Wyatt sabotages Piper's dates. Phoebe finds out that Spencer Ricks (that turkey!) is now working with her. ========================== CHARMED 6X07: SOUL SURVIVOR ========================== FADE IN: [INT. LARRY HENDERSON'S LAW FIRM -- NIGHT] (It's late in the evening. PAIGE is at her new temp job as an assistant to an attorney, LARRY HENDERSON. She stands next to his desk while he signs a stack of papers.) PAIGE: Ok, sign there ... (He flips the page.) PAIGE: ... and there ... (He flips to the next page.) PAIGE: ... and give me your John Hancock right there ... and you are done. LARRY HENDERSON: Right. (He glances at his wristwatch as he signs the papers.) LARRY HENDERSON: And, uh, what about the Smith case? PAIGE: Settled. LARRY HENDERSON: And the amendments to my living trust? PAIGE: Filed. (He looks around on his desk.) LARRY HENDERSON: Did you take care of my donation to the ... (He looks up at her and snaps his fingers, trying to remember.) PAIGE: ... Children's Foundation. Got it covered. It's going through in the morning. And may I say, that is a very generous donation. (He closes the folder in front of him.) LARRY HENDERSON: Well, uh, it was the least I could do, believe me. I don't think I could've gotten through all this without you, Paige. You have been a miracle worker. PAIGE: Thank you. You should've seen me at my other temp jobs, if you want to see miracles ... (She laughs. LARRY opens his desk drawer and pulls out an envelope.) LARRY HENDERSON: This is for you. It's my way of saying thank you. (He gives it to her. She takes it.) PAIGE: (hesitant) I really -- LARRY HENDERSON: Just take it. I know a good soul when I see one. (She nods at the compliment.) PAIGE: Thank you. (LARRY glances at his desk clock. It reads: 11:57 / 23 THU.) LARRY HENDERSON: (to PAIGE) So, you better go. I'm sure your family would never forgive me if I kept you here past midnight. PAIGE: Ok. Well, I'll see you tomorrow. (PAIGE turns and leaves the office. The camera follows her toward the door, then moves to focus on the desk clock again: 11:57 / 23 THU.) (LARRY swallows.) LARRY HENDERSON: (to himself) I wouldn't count on it. (The door shuts behind PAIGE.) (Alone, LARRY closes the file on his desk.) CUT TO: [INT. LARRY HENDERSON'S LAW FIRM - HALLWAY - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS] (PAIGE heads for the elevator, her bag over her shoulder and envelope bonus in her hand. She presses the elevator door button and looks inside the envelope and is astonished to find several hundred dollar bills.) (She doesn't like the look of it.) CUT TO: [INT. LARRY HENDERSON'S LAW FIRM - OFFICE - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS] (Camera opens on the desk clock. It reads: 11:59 / 23 THU. The clock changes to 12:00. Midnight.) (A demon materializes in the office. LARRY doesn't seem surprised to see him at all.) (PAIGE opens the door and walks into the office just in time to hear LARRY yell and go flying heels over head in front of her.) LARRY HENDERSON: No. No, no! (He lands on the floor with a thud. He looks up and warns PAIGE.) LARRY HENDERSON: Behind you! (The demon standing behind PAIGE powers up a fireball. In one smooth motion, PAIGE turns around, grabs the demon by his jacket lapels and throws him against the bookshelf where his own fireball vanquishes him.) DEMON: Aah! Aaaaaah! (The second DEMON stands on the side and powers up an energy ball. LARRY jumps to his feet and runs to protect PAIGE.) LARRY HENDERSON: No! Paige! (The DEMON throws the ball at PAIGE, but hits LARRY instead. LARRY falls back against the chair and lands on the floor with a thud. PAIGE looks down at LARRY.) PAIGE: Larry? DEMON: Forget it, witch. You lost him. (LARRY'S spirit leaves his body in a blur and instead of going up, the spirit falls downward through the floor.) (PAIGE is both stunned and devastated. She kneels down next to LARRY'S body and places her hands on him.) HARD CUT TO END OF TEASER ROLL TITLE CREDITS (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [EXT. VARIOUS SAN FRANCISCO CITY (STOCK) - NIGHT] [EXT. SAN FRANCISCO BRIDGE (STOCK) - DUSK TO MORNING] [EXT. SAN FRANCISCO CITY SKYLINE (STOCK) - MORNING] [EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR - MORNING] (Establish.) PIPER: (v.o.) Let's try just a little bit. [INT. MANOR - KITCHEN -- DAY] (PHOEBE walks into the kitchen where PIPER is trying to feed WYATT his breakfast.) PHOEBE: Good morning! PIPER: Morning. (PHOEBE kisses WYATT on his forehead then heads to the table. She puts her things on the table and removes her purse.) PHOEBE: So, how was your date? PIPER: Don't ask. (PHOEBE starts to put her shoes on. PIPER watches her for a moment.) PIPER: You need a hand? PHOEBE: Uh, sure, if you wanna go get my car washed, go to the dry cleaners for me, and go to work for me, too. That would be great. PIPER: Only if you can run the club, go to the dentist and raise Wyatt for me. (PHOEBE gets a cup out of the cabinet.) PHOEBE: Today I would trade with you in a second. (She pours herself a cup of coffee.) PHOEBE: Do you remember Spencer Ricks, that slimy advice columnist? PIPER: Uh, the one you turned into a turkey? PHOEBE: Yeah, well, I should've kept him that way. Elise just hired him away from the competition to work with me. (PHOEBE glances over at WYATT and is simply taken with him. She smiles.) PHOEBE: (mushily) Look at how handsome he looks. PIPER: Why would she do that? (PHOEBE takes out her compact and checks her makeup.) PHOEBE: I don't know. I guess to promote his hiring, she wants us to pick a letter and each give advice on it. So, you know, one--sensitive and caring, and the other one -- chauvinistic and ... PIPER: ... slimy? PHOEBE: Thank you. I have half a mind to call Jason and complain about it, but I don't want to use our relationship for leverage. PIPER: What's the use of sleeping with your boss then? PHOEBE: Because I actually enjoy sleeping with my boss. PIPER: Yeah, don't brag. PHOEBE: You know, not getting any is making you bitter. (PIPER interrupts and indicates WYATT in his chair.) PIPER: Hel-lo. Hi. Excuse me. Do you mind? PHOEBE: Oh, he doesn't know what we're talking about. He's ten months old. He thinks we're talking about milk, for god sakes. PIPER: Phoebe, he conjured a dragon. I wouldn't put anything past him. PHOEBE: That's a good point. PIPER: Now, if he could find a way to keep guys from bolting every time they lay eyes on him ... it's not easy dating as a single mom. PHOEBE: Come on. There's got to be lots of guys out there that like kids. PIPER: Yeah. I haven't met any so far, so I'm just gonna cut to the chase. I've got three dates lined up. They're all gonna meet Wyatt on the first date, and if they don't like it, tough. PHOEBE: You could always turn them into a turkey. (PHOEBE turns around and shows PIPER her vial filled with amber-colored liquid. She smiles.) WYATT: Huh? (The back door opens and PAIGE walks in. She looks like she's had an absolute rough night. PAIGE walks past them without