3
00:01:18,089 --> 00:01:22,158
Get ready for the
feel, the feel of real. X1.
4
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,729
No pain, no gain.
5
00:01:45,816 --> 00:01:47,218
Pizza, guys.
6
00:01:53,158 --> 00:01:54,360
Whoo-hoo!
7
00:02:08,807 --> 00:02:10,339
Hello, Wade.
8
00:02:10,341 --> 00:02:12,075
Hello, Mrs. Gilmore.
9
00:02:12,077 --> 00:02:14,712
What's the matter?
Life getting you down?
10
00:02:19,650 --> 00:02:22,184
I was born in 2027.
11
00:02:22,186 --> 00:02:25,787
After the Corn Syrup Droughts,
after the Bandwidth Riots.
12
00:02:25,789 --> 00:02:28,190
After people stopped trying
to fix problems
13
00:02:28,192 --> 00:02:30,428
and just tried
to outlive them.
14
00:02:36,867 --> 00:02:39,535
My parents, they didn't make
it through those times,
15
00:02:39,537 --> 00:02:43,505
so I live here in Columbus,
Ohio, with my Aunt Alice.
16
00:02:43,507 --> 00:02:48,845
In 2045, Columbus is the
fastest-growing city on Earth.
17
00:02:48,847 --> 00:02:52,117
It's where Halliday and Morrow
started Gregarious Games.
18
00:02:56,854 --> 00:02:59,454
These days,
reality is a bummer.
19
00:02:59,456 --> 00:03:01,423
Everyone is looking
for a way to escape,
20
00:03:01,425 --> 00:03:02,757
and that's why Halliday...
21
00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:05,795
That's why he was
such a hero to us.
22
00:03:05,797 --> 00:03:09,300
He showed us that we could go somewhere
without going anywhere at all.
23
00:03:11,301 --> 00:03:12,869
You don't need a destination
24
00:03:12,871 --> 00:03:14,803
when you're running on
an omnidirectional treadmill
25
00:03:14,805 --> 00:03:17,075
with quadraphonic,
pressure-sensitive underlay.
26
00:03:17,876 --> 00:03:20,476
James Halliday saw the future.
27
00:03:20,478 --> 00:03:22,210
And then he built it.
28
00:03:22,212 --> 00:03:24,380
He gave us a place to go.
29
00:03:24,382 --> 00:03:26,715
A place called
30
00:03:26,717 --> 00:03:28,086
the OASIS.
31
00:03:41,265 --> 00:03:43,666
This is the OASIS.
32
00:03:43,668 --> 00:03:47,773
It's a place where the limits of
reality are your own imagination.
33
00:04:01,252 --> 00:04:03,322
You can do anything...
34
00:04:04,354 --> 00:04:05,357
...go anywhere.
35
00:04:06,791 --> 00:04:08,658
Like the vacation planet.
36
00:04:08,660 --> 00:04:11,459
Surf a 50-foot monster wave
in Hawaii.
37
00:04:11,461 --> 00:04:14,363
You can ski down the pyramids.
38
00:04:14,365 --> 00:04:16,265
You can climb Mount Everest
39
00:04:16,267 --> 00:04:17,702
with Batman.
40
00:04:20,471 --> 00:04:23,906
Check out this place. It's a
casino the size of a planet.
41
00:04:23,908 --> 00:04:25,774
You can lose your money there.
42
00:04:25,776 --> 00:04:27,976
You can get married.
You can get divorced.
43
00:04:27,978 --> 00:04:31,813
You can...
You can go in there.
44
00:04:31,815 --> 00:04:34,916
People come to the OASIS for
all the things they can do,
45
00:04:34,918 --> 00:04:38,222
but they stay because of all
the things they can be.
46
00:04:39,791 --> 00:04:43,558
Tall, beautiful, scary,
a different sex,
47
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,796
a different species,
live-action, cartoon.
48
00:04:46,798 --> 00:04:49,397
It's all your call.
49
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:52,735
Yeah, that's me.
Well, that's my avatar.
50
00:04:52,737 --> 00:04:56,705
At least, until I feel
like changing it.
51
00:04:56,707 --> 00:04:58,940
Except for eating, sleeping,
and bathroom breaks,
52
00:04:58,942 --> 00:05:03,012
whatever people wanna do,
they do it in the OASIS.
53
00:05:03,014 --> 00:05:06,015
And since everyone is here, this
is where we meet each other.
54
00:05:06,017 --> 00:05:07,550
It's where we make friends.
55
00:05:07,552 --> 00:05:09,885
Locate Aech.
56
00:05:09,887 --> 00:05:11,956
Locating Aech.
57
00:05:15,026 --> 00:05:16,892
Aech located.
58
00:05:16,894 --> 00:05:20,395
Sector 12. Planet Doom.
59
00:05:20,397 --> 00:05:23,733
Planet Doom, the most
dangerous place in the OASIS,
60
00:05:23,735 --> 00:05:26,836
and a pretty great place
to pick up coin.
61
00:05:26,838 --> 00:05:28,373
Figures Aech would be there.
62
00:05:31,041 --> 00:05:34,510
Aech is my best friend
in the OASIS.
63
00:05:34,512 --> 00:05:36,978
He's my best friend, period.
64
00:05:36,980 --> 00:05:39,817
Even though I've never actually
met him in the real world.
65
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,055
- What's up, Aech?
- Hey, what up, Z?
66
00:05:46,057 --> 00:05:48,690
Next race is in 20 minutes,
and I can't do the late one.
67
00:05:48,692 --> 00:05:50,392
What the hell are you up to?
68
00:05:50,394 --> 00:05:53,029
Man, gettin' my kills on, bro.
69
00:05:53,031 --> 00:05:54,063
Is that Daito?
70
00:05:54,065 --> 00:05:55,800
Daito and Sho.
71
00:06:02,072 --> 00:06:03,738
This an artifact hunt?
72
00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:06,041
Yup. Gregarious 120.
73
00:06:06,043 --> 00:06:10,613
Turn into any giant robot
for two minutes. That's rad.
74
00:06:10,615 --> 00:06:11,917
Artifacts.
75
00:06:12,716 --> 00:06:15,584
Those were key.
76
00:06:15,586 --> 00:06:17,753
Halliday made sure
the OASIS was littered
77
00:06:17,755 --> 00:06:20,455
with enough
randomly powerful stuff
78
00:06:20,457 --> 00:06:24,827
that anyone could win
if they had the skills.
79
00:06:24,829 --> 00:06:27,663
Death matches and artifact hunts
are a good way to coin-snatch,
80
00:06:27,665 --> 00:06:30,433
but depending on your level
of armor, they're risky.
81
00:06:31,935 --> 00:06:34,070
You see,
everyone starts the same,
82
00:06:34,072 --> 00:06:35,738
but the more coin you make...
83
00:06:35,740 --> 00:06:37,906
- Mom! Mom!
- ...the more you level up.
84
00:06:37,908 --> 00:06:39,808
If you get killed, your avatar
can come back to life...
85
00:06:39,810 --> 00:06:41,110
Go get your dad!
86
00:06:41,112 --> 00:06:42,581
...but you lose
all your stuff.
87
00:06:44,581 --> 00:06:46,351
Everything you've
ever worked for.
88
00:06:47,084 --> 00:06:48,750
All your money.
89
00:06:50,788 --> 00:06:52,120
Your clothes.
90
00:06:53,858 --> 00:06:55,925
Your weapons.
91
00:06:55,927 --> 00:06:58,527
Since people spend most of
their time in the OASIS...
92
00:07:01,365 --> 00:07:02,998
...losing your shit means...
93
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,834
Well, losing your shit.
94
00:07:08,005 --> 00:07:10,639
Aech, 10 minutes
until the race starts.
95
00:07:10,641 --> 00:07:12,841
Okay, Mom, I heard you.
96
00:07:12,843 --> 00:07:16,978
You see, the OASIS was the
brainchild of James Halliday.
97
00:07:16,980 --> 00:07:21,883
He and his partner, Ogden Morrow,
released the first OASIS build in 2025.
98
00:07:21,885 --> 00:07:26,154
It was an instant success, and
it made them both very rich.
99
00:07:26,156 --> 00:07:29,791
But Morrow was out of the picture
after a few years. And Halliday?
100
00:07:29,793 --> 00:07:33,128
He wasn't just the owner of
the world's biggest company.
101
00:07:33,130 --> 00:07:37,065
He was like a god.
People loved him.
102
00:07:37,067 --> 00:07:39,034
They worshiped him
as much as his creation.
103
00:07:39,036 --> 00:07:42,070
Maybe we should stop
talking about it
104
00:07:42,072 --> 00:07:44,572
and start, uh, showing it.
105
00:07:44,574 --> 00:07:46,875
If you all wanna reach
under your seats,
106
00:07:46,877 --> 00:07:49,010
you'll find that there's nothing there.
107
00:07:49,012 --> 00:07:53,416
But we're gonna... we're each
gonna bring you one now.
108
00:07:53,418 --> 00:07:57,553
And then,
on January 7, 2040...
109
00:08:00,190 --> 00:08:01,392
He died.
110
00:08:04,428 --> 00:08:06,348
And what he left behind
111
00:08:07,031 --> 00:08:09,567
changed everything.
112
00:08:22,113 --> 00:08:26,147
Hello. I am James Halliday.
113
00:08:26,149 --> 00:08:29,784
If you're watching this,
I'm dead.
114
00:08:29,786 --> 00:08:37,026
Before I died, I created what we
in the biz call an "Easter egg."
115
00:08:37,028 --> 00:08:43,869
A hidden object in a game that gives
special powers to whoever discovers it.
116
00:08:45,168 --> 00:08:47,936
The first person
to find the egg
117
00:08:47,938 --> 00:08:51,172
I've hidden somewhere
inside the OASIS
118
00:08:51,174 --> 00:08:55,210
will inherit my stock
in Gregarious Games,
119
00:08:55,212 --> 00:08:59,080
currently valued in excess
of half a million do...
120
00:08:59,082 --> 00:09:02,084
Uh, half a trillion
dollars' worth,
121
00:09:02,086 --> 00:09:08,556
and total control
of the OASIS itself.
122
00:09:08,558 --> 00:09:14,262
In the form of my avatar,
Anorak the All-Knowing,
123
00:09:14,264 --> 00:09:17,932
I created three keys.
124
00:09:17,934 --> 00:09:21,378
Three hidden challenges
test for worthy traits
125
00:09:21,380 --> 00:09:25,916
revealing three hidden keys
to three magic gates.
126
00:09:25,918 --> 00:09:30,086
And those with the skill
to survive these straits
127
00:09:30,088 --> 00:09:34,892
will reach the end,
where the prize awaits.
128
00:09:34,894 --> 00:09:37,397
Off you go, keys.
129
00:09:39,531 --> 00:09:44,534
The keys aren't just laying
around under a rock somewhere.
130
00:09:44,536 --> 00:09:47,470
I suppose you could say
they're invisible,
131
00:09:47,472 --> 00:09:51,207
hidden in a dark room
that's at the center of a maze
132
00:09:51,209 --> 00:09:54,113
that's located somewhere
133
00:09:55,113 --> 00:09:57,547
up here.
134
00:09:57,549 --> 00:10:01,386
Let the hunt
for Halliday's Easter egg
135
00:10:02,254 --> 00:10:03,553
begin.
136
00:10:09,595 --> 00:10:12,229
The challenge
is to find three keys,
137
00:10:12,231 --> 00:10:15,832
but in five years, no one
has even gotten one key.
138
00:10:15,834 --> 00:10:18,835
And the big scoreboard?
Still empty.
139
00:10:18,837 --> 00:10:20,571
Some long-forgotten gunter
cracked the first clue
140
00:10:20,573 --> 00:10:22,438
and found the first challenge.
141
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,341
Then, this portal appeared.
142
00:10:25,343 --> 00:10:28,804
But the challenge to win the first
key was a race designed by Halliday
143
00:10:28,806 --> 00:10:31,806
that was so hard,
no one had ever finished it.
144
00:10:31,808 --> 00:10:35,509
The only ones still trying are the
gunters, as in "egg hunters,"
145
00:10:35,511 --> 00:10:39,080
like me and Sho and Daito,
and my best friend, Aech.
146
00:10:39,082 --> 00:10:42,684
Oh, and of course, the Sixers.
147
00:10:42,686 --> 00:10:43,852
The Sixers work for IOI...
148
00:10:43,854 --> 00:10:45,653
Sixers!
149
00:10:45,655 --> 00:10:47,388
...Innovative
Online Industries.
150
00:10:47,390 --> 00:10:48,857
They're the second-largest
company in the world
151
00:10:48,859 --> 00:10:51,093
with designs
on becoming the first.
152
00:10:51,095 --> 00:10:52,860
Which is why they're putting
everything they got
153
00:10:52,862 --> 00:10:54,396
into winning
Halliday's contest.
154
00:10:54,398 --> 00:10:56,033
Buckle up!
155
00:10:56,866 --> 00:10:59,100
Sit in!
156
00:10:59,102 --> 00:11:01,770
We call 'em "Sixers"
'cause that's the company rule.
157
00:11:01,772 --> 00:11:04,839
No name, just numbers.
158
00:11:04,841 --> 00:11:07,876
They have a support team
made up of Halliday scholars.
159
00:11:07,878 --> 00:11:10,579
Like me, they spend all their
time studying pop culture
160
00:11:10,581 --> 00:11:12,247
that Halliday
was obsessed with,
161
00:11:12,249 --> 00:11:14,185
trying to find clues
to solve the contest.
162
00:11:16,854 --> 00:11:19,787
They're just following
the orders of the head of IOI,
163
00:11:19,789 --> 00:11:22,659
this dickweed
named Nolan Sorrento.
164
00:11:28,899 --> 00:11:30,531
How'd you get here before me?
165
00:11:30,533 --> 00:11:32,767
Well, I didn't make a pit stop
at the hair salon.
166
00:11:32,769 --> 00:11:35,469
- What up, Z?
- What's up, Aech?
167
00:11:35,471 --> 00:11:36,771
Saved you a spot.
168
00:11:36,773 --> 00:11:38,139
Thanks, bro.
169
00:11:42,312 --> 00:11:43,878
I gotta go to the back.
170
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,547
Ugh. So you can skim coins
from crashed cars?
171
00:11:46,549 --> 00:11:49,316
- That's just sad, man.
- Fuel's low.
172
00:11:49,318 --> 00:11:52,921
Oh, but you still had enough to pay
for that Something About Mary hairdo.
173
00:12:34,364 --> 00:12:35,463
First to the key.
174
00:12:36,766 --> 00:12:37,932
First to the egg!
175
00:13:27,317 --> 00:13:29,187
Aech, are you seeing this?
176
00:13:31,989 --> 00:13:34,421
Yeah, I see it. That's
Kaneda's bike from Akira.
177
00:13:34,423 --> 00:13:36,657
It's a licensed skin
over a standard frame.
178
00:13:36,659 --> 00:13:39,527
No, not the bike.
Forget the bike.
179
00:13:39,529 --> 00:13:41,363
The girl,
I think it's Art3mis.
180
00:13:41,365 --> 00:13:43,665
The Art3mis? The Sixer Fixer?
181
00:13:43,667 --> 00:13:46,600
I've seen all her walk-throughs,
her Twitch streams.
182
00:13:46,602 --> 00:13:48,505
It's her. It's definitely her.
183
00:15:35,644 --> 00:15:37,715
Go, go, go!
Get there! Come on!
184
00:15:43,553 --> 00:15:44,713
You got it, you got it!
185
00:15:54,130 --> 00:15:55,499
Balls.
186
00:16:01,004 --> 00:16:02,005
She's not gonna make it.
187
00:16:05,008 --> 00:16:06,840
Bail! Bail out!
188
00:16:06,842 --> 00:16:07,844
Bail!
189
00:16:14,049 --> 00:16:15,685
Ow!
190
00:16:46,081 --> 00:16:47,781
Damn, I loved that bike.
191
00:16:47,783 --> 00:16:49,450
Oh, Aech could...
192
00:16:49,452 --> 00:16:51,688
Well, he's my friend,
but he could fix it for you.
193
00:16:59,095 --> 00:17:01,863
This is my workshop.
Touch nothing.
194
00:17:08,205 --> 00:17:10,538
Where did you find
an Iron Giant?
195
00:17:10,540 --> 00:17:13,207
Find it? I'm building it.
That's a commission.
196
00:17:13,209 --> 00:17:16,176
Oh, yeah. Aech is
top-rated on the mod boards.
197
00:17:16,178 --> 00:17:19,214
People all over the OASIS
pay him serious coin.
198
00:17:19,216 --> 00:17:21,582
Oh, hey, check this out!
199
00:17:21,584 --> 00:17:24,586
Hey. Z, yo.
200
00:17:24,588 --> 00:17:27,054
- The Galactica, of course.
- These are my babies, all right, man?
201
00:17:27,056 --> 00:17:28,822
Sulaco, from Aliens.
202
00:17:28,824 --> 00:17:31,225
Dude, how are you
showing off my shit?
