"What are we for then?" "We're consumers, Jim." "Okay, okay." "Buy a lot of stuff, you're a good citizen." "But if you don't buy a lot of stuff, what are you then?" "What?" "You're mentally ill." "Fact, Jim." "Fact!" "If you don't buy things: toilet paper, new cars, electrically-operated sexual devices, stereo systems with brain-implanted headphones, screwdrivers with miniature built-in radar devices, voice-activated computers" "Take it easy, Jeffrey." "Be calm!" "Right." "That's right." "You're a very attractive woman." "Hah!" "If you want to watch a particular television program, like All My Children, you can go to the charge nurse and tell her the day, the time the show you wanna see is on." "But you have to tell her before the show is scheduled to be on." "There was this guy, and he was always requesting shows that had already played." "Yes." "No." "You have to tell her before." "He couldn't quite grasp the idea that the charge nurse couldn't make it be yesterday." "She couldn't turn back time!" "Thank you, Einstein." "Now he, he was nuts." "He was a fruitcake, Jim." "Okay, that's it, Jeffrey." "You're gonna get a shot." " I warned you." " Right." "Right, right, right." "I got a little carried away... explaining the inner workings of the institution to Jim."

"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 even though this is a totally 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." "You've got some real nuts here!" "I know some things that you don't know." "It's gonna be very difficult for you to understand it." " Hey!" " Hey, hey." "I'm not gonna hurt anyone!" "All right." "Look, have any of you heard... of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys?" "They, they paint this." "They stencil this on the sides of buildings everywhere." " Have you seen this?" " Mr. Cole?" "Why don't you take your time and try to explain this from the beginning?" "Right, right." "It's 1990." "Okay, that makes sense." "They wouldn't've been active yet." "Um" "Five billion people died in 1996 and 1997." "Almost the entire population of the world." "Only about one percent of us survived." " Are you going to save us?" " How can I save you?" "This already happened." "I can't save you." "Nobody can." "I am simply trying to gather 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, is that it?" "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 out if I make a telephone call." "Who would you call?" "Who would straighten everything out?" "The scientists." "They'll want to know that 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?" "What are you doin' in the dog bowl?" "Get outta there!" " Who put those Doritos in there anyway?" "Yes?" "What?" "Voice mail?" "Look, I don't know- Stop makin' that noise!" "I don't know what you're talkin' about." "Is this a joke?" "I don't know any scientists." "Duanne, get out- James who?" "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 the strangest feeling I've met you before." "Wait." "This is 1990." "I'm supposed to be leaving messages in 1996!" "It's not the right number yet!" "That's the problem!" "We have a message for them." "No!" "Won't work." "Can't open it." "You think you can remove the grill, but you can't." "It's welded." "See?" "Told you." "All the doors are locked too." "They're protecting the people on the outside from us... when the people on the outside are as crazy as us." "Do you know what "crazy" is?" "Crazy is majority rules." "Yeah." "Take germs for example." "Germs?" "In the eighteenth century, no such thing." "Nada." "Nothing." "No one ever imagined such a thing!" "No sane person anyway." "Along comes this doctor." "Semmelweis!" "Semmelweis." "Semmelweis comes along and he's trying to convince people, other doctors mainly, that there are these teeny, tiny, invisible bad things called germs... that get into your body and make you sick." "He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands." "What is this guy?" "Crazy?" "Teeny, tiny, invisible "what do you call 'em?" "Germs?" "Huh?" "What?"" "Now, cut to the twentieth century." "Last week as a matter of fact, right before I got dragged into this hellhole!" "I go in to order a burger in this fast-food joint." "The guy drops it on the floor." "Jim, he picks it up, wipes it off." "He hands it to me like it was all okay." ""What about the germs?" I say." "He says, "I don't believe in germs." "Germs are a plot they made up so they can sell you disinfectants and soaps"." "Now, he's crazy, right?" "See?" "There's no right." "There's no wrong." "There's only popular opinion." "You, you, you believe in germs, right?" "I'm not crazy." "Of course not!" "You wanna escape, right?" "That's very