Cypher： Yeah。
Trinity： Is everything in place？
Cypher： You weren’’t supposed to relieve me。
Trinity： I know， but I felt like taking your shift。
Cypher： You like him， don’’t you？ You like watching him。
Trinity： Don’’t be ridiculous。
Cypher： We’’re going to kill him， do you understand that？
Trinity： Morpheus believes he is The One。
Cypher： Do you？
Trinity： It doesn’’t matter what I believe。
Cypher： You don’’t， do you？
Trinity： Did you hear that？
Cypher： Hear what？
Trinity： Are you sure this line is clean？
Cypher： Yeah， ’’course I’’m sure。
Trinity： I’’d better go。
She hangs up as we pass through the numbers on the screen， and outside the room she is in， as several police
officers advance towards the door with flashlights and guns。 One kicks open the door。
（Hotel room）
Cop： Freeze， Police。 Hands on your head。 Do it。 Do it now。
Trinity： *slowly puts her hands on her head*
（Outside hotel）
A black car with tinted windows pulls up beside the other police cars。 Agent Smith and Agent Brown get out of the car，
wearing dark suits and sunglasses。
Agent Smith： Lieutenant……
Lieutenant： Oh shit……
Agent Smith： You were given _specific_ orders……
Lieutenant： Hey， I’’m just doing my job。 You give me that juris-my-dick-tion crap， you can cram it up your ass。
Agent Smith： The orders……were for your protection。
Lieutenant： *laughs* I think we can handle one little girl……I sent two units……they’’re brining her down now。
Lieutenant： No Lieutenant， your men are already dead……
（Hotel Room）
Cop holds handcuffs， ready to put them on Trinity， who is standing with her back to him， and her hands on her head。
Suddenly she spins round， kicks him onto the ground， grabs his gun， and beats up the rest of them。
She picks up the phone sitting on the desk。
Trinity： Morpheus! The line was traced， I don’’t know how。
Morpheus： I know， they cut the hard line。 There’’s no time， you’’re going to have to get to another exit。
Trinity： Are there any agents？
Morpheus： Yes
Trinity： Goddamnit。
Morpheus： You have to focus， Trinity。 There’’s a phone at Wells and Lake。 You can make it。
Trinity： *sigh* All right。
Morpheus： Go!
Trinity drops the phone and bursts out of the room， just as Agent Brown enters the hall， leading another unit of police。
Trinity races to the opposite end， exiting through a broken window onto the fire escape。 She looks down， and sees Agent Smith below，
staring at her。 She goes upwards， onto the roof。 On the roof，
Trinity is running as Agent Brown arrives after her， leading the group of cops in pursuit。
Trinity begins to jump from one roof to the other， in one fluid motion， in comparison to the wild jumps of the cops。
Agent Brown， however， has the same unnatural grace。 They reach a huge gap between two buildings， which Trinity jumps with no problem。
（Rooftop）
Cop： That’’s impossible!
They stare as Agent Smith duplicates the move exactly， following her onto the next roof。 She hides behind a chimney， as he looks around the rooftop， searching for her。 Not far off， she sees a window， and makes a dash for it。 She dives through the window， rolls down the stairs inside， and manages to land without much damage。
Trinity： Get up Trinity。 Just get up。 Get up!
