Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Then what? Terminator: In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. Sarah: Why him? Terminator: In a few months, he creates a revolutionary type of microprocessor. Sarah Connor: Who is that? Terminator: He's the director of special projects at Cyberdyne Systems Corporation. Terminator: The man most directly responsible is Miles Bennett Dyson. John: What the hell are you doing?!? Guard: You son of a bitch, you shot me, you crazy bastard! Don't shoot me again, don't kill me! Terminator: He'll live. Guard: Visiting hours is ten to four Monday through Friday. John: Swear? Terminator: What? John: Just put up your hand and say, 'I swear I won't kill anyone.' Terminator: I swear I will not kill anyone. Terminator: Why do we stop now? John: Now, you gotta promise me you're not gonna kill anyone, right? Terminator: Right. Thirty-five years from now, you reprogrammed me to be your protector here, in this time. John: Yeah? Who sent you? Terminator: You did. So what's the deal? Terminator: My mission is to protect you. John: Holy shit! You're really real! I mean, you're like a machine underneath, right? But sort of alive outside? Terminator: I'm a cybernetic organism.

Because if a machine can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.ĭialogue John: Now don't take this the wrong way, but you are a Terminator, right? Terminator: Yes. The luxury of hope was given me by the Terminator. Here, on the battlefield of the Senate, his weapons were common sense and hope. John fights the war differently than it was foretold. And it always will, like the traces of a dream. But the dark future which never came still exists for me. I wanted to run to through the street yelling to grab them all and say, 'Every day from this day on is a gift.

Laughed, complained, watched TV, made love. I face it for the first time with a sense of hope, because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine was the only one that measured up. It would never hurt him, never shout at him, or get drunk and hit him, or say it was too busy to spend time with him.

Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear.

It was just a question of which one of them would reach him first.

As before, the Resistance was able to send a lone warrior, a protector for John. The second was sent to strike at John himself, when he was still a child. The first Terminator was programmed to strike at me, in the year 1984, before John was born. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human Resistance, John Connor, my son. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two Terminators back through time. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the Machines. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. Three billion human lives ended on August 29, 1997.