203
00:17:31,227 --> 00:17:32,993
Valley Forge, from Silent Running.
Oh, where's the Harkonnen Drop-Ship?
204
00:17:32,995 --> 00:17:35,562
That thing is sick.
Folds space like a boss.
205
00:17:35,564 --> 00:17:37,631
I mean, you can get from Incipio
to Arrakis in three seconds...
206
00:17:37,633 --> 00:17:39,199
Fingers!
207
00:17:39,201 --> 00:17:40,835
You'll have to excuse him.
208
00:17:40,837 --> 00:17:42,971
He gets a little nervous
around pretty girls.
209
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,515
I can fix it in 10 minutes.
210
00:17:53,917 --> 00:17:56,518
Yup. He's pretty great.
211
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,587
I assume you and Shoulder
Blades are clanned up.
212
00:17:59,589 --> 00:18:01,856
Oh, Aech? Nah.
213
00:18:01,858 --> 00:18:06,828
I mean, he's really good,
but I don't clan.
214
00:18:06,830 --> 00:18:09,531
Oh, 'cause you're Parzival,
215
00:18:09,533 --> 00:18:12,099
as in the knight who found
the Holy Grail by himself.
216
00:18:12,101 --> 00:18:14,101
What about you, Art3mis?
217
00:18:14,103 --> 00:18:17,040
Goddess of the hunt. Clans must
be killing to sign you up.
218
00:18:18,675 --> 00:18:20,641
- Favorite shooter?
- Excuse me?
219
00:18:20,643 --> 00:18:22,609
James Halliday's
favorite first-person shooter.
220
00:18:22,611 --> 00:18:24,177
- What?
- Oh. GoldenEye.
221
00:18:24,179 --> 00:18:26,548
- Playing as?
- Oddjob. Is this a test?
222
00:18:26,550 --> 00:18:28,282
Favorite game variant?
223
00:18:28,284 --> 00:18:29,884
Game variant was "slappers
only." No weapons.
224
00:18:29,886 --> 00:18:31,552
I know what "slappers only" means.
Racer?
225
00:18:31,554 --> 00:18:33,855
Turbo. And his favorite food
was Hot Pockets.
226
00:18:33,857 --> 00:18:35,822
Favorite restaurant
was Chuck E Cheese.
227
00:18:35,824 --> 00:18:38,158
Song was Video Killed the
Radio Star by the Buggles.
228
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,060
Video was Take on Me by A-ha.
229
00:18:40,062 --> 00:18:44,666
Oh, oh... His favorite
quote was from Superman.
230
00:18:44,668 --> 00:18:46,634
"Some people
can read War and Peace
231
00:18:46,636 --> 00:18:48,836
"and come away thinking it's
a simple adventure story..."
232
00:18:48,838 --> 00:18:51,306
"Others can read the ingredients on
the back of a chewing-gum wrapper
233
00:18:51,308 --> 00:18:54,175
"and unlock the secrets
of the universe."
234
00:18:54,177 --> 00:18:56,810
Lex Luthor.
235
00:18:56,812 --> 00:18:59,280
Cool.
236
00:18:59,282 --> 00:19:03,216
What would you do? If you won.
The whole contest, I mean.
237
00:19:03,218 --> 00:19:06,320
Oh! I mean, I've got tons
of plans in the real world.
238
00:19:06,322 --> 00:19:11,262
I'd... I'd move into a huge mansion,
buy a bunch of cool shit, not be poor.
239
00:19:12,329 --> 00:19:16,230
Now I know
why you stopped short.
240
00:19:16,232 --> 00:19:19,199
I stopped because of Kong. No
one ever makes it past Kong.
241
00:19:19,201 --> 00:19:21,668
That... That's...
That's, like, a rule.
242
00:19:21,670 --> 00:19:25,005
Well, then you know it can't be true.
Because Halliday hated making rules.
243
00:19:25,007 --> 00:19:26,741
I can't afford to zero out.
244
00:19:26,743 --> 00:19:28,342
- You're afraid to lose your shit.
- No, I'm not!
245
00:19:28,344 --> 00:19:30,110
What happens when IOI
offers you guaranteed coin
246
00:19:30,112 --> 00:19:31,311
for the keys to the kingdom?
247
00:19:31,313 --> 00:19:33,848
Nolan Sorrento
takes over the world.
248
00:19:33,850 --> 00:19:38,185
A real gunter would risk everything
to save the OASIS from IOI.
249
00:19:38,187 --> 00:19:39,686
Who said that?
250
00:19:39,688 --> 00:19:41,091
Me.
251
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:45,259
There you go. Good as new.
252
00:19:45,261 --> 00:19:47,731
Thanks for the fix-up, my man.
253
00:19:57,273 --> 00:19:59,374
That's better.
254
00:19:59,376 --> 00:20:03,347
I'll wave to you
from the finish line, McFly.
255
00:20:06,949 --> 00:20:08,249
That went well.
256
00:20:08,251 --> 00:20:10,150
Thanks to you,
Captain Big Mouth.
257
00:20:10,152 --> 00:20:13,387
Wade? Wade?
Where the hell are my gloves?
258
00:20:13,389 --> 00:20:15,359
Shit. I gotta go.
259
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:20,662
X1.
260
00:20:20,664 --> 00:20:23,431
When I'm after gold on Planet Doom,
I need every edge I can get.
261
00:20:23,433 --> 00:20:27,368
Every push, punch, gunshot,
you feel it all.
262
00:20:27,370 --> 00:20:31,906
Get ready for the
feel, the feel of real. X1.
263
00:20:31,908 --> 00:20:34,242
The X1 is like
wearing a second skin.
264
00:20:34,244 --> 00:20:36,179
A skin that kicks ass.
265
00:20:37,947 --> 00:20:40,848
I zeroed out 'cause
of your broke-ass gloves.
266
00:20:40,850 --> 00:20:42,282
Who told you to use them?
267
00:20:42,284 --> 00:20:44,354
You took hers.
268
00:20:45,455 --> 00:20:47,454
So you lost a death match.
269
00:20:47,456 --> 00:20:51,358
Why don't you just respawn and
level up like everyone else?
270
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:53,327
You don't get it.
271
00:20:53,329 --> 00:20:55,762
I bought all these power-ups for
this challenge, and I lost it all.
272
00:20:55,764 --> 00:20:57,432
That artifact
was gonna pay for the house!
273
00:20:57,434 --> 00:20:59,300
Wait.
274
00:20:59,302 --> 00:21:03,303
How much of our house money
did you spend on upgrades?
275
00:21:03,305 --> 00:21:06,174
Well, all of it,
but I was gonna win.
276
00:21:06,176 --> 00:21:09,045
That was our ticket
out of here.
277
00:21:11,481 --> 00:21:13,214
You idiot.
278
00:21:13,216 --> 00:21:15,215
No, but I only lost 'cause
of the bad gloves.
279
00:21:15,217 --> 00:21:16,983
Our house! Our goddamn house!
280
00:21:16,985 --> 00:21:18,485
My boys
were in that challenge.
281
00:21:18,487 --> 00:21:20,987
You couldn't have beat them
in a bootsuit, you noob.
282
00:21:20,989 --> 00:21:24,157
Stop! No! No!
283
00:21:24,159 --> 00:21:25,460
Alice, call the police!
284
00:21:25,462 --> 00:21:27,128
No, we are not
calling the cops.
285
00:21:27,130 --> 00:21:28,995
Go to your room, Rick.
286
00:21:28,997 --> 00:21:31,331
Aw, come on, Alice.
287
00:21:31,333 --> 00:21:35,336
Why do you put up with this guy?
He's a shitshow.
288
00:21:35,338 --> 00:21:39,906
I ought to kick the both of you out.
I swear to G-O-D, Wade Watts,
289
00:21:39,908 --> 00:21:42,476
if I catch you
touching my stuff again,
290
00:21:42,478 --> 00:21:45,215
not joking... Out.
291
00:21:52,155 --> 00:21:54,489
"Wade Watts."
292
00:21:54,491 --> 00:21:56,256
My dad picked that name
293
00:21:56,258 --> 00:21:58,493
because it sounded
like a superhero's alter ego,
294
00:21:58,495 --> 00:22:02,163
like Peter Parker
or Bruce Banner.
295
00:22:02,165 --> 00:22:04,232
But he died when I was a kid.
296
00:22:04,234 --> 00:22:07,435
My mom, too,
and I ended up here,
297
00:22:07,437 --> 00:22:09,337
living with Aunt Alice
298
00:22:09,339 --> 00:22:11,708
and her endless string
of hard-loving losers.
299
00:22:14,377 --> 00:22:17,445
"Halliday hated making rules."
300
00:22:17,447 --> 00:22:20,050
Why is that line
sticking in my head?
301
00:22:22,418 --> 00:22:25,953
Maybe it's 'cause Art3mis
said it, and she's hot.
302
00:22:25,955 --> 00:22:28,222
Maybe it's because
she called me out,
303
00:22:28,224 --> 00:22:31,391
sitting here
in my tiny corner of nowhere,
304
00:22:31,393 --> 00:22:34,128
protecting my small slice
of nothing.
305
00:22:34,130 --> 00:22:36,397
Or maybe...
306
00:22:36,399 --> 00:22:38,899
Maybe it's because
that line means something
307
00:22:38,901 --> 00:22:40,400
and I missed it.
308
00:22:43,406 --> 00:22:44,972
The day the contest
was announced,
309
00:22:44,974 --> 00:22:47,308
the Halliday Journals
appeared.
310
00:22:47,310 --> 00:22:50,477
He told us to look in his brain.
This was the next best thing.
311
00:22:50,479 --> 00:22:53,981
At first, it was jammed with
gunters looking for answers.
312
00:22:53,983 --> 00:22:56,416
Now, the once-crowded halls
of Halliday's memories
313
00:22:56,418 --> 00:22:57,885
are left to people like me.
314
00:22:57,887 --> 00:23:00,454
Parzival. Oh, joy!
315
00:23:00,456 --> 00:23:04,157
And how will you eat up
my valuable search time today?
316
00:23:04,159 --> 00:23:06,327
Gregarious Games, 2029...
Office party.
317
00:23:06,329 --> 00:23:09,496
Office party. Yes, you've only
seen it a thousand times.
318
00:23:09,498 --> 00:23:12,265
Why not go back?
319
00:23:12,267 --> 00:23:15,970
Each entry into Halliday's
Journals is meticulously assembled
320
00:23:15,972 --> 00:23:18,472
from personal photographs,
home video recordings,
321
00:23:18,474 --> 00:23:20,407
surveillance, and nanny cams.
322
00:23:20,409 --> 00:23:24,244
All rendered into a three-dimensional
virtual experience.
323
00:23:24,246 --> 00:23:27,915
Also, Halliday archived every film,
game, book, and television program
324
00:23:27,917 --> 00:23:31,252
he ever saw,
located on the mezzanine.
325
00:23:31,254 --> 00:23:34,621
No weapons or mature-themed avatars
are permitted within the Journals.
326
00:23:34,623 --> 00:23:38,626
Please enjoy your time with
us, and happy gunting!
327
00:23:38,628 --> 00:23:40,461
I like cleaning up.
328
00:23:40,463 --> 00:23:42,832
Okay, Jim,
I'm, uh... I'm going.
329
00:23:47,603 --> 00:23:50,570
Everything changes, Jim.
Everything evolves.
330
00:23:50,572 --> 00:23:54,140
Some things are perfect
just the way they are. Asteroids.
331
00:23:54,142 --> 00:23:58,148
People don't live inside
an Asteroids arcade cabinet.
332
00:23:59,514 --> 00:24:01,381
I know that.
333
00:24:01,383 --> 00:24:03,618
Yeah, well, people are living
inside the arcade we built.
334
00:24:03,620 --> 00:24:05,586
- I built.
- Uh, well...
335
00:24:05,588 --> 00:24:08,489
Right. Well, I guess you
can say whatever you want.
336
00:24:08,491 --> 00:24:10,023
I don't really wanna
talk about it anymore.
337
00:24:10,025 --> 00:24:11,192
No, of course
you don't wanna talk about it.
338
00:24:11,194 --> 00:24:12,627
You're forcing me out.
339
00:24:12,629 --> 00:24:14,160
Closer on Halliday.
340
00:24:14,162 --> 00:24:16,030
Look, invention
comes with responsibilities
341
00:24:16,032 --> 00:24:18,198
you didn't ask for.
342
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,400
All right, if you make
something people want or need
343
00:24:20,402 --> 00:24:23,204
then it's up to you to set the limits.
You have to make some rules.
344
00:24:23,206 --> 00:24:24,605
"I don't wanna
make any more rules."
345
00:24:24,607 --> 00:24:26,640
I don't wanna make
any more rules.
346
00:24:26,642 --> 00:24:28,074
"I'm a dreamer."
347
00:24:28,076 --> 00:24:29,377
I'm a dreamer.
348
00:24:29,379 --> 00:24:32,312
- I build worlds.
- "I build worlds."
349
00:24:32,314 --> 00:24:35,081
We created something beautiful,
Jim, but it's changed.
350
00:24:35,083 --> 00:24:36,516
Okay? It's really
not a game anymore.
351
00:24:36,518 --> 00:24:38,351
Are we finished?
352
00:24:38,353 --> 00:24:42,625
I liked how things were
when they were...
353
00:24:44,326 --> 00:24:46,493
When it was a game.
354
00:24:46,495 --> 00:24:49,262
And we're back to where we started.
But that's the point, isn't it?
355
00:24:49,264 --> 00:24:51,564
Things move forward
whether you like it or not.
356
00:24:51,566 --> 00:24:53,701
Yeah, we're finished.
357
00:24:53,703 --> 00:24:55,539
Fine.
358
00:24:57,572 --> 00:25:01,544
Why can't we
go backwards, for once?
359
00:25:03,713 --> 00:25:08,115
Backwards, really fast.
Fast as we can.
360
00:25:08,117 --> 00:25:10,216
Really put the pedal to
the metal, you know?
361
00:25:10,218 --> 00:25:12,720
Go back 10 seconds!
362
00:25:12,722 --> 00:25:17,558
Why can't we go backwards,
for once?
363
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,963
Backwards, really fast.
Fast as we can.
364
00:25:21,965 --> 00:25:24,501
Really put the pedal to
the metal, you know?
365
00:25:25,568 --> 00:25:27,568
Bill and Ted did it.
366
00:25:48,690 --> 00:25:50,693
Back again so soon?
367
00:25:52,495 --> 00:25:54,630
Careful not to lose your shit.
368
00:25:58,735 --> 00:26:01,101
You figured something out.
369
00:26:01,103 --> 00:26:03,273
Parzival, tell me.
370
00:27:43,406 --> 00:27:48,242
Nice racing, Padawan.
You're the first to finish.
371
00:27:48,244 --> 00:27:52,716
Mr. Halliday... Anorak.
372
00:27:54,117 --> 00:27:55,683
It's such an honor.
373
00:27:55,685 --> 00:27:57,721
The honor is all mine.
374
00:28:08,864 --> 00:28:10,800
Get yourself a clue.
375
00:28:26,379 --> 00:28:28,781
Who is this Parzival, and
how the hell is he winning?
376
00:28:28,783 --> 00:28:31,618
Well, here's a better question.
Who cares?
377
00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:33,721
Halliday's contest
is vitally important.
378
00:28:33,723 --> 00:28:36,823
I mean, it's nothing less than a
war for control of the future.
379
00:28:36,825 --> 00:28:39,859
But this Parzival?
He's not even clanned up.
380
00:28:39,861 --> 00:28:43,397
He's alone. We have an army.
381
00:28:43,399 --> 00:28:44,932
And yet,
he's got the first key.
382
00:28:44,934 --> 00:28:46,800
Yeah, he has a key,
383
00:28:46,802 --> 00:28:49,802
but you have to get three
of 'em to win the contest.
384
00:28:49,804 --> 00:28:52,673
Our stock dove 6% yesterday.
385
00:28:52,675 --> 00:28:56,644
Loyalty division is reporting
profits of 28%. F'Nale.
386
00:28:56,646 --> 00:28:59,480
We're opening five new
loyalty centers this month.
387
00:28:59,482 --> 00:29:01,514
Debt Services dwarfs Hardware.
388
00:29:01,516 --> 00:29:03,583
Now, you really wanna talk
to me about stock prices?
389
00:29:03,585 --> 00:29:05,618
The shareholders
won't be happy.
390
00:29:05,620 --> 00:29:08,289
It's not our job to make them happy.
It's our job to make them money,
391
00:29:08,291 --> 00:29:12,329
but once we launch this little
baby, they're gonna flip.
392
00:29:13,662 --> 00:29:16,864
We call this Pure O2.
393
00:29:16,866 --> 00:29:18,765
This is the first
of our planned upgrades.
394
00:29:18,767 --> 00:29:21,368
Once we can roll back some of
Halliday's ad restrictions,
395
00:29:21,370 --> 00:29:25,438
we estimate
we can sell up to 80%
396
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,843
of an individual's visual field before
inducing seizures, so picture this...
