Three days later, John desires to go outside. But Sarah is concerned that they need new identities first. Cameron takes Sarah to meet resistance agents from 2027, who were sent back to provide supplies such as money and weapons. When the two arrive at the safe house they find the resistance agents have been slaughterd. A Terminator poses as an agent and flees the safe house.
