Original subtitles

JENNIFER: Previously on 12 Monkeys...

You're walking through a Red Forest.

There's a house in the distance.

Cedar and pine.

You've been there before.

JAMES". The Messengers went back in time to paradox Primaries.

There's one more we don't know.

1957.

Upstate New York.

A paradox so powerful, it destroys the fabric of time.

Spit in the face of death,

and lead your Daughters to face off against the Army of the 12 Monkeys.

Ladies, mount up.

We're taking them to Titan.

We don't have a machine to bring you back.

I don't want to be afraid anymore.

(ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC PLAYING)

Right now, it's January.

The paradox happens November 7th at that factory.

That gives us 11 months to find the Primary before The Messengers do.

The Primary's gotta be one of the employees.

There are over 200 people who work there.

How are we gonna figure out which one is the Primary?

JAMES". We'll have to get jobs there. Get to know people.

Make friends. Blend in.

CASSIE: Okay. Then what?

JAMES: Look out for the strange ones.

Being Primary is like being schizophrenic.

Look for people who twitch, talk to themselves,

don't fit in with others. People who stand out.

It's not for them... They should make up for that.

(MAN CONTINUES MUTTERING)

Good morning.

CASSIE: But what if the Primary isn't unstable? What if they seem normal?

JAMES: Then we have to check everyone, no matter what.

No exceptions.

Remember, the link between Jennifer, Tommy, and Kyle

is that they each saw and drew the same thing.

A face. A screaming monkey.

Hey, it's Cole. How are you, pal? Hey.

Come on, man.

Geez Louise, what's the problem, Cole?

Don't be such a pansy.

(LAUGHING)

Do you have any idea what a paradox is?

I sure do.

Hey. Give me...

Get your hand off of me.

What? I like butts, okay? What's the big deal?

Thanks for the drink.

Jesus, Railly, you are a piece of work.

That's it. Been through everyone.

We only have two days left to stop

a paradox that will destroy the world,

and we don't have a single lead.

You're sure about this one? He's not Primary.

Did you look at all the drawings?

Maybe there was some kind of a code or a pattern.

Did you go through every single page?

Yeah, the ones that weren't stuck together. Trust me, it's not him.

Sometimes you miss things.

Really? Does that make me stupid, or a liar?

Neither one changes the fact the guy's not Primary!

Look, we are really scraping the bottom of the barrel with these two.

Are you sure that none of these people

look like The Messengers you saw in 2043?

I only got a good look at a few of them, not all.

What about Sully O'Dare or Andrew Peterson?

One of them could... No and no. I checked. I told you.

Check again.

Peterson got fired for boozing on the job.

He's not even gonna be there on the 7th.

And O'Dare... I tried so hard to get to know O'Dare,

he thinks I'm trying to get into his pants.

That's what you're worried about?

None of these people are Primary!

We got two days left. We need to focus.

Maybe you've been wrong?

Maybe the Tall Man lied to you?

We haven't even seen any sign of a Messenger.

We know there's gonna be a paradox.

Okay. What about you?

What about me?

Well, maybe you missed something. Hmm?

All these supervisors and supply salesmen.

Maybe you've been enjoying your job a little too much.

I would be very careful about what you say to me next, Cole.

Where are you going? Out.

So I don't have to say it.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

(BLUES MUSIC PLAYING)

Whiskey sour. Thanks.

Hey-

Hey, Charlie.

What are you doing here?

It's my night out.

I don't get it.

Melinda says that I can't be home tonight.

Says I can't just sit around watching her be sick all the time.

How's she doing?

She has that beautiful dark hair.

It started falling out last week.

It's that chemotherapy.

You know the same chemical that they put in her body

is what they use in mustard gas?

The same shit that killed people in that war,

it's in her veins.

I'm sorry.

So what are you doing here?

I was clearing my head.

Let me guess.

She's getting tired of you being paranoid about people. (CHUCKLES)

I got my reasons.

Commies? Yeah.

(CHUCKLES)

I swear you see more red than goddamn Joe McCarthy did.

Instead, you could go upstairs

and put your arms around that pretty lady and make nice for once?

It's not like that. Sure it is.

It's not.

Yeah, you're probably right.

You're better off.

I hear that she's been on more dates than

that Playboy with Jayne Mansfield in it. Whoa!

Hey!

See, you do care.

And whatever is stopping you two, it isn't worth it.

This whole world could eat shit and die,

it wouldn't matter if you were together.

You know, Melinda's doctor

told me that I should think about

buying her a nice gift for Christmas.

Something special.

Because he doesn't think that she will...

It's just so cruel.

So when I say what I say, you know I know.

