Give me a sign

Jailhouse

The scene opens up with a key entering a lock. A deputy sheriff is unlocking the gate to the jailhouse. The gate swings open, and Deputy Sheriff #1 enters. Deputy Sheriff #2 removes the key from the keyhole, and follows.

Deputy Sheriff #1, who is taller than Deputy Sheriff #2, has broader shoulders, with curly brown hair and Deputy Sheriff #2, who has dark brown hair, with a moustache, go-tee, and arched and drawn-together eyebrows walk side by side. They stop at a cell.

Deputy Sheriff #2 says "All right Jessup, let's go."

Bane Jessup is sitting on the jail floor, shirtless, and wearing orange prison attire.

Bane has a suspicious look and says "Where?" He gets up from off the floor.

Deputy Sheriff #2 says "Downtown. Evidence shows you've got a hearing."

Bane says "My hearing? — It's not suppose to be until next week."

Deputy Sheriff #2 says "It got moved up. "

Bane is in his cell, looking confused. Deputy Sheriff #2 yells to the other deputies in the corridor.

Deputy Sheriff #2 yells to the guards "Open up Bane Jessup!"

Voices are heard in the background.

Deputy Sheriff #3 in the background says "Opening Jessup."

The cell door slides open, and Bane steps closer to the entrance.

Bane says "I've never seen you guys before."

Deputy Sheriff #1 says "Well, look! It's your hearing. If you don't want to go, fine."

Deputy Sheriff #1 reaches behind his belt and pulls out a pair of handcuffs. He puts them in Bane's face.

Bane is being led out of the prison by Deputy Sheriff #1 and Deputy Sheriff #2. He is handcuffed, and wearing an orange prison t-shirt. Next to him, an inmate with long brown hair tied into a ponytail is being led in by a tall, African American Deputy Sheriff, and Deputy Sheriff #4.

African American Deputy Sheriff says "Garbage in, garbage out, huh?"

The Black Deputy Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff #4 enter the prison while Deputy Sheriff #1, Deputy Sheriff #2, and Bane continue walking.

Bane says "Litvack sent you, didn't he?"

Bane looks at Deputy Sheriff#1 and elbows him in the chest. Deputy Sheriff#1 falls back towards a big van. Deputy Sheriff#2 pulls an object out of his back pocket, and shines a blue laser light at Bane. Bane steps out of the way, and instead, Deputy Sheriff#1 is hit. Deputy Sheriff#1 is hit in the heart with the blue laser, and quickly disappears in a small sphere of fire. Bane steps into Deputy Sheriff#2, and kicks him with his right foot, square in the chest. Deputy Sheriff#2 grunts, and doubles over, dropping the laser onto the ground. It rolls underneath a van.

He hits Deputy Sheriff#2's head with handcuffs still around his wrist, leaving an ugly gash on his right cheek. He backs into a car, and charges at Bane again. Bane grabs him by the arms, and throws him onto the ground. Bane moves onto him, and grabs him by the shirt. Deputy Sheriff#2 grabs Bane by the collar with his left hand, and gets up. Bane is still grabbing his shirt, but lets go in terror when the Deputy gets up. Deputy Sheriff#2 is standing up while holding Bane by the collar on his shirt. His feet are about six inches off the ground. With his left hand, the deputy heaves Bane into the air. Bane goes flying, and hits a sheriff van with the passenger door open. He slides down the side, and when he looks up, the gash on Deputy Sheriff #2's face heals magically. Deputy Sheriff #2 turns away, to retrieve his weapon, and during that split second, Bane hops into the van, and starts to drive away. Deputy Sheriff #2 quickly turns around and runs after the van. He reaches for the door handle, and manages to pull himself halfway up the van. The van continues moving, and he falls, closing the door of the van at the same time. The van drives towards a gate and Deputy Sheriff #5, who is right in front of the gate. He yells.

Deputy Sheriff #5 says "Stop!"

He motions for Bane to halt. When it is clear that the van will not stop, the deputy dives to safety. The van bursts through the prison gates, while Deputy Sheriff #2 runs back to the van where he lost his weapon. He gets down on the ground and reaches for it, but is unable to grasp it. Meanwhile, Deputy Sheriff #6 enters the scene through the doors. He gives a brief scan of the situation, and sees Deputy Sheriff #2 on the ground.

Deputy Sheriff #6 says "Hey. What's going on here?"

Deputy Sheriff #2 turns around to look at him, gets up, and runs off. The camera focuses on the weapon underneath the van.

Halliwell Manor

Piper dressed in a black and white tank top with purple sweats, walks in with the morning newspaper in her right hand. Behind her, Phoebe dressed in a yellow and black tank top with a white headband walks in with her hands on her hips.

Piper says "Leo's mortal now and everything, but—for how long, I mean how, how do I know he won't want his…" she walks towards the cabinet to the left of the sink and reaches to get a glass cup "…wings back someday?" Phoebe opens the refrigerator to get a bottle of orange juice. "And then there's Dan, who is still great—and normal," she walks to the breakfast table where Phoebe is pouring a glass of orange juice "which is good— considering I'm not."

Phoebe looks at her watch and says "28 minutes, 33 seconds."

Piper looks at her and says "Really? We ran that long?"

Phoebe says "No. I've been timing how long you've been comparing Leo and Dan."

Piper says "I haven't been 'comparing'—I've just been...talking."

Phoebe says "Nonstop." she puts the bottle of orange juice back into the refrigerator.

Piper says "Well, so, you're my sister. I have a problem. The least you could be is more understanding."

Phoebe says "Piper, I am understanding. You're in love with two guys, who both love you." Piper rolls her eyes "I get it. Totally! But what I don't get, is why you won't let me help you."

Piper says "Help me?" "Phoebe drinks some orange juice "What are you going to do? Take one of them off my hands?" Phoebe pretends to consider the offer, and smiles. "That's not an option."

Phoebe says "Look, you're stuck. You don't want to string them along, but you can't make a choice. You need help... assistance...a sign."

Piper says "A 'sign'…"

Phoebe says "...a spell. One that will point the magical arrow in the direction of your true love, and end the great debate once and for all."

Piper smirks, and sighs and says "Like that doesn't have 'personal gain' tattooed across its forehead."

Phoebe says "Not necessarily. I've been working on my spells. I think I can write one for you that's consequence free. It's all in the wording."

Piper sighs and says "No! I can't."

She walks away. Phoebe turns her head and says "Why not?"

Piper says "Because... I can't expect magic to solve my personal problems."

Phoebe says "But that's the beauty, you don't have to, I'll do it for you."

Prue is in another room, holding a small camera. She is wearing jeans and a fuzzy pink sweater.

Prue says "Hey, when did my camera equipment get here?"

Piper and Phoebe both walk over to Prue.

Piper says "Oh, about an hour ago. I didn't want to wake you. Is everything there?"

Prue says "Yeah, it looks like it."

Phoebe says "Jeez! Prue!" she picks up a box, and put it back down "Think you bought enough stuff?"

Prue says "Yeah, I know it's a lot. But so much of photography has gone digital now, that if I want to seriously pursue it, I have to have the right equipment. " She picks up a larger Nikon camera.

Phoebe says "Whe...You're thinking of becoming a professional photographer?"

Prue says "Yeah — Why? You don't think that I should?"

Phoebe says "No, no I mean, I think it's great if that's what you want to do, it's just... "

Prue says "It's just what?"

Phoebe says" Well, I-uh... isn't photography just a really dicey profession money wise?" Piper pinches her. "Ow, ow!"

Phoebe says "You know, all I'm saying is that how many women professional photographers do you know?"

Prue says "I know, and that's a totally fair question, one that I've been wrestling with a lot lately, like…" she sighs "— ever since I quit my job."

