FADE IN:

EXT. STREET NEXT TO AN ALLEY – NIGHT

Prue’s car is parked there. Lights off.

CUT TO:

INT. CAR – NIGHT

ON JO. She is sitting in the co-pilot’s seat. She looks at someone in the driver’s seat. BEAT. That someone is Prue. Prue is eating peanuts.

JO

How can you eat that?

Prue shoots her a look.

PRUE

What? I love peanuts.

JO

I hate peanuts. And that baby is going to hate them if you keep eating them.

PRUE

Well, it’s because of the baby that I’m eating peanuts. Food craving.

Jo stares at Prue while Prue keeps eating peanuts.

JO

How did it ---

(pauses)

--- you know? Happened?

Prue glances at Jo.

PRUE

Do you want me to give you a drawing?

JO

I don’t mean that. I mean, you know when it happened?

Prue rolls her eyes.

PRUE

I do. It was two months ago. We were in New Orleans for Uncle Henry birthday’s celebration. I drunk a little and well, Mel and Damon where there and when those two are in the same room, I can feel their desire for each other. So, I dragged Wyatt to Aunt Piper’s office and ---

JO

(disgusted)

Oh, my God! You made sex with Wyatt just because you felt desire from Damon and Mel?

PRUE

What I felt from Damon and Mel was just the light of the candle. The burning part was me.

Prue smiles and touches her still small stomach.

PRUE (CONT'D)

It was just me and Wyatt there.

(smiles)

She’s the product of true love.

JO

And an accident.

Prue looks at Jo.

PRUE

I wasn’t expecting to be pregnant now, but my daughter is not an accident.

JO

How do you even know that she’s a girl?

Prue smiles.

PRUE

Because I’ve met her. Right before I knew she existed. I met her in a dream.

Prue looks away.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I don’t remember how she looked like, but I do remember her look on me.

Jo lowers her gaze.

PRUE (CONT'D)

You know? Like a mother-daughter look.

(looks at Jo)

You know how that feels?

Jo looks at Prue. She seems down.

JO

No. I never had that.

Jo deviates her gaze from Prue.

PRUE

What happened?

JO

She died.

PRUE

I’m so sorry. I didn’t know.

JO

(looks at Prue)

It’s OK. My Aunts took care of me. And my Uncle.

Prue and Jo stare at nothing.

PRUE

I don’t like you.

JO

I don’t like you either. But I think we can keep it cool. Although, I know you came because you wanted to keep an eye on me.

PRUE

You can’t blame a Destined One for trying.

Both Jo and Prue smile. Then, something calls for their attention.

PRUE AND JO’S POV: A MAN WALKS IN THE ALLEY.

JO

It must be the demon.

PRUE

He’s heading to the back of the nightclub. Let’s go.

JO

You stay here, Prue.

PRUE

Excuse me?

JO

I promised Wyatt I would take care of you. You’re pregnant.

PRUE

Yes, I’m pregnant, not sick.

JO

Still, I was the one who found out about this demon so, I’ll go in. you wait here.

Both Prue and Jo stare at one another for seconds, then ---

PRUE

Fine.

Jo nods and gets out the car. Prue watches her as she enters the alley.

PRUE (CONT'D)

But not fine!

Prue gets out of the car.

CUT TO:

EXT. ALLEY – NIGHT

Prue comes into the alley that leads to the back entrance of a club. No one is in there, but loud music can be heard from the inside.

As Prue heads the entrance, someone approaches her and ---

DEMON

Stop, Witch!

A demon grabs Prue and pulls a dagger against Prue’s neck. The girl stops.

DEMON (CONT'D)

Did you really think I wouldn’t notice witches hunting me?

PRUE

I was counting on that actually!

At that moment, Jo comes out from the club.

JO

Let her go.

The demon looks at Jo and smiles.

DEMON

(to Jo)

First, I end this one, then I’ll end you.

PRUE

I don’t think so!

Prue, quickly, pokes the demon’s stomach with strength. He grabs his stomach in pain.

ON LOOSE WIRES.

Jo sees some loose wires. She MOVES them TELEKINETICALLY. The wires hit the demon who is electrocuted. He screams in pain. Soon, the demon blows up.

JO

I told you to stay in the car.

PRUE

You know so little about me, Jo Wright. I am Prue Halliwell. I don’t stay in the car.

Prue shoots her a look and then heads out the alley. Jo rolls her eyes.

JO

Believe me, I know more about you than I wish I knew.

Jo heads out the alley as well.

CUT TO:

INT. UNKNOWN PLACE – TRUDEAU’S HOME - ALEX'S BEDROOM

The camera slowly pans ALEX'S room. ALEX has photographs of himself with his family decked out on his desk and posters of his favorite movies and people on the walls. It is what you would think of a normal TEENAGE BOY. Clothes are strewn about, the closet filled with extra clothes and a textbook of ALGEBRA is on the desk turned over. He had just finished studying.

OFF CAMERA - ALEX GROANING.

The camera now slowly zooms in on a sleeping Alex, tossing and turning.

FLASHES TO:

INT. ALEXANDER THE GREAT'S TENT – MACEDONIAN WAR CAMP - NIGHT (C. 338BC)

We see YOUNG ALEXANDER on his bed, coughing.

FLASHES BACK TO:

INT. UNKNOWN PLACE – TRUDEAU’S HOME - ALEX'S BEDROOM (PRESENT DAY)

Alex opens his eyes quickly. The coughing continues.

ALEX

What the hell...?

He pulls back the covers. The camera quickly follows him as he ORBS out in PJs.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – WYATT & PRUE’S BEDROOM – NIGHT

Alex ORBS in. Wyatt is lying in his bed sleeping, with Prue beside him, his arm wrapped around her shoulders.

ALEX

(to Wyatt, quietly)

Wy. 

Alex walks over to him and shakes his shoulder.

ALEX (CONT'D)

Wy. Wake up.

Wyatt opens his eyes and looks over at his cousin who still is coughing. He doesn't look so good.

WYATT

What's going on? Alex, are you okay?

ALEX

That's why I orbed in. I think I'm dying. I had this vivid dream of someone on his bed coughing and then immediately I started to cough.

WYATT

Wait, what are you trying to say? Were you this person?

ALEX

Probably. Can we check the Book now? 

(coughs again) 

Please?

Wyatt nods. He unwraps his arm around PRUE and gently kisses her cheek and then gets out of bed. He puts on his pajamas bottom (he was naked) quickly and then walks out of the room with ALEX trailing behind. ALEX closes the door quietly.

CUT TO BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – ATTIC – NIGHT

Wyatt and Alex walk in.

ALEX

Uh cousin, were you actually naked?

WYATT

Yeah but now isn't the time to ask questions about what I was doing. Whatever I was doing with my wife doesn't matter right now. What matters is to see why you were immediately coughing when yesterday you were perfectly fine. 

(starts to flip through the pages) 

Okay. Was this the only dream you had?

Alex shakes his head.

WYATT (CONT'D)

(surprised)

You had more? 

Wyatt stops flipping through pages. Alex nods. Now Wyatt is curious.

WYATT (CONT'D)

What happened?

ALEX

Battles, lovers-both male and female, a woman telling me I was descendant of Achilles, etc.

Wyatt realizes what he was talking about.

WYATT

Alex, do you realize who you were talking about?

ALEX

No, not really. Who?

WYATT

Alexander the Great. You're having dreams of him?