Because when it comes down to it,

the only thing you'll be wishing for is more time.

Trust me.

Speaking of, I'm gonna take my own advice. I'm gonna go home.

(UPBEAT SONG PLAYING)

See you at work, Cole.

See you, Charlie.

(DOOR OPENS)

(SIGHS)

Sober? Yes.

I asked the operator to switch me into

one of the party lines near the factory.

I heard people talking about a job.

You know the drainage system

they're always complaining about on the factory's roof?

Yeah? They're hiring day laborers to fix it.

One of them...

Could be our Primary.

That would explain why we haven't found them yet.

Cole...

(SIGHS)

I know these months here have been hard.

We haven't been very good to each other.

The stress and...

There's never enough time, is there?

I had hoped that Ramse could find Titan,

and if The Witness were there,

they could kill him, and undo all this somehow.

But it's getting too late to rely on that.

This is our last chance.

(MACHINE GUNS FIRING)

SOLDIER: Go, go, go!

(SOLDIER SHOUTING)

(SCREAMING)

Mother, for you...

I'm sorry.

I didn't know it would be like this.

(SCREAMS)

(GROANS)

(THUNDER CRACKING)

Measure your life by counting the precious moments.

You will conquer all obstacles.

Your smile is a treasure to all who know you.

Oh, please.

Are you hurt?

She was trying to protect me.

(SNIFFLES)

(SOBS)

Let's see if they have any food.

Then you hang them from a rope.

You call yourselves "Bleeders"?

You kill everybody that passes?

You eat them, too, huh?

We're heading to a place, about 30 miles west from here.

It's called Titan.

Do you know what I'm talking about? Do you?

I don't know what it's called, but there's a place with lights and sounds.

What else?

Some went in to see if there was anything to take,

didn't come back.

We've been staying east ever since.

That it?

It's coming.

We have maybe a day or two, but that's it. (THUNDER CRACKING)

People are tired, need rest.

No stopping-

Everybody get your shit together!

Let's go.

Hey... Hey! Hey!

You don't order me around. I'm the Mother, not you.

Wise are those who know that they are not wise.

Your wisdom used to have meaning, and now it's just...

Sorry to interrupt, ma'am.

But the storms are moving. We should hurry up.

Stop that.

He killed you.

Look at him. He knows it.

And I decide what happens to him. Not you.

Got it? We vowed to protect Mother.

You are not her.

Well, we found their base camp.

There's no food.

These people were starving. Like us.

We should get the bodies down and burn them before we go.

Yeah.

How far did you get?

How far... It's not there.

I used the tracker and the coordinates. Nothing is there.

I scouted the entire area.

You're wrong, Ramse.

Titan doesn't exist.

(THUNDER RUMBLING IN DISTANCE)

Zeit says that Titan doesn't exist.

It does. She's wrong.

No, I think you're wrong, old man.

If you're willing to bet your life on this, that's fine.

But we've already lost two sisters today.

We're not losing any more. It's over.

What are you gonna do? Are you gonna take your girls?

Huh?

Where you gonna go? Huh?

(THUNDER CRACKING) Take a look at those skies.

Cole didn't stop anything!

The only way we survive

is if we find Titan and we kill The Witness.

We're done here.

Jennifer! You want to set your people straight?

Ramse, it's better to have a hen today than an egg tomorrow.

Your present plans...

Our Mother is dead!

We're done following this girl!

Then do as I say.

DEACON: Uh-oh.

Try not to die.

Come on. Don't.

(CRACKING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

No!

(GROANING)

Stop! Stop!

(sums COCKING)

No more killing!

Stop!

Weapons down.

Our sister chose this for herself.

Please, Ramse.

"Jeb Donaldson."

"Rory McEntire."

"Reginald Dupuy."

All right, gents, we're heading up on the roof to work on the drains.

I'll be supervising you. 'Cause the last time we did this job,

some nimrod fell off and busted his head clean open.

Had to shovel him off the pavement. Time.

So watch yourselves... Time, time.

...'cause I don't wanna be dealing with that shit again.

The system is gonna need cleaning, fixing,

and we got three days to do it.

Let's go.

Hey, Roger. Yeah.

You going up to the roof with those guys?

I don't got much of a choice now, do I?

Hey, hey. Why don't you let me supervise instead?

I could use the overtime.

It's gonna be freezing up there.

You wanna spend the next three days shivering your ass off,

baby swung a bunch of mocks'?

Clear your shift.

Meet me up there in 20. All right.

Why on Earth would you sign up for such a shit detail?

You see that guy? The squirrely one on the end.

Yeah. What about him?

A few years ago, I did some time.