sane." "I can help you." "You want me to, don't ya?" "Get you out?" " You know how to get outta here?" "Yes, my son!" " Then why don't ya?" " Why don't I try to escape?" "That's what you were gonna ask." "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 managed to contact certain underlings, evil spirits, secretaries of secretaries, and other assorted minions who will contact my father." "And when my father finds out I'm in this kind of place, he'll have them transfer me to one of those classy joints... where they treat you properly, like a person, a guest!" "With sheets and towels like a big hotel, with great drugs for all of us nut-case, lunatic, maniac devils!" "Sorry." "Uh, sorry." "I got a little agitated." "The thought of escape crossed my mind." "And suddenly" "Suddenly I felt like bending the fucking bars back!" "And ripping out the goddamn window frames and eating them!" "Yes, eating them!" "And leaping, leaping, leaping!" "Colonics for everyone!" "Ahh, all right!" "You dumb assholes, I'm a mental patient." "I'm supposed to act out." "Wait'll you morons find out who I am!" "My father's gonna be really upset." "And when my father gets upset, the ground shakes." "My father is God!" "I worship my father!" "These dramatic videotapes, secretly obtained by animal rights activists, have aroused public indignation." "But many scientists vehemently disagree." "Torture experiments." " 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 askin' for it." "Animals inside the lab" "Maybe the human race deserves to be wiped out." "Wiping out the human race?" "It's a great idea!" "It's great!" "But more of a long-term thing." "First we have to 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 a reporter?" "It's private." " A lawsuit?" "You gonna sue 'em?" " It's private!" "Yo, Jimbo."

"Get it?" "Monkey." "Monk key." "Monk key!" "What?" "If you see a bearish future in the decade ahead, consider the changes sweeping the world and the opportunities they offer." ""And the opportunities they offer"." "They really dosed you." "Jim!" "Major load." "Danger, Will Robinson, danger." "You gotta get it together." "Focus, focus, focus." "Remember the plan." "I did my part!" "What?" "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 now." "Five hundred dollars." "I got five hundred dollars." "I'm insured!" "Yeah!" "Window of opportunity is opening now." "Now is the time for all good men to seize the moment." "The moment!" "Now is the time for all good men to seize the day!" " Aha!" " Goddamn it, Jeffrey!" "Quit playin' the fool!" "MasterCard!" "Visa!" "The key to happiness!" "Jim, seize the moment!" "Jeffrey, come back here!" " For God's sake!" " Jeffrey!" " Go, Jim!" " Get out." "Out!" " Come here, Jeffrey!" "The future can be yours!"

"James Cole is one of yours, right?" "He eloped." "Last seen, he was up on two." "Shit!" "We have to know exactly what's there so we can fix it." "Doctor, we have a visitor." "Um, may I help you?" "Excuse me?" "May I help you?" "Excuse me?" "Excuse me?" "Jim?" "Jim?" "Hey, Jimbo." "What's up, man?" "Hey, Jimbo." "All right, it's okay." "Take it easy." " It'll be all right." " Take care." "Take it easy." "Take it easy." "We'll work this out, okay?" "Send you back to your room." "A little milk and cookies, you'll be all right." "Just take it easy, okay?" " Come on." "Calm down!" "Take him down!" "Take him the fuck down!" "I'm not gonna hurt anyone." "Dr. Railly, help me please." " We're gonna give you something to calm you, James." " No!" "No more drugs!" "James, we have to do this." "You're very confused." "No drugs!" "Stop it!" "Kathryn, we've been working together for four years." "I've never seen you like this." "So please stop being so defensive." "This isn't an inquisition." "I didn't think I was being defensive." "I was trying to explain exactly what" "He should've been in restraints." "It was bad judgment on your part, plain and simple." "Why not own up to it?" "Okay, it was bad judgment, but I have the strangest feeling about him." " I've seen him someplace, and I'm trying" " Two policemen are in the hospital." "Now we've got a security guard with a skull fracture." "I said it was bad judgment!" "What else do you want me to say?" "You see that?" "See what I mean?" " You're being defensive." "Isn't she being defensive?" " Dr. Fletcher?" " What?" " Ah, we have... another situation." " He was fully restrained and the door was locked?" " Yes, sir." "I did it myself." "And he was fully sedated?" "He was fully sedated." "Then, are you trying to tell me a fully sedated, fully restrained patient... somehow slipped out that vent, replaced the grill behind him... and is wriggling his way through the ventilation system?" "Watch it!" "You sure fucked up!" " Where are you?" " Ah, you can talk!" "What'd you do, Bobby boy?" "My name's not Bob." "Not a prob, Bob." "Where'd they send you?" "Where are you?" "Another cell." "Maybe." "What do you mean "maybe"?