397
00:29:30,845 --> 00:29:33,849
All of this implies
we win the contest.
398
00:29:36,819 --> 00:29:38,985
Indeed, it does.
399
00:29:40,790 --> 00:29:43,557
Dude, you won the key
and 100,000 coins?
400
00:29:43,559 --> 00:29:44,858
As soon as I took the key,
401
00:29:44,860 --> 00:29:46,961
all the coins
just appeared in my account.
402
00:29:46,963 --> 00:29:49,043
I'll tell you what, I'm
soiling my haptics right now.
403
00:29:52,901 --> 00:29:54,702
What the hell's a Cataclyst?
404
00:29:54,704 --> 00:29:58,472
A bomb. Kills every avatar
on a planet, even the owner.
405
00:29:58,474 --> 00:29:59,706
Who'd want that?
406
00:29:59,708 --> 00:30:01,710
IOI.
They buy everything.
407
00:30:02,878 --> 00:30:05,878
Twenty-thou
for the holy hand grenade?
408
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,551
That's a steal!
409
00:30:09,885 --> 00:30:13,721
Whoa! Zemeckis Cube!
I need one of those.
410
00:30:13,723 --> 00:30:15,392
Okay, don't spend
all your money.
411
00:30:18,860 --> 00:30:21,363
X1 haptic bootsuit.
412
00:30:36,012 --> 00:30:37,414
Oh, yeah!
413
00:31:30,466 --> 00:31:33,602
i-R0k, old friend.
How are you?
414
00:31:35,838 --> 00:31:37,503
To be honest,
I have kind of a neck thing.
415
00:31:37,505 --> 00:31:39,473
It's like a carpel-tunnel deal
416
00:31:39,475 --> 00:31:41,341
but with your neck,
if that's even a thing.
417
00:31:41,343 --> 00:31:43,976
So if you could just stand
to... to your right.
418
00:31:43,978 --> 00:31:44,980
My right, your left.
419
00:31:47,116 --> 00:31:50,420
Thanks, it's the repetitive stress.
Oh.
420
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:52,622
Here he is.
421
00:31:54,756 --> 00:31:59,760
The steampunk pirate king.
I knew him well, Sorrento.
422
00:31:59,762 --> 00:32:02,128
There are only three things
in this world I hate,
423
00:32:02,130 --> 00:32:06,099
steampunk, pirates,
and tabbouleh.
424
00:32:06,101 --> 00:32:08,935
I mean,
why do they even have it?
425
00:32:08,937 --> 00:32:11,637
Is there a reason
we're meeting here?
426
00:32:11,639 --> 00:32:16,877
Yes, Nolan. The Orb of Osuvox.
427
00:32:16,879 --> 00:32:19,983
You wanted it. He had it.
And so here it is.
428
00:32:24,018 --> 00:32:27,987
It creates an impenetrable magic
shield that can only be taken down
429
00:32:27,989 --> 00:32:30,156
by a magic spell.
430
00:32:30,158 --> 00:32:32,792
The Orb of Osuvox.
431
00:32:32,794 --> 00:32:33,993
Don't say that again.
432
00:32:33,995 --> 00:32:35,031
Okay.
433
00:32:37,466 --> 00:32:41,167
Now, I'm gonna need you
to keep this for now.
434
00:32:41,169 --> 00:32:43,404
I'm gonna let you know
when I wanna use it.
435
00:32:43,406 --> 00:32:44,407
Okay?
436
00:32:47,877 --> 00:32:51,912
Right now, though,
I have another job for you.
437
00:32:51,914 --> 00:32:53,045
Ah.
438
00:32:53,047 --> 00:32:55,182
Parzival.
439
00:32:55,184 --> 00:32:58,088
Let me guess, you want
him off the scoreboard.
440
00:32:58,987 --> 00:33:00,486
Can you do that?
441
00:33:00,488 --> 00:33:03,022
Well, he's a superstar.
442
00:33:03,024 --> 00:33:04,891
He made it
through the first gate
443
00:33:04,893 --> 00:33:07,493
and avatars are gonna be
on him like hoes on Santa.
444
00:33:07,495 --> 00:33:10,731
i-R0k, how much more
do you want?
445
00:33:10,733 --> 00:33:14,167
That's what I like about you, Nolan.
You never lick.
446
00:33:14,169 --> 00:33:16,203
You bite straight
to the chocolaty center
447
00:33:16,205 --> 00:33:18,539
of the Tootsie Pop.
448
00:33:18,541 --> 00:33:20,941
Remember that old commercial,
with the owl?
449
00:33:20,943 --> 00:33:21,945
i-R0k.
450
00:33:23,946 --> 00:33:25,745
Three times my normal fee.
451
00:33:25,747 --> 00:33:27,181
Done.
452
00:33:27,183 --> 00:33:29,049
Wait, really?
I should have asked for five.
453
00:33:29,051 --> 00:33:30,986
Is four still on the table?
454
00:33:33,456 --> 00:33:36,456
There's five of us
on the big board now.
455
00:33:36,458 --> 00:33:39,059
Art3mis was next,
no surprise there.
456
00:33:39,061 --> 00:33:42,596
She was on the track when I won.
She saw me going backwards.
457
00:33:42,598 --> 00:33:47,634
I gave Aech a tip, made him promise not
to say anything, and then he won next.
458
00:33:47,636 --> 00:33:50,102
I'm pretty sure
he bragged to our pal Daito,
459
00:33:50,104 --> 00:33:53,040
'cause he won right after.
460
00:33:53,042 --> 00:33:56,643
And of course, Daito told
his best friend, Sho...
461
00:33:56,645 --> 00:33:58,779
He totally totaled his car,
462
00:33:58,781 --> 00:34:00,884
but then Sho got it, too.
463
00:34:09,925 --> 00:34:12,158
"A creator who hates
his own creation.
464
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,662
"A hidden key, a leap not taken.
Retrace your steps, escape your past."
465
00:34:16,664 --> 00:34:19,198
"A creator who hates
his own creation.
466
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,836
"A hidden key, a leap not taken.
Retrace your steps, escape your past.
467
00:34:23,838 --> 00:34:26,041
"And the key of jade
will be yours at last."
468
00:35:08,149 --> 00:35:10,052
"Escape your past."
469
00:35:13,789 --> 00:35:16,693
What part of your past are you
trying to escape, Halliday?
470
00:35:28,570 --> 00:35:30,336
- Hey, it's Parzival!
- Dude!
471
00:35:31,807 --> 00:35:33,339
You're, like,
totally my hero!
472
00:35:33,341 --> 00:35:34,307
Hey, Parzival!
Over here!
473
00:35:34,309 --> 00:35:36,642
Dude, you're amazing!
474
00:35:36,644 --> 00:35:38,925
Hey, Parzival! Right here!
Let me get an autograph!
475
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:46,352
Watch it!
476
00:35:46,354 --> 00:35:50,691
You're famous now! You can't
just go wherever you want!
477
00:35:50,693 --> 00:35:52,091
No, no, no, I...
478
00:35:56,731 --> 00:35:58,834
Huh?
479
00:36:02,370 --> 00:36:04,706
Ahh!
480
00:36:10,845 --> 00:36:15,048
That is... That is not funny.
481
00:36:15,050 --> 00:36:17,718
Oh, God.
482
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:20,354
Ugh.
483
00:36:20,356 --> 00:36:23,122
Oh, God. Don't you get it?
484
00:36:23,124 --> 00:36:25,626
You're "the Parzival" now.
485
00:36:25,628 --> 00:36:27,062
You have to have a disguise.
486
00:36:29,398 --> 00:36:30,966
Okay, here.
487
00:36:32,267 --> 00:36:33,966
Clark Kent glasses.
488
00:36:33,968 --> 00:36:36,204
They hide your identity
without changing your look.
489
00:36:44,979 --> 00:36:46,379
I'm not wearing that.
490
00:36:56,124 --> 00:36:58,758
This is great.
491
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,827
The way your inventory
bursts out when you die.
492
00:37:00,829 --> 00:37:02,294
They didn't want
any more blood.
493
00:37:02,296 --> 00:37:04,131
This is right before
the OASIS went live.
494
00:37:04,133 --> 00:37:07,734
Six days prior.
December 2nd, 2025.
495
00:37:07,736 --> 00:37:09,769
Check this out.
496
00:37:09,771 --> 00:37:11,340
You know who that is?
497
00:37:13,008 --> 00:37:14,774
Is that Sorrento?
498
00:37:14,776 --> 00:37:16,742
Sorrento started
as an intern.
499
00:37:16,744 --> 00:37:19,178
He claims he learned
at the feet of the master.
500
00:37:19,180 --> 00:37:21,914
That's how he convinced IOI
to create the Sixers for him,
501
00:37:21,916 --> 00:37:23,283
his Halliday knowledge.
502
00:37:23,285 --> 00:37:25,785
But ask Ogden Morrow?
503
00:37:25,787 --> 00:37:29,955
He says the only thing Sorrento
actually knew about Halliday
504
00:37:29,957 --> 00:37:31,425
was how he liked his coffee.
505
00:37:31,427 --> 00:37:34,126
You could have, like,
different tiers of accounts,
506
00:37:34,128 --> 00:37:35,762
like a gold member.
507
00:37:35,764 --> 00:37:39,432
A person could be
silver, platinum, bronze.
508
00:37:39,434 --> 00:37:41,300
You know, depending on
what they paid.
509
00:37:41,302 --> 00:37:44,370
You know, highest one maybe being
"Water" because "OASIS," right?
510
00:37:44,372 --> 00:37:46,305
Hell of a latte.
511
00:37:46,307 --> 00:37:48,374
Can you fast-forward to the
stuff about Halliday's date?
512
00:37:48,376 --> 00:37:50,145
What? Halliday actually went
on a date?
513
00:37:54,316 --> 00:37:55,981
So, what happened?
514
00:37:55,983 --> 00:37:59,218
Nothing. I invited her over.
515
00:37:59,220 --> 00:38:01,854
Well, did you at least
get her name?
516
00:38:01,856 --> 00:38:05,358
Yeah. Kira, I told you, like the
character in The Dark Crystal.
517
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,329
That's her gamer tag.
518
00:38:09,465 --> 00:38:10,430
- Karen.
- Karen.
519
00:38:10,432 --> 00:38:12,966
Yeah, okay? Karen Underwood.
520
00:38:12,968 --> 00:38:16,368
No, no. Karen Underwood,
as in Ogden Morrow's wife?
521
00:38:16,370 --> 00:38:18,370
Just watch.
522
00:38:18,372 --> 00:38:22,341
So, listen, you and Karen Underwood.
What'd you do?
523
00:38:22,343 --> 00:38:24,810
She wanted to go dancing,
524
00:38:24,812 --> 00:38:27,082
so we watched a movie.
525
00:38:28,383 --> 00:38:29,383
And?
526
00:38:31,352 --> 00:38:33,385
Where's the juice?
527
00:38:33,387 --> 00:38:35,388
Give me some juice!
528
00:38:35,390 --> 00:38:38,992
- There is no juice!
- Oh, God!
529
00:38:38,994 --> 00:38:40,459
Hold the phone.
530
00:38:40,461 --> 00:38:44,765
Halliday went on a date
with Ogden Morrow's wife?
531
00:38:44,767 --> 00:38:48,200
Just once, years before they
were even married, but yeah.
532
00:38:48,202 --> 00:38:50,370
And despite that,
and the fact that she died,
533
00:38:50,372 --> 00:38:53,874
the name "Kira" is only mentioned
once in all of Halliday's Journals.
534
00:38:53,876 --> 00:38:55,207
That's not possible.
535
00:38:55,209 --> 00:38:57,109
It is. Look it up.
536
00:38:57,111 --> 00:38:59,546
What we just saw is the only
time she's ever mentioned.
537
00:38:59,548 --> 00:39:01,046
It makes no sense.
538
00:39:01,048 --> 00:39:03,416
She was an important part
of both their lives.
539
00:39:03,418 --> 00:39:05,287
I'll bet you anything.
All my coin.
540
00:39:07,189 --> 00:39:11,057
Search
"Karen Underwood Morrow."
541
00:39:11,059 --> 00:39:14,227
Kira, I told you, like the
character in The Dark Crystal.
542
00:39:14,229 --> 00:39:16,428
That's her gamer tag.
543
00:39:16,430 --> 00:39:19,131
Halliday purposely removed every
mention of her except for this one.
544
00:39:19,133 --> 00:39:20,566
That's weird. Why?
545
00:39:20,568 --> 00:39:22,568
It's like, it was just
so painful for him
546
00:39:22,570 --> 00:39:25,905
to have to see her face
or hear her name.
547
00:39:25,907 --> 00:39:27,573
Well, he loved her.
548
00:39:27,575 --> 00:39:29,441
He couldn't tell that
to Morrow.
549
00:39:29,443 --> 00:39:31,310
Oh, that's sad. He should
have told her how he felt.
550
00:39:31,312 --> 00:39:32,812
Yeah, well,
he missed his chance.
551
00:39:32,814 --> 00:39:34,948
Look.
552
00:39:34,950 --> 00:39:38,151
I found the clue to the race
in the other scene, but...
553
00:39:38,153 --> 00:39:39,553
I've always felt
that the biggest clue
554
00:39:39,555 --> 00:39:41,421
to the contest
was hidden here.
555
00:39:41,423 --> 00:39:43,325
You're right.
556
00:39:44,459 --> 00:39:46,459
I lose.
557
00:39:46,461 --> 00:39:48,260
Don't sweat it, Curator.
558
00:39:48,262 --> 00:39:50,564
You see, Kira is the Rosebud
at the center of his story.
559
00:39:50,566 --> 00:39:51,964
She's the big mystery.
560
00:39:51,966 --> 00:39:54,269
No, no. A bet is a bet.
561
00:39:55,838 --> 00:39:58,905
Oh, wow. A quarter.
You can keep it.
562
00:39:58,907 --> 00:40:00,977
No. You can keep it.
563
00:40:04,345 --> 00:40:06,448
- You free Thursday?
- Who, me?
564
00:40:07,448 --> 00:40:09,151
No, him.
565
00:40:10,419 --> 00:40:12,187
Oh, my God. Yes, you!
566
00:40:14,523 --> 00:40:16,289
You know The Distracted Globe?
567
00:40:16,291 --> 00:40:18,327
Yeah, the dance club.
568
00:40:20,329 --> 00:40:23,162
Meet me there. 10:00 p.m.
569
00:40:23,164 --> 00:40:25,367
There's something
I wanna show you.
570
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,503
Uh, bye-bye!
571
00:40:28,637 --> 00:40:30,637
Did she just ask me out?
572
00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:32,504
And I was starting
to like her.
573
00:40:32,506 --> 00:40:34,341
All right.
574
00:40:34,343 --> 00:40:35,845
I don't do that.
575
00:40:39,481 --> 00:40:41,548
Z, I can't believe
you told her about Kira.
576
00:40:41,550 --> 00:40:44,117
What? I told you.
577
00:40:44,119 --> 00:40:48,021
Hey, what about this?
578
00:40:48,023 --> 00:40:50,890
No. Have you considered that
Art3mis could be using you?
579
00:40:50,892 --> 00:40:55,361
Hey, dude, she's giving me a clue.
Maybe I'm the one using her.
580
00:40:55,363 --> 00:40:58,964
Should I go more Thriller?
581
00:40:58,966 --> 00:41:00,336
No.
582
00:41:01,135 --> 00:41:02,234
Punk?
583
00:41:02,236 --> 00:41:03,238
No.
584
00:41:05,340 --> 00:41:06,506
Duran Duran.
585
00:41:06,508 --> 00:41:08,541
No.
586
00:41:08,543 --> 00:41:09,508
Does it look like
I'm trying too hard?
587
00:41:09,510 --> 00:41:12,979
Yes! Listen to yourself!
588
00:41:12,981 --> 00:41:16,149
You have a massive cyber crush
on this girl.
589
00:41:16,151 --> 00:41:18,454
She's hacking your heart
to get to your head.
590
00:41:20,222 --> 00:41:22,024
I got it!
591
00:41:23,224 --> 00:41:25,258
- Buckaroo Banzai?
- Yeah!
592
00:41:25,260 --> 00:41:28,528
Really? You're gonna wear the
outfit from your favorite movie?
593
00:41:28,530 --> 00:41:29,696
Don't be that guy.
594
00:41:29,698 --> 00:41:31,932
I am that guy.
595
00:41:31,934 --> 00:41:33,700
Z, you gotta be more careful
about who you meet in the OASIS.
596
00:41:33,702 --> 00:41:37,003
Aech, Art3mis gets me.
She'll get my outfit.
597
00:41:37,005 --> 00:41:40,006
There's just this connection.
I mean, sometimes, we even...
598
00:41:40,008 --> 00:41:41,707
- Finish each other's sentences?
- Yeah!
599
00:41:41,709 --> 00:41:44,611
We have that. Me and you.
600
00:41:44,613 --> 00:41:48,180
Yeah, I know, but that's because
we're best friends, dude.