For what?

Bar fight, doesn't matter.

Anyway, he was in there with me.

He did something to a lady. Used to draw dirty pictures.

You get my drift?

I just wanna keep an eye on him.

Yeah.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

I found away in.

One of the guys on the crew...

He had that twitchy quality to him.

Did you talk to him? I'm heading up there right now.

Listen, the guy's name is Reginald Dupuy.

See if you can find any hiring paperwork,

maybe with an address on it or something.

"Dupuy" I'll see what I can find.

Cole, if it's him?

I'll do what I have to.

Hey, man, watch what you're doing! These are my good shoes.

Hey, your name's Reginald, right?

Yes, sir.

Why don't you come with me?

Hey there, Rocky Marciano.

You know, you're not supposed to be

going through those hiring files.

Those are confidential.

I was looking for paper.

Here.

You from around here?

You serve in the war? No?

Spend any time in the hospital?

Draw things you see in your head?

Monkeys?

Hear voices talking about things that haven't happened yet?

Red Forests? Green to red?

Time...

Time...

Time to go back to work.

(SIGHS)

Where have you been? (DOOR CLOSES)

I was trying to follow him, but I lost him by the train tracks.

Cass, I think it's him.

Cole, it is him.

(THUNDER CRASHING)

(THUNDER CRASHING)

ADLER: Those coordinates say Titan should be right here.

I told you, it wasn't.

The tracker you were using was hooked up to

the transponder in the Humvee that burned down.

It sent you in the wrong direction. No.

There's hills and valleys here.

You could have been close, and you missed it.

If so, this is the route we should take.

But we don't know what's out there.

There's less than 20 of us now.

Well, we do what we can with what we have. I'm not stopping.

They're not going with you.

I can't make them.

We have to go with them. The time storms will kill us if we stay.

Convince them. They need your wisdom!

My wisdom? You want my wisdom?

(READING)

"Your smile is a treasure to all who know you.

"Your lucky numbers are 10, 42, 75, and 3."

What is this? This is how you lead?

Uh, spoiler alert, I'm not wise old me, am I?

And if I'm being frank? My Daughters are assholes.

Knife fights, ridiculous eye shadow

and serious, serious mommy issues.

And the worst part is,

you're all I have to look forward to in my retirement.

So much for backgammon and Palm Springs!

Ramse, wait! Where are you going?

You taught us to be willing to give our lives for each other.

If you won't be a part of saving theirs, at least give them yours.

I'm coming with you.

There he is.

Hey, hey. What are you doing?

I'm going with you.

No, no. If he sees us together,

he's gonna know something's up.

I can handle this on my own. You don't need to be here.

Cole... Trust me.

If something goes wrong, I'll meet you back at the hotel.

Go.

Reggie, hey, new drill today.

I gotta take you in the back. Yeah. Come on. This way.

What is this? Just keep walking.

What did I do? Huh?

MAN: She's got a gun!

What is this?

You telling me you don't have any idea?

Where are we going?

Turn around. I'm...

You know why this has to happen.

MAN 1: What's going on? MAN 2: What?

MAN 3: Get out of here.

Oh, my God. There's a woman here with a gun!

MAN: Get out of here. Come on! Come on!

Where's my husband?

Who's your husband?

Put it down.

You're Primary. You know what happens to you.

I'm... I'm...

Turn around.

I'm sorry.

What?

I took the money.

What money? What are you talking about?

The money he gave me to act like I was afraid of you.

But he drew the picture.

Who is your husband?

Charlie.

(GRUNTS)

Baby, put that down.

It's time.

Take it.

It hurts to hold it like this.

I know what you're supposed to do with this.

I've known my whole life.

I knew it would be you from the moment I saw you.

It's time. I'm ready.

You're one of the Twelve. You're a Messenger.

I was. But I won't be.

Not to her.

I can't hurt her.

I don't wanna hurt her either.

Charlie, today's the day I die.

She's Primary. If you paradox her, you'll destroy everyone.

Everything.

Where's the other Messenger?

He's dead.

I'm not like them.

Not everything The Witness said was true.

Because when I saw you, I just... I couldn't do it.

Do this,

and we can live forever in the Red Forest like you said.

JAMES: Charlie!

I'm sorry, Cole, but you of all people should understand this.

JAMES: No!

(RUMBLING)

(METAL CREAKING)

(EXPLODING)

Do you see that?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

I swear to you, this wasn't here before.

My God.

How many days has the patient been in coma?

Nineteen.

I can't believe she's still with us.

Much luckier than the others.

Cassie.

(SIGHS)

I know you can't hear me.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault. I couldn't stop it.

