"In the future, a computer program called Skynet will declare war on the human race." "Machines have traveled back in time, taking human form to terminate John Connor, the future leader of the Resistance;" "Sarah Connor, John's mother, teacher, and protector;" "Cameron, a terminator reprogrammed to defend them at all costs;" "Derek Reese, John's uncle, and a commanding officer with the Resistance." "Together they fight to stop Skynet from ever being created." "The battle for our tomorrow starts today." "Previously on Terminator:" "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" "He's from the future." "Sent here by John." "Stop Greenway..." "Serrano Point..." "He's concerned about one of the censor board in the control room." "The reactor could melt down." "Skynet wins." "The reactor is overheating." "My name is Catherine Weaver." "I'd like to talk to you about a job opportunity, agent Ellison." "This is Riley." "Now is not the time for this." "So when is the time... to live my life?" "Martin Bedell?" "His name was Martin Bedell." "He was in Century work camp with you." "Right up until the escape." "So I knew him." "You knew him." "Everybody knew him." "But he doesn't know this one, does he?" "Not this Martin Bedell." "No." "Another Martin Bedell." "Maybe it's just coincidence." "How many coincidences named Sarah Connor got killed, before Skynet finally locked in on you?" "So why would they want to kill him?" "He had experience and knowledge that John needed." "Military prep school, then West Point." "Bedell had real training." "He helped John put the Resistance together." "Okay." "There were three Martin Bedells in L.A." "Now there are two." "So how do we know which one is the target?" "They both are." "Machines are thorough." "Only good thing about them." "So it took you, what, 30 seconds to find those names?" "If there is a triple-eight out there, he's found them too." "Where are you going?" "Martin Bedell number one." "Closest address." "Without a plan?" "Yeah, I've got a plan." "It involves guns." "Wait." "You're not going with him." "No." "Everybody, wait." "P. Alto." "We thought it was a person." "It's not, it's a place." "It's a military prep school in Carlsbad." "Here's the student directory." "Martin Bedell number two." "Maybe we got a head start." "I'll load the truck." "We'll go." "We will, will we?" "It's a boys' school." "I can do this." "I am doing this." "Nothing complicated." "Find the kid, throw him in a hole, babysit." "It's as safe as anything we do." "Go." "Two." "Two Sarah Connors were murdered before they found me." "Cameron and I will find the other Martin Bedell." "Maybe we can stop the triple-eight before he gets to you." "He's not a soldier." "No." "Not yet." "You haven't said a word since Anaheim." "That's 40 miles of quiet." "You are...thinking or worrying?" "Thinking." "About Bedell." "After we grab him, where are we supposed to hide him?" "Who said we were going to hide him?" "Martin Bedell hiding in a cave somewhere might as well be Martin Bedell dead somewhere." "No use to John Connor." "Besides, it's a military school." "Soldiers, guns, can't do much better than that." "So you own this nuclear plant, Serrano Point?" "I have an interest in it." "Is this the same company you were referring to the other day?" "The one you wanted me to look into?" "It is." "The near-meltdown a few weeks back..." "The news said an employee caused the accident." "Mr. Ellison, there are no accidents." "Kansas, this is Hammerhead." "Do you copy?" "Kansas, respond!" "It's Kyle." "He's back." "Tin cans just hit Kansas bunker." "Survivors?" "Prisoners now." "One ogre tank, three monkey wagons." "The convoy will roll out... down Wilshire to Century in the next hour." "And I'm thinking" "No, uh-uh." "We've got our orders." "Connor wants this corridor controlled." "So we sit tight, we observe Skynet movement, and we'll report back at regular intervals, and that's it." "What's that report going to say?" "That we observed Skynet move these people into a death camp while we sat?" "I know!" "I know it sucks, all right?" "But if we lose eyes on this road, we could lose a lot more than one bunker, Kyle." "If Connor were here" "Connor isn't here." "Corporal, get