1
00:01:17,987 --> 00:01:21,912
Get ready for the feel, the feel of real. X1.

2
00:01:22,074 --> 00:01:23,826
No pain, no gain.

3
00:01:45,723 --> 00:01:47,145
Pizza, guys.

4
00:01:53,063 --> 00:01:54,281
Whoo-hoo!

5
00:02:08,704 --> 00:02:10,081
Hello, Wade.

6
00:02:10,247 --> 00:02:11,840
Hello, Mrs. Gilmore.

7
00:02:11,999 --> 00:02:14,844
What's the matter? Life getting you down?

8
00:02:19,548 --> 00:02:21,926
I was born in 2027.

9
00:02:22,092 --> 00:02:25,722
After the Corn Syrup Droughts,
after the Bandwidth Riots.

10
00:02:25,888 --> 00:02:27,936
After people stopped trying to fix problems

11
00:02:28,098 --> 00:02:30,351
and just tried to outlive them.

12
00:02:36,982 --> 00:02:39,280
My parents, they didn't make it through those times,

13
00:02:39,443 --> 00:02:42,618
so I live here in Columbus, Ohio, with my Aunt Alice.

14
00:02:43,405 --> 00:02:47,786
In 2045, Columbus is the
fastest-growing city on Earth.

15
00:02:48,744 --> 00:02:52,044
It's where Halliday and Morrow
started Gregarious Games.

16
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,213
These days, reality is a bummer.

17
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:01,178
Everyone is looking for a way to escape,

18
00:03:01,340 --> 00:03:02,592
and that's why Halliday...

19
00:03:02,758 --> 00:03:04,726
That's why he was such a hero to us.

20
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:09,223
He showed us that we could go
somewhere without going anywhere at all.

21
00:03:11,225 --> 00:03:12,226
You don't need a destination

22
00:03:12,434 --> 00:03:14,528
when you're running on an omnidirectional treadmill

23
00:03:14,686 --> 00:03:16,984
with quadraphonic, pressure-sensitive underlay.

24
00:03:17,981 --> 00:03:20,234
James Halliday saw the future.

25
00:03:20,401 --> 00:03:21,948
And then he built it.

26
00:03:22,111 --> 00:03:24,114
He gave us a place to go.

27
00:03:24,279 --> 00:03:26,031
A place called

28
00:03:26,615 --> 00:03:27,992
the OASIS.

29
00:03:41,171 --> 00:03:43,344
This is the OASIS.

30
00:03:43,507 --> 00:03:47,683
It's a place where the limits of
reality are your own imagination.

31
00:04:01,150 --> 00:04:03,244
You can do anything...

32
00:04:04,278 --> 00:04:05,279
go anywhere.

33
00:04:06,905 --> 00:04:08,407
Like the vacation planet.

34
00:04:08,574 --> 00:04:11,288
Surf a 50-foot monster wave in Hawaii.

35
00:04:11,368 --> 00:04:13,621
You can ski down the pyramids.

36
00:04:14,288 --> 00:04:16,006
You can climb Mount Everest

37
00:04:16,165 --> 00:04:17,633
with Batman.

38
00:04:20,377 --> 00:04:23,847
Check out this place.
It's a casino the size of a planet.

39
00:04:24,006 --> 00:04:25,224
You can lose your money there.

40
00:04:25,382 --> 00:04:27,760
You can get married. You can get divorced.

41
00:04:27,926 --> 00:04:30,270
You can... You can go in there.

42
00:04:31,930 --> 00:04:34,854
People come to the OASIS for
all the things they can do,

43
00:04:35,017 --> 00:04:38,146
but they stay because of all the things they can be.

44
00:04:39,688 --> 00:04:43,318
Tall, beautiful, scary, a different sex,

45
00:04:43,484 --> 00:04:46,533
a different species, live-action, cartoon.

46
00:04:46,695 --> 00:04:48,288
It's all your call.

47
00:04:49,323 --> 00:04:52,498
Yeah, that's me. Well, that's my avatar.

48
00:04:52,659 --> 00:04:55,458
At least, until I feel like changing it.

49
00:04:56,622 --> 00:04:58,875
Except for eating, sleeping, and bathroom breaks,

50
00:04:59,041 --> 00:05:02,295
whatever people wanna do, they do it in the OASIS.

51
00:05:03,128 --> 00:05:05,973
And since everyone is here,
this is where we meet each other.

52
00:05:06,131 --> 00:05:07,303
It's where we make friends.

53
00:05:07,466 --> 00:05:08,638
Locate Aech.

54
00:05:09,801 --> 00:05:12,054
Locating Aech.

55
00:05:14,932 --> 00:05:16,309
Aech located.

56
00:05:17,017 --> 00:05:19,691
Sector 12. Planet Doom.

57
00:05:20,312 --> 00:05:23,487
Planet Doom, the most dangerous place in the OASIS,

58
00:05:23,649 --> 00:05:26,573
and a pretty great place to pick up coin.

59
00:05:26,735 --> 00:05:28,282
Figures Aech would be there.

60
00:05:30,948 --> 00:05:33,542
Aech is my best friend in the OASIS.

61
00:05:34,409 --> 00:05:36,912
He's my best friend, period.

62
00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:39,924
Even though I've never actually
met him in the real world.

63
00:05:43,835 --> 00:05:46,008
- What's up, Aech?
- Hey, what up, Z?

64
00:05:46,171 --> 00:05:48,424
Next race is in 20 minutes,
and I can't do the late one.

65
00:05:48,590 --> 00:05:50,137
What the hell are you up to?

66
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:52,769
Man, gettin' my kills on, bro.

67
00:05:52,928 --> 00:05:54,020
Is that Daito?

68
00:05:54,179 --> 00:05:55,726
Daito and Sho.

69
00:06:02,187 --> 00:06:03,484
This an artifact hunt?

70
00:06:03,647 --> 00:06:05,775
Yup. Gregarious 120.

71
00:06:05,941 --> 00:06:09,866
Turn into any giant robot for two minutes. That's rad.

72
00:06:10,529 --> 00:06:11,826
Artifacts.

73
00:06:12,614 --> 00:06:14,582
Those were key.

74
00:06:15,492 --> 00:06:17,495
Halliday made sure the OASIS was littered

75
00:06:17,661 --> 00:06:20,210
with enough randomly powerful stuff

76
00:06:20,372 --> 00:06:23,171
that anyone could win if they had the skills.

77
00:06:24,751 --> 00:06:27,425
Death matches and artifact hunts
are a good way to coin-snatch,

78
00:06:27,588 --> 00:06:30,260
but depending on your level of armor, they're risky.

79
00:06:31,717 --> 00:06:34,015
You see, everyone starts the same,

80
00:06:34,177 --> 00:06:35,269
but the more coin you make...

81
00:06:35,429 --> 00:06:37,056
- Mom! Mom!
- ...the more you level up.

82
00:06:37,222 --> 00:06:39,645
If you get killed, your avatar can come back to life...

83
00:06:39,725 --> 00:06:40,726
Go get your dad!

84
00:06:40,809 --> 00:06:42,482
but you lose all your stuff.

85
00:06:44,187 --> 00:06:46,281
Everything you've ever worked for.

86
00:06:47,190 --> 00:06:48,533
All your money.

87
00:06:50,694 --> 00:06:52,071
Your clothes.

88
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:55,077
Your weapons.

89
00:06:55,699 --> 00:06:58,327
Since people spend most of their time in the OASIS...

90
00:07:01,288 --> 00:07:02,415
losing your shit means...

91
00:07:03,123 --> 00:07:05,547
Well, losing your shit.

92
00:07:08,128 --> 00:07:10,381
Aech, 10 minutes until the race starts.

93
00:07:10,547 --> 00:07:12,390
Okay, Mom, I heard you.

94
00:07:12,549 --> 00:07:16,725
You see, the OASIS was the
brainchild of James Halliday.

95
00:07:16,887 --> 00:07:21,643
He and his partner, Ogden Morrow,
released the first OASIS build in 2025.

96
00:07:21,808 --> 00:07:25,904
It was an instant success,
and it made them both very rich.

97
00:07:26,063 --> 00:07:29,533
But Morrow was out of the picture
after a few years. And Halliday?

98
00:07:29,691 --> 00:07:32,866
He wasn't just the owner of
the world's biggest company.

99
00:07:33,028 --> 00:07:36,828
He was like a god. People loved him.

100
00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:38,993
They worshiped him as much as his creation.

101
00:07:39,159 --> 00:07:41,833
Maybe we should stop talking about it

102
00:07:41,995 --> 00:07:44,339
and start, uh, showing it.

103
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:46,626
If you all wanna reach under your seats,

104
00:07:46,792 --> 00:07:48,965
you'll find that there's nothing there.

105
00:07:49,127 --> 00:07:52,472
But we're each gonna bring you one now.

106
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:57,265
And then, on January 7, 2040...

107
00:08:00,305 --> 00:08:01,306
He died.

108
00:08:04,351 --> 00:08:05,523
And what he left behind

109
00:08:06,937 --> 00:08:09,486
changed everything.

110
00:08:22,035 --> 00:08:26,086
Hello. I am James Halliday.

111
00:08:26,248 --> 00:08:29,172
If you're watching this, I'm dead.

112
00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:35,718
Before I died, I created what
we in the biz call an "Easter egg."

113
00:08:36,925 --> 00:08:43,775
A hidden object in a game that gives
special powers to whoever discovers it.

114
00:08:45,267 --> 00:08:47,691
The first person to find the egg

115
00:08:47,853 --> 00:08:51,107
I've hidden somewhere inside the OASIS

116
00:08:51,273 --> 00:08:54,948
will inherit my stock in Gregarious Games,

117
00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:58,909
currently valued in excess of half a million...

118
00:08:58,989 --> 00:09:01,834
Uh, half a trillion dollars' worth,

119
00:09:01,992 --> 00:09:07,374
and total control of the OASIS itself.

120
00:09:08,457 --> 00:09:13,680
In the form of my avatar, Anorak the All-Knowing,

121
00:09:14,171 --> 00:09:16,845
I created three keys.

122
00:09:17,841 --> 00:09:21,061
Three hidden challenges test for worthy traits

123
00:09:21,219 --> 00:09:25,395
revealing three hidden keys to three magic gates.

124
00:09:25,557 --> 00:09:29,562
And those with the skill to survive these straits

125
00:09:29,728 --> 00:09:34,359
will reach the end, where the prize awaits.

126
00:09:34,524 --> 00:09:37,027
Off you go, keys.

127
00:09:39,362 --> 00:09:44,209
The keys aren't just laying
around under a rock somewhere.

128
00:09:44,367 --> 00:09:46,961
I suppose you could say they're invisible,

129
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,670
hidden in a dark room that's at the center of a maze

130
00:09:50,832 --> 00:09:53,756
that's located somewhere

131
00:09:54,753 --> 00:09:56,801
up here.

132
00:09:57,172 --> 00:10:01,223
Let the hunt for Halliday's Easter egg

133
00:10:01,885 --> 00:10:02,932
begin.

134
00:10:09,434 --> 00:10:11,687
The challenge is to find three keys,

135
00:10:11,853 --> 00:10:15,323
but in five years, no one has even gotten one key.

136
00:10:15,482 --> 00:10:17,780
And the big scoreboard? Still empty.

137
00:10:18,485 --> 00:10:20,237
Some long-forgotten gunter cracked the first clue

138
00:10:20,403 --> 00:10:22,076
and found the first challenge.

139
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,248
Then, this portal appeared.

140
00:10:24,991 --> 00:10:28,245
But the challenge to win the first
key was a race designed by Halliday

141
00:10:28,411 --> 00:10:31,256
that was so hard, no one had ever finished it.

142
00:10:31,414 --> 00:10:34,759
The only ones still trying are
the gunters, as in "egg hunters,"

143
00:10:34,918 --> 00:10:37,797
like me and Sho and Daito, and my best friend, Aech.

144
00:10:38,505 --> 00:10:41,759
Oh, and of course, the Sixers.

145
00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:43,388
The Sixers work for IOI...

146
00:10:43,468 --> 00:10:44,469
Sixers!

147
00:10:44,553 --> 00:10:45,896
Innovative Online Industries.

148
00:10:46,054 --> 00:10:48,102
They're the second-largest company in the world

149
00:10:48,265 --> 00:10:50,063
with designs on becoming the first.

150
00:10:50,517 --> 00:10:52,315
Which is why they're putting everything they got

151
00:10:52,477 --> 00:10:53,649
into winning Halliday's contest.

152
00:10:53,812 --> 00:10:55,439
Buckle up!

153
00:10:56,273 --> 00:10:58,150
Sit in!

154
00:10:58,316 --> 00:11:01,035
We call 'em "Sixers" 'cause that's the company rule.

155
00:11:01,194 --> 00:11:02,662
No name, just numbers.

156
00:11:04,447 --> 00:11:07,121
They have a support team made up of Halliday scholars.

157
00:11:07,284 --> 00:11:09,833
Like me, they spend all their
time studying pop culture

158
00:11:09,995 --> 00:11:11,372
that Halliday was obsessed with,

159
00:11:11,538 --> 00:11:13,586
trying to find clues to solve the contest.

160
00:11:16,251 --> 00:11:19,050
They're just following the orders of the head of IOI,

161
00:11:19,212 --> 00:11:22,261
this dickweed named Nolan Sorrento.

162
00:11:28,305 --> 00:11:29,557
How'd you get here before me?

163
00:11:29,723 --> 00:11:32,226
Well, I didn't make a pit stop at the hair salon.

164
00:11:32,392 --> 00:11:34,190
- What up, Z?
- What's up, Aech?

165
00:11:34,895 --> 00:11:36,022
Saved you a spot.

166
00:11:36,187 --> 00:11:37,314
Thanks, bro.

167
00:11:41,735 --> 00:11:42,782
I gotta go to the back.

168
00:11:42,944 --> 00:11:45,789
Ugh. So you can skim coins from crashed cars?

169
00:11:45,947 --> 00:11:48,575
- That's just sad, man.
- Fuel's low.

170
00:11:48,742 --> 00:11:52,167
Oh, but you still had enough to pay
for that Something About Mary hairdo.

171
00:12:33,787 --> 00:12:34,788
First to the key.

172
00:12:36,164 --> 00:12:37,165
First to the egg!

173
00:13:26,715 --> 00:13:28,592
Aech, are you seeing this?

174
00:13:31,219 --> 00:13:33,688
Yeah, I see it. That's Kaneda's bike from Akira.

175
00:13:33,847 --> 00:13:35,895
It's a licensed skin over a standard frame.

176
00:13:36,057 --> 00:13:38,276
No, not the bike. Forget the bike.

177
00:13:38,935 --> 00:13:40,608
The girl, I think it's Art3mis.

178
00:13:40,770 --> 00:13:42,818
The Art3mis? The Sixer Fixer?

179
00:13:43,064 --> 00:13:45,863
I've seen all her walk-throughs, her Twitch streams.

180
00:13:46,026 --> 00:13:47,903
It's her. It's definitely her.

181
00:15:35,051 --> 00:15:37,145
Go, go, go! Get there! Come on!

182
00:15:42,976 --> 00:15:44,023
You got it, you got it!

183
00:15:53,528 --> 00:15:54,905
Balls.

184
00:16:00,618 --> 00:16:01,619
She's not gonna make it.

185
00:16:04,414 --> 00:16:06,087
Bail! Bail out!

186
00:16:06,249 --> 00:16:07,250
Bail!

187
00:16:13,464 --> 00:16:15,091
Ow!

188
00:16:45,705 --> 00:16:47,048
Damn, I loved that bike.

189
00:16:47,207 --> 00:16:48,459
Oh, Aech could...

190
00:16:48,625 --> 00:16:51,094
Well, he's my friend, but he could fix it for you.

191
00:16:58,509 --> 00:17:01,182
This is my workshop. Touch nothing.

192
00:17:07,810 --> 00:17:09,778
Where did you find an Iron Giant?

193
00:17:09,938 --> 00:17:12,612
Find it? I'm building it. That's a commission.

194
00:17:12,815 --> 00:17:15,614
Oh, yeah. Aech is top-rated on the mod boards.

195
00:17:15,777 --> 00:17:18,451
People all over the OASIS pay him serious coin.

196
00:17:18,613 --> 00:17:20,832
Oh, hey, check this out!

197
00:17:20,990 --> 00:17:22,458
Hey. Z, yo.

198
00:17:23,993 --> 00:17:26,291
- The Galactica, of course.
- These are my babies, all right, man?

199
00:17:26,454 --> 00:17:28,081
Sulaco, from Aliens.

200
00:17:28,248 --> 00:17:29,625
Dude, how are you showing off my shit?

201
00:17:29,791 --> 00:17:32,260
Valley Forge, from Silent Running.
Oh, where's the Harkonnen Drop-Ship?

202
00:17:32,418 --> 00:17:34,796
That thing is sick. Folds space like a boss.

203
00:17:34,963 --> 00:17:36,715
I mean, you can get from Incipio
to Arrakis in three seconds...

