Jose, what's going on?
Bad news, man.

Volunteers?
Yeah, and they said your name.

Hey, maybe they'll
give you a pardon, man.

Yeah. That's why none of
the volunteers come back.
They all get a pardon.

Some came back, l heard.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

Please put me back!
Don't take me.

They got 'em up
on the seventh floor.
They hide 'em up there.

They're all messed up
in the head.
Brains don't work.

You don't know
they're all messed up.
Nobody's seen 'em.

Maybe they're not messed up.
That's a rumor.
Nobody knows that.

l don't believe that.

Good luck, man.

Volunteer duty.

COLE: l didn't volunteer.

You causing trouble again?

No, no trouble.

Thank you.
You two wait outside.

He's got a history, Doctor.
Violence.

Anti-social six.
Repeated violations of
the Permanent Emergency Code.

lnsolence. Defiance.

Disregard of authority.
Doing 25 to life.

l don't think
he's gonna hurt us.

You aren't gonna hurt us,
are you, Mr. Cole?

No, sir.

Why don't you sit down,
Mr. Cole?

We appreciate
your volunteering.
You're a very good observer.

Thank you.

GEOLOGlST: We have
a very advanced program.
Something very different.

MlCROBlOLOGlST: Opportunity
to reduce your sentence.

ZOOLOGlST:
And possibly play
an important role

in returning the human race
to surface of the earth.

ASTROPHYSlClST: We want
tough-minded people.
Strong mentally.

We've had some misfortunes
with unstable types.

ENGlNEER:
For a man in your position,
an opportunity.

Not to volunteer
could be a real mistake.

MlCROBlOLOGlST:
Definitely a mistake.

. . .wandering around
in nothing
but his underpants

and one of those plastic,
see-through lady's raincoats.

So, they get there,
they ask the guy real nice
for some kind of lD.

He gets agitated,
starts screaming
about viruses.

Totally irrational,
totally disoriented.

Doesn't know where he is,
what day of the week it is.

Lemme see.

All they got was his name.
Thanks.

Of course, they figured
he's stoned out of his mind.

Some kind of
psychotic episode.

He's been tested for drugs?
Negative for drugs.

But he took on five cops
like he was dusted
to the eyeballs.

No drugs. You believe that?
He's in restraints.

Yeah. Weren't you listenin'?
l've got two police officers
in the hospital !

The medic gave him enough
Stelazine to kill a horse.
Look at him. Rarin' to go.

That would explain
the bruises, l guess.
The struggle.

Yeah. You wanna go in there,
examine him, what?

Yes, please.

ls this all you have?
Ran it through your system?

No matchup.
No license, no prints,
no warrants. Nothing.

l should probably
go in with you.

No, thank you.
That won't be necessary.

All right.
He'll be right here,
just in case.

Mr. Cole,
my name is Kathryn Railly.
l'm a psychiatrist.

l work for the county.
l don't work for the police.

So my concern is
for your well-being.
Do you understand that?

Need to go! Need to go!

l can't make
the police let you go.

But l do want to
help you, so l. . .

l need you to tell me
exactly what happened tonight.

Do you think
you can do that, James?

May l call you James?

James.

Nobody ever calls me that.

Have you been
a patient at County?
No.

Have l seen you someplace?
Not possible.

l need to go. l need to. . .
l'm supposed to be
gathering information.

What kind of information?
Won't help you.

Won't help anyone.
Won't change anything.

James, do you know
why you're here?

'Cause l'm a good observer.
Got a tough mind.

l see.

You don't remember
assaulting a police officer?

Why am l chained?
Why are these chains on me?

You've been in
an institution before,
haven't you?

Or hospital?
No! Now l need to go!

Need to go!

Have you been
in prison, James?
Underground.

Hiding?

l love this air.

Oh, it's such wonderful air.

What's wonderful
about the air, James?
Very fresh. No germs.

Why do you think
there aren't any germs
in the air?

This is October, right?
April.

What year is this?
What year
do you think it is?

1 996.

That's the future, James.
Do you think you're living
in the future?

1 996 is the past.
No, 1 996 is the future.

This is 1 990.

(LOUD CHATTlNG)

Shut up, ladies.

Where're you taking me?

South of France, buddy.
Fancy hotel. You'll love it.

l can't go.
l just need to make
a telephone call.

Yeah, yeah. Zip it, daisy.
You fooled the shrink,
but you don't fool us.

Let's go, ace.

All right.
Come on, come on.

There you go.
Now, lemme see
your head, Jimbo.

See if you got
any creepy crawlers.

l need to make
a telephone call.

Got to take you over to
the doctor, Jimbo. Can't make
no calls 'til the doctor says.

lt's very important!
What you got to do, Jimbo,
is take it easy.

