Original subtitles

CASSIE: Previously on 12 Monkeys...

You sore about us?

I trained her to survive.

Dr. Eckland, you were not part of my original reality.

Well, that's gonna make it awkward when you come to bed.

You like that I wasn't intimidated by you.

KYLE: The Witness is a Traveler.

He's got abilities, technology beyond yours.

CASSIE: We're going on another trip to see the Witness?

OLIVIA: You're walking through a Red Forest.

CASSIE: You're the Witness.

Perhaps this is the face you prefer?

(GASPS)

GUARD: Open the gate!

Hey, what's with the dogs?

Uh, they're tripling everything up.

They're testing that new experimental equipment.

What's it supposed to do?

It's a blender. How the hell am I supposed to know?

(CHUCKLES) I've got the same clearance as you, asshole.

(CHUCKLES) All right, you all gonna love this. Jacks.

Read them and weep, you schmucks.

Queens. Shit.

You know, you keep this up,

I'm gonna own that brand new Chevy you keep bragging about.

Whatever, man, you...

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

(LOUD EXPLOSION)

What the hell was that?

(DOGS BARKING)

Why's there no alarm?

What happened to the generator?

(JAZZ SONG PLAYING)

(SOFT RUMBLING)

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

(EXHALES)

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

(SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)

Only the Germans would invent a card game

where the rules change halfway through.

Where I come from, we just call it cheating.

That's because you're losing.

So, I'm a loser?

Yes. (CHUCKLING)

You're a loser.

You say the sweetest things.

Not on purpose. I'd hate to give you the wrong idea.

Oh, that must happen to you a lot.

People mistaking your overwhelming warmth

and affection for romantic intent.

Explains the way Dr. Adler looks at you.

What? (LAUGHS)

Dr. Adler?

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Do you think you would have married again?

If the world hadn't gone to shit?

I prefer to correct my mistakes, not repeat them.

Hey, where's the fun in that?

Where would we be if we were scared away by a little failure?

Not in my bed, that's for certain.

(MACHINE BEEPING)

The machine's powering up. Who's coming through?

Dr. Railly.

(CASSIE SCREAMS)

(GASPS)

Dr. Railly.

Dr. Railly, can you hear me?

Dr. Railly.

Damn.

Cassie.

Cassie, you all right?

Cassie.

I saw him.

You saw who?

SAM: It took me forever, but it's the entire facility.

Dr. Eckland found me the blueprints.

See? They put the Time Machine and the Core at opposite ends,

so if one explodes it won't destroy the other.

And check this out. When the army built this place in the 1950s,

they put this part over the underground river.

We use it to cool the Core conduits.

You built this whole thing yourself?

That is impressive.

I got you some guys.

Where do you want to put them?

The Splinter Chamber.

"Initiate Splinter Sequence."

(CHUCKLES) You sound exactly like her.

(SAM IMITATING WHOOSING SOUND)

Where'd he go?

Nobody knows.

(LAUGHS)

Cassie's back.

You should hear this.

I'll be back.

CASSIE: It was the Witness.

I'm sure of it.

KATARINA: How do you know for sure?

I could feel it.

DEACON: Hold up. The Witness?

DR. ECKLAND: He appeared in the form of Aaron Marker, your ex.

So are you sure you didn't just imagine...

It wasn't a hallucination. He chose to appear as Aaron,

and no, I'm not crazy.

It happened.

Does this sound even remotely possible?

Yeah, there was some pretty trippy shit

going on with that tea.

They would, uh, drink it and they would see him in their heads.

I never tried it.

Wasn't what I was there for.

If it's the same hallucinogenic Miss Goines consumes,

it is possible.

Could be a method of communication.

Its properties allow your consciousness to drift outside time.

Mental time travel.

Sign me up.

I told you, it wasn't a hallucination. It was real.

He touched my hands.

I could feel it. He was there and then he...

He splintered.

He splintered?

The Witness has always been one step ahead of us.

It's possible he can move through time.

RAMSE: He doesn't have a time machine.

If he did, he wouldn't need Elliot Jones to build him that one.

He could have easily just sent the Messengers back in time himself.

But time is broken.

Causality is in flux.

It's possible that what I've always feared is true.

His capabilities are equal to our own.

We've made progress against him.

We stopped the paradox in '75, slowed the red anomalies outside.

KATARINA: Temporarily.

JAMES: Yeah, but I bet it pissed him off, though.

We should be ready for a counter move.

Agreed.

KATARINA: Dr. Railly?

(CLEARS THROAT)

To what purpose do you believe the Witness contacted you?

I think...

I think

that he... All right,

I think the good doctor here could probably use some rest?

(KATARINA SIGHS)

OLIVIA: The blood has washed away.

Go to him.

In the memory of tomorrow. (ECHOING)

Hello?

