Charmed s07e16 Episode Script

Weren't we here before? Doesn't|that mattress look strangely familiar? That's probably because|we saw one like it in the last alley and the 150 before that.
They all start to look|the same after a while.
Now where is this paragon of good|we're supposed to protect? Hey, slow down.
|We gotta be careful.
I just need to get home|before Leo is sentenced.
When the Elders hand down|their punishment, you're gonna know.
Well, this waiting business sucks! Leo was an Avatar for less time than|it's taking them to make up their minds.
It's gonna be okay.
|You're not gonna lose Leo again.
The Elders still need him.
|They're not gonna do anything rash.
Besides, it's Phoebe|we should be worrying about.
Her man's disappearing tonight.
Her what? She didn't tell me|she had a thing for Drake.
Well, she didn't tell me either, but he's cute, he's funny, he's smart|and he's destined to leave.
That sounds like her type to a T.
How many times does a girl have|to get hurt before she just wakes up! So you think she's the innocent.
No I don't think she's the innocent.
|I think she definitely has a part Behind you, the innocent.
If you women need a hot meal|and a place to crash Okay, hi.
I'm wearing lip gloss,|do I look homeless? For god sakes.
I think Phoebe's just|been unlucky in love lately.
Do ya think? Hey! Ugly, metal thing! Did we know|that the female spits thorns? We need to have Leo look at this.
It's fine, really.
Leo? - Why are you wearing those?|- The Elders made their decision.
- I have to go.
|- Right now? You can't go right now, the boys are|in school, you won't be able to say This isn't goodbye, okay? I'm just|going to find out what my punishment is.
You make it sound like|it's no big deal.
What if it's bad? Well, then we'll deal with it.
You're the one who said|the Elders couldn't yank me away.
That was before I had time|to stress out about it.
At least now we're gonna know.
|That's a good thing.
The waiting's been killing us.
Yeah, I know, it's just|I have a bad feeling.
Me too.
But we've been through worse.
We just have to have faith.
- I love you.
|- I love you too.
Good luck.
Unfortunately the council has been|unable to decide your fate, Leo.
So that's good, right? - I'm not gonna be punished?|- We didn't say that.
We understand and we fully accept how being betrayed by an Elder,|by Gideon, led you to the Avatars.
That doesn't excuse your betraying us.
The council has come to realize that the problem is your effort|to balance two worlds, yours with us and yours with Piper.
The only solution is to find out which|world you belong in, once and for all.
- How?|- A test, if you will.
You'll be made mortal, stripped of your|powers and memories and relocated.
If the love you share for Piper is so|strong that you're drawn back to her, then you will live with her forever.
To live fully as a human, without any|interference from us, ever again.
What if I never find her? Then what? Then it means that your destiny|is with us, and we will welcome you.
- You'll never see your family.
|- You out of your mind? I won't do that.
- You have no choice.
|- You have to know, Leo.
This is not about punishing you,|this is about helping you find your way.
If I end up with Piper, how do I know|you won't eventually butt in again? Or if I wind up with you as an Elder, how do you know I'm not gonna|leave, by falling from grace? - No Elder has ever done that before.
|- You take away my family and I will.
We're not taking away anything from you.
This is about you|making a choice.
Not us.
Don't you see? This is the only way.
Your heart will guide you to your|destiny, be it love or the greater good.
Whatever way it turns out,|we will honour it.
As you also must.
Fine, I'll do it.
But first,|I'm gonna say 'bye to Piper.
It doesn't work that way.
Look, I said I'd take your damn test.
|I'm gonna say goodbye to my family.
No! The test begins now! - Come on, we gotta get you outta here.
|- Come on.
Check on his legs.
|Move the Jeep! Go! Go! Go! What the hell.
|You got any idea what you're doing? Bite down! Get in there! How the hell did you know to do that? It doesn't look too bad.
|They should be able to sew that up.
Got lucky for once,|almost runnin' over a doctor.
You are a doctor, right? I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know? Leo went to the Elders this morning,|haven't heard from him since.
That's crazy.
|We've been to the Alps and back.
How long does it take|to hand down a sentence? In defence of the Elders, when you live|for an eternity, time does get skewed.
Well, we're human, so this is torture.
This is ridiculous.