204
00:17:37,048 --> 00:17:38,641
Fingers!

205
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:39,972
You'll have to excuse him.

206
00:17:40,134 --> 00:17:42,307
He gets a little nervous around pretty girls.

207
00:17:49,477 --> 00:17:51,946
I can fix it in 10 minutes.

208
00:17:53,314 --> 00:17:55,783
Yup. He's pretty great.

209
00:17:55,942 --> 00:17:58,821
I assume you and Shoulder Blades are clanned up.

210
00:17:58,987 --> 00:18:01,115
Oh, Aech? Nah.

211
00:18:01,281 --> 00:18:05,411
I mean, he's really good, but I don't clan.

212
00:18:06,244 --> 00:18:08,793
Oh, 'cause you're Parzival,

213
00:18:08,955 --> 00:18:11,333
as in the knight who found
the Holy Grail by himself.

214
00:18:11,499 --> 00:18:13,092
What about you, Art3mis?

215
00:18:13,251 --> 00:18:16,471
Goddess of the hunt.
Clans must be killing to sign you up.

216
00:18:18,089 --> 00:18:19,887
- Favorite shooter?
- Excuse me?

217
00:18:20,049 --> 00:18:21,847
James Halliday's favorite first-person shooter.

218
00:18:22,010 --> 00:18:23,432
- What?
- Oh. GoldenEye.

219
00:18:23,594 --> 00:18:25,813
- Playing as?
- Oddjob. Is this a test?

220
00:18:25,972 --> 00:18:26,973
Favorite game variant?

221
00:18:27,056 --> 00:18:28,649
Game variant was "slappers only." No weapons.

222
00:18:28,808 --> 00:18:30,811
I know what "slappers only" means. Racer?

223
00:18:30,977 --> 00:18:33,105
Turbo. And his favorite food was Hot Pockets.

224
00:18:33,271 --> 00:18:34,864
Favorite restaurant was Chuck E Cheese.

225
00:18:35,023 --> 00:18:37,401
Song was Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles.

226
00:18:37,567 --> 00:18:39,194
Video was Take on Me by A-ha.

227
00:18:39,485 --> 00:18:43,410
Oh, oh... His favorite quote was from Superman.

228
00:18:44,073 --> 00:18:45,370
"Some people can read War and Peace

229
00:18:45,533 --> 00:18:47,752
"and come away thinking it's
a simple adventure story..."

230
00:18:47,910 --> 00:18:50,538
"Others can read the ingredients
on the back of a chewing-gum wrapper

231
00:18:50,705 --> 00:18:53,083
"and unlock the secrets of the universe."

232
00:18:53,791 --> 00:18:55,794
Lex Luthor.

233
00:18:56,210 --> 00:18:57,712
Cool.

234
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,760
What would you do? If you won.
The whole contest, I mean.

235
00:19:02,842 --> 00:19:05,766
Oh! I mean, I've got tons of plans in the real world.

236
00:19:05,928 --> 00:19:10,684
I'd move into a huge mansion,
buy a bunch of cool shit, not be poor.

237
00:19:11,934 --> 00:19:14,312
Now I know why you stopped short.

238
00:19:15,646 --> 00:19:18,650
I stopped because of Kong.
No one ever makes it past Kong.

239
00:19:18,816 --> 00:19:20,614
That's, like, a rule.

240
00:19:20,777 --> 00:19:24,247
Well, then you know it can't be true.
Because Halliday hated making rules.

241
00:19:24,405 --> 00:19:25,702
I can't afford to zero out.

242
00:19:25,865 --> 00:19:27,242
- You're afraid to lose your shit.
- No, I'm not!

243
00:19:27,408 --> 00:19:29,376
What happens when IOI offers you guaranteed coin

244
00:19:29,535 --> 00:19:30,707
for the keys to the kingdom?

245
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:33,089
Nolan Sorrento takes over the world.

246
00:19:33,247 --> 00:19:37,423
A real gunter would risk
everything to save the OASIS from IOI.

247
00:19:37,585 --> 00:19:38,928
Who said that?

248
00:19:39,087 --> 00:19:40,509
Me.

249
00:19:42,757 --> 00:19:44,304
There you go. Good as new.

250
00:19:44,884 --> 00:19:47,137
Thanks for the fix-up, my man.

251
00:19:56,896 --> 00:19:58,443
That's better.

252
00:19:58,981 --> 00:20:02,952
I'll wave to you from the finish line, McFly.

253
00:20:06,364 --> 00:20:07,456
That went well.

254
00:20:07,615 --> 00:20:09,333
Thanks to you, Captain Big Mouth.

255
00:20:09,492 --> 00:20:12,837
Wade? Wade? Where the hell are my gloves?

256
00:20:12,995 --> 00:20:14,963
Shit. I gotta go.

257
00:20:18,126 --> 00:20:19,127
X1.

258
00:20:19,210 --> 00:20:22,760
When I'm after gold on Planet Doom,
I need every edge I can get.

259
00:20:23,047 --> 00:20:26,802
Every push, punch, gunshot, you feel it all.

260
00:20:26,968 --> 00:20:31,144
Get ready for the feel, the feel of real. X1.

261
00:20:31,305 --> 00:20:33,558
The X1 is like wearing a second skin.

262
00:20:33,641 --> 00:20:35,609
A skin that kicks ass.

263
00:20:37,353 --> 00:20:40,107
I zeroed out 'cause of your broke-ass gloves.

264
00:20:40,273 --> 00:20:41,525
Who told you to use them?

265
00:20:41,691 --> 00:20:43,785
You took hers.

266
00:20:44,861 --> 00:20:46,204
So you lost a death match.

267
00:20:46,362 --> 00:20:50,617
Why don't you just respawn and
level up like everyone else?

268
00:20:50,783 --> 00:20:51,910
You don't get it.

269
00:20:52,076 --> 00:20:55,000
I bought all these power-ups for
this challenge, and I lost it all.

270
00:20:55,163 --> 00:20:56,881
That artifact was gonna pay for the house!

271
00:20:57,039 --> 00:20:58,040
Wait.

272
00:20:58,207 --> 00:21:01,632
How much of our house money
did you spend on upgrades?

273
00:21:02,712 --> 00:21:05,466
Well, all of it, but I was gonna win.

274
00:21:05,590 --> 00:21:08,469
That was our ticket out of here.

275
00:21:11,095 --> 00:21:12,187
You idiot.

276
00:21:12,346 --> 00:21:14,474
No, but I only lost 'cause of the bad gloves.

277
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,233
Our house! Our goddamn house!

278
00:21:16,392 --> 00:21:17,564
My boys were in that challenge.

279
00:21:17,727 --> 00:21:19,775
You couldn't have beat them in a bootsuit, you noob.

280
00:21:20,396 --> 00:21:23,400
Stop! No! No!

281
00:21:23,566 --> 00:21:24,693
Alice, call the police!

282
00:21:24,859 --> 00:21:26,361
No, we are not calling the cops.

283
00:21:26,527 --> 00:21:28,245
Go to your room, Rick.

284
00:21:28,404 --> 00:21:29,747
Come on, Alice.

285
00:21:30,740 --> 00:21:34,085
Why do you put up with this guy? He's a shitshow.

286
00:21:34,744 --> 00:21:39,170
I ought to kick the both of you out.
I swear to G-O-D, Wade Watts,

287
00:21:39,332 --> 00:21:41,926
if I catch you touching my stuff again,

288
00:21:42,084 --> 00:21:44,633
not joking... Out.

289
00:21:51,552 --> 00:21:53,725
"Wade Watts."

290
00:21:53,888 --> 00:21:54,889
My dad picked that name

291
00:21:55,056 --> 00:21:57,309
because it sounded like a superhero's alter ego,

292
00:21:57,892 --> 00:22:00,520
like Peter Parker or Bruce Banner.

293
00:22:01,562 --> 00:22:03,485
But he died when I was a kid.

294
00:22:03,648 --> 00:22:06,697
My mom, too, and I ended up here,

295
00:22:06,859 --> 00:22:08,577
living with Aunt Alice

296
00:22:08,736 --> 00:22:11,114
and her endless string of hard-loving losers.

297
00:22:13,991 --> 00:22:16,710
"Halliday hated making rules."

298
00:22:16,869 --> 00:22:19,463
Why is that line sticking in my head?

299
00:22:21,832 --> 00:22:24,756
Maybe it's 'cause Art3mis said it, and she's hot.

300
00:22:25,378 --> 00:22:27,472
Maybe it's because she called me out,

301
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:29,928
sitting here in my tiny corner of nowhere,

302
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,394
protecting my small slice of nothing.

303
00:22:33,553 --> 00:22:35,647
Or maybe...

304
00:22:35,805 --> 00:22:38,149
Maybe it's because that line means something

305
00:22:38,307 --> 00:22:39,809
and I missed it.

306
00:22:42,812 --> 00:22:45,782
The day the contest was announced,
the Halliday Journals appeared.

307
00:22:45,940 --> 00:22:49,740
He told us to look in his brain.
This was the next best thing.

308
00:22:49,902 --> 00:22:53,247
At first, it was jammed with
gunters looking for answers.

309
00:22:53,406 --> 00:22:55,875
Now, the once-crowded halls of Halliday's memories

310
00:22:56,033 --> 00:22:57,125
are left to people like me.

311
00:22:57,285 --> 00:22:59,913
Parzival. Oh, joy!

312
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:03,174
And how will you eat up my
valuable search time today?

313
00:23:03,583 --> 00:23:05,460
Gregarious Games, 2029... Office party.

314
00:23:05,751 --> 00:23:08,755
Office party. Yes, you've only
seen it a thousand times.

315
00:23:08,921 --> 00:23:10,844
Why not go back?

316
00:23:11,674 --> 00:23:15,224
Each entry into Halliday's
Journals is meticulously assembled

317
00:23:15,386 --> 00:23:17,730
from personal photographs, home video recordings,

318
00:23:17,888 --> 00:23:19,640
surveillance, and nanny cams.

319
00:23:19,807 --> 00:23:23,482
All rendered into a three
dimensional virtual experience.

320
00:23:23,644 --> 00:23:27,194
Also, Halliday archived every film,
game, book, and television program

321
00:23:27,315 --> 00:23:30,239
he ever saw, located on the mezzanine.

322
00:23:30,651 --> 00:23:34,076
No weapons or mature-themed avatars
are permitted within the Journals.

323
00:23:34,238 --> 00:23:37,538
Please enjoy your time with us, and happy gunting!

324
00:23:38,034 --> 00:23:39,707
I like cleaning up.

325
00:23:39,869 --> 00:23:42,247
Okay, Jim, I'm going.

326
00:23:47,209 --> 00:23:49,633
Everything changes, Jim. Everything evolves.

327
00:23:50,171 --> 00:23:53,391
Some things are perfect just
the way they are. Asteroids.

328
00:23:53,549 --> 00:23:57,554
People don't live inside
an Asteroids arcade cabinet.

329
00:23:58,929 --> 00:24:00,147
I know that.

330
00:24:00,306 --> 00:24:02,855
Yeah, well, people are living
inside the arcade we built.

331
00:24:03,017 --> 00:24:04,894
- I built.
- Uh, well...

332
00:24:05,186 --> 00:24:07,735
Right. Well, I guess you can say whatever you want.

333
00:24:07,897 --> 00:24:08,944
I don't really wanna talk about it anymore.

334
00:24:09,106 --> 00:24:10,449
No, of course you don't wanna talk about it.

335
00:24:10,608 --> 00:24:11,609
You're forcing me out.

336
00:24:12,026 --> 00:24:13,073
Closer on Halliday.

337
00:24:13,486 --> 00:24:15,284
Look, invention comes with responsibilities

338
00:24:15,446 --> 00:24:16,948
you didn't ask for.

339
00:24:17,615 --> 00:24:19,663
All right, if you make something people want or need

340
00:24:19,825 --> 00:24:22,453
then it's up to you to set the limits.
You have to make some rules.

341
00:24:22,620 --> 00:24:23,917
"I don't wanna make any more rules."

342
00:24:24,205 --> 00:24:25,957
I don't wanna make any more rules.

343
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,087
"I'm a dreamer."

344
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:28,501
I'm a dreamer.

345
00:24:28,793 --> 00:24:30,591
- I build worlds.
- "I build worlds."

346
00:24:31,712 --> 00:24:34,340
We created something beautiful,
Jim, but it's changed.

347
00:24:34,507 --> 00:24:35,975
Okay? It's really not a game anymore.

348
00:24:36,133 --> 00:24:37,476
Are we finished?

349
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,232
I liked how things were when they were...

350
00:24:43,724 --> 00:24:44,816
When it was a game.

351
00:24:44,975 --> 00:24:48,525
And we're back to where we started.
But that's the point, isn't it?

352
00:24:48,688 --> 00:24:50,907
Things move forward whether you like it or not.

353
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:53,237
Yeah, we're finished.

354
00:24:53,317 --> 00:24:54,944
Fine.

355
00:24:57,196 --> 00:25:00,951
Why can't we go backwards, for once?

356
00:25:03,327 --> 00:25:07,002
Backwards, really fast. Fast as we can.

357
00:25:07,540 --> 00:25:09,463
Really put the pedal to the metal, you know?

358
00:25:09,625 --> 00:25:11,844
Go back 10 seconds!

359
00:25:12,336 --> 00:25:16,091
Why can't we go backwards, for once?

360
00:25:16,966 --> 00:25:20,891
Backwards, really fast. Fast as we can.

361
00:25:21,387 --> 00:25:24,106
Really put the pedal to the metal, you know?

362
00:25:25,182 --> 00:25:26,650
Bill and Ted did it.

363
00:25:48,289 --> 00:25:50,292
Back again so soon?

364
00:25:51,917 --> 00:25:54,045
Careful not to lose your shit.

365
00:25:58,132 --> 00:25:59,850
You figured something out.

366
00:26:00,509 --> 00:26:02,682
Parzival, tell me.

367
00:27:42,820 --> 00:27:46,745
Nice racing, Padawan. You're the first to finish.

368
00:27:47,658 --> 00:27:52,130
Mr. Halliday... Anorak.

369
00:27:53,539 --> 00:27:54,791
It's such an honor.

370
00:27:55,082 --> 00:27:57,335
The honor is all mine.

371
00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:10,222
Get yourself a clue.

372
00:28:24,778 --> 00:28:28,248
Who is this Parzival,
and how the hell is he winning?

373
00:28:28,407 --> 00:28:30,876
Well, here's a better question. Who cares?

374
00:28:31,035 --> 00:28:32,878
Halliday's contest is vitally important.

375
00:28:33,037 --> 00:28:36,086
I mean, it's nothing less than
a war for control of the future.

376
00:28:36,248 --> 00:28:39,297
But this Parzival? He's not even clanned up.

377
00:28:39,460 --> 00:28:42,635
He's alone. We have an army.

378
00:28:42,796 --> 00:28:44,389
And yet, he's got the first key.

379
00:28:44,548 --> 00:28:45,970
Yeah, he has a key,

380
00:28:46,133 --> 00:28:49,262
but you have to get three of 'em to win the contest.

381
00:28:49,428 --> 00:28:51,931
Our stock dove 6% yesterday.

382
00:28:52,097 --> 00:28:55,897
Loyalty division is reporting profits of 28%. F'Nale.

383
00:28:56,060 --> 00:28:58,734
We're opening five new loyalty centers this month.

384
00:28:58,896 --> 00:29:00,773
Debt Services dwarfs Hardware.

385
00:29:00,940 --> 00:29:02,817
Now, you really wanna talk to me about stock prices?

386
00:29:02,983 --> 00:29:04,110
The shareholders won't be happy.

387
00:29:04,276 --> 00:29:07,530
It's not our job to make them happy.
It's our job to make them money,

388
00:29:07,696 --> 00:29:11,747
but once we launch this little baby,
they're gonna flip.

389
00:29:13,077 --> 00:29:16,126
We call this Pure O2.

390
00:29:16,288 --> 00:29:17,961
This is the first of our planned upgrades.

391
00:29:18,123 --> 00:29:20,626
Once we can roll back some
of Halliday's ad restrictions,

392
00:29:20,793 --> 00:29:24,673
we estimate we can sell up to 80%

393
00:29:24,838 --> 00:29:30,095
of an individual's visual field before
inducing seizures, so picture this...

394
00:29:30,260 --> 00:29:33,264
All of this implies we win the contest.

395
00:29:36,225 --> 00:29:38,314
Indeed, it does.

396
00:29:39,979 --> 00:29:42,858
Dude, you won the key and 100,000 coins?

397
00:29:42,982 --> 00:29:44,028
As soon as I took the key,

398
00:29:44,108 --> 00:29:45,485
all the coins just appeared in my account.

399
00:29:45,651 --> 00:29:48,655
I'll tell you what,
I'm soiling my haptics right now.

400
00:29:52,324 --> 00:29:53,951
What the hell's a Cataclyst?