The best thing that can happen now

is for you to wake up,

and then forget you ever knew me.

WOMAN". You're walking through a Red Forest.

The grass is tall.

It's just rained.

Most of the blood has washed away.

There's a house in the distance.

Cedar and pine.

You've been there before.

You're not alone.

(GASPS)

(CLIPBOARD CLATTERS)

(WOMAN CHATTERING ON PA)

We weren't sure if you'd ever wake up.

You sustained quite a few injuries.

The trauma to your head... What happened?

It was the factory. Some kind of explosion.

Cole?

Where's Cole?

We haven't had any patients from the explosion besides you for six months.

It's a miracle that you're still alive.

Six months?

You were out for quite some time.

The explosion happened in 1957.

It's now 1958.

Nurse. Nurse!

Sorry, you know I don't like calling you that,

but until you finish those courses,

I don't know what else to call you.

What is it, Dr. Ed?

The kid with the bug bite and the rash...

I told you, it's not...

Look, I went through this whole book,

I've called every colleague I have.

Not one of them has ever heard of anything called Lyme disease,

or watermelon disease, or potato disease either.

Look, I got really good marks in med school.

The patient needs Penicillin V or he'll die.

Trust me. Have I been wrong yet?

CASSIE: Where are you right now?

Someplace warm?

Safe?

Next to someone you love?

MAN: I'll have a whiskey sour. Coming right up.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Good afternoon, ma'am.

The American Union representative dropped this off for you.

He said to say they found an address

for that name you were looking for.

WOMAN: And who are you?

Morris Morrison.

(GRUNTS)

Damn it.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

The house?

It's mine. l bought it.

Why this house?

I was driving by. Saw the "for sale" sign.

It needs a lot of work.

At the hospital,

they weren't sure if you were ever gonna wake up.

But I knew you would.

Why did you go?

I couldn't do it. Not after.

So you ran?

I did what I always told you I was gonna do.

I found a place for you to be happy.

I mean, look around.

There's no plague here.

There's no Red Forest.

You're safe. You can live a life.

So that's it?

After all of that, we just forget about the future?

I don't know what else to do.

I'm done trying to figure out the answer to everything.

We failed, but for some reason, we're still here.

You being here doesn't make sense.

I'm also done trying to make sense of everything.

You should be, too.

You can hate me for leaving.

But I did it for you.

No, you didn't.

You did it for you, because you're afraid.

(THUNDER CRASHING IN DISTANCE)

(RAIN FALLING)

You're bleeding. It's nothing.

Do you have running water at least?

(CHUCKLES)

JAMES: Yeah.

CASSIE: Easy.

We have to wash it first.

It's not as bad as it looked. it just bled a lot.

Most of the blood... WOMAN: Most of the blood...

...has washed away. ...has washed away.

What is it?

(TICKING)

(CHIMES)

I know this room.

If ow?

WOMAN". You're walking through a Red Forest.

The grass is tall.

It's just rained.

(GRUNTS)

Most of the blood... WOMAN: Most of the blood...

...has washed away. ...has washed away.

There's a house in the distance.

Cedar and pine.

You've been there before.

I've been here before.

You're not alone.

There is a man.

See him.

Go to him.

Know him.

Like a memory of tomorrow... Like a memory of tomorrow...

They knew this place.

This moment.

You.

What are you talking about?

(METALLIC CREAKING)

(METALLIC SCRAPING)

(SHUSHING)

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING DISTANTLY)

Why would you walk towards the weird music?

Ramse, nothing about this place says "good idea."

He's here. Keep moving.

(THUNDER RUMBLES IN THE DISTANCE)

(MUSIC BECOMING LOUDER)

Turn around!

JAMES: Look outside.

Time hasn't collapsed.

Go. Live. For once, there's time.

But this isn't permanent.

I still die at the CDC in 2018.

You don't know that.

To hell with causality. You don't have to be afraid anymore.

Go live a life that's not full of fear and death.

But the world will still end.

I know Ramse. He wouldn't give up.

He found Titan. He found The Witness.

Take off the mask! (ECHOING)

Take off the mask!

Until the world comes crashing down around our heads,

we have to believe it's over.

All Of it.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

Because you really know what you're doing here,

I'll leave you to it.

Cassie! What?

I'm leaving you alone. That's what you want.

That's not why I left.

Then what was it?

I wanted you to be free of me!

I never asked to be free of you.

You coward. You know that's not why you left me.

You left me because you're in love with me.

I've always known, Cole.

(SCOFFS)

And you kept pushing me away.

So that in the end, you wouldn't have anything to lose.

And now, you don't.

Ramse.
