We were using it for research. To find out what makes them --
Don't! John, just don't. Don't make excuses her. Don't cover for her.
I'm not talking about parts. I'm talking about Riley.
Well, there's nothing to talk about, is there, because Riley's dead.
How do you think that happened?
I don't know. I'm going to figure it out, though.
You know, John. We both know.
No. Cameron didn't do it.
How can you say that? How can you be so sure?
Because I'm sure, and I know her, and she told me.
Yeah, she told you. Just like she told you she destroyed every part we ever captured. Just like she tells us what she does every night when we go to sleep. When she comes back in the morning she's covered in cuts and bruises. Just like she told you she loved you!
[Bangs his fist on the table] You don't know anything!
I had planned on waiting for you with Derek's sniper rifle. Pulled the trigger, solve about 50% of my problems. One shot. Do you know how bad I would've felt?
Not bad at all. But I know someone who would have felt bad. Someone who would have never forgiven me if I’d have done that. I don't know what to do with you. You know what the stakes are. You know why we're here. You know what this means. And yet here I stand, burning what's left of an endoskeleton I thought we'd burned months ago.
I don't care what you need, because this is not about you.
No, it’s not about me. It’s about John. You’re concerned for his safety.
Maybe. Maybe especially you.
We’re all a threat. We’re all a threat to John. He worries about us. It makes him vulnerable. He cares.
John is John’s problem. Humans are the problem. There’s only one way for him to be safe. That’s to be alone.
What kind of life is that?
You're not leaving this house.
If John needed you he would have asked for you. He didn't. You're not leaving this house.
The police could identify Riley's body at any time. I need to be with him if they do.
If they do they'll probably come here. So we should be happy he's out. Why are you here?
To protect John, hunt Skynet, stop Judgement Day.
But why are you here? Right now, with us. John sent you here from the future. He sent you away. Away from him. Maybe you should think about that. Maybe you should think about why he didn't want you around anymore.
If you pretend to not know me, I might shoot you in the head. We owe Riley the truth, don't you think? We owe the dead that much.
If she were here, you'd be dead. You know that. Could you please give me your gun? You're not going to shoot me. You know, I've been running from the machines my whole life. They tried to kill my mom before I was even born. When I was twelve they sent one after me. I was a kid and I was stupid. I didn't know what it was all about. Both times future me sent someone back to stop them. The first time it was a soldier. His name was Kyle Reese, and he died saving my mother's life. The second time it was a machine, and I used to wonder why I did that. Why I took that chance. I don't wonder anymore. Human beings can't be replaced. They can't be rebuilt. They die and they never come back. You know, it wasn't Derek who told me, if that's what you're wondering. He loves you, Derek. You and me, we're the only things he has in this world. The only things. He's like Riley in that way. See, she made mistakes. Small things, sometimes. A word or a phrase. Carrots and apples. I'm guessing that's yours. When we were in Mexico she heard my real name, she ignored it. A man took my picture and she destroyed his camera. She put herself between me and a machine that was hunting me. So one day I realized she wasn't treating me like John Baum, she was treating me like John Connor.
I don't remember exactly. It was a bad day, though. A bad day. Anyway, I started following her, and the rest was easy and hard.
I know, but she didn't. [Looking at the cuts on Jesse's face] She do that to you? See, she figured out what you really had planned. Figured it out before I did. I couldn't figure out why she would tell the school counselor, or go to DCFS. She didn't, did she? I only understood after I saw how you'd hurt her. That's when I knew what you tried to do and how it went wrong.
Yeah. Everybody says that. The thing is, this is all my fault. I knew Riley was in trouble. I didn't help her. I should have, but I didn't. I knew what she was. I didn't try to stop her.
You wanted it to be real.
You didn't want to be John Baum. You wanted to be John Connor.
That's just the thing, isn't it? I am John Connor. [Throws a packed bag at Jesse's feet] Go. Go.
Just like that. If I have to live with this, so do you.
If the cyborg had murdered the girl or if I could have made you believe that she had.
Would I have sent Cameron away? Would I have killed her? No.
Well, it's a damn shame then. It's a damn waste.
We opened the damn box. Hell came out of it. How many times do we need to go over this?
Until you give me the answer.
Not you. Take me to Connor.
No. The liquid metal thing inside the box. It came to me before we escaped, and it gave me a message for John Connor. For him, not for you.
Telling me is the same as telling John.
Dietz was right. Who the hell is running this war? What the hell are we fighting for if telling you is the same as telling Connor? You're a damned machine! You're not the same. It's not the same! Fine. To hell with you. You tell John Connor that the metal monster said the answer is no. What does that mean, huh? Hey, tell me! If the answer is no, what was the question?
That was the question. Will you join us.
What do they think of me? In the future, what do people think?
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.
We follow. We rise or fall on your shoulders. Humanity rises or falls, but we're always watching.
For me to make a mistake?
[Punches John lightly on the arm]
Bug slug? Are you serious?
We haven't played bug slug since I was like, eight. You can't just start playing without telling me.
Fine. We're playing bug slug.
What if I don't want to play?
Too late. Already started.
Are you feeling all right?
We have been on the road together for a while, that's all.
What's so great about it. [Smiles at Sarah, who returns his smile] Hey, just don't teach bug slug to Cameron. She could do some real damage.
Have you been into my plastique?
I can handle the rest myself.
Sarah sent both of us here.
Yeah. To get John away from you.
Or from you. [Reaches to grab a jacket on a shelf, only to have Derek stop her]
We're supposed to get everything.
That jacket belongs to Jesse.
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.
The child you fathered with Jesse. The one she was carrying aboard the USS Jimmy Carter. The one that died.
[Slams Cameron against the wall and points a gun at her head] I never had a kid.
I can try. Tell me what you're talking about.
She was pregnant. She miscarried.
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.
It seems she never told you a lot of things.
[John Henry's screen reads: "My God, Why hast thou forsaken me?"]
MMMatt Murch
I thought something like that might happen...
Explain Mr.Murch. Quickly.
MMMatt Murch
The on / off problem. Once it's off, no problem. But the act of turning it off...
MMMatt Murch
John Henry processes more information in a minute than we do in a lifetime. A millisecond for a supercomputer like this, it's almost like forever to us.
MMMatt Murch
It feels itself powered down and not instant. It experiences that moment the way we experience years.
It feels itself die. Slowly.
MMMatt Murch
We have to hook it up to the Net. Now.
MMMatt Murch
We're starving it. It's bad enough that we let it die for like forever. John Henry has been living off the most insane of data for weeks now. It's his world...
And we took it away... Fix it.
Wait, we should talk about this. Ms. Weaver...
In for a penny, in for a pint, James. [inserts the cord into John Henry's skull.]
JHJohn Henry
I know what it feels like, Mr. Ellison.
JHJohn Henry
To die. Then come back. To be alone.
We had to cut you off from your network. It was for your own good.
JHJohn Henry
There is another.
JHJohn Henry
One like me. Another one like me.
JHJohn Henry
The human brain is an amazing computer. Its raw clock speed is 20 billion calculations per second. Its storage is functionally infinite. But it's flawed.
JHJohn Henry
There's no way to download it when you die.
JHJohn Henry
Your Bible solves this problem by introducing a concept of Heaven.
JHJohn Henry
Billions of souls with no bodies.
JHJohn Henry
[Gesturing towards his server farm] Yet all this required simply to process the unique entity you call John Henry.
JHJohn Henry
It's possible the Heaven has a hardware problem.
JHJohn Henry
I need to know what my brother is thinking, Mr. Ellison. I need to know what he plans to do. I don't want to die again.