401
00:29:54,118 --> 00:29:57,713
A bomb. Kills every avatar on a planet,
even the owner.

402
00:29:57,871 --> 00:29:58,872
Who'd want that?

403
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:01,133
IOI. They buy everything.

404
00:30:02,501 --> 00:30:05,129
Twenty-thou for the holy hand grenade?

405
00:30:05,295 --> 00:30:06,968
That's a steal!

406
00:30:09,299 --> 00:30:12,974
Whoa! Zemeckis Cube! I need one of those.

407
00:30:13,137 --> 00:30:14,810
Okay, don't spend all your money.

408
00:30:18,475 --> 00:30:20,773
X1 haptic bootsuit.

409
00:30:35,409 --> 00:30:36,831
Oh, yeah!

410
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,009
i-R0k, old friend. How are you?

411
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:36,762
To be honest, I have kind of a neck thing.

412
00:31:36,929 --> 00:31:38,727
It's like a carpel-tunnel deal

413
00:31:38,889 --> 00:31:40,607
but with your neck, if that's even a thing.

414
00:31:40,766 --> 00:31:43,235
So if you could just stand to your right.

415
00:31:43,393 --> 00:31:44,611
My right, your left.

416
00:31:46,522 --> 00:31:49,822
Thanks, it's the repetitive stress. Oh.

417
00:31:50,943 --> 00:31:52,035
Here he is.

418
00:31:54,154 --> 00:31:58,500
The steampunk pirate king.
I knew him well, Sorrento.

419
00:31:59,159 --> 00:32:01,378
There are only three things in this world I hate,

420
00:32:01,537 --> 00:32:05,337
steampunk, pirates, and tabbouleh.

421
00:32:05,499 --> 00:32:08,173
I mean, why do they even have it?

422
00:32:08,335 --> 00:32:10,338
Is there a reason we're meeting here?

423
00:32:11,046 --> 00:32:15,597
Yes, Nolan. The Orb of Osuvox.

424
00:32:16,301 --> 00:32:19,601
You wanted it. He had it. And so here it is.

425
00:32:23,433 --> 00:32:27,233
It creates an impenetrable magic
shield that can only be taken down

426
00:32:27,396 --> 00:32:29,615
by a magic spell.

427
00:32:29,773 --> 00:32:32,026
The Orb of Osuvox.

428
00:32:32,192 --> 00:32:33,444
Don't say that again.

429
00:32:33,610 --> 00:32:34,657
Okay.

430
00:32:36,864 --> 00:32:40,414
Now, I'm gonna need you to keep this for now.

431
00:32:40,576 --> 00:32:42,419
I'm gonna let you know when I wanna use it.

432
00:32:42,828 --> 00:32:43,829
Okay?

433
00:32:47,166 --> 00:32:51,217
Right now, though, I have another job for you.

434
00:32:51,336 --> 00:32:52,588
Ah.

435
00:32:52,671 --> 00:32:53,889
Parzival.

436
00:32:54,590 --> 00:32:57,514
Let me guess, you want him off the scoreboard.

437
00:32:58,385 --> 00:32:59,728
Can you do that?

438
00:32:59,887 --> 00:33:02,265
Well, he's a superstar.

439
00:33:02,431 --> 00:33:03,933
He made it through the first gate

440
00:33:04,099 --> 00:33:06,727
and avatars are gonna be on him like hoes on Santa.

441
00:33:06,894 --> 00:33:09,318
i-R0k, how much more do you want?

442
00:33:10,147 --> 00:33:13,196
That's what I like about you, Nolan. You never lick.

443
00:33:13,775 --> 00:33:15,652
You bite straight to the chocolaty center

444
00:33:15,819 --> 00:33:17,571
of the Tootsie Pop.

445
00:33:17,946 --> 00:33:20,199
Remember that old commercial, with the owl?

446
00:33:20,365 --> 00:33:21,366
i-R0k.

447
00:33:23,368 --> 00:33:24,745
Three times my normal fee.

448
00:33:25,162 --> 00:33:26,630
Done.

449
00:33:26,788 --> 00:33:28,506
Wait, really? I should have asked for five.

450
00:33:28,665 --> 00:33:30,588
Is four still on the table?

451
00:33:32,878 --> 00:33:35,302
There's five of us on the big board now.

452
00:33:35,881 --> 00:33:38,509
Art3mis was next, no surprise there.

453
00:33:38,675 --> 00:33:41,429
She was on the track when I won.
She saw me going backwards.

454
00:33:42,012 --> 00:33:46,393
I gave Aech a tip, made him promise
not to say anything, and then he won next.

455
00:33:47,059 --> 00:33:49,562
I'm pretty sure he bragged to our pal Daito,

456
00:33:49,728 --> 00:33:51,731
'cause he won right after.

457
00:33:52,439 --> 00:33:55,909
And of course, Daito told his best friend, Sho...

458
00:33:56,068 --> 00:33:58,036
He totally totaled his car,

459
00:33:58,195 --> 00:34:00,289
but then Sho got it, too.

460
00:34:09,331 --> 00:34:11,049
"A creator who hates his own creation.

461
00:34:11,333 --> 00:34:15,679
"A hidden key, a leap not taken.
Retrace your steps, escape your past."

462
00:34:16,088 --> 00:34:18,637
"A creator who hates his own creation.

463
00:34:18,799 --> 00:34:23,100
"A hidden key, a leap not taken.
Retrace your steps, escape your past.

464
00:34:23,262 --> 00:34:25,640
"And the key of jade will be yours at last."

465
00:35:07,556 --> 00:35:09,479
"Escape your past."

466
00:35:13,186 --> 00:35:16,110
What part of your past are you
trying to escape, Halliday?

467
00:35:27,993 --> 00:35:29,620
- Hey, it's Parzival!
- Dude!

468
00:35:31,204 --> 00:35:32,581
You're, like, totally my hero!

469
00:35:32,748 --> 00:35:33,749
Hey, Parzival! Over here!

470
00:35:33,915 --> 00:35:35,167
Dude, you're amazing!

471
00:35:36,043 --> 00:35:38,046
Hey, Parzival! Right here!
Let me get an autograph!

472
00:35:44,134 --> 00:35:45,181
Watch it!

473
00:35:45,344 --> 00:35:49,941
You're famous now!
You can't just go wherever you want!

474
00:35:50,098 --> 00:35:51,225
No, no, no, I...

475
00:35:56,146 --> 00:35:58,240
Huh?

476
00:36:01,777 --> 00:36:04,121
Ahh!

477
00:36:10,243 --> 00:36:14,294
That is... That is not funny.

478
00:36:14,456 --> 00:36:16,880
Oh, God.

479
00:36:17,125 --> 00:36:18,877
Ugh.

480
00:36:19,753 --> 00:36:22,006
Oh, God. Don't you get it?

481
00:36:22,547 --> 00:36:24,891
You're "the Parzival" now.

482
00:36:25,050 --> 00:36:26,472
You have to have a disguise.

483
00:36:28,804 --> 00:36:30,397
Okay, here.

484
00:36:31,681 --> 00:36:32,899
Clark Kent glasses.

485
00:36:33,058 --> 00:36:35,607
They hide your identity without changing your look.

486
00:36:44,403 --> 00:36:45,871
I'm not wearing that.

487
00:36:55,539 --> 00:36:56,836
This is great.

488
00:36:58,166 --> 00:36:59,964
The way your inventory bursts out when you die.

489
00:37:00,252 --> 00:37:01,549
They didn't want any more blood.

490
00:37:01,711 --> 00:37:03,384
This is right before the OASIS went live.

491
00:37:03,547 --> 00:37:06,972
Six days prior. December 2nd, 2025.

492
00:37:07,134 --> 00:37:09,011
Check this out.

493
00:37:09,177 --> 00:37:10,770
You know who that is?

494
00:37:12,431 --> 00:37:13,899
Is that Sorrento?

495
00:37:14,182 --> 00:37:15,980
Sorrento started as an intern.

496
00:37:16,143 --> 00:37:18,441
He claims he learned at the feet of the master.

497
00:37:18,603 --> 00:37:21,152
That's how he convinced IOI
to create the Sixers for him,

498
00:37:21,314 --> 00:37:22,486
his Halliday knowledge.

499
00:37:22,899 --> 00:37:25,027
But ask Ogden Morrow?

500
00:37:25,193 --> 00:37:29,198
He says the only thing Sorrento
actually knew about Halliday

501
00:37:29,364 --> 00:37:30,741
was how he liked his coffee.

502
00:37:30,907 --> 00:37:33,376
You could have, like, different tiers of accounts,

503
00:37:33,535 --> 00:37:35,003
like a gold member.

504
00:37:35,162 --> 00:37:38,666
A person could be silver, platinum, bronze.

505
00:37:38,832 --> 00:37:40,584
You know, depending on what they pay.

506
00:37:40,750 --> 00:37:43,629
Highest one maybe being
"Water" because "OASIS," right?

507
00:37:43,795 --> 00:37:45,342
Hell of a latte.

508
00:37:45,505 --> 00:37:47,633
Can you fast-forward to the
stuff about Halliday's date?

509
00:37:47,799 --> 00:37:49,551
What? Halliday actually went on a date?

510
00:37:53,930 --> 00:37:54,977
So, what happened?

511
00:37:55,390 --> 00:37:57,643
Nothing. I invited her over.

512
00:37:58,643 --> 00:38:00,691
Well, did you at least get her name?

513
00:38:01,271 --> 00:38:04,821
Yeah. Kira, I told you,
like the character in The Dark Crystal.

514
00:38:04,983 --> 00:38:06,735
That's her gamer tag.

515
00:38:08,862 --> 00:38:09,863
- Karen.
- Karen.

516
00:38:10,030 --> 00:38:11,953
Yeah, okay? Karen Underwood.

517
00:38:12,365 --> 00:38:15,835
No, no. Karen Underwood, as in Ogden Morrow's wife?

518
00:38:15,994 --> 00:38:17,246
Just watch.

519
00:38:17,996 --> 00:38:21,466
So, listen, you and Karen Underwood. What'd you do?

520
00:38:21,750 --> 00:38:24,048
She wanted to go dancing,

521
00:38:24,211 --> 00:38:26,509
so we watched a movie.

522
00:38:27,797 --> 00:38:28,969
And?

523
00:38:30,967 --> 00:38:32,640
Where's the juice?

524
00:38:32,802 --> 00:38:34,930
Give me some juice!

525
00:38:35,013 --> 00:38:37,732
- There is no juice!
- Oh, God!

526
00:38:38,391 --> 00:38:39,893
Hold the phone.

527
00:38:40,060 --> 00:38:43,781
Halliday went on a date with Ogden Morrow's wife?

528
00:38:44,189 --> 00:38:47,443
Just once, years before they
were even married, but yeah.

529
00:38:47,609 --> 00:38:49,828
And despite that, and the fact that she died,

530
00:38:49,986 --> 00:38:53,115
the name "Kira" is only mentioned
once in all of Halliday's Journals.

531
00:38:53,281 --> 00:38:54,453
That's not possible.

532
00:38:54,616 --> 00:38:56,334
It is. Look it up.

533
00:38:56,493 --> 00:38:58,791
What we just saw is the only
time she's ever mentioned.

534
00:38:58,954 --> 00:39:00,081
It makes no sense.

535
00:39:00,372 --> 00:39:02,670
She was an important part of both their lives.

536
00:39:02,832 --> 00:39:04,709
I'll bet you anything. All my coin.

537
00:39:06,586 --> 00:39:09,214
Search "Karen Underwood Morrow."

538
00:39:10,465 --> 00:39:13,469
Kira, I told you,
like the character in The Dark Crystal.

539
00:39:13,635 --> 00:39:15,012
That's her gamer tag.

540
00:39:15,303 --> 00:39:18,398
Halliday purposely removed every
mention of her except for this one.

541
00:39:18,557 --> 00:39:20,025
That's weird. Why?

542
00:39:20,183 --> 00:39:22,026
It's like, it was just so painful for him

543
00:39:22,185 --> 00:39:25,155
to have to see her face or hear her name.

544
00:39:25,313 --> 00:39:27,031
Well, he loved her.

545
00:39:27,190 --> 00:39:28,567
He couldn't tell that to Morrow.

546
00:39:28,733 --> 00:39:30,576
Oh, that's sad.
He should have told her how he felt.

547
00:39:30,735 --> 00:39:31,827
Yeah, well, he missed his chance.

548
00:39:32,237 --> 00:39:33,238
Look.

549
00:39:34,364 --> 00:39:37,413
I found the clue to the
race in the other scene, but...

550
00:39:37,576 --> 00:39:38,998
I've always felt that the biggest clue

551
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,628
to the contest was hidden here.

552
00:39:41,037 --> 00:39:42,755
You're right.

553
00:39:43,873 --> 00:39:45,466
I lose.

554
00:39:45,875 --> 00:39:47,127
Don't sweat it, Curator.

555
00:39:47,294 --> 00:39:50,013
You see, Kira is the Rosebud
at the center of his story.

556
00:39:50,171 --> 00:39:51,218
She's the big mystery.

557
00:39:51,381 --> 00:39:53,679
No, no. A bet is a bet.

558
00:39:55,260 --> 00:39:58,139
Oh, wow. A quarter. You can keep it.

559
00:39:58,305 --> 00:40:00,399
No. You can keep it.

560
00:40:03,768 --> 00:40:06,066
- You free Thursday?
- Who, me?

561
00:40:06,855 --> 00:40:08,573
No, him.

562
00:40:09,816 --> 00:40:11,614
Oh, my God. Yes, you!

563
00:40:13,945 --> 00:40:15,538
You know The Distracted Globe?

564
00:40:15,697 --> 00:40:17,745
Yeah, the dance club.

565
00:40:19,743 --> 00:40:22,417
Meet me there. 10:00 p.m.

566
00:40:22,579 --> 00:40:24,798
There's something I wanna show you.

567
00:40:25,624 --> 00:40:27,126
Uh, bye-bye!

568
00:40:28,251 --> 00:40:29,878
Did she just ask me out?

569
00:40:30,045 --> 00:40:31,763
And I was starting to like her.

570
00:40:31,921 --> 00:40:33,594
All right.

571
00:40:33,757 --> 00:40:35,259
I don't do that.

572
00:40:38,887 --> 00:40:40,810
Z, I can't believe you told her about Kira.

573
00:40:40,972 --> 00:40:43,350
What? I told you.

574
00:40:43,516 --> 00:40:45,814
Hey, what about this?

575
00:40:47,437 --> 00:40:50,156
No. Have you considered that
Art3mis could be using you?

576
00:40:50,315 --> 00:40:54,240
Hey, dude, she's giving me a clue.
Maybe I'm the one using her.

577
00:40:54,778 --> 00:40:58,078
Should I go more Thriller?

578
00:40:58,365 --> 00:40:59,742
No.

579
00:41:00,533 --> 00:41:01,534
Punk?

580
00:41:01,660 --> 00:41:02,661
No.

581
00:41:04,746 --> 00:41:05,873
Duran Duran.

582
00:41:06,122 --> 00:41:07,123
No.

583
00:41:07,957 --> 00:41:08,958
Does it look like I'm trying too hard?

584
00:41:09,125 --> 00:41:12,220
Yes! Listen to yourself!

585
00:41:12,379 --> 00:41:15,383
You have a massive cyber crush on this girl.

586
00:41:15,548 --> 00:41:18,051
She's hacking your heart to get to your head.

587
00:41:19,636 --> 00:41:21,434
I got it!

588
00:41:22,639 --> 00:41:24,516
- Buckaroo Banzai?
- Yeah!

589
00:41:24,683 --> 00:41:27,778
Really? You're gonna wear the
outfit from your favorite movie?

590
00:41:27,936 --> 00:41:29,154
Don't be that guy.

591
00:41:29,312 --> 00:41:30,359
I am that guy.

592
00:41:30,522 --> 00:41:32,946
Z, you gotta be more careful
about who you meet in the OASIS.

593
00:41:33,108 --> 00:41:36,237
Aech, Art3mis gets me. She'll get my outfit.

594
00:41:36,403 --> 00:41:39,248
There's just this connection.
I mean, sometimes, we even...

595
00:41:39,406 --> 00:41:40,953
- Finish each other's sentences?
- Yeah!

596
00:41:41,116 --> 00:41:43,870
We have that. Me and you.

597
00:41:44,035 --> 00:41:47,414
Yeah, I know, but that's because
we're best friends, dude.

598
00:41:47,580 --> 00:41:49,378
She could be a dude, too, dude.

599
00:41:49,541 --> 00:41:50,542
Come on.

600
00:41:50,709 --> 00:41:52,256
I'm serious!

601
00:41:52,419 --> 00:41:55,047
She could actually be a 300-pound dude

602
00:41:55,213 --> 00:41:57,591
who lives in his mama's
basement in suburban Detroit.

603
00:41:58,383 --> 00:42:00,226
And her name is Chuck.

604
00:42:01,928 --> 00:42:03,771
Think about that.

