Original subtitles

( thunder crashing)

( knocking)

Come in.

( men chanting)

My Queen, it's time for your tonic.

Can you do anything about this thunder?

'Cause it is making me nuts!

I have no sway over the weather.

I do have a friend

who works with the wind, but she's out of town.

What about demons?

Any sway over them?

Because I swear, if they don't shut up...

Ugh! I hate this stuff!

It's for your own good.

Well, whatever happened to regular old vitamins?

There's nothing regular about your pregnancy.

The new power you're experiencing is

a mere shadow of what's to come.

The tonic strengthens you to bear the weight of it.

Okay.

Well, then do me a favor.

Find something that strengthens me

and doesn't taste like crap.

Are you feeling all right?

Yeah, it's just...

Oh, I have all this work that I have to do

and I can't concentrate!

But you are queen now.

There's no reason for you to continue with this work at all.

I like my work.

It's a good distraction.

A distraction from what?

Still struggling with your decision?

No, I mean, I love Cole

and you know, don't get me wrong,

this whole queen thing is kind of fun. It's just...

Your sisters.

Yeah, I don't understand why they have to be so stubborn.

Why they can't just respect my decision.

Because it's not in the nature of good to compromise.

They'll never understand.

They only want to change you back.

The sooner you accept that and let them go,

the happier you will be.

Here, drink your tonic.

( loud bang)

What the hell is going on out there?

You know, ever since the coronation,

all he does is work.

The Underworld's been in chaos for some time.

And he has a great task.

I don't care!

I want some attention from my husband.

You're excused.

Make certain you drink that

upon waking.

( chanting)

It is after midnight, Cole. Come to bed.

Phoebe, please, we're in the middle of a ceremony.

We're almost done.

Almost doesn't work for me.

( screams)

I thought we talked about this.

Sorry.

It's hormones.

♪ I am the son and the heir ♪

♪ I am human and I need to be loved ♪

♪ Just like everybody else does ♪

♪ See, I've already waited too long ♪

♪ And all my hope is gone ♪

Damn it, I have read through this 15 times.

There's nothing even remotely helpful

about how to save Phoebe.

I told you, she made a choice.

There's no magical cure for that.

Yeah, well she's pregnant, Piper.

So she's being influenced by the baby inside.

And we could have helped her overcome that,

but she chose Cole.

Will you just stop

with the potions already?

You've already overrun the kitchen.

I'd say we have enough.

This one duplicates

my freezing power,

plus it scalds the flesh,

so we should only use it in a dire emergency.

No!

I will not scald Phoebe's flesh.

She's still our sister.

Paige... how is she?

She's like Piper Light.

All the personality

without any of those messy emotions.

We'll see.

Rumor on the demonic grapevine is

their new queen is killing upper level demons.

Word is, she killed two just last night.

What does that mean?

It means it looks like Phoebe's working from the inside

for the good guys.

That's great!

Since when do you guys believe rumors

that are spread by demons?

DANE: Allison Wit.

Among other things, she's spearheading the campaign

to clean up Dolores Park.

That's my district.

I got men there, too.

Since when?

Since I put 'em there.

Then they're working my territory.

Gentlemen.

It's all my territory.

Next.

Gregory Conroy,

a probation officer to juvenile offenders.

Manages to rehabilitate the worst of the worst.

He's cost us several potential demons.

He's yours.

He works at the...

Relax, boys.

I'm here to cook, not kill.

Although, I'd keep your voices down, if I were you.

Oh!

Hi, honey.

Honey?

Will your friends be staying for dinner?

I'm gonna find it hard enough to convince them

to stay till the end of the meeting

unless you stop threatening to kill them.

I was kidding!

You killed five of my best demons this week,

so forgive me if I'm missing the joke!

Oh, baby, I'm sorry.

I know I've been working a lot.

But that should lighten up soon.

In the meantime, no more killing.

Mm.

Promise?

Promise.

It's hard enough for them to accept the fact

that my queen is a former Charmed One.

We don't want them to think

you're playing both sides.

I said I promise, but if it'll

make you feel better...

Hi!

Um... I just want to say

that I'm really sorry for killing your friends

last night. ( chuckles)

Oh, and, um,

the night before that.

And it's nothing personal, you know,

it's just, uh...

( screams)

Phoebe, was that a...

