Decoded: The Making of 'The Matrix Reloaded' Page #2

---

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.

I'm recommending that you

be removed from duty.

That is, of course,

your prerogative, commander.

If it were up to me, you wouldn't set foot

on a ship for the rest of your life.

Then I am grateful that it is not up to you.

-Councillor Hamann.

-Commander.

-Captain.

-Councillor.

Council's asked me to speak tonight

at the temple gathering.

The presence of the fleet and the

persistence of rumors must be addressed.

The people must be told

what is happening.

Of course, councillor.

But might I advise a level of discretion

concerning specific details.

-We do not wish to start a panic.

-Quite right.

A panic is not what anyone wants.

What about you, captain?

What would you advise?

The truth. No one will panic,

because there is nothing to fear.

That army won't reach

the gates of Zion.

-What makes you so sure?

-Consider what we have seen, councillor.

Consider that in the past six months...

...we have freed more minds

than in six years.

This attack is an act of desperation.

I believe very soon the prophecy

will be fulfilled and this war will end.