Piper says "Prue, you dreamt of winning the Pulitzer in photography back in college! You never wanted to work in a museum, or at the auction house. That's something you did for us, so we could keep the house. So now, it is your turn to follow your dreams."

Prue smiles.

Phoebe says "Hey! Maybe finding out you were a photographer in your last life is some kind of sign. Speaking of signs..." she eyes Piper and walks off to write Piper a spell.

Piper says "No... Wait! No..."

She runs after Phoebe. Prue looks at the Nikon, and walks to the mirror, camera in hand. She takes a photo of herself, holding a camera in the mirror. She holds the camera down by her waist, and smiles briefly.

Prue says "Portrait of a dreamer."

Piper is waiting outside of the bathroom and says "Phoebe, you're not in there writing a spell for me, are you?"

inside of the bathroom Phoebe is indeed writing a spell for Piper.

Phoebe lies and says "Uhhh—No... I'm in the bathroom. Who writes spells in the bathroom? I'll be right out." Phoebe sprinkles the leaves of a dead rose over the paper on which she wrote the spell. "I beseech all powers above, send a sign to free my sisters heart, one that will lead her to her love."

A charm is heard in the background.

Prue is still in front of the mirror. She is looking at the camera by her waist, when Bane's reflection is seen in the mirror.

Bane says "Hello Prue."

She looks up at him in surprise. The sound of broken glass is heard.

Prue says "Huh...Ba..."

Bane presses a cloth to her nose and mouth. She passes out temporarily.

Bane says "Shhhhh"

Underworld

Michael and Zeke flame in as Rosaline orbs in at the outside of Jared's chambers.

"Thanks for meeting me here." Rosaline says

"What are we doing here?" Zeke asks

"Relax don't worry to much." Michael says and starts to walk.

"Relax, you bring me into a creepy place and you want me to relax?" Zeke says.

"I'm sorry but it's perfectly safe here." Michael says as a guard shimmers in

"You were saying?" Zeke says

Opening credits

Underworld

The guard walks up to them slowly as they back away from him "What have we got here? Some kids lost in the underworld?" The guard assumes

"I am not a kid." Rosaline says

"I don't believe you had permission to speak." The guard says.

"Hey, watch it buddy." Michael threatens

"What did you say to me?" The guard asks forming a fireball and a demon in a red hood flames in behind the guard.

"Stop." The demon says and the guard turns around.

"But sire, these kids…" The guard says

"Are not your concern." The demon says.

"Understood sir." He says

"Yeah, yeah I am going now." Michael says grabbing Zeke and Rosaline pulling them behind him.

The demon in the red hood holds his hand out and pulls them towards him with a telekinetic pull. "Who are you?" He asks forming a fireball.

"M-Michael." Michael says and the fireball goes out.

"Oh, I see." He says "Your father and I are great friends we go way back." Michael looks at him confused "I assume you don't know who I am." Michael nods "Well, you will find out soon but right now I need to talk to you." He looks at Zeke and Rosaline and forms a fireball.

"Wait don't." Michael commands "Please. They're my friends." His fireball goes out "Thank you." He turns to his friends and says "Maybe you should go home I'll stop by later."

"Ok." Rosaline says orbing Zeke out.

He grabs Michael's hand and flames them out to another part of the underworld.

Manor

Phoebe's holding Prue's Nikon in both hands, with her eyes closed, trying to get a premonition. Piper is standing near the table. Phoebe opens her eyes.

Piper says "Well?"

Phoebe says "Nothing."

She puts her left hand on her hip, holding the Nikon in her right.

Piper says "Okay. We have to keep trying until you do get a premonition. We have to figure out what happened to Prue."

Phoebe says "Piper, that crack that I made about her becoming a photographer—I don't want that to be the last thing I ever say to her."

Piper says "Phoebe, you're overreacting. That is my department. All you have to do is relax and concentrate." The doorbell rings. "Here. Try the rag again." she walks to the front door, and opens it. She opens the door to reveal Inspector Morris. He walks in, and she closes the door behind him.

Inspector Morris says "I've got bad news, I've got worse news. Which do you want first?"

Piper says "Phoebe..." to Inspector Morris "Uh... does this have anything to do with Prue?"

Inspector Morris says "Unless she helped Bane Jessup escape from county jail—no."

Phoebe walks into the room. She sits on the edge of the couch, and folds her arms across her chest.

Piper says "Bane Jessup. Why does that name sound familiar?"

Phoebe says "Because he is the guy our favorite demon hired to 86 us, remember?"

Piper says "The one we thought Prue liked?"

Phoebe says "Yes."

Piper says to inspector Morris "When did he escape?"

Inspector Morris says "This morning. We've already launched a full-scale manhunt." Piper and Phoebe look at each other with concerned expressions on their faces. "What is it? What's wrong?"

Piper says "Prue is missing—We think she may have been kidnapped. So we sent Michael to see what he can find out, he should be back by now."

Phoebe says "And I found this by the back door."

She hands him the rag. He sniffs it.

Inspector Morris says "Chloroform."

Piper says "We would have called you, but we didn't know who, or—what had taken her."

Inspector Morris says "It'd be a pretty big coincidence if it wasn't Bane—especially since you guys are responsible for putting him in jail."

Piper says "Yeah, but why just take Prue? Why not all of us?"

Phoebe says "Well maybe he's trying to lure us. Maybe another demon hired him to trap us."

Inspector Morris says "Which might explain this." He pulls a bag out of his inner coat pocket, and hands it to Piper. "I found it when we swept the prison lock this morning. It's actually the reason why I came over. I wanted to see if it—looked familiar to you."

Piper is holding the object in her hands. It is a small silver object, with a light on one side. It has carvings on it and is intricately designed.

Phoebe says "Well, it's definitely demonic."

Piper says "Do you mind if we keep this so we can figure out what demon we're dealing with?"

Inspector Morris says "I can't exactly turn that in to...evidence inventory." Piper and Phoebe both shake their heads. "Look, I gotta go — Let me know if you find out anything. I think that your chances of finding out Bane are bigger than ours now and I'll let Andy know what is going on."

Piper says "Uh, yeah, and could you maybe keep this quiet, because the bigger this thing gets, the more danger she's..."

Inspector Morris says "I know. Look, I'll keep it as quiet as I can for as long as I can."

Phoebe says "Thanks."

Inspector Morris opens the front door, and is about to leave, when the deliveryman walks up to the door.

Deliveryman says "Hi there. Gotta sign. It's for Piper, Piper Halliwell."

Darryl leaves

Piper says "Hmm..."

Phoebe says "Hmm... Can I see that?" She takes the package, and examines it. While Piper is signing. "Leonardo's Boutique...Bodega Bay, California."

Piper says "Yeah, uh Dan and I were there—ordered some earrings." The she says to the deliveryman "Thank you."

She closes the door. She snatches the package from Phoebe.

Phoebe says "Mmm."

Piper says "The deliveryman said he got a sign."

Phoebe says "Mmm."

Phoebe looks around, and backs up, embarrassed to have been caught red-handed. Piper advances forward.

Piper says "Leonardo's Boutique and Bodega Bay. Leo, short for Leonardo, Bodega Bay, where Dan is from."

Phoebe scratches the side of her head, and looks at the floor.

Piper hunches over to look Phoebe in the eye and says "Don't egg blond. You cast that spell, didn't you."

Phoebe says "Yes I did!"

Piper says "When I specifically asked you not to." lightly taps the package against Phoebe's forehead "and at a time like this."

Phoebe says "I was just trying to help Piper, and it was before Prue disappeared."

She takes the demon object and waves it in Phoebe's face.

Piper says "You. This. Book of Shadows. Go!"

Phoebe takes the object in hand, and instantly gets a premonition

Premonition

Prue sitting in a chair with her feet and hands tied. Bane is behind her, blindfolding and gagging her.

End of Premonition

Piper says "What did you see?"

