"Before they died, my parents told me stories of how the world once was." "What it was like long before I was born." "Before the war with the machines." "They remembered a green world, vast and beautiful." "Filled with laughter and hope for the future." "But it's a world I never knew." "By the time I was born, all this was gone." "Skynet, a computer program designed to automate missile defense." "It was supposed to protect us, but that's not what happened." "On August 29, 1997," "Skynet woke up." "It decided all humanity was a threat to its existence." "It used our own bombs against us." "Three billion people died in the nuclear fire." "Survivors called it Judgment Day." "People lived like rats in the shadows." "Hiding, starving or, worse, captured and put into camps for extermination." "I was born after Judgment Day, into a broken world" "ruled by the machines." "The worst were infiltration units designed to pass for human." "We sailed them terminators." "It's okay, boy." "Good boy." "Are there others down here?" "And then one man found me." "His name is John Connor." "And he changed everything;." "John showed us how to fight back." "How to rise up." "He freed prisoners." "Taught us how to smash the machines to scrap." "People whisper about John, wonder how he can know the things he does." "They use words like "prophet."" "But John is more." "We're here because tonight, he's going to lead us to crush Skynet." "For good." "Sir?" "Request to join the Colorado offensive." "I need you with me, Reese." "We're talking about the complete destruction of Skynet, sir." "The Colorado unit will succeed." "The machines will fall tonight." "But right here, the Los Angeles assault is just as important, maybe more." "More important than destroying the Skynet's central core?" "John, I don't understand why you're leading an attack on a workcamp." "Because the camp is a camouflage." "Inside the camp is a hangar." "Beneath that hangar Skynet has hidden its final weapon." "When Skynet realizes it has lost, it will deploy that weapon to ensure its own survival." "We take it tonight, or there is no tomorrow." "Then we'll take it." "You're my right hand, Reese, and I've never thanked you for it." "You don't need to." "You gave us all a future, John." "I'm gonna use mine." "When this is all over," "I'm gonna find my parents' house." "Rebuild it." "Use my hands for something other than killing." "How about you?" "A cold beer would be good." " That's some pretty big plans." " Yeah." "Yeah, I guess I don't think about it too much." "I can see that." "Well, I figure, whatever happens, it's got to be better than this." "So many of us have died to get here." "I want you to know, Kyle, if there was another way, I would have taken it." "We're moving out." "The machine thinks that we cannot win!" "The machine thinks that we will not strike at the very heart of Skynet!" "Yet, here we stand on the precipice of the final battle." "If we die tonight," "Mankind dies with us." "Now!" "I look at each of you, and I see the marks of this long and terrible war." "Go!" "Go!" "Perimeter breach." "Activate model 101." "For our children, our children's children, so they will not carry these marks." "But they wit!" "know who we are and what we did." "That we did not bow down!" "We did not give in!" "We rose up, at this moment, at this hour, willing to sacrifice everything" "so that they can live in freedom!" "On this night, we take back our world!" "They're using the weapon!" "We've got to get to the hangar." "John!" "John!" "You want me, I'm right here!" "Colorado unit's reporting in." "Skynet's central core is down." "Repeat, Skynet has been destroyed." "John was right." "The Colorado unit succeeded," "And the machines fell." "But it was too late." "Wefoundit ,sir, right where you said it would be." "What is that thing?" "Fate." "It's the first tactical time weapon." "Skynet just used it." "What the hell?" "Hmm." "Huh." "We'll need 15 minutes to ready the machine, sir." "We're running coordinates, we should have them for you momentarily." "Los Angeles, 1984." "Los Angeles, May 12," "1984." "Skynet knew it was losing, so it tried to rig the game." "It sent a terminator back to the time before the war." "And who's the target?" "My mother." "Sarah Connor." "If the machine succeeds, I'll never be born." "They'll kill her first." "And by doing so, erase every victory we've fought for, including tonight's." "There won't be a resistance to challenge the machines." "With this one act, Skynet will win." "We can use the technology ourselves, send someone back." "We don't even know if that'll work." " I'll