Quotes 

• 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.

• [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.

• 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.