Relax into things.
And we'll all get along
fine if you just relax.

Wow! Whoo!

Let's go.
Come on, let's go.

Hey, Goines!

Yo. Goines!

Yo. Jeffrey!

Goines!
What?

Look here. This here's James.

Now, do me a favor.
Why don't you show him around?

Tell him the TV rules.
Show him the games
and stuff. Okay?

How much you gonna
pay me? How much?
l'd be doin' your job.

Five thousand dollars, my man.
That enough?

JEFFREY: Five thousand.

l'll wire a check
to your account as usual.

Five thousand dollars!
Five thousand dollars!

Five thousand dollars.

l'll give him the deluxe
mental hospital tour.

My man !
Kid around,
makes 'em feel good.

We're pals. l love you.
You're the prisoners.
No, you're the guards.

Now you got it.

Okay, it's all in good fun.

Here's some games here.
And there's. . .

Get out! Get out!

(WHlMPERlNG)

He was in my chair.

Games. Games.

Here's some games.
Games that wanna get out.

See? More games.
Games, they vegetize you.

See?

lf you play the games,
you're voluntarily
taking a tranquilizer.

l guess they gave you
some chemical restraints.

Drugs!

What'd they give you?
Thorazine? Haldol?
How much? How much?

Learn your drugs.
Know your doses.
lt's elementary.

l need to make
a telephone call.
A telephone call?

That's communication
with the outside world.

Doctor's discretion. No.

lf all of these nuts
could just make phone calls,

it could spread insanity,
oozing through
telephone cables,

oozing to the ears
of all these poor,
sane people, infecting them.

Wackos everywhere.
A plague of madness.

ln fact, very few, Jim. . .

Jim, very few of us here
are actually mentally ill.

l'm not saying
you're not mentally ill.

For all l know
you're crazy as a loon.

But that's not
why you're here.

That's not why you're here!
That's not why you're here!

You're here
because of the system.

There's the television.
lt's all right there.

All right there.

Look, listen, kneel, pray.
The commercials!

We're not productive anymore.
Don't make things anymore.

lt's all automated.
What are we for then?
We're consumers, Jim.

Okay, okay.
Buy a lot of stuff,
you're a good citizen.

But if you don't buy
a lot of stuff,
what are you then?

What? You're mentally ill !

Fact, Jim. Fact.

lf you don't buy things:
toilet paper, new cars,

electrically operated
sexual devices,

stereo systems with
brain-implanted headphones,

screwdrivers with miniature
built-in radar devices,

voice-activated computers. . .

Take it easy, Jeffrey.
Be calm.

JEFFREY: Right. That's right.
You're a very
attractive woman.

(EXCLAlMS)

lf you want to watch
a particular television
program, like All My Children,

you can go to the charge nurse
and tell her the day,

the time the show you
wanna see is on.

But you have to tell her
before the show is
scheduled to be on.

There was this guy
and he was always requesting
shows that had already played.

Yes. No. You have
to tell her before.

He couldn't quite
grasp the idea

that the charge nurse
couldn't make it be yesterday.

She couldn't turn back time!
Thank you, Einstein.

Now he, he was nuts.
He was a fruitcake, Jim.

Okay, that's it, Jeffrey.

You're going to get a shot.

l warned you.

Right. Right, right, right.
l got a little carried away

explaining the inner workings
of the institution to Jim.

l don't really come
from outer space.

L.J. Washington.
He doesn't really
come from outer space.

Don't mock me, my friend.

(LAUGHlNG)

(GROWLlNG)
Get outta my chair!

lt's a condition of
mental divergence.

l find myself
on the planet Ogo.

Part of an intellectual elite

preparing to subjugate
the barbarian hordes on Pluto.

But even though
this is a totally convincing
reality for me in every way,

nevertheless, Ogo is actually
a construct of my psyche.

l am mentally divergent

in that l am escaping
certain unnamed realities

that plague my life here.

When l stop going there,

l will be well.

Are you also divergent,
friend?

This is a place
for crazy people.

l'm not crazy.

We don't use that term,
"crazy," Mr. Cole.

You've got some
real nuts here!

l know some things
that you don't know.

lt's gonna be very difficult
for you to understand it.

Hey! Hey, hey.

Hey, l'm not going
to hurt anyone.

All right.

Look,

have any of you
heard of the Army of
the Twelve Monkeys?

They, they paint this.

They stencil this
on the sides of
buildings everywhere.

Have you seen this?

Mr. Cole?
Have you seen this?

Why don't you take your time

and try to explain this
from the beginning?

Right, right. lt's 1 990.

Okay, that makes sense.
They wouldn't've been
active yet.

