Charmed s06e07 Episode Script

- Okay, sign there.
|- All right.
And there.
And give me your John Hancock|right there.
And you are done.
- All right.
What about the Smith case?|- Settled.
- The amendments to my living trust?|- Filed.
Did you take care|of my donation to the? Children's Foundation.
Got it.
|It's going through in the morning, and, may I say,|that is a very generous donation.
Yeah, well, it was the least I could do.
|Believe me.
I couldn't have gotten through|all this without you, Paige.
You have been a miracle worker.
Thank you.
You should have seen me|at my other temp jobs if you wanna see miracles.
This is for you.
|It's just my way of saying thank you.
- I really can't|- Just take it.
I know a good soul|when I see one.
Thank you.
So you better go.
I'm sure|your family would never forgive me - if I kept you here past midnight.
|- Okay.
Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
I wouldn't count on it.
No, no, no! Behind you, Paige! No, Paige! - Larry?|- Forget it, witch! You lost him.
- Let's try just a little bit.
It's good stuff.
|- Good morning! So how was your date? Don't ask.
You need a hand? Sure, if you want to go|get my car washed, go to the dry cleaners for me|and go to work for me too.
- That would be great!|- Sure, if you run the club for me, go to the dentist|and raise Wyatt for me.
Today, I would trade with you|in a second.
Do you remember Spencer Ricks,|that slimy advice columnist? - The one you turned into a turkey?|- Yeah, well, I should have kept him that way.
Elise just hired him away|from the competition to work with me.
- Look how handsome he looks.
|- Why would she do that? 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|- Slimy? Thank you.
I have half a mind|to call Jason and complain about it, but I don't wanna use|our relationship for leverage.
What's the use of sleeping|with your boss, then? Because I actually enjoy|sleeping with my boss.
Yeah, don't brag.
- Not getting any is making you bitter.
|- Hello.
Hi.
Excuse me.
Oh, he doesn't know|what we're talking about.
He's 10 months old.
He thinks we're|talking about milk, for God's sakes.
Phoebe, he conjured a dragon.
- I wouldn't put anything past him.
|- Good point.
Now, if he could only find a way|to keep guys from bolting every time they lay eyes on him It's not easy dating|as a single mom.
There's gotta be lots of guys|out there that like kids.
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.
You could always turn them|into a turkey.
Where you been? Paige? Paige, what happened?|What's the matter? What time is it? Eight.
Were you out all night? - Yeah, I guess I was.
|- Come here, mister.
- You hang on right there.
|- Okay.
Sit down here for a second.
Talk to us.
I lost an innocent last night.
|A demon killed him right in front of me.
- Oh, God.
|- At your temp job? Yeah.
I should have seen it coming.
Every other job,|someone's wound up needing my help.
- I just don't know why I didn't see it.
|- Well, maybe you weren't meant to.
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.
- What do you mean, he knew?|- He just did.
He was finalising his will, making donations,|tried to get me out of there.
- He knew.
|- How could he have known? I don't know,|unless maybe he wasn't so innocent.
Which is probably why|you weren't meant to save him.
No, I don't believe that.
Look, Paige,|even if he was an innocent, you can't save everybody.
|I mean, that's just the lesson we've all had to learn, unfortunately.
I know.
Paige, you can't blame yourself|for what happened.
If you were meant to save him,|you would've.
You have to believe that.
I can't.
Leo.
What are you doing here? - Get off of me!|- Are you following me again? I thought we were past|these issues.
- What is that?|- That? Nothing.
No? What the hell? Long story.
What is that, a time portal? Is that it?|What are you using it for? - I don't have to answer that.
|- Thought you said - you had nothing to hide?|- I don't have to answer that.
- Wanna bet?|- No.
- Where are we?|- How the hell should I know? That's what I was trying to tell you.
|I can't control it.
Yeah.
- So if there's anything that I can do|- Thank you.
I just can't believe that he's gone.
I know.
I'm grateful that he was not alone|when it happened.
I know that he didn't know you long,|but I'm glad you were with him.
I just wish I'd gotten there sooner.
Well, there's nothing|you could have done.
He had a heart attack.
|It was his time, I guess.
Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.
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.
|- No, it doesn't, does it? Listen, Mrs.
