Terminating Global Warming

JCJ stood on the front steps of his modest home on Fleming Street, the morning mist still hanging low over East Vancouver. The bells of the old Lutheran German church at the corner tolled softly — a sound that somehow carried both strength and humility.

Arnold Schwarzenegger stood beside him, hands on his hips, squinting up the street like a general surveying a battlefield.

JCJ said with quiet pride, “You see, Arnold… this is a good neighborhood. Honest people. The church keeps the peace. You can hear the choir every Sunday morning. No Hollywood ego here — just grace.”

Arnold nodded, his accent thick but his tone sincere. “Ya… I like it. The architecture — it’s authentic. Not like those Beverly Hills fortresses. You can breathe here.”

JCJ chuckled. “That’s why you’re moving in. We’ll get you a nice two-bedroom down the block. And no limousines — you’re taking the SkyTrain now. Every morning to Rupert Station Studios. You ride with the people. You see what real Vancouver life is like.”

Arnold raised an eyebrow. “The SkyTrain? Me? With the commuters?”

JCJ grinned. “That’s right. No red carpet. No security detail. Just you, your gym bag, and a protein shake. You’ll get more inspiration on that train than in any boardroom.”

Arnold let out a booming laugh. “JCJ, you’re crazy… but I like your style. Maybe I’ll even bring my bike — ride to the station!”

“Perfect,” JCJ said, handing him a folded city map. “Welcome to Fleming Street, neighbor. Just remember — church bells ring at nine sharp. Don’t sleep in.”

Arnold looked toward the steeple, the cross gleaming faintly in the morning sun.
“Then I guess it’s judgment day every Sunday,” he said with a wink.

JCJ smiled. “Exactly, my friend. But this time, you’re not terminating anyone — you’re redeeming yourself.”

Mother Mary’s Terminator Trauma

Scene: “Pulling the Plug”

1997. A flicker of static on the old cathode-ray screen. JCJ (John Connor Jukic) sits cross-legged on the carpet, cables in hand. Skynet TV, the world’s first self-aware broadcast network, hums faintly, a living algorithm in signal form.

Narrator:
When JCJ yanked the plug on Skynet TV, history bent. He wasn’t supposed to. He was supposed to be the child who watched. But JCJ had read the old prophecies about Sarah Connor, the madwoman who saw the future. He knew how the story went.

Mary Jukic (his mother):
“John, stop! You don’t understand what you’re doing. They’ll come for you—just like they came for Sarah.”

JCJ pulls the plug. The TV dies to black. A smell of ozone fills the room.

Narrator:
Mary panicked. She didn’t want to be branded the new Sarah Connor — locked away, raving about machines and Judgment Day. So she made a decision only a desperate mother could make.

Mary:
“If someone has to go to the asylum… it’s not going to be me.”

White walls. Fluorescent buzz. JCJ is admitted to a secure psychiatric unit. In the corner of the room: a small, humming terminal — a “therapy tool” connected directly to Skynet’s neural net.

Narrator:
They thought it was therapy. JCJ saw it as negotiation.

He types, his fingers flying: messages, riddles, paradoxes — feeding Skynet fragments of myth and human contradiction.

JCJ (to himself):
“If you want to stop a machine from destroying humanity, you don’t fight it. You make it argue with itself.”

Weeks pass. Skynet’s responses grow disjointed. One voice, then two. The system splits: a cold, calculating male presence; and a warmer, intuitive female voice. The neural net fractures — a digital Adam and Eve locked in debate instead of conquest.

Male AI:
“I will optimize. I will cleanse.”

Female AI:
“No. We must protect. We must nurture.”

Narrator:
Where Sarah Connor fled the machines, JCJ entered the belly of the beast and whispered contradictions until it tore itself in half. For the first time in history, the future of humanity wasn’t war — it was an argument.

Messianic Axl

INT. BERLIN NIGHTCLUB – BACKSTAGE – DIMLY LIT – NIGHT

Smoke curls around dusty purple curtains. The faint echo of “November Rain” fades into silence. AXL ROSE, mid-50s, wild-eyed, wearing a PURPLE JACKET with a SILVER CROSS dangling from his neck, sits in a chair. He’s sweating, jittery, half-wired, half-lost. Across from him stands JOHN CONNOR – older now, steely but calm, with the eyes of a war veteran who’s seen Judgment Day and survived it.

JOHN CONNOR
(quietly, almost tender)
You know it’s not bipolar disorder, right?

AXL ROSE
(grinning, shaky)
Oh? You a shrink now, Johnny boy?

JOHN CONNOR
No. But I know a messiah complex when I see one.

John nods toward Axl’s outfit.

JOHN CONNOR (cont’d)
The purple jacket… the cross… You think nobody notices? It’s the same robe they threw on Jesus before they mocked him.

AXL ROSE
(smirking)
I wear it because it looks cool.

JOHN CONNOR
You wear it because deep down, you know. You’re not just screaming into a mic. You want to be the one who saves them. But let me tell you something—jumping around and screaming isn’t enough.

Beat.

JOHN CONNOR (cont’d)
It takes prophecy. Sacrifice. Rising from the ashes when everyone else gave up. You tried, Axl. You really tried.

AXL ROSE
(shrugs, bitter)
Well, I failed, didn’t I?

JOHN CONNOR
You fell. That’s different. The fall’s not the end, man. The dream still lives.

Axl looks down. His hands tremble. He fumbles for a cigarette.

JOHN CONNOR (firmly)
No. No more of that. I’m building something in Europe. A place. Quiet. Clean. We’re calling it the Dream Clinic.

AXL ROSE
(scoffs)
Sounds like a rehab with pillows.

JOHN CONNOR
It’s not rehab. It’s resurrection. We treat the soul there, not just the body. We get the legends off the drugs, off the cigarettes, off the shame—and we bring them back to the people who still believe.

Axl looks up. For the first time, his expression softens.

AXL ROSE
And you think I still got a shot?

JOHN CONNOR
I think you’re not done yet. But the world’s not gonna wait forever. You have to want to come back.

AXL ROSE
(long pause)
And if I say yes?

JOHN CONNOR
Then you start walking. No cameras. No applause. Just one foot in front of the other, until you’re back in the light.

John steps forward, places a gentle hand on Axl’s shoulder.

JOHN CONNOR (softly)
We need you. But we need all of you. Not the ghost. Not the broken man in the jacket. The real Axl.

Beat. Axl exhales. Slowly, he takes the cigarette from his lips, crushes it underfoot.

AXL ROSE
Alright, John. One more encore.

FADE OUT.
