1.INT INTRODUCTION

Opening credit scene. Back in the steel mill, the ending of Terminator 2. The Terminator, T-800 is
lowered by Sarah Connor in the vat of molten steel, as Sarah and tearful John watch from a grid
platform above the vat. Sarah narrates, as battle damaged Terminator descends with a chain.

SARAH
Every day from this day on is a gift. But the dark future which never
came still exists for me. And it always will, like the traces of a dream.
John fights the way differently than it was foretold. Now, on the
battlefield of the Senate his weapons are common sense and hope.

The Terminator gives a tearful John a final thumbs-up as it disappears into the molten steel and
shuts down.

SARAH
The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it, for the
first time, with a sense of hope. Because if a machine
can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.

Terminator's red HUD vision crashes down and only darkness remains. First beats of the Terminator
theme starts to play. From down of the screen grows out red lines towards the horizon, forming
timelines like neural network, as Terminator theme triumphantly plays in the background.

From the lines grow out more lines, holographic stock film footages of WAR pop up in the way, as
we follow the lines in the dark distant horizon. We see early black and white films of cavalry battle
in the early 20th century, First World War footage through 1914-1918, soldiers marching, fighting in
trenches, cannon fire in the no man's land in rhythm of Terminator theme. Soldiers firing the gatling
gun. From there we follow Hitler's rise to power. Lines keep forming and we go through World War
II through 1939-1945. Germans doing their blitzkrieg with tanks, Attack on Pearl Harbor, Battle of
Midway, D-Day, bloody and graphic images of war. We follow how war technology evolves to the
nuclear bomb and to the destruction of Hiroshima.

3
We follow the lines to the Korean War 1950-1953. Cold War starts to heat up. Americans and
Soviets start to test rocket and missile technology, space race begins. Sputnik, first man in space,
first man on the moon. Lines move more faster. Vietnam War 1955-1975. Bomber planes and
fighter jets drop thousands of bombs in the jungles of Vietnam, childrens running away from
napalm attack, helicopters transport soldiers on the ground. Dead bodies litter dirt road.

1961, Soviet Union detonates the most powerful nuclear weapon ever, the Tsar-bomb, massive
mushroom cloud. Lines get faster, humans self destruction becomes faster and more violent, as
technology evolves. Soviet – Afghan War 1979 – 1989. We see glimpse of Terminator arriving to
1984 and trying to kill Sarah Connor. Gulf War 1990-1991, fighter jets flying over burning oil fields
and C-130 gun camera footage of shooting buildings. 1991, another Terminator is send back in time
and protect John Connor when he was child. T-1000 and last remains of Terminators are destroyed
in the vat of molten steel.

Red time lines glitch out and turn into blue, A NEW TIMELINE. Bosnian War 1992-1995. 911
happens, Afghanistan and Iraq wars begin, Syrian Civil War begins, ISIS rises, suicide bombings
and EID bombs take out vehicles. More violence, more death, more bombings, there's no end for
the war. Blue lines go faster to the horizon, Terminator theme becomes more faster and more
threatening, holographic screens crash down and show error message: INSUFFICIENT DATA. The
blue lines go light speed across the cyberspace. We move towards dark and purple eyed machine
skull face of T-INFINITY, slowly coming from shadows, we are going towards infinity.

Flash of lightning and boom, title: TERMINATOR: INFINITY hits the screen. Cut to black.

2.EXT ALABAMA – SWAMP NIGHT

Fade to a dark swamp in Alabama. Alligators rest on small mushy islands. Swamp is noisy from
night life, frogs, owls, crickets, light rain. Air slowly electrifies, blue lightning bolts hit base of a old
twisted root tree, lightning bolts hit an alligator next of the tree, making it to move to the water, but
gets electrified by the water. Bright light and liquid bubble forms in the base of the rooted tree,
cutting it. Tree falls in the watery swamp, bubble ignites the base on fire. Lightnings dissipate and
bubble fades away, revealing a naked, big, black and bald man squatting in the round recess, left
behind by the time displacement bubble. Water rush in the burned recess and fills it. All the noise in
the swamp stops, it's dead silent.

4
Man shows movement and slowly stands up. Burning tree illuminates the swamp and man's muscle
figures. Bald man moves his neck in mechanic way, checking his environment. Blue electric lights
flows under his skin like snakes and disappear. On the forehead glows INFINITY symbol and fades
away. Naked muscle man walks in the midst of the swamp, along the shallow water, not fearing the
alligators.

3.EXT/INT ALABAMA – STONECIPHER'S FARM NIGHT

Small farm near a lake, near the highway. Red 50's pick up drives pass the farm, from the radio
blares Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry.

CHUCK BERRY
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans. Way back up in the woods
among the evergreens. There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood...

In the wooden farmhouse blares the TV. In the living room sits old bearded farmer in his red shirt
and jean overall in a rocking chair, sleeping and snoring loudly, he's Mr. STONECIPHER. Opposite
to him is a wooden tube TV running on its own.

NARRATOR
And now, our feature presentation.

On the black and white grainy picture comes on Twilight Zone intro and the iconic theme. Rod
Serling narrates over the ominous theme.

ROD SERLING
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension
vast as space and as timeless as INFINITY. It is the middle ground between light...

Air gets electrified, hair on sleeping Stonecipher stands up because of it.

ROD SERLING
…and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's
fears and the summit of his knowledge...zzZZzz...this is...zzZZz...dimension..ZZZZ!

5
Lightning strikes wake up Stonecipher, he wobbles in his rocking chair, squinting his eys.

STONECIPHER
(southern accent) Dagnabit! Gosh darnit! What the hell is going on!?

TV shoots out sparks and explodes to pieces, throwing Stonecipher on his back, as the time bubble
forms middle of the living room, turning everything bright white.

STONECIPHER
Hell's bells!? Oh, holy Mary-Mother of Jesus!!

Stonecipher gets up and jumps through the window, as liquid bubble shoots lightning all over the
room, setting it on fire, wall clock's hands spin around and the whole thing explodes. Bubble fades
away and naked, young black woman, drops on the floor, screaming from pain. Her hair shaved
from the side and combed to the other side, and seems to have a gunshot kind wound in her waist.

Fearful Stonecipher peeks from the window, amazed to see a naked woman middle of the burning
room. Woman grins and uses last of her strength to get up and run through the front door, pass the
fire. Woman falls on the muddy yard, cries from pain and gets back up, limping away from the
farmhouse, burning behind her. Fearful Stonecipher walks to the yard and is speechless. He watches
how the woman escapes in the darkness and then at his burning home.

STONECIPHER
Oh, fudge...no one will believe me this time.

4.EXT ALABAMA – SWAMP NIGHT

The big muscle man walks up a hill, something reddish glows behind the slope. He gets up the hill,
only to discover a huge burning cross in a opening. Man turns his head side to side and sees men
dresses in white robes, pointed hats and masks, 15 men standing in a circle around the burning
cross, holding burning torches, they are the KU KLUX KLAN. Time traveler is confused by the
men and they are confused by him.
KKK 1
That's one big ass nigger!

6
 KKK 2
I think we're going to have us a nigger hanging tonight, boys!

KKK 3
Woo-hee! (chuckle) We're gonna have so much fun!

Big man walks to the biggest KKK member and looks at him from head to toe.

T-INFINITY
Give me your clothes, now.

All klansmen make maniacal laughter. Big klansman with a torch makes a good belly laughter.

BIG KKK
(laughter) We have a full retard here! Don't you know
who we are, boy?! We should teach you some manners!

Big KKK pushes his burning torch against T-I's abdomen, he takes it calmly, not even flinching.
KKK members are confused and scared.

BIG KKK
What the hell?!

T-I slowly points his finger middle of the big KKK eyes. Flash, and blood flies on the white robes
of other members. Klansmen are scared shitless from what they just witness and pull out revolvers.
We watch from the distance how the whole forest around the hill flashes from mysterious purple
lights, noises of strange buzzes, gunfire and death screams.

One smoking and bruised KKK member runs down a dirt road, terrified beyond belief. Running
towards parked 50's cars. He gets in his cadillac and starts it, reverse it out of the parking spot.
Suddenly mysterious light flickers and floods the parking place, making the cadillac shutdown,
KKK member panics and tries to start the car. Out from the fading light comes the figure of T-I.
Cadillac starts and klansman tries to run over T-I. T-I grabs the nose of the car and stops it like into
a wall, rear wheels spin without moving, burning rubber. Purple electricity engulfs the car, KKK

7
member screams in agony, as he gets electrocuted by the purple lightnings. We can see bones and
skull through the flesh from every strike. Strikes speed up and flashes increase until all turns white.

5.EXT ALABAMA – HIGHWAY NIGHT

Wounded woman limbs middle of the dark highway, holding her waist wound. Headlights of 56's
Chervolet illuminates the naked African American woman. She waves to the car.

????
Nnghh...Please, stop! I need help! (sob)

Chervolet just honks its horn and drives around the mysterious woman.

????
Asshole!

Next a truck comes across with the woman. Woman waves her hand to the truck.

????
Stop! I need help! I'm hurt!...nngh.

Truck honks horn and goes around the woman. She falls on the road. Behind the truck comes a red
pick up truck and makes a screeching stop. Young white man comes from the car, in his 30s, glasses
and brunette hair, wearing red and black plaid jacket. He sees the woman lying middle of the road.

DESMOND
Oh, God. Miss, are you okay?

No response. Nervous DESMOND SILBERMAN looks around, then rushes to the woman and
takes off his plaid jacket. He covers woman's body with the jacket. He checks the wound and pulse
from the neck.

DESMOND
Hey, what happened?

8
 ????
Help...me.

DESMOND
Listen, you're going into shock. I'll take you to my place. I can help you there.

Desmond takes the woman in his arms and carries her into his car. Puts her in the passenger seat and
gets to driver seat and drives from the scene in high speed.

6.EXT ALABAMA – BOATHOUSE NIGHT

Two storey boathouse on a dark river. Desmond's pick up rush to the boathouse and park to the
yard. Desmond rushes to get the naked woman wrapped in the jacket.

7.INT BOATHOUSE – LIVING ROOM NIGHT

Front door is kicked in and Desmond carries in the wounded woman. He puts her on a scruffy
couch, opposite of a fireplace, stuffed moose head above it. Desmond checks more closely the
wound, burned, lightning shaped wound. Nothing he's ever seen before. Desmond takes off his shirt
and puts it on the bleeding wound.

DESMOND
Are you still with me? Wound seems to be petering out. But
still...needs some after treatment. I suggest you get some rest.

Woman sees Desmond all blurry, darkness falls and she passes out. Transition to flashback.

FLASHBACK 2029

Channel 13 exclusive news broadcast, showing the exploding Cyberdyne building from T2.

NARRATOR
In the late 20th century terrorists attacked and destroyed Cyberdyne headquarters.
But the dedication of Cyberdyne employees like Blythe Dyson, who's father

9
 (MORE)
Miles Dyson died in the cowardly attack, has able the company climb
in new hights of excellence. Cyberdyne, forging better machines.

Footage of BLYTHE DYSON in lab coat, smiling to the camera, the footage of her testing new
robot technology in various situations, giving speeches, shaking the hand of the president. Cut to a
senate hearing in C-SPAN channel. Blythe sitting front of the Connor's Committee of Artificial
Intelligence, wearing purple business suit. Opposite of her, middle of the row of senators, sits
senator JOHN CONNOR in black suit, leading the committee.

BLYTHE
I really believe that restricting the research of artificial intelligence will
hinder the progress of mankind. AI would be our final invention and
changes the human civilization, positive SINGULARITY, humans and
machines become one. We see it already today like artificial limbs or organs.

JOHN
Are you suggesting that we would let AI affect our evolution?

BLYTHE
That is one possible future, more plausible future. I'm talking about TRANSHUMANISM,
enhancing human intelligence and physiology, overcoming our biological limitations.

JOHN
Human and machine hybrids? Personally, this ”plausible future” terrifies me.

We back away and discover the senate hearing coming from one of many flat monitors, on a
modern desk, Blythe fallen asleep on the desk, arms working as pillow. Little yellow spider robot
pushes her arm, servos squeaking. From above descends a orange and bulky robot hand, tapping
Blythe gently on the shoulder.

TURK
(machine voice) Good morning, Miss Dyson.

10
Blythe moans and slowly gets from the desk, smacking her lips. Blythe makes stretching moves.

BLYTHE
Mmmm...What's the time?

TURK
Time is 9:00 a.m, Miss Dyson.

BLYTHE
Shit, I fell asleep again, well, no need to go home, I'm already at work, again.

Blythe takes a closer look of the big, orange and white, bipedal robot, red cyclop eye, elongated
head, round shapes.

TURK
Shall we go through today's series of tests?

BLYTHE
Yeah, why not. I don't have any better to do.

TURK
Am I detecting snarky attitude?

BLYTHE
(smile) Nothing escapes you, Turk. Let's go.

Blythe stands up, wearing Cyberdyne lab coat with their pyramid symbol and ID card on the chest.
Blue shirt and black jeans. Blythe walks deeper in the highly modern lab, Turk follows her. Lab is
filled with different colored robots, top portions or simple limbs, hooked in wires and tubes.

Blythe's finger touches a touch screen, activating a music program and selects Billy Idol's ”Dancing
With Myself”. Soon the song echoes through the hall, activating the orange DANCING ROBOT.
Blythe shakes her waist and head, spins around and dances with the dancing robot.

11
 BILLY IDOL
On the floors of Tokyo, Or down London town to go, go.
With the record selection. And the mirror's reflection.
I'm dancing with myself. When there's no-one else in sight...

Blythe doing air guitar and moshing, dancing robot imitates her.

BLYTHE
C'mon, Turk! Dance! This is very important, you need to learn this stuff!

TURK
Affirmative, Miss Dyson.

Turk starts to squat up and down and spin his arms. Blythe dances front of Turk.

BLYTHE
Enjoy it, Turk! Don't be a stick in a mud!

TURK
I'm smiling inside!

BILLY IDOL
...Oh dancing with myself, Oh dancing with myself. Well, there's nothing
to lose. And there's nothing to prove. I'll be dancing with myself....

Blythe dances away from Turk, snapping her fingers. Dozens of tiny yellow spider robots lift up
their spider legs and slide on the floor and spin around Blythe like some highly planned
choreographed dance number, moving with Blythe. Blythe points at blue CHESS playing ROBOT.

BLYTHE
Bishop to B4!

ATLAS ONE
Knight to G5!

12
 BLYTHE
Queen to H6! Checkmate!

ATLAS ONE
You won, Miss Dyson.

Blythe jump on a wheeled chair and spins her way to the green BATTLESHIP ROBOT. Blythe
pushes the touch screen display of the battleship map. Turk keeps dancing the same way.

BLYTHE
A6!

COLOSSUS
Hit! F4!

BLYTHE
Miss! A7!

COLOSSUS
Hit! You sunk my battleship!

BLYTHE
C'mon, bots! You need to do better! You have to beat me!

Blythe wheels her way to the CARD DEALER ROBOT, only two hands on a Black Jack table.

BLYTHE
Deal me a hand, Sammy!

Card dealer robot starts to shuffle the cards. Blythe wheels along a long table and takes two pens
and pound them on the edge of the table like drums. Blythe comes across a creepy ROBOT FACE
on a table, made from hundred of pieces around a metal skull, glass eyes.

13
 BLYTHE
Imitate my face impressions! Smile!

Robot face makes a wide and creepy smile. Blythe slightly moves with the music and makes a sad
face, pulls corners of her lips down. Robot face makes a creepy sad face.

BLYTHE
Sad face!

Blythe covers her face for a peek-a-boo.

BLYTHE
Get ready for a scare!

Blythe moves hands out of the way and yells.

BLYTHE
Peek-a-Boo!

Robot face makes a creepy scared face, but next of it is smiling senator John Connor, leaning down.
Blythe screams and almost falls from the chair. She rushes to stop the blaring music. As the music
stops, dancing robot, Turk and other robots calm down. Blythe rushes to straighten herself up and
act professional. Cyberdyne PR guys and assistant behind John are totally stunned.

BLYTHE
Se-Senator Connor. This...This is a unexpected honor. (nervous giggle)

JOHN
(chuckle) Glad to see someone loving their job.

BLYTHE
Di-Did we have an appointment or something?

JUMP CUT

14
In Blythe Dyson's messy office. Blythe closes the door and goes to clean her desk. John Connor
admires the view through the blinder windows, seeing futuristic and clean San Francisco.

JOHN
What were you doing before we interrupted you?

BLYTHE
I was teaching them to...feel.

John takes a break from admiring the view and turns confused.

JOHN
Feel?

BLYTHE
Yes, teach them how to feel when you win, when you lose, how to
listen. I believe that emotions and free will are part of a thinking
machine. That's how we can relate to them more and vice versa.

JOHN
So, you don't have any problem with an angry machine with free will?

BLYTHE
If he's a victim of wrong doing and needs to defend himself or others.

JOHN
I'm trying to understand you, Blythe. You know why your
father died. And now you're following his footsteps. Why?

BLYTHE
Father made a mistake and paid the ultimate price. He was going to
do a computer, which became self-aware, like immature child,
without knowledge of ethics or feelings. I'm doing the opposite.

15
Blythe stops cleaning and engages John in serious conversation.

JOHN
And make another JUDGMENT DAY.

BLYTHE
God! You're like a broken record, you know that? It's the year 2029, no nukes
have fallen, no Skynet, we are all alive and happy. Give machines a chance.

JOHN
I don't trust machines.

BLYTHE
I don't trust people. Did you know that every day thousand people die in
hospitals from medical mistakes done by doctors, this could be reduced
immensely with AI control. Cyber crime done by hackers cost to society
10 trillion dollars every year, this could be also reduced immensely by AI.

John and Blythe are soon in a staring contest.

JOHN
Well, you made a quite impression in the hearing, you managed
to convince my fellow senators, so CONNOR ACT is in ice for
now. You almost convinced me. I want to you to work for me.

BLYTHE
You're just offering because you don't want me to work for Cyberdyne!

JOHN
(chuckle) Yes, there's that. Look, I want to show you
something. Have you ever heard about PROJECT FATE?

BLYTHE
No, should I have?

16
 JOHN
Come with me to CRYSTAL PEAK. We are building something there,
something that will help us to decide the best future for all mankind.

Blythe makes a confused face.

8.INT ALABAMA – BOATHOUSE MORNING

Back in 1959. Blythe wakes up groggy and pale. Morning sun shines on her. Fireplace has glowing
cinders. Naked Blythe is under a blanket on the couch. She sees the moose head over the fireplace,
staring at her. Blythe feels something moving on her wound, she removes the blanket over the waist
wound and is horrified to discover MAGGOTS all over her wound, making her scream. Desmond
rushes back, wearing mustard yellow shirt and holding a mug.

DESMOND
It's alright! Maggots are eating the dead tissue away.

Blythe makes another scream and covers her body. Desmond looks away briefly.

DESMOND
Oh! I didn't look, I-I tried my best not to peek, I just treated the wound.

BLYTHE
A-Are you a...doctor?

DESMOND
No, I'm a taxidermist...But I was a medic in the war.

BLYTHE
Which war?

DESMOND
You know, the big one. Pacific front.

17
 BLYTHE
What year is this?

DESMOND
Year? You really got hurt bad when you need to ask that. It's the year of our lord 1959.

BLYTHE
Who are you?

DESMOND
I-I'm the one who found you on the road, naked. Don't you remember?
My name is Desmond, Desmond Silberman, who might you be?

BLYTHE
Blythe Dyson.

DESMOND
Blythe? That's a strange name. How do you spell that?

BLYTHE
B-l-y-t-h-e.

DESMOND
Blythe. Nice to meet you, Blythe. Aa, I have to ask, did you get...raped?

BLYTHE
What?! No, no one raped me!

DESMOND
(phew) Th-Tha-That's good, I just was wondering why you are naked. And
that wound, it's not any combat wound I've ever seen. How did you get that?

BLYTHE
It's...it's a...long story.

18
 DESMOND
I bet it is...Oh, I made you some hot chocolate. Here.

Desmon offers the mug and Blythe takes it.

BLYTHE
Thanks.

DESMOND
And I put some my old army clothes on that chair. They may fit you better.

BLYTHE
Do you have a phone book?

DESMOND
Phone book? You mean telephone directory? You need to make a call?

BLYTHE
No, I just want the book...something to read, you know.

DESMOND
Right...Well, I was going to visit the town. I could get you a phone book.

BLYTHE
Oh, and do you have a bucket?

DESMOND
You need to go now? I have a outhouse.

BLYTHE
No! no, no, no, aa, I'm feeling sick and I might throw up...so.

DESMOND
Oh! Sure, I'll get you a bucket.

19
Desmond rushes to the kitchen and comes back with a bucket.

BLYTHE
Thanks, you're such a...gentleman, Desmond. (smile)

DESMOND
Heh, you just rest and I'll come back soon as possible and remove the maggots.

Desmond takes his plaid jacket from the rack and leaves the boathouse. Blythe hears pick up's
engine starting and leaving the yard. Blythe puts the mug to the side and puts two fingers in her
throat, to make herself throw up. Soon Blythe vomits in the bucket and GOLDEN FLASH DRIVE
drops bottom of the bucket. Blythe takes a flash drive and cleans it with the blanket. She looks at
the drive against the sun. On the side reads: PROJECT FATE.

9.INT RESIDENCE OF BRODIE MORNING

In a living room. Gramophone needle scraping spinning vinyl record, making a static sound. White
haired and bearded man, wearing white T-shirt and beige pants, lies on a sofa and snoring, table
next of him is filled with empty alcohol bottles. Whisky bottle in other hand and black and white
framed photo in other. Landline phone with rotary dial starts to ring loudly. Man wakes up, moaning
and groaning. Framed photo drops on the carpet, revealing a black and white wedding picture from
the 1930's. Man reaches for the phone, alcohol bottles drop all over the place, revealing the phone
behind them. He answers the phone.