(SHOUTS)

(SlGHS)

Five billion people died
in 1 996 and 1 997.

Almost the entire population
of the world.

Only about one percent
of us survived.

Are you going to save us?

How can l save you?
This already happened.

l can't save you. Nobody can.

l am simply trying
to gather information

to help the people
in the present trace
the path of the virus.

We're not in the present now,
Mr. Cole?
No.

1 990 is the past.
This already happened.
That's what l'm trying. . .

Mr. Cole? Mr. Cole?

You believe 1 996
is the present then,
is that it?

No! 1 996 is the past too.
Listen to me. What l. . .

What l. . .

What l need to do is
make a telephone call.

l can straighten this out
if l make a telephone call.

Who would you call?
Who would straighten
everything out?

The scientists. They'll want
to know that they sent me
to the wrong time.

l can leave a voice-mail
message that they monitor
from the present.

Can l just make
one telephone call, please?

Please?

What are you doing
in the dog bowl?
Get out of there!

(PHONE RlNGlNG)
Who put those Doritos
in there anyway?

Yes? What? Voice mail?

Look, l don't know. . .
Stop makin' that noise!

l don't know
what you're talkin' about.

ls this a joke?
l don't know any scientists.

Duanne, get out. . . James who?

(DlAL TONE)

Wasn't who you expected?

No. lt was some lady.
She didn't know anything.

Well, maybe it was
the wrong number.

No. That's why they chose me.
l remember things.

James, where did you
grow up?

Dr. Railly.

KATHRYN: l have
the strangest feeling
l've met you before.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Wait, this is 1 990.

l'm supposed to be
leaving messages in 1 996!

lt's not the right number yet!
That's the problem !

COLE:
We have a message for them.

No!

(GUNSHOT)

Won't work. You can't open it.

You think you can
remove the grill,
but you can't. lt's welded.

See? Told you.
All the doors are locked too.

They're protecting people
on the outside from us

when the people on the outside
are as crazy as us.

Do you know what "crazy" is?
Crazy is majority rules. Yeah.

Take germs for example.

Germs?

ln the eighteenth century,
no such thing.

Nada. Nothing.
No one even imagined
such a thing !

No sane person, anyway.

Along comes this doctor. . .

Semmelweis! Semmelweis.

Semmelweis comes along
and he's trying to
convince people,

other doctors mainly,

that there are these teeny,
tiny, invisible bad things
called germs

that get into your body
and make you sick.

He's trying to get doctors
to wash their hands.

What is this guy? Crazy?

Teeny, tiny, invisible,
"what do you call 'em?
Germs? What?"

Now, cut to
the twentieth century.

Last week as a matter of fact,
right before l got dragged
into this hellhole!

l go in to order a burger
in this fast-food joint.

The guy drops it on the floor.

Jim, he picks it up,
wipes it off.

He hands it to me
like it was all okay.

"What about germs?" l say.
He says, "l don't believe
in germs.

"Germs are just a plot
they made up

"so they can sell you
disinfectants and soaps."

Now, he's crazy, right? See?

There's no right.
There's no wrong.
There's only popular opinion.

You, you, you believe
in germs, right?

l'm not crazy.

Of course not!
You want to escape, right?
That's very sane.

l can help you.
You want me to, don't ya?
Get you out?

You know how to
get outta here?

(LAUGHlNG)

Yes, my son !
Then why don't ya?

Why don't l try to escape?
That's what you
were gonna ask.

Good question.
Very good question.
lntelligent.

Because l would be
crazy to escape.
l have sent out word.

l am all taken care of.

What does that mean?

l've managed to
contact certain underlings,
evil spirits,

secretaries of secretaries,
and other assorted minions

who will contact my father.

And when my father finds out
l'm in this kind of place,

he'll have them transfer me
to one of those classy joints,

where they treat you properly,
like a person, a guest!

With sheets and towels
like a big hotel,

with great drugs
for all of us nut-case,
lunatic, maniac devils!

(ALL GROANlNG)

JEFFREY: Sorry. Sorry.

l got a little agitated.

The thought of escape
crossed my mind.
And suddenly. . .

Suddenly, l felt like bending
the fucking bars back!

And ripping out the goddamn
window frames and eating them !

Yes, eating them !

And leaping, leaping, leaping !

Colonics for everyone!

All right! You dumb assholes,
l'm a mental patient.

l'm supposed to act out.

Wait till you morons
find out who l am ! My father's
gonna be really upset.

And when my father gets upset,
the ground shakes.

My father is God !
l worship my father!

NARRATOR ON TV:
Рўhese dramatic videotapes,
secretly obtained

by animal-rights activists,
have aroused
public indignation.

But many scientists
vehemently disagree.

