12 Monkeys (2015) s04e03 Episode Script

1 Imagine me and you I do I think about you day and night It's only right To think about the girl you love And hold her tight So happy together If I should call you up invest a dime And you say you belong to me and ease my mind Imagine how the world could be So very fine So happy together I can't see me loving nobody but you For all my life I hear of whispers amongst some of the Elders.
They speak of The Witness as if it were not me.
What do you say of this? We were promised the Red Forest.
- My promise.
- And it has not come.
You've lost faith.
Athan Cole was Primary.
The path to the Red Forest would have been clear to him.
Is it clear to you, Olivia? Next.
Enough.
You have their faith.
All they ask for is your foresight.
A plan in return.
I will bring them the Red Forest as promised.
Perhaps you should not have killed Athan Cole.
He was a Primary A seer.
He could have been paradoxed.
The Red Forest begun anew.
The only benefit of the past is that we can learn from it.
The Messengers were stopped by James and Cassandra, Red Forest will not come from paradoxing primaries.
There must be another more permanent option.
What option? Leave me.
The Witness has spoken.
- Your grace.
- I asked to be left alone.
We must not fear doubt.
Certainty is the faith of cowards.
I understand every order I must give to maintain the cycle.
The Messengers, The Guardians, James and Cassandra, their son, the creation of Titan all except for one.
The first.
To whom was this order given? Myself.
- Was it easy? - He didn't even notice.
Here.
- Here, I got this for you.
- I don't like it.
You should drink it, Liv.
All of it, okay? You're not gonna be able to do this much longer.
- It looks great.
- You want some mascara? What is it? It makes your eyes look pretty.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
You don't need that.
- Huh.
- So beautiful.
- Oh? - Oh.
- Ah, all right, sister.
- All right.
Which way you going Billy Can I go too Which way you going Billy Can I go with you I really love you Billy And all this time I thought you loved me Billy And you were mine I'm gonna miss you Billy It's all right.
We're gonna get out of here.
Together.
Olivia! Take this.
I'll distract them.
I know where to find you.
Olivia! Where is she? Ready when you are, Olivia.
You're pregnant.
What? Do you know who I am? No.
Should I? How far along are you? None of your business.
Looks like three to four months.
- Who's the father? - Leave me alone.
I once found myself in a similar situation.
Pregnant.
In a place that wasn't safe for me or my child.
Seems I can't run far enough.
I wish this part would just end.
It will.
Later, you might miss it.
The bad parts are all I have left to remember my son.
At least then, he was a part of me.
Did he die? I'm not sure.
I'm sorry.
My mother wants something for mine.
Something I don't.
She believes something I don't.
And she wants me to make a terrible choice.
And it's only a matter of time before she gets me.
I have nowhere else to go.
What are you doing? It's a pressure point.
It'll help with the nausea.
What does she want with your child? Something wrong.
The army of the 12 Monkeys.
How do you know about them? We have a history.
I know what they're capable of.
- Of what you're capable of.
- You don't know me.
I need you to prove that to me.
Tell me why you're here.
Your time has come.
Your time has come, sweetling.
Don't be afraid.
Our symbol in the ancient script.
The number 12, mirrored.
The end And the beginning.
The Witness wants to meet you, Olivia.
It is the greatest of honors.
Drink.
You are walking through a red forest.
And the grass is tall.
My sweet, tell me.
What did the Witness command of you? Why? Why? Why does he ask this of me? I don't understand why.
Do you doubt the Witness? Listen to me.
You don't have to become anything you don't want to be.
We can change things for you.
What do you mean? I want to help you.
I have no need for sacrifice.
No desire for children.
Why would I ask myself this? This cycle These endless loops, we call them the Great Djinn.
No beginning and no end.
Unbreakable.
This memory is merely proof of an order you will give.
I remember.
Cassandra Railly.
She spoke of being pregnant.
Losing a child.
The chronology doesn't make sense in her timeline.
She's dead.
Are you certain? You.
Your fortune is remarkable.
No, no, no.
I didn't get lucky.
I got left behind.
Tell me, Ms.
Goines.
Where is James Cole? London metro is arriving on 144.
Ms.
Goines, you are on foreign soil in a time of plague.
Hunted.
Cornered.
Alone.
I'm not alone.
Wait! Oh, my God! I can't believe that worked! I was only, like, 30% sure! Could you have made that any harder on me? Oh, no.
