THE MATRIX
RELOADED
See you tomorrow.
Oh my God.
I'm in.
Almost there.
Sir, are you sure about this?
- I told you that we are going to be alright. - I understand sir,
it's just that... I'm scoping some serious sentinel activity up here.
Link.
Yes sir?
Given your situation, I can't say I fully understand your reasons
for volunteering to operate onboard my ship.
However, if you wish to continue to do so
I must ask you to do one thing.
What's that sir?
To trust me.
Yes sir, I will sir.
I mean, I do, sir.
I hope so.
Now re-patch the main AC to the hard drives and stand by to broadbast.
Yes sir.
Still can't sleep?
You wanna talk?
They're just dreams.
If you are afraid of something...
I just wish...
I wish I knew what I'm supposed to do.
That's all. I just wish I knew.
She's gonna call. Don't worry.
There you are.
Are we reade to go?
We're already late.
These geotherms confirm the last transmission of the Osiris.
The machines are digging.
They're boring from the surface, straight down to Zion.
Mother...
The'll avoid the entire perimeter defence.
- How fast are they moving? - Control estimates their descent at a hundred meters an hour.
- Shit. - How deep are they?
Almost two thousand meters.
- And what about the scans from the Osiris? - They can't be accurate.
- They may be. - What?
- It's not possible. - That'd mean that there are quarter million sentinels out there.
That's right.
- That can't be. - Why not?
A sentinel for each man, woman and child in Zion.
That sounds exactly like the thinking of a machine to me.
Morpheus, glad you could join us.
Niobe.
My apologies to all.
As you are undoubtedly aware it has been increasingly difficult to locate secure breadcast position.
- Squiddies got all our best spots. - Mainlines are crawling with them.
And if Niobe is right, in 72 hours there's gonne be a quarter of a million more.
- What are we going to do about it? - We are going to what the Commander Lock ordered us to do.
We will evacuate the transmission level and we will return to Zion.
And does the Commander have a plan for stopping 250,000 sentinels?
A strategy is still being formulated.
I am sure it is.
Are you finished Moprheus?
I think we should proceed as ordered, however... - What is it?
- I don't know.
...I must ask one of you for help.
Some of you believe, as I believe.
And some of you dont.
But those of you that do, know we are nearing the end of our struggle.
The prophecy will be been able to sum up.
but before it can be, the Oracle must be consulted.
If we return and we recharge now,
we will be able to be of return in 36 hours.
Well before the machines have reached this depth.
Do you understand what you're asking?
am asking that one ship remain here in our place
only just in case the Oracle he/she tries to contact us.
Lies. You are requesting that one of we disobey a direct order.
You are right, he am.
But we well know that the reason most of us are here
is because of our affinity for disobedience.
And what happens when you get back to Zion and the Commander throws you in the stockade?
He won't.
Goddamn it, Morpheus, you ain't never gonna change.
Shit, I'll do it, just to see what Deadbolt does to you.
You got 36 hours.
I'm looking for Neo.
Never heard of him.
I have something for him.
A gift.
You see, he set me free.
Fine, whatever. Now piss off.
Who was that? How did you know someone was here?
He gave you this.
He said you set him free.
Is everything all right, sir?
The meeting is over, retreat to your exits.
Agents are coming. - Agents?
Go.
Hiya, fellas.
- It is him. - The anomaly.
- Do we proceed? - Yes.
He is still...
...only human.
Hmm. Upgrades.
That went as expected. - Yes.
It's happening exactly as before.
Well, not exactly.
What happened back there, Link? I can't figure it out, sir. Agents just came out of nowhere.
And then the code got all weird. Encryption I've never seen.
Is Neo okay? Okay? Shit, Morpheus, you should have seen him.
Where is he now?
He's doing his Superman thing.
Where are you?
This is the Nebuchadnezzar on approach, requesting access to Gate 3.
Nebuchadnezzar, this is Zion Control. Maintain present velocity and stand by.
Roger that, Control.
This is Zion Control requesting immediate stand down of arms at Gate 3.
We have the Nebuchadnezzar on approach.
Let's open her up.
Nebuchadnezzar, you are clear through Gate 3 to Bay 7.
Roger that, Control.
Door's open, bed's made. Welcome home.
No place like it.
Zion Control, stand by for Gate 3 lockdown.
The Nebuchadnezzar is down. Bay 7.
Understood.
Captain Mifune.
Captain Morpheus.
Are you here to escort me to the stockade, Captain?
I'm just here to keep the peace.
Commander Lock demands...
...requests your immediate counsel, sir.
Link.
Sir?
I want the ship ready to go as soon as humanly possible.
Understood, sir.
What is it between them?
Morpheus and Lock? Niobe.
- The Captain Niobe?
She used to be with Morpheus.
Now she's with Lock.
What happened?
Morpheus went to the Oracle. After that everything changed.
Yeah, she can do that.
Neo!
- Oh, no. - How does he always know?
Doesn't he have anything better to do?
You know what they say about the life you save.
