12 Monkeys (2015–2018): Season 2, Episode 12 - Blood Washed Away - full transcript
Cole and Cassandra search for the primary in 1957 to prevent the paradox , while in 2044, Ramsey, Deacon and the daughters try to find titan to kill the witness.
- Previously on "12 Monkeys"...
- You're walking through
a Red Forest.
There's a house
in the distance.
Cedar and Pine.
You've been there before.
- Messengers went back in time.
Paradox Primaries.
- [grunts]
Just one more we don't know.
- 1957.
Upstate New York,
a paradox so powerful,
destroys the fabric of time.
[thunder]
- Spit in the face
of death
and leave your daughters
to face off against
the Army of the 12 Monkeys.
- Ladies, mount up.
We're taking them to Titan.
- We don't have a machine
to bring you back.
[dramatic music]
¶ ¶
[thunder]
¶ ¶
- I don't want to be afraid
anymore.
["When We Get Together by Bob
Kelly and the Pikes playing]
- Right now, it's January.
Paradox happens November 7th
at that factory.
That gives us 11 months
to find the Primary
before the Messengers do.
¶ ¶
- Primary's gotta be
one of the employees.
There over 200 people
who work there.
How are we going to figure out
which one is the Primary?
- ¶ When we get together,
we'll rock ¶
- ¶ Take off your hat,
and let's rock, rock, rock ¶
¶ Take off your hat, and
let's rock, rock, rock ¶
¶ Take off your hat,
and let's rock, rock, rock ¶
¶ Take off your hat, and
let's rock, rock, rock ¶
- ¶ Take off your hat,
if you're gonna be in town ¶
¶ Take off your hat,
and let's rock, rock, rock ¶
¶ When we get together,
let's rock ¶
Cole: We'll have to
get jobs there.
Get to know people.
Make friends. Blend in.
- Then what?
- Look out
for the strange ones.
Being Primary is like
being schizophrenic.
Look for people
who twitch,
talk to themselves,
don't fit in with others,
people who stand out.
- ¶ Take off your coat
and let's rock ¶
¶ Take off your coat and
let's rock ¶
- And what if the Primary
isn't unstable?
What if...
they seem normal?
- Then we have
to check everyone...
no matter what.
No exceptions.
Remember, the link between
Jennifer, Tommy, and Kyle
is that they each saw and drew
the same thing--
a face, a screaming monkey.
- Oh, hey, Cole.
How are you, pal?
- Come on!
- Jeez Louise.
What's the problem, Cole?
Don't be such a pansy.
[man laughs]
- Do you have any idea
what a paradox is?
- I sure do.
- ¶ When we get together,
let's rock ¶
¶ When we get together,
gonna rock ¶
- Hey, what--
give me--I--
- ¶ When we get together,
we'll feel light as a feather ¶
- Get your hand
off of me.
- ¶ When we get together,
gonna rock ¶
- What?
I like butts, okay?
What's the big deal?
[whispering]
Thanks for the drink.
- Jesus, Railly,
you are a piece of work.
["When We Get Together" ends]
[tense music]
- That's it.
We've been through everyone.
- We only have two days left
to stop a paradox
that will destroy the world,
and we don't have
a single lead.
[dramatic music]
¶ ¶
¶ ¶
- You sure
about this one?
- He's not Primary.
- Did you look
at all the drawings?
Maybe there was some kind
of a code or a pattern.
Did you go through
every single page?
- Yeah, the ones
that weren't stuck together.
Trust me, it's not him.
- Sometimes
you miss things.
- Really? Does that make me
stupid or a liar?
Neither one changes the fact
the guy's not Primary.
Look, we're really scraping
the bottom of the barrel
with these two.
Are you sure
that none of these people
look like the Messengers
you saw in 2043?
- I only got a good look
at a few of them, not all.
What about Sully O'Dare
or Andrew Peterson?
One of them--
- No and no.
I checked, I told you.
- Check again.
- Peterson got fired
for boozing on the job.
He's not even gonna be there
on the 7th.
And O'Dare, I tried so hard
to get to know O'Dare
he thinks I'm trying
to get into his pants.
- That's what
you're worried about?
- None of these people
are Primary.
We got two days left.
We need to focus.
- Maybe you've been wrong.
Maybe the Tall Man
lied to you.
We haven't even seen
any sign of a Messenger.
- We know there's gonna be
a paradox.
- [sighs]
- Okay, what about you?
- What about me?
- Maybe you missed something.
Hmm? All these,
uh, supervisors
and supply salesmen.
Maybe you've been enjoying
your job a little too much.
- I would be very careful
about what you say
to me next, Cole.
Where are you going?
- Out.
So I don't have to say it.
[tense music]
- [sighs]
[mellow rock and roll plays]
- Whisky sour.
Thanks.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Charlie.
What are you doing here?
- It's, uh,
my night out.
- I don't get it.
- Melinda says that
I can't be home tonight.
Says I can't just sit around
and watch her be sick
all the time.
- How is she doing?
- She has that beautiful,
dark hair.
Started falling out
last week.
It's that chemotherapy.
You know, the same chemical
that they put in her body
is what they use
in mustard gas?
The same shit
that killed people
in that war...
it's in her veins.
- I'm sorry.
- So what are you doing here?
- I'm just clearing my head.
- Let me guess, uh...
she's getting tired
of you being
paranoid about people.
[chuckles]
- I got my reasons.
- Commies?
- Yeah.
- [chuckles]
I swear you see more red
than goddamn
Joe McCarthy did.
Instead,
you could go upstairs
