So take your wife.
Get as far away from here as you can.
Forget me.
Forget John.
Just go.
It's not safe here.
You know we always thought we'd raise kids in this house.
You just can't plan for anything now.
For the road.
Did you get me that soda, babe? I've only been wanting a TV in here for like a hundred years.
Or maybe 200.
That long? Well, a while.
Ex-baby daddy wouldn't have one in the bedroom.
Look at where that got me.
Well, that, six beers, and the rhythm method.
- Too much information? - Yeah, a bit.
Do I need to call the cable guy? I feel like I'm not even wired in here.
There you are now.
But I wouldn't mention it to anybody.
Especially the cable guy.
Clever boy.

The low budget film nobody saw, when it was released direct-to-video two years ago, has earned $6 million and newfound star status.
When it's star, George Lazlo, inexplicably killed 20 members of an FBI hostage rescue team in a shootout at his Reseda apartment.
The massacre you may recall, also took the actor's life.
A friend of mine from culinary school, did craft services on that movie.
She liked the guy.
He ate with the crew.

The east by southeast section of the house is moving.
- Really? Where's it going? - Down.
At a rate of 0.
93 millimeters per year.
And what? Does that affect the security system, or sightlines for the night scope? How does this affect the safety of one John Connor? It doesn't.
But next summer we're going to have to repaint.
Did you get Kacy's TV set up? I hope you didn't steal cable for her.
Nobody that pregnant should be forced to watch network television.
- It's bad for the baby.

I know they grow up.

In 1897, James Atkinson invented the mousetrap.
Its spring slams shut in 38 thousands of a second.
It is a record that has never been beaten.
It is hard to build a better one.

Across the desert.
We need a car.
We need to get to John.
Oh, God.
How bad is it? I can't tell.
I can't tell if the shrapnel knicked an artery or something She could be bleeding out, inside, I don't know.
- We have to go.
- Go? Go how? On foot.
No way, Sarah.
I'm not moving her.
And I'm not making her walk.
I'll send someone back for you as soon as I can.
I can walk.
No one has to wait on me.
So You know who I am.
You know what happened.
George Lazlo was a shooter.
George Lazlo is dead.
It's all in the report.
And yet here you are.
Five years ago, a small commuter jet went down in the Eastern Sierras.
On its way from Sacramento to Portland.
My brother was on the NTSB team that investigated the accident.
He found these.
And brought them to me.
My late husband and I have spent three years and $20 million, trying to reverse engineer this technology.
We've not been successful.
Yet.
Red valley, new Mexico.
Eight years ago.
with some kind of robot leg, try to kill a boy later identified as John Connor.
Son of Sarah Connor.
It was your case.
She believed robots were after her son.
I know what she believed, Ms.
Weaver.
You know what really killed those agents.
You did not even pretend to ask me what those were.
What do you want from me? I want what you want, Mr.
Ellison.
I want answers.
But more than that, I want you to help me find another one.
Where's John? Get out.
Out! Sarah, slow down! She's bleeding out.
I need to get pressure on it, Sarah.
Damn you, Charley.
I told you to stay away.
Sarah, you've gotta stop now, please! - You should have stayed away.
- I'm here now and she's here now.
You've got to stop.
Now! Little help? - I don't swim.
- Yeah, I just figured that out.
Mom, I'm good.
Let's go.
We do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly, we are being renewed Day-by-day.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory, that far outweighs them all.
We know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.
For God who's given us the Spirit as a guarantee, and as long as we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.
We walk by faith, not by sight.
And so we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary.
What is unseen eternal.