Henderson,|I feel weird asking you this, but was he acting|any differently before? I'm sorry, I have to go now.
But if there is anything you need,|just call me.
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
I don't mean to be taking up|all of your time.
No, wait, please.
What made you ask that? It's just some of the things that|he asked me to do for him before It's just almost as if he knew|something was gonna happen.
Actually, he knew about a lot of things|before they would happen.
In fact, sometimes I almost thought|that he was clairvoyant.
- Really?|- 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|- All of a sudden? 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? Excuse me.
|His brother's on the phone.
Excuse me.
Hi, Paige.
Richard.
Last time I saw you,|you were kind of saving my life.
How are you? As I live and breathe.
Feeble.
Where you been?|What, are you keeping bankers' hours? Turkey.
Okay, first of all,|get your feet off my desk.
And secondly, get out of my chair.
And here I thought|we were gonna be friends.
Now! All right, all right.
|Jeez, keep your panties on.
Nice.
Okay, 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|- Or else what? You know what?|Let's just pick a letter.
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.
Let me ask you a question.
Do you ever get letters from anybody|other than a bunch of whiny chicks? As you were saying? Piper.
Ryan, hi.
|Good, you got my message.
Yeah, my secretary caught me|before I left.
I thought we were gonna meet|at the restaurant.
- Yeah, sorry.
Something came up.
|- Is everything okay? Yeah, everything's fine.
It's just that my babysitter cancelled|at the last minute.
Babysitter? You have a baby? What do you think? I think he's adorable.
- You do?|- Absolutely.
- What's his name?|- Wyatt.
So you're okay with this?|You still wanna go out? What, are you kidding?|I love babies.
Although, I think we should go|to Chuck E.
Cheese now.
- You mind?|- No.
I'll just grab my purse.
Sure.
Hey.
Hey there, big fella! You wanna go with Mommy and me|to lunch, huh? Oh, my We should probably take separate cars|because of the baby seat.
Hi.
What are you doing? Well, fine.
Actually, I'm all by myself|in the house now.
My mom moved out,|Eve's family followed.
It's weird to think the only thing|holding us together was a feud.
- Makes me sorry I helped end it.
|- Don't be.
It's an amazing freedom.
You're really beating|yourself up, huh? Yeah, I guess I am.
You know, I think I was put|in Larry's life for a reason and it probably wasn't|just to watch him die.
You really believe in that stuff,|don't you? - What?|- Fate.
Destiny.
Yeah, don't you? I didn't.
Not until I met you.
With all the magical wars in my family,|if there's some kind of grand plan, it sucks.
What are you smiling at? Nothing, it's just kind of nice to talk to|someone about all this magic-y stuff.
I mean, other than my sisters,|of course.
What do they think|you should do about Larry? Basically, just let it go.
Well, if you'd have let it go with me,|I probably wouldn't be alive right now.
Still, I wouldn't even know|where to start.
Start with Larry.
Wouldn't be the first ghost|you've summoned.
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.
Straighten up! 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.
|Friends, don't let this one get away.
He's a true prize for any soul collector,|eater or trader.
So, what say we start the bidding|at two powers? - Find him!|- Yes, sir.
- Welcome back, Larry.
|- What? Okay, you've gotta send me back|before Zahn gets pissed.
Zahn.
Is that the demon that? Killed me? Yeah.
|For all intents and purposes, yes.
- Reverse the spell, come on.
|- I can't.
Not till we figure out - what's going on.
|- Paige, I'm begging you.
Larry, give it up.
|She's stubborn when she wants to be.
Trust me.
- Do I know you?|- No.
You know my family.
|You did some accounting for us.
And exactly how are you|involved with this? Just fate.
Great, fate.
|Well, you wanna 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! What, did you make|some sort of Faustian deal? Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
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 For my soul.
And last night,|payment became due in full.
So that's how|you built up your firm? Among other things.
But then, when I realised|how Zahn was making me rich off of other people's pain|and freak accidents, I tried to stop it.
|I tried to break the deal, but when I realised I couldn't,|I tried to make amends and I tried to give away everything|before it was too late.
Paige? Oh, hey, you remember Richard.
- Hi.
|- Hi.
- What's going on?|- Oh, you know, just summoning a ghost.
