Bottom line, I know my partner was killed by a supernatural being and I think Prue Halliwell can help me figure out who did it.
AAndy
Really? Well, I'll just get the Commissioner to signal Batman and then I'll get right on it.
S1Déjà Vu All Over Again
Winds of time gather round,
Give me wings to speed my way,
Rush me on my journey forward,
Let tomorrow be today.
AAndy
Has Phoebe ever been wrong about her premonitions before?
No. But the good news is every other time we've been able to affect the outcome. Stop the demon or warlock before...
AAndy
Before I get killed. Can I get that in writing?
S2Witch Trial
Hello? Anybody home? Sister witches, guess what?
Oh, oh. Are you nuts?
What are you doing?
RRob
Hi.
Hi.
(Piper freezes Rob.)
Ooh!
Hi.
Sister witches? I can't believe you said that. What's the matter with you?
How was I supposed to know that you were gonna be here with anybody? Last I heard that you were meeting a banker friend about the loan. Is this the credit check?
Are you out of your mind?
What was I supposed to do? Say no? Look at that poor girl.
Jenny? Jenny, come on. Talk to me.
PPPrue, Piper and Phoebe
Whoa!
What have we got to lose, okay?
Well, apparently we've got our clothes to lose.
I see that. [drags Piper towards the rock and starts to undress]
No. Whoa, whoa, wait, what are you doing?
When in Rome...
No, no, no! We're not in Rome, Phoebe, we're in California, and it's illegal here!
S2Morality Bites
Wow, what did you buy?
Doody.
We weren't out of that.
No. I stepped in it, again. That man has turned our frontwalk into a puppy minefield.
I can not believe that guy still lets his dog do his business right in front of our house.
Well, we've left notes.
Yes, and that left no where.
Yes, well, I've had it. Next time I catch him in the act I'm gonna get him a piece of my mind.
That couldn't be.
Oh, I hope it is.
That's them. That's the guy and his dog. I can't believe it.
That is so rude. He's just gonna walk away.
Then don't let him. Use your magic.
Uh?
Well, if you can't teach the dog new tricks, how about the owner? Just think on the money we'll save on carpet cleaning alone.
Phoebe, we can't use our magic just to teach him or anybody else a lesson.
Why not? It's for the greater good. I mean that's our job, right? Think of it as a community service. We will do a whole block a favor. Come on! Ok, Piper.
Hope he's not out of my range.
Prue?
Nice shot.
An eye for an eye, a shoe for shoe. Oh, oh.
Did he see you?
So what if he did? What's he gonna do? Cry a witch? [the girls turn away from the window] Well, we've done our good deed for the day. I think I deserve 15 minutes of channel surfing. [A report about baseball player Cal Greene appears on the TV as Phoebe flips through channels]
Who wants coffee?
I'll grind.
[gasps, as she gets a premonition about the future]
[she and Piper run back into the room] Phoebe, are you okay?
Take a deep breath, honey. It's all right.
No, it's not. I saw my future. I was being executed. Burned alive.
Why would a report about baseball player trigger a premonition like that?
I don't know. All I know is that I could feel it. I could feel the fire.
And we were just standing there? That can't be right.
That's what I saw.
There's no way that we would let that happen. Not in the past, present or future.
What did I do? Or, what is it that I'm going to do?
That's Leo, I'll get that. [she opens the door] Hey, stranger.
Is that what I am now?
Mhm. Playing hooky?
Well, they're making me work tonight, so I got the afternoon off.
Mmm, the old "gotta save the world" excuse again?
Oh, like you've never had to use it. [Piper hesitates] You're about to use it.
Well, there is just something I have to do. Maybe you could...
[jingling, Leo looks up] Now?
Leo?
That's okay, I...You go, there's actually something I have take care, so...
Well, we really need to talk about things, you know about... where we stand.
Yeah, we do. Rain check?
That's what we do best. [they kiss, but Leo orbs mid-kiss] I hate when he does that.
[going up to the attic] So, what did he want?
To cancel our date. He's working late, again.
You didn't ask him what we should do?
He had to fly, literally. The pages are doing that flipping thing on their own again.
It's a spell to take us to the future.