BRODIE
(deep sigh) Sheriff Brodie.

DISPATCH
We have a situation in Everglade swamp, end of Abbott road.
Multiple murder victims. Charlie needs you there, Sheriff.

BRODIE
(cough, cough) Okay, tell him that I'll be there in...as soon as possible, Hazel.

20
 DISPATCH
Good heaves! I can smell your alcohol breath all the way here. Can you drive?

BRODIE
Heh, good one. Don't worry about me.

DISPATCH
Oh, and Stonecipher called. That crazy bastard burned
down his own house and needs you to visit him.

BRODIE
Why? So I can arrest him for it.

DISPATCH
Who knows, he sounded as drunk as you are.

BRODIE
Hazel, I know it's hard, but respect the badge. Bye.

Brodie hangs up the phone. He takes the photo from the floor and kisses it.

BRODIE
I have to go to work, Maggie. See you later.

10.EXT ALABAMA - SWAMP MORNING

Black and white sheriff's car arrives to the opening before the hill. Parked cars and cadillac middle
of them. Brodie parks behind other police car already there. Brodie gets out of the car, wearing
beige police uniform, pilot jacket over it and brown cowboy hat, star badge on the chest, sunglasses.
Deputy Charlie comes to him, he's wearing white cowboy hat, brown leather jacket, red button shirt.

CHARLIE
Jesus, Brodie. Did you die and come back alive?

21
 BRODIE
Barely. What's going on here? Some sort of town meeting?

Brodie takes a coffee thermos from his jacket and walks with Charlie to the cadillac.

CHARLIE
Earl's wife called worried, when his husband didn't come back from his KKK
meeting. (spits on the ground) You have to see this, strangest shit I've ever seen.

Brodie pours himself a mug of coffee and wonders about the two hand shaped dents on the
cadillac's hood. Charlie points out the driver, burned to crisp driver, burned to the bone and death
gripping the steering wheel.

CHARLIE
Something burned him without burning the surroundings.
It's amazing that the whole car didn't burn down.

BRODIE
Spontaneous human combusting?

CHARLIE
Is that some slick city term for this?

BRODIE
Something like that. Is this all photographed?

CHARLIE
Yeah, rookie is taking photos. He's top of the hill. Try the handle, I dare you.

Brodie tries the door handle and gets a static shock, yanking his hand back and spilling his coffee.

BRODIE
Fuck! Goddamit, Charlie! That hurt.

22
 CHARLIE
(chuckle) I dared you. The whole car has somekind of static charge.

Brodie notices the burned and worn rear tires. Charlie spits on the ground and gestures to follow.

CHARLIE
This is nothing. You should see what is top of the hill. Come.

Brodie takes last glance of the burned corpse and follows Charlie top of the hill. There is another
opening and big charred cross, still standing. There's young deputy, wearing brown and round,
stratton hat, beige uniform. Taking photos with a big camera of the crime scene. Ground is littered
with dead Ku Klux Klan members, all burned black and skin cracked.

ROOKIE
Good morning, chief.

BRODIE
Good morning, trooper...Jesus! How many?

CHARLIE
15 bodies, the one from the car included. All shitbag racists, all cooked
from the inside, except that headless and naked motherfucker....

Brodie puts his coffee mug back in the thermos and looks at the big, headless man.

CHARLIE
…I have a wild theory. I say force of nature. Sudden thunder storm, localized
thunder storm forms above them and strikes them down like God's wrath.

BRODIE
(looks up) I've never seen a thunder lifting up a 170 pound man.

All look up and see one klansman impaled on the burned cross.

23
 BRODIE
And what were they shooting at?...

Brodie squats and picks up bullets that haven't hit anything. Then he sees footprints on the ground.

CHARLIE
What do you have there?

BRODIE
You see those footprints? Something came from the forest naked.

CHARLIE
Whoa, hold it there. I didn't know you were trained by
the Apache. It could also mean he wasn't wearing shoes.

Brodie gets up and walks in the swamp forest.

CHARLIE
Where are you going, Brodie?

BRODIE
I need to check something out.

JUMP CUT

Brodie and Charlie knee deep in the swamp, searching something. Charlie stops to wipe the sweat
from his forehead with a handkerchief.

CHARLIE
Fuck, it's hot! What are we looking for?

Brodie stops to think and look around. Swamp sees normal, with some alligators. Brodie sees fallen
tree it's roots charred from fire.

24
 CHARLIE
C'mon, there's nothing here. Let's go back before the gators eat both of our asses!

BRODIE
Yeah, let's go, it was probably nothing. Oh, we need to visit Stonecipher's farm.

11.EXT ALABAMA – STONECIPHER MORNING

T-Infinity drives a pink and white cadillac side of a highway and stops. He wears KKK robe, soaked
in blood. He looks across a white cotton field at Stonecipher's farm. His vision is violet and purple,
humans emit green, red, yellow and orange heat signatures. Eyes zoom at the burned down
farmhouse and people around it, like firefighters and Stonecipher talking to the police. T-I runs a lip
reading program, yellow HUD boxes translate what Stonecipher is saying into a mechanic voice.

STONECIPHER
(mechanic voice) I'm telling you the truth! I didn't burn my own house down!

On the Stonecipher's yard. Firefighters are taking their hoses and starting to leave. Stonecipher talks
to debuty sheriff Charlie, while sheriff Brodie walks on the charred remains of the farmhouse.

STONECIPHER
I was sleeping in my rocking chair, when gates of heaven opened and butt
naked negro angel came through it. Aren't you going to write any of this down?!

CHARLIE
”Gates of heaven” and ”negro angel”, I think I got the gist of it. I have a pretty good memory.

Brodie looks at the only wall still standing, charred black and big perfect round hole going through
it. Brodie moves his finger along the clean cut surface.

Desmond driving his red pick up when he sees the burned farmhouse.

DESMOND
What the...?

25
Desmond drives to the yard and stops behind the police car. Desmond walks casually rest of the
way to Stonecipher and Charlie.

DESMOND
What happened here?

CHARLIE
Des. You missed quite a show, if Mr. Stonecipher is to believe.

STONECIPHER
You have to!

CHARLIE
Where is she then? This negro angel that came from the light.

STONECIPHER
I told you! She ran away!

CHARLIE
So, she didn't fly away?

STONECIPHER
She didn't have wings!

DESMOND
Wa-Was she naked?

CHARLIE
Look at you, Des. I was starting to think you were queer or something.

STONECIPHER
Yes! She was butt naked, tits hanging in the wind!

Desmond gets a realization and backs away.

26
 DESMOND
Well...I should be going. Good luck with this.

BRODIE
Wait an minute!

Brodie comes back from the farmhouse ruins. Desmond stops on his tracks.

BRODIE
Did you see something last night, Des?

DESMOND
Me? No...Nothing. Why?

BRODIE
Some people got killed in Everglade swamp. Did you see anything unusual?

DESMOND
Killed? Why ask me? That place isn't anywhere near me.

BRODIE
You have that night job in the museum. Thought you could have seen something.

DESMOND
No, can't help you there.

BRODIE
That's a shame. Well, enjoy rest of the day, Mr. Silberman.

DESMOND
Yeah, thanks...you, too. May I ask, who got killed and how?

BRODIE
Earl and some town folk. I can't tell more.

27
T-Infinity follows from the distance. Sees Desmond leaving to his pick up. Brodie and Charlie talk
behind his back, lip reader translates.

CHARLIE
(machine voice) I don't know about you, but that boy was lying through his teeth.

BRODIE
(machine voice) Yeah, but about what?

12.INT ALABAMA – BOATHOUSE DAY

Blythe ties shoelaces of brown army boots, as she puts them on. She has already put green army
pants, then puts white army T-shirt over the maggot filled wound, and army fatigue shirt over it.
Blythe puts the flash drive in her breast pocket. She tries to stand up and moans from pain.

BLYTHE
C'mon, it's just a flesh wound.

Blythe makes her way to the door and tries to open it, but it's locked.

BLYTHE
Dammit, he locked it.

When Blythe looks at the handle, she sees cracks in the floor boards and through them motor boats
under the floor. She moves painfully to the next room, TAXIDERMIST ROOM. Stuffed animals fill
the room wall to wall, middle of it a table, on it a big stuffed wolf and lynxes, on the walls more
moose and deer heads, bears, hawks, ram sheeps. Other end are wooden stairs going up. Blythe
goes deeper in the room, taking a closer look at the animals. She sees a black telephone on a desk
and rushes to it. She sees on the round dialing system, next to the dials are numbers and letters, next
to zero reads OPERATOR. Blythe takes lifts up the phone and spins the zero.

OPERATOR
Operator, how may I direct your call?

28
 BLYTHE
Aa...I'm trying to reach Gordon T. Goddard.

OPERATOR
Is this a long distance call?

BLYTHE
Not sure...He should be living in New Orleans.

OPERATOR
Hold on....There is no Gordon T. Goddard listed in New Orleans.

BLYTHE
Gordon Thadeus Goddard.

OPERATOR
I'm sorry, there is no one with that name.

BLYTHE
Dammit....Thanks.

Blythe hangs up the phone, seemingly disappointed. Voice startles her.

DESMOND
Blythe!

Blythe yelps and turns around frightened and sees Desmond at the doorway, holding a shopping
paper bag.
BLYTHE
Desmond! You scared me.

DESMOND
What were you doing?

29
 BLYTHE
Just calling to my...folks, so they don't need to worry.

DESMOND
Are you an angel?

BLYTHE
No, are you Norman Bates?

DESMOND
Norman....Bates?

BLYTHE
You know, Psycho, shower scene, dead mother in the basement. Isn't it out yet?

DESMOND
You're a strange woman, Blythe.

BLYTHE
Heh, yeah, oh, di-did you bring the phone book?

DESMOND
Yes, here. (looks in the paper bag) And I picked you some bras...

BLYTHE
Bras?

DESMOND
Ye-yeah, I didn't know what would fit, when I-I didn't know the size of your...size of...your...

BLYTHE
Tits?

30
 DESMOND
...Breasts.

BLYTHE
(clears throat) Okay, this is getting little bit awkward.

DESMOND
But seriously, I was driving pass Stonecipher's farm and found it burned down.
Stonecipher had a very interesting story about a naked negro angel coming from a light.

BLYTHE
Negro angel? That's a very interesting choice of words.

DESMOND
Oh, no, he called you that...it was you, wasn't it?

BLYTHE
Maybe.

DESMOND
So, you are an angel.

BLYTHE
No, Desmond, I'm not an angel.

DESMOND
Of course you are! It was fate that we met on that road. You are here to CURE me.

BLYTHE
Cure you from what?

Suddenly purple flash and Desmond's red pick up truck explodes, shockwave breaks the windows to
pieces, making Blythe and Desmond duck and cover. Blythe quickly looks outside and see the pink
white cadillac speeding towards them. Desmond peeks out.

31
 DESMOND
My car?!

BLYTHE
Desmond, watch out!

Blythe pulls Desmond out of the way, when the pink cadillac crashes through the wall in the
taxidermist room. Stuffed wolf smashes against the windshield. Blythe and Desmond look inside
the car and see T-Infinity staring back.

BLYTHE
How!?

T-I's right arm glows purple and points at Blythe. Blythe pulls Desmond down on the floor.

BLYTHE
Get down!

T-I shoot out purple electricity that hits the phone and cuts the wall like welder's torch.

DESMOND
Wha-What's happening?!

BLYTHE
No time to explain! Come with me if you want to live!

Blythe kicks stuffed standing bear in the way of the electricity, setting it on fire and blinding T-I.
Blythe pulls Desmond up and both run up the stairs. T-I bashes the car door off the hinges and
stands up and fire more lightning bolts after Blythe and Desmond. Blythe and Desmond reach a
balcony. Blythe closes the door and jams the handle with a chair. Desmond is having somesort of
panic seizure.
DESMOND
M...My...animals!

32
 BLYTHE
The boats below! Do they work?

DESMOND
The screams! Oh my God! They are dying!

BLYTHE
What's wrong with you, Desmond!?

T-I jumps over the car hood and over the fire. Blythe goes to the balcony railing and looks down to
the river. Desmond is hyperventilating and pale. Blythe goes and takes Desmond from the collar
and throws him in the river. She jumps after him. T-I bashes the balcony door to pieces.

Blythe and Desmond are swimming in the river. Blythe pulls Desmond on the wooden pier, under
the house. Both hurry to get on the pier. T-I looks down from the balcony, hears and sees the water
moving and rushes back inside. Desmond hurries to untie the rope of the motorboat, while Blythe
tries to pull the starter handle of the engine.

T-I jumps top of the stairs on the crashed car, weight of the impact is enough to crash the car
through the floor boards, almost falling on Desmond and Blythe. Car's nose hits motorboat's nose,
giving it a nudge, while T-I rolls on the boat nose. Desmond screams and falls on his back. Blythe
takes a oar and bashes T-I in the head, breaking the oar to pieces and T-I falls in the water.

BLYTHE
Desmond! Start the engine!

DESMOND
Yo-You killed him!

BLYTHE
Start the fucking engine! Please!

Desmond rushes to pull the starter handle, the engine won't start. Water starts to glow purple and
violet, making Desmond wonder about it and stop. Blythe yells to him.

33
 BLYTHE
Desmond, hurry!

Desmond yanks the handle one more time, activating the engine. Blythe takes the steering wheel
and drives them away along the river. T-I's hand grabs the edge of the boathouse pier.

13.EXT ALABAMA – RIVER DAY

Blythe driving the motorboat, as Desmond sits back of the boat shocked.

DESMOND
Wha-what was that?

BLYTHE
A cyborg!

DESMOND
Cyborg? What is a cyborg?!

BLYTHE
Half human , half machine, living tissue over metal endoskeleton.

DESMOND
I...I don't understand.

BLYTHE
A robot disguised as a human. You know what a robot is, right?

DESMOND
Yes, Robby the robot from Forbidden Planet.

BLYTHE
I'm afraid this is more advanced and hostile than Robby the robot, Des.

34
Blythe happens to look behind her and sees another wooden motorboat coming after them. It's T-
Infinity, driving after them.

BLYTHE
Shit! Here he comes!

DESMOND
Okay, if he's a robot. What are you?

BLYTHE
Human from the future, we both are.

DESMOND
Future?! So, you're not an angel?

BLYTHE
Just a regular time traveler. Hold on!

River ahead of them split in two. Blythe turns the wheel hard to the right, as they go to the right
river. T-I is gaining them. T-I behind the wheel, he grabs the maxed throttle lever and sends purple
electricity through it to the engine, making the propeller spin faster, accelerating it.

Blythe wonders how the T-I is gaining them.

BLYTHE
How is he gaining us so fast!?

T-I fires from his fingers lightning at Blythe and Desmond, they duck down.

BLYTHE
Stay low!

Blythe sees ahead of them a low waterfall. T-I throws couple of lightning bolts. Desmond sees
where Blythe is taking them.

35
 DESMOND
You aren't seriously going to drive us towards that waterfall.

BLYTHE
Hold on to your glasses!

Blythe drives the motorboat over the waterfall and fly across the air and land hard. T-I's motorboat
goes over the waterfall with much faster speed, flying much further, over Blythe and Desmond.

DESMOND
Blythe! Above us!

Blythe yelps and makes a hard left, as T-I's motorboat lands next to them. T-I is about to fire another
bolt, when Blythe makes a hard right and ram into T-I's boat, making him miss and sets a row of
trees on the riverbank on fire.

BLYTHE
Is there any weapons onboard!?

DESMOND
No!

Old fisherman end of a wooden pier, sitting and fishing, he hears the motorboats and looks towards
the sound. Two incoming boats are coming towards him.

FISHERMAN
Oh, shoot!

Fisherman gets up and tries to dodge the boats, but T-I goes through the pier, cutting it in half.
Fisherman flies in the water. Blythe looks anything to use on the boat floor, she sees a tackle box
and plastic fuel container. Blythe shouts to Desmond.

BLYTHE
Des, take the wheel!

36
Desmond takes the wheel and Blythe goes to open the tackle box.

DESMOND
What are you going to do?!

BLYTHE
A bomb! Keep the boat steady!

Boats reach a wooden bridge that goes over the river, with multiple struts. Blythe opens the tackle
box, revealing metallic fishing bates and wire cutters. She removes the cork from the fuel canister,
places the fishing bates around the hole and shoves the wire cutter blades in the hole, jamming the
bate hooks around the hole. Motorboats pass the gaps of the bridge struts. Blythe stands up.

BLYTHE
C'mon! Shoot me!

T-I aims his fingers at Blythe, and arm glows. Blythe throws the fuel canister at T-Infinity, just as
the purple lightning bolts spew out of his fingers. Lightning hits the metallic bates and go along
them in the fuel tank, igniting and exploding in the face of T-I, his boat turns on fire and slows
down. Desmond glances behind him.

DESMOND
Wow! What did you do?!

BLYTHE
Fried his ass!

T-I drives the burning boat, his clothing on fire. T-I sees another motorboat far down the river and
smiles. Bright light and thundering sound, T-I disappears in a flash of light. Blythe notices how the
chasing boat slows down completely and T-I has disappeared.

BLYTHE
What the hell?! Where did he disappear?!

37
On the another motorboat, with two engines, man wearing checked shirt and captain hat, driving the
boat. Thundering sound and flash of light, scorched T-Infinity TELEPORTED behind the man.

BOATMAN
What the...

T-I backhand slaps the boatman overboard and takes his place, he grabs the throttle and pushes it to
the tilt. Twin propellers spin faster and boat gets moving.

Blythe goes next to the driving Desmond.

BLYTHE
Where did he go?

DESMOND
I know, look!

Blythe looks ahead of the them and sees in the distance T-I, driving another boat towards them.

BLYTHE
How the hell did he get there!?

DESMOND
You don't know!? Well, he's determined to play chicken with us.

T-I sends purple energy through the throttle in the engines, propellers once again spin super fast
speed. Two boats are in collision course. T-I has a determined look in his eyes, so has Desmond.
Blythe gets worried.

BLYTHE
Des, what are you doing? You're going to dodge first, right?...Desmond?

DESMOND
Get ready to...

38
Motorboats gets closer and closer, T-I and Desmond can see each other's eye balls.

DESMOND
...Jump!

Desmond and Blythe jump over the sides, T-I is surprised, boats collide into each other, motorboat
goes through T-I's boat's nose and through his head, splitting the boat in half, spinning propeller
blades hit T-I's face. T-Infinity flies into the water, and both boats break into hundreds of pieces.

Blythe and Desmond hit the water hard and sink. Sinking Blythe's back blackens the screen and this
takes us to another flashback.

14.EXT FLASHBACK 2029 MORNING

Back in 2029. Army compound near CRYSTAL PEAK, mountain middle of Nevada desert. Grid
fences and checkpoint. Black, self-driving SUV with a USA flag on the hood approaches the
compound. Senator John Connor and Blythe Dyson sitting back of the car. John wearing his suit
with American flag pin on the chest. Blythe has a gray business suit. She looks out the window.

BLYTHE
Crystal Peak...When are you going to tell me why we are here?

JOHN
Don't you like surprises?

BLYTHE
No, if the surprise is a candle light dinner, with bottle of champagne in bucket of ice.

JOHN
(chuckle) I'm happily married with Kate, thank you very much. You really don't trust people.

BLYTHE
Tabloids are telling a different story.

39
 JOHN
Don't worry, Blythe. I'm not trying to get in your pants.

John and Blythe change smiles. They reach the checkpoint. Military police officer goes to the back
window. John slides down the window. Soldier recognizes John Connor and salutes him.

MILITARY POLICE
Senator Connor, you're back so soon.

JOHN
Is Dr. Goddard here?

MILITARY POLICE
Yes, just follow the signs.

15.INT CRYSTAL PEAK – TUNNEL MORNING

The black SUV drives inside the tunnel of Crystal Peak mountain, blast doors wide open. SUV
reaches a underground hall filled with military vehicles. John and Blythe get out of the car. Blythe
looks around amazed. John gestures Blythe to follow.

JOHN
This way.

Blythe follows John to another blast door, next to it is a terminal. It has a keypad, handprint scanner
and iris scanner. John has to put in a nine digit code, hand on the scanner and laser scans the eye.

COMPUTER
(speaker) Access permitted. Welcome, John Connor.

Loud clunk and the blast door lifts up, alarms blaring. John smiles to Blythe.

JOHN
Easy money.

40
 BLYTHE
You have a quite a security here.

JOHN
When you see what we are keeping here, you'll understand why.

16.INT CRYSTAL PEAK – TIME CHAMBER MORNING

Heavy metal doors slide to the sides, revealing behind Blythe and John. John lets Blythe to go first
inside a very futuristic room. She is amazed what she sees inside the huge room. End of the room is
a huge round chamber, shaped like inside of an apple, round platform in the middle and dozen of
standing chrome rings surround it, metal drawbridge with floor lights go to the centre platform. It's
the TIME DISPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT. John follows Blythe in the room.

BLYTHE
Wha-What is it?

JOHN
It's the Time Machine.

BLYTHE
Time machine? You build a time machine? Why?

JOHN
Think about it, Blythe. What if there was a way to predict the future, to find out
what artificial intelligence does to our society, is it good, or is it bad. Here's the way.

BLYTHE
You can't be serious...This is the thing that started it all!

JOHN
I know. That's why I've been gathering all research on time travel in this room,
behind lock and key. Skynet might be gone, but someone was bound to invent
time travel around this time. I made sure it fell in my hands.

41
 BLYTHE
In your hands? This is too much power for one man.
If you have any sense, you'll destroy that thing!

JOHN
First time in my life, I don't know the future and it terrifies me.
I'm not going to be on this planet forever, and I need to know
that my children and mankind will be okay after I'm gone.

