TV-Serie: Charmed - 7x20
{154}{189}Previously, on Charmed...
{191}{286}It's not gonna be easy to adjust|to life without powers overnight.
{288}{345}What am I supposed to do, huh?
I can't orb.
{346}{427}I can't go to the Elders for information.|I just want to fit in.
{428}{472}What, you want me to clean magic school?
{473}{528}No.
We want you to run it.
{529}{583}I have decided that I'm gonna go back to college.
{584}{603}College?
{604}{638}I want to get my graduate degree.
{640}{745}I can actually get my professional credentials|and maybe even be a better columnist.
{746}{798}- What's the matter?|- She has a ringing in her ears.
{799}{872}It could be, uh, your whitelighter powers,|hearing the call from the Elders.
{873}{907}You're a natural, Paige.
{908}{1000}Everything you've been and done in your life|has been preparing you to be a whitelighter.
{1001}{1110}Don't fight that.
Embrace it.|Not for the elders, but for yourself.
{1262}{1294}Ah, damn it!
{1301}{1366}Shh!
Keep it down.
I just got Chris to sleep.
{1378}{1442}Well, if you were here to help me,|you know, that would maybe help.
{1446}{1534}Yes, and I will do that, but first I need|to make sure Wyatt's okay at preschool.
{1535}{1563}Have you seen the phone?
{1564}{1621}Preschool?
Don't you mean magic school?
{1623}{1704}No, I mean preschool.
We enrolled him last week, remember?
{1709}{1756}You didn't tell me that.
Did you?
{1758}{1878}Yes, and you said you were worried|about him using magic in public.
{1882}{1928}Oh.
And what'd you say?
{1930}{2023}I said I was worried about him having a normal life.
{2045}{2093}All right.
Cool.
I'm all up to speed now.
{2094}{2198}It's just with these charges and these|demons attacking, eh, I'm a little scattered.
{2200}{2242}And that's different how exactly?
{2245}{2375}I just don't know why the Elders couldn't see fit to|give me a local witch instead of a New Zealand witch.
{2377}{2420}I don't know, but I need the phone.
{2427}{2454}No!
{2475}{2519}No.
No using the phone.
{2546}{2588}Why are all the handsets up here?
{2590}{2650}Because I am trying to prevent a demon attack.
{2651}{2671}What?
{2672}{2710}Look, all the attacks have been different, right?
{2713}{2779}And all the demons have had different powers.
{2781}{2882}The one thing I've noticed is that|every time a phone rings, a demon attacks.
{2891}{2971}No, they don't.|Phoebe called earlier and nothing happened.
{2980}{3010}Really?
{3021}{3145}Ugh!
Stop the jingling, already.|I'll be there as soon as I can.
{3155}{3185}Charges.
{3552}{3572}Piper!
{3689}{3748}You might be right about that phone thing.
{6520}{6598}That was Wyatt's preschool.|I wonder what they wanted.
{6601}{6727}Well, I am more interested in these demons and what|they wanted and try to figure out how to vanquish them.
{6731}{6813}It just doesn't sound right.|Why would demons attack when the phone rings?
{6816}{6858}And they're all different demons, remember?
{6880}{6926}The last one even looked kind of human.
{6928}{7008}Better add some mandrake root|in case they're shape shifters.
{7022}{7104}Wait, the last attack happened when|the preschool called, too, didn't it?
{7130}{7165}Yeah, I think you're right.
{7200}{7280}Do you think Wyatt is creating these demons?
{7281}{7321}That's ridiculous.
{7323}{7355}Well, he created the dragons.
{7357}{7460}One!
One lousy dragon.|You're gonna hold it against him for his entire life.
{7463}{7546}Oh, no.
Let me guess, another demon attack?
{7548}{7585}Or Wyatt's acting up again.
{7586}{7638}Or Paige is overreacting again.
{7641}{7746}Wyatt has been isolating himself|at preschool and only talking to himself.
{7751}{7815}Who said he's only talking to himself?
{7820}{7860}I heard the message.
{7870}{7892}That's odd.
{7895}{8006}No, it's not odd.
Just because he's talking|to himself does not mean he's creating demons.
{8011}{8078}Except he's kind of quiet around home.
{8079}{8098}So?
{8099}{8151}So Wyatt's in his second stage of development.
{8154}{8219}I mean, his sense of language should be maturing.
{8221}{8292}Which means he should be talking|to other people, not just himself.
{8296}{8354}I'm very sorry you went back to college.
{8355}{8406}I know, but it's really helping with my column.
{8408}{8493}And that has absolutely nothing|to do with why Wyatt is creating demons.
{8496}{8533}He's not creating demons!
{8536}{8604}Well, let's see.
Maybe it's a reaction to preschool.
{8608}{8688}Some kind of Freudian transference or something?
{8690}{8725}Mumbo-jumbo!
{8729}{8805}Look, all I'm saying is, if he's talking to himself, {8807}{8881}the problems may be normal, not magical.
{8885}{8927}Normal problems like what?
{8930}{9004}I have no idea.
It could be anything.
{9045}{9106}I could ask my professor.
She's the expert.
{9122}{9180}- But I...|- Be back soon!
{9222}{9278}Hey, what are you doing?
Put the phone down.
{9280}{9313}I have to call the preschool.
{9316}{9353}Well, then use your cell phone.
{9540}{9603}Ms.
Henderson, hey, I came as soon as I could.
{9606}{9655}Leo, what are you doing here?
{9658}{9716}Well, you called about Wyatt, right?
{9718}{9780}Yeah.
But I said it was nothing to worry about.
{9783}{9812}I thought I made that clear.
{9814}{9877}Well, I was in the area.
Is he all right?
{9880}{9921}He's just talking to himself.
{9930}{10002}I mean, I wouldn't have even bothered|calling if your wife hadn't asked me to.
{10004}{10078}She's very protective.
He's...
he's a special kid.
{10081}{10117}Oh, they're all special, Leo.
{10119}{10175}Right, but he has special needs.
{10177}{10282}Special needs?|You never said Wyatt was a special needs child.
{10285}{10360}Not like that.
He's, um, gifted.
{10379}{10411}First child?
{10418}{10455}Is it that obvious?
{10480}{10525}- Do you want to see him?|- Please.
{10669}{10705}Oh, there he is.
{10744}{10835}Oh, um, how long has he been doing that...|talking to himself?
{10849}{10933}Oh, I don't know.
On and off since|he first started coming here, I guess.
{10957}{11025}Oh, and, uh, is that normal?
{11030}{11130}Normal?
No.
But I don't think you should be alarmed.
{11132}{11209}He's just playing by himself.
Lots of kids do that.
{11262}{11323}I really like our conversations, Wyatt.
{11331}{11400}But you know I'm a secret, right?|Nobody else can see me.
{11402}{11458}You're just not used to letting him go during the day.
{11464}{11512}Happens to lots of first-time parents.
{11515}{11559}It's more complicated.
{11582}{11668}I see this every day.
Trust me, it's not.
{11691}{11750}You know, he wasn't feeling very well this morning.
{11752}{11806}Maybe I should just take him home, you know, just - {11810}{11848}...just to be safe.
{11851}{11931}Uh, well, okay, if you really think that's best.
{11933}{11970}Now we won't be able to talk much longer, {11971}{12048}but don't worry, I'll be back.
I promise.
{12050}{12141}Okay, buddy, come on.
Are you ready?|Let's go home, okay?
{12173}{12275}See you soon, Wyatt.|I want to hear more about that special teddy bear.
{12284}{12314}See you later.
{12500}{12525}Vicus.
{12580}{12610}I was getting worried.
{12611}{12644}You failed me.
{12645}{12685}We didn't fail.
{12690}{12765}We've been distracting the witches|for you, dying relentlessly.
{12766}{12816}But you haven't sustained the distractions.
{12838}{12933}The father took the boy from school,|just as I was starting to make some progress.
{12936}{12966}What?
{13012}{13072}Forget him.
We don't need his powers.
{13073}{13130}Dealing with The Charmed Ones is too dangerous anyway.
{13131}{13217}Do you think you know how to do this better than I do, Hugo?
{13220}{13361}That's not what I'm saying.|You've been working at this for, what, three weeks now?
{13368}{13420}We're risking everything here, and for what?
{13422}{13502}For us.
To add his power to yours, to the Collective.
{13530}{13662}Now, didn't I risk everything|nurturing the evil within you, {13664}{13737}Hugo, just as I did with all the others?
{13789}{13827}Yes, of course you did, but...
{13830}{13885}Then you must trust me.
{13886}{13980}See, this Wyatt will grow to become one of|the most powerful witches to ever walk the earth.
{13981}{14048}It's better he walk with us than against us.
{14065}{14106}I just worry.
{14109}{14210}Don't.
I realize that I only have a small window {14211}{14290}at this age in which to change him, but I am close.
{14330}{14365}Very close.
{14615}{14658}Um, Professor Slotkin?
{14680}{14752}Sorry, Ms.
Halliwell.
I don't have time|to discuss your paper topic right now.
{14754}{14824}No, no, it's not about the paper,|it's actually personal.
{14869}{14907}Yeah.
It's about my nephew.
{14910}{15008}He's two and a half,|and he's just going through some stuff, {15010}{15065}and I was kind of hoping|you could help me understand it.
{15078}{15109}Terrible twos?
{15110}{15211}Well, I think it started out as that,|and now it's just...
{15235}{15366}Well, at preschool he talks to himself,|and then at home he doesn't talk to anybody.
{15371}{15419}Well, perhaps he has an imaginary friend.
{15421}{15508}Although, he's a little early for that developmentally.
{15510}{15563}Well, he's very advanced for his age.
{15565}{15654}And if it was an imaginary friend,|is that necessarily a bad thing?
{15657}{15729}Freud used to think it was a sign of immature thinking.
{15732}{15839}Of course, nowadays we know that|kids create imaginary friends for lots of reasons {15842}{15965}Companionship, conflict resolution,|sometimes as a coping mechanism.
{15967}{16008}Let me write this down.
