The Matrix: The Movie Special Page #3

are no longer born.

We are grown.

For the longest time,

I wouldn't believe it.

And then I saw the fields

with my own eyes...

...watched them liquefy the dead...

...so they could be fed intravenously

to the living.

And standing there,

facing the pure, horrifying precision...

...I came to realize

the obviousness of the truth.

What is the Matrix?

Control.

The Matrix is a computer-generated

dream world...

... built to keep us under control...

...in order to change a human being...

...into this.

No.

I don't believe it.

It's not possible.

I didn't say it would be easy, Neo.

I just said it would be the truth.

Stop!

Let me out!

Let me out! I want out!

-Easy, Neo. Easy.

-Get this thing out of me.

Get this thing out of me!

Don't touch me!

Stay away from me!

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it.

-He's gonna pop.

-Breathe, Neo. Just breathe.

I can't go back, can l?

No.

But if you could...

...would you really want to?

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...

...Iooking 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.

Morning. Did you sleep?

You will tonight.

I guarantee it.

I'm Tank. I'll be your operator.

-You don't have any--

-Holes? Nope.

Me and my brother, Dozer, are 1 00% pure,

old-fashioned, homegrown human.

Born free right here...

...in the real world.

Genuine child of Zion.

-Zion?

-lf the war was over tomorrow...

...Zion's where the party would be.

It's a city?

The last human city.

The only place we have left.

Where is it?

Deep underground...

...near the Earth's core,

where it's still warm.

You live long enough,

you might see it.

Goddamn! I gotta tell you, I'm excited

to see what you're capable of...

...if Morpheus is right and all.

We're not supposed to

talk about this, but...

...if you are...

...it's a very exciting time.

We got a lot to do.

We gotta get to it.

We're supposed to start

with these programs first.

That's major boring sh*t.

Let's do something more fun.

How about...

...combat training?

"Jujitsu"?

I'm going to learn jujitsu?

Holy sh*t!

"Hey, Mikey, I think he likes it. "

How about some more?

Hell, yes.

Hell, yeah.

How is he?

Ten hours straight.

He's a machine.

I know kung fu.

Show me.

This is a sparring program...

...similar to the programmed reality

of the Matrix.

It has the same basic rules.

Like gravity.

These rules are no different

than those of a computer system.

Some of them can be bent.

Others can be broken.

Understand?

Then hit me, if you can.

Good!

Adaptation.

Improvisation.

But your weakness...

...is not your technique.

Morpheus is fighting Neo.

How did I beat you?

You're too fast.

Do you believe that...

...my being stronger or faster...

...has anything to do

with my muscles in this place?

You think you're breathing air?

Again!

Jesus Christ, he's fast!

His neuro-kinetics

are way above normal.

What are you waiting for?

You're faster than this.

Don't think you are.

Know you are.

Come on! Stop trying to hit me,

and hit me!

I don't believe it.

I know what you're trying to do.

I'm trying to free your mind, Neo.

But I can only show you the door.

You have to walk through it.

Tank, load the jump program.

You have to let it all go, Neo.

Fear...

...doubt and disbelief.

Free your mind.

Okey-dokey.

Free my mind.

What if he makes it?

-No one's ever made their first jump.

-I know.

-But what if he does?

-He won't.

Come on.

All right.

No problem. Free my mind.

Free my mind. No problem. Right.

What does that mean?

It doesn't mean anything.

Everybody falls the first time.

Right, Trin?

-I thought it wasn't real.

-Your mind makes it real.

If you're killed in the Matrix...

...you die here?

The body cannot live without the mind.

I don't remember you ever

bringing me dinner.

There is something about him,

isn't there?

You're a believer now?

I keep wondering...

...if Morpheus is so sure,

why not take him to see the Oracle?

Morpheus will take him

when he's ready.

The Matrix is a system, Neo.

That system is our enemy.

But when you're inside,

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

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 or looking

at the woman in the red dress?

Look again.

Freeze it.

This isn't the Matrix?

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

and running from them...

...but they are the gatekeepers.

They're guarding all the doors

and holding all the keys.

Sooner or later, someone will

have to fight them.

Someone?

I won't lie to you, Neo.

Every single man or woman 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 speed are still

based in a world built on rules.

Because of that...

...they will never be as strong

or as fast as you can be.

What are you telling me?

That I can dodge bullets?

No, Neo.

I'm trying to tell you

that when you're ready...

...you won't have to.

We got trouble.

-Did Zion send the warning?

-No, another ship.

Sh*t.

-Squiddy's sweeping in quick.

-Squiddy?

A sentinel. A killing machine

designed for one thing.

Search and destroy.

Set her down there.

How are we doing, Tank?

Power off-line.

EMP armed...

-...and ready.

-EMP?

Electromagnetic pulse.

Disables any electrical system

in the blast radius.

It's the only weapon we have
