Original subtitles

LILLIAN: I want to tell you a story

about how the world ends,

and the man who came back through time to stop it.

JAMES: Charlie.

And failed.

For, you see, there is another Traveler.

One who is both the architect and witness to our destruction.

(GRUNTING)

And the man cannot see the other's design.

The end of the beginning...

Merry Christmas, James.

...and the beginning of the end.

(JAMES CHUCKLING) CASSIE: For you.

No. (LAUGHS)

CASSIE: Please? I wanna see what you look like under there.

CASSIE: Come on.

You're not living in the 2040s anymore.

Your turn. Come on.

(CLEARING THROAT)

Why do you look nervous?

I've never done this before.

My dad would get me a little something, but...

Usually a train. I used to love trains.

He was good.

It's for your, uh...

I just remembered that thing you said about, "Not every cat..."

Yeah. "Caterpillar becomes a butterfly."

Anyway, I know it's dumb. If you don't like it...

CASSIE: No. It's...

I love it. Thank you.

I have one more for you. JAMES: Hmm.

More. Bring it on. (CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

(SCOFFS INCREDULOUSLY)

You're gonna be so good, too.

WOW. (CHUCKLING)

This is exactly where we're supposed to be.

Home.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

MAN: You okay, son?

Yeah. Yeah. I, uh...

I just found out I'm gonna be a father.

Well, congrats, Jimbo.

I'll tell you, I got three of my own.

Let me give you some advice...

It's not over, James.

(RINGING)

Ho,ho,ho,ho. Merry Christmas.

I asked about getting an ultrasound machine at work.

I keep forgetting it's 1959.

Not so easy to come by.

I don't know if I'm ready either, but...

What is it?

Talk to me.

What if it's not over?

The Red Forest, the plague, the Witness.

And what if Ramse never got him?

I think we'd know.

If ow?

Well, we're still here. Your words.

Time didn't collapse.

Maybe this is just how it's meant to be?

Time's on our side.

It hasn't always been.

I'd like to think we earned this.

(SIGHS)

(HORN BLARING)

(MUSIC PLAYING OVER RADIO)

(MUSIC STOPS)

(HORN CONTINUES BLARING)

Hi.

I'm, uh, looking for a woman.

Long, dark hair. Probably a patient here.

I'm afraid that doesn't quite narrow it down.

Her, uh, left wrist.

She cut it.

Lillian.

I've been here 17 years.

She's been here twice as long.

And, during that time, she's had exactly one visitor.

You.

No family?

She did. Parents and two younger siblings.

Until she killed them.

Schizophrenic hallucinations.

Rare, but it happens.

LILLIAN: Who are you?

Cole.

Are you real, Cole?

Yes.

Hmm.

No. You're not him.

I'm insane. And you're my insanity.

I saw you.

Outside the market, when everything stopped.

Fink-tack. fink-tuck.

“Ck-tuck.

JAMES: I've seen people like you before.

I know you're not schizophrenic.

You're Primary.

James Cole.

I waited and waited.

But I didn't think you would come with the end so close.

There is no end. Time didn't collapse.

Yet, we walk on frozen streets,

freely, while the rest of time is still.

You know why that happened.

It's not over, James.

Green. To red. To dead.

No, if that were happening, we would know it.

I would know it.

You're blind. You can't see it.

There's only one who can.

The Witness.

The Witness is done. Ramse stopped him. He stopped all of it.

It's how I'm even able to be here.

Titan.

There was, is, will be death there.

Do not mourn them, James.

They're the lucky few.

The ones spared from what comes last, comes next.

Death. Chaos.

Is that what you think you did?

Spared your family?

I warned them.

I warned them that death was coming.

But Mother and Father, all they cared about was life. New life.

First, my brother, then my sister, then...

Then I...

I don't even know what that one was.

Would have been.

But I saved them, James. I freed them from what's about to come.

And you will do the same.

