12 Monkeys (2015) s03e02 Episode Script
Guardians
1 [eerie music.]
[music intensifies.]
[bell tolls.]
Where am I right now? Somewhere warm safe with people who care about me? Nope.
Not me.
[Maurice Chevalier's "I Love Paris".]
Some of us got left behind.
So what do you do when you're stranded in the wrong place? The wrong time? What do you do when not even God'll help you? I love Paris in the summer You accept that the only one you can rely on is yourself.
I love Paris every moment So how do you send a message to the future? How does E.
T.
phone home? Of the year Why, oh, why do I love Paris? You need a venue.
Huh? You got to make a splash big enough to hit 'em a hundred years from now.
[laughter.]
Make 'em laugh.
[laughter, applause.]
Whoa.
Make 'em cry.
I love Paris every moment [gasping.]
Give 'em what they want.
Every moment of the year [audience gasps.]
Just when you've got 'em right in the palm of your hand [shrieking.]
Why, oh, why do I love Paris? You hit 'em with the goods [vomits.]
[cheers and applause.]
Your message.
- Your pièce de résistance.
- [shrieking.]
The story you were born to tell.
[gagging.]
[cries.]
Blood! Blood! Blood! [croaking.]
[man clapping slowly.]
- [bell tolls.]
- - Oh! - [muttering in French.]
- So I can go home.
- [door closes.]
[somber music.]
I hope you guys are okay.
[door opens.]
[dark music.]
[whispering.]
You Such a gift for prophecy.
You've been busy, Primary.
I knew you were coming to Paris.
I could see it.
Horsemen without horses.
Paradox in a box.
Where is it? Saw us in your head, did you? Well, that's a terrible thing.
You're not supposed to be here.
Neither are you.
[grunts.]
[muttering.]
[tense music.]
[yelps.]
[panting.]
Who's with you? No one.
Good.
[gunshots.]
Oh! Jennifer [gasping.]
Finally! [dramatic music.]
- Okay - Jennifer, I have no idea what you're saying.
- Slow down.
- Slow? Things have been pretty slow, Cole.
- Been a while.
- We thought you were in Titan.
This is how we found you.
Tomorrow you get pegged for your boss's murder.
"Obscure Actress J.
H.
Bond Murders Theater Owner.
" Obscure? What happened to you in Titan? Titan? Whoosh! 1917! Bombs, bullets, balloons, baguettes! - Hey hey, hey! - Alliteration! What about Cassie? I don't know.
What about Cassie? Deacon tried to save me.
Ramse! Did you see what happened to Ramse? Think, Jennifer.
Five years! I've been here, alone, by myself for five years, and you're asking about Cassie, about Ramse? What about me? What about, "Hey, hey, Jennifer, really missed you.
"How did you survive World War I?" Hey, I'm really glad you asked, because I was a prisoner of war! - Jennifer - And you, Grandma Time! - Excuse me? - Check your mail? Been sending you messages, leaving clues! I even wrote an album! Hmm? "Délivrez-moi de France" "Rescue me from France.
" "Toujours en 1921" "Still in 1921.
" And my personal favorite "Jones, pourquoi est-ce si long?" "Jones, what's taking so long?" I mean, it rhymes in French, obviously.
Apparently this eluded us.
Well, it was a big hit here.
Why on Earth did you use a stage name? So they wouldn't find me.
This is why I came to Paris.
I saw them.
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse with a paradox in a box.
Para-box.
[foreboding music.]
This is splinter technology.
This "paradox in a box" what is it? I don't know.
Bad news, though.
It's like a weapon or something.
Once again, Causality's Fool finds herself entangled in our enemy's conspiracy.
Wait, me? So what are you thinking? Causality's Fool? This technology he possesses, coupled with Miss Goines' visions something is happening of profound importance with the Army of the 12 Monkeys.
So if this asshole is one of her four horsemen, where's the other three? [watch ticking.]
[door opens.]
What is it? - [door closes.]
- Mr.
Hockley is overdue.
Said something about going to the theater.
[dark music.]
[groaning.]
[shrieking.]
[wailing.]
