Terminator 4: Bleak Future --Part4--
By Carnotaur3
INT. DREAM – BAHA - HOUSE – DAY
Wiping away the tears from his eyes, YOUNG JOHN CONNOR looks up to his mother, SARAH, whose body lay limped over the sofa. A paper and photo are turned over on the wooden floor. YOUNG JOHN quietly and slowly reaches down to pick them up. He hold’s the picture in his hands of Sarah, wearing a bandana, and sitting next to a dog. The piece of paper was written with minimal words.
“Our fate is what we make it.”
CUT TO:
EXT. DREAM – BAHA – HOUSE - SUNSET
The sun sets in the distance, behind the palm trees.
CUT TO:
INT. DREAM – BAHA – HOUSE – SUNSET
YOUNG JOHN turns to run, the darkness is coming, faster than he had expected. He reaches for his bag and runs out the front door.
CUT TO:
INT. TRIANGULAR ROOM – DIM
Now, JOHN CONNOR is older, and he looks around his surroundings. The environment looks so alien to him. He looks into the corridor seeing the smoke rise and begins to clear out. The T-850’s dark figure is seen. Finally, we get a clear view of him.
TERMINATOR
Make your fate.
CUT TO:
INT. VEHICLE – SUNSET
JOHN CONNOR wakes up in a sweat, looking in front of him into the windshield of the car.
He watches ENRIQUE come to greet him at the door, which the window had been pulled down.
SALCEDA
You ok, Connor? Look like you’ve been through shit.
CONNOR
Probably.
ENRIQUE shakes his head. An ARMY of people come out and get into their vehicles. Each one of them are wearing dark gray uniforms with their names printed to the side. JOHN watches them.
SALCEDA
Don’t worry, big John. I got you one too.
ENRIQUE throws the uniform at him. CONNOR smiles.
SALCEDA
Want to give me a hand with the weaponry?
CONNOR
Don’t need to ask.
CONNOR opens the door and gets out of the vehicle.
CUT TO:
EXT. SALCEDA’S CAMP – SUNSET
JAKE and TERRY, two of ENRIQUE’S men, start to walk to the AUTO CARRIER, located 20 feet from ENRIQUE’S CAR.
TERRY goes for his dog and takes the leash off. He begins to pick up the mutt when it suddenly leaps forward, past his hands, and towards a nearby house.
JAKE
Get a hold of that dog, Terry.
TERRY
Fucking mutt.
CUT TO:
INT. SALCEDA’S NEIGHBORHOOD – HOUSE – SUNSET
We pan forward to a stuffed teddy bear, laying in the middle of a room. Two feet come into view. We pan up the body to the face of the T-X, examining the room.
The T-X scans the room with her INFRARED mode.
ENRIQUE’S DOG approaches her, barking up a storm and drooling onto the carpet.
With no mercy, the T-X grabs a hold of the DOG’S neck and squeezes until the head pops off. The barking ceases and so has the DOG.
Suddenly, she turns to the room next to her to see TERRY.
TERRY
Who the hell are you?
He looks down at the headless and bloodied animal.
CUT TO:
EXT. ENRIQUE’S CAMP – SUNSET
ENRIQUE and JOHN come out from the tent, loading the last case of weapons into the trunk of their car.
ENRIQUE keeps, to himself, an AK-47.
They both jump into the vehicle. ENRIQUE turns the ignition.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD – SUNSET
Down the road behind ENRIQUE’S car, which is now driving off, is the AUTO CARRIER. JAKE opens the driver side door and calls out.
JAKE
Terry! Where the hell? Terry, get your ass into the truck!
JAKE jumps into the huge vehicle.
TO TERRY:
TERRY looks up from the ground.
TERRY
(In non human voice)
I’m coming.
TERRY moves off. The camera pans down to the ground to reveal: THE REAL TERRY, his body lay lifeless.
CUT TO:
INT. AUTO CARRIER – DIM
JAKE puts the keys in the ignition. TERRY jumps into the passenger seat.
He turns to TERRY.
JAKE
You...
JAKE examines TERRY’S expressionless face.
JAKE (cont’d)
You’re not terry...
TERRY hits JAKE straight in the face with the back of his hand. JAKE’S face impacts in. Blood drips down the deformed face. A few seconds later he falls onto the steering wheel, the loud horn going off.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD – SUNSET
The body of JAKE flies out from the driver’s side of the AUTO CARRIER with the door as well. Both hit the ground.
CUT TO:
INT. AUTO CARRIER – DIM
The T-X is half way morphing into her own self as she turns the key in the ignition and starts the AUTO CARRIER.
She, then, presses the pedal to the metal, sending the AUTO CARRIER down the long and narrow road.
CUT TO:
INT. SALCEDA’S CAR – DIM
ENRIQUE moves his face from the road to CONNOR.
SALCEDA
We fight hard and we fight fast. First squad puts a surprise attack, that’s the only way we can start the war.
We start to notice the AUTO CARRIER coming close to them from the back window of SALCEDA’S car.
