Better than

three-day old coyote.

Hey, hey!

- Grab it.

- What?

Grab it.

Magic.

- Got it?

- Yeah.

Thanks.

Does this radio work?

No.

My dad

tried to fix it, but...

He could never get it

to work.

Hold that.

Where is everybody?

They're gone.

So why are you

still here?

'Cause we're the Resistance.

L.A. branch.

Welcome

to the headquarters.

Resistant to what?

Machines.

Skynet.

Just the two of you?

Yeah.

How come you're not wearing

one of these?

'Cause I haven't

earned mine, yet.

I hope

he's listening to this.

We've been fighting

a long time,

and we've all lost

so very much,

so many loved ones gone.

But you are

not alone.

There are pockets of Resistance

all around the planet.

We are at the brink...

Do a sea magic trick.

Hold that up.

Press the button.

If we had to finally...

less than 100 meters.

We've had

a lot of firepower

but the T-600's

are heavy,

and slow

their primitive design.

Who is that?

If you can help

or no...

- I don't know.

- then you have one option.

Their motor cortex...

is partially exposed

to the back of their neck.

A knife

to this area will disorientate

their tracking device

but not for long.

Above all,

stay alive.

You have no idea...

how important you are

and how important

you will become.

The machines

are advancing even faster

than I told you

they would.

I've seen it

with my own eyes.

They were inventing

new Terminators.

New ways of killing us.

Skynet is planning

something big.

But the Resistance

is planning something bigger.

This is John Connor.

If you're

listening to this,

you are

the Resistance.

John Connor.

We gotta find

this guy.

So...

You get it working?

- Almost.

- Good.

Look, I figure

we head east, right?

We go

through the desert,

then we can connect

with the Resistance there.

I'm heading north.

No.

No, no, no, no.

The machines control

the whole Northern Sector

upto San Francisco.

That's Skynet's central.

I have

to find someone.

There's a lot

that you don't understand

about Skynet, okay?

It's just too dangerous

for us to go there.

What about

the L.A. branch?

Come on, man.

We need to get out of L.A.

[ Song:

Band:
Alice in Chains ]

What is that?

Something my brother

used to listen to.

Star, get out.

Don't look at me

like that, Star.

Get out.

Get out!

You're leaving?

You're gonna leave us?

Ah, I get it.

Do you want to know the difference

between us and the machines?

We bury our dead.

But no one is coming

to bury you.

Air attack!

- It's a chopper of a Terminator.

- Go! Drive!

They must have heard

the music.

Keep the steering.

I've never driven

before.

Hold the wheel.

Kyle Reese