{16047}{16185}Oh, and that's Slotkin with an "S."|You were planning on giving me credit.
{16190}{16221}I'm sorry, what?
{16225}{16333}Well, last week we discussed|Lorenz's Theory of imprinting in class, {16334}{16392}and this week I read about him in your column.
{16395}{16469}I imagine we're discussing next week's content now.
{16470}{16534}No, no.
This is actually about my nephew.
{16537}{16616}Please, we both know why you're taking my class.
{16619}{16735}I'm taking your class to be a better columnist|and to understand human behavior.
{16736}{16800}I've spent years studying and teaching psychology, {16802}{16872}Ms.
Halliwell, dedicated my life to it.
{16878}{16939}But I'll be damned if I'm just|gonna let you poach my class {16940}{16992}to steal a sound bite or two for your column.
{16993}{17055}- No, but I...|- You want to learn about imaginary friends?
{17056}{17167}Do the research.|I look forward to reading your paper on it.
{17234}{17280}The truth is we don't know if it's a problem or not.
{17285}{17326}Well, that's what has me worried.
{17333}{17442}You know, maybe putting him|in a normal school wasn't such a good idea.
{17446}{17490}But we agreed it was a good idea.
{17493}{17584}And when we did that we knew there|was gonna be some road bumps like this.
{17586}{17722}Okay, well, the problem is we don't know if the road|bumps are magical or just a normal part of development.
{17738}{17789}I wish we could just ask him.
{17799}{17880}Okay, well, I think we're a few years|away from him giving you an answer.
{17883}{17960}Well, especially if he just keeps talking to himself.
{18075}{18152}Exactly.
Okay, I like the Maori people, {18154}{18227}but, uh, I'm pretty okay if I don't see them again.
{18260}{18336}I think I found out something about who's been attacking us.
{18338}{18452}Leo, would you take Wyatt upstairs|so he doesn't hear the demon talk?
{18533}{18595}Okay, buddy, let's go upstairs.|Take your Wuvey with you.
{18602}{18645}Anyway, as I was saying, ...
{18660}{18710}...
I've been searching through the library at magic school, {18712}{18770}and I think I found something out about these demons.
{18771}{18791}And?
{18792}{18913}And it seems as if their various offensive powers|are traditionally associated with good magic.
{18916}{18977}Good magic?|I thought these guys were supposed to be demons.
{18980}{19123}Yeah, thought so, too.
But it goes to kind|of support the theory that Wyatt's creating them.
{19125}{19168}Oh, for crying out loud!
{19172}{19212}I'm just saying.
{19326}{19412}Oh, this is ridiculous.|We can't live like this.
It's crazy.
{19425}{19460}Where you going?
{19475}{19568}I'm going to figure out if Wyatt|is behind this once and for all.
{19638}{19696}Ohh, big guy.
{19750}{19785}You okay, buddy?
{19940}{19970}Hey, Wyatt.
{19997}{20048}I promised I'd be back, didn't I?
{20055}{20083}Yeah.
{20126}{20151}Wyatt?
{20325}{20391}Shh!
Remember, ...
{20404}{20466}...
I'm a secret, right?
{20510}{20560}Hey, I really like your teddy bear.
{20616}{20673}Maybe you'll let me hold him some day, huh?
{20694}{20764}I've got a great surprise for both of you.
{20941}{21011}Shoot.
What rhymes with communicate?
{21045}{21082}Are you sure this is a good idea?
{21085}{21128}Of course I'm sure.
{21131}{21184}But what about the whole personal gain thing?
{21188}{21293}Wyatt created a demon who kidnapped him|and a dragon that nearly destroyed the city.
{21296}{21348}I'm not real worried about personal gain.
{21352}{21434}I know.
I guess just 'cause I'm whitelighter now,|have to think of these things, right?
{21442}{21578}Besides, we're casting it on ourselves so we can try|to understand what he's not telling us.
{21591}{21715}So if I switch this and I leave that ...
okay.
{21726}{21759}Help this mother understand {21761}{21796}the thoughts inside her little man.
{21798}{21836}Though his mouth be quiet, {21837}{21899}let us hear his inner Wyatt.
{22164}{22198}Mom?
{22239}{22296}It's me ...
Wyatt.
{22585}{22654}Mom, look at you!
You look great!
{22666}{22711}Right.
Okay.
{22720}{22794}Looks like you're as surprised|to see me as I am to be back.
{22800}{22827}Yeah.
{22830}{22857}Back from where?
{22860}{22882}The future.
{22885}{22970}Oh, no!
No, no, no!
We wanted to communicate with you...
{22973}{23047}I mean the younger you, the two and a half year-old you.
{23052}{23095}Well, if there's one thing you guys taught me, {23097}{23170}magic may work in mysterious ways, but it always works.
{23180}{23225}Where'd you hear that?
That's nice.
{23228}{23261}I'm surprised to hear you ask.
{23263}{23305}In the future you're always telling me that.
{23307}{23348}Oh!
Well, that's the future me.
{23351}{23440}I, me now, clearly doesn't have those kind|of brilliant thoughts.
Heh!
{23454}{23540}Right.
Look, all I'm saying is if your spell brought me here, {23542}{23586}there's gotta be a good reason.
{23588}{23691}Well, I don't know.
Do you remember anything about|what you were going through when you're were 2 1/2?
{23699}{23742}No, not really.
{23752}{23807}So then we're still looking for that reason.
{23810}{23894}But still this is a fantastic opportunity|that magic's brought us.
{23920}{24016}For me to see the past and|for you guys to learn about the future.
{24023}{24101}Oh, no, no.
No, no, no.
We don't want|to know anything about the future.
{24104}{24152}We don't want to risk changing it again.
{24154}{24170}Again?
{24173}{24207}Ugh!
Don't ask.
{24210}{24306}Okay.
But until we find out why magic brought me back, {24309}{24361}we could at least try and enjoy the moment, right?
{24383}{24434}How did you become such an optimist?
{24437}{24463}From you, mom.
{24505}{24564}You must've turned over a new leaf in the future.
{24567}{24672}Don't count on it.
So that doesn't help us with our Wyatt.
{24676}{24702}No.
{24711}{24751}Piper, you home?
{24776}{24893}Okay, the professor gave me some information|that I think will be useful...
who is he?
{24895}{24948}Aunt Phoebe, it's me!
Wyatt !
{24951}{24985}Wy...
what?
{24995}{25030}This is so amazing!
{25050}{25100}What, did a spell backfire?
{25101}{25127}How'd you guess?
{25138}{25193}Yeah, well, you know.|What did your professor say?
{25196}{25278}Well, she said that he probably|was talking to an imaginary friend.
{25281}{25406}I mean not...
not you.
You know,|the other you when you were...
{25409}{25442}this is gonna be so confusing.
{25445}{25474}You'll get used to it.
{25477}{25539}Okay, imaginary friends.
Ring any bells for you?
{25542}{25568}I'm afraid not.
{25571}{25664}She also said that he's a little young|for an imaginary friend.
{25667}{25697}Again, not you, just- {25698}{25747}- I got it.|- Right.
{25756}{25838}Ugh!
A te wa!
Sorry.
{25841}{25866}What language is that?
{25869}{25934}Maori.
Your New Zealand charge, right?|I remember hearing about him.
{25936}{26023}Yes, well, he can wait, because I think|this is a little bit more important.
{26025}{26086}I thought you said there was nothing|more important than your charges?
{26089}{26151}Look, mister, I'm pulling double duty here, okay?
{26152}{26186}So no guilt from the future for me.
{26189}{26248}Okay, you know what?|Can we focus on helping him, please?
{26250}{26302}Look, all I'm saying is that someone always told me {26305}{26367}that whitelighters are the glue|that keeps the magic world working.
{26370}{26410}Oh, Paige told you that?
{26419}{26523}Don't be so surprised.|Do I ever have a life in the future?
{26526}{26584}You should go, really.
We'll figure this out.
{26597}{26636}A te wa.
{26680}{26767}Okay.
So you guys cast a spell|to communicate with me, right?
{26782}{26829}So let's go talk to me.
{27014}{27043}Dad!
{27062}{27111}Hey, look at you!
You have haven't changed a bit!
{27114}{27161}Maybe a little less gray and few pounds lighter.
{27164}{27184}What?
{27185}{27215}Future son.
{27250}{27360}Hey, is this Chris?
Oh, my gosh!
He's so small.
{27365}{27433}Hey, little brother.|Is this before of after he swallowed the marble?
{27438}{27469}Marble?
What marble?
{27472}{27508}Easy on the future information.
{27510}{27534}Of course, you're right.
{27535}{27560}No, but really, what marble?
{27561}{27593}You want to explain what's going on?
{27594}{27694}Apparently they brought me here to figure out|what's wrong with me.
Is that still my room?
{27730}{27762}Explain.
{27777}{27854}If you let me see Mr.
Bear,|I will give him right back, I promise.
{27878}{27928}Hey, don't I know you?
{27956}{27991}You look familiar.
{27994}{28059}Wait.
You can see me?
{28062}{28100}What do you mean?
Of course I can.
{28101}{28125}Wyatt?
{28126}{28156}Who are you talking to?
{28183}{28235}- What's going on?|- That man, you didn't see him?
{28236}{28315}- See who?|- He was just there talking to ...
me.
{28316}{28368}"Me?"
What, do you mean you or him?
{28405}{28431}Both.
{28551}{28598}The boy was just starting to trust me.
{28600}{28687}He was about to give me the bear.|Where did this other witch come from?
{28689}{28711}What other witch?
{28712}{28829}The one who saw me.
Now how is that possible?
{28833}{28970}It doesn't matter.
They know you now.|I told you this was going to be too dangerous.
{28972}{29046}I made it so that only Wyatt could see me.
{29049}{29095}Well, then they must've found a way through your powers.
{29098}{29190}No.
No, this witch who saw me seemed surprised.
{29222}{29300}But still, he thought he knew me.
{29355}{29400}And his name was Wyatt, too.
{29451}{29499}We may have an opportunity here.
{29507}{29529}I don't follow.
