This is proof of

what I've been talking about

for 30-whatever years.

Those two were in 1984.

They were there.

I need to see the suspects.

O'Brien, have you been drinking?

That's what I thought.

Look, we're just teeing this up

for Homeland.

Once they show up, this is their game.

For now, old drunks

with robot fixations ride the bench.

- You really don't want a local?

- I'm fine.

Just do what she wants, it's way easier.

Yeah. Yeah, I preordered

Genisys weeks ago.

Downloading the second

the counter hits zero.

No way I'm standing in line for it.

You know about Genisys?

How? What is it?

Where'd you hear about it?

I'll call you back.

Genisys is an operating system?

What does it do?

Genisys does everything.

My phone will link to my tablet

will link to my computer

will link to my car...

Everything in my life

uploaded and online 24/7.

Totally connected.

Connected to what?

Doctors! Excuse us, please.

You two have a lot to explain.

Starting with who you are.

Nobody in our database

matches your prints.

No facial recognition hits

for driver's licence,

passport, social media accounts,

credit cards,

not even a goddamn student I.D.

- So?

- So that's impossible.

Somehow you've gone so far off the grid

that you don't even exist.

You, on the other hand,

we got a hit when we ran your prints.

Kyle Reese. But here's the thing.

Two months ago,

Kyle Reese was brought in

for fighting in a multiplex.

His parents flipped,

did the whole "Scared Straight"thing,

had him fingerprinted,

sat him in lockup...

Parents?

Yeah, parents.

Kyle Reese was born in 2004. He's 12.

Of course.

They're here. They're still alive.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure

they're not going to I.D. you as their kid.

Except the prints match.

Right? It's because

he's the same person!

He hasn't aged.

Not a bit since I saw him in 1984.

Her, too.

You remember me?

I was younger.

More hair, less...

You saved my life.

I was a uniform cop in L.A.

Who are you people?

Sergeant. Tech-Com.

DN38416, Kyle Reese.

You need to let us go.

Reese, don't.

Soldier. Me, too.

Joined the Marines

straight out of high school, 1979.

What year did you enlist?

Yeah. You're a time traveller!

Look, don't listen to him.

He's got a head wound.

Don't listen to me?

Who landed us in high-density traffic

and got us caught by these morons?

I am ordering you to shut up!

That's all you know how to do, isn't it?

Order people.

You realise you haven't

had a proper relationship

with a human being

since you were a kid.

Yeah? Well, it's your fault

we're stuck here.

- I trusted you.

- My fault? You got us caught,

and now you're gonna get us killed!

'Cause you don't...

Hold up.

- Help me get him up.

- Step back.

- Homeland's here.

- Thank God.

You two are officially

someone else's problem.

O'Brien, I want to talk to you.

Lieutenant, this is

what I was talking about.

Well, you've got to believe me now.

Save it. I don't want to hear it any more.

You were very convincing.

Yeah, well, it worked, didn't it?

Don't worry.

I didn't mean most of what I said.

Look, I can get it myself.

Me unlocking your cuffs

doesn't mean you're not capable.

I didn't say it did.

And don't think me holding on

to you naked meant anything,

because it, you know, did not.

I didn't say it did.

Stay here.

I want to speak to the suspects alone.

Yes, sir.

It can't be.

Brought a handcuff key.

- Don't know why I bothered.

- John!

It's good to see you, Kyle.

- You're alive!

- Yeah.

Of course I am.

Survival is what you taught me.

Hi, Mom.

Danny Dyson,

son of inventor Miles Dyson,

is the face of Cyberdyne

and the creator of Genisys.

- Danny, welcome.

- Thank you for having me.

Look, Genisys is more than

an operating system, it's...

It's more than a lifestyle tool.

It's the future.

Genisys isn't just for consumers.

Its integration into our military

is leading some to ask whether

our reliance on machines

could go too far.

Janssen and Burke.

Where are they?

This way.

But you're talking about a system

that is capable

of real-time decision making.

Aren't you worried that

it could become smarter than us?

Smarter? No. We're in control.

It doesn't think for

itself, it thinks for us.

Cyberdyne is not just

going to change lives.

It's going to save them.

Officers, can I get your help

for a second?

Yes, sir.

Grab their guns and cuff them.

I'm going to get us out of here.

- Stay close.

- Wait!

We all know they can shapeshift.

If you are John, prove it.

- Sarah!

- No, she's right, Kyle.

Lesson one, trust no one.

I remember.

During the Nacogdoches offensive,

I gave you something.

It was a photograph of Sarah

as she is now.

No one saw me do it. We were alone.

You

hate lullabies.

You're a sucker for Elton John.

And you always thought

if you had a child,

you'd sing him Rocket Man.

John?

But you got a terrible voice.

I'm sorry, it's true.

You sound like a dying cat.

It's him. It has to be.

But...

How?

How can you be here?

I have a million questions

to ask you, too.

But right now we need to move.

Did you bring anyone with you?

Sort of. But he's late.

How did you find us?

Someone filmed you

on the freeway with one of these.

- They all have them.

- This is the world now.

Plugged in, logged on all the time.

They can't live without it.

Genisys is a Trojan horse.

Skynet's way into everything.

These people are inviting their own

extinction in through the front door,

and they don't even know it.

A terminator was waiting for me in 1984.

That's the thing about infiltration units,

you can't tell until it's too late.

Gentlemen, will you follow me, please?

This way.

I need information.

You can't be in here.

Go try the nurses...

Dual memories?

That's how you knew to come here?

The timeline changed.

See, this is the moment

to destroy Skynet

before it comes online,

before the war begins.

- You're right.

- What about you?

Yeah. How did you end up in 2017?

The same as you, Dad.

Just from the future, not the past.

"Dad"?

You didn't tell him.

- This can wait.

- No, I want to know!

What?

Sarah's my mother, Kyle.

And you're my father.

- Why wouldn't you say something?

- Couldn't.

Not without the risk

of changing everything.

You're my son? You...

Our son?

I'm glad you finally know.

I have waited my whole life to tell you.

For us to be together.

And now we can win this.

- I know.

- Pops!

No, it's okay, he's with me.

- What are you... What are you doing?

- John!

- Pops!

- John!

Hey, hey. Come on,

breathe, breathe, breathe! John!

- Why did you do that?

- Because he's a killer!

This was always your programming.

Find John and terminate him.

Let him go.

Right now!

That hurt.

Is that pain real, or was that

a trick of memory from when I was less?

Well, this explains a lot.

Yeah. Who sent you back, I wonder?

John, no.

It's not John.

Sh*t!

Call it in. Search the hospital.

Goddamn time-travelling robots