CONNOR
Where will you be?
SALCEDA
I’ll be with them; you give the word, Connor, and go find that girl of yours.
The AUTOR CARRIER is really close now.
CONNOR
The weapons are secured back there, right?
SALCEDA
Definitely. Those guns, and I’m not talking about the AK-47s or any type of gun like that, I’m talking about those ray guns… Or what the fuck you want to call them. They’re something new. They’re made with a very hard metal.
CUT TO:
EXT. NARROW NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD - SUNSET
BAM! The AUTO CARRIER hits the rear bumper hard and the CAR almost looses control. It skims a part of a building.
CUT TO:
INT. SALCEDA’S CAR – DIM
JOHN’S head snaps backward, staring at the windshield of the AUTO CARRIER. He sees the T-X with a blank stare at her target.
CONNOR
Son of a bitch!
SALCEDA
What’s going on?
CONNOR
She found me. I can’t believe she found me.
SALCEDA
Who found you?
CONNOR
The T-X!
JOHN grabs the AK-47 from ENRIQUE’S lap.
SALCEDA
What the fuck, Connor?
He points and fires.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD - SUNSET
The bullets make a trail from the side of the windshield to the driver’s seat where the T-X is steering. She’s hit a thousand times over it seems, and creates numerous metallic holes throughout her body. The AUTO CARRIER looses speed.
CUT TO:
INT. SALCEDA’S CAR – DIM
ENRIQUE is in a panic at the wheel.
SALCEDA
T-fucking-X; what the hell is that?
CONNOR
A machine from the future. She’s got a mimetic polyalloy structure around her endoskeleton. She’s very powerful; very dangerous.
SALCEDA
A she?
CONNOR
Don’t ask.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD - SUNSET
CONNOR fires some more into her plasma cannon, causing it to go haywire. Sparks fly outward from her hand.
The T-X stares down.
T-X P.O.V.
SCREEN sizzles, goes clear again, and then pops up a statement:
PLASMA AND FIRE WEAPONRY HAS BEEN PERMINATELY DISABLED
CUT TO:
INT. AUTO CARRIER - DIM
The T-X looks mad although there’s not much expression. We can see it only in her eyes.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD – SUNSET
From SALCEDA’S truck comes some more firing of the AK-47. It hits a chain hooked onto the wheels of one of the vehicles on top of the truck. The vehicle slowly descends off of the ramp and then plummets off, almost hitting SALCEDA’S car.
CUT TO:
INT. SALCEDA’S CAR – DIM
ENRIQUE looks back towards JOHN.
SALCEDA
Careful, John.
CONNOR nods and aims the gun again.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD – SUNSET
The AUTO CARRIER nudges the car, sending it into a wooden house.
CUT TO:
INT. HOUSE – DIM
Debris hits the car like hailstones as it goes from room to room into the house. The AUTO CARRIER follows behind. The windshield of the car spider-webs when a piece of wood crashes onto it.
CUT TO:
EXT. NEIGHBORHOOD – SUNSET
As the car leaves from the house, the huge AUTO CARRIER does the same; but it knocks the whole house from it’s foundation to the ground.
Vehicles from the AUTO CARRIER fly off some more, one into a tree, another into a house, and the other right next to SALCEDA’S CAR.
CUT TO:
INT. SALCEDA’S CAR – DIM
ENRIQUE pulls out a grenade from his front pocket of his shirt.
SALCEDA
Here, take this. Take the pin out and –
JOHN grabs the grenade from his free hand.
CONNOR
I know.
SALCEDA smiles.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD – SUNSET
We watch as the pin drops to the seats of the car, and the grenade from CONNOR’S hand flies out and hits the left side of the truck. A small mushroomed explosion knocks the TRUCK and it tilts to the right almost turning over, but it doesn’t.
SALCEDA’S car skids on a sharp left turn. The AUTO CARRIER behind the car suddenly skids as well but it can’t quite make the turn, hitting the front of houses, knocking them down. But it gets back on the road seconds later.
CUT TO:
INT. SALCEDA’S CAR - DIM
ENRIQUE shakes his head.
SALCEDA
I have an idea. Hang on to something.
JOHN is caught off guard as the car suddenly makes a sharp left hand turn to the next street.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD – SUNSET
The AUTO CARRIER does the best it can with the T-X steering it. It makes its turn, this time jack-knifing; the back CARRIER tears off the TRUCK and is sent careening across a yard and into a pool.
CUT TO:
INT. SALCEDA’S CAR – DIM
JOHN’S bewildered.
CONNOR
Where are we going?
SALCEDA
There’s an electronic power company sub station around here.
CONNOR
That’s right, the reason for your power on the T.V.
SALCEDA
Yep, it was never touched.
CONNOR
This will help?
SALCEDA
I’m making this up as I go along.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD – SUNSET
The T-X’s TRUCK speeds up and hits the rear bumper of the car again; but it’s harder this time.