and put your arms around
that pretty lady
and make nice for once.
- It's not like that.
- Sure, it is.
- It's not.
[music continues
in background]
- Yeah.
You're probably right.
You're better off.
I heard that she's been
on more "dates"
than that "Playboy"
with Jayne Mansfield in it.
- Whoa, hey.
- See? You do care.
And whatever is stopping
you two, it isn't worth it.
This whole world
could eat shit and die.
It wouldn't matter
if you were together.
¶ ¶
You know...
Melinda's doctor
told me that I should think
about buying her a nice gift
for Christmas.
Something special.
Because he doesn't think
that she will...
¶ ¶
It's just so cruel.
So when I say what I say,
you know I know.
Because when
it comes down to it,
the only thing
you'll be wishing for
is more time.
Trust me.
[song end notes]
[upbeat song begins]
Speaking of, I'm gonna
take my own advice
and I'm gonna go home.
¶ ¶
See you at work, Cole.
- See you, Charlie.
¶ ¶
[door opens]
[keys clatter]
[suspenseful music]
¶ ¶
- [silent]
Shh.
¶ ¶
- [sighs]
- It's over?
- Yes.
- I asked the operator
to switch me
into the one of the party lines
near the factory.
I heard people talking
about a job.
You know
the drainage system
they're always complaining
about on the factory's roof?
- Yeah.
- They're hiring day laborers
to fix it.
One of them--
- Could be our Primary.
- That would explain why
we haven't found them yet.
Cole...
[somber music]
¶ ¶
I know these months here
have been hard.
We haven't been very good
to each other.
The stress and...
- Yeah, there's never enough
time, is there?
¶ ¶
- I had...hoped that Ramse
could find Titan
and if the Witness were there,
they could kill him,
and undo all this somehow.
But it's getting too late
to rely on that.
This is our last chance.
¶ ¶
[gunshots and screams]
[bullets ricocheting]
[overlapping yelling]
[bullets ricocheting]
- Aah!
[thud]
- Mother...
for you.
- I'm sorry.
I didn't know
it would be like this.
[ricochet]
[sharp gasp]
[gunfire continues]
- Aah!
- [gasps]
[gunfire continues]
[dramatic music]
¶ ¶
[overlapping yelling]
- Uhh!
[somber music]
[glass shatters]
[flames roar]
[loud thunder]
[thunder rumbling]
[somber music]
¶ ¶
Measure your life
by counting precious moments.
You...will conquer
all obstacles.
Your smile is a treasure
to all who know you.
Oh, please.
[sobbing]
- Are you hurt?
- She was trying
to protect me.
[melancholy music]
[sniffles]
[thunder rumbles]
[crying]
[somber music]
[thunder rumbles]
- Go see if they have
any food...
that ain't
hanging from a rope.
[thunder rumbling]
[tense music]
¶ ¶
Call yourself "Bleeders"?
Kill everybody that passes?
You eat 'em too, huh?
Headed to a place
about 30 miles west from here.
It's called Titan.
You know what
I'm talking about?
Do you?
- I don't know
what it's called,
but there's a place
with lights and sounds.
- What else?
- Some went in to see
if there was anything to take.
Didn't come back.
We've been staying east
ever since.
- All right.
[eerie music]
¶ ¶
[thunder rumbles]
- It's coming.
We have maybe a day or two,
but that's it.
People are tired,
need rest.
- No stopping.
Everybody,
get your shit together!
[water splashes]
- Let's go.
- Hey, hey.
Hey!
You don't order me around.
I'm the Mother,
not you.
Wise are those who know
that they are not wise.
- Your wisdom
used to have meaning,
and now it's just...
- Sorry to interrupt, ma'am.
But the storms are moving.
We should hurry up.
- Stop that.
- He killed you.
- Look at him.
He knows it.
And I decide
what happens to him.
Not you.
Got it?
- We vowed to protect Mother.
You are not her.
[tense music]
¶ ¶
- Well, we found
their base camp.
There's no food.
These people were starving.
[exhales] Like us.
- We should get the bodies down
and burn them before we go.
[horse whinnies]
[tense music]
¶ ¶
- How far did you get?
How far did you--
- It's not there!
¶ ¶
I used the tracker
and the coordinates.
Nothing is there.
I scouted the entire area.
You're wrong, Ramse.
Titan doesn't exist.
[tense music]
¶ ¶
¶ ¶
- Zeit says that Titan
doesn't exist.
[metallic click]
- It does.
She's wrong.
- No, I think you're wrong,
old man.
If you're willing to bet
your life on this, that's fine.
But we've already lost
two sisters today.
We're not losing any more.
It's over.
¶ ¶
- What are you going to do?
You gonna take your girls?
Huh?
Where are you going to go?
Huh?!
[thunder rumbles]
Take a look at those skies.
Cole didn't stop anything.
The only way we survive
is if we find Titan
and we kill the Witness.
- We're done here.
- Jennifer!
You want to set
your people straight?!
¶ ¶
- Ramse.
It's better to have
a hen today
than an egg tomorrow.
Your present plans--
- Our...
Mother...is...dead!
¶ ¶
We're done following
this girl.
[dramatic music]
- Then do as I say.
[thunder rumbles]
¶ ¶
- Oh-oh.
Try not to die.
- Oh, come on.
Don't.
¶ ¶
- [grunts]
[thud]
Ooh!
- [grunts]
[both grunting]
[thwack]
Uhh!
Uh...ah!
[suspenseful music]
- [grunts]
- Oh!
[knife slices]
- No!
[suspenseful music]
Stop!
[triggers cock]
Don't!
[thunder rumbles]
No more killing!
¶ ¶
Stop.
¶ ¶
- Weapons down.
Our sister chose this
for herself.
[dramatic music]
¶ ¶
- Please, Ramse.
¶ ¶
[knife thuds softly]
- Jeb Donaldson.
Rory McEntire.
Reginald Depuy.
All right, gents,
we're heading up on the roof
