Even if you somehow got inside, those are agents holding him. Three of them. Depends on the mind. But eventually, it'll crack... So the perfect world was a dream... Neo, Morpheus sacrificed himself so that we could get you out. I believe if you are serious about saving him, you will need my help. You moved like they do. I've never seen anyone move that fast. ...we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. ...then "real" is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain. ...and are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for. Me and my brother, Dozer, are 100% pure, old-fashioned, homegrown human. Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. ...they could destroy us. We can't let that happen. Never send a human to do a machine's job. Either you choose to be at your desk on time from this day forth... Goddamn! I gotta tell you, I'm excited to see what you're capable of... They can move in and out of any software still hardwired to their system. Morpheus believed something, and he was ready to give his life for it. A déjŕ vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix when they change something. It came to me when I tried to classify your species... I don't believe this is happening. Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? Ever have that feeling where you're not sure if you're awake or dreaming? The human body generates more bioelectricity than a 120-volt battery. ...when they break you. And every time I do, I fear that I have somehow been infected by it. As you can see, we've had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Anderson. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. You believe that you are special, that the rules do not apply to you. That is why there are those of us who spent our lives searching the Matrix... That's major boring shit. Let's do something more fun. It's another training program designed to teach you one thing Got one ready. Subway station, State and Balboa. It's like hacking a computer. All it takes is time. - Got it! I need the main wet-wall. ...if Morpheus is so sure, why not take him to see the Oracle? Morpheus did what he did because he believed I'm something I'm not. These rules are no different than those of a computer system. ...where we broadcast our pirate signal and hack into the Matrix. Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air. - We can't use that until he's out. - I know. Don't worry. I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life. ...but if you'd like to meet her, I can arrange a more personal milieu. Was it the same cat? ...was designed to be a perfect human world where none suffered... Your clothes are different. The plugs in your body are gone. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. I need a pilot program for a B-212 helicopter. And standing there, facing the pure, horrifying precision... I understand you've run through the agent training program. I didn't say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth. - I thought it wasn't real. - Your mind makes it real. - Where are we? - Their old service and waste systems. This is loco. They've got Morpheus in a military-controlled building. When the Matrix was first built, there was a man born inside... The ones you don't know Tank and his big brother, Dozer. ...combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins and minerals. - The Oracle hit me with that too. - No, you have to be. The leader of every ship is given codes to Zion's mainframe computer. You're cuter than I thought. Nearest exit, Franklin and Erie. An old TV repair shop. You give me that "juris-my-dick-tion" crap, you can cram it up your ass. It disrupts your carrier signals so we can pinpoint your location. They cut the hard line. It's a trap! Get out! Please remove any metallic items you're carrying. Keys, loose change. You know why Morpheus brought you to see me. Now I'm supposed to say, "Hmm, that's interesting, but..." We're supposed to start with these programs first. ...most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. It exists now only as part of a neural-interactive simulation... ...the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe... I don 't know if you're ready to see what I want to show you. We have no choice. Continue as planned. Deploy the sentinels. I go back to sleep. When I wake up, I won 't remember a thing. But what we know for certain is that in the early 21st century... ...we would've told you to shove that red pill up your ass! His neuro-kinetics are way above normal. I'd like to share a revelation that I've had... A singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines. The Trinity? That cracked the IRS D-base? The last human city. The only place we have left. There used to be cities that spanned hundreds of miles. Sooner or later, someone will have to fight them. Everything the Oracle told me has come true. Yet their strength and speed are still based in a world built on rules. ...but I'm afraid of what it could mean if I do. No one can tell you you're in love. You just know it... This is one of the top software companies in the world... Your appearance now is what we call "residual self-image." Were you listening to me or looking at the woman in the red dress? You can't scare me with this gestapo crap. - I brought you here to warn you. - Of what? There's nothing I can say that will explain it for you. Thus, if an employee has a problem, the company has a problem. I sent him to Franklin and Erie. - Got it. What do you mean, "without him"? Degreasing engines and killing brain cells. It is the mental projection of your digital self. - What's this? - It's necessary, Neo. For our protection. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead. I don 't know. If you don 't want to find out, get out of there. I hope the Oracle gave you some good news. You'll remember you don't believe in any of this fate crap. ...and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. But I believe you wish to do the right thing. A sentinel. A killing machine designed for one thing. ...without an energy source as abundant as the sun. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. The Oracle. We never free a mind once it's reached a certain age. - It's good to hear your voice. We need an exit. You get used to it. I don't even see the code. One is that scaffold. The other is in their custody. That the Matrix cannot tell you who you are. She can help you to find the path. Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends. It is only yourself. Disables any electrical system in the blast radius. The pill you took is part of a trace program. You take a chance either way. I leave it to you. ...of being cold, of eating the same goddamn goop every day. And then I'll show these people what you don 't want them to see. ... I'm tired of that jackoff and all of his bullshit. Believe it or not, you piece of shit, you're still going to burn! Something's wrong with the world. You don't know what, but it's there. ...because when we started thinking for you, it became our civilization... But there's way too much information to decode the Matrix. What if you were unable to wake from that dream? But where they have failed, you will succeed. You live long enough, you might see it. We marveled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to Al. When it does, he'll tell them anything they want to know. ...and that his coming would hail the destruction of the Matrix... ...in bringing a known terrorist to justice. Close your eyes, it feels like you're eating runny eggs. Every single man or woman who has fought an agent has died. - He's alive. We need an exit. - You're not far from Cypher. Once Zion is destroyed, there is no need for me to be here. Come on! ...because employees understand they are part of a whole. I don't remember you ever bringing me dinner. - That is not true, Cypher. He set us free. "Free." That means that anyone we haven't unplugged... ...that he's going to sacrifice his life to save yours. I've seen an agent punch through a concrete wall. Make yourself at home, Morpheus. Neo, come with me. They got to you first, but they've underestimated how important you are. I can't tell you exactly what year it is... ...how do the machines really know what Tastee Wheat tasted like? I'm going to be as forthcoming as I can be, Mr. Anderson. ...is to deny the very thing that makes us human. ...near the Earth's core, where it's still warm. - I hope you're right. - I don't have to hope. ...he told me I wasn't really looking for him... We have survived by hiding and running from them... Come on. All I want is a little yes or no. And I hate giving good people bad news. It's the only weapon we have against the machines. ...human beings define their reality through misery... - What happened? - I don't know. I lost him. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here. ...tired of fighting. I'm tired of this ship... That makes you wonder. Take chicken, for example. ...so they could be fed intravenously to the living. Sit back and enjoy your flight. Maybe they didn't know what to make it taste like... - Easy, Neo. Easy. - Get this thing out of me. None of them happened. All I do is pull the plug here. ...and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. ...but it looks like you're waiting for something. I told you I can only show you the door. Is everything in place? You weren't supposed to relieve me. It has the same basic rules. Like gravity. No, Lieutenant, your men are already dead. