Now don't take this the wrong way, but you are a Terminator, right?

Yes. Cyberdyne Systems, Model 101.

[Pokes at one of Terminator's bullet wounds.]

Holy shit! You're really real! I mean, you're like a machine underneath, right? But sort of alive outside?

I'm a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.

This is intense. Get a grip, John. OK, uhm, you're not here to kill me. I figured that part out for myself. So what's the deal?

My mission is to protect you.

Yeah? Who sent you?

You did. Thirty-five years from now, you re-programmed me to be your protector here, in this time.

Oh, this is deep...

[Cuts to them riding a motorcycle at night]

So this other guy? He's a terminator like you, right?

Not like me. A T-1000. Advanced prototype.

You mean more advanced than you are?

Yes. A mimetic polyalloy.

What the hell does that mean?

Liquid metal.