Phoebe says "Prue, bound and gagged, and with Bane."

Suddenly they hear Zeke's in the background of orbs "We shouldn't have left him there." The orbs disappear as they become corporeal. "Well he said for us to."

"Where is Michael?" Piper asks

"Talking to a demon he told us to come up here and he'll be here later." Rosaline says.

"Well someone go get him." Piper says "Go. Go. Go." And Rosaline orbs out.

Underworld

Michael and the Source flame in at his chambers.

"Ok, seriously I was just going to see my father I swear." Michael says

"I know calm down your not in trouble." The source says

"Then what am I doing here?" Michael asks.

In another part of the underworld Rosaline orbs in "Mikey?" she yells and is grabbed from behind by a demon and shimmering out.

"Your powers are strong Michael. perhaps stronger than your oldest cousin." The source says.

"My oldest cousin?" Michael says "So you know who I am then?"

"Yes. I know everything about you. You are here because you have a tendency to tell my demons to leave and cease fire." The source says

"No, I said to stop and cease fire from them attacking me or my friends." Michael argues as a demon comes in

"My liege." He says "We have someone that was in the underworld, a whitelighter"

The guards bring in Rosaline and Michael says to himself "Rosy?"

"What do we do with her?" He asks

"You let her go." The Michael says

"My apologies Master Michael that question wasn't made to you I was speaking to The Source." He looks at the source and says "She was in the underworld, I would have fired but then remembered if I did I would have violated your order of not harming the kids that come down here."

Michael grabs her from the guards and flames Rosaline out.

"Find him." The Source says.

"No. don't." Jared says walking into the chamber "I will not have my son walk himself right into the face of danger."

Bane's dream house

Bane is dressed in a dress shirt, dress pants, and dress shoes. He walks into a barren and half-painted room. He walks behind Prue, who is bound and gagged to a chair, and unties

her gag, but hesitates before removing it.

Bane says "Don't scream."

She signs in relief.

Prue says "Why not?"

He walks to the right of her.

Bane sighs and says "Cuz if you do, we won't be able to talk. Besides, it won't help. The nearest neighbor is about six miles away."

Prue says "Then why not take off the blind fold. What are you afraid of?"

Bane says "Are you kidding? I've seen you use your powers before—On me!" He considers the thought for a moment. "All right, if you try anything, the blindfold goes back on."

He walks behind her and takes the blindfold off. She breathes hard in relief.

Prue says "What do you want?"

He walks to the front of her.

Bane puts his hands in his pockets "Your help, to save my life."

Prue says "Yeah, well most people ask for it, they don't kidnap for it."

Bane says "I'm not most people. Neither are you."

Prue says "What makes you think that I'll help you?"

Bane says "I don't." shrugs "But without you and your sisters, I don't stand a chance against this particular demon."

Prue says "Yeah, well, from where I'm sitting, that's a good thing."

Bane says "He tried to have me killed today Prue. I got lucky and barely escaped. And he's gonna keep trying."

Prue says "Why would he bother? You're a mortal."

Bane says "I'm a mortal that knows about demons." crosses his arms in front of his chest "He doesn't like that. Litvack—that's what they call him."

She takes a cursory glance of the place

Prue says "Where are we?" Bane looks up through the window. "Is this yours?"

Bane says "Was going to be—before you and your kid body guard came along, and cut me off from my dreams." And he gives an accusing smile

Prue says "Because you tried to kill me."

Bane says "Now, that was before I got to know you." And he smiles

Prue says "You don't strike me as a dreamer."

Bane says "There's a lot about me you don't know."

Prue says "Few things that you need to learn about me too." She squints her eyes, and her power sends him flying into the back wall. The wall paint comes off, and he slides to the floor. "Like how I will never put my sisters or Michael in danger." He gets up and walks around Prue. "So you can forget about any of us helping you."

He puts the blindfold back on.

Bane putting both hands on her shoulders says "Sooner or later, you're gonna have to trust me Prue."

He walks away.

Cemetery mausoleum

The demon Litvack is standing in front of a large rotating triangular sphere of fire. His hands surround the sphere, but don't touch it. His eyes are closed. Nearby, his servant sits on a stone as Deputy Sheriff #2 walks in.

Servant says "About freakin' time! What took you so long?"

Deputy Sheriff#2 says "We uh had a little problem."

Servant says "Problem? What problem? Where's your partner?" he goes to look out the door "Do not tell me that you screwed this up. Do not tell me that Bane Jessup is still alive." He sighs "How is that even possible? He's a lousy mortal. How hard can it be?"

Deputy Sheriff#2 says "He's smart. He wasn't surprised we were coming for him."

Servant says "Well of course not, you idiot! That's why we wanted him off-ed. Because he knows about us."

Litvack opens his eyes, and the sphere of fire disappears.

Servant says "Oh jeez! Think, think, think. What are we going to tell Litvack?"

Litvack walks towards his two demon servants.

Litvack says "He's gonna tell me how you plan to rectify, this little problem, is how I believe he phrased it."

Servant says to Deputy Sheriff #2 "On your knees!"

He kicks him in the gut. Deputy Sheriff #2 grunts. Litvack puts his hand on his head, and he reads his mind.

Deputy Sheriff #2 missing Bane with the blue beam and accidentally zapping Deputy Sheriff #1. Bane knocks the weapon out of his hand, which rolls underneath a van. The van breaks the gate, and Deputy Sheriff #2 has to leave before he can retrieve it. Litvack removes his hand, and Deputy Sheriff #2 groans.

Litvack says "I saw what you saw." Deputy Sheriff #2 looks up at him "How he used you to kill the other. How he got away, how you lost the weapon..."

Servant says "Wait, wait, wait. What? You lost the weapon?"

Deputy Sheriff #2 says "The guards were—I had to run."

Servant says "To find a mortal?"

Litvack says "All you need to do is follow his dreams. That's where they always escape to. You understand me?"

Servant says "He'll find Jessup. I swear."

Litvack says "No." Litvack puts his hand above Deputy Sheriff #2's head, and fire appears beneath him. Deputy Sheriff#2 screams as the fire consumes him, and he disappears in a puff of fire. He is smiling "You will, and then you'll find the weapon. No loose ends."

Litvack walks away.

Halliwell Manor

Piper hands Leo, who is dressed in a blue sweater, the silver object.

Piper says "We couldn't find it in the Book of Shadows anywhere."

He looks it over, turning it around and around in his hands and says "It's a weapon."

Phoebe, who has a red sweater on, walks towards Piper and says " Are you kidding me, it's a weapon?"

Leo says "One that can only be activated by a demon. From what I remember, it's handed out by a specific upper level demon to those who work for him."

Phoebe says "What do you mean upper level?"

Leo says "There's a hierarchy of demons. They try to work their way up by destroying good, promoting evil. Whoever issued this particular weapon is very important."

Piper says "You mean dangerous... Any idea who?"

Leo says "No."

Leo hands the weapon to Phoebe as Michael and Rosaline flame in

Phoebe says "All right, well this weapon may be the only way to find Prue, I'm back to the book." Phoebe walks up the stairs to the attic.

Piper says to Phoebe "I'll be right there." Then she says to Leo "Thanks for coming over so quickly Leo, and your offer to take care of the club."

Leo says "Is there anything else you need?"

Piper says "I don't know, I can't do anything but think about Prue right now."

Leo says "Remember, you know the most important thing. Phoebe's premonition proves that Prue is still alive."

Piper says "I know, but for how long, I mean, what if we can't get to her. What if she's hurt?"

Piper sighs. Piper and Leo embrace.

Leo says "I wish I could do more—Because I can't help, I remember all the times that I could."

He leaves through the front door. When the door closes, she leans against it, frustrated about the current situation. On the other side of the door, Leo reaches out, as if he knew she was there. He leaves his hand out for a brief moment, and walks away.

