Programma Televisivo: Charmed - 7x14
Apparently, Sheridan wants us real bad.
Previously, on Charmed ...
I'm calling the Feds.
You want the Feds?
You got 'em.
It's Sheridan.
I told you Brody did somethin' to her.
Please don't go.
You killed him.
We have an obligation to maintain the world that we've created, Leo.
We can't let anything threaten it.
You need me.
That's why Leo sent you.
You realize the combined force of good and evil is our only chance of stopping the Avatars.
We gave you the world you asked for.
Except for the fact that you were killing people.
Put the world back.
Are you a whitelighter?
I understand now that my life was supposed to end the way that it did.
It was my destiny.
Yeah, I get that, Rex, but I need you at the club.
You're supposed to be there.
Valentine's day is going to be a very busy night.
Can't you ask her to marry you on another night?
Get off that phone.
You know what?
I'll handle it.
Good luck.
I hope she says no.
Take a look at this.
This is the new face of evil.
His name is John Normand, and he owns the phone company, and he's been stealing from us for months.
Doesn't that just make you angry?
Not really.
Wait, he's been stealing from us, and he's probably gonna get away with it due to some loophole or something.
Phoebe, I'm a little more worried about the actual demons in the world.
You know, the ones that we almost got rid of?
Yeah, well, there's nothing we could do about them.
We tried to save the world, it didn't work, the demons are gonna attack when they're gonna attack.
And when they do, we're just gonna be right back to the same old wow!
Whoa, you're not kidding.
Wow!
Speaking of which, could you do me a favor and watch the boys tonight?
I need Leo to help me set up at P-3 and apparently, my manager is busy proposing.
Yeah, sure, of course.
I mean, it's not like anyone's proposing to me or like anyone's sending me flowers or reciting me poetry.
So much for the little girl I saw in my vision.
Well, Phoebe, just because the Avatars are gone doesn't mean that you won't still find love.
Easy for you to say.
You have Leo.
Yeah, but do I really?
It's only a matter of time before the Elders try to punish him for becoming an Avatar, which they practically drove him to anyway with Gideon and everything.
Well, they made Kyle a whitelighter, and that's good, right?
Yeah, but it took him away from Paige, and, believe me, they got their cosmic jollies off that one.
Where is Paige?
At magic school.
Where else?
Why?
Just worried about her.
That's all.
It really is another great application.
A muse?
No, no, no, no, no.
You can't hire her as a literature professor.
She'd inspire them to write novels instead of reading them.
Ohh, that's a good point.
I hadn't thought of that.
Well, I did, and that's why you should hire me.
What?
You want to be a teacher?
Well, isn't it time I moved up?
Besides, I had a great rapport with the last literature professor.
You hated that little gnome.
You were arguing with him five minutes before he was killed.
Well, that was our way.
Besides, if the truth were told, he'd want me to have the job.
I'm very well-read.
It takes more than that, though.
It takes being able to really connect with the students.
I can do that.
In fact, I've got some tricks you don't even know about.
Did you astral project?
Mrs.
Winterbourne taught me before she went on sabbatical.
Don't worry.
I'll get used to it.
Trust me.
I am the best candidate for this job.
What the hell is - That's gonna leave a mark.
Ooh.
Sorry about the table.
Are you okay?
Who are you?
I'm the new teacher.
You ride in here, nearly kill us, and now you want to teach here?
Well, if I wanted to teach parallel parking, you might have a point, but I'm here for the literature post.
And what do you know about literature?
Plenty.
My resume.
Drake.
Huh.
Well, maybe you should have sent this in so you didn't, uh, waste your time.
Oh, I never waste my time.
For life is but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.
It is a...
...tale told...
Take it, sister.
...By an idiot.
Full of sound and fury, signifying...
...nothing.
You two are not gonna make this easy for me.
Come on, what are you talking about?
It's no contest.
It's all right there in the resume.
I studied at Julliard, performed on Broadway, and I was penning a memoir that I intend to finish on my deathbed.
Oh, I look forward to reading that.
Well, thank you very much.
Why aren't any of these credits more than a year long?
Simple, really.
Before that I was a demon.
What?!
A demon!
Was a demon.
Now human.
Okay, and how exactly did that happen?
Personally, I hate exposition, but if you all right.
Fifty weeks ago, I made a deal with a sorcerer, and he made me human.
Just like that?
Well, there were a few minor stipulations.
Oh, you know, first of all, I get to keep my powers, and if I use them in any offensive manner, he gets them, and I burn for all eternity.
What are you waiting for?
Vanquish him!
Vanq...
Lady!
Vanquish?
Look, I just want a chance to make up for my demon days.
If you don't believe me, then research me.
Look into my history.
I've got almost nothing to hide.
We'll see about that.
Miss Donovan, where are you going?
To prove that he's dangerous.
If that is safety, then I am dangerous.
Boy, is she gonna be sorry when I get the job, right?
Not so fast, Mr.
Pompadour motorcycle guy.
I don't know what to make of you.
Why don't we consult the Book of Shadows?
Want a ride?
Okay, next.
That one's ripped.
So?
The crowd will be, too.
Actually, this is taking far too long.
Where's my staple gun?
Staple gun?
Since when do you staple decorations?
Don't you want everything to be perfect?
What's the point?
It's all gonna be torn down tomorrow anyway.
Well, the point is not worry about what's gonna happen tomorrow.
The point is to stop and enjoy Valentine's Day.
Well, some people can't forget.
Some people would rather see the rips and the flaws, so that they're not totally devastated when they're all torn down suddenly tomorrow.
We're not talking about decorations anymore, are we?
Look, Leo, I'm sorry, but I can't just stand here and pretend like everything's not falling apart.
Again.
We both know that the Elders are not gonna be easy on you.
Well, when you change the world, you got to expect consequences.
Says who?
The Elders brought this on themselves.
It's just as much their fault as it is ours.
Maybe even more so.
Well, I'm the one that chose to become an Avatar.
I betrayed them.
Because they drove you to it with Gideon, what he did to Chris and what he tried to do to Wyatt.
Yeah, I don't think they're going to see it that way.
Well, you need to make them see it that way, or else this may be the last Valentine's Day we spend together.
Your leads are worthless, bounty hunter!
I'm not the one who lost Drake in the first place.
That was you, Sorcerer.
Well, I never dreamt I'd need to keep tabs on him.
By now, I thought he would have used his powers for sure.
And yet he hasn't.
He is stronger than I thought, which is why you must find him, so I can force him to give in to temptation.
But we are running out of time.
In more ways than one, Mr.
Rathbone.
Zankou is moving in to take over the underworld.
If I expect to stop him and to seize the throne for myself, I must have Drake's powers!
I'll double the bounty, but find him!
Sir!
Excuse me, sir.
We have a new lead.
A woman?
You call that a lead?
We caught her in the underworld asking questions about Drake.
She may know where he is.
Ah, is that so?
I don't know anything.
Let me go.
Think harder, my dear.
No, you cannot put me on hold again.
Now, when are you going to send me a refund for my phone bill?
What do you mean, "never"?
Look, this is you know what?
Forget it.
I have call waiting anyway, which you're probably overcharging me for, right?
Hello?
Hey, Phoebe, it's Darryl.
Darryl, shouldn't you be out arresting that thief John Normand?
Did you read the paper today?
It says - Look, Phoebe, we got bigger things to worry about.
Sheridan's back.
What?
Oh, no!
Any more good news?
Your friend Brody came to visit me last night and told me that he brought her out of the coma.
Didn't you say he died?
Yeah, well, I never said it stuck.
He became a whitelighter.
Point is he did some mumbo jumbo on her where she doesn't remember anything that happened.
Well, does she remember us?
I don't know yet.
He told me to tell her that they went on some undercover mission and that he died and she wound up in a coma.
Now, just how long do you expect her to buy that?
I don't know, but as long as we don't trigger her memory, we should be fine.
Trigger?
What do you mean trigger?
Her memory could come back if she's reminded of it.
That's why you have to keep her away from us.
Phoebe, I need you upstairs!
Okay!
Coming!
Darryl, I'm sorry, I gotta go.
