Season One

The last image of Sarah's nightmare
The police have caught up with Sarah and John, and confront them while Sarah is picking up John from school. While both of them are locked in separate police cars, the nightmare terminator appears. He initiates a shootout with the police (starting with a sawed-off shotgun, then pulling out two MP5s), and Sarah and John manage to escape from their respective cars. To Sarah's horror, the terminator shoots John in the back while he is running away. Sarah rushes to his side, but it is too late; John is dead.

The terminator approaches her, his gun pointed at her. Sarah cries "Do it! It doesn't matter anymore. Nothing matters anymore!" The terminator replies "you're right, nothing matters anymore."

In the background, a nuclear bomb goes off, and the skies darken. The heat blast burns off the terminator's skin, and his endoskeleton continues its march towards Sarah. Before the nightmare ends, the camera zooms in on the endoskeleton's glowing red eyes.