{29532}{29630}Don't you see?|If I made it so that only Wyatt can see me, {29632}{29687}then that means this other witch must be Wyatt, too.
{29689}{29800}They conjured him from the future.|An older Wyatt, a good Wyatt.
{29807}{29854}But doesn't that make it worse?
{29855}{29972}If this future Wyatt is good,|then that means you never infect the boy.
{29996}{30064}Gather the collective.
We need to attack now.
{30067}{30122}Distract the sisters with everything you've got.
{30123}{30153}What do you plan to do?
{30218}{30274}I'm gonna get the boy to give me that bear.
{30277}{30415}With it, I'll finally turn him, and then I'll watch|the future change before my very eyes.
{30594}{30645}I know a demon when I see one, and that was a demon.
{30648}{30675}But you didn't actually see him.
{30678}{30774}Well, okay.
Some creepy, invisible guy|standing over my son, I'd say that's a demon.
{30777}{30814}I know how it sounds, mom.
But I'm telling you.
{30816}{30863}It just didn't seem like a demon.
It wasn't threatening at all.
{30864}{30911}Maybe it was an imaginary friend.
{30912}{30979}No.
Imaginary friends are imaginary, hence, the name.
{30982}{31069}Plus, you said he's too young to have|an imaginary friend, remember?
He's two.
{31071}{31143}Actually, I'm 25.
But I...
I know what you mean.
{31170}{31249}Look, you just ...
you don't have any idea|how much we've already been through {31251}{31299}just to make sure that you turn out okay.
{31300}{31366}Mom, I know exactly what you went through,|and it's all gonna work out.
{31368}{31450}The fact that I'm standing here in front of you|right now happy and healthy should tell you that.
{31456}{31590}Okay, fine.
Then you won't mind I.D.-ing the demon|so we can keep you happy and healthy.
{31615}{31656}Don't make me ground you.
{31660}{31687}All right.
{31697}{31857}So ...
just out of curiosity, uh,|do you have any cousins in the future?
{31860}{31939}No.
Don't answer that.
Nice try.
{31942}{32104}Wait a sec.
I think you're right.
He is a demon.
{32111}{32212}"Vicus is a demon who prays on children|turning them down the path of evil."
{32515}{32545}Okay.
{32574}{32657}Okay, buddy.
Daddy's gotta go check|on mommy, okay?
I'll be right back.
{32660}{32710}All right.
You stay here, okay?
{32890}{32941}I'll never leave you, Wyatt.
{32948}{33070}I'll always be here.
I promise.|Now show me that you believe me.
{33087}{33217}Let me see your teddy bear just for a second.|Then I'll give you both a big surprise.
{33906}{33931}Enough!
{33950}{34000}Leave my family alone.
{34197}{34232}Everything all right up there?
{34243}{34281}Oh, yeah.
We're fine.
{34520}{34560}Wyatt, what's going on?
{34606}{34631}Good.
{34770}{34805}Don't touch it.
{34820}{34849}thank you.
{34937}{34967}Dad, what happened?
{35112}{35162}Wyatt, what happened to you?
{35192}{35225}Who are you?
{35239}{35273}Who's who?
{35316}{35351}Who's he talking to?
{35365}{35392}The demon.
{35468}{35493}Follow me.
{35816}{35881}Ah.
I just feel so free.
{35890}{35960}I can't believe I spent a whole|other lifetime weighed down {35962}{36042}by the repressive morality by all that good.
{36045}{36144}Well, I'd like to give that feeling|to more good witches...
with your help.
{36148}{36256}One thing I don't understand though, is why do you hole|yourselves up in this dank lair?
It's so depressing.
{36273}{36405}Perhaps.
But it's safer.|Down here, good doesn't dare attack us.
{36407}{36473}Yeah, well, the future of evil is above ground, trust me.
{36478}{36553}We shouldn't be hiding when we have the power|to take their world if we wanted.
{36556}{36619}There'll be plenty of time for conquering later.
{36628}{36711}For now, there's still the matter of your family.
{36723}{36762}They'll want to change you back.
{36763}{36842}I know.
I also know that soon they'll|find a way to scry for our location.
{36845}{36897}Then we must attack them before they do.
{36900}{36988}No.
We want them to find us.
I know them all too well.
{36991}{37061}It's too risky to fight them at the manor.|But here, we'll have the advantage.
{37073}{37111}Because we'll be waiting for them.
{37113}{37160}You would kill your own family?
{37170}{37217}Watch me.
{37394}{37466}Are you telling me that our child is evil again?
{37470}{37571}Look, all I'm saying is that however he changed|future Wyatt, it started with the bear, okay?
{37574}{37626}He cursed it somehow.
He...he made it glow.
{37627}{37745}Okay, then we need to get that bear|away from him.
Can I have this?
{37746}{37793}Thank you.
Okay.
{37913}{37950}Phoebe, don't make him angry.
{37953}{37994}Look, we need to act fast, okay?
{37999}{38088}We need to find a way to reverse the curse|before future Wyatt does something evil.
{38091}{38196}I think we should take him to magic school.|I think he'd be safer there.
{38202}{38245}That's a good idea, and take the Book with you.
{38246}{38284}There may be something in there that can help.
{38285}{38312}What are you gonna do?
{38313}{38366}I'm gonna get Paige and see if we can find Vicus.
{38368}{38434}Maybe if we vanquish him, all of this will go away.
{38439}{38498}And if neither one of those works?
{38508}{38557}Then we're screwed.
{38581}{38614}Paige!
{38745}{38859}Luckily, we have enough demon ash that|we should be able to scry for Vicus' lair.
{38875}{38943}Yeah.
I wish I was a little bit|more confident in this potion.
{38947}{38974}What do you mean?
{38977}{39028}It's fine for the demon.
But what about Wyatt?
{39030}{39067}Well, we're not gonna fight Wyatt.
{39073}{39149}But we might not have a choice.|Because he's on the demon's side.
{39151}{39185}I don't think he'd try to kill us.
{39187}{39214}And how can you be so sure?
{39217}{39258}I can't.
But you know what?
{39260}{39328}If Piper can't change Wyatt back, then we're gonna have {39331}{39375}to vanquish the demon and hope that that does it.
{39378}{39475}And of course, we have the added problem|of not even being able to see the demon.
{39477}{39516}Only Wyatt can see Vicus.
{39518}{39565}We're just gonna have to bring a lot of vials.
{39585}{39640}And what, just throw them|everywhere and hope we hit something?
{39642}{39676}Yeah.
You have a better idea?
{39679}{39745}Normally, yes.
But sadly, this time, no.
{39765}{39867}Oh.
I got him.
Okay, better start filling those vials.
{40030}{40055}Oh, thank you.
{40072}{40117}Sweetie, why don't you let mommy see the bear?
{40131}{40218}Come on, why do you want that|silly bear anyway?
Look it.
Come on.
{40222}{40265}I don't think you're gonna convince him like that.
{40270}{40360}I just don't get it.
I mean ...
he seems as sweet as ever.
{40425}{40454}Of course, he does.
{40456}{40600}So can you tell me how this boy|turns into the future of all evil?
{40607}{40653}It's not us as parents.
{40656}{40729}Yeah, you can say that as much as you want.|But it's gotta be.
{40731}{40854}No, I...I found a reference on cursed objects changing children {40856}{40893}in incremental degrees over time.
{40896}{40961}He's two.
How much could he really have changed?
{40965}{41022}Not much.
But if he keeps in this direction, {41023}{41080}the next 25 years, he can be pretty far off path.
{41105}{41155}He will become the young man we saw.
{41155}{41208}This is ridiculous.
{41208}{41379}I mean, if it's all use of that stupid bear,|then there's gotta be a magical way around it.
{41382}{41428}A way to change it.
A way to change him.
{41470}{41512}Right.
Of course.
{41519}{41597}Right.
Of course.
But what?
{41618}{41705}It's ...
just that curses are difficult.
{41720}{41825}Often times, it's how it came about|that's more important than the magic itself.
{41840}{41943}Ok, well, we'll figure out the why later.|But right now, we need to fix this.
{42105}{42158}How much longer are we going to wait?
{42160}{42230}Patience.
Scrying takes time.
{42234}{42307}And there's the vanquishing potion|that'll keep my aunts busy for at least an hour.
{42309}{42366}Vanquishing potion?
You never said anything about that.
{42368}{42415}What?
Do you expect they're just|gonna show up empty handed?
{42419}{42466}Come on.
It's not gonna be that easy.
{42473}{42514}I don't like this.
{42517}{42545}Stop worrying.
{42546}{42599}The rest of the collective is just a shimmer away.
{42613}{42699}And besides, my aunts won't be able|to see you when you're cloaked.
{42795}{42884}Wait.
They're coming.
{42963}{43008}Have any trouble finding the place?
{43012}{43031}Where's Vicus?
{43035}{43093}Around.
But you should be worried about me.
{43095}{43126}Look.
We just wanna help you.
{43129}{43171}What makes you think I want your help?
{43175}{43234}Because we know you, and we know you're good.
{43239}{43280}That's a lot of potions you got there.
{43281}{43320}I thought you thought I was good.
{43322}{43403}These are for Vicus.
As soon as we get rid of him,|all of this will be over.
{43409}{43441}Good luck finding him.
{43715}{43755}Man, you girls are way off.
{43756}{43789}We have lots more potions.
{43790}{43825}Maybe I can help you out.
{43960}{43985}What are you doing?
{43986}{44080}Making a point.
Go ahead, vanquish him.
{44081}{44106}What?
{44209}{44269}So you thought you'd change me back, did you?
{44272}{44290}Why didn't that work?
{44293}{44336}Because I'm not under any spell.
{44341}{44412}And you can't just change me back|by simply vanquishing Vicus.
{44415}{44507}He still got to me.|And this is how evil grows over the years.
{44529}{44585}I don't plan on giving you a chance to change me back.
{44586}{44635}In fact, I'm gonna make sure you don't.
{44640}{44710}But first, this should keep you busy for a while.
{44845}{44887}These are the ones that killed Vicus.
