Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Page #3

So this Terminatrix, how many others

does she have on her hit list?

Twenty-two. Anderson, Elizabeth.

Anderson, William.

Barrera, Jose. Brewster, Robert.

My father?

Having failed to acquire its primary target,

T-X will resume its default program.

-She's gonna kill my father too?

-There's a high probability.

-No.

-Who is he? What does he do?

He's in the Air Force. Weapon design,

secret stuff. I don't know, exactly.

General Robert Brewster

is program director of CRS...

...Cyber Research Systems,

autonomous weapons division.

Skynet. You're talking about Skynet.

Skynet is one of the digital defense systems

developed under Brewster.

Oh, God.

Oh, my God. Of course.

It all makes sense now.

If you hadn't come back when I was a kid,

changed everything...

...she and I would have gotten together

then. I would have met her father.

-Don't you see?

-I don't understand.

Your father.

This is all about your father.

He's the key. He always was. Your father

is the one who can shut Skynet down.

He's the only one who ever could.

We have to get to him

before the T-X does.

-Negative. I cannot jeopardize my mission.

-This is your mission, to save people!

My mission is to ensure the survival

of John Connor and Katherine Brewster.

I am giving you an order.

I am not programmed

to follow your orders.

-After the nuclear war, you both-

-Nuclear war?!

There doesn't have to be a war!

We can stop it!

There is insufficient time.

The first launch sequences

will be initiated at 6:18 p. m.

-What, today?

-Affirmative.

John, what is he saying?

Judgment Day.

The end of the world.

It's today, three hours from now.

Two hours and 53 minutes.

We must continue south into Mexico

to escape the primary blast zones.

No, we have to get to her dad.

The Mojave area will sustain

significant nuclear fallout.

You will not survive.

You mean we go run and hide somewhere

in a hole while the bombs fall?

It is your destiny.

-F*** my destiny.

-John.

You cannot self-terminate.

No, you can't.

I can do whatever I want.

I'm a human being.

I'm not some goddamn robot.

-Cybernetic organism.

-Whatever!

Either we get her father

to shut Skynet down...

...stop this sh*t from ever happening,

or so much for the great John Connor.

Because your future, my destiny,

I don't want any part of it. I never did.

Based on your pupil dilation,

skin temperature and motor functions...

...I calculate an 83% probability

that you will not pull the trigger.

Please do what he says.

You have to save my father!

We can reach CRS

in approximately one hour...

...depending on traffic conditions.

I can't get a line.

The whole cell network is down.

Skynet is assuming control

over global communications...

...in preparation for its attack.

So if this war is between people

and machines...

...why are you on our side?

The Resistance captured me

and reprogrammed my CPU.

I was originally designed

for assassination missions.

So...

...you don't really care

if this mission succeeds or not.

If we get killed,

does that mean anything to you?

If you were to die,

I will become useless.

There will be no reason for me to exist.

Thank you for doing this.

Your gratitude is not required.

I am programmed

to follow your commands.

Her commands?

Katherine Brewster had me reactivated and

sent through the time displacement field.

What exactly am I in this

future of yours?

You're John Connor's spouse

and second-in-command.

No, I-

What?

You're a mess.

Hey, you're not exactly my type, either.

Why didn't I send you back?

I am not authorized

to answer your question.

-Why didn't he send you back?

-He was dead.

Well, that sucks.

-Humans inevitably die.

-Yeah, I know.

So how does it-? No.

Maybe I don't want to know.

How does he die?

John Connor was terminated

on July 4th, 2032.

I was selected for the emotional attachment

he had for my model number...

...due to his boyhood experiences.

This aided in my infiltration.

What are you saying?

I killed you.

This has to be a mistake. As of 1100 hours,

all primary military systems were secure.

They were. Only the civilian sector

was affected. Internet, air traffic.

Minutes ago, guidance computers

at Vandenberg crashed.

We thought it was an error.

It looks like the virus.

-Early warning in Alaska is down.

-Satellite signals are scrambled.

What about the missile silos, the subs?

We've lost contact.

You're saying this country

is completely open to attack.

Theoretically, we could be

under attack already.

Who's doing this? A foreign power

or some computer hacker in his garage?

We can't trace the virus

or pin it down.

It keeps growing and changing,

like it has a mind of its own.

This can't be happening.

The Pentagon's on the secure line.

It's the chairman.

All right.

Look...

...none of this is gonna happen.

We get to your dad, get him to pull the plug

on Skynet. The bombs won't fall.

He won't have to kill me someday.

He'll never even exist.

You and I, we can

just go our separate ways.

You know, Mike Kripke's basement...

That was the first time

I ever kissed a guy.

Really?

Your levity is good.

It relieves tension and the fear of death.

We're hoping you have a solution for us.

I know, sir, but Skynet is not ready

for a system-wide connection.

That's not what your civilian

counterparts there told me.

They say we can stop this damn virus.

I understand there's a certain amount

of performance anxiety...

...but your boys say if we plug Skynet

into all of our systems...

...it'll squash this thing and give me back

control of my military.

Mr. Chairman, I need

to make myself very clear.

If we uplink now, Skynet will be

in control of your military.

But you'll be in control of Skynet, right?

That is correct, sir.

Then do it.

And Brewster, if this thing works...

...you'll get all the funding

you'll ever need.

Yes, sir.

Sir?

Shall I?

No.

It's my job now.

-Skynet Defense System activated.

-We're in.

We're past the firewalls, local

defense nets, Minutemen, subs.

Skynet's fully operational,

processing at 60 teraflops a second.

It should take less than a minute

to find the virus and kill it.

Let's pray to God this works.

Power failure?

No. I don't know what it is.

What the hell is going on?

Daddy!

What are you doing here?

Daddy! Get away from it!

Watch out!

Daddy, don't move.

She'll be back.

We have to shut down Skynet.

Where's the system core?

In this building?

Skynet. The virus has infected Skynet.

Skynet is the virus!

It's why everything's falling apart!

Skynet has become self-aware.

In one hour it will initiate

a massive nuclear attack on its enemy.

What enemy?

Us!

Humans.

Oh, God! It's the machines.

They're starting to take over.

My office, on this floor,

we have to get there.

The access codes are in my safe.

-Why are they killing everyone?

-To destroy any possible threat to Skynet.

Which ones are the codes?

Red envelope.
