure out what´s going on.

WYATT

You really care about her, don´t you?

Eric swallows.

ERIC

She´s my friend.

Eric walks away from them.

WYATT

Let´s do this.

Both brothers get into a room. Pretty close from them, Darla watches them.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - NIGHT

The night has already covered the town. Lights start turning on. The Golden Gate Bridge is being covered with the fog that has already started to form.

CUT TO:

INT. BIANCA´S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Bianca comes in. She sits down on the couch. She looks sad. She opens her bag and takes out her Book of Shadows. She looks at it and touches its cover.

BIANCA

(to herself)

Sorry, Mom. I haven´t done what you asked me to.

A tear runs down Bianca´s face.

BIANCA (CONT´D)

But I´ll manage to undo what I´ve done. I´ll make it right.

Bianca dries her tear and opens the book.

CLOSE UP: PAGE: How to Cover The Birthmark and Reversal Spell.

Bianca looks at her wrist. There´s not birthmark in there.

BIANCA (CONT´D)

It´s time to tell everything to the man I love.

(pauses)

He has to know who I am.

Bianca closes her eyes and then opens them again. She looks at the page in the book and takes a deep breath.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - NIGHT

Some ambulances are leaving while some others arrive.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - BEDROOM - NIGHT

A male patient is lying on a bed. Chris comes in followed by Wyatt.

CHRIS

Just one more.

WYATT

This is the fifth patient we´ve seen, Chris. I´m starting to think that this is not demons´ job.

CHRIS

There must be something.

WYATT

Fine.

Chris looks at the patient. He studies each visible part of the man. Chris looks like he´s having an idea.

CHRIS

Help me here.

Chris approaches the windows. He starts closing the curtains.

WYATT

What?

CHRIS

The curtains. We need the room dark.

Wyatt and Chris close the curtains. Just the machines´ light are one.

WYATT

What´s this about?

CHRIS

I´ve been watching that CSI show lately.

WYATT

Oh, and now you want to take fingerprints?

Chris looks again at the man lying on the bed. He walks from a side to another of the bed looking at the man.

CHRIS

Better.

Chris smiles.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

The proof of the crime.

Chris points to the man´s arm. Wyatt looks at it.

CLOSE UP: MAN´S ARM - Fluorescent mark. A grasshopper.

The mark is like a tattoo. The mark has the shape of a grasshopper.

WYATT

(surprised)

Is that...

CHRIS

A grasshopper.

WYATT

What´s does it mean?

CHRIS

No idea, but I beg Charlotte has one too.

Wyatt looks at Chris.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

Call Prue and ask her to check.

Wyatt nods.

CUT TO BLACK.

END OF ACT THREE

ACT FOUR

FADE IN:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO´S MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - BEDROOM - NIGHT

Phoebe, Coop and Cassandra are still there as well as Prue who´s on the Phone?

PRUE

(on the phone)

What??? --- What for? --- OK, wait a sec.

(to the others)

Can someone close the curtains, please?

CASSANDRA

What for?

PRUE

Just do it.

Coop and Cassandra do it. The room gets darker.

PRUE (CONT´D)

(on the phone)

Done. Now what? --- Her arm? Fine.

Prue looks at her sister´s right arm and there it is the mark. A grasshopper.

PRUE (CONT´D)

What the hell?!

Coop, Phoebe and Cassandra look at Charlotte´s arm.

PHOEBE

What is that?

COOP

It looks like a grasshopper.

PRUE

(on the phone)

Yes, she has it. 

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - BEDROOM - NIGHT

Wyatt hangs off the phone.

WYATT

Charlie has one too.

The patient starts convulsing. Wyatt and Chris look at him.

CHRIS

What´s going on?

The machine starts making some noises. Soon, some nurses come in. Doctor Hoverman comes in too. They approach the patient and barely notice Wyatt and Chris. Chris knocks Wyatt´s shoulder signing for them to leave.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - CORRIDORS - NIGHT

Wyatt and Chris come down the corridor as they take off the robes.

WYATT

I don´t recognize the symbol.

CHRIS

It´s Egyptian. I´m almost sure.

WYATT

Well, I´m sure we won´t find it in the Book of Shadows.

CHRIS

Magic School.

Both enter in a room and the next thing that can be seen is a blue light from the bottom of the door.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - BEDROOM - NIGHT

Prue is talking to her parents and sister.

PHOEBE

(shocked)

A demon? Are you sure?

PRUE

I am now.