Listen, what the hell did you do to Leo? We tried that already,|didn't work so much.
I'm not saving another innocent till I|find out what happened.
You hear me? I'm not saving another innocent|till you tell us what's going on here! Don't worry.
- Leo's fine.
|- So then where is he? Piper, the Elders came to|the consensus that Leo has lost his way.
So we've sent him on a path|towards following his destiny.
Like the prodigal son|out to find his way in the world? This Elder speak is not working for me.
I need straight answers.
|What exactly did you do to him? We erased his memories|and put him back on Earth, as a mortal.
- Somewhere you'll never find him.
|- What? He doesn't remember anything? Piper or his sons? Nothing? - Not even having been an Elder.
|- That's crazy.
You don't have the right|to wipe out someone's mind.
- An entire life, my life?|- Leo was not just someone, Piper.
He was an Elder, by his own choice.
|He knew all that that entailed.
He was also a husband|and a father by choice, and he would never abandon his family! This was not an easy decision for us, we love Leo up there|as much as you do down here.
He wasn't killed, or recycled.
I hope|that you can find comfort in that.
You lobotomized the love of my life|and you want me to take comfort in what? You've got a lot of nerve, lady.
Now I don't want to see you again|or any of your kind, ever again.
We're done with all of you.
Now please, go.
Don't give up hope.
You need to stop talking.
|Now get out of my house.
That's ridiculous.
Piper, I know this seems|really bad but we can't give up hope.
Leo is out there somewhere, and I'm sure|there's lots of ways we can find him.
- How?|- I don't know.
We can scry for him.
He doesn't have|his powers, so that might be difficult.
- We could I don't know.
|- This is your idea of a rah-rah speech? You're supposed to cheer her up,|not push her off the ledge.
Well, you know what, Paige?|Maybe I'm just rah-rah-ed out.
Maybe it's time we face the fact that|perhaps we're not meant to find love.
That is ridiculous.
How many Halliwell women have actually|been able to hold on to their men? Name one.
You're right.
That's so depressing.
Exactly.
We're destined to be spinsters.
- All for the greater good.
|- We might as well be nuns.
- With better outfits.
|- Now we all right, let's 86 that kind of talk now people,|we will not give up on love.
Repeat, not give up|on love, love is everything.
That's why you're here,|that's why I'm here.
I thought you were here to teach.
The point is, you're young, you're hot, you got magic powers, come on,|the whole life's ahead of you! That's sweet,|and we appreciate you trying, but you die at midnight,|and we have to keep fighting.
But love never dies.
You might as well|die with me if you're gonna give up.
Leo and Piper's love,|it's epic, it's massive, like Romeo and Juliet, Anthony|and Cleopatra, Brad and Jennifer.
All tragedies, I might add.
Better to have loved and lost than yada|yada yada.
The point is it's not lost.
I mean, he's lost, but he's not lost.
|All you gotta do is find Leo.
Either way, if the Elders|don't want us to find him, we're not gonna be able to.
They're gonna leave it up to him.
Come on.
The longer you take to look for|Leo, the harder he's gonna be to find.
Or we can stay here|and feel sorry for ourselves.
My husband just developed|a serious case of amnesia.
- Give me a moment!|- Phoebe.
If love isn't worth|fighting for, then what is? We'll look in the Book of Shadows|and see if there's a way to find Leo.
Amen.
- I could check at Magic School.
|- Now we're talkin'.
Piper, Call Darryl.
Now that Leo's|mortal, he might be able to track him.
- Could we go upstairs?|- What? The Book of Shadows.
Let's go.
That ought to do it.
|Once we get you in the system, we'll be on the road|to finding out who you really are.
- Thanks.
|- You sure you don't remember anything? Normally, a person with|amnesia remembers something.
I wish I did.
Believe me.
Well, at least we know|you're one of the good guys.
Saved old Clyde's life.
The paramedics told me that the way you|fixed up his leg looked professional.
Instinct, I guess.
It seems to me that|you could be a doctor, or a medic or something.
- Anything ring a bell?|- No, nothing.
It's okay.
It'll come to you.
|Just gonna take some time.
You see that? Old Glen's|got you on the database already.
You're bound to be a bit jumpy.
I'm guessing you went through|some kind of hell to get here.
Yeah, maybe.