ALEX

Supposedly. And then when I wake up its like I'm reliving them again. Everything.

WYATT

Okay, this is weird.

ALEX

What do you think though? Is it a demon doing this?

WYATT

No. In fact, I believe it's your past life. And I know just how you can figure it all out. 

Wyatt flips to the page where a page in the book.

WYATT (CONT'D)

This.

CAMERA ZOOMS INTO THE SPELL PAGE.

Alex walks over Wyatt and the Book of Shadows. Alex has a look at it and then looks at Wyatt.

ALEX

Wait. Do you want me to go back in time?

Both Wyatt and Alex stare at one another.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – ATTIC – NIGHT (TIMELAPSE)

Both Wyatt and Alex stare at one another.

ALEX

Are you kidding me, right? I’m not even a witch.

WYATT

I know, but we can make it work. We have to find out what’s going on with you.

At that moment, Prue comes in wearing her PJs.

PRUE

I thought I heard voices up here.

WYATT

Honey, you should be in bed.

PRUE

Well, I felt you sneaking out of bed and then heard the voices. I wanted to know what’s going on.

WYATT

You need to blame Alex’s past life for it.

PRUE

Who’s his past life?

ALEX

You don’t want to know. BTW, I’m curious. Do you guys have sex while you’re pregnant?

PRUE

Alex!

Prue is astonished.

PRUE (CONT'D)

What kind of question is that?

WYATT

Teenagers.

ALEX

Well, you see, you’re pregnant.

PRUE

Again. I’m pregnant, not sick.

ALEX

Still, it’s disgusting.

PRUE

Disg ---

Prue cuts herself up.

PRUE (CONT'D)

You know what? I don’t care. I’m going back to bed. Whatever it is that’s going on, I’ll pass.

(to Wyatt)

Solve whatever it is and send that kiddo back home.

Prue turns around and leaves the attic. Alex looks at Prue.

WYATT

Really, Alex?

ALEX

What? I really think that’s disgusting.

WYATT

What do you know about the matter, man?

ALEX

I know a lot about it.

WYATT

Oh, really?

Both Wyatt and Alex stare at one another.

ALEX

(reddish)

I know a few things about it.

WYATT

I see. Let’s get back to what really matters.

Wyatt focuses on the Book of Shadows.

Chris is by the bathroom door. He is wearing his PJs.

CHRIS

Babe, are you OK?

The bathroom door opens and Bianca comes out of it. She seems sick.

BIANCA

Is the first trimester over yet?

Chris helps her get into the bed.

CHRIS

It’s almost, babe.

BIANCA

I can’t handle any longer, Chris. Everything I ate, I throw it out.

CHRIS

You’re pregnant, honey. That’s normal.

BIANCA

It doesn’t happen to Prue.

CHRIS

I’m sure it does.

Chris covers Bianca with the sheets.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

Do you want me to stay with you all day?

BIANCA

No. You need to work. I’ll sleep a little bit more and then I’ll go to P3.

CHRIS

Are you sure you’re feeling OK to go to work?

BIANCA

I’m not sick, Chris. I’m pregnant.

Chris kisses her forehead.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

With your baby so, this is all your fault.

CHRIS
 

I’m sure you didn’t mean that.

BIANCA

Oh, I did. So, you better treat me like a pregnant woman and not like a sick one.

Bianca sounds a little rude. Chris is surprised. Then, out of a sudden, Bianca starts crying.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

Oh, babe, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean that.

CHRIS

Honey, it’s Okay.

BIANCA

No, it’s not Okay.

Bianca cries. Tears really come out her eyes.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

I’m a mess. My hormones are killing me.

CHRIS

Babe, that’s normal.

BIANCA

(rude)

Don’t say that’s normal.

(keeps crying)

I’m sorry, babe.

Chris takes a deep breath.

CHRIS

Okay. What do you want me to do?

Bianca wipes her tears with the back of her hand.

BIANCA

Just go to work. I’ll stay here a little bit longer, Okay?

CHRIS

You sure?

BIANCA

(rude)

Don’t push it, Chris.

Chris stands quickly.

CHRIS

Okay, okay. I’ll go.

Chris takes out his shirt and enters the bathroom. Bianca covers her face with a pillow.

Alex is sitting on the couch. Wyatt approaches him.

WYATT

Are you ready to do this?

ALEX

Can I get hurt?

WYATT

No, you will only see.

ALEX

How do I do to come back?

WYATT

I guess you can come back whenever you want.

ALEX

You guess?

WYATT

Alex, c’mon. do you want to find out why are you having those dreams or not?

ALEX

Fine, dude. But I’m not a witch. I don’t know how to cast spells.

WYATT

Lucky, that you have a Twice Blessed cousin. I’ll cast the spell for you. Now sit back and relax.

Wyatt goes for the Book of Shadows as Alex sits back on the couch. Wyatt takes the book and walks over Alex. Wyatt sits beside him and holds his hand. Alex takes a deep breath. Wyatt begins to chant.

WYATT (CONT'D)

(chanting)

‘Remove the chains of time and space

And make his spirit soar.

Let his mortal arms embrace

The life that hunted him before.’

Ales falls asleep. Wyatt looks at him.

WYATT (CONT'D)

Good luck, cous.

ON ALEX’S FACE.

FLASHES TO:

EXT. ALEXANDER THE GREAT’S TENT – MACEDONIAN WAR CAMP - DAY (C. 338BC)

A battle camp is settled here. Every man in the field wears ancient warriors’ armors.
Young Alexander comes out his tent. He looks exactly as Alex Trudeau. A young boy comes close.

HEPHAISTION

Alexander.

Alexander looks at him.

HEPHAISTION (CONT'D)

Your father, the King, wishes to see you.

Alexander nods.

CUT TO:

INT. KING PHILIP II’S TENT – MACEDONIAN WAR CAMP – DAY (C. 338BC)

The king and his commanders are there. They seem to be planning the war.

PHILIP III

If we do this, we’ll win.

The men cry out loud. At that moment, Alexander comes in followed by Hephaistion.

ALEXANDER

Father?

Philip III looks at his son.

ALEXANDER (CONT'D)

Did you wish to see me?

PHILIP III

My son ---

The King walks over his son.

PHILIP III (CONT'D)

The conquer to get the lands we desire, must continue. Tomorrow Elatea will be ours.

The King and Alexander stare at one another.

PHILIP III (CONT'D)

We must go to battle now.

ALEXANDER

I’m ready to join you in this battle, father.

PHILIP III

You may not seek for glory only, my son. A king is not made of glory only.

ALEXANDER

But the myths of the past ---

PHILIP III

Myths are just myths, Alexander. A king isn’t also made of myths.

The King puts an arm over Alexander’s shoulders and drags him out of the tent.

CUT TO:

EXT. KING PHILIP II’S TENT – MACEDONIAN WAR CAMP – DAY (C. 338BC)

Macedonian soldiers walk back and forwards. King Philip III and Alexander come out the tent. The King still has his arm over Alexander’s shoulders.

PHILIP III

Do you remember what I once told you?

Alexander lowers his gaze.

ALEXANDER

A king isn’t born, it is made.

PHILIP III

That’s correct.

Alexander looks at his father.

PHILIP III (CONT'D)

I know that sometimes, it may look that I have no faith in you becoming my successor, but you are my son.

The King holds Alexander’s shoulders.