- Okay, okay.
|- What was I supposed to do? Just let him rot in hell|or wherever he was? That's the thing.
You don't know|where you summoned him from.
How do you know that demons in the|underworld aren't out looking for him? - All the more reason to save him.
|- Save him? He's dead.
No, he hasn't moved on yet, which means I have a chance|to save his soul before Zahn gets it.
- And who is Zahn?|- The demon he made a deal with.
No, that's not what I mean.
|What is his level, what are his powers? I don't know,|I haven't checked the Book yet.
So you have no idea|what you're up against? No.
But does it really matter? 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.
Well, if I hadn't,|Larry's soul could've been lost by now.
- He sold his soul.
It was his choice.
|- Well, so he makes a mistake in life.
Does that mean he has to pay for it|in his afterlife too? Yeah, maybe,|because actions have consequences.
We can't go around cleaning up|after everybody's mistakes.
Especially mistakes like this.
So, what, do you want me|to just send him back? I think that if you bring danger|into this house, you need to talk to us|about it beforehand.
I did, but you weren't supportive.
|Unlike Richard, who actually was.
What does Richard|have to do with this? - You barely even know him.
|- Maybe.
But he seems to get me|more than you.
Hey, listen,|thanks so much for your help, but I think maybe you better go.
- Are you sure?|- Yeah, but I'll call you later.
Okay.
And you.
Come with me.
- What? Where are we going?|- We are going to save your soul.
Come on! I don't understand.
|Why can't we orb? Prehistoric.
Magic won't be around|till there's people around to use it.
Perfect.
We'll just hang out for the next|million years or so? No problem.
More like 65 million.
|Looks like the Cretaceous Period.
Man, you are old.
I think he's gone.
He looks gone.
|Do you think he's gone? - No.
|- Neither do I.
The sooner we get back to our time,|the less we'll have to worry about it.
- Yeah, that's gonna be a problem.
|- What do you mean? I mean, you just don't create|time portals out of thin air.
It's not like that.
Well, you coming back from the future|originally seemed like exact science.
That was a spell, all right?|A one-way door.
It only goes backward in time,|not forward.
So, what, you're creating portals|to get back to the future, is that it? Why? To see if it changed, okay? To see if I stopped the demon|who was after Wyatt.
What, you still don't believe me? All I care about right now|is getting back home.
Well, all you gotta do is find the portal|that dumped us here.
Good luck.
- Watch out for the dinosaurs.
|- You'd like that, wouldn't you? Get rid of me once and for all? You were the one who sent us back|to Jurassic Park, all right? Not me.
Wouldn't be the first time|you tried to get rid of me.
Think what you want, but know this, if we don't get back,|Wyatt's screwed.
If you don't believe me, believe that.
- Have you tried calling for Leo?|- Yeah, he's not answering either.
He's probably out chasing after Chris,|and God only knows where that is.
We'll have to talk to them.
They're|never around when we need them.
Yeah, I think we need to talk|to Paige first.
Because this little power-of-one kick|of hers is getting out of control.
Yeah, but didn't we promise her|we wouldn't butt in it anymore? Yeah, but that was when|she was just helping Richard.
She wasn't yanking souls away|from angry demons.
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.
Okay.
I'll be right there.
Okay, bye.
All right, let's get this over with.
|What do you think? Whoa, whoa, whoa,|where are you going, toots? - Home, if you must know.
|- Home? Are you nuts? We got a column we gotta write.
And I have just found|the perfect letter for us to respond to.
"Dear Pheeb, I am a breast man at|heart, but the problem is, this girl I like is flat as a board.
|Should I even bother asking her out?" Now, this is a letter I can respond to.
Must have been the wrong potion.
Excuse me.
This way, please,|this way.
Inside, inside.
- Brett, hi.
|- Piper.
I didn't think you were home.
|- Oh, sorry it took me so long.
- I had to go get my baby.
|- Your baby? I actually didn't realise you were a - A mom?|- Right, that.
- Why didn't you tell me?|- Well, you know, some guys|just don't hear that very well.
Go figure, right? Well, I don't mean to be rude,|but something's come up and I can't go out right now.
So if you don't wanna reschedule,|it's perfectly understandable.
Why wouldn't I? Unless you got ten more|of those somewhere.
- No, just the one.
|- Not a problem.
