Original subtitles

KATARINA: Previously on 12 Monkeys...

SAM". Dad. Sam'?

What happened to me? The Witness took control of you.

I don't love you.

You did once.

And that can't be erased.

Cassie, you would never let me die.

Ramse, shoot me. (GUNSHOT)

(SCREAMING)

RAMSE: Is he dead? I don't know.

He was my boy.

FOSTER: You're still holding onto the memory of her.

Holding onto her dead little hand.

(KATARINA HUMMING LULLABY)

(SINGING) Guten a bend

Gute nacht...

(MONITOR FLATLINING)

CASSIE: Jones.

I'm sorry.

KATARINA: What are one's last words if they will never be?

I leave now,

not with my own, but those words that will exist beyond me.

"To be, or not to be. That is the question.

"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

"the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

"or to take arms against a sea of trouble and by opposing, end them.

"To die, to sleep, no more.

"And by sleep to say we end the heartache,

"and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.

"To die, to sleep, perchance to dream.

"But that the dread of something after death,

"the undiscovered country from whose bourn

"no traveler returns.

"No traveler returns.

"In thy orisons, be all my sins remembered or erased."

BEACON'. Cole.

Cole.

Jesus!

(EXHALES) Deacon, what?

It's Cassie.

What the hell's going on?

Nothing.

A glitch in the system caused by the damage to the Core.

Cassie.

Tell him.

What is this?

The tether, it disengaged itself

from the system and then reappeared.

Some kind of glitch.

It's entirely unnecessary to maintain her tether.

All that matters is that she arrived.

Hey!

Tell him what you did.

Clearly, Dr. Railly hasn't done anything yet.

There's still time to bring her back.

Where did Cassie go?

2020.

2020?

That's after the plague. Why would she go there?

Because there was another plague.

One that ravaged time itself.

A plague whose origins can be traced back to one single moment.

No cult.

No investigation needed.

The true catalyst for the destruction of mankind

is standing before your eyes.

I've sent Cassie back to Spearhead in 2020,

with the explicit instruction to end my life

and so destroy the creation of time travel.

And undo everything.

Jones, this isn't the way.

The answer, Mr. Cole, has been in front of us the entire time.

We were on a quest to stop The Messengers from collapsing time,

but it was this...

It was this that allowed them to do it.

We fear The Witness,

yet my attempt to rewrite history

resulted in the destruction of time itself.

You don't get to decide it's over

just because you've given up hope.

We've exhausted hope, James.

No, Cole, we have to stop this.

(SNAPS FINGERS)

Lasky, when exactly did you send her back to?

KATARINA: I sent Cassie back to the day I should have died.

The day I lost my Hannah.

This will predate our mission together.

Everything will be erased.

I'm sorry, James,

but there's nothing you can do.

Start it up.

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

(CASSIE BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GUNSHOT)

COMMANDER: Fire.

Ready.

Aim. (GUNSHOT)

Present arms.

(PLAYING SOMBER TUNE)

(EXHALES)

GUARD 1: Open the gate.

GUARD 2: Stand down! GUARD 3: Hands up!

Who are you? My name's Dr. Cassandra Railly.

I'm with the CDC.

CDC is dead.

I'm not.

Send a message to your commander. He'll know who I am.

All clear. No pathogens.

Dr. Cassandra Railly of the CDC. Where's your identification?

I lost it.

I hit a few rough patches on my way up from Baltimore.

(BEEPING) Baltimore?

On foot?

Tell me, Ms. Railly, how'd you avoid the West 7 Quarantine Zone?

I went around it.

Nobody goes around the West 7 Quarantine Zone.

Been tested for immunity to the Kalavirus?

Yes.

Prints match. It's her.

CASSIE: Who are those people?

STAVROS: We call them scavs.

Roaming survivors.

There's limits to the amount of civilians we could take in.

This way, please.

Lieutenant.

I have to say, it'll be a big morale boost

for our teams to actually meet you, Dr. Railly.

The containment protocols you pioneered have been very helpful.

Along with a few of our own.

See, 75% of our population has been diagnosed at risk of infection.

And I intend to keep those numbers safe and sound.

Which is why I'm very curious about what happened at the CDC.

See, the last we heard, after the broadcasts stopped,

rioters had taken over the building.