PHILIP III (CONT'D)

Don’t ever forget that a King is not made of glory only.

Alexander nods yes.

PHILIP III (CONT'D)

Now, let’s make Mesopotamia great!

The King heads inside the tent. Alexander remains there thoughtful.

FLASHES BACK TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – ATTIC – MORNING

ON ALEX’S FACE. His eyes pop open. He sits straight.

Wyatt, who’s next to the Book of Shadows, approaches him.

WYATT

Hey! Are you Okay?

Alex looks at Wyatt.

ALEX

You were right. I’m dreaming with Alexander the Great.

WYATT

Were you him?

Alex nods.

ALEX

I saw it all through his eyes.

WYATT

What did you see?

ALEX

Just talking about battles and a small talk with the King.

WYATT

So, Alexander’s father is still alive.

ALEX

Yeah, but it’s that important?

WYATT

It is. But we need to find out why are you having dreams of your past life.

ALEX

I can believe that from all people, my past life had to be Alexander the Great.

Alex looks at Wyatt. He seems desperate.

WYATT

First, we need to know more about this Alexander. I happen to know someone who really loves history.

Both Wyatt and Alex stare at one another.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – KITCHEN – DAY

Prue, Melinda, and Cassandra are in the kitchen having breakfast. The TV is ON.

CASSANDRA

Thank you, guys, for inviting me for breakfast.

PRUE

You can stop by whenever you want, Cass.

CASSANDRA

Oh, yeah, but you want some information about our guest from the future.

PRUE

No.

Prue has a sip of whatever is in her cup.

MELINDA

(to Prue)

Is that coffee that you’re drinking?

Prue gives Melinda a look.

PRUE

It’s tea. I’m behaving, okay?

Melinda and Cassandra exchange glances.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(to Cassandra)

Anyway, Cass, I invited you in because I want to know how is your work doing?

Cassandra seems surprised.

CASSANDRA

Really?

Prue nods yes.

CASSANDRA (CONT'D)

Oh, well ---

(stutters)

--- It’s going well. I guess.

MELINDA

Speaking of it.

Melinda points at the TV where a journalist is giving the news. Melinda takes the remote control and increases the TV’s sound.

JOURNALIST

‘Prescott Group has just acquired Green Laboratories’.

Some images can be seen on the TV. It shows Julian Prescott, a man and a mysterious woman, Ruby, coming out of a building.

JOURNALIST (CONT'D)

‘Earlier today, the CEO of Prescott Group left Green Laboratories where he signed the papers. His loyal advisor and an unknown female were there with him’.

The image cuts to the Journalist.

JOURNALIST (CONT'D)

‘It is also the million-dollar question. Who’s that woman? She has been seeing for the past couple of weeks with Julian Prescott’.

(pauses)

‘Now, let’s see the weather’.

Melinda shuts down the TV.

PRUE

(to Cassandra)

Have you seen that mysterious woman they were talking about?

CASSANDRA

I just saw her once. She is like very mysterious. Some say she is his love affair.

MELINDA

The important thing is that you’re doing well there, Cass.

Cassandra smiles.

PRUE

Now, about our mysterious guest ---

MELINDA

(cuts her off)

No, Prue enough. You told me before that the hunt last night went well.

PRUE

It did.

MELINDA

Then?

Prue looks at Cassandra and then looks to Melinda.

PRUE

I can’t sense anything from her, you know? That’s why I took the hunt last night with her.

MELINDA

Maybe you don’t sense anything because there’s nothing to sense.

Prue has a sip of her tea. At that moment, Wyatt comes in.

WYATT

Love?

Prue, Melinda, and Cassandra look at him.

WYATT (CONT'D)

We need your brain.

Wyatt and Prue stare at one another.

INT. BAY MIRROR – MIRROR’S MAGAZINE – CHRIS’ OFFICE – DAY

Chris comes in followed by Melissa.

CHRIS

Wyatt is taking care of something today so, he’ll be off.

MELISSA

Magical business?

Chris nods yes. Chris sits at his desk and turns his computer on. Melissa notices he seems tired.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

Is everything okay? You seem tired.

Chris sits back.

CHRIS

Well, let’s just say that I really hope the first trimester ends soon otherwise, I’ll get crazy.

Melissa smiles. At that moment, Chris’ cell phones ring. Chris sees who’s calling.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

Speak of the devil ---

Melissa smirks.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

Babe, what’s up?

Chris tries to sound relaxed, but soon his expression changes.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

Wait, babe ---

It appears that Bianca doesn’t let him talk.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

Honey, if you don’t slow down I won’t be able to understand what you’re saying.

Chris moves the phone away from his ear and so, Bianca can be heard yelling from the other side. Melissa grimaces. Chris takes a deep breath and then approaches the phone back to his ear away.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

B, I’m not saying you don’t explain well. I’m just saying that you need to speak slowly because I cannot understand.

Bianca says something that doesn’t please Chris.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

Why did you call me?

Melissa sits.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

Honey ---

(pauses)

Okay, fine. I won’t forget. I’ll see you later, okay?

Bianca starts crying on the phone and it can be heard.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

(on the phone)

Honey, no, just don’t cry. It was my fault, okay?

(listens)

Okay, if you say that it’s not my fault, then it's not my fault.

(listens)

Yeah, I love you too.

Chris hangs up the phone. Melissa stares at him. Chris lowers his head to the desk.

MELISSA

That bad, huh?

Chris raises his head and looks at Melissa.

CHRIS

It appears that she had an appointment this afternoon and she almost forgot about it.

She was hysteric thinking that the baby is making her forget things.

MELISSA

You don’t ever call her hysteric. Just for your own good.

Chris takes a deep breath.

CHRIS

Can you hold the ship while I attend the appointment with her?

MELISSA

I can’t. I have to interview my cousin, remember? Whitmore Enterprises and what does he thinks about Prescott Group taking over?

CHRIS

(remembers)

Was it today?

Melissa nods.

CHRIS (CONT'D)

Would you mind taking John with you?

MELISSA

Not at all. I had to deal with him for the past two years. What is it a couple of hours?

CHRIS

Thank you.

Melissa stands.

MELISSA

I’ve got to prepare a few things before I leave. Good luck!

Melissa walks out the office. Chris takes a deep breath and sits back. He closes his eyes.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – ATTIC – DAY

Alex is on the floor. He is coughing hard and sweating cold. Wyatt comes and sees him like that. Wyatt runs over him. Prue comes in followed by Melinda and Cassandra. Prue runs over Alex as well.

CASSANDRA

(concerned)

What’s wrong with him?

Prue and Wyatt try to calm Alex down. As Prue tries to calm him, she feels the so familiar sensation of a vision popping into her head. He eyes remind wide open as she stays frozen. Her facial expression shows horror. Wyatt looks at her as he realizes something is wrong.

WYATT

Prue?

The girl seems in some sort of a trance.

MELINDA

She’s having a vision.

PRUE

(in trace)

He’s dying.

Then Prue gets back to herself. Melinda approaches Alex and tries to help Wyatt.

WYATT

Let’s get him to the couch.

Cassandra approaches Prue who seems astonished.

CASSANDRA

(to Prue)

Are you okay?

WYATT

Alex? Alex!

Wyatt and Melinda manage to get Alex on the couch.

MELINDA

(desperate)

Water! We need water!