{44919}{44958}Have fun.
{44976}{44999}Oh, and ...
{45010}{45055}No orbing, Aunt Paige.
{45417}{45454}Try it.
{45462}{45519}Evil taints what was once held dear, {45523}{45585}remove this curse away from here.
{45627}{45675}Well, I guess we'll just try another one.
{45680}{45760}It's not gonna work...|just like the last fifteen spells didn't work.
{45762}{45805}Nothing's gonna change that damn bear.
{45806}{45837}Well, we can't just give up.
{45840}{45920}What if it's not just the bear?|What if the problem is Wyatt?
{45941}{45979}You can't think like that, Piper.
{45981}{46060}Why not?
I mean, we try|and make the right decisions, {46061}{46110}and we try and keep him away from bad influences.
{46113}{46213}But ultimately, he's his own person.|We can't control him forever.
{46219}{46263}And we shouldn't try.
{46281}{46347}Look, all you can do is try to be a good influence on him.
{46352}{46444}And then a demon comes in right under|our noses and changes him completely.
{46449}{46531}Okay, well, we knew something was wrong|with Wyatt earlier.
We sensed it.
{46533}{46624}We tried to do something about it.|That's the best you can hope for as a parent.
{46662}{46725}Or we can try another spell.
{46741}{46853}You know, maybe that's the problem.|We're just trying another spell.
{46856}{46876}So?
{46877}{46965}So why didn't the demon do that?|He didn't just appear today.
{46985}{47068}I mean, what kept him from taking the bear|and cursing it if it was that simple?
{47071}{47096}I don't know.
{47124}{47215}You know, maybe because he needed|something else from Wyatt...
{47228}{47307}and not just the bear.
But his trust.
{47345}{47385}Mom.
Dad.
{47407}{47435}How'd he get in here?
{47439}{47537}I'm still a Halliwell, aren't I?|I always hated this place.
{47541}{47567}What do you want?
{47570}{47604}What do you think I want?
{47608}{47682}Young me, to make sure you don't|screw me up again trying to turn me good.
{47692}{47752}Well, I hate to break it to you.|But you don't really have a choice in that matter.
{47755}{47828}What are you gonna do, mom,|kill me in order to protect me?
{47855}{47882}It's a thought.
{47882}{47948}You always said spanking was barbaric.
{48065}{48181}Ouch.
That hurt.
Seriously never had you pegged|as the type of parent who'd hit your kids.
{48390}{48419}You stay away from him.
{48422}{48470}Should I stay away from this, too?
{48493}{48519}You can't touch it.
{48523}{48589}Why not?
It's my magical inheritance, isn't it?
{48665}{48703}You're evil now.
{49003}{49035}Let go of him.
{49115}{49159}Don't wait up for me.
{49333}{49393}We were lucky to get out of there alive.
Ow!
{49399}{49429}Sorry.
{49447}{49589}We weren't lucky.
Wyatt wanted us|distracted for long enough to grab Wyatt.
{49597}{49654}So now that he has him, what is he gonna do with him?
{49659}{49733}He wants to take him back to the future|so we can't change them both back to good.
{49734}{49780}That's why he wanted the Book of Shadows.
{49781}{49862}He's gonna figure out a way to get that Book.|My nephew is very resourceful.
{49869}{49904}Found him.
Let's go.
{49907}{49966}Whoa.
You can't just go right to him.|He's gonna be expecting that.
{49969}{50060}So?
I can't just sit here and let my son corrupt himself.
{50062}{50117}Yeah, but that was way too easy.
It's gotta be a trap.
{50120}{50179}Well, whatever we do, we have to be smart about it.
{50181}{50281}'Cause Wyatt is very powerful,|and we're gonna get one shot at this.
{50283}{50334}Well, we know what his next move is gonna be.
{50337}{50430}He's gonna go after the Book.|So maybe we should set a trap for him.
{50435}{50482}Well, he's not gonna attack you guys here.
{50486}{50530}He doesn't want to have to fight you.
{50531}{50597}But you said if we go to him, he'll be expecting it.
{50599}{50678}He will, which is why I agree with Phoebe.|We should set a trap.
{50681}{50731}Only I'll be the one waiting for him, not you.
{50734}{50785}Leo, you don't have any powers to fight him with.
{50794}{50849}Which is why he won't sense me as a threat.
{50852}{50896}Any one of you guys are here, he's not gonna show up.
{50898}{50984}Fine.
So you get him here.|What exactly are you gonna do?
{50986}{51068}Well, the demon needed Wyatt to trust him,|right, to hand over the bear willingly?
{51090}{51126}I just need him to give it back.
{51128}{51142}Leo, I...
{51144}{51205}Look.
I may not have any powers, but I'm not powerless.
{51215}{51252}I'm his father.
He's not gonna hurt me.
{51256}{51302}No?
Ever read Hamlet?
{51303}{51341}Hamlet killed his stepfather.
{51344}{51398}Close enough.
Freud says that according...
{51401}{51433}Woman, can it!
{51438}{51515}Look, it's the only way it can happen, Piper.
You know it.
{51518}{51635}All right.
Well, any sign of trouble, you call, all right?
{51637}{51667}'Cause we're just an orb away.
{51775}{51800}Be careful.
{51845}{51882}I will be.
{52404}{52449}You see that book over there?
{52459}{52535}I want you to bring it to me.
Understand?
{52696}{52782}Come on, dad.
You don't even have any powers.
{52785}{52813}That's right.
I don't.
{52816}{52888}So what are you gonna do?
Take away my car keys?
{52893}{52982}I don't need to do anything.
You're gonna stop yourself.
{53004}{53095}That's what I always loved about you, dad.|Such a boundless optimist.
{53098}{53230}I know you.
I'm your father.|And I know you still have good in your heart.
{53233}{53286}Now your optimism just sounds pathetic.
{53299}{53421}You know how I know that?|Because this child right here still has good in his soul.
{53435}{53470}Isn't that right, Wyatt?
{53471}{53546}Get the book, Wyatt.
Now.
{53566}{53630}Okay, you don't have to Wyatt.|You can come over here to me if you want.
{53634}{53741}Dad, seriously, I don't want to have to hurt you,|but if you get in my way ...
{53745}{53873}I don't believe that.
You mind if I come|over there for a second, Wyatt?
{53874}{53894}Stay away from him.
{53917}{54002}Is this your Wuvey?
Could I see him, please?
{54005}{54043}Get away from him now, or I'll kill you.
{54055}{54116}I don't think you will.
{54160}{54194}I told you to stop.
{54200}{54314}Look, I was there when you were born, Wyatt.|I gave up my powers for you.
{54316}{54412}I tried to change the world for you...|and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
{54414}{54480}You know why?
Because I'm your father.
{54482}{54503}Stop it.
{54530}{54661}You want to kill me?
Go ahead.|I gave up my life for you before.
{54664}{54717}Dad, please?
{54722}{54824}Look, I love you.
Do you understand what that means?
{54930}{54989}Wyatt, can I see Wuvey just for one second?
{54990}{55094}I promise I'll give him back to you.
You can trust me.
{55205}{55239}Thank you.
{55270}{55295}Here you go.
{55536}{55683}Dad?
What did you ...
what happened?
{56320}{56350}Ms.
Halliwell.
{56355}{56374}Got a moment?
{56405}{56485}I had a chance to look over your paper|on childhood imaginary friends.
{56500}{56535}Yeah.
And let me guess.
{56538}{56620}You found it to be a shallow,|pop psych examination on the subject?
{56642}{56672}Hardly.
{56725}{56788}An a-minus?
Wow.
Really?
{56792}{56936}Well, your use of Kolberg's moral stages|was a bit of a stretch, but overall, quite insightful.
{56945}{56965}Thanks.
{56967}{57038}I especially liked your supposition that the impact {57040}{57124}of an imaginary friend can actually last well into adulthood.
{57126}{57171}I found that fascinating.
{57200}{57230}So do I.
{57270}{57360}Uh, I have to go.
I have to go home and see my nephew off.
{57361}{57412}Off?
I thought you said he was two.
{57430}{57486}No.
This is a different nephew.
{57488}{57564}Actually, he's older,|and he lives really far away.
But I'm late.
{57566}{57660}Um, before you go, I ...|I just wanted to apologize.
{57663}{57790}I prejudged you as a fraud,|and you are clearly anything but.
{57815}{57927}I look forward to reading your next paper.|And to your next column.
{57943}{57979}Thanks.
{57980}{58004}You're welcome.
{58175}{58243}Please tell me Paige is more punctual in the future.
{58260}{58305}I thought you didn't want any knowledge of the future.
{58308}{58344}Well, a little wouldn't hurt.
{58346}{58358}Piper.
{58361}{58474}What?
It's not gonna change anything,|aside from my being constantly irritated.
{58550}{58634}Aroha mai ...
that's, 'sorry' in maori.
{58649}{58692}Do I ever get the hang of this in the future?
{58725}{58756}What?
What's so funny?
{58757}{58845}Nothing.
It's just ...
who do you think|teaches me to be a whitelighter?
{58870}{58895}Me?
{58943}{58997}Well, I guess I better get going.
{59031}{59111}Not that it matters with time travel|and all, but...
just to be safe.
{59159}{59258}Aunt Paige?
Thanks for everything|you're about to do for me.
{59262}{59304}Oh, well, you're welcome, I think.
{59445}{59490}Thanks for not giving up on me.
{59491}{59526}You can count on it.
{59613}{59717}Aunt Phoebe ...
I think you should hold|onto that imaginary friend's paper of yours.
{59719}{59739}Why?
{59740}{59771}For my little cousin.
{59976}{60030}Don't worry about me so much, okay, mom?
{60045}{60130}Sorry.
That's the one thing that won't change.
{60297}{60323}I'll see you.
{60331}{60360}See you.
{60574}{60626}A son in the future, a son in the past, {60628}{60675}seeing anew what once has passed, {60678}{60721}return him now to whence he came, {60724}{60812}right when he left, all now the same.
{61018}{61044}Bye.
{61069}{61120}Wyatt.
