Misery Loves The 21st Company

Teaser

[Scene: Piper and Leo’s house. Living room. LEO WYATT is sitting on the couch, reading the Obituary section of “The Bay Mirror.” In a small box near the center of the page bold letters read, “Lillian Everett, Beloved Mother.”]

[Flashback: Eighteen-year-old LEO, dressed in a World War Two uniform, is standing with a beautiful young woman with curled, shoulder length blonde hair, LILLIAN WYATT, in the middle of a crowded train station, with many other young men also in World War Two uniforms. LILLIAN suddenly throws her arms around LEO and begins to cry. LEO hugs LILLIAN.]

LEO: Don’t worry, I’ll be back before you know it. (He wipes the tears from her cheeks with his thumb.) Then we can start our family.

LILLIAN: (crying) Promise?

LEO: I promise. (They kiss. A whistle sounds.) I’ve got to go.

(LILLIAN nods and LEO gets onto the train. She waves to him as the train takes off and he waves back until he can’t see her anymore.)

[Cut back to the present. A tear runs down LEO’s cheek as he reads the obituary, “Funeral services will be held today at Memorial Cemetery, at 1:00 pm. Lillian Everett, born Lillian Willows on June 23, 1924 in San Francisco, passed away Saturday, August 16, 2003. She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Everett, and survived by two children, Nannie Everett-Woodsen and Vance Everett, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.” LEO sets down the newspaper and wipes his eyes with his plaid sleeve as PIPER HALLIWELL enters the room. She sits down next to her husband and places her hand on his leg.]

PIPER: (worriedly) Leo?

(LEO turns to her, his eyes red, and hugs her. PIPER’s expression is a mixture of surprise and concern. She tentatively wraps her arms around him.)

LEO: (crying) She’s gone.

PIPER: (quietly) Who?

LEO: (crying) Lilli.

[Scene: Memorial Cemetery. A glossy cherry wood casket is positioned at the front of the room. On a table near the casket is a large picture of LILLIAN in her elderly years, with cloud-like silver curling hair and a warm smile. Surrounding the pictures, and the casket, are flowers, especially pink and white lilies. A few inches away from the large photograph of LILLIAN is a smaller frame, with a collage of pictures including LILLIAN as a young woman, LILLIAN as a bride marrying ROBERT EVERETT, LILLIAN in the hospital holding her new son with her young daughter at her side, LILLIAN at Christmas with her grandchildren, and LILLIAN in a wheelchair holding her first great-grandchild. Across from the casket are rows of chairs, leading almost all the way to the back of the room. One of the doors at the back opens and an older woman, NANNIE EVERETT-WOODSEN - mid to late fifties - dressed in a conservative black dress and heels, enters carrying a wreath of red roses. The woman has blonde hair with streaks of gray. Behind her, a man, VANCE EVERETT - younger, probably in his early fifties - also enters. He’s carrying two more fold-up chairs which he starts to set up at the end of the last row. The graying blonde moves to the casket, where she lays the rose wreath atop the bottom half. As she stares at the casket, she starts to cry. The man abandons the chairs and moves to her side, hugging her.]

VANCE: (whispering) Nan, it’s okay.

NANNIE: (crying) I just (she hiccups through tears) I just miss her so much, Vance.

(VANCE rubs his sister’s back.)

VANCE: (whispering) Shh…it’s alright, she’s with Dad now…she’s happy and she’s not in pain anymore.

(NANNIE buries her head into VANCE’s shoulder.)

NANNIE: (crying) I know it’s selfish…but I j-j-just want her b-b-ack.

[Cut to behind a stone pillar at the back of the room. A demon pokes his head out. He watches VANCE hug NANNIE as she cries. The demon sniffs the air hungrily, then holds out his hand and forms it into a claw. Midnight blue swirls start to radiate off of NANNIE and VANCE and file into a swirling line as they swim across the room and absorb into the demon’s hand. The demon’s eyes roll back in his head in a type of ecstasy as he savors the pulsating light from LILLIAN’s grieving children.]

Act One

[Scene: Piper and Leo’s house. Master bedroom. PIPER is standing in front of the mirror, attempting to zip up the back of her knee length black dress. On her night stand, the red light next to the “Speaker” button is lit.]

PIPER: I’m sorry Phoebe, but I can’t. We’ve had something come up.

[Scene: Manor. Kitchen. PHOEBE HALLIWELL is sitting at the table. The table is covered in newspaper want ads. A bag of ridged potato chips is sitting next to PHOEBE on top of one of the ads and on the other side is a small container of onion dip. PHOEBE has her glasses on, the cordless phone tucked between her ear and her shoulder, and her hair pulled into a messy bun as she dips her chip into the dip and eats it.]

PHOEBE: Who’s funeral? Is it someone we know? How come I didn’t know about this?

PIPER's VOICE: Do you remember Lillian?

PHOEBE: Lillian?

PIPER's VOICE: Leo’s first wife.

(PHOEBE’s hand stops before dips another chip into her onion dip.)

PHOEBE: (surprised) It’s her funeral? How did you even find out about it?

PIPER's VOICE: Leo saw the obituary in the paper…he’s pretty beat up about it, but he wanted to go to the funeral anyway.

PHOEBE: Oh… (She takes the cordless phone in her hand as she adjusts herself in her seat.) Tell him I’m sorry. (pause) I can just take the bus or something. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have called.

PIPER's VOICE: It’s alright, it was really last minute for us too.

PHOEBE: I’ll let you go then. Bye.

(PHOEBE hangs up and hops out of her seat, moving to the phone charger on the island. PAIGE MATTHEWS orbs in, causing PHOEBE to bump right into her.)

PAIGE: Ow!

(PHOEBE wrinkles her nose.)

PHOEBE: Well sorry, you weren’t there two seconds ago. (PAIGE rubs her nose as she steps out of PHOEBE’s way. PHOEBE places the cordless phone in the charger as PAIGE moves to the table and starts lifting up her newspapers.) Hey! (She runs over and grabs the newspapers from PAIGE.) I had those in a specific order!

PAIGE: Well, I left something here this morning… (She lifts up another paper as PHOEBE tries to set the first one PAIGE disturbed back.) …and if you didn’t have all these want ads everywhere, maybe I’d be able to find it.

PHOEBE: Well I apologize for trying to find a job, (sarcastically) I guess it’s not that important.

(PAIGE stops her quest and looks up.)

PAIGE: Well, no offense Pheebs, but is it really? I mean-

PHOEBE: If you’ve forgotten, we do have a baby coming. And Prue-

PAIGE: Is going on maternity leave soon. (She nods.) I know, I know. (She sighs.) I’m just saying, you shouldn’t drive yourself crazy about it. It’s not like you don’t have money.

PHOEBE: Uh…I don’t have money.

(PAIGE bites her lip.)

PAIGE: I wouldn’t call what Cole left you nothing.

(PHOEBE stops in her tracks.)

PHOEBE: I’d give it all up if I could have him back.

(PAIGE shakes her head.)

PAIGE: That’s not what I meant! (She sighs again.) I just mean, we’re getting by at the moment, and you in particular aren’t in desperate need of a job. (She motions to the want ads.) You’ve been pouring over these things for weeks as if your life depended on it and there’s no need for that.

(PHOEBE looks down at the floor.)

PHOEBE: It just doesn’t feel right to me to spend Cole’s money. (pause) I know you probably think that’s crazy, but it just doesn’t feel right to me…like I’d be giving away his things or something.

PAIGE: If he didn’t want you to use it to take care of yourself, I don’t think he would’ve left it to you. (PHOEBE opens her mouth to respond, but PAIGE holds up a silencing finger.) But for what it’s worth, I understand what you mean. (She nods sympathetically.) I went through something similar when my parents died and I was left with all their things. (She gives PHOEBE a little hug.) You’ll know what to do with everything in time.

PHOEBE: Thank you for understanding.

PAIGE: Sure. (She gives her sister a quick hug. As they break from their hug, PAIGE notices a piece of white paper sticking out from under one of PHOEBE’s want ads.) Aha! (She lifts up the paper and finds the copy of a birth certificate.) Gotcha! (She turns around.) Well, I’ve gotta get back to work. I guess I’ll see you later?

PHOEBE: Yep.

(PAIGE orbs out. PHOEBE sighs. Her eye catches a picture on a non-want ad piece of the newspaper that she’d separated on the island earlier. It’s a picture of a fat man with a smug look on his face. She picks up the paper and holds it to her face. Under the picture the caption reads, “Spencer Ricks.” To the left of his picture is a bold title reading, “Ask: At Your Own exSPENCE!” PHOEBE’s eyes travel down the page until she comes to a question that reads, “Hey Spence, I’ve got this problem with my old lady and I need some advice. She’s suddenly become ‘feminist,’ always going off about her ‘the power of a woman’ and her ‘inner goddess.’ It’s really starting to get on my nerves, what should I do? Your Man, Masculine in Millbrae.” PHOEBE adjusts her glasses as she skips down to the response. Her mouth drops open as she reads, “Masculine, is she hot? If she’s hot, just ignore the blabber. It’s a given with chicks. The important thing is that her inner goddess still cooks and cleans.” PHOEBE’s eyes flash dangerously as she scrunches up the handful of newspaper in her grip and stomps out of the kitchen.)