below." "Round up every tunnel rat you can find." "Martin." "You know what he'd say." "You know what Connor would say." "Yes, I know what he'd say." "If Connor wants to shoot me for disobeying orders, he can get in line behind the tin cans." "We're doing this." "You all right?" "We see a lot of boys like your nephew, lieutenant." "Single mother." "Socially withdrawn." "Move around a lot." "Tend to cling to male authority figures." "Lost his dad, you said, in the war?" "Killed." "On a mission." "Can't tell you any more than that." "Don't know?" "Can't." "I understand." "Well..." "Good grades." "Good test scores." "Good kid." "Here's what I'll do." "Three weeks as a plebe." "If he likes it, he can stay." "Then we'll talk tuition." "Thank you." "I'll give him the news." "Lieutenant." "I lost one of my tacs a couple weeks ago." "Reservist." "Had to go." "Tac." "Teacher-advisor." "They keep the cadets from going all lord of the flies on us." "Hired a replacement, but he's not due for a week." "I'm shorthanded." "Sir... respectfully," "I'm probably the last guy you're looking for." "Guys like you get dropped into the ass end of nowhere." "You can handle 30 adolescents for a week." "Good news." "You're in." "And what's the bad news?" "I'm in." "Man up, nube!" "You don't want to get owned." "Stop crying about your internet connection, and learn to play." "I got to e.f.k., man." "Martin Bedell?" "Yes?" "Come on, let's go." "Hurry up!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Drive." "You good?" "You okay?" "Seatbelt." "Who is that man?" "He should be dead." "How come he's not dead?" "And where's my mom?" "No more questions." "Your mother's current location is unknown." "That man is a cyborg sent to kill you." "Cameron!" "Get your seatbelt on." "I don't care about the reports, Mr. Nelson," "I know what they say." "What I don't know is...what really happened." "People who wrote that report are bureaucrats." "You know what bureaucrats do when the facts... don't fit their little checkboxes?" "Ignore them." "Or change them." "So this valve supposedly blew open because of metal fatigue?" "Sure." "Okay." "Not likely, but let's grant mother nature that one." "So how in the hell did it force itself closed?" "Okay." "How strong do you have to be, to force it open and push it back?" "On a scale of one to ten?" "Superman." "Report says this damage was caused by a transformer explosion." "You want to see what the security tapes say?" "There are no tapes." "They're gone." "That they are." "And who took those?" "Carl Greenway, on the way to hanging himself?" "Those mystery employees who shut the reactor down?" "You ask the same questions I would." "Putting together a report for the NRC." "They're going to crawl up this place's ass with a wire brush." "It's going to play hell with the schedule." "Schedule?" "What schedule is that?" "August 2009." "New automated system comes online... and we're back in business." "That's what they say." "Of course, that ain't going to happen if the feds are on a war path." "You jammed?" "Yeah." "You know sports?" "Like wrestling?" "No, it's a mnemonic." "Sports." "S-P-O-R-T-S." "May I?" "All right." "So you want to slap." "Pull." "Observe." "Release." "Tap." "Shoot." "All right." "Thanks, plebe." "You're welcome, I think." "Baum." "I'm cadet captain Martin Bedell." "Commandant asked me to keep an eye on you." "Prep you for O.C.C." "What's this?" "It's a merit... for squaring away Pyle." "And that's a demerit." "Next time you have a problem, flag down a senior cadet or an instructor." "You run, Baum?" "I love to run." "You look ate up." "Oh, no." "This is great." "Yeah." "Imagine how it's going to be with a marine D.I. screaming at you." "Like everything's life and death." "I can imagine." "That the new tac?" "Good ambush point." "In case you're looking for one." "Or in case you choose to jog in the woods." "By yourself." "You should be careful." "Of that, too." "It's tar." "La brea." "It's everywhere." "That stuff smells terrible." "It smells like" "Jet fuel." "So..." "You're out here jogging, in the open," "Exposed, with..." "Bedell." "I've heard a lot about you." "A lot of good, I hope, sir." "Lot of good." "So when do I get to call my mom?" "When