Did I pass the test? With flying colours.
Paige? I better go.
You know, ordinarily I'd be upset if you summoned me, but seeing as|how you just helped me find Larry, - I'll be merciful.
|- No, don't hurt her, Zahn, please.
She didn't know.
|She was trying to help me.
Help? Really? What, you thought vanquishing me|would set him free? - Is that it?|- As a matter of fact - You were saying?|- You're a low-level demon.
- You're not supposed to have power.
|- Lady, I haven't been low-level in years.
Not since I started trading|souls for powers.
Wanna see? Paige? Piper! And just for future reference, even if you could vanquish me,|it would only make it worse for Larry.
Paragraph five,|subsection six, line three: 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.
Consider yourself repossessed.
This would all be so much easier|if someone that could heal you was actually listening! It's no big deal, I've had worse.
Still, those two need a talking-to,|I'll tell you.
I don't understand this.
Faustian deals|have been around for over a century, but there is nothing in here on how|to break them.
How is that possible? Maybe because|they can't be broken.
It can't be.
There's gotta be a way.
|I am not giving up on Larry now.
Listen, sweetie, maybe you should.
- I know you feel guilty about it|- That's not it.
It's affecting all of us now,|not just you.
- I said I was sorry.
|- That's not the point.
Listen, I just want to save his soul.
But you can't! Larry said that Zahn keeps|his contracts locked up somewhere.
So if we can find and destroy them,|then we can set all those souls free.
I don't think so.
- Why not?|- We think we should go after Zahn.
Stop him before he gets|any more powers.
What, and just|let all those souls burn? They're already lost, Paige.
|He's already got them.
I think it's important that you stop him|before he becomes unstoppable.
No! Paige, we don't like this|any more than you do, but this is where we're at.
He's my innocent.
Yeah, but this is our problem|and one we did not ask for, by the way.
No, I'm not sacrificing him.
You don't have a choice.
This is beyond your control.
|I'm sorry.
- Hey, Paige.
|- Hey, your housekeeper let me in.
- I hope you don't mind.
|- No, it's fine.
You okay? Everything all right? No.
- This looks familiar, doesn't it?|- Yeah.
Maybe we should split up,|find the portal faster.
Wait.
If one of us gets caught, the other one|needs to keep going.
For Wyatt's sake.
Oh, you believe me|about him now? No, I just wanna let you know what's|gonna happen if you get caught.
Found it! Leo! Come on, come on.
Go.
Go.
Go! - You okay?|- Yeah.
Thanks for not listening to me.
Anytime.
You boys Yankees? Get up.
- Here.
|- Thank you.
So, what are you gonna do? Well, I got a plan on how to save Larry,|but it's kind of risky.
Maybe you shouldn't|go through with it.
I mean,|maybe your sisters are right.
You're the one who told me|to follow my instincts.
I know, I just|I don't want you to get hurt.
Listen, I'm gonna need your help|to pull this off.
- Paige, if I do magic|- 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, but they can't know|about it until it's too late to stop me.
Won't they get pissed? Yeah, probably.
Guess I'm pretty stubborn, huh? Yeah.
In a good way.
Paige you have a gift.
Don't fight it.
Thank you.
Got any candles? How do we know she's not gonna|just summon him herself again? Who, Zahn? She won't try that again,|not without a potion.
What about Richard?|He can make potions.
Isn't he on the witch wagon, though? I'm just saying,|I wouldn't put it past her.
I can't believe|it's even gotten to this point.
- It'll work itself out.
It always does.
|- 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.
|- So maybe we should call her again and talk to her about it.
Or we can just summon Zahn|and vanquish him quickly before she gets|her pigheaded self killed.
Oh, no, pig.
I'll take care of it.
Don't even ask.
Okay, we give him one chance|at giving up Larry's soul and that's it.
Okay.
We call upon the ancient powers|To summon one to save his soul You will be first up for auction.
|Again.
All right, my fellow demons,|let's start the bidding, shall we? Oh, great.
Not again.
- What happened?|- Where did he go? You again.
- This time, it's gonna cost you.
|- Wait.
I'm gonna make you an offer|you can't refuse.
I think you'll find|that everything's in order.
You don't mind if I look it over first? 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.
- You won't have to worry about them.
|- Good.