Torture experiments.

We're all monkeys.

They hurt you?

Not as bad as
what they're doing
to the Easter Bunny.

(JEFFREY CHUCKLlNG)

COLE: Look at them.

They're just askin' for it.

NARRATOR:
Animals inside the lab...

Maybe the human race
deserves to be wiped out.

Wiping out the human race?

lt's a great idea! lt's great!

But more of a long-term thing.

First we have to focus
on more immediate goals.

l didn't say a word
about you-know-what.

What are you talking about?

Your plan. Emancipation !

What are you writing?
You a reporter?
lt's private.

A lawsuit?
lt's private.

You gonna sue 'em?
Yo, Jimbo. Time for your meds.

TV ANNOUNCER:

Monkey Business.

(LAUGHlNG)

Get it? Monkey. Monk key.

Monk key.

What?

Shh.

TV ANNOUNCER:
lf you see a bearish future
in the decade ahead,

consider the changes
sweeping the world and
the opportunities they offer.

"And the opportunities

They really dosed you. Jim !

JEFFREY: Major load.
Danger, Will Robinson, danger.

You got to get it together.
Focus, focus, focus.

Remember the plan.
l did my part!

What?

Shh.

Not "what," when.

When?
Yes. When.

Now! Now, Jim ! Now!

Yes! Now! Buy! Sell !

Stocks! Bonds!
Purchase! Sell ! Yes!

No more monkey business! No

more monkey business!
l am getting dizzy.

JEFFREY: Yes, enhance
your portfolio now.

Five hundred dollars.
l got $500. l'm insured !

Yeah ! Window of opportunity
is opening now.

Now is the time for
all good men to seize
the moment. The moment!

Now is the time
for all good men
to seize the day!

WARDEN: God damn it, Jeffrey!
Quit playin' the fool !

MasterCard ! Visa!

The key to happiness!

Jim, seize the moment!

WARDEN:

For God's sake!

Last chance! Last chance!

Last chance! Last. . .

The best place to go
would be Florida.

The Keys are lovely
this time of year.

GROUCHO MARX:
...it's the only way
to travel.

l was gonna bring along
the wife and kiddies,

but the grocer couldn't
spare another barrel.

CHICO: l was gonna bring
my grandfather,
but there's no room for...

Two's not working today.
Use one.

Kathryn, this was in my box!

But l have a slight suspicion
it wasn't meant for me.

"You are the most
bootiful woman
l have ever sin.

"You live in a bootiful world,
but you don't know it.

"You have freedom, sunshine,
air you can breathe. . ."

James Cole, right?

(LAUGHlNG)

"l would do anything
to stay her,
but l must leave.

"Please help me."
Okay, okay, okay.

Poor man.
Hey, Kathryn?

James Cole is
one of yours, right?

He eloped. Last seen,
he was up on two.

Shit!

(ALARM RlNGlNG)

We have to know exactly
what's there so we can fix it.

Doctor, we have a visitor.

DOCTOR: May l help you?
Excuse me?

May l help you?
Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Jim? Jim?

Hey, Jimbo.

What's up, man?

Hey, Jimbo.

All right, it's okay.
Take it easy.

lt'll be all right.
Take care. Take it easy.

We'll work this out, okay?

Send you back to your room.
A little milk and cookies,

you'll be all right.

Just take it easy, okay?

(GRUNTlNG)

Come on, calm down !

Take him down !
Take him the fuck down !

(SCREAMlNG)

l'm not gonna hurt anyone.

Dr. Railly, help me please.

We're gonna give you something
to calm you, James.

No! No more drugs!

James, we have to do this.
You're very confused.

No drugs! Stop it!

(GRUNTlNG)

Kathryn, we've been working
together for four years.

l've never seen you like this.

So please stop
being so defensive.
This isn't an inquisition.

l didn't think
l was being defensive.

l was trying to
explain exactly what. . .

He should've been
in restraints.

lt was bad judgment on
your part, plain and simple.
Why not own up to it?

Okay, it was bad judgment.
But l have the strangest
feeling about him.

l've seen him someplace.
And l'm. . .

Two policemen are
already in the hospital.

Now we've got a security guard
with a skull fracture.

l said it was bad judgment!
What else do you
want me to say?

You see that? See what l mean?

You're being defensive.
lsn't she being defensive?

Dr. Fletcher?
What?

We have another situation.

He was fully restrained
and the door was locked?

Yes, sir. l did it myself.

And he was fully sedated?

He was fully sedated.

Then, are you trying to
tell me a fully sedated,
fully restrained patient

somehow slipped out that vent,
replaced the grill behind him

and is wriggling
his way through
the ventilation system?

(BEEPlNG NOlSE)

Watch it!