Let me take you to Nadine's|to get something to eat while we sift through the computer.
I'd rather stay here.
A man can't think straight|on an empty stomach.
Besides, chances are you got some|loved ones out there looking for you, and once we get the word out,|they'll find you soon enough.
Come on.
We'll never find him,|not scrying anyway.
And I don't think we're gonna|make it to the Taj Mahal by sunset.
I feel terrible about|ruining your last day here.
Don't scry for me, Argentina.
|I'm exactly where I want to be.
- In a dingy attic?|- Helping those I'm leaving behind.
See, that's the other|really irritating thing.
You're hell-bent on helping Piper and|Leo, and yet you won't let us help you.
Phoebe, I made a deal.
I got to be human|for a whole year, my time is up.
I know, but you made|a deal with a demon.
We're the good guys, the Charmed Ones,|why don't you let us help you? Because I've done all I need to do to|die a happy man, all except one thing.
- See Niagara Falls?|- Make sure you don't give up on love.
Please.
Not that again.
Look, I'm just being realistic.
I have been heartbroken|so many times by love, that I'm beginning to think that|I'm supposed to live my life without it.
That is ridiculous.
Nobody is.
I've been demonic without love.
|I know what I'm talking about.
Love is transcendent, it's miraculous.
It also can save Piper and Leo.
Well, I hope so, because if it can't|I'm joining the convent.
The Elders|had an original thought for once.
There's no precedent|for what they've done.
We can't find anything either.
Maybe I should try scrying for him, maybe my Whitelighter side|can tap into something in him.
It would be great to be able|to tell Piper something good for once.
Darryl, you have|to do something, anything.
I'm doing the best that I can.
The only fingerprints that I have|on Leo are from World War II, and I can't use them because they don't|match his photograph, he's too young.
- But you have to find him.
|- I will, I promise.
- It just might take a little time.
|- Well, how long? Long enough that he has|a new life, a new wife and new kids? - That is not acceptable!|- Piper, just take a breath.
I don't need to take a breath,|I need to find my husband! Oh, God.
Somebody please help me! Oh, no! Am I dead again?! Well, not yet, anyway.
I don't know which is worse.
|The fact that I'm dying, or that I'm gonna be spending|my last dying moments with you.
I'd say that's what|you should be worried about.
You're not looking so hot.
- What?|- What? - What are you doing here?|- You called for me.
- I didn't call for you.
|- You asked for help.
Here I am.
You're the answer to my prayers?|I don't think so, that's just plain Piper! Oh, my God! Piper! Piper, wake up! Piper! - Guys, hi, over here.
|- They can't hear you.
Or see you.
Thorn demon, I knew|I should have had Leo heal her.
Or maybe it's the shock of losing Leo? - Maybe both.
|- Guys! Look really, over here! Watch.
- Nice try.
|- Shut up! I've run into a few|of these thorn demons myself.
Those pricks can be vicious.
Pun intended.
The poison|works slowly but is also fatal.
Wait, fatal? We're gonna have|to call the Elders to heal her.
Over my dead body.
- Piper will kill us.
|- She'll be alive! If it's slow working,|that'll give us time.
Maybe we can have|some sort of options.
I hate this.
I feel so out of control,|like there's nothing we can do.
We gotta find Leo.
- He can't help us anymore.
|- He's the only one who can.
You weren't paying attention|to my love rant.
- Are you saying she's lovesick.
|- That's ridiculous.
And it can kill her.
Happens|all the time to the bereaved.
If we heal Piper, she still needs Leo.
Pay attention.
|He could be on to something.
What do you know? You and I should go down to see Darryl|and help speed this whole thing up.
Come on.
It's a poison thorn.
Could|somebody please go check the Book? I'm gonna check the Book upstairs,|see what I can do for Piper.
- Call us if she gets worse.
|- Don't worry, love will conquer all.
What beauty.
"She doth teach|the torches to burn bright.
" What? Nothing.
Since when do you quote Shakespeare? It's a recent affliction, actually.
But the demon is right,|you know.
It is all about love.
What are you, exactly? Ghost?|Demon? Poltergeist? Nightmare? None of the above.
We're caught in a cosmic void between life and death.
- I'm stuck with you?|- No.
If you play your cards right,|you can get out of this limbo.