You're not connected to time. You're just sick.

Time is collapsing all around us.

2044,gone! 2016,gone! 1975,gone!

1959...

The storms have come, James.

The Red Forest is here.

Go to the Pine Barrens! See what you find and bring it back here.

And have a Merry Christmas!

(LILLIAN CACKLING)

(THUNDER CRASHING)

Green to red. Flesh to blood.

Two things existing at once.

The beginning. And the end.

And I can't do anything to stop it.

You can. The paradox already happened in 1957.

We failed. The final strike in your strikeout.

You need to back it up and swing again.

You don't get it. I can't travel through time anymore.

I don't have a machine.

James Cole does not need a machine.

Go down the rabbit hole.

Drink me.

I've seen what this does to people.

Their minds are untethered.

They're... Out of time.

Which is where you need to be.

So, what, I drink this,

and my consciousness drifts up the time stream?

To any moment you've been before.

Find the you in 1957.

Take control. Undo your mistakes.

Stop the paradox and save us all.

But everything that's happened since that moment...

Will be undone.

Cassie.

LILLIAN: Or do nothing

and watch the ones you love be consumed

by the Red Forest and suffer eternal.

I'm not like you.

I can't erase her.

Them.

Some happiness is better than a lifetime of anything else.

Death can be undone, James.

Love cannot.

But should you stop the paradox

and find yourself in your own time,

do not go to Titan.

Ramse.

Let your brother go, James.

An army awaits there for you.

The continuation of a cycle that must end.

If you don't, your family, my family...

It will all be in vain.

(BLOWS)

Where were you?

The shop called.

I know you didn't go in to work today.

What's going on with you?

Uh, I...

I just had to go for a drive. Clear my head.

Don't bullshit me, Cole.

(SIGHS) Cassie.

Look. I get it. This is a lot for you.

It's too much, too soon.

No. No. That's not it.

Then what?

You've been walking around in a funk.

And the only thing that's new with us is

what's new with us.

I just want you to feel how I feel.

I do.

I just had to get my mind around it.

Believe me.

There is nothing I ever wanted more than this.

(CLOCK CHIMING)

JAMES: Leland Frost.

You know a man named Leland Frost! I need to find him!

(GASPS)

(GRUNTING)

Yeah, that is a rush.

(EXHALES)

Okay. (CELLPHONE RINGING)

Doctor Railly. I might be getting the hang of this.

Wow. (CHUCKLES) CASSIE: When are you coming home?

You don't even know who I am yet.

I was hoping to see you tonight.

But I guess I can let you sweep me off my feet

and make it up to me. I gotta get outta here.

This is too early.

Come home to me and I'll show you.

1957.

Gotta find the me in 1957.

Where are you?

JAMES: Let's get something straight.

You do not give me orders.

I'm not your soldier.

Oh, yeah.

This is where I meet... JENNIFER: Who are you?

Hey, Jennifer. I'm Cole.

Are you real, Cole?

Listen, I'm sorry I can't stick around.

But do me a favor, from this point forward,

don't ever call me "Otter Eyes" again.

RAMSE: You guys gonna pick up where you left off?

Cassie.

Ramse.

Yeah. Yeah, her name's Cassie.

Listen, you need help.

I want you to talk to her.

And I want you to bring up your friend.

Right. The one who eats blondes for breakfast.

Yes, him. (CHUCKLES)

Seriously, take a shot.

It's worth the risk.

Attention, Night Room shoppers.

(GASPS)

Almost there.

Almost there.

Who are you?

Who are you?

REGINALD: Where are we going?

This is it. 1957. I'm...

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

How did you know?

I didn't.

Then, I did.

CHARLIE: Cole.

If I do this,

I can be with her forever in the Red Forest.

No death, no time-clock.

You don't understand.

I love her.

Cole? He's not your friend.

He's a Messenger. Shoot him.

That's not it.

Hey, Charlie,

I do understand.