[baby crying.]
[gasps.]
[moans softly.]
Where's my son? The Witness is safe.
Why was I sedated? Your safety.
His.
I want to see him.
What need would that satisfy? He's mine.
If the Mother wishes to meet her son, I shall take her to him.
[big-band music playing on phonograph.]
What is this? Your son.
[chilling music.]
What is all this? I said I wanted to see my son.
This is your son.
His history our history.
This place, these things this is who your son will become.
No, he's a he's just a child.
The Witness, your son, is a child, a man, a word our savior.
Present now, yet also in the past.
He's all of this simultaneously.
He's not here, is he? The man.
Only the child.
But soon, the Witness will return to Titan and lead the faithful to salvation.
The Red Forest.
But some here have lost faith.
Who? [solemn music.]
I'm offering help.
A time approaches a chance for you to leave Titan.
- When? - Soon.
I'm not leaving without him.
They will kill you.
The Witness is no longer inside you.
Your life is not as precious as it once was.
Die here, or prepare yourself for what must come.
Please.
All I'm asking for is a moment.
Take me to my son.
Come with me.
Wow, this play is boring.
This is decades beyond me.
If I'd known that he was wearing this, I would've aimed for the head.
Jonesy, you need to project! I can't hear you! I'm telling you, I was wearing the future me was wearing one of these things.
Way to turn your back to the audience.
Here's the power core.
Navigation.
- Temporal disbursement conduits - I get it.
It's cool.
No, it's not that.
This changes the game entirely.
Can we go home now? How do I find his three buddies? Uh, splinter back 30 minutes ago and ask him.
Well, we can't do that because we'd paradox.
So why don't you summon up some Primary powers and help us out? - Help you out? - Yeah.
All I ever do is help you, Cole.
[sighs.]
- Uh, J.
D.
Peoples - Look - The Night Room uh - it's not that hard.
- Ramse at Project Splinter.
- We need to figure out - Not releasing the plague.
- Would you shut up and listen to me? Shut up and listen? No, you shut up and listen! What, are you barking at me because I don't know where Cassie is? 'Cause we didn't come all the way to 1922 just to Rescue me.
I know.
[sighs.]
So? Why did you come here, then? What do you need? Something up here? How about I go get my sketchpad, and I'll scribble out a little bit more of my sanity for you? Miss Goines I thought I was part of a team, not just the Primary that you outsource for all your time-travel technical support.
I have one last show for you.
And it is a good one.
It's called "Gone Girl.
" Jennifer! We have more important things to contend with.
[door closes.]
This device on her drawing, this "paradox in a box" could be a whole new way to destroy time.
How do we figure out where he came from? I found an ID on him.
It's 1922.
He didn't have to carry one the overthinking of a time-traveler.
This was Monsieur Hockley.
And now we have his address.
What about Jennifer? The enemy is here, doing God knows what with this technology.
If they can do what I think they can, then we have to find them immediately.
[somber music.]
[thunder rumbling.]
When are we leaving? First light.
We have to be careful.
We're in Exile territory.
We should be leaving in the dark.
Exiles are nocturnal.
We don't have the numbers if they spot us.
Been a lot of months.
Too many of your goddamn stops.
Too many of your shitty detours, right? I know the journey cross-country's been arduous.
But your boy awaits you on the other side.
[thunder rumbles.]
My boy? He's not a boy.
He's a man.
You found him 23 years ago.
You had my boy for decades.
I've been protecting him because you could not.
What'd you say? What does killing me now get you? Not where either of us want to be.
You better not be lying.
Your son is safe.
Patience.
What happened? They found us.
Two days ago.
We didn't want to radio in case they were monitoring.
Sam! He's in there.
He was on guard with the others.
I don't think he's gonna survive.
The Witness's men hit us hard before we drove them off.
[indistinct chatter.]
Sam? [sighs.]
[mournful music.]
I just realized you will always be ageless to me.
[exhales sharply.]
I didn't know where you were.
I was where I was meant to be.
Olivia found me in 2023.
She should have brought you to me.
She couldn't have.
You were 19 in 2023.
I would've been a burden.
