12 Monkeys Page #7

---

Police say that the body of a woman found

strangled in the Knutson State Park...

could be kidnapping victim...

Dr. Kathryn Railly.

Anybody see someone

come through here?

...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 b*tch!

What were you thinking of,

- you twisted sack of sh*t?

- 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'm gonna attract their attention...

- Debris.

- so they know where we are.

Oh, I love this world!

They're gonna tell you to put your hands

on your head. Do what they say.

I love the frogs, the spiders.

Remember, I'll be with you.

I'll help you. I won't let them-

Then I said something about cooperating,

and he said he would do that.

So, I, um...

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.

- Did you take your sedative? - I hate

those things. They mess my head up.

...where he went

on a rampage of violence.

With the kidnapping

of the Baltimore woman, James Cole...

is now also wanted in connection with

the brutal slaying of Rodney Wiggins,

- an ex-convict from Ardmore.

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 f***ed 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?