to work on the drains.
I'll be supervising you,
because the last time
we did this job,
some nimrod fell off
and busted his head clean open.
Had to shovel him off
the pavement.
So watch yourselves,
because I don't want to be
dealing with that shit again.
The system
is gonna need cleaning, fixing,
and we got
three days to do it.
Let's go.
- Hey, Roger.
- Yeah.
- You going up to the roof
with those guys?
- I don't got much
of a choice now, do I?
- Hey, hey, why don't you let me
supervise instead?
I could use the overtime.
It's gonna be
freezing up there.
You want to spend the next three
days shivering your ass off,
baby-sitting
a bunch of mooks?
- Clear your shift.
Meet me up there in 20.
- All right.
- Why on earth would you sign up
for such a shit detail?
- You see that guy?
The squirrelly one
on the end.
- Yeah, what about him?
- Few years ago,
I did some time.
- For what?
- Bar fight.
Doesn't matter.
Anyway, he was in there
with me.
Did something to a lady.
Used to draw dirty pictures.
If you get my drift.
I just want to keep
an eye on him.
- Yeah.
[tense music]
¶ ¶
- [softly]
I found a way in.
One of the guys
on the crew,
he had that...
twitchy quality to him.
- Did you talk to him?
- I'm heading up there
right now.
Listen, the guy's name
is Reginald Dupuy.
See if you can find
any hiring paperwork,
maybe with an address on
or something.
- Dupuy, I'll see
what I can find.
Cole, if it's him--
- Do what I have to.
[suspenseful music]
- Hey, man,
watch what you're doing.
These are my good shoes.
¶ ¶
- Hey, your name is Reginald,
right?
- Yes, sir.
- Why don't you
come with me?
[tense music]
¶ ¶
- Hey, there,
Rocky Marciano.
You know, you're not supposed
to be going through
those hiring files.
[whispering]
Those are confidential.
- I was looking for paper.
- Here.
You from around here?
You serve in the war?
No?
[suspenseful music]
[background chatter]
[phone ringing]
¶ ¶
Spend any time
in the hospital?
Draw things you see
in your head?
Monkeys?
¶ ¶
Hear voices?
Talking about things
that haven't happened yet?
Red Forests?
Green to Red?
- Time, uh...
¶ ¶
Time...
Time to go.
Back to work.
¶ ¶
- Where have you been?
- Tried to follow him,
but I lost him
at the train tracks.
Cass, I think it's him.
- Cole.
It is him.
[dramatic music]
- Those coordinates say Titan
should be right here.
- I told you it wasn't.
- The tracker you were using
was hooked up to the transponder
in the Humvee
that burned down.
It sent you
in the wrong direction.
- No.
- There's hills
and valleys here.
You could've been close
and you missed it.
- So this is the route
we should take,
but we don't know
what's out there.
There's less than
20 of us now.
- Well, we do what we can
with what we have.
I'm not stopping.
- They're not
going with you.
I can't make them.
- We have to go with them.
The time-storms will kill us
if we stay.
Convince them--
they need your wisdom.
- My wisdom?
You want my wisdom?
[thunder rumbling]
"Measure your life by counting
the precious moments."
"Your smile is a treasure
to all who know you."
"Your lucky numbers are 10,
42, 75, and 3."
- What is this?
This is how you lead?
- Uh, spoiler alert:
I'm not wise old me, am I?
And if I'm being frank,
my daughters are assholes!
Knife fights,
ridiculous eye shadow
and serious,
serious Mommy issues.
And the worst part is,
you're all I have to look
forward to in my retirement.
So much for backgammon
and Palm Springs.
- Ramse, wait!
- Where are you going?
- You taught us
to be willing
to give our lives
for each other.
If you won't be a part
of saving theirs,
at least
give them yours.
[thunder rumbles]
I'm coming with you.
[dramatic music]
- There he is. Hey, hey.
What are you doing?
- I'm going with you.
- No, no, if he sees
us together,
he's gonna know
something's up.
I can handle this on my own.
You don't need to be here.
- Cole.
- Trust me.
If something goes wrong,
I'll meet you back at the hotel.
Go!
[suspenseful music]
Reggie, hey.
New drill today.
I got to take you
in the back.
Yeah, come on.
This way.
¶ ¶
- What is this?
- Just keep walking.
- What'd I do, huh?
¶ ¶
[commotion]
[men exclaiming]
What is this?
- You telling me
you don't have any idea?
¶ ¶
- Where are we going?
¶ ¶
[cocks trigger]
- Turn around.
- I'm s--
- You know why
this has to happen.
¶ ¶
[indistinct excited chatter]
¶ ¶
- Oh, my God!
There's a woman here
with a gun.
[voices rising,
indistinct chatter]
¶ ¶
[metal clattering]
[men exclaiming]
¶ ¶
- Where's my husband?
- Who's your husband?
¶ ¶
Put it down.
- You're Primary.
You know what happens to you.
- I'm...
I'm so--
- Turn around.
[suspenseful music]
- I'm sorry.
- What?
- I took the money.
- What money?
What are you talking about?
- The money he gave me,
to act like
I was afraid of you.
But he drew the picture.
- Who is your husband?
- Charlie.
¶ ¶
- [coughs]
- Baby, put that down.
- It's time.
Take it.
It hurts my hand
to hold it like this.
[Cole breathing hard]
[dramatic music]
- You know what you're supposed
to do with this.
I've known my whole life.
I knew it would be you
from the moment I saw you.
¶ ¶
It's time.
I'm ready.
- [breathing heavily]
¶ ¶
- You're one of the 12.
You're a Messenger.
- I was.
But I won't be.
Not to her.
I can't hurt her.
- I don't want