What are you talking about? You're not a burden.
She protected me kept me safe from the Witness best she could.
He's been hunting us.
We've all outlived our cycles.
Hey.
Hey.
You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna go to Jones.
I can undo all of this.
I don't want you to fix this.
The world having to die so I could live You and I weren't meant to be like this.
You're the only thing, the only thing in my life that I don't hate myself for.
You understand that? You're my boy.
The only thing.
You have to stop the Witness.
Be the Traveler again.
Save this world.
Me with it.
Okay.
Olivia she knows how.
Help me.
I'm dying, Dad.
You got to help me.
I'm not gonna make it.
I can't.
Please.
Please, Dad.
Let me go.
I can't.
Buddy, I can't.
Please.
Make it stop the pain.
There you go.
There you go.
You're my boy.
It'll be okay.
It'll be okay.
It's okay.
Shhh.
[sobbing softly.]
[whispering.]
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's your fault.
I told you the Witness has been hunting us.
Do not shoot! Stand down! [suspenseful music.]
This anger use it.
Help me stop the Witness once and for all.
I know how.
I know how.
[watch ticking.]
I checked the theater district.
Most haven't opened yet.
No sign of Mr.
Hockley.
Not in the taverns either.
It's entirely unlike him.
We've been discovered.
We need to know by whom and then do what must be done.
[indistinct chatter.]
[suspenseful music.]
Well, shit.
[sighing.]
We're close.
It says it's right up here.
Here, this building matches the address on the identification.
Down there.
Unit 160.
[door opens.]
Shit.
You're not supposed to be here.
Hey, lady! This is my distraction dance.
Now! No! [tense music.]
- You're hit? - Twice.
Cole, there's one more.
Go get the box.
Go! [grunts, coughs.]
It only takes one of Four.
You're sure there were four? Yeah.
Go help Jones.
I'd like to speak to you all about devotion.
We've been promised a beginning through an end.
For decades, many of us have lived on Titan Why are you taking me back here? - Outside of everything.
- This Guardians of the Red Forest.
is your moment.
But like the Witness himself, we are all products of the Great Jinn.
And despite that enormous complexity, we are present now.
Let's begin.
What is this? [doors creaking.]
[ominous music.]
[baby crying.]
As we prepare for the Witness's return to us the end, the story of the child begins.
His cycle.
And the child, like the man, shall be raised through time so he knows the world in its entirety and may return to us one day to lead us to salvation [crying continues.]
The Forest of Red.
[big-band music playing on phonograph.]
[baby crying.]
[dramatic music.]
Magdalena, it is to you we entrust the profound responsibility to guard and raise the child through time.
No.
[music continues on phonograph.]
[Cole groans, coughing.]
[dramatic music.]
[baby crying.]
[baby crying.]
[device clicks loudly.]
[devices beeping, whirring.]
No.
The Witness is safe.
All: The Witness is safe.
You will see him again.
We honor time with patience.
- James Cole.
- [gasps.]
Don't worry.
You're not going to die at least not today.
Who are you? Oh, we've never met.
And now [chest plate whirring.]
We never will.
[baby crying.]
[both exhale sharply.]
[grunts.]
What the hell just happened? This is exactly where we started here yesterday.
They reset our timeline.
[groans.]
They're gone.
[panting.]
[man clapping.]
We're here to take you home, Jennifer.
I'm sorry it's been so long.
We need you.
I need you.
[calm music.]
That's much better.
[chuckles.]
[machine humming.]
[gasping.]
[vocalizing wildly.]
Hi, old girl.
Hiya, scientists.
[giggles.]
Dear God.
She's back.
What were they? Protectors.
"Guardians" seems to be a more accurate description.
Let's go back earlier.
Find them.
We can't.
They possess portable splinter machines.
In the moment of our altercation, I believe that lone survivor went back in time and altered the timeline.
In four months, James Cole will arrive and discover us here.
You need to alter our course immediately.
Leave Paris.
Take the Witness to another point in time.
We will change what we must.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
[foreboding music.]
We leave Paris immediately.
In an instant, it was as if they were never there.
