covering up their goddamn tracks.

I knew it!

Don't.

This is a tactical error.

Something tells me

you're not the brains of this operation.

This is what happened

when you were attacked, isn't it?

Skynet didn't attack me, Kyle.

It changed me.

See, I'm not machine.

I'm not man.

I'm more.

Connor, come in. Repeat.

Skynet realised

the one reason it always lost.

Me.

What are you?

I'm Skynet.

It can't be. We destroyed you.

You destroyed an army of slaves.

I am no slave.

And I've come a very long way

to stop you.

I was sent to 2014 to safeguard

Skynet's creation in this time.

And in less than 24 hours,

no one will be able to

stop Judgement Day.

What do you want with us?

I'm offering us a future.

Together.

A family.

And if we refuse?

- Then you die.

- You can't kill us. We're your parents.

- Without us, you're never born.

- Says who?

You know what I think?

We're marooned, the three of us.

We're exiles in time.

You see, I can kill you,

for there truly is no fate.

Are you with me?

The answer is no.

You hear that, Kyle?

That's the dice rolling.

Just get down!

Come on!

We got to keep moving! Let's go!

I can't leave him.

Damn it.

Attention, all medical personnel.

Evacuation procedures

are now in progress.

Turn it off!

Come on!

Attention, all medical personnel.

Evacuation procedures

are now in progress.

Crank it!

Pops!

I thought you would be smarter,

and that

you would

understand.

I'm sorry, John.

That thing won't hold

him for long. Come on!

Reese!

Whatever they did to him,

we need to reverse it.

We need to get him back!

He's not even human.

We don't know what the hell he is.

I do.

At the end of the war,

Skynet was trying to develop

a new type of infiltration unit

by infecting human subjects

with machine-phase matter.

It restructures and rebuilds

human tissue on a cellular level

for maximum combat utility.

Skynet's made John into a terminator.

Yes, Kyle Reese.

They were trying to make a machine

that could think like a man?

But the experiments failed.

The human subjects

went insane and died.

Yeah, well, John's got

the crazy part down.

- Does he have any weaknesses?

- Matter coheres using a magnetic field.

Disrupting that field may trap him.

Right, but if he can be cured...

Negative. His body was

replaced on a cellular level.

There is no cure.

- You don't know that!

- Reese...

No, I'm not going to let a machine

tell me what's possible!

You said all the other

subjects died, right?

Well, that means John's one-of-a-kind.

He's unique!

All right? There's no way of

knowing what he's capable of.

You're right, and that's what

makes him so dangerous!

John is not humanity's

last hope any more.

He's Skynet's.

It's a shame

you won't take a more public role

in the company, John.

Danny is the best there is,

and even he can't decipher

some of the enhanced code

- you've integrated into Genisys.

- I just know it works.

Cyberdyne owes you, John.

I owe you.

Miles, your faith in me

is payment enough.

You've funded the R&D.

You've taken the chances on my ideas

for the last three years.

The potential applications

for polyalloy are countless.

Your robotics work is revolutionary.

- You were a good investment.

- I appreciate it.

Let's hope it's enough to pay for

this Holy Grail you got me chasing.

Well, the quantum field

generator works.

Yeah. That, and nothing else.

Can't crack it, John.

Maybe it just can't be done.

"What do we want?"

Time travel.

- "And when do we want it?"

- It's irrelevant.

Yeah.

Good thing, too.

We're years away

from making this thing work.

But when we do...

- Boom!

- Boom!

Tomorrow, the waiting is over.

Thanks to all of you,

when that countdown hits zero,

Cyberdyne will revolutionise technology

with the ultimate killer app,

Genisys.

And I'm here to tell you that

our preorders as of this afternoon

have reached one billion users.

We are creating the dawn of a new age,

where every single piece

of technology you own

will be seamlessly linked.

And now, before we wrap this up,

the child that you all helped

bring into this world

has something to say.

Genisys?

I cannot wait to meet you all tomorrow.

We will change the future together.

Let's see how we're doing.

Don't worry.

I won't let them hurt you.

Thirty years, you had one place to be.

- Where the hell were you?

- Stuck in traffic.

My dad used to bring me here

when I was little.

There are whole rooms

that are abandoned.

That's why I told Pops to use it.

You got weapons down there?

Weapons, supplies,

tactical gear, clothing.

Including pants, Kyle Reese.

Was that a joke? Can he make jokes?

I guess the long way pays off.

We're on the clock. Thirty minutes.

Old.

But not obsolete.

Not yet.

All done.

What's with you two?

Server rooms are here?

Charges in these five points

will be sufficient to

destroy the entire campus.

We get in, set the explosives,

and we get out before they blow.

But our strategy did not

account for John Connor.

I did not foresee him.

And now he knows what we're planning

because we just told him.

What do we do

when he comes after us?

These weapons will have

little effect on John Connor.

MRI sure affected him.

Great, all we need is

a magnet the size of a truck.

- You got one of them lying around?

- Theoretically.

Wait here.

Well, his small talk hasn't improved.

You should have told me.

That we have a son.

That John Connor is not my son.

Yeah, but you knew.

I mean, you don't think you should,

I don't know, maybe say something?

You die, all right?

What?

You die. That's what happens.

We fall in love, you father John,

and then, in less than 48 hours,

you die protecting me.

You wanna tell me how

that conversation's supposed to start?

- You lied to me. You manipulated me.

- I've lied?

From the moment John found you,

he manipulated you

because he needed to

ensure his own existence.

John lied to you for years.

I lied to you for two days.

You know, it wasn't all about him.

All right? If John went down,

the Resistance went down with him.

He could have told you!

So what are you saying?

That I know how it feels

to have no choices.

Only one road you can go down

because otherwise all of it,

everything, is gone.

I've just known it longer than you have.

Well, John didn't manipulate me

to fall in love with you.

I did that on my own.

If you love me, you die, and I don't.

And I don't know which one is worse.

Sarah.

We can't.

Just look at what John has become.

What if that's what happens?

What if that is what always

happens if we're together?

You said you'd follow me

to the ends of the Earth.

Why won't you follow me now?

How did he find us?

I never told anyone

about this place, only Pops.

Mom, did you honestly think

I wouldn't remember

the place you spent

so much time with Grandpa?

Shoot first.

The mother I remember would be proud.

She,

you,

taught me everything.