[Scene: 415 Magazine. Prue’s office. PRUE HALLIWELL is on the phone when there’s a knock at her door. She pauses and looks up as another knock is heard.]

PRUE: (into the phone) Uh, can you hold on just a second? (She covers the mouth piece.) Come in! (The door opens, revealing GIL CORSO.) Gil!

(GIL notices the telephone in her hand.)

GIL: Am I interrupting something?

PRUE: I was just on the phone with my four o’ clock shoot for tomorrow. She wants to reschedule because her son’s come down with something.

GIL: There seems to be a lot of that going around. (He holds up a paper.) That’s actually what I came to talk to you about.

(PRUE holds up her finger.)

PRUE: One sec. (into the phone) Charla? (pause) Yes, that would be fine. (pause) Okay, alright, see you then. (She hangs up and returns her attention to her boss.) Okay, now what did you need?

GIL: As I was saying, Judy’s come down with the stomach flu and left early. (He moves to her desk and drops the paper he came in with.) So I need you to fill in with this afternoon’s shoot.

(PRUE lifts the paper up to read it.)

PRUE: An exposé on local celebrities?

(GIL looks at his watch.)

GIL: There will be about fifteen of San Francisco’s celebrities featured in the three page spread-

PRUE: (shocked) And you want me to do all the them?

GIL: Of course not. Rupert and Mary will be there to. You’ll each have five of the fifteen.

(PRUE folds her arms over her pregnant belly.)

PRUE: And I’m sure this will involve significant overtime, yes?

(GIL’s nose twitches. PRUE holds a firm stare and finally he nods.)

GIL: Yes, there will be overtime.

PRUE: (pointedly) Significant.

GIL: And you’ll do it?

PRUE: Yes.

GIL: Good. (He taps his watch.) You have fifteen minutes until your first celebrity is ready. (He leaves. PRUE lets out a little groan as she grabs her camera bag from the floor.)

[Scene: Memorial Cemetery. Parking lot. Cars are packed everywhere. People of all different ages, men and women, in a multitude of ethnic backgrounds, are getting out of their cars and heading up the walkway towards the building in front of gated off cemetery.]

[Cut to the viewing hall. There’s a low amount of quiet chatter in the room as LEO enters, dressed in a black suit and tie. He holds the door open and PIPER pushes in a stroller with the top down. Behind her, MELINDA HALLIWELL and CHRIS HALLIWELL also enter. Two-thirds of the seating is already taken, leaving about three rows on both sides in the back of the room. LEO takes a seat in the very last row on the left on the second chair the isle. MELINDA and CHRIS scoot past him and take chairs to the left of their father, while PIPER takes the seat next to the isle, so she can have room for the stroller to sit next to her. A crowd of mourners file in through the back doors, many of whom were just in the parking lot, and quickly fill up most of the remaining chairs in the room. Gradually, the noise level in the room drops and soon a MINISTER walks out and the room gets completely quiet as he takes his place at a podium to the left of LILLIAN’s casket, which is now open for viewing.]

MINISTER: Truthfully, I cannot preach at this service for Lillian Everett; she did that while she was alive. (He opens his Bible.) Romans fourteen-seven states, “For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth himself.” For Lillian, this was especially true. She touched the lives of each and every person she came in contact with. She possessed a kindness that few souls have and with that gift, she was able to bridge a relationship with anyone her path crossed. As a result, each one of us had been touched and bettered by our time with her.

(LEO chokes up. PIPER takes LEO’s hand and holds it. MELINDA reaches into her compact black purse and pulls out a few tissues which she passes to her father. LEO takes them and dabs his eyes and nose.)

MINISTER: We have to remember that Lillian is not leaving us today, her body is simply being laid to rest, but her soul lives on in each of us, in our memories and the love we shared for and with her. (A gentle crying becomes audible in the room, but it’s coming from the front row, from NANNIE.) There are probably a great many things some of you have not thought about in the last few days, months, or maybe even years that are suddenly flooding back to you today…and that’s okay. Remember, those memories are Lillian’s way of staying alive and it’s a good thing to be reliving them.

[Cut to behind one of the pillars at the back of the viewing hall. The demon who’d been spying on NANNIE and VANCE is now spying on the entire room of viewers. He lifts his nose to sniff the air, then a sick grin twists onto his thin lips. He holds out both his hands and pulsating blue swirls begin to lift from the ground and course into his hands.]

[Cut back to the minister.]

MINISTER: I know we’re all feeling great amounts of sorrow and grief and pain right now, but we have to keep in mind that love is also here. We all gathered here for one beautiful soul who has touched each of our hearts and minds. We must seek happiness in the time we were able to spend with her and not look lose ourselves in this bleak present.

(MELINDA lightly touches her father’s arm and rubs his shoulder. LEO doesn’t seem to register the gesture, instead his eyes are fixated on the cherry wood casket at the front of the room. MELINDA leans over to CHRIS.)

MELINDA: (whispering) He’s more upset than I imagined him to be.

CHRIS: (whispering) And you wouldn’t be? (telepathically) He did marry her, after all. She was his first love.

MELINDA: (telepathically) I know…I guess I just never realized how much he could care for anyone like that who wasn’t Mom.

(CHRIS makes a discrete zipping motion across his forehead with his fingers.)

CHRIS: (telepathically) You’re distracting me, (he nods to the front of the room) just pay attention right now. (He turns his attention back to the MINISTER. MELINDA exhales quietly, eyeing her crying father from her peripheral vision. She lays a comforting hand on his knee.)

[Scene: South Bay Social Services. Paige’s cubicle. PAIGE is at her computer. A picture of the Great Wall of China has been pulled up online. PAIGE is staring at it. BILLY TANNON comes up, pushing his mail cart.]

BILLY: Do you have any mail today? (PAIGE doesn’t answer. BILLY awkwardly scratches his head.) Paige?

(BILLY shifts his eyes back and forth then leans forward and taps her on the shoulder. PAIGE screeches and jumps out of her chair. The reaction makes BILLY jump, falling into his mail cart and causing both him and the cart to topple backwards. PAIGE’s face turns bright red.)

PAIGE: Oh my god! (She bends over, holding out a hand for BILLY.) I’m so sorry! (BILLY takes her hand and she helps him up. BILLY smiles sheepishly.)

BILLY: I didn’t mean to startle you.

(PAIGE bends down, scooping up his mail as BILLY picks up the cart itself.)

PAIGE: It’s my fault, I guess I’ve just been pretty distracted these last few days.

BILLY: Does it have to do with that Glenn guy again?

(PAIGE smiles lightly as she drops his mail back into the cart.)

PAIGE: You know me too well.

BILLY: I’m sure things will work out in time.

PAIGE: (doubtfully) Yeah…

BILLY: So…did you have any mail for me?

PAIGE: Oh! (She turns around and opens her drawer.) Actually, (she holds up a puffy sealed yellow envelope) I do. (She drops it into his cart.) Thanks, Billy.

BILLY: Any time.

(BILLY pushes the cart away. PAIGE sits back down at her chair. She rubs her eyes and looks at the picture again and hovers her mouse over the “X” in the corner of her screen. She chews her lip and finally left clicks, closing the picture.)

BREAK

[The Virtual Series]

Act Two

[Scene: Memorial Cemetery. Viewing hall. There is a line of people arching around the fold up chairs leading up to the open casket and LILLIAN’s living family members. The line is moving slowly as people pay their respects to LILLIAN, some even doing silent prayers at her side, and then moving on to shake hands and pay their respects to the family. LEO finally gets up to the casket and leans over, seeing LILLIAN’s aged face and gray curls haloing her head. Her hands are folded neatly across her chest. LEO reaches down and touches the side of her face, feeling the skin cold and waxy to his touch.]

[Flashback: Dawn is breaking and LEO is leaning against a tree, attempting to use the stray rays of light to write a letter. “Dear Lilli, there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you and wish I could touch your sweet face. I miss you so much. It probably sounds selfish, but I can’t wait to come home. I just want to be in your arms again.” He lifts his eyes towards the sky and sighs. He quickly signs, “I promise to write again soon. Until then, I love you. Forever Yours, Leo.”]

[Cut back to the present. LEO flinches as PIPER touches his arm. He steps away from the casket and shakes hands with NANNIE. He moves onto VANCE.]

LEO: (quietly) I’m sorry for your loss.

(VANCE narrows his eyes.)

VANCE: I’m sorry, I don’t think I recognize you…how did you know my mother?

(LEO smiles painfully.)

LEO: We were old friends.

(VANCE seems to study LEO.)

VANCE: What’s your name, Sir?

LEO: Leo. (He notices PIPER’s worried look from the corner of his eye.) Again, I’m truly sorry. Lilli was an amazing woman. (He quickly walks away leaving PIPER, MELINDA, anc CHRIS to take turns paying their respects to the Everett family.)