Goodbye.

Jones.

Welcome home.

I remember sending you back to 1957.

Both of you.

And then, it's a blur.

The storms overran the facility.

I remember being surrounded by the anomalies.

Then...

it took months, but I watched time repair itself.

The Red Forest is gone, for now.

A memory of tomorrow.

Since it took a year for you to find the Primary,

I had to wait for your real time tethers to catch up.

It was lonely at first.

But it wasn't long before I had visitors.

Scavengers. Marauders. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Come on, mate. Yeah.

I had to learn to protect this place on my own.

Day in and day out, they would come.

And I would have to clean house.

And then one day, this little shit showed up.

What can I say?

(CHUCKLES) Never had a dog before.

It's been us ever since.

It took us a year, a long year.

We went through every single person at that factory.

We almost didn't find the Primary.

It was close, but at the very last second,

we stopped the Messenger.

Cole did. He got him.

There's something else.

Ramse and Hannah.

They die at Titan.

This woman, this Primary, she said an army is awaiting them?

Ramse's walking them into a trap.

The Witness knows somehow.

What are you doing?

There was a transponder in one of their vehicles.

I've been tracking their movements,

but this morning, the signal ended right here.

West of Titan. We need to warn them.

Stop them from going there.

They're too far to radio.

We'll never be able to...

The machine?

Dr. Adler programmed the machine for Titan.

Time travel without the time part.

We'll splinter there and warn them.

Can you finish the calculations?

I programmed the jump to the woods just outside Titan.

There's only one approach.

Hopefully, we will find them there.

Did you just say "we?"

The machine is on autopilot.

It will pull us all back in 12 hours.

That gives us more than enough time

to radio the caravan or find them ourselves.

Are you serious?

I'm going, Mr. Cole.

I'm not losing my daughter again.

Now, get your ass in the chair.

(MACHINE POWERING UP)

Initiate Splinter Sequence.

(PULSATING)

(ALL GROANING)

Holy shit. Is that what that feels like?

Jones. What?

JENNIFER: Ramse's gone.

They all went to Titan.

Where's Hannah?

She went with them.

There's an army waiting for them.

If we're gonna have any chance of saving them,

we need the Daughters to come with us.

They won't listen to me. They don't believe in me.

Then make them.

(SCOFFS)

Daughters of Earth,

I am Jennifer Goines!

What is this?

As we speak, an army of death awaits our friends in Titan.

But we,

we can face that death head-on and save them.

I see in your eyes, the same fear

that would take the heart of me.

A day may come, when the courage of women fails,

and we forsake our friends

and break all bonds of fellowship,

but it is not this day.

This is our chance, our one chance,

to tell our enemies that they can take our lives,

but they'll never take our freedom!

I think it's working.

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

(PANTING)

Screw you. I'll do it myself.

You're lazy.

Forget it. Come on, Cole, let's go.

You're leaving us? You'd sacrifice your life for them?

Yeah. I would.

I don't know what old me taught you,

but clearly, she forgot the most important lesson.

Which is?

Be excellent to each other.

Come on, you guys.

Wait.

Turn around!

Take off the mask.

Take off the mask!

(ALL GASP)

(GUNSHOTS)

(YELLING CRY)

Well, well.

RAMSE: Well, that took you long enough, brother.

Saving your ass takes time.

Survivors. Bring 'em here.

Witness. Where is he?

You'll never find him, Traveler. He's safe.

Safe.

(MAN SCREAMING)

Where is he? The Witness is safe.

RAMSE: Where?

Where?

The Witness is safe.

(GRUNTING)

Where? All right, enough.

You! You brought us here.

You told us to come here.

Hey!Hey!Enough!

Hey,enough!

I saw him! He was here.

Where is he? Hey!

Don't make me regret coming back here for you.

You know what this place meant for me.

I know.

Jones, what is this place?

I don't know.

But this technology was pioneered by my husband Elliot Jones.