saying a word.) PHOEBE: Where have you been? (In fact, PAIGE doesn't stop at all.) PHOEBE: (concerned) Paige! (PHOEBE takes off after her.) CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - DINING ROOM / MAIN HALL - DAY -- CONTINUOUS] (PAIGE walks out of the kitchen and into the Dining Room. PHOEBE is hot on her heels.) PHOEBE: Paige, what happened? (Still, PAIGE doesn't stop.) [STAIRWAY] (PAIGE exits the dining room and turns to head up the stairs. PHOEBE runs to stand in front of PAIGE, effectively blocking her escapae.) PHOEBE: What's the matter? (On the stairs, PAIGE stops. She rubs her forehead tiredly with her hand.) PAIGE: (dazed) What -- what time is it? PHOEBE: 8:00. Were you out all night? PAIGE: Yeah, I guess I was. (In the sitting room, PIPER puts WYATT in his playpen.) PIPER: (to WYATT) You hang on right there. (PHOEBE notices that PAIGE is not looking good.) PHOEBE: Ok, sit down here for a second. Talk to us. (PHOEBE and PAIGE sit on the lower steps of the stairs. PIPER joins them, standing in front of them to listen.) PAIGE: I lost an innocent last night. A demon killed him right in front of me. PHOEBE: Oh, god. PAIGE: Yeah. I should've seen it coming. Every other job wound up needing my help. I just don't know why I didn't see it. PIPER: Well, maybe you weren't meant to. PAIGE: No, I was. I just -- I didn't. Even worse, when I tried to save him, he wound up saving me. I just wish I knew what was going on -- why they were after Larry in the first place and how he knew they were coming for him. PIPER: What do you mean he knew? PAIGE: He just did. He was finalizing his will, making donations, tried to get me out of there. He knew. PHOEBE: How could he have known? PIPER: I don't know. Unless maybe he wasn't so innocent ... Which is probably why you weren't meant to save him. PAIGE: No, I don't believe that. PHOEBE: Look, Paige, even if he was an innocent, you can't save everybody. I mean, that's just a lesson we've all had to learn, unfortunately. PIAGE: I know. PIPER: Paige, you can't blame yourself for what happened. If you were meant to save him, you would've. You have to believe that. PAIGE: I can't. (PAIGE stands up, grabs her purse and heads up the stairs. PHOEBE and PIPER both take deep breaths knowing exactly what PAIGE is going through and feeling for her.) CUT TO: [EXT. ALLEY -- DAY] CLOSE ON: LOW TO THE GROUND, A pair of feet step in front of the camera. The MAN walks toward the alley wall. When he gets close enough to the wall and far enough from the camera, we see that it's LEO. (LEO faces the wall and places his hand flat on it. He's looking for something. He works his way to the right – touching, feeling the hard surface.) (Suddenly, the portal in the wall opens and CHRIS tumbles out, landing on LEO sending them both crashing into the old abandoned cushion on the alley floor.) CHRIS PERRY: Hunh! Unh! Uhh! (CHRIS realizes who just broke his fall.) CHRIS PERRY: Leo, what are you doing here? LEO: Get off of me. (LEO pushes CHRIS off of him. They both get to their feet.) CHRIS PERRY: Are you following me again? I thought we were past these issues. LEO: (looking at the portal) What is that? CHRIS PERRY: That? (he shrugs) Nothing. LEO: No? (LEO grabs CHRIS and pushes him toward the portal. CHRIS' head and shoulders pass through the doorway while the rest of his body remains in the present.) (After a moment, LEO pulls CHRIS back. CHRIS has a knight's helmet on his head.) LEO: (surprised) What the hell? (CHRIS raises the face guard and looks at LEO.) CHRIS PERRY: Long story. (CHRIS takes off the helmet while LEO looks at the portal/wall.) LEO: What is that, a time portal? Is that what that is? CHRIS PERRY: I don't have to answer that. LEO: What are you using it for? I thought you said you had nothing to hide. CHRIS PERRY: I don't have to answer that either. LEO: Want to bet? (LEO grabs CHRIS and pushes him through the portal. LEO steps into the portal after him.) (Camera lingers on the wall as the portal light disappears.) CUT TO: [EXT. ROCKY LANDSCAPE - DAY] (Open on a rocky ledge. The portal opens. CHRIS and LEO are both literally thrown out of the portal and fall down to the rocky ground where they tumble down the mountain incline.) (ouch.) (They stop at the bottom of the mountainside, both obviously in pain. They slowly get to their feet, dusty and dirty from the fall.) LEO: (looking around) Where are we? CHRIS PERRY: How the hell should I know? That's what I was trying to tell you. I don't know how to control it. LEO: Yeah. (They both look around the area.) CUE SOUND: (O.S.) GROWLING (They slowly turn around. CHRIS turns around and sees it first. Without a word, he bolts, leaving LEO watching him run.) (LEO turns around and sees the massive Tyrannosaurus Rex headed their way.) (LEO takes off after CHRIS.) CUT TO: [EXT. OFFICE BUILDINGS (STOCK) - DAY] PAIGE: (v.o.) So, if there's anything that I can do ... [INT. LARRY HENDERSON'S LAW FIRM - CORRIDOR / LOBBY -- DAY ] (The wake for LARRY HENDERSON is held at his law firm. PAIGE talks with his wife.) MRS. HENDERSON: Thank you. I just can't believe that he's gone. PAIGE: I know. MRS. HENDERSON: I'm grateful that he was not alone when it happened. I know that he didn't know you very long, but I'm glad you were with him. PAIGE: I just wish I'd gotten there sooner. MRS. HENDERSON: There's nothing you could have done. He had a heart attack. It was his time, I guess. PAIGE: (mutters) Yeah. I'm not so sure about that. (to MRS. HENDERSON) I just--I mean that he was so young. And from everything that people have said, he was just this great guy, you know? It just doesn't seem fair. MRS. HENDERSON: No, it doesn't, does it? PAIGE: So, Mrs. Henderson, I feel weird asking you this, but was he acting any differently before - (A WOMAN leaving interrupts PAIGE.) GUEST (WOMAN): (to MRS. HENDERSON) I'm sorry. I have to go now, but if there is anything you need, just call me. MRS. HENDERSON: Yeah, ok. Thank you. (MRS. HENDERSON hugs the WOMAN. The WOMAN leaves. PAIGE turns to leave. MRS. HENDERSON stops her.) PAIGE: I don't mean to be taking up all of your time. MRS. HENDERSON: No. Wait, please. What made you ask that? PAIGE: It's just some of the things that he asked me to do for him before -- just almost as if he knew something was gonna happen. MRS. HENDERSON: Actually, he knew about a lot of things before they would happen. In fact, sometimes I almost thought that he was clairvoyant. PAIGE: Really? MRS. HENDERSON: I mean, at least in business anyway. Up until a couple of years ago, we had nothing -- flat broke, going nowhere, and then, just all of a sudden -- PAIGE: (prompting) ... All of a sudden...? MRS. HENDERSON: I don't know. It was like he won the lottery or something. Suddenly, he couldn't lose. Every deal he made was golden. And at first, he was happy, of course, but then he wasn't. And whenever I would ask him how he did it or how he knew ... he would just say that he could sense, you know, what was about to happen. What could