Disclaimer: Don't own Charmed, okay? Okay!
A/n: Okay, I know it was my turn to write the chapter, but I've had a lot of stuff going on, so I could work on this one. So I asked Princess for help and she agreed. So this one and the next one are hers. Thanx too:
El Chacal: Oops. I'll see if I can change that. And, um, that episode is in the 3rd season!
Wyatt333: Yah, I'm trying to perfect it, cuz some of the emails come back to me. And it was all Princess's idea to give Paige a rebound guy. I also asked her, and we said we would work on the telekinetic-orbing and see if we could work it out.
Scene: Near the park. Piper's car has broken down and she's talking to Paige on her phone.
Piper: Of course I know what a jack is, Paige. I just don't know how to use it. It's not like I've ever got a flat tire before. I mean, this doesn't happen to me everyday.
Cut to Paige.
Paige: Piper, relax. I used to date a mechanic. I will walk you through it. Okay, you put the jack under the jeep and then you put the handle in the base and ratchet it up and down. Okay, it's very easy.
Cut to Piper.
Piper: Handle… I don't think I've got a handle. Wait, there's a long wooden spoon in the back.
Cut to Paige and Prue. They're in Quake.
Paige: That's not gonna work. (to Prue) She's looking for a long wooden spoon.
Cut back to Piper. She finds the spoon.
Piper: Okay, okay. (She sticks it in the jack and the spoon breaks.) Oh! It didn't work.
Cut to Paige.
Paige: Okay, stay there and we'll come get you.
Cut to Piper.
Piper: No, I can do it, I can figure it out.
Cut to Paige.
Paige: Piper, you're stranded and you're all alone and the only thing you have to protect yourself with is a wooden spoon that's broken.
Cut to Piper.
Piper: And I have the power to freeze. I'm fine, it's better that mace.
Cut to Paige.
Paige: I could orb to you.
Cut to Piper.
Piper: Look, we don't want you potentially exposing your powers. Okay, I gotta go before my battery dies. I gotta call the auto club. I'll meet you there in a little bit.
Cut to Paige.
Paige: Piper, wait. (Piper hangs up.) Hello? (to Prue) She is out of her mind.
Prue: Alright, we'll give her fifteen minutes, then call back.
Paige: Okay.
Prue: Okay.
Cut back to Piper. She's calling the auto club.
Operator's Voice: Directory assistance. What city please?
Piper: San Francisco. Auto club please.
(Something is lurking in the bushes.)
Cut back to Prue and Paige. Phoebe walks up.
Phoebe: Now, back to what we were talking about. What do you think?
Prue: Well, I think it's a good idea.
Phoebe: Great.
Prue: And I thing it's a bad idea.
Phoebe: How? How's it a bad idea? You need extra help for the auction and I need a job.
Prue: Well, not only are we family but we live together and I don't think that my wardrobe can take the assault of your daily needs.
Phoebe: Okay, I'm great with phones, better with people and very computer friendly and with a pay check, I could purchase new clothes. So by hiring me, you'd actually be expanding your wardrobe not decreasing it. And I'd be eternally grateful.
Paige: You really wanna work at Bucklands?
Phoebe: When opportunity knocks, I answer the door.
Prue: The job is very demanding. Auctions can be stressful.
Phoebe: I love a challenge.
(Paige shrugs.)
Paige: Well, being you is a challenge, in and of itself. (Phoebe playfully slaps her sister's shoulder.) Ow! Sheesh, I'm just being the honest woman that Grams raised me to be. (Phoebe raises her eyebrow.) Anyway, back to Prue. (She waves her hand.)
Prue: Right. Pheebs, they're pretty long hours.
Phoebe: Overtime is my friend. Ooh, plus, I just thought of something else. With my premonitions, I might just be able to get you the straight dope without a trip to the office water cooler.
Prue: Don't push it.
Phoebe: Right. So, what do you think?
(Prue and Paige exchange looks, then Prue turns back to Phoebe.)
Prue: Can you start tomorrow?
Phoebe: Yes. Hey, can you give me a ride?
Cut back to Piper. Her phone is crackling.
Piper: Hello? Oh, great. (She looks around and sees a phone box.) No problem. For I bear the power of one. (She starts walking over to the phone. She hears some twigs break. She stops and looks around. She continues walking and hears leaves crunching. She stops again and looks around. She then sees a large, hairy creature in the bushes and she runs into the phone box. She starts dialing the phone. The creature starts hitting the phone box and Piper starts screaming. It knocks over the box and then she lays there waiting for something to happen and all of a sudden it puts its hand through the glass and scratches her on the arm. A guy with a flare gun appears and shoots it at the creature. It gets scared and runs back into the bushes. The guy runs over to Piper.)
Guy: Everything's gonna be okay.
Scene: The hospital. Prue, Paige, and Phoebe walk up to reception.
Paige: Piper Halliwell?
(Andy's there.)
Andy: Prue, Phoebe, Paige.
Prue: Andy, thanks for calling us.
Andy: Hey, she's like my sister too. She's in here. (They walk in a room. A doctor is putting a bandage on her arm.)
Piper: Oh my God, that's a lot of blood!
Prue: Hey, sweetie.
Paige: Oh my God!
Phoebe: Are you okay?
Piper: Yeah, I'm fine. (to the doctor.) If I pass out and I need a transfusion, I'm AB negative. It's very rare, it could be a problem.
Andy: Try not to look at it. Just so you know, I'm AB negative too. Must have looked for the perfect donor.
Prue: Um, so no stitches?
Doctor: No. It's not that deep.
Piper: Ow.
Doctor: Follow up with your doctor in the morning though. Keep it dry, a little aspirin for the pain, you'll be fine.