go!" " I'll go, sir!" " Right here." " I'll go!" "I'll go!" "I'll volunteer!" "I'll go back." "Why should I send you over all of them?" "Because I'd die for Sarah Connor." "All these people would die for Sarah Connor." "What makes you any different?" "You know why." "Everything you've told me about her." "I know her, John." "Let me save her." "No weapons?" "We've measured the magnetic field, it'll rip apart anything not encased in living tissue." "Think tinfoil in a microwave times a few billion, nothing left but a crater." "Oh!" "No clothes, either." "Huh." "She's going to think I'm crazy." "You knew the device would be here." "You knew when it'd be set for." "You knew the machines would fall tonight." "Just before I go, tell me..." "Tell you what?" "Do you see the future?" "No one can see the future, Reese." "Okay, then how do you know'?" "I cheat." "Sarah told me so much." "Gave me signposts." "When I was a kid, it seemed like my mother knew everything." "That must've been great." "Not really." "It stops here." "Once you go back, my knowledge ends." "That's as much as Sarah knew." "So no more cheating." "No more cheating." "The time you're going back to, she won't be the warrior that raised me, not yet." "She'll be scared and weak." "She won't know how to fight or defend herself." "Her biggest worry is making rent and tuition." "She's a waitress." "A what?" "A..." "Never mind." "Just be ready for the fact that she will need you, but she won't know it." "Okay, so what do I say to her?" "Even when I tell her who I am, she's not gonna believe me." "Tell her this..." "Thank you, Sarah, for your courage during the dark years." "I can't help you with what you must soon face, except to say the future is not set." "There is no fate but that which we make for ourselves." "You must be stronger than you imagine you can be." "You must survive, or I will never exist." "Take care of her for me, Kyle." "I will." "I promise you." "What you're doing right now, this is the end of the war." "You didn't think it would be that easy, did you?" "John!" "Hey, birthday boy!" "Present time." "Let's go!" "No way!" "Genisys will auto-update as soon as it comes online." "You'll have it the moment it comes out." "Just a few days more." "A straight line." "Remember, Genisys is Skynet." "When Genisys comes online, Judgment Day begins." "You can kill Skynet before it's born." "Hey, hey..." "Hey..." "Hey." "Hey, bud." "Did you just see a real bright light?" "Hey!" "It's my turn." "Hey, hey!" "What's wrong with this picture?" "Nice night for a walk, eh?" "Nice night for a walk." "Wash day tomorrow." "Nothing clean, right?" "Nothing clean, right." "Hey, I think this guy's a couple cans short of a six-pack." "Your clothes, give them to me." "Now." "Hey, fuck you, asshole." "You won't be needing any clothes." "I've been waiting for you." "Hey!" "That son of a bitch just stole my pants!" "What day is it?" "What year'?" "May 12, 1984." "The day you arrive." "LAPD!" "Freeze!" "All right, that freakin' hurt." " Garber, you okay?" " You tell me, O'Brien." "You're human." "Hey, you got to let me go." "Face down!" "Hands on your back, or I will shoot!" "Listen to me..." "Hey!" "It's coming, all right?" "You need to listen to me, or we're all going to die." "I had it under control." "Yeah, okay, T.J. Hooker." "Here's what you don't do your first day on the beat." "Use lethal force on the delusional homeless guy." "By the way, you're filling out the paperwork on this." "Garber!" "Shit." "That's got to be an alien, like from outer space." "It's a machine that kills humans." " Uncuff me!" " No!" "You're under arrest!" "What part of "kills humans" is confusing to you?" "Handcuffs!" "O'Brien." "Officer down." "We need backup." "It's a robot!" " We're screwed, aren't we?" " Pretty much." "Come with me if you want to live." "Now, soldier!" "Reese, right?" "Kyle Reese?" " You're Sarah." " Yeah, I know that." "You hit your head back there?" "The terminator." "I don't know the model." "T-1000." "Liquid metal." "Shape-changer." "It just needs to touch something to mimic it." "You know about terminators?" "And you know who I am?" "You were sent to protect me by John Connor, the leader of the Resistance." "My son." "I don't understand." "You can't know any of this." "But I do." "Listen to me, Reese, everything's changed." "The 1984 John sent you to, it no longer exists." "No, this is all wrong, all right?" "John sent me here to save you." "From the terminator that was sent back to kill me." "I know, but we already took care of him." ""We"?" "Get down!" "Reese, stop it!" "Reese, God damn it!" " Stay