Cramp.

I just need to lay down.

Should I call the Seer?

No.

No, I'm fine.

Where were we?

DANE: Gregory Conroy.

Mallick's in for the kill.

DANE: He spends his time at the Mission Hill Community Center.

PIPER: These are meant to slow an attacker down but not do real

serious harm.

It's kind of like magical mace.

Sounds reasonable, I guess.

These are a little more lethal.

Explosives, paralytics,

your garden variety poisons.

So you're gonna poison Phoebe?

Leo,

she's carrying the spawn of the Source.

She's throwing fire from her hands.

If she shows up here, we'll do

what we have to do

to protect ourselves.

You're not even giving her a chance.

Paige,

we gave her every chance in the world

to come back to us,

and she threw it in our faces.

She chose the Source of all evil over her own family.

Surprise!

Nice to see you, too, Piper.

What do you want?

Oh, and here I thought you'd be happy to see me.

I'm happy to see you.

Paige.

What?

PIPER: Unless you're here

to tell us you filed for divorce,

we don't really have much to talk about.

Oh, well, that's not true.

For instance, we could talk about

how rigid you are.

It's really not a very attractive quality.

Wait!

Phoebe, what are you doing here?

I had a premonition.

We have an innocent to save and not a lot of time.

That is so great!

Look, I told you! Don't get excited.

It's not what you think.

I haven't changed my mind,

I'm not leaving Cole and I'm not renouncing my crown.

It's just,

I've never ignored a premonition in my life

and I'm not about to start now.

Uh, Phoebe, you're evil.

You're, like, the queen of all evil, literally.

That's beside the point.

How can that be beside the point?

I say we do it.

What?

Excuse me.

Look, this is what we've been hoping for...

A sign that there's still good in her.

Why else would she care about

saving an innocent?

Because it's a trap.

Piper, this could be our only chance.

I think Paige is right.

Maybe by helping her do good,

it might sway her back to our side.

( sighs)

Fine.

Okay, you're on.

We'll follow you.

What's that for?

Insurance.

( groans)

Why do I always have to land in the mud?

PHOEBE: Come on, over here.

How do you know when he's gonna get attacked?

I know.

There he is.

Hey.

No!

PHOEBE: No, Piper!

What are you doing?

Stop.

My queen.

Leave that innocent alone.

Go.

What?

One of my subjects.

How... how...

how could you do that?

How could you just let him go?

I don't know why you're so upset.

We saved the Innocent, didn't we?

I can't talk to her.

You talk to her.

Phoebe...

Things are not as black and white

as they used to be.

Okay, I can't just go around killing demons anymore.

PAIGE: Why not?

We heard you just killed two last night.

Yeah, well, that was different...

He was getting on my nerves.

I promised Cole

I wouldn't kill any more.

And killing Mallick

would have been a huge betrayal.

"Mallick"?

You're on a first-name basis

with the demons?

LEO: If you were just going to order him to stop,

you could have done that on your own.

Why did you even come to us?

Because I missed you guys!

Okay?

Is that so wrong?

I missed you!

LEO: Phoebe,

you can't be Queen of the Underworld

and a Charmed One.

You can't have it both ways.

Why not?

Just because it's different doesn't mean that it can't work.

And you all miss me, too.

Even though I'm sure Piper probably

doesn't want to admit it to herself.

Of course we miss you, honey.

Well, you can have me back.

You can have the Power of Three back.

You just have to be willing to meet me half way.

Phoebe, you can't protect the innocent and save demons.

It just doesn't work that way.

Apparently, it does.

He's alive, isn't he?

PAIGE: Yeah, but your friend Mallick

is going to come back.

You don't know that.

That's what they do Phoebe, they come back.

They snarl and come back!

Yeah, and now we have to worry about protecting him

instead of trying to save you.

You think I need saving?

Are you kidding me?

That baby inside you has corrupted you

more than you think.

Piper...

Don't "Piper" me.

This is insane, what you are saying is insane.

You cannot come back, you cannot work with us

as long as you are married to the Source.

So what do you want me to do, you want me to leave my husband?

Yes!

That is not fair!

LEO: It's not fair, Phoebe,

but you have to pick a side:

good or evil.

That's how it works.

Even though it means

giving up someone you love,

you have to choose.

I'm really sorry you feel that way.