I'm the one who's here for all eternity.
Paying penance for your evil past.
You were the smart one.
- Cut the crap.
|- And direct.
I miss that.
Actually, no, I don't.
Can you please just tell me|what you're doing here? Simple.
I'm here to help keep you|and Leo together.
Right.
I'm trying to do a good deed, make|sure that you don't end up like me.
- This is the thanks I get.
|- I know what you're doing.
This is just a ploy to break out of your|ungodly plane and back into our lives.
- See? I'm right.
|- I'm not above an ulterior motive.
- Exactly.
|- But l'm here for one reason|and one reason only: To help you find your love|while you still can.
Looks like you worked up an appetite|being the big hero this morning.
Since it's on the house, why don't you|try something a bit more substantial? No, this is amazing.
|I think it was the best pie I ever had.
I'd take that as a compliment, except that you can't remember|tying your own shoelaces.
I bet you have someone somewhere|who cooks for you just fine.
When it all comes back to you.
I'm sorry,|I tend to stick my foot in it.
It's okay.
|Just wish I could remember.
It looks like you had|a wedding ring on.
I guess.
- Maybe she dumped you.
|- What? No Maybe she smacked you on the head|with some cast iron for cheatin' on her and knocked you out.
I wish I'd done that when I found|my husband cheatin' on me.
She didn't dump me.
Are you remembering somethin'? Just a feeling.
Yes, amnesia,|he doesn't remember a thing.
His family's getting desperate.
Yeah, we'll send|a photo right over.
Thank you.
Like searching for|a needle in a haystack.
I know it's daunting|but we can't give up hope.
Maybe that Elder didn't want us to.
What are you saying? I think she was trying|to tell Piper something.
Why would she tell Piper not to|give up hope if hope was already lost? - Do you think it's a test?|- If it is, it's one we'd better pass.
Any luck? Besides the John Doe that you two found,|my guys have come up with two more.
Any way we can speed this up? I have as many men as I can|without drawing suspicion.
This looks like something|you want to see.
A John Doe saved|some guy's life in Texas.
- Can I help ya?|- I don't know.
Maybe.
Are you going to San Francisco? - Want a ride?|- Sure.
All right, well hop in.
Thanks.
You gotta have a remedy in here.
Come on, damn it! Sorry.
I just let a little bit of the old demon|slip out there.
Won't happen again.
Come on, would you? "Tips for future Whitelighters.
To my sons Wyatt and Chris.
" Future Whitelighters, huh? Stubbornness|is definitely a family trait.
You've tried going upstairs twice,|out the front door four times and through the wall five Make that six times.
But you haven't tried the chimney yet.
- I thought ghosts could go any place.
|- You're not a ghost.
You will be if you don't|start trusting me.
There is only one way out.
The last Halliwell that trusted you|ended up burying your demonic spawn.
Not one of my finer moments.
But Phoebe will make a great mom.
Can|you blame me for wanting to be the dad? - You're wasting your time.
|- Is that any way to treat family? - You're starting to get on my nerves.
|- Why? Because I know you so well? Remember, I go all the way back|to Prue.
I was at your wedding.
Fact is, Leo and I are a lot alike.
We both tried to change the world|to save our marriages.
You are nothing alike.
Just because we have history doesn't|mean you know anything about me or love.
Like it or not, Phoebe and I|were very much in love.
Until she suddenly fell out of love|with you rather quickly, remember? I'll never forget.
|That's why we were doomed.
But you and Leo aren't.
What you have is powerful, enduring.
A lot of good it's done us.
He's wandering around aimlessly with|no idea who he is, and I'm in a coma.
Look, you have someone out there who|needs you as much as you need him.
If you don't have faith in that love,|it's not the only thing that'll die.
If Leo's not here, we've got nothing.
We should have come here first|instead of traipsing all over the map.
He can't be far, the sheriff just|saw him here not too long ago.
Hi, maybe you can help us? We're looking for somebody,|this guy right here.
Have you seen him? I didn't think a fellow|like that'd stay lost for long.
He left about an hour ago,|hitched a ride on a big rig.
- A big rig?|- Any idea where they were headed? West, I think.
|Had some kind of California sign.
I'm gonna call Darryl, have him|get in touch with the highway patrol.
Look, we really need to find|him and we're running out of time.
