prophecy.
Not when one can rewrite
the future in a heartbeat.
Are we on the same page?
Yeah, we're on the same page.
Good. Good.
So, soldier...
what the hell are you doing here?
- What did we find down there?
- You'll be briefed...
- on a need-to-know basis.
- Well, I need to know.
Because my men
died down in that hole.
What did we find down there?
We found a solution, Connor, that
can end this war once and for all.
We know the machines use shortwave
transmitters to communicate.
Intel has located a hidden
signal under the primary channel.
It allows for direct
control of the machines.
Skynet's a machine,
and like all machines...
it has an off switch.
Does it work?
Will it work? Yes. Have
we field tested it? No.
Give it to me.
I'll do it.
I'll test it.
Connor and his tech-comm
unit have an excellent record.
All right.
All right. Huh.
Take, Connor topside.
Prepare for lockout.
Connor, we do this
right, the war is over.
We mount our offensive in four days.
Connor.
These are the codes for the signal.
- Good luck.
- Why four days?
A kill list was
intercepted from, Skynet.
It says everyone in this room
will be dead by week's end.
You're number two on the list.
- Well, who's number one?
- An unknown. A civilian. Kyle Reese.
Jericho. come in.
Come in, Jericho.
Barnes.
My brother, he didn't make it, did he?
This is tape number 28 of
Sarah Connor to my son, John.
What's most difficult for
me is trying to decide...
what to tell you and what not to.
Should I tell you about your father?
Will it affect your decision to
send him back in time to protect me...
knowing that he is your father?
And he'll be younger than you.
Only a teenager when you meet him.
God, a person could go
crazy thinking about this.
But if you don't send
Kyle, you can never be...
and Skynet will win the war.
You want to talk about him?
Kyle is out there somewhere
alone, and Skynet is hunting him.
What about the signal?
What do you think?
- If it works, it's incredible.
- Yeah.
- We have to be careful.
- I agree.
- But we have to try.
- Okay.
All right, start with something
small that we're familiar with.
We should capture a Hydrobot,
bring it in for testing.
Yeah.
What is it, John?
Kill Kyle Reese, reset the future...
No, John Connor.
Hey!
Come with me if you wanna live.
What is that?
She doesn't talk, but you need to start.
Where'd you get that jacket?
- The other guy didn't need it.
- Oh?
You see that red?
It stands for blood. It's
a symbol of the Resistance.
You're obviously not a Resistance
fighter, so take it off.
Take it off!
You point a gun at someone...
you'd better be ready
to pull the trigger.
Now, I'm gonna ask you one more time.
- What the hell was that thing?
- Terminator.
T-600.
What day is it?
What year?
2018.
What happened here?
Judgement Day happened.
I gotta get out of here.
You can't go on foot. The
machines will cut you down.
You need speed.
I need a car.
Well, look, there's some
by Griffith Observatory.
- They don't run though.
- Take me.
Get down!
That was a Hunter-Killer.
Thanks to you, they know we're here.
What's your name, kid?
Kyle Reese.
Come on.
We burned out his transmitter so
it can't talk to any of its pals.
But he can still receive.
Turn it on.
You got it?
Hold it down, hold it down.
Turn the signal up.
Give me the strap.
- Holy shit.
- Do you believe it?
- All right. Strap it tight.
- The signal has to be continuous.
If there's any interruption...
Okay.
Let's rig up a portable shortwave, test
it on something larger in the field.
All right.
Destroy this thing.
So where are the cars?
You don't wanna go out after dark.
Hunter-Killers have infrared,
hunt better at night.
We'll all go tomorrow morning.
- What is that?
- Two-day-old coyote.
Better than
three-day-old coyote.
Hey, hey!
Shhh.
- Grab it.
- What?
Grab it.
Magic.
- Got it?
- Yeah.
Thanks.
Does this radio work?
No.
My dad