to hurt her either.
- Charlie.
Today is the day I die.
- She's Primary.
If you paradox her,
you'll destroy everyone.
Everything.
Where's the other Messenger?
- He's dead.
I'm not like them.
Not everything
the Witness said was true.
Because when I saw you,
I just--
I couldn't do it.
- Do this...
and we can live forever
in the Red Forest like you said.
- Charlie!
- I'm sorry, Cole.
But you of all people
should understand this.
[grunt and shotgun]
[dramatic music]
¶ ¶
[boom]
¶ ¶
- Do you see that?
[thunder rumbling]
- I swear to you...
this wasn't here before.
- My God.
¶ ¶
- How many days has the patient
been in coma?
- 19.
- I can't believe
she's still with us.
Much luckier than the others.
[indistinct P.A. announcement]
[soft music]
¶ ¶
- [whispers] Cass.
I know you can't hear me.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
I couldn't stop it.
[exhales]
The best thing
that can happen now...
is for you to wake up...
and forget you ever knew me.
¶ ¶
[suspenseful music]
Olivia: You're walking
through a Red Forest.
The grass is tall.
It's just rained.
[thunder rumbles]
Most of the blood
has washed away.
There's a house
in the distance.
Cedar and pine.
You've been there before.
You're not alone.
[dramatic music]
- [gasps]
[clipboard clatters]
- We weren't sure
if you'd ever wake up.
You sustained
quite a few injuries.
The trauma to your head was--
- What happened?
- The factory.
Some kind of explosion.
- Cole.
Where's Cole?
- We haven't had any patients
from the explosion
besides you for six months.
It's a miracle
you're still alive.
- Six months?
- You were out
for quite some time.
The explosion happened
in 1957.
It's now 1958.
[dramatic music]
¶ ¶
[background chatter]
- Nurse?
Nurse.
Sorry. You know I don't like
calling you that,
but until you finish
those courses,
I don't know what else
to call you.
- What is it, Dr. Ed?
- The kid with the bug bite
and the rash.
- I told you, it's Lyme--
- Look, I went through
this whole book.
I've called every colleague
I have.
Not one of them has ever heard
of anything called
Lyme disease
or watermelon disease
or potato disease either.
Look, I got really good marks
in Med School.
- The patient
needs Penicillin V
or he'll die.
Trust me.
Have I been wrong yet?
¶ ¶
Where are you right now?
Someplace warm?
Safe?
Next to someone you love?
- I'll have a whisky sour.
¶ ¶
[knock on the door]
- Good afternoon, ma'am.
The American Union
representative
dropped this off for you.
Said to say they found
an address
for that name
you were looking for.
¶ ¶
- And who are you?
- Morris.
Morrison.
[solemn music]
¶ ¶
[suspenseful music]
¶ ¶
- [grunts]
Ah!
Damn it!
[hisses]
[groans]
Ah...
[soft music]
¶ ¶
What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?
- The house?
It's mine.
I bought it.
- Why this house?
- I was driving by,
saw the "for sale" sign.
It needs a lot of work.
The hospital.
They weren't sure if you were
ever gonna wake up.
But I knew you would.
- Why did you go?
- I couldn't do it.
Not after.
- So you ran?
- I did what I always told you
I was gonna do.
I found a place for you
to be happy.
I mean, look around.
There's no plague here.
There's no Red Forest.
You're safe.
You can live a life.
- So that's it?
After all of that,
we just forget about the future?
- I don't know
what else to do.
I'm done trying to figure out
the answer to everything.
- [sighs]
- We failed.
For some reason
we're still here.
- You being...here
doesn't make sense.
- I'm also done trying
to make sense of everything.
You should be too.
You can hate me for leaving.
But I did it for you.
- No, you didn't.
You did it for you
because you're afraid.
[thunder rumbles]
You're bleeding.
- It's nothing.
- Do you have running water
at least?
- [chuckles]
Yeah.
- Easy.
We have to wash it first.
It's not as bad as it looked.
Just bled a lot.
[echoing] Most of the blood
has washed away.
[loud thunder]
- What is it?
[tense music]
¶ ¶
- I know this room.
- How?
Olivia: You're walking through
a Red Forest.
[loud thunder]
The grass is tall.
It's just rained.
- Ah!
- [echoing] Most of the blood
has washed away.
[eerie music]
Olivia: There's a house
in the distance.
Cedar and pine.
You've been there before.
- I've been here before.
¶ ¶
Olivia: You're not alone.
There is a man.
You see him.
Go to him.
Know him.
[moving music]
Olivia and Railly:
Like a memory of tomorrow.
They knew this place.
This moment.
You.
- What are you talking about?
¶ ¶
[metal groans]
[metallic squeak]
- Shh!
[distant '20s music]
¶ ¶
- Why would you walk
towards the weird music?
Ramse, nothing about
this place says "good idea."
- He's here.
Keep moving.
[thunder rumbles]
[distant '20s music
continues]
¶ ¶
Turn around!
[echoing]
Turn around...around...
['20s music continues]
[intense musical build-up]
Time hasn't collapsed.
Go. Live.
For once, there's time.
- This isn't permanent.
I still die at the CDC
in 2018.
- You don't know that.
To hell with causality.
You don't have
to be afraid anymore!
Go live a life that's not full
of fear and death.
- But the world
will still end.
- I know Ramse.
He wouldn't give up.
He found Titan.
He found the Witness.
- Take off the mask!
[echoing]
Take off the mask...mask...
Take off the mask!
The mask...mask...
- Until the world comes