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I'll get one of my kids to fix it. ...instinctively develops an equilibrium with the surrounding environment. ...which is, of course, what this is all about. The Matrix is a computer-generated dream world... There was an accident. Goddamn car accident. Morpheus means more to me than he does to you. Try not to think of it in terms of right and wrong. How would you know the difference between the dream world... ...I thought I was in love with you. You have a social security number. You pay your taxes. You are the One, Neo. You may have spent the last few years... If you are not one of us, you are one of them. You have a problem with authority, Mr. Anderson. ...they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be. Yes. She's very old. She's been with us since the beginning. ...the Oracle prophesied his return... But until we do, these people are a part of that system... ...and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand... They're coming for you, and I don 't know what they're going to do. ...that I'd fall in love with that man. The man that I love would be the One. - But what if he does? - He won't. I think we can handle one little girl. Take the scaffold to the roof. Whatever you think you know about this man is irrelevant. Don 't be ridiculous. We're gonna kill him. You understand? You're my savior. My own personal Jesus Christ. The world as it was at the end of the 20th century. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes... ...and it was believed that they would be unable to survive... Morpheus, the line was traced. I don't know how. It just sounds like you need to unplug. - Did Zion send the warning? - No, another ship. I know. This never happened. You don't exist. Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill? The fire escape at the end of the alley, room 303. ...help your landlady carry out her garbage. Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. In the one hand, you'll have Morpheus' life. The image translators work for the construct program. She told me that I would have to make a choice. In one life, you're Thomas A. Anderson... ...if you have anything important to say to Switch... The time has come to make a choice, Mr. Anderson. ...program writer for a respectable software company. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage... Now these sewers are all that's left. There has to be something we can do. ...the "fasten seat belt" and "no smoking" signs are on. - What is this place? - More important than "what" is "when." ...would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything? So is this the same oracle that made... If an agent got the codes and got into Zion's mainframe... The woman in the red dress. I designed her. - How do you know this? We don 't have time. - How long? - Five, maybe six minutes. - Do you always look at it encoded? - Well, you have to. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees... The only way you can survive... Morpheus will take him when he's ready. We don't know who struck first, us or them. What do you think, Dujour? Should we take him with us? ...I believe that search is over. - Squiddy's sweeping in quick. - Squiddy? I understand that now. That's why I have to go. - What are they doing to him? - They're breaking into his mind. ...to remake the Matrix as he saw fit. ...where you go by the hacker alias "Neo"... There is another organism on this planet... If you're killed in the Matrix... They're guarding all the doors and holding all the keys. ...similar to the programmed reality of the Matrix. You move to an area and you multiply... - No one's ever made their first jump. - I know. ...born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. Ten hours straight. He's a machine. Billions of people... ...so hopelessly dependent on the system... The other life is lived in computers... - Zion? - If the war was over tomorrow... And then I saw the fields with my own eyes... There are fields, Neo, endless fields... ...the machines had found all the energy they would ever need. We're willing to wipe the slate clean... ...who had the ability to change whatever he wanted... ...why you live alone and why, night after night... - How do you know that name? - I know a lot about you. ...all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more. You get my body back in a power plant... No. I told you, I don't know them. That was you on my computer. ...which is why it tastes like everything. Your muscles atrophied. We're rebuilding them. ...has anything to do with my muscles in this place? I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. - Operator. I need an exit, fast. Maybe what I think Tastee Wheat tasted like actually tasted like... I believe I can bring him back. You can see it when you look out your window... ...if you don't like it, I believe you can go to hell. Sooner or later you'll realize, just as I did... These are the other Potentials. Do you? It doesn't matter what I believe. Jesus Christ! That thing's real?! Free my mind. No problem. Right. - Yes. Then go to the Adams Street bridge. It's the question that drives us, Neo. - Lock. I got him! - Now, Tank, now! I can get you the man who does. And over 25,000 BTUs of body heat. Somebody up there still likes me. That's different. ...this reality, whatever you want to call it. If I had to choose between that and the