(BREATHING HEAVILY) IT'S NINA, RIGHT? YOU'LL NEVER GET IT. I WON'T LET YOU. I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR PERMISSION. (CHUCKLES) IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME, YOU KNOW, BEFORE I GET THE BOX. OVER MY DEAD BODY. THAT'S THE THING WITH YOU GUARDIANS. YOU'RE ALWAYS DYING FOR THAT DAMN BOX. NOT ALWAYS. OH, COME ON, YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT. UNH! (BOTH GRUNTING) UHH! PHOEBE? COMING! COMING. I USED CASTOR ROOT THIS TIME. IT SHOULD DULL ALL THE SENSES. I DON'T CARE. JUST GIVE IT TO ME. THANK YOU. DO YOU MIND? DO I MIND WHAT? LOOKING SO PSYCHOTICALLY PERKY WHILE I'M SO MISERABLE? YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S PSYCHOSOMATIC. I MEAN, THE INNER EAR HAS TO DO WITH BALANCE, SO MAYBE YOU'RE FEELING IMBALANCE BECAUSE THE WHOLE MAGIC SCHOOL THING. PHOEBE, COME HERE. OW! (LAUGHS) WHAT WAS THAT FOR? DOES THAT SEEM PSYCHOSOMATIC TO YOU? HEY, BIG BOY. I THOUGHT IT WAS BATH TIME. LEO: UH, IT IS. UH, HEY, BUDDY. THAT WAS, UH, PRETTY FUNNY, BUT I DON'T THINK MOMMY'S GONNA THINK SO. WHAT'S GOIN' ON? UH, I THINK THE TERRIBLE TWOS HAVE BEGUN. OH, WELL, MAGICAL BOYS WILL BE MAGICAL BOYS. YEAH, WELL, TRY EXPLAINING THAT TO HIS MAGICAL MAMA. LISTEN, I THINK YOU BETTER ORB BACK UPSTAIRS BEFORE MOMMY TURNS YOU INTO A TOAD. PAIGE: OW! - (GROANS) - WHAT'S THE MATTER? SHE HAS A RINGING IN HER EARS. NO. IT'S MORE LIKE A JACKHAMMER. REALLY? IS IT KIND OF LIKE A DENTIST'S DRILL THAT KIND OF GOES IN AND OUT? - YEAH. - WHY, YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS? WELL, IT COULD BE YOUR WHITELIGHTER POWERS COMING ON. YOU KNOW, YOU COULD BE HEARING THE CALL FROM THE ELDERS. BEFORE I LEARNED TO CONTROL MY POWERS, IT USED TO DRIVE ME NUTS. NO. THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE. OW. OK. WELL, YOU'RE HALF-WHITELIGHTER. YOU CAN'T DENY THAT. YES, I CAN. I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ELDERS, OK? ALL RIGHT, WELL, IF IT IS WHAT I THINK IT IS, YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A CHOICE. THE ONLY WAY TO FIND OUT IS TO ACTUALLY TALK TO AN ELDER. WELL, YOU CAN'T BRING ONE OVER HERE. PIPER WILL FREAK OUT. ALL RIGHT, WELL, THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD MEET AT MAGIC SCHOOL. LOOK, DO YOU WANT IT TO STOP OR DON'T YOU? COME ON. I'LL GO WITH YOU. (SIGHS) (BREATHING HEAVILY) WHO ARE YOU? PLEASE, YOU HAVE TO HELP ME FIND IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. FIND WHAT? PANDORA'S BOX! Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air. www.able.co.nz Able 2022 WELL, I GUESS SINCE EXCALIBUR IS REAL, I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'D BE A SURPRISE THAT PANDORA'S BOX ISN'T AS WELL. OH, THANK YOU. HOW DID YOU KNOW TO COME TO US? YOU'RE THE CHARMED ONES. EVERYONE IN THE MAGICAL COMMUNITY KNOWS ABOUT YOU. YEAH. THAT'S BECOMING A PROBLEM. HEY! UM, MISTER? EXCUSE ME. LISTEN, WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE ORBING? OK? ONLY WHEN I SAY SO. TANK YOU VERY MUCH. PIPER, YOU CAN'T DENY WHO HE IS, THROUGH THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE ANNOYING. AH, I SEE YOU'VE BEEN TALKING TO LEO, HAVEN'T YOU? LOOK, JUST BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PARENTING STYLES DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT ON ME. I'M JUST THE SISTER. AND WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON, EXACTLY? (LAUGHS) BACK TO THE BOX? RIGHT. OK. LET ME GUESS. A DEMON TOOK IT. NO. BUT WE BETTER FIND THE NEXT GUARDIAN BEFORE ONE DOES. GUARDIAN? LIKE YOU, WE'RE CHOSEN BEINGS, PART OF A MAGICAL LINEAGE, ONE IN WHICH EVERY GENERATION A GIRL IS BORN, MEANT TO GUARD PANDORA'S BOX. RIGHT, HENCE THE NAME GUARDIAN. GOT