Piper: Easy for you to say.
Doctor: You're all set. Just sign this.
Prue: Oh, I got it. (Prue takes the forms.)
Paige: Come here, baby. (Everyone leaves the room. Paige puts her arm around Piper and they walk out the room too.) I don't understand, why didn't you just freeze him?
Piper: I was trapped in a phone booth. My power doesn't work outside the room I'm in, remember?
Paige: Oh, right.
(Piper sees the guy that had the flare gun there.)
Piper: Oh my God, Billy!
Billy: How are you?
Piper: Billy. This is Billy. He saved my life.
Billy: Yeah, I'm just glad I got there in time.
Andy: Yeah, I'd like to talk to you about that. Along with that flare gun you just happened to show up with.
(Billy gets out a cigarette and goes to light it.)
Prue: Oh! Oh! (She blows out the lighter.) I don't think that you can smoke in here.
Billy: Oh, right. Look, it's no coincidence, I was there Inspector. I heard about the murder last night. The creature…
Andy: The creature?
Billy: That's right.
Piper: Creature absolutely.
(Agent Fallon walks in.)
Agent Fallon: Describe it. Billy, what are you doing here?
Billy: Same thing you are. Hunting that thing.
Andy: Piper, Paige, Prue, Phoebe Halliwell; Special Agent Fallon of the FBI.
Phoebe: FBI. Cool.
Piper: Describe it? Oh, okay, big, scary, strong. Kind of like a cross between a werewolf and Charles Manson.
Agent Fallon: Yellow eyes?
Piper: Yes.
Agent Fallon: Talon-like hands?
Piper: Uh huh.
Agent Fallon: Can I talk to you, Inspector? (Andy nods. They walk away from them.) Miss Halliwell is the first one to survive and attack.
Andy: One like that poor guy we found last night with his heart ripped out of his chest.
Agent Fallon: Just like the killings in Chicago, New Orleans.
Andy: Yeah, I've sent for the Coroner's reports.
Agent Fallon: Why? I think it's pretty obvious this case is out of your league, Inspector. On the bright side, you don't want it.
Andy: Why is that?
Agent Fallon: This witness collaborates with every other statement. According to their descriptions, this...thing is not animal or human. You didn't blink, I was expecting a response.
Andy: Just tell me what I'm looking for.
Agent Fallon: You believe them? That it's not human?
Andy: Let's just say that recent experiences have taught me to keep an open mind.
Cut back to Piper, Paige, Prue, Phoebe, and Billy.
Phoebe: Hmm, cozy aren't they?
Prue: Billy, how did you know to use a flare gun?
Billy: It's afraid of fire.
Prue: How'd you figure that out?
Billy: When it attacked us, me and my fiancée, Laura, we were camping at Lake Michigan and I grabbed a log from the fire, it freaked and took off. But, um, not before it ripped Laura's heart out. It might as well taken mine too. I came here to kill it.
Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Piper's sitting at the table looking through the Book Of Shadows. Prue's there as well.
Piper: If that thing last night wasn't demonic, I don't know what is.
Prue: It's not your fight, Piper. Just let Andy and that FBI agent handle it, okay.
Piper: Can't. That thing tried to kill me. Besides, I was meant to be involved in this, I know that. It's no coincidence I got that flat.
(Oatmeal boils on the stove and Prue uses her power to turn the knob and it stops boiling. She walks over to it and puts some in a bowl. Phoebe walks in wearing a suit. She clears her throat.)
Piper: Nice outfit.
Prue: Very corporate.
Phoebe: Yeah, well, I have to impress my new boss. Hey, how's the arm?
Piper: Itches.
Prue: Piper, you have got to the doctor. It could be infected.
Piper: It's not. It's fine.
(Paige walks in, as she's trying to pull her hair into a pony tail. Phoebe wags her finger.)
Phoebe: Your hair looks better down.
Paige: Not when I get to look after three-year-old twins.
Phoebe: Huh?
Paige: Egh.. (She finally gets her hair pulled back and walks over to the stove to get some oatmeal.) I get the liberty of watching a pair of twins, while my boss gets the easy job in the courtroom, today.
Phoebe: Isn't there a place for them?
Paige: Their mom's babysitter canceled at the last minute and I mean, veeeeeery last minute.
Phoebe: Oooh.
Prue: Here. (She puts the bowl on the table.)
Paige: Morning, Pipe.
Piper: A huh.
Paige: How's it going?
Piper: I wish I had longer nails.
Paige: Ah ah! Don't scratch! Remember what the doctor told me when I was ten and I broke my wrist and had to get a cast?
(Piper smirks.)
Piper: Yeah, the whole falling off the jungle gym thing...That was something only you could do. (Paige glares.) Too bad you couldn't orb then.
Paige: Yeah, really.
Prue: Listen you, while we're at work…
Phoebe: Whoa, head rush!
(Paige gives Phoebe a 'let Prue finish' look, while she pours brown sugar in her oatmeal.)
Prue: Like I was saying, while we're at work, don't even think about going after that thing alone!
Paige: Wait, there's no reason to go after it at all. The only innocent to protect here is Piper.
Piper: I thought I was gonna die last night. I was totally helpless and all I could think about is I was never gonna see you guys again. And then suddenly out of nowhere comes Billy. Saved me. Protected me. That thing took away the person he loved and he's out there all alone trying to kill it. I can't just do nothing.
Prue: Just don't do anything unless we're together okay. Promise?
Piper: Okay.
Prue: (to Phoebe) I'll meet you outside.
Phoebe: I'll be right there. (Prue leaves.) Okay, I'm freaking, I'm freaking.
