Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

23.976

You shouldn't nest in the chimney.

You're migratory. You need to find a mate.

That's a window, bird.

What am I going to do with you?

A bird in a chimney is a fire hazard.

I'm not supposed to kill you, but you can't stay here.

Go.

I was wondering when we'd see you again.

They make you rest a couple days.

Does it help?

Not really.

Is there any more somewhere?

Yeah. downstairs under the sink.

DEADLY TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS

I just needed a minute alone.

Sorry.

She say something?

She asked about it.

To be nice, I think.

Well, it's nobody's business.

Well, it shouldn't have happened here.

Or not at all.

It's in the past.

People don't forget about the past.

I'm not saying "forget it."

I'm saying it's in the past.

Sight's off.

Give me.

It's nice being able to waste bullets on apples.

Yeah. it's nice being able to waste apples.

April 21st, 2011.

I never asked you for judgment day.

Your judgment day.

You're right about the sight.

April 21st, 2011. that's mine.

What's yours?

Whatever mine is. It might not be anymore.

So don't be afraid about love

or not when it happens.

I want you to help me with something.

Didn't I just help with something this morning in the shower?

There's a guy. He's got some information I need.

So ask him.

Not that kind of guy. Not that kind of information.

Skynet?

I'm not here to stop the war, sweetie.

I'm here to win it.

John Connor. - John Connor.

You keep saying that.

But I don't know what it means.

I'm the one living with him.

How's that working out for you?

Is the metal alive and well? Sarah running you around?

I'm here. I'm asking you.

Either help me with my plan or show me some progress on yours.

Okay. what do you need?

There was a stack of research here on that lawyer.

The one who set up the drone shell company.

Derek took it.

When? - While you were gone.

So he's chasing it down?

I don't know. - He should keep me in the loop.

It's my loop.

You've been distracted.

I was kidnapped.

Which is distracting.

Talk to me about Riley.

What happened the day she tried to kill herself?

She was very upset. John could tell.

She had a bruise on her face.

Who gave her the bruise?

John thought it was her foster dad.

She said it was a door. - Liar. then what?

Riley cut her wrists like this.

She almost bled to death.

Do you think it was her foster dad?

It's hard to say.

We don't know much about Riley.

We should know more.

I know where she lives.

I'll go talk to her foster parents.

I'll go. my loop.

I killed a bird.

Not the one in the chimney.

I thought you should know.

A bird did that?

No. I did that. look.

The bird experienced an involuntary moment of my fingers.

It was fragile.

Wiggle your fingers.

Yeah, there's damage, but it's buried pretty deep in there.

I don't know how it happened.

It was probably during a fight.

You're not designed to fight other machines.

All right, look, maybe I could swap this out.

But it's not like we just have spare parts lying around.

You're supposed to burn the endos.

Not all of them.

Says who?

You.

What, future me?

Future you.

Yeah, why doesn't that surprise me?

I have damage to my hand and now you're able to fix it.

Future John has better information than you do.

Jesse, she's gonna kill me. - What? Who?

Her. Cameron. - What happened? What did it do?

I saw something. The metal.

The metal. - She cut her wrists.

Why did it cut itself?

I don't know. but I saw the metal.

And she knows that I saw it.

Sweetie, if she knew you saw, you'd be dead.

I can't go back there.

I wonder what's wrong with it.

Has it been acting strange? - Strange?

Everything she does is strange.

Did you not hear me?

I can't go back there. - Of course you can, dear.

You put one foot in front of the other.

Master your fear. Remember the mission.

There's gotta be another way.

Trust me. There is only one way.

I won't let Cameron hurt you.

I won't let anyone hurt you.

Here's one from my private stash.

Kay doesn't buy the kind with sugar or caffeine but

What's the point?

I hear you.

Must've been a shock, what happened to Riley.

What's John say?

Getting anything out of that boy is like pulling teeth.

But he did say that she seemed upset that day and, uh...

She had a bruise on her face.

Bruise?

I'm a patient person, but I swear, there have been times...

Kids. They know how to push your buttons.

Just saying if someone was to lose their temper...

Get physical...

If by someone, you mean me...

These things do happen.

But not the way you're thinking.

Not-not by a long shot.

That girl assaulted my wife.

Went absolutely nuts.

Started yelling about the world burning

up and bleached skulls or some such nonsense.

She said that?

I wanted to report it. Kay wouldn't let me.

But now I wish I had with you coming around here accusing us.

I'm not accusing anybody.

First your kid drops out of school, then so does she.

Next thing you know, we got a guidance counselor at our door.

Even she thinks John's a bad influence.

A guidance counselor.

She had a lot to say about you and your family.

I was willing to dismiss it as gossip...

Until I met you.

Do you have her name?

Keep John away from Riley.

She's been through enough.

Okay, clench your fist.

And, Okay, now, fingers straight.

Okay.

You feel any different?

Yes.

Are you all fixed?

I don't know.

Well, just try not to kill any more birds.

You're ahead of schedule.

With what?

What you need to learn.

I know it's just recon, Derek,

But I can't have you running off like that.

I gotta go.

Miss Wilson, thanks for coming.

Ms. Baum.

So your family's moved around a lot, I take it.

Unfortunately, my job requires it.

It's been difficult on John. Hard for him to make friends.

I can imagine.

That's why I was so happy when Riley first came home with him.

I didn't realize she was so troubled.

Foster kids like these, it's hard to tell.

A lot of them come from broken homes, abuse.

Where does she come from?

An orphan out of Riverside.

Her parents died in a fire in a meth lab.

It's tragic.

I met her foster dad.

He said you talked to him about us.

I was curious about why it happened in your home.

In your bathroom.

I have no idea.

My main concern is that the girl get help.

Of course.

I've only known her a short while, but I've grown fond of her.

It's funny, she thinks you don't like her.

It's not the case.
