Episode: 15 (Season 3)

[Cut downstairs Everyone but Piper and Patty are standing around the room.]

Grams: Places, places everyone.

(The doorbell rings.)

Prue: Don't answer that.
Piper: (from upstairs) Can somebody answer that?
Prue: Ooh, I'll get it. (Prue answers the door. Darryl is there.) Hey, you're late. Where were you?
Darryl: Out saving your ass.
Prue: Huh?
Darryl: Police have your picture. You're wanted for murder. They said you fled custody this morning.
Phoebe: Oh my god, that was your dream.
Darryl: They don't have your name yet but it's only a matter of time.
Grams: Girls!
Prue: Alright, let's just stay cool and we'll get downtown and straighten this out later. But we have to get through the wedding first, okay? For Piper?
Phoebe: For Piper. (They look at Darryl.) You're supposed to say 'For Piper'.
Darryl: Alright, it better be a quick wedding.

(Prue, Phoebe and Darryl go into the room and stand in place.)

Grams: Everything looks perfect except Victor, could you move a little to your left.
Victor: Sure, why?
Grams: Well, to make room for...

(Patty walks in.)

Victor: Patty.
Patty: Hello, Victor, how are you?
Victor: Good. I mean, I was good. Alright, who brought my ex-wife back from the dead?
Grams: Not now, Victor. I know you two have issues but that's what the reception is for.

(Grams starts the music and Piper walks down the stairs. Victor walks over to her and she holds onto his arm. He takes her up to Leo.)

Phoebe: We did it. It's really happening.

(Suddenly, TJ rides through the front door on his motorbike. He knocks over the flowers and then knocks over the table and all the glassware smashes on the floor. He stops in front of the table the cake is sitting on.)

TJ: Prue!
Phoebe: Who the hell is that?
Prue: Oh, oh, oh no. (Prue faints.)
Phoebe: Prue? (Astral Prue appears.)
Astral Prue: TJ. (She runs over to him. Grams gasps.) You came.

(Prue gets on the back of the bike.)

TJ: Had to beat the cops. I won't let them take you.
Piper: Prue, what the hell is going on?
Phoebe: Prue, you get your astral ass back here! (TJ rides off, knocking the cake table. Piper gasps. The three tiered cake falls on the floor.) Honey...
Piper: Alright, that's it! The wedding is off! (She throws her veil on the floor. She tries to walk but Phoebe is standing on her dress.) Phoebe!
Phoebe: Sorry! Sorry! (Piper walks away.) Piper, Piper, wait, think about this.

Commercial Break

[Scene: Manor. Continued from before. Piper is putting on a sweater.]

Phoebe: Piper, Piper, you can not just leave.
Piper: Yes, I can. A demon I could have handled, but my big sister ruining my wedding, I can not handle that.
Phoebe: Okay, just listen to me for one second. All we have to do is find a way.
Piper: No, no, I don't wanna find a way to get married on my wedding day. It's-it's too hard. There must be a reason.

(Leo walks over to them.)

Leo: Piper...
Piper: Leo, I'm sorry, but this is just the final straw. It's just not meant to be.

(Piper leaves the manor.)

[Cut to the living room. Victor lays Prue on the couch. Leo and Phoebe walk in.]

Phoebe: I've never seen Piper so defeated. (Leo sits on the other couch.) Prue, come on, wake up. Prue, come on.
Patty: Honey, you won't get her back that way. Apart of Prue wanted to escape and it used her astral self to do it.
Grams: If the wedding's off, I have to go. I'm only here to conduct the ceremony. I'm sorry.

(Grams disappears.)

Victor: Maybe Piper's right. Maybe the wedding just wasn't meant to be.
Patty: Victor.
Victor: All I'm saying is maybe the gods are just trying to spare them the pain that we went through.
Leo: No. All I need is what's inside of me to know that Piper and I are meant to be together. (He stands up.) What happened here today...
Phoebe: Piper and Leo's love have touched us all. We have to fix this.