So, naturally, we assumed the worst.

I escaped with a few others. I'm the only one who made it this far.

I apologize for the third degree.

It's just, we've had some trouble lately.

Some of our men encountered a very organized pack of marauders.

Nomads, all women.

We think they're responsible for bringing in this recent outbreak.

Yeah. Outbreak?

Another dozen infected.

We lost two officers this morning.

But the rest are isolated, so we have it under control.

Lieutenant, I have a colleague I believe is here.

I'd like to speak with her.

Katarina Jones.

I'm sorry, Dr. Railly.

I'm afraid your timing couldn't be any worse.

(MONITOR BEEPING)

Virologists are a vanishing and highly valuable commodity.

Hence, some of the measures we've had to implement...

What measures? (ERRATIC BEEPING)

FOSTER". Measures necessary for the security of our medical personnel.

CASSIE: You've stopped treating the sick?

FOSTER: These aren't all my decisions.

But we've lost some great minds

while trying to save the lives of those who never stood a chance.

Excuse me, Lieutenant.

Jones' daughter has passed.

FOSTER: Excuse me.

Glad you're here, Dr. Railly.

She'll need a friend later.

(KATARINA HUMMING)

Katarina.

(KATARINA SINGING) Guten a bend

FOSTER: She's gone.

(SINGING) gute nacht...

It's time.

Jones.

I'm sorry.

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

(PANTING)

Cassie.

What are you doing? You can't kill Jones.

You're too late. I already did.

What do you mean, you killed her? (GUNSHOT)

(GUNSHOT)

Fire! (GUNSHOT)

Present arms!

(BUGLE PLAYING)

JAMES: What do you mean, you killed Jones? That's impossible.

They sent me back to the same moment they sent you.

Right now!

No, I've already...

Why didn't anything change?

Because you haven't done anything yet, and you're not going to.

No, I did.

I'll prove it to you.

Hey!

GUARD 1: Open the gate!

Hey, stop there!

GUARD 2: Arms up.

It's me. Who are you?

Dr. Cassandra Railly with the CDC.

CDC is dead.

And who are you?

Look, I'm telling you, you didn't kill Jones.

If you did, we'd be erased. You wouldn't remember me.

Cole, I shot her. Point blank.

No, you didn't. I got here the same time as you. It's not too late.

It is.

Why did you agree to this?

Sam.

Dr. Eckland.

It was my fault just as much as Jones'.

We've made things worse, Cole. We need to stop ourselves.

What about the plague?

Maybe the plague was always going to happen.

Maybe we can't do anything to...

MAN: All clear. No pathogens.

Dr. Cassandra Railly of the CDC.

Where's your identification?

We went through all this before. (BEEPING)

I came up through Baltimore.

Baltimore? On foot? Tell me, Ms. Railly...

How did I avoid the West 7 Quarantine Zone?

JAMES: Zone. (CHUCKLES)

That's right, it's 2020, Deacon hasn't turned it to shit yet.

And who are you?

Morris. Morrison.

Look, we went through all this yesterday.

You spoke to somebody else yesterday. Not me.

Have you been tested for immunity to the Kalavirus?

Prints match. It's her.

His came back inconclusive.

They got a match, but to an 11-year-old boy in Philly named James Cole.

CASSIE: What is this? Step inside, please.

No.

No, we just wanna speak with Katarina Jones.

Jones is with her daughter. Her daughter's sick. Kalavirus.

Jones is alive. I told you.

(LAUGHS) Oh, my God. You guys!

Jennifer? (CHUCKLING)

How are you here?

Uh, how are you here?

Oh, wait. I gotta figure out which version of you two this is.

Okay. Night Room, Toto...

What comes to mind when I say, "the hyenas"?

(IMITATES EXPLOSION)

Nothing. (GRUNTS)

Hasn't happened for you yet.

So, welcome to 2020.

That number usually represents perfect vision,

but it looks like you two aren't seeing too clearly.

Heard you were a busy girl.

Voices say you blew poor old Jonesy away, and then they say you didn't.

You know I was here before?

Feels like a déjâ vu, right?

A repeat?

Welcome to my world.

Wait a minute. What is happening here?

Well, I'm in a reboot.

What's a reboot?

Same day, different shit.

The day reset itself?

