Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles s02e22 Episode Script

Born to Run

Previously on Terminator: The Sarah Connor chronicles Kaliba was building something.
- John Henry was infiltrated.
- Someone out there wants to kill him.
- Who's John Henry? - He's my friend.
Savannah's survival may depend upon John Henry.
Why were you at the Weaver house? Why take the girl? To protect her.
Girl's in danger.
You told me I died of cancer.
She's lost weight.
- What? - Let me talk to Weaver.
I'll meet with Sarah Connor.
Make it happen.
Put hands behind your head! Kneel on the ground.
I know you've been told this already, but as I am a measure twice, cut once kind of carpenter, I do want to reiterate that you have the right to an attorney, if you are so inclined, and if you are not so inclined, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Not inclined.
Fair enough and noted.
So here's where we come down on all this.
Ten years ago, you murdered one Miles Dyson, employee of Cyberdyne.
Long time gone, but the man's still dead, so we've got that.
Eight years ago, you and your son and a high school friend of his blow up a bank vault and die in the explosion.
Now, of course, you're still alive, which is inconvenient for many, but the bank's still blown, so we've got that.
More recently, and by that I mean Monday, you participated in a firefight leaving five dead and kidnapping one Savannah Weaver, daughter of Catherine Weaver and citizen of Scotland, making this incident both federal and international.
Two of the dead were off-duty law enforcement officers, and that usually gets you the needle.
But in that, I do digress.
Agent Aldridge.
You're a funny boy.
Well, that's what mom says.
I never liked funny boys.
I doubt they like you either, Ms.
Connor.
There's two ways I can bring your son into custody With your help, or dead.
Which do you think it should be? - My son? - Your son, John Connor.
John is dead.
I don't think so.
He died in the bank.
I don't think so.
I don't think anyone died in the bank.
Well, you're wrong.
Sometimes.
But not today.
Not yet.
Think about it.
was arrested and is now in local custody facing a series of new charges as well as a host of old ones.
Authorities are also on the lookout for Connor's son John, as well as an unidentified female accomplice.
What you see here are photos dating back eight years.
Both fugitives would now be in their mid-20s.
- We should move.
- This motel is out of the way.
The desk clerk could have clocked us last night.
Relocating within 24 hours of the incident has high risk factors.
This room provides excellent sight lines down the highway.
This is not an incident.
This is my mother.
I need a computer.
I need to do research.
You want the blueprints for the los angeles county jail.
Do I? So you can plan how to get your mother out.
But I'm not going to let you do that.
You should know that.
- I do know that.
- Then what is there to research? Power sources.
Shielded nuclear power sources.
Like mine.
Just like yours.
Why? I wanna know if being around them all the time can give you cancer.
Okay, it's a large room.
It's dark, it's quiet.
It's impossible to see.
You may wanna roll a scan.
I'll roll a scan.
I rolled a one.
One.
Tough luck.
You don't see the Umber Hulk as it crawls from its nest in the stone and attacks you.
You take three hit points of damage from a bite to the shoulder.
I attack the Umber Hulk.
Okay, that's crit with the Vorpal Longsword to the Umber Hulk.
Unbelievable.
Lucky roll.
Hello.
I just delivered a crit hit to the Umber Hulk.
Congratulations.
Who's winning, Mr.
Murch? Well, it's not really that kind of game.
Although I'm a little bummed that he killed the Umber Hulk so fast.
You've considered the possibility he can roll whatever number he desires.
How long will it take to disassemble everything and prepare it for transport? Everything? You mean like everything? Is that something you're planning on doing? But John Henry's been attacked once.
We should be prepared.
John Henry was hacked.
We fixed that.
And I think we're past the point where moving the hardware's a good idea.
In fact, I think it's Potentially a really bad idea.
How's that so? For example, the other day, one of the fan wires on the server was glitchy.
So we switched it out.
Same wire, same length.
Identical.
Like changing a spark plug.
- And - It sort of tweaked him.
- I'm not sure what you're getting at.
- What I'm getting at is I think what we know to be John Henry only exists as this specific collection of hardware and software Body and soul.
We change a wire, we change John Henry.
I'm ready to confront the Mind Flayer now.
They followed me to the movie theater.
I didn't know, I swear.
I spent the last hours convincing them we weren't in this together.
Maybe I should tell them we were.
Maybe we were in this together.
I just wanted the girl to be safe.
- So did I.
- From whom? - I don't know.
- You don't know, or you can't say? I don't know, but if I did, I probably couldn't say.
They wanna know what you've been doing for the last ten years.
What'd you tell them? I told them I have no idea what you've been doing.
What else could I tell them? You can tell them.
You can tell them everything you've been doing.
You can draw them a picture of everything they know and everything you know.
If you're innocent, you could do that.
The last time I drew a picture I ended up in a psych ward.
Maybe things will be different now.
Maybe you got nothing to lose.
There's always something to lose.
I am sorry for this.
Sure you are.
Where's the girl? Back with her mother.