Matrix... ...because he's expecting to wake up. What's really going to bake your noodle later on is... - And don't worry about the vase. - What vase? Perhaps we're asking the wrong questions. Instead, only try to realize the truth. - What are they? - Sentient programs. Lieutenant, you were given specific orders. - How did you do that? - Do what? ...bring the ship up to broadcast depth. We know that you've been contacted by a certain... If you're talking about what you can feel... She told me this would happen. Not quite what you were expecting, right? ...built to keep us under control... - What did you see? - What happened? You're going to help us, Mr. Anderson... - I got a fibrillation. - Apoc, location. No, but technically, neither did you. We got a lot to do. We gotta get to it. You all look the same to me. - Freeze! Police! - Hands on your head! For the longest time, I wouldn't believe it. Tank, we'll need a signal soon. This is the main deck. ...you won't have to. They were dependent on solar power... Mr. Anderson... Did he tell you why he did it? You like him, don 't you? You like watching him. ...and you give me my phone call. - He's gonna pop. - Breathe, Neo. Just breathe. ...all of mankind was united in celebration. But unfortunately, you and I have run out of time. I'm sorry, I'm not. I'm just another guy. ...that they will fight to protect it. Unfortunately, no one can be... ...they'll sever the connection as soon as possible, unless... ...what you can smell, taste and see... - When? - You believe it's the year 1999... I bet you never saw this coming... You're in control of your own life. It means buckle your seat belt, Dorothy... ...there's no way I can pull this plug. ...watched them liquefy the dead... And I know that's not where you want to be. It's dangerous. The mind has trouble letting go. Right now we're inside a computer program? ... if you bought into Morpheus ' bullshit. A man who calls himself "Morpheus." ...the Matrix is telling my brain that it is... I promise, by the time you're done eating it... I did what I did because... Too bad things had to turn out this way. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. ...you sit at your computer. I know, because I was once looking for the same thing. We have the name of their next target. Being the One is just like being in love. ...can convince him otherwise. He knows more than you can imagine. Morpheus, you were more than a leader to us. Tastee Wheat. Did you ever eat Tastee Wheat? Do we have a deal, Mr. Reagan? I'd ask you to sit down... You must get Neo out! He's all that matters! But when you're inside, what do you see? I got an old exit. Wabash and Lake. - What's that? - You're bugged. Right now, all I can tell you... Ironically, this is not far from the truth. You can 't go back. - That's what you think. To your left there's a window. Go to it. Now, do you still want to meet? You think you're breathing air? When I tell you, go to the end of the row... Access codes to the Zion mainframe. ...is to spread to another area. There are two ways out of this building. ...when in fact, it's closer to 2199. Come on! Stop trying to hit me, and hit me! Are you sure this line is clean? You know what it reminds me of? ...I know this steak doesn't exist. Free my mind. It's an honor to meet you. Rest, Neo. The answers are coming. You look a little whiter than usual. We're not supposed to talk about this, but... Most of my crew you already know. What are you talking about? What is happening to me? Tank, load the jump program. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. There's a phone at Wells and Lake. ...believe that I am wasting my time with you. I'll let you in on a little secret. I'm nobody. I didn't do anything. They'll reinsert my body. The future is our world, Morpheus. ...can be more real than this world. - We can't leave him! - We have to! ... you have to watch Apoc die. ...or you choose to find another job. Did you know that the first Matrix... They're dead. In either case... The Oracle will you see now. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready... The Nebuchadnezzar. It's a hovercraft. I'm Tank. I'll be your operator. ...the human race will never be free. Pay no attention to these hypocrites, Neo. - You're gonna lose it. - No, I'm not. That guy took my phone! - What? - Your next life, maybe. Who knows? Yes, Mr. Rhineheart. Perfectly clear. Hello, Neo. Do you know who this is? There's no time. Get to another exit. I know, but I felt like taking a shift. No one has ever done anything like this. We can load anything, from clothing... - Right. - Something wrong, man? You know, I wrote that program. As soon as you step outside that door... You never did answer me before... Here you go, buddy. Breakfast of champions. It's the question that brought you here. I'm sorry, kiddo. I really am. I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. Be calm. Give me your phone. It doesn't have everything the body needs. This can't be just