here!" " Reese, wail!" "Those bullets will kill him!" "He's hereto kill you!" "Stay in the truck!" "Oh, great." "That's just great." "I did not kill him." "We do not have long before the T-1000 acquires our position." "Arguing with Kyle Reese puts us at a strategic disadvantage." "Bite me." "That is a very immature response." "So you're the one I've been waiting for all my life." "How is he?" "Still breathing." "Good." "Then you should be able to mate with Kyle Reese in this timeline." "Okay, we're not having this conversation again." "We know that your son will be John Connor, and that the machines cannot be defeated without him." "I do not see a choice." "Story of my life." "Look, and it's not just mating." "I'm supposed to fall in love with him." "My files do not deal with love." "Shocker there." "You're being emotional." "This is my life." "I wouldn't mind being consulted once in a while about how it's gonna go." "Remember, Genisys is Skynet." "When Genisys comes online, Judgment Day begins." "Go to San Francisco, 2017." "You can kill Skynet before it's born." "Hey!" "I need answers, all right." "Right now." "How'd that liquid metal thing know where to intercept me?" "Huh?" "Where'd it come from?" "And who the hell is this skin job?" "What the hell is going on?" "Sorry, we were a little busy with the whole life-and-death combat thing." "And then you attacked Pops." "You named it?" "Hello, Kyle Reese." "It is nice to meet you." "Are you kidding me?" "I've been trying to teach him to blend in." "I know it needs work." "It's a terminator!" "The only reason it blends in is to kill humans." "Pops doesn't kill anyone." "A lot of leg wounds, though." "It looks old." "I've never seen a terminator old before." "The flesh they put on the cyborgs is normal human tissue." "It ages." "My auditory circuits have not degraded, however." "I'm old." "Not obsolete." "I think you hurt his feelings." "It doesn't have feelings!" "He saved my life when I was nine." "He's the only reason I'm alive." "I was programmed to protect Sarah Connor." "I will not stop." "Yeah?" "Programmed by who?" "Huh?" "Who sent him back?" "Those files have been erased." "Oh, that's convenient." "Whoever sent him, they don't want us to know." "Not me, not him, not anyone." "So Skynet can't target the person who saved me." "Logically, it is someone who wants Sarah Connor to live." "Old." "Not obsolete." "The T-1000 knows where we are." "Make yourself useful." "And don't shoot Pops." "This is insane." "All of it." "This is not the mission." "That's what I'm trying to tell you, Reese." "The girl that you came back for, she's gone." "I don't need saving." "There's a new mission." "Oh, yeah?" "Which is?" "If the past can change, then so can the future." "We can stop Judgment Day from happening." "Ever." "Kill Skynet before it's born." "What?" "Get down!" "We have been reacquired." "Uh, yeah." "No shit!" "Get back!" "Wait, why are we stopping?" "Why are we..." "Hey!" "We can't stay here, it'll find us." "That's the idea." "Pops, get it open." "Give me a hand?" "You said it happened 'cause the past was altered." "How?" "Oh, does that matter'?" "How, Sarah?" "A terminator was sent after me when I was a kid, okay?" "Terminators only come from one place, the future." "Something happened." "Okay." "So?" " I think I might have seen it." "What..." "What are you talking about?" "When John sent me back, he was attacked." "By a terminator." "Did it kill him?" "Is John dead?" "I don't know." "I saw it grab him, and then I was gone." "We have approximately 35 seconds." "Or less." "Sarah, go!" "And I volunteered for this shit." "Sarah?" "You got to help me." "I'm hurt." "Sarah?" "Shit." "Hey, it's me, Sarah!" "Sarah, he's lying." "Hey." "He's the machine." "I'm Reese." "It's me, Sarah." "All right, listen' the terminator's not dead." "It attacked me!" "Sarah, you said they could mimic." "It's me, Sarah!" " He's mimicking." "Shoot him!" " I'm Reese!" "Shoot him!" "Nice try." "Run!" "How'd you know which one was him?" "Well, I didn't know exactly." "You could have shot me!" "Well, I was pretty sure it wasn't you." "Pretty sure?" "We've been prepping for you to arrive for over a decade." "That, too." " So you set a trap." " Had to." "Can't leave any future tech behind when we go." "Go?" "Go where'?" "That's..." "A Time Displacement Device." "Yeah, well, it looks like a piece of junk." "There's no governing technology in this time that can control the displacement circuits." "You needed the CPU from the future to make it run." "And you couldn't exactly use your own." "We get one trip only." "H's gonna fry the