    Terminator 4: Bleak Future --Part7--
    By Carnotaur3

    INT. ABOVE GROUND TUNNEL – BLIZZARD - NIGHT

    As the snow pounds hard against every object outside, JOHN CONNOR watches ENRIQUE’S ELITE TEAM push forward and into their trucks. One vehicle has a SATILLITE DISH hooked onto the back, pointing towards the sky.

    ENRIQUE stands next to JOHN.

    SALCEDA
    Hehe, Big John, don’t worry about it. We’ll be back soon.

    CONNOR
    I sure hope so, Enrique. You find the exact coordinates and report back here as soon as possible.

    SALCEDA
    You don’t have to worry about that. Everything’s being taken care of. It’s the simply push of buttons.

    AT THE DISH TRUCK:

    STETSON swings his weaponry around his shoulder by a harness. He turns to his mate, GREGORY.

    STETSON
    Gregory, come on, man. Don’t fucking diddly daddle. Get in the truck.

    GREGORY turns to him.

    GREGORY
    Ok.

    GREGORY pushes his body up over a metal bar and into the truck bed.

    BACK TO JOHN AND ENRIQUE

    CONNOR
    Watch out for the shape shifters.

    SALCEDA
    We’ll be fine, Connor. Got a cage of dogs in one of the pick-ups.

    CONNOR manages a smile, but he isn’t relieved. ENRIQUE notices.

    SALCEDA (cont’d)
    (Singing out with bad notes)
    America… A-merica! God shed His grace on thee…

    ENRIQUE walks to the DISH TRUCK. Other soldiers chime in with the rest of the song as they unload the last batch of weapons into their vehicles.

    SOLDIERS
    And crown thy good with bro-therhood, from sea to shi-ning sea!

    CONNOR begins to laugh. And now, they are off into the blizzard. Out of the tunnel and into the smoldering whiteness of cold.

    Two new lights are seen up ahead. Vehicle?

    Yes, it’s the craned truck with THE TERMINATOR hooked on the back. JOHN shields his eyes from the swatting snow crystals as he makes way into the weather trying to get a closer look.

    The truck stops a few feet from him. A soldier peeks his head out.

    SOLDIER
    Man, it’s fucking summer and it’s fucking cold out here.

    CONNOR
    (Yell)
    Who goes there?

    KENNEDY
    Recon Fred Kennedy, 23rd under Connor.

    CONNOR
    I am Connor.

    KENNEDY stands corrected.

    KENNEDY
    I thought we’d break it easier to you inside.

    CONNOR
    Break what?

    KENNEDY
    Or at least until we figure out what to do with it.

    CONNOR
    To do with what?

    KENNEDY
    I don’t know how you are going to take this.

    CONNOR
    Fucking tell me.

    CUT TO:



    INT. LAB – DIM

    A single light bulb above the - what seems to be lifeless - fleshed machine is the only source of brightness in the room.

    JOHN moves his face closer to its face, studying it.

    KENNEDY (O.S.)
    I looked out of my spider whole and there it was. There was a burnt crater in the ground.

    ODY (O.S.)
    Checked its chest and it seems it’s missing a fuel cell.

    JOHN looks at the chest.

    CONNOR
    Looks like it’s healing quite rapidly.

    ODY
    What are you thinking, sir? Should we find out what it wants?

    CONNOR
    What IT wants doesn’t concern you, just me. Fetch me an extra fuel cell and leave me alone with him.

    ODY nods.

    ODY
    Yes sir.

    He’s out the door before you can say ‘war’ leaving KENNEDY standing in his appropriate position.

    CONNOR
    Are you still here? Get out.

    KENNEDY
    Yes, sir.

    In a heart beat, KENNEDY runs out of the lab. JOHN gains closer to THE TERMINATOR. He pokes the skin on the machine’s face.