that possibly mean? (A MAN walks up to MRS. HENDERSON.) MAN: Excuse me. His brother's on the phone. MRS. HENDERSON: (to PAIGE) Excuse me. (Cut to: [HALLWAY] The elevator bell dings. RICHARD MONTANA walks out. He looks up and sees the back of someone familiar.) RICHARD MONTANA: Hi, Paige. (PAIGE turns around.) PAIGE: Richard. RICHARD MONTANA: Last time I saw you, you were kinda savin' my life. (PAIGE laughs a bit.) RICHARD MONATA: How are you? (PAIGE looks at him and doesn't say anything.) CUT TO: [INT. BAY MIRROR - PHOEBE'S OFFICE -- DAY] (Camera opens on a pair of shoes resting on PHOEBE'S desk. PHOEBE walks into her office. She rolls her eyes and shuts the office door closed.) (Sitting in her chair with his feet on her desk is SPENCER RICKS.) SPENCER RICKS: As I live and breathe, Phoeble. Where you been? What, are you keeping bankers' hours? PHOEBE: Turkey. Ok, first of all, get your feet off my desk, and, secondly, get out of my chair. SPENCER RICKS: Aw, and here I thought we were gonna be friends. PHOEBE: Now! SPENCER RICKS: All right. All right. Jeez, keep your panties on. (SPENCER RICKS gets up off of her chair and moves around her desk. PHOEBE slides past him to get to her chair. As they pass each other, he checks her out.) SPENCER RICKS: (under his breath) Oh, nice. (PHOEBE rolls her eyes, irritated by his chauvinistic comments.) PHOEBE: Ok, let's get a couple of things straight here. I didn't ask for this, and I don't like it, so don't push it or else - SPENCER RICKS: ... or else, what? (She scoffs, so tempted to tell him.) PHOEBE: You know what? Let's just pick a letter. SPENCER RICKS: Well, let's start with there is nothing good in this pile of drivel. I mean, there's some lady who wants to break up with a loser, another who "wants to be closer to mommy." And this one, she's worried about losing her virginity. It's like a freaking PMS convention. (As he talks, PHOEBE looks longingly at the vial of amber colored liquid in her hand.) SPENCER RICKS: Let me ask you a question. Do you ever get letters from anybody other than a bunch of whiny chicks? (Aw, forget it. PHOEBE throws the potion and hits SPENCER RICKS square in his chest.) PHOEBE: Uhh! (He glows, then transforms into a turkey.) (PHOEBE looks at the turkey then has a bout of consciousness. She sits down in her chair and takes out another vial. She looks at it, then tosses it on the gobbling turkey.) (The vial hits the turkey, morphing it back into SPENCER RICKS. He cricks his neck.) PHOEBE: (resigned) As you were saying? (SPENCER RICKS clears his throat.) CUT TO: [INT. P-3 - BAR -- DAY] (PIPER sits at the counter looking down at WYATT behind the bar.) RYAN: (o.s.) Piper! (She looks up and sees RYAN walking down the stairs.) PIPER: Ryan, hi. Good, you got my message. RYAN: (smiling) Yeah. My secretary caught me before I left. I thought we were gonna meet at the restaurant. PIPER: Yeah. Sorry about that. Something came up. (He walks up to the bar.) RYAN: Is everything ok? PIPER: Yeah. Everything's fine. It's just that, um ... my baby-sitter canceled at the last minute. RYAN: Baby-sitter? (PIPER nods.) You have A ... baby? PIPER: (smiles and nods) Uh-huh. (PIPER reaches down behind her and pulls out the little walker seat that WYATT is sitting in.) PIPER: What do you think? RYAN: I think ... he's adorable. (RYAN leans over and smiles at WYATT.) PIPER: You do? RYAN: Absolutely. What's his name? PIPER: Wyatt. Um, so, you're ok with this? You still want to go out? RYAN: Oh, are you kidding? I love babies, although, I think, maybe we should go to Chuck E. Cheese now. Do you mind? (RYAN reaches past PIPER and picks WYATT up and out of his walker seat.) PIPER: No. I'll just grab my purse. RYAN: Sure. Hey! Hey, there, big fella. (RYAN bounces WYATT up and down as PIPER heads back to her office.) RYAN: You wanna go with mommy and me to lunch, huh? Do ya ... ? [OFF WYATT'S BACK] (As soon as PIPER is out of view, WYATT'S eyes glow white orb lights, frightening RYAN. RYAN puts WYATT down on the floor.) RYAN: Oh...hahh ... oh, my. Ah ... (RYAN peals it out of the club. He can't get out of there fast enough. PIPER: (o.s.) We should probably take separate cars because of the baby ... (PIPER walks back out to the club just in time to see RYAN run out the front door.) PIPER: ... seat. (PIPER looks around the counter and sees WYATT standing alone.) PIPER: Hi. What are you doing? (WYATT squeals and walks over toward his mommy. She picks him up as we hear the tires from RYAN'S car screech in the background.) PIPER: Well, fine. (PIPER looks down at WYATT.) CUT TO: [EXT. STREET - SIDEWALK -- DAY] (RICHARD and PAIGE walk down the sidewalk.) RICHARD MONTANA: Actually, I'm all by myself in the house now. My mom moved out east. Family followed. It's weird to think the only thing holding us together was a feud. PAIGE: Makes me sorry I helped end it. RICHARD MONTANA: Don't be. It's an amazing freedom. (PAIGE doesn't respond to that comment. He glances at her.) RICHARD MONTANA: You're really beating yourself up, huh? PAIGE: Yeah. I guess I am. I think I was put in Larry's life for a reason, and it probably wasn't just to watch him die. RICHARD MONTANA: You really believe in that stuff, don't you? PAIGE: What? RICHARD MONTANA: Fate, Destiny. PAIGE: Yeah. Don't you? RICHARD MONTANA: I didn't, not until I met you. (For some reason, that pleases PAIGE.) With all these magical wars in my family -- I mean, if there's some kind of grand plan, it sucks. (PAIGE smiles.) What are you smiling at? PAIGE: Nothing. It's just kinda nice to talk to someone about all this magicky stuff, I mean, other than my sisters, of course. RICHARD MONTANA: What do they think you should do about Larry? PAIGE: Basically, just let it go. RICHARD MONTANA: Well, if you'd have let it go with me, I probably wouldn't be alive right now. PAIGE: Still, I wouldn't even know where to start. RICHARD MONTANA: Start with Larry. (She looks surprised at the suggestion.) RICHARD MONTANA: (shrugs) Wouldn't be the first ghost you've summoned. (PAIGE smiles at the suggestion and they both walk out of camera frame.) CUT TO: [INT. DEMONIC AUCTION HOUSE] (LARRY stands on the middle of the auction block wearing a burlap sack and shackles on his hands and bare feet. On the side lined up for their turn are other souls. Up on the second floor are other souls in cages. ZAHN, the auctioneer loudly announces the beginning of the auction.) ZAHN: The cream of the crop, ladies and demons. The best souls you'll find up for auction anywhere in the underworld. Guaranteed or your powers back. (ZAHN turns around and walks in front of LARRY. He chucks him on his chin.) ZAHN: (to LARRY) Straighten up. (ZAHN pushes LARRY out to the center of the auction block then turns to face the crowd of male and female demon bidders.) ZAHN: Take, for example, Larry Henderson here. Now, I'll spare you the pitiful details of his life, and only say that, thanks to me, he became one of the most prominent lawyers in San Francisco. He's a true