MAN WlTH RASPY VOlCE:
You sure fucked up!

Where are you?
You can talk!

What'd you do, Bobby boy,
volunteer?

My name's not Bob.
Not a prob, Bob.

Where'd they send you?

Where are you?
Another cell.

Maybe.

What do you mean "maybe"?
What's that supposed to mean?

Maybe means

maybe l'm in the next cell.

Another volunteer like you.

Or maybe
l'm in the Central Office

spying on ya for
all those science bozos.

Or hey, maybe
l'm not even here.

Maybe l'm just in your head.

No way to confirm anything.

(CACKLES)

Where did they send you?

1 990.
'90! How was it?

Good drugs? Lots of pussy?

Hey, Bob, you do the job?

Did you find out the big info?

Army of the Рўwelve Monkeys?

lt was supposed to be 1 996.

Science ain't an exact science
with these clowns.

But they're getting better.

You're lucky you didn't
end up in Ancient Egypt.

Shh.

Рўhey're comin'.

(KATHRYN'S VOlCE: DlSTORTED)
Рўhe Freedom for Animals

Рўhey are the ones

l can't do any more.
l have to go now.

Have a merry Christmas.

ASTROPHYSlClST: Well?
What?

Did you or did you not
record that message?

MlCROBlOLOGlST:
lt's a reconstruction of
a deteriorated recording.

BOTANlST: Weak signal.

We have to put them together
one word at a time.

ASTROPHYSlClST:
We just finished
rebuilding this.

Did you or did you not
make this call?

l couldn't make any call.

You sent me
to the wrong year.
lt was 1 990.

1 990?
1 990?

You're certain of that?

What did you do
with your time, Cole?

Did you waste it
on drugs? Women?

They forced me to take drugs.

Forced you? Why would someone
force you to take drugs?

l was in trouble.
l got arrested.

l. . .

l did what you wanted.
l got a specimen, a spider.

l didn't have anyplace
to put it, so l ate it.

But you sent me
to the wrong year,
so it really doesn't matter.

ZOOLOGlST: Did you see this
when you went back?

No, sir, l don't think so.

ASTROPHYSlClST:
What about these people?
Did you see any of these?

No.

Oh, wait, wait.

Him?

You saw that man?

Maybe in the. . . Maybe
in the mental institution.

KATHRYN: "ln a season of
great pestilence, there are
omens and divinations.

"And one of the four beasts
gave unto the seven angels

"seven golden vials
full of the wrath of God

"who liveth
for ever and ever."

Revelations.

ln the fourteenth century,
according to the accounts of
local officials of that time,

this man appeared suddenly
in the village of Wyle
near Stonehenge

in April of 1 362.

Using unfamiliar words
and speaking in
a strange accent,

the man made dire
prognostications
about a pestilence

which he said would
wipe out humanity
in approximately 600 years.

Obviously, this
plague-doomsday scenario
is more compelling

when reality supports it
with a virulent disease,

whether
it's the bubonic plague,
smallpox or AlDS.

Now we have
technological horrors,
such as chemical warfare,

which first reared
its ugly head

during the deadly mustard
gas attacks of World War l.

During such an attack
in the French trenches
in October of 1 91 7,

we have an account
of this soldier,

who, during an assault,
was wounded by shrapnel

and hospitalized,
apparently in
a state of hysteria.

Doctors found that he had lost
all comprehension of French,

but that he spoke
English fluently,

albeit in a regional dialect
they didn't recognize.

The man, though physically
unaffected by the gas,

was beside himself.

He claimed that he had
come from the future,

that he was looking
for a pure germ

that would ultimately
wipe mankind
off the face of the earth

starting in the year 1 996.

(AUDlENCE CHUCKLlNG)

Though injured,
the young soldier disappeared
from the hospital,

no doubt trying to
carry on his mission
to warn others,

and substituting
for the agony of war,

a self-inflicted agony,
we call
the "Cassandra Complex."

Cassandra in Greek legend
was condemned
to know the future,

but to be disbelieved
when she foretold it,

hence, the agony
of foreknowledge

combined with the impotence
to do anything about it.

(CHATTlNG, LAUGHlNG)

l'm going right out

KATHRYN: Hi.

l think, Dr. Railly,
you've given the alarmists
a bad name.

l have?

Surely there is very real
and very convincing data

that the planet cannot
survive the excesses
of the human race.

This is true.

Proliferation of
atomic devices,
uncontrolled breeding habits,

pollution of land,
sea and air, the rape
of the environment.

ln this context, isn't it
obvious that Chicken Little
represents the sane vision?

And that Homo sapiens' motto,
"Let's go shopping,"

is the cry of
the true lunatic?

Kathryn, it's time.
My name is Troy.