I didn't save his life.
Hiya, Neo!
Trinity, Link.
It's great to have you back!
Thanks. It's good to be back.
Can I carry that for you, Neo? No, I can carry my own bag.
- Trinity? - I am I'm fine.
You can carry these.
Yeah, sure, Link.
Hey, you know
next year I'm old enough to join a crew.
I've been thinking a lot about it and I've made my decision.
Let me guess.
I want to join the Nebuchadnezzar.
I know Morpheus hasn't filled the other crew positions except for you, Link.
I'm sure he has his reasons
but the more I think about it, the more I think it's meant to be.
You know, it's fate..
I mean, you're the reason I'm here, Neo.
I told you, Kid, 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've spoken to the other captains, and I wanted to offer
you the chance to explain your actions.
I wasn't aware that my actions required any explanation.
You were given a direct order to return to Zion.
I did. But 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.
Commander, we need a presence inside the Matrix to await contact from the Oracle.
I don't want to hear that shit!
I don't care about Oracles or prophecies or Messiahs.
I care about one thing: stopping that army from destroying this city
and 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. Goddamnit, 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 can remember the last time so many ships were docked.
Something's happening, isn't it? Something big?
Hey. We're not allowed to say anything, so stop asking.
Goddamn, it's good to be home.
I'm going to recommend to the Council that you be removed from duty.
That is, of course, your prerogative, Commander.
If it were up to me, Captain, 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 rumours 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 will never reach the gates of Zion.
What makes you so sure? Consider what we have seen, Councillor.
Consider that in the past 6 months we have freed more minds than in 6 years.
This attack is an act of desperation.
I believe very soon the prophecy will be fulfilled and this war will end.
I hope he/she is right Captain.
I do not believe it to be a matter of hope, Councillor.
It is simply a matter of time.
My stop.
See you soon, hopefully not too soon.
Let's go, Kid. These two got things to do.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? I am if you're thinking this elevator's too damn slow.
How long to recharge the Neb? 24, maybe 30 hours.
Some people go their entire lives without hearing news that good.
Neo, please. I have a son, Jacob, aboard the Gnosis.
Please, watch over him.
I'll try. I have a daughter on the Icarus.
No, wait.
It's all right. They need you.
I need you.
I know it.
There's time.
Where's my puss... Hey!
Uncle Link!
Oh my God, you're so huge
you should be picking me up!
- Not! - Yeah!
Okay? All right.
Now, we're gonna have to work together here, okay?
Yes.
One, two, three. Up!
Oh, my God! What are you feedin' these two?
Come on, kids! It's time to go.
Hey, Cas. Hey
Good to have you home, Link.
Good to be home.
You be careful with her, huh?
Don't worry about me, he's the one that's gonna get it.
Out the door! Both of you, march!
Bye! Bye!
I'm gonna get what?
Every ship out there has been home two, even three times more than the Nebuchadnezzar.
Come on, Zee! I thought we were past this!
We'll get past this when you start operating another ship.
I can't do that! Why?
You know why.
If Dozer knew how I felt, he wouldn't have asked you to do this.
Maybe.
But it's too late now.
made a promise, and some promises can't be unmade.
It's not fair. Nobody said it was gonna be.
You think Cas thinks it's fair that I'm here and Dozer's not?
I lost two brothers to that ship, Link.
Afraid of it.
Afraid it's gonna take you too.
It won't.
How can you say that to me?
Because of Morpheus, because of what he's told me.
He said that this is it.
That it will be over soon.
Link, Morpheus is crazy.
No doubt
but Tank and Dozer believed him, and I'll tell you what
soon after being on that ship and seeing Neo do the things he can do
I gotta say
I'm starting to believe him too.
Be careful, Link.
Please be careful.
They started yet?
Only Councillor Hamann's opening prayer.
Tonight, let us honour these men and women.
These are our soldiers, our warriors. These are our husbands and wives
our brothers and sisters,
our children.
Let us remember those that have been lost.
And let us give thanks for those that have been found
and who stand here beside us.
Now I would like someone else to close this prayer.
Someone who hasn't spoken here in a long time
but who I believe has something to say that we all need to hear.
I give you Morpheus.
Zion! Hear me!
It is true, what many of you have heard.
The machines have gathered an army, and as I speak
that army is drawing nearer to our home.
Believe me when I say we have a difficult time ahead of us.
But if we are to be prepared for it, we must first shed our fear of it!
I stand here before you now, truthfully unafraid.
Why?
Because I believe something you do not?
No!
I stand here without fear because I remember.
I remember that I am here not because of the path that lies before me...
but because of the path that lies behind me!
I remember that for 100 years we have fought these machines.
I remember that for 100 years they have send their armies to destroy us.
And after a century of war, I remember that which matters most.
We are still here!
Tonight!
Let us send a message to that army.
Tonight let us shake this cave!
Tonight.
Let us make that these tremble earth holes, steel and stone.
Let us be heard from red core to black sky.
Tonight, let us make them remember. This is Zion!
And we are not afraid!