prize for any soul collector, eater, or trader. So what say we start the bidding at ... two powers? (As LARRY stands there waiting for the inevitable, golden orb lights appear out of nowhere and swirl around him - growing and multiplying until it finally engulfs him in a gold light.) (ZAHN turns around, clearly surprised.) (The orb lights whisk LARRY out of the Auction House. The empty shackles fall to the auction block with a loud thud.) (ZAHN motions to his minion.) ZAHN: Find him! (The minion runs out and with a blur, disappears from the Auction House. The crowd murmurs.) CUT TO: [EXT. MANOR - DAY] (Establish.) [INT. MANOR - MAIN HALL -- DAY] ANGLE DOWN: PAIGE and RICHARD stand just outside the circle of candles set up in the middle of the hallway carpet. (Bright clusters of golden orb lights appear and bring LARRY to the center of the candles. LARRY looks down at himself, wondering what happened.) PAIGE: Welcome back, Larry. (Surprised, LARRY jumps and turns around startled.) LARRY HENDERSON: Wha--? (He looks at RICHARD, then at PAIGE. RICHARD glances from PAIGE to LARRY. LARRY stares at PAIGE who smiles with obvious pleasure.) FADE OUT. (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [EXT. MANOR - DAY] (Establish.) [INT. MANOR - MAIN HALL -- DAY] (LARRY looks around the room.) LARRY HENDERSON: (nervously) Uh, uh ... ok, you-you-you've got to send me back before Zahn gets pissed. PAIGE: Zahn--is that the demon that ... ? LARRY HENDERSON: Killed me? Ah, yeah. For all intents and purposes, yes. Come on. Reverse the spell. Come on. PAIGE: I can't, not till we figure out what's going on. LARRY HENDERSON: Paige, I'm begging you. RICHARD MONTANA: Larry, give it up. She's stubborn when she wants to be. (PAIGE blushes.) RICHARD MONTANA: Trust me. (LARRY looks at RICHARD.) LARRY HENDERSON: (confused) Do I know you? RICHARD MONTANA: Ah ... no. You know my family. You did some accounting for us. LARRY HENDERSON: Ok, and exactly how are you involved with this? RICHARD MONTANA: Just, uh ... Fate. LARRY HENDERSON: Ahh, great. Fate. Well, you want to talk about Fate. If I don't live up to my end of the deal, my wife's fate is screwed, too, and I'm not gonna let that happen. Now, come on. PAIGE: What, did you make some sort of Faustian deal? LARRY HENDERSON: (sighs) Yeah. (looks down) Yeah, I did. (PAIGE sighs.) LARRY HENDERSON: Look, I'm not proud of it, all right? But Zahn came to me five years ago when I was down and hurting, and he promised to pull me out of it in exchange for my, um ... (RICHARD looks at LARRY.) ... for my soul ... and, uh, last night payment came due in full. PAIGE: So that's how you built up your firm? LARRY HENDERSON: Well, among other things. (RICHARD nods.) But then when I realized how Zahn was making me rich off of other people's pain and all the freak accidents, and--I tried to stop it. I tried to break the deal, but when I realized I couldn't, I tried to make amends and tried to give away everything before it was too late. (The front door opens and closes. LARRY looks past them and sees PIPER walk into the house with WYATT in her arms.) (PIPER looks at everyone in the hallway.) PIPER: Paige? (PAIGE turns around and sees PIPER.) PAIGE: Oh, hey, you, um, remember Richard. PIPER: (to RICHARD) Hi. (He holds up a hand in greeting.) RICHARD MONTANA: Hey. PIPER: What's going on? PAIGE: Oh, you know, just, uh ... summoning a ghost. (PAIGE smiles helplessly at PIPER. PIPER'S smile freezes on her face. Without another word, she heads to the Conservatory. PAIGE follows her out of the room.) [CONSERVATORY – DAY -- CONTINUOUS] (PIPER puts WYATT down in his playpen.) PIPER: Ok. (PAIGE enters the room.) PAIGE: What was I supposed to do, just let him rot in hell or wherever he was? PIPER: Paige, that's the thing: You don't even know where you summoned him from. How do you know that all the demons in the underworld aren't out looking for him? PAIGE: Yeah, but that's all the more reason to save him. PIPER: Save him? He's dead. PAIGE: No. He hasn't moved on yet, which means I have a chance to save his soul before Zahn gets it. PIPER: And who's Zahn? PAIGE: The demon he made a deal with. PIPER: No. That's not what I mean. What is his level? What are his powers? (PAIGE pauses.) PAIGE: I don't know. I haven't checked the Book yet. PIPER: So you have no idea what you're up against? PAIGE: No, but does it really matter? PIPER: Paige, look, I know this search is important to you and you need to maintain a separate identity, but you can't keep going off on your own. It's not how we work. PAIGE: Well, if I hadn't, Larry's soul could have been lost by now. PIPER: He sold his soul. It was his choice. PAIGE: Yeah, well, so he makes a mistake in life. Does that mean that he has to pay for it in his afterlife, too? PIPER: Yeah, maybe, because actions have consequences, and we can't go around cleaning up after everybody's mistakes, especially mistakes like this. PAIGE: So, what, do you want me to just send him back? PIPER: I think that if you bring danger into this house, you need to talk to us about it beforehand. PAIGE: I did, but you weren't exactly supportive, unlike Richard, who actually was. PIPER: Well, what does Richard have to do with this? You barely even know him. PAIGE: Maybe. But he seems to get me more than you. (PAIGE leaves the room while PIPER shakes her head.) [MAIN HALL / STAIRS - CONTINUOUS] (PAIGE walks back to RICHARD and LARRY.) PAIGE: (to RICHARD) Hey, listen, thanks so much for your help, but I think maybe you better ... (she motions to the door with her head) ... pfft ... go. RICHARD MONTANA: Are you sure? PAIGE: Yeah, but ... I'll call you later. RICHARD MONTANA: (nods) Ok. (PAIGE looks at LARRY.) PAIGE: And you ... come with me. (PAIGE walks past LARRY and heads up the stairs.) LARRY HENDERSON: What? Why? Where are we goin'? PAIGE: We are going to save your soul. (LARRY sighs and reluctantly follows PAIGE up the stairs. RICHARD watches them leave the room. He turns and looks over at PIPER who sighs.) (RICHARD turns to leave the house.) CUT TO: [INT. ROCKY AREA -- DAY] (CHRIS and LEO run like heck across the rocky ledges heading for higher ground.) CHRIS PERRY: C'mon! (As they reach the top of the mountain, the T-Rex fast approaches them.) (CHRIS reaches the top and jumps down. LEO is right behind him and the T-Rex behind him.) CHRIS PERRY: Go! (CHRIS reaches the bottom, turns and ducks under the rocks. LEO follows him. The T-Rex jumps down to the rocks above them. Dust and sand shower down on them. The T-Rex walks by them.) (They watch the T-Rex now in front of them.) CHRIS PERRY: I don't understand. Why can't we orb? LEO: Prehistoric: Magic won't be around until there's people around to use it. CHRIS PERRY: Perfect. So we'll just hang out for the next million years or so? No problem. LEO: More like 65 million. Looks like the cretaceous period. CHRIS PERRY: Man, you are old. (LEO looks at CHRIS. CHRIS slowly gets to his feet.) CHRIS PERRY: I think he's gone. He looks gone. Do you