You're just gonna have to deal with this like the rest of us.
Phoebe Phoebe...
do I know her?
I don't know.
Do you?
There.
See?
Right there.
You got nothing to fear.
What are you talking about?
This says that you have the power to fire thermal blasts that can knock out ten demons at a time.
Yeah, but I told you, if I use them, then the sorcerer gets them and that would be bad.
But it also says that I can be vanquished by the Power of Three.
Hello.
See?
Right there.
What?
You touched it.
What?
You touched the book.
Oh, my god.
So I did.
I guess that means I'm good.
Stop it.
Maybe it does.
Maybe it doesn't.
The Book has been tricked before.
So have we.
Just recently as a matter of fact.
All righty then, that explains it.
So, what did this mistake cost you?
A colleague?
A friend?
A lover?
Actually, all of the above.
Hmm.
No wonder you're so indecisive.
I'm not indecisive.
You think I'm indecisive?
Paige, making mistakes is what makes us human.
Hey, sorry.
Put the boys down for a nap.
Who are you?
Drake, Phoebe.
Phoebe, Drake.
Uh, yeah.
He's an ex-demon.
What?!
Excuse me?
I thought you guys had lots of experience with demons who were human.
You married one, didn't you?
Yes, and divorced.
How did you know that?
You know, gossip.
Around the office cauldron.
Anyway, point is, girls, you don't know what it's like to be judged simply by the way you were born.
Look well at me and tell me, with what hope this vile protuberance can inspire my heart!
He's very dramatic.
I see that.
Look, I don't know why Cyrano is here, but he should probably leave because we have our own problems.
But, my dear Roxanne, feel'st thou my soul, here?
You know, then again, I don't have a date for valentine's day and he is kind of hot.
He's hot until you figure out how many people he's killed.
Whoa, hey, wait a minute.
I never killed anyone.
Except demons.
Killed plenty of them.
Join the club.
Sucks, doesn't it?
You're telling me in your whole demonic career you have not killed one innocent?
That's because since the day I was hatched I've been reading books, and they taught me about feelings.
Human feelings.
Love, sadness, death.
Since then, I could never harm an innocent.
I always found a way around doing that.
What do you think?
I kind of believe him.
You?
I don't know.
I'm gonna ask Piper.
Oh, come on, Paige, tell her I'm the right man for the job.
Job?
What job?
Fill her in.
I'll be back.
So, you, uh, you like Gene Kelly movies?
Love 'em.
Why?
Thanks for coming.
Of course.
After all that's happened, it's the least we could do.
Oh, please.
Don't apologize.
If anything, we've been far too lenient with him.
Lenient?
You tried to kill me.
You left us no choice.
Funny.
I feel the same way.
Gentlemen ...
neither side is without blame.
Perhaps we could put the past behind us.
And we will.
Once he's done the penance for his betrayal.
That's why I brought you here.
I should be able to defend myself before you issue judgment on me.
Oh, really?
And what would you say?
That what I did was for my family.
I was trying to create a better world for them.
For all of us.
Too bad you failed.
Perhaps it would be best if Leo and I spoke alone.
If you don't mind.
It hasn't been easy arguing on your behalf.
Thanks for trying.
One word of advice, Leo...
stay out of magical affairs or you just might make things even worse for yourself.
Wow.
Let me get this straight, you do musical theater as well?
Oh, I'm full of surprises.
What's this?
Another surprise.
Happy Valentine's Day.
And to you.
Get your paws off of her!
So much for romance.
Piper!
Ha ha!
We were just having fun.
You know ...
fun.
With the demon?
Phoebe, how many times have I told you not to play dress-up with the demons?
I'm sure it's harmless.
Incidentally, Piper, I am an ex-demon.
Look, buddy, we're not gonna let a demon or an ex-demon teach at Magic School.
It's ridiculous.
Maybe you're right.
Drake, I'm really sorry.
It's just not a real feasible thing for you to do this.
It could cause too many problems.
No, you're making a terrible mistake.
As an ex-demon, I can get through to these kids.
I can keep them from going down the path of evil.
Phoebe, talk to them.
Make them see reason.
I can't.
Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but it's just...
it's not really practical.
I'm sorry.
No, this is all wrong.
The problem here isn't me, it's you three.
You've been shaken to the core by what's happened with the avatars.
You, you just lost faith in yourself, and you, you've been disheartened by the fight, and you, sweetheart, you are just plain mean.
Watch it.
You're mean because you closed down your heart.
You're petrified it's gonna get broken again, aren't you?
You know, there's only one man I know who can solve all of these problems.
Oh, come on!
Robin Hood!
Oh, you!
I'm gonna hire you just so I can fire you.
Do we look merry to you?
Well, perhaps you should see the world as Robin Hood would have.
He believed in himself, and he also loved the thrill of the fight.
And despite the threat of imminent death, he found love with his dear Maid Marian.
Ohh, that's very sweet.
Isn't that - You should probably change us back.
Very well.
Kitchen.
Now.
Let's go.
You just give me one second.
I thought they'd never leave.
Vanquish him?
Are you sure?
Well, if he doesn't leave, we don't really have a choice.
But his heart is in the right place.
Now, let's see those powers, demon.
But on the other hand, he still has his demonic powers.
Hi.
Waffle much?
The darkness within cannot be undone.
Embrace your true self!
Oh!
Here we go again!
Damn it!
Drake!
Are you okay?
Drake?
Who's Drake?
I'm Robin.
Of Locksley.
Of course you are.
Stand and deliver!
Excellent.
John will be no match for me.
Uh, Robin?
You missed.
And if you put a hole in my wall, you'll have me to answer to, not some prince.
My apologies, my good woman, but my aim must be true if I am to right John's wrong.
Right.
Just be careful.
Please tell me you found a way to fix Robin in there.
Not yet.
Can't you just freeze him?
Nope, not freezin'.
Sorry, you guys.
Another big mistake bringing him here.
No, it's just our lives.
I can fix that!
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
Yeah, but I don't understand why it went wrong.
Why does the Sorcerer want to turn Drake into Robin Hood of all things?
I don't think he meant to.
I think he meant to bring out Drake's inner demon so he could use his powers.
But then I blasted him mid-spell, so, instead, we got his inner Robin Hood.
Royal hound!
Sorry!
My fault!
Well, another mistake for The Charmed Ones.
It wasn't a mistake.
It was an accident.
Either way we messed up.
O-o-okay ...
I found a vanquishing potion for the Sorcerer but, of course, there's no way to find him.
Well, how is finding the Sorcerer even gonna fix Drake anyway?
Actually, I think it will, because if we vanquish the Sorcerer, then it should reverse his magic.
Saxon dog!
Okay, well, I'll go to the magic school and I'll ask Miss Donovan to look through things and see if she can find something that helps us find the Sorcerer.
Or you could just do it yourself.
Yeah, well, I don't know the archives that well, and knowing me, I'd probably mess up.
What are we gonna do with her?
We'll fix her later.
Right now we need to deal with him.
What is he doing with my phone bill?
Marian, these taxes are outrageous!
Prince John has gone too far.
Ok, I'm not Marian, I'm Phoebe, remember?
And give me that!
Prince John has been dead for centuries.
He's not taxing anyone anymore.
Yeah.
The phone company is owned by a different John and he's...
well, a really swell guy.
Nonsense!
The evidence of his misdeeds is right there on the parchment.
You left that out?
Well, who knew?
I think it's high time I paid John a visit.
My steed!
Horsepower.
Wh-what--what kind of Robin Hood rides a motorcycle?
Forget that!
What are we gonna do?
We can't just let him go out there.
Especially not with Sheridan back.
Sheridan's back?
Did I forget to mention that?
Go with him.
What?
You're the Marian person.
Go with him!
Robin!
Wait ...
Okay ...
here we go.
Oh!
Okay.
Helmets, please, people!
Hold on, milady.
Okay, well, no Prince John here.
We should probably go home, huh?
What, and give up without a fight?
I think not.
Those riches belong to the people of Sherwood Forest.
We must see that they're returned.
I know.
But we can't just steal from the rich and give to the poor.
There's laws against that.
