Terminator: Awakening (2015)/Transcript

(Warner Bros. Pictures logo starts as the static buzzes to the Warner Bros. Logo from 1995 then to Sarah Connor.)

Sarah Connor: It's like a giant strobe light burning right through my eyes. (sighs) Somehow I can still see.

(The static buzzes to the 20th Century Fox logo then to the 20th Century Fox logo from 1995 then to Sarah and Dr. Peter Silberman.)

The children look like burnt paper, black, not moving. And then, the blast wave hits them and they fly apart like leaves. (sobs)

Dr. Peter Silberman: Dreams of the end of the world are very common.

Sarah Connor: It's not a dream, you moron. It's real. I know the date it happens.

(The static buzzes to the logo for RatPac-Dune Entertainment and then the static buzzes to Sarah Connor.)

Dr. Peter Silberman: I'm sure it feels very real to you.

(The static buzzes to the Lightstorm Entertainment logo then the static buzzes to Sarah Connor who has a total freak out.)

Sarah Connor: On August 29, 1997 it's gonna feel pretty fuckin' real to you, too! Anybody not wearing two-million sunblock is gonna have a bad day. Get it? God, you think you're safe and alive? You're already dead. Everybody. Him, you! You're dead already! This whole place, everything you see is gone! You're the one living in a fucking dream! 'Cause I know it happened! It happened!

(The static buzzes to black and the scene fades up to the city of Los Angeles in the year of 2029 with a skeleton in a car while the credits say "Warner Bros. Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox present", "in association with RatPac-Dune Entertainment and TSG Entertainment", "a Lightstorm Entertainment/Valhalla Entertainment production", and "a Joseph Kosinski film". The camera pans up to a destroyed Los Angeles as text says "Los Angeles, 2029".)

Sarah Connor: (narrating) My name is Sarah Connor. There once was a future, in which humankind was hunted, by a machine that could think, and Terminators built to kill. A future without hope. August 29, 1997 was supposed to be Judgment Day.

(The T-800s and HK-Aerials walk and shoot lasers where they dodge red lasers. A T-800 endoskeleton aims his gun at the camera. The scene flashes to Los Angeles in May of 1999 as text appears and says "Los Angeles, May 19, 1999".)

Sarah Connor: But that future never happened because I changed it. Saved three billion lives, including my son, John Connor. We destroyed Cyberdyne Systems back in the year 1994.

(The scene goes to Sarah and John who leave the cinema after seeing "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace". A T-1000 walks behind Sarah and John. John gasps and sees T-1000 and T-800 in human form.)

Terminator: Get down.

(Sarah and John duck as T-800 kills T-1000 with a flamethrower. Sarah and John see T-1000 that was melted to termination then the scene goes to T-800's system as text says "T-1000. Target terminated". The scene goes to T-800 who gives Sarah and John his hand. Sarah and John stand up as they walk with the T-800.)

Sarah Connor: (narrating) The first Terminator tried to kill me in the year 1984 before my son was born. But they failed. The second Terminator was sent to protect my son from the dangers of the T-1000 when he was a child. And now, another Terminator was sent here to protect us. When the new war starts, we can change the course of history.

(The song plays "Theme from The Terminator" and the door closes as the title appears and says "Terminator: Awakening" then the opening credits roll. After the opening credits, the scene closes to the front of a truck. The truck's engine starts as it drives to a place at night and text appears and says "Los Angeles, Present Day". The time sphere appears as Hannah stands up naked and looks for clothes at the public bar. At the public bar, Hannah opens the door as the song plays "Guitars, Cadillacs" by Dwight Yoakam on jukebox. She searches for clothes as a woman gasps and sees her naked after she dances to it. She finds a woman that has the right clothes.)

Hannah: I'd like to have your finest clothes, please. (The patrons laugh)

Female Patron: Would you prefer to use your hand?

Hannah: Hell, yeah.

(Hannah places her hand on the female patron's shoulder.)

Female Patron: What are you doing?

(Hannah morphs into being clothed like the female patron.)

Female Patron: Oh, my God. You're just like the Martian from outer space or the shapeshifter from the future.

Hannah: Thanks. Now all I need is find a vehicle.

Female Patron: Sure. You may find one at one of the dealerships.

Hannah: Of course.

(Hannah walks to a used cars dealership while the song plays "Nobody Rides for Free" by Ratt. Hannah selects a Chevrolet Suburban and enters. A shotgun fires in the air as a dealership owner points his shotgun at Hannah.)

Dealership Owner: Can't let you have one of the cars. Now step out or I'll have to shoot you.

(Hannah steps out of the car and walks to the owner.)

Dealership Owner: That's it, goddamn it.

(Hannah snatches his shotgun and wears his sunglasses. Hannah enters the Suburban, starts the engine and drives. At the Los Angeles freeway, the song fades as electricity crackles as another time sphere appears and T-2000 stands up. T-2000 walks to the bar and enters. At the bar, T-2000 finds the right clothes.)

Male Patron: Oh, my God. Are you okay? Do you want me to call 911?

T-2000: I love your clothes.

Male Patron: What are you...?

(T-2000 breaks the male patron's neck as the male patron dies then the other patrons scream and run away. T-2000 takes the male patron's clothes and wears it. The police sirens wail as they park the cars. A policeman enters the bar and walks to T-2000.)

Policeman: Don't you know stealing's against the law, mister? You got something to explain?

T-2000: I love your gun.

Policeman: I'm sorry?