    CONNOR
    I waited all this time. Twenty-nine years just to see you again. I didn’t choose it. I don’t want it. The question is: What do you want? What kind of damn reason do you have to be here? Are you going to kill me? Are you going to fucking murder me? What do you want? What do you want from me?

    ODY comes through the door, almost tripping on his own feet.

    JOHN turns around, his heart racing like a horse.

    ODY
    Here it is, sir.

    Walking to him without a rush, JOHN takes the fuel cell from his hands.

    CONNOR
    Thank you, soldier. Now, let me be.

    ODY exits the threshold and shuts the door of the lab.

    CUT TO:


    INT. LAB – MOMENTS LATER - DIM

    The fuel cells hatch shuts itself automatically and locks up into THE TERMINATOR’S chest. JOHN waits impatiently for the thing to reboot when…

    CB
    Sizzle

    JOHN switches frequencies.

    SALCEDA (V.O.)
    Connor, you there? Over.

    CONNOR
    Here. Over.

    SALCEDA (V.O.)
    We’ve set up position, now all we need is the satellite’s code to be put in. Over.

    CONNOR
    You may proceed. Over.

    CUT TO:



    EXT. FIELD – SNOWING – NIGHT

    ENRIQUE is standing beside a laptop motioning for SARGENT CHAD CALAWAY. The laptop is located on the hood of the SATILLITE TRUCK. ENRIQUE still has his CB on.

    SALCEDA
    Sgt. Calaway, will you do the honors?

    CALAWAY
    My pleasure.

    He steps forward to the key pad.

    Ahead, a soldier unloads some weapons onto the field. He grabs a hold of an ANTITANK PLASMA MINE, and disengages the circuit and safety ball. Then, he twists the handle clockwise from ‘Safe’ to ‘Armed’. A timer comes up onto a small screen on the mind and is set for 10 seconds. But the soldier doesn’t press the activation button; he simply places the mind on top of a rock.

    Behind ENRIQUE and CALAWAY, STETSON grabs the door handle to a van and swings it open releasing three dogs, each held by a leash. Suddenly, they catch wind of something as GREGORY turns to face them.

    BARK… BARK… BARK!

    Their noises sound. ENRIQUE and STETSON look back in horror as GREGORY immediately grabs for a GENERAL DYNAMICS RBS-80 PHASED PLASMA PULSE GUN from the back of a pickup truck and turns back around with cold, menacing eyes.

    STETSON
    Terminator!

    One of the dogs is let loose from STETSON’S grip and leaps forward only to be pelted by plasma rays.

    The soldiers scatter throughout the snow, firing upon GREGORY. The rays blast through his body, leaving liquid holes. They don’t regenerate however, because of the amount of plasma energy coming from the GENRAL DYNAMICS RBS-80 guns are too destructive to the elements of POLYMIMETIC ALLOY. Other plasma weapons can only shock this machine for a few seconds and regenerate its liquid metal.

    SALCEDA
    Release the dogs!

    STETSON does as he’s asked. The dogs attack the T-1000 GREGORY as soldiers get behind their vehicles and start shooting upon him.

    GREGORY morphs into the T-1000 momentarily and shoots its plasma gun at the dogs. Rays hit it after the dogs are killed, and the liquid terminator returns the favor into the cars, blasting them up to bits. The vehicles later explode with great force which starts a chain reaction onto the other vehicles clattered together. Finally, the SATILLITE TRUCK turns into a big ball of fire, engulfing the dish hooked on the back.

    The T-1000 scans the area. A few life forms were still alive. It turns around quick seeing a woman soldier running in the field with a blaze all over her body.

    Then, it turns again watching ENRIQUE slowly lifting himself up from the snow. The T-1000 pushes forward to him in no rush.

    ENRIQUE is frightened and turns to run the other way but a rock is in direction, and he presses up against it. The T-1000 throws its metal finger into his shoulder, right in the nerve.

    In pain, ENRIQUE stands against the rock fainting over and over only for a few seconds.

