ECHOING GUNSHOT
WOMAN: Noooooooo!
TANNOY: Flight 784 for San Francisco
is ready for boarding at inmate number 87645,
Cole, James.
27631, Johnson...
Jose! Psst!
Jose, what's going on?
Bad news, man.
Volunteers? Yeah. And they said your name.
Hey, maybe they'll give you a pardon, man.
Yeah - that's why no volunteers come back. They all get a pardon.
Some come back, I heard.
Please put me back! I didn't volunteer!
They got 'em up on the seventh floor. They hide 'em up there.
They're all messed up in the head.
You don't know that. Nobody's seen 'em.
It's a rumour. Nobody knows that.
I don't believe that.
Good luck, man.
Volunteer duty.
I didn't volunteer.
You causing trouble again?
No. No trouble.
These are the instructions for the first time probe.
Listen carefully.
They must be followed exactly.
All openings of your garment must be sealed completely.
If the integrity of the suit is compromised in any way,
if the fabric is torn or a zipper not closed,
readmittance will be denied.

Please place blood sample in receptacle provided.
There will be socialisation classes at 0700
for citizens cited for deviations 23A and 96A
per subchapter 6 of the Permanent Emergency Code.
James Cole, cleared from quarantine.
Thank you. You two wait outside.
He has a history, Doctor. Violence,
antisocial 6, repeated violations of the Permanent Emergency Code,
insolence, defiance,
disregard of authority.
Doing 25 to life.
I don't think he'll hurt us.
You aren't going to hurt us, are you, Mr Cole?
No, sir.
Why don't you sit down, Mr Cole?
We appreciate your volunteering.
You're a very good observer, Cole.
Thank you.
We have a very advanced program. Something very different.
A chance to reduce your sentence.
And play a major role in returning the human race to Earth's surface.
We want tough-minded people. Strong mentally.
We've had some misfortunes with...unstable types.
For a man in your position, an opportunity.
Not to volunteer could be a real mistake.
Definitely a mistake.
Yet among the myriad microwaves, the infrared messages
the gigabytes of ones and zeros,
we find words, byte-sized now,
tinier even than science,
lurking in some vague electricity,
but if we but listen,
we hear the solitary voice of that poet telling us...
BEEPING
Yesterday this day's madness did prepare...
MORE BEEPING
..tomorrow's silence, Triumph or despair.
Drink, for you know not whence you came nor why.
Drink, for you know not why you go Nor where...
SHOUTING AND ARGUING
..wandering round in nothing but underpants
and one of those plastic see-through raincoats.
So they ask the guy real nice for some ID.
He starts screaming about viruses.
Totally irrational, disoriented,
doesn't know what day it is, all that stuff.
All they got was his name.
So they figure he's stoned,
some psychotic episode.
He was tested for drugs? Negative for drugs.
But he took on five cops like he was dusted to the eyeballs.
No drugs - you believe that?
He's in restraints.
I got two police officers in hospital. Yeah, he's in restraints.
And the medic gave him enough stellazine to kill a horse.
Look at him - rarin' to go.
That explains the bruises, I guess. The struggle.
Yeah. You want to go in there, examine him, what?
Yes, please.
This all you have? You ran it through your system?
No match-up. No licence, no prints, no warrants, nothing.
Please. I should go in with you.
No, thanks. That won't be necessary.
OK. He'll be right here, just in case.
Mr Cole, my name is Kathryn Railly. I'm a psychiatrist.
I work for the County, not the police,
so my concern is for your wellbeing.
Need to go! Need to go!
I can't make the police let you go. But I do want to help you.
So I... I need you to tell me exactly what happened tonight.
Can you do that, James?
May I call you James?
James... Nobody ever calls me that.
Have you been a patient at County?
Have I seen you someplace?
Not possible.
I need to go! I need... I'm supposed to be gathering information.
What kind of information?
It won't help you.
It won't help anyone. It won't change anything.
James...do you know why you're here?
Because I'm a good observer. I have a tough mind.
I see. You don't remember assaulting police officers...
Why am I chained?! Why are these chains on me?!
You've been in an institution before.
A hospital? No. I need to go!
Have you been in prison, James?
Underground.
Hiding?
This air... Such wonderful air...
What's wonderful about the air, James?
Very fresh. No germs.
Why... Why do you think there aren't any germs in the air?
This is October, right?
April.
What year is this?
What year do you think it is?
1996.
That's the future. You think you live in the future?
1996 is the past.
No, 1996 is the future.
This is 1990.
RAUCOUS CONVERSATION
Shut up, ladies.
Where are you taking me?
South of France, buddy. Fancy hotel.
I can't go to France! I need to make a call.
Zip it, daisy. You fooled the shrink, but you don't fool us.
Let's go, ace.
Come on, come on.
Now, let me see your head, Jimbo. See if you got any creepy-crawlies.
I need to make a telephone call.
Take it up with the doctor, Jimbo. No calls till the doctor says.
It's very important!
What you gotta do, Jimbo, is take it easy!
Relax into things. Then we'll all get along fine. You just relax.
CARTOON BLARES
Let's go. C'mon, let's go.
Hey, Goines!
Yo, Goines!
Yo, Jeffrey!
Goines!
What?
Look here. This here's James.
Do me a favour. Show him around,
tell him the TV rules... OK?
How much you gonna pay me? It's your job.
$5,000, my man. I'll wire a cheque to your account as usual.
$5,000! $5,000!
$5,000.
I'll give him the de luxe mental hospital tour.
Kid around, makes 'em feel good.
You're the prisoners - no, you're the guards.
Now you got it.
OK, OK... It's all in good fun.
Here's some games, and there's...
Get out! Get out!
He was in my chair.
Games, games.
Here's some games... Games that wanna get out.
See? More games. Games, they vegetise you.
See? Hah! If you play the games, you're taking a tranquilliser.
They give you chemical restraints, huh? Drugs!
What did they give you? Thorazine? Haldol? How much?
Learn your drugs, know your doses.
I need to make a telephone call.
That's communication with outside. Doctor's discretion! Uh-uh. Nah.
If all these nuts could just make calls,
they could ooze insanity through the cables,
infecting all the poor sane people,
wackos everywhere, plague of madness...
In fact... Jim... Very few of us here are actually mentally ill.
I'm not saying you're not. For all I know, you're...crazy as a loon.
But that's not why you're here. It's not why you're here!
You're here because of the system.
There's the TV. It's all right there!
Look, listen, kneel, pray! Commercials!
We're not productive any more. It's all automated.
What are we for then? We're consumers, Jim.
Buy a lot of stuff, you're a good citizen.
But if you don't buy stuff, what are you then? What?
Mentally ill! Fact, Jim, fact!
If you don't buy things, cars, blenders, electric sexual devices,
brain-implanted headphones,
screwdrivers, radars, voice-activated computers...
Take it easy, Jeffrey.
Be calm.