I hear gunshots and screams, "The German lady's dead."

Then, you all over again.

That's not how time travel works.

Oh, look who's an expert now.

JAMES: Yeah, but wait, before we forced Jones to send me here,

she said there was a problem with your tether.

You're saying the moment she shot Jones, time reset itself?

You two, come with me.

Gotta go. (DOOR BUZZES)

JENNIFER: Yeah.

(GRUNTS) I'll be here.

See you soon.

They're like my best friends.

I have to say, it would have been a big morale booster

for our teams to have met you.

Had you actually been Dr. Cassandra Railly.

You do look like her.

It was his false ID that tipped us off.

We dug a little deeper.

Turns out Dr. Railly was confirmed dead

at the CDC by our own personnel.

So you can't be her.

I am Cassandra Railly.

Are you aware that entering a military base under false pretenses

is currently punishable by death?

Now, tell me who you are.

(GRUNTING)

(GUNSHOTS)

(GUNSHOT) Ah!

(CASSIE GASPING)

Cole.

Cassie.

(GUNSHOT) Ah!

(GASPS)

James.

(EXHALES)

Sorry, Jones.

(GUNSHOT)

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

(GASPS)

I'm not shot anymore.

(GROANS)

You saved me.

Well, don't get too excited. The last time I felt like this, it was killing me.

We need to get out of this loop. (SIGHS)

(GUNSHOT)

(BUGLE PLAYING) CASSIE: We need to split up this time.

Why?

Because the first time, it was easy.

Having you with me messes that up.

That's not happening.

It's why I'm here.

Look, I shot her to save you. lt just jumped us back here.

We need to figure out why this is happening.

Then figure it out.

My mission is the same.

GUARD: Stop right there! Who are you?

I have to say, it'll be a big morale boost

for our teams to actually meet you, Dr. Railly.

The containment protocols you pioneered have been very helpful.

Along with a few of our own.

See...

(DOOR BUZZES)

Round three.

Sorry, sir, we thought she was with you.

And I think she has my gun.

CASSIE: I'll cover. Why don't you take a break?

GUARD: Jesus, I'm dying here.

Mom?

(BEEPING)

Your daughter. Hannah.

How is she?

She's just ill. She'll be better.

She's immune.

(MOANS) KATARINA: Like her mother.

Listen to me, you need to summon

your Primary powers or whatever.

How do we break this loop?

Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again

and expecting different results.

Oh. Maybe time won't let you kill Jones. Hmm?

Maybe time likes time travel.

KATARINA: What are you doing here?

I thought Foster's orders were clear.

(PANTING)

FOSTER: Katarina. Sorry to disturb you, but have you seen...

See you soon.

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

(SPITS)

(CASSIE GROANS)

You need to stop trying to kill Jones. You're gonna kill us.

I need to get back inside alone again.

Hey!

I have to say, it'll be a big morale boost

for our teams to actually meet you, Dr. Railly.

The containment protocols you pioneered...

Excuse me, Lieutenant Foster.

Forgive me, but I was hoping I could see

some of your recent data on the virus.

JENNIFER: Okay, campers, rise and shine,

and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cold out there.

It's cold out there every day.

What is this, Miami? Get it?

No?

What is this?

(PANTS) Dr. Railly?

Listen, I don't have a lot of time to explain.

What are you doing here?

You sent me back...

Look, if you want to save Hannah, I need your help.

Save her how?

I looked at her chart.

Her temperature has been fluctuating, 107 to 105.

KATARINA: Yes, but she's...

I went through Foster's data. The Kalavirus' key symptom

is an uninterrupted increase in body temperature.

Nothing, not even medicine, can stop the increase or suspend it

We need to figure out why she's the exception.

What's her temperature?

It's 107.

If it gets any higher, she'll be at risk for brain damage.

(HANNAH MOANS)

(GROANS)

Sensitivity to light.

What are you getting?

An antibiotic.

KATARINA: This is viral. Antibiotics...

Light sensitivity is a symptom of other infections.

Haemophilus influenzae, for example, causes bacterial meningitis.

Bacterial? Not the virus? Mmm-mmm.

We need to get this fever down.

Here.

What's her temperature now? 105.

It wasn't a false positive.

She is immune.

What?

Dr. Railly, are you okay?