IT. ONLY, EACH GIRL IS TRAINED BY THE PREVIOUS GUARDIAN, INSTRUCTED CAREFULLY ABOUT THE DANGERS AND POWERS OF THE BOX, EXCEPT THE NEXT ONE HASN'T BEEN. I'M NOT FOLLOWING. WHEN KATYA THE DEMON ATTACKED ME, THE BOX, PERHAPS SENSING THE DANGER, DISAPPEARED ON ITS OWN, MOVING ON TO ITS NEXT GUARDIAN. AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS. NO. I GUESS I WASN'T EXPECTED TO SURVIVE. SO, WHAT DOES KATYA WANT WITH THE BOX? SHE WANTS TO OPEN IT AND RELEASE THE WORLD'S ILLS: SORROW, FAMINE, PLAGUES, ALL THE EVIL INSIDE. SO, WHAT'S TO KEEP THE NEW GUARDIAN FROM ACCIDENTALLY DOING THE SAME, ESPECIALLY IF SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THE BOX? NOTHING. SERIOUSLY, DARCY, IT'S ALL GOOD. STOP STRESSING ABOUT HIM. I KNOW, BUT HOW CAN I NOT? WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THIS BIG TALK. I MEAN, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, ANYWAY? I WAS STUPID TO FALL FOR HIM. OH, COME ON, DON'T SAY THAT. I MEAN IT. HE'S SO NOT WORTH IT. WE GOT TOO MUCH IN LIFE TO BE HAPPY ABOUT THAN TO LET ADAM BICE GET YOU DOWN. - YOU'RE RIGHT. - MM-HMM. AS ALWAYS. OH, NOT ALWAYS. YOU SHOULD CHECK MY FRENCH LIT GRADES. OHH, THAT REMINDS ME. OH, I'M TOTALLY MISSING MY CHEM LECTURE. - I GOTTA GO. - OK. (CELL PHONE RINGS) (WHISPERS) WAIT! OH, THIS IS HIM. WHAT DO I DO? JUST BE STRONG. DON'T LET HIM GET TO YOU, NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS. CALL ME LATER. HELLO? (WHISPERING) (BOX WHISPERING) (COUGHING) WHAT THE HECK? (BOX WHISPERING) (BREATHES DEEPLY) THIS IS THE GLOBAL ALERT, PAIGE, ONE THAT ONLY A WHITELIGHTER CAN HEAR. YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THIS AS IF IT WAS A GIFT RATHER THAN A PROBLEM. A PROBLEM, FOR ME, IS WHEN LEO REARRANGES MY BOOKS HERE. I WOULD CLASSIFY THIS AS A ROOT CANAL? NEVERTHELESS, THIS IS WHO YOU ARE, WHO YOU HAVE BECOME. WELL, I DON'T WANT TO BECOME IT, SO FIX IT ALREADY! FIX IT? YEAH, I DON'T THINK SHE WANTS TO HEAR THE CALL, EVER. WELL, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. SHE DOESN'T HAVE A CHOICE. IT WOULD BE AS IF YOU WISHED TO NO LONGER BREATHE. IF THIS RINGING DOESN'T STOP, MAYBE I DON'T WANT TO. LOOK, I JUST LEFT MAGIC SCHOOL, OK? THE LAST THING I WANNA DEAL WITH IS YOU ELDERS. I KNOW, PAIGE, THAT IN THE PAST WE HAVE HAD OUR DIFFERENCES, BUT BECOMING A WHITELIGHTER IS AS NATURAL A PART OF YOUR UNFOLDING DESTINY AS BECOMING A CHARMED ONE. PERHAPS IF YOU EXPLAINED TO HER WHY YOU CALLED THE ALERT. WE SENSED A GREAT THREAT, ONE WHICH WE HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO ISOLATE. THAT IS WHY WE NEED EVERY WHITELIGHTER TO BE VIGILANT. WELL, NOT THIS WHITELIGHTER. OK, JUST MAKE IT STOP ALREADY. YOU KNOW, MAYBE IF PAIGE... HELPED A WHITELIGHTER-TO-BE INSTEAD? THAT'S A POSSIBILITY. WHY? WHAT WOULD THAT DO? HELPING OTHERS HELPS YOURSELF... TO FIND SOME CLARITY. WELL, IF CLARITY... MAKES THIS NOISE STOP, WHATEVER. I'LL TRY IT. COME ON, COME ON. WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG? RELAX, OR I'LL GIVE YOU A TIME-OUT. HERE. MAYBE THIS'LL HELP. WYATT! TIME-OUT MEANS NO MAGIC! SCRY NOW, PARENT LATER. WELL, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD HELP IF I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO HAD TO DISCIPLINE HIM. LET ME DO THIS. PLEASE, WE HAVE TO HURRY. IF THE BOX HAS BEEN OPENED OR IF A DEMON'S FOUND IT-- WE WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN. I PROMISE. LOOK, WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME. MAYBE WE NEED A STRONGER CONNECTION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TRY. PIPER: UHP! U.C. BERKELEY. IT'S ON THE CAMPUS. WHOA! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? YOU'VE DONE YOUR JOBS. NOW I HAVE TO GO DO MINE. WAIT, YOU SAW WHERE THAT GOT YOU LAST TIME. WHY DON'T YOU LET US GO WITH YOU? I CAN'T LET YOU RISK IT. WELL, WE CAN'T LET YOU RISK IT, EITHER, NOT AS LONG AS THERE'S A DEMON AFTER THAT BOX. ALL RIGHT, BUT I'LL TRANSPORT US THERE. IT'LL BE FASTER. WHAT ABOUT THE ELDERS? WHAT ABOUT THEM? WELL, I MEAN, IT'S PANDORA'S BOX. WE SHOULD PROBABLY TELL THEM SOMETHING. ALL RIGHT, YOU TELL 'EM. MOMMY NEEDS A TIME-OUT. WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE? SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT. SHE MUST'VE OPENED THE BOX. IT'S THE FIRST WAVE OF SORROW. (CRYING) WE HAVE TO HURRY... BEFORE YOU BECOME AFFECTED, TOO. GIRL: NO, DARCY, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS! IN THERE. HE'S NOT WORTH IT! (KNOCKING ON DOOR) UH, JUST A MINUTE! DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID, OK? PROMISE? I'LL BE RIGHT THERE. (KNOCKING) OK. OK! (STUDENTS CRYING) CAN I HELP YOU? HI! MY NAME IS PIPER, AND THIS IS-- THIS IS NINA, AND WE WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING YOU... "RECEIVED," I GUESS, WOULD BE A GOOD WORD FOR IT. UH, LOOK, WHATEVER YOU'RE SELLING, I'M NOT INTERESTED. MY FRIEND'S IN TROUBLE AND IF I DON'T-- YOU HAVE COME INTO POSSESSION OF SOMETHING MORE POWERFUL THAN ANYTHING YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN. PIPER: YEAH, OK, SEE, I WAS GONNA GO WITH THE LESS INTIMIDATING TACTIC, BUT-- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THE BOX. WHERE IS IT? UH... HOW DID IT COME TO YOU? I DON'T KNOW. IT WAS JUST THERE. WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT IS THE-- PIPER: YOU HAVEN'T BY ANY CHANCE BEEN TAKING SOME GREEK MYTHOLOGY CLASSES, HAVE YA? PANDORA'S BOX, A GIFT THE GODS GAVE TO PROMETHEUS, ONE THAT CONTAINED ALL OF THE EVILS OF THE WORLD, UNTIL PANDORA UNLEASHED IT ON AN UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE. I HOPE TO DO THE SAME. AW, CRAP. PIPER: OH, YEAH, THIS IS NOT GOOD. THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. THIS EXPLAINS THE GLOBAL ALERT. ALERT? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THE ONE THAT PAIGE HEARD AND EVERY OTHER WHITELIGHTER. PANDORA'S BOX EXISTS SOLELY TO TEMPT. IT'S PART OF THE GRAND DESIGN. IF MANKIND CHOOSES TO OPEN IT AGAIN, SO BE IT, BUT GUARDIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT IT FROM BEING OPENED BY DEMONS. SO, THEN WE SHOULD BE FINE. PIPER AND NINA-- NINA NEVER SHOULD'VE LET IT OUT OF HER SIGHT. WELL, APPARENTLY, SHE DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE. UH, THE BOX MOVED ON TO ITS NEXT GUARDIAN BY ITSELF. OH, THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE. IT CAN'T MOVE ON UNLESS THE PRIOR GUARDIAN WAS ALREADY DEAD. OK, YOU NEED TO ORB ME TO PIPER IMMEDIATELY. PIPER? WHERE ARE YOU?! (CLATTER) OH, THANK GOD YOU'RE OK. WHO IS SHE? MEET HOPE, THE REAL GUARDIAN OF THE BOX. TOO BAD SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING LEFT TO GUARD. (BREATHING HEAVILY) WHO--WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? OK, HOPE, CAN YOU JUST TRY TO CALM DOWN A LITTLE BIT? WE'RE THE GOOD GUYS, I SWEAR. OH, GOOD GUYS. HA HA. OH, THEN WHAT WAS SHE? SHE WAS A-- - A DEMON PRETENDING TO BE... - A GUARDIAN, JUST LIKE YOU. YEAH, UH, NINA'S DEAD, BY THE WAY. YEAH, I FIGURED. NOT NOW. YOU! YOU BLEW UP MY DORM... WITH YOUR HANDS! YES, AND I AM VERY SORRY ABOUT THAT. OH. HA. NOW YOU'RE BOTH CALM, LIKE THIS KIND OF STUFF HAPPENS EVERY DAY! WELL, IT KIND OF DOES. YOU SEE, UH... WE'RE WITCHES. WHAT? WE CAN EXPLAIN ALL OF THIS IN GREAT DETAIL MUCH LATER, BUT RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO GET YOU GOIN'. - AND FAST. I'M FEELING A LITTLE... - BUMMED? YEAH, I KNOW. NINA, OR