Cassandra runs fast out of the attic. Prue, sitting on the floor, stares at Alex with a horrified expression on her face.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – ATTIC – DAY

ON A GLASS OF WATER.

Melinda hands the glass of water to Alex who looks better. Alex is sitting on the couch.

MELINDA

Drink it all. It’s water with sugar.

Alex looks up at her.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

It’ll help you calm down.

Melinda looks at Prue who’s sitting on a chair. Wyatt and Cassandra are with her. Prue holds a glass of water as well.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

(to Prue)

You too.

WYATT

Alex, what happened?

Alex has a sip of water.

ALEX

I was just here and then out of a sudden, I started sweating cold and this caught ---

He has another sip of water.

ALEX (CONT'D)

--- It was painful.

Prue has a sip of her water.

PRUE

(looks up at Wyatt)

You mentioned past lives earlier.

MELINDA

Past lives? Is that what’s going on?

WYATT

It looks like Alex’s past life has come to hunt him.

Melinda looks at Alex.

MELINDA

When did it start?

ALEX

A month ago.

WYATT

A month?

Wyatt is surprised.

WYATT (CONT'D)

You never mentioned you’ve been feeling this way for a month now.

ALEX

You never asked.

WYATT

You should have told me.

PRUE

Enough.

(pauses)

Tell me, how did it start?

ALEX

With dreams.

Prue stands. She puts the glass of water on the table.

PRUE

(interested)

What did you see in those dreams?

Alex glances at them. Then, he looks straight to Prue.

ALEX

Well, first I saw a woman.

Alex remembers.

ALEX (CONT'D)

A beautiful woman. I believe she was my mum.

(looks at Melinda)

But not mum Prue. Another mum.

Melinda nods.

ALEX (CONT'D)

She was telling me that I was the son of Zeus.

CASSANDRA

You mean Zeus like the God?

ALEX

Know any other?

Cassandra swallows.

PRUE

What else?

ALEX

I saw battles.

(stands)

I also had some sexual dreams as well.

CASSANDRA

Naughty you.

Melinda tries to hide a smile. Prue shoots Cassandra a reproachful look. Prue then looks at Alex.

WYATT

I also sent him back to the past.

Prue turns to Wyatt.

PRUE

You did what?

WYATT

It was only his soul. I used the spell your mother once used.

Wyatt points to the Book of Shadows. Prue walks over the book and sees the spell.

PRUE

The Past Life Spell.

MELINDA

So, hey, let me see if I understand. Alex’s past life came to hunt him and that past life happens to be a warrior whose mum believe he was the son of Zeus?

Prue turns to Wyatt.

PRUE

Alexander the Great? 

Wyatt nods.

WYATT

I believe so.

ALEX

While I was in his body, a man called me Alexander.

CASSANDRA

Wouldn’t it be a coincidence that they both are named Alexander?

PRUE

It’s just that, a coincidence.

Prue walks towards Alex.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(to Alex)

What else did you see?

Alex takes a deep breath.

ALEX

Last night, before coming here, I dreamt with him again. He was dying.

Prue is serious.

PRUE

Tell me, Alex, do you know how old was Alexander when you went to the past?

ALEX

I have no idea, Prue, but I don’t believe he was too old. His father was still alive.

ON PRUE. She is serious. Wyatt notices Prue’s concern.

WYATT

Honey, what’s wrong?

PRUE

Alexander the Great doesn’t die until he turns 32. But I just had a vision where he dies young.

Prue looks at them all.

PRUE (CONT'D)

And we cannot let that happen, otherwise, we’ll lose both Alexanders.

ON PRUE. She really meant it. Wyatt, Melinda and Cassandra exchange glances.

CUT TO:

EXT. WHITMORE MANOR – DAY

The imposing rock manor facade is shown.

CUT TO:

INT. WHITMORE MANOR – LIVING ROOM – DAY

ON SEBASTIAN. He smiles.

John (35), takes some photos of Sebastian as he poses for them. Sebastian is sitting on a couch in the living room. Melissa sits before him. Melissa seems bored.

MELISSA

Okay, John, I think we’ve got enough photos.

JOHN

Oh, it so rare to see Mr. Whitmore that I want to take all the photos I can.

Sebastian smiles. Melissa silently says a ‘sorry’ to Sebastian. He smiles again.

SEBASTIAN

It’s Okay.

JOHN

So, Mr. Whitmore, kill my curiosity, why does it look like sometimes you just disappear?

MELISSA

(annoyed)

John!

Sebastian laughs.

SEBASTIAN

I disappear?

John stops taking photos. He nods yes.

SEBASTIAN (CONT'D)

Is that what they’re calling now to have a private life?

JOHN

Well, you must understand, a few years ago you were news day in day out.

Sebastian smiles.

MELISSA

He has become a more private person, John. Now, can you please stop the photos and let me be the reporter here?

John doesn’t like it, but he agrees to it.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

Thank you. So, ---

She looks at Sebastian.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

--- Back to what matters. I was asking about your opinion about Prescott Group and its fast ascent to becoming the largest company in America.

SEBASTIAN

I met Julian Prescott once when I first started working with my father. He seemed like an ambitious man to me and back then, he knew what he wanted. Now, I believe that the Group's fats ascent is good for the country.

MELISSA

But he would be in control of the whole country if, in fact, that company becomes the largest in America?

SEBASTIAN

It would be good for the economy of the USA.

MELISSA

Isn’t that too much power for a man only?

SEBASTIAN

He has his associates. I believe that Prescott Group and its acquisitions are good. Think about it. It means more companies working. More workstations. More money.

(pauses)

So, everyone can win if things are done properly.

John takes another photo. Melissa shoots him a look. At that moment, Tamora comes in with a tray with coffee.

TAMORA

I believe it’s time for a break.

Melissa smiles at Tamora.

MELISSA

We could use a break indeed.

(to John)

Hey John, would you mind to give us some space, please?

Tamora and Sebastian exchange glances.

JOHN

(offended)

Excuse me?

MELISSA

You can just pretend you have something else to photograph. 

Tamora realizes that Melissa wants John out of the room.

TAMORA

(to John)

You can photograph the Art Collection.

JOHN

(surprised)

Can I?

TAMORA

Sure. Outside, you will find someone that will take you there.

JOHN

(smiles)

Great.

Tamora smiles. John grabs his camera and heads out the living room. Then, Tamora closes the living room’s door.

MELISSA

Thank you, Tam. That man drives me crazy.

SEBASTIAN

So, we’ve noticed.

Sebastian stands and opens his arms. Melissa stands and both Melissa and Sebastian hug.

SEBASTIAN (CONT'D)

It’s been a while, cous.

MELISSA

Yeah.

(they break the hug)

With your Whitelighter’s duties.

(they hold hands)

No wonders they notice you’re missing from the spot line.

SEBASTIAN

Well, it’s not always my Whitelighter’s duties.

(looks at Tamora)

It’s also my boyfriend’s duties.

Tamora and Sebastian kiss.

MELISSA

So, I heard that what's only missing is some signed papers for you to become husband and wife.

They sit.

TAMORA

Why does everybody think we are going to get married?

MELISSA

Maybe because for the family you already look like a married couple.

SEBASTIAN

(to Tamora)

I wouldn’t mind.

TAMORA

It’s too earlier, okay? Besides, the Elders allowed us to keep going with this relationship if we prove them we can make it work.

MELISSA

There have been two years. What more proves they want?

TAMORA

You don’t know the Elders.