Two, actually. One to send us and one to bring us home. But, apparently we only get one shot. Once we use it, they disappear.
Wait a minute you guys. We almost died going back to the past, this is not something that you just do.
We're talking about your life, Phoebe.
And I'm talking about yours, Prue. I'm just saying, I think that we should think this over a little bit.
Look, you had that premonition today for a reason. It must mean we're supposed to do something about it. And, going in the future may be the only way to find out what you did to put you on that pyre.
How do you know it's something that I did? I mean, it might be a demon or a warlock that puts me there.
Do you really wanna wait to find out? Okay, pack your bags. We go, try and figure out what happened, and hopefully come back with enough information to stop it. We're gonna need a date, Phoebe.
Uh, February 12th, 2009. [she writes 2-12-2009 on a piece of paper] That's two weeks before the date I saw in my premonition.
All right, that should give to us more than enough time to figure out what put you there.
I wonder how I look.
Piper, you look great. This is hardly the time to...
Not now, in the future. When we were back to the seventies we saw ourselves as kids, and now we'll be seeing ourselves walking around ten years older? All the vanquishing? Think about the wear and tear.
Okay, well...
[reciting the spell to take them to the future along with Piper and Phoebe] Hear these words, hear the rhyme,
We send to you this burning sign,
Then our future selves we'll find,
In another place and time.
Mommy, mommy, mommy!
Uh, you... I think you have the wrong house. Certainly the wrong mommy.
Stop fooling! Carpool!
[Piper sees the newscast about Phoebe]
Phoebe? Where's the volume?
TTV
Command recognized.
Mommy, I'm gonna be late!
Uh, okay! Um...TV, shut up! Mute! Somethin'. [she walks to the door]
CNCarpool Neighbor
Morning, Piper. You alright?
I guess.
CNCarpool Neighbor
Yeah, it's a... with your sister, it's rough, I know. So, don't worry about your little one. I'll get her to school like you asked but uh, you sure you want me to take her to your ex's?
Ex? As in husband? As in mine? Yes, if that is what I told you, then yes.
CNCarpool Neighbor
So, you and he are getting along better now?
Maybe. Prue? Prue?!
CNCarpool Neighbor
Okay, let's hit the road.
[She goes, but turns back, and whispers] Don't worry, mommy. I promise I'll do what you asked. I won't use my magic again, ever.
[Piper goes outside and watches them drive off. A limo pulls up. Prue (now with blonde hair) and her assistants get out of the limo. They fuss over her by brushing and touching her.]
Hey, hey, people. Okay, enough! People stop touching me! Stay, stay.
Prue, what's going on?
I don't know, but I could really get used to it. I mean, check me out. I don't just work at Bucklands, I own it. And three more. Paris, Tokyo and London.
And you're blonde.
Yeah, strange.
Wait, you had time to get to work already?
Well, actually, I woke up there but it was amazing. I had all these assistants and this huge office. And I have a chauffeur and he's so totally hot. Uh... How'd you do?
[Piper laughs ironically]
Is that a good thing or...?
[Piper and Prue get in the house]
Well, if you ignore my apparently failed marriage and the fact that I'm still living in the manor...
Wait, you are married?
Was. My daughter is on her way...
Wait. Stop right there. You have a daughter?
Yeah. And, and, and... she's... she's beautiful.
Oh, of course she is. What's her name?
Oh God! I don't know. But Prue, she... she has powers. But for some reason I told her not to use them. Why would I do that?
Uh, speaking of why... Why are we in our future bodies? I mean, I thought we were just supposed to come here and see them.
Well, apparently going to the past isn't the same as going to the future. I just wish that, since we are in our future bodies, we could have some memory of what's happened in the last ten years, like how I got a daughter!
Okay, wait a second. If I'm in my future body, and you are in your future body, then that means that Phoebe...
Oh, TV! Louder, louder!
TTV
Command recognized.
[in the middle of TV report about Phoebe]
Eight hours? We were supposed to be here two weeks before!
Shhhh!
Oh, surprise! Here we go, up the stairs, into the attic, grabbing the Book of Shadows. Please tell me we're still not gonna be doing this in ten years!
Apparently not.