(Darryl's pager beeps.)

Darryl: I gotta go fend of the parse.
Victor: What parse?
Darryl: Prue's wanted for murder. I'll stay in touch by cell phone.

(Darryl leaves.)

Patty: Murder?
Leo: (to Phoebe) You knew about this?
Phoebe: I just found out when Morris told Prue. But it's obviously a mistake. I mean, Prue wouldn't murder anybody.
Cole: You sure? I mean, Prue's astral form seems to have taken a life of its own. How do you know she didn't do it?
Phoebe: Because I know her.
Cole: Oh, yeah.
Phoebe: At least I think I do.
Leo: Alright, alright, you guys find Piper, bring her back here somehow. Phoebe, Book of Shadows, see if there's a spell to bring astral Prue back. Cole, you and me are gonna do a little investigating of our own. Alright, come on you guys. We've got a wedding to save.

[Scene: The bar. Cole shimmers in and Leo orbs in.]

Cole: Hmm, interesting place to dream about.
Leo: Especially for Prue.

(They start to walk around.)

Cole: Based on what Morris said, someone must have knifed the victim after Astral Prue away.
Leo: By the looks of this crowd, it could be anybody.
Cole: No, not anybody. Very few humans have the heart of a true killer. One who kills without prejudice.
Leo: How do you know?
Cole: I can always sense it. Before I suppressed my demonic self for Phoebe, I can sense how human killers form inside. He's here.
Leo: The murderer? You sure?
Cole: That he's our murderer? No. But he's got fresh blood on his hands. Go update Morris.

(Leo walks away.)

[Cut to P3. Patty and Victor walk down the stairs.]

Patty: Just let me do the talking. You always had a way of saying the wrong thing when they were young.
Victor: Wrong, according to you, you never opened to what I had to say because you wanted to raise them as witches... (They see Piper sitting across the room.) Instead of little girls.

(They walk over to Piper.)

Patty: We were worried.
Piper: I'm sorry, I let everyone down.
Victor: Honey, you have nothing to apologise for.
Patty: It is a tribute to you and Leo that you made it as far as you did, I think.
Piper: Yeah, but we didn't make it all the way.
Patty: Not yet maybe, but...
Piper: Not ever. I mean, I think it's obvious, don't you? Leo and I are just clearly not...
Patty: Destined to be? Oh, I don't believe that. And I don't think that you really believe that either.
Piper: Don't I? All I have to do is look at you and dad to see where I might end up if I marry Leo. I mean, look at the track record. The Halliwells, we are blessed as witches and we are cursed as women. Sometimes I think we're all destined to end up alone.
Patty: You don't really... I mean, just because... Victor.
Victor: You think your mother and I were cursed?
Piper: Don't you?
Victor: Honestly, I look back at those days as the best of my life. I loved your mother, she was the best thing that ever happened to me until the three of you came along.
Piper: But your marriage still didn't last.
Victor: Yeah, that hurt. A lot. But it was our love that gave birth to you and your sisters. Maybe that was my destiny.
Piper: I'm sorry, I just need to be alone.

(She walks away.)

Patty: Not bad for a guy who always says the wrong things.
Victor: Thanks. I just wish I knew that it helped.

Commercial Break

[Scene: Manor. Living room. Phoebe is there flipping through the Book of Shadows. She finds a spell.]

Phoebe: Gotcha.

[Cut to TJ and Prue at a park. TJ is lying down and Prue is sitting next to him.]

