Tails: What is that?
Int. Hotel
The crew climbs a staircase. Manic stops on a landing. A black cat shakes itself and walks away. Manic starts up the stairs and looks back. An identical cat walks away again.
Manic: Whoa. Deja Vu.
Shadow and Bunnie stops and stare at him.
Bunnie: What did you say?
Manic: Nothing. Just a little deja vu.
Bunnie: What did you see?
Nack: What happened?
Manic: A black cat went pass us...and then another that looked just like it.
Bunnie: How much like it? Was it the same cat?
Manic: Might've been. I'm not sure.
Shadow: Hershey, Trevor.

Now, Swat Troppers crash through a door. As their flashlights danced at the base of the stair well, the crew runs upstairs. Shadow strives through a window and opens a curtain to find another brickwall.
Nack: Ohhh...that's what they changed. We're trapped. There's no way out.
Shadow: Be calm. Give me your phone.

Dingo: Where are they?
Int.
Now, a swat trooper searches the bathroom.
Int. Wall
Nack: Shh.
Shadow and the others braced themselves wedged inside the wall behind the toilet and sink. In the bathroom, gaping hole leads into the narrow wall space. The trooper runs his flashlight above the hole, then turns to leave. Shadow signals for the crew to climb down. Manic grips a pipe and descends hand over hand. Bunnie presses her hands on one wall bracing back against the other. She inches one hand below the other easing herself down.

Nack: (coughs)
Int.
The trooper stalks closer to the wall and cocks his head staring at the tilt.
Int.
Nack: Ah-choo!
Int.
Swat Trooper: (heard it) They're in the walls.
He jumps back.
Int. Wall
Swat Trooper: They're in the wall!
Manic ducks as bullets pierces the plastic wall. He pulls out his gun returning fire as the trooper retreats in the hallway. The troopers face contorts and goes pale.
Trooper: Aaaaahhhh!
Then, he drops his gun as an agents hand grows out of his.
Int. Wall
Manic looks out through bullet holes. A hand smashes through the wall grabbing manic's throat.
Nack: It's an agent!
Shadow: Aaaahhhh!
Shadow dives out of the wall and pins Snively to the ground.
Bunnie: Shadow!
Shadow: Bunnie! You must get manic out! He's all that matters!
Manic: No! No, shadow, don't!
Shadow: Bunnie, go!
Bunnie: (to crew) Go!
Trevor, Hershey, and Nack slides down the wall. They land in the basement in a cloud of dust.
Manic: (to bunnie) We can't leave him!
Bunnie: We have to!

Now, swat troopers rush into the basement and fire into dust. Hershey and Trevor stands and return fire. Precisely gunning down the troopers. Bunnie opens a metal grate on the floor and the others dive through. Nack cowers.
Bunnie: (noticed) Nack! Come on!

Snively kicks Shadow to his feet, then knocks Shadow against the wall and throws a punch. Shadow dodges and Snively's hand smashes to a bricked window. Shadow backs into a corner then jumps up holding himself wedged against the wall. He kicks at Snively, but he grabs Shadow's foot and throws him across the wall. Shadow looks up from the floor. Blood dripping from his nose and mouth. Snively glares down at him then walks into the hall. Shadow struggles to stand.
Snively: Take him.
Swat Troopers ran through the door. Shadow hits one, then they beat him to the ground with clubs.

Tails spins away and Nack shoots again. Cyrus looks down at his monitor.
Cyrus: Tails...(looks at Nack) No!
He charges toward Nack, who fires.
Int.
Manic: I don't know. It just went dead.
Bunnie takes the phone from Manic and holds it to her ear. She slams the receiver down and dials her cell.
(Telephone Beeping)

(Ring)
Bunnie lies still. Her eyes closed.
(Ring)