coincidence. But we know that it was us that scorched the sky. The cubicle across from you is empty. Yes. They're moving him. I don 't know where. You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear... Sure. I'll go. Then hit me, if you can. This line is tapped, so I must be brief. ...what good is a phone call... You wanted to know what the Matrix is? ...where human beings are no longer born. ... looking for me, but I've spent my entire life... That sounds like a really good deal. Let me tell you what I believe. It was he who freed the first of us... ...that right now you're feeling a bit like Alice... - You don't have any... - Holes? Nope. Help! Need a little help! The orders were for your protection. ...reinsert me into the Matrix... Whatever you want, Mr. Reagan. Find a structural drawing of this building. Find it fast. Where is it? Good. Now, outside there is a scaffold. I can't go back, can I? You've never used them before. No, I can't. I have work tomorrow. Switch, straight ahead. Which one will be up to you. This is your last chance. ...in order to change a human being... No problem. Free my mind. ...to be the most dangerous man alive. I know you're Neo. Time is always against us. Can you fly that thing? - But what if they... Go. Now. All I do is what he tells me to do. Just get me out of here fast. You're a believer now? Is it really so hard to believe? Because right now I'm thinking the same thing. Flat or pumps? No, just... Did you hear that? Hear what? - What did you think of her? - Of who? All the time. It's called mescaline. - What happened? - An agent. Morpheus believes he is the One. Welcome to the real world. Your hair has changed. Have you ever stood and stared at it? ...and you have to tell me how. ...some kind of a miracle to stop me. The body cannot live without the mind. What do you say to something like that? No way! No way! This is crazy! - Why? - Because you have been down there. ...because we honestly don't know. God, I wish I could be there... And many of them are so inert... Neo, I want to tell you something... I think they're trying to save him. - What's funny? - Morpheus. But I can only show you the door. ...my being stronger or faster... ...I'll get you what you want. - This can't be. - Be what? ...then another just like it. - Operator. Tank, it's me. ...that you're not actually mammals. That's what they changed. We're trapped. It's our loading program. ...say it now. - No, please don't. ...give you a fresh start. Right now, there's only one rule That was a long time ago. You run your ass off. You hear that, Mr. Anderson? Let me tell you why you're here. ...bring freedom to our people. Tell me, Mr. Anderson... Lie back. Lift up your shirt. I mean, how can he be the One if he's dead? EMP armed... ...I came to realize the obviousness of the truth. ...you'll start feeling better. As you no doubt have guessed... That I can dodge bullets? What truth? The Oracle told me... I want my phone call. Do you believe it now, Trinity? ... to the office at the end of the hall. ...because we need your help. What you know, you can't explain. - What? - You're going to have to make a choice. Get up, Trinity. Just get up. You did all this? Because you aren't going anywhere else. You felt it your entire life. So you're here to save the world. Targeting almost there. - Sorry. - It's okay. ...that follows the same pattern. Human beings are a disease. You've been living in a dream world, Neo. That system is our enemy. I say, "your civilization"... - What are you doing? - Going with you. I've seen it before, and I'm sorry. Do not try and bend the spoon. A black cat went past us... - I'm not the One. - Sorry, kid. They're coming for you. They're coming. - Who are you? - My name is Trinity. Do you believe in fate, Neo? I have these memories from my life. Morpheus, what's happened to me? I don't know. It just went dead. All we're asking in return is your cooperation... Without him, we're lost. You know, someone important. I don't want to remember nothing. The digital pimp hard at work. It's a single-celled protein... You can feel it when you go to work... How do you define "real"? ...but you're not going to anyway. ...it's a very exciting time. You're going to need it. Morpheus believes in you, Neo. I can't explain to you why it's not. ...if you're unable to speak? If they knew what I know... ...to blind you from the truth. Combined with a form of fusion... You scared the bejesus out of me. - What? - I'm not the One, Trinity. ...there's a difference between knowing the path... Every mammal on this planet... Leave me with him. - You're the Oracle? - Bingo. I feel saturated by it. We'll need a search running. Let me out! I want out! We have only bits and pieces of information. Or a bowl of snot. A world where anything is possible. If you had told us the truth... - And maybe they... - Shut up. I know that when I put it in my mouth... I know exactly what you mean. ...or when you turn on your television. I owe you an