TEASER
WE OPEN ON:
EXT. SANTA MONICA BEACH - UNDERWATER - SUNSET
It's an apocalyptic hell beneath the sea. Skulls roll back and forth on the polluted sea floor as the tide churns. The camera rises out of the water and finds a polluted sea wave which crashes onto a coastline. In the distance, fragments of large buildings, buckled and melted by the nuclear fire. Furious gale winds scream with Satan's laughter.
A THUNDEROUS ROAR crescendoes as two AERIAL HKs scream past, trailing an F-16 fighter. The HKs pull impossible Gs, outmaneuvering the human-piloted F-16. An EXPLOSION of PLASMAFIRE as the aerial HKs strafe the F-16, blasting it out of the sky.
We follow the fiery pieces of shrapnel as they rain onto the broken streets below...
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. L.A. CITY - NIGHT
Overview of the Santa Monica pier. The Ferris wheel, the roller coaster, the countless people having fun...
Camera turns and faces the deep blue sea
Wild fingers of blue and white electrical arcs dance ten feet above the swells a mile from shore. The strange lightning forms a circular opening in midair, and with an electrical dispersion we see a FIGURE cradled within the SPHERE OF ENERGY. A sudden FLASH with an explosive THUNDERCLAP!
The naked figure drops into the ocean. SPLASH!
UNDERWATER
Red eyes glow within the darkness of the sea. A naked, beautiful shape girl, black hair, 5'6", TERMINATOR MONICA (18)/*T-Monica*/.
INT. A STORE – NIGHT
Like a store in S01EP03 but it's very dark and there're many new technologies, including I-Pad, I-Phone, tablet, and a lot of cell phone technologies in the year 2009.
LOW ANGLE AT A METAL DOOR as Something punches a door very hard, lets out a very loud sound and makes a depression on the metal door. It punches again then the door bounces off as the SECURITY ALARM starts ALERT.
TILT UP, revealing naked T-Monica who stands and looks around the shop, she walks to a cellphone and grabs it. She continues to turn around then stops at a counter, walks to it, punches through plate glass and picks up a small SIM CARD and a battery.
She spins around, flips open the phone, insert A SIM CARD and a battery then begins dialing.
COMPUTER FAX TONES are heard through the cellphone as it g accesses the internet. With her back turned to CAMERA, T-Monica replies with computer tones.
T-MONICA'S H.U.D.
The new style display, full color, red frame, and transparent user interfaces. This is the new model's H.U.D., maybe T-900's.
Countless web pages stream past until we come across FBI data files. ACCESS GRANTED. Countless pictures of criminals. We find SARAH CONNOR. Criminal data, Personal information, Home address.
BACK TO SCENE
CAMERA TURNS TO OUT SIDE as a police cruiser stops in front of the store. A POLICE WOMAN and her female teammate jump out. POLICE WOMAN has a bullhorn.
POLICE WOMAN
(on Bullhorn)
Whoever inside this store, get out. Drop
what you're stealing. Put your hands behind
your head and kneel on the ground in front
of us. Surrender yourself to us now.
BACK TO T-MONICA, as she turns to see polices.
T-MONICA'S H.U.D.
Her cursor ZOOMs in at the label name of the POLICE WOMAN, "JESSICA SEREPEC". Then the system saves this data and searches more data about Jessica. She finds it in the LAPD DATABASE. Monica changes the photo of the police to be her own photo and changes more identities, including HIGH, WEIGHT, and very important data.
BACK TO SCENE
T-Monica drops the cell phone down then subtly smiles to us.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. DAKARA SERVER ROOM – MORNING
The cramped room is a 3-d interconnected computer with cubes attached to cubes attached to cubes, like a giant molecule. At one end is a 1-meter high MOTION HOLOGRAM of a generic human American female that, if you squint, looks like EMMA AKAGI (19).
There is a small console with a light shining on an interfaced chip for EMMA, that's shielded with polycarbonate.
Xander and Alex sit near the largest monitor that installed on a wall. That monitor shows a desktop look just like Mac OSX11's desktop with a logo of Dakara System as a background.
XANDER
Dad, we did it.
The door slides open automatically then Gen. Pichitchai and Prof. Dr. Maniduang enter. Both Xander and Alex stand and turn to look at them as the door slides close automatically.
ALEX
We've finished her.
MANIDUANG
That's a good news.
XANDER
We still didn't test her system.
We're waiting for both of you.
Pichitchai smiles so proudly.
MANIDUANG
Emma, can you understand me?
EMMA'S MOTION HOLOGRAM gives them a small smile as the sound synthesizers around the room lets out Emma Akagi's techno voices:
EMMA (V.O.)
(in Thai)
"Hello, Pichitchai."
MANIDUANG
(in Thai)
"Hi, Emma."
The motion hologram turns to face Xander.
EMMA (V.O.)
Good morning, Xan. How are you today?
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. SERRANO NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - MORNING
In the shadow of the towers of the nuclear power plant, stand looking at the plant, Weaver, Stefan, Nevlin and John. All of them wear the same suits like in F03EP01.
SUPERIMPOSE: "SERRANO POINT – THE RESISTANCE BASE, 2027"
Behind them is the caravan. In b.g., Allison and the Reese brothers step out of their cars and look through their friends to the power plant.
STEFAN
Ah, we arrive here.
JOHN
It's been a long time after the year 2007.
WEAVER
Let's get inside the plant. Our men are very tired.
John and Stefan turn to Weaver and flash a friendly smile before they turn back to Allison and Reese brothers and give them a sign.
CUT TO:
INT. SERRANO CONTROL ROOM – MORNING
The Control Room is different than it was in S0202 - it is indeed more automated. There are no chairs and only one stand-alone monitor and keyboard.
TWO RESISTANCE OFFICERS have stationed on their control counter, stand looking through monitor.
OFFICER#1 turns as he sees something.
OFFICER#1
They have come.
OFFICER#2
I'll go to tell Perry. You
open the gate for them.
OFFICER#2 gets out the control room.
INT. PERRY'S ROOM – MORNING
A small room, but bigger than both John's and Allison's, contains one big bed, one wooden wardrobe, two trunks, one large light bulb, one desk, a black laptop on the desk, two chairs, a secured area with a computer, a built-in vault/armory, and a simple kitchen. Next to the front door is a reinforced wall for a "Host Area" with some easily reached small arms and one GENERAL JUSTIN PERRY (S01EP06), who wears well-worn BDUs and sits on the bed.
The intercom voices:
PERRY'S GUARD (COMM)
General Perry, an officer
needs to meet you.
Perry crosses to a keypad on the Host Area wall and presses three keys which all give out a TONE. TWO TONES answer back, and Sarah releases the door lock.
OFFICER#2 enters, stands straight in front of Perry, and salutes to him. Perry salutes back.
PERRY
What's your business, officer?
OFFICER#2
Captain Bedell and Zeira fighters
have arrived here, sir.
PERRY
Thank you, officer.
Perry and the officer exit the room.