Look.
{61175}{61220}Fire truck.
{191}{286}It's not gonna be easy to adjust|to life without powers overnight.
{288}{345}What am I supposed to do, huh?
I can't orb.
{346}{427}I can't go to the Elders for information.|I just want to fit in.
{428}{472}What, you want me to clean magic school?
{473}{528}No.
We want you to run it.
{529}{583}I have decided that I'm gonna go back to college.
{584}{603}College?
{604}{638}I want to get my graduate degree.
{640}{745}I can actually get my professional credentials|and maybe even be a better columnist.
{746}{798}- What's the matter?|- She has a ringing in her ears.
{799}{872}It could be, uh, your whitelighter powers,|hearing the call from the Elders.
{873}{907}You're a natural, Paige.
{908}{1000}Everything you've been and done in your life|has been preparing you to be a whitelighter.
{1001}{1110}Don't fight that.
Embrace it.|Not for the elders, but for yourself.
{1262}{1294}Ah, damn it!
{1301}{1366}Shh!
Keep it down.
I just got Chris to sleep.
{1378}{1442}Well, if you were here to help me,|you know, that would maybe help.
{1446}{1534}Yes, and I will do that, but first I need|to make sure Wyatt's okay at preschool.
{1535}{1563}Have you seen the phone?
{1564}{1621}Preschool?
Don't you mean magic school?
{1623}{1704}No, I mean preschool.
We enrolled him last week, remember?
{1709}{1756}You didn't tell me that.
Did you?
{1758}{1878}Yes, and you said you were worried|about him using magic in public.
{1882}{1928}Oh.
And what'd you say?
{1930}{2023}I said I was worried about him having a normal life.
{2045}{2093}All right.
Cool.
I'm all up to speed now.
{2094}{2198}It's just with these charges and these|demons attacking, eh, I'm a little scattered.
{2200}{2242}And that's different how exactly?
{2245}{2375}I just don't know why the Elders couldn't see fit to|give me a local witch instead of a New Zealand witch.
{2377}{2420}I don't know, but I need the phone.
{2427}{2454}No!
{2475}{2519}No.
No using the phone.
{2546}{2588}Why are all the handsets up here?
{2590}{2650}Because I am trying to prevent a demon attack.
{2651}{2671}What?
{2672}{2710}Look, all the attacks have been different, right?
{2713}{2779}And all the demons have had different powers.
{2781}{2882}The one thing I've noticed is that|every time a phone rings, a demon attacks.
{2891}{2971}No, they don't.|Phoebe called earlier and nothing happened.
{2980}{3010}Really?
{3021}{3145}Ugh!
Stop the jingling, already.|I'll be there as soon as I can.
{3155}{3185}Charges.
{3552}{3572}Piper!
{3689}{3748}You might be right about that phone thing.
{6520}{6598}That was Wyatt's preschool.|I wonder what they wanted.
{6601}{6727}Well, I am more interested in these demons and what|they wanted and try to figure out how to vanquish them.
{6731}{6813}It just doesn't sound right.|Why would demons attack when the phone rings?
{6816}{6858}And they're all different demons, remember?
{6880}{6926}The last one even looked kind of human.
{6928}{7008}Better add some mandrake root|in case they're shape shifters.
{7022}{7104}Wait, the last attack happened when|the preschool called, too, didn't it?
{7130}{7165}Yeah, I think you're right.
{7200}{7280}Do you think Wyatt is creating these demons?
{7281}{7321}That's ridiculous.
{7323}{7355}Well, he created the dragons.
{7357}{7460}One!
One lousy dragon.|You're gonna hold it against him for his entire life.
{7463}{7546}Oh, no.
Let me guess, another demon attack?
{7548}{7585}Or Wyatt's acting up again.
{7586}{7638}Or Paige is overreacting again.
{7641}{7746}Wyatt has been isolating himself|at preschool and only talking to himself.
{7751}{7815}Who said he's only talking to himself?
{7820}{7860}I heard the message.
{7870}{7892}That's odd.
{7895}{8006}No, it's not odd.
Just because he's talking|to himself does not mean he's creating demons.
{8011}{8078}Except he's kind of quiet around home.
{8079}{8098}So?
{8099}{8151}So Wyatt's in his second stage of development.
{8154}{8219}I mean, his sense of language should be maturing.
{8221}{8292}Which means he should be talking|to other people, not just himself.
{8296}{8354}I'm very sorry you went back to college.
{8355}{8406}I know, but it's really helping with my column.
{8408}{8493}And that has absolutely nothing|to do with why Wyatt is creating demons.
{8496}{8533}He's not creating demons!
{8536}{8604}Well, let's see.
Maybe it's a reaction to preschool.
{8608}{8688}Some kind of Freudian transference or something?
{8690}{8725}Mumbo-jumbo!
{8729}{8805}Look, all I'm saying is, if he's talking to himself, {8807}{8881}the problems may be normal, not magical.
{8885}{8927}Normal problems like what?
{8930}{9004}I have no idea.
It could be anything.
{9045}{9106}I could ask my professor.
She's the expert.
{9122}{9180}- But I...|- Be back soon!
{9222}{9278}Hey, what are you doing?
Put the phone down.
{9280}{9313}I have to call the preschool.
{9316}{9353}Well, then use your cell phone.
{9540}{9603}Ms.
Henderson, hey, I came as soon as I could.
{9606}{9655}Leo, what are you doing here?
{9658}{9716}Well, you called about Wyatt, right?
{9718}{9780}Yeah.
But I said it was nothing to worry about.
{9783}{9812}I thought I made that clear.
{9814}{9877}Well, I was in the area.
Is he all right?
{9880}{9921}He's just talking to himself.
{9930}{10002}I mean, I wouldn't have even bothered|calling if your wife hadn't asked me to.
{10004}{10078}She's very protective.
He's...
he's a special kid.
{10081}{10117}Oh, they're all special, Leo.
{10119}{10175}Right, but he has special needs.
{10177}{10282}Special needs?|You never said Wyatt was a special needs child.
{10285}{10360}Not like that.
He's, um, gifted.
{10379}{10411}First child?
{10418}{10455}Is it that obvious?
{10480}{10525}- Do you want to see him?|- Please.
{10669}{10705}Oh, there he is.
{10744}{10835}Oh, um, how long has he been doing that...|talking to himself?
{10849}{10933}Oh, I don't know.
On and off since|he first started coming here, I guess.
{10957}{11025}Oh, and, uh, is that normal?
{11030}{11130}Normal?
No.
But I don't think you should be alarmed.
{11132}{11209}He's just playing by himself.
Lots of kids do that.
{11262}{11323}I really like our conversations, Wyatt.
{11331}{11400}But you know I'm a secret, right?|Nobody else can see me.
{11402}{11458}You're just not used to letting him go during the day.
{11464}{11512}Happens to lots of first-time parents.
{11515}{11559}It's more complicated.
{11582}{11668}I see this every day.
Trust me, it's not.
{11691}{11750}You know, he wasn't feeling very well this morning.
{11752}{11806}Maybe I should just take him home, you know, just - {11810}{11848}...just to be safe.
{11851}{11931}Uh, well, okay, if you really think that's best.
{11933}{11970}Now we won't be able to talk much longer, {11971}{12048}but don't worry, I'll be back.
I promise.
{12050}{12141}Okay, buddy, come on.
Are you ready?|Let's go home, okay?
{12173}{12275}See you soon, Wyatt.|I want to hear more about that special teddy bear.
{12284}{12314}See you later.
{12500}{12525}Vicus.
{12580}{12610}I was getting worried.
{12611}{12644}You failed me.
{12645}{12685}We didn't fail.
{12690}{12765}We've been distracting the witches|for you, dying relentlessly.
{12766}{12816}But you haven't sustained the distractions.
{12838}{12933}The father took the boy from school,|just as I was starting to make some progress.
{12936}{12966}What?
{13012}{13072}Forget him.
We don't need his powers.
{13073}{13130}Dealing with The Charmed Ones is too dangerous anyway.
{13131}{13217}Do you think you know how to do this better than I do, Hugo?
{13220}{13361}That's not what I'm saying.|You've been working at this for, what, three weeks now?
{13368}{13420}We're risking everything here, and for what?
{13422}{13502}For us.
To add his power to yours, to the Collective.
{13530}{13662}Now, didn't I risk everything|nurturing the evil within you, {13664}{13737}Hugo, just as I did with all the others?
{13789}{13827}Yes, of course you did, but...
{13830}{13885}Then you must trust me.
{13886}{13980}See, this Wyatt will grow to become one of|the most powerful witches to ever walk the earth.
{13981}{14048}It's better he walk with us than against us.
{14065}{14106}I just worry.
{14109}{14210}Don't.
I realize that I only have a small window {14211}{14290}at this age in which to change him, but I am close.
{14330}{14365}Very close.
{14615}{14658}Um, Professor Slotkin?
{14680}{14752}Sorry, Ms.
Halliwell.
I don't have time|to discuss your paper topic right now.
{14754}{14824}No, no, it's not about the paper,|it's actually personal.
{14869}{14907}Yeah.
It's about my nephew.
{14910}{15008}He's two and a half,|and he's just going through some stuff, {15010}{15065}and I was kind of hoping|you could help me understand it.
{15078}{15109}Terrible twos?
{15110}{15211}Well, I think it started out as that,|and now it's just...
{15235}{15366}Well, at preschool he talks to himself,|and then at home he doesn't talk to anybody.
{15371}{15419}Well, perhaps he has an imaginary friend.
{15421}{15508}Although, he's a little early for that developmentally.
{15510}{15563}Well, he's very advanced for his age.
{15565}{15654}And if it was an imaginary friend,|is that necessarily a bad thing?
{15657}{15729}Freud used to think it was a sign of immature thinking.
{15732}{15839}Of course, nowadays we know that|kids create imaginary friends for lots of reasons {15842}{15965}Companionship, conflict resolution,|sometimes as a coping mechanism.
{15967}{16008}Let me write this down.
{16047}{16185}Oh, and that's Slotkin with an "S."|You were planning on giving me credit.