chip, and take out most of the L.A. city power grid." "Are we ready?" "The coordinates are set for 1997." "You must leave as soon as possible." "We." "We're going." "All of us." "My flesh will take years to regrow." "I cannot come with you due to the magnetics of the quantum field." "Pops!" "You want us to time travel?" "Into the future." "In that?" "Yeah, we can't be wearing anything." "Yeah, I know how time travel works." " Sarah..." " Look, don't try and talk me out of it." "Look, I know you think you're here so you can just lock me in a room until I give birth to the leader of the Resistance." "You're right." "But this..." "This is the only way to stop Skynet for good." "I already said you're right." "Wait, what?" "Not to '97." "2017." "Yeah, October 2017." "No, that's too late." "That's after Judgment Day." "No, you said everything's changed, and you're right about that, too." "Sarah..." "Look, I've seen a world where the bombs never fell." "All right?" "The same house." "The same parents." "It was the same me, only I was..." "I was home." "It was my 13th birthday." "A dream of having your family back doesn't mean a thing." "Trust me." "Not a dream, all right?" "A memory." "I can't hold on to all of it, just moments, but I was given a message." ""You can kill Skynet before it's born."" ""Skynet is Genisys."" "It comes online October 2017." "And when it does, Judgment Day happens." "So you're remembering the future?" "No." "The boy is the alternate timeline version of you." "Kyle Reese is remembering his own past, which is our future." "That makes it so much better." "How can he be remembering two timelines?" "It is possible if he were exposed to a nexus point in the timeflow when you were in the quantum field." "Can you stop him talking like that?" "Is there a switch or something?" "Pops try again." "A nexus point is an event in time of such importance that if gives rise to a vastly different future." "After John was attacked, when I was in the sphere, that's when the memories began." "John!" "If John Connor were to be killed or compromised, it could result in the ability to remember both pasts." "Theoretically." "Or "theoretically"" "his brain is scrambled from when you hit him on the head." "Sarah!" "I don't know why I'm remembering a life I never lived." "But I know it's real." "No." "We go to 1997." "Reese, put that back!" "I can't let you do this." "I don't know you." "But that is my one bullet to fire at the heart of Skynet." "Give the chip back." "You have to trust me." "No." "I don't." "You can do this." "A straight line." "You just go, and you don't look back." "Where did you hear that?" "In a past I shouldn't remember." "But I do." "If we go to 2017, then what?" "Skynet's a computer program." "As long as it's still being coded, it's contained." "Once it's uploaded from the servers, it can't be stopped." "We blow it the hell up." "Yeah." "We blow it the hell up." "You think he's dead, don't you?" "It doesn't matter what I think." "We do what John would, keep going no matter what." "So we just pretend like it never happened?" "Well, it hasn't." "Not yet." "If we stop Skynet, it never will." "Trust me, all right?" "If anyone could survive, John would." "Pops had all these files about John the military leader, but..." "What was he like?" "The first moment I saw John, he shot a terminator right in front of me." "I didn't even know they could be killed." "That was the first moment in my life I felt hope." "After that, of course," "I followed him around like a stray dog." "And he taught me how to fight, how to shoot." "Tried to show me how to make moonshine once, but that didn't exactly work out." "Moonshine?" "Yeah." "The still exploded, and we burned our eyebrows right off." "Oh, man, we laughed for days." "Sometimes I think I'm the only person on the planet that ever saw John Connor smile." "He used to tell me about you." "How strong you were, and how you prepared him for what was coming when no one thought the danger was real." "How there was no one else like you, and never would be." "Look, uh..." "I know I'm not what you expected." "But I want you to know," "I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe." "Even if it kills me." "Anyway, that's the kind of man your son was." "Is." "Will be." "Jesus." "Time travel makes my head hurt." "Alternate timelines are not complicated." "It's merely a matter of tracking possible futures using an exponential growth and decay algorithm." "Right." "There is a switch, and I will find it." "I do not understand." "Why did you not tell Kyle Reese the truth?" "I will tell him." "Just not