601
00:41:48,182 --> 00:41:50,115
She could be a dude,
too, dude.
602
00:41:50,117 --> 00:41:51,283
Come on.
603
00:41:51,285 --> 00:41:53,019
I'm serious!
604
00:41:53,021 --> 00:41:55,588
She could actually be
a 300-pound dude
605
00:41:55,590 --> 00:41:58,959
who lives in his mama's
basement in suburban Detroit.
606
00:41:58,961 --> 00:42:00,596
And her name is Chuck.
607
00:42:02,530 --> 00:42:05,131
Think about that.
608
00:42:34,329 --> 00:42:35,729
Whoa, dude,
is that Parzival?
609
00:42:35,731 --> 00:42:37,463
- Parzival!
- Oh, my God, Parzival!
610
00:42:37,465 --> 00:42:40,734
Come here, man.
Hey, can we get a photo?
611
00:42:42,738 --> 00:42:45,071
- Thank you so much!
- Dude, you're my hero!
612
00:42:45,073 --> 00:42:46,341
Hey, Parzival.
613
00:42:48,642 --> 00:42:50,478
Thank you.
614
00:43:04,325 --> 00:43:07,426
Get out of town!
Buckaroo Banzai?
615
00:43:07,428 --> 00:43:09,763
- Huh?
- I like it. I like Buckaroo Banzai.
616
00:43:09,765 --> 00:43:11,430
- Oh, thanks!
- It's great!
617
00:43:11,432 --> 00:43:13,198
- Yeah! You look...
- Oh.
618
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,700
You look awesome!
619
00:43:14,702 --> 00:43:15,702
- Thank you.
- Wow.
620
00:43:17,639 --> 00:43:19,506
A big one, a small one?
621
00:43:19,508 --> 00:43:20,643
A big one!
622
00:43:35,689 --> 00:43:39,559
Get out of here.
623
00:43:39,561 --> 00:43:41,493
What a freak! WOMAN 2:
I thought he was kind of cute.
624
00:43:41,495 --> 00:43:42,829
Have you been here before?
625
00:43:42,831 --> 00:43:44,731
It's cool, right? I mean...
626
00:43:44,733 --> 00:43:47,133
So, what's the plan?
627
00:43:47,135 --> 00:43:49,568
Are you gonna kill their avatars?
Zero them out?
628
00:43:49,570 --> 00:43:51,704
They're both here
at The Distracted Globe.
629
00:43:51,706 --> 00:43:54,173
I can't talk.
630
00:43:54,175 --> 00:43:56,075
The Distracted Globe
was one of the first clubs
631
00:43:56,077 --> 00:43:57,343
Halliday created in the OASIS.
632
00:43:57,345 --> 00:43:58,845
That's common knowledge.
633
00:43:58,847 --> 00:44:01,180
But I double-checked
634
00:44:01,182 --> 00:44:03,649
and it turns out he started building it
right after that moment you showed me.
635
00:44:03,651 --> 00:44:04,716
The date with Kira.
636
00:44:04,718 --> 00:44:06,820
Right, and she was
a serious dancer.
637
00:44:06,822 --> 00:44:09,088
Maybe he thought
he'd take her here,
638
00:44:09,090 --> 00:44:11,724
like on a virtual date.
639
00:44:11,726 --> 00:44:13,827
As if that ever works.
640
00:44:13,829 --> 00:44:15,327
So Halliday built it for her?
641
00:44:15,329 --> 00:44:16,662
But they never made it
past the first date.
642
00:44:16,664 --> 00:44:18,097
So Halliday's the creator...
643
00:44:18,099 --> 00:44:19,432
Who hates his own creation.
644
00:44:19,434 --> 00:44:20,834
And the club
is the thing he hates.
645
00:44:20,836 --> 00:44:23,072
And "A hidden key,
a leap not taken"?
646
00:44:26,541 --> 00:44:27,807
But people jump off it
all night long.
647
00:44:27,809 --> 00:44:29,742
But none of those people
had the Copper Key,
648
00:44:29,744 --> 00:44:33,580
so when we jump off,
maybe it's different. Right?
649
00:44:33,582 --> 00:44:34,583
Right.
650
00:44:37,452 --> 00:44:38,718
So we take it together?
651
00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:40,089
Sure.
652
00:44:41,890 --> 00:44:44,224
We're not clanning up
or anything.
653
00:44:44,226 --> 00:44:47,262
Of course not. I don't clan.
654
00:44:48,396 --> 00:44:49,562
Wait...
655
00:44:49,564 --> 00:44:50,666
Whoa!
656
00:44:52,267 --> 00:44:53,736
Ow! Whoa.
657
00:44:58,439 --> 00:45:02,242
I don't think this is it.
No scoreboard, no obstacles.
658
00:45:02,244 --> 00:45:04,680
- Maybe a dance challenge?
- Huh? Whoa!
659
00:45:20,394 --> 00:45:22,331

00:47:14,408 --> 00:47:15,908
You can't use your real name.
692
00:47:15,910 --> 00:47:16,975
You're not just anyone.
693
00:47:16,977 --> 00:47:18,878
You don't know me.
694
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:20,013
You don't know anything about me.
We've never met.
695
00:47:20,015 --> 00:47:21,951
I do know you, Arty.
696
00:47:23,751 --> 00:47:25,253
I'm in love with you.
697
00:47:33,794 --> 00:47:35,995
- Is this part of the challenge?
- No.
698
00:47:35,997 --> 00:47:37,366
It's an ambush.
699
00:47:44,872 --> 00:47:47,606
IOI, always in the way.
700
00:47:47,608 --> 00:47:49,441
Did you hear what I said?
I said I'm in love with you.
701
00:47:49,443 --> 00:47:50,812
No, you're not.
702
00:47:52,414 --> 00:47:54,046
You only know
what I want you to know.
703
00:47:54,048 --> 00:47:55,883
You only see
what I want you to see.
704
00:47:58,820 --> 00:48:00,622
That's what
you're in love with.
705
00:48:14,501 --> 00:48:15,637
Watch out!
706
00:48:25,914 --> 00:48:27,316
Pull.
707
00:48:39,961 --> 00:48:42,961
Head back! Z!
Your armor is running low.
708
00:48:42,963 --> 00:48:44,299
I just bought this.
709
00:48:52,374 --> 00:48:53,673
Zemeckis Cube.
710
00:48:53,675 --> 00:48:55,510
Turns everything
back in time 60 seconds.
711
00:49:00,148 --> 00:49:01,950
And you waited
until now to use it?
712
00:49:10,090 --> 00:49:12,393
Wow, you were amazing.
713
00:49:15,562 --> 00:49:17,733
This isn't a game, Z.
714
00:49:19,066 --> 00:49:21,033
I'm doing this to stop IOI.
715
00:49:21,035 --> 00:49:23,535
I'm talking about
real-world consequences.
716
00:49:23,537 --> 00:49:25,138
People suffering.
717
00:49:25,140 --> 00:49:27,006
- Actual life-and-death stuff.
- I know. I know...
718
00:49:27,008 --> 00:49:31,910
No, you don't know! My dad
died in a loyalty center.
719
00:49:31,912 --> 00:49:35,080
- He borrowed gear.
- He built up debt.
720
00:49:35,082 --> 00:49:38,584
He moved in with the promise of
working it off, but he never did.
721
00:49:38,586 --> 00:49:40,486
IOI just raised
his living expenses,
722
00:49:40,488 --> 00:49:42,053
then he got sick, and he
couldn't afford to get out.
723
00:49:42,055 --> 00:49:44,557
And then he died!
724
00:49:44,559 --> 00:49:45,925
I'm so sorry, I didn't...
725
00:49:45,927 --> 00:49:48,026
No, you don't live
in the real world, Z.
726
00:49:48,028 --> 00:49:51,097
From what you've told me,
I don't think you ever have.
727
00:49:51,099 --> 00:49:54,700
You live inside this...
This illusion,
728
00:49:54,702 --> 00:49:56,705
and I can't afford
to let you distract me.
729
00:50:09,184 --> 00:50:11,716
How the hell
did they get away?
730
00:50:11,718 --> 00:50:14,019
Do you want the long version?
Your guys suck.
731
00:50:14,021 --> 00:50:15,720
They failed
to kill his avatar,
732
00:50:15,722 --> 00:50:17,957
which, if we're offering
constructive criticism,
733
00:50:17,959 --> 00:50:20,792
was a lame idea and only
would've slowed him down.
734
00:50:20,794 --> 00:50:25,131
Whereas my plan, which was cool
because I rock, actually worked.
735
00:50:25,133 --> 00:50:26,899
He's still on the board.
736
00:50:26,901 --> 00:50:30,236
I know that, Nolan.
But he won't be for long.
737
00:50:30,238 --> 00:50:32,205
I did a search
for all the Wades
738
00:50:32,207 --> 00:50:34,606
who had recently bought
an X1 bootsuit,
739
00:50:34,608 --> 00:50:37,809
cross-referenced that with
public records, and voila,
740
00:50:37,811 --> 00:50:41,816
which is French for...
"And then I found out."
741
00:50:42,249 --> 00:50:44,216
Ready?
742
00:50:44,218 --> 00:50:48,456
The real-world identity
of Parzival is Wade Watts.
743
00:50:49,256 --> 00:50:50,793
Voila.
744
00:50:52,494 --> 00:50:55,193
Are you loyal, Ms. Zandor?
745
00:50:55,195 --> 00:50:57,162
You really want me
to answer that?
746
00:50:57,164 --> 00:50:58,731
Well, when you're at war,
747
00:50:58,733 --> 00:51:01,767
you need people
who are loyal to a fault.
748
00:51:01,769 --> 00:51:03,635
People you can count on
to get things done.
749
00:51:03,637 --> 00:51:06,104
I just get people arrested
for not paying their bills.
750
00:51:06,106 --> 00:51:09,242
Yeah, 'cause there are some problems
that require a physical solution,
751
00:51:09,244 --> 00:51:11,810
but there are other times,
particularly at war,
752
00:51:11,812 --> 00:51:13,513
when you need
a different set of rules.
753
00:51:13,515 --> 00:51:15,146
- The rules of war.
- Exactly.
754
00:51:15,148 --> 00:51:17,950
It's too bad my division doesn't
operate inside the OASIS.
755
00:51:17,952 --> 00:51:20,852
Yeah, but if this war
remains in the OASIS,
756
00:51:20,854 --> 00:51:23,256
then you can't do anything.
757
00:51:23,258 --> 00:51:26,191
So, this is one of those conversations
that we're not really having.
758
00:51:26,193 --> 00:51:27,959
Well, we've had these kind
of conversations before,
759
00:51:27,961 --> 00:51:29,695
and look where you are now.
760
00:51:29,697 --> 00:51:31,997
You got a seat on the board,
head of your own division,
761
00:51:31,999 --> 00:51:35,667
a division that will cease to exist if
the wrong person wins this contest.
762
00:51:35,669 --> 00:51:39,004
F'Nale, a game decides
our fate.
763
00:51:39,006 --> 00:51:42,778
The only question is, how far
are we willing to go to win it?
764
00:51:44,979 --> 00:51:47,015
Tell me what you need, Nolan.
765
00:53:05,392 --> 00:53:06,894
Whoa.
766
00:53:10,731 --> 00:53:12,397
Where am I?
767
00:53:12,399 --> 00:53:14,635
IOI Plaza. You're a
hologram in the real world.
768
00:53:15,369 --> 00:53:17,236
That's a really cool rig.
769
00:53:17,238 --> 00:53:21,272
Thank you. It's a brand-new
Habashaw, OIR 9400.
770
00:53:21,274 --> 00:53:23,274
It looks like
a giant hamster ball.
771
00:53:23,276 --> 00:53:28,046
You know, if you came to work
at IOI, you'd get one of these.
772
00:53:28,048 --> 00:53:29,981
I don't clan up.
773
00:53:29,983 --> 00:53:32,218
You'd also get your own
penthouse apartment in Columbus
774
00:53:32,220 --> 00:53:34,285
with the
highest-speed connection.
775
00:53:34,287 --> 00:53:39,892
In the OASIS, you'd get unlimited
weapons, magic items, ships.
776
00:53:39,894 --> 00:53:41,760
You want the ship
from Defender?
777
00:53:41,762 --> 00:53:44,296
You know, the kind that can
just jump into hyperspace?
778
00:53:44,298 --> 00:53:46,334
You want
the Millennium Falcon?
779
00:53:47,300 --> 00:53:48,767
You have that?
780
00:53:48,769 --> 00:53:51,403
Anything you need
to help you find that egg,
781
00:53:51,405 --> 00:53:52,907
and then there's the salary.
782
00:53:54,075 --> 00:53:56,175
Four million a year.
783
00:53:56,177 --> 00:53:59,778
And if you do happen to find that
Easter egg, there's a bonus.
784
00:53:59,780 --> 00:54:02,016
Twenty-five million dollars.
785
00:54:07,454 --> 00:54:11,022
I can see you're using
emotion-suppressing software right now,
786
00:54:11,024 --> 00:54:13,861
and why wouldn't you? It's
smart, not to show your hand.
787
00:54:19,367 --> 00:54:23,037
It is a lot of money.
I could really use it.
788
00:54:28,041 --> 00:54:30,443
But I don't think you and I
would have the same plans.
789
00:54:30,445 --> 00:54:33,479
Well, I don't know about that.
What, for the OASIS?
790
00:54:33,481 --> 00:54:36,418
I guess if you're not
a John Hughes fan...
791
00:54:37,785 --> 00:54:39,318
Of course I am.
792
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,153
Because the first thing
that I would do
793
00:54:42,155 --> 00:54:45,890
is convert all the schools
on Ludus to replicas
794
00:54:45,892 --> 00:54:49,060
from The Breakfast Club
and Ferris Bueller.
795
00:54:49,062 --> 00:54:52,231
No way. That's a great idea.
796
00:54:52,233 --> 00:54:54,499
Which school,
Ridgemont or Faber?
797
00:54:54,501 --> 00:54:57,803
Fast Times at Ridgemont High,
not John Hughes.
798
00:54:57,805 --> 00:55:01,039
It's a trap. Faber College
from Animal House.
799
00:55:01,041 --> 00:55:02,475
John Hughes didn't direct
800
00:55:02,477 --> 00:55:05,477
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
or Animal House.
801
00:55:05,479 --> 00:55:09,013
Ferris Bueller and The Breakfast Club,
they went to Shermer High School,
802
00:55:09,015 --> 00:55:12,350
which is in Shermer, Illinois.
I know what you think.
803
00:55:12,352 --> 00:55:14,253
You think
I'm a corporate asshole,
804
00:55:14,255 --> 00:55:17,455
that I don't appreciate
pop culture, but...
805
00:55:17,457 --> 00:55:20,760
Man, that's not true. You know,
when I wanna blow off steam...
806
00:55:20,762 --> 00:55:24,530
Drink Tab, play Robotron,
listen to Duran Duran.
807
00:55:24,532 --> 00:55:26,332
I crack open a Tab.
808
00:55:26,334 --> 00:55:28,533
I put on some Duran Duran.
I play Robotron.
809
00:55:28,535 --> 00:55:30,870
That's why I love the OASIS.
810
00:55:30,872 --> 00:55:34,205
'Cause it's just full
of all these things, man,
811
00:55:34,207 --> 00:55:35,476
that people love. You know?
812
00:55:43,550 --> 00:55:46,050
I'm a businessman. I get it.
813
00:55:46,052 --> 00:55:48,854
But I gotta do my job.
814
00:55:48,856 --> 00:55:54,392
But I didn't ask you here just
to help us find the egg, Parzival.
815
00:55:54,394 --> 00:55:58,365
I asked you here
for what comes after.
816
00:55:59,399 --> 00:56:01,235
What would Halliday say?
817
00:56:02,302 --> 00:56:04,972
James Halliday is dead.
818
00:56:06,273 --> 00:56:10,276
Yeah. He is.
819
00:56:10,278 --> 00:56:15,213
All that's left of him is this contest.
And you know what?
820
00:56:15,215 --> 00:56:17,582
It just seems like he
wouldn't want you winning it.
821
00:56:17,584 --> 00:56:19,584
A fanboy knows a hater,
822
00:56:19,586 --> 00:56:21,452
and I know you've got a whole
department of oologists in your ear.
823
00:56:21,454 --> 00:56:23,923
So, if you wanna know
what I really think...
824
00:56:23,925 --> 00:56:25,392
I think you're full of shit.
825
00:56:30,564 --> 00:56:32,430
Here's my offer.
826
00:56:32,432 --> 00:56:33,932
Your board of directors,
you got them in the other ear?
827
00:56:33,934 --> 00:56:35,803
Why don't you tell 'em this.
828
00:56:37,003 --> 00:56:39,604
If they dump you,
I'll consider it.
829
00:56:39,606 --> 00:56:41,842
I might say something
off the record.
830
00:56:42,910 --> 00:56:44,943
I had to make the offer.
831
00:56:44,945 --> 00:56:47,946
The board expected it, but I was
really hoping you'd say no.