apology. And she's never wrong. He still needs a lot of work. But you already know what I'm going to tell you. Most guys do. After this, there is no turning back. This is the world that you know. You have to focus, Trinity. He believes it so blindly... I know what you're trying to do. Why is this happening to me? Going into replication. Listen, coppertop. You're a beautiful woman, Trinity. If Morpheus was right... I know kung fu. Please, come. Sit. And no one, not you, not even me... I can feel you now. Goodbye, Mr. Anderson. There is something about him, isn't there? Jesus Christ, he's fast! ...tumbling down the rabbit hole? I disagree, Trinity. My computer, it... ...where everyone would be happy. And in this mind is the key. I'm just doing my job. They're bringing her down now! Goodbye, Mr. Anderson. Hell, yes. We'll miss you always. ...you stay in Wonderland... You have to walk through it. ...that we call the Matrix. I'm going to enjoy watching you die... Like a splinter in your mind... Where we go from there... I know. They cut the hard line. Everyone, please observe... Okay, so what do you need? ...you know what I realize? I'm taking Neo to see her. That is the sound of inevitability. And in the other hand, you'll have your own. So can I ask you something? Oblivious. He almost had me convinced. It wasn't fast enough. - You gave them Morpheus. He lied to us, Trinity. It's good for two things ... you would probably be dead. We've done it, Trinity. - We have their position. - Sentinels are standing by. ...you'll feel right as rain. ...oatmeal or tuna fish. The Matrix is a system, Neo. It's the only way to fly. Please, Neo, you have to trust me. Don't hate me, Trinity. ...I'd better have a look at you. It has already begun. He is considered by many authorities... Switch, Apoc. What'd I do? They're on the eighth floor. ...taught us the truth. She would say she knows enough. You know exactly where it ends. But your weakness... Some of them can be bent. ... looking for you. As long as the Matrix exists... ...Zion's where the party would be. And right now, I'm going to prove it to you. I know why you hardly sleep... Ignorance is bliss. You're afraid of change. Everything the body needs. Morpheus is fighting Neo. I said, don't worry about it. This will feel a little weird. - The beginning? - Of the Resistance. ... those big, pretty eyes... - What are you doing? - I'm going in. Do you think you are the One? Find them and destroy them! - Still nothing. - It's cold. Have a nice day. Do you know what I'm talking about? I don't know the future. Power off-line. It is the sound of your death. Because you have to wonder... Marveled at its beauty... Means, "Know thyself." ...you'd know it was me. - You gave them Morpheus. He lied to us, Trinity. ...so right then... Even now, in this very room. Others can be broken. Hello, Trinity. Do you know what it is? Hey, Mikey, I think he likes it. The answer is out there, Neo. They're on the way. You call this free? Stay here for just a moment. You know what that means? Guns. Not too bright, though. The future is our time. Why isn't the serum working? We'll be back in an hour. I'm tired of this war... I'm tired, Trinity. - Why? - Because I believe in something. Please take a seat there. I used to eat there. One of you is going to die. It'll be fun. I promise. That's why it's going to work. Electromagnetic pulse. I think the Matrix... Yeah, of course I'm sure. You get caught using that... I'm going to learn jujitsu? To deny our own impulses... Open your mouth. Say, "Ah." But an oracle can? Welcome to "the desert... Is Morpheus alive, Tank? That's what it looks like, but it's not. You know something. I'm going to show them a world... Surprise, asshole! I won't lie to you, Neo. It doesn't mean anything. ...what you needed to hear. I know. It's her fault. You take the blue pill... That I would find the One. You're right on time. - Who is? - Please just listen. How did I beat you? Maybe they got it wrong. Born free right here... ...whether you want to or not. I sent two units! The little one behind you is Mouse. I'm not afraid anymore. You take the red pill... I know why you're here, Neo. I know my rights. I know that you're afraid. Look into his eyes... Don't worry about it. ...if Morpheus is right and all. ...just as I did. You could say that. Almost done. How did you do that? The Matrix isn't real. Smell good, don't they? Try to relax. ...but they are the gatekeepers. You have to see it for yourself. ...doubt and disbelief. I must get free. ...anything we need. The door on your left. Why do my eyes hurt? Try and relax. You first, Morpheus. ...driving you mad. Get some rest. We don't have time for 20 Questions. I'll hang up this phone. Get this thing out of me! ...you can't be dead. You're faster than this. If there is such a thing. What the shit? That's my phone! Dozer, when you're done... - From what? - From you. ...I choose the Matrix. After nine years... You can wait here. And I want to be rich.
