Ending / spoiler
Directed by: McG
Starring: Christian Bale, Helena Bonham Carter, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Moon Bloodgood
John Connor (Christian Bale) and Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) both break into Skynet Central. Connor goes to look for Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) and is able to get him out while Marcus learns the truth about himself. He learns that he is a terminator with human beliefs and his mission was to lure Connor into a trap. Marcus looks at a camera monitor and sees that a T800 is stalking Connor and trying to kill him. Marcus goes to help Connor and the fight ends with Connor getting impaled through his heart with a piece of metal and Marcus ripping off the T800's head. Kyle earns his spot in the Resistance and Katherine (Bryce Dallas Howard) tells Marcus, Kyle, and Blair (Moon Bloodgood) that Connor is dying. Marcus volunteers to give Connor a heart transplant so he can continue leading the Resistance to fight Skynet. Connor recovers and states that they have won the battle but the war is far from over.

Answer: Perhaps, but once the submarine captain learns that John Connor has just jumped off the helicopter, what is he supposed to do? Let John drown? John must have known the Captain would have little choice but to pick John up.
