know he dies before the war--
Wait!
I don't want to know.
So, was it John
that sent you here?
I volunteered.
Why?
It was a chance
to meet the legend--
Sarah Connor.
Taught her son to fight,
organize...
prepare from when he was a kid.
When you were in hiding
before the war...
You're talking about things
I havent done yet...
in the past tense.
It's driving me crazy.
Are you sure
you have the right person?
I'm sure.
Come on.
Do I look like
the mother of the future?
Am I tough, organized?
I can't even
balance my checkbook.
Look, Reese,
I didn't ask for this honor...
and I don't want it!
Any of it!
Your son gave me a message
to give to you.
Made me memorize it.
Thank you, Sarah, for your
courage through the dark years.
I can't help you with
what you must soon face...
except to say that
the future is not set.
You must be stronger
than you imagine you can be.
You must survive,
or I will never exist.
Thats all.
Thats a good field dressing.
You like it?
lts my first.
Get some sleep.
It will be light soon.
Talk to me some more.
About what?
Tell me about where you're from.
All right.
You stay down by day...
but at night
you can move around.
You still have to be careful
because the HKs use infrared.
But theyre not too bright.
John taught us ways
to dust them.
Thats when the infiltrators
started to appear.
The Terminators
were the newest...
the worst.
Traversing your sector
in search mode.
750 meters north
of your position.
Understand. 750 meters north.
Lets go.
Intercept. Over.
Take it easy.
Finish your sweep.
There are scavenger teams
in that quadrant.
Avoid contact.
Repeat, avoid contact.
Well get them later.
Roger, Echo Leader.
Sector niner,
whats your status?
Situation normal.
Were coming in.
Roger.
Firebase,
whats your status? Over.
Reese. BN384.
Right. Let him in.
Any infiltrators
at the shopping mall?
No problem.
They were clean.
Were cutting short
the patrol. Over.
Roger, Yankee-1-7.
You are clear to return.
Terminator!
I was dreaming about dogs.
We use them
to spot Terminators.
Your world is pretty terrifying.
Buddy, you got a dead cat
in there, or what?
Fuck you, asshole.
God damn!
Thank you.
Is this enough?
Yeah, it's enough.
I don't want to ask
where you got it.
-I'm coming.
-We need a room.
-All right.
-With a kitchen.
Do you have one
with a kitchen?
I am dying for a shower.
We should check
your bandage, too.
Later. I'm going out
for supplies.
Keep this.
No, I can't tell you
where I am, Mom.
I was told not to say.
Honey, I need to know
where I can reach you.
You tell me to hide up at
the cabin like some fugitive...
and you won't tell me
whats going on?
I am worried sick, dear.
Heres the number. Ready?
Yes. Go ahead.
It's 408-555-1439.
Room nine. Got it?
lve got it.
Ive got to go.
I'm sorry I can't
tell you more right now.
I love you, Mom.
I love you, too, sweetheart.
-Tiki Motel.
-Give me your address.
What have we got?
Mothballs.
Corn syrup.
Ammonia.
Whats for dinner?
Plastique.
That sounds good.
What is it?
Nitroglycerin, basically.
It's a bit more stable.
I learned to make it
when I was a kid.
Make sure theres none
on the threads.
Like this.
Screw the end cap on.
Very gently.
You must have had
a fun childhood.
Thats good.
All right.
Six more like that...
and I'll get started
on the fuses.
Hell find us, won't he?
Probably.
It'll never be over, will it?
Look at me. I'm shaking.
Some legend, huh?
You must be
pretty disappointed.
No. I'm not.
The women in your time...
what are they like?
Good fighters.
Thats not what I meant.
Was there someone special?
Someone?
A girl. You know.
Never.
Never?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
So much pain.
Pain can be controlled.
You just disconnect it.
So you feel nothing?
John Connor gave me
a picture of you once.
I didn't know why at the time.
It was very old...
torn...
faded.
You were young like you are