832
00:56:47,948 --> 00:56:51,350
Because if anyone's gonna win
this competition, it's me.
833
00:56:51,352 --> 00:56:53,419
My avatar gets the egg
834
00:56:53,421 --> 00:56:56,588
'cause I'm the only one here with
the balls to run this place.
835
00:56:56,590 --> 00:56:59,291
Wow, you really
switched gears there.
836
00:56:59,293 --> 00:57:02,361
From fairly reasonable
to maniacal overlord.
837
00:57:02,363 --> 00:57:05,363
You should be grateful, Wade.
838
00:57:05,365 --> 00:57:08,600
You won't be around
to endure my maniacal reign.
839
00:57:08,602 --> 00:57:10,602
Yeah, that's right.
I know who you are.
840
00:57:10,604 --> 00:57:15,640
Wade Owen Watts,
born August 12, 2027.
841
00:57:15,642 --> 00:57:19,644
I also know where you are.
Unit 56K, Columbus stacks.
842
00:57:19,646 --> 00:57:22,615
You were last seen entering
your trailer three days ago.
843
00:57:22,617 --> 00:57:24,048
You haven't left since.
844
00:57:24,050 --> 00:57:25,383
What are you doing?
You can't...
845
00:57:25,385 --> 00:57:26,986
With all that's going on
in the world,
846
00:57:26,988 --> 00:57:28,354
do you really think that
anyone's gonna give a damn
847
00:57:28,356 --> 00:57:29,888
about an explosion
848
00:57:29,890 --> 00:57:32,457
in some ghetto trash
rat warren in Columbus?
849
00:57:32,459 --> 00:57:34,492
Sorrento, don't do this.
I'm not even there!
850
00:57:34,494 --> 00:57:36,530
Not for long.
851
00:57:40,233 --> 00:57:42,468
Call Alice.
852
00:57:42,470 --> 00:57:44,139
Dial Alice.
853
00:58:10,664 --> 00:58:12,499
Pick up! Pick up! Alice!
854
00:58:17,604 --> 00:58:20,071
This bootsuit's pretty awesome.
Thanks for that.
855
00:58:20,073 --> 00:58:22,173
Rick! Rick, the place
is gonna blow!
856
00:58:22,175 --> 00:58:23,675
Rick, is that Wade?
857
00:58:23,677 --> 00:58:25,678
- Put Alice on!
- Let me talk to him.
858
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,680
Don't call here anymore,
you got me?
859
00:58:29,383 --> 00:58:32,120
I don't wanna hear your voice
ever again.
860
00:59:09,155 --> 00:59:13,559
Contact Aech, Daito,
Sho, and Art3mis.
861
00:59:13,561 --> 00:59:15,760
IOI came for me
in the real world.
862
00:59:15,762 --> 00:59:18,564
They gotta be coming after
you, so wherever you are...
863
00:59:44,624 --> 00:59:46,658
Sorry about the blindfold.
864
00:59:46,660 --> 00:59:48,596
My guys are a little paranoid.
865
00:59:49,662 --> 00:59:51,662
Say that again.
866
00:59:51,664 --> 00:59:54,201
My guys are a little paranoid.
867
00:59:55,336 --> 00:59:56,571
Art3mis?
868
00:59:58,338 --> 01:00:02,343
My real name is Samantha,
but yeah, I'm Art3mis.
869
01:00:04,278 --> 01:00:06,747
Showers are that way,
clean clothes, too.
870
01:00:10,283 --> 01:00:14,289
Welcome to the rebellion,
Wade.
871
01:00:25,499 --> 01:00:30,803
That's IOI.
So the stacks are over there?
872
01:00:30,805 --> 01:00:33,608
We've been living this close
to each other the whole time?
873
01:00:35,309 --> 01:00:37,475
Next door,
874
01:00:37,477 --> 01:00:41,515
around the world, it's... it's
all the same in the OASIS.
875
01:00:43,818 --> 01:00:46,417
For the record,
876
01:00:46,419 --> 01:00:47,718
um...
877
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:51,722
I'm not disappointed.
878
01:00:51,724 --> 01:00:54,827
You said I... I would be
disappointed when I met you, but...
879
01:00:54,829 --> 01:00:58,263
I'm not.
880
01:00:58,265 --> 01:01:01,036
I've lived with it my whole life.
You don't have to pretend.
881
01:01:15,615 --> 01:01:18,352
You have a birthmark, so what?
882
01:01:19,285 --> 01:01:20,755
Why would that scare me?
883
01:01:28,229 --> 01:01:30,863
Z, if I hurt you,
I'm... I'm sorry.
884
01:01:30,865 --> 01:01:32,865
No, it's...
885
01:01:32,867 --> 01:01:36,367
Wait, did... did you
just call me "Z"?
886
01:01:36,369 --> 01:01:38,403
- Oh, my God. Did I?
- I think you did.
887
01:01:38,405 --> 01:01:40,271
Wade, I'm sorry.
888
01:01:40,273 --> 01:01:42,608
Yeah, Wade, Z.
889
01:01:42,610 --> 01:01:45,910
You can call me whatever you want.
And I'll call you Sam.
890
01:01:45,912 --> 01:01:46,912
No.
891
01:01:47,847 --> 01:01:49,548
Uh, Samantha?
892
01:01:49,550 --> 01:01:51,753
Okay. Cool.
893
01:01:58,892 --> 01:02:00,794
Wow.
894
01:02:01,662 --> 01:02:03,731
It's so much slower here.
895
01:02:04,932 --> 01:02:08,436
I mean, the wind,
the people...
896
01:02:10,336 --> 01:02:12,139
Everything.
897
01:02:17,410 --> 01:02:19,845
We forget what it's like
to be outside.
898
01:02:19,847 --> 01:02:20,849
Yeah.
899
01:02:24,184 --> 01:02:27,653
- Uh...
- Oh, shit!
900
01:02:27,655 --> 01:02:29,321
- I just figured it out.
- Figured what out?
901
01:02:29,323 --> 01:02:30,803
The second clue.
I know what it means.
902
01:02:36,896 --> 01:02:38,963
We've been thinking about it
too literally.
903
01:02:38,965 --> 01:02:40,698
"The leap not taken,"
904
01:02:40,700 --> 01:02:42,934
the leap Halliday didn't take,
is with Kira.
905
01:02:42,936 --> 01:02:46,771
Yeah, but... I mean, he blamed her
for breaking up him and Morrow.
906
01:02:46,773 --> 01:02:49,707
No. Halliday was madly
in love with her.
907
01:02:49,709 --> 01:02:51,943
He had a chance with Kira. He had
a chance to kiss her, but...
908
01:02:51,945 --> 01:02:53,477
He didn't take the leap.
909
01:02:53,479 --> 01:02:57,216
Right. So that's where
we go next.
910
01:02:57,218 --> 01:02:58,783
The place where the leap
wasn't taken.
911
01:02:58,785 --> 01:03:00,452
Where the date was.
912
01:03:00,454 --> 01:03:02,620
At the movies!
913
01:03:02,622 --> 01:03:04,388
Hey, Curator.
914
01:03:04,390 --> 01:03:06,390
We figured out the second clue.
The challenge is here.
915
01:03:06,392 --> 01:03:08,459
Halliday kept track of every
movie he ever watched,
916
01:03:08,461 --> 01:03:11,530
the week and the year he watched
it, and how many times.
917
01:03:11,532 --> 01:03:16,300
Curator, can we see
November 23 to 27, 2025?
918
01:03:16,302 --> 01:03:18,102
That's the week
he went on the date with Kira.
919
01:03:22,709 --> 01:03:26,345
Okay, so our options for that
week are The Fly remake.
920
01:03:26,347 --> 01:03:28,479
Great flick,
terrible date movie.
921
01:03:28,481 --> 01:03:31,984
Say Anything...
That would make sense.
922
01:03:31,986 --> 01:03:36,357
We gotta remember the clue. "A
creator who hates his own creation."
923
01:03:41,028 --> 01:03:42,995
The Shining!
924
01:03:42,997 --> 01:03:45,263
It's Halliday's
11th favorite horror film,
925
01:03:45,265 --> 01:03:47,666
and it's based on the best-selling
book by Stephen King,
926
01:03:47,668 --> 01:03:49,267
who hated the movie!
927
01:03:49,269 --> 01:03:51,370
Hey! No side chitchat.
928
01:03:51,372 --> 01:03:52,674
I think we found it.
929
01:03:56,443 --> 01:03:58,977
Are you absolutely sure
you want to go here?
930
01:03:58,979 --> 01:04:01,046
Absolutely positive.
931
01:04:01,048 --> 01:04:03,881
Let's hope
you have the belly for it.
932
01:04:46,827 --> 01:04:47,928
Look.
933
01:04:49,430 --> 01:04:51,595
Ticking clock.
934
01:04:51,597 --> 01:04:54,334
Okay, so I'm estimating about
935
01:04:55,436 --> 01:04:57,468
five minutes to find the key.
936
01:04:57,470 --> 01:04:59,104
Yeah, there are so many keys
in The Shining, though.
937
01:04:59,106 --> 01:05:01,939
Where do we start?
938
01:05:01,941 --> 01:05:05,343
I've never seen The Shining.
Is it really scary?
939
01:05:05,345 --> 01:05:09,080
Uh, I had to watch it
through my fingers.
940
01:05:09,082 --> 01:05:12,050
Okay, so we got the key
from room 237,
941
01:05:12,052 --> 01:05:13,952
the keys to the Snowcat,
942
01:05:13,954 --> 01:05:15,986
or the keys they give Jack
at the beginning of the movie.
943
01:05:15,988 --> 01:05:17,789
Well,
if it's "the leap not taken,"
944
01:05:17,791 --> 01:05:19,057
maybe the key
isn't a key at all.
945
01:05:19,059 --> 01:05:20,124
I know
where the Snowcat keys are!
946
01:05:20,126 --> 01:05:21,526
I say we split up.
947
01:05:21,528 --> 01:05:22,993
We get all the keys
948
01:05:22,995 --> 01:05:24,955
and then we meet back
at the Torrances' apartment.
949
01:05:28,669 --> 01:05:30,305
Hello, Danny.
950
01:05:31,537 --> 01:05:33,138
Come play with us.
951
01:05:33,140 --> 01:05:36,544
Little girls, y'all know
how to get out of here?
952
01:05:41,548 --> 01:05:42,713
Wait, wait!
953
01:05:42,715 --> 01:05:44,850
Wait, where's Aech?
954
01:05:44,852 --> 01:05:45,920
Wait!
955
01:05:47,019 --> 01:05:48,021
Aech!
956
01:05:49,021 --> 01:05:50,057
No, no, no, no!
957
01:06:08,108 --> 01:06:09,910
Ahh!
958
01:06:14,648 --> 01:06:16,017
Ahh!
959
01:06:49,749 --> 01:06:52,617
Oh, uh, hi, naked lady.
I'm sorry.
960
01:06:52,619 --> 01:06:54,718
I didn't mean to interrupt,
uh, your bath time.
961
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:56,787
Uh, I know self-care
can be important.
962
01:06:56,789 --> 01:06:59,893
Uh, but can you do me a favor and
tell me, where are all the exits?
963
01:07:03,530 --> 01:07:05,095
Huh. Whoa.
964
01:07:05,097 --> 01:07:07,466
Okay, am I being punked?
965
01:07:07,468 --> 01:07:09,803
'Cause you're likin' me
a little way too much.
966
01:07:11,171 --> 01:07:13,474
All right, you know what?
I'ma go with it.
967
01:07:27,053 --> 01:07:28,088
Ahh!
968
01:08:05,224 --> 01:08:06,825
Time's running out.
969
01:08:06,827 --> 01:08:08,959
Yo, Z, is Art3mis
pissed at me?
970
01:08:08,961 --> 01:08:11,162
Dude, I'm pissed at you. You've
never seen The Shining, have you?
971
01:08:11,164 --> 01:08:12,763
You know I hate scary movies!
972
01:08:12,765 --> 01:08:13,932
We got the key.
973
01:08:13,934 --> 01:08:15,133
Sweet! To room 237!
974
01:08:15,135 --> 01:08:17,868
We ain't got no business
goin' to room 237!
975
01:08:17,870 --> 01:08:19,670
We should stay out!
976
01:08:19,672 --> 01:08:21,305
Plus, there was this crazy,
naked zombie lady in there.
977
01:08:21,307 --> 01:08:23,008
There are no zombies
in The Shining.
978
01:08:23,010 --> 01:08:24,975
Well, maybe it's not supposed
to be like the movie.
979
01:08:24,977 --> 01:08:26,678
Kira is the key.
You're the one who said it.
980
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:28,880
Hey, y'all.
I saw a picture of Kira!
981
01:08:28,882 --> 01:08:30,952
Huh?
982
01:08:33,287 --> 01:08:34,521
Where?
983
01:08:41,328 --> 01:08:45,664
It's Kira.
"Escape your past."
984
01:08:45,666 --> 01:08:48,866
"The leap not taken."
985
01:08:48,868 --> 01:08:50,868
Halliday's greatest fear
wasn't The Shining
986
01:08:50,870 --> 01:08:53,338
or any book or movie.
987
01:08:53,340 --> 01:08:56,907
His biggest fear
was kissing a girl.
988
01:08:56,909 --> 01:09:00,277
That's the leap
he couldn't take.
989
01:09:07,220 --> 01:09:09,056
The ballroom.
990
01:09:23,703 --> 01:09:25,773
Aech, come on.
991
01:09:29,376 --> 01:09:31,145
Zombies. Told you.
992
01:09:32,779 --> 01:09:34,015
That's her.
993
01:09:35,114 --> 01:09:36,751
That's Kira.
994
01:09:39,619 --> 01:09:41,620
None of this
is in The Shining.
995
01:09:41,622 --> 01:09:43,888
Z, look. That's the zombie-circle
level in Mayhem Mansion,
996
01:09:43,890 --> 01:09:45,322
one of Halliday's first games.
997
01:09:45,324 --> 01:09:47,294
The whole Shining trivia
is just a diversion.
998
01:09:48,361 --> 01:09:50,131
One minute left.
999
01:09:51,398 --> 01:09:52,930
How do we get to her?
1000
01:09:52,932 --> 01:09:54,098
Take the leap.
1001
01:09:54,100 --> 01:09:55,101
Wait!
1002
01:09:56,336 --> 01:09:57,605
Whoa!
1003
01:10:03,275 --> 01:10:06,243
Okay, Mr. Dead Guy.
Cool if I lead?
1004
01:10:53,859 --> 01:10:56,161
Care to dance?
1005
01:10:56,163 --> 01:10:59,633
Do you know how long I've
been waiting for you to ask?
1006
01:11:05,305 --> 01:11:08,106
Well, well, well.
1007
01:11:08,108 --> 01:11:12,279
So you found my Jade Key.
1008
01:11:14,980 --> 01:11:16,883
Imagine that.
1009
01:11:21,887 --> 01:11:23,256
Thank you.
1010
01:11:28,227 --> 01:11:30,297
- Kira was a very beautiful...
- Go on.
1011
01:11:59,359 --> 01:12:02,426
One of our oologists saw them
enter the media library.
1012
01:12:02,428 --> 01:12:04,094
She cracked the clue.
1013
01:12:04,096 --> 01:12:07,898
Now, we just have to win
The Shining challenge.
1014
01:12:10,236 --> 01:12:13,036
Get her off me!
Get her off me!
1015
01:12:22,449 --> 01:12:26,954
Mr. Sorrento, I really think
you need to see this.
1016
01:12:29,088 --> 01:12:30,890
Now Parzival's
got the Jade Key.
1017
01:12:41,301 --> 01:12:43,500
He's alive.
1018
01:12:43,502 --> 01:12:46,437
I know. I'll get back to you.
1019
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:48,441
I got what you're looking for.
1020
01:12:52,578 --> 01:12:56,783
Freeze. This guy.
The one with the lame tattoo.
1021
01:12:57,383 --> 01:12:58,551
Enlarge.
1022
01:13:01,087 --> 01:13:04,322
Run him through our database,
every IOI drone in Columbus.
1023
01:13:04,324 --> 01:13:05,760
Find him.
1024
01:13:32,484 --> 01:13:34,419
Groceries are here.
1025
01:13:34,421 --> 01:13:35,920
All right. Gluten-O's...
1026
01:13:35,922 --> 01:13:37,155
"If you know
the answer ultimate,
1027
01:13:37,157 --> 01:13:39,424
"divide it
by the number magic,
1028
01:13:39,426 --> 01:13:42,259
"and what you need, want, and desire
will be found in the fortress tragic."
1029
01:13:42,261 --> 01:13:44,362
"Tragic," that's gotta be
Halliday referring to himself.
1030
01:13:44,364 --> 01:13:45,463
Why?
1031
01:13:45,465 --> 01:13:47,264
Because he was lonely.
1032
01:13:47,266 --> 01:13:49,166
He had no one to spend his
life with towards the end.
1033
01:13:49,168 --> 01:13:51,268
Yeah, that's true.