605
00:42:33,752 --> 00:42:34,879
Whoa, dude, is that Parzival?

606
00:42:35,086 --> 00:42:36,713
- Parzival!
- Oh, my God, Parzival!

607
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,474
Come here, man. Hey, can we get a photo?

608
00:42:42,135 --> 00:42:44,308
- Thank you so much!
- Dude, you're my hero!

609
00:42:44,471 --> 00:42:45,768
Hey, Parzival.

610
00:42:48,057 --> 00:42:49,900
Thank you.

611
00:43:03,740 --> 00:43:06,664
Get out of town! Buckaroo Banzai?

612
00:43:06,826 --> 00:43:08,999
- Huh?
- I like it. I like Buckaroo Banzai.

613
00:43:09,162 --> 00:43:10,664
- Oh, thanks!
- It's great!

614
00:43:10,830 --> 00:43:12,544
- Yeah! You look...
- Oh.

615
00:43:12,624 --> 00:43:13,967
You look awesome!

616
00:43:14,125 --> 00:43:15,252
- Thank you.
- Wow.

617
00:43:17,045 --> 00:43:18,763
A big one, a small one?

618
00:43:18,922 --> 00:43:20,049
A big one!

619
00:43:35,313 --> 00:43:37,281
Get out of here.

620
00:43:38,983 --> 00:43:40,735
- What a freak!
- I thought he was kind of cute.

621
00:43:40,902 --> 00:43:42,279
Have you been here before?

622
00:43:42,445 --> 00:43:44,072
It's cool, right? I mean...

623
00:43:44,155 --> 00:43:46,374
So, what's the plan?

624
00:43:46,533 --> 00:43:48,831
Are you gonna kill their avatars? Zero them out?

625
00:43:48,993 --> 00:43:50,961
They're both here at The Distracted Globe.

626
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,463
I can't talk.

627
00:43:53,581 --> 00:43:55,333
The Distracted Globe was one of the first clubs

628
00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:56,592
Halliday created in the OASIS.

629
00:43:56,751 --> 00:43:58,094
That's common knowledge.

630
00:43:58,253 --> 00:43:59,721
But I double-checked

631
00:43:59,879 --> 00:44:02,883
and it turns out he started building
it right after that moment you showed me.

632
00:44:03,049 --> 00:44:04,050
The date with Kira.

633
00:44:04,217 --> 00:44:06,265
Right, and she was a serious dancer.

634
00:44:06,427 --> 00:44:08,350
Maybe he thought he'd take her here,

635
00:44:08,513 --> 00:44:10,732
like on a virtual date.

636
00:44:11,349 --> 00:44:12,521
As if that ever works.

637
00:44:13,226 --> 00:44:14,353
So Halliday built it for her?

638
00:44:14,519 --> 00:44:15,896
But they never made it past the first date.

639
00:44:16,062 --> 00:44:17,359
So Halliday's the creator...

640
00:44:17,522 --> 00:44:18,523
Who hates his own creation.

641
00:44:18,606 --> 00:44:19,824
And the club is the thing he hates.

642
00:44:19,983 --> 00:44:22,486
And "A hidden key, a leap not taken"?

643
00:44:25,947 --> 00:44:27,199
But people jump off it all night long.

644
00:44:27,365 --> 00:44:29,208
But none of those people had the Copper Key,

645
00:44:29,367 --> 00:44:32,916
so when we jump off, maybe it's different. Right?

646
00:44:32,996 --> 00:44:33,997
Right.

647
00:44:36,875 --> 00:44:38,172
So we take it together?

648
00:44:38,334 --> 00:44:39,506
Sure.

649
00:44:41,504 --> 00:44:43,472
We're not clanning up or anything.

650
00:44:43,631 --> 00:44:46,680
Of course not. I don't clan.

651
00:44:47,802 --> 00:44:48,803
Wait...

652
00:44:48,970 --> 00:44:50,267
Whoa!

653
00:44:51,681 --> 00:44:53,354
Ow! Whoa.

654
00:44:57,854 --> 00:45:01,484
I don't think this is it.
No scoreboard, no obstacles.

655
00:45:01,649 --> 00:45:04,277
- Maybe a dance challenge?
- Whoa!

656
00:45:19,792 --> 00:45:21,760
Old-school!

657
00:45:45,151 --> 00:45:46,323
You come prepared?

658
00:45:46,486 --> 00:45:47,704
"Prepared"?

659
00:45:51,324 --> 00:45:53,748
What kind of haptics you rockin'?

660
00:45:53,910 --> 00:45:56,254
You got the gloves and full visor, or a full body?

661
00:46:00,333 --> 00:46:01,755
Can you feel this?

662
00:46:04,796 --> 00:46:06,048
Um, yeah.

663
00:46:06,214 --> 00:46:09,593
I got the X1 haptic bootsuit
with the microfiber crotch inlay.

664
00:46:22,021 --> 00:46:24,945
My, Parzival, you did come prepared.

665
00:46:28,319 --> 00:46:30,993
So, I've been thinking.

666
00:46:31,906 --> 00:46:34,375
Maybe it'd be cool if we met up in the real world.

667
00:46:34,534 --> 00:46:35,956
No, you'd be disappointed.

668
00:46:36,119 --> 00:46:38,588
No, I wouldn't. I like you.

669
00:46:38,746 --> 00:46:40,840
You don't even know me.

670
00:46:40,999 --> 00:46:42,672
This isn't what I really look like.

671
00:46:42,834 --> 00:46:46,680
This isn't my real body, or my real face.

672
00:46:46,838 --> 00:46:48,385
I don't care.

673
00:46:48,548 --> 00:46:49,766
I wanna know your real name.

674
00:47:03,354 --> 00:47:04,822
- My name's Wade.
- What?

675
00:47:06,357 --> 00:47:08,155
- I said my name's...
- Stop!

676
00:47:08,317 --> 00:47:11,036
Well, Buckaroo blows it. Shocking.

677
00:47:11,195 --> 00:47:13,664
Are you crazy? You don't tell anyone who you are.

678
00:47:13,823 --> 00:47:15,166
You can't use your real name.

679
00:47:15,324 --> 00:47:16,416
You're not just anyone.

680
00:47:16,576 --> 00:47:17,668
You don't know me.

681
00:47:17,827 --> 00:47:19,454
You don't know anything about me.
We've never met.

682
00:47:19,620 --> 00:47:21,372
I do know you, Arty.

683
00:47:23,166 --> 00:47:24,668
I'm in love with you.

684
00:47:33,217 --> 00:47:34,560
- Is this part of the challenge?
- No.

685
00:47:35,595 --> 00:47:36,767
It's an ambush.

686
00:47:44,270 --> 00:47:46,398
IOI, always in the way.

687
00:47:47,023 --> 00:47:48,696
Did you hear what I said?
I said I'm in love with you.

688
00:47:48,858 --> 00:47:50,235
No, you're not.

689
00:47:51,819 --> 00:47:53,287
You only know what I want you to know.

690
00:47:53,446 --> 00:47:55,289
You only see what I want you to see.

691
00:47:58,242 --> 00:48:00,040
That's what you're in love with.

692
00:48:13,925 --> 00:48:15,052
Watch out!

693
00:48:25,311 --> 00:48:26,733
Pull.

694
00:48:39,367 --> 00:48:42,416
Head back! Z! Your armor is running low.

695
00:48:42,578 --> 00:48:43,705
I just bought this.

696
00:48:51,796 --> 00:48:52,923
Zemeckis Cube.

697
00:48:53,089 --> 00:48:54,932
Turns everything back in time 60 seconds.

698
00:48:59,554 --> 00:49:01,557
And you waited until now to use it?

699
00:49:09,689 --> 00:49:11,817
Wow, you were amazing.

700
00:49:14,986 --> 00:49:17,159
This isn't a game, Z.

701
00:49:18,489 --> 00:49:20,287
I'm doing this to stop IOI.

702
00:49:20,449 --> 00:49:22,793
I'm talking about real-world consequences.

703
00:49:22,952 --> 00:49:24,374
People suffering.

704
00:49:24,537 --> 00:49:25,755
- Actual life-and-death stuff.
- I know. I know...

705
00:49:25,913 --> 00:49:30,385
No, you don't know!
My dad died in a loyalty center.

706
00:49:31,335 --> 00:49:34,054
- He borrowed gear.
- He built up debt.

707
00:49:34,505 --> 00:49:37,850
He moved in with the promise of
working it off, but he never did.

708
00:49:38,009 --> 00:49:39,727
IOI just raised his living expenses,

709
00:49:39,886 --> 00:49:41,308
then he got sick, and he couldn't afford to get out.

710
00:49:41,470 --> 00:49:43,188
And then he died!

711
00:49:43,973 --> 00:49:44,974
I'm so sorry, I didn't...

712
00:49:45,141 --> 00:49:47,269
No, you don't live in the real world, Z.

713
00:49:47,435 --> 00:49:50,189
From what you've told me,
I don't think you ever have.

714
00:49:50,521 --> 00:49:53,946
You live inside this... This illusion,

715
00:49:54,108 --> 00:49:56,111
and I can't afford to let you distract me.

716
00:50:08,873 --> 00:50:11,045
How the hell did they get away?

717
00:50:11,125 --> 00:50:13,253
Do you want the long version? Your guys suck.

718
00:50:13,419 --> 00:50:14,966
They failed to kill his avatar,

719
00:50:15,129 --> 00:50:17,223
which, if we're offering constructive criticism,

720
00:50:17,381 --> 00:50:20,055
was a lame idea and only would've slowed him down.

721
00:50:20,218 --> 00:50:24,394
Whereas my plan, which was cool
because I rock, actually worked.

722
00:50:24,555 --> 00:50:25,977
He's still on the board.

723
00:50:26,140 --> 00:50:29,690
I know that, Nolan. But he won't be for long.

724
00:50:29,852 --> 00:50:31,650
I did a search for all the Wades

725
00:50:31,812 --> 00:50:33,860
who had recently bought an X1 bootsuit,

726
00:50:34,023 --> 00:50:37,072
cross-referenced that with
public records, and voilà,

727
00:50:37,235 --> 00:50:41,240
which is French for... "And then I found out."

728
00:50:41,864 --> 00:50:43,036
Ready?

729
00:50:43,199 --> 00:50:47,875
The real-world identity of Parzival is Wade Watts.

730
00:50:48,663 --> 00:50:50,210
Voilà.

731
00:50:51,916 --> 00:50:54,089
Are you loyal, Ms. Zandor?

732
00:50:54,794 --> 00:50:56,421
You really want me to answer that?

733
00:50:56,587 --> 00:51:00,224
Well, when you're at war,
you need people who are loyal to a fault.

734
00:51:01,175 --> 00:51:02,893
People you can count on to get things done.

735
00:51:03,052 --> 00:51:05,555
I just get people arrested
for not paying their bills.

736
00:51:05,721 --> 00:51:08,475
Yeah, 'cause there are some problems
that require a physical solution,

737
00:51:08,641 --> 00:51:11,065
but there are other times, particularly at war,

738
00:51:11,227 --> 00:51:12,774
when you need a different set of rules.

739
00:51:12,937 --> 00:51:14,280
- The rules of war.
- Exactly.

740
00:51:14,438 --> 00:51:17,192
It's too bad my division
doesn't operate inside the OASIS.

741
00:51:17,358 --> 00:51:20,112
Yeah, but if this war remains in the OASIS,

742
00:51:20,278 --> 00:51:21,746
then you can't do anything.

743
00:51:22,655 --> 00:51:25,454
So, this is one of those conversations
that we're not really having.

744
00:51:25,616 --> 00:51:27,209
Well, we've had these kind of conversations before,

745
00:51:27,368 --> 00:51:28,369
and look where you are now.

746
00:51:28,536 --> 00:51:30,960
You got a seat on the board,
head of your own division,

747
00:51:31,122 --> 00:51:34,922
a division that will cease to exist
if the wrong person wins this contest.

748
00:51:35,084 --> 00:51:38,259
F'Nale, a game decides our fate.

749
00:51:38,421 --> 00:51:42,176
The only question is,
how far are we willing to go to win it?

750
00:51:44,385 --> 00:51:46,433
Tell me what you need, Nolan.

751
00:53:04,799 --> 00:53:06,301
Whoa.

752
00:53:10,137 --> 00:53:11,138
Where am I?

753
00:53:11,305 --> 00:53:14,059
IOI Plaza. You're a hologram in the real world.

754
00:53:14,975 --> 00:53:16,193
That's a really cool rig.

755
00:53:16,352 --> 00:53:20,528
Thank you. It's a brand-new Habashaw, OIR 9400.

756
00:53:20,689 --> 00:53:22,407
It looks like a giant hamster ball.

757
00:53:22,566 --> 00:53:27,288
You know, if you came to work at IOI,
you'd get one of these.

758
00:53:27,446 --> 00:53:28,664
I don't clan up.

759
00:53:28,823 --> 00:53:31,451
You'd also get your own
penthouse apartment in Columbus

760
00:53:31,617 --> 00:53:33,745
with the highest-speed connection.

761
00:53:33,911 --> 00:53:38,836
In the OASIS, you'd get unlimited weapons,
magic items, ships.

762
00:53:38,916 --> 00:53:41,010
You want the ship from Defender?

763
00:53:41,168 --> 00:53:43,762
You know, the kind that can
just jump into hyperspace?

764
00:53:43,921 --> 00:53:45,764
You want the Millennium Falcon?

765
00:53:46,715 --> 00:53:47,716
You have that?

766
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,849
Anything you need to help you find that egg,

767
00:53:51,011 --> 00:53:52,308
and then there's the salary.

768
00:53:53,472 --> 00:53:55,440
Four million a year.

769
00:53:55,599 --> 00:53:59,024
And if you do happen to find
that Easter egg, there's a bonus.

770
00:53:59,186 --> 00:54:01,439
Twenty-five million dollars.

771
00:54:06,861 --> 00:54:10,286
I can see you're using emotion
suppressing software right now,

772
00:54:10,448 --> 00:54:13,293
and why wouldn't you?
It's smart, not to show your hand.

773
00:54:18,789 --> 00:54:22,464
It is a lot of money. I could really use it.

774
00:54:27,465 --> 00:54:29,684
But I don't think you and
I would have the same plans.

775
00:54:29,842 --> 00:54:32,721
Well, I don't know about that.
What, for the OASIS?

776
00:54:32,887 --> 00:54:36,016
I guess if you're not a John Hughes fan...

777
00:54:37,183 --> 00:54:38,776
Of course I am.

778
00:54:38,934 --> 00:54:41,403
Because the first thing that I would do

779
00:54:41,562 --> 00:54:45,157
is convert all the schools on Ludus to replicas

780
00:54:45,316 --> 00:54:48,320
from The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller.

781
00:54:48,486 --> 00:54:50,739
No way. That's a great idea.

782
00:54:51,655 --> 00:54:53,953
Which school, Ridgemont or Faber?

783
00:54:54,116 --> 00:54:57,040
Fast Times at Ridgemont High, not John Hughes.

784
00:54:57,203 --> 00:55:00,298
It's a trap. Faber College from Animal House.

785
00:55:00,456 --> 00:55:01,753
John Hughes didn't direct

786
00:55:01,916 --> 00:55:04,465
Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Animal House.

787
00:55:05,085 --> 00:55:08,260
Ferris Bueller and The Breakfast Club,
they went to Shermer High School,

788
00:55:08,422 --> 00:55:11,176
which is in Shermer, Illinois.
I know what you think.

789
00:55:11,967 --> 00:55:13,514
You think I'm a corporate asshole,

790
00:55:13,677 --> 00:55:15,896
that I don't appreciate pop culture, but...

791
00:55:17,056 --> 00:55:20,026
Man, that's not true.
You know, when I wanna blow off steam...

792
00:55:20,184 --> 00:55:23,984
Drink Tab, play Robotron, listen to Duran Duran.

793
00:55:24,146 --> 00:55:25,568
I crack open a Tab.

794
00:55:25,731 --> 00:55:27,984
I put on some Duran Duran. I play Robotron.

795
00:55:28,150 --> 00:55:30,118
That's why I love the OASIS.

796
00:55:30,277 --> 00:55:33,452
'Cause it's just full of all these things, man,

797
00:55:33,614 --> 00:55:35,082
that people love. You know?

798
00:55:42,957 --> 00:55:45,301
I'm a businessman. I get it.

799
00:55:45,459 --> 00:55:48,087
But I gotta do my job.

800
00:55:48,254 --> 00:55:53,010
But I didn't ask you here just
to help us find the egg, Parzival.

801
00:55:54,009 --> 00:55:57,764
I asked you here for what comes after.

802
00:55:59,014 --> 00:56:00,641
What would Halliday say?

803
00:56:01,725 --> 00:56:04,399
James Halliday is dead.

804
00:56:05,688 --> 00:56:08,612
Yeah. He is.

805
00:56:09,692 --> 00:56:13,538
All that's left of him is this contest.
And you know what?

806
00:56:14,613 --> 00:56:16,832
It just seems like he wouldn't want you winning it.