Marian, have you forgotten what it is to do good?
Next in line!
Hey, that guy's cutting!
Hey, hey, hey, Pocahontas.
There's a line.
Little John!
You came to join our merry band.
Excellent.
Who you callin' little?
Must we settle this with a quarterstaff duel?
Excuse me.
You wanna fight me?
Is that it?
No, no, no, no, no.
No, Robin, calm down.
Excuse me.
I'm the office manager here.
Is there a problem?
This nut job's trying to butt in line.
He just doesn't know any better.
You will tell me where Prince John is.
Who?
Prince John.
Ok, look.
We don't wanna kill the peasants.
That's not what we do.
Well, he is no peasant.
He's an accomplice to the prince's thievery.
What?
I didn't steal anything.
The hell you didn't.
I read the paper.
I know you've been screwin' us.
Thanks to you, I can't afford to take my wife out for valentine's day.
Oh, that's nothing.
They cut off my phone service for no reason and now they wanna charge me to reconnect it.
What about their lousy technicians?
I wasted a day of work waitin' on 'em.
See?
You're makin' all our lives miserable.
Kick his ass, Robin!
No, no, no.
Just tell him where John Normand is.
That's all he wants to know.
Corporate Headqarters.
Financial district.
Great.
We'll find it.
Come on.
Just don't tell 'em I sent you.
Good people of Sherwood, the prince has abused his power for far too long.
He lives in riches while you live in squalor.
Yeah!
It is high time we take back that which was stolen from you.
Damn right!
All those wishing to join my fight, you follow me!
Stand down if you know what's good for you.
Hey!
What are you doing?
Marian.
You're just in time.
To the end of Prince John's tyranny!
You can't do this!
But you heard what the prince has done to these people.
How can you turn a blind eye to that?
Or has your heart really grown that cold?
Fill your hearts and fill your bellies!
Okay, the police are comin'.
We gotta go.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
Come on.
Come on.
Oh.
Oh, please.
Please.
So ...
You can astral project.
That could come in very handy later.
Morning, sunshine.
What do you want with me?
Well, I'm afraid I couldn't bring the demon out of Drake as I'd planned.
I was interrupted by The Charmed Ones.
Then they'll probably come for you.
Which is why I'll need you to serve as a distraction when the time is right.
Oh, why did I ever come down here?
I should have stayed in the library!
The library?
Well, then, you are indeed a prize.
Why?
What do you mean?
The witches' interference made my spell go awry.
Drake is unstable now, and I need to use this to my advantage.
So.
Tell me ...
what do you know about Robin Hood?
No, Phoebe, you can't take him to John Norman's office.
That is a very bad idea.
You have to bring him back here.
I said, you have to bring him back here!
Phoebe?
Phoebe!
Damn it.
Do I really need this today, or ever?
Relax.
You can handle it.
This, coming from the man who refuses to help.
Well, I told you I'm afraid that I'm gonna piss off the Elders and they can recycle me, Piper.
You don't want that, do you?
No, of course not.
But it's just we were this close to a life without Elders, without demons, without freakin' Robin Hood running through the streets threatening to expose us.
I know.
But this is the life that we have now, and we have to make the best out of it, okay?
So relax.
You can handle it just like you've done before.
Thank you.
Don't remind me.
Have you guys seen the news?
No.
Weren't you at magic school?
Yeah.
We have satellite.
He apparently threw the stolen cash into the crowd, inciting a near riot.
Police have launched a search for the man who bystanders describe as a modern day Robin Hood.
Mm.
Still think I can handle this one?
Just like the good old days.
Bite your tongue.
Okay, you know what?
I should go warn Darryl.
Because the cops have no idea what they're up against.
No, no, no, wait.
I need you to write a vanquishing spell.
Why?
You have the potion.
Not for the sorcerer.
For Drake.
For Drake?
Really?
We need to be able to stop him, and this may be the only way.
Leo, can you warn Darryl?
Uh, what about the Elders?
Oh, for god sakes.
I don't think they're gonna strike you down for making a phone call.
Right.
You know what?
I found a spell at magic school and it should be able to summon the Sorcerer.
That way, we don't have to vanquish Drake.
You mean, Miss Donovan found it?
No.
I found it.
Come to think of it, I haven't actually seen Miss Donovan in a little while.
Look, anyway, the point is with my spell, we can summon the Sorcerer.
With your potion, we can vanquish him, and that kinda fixes the whole Drake thing, yeah?
Maybe.
But if that doesn't work, we need a plan B.
We've gotta stop Drake somehow.
Well, I guess it can't hurt.
Exactly.
The last thing we need is another news report like that one.
He's a what?
A ex-demon.
But he still has powers.
So be careful.
You don't want the cops to provoke him too much.
He could take out half the force.
If Sheridan finds out, that could be a trigger, man.
A trigger.
I'm sorry?
For her memory.
If she remembers she was after them, then she will be all over us again.
Well, then, you can't let her find out.
Thanks for the tip, Leo.
Good news, Lieutenant.
Captain wants us to work together.
So where are we going, partner?
Hey!
What's the matter with you, moron?!
So we're just gonna talk to the guy, right?
We're not actually gonna kill him.
No, of course not.
As long as he promises to give back every last penny.
Wait, what do you mean, every last penny?
Look, I don't think this is a good idea.
Marian, you've come so far.
You must be strong enough to finish the fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
Do not let all we've done be for naught.
Darryl.
The Sheriff of Nottingham.
It's about time he arrived.
Freeze!
What?
No!
Unh!
Sheridan.
Marian!
Marian!
Oh, my god.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
But you're under arrest.
Where's the other one?
He got away.
Prince John?
We meet at last.
What the hell is this?
The end of your reign.
You'll never make it outta here.
You know that.
I mean, the cops'll have you inside of two minutes.
You need not worry about me, sire.
Wh--what--what exactly do you mean?
Did my ex-wife send you?
I'm here to rob you.
Of course.
Well, uh, in that case, we'd better get right to it, and you can be on your merry way.
Now who should I make this out to?
You will return all that you have stolen to every last person in your domain.
But I have millions of customers.
Then I suggest that you get started.
Hold your position.
But nobody make a move unless I say so.
You should really get that wound checked.
No, thanks.
I've missed enough.
And Ms.
Halliwell here was just telling me a very interesting story.
Wait.
You don't believe me?
I think it's a little far-fetched, don't you think?
You get kidnapped by Robin Hood, forced to go on a crime spree, only to be saved in the end by us.
That's a nice touch.
Let her go, Sheridan.
I told you, she's a friend.
Okay, you know what?
Sheridan, I'm a good person, and I really think that I can help you out in this situation if you'll just let me.
Do you really think you can?
Yeah, I do.
He and I have a connection, and he's a little messed up right now.
But I really think that I could break through to him.
But I gotta talk to him.
That's completely out of the question.
It's dangerous, and it breaks procedure.
You know what?
He's dangerous, and you have no idea what he's capable of.
Lieutenant, we're in position.
We've got a clear shot.
Hold your fire.
She's goin' in.
What?
Morris.
That's an order, Inspector.
Thank you, Darryl.
You know, there's something oddly familiar about all this.
Let's get that wound checked.
Sorcerer of darkness, demon of fright, I call you now into my sight.
Maybe I can just try it again.
No, Paige.
You've tried three times.
It's not working.
He must be protecting himself somehow.
I could have copied it down wrong.
Paige, it's not your first day as a witch, you know?
It's just, we're running out of options.
You saw the news.
I think it's "time we go to plan B.
I think getting rid of him would be a big mistake.
So would letting an innocent die.
Look, if you're not gonna trust yourself, at least trust me.
Because it's certainly not my first day.
Paige!
Miss Donovan.
Why are you astral projecting?
Please, I don't have time.
The Sorcerer took me prisoner.
What?
I swear, I was just tryin' to check out Drake, and, you know, it turns out he's not so bad.
It was the Sorcerer that I should have been worried about.
It's okay.
We know all about it.
Don't panic.
Because now that we know where you are, we could scry for you, and get you out of there, and just vanquish him.
Oh, thank you.
Now I gotta go.
Looks like Drake just got a reprieve.
