As three US servicemen - Marine Private First Class Ira Hayes, Private First-Class Rene Gagnon, and Navy Corpsman John "Doc" Bradley are feted as heroes in a war bond drive, they reflect on their experiences via flashback. After training at Camp Tarawa in Hawaii, the 28th Marine Regiment 5th Marine Division sails to the small island of Iwo Jima as part of an invading armada. Tough Japanese resistance is expected, and the Navy bombards suspected Japanese positions for three days. Sergeant Mike Strank is put in charge of Second Platoon. The next day, February 19, 1945, the Marines land in Higgins boats. The beaches are silent and Private First Class Ralph "Iggy" Ignatowski wonders if the defenders are all dead, before Japanese heavy artillery and machine guns open fire on the advancing Marines and the Navy ships. Casualties are heavy but the beaches are secured. Two days later the Marines attack Mount Suribachi under a rain of Japanese artillery and machine gun fire, as the Navy bombards the mountain. Doc saves the lives of several Marines under fire, which later earns him the Navy Cross. Finally, the mountain is secured. On February 23, the platoon under command of Sergeant Hank Hansen is ordered to climb Mount Suribachi. They reach the top and hoist the United States flag atop the mountain to cheers from the beaches and the ships. Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal, who witnesses the flag raising as he lands on the beach, requests the flag for himself. Colonel Chandler Johnson decides his 2nd Battalion deserves the flag more. Rene is sent up with Second Platoon to replace the first flag with a second one for Forrestal to take. Mike, Doc, Rene and three other marines (Corporal Harlon Block, Private First-Class Franklin Sousley and Private First Class Ira Hayes), are photographed by Joe Rosenthal as they raise the second flag. On March 1, Second Platoon are ambushed from a Japanese machine gun nest. During the fight over the nest Mike is hit by a U.S. Navy shell and dies from his wounds. Later that day Hank is shot in the chest and dies almost instantly, and Harlon is killed by machine gun fire. Two nights later while Doc is helping a wounded Marine, Iggy is abducted by Japanese troops and dragged into a tunnel. Doc finds his viciously mangled body a few days later. On March 21 Franklin is killed by machine gun fire and dies in Ira's arms. Of the eight men in the squad only three are left: Doc, Ira and Rene. A few days after Franklin's death, Doc is wounded by artillery fire while trying to save a fellow corpsman. He survives and is sent back home. On March 26, the battle ends and the U.S. Marines are victorious. After the battle the press gets hold of Rosenthal's photograph. It is a huge morale booster, and newspapers all over the country ask for prints. Rene is asked to name the six men in the photo: he identifies himself, Mike, Doc and Franklin, but misidentifies Harlon as Hank. Rene believes that Ira is the sixth man in the photograph; when he tells Ira this, Ira furiously denies it, insisting that it was Harlon in the photograph, not him. Rene pleads with Ira that as flag raisers they will both be sent home, but Ira reacts by holding a bayonet to Rene's throat, telling Rene he will kill him if he names Ira as the man in the photograph. Rene initially refuses to identify the sixth man but when he is threatened with being sent back to the fighting, he names Ira. Doc, Ira and Rene are sent home as part of the seventh bond tour drive to raise money for the war effort. When they arrive to a hero's welcome in Washington, Doc notices that Hank's mother is on the list of mothers of the dead flag raisers. Ira angrily denounces the bond drive as a farce. The men are reprimanded by Bud Gerber of the Treasury Department, who tells them that the country cannot afford the war and if the bond drive fails the U.S. will abandon the Pacific and their sacrifices will be for nothing. The three agree not to tell anyone that Hank was not in the photograph. As the three are sent around the country to raise money and make speeches, Ira is guilt-ridden, facing discrimination as a Native American and haunted by memories of the battle. He descends into alcoholism and throws up one night in front of General Alexander Vandegrift, commandant of the Marine Corps. A furious Vandegrift orders to have Ira sent back to his unit and the bond drive continues without him. After the war, the three survivors return to their homes. Ira still struggles with alcoholism and is never able to escape his unwanted fame. One day after being released from jail, he hitchhikes over 1,300 miles to Texas to see Harlon Block's family. He tells Harlon's father that his son was indeed at the base of the flag in the famous photograph. In 1954, the USMC War Memorial is dedicated and the three flag raisers see each other one last time. In 1955 Ira dies of exposure after a night of drinking. That same year Doc drives to the town where Iggy's mother lives to tell her how Iggy died, though it is implied that he does not tell her the truth. Rene attempts a business career but finds that the opportunities and offers he received during the bond drive are rescinded. He spends the rest of his life as a janitor. Doc, by contrast, is successful. He buys a funeral home and runs it for the rest of his life. In 1994, on his deathbed, he tells his story to his son James and in a final flashback to 1945, the men swim in the ocean after raising the flags.

The Angels go undercover in search of two rings that hold data on the Witness Protection Program. When witnesses start to turn up dead, only the Angels can stop the perpetrator.