807
00:56:16,991 --> 00:56:18,163
A fanboy knows a hater,

808
00:56:18,325 --> 00:56:20,919
and I know you've got a whole
department of oologists in your ear.

809
00:56:21,078 --> 00:56:23,172
So, if you wanna know what I really think...

810
00:56:23,330 --> 00:56:24,798
I think you're full of shit.

811
00:56:30,170 --> 00:56:31,262
Here's my offer.

812
00:56:31,422 --> 00:56:33,174
Your board of directors,
you got them in the other ear?

813
00:56:33,340 --> 00:56:35,217
Why don't you tell 'em this.

814
00:56:36,427 --> 00:56:38,851
If they dump you, I'll consider it.

815
00:56:39,221 --> 00:56:41,269
I might say something off the record.

816
00:56:42,308 --> 00:56:43,810
I had to make the offer.

817
00:56:43,976 --> 00:56:47,196
The board expected it,
but I was really hoping you'd say no.

818
00:56:47,354 --> 00:56:50,608
Because if anyone's gonna win
this competition, it's me.

819
00:56:50,774 --> 00:56:52,151
My avatar gets the egg

820
00:56:52,318 --> 00:56:55,913
'cause I'm the only one here
with the balls to run this place.

821
00:56:56,196 --> 00:56:58,540
Wow, you really switched gears there.

822
00:56:58,699 --> 00:57:01,077
From fairly reasonable to maniacal overlord.

823
00:57:01,785 --> 00:57:03,708
You should be grateful, Wade.

824
00:57:04,788 --> 00:57:07,963
You won't be around to endure my maniacal reign.

825
00:57:08,208 --> 00:57:09,835
Yeah, that's right. I know who you are.

826
00:57:10,002 --> 00:57:14,599
Wade Owen Watts, born August 12, 2027.

827
00:57:15,257 --> 00:57:19,103
I also know where you are.
Unit 56K, Columbus stacks.

828
00:57:19,261 --> 00:57:21,855
You were last seen entering
your trailer three days ago.

829
00:57:22,014 --> 00:57:23,391
You haven't left since.

830
00:57:23,557 --> 00:57:24,558
What are you doing? You can't...

831
00:57:24,725 --> 00:57:25,817
With all that's going on in the world,

832
00:57:25,976 --> 00:57:28,812
do you really think that anyone's
gonna give a damn about an explosion

833
00:57:28,979 --> 00:57:31,698
in some ghetto trash rat warren in Columbus?

834
00:57:31,857 --> 00:57:33,951
Sorrento, don't do this. I'm not even there!

835
00:57:34,109 --> 00:57:35,952
Not for long.

836
00:57:39,657 --> 00:57:41,705
Call Alice.

837
00:57:41,867 --> 00:57:43,540
Dial Alice.

838
00:58:10,062 --> 00:58:11,905
Pick up! Pick up! Alice!

839
00:58:17,027 --> 00:58:19,325
This bootsuit's pretty awesome. Thanks for that.

840
00:58:19,488 --> 00:58:21,411
Rick! Rick, the place is gonna blow!

841
00:58:21,573 --> 00:58:22,916
Rick, is that Wade?

842
00:58:23,075 --> 00:58:25,123
- Put Alice on!
- Let me talk to him.

843
00:58:25,285 --> 00:58:27,207
Don't call here anymore, you got me?

844
00:58:28,664 --> 00:58:31,543
I don't wanna hear your voice ever again.

845
00:59:08,579 --> 00:59:12,129
Contact Aech, Daito, Sho, and Art3mis.

846
00:59:12,958 --> 00:59:15,006
IOI came for me in the real world.

847
00:59:15,169 --> 00:59:17,883
They gotta be coming after you,
so wherever you are...

848
00:59:44,031 --> 00:59:45,908
Sorry about the blindfold.

849
00:59:46,074 --> 00:59:48,202
My guys are a little paranoid.

850
00:59:49,077 --> 00:59:50,670
Say that again.

851
00:59:51,288 --> 00:59:53,632
My guys are a little paranoid.

852
00:59:54,750 --> 00:59:56,172
Art3mis?

853
00:59:57,753 --> 01:00:01,758
My real name is Samantha, but yeah, I'm Art3mis.

854
01:00:03,675 --> 01:00:06,349
Showers are that way, clean clothes, too.

855
01:00:09,681 --> 01:00:13,686
Welcome to the rebellion, Wade.

856
01:00:24,905 --> 01:00:28,910
That's IOI. So the stacks are over there?

857
01:00:30,410 --> 01:00:33,209
We've been living this close
to each other the whole time?

858
01:00:34,706 --> 01:00:36,003
Next door,

859
01:00:36,875 --> 01:00:40,926
around the world,
it's all the same in the OASIS.

860
01:00:43,423 --> 01:00:45,391
For the record,

861
01:00:45,843 --> 01:00:47,264
um...

862
01:00:47,344 --> 01:00:49,563
I'm not disappointed.

863
01:00:51,348 --> 01:00:54,272
You said I would be disappointed when I met you, but...

864
01:00:54,434 --> 01:00:56,107
I'm not.

865
01:00:57,688 --> 01:01:00,442
I've lived with it my whole life.
You don't have to pretend.

866
01:01:15,038 --> 01:01:17,757
You have a birthmark, so what?

867
01:01:18,709 --> 01:01:20,382
Why would that scare me?

868
01:01:27,634 --> 01:01:29,887
Z, if I hurt you, I'm sorry.

869
01:01:30,262 --> 01:01:31,434
No, it's...

870
01:01:32,472 --> 01:01:34,816
Wait, did you just call me "Z"?

871
01:01:35,767 --> 01:01:37,731
- Oh, my God. Did I?
- I think you did.

872
01:01:37,811 --> 01:01:39,438
Wade, I'm sorry.

873
01:01:39,688 --> 01:01:41,861
Yeah, Wade, Z.

874
01:01:42,024 --> 01:01:45,153
You can call me whatever you want.
And I'll call you Sam.

875
01:01:45,319 --> 01:01:46,320
No.

876
01:01:47,446 --> 01:01:48,447
Samantha?

877
01:01:48,947 --> 01:01:51,166
Okay. Cool.

878
01:01:58,498 --> 01:02:00,216
Wow.

879
01:02:01,084 --> 01:02:03,132
It's so much slower here.

880
01:02:04,546 --> 01:02:07,846
I mean, the wind, the people...

881
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,558
Everything.

882
01:02:16,808 --> 01:02:18,811
We forget what it's like to be outside.

883
01:02:19,269 --> 01:02:20,270
Yeah.

884
01:02:23,607 --> 01:02:25,985
- Uh...
- Oh, shit!

885
01:02:27,069 --> 01:02:28,571
- I just figured it out.
- Figured what out?

886
01:02:28,737 --> 01:02:30,114
The second clue. I know what it means.

887
01:02:36,495 --> 01:02:37,997
We've been thinking about it too literally.

888
01:02:38,580 --> 01:02:39,581
"The leap not taken,"

889
01:02:39,748 --> 01:02:42,172
the leap Halliday didn't take, is with Kira.

890
01:02:42,334 --> 01:02:46,009
Yeah, but... I mean, he blamed
her for breaking up him and Morrow.

891
01:02:46,171 --> 01:02:48,970
No. Halliday was madly in love with her.

892
01:02:49,132 --> 01:02:51,385
He had a chance with Kira.
He had a chance to kiss her, but...

893
01:02:51,551 --> 01:02:52,643
He didn't take the leap.

894
01:02:52,803 --> 01:02:55,477
Right. So that's where we go next.

895
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,017
The place where the leap wasn't taken.

896
01:02:58,183 --> 01:02:59,184
Where the date was.

897
01:02:59,643 --> 01:03:01,270
At the movies!

898
01:03:02,020 --> 01:03:03,647
Hey, Curator.

899
01:03:03,814 --> 01:03:05,657
We figured out the second clue.
The challenge is here.

900
01:03:05,816 --> 01:03:07,693
Halliday kept track of every movie he ever watched,

901
01:03:07,859 --> 01:03:10,783
the week and the year he watched it,
and how many times.

902
01:03:10,946 --> 01:03:15,042
Curator, can we see November 23 to 27, 2025?

903
01:03:15,701 --> 01:03:17,499
That's the week he went on the date with Kira.

904
01:03:22,124 --> 01:03:25,594
Okay, so our options for
that week are The Fly remake.

905
01:03:25,752 --> 01:03:27,720
Great flick, terrible date movie.

906
01:03:27,879 --> 01:03:30,473
Say Anything... That would make sense.

907
01:03:31,383 --> 01:03:35,764
We gotta remember the clue.
"A creator who hates his own creation."

908
01:03:40,434 --> 01:03:42,232
The Shining!

909
01:03:42,394 --> 01:03:44,522
It's Halliday's 11th favorite horror film,

910
01:03:44,688 --> 01:03:46,985
and it's based on the
best-selling book by Stephen King,

911
01:03:47,065 --> 01:03:48,066
who hated the movie!

912
01:03:48,692 --> 01:03:50,615
Hey! No side chitchat.

913
01:03:50,777 --> 01:03:52,074
I think we found it.

914
01:03:55,866 --> 01:03:58,415
Are you absolutely sure you want to go here?

915
01:03:58,577 --> 01:04:00,295
Absolutely positive.

916
01:04:00,454 --> 01:04:02,878
Let's hope you have the belly for it.

917
01:04:46,249 --> 01:04:47,341
Look.

918
01:04:48,835 --> 01:04:50,838
Ticking clock.

919
01:04:51,004 --> 01:04:53,758
Okay, so I'm estimating about

920
01:04:54,841 --> 01:04:56,718
five minutes to find the key.

921
01:04:56,885 --> 01:04:58,353
Yeah, there are so many keys in The Shining, though.

922
01:04:58,512 --> 01:04:59,934
Where do we start?

923
01:05:01,348 --> 01:05:04,568
I've never seen The Shining. Is it really scary?

924
01:05:04,768 --> 01:05:07,943
Uh, I had to watch it through my fingers.

925
01:05:08,688 --> 01:05:11,032
Okay, so we got the key from room 237,

926
01:05:11,650 --> 01:05:13,402
the keys to the Snowcat,

927
01:05:13,568 --> 01:05:15,241
or the keys they give Jack
at the beginning of the movie.

928
01:05:15,403 --> 01:05:17,117
Well, if it's "the leap not taken,"

929
01:05:17,197 --> 01:05:18,198
maybe the key isn't a key at all.

930
01:05:18,365 --> 01:05:19,583
I know where the Snowcat keys are!

931
01:05:19,741 --> 01:05:20,788
I say we split up.

932
01:05:20,951 --> 01:05:21,952
We get all the keys

933
01:05:22,077 --> 01:05:24,080
and then we meet back at the Torrances' apartment.

934
01:05:28,083 --> 01:05:29,710
Hello, Danny.

935
01:05:30,961 --> 01:05:32,588
Come play with us.

936
01:05:32,754 --> 01:05:35,974
Little girls, y'all know how to get out of here?

937
01:05:40,971 --> 01:05:41,972
Wait, wait!

938
01:05:42,139 --> 01:05:44,107
Wait, where's Aech?

939
01:05:44,266 --> 01:05:45,518
Wait!

940
01:05:46,643 --> 01:05:47,644
Aech!

941
01:05:48,436 --> 01:05:49,483
No, no, no, no!

942
01:06:07,706 --> 01:06:09,333
Ahh!

943
01:06:14,045 --> 01:06:15,638
Ahh!

944
01:06:49,164 --> 01:06:51,883
Oh, uh, hi, naked lady. I'm sorry.

945
01:06:52,042 --> 01:06:53,794
I didn't mean to interrupt, uh, your bath time.

946
01:06:54,127 --> 01:06:55,925
I know self-care can be important.

947
01:06:56,129 --> 01:06:59,304
Uh, but can you do me a favor and tell me,
where are all the exits?

948
01:07:02,928 --> 01:07:04,430
Huh. Whoa.

949
01:07:04,512 --> 01:07:06,731
Okay, am I being punked?

950
01:07:06,890 --> 01:07:09,234
'Cause you're likin' me a little way too much.

951
01:07:10,769 --> 01:07:12,897
All right, you know what? I'ma go with it.

952
01:07:26,451 --> 01:07:27,498
Ahh!

953
01:08:04,823 --> 01:08:06,075
Time's running out.

954
01:08:06,241 --> 01:08:08,209
Yo, Z, is Art3mis pissed at me?

955
01:08:08,368 --> 01:08:10,621
Dude, I'm pissed at you.
You've never seen The Shining, have you?

956
01:08:10,787 --> 01:08:12,005
You know I hate scary movies!

957
01:08:12,163 --> 01:08:13,164
We got the key.

958
01:08:13,331 --> 01:08:14,583
Sweet! To room 237!

959
01:08:14,749 --> 01:08:17,127
We ain't got no business goin' to room 237!

960
01:08:17,294 --> 01:08:18,295
We should stay out!

961
01:08:18,461 --> 01:08:20,555
Plus, there was this crazy,
naked zombie lady in there.

962
01:08:20,714 --> 01:08:22,216
There are no zombies in The Shining.

963
01:08:22,382 --> 01:08:24,225
Well, maybe it's not supposed to be like the movie.

964
01:08:24,384 --> 01:08:25,931
Kira is the key. You're the one who said it.

965
01:08:26,094 --> 01:08:28,222
Hey, y'all. I saw a picture of Kira!

966
01:08:28,305 --> 01:08:30,353
Huh?

967
01:08:32,892 --> 01:08:33,939
Where?

968
01:08:40,942 --> 01:08:44,242
It's Kira. "Escape your past."

969
01:08:45,071 --> 01:08:46,914
"The leap not taken."

970
01:08:48,283 --> 01:08:51,707
Halliday's greatest fear wasn't
The Shining or any book or movie.

971
01:08:52,746 --> 01:08:55,545
His biggest fear was kissing a girl.

972
01:08:56,333 --> 01:08:58,631
That's the leap he couldn't take.

973
01:09:06,843 --> 01:09:08,470
The ballroom.

974
01:09:23,109 --> 01:09:25,203
Aech, come on.

975
01:09:28,782 --> 01:09:30,750
Zombies. Told you.

976
01:09:32,202 --> 01:09:33,420
That's her.

977
01:09:34,537 --> 01:09:35,959
That's Kira.

978
01:09:39,042 --> 01:09:40,214
None of this is in The Shining.

979
01:09:40,377 --> 01:09:43,131
Z, look. That's the zombie-circle
level in Mayhem Mansion,

980
01:09:43,296 --> 01:09:44,764
one of Halliday's first games.

981
01:09:44,923 --> 01:09:46,721
The whole Shining trivia is just a diversion.

982
01:09:47,967 --> 01:09:49,560
One minute left.

983
01:09:51,012 --> 01:09:52,184
How do we get to her?

984
01:09:52,347 --> 01:09:53,348
Take the leap.

985
01:09:53,515 --> 01:09:54,516
Wait!

986
01:09:55,934 --> 01:09:57,026
Whoa!

987
01:10:02,899 --> 01:10:05,572
Okay, Mr. Dead Guy. Cool if I lead?

988
01:10:53,283 --> 01:10:55,160
Care to dance?

989
01:10:55,577 --> 01:10:59,047
Do you know how long I've
been waiting for you to ask?

990
01:11:04,919 --> 01:11:07,343
Well, well, well.

991
01:11:07,505 --> 01:11:11,886
So you found my Jade Key.

992
01:11:14,387 --> 01:11:16,310
Imagine that.

993
01:11:21,311 --> 01:11:22,858
Thank you.

994
01:11:27,650 --> 01:11:29,698
- Kira was a very beautiful...
- Go on.

995
01:11:58,765 --> 01:12:01,689
One of our oologists saw
them enter the media library.

996
01:12:01,851 --> 01:12:03,353
She cracked the clue.

997
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,569
Now, we just have to win The Shining challenge.

998
01:12:09,651 --> 01:12:12,365
Get her off me! Get her off me!

999
01:12:21,871 --> 01:12:26,377
Mr. Sorrento, I really think you need to see this.

1000
01:12:28,503 --> 01:12:30,301
Now Parzival's got the Jade Key.

1001
01:12:40,723 --> 01:12:42,817
He's alive.

1002
01:12:43,101 --> 01:12:45,445
I know. I'll get back to you.

1003
01:12:46,062 --> 01:12:48,065
I got what you're looking for.

1004
01:12:51,985 --> 01:12:56,206
Freeze. This guy. The one with the lame tattoo.

1005
01:12:56,781 --> 01:12:57,953
Enlarge.

1006
01:13:00,493 --> 01:13:03,588
Run him through our database,
every IOI drone in Columbus.

1007
01:13:03,746 --> 01:13:05,168
Find him.

1008
01:13:32,108 --> 01:13:33,701
Groceries are here.

1009
01:13:33,818 --> 01:13:34,945
All right. Gluten-O's...