Tamora looks at Sebastian.

TAMORA (CONT'D)

Also, I don’t need some papers to prove how much I love this man.

Tamora and Sebastian kiss. Melissa smiles. Then Sebastian turns to Melissa.

SEBASTIAN

Hey, but back to the reason of this interview, why are you so interested in Prescott Group?

Melissa takes a cup of coffee and has a sip of it. Then she sits back on the couch.

MELISSA

Would you believe if I told you that a demon was working inside?

Tamora and Sebastian exchange glances.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – ATTIC – DAY

ON ALEX. He’s astonished.

ALEX

You mean that I may actually die?

Wyatt, Prue, Melinda, and Cassandra are there.

WYATT

(to Prue)

What exactly did you see?

PRUE

Like I said, I saw Alexander dying.

MELINDA

Are you sure it wasn’t that 32 years old Alexander?

PRUE

The man ---

Prue looks at Alex.

PRUE (CONT'D)

--- Young man I saw looked exactly like Alex looks right now.

WYATT

Maybe you didn’t see him dying. He was a king. Maybe an assassination attempt.

PRUE

He had many assassination attempts, but I know what I saw.

At that moment, Jo comes in.

JO

Hey, guys!

They turn to see her at the attic’s entrance.

PRUE

(rude)

What are you doing here?

MELINDA

Prue ---

Prue is about to saying something, but Jo is faster.

JO

The door was open.

PRUE

It always is.

JO

Anyway, I just passed by to check on you.

She is talking to Prue. Prue is surprised.

PRUE

Why would you do that?

JO

Oh, well because you didn’t appear at P3.

PRUE

P3 is closed today.

JO

I know, but the electrician was supposed to stop by, remember?

It hits Prue. She had completely forgotten about it.

PRUE

I completely forgot about it.

MELINDA

That’s a symptom of being pregnant.

They all look at Melinda.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

Distraction.

CASSANDRA

Are you an expert now?

MELINDA

I’m gonna be double auntie. I have to be.

Melinda smiles.

JO

(to Prue)

Don’t worry, I took care of it.

WYATT

What were you doing at P3?

JO

Working. I decided to finish a few things.

PRUE

Don’t you have a life?

JO

I come from the future so, no. No life in this present.

PRUE

Whatever. Thank you. Now, please.

Prue points to the attic’s door.

PRUE (CONT'D)

We are in the middle of something here.

Prue and Jo stare at one another. Melinda interferes.

MELINDA

It’s okay that she stays.

Prue gives Melinda a fulminant look.

PRUE

Whatever.

Prue gives her back on Jo.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I was saying that I know I saw a teenager Alexander the Great, dying.

JO

(curious)

Alexander the Great?

Prue rolls her eyes.

JO (CONT'D)

Why are you guys talking about Alexander the Great?

WYATT

It appears that he was Alex’s past life.

Wyatt points at Alex. Jo looks at Alex.

ALEX

(smiles; to Jo)

Hi!

JO

(to Prue)

And you saw a teenager Alexander dying?

PRUE

That’s exactly what I said I saw.

JO

But he dies at the age of 32.

Prue is surprised.

PRUE

How do you know that?

JO

History was my favorite subject at school.

Melinda is open-eyed.

MELINDA

Is that so?

Jo nods yes.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

It was also Prue’s.

Prue and Melinda exchange glances.

PRUE

Let’s get back to what matters.

(takes a deep breath)

I saw ---

CASSANDRA

We already know what you saw, Prue.

WYATT

The thing is, if Alexander doesn’t die until he is 32, then why did Prue saw him dying when he was a teenager?

PRUE

I have no idea. In all the books I’ve read about it, they have that thing in common.

(ensures)

He dies at the age of 32. Not before.

Jo is thoughtful.

ALEX

Does it mean that I’m going to die?

CASSANDRA

You are a Whitelighter, Alex.

WYATT

But we are talking about a past life here. A past life almost killed Aunt Phoebe once.

ALEX

Guys, I cannot die. I have a lot of plans for my life.

JO

Have you guys checked Magic School’s Secret Library?

They all turn to Jo.

WYATT

The what?

JO

Oh, you guys don’t know about the Secret Library yet.

They all exchange glances. Jo just spilled out an information about the future. Wyatt and Prue exchange glances.

Some ambulances are seen outside the hospital.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL – MATERNITY UNIT – ULTRASOUND SCAN ROOM – DAY

ON MONITOR. We can see what is supposed to be a baby. It has the size of a lime, though.

Blanche is using the TRANSDUCER to scan a pregnant Bianca. Bianca lies on a bed and she has her shirt up. Her belly is still small, but we can see it already. Chris is right beside Bianca holding her hand. Bianca and Chris smile.

BLANCHE

Can you see it?

Bianca and Chris nod.

CHRIS

It’s so tiny.

BIANCA

(rude)

Of course, it’s tiny, Chris.

Blanche looks at them. Then, Bianca looks at Chris with ‘sorry’ eyes.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

Sorry, babe.

Blanche smiles.

BIANCA (CONT'D)

Dr. Dubois, when will my hormones stop making me look like a bitch?

CHRIS

Bianca!

BIANCA

The doctor is a woman, she understands.

Blanche smiles.

BLANCHE

Well, Bianca, you’re entering the 13th week, so I believe some of the symptoms you have now will fade away eventually.

BIANCA

Are you sure? Because my poor husband ---

Bianca gives Chris a pity look.

CHRIS

It’s okay. I can handle it.

Blanche puts the transducer back to its place and hands Bianca some tissues.

BLANCHE

We are done for today. Your baby is okay. I’ll see you guys on the 15th week.

CHRIS

Sure.

Bianca starts cleaning her belly. Blanche is about to turn around, but something pops into her mind.

BLANCHE

I also wanted to ask you something.

Bianca and Chris nod.

BLANCHE (CONT'D)

Your cousin, Prue, right?

They nod.

BLANCHE (CONT'D)

She never came back again. Is she being followed by another doctor?

Chris and Bianca exchange glances.

CHRIS

Oh, well, Prue is not a doctor person. No offense.

BLACHE

None was taken. But she should be.

CHRIS

We let her know, Dr. Dubois.

Blanche smiles.

BLANCHE

If she decides to, let her know where to find me.

Chris and Bianca force a smile. Blanche leaves the room. Chris helps Bianca to get out the bed.

BIANCA

I agree with her, you know?

CHRIS

Yes, B, but we don’t know what kind of baby is coming.

BIANCA

We don’t know what kind of baby we’re having either.

CHRIS

Well, if he behaves as good as daddy did, we won’t have problems with that.

BIANCA

He has shown powers from the womb. You didn’t.

CHRIS

Don’t remind me of that, please.

BIANCA

Get over it already, honey.

Chris grimaces.

CHRIS

Anyway, Wyatt and Prue’s baby is different. It will be the offspring of the ---

(whispers)

--- Twice Blessed Witches.

Bianca looks around.

BIANCA

No one, Chris. No need to whisper.

CHRIS

Walls have ears, babe.

They look at each other.

CUT TO:

INT. SAN FRANCISCO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL – EXT. ULTRASOUND SCAN ROOM – DAY

The door to the Ultrasound Scan Room is a little bit opened. Blanche stands next to the door. It seems like she heard all that was said inside the room. She looks around and disguises. Then, she walks away.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLIWELL MANOR – ATTIC – DAY

Wyatt, Prue, Melinda, Jo, and Alex are there. Wyatt is reading a history book. Prue, Jo, and Alex just wait.

