"Ok, sign there and there and give me your John Hancock right there... and you are done." "Right." "And, uh, what about the Smith case?" "Settled." "And the amendments to my living trust?" "Filed." "Did you take care of my donation to the Children's Foundation." "Got it covered." "It's going through in the morning." "And may I say, that is a very generous donation." "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." "Thank you." "You should've seen me at my other temp jobs, if you want to see miracles..." "This is for you." "It's my way of saying thank you." "I really " "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." "Ok." "Well, I'll see you tomorrow." "I wouldn't count on it." "Behind you!" "Larry?" "Forget it, witch." "You lost him." "Let's try just a little bit." "Good morning!" "So, how was your date?" "Don't ask." "You need a hand?" "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." "Only if you can run the club, 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?" "Uh, the one you turned into a turkey?" "Yeah, well, I should've kept him that way." "Elise just hired him away from the competition to work with me." "Look at 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 want to 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." "You know, not getting any is making you bitter." "Hel- lo." "Hi." "Excuse me" "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." "Phoebe, he conjured a dragon." "I wouldn't put anything past him." "That's a good point." "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." "Come on." "There's got to 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 have you been?" "Paige!" "Paige, what happened?" "What's the matter?" "What -- what time is it?" "8:00." "Were you out all night?" "Yeah, I guess I was." "You hang on right there." "Ok, 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've seen it coming." "Every other job 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 finalizing 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 a 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 what that is?" "What are you using it for?" "I don't have to answer that." "I thought you said you had nothing to hide." " I don't have to answer that either" " Want to bet?" "Where are we?" "How the hell should I know?" "That's what I was trying to tell you I don't know how to control it" "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 very long, but I'm glad you were with him." "I just wish I'd gotten there sooner." "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?" "So, 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, ok." "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 kinda saving' my life." "How are you?" "As I live and breathe, Phoeble." "Where you been?" "What, are you keeping bankers' hours?" "Turkey." "Ok, first of all, get your feet off my desk, and, secondly, get out of my chair." "Aw, and here I thought we were gonna be friends." "Now!" "All right." "All right." "Jeez, keep your panties on." "Oh, nice." "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 - ...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 about that." "Something came up." "Is everything ok?" "Yeah." "Everything's fine." "It's just that, um...my baby- sitter canceled at the last minute." "Baby- sitter?" "You have A...baby?" "What do you think?" "I think...he's adorable." "You do?" "Absolutely." "What's his name?" "Wyatt." "Um, so, you're ok with this?" "You still want to go out?" "Oh, are you kidding?" "I love babies, although, I think, maybe we should go to Chuck E. Cheese now" "Do 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?" "Do ya...?" "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 east." "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." "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 these magical wars in my family " "I mean, if there's some kind of grand plan, it sucks." "What are you smiling at?" "Nothing." "It's just kinda nice to talk to someone about all this magicky 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." "He's a true prize for any soul collector, eater, or trader." "So what say we start the bidding at...two powers?" "Find him!" " Welcome back, Larry." " Wha-- ?" "Uh, uh...ok, you- you- you've got to send me back before Zahn gets pissed." "Zahn-- is that the demon that...?" "Killed me?" "Ah, yeah." "For all intents and purposes, yes." "Come on." "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?" "Ah...no." "You know my family." "You did some accounting for us." "Ok, and exactly how are you involved with this?" "Just, uh..." "Fate." "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 notgonna 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, um...... for my soul...and, uh, last night payment came due in full." "So that's how you built up your firm?" "Well, among other things." "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." "Paige?" "Oh, hey, you, um, remember Richard." "What's going on?" "Oh, you know, just, uh...summoning a ghost." "What was I supposed to do, just let him rot in hell or wherever he was?" "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?" "Yeah, but that's 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's 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 have been lost by now." "He sold his soul." "It was his choice." "Yeah, well, so he makes a mistake in life." "Does that mean that he has to pay for it in his afterlife, too?" "Yeah, maybe, because actions have consequences, and 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 exactly supportive, unlike Richard, who actually was." "Well, 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." "Ok." "What?" "Why?" "Where are we goin'?" "We are going to save your soul." "C'mon!" "I don't understand." "Why can't we orb?" "Prehistoric:" "Magic won't be around until there's people around to use it." "Perfect." "So 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." "Well, the sooner we can get back to our time, the less we'll have to worry about." "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 an exact science." "That was a spell, all right?" "A one- way door." "It only goes backward in time, not forward." "So what?" "You're just creating portals to, try and get back to your future, is that it?" "Why?" "To see if it changed, ok?" "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 ya, 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 find a way 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." "You're gonna have to talk to those guys." "They're never around when we need them anymore." "Yeah." "I think we need to talk to Paige first because this little power- of- one kick of hers is getting out of control." "Except, didn't we promise we wouldn't butt- in 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." "Ok." "I'll be right there." "Ok." "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'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.... ...