Secrets of the Building's Hidden Level
Keymaker
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. One door leads to the Source. This building is protected by a very secure system. Every alarm triggers the bomb.
Vector
Bomb? Did he say bomb?
Keymaker
But like all systems it has a weakness. The system is based on the rules of a building. One system built on another.
Morpheus
Electricity.
Keymaker
If one fails, so must the other.
Niobe
No electricity, no alarms.
Ghost
But you’d have to take out a whole city block to kill the power to a building like that.
Keymaker
Not one, 27.
Vector
27 blocks?
Keymaker
There is a power station. it must be destroyed.
Niobe
There must be some kind of failsafe.
Keymaker
Yes, there is an emergency system. The core network of the grid must be accessed. The emergency system must be deactivated.
Soren
Then what do you need us for? Neo could take ’em both out easier than we could.
Keymaker
There’s no time.
Niobe
Why?
Keymaker
Once the door is unprotected, the connection will be severed. But another connection must first be made.
Ghost
How long will that take?
Keymaker
Exactly 314 seconds.
Soren
Just over 5 minutes.
Keymaker
That is the length and breadth of the window. Only ] can open the door, and only during that window can the door be opened.
[[w:Neo (The Matrix)|The One]
Niobe
How do you know all this?
Keymaker
I know because I must know. It’s my purpose. It’s the reason I’m here. Same reason we’re all here.
Trinity
Neo, I know something’s wrong. You don’t have to tell me. I just want you to know that I’m here.
Keymaker
All must be done as one.
Link
Can’t hurt.
Keymaker
If one fails, all fail.
Morpheus
At midnight, there’s a shift change in the security of both buildings. At midnight, we will strike.
Guard 1
Hey! You count sheep at home.
Guard 2
Why, I get paid to count ’em here.
Jax
Okay, they’re inside.
Axel
How much time?
Jax
12 minutes.
Axel
Oh shit!
Morpheus
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. I believe this night holds for each and every one of us the very meaning of our lives.
Neo
I want to ask you to do something, but I don’t know how.
Trinity
I promise you, if I can, I will.
Neo
What if I asked you to stay out of this, no matter what. To stay out of the Matrix?
Trinity
Why?
Neo
Please.
Trinity
All right.
Morpheus
What is it, Niobe?
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.
Morpheus
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.
Axel
Incoming. Incoming! Incoming!
Morpheus
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?
Soren
Time?
Vector
3 minutes.
Binary
Almost there.
Keymaker
It is time.
Trinity
Find the others.
Link
Got Niobe right there, they’re already out of the station.
Trinity
What about Soren?
Link
There, they’re still inside, but…
Trinity
They’re not moving.
Morpheus
That’s it, let’s go.
Trinity
Call Neo now.
Link
Lost them. They’re inside the portal.
Trinity
What about the grid?
Link
Everything’s still operational. Emergency system’s already rerouting power. Jesus. As soon as they open that door, it’s all over.
Trinity
The hell it is.
Link
What are you… Trinity?
Trinity
I will not stand here and do nothing. I will not wait here to watch them die.
Link
Trinity, we’re talking less then 5 minutes here.
Trinity
In 5 minutes, I’ll tear that whole goddamn building down.
Neo
How much further?
Keymaker
Here, just here.
Smith
I’m sorry, this is a dead end.
Link
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.
[Trinity calls him]
Trinity
I’m in.
Link
Keep moving, 65th floor.
Smith
you look surprised to see me again, Mr. Anderson, that’s the difference between us. I’ve been expecting you.
Neo
What do you want, Smith?
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.
Morpheus
Would that include a bullet from this gun?
Smith
Go ahead, shoot. The best thing about being me – there’s so many me’s.