- I guess you really know
what you're doing here.
I'll leave you to it.
- Cassie!
- What?
- I'm leaving you alone.
That's what you want.
- That's not why I left.
- Then what was it?
- I wanted you to be free...
of me.
- I never asked
to be free of you.
You coward, you know
that's not why you left me.
You left me because
you're in love with me.
[dramatic music]
I've always known, Cole.

- And you kept
pushing me away...
so that in the end
you wouldn't have
anything to lose.
And now...
you don't.

I found a place for you
to be happy.
I mean, look around.
There's no plague here.
There's no Red Forest.
You're safe.
You can live a life.
- So that's it?
After all of that,
we just forget about the future?
- I don't know
what else to do.
I'm done trying to figure out
the answer to everything.
- [sighs]
- We failed.
For some reason
we're still here.
- You being...here
doesn't make sense.
- I'm also done trying
to make sense of everything.
You should be too.
You can hate me for leaving.
But I did it for you.
- No, you didn't.
You did it for you
because you're afraid.
[thunder rumbles]
You're bleeding.
- It's nothing.
- Do you have running water
at least?
- [chuckles]
Yeah.
- Easy.
We have to wash it first.
It's not as bad as it looked.
Just bled a lot.
[echoing] Most of the blood
has washed away.

Paradox Primaries.

Just one more we don't know.
- 1957.
Upstate New York,
a paradox so powerful,
destroys the fabric of time.