it's safe." "When's that?" "Soon." "Do you do this every night?" "Yeah." "Well, what happens when you go to sleep?" "She happens." "Let's find you something to wear for bed." "Something in here should fit you." "Try these." "This is too small." "How do you know?" "Just try them." "They're for a five-year-old." "How 'bout this?" "Uh, that's for playing soccer." "Uh, this isn't your stuff." "Is it?" "No." "It's not our stuff." "I want to call my mom." "She was supposed to get me a book." "For my book report." "If you call your mother, that man will use her to find you." "Then he'll kill her." "He'll kill you." "Uh, Cameron." "Would you like a bedtime story?" "We made a tactical error." "We should have engaged the triple-eight." "With a little boy in the crossfire?" "The boy is not important." "He is not our mission." "He is now." "It's just a meet and greet, sir." "Say hi." "Ask them how they're holding up." "Then company dismissed." "It's easy." "Oh, they're probably going to want to ask you about O.C.C. prep weekend." "We take the juniors through field exercises." "Obstacle courses, simulated missions." "Running around in the woods, you know?" "It'll be fun." "Fun." "Hi, I'm lieutenant Baum." "I'm your new tac." "So I've been told... that my job is to make sure that you're all doing okay." "Well, you all look okay to me." "So, um..." "Any questions?" "All right, then." "Sir." "We heard you were in the war." "Heard you seen action." "Yeah." "Yeah, I've seen action in the war." "Got a lot of kills?" "Say again?" "Kills, sir." "I want to go infantry as soon as I get out of here." "Maybe Rangers." "Maybe Delta." "Best of the best." "Best of the best." "Counting kills." "Like it's a game." "Like it's just a game." "I remember one particularly fun day." "A guy in my squad... got his stomach blasted open in a fire fight." "He spent six hours holding his own guts in." "His buddy carried him on his back to the nearest aide station, just praying that someone could put the dumb son of a bitch together again." "The game, Pyle, the game is played with your buddy's life." "With the life of your squad." "Your platoon." "The game is played by you." "On behalf of the whole damn human race." "Meet my friend, the e.f.p." "He sits in the middle of the road and blows up metal." "This is his life's ambition." "I intend to help him achieve it." "We've seeded the street with these things." "We got to make sure that ogre cooperates." "Corporal Reese will take you and set up over at Lacma and the page." "When the convoy rolls to your position, open fire... on this bunker." "The ogre will think it's metal on skin and move to assist." "And when it does, boom." "Questions?" "Move out." "They're kids." "They key off of you." "I know." "Your uncle..." "He's an intense guy." "Yeah, I know." "He's a good guy, though." "He's just--he's a lot to take sometimes." "All that he's been through." "You know..." "What are you supposed to say to that?" "You mean, how do you measure up?" "Every man in my family, going back five generations, has been a general or statesman," "CEO, something amazing." "They all went here." "But you know what the best part about Presidio Alto is?" "The cross-country course." "You know, sometimes when I'm out there-- when I'm all alone, and I'm going flat-out-- everything just, sort of, falls away." "But sometimes, I wish that..." "Wish you could just keep on running and never look back." "I met this girl over the summer." "Her name is Alicia." "She's amazing, dude." "She started at Dartmouth this year." "She's a runner like me." "She's coming home in a couple of weeks." "When she goes back," "I think I want to go with her... and never look back." "That's a secret, Baum." "You treat it as such." "I always do." "I was just on the roof." "There's flat terrain all around, but, uh, the woods are a problem." "When the triple-eight comes, that's where it'll come from." "You're alone and exposed here." "It's not good." "And you're going to tell me I know better." "Bedell is quitting." "Leaving school." "No, he isn't." "He won't." "Well, he is." "He doesn't." "He graduates." "Goes to West Point." "Why?" "Because the future already happened, and... he's just going through the motions?" "He