That's all John told Reese to do, but John knew
Reese was his father, so that's something else he had to do.

How did John know that Reese was his father?

Err, because his mother told him that his father was a soldier from
the future named Kyle Reese?

Sorry, I don't recall her telling John his fathers name in T2

And T2 was the only time they would have ever had to discuss things?

So, it's speculation on your part. You're acting like it's a know
fact. Maybe it is a known fact, that is why I'm asking.

Ah, no, sorry. I would call it a "logical inference" at best. As I
see it, they were very much trying to go with a "self-fulfilling
prophecy" motiff in the first Terminator film. I find the idea of it
being self-fulfilling through the actions of the characters to be more
satisfying from a literary standpoint than it being a matter of some
sort of mystical "fate".