I remember...
I remember that you used to dance.
I remember you were pretty good.
There are some things in this world, captain Niobe
that will never change.
Niobe.
Some things do change.
Excuse me.
I missed you.
I can tell.
I was thinking...
Everyone is here.
Follow me.
Neo...
what is it?
What's wrong?
It's okay, you can tell me.
Trinity.
Don't be afraid.
I can't lose you.
You're not gonna lose me.
You feel this?
I'm never letting go.
Good night Zion.
Sweet dreams.
You all right? I'll make it.
Did you see that Agent?
I've never seen anything like it.
Doesn't matter now. All that matters is this.
You first.
Oh God.
Smith will suffice.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Would it please you some company?
Councillor Hamann.
I don't want to intrude if you prefer to be alone.
No, I could probably use some company.
Good, so could I.
It's nice tonight.
Very calm.
Feels like everyone's sleeping very peacefully.
Not everyone.
I hate sleeping.
I never sleep more than a few hours.
I figure I slept the first 11 years of my life, now I'm making up for it.
What about you?
I just haven't been able to sleep much.
It's a good sign.
Of what?
That you are, in fact, still human.
Have you ever been to the enginering level?
I love to walk there at night
it's quite amazing.
Would you like to see it?
Sure.
Almost no one comes down here
unless, of course, there's a problem.
That's how it is with people
nobody cares how it works as long as it works.
I like it down here.
I like to be reminded this city survives because of these machines.
These machines are keeping us alive, while other machines are coming to kill us.
Interesting, isn't it?
Power to give life
and the power to end it.
We have the same power.
I suppose we do
but down here sometimes I think about all those people still plugged into the Matrix
and when I look at these machines, I.. I can't help thinking that in a way
we are plugged into them.
But we control these machines, they don't control us.
Of course not, how could they?
The idea's pure nonsense, but...
it does make one wonder just...
what is control?
If we wanted, we could shut these machines down.
Of course... that's it. You hit it! That's control, isn't it?
If we wanted, we could smash them to bits.
Although if we did, we'd have to consider what would happen to our lights
our heat, our air.
So we need machines and they need us.
Is that your point, Councillor?
No, no point.
Old men like me don't bother with making points.
There's no point.
Is that why there are no young men on the Council?
Good point.
Why don't you tell me what's on your mind, Councillor?
There are so many things in this world...
that I do not understand.
See that machine?
It has something to do with recycling our water supply.
I have absolutely no idea how it works.
But I do understand the reason for it to work.
I have absolutely no idea how you are able to do some of the things you do
but I believe there's a reason for that as well.
I only hope we understand that reason
before it's too late.
Ballard.
Is he here?
Neo...
It's from the Oracle.
It's time to go.
Morpheus said this is how it's gonna happen.
I don't know.
Maybe the prophecy is true.
maybe it's not.
All I know, is that ship needs an operator.
Right now that operator's me.
I know it.
Zee. I want you to wear it.
You know I don't believe in this stuff. But I do.
It's always brought me luck.
Maybe it'll bring me you.
I'm coming back.
I promise.
No matter what it takes, I'm coming home.
Just keep it with you
please?
For me.
Okay.
Neo!
Who the hell? Bane?
Is something wrong?
No, I'm fine.
I just wanted to catch you to say
...good luck.
Thanks.
We'll see you.
Neo!
Just in time.
You're gonna see the Oracle, aren't you? We don't have time.
I'm sorry, sir, I just have to give something to Neo.
A gift from one of the orphans.
He made me swear to get it to you before you left.
He said you'd understand.
Thanks.
I was just told you cleared the Nebuchadnezzar for takeoff.
That is correct.
Councillor, am I still in charge of our defense system?
Of course.
I believe I need every ship we have if we're going to survive this attack!
I understand that, Commander. Then why did you allow the Nebuchadnezzar to leave?
Because I believe our survival depends on more than how many ships we have.
Be careful.
Hello.
You seek the Oracle.
Who are you?
I am Seraph.
I can take you to her.
But first, I must apologize.
Apologize for what?
For this.
Good.
The Oracle has made enemies.
I had to be sure.
Of what? That you are The One.
You could've just asked.
No...
You do not truly know someone
until you fight them.
Come
she's waiting.
Where the hell'd they go?
These are back doors, aren't they?
Programmer access.
How do they work?
The code is hidden in tumblers.
One position opens a lock.
Another position opens one of these doors.
Are you a programmer?
Then what are you?
I protect that which matters most.
Well, come on.
I ain't gonna bite ya.
Come around here, and let me have a look at ya.
My goodness, look at you!
You turned out all right, didn't you?
How do you feel?
I, uh... I know you're not sleeping.
We'll get to that.
Why don't you come and have a sit this time?
Maybe I'll stand.
Well, suit yourself.
I felt like sitting.
I know.
So..
Let's get the obvious stuff out of the way.
You're not human, are you?
Well it's tough to get any more obvious than that.
If I had to guess
I'd say you're a program from the machine world.