- Spit in the face

["When We Get Together by Bob

Paradox happens November 7th
at that factory.
That gives us 11 months
to find the Primary
before the Messengers do.
¶ ¶
- Primary's gotta be
one of the employees.
There over 200 people
who work there.
How are we going to figure out
which one is the Primary?

Get to know people.
Make friends. Blend in.
- Then what?
- Look out
for the strange ones.
Being Primary is like
being schizophrenic.
Look for people
who twitch,
talk to themselves,
don't fit in with others,
people who stand out.
- ¶ Take off your coat

What if...
they seem normal?

No exceptions.
Remember, the link between
Jennifer, Tommy, and Kyle
is that they each saw and drew
the same thing--
a face, a screaming monkey.
- Oh, hey, Cole.
How are you, pal?
- Come on!
- Jeez Louise.
What's the problem, Cole?
Don't be such a pansy.

what a paradox is?
- I sure do.

Thanks for the drink.

you are a piece of work.
["When We Get Together" ends]
[tense music]
- That's it.
We've been through everyone.

- You sure
about this one?
- He's not Primary.
- Did you look
at all the drawings?
Maybe there was some kind
of a code or a pattern.
Did you go through
every single page?
- Yeah, the ones
that weren't stuck together.
Trust me, it's not him.
- Sometimes
you miss things.
- Really? Does that make me
stupid or a liar?
Neither one changes the fact
the guy's not Primary.
Look, we're really scraping
the bottom of the barrel
with these two.
Are you sure
that none of these people
look like the Messengers
you saw in 2043?
- I only got a good look
at a few of them, not all.
What about Sully O'Dare
or Andrew Peterson?
One of them--
- No and no.
I checked, I told you.
- Check again.
- Peterson got fired
for boozing on the job.
He's not even gonna be there
on the 7th.
And O'Dare, I tried so hard
to get to know O'Dare
he thinks I'm trying
to get into his pants.
- That's what
you're worried about?
- None of these people
are Primary.
We got two days left.
We need to focus.
- Maybe you've been wrong.
Maybe the Tall Man
lied to you.
We haven't even seen
any sign of a Messenger.
- We know there's gonna be
a paradox.
- [sighs]
- Okay, what about you?
- What about me?
- Maybe you missed something.
Hmm? All these,
uh, supervisors
and supply salesmen.
Maybe you've been enjoying
your job a little too much.
- I would be very careful
about what you say
to me next, Cole.
Where are you going?
- Out.
So I don't have to say it.
[tense music]
- [sighs]
[mellow rock and roll plays]
- Whisky sour.
Thanks.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Charlie.
What are you doing here?
- It's, uh,
my night out.
- I don't get it.
- Melinda says that
I can't be home tonight.
Says I can't just sit around
and watch her be sick
all the time.
- How is she doing?
- She has that beautiful,
dark hair.
Started falling out
last week.
It's that chemotherapy.
You know, the same chemical
that they put in her body
is what they use
in mustard gas?
The same shit
that killed people
in that war...
it's in her veins.
- I'm sorry.
- So what are you doing here?
- I'm just clearing my head.
- Let me guess, uh...
she's getting tired
of you being
paranoid about people.
[chuckles]
- I got my reasons.
- Commies?
- Yeah.
- [chuckles]
I swear you see more red
than goddamn
Joe McCarthy did.
Instead,
you could go upstairs
and put your arms around
that pretty lady
and make nice for once.
- It's not like that.
- Sure, it is.
- It's not.
[music continues
in background]
- Yeah.
You're probably right.
You're better off.
I heard that she's been
on more "dates"
than that "Playboy"
with Jayne Mansfield in it.
- Whoa, hey.
- See? You do care.
And whatever is stopping
you two, it isn't worth it.
This whole world
could eat shit and die.
It wouldn't matter
if you were together.
¶ ¶
You know...
Melinda's doctor
told me that I should think
about buying her a nice gift
for Christmas.
Something special.
Because he doesn't think
that she will...
¶ ¶
It's just so cruel.
So when I say what I say,
you know I know.
Because when
it comes down to it,
the only thing
you'll be wishing for
is more time.
Trust me.

Speaking of, I'm gonna
take my own advice

- [sighs]
- It's over?
- Yes.
- I asked the operator
to switch me
into the one of the party lines
near the factory.
I heard people talking
about a job.
You know
the drainage system
they're always complaining
about on the factory's roof?
- Yeah.
- They're hiring day laborers
to fix it.
One of them--
- Could be our Primary.
- That would explain why
we haven't found them yet.
Cole...
[somber music]
¶ ¶
I know these months here
have been hard.
We haven't been very good
to each other.
The stress and...
- Yeah, there's never enough
time, is there?
¶ ¶
- I had...hoped that Ramse
could find Titan
and if the Witness were there,
they could kill him,
and undo all this somehow.
But it's getting too late
to rely on that.
This is our last chance.