Attic

Michael, Zeke and Rosaline walk in "Hey, whats going on?" Michael asks

"Great a demon quick activate this thing." Phoebe says throwing it into his hands.

"What do I do just push this button?" He pushes it and a blue laser light comes out and destroys the chair. "Oops."

Bane's Dream house

Bane sighs in frustration and He sits down on a wooden crate.

Bane says "I don't think you understand. As long as you're here with me, your life is on the line too you know."

Prue says "I can take care of myself."

Bane says "Not against Litvack. You have a fighting chance with your sisters, but as long as you're alone, you're as powerless as I am. Even if you can't trust me, you can trust that. "

Prue says "I told you, I'm not getting my sisters involved."

Bane says "All right fine. Your sisters came looking for you once before, they'll come looking again."

He walks to the window, and looks at the view.

Prue says "Not if I can help it." lowering her head onto her chest, and closes her eyes. She astral projects herself to Piper and Phoebe.

Attic

Piper, Michael, Zeke, Rosaline and Phoebe are researching the weapon and demon.

Phoebe reading from the Book of Shadows "'A weapon issued by level two demons?'"

She flips the page, On the page, there are sketches of the demons, including small captions of each one.

Piper says "But it doesn't say which demon."

Suddenly, The Book of Shadows flips pages. It stops at a page titled 'Mariners'. It is a spell, and includes colorful drawings.

Phoebe says "I love it when it does that. Mariners?" she points at the page "Well, they're not demons, they're sea fairies."

Piper looks at Phoebe and closes the book and says "That's because it has nothing to do with Prue, Phoebe. It's a sign." Phoebe looks down in embarrassment, and starts to fiddle with the silver demon weapon in her hands "Dan was a baseball player, for the Seattle Mariners!"

Phoebe still looking down and fiddling says "No one feels worse than I do right now."

Piper says "Mm hmmm."

Suddenly, Astral Prue appears in the attic.

Phoebe says "Prue! You're okay! Thank God."

Astral Prue says "Yeah, but uh Bane Jessup—he kidnapped me. "

Piper says "We know! Where are you?"

Prue says "You can't find me."

Phoebe says "What do you mean?"

"Hi." Michael says

Piper says "Huh?"

Prue says "It's a trap, so just stay away. Don't look for me." She starts to Astral away.

Piper says "What?"

Phoebe says "Prue?"

Piper says "Wait, wait."

Phoebe says "Wait, wait. Hello?"

Astral Prue is gone.

Bane's Dream House

Prue gasps as she returns. Bane turns around, and unties her blindfold. He seems genuinely concerned.

Bane says "You all right? I thought you passed out or something." He sits beside her.

Prue says "Feeling guilty? That's a good sign. It means you have a conscience." Bane gets up to untie Prue's hands and feet. "What are you doing?"

Bane says "I'm letting you go."

Prue says "Just like that?"

Bane says "I never wanted to hurt you Prue, I only wanted your help. But you can't help me if you don't trust me. And you're in danger as long as you're here." He helps her to her feet. "There's a market a mile down the road. You'll never see me again. I promise."

Suddenly, Litvack's servant appears at the doorway. He aims the weapon at Bane and Prue, but Bane ducks, and grabs Prue, pulling her down with him. They land on a pile of broken furniture. Litvack's servant aims the weapon again, but Prue sees it coming, and holds out her hand, to send the beam back his way. It hits the wall, and Litvack's servant looks away for a moment. Then, she sends him flying out the window. Glass flies everywhere, as he lands on his hands and knees. He scrambles away, not sure of what had just happened. Bane starts to pant, causing Prue to look at him. She sees that while protecting her, he fell onto a knife. He has an ugly gash on his left waist.

Bane says "Told you I never wanted to hurt you."

Prue says "And you just saved my life."

Bane says "You think you can trust me now?"

Halliwell Manor

Inspectors Morris and Trudeau are at the house and Darryl says "Tell me you're kidding."

Piper and inspector Morris walk into the living room Andy walks upstairs with Michael.

Piper says "It's all over the news."

Piper sits down, as Phoebe turns the television on.

Phoebe says "We called as soon as we saw the first broadcast. Look."

News Reporter "I'm reporting live from the county jail, where an inmate escaped earlier this morning."

Inspector Morris says "Unbelievable."

News Reporter continues "A massive manhunt has be launched to find the escapee. A man by the name of Bane Jessup, who was awaiting trial for racketeering, money laundering, and embezzlement."

Inspector Morris says "So much for keeping things quiet. This is a nightmare."

Piper says "Welcome to our world."

Phoebe says "You want some aspirin?"

Inspector Morris says "What we want is Prue safe, Bane put in jail, and nobody hurt by any..." He sees the weapon on the table. He walks forward. "Do you know what that is yet?"

Phoebe says "We're still looking. We do know that Bane definitely kidnapped Prue."

Inspector Morris says "What, has he made contact with you?"

Phoebe says "No, but she has."

Piper says "It's a long story, but she's okay."

Phoebe says "She said not to come looking for. She said it was a trap."

Inspector Morris says "Did she say what kind?" He reaches inside a brown sac and pulls out a thick file of paper. He places on their table. "Maybe this will help. The DA's file on Bane. That's all the information they pulled together for his trials. It's everything I copied before I got your phone call."

The phone rings. Phoebe picks it up.

Phoebe says "Hello? Really!" she says to Piper "It's someone calling for a Leonora Watkins." She leans into Piper. "Leo-nora" Piper motions for the phone "Watkins. Isn't that weird. "

Phoebe hands Piper the telephone.

Piper says into the phone "You have the wrong number."

Inspector Morris says "Anyway, we believe that Bane has a holdup somewhere. Maybe there's something in there that can tell you where. "

Piper says "So what the hell is he doing? Oh God I hope he's not hurting her."

Upstairs

Michael and Andy walk into a room. "Michael I need your help on a case." He says

"Me? Why?" Michael says

"Because I have a feeling it involves a demon or just some crazy person." Andy says

"Ok what's the case?" Michael asks

He pulls a file folder out of his bag "A girl was kidnapped by a strange man last year but the freaky thing is no one on our squad can get a lead on where she is."

"What's the girls name?" Michael asks

"Shyanne McWilliams." Andy says.

Michael's eyes widen as he hears the name "McWilliams?"

"Yeah. Does it mean anything to you?" Andy says

"It's Zeke's sister." Michael says

Bane's Dream House

Bane is sitting on a piece of furniture with his shirt open, while Prue is kneeling on the floor, tending his wounds. Bane groans as Prue tries to clean the gash.

Bane in pain says "P-P-Prue." He groans and winces.

Prue says "If I'm going to clean the wound, then I have to stop the bleeding—I'm sorry."

Bane says "Do you even know what you're doin'?"

Prue admits "No. Not really, but right now I'm the only choice that you've got. So, just try and hold still."

Bane says "That's easy for you to say. You don't have a set of fingernails clawing into your body."

Prue says "Yeah, well I'm almost done." hands him a white rag "Put this in your mouth or something."

Bane says "Forget about me. Go home. Before Litvack's man comes back."

Prue says "I told you—he's gone. Probably ran right back to Litvack."

Bane says "So now he knows about you too. All the more reason to leave."

Prue says "Well, as much as I would like to, I can't." She looks up at him. "Not until I know that you're okay. Besides, it's probably better just to stay put, you know, I mean now that we've been —sighted, they'll expect for us to take off. Speaking of things that need to be taken off" she hands him the towel "...you're um, pants." She stands up and takes two steps back)

Bane says "Excuse me?"

Prue says "Well, I need to get to the, um, wound. " She looks at him, completely embarrassed by the situation.

Bane says "Forget it!"

Prue laughs and says "Okay, you know what? It's just going to get infected. So you can either take off your pants on your own, or I can always do it by force."