JENNIFER: Blondie is just gonna have to learn,

time likes Jones just the way she is.

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

(RETCHES, COUGHS)

(GASPING)

(DISTANT GUNSHOT)

(DISTANT GUNSHOT)

What happened? (GASPS)

Nothing. (DISTANT GUNSHOT)

Doesn't matter. (EXHALES)

Hannah's immune.

She doesn't have the virus. (DISTANT BUGLE MUSIC)

Possibly a form of meningitis.

(SIGHS) She dies because of Foster's no-treatment protocol.

You saved her?

That was yesterday's today.

She'll die again today.

Jennifer said something about time not letting us kill Jones,

or change her.

Maybe that includes saving Hannah.

We need to ride the day out here.

See if the machine brings us back.

We tried it your way.

(SIGHS)

What do you think Jennifer really meant?

She said time knows Jones invented time travel.

It needs her to do it.

Did she also tell you that

time has a long, white beard and a list of commandments?

"Thou shall not splinter and kill the creator of time travel."

I remember this one time, Ramse and I were kids,

we bumped into this group of guys coming out of a gun store.

They weren't much older than us.

There was five of them, just armloads of guns.

All these green boxes of ammo at their feet.

And they saw the two of us out in the open, broad daylight.

And they just lit us up.

We thought we were dead.

Not a single bullet hit us.

We thought it was some kind of miracle.

Now, there's two ways to look at that story.

The way I like to look at it, it wasn't our day to die.

God, time, whatever, didn't want us to die.

Thinking like that helped us through some hard times.

Believing that there's something out there, helping you out.

What's the other way to look at it?

Remington makes blanks, and they come in a green box.

(CHUCKLES)

The longest version of the day was my first.

If it's gonna reset, it'll happen soon.

You know, I don't blame Jones for asking you to do this.

I got plenty of things I'd undo if I could.

2013.

Breaking into your car and waiting for you.

And give up the mission?

Mmm-hmm.

Thanks, but I only had a few years left, anyway. (CLEARS THROAT)

Yeah, but in those years, you could have found some real happiness.

That's better than a lifetime of this.

We've been through this.

My life is my life. My choices.

I didn't have to go to that hotel and wait for you.

But I did.

So, please, stop blaming yourself for me.

Worry about your own purpose.

Go save the world, Cole.

To hell with the world.

Then what are we still doing here? For what?

Why continue this?

You know why.

No, |don't.

(CHUCKLES)

You didn't have The Witness in your head.

Tell me, why is this still worth it to you?

The only world I ever gave a damn about was the one with you in it.

All this bullshit, everything I've done,

it's been so you have a place to go back to.

That's it.

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

(GROANS)

What is it?

Nothing.

A memory. (GROANS)

(DISTANT GUNSHOT)

A memory of what?

(DISTANT GUNSHOT)

Tomorrow.

(DISTANT BUGLE MUSIC) (DISTANT GUNSHOT)

Cassie.

(DOOR BUZZES)

JENNIFER: Hey!

I didn't see either of you two yester-today.

No vacations! Work to finish.

JAMES: Just give me a minute.

Did you ever think of maybe doing something,

but not doing it?

I'm getting pretty tired of hearing you talk in circles.

You're tired of hearing me talk in circles?

I'm tired of you going around in them!

Focus!

You need to do something, but nothing.

(SCOFFS)

Think about it! What needs to be done? First and foremost?

What needs to be done to save the world, Cole?

Get you to stop talking?

What needs to be done to save the world, is to believe that you can.

But you can't because things have been bad.

Hope is lost. Get it back.

I have hope. I haven't lost anything.

Not just for you.

Okay. Put the pieces together.

Okay, think about me.

If tomorrow comes, they're gonna put a bullet in my head. Bang!

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

My people are waiting for me nearby.

But a leader is only good if they're present to lead!

If tomorrow comes and I die,

who's gonna tell Jones to bring you back from the hotel

and bring you to 2044, like I did?

Will do for you?

Plus, you're gonna need another Primary.

So, me, Jones, we're pieces of the puzzle.

You gotta make them fit.

Okay?

So, now tell me, what do you need to do

to get out of the loop-de-loop?

So I have to do something,

but the problem is I have to do nothing.

I wanna talk to Foster. Now.