Carmen (Alexa PenaVega) and Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara) live with their parents, Ingrid, and Gregorio, who they believe are boring, unaware that their parents are actually semi-retired international spies Grogorio Cortez (Antonio Banderas) & Ingrid Cortez (Carla Gugino), working for an organization called the OSS (Organization of Super Spies). Originally, Ingrid and Gregorio were enemies until they fell in love and got married. They retired to some degree when they had their children. Long ago, at a time of unstable relations between countries, a new breed of soldiers was created: super spies. Using their vast intellects and prowess in the art of stealth, they could stop wars before they even happened. The two protagonists of the story, both of whom were spies, were tasked with eliminating each other, but they ended up becoming infatuated with one another instead and soon fell in love. Despite being from opposing nations, they decided to marry, but this only painted a massive target on their backs for enemy factions that wished to see them dead. They ultimately chose to retire and start a family. They shield their children from their secret spy lives to protect them from inherent danger. The parents are worried about their kids as according to their school principal Carmen's been skipping out on school and Juni's self-proclaimed 'friends' are only in his head. Carmen's main concern in life is with the unwelcome responsibility of babysitting her brother, Juni, and is therefore usually mean to him. However, underneath her abusive exterior, Carmen is hiding secrets of her own: she skips school and has to wear diapers at night due to having problems with bed-wetting. She is desperate to keep both of these problems secret, especially from her brother. Juni lacks self-esteem and is a fan of a children's television show called "Floop's Fooglies." Hosted by Fegan Floop (Alan Cumming) and co-starring the Fooglies-colorful, mutant, gibberish speaking friends of Floop-the show proves to be an irritant to Gregorio, who openly displays his dislike for the program. Gregorio receives information from the OSS that several of their agents have gone missing, notifying Ingrid the following morning. Gregorio and Ingrid are suddenly called back to active field work to find missing agents. Gregorio suspects children's television host Fegan Floop has kidnapped them. Georgio takes notice that one of Floop's side characters, called 'Fooglies,' looks suspiciously like one of the missing OSS agents, Donnagon Giggles (Mike Judge). Gregorio suspects the show is involved in the disappearance of several fellow spies mutating them into his "Fooglies" - creatures on his show, a program that Juni avidly watches. Ingrid and Gregorio decide to investigate and leave their children in the care of "Uncle" Felix Gumm (Cheech Marin), a man not actually their uncle but, rather, a family guardian. Gregorio and Ingrid take a mini-sub and head to Floop's suddenly pick up a transmission from Floop, telling them they have something he desires, and they find themselves being chased by a sub. Gregorio tries to outrun it, but soon he and Ingrid end up getting engulfed by a much larger sub. Ingrid and Gregorio are captured by Floop's men, the ever-idiotic Thumb-Thumbs, robots with thumbs for legs, arms and heads that wear red vests. Carmen and Juni discover the truth about their parents when they find that their parents have been kidnapped. In Floop's island castle, Floop is in a pickle of his own. He is being contracted by a businessman named Lisp (Robert Patrick), the head of a nameless corporation, to build an army for them, and so far, the candidates he's given them (The Fooglies and Thumb-Thumbs, additional characters from the show) have been unsatisfactory to their liking. Floop then presents them with his newest invention, Spy Kids, an army of super-strong robots, using the children of world leaders as a disguise, to conquer the world. The robots were constructed by Floop's servant Alexander Minion (Tony Shalhoub). Since the androids have no artificial intelligence yet, they are unable to function outside their regular programming. An item named the Third Brain is required to power the robots, or at least give them the ability to speak and think. Lisp is furious, demanding usable androids. Lisp chastises Floop for not keeping with their schedule, and demands that he finish his army in two days or everything he's built will be reduced to ashes. Ingrid and Gregorio were brought in, due to Gregorio being one of the scientists who created the Third Brain and hid it, although he refuses to give the hiding place. Ingrid knows nothing of it, while Gregorio claims he had destroyed the brain years ago. After Floop leaves, Gregorio reveals to Ingrid that the Third Brain was a secret OSS project he had worked on: an AI brain with all the skills of the entire OSS. The project was scrapped as being too dangerous and many scientists demolished the brains that they were working on, but Gregorio refused to destroy the final prototype. Floop's minions invade the Cortez home, although Carmen and Juni escape whilst Felix is captured, but not before he tells the children the truth about their parents. The children escape alone via a miniature submarine set to autopilot to a safe house. At the safe house, the children accept that their parents were spies and decide to rescue them. The children flee to a safe house where they decide to become spies, until Ms. Gradenko (Teri Hatcher), a fellow spy, arrives to help them. Giving Carmen a bracelet as a sign of trust, she asks about the Third Brain, but Carmen is confused. Gradenko orders the house to be dismantled and the siblings realize Gradenko is a traitor when they see ninja Thumb-Thumbs destroying the escape submarine. It is revealed that Third Brain is hidden in the house. Juni accidentally exposes the Third Brain, and a chase ensues. Carmen gets the brain, and she and Juni escape. She realizes too late the bracelet from Gradenko has a tracking device. The children escape but soon encounter robotic clones of themselves who steal the Third Brain and deliver it to Minion, who takes command of the robots and imprisons Floop. Meanwhile, back at the castle, Gregorio tells Ingrid that Minion used to work for the OSS, but was fired after he reported him tampering with the Third Brain project. With it, Floop can achieve his goal, but he wishes to continue his children's show. Carmen and Juni locate Gregorio's estranged older brother and inventor, Isador "Machete" Cortez (Danny Trejo), who harbors bitter feelings against his younger brother, similar to the feelings Carmen harbored toward Juni. Machete was apparently forced to watch over Gregorio and left him because of this. He refuses to help the children because of this. With no support from their uncle, the children sneak away to rescue their parents on their own, stealing a map of Floop's castle and a spy plane to get them there. Their sibling rivalry comes to a head, however, when Carmen's continuing criticisms and name-calling pushes Juni to retaliate by calling her "diaper lady," starting a quarrel that almost crashes the plane. As they work together to safely land the craft, Juni reveals that he had always been aware of Carmen's nighttime bed-wetting but kept that knowledge to himself at their mother's insistence. Having come to an understanding of each other as brother and sister, their relationship begins to improve from this point on. The two make it to the castle and search for their parents. Juni finds Floop and frees him, convincing him to help them and explaining what was missing from his TV show- children. Carmen, Juni and Floop free Ingrid and Gregorio and then confront Minion, trapping him in a machine that creates the Fooglies on the children's show (who are actually the missing agents). Minion deliberately starts the machine but escapes before he becomes a Fooglie, altering his appearance with three extra heads and combined hands with multiple fingers. The spies confront Gradenko, Minion and Lisp and are attacked by their 500-man army of child robots. Machete arrives to help, later on claiming he came back for the same reason he left, meaning that he was told to watch over his brother. Floop rewrites the children's minds to make them act like children (as Minion says to Lisp, "They have minds of their own now, sir; anything we tell them to do goes in one ear and out the other!"), saving the Cortez family and causing the children to play with Gradenko, Minion and Lisp, tossing them around in the air. Gregorio and Machete reform their brotherly relationship, with both of them claiming neither of them even remembering why Machete left, and Floop redesigns his show with Minion and the robotic Carmen and Juni as his new characters. The leader of the OSS, Devlin, offers the Cortez children jobs as spies, to which Carmen responds that the spy-work is easy, whilst keeping their Cortez family together is the hardest mission of all. Having adopted a stronger value of family unity, she demands that they be allowed to work together as a family.

