PART FOUR

EXT. MAGIC SCHOOL - DAY

Leo falls to the ground CRYING.

LEO: It's my fault. It's all my fault.

Paige bends down by Leo and holds him. She is also crying. Pheobe watches them silently.

PAIGE: It's not your fault, Leo. You had no idea this would happen.

She looks up at Pheobe.

PAIGE (cont'd): Leo could use a little support.

Pheobe looks from Paige to Leo, then to Wyatt. Without saying a word, she shimmers away.

LEO: (distraught) I caused this. It's my fault. I've killed my boy.

PAIGE: Leo, you didn't cause anything...and you didn't kill anyone. Please, don't say that.

LEO: Paige, if you only knew. If I just hadn't...

PAIGE: Just hadn't what?

Leo looks up at adult Wyatt.

PAIGE (cont'd): Leo? Just hadn't what? What did you do?

Leo jumps up.

LEO: It's not important. It can be fixed. It doesn't have to be like this. Chris doesn't have to be dead.

ADULT WYATT: If you're thinking what I think you are, then...

LEO: You can reverse this. I know there is something you can do.

ADULT WYATT: No...there is nothing I can do. Chris is gone.

LEO: I know you must hate me for what I did to you, but that's not the issue right now...just help your brother. He's the innocent one in all of this.

ADULT WYATT: I don't hate you. I like being like this. I'm free because of it. But I can't bring Chris back.

LEO: Why not? You're the powerful one. More powerful than all of us.

ADULT WYATT: I don't raise the dead...or the nonexistent.

LEO: But you can. I know you can. Do a spell. Bring him back.

WYATT: I can't.

LEO: Do you hate your brother that much?

PAIGE: (tenderly) Leo...

ADULT WYATT: If I hated him, then I wouldn't have come back to get him.

LEO: Well, then...(yelling) Bring him back. Bring him...

EXT. HEAVENLY PLANE - DAY

Piper rocks back and forth holding Wyatt. She is crying. The Elder watches on quietly.

PIPER: ...back. Please bring him back.

ELDER: I can't. What's done has been done, and I can't do anything to help him now. He's just gone.

PIPER: He's my baby. You're an Elder. You can do something.

ELDER: I'm sorry, Piper, but there is nothing I can...

Suddenly the Elder, Piper, and Wyatt freeze.

EXT. MAGIC SCHOOL - CONTINUOUS

Leo, Paige, and adult Wyatt are frozen. The events of the last few minutes begin to rewind slowly. A blur rushes past them, then there is a bright FLASH, and:

INT. GRAND HALL - ENTRANCE - NIGHT

Adult Wyatt and Pheobe watch as Az magically moves the knife into adult's Chris' chest. Electricity circles around Pheobe's hands.

PHEOBE: Let's do this.

BIANCA (off screen): You don't have time.

Both Pheobe and adult Wyatt look around to see Bianca standing there.

PHEOBE: Bianca?

ADULT WYATT: What are you doing here? I told you to stay there, just in case...

BIANCA: Something happened...I don't know what, but the future is much worse.

ADULT WYATT: Chris!

BIANCA : Wyatt, you orb over and grab Chris now. We don't have much time. We've gotta move.

PHEOBE: And what do I do?

BIANCA: Just stand there and look pretty.

INT. GRAND HALL - NIGHT

Adult Wyatt orbs in front of adult Chris.

AZ: What are you doing here?

Adult Wyatt creates a fireball in his hand and throws it at Az. Az shimmers away before the fireball hits him.

Adult Chris looks at adult Wyatt. He is very weak.

ADULT CHRIS: Your orbs were black. You're still evil?

ADULT WYATT: That's the last thing you need to be worrying about. It's time to get you out of here.

EXT. MAGIC SCHOOL - DAY

Paige and Leo orb into the spot where the portal opened.

PAIGE: Okay, this is the spot.

The portal opens. Adult Wyatt steps out carrying adult Chris with Bianca by his side.