[Cut to behind a pillar. The DEMON is still absorbing the blue auras from the mourners at the funeral, but as LEO walks by, his eyes quickly snap away from the mourners and onto LEO. He sniffs the air and holds out his hand. A turquoise colored light shimmies off LEO. The demon grins.]

DEMON: A whitelighter! (He licks his lips.) Now this is a special treat.

(The DEMON steps out from behind the pillar and begins to nonchalantly follow LEO to the doors. LEO and the DEMON exit the doors and LEO begins to head towards the parking lot, where he still doesn’t notice the DEMON following him.)

[Cut back to the viewing hall. CHRIS and MELINDA are following their mother to the doors. CHRIS grabs the door in a gentlemanly fashion for PIPER, who pushes the stroller out and continues to hold it open as his sister exits. PIPER looks around for LEO as she’s walking.]

MELINDA: I don’t see him.

CHRIS: He probably went to the car. (They head for the parking lot. PIPER spots LEO in the crowd.)

PIPER: (calling) Leo! (He doesn’t turn around.) Leo! (Still, LEO doesn’t notice.)

MELINDA: (yelling) Dad!

(LEO stops and looks back. The DEMON also looks back, but when he sees PIPER and the Twins heading in his general direction, he quickly heads to the left, pretending he has somewhere else to go. He stops near a parked white van and watches as PIPER hugs LEO. He rolls his eyes.)

DEMON: Fine, I can wait…pain like yours is what I’m constantly looking for and I’m not giving it up that easily whitelighter.

[Scene: Manor. Dining room. PHOEBE is seated at the dining table with her laptop. Her face is twisted into a furious glare as she leans close to her computer screen, furiously typing. The beginning of her Word document reads, “Hey Ricks, I’ve got news for you! This is the twenty-first century and women can’t be treated as doormats anymore! You know, it’s chauvinistic, sexist turkeys like yourself that say things like what you did to ‘Masculine in Millbrae’ that make real men look bad.”]

[Scene: 415. Photo studio. RUPERT MANNING is talking to two very pretty women in their mid to late twenties. PRUE is sitting at a table on the other end of the room, strumming her nails. Three cameras are set up at three different backdrops, with curtains between each. MARY GRANT walks in carrying a cardboard cup holder with three coffee cups, but only two are producing steam. She walks over to PRUE and hands her the non-steaming cup.]

MARY: I realized once I got down there that you couldn’t have coffee and I wasn’t sure about the teas they had, so I just opted for chocolate milk, I hope that’s okay.

(PRUE waves her hand dismissively.)

PRUE: That’s fine. (She takes a sip.) You didn’t really have to get me anything at all, so this is actually a nice surprise. (She licks her lips.) And very chocolately, too!

(RUPERT walks over, lifting his eyebrows at PRUE.)

RUPERT: Coffee while pregnant? (He takes one of the cups from MARY’s holder without looking at her and wiggles his finger at PRUE.) You should know better, Prue!

(PRUE and MARY exchange irritated looks as RUPERT tilts his head back to take a drink of his coffee. An overweight man, SPENCER RICKS, waddles into the doorway. RUPERT pulls his coffee cup down just in time to see. He grins.)

RUPERT: Oh Prue, look! (He points excitedly.) There’s your last celebrity! (He winks.) Have fun!

(RUPERT tilts his coffee back to take another drink as he starts to walk off. PRUE curls her fist and the lid pops off of RUPERT’s drink, dumping hot coffee all over the front of his shirt. He yelps and goes bounding out of the room as several people turn, point, and laugh. MARY covers her mouth in amusement.)

MARY: Talk about karma!

(PRUE looks a little embarrassed.)

PRUE: Yeah, I’m not so sure. (MARY gives her an odd look, but PRUE brushes it off and changes the subject.) So…who’s the Burger King?

(MARY glances over at SPENCER, who’s feverishly eating a greasy burger.)

MARY: (distastefully) You mean you don’t know? (PRUE shakes her head.) Only the most well known sexist pig San Francisco has to offer. (She sets her coffee and now empty cup holder down on the table across from PRUE.) He’s an advice columnist for “The San Francisco Ledger” and is notorious for being controversial. (She shakes her head.) I honestly don’t know how someone so slimy even managed to make it into this article.

(Across the room, SPENCER balls up his empty wrapper and throws it at a trashcan. It misses and bounces off, falling onto the floor. He stares at it, but doesn’t pick it up. He proceeds to waddle up to PRUE and MARY.)

SPENCER: So, which one of you two broads is Hallowell?

(PRUE stands up, meeting his eyes head on.)

PRUE: (through gritted teeth) That’s Ms. (emphasizing) Halliwell to you. (She storms past him towards her camera. SPENCER looks at MARY amusedly.)

SPENCER: Ooh, she’s a testy one, ain’t she?

[Scene: 5240 Petracca Street. Two police cars are there when PAIGE’s lime green VW Bug pulls up. She parks behind one of the police cars and gets out, looking alarmed as she walks up to the house. She sees a crying and beaten blonde woman - CAROLYN SELDON -, two officers, and DARRYL MORRIS on the porch. She rushes up, only to have one of the officers stop her.]

OFFICER: I’m sorry, ma’am, but you can’t-

CAROLYN: (crying) Paige!

(DARRYL holds up his hand, nodding.)

DARRYL: She’s fine.

OFFICER #2: (to Darryl) You know her?

PAIGE: I’m Carolyn’s social worker, Paige Matthews with South Bay. (She steps onto the porch and hugs CAROLYN.) What’s going on here?

(The officers look to DARRYL, who nods.)

OFFICER: We received a domestic disturbance call from a neighbor, directing us to this address. When we got here, we found Mrs. Seldon-

PAIGE: Ms. She’s not married to that jerk anymore. (She earns a look from DARRYL. PAIGE clears her throat.) She’s not married.

OFFICER: Well, we found Ms. Seldon unconscious on the floor and after inspecting the house, we also discovered one of the screens on back of the house to be slashed-

CAROLYN: (sobbing) He took Julian!

PAIGE: (alarmed) What?!

OFFICER #2: We have officers out looking for Julian and his father as we speak, Ms. Matthews.

PAIGE: That’s not good enough! You don’t understand how dangerous Marcus Seldon is!

OFFICER: Ms. Matthews, we’re doing everything we can-

(PAIGE looks at DARRYL, ignoring the officers.)

PAIGE: Darryl, I want Carolyn taken to Bay General to be treated for her injuries right now. Meanwhile, I need to see Julian’s room.

(The officers look at DARRYL, who waves his hand.)

DARRYL: You heard her, take Ms. Seldon down to Bay General. Now!

(CAROLYN clings to PAIGE.)

CAROLYN: No, Paige, please don’t leave me!

PAIGE: You’ll be fine, Carolyn. I’ll be down to the hospital as soon as I can. (She hugs her.) I promise I’m going to find your son! (CAROLYN is escorted away with the police officers while PAIGE and DARRYL enter the house. Once DARRYL shuts the door, he folds his arms as PAIGE heads for towards the back of the house.)

DARRYL: What is it this time?

(PAIGE turns around.)

PAIGE: What?

DARRYL: What demon did this?

PAIGE: A demon named Marcus Seldon.

DARRYL: Her husband’s a demon?

PAIGE: A human demon. (She shakes her head.) He can’t control his anger and ends up taking it out on Carolyn and Julian. The beatings got so bad that she eventually turned to hardcore drugs for comfort and it wasn’t until Julian’s first grade teacher noticed the bruising on his arms did the police get notified.

DARRYL: How long ago was this? (They start walking.)

PAIGE: About a year and a half ago. Julian was taken into a foster home for a year while Carolyn went into rehab and Marcus was placed in prison. She was awarded custody back about a month after her successful completion of her rehabilitation, so long as she moved in with her mother. (They enter a room, painted in blue.)

DARRYL: So this is her mother’s house?

PAIGE: Mhmm. (She starts looking around at the boy’s toys that are littering the ground.) She’d been doing great until this last month when she started having panic attacks because she was informed that Marcus was getting out soon. (She shakes her head.) I told her that he didn’t know where they were…at least I thought he didn’t. (She touches her forehead.) God, how could I have been so stupid? He’s smart, that’s why it took him so long before anyone realized how abusive he was in the first place. He just got careless.

DARRYL: So, if this is not demonic, then what are we doing in here?

(PAIGE pulls back the hot wheels bed sheets and lifts up the pillow. She takes a step and notices something poking out from under the red skirt. She leans down and grabs it, pulling out a G.I. Joe and holds it up for DARRYL to see.)

PAIGE: Because I need reinforcements.

[Scene: Inside Piper’s green jeep. PIPER is driving and LEO is in the passenger seat, staring aimlessly out the window. PIPER glances in the rearview mirror, seeing CHRIS and MELINDA sitting next to each other in the middle of the back seat and the car seats containing BABY MELINDA HALLIWELL and BABY CHRIS HALLIWELL sitting next to their respective future selves. PIPER returns her attention to the road.]

LEO: (quietly) That minister was right.

(PIPER glances over at her husband.)

PIPER: About what?

LEO: (quietly) Just thinking about her, my old life, it’s bringing back memories I haven’t thought about in years.

MELINDA: Like what, Dad?