Right. That's right. You're a very attractive woman.
Hah!
If you wanna watch a particular programme, say "All My Children",
you tell the nurse the day, the time it's on,
but you have to tell her before.
This guy always requested shows that had played.
Yes. No. You have to tell her before.
He couldn't grasp that the nurse couldn't turn back time,
thank you, Einstein!
Now he was nuts. He was a fruitcake, Jim.
OK, that's it, Jeffrey.
You're gonna get a shot.
I warned you.
Right... Right, right... I got a little carried away
explaining the inner workings of the institution to Jim.
Hm? Hm?
I don't really come from outer space.
LJ Washington. He's not really from outer space.
Don't mock me, my friend.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...
Gnnn... Get out of my chair!
It's a condition of mental divergence.
I find myself on the planet Ogo...
part of an intellectual elite
preparing to subjugate the barbarian hordes on Pluto.
But though it's a fully convincing reality for me in every way,
nevertheless Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche.
I am mentally divergent,
in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities
that plague my life here.
When I stop going there, I will be well.
Are you also divergent, friend?
This is a place for crazy people.
I'm not crazy.
We don't use that term "crazy", Mr Cole.
Well, you've got some real nuts here.
I know some things that you don't know.
It'll be very difficult for you to understand it.
Hey...
I'm not gonna hurt anyone!
All right.
Look, have any of you heard of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys?
They paint this, they stencil this on buildings everywhere.
Have you seen this? Have you seen this?
Why don't you just take your time and explain from the beginning?
Right, right, it's 1990.
OK, that makes sense. They wouldn't be active yet.
Um...
OK!
Five billion people died in 1996 and 1997.
Almost the entire population of the world.
Only about 1% of us survived.
Are you going to save us, Mr Cole?
How can I? This already happened.
I can't save you. Nobody can.
I am simply gathering information
to help the people in the present trace the path of the virus.
We're not in the present now, Mr Cole?
No.
1990 is the past. This already happened. That's what I'm trying...
Mr Cole...
Mr Cole, you believe 1996 is the present, then?
No, 1996 is the past, too. Listen to me. What I...
What I... What I need to do is make a telephone call.
I can straighten this all out if I make a telephone call.
Who to? Who would straighten this out?
The scientists. They should know they sent me to the wrong time.
I can leave a voice mail message that they monitor from the present.
Can I just make one telephone call, please?
Please?
PHONE RINGS
What are you doin' in the dog bowl? Who put those Doritos in there?!
Yes?
What? Voicemail? I don't know...
Will you please stop makin' that noise!
What are you talking about?
Is this a joke? I don't know any scientists.
Dwaine... James who?
LINE GOES DEAD
It wasn't who you expected?
No. It was some lady.
She didn't know anything.
Well... maybe it was the wrong number.
No. That's why they chose me. I remember things.
James, where did you grow up?
Dr Railly...
I have a strange feeling I've met you before.
Wait - this is 1990. I'm meant to be leaving messages in 1996!
It's not the right number yet!
James, listen to me!
Noooooooo!
ECHOING GUNSHOT
It won't work.
You can't open it.
You think you can move the grille, but it's welded.
See? Told you. All the doors are locked, too.
They're protecting people from us when the people are as crazy as us.
DOOR OPENS
Do you know what crazy is? Crazy is majority rules.
Take germs, for example.
Germs?
Uh-huh. In the 18th century, no such thing. Nothing.
No-one even imagined such a thing. No sane person, anyway.
Along comes this doctor, er, er...
Semmelweiss!
Semmelweiss comes along and he's trying to convince people
that there are these teeny tiny bad things called germs
that make you sick.
He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. Is this guy crazy?
Teeny tiny invisible... What was it? Germs?
Now, cut to the 20th century.
Last week, in fact, right before I got dragged into this hellhole!
I go in to order a burger, the guy drops it on the floor.
Jim, he picks it up, wipes it, hands it to me like it was all OK.
"What about germs?" I say. He says "I don't believe in germs."
"It's just a plot they made up to sell you disinfectants and soaps."
Now, he's crazy, right?
There's no right, no wrong, there's only popular opinion.
You, you believe in germs, right?
I'm not crazy.
Of course not. You want to escape, right? That's very sane. Very sane.
I can help you. You want me to, don't you? Get you out?
You know how to get out of here?
THROATY CHUCKLE
Yes, my son!
Then why don't you?
Try to escape? Good question. Very good question. Intelligent.
Because I would be crazy to escape. I have sent out word.
I am all taken care of.
What does that mean?
I've contacted certain underlings, sub-secretaries and other minions,
who will contact my father, and when my father finds out I'm here,
he'll have them transfer me to a classy joint.
Where they treat you like a person, like a guest...
INMATES STIR
Shhh...
..with great drugs for all us nutcase, lunatic, maniac devils!
Sorry... Sorry... I got a little agitated, escape crossed my mind,
and suddenly, suddenly...
Suddenly I felt like bending the...bars,
ripping out the window frames and eating them!
Yes, eating them! And leaping, leaping, leaping!
Colonics for everyone!
You dumb assholes, I'm a mental patient - I'm supposed to act out!
Wait till you morons find out who I am!
My father will be really upset, and when he's upset, the ground shakes!
My father is God! I worship my father!
TV: These dramatic videos, secretly obtained by animal rights activists,
have aroused public indignation.
But many scientists vehemently disagree...
Torture and experiment.
We're all monkeys.
They hurt you?
Not as bad as what they're doing to the Easter bunny.
Look at them. They're just asking for it.
Maybe the human race deserves to be wiped out.
Wiping out the human race? It's a great idea! It's great!
But more a long-term thing. First let's focus on more immediate goals.
I didn't say a word about you-know-what.
What are you talking about?
Your plan. Emancipation.
What are you writing? You, er, a reporter?
It's private.
A law suit? It's private.
Gonna sue 'em?
Yo, Jimbo, time for your meds.
TV: Take a chance. Live the moment.
Sunshine.
Gorgeous beaches.
The Florida Keys.
We return you to the Marx Brothers in Monkey Business.
Monkey business! Err!
Monkey business!
Fetch!
THROATY CHUCKLE: Get it?
Monkey. Mon-key. Mon... key!!
What?
Shhh! If you see a bearish future,
consider the changes sweeping the world
and the opportunities they offer.
The opportunities they offer! Ooh, they really dosed you, Jim.
Danger, Will Robinson, danger!
You gotta get it together, focus, focus!
Remember the plan. I did my part.
What? Shhh!
Not what, when.
When?
Yes, when. Now! Now, Jim!
Now! Yes, now!
Buy! Sell! Stocks! Bonds! Purchase! Sell! Yes!
No more monkey business!
No...more...
monkey business!
Yes! Enhance your portfolio!
$500! I got $500! I'm insured!
Yeah! A window of opportunity is opening now!
Now's the time to seize the moment! The moment!
Now's the time to seize the day!
