| EXT. CHASE -- 405 FREEWAY -- DAY |
| THE QUANTUM PLASMA jumps to an electrical conduit on the elevated 405 Freeway. Plasma shoots up from a light pole base on the southbound side. A light pole is BLASTED from its base like a rocket. It takes the trajectory of a javelin thrown by a powerful athlete. The PLASMA shoots upward. It forms an arch and crosses to a lightpole base on the northbound side of 405. THE BLACKTOP in front of the Neon is impaled by a light pole. Sarah swerves in the nick of time. She reaches in the backseat, grabs an M-16. |
| SARAH crawls in the backseat, leans out the rear drivers side window and FIRES the M-16. THE FRONT RIGHT FENDER of a Lincoln is stuck by a lightpole. The Lincoln flips forward, end over end. The front right side RIPS AWAY. The trunk almost slams into the Neon. INSIDE THE SEMI plasma shoots from the Terminator's chest and into the instrument panel. He turns on the truck's lights. The truck bears down on the Neon. Streams of plasma shoot out of the headlights of the semi, aiming for the rear of the Neon. Sarah shoots at the truck's headlights. She shouts to John. |
| John reaches under the
dashboard. He yanks on the mass of wires under the dash; rips out the
fuse panel. Plastic SNAPS. John hisses in pain, cutting himself; blood
drips. THE PLASMA SNAKES vaporize the tail light covers and rip across the trunk of the car leaving molten trails resembling welding arcs. |