    T-1000
    I know this hurts.

    The mimicking terminator moves his finger in his shoulder around clockwise.

    T-1000 (cont’d)
    What are the codes to the satellite?

    ENRIQUE’S body shakes He can’t stand it much longer.

    Suddenly, plasma rays are fired at the T-1000’s head and it misses.

    The T-1000 turns around to see CALAWAY on the ground trying to aim his rifle at the machine. The T-1000 extends its arm in a knife-like shape into the center of his skull.

    ENRIQUE sees before him on the rock the ANTITANK PLASMA MINE. He presses the ‘activation’ button and twists his body with full force around. The metal finger breaks through his right shoulder and passes his right arm. He shoves the mine through the T-1000’s midsection with his left hand, and the mind goes through like butter.

    SALCEDA
    For Connor!

    The T-1000 shrills as the mind explodes into its body with ENRIQUE in front of it.

    CUT TO:



    INT. LAB – DIM

    JOHN throws his walkie-talkie at a wall.

    CONNOR
    Fuck! Fuck!

    He sits down in a chair beside THE TERMINATOR and tries to catch his breath.

    In an instant, THE TERMINATOR turns his mechanical head to JOHN CONNOR and wraps his hand around his neck. JOHN is lifted up into the air, kicking. But he’s not as frightened as he should be.

    Gasping for air, JOHN watches THE TERMINATOR scan his body.

    TERMINATOR’S P.O.V.

    On the red screen, a white bar jumps up and down JOHN CONNOR’S body and then, words follow in the middle:

    SUBJECT: JOHN CONNOR

    BACK TO:

    THE TERMINATOR lets go of JOHN and he falls to the ground, panting.

    THE TERMINATOR
    I need cloths – and weapons.

    JOHN, tired and confused as to what he mainly needs, finally speaks.

    CONNOR
    Who would have thought that?

    THE TERMINATOR
    (demanding)

    Now!

    JOHN points over towards the safe behind his desk. THE TERMINATOR treads mechanically over, grabs hold of the handle, and yanks it from its constraints.

    He reaches in and grabs the shirt, leather pants, and leather jacket. He proceeds to put them on its naked body.

    CONNOR
    That’s it? No “hello, nice to see you”? No “I’m here to protect you”? You know those cloths you are putting on? I found them for you in the rubble all those years ago.

    THE TERMINATOR
    My mission shall remain classified until the right time comes.

    CONNOR
    (Like a smartass)

    Oh, ok, now programmed machines have a schedule. Who sent you?


    THE TERMINATOR is now fitted into the pants.

    THE TERMINATOR
    I did. Seven years from now, the war is over. I sent myself for my primary mission. I’m a rogue.

    CONNOR
    And what is your mission?

    Putting on the jacket, THE TERMINATOR pauses showing a sign of free thinking.

    THE TERMINATOR
    I can not reveal classified information.

    JOHN runs at THE TERMINATOR and pounds at his shoulder with the bottom side of his fist.

    CONNOR
    Fucking tell me your mission, now!

    THE TERMINATOR pushes him down to the concrete floor. JOHN holds his chest with his hand. He had pushed him hard.

    THE TERMINATOR
    I will not allow anything or anyone to disrupt my mission. Where are the weapons?

    CUT TO:



    EXT. OUTSIDE THE SEWER TUNNEL – SNOWING – NIGHT

    The snow is ceasing a bit, only a few white fat flakes are floating around. THE TERMINATOR strides out of the dark tunnel and into the snow shower. He is carrying a WESTINGHOUSE M-25 in his right hand, a WESTINGHOUSE M-27 hooked over his shoulder by a harness strap, and a GENERAL DYNAMICS RBS-80 hooked over on his opposite shoulder.

    JOHN CONNOR runs outside and yells.

    CONNOR
    (Yelling)

    Should I trust you?

    THE TERMINATOR turns back around.