Two Texas cowboys head to Mexico in search of work, but soon find themselves in trouble with the law after one of them falls in love with a wealthy rancher's daughter. Two young Texas cowboys on the cusp of manhood ride into 1940's Mexico in search of experience. What they find is a country as chaotic as it is beautiful, as cruel and unfeeling as it is mysterious, where death is a constant, capricious companion. —Richard Foxx <spiritranch@earthlink.net>

In the fictional town of Garrison, New Jersey, located across the Hudson River from New York City near the George Washington Bridge, a number of residents are NYPD officers. Local sheriff Freddy Heflin (Sylvester Stallone) is secretly in love with Liz Randone (Annabella Sciorra), whose life he once saved after a car accident. Her rescue cost him the hearing in one ear and made him ineligible to become a New York City cop, as so many of his peers did, including Liz's abusive and unfaithful husband Joey Randone (Peter Berg). One night, Murray "Superboy" Babitch (Michael Rapaport), nephew of Lt. Ray Donlan (Harvey Keitel), leaves a bachelor party at Scores in Manhattan, driving over a discarded beer bottle. He's driving across the George Washington Bridge when his car is sideswiped by a couple of African-American teens. Babitch attempts to force them to pull over. The passenger points what Babitch thinks is a weapon and then the front tire of his car suddenly goes flat. Believing they have fired at him, Babitch shoots back. In an ensuing accident, Babitch collides with their car. Both of the teens are dead from the shots Babitch fired. During the ensuing investigation at the scene, Jack Rucker (Robert Patrick) is caught trying to plant a weapon in the teens' vehicle to justify the shooting. One of the paramedics seizes the gun from Rucker and tosses it over the side of the bridge. A brief fight breaks out but is quickly broken up. Worried about the repercussions on his career of having shot unarmed black teens, Babitch is persuaded by Donlan to fake his suicide. During the tussle over the planted gun, Ray pretends that Babitch has jumped off the bridge. Other corrupt police officers, including Detective Leo Crasky (John Spencer) and Frank Lagonda (Arthur Nascarella), fear that Babitch will resurface and testify about their corruption to Internal Affairs. While on radar patrol with his partner Cindy Betts (Janeane Garofalo), Ray zips by their position at about 70 mph. They pull him over, with Ray trying to muscle his way out of a speeding ticket with Betts, saying that he's above receiving a traffic citation. Heflin agrees to let him go but as Ray zooms off, Freddy sees Babitch stick his head up in the back seat. Internal Affairs investigator Lt. Moe Tilden (Robert De Niro) asks if Heflin will provide information on the corrupt cops who live in his town. Heflin is intimidated by the New York City cops and is reluctant to betray them, derailing Tilden's case. Superiors in the department, related to the corrupt cops, order Tilden to shut down the investigation. Although the Babitch cover-up appears to be initially successful, Ray is told by Patrolmen's Defense Association President Vincent Lassaro (Frank Vincent) that without a body, the case will not stay cold. Ray reluctantly decides that his nephew must be killed. During a loud party held by Ray at his house, Babitch is tipped off by his aunt Rose (Cathy Moriarty). Ray, Jack and Frank try to drown Babitch in Ray's hot tub. Babitch, grabbing a pistol he'd hidden in his waistband, fires off several shots just as Joe Randone, arriving at the party late, hears them. Babitch flees in to the night and goes to Freddy's house looking for help, but when he sees Freddy's friend (and fellow NYPD cop) Gary "Figgsy" Figgis (Ray Liotta), he flees. Later at the bar the police all hang out at, Joey disagrees with Ray over his plans to find & eliminate his nephew. Later that evening while on patrol, Joey Randone gets into a fight with a violent suspect and is thrown off a rooftop. While he is clinging to an TV aerial and calling for help. Donlan sees him and, out of payback for Randone carrying on an affair with his wife, closes the door to the building's atrium and deliberately stalls, trying to pick the lock as the other officers arrive to help. By the time the squad gets to the roof, Randone has fallen to his death. When Freddy realizes his mistake, he visits Tilden and is angrily told that the case was blown by his failure to cooperate sooner. As he leaves, Freddy sees a number of NYPD case files on the corrupt cops and steals them. He studies the files and realizes the extent of his friends' corruption. Deputy Cindy Betts decides to leave Garrison, frustrated by the New York City cops having turned the town into their own personal fiefdom. Freddy returns home to find Figgsy packing to leave, not wanting to be further involved. Freddy finds out that Figgsy burned down his own house for the insurance money, accidentally killing his crack-addicted girlfriend Monica (Mel Gorham). Heflin manages to convince Rose to reveal where Babitch is hiding in the town's water tower, then takes him to Garrison's jail. Heflin generously permits Deputy Bill Geisler (Noah Emmerich), who is nervous about protecting Babitch, to go home and take care of his pregnant wife. Heflin attempts to bring Babitch to New York City to turn over to Tilden, but Lagonda, Donlan and Rucker ambush him. Rucker cruelly fires a gun next to Freddy's good ear, deafening and disabling him. Babitch is taken, presumably to be killed. On foot and almost totally deaf, Heflin follows them to Donlan's house, where he quickly gets into a gunfight with Ray's man. Heflin kills both Jack and Frank. Heflin is then shot in the shoulder by Leo Crasky, but is saved by the arrival of Figgsy, who kills Crasky. In the house, Babitch is trying to escape through a window. Donlan sneaks up behind Heflin, but before he can fire, Figgsy shoots. Barely hearing the shot, Heflin turns and shoots. As Donlan lies dying on the floor, he mutters obscenities, to which Heflin replies simply: "I can't hear you, Ray." Figgsy and Heflin personally take Babitch to New York City and to Internal Affairs, refusing to allow any other cop to assist them. Tilden takes their prisoner into custody. After the scandal has been investigated and indictments handed down, Heflin, who has recovered hearing in his good ear, ends up looking at the New York City skyline from across the Hudson River. Deputy Geisler notifies him about a jack-knifed truck and Freddy goes back to work.