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Maybe means... maybe I'm in the next cell." "Another volunteer like you." "Or maybe I'm in the Central Office... spying 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." " Where'd they send ya?" " 1990." "'90!" "How was it?" "Good drugs?" "Lots of pussy?" "Hey, Bob, you do the job?" "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." "Shh!" "They're comin'." "The Freedom for Animals Association on Second Avenue... is the secret headquarters of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys." "They are the ones who are going to do it." "I can't do any more." "I have to go now." "Have a merry Christmas." " Well?" " What?" "Did you or did you not record that message?" "It's a reconstruction of a deteriorated recording." "Weak signal." "We have to put them together one word at a time." "We just finished rebuilding this." "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?" " 1990?" " You're certain of that?" " What'd you do with your time, Cole?" "Did you waste it on drugs?" "Women?" " They forced me to take drugs." " Forced you?" "Why would someone force you to take drugs?" "I was in trouble." "I... got arrested." "I..." "I did what you wanted." "I got a specimen, a spider." "I didn't have anyplace 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 these people?" "No." "No." "Oh, wait, wait." "Him?" "You saw that man?" "Maybe in the... maybe in the mental institution." "You were in a mental institution?" "Oh, God." "Cole, you were sent back to make some very important observations." "You could've made a real contribution." "Helped us to reclaim the planet." "As well as reducing your sentence." "The question is, Cole, do you want another chance?" " Good." " Last connection going on." " Stand clear." " He was your choice." " Nothing we can do about that now." "No mistakes this time, Cole." "Stay alert." "Keep your eyes open." "Good thinking about the spider." "Try and do something like that again." "Just relax now." "Don't fight it." "We're sending you to the third quarter of 1996." "Right on the money." " What?" "I don't understand!" "What?" "I don't understand!" " Where am I?" "I gotta find 'em!" "I gotta find 'em!" "Help!" "I don't know where I am!" " You gotta help me find 'em!" " Jose?" " Jose!" " Cole!" "Cole, where are we?" "Where are we?" " Jose!" " Help me, Cole!" "Oh, God!" "Wait!"

"And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels... seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth forever and ever"." "Revelations." "In the fourteenth century, according to the accounts of local officials of that time, this man appeared suddenly in the village of Wyle near Stonehenge... in April of 1362." "Using unfamiliar words and speaking in a strange accent, the man made dire prognostications about a pestilence... which he said would wipe out humanity in approximately 600 years." "Obviously, this plague-doomsday scenario is more compelling... when reality supports it with a virulent disease, whether it's the bubonic plague, smallpox or AIDS." "Now we have technological horrors, such as chemical warfare, which reared its ugly head during the deadly mustard gas attacks of World War I." "During such an attack in the French trenches in October of 1917, we have an account of this soldier, who, during an assault, was wounded by shrapnel... and hospitalized, apparently in a state of hysteria." "Doctors found that he had lost all comprehension of French, but that he spoke English fluently, albeit in a regional dialect they didn't recognize." "The man, though physically unaffected by the gas, was beside himself." "He claimed that he had come from the future-- that he was looking for a pure germ... that would ultimately wipe mankind off the face of the Earth..." " starting in the year 1996." "Though injured, the young soldier disappeared from the hospital, no doubt trying to carry on his mission to warn others, and substituting for the agony of war... a self-inflicted agony we call the "Cassandra Complex"." "Cassandra, in Greek legend, was condemned to know the future... but to be disbelieved when she foretold it." "Hence, the agony of foreknowledge combined with the impotence to do anything about it."

"Yeah, this is Wikke from Psyche Admitting." "Do you remember James Cole?" "The paranoid who pulled the Houdini back in '90?" " Well, he's back and" "Sorry about that." "He's looking for you."