doesn't have a choice?" "He's got a choice." "We've just got to help him make the right one." "Like everybody does with me." "There are three exits within 20 meters, two of them lead to a parking lot." "There's a black hatchback, three cars with the doors unlocked, and the keys above the visor." "I do know better." "We're begging you." "Be merciful and keep our son safe." "Marty, if you can hear this," "We're going to get you back." "Your dad and I love" "Turn that off!" "What the hell were you thinking, letting him watch that?" "He wanted to see his mother." "You all right?" "I told you people." "And I told you I had to get it done by Monday." "And it's Friday already." "And I haven't even started, and I'm already in trouble," "And when you don't do it, the teacher makes you stand up in front of the whole class!" "Marty, slow down." "You're hyperventilating." "There." "Take a breath." "Tell me what this is about." "I told you." "My book report." "Book report?" "Yeah." "It's due by Monday." "And I haven't even picked out a book yet." "Don't you listen?" "Let's find you one." "There's got to be something for you somewhere." "It was John's favorite." "Who's John?" "The machine won't stop." "He'll go back to that kid's house, find his parents, find his mom." "I would." "The police'll be there by now." "Police won't matter." "I know." "You don't need to be here." "There are other places to be." "You want me to protect his parents?" "I want you to keep this contained." "Something you need, officer?" "Good eye." "Job requirement." "Right." "Private sector." "Looking into the plant accident." "When Carl Greenway went nuts?" "Yeah." "When Carl Greenway went nuts." "I understand he used to come in here." "They all do." "Including Carl." "Sit right where you're sitting." "Drink alone." "Drink a lot?" "Tonic water." "Like you, I bet." "Was he alone like me?" "Pretty much every night." "I don't know why the guy came in here at all." "Still, I do remember some hottie chatting him up at the bar the night before everything went down at the power plant." "Probably one of Sandy's friends." "Sandra runs H.R. at the plant." "Her birthday party that night," "I got pictures." "May I?" "Find who you're looking for?" "Actually, quite the opposite." "These going to kill it?" "No, a speed bump." "That's all." "Now, this..." "Raufoss." "Mark 211 round." "Tungsten core, armor piercing." "High explosive incendiary." "Hits with the force of a 20 millimeter cannon." "Saw your dad take down an h-k with one of those." "He liked it better than his plasma rifle." "So this is going to kill it." "It'll make it stop." "Reconsider its life choices." "That soldier..." "The one you talked about in your story." "My dad carried him to that aid station, didn't he?" "Yeah." "He spent a whole night in the bunker, trying to get the blood out of his fatigues." "You know what's funny?" "I saw a deer the other day." "It made me think of him." "We were together the last time I saw one." "Before Judgment Day?" "No." "After." "We were up in Griffith Park, hunting for food." "It was a big bastard too." "Your dad had never seen one before." "I mean, not like that." "After I killed it and we got close..." "Your dad started crying." "You know, more than I'd ever heard or seen him." "I didn't know how to make him stop." "I buried the deer." "We went hungry." "He was just a boy." "So were you." "Yep." "I guess I was." "You see how the metal is twisted?" "You can have the Steelers' entire offensive line... tugging' on that valve... and not generate enough force to do that." "So you agree it was a machine, as I thought." "Two machines." "One machine ripped the valve open, and I'm guessing... the other closed it." "And I'm pretty sure there was a fight between them." "Two machines." "This is new." "Where did they come from?" "Why did they fight?" "Um, I wish I knew." "I wish any of this made sense." "I do know I'm not the only one asking questions." "The plant manager, Nelson..." "He wants the NRC to investigate." "It'll be a nightmare." "That will complicate our respective goals, won't it, James?" "What would those respective goals be?" "I'd like my company to lead the world into the next century." "And I'm fairly sure you're