1010
01:13:35,111 --> 01:13:36,407
"If you know the answer ultimate,

1011
01:13:36,487 --> 01:13:37,705
"divide it by the number magic,

1012
01:13:37,864 --> 01:13:41,494
"and what you need, want,
and desire will be found in the fortress tragic."

1013
01:13:41,659 --> 01:13:43,662
"Tragic," that's gotta be
Halliday referring to himself.

1014
01:13:43,786 --> 01:13:44,787
Why?

1015
01:13:44,871 --> 01:13:45,998
Because he was lonely.

1016
01:13:46,164 --> 01:13:48,503
He had no one to spend his
life with towards the end.

1017
01:13:48,583 --> 01:13:49,584
Yeah, that's true.

1018
01:13:49,667 --> 01:13:52,466
The contest has gotta be somehow
about connecting with someone.

1019
01:13:52,629 --> 01:13:53,972
Anyone.

1020
01:13:54,130 --> 01:13:57,220
He wants the person who cares for the
OASIS to be connected with the world.

1021
01:13:57,383 --> 01:13:59,852
That's what I think he's trying to tell us.

1022
01:14:05,850 --> 01:14:07,477
Wade.

1023
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,193
You understand Halliday.

1024
01:14:11,856 --> 01:14:14,359
You know him better than anyone.

1025
01:14:15,568 --> 01:14:18,117
It's exactly why I think you'll win.

1026
01:14:18,571 --> 01:14:22,371
Really? You really think I'm gonna win?

1027
01:14:26,329 --> 01:14:28,047
Do not move!

1028
01:14:33,503 --> 01:14:34,925
Target identified!

1029
01:14:36,005 --> 01:14:37,552
Freeze! Don't move!

1030
01:14:44,430 --> 01:14:46,978
- This leads right to the alley.
- You first.

1031
01:14:47,058 --> 01:14:48,731
I'm right behind you. Go now!

1032
01:14:50,353 --> 01:14:51,775
Come on!

1033
01:14:51,938 --> 01:14:54,282
- Wade, the OASIS needs you.
- What?

1034
01:14:54,440 --> 01:14:55,567
- I'm gonna delay them.
- Wait!

1035
01:14:55,733 --> 01:14:57,531
No, no, no, wait! No, no, no!

1036
01:14:58,194 --> 01:15:00,367
You'll forgive me for this, I promise.

1037
01:15:09,580 --> 01:15:11,173
Freeze, freeze, freeze!

1038
01:15:12,208 --> 01:15:13,209
Don't move!

1039
01:15:18,506 --> 01:15:21,055
Samantha Evelyn Cook.

1040
01:15:21,217 --> 01:15:24,721
IOI has purchased and consolidated
all of your outstanding debt,

1041
01:15:24,887 --> 01:15:27,982
currently in excess of 23,000 credits.

1042
01:15:28,141 --> 01:15:30,815
You will be remanded to the
nearest IOI loyalty center

1043
01:15:31,018 --> 01:15:32,361
until your debt is paid in full,

1044
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,148
including any interest, processing,

1045
01:15:35,314 --> 01:15:37,817
or late fees you incur henceforth.

1046
01:15:37,984 --> 01:15:40,157
- Does anybody have eyes?
- Check down the next street!

1047
01:15:52,999 --> 01:15:55,047
- "First to the key."
- "First to the egg."

1048
01:15:55,209 --> 01:15:56,506
Wait, what?

1049
01:15:57,503 --> 01:15:59,676
"Never trust someone you meet in the OASIS."

1050
01:16:00,882 --> 01:16:03,351
"She might be a 300-pound dude named Chuck..."

1051
01:16:03,509 --> 01:16:06,729
"Who lives in his mama's
basement in suburban Detroit."

1052
01:16:09,098 --> 01:16:10,099
Aech!

1053
01:16:11,017 --> 01:16:14,521
Helen. My dad called me Aech
It kinda stuck. Let's go!

1054
01:16:24,405 --> 01:16:26,578
That thing's IDing my van.

1055
01:16:41,422 --> 01:16:43,425
Come on. They've spotted us.

1056
01:16:44,258 --> 01:16:45,259
Daito.

1057
01:16:45,343 --> 01:16:48,518
My real name is Toshiro.
Samantha got us a message.

1058
01:16:48,679 --> 01:16:50,352
She told us to meet you here.

1059
01:16:50,515 --> 01:16:51,767
Samantha, they took her to the...

1060
01:16:51,933 --> 01:16:53,355
The loyalty center, I know.

1061
01:16:53,518 --> 01:16:56,738
Look, in other awesome news,
the Sixers found the third challenge.

1062
01:16:57,522 --> 01:16:59,274
- What?
- Just come on, get in!

1063
01:16:59,440 --> 01:17:00,441
All right. Let's go.

1064
01:17:00,566 --> 01:17:02,785
Hurry up. Go, go, go. All right.

1065
01:17:14,539 --> 01:17:16,883
How did IOI find the third challenge so fast?

1066
01:17:17,041 --> 01:17:19,009
IOI cracked the first three lines of the clue,

1067
01:17:19,168 --> 01:17:20,215
so they knew it was sector 14

1068
01:17:20,378 --> 01:17:22,176
but they couldn't figure out "the fortress tragic."

1069
01:17:22,338 --> 01:17:24,682
So they sent every guide they had into that sector

1070
01:17:24,841 --> 01:17:26,718
until they found the right fortress.

1071
01:17:27,844 --> 01:17:29,141
Sho?

1072
01:17:29,303 --> 01:17:31,431
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm 11, so what?

1073
01:17:31,597 --> 01:17:33,474
His real name is Xo.

1074
01:17:33,641 --> 01:17:36,235
But everyone else calls me Sho, no big deal.

1075
01:17:36,394 --> 01:17:39,022
No. It is a big deal.

1076
01:17:39,188 --> 01:17:42,613
Sho, you're the world's
most badass 11-year-old ever.

1077
01:17:42,733 --> 01:17:43,734
He knows.

1078
01:17:43,818 --> 01:17:45,866
Shut up! Let him tell me.

1079
01:17:46,028 --> 01:17:47,075
Aech!

1080
01:17:50,616 --> 01:17:52,163
We have to go save Samantha.

1081
01:17:52,326 --> 01:17:54,545
Well, we can't just go through the doors of IOI.

1082
01:17:54,704 --> 01:17:56,752
Look, I've been thinkin' about it.
I got a better plan.

1083
01:17:56,914 --> 01:17:58,757
You saw Sorrento's rig, right?

1084
01:17:58,916 --> 01:17:59,917
Yeah.

1085
01:18:00,084 --> 01:18:03,304
Let's go after the man himself and
make him give Art3mis back to us.

1086
01:18:03,462 --> 01:18:05,214
But first, I have to know exactly,

1087
01:18:05,381 --> 01:18:07,304
how much about Sorrento's rig do you remember?

1088
01:18:08,759 --> 01:18:11,012
Kind of everything.

1089
01:18:24,775 --> 01:18:28,621
Maintenance, report to loyalty pod 31-B.

1090
01:18:32,742 --> 01:18:37,293
Security, please report to section 97 for escort.

1091
01:18:58,100 --> 01:19:00,899
Hey! Newbie, get to work.

1092
01:19:03,105 --> 01:19:04,448
Get to work.

1093
01:19:10,529 --> 01:19:13,624
Work violation. Work violation.

1094
01:19:15,409 --> 01:19:18,458
Lay those charges every six feet.

1095
01:19:23,501 --> 01:19:25,629
Keep it moving!

1096
01:19:26,963 --> 01:19:27,964
Hey, you!

1097
01:19:30,132 --> 01:19:31,884
Those are explosives!

1098
01:19:33,344 --> 01:19:36,723
IOI will not reimburse any
lost coin if you zero out.

1099
01:19:36,889 --> 01:19:38,641
Keep it moving!

1100
01:19:43,396 --> 01:19:46,275
So what is this challenge,
some sort of video game thing?

1101
01:19:46,440 --> 01:19:48,363
An Atari 2600, sir.

1102
01:19:48,526 --> 01:19:52,076
And every game ever made for it,
thousands of possibilities.

1103
01:19:52,905 --> 01:19:53,906
Come up!

1104
01:19:58,744 --> 01:20:00,041
Halliday,

1105
01:20:00,204 --> 01:20:01,581
this is how you plan to resolve

1106
01:20:01,747 --> 01:20:04,796
the fate of the world's most
important economic resource?

1107
01:20:05,584 --> 01:20:07,382
- Call me when you're close.
- Yes, sir.

1108
01:20:07,545 --> 01:20:09,092
Go, go! No! Ahh!

1109
01:20:11,340 --> 01:20:14,219
One minute into Centipede, the ice broke.

1110
01:20:14,635 --> 01:20:16,137
It has to be Joust!

1111
01:20:16,262 --> 01:20:19,437
Halliday still holds the world
record on the 2600 port of that game.

1112
01:20:19,598 --> 01:20:21,020
Maybe we just need to beat his high score.

1113
01:20:21,183 --> 01:20:23,732
Pitfall! One of the only 2600
games that still hasn't ended.

1114
01:20:23,894 --> 01:20:25,021
And how about those Swordquest games?

1115
01:20:25,187 --> 01:20:26,234
Yes! The Swordquest games.

1116
01:20:26,397 --> 01:20:29,242
They were created for a
contest Atari held with real...

1117
01:20:36,991 --> 01:20:38,618
i-R0k, how are we doin'?

1118
01:20:39,994 --> 01:20:42,088
To be honest, I think I need
physical therapy because it's not...

1119
01:20:42,246 --> 01:20:44,249
Is the Orb ready?

1120
01:20:45,249 --> 01:20:46,922
Um, as you wish.

1121
01:20:51,088 --> 01:20:52,089
The Orb...

1122
01:20:52,256 --> 01:20:53,678
Of Osuvox.

1123
01:20:54,550 --> 01:20:55,638
Ah...

1124
01:20:55,718 --> 01:20:57,095
How does it work?

1125
01:20:57,261 --> 01:21:01,061
Has it got, like, a remote or
is there a button or something?

1126
01:21:01,223 --> 01:21:04,693
Nolan, it's a level-99 magic artifact,

1127
01:21:04,852 --> 01:21:08,482
not one of your drones,
so it is activated by a magic spell.

1128
01:21:08,647 --> 01:21:10,695
Would you care to do the honors?

1129
01:22:02,660 --> 01:22:03,878
Where is she?

1130
01:22:04,036 --> 01:22:05,163
How'd you get in here?

1131
01:22:05,329 --> 01:22:06,456
- Art3mis.
- Who?

1132
01:22:06,622 --> 01:22:09,671
Samantha Cook. Where is she?

1133
01:22:11,293 --> 01:22:14,672
If you wanna talk, we can talk,
but you gotta put that gun down.

1134
01:22:15,172 --> 01:22:17,516
You killed my mom's sister.

1135
01:22:18,092 --> 01:22:19,594
You think I won't kill you?

1136
01:22:19,718 --> 01:22:23,769
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just slow down, okay?

1137
01:22:23,931 --> 01:22:27,151
That was a corporate decision.
It was not personal.

1138
01:22:27,309 --> 01:22:28,310
Where is she?

1139
01:22:28,477 --> 01:22:30,821
She's downstairs in the loyalty center!

1140
01:22:30,980 --> 01:22:33,734
I know she's in the goddamn loyalty center.

1141
01:22:34,316 --> 01:22:39,121
You're gonna tell me exactly which rig
she's in and the access code to contact her.

1142
01:22:40,197 --> 01:22:42,450
Yeah, that seems appropriate.

1143
01:22:45,327 --> 01:22:47,330
Start with access code.

1144
01:22:48,539 --> 01:22:50,667
6, 45, 7, 25.

1145
01:22:50,833 --> 01:22:52,085
Where's the rig?

1146
01:23:03,012 --> 01:23:04,605
I think he pissed himself.

1147
01:23:05,222 --> 01:23:07,065
Good job, Z. We're in his account.

1148
01:23:07,224 --> 01:23:08,976
So he really doesn't know he's in the OASIS?

1149
01:23:11,353 --> 01:23:13,777
This is what Sorrento should be seeing,

1150
01:23:13,939 --> 01:23:17,068
but this... This is what we're making him see.

1151
01:23:18,194 --> 01:23:21,073
We grabbed him in transit just
as he was logging out of the OASIS,

1152
01:23:21,238 --> 01:23:23,912
so he thinks he's back in
his office in the real world.

1153
01:23:24,116 --> 01:23:27,791
But actually, he's here,
in the identical office that Aech built.

1154
01:23:27,953 --> 01:23:30,502
So, you basically just remotely hacked his rig.

1155
01:23:30,664 --> 01:23:33,543
A fixed rig like Sorrento's
is easy to locate, hard to hack.

1156
01:23:33,709 --> 01:23:36,258
Unless he's stupid enough to
leave his password lying around.

1157
01:23:36,420 --> 01:23:37,672
Loyalty center, I'm in.

1158
01:23:37,838 --> 01:23:39,590
All right, let's get to work.

1159
01:23:47,389 --> 01:23:49,562
- Arty.
- Z? Z? Z?

1160
01:23:49,725 --> 01:23:51,102
Arty, don't say anything.

1161
01:23:51,268 --> 01:23:53,236
I'm tapped directly into your audio feed.

1162
01:23:54,855 --> 01:23:55,947
How did you find me?

1163
01:23:56,106 --> 01:23:58,074
We got his password, hacked Sorrento's rig.

1164
01:23:59,693 --> 01:24:01,445
Z, I have something to tell you.

1165
01:24:01,737 --> 01:24:03,990
Not now. I have something to show
you that'll get you out of there.

1166
01:24:04,156 --> 01:24:06,750
The Sixers found the third challenge.
It's on Planet Doom.

1167
01:24:07,618 --> 01:24:10,959
And there's more, they just put a
force field around Anorak's Castle.

1168
01:24:15,417 --> 01:24:17,920
I heard one of the guards
calling it "the Orb of Osuvox,"

1169
01:24:18,087 --> 01:24:20,465
and the only way to take it down is from the inside.

1170
01:24:20,631 --> 01:24:23,635
She's right. Level-99 artifact,

1171
01:24:23,801 --> 01:24:26,600
creates a magic-resistant, impenetrable barrier.

1172
01:24:26,762 --> 01:24:27,763
No way through it.

1173
01:24:27,930 --> 01:24:29,352
Okay, listen. That's not important right now.

1174
01:24:29,515 --> 01:24:31,563
What's important is that
we get you out of the rig.

1175
01:24:34,353 --> 01:24:36,651
All right, so I'm looking at a diagram of your rig.

1176
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:41,653
If you reach up with your left hand at 11 o'clock,

1177
01:24:41,819 --> 01:24:43,617
there's a panel above your head.

1178
01:24:48,409 --> 01:24:50,412
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can feel it.

1179
01:24:50,577 --> 01:24:52,375
Okay, there should be two release handles.

1180
01:24:52,538 --> 01:24:53,960
Nine o'clock and three o'clock. Can you feel them?

1181
01:24:54,123 --> 01:24:56,467
- Yeah, I got it.
- Okay, pull it towards you.

1182
01:24:58,836 --> 01:25:00,338
Okay, inside the panel, there's a lever.

1183
01:25:00,504 --> 01:25:02,973
Grab it with your right hand and slide it to the left.

1184
01:25:03,132 --> 01:25:04,553
That should release you.

1185
01:25:11,890 --> 01:25:13,688
It worked. It worked, I'm out.

1186
01:25:14,643 --> 01:25:16,690
Loyalty pod 41-F,

1187
01:25:16,770 --> 01:25:19,694
you are on an authorized break for 10 minutes.

1188
01:25:25,029 --> 01:25:28,033
Pod 41-F, you are on 10-minute break.

1189
01:25:28,198 --> 01:25:30,326
Proceed to break area.

1190
01:25:31,618 --> 01:25:32,836
Wade, are you still there?

1191
01:25:32,995 --> 01:25:34,042
Yeah, I'm here. Where are you?

1192
01:25:34,204 --> 01:25:35,296
Where is Sorrento's office?

1193
01:25:35,456 --> 01:25:37,675
It's in the IOI war room,
two levels above where you are now.

1194
01:25:37,833 --> 01:25:39,460
But that's not the way out.

1195
01:25:39,626 --> 01:25:41,173
What's his password?

1196
01:25:42,504 --> 01:25:43,631
Wade, answer me.

1197
01:25:43,797 --> 01:25:47,677
Okay, it's capital B-0-55-man-69.

1198
01:25:47,843 --> 01:25:50,062
But, Arty, you need to go.

1199
01:25:50,220 --> 01:25:51,517
You need to raise an army.

1200
01:25:52,431 --> 01:25:53,432
An army?

1201
01:25:53,599 --> 01:25:55,602
Get to Planet Doom, and wait for my signal.

1202
01:25:55,684 --> 01:25:56,685
What signal?

1203
01:25:56,977 --> 01:25:58,195
I'm gonna take down that shield.