Former FBI secretary Erin Grant (Demi Moore) loses custody of her young daughter Angela (Rumer Willis) to her ex-husband Darrell (Robert Patrick), a criminal who cost Erin her job as a secretary for the FBI (as Darell was a drug addict and dealt in illegal drugs). The judge was sympathetic to Darrell as he was collaborating with the Miami Police Department as an informant. To afford an appeal to get her daughter back, Erin becomes a stripper at the Eager Beaver, a strip club in Miami. Erin has been working there for 8 weeks and needs to come up $15k in 6 weeks to appeal her daughter's custody decision. Erin is the top draw at the Eager Beaver and patrons come specifically to watch her strip on stage. Other strippers include Monique (Dina Spybey) who comes from Paris, Lorelei (Barbara Alyn Woods) who is a transfer from a rival club called Flesh Farm and Urbana Sprawl (Pandora Peaks). Erin would have to dance day and night and hope for generous tips to have any chance of making the money she needs for her appeal. Meanwhile Darrell has moved without informing Erin and is using Angela to steal hospital medical supplies and selling them on the black market. Rita (Siobhan Fallon Hogan) is Darell's sister, and Erin tries to find out from her where he has moved to. Shad (Ving Rhames) is a bouncer at the club and looks out for Erin. Shad wants to get rich by suing a yogurt company for a cockroach he found in their product. In reality, Shad had put the cockroach inside the yogurt himself to make his case. A Congressman named David Dilbeck (Burt Reynolds) representing Florida's 5th congressional district, visits the club and becomes infatuated with Erin. Erb Crandall (Robert Stanton) is Dilbeck's executive assistant. A patron named Paul Guber was at the club for his bachelor party. He got enamored with Erin, got on stage and hugs her, causing Dilbeck to attack Paul with an empty Champagne bottle. Shad was busy in the backroom and hence was not around to protect Erin. Aware of Dilbeck's embarrassing indulgences, another Eager Beaver patron Jerry (Orly) approaches Erin with a plan to manipulate the congressman to settle the custody battle and help her get Angela back. However, as he is the chairman of the subcommittee on sugar, Dilbeck has powerful business connections including lobbyist Malcolm Moldowsky (Paul Guilfoyle) his right-hand man, and father-and-son sugar barons Willie and Chris Rojo, whose price supports are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and who want to ensure he remains in office. Consequently, those who can embarrass him (including Jerry, who contacted Malcolm to blackmail Dilbeck) in an election are murdered. Attorney Alan Mordecai (Stuart Pankin), who has acquired photos of the night when Dilbeck became intoxicated at the club and assaulted fellow patron Paul Guber, his client, invites Shad, a bouncer and the club's head of security, to join him in a scheme to blackmail Dilbeck. Meanwhile police officer Al Garcia (Armand Assante) has fished out Jerry's body from a lake. Al Garcia is on vacation there with his wife Donna and son Andy. Autopsy has revealed that he was drowned in tap water first before being thrown into the lake. It was murder. Jerry had Erin's photos all over his apartment and that's how Al finds Erin at the Eager Beaver and understands her full situation. Erin wants Al to make sure that Miami PD dumps Darrell as an informant, so that during her appeal he doesn't have any protection from the police department and can be exposed for the criminal he is. Fully sympathetic to her plight, he complies. However, L.W. Fingerhut, the judge overseeing Erin's case in civil court, suffers a fatal heart attack and is pronounced dead on arrival at Don Shula Hospital, causing her appeal to be delayed by six months. To protect Angela, Erin retrieves her from Rita's care, having found Darrell's address by stealing her mail. Alan approaches Dilbeck with the picture from the Eager Beaver and Malcolm is worried. Erin takes Angela to work and sees Erin dancing on stage, topless. Darrell attacks Erin outside the club, but is saved by Shad, who breaks Darrell's hand. Angela tells Erin that she looked pretty dancing on stage. Al Garcia meets Erin and tells him that Congressman Dilbeck has a crush on her and shows her the photo being used for his blackmail. Al wants Erin to contact him if Dilbeck is in touch with her. Dilbeck's personal interest in Erin persists, and she is invited to perform privately for him. He asks her to become his lover and later his wife, despite his staff's concerns that she knows too much. Malcolm threatens Erin that he knows that Angela is with Erin illegally and will put Angela in state care if Erin talks about Dilbeck to anyone. Eventually, Alan turns up dead as well and Al is now worried about Erin. However, Erin and Al Garcia begin to suspect the congressman's guilt in the murders, and Erin concocts a plan to bring the congressman to justice. But she doesn't know that Malcolm knows that Al is in touch with her (& that she is ex-FBI). Dilbeck and Malcolm then debate whether to kill Erin or simply silence her by threatening to take away her daughter. Malcolm gets Dilbeck to invite Erin for another private show and plans to kill her just after. Erin goes for the private dance without Al or Shad. Darrell then interrupts the dance, allowing Erin to retrieve a gun and force him and Dilbeck to the nearby Belle Glade sugar refinery, where she has arranged for TV crews to arrive for a news conference. On route, she forces Darrell to write a note releasing custody of Angela to her and once there, she tricks Dilbeck into confessing to the murders on tape. As Malcolm arrives, Garcia suddenly appears along with the news crew, and Dilbeck is soon after arrested. Erin, having regained full guardianship of Angela, thanks Garcia and Shad for assisting her and jokingly expresses interest to Garcia in running for Congress as Dilbeck's replacement.

On November 5, 1975 in Snowflake, Arizona, logger Travis Walton (D.B. Sweeney), and his co-workers - Mike Rogers (Robert Patrick), Allan Dallis (Craig Sheffer), David Whitlock (Peter Berg), Greg Hayes (Henry Thomas) and Bobby Cogdill (Bradley Gregg) - head to work in the White Mountains. Driving home from work, the loggers see an unearthly light in the distance through the treeline. Upon investigating, they come across an unidentified flying object. Curious to learn more, Walton gets out of the truck to examine closer, only for the hovering object to reach and strike him with a bright beam of light, hurling him several feet backwards. Fearing Walton has been killed, the terrified loggers escape from the scene. Rogers decides to go back to the spot to retrieve Walton, but he is nowhere to be found. Going back to town to report the incident, the loggers are meet with skepticism by Sheriff Blake Davis (Noble Willingham) and Lieutenant Frank Watters (James Garner). They are suspected of foul play, something believed that quickly spreads over their small town, leaving them as social outcasts. Watters realizes there was a great deal of tension between Walton and Dallis and that Dallis has a criminal record, leading him to believe this is a murder investigation. Watters also discovers a tabloid newspaper in their truck with headlines about aliens, hinting that they used the article to concoct their story. The loggers are accused of murder and are threatened by Travis' older brother Dan Walton (Scott MacDonald). After a large search party found no sign of Walton, the loggers are offered the chance to take a lie detector test. After the testing is complete, Rogers is outraged that the results are not shared and he and "his guys" refused to return the next day to retake this. After the loggers leave, the test's administrator informs Watters and Davis that, with the exception of Dallis (whose results were inconclusive), the loggers seem to be telling the truth. Five days later, Rogers receives a phone call from someone claiming to be Walton. He is found at a Heber gas station, alive but naked, dehydrated and severely traumatized. A ufologist questions Walton but he is thrown out and Walton is taken to a hospital. Rogers visits Walton while in the emergency room and ends up telling Walton that he leave him after he was struck by the beam of light but came back to get him. Walton appears enraged by this and turns away from Rogers who blames the whole incident on Walton for getting out of the truck. During a welcome home party, Walton suffers from a mental breakdown and flashback of the abduction by the extraterrestrials. In his flashback, he awakens inside a slimy cocoon. Breaking out of its membrane, a puzzled Walton finds himself in a zero-gravity alien environment inside a cylindrical enclosure, whose walls contain other similar cocoons. Struggling in the low gravity, he breaches a nearby cocoon by chance, horrified to discover that this contains decomposing human remains. Exploring further, he drifts towards a neighboring area, seeing several humanoid figures below him. Drifting uncontrollably towards them, he surmises that the immobile figures are actually spacesuits, one of them occupied by an extraterrestrial creature. Walton attempts to escape, but is apprehended by two extraterrestrial creatures who drag him down corridors full of terrestrial detritus such as shoes and keys before arriving in a bizarre examining chamber. The aliens hold the struggling Walton to a raised platform in the middle of the chamber, stripping him of his clothes and covering him with an elastic material that completely restrains him. Despite Walton's terrified screams, the small aliens clinically force him to undergo an experiment in which a gelatinous substance is shoved into his mouth, a long pipe is inserted down his throat, his jaw is clamped open and a device is stabbed into his neck. Overhead equipment then begins lowering towards him while fully conscious during the experience. After a needle-like ocular probe extends towards this exposed eye, Walton loses consciousness until finding himself back on Earth, disoriented and severely traumatized. While interviewing Walton, Lieutenant Watters expresses his doubts about the abduction, dismissing this merely as a hoax. He notes Walton's newfound celebrity because of the tabloids' attempt to profit from his story, believing that he had faked the abduction to become a celebrity. However, with the investigation closed, Watters is forced to abandon his pursuit and leaves town. Two and a half years later, Walton visits Rogers, now a hermit, and the two reconcile while they struggle with trauma over the past. The film's closing titles inform that in 1993, Walton, Rogers and Dallis were resubmitted to additional polygraph examinations, which they passed, corroborating their innocence.