"What did I do?" "You were very upset." "You're always very upset in the dream." " 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?" "In Fresno, California, crews continue to attempt to rescue nine-year-old Ricky Neuman." "And closer to home, in Baltimore, Kathryn Railly, prominent psychiatrist and the author of a newly released book on insanity, disappeared mysteriously last night after a lecture at the university." "Former mental patient, James Cole, is wanted for questioning... regarding Dr. Railly's disappearance." "Authorities warn that Cole has a history of violence... and advise anyone spotting him to notify authorities at once." "Love this music." "We don't have this." "We don't have anything like this." " What are all those?" " These?" "My notes." "Clues." " What kind of clues?" " It's about the secret army." "The Army of the Twelve Monkeys." "They're the ones that spread the virus." "That's why I'm here." "I have to find them." "That's my mission." "I just have to locate them because they have the virus in its pure form before it mutates." "When I locate them, they'll send a scientist here." "That scientist will study the virus." "Then when he goes back to the present, he and the scientists will make a cure." "...police officers from three jurisdictions, including special tactical unit personnel, have now been mobilized to control the growing thousands of onlookers..." " in Fresno, California" " Does that disturb you?" "No." "I thought it was about us." "I thought maybe they'd captured us and arrested me." "Just a joke." "Hmm." "I remember being very afraid for that little boy." "All alone, down that well, not knowing if anybody's gonna get him out." "The first time I was ever really afraid when I was a kid."

"I said, you can't hide from them." "No, sir, ol' Bob." "Don't even try." "They hear everything." "They got that tracking device on ya." "They can find you anywhere, anytime!" "It's in the tooth." "Right, Bob?" "But I fooled 'em, old buddy." "They don't have to spy on me." "I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing." "You see?" "Here it is again." "Here, follow this paint trail." "Here." "It's here." "See?" " It's so awful!" "I" " No, no, no!" "Come with me!" " Damn it!" " The paint trail goes here." "Let go!" "Let go of my arm." "James, we shouldn't be here." "Goddamn it."

"Then Jeffrey becomes this big star, and the media latch onto him because... he's picketing his own father, a famous Nobel prize-winning virologist." " You must've seen all that on TV." " I don't watch TV." "Is this him?" "Yeah, that's him." "That's him." "What are you gonna do to us?" "Tell me more about Jeffrey." "Jeffrey started getting bored with the shit we do." "Picketing, leafletting, letter-writing stuff." "He said we were ineffectual, liberal jerk-offs." "He wanted to do guerrilla actions in order to educate the public." " Like this?" " Yeah." "That's when he let 100 snakes loose in the Senate." "But we weren't into that kind of stuff." " It's counterproductive." "We told him."

"He goes on TV and gives a news conference." "Tells the whole world... he just realized his daddy's experiments are vital for humanity... and that the use of animals is absolutely necessary." "And that from now on he, Jeffrey Goines, is going to personally supervise the labs... to make sure the little animals aren't going to suffer." "What is this?"

"...discovered less than an hour ago by hikers." "But we have an unconfirmed report that the victim, a woman in her late twenties or early thirties, was savagely mutilated." "Earlier in the day, police located Railly's abandoned car." "It was found not far" " Any sign of him?" "Nothing." "He can't just disappear." "You bastard!" "I could've died in there!" "You son of a bitch!" "What were you thinking of," " you twisted sack of shit?" " I'm sorry." "Sorry I locked you in the trunk." "I'm sick of you." "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, and the drugs and all." "Do you think it was my idea?" "Do you think maybe I've wiped out the human race?" "Nobody is gonna wipe out the human race." "Not you or Jeffrey or anybody else." "You've created something in your mind." "A" " Oh." " Mentally divergent?" " A" " 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." " They're after me." "We have to get outta here." " 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 instead of their catching you running." "Wouldn't it be great if I was crazy?" "The world would be okay." " Gimme the gun." " I wouldn't live underground." "I lost the gun." "I could live right here." "You got water, air, stars."

"I got in the car." "Thanks." "And when I- I started honking the horn." " Then when I got out, he was gone." " I'll tell you somethin'." "You lucked out." "For a while, we thought you were a body found downstate mutilated." " He wouldn't do that." " This the man he attacked?" "I wanna be clear about this, okay?" "This man and the other one were severely beating us." "James Cole didn't start it." "In fact, he saved me." "Funny thing, Doctor." "Maybe you can explain it to me, you being a psychiatrist and all." "Why is it that kidnap victims always try to tell us about the guys that 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." "Okay?" "He thinks he comes from the future." "He's been living in... a meticulously constructed fantasy world, and that world is starting to disintegrate." "He needs help." "Okay." "Exhausted but apparently unharmed by her thirty-hour ordeal," "Dr. Railly returned to Baltimore this morning without making a public statement." "The author and psychiatrist is currently in seclusion at her home." "Meantime, police have pieced together a scenario of the series of events... that began with escaped mental patient James Cole" " Sorry." " No, it's okay." "I'm just... hyperalert." "I can't sleep."