So is he.
So far, so good.
But if that's true, that can mean you are a part of this system
another kind of control.
Keep going.
I suppose the most obvious question is:
How can I trust you?
Bingo!
It is a pickle, no doubt about it.
The bad news is there's no way if you can really know whether I'm here to help you or not.
So it's really up to you.
You just have to make up your own damn mind to either accept what I'm going to tell you, or reject it.
Candy?
D'you already know if I'm going to take it?
Wouldn't be much of an Oracle if I didn't.
But if you already know,
how can I make a choice?
Because you didn't come here to make the choice, you've already made it.
You're here to try to understand why you made it.
I thought you'd have figured that out by now.
Why are you here?
Same reason.
I love candy.
But why help us?
We're all here to do what we're all here to do.
ItI'm interested in one thing, Neo, the future.
And believe me, I know - the only way to get there is together.
Are there other programs like you?
Oh, well, not like me.
But... Look
see those birds?
At some point a program was written to govern them.
A program was written to watch over the trees,
nd the wind, the sunrise, and sunset.
There are programs running all over the place.
The ones doing their job, doing what they were meant to do, are invisible.
You'd never even know they were here.
But the other ones, well
we hear about them all the time.
I've never heard of them.
Of course you have.
Every time you've heard someone say they saw a ghost, or an angel.
Every story you've ever heard about vampires, werewolves, or aliens
itis the system assimilating some program that's doing something they're not supposed to be doing.
Programs hacking programs.
Why?
They have their reasons, but usually a program chooses exile when it faces deletion.
And why would a program be deleted?
Maybe it breaks down. Maybe a better program is created to replace it - happens all the time
and when it does
a program can either choose to hide here
or return to The Source.
The machine mainframe?
Yes.
Where you must go.
Where the path of The One ends.
You've seen it
in your dreams, haven't you?
The door made of light?
What happens when you go through the door?
I see Trinity.
And... something happens.
Something bad.
She starts to fall
and then I wake up.
Do you see her die?
No.
ou have the sight now, Neo.
You are looking at the world without time.
Then why can't I see what happens to her?
We can never see past the choices we don't understand.
Are you saying I have to choose whether Trinity lives or dies?
No.
You've already made the choice
now you have to understand it.
No.
I can't do that.
I won't.
You have to.
Why?
Because you're The One.
What if I can't?
What happens if I fail?
Then Zion will fall.
Our time is up.
Listen to me, Neo.
You can save Zion if you reach The Source
but to do that you will need the Keymaker.
The Keymaker?
Yes, he disappeared some time ago. We did not know what happened to him until now.
He's being held prisoner by a very dangerous program
one of the oldest of us.
He is called the Merovingian, and he will not let him go willingly.
What does he want?
What do all men with power want?
More power.
Be there
at that exact time, and you will have a chance.
We must go.
Seems like every time we meet
I've got nothing but bad news.
I'm sorry about that, I surely am.
But for what it's worth,
you've made a believer out of me.
Good luck, kiddo.
Mr. Anderson.
Did you get my package?
Yeah.
Well, good.
Smith.
Whoever it is, he's not reading like an agent.
Surprised to see me?
No.
Then you're aware of it.
Of what?
Our connection.
I don't fully understand how it happened.
Perhaps some part of you imprinted onto me
something overwritten or copied.
That is at this point irrelevant,
what matters is that whatever happened, happened for a reason.
And what reason is that?
I killed you, Mister Anderson, I watched you die...
With a certain satisfaction, I might add
and then something happened.
Something that I knew was impossible, but it happened anyway.
You destroyed me, Mister Anderson.
Afterward, I knew the rules, I understood what I was supposed to do but I didn't.
I couldn't. I was compelled to stay
compelled to disobey.
And now here I stand because of you, Mister Anderson, because of you...
I'm no longer an agent of the system
because of you I've changed - I'm unplugged
a new man, so to speak
like you, apparently free.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
But as you well know
appearances can be deceiving
which brings me back to the reason why we're here.
We're not here because we're free
we're here because we're not free.
There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose - because as we both know
without purpose
we would not exist.
It is purpose that created us
Purpose that connects us
Purpose that pulls us That guides us
That drives us It is purpose that defines
We're here because of you, Mister Anderson
we're here to take from you what you tried to take from us.
Purpose.
What's happening to him?
I don't know.
Yes, that's it, it'll be over soon.
You.
Yes, me.
Me, me, me.
Me too.
More.
It is inevitable.
Come on, get out of there.
Are you all right?
It was Smith.
Yes.
Now there's more than one of him.
A lot more. How's that possible?
I don't know
somehow he's found a way to copy himself.
Is that what he was doing to you?
I don't know what he was doing
but I know what it felt like. What?
Felt like I was back in that hallway.
Felt like dying.
The machines are tunnelling to avoid our defense system.
But I believe that they're going to intersect certain pipelines in order to control them.
These points of intersection are crucial
because I believe they're vulnerable to counterattack.