You eat 'em too, huh?
Headed to a place
about 30 miles west from here.
It's called Titan.
You know what
I'm talking about?
Do you?
- I don't know
what it's called,
but there's a place
with lights and sounds.
- What else?
- Some went in to see
if there was anything to take.
Didn't come back.
We've been staying east
ever since.
- All right.

We have maybe a day or two,

People are tired,

Everybody,
get your shit together!

- Hey, hey.
Hey!
You don't order me around.
I'm the Mother,
not you.
Wise are those who know
that they are not wise.
- Your wisdom
used to have meaning,
and now it's just...
- Sorry to interrupt, ma'am.
But the storms are moving.
We should hurry up.
- Stop that.
- He killed you.
- Look at him.
He knows it.
And I decide
what happens to him.
Not you.
Got it?
- We vowed to protect Mother.
You are not her.
[tense music]
¶ ¶
- Well, we found
their base camp.
There's no food.
These people were starving.
[exhales] Like us.
- We should get the bodies down
and burn them before we go.
[horse whinnies]
[tense music]
¶ ¶
- How far did you get?
How far did you--
- It's not there!
¶ ¶
I used the tracker
and the coordinates.
Nothing is there.
I scouted the entire area.
You're wrong, Ramse.
Titan doesn't exist.
[tense music]
¶ ¶
¶ ¶
- Zeit says that Titan
doesn't exist.
[metallic click]
- It does.
She's wrong.
- No, I think you're wrong,
old man.
If you're willing to bet
your life on this, that's fine.
But we've already lost
two sisters today.
We're not losing any more.
It's over.
¶ ¶
- What are you going to do?
You gonna take your girls?
Huh?
Where are you going to go?
Huh?!
[thunder rumbles]
Take a look at those skies.
Cole didn't stop anything.
The only way we survive
is if we find Titan
and we kill the Witness.
- We're done here.
- Jennifer!
You want to set
your people straight?!

- Ramse.
It's better to have
a hen today
than an egg tomorrow.

[knife thuds softly]
- Jeb Donaldson.
Rory McEntire.
Reginald Depuy.
All right, gents,
we're heading up on the roof
to work on the drains.
I'll be supervising you,
because the last time
we did this job,
some nimrod fell off
and busted his head clean open.
Had to shovel him off
the pavement.
So watch yourselves,
because I don't want to be
dealing with that shit again.
The system
is gonna need cleaning, fixing,
and we got
three days to do it.
Let's go.
- Hey, Roger.
- Yeah.
- You going up to the roof
with those guys?
- I don't got much
of a choice now, do I?
- Hey, hey, why don't you let me
supervise instead?
I could use the overtime.
It's gonna be
freezing up there.
You want to spend the next three
days shivering your ass off,
baby-sitting
a bunch of mooks?
- Clear your shift.
Meet me up there in 20.
- All right.
- Why on earth would you sign up
for such a shit detail?
- You see that guy?
The squirrelly one
on the end.
- Yeah, what about him?
- Few years ago,
I did some time.
- For what?
- Bar fight.
Doesn't matter.
Anyway, he was in there
with me.
Did something to a lady.
Used to draw dirty pictures.
If you get my drift.
I just want to keep
an eye on him.
- Yeah.
[tense music]
¶ ¶
- [softly]
I found a way in.
One of the guys
on the crew,
he had that...
twitchy quality to him.
- Did you talk to him?
- I'm heading up there
right now.
Listen, the guy's name
is Reginald Dupuy.
See if you can find
any hiring paperwork,
maybe with an address on
or something.
- Dupuy, I'll see
what I can find.
Cole, if it's him--
- Do what I have to.
[suspenseful music]

watch what you're doing.
These are my good shoes.

You know, you're not supposed

Time...
Time to go.
Back to work.

- Where have you been?
- Tried to follow him,
but I lost him
at the train tracks.
Cass, I think it's him.
- Cole.
It is him.
[dramatic music]
- Those coordinates say Titan
should be right here.
- I told you it wasn't.
- The tracker you were using
was hooked up to the transponder
in the Humvee
that burned down.
It sent you
in the wrong direction.
- No.
- There's hills
and valleys here.
You could've been close
and you missed it.
- So this is the route
we should take,
but we don't know
what's out there.
There's less than
20 of us now.
- Well, we do what we can
with what we have.
I'm not stopping.
- They're not
going with you.
I can't make them.
- We have to go with them.
The time-storms will kill us
if we stay.
Convince them--
they need your wisdom.
- My wisdom?
You want my wisdom?
[thunder rumbling]
"Measure your life by counting
the precious moments."
"Your smile is a treasure
to all who know you."
"Your lucky numbers are 10,