Jeffrey! Quit playing the fool!
Mastercard! Visa!
The key to...
happiness!
Jim, seize the moment!
Jeffrey! Come back here!
Jeffrey!
Aaaaaaarrrhhhh!
Go, Jim!
Get out! Out!
Come here! Jeffrey! Jeffrey!
The future can be yours!
Last chance! Last chance!
Last chance! Last!
Ow!
Best place to go would be Florida.
The Keys are lovely this time of year.
MARX BROTHERS ON TV
Two's not working today.
Use one.
He's not responding to treatment...
Kathryn, this was in my box. But I suspect it wasn't meant for me.
"You are the most bootiful woman I have ever sin.
"You live in a bootiful world, but you don't know it.
"You have freedom, sunshine, air you can breethe..."
James Cole, right?
"I would do anything to stay here, but I must leave.
"Please help me!"
OK, OK, OK. Poor man.
Kathryn, James Cole is one of yours, right?
He eloped. Last seen, he was up on two.
Shit!
ALARM BELL RINGS
We have to know what's there.
Doctor, we have a visitor.
Um, may I help you? Excuse me?
DISTANT ECHO: May I help you?
Excuse me?
Hey, Jimbo? What's up, man?
All right, man. It's OK. Take it easy.
It'll be all right.
Take it easy. We'll work this out, OK?
We'll send you back to your room, have milk and cookies...
Just take it easy, man, OK?
Calm down! Control it, man!
Drag him down! Drag him down!
Aaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh...
Dr Railly, help me!
I'll give you something to calm you.
No! No more drugs!
James, we have to do this. Get him in there.
Get off me!
Kathryn, we've worked together four years.
I've never seen you like this.
So stop being so defensive. This isn't an inquisition.
I wasn't being defensive. I was trying to explain...
He should've been in restraints.
It was bad judgment, plain and simple, so own up to it.
OK. But I have a feeling about him. I've seen him someplace...
Two policemen are in hospital, now a guard has a skull fracture!
I said it was bad judgment! What more do you want?
See what I mean? You're being defensive.
Isn't she being defensive?
Dr Fletcher, er... We have...another situation.
He was fully restrained and the doors locked?
Yes, sir. I did it myself.
And he was fully sedated?
He was fully sedated.
Then are you telling me a sedated, restrained patient
slipped out that vent, replaced the grille,
and is wriggling his way through the ventilation system?
BEEPING
Watch it!
You sure fucked up!
Where are you?
Ah, you can talk!
What did you do, Bobby boy, volunteer?
My name's not Bob.
Not a prob, Bob. Where did they send you?
Where are you?
Another cell.
Maybe.
What do you mean, "maybe"?
Maybe... means maybe I'm in the next cell.
Another "volunteer", like you.
Or maybe I'm in the central office,
spyin' on ya for all those science bozos.
Or, hey, maybe I'm not even here.
Maybe I'm just in your head.
No way to confirm anything.
CHUCKLING
Where did they send ya?
1990.
'90! How was it? Good drugs? Lots of pussy?
Hey, Bob, you do the job?
Did you find out the...big info?
Army of the Twelve Monkeys.
It was supposed to be 1996.
Science ain't an exact science with these clowns.
But they're getting better.
You're lucky you didn't end up in Ancient Egypt.
Shhh! They're comin'.
AUDIO: The Freedom For Animals Association is the secret HQ
of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys. They're the ones who'll do it.
I can't do any more. I have to go now. Have a merry Chriiiistmas!
Well?
What?
Did you or did you not record that message?
It's a reconstruction of a deteriorated recording.
We had to put it together one word at a time, like a jigsaw.
We just finished rebuilding it. Did you or did you not make this call?
I couldn't make any call.
You sent me to the wrong year. It was 1990.
1990?!
You're certain of that?
What did you do with your time? Did you waste it on drugs? Women?
They forced me to take drugs.
Why would someone force you to take drugs?
I...I was in trouble. I...got arrested.
I...
I did what you wanted. I got a specimen. A spider.
But I had no place to put it,
so I ate it.
But you sent me to the wrong year, so it really doesn't matter.
Did you see this when you went back?
No, sir, I don't think so.
What about these people? Did you see any of them?
No... No...
Oh, wait... Wait...
Him?
You saw that man?
Maybe in the mental institution.
You were in a mental institution? Oh, God!
Cole, you were sent back to make important observations.
You could've made a contribution.
Helped reclaim the planet.
As well as reducing your sentence.
The question is, Cole...
do you want another chance?
Last connection going on.
Stand clear.
No mistakes this time, Cole.
Stay alert. Keep your eyes open.
Good thinking about the spider. Try and do that again.
Just relax. Don't fight it.
We're sending you to the third quarter of 1996. Right on the money.

Help me, Cole!
Aaaaaaarrrhhhhhhh...
In a season of great pestilence, there are omens and divinations.
And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels
seven gold vials full of the wrath of God who liveth forever and ever.
Revelations.
In the 14th century, according to local accounts,
this man appeared suddenly in the village of Wyle
in April 1362.
Using unfamiliar words and a strange accent,
the man made dire prognostications about a pestilence
which would wipe out humanity in about 600 years.
Obviously this doomsday scenario is more compelling
when reality supports it with a plague,
be it bubonic plague, smallpox or AIDS.
Now we also have horrors such as chemical warfare,
which first surfaced in the mustard gas attacks of WWI.
In one such attack in the French trenches,
we hear about this soldier,
who was wounded and hospitalised, apparently in a state of hysteria.
Doctors found he had lost all comprehension of French,
but spoke English fluently,
albeit in a dialect they didn't recognise.
The man, though physically unaffected by the gas,
was beside himself.
He claimed to come from the future, that he was looking for a pure germ
that would wipe mankind off the face of the Earth,
starting in the year 1996.
CHUCKLES FROM AUDIENCE
The soldier disappeared from the hospital,
no doubt to continue warning others
and substituting for the agony of war
a self-inflicted agony we call the Cassandra Complex.
Cassandra, in legend, was condemned to know the future
but to be disbelieved.
Hence the agony of foreknowledge coupled with impotence to act on it.
CHATTER
I'm going right out to get vaccinated!
Hi. I think you've given the alarmists a bad name.
I have?
Surely there's very real data that Earth cannot survive our excesses.
This is true.
Proliferation of atomic devices, uncontrolled breeding,
pollution, the rape of the environment...
Isn't it obvious that Chicken Little represents the sane vision,
and that homo sapiens' motto, "Let's go shopping",
is the cry of the true lunatic?
Kathryn, I'll see you later.
Please... Dr Railly, I wonder if you're aware of my own studies.
Aaaaarrrhhh!
Get in the car! Get in the car! I've got a gun! Get in the car!
Go on, drive!
Take my purse. I have a lot of cash. Take my keys!
Start the car!
No!
Here. Turn right here.
Wh-where are we going?
Philadelphia.
