Sarah is on the phone, her hair still wet from a shower.
She sits on the bed with a towel wrapped around her.
SARAH
...No, Mom, I can't tell you where I am. I was told not to say.
SARAH'S MOM (V.O./filtered)
But honey, I need to know where I can reach you or I'll be worried sick. It turns out I can't stay up here...the electricity's off... and I don't know just where I'll be.
Sarah hesitates, then:
SARAH
Okay, here's the number. Are you ready?
SARAH'S MOM (V.O./filtered)
Go ahead.
205 INT. MOUNTAIN CABIN - NIGHT 205
SLOW PAN around the room as the conversation between Sarah and her Mom continues, completely VOICE OVER.
SARAH (V.O./filtered)
It's 408-555-1439. Room 14.
SARAH'S MOM (V.O.)
I've got it.
The PAN continues, revealing an overturned chair.
SARAH (V.O./filtered)
Okay, I've gotta go. I'm sorry I can't tell you very much now, Mom.
I love you.
The PAN comes to a table. Smashed plates. Spilled coffee.
A spatter of blood. A phone. It follows the phone cord onto Terminator in CLOSE-UP as he continues in a perfect simulation of her mother's voice...
TERMINATOR (Mother's voice)
I love you too, sweetheart.
206 INT. MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT 206
Sarah hangs up the phone, vaguely disturbed.