I'm afraid that this, all of this,

could be in service of another machine.

If the Witness has his own machine...

We need to find it.

JENNIFER: Okay. No. Hold up.

Flag on the play, Otter Eyes.

Yes, I will always call you that.

But, okay, we gotta go.

We came, we saw, we kicked their ass.

Time will take what it's owed.

RAMSE: I'm not leaving.

Boys, Crazy's making sense here.

The trick-or-treaters were waiting for you. They wanted you here.

The "why" is not something we should stick around to find out.

The answer's here somewhere. Jesus Christ.

We need to find it.

Radio back first sign of trouble.

If the Witness is here, we need him alive.

Once he tells us what we need to know, he's yours.

Let's go.

Never thought I'd see Jones packing.

Well, not every caterpillar becomes a...

Butterfly.

You gave me a butterfly.

The house. It was cedar and pine.

We lived there together.

It was our home.

How can you remember that?

We were in...

(ETHEREAL RUMBLING)

Oh, nothing good makes that sound.

(RUMBLING CONTINUES)

Before, you said when you came here first...

Titan wasn't here.

It wasn't here yet.

James, we need to get out of here. Right now.

No. We need to find the Witness.

If he has his own machine...

Look at those towers, Dr. Railly.

(POWERING UP)

Titan is his machine!

Ramse, everyone! Get out now.

This whole place is about to splinter!

Let's move.

MAN: Ramse, let's go!

(GRUNTING)

No time to explain!

Come with me, now!

Do you want the Witness, or not?

(RUMBLING CONTINUES)

Hey, wait. Where are the others?

I don't know. Ramse was right behind me.

Cole!

Shit.

Get the hell outta here. Deacon,no.

I'm sorry I killed you. Go!

(ALL YELLING)

(WHIRRING) Uh-oh.

Ramse!

Cole, come on. We gotta get outta here.

Please.

For me.

Cole!

(GRUNTING)

Cole!

Cassie! Cole!

What happened?

What happened to Titan?

Hello, Traveler.

You gotta be kidding me.

Why don't you kill me already?

She is no longer with the Army of the Twelve Monkeys.

None of us are.

Bring him.

Where are you taking me?

To your son.

(EXPLOSIONS) (GUNFIRE)

(INDISTINCT YELLING)

(CONVERSING IN FRENCH)

What are you doing here?

Where's your mask?

(SPEAKING ENGLISH) I just took a wrong turn back there.

We have a Kraut woman.

French. That's right.

(JENNIFER SPEAKING FRENCH)

May I use your telephone?

(EXPLOSION BOOMING)

...and the toilet?

(GRUNTING)

Come on, Cassie.

Come on!

KATARINA: We don't have her tether.

She's gone.

Where did she go?

Look. This is our time stream,

where we've spent the last three years

looking for answers. The past.

But that is not where Titan went.

They went here. The future.

Our future, James.

The year 2163 based on Titan's temporal signature.

Send me.

The past is one thing. But the future?

We have no way of knowing what could be waiting there for you.

I'm going, Katarina.

I'm gonna find her, and I'm gonna bring her home.

(BEEPING)

(DOOR SLAMMING OPEN)

Cassandra.

It is a great honor to finally have you here.

For you...

...to finally join us.

It was you this whole time.

You're the Witness.

No, no.

The Witness is far more special than I,

or, than you, or James.

And that's why it was always important that you...

You come to Titan.

Where is he?

Where is the Witness?

He's safe.

Born of two Travelers outside of time.

You brought him here, Cassandra.

The Witness is here.

Mother.

(GASPS)

The Mother.

(ALL CHANTING) The Mother. The Mother. The Mother.

The Mother.

Mother. Mother. Mother.

Mother! Mother! Mother!

Mother! Mother!

Mother! Mother!

LILLIAN: I {Old you.

This is the story about how the world ends.

One that begins at the end,

and ends...

At the beginning.