Extended version: In LA in 2029 AD, the world has become a wasteland of wrecked cars, destroyed buildings and fields filled with skeletons. The voice of Sarah Conner (Linda Hamilton) starts narrating that 'three billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They only lived to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines.' A battle is starting between human guerrilla troops and a technically far superior robotic army, consisting of metal endoskeletons, huge movable tanks as well as giant flying hunter-killer drones. A man is saluted by his soldiers as he crosses a destroyed hallway and starts to inspect the battlefield from a safe distance. Sarah' s voice-over continues: "Skynet, the computer that controlled the machines, sent two Terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human resistance: John Connor, my son. The first Terminator was programmed to strike at me in the year 1984, before John was born. It failed. The second was set to strike at John himself when he was just a child. As before, the Resistance was able to send a lone warrior, as a protector for John." The opening titles show playgrounds ablaze with fire, and end with the camera zooming in on the face of a T-800. The scene goes back to the year 1995. A naked man (Arnold Schwarzenegger) appears from an orb of light on the side of the street. It is a Terminator, same model as the one that Sarah mentioned was programmed to kill her, entering a biker bar. As the patrons look at the naked man in bewilderment, Terminator scans the inside of the bar, finally identifying a tall man whose measurements match its own. Terminator tells the man that it needs his clothes, his motorcycle and his boots, much to the hilarity of the bikers. The big man puts out his cigar on the Terminator's chest, to no effect, but it prompts Terminator to break the guy's wrist and throw him into the kitchen. Other bikers take turns attacking the Terminator but it continues to violently beat them up until they break off. Terminator proceeds to the big man, who hands over his clothes and bike in fear. On the way out, the bar owner's attempts to intimidate the Terminator with his shotgun, but the Terminator ends up stealing both the gun and the man's sunglasses, and rides out on the motorcycle into the night. In a different part of town, a police officer calls in a strange electrical disturbance to Headquarters. He finds a strange round hole burned into a fence, and is then approached from behind by another naked man (Robert Patrick), more slender than the Terminator, who quickly incapacitates him. The man picks up the cop's gun, enters the police car in police uniform, and accesses the car's computer to find the address of John Connor. John Connor (Edward Furlong) lives with his foster parents Todd (Xander Berkeley) and Janelle Voight (Jenette Goldstein), for whom he has minimal respect, and leaves on his dirt bike with his friend Tim (Danny Cooksey). Sarah resides in the Pescadero State Hospital, a mental institution where psychiatrist Dr. Silberman (Earl Boen) fills in a group of interns about her past psychiatric history. He amazes them with her story about the first Terminator trying to kill her, and that her son John was fathered by a time-travelling soldier sent from 2029 to protect her. Dr. Silberman asks a few orderlies to prepare Sarah for her review later the afternoon. Sarah does not want to take her medication, to which the orderlies proceed to violently beat her and force-feed the meds to her. The fake police man arrives at the Voight residence, requesting to see John and ask him a few questions. Since Todd and Janelle don't know where John went off to on his bike, they give him John's photograph, and tell the officer that another big man on a motorcycle also came by to ask the same thing. The officer tells them not to worry about that man, and leaves, while John uses an illegal device to steal money from an ATM, so they can play video games at the Galleria Mall. Tim finds a picture of Sarah in John's bag (it's the picture seen in the previous film, the one made at the end of the movie), and John explains that Sarah is a complete psycho because she got arrested for trying to blow up a computer factory. Under the influence of the medication, Sarah has a dream vision of Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) telling her that John is in danger and she needs to save him. The vision ends with her walking behind Reese, ending up outside on a playground full of people, when suddenly, a very bright flash appears in the sky, and wakes her up. During her review, footage of an earlier session is played back, featuring a depressed Sarah, describing a returning dream of children being burned to a crisp and then blown away by nuclear fire. The video ends with a loudly raving Sarah who unsuccessfully tries to convince everyone that the end of the world is near. Sarah says that she has improved now, and no longer believes in her ordeal with the Terminator, nor that the factory where she destroyed it kept the remains of the cyborg a secret. However, in a computer lab elsewhere in the city, a computer developer called Miles Dyson (Joe Morton) is asked permission to conduct a test with a fragment of a computer chip, and a metal robot arm that was clearly once attached to a Terminator. Sarah tries to reason with Dr. Silberman to transfer her to a medium-security wing and let her contact her son, but he believes that she is only saying things he wants to hear, and refuses. Sarah breaks out in anger and attacks him, but gets heavily sedated by the staff. Meanwhile, from an overpass, the Terminator identifies John passing by on his bike below, and goes after him. The cop asks a few girls about John, and is told to find him at the Galleria. The cop arrives first at the arcade hall, using the picture to ask people about John; luckily, he also asks Tim, who feigns ignorance and then proceeds to warn John that the police are looking for him. John flees through a series of hallways, but encounters the Terminator, who brandishes a loaded shotgun. John reverses course, but runs into the fake cop, who fires his pistol, but the Terminator shields John from the bullets. It returns several heavy shotgun rounds into the cop, who collapses to the floor. However, the huge gaping holes in his body get filled quickly and he is back on his feet. After a brief struggle through a wall and inside a fashion store, the cop gets the upper hand and throws Terminator out of the shop's window. As Terminator gets up, the cop returns to chasing John who has escaped on his dirt bike. The cop even commandeers a semi-truck in his pursuit of John, who hopes to lose him in a dry canal, but even there the cop follows him by driving in. The Terminator follows them on his motorcycle alongside the canal. A long chase follows, where Terminator manages to jump into the canal, get in front of the truck and pick up John before he gets crushed by it. Then the Terminator blows the truck's tire, causing it to crash into a column and blow up in flames. But after they leave, the cop, who is apparently a fully metal android, walks from it unharmed. John asks the Terminator to pull over the motorcycle, realizing that the Terminator has not come to kill him. The Terminator explains it is a T-800, which John himself reprogrammed 35 years in the future to be his protector in the present. The other guy is a T-1000: an advanced type of Terminator made of liquid metal that will try and get John if he goes back home. Terminator's plan is to leave the city to escape the T-1000, but John insists on calling his foster parents first to warn them. Over the line, John hears