Paige: Why are you freaking?
Phoebe: Because I convinced Prue to hire me and what if I disappoint her or what if I screw up and make her look bad. There's a reason my resume is only three sentences long.
Piper: Stop. You're one of the smartest people I know. I'm sure you'll do great.Phoebe: You really mean that?
Piper: Yes I do.
(Paige pats her sister on the shoulder.)
Paige: You'll do great, Pheebs.
Phoebe: That makes me feel so much better. Thank you. (Phoebe leaves.)
Paige: Well, I'm off too. (She puts an empty bowl in the sink.) Take it easy, sis. And remember, no demon hunting!
Piper: Yeah. Bye, Paige.
Paige: Bye. (She leaves and Piper finds a page in the Book Of Shadows about the creature. It's called a Wendigo.)
Piper: Whoa.
Scene: Bucklands. Phoebe and Prue are in the store room looking at some auction items. Phoebe's holding a clip board.
Phoebe: Lot number one-hundred-two. Estimated value twenty-five-thousand dollars. What, it doesn't need light bulbs?
Prue: It's a Stickley, an original.
Phoebe: Oh, right, a Stickley. I still can't believe none of stuff belongs to anyone.
Prue: Yeah, will, every year the city auctions off unclaimed probate items, asset seizures for revenue.
Phoebe: What about the stuff that doesn't sell?
Prue: It gets tossed. Um, what is Lot one-hundred-three?
Phoebe: One-hundred-three, a gold bracelet. Estimated value three-hundred-seventy-five dollars. I will take that, if no one wants it.
Prue: No, but it's inscribed with the initials "T" and "L". Alright, that finishes the first grouping. I'm gonna go upstairs to Appraisals and make sure I didn't forget anything. Meet you back at my office?
Phoebe: Your made morning coffee will be ready and waiting. I think this is really gonna work with you and me.
Prue: Me too. (Prue walks towards the door. Phoebe picks up the gold bracelet and has a premonition of a car driving off a cliff. The bracelet falls out of the car.)
Phoebe: Prue.
Prue: Yeah?
Phoebe: I just had a vision. Of the past. It was a terrible car accident and this bracelet…
Prue: What about it?
Phoebe: It was thrown free. Oh, man, I bet I'm supposed to figure out who it belongs to.
Prue: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, not now.
Phoebe: I can't help it.
(Claire enters.)
Claire: Prue, just want to make sure everything's in order for today's auction.
Phoebe: Wait, the auction is today?
Prue: Yes, Claire, everything is in order.
Claire: Terrific. I'll see you later then. (She sees the bracelet.) Ooh. Ooh, nice. That should sell quickly. (She leaves.)
Phoebe: What are we gonna do?
Scene: Quake. Piper and Billy are there.
Billy: It's called a what?
Piper: A Wendigo. Apparently it looks like a normal person during the day but then it transforms at night. It survives on human hearts.
Billy: What?
Piper: According to my information, the first Wendigo was a mortal who betrayed by his lover, cut out her heart and ate it. As soon as he did, his own heart turned to ice and that's how he became this monster.
Billy: So, what, it like…it takes love from others. Is that it? Or…then why did it go after you? Are you in love?
Piper: No. Unfortunately, no. It must be attracted to something else.
Billy: Like maybe beauty? (Piper gets embarrassed.) I'm sorry. It's just you remind me a lot about my fiancée.
Piper: Um, anyway, from what I gather, it strikes during the three phases of the full moon. Which means it may try again tonight.
Billy: That's what it did before, Amazing. You know I've been tracking this thing for two months and in one night you're a PHD in Wendigo.
Piper: Well, I've read more about it. Um, I should call Andy, I mean Inspector Truedeau and tell him this.
Billy: No, Agent Fallon's better. She's been so great to me ever since Laura… And she's already a believer. I'll tell her, okay.
(Piper stands up.)
Piper: Whoa. Dizzy.
Billy: You okay?
Piper: Must have stood up too fast. Will you call me after you see her please?
Billy: Sure.
Piper: I can help, Billy. I can't tell you exactly how or why, but I just want you to know I can. You're not in this alone.
Billy: I know. (He leaves. The phone rings. Piper answers it.)
Piper: (into the phone) Quake.
Cut to Andy.
Andy: Piper, it's Andy. Just checking in to see how you're doing.
Cut to Piper.
Piper: Oh, Andy, that's sweet. Um, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired.
Cut to Andy.
Andy: Yeah, well, you should be at home relaxing.
Cut to Piper.
Piper: I'm okay. Listen, Billy Waters just left. He's on his way to the Federal Building to see Agent Fallon. He has a theory on the attacks.
Cut to Andy.
Andy: I'll let her know. Rest up okay and stay out of dark, scary places for a while will ya.
Cut to Piper.
Piper: Okay.
Cut to the Police Station. Agent Fallon is sitting at a desk behind Andy. Andy turns around.
Andy: Take care. (They hang up.) Billy's on his way over to your office. Apparently he has some information on the attacks.
Agent Fallon: Really? I guess I better go. You seem pretty familiar with the witness.
Andy: Piper? Yeah, I dated her sister.
Agent Fallon: Dated? Past tense?
Andy: It's a long story. Why?
Agent Fallon: Just curious. Wouldn't want a love sick cop on my hands. Especially if that's what the creature was after.
Andy: What makes you think it is?
Agent Fallon: You got a better explanation of why it rips the heart out of its victims?
Andy: Maybe. I've just gone over the coroner's report from Chicago, New Orleans. It turns out all the victims were AB negative.
Agent Fallon: Chosen by blood type? That's a new one.