ALEX

Isn’t she taking so long?

PRUE

Well, if it’s a secret library ---

JO

Be patient.

ALEX

Not easy to be patient when you know you may die.

Melinda’s receives a text. She takes her phone and reads it.

ON PHONE’S SCREEN. The text can be read. It’s from Liam.

‘Hey, beautiful eyes. See you tonight? Lov U’

Melinda smiles. Prue notices it. She walks over Melinda.

PRUE

Is it Liam?

Melinda shoots her a surprised look.

MELINDA

Yeah, it is.

PRUE

I’m disappointed. You haven’t introduced him to me.

WYATT

I’m her brother and she hasn’t to me either.

MELINDA

Look, guys, I will when the time comes.

Prue looks at Jo. Something pops into her mind.

PRUE

Future girl ---

Jo looks at Prue.

JO

It’s that what you’re calling me now?

Prue smiles sarcastically.

PRUE

Tell me, do we ever get to meet Liam?

Jo looks at Melinda.

MELINDA

No information about the future, Jo.

PRUE

C’mon. It won’t harm.

Wyatt and Alex look at Jo.

JO

Sorry, I can’t say anything.

PRUE

So, you know something about it?

Prue stares at Jo.

JO

I ---

PRUE

Don’t deny it.

Jo swallows.

MELINDA

Stop it, Prue.

Prue is about to say something, but Cassandra and Charlotte BEAM in. Charlotte carries a heavy ancient book.

CASSANDRA

We are here!

CHARLOTTE

Cass told me that Alex’s past life has come to hunt him.

WYATT

We don’t know exactly if it is his past life or something that happened there.

CHARLOTTE

And are we sure that it is Alexander the Great?

PRUE

Yeah, go figure. The skinny boy being Alexander the Great.

Alex shoots Prue a look.

ALEX

Not funny.

CASSANDRA

It actually is, cous. Sorry.

WYATT

(to Alex)

Pregnant mood.

Alex shakes his head.

PRUE

Anyway, Charlie, is there something in that Secret Library? Something we don’t know?

MELINDA

By the way, how come we didn’t know about the Secret Library at Magic School?

CHARLOTTE

Only staffs and the Elders know about it.

MELINDA

Dad and Aunt Paige are the Headmasters of that school.

CHARLOTTE

Still, you don’t work there.

WYATT

Girls, please.

Melinda shrugs.

CHARLOTTE

Okay, so, Alexander the Great, right?

(pauses)

Someday I went to the Secret Library to find some new book to read ---

CASSANDRA

New?

Charlotte shoots her sister a look. Then, she gets back to the matter.

CHARLOTTE

--- An old book called my attention. This book.

Charlotte shows them the book she’s carrying.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

It is a compilation of documents written by Ptolemy while young.

PRUE

The mathematician? 

CHARLOTTE

No, the general that fought along with Alexander in many battles.

(pauses)

This compilation was buried with Ptolemy. But the Elders thought that it was safer to keep it in another place.

PRUE

So, what? They desecrated Ptolemy’s tomb and took his work to their Secret Library?

CHARLOTTE

This and all the works they could save from the most famous Library that has ever existed.

WYATT

Alexandria?

Charlotte nods.

PRUE

But the books there, the fires ---

CHARLOTTE

The Elders managed to save a lot of them. Some are still damaged, but there’s hope that someday, someone could restore them. Even artifacts that had been lost in time are kept in the Secret Museum.

PRUE

A Secret Museum?

Charlotte nods yes.

PRUE (CONT'D)

With ancient artifacts?

Charlotte nods again.

WYATT

(to Charlotte)

Back to what matters now, Charlie.

CHARLOTTE

Ptolemy grew up with Alexander and other boys. This book contains stories about young Alexander and his friends.

PRUE

Wait, is Hephaestion in that stories too?

Charlotte nods.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Does it say if they really had a thing? Or ---

(cuts herself off)

--- Wait, don’t tell me. You have to lend me that book.

CHARLOTTE

I shouldn’t even have taken it from the library.

ALEX

Wait, was Alexander gay?

PRUE

It was thought that he was bisexual, but not proves.

JO

I believe their story is fascinating. Mysterious too.

WYATT

What else does it say?

CHARLOTTE

Well, in this compilation, there’s a story about an attempt on Alexander’s life when he was 18.

WYATT

Same age as Alex.

CHARLOTTE

The interesting part comes now.

Charlotte puts the book on the table.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

Ptolemy said that someone that he calls a ‘demon’ poisoned Alexander for days.

PRUE

A demon?

CHARLOTTE

That’s what he called him. That demon had a name actually. Acacius.

Wyatt heads to the Book of Shadows and begins flipping through its pages.

CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)

Ptolemy also said that Acacius was found dealing with magic.

PRUE

Did that Acacius succeed in killing Alexander?

JO

He didn’t. Otherwise, we would know it.

CHARLOTTE

Exactly. Ptolemy wrote that the Gods sent help and they captured the demon and killed him.

ALEX

So, that’s it. We just wait for the Gods to send Alexander help and I’m safe.

WYATT

I don’t think it works that way, Alex.

Prue looks at Wyatt.

WYATT (CONT'D)

(to Prue)

You had a vision.

ALEX

Wait, but Charlotte just said that ---

PRUE

The Gods sent help. We are that help sent by the Gods.

MELINDA

You’re kidding, right? That’s a long trip, Prue.

PRUE

Do we want to save the kiddo or what?

They all stare at one another.

PANDORA

Hey, bro!

JUNIOR

Hi.

Pandora realizes he is leaving.

PANDORA

Are you going out?

Junior stares at his sister.

JUNIOR

Why?

PANDORA

Well, I was thinking we could you know, have a brother and sister’s night? Tam is at Sebastian’s and Mum is dealing with a charge and dad, well he is at the station.

Junior sighs.

JUNIOR

I was going out, Pan.

PANDORA

You almost don’t spend anytime time at home, Junior. And you are on a sabbatical. 

JUNIOR

Pan, I don’t want to fight.

PANDORA

I don’t want either.

Pandora approaches him.

I bought them in London on our last visit.

MELISSA

You sound like a rich woman talking.

Tamora laughs.

TAMORA

I have a rich taste.

Tamora has a sip of her tea. BELLS are heard. Both Sebastian and Tamora look up.

SEBASTIAN

That’s for me.

Sebastian stands.

MELISSA

What’s happening?

TAMORA

A charge just called him.

SEBASTIAN

Duty calls.

(to Melissa)

Goodbye, cous.

Sebastian ORBS out. Melissa is astonished.

MELISSA

It is weird to see him disappearing like that.

Tamora smiles.

TAMORA

I’ve got used to it.

MELISSA

(curious)

So, when charges call you have to let off what you’re doing to attend their call?

TAMORA

Pretty much. It’s not easy being a Whitelighter. Especially when you have to pretend you have a normal life has a normal person.

Melissa’s phone rings. She looks at the screen.

MELISSA

It’s just a text.

ON SCREEN: A TEXT FROM JUNIOR:

‘See you later at the Downtown Bar?’

Melissa smiles. Then she answers it.

ON SCREEN: MELISSA TYPING A TEXT MESSAGE:

‘You bet I’ll be there. 😊’

Melissa smiles again. Tamora notices it.