LEO: Wyatt? Chris?

ADULT WYATT: No time to chat, dad.

ADULT CHRIS: (out of it) What's going on?

Adult Wyatt orbs Bianca, him, and Chris away. Pheobe walks out of the portal, looking upset.

CUT TO:

INT. THE MANOR - ATTIC - CONTINUOUS

Adult Wyatt orbs the three of them to the attic where a triquetra is drawn on the wall.

BIANCA: Hear these words. Hear the rhyme. Heed the hope within my mind. Send me back to where I'll find what I wish in place and time.

The triquerta glows and a portal opens. Adult Chris begins to fade in and out.

ADULT WYATT: Everything will be fine now, little brother. Everything will be as it should.

Adult Wyatt quickly jumps into the portal. Bianca follows quickly behind. The portal closes.

EXT. MAGIC SCHOOL - CONTINUOUS

Paige and Leo stand in shock.

PAIGE: What exactly just happened here?

LEO: I have no idea.

Paige looks at Pheobe.

PAIGE : Are you okay?

PHEOBE: I've never been better.

And energy ball forms in her hand. Paige reaches into her pocket, then throws a bottle of potion at Pheobe. Pheobe glows slightly. She looks at Paige and Leo.

PHEOBE (cont'd): What happened?

PAIGE: Wyatt kinda turned you evil.

PHEOBE: Why do I always have to be the evil one?

PAIGE: I guess you just have that look. But I'm glad to have you back.

PHEOBE: It's good to be back.

They hug.

LEO: We need to find Piper.

Pheobe lets go of Paige and looks at Leo.

PHEOBE: You two find Piper. I need to talk to Leslie.

PAIGE: Oh, I was going to ask how the lunch date went.

PHEOBE: Not well. I ended up ditching him at the restaurant.

PAIGE: Ohh.

PHEOBE: Yeah...I know. I'll meet you guys at home a little later.

LEO: All right.

He turns to Paige and takes her arm.

LEO (cont'd): Lead the way...since I can't.

PHEOBE: What're you...

Paige orbs her and Leo away.

PHEOBE (cont'd): ...talking about?

She shrugs and turns. She walks a short distance, before she shimmers away.

EXT. HEAVENLY PLANE - DAY

Piper holds onto Chris and faces the Elder. Wyatt stands by her side. The Elder paces back and forth.

PIPER: Can I please go back down now? I've told you as much as I can.

ELDER: I can't let you go just yet, not until the investigation is over.

PIPER: Investigation? What? Are you and Inspector Sheridan working together to bring us down?

ELDER: We just want to be sure that Leo didn't kill Zola.

PIPER: Or is it the other way around? You want him to turn out to be the killer.

ELDER: No, Piper. We want to help Leo not hurt him. With a litle guidance, he can be the way he once was.

PIPER: An Elder tried to kill his first son, and that same Elder killed his second son. He trusted all of you, and look what happened.

ELDER: That was just one Elder, not all of us.

PIPER: But the majority of you thought Wyatt was evil. You wanted him dead.

ELDER: No. That's not what we wanted at all. We were just concerned, that's all. Gideon took it too far.

PIPER: I don't want to hear anymore. Send me back down. I'm ready to leave.

The Elder looks at her as if he is agitated.

INT. MANOR - SITTING ROOM - DAY

Leo is sitting on the couch. Paige orbs in. Leo jumps up.

LEO: Well?

PAIGE: The house is completely empty. I mean, besides us.

LEO: I wonder where they are. Anything could be happening to them.

Leo sits back down.

PAIGE: Maybe she took them to the park. Maybe she just wanted to get out of the house. It doesn't mean she's in danger.

Paige sits next to him.

LEO: I guess you're right. It's just that I feel so powerless.

PAIGE: That's because you are.

LEO: You know what I mean.

PAIGE: How'd you lose your powers anyway?

LEO: The Elders. They thought I was a threat.

PAIGE: A threat to who?

LEO: I don't know.