Andy: And plus they're all killed in threes. The night before, the night after and the night of the full moon. Piper would have been the second.
Agent Fallon: Well, if you're right, that means the creature will try again tonight.
Andy: I'm not all together convinced that it's quote on quote creature. The blood types, the full moon, the stolen hearts. It feels like ritual. And ritual is human. It could be just one sick mind behind these crimes.
Agent Fallon: Maybe we'll have a chance to confirm your theory tonight. You and me stake out at the park. Interested?
Andy: I'll bring my flare gun.
Scene: South Bay Social Services. Paige's cubical. Paige has the phone to her ear and her hands on the keyboard.
Paige"Coast highway, sixty-five Lincolin." (She types them into the computer, clicks a few things, then smiles.) Found out who owns the car.
Cut to Phoebe.
Phoebe: Oooh! Paigey, you're the best! I love you!
Cut to Paige.
Paige: I know. (She looks at her watch.) Hurry and get that pen and paper, because I've got to go in about five minutes.)
Cut to Phoebe.
Phoebe: Thank you so much! (She grabs and pen and notepad from the desk.) Okay, shoot...
Scene: Outside the Federal Building. Billy's there.
Agent Fallon: Billy. Looking for me?
Billy: Yeah, listed, I think I know what that creature is.
Agent Fallon: Really?
Billy: Yeah, well, Piper was telling me about it. It's called a Wendigo and it feeds off…
Agent Fallon: Whoa, hold on. Not here. The other agents already think I'm a little weird. Why don't I walk you to your car and we'll talk on the way. (They walk in the car park.)
Billy: It's like this Wendigo and it attacks people in love. Or at least people with good hearts. It's sort of like and anti-cupid.
Agent Fallon: How does it know that about its victims?
Billy: I don't know. Instinct? Maybe it just senses something. Look, I know it can take on human form. Maybe it stalks them first. Anyway, I know it's gonna attack tonight. I know it. Probably in the same park, just like the other cities.
Agent Fallon: Interesting.
(Billy gets a cigarette and lighter out of his pocket.)
Billy: Yeah, well, we gotta get there, stake it out, we wait for it to show up so then we can…(He flicks the lighter on and Agent Fallon cowers.) kill it. Son of a bitch. (She grabs his head and breaks his neck. He falls to the ground.)
Scene: Bucklands. In the hallway. Phoebe walks up to Prue.
Phoebe: Prue, check it out. I found out who's car went off the cliff. Franklin Bates. He worked for a big P.I. firm in San Jose.
Prue: How did you do that?
Phoebe: Easy. I recognized the road. Coast highway by Carmel. I also recognized the car. Sixty-five Lincoln. My first boyfriend, Jimmy, used to drive one just like it, remember. Anyway, so, I called Paige and had her look up those things. You know, being the sister of someone who works for Social Services, does have perks. She has such a wide database to search on and...
Prue: Phoebe, you're trailing.
Phoebe: Right, sorry. So, she was able to get me get me the month and year.
Prue: Go on.
Phoebe: February, nineteen-eighty-nine. Um, I got so caught up with Paige and making notes and I sort of forgot to tell you that Claire was looking for you.
Prue: Phoebe!
Phoebe: I'm sorry. But here's the best part. I called the P.I. firm he worked for, lied to them, told them I was Andy's partner and they told me what the initials on the bracelet stand for. (They walk in Prue's office.) The "T" is for Teri, the "L" is for Lane.
Prue: Should I know the name?
Phoebe: Teri Lane was a five year old girl kidnapped by her father. It was the case the detective was working on when he died.
Prue: So…
Phoebe: So, I think that bracelet is proof that he found her and I think the mother never got it, because he died which means she never found her daughter. We can't sell that bracelet, Prue. Not until we know for sure.
Prue: So, how am I supposed to explain this to Claire? What, psychic providence?
(Claire enters.)
Claire: Psychic what?
Prue: Claire, hi.
Claire: I have been looking all over for this bracelet. What's it doing up here? (Claire takes it off Prue.)
Prue: Um, I had it cleaned.
Claire: Fine. I'll return it downstairs. I've already got two buyers interested. (She leaves.)
Phoebe: We can not let her sell that bracelet, Prue.
Scene: Quake. Piper's standing near the bar, rubbing an ice cold drink on her forehead.
Woman: Piper?
(Piper walks over to a man.)
Man: Are you the manager?
Piper: Yes.
Man: Lawrence Beck. Health Department. This is a code inspection. I would like to start with the kitchen. (They walk in the kitchen.)
Piper: The counters are scrubbed every fifteen minutes, the dishes are washed one-hundred-fifty degrees Fahrenheit with anti-bacterial dertergent.
Lawrence: Are you ill?
Piper: Uh, no, no. I just, um, I don't know. Fell free to look around, we have nothing to hide here at Quake.
Lawrence: Thanks.
(Piper walks over to the fridge and sticks her head in it. She gets some frozen meat and rests it on her forehead. Lawrence sees her.)
Lawrence: Excuse me, what are you doing with that meat?
Piper: Dying. (She gets out of the fridge.) Oh, uh, right. Chop that. (She hands it to a cook.)
Lawrence: You're obviously sick. I think you'd better go home, Miss, before I shut this restaurant down.
Scene: The car park. Police are there where Billy was killed.
Agent Fallon: Andy.
Andy: What happened?
Agent Fallon: I don't know. I came here to meet him and found him there.
Andy: How'd he die?
Agent Fallon: Coroner hasn't said, but it's definitely homicide. Although there's no mutilation, no other physical wounds. Doesn't fit our M.O. I suppose it could be random.