That's 100 miles!
That's why I can't walk it. Just let me go...
Just drive! You can take the car.
I don't know how to drive.
I went underground when I was eight. I told you that.
At the next...
HE COUGHS
At the next corner, turn right.
Cole... James Cole.
You escaped from a locked room six years ago!
Six years for you.
CARS HONK HORNS
Turn around! Get going!
I can't believe this is a coincidence, Mr Cole.
Have you been following me?
You said you'd help me.
I know this isn't what you meant, but... I don't have any money.
I hurt my leg, I've been sleeping on the street...
I'm sure I smell bad.
Do you have any food in this car?
You have been following me, haven't you?
No. No, I... I saw this.
In a store window.
I can read, remember?
Yeah... Why do you want to go to Philadelphia?
I checked out the Baltimore info.
It was nothing.
It's in Philadelphia. That's where they are, the ones who did it.
The Twelve Monkeys.
Is that a radio?
Can... Turn it on.
This is a personal message to you.
Are you at the end of your rope? Are you dying to get away?
The Florida keys are waiting for you. Ocean waves...
I've never seen the ocean!
It's an advertisement, Mr Cole.
What is?
It's an advertisement. Do you understand that?
It's not really a special message to you.
Mr Cole...
You used to call me James.
You prefer that?
James, er, you don't really have a gun...
Can you turn this up? Can you make this louder?

Ohhhhhhhh...
WXBX newsbreak. Roger Krite reporting.
Emergency crews are converging on a cornfield
where playmates of nine-year-old Ricky Neuman
say he disappeared right before their eyes.
It seems Neuman stepped into a well shaft
and is lodged in the narrow 150ft pipe,
possibly alive, possibly seriously injured.
Playmates heard him cry out...
Never cry wolf.
What?
My father told me that. He said never cry wolf,
or people won't believe you if something really happens.
If something really happens like what, James?
Something bad.
Can we have some more music? I don't wanna hear this stuff.
# I see trees of green... #
Oh, that's good. Yes, that's...that's good.
# ..I see them bloom
# For me and you
# And I think to myself

MESSAGE: Dr Railly? This is Wikke from Psych Admitting.
Do you remember James Cole,
the paranoid who pulled the Houdini back in '90?
Well, he's back, and he's looking for you.
I thought you ought to know. OK? Take care.
It's like I told you.
Me and my husband went ahead and she never showed.
That is totally unlike her.
Do you know the make of her car?
Um... Cherokee. A '94 Cherokee.

Daddy...
Noooooooo!
You were in my dream just now.
Your hair's different. Different colour.
But I'm sure it was you.
What was the dream about?
About an airport.
Before everything happened.
It's the same dream I always have. When I was a kid.
And I was in it?
What did I do?
You were very upset.
You're always very upset in the dream.
I just never knew it was you.
It wasn't me before, James.
It's become me now because of what's happening.
Could you please untie me?
No, I think it was always you.
Very strange.
You're flushed. And you were moaning.
I think you're running a fever.
What are you doing?

'disappeared last night after a lecture at the university.
'Former mental patient James Cole is wanted for questioning.
'Cole has a history of violence.
'Anyone spotting him should notify authorities at once.'
GUITAR MUSIC ON RADIO
I love this music.
We don't have this. Anything like this.
What are all those?
These?
My notes. Clues.
What kind of clues?
About the Army of the Twelve Monkeys. They spread the virus.
That's why I'm here. I have to find them.
They have the virus in its pure form, before it mutates.
When I locate them, they'll send a scientist back to study the virus.
Then when he goes back to the present, they'll make a cure.
'..police officers, including special tactical personnel,
'have been mobilised to control the growing thousands of onlookers
'here in Fresno...'
Does that disturb you?
No. I thought it was about us.
I thought maybe they'd captured us and arrested me.
Just a joke.
Hm...
I remember being very afraid for that little boy.
All alone down that well, not knowing if anybody'd get him out.
First time I was ever really afraid when I was a kid.
When you were a kid?
Never mind. It's just a prank. That boy's hiding in a barn.
GROWLING BLUES MUSIC
'There are omens and divinations.'
One of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels
seven golden vials full of the wrath of God
who liveth for ever and ever!
You won't think I'm crazy when people start dying next month.
First they'll think it's just some weird fever...
Then they'll find out. They'll catch on.
Wait! Stop! Stop the car!
I was right! They're here!
You see?! Twelve Monkeys! You believe me now?!
Come on!
Come on! They're here! You see?! Twelve Monkeys!
Come on!
Twelve Monkeys...
Wait... Wait...
Here! Do you see it? You see?
I see some red paint, some marks...
Marks?! You think...
Oh, this is ridicul...
Hey! Hey!
Don't...you do anything crazy. Or I'll hurt somebody!
I won't, but this isn't what you think it is!
You can't hide from them, Bob.
I said... you can't hide from them.
No, sir, old Bob! Don't even try!
They hear everything.
They got that trackin' device on ya.
Oooh...
They can find you anywhere, any time!
It's in the tooth...right, Bob?
But I fooled 'em, old buddy.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...
They don't have to spy on me. I'm doing what I'm meant to.
See, here it is again. See?
Here, follow this paint trail.
It's here, see?
I am not going in there!
No, no! Come with me! The paint trail goes here.
Let go of my arm!
James, we shouldn't be here.
ANGRY SHOUTING
Let's get out of here. James, we shouldn't be here.
Hey! Hey-hey-hey!
Ohhh!
Please don't kill me!
Don't kill me! Please don't kill me!
You stick around, bitch!
Haaaaaarrrggghh!
HE PANTS
Are you all right?
Ugh!
Is he alive?
Come on. We're running out of time. You can't help him.
Oh, Jesus, James, you killed him!
All I see are dead people. Come on.
Come on.
You never had a gun before!
I have one now. Come on. Come on!
..and dragons in their pleasant palaces.
The seventh angel poured out his vial into the air...
You! You!
You're one of us!
This is it.
Come on.
JUNGLE ROARS AND BIRD CRIES
Um...
Can we help you?
DEEP ROARS AND GROWLS
It's just a tape.
I'm looking for the Army of the Twelve Monkeys.
We know nothing about that, so why don't you just disappear?
I just want information.
Didn't you hear me? I...
Don't hurt her!
Please! I'm a psychiatrist. Just do whatever he tells you.
He's disturbed. He's dangerous.
Please, just cooperate.
What do you want, money?
Get down. Lock that door.
James... Lock it now!
I told you that fucking Goines'd... Shut up!
Goines? Jeffrey Goines?
So Jeffrey becomes this big star, and the media love him
cos he's picketing his own father, a Nobel Prize-winning virologist.
You must've seen it on TV.
I don't watch TV.
Is this him?
Yeah, that's him.
What are you gonna do to us?
Tell me more about Jeffrey.
Jeffrey got bored with the shit we do, picketing, letter-writing...