Where else would a child be? She's not safe.
She's not safe.
She's not safe.
Episode 222: Born to Run v 1.
00 - Agent? - Mr.
Ellison, come in.
It's open.
This is where they stick us now.
Pretty sure I know what the subtext is, but I refuse to read that deep.
She's not budging on the son.
Maybe she's telling the truth.
Maybe she's a liar lacking the proper motivation to tell the truth.
But she's got a guilty conscience.
What makes you think that? For starters, she's requested a priest.
What? Man of the cloth in the flesh.
Black and white and God all over.
Father Armando Bonilla ring a bell? Can't imagine what the connection is.
Did it ever occur to you she might just wanna pray? Not for a second.
It occurs to me that other than a lawyer, a priest is the only other person she could ask to speak with that we can't listen to.
Buenos dias, Father.
Do you remember me? You and your son were in my church.
There was a problem with your daughter.
At least, that is what you told me.
She's better now.
Where is she? She's in hiding.
With my son.
I don't know where.
And they are wanted.
You have included them in your crimes.
Do you believe in the Devil, Father? The Devil.
Do you believe in the actual Devil? Something opposes God.
Something tempts man into sin.
I don't know about God or heaven but I do believe someone or something wants this world to burn The Devil, demons I believe.
And that day in the church, my daughter You saw things, didn't you? I pray every day to understand what happened that day.
I can explain it to you.
I don't know if you'll believe me, but I can explain it to you.
And after I'm done, I'm gonna ask you to do something for me.
Will you do something for me? Mr.
Ellison, welcome back.
How are your friends in law enforcement? How are your friends in law enforcement, Mr.
Ellison? They're very determined.
What is this? Sarah Connor is talking with a priest.
Father Armando Bonilla.
I can see that.
Why is it here? Why are you watching it? John Henry monitors all law enforcement channels.
Seems prudent.
It seems illegal.
So's lying to the FBI.
I don't think now's the time to be parsing which laws we'll be obeying - and which we will not.
- Now's not the time.
I heard her when she said it.
- Those cameras should be off.
- I want to meet him.
The priest? No, the boy.
You wanna meet John Connor? Someone's attacked my family.
They may attack again.
I think he knows something.
And besides, he saved my daughter - And I want to thank him.
- Thank you.
Can we talk outside? It's a bad idea.
I don't know what you think John knows.
I know he was at my house when the attacker showed up.
I want to know why.
His mother thinks he's a messiah.
I want to know why.
And despite your reluctance to tell me, I surmise that he and his cyber companion are connected to the John Henry body, and I want to know why.
She's a cyborg.
Don't pretend you didn't know.
She's dangerous.
And you think I need protecting.
That's sweet.
But don't ever lie to me again.
Now about John Connor I don't know how to find him.
Well, I do.
Can I help you? How? - Ammo? - Silencers.
You know we can't sell that kinda stuff.
Ask to speak to Manny.
I want to speak to Manny.
Call the number first.
Then ask.
I always thought the best things about those guns was the sound.
No.
It's not.
How much weight has she lost? You think she has cancer because she's lost weight.
So how much weight has she lost? in the last six weeks.
She was healthy before you showed up.
That's all I know.
She was healthy.
If my power source was leaking radiation, I would know.
I have sensors for that.
- Where are they? - You can't see them.
No, of course not.
So I just have to trust you on it.
Stuff does go wrong with you, doesn't it? Stuff breaks You kill birds, you twitch.
You try to murder me.
You're not perfect.
You're a machine.
Mom! Yes, I remember you.
Buenos dias to you too, Father.
Underneath the bench, there is an envelope.
I hope it is enough.
Is all I could find.
I have a message for you as well.
What's wrong? The ids are flawless.
They're flawless.
There's nothing else there.
There's nothing hidden there.
No secret message there for her escape.
I am to tell you this.
From your mother.
Leave this place.
As soon as it is safe.
Leave this place.
Do not think of her.
Do not come for her.
Leave.
You are to make sure that he does.
We lose everybody we love.
She said that? That's interesting.
Let me repeat.
I had nothing to do with your mother's arrest.
If I had there'd be a SWAT team outside your door right now.
The same thing would happen to this swat team as happened to your last one.
Catherine Weaver would like to meet you.
Why? She wants to thank you for saving Savannah.
Well, she just did.
Your mother wanted to meet her.
Well, when my mother gets out, trust me, she will.
I told Ms.
Weaver you'd never come without your mom.
She said, if that was the case, I'm supposed to ask one question.
She says I'm supposed to ask you.
Will you join us? She says she hopes you'll know what that means.
Do you know what that means? No, I don't.
Please leave now, Mr.
Ellison.
I think you've said enough.
You've said enough, Mr.
Ellison.
I won't ask you again.
He upset you.
Me? I think he upset you.
You know that's impossible.
Is it? You said it yourself, John.
I'm just a machine.
I believe you.
You believe me what? I believe there are machines.