(MACHINE CLICKING)

Hey, what are you doing?

(CASSIE SCREAMS)

Thought you were getting some rest.

So did I.

Yeah, it's always, uh, tough to sleep after a splinter.

Kind of messes with your clock.

That's a joke.

(CHUCKLES)

You ever see weird things when you splinter?

Yeah, all the time.

Colors, lights, memories.

You ever see a person?

Person? No.

Who did you see?

Listen, this, uh, thing with you and Deacon?

I get it.

What?

I know you guys went through a lot when you first came here,

and I don't have to like the guy to see that he cares about you.

I just want you to know, it doesn't bother me.

I didn't think it did.

Right, I don't even know why I said that.

It's okay.

I guess we don't really know each other like we used to.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

I want to check the time-stream data.

For when Dr. Railly was in the hotel in 2016.

(GRUNTS)

Do you believe what she says?

Look for bursts of radiation.

Splinter signatures.

Anything that might indicate that there was another time traveler

in that room with her.

OLIVIA: The blood has washed away.

Go to him.

The memory of tomorrow.

(SQUEAKING)

ADLER: We found something. What is it?

Some sort of pentaquark signature.

Another tether?

Anchored where? Here.

To this facility. Now. Impossible.

Recalibrate the machine and run a test sequence.

(MACHINE POWERING UP)

This phantom tether is still here.

It's almost as if...

As if what, Dr. Adler?

(RUMBLING)

Shut it down!

I can't.

What do you mean?

It's overloading.

Too much power.

Why?

The machine is overloading splinter radiation.

Disengage from the Core!

I can't. Not responding.

Power down, now!

All emergency protocols!

They've been disabled!

ADLER: There is no way to stop...

(EXPLOSION) KATARINA: on!

(PANTING)

Sam!

(GROWLING)

(EMERGENCY ALARM BLARING)

Jones, what's happening?

Get back. The machine is overloading.

Someone pull the lens array.

I'm on it!

KATARINA: Evacuate the chamber.

Come on. Go, go.

KATARINA: The machine is unstable.

Shut off that damn alarm!

Hey, you okay?

I need you to follow me close, okay? Come on.

KATARINA: This was no accident.

The failsafes were disabled.

This was deliberate.

The lens array is totally fried.

Someone put it in backwards.

Instead of focusing the temporal stream, it dispersed it.

Without the lens array to focus the accelerator beam,

the machine is going to continue to bleed splinter radiation

throughout the facility.

The machine is locked into random sequences.

The mainframe Core is frozen. I can't access it from here.

MARSHALL: Doctor.

(MARSHALL GRUNTS)

Jones.

Doctor.

You did this to me.

(MARSHALL GROANING)

The machine, you... You put me in that!

(GRUNTING)

(coughs)

(GUNSHOT) (GRUNTS)

(BODY THUDS)

What the hell is that thing?

An early volunteer. He called himself Marshall.

Volunteer?

A scavenger we put in the machine. A test subject before you.

That was five years ago.

The machine did that to him?

Before we perfected our tether.

He was lost in the time-stream.

How is he here?

This explosion of temporal energy from the machine

must have splintered him here.

Well, if that's the case,

what else from the time-stream might be in here with us?

Hold on.

What is that?

RAMSE: I don't know.

If I say run,

you be ready.

It was sabotage.

Someone with intimate knowledge of how our machine works

is trying to create a temporal meltdown.

JAMES: Meltdown? Why?

It would destroy the facility

and create a chain reaction which would be catastrophic

to the time-stream.

The Witness.

That's what he told me he wanted to do. To destroy time itself.

This is his counterstrike.

The Witness is here.

I thought it was in my head, but it...

What did you see?

In the corridor, I saw a man in a kind of plague doctor mask.

It was him. I know it.

That could explain the phantom tether that Dr. Adler discovered.

All right.

First things first, we need to stop the meltdown.

I'm gonna go shut down the Core manually.

I'm going with you. DEACON: Hey, hey, hey.

Maybe you should stay here. It's safer.

I'll be fine.

We can replace the lens array. Our old one is in the east warehouse.

The one that burned out our first Core?

But that's all we've got right now. I'll go with Mr. Deacon.

That's not happening. I'll go.

Dr. Eckland, your chivalry is...

Chivalry, my ass, Kat.

If anything happens to you, we're all screwed.

I'm a pacifist.

You're shitting me.

How do you know it was the Witness?

Because I've seen him before.

After the Night Room,

when they were holding me captive, they had me drink that red tea,

and he was there.

Cass, that stuff's dangerous. What else haven't you told me?

When I saw the Witness in the hotel room...

Yeah, when he looked like Aaron.

And then he changed his appearance to you.

To me, why?

He was trying to get through to me.