Well-played, my dear.
I wish I could have told them what you were planning.
If you had, you'd be dead by now.
At least now, you'll live a touch longer than The Charmed Ones will.
You see, thanks to your message, they're now focused on saving you.
Too bad my lair is protected against summoning and scrying.
It won't take them long to figure it out.
Oh, but by then, I'll have Drake's powers.
How can you be so sure?
Well, you see, once a demon, always a demon.
I just need to remind drake of that by casting a spell on Prince John.
Come on.
You cannot expect me to write all these checks.
Oh, oh, Robin!
Don't shoot.
It's me, your Marian.
Milady.
How did you lose the sheriff?
Oh, me and the sheriff go way back.
Now listen.
Ooh!
Uh, don't you think it's time we let the Prince go?
I'm sure he's learned his lesson by now.
Haven't you, John?
Oh, oh, yeah, oh.
Oh, I'm--I'm-- I'm heartbroken here, man.
I didn't realize what I was doing to those poor people.
I mean, thank you, Robin.
You have really shown me the error of my ways.
I swear, I am going to change.
See?
That's great.
That's great.
I know you don't wanna hurt him.
What about the money?
He can't be trusted.
Well, if you can't trust him, then trust me.
Look, today you reminded me what it's like to do good.
To make a difference and to help people.
Now let me help you.
Come with me before you do something you'll regret.
Sorry.
Oh, I cannot believe that you actually fell for that.
Pardon?
I mean, really.
You think I give a rat's ass about some poor schmo who's too stupid to know he's being suckered?
There's no way in hell I'm giving this money back.
Oh, no.
The Sorcerer.
Well, I don't think Darryl can hold off the cops any longer.
You're running out of time.
What would you like me to do about that?
The crystal's not dropping.
This isn't right, you guys.
We're being played.
Come on, Paige.
You're not gonna do any of us any good by waffling now.
I'm not waffling.
Look.
Fine.
I admit, okay, I've been out of it since the whole thing with the Avatars and with Kyle.
But I can't keep beating myself up over the mistakes that we've made.
I have to move on.
I think we all do.
I'm not sure it's that easy.
Maybe it's not.
But I have to try, right?
I mean, Drake said that I have to start trusting my instincts again.
Otherwise, I'm not gonna be able t help him or Miss Donovan or anybody.
So what are your instincts telling you now?
That Miss Donovan's just a distraction.
Otherwise, we would have found her by now.
Okay.
Say you're right.
So you think the sorcerer is after Drake?
He wants his powers, doesn't he?
Drake's bound to use those at some point or another.
You will give the money back.
Or what, you gonna shoot me with an arrow?
Come on.
I'm evil.
You can do better than that.
Don't listen to him.
He's under a spell.
You've gotta punish me.
Destroy me or I'll keep doing evil and I don't give a damn who gets hurt.
Single moms, old people, kids, even your little maid here.
She's not my maid!
Oh, my god.
Help me.
Please.
Hello.
Looks like your instincts were right.
We believe that's Billionaire John Norman being hurled out of the window by some -- Just wish I'd trusted them sooner.
A deal is a deal.
You, off to purgatory, my boy.
Well ...
what are you waiting for?
Come and get me.
This was the scene of chaos just minutes ago when the man known as Robin Hood detonated what appears to have been a homemade bomb.
Fortunately, billionaire John Norman escaped injury with the aid of local advice columnist Phoebe Halliwell.
As you can see behind me ...
Piper, we don't have a choice.
We have to go after the sorcerer.
I realize that.
But he knows we're coming.
He'll set a trap for us.
What happened?
You said Drake was missing.
No, actually.
We lost him.
But if we vanquish the Sorcerer, then we should be able to reverse the magic and get Drake out of purgatory.
Well, if we can use the vanquishing spell I wrote to get rid of Drake, then it should work on getting rid of the Sorcerer.
How can you be sure that it's gonna work?
Because I trust my gut.
It helped us find the Sorcerer, right?
And it was right about Drake.
He is an innocent.
We have to save him.
Otherwise, everything he's done will have been for naught.
For naught?
The point is is we have to save Drake.
I don't know.
I think Drake's caused enough trouble for one day.
I'll say.
We'll be lucky if he doesn't trigger Sheridan's memory.
Not to mention Prince John and all the magic he saw.
Okay, John won't remember a thing and we can worry about Sheridan tomorrow.
You worry tomorrow.
I'll worry today.
Found Miss Donovan.
Probably the Sorcerer, too.
See?
Wasn't that a little too easy?
I'm telling you, it's a trap.
Maybe we should start thinking more like Robin Hood.
Excuse me?
It won't be long now.
I've lowered the cave's protections.
Which means The Charmed Ones are on their way.
To vanquish you, I'm sure.
Oh, I'm sure they'll try.
But we're on my turf now.
And they'll be no match for my new powers.
I'm not so sure about that.
Well, well, well.
I'll give you this much.
You're getting better at that.
You don't even need to be asleep anymore.
I'm a fast learner.
Me, too.
Well, that's wonderful.
But I don't think I have time for this right now.
You should make time.
What the hell?
'Cause you never know.
It's true.
You never know when your time is up.
The Charmed Ones.
Evil blasts we cannot use; The Power of Three now lights their fuse.
Nicely done.
What about Drake?
Ow!
That's hot!
That's not gonna ...
Drake.
You saved me?
Of course.
What would you expect from Maid Marian?
And your Merry Men.
Women.
Excuse me.
Do you mind?
That was interesting, huh?
I guess.
I just can't believe we're back in the underworld back vanquishing demons again.
Oh, I don't know.
After all, it is pretty romantic, isn't it?
You've gotta be kidding.
No, not at all.
Most of the world's greatest lovers were brought together during a time of epic conflict.
Admittedly, most of them were doomed.
But they did find the romance in it.
So why can't you?
Hey.
I thought you might wanna see this. "
A hero."
Now aren't you glad you didn't arrest her?
Well, I don't know.
She didn't help us get the guy.
She didn't promise to.
She promised to help.
Yeah, but still, don't you think it's just a little weird?
I mean, she goes inside.
The perp gets away.
But yet, there's no trail to follow, no leads.
I mean, it's almost as though he just disappeared.
We'll get him.
Good night, Sheridan.
Oh.
You look great in all your, uh, teacher-ness.
Oh, that little old thing?
Okay, well, I brought you your class schedule and your student roster, and I, uh, have assigned you a T.A ...
Miss Donovan.
She's not sore for being passed over?
Well, I think she was a little freaked out by what happened.
She did wanna run back to the peace and quiet of the library.
But I've talked her into helping you out in class.
Mm.
Well, I guess it's all for the best.
Someone's gotta take over.
Why, are you planning on being absent a lot?
No, I mean, in case it doesn't work out.
We agreed it would just be temporary at first.
I mean, you may change your mind in a couple weeks.
I may need to move on.
I will not change my mind.
Trust me.
Anybody - anybody who can get through the thick skulls of my lovely sisters and I can definitely get through to those kids.
Even though I'm a little crazy?
Because you are a lot crazy.
No, look, magic school's protected.
It's okay.
Give it your best shot.
Just came by to see the new professor.
All right.
Well, um, I promised Piper and Leo that I'd baby-sit for them tonight.
They're going out celebrating Valentine's Day.
Mm-mmm.
Finding a little romance, are they?
Thanks to you, yeah.
Oh, I'm not done yet.
Really?
Ok, well, great awkward moment for me.
So I'll be going, and there's a night class in five minutes.
Don't forget.
So I thought you'd like to see tomorrow's newspaper.
Looks like Prince John is gonna give back everything he stole.
Guess he just needed to be reminded of his mortality.
Works every time.
Phoebe...
there's something I have to tell you.
You know the deal I made that made me human...
well, that only lasts a year.
At the end of it, I gotta die.
Wh--are you kidding?
No.
Uh-uh.
But listen, it was well worth the sacrifice.
Now all I wanna do is I wanna pass on what I've learned about literature, about life, and about love.
How long do you have?
Two weeks.
Oh.
Wh -- I mean--I mean, can we try to fix it?
Mm, you can't.
