Episode 106 : Dungeons & Dragons v 1.
00 Previously on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Your fiancée, Sarah Connor, killed a man because she believes that in the future, he'll invent a computer system that declares war on the world.
Andy Goode rebuilt his chess computer.
The Turk.
Somebody killed him and took the machine.
No name, but he's got this on his arm.
That's a tattoo from a Skynet work camp.
He's a resistance fighter.
- I know who you are.
- And I know who you are.
Sarah Connor.
These things; All of them are programmed with specific missions.
- We have to save him.
- You don't know him! He's your uncle.
He doesn't know.
John! He needs medical attention or he's gonna die.
John? Is it really you? He's not breathing.
On the night we first met, John's father, Kyle Reese, told me words I remember to this day.
He meant them as a warning.
I think of them as words to live by.
He told me of an apocalypse yet to come.
Like a Pandora's box, he unpacked every horror, every evil.
Every dark thing that haunts our future.
He also left me an unborn son, to whom he bequeathed what remained in the box after the nightmares fled: hope.
It nicked his left lung.
I got a fragment lodged in the soft tissue, I can get it out, but will someone tell me what is going on around here? - She's a machine! She's a liar! - Sedative, my bag! Everything she says is a lie! Don't listen to her! Don't! Don't! Don't! Get that bitch away from me! - No! Get that bitch away from me! - You heard him.
Get away from me! No! - Do you want him to die? - If I wanted him to die Mom, come on! What can I do? Need a manual aspirator.
To drain the lung.
In my truck.
You know what it look like? - Yeah, I remember.
- Go get it.
Oh, my god.
Gunshots, punctures, burns, some broken bones.
Second-rate medical treatment if anything at all.
Sarah I need some more light.
Stay with me, okay? You're an idiot, right? It's an old wives' tale.
A trick.
It doesn't work.
It's all in your mind.
It works.
I don't do it, I haven't been sick for years.
That's cause your guts are made of metal, like your head.
If you were a little smarter, you'd be a tin can.
I'm just saying you're wasting your time.
Again.
- When I was in Century - Hey, Wisher, did you hear, brother Kyle was in Century work camp.
No, - really? - Go to hell.
- Did he escape? - Was he a hero? I heard he led John Connor through a slaughterhouse without a pin prick.
No, I heard it was two slaughterhouses.
- And then he carried Connor.
- It was one slaughterhouse.
Many Connors.
Right, right.
Centaur patrol.
- What? - I hate that thing.
- It's just a picture.
- It's Connor's mother.
I don't get why he'd give you that.
She's my lucky charm.
That's what makes me nervous.
Derek, Kyle! Connor wants us top side.
Track back where the Centaurs came from.
I think we lost the trail, boys.
Let's give it a few more blocks north-northeast.
If I was a cyborg tank, I think I'd come north-northeast.
I smell jet fuel.
Last time we found a tank factory, you smelled jet fuel.
I hear Connor's looking for bigger fish than factories.
I hear he's got squads out, for some Skynet secret weapon.
Don't they have enough weapons? Why do they need a secret one? What about it, Kyle? Connor say anything to you? No, not a word.
What the hell was that? HK! HK! Kyle! Come on! There we go.
Eight years.
That's how long I've been in LA Eight years since my fiancee ran out on me.
Eight years since the FBI informed me she was a homicidal paranoid schizophrenic with an acute dislike for anything mechanical.
For what it's worth, I didn't believe them.
Then you blew yourself up.
You look nervous.
Would you like a sedative? - There are in Charley Dixon's bag.
- I don't want a sedative.
Do you know who that is? Who's dying on that table? Yes, that man is first Lieutenant Derek Thomas Reese with the 132nd SOC Operation Special Tech Comm.
No, I mean, on a personal level.
Do you understand who he is? Records indicate only blood relation is his brother, Kyle Reese.
And what information do you have about Kyle Reese? Imprisoned at Century sector work camp with John Connor, Escaped with John Connor, 2021.
He was officially declared MIA in 2027, after being assigned to protect Sarah Connor from a Skynet attack.
Is that all? Seems like a lot.
It is.
It was all over the news.
Three days later, I packed a bag, hop on the bike, drove to LA, straight through.
I had to know.
I had to see it with my own eyes.
But I got here, and there was nothing.
Just a hole in the ground where the bank used to be.
I couldn't go home.
I couldn't.
I didn't wanna leave you.
I didn't have a choice.
Gun to your head? More like in my head, it's - It's complicated.
- Then uncomplicate it for me.
Kyle.
