Terminator 2

Sarah, now 64 years old, reflects on the dark future she saw thirty years ago that never came to pass. She continues to fight against those who build dangerous machines. John Connor, though no longer battle-scarred, continues the fight through politics in the Senate rather than war. Sarah finds hope and joy in her role as a grandmother, something she credits the Terminator with teaching her was possible by valuing human life.

STILL TRACKING we come to rest on an elderly woman seated on
a bench. It is SARAH, now 64 years old. The world has aged
her, but she seems at peace in this moment. She speaks
into a microcassette recorder.
SARAH (V.O.)
That was thirty years ago. But the
dark future which never came still
exists for me, and it always will, like
the traces of a dream lingering in the
morning light. And the war against the
machine goes on. Or, to be more precise,
the war against those who build the
wrong machines.
There is a man in his forties playing with two small children
nearby. He turns. It is John Connor. Though he has the
same stern features in adulthood, there is no eye-patch,
no scarring. He is far from the haggard man of grim destiny
we saw in the world that might have been. But there is
still penetrating intelligence, even wisdom, in his eyes.
SARAH (V.O.)
John fights the war differently
than it was foretold. Here, on the
battlefield of the Senate, the weapons
are common sense... and hope.
A FOUR-YEAR OLD GIRL runs to her to have her shoelace tied.
GIRL
Tie me, grandma.
Grandma Sarah smiles. It is the only time we have seen her
smile so far. She bends as the little girl puts her foot
up on the bench. She ties as we hear:
SARAH (V.O.)
The luxury of hope was given to me
by the Terminator. Because if a machine
can learn the value of human life...
maybe we can too.
Sarah ruffles the kid's hair as she runs off to play with
her dad.
