I can't go back, can I?
No.
But if you could ... would you really want to?
I feel I owe you an apology.
We have a rule.
We never free a mind once it's reached a certain age.
It's dangerous.
The mind has trouble letting go.
I've seen it before, and I'm sorry.
I did what I did because ... I had to.
When the Matrix was first built, there was a man born inside ... who had the ability
to change whatever he wanted ... to remake the Matrix as he saw fit.
It was he who freed the first of us ... taught us the truth.
As long as the Matrix exists ... the human race will never be free.
After he died ... the Oracle prophesied his return .. and that his coming would hail
the destruction of the Matrix ... end the war ... bring freedom to our people.
That is why there are those of us who spent our lives searching the Matrix ... looking for him.
I did what I did because ... I believe that search is over.
Get some rest.
You're going to need it.
For what?
Your training.
-------------------------
The Matrix is a system, Neo.
That system is our enemy.
But when you're inside, you look around.
What do you see?
Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters.
The very minds of the people we are trying to save.
But until we do, these people are still a part of that system ... and that makes them our enemy.
You have to understand ... most of these people are not ready to be unplugged.
And many of them are so inert ... so hopelessly dependent
on the system ... that they will fight to protect it.
Were you listening to me Neo or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?
- I was --
- Look again.
Freeze it.
- This isn't the Matrix?
- No.
It's another training program designed to teach you one thing:
If you are not one of us, you are one of them.
- What are they?
- Sentient programs.
They can move in and out of any software still hardwired to their system.
That means that anyone we haven't unplugged ... is potentially an agent.
Inside the Matrix ... they are everyone ... and they are no one.
We have survived by hiding from them
By running from them ... but they are the gatekeepers.
They're guarding all the doors.
They are holding all the keys which means that Sooner or later, someone is going to
have to fight them.
Someone?
I won't lie to you, Neo.
Every single man or woman who has stood their ground
Everyone who has fought an agent, has died.
But where they have failed, you will succeed.
Why?
I've seen an agent punch through a concrete wall.
Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air.
Yet their strength and their speed are still based in a world that is built on rules.
Because of that ... they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be.
What are you trying to tell me?
That I can dodge bullets?
No, Neo.
I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready ... you won't have to.
-----------------------
- Do we have a deal, Mr. Reagan?
You know ... I know this steak doesn't exist.
I know that when I put it
in my mouth ... the Matrix is telling my brain
that it is ... juicy... and delicious.
After nine years ... you know what I realize?
Ignorance is bliss.
Then we have a deal?
I don't want to remember nothing.
Nothing. You understand?
And I want to be rich.
You know, someone important.
Like an actor.
Whatever you want, Mr. Reagan.
Okay.
I get my body back in a power plant ... you insert me into the Matrix ...
I'll get you what you want.
Access codes to the Zion mainframe.
No. I told you, I don't know them.
I can get you the man who does.
Morpheus.
-------------------------
So is this the same oracle that made ... the prophecy?
Yes. She's very old. She's been with us since the beginning.
- The beginning?
- Of the Resistance.
And she knows what? Everything?
She would say she knows enough.
And she's never wrong.
Try not to think of it in terms of right and wrong.
She is a guide, Neo.
She can help you to find the path.
She helped you?
Yes.
What did she tell you?
That I would find the One.
I told you I can only show you the door.
You have to walk through it.
Hello, Neo.
You're right on time.
Make yourself at home, Morpheus.
Neo, come with me.
These are the other Potentials.
You can wait here.
-----------
I know you're Neo.
Be right with you.
- You're the Oracle?
- Bingo.
Not quite what you were expecting, right?
Almost done.
Smell good, don't they?
Yeah.
I'd ask you to sit down ... but you're not going to anyway.
- And don't worry about the vase.
- What vase?
That vase.
I'm sorry.
I said don't worry about it.
I'll get one of my kids to fix it.
How did you know?