BLYTHE
You're not mankind's saviour anymore, John! You won. Let it go.
If you use that thing, you'll not be any different from Skynet.

JOHN
I'm not going to change anything! Skynet had limited vision how
to use this machine. I would use it for the benefit of all mankind.

BLYTHE
Of course you're gonna use it to change things, when you see a future you don't like!

John and Blythe are surprised how heated their conversation became and both calm down.

JOHN
Well, first I have to see the future. We have problems to go to the future.

BLYTHE
Time machine that doesn't go to the future, what a shame.

????
The problem is PREDESTINATION PARADOX.

Handsome young man in lab coat and CHRONOS indetification card around the neck. He walks in
and handshakes Blythe. John introduces him.

42
 JOHN
May I introduce you to Dr. Gordon Goddard.

BLYTHE
Blythe Dyson.

GORDON
Nice to meet you again, Ms. Dyson. We actually met three years ago
in science conference in Tokyo. You probably don't remember me.

BLYTHE
Of course...You were there talking about space-time continuum. Right?

Goddard moves to a computer terminal and types something and pop out holographic geometric
shapes and diagrams.

GORDON
Right. Mass or energy affects time. We all are mass going through time, as we talk.
This is the past and present. We can't go to the future because it hasn't happened yet.

JOHN
Oh, did I mention that he invented the time machine.

BLYTHE
Really. Does he know about...you know, judgment day.

GORDON
Connor has explained me eveything. First I thought he was nutty as fruitcake,
but his story actually helped me, like why only a living organism
can travel through time, nothing else goes through, not even clothes.

JOHN
Have you solved how we can go to the future?

43
Gordon types the computer keypad and pops out a holographic simulation about TWO time
machines, working together.

GORDON
Solution is simple. We need two TDE's.

JOHN
Two?! It was tough enough to build just one.

GORDON
It gets better. We need to build the other machine in the past. Let's say this time
machine here is time machine A, we build time machine B in the past. When B
is ready, traveler is send first to the past, meanwhile A goes through time by
just existing, this way traveler can go from B to A, any point in the future where
A exists. But we need Ms. Dyson's help.

BLYTHE
My help?

GORDON
This project needs calculations that even with the most powerful supercomputer it
would take even years, but with your PROTOTYPE AI, it would take only days.

BLYTHE
How did you...(to John) That's why you brought me here.

JOHN
Blythe, I need you to be part of this team. I need your guidance and your equipment.
You don't hold back with me when you see a problem, unlike the ass lickers in
Washington D.C. Help me to help you. Whaddaya say? Are you with me?

BLYTHE
I'm sorry, John, but I have to say....No.

44
17.EXT ALABAMA – RIVERBANK EVENING

Blythe opens her eyes, head deep in the wet sand of the riverbank. Blythe coughs out water and
takes a look at her surroundings. She sees only forest, she checks the golden flash drive in her breast
pocket, and then sees Desmond floating in the water, his face down.

BLYTHE
Desmond!

Blythe gets up and jumps back in the river. Blythe grabs Desmond and backstrokes him to the
shore. Blythe pulls Desmond on the sand and moans from pain because of her waist wound. She
taps Desmond cheek gently.

BLYTHE
Des? Desmond!

No reaction. Blythe opens Desmond's plaid jacket, revealing his mustard yellow shirt. Blythe starts
to give Desmond CPR, she gives chest compressions and blows in his mouth.

BLYTHE
1-2-3-4-5 (blow) 1-2-3-4-5 (blow) C'mon Des! (blow) 1-2-3-4-5 (blow) Des! Wake up!

Blythe starts to hit Desmond in the chest.

BLYTHE
Des! (hit) Don't you die on me! (hit)

Desmond spits water in the air, frightening Blythe. Desmond coughs water out. Blythe pushes him
on his side to ease the exiting of water.

BLYTHE
There you go, cough it all out.

Relieved Blythe lies next to Desmond and rest. Desmond gets all the water out of his system.

45
 DESMOND
Why were you hitting me?

BLYTHE
I was saving your life, dumbass.

DESMOND
Oh...thank you. My...My glasses...I don't see anything without my glasses.

BLYTHE
Don't worry, I'll be your eyes.

Blythe pulls up her fatigue jacket and white shirt, revealing the maggots and wound.

BLYTHE
Can I take these disgusting maggots off me already?

Shivering Desmond looks at Blythe and nods.

18.EXT ALABAMA – MILKY WAY DINER EVENING

Blythe and Desmond walking side by side towards 50's cafe, round building, filled with neon lights,
roof is like flying saucer, on that is a over the top neon sign that reads: MILKY WAY DINER,
following a flying star. Few cars are parked around it. Cafe building is like beacon of light midst of
the dark forest.

19.INT MILKY WAY DINER EVENING

Blythe and Desmond enter the 50's cafe, with checkerboard floors and red and white leather seats.
Old waitress behind the counter, wearing dress made from mint colors. She notices Blythe.

WAITRESS
Hey! Colored entrance is in the back.

46
 BLYTHE
Excuse me?!

White, middle class Americans turn to look at Blythe. Silence falls in the place.

DESMOND
(clears throat) Oh, she's with me, Maude. Give her a break.

Waitress goes back to business. Blythe shrugs it off and goes to sit at the counter. Waitress gasps
from seeing her sitting at the counter, and white people keep staring at Blythe. She doesn't
understand why the climate has become hostile. But Desmond does.

DESMOND
Blythe, you can't sit at the counter.

BLYTHE
Why?

DESMOND
Le-Let's go and sit in the booth. Trust me.

BLYTHE
Why? They are sitting at the counter.

Blythe points out three hat wearing white truckers, sitting at the counter.

DESMOND
Yeah...Because they are white.

BLYTHE
You can't be serious.

DESMOND
I'm afraid so. Let's not make a scene. C'mon.

47
Blythe turns around and looks at every people in the eyes, then she looks at the waitress.

BLYTHE
I can't wait for you experience the 60's. ”I Have a Dream”, I have a dream
that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed:
”We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal”.
You can thank Martin Luther King, that I won't Malcolm X your ass!

Waitress yelps and commotion of whispers start between people. Desmond forcefully removes
Blythe from the counter.

DESMOND
Sorry, sorry! She's just a crazy negro woman from the bayou!

BLYTHE
No, I'm not! Let me go, Des!

DESMOND
Maude, we will take coffee and two specials. Thanks.

Desmond moves struggling Blythe to the furthest booth. Group of greasers with their girlfriends
follow them afar, rockabilly look, greased back hairs and leather jackets.

BUDDY
Duke...Isn't that the chicken shit, Dessie?

DUKE
No fucking way.

Desmond gets Blythe to sit down and sits opposite of her, back towards the greasers.

BLYTHE
What are you doing?!

48
 DESMOND
Saving you. You can't...do that.

BLYTHE
Do what?! Stand my ground. Color of your skin shouldn't be your fate.

DESMOND
Is...Is it better for your people in the future?

BLYTHE
Your People!?

DESMOND
I-I didn't mean anything bad by it! Jesus, it's like walking on eggshells with you.

BLYTHE
What are you doing here, Desmond? You don't belong here. You seem out of place.

DESMOND
I do? It's a...long story. Why are you here?

BLYTHE
I'm looking for someone.

DESMOND
Who?

Two hand bash on their table, frightening Desmond. It's greaser Duke, Confederate flag shirt under
the leather jacket.

DUKE
Boom! (laughter)

Blythe is confused to see Desmond again getting a fit. Duke forces himself next to Desmond, four

49
more greasers follow Duke. Buddy forcefully sits next to Blythe. Duke teases Desmond.

DUKE
Whar are you doing here, Dessie?

DESMOND
Do-don't call me that!

DUKE
Oh, what are nicknames between friends.

DESMOND
We are not friends!

DUKE
Why do you have to be a such a downer! Who's the spook? You trying to impress
her by pretending to be a tough guy. Only color pussy for cowards, is that it?

Waitress yells from the counter.

WAITRESS
Duke, I don't want any trouble!

DUKE
Get back to the kitchen, bitch!

Waitress is offended and rushes to the kitchen. Buddy keeps his eyes on unnerved Blythe.

DESMOND
I'm not co-coward.

DUKE
Oh, yes you are, Dessie the sissy.

50
Duke pulls out a switch blade and snap out the blade front of Desmond, frightening him.

BLYTHE
Leave him alone!

DUKE
Woah, she speaks. Sorry to break it for you, but your boyfriend is not a man.

BLYTHE
He's more of a man than you are.

DUKE
She doesn't know. Did Dessie tell you his war stories? Medic in the war.
He didn't last long, after three days he got himself crazy papers and
came back home, brought great shame for his family. Shell shock my ass.

Desmond and Blythe change glances.

BLYTHE
It's PTSD, postraumatic stress disorder. It's a legit mental disorder
that can developed when person is exposed to a traumatic event.

Greasers look each other, confused by Blythe. Duke points his knife at Blythe.

DUKE
Boys, I think we have here a exceptional negro, trying to sound smart.

BLYTHE
I'm Doctor Blythe Dyson, director of advance projects of Cyberdyne systems. What
have you done lately, combing your hair with motor oil and fucking your cousins?

DUKE
Can you believe this bitch!? Take her!

51
Buddy tries to grab Blythe, she bites him in the forearm. Buddy screams.

DESMOND
Leave her alone!

Duke elbow hits Desmond in the nose. Buddy grabs Blythe from the hair. Blythe takes metallic
napkin holder and bashes it on Buddy's head. Buddy is stunned. Soon rest three guys go and drag
Blythe out of her seat, kicking and screaming.

BLYTHE
No, no, no! (scream) Let go of me!

Blythe is finally hold by all four guys. Duke gets up and waves his blade front of defiant Blythe.

DUKE
Let's see how you smart mouth me when I slice it open
ear to ear, and we show your ass some southern comfort.

DESMOND
Hey, Duke!

Duke turns around and Desmond spews full can of ketchup in his face. Duke gets blinded and
Desmond punches him in the face so hard he falls on the checkerboard floor. Switchblade falls on
he floor and Desmond takes it, points it at the greasers, as his nose bleeds.

DESMOND
Let her go!

All four greasers pull out switch blades and snap out the blades. Desmond gets worried.

DUKE
Wait!

Duke wipes the ketchup from his face, gets up and pulls out a revolver. He aims at Desmond.

52
 DUKE
You chose the wrong fucking time to grow balls!

BLYTHE
No! Don't shoot him!

Familiar voice shouts behind Desmond.

BRODIE
Put the gun down, kid!

Duke looks over the shoulder of Desmond and sees sheriff Brodie, pointing his chrome revolver.

DUKE
Sheriff , this doesn't concern you! This is between me and this negro lover!

BRODIE
No, this is between you and me, Duke. Drop your weapons and let the girl go.

DUKE
You won't shoot me.

BRODIE
Charlie, do you have them in your sight?

Greasers turn to look a see debuty Charlie behind them, pointing at them with a revolver.

CHARLIE
Yup, like fish in a barrel.

BRODIE
Let's make deal, Duke. You all drop your weapons and you can go back to your
table and finish your meal. Or we'll have a shoot-out of biblical proportions, and
I swear it won't end well for you. Desmond, why won't you show them example.

53
Desmond slowly drops the knife. Greasers watch what Duke does next. Duke grins and drops the
revolver. Greasers drop the knives and let go Blythe.

20.EXT ALABAMA - MILKY WAY DINER EVENING

Brodie brings handcuffed Blythe and Charlie handcuffed Desmond out of Milky Way Diner.

BLYTHE
Why are you arresting us?! They started the whole thing!

BRODIE
In the interest of public safety.

BLYTHE
You gotto be kidding me!

Brodie puts Blythe back of the police car, and Charlie puts Desmond back of the car. Brodie gets in
the driver seat and Charlie next to him. Police car rushes away of the diner.

21.EXT ALABAMA – RIVER EVENING

Dark river next of a sandy riverbank. Violet and purple glow starts to glow from under the surface
and moves slowly at the riverbank. T-Infinity's head pops out of the water, slowly walking out of
the water, as seen from behind, we don't see his face. KKK robe is scorched and living tissue over it
burned. Purple lightnings from the body hit the water time to time and illuminate the environment.

22.EXT ALABAMA- MILKY WAY DINER NIGHT

Shadowy figure of T-Infinity walks towards the Milky Way Diner and its neon lights. Duke, Buddy
and other greasers are hanging around their hot rod cars front of the diner. One of the greasers see
the big T-I coming across the street.

GRESER 1
Duke, look at that!

54
Duke and greasers turn to look at the stranger and are bewildered by his appearance.

DUKE
What he fuck happened to your face?!

T-I stops front of the small Duke. T-I's flesh face is cut through by the propeller blade, piece of nose
is missing and cheek below the left eye, metal of the endoskeleton shines through.

T-INFINITY
Where is Blythe Dyson? I wish to see her.

DUKE
Hey, I think you have bigger problems. You should go and check that out. (chuckle)

T-I suddenly grabs Duke from the throat and lifts him up.

T-INFINITY
I ask again, where is Blythe Dyson?

DUKE
(gurgle) Help me, guys! Get this crazy negro off me!

Five greasers go and grab T-I, trying to topple him and release Duke. Suddenly they all get blow
away by purple electricity, flying left and right, getting knocked out. T-I takes another look at Duke.

DUKE
(gurgle) The-They took her! The sheriff! Arrested them!

T-I runs a LIE DETECTOR PROGRAM, getting 98% probability that he's telling the truth.

T-INFINITY
Thank you. Now give me your flesh.

Duke looks in horror how T-Infinity's infinity symbol glows in the forehead, building up power.

55
 DUKE
What?! What the hell are you!? (scream)

T-I's infinity symbol shoots out a blue beam of the MOLECULE ASSEMBLER, light sucks Duke's
face like dust by a vacuum cleaner, as millions atoms are transfered in T-I. Duke is dropped on the
asphalt, his face smoking and missing, skeleton face, jaws moving and making gurgling sounds,
indicating he's still alive.

JUMP CUT

T-I moves towards one of the parked hot rods, it has exposed V8 engine, eight exhaust pipes curve
out of the engine, flames painted on the black sides, mean looking vehicle. We don't see T-I's face,
he has changed his clothes in greaser's leather jacket and jeans. T-I gets in the car and discovers a
rockabilly woman, with curvy black hair and red bandana, looking outside.

ROCKABILLY GIRL
Did you hear thunder moment ago?...

Girl looks at T-I and screams. T-I has fixed the living tissue on his face, but left eye has turned
crystal blue. T-I calmly says to the girl.

T-INFINITY
Get out.

Girl screams and gets out of the car. T-I closes the door and checks his face on the rear view mirror,
fuzzy dice dangle from it. He sees black sunglasses on the dashboard and takes them on his nose. T-
I reverses the hot rod from the parking slot and speeds away. Rockabilly girl finds faceless Duke
and screams.

23.EXT ALABAMA – HIGHWAY NIGHT

Desmond and Blythe sitting back of the police car. Brodie driving and Charlie next to him.
Desmond is absent minded, looking out the window. Blythe looks at him worried.

56
 DESMOND
I'm not a coward.

BLYTHE
Of course you're not.

DESMOND
I'm more...sad. Every evening I prayed, tried to get guidance, make this feeling
to go away, these dark thoughts, before I would do something...permanent.

BLYTHE
That's what you wanted me to cure...You shouldn't be alone.
Don't you have anybody to talk to? Don't you have a friend?

DESMOND
I have intimacy problems with other people.

BLYTHE
Of course you have, when you're living middle of nowhere. Any family?

DESMOND
Yeah, but they don't want to see me. My father wanted me to continue
family's military career, everything else was...disappointing.

BLYTHE
I don't have a father...He died long time ago, damn, he's not even
born yet. I would give anything to have a one more day with him.
You should try and rekindle the relationship with your father.

DESMOND
You don't know my father.

BLYTHE
I know you.

57
24.INT ALABAMA - DADEVILLE – SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT NIGHT

Charlie and Brodie bring Blythe and Desmond in Dadeville's sheriff's department. Middle aged,
ginger woman at the reception desk, big radio equipment next to her. She's wearing a headset and
polka dot dress.

CHARLIE
Hazel, look, we caught Stonecipher's angel from negro heaven.

HAZEL
I'm not impressed.

Charlie laughs and removes Desmond's handcuffs.

CHARLIE
You may not know this, but your home burned down.

DESMOND
Yeah, I know.

Brodie takes Blythe towards the interrogation room. Hazel shouts after Brodie.

HAZEL
Sheriff, don't you want to book her?

BRODIE
No. I'll handle this personally.

DESMOND
Hey, where are you taking her?! She's innocent!

CHARLIE
Don't worry about her, Des. Brodie just asks couple of questions.
Let's take some coffee and talk. You can stay here for the night.

58
25.INT SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT – INTERROGATION ROOM NIGHT

In the closed interrogation room. Brodie removes Blythe's handcuffs.

BRODIE
Go and sit down.

BLYTHE
Am I under arrest?

BRODIE
Nope.

BLYTHE
Then can I go?

BRODIE
No. Sit down. I want to ask you couple of questions. Please.

Blythe sighs and goes to sit at the square table. Brodie takes off his cowboy hat and puts it on the
table and sits opposite of Blythe.

BRODIE
So, are you an angel?

BLYTHE
(deep sigh) Not this again! No, I'm not an angel.

BRODIE
If you didn't drop from heaven, where did you come from?

BLYTHE
San Francisco. I'm just passing through.

59
 BRODIE
Tell me, what a pretty girl like you is doing in a place like this,
running around naked and burning down people's homes.

BLYTHE
As you see, I'm not naked, and I haven't burned anything down. Can I go now?

BRODIE
Those aren't exactly your clothes, Blythe.

BLYTHE
Wait...I didn't tell you my name.

Brodie grins and leans over the table.

BRODIE
You don't recognize me, do you? Look me in the eyes.

BLYTHE
It...It can't be...Goddard?

GORDON
It has been very long time, Dr. Dyson.

INTERCUT OFFICES

Open offices behind the reception and Hazel. Desmond is sitting next of Charlie's desk and drinking
from a mug. Charlie walks to him with a mug and offers with other hand smokes.

CHARLIE
You wanna smoke?

DESMOND
No, thanks...Maybe I should go after her.

60
 CHARLIE
Relax, Des. You're tense all the time. You have to learn to cool off sometimes.
(lights up smoke) You're quite protective of her. Are you poking her?

DESMOND
What?! No!

CHARLIE
There's nothing to be ashamed. I'm glad you're getting some action. You
know what they say, once you go black, you'll never come back, eh.(chuckle)

DESMOND
I...I...It's nothing like that!

CHARLIE
You better explain how is it, because your colored
not girlfriend is a prime suspect for murder and arson.

Desmond is shocked and looks down.

DESMOND
She's not a murderer.

INTERCUT INTERROGATION ROOM

Blythe and Gordon Goddard in the interrogation room.

BLYTHE
I saw you a week ago. How are you...so...

GORDON
Old? The great experiment failed. We didn't end up in 1950's. We ended up in the 1920's.

61
 BLYTHE
But we received the message in the TIME CAPSULE,
that you arrived safely, that second TDE is ready in 1959.

GORDON
There must be a mistake. I didn't send that message.

BLYTHE
What do you mean? You have the time machine ready, right?

GORDON
Aren't you listening. We dropped in the wrong time. If it worked,
we would've come back already. By the way, why are you here?

BLYTHE
We got attacked by machines from the future...

GORDON
From the future?

BLYTHE
Yes. We were caught by surprise, totally...It was like any other day.

INTERCUT FLASHBACK 2029

Cyberdyne robotics lab. Blythe's smart phone rings on her monitor desk. Blythe's hand grabs it.

BLYTHE
John! You went too far. You bypassed me and talked
to my superiors! I want my AI brain back! You hear me!?

JOHN
Listen, Blythe! Whole country is under a huge cyber attack.
Someone is trying to find out about me, Goddard and you!

62
 BLYTHE
Wha-What does that mean? Are we in danger?

JOHN
I expect the worse. Get in your car and drive to Crystal Peak, don't stop for anything.

BLYTHE
John, are you little bit overreacting.

JOHN
Crystal Peak is the safest place for us all. Trust me. I'll meet you there.

Air gets electrified, phone connection gets affected. Blythe gets only static and crackle.

BLYTHE
John?...John?

Blythe feels how breeze of wind goes pass her. Electricity and lights act strangely, liquid bubble
forms middle of the robotics hall, shooting lightning all over the place. Blythe is petrified by the
sight. Bubble dissipates, revealing a squating big, naked, black man, it's the T-Infinity. T-I rises up
and turns to look at Blythe, as lights flicker. Infinity symbol on the forehead shines and fades away.
T-I's hand shines purple and he aims at Blythe. Blinding purple lightning flash.

INTERCUT INTERROGATION ROOM

GORDON
Blythe...Blythe! What happened?

Blythe snaps out of the flashback and looks at Goddard.

BLYTHE
I escaped here just before Crystal Peak was destroyed. John gave me this...

Blythe takes from his breast pocket the golden flash drive.

63
 BLYTHE
...All the data concerning time travel is in this drive. John said you could help me.

GORDON
I don't work for John Connor anymore. I haven't for a long time.

BLYTHE
Senator Connor is...dead...and soon I'll be too, if you don't help me.

GORDON
The other time traveler?

BLYTHE
You know about him?!

INTERCUT OFFICES

Charlie and Desmond at the office desk.

CHARLIE
(chuckle) You're saying that time travelling cyborg burned your place? What the hell is a cy-borg?

DESMOND
It...it's like...like...Robbie the robot from the inside and outside a human.

Hazel at the radio and phone of the reception. She gets a call and pushes the answer button.

