Terminator Salvation
Terminator:
SalvationLongview State Correctional Facility,
Marcus.
How are you?
It's been an hour.
I thought I'd try...
one last time.
You should have stayed
in San Francisco, Dr. Kogan.
By signing
this consent form,
you'll be donating your body
to a noble cause.
You'd...
have a second chance...
through my research
to live again.
You know
what I did.
My brother and two cops
are dead
because of me.
I'm not lookin'
for a second chance.
But I'm not the only one
with a death sentence, am I?
Do you think
I'm gonna kill your cancer
this permanent?
I'm not worried
about myself.
I'm worried about
I'll sell it to you.
For what?
A kiss.
So that's what
death tastes like.
CyberDyne Systems
Genetics Division
Donor Informed Consent
Willed Body Release
You are doing something
very noble.
I'm guilty.
Just cut me up
until there's nothing left.
That I walk through the valley
of the Shadow of Death.
I will fear no evil.
For thou art with me,
thy rod and my staff,
they comfort me.
Do you have
any last words?
Early in the 21st century, Skynet,
a military defense program,
became self-aware.
Viewing humanity
as a threat to its existence,
Skynet decided
to strike first.
The survivors of the nuclear fire
called the event Judgement Day.
They lived only
to face a new nightmare...
The war
against the machines.
To hunt down
and eradicate humans,
Skynet built Terminators.
As the war rages on, leaders
of the Human Resistance grow desperate.
Some believe one man
holds the key to salvation.
Others believe
he is a false prophet.
His name is John Connor.
The year is 2018.
Approaching target:
Skynet Research and Development Facility
Bag Art,
this is Black Hawk Six.
Result in outer Skynet target.
TTO 11 seconds,
taken close.
- Come on, come on!
- Move, move!
- Help, go back!
- Right here!
Connor is on the ground.
This mission
is a quick in-and-out.
Command teams the information
on those computers
should be
at the highest priority.
Connor, there's no sign
of the machines.
They're gone.
We too quiet.
It's almost like
they were waiting for us.
What the hell's
that smell, man?
Whoa!
You're seeing this?
Olson.
Objective located.
There's something else
you'd have to see.
We got what we came for,
Barbaros.
The clock's ticking.
Spread out,
secure the perimeter.
I got a big gap
over here.
Why didn't we know
about this?
Login Over-ride
Skynet Terminal
Sir, I think this is
what Command's looking for.
I'm in
their source code.
These people are being taken
up north to San Francisco.
Some sort of R&D project,
for a new Terminator.
Send it to Command.
It's uploading,
I need two minutes.
Wait, wait, wait.
Go back. Go back!
Stop!
T-800 Model 101 Cell #456
CyberNetic Organism
- T-800.
- A new Terminator.
Thought you said
it would be...
It's worse.
Connor, get your nose
out of that.
None of your business.
You're not
leading this mission.
Alright, let's cut
these sorry bastards loose.
Come on, let's go!
- Kirk, come in.
- What's that?
Come in, Guettow.
Connor,
get your ass top-side.
Remind those men
they need to answer me on the radio,
even if they're dead.
Connor!
Connor,
get those men to respond.
Olson,
something's wrong up here.
Top-side, come in!
Help out enemy aircraft,
I'm in pursuit.
There are human prisoners
aboard there.
Get after 'em.
Pay to transpond the plane.
Connor, we're joining you, top--
Bravo Ten, Bravo Ten.
Do you copy? Over.
Eagle White to Bravo Ten.
Bravo Ten, do you copy? Over.
Bravo Ten, Bravo Ten,
do you copy? Over.
Here.
Bravo Ten, identify.
Over.
Connor!
We'll send units
to the extraction point.
How many survivors
are outside? Over.
One.
Copy.
Return to base, sir?
RGB?
Negative.
Take me to Command.
Sir.
Command!
Roger, re-routing.
Request
has been denied.
Command doesn't want
to give up their position.
Radio cogs, over.
Are they down there?
Request
has been denied, sir.
Need to go home.
It's straight from the top.
You open up that ramp!
And you tell them...
I need divers for a log-in.
Now!
This is crazy.
Resistance Command Headquarters
John Connor,
prophesied leader of the Resistance.
Soldier, you put every man
and woman in this sub
in jeopardy
with your little frogman stunt.
What the hell
are you doing here?
What did we find
down there?
You'll be pleased down
the need-to-know basis.
Well, I need to know,
because my men died
down in that hole.
What did we find
down there?
We found the solution,
Connor,
that can end this war,
once and for all.
We know the machines use
short-wave transmitters
to communicate.
Our intel has located
a hidden signal
under
the primary channel.
It allows for direct control
on the machines.
Skynet's a machine,
and like all machines,
it has an off-switch.
Does it work?
Will it work?
Yes.
Have we field-tested it?
No.
Give it to me.
I'll do it.
I'll test it.
Connor,
you can stay Comm unit.
Have a nice one record.
Alright.
Leave Connor in top-side.
Prepare for lock-out.
Connor,
we do this right...
The war is over.
Remind our offensive
in 4 days.
Connor...
These are the codes
for the signal.
Good luck.
Why four days?
A kill list was intercepted
from Skynet.
It says everyone in this room
will be dead by week's end.
You are number two
on the list.
Well,
who's number one?
I don't know.
A civilian.
Kyle. Reese.
Barnes...
My brother...
He didn't make it, did he?
This is tape number 28.
It's Sarah Connor to my son, John.
What's most difficult
for me
is trying to decide
what to tell you
and what not to.
Should I tell you
about your father?
Will it affect
your decision
to send him back in time
to protect me,
knowing that
he is your father?
And he'll be younger
than you,
only a teenager,
when you meet him.
Kyle. Person could go crazy
thinking about this.
But if you don't send Kyle,
you can never be
and Skynet will win the war.
Want to talk about it?
Skynet Transmission
De-activated
Kyle is out there
somewhere alone
and Skynet
is hunting him.
What about the signal?
What do you think?
Skynet Transmission
Initiate Shutdown
If it works,
it's incredible.
Yeah.
- We have to be careful.
- I agree.
But we have to try.
Okay.
Alright then,
start with something small,
something
more familiar with.
We should try
to capture a Hydrobot,
bring it in for testing.
Yeah.
What is it, John?
Kill Kyle Reese,
reset the future.
No John Connor.
Red Clown
Toy Company, Inc.
Hey!
Come with me
if you want to live.
What is that?
She doesn't talk,
but you need to start.
Where did you
get that jacket?
The other guy
didn't need it.
You see that red?
It stands for blood.
It's a symbol
of the Resistance.
You're obviously
not a Resistance fighter,
so take it off.
Take it off!
You point a gun
at someone,
you better be ready
to pull the trigger.