This is how you lead?
- Uh, spoiler alert:
I'm not wise old me, am I?
And if I'm being frank,
my daughters are assholes!
Knife fights,
ridiculous eye shadow
and serious,
serious Mommy issues.
And the worst part is,
you're all I have to look
forward to in my retirement.
So much for backgammon
and Palm Springs.
- Ramse, wait!
- Where are you going?
- You taught us
to be willing
to give our lives
for each other.
If you won't be a part
of saving theirs,
at least
give them yours.
[thunder rumbles]
I'm coming with you.
[dramatic music]
- There he is. Hey, hey.
What are you doing?
- I'm going with you.
- No, no, if he sees
us together,
he's gonna know
something's up.
I can handle this on my own.
You don't need to be here.
- Cole.
- Trust me.
If something goes wrong,
I'll meet you back at the hotel.
Go!

Reggie, hey.
New drill today.
I got to take you
in the back.
Yeah, come on.

to act like
I was afraid of you.
But he drew the picture.
- Who is your husband?
- Charlie.

Take it.
It hurts my hand
to hold it like this.

You're a Messenger.

But I won't be.
Not to her.
I can't hurt her.
- I don't want
to hurt her either.
- Charlie.
Today is the day I die.
- She's Primary.
If you paradox her,
you'll destroy everyone.
Everything.
Where's the other Messenger?
- He's dead.
I'm not like them.
Not everything
the Witness said was true.
Because when I saw you,
I just--
I couldn't do it.
- Do this...
and we can live forever
in the Red Forest like you said.
- Charlie!
- I'm sorry, Cole.
But you of all people
should understand this.

Some kind of explosion.
- Cole.
Where's Cole?
- We haven't had any patients
from the explosion
besides you for six months.
It's a miracle
you're still alive.

I've called every colleague
I have.
Not one of them has ever heard
of anything called
Lyme disease

But I knew you would.
- Why did you go?
- I couldn't do it.
Not after.
- So you ran?
- I did what I always told you
I was gonna do.
I found a place for you
to be happy.
I mean, look around.
There's no plague here.
There's no Red Forest.
You're safe.
You can live a life.
- So that's it?
After all of that,
we just forget about the future?
- I don't know
what else to do.
I'm done trying to figure out
the answer to everything.
- [sighs]
- We failed.
For some reason
we're still here.
- You being...here
doesn't make sense.
- I'm also done trying
to make sense of everything.
You should be too.
You can hate me for leaving.
But I did it for you.
- No, you didn't.
You did it for you
because you're afraid.
[thunder rumbles]
You're bleeding.
- It's nothing.
- Do you have running water
at least?
- [chuckles]
Yeah.
- Easy.
We have to wash it first.
It's not as bad as it looked.
Just bled a lot.
[echoing] Most of the blood
has washed away.
[loud thunder]
- What is it?
[tense music]
¶ ¶
- I know this room.
- How?
Olivia: You're walking through
a Red Forest.
[loud thunder]
The grass is tall.
It's just rained.
- Ah!
- [echoing] Most of the blood
has washed away.
[eerie music]
Olivia: There's a house
in the distance.
Cedar and pine.
You've been there before.
- I've been here before.
¶ ¶
Olivia: You're not alone.
There is a man.
You see him.
Go to him.
Know him.
[moving music]
Olivia and Railly:
Like a memory of tomorrow.
They knew this place.
This moment.
You.
- What are you talking about?
¶ ¶
[metal groans]
[metallic squeak]
- Shh!
[distant '20s music]
¶ ¶
- Why would you walk
towards the weird music?
Ramse, nothing about
this place says "good idea."
- He's here.
Keep moving.
[thunder rumbles]
[distant '20s music
continues]
¶ ¶
Turn around!
[echoing]
Turn around...around...
['20s music continues]
[intense musical build-up]
Time hasn't collapsed.
Go. Live.
For once, there's time.
- This isn't permanent.
I still die at the CDC
in 2018.
- You don't know that.
To hell with causality.
You don't have
to be afraid anymore!
Go live a life that's not full
of fear and death.
- But the world
will still end.
- I know Ramse.
He wouldn't give up.
He found Titan.
He found the Witness.
- Take off the mask!
[echoing]
Take off the mask...mask...
Take off the mask!
The mask...mask...
- Until the world comes
crashing down around our heads,
we have to believe
it's over.
All of it.
[thunder claps]
¶ ¶
- I guess you really know
what you're doing here.
I'll leave you to it.
- Cassie!
- What?
- I'm leaving you alone.
That's what you want.
- That's not why I left.
- Then what was it?
- I wanted you to be free...
of me.
- I never asked
to be free of you.
You coward, you know
that's not why you left me.
You left me because
you're in love with me.
[dramatic music]
I've always known, Cole.
¶ ¶
- And you kept
pushing me away...
so that in the end
you wouldn't have
anything to lose.
And now...
you don't.
[mystical music]

Ramse.

- Aah!
