02x06 - When Sparks Fly

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Charmed HARRY: But you need to jump!

Go now.

Do it!

MEL: There's a shape-shifter out there who looks exactly like you.

I think I'm getting my powers back.

Something happened with Jordan.

I shook his hand, and in my head, - I had this vision.

- [MAGICAL CHIME]

[CHUCKLING]

: I love you.

- Where's Macy?

- She's not with you?

- MAGGIE: We saw her leave with you.

- It was him.

My darklighter.

The Elders used their acolytes to separate us into two Whitelighters and darklighters.

And someone let the other half out.

The darklighter has a master.

Macy is missing, Harry.

- We need to try Absum Veri.

- MAGGIE: What is that?

A tracking spell.

The last witch to try Absum Veri - was found not alive.

- [MEL AND MAGGIE SCREAM]

MAGGIE: Oh, my God.

MEL: Coordinates.

New York City.

Lower Manhattan.

Tribeca.

If Macy's in danger, why isn't a red light showing up?

- Because she's not in danger.

- How do you know that?

He has feelings for her.

How do you know that?

The darklighter He and I are the same person.

[ELECTRICAL CRACKLING]

[COUGHING]

What's happening?

Who are you?

MALE VOICE: Your new master.

Now get up.

[GASPS SOFTLY]

[GROANS]

MEL: Macy, get over here.

- [PANTING]: Harry.

- Quick, I can orb again.

Long story.

Tell them to go.

[CLASSICAL PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

[FAUCET RUNNING, DISHES CLINKING]

Harry?

Macy.

[CHUCKLING] : Ah, thank God.

[SIGHS]

How are you feeling?

Confused.

The-the last thing I remember The darklighter orbed you away.

We tracked you down, rescued you Thankfully before anything untoward happened.

Why don't I remember anything?

You've been unconscious.

What?

For how long?

Two days.

Two days?

We took turns at your bedside.

I was so afraid that I'd lost you.

Where's Maggie and Mel?

[TIMER DINGS]

Sorry.

Dinner.

A fillet.

You must be starving.

And I was just about to open this.

Château Montenau?

I know it's a bit much.

But it's a special occasion.

We're celebrating.

That you're safe.

[SETS BOTTLE ON COUNTER]

Yes.

[CHUCKLES]

Celebrate the good times.

That's what I always say.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

You do, don't you?

[MATCH STRIKES]

What's the saying?

"From a little spark may burst a flame"?

[BLOWS]

Dante.

Yes.

[TIMER DINGS]

Oh, that's the gratin Dauphinois.

I won't be long.

Everything all right?

Yes.

I-I was just gonna get some air.

But, uh but it can wait.

MEL: The tracking spell revealed Macy's whereabouts New York City But there's not a red light in the whole state.

Maybe he's used some sort of cloaking device?

Or, like Harry said, she's not in danger.

Because the darklighter has feelings for her and so does he, because they Share a brain or HARRY: We don't Share a brain.

We share memories.

And feelings.

I searched The Book of Elders.

Nothing provides any guidance here.

I've got a tiny bit of cloaking serum left and a bunch of other potions, but none of them seem particularly helpful.

Well, we know she's in Lower Manhattan.

I think we should just portal there.

New York's a big place.

Yeah, well, maybe I can use my new power, see if I can get a vision.

And we're back to touching Jordan again.

Stop.

Look, I know it's a long sh*t, but I've had a vision that's come true.

Maybe, if I focus, I can conjure up an image of her and find where she is.

It may be a long sh*t, but it's the only sh*t we've got right now.

I need you both to understand something about the darklighter.

He may not k*ll Macy, but he's capable of things you and I cannot even fathom.

He's all id, and his desires cannot be underestimated.

We need to find Macy by any means necessary, before it's too late.

You hardly ate.

Uh, I'm just trying to savor every bite.

[SLOW, ROMANTIC PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

Ah, this song It's one of my favorites.

Not to be too forward, uh, but May I have this dance?

I can't help but wonder Hmm?

If I'm under a spell It's more than a passing notion MACY: Can I ask you a question?

Would you mind If I changed into something A little more appropriate for the occasion?

And what occasion is that?

I can't help You.

And me.

How wonderful this might be Alone, finally.

[WHISPERS] : There's that little red dress you like.

