Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles S01E09 Previously, on Terminator: the Sarah Connor chronicles I need three sets of papers.
discount in these hard times.
Especially for someone who's been dead eight years.
Your fiancée killed a man because she believes that in the future he'll invent a computer system that declares war on the world.
Skynet robots from the future.
And you're one of them.
Yes.
I'm that.
These things, all of them are programmed with specific missions.
Don't let that thing touch me.
We have to stop you bleeding! Get away from me! You don't even know who this guy is! He's your uncle.
He doesn't know.
My turk could defeat every human player that has ever lived and probably ever will live.
You talk about it like it's human.
Well, you never know.
What about the turk? I was paid money for it.
That's all I have.
Sarkissian returned my call.
He'll meet about selling the turk.
April 21, 2011 Judgment day When John was little, he used to sleep with his hand under my chin.
At night, I lay awake watching him.
Calm, peaceful, happy.
I wanted to freeze time and let my son live in that moment forever.
But you can't freeze time.
You can't protect your children from the future that awaits them.
Batting's hard, Derek.
You're doing great, Kyle.
Just remember how I showed you.
Stay on top of the ball.
??? And then Yes! Finally! It's gone.
Fireworks! ?? ? ? ? ? He's a very hot-headed man.
I learned Armenian.
Armenian.
The guy we're meeting with, his name's Sarkissian.
That's Armenian.
Well, we're not here to charm him.
We're here to get the turk and get out, simple.
He said we should meet him at table 19.
Excuse me, I think we have some business to take care of.
Oh, of course.
Sorry.
Table 19.
It's right there.
Keep the change.
Remind me again.
Why--why are the boys out here and the girls in there? Because one of the boys is still wanted for murder, and one of the girls is harder than nuclear nails.
And the other one's a cyborg.
You wanna know why we're really here? Why? Moore's law.
Moore's law.
The guy who founded Intel said that every two years, the number of transistors on a computer chip doubles.
Now it's a law.
Tech industry spent billions doubling chip power.
And? And that's how we can go from a chess computer to the apocalypse in just four years.
I learned that a lot can happen in four years.
A lot can happen in four seconds.
One minute, I'm in the yard with my brother, playing baseball, and the next, we look up, and the sky's on fire.
Judgment day.
What'd you do? The only thing to do: took Kyle and went underground.
What was he like? He was just a kid when it happened.
Eight years old.
I was 15.
How do you tell an eight-year-old machines have taken over the world? How do you? You don't.
Maybe he's at another table.
I understand you're interested in buying the turk.
Yes Tomorrow 2.
pm next to the ATM.
Nice doing business with you.
We don't have $500,000.
Not yet.
?? ? ? ? ? ? It's been a long time since we spoke.
So, what, eight years? Mm, I see you're a man of faith.
Oh, no, my wife's a catholic.
It's her mother's.
Do you know the story on the rapture, Mr.
Dixon? Like I said, my wife.
Hmm.
'and I heard, as it were, 'the noise of thunder.
'and I heard the voice of the fourth beast say,'come and see'.
'and I looked.
'and behold, a pale horse.
'and his name that sat on him was death.
'And hell followed with him.
' The book of revelation.
What is this? I've seen some things, Mr.
Dixon.
I've seen some things with my own eyes, and heard 'em with my own ears.
I've beheld.
And upon my beholding, I've come to the conclusion, while new to me, might be old hat for you.
What the hell are you talkin' about? Sarah Connor's alive.
And I think you know where she is.
You're crazy.
If Sarah is alive, and I believe she is, we are working in the realm where much, perhaps anything, is possible.
Robots Soldiers from the future, Skynet.
If Sarah were alive, I'm sure she'd like to hear you say that.
Co on, tell me what you know.
I'm gonna tell you What I told the other guy.
I don't know anything.
The other guy? The other agent you guys sent here.
Kester.
Kester? Ooh! Can I help you with something Bro? That is a nice sword.
Hey You don't touch that.
Family heirloom? None of your business.
You're right.
But this is my business.
Shh, shh, shh.
Do you know this woman? I never seen her before in my life.
Well, I'll help you out.
Her name's Sarah Connor.
I know that, because I read her FBI file.
I told you.
I don't know her.
Well, that's Very interesting.
Because your uncle Enrique knew her.
He knew her pretty well, in fact.
And you know what? He's in that file too.
As one of the last known associates and an FBI informant You know what I think? I think she went to him looking for identification.
And I think he sent her to you.