Andy: Chases off a crazed killer last night and succumbs to a mugging today? I don't buy it.
Agent Fallon: Maybe the creature, or whatever it is, found out Billy had some information on it. Got to him before he could get to me.
Andy: Yeah, he had been stalking it two months. It could be the killer who knew.
Agent Fallon: Still, if these are ritual murders as you suggest, all the steps have to be followed or the killer doesn't get his happy feeling. So why is the heart still intact?
Andy: Two possibilities. He's not AB negative or it was trying to protect himself from being found out.
Agent Fallon: I'd go with that theory, personally.
Andy: Me too. Let's go talk to Piper. See if he told her what he wanted to tell you.
Agent Fallon: You read my mind, Inspector.
Scene: Bucklands. The auction has started.
Auctioneer: And I have four-hundred dollars. Now five-hundred. Five-hundred, five-hundred-fifty, six-hundred. Six-hundred-fifty, at six-hundred-fifty. Seven-hundred now. Seven-hundred-fifty. Now say eight-hundred. Eight-hundred, gentleman's bid at eight-hundred. Any more at eight-hundred-fifty. Sold eight-hundred. Number one-hundred-fourty-three for the caristan rug. And the next item is lot one-hundred-two. A Stickley lamp and bidding will start at two-thousand dollars. Now say twenty-one-hundred, twenty-three-hundred, twenty-four-hundred, twenty-seven-hundred...
(Phoebe walks up to Prue.)
Prue: Where have you been? The auction's already started.
Phoebe: I think I found the little girl, Teri Lane. I think she's living in Oakland.
Auctioneer: Sold sold for twenty-nine-hundred dollars!
Phoebe: I contacted the detectives old secretary. She helped me piece it together. She also told me that it was the little girl's mother who hired him, because the father had abducted Teri.
Auctioneer: And next is lot one-hundred-three, a gold charm bracelet and bidding will begin at three-hundred-seventy-five.
Phoebe: You've got to do something. That bracelet might be the only way to convince the mother we know where the little girl is.
Prue: What am I supposed to do?
(Phoebe squints her eyes to tell Prue to use her power.)
Auctioneer: Three-hundred-seventy-five. Anyone at three-hundred-seventy-five? (A lady goes to hold up her number but Prue uses her power and it flies out of her hand.) Three-hundred-seventy-five. Anyone at three-hundred-seventy-five? (Every time someone holds up their number Prue uses her power to knock it out of their hand.) At three-hundred-seventy-five. Anyone at three-hundred-seventy-five?
Phoebe: You go girl.
Auctioneer: Very well. Three-hundred then. Anyone at three-hundred? Three-hundred then. Last call at three-hundred. Anyone at three-hundred? Very well. We'll move on to lot one-hundred-four. The pewter dragon.
Phoebe: Thank you, thank you!
Prue: You just better be right.
Scene: Manor. The doorbell rings. Piper answers it.
Piper: Hi Andy.
Andy: Hi.
Piper: What are you doing here?
Andy: Just wanted to see how you're doing.
Piper: I feel great.
Andy: Where's your bandage? How'd your wound heal?
(All of a sudden, Piper turns into a Wendigo and grabs Andy. Piper then wakes up. She's on the couch in the living room. She's sweating and she looks real sick. The doorbell rings. She walks into the foyer.)
Piper: Who is it?
Andy: It's Andy.
Piper: Andy. Go away.
Andy: Sorry?
(She opens the door a little bit.)
Piper: Go away. I've got the flu.
Andy: It's okay, I had a flu shot. I gotta talk to you. It's about Billy. He's been killed.
Piper: What? (She opens the door.) That's not possible, he should have been saved. It's not even night.
Andy: It might not have been whoever attacked you.
Piper: Who else could've it been?
(Agent Fallon arrives.)
Agent Fallon: Sorry, had to make a call. Are you okay?
Piper: No, I don't feel so well.Andy: Maybe we should come back later.
Agent Fallon: Just a few questions. We were wondering if you knew what exactly Billy was coming to tell me.
Piper: Just that the creature is called a Wendigo and that it attacks during the full moon.
Andy: Yeah, we know that.
Piper: He also said that it looks like a normal person during the day.
Agent Fallon: Really? That's new. Did he have any idea who it might be?
Piper: No, I don't think so.
Agent Fallon: Too bad. How's the arm?
Piper: It's fine. Well, it hurts like hell.
Agent Fallon: May I? (She looks at it.) You're the only one to survive the attacks. Hope you didn't get infected by it. If you think of anything, anything at all, call me directly. (She hands Piper her card and leaves.)
Andy: Try and get some sleep.
Piper: I will.
(He leaves and she closes the door. She starts shaking. She takes the bandage off her arm and her arm is all hairy. She starts crying.)
Scene: Court House. Paige is standing there with two 3-year-olds; a boy and a girl. The girl has her arms crossed, pouty, while the boy is crying as he reaches for the double doors that lead into the court room. Paige scoops the boy into her arms.
Paige: Shhh...Sweetie, your mommy is gonna be right out. (She glances at the clock.) Any minute now...Any minute. (The boy wails.) It's okay...Shhh...
Girl: I want my mommy!
Paige: She'll be out soon.
Girl: Now!
Paige: I'm so... (The little girl runs around Paige, heading right for the double doors. Paige grabs at her, but misses.) Oh no you don't! (Paige orbs in front of the little girl, stopping her from going inside.) That's not nice.
(The little girl's mouth drops open, dumbfounded. Paige gently takes her hand.)
Girl: H-how d-d-do you d-do dat?
Paige: It's a gift. (She glances over at the sevruity camera.) If you promise to be good, I'll let you do that with me.