PHOEBE

I´m gonna kick his ass!

COOP

Phoebe...

PHOEBE

It´s my daughter!

PRUE

Mom, Wyatt and Chris are on it.

PHOEBE

If something happens to my daughter...

Phoebe doesn´t finish the sentence. Coop hugs his wife. Cassandra approaches Prue.

CASSANDRA

I would love to kick his ass too.

Both look at Charlotte. At that moment, Piper and Paige come in followed by Eric. They have a weird look on their faces. Phoebe, Coop, Prue and Cassandra look at them.

PRUE

What´s going on?

ERIC

Something happened.

PHOEBE

What?

ERIC

The first man who felt sick is dead.

All their faces get even sadder.

PIPER

It doesn´t mean it will happen the same with... with...

Piper looks at Charlotte. Paige holds Piper´s hand.

PAIGE

Chris called. They are trying to find the demon who is behind this.

ERIC

I hope they run because Charlotte was the third to fall sick.

Prue closes her eyes. When she opens them, they´re red as blood.

PRUE

Nothing is going to happen to Charlotte. She´ll be fine.

Eric nods.

CUT TO:

INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - LIBRARY / MAIN HALL - NIGHT

Only Wyatt and Chris are there. Each with a book.

WYATT

Got it. Grasshoppers were one of the ten plagues of Egypt. 

CHRIS

That I know.

WYATT

What do plagues have to do with what´s going on?

CHRIS

Well, like it or not this is a plague. It spread for the whole hospital.

Chris turns a page.

WYATT

(reading from the book)

It says here that high priests believed that some demons were born from the plagues.

Chris turns another page.

CHRIS

Really?

Wyatt nods. Chris lands the book and approaches another bookcase. He looks at the books. He finds a book and starts turning pages.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

(finds something)

Got it!

Wyatt looks at him.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

(reading)

Ancient demons that have been inactive for the past centuries.

(looks at Wyatt)

Mahlon demons.

WYATT

Are you sure?

CHRIS

They were born from the plagues of Egypt. 

WYATT

How does he looks like?

Chris closes the book.

CHRIS

That, bro, it´s up to us to find out.

WYATT

How?

CHRIS

With the Power of Nine, of course.

Wyatt is confused. Chris smiles.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - BEDROOM - DAY

Phoebe and Coop are by Charlotte´s bed. She looks pale. Prue and Cassandra are by a window, talking.

CASSANDRA

(whispering)

Why are they taking so long?

Prue doesn´t answer.

CASSANDRA (CONT´D)

Prue...

PRUE

(cuts her off)

We won´t let it happen.

A tear runs down Cassandra´s face.

CASSANDRA

Why magic can´t heal her?

PRUE

(looks at her)

Because, despite all, we are still humans. And some humans´ things have no magic solution. Lucky us that there´s magic involve.

Cassandra looks at her sister.

CASSANDRA

And we are also magical.

Prue nods. Wyatt and Chris come in followed by Eric.

WYATT

We got it.

PHOEBE

You know who´s behind this?

CHRIS

Kind of.

WYATT

We know what kind of demon. We don´t know how he looks like.

CHRIS

But we can find out.

PRUE

How?

CHRIS

Using the Power of Nine.

COOP

How? If you don´t know how he looks...

CHRIS

Don´t worry, Uncle Coop. I know what I´m doing.

PRUE

I don´t understand how using the Power of Nine would help us find out how the demon looks like.

CHRIS

I´ve been searching new ways to combine our powers. New ways to use the Power of Nine.

(to Prue)

Since you told me about the way you vanquished Leah in the future, I can´t get off my mind that we can do more with the Power of Nine.

PRUE

(sarcastic)

Oh, you had time for that even with your girlfriend around?

CHRIS

I´m just gonna pretend you didn´t say that.

WYATT

Guys!

Phoebe, Coop and Cassandra notice the tension between them.

PHOEBE

(to Chris and Prue)

What´s going on between you two?

WYATT

Nothing that matters now, Aunt Phoebe.

Chris takes a deep breath.

CHRIS

Anyway, I think I know how to find out who the demon is.

(to Eric)

We are gonna need an empty room.

Eric looks at them.

ERIC

Well, You can use mine office, I guess.

CHRIS

Great.

(to Wyatt and his cousins)

Let´s go.

Chris heads out followed by Cassandra. Prue approaches Eric.

PRUE

Take well care of my sister.

Eric takes Prue´s hand.