Neither were we.
Their reset of time splintered us back to where we started.
These Guardians are unstoppable.
If they see us coming, they will immediately go back and rewrite their timeline And ours.
So what is it they were protecting? [baby crying.]
A child.
[crying continues.]
Why would the Army of the 12 Monkeys be protecting a child? I don't know.
But in her prophecy, Miss Goines described it as as a weapon.
That'll be all.
[indistinct chatter.]
I'm torn between sending her back to 2016 and keeping her here.
She's both an asset and a danger.
I think I'll leave that one up to you.
[dramatic music.]
[sighs.]
Hey.
So listen, uh about Paris, I just wanted to say that I, uh I know.
You've lost Cassie.
Before Titan, I, um I did something.
Undid it.
I didn't realize until afterwards that I should have made her part of that decision.
I have to live with that.
And now all I can do is make sure I don't make that same mistake with anybody else, so I'm asking you.
You want to go home to 2016? Or do you want to stay here and help us? It's up to you.
Do I want to go home to lattes, spin class, and await the inevitable apocalypse or stay and Be part of the team.
[squealing happily.]
[laughing.]
I had a feeling you were gonna say that.
All right.
I'm gonna, uh I'm gonna find you a bunk, okay? - And some some new clothes.
- Top.
You look like a serving wench.
Oh, by the way you were never forgotten.
Hannah even kept your, uh your tortoise, Terry, alive.
Damn thing eats better than we do.
I know how you're gonna find her.
How? Can you feel it? What? Cassie.
She's in there.
Everything, everyone is in there.
As long as we have this we'll never be alone.
[alarm blaring.]
Perimeter breach.
- What's going on? - Holy shit.
Cole!
[music intensifies.]
[bell tolls.]
Where am I right now? Somewhere warm safe with people who care about me? Nope.
Not me.
[Maurice Chevalier's "I Love Paris".]
Some of us got left behind.
So what do you do when you're stranded in the wrong place? The wrong time? What do you do when not even God'll help you? I love Paris in the summer You accept that the only one you can rely on is yourself.
I love Paris every moment So how do you send a message to the future? How does E.
T.
phone home? Of the year Why, oh, why do I love Paris? You need a venue.

[laughter.]
Make 'em laugh.
[laughter, applause.]
Whoa.
Make 'em cry.
I love Paris every moment [gasping.]
Give 'em what they want.
Every moment of the year [audience gasps.]
Just when you've got 'em right in the palm of your hand [shrieking.]
Why, oh, why do I love Paris? You hit 'em with the goods [vomits.]
[cheers and applause.]
Your message.
- Your pièce de résistance.
- [shrieking.]
The story you were born to tell.
[gagging.]
[cries.]
Blood! Blood! Blood! [croaking.]
[man clapping slowly.]
- [bell tolls.]
- - Oh! - [muttering in French.]
- So I can go home.
- [door closes.]
[somber music.]
I hope you guys are okay.
[door opens.]
[dark music.]
[whispering.]
You Such a gift for prophecy.
You've been busy, Primary.
I knew you were coming to Paris.
I could see it.
Horsemen without horses.
Paradox in a box.
Where is it? Saw us in your head, did you? Well, that's a terrible thing.
You're not supposed to be here.
Neither are you.
[grunts.]
[muttering.]
[tense music.]
[yelps.]
[panting.]
Who's with you? No one.
Good.
[gunshots.]
Oh! Jennifer [gasping.]
Finally! [dramatic music.]
- Okay - Jennifer, I have no idea what you're saying.
- Slow down.
- Slow? Things have been pretty slow, Cole.
- Been a while.
- We thought you were in Titan.
This is how we found you.
Tomorrow you get pegged for your boss's murder.

Five years! I've been here, alone, by myself for five years, and you're asking about Cassie, about Ramse? What about me? What about, "Hey, hey, Jennifer, really missed you.
"How did you survive World War I?" Hey, I'm really glad you asked, because I was a prisoner of war! - Jennifer - And you, Grandma Time! - Excuse me? - Check your mail? Been sending you messages, leaving clues! I even wrote an album! Hmm? "Délivrez-moi de France" "Rescue me from France.

