The machines plug Neo into the Matrix, whose population has now been entirely assimilated by Smith. The Smith-assimilated Oracle steps forth, telling Neo he has foreseen Smith's own victory. After a protracted fight, Smith recalls a vision and tells Neo that "everything that has a beginning has an end", unknowingly repeating what the Oracle had said to Neo earlier. This appears to cause Neo to concede defeat and allow himself to be assimilated. Outside the Matrix, pulses of energy surge into Neo's body, which causes the Neo-Smith clone, then all the other Smith clones in the Matrix, to be destroyed. This kills Neo but restores the Oracle and everyone in the Matrix. The Sentinels withdraw from Zion, Morpheus and Niobe embrace, and the city rejoices. The machines carry Neo's body away.

	The ''Logos'' is besieged by machines guarding Machine City. Neo shuts several of them down{{efn\|As depicted in ''[[The Matrix Reloaded]]'' (2003).}} but passes out from exhaustion. To avoid their attackers, Trinity flies above them, briefly glimpsing the open sky before crashing into a building. Fatally wounded by debris, Trinity declares her love for Neo before dying. Neo enters the Machine City and encounters the leadership of the machines in the form of the "[[Deus Ex Machina]]." Neo warns that Smith threatens both the machine and human worlds. He offers to stop Smith in exchange for peace with Zion. The Deus Ex Machina agrees, and the Sentinels shut down, stopping the attack on Zion.

	The machines plug Neo ~~through the machine mainframe~~ into the Matrix, whose population has now been entirely assimilated by Smith. The Smith with the Oracle's powers steps forth, telling Neo he has foreseen his own victory. After a protracted fight, Smith says "everything that has a beginning has an end," repeating what the Oracle said to Neo. Neo appears to concede defeat and allows himself to be assimilated. Outside the Matrix, the machines send a surge of energy into Neo's body, which inside the Matrix causes the Neo-Smith clone, then all the other Smith clones, to be destroyed, killing Neo while restoring the Oracle and everyone else who was assimilated. The Sentinels withdraw from Zion, Morpheus and Niobe embrace, and the city rejoices. The machines carry Neo's body away.