PAIGE: Well, maybe if you talk to them.

Leo stands, and is soon pacing around the room.

LEO: It won't work.

PAIGE: How do you know?

LEO: Because they wont...

Piper orbs in with Chris in her arms and Wyatt by her side.

PIPER: Well, it's about time.

LEO: Piper!

Paige stands up. Leo runs over to Piper.

PIPER: Don't hug me. You'll wake Chris.

LEO: Oh...sorry. Where have you been? And why did you orb in?

PIPER: Long story.

She motions for Paige.

PIPER (cont'd): Here...

She hands Chris to Paige.

PIPER (cont'd): Take Chris and put him to bed. Take Wyatt too. They're both exhausted.

PAIGE: No problem. At least we know that Chris is fine now. Wyatt must've gotten him back before...

PIPER: Uh...what?

PAIGE: I'll fill you in when you get back. (to Wyatt) Let's go. Come with your aunt Paige.

She leaves the room. Piper turns to Leo.

PIPER: An Elder took us up there. He thought we were in danger.

LEO: From who?

PIPER: Apparently from you.

LEO: That's ubsurd. I would never do anything to hurt you, Chris, or Wyatt.

PIPER: I know that. But apparently they think you're this crazed killer, killing anything that gets in his way.

LEO: That's not true.

PIPER: He asked about Zola.

Leo looks at her. A worried expression covers his face.

LEO: What about him?

PIPER: He wanted to know if you had told me anything. I told him that I didn't.

Leo breathes a sigh of relief. He sits down on the couch. Piper sits next to him.

LEO: They must be on to me. If the Elders ever found out that I killed Zola, I don't know what they would to to me.

PIPER: Well, I can tell you what they would do to you.

Leo looks curiously at Piper. She slowly stands up and morphs into Hael.

LEO: Wha...?

Leo quickly jumps but finds himself surrounded by six other Elders.

Piper orbs into the room. She looks around.

PIPER: Where are Chris and Wyatt?

HAEL: Safe in their room.

He turns to Leo. A glowing-white pair of handcuffs magically appear on both Leo and Piper's wrists.

PIPER: What's going on?

HAEL: You both will be severly punished. Leo for the death of Zola, and Piper for covering up for him.

LEO: You tricked me.

HAEL: I'm sorry, Leo, but I was the only way.

With that the Elders, along with Piper and Leo orb out.

Paige walks into the room, looking around.

PAIGE: Piper? Leo?

INT. THE UNDERWORLD - SEER'S CAVE - NIGHT

The SEER steps up to the cauldron that is filled with the silver-colored bubbling liquid and waves her hand over it.

SEER: Your plan worked perfectly.

MALE VOICE (off screen): As I knew it would.

The Seer turns to face a MAN, who's face is half human, half demon. The demon side is purple, with tiny spikes coming out of it's face. He approaches her.

SEER: But I don't see why you went through all the trouble. I'm sure there was an easier way.

DEMON: But this one worked so well. When Chris died from Gideon's attack, I knew sending him that Hell Dimension would disrupt the future, especially if evil Chris was still there.

SEER: Making Wyatt come along to rescue his brother. He could risk Bianca coming along, and something happening to her...

DEMON: But he needed someone evil to go in the Hell Dimension with him.

SEER: The powers of good don't work down there.

DEMON: I knew he would turn one of the Charmed Ones evil. Paige thought she turned Pheobe back. She'll be in for a surprise soon. That naive thing.

SEER: And the added bonus, Piper and Leo getting sent away. Leaving poor Paige all alone.

DEMON: Pheobe evil, Piper and Leo being dealt with by the Elders, and Paige to fend for herself...this was almost too easy. I'll be the taking the credit for the Charmed Ones' deaths.

The Seer walks from the cauldron and wraps her arms around the demon.

DEMON (cont'd): Starting with...

The demon looks into the cauldron. In it, the liquid shows Paige standing by herself, looking scared and confused.

DEMON (cont'd): Paige.
