(The static cuts to Sarah Connor at the mental hospital from the footage of "Terminator 2: Judgment Day".)
Sarah Connor: It's like a giant strobe light, burning right through my eyes. (exhales) Somehow, I can still see it. Oh, God. Look, you know the dream's the same every night, why do I have to--? The children look like burnt paper, black, not moving. And then, the blast wave hits them and they fly apart like leaves. (sobs)
Dr. Silberman: Dreams of the end of the world are very common.
Sarah Connor: It's not a dream, you moron. It's real. I know the date it happens.
Dr. Silberman: I'm sure it feels very real to you.
Sarah Connor: On August 29th, 1997, it's gonna feel pretty fucking real to you, too! Anyone not wearing two million sunblock is gonna have a real bad day, get it? God, you think you're safe and alive? You're already dead. Everybody. Him, you! You're dead already! This whole place, everything you see is gone! You're the one living in a fucking dream, Silberman! Because I know it happens! It happens!
(The static cuts to black and the scene fades up to the future war in 2029 in Los Angeles as text comes up: "Los Angeles, 2029 A.D.".)
Sarah Connor: (voiceover) My name is Sarah Connor. There once was a future in which humankind was hunted by a machine that could think and Terminators built to kill. August 29, 1997 was supposed to be Judgment Day, the war between the humans and the machines.
(The resistance and the machines fight each other as a soldier fires a rocket launcher at a HK-Aerial and then it explodes. Another soldier throws a grenade at a HK-Tank and it explodes. A T-800 endoskeleton and John Connor confront each other as they aim at each other until the scene flashes to white and fades up to Santa Monica Pier in 1999 as text comes up: "Santa Monica Pier, 1999 A.D.".)
Sarah Connor: (voiceover) But that future never happened because I stopped Judgment Day and changed the future. I saved 3 billion lives of humanity, including my son, John Connor, the future leader of the human resistance.
(Sarah Connor watches the shore as John Connor buys two bottles of Pepsi and gives one to Sarah.)
1999 Sarah Connor: Thanks, John.
Young John Connor: (in Spanish) No problem.
(Suddenly, a T-1000 prepares to kill Sarah and John until a T-800 arrives and wields an M79 grenade launcher as he points it at the T-1000.)
Terminator: Get down.
(Sarah and John Connor duck down as Terminator shoots T-1000 in the abdomen and the grenade explodes and kills T-1000. The patrons shout and exit the pier.)
Terminator: (shows John and Sarah his hand) Come with me if you want to live.
(Sarah takes the Terminator's hand as they walk.)
Sarah Connor: (voiceover) There are three Terminators who had been sent back through time. The first Terminator tried to kill me in the year 1984 before John was born. It failed. The second was reprogrammed by the resistance to protect John from the T-1000 from trying to kill him. It failed, too. Now, the third had killed another T-1000 in Santa Monica Pier. And we hunt evil machines from the future. It was the only mission to change the course of human history to change the future once more.
(The opening credits start as the title comes up: "Terminator: Awakening" while the Terminator theme plays in the background. After the opening credits end, the scene changes to the front view of the truck as its engine starts. A truck drives away as text comes up: "Los Angeles, 2014 A.D. 15 Years Later. 10:30 PM". A blue time sphere appears with electricity bolts crackling as it disappears and Marion falls down to the street naked.)
Marion: (stands up; breathing heavily)
(Marion walks around to see two alley people relaxing at night while they listen to "Guitars, Cadillacs" by Dwight Yoakam on the radio in the alley.)
Male Alley: Oh, my God. Are you okay, lady? Do you need some help?
Female Alley: Why the hell are you naked anyway?
Marion: I have no idea. I was sent back in time by the human resistance from the year 2029.
Female Watcher: I'm sorry, what'd you just say?
Marion: I said I was sent back in time by the human resistance from the year 2029 during the future battle between humans and machines.
Male Watcher: Oh, so that's why you're from the future.
Marion: (hears the sirens approach) I hear something. It's the police.
(The police sirens wail as the police cars park. Two police officers exit the car and walk over to Marion.)
Police Officer: Madam, excuse me. Don't you know that public nudity's against the law?
Marion: No, sir.
Police Officer #2: We're gonna have to ask you to come with us to the police station.
Police Officer #1: (as Marion feels ignorant) Won't you respond, madam?
Police Officer #2: Where are you from, madam?
Marion: The future. 2029. The human resistance sent me here.
Police Officer #1: Take her down.
(Marion fights two police officers as she throws one to the wall unconsciously and knocks the other down unconsciously. She takes deep breaths as two alley people walk over to Marion.)
Male Alley: Wow. That was amazing, dude. Thanks, lady. You just saved our asses.
Marion: (approaches the male alley slowly) Don't thank me yet.
(The scene cuts to Marion who wears a male alley's clothes and rides a male alley's car as the song plays "You Could Be Mine" by Guns N' Roses on the car speakers.)
Male Alley: Go to hell, lady!
Female Alley: Yeah, let's go.
Male Alley: "Help me with her", you said. "She's hurt", you said.
(The scene cuts to the rooftop at night as another time sphere appears and it disappears as the new Terminator named the T-2000 stands up naked as he walks down the stairs and enters the strip club. T-2000 finds the perfect match as he identifies a female patron as text says "inappropriate".)
Female Patron: Naked, baby.
(T-2000 identifies the male patron with biker clothes and boots as text says "identified".)
Male Patron: Goddamn, you're so fucking naked.
T-2000: Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. I love your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.
Male Patron: Oh. Thanks, dude.
T-2000: Allow me.
Male Patron: Wait, what are you doing, dude?
(T-2000 places his hand on the male patron's shoulders as the T-2000 morphs into the male patron's clothes and boots.)
T-2000: Thank you for your time, sir. Have a good night. (leaves)
Male Patron: Oh, my God. It's actually real.
(The scene cuts to the city of Los Angeles at sunrise as text comes up: "6:31 AM".)
