Oh so it was not the same one. And it's organism by the way. But when Sarah Connor told him that she will kill him, was it the good Terminator or the bad one?

Thanks for the spelling correction.

In this film, who is the "good" terminator and the "bad" terminator regarding the T-800? It's the same terminator; however, it's not the same T-800 from T-2.

** SPOILERS **
The Terminator (1984): T-800 A is sent into the past by Skynet to kill Sarah Conner to prevent the birth of John Conner. T-800 A is (mostly) destroyed at the end.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991): T-800 B is sent into the past by John Conner to protect young John Conner from the T-1000. T-800 B is destroyed at the end.
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019): T-800 C is sent into the past by Skynet to kill John Conner at a later time in his life (after the events of T-2). T-800 C succeeds in killing John Conner.

Makes sense. What about the T-800 in the 3rd one.