I believe they've come back from the future to first kill you and then your son.
I believe in time travel.
I believe in cyborgs.
I believe there's a world that I've not yet seen but you have and John.
In the last eight hours, I've received 37 calls from people who have met a young man named John Baum or his sister Cameron or Sarah Baum the mother.
They now know her to be Sarah Connor.
By all accounts, your son looks 16 and not 24, just as you look 35 and not 43.
I believe you have participated in the miraculous and the terrible, and through it all, you have maintained a moral and good soul.
I want to help you.
I want to help your son.
Help me do that.
My son is dead.
Do you know who Danny Dyson is? Danny? Miles Dyson's son.
Do you know where he is? Why? He's been missing for three months.
You the guy who smashed through my gate? I liked that gate.
Catherine Weaver? Sure.
The chip has been treated with a phosphorous compound.
- When exposed to oxygen - It burns up.
I know what happened.
I saw it happen.
Can any data be recovered? I can try, but it's highly doubtful.
We need to know what it knows, who sent it.
It's safe to assume my brother sent it.
Where have you been? Where have I been? It's 7:00 in the morning.
I been asleep.
- Didn't you get my message? - It was very disappointing.
Did you give the message exactly as I said it? Of course.
Look, I told you before.
She'll never leave his side, and he'll never leave his mother's.
We'll see.
Don't do that.
My mom used to do that.
I really hate that.
What's goin' on? You need to understand how it works.
What? This chip.
This body.
The software is designed to terminate humans.
The hardware is designed to terminate humans.
That's our sole function.
Not you.
Not anymore.
But what was there is still there.
And will always be there.
So down deep you wanna kill me.
I do.
Then why don't you? I might someday.
I need to show you something.
This body Get on top of me.
Put your knee here.
Right here.
If I'm damaged, we should know.
Reach down under the breast plate.
There.
What does it feel like? Cold.
That's good, right? That's good.
That's perfect.
It's time to go.
It's right here.
Door! You did what I asked? I did.
And? Why are you here? They have a message for you.
She's coming.
I don't know what to do.
You're a priest.
Pray.
What's that Bible story, the one where the locks fall off? - Peter.
- Yeah.
That's a good one.
Gird thyself.
There's been a bit of an incident.
At the jail? Any idea how it started? Look there.
And there.
You look like hell.
Can you keep up? I sent you a message.
I told you Yeah, bad John Connor.
Ground me.
Are you okay? I'm not 100%.
How far from 100% are you? Why? 'Cause I need to meet Catherine Weaver.
And she needs to destroy whatever's in that basement.
I really wish we weren't here right now.
Savannah could tell them we know about Cromartie.
- John Henry now.
- Metal.
If she tells them, they'll move it.
- Maybe they already have.
- Well, we'll know soon enough.
Mom, are you sick? Cameron thinks you're sick.
She does? You've lost weight.
I love you.
Where's Cameron? In the car.
Expecting trouble? No change for the meter.
You're not armed, are you? Expecting trouble? No reason for that.
No reason at all.
Hello.
Hello.
I know you.
And I know you.
Will you join us? So why are we here? - We need - Let me restate.
We're here first and foremost so I can thank you for your heroism regarding my daughter Savannah.
She's the light of my life, and I'd be lost without her.
Where is she? Let's assume school.
We have a common enemy One we cannot fight with conventional weapons or by conventional means.
Kaliba? Don't presume to know Kaliba.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't speaking to you.
I was speaking to you about Skynet.
Savannah's told you about John Henry, I assume.
Which is why your cyborg is skulking around my basement.
What the hell Get down.
Run! The basement.
We need to get out.
They're trying to kill my son.
No.
They're trying to kill my son, just like you are.
- I'm sure she's done it.
- You better hope not.
Your John may save the world, but he can't do it without mine.
Her chip.
It's gone.
Where is he, the John Henry? He took her chip.
Where did he go? He didn't take the chip.
She gave it to him.
Where is he? Not where.
When.
What? What do you mean, when? I know that.
I've seen it before.
Is that the Turk? It's Andy Goode's Turk.
Three dots.
You lying Terminator bitch.
You're building Skynet.
I was building something to fight it.
And I'd watch who's calling who a bitch.
- Coming, James? - Coming? After John Henry.
- Our boy.
- He's not my boy.
- And you - Do you mind picking up Savannah then? Gymnastics ends at 5:30.
John, we can't.
He's got her chip.
He's got her.
Mom.
I'll stop it.
Where's Cameron? - Where's her body? - It doesn't go through.
Got one! - Got one! - One what? What? Please.
I'm not metal.
Don't move don't move! Please! I swear I haven't got anything! I'm human! - 'Cause I will blast you! - Stand down.
Look in his eyes.
He's got about as much metal in him as you do.
Derek.
Yeah? John.
John Connor.
I know a lot of people, kid.
Don't know you.
Anybody heard the name John Connor? You know what? I think you're gonna be famous.
My brother's back, and you're wearing his coat.
I love you too.