"His body was discovered in an abandoned theater... not far from where Cole left three animal rights activists bound and gagged... in their Second Avenue headquarters." "Do they really believe he's going to show up here?" "Please." "And in Fresno, California, the cornfield that was jammed with spectators" "He's dead, isn't he, that little boy?" "He's fine." "It was just a prank he and his friends pulled." "The dramatic attempt to rescue Ricky Neuman from an abandoned mine shaft... ended abruptly when playmates confessed that Neuman's disappearance was a prank... and that, in fact, the missing child was hiding in a nearby barn." "I found my thrill" "On Blueberry Hill" "On Blueberry Hill" "When I found you" "Congratulations, Cole!" " Well done." "Well done!" " Congratulations." "During your interview, while under the influence," " you told us that you liked music." " This isn't a prison." " This is a hospital." " Until you recover your equilibrium." " You're still disoriented." " It is a stressful thing." " Time travel." " You stood up very well, considering." "You connected the Army of the Twelve Monkeys with a famous virologist and his son." " Others will take over now." " We'll be back on service in months." " We'll retake the planet." " This is it, James." "What you've been working for." " A full pardon." " You'll be out of here in no time." " Women will want to know you." " I don't want your women!" "I want to get well!" "And you will be well, James." " Soon." "You know, you people don't exist." "You're not real." "We can't travel back in time." "You're not here." "You can't trick me." "You're in my" " 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 hiding 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're under tremendous emotional stress." "For God's sake, Owen, listen to me." "He knew about the boy in Fresno, and he says five billion people... are gonna die." "No way he could possibly know that!" "Kathryn!" "You're a rational person." "You're a trained psychiatrist." "You know the difference between what's real and what's not." "What we say is the truth is what everybody accepts." "Right?" "Psychiatry- it's the latest religion." "We decide what's right and wrong." "We decide who's crazy or not." "I'm in trouble here." "I'm losing my faith." "You sure fucked up, Bob." "But I can understand." "You don't want your mistakes pointed out to you." "I can relate to that, old Bob." "Hey, I know what you're thinkin'." "You're thinkin' I don't exist except in your head." "I see that point of view." " But you could still talk to me, couldn't ya?" " I saw you... in 1996, in the real world." " You pulled out your teeth." " Why would I pull out my teeth?" "That's a no-no." "And when did you say you saw me?" " In 1872?" " Leave me alone!" "Yellin' won't get you what you want." "You have to be smart to get what you want." "And what do I want?" "You don't know what you want?" "Sure you do, Bob." "You know what you want." "You tell me." "You 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?" "Hello." "Dr. Railly, Jim Halperin, Philly P.D." " Sorry to call you so early this mornin'." " You found him?" "Is he okay?" "No, no." "Au contraire, Doctor." "No sign of your good friend, the kidnapper." "However, the plot does thicken." "I've got a ballistics report on my desk." "It says the bullet you claim you removed from Mr. Cole's thigh is, in fact, an antique." "And all indications are... it was fired sometime prior to the 1920s." " How 'bout I take a spin down there?" " This can't be." "Maybe you and I can grab a bite to eat." "Maybe you could revise or 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 planet." "And I have the experience." "I know the people involved." "He really is the most qualified." "But all that behavior." "You said we weren't real, Cole." "I don't think the human mind is meant to exist in... t-two different... uh, whatever you called it..." "dimensions?" "It's just too stressful." "You said that yourself." "It's very confusing." "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... a monkey army, Doctor." "No, 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, Doctor, uh, Railly." "But, uh, if it will ease your mind, rest assured that neither my son nor any other unauthorized person... has access to potentially dangerous organisms in my laboratory." "Is that clear to you now?" "Thank you so much for your concern." "Women psychiatrists!" "I attended a lecture of hers once." ""Apocalyptic Visions"." "Yes." "She was 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." "Yeah." "Perhaps upgrade 'em, you know?" "Beef 'em up, hmm?" "Let's consider again our current information." "If