1034
01:13:51,270 --> 01:13:53,204
The contest has gotta be somehow
about connecting with someone.
1035
01:13:53,206 --> 01:13:54,572
Anyone.
1036
01:13:54,574 --> 01:13:56,273
He wants the person
who cares for the OASIS
1037
01:13:56,275 --> 01:13:57,975
to be connected
with the world.
1038
01:13:57,977 --> 01:14:00,447
That's what I think
he's trying to tell us.
1039
01:14:06,453 --> 01:14:08,055
Wade.
1040
01:14:10,123 --> 01:14:12,456
You understand Halliday.
1041
01:14:12,458 --> 01:14:16,160
You know him
better than anyone.
1042
01:14:16,162 --> 01:14:19,162
It's exactly
why I think you'll win.
1043
01:14:19,164 --> 01:14:22,970
Really? You really think
I'm gonna win?
1044
01:14:26,907 --> 01:14:28,441
Do not move!
1045
01:14:34,079 --> 01:14:35,515
Target identified!
1046
01:14:36,583 --> 01:14:38,152
Freeze! Don't move!
1047
01:14:45,025 --> 01:14:47,658
- This leads right to the alley.
- You first.
1048
01:14:47,660 --> 01:14:49,329
I'm right behind you. Go now!
1049
01:14:50,931 --> 01:14:52,530
Come on!
1050
01:14:52,532 --> 01:14:55,032
- Wade, the OASIS needs you.
- What?
1051
01:14:55,034 --> 01:14:56,334
- I'm gonna delay them.
- Wait!
1052
01:14:56,336 --> 01:14:58,568
No, no, no, wait! No, no, no!
1053
01:14:58,570 --> 01:15:00,940
You'll forgive me
for this, I promise.
1054
01:15:10,182 --> 01:15:11,551
Freeze, freeze, freeze!
1055
01:15:12,584 --> 01:15:13,587
Don't move!
1056
01:15:19,092 --> 01:15:21,591
Samantha Evelyn Cook.
1057
01:15:21,593 --> 01:15:25,463
IOI has purchased and consolidated
all of your outstanding debt,
1058
01:15:25,465 --> 01:15:28,732
currently in excess
of 23,000 credits.
1059
01:15:28,734 --> 01:15:31,602
You will be remanded to the
nearest IOI loyalty center
1060
01:15:31,604 --> 01:15:33,103
until your debt
is paid in full,
1061
01:15:33,105 --> 01:15:35,706
including any interest,
processing,
1062
01:15:35,708 --> 01:15:38,576
or late fees
you incur henceforth.
1063
01:15:38,578 --> 01:15:41,138
Does anybody have eyes? MAN
2: Check down the next street!
1064
01:15:53,592 --> 01:15:55,593
- "First to the key."
- "First to the egg."
1065
01:15:55,595 --> 01:15:58,095
Wait, what?
1066
01:15:58,097 --> 01:16:01,465
"Never trust someone you meet
in the OASIS."
1067
01:16:01,467 --> 01:16:04,102
"She might be a 300-pound dude
named Chuck..."
1068
01:16:04,104 --> 01:16:07,307
"Who lives in his mama's
basement in suburban Detroit."
1069
01:16:09,676 --> 01:16:11,608
Aech!
1070
01:16:11,610 --> 01:16:15,114
Helen. My dad called me "H."
It kinda stuck. Let's go!
1071
01:16:24,791 --> 01:16:27,160
That thing's IDing my van.
1072
01:16:41,807 --> 01:16:44,011
Come on. They've spotted us.
1073
01:16:44,644 --> 01:16:46,443
Daito.
1074
01:16:46,445 --> 01:16:49,280
My real name is Toshiro.
Samantha got us a message.
1075
01:16:49,282 --> 01:16:51,115
She told us to meet you here.
1076
01:16:51,117 --> 01:16:52,517
Samantha,
they took her to the...
1077
01:16:52,519 --> 01:16:54,551
The loyalty center, I know.
1078
01:16:54,553 --> 01:16:58,121
Look, in other awesome news, the
Sixers found the third challenge.
1079
01:16:58,123 --> 01:16:59,823
- What?
- Just come on, get in!
1080
01:16:59,825 --> 01:17:01,224
All right. Let's go.
1081
01:17:01,226 --> 01:17:03,363
Hurry up.
Go, go, go. All right.
1082
01:17:15,141 --> 01:17:17,642
How did IOI find
the third challenge so fast?
1083
01:17:17,644 --> 01:17:19,743
IOI cracked the first
three lines of the clue,
1084
01:17:19,745 --> 01:17:21,411
so they knew it was sector 14
1085
01:17:21,413 --> 01:17:22,813
but they couldn't figure out
"the fortress tragic."
1086
01:17:22,815 --> 01:17:25,415
So they sent every guide
they had into that sector
1087
01:17:25,417 --> 01:17:27,320
until they found
the right fortress.
1088
01:17:28,421 --> 01:17:29,687
Sho?
1089
01:17:29,689 --> 01:17:32,189
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm 11, so what?
1090
01:17:32,191 --> 01:17:34,224
His real name is Xo.
1091
01:17:34,226 --> 01:17:36,794
But everyone else calls
me Sho, no big deal.
1092
01:17:36,796 --> 01:17:39,764
No. It is a big deal.
1093
01:17:39,766 --> 01:17:43,334
Sho, you're the world's most
badass 11-year-old ever.
1094
01:17:43,336 --> 01:17:44,402
He knows.
1095
01:17:44,404 --> 01:17:46,603
Shut up! Let him tell me.
1096
01:17:46,605 --> 01:17:47,673
Aech!
1097
01:17:51,211 --> 01:17:52,710
We have to go save Samantha.
1098
01:17:52,712 --> 01:17:55,278
Well, we can't just
go through the doors of IOI.
1099
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,514
Look, I've been thinkin' about it.
I got a better plan.
1100
01:17:57,516 --> 01:17:59,517
You saw Sorrento's rig, right?
1101
01:17:59,519 --> 01:18:01,618
Yeah.
1102
01:18:01,620 --> 01:18:03,854
Let's go after the man himself and
make him give Art3mis back to us.
1103
01:18:03,856 --> 01:18:05,755
But first,
I have to know exactly,
1104
01:18:05,757 --> 01:18:07,693
how much about Sorrento's rig
do you remember?
1105
01:18:09,361 --> 01:18:11,597
Kind of everything.
1106
01:18:25,377 --> 01:18:29,215
Maintenance,
report to loyalty pod 31-B.
1107
01:18:33,319 --> 01:18:37,691
Security, please report
to section 97 for escort.
1108
01:18:58,677 --> 01:19:01,481
Hey! Newbie, get to work.
1109
01:19:03,682 --> 01:19:05,218
Get to work.
1110
01:19:10,923 --> 01:19:14,194
Work violation.
Work violation.
1111
01:19:15,794 --> 01:19:18,832
Lay those charges
every six feet.
1112
01:19:23,903 --> 01:19:26,206
Keep it moving!
1113
01:19:27,539 --> 01:19:28,542
Hey, you!
1114
01:19:30,709 --> 01:19:32,542
Those are explosives!
1115
01:19:34,279 --> 01:19:37,481
IOI will not reimburse
any lost coin if you zero out.
1116
01:19:37,483 --> 01:19:39,218
Keep it moving!
1117
01:19:43,989 --> 01:19:46,823
So what is this challenge,
some sort of video game thing?
1118
01:19:46,825 --> 01:19:48,925
An Atari 2600, sir.
1119
01:19:48,927 --> 01:19:52,666
And every game ever made for it,
thousands of possibilities.
1120
01:19:53,498 --> 01:19:54,865
Come up!
1121
01:19:59,338 --> 01:20:00,804
Halliday,
1122
01:20:00,806 --> 01:20:02,740
this is how
you plan to resolve
1123
01:20:02,742 --> 01:20:05,977
the fate of the world's most
important economic resource?
1124
01:20:05,979 --> 01:20:07,945
- Call me when you're close.
- Yes, sir.
1125
01:20:07,947 --> 01:20:09,682
Go, go! No! Ahh!
1126
01:20:12,017 --> 01:20:14,986
One minute into Centipede,
the ice broke.
1127
01:20:14,988 --> 01:20:17,255
It has to be Joust!
1128
01:20:17,257 --> 01:20:19,991
Halliday still holds the world record
on the 2600 port of that game.
1129
01:20:19,993 --> 01:20:21,992
Maybe we just need
to beat his high score.
1130
01:20:21,994 --> 01:20:24,495
Pitfall! One of the only 2600
games that still hasn't ended.
1131
01:20:24,497 --> 01:20:25,929
And how about
those Swordquest games?
1132
01:20:25,931 --> 01:20:27,831
Yes!
The Swordquest games.
1133
01:20:27,833 --> 01:20:29,993
They were created for a contest
Atari held with real...
1134
01:20:37,577 --> 01:20:40,577
i-R0k, how are we doin'?
1135
01:20:40,579 --> 01:20:42,847
To be honest, I think I need
physical therapy because it's not...
1136
01:20:42,849 --> 01:20:44,851
Is the Orb ready?
1137
01:20:45,851 --> 01:20:47,520
Um, as you wish.
1138
01:20:51,690 --> 01:20:52,857
The Orb...
1139
01:20:52,859 --> 01:20:54,261
Of Osuvox.
1140
01:20:54,926 --> 01:20:56,294
Ah...
1141
01:20:56,296 --> 01:20:58,362
How does it work?
1142
01:20:58,364 --> 01:21:01,799
Has it got, like, a remote or
is there a button or something?
1143
01:21:01,801 --> 01:21:05,435
Nolan, it's a level-99
magic artifact,
1144
01:21:05,437 --> 01:21:09,040
not one of your drones, so it
is activated by a magic spell.
1145
01:21:09,042 --> 01:21:11,278
Would you care
to do the honors?
1146
01:22:03,061 --> 01:22:04,628
Where is she?
1147
01:22:04,630 --> 01:22:05,929
How'd you get in here?
1148
01:22:05,931 --> 01:22:06,996
- Art3mis.
- Who?
1149
01:22:06,998 --> 01:22:11,868
Samantha Cook. Where is she?
1150
01:22:11,870 --> 01:22:15,773
If you wanna talk, we can talk,
but you gotta put that gun down.
1151
01:22:15,775 --> 01:22:18,675
You killed my mom's sister.
1152
01:22:18,677 --> 01:22:20,111
You think I won't kill you?
1153
01:22:20,113 --> 01:22:24,514
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Just slow down, okay?
1154
01:22:24,516 --> 01:22:27,884
That was a corporate decision.
It was not personal.
1155
01:22:27,886 --> 01:22:29,018
Where is she?
1156
01:22:29,020 --> 01:22:31,554
She's downstairs
in the loyalty center!
1157
01:22:31,556 --> 01:22:34,892
I know she's in
the goddamn loyalty center.
1158
01:22:34,894 --> 01:22:37,161
You're gonna tell me
exactly which rig she's in
1159
01:22:37,163 --> 01:22:39,700
and the access code
to contact her.
1160
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:43,035
Yeah, that seems appropriate.
1161
01:22:45,904 --> 01:22:47,907
Start with access code.
1162
01:22:49,141 --> 01:22:51,408
6, 45, 7, 25.
1163
01:22:51,410 --> 01:22:52,678
Where's the rig?
1164
01:23:03,588 --> 01:23:05,822
I think he pissed himself.
1165
01:23:05,824 --> 01:23:07,825
Good job, Z.
We're in his account.
1166
01:23:07,827 --> 01:23:09,562
So he really doesn't know
he's in the OASIS?
1167
01:23:11,931 --> 01:23:14,532
This is what Sorrento
should be seeing,
1168
01:23:14,534 --> 01:23:18,768
but this... This is what we're
making him see.
1169
01:23:18,770 --> 01:23:21,839
We grabbed him in transit just as
he was logging out of the OASIS,
1170
01:23:21,841 --> 01:23:24,707
so he thinks he's back in his
office in the real world.
1171
01:23:24,709 --> 01:23:28,545
But actually, he's here, in the
identical office that Aech built.
1172
01:23:28,547 --> 01:23:31,048
So, you basically
just remotely hacked his rig.
1173
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:34,084
A fixed rig like Sorrento's
is easy to locate, hard to hack.
1174
01:23:34,086 --> 01:23:37,021
Unless he's stupid enough to
leave his password lying around.
1175
01:23:37,023 --> 01:23:38,222
Loyalty center, I'm in.
1176
01:23:38,224 --> 01:23:39,993
All right,
let's get to work.
1177
01:23:47,967 --> 01:23:50,099
- Arty.
- Z? Z? Z?
1178
01:23:50,101 --> 01:23:51,868
Arty, don't say anything.
1179
01:23:51,870 --> 01:23:53,806
I'm tapped directly
into your audio feed.
1180
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:56,941
How did you find me?
1181
01:23:56,943 --> 01:23:58,645
We got his password,
hacked Sorrento's rig.
1182
01:24:00,078 --> 01:24:02,746
Z, I have something
to tell you.
1183
01:24:02,748 --> 01:24:04,747
Not now. I have something to show
you that'll get you out of there.
1184
01:24:04,749 --> 01:24:08,219
The Sixers found the third challenge.
It's on Planet Doom.
1185
01:24:08,221 --> 01:24:09,753
And there's more,
they just put a force field
1186
01:24:09,755 --> 01:24:11,557
around Anorak's Castle.
1187
01:24:15,994 --> 01:24:18,661
I heard one of the guards
calling it "the Orb of Osuvox,"
1188
01:24:18,663 --> 01:24:21,232
and the only way to take it
down is from the inside.
1189
01:24:21,234 --> 01:24:24,201
She's right.
Level-99 artifact,
1190
01:24:24,203 --> 01:24:27,137
creates a magic-resistant,
impenetrable barrier.
1191
01:24:27,139 --> 01:24:29,072
No way through it.
1192
01:24:29,074 --> 01:24:30,808
Okay, listen. That's not
important right now.
1193
01:24:30,810 --> 01:24:32,810
What's important is that
we get you out of the rig.
1194
01:24:34,947 --> 01:24:37,050
All right, so I'm looking
at a diagram of your rig.
1195
01:24:39,985 --> 01:24:42,219
If you reach up with your
left hand at 11 o'clock,
1196
01:24:42,221 --> 01:24:44,191
there's some... there's a
panel above your head.
1197
01:24:48,994 --> 01:24:51,161
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I can feel it.
1198
01:24:51,163 --> 01:24:53,197
Okay, there should be
two release handles.
1199
01:24:53,199 --> 01:24:54,831
Nine o'clock and three o'clock.
Can you feel them?
1200
01:24:54,833 --> 01:24:57,037
- Yeah, I got it.
- Okay, pull it towards you.
1201
01:24:59,238 --> 01:25:01,138
Okay, inside the panel,
there's a lever.
1202
01:25:01,140 --> 01:25:03,706
Grab it with your right hand
and slide it to the left.
1203
01:25:03,708 --> 01:25:05,209
That should release you.
1204
01:25:12,284 --> 01:25:15,219
It worked. It worked, I'm out.
1205
01:25:15,221 --> 01:25:17,153
Loyalty pod 41-F,
1206
01:25:17,155 --> 01:25:20,092
you are on an authorized
break for 10 minutes.
1207
01:25:25,631 --> 01:25:28,799
Pod 41-F, you are
on 10-minute break.
1208
01:25:28,801 --> 01:25:30,904
Proceed to break area.
1209
01:25:32,203 --> 01:25:33,571
Wade, are you still there?
1210
01:25:33,573 --> 01:25:34,804
Yeah, I'm here. Where are you?
1211
01:25:34,806 --> 01:25:37,006
Where is Sorrento's office?
1212
01:25:37,008 --> 01:25:38,207
It's in the IOI war room, two
levels above where you are now.
1213
01:25:38,209 --> 01:25:40,210
But that's not the way out.
1214
01:25:40,212 --> 01:25:41,748
What's his password?
1215
01:25:43,082 --> 01:25:44,281
Wade, answer me.
1216
01:25:44,283 --> 01:25:48,218
Okay, it's capital
B-0-55-man-69.
1217
01:25:48,220 --> 01:25:50,821
But, Arty, you need to go.
1218
01:25:50,823 --> 01:25:52,092
You need to raise an army.
1219
01:25:53,025 --> 01:25:54,657
An army?
1220
01:25:54,659 --> 01:25:56,259
Get to Planet Doom,
and wait for my signal.
1221
01:25:56,261 --> 01:25:57,361
What signal?
1222
01:25:57,363 --> 01:25:59,697
I'm gonna take down
that shield.
1223
01:25:59,699 --> 01:26:01,699
Wait, Arty, wait! You gotta
get out of there! Arty!
1224
01:26:10,042 --> 01:26:12,675
Hey, how much
are they paying you?
1225
01:26:12,677 --> 01:26:14,243
'Cause, man, I got a lot of paper.
1226
01:26:14,245 --> 01:26:16,847
You know, I can make you,
like, a forest.
1227
01:26:16,849 --> 01:26:19,116
Hey, shut up.
