Cole arrives in 2014, but must avoid running into Cassie at all costs. Otherwise, he might affect her timeline. Is he looking for "the one that got away"?
Cassie: How long do you think it will be before the 12 Monkeys break Jennifer Goines? Cole: Don't know, but she won't make it easy. Cassie: There's nothing in the future that can help us find her? Cole: No we gotta find this guy. Cassie: The one who got away.