We need a car.
- What was that intersection?|- I don't know.
Just keep going West.
It's a bumpy ride.
|Newer rigs have better shocks.
But maybe it'll jog your memory.
It does feel like it's starting|to come back some.
- I know somebody needs me.
|- I'm not surprised.
I heard how you saved|that man's life back there.
Anybody else would have|done the same thing.
You are wrong there.
|Not everybody's got the calling.
Maybe this means there's a bunch|of somebodys out there that need you.
Maybe it's your love of helping others|that you're really looking for.
You obviously have the healing touch.
I don't know about that.
Although it did seem familiar,|like I had a purpose.
Perhaps you were working|for the greater good, helping people|when you lost your memory.
Maybe you sense that the people|that you were helping still need you.
I guess I have to hang in there|till my memory comes back, huh? Listen to that inner voice.
You sound more|like a man of the cloth.
In a way, maybe I am.
You learn a lot about life on the road.
|It's lonely sometimes, but I take heart in knowing that|whatever sacrifices I make personally, I'm bringing people what they need.
|To me that's what it's all about.
I'm gonna head north soon.
|You're welcome to join us.
'Us'? Others who think like I do.
|You know, who want to help.
If you think that you're meant to be|somewhere else, that's okay too.
It's up to you.
I'm not sure what's so hard to grasp.
Love transcends every plane|of existence, all you need to do is believe in it and send it to Leo.
What does that mean? I don't understand.
I could never get through to you.
I could sense when there|was something wrong with Phoebe.
Leo is not sensing that|something is horribly wrong with me.
Because he doesn't know who you are.
Which means it's gonna take a bigger|jolt from you to jog his memory.
It's odd how invested you are, considering I'm the one|who helped vanquish you.
You know, bygones and all.
|But you're changing the subject.
Yes I am.
|And this is not gonna go any further until you tell me|what you're getting out of this.
Me? I don't know what you're talking about.
I know you as well|as you think you know me.
So if you want me to trust you,|then you need to come clean first.
I don't want Phoebe to give up on love.
What? She hasn't been able to find love|since me, or at least hold on to it.
I know that's my fault.
You should have thought of that|before you decided to become the source of all things evil.
I already feel guilty enough, all right? Why aren't you talking|to Phoebe about this? You're my only hope.
I'm cursed|to live in eternity without love.
I don't want Phoebe to be cursed too.
|She needs love, she deserves it.
She's not gonna keep looking|for it unless you give her a reason.
You and Leo are that reason.
All right.
|So how I do this love beacon thing? All you need to do is let go, so that|you move on to the next cosmic plane.
I see.
You mean|the one where I'm dead.
It's the only way|to get through to Leo.
No.
I can't.
I have a family,|I have boys that need me.
- That doesn't even make any sense!|- Yes, it does.
A person halfway across the world knows the instant|their loved one is hit by a car.
It's because they're struck with|a sudden burst of love, a psychic shock.
The shock that can only come|from loss of a loved one.
You need to let go.
You need to die.
What happens when that doesn't work? What happens when he doesn't feel|this psychic jolt and I'm just dead? I can't take that chance.
Besides, my sisters will figure out|a way to save me, they always do.
And then you risk|losing Leo and your boys for good.
Can you take that chance? This is where I head north.
|What's it gonna be? I've been thinking|about that work you're doing.
I can assure you,|there is nothing more rewarding.
It would be nice|to have a sense of purpose.
You need to make a choice.
|Every man does.
I know.
- This has to be it.
|- I hope we're not too late.
Your destiny lies ahead of you.
|Which way is it gonna be? Let's go.
You made the right decision.
- Leo, thank God.
|- Sorry, do I know you? What are you doing here?|And what did you do to Leo? We let destiny run its course.
|And so should you.
- Piper?|- I got here as soon as I could.
The damn Elders.
None of this would|be happening if they didn't take Leo.
You're right.
We have to get the Elders.
|They're the only ones who can help.
Even if they heal her body,|only Leo can heal her soul.
Unfortunately,|Leo chose the Elders over Piper.
It's not like we can|force him to remember his wife.
But you can.
|And you better do it fast.
Trust me, it's your only hope.
And hers.
Your destiny is with Leo.
|You need to learn to trust that.
This can't be a dead end.
