[Scene: Outside Mark's mother's house. Mark and Piper are there. Piper rings the bell.]
Piper: Are you sure this is going to work?
Mark: If you speak her language she'll trust you.
(Mrs. Chao walks outside.)
Mrs. Chao: Can I help you?
Mark: (in Chinese) Hello.
Piper: (in Chinese) Hello.
Mark: (in Chinese) My name's Piper.
Piper: (in Chinese) My name's Piper.
Mark: (in Chinese) I need to talk to you.
Piper: (in Chinese) I need to talk to you.
Mrs. Chao: (in Chinese) You speak Chinese?
(Piper looks at Mark.)
Mark: (in Chinese) Berlitz, it's about Mark.
Piper: (in Chinese) Berlitz, it's about Mark.
Mrs. Chao: (in Chinese) You know where he is?
Mark: She asked if you know where I am.
Piper: You-you don't?
Mrs. Chao: No, and I'm worried sick. I haven't heard from him since his birthday.
Mark: The police haven't notified her yet?
Piper: How's the possible... I mean, that he hasn't called yet?
Mrs. Chao: I don't know, it's not like him. When did you last see him?
Piper: Um, well...
Mark: Piper, you have to tell her. You have to tell her where my body is so she can bury me.
Piper: I can't... er, I can't remember the last time actually but if I see him or hear from him I-I'll let you know.
Mrs. Chao: Thank you, thank you.
(Piper walks down the stairs and Mrs. Chao goes back inside.)
Mark: You can't walk away, Piper, you have to tell her. Mum, no.
(He runs towards the house and smacks straight into the door.)
Piper: What happened?
Mark: She's got the house protected against ghosts. All the Chinese fairytales she told me growing up were true. And I'm gonna burn in hell.
[Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Prue is cleaning. Phoebe walks in.]
Phoebe: Man trouble?
Prue: I don't wanna talk about it. By the way, where were you last night? (Phoebe starts cleaning.) Something wrong?
Phoebe: I don't wanna talk about it.
Prue: Okay, you never clean and you'll talk about anything. What's up?
Phoebe: Nothing.
(Phoebe starts scrubbing the bench. Prue stops her.)
Prue: Phoebe.
Phoebe: Okay, I had a premonition, a really bad one too. I saw a guy getting run over buy a pink Cadillac.
Prue: A pink Cadillac?
Phoebe: I know is sounds ridiculous but it's true, I saw it and I don't know what to do about it.
Prue: Did you warn him?
Phoebe: I tried, he thought I was out of my mind, thought I was stalking him or something. I mean, how do you tell a complete stranger that you know they're gonna die?
Prue: Where is he now?
Phoebe: Hotel Neptune.
Prue: What were you doing there?
Phoebe: I knew you were going to ask that. I wanted to get you a really great birthday present to make up for all those cards, so I got a job at the hotel as their lounge psychic. Go ahead, yell at me.
Prue: Phoebe, you have to save him, you can't let him out of your sight.
Phoebe: Don't worry, I waited until he went to sleep and then I broke a key off in his door to lock him in. He's safe ‘til morning. (Prue continues cleaning.) Hey, wait, that's it? You're not gonna get mad at me?
Prue: You were trying to do something good. And now you're gonna get to do something wonderful. I couldn't ask for a better birthday present than that.
(Piper and Mark walk in.)
Piper: Hey, guys, you have to see this.
Mark: They found my body.
(Piper turns on the TV.)
Reporter: Although police report that the body was burned beyond recognition...
Mark: It's finally over.
Reporter: Personal affects found at the scene, preliminarily identify him as Tony Wong, head of the Chinatown triad.
Mark: That can't be, that's the guy who killed me.
(Phoebe has a premonition of Tony loading bullets into a gun.)
Phoebe: Wait, I see him. Wong, he's still alive.
Mark: Of course he's still alive, that's me they found.
Prue: Can you see where he is now?
Phoebe: I see a sign. Uh, quick, give me a pen.
(Piper hands her a pen.)
Mark: I don't understand why Wong would wanna kill me. I never did anything to him.
Prue: Yeah, but you look a lot like him. Maybe he used you to fake his own death.
(Phoebe holds up her palm where she has drawn two Chinese symbols.)
Phoebe: What does that mean?
Mark: Wu han(?) Imports. It's a warehouse over in Chinatown...