No.
Come on.
Time to go.
Wait.
This isn't yours.
It's It is now.
I think Athan always knew it was a one-way trip.
All he wanted to do was save you.
Well, he did.
- Are you okay? - That was a while ago for me.
Which Cole are you? The last one I'm ever gonna be.
My friends have been calling me Future Asshole.
Listen, you need to find the other me.
Your Cole.
A lot's gonna happen.
It has to for me to get here.
He's looking for you.
Tracked you all the way here.
He'll be by the Charles Bridge tomorrow.
Sun up.
One last thing.
Get him a cheeseburger.
Mmm.
Why did Cassie leave? Well, after everything, everyone we lost, she, uh She just felt like she needed to do something.
But you didn't go with her? I needed to find you.
Why did you draw this? Athan and I, both of us, kept seeing this.
And there were tons of voices Are tons of voices.
And then I found this Ouroboros puzzle-y doodad type thing.
And I stole it 'cause I think it's meant for me.
So, where is it? Bonham.
See? Told you I could find him.
This is the 19th Bonham.
- Hello? - Give me the Just give me the phone.
I hear you're looking for me.
Well, that depends who this is.
James Cole.
Tell Ms.
Goines I'll be waiting for you both apropos at the beginning.
Where did they go? I don't know.
I don't care.
You know why? 'Cause neither do they.
You were right.
Everything I am was wasted on them.
- Find them.
- How? If you're the Witness, tell me how.
God damn it, show yourself.
Talk to me.
Show me how.
Please.
Show yourself.
You are my future.
We are the Witness.
- We are.
- Help me, then.
You are weak.
You have forgotten who you were.
Who you are.
Our enemies survive in our past.
An unbreakable cycle.
The promise of a Red Forest is our promise.
I can't see the path.
Only primaries can see the puzzle from above.
We're not Primary.
You were not born Primary.
But you can become it.
Titan has a purpose.
What you're about to endeavor has never been done before.
Opening your mind to the timestream like this could be fatal.
This will be.
There can be no answers no plan until I truly witness.
You will need a substantial amount of life support.
Oxygen, adrenaline, blood filtration, and neural enhancement.
I had this modified.
It seems appropriate.
Begin.
I am the Witness.
For I see, have seen, and will see.
I was a thing in a box.
I was given a purpose.
But I failed.
My enemies live.
Why? My son's life was wasted.
Your child's doesn't have to be.
They can have a purpose.
Purpose.
What purpose? Titan is unfinished.
But it functions.
Not as it was intended.
What did you witness? The end of the great cycle.
I know what must be done.
Kirschner.
Let's go.
Your mother's here.
I guess a change isn't in the cards.
Maybe this is a second chance.
Come, my darling.
We're going home.
How do you even know he's gonna be here? Because this is the beginning.
Look.
How we swing.
Back and forth, back and forth, like a grand-daddy clock.
You know, with the right paperwork and format, catchphrases can be proprietary.
Something my grandmother used to say in moments like these.
I like her style.
She was dear.
And good.
But not all those like her are.
Some seek darkness with their gift.
Some fear it even within themselves.
Look, I know I should be used to this, but I'm gonna ask you anyway.
How do you know me? A story.
Handed down over generations by my ancestors.
Seers who foresaw the end of the world and the man they believed could save it.
You're not Primary.
You don't talk the talk.
Well, not everything is passed down.
Some things die out.
And then all you're left with are prophecy, I suppose.
Outlandish predictions about mushroom clouds, men walking on the moon, then a plague and an apocalypse.
I had long ago dismissed them as the ravings of a madwoman.
Imagine my surprise when the world started dying.
And then someone you came for that.
An object my family was sworn to protect.
What is it? A puzzle made for you by Primaries long ago.
I'm afraid the fate of everything depends on you solving it, Mr.
Cole.
That is, if you can.
You.
Target practice? You still sticking with that? - Can I go? - You assaulted a cop.
I was attacked.
I ain't gonna hold a woman for defending herself.
But for your sake, you should really stop playing with guns.
Got it.
I'm trying to help you.
To protect you.
I'm your mother.
You will listen to me.
You will obey me.
Stay here.
You.
You can't have her child.
All I wanna do is keep my daughter safe.
She told me everything.
I'm not trying to take her child from her.