Girl: Weally?
Paige: Mhmm.
Girl: Okay!
Paige: Are you gonna be good? (The girl nods.) Okay, come on. (She orbs them out.)
Scene: Harriet Lane's apartment. Her doorbell rings and she answers it.
Phoebe: Are you Harriet Lane?
Harriet: Who are you?
Phoebe: Oh, we've never met. I work in an auction house. Actually I just started today. My sister got me the job. Uh, well, wondering if you might recognize this.
(Phoebe holds up the bracelet.)
Harriet: I've never seen it before.
Phoebe: Are you sure? (Harriet goes to close the door but Phoebe stops her.) Uh, hi. I don't mean to intrude and I know that this must be hard for you but I know that you recognize this bracelet. It was your daughter's wasn't it?
Harriet: Why are you asking me all these questions? Why are you doing this to me?
Phoebe: Your daughter, what's her name?
Harriet: Teri. Teri Lane. Do you know where she is? (Phoebe takes Harriet out in the hallway and Prue is standing there with Teri.) Teri? Oh my goodness. Teri, Teri?
Teri: Momma.
Harriet: My baby. (They hug.) I never thought I'd see you again.
Teri: It's okay, I'm home now.
Harriet: Let me look at you.
Prue: (to Phoebe) I guess that bracelet was worth more than I thought it was.
Phoebe: Are you kidding? It's priceless. Thank God for my powers.
Prue: It wasn't just your powers that did that, Pheebs. (Prue's phone rings.) Hello? Piper, you sound terrible. What's wrong?
Scene: Manor. Attic. Paige orbs in with the twins.
Girl: Dis is sooo cool!
(Paige flips through the pages of the Book.)
Paige: No, no, no, no...Oh"To Erase Images". (She quickly memorizes the spell.) Hey, we gotta go.(The girl frowns.) You get to sparkle again.
Girl: Okay. (She takes Paige's hand and Paige orbs them away.)
Scene: Court House. Ladies' restroom. Paige orbs in with the twins, then she walks them out. She glances at the video camera.
Paige"Images that you've seen, far and few between, within this sacred place, I command you to erase." (The cameras in the courtroom glow, erasing the magical images of Paige orbing and saying the spell, then they return to normal. She sets the boy down and bends down to the little girl's eye level.) Now you have to promise with all your heart, never to tell anyone about that sparklely ride that I took you on.
Girl: Why?
Paige: Because it could get me in lots of trouble.
Girl: Okay, I won't tell, I pwomise. (She pinches her brother.)
Boy: I pwomise too.
(The double doors open. Mr. Cowan and the twins' mother, Kirsten, walk out.)
Kirsten: Hey! (The twins run to their mother.) I missed you guys.
Girl Boy: We misseded you! (Kirsten kisses each of her children on the forehead, then turns to Paige.) Thank you so much for the help!
Paige: No problem.
Kirsten: Were they any trouble?
(Paige and the twins exchange looks.)
Paige: Not at all.
Kirsten: Thanks again. (She ruffles her son's hair.) Well, we've got to go, it's almost bedtime. (to Mr. Cowan) Thanks for helping me.
Mr. Cowan: Of course. Bye, Kirsten.
Kirsten: Bye. (They leave.)
Mr. Cowan: You were a great, Paige.
Paige: Thanks.
(Mr. Cowan looks at his watch, then back to Paige.)
Mr. Cowan: Why don't you head home?
Paige: Really?
Mr. Cowan: You've earned it.
Paige: I don't know what to say.
Mr. Cowan: Don't say anything, just know that it won't happen all the time.
Paige: Of course.
Mr. Cowan: Now beat it.
(Paige smiles and then leaves.)
Scene: The park. Andy and Agent Fallon are there.
Fallon: Sure hope Piper's gonna be okay. She didn't look very well.
Andy: I know. Both Piper and the first victim were attacked by the far end of those trees.
Agent Fallon: Must have hidden in that stretch of woods waiting to attack. Wanna get a closer look?
Andy: Absolutely.
Agent Fallon: You better turn your cell phone off too. Wouldn't want it to ring and scare it away. (They turn off their phones.) This is a nice spot. How'd you find this place? You and Piper's sister spend some time here?
Andy: No. Prue runs more to the high brow.
Agent Fallon: Her loss.
Andy: I take it you're not married?
Agent Fallon: Do you see a ring on my finger? I was engaged once. He was my world. Totally my world. Then one day, 'boom', the empty dresser, the one word note"Sorry." I started falling. I kept falling.
Andy: Yeah, I know how that is.
Agent Fallon: No you don't. But I took steps. I did what I needed to make myself strong. To make it so no one could ever hurt me like that again.
Andy: I'd love to know how you do that.
Agent Fallon: Maybe I'll show you if you're lucky. Now my life's a lot less complicated. All I'm interested in is sex. Does that shock you?
Andy: No. Just wondering where you were in college, that's all.
Scene: Paige's green V.W. Bug. Paige is driving past the park. She out the right window to see Andy's car.
Paige: Andy? Here, at this hour? (She pulls her car into the parking lot and parks it next to the car she thinks is Andy's. She gets out, walks over to the window, and peeks inside. She sees a little picture of Prue and Andy, taped to the dashboard. She looks over at the dark park and begins to walk through the park.) Andy? Hello? Andy?
Scene: Manor. Phoebe and Prue walk in.
Prue: Piper? (They walk in the living room and Piper's sitting on the couch sweating and shaking.)
Phoebe: Piper?
Piper: I'm miserable.
Phoebe: It's okay, honey, it's okay.
Piper: No, no, it's not. (She pulls off the bandage and shows them her hairy arm.)