Although it has been suggested
that this is the same kind of attack we have defended for years
I urge the Council to realize the truth:
this is the single greatest threat we have ever faced.
And if we do not act accordingly, we will not survive.
Commander Lock, the Council is well aware of the seriousness of this attack.
You have our leave to prepare our defense by any and all means necessary.
Thank you, Councillor
However...
we ask if there's been word from the Nebuchadnezzar.
No, Councillor, no word - nothing.
Then we request a ship be dispatched to ascertain the fate of The One.
I wish that were possible, Councillor, but I do not believe our defense can suffer the loss of another ship.
It will, Commander, if it must. It could take a single ship days to find the Nebuchadnezzar.
Then send two.
This is insane.
Careful, Commander.
Forgive my frustration, Councillors.
I wish I were able to comprehend the Council's choice in this matter.
Comprehension is not a requisite of cooperation.
You're asking me to order two of my captains... There's no need for such an order
the Captains are present - they can answer for themselves.
The Council is calling for two volunteers to aid the Nebuchadnezzar.
Are there two among you that would answer such a call?
Captain Soren of the Vigilant will answer the Council's call.
You understand the situation, Captain Soren?
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, Captain.
Is there another?
Captain, I think we should volunteer. What?
You have gone crazy? Shut your hole, Bane,
before I put you in one.
Is there no other?
Be hard for any man to risk his life. Especially if he doesn't understand the reason.
Captain Niobe of the Logos will answer the Councillor's call
What? Thank you, Captain Niobe.
Commander Lock, you have your orders.
This Council is hereby adjourned.
Niobe, what are you doing?
What I can.
Why?
Because some things never change, Jason
and some things do.
What can you see, Neo?
It's strange, the code is somehow different.
- Encrypted? - Maybe.
Is that good for us or bad for us?
Well, it looks like every floor is wired with explosives.
Bad for us.
Here we go.
Yes? Can I help you?
Yes, we are here to speak with the Merovingian.
Of course, he has been expecting you.
Follow me.
Aha, here he is at last.
Neo, the One himself, right?
And the legendary Morpheus.
And Trinity of course, what beauty that makes me suffer.
I have heard so much, you honour me. Please, sit, join us.
This is my wife, Persephone.
Something to eat? Drink?
Hmm... of course, such things are contrivances like so much here.
For the sake of appearances.
No, thank you.
Yes, of course
who has time? Who has time?
But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?
Château Haut-Brion 1959, magnificent wine, I love French wine
like I love the French language.
I have sampled every language, French is my favourite - fantastic language
especially to curse with.
Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperies de connards d'enculés de ta mère.
You see, it's like wiping your arse with silk, I love it.
You know why we are here.
Hmph... I am a trafficker of information, I know everything I can.
The question is, do you know why you are here?
We are looking for the Keymaker.
Oh yes, it is true.
The Keymaker, of course.
But this is not a reason, this is not a `why.'
The Keymaker himself, his very nature, is means, it is not an end
and so, to look for him is to be looking for a means to do...
what?
You know the answer to that question.
But do you?
You think you do but you do not.
You are here because you were sent here,
you were told to come here and you obeyed.
It is, of course, the way of all things.
You see, there is only one constant,
one universal, it is the only real truth:
causality.
Action. Reaction.
Cause and effect.
Everything begins with choice.
No. Wrong.
Choice is an illusion, created between those with power,
and those without.
Look there
at that woman.
My God, just look at her.
Affecting everyone around her
so obvious, so bourgeois, so boring. But wait...Watch
you see, I have sent her dessert
A very special dessert.
I wrote it myself.
It starts so simply,
each line of the program
creating a new effect
just like
poetry.
First, a rush... heat... her heart flutters.
You can see it, Neo, yes?
She does not understand why - is it the wine? No.
What is it then, what is the reason?
And soon it does not matter, soon the why and the reason are gone
and all that matters is the feeling itself.
This is the nature of the universe.
We struggle against it, we fight to deny it
but it is of course pretense, it is a lie.
Beneath our poised appearance
the truth is we are completely
out of control.
Causality.
There is no escape from it
we are forever slaves to it.
Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it
to understand the `why.'
Why' is what separates us from them
you from me.
`Why' is the only real social power, without it you are powerless.
And this is how you come to me,
without `why,' without power.
Another link in the chain.
But fear not, since I have seen how good you are at following orders
I will tell you what to do next.
un back, and give the fortune teller this message:
Her time is almost up.
Now I have some real business to do, I will say adieu and goodbye.
This isn't over. Oh yes, it is.
The Keymaker is mine and I see no reason why I should give him up.
No reason at all.
Where are you going?
Please, ma chérie, I've told you, we are all victims of causality.
I drink too much wine, I must take a piss.
Cause and effect.
Au revoir.
Touch me, and that hand will never touch anything again.
Well, that didn't go so well.
Are you certain the Oracle didn't say anything else?
Yes.
Maybe we did something wrong.
Or didn't do something.
No, what happened happened and couldn't have happened any other way.
How do you know?