Bane stands up and grumbles. Prue smiles in triumph.

Halliwell Manor

Phoebe walks in and places The Book of Shadows onto the table. Piper sits in a white chair, and she is looking through Bane's records as Michael sits down on the couch.

Phoebe says "I am getting nowhere and everywhere. How about you? Any luck?"

Piper says "Well, I'll give Bane this. He works hard—tax evasion, racketeering, pick a crime, any crime. "

Phoebe says "I feel like we're looking right at the answer, we're just not seeing it."

Piper says "He's got good taste too. There's a whole money laundering indictment here based on a real estate development. Exclusive custom homes—they're" she looks at the front page "really gorgeous. Check out the brochure."

She hands Phoebe the brochure. Phoebe takes it, and opens up the first page and looks at it with Michael.

Phoebe says "Mariner's Bluff. Oh! I'm sure the sea fairies will be very happy here."

Michael gives the 'what' look

Piper says "What did you say?" Phoebe looks at her "Phoebe, what exactly did your spell say?"

Phoebe says "I beseech all powers above, send a sign to free my sisters heart, one that will lead her to her love. Why?"

Piper says "Because the Book of Shadows specifically opened to the Mariners section. What if the signs we're getting have nothing to do with Dan and Leo, and everything to do with Prue? Where is Mariner's Bluff?"

Phoebe opens up the brochure, and looks at a map. She points to Bodega Bay.

Phoebe says "Bodega Bay."

Piper says "Leonardo's Boutique of Bodega Bay."

Phoebe says "Piper, I think you're right."

Piper says "Okay, so what were the clues? Mariners, Bodega Bay, Lenora Watkins?"

Phoebe says "Watkins Road Exit."

Piper says "So we've almost found her. All we need is an address."

Phoebe says "What's this?" she flips through various papers and brochures "Let's see."

She opens up a map of the lots in Mariner's Bluff.

Piper asks "Are the lots numbered? "

Phoebe sits down on the chair adjacent to Piper and accidentally hits the power button on the television remote control.

Sports Broadcaster on the T.V says "In an exhibition game last night, the Mariners lost to the Angels, 8 to 7. In other news, Sami Sosa..."

Phoebe says "Okay—now we're back to Dan and Leo. Mariners, Angels."

Piper says "No Phoebe, 8 to 7. Lot 827?"

Phoebe looks at the map of the different lots and says "Yes, there is an 827 at the top of the hill."

Piper says "I'll drive, you navigate."

They get up to leave and Phoebe sees Michael look a little nervous about something "What's wrong, Honey?"

He waits a minute before saying "Zeke's sister has been missing since last year and the police have no additional leads I was thinking of checking some leads out but what do I tell Zeke? We were supposed to hang out today?"

Phoebe says "Ok. Calm down. First you gonna go over to Zeke's and try to get some information out of him then if you want to take him with you to check out those leads and we'll meet you back here tonight."

"Ok." Michael says

Bane's Dream House

Bane says "Prue, why are you still here?"

Prue says "Because umm, I believe you."

Bane says "Well thank you. It's been a long time since someone believed in me."

Prue says "Maybe that's because you stopped believing in yourself."

Bane says "You known, I haven't always been like this. Wrong side of the law, always looking over my shoulder, I had dreams once. Big dreams."

Prue says "It's not too late to change now."

Bane says "Nah, it's too late for me, but not for you. So, you should definitely go, so you can still have your dreams."

Prue smiles and says "Easier said than done."

Bane says "What do you mean?"

Prue says "I don't know. I've just been thinking lately, that maybe dreams are just—that. Dreams."

Bane says "I don't believe that." They look at each other and Bane moves in closer to kiss Prue. Prue puts her hand up and hits him a little. "Oww."

They both laugh.

Prue says "I'm sorry." she laughs again

Bane says "I'm not."

They both smile at each other

Litvack's mausoleum

His servant is kneeling on the ground before him. His hand is on his servant's head, and reads his mind.

Litvack reading his servants mind

his servant aiming the beam, Bane and Prue avoiding it, and him getting thrown out the window by Prue.

End of mind reading

Litvack says "Interesting." He starts to pace

Servant says "I know, I screwed up. A Bolivian right?"

Litvack says "This is different. You weren't just up against a mortal. From what I saw, you were also up against a witch."

The Servant shakes his head and says "No excuse. Hundreds of witches out there, I should be able to handle one by myself."

Litvack says "This was different. Powerful, very powerful. Take me to this mortal's dream house."

Servant says "What? They gotta be long gone by now."

Litvack says "But their essence remains. I'll need to tap into it if I expect to reach their minds."

Servant says "Reach their minds?" he stands up "To what end?"

Litvack says "Theirs. The Source likes it when I feed them witches. That's how I got to where I am."

Zeke's House

Michael walks to the porch and knocks on the door "Hello. Zeke are you in there?" Michael asks as he bangs on the door. There is no answer. He walks to the window and looks inside. He sees the television on. He looks behind him back and forth before flaming into the house. He walks into the kitchen and finds nothing. He walks into the living room and finds nothing. So he walks upstairs and into Zeke's room only to be hit over the head with something. "Ow."

"Oh, sorry Mikey." Zeke says helping him up "I thought you were someone else."

"I see you protect yourself when your alone." Michael says.

"What brings you here I thought we were hanging out tonight." Zeke says

"Yeah, we are but I just need some information." Michael says.

"Have you found her?" Zeke says hopefully

"Excuse me?" Michael says.

"My sister, have you found her?" Zeke asks again.

"No. How did you…" Michael asks

"Because I know the police don't have any new leads." Zeke says

"I was just going to follow these leads and see where it gets me." Michael says "Want to come?"

He nods and grabs his shoes and then grabs Michael's hand and flames them out.

Commercial Break

The scene opens up with clothes scattered all over the floor. The camera pans up a bed, we see Bane sleeping, covered from his chest down by a blanket. He stirs, and looks around him.

Bane says "Prue?" He looks up and sees Prue standing in front of the window, gazing at the view. She is wearing a white tank top and his black boxers. He gets up, holding his blanket. "Prue?" He walks over to her. He softly says "Prue?"

Prue says "The view is amazing."

Bane says "It's not as good as mine." She smiles, but keeps her vision on the view before her. "I thought maybe you left."

He draws the blanket around his shoulders.

Prue says "No, I just couldn't really find all of my clothes." Bane laughs, and Prue does likewise. "I'll help you—with Litvack. You just have to promise me that you'll turn yourself back in when it's all over." Bane looks down at his feet "Bane—"

Bane says "You know, I was thinking maybe this—us doesn't have to end. Maybe we can go somewhere where we can be together. Get away from all this—What do you say?"

Prue says "I would say that you're beginning to strike me as a dreamer." Bane moves in closer to hug Prue. They hug, and just as Prue is about to wrap her arm around Bane, he suddenly freezes. Prue looks at him, and takes a step back. "Bane—"

Piper and Phoebe walk down some stairs, and find Prue and Bane and Piper says "Oh... my... God!"

They both look at the situation in shock.

Prue says "Uh..." she looks at them in disbelief and in embarrassment "what are you guys doing here?"

Phoebe says "We're rescuing you—from the tall dark, and naked man."

Prue says "I told you to stay away."

She puts her hands on her hips.

Phoebe says "Yeah, now I know why. He is yummy." clears her throat

Piper says "I don't believe this! We've been frantic, worried sick about you thinking you've been kidnapped..."

Prue says "Yeah, I was..."

Piper points to the side of the bed and says "Panties."

Prue says "Oh, oh!" She rushes to the bedside and picks them up. "Huh, thanks. Look, uh, you guys have really got this all uh—" looks at her underwear in her hand "Wrong." hides it behind her back

Piper says "Yeah, we know. It's a 'trap'." frowns

Phoebe says "A tall, dark, and naked trap."

