INT. APARTMENT -- DAY

CORTEZ
Sarah! Here!

Cortez slides an M-16 across the floor to Sarah.

A BARRAGE OF BULLETS

shatters the window next to Sarah. She flattens herself against the floor. The FBI agents keep firing. Bullets pound the 1/4 inch sheet metal bolted to the walls.

MCCALLUM calls up to the roof with the bullhorn.

MCCALLUM
(amplified)
HOLD YOUR GODDAM FIRE!

SARAH fires the M-16 back out the window while ducking behind a white cast-iron radiator.

MCCALLUM ducks as bullets strafe across the car in front of him. He motions to the Bradley Vehicles. He picks up a two-way radio.

MCCALLUM
Send in the Bradleys!

ON THE ROOF, T-2000 turns to the Terminator. He coldly stares back.

TERMINATOR
Now it's time. Patience pays off.

THE BRADLEYS

roll down toward the empty apartment building. The tire treads run over trash and weeds and a ragged childs doll. The plastic head is flatted on the dirt.

THE TURRETS

on the armored vehicles ram the building, BREAKING OPEN the walls. SMASH! The turrets BREAK OFF supports in the first floor. Canisters of CS tear gas are injected into the building's first floor; just like the Branch Davidian Complex in WACO.

AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET

is pushed out of a wall. The wires, short out and spark. The sparks begin a fire.
