I apologize, Dr. Eckland.

Not before he tells us everything he knows.

Those Messengers out there in the hoods... what do they want?

The machine.

We don't know where they went or when.

1944... that's where I think the Messengers went.

In the last eight months, ever since the Messengers used our machine, we've had tremendous spikes across the temporal spectrum.

Yeah, I'm aware.

But last night's data showed these anomalies multiplying in the time-stream... an increase of 80%.

These levels are unprecedented.

It's almost as if the structure of space-time is collapsing somehow...

It's what?

Collapsing onto itself.

Dr. Eckland!

Dr. Eckland!

If you please...

♪ ♪

[music stops]

Forgive me for asking, but I understand Dr. Eckland has moved out of your quarters.

As far as the time-stream goes, I don't know what is causing those anomalies.

Everything seems to be increasingly unpredictable.

My suggestion is we all just get used to the new normal.

Oh! Come on, get up!

Yeah!

Yes!

Oh! Get up!

What are you...

Cole!

Yeah!

Get up. Yes!

Yeah!

Kick him.

Hey!

What the hell is this?

Jones promised me this bullshit was over!

You raise your voice to her again, and I will chew your g*dd*mn face off.

It's all right. It's all right.

Yeah, it's all right.

Go nurse your wounds, Teddy.

Stop it, both of you.

We're trying to figure out where the Messengers went in the machine.

And your boyfriend is holding out on us.

They didn't fill me in on a whole lot, including the part where they tried to k*ll me.

He's the assh*le that brought them here in the first place.

Mea culpa.

We stopped their plan to release the virus.

Whatever's going on now, he's got nothing to do with.

And what about 1944?

What about it?

Nice tux.

This is a relationship I will never understand.

You should hear what you just said.

Oh, you sore about us?

Hey, guys.

I trained her to survive, just like I trained you.

I'll tell you something... she's got a lot of talent.

Except for that blind spot when it comes to pieces of sh*t like you.

What is that supposed to mean?

Hey!

I know what this is.

Professor Thomas H. Crawford, molecular biologist... during the Second World w*r, he was one of a small number of American scientists who belonged to something called the w*r Bureau of Consultants.

The group was charged with investigating the feasibility of a U.S. bio-weapons program.

Looks like Crawford was m*rder*d in his office at Columbia University on the evening of September 1, 1944.

His K*llers... a man and a woman... were never found.

What does this have to do with the 12 Monkeys or the plague?

I remember there was a time that they were looking for the grave of Thomas Crawford.

I thought about digging him up.

Exhume his remains? For what purpose?

I don't know.

Test for DNA.

Maybe use it to track Crawford to a specific time and place.

Yeah. September 1, 1944.

We have to go back. We were there.

You were also there in 1987.

But that little trip didn't work out like anyone hoped.

Look, they went back and k*lled Crawford.

We have to stop them and find out what they were up to.

Could be his research.

It might be their plan B for the virus.

They might know something.

Crawford lived decades before anyone understood the basics of RNA propagation.

His work would have been useless to the Monkeys.

Maybe he was ahead of his time, and they k*lled him before he got a chance to prove it.

[exhales deeply] We should go.

To 1944?

You want to just travel back through time 100 years to a world at w*r where people were paranoid and archaic?

Cole can barely navigate 2016.

I'm standing right here.

That's why I'd like you to accompany him.

You've seen the Messengers, seen their faces.

You can identify them before they strike.

The fight against the plague starts in 2016.

The first battle may very well have been in 1944.

I'm not a time traveler.

Dr. Railly, I understand this is quite a change in dynamic... but he needs you to guide him through that world.

Katarina...

If Mr. Cole fails... we all fail.

♪ ♪

Our reports show that Professor Crawford was m*rder*d in his office while a m*llitary ceremony was taking place on campus.

The Secretary of w*r was handing out medals to w*r heroes.

Well, if the Messengers found a way in, so can we.

We've done it before.

This will require a plan.

On the ground.

No, not on the ground, Johnny Night Room.

We need a plan now.

Are we sneaking in, going undercover?

Bribe... we need money.

Money won't be a problem.

Here they're worthless.

In 1944, their street value will be substantial.

Trade it. Pawn it.

Wear it, if you like.

You've never splintered one person, let alone two, this far back.

No, and with the increase of temporal anomalies, the science has become even more inexact.

The two of you could arrive hours apart, maybe days.