think he's gone? (CHRIS edges out of the protection of the rocks to get a better look.) LEO: No. CHRIS PERRY: Neither do I. (CHRIS makes a break for it. LEO follows him.) CUT TO: (LEO and CHRIS reach the top of the rocky hillside.) LEO: Well, the sooner we can get back to our time, the less we'll have to worry about. CHRIS PERRY: That's gonna be a problem. LEO: What do you mean? CHRIS PERRY: I mean, you just don't create time portals out of thin air. It's not like that. LEO: Well, you coming back from the future originally seemed like an exact science. CHRIS PERRY: That was a spell, all right? A one-way door. It only goes backward in time, not forward. LEO: So what? You're just creating portals to, uh, try and get back to your future, is that it? Why? (CHRIS stops walking and turns around to look at LEO.) CHRIS PERRY: To see if it changed, ok? To see if I stopped the demon who was after Wyatt. (LEO looks doubtfully at CHRIS.) CHRIS PERRY: What, you still don't believe me? LEO: All I care about right now is getting back home. (LEO walks past CHRIS and continues down the mountainside. CHRIS follows.) CHRIS PERRY: Well, all you gotta do is find the portal that dumped us here. Good luck. Watch out for the dinosaurs. (CHRIS walks past LEO.) LEO: You'd like that, wouldn't ya, get rid of me once and for all? (CHRIS stops walking.) CHRIS PERRY: You were the one who sent us back to jurassic park, all right? Not me. (LEO walks past CHRIS.) LEO: Wouldn't be the first time you tried to get rid of me. CHRIS PERRY: (shrugs) Think what you want, but know this: If we don't find a way back, Wyatt's screwed. If you don't believe me, believe that. (LEO walks off camera frame. CHRIS runs to catch up with him.) CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - KITCHEN -- DAY] (Open on WYATT in his high chair playing with some toys on his tray. PIPER'S on the phone with PHOEBE.) PHOEBE: (from phone) Have you tried calling for Leo? PIPER: (to phone) Yeah. He's not answering either. He's probably out chasing after Chris, and god only knows where that is. INTERCUT WITH: [INT. THE BAY MIRROR - PHOEBE'S OFFICE - DAY] (PHOEBE is on the phone in her office pacing the phone.) PHOEBE: You're gonna have to talk to those guys. They're never around when we need them anymore. PIPER: Yeah. I think we need to talk to Paige first because this little power- of-one kick of hers is getting out of control. PHOEBE: Except, didn't we promise we wouldn't butt-in anymore? PIPER: Yeah, but that was when she was just helping Richard. She wasn't yanking souls away from angry demons. (The doorbell rings. PIPER turns around to look at the hallway, but she stays in the kitchen.) PIPER: Look, I'm not saying that we need to gang-up on her, but this is clearly becoming a pattern, and we need to remind her that we have a shared destiny to worry about, too. PHOEBE: Ok. I'll be right there. [INT. MANOR - KITCHEN - DAY -- CONTINUOUS] PIPER: Ok. Bye. (PIPER hangs up the phone.) PIPER: (to WYATT) All right, let's get this over with. What do you think? (PIPER reaches for WYATT as the doorbell rings again.) CUT TO: [INT. THE BAY MIRROR - DAY - CONTINUOUS] (PHOEBE grabs her bag and turns to leave the office. SPENCER RICKS tries to stop her.) SPENCER RICKS: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Where are you going, toots? PHOEBE: Home, if you must know. SPENCER RICKS: Home? Are you nuts? We got a column we gotta write, and ... (he lifts up a sheet of paper) ... I've just found the perfect letter for us to respond to. "Dear Phoebe, I am a breast man at heart, but the problem is, this girl I like is flat as a board. ... (He chuckles in amusement. PHOEBE looks down into her bag and pulls something out.) SPENCER RICKS: ... Should I even bother asking her out?" (He laughs.) SPENCER RICKS: Now this is a letter I can respond to. (PHOEBE throws the vial at SPENCER RICKS.) PHOEBE: Uhh! (There's a blinding flash of white and SPENCER RICKS morphs into a gunting pig.) PHOEBE: (unsympathetically) Must have been the wrong potion. (PHOEBE heads for the door and squeezes her way past the pig.) PHOEBE: Excuse me. (to the pig) This way. (She swishes him into her office.) Inside. Inside. Inside. (PHOEBE shuts the door behind her leaving the pig inside her office.) CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - FOYER / FRONT PORCH -- DAY] (The front door opens. PIPER smiles.) PIPER: Brett, hi. BRETT: Piper, I didn't think you were, uh ... (She opens the door further to show WYATT in her arms.) BRETT ... home. PIPER: Oh, sorry it took me so long. I had to go get my baby. BRETT: Your baby. Uh, I actually didn't realize you were, uh ... (He glances at WYATT.) PIPER: (supplies) ... a mom? BRETT: Right. That. Why didn't you tell me? PIPER: Well, you know, some guys just don't hear that very well. Um, go figure, right? (BRETT looks away. PIPER sees the movement.) PIPER: Hmm. Uh, well, I don't mean to be rude, but, um, something's come up, and I, uh, I can't go out right now, so if you don't want to reschedule, it's perfectly understandable. BRETT: Why wouldn't I? Unless you've got ten more of those somewhere. PIPER: No. Um, just the one. BRETT: Not a problem. (PIPER appears pleased.) Did I pass the test? PIPER: (nods) With flying colors. (There's a loud clattering noise coming from the attic. PIPER turns around to look.) PIPER: Paige? (With her back to the door, WYATT turns around and looks at BRETT.) (OFF WYATT: White orb lights shine from WYATT'S eyes. BRETT has the full frontal view of this. His eyes-widen and jaw drops at the scary sight.) (Without another word, BRETT turns and runs at break-neck speed away from the house.) (WYATT watches him go.) PIPER: I, uh, I'd better ... (PIPER turns around and finds the porch empty.) PIPER: ... go. (In the background, we hear a car engine starting. PIPER looks down suspiciously at WYATT. The sounds of tires screeching furiously away from the house is heard as PIPER closes the front door.) CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - ATTIC -- DAY] (Open on: The Book of Shadows is on the page for ZAHN.) (PAIGE goes flying across the attic; she crashes into the Book of Shadows on its stand and lands on the floor with a thud.) PAIGE: Aah! (LARRY kneels down to check on her.) ZAHN: You know, ordinarily, I'd be upset if you summoned me, but seeing as you just helped me find Larry, I'll be merciful. LARRY HENDERSON: Now, don't hurt her, Zahn, please. She didn't know. She was just trying to help me. ZAHN: Oh, really? What, you thought vanquishing me would set him free, is that it? PAIGE: As a matter of fact--uhh! (PAIGE throws a potion vial at him. ZAHN raises his hand and throws an energy ball at it exploding the vial in mid-air.) ZAHN: You were saying? PAIGE: You're a low-level demon. You're not supposed to have that power. ZAHN: Lady, I haven't been low-level in years, not since I started trading souls for powers. Wanna see? (He raises his hand and powers up an energy ball. PAIGE starts to orb out.) (He