Decoded: The Making of 'The Matrix Reloaded'

---

See you tomorrow.

Oh, my God!

I'm in.

We're almost there.

-Sir, are you sure about this?

-I told you, we're going to be all right.

I understand, sir. It's just that I'm scoping

some serious sentinel activity up here.

-Link.

-Yes, sir?

Given your situation, I can't say

I understand your reasons...

...for volunteering to operate

onboard my ship.

However, if you wish to continue to

do so, I must ask you to do one thing.

What's that, sir?

To trust me.

Yes, sir. I will, sir.

-I mean, I do, sir.

-I hope so.

Repatch the main AC to the hard drives

and stand by to broadcast.

Yes, sir.

Still can't sleep?

You wanna talk?

They're just dreams.

If you're afraid of something...

I just wish...

I wish I knew what I'm supposed to do.

That's all.

I just wish I knew.

She's gonna call. Don't worry.

Here you are.

-Are we ready to go?

-We're already late.

These geotherms confirm

the last transmission of the Osiris.

The machines are digging.

They're boring from the surface

down to Zion.

-Mother...

-They'll avoid the perimeter defense.

How fast are they moving?

Control estimates their descent

at 100 meters an hour.

-How deep are they?

-Almost 2000 meters.

-What about the scans from the Osiris?

-They can't be accurate.

-They may be.

-It's not possible.

That'd mean there are

a quarter-million sentinels.

-That's right.

-That can't be.

Why not?

A sentinel for every man,

woman and child in Zion.

That sounds exactly like

the thinking of a machine to me.

Morpheus, glad you could join us.

Niobe.

My apologies to all.

But as you are undoubtedly aware...

...it's become difficult to locate

a secure broadcast position.

-Squiddies got our best spots.

-Lines are crawling with them.

And if Niobe's right, in 72 hours

there's gonna be a quarter-million more.

What are we gonna do?

We're gonna do what

Commander Lock ordered.

We'll evacuate broadcast level

and return to Zion.

And does the commander have a plan

for stopping 250,000 sentinels?

A strategy is still being formulated.

I'm sure it is.

What do you think

we should do, Morpheus?

-We should proceed as ordered...

-What is it?

I don't know.

...however, I must ask one of you

for help.

Some of you believe as I believe, some

of you do not. Those of you that do...

...know we are nearing

the end of our struggle.

The prophecy will be fulfilled soon.

But before it can be...

...the Oracle must be consulted.

If we return and recharge now...

...we can be back in 36 hours, well

before the machines reach this depth.

Do you understand what you're asking?

I am asking that one ship

remain here in our place...

...in case the Oracle

should attempt to contact us.

Bullshit. You're asking one of us

to disobey a direct order.

That's right, I am. But we well know

that the reason most of us are here...

...is because of our affinity

for disobedience.

What happens when you

get back to Zion...

...and the commander

throws you in the stockade?

He won't.

Goddamn it, Morpheus,

you ain't never gonna change.

Sh*t, I'll do it just to see

what Deadbolt does to you.

You got 36 hours.

I'm looking for Neo.

-Never heard of him.

-I have something for him.

A gift.

You see, he set me free.

Fine, whatever. Now piss off.

-Who was that?

-How did you know someone was here?

He gave you this.

He said you set him free.

Is everything all right, sir?

The meeting is over.

Retreat to your exits.

-Agents are coming.

-Agents?

Go.

Hiya, fellas.

-It's him.

-The anomaly.

-Do we proceed?

-Yes.

-He is still...

-Only human.

Upgrades.

-That went as expected.

-Yes.

It's happening exactly as before.

Well, not exactly.

-What happened?

-I can't figure it out.

Agents just came out of nowhere.

Then the code got all weird.

Encryption I've never seen.

-Is Neo okay?

-Okay? Sh*t, you should've seen him.

Where is he now?

He's doing his Superman thing.

Where are you?

This is the Nebuchadnezzar,

requesting access through Gate Three.

Nebuchadnezzar, this is Zion Control.

Maintain present velocity and stand by.

Roger that, Control.

This is Control requesting immediate

stand-down of arms at Gate Three.

We have the Nebuchadnezzar

on approach. Let's open her up.

You are cleared through

Gate Three to Bay Seven.

Roger that, Control.

Door's open, bed's made.

Welcome home.

No place like it.

Roger that, Control. Zion Control,

stand by for Gate Three lockdown.

The Nebuchadnezzar is down.

Bay Seven.

Understood.

Captain Mifune.

Captain Morpheus.

Are you here to escort me

to the stockade, captain?

-I'm just here to keep the peace.

-Commander Lock demands...

Requests your immediate counsel, sir.

-Link.

-Sir?

I want the ship ready to go

as soon as possible.

Understood, sir.

-What is it between them?

-Morpheus and Lock?

-Niobe.

-Captain Niobe?

She used to be with Morpheus.

Now she's with Lock.

What happened?

Morpheus went to the Oracle.

After that, everything changed.

Yeah, she can do that.

Neo!

-Oh, no.

-How does he always know?

Doesn't he have anything better to do?

You know what they say

about the life you save.

I didn't save his life.

Hiya, Neo.

-Trinity, Link.

-Hey.

-It's great to have you back.

-Thanks. It's good to be back.

-Can I carry that for you?

-No, I can carry my own bag.

-Trinity?

-I'm fine.

-You can carry these.

-Yeah, sure, Link.

Hey, you know, next year

I'm old enough to join a crew, right?

I've been thinking about it,

and I've made my decision.

Let me guess.

I want to join the Nebuchadnezzar.

Morpheus hasn't filled the other

positions, except for you, Link.

I'm sure he has reasons...

...but the more I think about it,

the more I think it's meant to be.

You know, it's fate.

You're the reason I'm here, Neo.

I told you, you found me.

I didn't find you.

I know, but you got me out.

You saved me.

You saved yourself.

-Morpheus.

-Commander Lock.

I spoke to the other captains. I wanted to

offer you a chance to explain your actions.

I wasn't aware that my actions

required any explanation.

You were given an order

to return to Zion.

-I did.

-You asked for one ship to remain behind.

I would have stayed,

but I needed to recharge my ship.

So you admit to a direct contravention

of your duty.

We need a presence inside the Matrix

to await contact from the Oracle.

I don't want to hear that sh*t!

I don't care about oracles

or prophecies or messiahs!

I care about one thing: Stopping that army

from destroying this city.

To do that I need soldiers

to obey my orders.

With all due respect, commander,

there is only one way to save our city.

How?

-Neo.

-Goddamn it, Morpheus.

Not everyone believes what you believe.

My beliefs do not require them to.

There's a gathering tonight. Everyone's

talking. A lot of people are scared.

No one remembers the last time

so many ships were docked.

-Something big is happening, isn't it?

-Hey.

We're not allowed to say anything,

so stop asking.

Goddamn, it's good to be home.
