Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series (2009) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
BLAIR: It's easy to feel alone in this world.
We've all lost friends, family.
We have no homes, no life.
Truth is, it's easier on your own.
Without connection, without loss.
But sometimes, we don 't have a choice.
Sometimes we have to fight together.
Command, this is Williams.
Ghost acquired.
We are heading south under heavy fire.
COMMAND [OVER RADIO.]
: Say again.
You have Ghost? BLAIR: Affirmative.
- Have you eliminated it? - Negative.
Ghost is human.
Go, go, go.
Command, repeat.
Too hot [STATIC CRACKLES OVER RADIO.]
Lot 18.
Say again.
Command! Say again! LAZ: We good? - Not even close.
LAZ: What? BLAIR: There's a tunnel up ahead.
Get us there.
BLAIR: You okay? - You care? BLAIR: I'd rather have you walking.
It'd be harder to drag you in.
- I'm alive.
- No.
You're a dead man.
That doesn't happen.
They don't waste assets like that.
Looks like Skynet and the Resistance found something to agree on.
LAZ: Told you they're the same thing.
BLAIR: No, you.
- Me? They both want you dead.
Command, this is Williams.
Do you copy? Command, Williams.
Copy.
Command, Williams.
Copy.
Left you for dead, didn't they? They switched to a secure frequency.
We have to head northeast.
There's an outpost.
LAZ: Can you slow down? We're gonna get killed.
You have to be an idiot to move at night.
Do you hear me? Are you listening? - We're gonna - Shut up.
LAZ: We have to wait for light to move.
[LAZ SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ON RADIO.]
BLAIR: Since you love talking so much start telling me how you shut those things down.
LAZ: Why would I tell you anything? BLAIR: I'm the difference between you seeing our salvation one day or living the rest of your life in the hole.
You could still have a life.
We're all dead, anyway.
BLAIR: They think you're a machine.
They find out you're human, they'll think you're a collaborator.
- You say that one more time and I'Il - Don't threaten me.
It's not gonna do anything.
You had some nice little life living like a rat, but that's over.
You've got the Resistance all over you.
Skynet right behind.
You can't fight worth a damn.
So do yourself a favor and do what you're good at, talk.
LAZ [ON RADIO.]
: It's basically an RF interference attack on steroids.
Everyone's so afraid of these things.
What they should be afraid of is the network.
BLAIR: Skynet.
LAZ: The Terminators are just the guns.
Skynet is the brain.
They're always talking to each other, right? Communicating, plotting over the air.
So all I do is send systematic attacks and crash their link.
Only lasts seconds.
Enough time to bail.
Skynet came from the same systems as Command, so there's overlap.
That probably explains the disruption.
BLAIR: So without the right machines, you're useless.
LAZ: Useless? Uh, no.
The attack can be triggered anywhere that can broadcast RF.
All it takes is a cryptograph key to trigger the attack.
Where is the key? LAZ: Safest place in the world.
My head.
BLAIR: Watch out.
[BOTH SCREAMING.]
BLAIR: You know where you're going? - No.
[TERMINATOR APPROACHES.]
BLAIR: Go.
Go.
Get out of - You okay? - You idiot.
I told you to run.
- l - You don't get it.
You need to live.
You have something.
Something that could change the war.
But you're wasting it.
You're wasting yourself.
COMMAND: Williams, do you copy? Copy.
This is Williams.
We've been scanning all night.
Have you eliminated Ghost? Negative.
Ghost is human.
Repeat.
Ghost is human.
Requesting evac immediately.
Negative.
No evac of Ghost.
Human.
He is human.
He deserves protection.
No evac of Ghost.
Skynet's targeting.
Too high risk.
Skynet is targeting him for a reason.
Report to southeast evac Bravo, alone.
What about Ghost? Get as far away as you can, now.
We've all lost friends, family.
We have no homes, no life.