He said we were ineffectual, liberal jerk-offs.
He wanted to do guerrilla actions to educate the public.
This? He let 100 snakes loose in the Senate.
But we weren't into that stuff. It's counter-productive.
So he and 11 guys split up and formed this underground...army.
The Army of the Twelve Monkeys. See?
They planned a human hunt.
They were gonna go to Wall Street and trap lawyers and bankers.
They didn't do it, of course.
Like always, Mr Bigshot sold his friends out.
What does that mean?
He goes on TV, tells the world he just realised
his daddy's experiments are vital
and the use of animals is necessary.
So from now on, he will personally supervise the labs
to make sure all the little animals won't suffer.
What is this?
People like that, you can't just barge in on them.
Be quiet and drive. I know what I'm doing.
Oh, no, you don't! This car is stolen.
We are in big trouble.
BIG trouble. If you don't turn yourself in, they'll kill you,
and shoot me, too, as an accessory!
You're all going to die.
Nobody is going to die!
You're not going to save the world.
You're delusional. You created this from bits and pieces in your head.
No. Yes! Let me give you an example.
You and Jeffrey Goines were patients together...
Jeffrey Goines was...
a fruitcake. Errr!
He told you his father was a famous virologist,
so you've incorporated that into this fantasy.
No, he said his father was God.
This is insane!
'..that Dr Kathryn Railly
'has been abducted by a dangerous mental patient, James Cole.
'Cole was under Railly's care six years ago when he escaped...'
RADIO OFF
HE GRUNTS
What is the matter with your leg?
I got shot. Shot?!
Who shot you?!
I don't know. It was some war. Never mind.
You wouldn't believe me anyway.
What are you doing?
We don't need gas!
I thought you couldn't drive!
I said I was too young to drive, I didn't say I was stupid.
This can't go on.
If you have a bullet in your leg, I have to take care of it.
I'm a doctor. I need some supplies.
'Meanwhile, in Fresno, mining engineers continue their attempt
'to sink a shaft parallel to that in which Ricky Neuman is trapped.'
You shouldn't put your weight on it. You need stitches and antibiotics.
Lucky for you it's near the surface.
I love seeing the sun.
Ow! Wait...
Let me help you.
You smell so good.
You have to give yourself up.
You know that, don't you?
What are you... James?
I'm sorry. What are you doing?!
James... Stop it!
What are you doing?! Let go of me!
They find him? Who?
That kid in the pipe.
You believe that? They're lowering a monkey down
with a mini camera and a beef sandwich wrapped in tin foil.
You're makin' it up!
No, I shit you not, man! Life is really weird.
A monkey and a beef sandwich.
GENTLE APPLAUSE
Would that I could enjoy this opulent dinner, this most...
stimulatin', excitin' company for itself, with no sense of purpose.
But, alas...I am burdened.
For with all this excess of public attention and praise,
there comes great responsibility.
I don't have to tell you all...
HE SNORES
WHISPERING
What friend? I'm not expecting anyone.
This is ridiculous. My father is giving a major address!
..to fear the power...
..we have at hand.
Normally, we caught a guy sneakin' around with no ID,
we'd bust his ass - excuse my French.
But he says he knows you.
And since you've had a few...unusual associates,
we wouldn't want to arrest a pal. C'mon.
Never seen him in my life.
Feel free to torture him, or whatever it is you do.
I'm going back to my father's eloquent...
I'm here about some monkeys.
Monkeys?
Monkeys, yes.
Twelve of them.
Arnold!
You look like shit.
You know this man?
Of course. Arnold...Pettibone.
Gee, Arnie, it's black tie.
I said drop by, but it's Dad's big do. VIPs, senators, secret service.
You hungry, Arnie?
Killer feast we're putting on. Lots of dead lamb, dead cow, dead pig.
Hi, how are you? Hello.
The Great Escape, 1990.
Watch it!
Huh? County Hospital?
I can't do anything about what you're going to do.
I just want the information. Whoa... C'mon.
Hi, ladies. Remember to watch your step on the way down.
All right, who blabbed? Bruhns? Weller?
I need access to the pure virus.
Virus? I need to know exactly what it is.
Ah, I get it! It's your old plan, isn't it?
Your plan - remember?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Yes, you do. We were watching TV,
and you were all upset about the desecration of the planet,
which I understand, and you said, "Wouldn't it be great if there was
"a germ that would wipe out mankind?"
No! You're trying to confuse me!
And I told you my dad was a virologist,
and you said, "Hey, we could steal his germs!"
You were cuckoo-ca!
They mutate! We live underground!
The world belongs to dogs and cats! We live like worms!
I need the information!
You are a total nutcase! Deranged! Delusional! Paranoid!
Your process is all fucked up!
Your information tray is jammed, man!
Know what it is, the Army of the Twelve Monkeys?
Do-gooders saving rainforests! I don't see those bozos now.
I quit being the rich-kid fall guy for those bananas!
So much for your grand plot, asshole!
My father's warned about the dangers of DNA viruses for years!
You processed that information...
SCREAMING
..and a non-profit organisation becomes a sinister cabal!
This man is complete bat shit!
Ladies and gentlemen, do you know where he thinks he comes from?
'Captain Dan Miller, in charge of the rescue operation,
'says experts assure us...'
If you ask me, the monkey will eat the sandwich himself.
Did a man just run through here?
'This is just in.
'Police say the body of a woman found strangled in Knutson Park
'could be kidnap victim
'Dr Kathryn Railly.'
Anybody see someone come through here?
'..discovered by hikers. We have an unconfirmed report that the victim,
'a woman in her late twenties or early thirties
was savagely mutilated.
'Earlier, police found Railly's abandoned car...'
RUNNING FOOTSTEPS
Any sign of him?
Nothing.
He can't just disappear.
HE PANTS
You bastard!
I could have died in there, you son of a bitch!
What were you thinking of?
You twisted sack of shit!
Sorry... Sorry I locked you in the trunk...
I'm sick of this!
What have you done? Did you kill somebody?!
Yes. A million people. Five billion people.
What?!
Jeffrey Goines said it was MY idea about the virus.
We were in the institution. It was all so fuzzy, the drugs and all...
Do you think it was my idea? Do you think I wiped out the human race?
Nobody is going to wipe out the human race!
Not you, Jeffrey or anybody else!
You've created something in your mind.
I'm mentally divergent?
Whatever! A substitute reality...
because you don't want to deal with anything.
I would love it if that was true.
It can be dealt with. But only if you want to. I can help you.
DISTANT WHISTLES AND SHOUTING
They're after me. Come on!
Who is after you?!
I think there were some policemen at that party.
Party?! You went to a par...
Never mind. It's important you surrender and not be caught.
Wouldn't it be great if I was crazy?
Give me the gun. I lost the gun.
I could live right here!
I got water...air...stars...
I'm going to attract their attention.
SHE HONKS HORN
Ha-ha! Oh, I love this world!