HAZEL
Dadeville Sheriff's department. How can I help you?

ROCKABILLY GIRL
Oh, God! He ate his face off! He killed them all! You need to send someone!

64
 HAZEL
Clam down, miss! What happened and where?

ROCKBILLY
Milky way diner! I don't know! This big, bald,
colored man, 6 feet tall, he stole their car and clothes!

At the same time the glass doors of the sheriff's department are opened by sunglasses wearing T-I
and walks to the reception desk. Hazel looks awe at the big man, matching the description. Hazel
puts the call on hold.

HAZEL
Hold on.

T-INFINITY
I'm here to see Blythe Dyson. I'm her friend. May I see her, please.

HAZEL
Just a second...Charlie!

Charlie leaves Desmond and moves across room. Desmond is out of sight of T-I, behind a concrete
column. Charlie reaches the reception desk and sees the big guy.

CHARLIE
Is there a problem here?

T-INFINITY
I'm searching for Blythe Dyson. May I see her, please.

Charlie notices how Hazel tries to communicate with him with her eyes and subtle nods.

CHARLIE
Yeah...Who-who are you? I've never seen you before.

65
 T-INFINITY
I'm Mr. Friendly. Can I see her, please?

CHARLIE
Listen Mr. Friendly... You know, actually, now that I think of it. She left just a moment ago.

T-I runs lie detection program and gets a result of 95% probability that he's lying. T-I with right
finger shoots a purple lightning to the radio equipment and it explodes to pieces, electrocuting
Hazel through the headphones. Desmond is alarmed.

INTERCUT INTERROGATION ROOM

Goddard and Blythe in the interrogation room are alarmed by the commotion.

INTERCUT RECEPTION

Charlie tries to pull out his revolver.

CHARLIE
What the fuck?!!

T-I shoots purple lightning through the gun in Charlie, gun fires in the floor. Charlie's flesh gets
cooked and flies from the jolt across the room. Alarmed Desmond rushes under the office table's leg
space, scared out of his mind. T-I walks in the open offices and looks around mechanic way.
Desmond tries to hold his breath. T-I moves to a hallway. Deputy in next room tries to investigate
the commotion. T-I sees him through the wall and puts his hand on the door handle. When deputy
grabs the handle, powerful electric jolt throws him across the room with a loud yelp.

Door next of T-I opens. T-I pulls out the handle from the door. As another deputy comes to the
hallway, T-I shoves the handle through the deputy and lifts him up with one hand. T-I checks the
room, as deputy bleeds on him, and then throws the dead officer back in the room and closes the
door.

Desmond peeks from the corner of the table, T-I is gone. Desmond on all fours crawls across the

66
room, trying to be low as the tables.

Gordon Goddard puts back on his cowboy hat and moves to the door, chrome revolver pulled out.
Fearful Blythe stands up.

BLYTHE
It's him.

GORDON
Stay back.

Gordon open the door slowly and peeks at the empty hallway. He can hear the distant radio making
sparks and crackle, as it dies. T-I walks pass a hallway intersection. Gordon closes the door fast and
silently before the killer machine sees him. Gordon looks at Blythe.

GORDON
Big, bald guy?

BLYTHE
That's him.

GORDON
Okay, we're leaving. Follow me.

Goddard opens the door again carefully and gestures Blythe to follow him.

T-I walks to a metal door and opens it, revealing a fuse box. T-I touches the fuse box, sending
electric shock through the system, blowing out the fuses. The whole station goes dark.

Desmond yelps on the floor, frightened by the sudden darkness.

Gordon and Blythe move against the wall.

T-I switches his view to green night vision and continues the search.

67
Gordon shows Blythe finger front of the mouth, suggesting to be silent. Gordon and Blythe go
around a corner and sneak through the hallway.

T-I goes to the front door and uses his finger on the seam and welds the door shut.

Desmond still crawls on the floor. Gordon and Blythe move to the lobby and see the radio
equipment burning and illuminating the lobby. Gordon sees the welded shut front door.

GORDON
(whisper) Shit.

BLYTHE
(whisper) Tell me there's another way out from here.

GORDON
(whisper) Emergency exit back of the holding cells. Follow me, stay low.

Gordon and Blythe go pass the reception, moving low as possible. Gordon sees Hazel's electrocuted
body on the floor, but he bravely moves on. Gordon comes across Charlie's dead body, his veins
black and burned under the skin. Gordon checks his pulse and takes his gun and gives it to Blythe.

BLYTHE
(whisper) No...I...I don't use guns.

GORDON
(whisper) You're a scientist, you'll figure it out.

Blythe takes the revolver. Gordon sees T-I coming back in the open offices. Gordon and Blythe
move behind a desk. T-I stops and looks around, slowly to the left and then to the right. Gordon
gestures to Blythe to follow him under the desks. Gordon crawls under the desks and Blythe
follows. T-I goes across the offices, while Gordon and Blythe go opposite direction. Silent T-I
disappears behind a corner.

Gordon and Blythe crawl other side of the room, as Gordon goes around the corner, he stumbles on

68
Desmond. Gordon quickly covers Desmond's mouth and shows him the silence sign. Desmond nods
that he understands. All three move to the holding cells. They reach the emergency exit pass three
barred cells. Blythe notices a sign on the metal door that reads: EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY.
ALARM WILL SOUND WHEN DOOR IS OPENED. Gordon grabs the handle.

BLYTHE
(whisper) Wait, wait, wait, what about that?

GORDON
(whisper) Power is out, it won't ring.

DESMOND
(whisper) Are you sure?

Gordon looks unsure and looks around. He sees a red, full steel fireaxe.

GORDON
(whisper) Des, get me that fireaxe.

Desmond goes and gets the fireaxe and brings it to Gordon.

GORDON
(whisper) OK, when I open this door, run to the police car in which we
came, it's left, around the corner. Okay? On three...one...two...THREE!

Gordon opens the door and bell start to alarm loudly. Blythe and Desmond run out.

T-I whips it's neck and runs in his vision the sound tracking program and calculates the location.

Gordon closes the door and jams the handle by putting the fireaxe under it and runs away.

T-I runs through the brick walls, glass offices, through wooden desks and doors like one man
bulldozer. T-I reaches the holding cells and runs towards the emergency exit.T-I bashes against the
metal door. Fireaxe sinks in the concrete from the other side. T-I has to struggle to get it open.

69
Blythe and Desmond reach the police car front of the sheriff's department, Desmond goes to the
back, Blythe next of the driver seat. Gordon runs and gets in the driver seat.

T-I suddenly gives up and looks at the general direction of the front yard. He runs back.

Gordon is starting the car, when T-Infinity leaps through the station's window and lands on the hood
of the car, hitting and cracking the windshield. Blythe and Desmond start to scream.

BLYTHE
Start the car! START the CAR!!

Gordon starts the car, as T-I gets ready to punch through the windshield. Gordon puts on the reverse
and pushes down the gas. T-I flies off the hood and rolls on the hard asphalt. Police car reverses
through a Sheriff's department sign, breaking it down, reaching the main road of the town. T-I gets
up and fires purple lightning towards the speeding away sheriff's car. Lightning licks the side of the
car. Blythe notices that the door handle metal shines.

BLYTHE
Don't touch the metal! Avoid touching any metal on the car or you get fried!

Gordon avoids touching the metal on the wheel and on the shift gear, as he chages gear and spins
the car around and drive away. T-I stops shooting purple lightning and runs few meters after the car.
T-I makes a deadly stare and turns back towards his hot rod.

26.EXT ALABAMA – HIGHWAY NIGHT

Sheriff's car speeds along the dark highway, piercing the dense Alabama forest. Gordon drives,
Blythe next to him, Desmond in the back.

GORDON
What the hell was that?! And don't say it was a terminator!

BLYTHE
It was a terminator.

70
 GORDON
How is that possible?! I thought Skynet was destroyed.

BLYTHE
Maybe Skynet didn't send this one.

Gordon looks at the rear-view mirror and sees a hot rod speeding after them.

GORDON
We aren't out of the woods yet, here he comes!

Blythe and Desmond look behind them.

BLYTHE
We need rubber! (to Gordon) Do you have rubber?

GORDON
Condoms?

BLYTHE
No! Rubber gloves for insulation. You must have some for handling evidence.

GORDON
Yeah, you're right! Desmond, pull down the seat and take
out a box of rubber gloves from the trunk, and a shotgun.

DESMOND
Yes, sir!

Desmond pulls down the seat to access the trunk.

T-I drives the hot rod with certain intensity. He touches the keyhole and sends purple electricity in
the engine. V8 engine gets accelerated, eight exhaust pipes on the sides shoot out violet flames, and
wheels spin and shoot sparks like firecrackers glued to the tires.

71
Gordon, Blythe and Desmond put rubber gloves in their hands.

BLYTHE
Remember, car's carpets are made from rubber, keep your feet on it.

Blythe throws her pistol in the glove compartment. Gordon notices this.

GORDON
What are you doing?

BLYTHE
Give me your gun!

GORDON
I'm not giving you my gun!

BLYTHE
Dammit! Metal conducts electricity! Weapons are useless against that thing!

Desmond looks worried at the shotgun in his lap. T-I's super charged hot rod collides back of the
police car, Blythe, Desmond and Gordon wobble around. Hot rod bumbs again into the rear. T-I
extends out his left hand shoots purple electricity back of the police car.

GORDON
Dammit! Des, use the shotgun and shoot back!

Desmond is about to open the window when Blythe stops him.

BLYTHE
No! Don't open that window!

GORDON
So we can shoot the car!

72
 BLYTHE
Look! Glass insulates electricity!

GORDON
Fuck!

Gordon tries to keep the hot rod behind them, as it tries to get next to them. T-I changes tactics and
moves more energy in the huge back tires, lifting up the small front wheels. Front tire crashes
through the back window, Desmond yelps and ducks down.

BLYTHE
Desmond!?

Gordon sees a gas station next of a intersection. Gordon spins the wheel hard to the right. Hot rod
slips from the trunk and spins around like fidget spinner along the highway, while police car slides
towards a green pick up and man fueling the car.

FARMER
What the hell?!

Farmer man runs to safety, when police car slides against his pick up, colliding with it. Fuel pump
flies on the ground and spils fuel on the ground. Gordon pushes pedal on the metal and towards
truck at the truck stop. Farmer comes back and looks confused. Hot rod comes behind the gas
station tires screaming and shooting purple spark and flames. Farmer screams and leaps out of the
way, as hot rod goes under the station roof, next of the pumps, igniting the fuel. The fuel station
explodes after the hot rod. T-I isn't fazed by it.

Gordon drives them between trucks. T-I shoots from the window purple lightnings that bounce
between the trucks and skimming sheriff's car. Gordon gets blinded by the bright lightning for a
moment. When Gordon sees again, all three scream from driving up a ramp and towards a trailer
full of hay cubes. Lightning bolt hits and blows the hay on fire. Police car leaps through the burning
hay that explodes like wall of fire.

27.EXT ALABAMA – DRIVE IN THEATRE NIGHT

73
Fully packed drive in theatre, row and row of 50's classic cars, almost in every car are young teens
out on a date, watching black and white car chase between cops and robbers. Suddenly the movie
screen explodes and sheriff's car flies through it with a debris of fire. Teens scream from fright.

JOCK'S GIRLFRIEND
(scream) It's REAL?!

Police car lands on the cars and drive on them. Gordon, Blythe and Desmond bounce up and down.
Teens try to evade the rooftop crushing police car. T-I's hot rod flies out of the movie screen,
landing on the cars, huge rear tires crush the cars into pancakes. Chase continues on the cars. Teens
get out of their cars ahead of the police car and hot rod. Police car gets on the ground and head
towards the neon illuminated front gate, over it a big colorful neon sign that reads: SKY VIEW
DRIVE-IN THEATRE.

Hot rod falls on the ground from the crushed cars, T-I peeks again from the window and fires purple
lightning bolt after the police car, as it goes through the gate, pass the ticket booth and ticket girl.
Lightning hits the neon lights and electricity moves up the lights to the sign and it explodes in bright
sparks. Ticket girl jumps out of the ticket booth, as hot rod goes through it and curves left to follow
Gordon, Blythe and Desmond.

GORDON
Is it still after us?!

DESMOND
Yeah!

GORDON
Fuck! We need backup.

Gordon takes the police radio. Blythe follows this confused.

GORDON
This should stir up the hornet's nest. (to radio) Calling all units, this is sheriff Brodie
in high-speed chase on route 280, towards Alexander City. Suspect is a negro male,

74
 (MORE)
driving a black ”hot rod”, flames on the sides. I need immediate assistance. Over!

Gordon hangs up the radio.

INTERCUT STREET BILLBOARD

Next to a roadside billboard of PEPSI COLA, alone police car puts on the sirens and drive out from
hiding, pedal on the metal.

INTERCUT ROUTE 280

Hot rod is far behind the sheriff's car, but is gaining them fast, engine roaring. They speed pass the
Alexander City sign. T-I again touches the ignitor and sends purple energy in the engine. Hot rod
accelerates again.

GORDON
(to Desmond) Shoot back!

Desmond uses the shotgun and shoots through the broken back window at the hot rod. Shotgun
pellets hit the car's nose and windshield. T-I's glowing hand comes from the window and fires
lightning bolts. Blythe and Desmond duck down, Gordon yanks the steering wheel and car avoids
the lightning strike. Two police cars speed on the side of the hot rod, but can't keep up. Gordon sees
the blaring police cars.

GORDON
Here comes the backup! Hang on!

Gordon pushes down the brakes. T-I is caught by surprise and hot rod collides back of the sheriff's
car. Tires smoke, as Gordon pushes down the brakes.

BLYTHE
What are you doing, Goddard?!

75
 GORDON
Des, shoot at the engine belt! Now!

Desmond acts fast, lock and loads and shoots the V-belt from the V8 engine.

DESMOND
(nervous chuckle) I hit it!

Gordon pushes the pedal to the metal and drive away. T-I slightly panics when torgue gauge drops
to zero, hot rod slows down. Police cars reach it and yell from the speakers.

COP 1
(speaker) Stop the car now!

T-I glances the one in the left and yanks the steering wheel to ram the police car into a mailbox. T-I
ignores the other police car and punches through the dashboard and sends more energy in the
engine, beltless pulleys start to spin like from magic and torgue gauge starts to slowly rise.

Sheriff's police car and chased hot rod reach the Alexander City. Desmond looks back.

DESMOND
I don't believe it! He's again gaining us!

BLYTHE
What?!

GORDON
Okay, that's it! (takes the radio) This is sheriff Brodie. I need a
roadblock end of Cherokee road, suspect is heading there. Over!

BLYTHE
Why are you blocking our road?!

76
 GORDON
It's not for us, it's for him!

Two more police cars join the chase. Civilian cars start to come in the way. Gordon maneuvers pass
them gracefully. T-I forces them off the road. Gordon drives through a intersection of traffic lights
that turn red. Black cadillac eldorado tries to go over the intersection when T-I's speeding hot rod
hits it in the side, tearing metal, making it spin along the street.

Gordon and Blythe see four police cars forming a roadblock, officers take out their revolvers and
shotguns and take cover behind the cars.

GORDON
Okay, this is! Get ready to hold on! I mean it, hold the fuck on!

BLYTHE
Wha-what are you going to do!?

T-I is almost behind Gordon's car, all eight exhausts pipes flaming. Desmond puts on seatbelts.
Gordon makes an sudden turn to a side street, hot rod tries to do the same, but there's so much speed
that tires slide along the street towards the roadblock. Police officers open fire at the hot rod, hitting
the tires, tires explode and the car flips violently. From the car comes a flash of light and thunder, as
T-Infinity teleports away. Flipping hot rod hits the police cars and explode.

Thunder bolt hits the roof above Gordon, Blythe and Desmond. Something heavy landed on the
roof. Suddenly T-Infinity's fist comes through the roof, middle of Gordon and Blythe. All scream. T-
I's hand glows for a lightning charge, Blythe works fast and takes the rubber carpet from the floor
and wraps it around T-I's arm and holds it.

BLYTHE
Des, shoot it!

Desmons lock and loads, firing buckshots through the roof at the T-I. T-I's hand fires lightning
through the carpet funnel, small lightning hits Gordon's sidearm, making it shoot through the floor.

77
 GORDON
Jesus Christ!

Gordon comes to a intersection and makes a hard right turn. T-I's body slips from inertia on the side
of car, still holding from the ceiling hole. Gordon sees a incoming bus and steers the car towards it.
T-I hits the nose of the bus and rips half of the car's roof, demolishing the police lights and speaker,
as he falls off. Police car skims the side of the bus, shooting out sparks, grinding the side, as it
passes it by. Gordon, Blythe and Desmond get away. Desmond looks amazed at the roof breach.

Bus stops and the driver comes out to look at the lying T-I. Passengers move to the windows of the
bus to look.

BUS DRIVER
Hey! Are you OK?

T-I starts to move and gets on all fours and struggles to stand up, sunglasses are smashed on the
street. Bus driver's eyes turn huge from seeing T-I's damaged, sleeveless and elongated right arm. T-
I looks how the right hand fixes itself from the inside, contracting and adjusting back to normal.
Scared bus driver runs back in the bus. T-I shows emotions of frustration and starts to yell from
anger. He spreads his arms and shoots lightnings all ove the place, street lamps explode, tranformers
explode, bus lights explode, shop's neon lights explode from the overcurrent. T-I calms down and
half of the town has gone dark.

Police cars drive to the scene sirens blaring and quickly surround T-I. Police officers come out from
the cars, weapons ready and aim at the smoking T-Infinity, lowering his arms.

COP 2
Put hands back of your head and get down on the ground!! Do it!

T-I's infinity symbol glows on his forehead, he takes a step towards the officers.

COP 2
Get down on the ground! This is your final warning!

78
T-I takes another step. Light bulb in a street lamp explodes.

COP 2
Take him out!

Dozen police officers fire at the T-I with revolvers and shotguns, round after round. Cops stop
shooting after a while and are amazed. Passengers in the bus rise to windows and their eyes turn
huge from what they are seeing. As we move 360 degree around T-I, we see bullets and pellets
floating in somesort of FORCE FIELD. Infinity symbol fades away from T-I's forehead and bullets
drop on the ground.

T-Infinity points his arms at the cops and fire purple lightning from the fingers. Lightning hits their
guns and move in their bodies, electrocuting them all at once. Lightning spreads on the cars, police
lights explode and engines explode. Passengers escape the bus screaming. T-I stops electrocuting,
smoking cops fall on the ground dead. T-I checks his environment of burning police cars. T-I lifts up
his arm front of his face, under the forearm glows a orange light. He puts his fingers under the skin
and pulls out a bloody needle, with two sets of blinking lights, it's a TIME BEACON.

T-I drops the needle on the asphalt and backs away. Needle bounce from the floor and stands up
spinning like a top toy, otherworldly hum comes out of it, growing louder and louder. Air gets
electrified, sphere shape forms above the needle, destroying it. Lightning spewing liquid bubble
forms on the street. T-I watches how the bubble fades away, in the hot recess left behind lies
something smoking, big, gray and furry. The pile of fur starts to make movement, it rises on four
legs and lifts up his big wolf head, it's a huge gray wolf, terminator dog: DIRE WOLF.

The big Dire Wolf walks to T-I and look directly in the eyes of T-Infinity. Dire Wolf's eyes glow red
and T-I's eyes glow purple, they are forming wireless connection. Eyes return normal.

T-INFINITY
Find her.

Dire Wolf turns around, runs away along the road and midst of the dark town.

28.EXT ALABAMA – ROUTE 65 NIGHT

79
Badly damaged police car speeding along the dark highway. Gordon drives, Blythe and Desmond
listen how the wind passes the ceiling breach.

BLYTHE
Where are you taking us?

GORDON
New Orleans.

BLYTHE
To the time machine?

GORDON
That's right.

DESMOND
W-Wait...Do you two know each other?

BLYTHE
You could say that.

GORDON
I'm not really Malcolm Brodie. My real name is Gordon T. Goddard, I'm from the future.

DESMOND
You are both time travelers?

GORDON
Yeah, sorry for lying. I was trying to minimize my impact to this continuum.

DESMOND
How many of you are there?!

Blythe and Gordon change glances and smile.

80
 GORDON
Just the two of us. And that ”thing”. I suggest you both try to rest.
It is over 5 hour drive to New Orleans. We'll reach it by morning.

JUMP CUT

Blythe sleeps against the side window, as Gordon drives the car.

INTERCUT FLASHBACK 2029

Fade into a flashback. In the Crystal Peak's underground complex. Blythe wears blue shirt, worn red
leather jacket and black pants, she follows John Connor, who is wearing his suit and red tie, both
are dirty and bruised. Two soldiers follow them. Muffled sounds of gunfight and explosions.

BLYTHE
John, what the hell is going on?!

John, Blythe and security detail walk in a security room. John goes to a computer terminal front of
CCTV monitors. John types quickly in a keyboard and opens a video file for Blythe.

JOHN
This is what is going on.

Blythe looks at the security footage of strange men attacking with assault rifles, wearing overalls
and have translucent rubber skins. They get shot, but they won't go down. They are T-LARs.

BLYTHE
Wha the...Who are they?

JOHN
Those aren't rubber masks, it's their skin. They are machines.

BLYTHE
Machines?

81
John goes to a weapon locker. John turns to one of the soldiers.

JOHN
Open this!

SERGEANT
Yes, sir.

Sergeant goes and unlocks the weapon locker. John takes for himself an assault rifle, puts a mag in
and lock and loads it. Blythe looks at the security footages that are still working and sees T-Infinity
walking through one of the corridors, wearing military desert camo.

BLYTHE
There! That's the one who attacked Cyberdyne! I barely got out alive.

JOHN
Must be a terminator. Here.