[SONG ENDS]

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Yeah.

I'll be waiting.

[GLORIA GAYNOR'S "I WILL SURVIVE" PLAYING]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live Without you by my side What is happening?

Uh, it's Rando Karaoke Night.

Song is randomly selected for the singer.

- Whose stupid idea was that?

- Yeah.

Okay, first, it's not stupid.

And second, as SafeSpace assistant manager, my job includes social events.

I should have made you leave your key There's our target.

You'd be back to bother me Go on now, go And he's with Mrs.

Target.

She's draped all over him like a blanket.

Oh, believe me, you're not getting within two feet of that fellow.

I will survive Hey, hey.

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]

Thank you, Benita, for that excellent rendition of "I Will Survive.

" The question is: Will we?

[LAUGHTER]

Next up is Oh, yeah, this guy's got some pipes.

It's Jordan Chase, our resident boxing coach.

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]

SWAN: Ready for the rando challenge?

I pick a song, and you sing it long.

- Bring it on, Swan.

- [LAUGHS]

How about a duet?

So rando, Maggie.

I'm in.

Who else is in for a rando duet?

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]

And you continue to surprise.

Even myself.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

SWAN: Are we ready?

And let's climb a mountain together.

["AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH" BEGINS]

[GRUNTS]

Listen, baby MAN: Jordan, you rule!

Ain't no mountain high Ain't no valley low Ain't no river wide enough, baby If you need me, call me No matter where you are - No matter how far - Don't worry, baby Just call my name I'll be there in a hurry You don't have to worry BOTH: 'Cause, baby, there - Ain't no mountain high enough - [CHEERING]

Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough To keep me from getting to you, babe Remember the day I set you free [FADING] : I told you you could always count on me, darling [BREATHING RAPIDLY]

Harry.

Harry, can you hear me?

DIRTY HARRY: Everything all right up there?

Yeah.

Just trying to find that dress.

No wind, no rain Or winter's cold Can stop me, baby No, no, baby 'Cause you are my goal If you're ever in trouble I'll be there on the double Just send for me Oh, baby My love is alive, way down in my heart Although we are miles apart JORDAN: If you ever need a helping hand I'll be there on the double just as fast as I can [FADING] : Don't you know that there Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough To keep me from getting to you, babe.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

What the?

[GASPS]

This isn't real.

Oh, my God.

- I guess you worked it out.

- [GASPS]

Things were just getting interesting.

I focused on finding Macy and I saw something.

- What?

- A flash, an image.

It was too quick, he pulled away, but it was something.

- Explain.

- I can't.

I don't know how it works or why it works but it does.

Then you need to get him alone and touch him everywhere.

Harry.

We don't have any time to waste.

How is she supposed to do that and not get arrested?

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Any trapped-in-an-elevator spells in that fanny pack of yours?

What gave me away?

Everything.

I was hoping we could spend some quality time together Before the inevitable unpleasantness, yeah?

That's okay.

We can just skip right to the unpleasantness.

Aw.

[CHUCKLES]

Your powers have been neutralized.

I thought that would've been obvious by now.

It's fetching, isn't it?

Just like your dress.

The one my lesser half likes you to wear.

Don't talk about Harry.

Don't even say his name.

Aw.

He's special to you, isn't he?

But I think you like me better.

You disgust me.

Oh, no, no, no.

I don't believe you, Macy.

I'm different from him.

And you like it.

What do you want?

What's the point of this Keeping me prisoner?

[LAUGHS]

Prisoner.

Whatever gave you that idea?

Go ahead.

Call them.

Your sisters.

Please.

And that's the plan.

Use me as bait for them.

Yeah.

That's gonna be a hard pass.

Fine.

Well, fortunately, there's always a plan B.

Et voilà .

[HORN HONKING IN DISTANCE]

Manhattan?

Ah, there's nothing like the New York City skyline.

And now our location is uncloaked.

Only a matter of time before your sisters and your Whitelighter friend find us.

Then why cloak us at all?

I thought we could get to know each other.

Confining our relationship to your dreams was getting tedious.

Oh, don't worry.

Your sisters will be here soon.

And this will all be over.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER NEARBY]

Are you sure about this?

It's a disruptor potion from The Book of Shadows I've been experimenting with.

It should fritz out the elevator.