    THE TERMINATOR
    You decide, John Connor.

    The T-850 leaves the site in and disappears in the snow. CONNOR is undecided.

    CUT TO:



    INT. CONFERENCE ROOM – CRYSTAL PEAK – BRIGHT

    Four lieutenants proceed into the CONFERENCE ROOM and sit in their relaxing chairs. They are LIEUTENANTS PERRY, CARLOS, LANCE, and FORSYHE.

    CARLOS
    Gentleman, General Connor will be coming on shortly.

    LANCE
    Let’s hope he has a final decision on what to do.

    FORSYHE slams his fist on the table.

    FORSYTHE
    If that mother fucker tells us to go into battle, I’m out of here.

    PERRY stands up from his seat.

    PERRY
    Calm yourself, Lieutenant. We follow his orders. No bitching.

    FORSYTHE
    It will be San Bernadino all over again, Perry. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it.

    PERRY
    The freedom fighters –

    FORSYTHE
    You expect to fight with them? Damn it, Perry, they’re too damn selfish to fight with us. They want nothing from us. They think they can win on their own, so be it.

    BROADCASTER comes into the room. The screen in the conference room is still blank.

    BROADASTER
    Ten minutes he says.

    The group nods.

    CUT TO:



    INT. BROADCASTING SECTION – DIM

    CONNOR rubs his hands roughly. JAMESON watches beside the camera.

    JAMESON
    Cold?

    CONNOR
    Yeah… where’s Kate?

    JAMESON
    She called on the CB ten minutes ago, she should be here shortly.

    CONNOR
    Good.


    JAMESON
    Are we broadcasting all of Crystal Peak?

    CONNOR
    Yes, and it’s about time we tell them about the Freedom Fighters too.


    JAMESON, heavy in thought, pauses. Then, he starts back on a different subject.

    JAMESON
    You think you can trust him?

    CONNOR
    Who?

    JAMESON
    You know the fuck who I’m talking about. The ‘it’! The machine!

    CONNOR
    I-

    JAMESON becomes enraged.

    JAMESON
    You are a leader, Connor. You’ve always told me. By God, you’ve always told me – to never trust a machine. Any machine. What the hell are you doing now?

    CONNOR tries to calm things down.

    CONNOR
    There’s something about him. He’s not here to hurt me, I see it in his eyes.

    JAMESON
    A machine, Connor, a fucking machine! Are you willing to give it all up and trust this thing? It’s a rogue. It said it itself. It can decide to kill you if it wanted. There’s no programmed CPU.

    CONNOR
    Maybe so, Jameson. But are you willing to risk the reason why it’s here?

    JAMESON flips a switch on the broadcasting camera.

    JAMESON
    (Changing the subject)

    We don’t want to be late.

    CONNOR rubs his mouth with his rough fingers.

    CUT TO:



    INT. HALLWAYS – CRYSTAL PEAK – BRIGHT

    STONE, HENDRICKS, and KERRINGTON three well built, loose Soldiers, are hanging out together in one of the halls when FORD runs through it.

    FORD
    (Yelling)

    We’re going into battle! See for yourself! Battle!

    STONE looks at LANCE.

    STONE
    Is he serious?

    HENDRICKS
    Is the man ever not serious? Let’s check it out.

    All four of the men run down the corridor.

    CUT TO:



    INT. LOBBY – CRYSTAL PEAK – BRIGHT

    Hundreds of soldiers are gathered in the lobby, watching the huge broadcasting screen. On it stands the confident General, JOHN CONNOR.

    The four soldiers we met moments ago enter the room.

    CONNOR (V.O.)
    …you’re tired. We all are. But the war is on the edge of a cliff. And right now, it’s being tipped. We are so close to the end of this. I know you have felt it to. I have news to report.

    FORD
    What do you suppose he’s going to say?