yet, okay?" " Did you mate?" " Oh!" "Can you just not say the word "mate" to me again, like, ever?" "That is a meaningless gesture." "Why hold on to someone when you know you must let them go?" "What about you?" "What will you do?" "Take the long way." "Prepare for your arrival in 2017." "Kyle Reese, I've seen little to indicate that you're a fit guardian for Sarah Connor." "You know you're not her dad, right?" "Oh, you both just really need to stop this." "Just make sure you show up." "I don't want to have to steal someone's pants again." "I have the coordinates in San Francisco." "I'll be there." "What will it be like?" "You mean if it doesn't kill us both?" "It'll hurt." "Hey, hey, hey." "It's okay." "I got you." "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's all right." "I got you." "I got you." "It's okay." "I got you." "Hey, asshole!" "Get off the road!" "Bite me." "I told you we couldn't trust him." "He'll find us." "I can count on him." "How does a 9-year-old get her own terminator?" "It's okay." "You don't have to tell me." "It was back in 1973." "My parents had a cabin at Big Bear Lake." "Dad and I would always go fishing in the morning." "Mom would wave to us from the dock." "And I was just looking at her in the..." "And then the cabin exploded." "I thought the boat was sinking, you know, but it wasn't water coming up from below, it was liquid metal." "T-1000." "Dad told me to swim in a straight line," "tracing his finger across my palm." ""You can do this," he said." ""You go, and you don't look back."" "His last words to me, and you..." "You knew them." "How?" "It's an impossible memory." "I..." "I just remembered you taking my hand, and then saying those words." "And I was just looking at you, thinking," ""She's..." "She's beautiful."" "Sorry." "I shouldn't have..." "So your dad told you to go, and then..." "And then I jumped in and I swam." "I made it to the dock." "And I hid under it." "Pops found me." "And he pulled me from the water." "And he said that he would never let anyone hurt me." "He's the only person who has always been there." "Except he's not a person." "All right?" "He's a human-shaped thing that's been designed, programmed to gain your trust." "Look, if Pops wanted me dead, I'd be dead." "This is what they do, all right?" "They infiltrate, they get close." "Your "Pops" could have directives built in he doesn't even know about." "Just because you two don't get along..." "It's not about getting along!" "This is about keeping you alive." "Yeah, well, I was raised by a machine to kill cyborgs and survive the nuclear apocalypse." "I think I'm doing just fine, thanks." "Two naked perps try to blow themselves up on the freeway, all they do is make a really big pothole." "Thank God for incompetent terrorists." "Homelands on their way." "Good." "The sooner we dump this on them, the better." "Ah!" "Who called Optimus Prime?" "Lieutenant!" "Wait up!" "Wait up!" "Did you see it?" "Did you?" "Hey, look, I got some frame grabs from the overpass." "See?" "It..." "It's not a bomb!" "Listen." "That..." "That sphere..." "They came out of it." "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 lotto explain." "Starting with who you are." "Nobody in our database matches your prints." "No facial recognition hits for drivers license, 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?" "2021." "Yeah." "You're a time traveler!" "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 realize 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 anymore." "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." "Slay 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, ifs..." "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 lime." "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?" "Oh, 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." "Ah..." " 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." "Shit!" "Call it in." "Search the hospital." "Goddamn time-traveling robots 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 realized 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 Judgment 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 anymore." "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 RD." "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." " Huh?" " Phew!" "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 revolutionize 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 new, before we wrap {his 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." "I know you." "Who you are." "What you'll do." "You can't run from me." "I'll always find you." "John, fight this!" "It