the symptoms were first detected in Philadelphia... on December 27, 1996, that makes us know that" "It was released in Philadelphia, probably on December 13, 1996." "And was seen sequentially after that in" "San Francisco, New Orleans," "Rio de Janeiro," "Rome, Kinshasa," "Karachi, Bangkok, then Peking." "That was very well done, Cole." "Hello!" "Is somebody in there?" "If you're in there, I have to talk to you." " It's the kidnap woman." " Hello?" "The one who was with the guy who tied us up." " I have to talk." " Turn off the lights." "Turn off the light!" " What's she doin'?" " She's drawing attention to us, that's what." "I don't know what you're up to this time, Goines, but you're gonna get us in deep shit." " Walkies ready?" "Batteries charged?" " Mmm." "I saw you!" "I saw somebody in there!" " Come on." " Secret experiments." "That's what they do." "Secret weird stuff." " Not just on animals." " I know you." " Do 'em on people too, down at" " Have you seen James Cole?" " The man who" " They're watching you." " Takin' pictures." " The police." "I know." "Look." "I have to contact James." "It's very, very important that he's really careful when he reaches me." " Do you understand that?" "Good." " Yeah." "Yeah." "Who's James?" "He was with me." "He spoke to you... several weeks ago." "He said that you were from the future and that you were watching him." "Bolt cutters." "Bolt cutters." " Did you get bolt cutters?" " One dozen." "They're in the van." " Got the plans for the security system?" " Right here." " Committed to memory." " Hey!" "Hey!" " You know what she's doin' out there?" " What's it say?" " I don't know." "I can't see it." " Forget about my psychiatrist and concentrate on the task at hand." "Your psychiatrist?" " Did you just say your psychiatrist?" " Ex-psychiatrist." "This woman was your psychiatrist, and now she's spray-painting our building?" "What's it say?" "Kathryn!" "James?" "James!" " James." " What?" "What?" " There's a policeman over there." "Pretend you don't know me." " No." "I want to turn myself in." " Where is he?" "Where is he?" " James!" "Down!" " Come on." " No, no." "It's okay." "I'm not crazy anymore." "I mean, I am." "I'm mentally divergent." "I know that now." "I want you to help me." "I want to get better." "James!" "Let's get outta here." "He's goin'." "He's goin'." " I've seen that before." " No, James, you haven't." "A guy in a Ford is chasing her and some other guy I can't see." "No problem." "It's probably just another kidnapping... featuring Jeffrey's shrink." "Pardon me." "Make that ex-shrink." "This is your leader?" "A certifiable lunatic... who told his former psychiatrist all his plans for God knows what whacko irresponsible schemes?" "God knows what she's written on that wall!" "Who cares what psychiatrists write on walls?" "You think I told her about the Army of the Twelve Monkeys, huh?" "Impossible!" "Do you know why?" "Do you know why?" "Because, you pathetically ineffectual and pusillanimous pretend friend to animals," "I'll tell you why." "Because when I had anything to do with her six years ago, there was no such thing, I hadn't thought of it yet." " Then how come she knows what's goin' on?" " Here's my theory on that." "When I was institutionalized, my brain was studied inexhaustibly in the guise of mental health." "I was interrogated, x-rayed." "I was examined thoroughly." "They took everything about me and put it into a computer where they created a model of my mind." "Yes!" "Using that model, they managed to generate every thought I could possibly have in the next ten years, which they then filtered through a probability matrix of some kind... to determine everything I was gonna do in that period." "So you see, she knew I was gonna lead the Army of the Twelve Monkeys into history... before it even occurred to me." "She knows everything I'm ever gonna do before I know it myself." "How's that?" "Kweskin, you finish here." "I'll meet you there." "And if you forget one thing, I will have you shaved, sterilized and destroyed." " Jeff?" " What?" "You're a great man." "Ahh, fuck the bozos!" "He's seriously crazy." "You know that." "On the lookout for" "The name is Cole." "There." "Over there." "Okay." "Come on." " I need a room." " Thirty-five bucks an hour." " An hour?" " You want quarter hours?" "Go someplace else." "Uh, here's... twenty-five, six, seven for an hour." " Deal?" " Hey!" "Turn it off!" "One hour, honey babe." "Number sixty-four." "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?" "A little weird?" "Does fantasy acts?" "Okay, you were standing there looking up at the moon." "You were splashing through the water, and then what?" "I thought I was