    KERRINGTON
    Shh…

    CONNOR (V.O.)
    The faction known as the Freedom Fighters has been deceased. One of our teams found them on the outskirts of Colorado. They’re no more. We have no more allies to turn to. We are on our own. We will train. We will bleed. We will be confident. It’s 9:45 P.M. here in Colorado Springs, near the mountains. I want you to stand by your posts. I’m speculating that they’ll find Crystal Peak’s location pretty soon, so stand by and protect with all your might. We’re going into battle!

    The picture pauses, then, is cut off the air.

    LIEUTENANT PERRY shows up in the lobby.

    PERRY
    Well, boys, you heard the General. Head to the training room.

    An uproar of positive men begin to yell back and forth to each other, building emotion.

    CUT TO:



    EXT. COLORADO SPRINGS – TRAINING SPOT - NIGHT

    GENERAL CONNOR moves about watching his men doing push ups, running, and leaping up large objects. They repeat the same things.

    A few of them start crawling in the wet dirt.

    CUT TO:



    EXT. COLORADO TOWN – NIGHT

    A few snow spots are in the area but it’s getting significantly warmer. Some soldiers gaze up at the mountain standing tall and firm above. They begin their work by throwing cans of oil onto the rubble. Then, with a switch of fire, they light them up. The blazes continue in a sort of circle. The taller buildings are left with out them for the time being.

    As they night goes on, the soldiers step into the skyscraper buildings, standing guard.

    CUT TO:


    EXT. CRYSTAL PEAK – NIGHT

    LIEUTENANT PERRY and LIEUTENANT CARLOS stand watching their men moving about unloading weapons onto the platform of the entrance to Crystal Peak’s base.

    CARLOS
    Stone, make sure those WESTINGHOUSE 25D3s are secure on the platform.

    STONE
    Yes sir.

    STONE runs off. CARLOS sighs.

    CARLOS
    I don’t know what to expect in the next hours, but whatever happens, Perry, we fight ‘till the end.

    PERRY
    I’m with you, Carlos. I’m absolutely fucking with you.

    PERRY’S CB crackles. He puts it up to his ear.

    CB
    Nothing yet on the radar. I’ll keep watching.

    CUT TO:



    INT. SATELLITE INFORMATION ROOM – DARK

    GENERAL JOHN CONNOR stands by the RADAR WATCHER and the RADAR itself. JOHN scratches his chin.

    RADAR WATCHER
    They’re keeping toward the north, by the mountains.

    CONNOR
    They’ll be coming downtown.

    Suddenly, KATE BREWSTER CONNOR and SOLDIER JOICE barge in through the door.

    KATE
    John!

    KATE and JOHN open their arms as wide as they can and embrace each other, as if they hadn’t seen each other in decades.

    JOHN gazes in her eyes but holds back something from her. She sees it.

    KATE (cont’d)
    What is it?

    CUT TO:



    INT. CONNOR’S QUARTERS – DIM

    The GENERAL faces the direction of his broken SAFE BOX at the far wall. KATE stares at him.

    KATE
    Is it possible for artificial intelligence to lead you to gain trust in it?

    JOHN turns around slowly, as if in realization of the possibility.

    CONNOR
    I don’t know.

    But KATE’S reluctance to believe that is diminished.

    KATE
    No, you lead us to victory.

    CONNOR
    You remember the revelation, Kate, don’t you?

    KATE
    Plain as day.

    CONNOR
    Then you remember that I am killed July 4 of this year. That’s tomorrow.

    KATE’S mouth drops a little. She’s forgotten.

    KATE
    He’s here for a reason, whether that’s to kill you or not, I have no idea. But John, the order of events must lead to the win.

    KATE, seeing her husband between two sides, reaches for his hand and then, they hold each other in their arms.

    CONNOR
    I will find that mainframe. I will find the facility.

    KATE’S eyes water and a tear rolls down her cheek.

    KATE
    (Whispering)

    If not for us alone, but for our children.