And I think, after she got what she wanted, she went back to Enrique.
And I think she killed him.
And now I have something she wants.
So where is she? 'Los Ninos Heroes.
' They were the six military cadets that died defending Chapultepec castle.
Bright boys.
Now, my friend how brave a boy are you? I'll handle this.
What are you doing here? I need to talk to you.
Go home.
Agent Ellison came into my house.
And you turn around and come to mine? I know, it's okay.
This is gonna be hard for you to imagine, but I think he's ready to believe you.
Believe me? Charlie, this isn't about believing me.
If he believes you, he can protect you.
Do you remember what you saw here? What we destroyed? Who destroyed it? The FBI can't protect us.
You can't protect us.
If one of them follows you here, not the FBI One of them He'll have killed us.
So take your wife.
Get as far away from here as you can.
Forget me.
?? ? ? ? Bright yellow tint.
Grade M.
'Slightly included.
Shallow cut.
You can't just give a briefcase full of money to a guy like that and expect he's just gonna and over the turk.
Actually, I can.
Well, those are from the safe house I set up, so, technically, they're mine.
Well, I'm guessing you stole them, so technically, they're evidence in a felony.
What are we up to? Current estimated value, $246,000.
You don't even have enough.
We'll negotiate.
We don't even know what this guy looks like.
We know what the turk looks like.
I love these places.
Food courts? First day after me and the guys jumped through, we went to the Century City mall and we spent the whole day there.
We all puked.
You know, the funny thing, in the future, that place is a concentration camp.
Is that it? Where is he? Son of a bitch stood us up again.
We have to go.
We came here for the turk.
We can't get it if we're in prison.
Sarah Connor.
So nice to finally meet you.
You know, a woman She calls my cell phone.
She says she's interesting in buying this Very special computer.
Now, what do you do? You just turn around and you just sell it? Or, maybe You're very beautiful.
For a dead woman.
Just let us pay you for the computer, and you'll never hear from us again.
If I was gonna sell you the turk, you'd have had it by now.
So this is my counter offer.
The money you was gonna pay me for the turk, you take that number and you multiply it by four.
$2 million? You're a fugitive, Ms.
Connor.
Might make that a small price for freedom.
Here's my counter offer.
You tell us where the turk is, we keep our money, and I bury you in the back yard.
Will you listen to me? If I don't walk out of here in ten minutes, my people are instructed to call the FBI and tell them everything I know.
Your people? Yeah.
My people.
Same people who are watching your son.
He's on a field trip, isn't he? With his class? Science museum, I believe.
Your people have no idea what they're walking into.
Derek.
How long do we have to get the money? You got 24 hours.
Follow him.
You haven't spoken for 28 minutes.
Well, it's nothing.
All right.
My birthday's tomorrow.
Okay? I know that mom totally forgot.
Birthday? Hey, you don't know what a birthday is? It's the day you were born.
Pretty memorable for a mother, right? But it was 16 years ago.
No, a birthday's like a holiday.
Like once a year, every year, people just kind of celebrate you, I guess.
And you get presents and you eat cake and It's fun.
It's supposed to be.
Last year, mom got me a flak jacket.
That's a tight present.
No.
It's not.
Whatever Look, I don't know why I care.
I've been driving since I was 12 and technically, this is my 24th birthday.
It's just I time-traveled over eight of them.
Do I have a birthday? I don't know.
Were you born? I was built.
Well, then, maybe you have like a build day.
Hey, Cameron, listen to this.
Hey, what do you have on there, man? Hatful of hollow, man.
Just downloaded it this morning.
Dude, you gotta be kidding me.
Cameron.
Stay with the group, please.
Sorry.
Hey, Cameron.
There you are.
Your brother's been looking for you.
Oh, wow.
Is this your car? No, it belongs to the guy I killed and stuffed in the trunk.
Hey! Where you been? Mom says we gotta get home right now.
What's up with the car? Cameron stuffed a dead guy in the trunk.
He was following us.
Your sister's dark, bro.
You're gonna love the Smiths.
Yeah, she's, uh, she's really goth.
Get in.
Wait, Cameron.
Hey, um There's something I kind of need to ask you.
Um, you think maybe you might wanna go to the prom with me? Just say yes! Yes! Hey, Karen.
Can you run a name for me? I thought you knew everybody around here.
Who you looking for? Guy's name is Kester.
He's an agent.
Uh, it doesn't ring a bell.
Give me a sec.
There we go.
This the guy? We've been so swamped lately, it's all I can do to keep this place organized.