Last time we experimented, we almost got eaten by a demon hound.

Go time.

Jordan.

Hey, wait up.

Sorry to bother you.

It's just I left my keys upstairs in the gym and it's-it's locked.

- Could you, um - We have dinner reservations.

It'll only take a minute, yeah?

Yes.

Yep, yep.

Just-just one minute.

Okay.

Thanks.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Scintellae volent.

[GASPS]

[ELECTRIC SNAPPING, SPARKING]

[GASPS]

[POWER SHUTTING DOWN]

[THUD]

[PATRONS GASPING]

SWAN: Everyone stay very calm.

I'm sure the lights will be on in a minute.

Oh, no.

Must be a power outage.

[SIGHS]

[PHONE BUZZING]

Lola says it's affecting the whole building.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Okay.

Maggie.

What's up with you tonight?

[SCOFFS]

Nothing.

Busting in during karaoke.

I like to sing.

Mm.

And now.

Now, you're I'm freaking out.

- I'm afraid of elevators.

- Mm.

So could you just hold my hand?

Dammit, it's not working.

I-I-I'm just, I'm still nervous.

Could I try your other hand?

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Of course.

Maggie?

What just happened?

Well, the good news is is that it worked.

A little bit too well.

I knocked out the power sources up here and Down there.

Well, power is power, regardless of the source.

The question is, how do we get to Schmitty's on the Lower East Side.

You're not the only one who's been experimenting.

Nice.

I'm getting stronger every day.

Ready?

As ever.

Come on, Whitelighter.

You got this.

[GASPS]

- Oh.

Are you okay?

It worked.

I orbed another person, but it's taking its toll.

Sooner or later, we are going to get our powers back, Harry.

Schmitty's.

Looks like your sister just did.

[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]

[DOOR OPENS]

You want to tell me what's going on?

All the touching, pawing at me like I'm Like I'm one of the Beatles or something.

Maybe I just like you.

Okay.

Um, I know my behavior seems Strange sometimes.

And I can't explain everything, but What I can tell you is There's a man and he came for us.

Me and my-my sisters.

We got away, but if he finds us He'll hurt you.

Worse.

Probably.

My turn to ask questions.

[CHUCKLES]

Ask away.

That ring Where did you get it?

[POOL BALLS CLANKING]

I'm a man We're supposed to find Macy here?

This is where Maggie saw the darklighter.

MAN: You got a lotta nerve showing your face in here.

Move one more muscle and you're a dead man.

Whoa.

We don't want any trouble.

You want a warmer welcome, give me my money, Jimmy.

You can't cheat a demon and expect to live.

I think you've got the wrong person.

[CHUCKLES]

I held up my end, helped you deliver your deliverables, set you up in your swanky place.

Now pay up, Jimmy.

- Jimmy.

- Unless you're telling me there's someone out there that looks exactly like you.

[GRUNTS]

You'll get your money when I'm good and ready to give it.

Now, take this witch to my swanky place.

Where you set me up.

Why don't you take her?

You live there.

Oh, you know I have my reasons.

Money first.

Then I'll take her.

I don't have it on me.

Then we play for it.

- Play?

- Poker.

You win, debt's clear, and I deliver this one free of charge.

And if you win?

I get my money And her as well.

Okay.

Jimmy's in.

Jimmy's in.

[CAR HORNS HONK IN DISTANCE]

MACY: What are those devices?

I've never seen anything like them.

Not your business.

So much firepower in one place, and yet you yourself have none.

Someone's pulling your strings.

Giving you orders.

You could have turned me over to your boss.

Or or is it your master?

But you decided to set up a nice little dinner.

Why?

I had this idea you and I could deliver the other ones.

Deliver them.

To who?

[GROANS SOFTLY]

Oh, come on.

You said you wanted us to get to know one another.

Where did you come from?

I want to know everything about you.

I was a prisoner.

Your Whitelighter, - [SCREAMING]

- They ripped me from his body.

My body.

I was the leftovers tossed into the garbage bin.

For what felt like an eternity.

[EXHALES]

That sounds horrible.

It's criminal, is what it is.

Then someone came along and released me, gave me my body back And I felt something.

Hot, cold.

Pain, pleasure.

And desire.

I'll never give that up again.

And the person who released you Now controls you.