Do what they say, OK?
I love the frogs, the spiders...
Remember, I'll be with you. I'll help you.
I won't let them...
Then I told him to cooperate and he said he would.
So I, um...I got in the car...
Thanks. And when I...I honked the horn, and when I got out...
he was gone.
Well, you lucked out.
We thought you were a body found downstate, mutilated.
He wouldn't do that.
Is this the man he attacked?
I want to be clear about this, OK?
This man and the other were severely beating us.
James Cole didn't start it. In fact, he saved me.
Funny thing - maybe you can explain it to me, you being a psychiatrist.
Why do kidnap victims almost always talk about the guys who grabbed 'em
and they try to make us understand how kind these bastards really were?
It's a normal reaction to a life-threatening situation.
He's sick. OK?
He thinks he comes from the future.
He lives in complex fantasy world, and it's disintegrating.
He needs help.
Yeah.
'Exhausted, but apparently unharmed by her 30-hour ordeal,
'Dr Railly returned to Baltimore this morning.
'She is currently in seclusion at her home.
'Police have pieced together a scenario of events
'that began with James Cole...'
VOLUME UP, THEN DOWN
Sorry. No, it's OK. I'm just hyper-alert. I can't sleep.
Did you take a sedative?
I hate those things. They mess my head up.
VOLUME UP
'Cole is also wanted in connection with the slaying of Rodney Wiggins,
'an ex-convict.
'His body was found in an abandoned theatre,
'not far from where Cole left three animal activists bound and gagged.'
Now do they really believe he'll show up here? Please!
'In Fresno, California...'
He's dead, isn't he? That little boy?
He's fine. It was just a prank he and his friends pulled.
'..ended abruptly when friends confessed
'that Neuman's disappearance was merely a prank,
'and that in fact he was hiding in a nearby barn.'
# I found my thrill
# Bub-bub-ba-bom...
# On Blueberry Hill
# When I found you
Congratulations, Cole!
Well done! Congratulations!
During your interview you told us you liked music.
This isn't a prison, James. It's a hospital.
Just until you recover.
It is very stressful, time travel.
You stood up very well, considering.
You led us to Dr Goines.
Others will take over now.
We'll be on the surface in months.
This is what you've worked for.
A full pardon. You'll be out in no time.
Women will want to know you.
I don't want women! I wanna get well!
And you will be well, James.
Soon.
You people don't exist. You're not real.
We can't travel back in time. Woop... Woop... Uh-uh.
You're not here.
You can't trick me.
You're in my mind.
I am insane, and you are my insanity.
He not only used the word "prank", he said the boy was in a barn.
Kathryn, Kathryn... He kidnapped you.
You saw him murder somebody,
and you knew there was a real possibility he could kill you, too.
You were under huge emotional stress.
Oh, for God's sake, Owen, listen!
He knew about the Fresno boy and he says five billion people will die!
There's no way he could know that.
Kathryn...
You're a trained psychiatrist.
You know what's real and what's not.
And what we say is true is what everyone accepts.
Psychiatry is the latest religion.
WE decide what's right, WE decide who's crazy.
I'm in trouble here. I'm losing my faith.
RASPING VOICE: You sure fucked up, Bob.
But you don't want your mistakes pointed out to you.
I can relate to that, old Bob.
I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking I don't exist, except in your head.
I can see that point of view.
But you could still talk to me, couldn't you?
I saw you.
In 1996. In the REAL world.
You pulled out your teeth.
Why would I pull out my teeth, Bob? That's a no-no.
When did you say you saw me?
In 1872?
Leave me alone!
Yelling won't get you what you want.
You have to be smart to get what you want.
What do I want?
You don't know what you want?
Sure you do, Bob.
You know what you want.
You tell me. Tell me what I want.
To see the sky and the ocean.
To be topside.
Breathe the air.
To be with...her.
Isn't that right?
Isn't that what you want?
Bob?
SHE MOANS
PHONE RINGS
Yeah, hello?
Dr Railly? Jim Halperin, Philly PD. Sorry to call so early.
You found him? Is... Is he OK?
No, Doctor, no sign of your good friend the kidnapper.
But the plot does thicken. I got a ballistics report here.
It says the bullet you removed from Mr Cole's thigh is an antique.
'All indications are it was fired sometime prior to 1920.
'So I thought maybe...' This can't be!
'..we could grab a bite to eat,'
and you could amplify your statement.
Dr Railly?
No!
You can't trick us, you know. It wouldn't work.
No, sir.
You haven't become addicted, have you, Cole,
to that dying world?
No, sir.
I just want to do my part to get us back on top, in charge of the Earth.
And I have the experience. I know the people involved.
He really is the most qualified.
But all that...behaviour.
You said we weren't real, Cole.
I don't think the human mind is meant to exist in...
two different...
whatever you called it... dimensions?
It's too stressful. You said that yourself.
You don't know what's real and what's not.
But you know what's real now?
Yes, sir, I do.
No, no, I don't know anything about...monkey armies, Doctor.
No, nothing whatsoever.
Good Lord, if my son was ever involved in something like that...
Yeah...
Well, I'm sorry, I think it's doubly inappropriate to discuss...
security matters with you, Dr... Railly.
But, if it will ease your mind, rest assured that neither my son
nor any other unauthorised person
has access to any potentially dangerous organisms in my lab.
Is that clear to you now, ma'am? Thank you for your concern.
Women psychiatrists.
I attended a lecture of hers once.
Apocalyptic visions.
She was, er, suddenly struck by the most preposterous notion
about Jeffrey.
Has she succumbed to her own... theoretical...Cassandra disease?
Maybe we ought to review our security procedures.
Perhaps upgrade 'em, you know?
Beef 'em up.
Let's review our current data.
If the symptoms were first detected in Philadelphia on Dec 27, 1996,
we know that...?
It was released probably on December 13th.
And was seen sequentially after that in...?
San Francisco, New Orleans,
Rio de Janeiro, er...
Rome, Kinshasa,
Karachi, Bangkok, Peking.
That was very well done, Cole.
'Hello?!'
Is somebody in there? I have to talk to you!
It's the kidnap woman. The one with the guy who tied us up.
Turn off the lights!
What's she doing?
Drawing attention to us!
I don't know what you're up to, but you'll get us in deep shit!
Walkies ready? Batteries charged?
I saw you! I saw somebody in there!
Secret experiments. That's what they do.
Secret, weird stuff.
Not just on animals. I know you.
On people, too.
Have you seen James Cole, the man...
They're watching you. Takin' pictures.
The police - I know. Look...
I have to contact James. It's very important
that he's really careful when he reaches me.
Do you understand?
Yeah. Who's James?
He was with me. He spoke to you. Several weeks ago.
He said you were from the future and you were watching him!
Bolt... You get the bolt-cutters?
One dozen. Got the plans for the security system?
Committed to memory.
Hey! You know what she's doin' out there?