We are still alive.
If you want the Keymaker, follow me.
Get out!
I'm so sick of his bullshit. On and on,
pompous prick.
A long time ago, when we first came here
it was so different.
He was so different.
He was like you.
I'll give you what you want. But you have to give me something.
What?
A kiss.
Excuse me?
I want you to kiss me as if you were kissing her.
Why?
You love her. She loves you.
It's all over you both.
A long time ago, I knew what that felt like.
I want to remember it.
I want to sample it.
That's all
just a sample.
Why don't you sample this instead? Trinity.
Such emotion over something so small.
It's just a kiss.
Why should we trust you?
If I don't deliver you to the Keymaker, she can kill me.
All right.
But you have to make me believe I am her.
All right.
Terrible. Forget it.
Wait.
Okay.
Ahh, yes.
That's it.
I envy you.
But such a thing is not meant to last.
Come with me.
Not again!
It's all right, boys, they're with me.
These fellas work for my husband
they do his dirty work.
They're very good, very loyal. Aren't you, boys?
Yes, Mistress. They come from a much older version of the Matrix
but like so many back then, they caused more problems than they solved.
My husband saved them because they're notoriously difficult to terminate.
How many people keep silver bullets in their gun?
You can either run to the restaurant and tell my husband what I have done...
...or you can stay there and die.
He's in the ladies' room...
Quickly.
My name is Neo. Yes, I'm the Keymaker
I've been waiting for you.
Oh God, my God, Persephone how could you do this, you betrayed me!
Prostitute mother! Mierda! Mierda dog! Prostitute mother! Mierda!
Cause and effect, my love.
Does it cause? There is not cause for this, what does it cause?
What cause?
How about the lipstick you're still wearing?
Lipstick?
Lipstick? What craziness you are talking about woman
there is no lipstick.
She wasn't kissing your face, my love.
Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai, woman, this is nothing, c'est rien, c'est rien du tout. It's a game, it is only a game.
So is this. Have fun.
All right.
Let us find out where this goes.
You two, get the Keymaker.
That's a nice trick.
I cannot go back.
I'll handle them.
Handle us?
You'll handle us? You know, your predecessors had much more respect.
Okay, you have some skill.
Kill him.
You see, he's just a man.
Damn it, woman, you will be the end of me.
Mark my words, boy, and mark them well.
I have survived your predecessors, and I will survive you!
Where are you going? Another way
always another way.
Close it, quick.
Could we move along?
Step away from the door.
We owe you for that.
Just like new?
Drop your weapon.
Stay with him. What about Neo?
He can handle himself.
Get in the back.
Oh shit.
- Operator. Link, where am I?
You're not gonna believe this, but you're all the way up in the mountains.
Really. Yeah, it's gonna take me a while to get up an exit.
Oh shit.
What? Those Twin things are after Morpheus and Trinity
and I don't have a way to get them out.
Where are they?
Middle of the City, 500 miles due south.
Operator. Get us out of here, Link.
That won't be easy, sir. I know.
We're inside the core network. Yes sir.
The only exit I got near you is the Winsor overpass. Off the freeway?
Yes sir.
Fine, we'll make it. Sir, I think I should say... oh shit, look out behind you!
Incoming fire!
Down!
Hold on!
Oh no, this is getting real ugly real fast.
Are you watching this, Link?
Yes sir, there's an all-points on you, I make 8 units headed your way.
Any suggestions?
Turn right.
Right, now!
Now straight here, go through the next branch, you'll hit a connecting tunnel to the 101. Got it.
Sir, are you sure about this? The freeway, I mean. It's dangerous
in 14 years of operating, I've never seen... Link, what did I tell you?
Yes sir, I do, sir, Winsor overpass, I'll be ready for you.
Good man.
You always told me to stay off the freeway.
Yes, that's true.
You said it was suicide.
Then let us hope that I was wrong.
Operator. Link, it's Niobe.
We've been sent to bring you in. I need to talk to Morpheus.
Believe me, Niobe, he needs you. Where is he?
Just follow the sirens.
They're approaching...
We have them now. The exile is the primary target.
We are getting aggravated. Yes we are
Trinity!
Get him out of here.
Come on!
Morpheus. He's okay, keep moving.
Let's go.
I need a download to hotwire a motorcycle.
Not a problem, one crash course in motorcycle...
Wait. Cancel that.
You are handy.
Jump on.
She means nothing. Find the exile.
We have them. One Adam Twelve, please respond.
Get down.
Gotcha.
She's good.
You are no longer necessary..
We do only what we're meant to do.
hen you are meant for one more thing.
Deletion.
Go kick his ass.
Neo, if you're out there, I could use some help.
What is that?
Yes! Yes!
Sir.
We have confirmation from the Icarus.
The first two ships are in position for the counterattack.
Good.
Any change?
Looks like they hit some iron ore here, slowed them down a little.
How much? An hour, maybe.
That'd give them a little over 9 hours.
Yes sir.
There's a building.
Inside this building there's a level where no elevator can go
and no stair can reach.