I told her to defy the Witness.
What? Do you doubt the Witness? I do.
For 26 years, I obeyed his orders.
And yet, no Red Forest.
The only salvation in my cycle has been my children.
My son and my daughter.
I won't let you sacrifice your child for him.
You've lost faith.
She chose to go out in the world and have a child for the Witness.
I know where to find you.
No one can know where to find me.
Olivia! Her devotion to the Witness runs deeper than I ever could have imagined.
She chose to leave.
I tried to help her.
Mother.
Dr.
Railly.
What is this? The Witness.
So, how do we open it? I was told you would know.
All right, Jimbo.
Bedtime for Bonzo.
Keep going.
I know there's more.
Yeah, there's a whole ending here.
What's that? Let's see here.
"There once was a serpent who only traveled one direction.
Always forward and never back.
" "Until one day the serpent came upon a" "Demon.
" For so long this memory seemed impossible.
But I was wrong.
I see now what I couldn't before.
The future I sought was given to me in the past by you.
You said that my child should have a purpose.
And so it shall.
I should have killed you.
But you couldn't have.
I've seen it all now, Cassandra.
This beautiful cycle, unbreakable until its final moment.
The Red Forest.
With us.
You and I, together.
"The demon cursed the serpent, driving it insane, "causing it to eat its own tail.
The serpent was blind.
" No, there is no cycle.
No loop with you and me.
I'll prove it to you.
One bullet left.
Kill me.
"But a few "Those who were seers "Knew the serpent's true path.
So they created a weapon to destroy the demon.
" Do you want to know your future? You will pull that trigger.
Every fiber of your being is telling you to defy me.
"They hid the weapon in the snake's den, where he waited for his madness to end.
" "But it never did.
" There is nothing more powerful than fate.
Which is why Athan was unable to defy his.
His death was violent but mercifully quick.
"The Seers soon discovered that the only one who could wield the weapon Was the demon itself.
" Stop.
You can't take me, Cassandra.
Not with all these Messenger genes.
I remember this day.
I was running.
Then I blacked out.
It was meant to be.
Better run.
I'm coming for you, Olivia.
I'm counting on it.
"So the serpent was doomed" to circle in madness forever.
" How did you know that story? - I didn't write it.
- Who did? Your mother.
Because he is James Cole.
Besides the name, they spoke of something else.
The Djinn.
The endless cycle.
I believe you're now on your way to breaking it.
What is it? It's a time and a place.
A new mission.
You're a hard man to kill.
It is my gift.
It is my curse.
When I traveled the wastelands after the plague, I heard tales of the great scavenger army.
The West 7.
You had power.
You were feared.
You led.
And then? - Her.
- Tsk tsk tsk.
If you're gonna take a piss at me before you slit my throat I'll help you.
I got soft.
I thought I was part of something bigger.
She gave that to me.
And then she took it away.
And her BF? Well, once upon a time, I took that piece of shit under my wing.
Like a brother.
He had a habit of killing those.
So even if I knew where they ran to, where-slash-when you could find them, I wouldn't tell you.
Because if anyone anyone is gonna hunt them, it's me.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
You're up.
It is time, my son.
My journey ends, but yours begins.
The Army of the 12 Monkeys will show you your path.
Have faith that the Witness has spoken.
That one day you, my son, will set things right.
We have work to finish.
Which way you going Billy Can I go too What do you ask of me? You have a purpose.
You'll have a child.
Why? For me.
- I really love you Billy - And then you will lead them.
And all this time I thought you loved me Billy And you were mine I'm gonna miss you Billy You will fear nothing.
Every burden, every sacrifice shall serve me.
I'm hurting so bad Billy I can't help crying You are my whole, babe I will question nothing.
And I will protect you.
I will ensure my own creation and the creation of others for the great Djinn.
Find Cassandra Railly.
Prepare her.
Which way you going Billy Who are you? Our beautiful, unbreakable cycle.
We will complete Titan.
And then, at long last, our Red Forest.
I won't forget you Billy I'll stay your wife You are my whole, babe Never shall we doubt again.
My heart and my soul babe For there is nothing more powerful than fate.
The Witness has spoken.
Cassie.
I tried to kill Olivia.
But I couldn't.
It's what she wanted.
We're stuck in a loop.
An endless cycle.
I know.
And we're gonna break it.