And you know what?
It's all good.
See ya.
Previously, on Charmed ...
I'm calling the Feds.
You want the Feds?
You got 'em.
It's Sheridan.
I told you Brody did somethin' to her.
Please don't go.
You killed him.
We have an obligation to maintain the world that we've created, Leo.
We can't let anything threaten it.
You need me.
That's why Leo sent you.
You realize the combined force of good and evil is our only chance of stopping the Avatars.
We gave you the world you asked for.
Except for the fact that you were killing people.
Put the world back.
Are you a whitelighter?
I understand now that my life was supposed to end the way that it did.
It was my destiny.
Yeah, I get that, Rex, but I need you at the club.
You're supposed to be there.
Valentine's day is going to be a very busy night.
Can't you ask her to marry you on another night?
Get off that phone.
You know what?
I'll handle it.
Good luck.
I hope she says no.
Take a look at this.
This is the new face of evil.
His name is John Normand, and he owns the phone company, and he's been stealing from us for months.
Doesn't that just make you angry?
Not really.
Wait, he's been stealing from us, and he's probably gonna get away with it due to some loophole or something.
Phoebe, I'm a little more worried about the actual demons in the world.
You know, the ones that we almost got rid of?
Yeah, well, there's nothing we could do about them.
We tried to save the world, it didn't work, the demons are gonna attack when they're gonna attack.
And when they do, we're just gonna be right back to the same old wow!
Whoa, you're not kidding.
Wow!
Speaking of which, could you do me a favor and watch the boys tonight?
I need Leo to help me set up at P-3 and apparently, my manager is busy proposing.
Yeah, sure, of course.
I mean, it's not like anyone's proposing to me or like anyone's sending me flowers or reciting me poetry.
So much for the little girl I saw in my vision.
Well, Phoebe, just because the Avatars are gone doesn't mean that you won't still find love.
Easy for you to say.
You have Leo.
Yeah, but do I really?
It's only a matter of time before the Elders try to punish him for becoming an Avatar, which they practically drove him to anyway with Gideon and everything.
Well, they made Kyle a whitelighter, and that's good, right?
Yeah, but it took him away from Paige, and, believe me, they got their cosmic jollies off that one.
Where is Paige?
At magic school.
Where else?
Why?
Just worried about her.
That's all.
It really is another great application.
A muse?
No, no, no, no, no.
You can't hire her as a literature professor.
She'd inspire them to write novels instead of reading them.
Ohh, that's a good point.
I hadn't thought of that.
Well, I did, and that's why you should hire me.
What?
You want to be a teacher?
Well, isn't it time I moved up?
Besides, I had a great rapport with the last literature professor.
You hated that little gnome.
You were arguing with him five minutes before he was killed.
Well, that was our way.
Besides, if the truth were told, he'd want me to have the job.
I'm very well-read.
It takes more than that, though.
It takes being able to really connect with the students.
I can do that.
In fact, I've got some tricks you don't even know about.
Did you astral project?
Mrs.
Winterbourne taught me before she went on sabbatical.
Don't worry.
I'll get used to it.
Trust me.
I am the best candidate for this job.
What the hell is - That's gonna leave a mark.
Ooh.
Sorry about the table.
Are you okay?
Who are you?
I'm the new teacher.
You ride in here, nearly kill us, and now you want to teach here?
Well, if I wanted to teach parallel parking, you might have a point, but I'm here for the literature post.
And what do you know about literature?
Plenty.
My resume.
Drake.
Huh.
Well, maybe you should have sent this in so you didn't, uh, waste your time.
Oh, I never waste my time.
For life is but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.
It is a...
...tale told...
Take it, sister.
...By an idiot.
Full of sound and fury, signifying...
...nothing.
You two are not gonna make this easy for me.
Come on, what are you talking about?
It's no contest.
It's all right there in the resume.
I studied at Julliard, performed on Broadway, and I was penning a memoir that I intend to finish on my deathbed.
Oh, I look forward to reading that.
Well, thank you very much.
Why aren't any of these credits more than a year long?
Simple, really.
Before that I was a demon.
What?!
A demon!
Was a demon.
Now human.
Okay, and how exactly did that happen?
Personally, I hate exposition, but if you all right.
Fifty weeks ago, I made a deal with a sorcerer, and he made me human.
Just like that?
Well, there were a few minor stipulations.
Oh, you know, first of all, I get to keep my powers, and if I use them in any offensive manner, he gets them, and I burn for all eternity.
What are you waiting for?
Vanquish him!
Vanq...
Lady!
Vanquish?
Look, I just want a chance to make up for my demon days.
If you don't believe me, then research me.
Look into my history.
I've got almost nothing to hide.
We'll see about that.
Miss Donovan, where are you going?
To prove that he's dangerous.
If that is safety, then I am dangerous.
Boy, is she gonna be sorry when I get the job, right?
Not so fast, Mr.
Pompadour motorcycle guy.
I don't know what to make of you.
Why don't we consult the Book of Shadows?
Want a ride?
Okay, next.
That one's ripped.
So?
The crowd will be, too.
Actually, this is taking far too long.
Where's my staple gun?
Staple gun?
Since when do you staple decorations?
Don't you want everything to be perfect?
What's the point?
It's all gonna be torn down tomorrow anyway.
Well, the point is not worry about what's gonna happen tomorrow.
The point is to stop and enjoy Valentine's Day.
Well, some people can't forget.
Some people would rather see the rips and the flaws, so that they're not totally devastated when they're all torn down suddenly tomorrow.
We're not talking about decorations anymore, are we?
Look, Leo, I'm sorry, but I can't just stand here and pretend like everything's not falling apart.
Again.
We both know that the Elders are not gonna be easy on you.
Well, when you change the world, you got to expect consequences.
Says who?
The Elders brought this on themselves.
It's just as much their fault as it is ours.
Maybe even more so.
Well, I'm the one that chose to become an Avatar.
I betrayed them.
Because they drove you to it with Gideon, what he did to Chris and what he tried to do to Wyatt.
Yeah, I don't think they're going to see it that way.
Well, you need to make them see it that way, or else this may be the last Valentine's Day we spend together.
Your leads are worthless, bounty hunter!
I'm not the one who lost Drake in the first place.
That was you, Sorcerer.
Well, I never dreamt I'd need to keep tabs on him.
By now, I thought he would have used his powers for sure.
And yet he hasn't.
He is stronger than I thought, which is why you must find him, so I can force him to give in to temptation.
But we are running out of time.
In more ways than one, Mr.
Rathbone.
Zankou is moving in to take over the underworld.
If I expect to stop him and to seize the throne for myself, I must have Drake's powers!
I'll double the bounty, but find him!
Sir!
Excuse me, sir.
We have a new lead.
A woman?
You call that a lead?
We caught her in the underworld asking questions about Drake.
She may know where he is.
Ah, is that so?
I don't know anything.
Let me go.
Think harder, my dear.
No, you cannot put me on hold again.
Now, when are you going to send me a refund for my phone bill?
What do you mean, "never"?
Look, this is you know what?
Forget it.
I have call waiting anyway, which you're probably overcharging me for, right?
Hello?
Hey, Phoebe, it's Darryl.
Darryl, shouldn't you be out arresting that thief John Normand?
Did you read the paper today?
It says - Look, Phoebe, we got bigger things to worry about.
Sheridan's back.
What?
Oh, no!
Any more good news?
Your friend Brody came to visit me last night and told me that he brought her out of the coma.
Didn't you say he died?
Yeah, well, I never said it stuck.
He became a whitelighter.
Point is he did some mumbo jumbo on her where she doesn't remember anything that happened.
Well, does she remember us?
I don't know yet.
He told me to tell her that they went on some undercover mission and that he died and she wound up in a coma.
Now, just how long do you expect her to buy that?
I don't know, but as long as we don't trigger her memory, we should be fine.
Trigger?
What do you mean trigger?
Her memory could come back if she's reminded of it.
That's why you have to keep her away from us.
Phoebe, I need you upstairs!
Okay!
Coming!
Darryl, I'm sorry, I gotta go.
You're just gonna have to deal with this like the rest of us.