Prue says "All right, how did you two find me anyway?" walks away to pick up the rest of her clothing

Piper says "We'll explain that later. We really need to be going now because there's a demon behind this."

Prue says "Yeah, Litvack—wait, how did you know?"

Phoebe says "We have the weapon he used to break Bane out of jail."

Prue says "No, no, no, h-he, he, he tried to kill Bane in jail, not break him out."

Piper says "Or so Bane says."

Prue says "Well, I believe him, because one of the guys came here and tried to kill me."

Piper says "All the more reason we should be going now."

Prue says "Fine, then just unfreeze him."

Piper says "What? You want us to bring him along?"

Prue says "Well, yeah, I mean, I told him that I would help him. And I can't leave him here when everything I have to do is clearly at the manor."

Piper sighs, and although not agreeing with Prue, she unfreezes Bane. Bane unfreezes, and straightens up when Prue is not there. He pulls the blanket further over his shoulders as he turns around to see Piper and Phoebe looking at him.

Bane says "Well, Hello."

Phoebe says "Hello."

Piper says "Nice to see you again."

Phoebe says "Mmm hmm."

Piper says "Would you put some clothes on."

Bane goes to put on his clothes. Phoebe continues to look at him. Piper clears her throat and turns Phoebe around, while covering her eyes.

Halliwell Manor

Bane, Prue, Phoebe, and Piper walk into the room. Bane has on his shirt, and the front is stained with dried blood from his wound.

Bane says "Listen, do you guys have any peroxide and stuff? I think I should clean this up."

Prue says "Uh, yeah. Upstairs bathroom, medicine cabinet."

Bane says "Thanks."

He looks up at the stairs, and proceeds. Prue starts to walk to another room. Piper and Phoebe follow closely behind her.

Piper says "First I'd like to tell you how relieved I am you're okay."

Phoebe says "Me too."

Piper says "And second, I'd like to tell you that you have completely lost your mind."

Phoebe says "Completely lost your mind!"

Prue says "Okay, we have a demon to vanquish." She sits down

Piper says "You really want to help him?"

Prue says "Piper, past aside, I know an innocent when I see one. And, I trust him."

Phoebe says "Prue…"

Prue says "Phoebe, I'm going to help him."

Piper says "Think about this—how well do you really know him?"

Prue says "Regardless, Litvack has to be vanquished, whether Bane is on our side or not."

Phoebe says "It would be nice to know that ahead of time. Minimize the surprises."

Prue says "You really want to minimize them? Help me find Litvack in The Book of Shadows."

Prue begins to flip through the book.

Mariner's Bluff, lot 827

Litvack and his servant are inside Bane's dream house. Litvack has his eyes closed.

Manor: Bathroom

Bane opens the cabinet, and takes the bottle of peroxide out. He closes the cabinet door, when he sees Litvack's reflection in the mirror.

Litvack says "Hello Bane." Bane turns around in surprise. He looks around the room, but no one else is in it. "It's a telepathic image. I'm only in your mind."

Bane says "How did you find me?"

Litvack says "The essence—this dream house of yours reeks of it. It's a beautiful place. Too bad you won't live long enough to enjoy it."

Bane says "You don't scare me."

Litvack says "Sure I do. I scare everybody. For good reason."

Litvack at the dream house.

We see him standing still with his eyes closed.

Litvack says "By the way,"

Manor: Bathroom

Litvack is still talking "Your essence isn't the only one I sense here. You bedded a witch. And not just any witch, one of the Charmed Ones. My offer is simple. Your life in exchange for theirs but keep there cousin away at all costs."

Bane says "Screw you Litvack."

Litvack laughs and says "You can't hide from me. I can keep sending demons after you for an eternity, till one of them finally gets you." Bane punches Litvack's image and breaks the glass. "You know everything, better than you wish you did. I'm evil, just like you are. And you can't change that no matter what you do, or who you sleep with. It's who you are. Bring me the witches, and then bring me back my weapon. And I'll give you all your dreams."

Outside the bathroom

Prue is walking to the bathroom but on her way she sees the glowing shimmer of a flame. She gets ready to use her power as Michael and Zeke materialize in front of her. She swings her arm as the image of two people appears and sends the two boys flying into the wall. "Oh, I am so sorry guys."

Michael and Zeke get up and Michael says "You were definitely prepared that time."

"I'm sorry." Prue says

"It's cool." Michael and Zeke say together

Prue knocks on the bathroom door as Michael and Zeke go downstairs

As Prue knocks on the door she says "Bane, are you in there?"

Bane says "Yeah, yeah, I'll be right out." He buttons up his shirt and opens the door.

Prue says "Hi!" she laughs "I thought that you had skipped out on me or something."

Bane says "No I was uh washing up."

He closes the door and walks away. Prue stares after him. Then, after a moment of hesitation, she follows him downstairs.

Litvack and his servant at Bane's dream house

The Servant walks up to Litvack and says "So, is he going to do it or not?"

Litvack holds up his hand to silence his servant "Shhhhhh"

Manor

Phoebe says "I found Litvack in the book." Bane and Prue both walk in from the staircase, hand in hand "But there's nothing in here about how to vanquish him. Maybe that means there isn't a way."

Piper: Where there's a demon, there's a way. Prue and Bane sit down.

Michael says "Oh, there is defiantly a way."

Phoebe turns to Bane and says "Our jewelry better be where it's suppose to be."

Prue says "We need to focus on Litvack."

Piper says "Do we? I mean aside from the fact there's nothing in the book to help us maybe we should just let bad enough alone."

Phoebe says "What are you talking about?"

Piper says "I'm talking about our lives, Phoebe, as in saving them. This demon has powers we don't know about. Why go up against him unprepared, what's the rush? He doesn't know about us or anything…"

Bane says "Sure he does." Everyone turns to look at him. "I mean the demon he sent after us saw Prue's power right? You know he told Litvack."

Prue says "Yeah, but that doesn't mean that he knows about all three of us or Michael for that matter."

Bane says "Look, all I'm saying is he knows enough. I mean, you don't go after him, he comes after you.

Phoebe says "How can you be sure?"

Bane says "Because I know him…that's why. Better than I wish I did."

Phoebe says "Mmmm."

Piper says "Okay, still doesn't help us vanquish him."

Phoebe says "I just wish we knew what his other powers were."

Prue says "You don't know what they are?'

Bane says "No idea." There is a moment of silence. Prue, Piper, Michael, Zeke and Phoebe look at each other. Bane senses that they don't believe him. "Still have that weapon right?"

Piper says "What?"

Bane says "Might be your only hope."

Piper says "I thought only another demon could activate it."

Bane says "I got one to activate before, maybe I can do it again." They look at Michael who is lost in reading in the book and he senses he is being stared at and looks up.

Prue says "Yeah, he's right. That's how he took out the demon guard."

Phoebe says "So he says…"

Bane says "What! You think I'm lyin'"

Phoebe says "What do you think?"

Bane says standing up "I think I don't like your implications lady! I'm in this mess because Litvack tried to off me, remember? If you don't trust me, that's fine! I really don't care. But trust this! I've had it with all this supernatural crap, and I'll do anything I have to get out from underneath it."

Phoebe says "That's what worries me."

'Prue please do something, I have a headache and I have to help Andy with this case..' Michael says telepathically

Prue says "Okay, you know what? I trust him. And please, I'm just asking you guys to trust me. If we're going to get Litvack, then we're gonna have to work together—with Bane. Otherwise, we're all gonna be dead."

Piper says "Okay Phoebe, let's go get that weapon…come on." Piper grabs Phoebe's red sweater as she pulls her along. They walk off.

"Thank you." Michael says aloud putting the book on the table.

Bane says "I don't really know what to say."

