[Int. Dojo. Jue and Thaddeus are sword-fighting, blindfolded. They take turns slicing clothes off each other, and each peeks from under the blindfold once. An alarm sounds.]

Jue: What?

Thaddeus: Damn it!

[training program ends - as they walk to the cockpit, the name-plate of OSIRIS is visible]

Pilot: The readings aren't making any sense!

Jue: There are thousands of them!

Thaddeus: Directly above us.

Jue: Is that possible?

Pilot: We've got company. They don't have to see us.

Thaddeus: Get us out of here!

Pilot: We're cut off!

Thaddeus: There is an intersection ahead.

Pilot: It's uncharted.

Thaddeus: Take it! Get to the gun turrets!

[Crew members man the turrets]

Female Crew Member: All right... Come and get some! [shoots]

Pilot: Hang on!

[they burst through a pile of rubble and emerge topside]

Jue: I've never seen the surface. Thaddeus: There's nothing now but one big graveyard.

[we see a field crawling with sentinels - on the ground and in the air]

Thaddeus: Oh my God.

Jue: It's an army.

[the ship's computer displays a machine that looks like a giant spider with a conical protrusion pointing downward]

Pilot: What is that thing?

Jue: Some kind of tunneling machine.

Thaddeus: Oh no.

Jue: What?

Thaddeus: Look where we are. Four kilometres straight down...

Jue: Zion...

[a gaggle of squiddies comes after the Osiris]

Thaddeus: Go, go, go!

[Osiris turns around and heads back; firing its rear guns at the sentinels in pursuit]

Thaddeus: Zion, Zion has to be warned.

Jue: How?

Thaddeus: Someone has to get to a drop point.

Operator: What? Are you crazy? We can't broadcast now!

Thaddeus: We have to.

Jue: I'll go.

Thaddeus: There is not much time.

Jue: I'll make it.

[they proceed to the core]

Jue: You know, I peeked.

Thaddeus: So did I.

[they kiss]

Jue: Goodbye, Thaddeus.

Thaddeus: Goodbye, Jue.

[Jue is jacked in]

Thaddeus: Fly, baby, fly!

[Ext. Matrix: Jue jumps from a rooftop onto a fire escape, then another rooftop.]

[Ext. The Sewer: Hull breach at the Osiris; the sentinels are moving in for the kill.]

[Ext. Matrix: Jue free-falls to the ground ... *thud*]

[Ext. The Sewer: A female crew member is speared by a squiddie's tentacle; a male crew member gets killed. The Osiris crashes into the ground.]

[Ext. The Matrix: Jue is running toward a mailbox, where an old lady is standing.]

Jue: Pardon me.

Old Lady: I'm sorry. I was in my own little world. Is it important?

Jue: Very.

Old Lady: I hope it gets where it is supposed to go.

Jue: Me too.

Old Lady: These days you never know.

Jue: No, you never do. Good-bye.

Old Lady: Good-bye.

[Ext. The Sewer: Thaddeus is firing at the sentinels with a plasma rifle]

[Ext. The Matrix: Jue is on the phone, trying to reach the Osiris]

Jue: Thaddeus...

[Ext. The Sewer: The Osiris explodes.]

[Ext. The Matrix: Jue's phone drops, followed by her dead RSI; we see a momentary disturbance in the Matrix then we see the code. Fade to black.]
