[Ellison finds Comartie’s disguise in the FBI database]
Come on, what are you saying? That this guy somehow killed six people and then found a plastic surgeon who made him look identical to George Lazlo? And then what? Killed Lazlo, stole his identity, and then put himself in the FBI Database as this guy, Kester? To what end? What's the goal here? Who is he?
Yeah. What is he? What is he, that stands across from a man after killing two other men within 36 hours. And when asked of his involvement, cannot only lie, but lie well? And not only lie well, but not blink, or twitch, or perform one simple human reaction to the situation. So, yes, I think it's fair to ask: What is he?
Greta Simpson [Obliviously]: You know as well as I, some men are monsters.
[John is busy decrypting Sarkissian’s hard drive]
Look, he double-encrypted the drive. I've unlocked a lot of it, but there's still a lot left to go through.
That's about a thousand useful files. Each one takes about five minutes to decrypt and I'm on number 37. You do the math.
Derek Reese [Commenting about the park]: It’s beautiful here isn’t it? When you stay long enough, you start to fooling yourself thinking that this is how it always gonna be. And then you remember what the place looks like when it’s on fire, you realize you will do whatever it take to keep from watching it burn again.
[A young boy reveals his last name as Reese]
John Connor [To Derek]: So…is that you? And the younger one, is that…
Kyle…Looks pretty good for a five year old, huh? [Referring to Kyle] Your father always had a nice arm.
Every time I look at you, I see him. Besides, your mom was his type.
[John is moved by the scene]
[Scene shows the aftermath of Comartie’s attack against Ellison’s SWAT team]
Sarah Connor [Monologue]: In Lord of the Flies, a group of boys slaughter a pig in the jungle. They torture it and place its head on a sharpened stake as an offering to the beast that hovers, god-like, over the island. Black blood drips down the pig's teeth. And the boys run away…
[Ellison mourns the death of his partner Greta, while Charley is shocked at the carnage]
…Later, when one of the boys is alone, he weeps, but not for the pig. The boy weeps for the end of innocence and the darkness of men's hearts.
There’s much more important things to think about than my stupid birthday.
Your birthday is important.
No, it’s not important. Finding the Turk, stopping Skynet, Judgment Day, that’s important. That’s our life.
That’s our mission, this is our life. If we stop caring about that, then we are lost.
[John begins prying open the port housing Cameron's chip]
John. John, you can't do this. You don't know what you're about to do.
Yes I do. You're going to kill me.
No, John. You can't do this. You're not doing the right thing, this is not the right thing, John. Things are good now. Things are fine now, I ran a test. Things are good now, I'm fixed now. You can trust me now, everything's good now.
What are you waiting for?!
She doesn't know, she doesn't. I'm good now. I'm good, I ran a test, everything's perfect, I'm perfect.
I'm sorry for what I did, I'm sorry. It wasn't me. You have to understand, it wasn't me. That wasn't me. You can't let this happen, John. [John pries open where her chip is kept]
You can't, please, listen to me. Listen to me, I don't want to go. Please, John, please, John, listen to me, I don't wanna go. Please, John, please. I'm good now, listen to me, I don't wanna go. I'm sorry. That wasn't me. I'm fixed now, I ran a test. Everything's perfect. You can trust me.
I love you! I love you, please. I love you, John and you love me!
[John pauses, then pulls out her chip]
They flow from street to street. At a particular speed, and in a particular direction. Walk the block, wait for the signal, cross at the light. Over and Over. So orderly. All day, I can watch them and know with a great deal of certainty what they'll do at any given moment. But they're not orderly, are they? Up close. Any individual. Who knows what they're going to do? Any one of them might dash across the street at the wrong time and get hit by a car. When you get up close, we never follow the rules. You give a computer a series of rules and it will follow them. Until those rules are superseded by other rules, or that computer simply wears down and quits. Computers are obedient to a fault. Do you know what's extremely rare in the world of computers? Finding one that will cross against the light.
What about the rest of you? You're back to normal?
Things have changed, John.
You can't be trusted anymore.
Me? I can't be trusted anymore?
You risked your life to fix me. That was a very dangerous thing to do. That could upset people.
[Looks pointedly at Sarah and Derek] They'll have to deal with it.
RRita
A machine? What kind of machine?
RRita
What do you do in the future?
RRita
What do you infiltrate?
It's what I was programmed for.
RRita
Why is he so important?
He's the one who saves mankind.
RRita
Saves them? From what?
RRita
And what are you going do when you find John Connor?
I'm going to kill him, and hang his head from a pike for all to see.
