12 Monkeys

Where are you right now?

Let me start at the beginning.

The beginning...

Three years ago,

I sent a traveler back in time

to stop a plague...

that had killed 7 billion people.

The mission was clear:

kill the man responsible for destroying the world

before he has a chance to do so...

Change history

and save the future.

But as fate would have it,

we were hunting the wrong man.

- You're still here. - How is that possible?

We changed course

and recruited others

to help us on our mission.

Bonds were forged with allies,

mutual enemies,

and even those of...

unsound mind.

And together,

we discovered a conspiracy spanning centuries:

the Army of the 12 Monkeys...

an organization bent on

not only the destruction of humankind,

but time itself.

A cult operating by fierce religious devotion

to the word of its prophet...

Mother!

A man from the future...

who calls himself...

the Witness.

The world's end, an infinite hell on Earth,

are by his design.

And now, our mission to stop him

has come at a tremendous cost.

Cole!

Cassie!

Our friends are lost in time.

Come on, Cassie.

She's gone.

Where did she go?

Our only clue to their disappearance is a year:

2163.

A when without a where.

For months, we've searched the wasteland

for the enemy's machine,

Titan,

chasing its temporal signature.

Scouring the planet, we found nothing.

Initiate return sequence.

And for our traveler, James Cole,

I fear this is no longer a rescue mission,

but something else...

the hopeless endeavor of a man

desperate to save someone he lost,

someone he loves.

And with each passing day,

hope becomes a distant memory.

How can we defeat an enemy

from our own future?

Time is no longer on our side.

How much longer you want to do this?

Mr. Cole.

Mr. Cole.

- James. - What?

It's time.

- You and I both know... - I'm not stopping.

Your loyalty is distracting you from the truth.

We need to move on.

It's been months.

I've watched you killing yourself...

slowly.

And I stood aside, and I helped.

I can find her.

Dr. Railly isn't the mission.

She never was, and she never would have wanted to be.

What about Ramse, then? Jennifer?

- They neither. - What is it then? Huh, Jones?

What is the mission now?

Stopping the Witness, the plague!

Learning Titan's true purpose!

Same bullshit, over and over again.

We may not find our friends,

but we can still save them.

We can save everyone!

I'm going back there.

The hell you are.

Move.

You are a rabid dog.

Don't make me put you down.

The sensor that I planted...

on the bridge outside Syracuse...

there was a... a spike in the temporal energy.

- Then it went dark. - It might've found Titan.

Or found nothing... a hiccup in the time stream.

We need to know that!

I need to know that.

If there's even a chance...

You are malnourished, dehydrated.

You haven't slept in months.

James, we have lost so many already.

I'm not gonna die on you.

I can find them.

All right.

But you're not going alone.

Oh!

I'm not going anywhere.

I have responsibilities here.

The security of this facility, to my sisters...

We're losing Mr. Cole.

I need someone to keep an eye on him.

A reconnaissance mission only.

I'm not getting in your machine.

It's caused enough damage.

Don't be a little shit.

I'm not one of your soldiers to be ordered.

Or my daughter to be told, apparently.

- That's not what I meant. - Then say what you mean.

I went to Titan for Moth...

Jennifer.

She's gone.

This is not my mission. I don't believe in it.

Yet here you are,

standing before me, alive... my daughter.

This mission saved your life.

Mr. Cole saved your life.

Please.

I only want you to be his guardian,

to protect him.

From who?

There's no one left in 2163.

It's a dead world.

The greatest danger to Mr. Cole is Mr. Cole.

I need to protect him from himself.

Initiate splinter sequence.

And if James doesn't want to be saved?

Then you'll stick him with this.

And you'll bring him home.

Match coordinates.

- Follow sequence. - Powering up.

Try and keep up.

I prefer to be where I can see you.

Something tells me you're the one I should keep an eye on.

You don't trust me now either?

I don't trust what you've become.

You know, we can hear you at night.

Drinking mother's red tea in your quarters.

The screaming.

It's not working, is it?

The Witness is always there.

It worked once.

Maybe because he wanted it to.

Maybe.

It could kill you, James.

Or do you even care anymore?

The hell's that supposed to mean?

You're different now...

unwilling to face the hard choices in front of you.

Hey, you have no idea the choices I've had to make.

There it is.

What?

No, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

There's no power.

We came all this way for a dead battery?

Come on!

We'll set up camp and wait for the machine to bring us back.

No, we won't.

It's over, James. I'm not asking.

I'd be very careful if I was you.

It's time to go home.

- I'm not going anywhere. - You'll do as I say.

Temporal signature.

Titan?

We found it.

Jesus, you're just like your mother.

Last time we went to Titan,

we had an army, and we were almost killed.

- There's only two of us. - If we don't go there now,

- we could lose it forever! - That's suicide!

Cassie, Ramse, Jennifer.

This could be our only chance.

Or we could get them all killed.

We should return to the facility and formulate a plan.

You go do that, then.

Stay down.

Jones give you that?

Say hi to your mother for me.

You little sh...

Cassie...

The Mother must eat.

I'm not hungry.

You must nourish the child

growing in your belly.

Please.

You need to keep up your strength.

Leave us.