in prison again." "Just like that, you were in prison?" "No, not really." "Like you said." "It was all in my mind." "You disappeared." "One minute you were there, the next minute 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 just a hoax?" "It was?" "I d-didn't know." "You said he was hiding in the barn!" "I think I maybe saw a TV show about that when I was a kid, where a boy" "It wasn't a TV show!" "It was real!" "M" " Maybe this boy saw the same TV show that I did, and he c-copied it." "Look, you were right." "I, I am mentally ill." "I imagined all these things, these people." "I know they're not real." "I can trick them." "I, I" "I can make them do what I want." "I worked on 'em a little bit." " I got back here to get better." " Ah!" " I can stay here." " What does this mean to you?" " I think I had a dream like... about this." "You had a bullet from World War I in your leg, James." "How did it get there?" "I don't know." "Look, you sa-- You said I had delusions." " That I created this world." "You said you could explain." " I can't!" "I'm trying to, and" "I, I can't believe that everything we say or do has already happened." "We can't change what's gonna happen." "And if five billion people are gonna die, it's" "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..." "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 the right number now." "Do you remember it?" " The number?" "Do you" "This is my territory, bitch!" " Is this real, or is this one of my delusions?" " This is definitely real." "Uh, excuse me." " I, I think we've got a little misunderstanding here." " Oh?" " Yeah." "We" " Gee, really?" "Now, you just sit tight!" "You listen to me, little Miss Understanding." "You think you can go around me and peddle your ass in this part of town?" "You bet your life we got what I would call a major fuckin' misunderstanding." "Hey!" "James, no!" "Don't!" " Uh, put him in the closet." "Take his money first!" " You want me to rob him?" " We need cash, James!" " No, no!" "Call the cops!" "Call the cops!" "What's goin' on?" "I've got friends, man." " Don't fuckin' kill me." " James!" "James!" "No, James!" "No!" "No, James!" "No!" "Open the door!" "What the fuck are you doin'?" "Please don't hurt him." "Open the door." "James, come on." "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." " ... calling in a domestic incident." " Get out!" "Get back." "You'd better load." "Police!" "Throw your weapons out and come on out!" "Hey!" "Is that the cops?" "Hey, I'm the innocent victim here." "I was attacked by a coked-up whore and a, a fuckin' crazy dentist." "Try to blend in." "Oh, Jesus!" "Come on." "There's gotta be a phone around here somewhere." "There." "O" " Over there." "Look." " I'm gonna try that number, okay?" " Okay." " Let's hope it's nothing." " Okay." "James!" "James!" "It's okay!" "We're insane." "We're crazy." "It's a carpet cleaning company." " A carpet cleaning company?" " Yeah." "No superiors." "No scientists." "No men from the future." "It's just a carpet cleaning company." "They have voice mail." "You leave a message telling where you want your carpet cleaned." " You left them a message?" " Yeah." "I couldn't resist." "Wait 'til they hear this nutty woman telling them to watch for the Army of the Twelve Monkeys." "I said, "The Freedom for Animals Association on Second Avenue is the secret headquarters of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys"." "They're the ones who are gonna do it." "I can't do anything more now." "I have to go." "Have a merry Christmas"." "You couldn't have heard me." "I" "They got your message, Kathryn." "They played it for me." "It was a bad recording, distorted." "I didn't recognize your voice." " For the perfect Christmas gift" " Mmm, and this." "Is everything okay?" "You want anything?" "Shall I put this on your account, ma'am?" "No." "That'll be cash." "Can you tell me what floor the wigs are on?" "You turned the thing into a fucking computer." " And Fale believed it." " You know Fale." "If you guys get nailed, which I'm pretty sure you will," "I've never seen you before in my fuckin' life." " Aha!" " Yeah!" "C'mon, c'mon." "Bring 'im through." "C'mon." "Okay, drive!" "What's the harm in openin' the bag?" "His eyes are taped, right?" "Right?" "Okay." "Okay." "Hello." "Hello." " Wanna hear the monkey speak?" " Yeah!" "Ahh!" "Jeffrey?" "Jeffrey, I know that's you." " I recognize your voice." " No, you don't." "I also know all about your warped little plan." "That lady, your psychiatrist?" "She told me." "I didn't believe her." "It just seemed too crazy, even for you." "But just in case, I took steps to make sure you couldn't go through with it." "I