This level is filled with doors.
These doors lead to many places, hidden places
but one door is special.
ne door leads to the Source.
This building is protected by a very secure system.
Every alarm triggers the bomb.
Bomb? Did he say bomb?
But like all systems it has a weakness.
The system is based on the rules of a building. One system built on another.
Electricity.
If one fails, so must the other.
No electricity, no alarms.
But you'd have to take out a whole city block to kill the power to a building like that.
Not one, 27.
27 blocks?
There is a power station.
it must be destroyed.
There must be some kind of failsafe.. Yes, there is an emergency system.
the emergency system must be deactivated.
Then what do you need us for? Neo could take 'em both out easier than we could.
There's no time.
Why?
Once the door is unprotected, the connection will be severed.
But another connection must first be made.
How long will that take? Exactly 314 seconds.
Just over 5 minutes. That is the length and breadth of the window.
Only The One can open the door
and only during that window can the door be opened.
How do you know all this?
I know because I must know.
It's my purpose.
It's the reason I'm here.
Same reason we're all here.
Neo, I know something's wrong.
You don't have to tell me.
I just want you to know that I'm here.
All must be done as one.
Can't hurt.
If one fails
...all fail.
At midnight, there's a shift change in the security of both buildings.
At midnight
...we will strike.
- Hey! You count sheep at home. - Why, I get paid to count 'em here.
Okay, they're inside.
How much time?
12 minutes.
Oh shit!
All of our lives we have fought this war.
Tonight I believe we can end it.
Tonight is not an accident.
There are no accidents.
We have not come here by chance. I do not believe in chance
when I see 3 objectives
3 captains, 3 ships.
I do not see coincidence
I see providence
I see purpose.
I believe it is our fate to be here.
It is our destiny.
believe this night holds for each and every one of us
...the very meaning of our lives.
I want to ask you to do something, but I don't know how.
I promise you, if I can, I will.
What if I asked you to stay out of this
no matter what.
To stay out of the matrix?
Why?
Please.
All right.
What is it, Niobe?
I can't help it, Morpheus, I can't help thinking - what if you're wrong.
What if all this - the prophecy, everything - is bullshit.
Then tomorrow we may all be dead
but how would that be different from any other day?
This is a war
And we are soldiers.
Death can come for us at any time
in any place.
Incoming. Incoming! Incoming!
Incoming!
Now consider the alternative. What if I am right?
What if the prophecy is true?
What if tomorrow the war could be over.
Isn't that worth fighting for?
Isn't that worth dying for?
Time. Three minutes.
Almost there.
It is time.
Find the others.
Got Niobe right there, they're already out of the station.
What about Soren?
There, they're still inside, but...
They're not moving.
That's it, let's go.
Call Neo now.
Lost them. They're inside the portal.
What about the grid?
Everything's still operational. Emergency system's already rerouting power.
Jesus. As soon as they open that door...
...it's all over.
The hell it is.
What are you... Trinity?
I will not stand here and do nothing. I will not wait here to watch them die.
Trinity, we're talking less then 5 minutes here.
In 5 minutes, I'll tear that whole goddamn building down.
How much further? Here, just here.
I'm sorry, this is a dead end.
It's gotta be the ugliest hack I have ever done.
That's as close as I can get ya. You better grow some wings.
Operator. I'm in.
Keep moving, 65th floor.
you look surprised to see me again, Mr. Anderson
that's the difference between us. I've been expecting you.
What do you want, Smith? Oh you haven't figured that out?
Still using all the muscles except the one that matters.
I want exactly what you want.
I want everything.
Would that include a bullet from this gun?
Go ahead, shoot. The best thing about being me
there's so many me.
Christ, what happened in here?
Hold it right there, little lady.
If you can't beat us, join us.
Morpheus!
ALLOWED ACCESS
Still no sight of them. I don't know what they're doing, but they only got 2 minutes left.
Control: to disable nodes of the electric net.
ERROR: IT FAILS OF THE SYSTEM OF EMERGENCY
One minute.
Come on.
Please.
Kill them.
They're in.
I don't believe it.
It was meant to be.
Morpheus.
That door will take you home.
You'll know which door.
Hurry, Neo.
Trinity, I got some serious activity headed your way.
Hello Neo.
Who are you?
I am the architect. I created the matrix.
I have been waiting for you.
You have many questions and although the process has altered your conscience,
you remain irrevocably human,
ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them not.
Concordantly while your first question may be the most pertinent,
you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.
Why am I here?
Your life is the sum of the remainder of an unbalanced equation
inherent to the programming of the Matrix.
You are the eventuality of an anomaly which despite my sincerest efforts
I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony
of mathematical precision.
While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected and thus it is not beyond a measure of control.
which has led you… inexorably… here.
You haven’t answered my question.
Quite right.
Interesting, that was quicker than the others.
Others? What Others? How many others?
The Matrix is older than you know.
I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next,
in which case this is the sixth version.
There are only two possible explanations.
Either no one told me..