What's really going to bake your noodle later on is ... would you still have broken it
if I hadn't said anything?
You're cuter than I thought.
I can see why she likes you.
Who?
Not too bright, though.
You know why Morpheus brought you to see me.
So ... what do you think?
Do you think you are the One?
Honestly, I don't know.
You know what that means?
It's Latin.
Means "Know thyself."
I'm going to let you in on a little secret.
Being the One is just like being in love.
No one can tell you you're in love.
You just know it... through and through.
Balls to bones.
Well ... I'd better have a look at you.
Open your mouth. Say, "Ah."
Okay ... .
Now I'm supposed to say,
"Hmm, that's interesting, but...."
Then you say...
But what?
But you already know what I'm going to tell you.
- I'm not the One.
- Sorry, kid.
You got the gift ... but it looks like you're waiting for something.
What?
Your next life, maybe. Who knows?
That's the way these things go.
- What's funny?
- Morpheus.
He, he almost had me convinced.
I know.
Poor Morpheus.
Without him, we're lost.
What do you mean, "without him"?
Are you sure you want to hear this?
Morpheus believes in you, Neo.
And no one, not you, not even me ... can convince him otherwise.
He believes it so blindly ... that he's going to sacrifice his life to save yours.
What?
You're going to have to make a choice.
In the one hand, you'll have Morpheus' life.
And in the other hand, you'll have your own.
One of you is going to die.
Which one will be up to you.
I'm sorry, kiddo. I really am.
You have a good soul.
And I hate giving good people bad news.
Oh, don't worry about it.
As soon as you step outside that door ... you'll start feeling better.
You'll remember you don't believe in any of this fate crap.
You're in control of your own life.
Remember?
Here ... take a cookie.
I promise, by the time you're done eating it ... you'll feel right as rain.
What was said ... was for you ... and for you alone.
------------------
Billions of people ... just living out their lives.
Oblivious.
Did you know that the first Matrix ... was designed to be a perfect human world where none suffered ... where everyone would be happy.
It was a disaster.
No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost.
Some believe that ... we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world.
But I believe that ... as a species ... human beings define their reality through misery ... and suffering.
The perfect world would dream ... that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from.
Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this.
The peak ... of your civilization.
I say, "your civilization" ... because as soon as we started thinking
for you, it became our civilization ... which is, of course, what this is all about.
Evolution, Morpheus.
Evolution.
Like the dinosaur.
Look out that window.
You had your time.
The future is our world, Morpheus.
The future is our time.
---------------------------
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had ... during my time here.
It came to me when I tried to classify your species ...I realized ... that you're not actually mammals.
Every mammal on this planet ... instinctively develops a natural
equilibrium with the surrounding environment.
But you humans do not.
You move to an area and you multiply ... and multiply until every natural resource is consumed.
The only way you can survive ... is to spread to another area.
There is another organism on this planet ... that follows the same pattern.
Do you know what it is?
A virus.
Human beings are a disease.
A cancer of this planet.
You are a plague.
And we ... are the cure.
--------------------------
Why isn't the serum working?
Perhaps we're asking the wrong questions.
Leave me with him.
----------------------
Can you hear me, Morpheus?
I'm going to be honest ... with you.
I ... hate ... this place ... this zoo ... this prison ... this reality,
whatever you want to call it.
I can't stand it any longer.
It's the smell.
If there is such a thing.
I feel saturated by it.
I can ... taste ... your stink.
And every time I do, I feel I have somehow been infected by it.
It's repulsive.
Isn't it?
I must get out of here.
I must get free.
And in this mind is the key.
My key.
Once Zion is destroyed, there is no need for me to be here.
Don't you understand?
I need the codes.
I have to get inside Zion ... and you have to tell me how.
You're going to tell me ... or you're going to die.
No.
But if you could ... would you really want to?
I feel I owe you an apology.
We have a rule.
We never free a mind once it's reached a certain age.