    JOHN can’t hold back any longer and he cries.

    From up at the corner near the ceiling of the room, a siren sounds.

    The married couple rush out of the room.

    CUT TO:




    INT. SATELLITE INFORMATION ROOM – DARK

    RADAR WATCHER twists around in his seat quickly as JOHN and KATE speed into the room.

    RADAR WATCHER
    Hundred meters; North.

    JOHN points at the object coming near on the screen.

    CONNOR
    Bomber?

    RADAR WATCHER
    Yes, sir.

    In surprise, the radar screens in the room fizzle out and go completely black. The alarm that was sounding is now cut off. The lights in the room blink continuously.

    RADAR WATCHER 2
    What’s going on?

    ODY comes through the door with his plasma rifle pointing up. The place starts to rumble like an earthquake.

    CUT TO:



    INT. CRYSTAL PEAK – LOBBY – BRIGHT

    The computers in CRYSTAL PEAK’S LOBBY start fizzle out. Weird noises sound. The words ‘SKYNET WINS’ flash across the screens.

    LIEUTENANT FORSYTHE watches the confusion unfold. Some people panic.

    FORSYTHE
    No, please don’t let this be.

    CUT TO:



    EXT. COLORADO TOWN – NIGHT

    KENNEDY brings up the CB to his lips after seeing a spotlight come from the mountains.
    KENNEDY
    Ody, this is Kennedy, do you copy? Over.

    He waits a beat.

    KENNEDY (cont’d)
    Ody, do you-

    From behind him, SGT. MURPHY kicks a rock.

    SGT. MURPHY
    I wouldn’t bother, all communication has been lost?

    KENNEDY
    What?!

    SGT. MURPHY
    We’re on our own, Soldier.

    CUT TO:




    INT. SATELLITE INFORMATION ROOM – DARK

    KATE pulls a plasma pistol from a desk.

    ODY
    No, this is insane.

    RADAR WATCHER
    They’ve got the satellite!

    JOHN charges his rifle’s plasma energy.

    CONNOR
    So be it!

    CUT TO:



    EXT. OUTSIDE SEWERS – NIGHT

    The H-K BOMBER comes within distance and lets loose a missile which drops straight down over the sewer hideout.

    CUT TO:



    INT. SATELLITE INFORMATION ROOM – DARK

    A large and explosion and debris knock everyone in the room off their feet. The fire is quite a distance away but it’s not near JOHN’S group. ODY gets smacked by a piece of block in the back. He falls to the ground, pinned.

    JOHN is thrown into a wall, hitting his head. He lays unconscious.

    KATE only rolls on the ground; she splits her lip.

    Camera pans toward JOHN in a slow motion fashion.

    FADE TO:



    DARKNESS.



    FADE IN:

    SARAH CONNOR’S SOOTHING voice is heard in the dark. JOHN CONNOR, not his younger self, but his current age, replies to her.

    SARAH (V.O.)
    Wake up, John. Wake up. The world is waiting for you. It’s waiting for your decision.

    JOHN opens his eyes to see he’s still in the same room, but SARAH, his mother, is griping his hand. He looks around and remembers what has happened.

    CONNOR
    Mom, what decision are you talking about?

    SARAH
    There’s not much time left in the world, John.

    Suddenly, he’s thrown into the air and ends up someplace else…

    CUT TO:



    INT. SKYNET – BRIGHT

    In the fog, The Terminator steps forward, instead, he says nothing to him, just waiting for JOHN to say something, but JOHN doesn’t know what to say.

    KATE (V.O.)
    (In the distance but becoming louder)

    John… John… John! JOHN!

    CUT TO:



    INT. INT. SATELLITE INFORMATION ROOM – DARK

    KATE’S screaming awakens him. A gash is on the side of his head and he tries to move from under the rubble.

    KATE
    John, are you ok?

    CONNOR
    I’m – I’m fine.

