OPEN: EXT-CITY STREETS, NIGHT: Rain pours hard down on the deserted cityscape. A woman walks down the middle of the street, she is wearing a long, red coat. Her hair is braided down to the small of her back. She wears a pair of dark sunglasses. This is ANTIGONE. She continues to walk. She stops and looks down the street. A man, sihlouetted against the street lights blocks her way. He is a tall figure wearing a long, black coat and has short black hair. Antigone steps closer. The man enters the light. He has a calm face behind a pair of dark sunglasses. This is NEO. Antigone recognises him right away.
ANTIGONE
Why are you here?
NEO
To send you a message.
ANTIGONE
What message?
NEO
The One is suppoed to maintain the balance. You cannot do what you intend to do without destroying the human race.
ANTIGONE
The human race doesn't exist as long as it is trapped in The Matrix. Don't tell me what I can or can not do.
NEO
All I can say is that you must tread carefully. There are forces brewing in The Matrix that not even I would know how to contend with.
ANTIGONE
From what I know of you, you don't seem to know much about anything.
NEO
Then know this too, The Nemesis is the purest form of evil. You are the purest form of good. You were deigned that way, to maintain the balance.
ANTIGONE
I'm no "good" good guy. I'm a "bad" good guy. Bad good guys do what the good good guys can't.
NEO
Which is?
ANTIGONE
Everything.
EXT-CITY STREETS: A woman's laughter fills the air. Neo and Antigone look around, they see nothing.
VOICE
Don't count on your race seeing the end of time. Count on seeing me in the near future. Good bye Mr. Anderson, Antigone.
EXT-CITY STREETS: The rain begins to turn into the green code of The Matrix. The code rips apart all of the buildings around Antigone and Neo.
CUT TO. INT-CABIN, DIONYSUS: Antigone wakes up in her cot. She is now wearing a tattered grey tank top and a pair of black pants. Her hair is down her back but greasy and unclean. She quickly gets out of her bed and leaves the room in her bare feet.