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." "Brett, hi." "Piper, I didn't think you were, uh..." "Oh, sorry it took me so long." "I had to go get my baby." "Your baby." "Uh, I actually didn't realize you were, uh a mom?" "Right." "That." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Well, you know, some guys just don't hear that very well." "Um, go figure, right?" "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." "Why wouldn't I?" "Unless you've got ten more of those somewhere." "No." "Um, just the one." "Not a problem." "Did I pass the test?" "With flying colors." "I, uh, I'd better go." "You know, ordinarily, I'd be upset if you summoned me, but seeing as you just helped me find Larry, I'll be merciful." "Now, don't hurt her, Zahn, please." "She didn't know." "She was just trying to help me." "Oh, really?" "What, you thought vanquishing me would set him free, is that it?" "As a matter of fact-- uhh!" "You were saying?" "You're a low- level demon." "You're not supposed to have that power." "Lady, I haven't been low- level in years, not since I started trading souls for powers." "Wanna see?" "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." "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 tell ya." "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?" "Maybe'cause they can't be broken." "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 what happened " "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 them 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." "Look, Paige, we don't like this any more than you do, but this is where we're at." "But 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." "Hiya, Paige." "Hey, your housekeeper let me in." "I hope you don't mind." "No, it's fine." "Are you ok?" "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 want to let you know what's gonna happen if you get caught." "Found it!" "Are you ok?" "Yeah." "Thanks for not listening to me." "Anytime." "You boys Yankees?" "Here." "Thank you." "So, uh, what are you gonna do?" "Well, I got a plan on how to save Larry, but it's kinda risky." "Maybe you shouldn't go through with it." "I mean, uh, maybe your sisters are right." "You're the one who told me to follow my gut instincts." "I know." "I just, uh..." "I don't want you to get hurt." "Listen, I'm gonna need your help to pull this off." "Paige, uh...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, too, 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?" "Ah, she won't try that again, not without a potion." "But what about Richard?" "He can make potions." "Isn't he off 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." "Ok, we give him one chance at giving up Larry's soul, and that's it." "Ok." "We call upon the ancient powers;" "To summon one to save a soul." "You'll be first up for auction again." "All right, my fellow demons, let's start the auction, shall we?" "Oh, great." "Not again." "What happened?" "Where'd 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're not gonna 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?" "No." "It's just her voice mail." "What about scrying?" "Nothing." "I can't find her anywhere." "You don't think Zahn, uh..." "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, either." "What are we gonna do?" "Richard." "Hey." "Hi." "Have you seen Paige?" "That's why I'm here." "Ok, inside." "Inside." "Where is she?" "Is she all right?" "I don't know." "What do you mean "you don't know"?" "What does that mean?" "It means, uh..." "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 runt." "Did your father teach you that?" "Ok, so not the time." "Right." "You're grounded." "Ok, back to Paige." "She's with Zahn, or, rather, her soul is right about now." "What?" "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."" "To do what?" "To save her." "Please, everyone." "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 one here today." "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 fifteen." "Fifteen!" "Twenty!" "I have twenty!" "And another twenty for the body." "Do I have thirty?" "Thirty!" "Just for the soul." "Any more?" "Thirty- two." "Thirty- six!" "I have Thirty- six." "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!" "Uhh!" "Cut it a little close." "What the hell is going on?" "Bitch later, vanquish now." "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 find 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." "Ok." "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." "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, uhh..." "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 with her, 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've surrendered to being the middle sister." "Or does it have more to do with this?" "Ick!" "Look at that pig." "Eh, and I don't mean literally." "At least not anymore." "Hey, look who it is." "Where you two been?" "Long story." "We just got a little lost, that's all, and it took some time to find our way back." "So, uh, what did we miss?" "You lay into them, I've got a date." "Yeah, A date?" "Really?" "Does he know about Wyatt?" "No, and he's not gonna anytime soon." "At least not till after the honeymoon." "Whoa, wait." "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 ok?" "Yeah." "What about you and your sisters?" "Oh, we're gonna be fine." "Just a few growing pains." "I wanted to thank you for, uh, 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." "Synchro:" "Greatouille"