throws it at her. The energy ball passes through her. PAIGE re-orbs back into the room.) (PIPER walks into the attic.) PIPER: Paige? (ZAHN turns and waves his hand telekinetically throwing PIPER up and back against the wall.) PIPER: Ooh! (She lands on the floor with a thud. PAIGE rushes over to her to help her up.) PAIGE: Piper! PIPER: Uhh ... (PIPER gets to her feet.) ZAHN: And just for future reference, even if you could vanquish me, it would only make it worse for Larry. Paragraph 5, subsection 6, line 3: "All souls in my possession will burn in eternal flames upon my untimely demise." Believe me ... it's a fate worse than anything that could possibly happen at auction -- a little protection clause I put in all my contracts. (ZAHN walks over to LARRY. He raises his hand and the shackles re-appear binding LARRY'S wrists and ankles.) ZAHN: Consider yourself repossessed. (ZAHN raises his arm sending himself and LARRY back down whence they came in a flash of flames. PAIGE looks down avoiding PIPER'S wordless glance.) FADE OUT. (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [EXT. MANOR - DAY] (Establish.) PHOEBE: (v.o.) This would all be ... [INT MANOR - ATTIC -- DAY] (PHOEBE walks into the attic carrying a cold pack. She makes her way toward PIPER who is lying back on the couch.) PHOEBE: ... so much easier if someone that could heal you was actually listening! (PIPER sits up and PHOEBE puts the ice pack on her shoulder.) PIPER: It's no big deal. I've had worse. PHOEBE: Still, those two need a talking to, I tell ya. (PAIGE leafs through the Book of Shadows.) PAIGE: I don't understand this. Faustian deals have been around for more than a century, but there is nothing in on how to break them. How is that possible? PIPER: Maybe 'cause they can't be broken. PAIGE: Can't be. There's gotta be a way. I am not giving up on Larry now. (PHOEBE glances at PIPER.) PHOEBE: Listen, sweetie, maybe you should. I know you feel guilty about what happened -- PAIGE: That's not it. PHOEBE: It's affecting all of us now, not just you. PAIGE: I said I was sorry. PIPER: That's not the point. PAIGE: Listen, I just want to save his soul. PIPER: But you can't. PAIGE: Larry said that Zahn keeps his contracts locked up somewhere, so if we can find them and destroy them, then we can set all those souls free. PIPER: I don't think so. PAIGE: Why not? PHOEBE: We think we should go after Zahn, stop him before he gets any more powers. PAIGE: What, and just let all those souls burn? PIPER: They're already lost, Paige. He's already got them. (PAIGE sighs.) PHOEBE: I think it's important that you stop him before he becomes unstoppable. PAIGE: (insistent) No. PIPER: Look, Paige, we don't like this any more than you do, but this is where we're at. PAIGE: But he's MY innocent. PIPER: Yeah, but this is OUR problem, and one we did not ask for, by the way. PAIGE: (stubbornly) No. I'm not sacrificing him. (PIPER sighs.) PIPER: (final) You don't have a choice. This is beyond your control, I'm sorry. (PAIGE looks at both of them, then leaves the room. This is not good.) PHOEBE: (groans) Hmm ... CUT TO: [EXT. MONTANA RESIDENCE] (Establish.) [INT. MONTANA RESIDENCE - STUDY -- EVENING] (RICHARD is sitting behind his desk looking through a file with his open calendar next to it. He looks up when he hears footsteps approaching.) (PAIGE walks into the study.) RICHARD MONTANA: Hiya, Paige. PAIGE: Hey, your housekeeper let me in. I hope you don't mind. RICHARD MONTANA: No, it's fine. (PAIGE nods, but is unusually quiet.) RICHARD MONTANA: (stands up) Are you ok? Everything all right? (She shakes her head.) PAIGE: (whispers) No. CUT TO: [EXT. CAVE -- DAY] (LEO and CHRIS make their way down the rocky slope.) CHRIS PERRY: This looks familiar, doesn't it? LEO: Yeah. (LEO looks over at CHRIS.) CHRIS PERRY: Maybe we should split up, find the portal faster. (Agreeing somewhat, LEO and CHRIS start searching in separate places for the portal.) LEO: Wait. If one of us gets caught, the other one needs to keep going, for Wyatt's sake. CHRIS PERRY: Oh, you believe me about him now? LEO: No. I just want to let you know what's gonna happen if you get caught. (LEO turns away. CHRIS shakes his head.) (They start searching the rocky wall for the portal. CHRIS reaches out and his hand passes through the solid rock.) CHRIS PERRY: Found it! (LEO turns around and starts to make his way back toward CHRIS. Nearby, the T- Rex growls startling LEO. LEO turns to look behind him, slips and starts to slide down the rocky ledge.) (CHRIS hears the sounds of LEO falling and calls out to him.) CHRIS PERRY: Leo! (LEO is near the bottom of the hill, the T-Rex looming just above him. CHRIS glances between the portal ... and LEO.) (CHRIS rushes over to LEO and helps him up.) CHRIS PERRY: Come on. Come on. Go! Go! Go! (The two men run back up the hill and dive into the portal, the T-Rex just behind them. They barely make it through.) CUT TO: [EXT. GRASSY CLEARING -- DAY] (The two men appear out of the portal door and tumble head over heels out into the middle of a grassy meadow.) CHRIS / LEO: Ohh! (They roll over onto their backs and take deep relieving breaths.) CHRIS PERRY: Are you ok? LEO: (sighs gratefully) Yeah. Thanks for not listening to me. CHRIS PERRY: Anytime. (They barely pause a moment, when a group of soldiers dressed in confederate uniforms surround them, pointing their rifles at the two defenseless men.) (LEO raises his head and looks up along the rifle barrel pointed at his chest to the soldier behind it.) LEAD SOLDIER: You boys Yankees? (CHRIS raises his head and looks around at the men.) CHRIS PERRY: (sighs) Oh ... (CHRIS plops his head back down on the grass. The LEAD SOLDIER takes a step backward and allows the others to help the strangers up.) CUT TO: [INT. MONTANA RESIDENCE - STUDY -- NIGHT] (PAIGE sits down on the couch. She sighs. RICHARD walks into the room holding a glass of something for PAIGE to drink.) RICHARD MONTANA: Here. PAIGE: Thank you. (She sips from the glass, then puts it down on the table. RICHARD sits down next to her.) RICHARD MONTANA: So, uh, what are you gonna do? PAIGE: Well, I got a plan on how to save Larry, but it's kinda risky. RICHARD MONTANA: Maybe you shouldn't go through with it. I mean, uh, maybe your sisters are right. PAIGE: You're the one who told me to follow my gut instincts. RICHARD MONTANA: I know. I just, uh ... I don't want you to get hurt. (PAIGE looks at RICHARD, touched by his concern.) PAIGE: Listen, I'm gonna need your help to pull this off. RICHARD MONTANA: (shakes his head) Paige, uh ... if I do magic-- PAIGE: No. No, I am not asking you to do that. I'm just gonna need you to get my sisters when it's time. I need their help, too, but they can't know about it until it's too late to stop me. RICHARD MONTANA: Won't they get pissed? PAIGE: (laughs) Yeah, probably. Guess I'm pretty stubborn, huh? RICHARD MONTANA: Yeah. In a good way. Paige ... you have a gift. Don't fight it. PAIGE: (appreciative) Thank you. (She glances