Please. Dr. Railly,
l wonder if you're aware
of my own studies.

Possibly alive,

You lucked out.

For a while, we thought
you were a body they found
down state, mutilated.

He wouldn't do that.
This the man he attacked?

l wanna be clear
about this, okay?

This man and the other one
were severely beating us.

James Cole didn't start it.
ln fact, he saved me.

(CHUCKLES)

Funny thing, Doctor.
Maybe you can help
explain it to me,

you being
a psychiatrist and all.

Why is it that kidnap victims

always try to tell us
about the guys
who grabbed 'em?

And they try to
make us understand

how kind these bastards
really were?

lt's a normal reaction
to a life-threatening
situation.

He's sick. Okay?

He thinks he comes
from the future.

He lives in a meticulously
constructed fantasy world,

and that world is
starting to disintegrate.
He needs help.

Okay.

REPORTER: Exhausted
but apparently unharmed
by her thirty-hour ordeal,

Dr. Railly returned to
Baltimore this morning without
making a public statement.

Рўhe author and psychiatrist
is currently in seclusion
at her home.

Meantime, police have
pieced together a scenario
of the series of events

that began with escaped
mental patient James Cole...

Sorry.

No, it's okay.
l'm just hyperalert.
l can't sleep.

Did you take your sedative?

l hate those things.
They mess my head up.

...where he went on
a rampage of violence.

With the kidnapping
of the Baltimore woman,

James Cole is now also
wanted in connection with

the brutal slaying
of Rodney Wiggins,
an ex-convict from Ardmore.

(SlREN WAlLlNG)
His body was discovered
in an abandoned theater

not far from where Cole left
three animal rights activists
bound and gagged

in their Second Avenue
headquarters.

Do they really believe
he's going to show up here?
Please.

And in Fresno, California,
the cornfield that was jammed
with spectators...

He's dead, isn't he,
that little boy?

He's fine. lt was just a prank
he and his friends pulled.

Рўhe dramatic attempt
to rescue Ricky Neuman
from an abandoned mineshaft

ended abruptly
when playmates confessed

that Neuman's disappearance
was merely a prank.

And that, in fact,
the missing child was hiding
in a nearby barn.

SClENTlSTS:
I found my thrill

On Blueberry Hill

When I found you

Congratulations, Cole!

Well done. Well done!
Congratulations.

BOTANlST:
During your interview,
while under the influence,

you told us that
you liked music.

This isn't a prison.
This is a hospital.

Until you recover
your equilibrium.

You're still disoriented.

lt is a stressful thing.
Time travel.

You stood up very well,
considering.

You connected the Army
of the Twelve Monkeys

with a famous virologist
and his son.

Others will take over now.

We'll be back
on service in months.

We'll retake the planet.

This is it, James.
What you've been working for.

A full pardon.

You'll be out of here
in no time.

Women will want to know you.

l don't want your women !
l want to get well !

And you will be well, James.

Soon.

(LAUGHlNG)

You know, you people
don't exist. You're not real.

We can't travel back in time.

Whoop! Whoop! Uh-uh.

You're not here.

You can't trick me.

(LAUGHlNG)

You're in my mind.

(LAUGHlNG)

(SlGHlNG)

l am insane.
And you are my insanity.

(LAUGHlNG)

He not only used
the word "prank," he said
the boy was hiding in a barn.

Kathryn, Kathryn.
He kidnapped you.

You saw him murder somebody,

and you knew there was
a real possibility that
he could kill you too.

You're under tremendous
emotional stress.

For God's sake, Owen,
listen to me.

He knew about the boy
in Fresno, and he says

five billion people
are gonna die.

No way he could
possibly know that!

Kathryn !

You're a rational person.
You're a trained psychiatrist.

You know the difference
between what's real
and what's not.

What we say is the truth,
is what everybody accepts.
Right?

Psychiatry,
it's the latest religion.

We decide what's right
and wrong. We decide
who's crazy or not.

l'm in trouble here.

l'm losing my faith.

MAN WlTH RASPY VOlCE:
You sure fucked up, Bob.

But l can understand.

You don't want your mistakes
pointed out to you.

l can relate to that, old Bob.

Hey, I know
what you're thinkin'.

You're thinkin' l don't exist
except in your head.

I see that point of view.

But you could still talk
to me, couldn't ya?

l saw you in 1 996
in the real world.

You pulled out your teeth.

Why would I pull out my teeth?
Рўhat's a no-no.

And when did you
say you saw me?

ln 1 872?

Leave me alone!

Yellin' won't get you
what you want.

You have to be smart
to get what you want.

And what do l want?

You don't know what you want?

Sure you do, Bob.

You know what you want.

