- Olivia: It was foolish of you to come. Why are you here?
- Jennifer Goines: To say adios, amigo. You may have destroyed the Primary weapon, but what it was meant to do, the code, was in here the whole time. But before we fire up the machine and wipe you from time and existence, there's something I thought you should know. You know your brand logo thing, "Copyright, The Witness, TM"? Well, I get it. It's Aramaic for the number 12 mirrored to represent the beginning, the end, blah-blah-blah, yada yada yada, such and such. But with a few little tweaks... Looks like a little penis man. Is that because you're such a dick?
- James Cole: Okay. So how do we do it? We take their code, we put it in our machine...
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: No. No. No, this can't be it. There has to be another way. Jones? This is not how it was suppose to end.
- Katarina Jones: How was it suppose to end? The mission hasn't changed... Only our feelings.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: But if you can erase him, you can erase Olivia. There has to be another way.
- Katarina Jones: Maybe... but this what we have. We have run simulation after simul...
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: But I just murdered 7 billion people. I will not murder 7 billion and 1, not when the one is worth all the rest.
- Katarina Jones: Time will be reset. They will live again.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: But he won't. He can't. He can't exist at all.
- James Cole: It's okay. Cassie...
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: No, it's not okay. No, it's not okay. You've given everything to time. You are owed. I am owed. Time owes all of us.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: We can stop Olivia, kill the Witness, end the storms, but you don't have to get in that machine. We can just live. If time can be rewritten, the world can be remade.
- James Cole: The virus mutates again. You know that. There's no one left in 2163.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: But maybe we can change all that.
- James Cole: This is what it was meant to be. We can do this, together. There's still time.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: How?
- James Cole: I have a plan. We can - What's that look for?
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: I just never heard you say you have a plan.
- James Cole: I've had plans before.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: No, it's just...
- James Cole: I have plans.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: It takes the end of the world for you to have a plan.
- James Cole: You want to hear it or not?
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: Yes, I wouldn't miss it...
- James Cole: Hmm? Plan's this way. Come on.
- [opening scene]
- Katarina Jones: [narration] Three years ago, I sent a travler back in time... To stop a plague that had killed 7 billion people... Change history, and save the future. However, the puzzle was fare more complex than we could have ever imagined. We discovered the Army of the 12 Monkeys, a conspiracy spanning centuries, a cult operating by fierce religious devotion to the word of its prophet, a woman from the future who called herself the Witness. The world's end, an infinite hell on earth, are by her design. And our mission to stop her has come at a tremendous cost. And the last remaining survivors of Project Splinter have lost everything. Our will... our hope... Our friends. The Witness has already begun her destruction of time, her Red Forest. And the puzzle, the one we set out to solver together, has finally given us an answer. But not the one we hoped. For, you see, the only way to save the world... To save the past... the present, the future is to erase James Cole... Delete him from every moment. The loops and tangles of time... This war... It's all a disease created by the cure. The end of the beginning, the serpent eating its tail. And now that beginning is finally here.
- Adviser to the Witness: The central spire is capable of splintering by itself. We can run. All we have to do is stop the sequence and release...
- Olivia: Do not stop the sequence! It must finish, or else the process will reverse entirely. They don't have the numbers. Take as many faithfuls you can get. Destroy their machine. It's the only weapon they have.
- Katarina Jones: The Primary code has given us the method to reset the timeline.
- James Cole: Yeah... we're running out of time, so let's get me in that thing, erase me, whatever you gotta do.
- Dr. Julian Adler: We can't. It would take 3 1/2 years for our systems to compile and assemble the entire code.
- Katarina Jones: Time will collapse in a matter of hours, 12, maybe 13 at best.
- James Cole: So we go back, give ourselves the code in the past.
- Dr. Julian Adler: Rendering our machine useless for all those years. We halt the mission before it even began.
- Katarina Jones: We'd never reach this point with the answer.
- James Cole: What about Titan? It's a time-traveling city. It must have a thousand times the processing power we need.
- Dr. Julian Adler: Possibly, provided that one could stop Olivia's final sequence and somehow - impossibly, mind you - gain access to her systems.
- Katarina Jones: Even if we could, we have no idea where or when Titan even is. I'm sorry. If I hadn't endeavored to change history, to rewrite time, to manipulate for personal...
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: James...
- James Cole: I'll listen to rest of the speech in 12 hours. Till then, we got work to do.
- James Cole: The Witness.
- José Ramse: Olivia?
- James Cole: She killed your son... mine... and in a few hours, everyone and everything.
- José Ramse: You said that I told you not to undo this.
- James Cole: Yeah, and I won't. Once this over, you have go back, die that night, or else we'll never end up here. And I have to climb in that machine and be erased from everything.
- José Ramse: Jesus.
- James Cole: And if we're going out... we're taking that bitch with us. I need you for that.
- James Cole: [uncovers a car] There it is.
- José Ramse: She's a beaut, isn't she?
- James Cole: You think it'll still run?
- José Ramse: Ain't about the age, brother. It's about the gas that's left in the tank. Everything else we can fix, you know?
- José Ramse: That's got their attention.
- James Cole: [sets the detonator] Let's make sure. You're set to pop.
- José Ramse: How does it work?
- James Cole: Gimme your hand, Louise.
- José Ramse: Oh, God.
- [Cole and Ramse splinter away and the car explodes]