Phoebe: Ohh! Prue!
Prue: Oh, um, can you get up?
Piper: Back off! What, you think I can't walk now?
Phoebe: Honey, we're just trying to help you.
Piper: Help me? You can't even hold a job.
Prue: Okay, now wait a minute, Piper.
Piper: Oh, save it. Do you always have to be in charge? I'm sorry! What's happening to me!
Prue: It's alright. We're gonna take care of you. (Phoebe sees Agent Fallon's card on the table. She picks it up and has a premonition of Agent Fallon turning into a Wendigo.)
Prue Piper: What?
Phoebe: I just saw who the Wendigo is. Agent Fallon.
Piper: Her? I thought it had to be a him.
Phoebe: I guess not. And even worse, I saw her and Andy at the park at night, alone.
Prue: Okay, I'm gonna call him and warn him. You call Paige and then we'll meet upstairs and look in the Book Of Shadows, to see if we can find a way to help Piper.
Phoebe: Okay.
Cut to the attic. Phoebe's on her cell phone and Piper are looking through the Book Of Shadows.
Piper: Nothing. It's just the same old crap I've already seen.
(Prue enters.)
Prue: I tried Andy's cell phone. No answer.
Phoebe: Paige's cell just keeps ringing, until her voicemail picks up.
Prue: Well, there's got to be something. (Prue looks at the bottom of the page.) "C.F. Desiderata"
Phoebe: Yeah, like we're supposed to know what that means.
Prue: It means"con fir desiderata." It's Latin for"look up things that are yearned for."
Piper: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're so very smart.
Prue: Piper.
Piper: Don't Piper me, just shut up.
Prue: No, you are going to listen to me. This is not you. Alright, it's the blood of the Wendigo and you have to fight it.
Piper: It's so strong.
Prue: You're stronger.
Phoebe: Fight it Piper.
Piper: I'm okay.
Prue: Alright, things that are yearned for. Wisdom, balance, unbecoming. That's got to be it. (She turns to another page in the book.) Alright, unbecoming a Wendigo. So we have to kill the Wendigo that slashed you by melting its heart of ice.
Piper: What if you can't find her?
Phoebe: We'll find her. She's gonna be in the park tonight.
Piper: What if you're wrong? What if you don't? Then you'll have to... then you'll have to kill me.
Prue: Don't be ridiculous, Piper, we're not gonna kill you.
Phoebe: We're gonna kill the thing that did this to you.
Prue: But we might have to confine you until we get back. So, tie you down, I guess.
Piper: No, go to hell!
Prue: (to Phoebe) Do we have any chains?
Phoebe: I actually do think I have something.
Prue: Okay. (Phoebe walks out of the attic.) Are you back?
Piper: I don't want this to happen to me, Prue. Kill Ashley. This is me talking.
(Phoebe enters. She holds up a pair of handcuffs.)
Phoebe: Here.
Prue: Where did you get those? Nevermind.
Piper: Let's just do this. (They handcuff Piper to a pipe and she sits on a chair.)
Phoebe: We still need to take a trip to the Army-Navy store.
Prue: Why?
Phoebe: To get a flare gun.
Piper: Screw you bitch!
Phoebe: Okay, I think we need to hurry.
Prue: Uh, yeah, just hang in there, Piper.
Scene: The park. Andy and Ashley are there.
Ashley: What's the matter?
Andy: I was just thinking that I'm probably not the best cop to be on the stake out with, seeing I'm AB negative.
Ashley: Don't worry. I'll protect you.
Cut back to the attic. Piper's sweating. She screams and her eyes turn yellow. She then turns into a Wendigo. All her clothes rip off. She breaks the pipe and handcuffs.
Scene: The park. It's night time.
Ashley: Andy, doing okay?
Andy: A little on edge.
(Ashley's hand turns into a Wendigo hand.)
Ashley: Instinct of the hunt. That's why you're here. That's why you're a cop.
Andy: Does this turn you on or something, Agent Fallon?
Ashley: Or something.
Andy: Look, you are a gorgeous woman but we're on this job together. Let's just get this over with.
Ashley: Let's not. (She turns into a Wendigo. Andy gets out his gun and tries to shoot at her. She hits him across the head. Then she runs off. Minutes later, Paige arrives.)
Paige: Andy? (She sees Andy on the ground and gasps.) Oh God! (She kneels next to him.) Oh, Andy, you're gonna be okay! (She reaches into her pocket and realizes she left her cell phone in her car.) Damnit. (She looks down at Andy, who is knocked out cold, and then places a gentle hand on his shoulder, orbing them out.)
Cut to the backseat of Paige's V.W. Bug. Paige and Andy orb in, with Andy laying on the backseat. Paige reaches into the front, grabs her cell, and sees that she missed a load of calls from Phoebe.
Paige: Crap! (She dials Phoebe's number, but gets her voicemail. She hangs up and dials Prue's cell phone. It rings.)
Cut to Prue and Phoebe. Prue's cell phone rings and she answers it.
Prue: Hello? (pause) Paige? (pause) Wait, slow down and repeat that.
Cut to Paige.
Paige: Prue, we've got problems...
Time lapse. Cut to Prue and Phoebe. They pull up in Prue's car. They get out.
Phoebe: Okay, if the moon is over there, we should go that way.
Prue: I don't see Paige's car.
Phoebe: Don't worry, we'll find her. She may have parked on the other side of the park.
Prue: Alright, let's hurry.
Cut to Paige. She is sitting next to Andy, as he starts to wake up.