    JOHN maneuvers around the floor.

    CONNOR (cont’d)
    Anybody else alive?

    ODY
    Here!

    ODY leaps up from the ground. SOLDIER JOICE is in the corner rubbing his temples.

    JOICE
    Major headache here.


    KATE watching the flames dance in the rooms beyond. The RADAR WATCHER gets up from the floor just as an ominous figure approaches. It’s THE TERMINATOR series 850, model 101.

    JOHN smiles. KATE grabs his arm as he pulls himself up. He helps her to her feet. But as the cybernetic organism comes forth, JOHN notices his different clothing. They look to be rags. He’s no friend… he’s foe.

    The ASSASSIN TERMINATOR throws up from behind his shoulder the PHASED PLASMA PULSE GUN.

    JOHN and KATE both fall on command, the plasma tracer missing the general by inches.

    ODY, from behind the ASSASSIN TERMINATOR open fires upon the machine. His hits are accurate but not too penetrable, as is proven when the T-850 slowly turns to him only to return the favor straight into his gut.

    The RADAR WATCHER and JOICE jump onto his back, but the ASSASSIN TERMINATOR brushes them off by throwing the RADAR WATCHER across the room and into a table, and backing up at a wall with JOICE still on his back. JOICE’S face is crushed under severe pressure.

    JOHN fires his WASHINGTONHOUSE into the chest of the ASSASSIN TERMINATOR, hoping to fry its fuel cell.

    Just as the ASSASSIN TERMINATOR begins to aim at JOHN, THE REBEL TERMINATOR jumps out of the fire and grabs a hold of the other machine’s back, sending him into a concrete wall. It cracks open, some of it sliding off from its fitting place.

    The powerful cyborgs thrust each other upon the radar screens, shattered the glass to pieces. THE TERMINATOR kicks the ASSASSIN TERMINATOR at the chest, sending it back at the cracked wall. THE TERMINATOR picks up a WESTINGHOUSE and fires upon the ASSASSIN numerous times. The ASSASSIN falls backward and onto the ground.

    For a moment, JOHN and KATE wait for the dust to clear from the room, they see the dark figure approaching. THE TERMINATOR enters their eye sight and looks to JOHN CONNOR.

    CONNOR
    Ain’t that a bitch.

    KATE
    You knew this whole time?

    THE TERMINATOR
    Correct. This was my secondary mission I made for myself.

    CONNOR
    What was the primary?

    THE TERMINATOR
    To find the exact location of Skynet and help the resistance into the base for victory.

    CONNOR realizes something.

    CONNOR
    Was this why you left earlier?

    THE TERMINATOR
    Affirmative.

    THE TERMINATOR heads over to a case and grabs numerous weapons from it.

    KATE
    I thought you would have known Skynet’s location anyway. You’re a ‘thinker’, right?

    THE TERMINATOR
    Skynet backs up files but when we start to free think
    they become corrupt and completely erase from our CPU. It’s a back up plan to prevent any interceptions of information to reach humans.

    CONNOR
    Of course, that’s why you needed the coordinates that my kids brought back.

    THE TERMINATOR
    Correct.

    JOHN knows something is up.

    CONNOR
    Where are we going now?

    THE TERMINATOR
    You two must come with me to a safer location. Then, we must go into Skynet.

    CONNOR
    Let me get my things.

    JOHN leaves the room and into his quarters. KATE is standing now, alone with the thing she sat with in the RV those twenty nine years ago.

    She watches his every move on the weapons.

    KATE
    You feel remorse.

    THE TERMINATOR
    I make moral decisions.

    KATE
    Why?

    THE TERMINATOR
    Because I choose to.

    KATE
    There has to be a reason behind a choice.

    THE TERMINATOR
    Reason is an illusion brought on by humans.

    KATE acts as if this opinion brought on by THE TERMINATOR should affect her.

    But she shakes it off when she hears JOHN coming back from his room.
