Mr. Anderson! Did you get my package?
Link Whoever it is, he's not greeting like an agent.
Our connection. I don't fully understand how it happened, perhaps some part of you imprinted onto me, something overwritten or copied- it is at this point irrelevant; what matters is that whatever happened, happened for a reason.
I killed you, Mr. 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, Mr. Anderson. Afterwards, 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, Mr. Anderson. Because of you, I'm no longer an agent of this system. Because of you, I've changed, I'm unplugged- a new man, so to speak. Like you, apparently free.
Thank you.[Smiles for a moment before continuing] ...But, as you well know, appearances can be deceiving which brings us 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.
S1 Smith 1
It is purpose that created us.
S2 Smith 2
Purpose that connects us.
S3 Smith 3
Purpose that pulls us.
S4 Smith 4
That guides us.
S5 Smith 5
That drives us.
S6 Smith 6
It is purpose that defines us.
S7 Smith 7
Purpose that binds us.
We're here because of you, Mr. Anderson. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us. [Plunges his hand into Neo's chest and attempts to copy himself over him] Purpose.
What happened back there, Link?
Link I can't figure it out, sir. Agents just came out of nowhere. Then the code got all weird, encryption I've never seen.
Link Okay? Shit Morpheus, you should've seen him!
Link [Persephone leads the three through a kitchen and comes up to door, closes it, turns a key, reopens it revealing a grandiose atrium] [Detecting change on screen]
Not again!
[she leads the three into a library with two goons watching The Brides of Dracula who immediately stand up startled]
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?
CA Cain and Abel
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? [She holds up the gun and shoots one goon in the head and his body falls back onto a couch] You can either run to the restaurant and tell my husband what I have done, or you can stay there and die. [Other goon runs off] He’s in the ladies’ room... [To Nebuchadnezzar crew] Hurry. [She opens a revolving bookcase door and she leads them into a dungeon, opening a door to The Keymaker's workroom]
Yes, I’m The Keymaker. I’ve been waiting for you.
S Seraph
You seek the Oracle.
S Seraph
I am Seraph. I can take you to her. But first, I must apologize.
S Seraph
For this. [He and Neo have a huge martial arts fight] Good. The Oracle has many enemies. I had to be sure.
S Seraph
That you are The One.
S Seraph
No. You do not truly know someone until you fight them. Come, she’s waiting.
Link Where the hell’d they go?
[Walking in a hallway with several doors on both sides]
These are back doors, aren’t they? Programmer access.
[Seraph nods]
How do they work?
S Seraph
The code is hidden in tumblers. One position opens a lock. Another position opens one of these doors.
S Seraph
I protect that which matters most. [He brings Neo to the Oracle who is sitting on a bench in a courtyard]
R Roland
Lock was right. He guessed that the machines would cut off the mainlines in and out of Zion. He thought a counterattack might surprise them. It sounded good. We figured we had a shot, until someone screwed it up.
C Colt
An EMP was triggered before we could get in position.
M Mauser
Five ships were instantly downed.
C Colt
When the machines broke through, it wasn’t a battle. It was a slaughter.
Link Was it an accident? Some sort of malfunction?
R Roland
Once the machines were done with us, they started digging again. We made a quick pass to look for survivors.
Link You found one?
R Roland
Only one.