Prue says "You don't have to say anything. I'll be right back."

She gives him a kiss on cheek. She walks off. Litvack suddenly appears in a mirror. Bane looks around to make sure none of the sisters are there.

Bane says to Litvack "We're on our way."

Michael gets up and follows where Bane is looking but sees nothing.

Cemetery

Prue says "He lives in a cemetery? How cliché."

All six of them are walking side by side.

Michael says "Yeah it makes it harder for a demon to find another demon in a cemetery."

Phoebe says "Well, at least it's not a warehouse again."

Piper says "Ah do we really think this is a good idea? We don't really have a plan."

Prue says "Um yeah! Sure we do. Bane goes in, we follow, you freeze Litvack, you get the weapon in his hand, turn it on him, I mean it's pretty simple."

Piper says "Still…"

Bane says "Maybe you should give me that weapon."

Phoebe says "Oh, I don't think so!"

Bane says "Listen, the guy wants me dead remember? The only way for me to stay alive long enough for our plan to work is to show him good faith."

Phoebe says "Double crossing us shows some pretty good faith too don'tcha think?"

Prue sighs in exasperation "Pheebs, we've been through this."

Phoebe says "Yeah, well, it doesn't change my mind Prue…"

Piper says "All right, give it to him, weather we're either doing this or not."

Piper hands Bane the weapon. He takes it.

"Okay can we hurry this up please?" Michael says.

Bane takes the weapon and says "Thank you." He walks up to a tomb with the engravings: Bowen (William) 1889-1979. He flips down the '9' in 1889, and it turns into a '6'. He flips down the first '9' in 1979, turning it into a '6', and lastly flips down the last '9' in 1979, turning it into another '6'. He opens the door to Litvack's lair. "You guys wait at the base of the step for my signal." He walks to Prue. "Trust me."

He turns away, and enters Litvack's lair.

Phoebe says "I hope we're not making a huge mistake."

Prue looks at her, and then turns to follow Bane. Phoebe, Piper, Michael and Zeke follow close behind.

Litvack's sitting on a chair, flipping through a very old, and thick book. The room is very dark, and the entrance is lit by a few torches placed in holes in the wall. His servant paces in front of him, fiddling with the weapon. Bane enters Litvack's room. Litvack's servant looks up.

Bane says "Hello Litvack."

Litvack says "Well, well." He closes the book he is flipping through "I was wondering when you were gonna show." Litvack puts a lock on the book he had just been reading. Bane looks back at the entrance, and then at the weapon in his hands. Prue, Piper, Michael, Zeke and Phoebe sneak past them in the background. They hide behind a wall.

Bane says "Before you kill me…"

Litvack's servant starts to shine the blue beam at Bane. Litvack looks at him.

Litvack says "It's all right."

Bane says "I wanted to give you something. Hopin' that -you'd spare me." He hands litvack the weapon

Litvack says "Hmm... I'm afraid it's gonna take much more than this." He laughs.

Bane says "Now!"

Piper sticks her hand out, and she freezes the whole room. She peeks behind the wall.

Prue says "That was easy!"

The three sisters come out from hiding.

Phoebe says "A little too easy."

Piper says "Let's just get this over with."

"Agreed I have things to do." Michael says

He and Piper walk cautiously towards Litvack, and is about to take the weapon from his hand, when he moves his hand away. She gasps, and he smiles. She quickly retreats to where Prue and Phoebe are dragging Michael with her. All three of them take a couple of steps back.

Piper says "Wh... he didn't freeze—he wh... he didn't freeze."

Litvack chuckles and says "I'm immune to the parlor tricks of witches. What's the matter? Bane didn't tell you about that power?"

Prue says "He said he didn't know."

Litvack stands up and says "He knew. He just didn't tell ya. He showed his true colors. His true evil colors."

He reaches his left hand out to his side, and a rotating triangular sphere of fire appears

Phoebe says "Prue, I just want you to know I am really pissed at you."

Prue says "No, no, no wait. Something isn't right."

Litvack says "This is going to please the source."

"Stop!" Michael commands and the sisters all look back.

"Show your self." Litvack says

"Put the fire ball out and I will." Michael says as he puts it out.

Michael walks out to reveal himself "My liege" Litvack says, unknown Jared flames in behind him and the sisters start to play along "With all due respect I don't answer to you." Michael nods and Jared flames away.

Prue realizing what Michael is doing says "Piper, unfreeze Bane!"

Piper says "Huh?"

Prue says "Hurry."

Piper says "Wha... Why?" Piper unfreezes Bane. He looks back at them, and at Litvack's servant, whose weapon is ready to be aimed. He goes behind him, takes the weapon in hand, and aims at Litvack. Prue sees him and smiles.

Prue says "Tell the source that we said 'hi'!"

Litvack turns around, only to find a beam of bluish purple light flash towards him. He is hit in the chest, and his own weapon sets off, hitting his servant.

Litvack says "Traitor!" he screams

Bane lets go of the weapon, and hits the back wall. Litvack and his servant exchange a few beams before they both disappear in a puff of fire. Prue runs to help Bane up.

Prue says "Are you okay?"

Bane says "Yeah."

Piper says "What just happened here?"

Phoebe looks at Michael and says "Yeah, what happened here? my liege."

Prue knowing Michael is going to be lectured saves him from talking by saying "Bane just saved our lives is what happened."

Phoebe says "Wait, are you saying that this all part of the plan? To make it look like you were double-crossing us?"

Bane says "I had to. If I had told you about his power, you would have come up with a different plan of attack. Litvack would have known it. He's telepathic, remember? So, he had to believe I double-crossed you. So you had to believe."

Piper says "How did you Prue would figure it out in time?"

Bane says "We uh trust each other. And I had Michael play along and tell her telepathically."

They smile at each other.

Piper says "Hmmm."

Phoebe says "Hmmm."

Prue looks back at them with a triumphant smile.

Prue says "Hmmm."

Michael and Zeke flame out

Halliwell Manor

Michael and Zeke flame in and Michael picks up a crystal and starts to spin it.

"What are you doing?" Zeke asks

"Trying to find your sister is what I am doing." Michael says. he pulls something out of his pocket "This necklace should be enough to concentrate the crystal."

"Where did you find that?" Zeke says

"From the evidence ward at the precinct." He admits

Suddenly the crystal starts to move faster, with the strength of power of the scrier, and it lands on the map "Does California Ave. mean anything to you?" Michael asks Zeke

"No, I mean we used to go by it all the time there is the building…oh my god." Zeke says running down the stairs.

As the two are scrying Prue and Bane are downstairs sitting on a white sofa.

Prue says "Strange, isn't it? Being back where we started?"

Bane says "Stranger to me is that I'm still here." he laughs

Prue says "It was really good of you to call Morris I just hope Andy doesn't find out he will freak out."

Bane says "I have to go back—it's the right thing to do. As much as I prefer not to. Listen, I don't know how much time I have so uh I really want to apologize."

Prue says "Don't. I'm not sorry at all."

Bane moves to hug Prue.

Bane says "So we're in an awkward part, you know?"

Prue says "Tell me about it."

Bane says "Well, next time, I'll call first huh?" he smiles

Prue says "Thank you for saving my life."

Bane says "Thank you for changing mine."

Prue moves onto Bane's lap, and gives him a hug. As they hear Michael and Zeke coming down the stairs

"Zeke wait." Michael says stopping Zeke by the door "We don't know who or what took her a year ago."

"I am saving my sister weather you are helping me or not." Zeke says

Prue gets off Bane's lap and gets the remote to turn the TV up to hear the news.

"A building on California Ave. is somehow burning. Police don't know what happened and the firefighters are still trying to put it out." The reporter says

"Oh my god." Michael says

"Shy." Zeke says grabbing Michaels hand "Take me there." And they flame out.