Phoebe Phoebe...
do I know her?
I don't know.
Do you?
There.
See?
Right there.
You got nothing to fear.
What are you talking about?
This says that you have the power to fire thermal blasts that can knock out ten demons at a time.
Yeah, but I told you, if I use them, then the sorcerer gets them and that would be bad.
But it also says that I can be vanquished by the Power of Three.
Hello.
See?
Right there.
What?
You touched it.
What?
You touched the book.
Oh, my god.
So I did.
I guess that means I'm good.
Stop it.
Maybe it does.
Maybe it doesn't.
The Book has been tricked before.
So have we.
Just recently as a matter of fact.
All righty then, that explains it.
So, what did this mistake cost you?
A colleague?
A friend?
A lover?
Actually, all of the above.
Hmm.
No wonder you're so indecisive.
I'm not indecisive.
You think I'm indecisive?
Paige, making mistakes is what makes us human.
Hey, sorry.
Put the boys down for a nap.
Who are you?
Drake, Phoebe.
Phoebe, Drake.
Uh, yeah.
He's an ex-demon.
What?!
Excuse me?
I thought you guys had lots of experience with demons who were human.
You married one, didn't you?
Yes, and divorced.
How did you know that?
You know, gossip.
Around the office cauldron.
Anyway, point is, girls, you don't know what it's like to be judged simply by the way you were born.
Look well at me and tell me, with what hope this vile protuberance can inspire my heart!
He's very dramatic.
I see that.
Look, I don't know why Cyrano is here, but he should probably leave because we have our own problems.
But, my dear Roxanne, feel'st thou my soul, here?
You know, then again, I don't have a date for valentine's day and he is kind of hot.
He's hot until you figure out how many people he's killed.
Whoa, hey, wait a minute.
I never killed anyone.
Except demons.
Killed plenty of them.
Join the club.
Sucks, doesn't it?
You're telling me in your whole demonic career you have not killed one innocent?
That's because since the day I was hatched I've been reading books, and they taught me about feelings.
Human feelings.
Love, sadness, death.
Since then, I could never harm an innocent.
I always found a way around doing that.
What do you think?
I kind of believe him.
You?
I don't know.
I'm gonna ask Piper.
Oh, come on, Paige, tell her I'm the right man for the job.
Job?
What job?
Fill her in.
I'll be back.
So, you, uh, you like Gene Kelly movies?
Love 'em.
Why?
Thanks for coming.
Of course.
After all that's happened, it's the least we could do.
Oh, please.
Don't apologize.
If anything, we've been far too lenient with him.
Lenient?
You tried to kill me.
You left us no choice.
Funny.
I feel the same way.
Gentlemen ...
neither side is without blame.
Perhaps we could put the past behind us.
And we will.
Once he's done the penance for his betrayal.
That's why I brought you here.
I should be able to defend myself before you issue judgment on me.
Oh, really?
And what would you say?
That what I did was for my family.
I was trying to create a better world for them.
For all of us.
Too bad you failed.
Perhaps it would be best if Leo and I spoke alone.
If you don't mind.
It hasn't been easy arguing on your behalf.
Thanks for trying.
One word of advice, Leo...
stay out of magical affairs or you just might make things even worse for yourself.
Wow.
Let me get this straight, you do musical theater as well?
Oh, I'm full of surprises.
What's this?
Another surprise.
Happy Valentine's Day.
And to you.
Get your paws off of her!
So much for romance.
Piper!
Ha ha!
We were just having fun.
You know ...
fun.
With the demon?
Phoebe, how many times have I told you not to play dress-up with the demons?
I'm sure it's harmless.
Incidentally, Piper, I am an ex-demon.
Look, buddy, we're not gonna let a demon or an ex-demon teach at Magic School.
It's ridiculous.
Maybe you're right.
Drake, I'm really sorry.
It's just not a real feasible thing for you to do this.
It could cause too many problems.
No, you're making a terrible mistake.
As an ex-demon, I can get through to these kids.
I can keep them from going down the path of evil.
Phoebe, talk to them.
Make them see reason.
I can't.
Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but it's just...
it's not really practical.
I'm sorry.
No, this is all wrong.
The problem here isn't me, it's you three.
You've been shaken to the core by what's happened with the avatars.
You, you just lost faith in yourself, and you, you've been disheartened by the fight, and you, sweetheart, you are just plain mean.
Watch it.
You're mean because you closed down your heart.
You're petrified it's gonna get broken again, aren't you?
You know, there's only one man I know who can solve all of these problems.
Oh, come on!
Robin Hood!
Oh, you!
I'm gonna hire you just so I can fire you.
Do we look merry to you?
Well, perhaps you should see the world as Robin Hood would have.
He believed in himself, and he also loved the thrill of the fight.
And despite the threat of imminent death, he found love with his dear Maid Marian.
Ohh, that's very sweet.
Isn't that - You should probably change us back.
Very well.
Kitchen.
Now.
Let's go.
You just give me one second.
I thought they'd never leave.
Vanquish him?
Are you sure?
Well, if he doesn't leave, we don't really have a choice.
But his heart is in the right place.
Now, let's see those powers, demon.
But on the other hand, he still has his demonic powers.
Hi.
Waffle much?
The darkness within cannot be undone.
Embrace your true self!
Oh!
Here we go again!
Damn it!
Drake!
Are you okay?
Drake?
Who's Drake?
I'm Robin.
Of Locksley.
Of course you are.
Stand and deliver!
Excellent.
John will be no match for me.
Uh, Robin?
You missed.
And if you put a hole in my wall, you'll have me to answer to, not some prince.
My apologies, my good woman, but my aim must be true if I am to right John's wrong.
Right.
Just be careful.
Please tell me you found a way to fix Robin in there.
Not yet.
Can't you just freeze him?
Nope, not freezin'.
Sorry, you guys.
Another big mistake bringing him here.
No, it's just our lives.
I can fix that!
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
Yeah, but I don't understand why it went wrong.
Why does the Sorcerer want to turn Drake into Robin Hood of all things?
I don't think he meant to.
I think he meant to bring out Drake's inner demon so he could use his powers.
But then I blasted him mid-spell, so, instead, we got his inner Robin Hood.
Royal hound!
Sorry!
My fault!
Well, another mistake for The Charmed Ones.
It wasn't a mistake.
It was an accident.
Either way we messed up.
O-o-okay ...
I found a vanquishing potion for the Sorcerer but, of course, there's no way to find him.
Well, how is finding the Sorcerer even gonna fix Drake anyway?
Actually, I think it will, because if we vanquish the Sorcerer, then it should reverse his magic.
Saxon dog!
Okay, well, I'll go to the magic school and I'll ask Miss Donovan to look through things and see if she can find something that helps us find the Sorcerer.
Or you could just do it yourself.
Yeah, well, I don't know the archives that well, and knowing me, I'd probably mess up.
What are we gonna do with her?
We'll fix her later.
Right now we need to deal with him.
What is he doing with my phone bill?
Marian, these taxes are outrageous!
Prince John has gone too far.
Ok, I'm not Marian, I'm Phoebe, remember?
And give me that!
Prince John has been dead for centuries.
He's not taxing anyone anymore.
Yeah.
The phone company is owned by a different John and he's...
well, a really swell guy.
Nonsense!
The evidence of his misdeeds is right there on the parchment.
You left that out?
Well, who knew?
I think it's high time I paid John a visit.
My steed!
Horsepower.
Wh-what--what kind of Robin Hood rides a motorcycle?
Forget that!
What are we gonna do?
We can't just let him go out there.
Especially not with Sheridan back.
Sheridan's back?
Did I forget to mention that?
Go with him.
What?
You're the Marian person.
Go with him!
Robin!
Wait ...
Okay ...
here we go.
Oh!
Okay.
Helmets, please, people!
Hold on, milady.
Okay, well, no Prince John here.
We should probably go home, huh?
What, and give up without a fight?
I think not.
Those riches belong to the people of Sherwood Forest.
We must see that they're returned.
I know.
But we can't just steal from the rich and give to the poor.
There's laws against that.
Marian, have you forgotten what it is to do good?
Next in line!