CUT TO:
INT. SALCEDA’S CAR – SUNSET
JOHN winces, feeling the horrific vibrations of the vehicle.
CONNOR
We need to get off this road.
ENRIQUE turns the wheel to the right.
CUT TO:
EXT. SIDEWALK – SUNSET
SALCEDA’S CAR swerves left and right onto the sidewalk between the houses. Behind the car is the TRUCK which stops dead in its tracks.
The CAR swerves back onto another road, facing the POWER STATION ahead.
CUT TO:
INT. SALCEDA’S CAR – DIM
ENRIQUE and JOHN smile as the gain closer to the station.
SALCEDA
There it is. Where’s the truck?
CONNOR looks behind him and trough the broken back window. Nothing.
CONNOR
I don’t think we lost her. She’s not that easy.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD – SUNSET
Suddenly, from the left side, the TRUCK comes pounding out of one of the houses. The car swerves to the right and makes it past the TRUCK before it could hit the car.
The TRUCK hits another house and begins to back up.
ENRIQUE’S CAR comes even closer to the station, which is surrounded by chain-linked fences.
CUT TO:
INT. SALCEDA’S CAR – DIM
CONNOR throws the AK-47 out of the window.
CONNOR
It’s out.
ENRIQUE gently slides back to CONNOR a hand gun.
SALCEDA
Brace yourself, Connor!
JOHN grabs onto the clothing handle of the car.
CUT TO:
EXT. ROAD – SUNSET
The car hit’s the gate and skids to a stop next to a steel bar.
CUT TO:
EXT. ELECTRONIC POWER SUB STATION – SUNSET
JOHN CONNOR and ENRIQUE SALCEDA open their doors. Both of them, breathing hard, fall to the asphalt ground.
ENRIQUE holds his necklace in his hands and kisses it.
JOHN looks, seeing at the end of the road the T-X’s truck starting up. Both of them jump up as the truck drives towards them.
ENRIQUE runs to his car’s trunk and tries to open it with his keys, which fumble around his fingers.
CONNOR
No time, Enrique! Get down!
JOHN pulls ENRIQUE onto the ground, behind his car. The truck zooms into the station and hits steel, causing a fire in the engine; wires from above disconnect with sparks flying everywhere. The T-X jumps down from the doorway and blankly scans the car. She picks up bodies behind it. ENRIQUE and JOHN watch as she comes closer. They are just about to high tail it out of there when the engine explodes and the fire engulfs the whole truck. The T-X falls to the pavement.
JOHN takes out his hand gun.
Predictably, the T-X gets up, the liquid metal forming back to its original state.
Hectically, JOHN starts to shoot at her, small holes popping up around her body.
SALCEDA
Let’s go, loco; let’s go!
He pulls JOHN away and they both head for a metal ladder heading up to a platform.
The T-X slowly strides towards them.
CUT TO:
EXT. LADDER – SUNSET
One hand in front of the other; JOHN’S focus on the bars is much more relieving than the focus on the T-X behind him, whose just about to comes up to the bottom of the ladder.
ENRIQUE looks down.
SALCEDA
Hurry up, John.
ENRIQUE reaches the platform.
CONNOR
Pull me!
Reaching for JOHN’S hand, ENRIQUE pulls him up onto the platform. ENRIQUE looks around and sees another platform on the other side.
From below, JOHN watches the T-X climb up the ladder.
T-X
It will be easier if you cooperated.
CONNOR
Fuck you, bitch!
JOHN turns to his side, seeing ENRIQUE scaling on a bar leading to the other side.
SALCEDA
You want to leave? I suggest you get to it.
He reaches the platform.
With no hesitation, JOHN grabs onto the bar and begins to scale it. Now, the T-X has reached the platform and JOHN is about five feet away from her, and is still going.
The T-X’s HAND SAW flips out like a switch blade and she begins to cut the bar.
JOHN turns around and sees the horrific sight of sparks.
ENRIQUE takes out the GRENADE from his buckle and takes out the pin.
SALCEDA
Get down, Connor!
He throws it, but it misses her and falls to the ground below, making a rumble and a small fire.
JOHN reaches out with his hand.
CONNOR
Give me the grenade.
The T-X has now cut all the way through. With the palm of her hand, she persists in hitting the bar and denting it downward.
ENRIQUE rolls the grenade on the bar and JOHN grasps it in his hands.
CONNOR (cont’d)
Time to fry.
He pulls the pin out and throws it straight onto the T-X. Parts of metal hit the left side of JOHN’S face. He cries out in pain.
Behind him, the T-X falls on top of a POWER CONNECTOR, with cables going in and out of it, sparks fly and the T-X literally fries.
JOHN watches in satisfaction as the T-X’s liquid metal skin starts to melt away from her metal endoskeleton, and dribs down to the pavement below.
The blue glow from the eyes fade away.
ENRIQUE reaches out his hand to JOHN.
ENRIQUE
Ready for a war?
JOHN grabs his hand
CONNOR
Yes!
