Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Previously on Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles...

There's a warehouse in the desert.

They're building something there...metal.

Who are you? - My name's winston.

Where's the metal?

I talked to your mom.

She found something out in the desert.

Is it real this time?

I detected this audio transmission

On an unsecured line.

Got a breach--man shot out at heat and air.

Shut the place down!

You mind telling me where you keep your demolition materials?

God, I hate funerals.

Mom, anybody who knew anything

About the factory's already dead.

Well, I'm not.

Winston. did you know my husband, sarah?

The whole place was wired, every house in the neighborhood.

Every move anyone ever made was being watched.

Mom, you are tierd.You've been sick.

Chasing killer robots will do that to you.

Midnight is the witching hour...

If you believe that kind of thing,

And most people won't admit it if they do.

Midnight is the time when a door opens from our world

Into the next, and we are visited

By the dark spirits of the shadow lands.

The incubus, the succubus,

The old hag.

Visitors are known by many names,

But each story bears the same marks.

The demons come after midnight

In the first three hours of the new day

When we are alone and vulnerable,

Deep asleep and helpless, when we cannot move.

They lay on us, press on us, suffocate us.

Take from us what is most precious.

Our lives, our love, our sanity.

Our sleep.

If you believe in that kind of thing.

John?

Where are you?

In an industrial park near downtown.

God, mom, it's almost 12:00. I was hoping you were asleep.

Well, it didn't take.

What are you doing?

I got a lead off the surveillance tapes

Of charm acers.

And how many hours of people sleeping

Did you have to watch?

All of them.

So where are you?

Western iron and metal.

They supply specialty metal tooling equipment

To desert heat and air.

And you think they're connected to skynet?

You should get on the computer,

Find out who owns the place.

I'm on it.

Sarah.

Sarah.

Sarah, you had another nightmare.

I can't stay here anymore.

You've only been here one night.

Feels a lot longer.

We don't have enough data

To prescribe a treatment for your insomnia.

The first night only establishes a baseline.

I'll be fine.

You go home now, things'll only get worse.

You think two weeks without sleep is bad?

Try two or three years. it happens.

Everyone needs their sleep.

Not everyone.

You do.

I'm gonna get you some coffee.

But I have to warn you,

This is a decaf-only facility, all right?

Can I help you?

Who are you?

I'm your roommate. dana.

When did you get here?

Checked in last night while you were asleep.

Well, not really asleep.

More like thrashing and screaming in your bed.

What's with the lighter?

What lighter?

The one in your bra.

Trying to give up smoking.

In a sleep clinic?

Yeah, I've got sleep problems too.

The doctors think it's related to my chronic fatigue,

Which they believe was caused by my eating disorder,

Which is why I had the lap band surgery.

You know, the stapling your stomach.

But are the doctors satisfied with that?

No!

They wanna take away all my vices.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

Girl's gotta sin sometime.

Hence, the smoking.

Yeah, that and the younger men.

Mom.

Hey, tiger!

Hello.

It's visiting time. cameron's in the cafeteria.

Hey, do me a favor.

Let's keep this our little secret.

There you go.

Scrambled or hard boiled?

Uh...scrambled.

You need a carbohydrate that makes up

At least 15% of your daily allowance.

Those won't be as good as yours.

You made pancakes?

I added a teaspoon of vanilla to your recipe.

I don't have a recipe.

The recipe on the box.

Not as good as hers?

Not as good as food.

Tomorrow I'll bring you something real to eat.

They have anything to say?

About what?

About what? about why you're not sleeping.

They figured out why?

Besides the fact the world's about to end?

You used to sleep well.

I shouldn't be here.

I should be at home.

We're fine at home. everything's fine.

This was a mistake.

No, this... this is necessary.

Mom...you're useless like this.

Look at yourself. you haven't slept in two weeks.

You fell down the stairs.

If you don't take care of yourself,

Something worse might happen.

You need to get better.

I need you to get better.

Don't forget...

You're not her.

Please...get some sleep.

You--you're dead.

I killed you.

And I killed you.

One of us is gonna have to step it up.

How

You wanna know who I am?

That's the first thing most people ask,

First thing that comes out of their mouths

When the gag comes off-- who are you?

And they keep asking it over and over again.

Psychiatrists say

Naming things gives people power over them.

They're dead wrong on that.

I already know who you are.

Oh, yeah, right. I forgot.

And...

You found western iron and metal.

Of course, I never expected anything less

From the girl that used a cross-dresser

And a hypnotherapist to find us.

You know, I gotta admit, I didn't see that one comin'.

You won't see the next one coming either.

Oh, I beg to differ, ma'am. I beg to differ.

So who do you work for?

I work alone.

Somebody blew up our factory

While you were getting patched up.

Was that your boyfriend on the phone?

What are you guys, some kind of a...

Bonnie and clyde type operation?

I said, was that your client on the phone?

Why don't you come closer, and I'll tell you?

So you can bite my face off? no.

I don't think so.

See those seeds?

I go through about a bag in three hours.

Little habit I picked up when I quit smoking.

Before I finish that bag, you're gonna talk.

Special recipe.

It'll have you singin'... like sunday choir.

What's wrong? gel too cold?

Most people don't like the electrodes first time out.

Makes 'em feel like frankenstein.

You'll get used to it.

I'm willing to bet you sleep better tonight.

What's happening to me?

Let me show you something.

These are our observation machines.

And, uh, this is your chart.

There are five stages to the sleep cycle.

The fifth stage is the most active--

Increased respiration rate,

Blood pressure, brain activity.

Rem sleep, when most dreaming occurs.

It's rare, but sometimes...

Night terrors like the ones you're experiencing can--

I never said I was experiencing night terrors.