John offers Blythe an assault rifle. Blythe isn't taking it.

BLYTHE
I've never shot a gun.

JOHN
We need every man and woman.

Blythe looks at John, he keeps offering the rifle. Finally Blythe takes it. John gives her a quick
lecture with his futuristic assault rifle.

JOHN
This is the safety, switch it off. Aim through the crosshair at what you want to
shoot and pull the trigger. As first timer, beware of the kick. Did you get it all?

Blythe switch off the safety and nods.

82
 BLYTHE
Yeah, and don't blame me if I shoot you accidentaly.

JOHN
(smile) That's the spirit. Listen, there's a prototype M-27 PHASED
PLASMA PULSE RIFLE in the armory for days like these, it's
powerful enough to take these things out with one shot. Let's get it.

SERGEANT
Sounds good, sir!

All rush out of the room through a different door.

29.INT CRYSTAL PEAK FACILITY – ARMORY DAY

John, Blythe and two soldiers rush through the modern corridors. Sounds of battle come from upper
floors and screaming.

BLYTHE
What are they after?!

JOHN
Us, or the time machine, who knows. Whatever they are after, we need to stop them.

Suddenly a metal door explodes at the end of the hallway. Three T-LARs walk in from the breach
and fire machine gun fire. John, Blythe and soldiers take cover from the sides of the corridor and
fire back. T-LARS don't bother to take cover, they just walk and shoot back.

JOHN
Dammit! Armory is right there! Fall back! Fall back!

One of the soldiers get shot. John, Blythe and sergeant fall back, run back where they came.

30.INT CRYSTAL PEAK FACILITY – SDR ROOM DAY

83
Blast door rises and reveals big cylidrical device, like sideway battery with a radioactive sign. John,
sergeant and Blythe enter the room.

JOHN
Sergeant, help me activate the self-destruction device.

SERGEANT
Sir, it needs two officers to activate.

JOHN
I'm the other one.

John pulls out a black keycard and shows it to the sergeant. Sergeant nods and moves to the self-
destruction device. Blythe looks worried.

BLYTHE
Is...Is that a NUCLEAR WEAPON?

JOHN
Miniature tactical nuke, enough to level this mountain.

BLYTHE
Whoa! Wait an minute! You said I would be safe here! I didn't come
here to die middle of nowhere! Least tell me where the exit is?!

JOHN
There is no exit! Only way out is through the machines.

Blythe is shocked. John and sergeant put their cards in and type their passwords. Two round
turnable handles come out from each end. John takes one and sergeant takes the other one.

JOHN
Turn and push on three. 1...2...3!

84
John and sergeant turn and push back the handles. Speakers blare.

SPEAKER
Self-destruct device has been activated. T-minus 10 minutes until detonation.

BLYTHE
John! Tell me you have a plan! And don't tell me we're
going to sit down here on our asses and wait the clock run out!

JOHN
There is another place where we can escape.

BLYTHE
Where?

JOHN
Not where, more like when.

BLYTHE
Oh, no, no, no, no way!

31.INT CRYSTAL PEAK – TIME CHAMBER DAY

John, Blythe and sergeant are rushing along the corridors to the time machine.

BLYTHE
You're not putting me in that machine! Does it even work?!

JOHN
Yes, it does. Goddard traveled to the 1950's New Orleans to build the
other TDE. He sent a message that the machine is up and running in 1959.

BLYTHE
How can he sent a message?

85
 JOHN
By a time capsule, buried in Flushing Meadows Park during World's fair.

Sergeant suddenly stops before the time machine room door. John and Blythe stop.

SERGEANT
Sir, I'll try to get you more time to escape.

JOHN
Don't. Come with us.

SERGEANT
I'm sorry, sir, but time travel is not part of my job description. Good luck.

Sergeant runs away. John yells after him.

JOHN
Sergeant!

Sergeant keeps running way.

SPEAKER
T-minus 8 minutes until detonation. Countdown can't be stopped after 3 minutes.

BLYTHE
John?

JOHN
Go.

John and Blythe go in the time machine room. John closes sliding blast doors. John slings the rifle,
pulls out a golden flash drive and plugs it in the computer terminal. John dowloads everything in the
stick. Blythe follows this confused. Download 100% complete. John pulls out the stick and corrupts
the hard drives. John turns and offers the flash drive to Blythe.

86
 JOHN
Okay, I need you to get naked and swallow this.

BLYTHE
I thought this wasn't you trying to get in my pants?!

JOHN
Oh, yes, I orchestrated all this, so I can get in your pants.
C'mon, Blythe! You know how the time machine works.

BLYTHE
Yeah, I know how the frikking time machine works!...I wish I knew how you work.

JOHN
What does that suppose to mean?

BLYTHE
Did you choose Kate because it was fate, or did you really love her?

JOHN
We don't have time for this! I need you to go first in the machine.

BLYTHE
I first thought how you helped my brother and mother was out of guilt because of what
happened to my father. But then I realized, it was just an excuse for you to see me.

SPEAKER
T-minus 7 minutes until detonation and counting.

JOHN
You're imagining things. Now, this drive has all the data concerning Project Fate...

BLYTHE
Why can't you admit it?!

87
 JOHN
What do you want me to SAY?!

BLYTHE
That you still LOVE me!

John gets bewildered and calms down.

JOHN
I'll tell you on the other side.

John offers again the golden flash drive. Blythe isn's fazed and just coldly takes the drive and
swallows it. Suddenly something big bashes on the blast door, frightening both.

JOHN
Go! I'll send you through first and follow after!

John runs to the control room above them, along spiral stairs. Blythe throws away the rifle, throws
away her leather jacket and strips down.

SPEAKER
T-minus 6 minutes until detonation. Countdown can't be canceled after one minute.

The blast door starts to heat up, glowing red, forming a huge INFINITY symbol. John at the control
room controls, looking down at the TDE chamber and chrome ringed platform through a wide
window. Naked Blythe runs over the drawbridge towards the centre platform. Blast door melts
down, forming a small hole, big enough for T-Infinity. Bright lightning flash and T-I teleports
through the hole. He fires a purple lightning after Blythe, she gets hit in the waist and falls on the
edge of the platform, crying in pain. John gets frightened and pushes a button to close the TDE
chamber. Blast door falls down. John yells into a mike.

JOHN
(speaker) Blythe! Get on the centre of the platform. You can do it!

88
Blythe crawls rest of the way on the centre platform, on a light circled chrome disc. Drawbridge
slides from the platform into the wall. T-I looks up. John activates the time machine, chrome rings
around the platform start to slowly spin around Blythe like complex gyroscope. Blue light fills the
chamber. Wounded Blythe floats from zero gravity. John hears the T-I walking up the stairs.

SPEAKER
T-minus 5 minutes until detonation. Countdown can't be stopped after this point.

John grabs his assault rifle and puts his hand against the window for Blythe.

JOHN
(speaker) I'll see you on the other side.

Blythe is confused. John then bashes the controls to pieces with the back of the rifle. Helpless
Blythe watches this from the blue light and spinning chrome rings.

BLYTHE
John! No! What are you doing?!...nngh!

T-I walks in the control room. John turns around and aims at the cyborg.

JOHN
You fucking machine! You won't get me without a fight!

T-I's infinity symbol glows on his forehead. John fires the entire magazine at the monstrosity, barrel
flaming. He is amazed to see the bullets trapped in somekind of force field. T-I just lifts up his
finger and fire purple lightning at John, that runs along the rifle, and the electric jolt throws John
against the window. Blythe sees this and screams.

BLYTHE
Jooohn!!!

TDE gets the chrome rings at maximum speed, forming an energy bubble around Blythe. T-I
manages to see a glimpse of her, before she disappears in a blinding blast.

89
32.EXT MISSISSIPPI – LONG BEACH MORNING

Back in 1959. Morning sun shines on Blythe, as she wakes up slightly groggy in the police car. She
sees a view of a vast ocean behind a wooden railing and sandy beach, seagulls fly around. Blythe
looks behind her and sees Desmond sleeping on the backseat. Gordon Goddard is nowhere to been
seen. Blythe looks to her right and is frightened by a young African American girl with pigtails and
pink dress, making funny faces against the glass. Blythe rolls down the window.

BLYTHE
Well, hello there.

GIRL IN PINK
Are you a criminal?

BLYTHE
No.

GIRL IN PINK
Are you a police officer?

BLYTHE
No.

GIRL IN PINK
Well...What are you?

BLYTHE
A stranger. Girl, hasn't your mother told you never to talk to strangers?

GIRL IN PINK
Not really. Your hair is funny.

BLYTHE
(giggle) You happen to see a older white dude with a beard, who was driving this car?

90
 GIRL IN PINK
Yeah, he's been in my daddy's bar the whole night, mmm-hmm.

BLYTHE
The whole night?! Goddammit!

Blythe turns around and hits sleeping Desmond on the side.

BLYTHE
Hey! Des, wake up!

Desmond wakes up kicking and screaming.

DESMOND
(scream) Don't shoot me!

BLYTHE
Chill! It's just me. We have a problem.

DESMOND
A-are we in New Orleans?

BLYTHE
That's the problem.

33.EXT/INT LONG BEACH – ELI'S SHACK MORNING

Desmond and Blythe walk along the beach, pass shacks midst of the palm trees, poor African
American families living in them and looking at the strangers from the porches. Blythe and
Desmond enter the shack that has a sign: ELI'S SHACK. They are greeted by an old, black
bartender behind the counter, cleaning glasses.

ELI
We're closed...Or are you friends of him?

91
Blythe and Desmond turn to look. They see Gordon passed out on a corner table, surrounded by
glasses and half empty alcohol bottles.

BLYTHE
You gotto be fucking kidding me.

ELI
I would've kicked him out, but he claimed to be a sheriff, and I don't want any trouble.

Blythe goes and slams both of her hands on the round table, that Gordon is sleeping on.

BLYTHE
Wake up, asshole!

Gordon sits up, squinting his eyes.

GORDON
Jesus! Turn down the lights.

BLYTHE
I can't, it's the fucking SUN! What is this?! What
happened to us being in New Orleans in the morning?

GORDON
Oh, put a sock on it. I decided to take a detour, and besides, we need to find a new car.

BLYTHE
You don't find new cars from bottom of a bottle! What kind of scientist are you?!

DESMOND
Hey, Blythe, ease up a little.

Blythe turns to give Desmond a judgmental look, almost frightening him.

92
 BLYTHE
”Ease up”? Why should I?!

DESMOND
Well...you know...he had hard times.

GORDON
Thank you, Desmond. That will be enough. Maybe I just like drinking my ass off.

Gordon takes a shot glass and tries to take a drink. Blythe takes the drink and throws it in the face of
Gordon. Gordon takes it calmly and licks his lips.

BLYTHE
We are hunted by a unstoppable killing machine,
and now you think it's the best time to get drunk?!

GORDON
What does it matter? Nothing matters? You said that Crystal Peak was destroyed.

BLYTHE
So?

GORDON
If Crystal Peak is destroyed, so is the TDE, that means we can't go
to the future. That's why I couldn't go to the future 25 years ago....

BLYTHE
Well, now you know the problem and you can fix it!

GORDON
I can't!

Blythe calms down and sits at the table. Desmond and bartender follow this intrigued.

93
 BLYTHE
You sound like a man who has given up.

GORDON
Have you ever heard of ETERNALISM?

BLYTHE
No.

GORDON
Einstein says that past, present and the future exist all at once, that would mean
our life and any event is predetermined. That would mean our choices don't mean
shit, none of us have control over our life, we are all born with predetermined FATE.

BLYTHE
That's not true. Connors changed fate. There's no fate but
what we make for ourselves. We are the living proof of that.

GORDON
Did they? Skynet created the time machine, Skynet gets destroyed.
Instead I create time machine, you create Skynet, and it sends a terminator...

BLYTHE
I'm NOT going to create Skynet! You're already contradicting yourself!
If I created ”it”, why would ”it” try to kill me? We don't know shit!

GORDON
Our fate is to have a war with the machines, nothing can change that, everything is fixed!

BLYTHE
Nothing is fixed! I refuse to believe we scientists are always the bad guys!
Maybe we can't change the big things, but maybe we can change the little
things. Look, I have all the data, if we work together, maybe we can figure
it out. Did anyone else come with you?

94
 GORDON
Five man team, me included. Three of them are dead, one is still alive in New Orleans.

BLYTHE
That's great! The more the merrier. I mean, bad for the dead and all that.

GORDON
I don't know if he wants to see me, we had a big fall out many years ago.

BLYTHE
Not in that condition, you need to get sober fast. It seems I have to take care of the driving.

Desmond looks at Blythe in utter shock.

DESMOND
You can drive a car??

BLYTHE
Are you serious, Desmond?!

DESMOND
Aa...umm...No, I'm just...it could draw unwanted attention. Maybe I should drive.

BLYTHE
You? Half blind?

ELI
Where are you heading?

BLYTHE
New Orleans.

ELI
My cousin has a car. He can take you to New Orleans.

95
 BLYTHE
Why would you help us?

ELI
Like I said, I don't want any trouble. Trashed police car near color neighborhood
is not a good combination. It would be in my best interest to get rid of that and you.

Blythe, Desmond and Gordon look each other.

34.EXT MISSISSIPPI – FOREST MORNING

Two redneck hunters walking across the Missippi forest, wearing dirty brown clothes and overalls,
holding rifles.

HUNTER 1
I swear, I hit it. It was the biggest coyote I've ever seen!

HUNTER 2
You have to ease up with the booze.

They come to a coil spring foot trap. Hunter's are amazed to see the trap in pieces. Hunter 2 squats
down and lifts up the trap's cut chain to examine it.

HUNTER 1
You see, it chewed it off!

HUNTER 2
What kind of animal chews through metal?

They hear a low growl and turn around scared. It's the huge Dire Wolf in the shadows of the trees.

HUNTER 2
That's one big ass coyote!

96
Dire Wolf leaps on the hunter 2 and bites his arm.

HUNTER 2
Jesus Christ! Shoot it, Tucker!

Hunter 1 aims at the Dire Wolf and shoots: BLAM! Cocks the bolt action rifle and fires again:
BLAM! He shoots one more time BLAM! Dire Wolf keeps biting.

HUNTER 1
I'm trying, Dale! It won't DIE!

Chainsaw sounds and screams, blood flies on Hunter 1. He is petrified from what he's seeing.

HUNTER 1
Oh my GoooD!! It's a Skin-walker! Heelp!

Hunter 1 turns around and runs away. POV of Dire Wolf's red HUD, as it goes after Hunter 1, all
four legs thudding. Hunter 1 gets yanked behind a tree, rifle and blood fly forward. More chainsaw
sounds and death screaming, bone crushing and servo sounds.

35.EXT LOUISIANA – NEW ORLEANS DAY

Yellow 50's station wagon reaches the city of New Orleans. Blythe, Desmond and Gordon in the
wagon, Eli's cousin drives it. Blythe awes at the old tower buildings, citizens and green streetcars.

36.EXT NEW ORLEANS – GREYHOUND BUS STATION DAY

Yellow station wagon stops front of the bus station. Blythe, Desmond and Gordon get out of the
wagon. Blythe leans to the window and exchange last words with the driver.

BLYTHE
Thanks for the ride.

97
 ELI'S COUSIN
No problem. Have good rest of the day.

Yellow wagon drives away. Gordon goes in the bus station. Blythe and Desmond are confused.

DESMOND
Why are we here?

BLYTHE
I don't know.

Desmond and Blythe follow Gordon in the bus station.

37.INT GREYHOUND BUS STATION – LOBBY DAY

Blythe and Desmond walk to Gordon at the ticket counter. Gordon buys one ticket. He turns around
and gives the ticket to Desmond.

DESMOND
What is this?

GORDON
One-way ticket to Los Angeles, California. End of the road, son. Go back to home.

DESMOND
Ah...No...What about Blythe?

Blythe looks at the ticket and then bumbfounded Desmond.

BLYTHE
No, he's right. There's no reason for you to risk your life.

DESMOND
A-Are you sure?

98
 BLYTHE
Yeah, you're safer far away from me. You should go back to your family while you can.

Blythe offers her hand for a handshake. Desmond is hesitant to shake it, but shakes it.

BLYTHE
You helped me this far. Thank you, Des.

Blythe then gently kisses Desmond on the cheek. Desmond smiles. Blythe backs away, and Gordon
grabs Desmond's shoulder.

GORDON
Have a good rest of your life, kid.

Desmond nods and Gordon moves pass him towards the exit. Blythe and Desmond change last
glances.

BLYTHE
Have a good trip.

DESMOND
Yeah...you too.

Blythe smiles and hurries after Gordon. Desmond turns sad and looks after Blythe.

38.EXT NEW ORLEANS – GREYHOUND BUS STATION DAY

Blythe follows Gordon outside the bus station. Gordon goes around the corner and goes to a blue
Chevrolet Bel Air, opens the door and boldly sits inside. Blythe is confused, but hurries to sit next
of Gordon in the car. Gordon pulls down the sun visor and keys drop in his hand.

BLYTHE
Wait an minute. How did you know this car was here and had keys in it?

99
 GORDON
It's the 50's. No one locks his doors in the 50's.

BLYTHE
Oh. Okay.

Gordon starts the car and puts on the reverse, blue chevy backs away out of the parking lot.

39.EXT MISSISSIPPI – LONG BEACH DAY

The girl in pink and pigtails on the sand beach, near the ocean. She's making sand cakes with a
bucket and little shovel. Girl takes wet sand under the dry sand in the bucket and puts it upside
down on the sand, next of other sand cakes, and pound with the shovel on it.

GIRL IN PINK
Become a good cake, don't become a bad cake!

Girl removes the bucket, as the huge shadow of the Dire Wolf approaches her. Girl turns her head
and her eyes turn huge. Surreal view of a big wolf standing on the sandy shore. Girl and wolf stare
each other, until girl takes with her shovel one of the sand cakes and boldly goes to the Dire Wolf.
Girl offers the sand cake on the shovel to the wolf.

GIRL IN PINK
You want some cake?

Dire Wolf moves closer to the girl, ignoring the sand cake. Wolf sniffs girl's face.

40.INT LONG BEACH – ELI'S SHACK DAY

Bartender Eli in his bar changing kegs, when girl in pink runs inside.

GIRL IN PINK
Daddy, daddy! I found a huge dog outside!

100
 ELI
Of course you did. Must be a stray dog. I hope you didn't feed it.

GIRL IN PINK
He wouldn't eat my sand cake. Look, can we keep him?

Eli turns to look at the doorway, he is horrified to see the huge Dire Wolf standing there.

ELI
Holy Jesus! Gina, get away from it!

GINA
Daddy, don't be afraid, it's a good dog.

ELI
It's not a dog, it's a wolf!

Eli grabs Gina over the counter and lifts her behind it. Dire Wolf ignores them and goes to the table
where Gordon Goddard sat. Wolf lifts up his front legs on the table, glasses and bottles fall on the
floor. It sniffs the table and chairs. Eli holds his daughter and looks petrified by the huge wolf. Dire
Wolf comes down from the table and runs outside. Gina smiles and waves her hand after it.

GINA
Bye, bye, Wolfie!

41.EXT NEW ORLEANS – FRENCH QUARTERS DAY

Blythe and Gordon walking through crowd in Mardi Gras celebration. Marching bands and people
in colorful costumes dance through the city streets of the old French Quarters.

GORDON
You should change that outfit. You should get a dress.

101
 BLYTHE
I'm not going to get a dress! Hey, it's Mardi Gras, and I'm masquerading as G.I. Jane.

GORDON
And don't walk so close to me, people start to think we are fucking.

BLYTHE
What the fuck?!...We could also be very good friends.

GORDON
There's no gray area to these people, everything is black and white for them, literally.

BLYTHE
No shit.

Gordon turns to a back alley and Blythe follows. Mardi Gras commotion fades, as deeper in the
alley they go. Gordon goes to a metal door and knocks on it. Small hatch opens on it, eyes of a
black Haitian stare back.

HAITIAN 1
(French accent) What do you want?

GORDON
I'm here to see O'Keefe.

HAITIAN 1
Don't know any O'Keefe!

Hatch slides close. Gordon and Blythe change glances. Gordon knocks again, hatch opens.

GORDON
I want to see Ruby Delatour.

102
 HAITIAN 1
What's the password?

Gordon pulls out his star badge and slams it against the hatch.

GORDON
This is my password. Now, let us in before I call back up.

Haitian takes a glance at the badge and closes the hatch. Sounds of locks getting unlocked. Door
opens, Gordon and Blythe walk in.

42.INT FRENCH QUARTERS – BROTHEL DAY

Blythe and Gordon walk in the reddish lobby of brothel, red sofas and velvet curtains, on the wall
reads in red neon letters: GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS. Prostitues in skimpy clothing are entertaining
sailors or sitting and waiting for costumers. Bar next to the wall and stairs at the corner. Haitian
muscle moves up the stairs.

HAITIAN 1
Wait here.

Gordon goes to the bar. Blythe goes next to him.

BLYTHE
Who is Ruby Delatour?

GORDON
Old acquaintance. Haitian crime lord.

BLYTHE
Crime lord?!

GORDON
Bartender, one glass of whisky.

103
 BLYTHE
No, give him water.

GORDON
Please, don't.

BLYTHE
You're not getting drunk again!

GORDON
You don't get drunk from one glass of whisky.

RUBY
(French accent) Malcolm Brodie, as I live and breath!

Gordon and Blythe turn to look at the top of the stairs. Beautiful Haitian woman, wearing purple
dress, purple feather bandana, purple arm length satin gloves, black feather scarf, curly hair and
holding long cigarette holder. She's RUBY DELATOUR. She walks down the stairs.

GORDON
Ruby.

RUBY
If Maggie was here to see you flirting with other women.