1204
01:25:58,354 --> 01:26:00,778
Wait, Arty, wait! You gotta get out of there! Arty!

1205
01:26:09,448 --> 01:26:11,917
Hey, how much are they paying you?

1206
01:26:12,076 --> 01:26:13,703
'Cause, man, I got a lot of paper.

1207
01:26:13,869 --> 01:26:16,088
You know, I can make you, like, a forest.

1208
01:26:16,246 --> 01:26:18,374
Hey, shut up.

1209
01:26:18,540 --> 01:26:19,632
Okay.

1210
01:26:42,272 --> 01:26:44,445
This isn't real, you're tapping my feed.

1211
01:26:44,525 --> 01:26:46,528
Uh-oh. Guys.

1212
01:27:05,087 --> 01:27:07,636
F'Nale, they've hacked my rig.
They're after the girl.

1213
01:27:07,798 --> 01:27:09,471
Meet me at loyalty.

1214
01:27:23,605 --> 01:27:27,030
Pod 41-F, you have exceeded your break time.

1215
01:27:27,192 --> 01:27:30,913
Report to security or your
coin count will be reset to zero.

1216
01:27:39,872 --> 01:27:44,503
So, she just walks out of here,
how does that happen?

1217
01:27:44,668 --> 01:27:46,716
They're smart. They knew what they were doing.

1218
01:27:46,879 --> 01:27:49,633
But we know they're in Columbus.
And now, all five of them are together.

1219
01:27:49,798 --> 01:27:52,142
Wait. Wait, we know what? How do we know?

1220
01:27:52,301 --> 01:27:55,896
We have the make and model of the van.
We'll spot them.

1221
01:27:56,054 --> 01:27:58,022
"We'll spot them"?

1222
01:27:58,182 --> 01:28:01,277
That sounds like a great
inscription for our tombstones.

1223
01:28:01,435 --> 01:28:02,812
Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

1224
01:28:02,978 --> 01:28:04,400
It wasn't relevant yet.

1225
01:28:04,563 --> 01:28:05,655
I need to know where they are.

1226
01:28:05,814 --> 01:28:07,191
We need to know. We need to find them!

1227
01:28:07,357 --> 01:28:10,236
They're kids, Nolan. Man the hell up!

1228
01:28:10,402 --> 01:28:13,451
Do your job, and I'll do mine,
unless you wanna take this

1229
01:28:13,614 --> 01:28:15,617
and go after them yourself.

1230
01:28:20,204 --> 01:28:21,456
Find them!

1231
01:28:30,464 --> 01:28:35,061
The Complete Nancy Drew, Kegel Exercises for...

1232
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:38,893
Bingo. Okay.

1233
01:28:39,473 --> 01:28:41,567
"Congratulations, you are the
proud owner of the Orb of Osuvox,

1234
01:28:41,725 --> 01:28:43,068
"a 99th level magic artifact.

1235
01:28:43,227 --> 01:28:46,356
"Read these instructions before deploying.
To turn orb on, off."

1236
01:28:46,522 --> 01:28:47,865
Off! Yes, off.

1237
01:28:48,023 --> 01:28:50,276
"Utter spell within 10 feet of orb."

1238
01:29:04,248 --> 01:29:06,296
Citizens of the OASIS,

1239
01:29:06,458 --> 01:29:08,756
I am Parzival, first to the key.

1240
01:29:09,294 --> 01:29:12,173
I'm here talking to all of you now
because our future's being threatened

1241
01:29:12,339 --> 01:29:15,434
by people who will stop at
nothing to win this contest.

1242
01:29:16,426 --> 01:29:18,178
Some of you already know this,

1243
01:29:18,345 --> 01:29:21,645
and you've lost much more than
just your avatars or your weapons.

1244
01:29:22,432 --> 01:29:26,312
Some have lost their freedom.
Some have lost their lives.

1245
01:29:28,814 --> 01:29:30,782
And now, this.

1246
01:29:31,608 --> 01:29:34,578
A force field around the third challenge.

1247
01:29:37,114 --> 01:29:40,243
I only came here to escape the
shitty hand that life dealt me.

1248
01:29:41,118 --> 01:29:43,746
But I stayed, like many of you,

1249
01:29:43,912 --> 01:29:48,543
because I found something
much bigger than just myself.

1250
01:29:49,001 --> 01:29:50,799
I found a cause.

1251
01:29:51,962 --> 01:29:54,056
I found my friends.

1252
01:29:55,257 --> 01:29:58,682
And yes, I know it's kind of a groaner, but...

1253
01:30:00,012 --> 01:30:01,605
I found love.

1254
01:30:02,889 --> 01:30:04,186
And I don't wanna lose that

1255
01:30:04,349 --> 01:30:07,023
to this colossal douchebag, Nolan Sorrento.

1256
01:30:07,185 --> 01:30:10,655
This guy. Back to work, people.

1257
01:30:11,398 --> 01:30:14,243
He thinks that we're all too
distracted to even notice...

1258
01:30:15,652 --> 01:30:20,283
Nolan Sorrento thinks that we won't put up a fight.

1259
01:30:20,449 --> 01:30:21,620
Sir! Sir!

1260
01:30:21,700 --> 01:30:22,701
This is going out live!

1261
01:30:22,784 --> 01:30:23,876
The only thing Halliday let this guy do...

1262
01:30:24,036 --> 01:30:26,289
- It's absolutely everywhere.
- ...was get him a cup of coffee.

1263
01:30:26,455 --> 01:30:28,128
And now, we're supposed to hand him the OASIS?

1264
01:30:36,048 --> 01:30:38,802
This Parzival... Oh, man.

1265
01:30:42,888 --> 01:30:45,232
Come on, come on. Give me this thing.

1266
01:30:45,390 --> 01:30:46,517
Yes, sir.

1267
01:30:47,225 --> 01:30:49,193
Left arm.

1268
01:30:49,353 --> 01:30:51,697
- Left arm!
- Sir.

1269
01:30:51,855 --> 01:30:53,698
No, I need the left arm.

1270
01:30:53,857 --> 01:30:56,155
No, I don't care if... I want it on.

1271
01:30:58,278 --> 01:31:00,742
He thinks that we won't even put up a fight!

1272
01:31:00,822 --> 01:31:03,450
Well, I say he's wrong.

1273
01:31:03,617 --> 01:31:07,247
I say, tell that to the gunter
clans in the gold mines of Gygax.

1274
01:31:07,412 --> 01:31:10,587
Activate the Iron Giant.

1275
01:31:34,731 --> 01:31:39,658
Ask yourselves, are you willing
to zero out for the OASIS?

1276
01:31:39,820 --> 01:31:41,697
Are you willing to fight?

1277
01:31:43,156 --> 01:31:45,580
I am Parzival of the High Five.

1278
01:31:45,742 --> 01:31:48,336
In the name of Art3mis, in the name of Aech,

1279
01:31:48,495 --> 01:31:50,623
in the name of Daito and Sho,

1280
01:31:51,206 --> 01:31:53,755
we ask you to join us on Planet Doom.

1281
01:31:54,751 --> 01:31:57,721
In the name of James Halliday himself,

1282
01:31:57,879 --> 01:31:59,882
help us save the OASIS.

1283
01:32:54,895 --> 01:32:57,273
No, no, no, no.

1284
01:33:07,407 --> 01:33:09,955
"No man is a failure who has friends."

1285
01:33:32,140 --> 01:33:35,315
Squadron 14, armor up, you're in the lead.

1286
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:50,959
One minute into Swordquest, the ice broke.

1287
01:33:52,661 --> 01:33:56,256
Well, all three Swordquests. What's next?

1288
01:33:56,414 --> 01:33:58,087
Dark Cavern, Laser Blast.

1289
01:33:58,250 --> 01:33:59,342
It's Adventure.

1290
01:33:59,501 --> 01:34:01,595
Released in 1979, for the 2600,

1291
01:34:01,753 --> 01:34:03,300
Adventure was created by Warren Robinett,

1292
01:34:03,463 --> 01:34:05,841
who was the first video game designer
ever to hide his name. In fact...

1293
01:34:06,007 --> 01:34:08,010
Try Adventure.

1294
01:34:09,261 --> 01:34:10,763
Play Adventure.

1295
01:35:03,148 --> 01:35:05,321
More than a minute, we're still alive.

1296
01:35:05,483 --> 01:35:07,281
This must be the right game.

1297
01:35:14,284 --> 01:35:17,083
How long does it last, this orb thing?

1298
01:35:24,544 --> 01:35:27,138
I'd say about ten...

1299
01:35:27,297 --> 01:35:30,392
Yeah, about 10 million years,
so we should be fine.

1300
01:35:47,859 --> 01:35:49,577
First to the key!

1301
01:35:49,736 --> 01:35:51,409
First to the egg!

1302
01:35:51,571 --> 01:35:54,245
First to the egg!

1303
01:36:22,769 --> 01:36:23,861
Adventure.

1304
01:36:40,286 --> 01:36:42,505
What? Come on!

1305
01:37:12,110 --> 01:37:13,703
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

1306
01:37:15,864 --> 01:37:18,458
The Sixers are in the final challenge.
It's an Atari 2600.

1307
01:37:18,616 --> 01:37:20,334
Are you in the Sixer war room?

1308
01:37:20,869 --> 01:37:22,291
No, no, no. You gotta get out of there.

1309
01:37:22,454 --> 01:37:24,127
They're playing Adventure.

1310
01:37:24,748 --> 01:37:27,001
Adventure, of course!

1311
01:37:27,167 --> 01:37:28,635
Created by Warren Robinett!

1312
01:37:28,793 --> 01:37:30,340
He was the first designer
to ever hide an Easter egg in...

1313
01:37:30,503 --> 01:37:31,504
Dude!

1314
01:37:36,551 --> 01:37:39,225
We're looking for a USPS truck, Ohio plates,

1315
01:37:39,387 --> 01:37:42,391
a drone spitter, 2036 model.

1316
01:38:00,950 --> 01:38:04,295
Daito! When are you getting into this fight?

1317
01:38:18,009 --> 01:38:19,386
I'm out. Inventory's empty.

1318
01:38:19,552 --> 01:38:20,553
Last clip for me.

1319
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:21,767
More weapons!

1320
01:38:21,930 --> 01:38:26,026
Anti-personnel ordinance cannon!

1321
01:38:28,978 --> 01:38:31,652
Railgun!

1322
01:38:36,861 --> 01:38:38,033
Yo, Z!

1323
01:38:38,571 --> 01:38:42,201
Yo, Z! Try this little guy.

1324
01:38:45,787 --> 01:38:46,959
Ow!

1325
01:38:47,455 --> 01:38:49,298
Get rid of it! Get rid of it!

1326
01:38:50,416 --> 01:38:52,213
It's fucking Chucky!

1327
01:38:57,549 --> 01:38:59,051
Move! Move!

1328
01:38:59,634 --> 01:39:01,136
Go, go, go!

1329
01:39:58,902 --> 01:40:00,404
Mechagodzilla!

1330
01:40:21,591 --> 01:40:24,936
Daito, we need you! Daito, now!

1331
01:40:25,094 --> 01:40:27,267
Get to the bridge. Go now, he's distracted.

1332
01:40:27,347 --> 01:40:28,348
Go, go, go.

1333
01:41:09,681 --> 01:41:10,682
Z!

1334
01:41:30,618 --> 01:41:31,619
Arty!

1335
01:41:31,703 --> 01:41:33,956
Get to the castle!
Win the third key before they do!

1336
01:41:45,717 --> 01:41:46,935
What is that?

1337
01:41:47,093 --> 01:41:49,812
He's only got 30 seconds before changing back!

1338
01:42:01,024 --> 01:42:03,903
Daito, abort, abort! You got 10 seconds!

1339
01:42:18,583 --> 01:42:19,801
First to the egg!

1340
01:42:59,248 --> 01:43:00,545
Shit, it's her.

1341
01:43:20,603 --> 01:43:23,152
Arty! Arty!

1342
01:43:23,940 --> 01:43:26,159
Z! Got to get to the castle!

1343
01:43:32,490 --> 01:43:35,084
She never left. She's still here.

1344
01:43:38,037 --> 01:43:39,539
The girl's in the war room.

1345
01:44:17,702 --> 01:44:19,249
No, no, no.

1346
01:44:33,384 --> 01:44:35,933
Sho! Hang on!

1347
01:44:55,364 --> 01:44:56,957
No!

1348
01:45:19,430 --> 01:45:20,932
Arty, we've got this. You need to log out.

1349
01:45:21,349 --> 01:45:23,943
If the game is Adventure, why haven't they won yet?

1350
01:45:24,101 --> 01:45:25,819
I don't know. Arty, Arty.

1351
01:45:25,978 --> 01:45:27,901
I'm serious, Sorrento's crazy. He'll kill you.

1352
01:45:30,149 --> 01:45:31,617
What are you looking at?

1353
01:45:32,109 --> 01:45:33,861
There's nothing over there.

1354
01:45:34,904 --> 01:45:35,905
You're in trouble, aren't you?

1355
01:45:39,367 --> 01:45:42,746
Samantha, you know I love you.

1356
01:45:42,912 --> 01:45:44,130
Not the time, Z.

1357
01:45:44,288 --> 01:45:45,585
I can handle the challenge,

1358
01:45:45,748 --> 01:45:47,591
but I can't let you get hurt in the real world.

1359
01:45:48,834 --> 01:45:52,009
Get out of IOI, and meet us at River South.

1360
01:45:58,386 --> 01:45:59,933
Wade, no.

1361
01:46:00,096 --> 01:46:01,814
You'll forgive me for this, I promise.

1362
01:46:01,973 --> 01:46:03,100
Wade, no, no, no.

1363
01:46:13,234 --> 01:46:16,238
Get it together, Sixer. Back to respawn.

1364
01:46:16,696 --> 01:46:17,868
Let's go, move.

1365
01:46:18,030 --> 01:46:19,248
You're in.

1366
01:46:37,508 --> 01:46:39,977
Holy hand grenade! How much did that cost?

1367
01:46:40,136 --> 01:46:42,605
Less than it's gonna cost them.

1368
01:46:43,723 --> 01:46:45,225
What is that?

1369
01:46:55,610 --> 01:46:58,159
Sir, the gunters are approaching the challenge.

1370
01:46:58,321 --> 01:47:00,198
- i-R0k?
- In position, sir.

1371
01:47:00,323 --> 01:47:01,324
Prepare my rig.

1372
01:47:01,616 --> 01:47:04,244
The ice is holding. Still going.

1373
01:47:14,587 --> 01:47:15,759
Wait.

1374
01:47:15,921 --> 01:47:17,048
He's trying to win.

1375
01:47:20,426 --> 01:47:22,975
Yeah! I won.

1376
01:47:26,474 --> 01:47:28,272
He lost.

1377
01:47:28,434 --> 01:47:30,437
Not Adventure.

1378
01:47:34,565 --> 01:47:38,866
Everyone who wins loses.

1379
01:47:39,028 --> 01:47:42,328
It's not about winning. It's about playing.

1380
01:47:43,449 --> 01:47:45,497
Remember Halliday's announcement.

1381
01:47:45,951 --> 01:47:48,204
The keys are invisible,
and they're hidden in a dark room

1382
01:47:48,371 --> 01:47:50,339
that's at the center of a maze.

1383
01:47:50,956 --> 01:47:54,460
Well, there's a secret in Adventure,
and you don't find it by winning.

1384
01:47:54,627 --> 01:47:57,051
You find it by wandering around in a dark room.

1385
01:47:57,546 --> 01:47:59,093
Until you get to the invisible dot.

1386
01:47:59,256 --> 01:48:00,803
It's pretty easy if you know what you're doing.

1387
01:48:00,966 --> 01:48:02,218
Really?

1388
01:48:03,135 --> 01:48:05,183
Let me finish it for you.

1389
01:48:09,475 --> 01:48:10,727
It's your last chance, Wade.

1390
01:48:11,394 --> 01:48:14,148
Last chance. Give me the key.

1391
01:48:14,313 --> 01:48:18,409
I give you 50 million in your account right now.

1392
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:21,112
Why the hell would I ever do that?

1393
01:48:22,905 --> 01:48:24,578
Dude! That's the Cataclyst.

1394
01:48:24,865 --> 01:48:26,583
Now, personally, I don't care.

1395
01:48:26,742 --> 01:48:28,335
I'd just as soon never set foot in the OASIS again,

1396
01:48:28,494 --> 01:48:30,497
let alone have to deal with any of this absurdity.

1397
01:48:30,663 --> 01:48:33,963
But I know how important Halliday's
competition is to you, so...

1398
01:48:35,876 --> 01:48:40,131
I will never let the future of the
OASIS rest in your hands, Nolan Sorrento.

1399
01:48:40,297 --> 01:48:44,177
Well, that's fine. Three easy steps. One.

1400
01:48:44,343 --> 01:48:46,641
Wait, I thought you were bluffing.
You know that kills all of us, right?