What?
The Book is gone.
It's gotta be here. We need it to find a return spell.
Prue...
Piper, just help me look for it.
Okay, relax, we'll find it.
You don't know that! I mean, what if it's lost? What if we can't find it? Then we're stuck in our future bodies, with no way of getting out of them, and no way of saving Phoebe!
[Prue blows up things in the attic with her improved telekinesis.]
Uh... Been working out?
Well, I guess that's a little example of what ten years does to our powers.
And to our attic!
Hm. [Looks under a coat rack to find a key]
The key.
It's the key to my wall safe at Bucklands.
Do you think that means it's there? We've never taken the Book out of the house before.
Yeah, we haven't, but maybe our future selves have. The question is why.
We don't even know what we're like in this time for let alone what we think. But if the Book is at Bucklands maybe it will give us some answers.
Prue. All right, then we go there first, then to Phoebe, to see if she's alright. Sorry about the mess.
Mhm...
I can't believe you get a limo and a driver, and I still got my same old car.
You have a husband.
Had a husband, you mean. I'm getting divorced, remember? And how do you know you don't have a guy in this time? I mean, after all, I have a kid and an ex, you could have several.
Exes?
No, kids. I mean, we're in a future, but with no memory of the past ten years. I don't even know who my ex husband...
[A man holding a cup of coffee bumps into someone and Piper freezes him before it spills. They look around and notice everything is frozen.]
Okay, apparently my power isn't the only one that's grown. You just froze...
Everything! What a difference a decade makes.
What the hell are you doing?!
Leo, I'm so glad you're here. I have so many... [She goes to hug him but he backs away.] Uh...what's wrong?
You know, I knew you'd do something stupid like this. You used your magic in public. What's the matter with you? Are you insane?
Uh, Leo...
Remember, he thinks we know what's going on.
You wanna end up like your sister? Huh? We had an agreement. No using magic for Melinda's sake.
Melinda?
Our daughter. What's wrong with you?
Our daughter?
Wait a second, you're Piper's ex?
Prue? Piper?
PPratt
They haven't been to visit you before. Why would they come now? No... They're going to be as happy to get rid of you as I am.
Who are you?
PPratt
[laughs] I'm sorry, it's been so long since my last visit. Executions are a bitch to plan: logistics, alerting the media, gathering the kindling.
Uh... you know, I've had a lot of time to do some thinking about... why I'm here.
PPratt
Well... no amount of thinking will change the outcome. Justice will be served for your crime.
But it wasn't really a big crime, was it?
PPratt
You are truly evil. What bigger crime is there than taking a man's life?
[seems shocked] I killed someone?
PPratt
[laughs] Phoebe, what is this? An attempt to stay your execution? Plead insanity? Won't work. You have five hours to live - tick tock.
What? Five hours? But that's not possible.
PPratt
Well... I'm happy to see the seriousness of your crime has finally hit you. See... you represent everything I abhor. You're a threat. A danger to everything that is good and pure in our world.
You're talking out of fear. Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it evil.
PPratt
No, it's you who doesn't understand! You killed the man using your power, and now you're gonna die because of it! I only wish that I can burn all of your kind with you! But don't worry... in time I will. This is only the beginning.
Nobody's gonna rescue you.
If that is some kind of Whitelighter humor, let me be the first to tell you, you are not a very funny race of people.
I wish you remembered what you'd done. It'd make this so much easier. Your future self used witchcraft for vengeance, Phoebe. Pratt is using that as a platform.
Why does everyone think I killed someone? I wouldn't. I mean, I couldn't. What did I do? Premonition the man to death? My power is passive.
Not in the future. It's grown. It's changed. As have you. Which means unfortunately you have to suffer to consequences.
I don't believe it.
What is it? What's wrong?
I have no one to say goodbye to. My life...they didn't even know who you were at the office, my own sister. If we die tonight, my tombstone will read "Here lies Prue, she worked hard."
We're not gonna die. We're gonna find a way back to the present and we'll create a new future.
What if we can't? What if we can never get home? According to Phoebe's premonition we fail.
Our future selves fail. We still got a shot.
You're right, you're right. Let's go get Phoebe.