{16190}{16221}I'm sorry, what?
{16225}{16333}Well, last week we discussed|Lorenz's Theory of imprinting in class, {16334}{16392}and this week I read about him in your column.
{16395}{16469}I imagine we're discussing next week's content now.
{16470}{16534}No, no.
This is actually about my nephew.
{16537}{16616}Please, we both know why you're taking my class.
{16619}{16735}I'm taking your class to be a better columnist|and to understand human behavior.
{16736}{16800}I've spent years studying and teaching psychology, {16802}{16872}Ms.
Halliwell, dedicated my life to it.
{16878}{16939}But I'll be damned if I'm just|gonna let you poach my class {16940}{16992}to steal a sound bite or two for your column.
{16993}{17055}- No, but I...|- You want to learn about imaginary friends?
{17056}{17167}Do the research.|I look forward to reading your paper on it.
{17234}{17280}The truth is we don't know if it's a problem or not.
{17285}{17326}Well, that's what has me worried.
{17333}{17442}You know, maybe putting him|in a normal school wasn't such a good idea.
{17446}{17490}But we agreed it was a good idea.
{17493}{17584}And when we did that we knew there|was gonna be some road bumps like this.
{17586}{17722}Okay, well, the problem is we don't know if the road|bumps are magical or just a normal part of development.
{17738}{17789}I wish we could just ask him.
{17799}{17880}Okay, well, I think we're a few years|away from him giving you an answer.
{17883}{17960}Well, especially if he just keeps talking to himself.
{18075}{18152}Exactly.
Okay, I like the Maori people, {18154}{18227}but, uh, I'm pretty okay if I don't see them again.
{18260}{18336}I think I found out something about who's been attacking us.
{18338}{18452}Leo, would you take Wyatt upstairs|so he doesn't hear the demon talk?
{18533}{18595}Okay, buddy, let's go upstairs.|Take your Wuvey with you.
{18602}{18645}Anyway, as I was saying, ...
{18660}{18710}...
I've been searching through the library at magic school, {18712}{18770}and I think I found something out about these demons.
{18771}{18791}And?
{18792}{18913}And it seems as if their various offensive powers|are traditionally associated with good magic.
{18916}{18977}Good magic?|I thought these guys were supposed to be demons.
{18980}{19123}Yeah, thought so, too.
But it goes to kind|of support the theory that Wyatt's creating them.
{19125}{19168}Oh, for crying out loud!
{19172}{19212}I'm just saying.
{19326}{19412}Oh, this is ridiculous.|We can't live like this.
It's crazy.
{19425}{19460}Where you going?
{19475}{19568}I'm going to figure out if Wyatt|is behind this once and for all.
{19638}{19696}Ohh, big guy.
{19750}{19785}You okay, buddy?
{19940}{19970}Hey, Wyatt.
{19997}{20048}I promised I'd be back, didn't I?
{20055}{20083}Yeah.
{20126}{20151}Wyatt?
{20325}{20391}Shh!
Remember, ...
{20404}{20466}...
I'm a secret, right?
{20510}{20560}Hey, I really like your teddy bear.
{20616}{20673}Maybe you'll let me hold him some day, huh?
{20694}{20764}I've got a great surprise for both of you.
{20941}{21011}Shoot.
What rhymes with communicate?
{21045}{21082}Are you sure this is a good idea?
{21085}{21128}Of course I'm sure.
{21131}{21184}But what about the whole personal gain thing?
{21188}{21293}Wyatt created a demon who kidnapped him|and a dragon that nearly destroyed the city.
{21296}{21348}I'm not real worried about personal gain.
{21352}{21434}I know.
I guess just 'cause I'm whitelighter now,|have to think of these things, right?
{21442}{21578}Besides, we're casting it on ourselves so we can try|to understand what he's not telling us.
{21591}{21715}So if I switch this and I leave that ...
okay.
{21726}{21759}Help this mother understand {21761}{21796}the thoughts inside her little man.
{21798}{21836}Though his mouth be quiet, {21837}{21899}let us hear his inner Wyatt.
{22164}{22198}Mom?
{22239}{22296}It's me ...
Wyatt.
{22585}{22654}Mom, look at you!
You look great!
{22666}{22711}Right.
Okay.
{22720}{22794}Looks like you're as surprised|to see me as I am to be back.
{22800}{22827}Yeah.
{22830}{22857}Back from where?
{22860}{22882}The future.
{22885}{22970}Oh, no!
No, no, no!
We wanted to communicate with you...
{22973}{23047}I mean the younger you, the two and a half year-old you.
{23052}{23095}Well, if there's one thing you guys taught me, {23097}{23170}magic may work in mysterious ways, but it always works.
{23180}{23225}Where'd you hear that?
That's nice.
{23228}{23261}I'm surprised to hear you ask.
{23263}{23305}In the future you're always telling me that.
{23307}{23348}Oh!
Well, that's the future me.
{23351}{23440}I, me now, clearly doesn't have those kind|of brilliant thoughts.
Heh!
{23454}{23540}Right.
Look, all I'm saying is if your spell brought me here, {23542}{23586}there's gotta be a good reason.
{23588}{23691}Well, I don't know.
Do you remember anything about|what you were going through when you're were 2 1/2?
{23699}{23742}No, not really.
{23752}{23807}So then we're still looking for that reason.
{23810}{23894}But still this is a fantastic opportunity|that magic's brought us.
{23920}{24016}For me to see the past and|for you guys to learn about the future.
{24023}{24101}Oh, no, no.
No, no, no.
We don't want|to know anything about the future.
{24104}{24152}We don't want to risk changing it again.
{24154}{24170}Again?
{24173}{24207}Ugh!
Don't ask.
{24210}{24306}Okay.
But until we find out why magic brought me back, {24309}{24361}we could at least try and enjoy the moment, right?
{24383}{24434}How did you become such an optimist?
{24437}{24463}From you, mom.
{24505}{24564}You must've turned over a new leaf in the future.
{24567}{24672}Don't count on it.
So that doesn't help us with our Wyatt.
{24676}{24702}No.
{24711}{24751}Piper, you home?
{24776}{24893}Okay, the professor gave me some information|that I think will be useful...
who is he?
{24895}{24948}Aunt Phoebe, it's me!
Wyatt !
{24951}{24985}Wy...
what?
{24995}{25030}This is so amazing!
{25050}{25100}What, did a spell backfire?
{25101}{25127}How'd you guess?
{25138}{25193}Yeah, well, you know.|What did your professor say?
{25196}{25278}Well, she said that he probably|was talking to an imaginary friend.
{25281}{25406}I mean not...
not you.
You know,|the other you when you were...
{25409}{25442}this is gonna be so confusing.
{25445}{25474}You'll get used to it.
{25477}{25539}Okay, imaginary friends.
Ring any bells for you?
{25542}{25568}I'm afraid not.
{25571}{25664}She also said that he's a little young|for an imaginary friend.
{25667}{25697}Again, not you, just- {25698}{25747}- I got it.|- Right.
{25756}{25838}Ugh!
A te wa!
Sorry.
{25841}{25866}What language is that?
{25869}{25934}Maori.
Your New Zealand charge, right?|I remember hearing about him.
{25936}{26023}Yes, well, he can wait, because I think|this is a little bit more important.
{26025}{26086}I thought you said there was nothing|more important than your charges?
{26089}{26151}Look, mister, I'm pulling double duty here, okay?
{26152}{26186}So no guilt from the future for me.
{26189}{26248}Okay, you know what?|Can we focus on helping him, please?
{26250}{26302}Look, all I'm saying is that someone always told me {26305}{26367}that whitelighters are the glue|that keeps the magic world working.
{26370}{26410}Oh, Paige told you that?
{26419}{26523}Don't be so surprised.|Do I ever have a life in the future?
{26526}{26584}You should go, really.
We'll figure this out.
{26597}{26636}A te wa.
{26680}{26767}Okay.
So you guys cast a spell|to communicate with me, right?
{26782}{26829}So let's go talk to me.
{27014}{27043}Dad!
{27062}{27111}Hey, look at you!
You have haven't changed a bit!
{27114}{27161}Maybe a little less gray and few pounds lighter.
{27164}{27184}What?
{27185}{27215}Future son.
{27250}{27360}Hey, is this Chris?
Oh, my gosh!
He's so small.
{27365}{27433}Hey, little brother.|Is this before of after he swallowed the marble?
{27438}{27469}Marble?
What marble?
{27472}{27508}Easy on the future information.
{27510}{27534}Of course, you're right.
{27535}{27560}No, but really, what marble?
{27561}{27593}You want to explain what's going on?
{27594}{27694}Apparently they brought me here to figure out|what's wrong with me.
Is that still my room?
{27730}{27762}Explain.
{27777}{27854}If you let me see Mr.
Bear,|I will give him right back, I promise.
{27878}{27928}Hey, don't I know you?
{27956}{27991}You look familiar.
{27994}{28059}Wait.
You can see me?
{28062}{28100}What do you mean?
Of course I can.
{28101}{28125}Wyatt?
{28126}{28156}Who are you talking to?
{28183}{28235}- What's going on?|- That man, you didn't see him?
{28236}{28315}- See who?|- He was just there talking to ...
me.
{28316}{28368}"Me?"
What, do you mean you or him?
{28405}{28431}Both.
{28551}{28598}The boy was just starting to trust me.
{28600}{28687}He was about to give me the bear.|Where did this other witch come from?
{28689}{28711}What other witch?
{28712}{28829}The one who saw me.
Now how is that possible?
{28833}{28970}It doesn't matter.
They know you now.|I told you this was going to be too dangerous.
{28972}{29046}I made it so that only Wyatt could see me.
{29049}{29095}Well, then they must've found a way through your powers.
{29098}{29190}No.
No, this witch who saw me seemed surprised.
{29222}{29300}But still, he thought he knew me.
{29355}{29400}And his name was Wyatt, too.
{29451}{29499}We may have an opportunity here.
{29507}{29529}I don't follow.