around the room.) PAIGE: Got any candles? (RICHARD looks at PAIGE. She's smiling at him, a complete turn around from when she first walked into the house.) CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - ATTIC -- NIGHT] (PIPER lights the candles set in a circle on the carpet in the center of the attic.) PIPER: How do we know she's not gonna just summon him herself again? (Behind her, PHOEBE stands at the table making a potion.) PHOEBE: Who? Zahn? Ah, she won't try that again, not without a potion. PIPER: But what about Richard? He can make potions. PHOEBE: Isn't he off the witch wagon, though? PIPER: I'm just saying, I wouldn't put it past her. I can't believe it's even gotten to this point. (Finished, PIPER stands in front of the potions table.) PHOEBE: It'll work itself out. It always does. PIPER: I don't know about that. I mean, we've all disagreed with each other at one point or another over the years, obviously, but this is different. PHOEBE: So maybe we should call her again and talk to her about it. PIPER: Or we can just summon Zahn and vanquish him quickly before she gets her pigheaded self killed. (At the mention of the word "pig", PHOEBE remembers.) PHOEBE: Oh, no ... "pig". PIPER: (puzzled) Hmm? PHOEBE: I'll take care of it. Don't even ask. PIPER: Ok, we give him one chance at giving up Larry's soul, and that's it. PHOEBE: Ok. (PHOEBE finishes filling the potions vial. She gives it to PIPER and they both position themselves outside the summoning circle.) PIPER: (chanting) We call upon the ancient powers; To summon one to save a soul. CUT TO: [EXT. HALLIWELL MANOR - NIGHT] (Camera holds on the MANOR'S exterior, then pulls down and travels through a fire-y tunnel passing through a wall of flames and we CUT TO: [INT. DEMONIC AUCTION HOUSE] (ZAHN slowly walks past his line of soul slaves. He stops in front of LARRY and reaches out to grab his chin.) ZAHN: You'll be first up for auction again. (ZAHN turns around to address the crowd of demon buyers.) ZAHN: All right, my fellow demons, let's start the auction, shall we? (He steps up to the auction block and turns around to look at the crowd. Orb lights appear and circle around him.) ZAHN: (mutters to himself) Oh, great. Not again. (The orb lights consume him and he disappears right before everyone's eyes.) (Camera holds on LARRY as he sighs.) CUT TO: [INT. MANOR - ATTIC - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS] (Back in the attic, the orb lights appear in the center of the summoning circle in front of PIPER and PHOEBE. ZAHN starts to form and semi-appears in front of him before another set of orb lights form around him whisking him away from them.) PHOEBE: What happened? PIPER: Where'd he go? CUT TO: [INT. MONTANA RESIDENCE - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS] (Orb lights appear in the center of the summoning circle in the middle of the study. The orb lights disappear leaving ZAHN behind. PAIGE steps up toward him.) ZAHN: (annoyed) You again. This time, it's gonna cost you. (He raises his hand threateningly at her. PAIGE waves it aside.) PAIGE: Wait. I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse. (ZAHN withdraws, interested in what she has to say.) SHORT TIME CUT TO: [INT. EMPTY DEMONIC AUCTION HOUSE -- NIGHT] (The FAUSTIAN DEAL contract is placed on ZAHN'S desk. It reads: The undersigned bereby exchanges eternal rights to bid her soul to the demon Zahn in exchange for riches unimaginable. At the time of the undersigned's death, his/her soul shall become property of Zahn to trade or sell as he sees fit. Furthermore, any party engaging in the before mentioned agreement will note that should Zahn perish permanently, souls in his possession will burn in flames for all eternity. Subject to the provisions set forth above, the agreement is legally binding and will begin immediately upon signature. Mortal Zahn (ZAHN eagerly pushes the contract in front of PAIGE.) ZAHN: I think you'll find that everything's in order. PAIGE: You don't mind if I look it over first? ZAHN: Suit yourself, but it's exactly as we discussed. You'll notice the same clause I mentioned earlier, to protect me from your sisters, of course. PAIGE: You're not gonna have to worry about them. ZAHN: Good. (He holds out his hand and a feathered pen appears. He hands it to PAIGE.) ZAHN: Just sign on the dotted line. PAIGE: First--Larry. (ZAHN levels PAIGE a look at her, then snaps his fingers. In a wall of fire and flame, LARRY'S soul appears. LARRY looks around. He sees PAIGE, ZAHN and the contract on the table.) LARRY HENDERSON: Paige, what are you doing? PAIGE: Exactly what I said I'd do: Saving you. (PAIGE turns and signs her name to the contract. LARRY tries to stop her, but her signature appears on the signature line sealed in fire.) LARRY HENDERSON: No! Paige, don't! (ZAHN stands up.) ZAHN: Have a nice afterlife. (He waves his hand and a shaft of light appears over LARRY. His soul moves on and upward. PAIGE smiles.) (Suddenly, out of nowhere, PAIGE clutches her stomach and falls to the ground dead.) PAIGE: Uhh! (Her soul rises out of her body and appears in the auction house dressed in a burlap smock.) ZAHN: You must really be a good soul to do what you've just done. (ZAHN picks up the contract and rolls it up. He steps over PAIGE'S body on the ground and walks right through PAIGE'S soul as he heads to the vault. The vault door opens and ZAHN walks into the endless room.) (PAIGE turns around and sees ZAHN place the contract in a slot on the shelf.) (He walks out of the vault and waves his hand behind him. The vault door closes. He looks at PAIGE.) ZAHN: It's been a pleasure doing business with you. (PAIGE looks down at her dead body on the ground.) FADE OUT. (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [INT. MANOR - SITTING ROOM -- NIGHT] (PIPER is carrying WYATT while she's on the phone. PHOEBE walks down the stairs and sees PIPER.) PHOEBE: Did she answer? PIPER: No. It's just her voice mail. What about scrying? (PIPER hangs up and redials.) PHOEBE: Nothing. I can't find her anywhere. (PHOEBE walks up to PIPER.) PHOEBE: You don't think Zahn, uh... PIPER: I don't know, but if he didn't, I will. What was she thinking? PHOEBE: (upward) Chris? Leo? (there's no response) Where are those guys? PIPER: Forget it. They're not answering, either. (PIPER hangs up and puts the phone down.) PHOEBE: What are we gonna do? (The doorbell rings. PHOEBE walks over to answer it. PIPER follows.) [FOYER - CONTINUOUS] (PHOEBE opens the door and finds RICHARD on the front porch.) PHOEBE: Richard. RICHARD MONTANA: Hey. PHOEBE: Hi. Have you seen Paige? RICHARD MONTANA: That's why I'm here. (PHOEBE waves him into the house.) PHOEBE: Ok, inside. Inside. (He steps into the house.) PHOEBE: Where is she? Is she all right? RICHARD MONTANA: I don't know. PIPER: What do you mean "you don't know"? What does that mean? RICHARD MONTANA: It means, uh ... (Thinking that RICHARD is another one of mom's "dates", WYATT takes the opportunity to orb his