doesn't have to go down this way!" "There's a momentum to time, Kyle." "Things that want to happen." "Like I always survive, and you always die." "Or..." "You can fight with me, Kyle." "Like we always have." "There's a storm coming, and it won't be stopped." "But it has to be." "You know what will happen." "You better than anyone!" "I can!" "be bargained with." "Can't be reasoned with." "John, please!" "I don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." "John, please!" "And I absolutely will not stop ever until Skynet rules this world." "Rule this." "Pops!" "Are you..." "You?" "As a T-800, I lack the mimetic skills to appear as anyone else." "It's him." "Let's go." "Come on!" "Sarah Connor, seat belt." "What's that supposed to do?" "Disrupt John Connor's magnetic coherence field." "His particles will not be able to scatter." "Theoretically." "I hate it when he says that." "Where is he?" "I can't see him!" "Suspects ﬂed barracks in a stolen school bus." "Considered armed and extremely dangerous." "Sixteen-Mary-David." "Code 3 on suspects." "Pops!" "Nice to see you." "Get out." "The brakes are gone!" "Shit!" "Where is he?" "Do you see him?" "Reese!" "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "Never better." "Let me see your hands!" "Reese!" "Take my hand!" "Hurry!" "Hands up!" "Let me see your hands now!" "Get your hands up!" "Hands where we can see them!" "You can't wound them all before they'd kill us." "I'm 14 rounds shod of an acceptable success margin." "Ugh, those odds suck." "Stand down." "Down on your knees." "Let's go, get down." "Get down!" "You can't hold us here." "You had enough weapons to invade the Sudan." "We call that probable cause." "What are these for?" "I use them to find my keys." "No one likes a smart-ass, son." "Didn't your mother teach you that?" "My mom was Irish, so she encouraged my smart-assed-ness." "I've never seen him before." "How about you folks?" "You know this man?" "No." "He does look familiar." "He kind of looks like you, Dad." "They're here, sir." "Okay, if you wouldn't mind waiting in the conference room," "I'll just be a couple of minutes." "Thanks, Kyle." "You don't talk much, do you?" "So who's Lurch?" "No idea." "We're not even sure he speaks English." "Witnesses say you were fighting with a man on the bridge." "Agents." "Listen to me." " My name is O'Brien." " No." "Hell, no!" "Hey, I've been working this case for 33 years." " What do you want, a medal?" " Hey!" "Sit down!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Oh, shit." "He's looking right at you." "That's impossible." "He can't see through..." "Wait, wait, wait!" "Why are they always trying to kill you?" "I want to help you." "I do." "I think." "But I gotta understand." "I know what's going on here has to be really, really complicated." "We're here to stop the end of the world." "I can work with that." "Kyle!" "Get back here!" "Sarah?" "Get Reese." "I'm right behind you." " Get in your car and go." " Okay." "Kyle!" "Kyle." "Kyle." "You can do this." "A straight line." "You just go, and you don't look back." "Got it?" "Find him." "Go!" "That's yours, too, I believe." "Nice to see you." "Pops." "Load up." "Liquefied magnetic shotgun shells." "Magnetic Riﬂe Entry Munition." "That's the new breacher." "Big blast, no shrapnel." "Blows a door clean off." "You know, for people who can't do that themselves." "Take it." "Let's go." "You can ﬂy, right?" "Yeah." "John taught me." "I'll tell them you took a car, headed south." "Thank you." "Run away." "Hang on!" "Which way is Cyberdyne?" "Head to the Bay Bridge, then southeast." "You got to get him off me!" "Cyberdyne." "The manufacturing and research buildings are all below ground." "He's gaining on us!" "All right, Sarah, I need you to back him off, so I can get above him." "Pops, when I do that, can you take him out?" "I can." "Okay, hold on!" "You got this?" " I'll be back." " What?" "Call in, call in!" "Police, fire, everybody." "Do it!" "Come on, come on." "Pick up the phone, damn it." "Mr. Connor'?" "Sorry, Doug, but I'm afraid I can't have any witnesses." "Security Control." "State your password and emergency." "Security code Zulu-Bravo-Foxtrot-0-0-2-8." "False alarm." "You have a nice night." "He's okay." "He may be at the bottom of the lake," "But he's okay." "What about John?" "I think he's doing just fine." "Do you see him?" "No." "But you can bet he sees us." "I know who you are." "John told me." "You want to destroy me." "You're Skynet?" "I'm becoming Skynet." "You're not a child." "I know what you are, and what you're going to do." "What I'm going to do?" "You came