you wanna talk to.

- How far is your base?

- It should be 1 or 2 days hike.

It's that way.

What are you saying?

Speak English!

I was telling him...

It is not true,

the part of machines killing us.

They're gonna kill us.

They're gonna kill everyone.

We are

in a cattle cart,

on our way

to the slaughterhouse.

Calm down.

You're not helping.

The most important thing

that we can do right now

is stay alive.

In here

and in here.

Alright?

Just stay alive.

Over there.

Find something

that can burn.

We'll be

at my base tomorrow.

Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

What you got there?

Just some antibiotics.

Antibiotics are hard

to come by these days.

Listen,

I don't have much, but...

you're welcome

to whatever you need.

We've been watching you.

Looking for this?

Come on, guys.

Machines are the enemy.

- We're on the same side.

- No, no.

See, I've got a couple of friends

on my side.

Maybe they can

carry you home...

when I'm done with you.

You might want

a chamber around.

Kill me,

you ain't gonna win this war.

Oh, God!

I'm a little cold.

Relax.

I just want

some body heat.

You have

a strong heart.

God,

I love that sound.

Thank you...

for saving me

back there.

I don't meet a lot

of good guys these days.

I'm not

a good guy.

You are.

You just

don't know it, yet.

Do you think people

deserve a second chance?

Yeah.

I do.

This is it.

Skynet's Valley of Death.

We've never been

this deep before.

We've got to be sure

this thing works

in their territory.

On the bigger machines.

That will bring them in.

H.K.

They're coming.

Turn it up!

It works, man.

The signal works.

It's beautiful.

- Commander Ashdown.

- Connor, tell me it works.

It works.

That is affirmative.

The signal works.

Good.

The attack commences tomorrow

at 0400, worldwide.

Your unit will be at the board

of a bombing in Skynet Central.

What is the extraction plan

for the prisoners?

Extraction plan?

There is

no extraction plan.

We're gonna level

the place.

Negative.

I told you.

Skynet Central

is filled with human prisoners.

This is war, Connor.

Leadership has its cost.

You, above all,

should know that.

Ashdown, come in.

Ashdown, Connor.

Ashdown, Con...

Damn him!

Get back!

Get back!

You have

to calm down, now.

Careful.

Blair.

What?

This is us.

The mines are magnetic.

If we head due west

at this point of entry,

we're good.

I'll go first.

Let's go, Marcus.

I'm starving.

For thou art with me,

thy rod and my staff,

- they comfort me.

- Father.

This is the beginning

of something

wonderful.

- The son of a b*tch is here.

- What do we've got here?

He stepped

on a landmine.

Start a large four IV.

Keep it open.

- I'm okay.

- Patient needs more morphine.

- What's his name?

- Marcus.

He's got

a prosthetic limb?

What?

Okay,

pulse is dead.

Let's see

what we've got here.

Barnes...

The Devil's hands

have been busy.

- What is it?

- It's real flesh and blood.

Though it seems

to heal his off quickly.

The heart is human,

but very powerful.

The brain too,

but with a chip interface.

It has

a hybrid nervous system.

One human cortex.

- One machine.

- What the hell would have they done?

Who built you?

My name is

Marcus Wright.

You think

you're human?

I am human.

No!

No! God!

Where were you

manufactured?

I was born...

August 22nd, 1975.

I know you.

I heard your voice

on the radio.

- You're John Connor.

- Of course you know me.

You were sent here

to kill me.

Kill the leadership.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

Then why are you here?

Blair said you could help me

find who I'm looking for.

Now let me down.

If I let you down...

you'll kill everyone

in this room.

Just you, Connor.

'Cause I ain't

give a sh*t about you.

I didn't even know your name

until two days ago.

No?

You and me...

We've been at war,

since before

either of us even existed.

You tried killing my mother,

Sarah Connor.

You killed my father,

Kyle Reese.

You will not

kill me.

Kyle Reese is on a transporter,

heading for Skynet.

If I wanted

to kill him,

I would have done him

in L.A.

Where did you

find that thing?

You sent Mariah and me

to provide cover for some civilians.

He was

one of them.

Was there

a teenage boy?

I honestly don't know.

They were taking him

to a transport.

- He was the only one left.

- Not he, Blair. It.

It was the only one left.

Don't be nave.

It saved my life.

Kate, what's gonna

happen to him?

Disassembled.

You mean killed.

It may have information

on Skynet.

I know

he's not the enemy.

I've been shot at

by the enemy.

That's not him.

That machine saved you

only to gain access

to kill all of us.

Kyle Reese

Identified

We're gonna be okay.

Don't worry.

For my brother.

No!

Connor wants

to see you.

What for?

Like he's going to tell me,

Barnes.

Let me see that.

You want me to tell Connor

you're not coming?

No.

Watch him.

I told you everything

I know, John.

Skynet is ruthless

and unpredictable.

They will use the best part of you

against yourself,

and they will have methods

I can't imagine or predict.

That I can't

help you with.

And when

you're unsure,

which just always

follow your heart, John.

I love you.

Goodbye.

There's nothing on the tapes

about machines with organs.

That thing in there...

I thought I knew

our enemy.

But that thing...

That makes me feel like

I know nothing.

I looked in its eyes,

and it believes,

absolutely believes,

that it is human.

It believes everything

that it says,

and it is telling me

that Kyle Reese is in Skynet.

If that is true...

The Command is about

to bomb my father

and the rest of those prisoners

and I cannot stop them.

Thank you.

Come in!

Wassup?

Blair says you needed me.

Get in.

Kill them.

Barnes.

What about Blair?

She made her choice.

Get down!

Let's move.

Subtitle by V e R d i K [This is kept to prevent dupe subs]

- Put a light out there.

- We're back in the minefield.

I have a plan.

Come on,

just hurry up!

Let's run!

Let's run.

Move, move!

- Blair, you okay?

- Yeah, I'm okay!

- Get your team back!

- There they are!

Run! God!

Now what?

M-My plan stopped

at the jeep.

Okay.

Do you have

the shot?

I'll draw the fire.

You take out the light.

I got the target!

- Behind the wall.

- Don't move. Do not move!

Down!

Keep your head down!

Keep your head down!

Go, go, go, go!

- Move it, move it.

- Go!

Come on!

Come on!

- You alright?

- Let's get you out of here.

There they are!

On the ground!

Stay on the ground!

47?

Coming straight down.

I'm going in.

- Do not move!

- Keep your eye on them.

Who's there?

Alligator, this is Cockpit 5-1,

we have eyes on the machine.

Contact--

Take my gun!

Check the river.

You see him?

Move!

God!

I'm going down!

Fall!

Give me your hand!

Give me your hand!

I know what you are,

even if you don't.

Enough!

That gun ain't

gonna stop sh*t.

Nobody shot you

in the heart,