his dog Max barking, and senses that something is off when speaking to Janelle, so Terminator fakes John's voice and asks Janelle about "Wolfie". Upon receiving the wrong answer, Terminator tells John that his foster parents are dead. At the Voight residence, it is revealed that the T-1000 has taken Janelle's shape and killed Tod. It goes out to the dog, killing it and seeing that its collar reads "Max"; it knows it has been deceived. The Terminator explains to John that the T-1000 can imitate everything of equal size that it has sampled previously by physical contact. It can't become a bomb or other complex machines with chemicals and moving parts, but it can form knives and stabbing weapons. At the hospital, a detective shows Sarah old CCTV photos of the Terminator while killing 17 police officers in 1984, as well as new pictures taken today at the mall from what looks like the same man. They tell her that John is missing, his foster parents were found murdered, and ask her what she knows about this man. As Sarah remains non-responsive, she is taken back to her cell while Dr. Silberman lets out the detectives. John tells about his childhood, when Sarah dragged him to places like Nicaragua and trained with ex-soldiers to teach him to become the "big military leader". When she was arrested, he started to believe she was crazy, but now he realizes that she was right about everything. He wants to go to the mental hospital to save her, but Terminator refuses, stating that T-1000 will likely go there, kill Sarah and imitate her to get to John. Upon hearing this, John wants to go immediately, but Terminator stops him, as Sarah is not a mission priority. They argue, which attracts two local men, and the ensuing struggle almost costs one of them his life; however, John also learns that the Terminator is mission-bound to obey his orders over any of its own priorities, so he tells the Terminator to help him rescue Sarah. Sarah is strapped to her bed by one of the abusive orderlies, but she has secretly taken a paperclip from the detectives, and uses it to open her restraints and cell door. In the meanwhile, the T-1000 has arrived at Pescadero, and disguised itself as part of the floor. It reshapes itself as one of the passing guards, killing and impersonating him to get access to the high-security wing. Then John and the Terminator arrive, with John making the T-800 swear to stop killing people. Terminator demonstrates his liberal interpretation of this order by wounding the guard outside in order to get access to the hospital. Sarah has made her way to Dr. Silberman by beating up several orderlies, using him as a hostage to get past the guard booth out of the high-security ward. Silberman manages to get away, so Sarah runs off and loses a group of orderlies chasing her, and escapes further into the building, trying to get out through an elevator. However, suddenly, the Terminator comes out, and Sarah naturally thinks it is there to kill her again. In a panic, she flees back to where she came from, and gets overpowered by the orderlies and Silberman who have found her again. Terminator violently beats them up, and John assures her that the Terminator is there to help them. Suddenly, the T-1000 comes up, oozing through a door with bars in the hallway (much to the amazement of an incredulous Silberman), so John, Sarah and the Terminator escape into the elevator. T-1000 gets into the shaft and assaults them through the roof with blades it creates from its arms, but they finally reach the garage and escape with a police car. T-1000 gives chase on foot, but after several close calls, they finally manage to leave him behind. As it returns to the hospital, it greets an approaching motorcycle cop, complimenting him on his vehicle. Sarah admonishes John for coming to the hospital to rescue her as he is way too important for that, much to John's grief. Terminator asks about John's crying, but John says it's nothing. They take shelter for the night in an abandoned gas station, to tend to Sarah's wounds and those of the Terminator, who says that his will heal over time so he can continue posing as human. John asks him if he can learn to act more human too: Terminator says that his CPU is a learning computer, but Skynet sets it to read-only when they are sent out alone (they don't want their soldiers to do much thinking). On John's suggestion, they open the T-800's metal skull and access his chip to reset it, but Sarah wants to use that opportunity to destroy it, as she doesn't trust the Terminator. However, John manages to show some leadership qualities by convincing her otherwise. The next morning, they leave in an old abandoned car to go south to hide from the T-1000. John takes the opportunity to teach Terminator some cooler ways of communication (like "Hasta La Vista, baby" when outshining someone). After a while, they stop at a gas pump and fast-food restaurant, where John tries to teach Terminator how to smile (but the result is less than convincing). As they eat, John notices a couple of young boys playing with toy guns. It prompts him to contemplate whether humanity will make it as a species; Terminator responds that it is in humanity's nature to destroy themselves. As they leave again, Sarah asks the Terminator about who is responsible for building Skynet. The Terminator tells her that it is Miles Bennett Dyson, a high-ranking employee at Cyberdyne Systems, who will invent a new microprocessor in a few months that revolutionizes the entire military computer system. Cyberdyne computers will completely replace human functions and decisions in strategic defense systems as the Skynet program goes online on August 4th, 1997. It learns at such a fast rate that it becomes self-aware on August 29th. As the humans try to shut it down in a panic, Skynet starts a nuclear strike that plunges the Earth's nations into a nuclear war. Sarah says that she wants to know everything there is to know about Dyson. In the meanwhile, an unsuspecting Dyson is hitting a dead end while working at home on his microprocessor. He explains to his wife Tarissa (S. Epatha Merkerson) that his new invention will be such an advanced learning machine that it can replace people as pilots, and thereby eliminate human errors. But given that the project is currently going nowhere, he agrees to leave it for now, and take his wife and two children to the water park, as promised. Sarah, John and the Terminator arrive at a desert trailer park that is strewn with old, stripped vehicles. It belongs to Enrique Salceda (Castulo Guerra) and his family, a long-time friend who took Sarah and John in long ago. Terminator is introduced as 'Uncle Bob', and looks at one of Enrique's toddlers in fascination. Sarah tells Enrique that they need the weapons that she left there for safekeeping, as well as clothes, food, and a truck. John and Terminator are put on weapons detail, so Terminator opens an old weapons cache that is filled with Sarah's guns. Sarah tells Enrique that his compound is no longer safe; they will cross the border tonight, and he and his family will need to leave as well. While the Terminator makes a selection of weapons (including a huge minigun that almost makes it smile), John explains that he grew up in places like this, learning to work with weapons and explosives until his mother got busted. He asks Terminator if it ever gets scared of dying, but it responds that it is only concerned with staying functional until its mission is complete; something John can relate to. They start fixing the truck they will be using to cross the border, and talk some more about John's previous father figures, with segues into the lack of his