"Born to Run" is the twenty-second episode of the second season of the American television series ''Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles'', and the thirty-first episode of the series. It was written by executive producer Josh Friedman and directed by Jeffrey Hunt. The episode was first broadcast on April 10, 2009 on the Fox Broadcasting Company in the United States. It is the last episode of the program's second season and it also served as the series finale. "Born to Run", like the previous episode, "Adam Raised a Cain", is named after a Bruce Springsteen song The episode takes place shortly after events depicted in the preceding episode, "Adam Raised a Cain". In that episode, Sarah Connor (Lena Headey) has been captured by the FBI while returning Savannah Weaver to James Ellison (Richard T. Jones), Derek Reese (Brian Austin Green) has been killed during the termination attempt on Savannah Weaver's young life, while John Connor (Thomas Dekker) and the Terminator Cameron (Summer Glau) are in hiding, and the liquid metal Terminator Catherine Weaver (Shirley Manson) reveals that her intentions are quite different from what anyone believes them to be. In "Born to Run", John and Sarah finally meet Weaver, and the ensuing events alter the course of the series dramatically. ==Plot== Sarah (Headey) is questioned by FBI Agent Auldridge (Joshua Malina), who lists the charges against her and asks where her son is. Sarah claims that John (Dekker) died in the bank vault explosion (from the first episode of the series), but Auldridge states that he doesn't believe her. James Ellison (Jones) visits her, telling a largely unconvinced Sarah that he had no part in her capture and encourages her to tell the FBI the truth about Skynet and the future. Sarah points out that the last time she did that, it landed her in a psychiatric ward. After learning that Savannah Weaver (Mackenzie Brooke Smith) has been returned to her mother, Sarah stresses that the child is not safe, an exclamation observed via CCTV by Agent Auldridge as well as by John Henry (Dillahunt) and Catherine Weaver (Manson). Later, Auldrige changes his interrogation tactics, telling Sarah that he believes her about the machines, but Sarah insists that John is dead. As he departs, Auldridge reveals that Danny Dyson, son of Miles Dyson, has been missing for the past three months. Sarah sends a message to John, ordering him not to attempt a rescue. Meanwhile, John and Cameron (Glau) are in hiding, and when John states that he needs to research whether his mother's cancer might be caused by being around Cameron's nuclear power cell. Cameron states that internal sensors would be able to detect any radiation leakage. Frustrated, he asks about them, Cameron states that they cannot be seen. John points out that machines are not perfect and, underneath it all, Cameron's original programming is to kill him. Weaver has Ellison arrange a meeting with John, and destroys a terminator (Pierce) as it attempts to break into ZeiraCorp. Its processor chip is recovered but found to be coated in a phosphorus solution, which destroys it when extracted. Weaver asks John Henry if he can recover data from the damaged chip to find out who sent Pierce. Ellison delivers Weaver's message, and when John appears unconvinced, Ellison relays the additional message from Weaver to Cameron, "Will you join us?", a question asked of the T-1001 in the post-apocalyptic future detailed in the episode "Today is the Day". This suggests that Weaver is the same T1001. An affected Cameron quickly claims not to understand and immediately asks Ellison to leave. John observes that Cameron appears upset, but is told that machines are not capable of emotional response. Cameron removes her shirt and bra, explaining that John needs to understand that while reprogrammed, terminators are created with only one function, and that can never be undone. Cameron then gives John intimate access to her mechanics, so that he can see for himself that the power source is not leaking. Afterwards, Father Bonilla is contacted to tell Sarah they are breaking her out anyway. Elsewhere, Weaver learns from Murch (Shane Edelman) that moving John Henry to a more secure location might not be possible, as any change to the hardware, even something as minor as replacing a damaged wire, alters who John Henry is. Cameron effects Sarah's escape, avoiding using lethal force on jail personnel while a monitoring John Henry assists by unlocking all the facility's doors. Sarah decides to meet with Weaver immediately, and wants Cameron to destroy John Henry. John confesses his love to his mother amid his concerns about her health. At their meeting, Weaver begins to speak of their common enemy, SkyNET, but is interrupted by a flying drone attack. Weaver expands its body to shield them from the resulting blast, revealing its nature to the Connors and a shocked Ellison. They afterwards quickly make their way to the basement, and Weaver points out that Sarah's son cannot save the world without "her son" John Henry. They discover John Henry missing and an immobile Cameron ''sans'' processor. An apology to John flashes across the screen of a nearby monitor. Weaver reveals that John Henry was being built to fight SkyNET and has departed into the future, activating a time displacement device, taking itself and John forward in time, leaving Sarah and Ellison behind. Weaver and John (but not Cameron) arrive naked in the future. Hearing voices, Weaver vanishes as John dons a nearby coat to cover himself and is captured by a human patrol led by Derek Reese (Brian Austin Green). John is shocked to see him alive again, and more so to learn that not only does Derek not know him, but no one else has ever heard of him, either. John turns to see the man who will be his father, Kyle Reese (Jonathan Jackson) and Allison Young (Summer Glau). In the room in which John and Weaver had arrived, Sarah's disembodied voice echoes unheard amidst a crackle of time displacement energy that she loves John, too. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Born to Run (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
