(Piper walks outside.)
Mark: Please, I'm begging you, I was murdered last night, I can prove it.
Piper: Stop harassing me, buddy.
Mark: Please, I'm desperate, you gotta help me.
Piper: Leave me alone or I'll call the police. (To a woman) Can you believe this guy?
(The woman looks at her strangely.)
Mark: All you have to do is come with me to Chinatown and see for yourself.
Piper: Alright, that's it. Look, either back off or... look out!
(Someone on a bike rides straight through Mark.)
Mark: Now do you believe me?
Piper: Oh my God. I can see you but no one else can?
Mark: I'm dead, I'm a ghost.
[Scene: Quake. Prue walks in looking for Andy. She sees him sitting at a table with a woman. She walks over to them.]
Prue: Hi.
Andy: Prue.
Prue: Um, I tried calling the station house for you, they said that you would probably be here. (To the woman) Hi.
Woman: Hi.
Andy: Oh, Prue, this is, um...
Woman: Susan. Susan Trudeau. Nice to meet you. Pleasure.
Prue: Trudeau. Sister?
Andy: No, actually...
Susan: Wife.
(Prue walks away and Andy follows.)
Andy: Ex-wife. Prue, wait, I can explain.
Prue: Don't bother.
Andy: It's not what you think...
(Prue uses her power and moves a food trolley in front of Andy. He trips over it and lands on the floor.)
-continued-
[Scene: Chinatown. Piper and Mark are walking down an alley.]
Mark: Thanks for helping me.
Piper: When you wouldn't leave my doorstep, you didn't leave me much of a choice. Maybe this isn't such a good idea.
Mark: Please, I don't have much time. Somebody has to find my body before it's too late.
Piper: Too late for what?
Mark: It's a Chinese myth. At least I always thought it was a myth. It's called Thowhoi, when the gates of hell open. We're almost there.
Piper: The gates of hell? I don't understand.
Mark: If the gatekeeper, Yama, catches my soul before my body's properly buried, he'll take my to hell forever.
Piper: But you said you were murdered. How can...?
Mark: Yama doesn't care about good or evil. He just wants souls. I should've listened to my mother.
(Piper sees Mark's burnt body. She gasps and covers her eyes.)
Piper: Is that you?
(Yama appears in the distance. He's on a horse which is galloping straight towards them.)
Mark: Yama!
Piper: Yama? Run.
Mark: It's too late. You better go. Run! (Piper freezes Yama.) What happened?
Piper: I'm a good witch, remember?
Mark: But how?
Piper: I don't know. I panic, I put up both hands and bad things tend to freeze.
Mark: For how long?
Piper: Not very, let's go.
(They run down the alley and Yama unfreezes. Yama's eyes glow bright green.)