1228
01:26:19,118 --> 01:26:20,220
Okay.
1229
01:26:42,874 --> 01:26:45,108
This isn't real,
you're tapping my feed.
1230
01:26:45,110 --> 01:26:47,113
Uh-oh. Guys.
1231
01:27:05,664 --> 01:27:08,398
F'Nale, they've hacked my rig.
They're after the girl.
1232
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:10,667
Meet me at loyalty.
1233
01:27:24,182 --> 01:27:27,785
Pod 41-F, you
have exceeded your break time.
1234
01:27:27,787 --> 01:27:31,291
Report to security or your coin
count will be reset to zero.
1235
01:27:40,466 --> 01:27:45,268
So, she just walks out of
here, how does that happen?
1236
01:27:45,270 --> 01:27:47,336
They're smart. They knew
what they were doing.
1237
01:27:47,338 --> 01:27:50,374
But we know they're in Columbus. And
now, all five of them are together.
1238
01:27:50,376 --> 01:27:52,875
Wait. Wait, we know what?
How do we know?
1239
01:27:52,877 --> 01:27:56,447
We have the make and model of the van.
We'll spot them.
1240
01:27:56,449 --> 01:27:58,782
"We'll spot them"?
1241
01:27:58,784 --> 01:28:02,018
That sounds like a great
inscription for our tombstones.
1242
01:28:02,020 --> 01:28:03,353
Why didn't you tell me
this earlier?
1243
01:28:03,355 --> 01:28:05,155
It wasn't relevant yet.
1244
01:28:05,157 --> 01:28:06,356
I need to know where they are.
1245
01:28:06,358 --> 01:28:07,957
We need to know.
We need to find them!
1246
01:28:07,959 --> 01:28:10,993
They're kids, Nolan.
Man the hell up!
1247
01:28:10,995 --> 01:28:14,197
Do your job, and I'll do mine,
unless you wanna take this
1248
01:28:14,199 --> 01:28:16,202
and go after them yourself.
1249
01:28:20,806 --> 01:28:22,042
Find them!
1250
01:28:31,050 --> 01:28:35,454
The Complete Nancy Drew,
Kegel Exercises for...
1251
01:28:37,323 --> 01:28:40,057
Bingo. Okay.
1252
01:28:40,059 --> 01:28:42,326
"Congratulations, you are the
proud owner of the Orb of Osuvox,
1253
01:28:42,328 --> 01:28:44,260
"a 99th level magic artifact.
1254
01:28:44,262 --> 01:28:47,097
"Read these instructions before deploying.
To turn orb on, off."
1255
01:28:47,099 --> 01:28:48,398
Off! Yes, off.
1256
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:50,870
"Utter spell
within 10 feet of orb."
1257
01:29:04,850 --> 01:29:07,049
Citizens of the OASIS,
1258
01:29:07,051 --> 01:29:09,887
I am Parzival,
first to the key.
1259
01:29:09,889 --> 01:29:12,923
I'm here talking to all of you now
because our future's being threatened
1260
01:29:12,925 --> 01:29:17,027
by people who will stop at
nothing to win this contest.
1261
01:29:17,029 --> 01:29:19,062
Some of you already know this,
1262
01:29:19,064 --> 01:29:23,032
and you've lost much more than
just your avatars or your weapons.
1263
01:29:23,034 --> 01:29:26,905
Some have lost their freedom.
Some have lost their lives.
1264
01:29:29,408 --> 01:29:32,209
And now, this.
1265
01:29:32,211 --> 01:29:35,148
A force field
around the third challenge.
1266
01:29:37,516 --> 01:29:41,518
I only came here to escape the
shitty hand that life dealt me.
1267
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:44,487
But I stayed,
like many of you,
1268
01:29:44,489 --> 01:29:49,593
because I found something
much bigger than just myself.
1269
01:29:49,595 --> 01:29:51,396
I found a cause.
1270
01:29:52,565 --> 01:29:55,832
I found my friends.
1271
01:29:55,834 --> 01:29:59,271
And yes, I know
it's kind of a groaner, but...
1272
01:30:00,605 --> 01:30:02,175
I found love.
1273
01:30:03,475 --> 01:30:05,107
And I don't wanna lose that
1274
01:30:05,109 --> 01:30:07,577
to this colossal douchebag,
Nolan Sorrento.
1275
01:30:07,579 --> 01:30:11,982
This guy.
Back to work, people.
1276
01:30:11,984 --> 01:30:16,253
He thinks that we're all too
distracted to even notice...
1277
01:30:16,255 --> 01:30:21,023
Nolan Sorrento thinks
that we won't put up a fight.
1278
01:30:21,025 --> 01:30:22,291
Sir! Sir!
1279
01:30:22,293 --> 01:30:24,094
This is going out live!
1280
01:30:24,096 --> 01:30:26,196
The only thing
Halliday let this guy do...
1281
01:30:26,198 --> 01:30:27,865
- It's absolutely everywhere.
- ...was get him a cup of coffee.
1282
01:30:27,867 --> 01:30:29,667
And now, we're supposed
to hand him the OASIS?
1283
01:30:36,641 --> 01:30:39,378
This Parzival...
Oh, man.
1284
01:30:43,481 --> 01:30:45,982
Come on, come on.
Give me this thing.
1285
01:30:45,984 --> 01:30:47,119
Yes, sir.
1286
01:30:47,619 --> 01:30:49,952
Left arm.
1287
01:30:49,954 --> 01:30:52,456
- Left arm!
- Sir.
1288
01:30:52,458 --> 01:30:54,457
No, I need the left arm.
1289
01:30:54,459 --> 01:30:56,529
No, I don't care if...
I want it on.
1290
01:30:58,631 --> 01:31:01,398
He thinks that we
won't even put up a fight!
1291
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:04,201
Well, I say he's wrong.
1292
01:31:04,203 --> 01:31:08,005
I say, tell that to the gunter
clans in the gold mines of Gygax.
1293
01:31:08,007 --> 01:31:11,177
Activate the Iron Giant.
1294
01:31:35,333 --> 01:31:40,403
Ask yourselves, are you willing
to zero out for the OASIS?
1295
01:31:40,405 --> 01:31:42,274
Are you willing to fight?
1296
01:31:43,542 --> 01:31:46,343
I am Parzival
of the High Five.
1297
01:31:46,345 --> 01:31:49,079
In the name of Art3mis,
in the name of Aech,
1298
01:31:49,081 --> 01:31:51,581
in the name of Daito and Sho,
1299
01:31:51,583 --> 01:31:55,352
we ask you to join us
on Planet Doom.
1300
01:31:55,354 --> 01:31:58,455
In the name
of James Halliday himself,
1301
01:31:58,457 --> 01:32:00,459
help us save the OASIS.
1302
01:32:55,480 --> 01:32:57,649
No, no, no, no.
1303
01:33:07,792 --> 01:33:10,626
"No man is a failure
who has friends."
1304
01:33:32,717 --> 01:33:35,687
Squadron 14, armor
up, you're in the lead.
1305
01:33:48,833 --> 01:33:53,236
One minute into Swordquest,
the ice broke.
1306
01:33:53,238 --> 01:33:56,807
Well, all three Swordquests.
What's next?
1307
01:33:56,809 --> 01:33:58,841
Dark Cavern, Laser Blast.
1308
01:33:58,843 --> 01:34:00,076
It's Adventure.
1309
01:34:00,078 --> 01:34:02,344
Released in 1979,
for the 2600,
1310
01:34:02,346 --> 01:34:04,414
Adventure was created by
Warren Robinett,
1311
01:34:04,416 --> 01:34:06,582
who was the first video game designer
ever to hide his name. In fact...
1312
01:34:06,584 --> 01:34:08,587
Try Adventure.
1313
01:34:09,855 --> 01:34:11,357
Play Adventure.
1314
01:35:03,742 --> 01:35:05,875
More than a minute,
we're still alive.
1315
01:35:05,877 --> 01:35:07,911
This must be the right game.
1316
01:35:14,886 --> 01:35:17,657
How long does it last,
this orb thing?
1317
01:35:24,930 --> 01:35:27,898
I'd say about ten...
1318
01:35:27,900 --> 01:35:31,268
Yeah, about 10 million years,
so we should be fine.
1319
01:35:48,453 --> 01:35:50,320
First to the key!
1320
01:35:50,322 --> 01:35:51,955
First to the egg!
1321
01:35:51,957 --> 01:35:53,590
First to the egg!
1322
01:35:53,592 --> 01:35:54,823
First to the egg!

01:35:58,262 --> 01:36:01,630

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
1337
01:37:16,440 --> 01:37:19,009
The Sixers are in the final challenge.
It's an Atari 2600.
1338
01:37:19,011 --> 01:37:21,443
Are you in the Sixer war room?
1339
01:37:21,445 --> 01:37:23,045
No, no, no.
You gotta get out of there.
1340
01:37:23,047 --> 01:37:25,348
They're playing Adventure.
1341
01:37:25,350 --> 01:37:27,750
Adventure, of course!
1342
01:37:27,752 --> 01:37:29,551
Created by Warren Robinett!
1343
01:37:29,553 --> 01:37:30,887
He was the first designer to
ever hide an Easter egg in...
1344
01:37:30,889 --> 01:37:31,891
Dude!
1345
01:37:36,927 --> 01:37:39,963
We're looking for a USPS
truck, Ohio plates,
1346
01:37:39,965 --> 01:37:42,968
a drone spitter, 2036 model.
1347
01:38:01,552 --> 01:38:04,890
Daito! When are you
getting into this fight?
1348
01:38:18,904 --> 01:38:19,935
I'm out. Inventory's empty.
1349
01:38:19,937 --> 01:38:21,103
Last clip for me.
1350
01:38:21,105 --> 01:38:22,505
More weapons!
1351
01:38:22,507 --> 01:38:24,674
Anti-personnel
ordinance cannon!
1352
01:38:24,676 --> 01:38:26,611
Anti-personnel
ordinance cannon!
1353
01:38:29,581 --> 01:38:31,014
Railgun!
1354
01:38:31,016 --> 01:38:32,051
Railgun!
1355
01:38:37,456 --> 01:38:38,955
Yo, Z!
1356
01:38:38,957 --> 01:38:42,794
Yo, Z! Try this little guy.
1357
01:38:46,364 --> 01:38:48,031
Ow!
1358
01:38:48,033 --> 01:38:49,869
Get rid of it! Get rid of it!
1359
01:38:51,002 --> 01:38:52,868
It's fucking Chucky!
1360
01:38:58,142 --> 01:39:00,009
Move! Move!
1361
01:39:00,011 --> 01:39:01,714
Go, go, go!
1362
01:39:59,503 --> 01:40:01,070
Mechagodzilla!
1363
01:40:22,194 --> 01:40:25,695
Daito, we need you!
Daito, now!
1364
01:40:25,697 --> 01:40:27,930
Get to the bridge.
Go now, he's distracted.
1365
01:40:27,932 --> 01:40:28,934
Go, go, go.
1366
01:41:10,275 --> 01:41:11,275
Z!
1367
01:41:31,195 --> 01:41:32,996
Arty!
1368
01:41:32,998 --> 01:41:35,038
Get to the castle! Win the
third key before they do!
1369
01:41:46,310 --> 01:41:48,010
What is that?
1370
01:41:48,012 --> 01:41:50,181
He's only got 30 seconds
before changing back!
1371
01:42:01,626 --> 01:42:04,497
Daito, abort, abort!
You got 10 seconds!
1372
01:42:19,176 --> 01:42:20,176
First to the egg!
1373
01:42:59,850 --> 01:43:01,119
Shit, it's her.
1374
01:43:21,206 --> 01:43:24,340
Arty! Arty!
1375
01:43:24,342 --> 01:43:27,076
Z! Got to get
to the castle!
1376
01:43:33,083 --> 01:43:35,653
She never left.
She's still here.
1377
01:43:38,422 --> 01:43:40,223
The girl's in the war room.
1378
01:44:18,296 --> 01:44:19,832
No, no, no.
1379
01:44:33,977 --> 01:44:36,315
Sho! Hang on!
1380
01:44:55,967 --> 01:44:57,336
No!
1381
01:45:20,024 --> 01:45:21,924
Arty, we've got this.
You need to log out.
1382
01:45:21,926 --> 01:45:24,493
If the game is Adventure,
why haven't they won yet?
1383
01:45:24,495 --> 01:45:26,362
I don't know. Arty, Arty.
1384
01:45:26,364 --> 01:45:28,300
I'm serious, Sorrento's crazy.
He'll kill you.
1385
01:45:30,534 --> 01:45:32,501
What are you looking at?
1386
01:45:32,503 --> 01:45:34,439
There's nothing over there.
1387
01:45:35,507 --> 01:45:36,707
You're in trouble, aren't you?
1388
01:45:39,944 --> 01:45:43,513
Samantha, you know I love you.
1389
01:45:43,515 --> 01:45:44,880
Not the time, Z.
1390
01:45:44,882 --> 01:45:46,448
I can handle the challenge,
1391
01:45:46,450 --> 01:45:49,417
but I can't let you get hurt
in the real world.
1392
01:45:49,419 --> 01:45:52,390
Get out of IOI,
and meet us at River South.
1393
01:45:58,962 --> 01:46:00,496
Wade, no.
1394
01:46:00,498 --> 01:46:02,564
You'll forgive me
for this, I promise.
1395
01:46:02,566 --> 01:46:03,566
Wade, no, no, no.
1396
01:46:13,811 --> 01:46:17,280
Get it together, Sixer.
Back to respawn.
1397
01:46:17,282 --> 01:46:18,414
Let's go, move.
1398
01:46:18,416 --> 01:46:19,818
You're in.
1399
01:46:38,101 --> 01:46:40,536
Holy hand grenade!
How much did that cost?
1400
01:46:40,538 --> 01:46:43,175
Less than
it's gonna cost them.
1401
01:46:44,309 --> 01:46:45,811
What is that?
1402
01:46:56,186 --> 01:46:58,920
Sir, the gunters
are approaching the challenge.
1403
01:46:58,922 --> 01:47:00,923
- i-R0k?
- In position, sir.
1404
01:47:00,925 --> 01:47:02,191
Prepare my rig.
1405
01:47:02,193 --> 01:47:04,829
The ice is holding.
Still going.
1406
01:47:15,172 --> 01:47:16,505
Wait.
1407
01:47:16,507 --> 01:47:17,507
He's trying to win.
1408
01:47:21,011 --> 01:47:23,548
Yeah! I won.
1409
01:47:27,051 --> 01:47:29,018
He lost.
1410
01:47:29,020 --> 01:47:31,023
Not Adventure.
1411
01:47:35,159 --> 01:47:39,629
Everyone who wins loses.
1412
01:47:39,631 --> 01:47:42,901
It's not about winning.
It's about playing.
1413
01:47:44,034 --> 01:47:46,535
Remember
Halliday's announcement.
1414
01:47:46,537 --> 01:47:48,970
The keys are invisible, and
they're hidden in a dark room
1415
01:47:48,972 --> 01:47:51,540
that's at the center
of a maze.
1416
01:47:51,542 --> 01:47:55,210
Well, there's a secret in Adventure,
and you don't find it by winning.
1417
01:47:55,212 --> 01:47:58,147
You find it by wandering
around in a dark room.
1418
01:47:58,149 --> 01:47:59,648
Until you get
to the invisible dot.
1419
01:47:59,650 --> 01:48:01,549
It's pretty easy
if you know what you're doing.
1420
01:48:01,551 --> 01:48:02,620
Really?
1421
01:48:03,520 --> 01:48:06,088
Let me finish it for you.
1422
01:48:10,060 --> 01:48:11,993
It's your last chance, Wade.
1423
01:48:11,995 --> 01:48:14,697
Last chance. Give me the key.
1424
01:48:14,699 --> 01:48:19,935
I give you 50 million
in your account right now.
1425
01:48:19,937 --> 01:48:21,506
Why the hell
would I ever do that?
1426
01:48:23,507 --> 01:48:25,441
Dude!
That's the Cataclyst.
1427
01:48:25,443 --> 01:48:27,343
Now, personally, I don't care.
1428
01:48:27,345 --> 01:48:29,077
I'd just as soon never set
foot in the OASIS again,
1429
01:48:29,079 --> 01:48:31,246
let alone have to deal
with any of this absurdity.
1430
01:48:31,248 --> 01:48:36,451
But I know how important Halliday's
competition is to you, so...
1431
01:48:36,453 --> 01:48:40,689
I will never let the future of the OASIS
rest in your hands, Nolan Sorrento.
1432
01:48:40,691 --> 01:48:44,727
Well, that's fine.
Three easy steps. One.
1433
01:48:44,729 --> 01:48:47,396
Wait, I thought you were bluffing. You
know that kills all of us, right?
1434
01:48:47,398 --> 01:48:49,465
I've got 10 years' worth
of shit inside of me.
1435
01:48:49,467 --> 01:48:51,133
Last chance. Two.
1436
01:48:51,135 --> 01:48:52,535
I'm not goin' out like that.