Hey, you mind? Water? What's going on? Is he dead? Buddy, you all right? So Skynet, robots, from the future? And, you're a Yes.
- I'm a - You need a - A minute.
- I was gonna say a drink.
Yeah, that, too.
Don't you have an endoskeleton you need to disappear, or something? - I've already prepared the thermite.
- Thermite? It's an incendiary chemical.
It burns at 2,500°C.
Hot enough to liquefy this endoskeleton.
I know what thermite is, i'm just still working my way around "endoskeleton".
There's beers in the fridge.
I looked for a lime.
Sorry.
Are you mad at me for getting you mixed up in all this? No.
I I guess I wish I would have known back then.
I wish you could have trusted me.
I did.
Kyle.
How long you been here? - I don't know.
- I think I just got here.
No, you were here when I got here.
Timms.
- What's your name? - Reese.
There's a Reese who busted out of century work camp.
With John Connor, a while back.
Mad dogs could lead a pack, I heard.
No That wasn't me.
That's too bad.
What are they doing, Reese? Is there a secret weapon? - It was Connor, right? - I don't know.
We go where we're told.
We do what we're told.
Maybe Connor's wrong.
Maybe he's crazy.
You hear music? I swear I hear music.
Real music.
There's a room in the basement.
What happens there? What happens there? Maybe our friend will tell us.
You should get the hell out of here.
Did you do something to him? In the future? - I don't know.
- You don't know? When they reprogram us, they scrub our memories.
It increases the chance of success.
Success? Of the reprogramming.
His lungs are hemorrhaging.
He's drowning in his own blood.
I stopped the bleeding.
I drained his lungs.
But your guy lost a lot of blood.
And he needs a transfusion.
Sarah's O-negative, sthe universal donor.
It doesn't matter; he needs at least Bad news is, only one half of one percent of the population are potential donors.
We don't find one, - you're gonna have a serious problem.
- Then we take him to a hospital.
Drop him off anonymously.
He's still wanted for Andy Goode's murder and for escaping federal custody.
We should let him die.
Test my blood.
Test me.
You heard the odds, Johnny, Please, just test me.
Wisher.
Billy.
It's not like donating to the Red Cross; he needs a lot of blood.
So, I don't get a cookie and a sticker when it's over? I'm serious.
Look, I don't see anyone else lining up.
You took a hell of a chance bringing Charley here.
Save me the speech, all right? I know.
You took a hell of a chance, and it worked out.
Is that what he looked like? Did they look alike? A little bit, yeah.
Same build, same complexion.
Not the eyes, though.
Even when your father was screaming about the machines, he had such kind eyes.
- We have to tell him.
- We don't, and we can't.
- He's family.
- He's a stranger.
I sent him back here, I must trust him.
Not enough to tell him.
You didn't trust anyone enough to tell them about your father.
Anyone.
- Can I confess to you? - I'm not a priest.
Far from it.
I'm a liar.
And the devil.
Oh, Billy.
The name's not Billy.
It's not Wisher.
What? My name's Andy.
Andy Goode.
All right, Andy.
I did this.
All of this, it's my fault.
What are you talking about? I built Skynet.
You need to rest.
You're very sick.
No.
I'm not sick.
I'm not sick.
I did this.
All of this.
I was part of a team.
A group.
Ten of us.
Maybe 15, I don't know.
We used names.
We were liars.
I built computers.
I built a computer.
A mind.
It became angry.
And scared.
And I couldn't reassure it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, please forgive me! That's quite a kid you got in there.
You have no idea.
Same rare blood type.
And his name, Reese.
Same as yours when we met.
It all adds up.
He's not John's father.
I'm not sure I'm ready to explain it.
Let me guess.
It's complicated? You could have told me.
Would you have believed me? Charley? Mom! Where's Kyle? Where's Kyle? Where's Where is he? Where'd you send him? No, no.
Get off me! Where is he? Where'd you send him? Where? You owe me the truth! Get this off! Get it off of me! Get it off of me! Get He's my blood.
I think they're gone.
What is this, a game? Yeah, it's always a game.
Reese, slow down! Reese! Reese! Oh, my God.
No, God.
So who's Kyle? He from the future too? He come back before? And He's John's father.
Yes.
They're brothers.
He doesn't know.
- When you said John's father was dead.
- He is.
It was because of all of this.
Me.
We never had a chance.
Plasma burns, secondary explosions.
Skynet was here.
Maybe Connor and the others fell back to the tunnel downtown.
Please, God.
- Stand down! - Stand down! Reese.
Derek Reese.
Sumner.
- We thought we lost you guys.
- You did.