All I have to do is deliver the power they want And I'm free.

And we uh, my sisters and I, Abigael, the Kyon, we are that power.

He wants to collect us.

[CHUCKLES]

I never said "he.

" I think I can give you exactly what you want.

Without involving my sisters.

Your freedom And me.

I'm listening.

First I'm gonna need you to untie me.

MAGGIE: Family heirloom?

Yeah.

It, uh It belonged to my great-great-great-granddaddy, Lawrence Mortimer Chase, apparently.

It's so unusual-looking.

My dad inherited it.

My mom gave it to me after he d*ed.

I was only four, but As soon as it fit, I started wearing it.

I'm sorry.

Death.

It's part of life.

Yeah.

My parents d*ed, both of them Same year.

This year.

Wow.

Didn't realize all that happened this year.

If you need anything, uh A place to stay Someone to throw a punch or two I'm your guy.

[CHUCKLES]

Thank you.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Sorry.

Uh Huh.

It's Lola.

Guys!

Swan's on TikTok.

We're making the best out of the blackout here at SafeSpace Seattle.

Who's up for some kombucha pong?

[OTHERS SHOUTING, WHOOPING]

[LAUGHS]

Well, at least someone's having fun.

Oh.

You mean being trapped in an elevator with me is not fun?

I didn't mean it like that.

Sorry.

We could do another duet.

No.

You're a mic hog.

[LAUGHS]

But for the record, you Can really sing.

Back at you.

[CHUCKLES]

Jordan, I have a somewhat Strange request.

Check.

Check.

[QUIETLY]

: I don't know anything about poker.

Good thing I do.

Dad's gambling had its advantages.

Get up.

We're in the middle of a hand.

Not anymore.

[GASPS]

ONE-EYE: Ready, Jimmy?

We go heads up, you and me.

Give us each a hundred.

What do you think you're doing?

We're a team.

Poker.

Not a team sport.

[GASPS]

Get your dirty talons off of me!

[MEL GRUNTING, GASPING]

[BANGING ON DOOR]

Let me out of here!

Now, Jimmy, why don't you sit down?

[PIANO PLAYING SLOW SONG]

Thank you.

So now that we've finally gotten to know each other a little better How about that dance?

Now, this is all very enticing But there's the small matter of the individual we were discussing.

Who's expecting a delivery.

Yes.

About that.

What if instead of my sisters, we deliver Abigael Caine?

You're the big blind.

Damn right I am.

[PANTING QUIETLY]

Here goes nothing.

There's nowhere to hide Dark shadows Whoa, whoa, whoa You slow-playing me on the first hand?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa - [SOFT CREAKING]

You ought to know better than to rush a man when he's drinking.

Or do I need to teach you a lesson?

MEL [WHISPERS]

: Two chips.

What did you say?

I'm done talking.

JORDAN: You want to try on my ring?

[CHUCKLES]

You're pretty obsessed with this thing.

It's just so unique.

- What's it made of?

- Eh, some kind of amber.

According to family legend, it had magical properties.

If you believe that sort of stuff.

Do you?

What?

Oh, no.

[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]

[THUMPING, WHIRRING]

- [BELL DINGS TWICE]

- We're back.

May I?

It's a little early in the relationship for this, but, uh [DISTORTED GRUNT]

Maggie.

Maggie, are you all right?

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

- SWAN: So sorry that took so long.

- Maggie.

Please take some vouchers for the pop-up acai bowl bar.

Oh.

No-no worries.

Bye, Jordan.

- Maggie, wait.

- Babe.

You all right?

I'm fine.

Is she?

- [BREATHING HEAVILY]

- We want it so much We're getting in your head Nothing can stop us We'll make it to the end Oh, how we envy Check.

All those we haven't met Look up when we rise All in.

Our silhouettes The real question is, grilled or sautéed?

So many options when cooking fresh witch.

[WHISPERING]

: He's bluffing.

Call it.

Call.

Looks like witch is back on the menu, boys.

[CHEERING]

Pay up.

Six high straight.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I believe my seven beats your six.

Looks like you have a witch delivery after all.

Gentlemen.

[GASPS]

[EXHALES]

- [SHOUTS]

- [GRUNTING]

What are you, some kind of shapeshifter or something?

The real Jimmy would never let anyone catch him getting help from a witch.