(LEO continues to stare out the window.)

LEO: (quietly) Did I ever tell you why I wanted to become a doctor in the first place?

(PIPER shakes her head.)

PIPER: I don’t think so.

LEO: (quietly) It was for my father…

[Flashback: Three-year-old LEO is seated on a chair in a hospital room. His father, CHRISTOPHER WYATT, is seated in a chair next to the bed. Clasped between CHRISTOPHER’s hands is the limp hand of a beautiful blonde woman, REBECCA WYATT, who appears to be sleeping yet her chest is not moving. CHRISTOPHER is crying as he hangs over his deceased wife. He takes one hand away from the back of hers and begins to stroke her wavy blonde stresses, while his other shaking hand holds onto her flaccid one. LITTLE LEO struggles to climb off the chair and walk over to his father. He lightly tugs on his father’s shirt and CHRISTOPHER, with a tear stained face, turns his head to look down at his son.]

LITTLE LEO: It’s o-tay, Daddy.

(LITTLE LEO blinks innocently. CHRISTOPHER gently lays REBECCA’s hand down on the bed and scoops his son up onto his lap. LITTLE LEO looks at his mother briefly before his father wraps him into a hug and continues to cry. LITTLE LEO wraps his arms around his father’s neck and squeezes his blue eyes shut.)

[Cut back to the present. LEO blinks his wet eyes and wipes them with the sleeve of his black jacket.]

LEO: (quietly) She died of Tuberculosis when I was three. (He looks down at his hands.) It’s the earliest memory I have. I can remember so vividly wishing I could take his pain away…and as I got older, I wanted to become a doctor so I could save people from going through the type of pain my dad went through after my mother died.

(PIPER looks like she doesn’t know what to say.)

PIPER: (softly) I’m so sorry, Leo…I never knew.

LEO: (quietly) I’m afraid there are a lot of things you don’t know about me…

[The Virtual Series]

Act Three

[Scene: 415 Magazine. Photo studio. MARY is nibbling on apple slices sprinkled with salt when PRUE comes up and sits down, retrieving a turkey sandwich without mayo from a brown paper sack. She unfolds the plastic wrap and takes a large bite and swallows.]

PRUE: This delayed lunch break could not have come soon enough! (She looks across the room at SPENCER, who is talking with a young man who is waving his arms emphatically.) I was about ready to strangle that guy! Who the hell does he think he is?

MARY: He’s the poster child for the awful male stereotype.

PRUE: I just keep telling myself, only two shoots left and I’m done. (She takes another bite of her sandwich. Across the room, the little man next to SPENCER is still waving his arms and speaking a mile a minute.)

SPENCER's ASSISTANT: …she was a raving lunatic! Flailing her arms and demanding to speak with you face to face! I swear, I thought she was going to kill someone! We finally had to have security escort her off the premises!

(SPENCER pops a few greasy fries into his mouth.)

SPENCER: Well what did you expect? Women can’t handle the truth, the amount of hate mail and death threats I get prove that. (He stuffs a few more fries into his fat mouth. In the doorway, PHOEBE marches in, spots PRUE, and heads over to her sister.)

PRUE: (surprised) Pheebs! What are you doing here?

(PHOEBE sits down next to MARY.)

PHOEBE: I hope you don’t mind, when you weren’t in your office I stopped by Natalia’s and she said you were down here and would probably be having a late lunch any time.

PRUE: Well you caught me; I have about ten minutes left. What’s up?

PHOEBE: I came to rant. (She heaves a breath.) You will never believe what happened to me today! I ran across the most chauvinistic turkey you will ever meet!

PRUE: Well, that’s a coincidence, because the same thing happened to me.

PHOEBE: Oh, I doubt it. (She pulls out a folded newspaper clipping from her purse and hands it to PRUE.) Read that and tell me your blood doesn’t boil. (As PRUE unfolds the newspaper clipping, PHOEBE lazily looks around the room. Her eyes pop as she sees SPENCER talking to his assistant across the room.)

PRUE & PHOEBE: You’ve got to be kidding me! (PHOEBE points across the room at the same time PRUE holds up the paper, pointing to SPENCER’s picture.) That’s him! (They look at each other.) What?

(At that moment, SPENCER's ASSISTANT turns around and sees PHOEBE at the table with PRUE and MARY. His mouth drops open as he points.)

SPENCER's ASSISTANT: Oh my god, it’s her!

[Scene: Manor. Attic. PAIGE and DARRYL are there. PAIGE is standing over the table, holding JULIAN’s G.I. Joe in her hand with the scrying crystal draped over it. She’s dangling the crystal over a map of San Francisco, but the crystal just keeps spinning.]

PAIGE: I don’t understand, Marcus isn’t magical, so he shouldn’t have the power to block the scrying crystal.

DARRYL: Maybe a demon’s helping him?

(PAIGE shakes her head.)

PAIGE: That doesn’t make sense…

(DARRYL narrows his eyes.)

DARRYL: Maybe you’re not looking at the right map?

PAIGE: Excuse me? (DARRYL spots a globe. He grabs it and sets it on top of PAIGE’s San Francisco map.) Darryl, he just got out of prison, I doubt he has the finances for world travel yet.

(DARRYL spins the globe and brings it to a stop where the United States is located. He turns it so the U.S. is facing up and points to California.)

DARRYL: Try that.

(PAIGE eyes him, then hovers the crystal over the state. A moment later, the crystal jerks to the right, crossing the California-Nevada border and hovers in Nevada, before slowly pulling downwards.)

PAIGE: Nevada!

DARRYL: He’s probably heading for Vegas. (DARRYL points at the crystal and moves his finger down to Southern Nevada to point in the general direction of Las Vegas.) It’s a great place for criminals to get lost. (He pulls out his cell phone and begins to dial a number.)

PAIGE: What are you doing?

DARRYL: Calling the station, I’m going to tell them I got an anonymous tip-

PAIGE: I have a faster way. (She grabs DARRYL’s hand and they orb out.)

[Scene: Piper and Leo’s house. PIPER’s jeep is pulling into the driveway.]

[Cut to inside the keep. PIPER pulls down her mirror and presses a button causing the garage door to open. LEO is still staring out the window.]

[Flashback: LEO is walking down the isle of the train. Most of the seats are filled with young men around his age, also dressed in World War Two uniforms. He notices a free spot next to a young redheaded woman in a white nurse’s uniform who is turned towards the window. LEO walks over.]

LEO: Is this seat taken?

(The woman turns around, revealing herself to be a twenty-one-year-old NATALIE FIELDS. Her name tag reads, “N. Fields.” NATALIE smiles and shakes her head.)

NATALIE: No. (LEO sits down.) It just seems like most people would rather not sit next to a woman.

(LEO stares at her.)

LEO: I don’t understand that. If it weren’t for nurses, the soldiers would be in pretty bad shape now wouldn’t they?

(NATALIE smiles.)

NATALIE: I’m sorry, I don’t think I caught your name.

(LEO holds out his hand.)

LEO: Leo Wyatt. (NATALIE grips his hand firmly and they shake.)

NATALIE: Natalie Fields. (She notices a red cross stitched onto the arm of LEO’s uniform.) Oh, you’re medic.

(LEO nods.)

LEO: Looks like we’ll be working together.

NATALIE: I look forward to it.

[Cut back to the present. PIPER touches LEO’s shoulder, pulling him back from his thoughts.]

LEO: What?

PIPER: I said, can you pull your seat forward so Mel can get out?

LEO: Oh, (he unbuckles himself) sure.

(LEO reaches down and pulls a lever to move the seat forward. In the back seat, MELINDA opens the back door and climbs out, carrying the car seat with her infant self. She shuts the back door and opens her dad’s side door.)

MELINDA: You comin’?

LEO: Yeah… (He climbs out of the car, heading for the door leading into the house.)

[Flashback: LEO and NATALIE are getting off the train and start heading through the noisy crowd.]

LEO: Do you know where we’re supposed to be going now?

(NATALIE hands LEO a small pamphlet.)

NATALIEe: Company 21 boards flight three-seventeen to the Guadalcanal.

(LEO is looking through the pamphlet as they walk. He sees the instructions that NATALIE just explained.)

LEO: Oh. (His face turns a little red.) I don’t think I have one of these.

NATALIE: You can keep it, I’ve already memorized it.

MAN's VOICE: Leo! Hey, Leo! Wait up!

(LEO stops and turns around, prompting NATALIE to do the same. Two men run up to them. LEO’s face lights up.)

LEO: Rick! (He gives a quick hug to the larger of the men then does the same with the smaller man.) Nathan. I’m so glad to see you guys!

RICK: We thought you’d gone AWOL on us.

LEO: No, of course not! I’d been saying goodbye to Lilli and then next thing I knew, they were calling to board the trains and I never saw you guys. (He notices NATALIE.) Oh! (He motions to the red haired nurse.) This is Natalie Fields, I met her on the train. Natalie, these are some friends of mine, Rick and Nathan Lang. They're also in Company 21.

(NATALIE shakes hands with RICK and NATHAN.)

NATHAN: (to NATALIE) It’s a pleasure to meet you.