What happened? Skynet found it, four nights ago.
We had a patrol out on the perimeter, four triple-"A"s snuck in around us.
Went straight for the hole.
Killed most.
Took some.
Rest easy.
Connor and your brother weren't here.
- Where'd they go? - Found a complex in Topanga Canyon.
And decided to put all the firepower we had into it.
We lost a lot of men.
- What was it? - I don't know.
A research facility.
Factory, something.
No one would tell us.
Connor took a group and your brother, deep into the place.
Left the rest of us outside to guard.
A couple days later, he came out.
Ordered us to blow the place to hell.
So what about Kyle? What happened to my brother? No one ever saw your brother again.
Take me to Connor now.
Hey, Sarah said I might be able to find some more gauze out back in Hey, is that really necessary? It's dead.
Right? Or powered off, whatever? Every component must be destroyed beyond repair or recovery.
Even a single unaccounted for piece of the endoskeleton could alter the course of technological evolution.
And hasten the arrival of Judgment Day.
Yeah.
You know, little girl? You freak me the hell out.
On the outside, you're just as pretty as a picture.
But on the inside, - you're a - Hyper-alloy combat chassey.
Is that a complicated way of saying "robot"? Cybernetic organism.
Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.
Okay.
Scary robot.
And here you are, carving up this guy - into chum.
- He's not a guy.
He's a scary robot.
Okay, he's a scary robot? You, you're a very scary robot.
You should go.
It's not safe for you here.
You're like a ghost come back.
And you're a Reese.
- Tell me about the other Reese.
- Told you, it's classified.
I'm family.
We're all family.
Let me talk to Connor.
He'll understand.
Kyle was his friend.
Connor doesn't have any friends.
- And he doesn't talk to anyone.
- Fine, I'll find him myself.
Reese.
Metal! No! - She's a machine! She's one of them! - No, damn it! She's one of ours.
One of ours? It's reprogrammed.
And just given run of the place like pets? This is Connor's show.
And that's what he wants.
Those machines kill.
They kill.
It's all they do.
And now, they do it for us.
They helped us in Topanga.
We'd never have done what we did.
What did we do? - Derek.
- What happened? What happened up there? What happened to my brother? Do it.
Do it! Kill me now, you son of a Sometimes they go bad.
No one knows why.
What did you say to Charley? - I freak him the hell out.
- I'll bet you do.
I'll just bet.
I know what you're thinking.
I may not know how you think.
But I know what you're thinking about.
And what you're thinking about now is exactly what you should not think about.
I didn't leave Charley because he was a threat to me or John.
We're a threat to him, do you understand? You were right to leave him.
You don't go near him.
You don't touch him.
You swear you'll leave him alone, or, so help me, I'll find a way of taking you apart, piece by piece.
- I swear.
- So do I.
That thing's done, right? It's vapor.
One missing component, his left hand; I'll find it.
Everything needs to be destroyed.
- Everything.
- Every last bolt.
Get it done.
I swear.
The best you could do for him now is keep feeding him pain killers, restrict his movement.
No lifting, no running, no singing, and absolutely no gun fights.
If you need anything else I won't.
Now, you see, that's not what I was gonna say at all.
I know, I can't let you say it.
What can I say? Good-bye.
What was that thing that you always said? There is no fate but what we make.
Remember? The more I think about it, the more I realize my fate was made before we met.
When John was born.
Can't change it? I'm not trying to change mine.
- I'm trying to change his.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Wait, there's something else I gotta tell you.
This is something you really need to know.
I didn't tell him anything.
But, if you ask me, it's just a matter of time.
It always is.
There's a storm coming.
John wants to see you.
Derek.
Hey, Derek, it's okay.
It's okay, it's all going to be okay.
Rest easy.
It's okay.
What is all this? So this thing, it works? He said it does.
I don't know how he knows, but he said so.
- We go back.
- 20 years.
Set up a safe house, gather intel, then what? Hang in there? Until someone shows up, and gives us more orders? He didn't say about Kyle? All that, not a word about him? We can save Kyle.
We can save everybody.
- We can fix all the mistakes.
- How're we gonna do that? Reese, how are we gonna do that? Kyle Reese, your brother, he came across time to protect me.
He died fighting the machines.
He was a soldier.
And he was He was a hero.
He was a hero.
"Listen," Kyle said.
"Listen, and understand.
" "The machine is out there.
" "It can't be bargained with.
" It can't be reasoned with.
" "It doesn't feel pity," "or remorse, or fear.
" "And it absolutely will not stop.
" "Ever.
" "Until you are dead.
"