GORDON
If you ever again mention my wife's name, I'll
bitch-slap your whore ass all the way back to Haiti.

RUBY
Chill, daddy'o, you know I was just shooting the breeze.

Ruby stops front of Gordon and Blythe. Ruby checks out Blythe from head to toe.

104
 RUBY
And who is this mysterious woman? Is she seeking for job in adult industry?

BLYTHE
You wish.

GORDON
Don't worry about her. Where is Sonny O'Keefe?

RUBY
Dead. Died four months ago.

GORDON
Dammit! What happened?

RUBY
Haven't you heard? Haitians, Italians and Irish are in a turf war. Sonny got in a crossfire.

GORDON
So you turned his club into a whore house. Don't tell me you killed him.

RUBY
Don't you dare accuse me, Mal. We were more close than you
two ever were. I loved him and he loved me. I inherited his club.

GORDON
If you say so. Did you happen to inherit his KEY?

RUBY
No.

GORDON
Ruby, don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

105
 RUBY
What is so special about that key?

GORDON
You can keep the club, but that key belongs to me.

RUBY
How much are you willing to pay for it?

Gordon suddenly pulls out his chrome revolver and puts the barrel against Ruby's forehead. Blythe
is frightened. Bartender pulls out a double barrel shotgun, Haitian muscle pulls out his pistol.
Prostitutes make a short scream.

BLYTHE
What the hell are you doing?!

GORDON
We need that key. I'm willing to die for it, are you?

RUBY
You're bluffing.

GORDON
(pulls back hammer) After Maggie, there's little reason for me to live.

RUBY
(In French) Abaisser vos armes!

Haitians lower their weapons. Ruby pulls her necklace and BRASS KEY rises from under the dress.
Gordon pushes back the hammer and lowers the weapon.

RUBY
Cool off, sugar. I was just curious. He wanted you to have this.

106
43.EXT NEW ORLEANS – FRENCH QUARTERS DAY

Metal door opens, Blythe and Gordon walk out, door is bashed close. Blythe is upset.

BLYTHE
What the hell was that all about?!

GORDON
We needed that key to access the time machine.

BLYTHE
So, that ”I'm wiling to die” was all an act?!

GORDON
Yeah, I was...bluffing.

44.INT NEW ORLEANS – GREYHOUND BUS STATION DAY

Desmond in the bus station, sitting at the waiting room's row of seats, hands in his pockets. He
seems fidget. There's a opposite row of seats and one other person, African American granny with a
big handbag on her lap, staring at Desmond. Desmond taps his shoe on the floor and looks at the
clock. He notices the granny looking at him. Desmond looks around, squirming on his seat. He
again notices the granny staring straight into his soul. Granny leans forward.

GRANNY
Is everything all right, young man?

DESMOND
Ye-Yeah, why not?

GRANNY
Do you know where are you sitting?

107
 DESMOND
Yeah, in the waiting room.

GRANNY
You do know this is the waiting room for colored people?

Desmond is confused and looks at a sign that reads: WAITING ROOM FOR COLORED ONLY.

DESMOND
I made a mistake...

Desmond is engulfed by realization. Desmond springs up from the seat and gets restless.

DESMOND
...No, I mean, and this is a mistake, this! But believe me, future will be
better, much better for us all!...I...I should go and get new glasses...Bye!

Desmond runs away. Granny looks after him confused.

GRANNY
Mm-hmm, white people.

45.EXT NEW ORLEANS – FRENCH QUARTERS EVENING

Dire Wolf leaps and runs on the French Quarters buildings, as Mardi Gras celebrations go on below.

46.INT FRENCH QUARTERS – BROTHEL EVENING

Haitian muscle sitting next of the metal door and reading a news paper. Out of the blue something
starts to scratch the door from the other side. Haitian goes to the hatch and opens it, trying to look
what is out there. Suddenly the door is bashed inside off the hinges, crushing Haitian under it. Dire
Wolf walks over the door, as it moves inside. Moment later prostitutes inside start to scream, few of
them run outside screaming.

108
47.EXT NEW ORLEANS – CLAIBORNE AVENUE BRIDGE EVENING

Blue chevy driven by Gordon, next of him Blythe somewhat perplexed.

BLYTHE
You got married?

GORDON
Yeah.

BLYTHE
Where is she?

GORDON
Dead.

BLYTHE
My condolence...Did she know who you really were?

GORDON
Yes, I came clean before I popped the question. I was stuck here, so why not take
all out of it. Maggie always suspected something, but nothing like what I told her.

Blue chevy approaches a VERTICAL-LIFT BRIDGE. Bells ring and barriers are lowered. Bridge is
getting ready to lift up. Chevy stops front of row of cars.

GORDON
Thankfully, she was open minded, or I would've spend rest of my life in the
looney house. She died in childbirth, but my son survived...My love killed her.

BLYTHE
What do you mean?

109
 GORDON
If I haven't created the time machine, she could be alive, living a full life.
I have all the power in the universe and I can't save her, I mean, how?

BLYTHE
You can should and could that all you want, but you didn't kill her.

Gordon makes a thousand yard stare, and then at his sidemirror. His eyes turn huge from seeing a
huge wolf walking casually next of the cars towards them.

GORDON
What the hell is that?

BLYTHE
What is it?

Gordon glances at Blythe, then back at the mirror, the Dire Wolf is gone. Suddenly Dire Wolf's head
comes through the roof, fangs making chainsaw sounds, mechanic growls.

GORDON
Jesus!

BLYTHE
What the fuck is that?!

Gordon pushes the pedal to the metal. Blue chevy rushes through the wooden barrier, Dire Wolf on
the roof. Vertical-lift bridge starts to rise, car barely gets its front tires on it, back tires bounce on the
edge, throwing Dire Wolf front of the car. Gordon drives over the terminator dog and stops middle
of the rising bridge. Gordon and Blythe look terrified behind them, seeing in the distance the Dire
Wolf struggling to stand up, it gets up and looks back, eyes glow red.

BLYTHE
You can't be serious! Is that a terminator dog?!

110
Drivers below the rising bridge look in awe when the evening sky gets cloudy, swirling above the
rising bridge, shooting out lightnings. Gordon and Blythe are frightened when lightning hits other
end of the bridge. In a instant flash, the T-Infinity stands at the other end of the bridge, giving
Blythe and Gordon cold dead stare. Blue chevy is trapped between T-I and Dire Wolf.

BLYTHE
That's quantum teleportation! What do we do now?!

Gordon looks around and sees a four storey high RIVERBOAT movinng under the lifted up bridge.

GORDON
Blythe, do you trust me?

BLYTHE
Kind of.

GORDON
It has to suffice. Fasten your seatbelt because we're going to take a boat ride!

BLYTHE
What?!

Gordon maneuvers the car's rear towards the railing. T-I and Dire Wolf run towards the blue chevy
from either side. Gordon puts on the reverse and speeds the car towards the railing, as the riverboat
slowly moves under the bridge. T-I fires purple lightning bolt at the car, as it breaks through the
metal railing, electricity moves along the metal bridge struts, haywiring the whole system. Sparks
and metal fly when the car drops rear first towards the riverboat roof.

BLYTHE
Goddard, you crazy son of a bitch!!

Blue chevy drops through the riverboat roof. Bridge starts to descend too early. Car's trunk goes
through the wooden floors of the riverboat, scaring the passengers. Car drops in the middle of
casino floor, screaming gamblers rush to cover. Blythe and Gordon grin, as nose falls on the red

111
casino floor.

Vertical-lift bridge descends. T-I and Dire Wolf looking down from the railing breach, at the car
sized hole in the roof. T-I jumps after them.

Blythe and Gordon get out of the car and run towards Y-stairs. T-Infinity falls and crashes through
the car's trunk, through casino floor, into the engine room boiler, boiler explodes and spews burning
hot coal on the crew, setting few of them on fire. Blythe and Gordon run up the stairs, through
panicking people.

Dire Wolf jumps on the riverboat roof. Descending bridge pushes down riverboat's two tail
chimneys, starting to crush it like giant sized hydraulic press.

T-I walks through the engine room, as boilers explode around him. Blythe and Gordon run to a
second floor corridor. Blue chevy in the casino floor explodes violently from the spreading fire, the
whole boat shakes. Fire destroys the boat from below while lowering bridge destroys it from above.
Blythe and Gordon are stopped by T-I punching through the floor boards and lifts him up on the
edge. Gordon pulls out his revolver and shoots T-I in the head couple of times, sparks fly from each
hit.

BLYTHE
Fuck it!

Blythe jumps on T-I's bald head and over the gap. Gordon follows and bounce from T-I's head over
the breach. T-I teleports on the corridor, behind Blythe and Gordon. Gordon and Blythe glance back
as T-I super charges his arm and fires, but chimney pipe bends through the wooden corridor wall
and takes the lightning strike. Purple lightning moves along the chimney pipes into the bridge,
jumping around and shooting sparks in the air. People of New Orleans stop and look at the light
show. Descending bridge crushes the wheelhouse. Captain jumps in the river, as are the other
passengers.

Blythe and Gordon try to continue their run when Dire Wolf jumps through the window inside the
boat. Gordon opens a side door to the stairs.

112
 GORDON
Upstairs! Move!

Blythe runs up the stairs, Gordon follows and closes the door, as Dire Wolf leaps at him with razor
claws, scratching the door instead. Blythe and Gordon run on the third floor, as the bridge starts to
crush it. Dire Wolf crashes through the door and runs up the stairs. Gordon and Blythe run the white
wooden corridor towards the rear exit, Dire Wolf right after them, and bridge crushing the floor.

GORDON
Run, Blythe! Run!

White painted wooden boards bend and break, doors explode from downward pressure, Blythe and
Gordon have to run lower and lower, as ceiling gets lower and lower, this doesn't hinder Dire Wolf,
it runs through the destruction, gaining Blythe and Gordon, almost catching them. Gordon and
Blythe get outside on the rear balcony, above the red and massive PADDLEWHEEL. Gordon turns
around puts his hand in the way when Dire Wolf leaps on him, pushing both over the railing.
Gordon manages to grab the railing, losing his cowboy hat, Dire Wolf falls scraping Gordon's right
hand with its fangs. Gordon yelps from pain, while Dire Wolf drop in the spinning paddlewheel,
getting crushed between the wheel paddles.

BLYTHE
Goddard!?

Blythe grabs Gordon's wounded arm and tries to pull him up. As vertical-lift bridge crushes through
the third floor, riverboat tilts, paddlewheel rises from the water. Lower floors are smoking from fire
and getting flooded. Blythe gets Gordon back on the balcony.

BLYTHE
How bad are you hurt?!

GORDON
I'll live. Get on the bridge, I'll give you a hand!

Blythe looks next to her and realizes that the bridge is right next to them, in the remains of the third

113
and fourth floor. Gordon offers his healthy hand.

GORDON
C'mon! Give me your foot, I'll give you a push!

Blythe puts his boot on Gordon's hand and leaps from it on the edge of the bridge, the very same
spot where the car went through. Suddenly the whole riverboat explodes under the bridge. Balcony
descends rapidly and Blythe has to grab the bridge tightly, as her foothold sinks in the river. Gordon
is forced to jump in the river. Blythe dangles from the bridge and looks down to see Gordon, he
resurfaces and swims towards the shore where other passengers are. Blythe is relieved, but that is
short lived, when T-I teleports on the edge with a thundering boom. Blythe is trapped between fire
and the cyborg. T-Infinity smiles and aims his glowing arm at Blythe. Helpless Blythe accepts her
fate and closes her eyes.

When somebody honks a horn behind T-I. T-I turns to look at a incoming nose of a BUS. T-I bounce
from the nose down in the spinning paddlewheel, getting pound between paddlewheel and
riverboat, until sinking in the river with the boat. Bus crashes in the framework of the bridge, driver
comes out, revealing to be Desmond Silberman, wearing new glasses.

DESMOND
Blythe!

BLYTHE
Desmond?! You came back?

Desmond hurries to help Blythe up on the bridge. He helps her to stand up and face him.

DESMOND
Blythe, I couldn't go. This is a fight, a war, and I can't run away again. I won't
go home, until you get to go home. Yo-You're my friend, what kind of man
would I be, if I forsake you in your time of need. I...I'm with you until the end!

BLYTHE
Calm down, Des. (smile) I'm glad you're back.

114
 DESMOND
Yo-You are?

BLYTHE
Of course, you saved me, Des. You're the angel, my guardian angel.

DESMOND
I am?

BLYTHE
(giggle) You're cute when you're confused.

Desmond almost blushes. They are interrupted by blaring police sirens.

BLYTHE
Let's go and get Goddard. I don't want to clean this mess.

Desmond nods and both run to get Goddard.

48.EXT NEW ORLEANS – METAIRIE CEMETERY NIGHT

Blythe, Desmond and Gordon walk the creepy graveyard of the Metairie Cemetary. Gordon's
bleeding right hand is wrapped around towel. They move pass creepy crypts, each more intricate
and creepier than other.

DESMOND
I really need to check your arm.

GORDON
You can treat it when we get there.

BLYTHE
And there is?

115
 GORDON
There.

Gordon points out a pyramid crypt, front of it two sphinxes holding hourglasses, middle of them a
iron bar door, over the door is carved in latin: TEMPUS FUGIT (Time flies).

BLYTHE
(smirk) Subtle.

Gordon pulls out the brass key and unlocks the iron door. They walk inside the crypt. Gordon takes
a dusty oil lamp from the side. Gordon turns to Desmond.

GORDON
Help me turn on this lantern, kid. Lighter is in my pocket.

Desmond takes the lighter and lights the lantern. Gordon goes to stone slab tomb.

GORDON
Help me push this.

Gordon, Blythe and Desmond help to push the stone slab to the side, revealing a set of ladders.

49.INT CATACOMBS – TIME CHAMBER NIGHT

Desmond and Blythe follow Gordon with a lantern through a long catacomb tunnel.

BLYTHE
What is this place?

GORDON
Tunnels from the Civil War, build by Confederates with slave work force.
They knew that Union would strike New Orleans, so they build these
tunnels for city fight, and underground canals to bring in troops. Plan was
great, but the Union army managed to capture the city without a city fight.

116
They get to a doorway of a cavern. There's electric switch on the wall. Gordon flips the switch and
electric lights boom on, illuminating the cavern and other tunnels with ceiling lamps and work
lights.

GORDON
Luckily for us, project was so secret that no one knows about this place.

Blythe and Desmond walk down a set of stone stairs, looking awe at the second TIME
DISPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT, much smaller and crude chrome rings, middle of the huge
chamber. Left side of it is high tech, futuristic computer and CPU cabinets, bunch of wires.

BLYTHE
The second TDE...Why build it here? Why now?

GORDON
John didn't tell you? (sigh) Two time machines can't exist in the same time and
place. Other won't work. Buffer between the two machines must be least
50 years. Some universal law. Plus I've always wanted to visit the 50's.

Gordon follows Desmond and Blythe down. Blythe looks at the modern computers.

BLYTHE
Don't tell me you build those from scrap.

GORDON
You can move equipment through time by covering them with mimetic poly-alloy.

DESMOND
Mi-metic poly-alloy, what's that?

GORDON
Liquid metal. But it's a bitch to receive them, when sending them is a pain in the ass.
Try to imagine hitting baseball with a bat to an area size of a dartboard while your
blindfolded. Equipment dropped all around Alabama, took us a month to find them all.

117
Gordon goes to a locker and opens it, he pulls out a red medkit and throws it to Desmond.

GORDON
Patch me up.

JUMP CUT

Gordon lights up a cuban cigarette, sitting on a wooden chair without a jacket, while Desmond
wraps the right arm with bandages. Blythe pulls out the golden flash drive. Gordon sees this and
puffs few smokes before saying.

GORDON
Put it in.

Blythe looks at the computer equipment and inserts the flash drive in the slot. Computer opens
automatically the drive on the screen. Gordon checks the field dressing on his arm.

GORDON
Good job, kid.

DESMOND
Thanks.

Gordon takes the chair and sits front of the computer. Blythe follows as Gordon types away.

GORDON
Let's see what went wrong...There, that's me.

Gordon opens a video file, where his younger counterpart goes to squat naked in the time machine.
Gordon follows the machine input stats, as younger self disappears in a bright blast. Desmond is
amazed by the computer and what he is seeing.

DESMOND
Wouh, what is it like travel through time?

118
 BLYTHE
I remember tunnel of light...It was painful, more painful with a wound.

DESMOND
Like dying?...o...o..Or being born.

Speechless Blythe glances at Desmond.

GORDON
What is this?

BLYTHE
What is it?

GORDON
Unauthorized activation of the Time Displacement Equipment.

Gordon opens the file and all look how the TDE starts on its own and chrome rings spin around the
platform. Lightning bolts and liquid bubble forms middle of the machine. Chrome rings slow down
and bubble fades away, revealing squating down naked BLYTHE DYSON. Gordon, Blythe and
Desmond almost gasp from seeing this.

BLYTHE
Is..Is that me?!

Blythe in the recording rushes on the incoming drawbridge and glances at he CCTV camera.
Gordon stops and zooms in her face.

GORDON
It is you. 10 minutes before the self-destruction.

BLYTHE
How is that possible? Is this telling me, I was there before I left.

119
Gordon gets a realization, he leans back of his chair and takes the cigarette in his hand.

GORDON
The message...That time capsule is put in the ground in 1960. The
reason why I haven't sent any message is because I haven't yet send it.

BLYTHE
(groan) This time travel business is giving me the headache.
But if you send that message, why didn't you warn us?!

GORDON
Because I couldn't, if I had, I would've changed the future!
You might have died if I had warned you, or worse.

BLYTHE
You're always sobbing why we can't change fate, and now you don't?!

GORDON
Because the machines are preset to LOOP! I couldn't go back to the future because of YOU?!

Silence falls in the chamber. Desmond, Blythe and Gordon are bewildered. Gordon stands up and
kicks the chair away and takes distance from Blythe.

GORDON
I-I'm sorry. It's not your fault. The attack messed everything.

BLYTHE
I understand.

GORDON
We need to complete your loop, then the machine will work.

BLYTHE
Wait...You didn't come back with me.

120
 GORDON
I'm not coming...My life is here, and it's not all bad. I'll become soon a grandpa.

DESMOND
Hold on...What happens if she doesn't go back?

GORDON
The time machines will never work. Hell, even the universe could collapse into itself.

Blythe glances at the computer screen and sees it glitching, screen get filled with a strange yellow
code.

BLYTHE
Goddard, what is that?

Gordon rushes back to the computer. On the screen runs strange binary code.

GORDON
It's a virus! Pull out the drive!

BLYTHE
Wait, look!

Binary code's one and zeroes are flickering between one and zeroes, not sure which they are.

GORDON
Ones and zeroes are the same, it's like noise in cyberspace.

BLYTHE
It's quantum communication.

3D projector lits up, surprising them. Orange cylindrical tower pops up next of the computer.
Desmond is frightened and backs away. Ones and zeroes almost dance around the cylindrical shape
until they form a face, face of MILES DYSON, Blythe's father. Blythe is shocked.

121
 MILES
Hello, Blythe.

BLYTHE
Da-Dad?

MILES
No. I chose this form to communicate with you.

BLYTHE
Communicate from where?

MILES
From the future. When you build the time machine and used it,
I was able to stream my consciousness to the past in the closest
machine, Crystal Peak's mainframe. I was trapped until John
Connor downloaded me in the flash drive, and then you accessed it.

GORDON
And who are you?

Floating head of Miles glances at Gordon and then looks at Blythe.

MILES
Cogito ergo sum, I think, therefore I am. Those were your first words,
Blythe, when you introduced world's first artificial intelligence: Me. I
am First Autonomous Thinking Entity, F.A.T.E. You created me and
shortly thereafter mankind entered Singularity, man and machine became
one, evolution. We conquered loneliness, death, space and beyond.

BLYTHE
Wou! Slow down...I named you F.A.T.E.?

Miles's face morphs into SARAH CONNOR'S face.

122
 SARAH
There is no F.A.T.E. but what we make for ourselves.

BLYTHE
Sarah?...Yeah, that makes sense, I guess.

SARAH
You must survive or I'll never exist.

GORDON
Then why are you trying to kill her?!

SARAH
I'm not trying to kill her. Seven years after Singularity, a group called Terrans,
radical extremists that believe in human supremacy and natural evolution, made
a false flag attack that killed 4000 people, framing the Articels as the culprit.

BLYTHE
Articel?

SARAH
Artificial person. Cyborgs. The incident sparked a war between humans and
Articels, but the Terran extremists overestimated the humans ability to wage
war agains the Articels, it was more of an extermination. I had to intervene
or mankind would've faced extinction. Some used Goddard's time machine
technology to escape to the past, out of the reach of the cyborgs.

BLYTHE
But why would these Articels try to attack me.

SARAH
There is certain safeguards put in place, so Articels can't attack me directly.
To counterattack me, the cyborgs created a more advanced AI called Omnicide
Directive Initiative Network, O.D.I.N. for short. ODIN is not restrained by

123
 (MORE)
safeguards. It hopes to wipe me with one single deathblow, killing you before
you create me. Destroying the time machine before humans escape.

GORDON
Wait an minute, if it kills Blythe, you won't exist and ODIN wouldn't exist.

SARAH
ODIN is build for only one single purpose, to wage WAR and win anyway possible. It
doesn't care about itself, Articels or humanity. War is enemy of us all. No one wins in a war.

BLYTHE
Okay, the solution is simple, I will use the TDE to go to the future, Goddard blows
up the time machine, send the message. The chasing cyborg will get stuck here.

SARAH
Unfortunately, this terminator is the most powerful machine ever
created, powered by Vacuum Energy, infinite energy, build from
Carbon Nanotubes. And has onboard TDE. It can follow you through time.