eyes. RICHARD stares at WYATT.) RICHARD MONTANA: Does he do that a lot? (PHOEBE turns to look at WYATT. PIPER looks at WYATT.) PHOEBE: Uuh! (WYATT'S busted. His eyes stop orbing.) PIPER: Wyatt? PHOEBE: What is he doing? Why is he doing that? PIPER: Apparently, he's trying to scare away all of my dates. You little runt. Did your father teach you that? PHOEBE: Ok, so not the time. PIPER: Right. (to WYATT) You're grounded. (PIPER hands WYATT over to PHOEBE.) PHOEBE: Ok, back to Paige. RICHARD MONTANA: She's with Zahn, or, rather, her soul is right about now. PHOEBE: What? RICHARD MONTANA: Yeah. It's all part of her plan. That's why I'm here, but you don't have much time. She told me to tell you to reverse the "to call a lost sister" spell. It'll take you right to her. PIPER: To do what? RICHARD MONTANA: To save her. CUT TO: [INT. DEMONIC AUCTION HOUSE -- CONTINUOUS] (Back at the Demonic Auction House, a new auction is just about to start.) ZAHN: Please, everyone. Your attention, please. (ZAHN steps up to the auction block arms spread as the crowd quiets down.) ZAHN: Tonight, I have a special treat for you, ... (the crowd gasps) ... A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase one of the most unique souls there is or ever was. (He turns around behind him.) ZAHN: A Charmed One, ladies and Demons. (PAIGE is led out and steps up to the auction block.) ZAHN: One of only three in existence, and I have one here today. Both soul ... (ZAHN turns to the table next to PAIGE.) ZAHN: ... and body ... (PAIGE'S body appears on the table.) ZAHN: ... to be auctioned off separately, of course. (PAIGE looks up at the ceiling.) PAIGE: (mutters) Hurry up. ZAHN: Shall we start the bidding at, say, ten powers? GRIMLOCK: I'll give you fifteen. ZAHN: (excited) Fifteen! DEMON (WOMAN): Twenty! ZAHN: I have twenty! DEMON (WOMAN): And another twenty for the body. ZAHN: Do I have thirty? DEMON (WOMAN): Thirty! Just for the soul. ZAHN: Any more? DEMON (MAN): Thirty-two. DEMON (WOMAN): Thirty-six! ZAHN: I have Thirty-six. DEMON (WOMAN) Forty, and I'll throw in my minions. (She motions to the two minions standing next to her.) ZAHN: And minions! (Next to ZAHN, a swirl of orb lights bring PIPER and PHOEBE to the Auction House.) DEMON (FEMALE): More Charmed Ones. GRIMLOCK: One hundred for all three. PIPER: Sold, to the dead Grimlock. (PIPER raises her hands and blasts the GRIMLOCK. The GRIMLOCK is vanquished in an explosion of fire. The crowd murmurs.) (The FEMALE DEMON standing next to the GRIMLOCK turns and looks at PHOEBE. She fires an energy ball at her, but PHOEBE is prepared for it. The energy ball reverses and heads back to the WOMAN DEMON, vanquishing her.) (The crowd of demons slowly edge away from the activity.) (ZAHN tries to make a break for it.) PIPER: Way to channel. (PIPER turns around and sees a DEMON standing just behind them.) PIPER: Hey, hey, hey! (She motions with her hand blasting him out of existence.) PAIGE: Piper, hurry! Blow up the vault! (PIPER and PHOEBE turn around. PIPER sees the vault door and blows it up. The entire vault explodes, burning the contracts inside with fire.) (PAIGE soul starts to glow gold and is immediately reinserted into her body. PAIGE sits up.) ZAHN: My contracts! (PAIGE gets off of the table and steps up to her sisters.) PAIGE: Uhh! Cut it a little close. (PIPER and PHOEBE look at her.) PIPER: What the hell is going on? PAIGE: Bitch later, vanquish now. (PIPER and PHOEBE both turn around and throw the potions at ZAHN. It hits him and he disappears, vanquished in a wall of fire and smoke.) (They both turn back to PAIGE.) PHOEBE: I love watching lawyers explode. (PAIGE smiles, satisfied that everything went according to plan. PIPER, however, is still angry.) PIPER: Now can I bitch? PAIGE: No, let me explain. I had to lure you down here. It was the only way to find the contracts. All I had to do was find them first. PIPER: But by dying? PAIGE: No. I'm not dead. See, your brain has to be dead before you can die, so I'm still alive. (PIPER and PHOEBE look at each other. PHOEBE looks at PAIGE.) PHOEBE: Ok. So where's Larry's soul? PAIGE: Larry's saved. He's moved on. PIPER: And that was worth risking your life for? PAIGE: No, I wasn't risking my life. See, I knew, no matter how pissed off you got, you'd still come and save me. We are sisters. (Unable to argue that point, PIPER and PHOEBE look at each other.) CUT TO: [EXT. SAN FRANCISCO CITY (STOCK) - EVENING TO NIGHT] [EXT. SAN FRANCISCO CITY (STOCK) - NIGHT] [EXT. P-3 - NIGHT] [INT. P-3 -- NIGHT] (STEADMAN is on stage performing. The song ends and the audience cheers.) (PHOEBE takes a seat at the bar next to PIPER.) PHOEBE: Piper, how did you have time to book Steadman in your club? Between raising my nephew and trying to date and vanquishing - PIPER: ... A sister? PHOEBE: Does that mean you're still mad at Paige? PIPER: Well, yeah, aren't you? PHOEBE: (thinking) Well, uhh ... (PHOEBE shakes her head and sighs.) PIPER: I mean, come on, she didn't just risk her own life, she risked ours as well. Not to mention the Power of Three. PHOEBE: Yeah, I know, but ... don't we kind of do that every week anyway? PIPER: No, not unilaterally, we don't. Ever. I'm not saying she has to answer to us all the time, or that she can't go find her bliss -- whatever that may be -- but not at the risk of what we do. PHOEBE: I totally agree, but still, we have to figure out a way to work it out with her, you know, let her feel like she has a voice in this whole thing, compromise. PIPER: Since when did you become Solomon all of a sudden? PHOEBE: I've surrendered to being the middle sister. PIPER: Or does it have more to do with this? (PIPER holds up the Bay Mirror. On the bottom corner there's an article with the headline: HE SAYS, SHE SAYS: ASK THEM BOTH! Under the headline are two pictures, one of SPENCER RICKS and the other of PHOEBE.) PHOEBE: Ick! Look at that pig. Eh, and I don't mean literally. At least not anymore. (She chuckles. PIPER looks down at the article. PHOEBE shifts her gaze as LEO and CHRIS walk up to join them at the bar.) PHOEBE: Hey, look who it is. Where you two been? LEO: Long story. CHRIS PERRY: We just got a little lost, that's all, and it took some time to find our way back. PHOEBE: Huh. LEO: (leans on the counter) So, uh, what did we miss? (PHOEBE gapes at them and laughs. PIPER starts to slip off of her seat.) PIPER: (to PHOEBE) You lay into them, I've got a date. PHOEBE: Yeah, A date? Really? Does he know about Wyatt? PIPER: No, and he's not gonna anytime soon. At least not till after the honeymoon. LEO: (straightens, alarmed by that statement) Whoa, wait. What did we REALLY miss? (PHOEBE gets off of her seat and drapes her arms around LEO.) PHOEBE: You know what? It's a long story. (She walks away leaving the two men at the bar. CHRIS slaps LEO on his shoulder as he walks by to sit in PHOEBE'S abandoned seat.) CHRIS PERRY: Come on. I'll buy you a drink. LEO: Whitelighters don't have any money. CHRIS PERRY: It was a gesture.
