Scenes with Derek Reese 25
[Derek and John are waiting in a Jeep]
Derek Reese Remind me again, why are the boys out here and the girls in there?
Because one of the boys is still wanted for murder, and one of the girls is harder than nuclear nails...
Derek Reese And the other one's a cyborg.
...
...Moore's Law, the guy who founded Intel said that every two years, the number of transistors on a computer chip doubles. 30 years ago, it was an observation, now it's a law. Tech industry spent billions doubling chip power.
Derek Reese And?
And that's how we can go from a chess computer to the apocalypse in just four years...A lot can happen in four years.
Derek Reese A lot can happen in four seconds. One minute I’m in the yard with my brother playing baseball, then next we look up and the sky's on fire.
Judgment Day…what did you do?
Derek Reese Only thing to do, took Kyle, went into the ground...
John Connor [Referring to Kyle] : What was he like?
Derek Reese He was just a kid, eight-years-old, I was 15. How do you tell an eight-year-old that machines have taken over the world?
Derek Reese You don't.
Derek Reese You can't just give a briefcase full of money to a guy like that and expect he's just gonna hand over the Turk.
Derek Reese [About the diamonds] : Well, those are from the safe house I set up, so, technically, they're mine.
Well, I'm guessing you stole them, so, technically, they're evidence in a felony.
Derek Reese I love these places.
Derek Reese On the first day after me and the guys jumped through, we went to the Century City mall and we spent the whole day there. We all puked. You know, the funny thing is, in the future, that place is a concentration camp.
S Sarkissian
If I was gonna sell you the Turk, you'd have had it by now. So this is my counter offer, the money you were gonna pay me for the Turk, you take that number and you multiply it by four.
S Sarkissian
You're a fugitive, Ms. Connor, might make that a small price for freedom.
[Derek grabs him and throws him against the wall]
Derek Reese Here's my counter offer. You tell us where the Turk is, we keep our money, and I bury you in the back yard.
[A young boy reveals his last name as Reese]
John Connor [To Derek] : So…is that you? And the younger one, is that…
Derek Reese Kyle…Looks pretty good for a five year old, huh? [Referring to Kyle] Your father always had a nice arm.
Derek Reese Every time I look at you, I see him. Besides, your mom was his type.
[John is moved by the scene]
Derek Reese Happy birthday .
He doesn't have a choice?
Derek Reese He's got a choice. We've gotta help him make the right one.
[Speaking of a terminator she has recently killed] This model has been redesigned.
Derek Reese With a self-destruct feature?
Skynet must not want me reprogramming in the future.
This is one way to stop you.
Well, I guess they're getting smarter. We should too.
I'm looking for John Baum. Where is he?
P Policeman (Chief)
Yo no se.
Derek Reese We've got to get out of here.
Derek Reese We're no good to him dead.
I can't let anything happen to him.
[Derek watches Cameron walk away.]
She hasn't looked at her father's picture since we've been here. Not once. Neither has her mother.
Derek Reese Yeah, and?
If you had a photo of Kyle Reese, you'd look at it, wouldn't you? Maybe there's something I don't understand.
Derek Reese That's a big leap.
Let me repeat what she said. If you had a photo of your brother, would you or would you not look at it?
Derek Reese He's not dead.
We should find him before he is.
What do they think of me? In the future, what do people think?
Derek Reese If you're asking if people agree with everything you do, of course not. If you're asking if everybody loves you. Love's a lot to ask for. You can't do what you do and expect everybody to agree or to love you.
Derek Reese You lead.
Derek Reese We follow. We rise or fall on your shoulders. Humanity rises or falls, but we're always watching.
For me to make a mistake?
Derek Reese For you to be human.
Derek Reese Have you been into my plastique?
Derek Reese I can handle the rest myself.
Sarah sent both of us here.
Derek Reese Yeah. To get John away from you.
Or from you. [Reaches to grab a jacket on a shelf, only to have Derek stop her]
Derek Reese Don't touch this.
We're supposed to get everything.
Derek Reese I've got this.
That jacket belongs to Jesse.
Derek Reese Don't talk about her, okay? You don't know anything about her.
I know that you loved her. You wouldn't have fathered a child with her if you didn't. I'm sorry for your loss.
Derek Reese What?
Derek Reese What loss?
The child you fathered with Jesse. The one she was carrying aboard the USS Jimmy Carter. The one that died.
Derek Reese [Slams Cameron against the wall and points a gun at her head] I never had a kid.
Derek Reese I can try. Tell me what you're talking about.
She was pregnant. She miscarried.
Derek Reese Why did you tell me that now?
You put John in danger when you lied about Jesse. Sarah nearly lost her child. You've lost a child. You won't make that mistake again.
Derek Reese You knew her.
Derek Reese She never told me that.
It seems she never told you a lot of things.
[Uncovers Derek's eyes and frees him from the chair to which he is bound. Derek looks at her incredulously] You're welcome.
Derek Reese Why did you come after me?
You know the location of the safe house. John's location. If they tortured you --
Derek Reese That would never happen.
F Fuller
Don't move! Because I will blast you!
Derek Reese Stand down. Look in his eyes. He's got about as much metal in him as you do.
Derek Reese Yeah?
Derek Reese I know a lot of people, kid. Don't know you. Anybody heard the name John Connor? Well, you know what? I think you're going to be famous. My brother's back and you're wearing his coat.
[Turns to see Kyle Reese walking toward him, and behind Reese is Allison Young with a German Shepherd. No one recognizes him.]
[Through one last time spark] I love you, too.