real father in his life, Kyle Reese. Although he and Sarah were only together for one night, John sometimes catches her crying for him. The Terminator asks why people cry, so John tries to explain that it comes from pain, but not just the physical pain. They fool around some more as John teach Terminator a high-five and a thumbs-up, while Sarah, sitting at a wooden table, looks on: "Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The Terminator would never stop, it would never leave him, it would never hurt him, never shout at him or get drunk and hit him, or say it was too busy to spend time with him. And it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice." Sarah starts carving some letters into the table while watching Enrique's kids play. She briefly rests her head, and falls asleep. She finds herself back on the playground, but separated from the other people by a fence. One of the people is a young version of herself, playing with an infant John. She tries to warn them by yelling and loudly thrashing the fence, but no sound comes out of her mouth. Suddenly, a blinding flash of light appears in the sky, coming from the familiar mushroom shape of a nuclear explosion. Sarah and the people scream as they instantly catch fire, while the shockwave of the bomb turns buildings and vehicles into instant rubble; and just when the wave blows all the charred remains of people away, like in the dream she described earlier, Sarah awakens with a shock. She looks at the two words she carved into the table: NO FATE. The message is clear to her. Sarah packs a rifle and a bag, throws them in the car and leaves, much to John's shock and surprise. Enrique tells him that he and Terminator will leave south tonight, and that Sarah will catch up with them later. Pondering at the picnic table, they note the words NO FATE; John explains that it is a message from his future self to Sarah, one that he had Kyle memorize: 'The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.' They deduce that Sarah intends to change the future, and is going after Miles Dyson. They leave in a hurry in the fixed truck, but Terminator says that here is a danger that the T-1000 anticipates this move, and will be waiting for them; also, Dyson's death may actually prevent Judgment Day. John doesn't want to hear it, and scolds the Terminator for still not understanding that people have feelings, and actually care whether they live or die. Sarah arrives at the Dyson residence, and sets up her laser-sighted rifle in the garden. She is ready to shoot Miles, who is sitting at his computer, but as she fires, he is briefly distracted by his son playing, and the bullet misses. Sarah opens automatic fire on Miles, who hides behind his desk and yells at his wife and son to flee the house. As Sarah empties her clip, she take a sidearm and enters the house, shooting a fleeing Miles in the arm. His son comes back to shield his father, but in spite of Sarah's earlier resolve, she can't bring herself to kill Miles in front of his wife and son, and curls up in a corner. John arrives with The Terminator, who does a quick check and determines that Miles injury is only a flesh wound. John embraces his mother, who is realizing that she was about to become a Terminator herself, and is finally able to return her love for him. John instructs Terminator to show Miles and Tarissa who they are: in a grotesque demonstration, Terminator makes several cuts in the flesh of his arm, and pulls away the skin to show the metal arm underneath, much to the couple's shock. The group sits down at the kitchen table as Sarah narrates: "Dyson listened while the Terminator laid it all down: Skynet, Judgment Day, the history of things to come. It's not everyday you find out that you're responsible for three billion deaths. He took it pretty well." Dyson argues that he couldn't have known that his invention would cause such misery, but Sarah scoffs that it's always men who build terrible weapons without regards for the possible consequences. Dyson agrees to quit at Cyberdyne and stop working on his microchip, but Terminator convinces him that no one must be allowed to finish his work: all the research and files at Cyberdyne and his house will have to go. Dyson also mentions the chip at the Cyberdyne vault: although he was never told where it came from, it must have been from the previous Terminator. All work on his new microprocessor was based on this defect chip, so it must be destroyed to stop the development of Skynet. Sarah narrates: "The future, always so clear to me, has become like a black highway at night. We were in uncharted territory now... making up history as we went along." Sarah, John, Miles and Terminator arrive at Cyberdyne, and after incapacitating the guard, they make their way to the research lab. However, another guard has just returned from his round, finds his bound and gagged colleague, and trips the silent alarm. Not only does this alert the police, it also resets all code-protected doors and devices inside the building. John uses his illegal ATM device to retrieve the vault key from a box, while Terminator blows an access hole into the lab with his M-79 grenade launcher. At that time, the T-1000, now dressed as a motorcycle cop, arrives at the Dyson residence, finding it deserted and all computers and papers gone up in flames. Its police walkie-talkie calls upon all units to go to the Cyberdyne building where a robbery is in progress by multiple armed suspects. Sarah and Terminator are gathering and smashing all the files and hard discs from the lab, while Miles destroys the model of his microchip himself, after all the years that he has worked on it. John has finally retrieved the vault key, but notices the huge police force standing outside, including a circling helicopter. While Terminator and Sarah are wiring up barrels of explosives for remote detonation, John warns them about the police, so Terminator steps out to deal with them (as promised, with non-lethal means). It breaks a window on the second floor, and destroys all police cars with the minigun and grenade launcher, and disperses the police with tear gas grenades. As its internal processor notes, there are no casualties, and it goes back inside. A SWAT Team, however, prepares to go inside the building. John and Miles manage to open the vault with their keys, and take both the chip and the Terminator arm with them. They get back to the lab, where Sarah and Terminator have just finished setting up the explosives. As they get ready to leave, the lab door suddenly bursts open, with the SWAT Team members pouring in and opening automatic fire. John and Terminator flee outside and Sarah manages to take cover, but Miles is hit several times, and stoops to the ground in shock. He shows Sarah that he is holding the detonator before she makes a run towards the lab's clean room, but John and Terminator note on the CCTV that there is no exit from there. Terminator bursts through a wall to get Sarah out, and they leave towards the elevators. The SWAT Team members close in on a dying and hyperventilating Miles, who is now holding a piece of his microprocessor model over the detonator, saying that he doesn't know how long he will be able to hold it. The SWAT Team immediately pulls out, and as they exit the building and John, Sarah and Terminator take an elevator down, Miles' breathing slows down, until he finally drops the weight on the detonator. The Cyberdyne building explodes in a blinding ball of fire. After temporarily stalling, the elevator reaches the first floor, but the SWAT Team is waiting farther ahead in the lobby, and fires off several rounds of tear gas. John and Sarah