1437
01:48:52,537 --> 01:48:54,070
That's a camper move.
1438
01:48:54,072 --> 01:48:55,752
You don't even know
how to activate an orb.
1439
01:49:07,385 --> 01:49:08,453
Yeah, I felt those.
1440
01:49:09,686 --> 01:49:11,957
But this is my world,
Sorrento.
1441
01:49:15,726 --> 01:49:17,162
Hadouken!
1442
01:49:36,780 --> 01:49:39,415
- No, no, no!
- Step three.
1443
01:49:39,417 --> 01:49:41,119
No, no, no!
1444
01:50:38,642 --> 01:50:40,311
Get me out of this thing.
1445
01:50:54,758 --> 01:50:56,192
Uh...
1446
01:50:56,194 --> 01:50:57,428
Guys?
1447
01:51:03,834 --> 01:51:05,669
Z. He's still alive!
1448
01:51:13,778 --> 01:51:15,579
Extra life.
1449
01:51:17,815 --> 01:51:19,418
Thanks, Curator.
1450
01:51:22,285 --> 01:51:23,422
Hold on.
1451
01:51:31,194 --> 01:51:33,795
Live feed
in all OASIS channels.
1452
01:51:33,797 --> 01:51:36,398
Halliday's letting everyone
watch the end of the contest.
1453
01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:37,765
That's so Halliday.
1454
01:51:37,767 --> 01:51:39,835
God damn it,
we tried Adventure.
1455
01:51:39,837 --> 01:51:41,603
No, we tried to win it.
1456
01:51:41,605 --> 01:51:43,872
But the hidden room isn't
at the end of the game.
1457
01:51:43,874 --> 01:51:46,811
You've gotta go straight to the
invisible dot at the start.
1458
01:52:00,257 --> 01:52:02,223
Is that her?
1459
01:52:02,225 --> 01:52:05,628
Red hair, IOI uniform, doesn't
know what planet she's on?
1460
01:52:05,630 --> 01:52:06,664
That's her.
1461
01:52:18,508 --> 01:52:21,245
I'm Toshiro.
You know me as Daito.
1462
01:52:23,948 --> 01:52:25,182
Oh.
1463
01:52:27,952 --> 01:52:29,354
Hey, Arty.
1464
01:52:31,422 --> 01:52:35,590
Yeah, I know. Not what
you were expecting, huh?
1465
01:52:35,592 --> 01:52:40,131
Yeah, I wasn't expecting
a late '30s-model postal van.
1466
01:52:42,199 --> 01:52:44,366
Wade?
1467
01:52:44,368 --> 01:52:46,335
Wait, I thought the Cataclyst went off.
How are you still playing?
1468
01:52:46,337 --> 01:52:48,840
Extra life, long story.
Sorry I shot you.
1469
01:52:50,975 --> 01:52:52,808
Sho?
1470
01:52:52,810 --> 01:52:55,344
What? Do I have to wear
a sign saying,
1471
01:52:55,346 --> 01:52:58,479
"I am 11 years old, shoot me first"?
No, thanks.
1472
01:52:58,481 --> 01:53:00,816
- Dude, give me a hug.
- Ninjas don't hug!
1473
01:53:00,818 --> 01:53:02,498
All right, everybody,
hold on to somethin'.
1474
01:53:23,940 --> 01:53:25,409
Got you.
1475
01:53:28,980 --> 01:53:30,882
Come on, Nolan. Pick up.
1476
01:53:32,882 --> 01:53:35,917
F'Nale, tell me
something good.
1477
01:53:35,919 --> 01:53:38,487
I've got a drone on their tail.
I'm close.
1478
01:53:38,489 --> 01:53:39,755
Send me coordinates.
1479
01:53:39,757 --> 01:53:41,991
Maybe you should
leave this to me, Nolan.
1480
01:53:43,761 --> 01:53:46,364
Nolan? Nolan.
1481
01:53:47,832 --> 01:53:48,934
Out.
1482
01:53:57,908 --> 01:54:00,378
Give me that.
1483
01:54:03,881 --> 01:54:05,784
What's goin' on out there?
1484
01:54:09,986 --> 01:54:12,623
The game is over for them.
What are they watching?
1485
01:54:14,925 --> 01:54:17,428
The final key!
It's being broadcast.
1486
01:54:19,529 --> 01:54:20,996
You see,
1487
01:54:20,998 --> 01:54:23,898
Warren Robinett
was proud of Adventure.
1488
01:54:23,900 --> 01:54:26,969
He wanted people to know
who was behind it.
1489
01:54:26,971 --> 01:54:29,705
That's why he created
the first digital Easter egg
1490
01:54:29,707 --> 01:54:32,407
and to find it,
you didn't even have to win.
1491
01:54:32,409 --> 01:54:36,577
You just had to blindly play,
searching around
1492
01:54:36,579 --> 01:54:40,715
in rooms for an invisible dot.
1493
01:54:40,717 --> 01:54:43,085
You took the dot
back to the main screen
1494
01:54:43,087 --> 01:54:47,923
and that's when you found the first
Easter egg ever put in a video game.
1495
01:54:47,925 --> 01:54:49,205
The creator's name.
1496
01:55:13,850 --> 01:55:15,951
What's going on, man?
I can't see shit.
1497
01:55:15,953 --> 01:55:17,322
Parzival just got
the Crystal Key!
1498
01:55:32,636 --> 01:55:34,339
Do you want it or not?
1499
01:55:37,675 --> 01:55:39,774
Aech,
what the hell's going on?
1500
01:55:39,776 --> 01:55:41,777
Just practicing my Mario Kart.
What do you think?
1501
01:55:41,779 --> 01:55:43,815
IOI's trying to kill us, man!
1502
01:55:58,061 --> 01:56:00,396
Everyone watching, if you're
in the Columbus stacks,
1503
01:56:00,398 --> 01:56:02,464
this is Parzival.
1504
01:56:02,466 --> 01:56:04,665
My real-world name is Wade Watts,
and we're gonna need your help.
1505
01:56:04,667 --> 01:56:06,033
Aech, head for the stacks!
1506
01:56:06,035 --> 01:56:08,504
Okay, hold on!
1507
01:56:33,163 --> 01:56:35,099
Stick the key in,
how hard is it?
1508
01:56:40,837 --> 01:56:42,005
Come on.
1509
01:56:49,447 --> 01:56:51,449
Yeah! Yes!
1510
01:57:07,698 --> 01:57:08,900
That's it?
1511
01:57:09,733 --> 01:57:11,599
Yeah, that's it.
1512
01:57:11,601 --> 01:57:16,103
Now, you just sign these papers,
and the OASIS is yours.
1513
01:57:16,105 --> 01:57:20,209
You will be
its sole proprietor.
1514
01:57:20,211 --> 01:57:21,880
That ain't so bad, is it?
1515
01:57:43,734 --> 01:57:44,769
I'm gonna need a second.
1516
01:58:13,264 --> 01:58:16,098
This is wrong.
1517
01:58:16,100 --> 01:58:18,970
This pen, this contract.
1518
01:58:22,206 --> 01:58:23,972
This is the moment
that Halliday made Morrow
1519
01:58:23,974 --> 01:58:26,541
sign over his shares
in Gregarious.
1520
01:58:26,543 --> 01:58:29,210
That was the biggest mistake
of his life.
1521
01:58:29,212 --> 01:58:31,148
He knew that.
1522
01:58:33,117 --> 01:58:35,153
This can't be the end.
1523
01:58:36,153 --> 01:58:38,056
It's a test.
1524
01:58:42,626 --> 01:58:45,096
I won't make
the same mistake you did.
1525
01:58:51,001 --> 01:58:52,870
Oh, good.
1526
01:58:55,573 --> 01:58:59,010
I just needed to be sure.
1527
01:59:13,023 --> 01:59:15,226
This is where you grew up.
1528
01:59:24,301 --> 01:59:27,234
Oh, that's just me
a long time ago.
1529
01:59:27,236 --> 01:59:31,039
I like to have him around
from time to time.
1530
01:59:31,041 --> 01:59:33,341
Hey, I have
to show you something.
1531
01:59:33,343 --> 01:59:35,042
This, uh... Come on.
1532
01:59:35,044 --> 01:59:36,878
This is the button.
1533
01:59:36,880 --> 01:59:40,182
If you push it, the whole
simulation shuts down
1534
01:59:40,184 --> 01:59:43,785
and a tapeworm program will erase
all of the backup servers.
1535
01:59:43,787 --> 01:59:47,356
So you now have the power
to turn the OASIS off forever.
1536
01:59:47,358 --> 01:59:49,127
Do you understand?
1537
01:59:54,364 --> 01:59:55,731
Yeah,
1538
01:59:55,733 --> 01:59:57,698
try not to accidentally erase
1539
01:59:57,700 --> 02:00:00,171
the whole of the OASIS
on your first day.
1540
02:00:09,747 --> 02:00:11,249
The stacks are straight ahead!
1541
02:00:27,264 --> 02:00:30,232
Well, I expect you have to go.
I know I do.
1542
02:00:30,234 --> 02:00:32,768
So, now is the time for you
to receive your prize
1543
02:00:32,770 --> 02:00:35,303
because you won
all three keys.
1544
02:00:35,305 --> 02:00:40,008
Once you take this egg,
the game will be over.
1545
02:00:40,010 --> 02:00:43,081
The egg, the egg...
1546
02:00:50,319 --> 02:00:52,954
We know what you did here.
1547
02:00:52,956 --> 02:00:56,260
You turn around and walk out
of here while you still can.
1548
02:01:08,872 --> 02:01:11,439
I created the OASIS
1549
02:01:11,441 --> 02:01:16,178
because I never felt at home
in the real world.
1550
02:01:16,180 --> 02:01:20,448
I just didn't know how to
connect with the people there.
1551
02:01:20,450 --> 02:01:24,152
I was afraid
for all of my life.
1552
02:01:24,154 --> 02:01:26,891
Right up until the day
I knew my life was ending.
1553
02:01:32,328 --> 02:01:37,331
Now, that... That was when
I realized that,
1554
02:01:37,333 --> 02:01:42,439
as terrifying and painful
as reality can be,
1555
02:01:43,507 --> 02:01:47,311
it's also the only place
1556
02:01:49,178 --> 02:01:50,815
that you can get
a decent meal.
1557
02:01:57,488 --> 02:01:58,990
Because
1558
02:02:00,524 --> 02:02:02,325
reality
1559
02:02:07,498 --> 02:02:09,164
is real.
1560
02:02:09,166 --> 02:02:10,868
You understand
what I'm saying?
1561
02:02:12,502 --> 02:02:15,338
Yes. Yes, I do.
1562
02:02:25,114 --> 02:02:26,383
He did it.
1563
02:02:28,084 --> 02:02:29,352
He got the egg.
1564
02:02:30,386 --> 02:02:31,421
Hooray.
1565
02:02:32,789 --> 02:02:34,425
- No!
- No! Please!
1566
02:03:07,990 --> 02:03:09,260
Hold it!
1567
02:03:11,328 --> 02:03:15,095
Drop the gun! Now!
On the ground!
1568
02:03:15,097 --> 02:03:17,832
Turn around!
Hands on your head.
1569
02:03:17,834 --> 02:03:19,403
Walk back towards me.
1570
02:03:35,118 --> 02:03:40,354
Mr. Halliday.
Something I don't understand.
1571
02:03:40,356 --> 02:03:43,093
You're not an avatar, are you?
1572
02:03:43,493 --> 02:03:45,329
No.
1573
02:03:46,864 --> 02:03:48,866
Is Halliday really dead?
1574
02:03:50,534 --> 02:03:52,136
Yes.
1575
02:03:57,874 --> 02:03:59,443
Then what are you?
1576
02:04:02,880 --> 02:04:04,849
Goodbye, Parzival.
1577
02:04:06,516 --> 02:04:07,516
Thanks.
1578
02:04:09,151 --> 02:04:11,355
Thanks for playing my game.
1579
02:04:40,383 --> 02:04:41,484
Wade?
1580
02:04:43,086 --> 02:04:45,019
- Ogden Morrow?
- Ogden Morrow?
1581
02:04:45,021 --> 02:04:47,188
You can call me "Og."
1582
02:04:47,190 --> 02:04:50,157
Now, there are some people out here
that would very much like to meet you.
1583
02:04:50,159 --> 02:04:53,394
Wow, this is incredible.
1584
02:04:53,396 --> 02:04:56,167
It's an honor to meet you,
Og, but I...
1585
02:05:00,369 --> 02:05:02,038
There's something
I need to do first.
1586
02:05:05,943 --> 02:05:07,511
I'm not like Halliday.
1587
02:05:11,448 --> 02:05:13,517
I'm taking the leap.
1588
02:05:29,967 --> 02:05:33,100
We're looking for Wade Watts.
1589
02:05:33,102 --> 02:05:35,370
We need you to make a statement
about the clip you sent in
1590
02:05:35,372 --> 02:05:37,572
of Nolan Sorrento's
confession.
1591
02:05:37,574 --> 02:05:40,308
Uh, that was me.
1592
02:05:40,310 --> 02:05:42,680
What? I record everything
in my workshop.
1593
02:05:49,285 --> 02:05:51,154
Help me out of this.
1594
02:05:57,493 --> 02:05:59,594
Who are you guys?
1595
02:05:59,596 --> 02:06:04,101
The people you need right now, lawyers.
From Gregarious Games.
1596
02:06:06,736 --> 02:06:08,572
They want
your signature, Wade.
1597
02:06:16,512 --> 02:06:18,780
I'm splitting it with my clan.
1598
02:06:18,782 --> 02:06:20,583
We're gonna
run things together.
1599
02:06:25,122 --> 02:06:27,322
That's a good choice.
1600
02:06:55,118 --> 02:06:58,719
F'Nale, listen to me
very carefully.
1601
02:07:07,364 --> 02:07:10,298
Mr. Morrow... I mean, Og,
1602
02:07:10,300 --> 02:07:11,799
how'd you get here so fast?
1603
02:07:11,801 --> 02:07:14,501
I flew from the stars
on my magic sleigh.
1604
02:07:14,503 --> 02:07:17,072
Everyone's been watching.
1605
02:07:17,074 --> 02:07:20,311
Of course, I've been watching
a little closer than most.
1606
02:07:24,346 --> 02:07:26,246
You?
1607
02:07:26,248 --> 02:07:27,484
You're the Curator?
1608
02:07:31,221 --> 02:07:34,688
Well played, Parzival.
1609
02:07:34,690 --> 02:07:36,723
Jim told me
nothing about the contest,
1610
02:07:36,725 --> 02:07:40,094
so there was no rule about me
losing a bet to a smart kid.
1611
02:07:40,096 --> 02:07:42,729
Not that you needed my help.
1612
02:07:42,731 --> 02:07:46,867
You figured out that Kira
was the key on your own.
1613
02:07:46,869 --> 02:07:49,707
Yeah, but...
Kira wasn't the key.
1614
02:07:50,841 --> 02:07:52,709
It was you, Mr. Morrow.
1615
02:07:54,845 --> 02:07:56,878
You were the Rosebud.
1616
02:07:56,880 --> 02:07:59,083
And Halliday's
biggest regret was
1617
02:08:00,784 --> 02:08:02,386
losing his only friend.
1618
02:08:06,623 --> 02:08:08,755
You know,
Jim used to say the OASIS
1619
02:08:08,757 --> 02:08:11,428
was never supposed to be
a one-player game.
1620
02:08:15,132 --> 02:08:17,732
Now, who do we have here?
1621
02:08:17,734 --> 02:08:20,602
Oh. Well, look who it is.
1622
02:08:20,604 --> 02:08:22,370
It's my heroes, the High Five.
1623
02:08:22,372 --> 02:08:23,838
- You must be Art3mis.
- Samantha.
1624
02:08:23,840 --> 02:08:25,773
The High Five
took over the OASIS,
1625
02:08:25,775 --> 02:08:27,875
and the first thing we did
1626
02:08:27,877 --> 02:08:30,911
was sign Ogden Morrow to
a non-exclusive consultancy.
1627
02:08:30,913 --> 02:08:33,915
The salary, per his demand,
1628
02:08:33,917 --> 02:08:37,384
was 25 cents. One quarter.
1629
02:08:40,590 --> 02:08:42,790
With his guidance,
our second move was to ban
1630
02:08:42,792 --> 02:08:46,460
any loyalty centers
from accessing the OASIS.
1631
02:08:46,462 --> 02:08:49,699
IOI had no choice.
They shut 'em all down.
1632
02:08:52,668 --> 02:08:55,670
The third thing we did
wasn't as popular.
1633
02:08:55,672 --> 02:08:59,674
We closed the OASIS
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
1634
02:08:59,676 --> 02:09:02,176
I know, it sounds
like a weird move,
1635
02:09:02,178 --> 02:09:04,882
but people need to spend
more time in the real world.
1636
02:09:06,749 --> 02:09:09,817
'Cause, like Halliday said,
1637
02:09:09,819 --> 02:09:14,158
reality is the only thing
that's real.