Paige: (thinking) Uh oh..This is going to look way too suspicious. (She takes his hand and orbs them back to the spot where she found him. Suddenly Paige feels strange crawling feeling rush through her and she turns around to have the Wendigo smack her across the face, sending her sailing into a nearby tree, and knocking her out cold. The Wendigo leans over Andy and rips of his shirt, then cuts him down the chest with its fingernail. Prue and Phoebe approach from behind some trees.)
Prue: Andy? Andy?
(The Wendigo runs away.)
Phoebe: This is definitely the place. I recognize it from my premonition.
(The Wendigo growls and starts running towards them.)
Prue: Oh, God! (She gets out the flare gun, shoots and misses it. It scares the Wendigo and it runs away.) Okay, give me another one.
Phoebe: If that didn't get Andy to come out, he's dead already.
Prue: He's dead when we find a body, not before. (Prue loads the flare gun again. The Wendigo runs towards them again. Prue fires the flare gun and scares the Wendigo.) Okay, how many more do we have?
Phoebe: Two.
Prue: Two?
Phoebe: That's all they had. Wait, I think that's him. (They see Andy on the ground. They run over to him.)
Prue: Oh God! Alright, he's alive but she's slashed him.
Phoebe: He still has his heart?
Prue: Yeah, we must've driven her off just in time.
(The Wendigo growls and appears behind them. They turn around and Prue fires the flare gun. It runs away. Phoebe leans down the places a hand on Andy's hand. She has a premonition of the Wendigo sending Paige flying into the tree.)
Prue: Phoebe?
(Phoebe looks towards the tree.)
Phoebe: Paige! (She gets up and runs to her baby sister.) Paige. Paige! (She kneels down and gently shakes Paige awake.) Hey, sis, are you okay?
Paige: Oh.. (She rubs her head.) A little woozy. (She remembers Andy.) Oh no, Andy!
Phoebe: Is with Prue.
Paige: Thank goodness. (She stands up.) That thing came out of nowhere and sent me flying.
Phoebe: I know, I had a premonition. (They walk over to Prue and Andy.) Last one. My turn. This time we don't fire until I see slobber on its face.
Paige: What?
Prue: Flares. We have one left. (She looks around.) Okay, uh, it's over there.
Phoebe: No, wait, I think it's over here.
Paige: No, no, it's right here.
(Two Wendigo's start running towards them.)
Phoebe: Wait, how can it be in two places at once?
Prue: It can't. One of them is Piper. Shoot.
Phoebe: I can't, Prue.
Prue: Just shoot and pray you hit the right one. (Phoebe shoots at a Wendigo and the flame and the other Wendigo freezes.)
Phoebe: Piper froze it. Do something.
Prue: I'll do something all right! (She turns to the Wendigo and squints her eyes, sending the Wendigo crashing through into a tree.) How dare you hurt Andy, you bitch! (She squints her eyes again, hurling the Wendigo through the air.) You're going to pay for hurting him! (Prue uses her power and moves the flare and it hits the other Wendigo in the heart. It burns and disappears. Piper turns back into a person and she realizes she's naked, so she hides behind a tree. Paige and Phoebe run over to Piper. Prue stares at the scorch mark on the ground, hot with fury. She was feeling so much hatred right now.) How dare you try to hurt him..
Paige: (to Piper) Are you okay?
Piper: I think so. But I'm naked and freezing.
(Andy's wound heals. Prue runs over to him.)
Prue: Andy. (Andy wakes up.) Hey, are you okay?
Andy: What happened? Prue, what are you doing here? Where's the Wendigo? (He tries to get up.)
Prue: She's gone. Easy. Lie back down. Just lay back down. It's alright. I'll explain everything later.
Scene: Quake. Paige, Phoebe, and Prue are sitting at a table. Piper brings them some drinks.
Piper: On the house, for saving my hide.
Phoebe: Literally, you Wendigo, you.
(Piper sits down.)
Prue: Are you okay to work?
Piper: Yeah, I'm fine. It's like nothing ever happened. Except for Billy.
Paige: No, well, there was no way that you could've known about Agent Fallon.
Piper: I know. It's just I'm not used to losing an innocent we're supposed to protect.
Phoebe: He wanted to help stop her so she couldn't hurt anybody else and that's exactly what he did.
Paige: I'm just grateful that you're safe.
Prue: And Andy.
Paige: By the way, what did you tell him about why we were all there.
Prue: I told him the truth.
Phoebe: Get out!
Prue: I did. I said what he saw happened was true, that Agent Fallon really was the Wendigo and that had we not vanquished her, that both he and Piper would've been killed. I couldn't think of anything else to say.
Piper: Well, what did he say?
Prue: Not much. He was either too stunned to speak or he actually believed me on some level. This was as close that we've ever come to having an honest conversation.
Paige: So maybe Andy's more open to you being a witch than you think? (thinking) Unlike Glenn.
Prue: Hmm. (She shakes her head.) I'm just greatful that he's okay. I mean, I cannot believe I didn't notice that bi..
Piper: Prue..
Prue: ...witch, was after him! I should have, you know. With her hanging all over him, the way she was.
Paige: Hmm, sounds like somebody still has the hots for Andy.
Prue: Alright, back to work.
Phoebe: Actually, I need to talk to you about something and please don't be mad but I quit.
Prue: What?
Phoebe: It's not that I don't appreciate the opportunity because I do. It's just that every time touch something at Bucklands I risk having a premonition and it's just too emotional for me. Besides that's your world. I need to find one of my own.
Prue: You will.
Piper: Just stay out of my world or I'll kill you. (Prue, Paige, and Phoebe look worried and confused. Piper gets up and starts to walk away. She turns around.) Kidding! It's just a joke (She walks away.)
Paige: Ooh!