protect themselves with a gas mask, while the Terminator goes out to deal with the SWAT members, saying its signature line "I'll be back." It sustains heavy machine gun fire that tears up one side of his face, but it is finally able to neutralize the team with some strategically placed leg shots and tear gas grenades. It goes outside, commandeers the SWAT Team van, and drives it through the front entrance to pick up John and Sarah. In the meanwhile, T-1000 has arrived at the scene, and driven its motorcycle up the stairs of the burnt-down building, finding the lab having been totally destroyed. It suddenly hears the SWAT van leave and the police firing upon it, so it wastes no time, accelerates its motorcycle and drives it off the edge of the second floor towards the hovering helicopter. It jumps off, clamps itself to the canopy, breaks the glass with a quick head-butt, and under the incredulous eyes of the pilot, it oozes through the hole and into the cockpit. It tells him to get out as its reforms into its human shape, and starts flying in pursuit of the van. John and Sarah are in the back of the van as the Terminator drives it over a freeway, avoiding other cars and trucks at high speed, while Sarah fires an M-16 back at the T-1000. They are unable to shake it off, even when driving under an overpass, and the T-1000 eventually manages to shoot Sarah in the thigh. The Terminator hits the breaks, causing the helicopter to crash into the back of the van, destroying it. The van moves on, but damage to the back causes a tire to blow, making the van swerve and finally slam on its side. A tanker truck driver has stopped behind the helicopter wreckage, looking in amazement as the T-1000 walks from it unharmed, but unfortunately, T-1000 fatally stabs him and takes hold of his truck to resume its pursuit. John, Terminator and a wounded Sarah commandeer a smaller truck from a passing driver, and drive off with the T-1000's tanker truck in hot pursuit. Terminator's guns and grenade launcher are insufficient to keep the truck at bay, so it tells John to take the off-ramp, steps over to the T-1000's cabin and turns the wheel, making the truck tip over. John and Sarah drive their truck into a factory, slamming into a fork lift, as the T-1000's truck slides over the floor, hits a gate and breaks in two, with Terminator jumping off and rolling to safety. The crash causes the truck's cargo of liquid nitrogen to be released, freezing the T-1000 to the floor as it tries to walk through. In an effort to proceed, it breaks off several limbs until it remains motionless. Terminator destroys it with his sidearm, using the words "Hasta la vista, baby." As the pieces of the frozen T-1000 spread out, they suddenly realize they are inside a steel mill; sparks fly around, and the ambient temperature slowly melts the broken pieces back into liquid metal, as they ooze together and the T-1000 reappears again in his fake cop format. John and Terminator move further inside the steel mill to avoid the T-1000, dragging the wounded Sarah with them. Although T-1000 seems fully functional again, it does seem to have suffered some negative effects from the freezing: whenever part of its body touches something like a railing or an industrial floor, that part involuntarily mimics that object. Terminator tells John and Sarah to go ahead while it will make a stand, much to John's anguish. As soon as T-1000 arrives, Terminator engages it in a fierce fist fight, but it simply cannot inflict any permanent damage onto it, as T-1000 simply reforms with every beat. Eventually, it pushes Terminator's left arm into a giant cogwheel, crushing it and immobilizing its foe, and leaves off to find John. Terminator picks up a steel rod and simply amputates its own arm to set itself free. Sarah and John get to a higher platform, as they see T-1000 approaching. Sarah uses a chain to lower John onto a conveyor belt below, but decides to stay behind and fight to give John more time to escape, much to John's anguish. She uses her shotgun to fire at the T-1000 a few times, but eventually it gets close enough to pierce her shoulder with its index finger. The android tortures her to get her to call John back, but she refuses, and just as it is about to pierce her head, Terminator arrives and uses its steel rod to skewer the T-1000. A new fight ensues as Sarah scrambles off to safety, but with only one arm, Terminator is even less of a match to the quick and agile T-1000, which uses the iron bar to mercilessly pound its enemy to the ground. Then, it uses a suspended steel bar to crush Terminator's head several times, during which it loses its left eye. As it drags itself towards the grenade launcher that it has dropped, the T-1000 finally eliminates Terminator by driving the steel rod through its back; Terminator's red eye light goes out as the android deactivates. While Sarah is fighting her injuries and starts reloading her shotgun, and John is looking for a way out of the conveyor belt, Terminator manages to reactivate itself by finding an alternate power route within its circuits. It removes the iron rod from its body and grabs the grenade launcher. John hears Sarah calling for him, and after a brief climb to the highest platform, he finds her struggling to stay upright. Just as he wants to approach her, another Sarah appears behind the first, brandishing the shotgun, telling him to get out of the way. John notices that the first Sarah's' feet seem fused to the grated floor, indicating that she is, in fact, the T-1000. Real Sarah fires many rounds into her counterpart, which changes back into the fake cop, and her shots bring T-1000 teetering to the edge of the platform, but before she can shoot it off, her shotgun clicks, signifying it is empty. John and Sarah make ready to run away again, but as they turn, they see Terminator arriving from behind on a conveyor belt. It shoots T-1000 with the grenade launcher, and the exploding grenade turns the android in a grotesque shape of limbs and a head, which loses balances and plunges into a vat of molten steel below. The effect is devastating: the T-1000 thrashes and shrieks as it goes through all its previous iterations: Janelle, the hospital guard, the motor cop, then a weird collection of heads and finally a face that turns inside-out, before completely dissolving and dissipating. John helps the half-destroyed Terminator get up, which says that the T-1000 got "terminated". They throw the metal arm and the chip in the molten steel as well, believing that Judgment Day is finally averted. However, the Terminator reminds them that there is still one more chip that must be destroyed, pointing at its skull. It gives Sarah the controls of an electric pulley connected to a chain, stating that it cannot self-terminate, and she must lower it into the steel. John cries and begs Terminator to stay with them, but it states that it must end here. Finally, John orders his friend not to go. After a long pause, the Terminator states that it now understands why he cries; but it is something that it will never be able to do. John gives Terminator a final hug, and Sarah shakes hands with it, as it steps up the chain and is slowly lowered down into the steel. The heat slowly dissolves the android, and as its head disappears below the steel, Terminator does a final thumbs-up to his young protegee before its internal processor shuts down. Sarah and John look down into the steel as John cries, with Sarah looking into the camera for her final narration: "The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it for the first time with a sense of hope. Because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too."
