Mission
The Amazon terminator started a wild killing spree at Sarah's hotel. Sarah fled to her San Francisco murder accomplice Alex Gander's studio, where the terminator methodically tracked her (4th S.F. contact in the Rolodex). Engineering an escape from the carnage at the studio by dropping massive industrial artwork on the terminator, Sarah continues to flee in a cab. The terminator pursued on a motorcycle until run off the road by the cabbie just short of a police roadblock where her husband Michael was waiting. Ellis Ruggles and his current animal companion, the pet monkey Peanut snatched Sarah and Michael from the roadblock as the terminator laid waste to the police, covering them with a grazing shot from his Fazer. Explaining the Skynet future and the threat the terminator poses, Ruggles planned to sneak the Connors out of the city on the ferry. The terminator tracked them to the boat and a battle ensued. Ruggles ended up in the water with his weapon, mortally wounded. Knowing he has only one shot, he gave his life to mostly disable the terminator.