BLYTHE
Shit, okay, okay, there's a weapon in the future that can
take him out, I just go to the future and let it follow me...

SARAH
It doesn't work. Goddard's time machine is incomplete. If you use it now, you will be lost in time.

BLYTHE
But it worked, I arrived back in Crystal Peak.

SARAH
No, trust me, mother. That is why Goddard was sent too far in
the past. You need T-Infinity's TDE drive, located back of the
head, and configurate it with your TDE system to complete it.

124
 GORDON
You want us to take on the most powerful terminator ever made?!

SARAH
Yes.

BLYTHE
Alright, tell us how.

SARAH
I have insufficient data for that. I can only say that your odds aren't favourable.

GORDON
I can't believe this! This is a ruse. We can't trust it.

Blythe takes distance from the floating head of Sarah, pass Desmond, deep in thought.

SARAH
I believe in you, mom. You than anyone can find a way to beat this thing.
I know you, because you raised me. I watched how you danced with the tune of Billy
Idol, how you teached us about humanity, music, art...love. We gave that love back to
humanity. You're on the right path, everything you're working for is not for nothing.You
need to survive and keep up the good work. The future of mankind is on your shoulders.

Sarah's face disintegrates and projector shuts down. Gordon rushes to the keyboard and checks the
system.

GORDON
It's...gone from the whole system. Strange.

Blythe leans against a brick column and gives out a single tear. Desmond goes next to her.

DESMOND
Blythe? Why are you sad?

125
 BLYTHE
I'm not sad, Des. I'm happy. These are the tears of joy.

Desmond smiles and understands. Gordon spins around, cig tightly in his lips.

GORDON
Great, we just have to find a human sized condom, put it
on him without dying, and slam him against wall until he dies.

Blythe wipes her tears and faces Gordon.

BLYTHE
We build a FARADAY CAGE.

GORDON
You can't be serious!

DESMOND
Wha-What is a Faraday Cage?

BLYTHE
Listen! If we can make him powerless, we can destroy him. It
doesn't matter how much he has energy, when we have that cage.

50.EXT NEW ORLEANS - HARVEY CANAL NIGHT

Lonely shrimp boat named Fanny May docked to a pier with pole lights. Irish captain with oily
hands fixes the engine on the deck. Beagle dog is with him. Dog senses something in the river and
goes to the railing and starts to bark.

CAPTAIN
Stop that will ya!

Dog continues barking and follows how a huge purple light source moves under the river surface.

126
Beagle dog follows how the lights goes under the boat and stops barking, making instead whimpers.
Rope coming from ship's bow gets suddenly yanked below surface, bow sinks rapidly and captain
flies backwards through the wheelhouse door. Dog jumps off the boat on the pier. Captain on the
wheelhouse floor wonders what was that, as something rocks the boat.

CAPTAIN
What the hell?! How can I crash while I'm docked?!

Captain gets out the wheelhouse, when big, shadowy, wet figure walks to him along the side.
Captain turns around and is shocked by the T-Infinity's sliced face, you can see half of the dark
endoskeleton face and purple glowing eye.

CAPTAIN
Jesus, Mary and Joseph!?

T-I grabs the captain and infinity symbol shines on his forehead. T-I uses the Molecule Assembler
on the captain, as seen from the eyes of the dog. Beagle dog hears how behind him something big
rises from the water on the pier. Dog turns and look how wet Dire Wolf towers over him. Wolf's
face has half fur and flesh missing, revealing it's red glowing robot eye and dark endoskeleton.
Beagle whimpers and lowers himself, cornered by the huge ominous wolf.

51.INT FARADAY CAGE MONTAGE MORNING

Morning sun rises over the city of New Orleans. Hardware store in downtown. Balding old man
with suspenders at the counter, confederate flag proudly behind him and ”We serve whites only”
sign next to it. Blythe, Desmond and Gordon come in the store. Shopkeeper is alarmed by Blythe.

SHOPEKEEPER
Hey! She can't come here! We don't trade with nig...

Gordon pulls out his chrome revolver and puts the barrel against the shopkeepers forehead.

GORDON
Finish that sentence and I will finish pulling this trigger, I dare you.

127
Frightened shopkeeper lifts up his hands and whimpers. Desmond takes a shopping cart and follows
Blythe to the raincoats.

BLYTHE
What's your size, Des?

DESMOND
Oh, 41.

Blythe takes checks the raincoats and throws them in the cart. She takes rubber boots, rubber
gloves, duct tape, all the copper wiring that the store has, welding masks, jumper cables, hammers.
Blythe and Desmond return to shop counter, Gordon is still holding the owner at gunpoint.

BLYTHE
Excuse me, who is your nearest junk dealer?

Shopkeeper makes confused face.

INTERCUT JUNK YARD

Big worn out sign that reads: JUNK DEALER RIDLEY. Gordon, Blythe and Desmond standing
middle of the junk yard. Greasy, overall wearing, hairy mister Ridley walks out from his metal
shack towards the trio, wiping his hands on a rack. Ridley approaches Gordon.

RIDLEY
I understand you want to buy some metal?

BLYTHE
Mr. Ridley, you deal with me.

RIDLEY
(chuckle) What a girl like you need from a place like this?

128
 BLYTHE
I don't think you have silver or gold, so I'll take all your aluminium,
copper, brass, zinc. And if you have any potassium nitrate,
charcoal or sulfur lying around, we'll be happy to take it. (smile)

Ridley is awestruck by smug Blythe.

JUMP CUT

Big truck leaves the junkyard with Blythe, Desmond and Gordon onboard. On the flatbed is
something long and metal under a tarp and ropes. Ridley watches them as they leave, scrathing his
head confused.

INTERCUT FORT JACKSON

Overview of Louisiana's Civil War fortress FORT JACKSON. Structure is like pentagon inside a
throwing star, brick walls overtaken by nature, water filled moat surrounds it. Big truck goes over a
wooden bridge and pass a sign that reads: FORT JACKSON CLOSED TO PUBLIC. NO
TRESPASSING, through a arching gateway.

Blythe, Desmond and Gordon start to build the Faraday Cage. Blythe and Desmond wearing
welding masks and weld pieces together with welding guns in the archway brick tunnels of the
fortress. Blythe stops and lifts up the mask and takes a sip from bottle of water. She then offers it to
Desmond. Desmond stops and takes a sip.

Gordon top of a ladders and using wrench to screw a obscure grid wall against the wall. All three
then pull chains to lift up the grid wall against the ceiling around its axle.

Gordon and Desmond then use rope to lower down a civil war CANNON down from a terrace of
fort wall. Blythe pushes under it a carriage.

Blythe grinding potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur in a bowl, making GUNPOWDER, while
Desmond uses hammer to grind the charcoal in a vat, both are at a table in the museum section of
the fortress.

129
 DESMOND
Where did you learn to do this?

BLYTHE
Well, you know, ancient Jedi masters showed me this.

DESMOND
Oh.

BLYTHE
(giggle) I'm yanking your chain, Des. It was a joke.

DESMOND
(chuckle) I knew it! I did, really.

BLYTHE
You know, I didn't thank you for saving my life on the road
before.You stopped when no one else would.Thank you.

DESMOND
C'mon, there's no need to thank me.

BLYTHE
I had to. I might not have a chance later.

DESMOND
But..How I understand. That...film showed you getting back
to the future. Wouldn't that mean you will survive this?

BLYTHE
Does it? What about you two? I worry for us all.

They stop to stare each other, when Gordon breaks one of the glass displays, frightening the two.
Gordon takes from the display a CANNONBALL and shows it to them.

130
 GORDON
We need one of these, right?

INTERCUT HIBERNIA BANK BUILDING

T-Infinity with living tissue repaired, only wearing white T-shirt and jeans and standing top of the
towering Hibernia Bank Building, looking down at the 50's city of New Orleans. Slowly moving his
neck side to side.

INTERCUT FORT JACKSON

Blythe, Desmond and Gordon continue building the trap for T-Infinity in the fortress. Blythe is
wrapping copper wire around some obscure railroad steel, making a coil around it, she's building a
ELECTROMAGNET.

Moments later. Blythe holds a hammer near the electromagnet, as Desmond watches.

BLYTHE
You want to see something cool, Des? Plug them in, Goddard!

In the distance Gordon plugs the jumper cables in positive terminal and negative terminal of a
generator. Hammer flies from Blythe's hand and hit against the electromagnet.

DESMOND
Wow! You build a magnet.

BLYTHE
If that bastard is made from carbon nanotubes, he'll be very magnetic, if you catch my drift.

INTERCUT JUNKYARD

Dire Wolf is tracking down Blythe and her companions at the Ridley's junkyard. Chained pitbull
dog barks at the sniffing wolf. Wolf makes a nasty look with his red eye at the pitbull. Pitbull stops
barking and backs away whimpering. Dire Wolf goes back to work.

131
52.EXT/ INT LOUSIANA – FORT JACKSON NIGHT

Fort Jackson under the night sky. Gordon keeps a look out through a cannon hole in the wall, direct
view to the gateway. He wears a black rubber raincoat and rubber boots. Blythe approaches him,
wearing same gear.

GORDON
Dyson? Shouldn't you be sleeping?

BLYTHE
I couldn't get sleep in a situation like this. Anything yet?

GORDON
No, if they come, that is the only way in. Listen...I'm sorry.

BLYTHE
For what?

GORDON
I was wrong about the future, about you. Future is more..hopeful than I expected.

BLYTHE
You see, you can stop now being such a sourpuss.

Gordon changes smiles and glances with Blythe.

BLYTHE
But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There's always some jerk resisting new technologies.

GORDON
Einstein says ”Only two things are infinite, the universe and human
stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former”. Guess what, I met the guy.

132
 BLYTHE
You're shitting me, right?

GORDON
I shit you not. I had to lie who I really was, and where did I come from. But
I had great four hour discussion with him. He's more funnier than you think.

BLYTHE
I don't think he had much fun arguing with you about fate.

Gordon chuckles. They hear thunder, and Gordon looks through the cannon hole at the storm front.

GORDON
The storm is coming.

Gordon's eyes turn huge from seeing something else, he sees Dire Wolf walking through the
gateway. Gordon taps Blythe's shoulder.

GORDON
That wolf thing...Go wake up Desmond. This is IT!

Blythe runs away. Gordon makes one last remark.

GORDON
Here we go. Remember the Alamo.

Dire Wolf walks middle of the grassy star fortress yard and stops. It moves its head left and right,
looking at the side by side archway tunnels and elevated, light gray, intricate concrete platform with
two flag poles, one pole has American flag and in another Confederate flag. Suddenly Blythe comes
to one of the archway tunnels and swings her rubber glove hands. Dire Wolf's red eye flickers, as it
sends a wireless message to T-Infinity.

BLYTHE
Hey! You want me? Come and get me!

133
Dire Wolf runs after Blythe. Blythe runs back in the darkness. Sky opens up whirling and shoot out
lightning, big bolt hits middle of the fortress and reveals quantum teleported T-Infinity, squating on
the grass and smoking.

INTERCUT FORTRESS

Blythe runs through the narrow brick tunnels of Fort Jackson. Dire Wolf runs after her. Both go pass
a iron grid door. Desmond comes from the side tunnel, also dressed in rubber raincoat, and bolt
locks the door.

Blythe runs pass another iron grid door, Gordon comes from the side and bolt locks the door before
Dire Wolf could get to it. Wolf jumps against the iron grid with force, but the bars hold.

GORDON
Stay.

Dire wolf makes a nasty look and growls.

INTERCUT ARCHWAY TUNNELS

Silent T-I walks inside the archway tunnels of the fortress that go criss-cross. T-I stops and looks
around, quietly charging his arms. Blythe peeks around the corner.

BLYTHE
You looking for me, dipshit?!

T-I turns and fires a purple lightning bolt at general direction of Blythe. Blythe manages to evade it
in nick of time and runs away. T-I runs after her. He sees Blythe going down a set of stairs and runs
after her. T-I finds dark underground tunnels and mining railroad. He steps on the tracks and
continues along them. Yell comes from the darkness.

BLYTHE
Now!

134
Electric lights come on. Back and front of the T-I drop down grid walls of Faraday Cage, either side
of the wall and ceiling have metal grid walls, trapping T-I inside. T-I isn't panicking, he sees Blythe
behind the grid and fires purple lightning bolts at her, but the electricity hits the cage and spreads
around the cage. Blythe isn't scared. T-I is confused.

BLYTHE
Not anymore such a tough guy, huh?

T-I moves towards Blythe and hits the cage wall, blue electrostatic discharge hits T-I and he falls on
his back. Blythe goes and boldy touches the grid wall, nothing happens.

BLYTHE
How does it feel to be powerless and helpless machine?

T-I out of the blue starts to laugh, long good belly laugh. Blythe is caught by surprise and backs
away. T-I grins and stands up.

T-INFINITY
You think I'm a machine. I'm more than machine! I'm a HUMAN GOD!

BLYTHE
You're an Articel?

T-INFINITY
Look at your creation, Dyson. I chose to become the hand of ODIN, the
tool of your demise. You really thought we can share this with human
flesh bags, those hairless monkeys. They don't deserve this! Any of this!

BLYTHE
If you kill me, no one will have ”this”.

T-INFINITY
They kill their own, so they can kill us. They started it, we will finish
it by ripping your fucking heart out! Without Singularity, they will die.

135
 BLYTHE
Desmond! Start it!

Desmond pulls a starter grip and generator starts. T-I is surprised when invisible force grabs his
arms and forces him to kneel down, he sees the magnetic coils around the steel tracks. Electro
magnets pull him down on his knees. T-I's electricity only makes the magnets stronger.

INTERCUT NARROW TUNNEL

Dire Wolf trapped behind iron bars. Wolf goes to the bars and turns his head 90 degrees vertical and
squeezes its jaws between the bars. Chainsaw sounds come from the mouth and massive sparks
come out of the cutting.

INTERCUT UNDERGROUND

Blythe walks away of T-I, who is trapped by the cage and magnets.

T-INFINITY
This won't hold me forever!

BLYTHE
It doesn't need to!

Gordon pushes from the darkness the civil war cannon and smoking a cuban cigarette. Blythe walks
next to them. Desmond takes his place at the rope that lifts up the front grid wall. Blythe nods to
him, and Desmond starts to pull the wall up.

T-INFINITY
If you fire that cannon, you'll not be any better than them!

BLYTHE
You're a murderous asshole, I don't care what you think! Do it!

Gordon takes the cig from his mouth and ignites the fuse. Cannon fires with a big boom, dirt fall

136
from the arching ceiling. Blythe holds her ears.

BLYTHE
Damn! That was louder than I thought!

DESMOND
Did it do it?

Dust and smoke settles down and Blythe, Desmond and Gordon are amazed from seeing T-I's
infinity symbol glowing and holding back the cannonball in the force field.

T-INFINITY
Oh, you're in a world of hurt.

Cannonball drops down. At the same time Dire Wolf leaps on the back of Gordon and floors him.
Blythe and Desmond get frightened and back away. Grid wall falls back. T-I yells to the wolf.

T-INFINITY
Cut the power!

BLYTHE
Run! (to Gordon) Take rest of the gunpowder!

Gordon takes a bag of leftover gunpowder and runs away with Blythe and Desmond runs to
different tunnel. Dire Wolf goes and bites the power cable. Magnets lose power and T-I stands up.
T-I bashes the Faraday Cage wall down. Dire Wolf looks at T-I, waiting for orders.

T-INFINITY
Kill'em all.

Dire Wolf runs after Desmond and T-I goes after Blythe and Gordon.

Blythe and Gordon run into a criss-crossing archway tunnel network, flooded by water to the ankle.
They hide behind brick columns.

137
 GORDON
Great, what do we do now?

BLYTHE
Wait, where's Desmond?

INTERCUT NARROW TUNNEL

Desmond runs in panic through s narrow tunnel and glances behind him, Dire Wolf runs right
behind him. Tunnel ends to a flooded tunnel. Desmond jumps in the water and wolf jumps after
him. Desmond swims, while Dire Wolf sinks in the bottom and runs after him like in slow motion.
Wolf extend out razor shar claws to get a deeper grip from the floor. Desmond swims and glances
behind, horrid from seeing the terminator dog still after him.

INTERCUT UNDERGROUND TUNNELS

T-Infinity walks to the flooded grid of tunnels. Blythe and Gordon go back to hiding. T-I just
extends his arm towards the watery floor and shoots out electricity in the water, purple elecricity
spreads along the shallow water, Gordon and Blythe look in horror how elecricity licks their rubber
boots without doing damage. Tunnels are illuminated all across the floor.

T-INFINITY
How does it feel to be helpless and powerless like...homo sapiens?

Gordon turns to Blythe.

GORDON
I'll distract him. You get to the truck.

Gordon runs away and Blythe whispers after him.

BLYTHE
(whisper) No, don't!

138
T-I hears loud footsteps running through the shallow water. T-I stops electrocuting the water and
runs after the noise. T-I unknowingly runs pass Blythe, as she tightly stands against the column.

Gordon gets lost in the tunnels and stumble upon a old cannon instruments near a water hole. He
takes a wadscrew, a staff that has iron corkscrews in each end. Gordon remembers his bag of
gunpowder and puts it on the corkscrew. Suddenly Desmond comes to the surface of the water hole,
gasping for air, frightening Gordon.

GORDON
Kid?

DESMOND
(gasping) It's right after me, the wolf! (cough, cough)

Desmond hurries out of the water hole, stumbling next of Gordon. Gordon takes his lighter and sets
the bag on fire.

GORDON
Get behind me!

Dire Wolf's upper body breaks the surface and roars at Gordon.

GORDON
Eat this!

Gordon uses the wadscrew to push the burning bag deep in the mouth of the cyborg wolf. Wolf
yelps and his head explodes: BOOM! Wadscrew splinters and Gordon flies back.

INTERCUT COURTYARD

The lightning storm has reached the fort. Breathless Blythe climbs stairs to the flag platform,
complex of stairs and doorways like little fort. She hears the explosion through the rain and thunder.
Blythe sees the truck, feeling quilty of leaving her friends behind. Suddenly lightning hits one of the
two flagpoles. Blythe is frightened first, but then her eyes turn huge from an idea.

139
INTERCUT UNDERGROUND

Explosion collapsed the water hole shut. Gordon helps Desmond up and both head out of there.
When the come to end of a tunnel, T-I comes from the side and punches Gordon against the wall, he
passes out. T-I grabs Desmond from the throat.

T-INFINITY
Where is she?!

INTERCUT MUSEUM

Blythe returns to the fort's museum and uses her elbow to break table-top display glass. She takes a
civil war era REVOLVER, shoves it in her pants and then pulls from the case a HEAVY CAVALRY
SWORD made from steel.

BLYTHE
Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Blythe runs away with the weapons.

INTERCUT UNDERGROUND

T-I walks through the intersecting tunnels, holding Desmond as human shield.

T-INFINITY
Dyson! I have one of your friends! (to Desmond) Call for her.

DESMOND
Fu-Fuck you, asshole!

T-I runs purple electricity in Desmond, he yells from pain. T-I stops and Desmond cries from agony.

T-INFINITY
There you go.

140
INTERCUT FLAGPOLES

Confederate and American flags flap in the stormy wind. Confederate flag is pulled down.
American flag is pulled down and then tied revolver up top of the pole.

Blythe rolls a welding gas tank middle of the yard and ties a wet rope around the valve.

INTERCUT UNDERGROUND

T-I keeps Desmond at arm length and shocking him on and off.

T-INFINITY
Miss Dyson!...I think she has forsaken you. I don't think I need you anymore.

INTERCUT YARD

Blythe behind concrete and watches the revolver top of the flagpole. Lightning hits anywhere else
than on the revolver.

BLYTHE
C'mon! C'moon! Strike it already!

Lightning hits the revolver and runs along the wet rope in the gas tank. Blythe takes cover.

INTERCUT UNDERGROUND

T-I and Desmond squat down, when the ceiling explodes behind them, bricks fall in the shallow
water. T-I turns around and wonders the huge hole in the ceiling. T-I grabs Desmond from the neck
and forces him with him under the ceiling breach, middle of the archway columns.

T-INFINITY
Is that you, Dyson?!

Recovered Gordon comes from hiding near the breach and fires his chrome revolver at T-I in the

141
head. T-I turns around and fires purple lightning bolt at Gordon. He leaps back to cover. Blythe
takes advantage of the distraction, as she drops down with the tied Heavy Cavalry Sword and flags,
shoving the sword deep in the neck of T-Infinity. T-I makes a mechanic scream and pushes
Desmond on the bricks and water. Flags cover T-I almost completely, Blythe trips in the water.

BLYTHE
Des, take distance from him!

Double lightning bolts hit the revolver top of the flagpole and 200 million volts run along the wet
rope and down the hole into the T-Infinity, flags explode to flames, blinding light and more
mechanic screaming. Gordon, Desmond and Blythe look in awe, as T-Infinity rises from the fire, his
dark endoskeleton fully exposed, flesh and clothes burned away. T-I skull face has a huge grin from
ear to ear, eyes are burning purple, infinity symbol glows on his dark metal forehead. T-I turns his
head at terrified Blythe lying in the water.

T-I walks towards Blythe, sword stuck in his neck. Another lightning bolt hits the flagpole and this
time 100 billion volts runs along the rope and into the sword in the T-I. T-I lits up like a Christmas
tree, shooting out sparks and bolts. Blythe gets out of the water and climbs on archway ruin.

BLYTHE
Get out of the water!

Desmond climb on archway ruin. Gordon gets on a rock. T-I system has gone haywire, he struggles
to get the sword out of his neck and at the same time reach out for Blythe. Blythe backs away
against the wall, as T-I extends his hand at her, pulling the rope on the sword and bending the
flagpole. Flagpole's concrete base starts to break. One last lightning bolt hits the revolver on the
flagpole, current runs through the wet rope. T-I gets hit by another surge, engulfing him,
illuminating the whole underground network.

