Matrix Reloaded-Revolutions
Shadow Script Part 27

FROM here, in downtown, we can see the modern, uptown section, with its gleaming skyscrapers. METACORTEX still stands, illuminated by searchlights.

NEO sits and broods. Isolated, his world turned upside down and right-side out in less than a week, his mind and spirit are a blank.

Again, he tries his cell phone. Static. He collapses it and puts it. Just as it leaves his mind, it rings. The face flips open.

NEO puts it to his ear without speaking.

MORPHEUS (O.S.)

"Neo."

NEO'S grim expression is melted by relief.

NEO

"Morpheus! Holy shit! You won't believe what happened."

MORPHEUS

"I know."

NEO

"I couldn't do it. Morpheus, there's a problem."

INT. MAIN DECK - NIGHT

MORPHEUS has the headset on. He stands and surveys NEO.

MORPHEUS

"Yes, there is a problem. The Matrix exists."

EXT. BURNT-OUT CATHEDRAL (MATRIX) - NIGHT

NEO'S relief fades into confusion.

NEO

"I know. I'm sorry."

MORPHEUS (O.S.)

"And the problem is…"

NEO

"Uh, it's impossible. If the Matrix is destroyed, the people within the system will die. They will all die. There has to be a different way."

MORPHEUS doesn't respond.

NEO

"Morpheus? Did you know this?"

We hear nothing. NEO can hear his own heart beating. Anger and confusion add to the already heavy mental burden he carries.

MORPHEUS (O.S.)

"I didn't say things would be easy, Neo."

NEO sinks to the ground, shocked. He shakes his head.

NEO

"No."

INT. MAIN DECK - NIGHT

MORPHEUS isn't happy about what he has to tell his protégé, but there is no bending his will. The others look on soberly.

MORPHEUS

"Neo, the Matrix… it's not real. And it's up to you to end it."

EXT. BURNT-OUT CATHEDRAL (MATRIX) - NIGHT

NEO can't stand the reality of the situation. He's coming apart.

NEO

"No, Morpheus, this can't be! We can't do this! We have to get the people out."

MORPHEUS (O.S.)

"Even if we could somehow get to them without cutting through their defenses, there's no way we can rehabilitate billions of people. They wouldn't even want to be woken up."

Neo is silent.

MORPHEUS (O.S.)

"You can do it. You can free us."

NEO

"Why me? Why the fuck do I have to do this?"

MORPHEUS is silent for a long while.

INT. MAIN DECK - NIGHT

Everyone is watching Morpheus, and no one can quite believe what is happening.

MORPHEUS

"You know what needs to be done. Time is short. Make up your mind. The only way you're getting out of the Matrix is through its destruction."

Morpheus kills the connection.

EXT. BURNT-OUT CATHEDRAL (MATRIX) - NIGHT

Neo hears the line click dead. He can't believe what has happened.

INT. MAIN DECK - NIGHT

MORPHEUS drops the headset on the operations console. He types a few commands on the keyboard, then addresses the crew.

MORPHEUS


"No one goes in. He's on his own."

He leaves the main deck.

Trinity stares at Neo for a moment, her face fighting for composure. No one looks at her. She walks away, then leans against the bulkhead, her body shaking.

EXT. BURNT-OUT CATHEDRAL (MATRIX) - NIGHT

Neo closes the cell phone. He reaches to tuck it away, then pauses, looking at it. He drops it to the ground and walks on.

He stands out on a finger of crumbling church, the night air all around him. The city lights are alive below. He focuses on the Metacortex building. Leaving him there, we rush to it until we dive into the dark shadows of the very building, going microscopically close, until the darkness gives way to the glowing green miasma of quantum code. It fills the screen before we bust through into darkness again.

TO BE CONTINUED…

 

So it says in the script... But as far as I can see, there is no 'continued'. The Wachowski brothers have used this script as the basis for Reloaded and Revolutions. So this is as far as the Matrix movies will take us.