an avenging angel." "So let's keep looking... before the nightmare begins." "Last one." "Hey, it's for my heart." "You never heard of the french paradox?" "Those frogs eat foie gras, and gargle red wine." "They live till they're 90." "Yeah, but it's the chemicals in the grape skins that do it." "Well, uh..." "Bonjour." "Resvera...something." "I saw it on 60 minutes." "You don't say." "You're so beautiful." "Sorry, Alicia." "That's never happened before." "Don't worry, sweetie." "I bet that never happened before, either." "The FBI has moved Marty's parents." "And the triple-eight?" "He's made no attempt to acquire them." "So what would you do now?" "In your professional robot opinion." "Marty's trail has gone cold." "I'd switch targets to the other Martin Bedell." "So go to the other Martin Bedell's house." "Wait for the triple-eight." "When it shows up, blow its head off." "He can put it back on." "Marty likes the crust cut off." "Here you go." "My teacher doesn't like us to pick books that have been made into movies." "She thinks we'll just cheat and watch the movie instead." "You'd be in big trouble if you did." "The movie is pretty different than the book." "Really?" "How?" "Well, the slippers aren't ruby." "They're silver." "And there are two good witches, not one." "And Dorothy's not 16, she's nearer your age." "Smart and brave." "If that guy finds me, he's really going to kill me." "He won't touch you." "I promise." "Baum." "How are you holding up?" "Shouldn't you be digging a tunnel outta here or something?" "I'm not just going to skip out on my buddies." "I owe them this much." "Not everybody gets to run away, you know." "Pick up the pace, Baum." "I'm not going to carry you up this hill." "Triple-eight has been to that kid's house." "It knows about the school." "It has his picture." "How long?" "Cameron says two, maybe three hours." "She's on her way." "You told me, throw that kid in a hole." "Babysit." "Nothing complicated." "It won't touch him." "I won't let it." "You'd better not." "'cause if you do, pray that triple-eight gets to you before I do." "Is, uh-- is everything okay?" "Everything's fine." "Look, I'm sorry." "I didn't" "I didn't mean this." "This was never the plan, ever." "What was the plan?" "I don't know." "You can't always have one." "Not all the time." "Sometimes you just do." "And I did." "To you." "Well..." "You saved my life, right?" "So... good plan." "Thank you." "I said thank you." "I know." "I just..." "I haven't heard that in..." "I haven't heard that." "You're welcome?" "Say it." "You're welcome." "Now say, "Marty... let me help you with your book report."" "I can't call my mom and..." "You're not doing anything." "So..." "Thank you, Marty." "You're welcome." "Tonight's exercise is a rescue extraction." "Meet old Fred." "He weighs about 75 pounds, and needs to be carried from place to place." "This is his life's ambition." "And I intend to help him" "Forget that!" "All eyes on me." "Seniors..." "Get your people online." "Ten meter spacing." "Eyes up." "What about the obstacle course?" "New exercise." "A guy with a gun is going to come through here." "Do not initiate contact." "Not even for laughs." "Are we clear?" "You see him, you send a hand signal up the line." "If I see that hand signal before I see our infiltrator, you win." "Exercise over." "And where will you be?" "Looking for that hand signal." "You're with me." "You too." "Those are detonators." "Claymore simulators." "Here, here, and here." "Now you wait for the signal." "You watch for me to lead the infiltrator past this line." "When he enters the kill zone, you hit the detonator, simulators go off." "End of story." "We go home." "Wait, sir." "The last-minute change of mission?" "Pre-positioned equipment?" "Claymore simulators?" "What?" "We're not having fun?" "Aw, son of a bitch!" "No, no, no, no!" "Aw!" "Got to be a little more specific." "Straight shot from one of the kids must've." "Must've hit one of the f-p's." "It's set them all off, it's a chain reaction." "We're just swinging in the wind." "Where's the ogre?" "It's coming to kill us all." "Where the hell do you think it is?" "Where is the tank?" "About a block away." "Moving towards us." "There's no way we've got