You tell me.
You tell me what l want.

Рўo see the sky and the ocean.

Рўo be topside.

Breathe the air.

Рўo be with her.

Isn't that right?

Isn't that what you want?

Bob?

(MOANlNG)

(RlNGlNG)

Hello.

Dr. Railly, Jim Halperin,
Philly P. D. Sorry to call you
so early this mornin'.

You found him?

ls he okay?

No, no, au contraire, Doctor.

No sign of your good friend,
the kidnapper.

However, the plot
does thicken.

l've got a ballistics
report on my desk.

lt says the bullet
you claim you removed
from Mr. Cole's thigh

is, in fact, an antique.

HALPERlN: And all indications
are it was fired sometime
prior to the 1 920s.

How 'bout l take
a spin down there?

This can't be.

Maybe we can grab
a bite to eat.

Maybe you could revise
or amplify your statement.

Dr. Railly?

No!

You can't trick us, you know.
lt wouldn't work.

COLE: No, sir.

You haven't become addicted,
have you, Cole,
to that dying world?

No, sir.

l just want to do my part

to get us back on top,
in charge of the planet.

And l have the experience.
l know the people involved.

He really is
the most qualified.

But all of that behavior.

You said we weren't real,
Cole.

l don't think the human mind
is meant to exist

in two different,

whatever you called it,
dimensions?

lt's just too stressful.
You said that yourself.

lt's very confusing,
you don't know
what's real and what's not.

MlCROBlOLOGlST:
But you know what's real now.

Yes, sir. l do.

DR. GOlNES: No, no.
l don't know anything about

a monkey army, Doctor.

No, no. Nothing whatsoever.

Good Lord,
if my son was ever involved
in something like that. . .

(MlCE SQUEAKlNG)

Well, l'm sorry.
l think it is doubly
inappropriate to discuss

security matters
with you, Dr. Railly.

But if it will ease your mind,

rest assured that
neither my son

nor any other unauthorized
person has access

to potentially dangerous
organisms in my laboratory.

ls that clear to you now?
Thank you so much
for your concern.

(WHlSPERlNG)
Women psychiatrists!

l attended a lecture
of hers once.

"Apocalyptic Visions."

Yes. She was

suddenly struck by
the most preposterous notion

about Jeffrey.

Has she succumbed to her own

"theoretical"
Cassandra disease?

Maybe we ought to review
our security procedures.

Yeah. Perhaps upgrade 'em,
you know?

Beef them up?

BOTANlST: Let's consider again
our current information.

lf the symptoms were
first detected in Philadelphia

on December 27, 1 996,
that makes us know that. . .

lt was released in
Philadelphia probably
on December 1 3, 1 996.

And was seen
sequentially after that in. . .

San Francisco, New Orleans,

Rio de Janeiro,

Rome, Kinshasa,

Karachi, Bangkok, then Peking.

That was very well done, Cole.

KATHRYN: Hello!

ls somebody in there?
lf you're in there,
l have to talk to you.

lt's the kidnap woman.
Hello?

The one who was with the guy
who tied us up.

Turn off the lights.
Turn off the light!

What's she doin'?
She's drawing attention
to us, that's what.

l don't know
what you're up to
this time, Goines,

but you're going to
get us in deep shit.

Walkies ready,
batteries charged?

l saw you !
l saw somebody in there!
Come on.

Secret experiments.
That's what they do.

Secret weird stuff.

Not just on animals.
l know you.

They do 'em on
people too down at. . .

Have you seen James Cole?
The man who. . .

They're watching you.
Takin' pictures.

The police. l know. Look.

(GASPlNG)

l have to contact James.

lt's very, very important
that he's really careful
when he reaches me.

Do you understand that?

Yeah. Yeah.
Good.

Who's James?

He was with me.

He spoke to you
several weeks ago.

He said that you were
from the future and that
you were watching him.

Bolt cutters. Bolt cutters.
Did you get the bolt cutters?

One dozen.
They're in the van.

Got the plans
for the security system?

Right here.
Committed to memory.

Hey! Hey!
You know what she's
doing out there?

What's it say?
l don't know.
l can't see it.

Forget about my psychiatrist
and concentrate on
the task at hand.

Your psychiatrist?

Did you just say
your psychiatrist?

Ex-psychiatrist.

This woman was your
psychiatrist and now she's
spray-painting our building?

MAN: What's it say?

COLE: Kathryn !

James?

James.

What? What?

There's a policemen
over there.
Pretend you don't know me.

No. l want to turn myself in.
Where is he?

James!
Where is he?

Down ! Come on.

No, no. lt's okay.
l'm not crazy anymore.

l mean, l am.
l'm mentally divergent.

l know that now.
l want you to help me.

l want to get better.

