Shadow Script Part 15

IT sinks in. GREGORY is starting to believe.

SMITH

"We need you, because you're better than me. Now push past your abilities. You can turn you imagination into reality. See your hands striking me, see yourself overcoming me. Fight, boy!"

SMITH comes at him, and GREGORY responds. Their fists and kicks are a fast, then turn into a blur. GREGORY can't believe his own actions. SMITH misses a block, and GREGORY blows him backward with a chest punch.

SMITH, recovering, looks up. GREGORY looks around. CHANDRA is gone.

GREGORY

"Where is she?"

SMITH stands. From behind his back he produces a baseball sized glass ball. He tosses it to GREGORY.

SMITH

"Here."

GREGORY looks in the ball. It's a window to an apartment overlooking the city. Chandra is in bed, waking up.

SMITH

"She doesn't remember our encounter. She's fine. Don't worry."

THE BALL disappears.

SMITH puts his hand to his earpiece.

INT. OFFICE BUILDING

AGENT BROWN is staring down at the ground. ACROSS THE STREET, NEO is walking toward his building.

BROWN

"He's back."

EXT. FOREST GLADE

SMITH

"I'll be there. Execute the defense plan."

SMITH turns to GREGORY.

SMITH

"Come with me. But only watch. You're not ready to engage in a fight with the enemy."

GREGORY

"Why not?"

SMITH

"Because if you haven't defeated me yet, you won't defeat them."

SMITH snaps his fingers.

EXT. ROOFTOP

GREGORY finds himself alone on the top of the MAKARAO hotel, overlooking METACORTEX PLAZA.

EXT. STREET

The METACORTEX building stands across the street. NEO has been along this road a thousand times, but in another lifetime.

NEO raises one hand, palm pointed toward the building.

CUT TO: NEO'S POV: The building is a massive tower of glowing shimmering energy, no more real than a three-dimensional polygon.

EXT. BUILDING ROOFTOP

MORPHEUS and NIOBE stand atop a building a few blocks away, looking toward the Metacortex building.

ANGLE on NEO

HE FIXES his gaze on the building, then lowers his head and closes his eyes.

THE building tremors slightly, like a heat mirage. Slowly, it starts moving downward.

ANGLE ON: the first level. The exterior glass disappears, vaporizing in a million crystal shards that melt into the air, exposing the hive of office cubicles and corridors within.

The walls, desks and cubicles vaporize, leaving a few hundred people - office workers, security, maintenance men, standing with nothing between them.

The massive LOAD BEARING MEMBERS vaporize.

CUT TO: the bottom of the building. One can look straight through the entire building. WE go through the empty building, passing dazed people, until we pass out the other side, and come to NEO.

HE looks up. The office building is supported by nothing. Slowly, it descends on the stunned people. They rush, screaming, some laughing in hysteria, before the ceiling can come down on them. The last few flee just before the ceiling touches the ground. The second floor melts away just like the first.

EXT. BUILDING ROOFTOP

NIOBE and MORPHEUS stare on in amazement as the building collapses, floor by floor.

NIOBE

"He's doing it."

MORPHEUS

"I knew it."

EXT. STREET

CHOI and TRINITY look up in the air at the roof of the METACORTEX building, standing beyond a block of buildings. It sinks toward the ground as a flood of people come screaming around the corner.

CHOI

"It can't be this easy."

TRINITY

"It's not over yet."

MAN'S VOICE (O.S.)

"Not by a long shot."

CU: TRINITY'S FACE. SOMEONE plants the barrel of a silver Desert Eagle .45 against her temple. TRINITY whips her head backward as it fires. We drop into BULLET TIME as the flame and concussion blossoms in front of her face, ripping her sunglasses off as she drops backward, pulling a pair of MAC-10 Uzis from under her jacket.

THE MAN'S VOICE belongs to AGENT BROWN

CHOI turns, pulling a short weapon from under his coat. It's boxy, with a short barrel the size of a soda can. He plants it in the small of BROWN'S back and pulls the trigger.

A CONE OF FIRE burns straight through brown, blowing steam, flame, smoke, vertebrae, and viscera out a massive hole in his stomach.

CU on the weapon. It recoils on tension coils, discharging a shell the size of a 12-ounce soda can.

REAL TIME

What remains of BROWN flies forward. CHOI helps TRINITY up and the retreat into the building and take cover under a window. Through the window, we see military trucks, filled with troops, charging down the street, toward the Metacortex plaza. After the trucks come rumbling, black-painted M1A2 ABRAMS tanks. A black APACHE HELICOPTER flies over the convoy.

CHOI looks through the window as he reloads his hand cannon.

CHOI

"Holy fucking shit."

TRINITY

"We've stirred up the hornet's nest now."