I can't do this.

What about Greg?

Oh, no, not again!

Did you guys see anybody take off

on a chrome and orange bicycle?

No, sorry.

I don't even know why I bother to lock it.

Uh, what should we do?

Follow him.

They were animal sacrifice caverns,

but for the most part, they've been abandoned.

( sighs)

Waste of space, don't you think?

Put a team on it, have it cleaned out...

MALLICK: My Liege!

State your business.

I have news for the Source.

It concerns his queen.

What happened?

Is she hurt?

No.

The Charmed Ones interfered with my kill.

I have no control over my in-laws.

If you want them out of the way,

I suggest you take backup.

MALLICK: I mean all three of them.

Including the queen.

She ordered me not to harm the innocent.

I thought you should know.

Have you told anyone else?

No.

I came straight to you.

Thank you for your loyalty.

Am I next?

No, Dane.

You...

I trust.

It's just my damn wife.

With all due respect...

I think you better take care of the Innocent...

before others hear of this.

( gasps)

My Liege.

Get up.

I have a job for you.

WOMAN: The only requirement for membership is

a desire to stop drinking.

There are no dues or fees for membership,

we are self-supporting through our own contributions.

We do not wish to engage in any controversy,

neither endorse for oppose any party...

So do you really think Piper's okay?

I don't know, but I think it's good

that she's feeling something again.

Right.

Right. Right, she's probably fine.

Is anyone celebrating 30 days today?

So you just think I just need to give her some space, right?

You could try that, yeah.

It's just when Piper lost Prue,

I don't know, she barely survived.

And if she thinks she's going to really lose Phoebe,

she might just...

Listen, just go talk to her, okay?

Remind her that we have a demon to fight.

And that'll do her some good,

and take her mind off Phoebe.

Right, right.

What about you?

Me, I'm fine.

Listen, I don't think Mallick's going to attack

in front of all these people.

So, just go get Piper

and bring her back before the meeting's over.

Okay? Okay.

Okay.

WOMAN: Let me start by, uh...

First let me start

by congratulating the chip takers...

Where's the real column?

Excuse me?

This is cute,

very clever,

and I appreciate the evening chuckle,

but I need to see the real pages.

Are you calling my writing a joke?

"Dear Betrayed...

"I suggest you beat your cheating husband

"with his secretary's stapler.

"Then he'll think twice

before bending her over her desk again."

Well, might be a little harsh,

but I think it makes a point.

What it makes is a lawsuit!

So, unless you're looking to lose your job...

Are you threatening me?

I am telling you to get a shrink if you have to,

but get it together.

Rewrite that column,

and do it fast!

Excuse me.

If you want to kill your boss,

we have people who can take care of that for you.

Aren't you sweet.

Truth is, she's right.

My advice was a little... off this week.

I don't understand what you're doing here.

You're queen.

And you're cranky.

I told you, I'm not quitting my job.

And what about your other job,

you going to keep that, too?

And what job would that be, Cole?

The Charmed One.

Mallick told me what you did.

So what?

I let him go.

That doesn't make it okay!

Keep your voice down.

This is where I work.

You can't save an Innocent

and free a demon, Phoebe.

It doesn't work like that.

You sound like Piper.

Yeah, well, Piper's right.

You made a choice

when you stood by me at the coronation.

If you're questioning that choice now,

if you're not sure you want to be with me,

you need to let me know.

Of course I want to be with you,

I just don't understand why you have to be so rigid.

Because I am the Source!

Because you are my queen!

Because there are expectations!

Do you think I care about anyone's expectations?

This is not a game, Phoebe.

You walked through a one-way door.

You try to turn around now,

they will destroy us.

Who?

My sisters?

The Underworld.

If they think we're working both sides,

they will revolt.

If they do that,

if they unite against us...

I promise...

we will pray for death.

I'm sorry, I didn't...

I get it, Phoebe.

Better than anyone,

I know what you're going through.

It'll rip you apart

if you let it.

How do I not let it?

You make a choice...

and you stick to it.

Even though it's hard.

Even though it means giving up the people that you love.

Let's go home.

We're closed.

Honey...

I don't want to talk.

I know you're feeling...

And even more

than I don't want to talk,

I do not want a pep talk.

Piper...

what are you doing?

What does it look like I am doing?