TJ: I've just gotta know. How'd you get away from the cops?
Prue: You know, I don't really wanna talk about that. I mean, I'm here now, that's all that really matters, right?
TJ: Yeah, but for how long?
Prue: Do you care?
TJ: Well, I did crash your sister's wedding.
Prue: Yes, you did.
TJ: And I am harburing you from the cops.
Prue: And I appreciate that.
TJ: I may definitely pass for a state behaviour
Prue: So then why are you still talking?
TJ: Prue, I don't need much, but I need to know one thing... are you gonna take off from me again tonight?
Prue: You know, I hadn't really thought about it. I mean, for the first time in my life I'm free, so I'm sorta just living moment to moment. Is that okay?
TJ: I'm cool with that.
Prue: Cool with that. (They kiss. Prue breaks the kiss.) Oh, not now.
TJ: What's wrong? (Prue runs away.) Prue? (Prue runs behind the bushes.) Prue, where are you going?

(She holds onto a tree.)

Prue: No, I'm free. I'm not going back.

(Prue astral projects out of the park.)

[Cut to the manor. Phoebe is sitting on the couch. Prue astral projects in.]

Prue: No, I will not let you take me!

(Prue looks around. Phoebe slams the Book of Shadows shut.)

Phoebe: Nice spell, huh?
Prue: How dare you.
Phoebe: How dare you. You destroyed Piper's wedding along with Piper. Now, Prue, I don't know what's going on with you but you have got to pull yourself together.
Prue: I'm outta here. (Prue starts to walk away. Phoebe gets up and grabs Prue's shoulder. Prue flips Phoebe onto the ground.) You know what? (She grabs Phoebe by the throat.) You can not stop me, alright. I am never going back. I'm not going... (Phoebe swings her around onto the couch.) Alright, you know what? I am sick of this. She is all about duty and obligation, well not me. Alright, I want to be free, I wanna find love, I wanna have a life.
Phoebe: Well, Prue, you have responsibilities whether you like it or not.
Prue: Don't talk to me about being responsible, Phoebe. Alright, you were not very responsible when you went and fell in love with a demon.
Phoebe: Oh, please, you have got to let this whole Cole thing go, okay? You can't stay mad at me forever.
Prue: I'm not mad at you, Phoebe, I never was. Alright, she was. I was rooting for you.
Phoebe: Okay, now you're scaring me.
Prue: You risked everything for love, just like Piper and Leo. I dream of having that kind of freedom but instead I get stuck watching my sisters live my dream.
Phoebe: Wait a minute, you astraled out in a dream when your subconscious takes over.
Prue: So what?
Phoebe: So I just studied this in psych 101. Freud. You're the ID. Prue's inner desires. Which means that she is the ego. The control factor.
Prue: Yeah, well, she is one big remote control and she's always got me on pause.
Phoebe: I think I understand. The sacrifices that you've made for us over the years. They made you suppress your inner desires.

(Astral Prue sits down beside Prue.)

Prue: Yeah, well, don't tell me, tell her.
Phoebe: No, I'm telling you because you are Prue. I mean, you are both two sides of my sister. Prue, you have to stop devoting your entire self to the Charmed Ones. It'll tear you apart. Literally.
Prue: Is Piper very mad at me?
Phoebe: She'll get over it. And you know why? Because we're okay now, Piper and me. We've both got passion and purpose in our lives and you gave us that.
Prue: I did?
Phoebe: You took care of us. And now it's time to take care of you. (Prue astral projects back in her body. Prue sits up.) Welcome back.
Prue: Thanks. For everything. Oh, no. (She walks into the next room and sees the mess.) Oh. I can not believe I wrecked Piper's wedding.
Phoebe: Only a part of you did.
Prue: Is it too late to fix it?

(The lights go out.)

Phoebe: Oh, now what?

(Suddenly, the door flies open and cops burst in.)

Cop #1: Police! Stay where you are! Don't move!
Inspector: Prue Halliwell? You're under arrest... for murder.

Commercial Break

[Scene: Police station. Prue is there getting her photo taken. A cop takes her into a room.]

Cop: Alright, sit down. The inspector will be with you shortly.

(Prue sits down.)

Prue: This is all our fault.

[Cut to the bar. Leo and Darryl walk in. They go up to Cole.]