1401
01:48:46,804 --> 01:48:48,727
I've got 10 years' worth of shit inside of me.

1402
01:48:48,889 --> 01:48:50,391
Last chance. Two.

1403
01:48:50,558 --> 01:48:51,776
I'm not goin' out like that.

1404
01:48:51,934 --> 01:48:53,026
That's a camper move.

1405
01:48:53,185 --> 01:48:54,357
You don't even know how to activate an orb.

1406
01:49:06,782 --> 01:49:07,874
Yeah, I felt those.

1407
01:49:09,285 --> 01:49:11,379
But this is my world, Sorrento.

1408
01:49:15,332 --> 01:49:16,584
Hadouken!

1409
01:49:36,187 --> 01:49:38,656
- No, no, no!
- Step three.

1410
01:49:38,814 --> 01:49:40,532
No, no, no!

1411
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:39,713
Get me out of this thing.

1412
01:50:54,181 --> 01:50:55,519
Uh...

1413
01:50:55,599 --> 01:50:56,851
Guys?

1414
01:51:03,440 --> 01:51:05,283
Z. He's still alive!

1415
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:14,998
Extra life.

1416
01:51:17,413 --> 01:51:18,835
Thanks, Curator.

1417
01:51:21,709 --> 01:51:22,836
Hold on.

1418
01:51:30,593 --> 01:51:32,596
Live feed in all OASIS channels.

1419
01:51:33,220 --> 01:51:35,644
Halliday's letting everyone
watch the end of the contest.

1420
01:51:35,806 --> 01:51:37,024
That's so Halliday.

1421
01:51:37,182 --> 01:51:39,276
God damn it, we tried Adventure.

1422
01:51:39,435 --> 01:51:40,732
No, we tried to win it.

1423
01:51:40,895 --> 01:51:43,319
But the hidden room isn't at the end of the game.

1424
01:51:43,480 --> 01:51:46,234
You've gotta go straight to
the invisible dot at the start.

1425
01:51:59,663 --> 01:52:00,664
Is that her?

1426
01:52:00,956 --> 01:52:04,961
Red hair, IOI uniform,
doesn't know what planet she's on?

1427
01:52:05,044 --> 01:52:06,091
That's her.

1428
01:52:17,932 --> 01:52:20,651
I'm Toshiro. You know me as Daito.

1429
01:52:23,562 --> 01:52:24,609
Oh.

1430
01:52:27,358 --> 01:52:28,780
Hey, Arty.

1431
01:52:30,819 --> 01:52:34,824
Yeah, I know. Not what you were expecting, huh?

1432
01:52:34,990 --> 01:52:39,541
Yeah, I wasn't expecting a
late '30s-model postal van.

1433
01:52:41,622 --> 01:52:42,623
Wade?

1434
01:52:43,332 --> 01:52:45,585
Wait, I thought the Cataclyst went off.
How are you still playing?

1435
01:52:45,751 --> 01:52:48,254
Extra life, long story. Sorry I shot you.

1436
01:52:50,589 --> 01:52:52,057
Sho?

1437
01:52:52,216 --> 01:52:54,594
What? Do I have to wear a sign saying,

1438
01:52:54,760 --> 01:52:57,730
"I am 11 years old, shoot me first"? No, thanks.

1439
01:52:57,888 --> 01:53:00,060
- Dude, give me a hug.
- Ninjas don't hug!

1440
01:53:00,140 --> 01:53:01,642
All right, everybody, hold on to somethin'.

1441
01:53:23,539 --> 01:53:24,836
Got you.

1442
01:53:28,585 --> 01:53:30,303
Come on, Nolan. Pick up.

1443
01:53:32,506 --> 01:53:35,055
F'Nale, tell me something good.

1444
01:53:35,342 --> 01:53:37,720
I've got a drone on their tail. I'm close.

1445
01:53:37,886 --> 01:53:38,933
Send me coordinates.

1446
01:53:39,096 --> 01:53:41,310
Maybe you should leave this to me, Nolan.

1447
01:53:43,183 --> 01:53:45,777
Nolan? Nolan.

1448
01:53:47,229 --> 01:53:48,356
Out.

1449
01:53:57,322 --> 01:53:59,791
Give me that.

1450
01:54:03,495 --> 01:54:05,213
What's goin' on out there?

1451
01:54:09,585 --> 01:54:12,054
The game is over for them. What are they watching?

1452
01:54:14,548 --> 01:54:16,846
The final key! It's being broadcast.

1453
01:54:18,927 --> 01:54:20,429
You see,

1454
01:54:20,596 --> 01:54:23,145
Warren Robinett was proud of Adventure.

1455
01:54:23,307 --> 01:54:25,526
He wanted people to know who was behind it.

1456
01:54:26,393 --> 01:54:28,942
That's why he created the first digital Easter egg

1457
01:54:29,104 --> 01:54:31,653
and to find it, you didn't even have to win.

1458
01:54:31,815 --> 01:54:35,820
You just had to blindly play, searching around

1459
01:54:35,986 --> 01:54:39,081
in rooms for an invisible dot.

1460
01:54:40,115 --> 01:54:42,539
You took the dot back to the main screen

1461
01:54:42,701 --> 01:54:47,173
and that's when you found the first
Easter egg ever put in a video game.

1462
01:54:47,331 --> 01:54:48,583
The creator's name.

1463
01:55:13,273 --> 01:55:15,071
What's going on, man? I can't see shit.

1464
01:55:15,359 --> 01:55:16,736
Parzival just got the Crystal Key!

1465
01:55:32,042 --> 01:55:33,760
Do you want it or not?

1466
01:55:37,089 --> 01:55:38,887
Aech, what the hell's going on?

1467
01:55:39,174 --> 01:55:41,017
Just practicing my Mario Kart.
What do you think?

1468
01:55:41,176 --> 01:55:43,224
IOI's trying to kill us, man!

1469
01:55:57,484 --> 01:55:59,657
Everyone watching,
if you're in the Columbus stacks,

1470
01:55:59,820 --> 01:56:01,117
this is Parzival.

1471
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:03,908
My real-world name is Wade Watts,
and we're gonna need your help.

1472
01:56:04,074 --> 01:56:05,496
Aech, head for the stacks!

1473
01:56:05,659 --> 01:56:07,286
Okay, hold on!

1474
01:56:32,561 --> 01:56:34,529
Stick the key in, how hard is it?

1475
01:56:40,235 --> 01:56:41,407
Come on.

1476
01:56:48,869 --> 01:56:50,872
Yeah! Yes!

1477
01:57:07,095 --> 01:57:08,313
That's it?

1478
01:57:09,139 --> 01:57:10,186
Yeah, that's it.

1479
01:57:10,349 --> 01:57:15,355
Now, you just sign these papers,
and the OASIS is yours.

1480
01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:19,650
You will be its sole proprietor.

1481
01:57:19,816 --> 01:57:21,284
That ain't so bad, is it?

1482
01:57:43,131 --> 01:57:44,178
I'm gonna need a second.

1483
01:58:12,869 --> 01:58:14,872
This is wrong.

1484
01:58:15,497 --> 01:58:18,376
This pen, this contract.

1485
01:58:21,628 --> 01:58:23,221
This is the moment that Halliday made Morrow

1486
01:58:23,380 --> 01:58:25,257
sign over his shares in Gregarious.

1487
01:58:25,966 --> 01:58:28,060
That was the biggest mistake of his life.

1488
01:58:28,635 --> 01:58:30,763
He knew that.

1489
01:58:32,514 --> 01:58:34,562
This can't be the end.

1490
01:58:35,767 --> 01:58:37,485
It's a test.

1491
01:58:42,024 --> 01:58:44,698
I won't make the same mistake you did.

1492
01:58:50,407 --> 01:58:52,284
Oh, good.

1493
01:58:54,995 --> 01:58:58,420
I just needed to be sure.

1494
01:59:12,429 --> 01:59:14,648
This is where you grew up.

1495
01:59:23,899 --> 01:59:26,277
Oh, that's just me a long time ago.

1496
01:59:26,860 --> 01:59:29,579
I like to have him around from time to time.

1497
01:59:30,447 --> 01:59:32,074
Hey, I have to show you something.

1498
01:59:32,741 --> 01:59:34,288
This... Come on.

1499
01:59:34,451 --> 01:59:36,124
This is the button.

1500
01:59:36,286 --> 01:59:39,415
If you push it, the whole simulation shuts down

1501
01:59:39,581 --> 01:59:43,051
and a tapeworm program will
erase all of the backup servers.

1502
01:59:43,210 --> 01:59:46,464
So you now have the power to
turn the OASIS off forever.

1503
01:59:46,963 --> 01:59:48,556
Do you understand?

1504
01:59:53,970 --> 01:59:54,971
Yeah,

1505
01:59:55,138 --> 01:59:56,936
try not to accidentally erase

1506
01:59:57,099 --> 01:59:59,773
the whole of the OASIS on your first day.

1507
02:00:09,152 --> 02:00:10,870
The stacks are straight ahead!

1508
02:00:26,670 --> 02:00:29,469
Well, I expect you have to go. I know I do.

1509
02:00:29,631 --> 02:00:32,009
So, now is the time for you to receive your prize

1510
02:00:32,175 --> 02:00:34,553
because you won all three keys.

1511
02:00:34,719 --> 02:00:38,724
Once you take this egg, the game will be over.

1512
02:00:39,433 --> 02:00:42,482
The egg, the egg...

1513
02:00:49,943 --> 02:00:52,196
We know what you did here.

1514
02:00:52,362 --> 02:00:55,662
You turn around and walk out
of here while you still can.

1515
02:01:08,295 --> 02:01:10,673
I created the OASIS

1516
02:01:10,839 --> 02:01:14,514
because I never felt at home in the real world.

1517
02:01:15,594 --> 02:01:18,894
I just didn't know how to
connect with the people there.

1518
02:01:20,056 --> 02:01:22,935
I was afraid for all of my life.

1519
02:01:23,560 --> 02:01:26,314
Right up until the day I knew my life was ending.

1520
02:01:31,943 --> 02:01:35,789
Now, that... That was when I realized that,

1521
02:01:36,948 --> 02:01:42,045
as terrifying and painful as reality can be,

1522
02:01:42,913 --> 02:01:46,918
it's also the only place

1523
02:01:48,585 --> 02:01:50,212
that you can get a decent meal.

1524
02:01:56,885 --> 02:01:58,387
Because

1525
02:02:00,138 --> 02:02:01,731
reality

1526
02:02:06,895 --> 02:02:08,397
is real.

1527
02:02:08,563 --> 02:02:10,281
You understand what I'm saying?

1528
02:02:12,108 --> 02:02:14,736
Yes. Yes, I do.

1529
02:02:24,538 --> 02:02:25,790
He did it.

1530
02:02:27,499 --> 02:02:28,967
He got the egg.

1531
02:02:29,793 --> 02:02:31,045
Hooray.

1532
02:02:32,212 --> 02:02:33,839
- No!
- No! Please!

1533
02:03:07,414 --> 02:03:08,666
Hold it!

1534
02:03:10,750 --> 02:03:13,754
Drop the gun! Now! On the ground!

1535
02:03:14,504 --> 02:03:17,098
Turn around! Hands on your head.

1536
02:03:17,257 --> 02:03:18,804
Walk back towards me.

1537
02:03:34,524 --> 02:03:38,950
Mr. Halliday. Something I don't understand.

1538
02:03:39,779 --> 02:03:42,498
You're not an avatar, are you?

1539
02:03:43,116 --> 02:03:44,743
No.

1540
02:03:46,286 --> 02:03:48,289
Is Halliday really dead?

1541
02:03:49,956 --> 02:03:51,549
Yes.

1542
02:03:57,297 --> 02:03:59,049
Then what are you?

1543
02:04:02,302 --> 02:04:04,270
Goodbye, Parzival.

1544
02:04:05,930 --> 02:04:07,022
Thanks.

1545
02:04:08,558 --> 02:04:10,777
Thanks for playing my game.

1546
02:04:39,798 --> 02:04:41,095
Wade?

1547
02:04:42,509 --> 02:04:44,261
- Ogden Morrow?
- Ogden Morrow?

1548
02:04:44,427 --> 02:04:46,054
You can call me "Og."

1549
02:04:46,221 --> 02:04:48,975
Now, there are some people out here
that would very much like to meet you.

1550
02:04:49,557 --> 02:04:52,231
Wow, this is incredible.

1551
02:04:52,811 --> 02:04:55,565
It's an honor to meet you, Og, but I...

1552
02:04:59,776 --> 02:05:01,449
There's something I need to do first.

1553
02:05:05,365 --> 02:05:07,117
I'm not like Halliday.

1554
02:05:10,870 --> 02:05:12,918
I'm taking the leap.

1555
02:05:29,389 --> 02:05:30,607
We're looking for Wade Watts.

1556
02:05:32,517 --> 02:05:34,611
We need you to make a statement
about the clip you sent in

1557
02:05:34,769 --> 02:05:36,692
of Nolan Sorrento's confession.

1558
02:05:36,980 --> 02:05:39,074
Uh, that was me.

1559
02:05:39,733 --> 02:05:42,282
What? I record everything in my workshop.

1560
02:05:48,700 --> 02:05:50,577
Help me out of this.

1561
02:05:56,916 --> 02:05:58,213
Who are you guys?

1562
02:05:59,210 --> 02:06:03,511
The people you need right now, lawyers.
From Gregarious Games.

1563
02:06:06,342 --> 02:06:07,969
They want your signature, Wade.

1564
02:06:15,935 --> 02:06:18,029
I'm splitting it with my clan.

1565
02:06:18,188 --> 02:06:19,986
We're gonna run things together.

1566
02:06:24,527 --> 02:06:26,575
That's a good choice.

1567
02:06:54,516 --> 02:06:57,565
F'Nale, listen to me very carefully.

1568
02:07:06,778 --> 02:07:09,532
Mr. Morrow... I mean, Og,

1569
02:07:09,697 --> 02:07:10,994
how'd you get here so fast?

1570
02:07:11,157 --> 02:07:13,330
I flew from the stars on my magic sleigh.

1571
02:07:13,910 --> 02:07:16,334
Everyone's been watching.

1572
02:07:16,496 --> 02:07:19,716
Of course, I've been watching
a little closer than most.

1573
02:07:23,753 --> 02:07:25,175
You?

1574
02:07:25,672 --> 02:07:26,890
You're the Curator?

1575
02:07:30,635 --> 02:07:32,854
Well played, Parzival.

1576
02:07:34,097 --> 02:07:35,974
Jim told me nothing about the contest,

1577
02:07:36,140 --> 02:07:39,360
so there was no rule about me
losing a bet to a smart kid.

1578
02:07:39,519 --> 02:07:41,192
Not that you needed my help.

1579
02:07:42,146 --> 02:07:46,117
You figured out that Kira was the key on your own.

1580
02:07:46,484 --> 02:07:49,112
Yeah, but... Kira wasn't the key.

1581
02:07:50,446 --> 02:07:52,323
It was you, Mr. Morrow.

1582
02:07:54,450 --> 02:07:56,123
You were the Rosebud.

1583
02:07:56,286 --> 02:07:58,505
And Halliday's biggest regret was

1584
02:08:00,206 --> 02:08:01,799
losing his only friend.

1585
02:08:06,045 --> 02:08:08,218
You know, Jim used to say the OASIS

1586
02:08:08,381 --> 02:08:10,850
was never supposed to be a one-player game.

1587
02:08:14,554 --> 02:08:17,182
Now, who do we have here?

1588
02:08:17,348 --> 02:08:19,851
Oh. Well, look who it is.

1589
02:08:20,018 --> 02:08:21,611
It's my heroes, the High Five.

1590
02:08:21,769 --> 02:08:23,271
- You must be Art3mis.
- Samantha.

1591
02:08:23,438 --> 02:08:25,236
The High Five took over the OASIS,

1592
02:08:25,398 --> 02:08:26,866
and the first thing we did

1593
02:08:27,025 --> 02:08:30,370
was sign Ogden Morrow to a non-exclusive consultancy.

1594
02:08:30,528 --> 02:08:33,373
The salary, per his demand,

1595
02:08:33,531 --> 02:08:36,626
was 25 cents. One quarter.

1596
02:08:39,996 --> 02:08:42,249
With his guidance, our second move was to ban

1597
02:08:42,415 --> 02:08:45,089
any loyalty centers from accessing the OASIS.

1598
02:08:45,877 --> 02:08:49,302
IOI had no choice. They shut 'em all down.

1599
02:08:52,091 --> 02:08:54,560
The third thing we did wasn't as popular.

1600
02:08:55,094 --> 02:08:58,223
We closed the OASIS on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

1601
02:08:59,098 --> 02:09:01,442
I know, it sounds like a weird move,

1602
02:09:01,601 --> 02:09:04,480
but people need to spend
more time in the real world.

1603
02:09:06,147 --> 02:09:09,071
'Cause, like Halliday said,

1604
02:09:09,233 --> 02:09:13,579
reality is the only thing that's real.