KATYA I'M ASSUMING, SAID THAT IT WAS THE FIRST WAVE OF SORROW FROM THE BOX. GREAT, SO LIKE A LITTLE APPETIZER? AND SHE'S OBVIOUSLY IMMUNE TO IT, 'CAUSE SHE SEEMS MORE FREAKED THAN BUMMED. WELL, CAN YOU BLAME HER? WHAT ARE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT? (STUDENTS' SORROWFUL VOICES) WE JUST NEED TO KNOW ONE THING THAT'S... KIND OF IMPORTANT. DID YOU OPEN THE BOX? ONLY FOR A SECOND. SOME SORT OF DUST CAME OUT, AND THEN I SHUT IT. WELL, FROM THE SOUNDS OF THE DORM OUT THERE, I'D SAY IT WAS LONG ENOUGH. SHALL WE GO? I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU PEOPLE. YOU BURST IN HERE TALKING ABOUT PANDORA'S BOX AND GUARDIANS AND WITCHES AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE. NOW YOU EXPECT ME TO LEAVE WITH YOU. OK, LOOK, I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL. WHEN WE FIRST FOUND OUT WE WERE WITCHES, IT WAS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE, WELL, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE TO GUIDE US, BUT WE COULD HELP YOU. YOU JUST HAVE TO COME WITH US. (DING) ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT ME TO GO DOWN THERE WITH YOU? I'M FINE, DAD. NOW, REMEMBER, GO STRAIGHT TO MOMMY, OK? SHE'S WAITING FOR YOU IN THE LOBBY. DAD... HEY, HOLD THE DOORS! THANKS A LOT. I SAW YOU ON MY WAY UP, LIKE AN HOUR AGO. YEAH. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMEONE. (RATTLING AND CREAKING) WHAT'S HAPPENING? MAN: OH, YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. WHAT? YOU'RE GONNA BLAME ME FOR THIS, TOO? HOW DARE YOU EVEN IMPLY THAT'S PART OF MY AGENDA? - I'M JUST STANDING HERE! - I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. - (CRYING) I'M SCARED. IT'S OK. OH, MY GOD, THE RINGING STOPPED. THAT MEANS... IT'S ONE OF YOU. IT--YOU--IT STOPPED. UNH! IF MY POWERS COULDN'T OPEN THE BOX, WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU THINK YOU COULD? HEY, AT LEAST I DIDN'T LET THE GUARDIAN GO. (SIGHS) THERE MUST BE A WAY. WELL, AT LEAST NOW THAT WE'VE GOT IT, SHE CAN'T PUT THE SORROW SHE LET OUT BACK IN. YEAH, BUT SHE DIDN'T LET OUT ENOUGH. WITHIN LIES THE POWER TO DESTROY CITIES, CRUMBLE EMPIRES, DEVASTATE ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE WORLD. ALL THIS JUST TO IMPRESS ZANKOU? HEY, JUST ASKING. OH, FOR TOO LONG I'VE HAD TO WATCH LESSER DEMONS REWARDED, BEEN DENIED MY PROPER PLACE IN THE FOREFRONT. NO. ZANKOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO DENY ME AFTER THIS. WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHAPE SHIFT INTO THE GUARDIAN? MMM. TAKING THE PHYSICAL FORM OF A GUARDIAN DOESN'T MAKE ME ONE. NO. IT WILL KNOW. THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? I'LL MAKE HER OPEN IT FOR ME. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE BOOK ON KATYA, AND SCRYING FOR THE BOX DID NOT WORK. WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD TRY MAGIC SCHOOL. WH--WAIT. MAGIC SCHOOL? WHAT IS THAT? IT'S A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR GIFTS. ARE YOU A WITCH, TOO? NO, HE'S A-- HE'S--HE'S A LONG STORY. ONE THAT WORKED OUT WELL. THIS IS ALL SO COMPLICATED. LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS REALLY HARD TO UNDERSTAND, BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE MEANT TO DO. NO. I'M MEANT TO FINISH SCHOOL, PARTY, HAVE FUN. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I BELIEVE IN MAGIC. (GASPS) OH! WHERE DID HE COME FROM? AH...