ERIC

I will.

Wyatt holds Prue´s hand and both head out too. Coop hugs Phoebe. Eric approaches Charlotte´s bed and looks at her.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - ERIC´S OFFICE - DAY

Prue comes in followed by Wyatt, Chris, Melinda, Cassandra, Tamora, Pandora and Junior.

MELINDA

OK, so here we are. What do we have to do?

CHRIS

We must form a round.

TAMORA

Kind of complicated here, don´t you think? The office has some furniture in the way of eight people making a circle.

CHRIS

Then, we move away the furniture.

Chris waves his hand and moves slowly the desk and chairs to a corner.

TAMORA

That´s more I like it.

They start forming a circle. Chris commands the operation.

CHRIS

Prue and Wyatt in the middle of the circle.

PRUE

What for?

CHRIS

You´re the powerful ones, remember?

WYATT

Inferiority complex now, Chris?

CHRIS

You wish!

(pauses)

Anyway, Prue has the premonition power and that plus the Power of Nine will help us to see the one we´re looking for.

MELINDA

How will it work? We are eight.

CHRIS

Charlotte is still alive, OK? So no matter where her body is, her soul is here.

They look one another.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

This is magic of light, guys. It will work.

Wyatt and Prue get in the middle of the circle.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

(to Wyatt and Prue)

Hold your hands.

Wyatt and Prue do it.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

Now, let´s focus on what we want.

All of them close their eyes and concentrate. Soon, a white light fades in their hands and it shines more and more.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - BEDROOM - NIGHT

Charlotte´s hands shine more and more too. Eric is surprised looking at it as well as Phoebe, Coop, Piper, Leo, Paige and Henry.

ERIC

What´s that?

PIPER

That? That´s the Power of Nine working.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - ERIC´S OFFICE - NIGHT

The shiny light fades off. The Destined Ones open their eyes.

MELINDA

Now we know who he is.

CASSANDRA

If I wasn´t so worried about my sister I would be jumping happy because of what we just did.

PRUE

Celebrations later. Let´s go vanquish this son a bitch.

JUNIOR

Question now, it´s how?

WYATT

There´s not a spell or potion to vanquish him.

PANDORA

Then?

CHRIS

Guys, we do it the same way we just saw who he was.

WYATT

Combining our powers.

PRUE

This is magic of light, right?

Chris nods.

PRUE (CONT´D)

What are we waiting for?!

Prue and Chris share and accomplish look. Then, both them look at Wyatt who smiles.

WYATT

Let´s go.

They head to the door. Before leaving, Tamora looks at the furniture out of place.

TAMORA

Someone will have to take care of that later.

They all leave.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - CORRIDORS - NIGHT

The Mahlon Demon, wearing a doctor´s white robe, walks down the corridor. From the opposite side, the eight Destined Ones come walking. The Mahlon demon looks at them. The Destined Ones stop as they see him.

That´s him.

The Mahlon Demon turns around and walks fast.

WYATT

Let´s go.

They head to where the demon ran to.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - MORGUE ROOM - NIGHT

The Mahlon Demon comes in and closes the door behind him. He looks around.

MAHLON DEMON

I need to get out of here.

The doors fly open. The Destined Ones come in. Prue, Wyatt and Chris in the middle.

WYATT

You have nowhere to run, demon.

MAHLON DEMON

So you think.

Before the demon could do anything, Prue and Junior use CRYOKINESIS and throw the icy ball towards the demon´s feet. The demon looks at his feet.

PRUE

In case you were thinking of leaving.

JUNIOR

Yeah. And I might become a Snow King sometime in the future.

Prue and Junior exchange accomplished glances.

MAHLON DEMON

You can try, but I can´t be vanquished.

The demon smiles.

WYATT

So you think.

The smile banishes from the demon´s face.

CHRIS

Let´s do this.

PRUE

(to the demon)

Next time, think twice before you try to hurt a Destined One.

WYATT

There won´t be a next time.

CHRIS

Let´s do it.

They all close their eyes and focus. The demon looks at them. He can´t escape. From the Destined Ones´ hands come a shiny white light. the light takes its way towards the demon. It hits the demon who screams in pain. His skin fades away little by little. Soon he becomes a skeleton. And finally, he turns into dust. The light fades away.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - BEDROOM - NIGHT

Charlotte springs up into a sitting position. Her parents, uncles and aunts as well as Eric look surprised at her.

PHOEBE

CASSANDRA

It was great. I felt great.