Talking about how they could stop death if they destroyed time.

And he thought your face would have more of an impact on me.

(SOFT GROWLING)

You hear that?

(GROWLS)

Cass.

Cassie?

(GASPING)

Sorry.

(GUNSHOT)

(PANTING)

This way.

You can't get through that way.

We can. I know the way.

You sure?

Dad.

Lead the way.

Stop.

Shh. Go. Go.

(BARKING, SNARLING)

Dad!

Dad!

Please, somebody help! Dad, get him off!

Stop! Please! Dad!

Dad! Please! (RAMSE GRUNTING)

Get him off! Stop!

Dad!

(GUNSHOTS)

(WHIMPERING)

Sam, you okay?

Sam!

Sam!

Sam!

Ramse, you all right?

Sam's gone. I lost him. (PANTS)

Goddamn dog attacked me.

Come on.

I lost Cassie, too.

All kinds of shit roaming the hallways.

Where'd they all come from? I don't know.

The time-stream must have pulled them in.

What are you talking about?

The machine's melting down. We got to make it to the Core, kill the power.

Oh, I got to go find Sam.

Yeah, we're gonna find him.

We don't kill the power, this whole place goes up.

Him with it.

Cassie.

Deacon, anybody. Over.

(RADIO STATIC)

All right, it's useless.

All that temporal bullshit. It's cutting off the signal.

Come on.

(RADIO STATIC)

(GRUNTS)

We gotta hurry.

We still have to haul ass back to the machine.

Uh-uh. Well, then, help me look.

I'm on watch. You are Jones's errand boy.

Don't knock it. The job has good benefits.

No details.

Oh...

Beautiful.

Oh.

So, that piece of shit is gonna stop this freak show?

(SOFT GROWLING)

Let's go.

SOLDIER 1: Stop right there!

Hey, it's Deacon. Who's there?

SOLDIER 1: How did you get in here? This is a restricted facility.

Army personnel only.

Army. What?

Hey, friend, urn, gonna sound like a weird question.

What year do you think it is?

SOLDIER 12 It's 1959, shithead.

So, uh, fellow,

we've had a little bit of a time-travel snafu here,

and brace yourself,

you're in the future.

2044 to be exact.

So if you want to drop your weapon,

we can catch up on the last... 85.

85 years. (GUNFIRE)

(GUNFIRE)

Take it.

Take it.

(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)

Die as a pacifist or live as a man.

Violence doesn't make a man.

No, but it's a good way to unmake one.

Point and pull and watch for the kick.

Don't worry, I'll tell all your hippie friends

that you fought them off with flowers and rainbows.

Cover me, now!

Come on!

Okay.

Ow! (GROANS)

DEACON: Grenade!

Jesus Christ. (GRUNTS)

(DR. ECKLAND GROANS)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Nice throw, Gramps. Gramps?

I'll kick your goddamn ass. (LAUGHS)

Oh, dear God.

This place was an army base for 60 years.

The machine must have splintered them from the past.

They don't seem fully present, so if we're lucky,

replacing the array and stopping the dispersement

might return them to their time.

I'm adjusting it to fit the energy conduits.

Just a few minutes. It'll be ready.

DEACON: It's getting worse out there.

Just shut down the machine,

and whatever stowaways are brought through,

we take out one by one.

It is not that simple, Mr. Deacon.

The machine is in perpetual Splinter Sequence.

Now that we have the array, we can stop the machine

from dispersing more temporal energy.

If we cannot shut down the Core,

that machine is going to turn this entire place into a crater a mile wide.

Crater, I understand.

Listen, Mr. Deacon,

you have to see that they shut it down.

There is no telling what they may have already encountered out there.

(SIGHS HEAVILY) Okay.

The rest of you get to the barracks.

You, too, Dr. Adler.

I'm almost there.

Please.

Sam!

SAM; Dad!

Dad!

(CLOCK BELL TOLLING)

(GUNSHOT)

JAMES: Cassie!

Open the door.

RAMSE: Sam, you okay?

Dad!

She's trying to stop us from shutting down the Core.

What the hell is wrong with her?

I don't know. I don't know.

Jones said something about another tether coming into the facility.

Another time-traveler.

Where?

I think we're looking at him.

(GRUNTING)

SAM: Dad. Sam'?.

Dad!

She's got a gun on my son.

It's not her! Someone else is in control.

It's that other tether. There's someone else in her head.

Damn it. (PANTING)

Sam? Sam, can you hear me?

Everything's gonna be fine.

I'm gonna get you out of there, you hear me?

JAMES: Cassie, listen to me.

You need to open this door.

That thing melts down, this whole place is gonna go up.

Please.

What are you doing?

Hey-

He's trying to tell us something.

(PANTING)

What're you saying?

It's under the floor.

You're right.