(CHUCKLING) UH, SORRY. HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT WITHOUT PERMISSION. DON'T SCARE THE PRETTY GIRL, OK? LEO: OK, PAL, LISTEN, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE WUVEY UPSTAIRS FOR A LITTLE NAP, 'KAY? OH! I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE. HOPE, WAIT. LOOK, THERE'S NOTHING THAT I CAN SAY THAT'S GONNA MAKE THIS ANY BETTER. CAN'T YOU JUST MAKE UP A SPELL OR SOMETHING? SOMETIMES I WISH I COULD, BUT THEN I REALIZE ALL OF THIS, YOU KNOW, THE GOOD AND THE BAD, MAKES ME WHO I AM, YOU KNOW? (BEEPING) IT'S MY FRIEND DARCY. I HAVE TO HELP HER. YOU KNOW, YOU COULD HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE BY FINDING THAT BOX. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. SHE'S LIKE MY SISTER. I HAVE TO GO. - HOPE, WAIT. - NO! OHH... MY GOD. PHOEBE? YOU OK? GOD, AREN'T YOU TIRED OF ASKING ME THAT? IT DOES GET A LITTLE REPETITIVE. WE GOTTA GO GET HER. IT'S OK. YOU CAN'T FORCE HER TO STAY. BESIDES, SHE COULD OBVIOUSLY PROTECT HERSELF. WELL, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW? WELL, YOU GOTTA GET THE BOX BACK BEFORE KATYA OPENS IT. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO STAY CALM? - WE'RE STUCK! - LINDA, PLEASE. WOMAN, ON EMERGENCY PHONE: MA'AM, ALL I CAN SAY IS WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN. WELL, IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. NO, I SAID I'M TRAPPED. THERE'S PEOPLE ALL AROUND. WHAT DID YOU SAY? I CAN'T HEAR YOU. I SAID, I'M TRAPPED IN AN ELEVATOR. I CAN'T JUST UP AND GO. BESIDES, I DON'T WANT THIS RINGING IN MY EARS TO COME BACK. WAIT, IT STOPPED? WHEN? RIGHT WHEN WE GOT STUCK. - ALL RIGHT, THEN NEVER MIND. YOU NEED TO STAY THERE. - NO, WAIT, WHAT ABOUT, UH-- NO. YOUR SISTERS CAN HANDLE IT. OK? YOU'RE THERE TO HELP, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. OK. WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO HELP? LEO! LEO? OHH! DAMN THESE PHONES. YEAH, MINE'S DEAD, TOO. LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR A WHILE, HUH? ARE YOU STILL THERE? HELLO?! ANSWER ME! HONEY, WHY DON'T YOU JUST LET THEM DO THEIR JOB? DON'T "HONEY" ME. IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU, WE WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE. OH, SO NOW THIS IS MY FAULT? YOU KNOW, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WANTED TO GO INTO COUNSELLING, NOT ME. LOOKS LIKE THE NATIVES ARE GETTING RESTLESS, HUH? HMM. YEAH. LOOKS LIKE. SO, WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'M PAIGE. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS BE THE PERSON I HAVE TO HELP. OH, ALL RIGHT. IT'S KIND OF NUTS WE'RE BEING STUCK HERE LIKE THIS, RIGHT? I WANT MY MOMMY. OH, SWEETHEART, I KNOW YOU DO, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE GONNA BE JUST FINE, I PROMISE. GIRL: HOW DO YOU KNOW? WELL, BECAUSE I KNOW THINGS LIKE THAT. (GIRL COUGHING) HONEY, YOU OK? I HAVE ASTHMA. FANTASTIC. BUT I BET YOU HAVE AN INHALER IN THAT PRETTY LITTLE PURSE OF YOURS, RIGHT? MY MOMMY HAS IT. OF COURSE SHE DOES. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I'M TRYING TO GET US THE HELL OUT OF HERE. - BRILLIANT IDEA. - WELL, AT LEAST IT'S AN IDEA. NO, SHE'S RIGHT, YOU KNOW. YOU COULD GET HURT. AT LEAST HE'S DOING SOMETHING, ROGER. - WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? - YOU'RE ACTING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL, ROGER. I AM NOT ACTING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL. WE'RE STUCK IN THIS ELEVATOR, AND WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO? DO YOU NEED YOUR MOTHER, ROGER? GOOD LUCK. YOU'LL HAVE BETTER LUCK WITH HER, YOU KNOW? (RATTLES) OK, DARCY? I'M HERE. MM-HMM. (CHUCKLES) WONDERFUL DEVICES THESE THINGS. IT MAKES LURING SOMEONE INTO A TRAP SO... 21ST CENTURY. WHERE'S DARCY? OH... YOU'LL SEE. YOU'D THINK THERE'D BE SOMETHING ABOUT PANDORA'S BOX IN A PLACE CALLED MAGIC SCHOOL. LEO'S BEEN REORGANIZING. WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD GET HIM TO HELP US. - NO, HE'S BUSY. - BUSY DOING WHAT? WHAT COULD BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THIS? GLOBALLY, NOTHING. PERSONALLY, I NEED HIM TO WRANGLE WYATT FOR A DAY SO HE CAN SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. PIPER, YOU KNOW WHAT WYATT IS GOING THROUGH IS COMPLETELY NORMAL. NO, TEMPER TANTRUMS ARE NORMAL. UNCONTROLLABLE CRYING IS NORMAL. ORBING ALL OVER TOWN IS NOT NORMAL. HE'S NOT ORBING ALL OVER TOWN. NOT YET. LOOK, IT'S NOT THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIM BEING MAGICAL, BECAUSE IF I DID, I WOULD'VE BOUND HIS POWERS AT BIRTH. IT'S JUST THAT HE NEEDS TO LEARN THAT HE CAN'T USE HIS POWERS WHENEVER HE WANTS TO, AND LEO NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT, TOO. I THINK HE DOES. I JUST THINK HE DEALS WITH IT DIFFERENTLY. WELL, WE'LL SEE HOW MR. MOM DEALS WITH IT AFTER HE'S BEEN CHASING AROUND THE KID NOW THAT LEO CAN'T ORB. YOU GUYS WILL FIGURE IT OUT. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE OPTIMISTIC LATELY. YEAH, I GUESS I HAVE HOPE. I MEAN, WE LOST HOPE THE PERSON, BUT I HAVE, YOU KNOW... I GOT IT. I FOUND SOMETHING. ABOUT THE BOX? NO, THE DEMON. NOTHING NEW. SAYS SHE'S A SHAPESHIFTER. YEAH, WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THAT THE HARD WAY. WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SHE USED TO WORK FOR DEMONIC DARK LORDS. THEN SHE WENT ROGUE. HOW VERY ENTERPRISING OF HER. SHE PROBABLY JUST WANTS TO MAKE A NAME FOR HERSELF. WHY IS IT THAT EVERY DEMON WHO IS TRYING TO MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES HAS TO GO AND TRY TO END THE WORLD? WHY DON'T WE PONDER THAT FACT WHILE WE SCRY FOR HER? WELL, EVEN IF WE FIND HER, WE HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING THERE. WE'RE SHORT AN ORBER. WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING. I MEAN, THIS PLACE IS CALLED MAGIC SCHOOL FOR A REASON, RIGHT? I WON'T HURT YOU, HOPE. I PROMISE. I KNOW YOU'RE NEW TO ALL THIS, AND I KNOW ALL THIS CAN BE VERY SCARY. WHERE'S DARCY? SHE'S NOT A PART OF THIS. ISN'T SHE? SHE'S MERELY A PAWN IN ALL THIS. A PAWN LIKE YOU ARE. WHATEVER THEY TOLD YOU, I KNOW IT WAS A LOT TO HANDLE. YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT I'M PART OF SOMETHING. A GREATER PURPOSE I THINK THEY CALLED IT. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? IT WAS ALL A LIE. I MEAN, WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE, RUINING YOUR LIFE LIKE THIS, TELLING YOU THAT YOU'RE MEANT TO WATCH AFTER PANDORA'S BOX? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT REALLY IS. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO KNOW. YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS. YOU DON'T WANT IT. IT'S UNFAIR. - I JUST WANT MY LIFE BACK. - AND I CAN HELP YOU GET IT BACK. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS HELP ME. OPEN THE BOX, AND YOU'LL BE FREE FROM IT...FOREVER. - BUT WON'T THAT-- - END ALL THIS CRAZINESS? WELL, THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, ISN'T IT? TO GO HOME... WITH YOUR FRIEND? GO AHEAD. OPEN THE BOX. (BOX WHISPERING) NO...I CAN'T. I WON'T. FINE. I TRIED ASKING YOU NICELY. NOW I'LL HAVE TO MAKE YOU DO IT. LUCIUS! DARCY: AAH! AAH! DARCY? I'M SCARED! AAH! I'M SCARED! DON'T HURT HER. YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT. (BOX WHISPERING) WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? WHAT IF THE ELEVATOR STARTS? RELAX, SWEETHEART. I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. HELLO! IS ANYBODY THERE? WHAT'S GOING ON? WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG? (LABOURED BREATHING) OK, HONEY, I NEED YOU TO BREATHE. JUST BREATHE. I'M SCARED. DAMMIT! - BIG MAN. - CAN YOU TWO GET ALONG FOR TWO SECONDS? HASN'T HAPPENED IN 3 YEARS. WHY DO YOU THINK WE'RE IN MARRIAGE COUNSELLING? DO YOU HAVE TO AIR OUT ALL OUR PROBLEMS? OH, AIRING OUT OUR PROBLEMS IS YOUR BIGGEST CONCERN? OH, MY GOD! AAH! UH...OK. HE'S NOT BREATHING. OH, GOD. THERE'S NO PULSE. (COUGHING) OH, MY GOD. COME ON, SWEETIE. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? - DO YOU KNOW CPR? - NO. WELL, I NEED YOU TO GET DOWN HERE AND HELP ME. YOU'RE GONNA LEARN. I NEED YOU TO SING TO HER. - SING? - JUST SING. GET HER BREATHING IN ORDER. (GASPING) ANYTHING. JUST SING. # HUSH, LITTLE BABY, DON'T SAY A WORD. # I NEED YOU TO PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER ON THE XIPHOID PROCESS. - THE WHAT? - HONEY...YOU CAN DO THIS, HONEY. ALL RIGHT. COME ON. # IF THAT MOCKINGBIRD DON'T SING. # PUSH DOWN 5 TIMES FOR EVERY BREATH. - RIGHT. - GO. # AND IF THAT DIAMOND RING TURNS BRASS # COME ON. SING WITH ME. # MAMA'S GONNA BUY YOU A LOOKING GLASS # - GOOD. - GOOD JOB. # AND IF THAT LOOKING GLASS GETS BROKE # # MAMA'S GONNA BUY YOU A BILLY GOAT # (BREATHING QUIETS) (COUGHING) - HE'S AWAKE. - OK. HE'S ALIVE. (MAN COUGHING) GOOD JOB. (JOLT) OH, GOD! WENDY! DADDY! OHH, YOU OK? HE WAS ELECTROCUTED. WE GAVE HIM CPR. THANKS. (BOX WHISPERING) OPEN IT... OR YOUR FRIEND DIES. (KATYA LAUGHING) IT'S DONE. - BUT YOU SAID-- - THAT I WASN'T GOING TO HURT YOU? YEAH. I LIED. SINCE THE NEXT GUARDIAN HASN'T BEEN BORN YET AND WITH YOU DEAD, THERE WON'T BE ANYONE AROUND TO PUT EVERYTHING BACK. (GASP) WE'RE TOO LATE. AAH! MINIONS! (SIGH) HOPE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? SHE FORCED ME TO OPEN THE BOX. SHE TOOK MY FRIEND DARCY. WHERE IS SHE? THAT WAY. AAH! HOPE: DARCY?! WHERE ARE YOU?! PHOEBE: DARCY? DARCY! DARCY, WHERE ARE YOU? GET ME OUT OF HERE. OK, WELL, I GUESS YOUR DAY TRUMPS MY DAY. THANKS FOR BRINGING ME HOME TO CLEAN UP THE MESS, THOUGH. IS ANYBODY ELSE FEELING BLUE? IT'S THE EFFECTS OF THE BOX BEING OPENED. OK, THERE'S STILL A DEMON ON THE LOOSE, AND THE LONGER HE IS, THE MORE WE'RE ALL GONNA BE AFFECTED. YEAH, EXACTLY. UM, THIS IS CRAZY. WE NEED TO LEAVE. YOU'RE SAFER HERE. NO. IT'S OK, DARCY. THEY CAN PROTECT US. HOPE, THAT THING WAS TRYING TO KILL US. SHE WANTS TO KILL THEM. WE'RE SITTING DUCKS HERE. NOT AS MUCH AS YOU ARE OUT THERE. AS LONG AS KATYA KNOWS THAT HOPE CAN PUT ALL THE EVILS BACK IN THE BOX, SHE IS A VERY LARGE TARGET. WHICH MEANS YOU ARE, TOO. NO, NOT IF SHE DOESN'T GO ALONG WITH IT. LOOK, NO ONE SAYS THAT YOU EVEN HAVE TO CARE ABOUT THIS STUPID BOX ANYMORE. ACTUALLY, SHE DOES, YOU SEE? BECAUSE IT'S HER BIRTHRIGHT. SAYS YOU. HOPE, LISTEN TO ME, OK? WE DON'T EVEN KNOW THESE PEOPLE. FOR ALL WE KNOW, THEY COULD BE THE DEMON. THAT'S RIDICULOUS. IS IT? SHE'S DONE IT BEFORE. THAT'S WHAT SHE DOES, RIGHT? RIGHT? HOPE, WE CAN ONLY TRUST EACH OTHER. YOU'RE RIGHT. - HOPE... - NO, ACTUALLY, I THINK SHE IS RIGHT. PHOEBE! WE CAN'T MAKE HER DO SOMETHING SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DO. THIS IS HER PATH TO EITHER FOLLOW OR NOT. BUT BEFORE YOU LEAVE, HOPE, LET PAIGE SHOW YOU HOW TO CONTACT US, GOD FORBID ANYTHING. WE'LL SEE YOU DOWNSTAIRS. WYATT? WHAT'S GOIN' ON? I'M NOT SURE. WHERE'S WYATT? UM... HE, UH... (PLATE SHATTERING) EXCUSE ME. SURE. WHAT'S TAKING THEM SO LONG UP THERE? I DON'T KNOW. WHAT'S YOUR HURRY? I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. UH-HUH. OK, LET'S GO. I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. TRUST ME. WHAT? WHAT'S THE MATTER? THIS IS GETTING TO BE WAY TOO EASY. (LAUGHING) UNH! AAH! HOPE. I'M OK. ACTUALLY, NOT FOR LONG. OK, YOU HEARD ME SAY IT, AND I MEANT IT. I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT BOX. I SWEAR! BUT