NATALIE: Likewise.

RICK: Any friend of Leo’s is a friend ours. (He wraps his arm around LEO’s shoulders.) He’s a good one right here! (He playfully hits LEO’s arm.) We’ve known each other practically our whole lives; grew up in Burlingame together.

(NATHAN looks at his watch.)

NATHAN: Hey, we gotta go! (He motions his hand.)

RICK: Any idea where-

NATALIE: (interrupting) Flight 317. (LEO stifles a laugh. NATALIE points to a group of soldiers near a ticket window.) I think we should be over there. (She starts to walk off. RICK raises his eyebrow at LEO.)

RICK: Ya sure that ain’t an undercover general?

(LEO rolls his eyes.)

LEO: I think she’s just good at taking charge. (He tugs RICK forward.) C’mon, before they leave without us. (They three men head off after NATALIE.)

[Cut back to the present. LEO is now standing in his and PIPER’s bedroom. His old WWII uniform is lying on the bed and he just stares at it.]

[Scene: 415 Magazine. Photo studio. RUPERT is standing in the doorway, his mouth agape as PHOEBE gets right up in SPENCER’s face, screaming at him. She’s jabbing her finger at him, but he seems unfazed.]

PHOEBE: Where do you think you get off saying the things you do, let alone publishing this crap?! (She waves the advice column in his face.)

SPENCER: It’s called business, Sweet Cheeks.

PHOEBE: (mockingly) Business? Ha! Businessmen actually have the couth to meet in person. You wouldn’t know business if it knocked you on your ass. What you do is slander-

SPENCER's ASSISTANT: Mr. Ricks does not slander! People come to him for advice-

PHOEBE: Oh and, “If she’s hot, just ignore the blabber. It’s a given with chicks.” isn’t slander? (She tilts her head to the side accusingly.) It’s denigrating to women and therefore is slander.

SPENCER: It has to be false to be denigrating. (grinning) Can you prove you don’t belong in the kitchen?

(PHOEBE’s eyes bulge and her jaw nearly hits the floor. PRUE clasps her hand to her mouth.)

PRUE: (warningly) Phoebe!

PHOEBE: (yelling) How dare you! (She smacks SPENCER across the face with an open palm so forcefully and suddenly that he loses his balance and falls onto his butt. His assistant gasps as he grapples to help SPENCER up.)

SPENCER's ASSISTANT: Are you okay Mr. Ricks?! (He helps SPENCER up as PRUE runs across the room, grabbing her sister. The assistant turns as PRUE pulls PHOEBE away.) Mark my words, you’ll be hearing Mr. Ricks’ attorneys!

(PRUE forcefully hauls her yelling sister out of the room. RUPERT is staring shell shocked while MARY grins.)

MARY: That woman’s my heroine!

[Scene: Nevada interstate highway. A black 2003 Dodge Ram is speeding through the endless desert.]

[Cut to the bed of the truck. PAIGE and DARRYL are ducked down, hiding underneath the back window. DARRYL looks furious.]

DARRYL: And how exactly do you plan to stop this guy? Orb in front of him and hope he veers off the road?

PAIGE: Actually, that’s not a bad idea-

DARRYL: Paige!

PAIGE: Look! I hadn’t exactly thought this through-

DARRYL: Obviously.

PAIGE: All I was thinking about was saving Julian.

DARRYL: And you also didn’t think about how you were going to explain his rescue.

(PAIGE grits her teeth.)

PAIGE: Maybe if I use a spell?

DARRYL: And then what?

PAIGE: Hello? I’m making this up as I go along.

DARRYL: Hence the problem I’ve been complaining about for the last ten high speed minutes!

(PAIGE puckers her lips in thought.)

PAIGE: We need to get the license plate number.

DARRYL: And how are we going to do that?

PAIGE: We aren’t, (she points her thumb at herself) I am. (She grins.) I’ve been practicing a little somethin’ with my orbing and I think this is a perfect opportunity to try it out.

(PAIGE orbs, but instead of disappearing completely, the orbs linger in the air. They drift through the air and up and over the bed of the truck. DARRYL watches anxiously as he sees PAIGE’s head suddenly poke out of the cloud of orbs as it chases after the truck. DARRYL looks shocked as PAIGE’s lips move, a sign of her memorizing the license plate. Her head disappears back into the orbs again and then they fly towards him, wrap around him, and he dissolves into the orbs and they disappear.)

[Scene: Manor. Attic. PAIGE and DARRYL orb in. DARRYL jumps back.]

DARRYL: What the hell was that?

PAIGE: Cool, huh? I’ve been working on orbing certain parts of my body instead of everything all at once. (She points to DARRYL’s pocket.) Now, get on the phone, it’s time to make a call.

DARRYL: To who?

PAIGE: We’ve finally got something reliable for that anonymous tip.

(DARRYL starts dialing on his phone.)

DARRYL: Hello? (pause) This is Inspector Darryl Morris speaking, I’ve just got an anonymous tip about the missing Seldon boy…

Act Four

[Scene: Piper and Leo’s house. Master bedroom. LEO is asleep on the bed. Lying next to him is his World War Two uniform and his collection, his old photographs, and various other relics. His face keeps scrunching up and the slumber is clearly restless.]

[Cut to the kitchen. PIPER has changed out of her black dress and is now wearing a less formal black top and jeans. She’s spreading mayonnaise onto a slice of whole wheat bread. The microwave beeps and the word “End” flashes on the screen. PIPER shifts to the microwave and as the door pops open, loud sirens begin to fill the air and lights start flashing. PIPER gasps and quickly flees the kitchen.]

[Cut to Melinda’s room. PIPER bursts in to find MELINDA already there, lifting her infant self from the crib. BABY MELINDA is crying. MELINDA turns her head just as CHRIS, also with his infant self, orbs in. The demonic alarm is still sounding. PIPER blinks.]

PIPER: Where’s the demon?

(MELINDA jerks her head towards CHRIS.)

MELINDA: Dad!

[Cut to the master bedroom. The DEMON from the funeral is standing over LEO, with his hands absorbing pulsating blue waves from him. The demon is quivering excitedly, lost in LEO’s pain. CHRIS’s orbs light up the room.]

CHRIS: Hey!

(CHRIS motions his hand, throwing the DEMON into the dresser. The bedroom door flies open as MELINDA and PIPER rush in. MELINDA raises her hand, but the DEMON holds out his hand and a pulse of turquoise light spits from his palm, splitting into three beams to hit CHRIS, MELINDA, and PIPER. Each one of them gasp and lurch forward, giving the demon enough time to run back over to LEO and grab him by the arm. They flare out.)

[Scene: Bay General Hospital. Room #213. PAIGE walks in to find CAROLYN sitting on the bed. Her face is badly bruised and cut, with several butterfly bandages covering a large cut above her left eyebrow. CAROLYN’s right arm is in a sling. PAIGE gasps.]

PAIGE: Oh my god, Carolyn!

(CAROLYN shakes her head.)

CAROLYN: I’m fine. (anxiously) Did you find him? Is Julian okay?

(PAIGE holds out JULIAN’s G.I. Joe to CAROLYN.)

PAIGE: We don’t have him yet, but we know where he is.

CAROLYN: How? Where?

PAIGE: He crossed state lines into Nevada, but don’t worry, we will have him back! You remember Inspector Morris, right?

CAROLYN: The one at my house?

PAIGE: (nodding) Yes. He’s a good friend of mine and right now, his top priority is getting Julian back to you. I know he won’t let you down. (She looks at her watch.) Look, Carolyn, I just wanted to see how you were doing. I have to go now, but I promise as soon as I know anything else, I’ll call you.

(CAROLYN nods. She’s starting to cry.)

CAROLYN: Just don’t let him hurt my baby.

(PAIGE grips the doorframe.)

PAIGE: I swear, that is not going to happen!

[Scene: County jail. Phoebe’s cell. PRUE has her arms folded, resting on her pregnant stomach as a guard unlocks PHOEBE’s cell. PHOEBE winces under her elder sister’s gaze.]

PHOEBE: You know you didn’t have to bail me out.

(PRUE glowers.)

PRUE: I didn’t bail you out-

PHOEBE: (surprised) You didn’t?

PRUE: No. (pause) Because you’ll be paying me back.

(PHOEBE looks at the floor again.)

PHOEBE: Well…sorry you had to waste your time coming down here then. (They follow the guard around the corner.)

PRUE: I can’t believe you actually did that.

PHOEBE: I know, I know…it was irresponsible of me-

PRUE: Actually, I was going to say you have more guts than I do.

(PHOEBE looks up, amused.)

PHOEBE: You’re not mad?

PRUE: I’m not mad at you for hitting him; I wanted to do that too. (PHOEBE opens her mouth, but PRUE holds up her finger.) But I am mad that you had to do it at my place of employment.

(PHOEBE sticks out a fat lip.)

PHOEBE: What happened?

PRUE: Well, luckily Corso covered for you, but not without giving me the third degree. (She holds up her hand as they reach the door. PHOEBE opens it and PRUE walks out.) I’d rather not talk about that right now, though.

PHOEBE: Fair enough.