Leo: Prue's been booked for murder. We're running out of time.
Darryl: Leo says you've found the killer.
Cole: Found a killer.
Darryl: Oh, great, you mean you don't know? What are you gonna do? Ask him?

(The biker walks past them. He stops and stares, then continues to walk.)

Cole: That's a good idea. Why don't you meet me out front in five.

(He walks away.)

[Cut to outside. The biker is there smoking a cigarette. Cole walks over to him.]

Cole: Is that the spot where they found the body?
Biker #2: Who are you?
Cole: I'm here to find out what you know about the murder that took place here last night.
Biker #2: Show me your badge.
Cole: Oh, no, I'm not a cop. I'm a fortune teller and I predict you're gonna give me a confession.
Biker #2: You're a funny man, huh? Excuse me, huh?

(He starts to walk away but Cole grabs him. The biker pushes Cole into his motorbike. He pulls out a knife. Cole gets back up. The biker swings the knife at Cole but misses.)

Cole: I guess that's the knife you used on the victim when you found him unconscious, right?
Biker #2: You wanna closer look at it, huh?

(He tries to stab Cole but Cole grabs his wrist.)

Cole: One more chance. Confess now and talk to the police.
Biker #2: Or what?

(Cole changes into Belthazor.)

Belthazor: Or deal with me. (Darryl and Leo walk outside. Darryl sees Belthazor and gets out his gun. Belthazor turns to Darryl.) I think he's ready to talk.

[Cut to the manor. Patty is putting the bride and groom back onto the cake. Phoebe is lighting candles.]

Leo: I don't get it. Prue should be back by now, the police have the killer.
Cole: They might have held her over for escaping custody.
Victor: Can we get some light while we're waiting?
Patty: Yeah.
Phoebe: No, dad, the police cut the power line.

(Grams appears.)

Grams: I'm sorry, Patty. They sent me to take you back.
Phoebe: No, it's not midnight yet, we still have five more minutes.
Victor: I should have said something more to convince Piper.
Patty: But you said everything, you were wonderful.

(Prue and Darryl walk in. Victor shines the flashlight on them.)

Darryl: Sorry we're late.
Prue: What, no who you were expecting?

(Piper walks in.)

Piper: So, okay, what are we waiting for? (Piper takes off her sweater.) (to Leo) Don't look so shocked.
Grams: Girls, it's show time.

(Everyone stands in place. Prue puts on Piper's veil.)

Piper: Little help here.
Victor: (to Leo) I noticed you don't have a best man. If you like, I could, uh...
Leo: I'd be honoured.
Phoebe: Oh, no, there's no power for music.

(Grams makes the wind chimes chime.)

Prue: Alright, is that the best that we can do on the lights? (Leo makes clouds of bright lights appear above them.) That's more like it.

(Grams clears her throat.)

Grams: We are gathered here today to unite two souls as one. Do you, Leo Wyatt, and Piper Halliwell, join us here of your own free will to acknowledge the eternal bond shared by both of you.
Leo: I do.
Piper: I do.
Grams: You may face each other, join hands. (They do so.) Uh, Leo, you may recite your vows.
Leo: Piper, through all the tears and struggles, I always knew in my heart that we'd make it here. I promise to love and respect you from this point forward as your husband, as my wife, my lover, my friend, and my soul mate. All I am is yours.
Grams: Piper...
Piper: Leo, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was afraid that you were too good to be true, that maybe I didn't deserve someone so pure and beautiful and loving as you are. But here we are surrounded by the people that I love the most and I feel so proud, and so blessed to be your wife. Leo, I was born to love you and I always will.
Grams: Here before witnesses, Leo and Piper have sworn their vows towards each other. With this cord, I bind them to those vows.

(A rope is loosely tied around their hand.)

Piper, Leo: Heart to thee, body to thee, always and forever, so mote it be.
Grams: So mote it be.
All: So mote it be.

(The clock strikes twelve.)

Grams: Kiss her fast.

(Piper and Leo kiss. Everyone applauds and grins.)