I am trying to stop myself

from feeling like the failure that I am.

You're not a failure.

It's not your fault that Phoebe...

I am the oldest sister, okay?

It is my job to keep the family together.

Hence, yeah, at this, my friend, I am a failure.

That's enough.

Paige could see that Cole clearly had turned evil.

And she tried to tell me over and over and over

and over and over and over...

That doesn't even sound like a word any more.

You know, I didn't see that he was evil, Piper.

Phoebe didn't see it at first.

We didn't want to see it.

We wanted

a normal, happy family.

That's just human nature.

She is my baby sister...

and I let him destroy her.

That is not human nature.

That is the nature of failure.

All right, I'm not going to listen to this anymore.

You are a good witch,

and...

I said...

no pep talks.

Nobody listens around here anymore.

( thudding)

Ouch.

Trey!

Congratulations on your 30 days.

Thanks.

( softly): Leo?

You again.

Are you following me?

Yes, strangely I am,

and I would love to explain it to you,

but it would be so much better

if we could go talk inside,

by the crowd.

( groans)

No!

What the hell?

Leo?!

Athame!

Damn it, where are my sisters?!

Oh, my God, Piper!

( sighs)

Hmm.

And a good sister... Uh...

LEO: Paige, what?

( sighs)

You were frozen Leo,

and I'm guessing demons didn't get her.

LEO: No.

More like inner demons.

I can't believe she froze me.

Are you okay?

Barely.

It was a different demon this time.

They really want that guy dead.

You're gonna have to heal him and orb him somewhere safe.

And then what?

Then I'm gonna put this family back together.

Can you heal Piper?

No, I can't heal self-inflicted wounds.

( soft groaning)

Great, now I'm down two sisters.

Aah!

My Queen...

it is time for your tonic.

What if I promise

never to save any innocents with them ever again?

Then can I see my sisters?

You'll feel better after this.

Oh, my God.

It's poison.

No.

You told me it was good for me.

It is.

You're lying!

Think about it.

Last night, you were strong, angry perhaps,

but now look at you, whining.

It's a weakness unbefitting

of a queen.

What's in it?

Pure evil.

The baby feeds on it.

And as he grows stronger...

I get weaker.

Only the good in you.

You're trying to destroy me.

I'm trying to help you.

I gave you clarity

where now you have confusion.

I gave you conviction where now you have pain.

You took away my will.

No.

You made the choice to stand by your husband all on your own.

For you, for Cole,

and for your baby.

Don't risk all of your lives by questioning that now.

Drink the tonic, Phoebe.

( indistinct, excited chatter)

( people murmuring "Shh," clearing their throats)

What gives you the authority to call a meeting and summon me?

I summoned you, my Liege,

but I didn't call this meeting.

We all did.

( crowd murmuring)

Oh.

Then someone had better speak.

The concern...

Someone else.

Mallick is missing.

And the Charmed Ones are guarding his mark.

Word on the street is that the Queen worked

alongside her sisters who interfered with the kill.

MALE: Yes. ( crowd murmuring)

I wonder how that news spread.

Forgive our confusion, but, uh,

we were under the impression

that the Power of Three no longer existed.

The Queen is pregnant.

She's prone to hormonal fits.

But I can assure you all

that the Power of Three

is indeed extinct.

Then who killed Mallick?

I did.

( crowd murmuring)

I was convinced he was about to betray me.

Nevertheless, his mark still lives.

Then assign someone to finish the task, Dane.

I believe you already tried that, my Liege.

Are you questioning me?

The innocent is still in the hands of the witches.

Until we've seen evidence that

the Queen's... hormones

are indeed under control,

it might be best if you took out the mark

personally.

( low murmuring)

For morale.

( blender whirring)

How many hangover cures do you have?

A lot.

There was a time in my life when I needed these often.

Ugh!

( loud whirring)

( whimpering)

( blender stops)

( sighs)

I'm sorry, Paige.

I don't know what got into me.

I mean, it's one thing

when your sister has a husband that you can't stand.

It's another when he is

the Source of all evil.

( Paige sighs)

Drink up. We got some work to do.

We can't lose her.

I can't lose another sister.

I don't think I'll survive it.

I've been thinking about it.

Phoebe was different today.

Yeah, she was nuts.

Yeah, but she cared... about us, about Greg.