PRUE: But it sounds like Ricks could still be pressing charges.

(PHOEBE grits her teeth. At that moment, a bright flash momentarily blinds her and PRUE’s eyes. PHOEBE holds up her hand and sees a man with a camera standing nearby.)

PHOEBE: What the hell!

(PRUE squints.)

CAMERA MAN: Thanks for the pic, it’ll go great in tomorrow’s edition of the “Ledger!” (He hurries off. PRUE and PHOEBE look at each other. PHOEBE curls her fist. PRUE quickly grabs her sister’s hand.)

PRUE: Let’s go home! We’ll see what we can do from there.

[Scene: Manor. Attic. CHRIS, MELINDA, PIPER, and the infant Twins are there. CHRIS is at the Book of Shadows, while MELINDA is trying to scry for LEO.]

CHRIS: Found him.

(MELINDA drops the scrying crystal and PIPER moves to CHRIS’s side to look at the page in the Book.)

PIPER: “The Demon of Misery. This particular demon feeds off the pain of his victims until it weakens them to death. He can usually be found in cemeteries and at funerals or in other locations of great trauma and grief.”

MELINDA: He must have been at the funeral. (to CHRIS) Is there a vanquish?

(CHRIS shakes his head.)

CHRIS: It says there is no known vanquish.

PIPER: Then it must be the Power of Three. (She heads for the door. MELINDA shifts BABY MELINDA onto her other hip.) I’ll go call my sisters, you keep searching for Leo. (She leaves. MELINDA sits back down at the table and picks up the scrying crystal again. CHRIS stares down at the picture of the DEMON OF MISERY in the Book of Shadows.)

[Scene: Solomon Islands. Guadalcanal. LEO is on his knees. His hands on the sides of his heads, his knuckles white, and his fingers are gouging into his skull. LEO’s eyes are bulging and red bloodshot lines are clearly visible in them.]

LEO: Please! No! (He’s shaking uncontrollably.) Stop!

(A continual throbbing turquoise energy is transferring from LEO to the DEMON OF MISERY. His pupils are dilated.)

DEMON OF MISERY: (excitedly) Yes, whitelighter, remember! Remember all the pain! Feel it, give it to me!

[Flashback: LEO is dressed in his blood and dirt splotched World War Two uniform. He is standing opposite NATALIE, his forehead is damp with sweat, as he helps her tend the wounds of the soldier who is bleeding profusely on the cot between them. The man is howling, delirious with pain. NATALIE injects the man with a needle. The sound of bombs exploding can be heard in the distance.]

RICK's VOICE: (yelling) Leo! Leo! Leo, get over here quick! Nathan’s been hit!

(LEO jerks his head up. In the distance, he can see soldiers running back and forth as bombs and explosions go off in the distance. RICK comes running out from palm trees, dragging NATHAN by the arms. He lays NATHAN on the ground about fifteen feet from a tent, where the other injured soldiers are gathered on cots and nurses and medics are working madly to help them.)

LEO: (to NATALIE) Stabilize his leg and get him onto a jeep! (He looks back towards RICK and NATHAN.) I need to go help Nate! (NATALIE gives a confirming nod as LEO takes off. She looks at a nearby nurse.)

NATALIE: You heard what he said! We need this soldier on a jeep, now! Go! Go! Go!

(LEO reaches NATHAN, to find him moaning as he bleeds profusely from his neck and chest.)

RICK: (shaking) It’s bad, isn’t it?

(NATALIE rushes over. Her eyes widen as she sees NATHAN.)

NATALIE: Oh my God! (She looks at LEO and NATHAN and the shock promptly disappears from her face. She turns stoic and begins applying pressure to NATHAN’s severe wounds.)

LEO: What hit him?

RICK: Mortar frag hit us with artillery out of nowhere! All battalions are down.

(An explosion goes off close by.)

NATALIE: We’ve got to get him inside the tent!

RICK: (to LEO) You grab his feet! (He grabs his brother’s arms as LEO grabs NATHAN’s ankles and they haul him onto a stretcher under the tent. NATHAN starts to have spasms.)

LEO: He’s going into shock!

NATALIE: We need to stop the bleeding; I’ll go get the sulfa powder! (She runs off.)

LEO: How many more soldiers are down out there?

RICK: I don’t know. Fifteen, maybe twenty? They hit us damn hard!

(NATALIE returns with the sulfa powder.)

LEO: I need a morphine kit.

NATALIE: Already done. (She hands him a morphine kit. NATALIE starts to treat NATHAN with the sulfa powder. RICK stares helplessly at his shaking, dying brother.)

RICK: (pleading to LEO) Ya gotta help him! He needs you, Leo! We both need you!

LEO: Is there a medic out in the field?

(RICK shakes his head, keeping an eye on NATHAN.)

RICK: (distractedly) I don’t know.

LEO: Natalie, stabilize him! (He grabs a medical bag.)

RICK: (to LEO) What are you doing?

LEO: Going to help the injured in the field! (He starts to leave the tent, but RICK grabs his arm.)

RICK: (angrily) What?!

LEO: Natalie will take care of him.

RICK: No, no, no! You’re going to take care of him! (He jerks LEO to face NATHAN, who’s moaning deliriously on the stretcher.) That’s Nate, Leo! That’s my brother!

LEO: He’s in the best hands, Rick! You know Natalie, she’s the best we’ve got! (He nods towards the bombs in the distance.) And that’s where I’m needed right now. Men are dying out there and unlike Nate, there isn’t anyone to help them!

RICK: (furiously) You’re gonna choose them over us?!

(LEO’s visibly conflicted as he looks over his shoulder at NATALIE treating NATHAN.)

NATALIE: I’ve got him! (commandingly) Leo, go!

LEO: (to RICK) I’m sorry! (He runs out towards the field.)

RICK: (yelling) We’re your friends! Goddamnit, Leo! We’re your brothers! (screaming) Don’t let him die!

(A bomb hits the medical tent and the explosion rockets LEO off his feet and into the dirt. He looks back at the tent, which is now just burning wreckage. His face is frozen in horror as he watches the flames curl up and charcoal colored smoke billow into the smoky blue sky.)

[Cut back to the present. Tears escape LEO’s eyes as he withers on the ground.]

Act Five

[Scene: Manor. Attic. PRUE and PIPER are there; PRUE is studying the Book’s entry on the DEMON OF MISERY. PHOEBE walks in with the cordless phone in her hand.]

PHOEBE: Paige’s cell must be off, because it just keeps sending me to voicemail. (MELINDA and CHRIS walk in.) Any luck with the scrying?

MELINDA: None.

PIPER: He’s probably in the Underworld then.

(PHOEBE sets the cordless phone down on the table. She walks over to the Book.)

PHOEBE: We can try to see. (She lays her hand over the page and closes her eyes. PRUE and PIPER wait anxiously. PHOEBE opens her eyes.)

PIPER: Well?

(PHOEBE shakes her head.)

PHOEBE: I’m not getting anything.

(PIPER waves her hands in sheer frustration.)

PIPER: I don’t understand this! Why would he even go after Leo in the first place?

(PRUE nods.)

PRUE: It doesn’t make sense to me either. I know Lillian was his first wife and all, but it would seem like her children would be bigger targets than Leo.

(CHRIS shakes his head.)

CHRIS: Think about it, they just lost their mother. But Dad’s a whitelighter. He’s a step below immortal. Just think about all the painful things he’s witnessed during both his life and his existence as a whitelighter…just imagine what he saw in World War Two alone and then combine that with everything else.

PHOEBE: (shocked) I didn’t even think about that.

MELINDA: World War Two. (She blinks.) Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this before!

PIPER: (anxiously) What?

MELINDA: The Guadalcanal! If there was any place that would hold his most painful memories, that would be it!

(PHOEBE nods.)

PHOEBE: That does make sense. If this demon wants to make Leo relive his most painful memories, taking Leo back to the Guadalcanal would be prime…it’s possible that it could even force him into a psychological break.

(MELINDA hits CHRIS.)

MELINDA: Go drop us off at Grandpa’s and then find Aunt Paige and get her back here! (She hands BABY MELINDA to CHRIS and he orbs out.)

[Scene: Solomon Islands. Guadalcanal. LEO is lying on his back on the ground, shaking as if he’s experiencing a seizure.]

[Flashback: LEO is in the jungle, kneeling down next to a soldier with a severe bleeding head wound. The soldier is seizing as LEO attempts to bandage the man’s head.]

LEO: Stay with me!

(LEO reaches into his medical bag and pulls out a needle full of morphine. He injects the soldier. The soldier seems to calm down slightly, then he grabs LEO’s arm. LEO seems shocked at first, but his eyes lock with the man’s.)

SOLDIER: Tell her…tell her I love her.

LEO: Who?