They all look surprised at Cassandra.

CASSANDRA (CONT´D)

What? I really did!

PRUE

It was great indeed. But now, my sister.

They head out of the room. Darla, who was hiding, comes out from a morgue bed. She looks around.

DARLA

(to herself)

Siobhan won´t be pleased.

Darla shimmers out.

Dr. Hoverman looks at Eric.

DOCTOR HOVERMAN (CONT´D)

We still don´t know what really happened, but I´m glad it´s over now.

Hoverman smiles and leaves the office.

ERIC

He won´t forget this.

PRUE

Do you think he suspects anything?

ERIC

I don´t think so. 

CHRIS

The other patients are OK now?

ERIC

They are.

CHRIS

Great this is over. I thought Charlotte was lost.

(pauses)

Well, if you´d excuse me, I need to call Bianca to tell her that everything ended OK.

Prue rolls her eyes. Chris leaves the office.

PRUE

I´m getting tired of that witch.

ERIC

What witch?

WYATT

Bianca.

ERIC

Chris´ girlfriend?

Wyatt nods.

ERIC (CONT´D)

And by the looks on your faces I guess she´s not up to nothing good.

WYATT

She´s not.

PRUE

Family meeting, ASAP.

(to Eric)

Thank you for taking care of my sister.

ERIC

I did nothing.

Prue approaches him and hugs him.

PRUE

You were there.

They smile at one another. Prue heads out. Wyatt and Eric shake hands.

WYATT

(smiles)

Thank you.

Wyatt is about to leave, but Eric stops him.

Hey, Wyatt, huh, I will be invited, right?

INT. PHOENIXES´ HEADQUARTER - ROOM - NIGHT

Darla is reporting to Siobhan what happened in the hospital.

DARLA

... And in a blink of an eye, he was gone.

SIOBHAN

That´s impossible. No one has ever done that. There´s not even a known way to do it.

DARLA

(shrugs)

Well, they did. A shiny white light came out of their hands and hit the demon vanquishing him. I never saw that kind o magic before.

Siobhan walks around worried.

SIOBHAN

She won´t like it at all.

Darla and Siobhan exchange a worried look.

Packing?

CHARLOTTE

Yes. Doctor Hoverman discharged me.

ERIC

Yeah, I know. 

He approaches her.

ERIC (CONT´D)

You really scared us.

Charlotte looks at him.

CHARLOTTE

Yeah, sorry about that.

Both smile.

CHARLOTTE (CONT´D)

I heard that you did everything you could to save me.

ERIC

Well, yeah. I wish I could do more, but I don´t have magic.

Both smile.

CHARLOTTE

Thank you.

ERIC

You don´t need to thank me. That´s what friends are for.

Charlotte forces a smile. She lowers her gaze.

CHARLOTTE

Eric, I...

She looks at him.

CHARLOTTE (CONT´D)

I...

Charlotte can´t finish her sentence. She runs towards him and kisses him. Eric has no time to react. The kiss last a few seconds and then they look each other. Eric looks astonished as Charlotte looks surprised.

ERIC

Huh...

CHARLOTTE

(cuts him off)

I need to go.

She takes her suitcase quickly and runs out of the room as Eric looks astonished as she leaves.

ERIC

(to himself)

What was that?!

CUT TO:

INT. BIANCA´S CONDO - ENTRANCE HALL - NIGHT

Bianca opens the door. Chris is there.

BIANCA

(surprised)

Chris!

CHRIS

Babe, my cousin is fine.

Bianca forces a smile.

BIANCA

(smiles)

That´s great.

CHRIS

Sorry, I didn´t come earlier, but I had some things to do.

BIANCA

It´s OK. You had to spend time with your family after what happened. It must have been desperate to see your cousin ill.

CHRIS

It really was. We thought she could...

He doesn´t finish the sentence.

CHRIS (CONT´D)

But everything is fine now.

BIANCA

I´m glad.

They kiss and then they look at each other. Bianca looks a little blue.

Babe, are you feeling OK?

Everybody is reunited there, but Prue and Wyatt.

PANDORA

Can someone tell us why we are here?

MELINDA

You´ll know it soon.

Wyatt and Prue come in.

TAMORA

Finally.

PANDORA

No, Chris is not here, yet.

Tamora rolls her eyes.

TAMORA

The reason why we are for this family meeting better be good. I had to cancel on Mike.

PRUE

It is.