- Just sign on the dotted line.
|- First Larry.
- Paige, what are you doing?|- Exactly what I said I'd do.
Saving you.
No, Paige, don't! Have a nice afterlife.
You must really be a good soul|to do what you've just done.
It's been a pleasure|doing business with you.
- Did she answer?|- It's just her voice mail.
Scrying? Nothing.
I can't find her anywhere.
You don't think Zahn? I don't know, but if he didn't, I will.
|What was she thinking? Chris! Leo! - Where are those guys?|- Forget it, they're not answering.
What are we gonna do? - Richard.
Hi.
|- Hi.
- You seen Paige?|- That's why I'm here.
Okay, inside, inside.
- Where is she? She all right?|- I don't know.
What do you mean?|What does that mean? It means Does he do that a lot? - Wyatt.
|- What is he doing? - Why is he doing that?|- Apparently, he's trying to scare away all of my dates.
You little rot|Did your father teach you that? - So not the time.
|- Right.
You're grounded.
Okay, back to Paige.
She's with Zahn,|or rather her soul is, right about now.
- What?|- Yeah, it's all part of her plan.
It's why I'm here.
|You don't have much time.
She told me to tell you to reverse|a to-call-a-lost-sister spell? - It'll take you right to her.
|- To do what? To save her.
Please, everyone!|May I have your attention, please? Tonight,|I have a special treat for you.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase one of the most|unique souls there is or ever was.
A Charmed One,|ladies and demons.
One of only three in existence.
|And I have her here tonight.
Both soul and body.
To be auctioned off separately,|of course.
Hurry up.
Shall we start the bidding at say,|ten powers? - I'll give you 15.
|- Fifteen - Twenty!|- I have 20! And another 20 for the body.
- Do I have 30?|- Thirty, just for the soul! - Any more? Thirty-two.
|- Thirty-two.
- Thirty-six.
|- I have 36! Forty! And I'll throw in my minions.
And minions! More Charmed Ones.
- One hundred for all three.
|- Sold.
To the dead grimlock.
Way to channel.
- Hey, hey, hey.
|- Piper, hurry.
Blow up the vault! My contracts! Cut it a little close.
- What the hell is going on?|- Bitch later, vanquish now! No! I love watching lawyers explode.
- Now can I bitch?|- No, let me explain.
I had to lure you down here.
It was|the only way to destroy the contracts.
- All I had to do was find them first.
|- But by dying? No, I'm not dead.
See, your brain has to be dead|before you can die, so I'm still alive.
Okay, so where's Larry's soul? Larry's saved.
He's moved on.
And that was worth|risking your life for? 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.
Thanks.
|We're just taking a short break.
Back in 20 minutes, thank you.
Piper, how did you have time to book Steadman in your club?|Between raising my nephew - and trying to date and vanquishing|- A sister? Does that mean|you're still mad at Paige? Well, yeah, aren't you? Well I mean, come on,|she didn't just risk her own life, she risked ours as well.
|Not to mention the power of three.
Yeah, I know, but don't we kind of|do that every week anyway? 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.
I totally agree, but still, we have to figure out a way|to work it out.
You know, let her feel like she has a|voice in this whole thing.
Compromise.
Since when did you become|Solomon all of a sudden? I have surrendered|to being the middle sister.
Or does it have more|to do with this? Look at that pig.
And I don't mean literally.
|At least, not anymore.
Hey, look who it is.
|Where you two been? Long story.
We got a little lost, that's all, and it|took some time to find our way back.
So, what did we miss? - You lay into them.
I have a date.
|- Hey, a date? Really? - Does he know about Wyatt?|- No.
He's not gonna any time soon.
- At least not till after the honeymoon.
|- Hey, what did we really miss? You know what? It's a long story.
Come on, I'll buy you a drink.
Whitelighters don't have any money.
It was a gesture.
- Two cold ones, Billy.
|- You got it, Leo.
It's on me.
For Larry.
May your soul|find freedom and peace.
- You okay?|- Yeah.
What about you and your sisters? Oh, we're gonna be fine.
|Just a few growing pains.
I wanted to thank you, though,|for everything you've done.
Hey, I just delivered a message.
No, I couldn't have done it|without you.
Anytime.
Lucky I ran into you.
Luck.
It was fate.
