revolutionary type of microprocessor.
Go on. Then what?
In three years Cyberdyne will become
the largest supplier...
of military computer systems.
All Stealth bombers are upgraded
with Cyberdyne computers...
becoming fully unmanned.
Afterwards they fly with
a perfect operational record.
The Skynet funding bill is passed.
The system goes on-line
on August 4, 1997.
Human decisions are removed
from strategic defense.
Skynet begins to learn
at a geometric rate.
It becomes self-aware
at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29.
In a panic,
they try to pull the plug.
- Skynet fights back.
- Yes.
It launches its missiles
against the targets in Russia.
Why attack Russia?
Aren't they our friends now?
Because Skynet knows
that the Russian counterattack...
will eliminate its enemies
over here.
Jesus.
How much do you know
about Dyson?
I have detailed files.
I want to know everything.
What he looks like,
where he lives, everything.
Wait in the car.
You're pretty jumpy, Connor.
Hey, big John.
What's up?
He's cool, Enrique.
He's with me.
He's... Uncle Bob.
Uncle Bob, this is Enrique.
Uncle Bob, huh?
Okay.
Drink?
" Uncle Bob"?
You're pretty famous,
all over the goddamn TV.
Pictures of you, John,
your big friend here.
Cops are going nuts
looking for you.
I just came for my stuff.
I need clothes, food and a truck.
How about the fillings in my teeth?
Now, Enrique.
You two,
you're on weapons detail.
Let's go.
One thing about my mom...
she always plans ahead.
Excellent.
This is my best truck,
but the starter motor's gone.
You got time to change it out?
Yeah. I'm gonna wait 'til dark
to cross the border.
I grew up in places like this...
so I thought
that's how people lived...
riding around in helicopters,
learning how to blow shit up.
That's definitely you.
Most of the guys my mom
hung around with were geeks...
but there was this one guy,
he was kinda cool.
He taught me engines.
Hold here.
Mom screwed it up, of course.
She'd always tell 'em
aboutJudgment Day...
and me being this world leader.
That'd be all she wrote.
Torque wrench, please.
Here.
I wish I could've met
my real dad.
You will.
Yeah, I guess.
When I'm, like, 45, I think.
They sent him back through time
to 1984.
Man.
He hasn't even been born yet.
It messes with your head.
- The other bolt.
- Oh. Here.
Mom and him were only together
for one night.
She still loves him, I guess.
I see her crying sometimes.
She denies it totally, of course,
like she got something stuck in her eye.
Why do you cry?
- You mean people?
- Yeah.
I don't know.
We just cry...
you know, when it hurts.
Pain causes it?
No. It's different.
It's when there's nothing wrong
with you, but you hurt anyway.
- You get it?
- No.
All right, my man!
Give me five.
Just put out your hand
like this.
All right! Now hit me.
Give me five. Do the same thing.
Okay, that's good.
Up high.
Five low.
Too slow.
I'm just kidding.
One more time.
Good. Now try it.
Now do me.
Give me five.
WatchingJohn with the machine,
it was suddenly so clear.
The Terminator would never stop.
It would never leave him,
never hurt him...
never shout at him
or get drunk and hit him...
or be too busy
to spend time with him.
It would always be there...
and it would die
to protect him.
Of all the would-be fathers
who came and went over the years...
this thing, this machine...
was the only one
who measured up.
In an insane world...
it was the sanest choice.
Hey, let's try this one.
There we go.
She said go south with him
like you planned.
- She'll meet you tomorrow.
- Mom!
Mom, wait!
" No fate."
No fate but what we make.
My father told her this.
I made him memorize it in the future
as a message to her.
Never mind.
Okay, the whole thing goes...
The future's not set.
There's no fate but what
we make for ourselves.
She intends to change the future.
Yeah, I guess.
Oh, shit!
- Dyson.
- Yeah.
Gotta be. Miles Dyson.