FOSTER: How could you, Katarina?

What is the meaning of this?

To betray us, to risk so many lives, and Hannah even?

I told them about you working with us.

About your plan to eliminate all the non-immune from Spearhead

by having Jennifer and her people bring the virus in.

What? Cole.

We can't lie anymore. They know you're not Cassandra Railly!

What are you doing?

KATARINA: This is madness!

My daughter just... FOSTER: And now you'll join her.

I needed a moment alone with you.

You're insane.

Just answer me this.

Is a little bit of happiness better than a lifetime of anything else?

Answer the question.

Yes.

Ready.

I'm gonna hold you to that.

Aim.

Fire!

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

(BOTH GROANING)

Why would you do that?

I think I know how to get us out of here.

How's it looking?

May be an issue with the console.

Do you have them or not?

Yes. We have them.

(MACHINE WHIRRING)

(coughs)

(JAMES GROANS)

(SIGHS)

If you seek congratulations for failure, I have nothing for you.

I did what you asked me to do.

I shot you several times.

So did I.

Oh, I must be bulletproof.

Every time we killed you back there, time reset the day.

"Time reset the day"? Mmm-hmm.

You're the one that told us time was conscious,

that it needs Primaries like Jennifer to think.

She was there at Spearhead.

Of course she was there!

She's causality's fool.

So, what's your hypothesis of what that exactly means, Mr. Cole?

Time needs us, needs you, to set things right.

To fix it.

Stop the 12 Monkeys from destroying the world.

(LAUGHS)

Time is on our side?

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Cole, but I've spoken to Adler.

Your tethers were caught in a perpetual sling-shot sequence.

That is why you splintered into the same day repeatedly.

Time had nothing to do with it.

It was our broken machine that you failed, once again, to undo.

You need to come with us.

(JAMES SIGHS)

We need to talk to Jennifer.

She knows.

So tomorrow came.

You need to tell her.

No. You should.

You're the puzzle-maker.

We couldn't kill you.

We couldn't do anything to change your timeline.

Unless we did something, but nothing.

I had an idea.

But I had to talk to you about it first.

Is a little bit of happiness better than a lifetime of anything else?

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

We came up with a plan.

Took a few times for us to get it right.

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

(BIRDS SQUAWKING)

What are you saying, Mr. Cole?

CASSIE: Hannah didn't have the plague.

She was immune, like you.

She died of bacterial meningitis.

I saved her once with you, but the day reset anyway.

Time wouldn't let us change your history in any way.

It needed you to create time travel.

It needs us to complete the mission.

(BEEPING)

I held her hand.

She was gone. She was gone. I just...

CASSIE: That's how you remember it.

Now, you can say that the time loop

was just a glitch in the machine.

And you can believe that, but the only thing

that stopped the loop was this.

For you to create time travel, you had to lose Hannah.

Or at least believe that you did.

But, Jones, we changed the timeline.

CASSIE: They told you Hannah died in their care.

That her body was incinerated with the others.

It wasn't.

KATARINA: An auspicious change has befallen me.

I find myself guiltily relenting on my ranting and ravings.

Is death not necessary for the past to be erased?

I shall not know.

The undiscovered country does not beckon me.

How is she?

I'm surprised she doesn't hate us.

She lost 24 years with Hannah because of what we did.

Hannah was dead before.

Now she has a chance to know her.

It's not perfect, but it's something.

Cassie.

You and I both know that we're gonna lose so much before this is over.

I'd rather have that moment and lose it,

than die never having had it at all.

You say that now.

But it's the losing that haunts us.

This can't happen.

(SNIFFLES)

(SIGHS)

You know why I left this place?

'Cause I hated everything about it.

Couldn't stand the sight of it.

It's what hell must be like.

Cole sees a light in you.

I don't.

You see, what happened to you,

happened

because you wanted it.

I got two.

One for you.

(CLICKS)

One for me.

I don't blame you, Ramse.

If I could take your son's place, I would.

I can't.

But what if we could find the one responsible?

The Witness.

It's a phantom. Just an idea, that's all it is.

No.

When he was in my head,

I was in his.

I saw a place called Titan.

He's there. He feels safe.

You and I,

we can go there together.

(CLICKS)

Then what?

We kill The Witness.