What's it say?
I can't see it.
Forget about my psychiatrist and focus on the task at hand.
Your psychiatrist?! Did you just say YOUR psychiatrist?!
Ex-psychiatrist.
Your psychiatrist is spray-painting our building?!
Kathryn!
James?!
James!
James... There's police over there. Pretend you don't know me.
No, I wanna turn myself in. Where is he?
James! Down! Come on.
No, no, it's OK. I'm not crazy any more.
I mean, I am - I'm mentally divergent.
I know that now, and I want you to help me. I want to get better.
James!
Let's get out of here!
He's goin'!
CAR HORNS BLARE
I've seen that before.
No, James, you haven't.
A guy's chasing her and some other guy I can't see.
Probably just another kidnapping featuring Jeffrey's shrink!
Pardon me, ex-shrink.
This is your leader?! A certifiable lunatic
whose shrink is writing God knows what on that wall!
Who cares what psychiatrists write on walls?!
You think I told her about the Twelve Monkeys, huh?
Impossible! Do you know why?
Cos, you pathetic, pusillanimous pretend friend to animals,
when I had anything to do with her, six years ago,
I hadn't even thought of it!
Then how come she knows what's going on?
Well, here's my theory on that.
When I was institutionalised, my brain was studied exhaustively.
I was interrogated, X-rayed, I was examined thoroughly!
HE COUGHS
Then they put that data into a computer,
where they created a model of my mind. Yes!
And they generated every thought I could possibly have
in the next, say, ten years,
which they then filtered through a probability matrix
to determine everything I'd do in that period.
So she knew I'd lead the Army of the Twelve Monkeys into history
before it even occurred to me.
She knows everything I'll ever do before I do.
How's that?
Kweskin, I'll meet you there.
If you forget one thing, I'll have you sterilised and destroyed.
Jeff? What?
You're a great man.
Ah, fuck the bozos!
He's seriously crazy.
You know that.
There. Over there.
Come on.
I need a room.
$35 an hour.
An hour?!
You want quarter hours, go someplace else.
WOMAN GIGGLES
Er, here's...twenty-five...six, seven...for an hour. Deal?
One hour, honey-babe. Number 64. Sixth floor.
Up the stairs, end of the hall. Elevator's busted.
She's not "honey-babe".
She's a doctor. My psychiatrist.
Understand?
Whatever gets it up for you, Jack.
Tommy, this is Charlie over at the Globe.
You know if Wallace has a new girl?
Sort of a rookie type, little weird, does fantasy acts?
OK, you were standing there, looking up at the moon,
splashing through the water... Then what?
I thought I was in prison again.
Just like that, you were in prison?
No, not really. It's... Like you said, it was all in my mind.
You... You disappeared. OK?
One minute you were there, the next you were gone.
Did you run through the woods or...?
I don't know. I don't remember.
The boy in the well - how did you know that was a hoax?
It was? I... I didn't know.
You said he was hiding in a barn!
I think I maybe saw a TV show about that when I was a boy.
It wasn't a TV show, it was real!
Well, maybe this boy saw the same TV show
and he copied it.
Look, you were right. I am mentally ill.
I imagined all these things, these people.
I know they're not real. I can trick them. I...
I can make them do what I want. I worked on them a bit
and I got back here.
I can get better and stay here. What does this mean to you?
I think I had a dream...about this.
You had a bullet from World War I in your leg! How did it get there?
I don't know. You said I had delusions.
You said you could explain everything.
I can't! I...
I'm trying to, and...
I can't believe that everything we say or do has already happened.
That we can't change what will happen
and that five billion people will die!
I want the future to be unknown.
I want to become a whole person again.
I want this to be the present.
I want to stay here, in this time.
With you.
James...
do you remember, six years ago you had a phone number?
It was the wrong number then... A woman answered.
It was the wrong number in 1990. It should be right now.
Do you remember it? The number? Do you...
LOUD BANG
This is MY territory, bitch!
Is this real or one of my delusions?
This is definitely real.
Er, excuse me, I think we've got a little misunderstanding here.
Oh?
Yeah. We... Gee, really?
Now you just sit tight, chief.
You listen to me, little Miss Understanding!
You think you can go around me,
and peddle your ass?!
I would call it a major fucking misunderstanding!
Oi!
James, no! Don't!
Put him in the closet! Take his money!
You want me to rob him?
We need cash, James!
Hey, call the cops!
What's goin' on?!
I got friends, man...
James? James?!
No, James, no! No, James, no!
Open the door!
What the fuck are you doing?!
Please don't hurt him! Open the door!
James...
Just in case. Just in case I'm not crazy.
This is how they find us.
By our teeth.
I don't want them to find me. Ever.
I don't want to go back.
Get back!
Police! Throw your weapons down and come on out!
Hey! Is that the cops?
I'm the innocent victim here!
I was attacked by a coked-up whore and a fucking crazy dentist!
Try to blend in.
Oh, Jesus!
Come on.
There's gotta be a phone somewhere.
There. Over there. Look.
I'm gonna try that number, OK? Let's... Let's hope it's nothing.
OK.
ROARING
James! James!
It's OK! We're insane! It's a carpet cleaning company!
Carpet cleaning company?
No scientists, no people from the future.
Just a carpet cleaning company.
They have voice mail and you leave a message.
You left them a message?
I couldn't resist.
I told them they better watch out for the Army of the Twelve Monkeys!
I said the Freedom for Animals Association...
..is the secret HQ of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys.
They're the ones who'll do it.
I can't do anything more now. I have to go.
Have a merry Christmas.
You couldn't have heard me...
They got your message, Kathryn.
They played it for me.
It was a bad recording. Distorted.
I didn't recognise your voice.
This...
And this...
And this.
Is everything OK? You want anything?
CLATTER OF WINGS
'Shall I put this on your account?'
No, that'll...be cash.
Can you tell me where the wigs are?
You know Phil.
He's, like, "If you get nailed, which I'm pretty sure you will,
I've never seen you before in my fucking life!"
KNOCKING
A-ha! Yeah!
Wrigglesome!
Drive!
What's the harm in opening the bag? His eyes are taped, right?
Right?
CHUCKLING
OK. OK.
Hello!
Want to hear the monkey speak?
Yeah!
Jeffrey? Jeffrey, I know that's you.
I recognise your voice. No, you don't.
I know about your warped plan.
That lady, your psychiatrist - she told me.
I didn't believe her. It seemed too crazy, even for you.
But just in case, I took steps to make sure you couldn't carry it out.
I don't have the code any more, Jeffrey.
I don't have access to the virus.
I took myself...out of the loop.
Too late! Too...late!
We have plans for you, Dad.
HE MAKES MONKEY NOISES
CACOPHONY OF MONKEY SCREECHES
I never let myself believe it. Now I know it's true.
Jeffrey? Hm?
You're completely insane.
No, I'm not.