[PANTING]

Not so fast.

- [GRUNTS]

- [GASPING]

[GRUNTING]

Where is he?

- Jimmy.

- [GRUNTS]

k*ll me.

Do it.

- [PANTING]

- Whoever you are, you don't have it in you.

- k*ll the witch.

- [GASPS]

[OTHERS GASPING]

- [GROANS]

- Hey 4110 East Broadway.

- Hey - [GROANS]

In the dust - [PANTING]

- [GROWLING]

Stay back!

You're starting to forget.

Abigael thinks she's my friend.

She trusts me.

I can bring her to you.

That way, your boss gets a powerful demon and we get what we want, each other.

[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

Impressive.

You really do have some demon in you.

[PANTING]

Macy, thank God.

We were so worried - [CHOKING]

- [GASPS]

Macy, it's Harry.

[STRAINED]

: Hut 8.

[GRUNTS]

Hut 8.

- Oh.

I'm sorry.

- [GRUNTS]

- I'm sorry.

- [PANTING]

It's really you.

Yes.

And we have to get out of here.

Now.

[MACY GASPS]

I had a feeling you'd show up.

[GASPS]

[PANTING]

[COUGHING]

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Good.

[PANTING]

I'm going back.

N-No.

No, no.

He-He's got a briefcase full of weapons.

And you're exhausted.

You can't keep orbing.

MEL: We should come with you, to help you fight.

I appreciate what you're trying to do, but this is between me and him.

Harry, no.

[EXHALES]

Back so soon, Harry?

Afraid of what would happen in a fair fight?

Ah, that's always been your problem.

You want things to be fair.

How dreadfully boring.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

[LAUGHING]

[GRUNTS]

Wow, look at you go.

This time, I think I'll cut you up into little pieces.

That should keep you dead.

Oh, but don't worry though.

I'll take good care of your Charmed Ones.

Especially Macy.

She really is special.

And you're nothing.

Well, half of nothing is nothing.

[GRUNTING]

[GROANS, PANTING]

[GROANS]

[GRUNTING]

Sorry, Harry.

I don't like sharing.

I may be half a man, but you're no man at all.

- [GRUNTS]

- [SHOUTING]

[GROANING]

[PANTING]

You should know that green goo has quite the side effect.

Poor, dutiful Whitelighter.

[PANTS]

You'll never be enough for her.

Nice knowing you, Harry.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANING]

[CHOKING, GRUNTING]

[INSECTS TRILLING]

So, um, you think he's really gone?

For good?

The darklighter?

It appears so.

The important thing is that Macy's home and safe.

We're lucky your sister is an ace hold-it player.

- [CHUCKLES]

- Hold 'em.

- Hold 'em.

- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

That's right.

Dad taught you to play poker.

With M&M'S as chips.

I think he lost a few hands on purpose so that I could get to keep the candy.

MAGGIE: See?

He wasn't all bad.

He had his moments.

Ah, humans are a mix of light and dark.

That's what makes us makes them whole.

Will you excuse me?

I'm sorry I gave you a hard time about Jordan.

Your vision saved Macy.

So my My visions are accurate.

Mel, I had another vision.

With Jordan.

I'm afraid either he's in danger or he's a danger to us.

["ALREADY DOWN" BY ALLIE MOSS PLAYING]

Cold concrete Beneath my back I lay Where I landed Uh, come in.

I'm just seeing how you're doing.

I'm okay.

And hold my breath I'm sorry for what you went through at the hands of that Monster.

Well, he-he wasn't a monster entirely.

How could he be?

He was a part of you.

Down, down, down Macy, what was he like?

Down - No lower to go - Down He was bold.

Selfish.

Charming.

And you're already down Twisted and tortured by what had happened to him and you.

Down Now he's gone.

Unending sky And so is that part of me.

Forever.

To shield my eyes Sometimes, I wonder who I would be if we'd never been split.

Would my better-natured angels temper his sins?

Or would he drag me down?

[SIGHS]

I suppose I'll never know now.

You did the right thing, Harry.

Down - When you're down, down - When you're down Yes.

- No lower to go - Down I always do.

When you're on the floor [DOOR CREAKS]

And you're already down When you're down, when you're down Down, down - When you're down - Down - Down, down - When you're down, when you're down Down [GASPS]

Down