(The soldier’s eyes are fixed and he doesn’t appear as if he’s going to respond. Then he begins to reach for one of the pockets on his uniform, the one over the left side of his chest. His hand is shaking and his eyes are moving back and forth as he fights to find what he’s looking for. Finally, he pulls back his hand, revealing a photograph. He smiles faintly as he holds the photo up to LEO. As LEO reaches for it, the man’s hand falls back to his chest. The soldier’s eyes are frozen open on the picture. LEO reaches to check the soldier’s pulse, but there is none. He brushes his hand over the soldier’s eyes, shutting them. Then he lightly removes the photograph from his hand, revealing a sepia toned picture of the soldier and a young dark haired woman. He tucks the photograph back into the man’s pocket and places the soldier’s hand over it. As he reaches for his medical bag, a bomb falls from the sky and crashes down next to LEO, detonating in a fiery white light.)

[Cut back to the present. CHRIS has his hand curved over his forehead, shielding himself from the sunlight.]

PAIGE: You really think he’s here?

PHOEBE: Psychologically, it makes perfect sense.

PRUE: Any ideas on how we’re supposed to find him? We have ninety miles in length and twenty-five miles across and only six of us.

PIPER: (to PHOEBE) What if you levitate and try to see him?

PHOEBE: Are you kidding me? It’s not like I can fly, you know. I’m not going to be able to see him over all this foliage.

(PAIGE blinks.)

PAIGE: I think I have an idea. (Everyone looks expectantly at her. She motions her hands.) You guys set out on foot, I’m going to try something a little faster. (Her form dissolves into orbs and the orbs hover above her sisters’, niece’s, and nephew’s heads. PAIGE’s head suddenly appears from the orbs.)

PHOEBE: What the-

PAIGE: No time to explain. Just go! (Her head, along with her orbs, fly off into the jungle. MELINDA looks at CHRIS.)

MELINDA: Why didn’t I think of that? (She hits CHRIS.) You go, too!

(After a moment, CHRIS replicates PAIGE’s trick with his own orbing power. He notices his mother’s and aunts’ confused looks, but doesn’t comment. Instead, he takes off in a different direction than PAIGE had. MELINDA clasps her hands together.) Okay, we should split up. (She motions her hands in three different directions.) Mom will come with me, since she doesn’t have active powers. Let’s go!

[Cut back to Leo. He’s still on his back on the ground. His eyes are frozen open now, but he’s not moving.]

[Flashback: LILLIAN is standing in a misty meadow. A trickling stream is flowing nearby. LILLIAN looks confused.]

LEO's VOICE: Lilli.

(LILLIAN turns around and sees LEO standing near the stream, bathed in a brilliant white light. A tear runs down her cheek.)

LILLIAN: Leo? (She chokes up.) Is it really… (She moves to him and LEO nods gently. She touches his face.) …it is you. (She throws her arms around him.) I miss you. Oh Leo, I miss you so much!

(LEO hugs LILLIAN tenderly.)

LEO: I miss you too, Lilli.

LILLIAN: I don’t know how I can continue on without you.

(LEO gently pulls away. He tilts her chin so her eyes lock his.)

LEO: That’s what I came here for. (He smiles sadly.) I want you to know that I’m okay; I don’t want you to worry about me. I’m in a good place now. (He runs his fingers through her blonde curls.) And I want you to continue living.

(LILLIAN starts to shake her head, crying vigorously.)

LILLIAN: No…I can’t-

LEO: You have to. (He takes her hands.) I want you to. (pleading) I need you to move on, Lilli! You need to let go of me. (LILLIAN cries into his chest. He strokes her hair.) There’s someone else out there for you, another love.

LILLIAN: (crying) No one could replace you.

LEO: You’ll be okay. (He lifts his eyes to the tranquil blue sky. LILLIAN grabs him.)

LILLIAN: No, please!

LEO: I have to go. (He kisses her softly on the lips.) I love you.

(LILLIAN swallows hard.)

LILLIAN: I’ll always love you, Leo.

(LEO smiles at her through pained eyes as he wipes away her rolling tears with his fingers and then fades away.)

[Cut back to the present. The DEMON OF MISERY leans over LEO’s flaccid form.]

DEMON OF MISERY: Come on, whitelighter. I know you have a memory that’ll push you over the edge. (He narrows his eyes.) What is it? (He kneels down and places his palm to LEO’s head.) Remember the pain!

(LEO gasps so violently that his whole body jerks.)

[Flashback: LEO is standing in an emergency room. PRUE is standing before him with a blood and tear stained face. She looks furious.]

PRUE: They killed her, Leo.

(LEO looks over at PIPER, who is lying on the table with her shirt open, revealing a bloody gunshot wound to her abdomen; she’s dead. PRUE is breathing heavily.)

PRUE: They think we’re the demons now.

(LEO gasps. He starts to move towards PIPER, heaving breaths as he tries to hold back tears.)

LEO: Oh go… (He starts to move towards her.) How could this be happening? (He’s crying.) I don’t understand! (He leans over PIPER and begins to stroke her hair.) I’m so sorry. (He kisses her forehead.)

[Cut back to the present. PIPER and MELINDA are running.]

PIPER: (yelling) Leo! Leo! Can you hear me?!

MELINDA: Dad!

(Piper is breathing heavily. She slows down until she stops. She leans forward, resting her hands on her legs as she attempts to catch her breath. She sounds like she’s coughing. MELINDA stops beside her and presses her hand to her mother’s back.)

MELINDA: Mom? Are you okay?

(PIPER lifts her head to reveal a tear stained face. She shakes her head.)

PIPER: No…this is useless! How are we ever supposed to find him this way? We’re looking for a needle in a haystack! (She notices MELINDA doesn’t seem to be paying attention to her. She narrows her eyes.) Melinda?

(MELINDA blinks, snapping out of her daze.)

MELINDA: He found him.

PIPER: What?

MELINDA: Chris found him!

(At that, CHRIS orbs in. He grabs PIPER's and MELINDA'S hands and promptly orbs them out.)

[Cut to Leo. His eyes are frozen open and a trail of wet tears run down his face from the corner of each eye. The DEMON OF MISERY’s eyes are beginning to glow hot white as he soaks up LEO’s turquoise aura.]

PIPER's VOICE: (screaming) Leo! (PIPER runs towards LEO, but she’s thrown back by an invisible barrier. MELINDA helps her mother up.) Leo! Fight it! Fight him Leo!

(Between LEO and the DEMON OF MISERY, a white light begins to emerge. It grows and fluctuates, unbeknownst to the demon. Then in a flash, an old woman with visible facial wrinkles and short, curly gray hair appears. From behind the force field, PRUE leans in.)

PAIGE: Who the hell is that?

(PRUE shakes her head.)

PRUE: She wasn’t in the Book.

PIPER: That’s because she’s not a demon…

PHOEBE: How do you know?

PIPER: Because…that’s Lillian!

OLD LILLIAN: (furiously to the demon) Stay away from him!

(In a flash, she transforms into her eighteen-year-old self, with flawless skin and golden blonde curls in a classic late 1930’s style. LILLIAN becomes corporeal. She shoves the DEMON OF MISERY, knocking him to the ground. His white eyes return to normal as he’s shoved from his trance.)

DEMON OF MISERY: Where did you come from?

(LILLIAN ignores him. Instead she kneels down next to LEO.)

LILLIAN: (softly) Leo. Leo, can you hear me? (She notices the tears on his frozen face and uses her thumb to wipe them away. She leans close to his ear and begins to whisper.) Leo… (She brushes her thumb across his lips.) Leo. (She leans close to his ear.) Leo, let go…

[Cut to Leo’s mind. LEO awakens in the grass near the trickling stream, staring up into LILLIAN’s eyes.]

LEO: (shocked) Lilli! (LILLIAN smiles brilliantly. She holds out her hand and LEO takes it. She helps him to stand up. He looks around, realizing he’s in the same misty meadow he’d said goodbye to LILLIAN at over sixty years earlier.) How did you get here?

LILLIAN: I came to help you…to return the favor.

(LEO shakes his head.)

LEO: But the demon-

LILLIAN: He feeds on pain, Leo. (She strokes the side of his face tenderly.) There’s only one way to defeat him.

LEO: How?

LILLIAN: You know how.

LEO: I don’t.

(LILLIAN smiles knowingly.)

LILLIAN: What’s stronger than pain? (She looks into his blue eyes, the color of the meadow’s sky. LEO starts to shake his head.) I’ll always love you, Leo. (She kisses him. Everything in his line of vision fades to white.)

BREAK

[The Virtual Series]

Act Six

[Scene: Solomon Islands. Guadalcanal. PIPER looks panicked as she watches from behind the barriers of the invisible force field. LILLIAN is no longer in sight and the DEMON OF MISERY seems to be preparing for another attack on LEO, who is still out cold on the ground.]

PIPER: (screaming) Leo! You have wake up! Please, he’s going to kill you! (PRUE grabs PIPER’s shoulder and pulls her back. She holds out her arms, sending concentrated telekinetic energy at the force field. It flickers, but holds strong. PIPER looks terrified.) Leo, please!

[Flashback: LEO and LILLIAN are standing at the front of a small chapel. LEO is dressed in a black and white suite and LILLIAN in a dainty wedding gown. They’re sharing their first kiss as husband and wife. As they pull away, LILLIAN leans to his ear.]

MINISTER: I’m proud to introduce to you, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Wyatt.