Something has changed, and I think

now is our chance to get her back.

How?

Well,

I think we storm the penthouse, bring the crystals.

We still know the spell.

We vanquish the Source the same way we did the last time.

Yeah, but now,

this time, the Source is Cole.

Do you really think she's gonna say a little spell

with us to vanquish him?

If she doesn't, we die.

Is that supposed to be comforting?

Actually, yeah.

The good in Phoebe is fighting to the surface.

We saw that today.

I don't think she's just gonna stand by

and watch Cole kill us.

Are you willing to bet your life on that?

Aren't you?

You know, you're pretty amazing, Paige.

I mean,

a year ago, you were an only child.

And I don't want to be again.

Let's go.

( soft groan)

There we go.

I'll get the crystals.

Phoebe.

Cole is gonna kill Greg Conroy.

And I can't let that happen.

( heavy sigh)

So, what do you want to do?

I think that we...

have to vanquish Cole.

I knew it. I knew she was ready.

We have to use Greg as bait.

Bait? He's an innocent.

I know, but Cole's looking for him.

He'll find him wherever he is, so, he's safest

here.

So, we have Leo bring Greg here,

but then when Cole arrives,

uh, Leo's got to orb Greg out of here.

And then we vanquish Cole.

I'll get the crystals.

( Piper sighs)

Phoebe, um...

I know how much you love Cole, and I'm really s...

I can't get emotional about this now, Piper.

If I do, I won't be able to go through with it.

( footsteps approaching)

Ready.

Leo, bring Greg.

( sighs)

PAIGE: So, how long do you think till

Cole gets here?

Sooner than you think.

( screaming)

Phoebe, we have to...

What's the matter?

Did you know about the Seer's tonic?

What it really does?

What's this?

You're planning to leave me?

I wrote two letters...

one saying goodbye to you,

and one saying goodbye to my sisters.

I haven't decided which one I'm going to send.

Well, you'd better decide.

Right now.

Did you know about the tonic?

Yes.

( sighs)

So you knew she was poisoning me with evil.

You took my hand and walked me

through that coronation...

long before anybody gave you anything to drink.

So if you want to pretend that you're being poisoned...

So why even bother

with the tonic?!

Why not just let me think for myself!

Because I know what it feels like to have good and evil

fighting inside of you, ripping your insides out.

I wanted to save you that pain.

You should have trusted me...

to stand by you all on my own.

So... show me I can.

You know what's in the tonic now.

You know how it works.

Drink it.

All on your own.

Cole...

I don't have time for games, Phoebe.

Just drink the tonic.

Or leave... now.

What is going on with you?

What happened?

What happened is you had to go and play demon catcher

with your sisters.

Cole, it's who I am!

And now we're in danger.

Serious danger.

If you don't care about your life,

or mine...

or the baby's,

what about Paige and Piper?

Don't you threaten them.

I'm not.

But if there's a coup,

do you think whoever takes over for me

will let them live?

Without the Power of Three, they're sitting ducks.

I don't know what to do.

You can't go back.

There is only one choice.

Drink the tonic.

You have to know

that I would never do anything to hurt you.

Please?

For us, for our son.

I love you, Phoebe.

Just remember, whatever happens next,

we can handle it as long as we stay together.

What do you mean, "whatever happens next"?

The Conroy thing got serious.

I had to take care of it.

You killed him?

It was your mess.

I was just cleaning it up.

Cole, they're gonna come after you.

They're gonna come here!

Well, if they do...

No.

Phoebe,

if it comes down to them or us...

Oh, God.

Phoebe, wait.

( water running)

COLE: Phoebe.

( knocking)

Phoebe?

( water running)

You evil son of a bitch.

( insects buzzing)

Phoebe!

Get out here and help us, damn it!

Paige.

( grunting)

Don't make me kill you.

Phoebe! You heard

what he said; he's gonna kill us.

Help us!

Forgive me.

( buzzing)

I'm sorry.

It's...

it's for the best.

I know it is.

Phoebe?

I'm sorry, too.

Phoebe, no!

No!

I'm sorry, baby.

I'm so sorry.

Prudence, Penelope, Patricia, Melinda.

Astrid, Helena, Laura, and Grace.

I'll always love you.

Halliwell witches, stand strong

beside us.

Vanquish this evil