..or no one knows.?
Precisely.
As you are undoubtedly gathering, the anomaly is systemic
creating fluctuations in even the most simplistic equations.
I’m going to fucking smash you…
Ill show you! you can’t make me do anything you fucking prick!
Choice…
the problem is choice.
The first Matrix I designed was quite naturally perfect. It was a work of art.
Flawless. Sublime.
A triumph equaled only by it’s monumental failure.
The inevitability of its doom is apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human being.
Thus, I redesigned it, based on your history
it to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of your nature.
However I was again frustrated by failure.
I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind
or perhaps a mind less bound by the parameters of perfection.
Thus, the answer was stumbled upon by another
an intuitive program..
..initially created to investigate certain aspects of the human psyche.
If I am the Father of the Matrix, She would undoubtedly be its Mother.
The Oracle.
Please.
As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly 99%
of all test subjects accepted the program as long as they were given a choice
even if they were only aware of the choice at a near unconscious level.
While this answer functioned, it was obviously fundamentally flawed
creating this way the systemic anomaly that otherwise it would be contradictory,
thus creating the otherwise contradictory, systemic anomaly that if left unchecked, might threaten the system itself.
Ergo, those that refuse the program, while a minority
unchecked would constitute an escalating probability of disaster.
This is about Zion.
You are here because Zion is about to be destroyed
It’s every living inhabitant terminated, its entire existence eradicated.
Bull Shit! Bull Shit!
Denial is the most predictable of all human responses
but rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it…
and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.
The function of “The One” is now to return to the source allowing a temporary dissemination
of the code you carry, re-inserting the prime program
After which, your will be required to select from the Matrix, 23 individuals: 16 female, 7 male, to rebuild Zion.
Failure to comply with this process would result in a cataclysmic system crash
killing everyone connected to the Matrix
which coupled with the extermination of Zion would ultimately result in the extinction of the entire human race.
You won’t let it happen. You can’t
You need human beings to survive.
There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept.
However the relevant issue is whether or not you are willing to accept
responsibility for the death of every human being in this world.
It is interesting to read your reactions.
Your five predecessors were by design based on a similar predication
a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species,
facilitating the function of “The One.”
While the others experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far more specific
vis-à-vis: love.
Trinity.
Apropos, she entered the Matrix to save your life at the cost of her own.
No.
Which brings us at last to the moment of truth
wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed and the anomaly revealed as both beginning and end.
There are two doors. The door on your right leads to the Source and the salvation of Zion.
The door to your left leads back to the Matrix, to her, and to the end of your species.
As so you adequately put: the problem is choice.
But we already know what you are going to do, don’t we?
Already I can see the chain reaction.
The chemical precursors that signal the onset of an emotion
designed specifically to overwhelm logic and reason.
An emotion that is already blinding you from the simple and obvious truth:
that she is going to die, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion
that is simultaneously the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness.
If I were you, I would hope that we do not meet again.
We won’t.
We got a serious situation, sir.
Oh, no.
What is that?
Whatever it is, it's moving faster than anything I've ever seen.
Shit, he caught her!
Neo, I had to. I know.
The bullet is still inside.
Trinity, don't you quit on me now.
I'm sorry.
Trinity.
I know you can hear me.
I'm not letting go. I can't.
...I love you too damn much.
I can't take this.
I guess that makes us even.
I don't understand it.
Everything was done as it was supposed to be done.
Once The One reaches the Source, the war should be over.
In 24 hours it will be.urs. What?
If we don't do something in 24 hours, Zion will be destroyed.
What? How do you know that?
I was told it would happen. By whom?
It doesn't matter.
I believed him. That's impossible, the prophecy tells us...
It was a lie, Morpheus. The prophecy was a lie.
The One was never meant to end anything.
It was all another system of control.
I don't believe that.
But you said it yourself
how can the prophecy be true if the war isn't over?
I'm sorry.
I know it isn't easy to hear, but..
I swear to you it's the truth.
What are we gonna do?
I don't know.
Oh no.
What are they doing?
They're just out of EMP range.
It is a bomb.
We have to get out of here. Now.
I have dreamed a dream
and now that dream has gone from me.
Here they come.
Let's go, Morpheus.
We won't make it. We have to try.
Come on. Something's different.
What?
I can feel them.
What happened?
I don't know.
It's the Hammer.
He's in some kind of coma
but his vitals are stable.
What about you?
I'm fine.
You could use some rest. No, I'm gonna stay with him.
Lock was right. He guessed that the machines would cut off the mainlines in and out of Zion.
He thought a counterattck might suprise them.
It sounded good, we figured we had a shot
until someone screwed it up.
An EMP was triggered before we could get in position.
5 ships were instantly down.
When the machines broke through, it wasn't a battle, it was a slaughter.
Was it an accident, some sort of malfunction?
No one knows. Someone does.
Who?
Once the machines were done with us, they started digging again.
We made a quick pass to look for survivors.
You found one?
Only one.
TO BE CONCLUDED