(The guests clap and stand up. RICK, standing next to LEO as his best man, pulls LEO aside and gives him a quick hug and pat on the back. NATHAN, standing next to RICK as one of LEO’s groomsmen, smiles and also exchanges quick hugs with him.)

NATHAN: We couldn’t be happier for you Leo.

[Cut to fourteen-year-old LEO is standing with fourteen-year-old NATHAN and sixteen-year-old RICK in front of a pale blue 1938 Ford Sedan.]

YOUNG LEO: This is the best day of my life!

(YOUNG RICK peers through the window at the back seat.)

YOUNG NATHAN: I can’t believe your dad’s really giving this to you!

YOUNG LEO: He said he’s been saving up for it since the day I was born.

YOUNG RICK: They didn’t have these cars back when you were born.

(YOUNG LEO rolls his eyes.)

YOUNG LEO: You know what I mean.

(CHRISTOPHER walks up.)

CHRISTOPHER: You like what you see boys?

YOUNG RICK: This is better than my parents’ car, Mr. Wyatt.

(CHRISTOPHER dangles a lone key from his finger.)

CHRISTOPHER: Wanna take her for a spin?

YOUNG LEO: That’d be snazzy, Dad!

YOUNG NATHAN: I wish my dad was as ace as yours, Leo.

(CHRISTOPHER hands YOUNG LEO the key. YOUNG LEO gives his father a quick hug.)

YOUNG LEO: I hope when I have kids, I can be as great a Dad as you.

[Cut to Leo and Piper are in the delivery room at Bay General Hospital. LEO is standing next to PIPER’s bed, holding their newborn daughter and PIPER is holding their newborn son.]

LEO: I can’t believe we have twins!

PIPER: (softly) They’re a…

[Cut to Leo opening his eyes to find NATALIE’s eyes staring into his. Her lips are moving as if she’s been talking.]

NATALIE: …miracle. (She smiles and he sits up. LEO looks around and all he sees is rolling mist, white pillars, and an endless blue sky above him with cotton ball clouds.)

LEO: Natalie? Am I in heaven? (He starts to notice other figures in the distance, all wearing golden hooded cloaks.)

NATALIE: No, but close. (She grins.) You’ve been chosen to work miracles, Leo. Just like me.

LEO: Miracles?

(NATALIE nods.)

NATALIE: Instead of going to the afterlife, you’ll be given a second chance. You’ll become a guardian angel for the Greater Good.

LEO: Guardian angel? Greater Good? (He shakes his head.) I don’t understand. (The hooded figures in the distance come forth and take down their hoods.)

NATALIE: They’re called whitelighters. That’s what I am now. I gave up my afterlife to continue to help and heal people. I took a vow to continue protecting the innocent…and I’d like to know if you would also like to take that vow.

(The whitelighters in the golden robes remove their hoods, revealing their faces. LEO looks at the faces of the whitelighters around him, then back at NATALIE, who looks eagerly at him. He nods.)

LEO: I do.

[Cut to Leo and Piper's wedding. LEO and PIPER are standing before the spirit of PENNY HALLIWELL in the dining room. PRUE, PHOEBE, PATTY HALLIWELL, VICTOR BENNETT, COLE TURNER, and DARRYL are also there.]

PENNY: With this cord, I bind them to those vows. (She telekinetically lifts the cord and loosely ties it around PIPER’s and LEO’s hands.)

PIPER & LEO: Heart to thee, body to thee, always and forever, so mote it be.

PENNY: So mote it be.

EVERYONE: So mote it be.

(The clock strikes twelve.)

PENNY: Kiss her fast.

(PIPER and LEO kiss.)

[Cut to Leo is lying on the couch in the attic, his chest wrapped in bandages, with PIPER by his side.]

PIPER: I love you, Leo. (A tear drop falls from her eye and lands on her hand. It starts to glow golden.) I found it. Leo, I love you! (She holds her glowing hand over LEO and the wound from the darklighter arrow heals.) Can you hear me? I love you, Leo. Please hear me!

(LEO wakes up.)

LEO: Piper. (They hug.)

PIPER: Oh, thank god! I tried so hard and I couldn’t make it work. Why didn’t you tell me?

LEO: That love was the trigger? You had to find that out on your own. Why couldn’t you tell me?

PIPER: I don’t know…I was afraid, I was afraid that if I admitted how I really felt it would hurt more if I lost you. I’m so sorry, I should’ve said it before.

LEO: It’s better late than never. (They kiss.)

[Cut back to the present. Another flow of turquoise light is transferring from LEO to the DEMON OF MISERY. LEO’s eyes flash open. LEO sees PIPER staring at him from the other side of the force field. The flood of light turns lavender and then transforms to a rose red. The DEMON OF MISERY is catapulted several feet away from LEO. LEO rises to his feet, no longer in pain.]

DEMON OF MISERY: No!

LEO: Piper! (The force field keeping PIPER and her sisters out crackles and falters. PIPER races in and hugs her husband. Another wave of red energy - love - emits from LEO into the DEMON OF MISERY.)

PIPER: (whispering) Thank god you’re okay!

(PRUE, PHOEBE, and PAIGE ready themselves to say a Power of Three spell. LEO raises his hand.)

LEO: Wait, stop! (He turns to the DEMON OF MISERY.) I love my wife. (The flow of love energy from LEO to the DEMON OF MISERY doubles.) I love her, I love my children, and I love my life and you can never take that away from me!

(The DEMON OF MISERY shakes on the floor.)

DEMON OF MISERY: No! No, you’re in pain! You’re all in pain!

(The DEMON OF MISERY motions his hand in an attempt to spread LEO’s pain as he did back at PIPER and LEO’s house, but nothing happens. LEO just turns his head back to PIPER, pulls her close, and kisses her deeply. A hot red light bursts from the couple, turning pink, and finally white hot. It fills everything in a blinding flash. When it fades away, the only thing left of the DEMON OF MISERY is ash on the floor. A few feet from their aunts, MELINDA jabs CHRIS with her elbow and sighs dramatically.)

MELINDA: I hope I find love like theirs one day.

(CHRIS stares at his parents as they finally break their kiss and stare into each other’s eyes. He shifts his own away and exhales slowly.)

[Time lapse. PHOEBE is hunched over the breakfast table, eating a bowl of Granola. SPENCER RICKS’ advice column from “The San Francisco Ledger” drops down in front of PHOEBE. Two large black and white pictures of PHOEBE, one of her being arrested at 415 Magazine and one of her and PRUE walking out of the county jail, are printed on the page. Under it is PHOEBE’s letter about 'Masculine in Millbrae' and the title at the top of the page, in bold black letters, reads “Sexist in San Francisco!” PHOEBE tilts her head to see PRUE with her arms folded, staring down at her.]

PRUE: Read it.

(PHOEBE drops her spoon into the bowl and picks up the page. She looks it over and then jumps up with a rabid look in her eyes.)

PHOEBE: They’re calling me the sexist one?! (She balls up the newspaper and hurls it across the kitchen.) The nerve of this guy!

[Scene: San Francisco Police Department. CAROLYN and PAIGE are waiting near DARRYL’s desk. CAROLYN looks nervous, but PAIGE pats her shoulder comfortingly. Finally, DARRYL enters with JULIAN SELDON.]

JULIAN: Mommy!

CAROLYN: Julian! (JULIAN runs to CAROLYN and throws his arms around her. CAROLYN hugs him with her good arm.) Thank God!

(DARRYL approaches them and makes a motion to PAIGE, who steps away from the reunion.)

PAIGE: What happened with Marcus?

DARRYL: He’s got a one-way ticket back to prison.

(PAIGE smiles.)

PAIGE: Thank you, Darryl.

(DARRYL glances at JULIAN and CAROLYN.)

DARRYL: Any time.

[Scene: Bay Mirror. A door at the back of the room reads “Editor.” Under the title is the name “Elise Rothman.”]

[Cut to the editor’s office. “The San Francisco Ledger” is being held up in the air, concealing the person behind it. The person sets the newspaper down, revealing herself as the middle aged ELISE ROTHMAN. She studies the paper curiously and then picks up her phone and presses a speed dial button.]

ELISE: Rachel, see what you can find me on Spencer Ricks’ latest adversary, “Phoebe Halliwell.”

[Scene: Cemetery. Lillian’s grave. An elongated path of grass on the lawn is yellowed from being freshly uprooted. LILLIAN’s headstone has been newly positioned at the edge of the yellowed grass next to her husband’s, ROBERT EVERETT. Their headstones look identical in style and under LILLIAN’s name and the words “Earthly Angel” is a glossy picture of LILLIAN at the age of twenty-five, with golden blonde bangs and a dazzling smile. LEO is standing in front of the headstone, with a bouquet of red roses in his hand. He walks up to the grave and kneels down, placing the bouquet under LILLIAN’s picture.]

LEO: Thank you, Lilli.

(LEO hovers there for a moment. He touches his lips with his fingers and then presses them to LILLIAN’s smiling picture then he rises to his feet. PIPER walks up behind him and smiles at the headstone. Silently, she laces her hand with LEO’s. LEO tilts his head, smiles at his wife, and they walk off together hand-in-hand.)