James!

Let's get outta here!

He's goin'. He's goin'.

(HORN HONKlNG)

(TlRES SCREECHlNG)

(HORN HONKlNG)

l've see that before.
No, James, you haven't.

A guy in a Ford is
chasing her and some
other guy l can't see.

No problem. lt's probably
just another kidnapping

featuring Jeffrey's shrink.
Pardon me.
Make that ex-shrink.

This is your leader?

A certifiable lunatic
who told his
former psychiatrist

all his plans for
God knows what whacko
irresponsible schemes?

God knows what she's written
on that wall.

Who cares what psychiatrists
write on walls?

You think l told her
about the Army of
the Twelve Monkeys, huh?

lmpossible!

Do you know why?
Do you know why?

Because,
you pathetically ineffectual

and pusillanimous
pretend friend to animals,
l'll tell you why.

When l had anything
to do with her
six years ago,

there was no such thing,
l hadn't thought of it yet.

Then how come she knows
what's goin' on?

Here's my theory on that.

When l was institutionalized,

my brain was studied
exhaustively in the guise
of mental health.

l was interrogated, x-rayed.
l was examined thoroughly.

(COUGHS)

They took everything about me
and put it into a computer

where they created this model
of my mind. Yes!

Using that model,
they managed to generate

every thought l could possibly
have in the next ten years,

which they then filtered
through a probability matrix
of some kind

to determine everything
l was gonna do in that period.

So you see, she knew
l was gonna lead

the Army of the Twelve Monkeys
into history

before it even occurred to me.

She knows everything
l'm ever gonna do
before l know it myself.

How's that?

Kweskin, you finish here.
l'll meet you there.

And if you forget one thing,
l will have you shaved,
sterilized and destroyed.

KWESKlN: Jeff?
What?

You are a great man.

Fuck the bozos!

(CHUCKLES)

He's seriously crazy.

You know that.

(lNDlSTlNCT RADlO CHATTER)

Tommy, this is Charlie

(CHUCKLES)

You know if Wallace
has a new girl?

Sort of a rookie type?
A little weird?

Does fantasy acts?

Okay, you were standing there
looking up at the moon.

You were splashing
through the water,
and then what?

l thought l was in
prison again.

Just like that,
you were in prison?

No, not really.

Like you said.
lt was all in my mind.

(STAMMERlNG)

You disappeared.

One minute you were there,
the next minute you were gone.

Did you run through
the woods, or. . .

l don't know.

l don't remember.

The boy in the well.
How did you know
that was just a hoax?

lt was?

l didn't know.

You said he was
hiding in the barn !

l think l maybe saw
a TV show about that
when l was a kid,

where a boy. . .
lt wasn't a TV show!
lt was real !

Maybe this boy saw
the same TV show that l did,
and he copied it.

Look, you were right.
l am mentally ill.

l imagined all these things,
these people.

l know they're not real.
l can trick them. l. . .

l can make them do
what l want.

l worked on 'em a little bit.
l got back here to get better.

l can stay here.

What does this mean to you?

l think l had a dream like. . .

About this.

(STAMMERlNG)

You had a bullet from
World War l in your leg,
James. How did it get there?

l don't know.
Look, you said
l had delusions.

That l created this world.
You said you could explain. . .

l can't!

l'm trying to, and. . .

l can't believe
everything we say or do
has already happened.

We can't change
what's going to happen.

And if five billion people
are going to die, it's. . .

l want the future
to be unknown.

l want to become
a whole person again.

l want this to be the present.

l want to stay here,
this time

with you.

James,

do you remember six years ago
you had a phone number?

lt was the wrong number then.
A woman answered.

lt was the wrong number
in 1 990.

lt should be
the right number now.

Do you remember it?

The number? Do you. . .

(BANGlNG)

This is my territory, bitch !

ls this real, or is it
one of my delusions?
This is definitely real.

KATHRYN: Excuse me.
l think we've got a little
misunderstanding here.

Oh?

Yeah. We. . .

Gee, really?

Now, you just sit tight!

Now you listen to me,
little Miss Understanding.

You think you can go
around me and peddle your ass
in this part of town?

You bet your life we got
what l would call a major
fuckin' misunderstanding.

Hey!

James, no! Don't!

Put him in the closet.
Take his money first!

You want me to rob him?

We need cash, James!
WALLACE: No, no!

Thirty years ago.
They just put it together.

"Hey, this is Cole, James.

you're there or not.

"Maybe you just
clean carpets."
Where'd you get that from?

"Forget about the Army of
the Twelve Monkeys."

Man, if only they could've got
your message earlier.

Take it. You could still
be a hero if you cooperate!

Come on, James. lt's okay.