YOU WILL...IN TIME. YOU'LL COME TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, YOUR POWERS, JUST LIKE PANDORA DID. AND THEN YOU'LL WANT TO GET THE BOX BACK, PUT THE SORROWS BACK. BUT, SEE, I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN. YOU WON'T HAVE A CHOICE. (LAUGHING) WHAT? YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME? DAGGER! BUT... GUARDIANS CAN'T ORB! NO, BUT WHITELIGHTERS CAN, AND INTO ANYTHING THEY WANT, TOO... OR ANYBODY. SORRY WE HAVEN'T MET BEFORE, BUT I'VE BEEN OTHERWISE ENGAGED! AAH! WHAT-- WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?! IT'S OK. IT'S OK. I'M HERE TO GET YOU HOME, ALL RIGHT? PANDORA'S BOX! I NEED YOU TO GIVE THIS TO HOPE FOR ME. I'D GIVE IT TO HER MYSELF, BUT THERE'S SOMEBODY I HAVE TO SEE. HOME! DARCY? WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE? THAT'S HER. JUST DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE. OK, HOPE, WE NEED YOUR HELP. YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN DO THIS. - I DON'T-- - LISTEN TO ME. THIS IS YOUR DESTINY. JUST LIKE BECOMING WITCHES WAS OURS. I JUST... UH, DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS. YOU'RE FORGETTING SOMETHING ABOUT PANDORA'S BOX. ACCORDING TO MYTH, WHEN ALL THE SORROWS ARE RELEASED, THERE WAS ONE THING LEFT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX-- HOPE. YOU CAN DO IT. (BOX WHISPERING) (WHISPERING STOPS) TOLD YOU YOU COULD DO IT. THANK YOU. HOW ARE THE EARS? BETTER, THANK YOU. IT WAS PRETTY RISKY OF YOU, SENDING ME OFF TO HELP A FUTURE WHITELIGHTER. - WAS IT? - YES. WE ALMOST DIDN'T GET PANDORA'S BOX. BUT YOU DID GET IT BACK. YES. WHICH PROVES THAT YOU CAN HANDLE BOTH YOUR CHARMED AND YOUR WHITELIGHTER RESPONSIBILITIES. - I DON'T SEE WHAT THAT HAS TO DO WITH-- - DIDN'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL SO PROUD, ACCOMPLISHING WHAT YOU DID IN THAT ELEVATOR? OF COURSE, I DID. AND YOU DID IT ALL BY YOURSELF, WITHOUT YOUR SISTERS. MAYBE THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR, PAIGE, YOUR SEPARATE IDENTITY. BEING A WHITELIGHTER CAN GIVE YOU THAT AND MUCH MORE. LIKE WHAT? FULFILMENT. YOU'RE A NATURAL, PAIGE. EVERYTHING YOU'VE BEEN AND DONE IN YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN PREPARING YOU TO BE A WHITELIGHTER. EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED TO HELP THOSE PEOPLE HAS BEEN INSIDE OF YOU ALL ALONG. WELL, IT DID FEEL GOOD TO SAVE THEM. THEN DON'T FIGHT THAT. EMBRACE IT, NOT FOR ME, NOT FOR THE ELDERS, BUT FOR YOURSELF. THINK ABOUT IT? WAIT. JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, WHO WAS THE FUTURE WHITELIGHTER I WAS SUPPOSED TO SAVE? YOU WERE. (MAKING CRASHING SOUND) SO HOW WAS YOUR DAY? VERY FUNNY. ACTUALLY, IT WAS ALL RIGHT. IT CALMED DOWN A BIT ONCE WYATT TRIED TO ORB A TOY TO HIMSELF AND HIT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD. OH, NO. IT'S OK. IT WAS JUST A LITTLE BUMP, BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO TEACH HIM THAT HE SHOULDN'T DO IT AGAIN. IS THAT YOUR WAY OF TELLING ME THAT MAGICAL BOYS WILL BE MAGICAL BOYS AGAIN? NO. YOU KNOW, WE BOTH NEED TO TEACH HIM WHEN AND WHERE TO USE HIS POWERS, THOUGH IT'S NOT GONNA BE EASY. AND ON THE OTHER HAND, WE DO NEED TO REALIZE THAT HE IS WHO HE IS, AND EVEN THOUGH I WANT A NORMAL FAMILY, I DON'T WANT IT AT THE EXPENSE OF THEM FINDING THEIR OWN IDENTITIES. WELL, UH, CHRIS HERE IS GONNA BE COMING INTO HIS POWERS SHORTLY. IT COULD GET A LITTLE NUTS AROUND HERE. AS OPPOSED TO WHAT? YEAH. WE'LL DEAL WITH IT AS IT COMES, TOGETHER. AND UNTIL THEN... WHY DON'T YOU SHOW MOMMY ALL THOSE COOL TRICKS YOU'VE BEEN LEARNING? GO AHEAD. IT'S OK. CAPTIONED BY THE NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air.