{29532}{29630}Don't you see?|If I made it so that only Wyatt can see me, {29632}{29687}then that means this other witch must be Wyatt, too.
{29689}{29800}They conjured him from the future.|An older Wyatt, a good Wyatt.
{29807}{29854}But doesn't that make it worse?
{29855}{29972}If this future Wyatt is good,|then that means you never infect the boy.
{29996}{30064}Gather the collective.
We need to attack now.
{30067}{30122}Distract the sisters with everything you've got.
{30123}{30153}What do you plan to do?
{30218}{30274}I'm gonna get the boy to give me that bear.
{30277}{30415}With it, I'll finally turn him, and then I'll watch|the future change before my very eyes.
{30594}{30645}I know a demon when I see one, and that was a demon.
{30648}{30675}But you didn't actually see him.
{30678}{30774}Well, okay.
Some creepy, invisible guy|standing over my son, I'd say that's a demon.
{30777}{30814}I know how it sounds, mom.
But I'm telling you.
{30816}{30863}It just didn't seem like a demon.
It wasn't threatening at all.
{30864}{30911}Maybe it was an imaginary friend.
{30912}{30979}No.
Imaginary friends are imaginary, hence, the name.
{30982}{31069}Plus, you said he's too young to have|an imaginary friend, remember?
He's two.
{31071}{31143}Actually, I'm 25.
But I...
I know what you mean.
{31170}{31249}Look, you just ...
you don't have any idea|how much we've already been through {31251}{31299}just to make sure that you turn out okay.
{31300}{31366}Mom, I know exactly what you went through,|and it's all gonna work out.
{31368}{31450}The fact that I'm standing here in front of you|right now happy and healthy should tell you that.
{31456}{31590}Okay, fine.
Then you won't mind I.D.-ing the demon|so we can keep you happy and healthy.
{31615}{31656}Don't make me ground you.
{31660}{31687}All right.
{31697}{31857}So ...
just out of curiosity, uh,|do you have any cousins in the future?
{31860}{31939}No.
Don't answer that.
Nice try.
{31942}{32104}Wait a sec.
I think you're right.
He is a demon.
{32111}{32212}"Vicus is a demon who prays on children|turning them down the path of evil."
{32515}{32545}Okay.
{32574}{32657}Okay, buddy.
Daddy's gotta go check|on mommy, okay?
I'll be right back.
{32660}{32710}All right.
You stay here, okay?
{32890}{32941}I'll never leave you, Wyatt.
{32948}{33070}I'll always be here.
I promise.|Now show me that you believe me.
{33087}{33217}Let me see your teddy bear just for a second.|Then I'll give you both a big surprise.
{33906}{33931}Enough!
{33950}{34000}Leave my family alone.
{34197}{34232}Everything all right up there?
{34243}{34281}Oh, yeah.
We're fine.
{34520}{34560}Wyatt, what's going on?
{34606}{34631}Good.
{34770}{34805}Don't touch it.
{34820}{34849}thank you.
{34937}{34967}Dad, what happened?
{35112}{35162}Wyatt, what happened to you?
{35192}{35225}Who are you?
{35239}{35273}Who's who?
{35316}{35351}Who's he talking to?
{35365}{35392}The demon.
{35468}{35493}Follow me.
{35816}{35881}Ah.
I just feel so free.
{35890}{35960}I can't believe I spent a whole|other lifetime weighed down {35962}{36042}by the repressive morality by all that good.
{36045}{36144}Well, I'd like to give that feeling|to more good witches...
with your help.
{36148}{36256}One thing I don't understand though, is why do you hole|yourselves up in this dank lair?
It's so depressing.
{36273}{36405}Perhaps.
But it's safer.|Down here, good doesn't dare attack us.
{36407}{36473}Yeah, well, the future of evil is above ground, trust me.
{36478}{36553}We shouldn't be hiding when we have the power|to take their world if we wanted.
{36556}{36619}There'll be plenty of time for conquering later.
{36628}{36711}For now, there's still the matter of your family.
{36723}{36762}They'll want to change you back.
{36763}{36842}I know.
I also know that soon they'll|find a way to scry for our location.
{36845}{36897}Then we must attack them before they do.
{36900}{36988}No.
We want them to find us.
I know them all too well.
{36991}{37061}It's too risky to fight them at the manor.|But here, we'll have the advantage.
{37073}{37111}Because we'll be waiting for them.
{37113}{37160}You would kill your own family?
{37170}{37217}Watch me.
{37394}{37466}Are you telling me that our child is evil again?
{37470}{37571}Look, all I'm saying is that however he changed|future Wyatt, it started with the bear, okay?
{37574}{37626}He cursed it somehow.
He...he made it glow.
{37627}{37745}Okay, then we need to get that bear|away from him.
Can I have this?
{37746}{37793}Thank you.
Okay.
{37913}{37950}Phoebe, don't make him angry.
{37953}{37994}Look, we need to act fast, okay?
{37999}{38088}We need to find a way to reverse the curse|before future Wyatt does something evil.
{38091}{38196}I think we should take him to magic school.|I think he'd be safer there.
{38202}{38245}That's a good idea, and take the Book with you.
{38246}{38284}There may be something in there that can help.
{38285}{38312}What are you gonna do?
{38313}{38366}I'm gonna get Paige and see if we can find Vicus.
{38368}{38434}Maybe if we vanquish him, all of this will go away.
{38439}{38498}And if neither one of those works?
{38508}{38557}Then we're screwed.
{38581}{38614}Paige!
{38745}{38859}Luckily, we have enough demon ash that|we should be able to scry for Vicus' lair.
{38875}{38943}Yeah.
I wish I was a little bit|more confident in this potion.
{38947}{38974}What do you mean?
{38977}{39028}It's fine for the demon.
But what about Wyatt?
{39030}{39067}Well, we're not gonna fight Wyatt.
{39073}{39149}But we might not have a choice.|Because he's on the demon's side.
{39151}{39185}I don't think he'd try to kill us.
{39187}{39214}And how can you be so sure?
{39217}{39258}I can't.
But you know what?
{39260}{39328}If Piper can't change Wyatt back, then we're gonna have {39331}{39375}to vanquish the demon and hope that that does it.
{39378}{39475}And of course, we have the added problem|of not even being able to see the demon.
{39477}{39516}Only Wyatt can see Vicus.
{39518}{39565}We're just gonna have to bring a lot of vials.
{39585}{39640}And what, just throw them|everywhere and hope we hit something?
{39642}{39676}Yeah.
You have a better idea?
{39679}{39745}Normally, yes.
But sadly, this time, no.
{39765}{39867}Oh.
I got him.
Okay, better start filling those vials.
{40030}{40055}Oh, thank you.
{40072}{40117}Sweetie, why don't you let mommy see the bear?
{40131}{40218}Come on, why do you want that|silly bear anyway?
Look it.
Come on.
{40222}{40265}I don't think you're gonna convince him like that.
{40270}{40360}I just don't get it.
I mean ...
he seems as sweet as ever.
{40425}{40454}Of course, he does.
{40456}{40600}So can you tell me how this boy|turns into the future of all evil?
{40607}{40653}It's not us as parents.
{40656}{40729}Yeah, you can say that as much as you want.|But it's gotta be.
{40731}{40854}No, I...I found a reference on cursed objects changing children {40856}{40893}in incremental degrees over time.
{40896}{40961}He's two.
How much could he really have changed?
{40965}{41022}Not much.
But if he keeps in this direction, {41023}{41080}the next 25 years, he can be pretty far off path.
{41105}{41155}He will become the young man we saw.
{41155}{41208}This is ridiculous.
{41208}{41379}I mean, if it's all use of that stupid bear,|then there's gotta be a magical way around it.
{41382}{41428}A way to change it.
A way to change him.
{41470}{41512}Right.
Of course.
{41519}{41597}Right.
Of course.
But what?
{41618}{41705}It's ...
just that curses are difficult.
{41720}{41825}Often times, it's how it came about|that's more important than the magic itself.
{41840}{41943}Ok, well, we'll figure out the why later.|But right now, we need to fix this.
{42105}{42158}How much longer are we going to wait?
{42160}{42230}Patience.
Scrying takes time.
{42234}{42307}And there's the vanquishing potion|that'll keep my aunts busy for at least an hour.
{42309}{42366}Vanquishing potion?
You never said anything about that.
{42368}{42415}What?
Do you expect they're just|gonna show up empty handed?
{42419}{42466}Come on.
It's not gonna be that easy.
{42473}{42514}I don't like this.
{42517}{42545}Stop worrying.
{42546}{42599}The rest of the collective is just a shimmer away.
{42613}{42699}And besides, my aunts won't be able|to see you when you're cloaked.
{42795}{42884}Wait.
They're coming.
{42963}{43008}Have any trouble finding the place?
{43012}{43031}Where's Vicus?
{43035}{43093}Around.
But you should be worried about me.
{43095}{43126}Look.
We just wanna help you.
{43129}{43171}What makes you think I want your help?
{43175}{43234}Because we know you, and we know you're good.
{43239}{43280}That's a lot of potions you got there.
{43281}{43320}I thought you thought I was good.
{43322}{43403}These are for Vicus.
As soon as we get rid of him,|all of this will be over.
{43409}{43441}Good luck finding him.
{43715}{43755}Man, you girls are way off.
{43756}{43789}We have lots more potions.
{43790}{43825}Maybe I can help you out.
{43960}{43985}What are you doing?
{43986}{44080}Making a point.
Go ahead, vanquish him.
{44081}{44106}What?
{44209}{44269}So you thought you'd change me back, did you?
{44272}{44290}Why didn't that work?
{44293}{44336}Because I'm not under any spell.
{44341}{44412}And you can't just change me back|by simply vanquishing Vicus.
{44415}{44507}He still got to me.|And this is how evil grows over the years.
{44529}{44585}I don't plan on giving you a chance to change me back.
{44586}{44635}In fact, I'm gonna make sure you don't.
{44640}{44710}But first, this should keep you busy for a while.
{44845}{44887}These are the ones that killed Vicus.
{44919}{44958}Have fun.