don't have the code anymore, Jeffrey." "I don't have access to the virus." "I took myself..." " out of the loop." " Too late!" "Too late!" "We've got plans for you, Dad." "I never let myself believe it." "Now I know it's true." "Jeffrey?" "You're completely insane." "No, I'm not." "There's a cross section of one of the old trees that's been cut down." "Here I was born." "And there I died." "It was only a moment for you." "Y" " You took no notice." "I think I've seen this movie before." " When I was a kid, I saw it on TV." " Don't talk." " I did see it before." " Tall trees." "Have you been here before?" " Yes." " When?" " I don't... recognize this." " When were you born?" " Long ago." " Where?" "What's the matter?" " Tell me." "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 because it's already happened, you may as well smell the flowers." "What flowers?" "That's an expression." "Promise me you won't ask me again." "Please?" "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's still... football games, traffic jams, TV shows and armed robberies, we're going to be so glad that we'll be thrilled to see the police." "I'm responsible for you now." "The Chinese say once you've saved a person's life," " you're responsible for it forever, so I'm committed." " 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." "Come on." " What?" "Jeffrey?" "You know I can't see." "Where are we?" "Jeffrey?" "Please." "Kathryn?" "We have 9:30 reservations for Key West." "I, uh..." "just didn't recognize 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've known you before." "I feel I've always known you." "I'm so scared." "What time's your flight?" " 9:30." " Might be tight." "Tight?" "No." "My watch says 7:30." "On your normal morning', okay." "Plenty of time." "But today you gotta take into account your Army of the Twelve Monkeys factor." "What?" "What'd you say?" "Twelve Monkeys." "In case you folks didn't turn on your radio this mornin'." "Bunch of weirdos let all of the animals out of the zoo." "They locked up this big-shot scientist in one of the cages." "Scientist's own kid one of the ones did it." "They've got animals all over the place." "Bunch of zebras closed down the thruway 'bout an hour ago." "And they got some thing called an emu." "It's got traffic blocked for miles on 676." "...what they think they're accomplishing by releasing an animal like this..." " into a city like this one." " Oh." " That's what they were up to, freeing animals." " On the walls." " It said, "We did it"." "They meant the animals." " The animals, yeah." "If I could interrupt for a moment, Mr. Ginger" " There is going to be a press conference from City Hall." "I think it's gonna be all right." "Tell your people if they spot either one of them, not to try and apprehend them." "They should notify us." "We have people all over the airport." "We'll take care of 'em." "Skycap to gate 47, please." "...for Chicago is now ready for boarding at gate 17." "Flight 623 to Minneapolis is now boarding at gate" " I know this place." " Airports all look the same."

"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're going to send us someplace, but it won't be Key West." " Okay." " Okay." "Okay." " I'll go fix this." " Okay." "I'm gonna get the tickets." "I'll meet you in the newspaper stand." " Okay." " Okay." "This is a general information announcement." " Judy Simmons." "I have reservations for Key West." " Okay." "Flight 623 to Minneapolis... is now boarding at gate 44." " I don't see a lot of this." "It's cash." " It's a long story." "We'll begin boarding in about 20 minutes." " You have a nice flight, Miss Simmons." " Thank you." "Hello." "How are you today?" "I don't know whether you're there or not." "Maybe you just clean carpets." "If you do, you're lucky." "You're gonna live a long, happy life." "But if you other guys are out there, if you're picking this up, forget about the Army of the Twelve Monkeys." "They didn't do it." "It was a mistake." "Someone else did it." "The Army of the Twelve Monkeys is just a bunch of dumb kids playin' 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 you're taking, sir." "Is this all in one week?"

"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." " Yeah, five minutes ago." "Thirty years ago." "They just put it together." ""Uh, hey, this is Cole, James." "I don't know whether you're there or not." "Maybe you just clean carpets"." "Where'd you get that from?" ""Forget about the Army of the Twelve Monkeys"." "Man, if only they could've got your message earlier." "Take it." "You could still be a hero if you cooperate!" "Come on, James." "It's okay." " Here's your change." "Thank you." " Thank you."