The river. Good boy.

Cole, there's a river beneath us.

That's how we get in.

(EMERGENCY ALARM BEEPING)

What happened? No.

The Hydronic chamber has blown open.

What does that mean?

There's no way anyone can replace the array.

Not without being exposed to temporal radiation.

(GRUNTS)

Shit.

What do you see?

Straight down.

50, 60 feet to the river. Still gotta figure another way back up.

Has to be me.

That's my son.

I got a better chance of getting through to her, you know that.

You stay here with him where he can see you. Keep him calm.

Trust me.

All right.

DR. ECKLAND: The Core is still active.

Clearly, whatever splintered here

is stopping Cole from shutting it down.

We have to replace the array, regardless. There's no choice, Kat.

(RADIO STATIC)

The radio. Is that them?

James?

James, is that you?

(DOOR OPENING) (ALARM BLARING)

David!

David!

David!

David, what are you doing?

Idiot.

David, this will kill you!

But it might save you.

RAMSE: Talk to me, Cole!

JAMES: I'm getting close.

Jesus.

(RIVER RUSHING)

(WIND HOWLING)

(ECHOING) I'm gonna have to cross.

Roger that.

Ramse, what the hell are you doing?

Cole's down there.

Cassie?

Where are you?

RAMSE: Hang in there, buddy. We're coming.

Let me out!

(SCREAMING)

Get your hands up.

Up now. DEACON: Hold on.

Easy.

What'd you do to this place?

What'd you do to us?

We got a man down there, you understand me?

Well, pull him up now!

(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMS) Whoa, whoa!

What are you doing?

David! Get back here!

Please.

It's not so bad. I dig it, actually.

Going out in a wild, romantic gesture to a beautiful woman

all in the name of love.

I don't love you.

You did once.

And that can't be erased.

(SCREAMS)

(MACHINE POWERING DOWN)

Cole!

RAMSE: Cole, are you okay?

What the hell's going on up there?

No.

SAM: Dad! Where are you?

RAMSE: Sam, it's okay.

Hi, Sam.

Just sit tight. She's not gonna hurt you.

Are you, Cass?

(WHIMPERS)

Why don't you put that gun down?

So, whatever it is they did to you,

that's what's causing this.

If you can hear me in there, you need to fight.

Let him go and let me shut down the Core.

If you don't, everybody dies.

Come on, Cass.

I know you're in there.

You need to fight, Cassie. You're strong. You can beat this.

Come on, Cassie. I know you're in there.

What are you doing?

DEACON: Backup plan.

You got to get in there and do what needs to be done.

'Cause Cole does not have it in him to stop her.

And neither do I.

(SOFT GROWLING)

Who are you?

(IN DISTORTED VOICE) The forest is red.

The grass is tall.

I'm talking to the Witness, aren't I?

(GROWLS)

It's nice to finally meet you.

So why don't you tell me, asshole,

exactly what is it that you've witnessed?

The end.

The beginning.

RAMSE: Let him go. Dad.

I don't want to have to kill you.

Ramse, don't.

You hurt him, you're dead.

Running out of time.

Cassie.

Look at me.

Come on.

Look at me, Cassie!

Remember when you said we didn't really know each other anymore?

You were wrong about that.

The truth is, I don't think anybody's ever known me like you.

And I know you.

I know you.

And I know

you would never let me die.

Ramse, shoot me.

Shoot me!

Come on, shoot me!

Do it, now!

(GUNSHOT)

Cole?

Cole!

(JAMES GROANING) (CASSIE PANTING)

RAMSE: Hey, you okay?

(EMERGENCY ALARM BLARING) Ramse, the Core!

(POWERING DOWN)

(EXHALES)

We did it, buddy.

(ALARM BLARING)

James, get out of the Core Room now!

There's going to be a feedback of splinter radiation.

Ah!

(SAM'S SCREAM ECHOING)

Sam.

Sam.

Sam.

Ramse. (GRUNTS)

Is he dead?

I don't know.

Could he survive?

Unlikely.

But maybe...

You were lost in time once,

and you found your way home.

He was just a boy.

He was my boy.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

How's James?

He has no major internal injuries.

With his ability to heal, he should be fine.

(SIGHS)

Katarina, what happened to me?

The tether we detected

was not connected to another time-traveler physically

but, instead, to a consciousness.

It was a signal from somewhere in time.

And your mind

was the receiver.

This is what The Witness did to you. He used you against us.

He took control of you to sabotage the machine.

(BREATHING SHAKILY)

I've prepared a series of injections

that will purge whatever the Twelve Monkeys left in your blood.

He won't be able to do this to you again.

How can you be sure?

This is my fault.

Cole.

Eckland.

Sam.

No.

It's mine.

And for this, there's a solution.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

(THUNDER RUMBLING)