enough powder to kill it." "I'm going to lay down some covering fire." "Maybe drop a couple endos." "That'll give Kyle enough time to get back." "Reese..." "We can kill that ogre." "We got one more magic bullet." "We just got to get it out there." "The emerald city was soon left far behind." "As they advanced, the ground became rougher and hillier." "For there were no farms nor houses in this country of the west." "Before night," "Dorothy, and Toto, and the lion lay down upon the grass and fell asleep, with the woodman and the scarecrow keeping watch." "Now, the wicked witch had but one eye, yet she could see everywhere." "She saw Dorothy lying asleep, with her friends all about her." "The wicked witch looked out with her one eye, she said to the king crow," "'Fly at once to those strangers, 'peck out their eyes, 'tear them to pieces.'" "The wild crows flew in one great flock, toward Dorothy and her companions." "When the little girl saw them coming, she was afraid." "Come here." "But the scarecrow said," "'This is my battle, 'lie down beside me and you will not be harmed.'" "Hey!" "Look over here!" "It's me!" "Connor!" "John Connor!" "The witch got into a terrible rage." "She couldn't understand how all her plans to destroy the strangers had failed." "There was only one way left to destroy Dorothy and her friends." "Want me to read for awhile?" "The sky darkened and a low rumbling sound was heard in the air." "There was a rushing of many wings, a great chattering and laughing, and the sun came out of the dark sky to show the witch surrounded by a crowd of monkeys." "'Go to the strangers and destroy them all,' said the wicked witch." "But Dorothy they did not harm at all." "Careful and gently, they lifted Dorothy in their arms and carried her to the witch." "The witch looked into the child's eyes and saw how simple the soul behind them was, and that she did not know of her wonderful power." "The witch said to Dorothy," "'Come with me;" "'for if you do not, I will make an end of you.'" "The little girl grew angry." "'You are a wicked creature!" "' she cried." "In her anger, she picked up a bucket of water that stood near and dashed it over the witch, wetting her from head to foot." "The witch gave a cry of fear." "As Dorothy looked in wonder, the witch began to shrink away." "'See what you have done!" "' the witch screamed." "'I shall melt away.'" "With these words, she fell into a melted shapeless mess." "The wicked witch had come to an end." "Being at last free to do as she chose," "Dorothy ran, no longer a prisoner in a strange land." "Six stops down, there's a pay phone to call your mom." "You got your money?" "If you get into trouble, you call me." "Say "book report" and I'll come." "Whatever it is, I'll come." "Are you a spy?" "No, I'm not a spy." "Are you a mom?" "Yeah, I'm a mom." "You kind of suck at it." "I know." "I'm working on it." "Let's catch your bus." "So this..." "This is what I'm supposed to do?" "Stay here, graduate, go to West Point?" "Like I don't know the end of the world is coming?" "Like any of this-- any of it really matters?" "It does matter." "It all matters." "You believe that?" "I've got to." "I'll see you around, Connor." "Yeah." "I guess you will." "Sometimes I wish..." "I could just wake up from all this." "Like from a dream." "But I can't, can I?" "You want to know what happened... to Bedell-- what really happened?" "I don't know, do I?" "Guess it depends on who I'm talking to." "John Baum or John Connor." "Baum is just a name." "I'll go." "Reese, I run faster than you." "You run like a duck." "You'll never make it." "He's my brother." "You want to save Kyle, or die trying?" "Give me the damn e.f.p." "Please." "I want to take this one." "Run like hell, okay?" "Bedell, you run like hell." "When this thing goes off, you pop those wagons." "You get those people out." "Don't be a hero." "Go!" "And he ran." "He ran so fast." "Fast enough to get to that tank before it got to Kyle's position." "Fast enough to blow it sky-high." "We rescued 40 prisoners that day." "One of them was John Connor." "Martin was always a great runner." "But no one..." "No one could outrun a blast like that." "He died, John." "He died for you." "We all die for you."