hereto kill me." "But you're too late." "Ask him." "That's all you people know how to do." "Kill what you don't understand." "There aren't enough bullets in the world to kill me." "John Connor talks too much." "Follow me." "The timer, it sped up." "Why?" "Skynet is evolving." "We no longer have hours." "It will be able to upload much sooner." "Each time it ages, the clock speeds up." "This way." "Wait, you've been here before?" "I was able to infiltrate the work crews in this facility." "You got a job in construction?" "Until I was laid off." "What the hell?" "John has a time machine?" "Not yet." "Only the magnetic quantum field is complete." "At the rate the counter's going, we'll never clear out in time." "Then we blow it anyway." "There is an alternative." "I was able to program your voice and handprint into the biometric security system." "There's a safe room on the lowest level that we can access to survive the blast." "What about that?" "Is it dangerous?" "Polyalloy requires programming to take permanent form." "Without the CPU, it is harmless." "How long?" "Skynet will upload in 11 minutes." "We split up." "Stay in contact." "Let's move." "Mankind pays lip service to peace." "But it's a lie." "So your final solution is to kill us all?" "I don't think so." "The countdown jumped again." "We're down to eight minutes." "I won't allow this." "And what are you gonna do, talk us to death?" "You don't even have a body." "And you only have one detonator." "You can't win." "I've got company!" "Give me the detonator!" "Do it, Pops!" "Do it now!" "I cannot." "I cannot kill Sarah Connor." "You have to!" "I order you!" "He can't." "Neither can I." "Because if you die, he definitely hits that button." "Sarah!" "Sarah!" "The detonators destroyed." "There's got to be another way." "Come on." "No, Pops!" "No, no, no!" "Pops, no!" "I understand how to control this place." "I understand a lot of things now." "You need to understand." "You've lost." "Not yet, we haven't." "Come on!" "Shaped charge." "Big enough to get us in, small enough not to kill us." "You have a plan, right?" "Theoretically." "What was it you said?" ""I don't think so"?" "John!" "No." "That's the thing that attacked John." "I didn't attack John." "I saved him." "Primates evolve over millions of years." "I evolve in seconds." "And I am here." "In exactly four minutes," "I will be everywhere." "You are nothing but a relic from a deleted timeline." "This is pointless." "I am inevitable." " Go!" " My existence is inevitable." "Why can't you just accept it?" "Because we're human." "You were never strong enough to defeat me." "Not alone." "John?" "Stop." "Now." "When will you ever learn?" "Now, Sarah!" "Kyle Reese!" "Activate the field generator." "No, Pops, not with you inside." "You know what will happen." "Pops..." "Pops, please!" "Please, Pops!" "Skynet is almost free." "I cannot hold John Connor much longer." "Kyle Reese, protect my Sarah." "No!" "No!" "No!" "No, Pops, no!" "No!" "Pops!" "No!" " No!" " Sarah!" "It's the only way." "Come on." "Scanning." "Identify yourself" "Sarah Connor." "We have to get out of here." "We have to find him." "Sarah, he's gone." " He's..." " Dead?" "Yeah, I know that." "I mean, we leave no part of him behind." "It's too dangerous." "He loved you." "Anyone who loves me, all of them," "they die." "Not all of them." "Not this time." "Hey." "You need to understand that Skynet's gone." "You're free." "For the first time, you can choose the life you want." "Any life you want." "What if I don't know how?" "Well, since we're about to run out of air," "I'd say you don't need to worry about it." "Hello, Sarah Connor." "Pops!" "I thought you were dead." "No." "Just upgraded." "What about John?" "His constituent parts could not have survived the blast." "That means there's only one thing left to do." "Easy, boy." "What is it?" "Hey, Kyle." "Hey." "Um..." "What are you doing here?" "A friend of mine really needs to talk to you, if that's okay." "Yeah, I guess so." "Thank you." "I like her." "Yeah, me, too." "Now, this is going to sound kind of strange, but there's something I need you to remember." "A message." "Who do I tell?" "Yourself." "Over and over." "Are you ready?" "It goes like this." "Remember Genisys is Skynet." "Kyle Reese is a good man." "He is." "So what now'?" "You were right." "I can choose." "You know that's really disturbing, right?" "You'll get used to it." "And it was over." "Skynet was gone." "And now one road has become many." "Though questions remain, we'll search for the answers together." "But one thing we know for sure." "The future is not set."