P3

Leo is serving some customers.

Phoebe and Piper sitting on a sofa Phoebe says "So who do you think is the source? That Litvack was talking about."

Piper says "I don't want to know. And boy did we read Bane wrong."

Phoebe says "Not surprising. We read all the signs wrong." She sees Prue "Hey!"

Prue says "Hey!"

Piper says "How'd it go?"

Prue sits down.

Prue says "Um, well, the cops came and took him away a little while ago. So, everything's back as it should be."

Phoebe says "Are you okay?"

Prue says "I'm fine. He thanked me for changing his life."

Phoebe says "Wow! You must have been a really good uh— " she raises her eyebrows

Piper says "Influence on him."

Prue smiles and says "I'm sure the influence was mutual. So, umm how did you guys find me anyway?"

Phoebe says "Umm I uh cast a little spell to help Piper find her love. It was suppose to help her decide between Dan and Leo, but it led us to you. Naked—I might add."

Piper says "I want you to know I tried to stop her."

Phoebe says "Yeah, and you probably would have too. If you weren't busy getting kidnapped."

Prue says "Yeah. Umm So, what was the outcome, Dan or Leo?"

Piper says "I never needed a sign to tell me where my heart lies."

She looks at Leo, and smiles. He looks back at her and smiles also. Piper looks back at Phoebe and Prue.

Phoebe sees Prue look a little nervous "Prue spill what's up?"

"Mikey and Zeke went to try and save a girl trapped in a building fire they flamed out before I could stop them." Prue says

"Lets go get them." Piper says

California Ave.

Michael and Zeke flame in near by and see Andy who walks up to them "What are you guys doing here?" Andy asks

"Andy, that girl is trapped in there." Michael says "You have to do something."

"I cant do anything Michael." Andy says

"Then I will." Michael says walking away towards a bush

"What are you doing, Mikey?" Zeke says

"Going to save your sister." Michael says

"Then I am coming with you." Zeke says

Michael nods and says "No, I don't want you to get hurt."

"And I don't want you getting hurt, we're a team we do things together." Zeke says

"Ok, come on." Michael says grabbing Zeke's hand and flaming them out.

They flame to inside the building and there is fire everywhere. They begin to walk and look when they hear someone say "Help me!"

Michael says "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah. Shy!" Zeke says as he approaches a girl coughing "Mikey, I found her."

Michael runs to her and tries to undo the ropes but they are in a tight knot. He places one hand under the rope and one on top and there is a blue-ish spark on the ropes as he makes an energy ball to cut them.

"Grab her." Michael says and they pick her up and head for the door

"You have to help my friend too he is over there please." She points to the other wall before slipping in unconsciousness.

Michael walks over there and sees a boy "She's right Zeke a boy is right here." Michael says. "Get her out of here." He says and Zeke gets her out

Outside

The sisters show up and see Zeke walk out with his sister they get out of the car.

"She needs medical attention." Zeke says as the paremedics take Shyanne. He walks over to the sisters "Where is Michael?" Prue asks

"Trying to save the boy in there." Zeke says

"What boy?" The sisters ask

A woman from the crowd says "Someone please you have to save my baby. He is in there please. He was taken last year and I know he is in there."

"Oh." Piper says

Inside

Michael runs to the boy and tries to untie his ropes "Hi." Michael says.

"Hi." The boy says followed by a cough

"Do you have a name?" Michael asks

"Austin." The boy says followed by another cough

"Come on, stay with me Austin." Michael says "Oh screw this." He cuts the ropes with an energy ball.

"How old are you buddy?" Michael asks

"10" Austin says "What…what's your name?" Austin asks

"Michael." Michael says picking him up.

They start to walk to the door when a piece of wood falls into there way.

"I'm scared Michael." Austin says

"I know you are bud, I am too." Michael says looking for a way out. He throws an energy ball at the wall and the wall breaks a little bit. He takes his jacket off and says "Get on my back." Austin gets on his back and Michael says "Hang on tight." He jumps on top of a couch that is on fire and holds his jacket up and jumps for the wall but something explodes as they are jumping and sends Michael and the boy flying into the wall.

Michael lands back first on the grass as the boy is hiding in Michael's arms.

No one noticed that the boy was there until he moved the jacket and stood up.

The sisters and Zeke all look at the boy Michael saved and then to Michael "Oh my god." Piper says

"Michael." Zeke yells running to him. He picks the boy up and Andy walks over and gets him. "Michael, come on." Zeke says as Michael just lies there unconscious. "Help!" Zeke yells as he feels for a pulse that is very faint.

Andy comes back and feels and tries to give him CPR. He lifts Michael up and moves him away from the building as the firefighters try to put it out.

Zeke walks back to the sisters and he has some tears in his eyes. Prue pulls him into a hug and the other two join in and all have there eyes closed.

Andy puts Michael down and feels some sharp things. "What the." He pulls out some splinters and a very sharp piece of glass that was in the grass when he fell.

As Andy pulls the glass out the wounds have a yellowish glow and are no longer there. Michael coughs and opens his eyes and says "Andy. The-the boy."

"Already been cleared." Andy says "Prue!"

Prue opens her eyes and sees Michael alive "Mikey?" they run to him. "Thank god your okay." She helps him up.

The boy is listening to Andy and Darryl

"Do you know this man?" Andy asks and Austin nods.

"Is he here?" Darryl asks.

The boy looks at the crowd and sees him but doesn't answer

"Poor kid is scared to death." Andy says to Darryl

"Maybe he'll talk to Michael or one of the sisters." Darryl says

Andy and turns around "Mike." Michael turns around "I need you a sec."

"Go ahead" Prue says and Zeke follows him.

Andy turns back to the boy "My friend Mike is going to talk to you a second is that all right?"

Austin doesn't say anything and Michael sits on the ambulance truck beside him.

"Hi." Michael says and the boy looks up and sees his rescuer.

"You saved me." Austin says

"Yes I did." Michael says "And now I need you to tell me how this all happened."

"Why not?" Michael asks sweetly and then says "Who are you afraid of?"

Austin looks in the crowd and sees his kidnapper standing there nodding his head side to side. "I-I don't know please he'll kill me."

"Who will." Zeke asks

"I cant he'll kill me." The Austin says.

"Bssp Zeke." Michael says getting his attention "Ask Prue if I could show Austin something."

Zeke walks over to Prue "Hey, Michael want to know if he can show Austin something."

Prue wonders what he is talking about and then hears Michael say 'Look Prue this boy is scared to death he'll only talk to me I have to show him I can protect him.'

"Tell him ok." Prue says

Zeke walks back to Michael "She said ok."

Michael looks around seeing everyone pre-occupied and he holds his hand out "Zeke cover me." Zeke stands in front of Michael who is out of everyone's view except for the sisters. Michael creates an energy ball and says "I can protect you but only if you trust me."

Austin nods and Michael picks him up and carries him over to the sisters He puts Austin down beside Prue and says "I need you to tell me who is trying to hurt you. Please."

"I'm afraid." Austin says. The man that took him sees them.

"Ok I will be right back." Michael says getting up as a car shows up "Austin?" someone says.

"Dad." Austin says running to him.

"Oh thank you thank god your all right." He says

"That man over there saved me daddy his name is Michael." Austin says and his father looks over at Michael and the sisters.

He walks up to them "Thank you Michael."

"No problem just doing my job." Michael says "Take care." Austin and his dad leave.

Michael walks up to the sister and Zeke walks up to him "Thank you Michael." Zeke says.

"Hey what are friends for right?" Michael says "I just wish she was awake to talk to you if only I had gotten here sooner maybe she would be."

"You risked your whole life to go in there and find her and save her friend. If you had gotten here earlier you wouldn't have been able to get out." Zeke says and hugs him "I'm just glad you're ok."

"I'm glad you're ok." Michael repeats