What file did you need? File number 100-655371.
The Sarah Connor case.
Looks like it's checked out, my friend.
To agent Ellison.
James Ellison? One and only.
Thank you for your time.
Oh, hold the elevator.
He was a threat to us.
Did he say anything? A name, a location? He said very little.
And then he was quiet.
I lost Sarkissian at the Cahuenga pass.
Damn it.
We have to find him.
We have to get out of this house.
No, we're not moving.
- He knows where we live, John.
- I don't care.
We're not running, not today.
This house has a bull's-eye painued on the front door.
Do your thing.
Hello? Are you still watching those kids? I got my eye on them right now.
I think they have someone following me.
No more games.
Bring them back here.
Here? Where's here? Okay, so he's expecting this guy to show up there any minute.
And when he doesn't, the first place he's gonna come is here.
Mom We can't stay here, John.
Not while he's out there.
It's too risky.
I'm sorry.
Wait here.
Where is he? Who? Uhh! He.
Need I repeat? John, go check the office.
See if he stashed the turk in there.
Can you get through the door? Yes.
But the wall would be much faster.
What are you doing here? Waiting for my daddy to finish work.
Okay, listen.
I need you to stay in this room with the door closed, okay? Even if you hear loud noises or you get scared, you need to stay in here.
Can you do that for me? Yeah.
Yeah? Okay.
Let him go.
Not my kid.
Not mine either.
Are you okay? John Let's go back inside.
Is that your daddy out there in the alley? No.
My daddy went to the café.
You know how to get back there from here? You go find your daddy.
Don't look back, just go.
Sarkissian's hard drive.
Do I need to kill you now? Kester.
Yeah, that's what he likes to call himself when he's out trick-or-treating in his FBI costume.
George Lazlo's a better actor than we thought.
That's not Lazlo.
James, are we looking at the same picture here? This is your guy.
It's Lazlo.
The blood doesn't match.
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? What is he? What 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? You know as well as I some men are monsters.
Yeah.
Monsters.
Let's go get him.
Mom Sorry.
Look, he double-encrypted the drive.
I've unlocked a lot of it, but there's still a lot left to go through.
How much? That's about 1,000 useful files.
Each one takes about five minutes to decrypt.
And I'm on number 37.
You do the math.
Let me know when you have something.
How are you holding up? I'm all right.
So it's your birtheay.
Yeah, how'd you know? You kidding? I celebrated your 30th with you.
How was that? You got drunk as a skunk.
Come on.
I'll buy you a beer.
I'm 16.
All right, I'll buy you an ice cream cone.
Come on.
It's your birthday.
When there are things to celebrate, they should be celebrated.
Let's go.
Your mom has never killed anyone, has she? You know, she's got murder in her eyes all the time, but her heart's pure.
It's a good thing, you know.
Keep a-- keep a pure heart.
It's beautiful here, isn't it? You know, you stay long enough, you start fooling yourself into thinking that this is How it's always gonna be.
And you remember what this place'll look like when it's on fire, and you realize you'll do whatever it takes to keep from watching it burn again.
Is that you? And the younger one, is that Kyle.
Throws pretty good for a five-year-old, huh? Your father always had a nice arm.
How'd you know? Every time I look at you, I see him.
Besides, your mom's his type.
FBI raid in North Hollywood.
Suspect considered armed and extremely dangerous.
May be posing as an FBI agent.
Last name Kester.
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, above the island.
Black blood drips down the pig's teeth.
And the boys run away.
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.
Have you seen Derek? No.
He's, uh, still at the park, I think.
And what were you two doing? Nothing.
Uh, we just went to get an ice cream.
Here.
Check these out.
Looks like you weren't the only one looking for the turk.
Who's this? I'm not sure.
But he came in after Dimitri and before you.
Enough time for sarkissian to sell him the turk.
It's not much to go on, but it's something.
Why don't you take a break? No, no, it's all right.
I can keep going.
How are we supposed to celebrate your birthday if you're sitting in front of a computer? You actually thought I forgot your birthday? It's just we have 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 That's our life.
It's our mission.
This is our life.
If we stop caring about that, then we're lost.
Well, when you put it like that I sent Cameron to get a cake.
What do you want for dinner? Well, not to insult your cooking or anything, but do you mind if we went out? Yeah, we can do that.
All right, let me shut this down.
What? What's the matter? The guy that Derek killed in the alley.
Sarkissian.
I don't think that was Sarkissian.