Nack: (from phone) Hello, bunnie.
Bunnie: (on phone) Nack? Whe-uh's Tails?
Nack leans in close to Bunnie's body.
Nack: (sniffs, sighs, on headset) You know...for a long time...I thought I was in love with you.
Int.
Nack: (from phone) I used to dream about you.
Int.
Nack: (on phone) You're a beautiful woman, bunnie.
Int.
Nack: (from phone) Too bad things had to turn out this way.
Bunnie: (on phone) You killed them.
Trevor: What?
Hershey: Oh, god.
Int.
Nack: (on phone) I'm tired, bunnie. I'm tired of this war. I'm tired of the fighting. I'm tired of this ship. Being cold, of eating the same goddamn goop everyday. But most of all...
Int.
Nack: (from phone) I'm tired of that jagoff and all of his bullshit.
Int.
Nack jumps on Shadow's body.
Nack: Surprise, asshole! I bet you never saw this coming...did you? (paused) God, I wish I could be there...when they break ya. I wish I could walk in just when it happens...so right then...you'd know it was me.
Int.
Bunnie: (on phone) You gave them Shadow.
Nack: (from phone) He lied to us, Bunnie.
Int. Ship
Nack: (on phone) He tricked us. If you would've told us the truth, we would have told you to shove that red pill right up your ass.
Int. Matrix
Bunnie: (on phone) That is not true, Nack. He set us free.
Nack: (from phone) Free...
Int. Ship
Nack: (on phone) You call this free? (paused) All I do is what he tells me to do. (shakes head) If I had to choose between that and the matrix...I'd chose the matrix.
Int.
Bunnie: (on phone) The matrix isn't real.
Nack: (from phone) I disagree, Bunnie.
Int.
Nack: (on headset) I think the matrix can be more real than this world. All I do is just pull the plug here. But there...
Int.
Nack: (from phone) You get to watch trevor die. (looks at trevor)
Trevor: Bunnie.
Int.
Nack pulls the plug.
Int.
Hershey: No!
Trevor goes limbs and falls.
Nack: (from phone) Welcome to the real world, huh, baby?
Bunnie: (on phone) But you're out, Nack. You can't go back.
Int.
Nack: (on headset) Oh, no, that's what you think.
Int.
Nack: (from phone) They're gonna reinsert my body. I go back to sleep. And when I wake up, I won't remember a goddamn thing.
Int.
Nack: (on headset) By the way...if you have anything terribly important to say to hershey,
Int.
Nack: (from phone) I suggest you say it now.
Bunnie: (on phone) Oh, no, please don't.
Hershey: (shakes head in shame) Not like this. (looks at Bunnie) Not like this.
(Metal Clangs)
Hershey's eyes goes blank as she slumps to the ground.
Int.
Nack: (on phone) Too late.
Int.
Bunnie: (on phone) Goddamn you, Nack.
Int.
Nack: (on phone) Don't hate me, Bunnie. I'm just a messenger...and right now, I'm gonna prove it to you. If shadow was right...then there's no way I can pull this plug.
Int.
Nack: (from phone) I mean, if Manic's the one...then there'd have to be some kind of a miracle to stop me...
Int. Ship
Nack: (on headset) Right? I mean, how can he be the one...if he's dead?
Int.
Nack: (from phone) You never did answer me before...if you bought into Shadow's bullshit. Come on,
Int.
Nack: (on headset) All I want is a little yes or no. Look into his eyes...
Int.
Nack: (from phone) These big, pretty eyes.
Int. Ship
Nack: (on headset) And tell me...
Int.
Nack: (from phone) Yes or no.
Bunnie: (looks into Manic's eyes, on phone) Yes.
Nack: (from phone) No,
Int. Ship
Nack: (on headset) I don't believe it.
Tails: (grunts)
Tails holds up the gun.
Tails: Believe it or not, you piece of shit, you're still gonna burn.
He fires as a volt of electricity throws Nack back against the poles.
Tails: (spits)
Int. Matrix

Bunnie turns to look at the phone, but stands frozen still.
(Ring)
Manic picks up the receiver and holds it out to her.
Manic: You first.
Int. Ship
Bunnie: (gasps)
Bunnie opens her eyes. She looks at Tails who has a bloody wound in his thigh.
Bunnie: You're hurt.
Tails: I'll be alright.
Bunnie: (paused) Cyrus?
Tails looks down in shame. Bunnie leans forward and hugs him. Wrapping her arms around his neck.

Int.
Nack: (from phone) You never did answer me before...if you bought into Shadow's bullshit. Come on,
Int.
Nack: (on headset) All I want is a little yes or no. Look into his eyes...
Int.
Nack: (from phone) These big, pretty eyes.
Int. Ship
Nack: (on headset) And tell me...
Int.
Nack: (from phone) Yes or no.
Bunnie: (looks into Manic's eyes, on phone) Yes.
Nack: (from phone) No,
Int. Ship
Nack: (on headset) I don't believe it.
Tails: (grunts)
Tails holds up the gun.
Tails: Believe it or not, you piece of shit, you're still gonna burn.
He fires as a volt of electricity throws Nack back against the poles.
Tails: (spits)

(Telephone Rings)
Bunnie turns to look at the phone, but stands frozen still.
(Ring)
Manic picks up the receiver and holds it out to her.
Manic: You first.
Int. Ship
Bunnie: (gasps)
Bunnie opens her eyes. She looks at Tails who has a bloody wound in his thigh.
Bunnie: You're hurt.
Tails: I'll be alright.
Bunnie: (paused) Cyrus?
Tails looks down in shame. Bunnie leans forward and hugs him. Wrapping her arms around his neck.