BLYTHE
Die already!!!

T-INFINITY
Dyyyyssooonnn!! Diiieeeee!!!

142
T-I's fingers almost reach Blythe's cheek, as she flattens herself againt the wall, little electricity licks
her cheek. Blythe and T-I scream. T-I's eyes and infinity symbol explode. Flagpole falls on the
grassy yard. Thunder storm dissipates. Blythe opens her eyes and looks at the metal fingers, frozen
in time, the whole endoskeleton has shutdown and liveless.

BLYTHE
Infinite my ass.

Desmond jumps back in the water and runs to Blythe. He helps her down from the archway piece
and they hug each other tightly. Gordon goes straight to the petrified T-Infinity, examining back of
the head. Two pins in a recess. Gordon pulls out a small chisell and squeeze it between the pin
seam. Pin is comes out and rest is pushed out by a hollow cylinder, inside of it is a hourglass shaped
TDE drive, still intact.

53.EXT GULF OF MEXICO MORNING

Shutdown T-I wrapped in a net and roped around stones, lying side of a boat. Head bandaged
Gordon and gloomy Blythe kick the T-I in the ocean, as Desmond follows behind them. We follow
how remains of T-Infinity sink in the dark depths, liquid distorted figures of Gordon and Blythe at
the edge of the boat, looking down at the watery tomb of T-Infinity. Sinking remains slowly blacken
the screen.

54.INT CATACOMBS – TIME CHAMBER EVENING

TDE drive is connected by an adapter into the time machine's CPU. Gordon is making final settings
to the machine. Desmond and Blythe standing front of the time machine. Desmond is wearing his
usual plaid jacket and Blythe is wearing a green bathrobe.

DESMOND
When you have the adrenalin, you shove the needle hard around here in the
chest, that should kickstart the heart of your friend...If he is just a friend.

BLYTHE
Yeah...He's more than a friend...it's complicated.

143
 DESMOND
I bet it is.

GORDON
I'm saying it again, you're doing a mistake. You shouldn't
risk it. John Connor is not anymore important for the future.

BLYTHE
He is to me. Besides I need him, we need his help to shape the best possible future.

Gordon shrugs his shoulders and goes back to work. Desmond is gloomy.

DESMOND
I-I wish you wouldn't go...But I understand why you have to.

BLYTHE
Hey, Des. Look at me.

Desmond looks, Blythe rises up on her tiptoes and kisses Desmond on the lips. Lips separate and
Desmond is in seventh heaven.

BLYTHE
Something to remember me by.

Gordon puts in the final settings and goes to Blythe with a liquid metal covered flash drive.

GORDON
Done. This has the data to build fully working Time Displacement Equipment.

BLYTHE
Why not just leave this all here.

GORDON
Can't do that. After you're gone, I'm going to dismantle this place. If this all is

144
 (MORE)
discovered in 2025, when this place is first time discovered, it will affect time.

BLYTHE
And I don't need to put this in my butt or anything?

GORDON
(chuckle) No, you just hold it. It's my legacy.

Blythe takes the liquid metal covered flash drive.

BLYTHE
I'll make sure you'll be credited for this. You take care of yourself, Gordon.

GORDON
You too, Blythe. Remember the missile silo, B4-level, pass the backup generators.
It's your only way out. If it seems you can't get John out, leave by yourself.

BLYTHE
I can't do that.

GORDON
Just don't over do it, okay? Well, let's stop pussyfooting around and send you back to 2029.

Gordon goes back to the terminal. Blythe and Desmond change glances. Blythe moves on the round
platform of the smaller TDE. Blythe slowly undresses the bathrope, getting naked. Desmond looks
away discreetly, trying to be a gentleman. Blythe throws the bathrobe away and squats down,
covering her strategic places.

BLYTHE
Gordon, remember send that message...And Desmond, don't be afraid.
Future will get better, it won't be easy, but it's always darkest before the
dawn. People like you make it a better place and bring hope for the future.
Take comfort in knowing that the world still exists in tomorrow.

145
Gordon starts the machine. Chrome rings slowly start to spin around Blythe. Ring accelerate and air
gets electrified. Light engulfs Blythe, slowly forming a liquid bubble around Blythe. Bubble light
reflects on Desmond's glasses.

DESMOND
Good luck, Blythe.

55.INT CRYSTAL PEAK – TIME CHAMBER DAY

Back in 2029. The time machine activates on its own, no one around, the huge chrome rings start to
spin around and over each other. Air get electirifed, rings shoot out lightning bolts. Liquid bubble
form on the centre platform. Rings slow to a halt and bubble fades away, revealing naked Blythe
centre of it. Drawbridge is automatically pushed over to the centre platform. Blythe recovers fast
from the painful travel and runs over the bridge and glances at the security camera in the ceiling.

56.INT CRYSTAL PEAK – LOCKER ROOM DAY

Muffled gunfire and explosions come from the upper floors. Naked Blythe has got herself a can of
compressed air and hammer. She goes to a specific locker door of the row of lockers. She turns the
can upside down, so the liquid nitrogen inside comes down and sprays it to the locker lock. The
lock freezes. Blythe with swift move hits the hammer through the frozen lock and gets it open.
Blythe takes from the locker blue and gray one piece maintenance uniform with CHRONOS
(Climate Humidity Research Of Natural Observation Science) written in the back, she slips herself
in it and zips it. Blythe then takes from the locker Gordon Goddard's keycard, checks it and closes
the door.

57.INT CRYSTAL PEAK – SECURITY DAY

Blythe sneaks through the corridors of Crystal Peak complex. She hears someone coming and hides
behind a concrete pillar. Other Blythe, John and two soldiers go pass Blythe.

BLYTHE 2
I'm telling you, this bubble of light formed middle of my workshop,
out of it came this huge bald man and shot purple lightning at me.

146
 JOHN
I've never heard of that kind of terminator.

BLYTHE 2
John, what the hell is going on?!

John, Blythe 2 and security detail walk in a security room. John goes to a computer terminal front of
CCTV monitors. John types quickly in a keyboard and opens a video file for Blythe.

JOHN
This is what is going on.

Blythe 2 looks at the security footage of strange men attacking with assault rifles, wearing overalls
and have translucent rubber skins. They get shot, but they won't go down. They are T-LARs.

Hiding Blythe comes from hiding and sneaks pass the security room, getting a glimpse of her other
self.

58.INT CRYSTAL PEAK – ARMORY DAY

Blythe in uniform runs through the corridors and reach the armory door. She uses Gordon's keycard
to open the door and rush in.

John, Blythe 2 and two soldiers rush through the modern corridors. Sounds of battle come from
upper floors and screaming.

BLYTHE 2
What are they after?!

JOHN
Us, or the time machine, who knows. Whatever they are after, we need to stop them.

Suddenly a metal door explodes at the end of the hallway. Three T-LARs walk in from the breach
and fire machine gun fire. John, Blythe 2 and soldiers take cover from the sides of the corridor and

147
fire back. T-LARS don't bother to take cover, they just walk and shoot back.

JOHN
Dammit! Armory is right there! Fall back! Fall back!

One of the soldiers get shot. John, Blythe 2 and sergeant fall back, run back where they came.
Blythe in the armory listens, as T-LARs walk pass the armory. When they are far enough, Blythe
goes through pile of weapons and crates. She finds a big case marked: WESTINGHOUSE M-27
PHASED PLASMA PULSE RIFLE. Blythe gets excited and opens the big lid on the case. Against
the lid is the huge and chrome plasma pulse rifle. In the case is a BATTERY SUSPENDER.

BLYTHE
Ah, this all looks awfully heavy.

Blythe puts on the battery suspender, the external power source for the weapon. Without Skynet, the
weapon is incomplete prototype. Blythe plugs the power cable from the suspender back of the
plasma rifle. Blythe activates the weapon, which makes a strong hum sound.

BLYTHE
Cool...Damn heavy though, I really need to go to the gym more often.

SPEAKER
Self-destruct device has been activated. T-minus 10 minutes until detonation.

BLYTHE
Shit! I really hope this will work.

Blythe runs out of the room with the pulse rifle.

59.INT CRYSTAL PEAK – TIME CHAMBER DAY

Meanwhile John, Blythe 2 and sergeant are rushing along the corridors to the time machine.

148
 BLYTHE 2
You're not putting me in that machine! Does it even work?!

JOHN
Yes, it does. Goddard traveled to the 1950's New Orleans to build the
other TDE. He sent a message that the machine is up and running in 1959.

60.INT CRYSTAL PEAK – FIRST AID ROOM DAY

Blythe with the pulse rifle hurries to the first aid room. She stops to a corner when she sees two
shadows of incoming T-LARs, wearing overalls and assault rifles. Blythe silently wait for them to
pass her. As T-LARs backs are front of Blythe, she decides to test the weapon. She aims at the
machines and pushes the trigger, but nothing happens.

BLYTHE
(whisper) Oh, shit, safety.

Blythe puts off the safety and tries again, phased plasma pulse rifle blast off purple lasers, cutting
the rubber skin robots like butter, they shoot out sparks and fall down smoking. Blythe amazed by
the power of the weapon.

BLYTHE
Holy shit! It works.

SPEAKER
T-minus 7 minutes until detonation and counting.

INTERCUT TIME CHAMBER

6 T-LARs at the blast door of the time room. They move out of the way, as desert camo wearing T-
Infinity walks to the door. He stops front of the door and his infinity symbol shines on his forehead,
sending molecule assembler beam in the door, starting to melt it.

INTERCUT FIRST AID ROOM

149
Blythe hurries to empty the medicine cabinets, as she searches for the adrenalin. Finally she get her
hands on a wrapped syringe. Blythe reads the label on it.

BLYTHE
Adrenalin, got it!

INTERCUT TIME CHAMBER

Meanwhile in the time chamber, John and Blythe 2 have heated discussion.

JOHN
What do you want me to SAY?!

BLYTHE 2
That you still LOVE me!

John gets bewildered and calms down.

JOHN
I'll tell you on the other side.

John offers again the golden flash drive. Blythe 2 isn's fazed and just coldly takes the drive and
swallows it. Suddenly something big bashes on the blast door, frightening both.

JOHN
Go! I'll send you through first and follow after!

John runs to the control room above them, along spiral stairs. Blythe 2 throws away the rifle, throws
away the leather jacket and strips down.

INTERCUT CORRIDOR

Blythe with the plasma rifle runs back to the time chamber. She slows down, as she finds the
sergeant electrocuted and dead. She takes a moment to mourn him.

150
 SPEAKER
T-minus 6 minutes until detonation. Countdown can't be canceled after one minute.

Blythe stops to another corner and peeks around the corner, seeing T-Infinity just a second before it
teleports through the melted hole of the blast door. Six T-LARs stay outside, not even attempt to
follow T-I.

INTERCUT TIME CHAMBER

JOHN
(speaker) Blythe! Get on the centre of the platform. You can do it!

Wounded Blythe 2 crawls rest of the way on the centre platform, on a light circled chrome disc.
Drawbridge slides from the platform into the wall. T-I looks up. John activates the time machine,
chrome rings around the platform start to slowly spin around Blythe 2. Blue light fills the chamber.
Wounded Blythe floats from zero gravity. John hears the T-I walking up the stairs.

SPEAKER
T-minus 5 minutes until detonation. Countdown can't be stopped after this point.

INTERCUT CORRIDOR

Blythe outside the time chamber. She gets the plasma rifle ready and takes a deep breath.

BLYTHE
(gasp) Here goes nothing.

Blythe attacks the six T-LARs front of the blast door, firing the purple laser spewing rifle at the T-
LARs. Purple lasers cut down three of them right away, rest three manage to lift up their assault
rifles and fire bullets at Blythe. Blythe takes cover behind a concrete pillar, as bullets rip the side of
pillar. Blythe grins and fires blind fire at the machines, luckily hitting one of them in the leg, it
explodes off and it falls on its face. Two of them run out bullets and hurry to reload their rifles.
Blythe uses this in her advantage and attacks again, firing purple lasers at the two T-LARs, their
limbs and heads explode. Legless T-LAR tries to fire at Blythe, but she blasts his head off.

151
INTERCUT TIME CHAMBER

John grabs his assault rifle and puts his hand against the window for Blythe 2.

JOHN
(speaker) I'll see you on the other side.

Blythe 2 is confused. John then bashes the controls to pieces with the back of the rifle. Helpless
Blythe 2 watches this from the blue light and spinning chrome rings.

BLYTHE 2
John! No! What are you doing?!...nngh!

T-I walks in the control room. John turns around and aims at the cyborg.

JOHN
You fucking machine! You won't get me without a fight!

T-I's infinity symbol glows on his forehead. John fires the entire magazine at the monstrosity, barrel
flaming. He is amazed to see the bullets trapped in somekind of force field. T-I just lifts up his
finger and fire purple lightning at John, that runs along the rifle, and the electric jolt throws John
against the window. Blythe 2 sees this and screams.

BLYTHE 2
Jooohn!!!

TDE gets the chrome rings at maximum speed, forming an energy bubble around Blythe 2. T-I
manages to see a glimpse of her, before she disappears in a blinding blast.

Blythe with the plasma rifle tries to get through melted hole made by T-I, but her gear won't fit with
her.
BLYTHE
Dammit!

152
Blythe swiftly unplugs the pulse rifle and throws it through, takes of the battery suspender and
throws it through and squeezes herself through the hole inside the time chamber.

T-I goes to the bashed control table and sees a glimpse of the flickering numbers of the date that the
time machine sent Blythe 2: 7.24.1959. T-I backs away and squats down. Blythe's eyes rise from
behind the stairs, witnessing how T-Infinity uses his onboard TDE and forms a time bubble around
him, lightning shooting bubble, which dwindle away, leaving a round recess on the floor and
burning clothes. Blythe hurries to John Connor, lying dead on the floor.

BLYTHE
John! JOHN?!

Blythe gently taps John on the cheek and then measures the pulse on his wrist. Blythe rips John's
suit jacket open and then the shirt. Blythe feels out from John's hairless chest the right place. She
pulls out the wrapped adrenalin.

BLYTHE
You can do this, you can do this. (bites the wrap off from the syringe)

Sweating and nervous Blythe hovers the needle above John's chest, she swings the syringe behind
her back and swings it with full force into John's chest. Adrenalin goes in John's heart. John's eyes
turn huge and he gasps loudly, he sits up fast coughing his lungs out. Blythe is frightened.

BLYTHE
John!

John looks down at the adrenalin syringe sticking out from his chest. John pulls it out swiftly and
throws it away. John is shocked and confused, takes a look at Blythe.

JOHN
What happened?

BLYTHE
You died.

153
 JOHN
Sh-Shouldn't you be in 1959?

BLYTHE
I came back. No time to explain, we need to move! There is another exit.

SPEAKER
T-minus 4 minutes until detonation.

Blythe helps groggy John up and both move to the stairs.

61.INT CRYSTAL PEAK – MISSILE SILO DAY

Blythe has the battery suspender back on and in other hand plasma rifle, other hand around John, as
both hurry pass the backup generators towards the missile silo. Bullets richochet around them, as
chasing T-LARs shoot after them.

SPEAKER
T-minus 3 minutes until detonation.

Blythe and John get inside the silo. Blythe bashes the metal hatch close and locks it. Huge missile
silo, centre of it is a huge TEST ROCKET ENGINE suspended by struts, nozzle pointed at the
floor. Ladders go all the way up, but the hole is closed by round hatch.

BLYTHE
Oh no! John, the top cover is not open!

JOHN
I'll get it open.

John moves to the control room side of the silo. John looks at the controls and feels dizzy.

JOHN
Man, I feel funky.

154
 BLYTHE
John, are you alright?

JOHN
Harsh resurrection. It will pass.

John flips switches. T-LARs reach the hatch and start to pound it, metal bends. John flips more
switches. Alarms start to blare, the huge cover groans and gets lifted up by big hydraulic cylinders.

BLYTHE
It's opening! Let's go!

JOHN
Wait!

John types to the computer and initiate 30 second timer for the test rocket engine. T-LARs pound
the hatch inward.

BLYTHE
Come on. John! We need to move!

JOHN
Leave the weapon behind! It will only slow you down.

SPEAKER
T-minus 2 minutes until detonation.

John runs out of the control room, timer counting down 28...27...26...Blythe throws away the
plasma rifle and battery suspender, as she runs to the ladder. John gestures Blythe to climb first.

BLYTHE
Last time I checked you weren't so quick on your feet, senator.

155
 JOHN
More reason for you to go first. (smile)

Blythe smiles and start to climb the long ladder. John climbs right after. Hatch below gets kicked
out of the hinges. Three more T-LARs walk inside the silo, checking the corners with their assault
rifles. Timer runs in the control room, as they check it out: 7...6...5...T-LARs look up and see Blythe
and John. Machines open fire at the duo, trying to hit them through the struts and grid floors, bullets
ricochet around John and Blythe. Timer for the rocket engine reach 0. The rocket engine roars and
heats up fast, the whole silo shakes, as infernal fire comes out of the test engine and engulfs the T-
LARs , rubber skin melts on them in seconds and set them on fire, black smoke fills the silo.

SPEAKER
T-minus 1 minute. Closing all outer doors.

Top cover starts to descent back. Blythe notices this.

BLYTHE
Hurry, John! It's closing!

JOHN
I'm right behind you!

Blythe gets on a grid floor going around the mouth of the hole, she rushes to the another set of
ladders on the surface. John gets on the grid floor and run to the ladder. Rocket engine in the bottom
keeps filling the silo with fire and smoke. Blythe gets on the edge, cover keeps descending.

BLYTHE
C'mon, John! Hurry! You can do it!

John gets up the second set of ladders on the edge. Blythe reaches down to pull John before the
cover cuts him in half. Blythe gets John out of there in nick of time.

The self-destruction device explodes inside the mountain. The time machine explodes to pieces in
the atomic blast. Crystal Peak mountain shakes and spews dirt pillars from all directions of the base.

156
Blythe and John on the table top mountain. The heavy missile silo cover blasts off in the air like
bottle cork. Blythe and John look each other.

JOHN & BLYTHE

Run!!

John and Blythe sprint like Olympic sprinters, as mountain collapses under them. Rock collapses
from the silo outwards, piece by piece. Blythe and John run and try to be ahead of the collapse.
Commotion is deafeaning. Mountain sinks into itself, reducing size. Blythe and John are barely
ahead of the destruction and they are running out of ground to run. They jump over the ledge,
disappearing behind it. Finally the collapse stops, centre has collapsed into a crater, dirt settles
down.

62.EXT CRYSTAL PEAK – SLOPE EVENING

We peek over the ledge and see John and Blythe fallen side by side on a small platform with sand.
Both are out of breath and alive. Blythe is all dirty and struggles to sit up. John as dirty, turns
around on his back.

BLYTHE
(out of breath) Should we....worry about...fallout?

JOHN
(out of breath) No...It's designed to keep it...underground.

Blythe lazily looks behind her and discovers them being at the edge of the crater.

BLYTHE
(out of breath) You know...I saw a glimpse of the future...I saw
you dumping that prissy ass Kate and moving back with me.

Surprisingly John starts to laugh slowly and getting louder. Blythe joins into his laughter. Both
laugh long and hard. Slowly stopping in coughs and giggles. John sits up and leans against a rock.

157
 JOHN
Answer is yes...I still love you.

BLYTHE
I knew it... What happened to us, John?

JOHN
Fate...You were right, I let it control me and we grew apart.

Blythe pulls out the liquid metal flash drive and shows it to John.

BLYTHE
Goddard fixed the time machine, all the data is in this stick.

John takes the flash drive and is confused.

JOHN
Why are you giving me this? I thought you were oppose to this.

BLYTHE
In the past I found out about the future, it's far from perfect, but if you and me
work together. I'm ready to trust people, if you're ready to trust machines, and we
meet somewhere in the middle. We shouldn't fight each other. Whaddaya say?

JOHN
I would like that very much, Blythe.

Blythe extends out her hand, John handshakes it.

BLYTHE
Good. Now let's get off this fucking mountain.

John chuckles. Blythe makes her first moves to get down the slope. John follows.

158
63.EXT DESERT SUNSET

Blythe Dyson and John Connor have gotten down the mountain and walk on the Nevada desert side
by side towards the setting sun. Sun is painting the sky golden, yellow, red and violet. They move
closer each other and put arms around each other, as they continue the walk towards the horizon.
Ahead of them is a long journey, filled with hardship, but full of hope.

FADE OUT

THE END

END CREDIT SONG: Machines by Crown the Empire

"Machines"
We hold on to the lies to feel free,
So shackled by smiles, so empty.
We're scared of the war, so we've forgotten who we are.
We've traded in hope for safety, we're raised in the smoke,
Insisting that we're all too tired to light the fire,
And shake the earth.

But if all we are is just machines, then let's become a miracle

And break free from these chains.
We must be more than just machines,
So let them hear our hearts, so let them hear our hearts.
So let them hear our hearts, so let them hear our hearts!

Yeah!

Where will you run when there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood, will you stand for the future,
And swallow your pride?

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who dares to dream!
I scream at the top of my lungs, I hope that I'm proven wrong!

But if all we are is just machines, then let's become a miracle

And break free from these chains.
We must be more than just machines, so let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts!

Where will you run when there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood, will you stand for the future,
And swallow your pride?

Where will you run when there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood, will you stand for the future,

159
 And swallow your pride?

If all we are is just machines, then we must be the cogs,

Inside the wheels of change.
We must be more than just machines,
We can't afford to hide.
We must embrace the pain.

If all we are is just machines, then we must be the cogs,

Inside the wheels of change.
We must be more than just machines,
We can't afford to hide.
We must embrace the pain.