WYATT

We thought is about time we talk about the warning the Elders gave us.

CASSANDRA

About the evil thing that is coming?

Wyatt nods.

COOP

I thought we agreed to move on with our lives until we find out what it is.

MELINDA

We did.

PHOEBE

Shouldn´t we wait for Chris to talk about this.

PRUE

No, we shouldn't.

Phoebe, Coop, Paige, Henry, Leo, the twins, Cassandra and Charlotte exchange confused looks.

PHOEBE

Why?

PRUE

I think we should better start from the beginning. 

PAIGE

The message and who delivered it?

PHOEBE

The Elders sent it.

TAMORA

Through a mysterious messenger.

WYATT

I think that´s not important.

PRUE

Actually it is.

Wyatt looks at Prue. Prue looks at her sisters. Charlotte and Cassandra exchange glances and then both nod yes to Prue. Prue looks at Piper and she nods yes too. Prue looks at her mother.

PRUE (CONT´D)

The Elders sent Cole.

Phoebe looks at her daughter. Her face becomes serious.

PHOEBE

What Cole?

PRUE

That Cole. Cole Turner.

PHOEBE

(stands)

What?

CHARLOTTE

Mom, he was a spirit. 

PHOEBE

(to Charlotte)

You knew him?

Charlotte nods.

PRUE

He was sent by the Elders, mom, and honestly that doesn´t matter. He delivered the message and help me and my sisters to get you and dad together again.

Phoebe and Coop exchange glances.

PHOEBE

Is he really gone?

Prue nods yes.

PHOEBE (CONT´D)

Go on.

WYATT

The things is that we got to know that something or someone is coming.

MELINDA

And we suspect that somehow that something is behind the recent demons´ attacks.

JUNIOR

And that they are working with some witches.

PRUE

One of that witches is Chris´ girlfriend.

TAMORA

(surprised)

Bianca?

Paige and Phoebe look at Tamora and then at Piper.

LEO

Bianca?

Piper nods.

LEO (CONT´D)

That Bianca?

Piper nods again.

LEO (CONT´D)

I thought that when we change that future, she wouldn´t appear.

PIPER

Well, she did.

LEO

Piper, why didn´t you tell me about it?

PIPER

I was about to, but then Charlotte got sick.

Paige sits. She´s worried.

PAIGE

I almost mentioned her last year.

LEO

(surprised)

You did what?

PAIGE

It was an accident. And I didn´t say her name.

PRUE

Well, it doesn´t matter because she´s here. And you could have mentioned it. Junior and I had to travel through realities to find out.

COOP

You did what?

HENRY

Through realities? That´s even possible?

JUNIOR

Yeah, dad. 

LEO

You went to the reality where...

WYATT

I was evil, dad, yes. In Prue´s words, I was evil like hell.

JUNIOR

And even though she dated you.

TAMORA

(to Prue)

You did?

Prue rolls her eyes.

PRUE

Can we focus on what matters?

PANDORA

Yeah, get back to that part where you said Chris is dating a witch. What kind of witch?

WYATT

A Phoenix one.

TAMORA

A Phoenix Witch? Really? From all witches, he chooses a Phoenix? Really? 

PANDORA

(confused)

Are Phoenix Witches evil?

PAIGE

Honey, did you really attend Magic School or it was your clone?

PANDORA

Mom, Magical Species was not my favorite subject.

PRUE

(interrupting)

The point is, Chris doesn´t believe it.

COOP

Does he know?

JUNIOR

We tried to tell him and he didn´t care.

LEO

We have to do something. We can talk about her to him and explain that we met her.

PIPER

I thought about that, but it´s not enough. We need to get Bianca away from Chris.

CHARLOTTE

How are we going to do that?

PRUE

Vanquishing her, of course.

CASSANDRA

Won´t Chris hate us for that?

WYATT

Better than let her hurt him.

PAIGE

Are we sure she is working with whatever is coming?

MELINDA

It makes sense. It´s a matter of timing.

PRUE

Well, too bad for her. Cause she doesn´t know what the Power of Nine is.

PANDORA

What´s the plan?

WYATT

Pretend we don´t care. 

MELINDA

Be open-eyed.

PIPER

And protect Chris.

WYATT

And as soon as Chris realizes who she really is, we vanquish her.

They all look one another.

PRUE

(serious)

She will be sorry to have crossed my path, our path.

Wyatt puts an arm over Prue´s shoulder. They all look one another.

CUT TO BLACK.