（Street）
Trinity emerges from an alleyway， and at the end of the block， she sees a telephone booth。 As she watches， the phone begins to ring。 As it rings， a truck pulls up in front of it， it’’s headlights pointing towards the phone。 Trinity suddenly runs for the phone box， racing the truck as it almost manages to crush the phone booth， just as she answers the phone。 She puts her hand out to the glass of the booth， just as the truck hits it。 In a few moments， we see the remains of the phone box。 Agent Smith inspects the wreckage。 There is no body。
Agent Brown： She got out。
Agent Smith： It doesn’’t matter。
Agent Jones： The informant is real。
Agent Smith： Yes……
Agent Jones： We have the name of their next target。。
Agent Brown： The name is Neo……
Agent Smith： We’’ll need a search running。。
Agent Jones： It has already begun。
We are zoomed in towards the mouthpiece of the phone on the ground， closer， until we appear to travel down it and through the cable。 We appear in Neo’’s apartment。 He is asleep at his computer， with headphones on。 On his computer screen， we see he is running a search on a man named Morpheus。 Suddenly on his computer screen appear the words ’’Wake up， Neo。’’ He sits up， and stares at his computer screen
Neo： What？
On the computer， now appears ’’The Matrix has you……’’
Neo： What the hell？
On the computer， now appears ’’Follow the white rabbit……’’
Neo： Follow the white rabbit？
He presses the ’’esc’’ key repeatedly， no effect。 the computer comes up with one last message： ’’Knock knock， Neo。’’ There is a loud knock at his door， and he jumps。 He stares at the door， and then back at his computer screen。 it’’s now blank。
Neo： ……。。Who is it？
Choi： It’’s Choi。
Neo： Yeah……yeah……you’’re two hours late。
Choi： I know， it’’s her fault。
Choi gestures towards DuJour
Neo： You got the money？
Choi： Two grand。
Neo：Hold on。
Neo goes into his apartment， shuts the door， and opens a book， takes out a CD rom， and goes back to the door， handing the CD to Choi
Choi： Hallelujah。 You’’re my saviour， man。 My own personal Jesus Christ。
Neo：You get caught using that……
Choi： Yeah， I know。 This never happened， you don’’t exist。
Neo： Right。
Choi： Something wrong， man？ You look a little whiter than usual。
Neo： My computer……。it。。you ever have that feeling where you don’’t know if you’’re awake or still dreaming？
Choi： Mm， all the time。 It’’s called Mescaline。 It’’s the only way to fly。 Hey， it sounds to me like you need to unplug， man。
You know， get some R and R。 What do you think DuJour？ Should we take him with us？
DuJour： *looks Neo up and down* Definitely。
Neo： No， I can’’t， I got work tomorrow。
DuJour： Come on， it’’ll be fun。 *looks Neo up and down again* I promise。
Neo notices DuJour has a tattoo of a white rabbit on her shoulder。
Neo： Yeah， sure， I’’ll go。
Neo， Choi and DuJour arrive in a club。 Neo is standing next to a wall， doing nothing。 A woman walks up to him。 The woman is Trinity。
Trinity： Hello Neo。
Neo： How do you know that name？
Trinity： I know a lot about you。
Neo：Who are you？
Trinity： My name is Trinity。
Neo： Trinity……_The_ Trinity？ The one the cracked the IRS d-base？
Trinity： That was a long time ago。
Neo： Jesus!
Trinity： What？
Neo： I just thought， um……you were a guy。
Trinity： Most guys do。
Neo： That was you on my computer。 How did you do that？
Trinity： Never mind， right now all I can tell you is that you’’re in danger。 I brought you here to warn you。
Neo： What about？
Trinity： They’’re watching you， Neo。
Neo： Who is？
Trinity： Please， just listen。 I know why you’’re here， Neo。 I know what you’’ve been doing。 I know why you hardly sleep， and why night after night you sit at your computer。 You’’re looking for him。 I know， because I was once looking for the same thing。 And when he found me， he told me I wasn’’t really looking for him， I was looking for an answer。 It’’s the
question that drives us， Neo。 It’’s the question that brought you here。 You know the question， just as I did……
Neo： What is the Matrix？
Trinity： The answer is out there， Neo。 It’’s looking for you……and it will find you……if you want it to……。
Neo wakes up late in the morning and looks at his clock。
Neo： Oh sh*t。 Oh sh*t sh*t sh*t!
Neo is standing in his bosses office at the software company he works for。
Rhineheart： You have a problem with authority， Mr。 Anderson。 You believe that you are special， that somehow the rules do not apply to you。 Obviously you are mistaken。 This company is one of the top software companies in the world because every single
