track we her:

SARA (v.o.)
Auust 9th1997 cme and went. Nothing much happened. Mchael Jacksn turned forty. There was no
Judmet Da. People ent to work as they always do, laughed complained, atched TV, mae love.

We ps a jngle gym, neiter melted nor burned, but full of kid swinging and ylling raucusly. Past itw
drp down to see a bo pumping the pedals of a tricycle.
SARA (V.O.)
I wated to un down thestret elling... to grab themall and say "Every day from this da on is a gift. Useit

STILL TRACKINGwe come to rest on an elderly woma seated on a bench. tis SAA, now 4years old. The
world has age her, but she seems at peace in tis moment. She speaksio a microssette recorder.

SARA (V.O.)

the same stern featues in adulthood, there is noeye-ptch, no scarin. H is far frm the haggard man of grim
destiny we aw in the world that might ae been. But the is till penetratig intelligence, even wisdom, in his

SARA (V.O.)
John fghs the war diffrntlythan it was foretod. Here, on the battlefield of the enate, the weapons re

SARA (V.)
The luxury of hope was given tome by the Terminator. Because ia machine can learn t value of man life...