You're the only thing, the only thing in my life that I don't hate myself for.
You understand that? You're my boy.
The only thing.
You have to stop the Witness.
Be the Traveler again.
Save this world.
Me with it.
Okay.
Olivia she knows how.
Help me.
I'm dying, Dad.
You got to help me.
I'm not gonna make it.
I can't.
Please.
Please, Dad.
Let me go.
I can't.
Buddy, I can't.
Please.
Make it stop the pain.
There you go.
There you go.
You're my boy.
It'll be okay.
It'll be okay.
It's okay.
Shhh.

And the child, like the man, shall be raised through time so he knows the world in its entirety and may return to us one day to lead us to salvation [crying continues.]
The Forest of Red.
[big-band music playing on phonograph.]
[baby crying.]
[dramatic music.]
Magdalena, it is to you we entrust the profound responsibility to guard and raise the child through time.
No.
[music continues on phonograph.]
[Cole groans, coughing.]
[dramatic music.]
[baby crying.]
[baby crying.]
[device clicks loudly.]
[devices beeping, whirring.]
No.
The Witness is safe.
All: The Witness is safe.
You will see him again.
We honor time with patience.
- James Cole.
- [gasps.]
Don't worry.
You're not going to die at least not today.
Who are you? Oh, we've never met.
And now [chest plate whirring.]
We never will.
[baby crying.]
[both exhale sharply.]
[grunts.]
What the hell just happened? This is exactly where we started here yesterday.
They reset our timeline.
[groans.]
They're gone.
[panting.]
[man clapping.]
We're here to take you home, Jennifer.
I'm sorry it's been so long.
We need you.
I need you.
[calm music.]
That's much better.
[chuckles.]
[machine humming.]
[gasping.]
[vocalizing wildly.]
Hi, old girl.
Hiya, scientists.
[giggles.]
Dear God.
She's back.
What were they? Protectors.
"Guardians" seems to be a more accurate description.
Let's go back earlier.
Find them.
We can't.
They possess portable splinter machines.
In the moment of our altercation, I believe that lone survivor went back in time and altered the timeline.
In four months, James Cole will arrive and discover us here.
You need to alter our course immediately.
Leave Paris.
Take the Witness to another point in time.
We will change what we must.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
[foreboding music.]
We leave Paris immediately.
In an instant, it was as if they were never there.
Neither were we.
Their reset of time splintered us back to where we started.
These Guardians are unstoppable.
If they see us coming, they will immediately go back and rewrite their timeline And ours.
So what is it they were protecting? [baby crying.]
A child.
[crying continues.]
Why would the Army of the 12 Monkeys be protecting a child? I don't know.
But in her prophecy, Miss Goines described it as as a weapon.
That'll be all.
[indistinct chatter.]
I'm torn between sending her back to 2016 and keeping her here.
She's both an asset and a danger.
I think I'll leave that one up to you.
[dramatic music.]
[sighs.]
Hey.
So listen, uh about Paris, I just wanted to say that I, uh I know.
You've lost Cassie.
Before Titan, I, um I did something.
Undid it.
I didn't realize until afterwards that I should have made her part of that decision.
I have to live with that.
And now all I can do is make sure I don't make that same mistake with anybody else, so I'm asking you.
You want to go home to 2016? Or do you want to stay here and help us? It's up to you.
Do I want to go home to lattes, spin class, and await the inevitable apocalypse or stay and Be part of the team.
[squealing happily.]
[laughing.]
I had a feeling you were gonna say that.
All right.
I'm gonna, uh I'm gonna find you a bunk, okay? - And some some new clothes.
- Top.
You look like a serving wench.
Oh, by the way you were never forgotten.
Hannah even kept your, uh your tortoise, Terry, alive.
Damn thing eats better than we do.
I know how you're gonna find her.
How? Can you feel it? What? Cassie.
She's in there.
Everything, everyone is in there.
As long as we have this we'll never be alone.
[alarm blaring.]
Perimeter breach.
- What's going on? - Holy shit.
Cole!