Hey, that guy's cutting!
Hey, hey, hey, Pocahontas.
There's a line.
Little John!
You came to join our merry band.
Excellent.
Who you callin' little?
Must we settle this with a quarterstaff duel?
Excuse me.
You wanna fight me?
Is that it?
No, no, no, no, no.
No, Robin, calm down.
Excuse me.
I'm the office manager here.
Is there a problem?
This nut job's trying to butt in line.
He just doesn't know any better.
You will tell me where Prince John is.
Who?
Prince John.
Ok, look.
We don't wanna kill the peasants.
That's not what we do.
Well, he is no peasant.
He's an accomplice to the prince's thievery.
What?
I didn't steal anything.
The hell you didn't.
I read the paper.
I know you've been screwin' us.
Thanks to you, I can't afford to take my wife out for valentine's day.
Oh, that's nothing.
They cut off my phone service for no reason and now they wanna charge me to reconnect it.
What about their lousy technicians?
I wasted a day of work waitin' on 'em.
See?
You're makin' all our lives miserable.
Kick his ass, Robin!
No, no, no.
Just tell him where John Normand is.
That's all he wants to know.
Corporate Headqarters.
Financial district.
Great.
We'll find it.
Come on.
Just don't tell 'em I sent you.
Good people of Sherwood, the prince has abused his power for far too long.
He lives in riches while you live in squalor.
Yeah!
It is high time we take back that which was stolen from you.
Damn right!
All those wishing to join my fight, you follow me!
Stand down if you know what's good for you.
Hey!
What are you doing?
Marian.
You're just in time.
To the end of Prince John's tyranny!
You can't do this!
But you heard what the prince has done to these people.
How can you turn a blind eye to that?
Or has your heart really grown that cold?
Fill your hearts and fill your bellies!
Okay, the police are comin'.
We gotta go.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
Come on.
Come on.
Oh.
Oh, please.
Please.
So ...
You can astral project.
That could come in very handy later.
Morning, sunshine.
What do you want with me?
Well, I'm afraid I couldn't bring the demon out of Drake as I'd planned.
I was interrupted by The Charmed Ones.
Then they'll probably come for you.
Which is why I'll need you to serve as a distraction when the time is right.
Oh, why did I ever come down here?
I should have stayed in the library!
The library?
Well, then, you are indeed a prize.
Why?
What do you mean?
The witches' interference made my spell go awry.
Drake is unstable now, and I need to use this to my advantage.
So.
Tell me ...
what do you know about Robin Hood?
No, Phoebe, you can't take him to John Norman's office.
That is a very bad idea.
You have to bring him back here.
I said, you have to bring him back here!
Phoebe?
Phoebe!
Damn it.
Do I really need this today, or ever?
Relax.
You can handle it.
This, coming from the man who refuses to help.
Well, I told you I'm afraid that I'm gonna piss off the Elders and they can recycle me, Piper.
You don't want that, do you?
No, of course not.
But it's just we were this close to a life without Elders, without demons, without freakin' Robin Hood running through the streets threatening to expose us.
I know.
But this is the life that we have now, and we have to make the best out of it, okay?
So relax.
You can handle it just like you've done before.
Thank you.
Don't remind me.
Have you guys seen the news?
No.
Weren't you at magic school?
Yeah.
We have satellite.
He apparently threw the stolen cash into the crowd, inciting a near riot.
Police have launched a search for the man who bystanders describe as a modern day Robin Hood.
Mm.
Still think I can handle this one?
Just like the good old days.
Bite your tongue.
Okay, you know what?
I should go warn Darryl.
Because the cops have no idea what they're up against.
No, no, no, wait.
I need you to write a vanquishing spell.
Why?
You have the potion.
Not for the sorcerer.
For Drake.
For Drake?
Really?
We need to be able to stop him, and this may be the only way.
Leo, can you warn Darryl?
Uh, what about the Elders?
Oh, for god sakes.
I don't think they're gonna strike you down for making a phone call.
Right.
You know what?
I found a spell at magic school and it should be able to summon the Sorcerer.
That way, we don't have to vanquish Drake.
You mean, Miss Donovan found it?
No.
I found it.
Come to think of it, I haven't actually seen Miss Donovan in a little while.
Look, anyway, the point is with my spell, we can summon the Sorcerer.
With your potion, we can vanquish him, and that kinda fixes the whole Drake thing, yeah?
Maybe.
But if that doesn't work, we need a plan B.
We've gotta stop Drake somehow.
Well, I guess it can't hurt.
Exactly.
The last thing we need is another news report like that one.
He's a what?
A ex-demon.
But he still has powers.
So be careful.
You don't want the cops to provoke him too much.
He could take out half the force.
If Sheridan finds out, that could be a trigger, man.
A trigger.
I'm sorry?
For her memory.
If she remembers she was after them, then she will be all over us again.
Well, then, you can't let her find out.
Thanks for the tip, Leo.
Good news, Lieutenant.
Captain wants us to work together.
So where are we going, partner?
Hey!
What's the matter with you, moron?!
So we're just gonna talk to the guy, right?
We're not actually gonna kill him.
No, of course not.
As long as he promises to give back every last penny.
Wait, what do you mean, every last penny?
Look, I don't think this is a good idea.
Marian, you've come so far.
You must be strong enough to finish the fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
Do not let all we've done be for naught.
Darryl.
The Sheriff of Nottingham.
It's about time he arrived.
Freeze!
What?
No!
Unh!
Sheridan.
Marian!
Marian!
Oh, my god.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
But you're under arrest.
Where's the other one?
He got away.
Prince John?
We meet at last.
What the hell is this?
The end of your reign.
You'll never make it outta here.
You know that.
I mean, the cops'll have you inside of two minutes.
You need not worry about me, sire.
Wh--what--what exactly do you mean?
Did my ex-wife send you?
I'm here to rob you.
Of course.
Well, uh, in that case, we'd better get right to it, and you can be on your merry way.
Now who should I make this out to?
You will return all that you have stolen to every last person in your domain.
But I have millions of customers.
Then I suggest that you get started.
Hold your position.
But nobody make a move unless I say so.
You should really get that wound checked.
No, thanks.
I've missed enough.
And Ms.
Halliwell here was just telling me a very interesting story.
Wait.
You don't believe me?
I think it's a little far-fetched, don't you think?
You get kidnapped by Robin Hood, forced to go on a crime spree, only to be saved in the end by us.
That's a nice touch.
Let her go, Sheridan.
I told you, she's a friend.
Okay, you know what?
Sheridan, I'm a good person, and I really think that I can help you out in this situation if you'll just let me.
Do you really think you can?
Yeah, I do.
He and I have a connection, and he's a little messed up right now.
But I really think that I could break through to him.
But I gotta talk to him.
That's completely out of the question.
It's dangerous, and it breaks procedure.
You know what?
He's dangerous, and you have no idea what he's capable of.
Lieutenant, we're in position.
We've got a clear shot.
Hold your fire.
She's goin' in.
What?
Morris.
That's an order, Inspector.
Thank you, Darryl.
You know, there's something oddly familiar about all this.
Let's get that wound checked.
Sorcerer of darkness, demon of fright, I call you now into my sight.
Maybe I can just try it again.
No, Paige.
You've tried three times.
It's not working.
He must be protecting himself somehow.
I could have copied it down wrong.
Paige, it's not your first day as a witch, you know?
It's just, we're running out of options.
You saw the news.
I think it's "time we go to plan B.
I think getting rid of him would be a big mistake.
So would letting an innocent die.
Look, if you're not gonna trust yourself, at least trust me.
Because it's certainly not my first day.
Paige!
Miss Donovan.
Why are you astral projecting?
Please, I don't have time.
The Sorcerer took me prisoner.
What?
I swear, I was just tryin' to check out Drake, and, you know, it turns out he's not so bad.
It was the Sorcerer that I should have been worried about.
It's okay.
We know all about it.
Don't panic.
Because now that we know where you are, we could scry for you, and get you out of there, and just vanquish him.
Oh, thank you.
Now I gotta go.
Looks like Drake just got a reprieve.
Well-played, my dear.