Let me double check the Book.
I was very thorough,|there's nothing there.
What was that? Wait, I know what to do.
|Orb me to the bridge.
She just woke up,|we can't just leave her.
I'll stay with her.
|Go work on her spirit.
Bridge, now! You can do it, Piper.
Look, we know you have Leo.
|Bring him down here now! Leo, Piper's dying.
|You have to come with us.
I'm sorry, who? He doesn't know who she is|or who you are.
- You did this to him.
|- Leo has chosen his own path.
By you leading him there?|How is this a fair test? Some things are so important|that they cannot be left to chance.
You need to come home now|because Piper needs you.
- I'm there for all those in need.
|- Look, this is not a test.
He's made his own decision.
It's done.
No, it's not done.
|Leo and Piper are still in love.
You can erase his memory|but you can't erase that.
It'll seep into his consciousness|until he remembers.
I know this is a great loss for you and|that you're going to need time to mourn.
No.
We won't.
Because he's not gonna leave,|you can't take him away from Piper.
Look, their love is true.
It's a true love,|and it's bigger than you, and the Elders, and all of this.
What are you doing? Oh, my God! - What the hell just happened?|- He has fallen from grace.
Leo, are you okay? Take me to Piper, she needs me.
Destiny has spoken.
|He's made his choice.
He's mortal now.
You should hurry.
You're too late.
Wyatt already healed her.
- Wyatt?|- Thank God.
Good job, baby.
- How did you know he could do that?|- I didn't.
He did.
He even put it in the Book.
Looks like you got a second|generation Whitelighter on your hands.
Did you heal your mummy? You're such a big boy,|I'm so proud of you.
I thought you were never|gonna find your way home.
Your faith brought me back.
I could hear you calling me,|like you were right there next to me.
I had a good coach.
An old friend.
I'll explain later.
That looks like it hurts.
It doesn't matter.
All that matters|is that we're together again.
I'm never leaving you again.
Come here, buddy, come here.
Look who it is.
|Can you give Daddy a hug? Hug, hug, hug.
"Like as the waves|make towards the pebbled shore, so do our minutes hasten to their end.
" I'm gonna miss Shakespeare.
That's why I left you this.
The complete works|to peruse at your leisure.
Thank you.
I can't believe it's been three weeks|already, and so much has happened.
I know.
It's been such a whirlwind.
Burlesque, big fan, Sherwood Forest, I mean, come on,|hold the tights, thank you very much.
And a real life Romeo and Juliet.
That's just a typical week for us.
What do you expect? You're charmed.
You really helped me move on.
|Thank you.
Are you kidding? Thank you.
|I couldn't think of a better day to die.
Sorry.
I helped you find love.
Come on, I did, didn't I?|Come on, I did, I did.
- You did.
|- Close one.
If that doesn't get me into heaven,|I don't know what will.
I'll never forget what you did for me.
I guess I fell|for the right guy this time.
"Parting is such sweet sorrow.
" He was right.
I never knew|what that meant till right now.
I just I have|to ask you one question.
How is it that you came into my life|at the exact right time? A little bird told me.
What's magic without mystery? All right, travel check list: Leave|reference books for next instructor, bring a little wisdom|to some young minds, save epic love bask in your loving gaze.
|Yeah, that about covers it.
Alas, pumpkin time.
No need for you|to watch my messy demise.
Think of me when you dance.
I'll miss you.
You did good.
Thanks.
So did you.
I couldn't have tasted life unless|you set me up with that sorcerer.
I just wish I could save you too.
I've come to terms with my fate.
Especially now that I know|it won't be Phoebe's.
That was a bold move,|sending in thorn demons.
I had to risk everything.
Understandably.
Well here I go.
That was interesting.
Ashes to ashes.
If it's any consolation,|you did all that I asked for.
- You saved Phoebe.
|- I did more than that, buddy.
I fell in love with her.
Understandably.
Farewell, my friend.
Leo? You okay? I just can't believe|that I don't have powers any more.
I don't hear jingling.
I can't orb.
Is that bad? Are you kidding? It's great! It's everything I wanted|since I met you.
Me too.
You wanted a normal life.
You take Wyatt, I'll get Chris.
I was thinking maybe pancakes|and eggs.
How about you? Sounds normal.