TAMORA

New boyfriend?

Melissa feels caught.

MELISSA

Oh, no. It’s just a ---

Tamora shoots her a look.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

--- A friend.

TAMORA

Do you smile that big every time a friend texts you?

MELISSA

I wasn’t smiling.

And yet she tries to hide a smile.

MELISSA (CONT'D)

Look, it’s just we’ve been hanging out and it’s been quite pleasant to talk to him. You know?

TAMORA

I know the feeling.

Melissa lowers her gaze ashamed. Tamora smiles and has a sip of her tea.

MELISSA

I must find John. He probably got lost inside his camera by now.

TAMORA

Of course.

Tamora keeps smiling. Melissa has a sip of her tea.

JO

Just let me go with you.

PRUE

I said no. I’ll go alone.

JO

But I can help you.

PRUE

Melinda goes.

MELINDA

Why me? I didn’t say I wanted to go.

WYATT

Prue, please.

PRUE

I just took a hunt last night with her. That was enough.

JO

Think that you can keep an eye on me while we’re there.

Prue looks surprised at Jo.

JO (CONT'D)

What? Do you think I don’t know you asked that to them?

Jo points to Cassandra, Charlotte, and Melinda. Prue lowers her gaze.

PRUE

With one condition.

Prue looks at Jo.

PRUE (CONT'D)

I’m the boss.

Jo looks at Melinda.

MELINDA

Oh, she means that whatever she asks you to do, you’ll do it.

JO

But ---

PRUE

No buts. Take it or leave it.

Jo glances at them all.

JO

Fine.

PRUE

Good.

WYATT

Good, now that we’ve settled that down, what’s the plan?

PRUE

Easy. Alex switches souls with his past life and we go back find who that Acacius is or was and vanquish him.

WYATT

Easy?

ALEX

Easy?

PRUE

You guys have a better idea?

Alex and Wyatt exchange glances.

WYATT

What do we do with Alexander once he enters Alex’s body?

MELINDA

We could freeze him.

CHARLOTTE

That’s a thought.

CASSANDRA

Yeah, otherwise he would remember it all once he gets back.

PRUE

See? Problem solved.

Prue walks over the Book of Shadows and takes it.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Now, Alex ---

Prue walks over Alex.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Cast the spell.

Prue hands Alex the book. He takes it.

ALEX

But I don’t know how to cast spells. I’m not good at it at Magic School.

CHARLOTTE

That’s lack of confidence, Alex. I already told you.

ALEX

But ---

PRUE

No buts. You have Halliwell blood, kiddo. You just have to change the last word for ‘my body in the past’.

Alex glances at them.

ALEX

Okay.

Alex sits on the couch and takes a deep breath. Then he chants.

ALEX (CONT'D)

‘In this time and in this place

Take this spirit I displace

Bring it forth, while I go back

Alex looks at Prue.

ALEX (CONT'D)

‘ --- my body in the past’.

Alex’s face FLASHES PURPLE. Charlotte heads towards him to put him in a comfortable position.

CUT TO:

Alexander is lying on his bed. Eyes opened looking at the roof of the tent. His face FLASHES PURPLE. Then, Alexander stands immediately. He looks at his arms and body. He looks at his clothes. Alexander looks around and sees a sword over a table. He grabs it and looks at his own reflection on the blade.

ALEX

It worked!

That’s not Alexander, but Alex.

Wyatt WAVES his hands and Alex’s body is frozen.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Now, us. Quickly.

Jo approaches Prue. Prue reaches her right hand to hold Jo’s. Jo stares at Prue’s hand. Then Jo grabs it. Prue looks at Melinda.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(to Melinda)

You’re coming.

MELINDA

But ---

PRUE

I said no buts.

Melinda takes a deep breath.

WYATT

Don’t forget, Alex doesn’t know the return spell.

PRUE

I’ve got it in a paper.

Wyatt nods.

WYATT

Good luck.

PRUE

(to Wyatt)

Two hours max.

Wyatt nods.

CHARLOTTE

Be careful, guys.

Prue closes her eyes and focus.

PRUE

Please, please take me to Alex’s soul. His present soul.

ON PRUE’S CUPID RING. It glows purple. A small heart starts to taking shape and soon, Prue, Melinda and Jo are surrounded by a pink light and disappear.

CASSANDRA

Why is it never us going back in time?

Wyatt and Charlotte exchange glances. Charlotte smiles.

CUT TO:

INT. ALEXANDER THE GREAT’S TENT – MACEDONIAN WAR CAMP - DAY (C. 338BC)

Alex is there still looking his own reflection in the sword’s blade. PINK BEAMS begin to appear. Alex turns to look at it. Soon, Prue, Melinda, and Jo are there. They look around.

JO

We’ve made it!

PRUE

Any doubts we would?

They look at Alex.

ALEX

You guys are here.

MELINDA

So, how do we find this Acacius?

JO

I think we can’t go that far with these clothes.

Something calls Prue’s attention. She squints.

PRUE

Did you drink it, Alex?

Prue walks fast to the table.

ON A CUP.

PRUE (CONT'D)

(to Alex)

Did you drink it?

Prue takes the cup. Alex, Melinda, and Jo look at her.

ALEX

I didn’t drink anything. I just got here.

PRUE

Well, then Alexander did.

At that moment, Alex feels a strong pain in his stomach. He screams holding his own stomach. Jo tries to help him, but Alex falls down the ground.

ALEX

It hurts.

MELINDA

(worried)

Alex!

Melinda looks at Prue.

MELINDA (CONT'D)

What do we do?

At that moment, a young man (PTOLEMY, 19), comes in.

PTOLEMY

Alexander!

He sees Alex on the floor. Then he looks at the girls.

PTOLEMY (CONT'D)

What ---?

Ptolemy looks at their clothes.

PTOLEMY (CONT'D)

Who are you? Where did you come from? Those vestments ---

Prue approaches Ptolemy quickly.

PRUE

We were sent by the God’s.

Prue holds Ptolemy by his shoulders. Alex screams loudly.

PRUE (CONT'D)

What’s your name?

PTOLEMY

Ptolemy. The Gods?

PRUE

Look, Ptolemy, he’s dying. Someone poisoned him.

Ptolemy is desperate. Alex is in great pain.

ON ALEXANDER. He is on the floor. He is having so much pain. Charlotte and Cassandra try to help him. Wyatt stands before them.

CHARLOTTE

The pain must be too strong.

CASSANDRA

Too strong to keep him frozen.

WYATT

It could be. Let me try to freeze him again.

Wyatt WAVES his hands and FREEZES Alexander.

CHARLOTTE

It worked.

WYATT

The pain is too strong. He may unfreeze again.

CASSANDRA

Then, I guess you must keep freezing him, cous.

The three of them exchange glances.

CUT TO:

INT. ALEXANDER THE GREAT’S TENT – MACEDONIAN WAR CAMP - DAY (C. 338BC)

ON ALEX. He’s still on the floor feeling so much pain.

MELINDA

Prue!

Melinda is desperate. Prue looks at Alex. Concern is notorious in her face. Jo looks at Prue. Both stare at one another. Then Prue turns to Ptolemy.

PRUE

Look, we need to find Acacius.

PTOLEMY

(perplexed)

Acacius?

Prue nods.

PTOLEMY 
(CONT'D)

He is a trusted general.

PRUE

He poisoned Alexander.