I wish I could have told them what you were planning.
If you had, you'd be dead by now.
At least now, you'll live a touch longer than The Charmed Ones will.
You see, thanks to your message, they're now focused on saving you.
Too bad my lair is protected against summoning and scrying.
It won't take them long to figure it out.
Oh, but by then, I'll have Drake's powers.
How can you be so sure?
Well, you see, once a demon, always a demon.
I just need to remind drake of that by casting a spell on Prince John.
Come on.
You cannot expect me to write all these checks.
Oh, oh, Robin!
Don't shoot.
It's me, your Marian.
Milady.
How did you lose the sheriff?
Oh, me and the sheriff go way back.
Now listen.
Ooh!
Uh, don't you think it's time we let the Prince go?
I'm sure he's learned his lesson by now.
Haven't you, John?
Oh, oh, yeah, oh.
Oh, I'm--I'm-- I'm heartbroken here, man.
I didn't realize what I was doing to those poor people.
I mean, thank you, Robin.
You have really shown me the error of my ways.
I swear, I am going to change.
See?
That's great.
That's great.
I know you don't wanna hurt him.
What about the money?
He can't be trusted.
Well, if you can't trust him, then trust me.
Look, today you reminded me what it's like to do good.
To make a difference and to help people.
Now let me help you.
Come with me before you do something you'll regret.
Sorry.
Oh, I cannot believe that you actually fell for that.
Pardon?
I mean, really.
You think I give a rat's ass about some poor schmo who's too stupid to know he's being suckered?
There's no way in hell I'm giving this money back.
Oh, no.
The Sorcerer.
Well, I don't think Darryl can hold off the cops any longer.
You're running out of time.
What would you like me to do about that?
The crystal's not dropping.
This isn't right, you guys.
We're being played.
Come on, Paige.
You're not gonna do any of us any good by waffling now.
I'm not waffling.
Look.
Fine.
I admit, okay, I've been out of it since the whole thing with the Avatars and with Kyle.
But I can't keep beating myself up over the mistakes that we've made.
I have to move on.
I think we all do.
I'm not sure it's that easy.
Maybe it's not.
But I have to try, right?
I mean, Drake said that I have to start trusting my instincts again.
Otherwise, I'm not gonna be able t help him or Miss Donovan or anybody.
So what are your instincts telling you now?
That Miss Donovan's just a distraction.
Otherwise, we would have found her by now.
Okay.
Say you're right.
So you think the sorcerer is after Drake?
He wants his powers, doesn't he?
Drake's bound to use those at some point or another.
You will give the money back.
Or what, you gonna shoot me with an arrow?
Come on.
I'm evil.
You can do better than that.
Don't listen to him.
He's under a spell.
You've gotta punish me.
Destroy me or I'll keep doing evil and I don't give a damn who gets hurt.
Single moms, old people, kids, even your little maid here.
She's not my maid!
Oh, my god.
Help me.
Please.
Hello.
Looks like your instincts were right.
We believe that's Billionaire John Norman being hurled out of the window by some -- Just wish I'd trusted them sooner.
A deal is a deal.
You, off to purgatory, my boy.
Well ...
what are you waiting for?
Come and get me.
This was the scene of chaos just minutes ago when the man known as Robin Hood detonated what appears to have been a homemade bomb.
Fortunately, billionaire John Norman escaped injury with the aid of local advice columnist Phoebe Halliwell.
As you can see behind me ...
Piper, we don't have a choice.
We have to go after the sorcerer.
I realize that.
But he knows we're coming.
He'll set a trap for us.
What happened?
You said Drake was missing.
No, actually.
We lost him.
But if we vanquish the Sorcerer, then we should be able to reverse the magic and get Drake out of purgatory.
Well, if we can use the vanquishing spell I wrote to get rid of Drake, then it should work on getting rid of the Sorcerer.
How can you be sure that it's gonna work?
Because I trust my gut.
It helped us find the Sorcerer, right?
And it was right about Drake.
He is an innocent.
We have to save him.
Otherwise, everything he's done will have been for naught.
For naught?
The point is is we have to save Drake.
I don't know.
I think Drake's caused enough trouble for one day.
I'll say.
We'll be lucky if he doesn't trigger Sheridan's memory.
Not to mention Prince John and all the magic he saw.
Okay, John won't remember a thing and we can worry about Sheridan tomorrow.
You worry tomorrow.
I'll worry today.
Found Miss Donovan.
Probably the Sorcerer, too.
See?
Wasn't that a little too easy?
I'm telling you, it's a trap.
Maybe we should start thinking more like Robin Hood.
Excuse me?
It won't be long now.
I've lowered the cave's protections.
Which means The Charmed Ones are on their way.
To vanquish you, I'm sure.
Oh, I'm sure they'll try.
But we're on my turf now.
And they'll be no match for my new powers.
I'm not so sure about that.
Well, well, well.
I'll give you this much.
You're getting better at that.
You don't even need to be asleep anymore.
I'm a fast learner.
Me, too.
Well, that's wonderful.
But I don't think I have time for this right now.
You should make time.
What the hell?
'Cause you never know.
It's true.
You never know when your time is up.
The Charmed Ones.
Evil blasts we cannot use; The Power of Three now lights their fuse.
Nicely done.
What about Drake?
Ow!
That's hot!
That's not gonna ...
Drake.
You saved me?
Of course.
What would you expect from Maid Marian?
And your Merry Men.
Women.
Excuse me.
Do you mind?
That was interesting, huh?
I guess.
I just can't believe we're back in the underworld back vanquishing demons again.
Oh, I don't know.
After all, it is pretty romantic, isn't it?
You've gotta be kidding.
No, not at all.
Most of the world's greatest lovers were brought together during a time of epic conflict.
Admittedly, most of them were doomed.
But they did find the romance in it.
So why can't you?
Hey.
I thought you might wanna see this. "
A hero."
Now aren't you glad you didn't arrest her?
Well, I don't know.
She didn't help us get the guy.
She didn't promise to.
She promised to help.
Yeah, but still, don't you think it's just a little weird?
I mean, she goes inside.
The perp gets away.
But yet, there's no trail to follow, no leads.
I mean, it's almost as though he just disappeared.
We'll get him.
Good night, Sheridan.
Oh.
You look great in all your, uh, teacher-ness.
Oh, that little old thing?
Okay, well, I brought you your class schedule and your student roster, and I, uh, have assigned you a T.A ...
Miss Donovan.
She's not sore for being passed over?
Well, I think she was a little freaked out by what happened.
She did wanna run back to the peace and quiet of the library.
But I've talked her into helping you out in class.
Mm.
Well, I guess it's all for the best.
Someone's gotta take over.
Why, are you planning on being absent a lot?
No, I mean, in case it doesn't work out.
We agreed it would just be temporary at first.
I mean, you may change your mind in a couple weeks.
I may need to move on.
I will not change my mind.
Trust me.
Anybody - anybody who can get through the thick skulls of my lovely sisters and I can definitely get through to those kids.
Even though I'm a little crazy?
Because you are a lot crazy.
No, look, magic school's protected.
It's okay.
Give it your best shot.
Just came by to see the new professor.
All right.
Well, um, I promised Piper and Leo that I'd baby-sit for them tonight.
They're going out celebrating Valentine's Day.
Mm-mmm.
Finding a little romance, are they?
Thanks to you, yeah.
Oh, I'm not done yet.
Really?
Ok, well, great awkward moment for me.
So I'll be going, and there's a night class in five minutes.
Don't forget.
So I thought you'd like to see tomorrow's newspaper.
Looks like Prince John is gonna give back everything he stole.
Guess he just needed to be reminded of his mortality.
Works every time.
Phoebe...
there's something I have to tell you.
You know the deal I made that made me human...
well, that only lasts a year.
At the end of it, I gotta die.
Wh--are you kidding?
No.
Uh-uh.
But listen, it was well worth the sacrifice.
Now all I wanna do is I wanna pass on what I've learned about literature, about life, and about love.
How long do you have?
Two weeks.
Oh.
Wh -- I mean--I mean, can we try to fix it?
Mm, you can't.
And you know what?
It's all good.
See ya.
