At the end of the second movie Neo feels the sentinels and stops them just by his mind, then collapses.
At the beginning of the third movie he suddenly wakes up in the trainman's station
How did he reach there in the first place?
I'm sure it wasn't shown, which means it must have been explained in the dialogue. If it was, I probably missed it or didn't get it
Why and how exactly did he reach there? And why is it that the place Neo ends up in happens to be controlled by one of the villains of the movie which they recently had a fight with? Was that why Merovingian was constructed, so that he could create a place where the One could be stored after whatever process sent Neo there? That doesn't seem possible though, because Merovingian is apparently older than the concept of the anomaly.
So how did Neo reach there?
Answer
There is no dialog in the movie that directly explains Neo's condition. But here are some answer based on the movies.
- He wakes up at the trainman's station because his mind crosses over to the Matrix without being physically hooked up. The train station was a default gateway for any entity trying to cross over from The Matrix to the machine world(real world).
- Normally, a person jacked into the Matrix would have an outlet constructed by the hackers i.e. the pay phone. But in Neo's case, since his entry wasn't created by the hackers, they couldn't put an outlet for him. That is why he couldn't leave the Matrix by himself.
- Merovingian was trafficker of information flow within The Matrix. We see Ramachandra(Rama kandra) at the Merovingian's place even in Matrix Reloaded. He was there to seek a deal about Sati. This was in Matrix Reloaded, long before Neo got stuck at the train station. Hence it wasn't a sudden change & that wasn't why the Merovingian was created. He was a trafficker, and helped exiled programs settle in The Matrix. That means he always had control of the train station. You can see an excellent explanation here. Relevant excerpt(Emphasis mine):
As both the Oracle and Smith confirm, programs are not forced to be deleted. They can either choose deletion or exile, the same way people can choose to reject or accept the Matrix. This is because the Oracle's model of choice is what defines the operations that are most core to the running of the Prime Program.
Because the Merovingian was actually residing in the Matrix when the choice model was proven to work, the Merovingian and many other programs from version 0.9b (including the Trainman, Persephone, the Twins, vampires, etc.) were allowed to deny deletion. This created the necessity of a path by which exile programs can enter back into the Matrix from the Source to escape deletion, and that is the main purpose that Mobil Avenue serves. Presumably, it is also the path taken by programs to return to the Source, since it connects the Matrix to the Source.
Also,
The Trainman's original intended purpose was likely to maintain Mobil Ave. as a way for legitimate programs to travel to and from the Source and the Matrix.