Ptolemy looks at who he believes is Alexander. On the floor, a dying Alex begs.

ALEX

Please, do as she says. Please.

Ptolemy approaches Alex and kneels.

PTOLEMY

Alexander ---

ALEX

The Gods sent them, my friend. Please, help me.

Alex begs. Ptolemy looks at his friend. He stands and looks at Prue. Then he looks around. He sees the white sheet on the bed. He takes one of the sheets and hands it to Prue.

PTOLEMY

Explaining that the Gods sent help wearing weird vestments would be hard.

PRUE

Thank you.

Prue wears the sheet as if it was a tunic. Then, Ptolemy signs her to follow. They leave the tent.

JO

She may need help.

Jo stands and grabs another sheet. She puts it on as if it was a tunic.

MELINDA

What are you doing?

JO

I’m going along. You’d better cover your clothes too. In case someone comes in.

Jo leaves the tent as well. Alex is still in pain.

MELINDA

Calm down, Alex! You’ll be fine.

Alex screams.

MELINDA 
(CONT'D)

They took the sheets. What do I wear?!

Melinda looks around. She sees some sort of a fur blanket and heads towards it.

CUT TO BLACK.

FADE IN:

EXT. MACEDONIAN WAR CAMP - DAY (C. 338BC)

Prue and Ptolemy walk through the tents.

PTOLEMY

Alexander hasn’t been feeling good lately. He’s having these pains.

Ptolemy looks at Prue.

PTOLEMY (CONT'D)

Are you a God?

Prue smiles.

PRUE

Not even close, but I work for them. Kinda.

PTOLEMY

If the Gods don’t want Alexander to die, that means he’s destined for greatest, right?

PRUE (CONT'D)

You can say that.

JO (O.S.)

Wait!

Prue and Ptolemy turn around. They see Jo running towards them.

PRUE

What are you doing?

JO

I came to help, that’s what I’m doing.

Prue shoots her a look. They turn around to keep walking. Ptolemy sees a man heading to the entrance of a tent right before them.

PTOLEMY

That’s him. That’s Acacius.

Ptolemy points to Acacius. Acacius sees them.

ACACIUS

(whispering)

Witches!

Acacius enters the tent. Ptolemy, Prue, and Jo go into that tent too.

CUT TO:

INT. ACACIUS’ TENT - MACEDONIAN WAR CAMP - DAY (C. 338BC)

This tent looks just like a normal one. Acacius comes in. He approaches a trunk next to the bed. He opens it and takes a bottle from it.

Prue, Jo, and Ptolemy come in.

PRUE

No so fast!

Acacius turns around and faces them.

ACACIUS

How did you find me?

PRUE

Why poisoning Alexander?

ACACIUS

Why?

(laughs)

Because I had a glimpse of what’s to come. The Greatest Alexander.

(keeps laughing)

I poisoned him and cast a spell so he feels the same in every single life he lives. Just in case he decides to return to this world.

Prue RAISES her hand and TELEKINETICALLY she TIGHTENS Acacius throat. Ptolemy is astonished.

PRUE

Is there an antidote? 

Even suffocating, Acacius laughs.

ACACIUS

You’ll ---

Acacius’ face starts becoming red.

ACACIUS (CONT'D)

--- never find it.

Jo looks at Acacius hand. He is still holding the bottle.

JO

There.

Jo points to Acacius’ hand.

JO (CONT'D)

It can be the antidote.

Acacius raises his hands and is about to drop the bottle on the floor. Prue TIGHTENS his throat more.

SLOW MOTION: Acacius drops the bottle. Jo WAVES her hand and TELEKINETICALLY moves the bottle to her own hands. Prue TIGHTENS Acacius’ throat and ---

NORMAL MOTION: EXPLODES. Acacius explodes completely. Ptolemy is astonished.

PTOLEMY

Only Gods could do such a thing.

Prue turns to Jo.

PRUE

You’ve got the bottle?

Jo nods yes.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Good.

They stare at one another.

CUT TO:

INT. ALEXANDER THE GREAT’S TENT – MACEDONIAN WAR CAMP - DAY (C. 338BC)

Alex is still on the floor. Melinda is wearing the blanket as a tunic and is beside Alex. The boy is still in pain and holding his stomach.

At that moment, Hephaistion comes in. He sees Alexander on the floor and gets worried.

HEPHAISTION

Alexander? What’s wrong?

Hephaistion approaches Alex.

HEPHAISTION (CONT'D)

Alexander, please. Don’t forget. I’m Patroclus and you are Achilles. Remember?

At that moment, Prue, Jo, and Ptolemy come in. Jo heads straight to Alex. Hephaistion looks at Ptolemy.

HEPHAISTION (CONT'D)

What is happening?

PTOLEMY

He’ll be fine. Please, Hephaistion, wait outside.

Jo gives the liquid in the bottle to Alex. Prue and Melinda watch. Hephaistion leaves the tent. Alex drinks what’s in the bottle. Prue turns to Ptolemy.

PRUE

He’ll be fine. Please, don’t tell anyone about us.

PTOLEMY

Who would believe that Gods appeared to me?

PRUE

(smiles)

I told you. We are no Gods.

PTOLEMY

For me you are.

Alex pains start to pass. Melinda helps him sit. Prue turns to them.

PRUE

Time to go back home.

PTOLEMY

(to Alex)

Are you well?

Alex nods yes. Ptolemy leaves the tent. Prue takes off the sheet and walks towards Alex.

PRUE

Read this.

Prue takes a piece of paper from her pants pocket.

PRUE (CONT'D)

It’ll take you home.

Alex nods. He starts chanting.

ALEX

(chanting)

‘In this time and in this place

Take this spirit I displace

Bring me forth, while he goes back

To his body in the past’

His face FLASHES PURPLE and then he collapses.

PRUE

Let’s go fast.

JO

Quickly, he needs to drink this.

Jo hands the bottle to Charlotte. Wyatt WAVES her hands and unfreezes Alex. The boy holds his own stomach with pain. Charlotte takes the bottle and gives it to drink to Alex. As soon as the liquid touches Alex’s lips, the boy starts feeling better.

Wyatt stands and approaches Prue.

WYATT

Everything went well?

Prue nods. Ales sits.

CHARLOTTE

Feeling better?

Alex nods yes.

ALEX

Thank you.

Alex looks at them.

ALEX (CONT'D)

Really.

MELINDA

You’re family, kiddo.

PRUE

We do everything for our family.

Prue smiles. Wyatt smiles and kisses Prue’s forehead. Charlotte and Cassandra hug Alex. Melinda smile. Jo looks at them all.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Charlie, get the rest of the antidote save in that Secret Museum.

Charlotte nods. Jo seems blue. She sneaks out the attic thinking that no one is seeing her, but Prue sees her leaving.

Hey!

JO

What is it?

PRUE

I just wanted to thank you for what you did back then.

JO

I did nothing.

PRUE

You helped to save my cousin’s life.

Jo lowers her gaze. Then, she looks at Prue.

JO

It’s nice how you guys look after each other.

PRUE

That’s what family is for, right?

JO

Right.

Prue notices something is wrong with Jo.

PRUE

Are you thinking about her?

Jo looks at her.

PRUE (CONT'D)

Your mother?

Jo looks aside.

PRUE (CONT'D)

You must miss her.

JO

(serious)

You can’t miss someone you’ve never met.