Here's a cross-section of one of the old trees that's been cut down.
Here I was born...
..and there I die.
It was only a moment for you. You took no notice.
I think I've seen this movie before.
Shhh.
When I was a kid. I saw it on TV.
Don't talk.
Well, I did see it before.
Have you been here before?
Yes.
But I don't...recognise this...
What's the matter?
Madeleine, tell me. No!
It's just like what's happening with us.
Like the past.
The movie never changes, it can't change, but...
every time you see it, it seems different because you're different.
You see different things.
Please don't ask me.
If you can't change anything, you may as well smell the flowers.
What flowers?
It's an expression.
Shhh!
Kathryn...
Why are you doing this?
I want to know why. What if I'm wrong? What if you're wrong?
What if I AM crazy?
In a few weeks it will have started or it won't.
If there are still...
..football games and traffic jams, TV shows and armed robberies,
we'll be so glad that we'll be thrilled to see the police.
I'm responsible for you now.
'The Chinese say - save a person's life and you're responsible for it.'
Do you have a plan?
I have to know.
'There's so little that I know.'
You said you'd never seen the ocean.
(Hurry up!)
URGENT WHISPERING
Jeffrey?
You know I can't see. Where are we?
Jeffrey?!
ROARS
CLATTER OF WINGS
Kathryn!
We have 9.30 reservations for Key West.
I, er...almost didn't recognise you.
Well, you look pretty different yourself.
It was always you.
In my dream...it was al...
It was always you.
I remember you like this.
You do?
I felt I'd known you before.
I feel that I've always known you.
I'm so scared.
HE SNORES
ELEPHANT TRUMPETS
'What time's your flight?' '9.30.' 'Might be tight.'
Tight? No, my watch says 7.30.
On your normal morning, OK, plenty of time.
But today you got your Army of the Twelve Monkeys factor.
What? What did you say?
Twelve Monkeys, honey. Guess you didn't hear.
Some weirdos let all the animals out of the zoo.
Then they locked up this bigshot scientist in a cage.
Scientist's own kid was one of them.
Now they got animals all over the place.
Bunch o' zebras closed down the throughway an hour ago.
And something called an emu has got traffic blocked for miles on 676.
That's what they were up to - freeing animals!
They said "We did it!" They meant the animals!
I think it's gonna be all right!
If your people spot either of 'em, don't try to apprehend 'em.
We have people all over the airport.
I know this place.
Airports all look the same.
This is my dream.
Oh...your moustache...
It's not just my dream.
I was actually here. I remember now.
About a week or two before... everyone started dying.
Whoa...
Careful. They might be looking for us.
I WAS here. As a kid.
Use this.
I think you were here then, too.
James, if they identify us, they'll send us someplace.
But it won't be Key West.
OK. OK.
I'll... I'll go fix this.
OK. I'll get the tickets. I'll meet you at the newspaper stand. OK.
Judy Simmons. I have reservations for Key West.
Don't see a lot of this - cash.
It's a long story.
They'll board in about 20 minutes. Have a nice flight, Ms Simmons.
Thank you.
< Hello, how are you today? Good.
I don't know if you're there. Maybe you just clean carpets.
If you do, you're lucky.
But if you other guys are out there,
forget the Army of the Twelve Monkeys.
They didn't do it. Someone else did it.
The Twelve Monkeys is just kids playing revolutionaries.
Listen, I've done my job. I did what you wanted.
Good luck. I'm not coming back.
Whoo-ee! San Francisco, New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro, Rome,
Kinshasa, Karachi, Bangkok and Peking.
This is some trip, sir. Is this all in one week?
Business.
Have a good one, sir.
FOOT TAPPING
RASPING VOICE: Got yourself a prob, Bob?
Leave me alone!
I made a report. I didn't have to do that!
Point of fact.
You don't belong here. It's not permitted to let you stay.
This is the present.
This is not the past, this is not the future.
This is right now!
Now leave! You got that?! You can't stop me!
Anything you say, chief. It's none of MY business.
Hey, Cole. What... Leave me alone!
Calm down, Cole, it's me.
Cole, it's me.
Jose? Yeah, right, Jose.
Why'd you pull out the tooth, man? That was nuts.
Here, take this. What?! Are you crazy?!
Me? Are you kidding?
You're the one.
You're a hero, man.
They gave you a pardon. What do you do?
You come back and fuck with your teeth! How did you find me?
The phone call, man. They did their reconstruction thing on it.
The phone... The phone call I just made...five minutes ago?
Five minutes ago, 30 years ago. They just put it together.
"Hey, this is Cole, James. I don't know if you're there.
"Maybe you just clean carpets." Where'd you get that?
"Forget the Army of the Twelve Monkeys."
If only they'd got your message earlier.
Take it. You can still be a hero.
Come on, James. It's OK.
Here's your change. Thank you.
Thank you.
Sorry...
TANNOY: 'Flight 784 for San Francisco is now boarding.'
Oh, my God!
I got orders. You don't go along, I gotta shoot the lady.
What?! They said "If Cole don't obey..."
Quit following, you hear me?!
HE SPLUTTERS
'Volunteers now boarding at gate 37.'
You see?! I had no choice!
These are my orders, man. Just take it.
Take it!
This part isn't about the virus at all, is it?
It's about following orders. Doing what you're told.
Hey, man, you got a pardon. What do you want?
Hey, who am I supposed to shoot?
James! It's Dr Goines' assistant! He's an apocalypse nut!
I saw him a minute ago.
The San Francisco flight is gate 38. If he's there, he's part of it.
Mr Holden, you want to look at this?
Excuse me, sir, could I see the contents of your bag?
Me?
We don't have time for this!
Excuse me...
Biological samples. I have the papers right here.
Well...
I'll have to ask you to open this up, sir.
Open it?
Well, yes, of course.
What could be better? C'mon, look at the planes!
Excuse me... Ma'am, get in the line!
See?
Biological. Check the papers.
It's all proper. I have the permit.
It's empty.
Yes, to be sure, it looks empty, but...
I assure you it's not.
You don't understand! I don't have to!
A man, redhead, has a deadly virus!
You see? Also invisible to the naked eye.
It doesn't...even...have an odour.
That's not necessary.
There you go. Thanks for your cooperation.
Have a good flight.
Yeah.
Who are you calling a moron?
I am calling YOU a fucking moron! Fucking moron?!
Get your hands off her! She's a doctor.
Hold it!
Wait a moment.
ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
You're not getting through! Now get in the line!
I said stop! She's a psychiatrist.
There he is! That man has a deadly virus!
Somebody please stop him!
Police offi...
BEEPING
DISTANT SCREAMS
Watch it!
Nooooooo!
Excuse me.
It's obscene. All the violence, all the lunacy...
Shootings even at airports now!
You might say that WE'RE the next endangered species.
Human beings.
I think you're right, ma'am.
I think you've hit the nail on the head.
Jones is my name.
I'm in insurance.