{44976}{44999}Oh, and ...
{45010}{45055}No orbing, Aunt Paige.
{45417}{45454}Try it.
{45462}{45519}Evil taints what was once held dear, {45523}{45585}remove this curse away from here.
{45627}{45675}Well, I guess we'll just try another one.
{45680}{45760}It's not gonna work...|just like the last fifteen spells didn't work.
{45762}{45805}Nothing's gonna change that damn bear.
{45806}{45837}Well, we can't just give up.
{45840}{45920}What if it's not just the bear?|What if the problem is Wyatt?
{45941}{45979}You can't think like that, Piper.
{45981}{46060}Why not?
I mean, we try|and make the right decisions, {46061}{46110}and we try and keep him away from bad influences.
{46113}{46213}But ultimately, he's his own person.|We can't control him forever.
{46219}{46263}And we shouldn't try.
{46281}{46347}Look, all you can do is try to be a good influence on him.
{46352}{46444}And then a demon comes in right under|our noses and changes him completely.
{46449}{46531}Okay, well, we knew something was wrong|with Wyatt earlier.
We sensed it.
{46533}{46624}We tried to do something about it.|That's the best you can hope for as a parent.
{46662}{46725}Or we can try another spell.
{46741}{46853}You know, maybe that's the problem.|We're just trying another spell.
{46856}{46876}So?
{46877}{46965}So why didn't the demon do that?|He didn't just appear today.
{46985}{47068}I mean, what kept him from taking the bear|and cursing it if it was that simple?
{47071}{47096}I don't know.
{47124}{47215}You know, maybe because he needed|something else from Wyatt...
{47228}{47307}and not just the bear.
But his trust.
{47345}{47385}Mom.
Dad.
{47407}{47435}How'd he get in here?
{47439}{47537}I'm still a Halliwell, aren't I?|I always hated this place.
{47541}{47567}What do you want?
{47570}{47604}What do you think I want?
{47608}{47682}Young me, to make sure you don't|screw me up again trying to turn me good.
{47692}{47752}Well, I hate to break it to you.|But you don't really have a choice in that matter.
{47755}{47828}What are you gonna do, mom,|kill me in order to protect me?
{47855}{47882}It's a thought.
{47882}{47948}You always said spanking was barbaric.
{48065}{48181}Ouch.
That hurt.
Seriously never had you pegged|as the type of parent who'd hit your kids.
{48390}{48419}You stay away from him.
{48422}{48470}Should I stay away from this, too?
{48493}{48519}You can't touch it.
{48523}{48589}Why not?
It's my magical inheritance, isn't it?
{48665}{48703}You're evil now.
{49003}{49035}Let go of him.
{49115}{49159}Don't wait up for me.
{49333}{49393}We were lucky to get out of there alive.
Ow!
{49399}{49429}Sorry.
{49447}{49589}We weren't lucky.
Wyatt wanted us|distracted for long enough to grab Wyatt.
{49597}{49654}So now that he has him, what is he gonna do with him?
{49659}{49733}He wants to take him back to the future|so we can't change them both back to good.
{49734}{49780}That's why he wanted the Book of Shadows.
{49781}{49862}He's gonna figure out a way to get that Book.|My nephew is very resourceful.
{49869}{49904}Found him.
Let's go.
{49907}{49966}Whoa.
You can't just go right to him.|He's gonna be expecting that.
{49969}{50060}So?
I can't just sit here and let my son corrupt himself.
{50062}{50117}Yeah, but that was way too easy.
It's gotta be a trap.
{50120}{50179}Well, whatever we do, we have to be smart about it.
{50181}{50281}'Cause Wyatt is very powerful,|and we're gonna get one shot at this.
{50283}{50334}Well, we know what his next move is gonna be.
{50337}{50430}He's gonna go after the Book.|So maybe we should set a trap for him.
{50435}{50482}Well, he's not gonna attack you guys here.
{50486}{50530}He doesn't want to have to fight you.
{50531}{50597}But you said if we go to him, he'll be expecting it.
{50599}{50678}He will, which is why I agree with Phoebe.|We should set a trap.
{50681}{50731}Only I'll be the one waiting for him, not you.
{50734}{50785}Leo, you don't have any powers to fight him with.
{50794}{50849}Which is why he won't sense me as a threat.
{50852}{50896}Any one of you guys are here, he's not gonna show up.
{50898}{50984}Fine.
So you get him here.|What exactly are you gonna do?
{50986}{51068}Well, the demon needed Wyatt to trust him,|right, to hand over the bear willingly?
{51090}{51126}I just need him to give it back.
{51128}{51142}Leo, I...
{51144}{51205}Look.
I may not have any powers, but I'm not powerless.
{51215}{51252}I'm his father.
He's not gonna hurt me.
{51256}{51302}No?
Ever read Hamlet?
{51303}{51341}Hamlet killed his stepfather.
{51344}{51398}Close enough.
Freud says that according...
{51401}{51433}Woman, can it!
{51438}{51515}Look, it's the only way it can happen, Piper.
You know it.
{51518}{51635}All right.
Well, any sign of trouble, you call, all right?
{51637}{51667}'Cause we're just an orb away.
{51775}{51800}Be careful.
{51845}{51882}I will be.
{52404}{52449}You see that book over there?
{52459}{52535}I want you to bring it to me.
Understand?
{52696}{52782}Come on, dad.
You don't even have any powers.
{52785}{52813}That's right.
I don't.
{52816}{52888}So what are you gonna do?
Take away my car keys?
{52893}{52982}I don't need to do anything.
You're gonna stop yourself.
{53004}{53095}That's what I always loved about you, dad.|Such a boundless optimist.
{53098}{53230}I know you.
I'm your father.|And I know you still have good in your heart.
{53233}{53286}Now your optimism just sounds pathetic.
{53299}{53421}You know how I know that?|Because this child right here still has good in his soul.
{53435}{53470}Isn't that right, Wyatt?
{53471}{53546}Get the book, Wyatt.
Now.
{53566}{53630}Okay, you don't have to Wyatt.|You can come over here to me if you want.
{53634}{53741}Dad, seriously, I don't want to have to hurt you,|but if you get in my way ...
{53745}{53873}I don't believe that.
You mind if I come|over there for a second, Wyatt?
{53874}{53894}Stay away from him.
{53917}{54002}Is this your Wuvey?
Could I see him, please?
{54005}{54043}Get away from him now, or I'll kill you.
{54055}{54116}I don't think you will.
{54160}{54194}I told you to stop.
{54200}{54314}Look, I was there when you were born, Wyatt.|I gave up my powers for you.
{54316}{54412}I tried to change the world for you...|and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
{54414}{54480}You know why?
Because I'm your father.
{54482}{54503}Stop it.
{54530}{54661}You want to kill me?
Go ahead.|I gave up my life for you before.
{54664}{54717}Dad, please?
{54722}{54824}Look, I love you.
Do you understand what that means?
{54930}{54989}Wyatt, can I see Wuvey just for one second?
{54990}{55094}I promise I'll give him back to you.
You can trust me.
{55205}{55239}Thank you.
{55270}{55295}Here you go.
{55536}{55683}Dad?
What did you ...
what happened?
{56320}{56350}Ms.
Halliwell.
{56355}{56374}Got a moment?
{56405}{56485}I had a chance to look over your paper|on childhood imaginary friends.
{56500}{56535}Yeah.
And let me guess.
{56538}{56620}You found it to be a shallow,|pop psych examination on the subject?
{56642}{56672}Hardly.
{56725}{56788}An a-minus?
Wow.
Really?
{56792}{56936}Well, your use of Kolberg's moral stages|was a bit of a stretch, but overall, quite insightful.
{56945}{56965}Thanks.
{56967}{57038}I especially liked your supposition that the impact {57040}{57124}of an imaginary friend can actually last well into adulthood.
{57126}{57171}I found that fascinating.
{57200}{57230}So do I.
{57270}{57360}Uh, I have to go.
I have to go home and see my nephew off.
{57361}{57412}Off?
I thought you said he was two.
{57430}{57486}No.
This is a different nephew.
{57488}{57564}Actually, he's older,|and he lives really far away.
But I'm late.
{57566}{57660}Um, before you go, I ...|I just wanted to apologize.
{57663}{57790}I prejudged you as a fraud,|and you are clearly anything but.
{57815}{57927}I look forward to reading your next paper.|And to your next column.
{57943}{57979}Thanks.
{57980}{58004}You're welcome.
{58175}{58243}Please tell me Paige is more punctual in the future.
{58260}{58305}I thought you didn't want any knowledge of the future.
{58308}{58344}Well, a little wouldn't hurt.
{58346}{58358}Piper.
{58361}{58474}What?
It's not gonna change anything,|aside from my being constantly irritated.
{58550}{58634}Aroha mai ...
that's, 'sorry' in maori.
{58649}{58692}Do I ever get the hang of this in the future?
{58725}{58756}What?
What's so funny?
{58757}{58845}Nothing.
It's just ...
who do you think|teaches me to be a whitelighter?
{58870}{58895}Me?
{58943}{58997}Well, I guess I better get going.
{59031}{59111}Not that it matters with time travel|and all, but...
just to be safe.
{59159}{59258}Aunt Paige?
Thanks for everything|you're about to do for me.
{59262}{59304}Oh, well, you're welcome, I think.
{59445}{59490}Thanks for not giving up on me.
{59491}{59526}You can count on it.
{59613}{59717}Aunt Phoebe ...
I think you should hold|onto that imaginary friend's paper of yours.
{59719}{59739}Why?
{59740}{59771}For my little cousin.
{59976}{60030}Don't worry about me so much, okay, mom?
{60045}{60130}Sorry.
That's the one thing that won't change.
{60297}{60323}I'll see you.
{60331}{60360}See you.
{60574}{60626}A son in the future, a son in the past, {60628}{60675}seeing anew what once has passed, {60678}{60721}return him now to whence he came, {60724}{60812}right when he left, all now the same.
{61018}{61044}Bye.
{61069}{61120}Wyatt.
Look.
{61175}{61220}Fire truck.
