00:01:17,343 --> 00:01:21,414
ANNOUNCER:
Get ready for the feel,
the feel of real. X1.

3
00:01:21,414 --> 00:01:23,249
No pain, no gain.

00:01:45,071 --> 00:01:46,539
Pizza, guys.

(GRUNTING)

8
00:02:08,061 --> 00:02:09,596
Hello, Wade.

9
00:02:09,596 --> 00:02:11,331
Hello, Mrs. Gilmore.

10
00:02:11,331 --> 00:02:14,234
What's the matter?
Life getting you down?

11
00:02:16,069 --> 00:02:17,303
(MRS. GILMORE CHUCKLES)

12
00:02:18,905 --> 00:02:21,441
WADE: I was born in 2027.

13
00:02:21,441 --> 00:02:25,245
After the Corn Syrup Droughts,
after the Bandwidth Riots.

14
00:02:25,245 --> 00:02:27,447
After people stopped trying
to fix problems

15
00:02:27,447 --> 00:02:29,749
and just tried
to outlive them.

16
00:02:36,322 --> 00:02:38,791
My parents,
they didn't make it
through those times,

17
00:02:38,791 --> 00:02:42,762
so I live here
in Columbus, Ohio,
with my Aunt Alice.

18
00:02:42,762 --> 00:02:48,101
In 2045, Columbus is
the fastest-growing city
on Earth.

19
00:02:48,101 --> 00:02:51,437
It's where Halliday and Morrow
started Gregarious Games.

20
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:58,711
These days,
reality is a bummer.

21
00:02:58,711 --> 00:03:00,680
Everyone is looking
for a way to escape,

22
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,215
and that's why Halliday...

23
00:03:02,215 --> 00:03:05,051
That's why he was
such a hero to us.

24
00:03:05,051 --> 00:03:08,621
He showed us
that we could go somewhere
without going anywhere at all.

25
00:03:10,557 --> 00:03:12,325
You don't need a destination

26
00:03:12,325 --> 00:03:14,060
when you're running on
an omnidirectional treadmill

27
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:16,396
with quadraphonic,
pressure-sensitive underlay.

28
00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:19,732
James Halliday saw the future.

29
00:03:19,732 --> 00:03:21,467
And then he built it.

30
00:03:21,467 --> 00:03:23,636
He gave us a place to go.

31
00:03:23,636 --> 00:03:25,972
A place called

32
00:03:25,972 --> 00:03:27,407
the OASIS.

33
00:03:31,744 --> 00:03:34,047
(CHORUS SINGING)

34
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,922
This is the OASIS.

35
00:03:42,922 --> 00:03:47,093
It's a place
where the limits of reality
are your own imagination.

36
00:04:00,506 --> 00:04:02,642
-You can do anything...
-(CROWD CHEERING)

37
00:04:03,610 --> 00:04:04,677
...go anywhere.

38
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:07,914
Like the vacation planet.

39
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:10,717
Surf a 50-foot monster wave
in Hawaii.

40
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:13,620
-You can ski
down the pyramids.
-(SKIERS WHOOPING)

41
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:15,521
You can climb Mount Everest

42
00:04:15,521 --> 00:04:17,023
with Batman.

43
00:04:19,726 --> 00:04:23,363
Check out this place.
It's a casino
the size of a planet.

44
00:04:23,363 --> 00:04:25,031
You can lose your money there.

45
00:04:25,031 --> 00:04:27,433
You can get married.
You can get divorced.

46
00:04:27,433 --> 00:04:31,271
You can...
You can go in there.

47
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:34,374
People come to the OASIS
for all the things
they can do,

48
00:04:34,374 --> 00:04:37,543
but they stay
because of all the things
they can be.

49
00:04:39,045 --> 00:04:42,815
Tall, beautiful, scary,
a different sex,

50
00:04:42,815 --> 00:04:46,052
a different species,
live-action, cartoon.

51
00:04:46,052 --> 00:04:48,655
It's all your call.

52
00:04:48,655 --> 00:04:51,991
Yeah, that's me.
Well, that's my avatar.

53
00:04:51,991 --> 00:04:55,962
At least, until I feel
like changing it.

54
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:58,398
Except for eating, sleeping,
and bathroom breaks,

55
00:04:58,398 --> 00:05:02,468
whatever people wanna do,
they do it in the OASIS.

56
00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:05,471
And since everyone is here,
this is where
we meet each other.

57
00:05:05,471 --> 00:05:06,806
It's where we make friends.

58
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:09,142
Locate Aech.

-(BEEPING)
-COMPUTER: Locating Aech.

60
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:16,349
Aech located.

61
00:05:16,349 --> 00:05:19,652
Sector 12. Planet Doom.

62
00:05:19,652 --> 00:05:22,989
WADE:    Planet Doom,
the most dangerous place
in the OASIS,

63
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:26,092
and a pretty great place
to pick up coin.

64
00:05:26,092 --> 00:05:27,694
Figures Aech would be there.

65
00:05:30,296 --> 00:05:33,766
Aech is my best friend
in the OASIS.

66
00:05:33,766 --> 00:05:36,436
He's my best friend, period.

67
00:05:36,436 --> 00:05:39,339
Even though
I've never actually met him
in the real world.

68

-WADWhat's up, Aech?
-Hey, what up, Z?

69
00:05:45,511 --> 00:05:47,947
Next race is in 20 minutes,
and I can't do the late one.

70
00:05:47,947 --> 00:05:49,649
What the hell are you up to?

71
00:05:49,649 --> 00:05:52,285
Man, gettin' my kills on, bro.

72
00:05:52,285 --> 00:05:53,519
Is that Daito?

73
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:55,121
Daito and Sho.

75
00:06:01,527 --> 00:06:02,995
This an artifact hunt?

00:06:02,995 --> 00:06:05,298
Yup. Gregarious 120.

77
00:06:05,298 --> 00:06:09,869
Turn into any giant robot
for two minutes. That's rad.

78

WADE: Artifacts.

79
00:06:11,971 --> 00:06:14,841
Those were key.

80
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:17,009
Halliday made sure
the OASIS was littered

81
00:06:17,009 --> 00:06:19,712
with enough
randomly powerful stuff

82
00:06:19,712 --> 00:06:24,083
that anyone could win
if they had the skills.

83
00:06:24,083 --> 00:06:26,919
Death matches
and artifact hunts
are a good way to coin-snatch,

84
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:29,689
but depending
on your level of armor,
they're risky.

85

(LAUGHS)

86
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:33,526
You see,
everyone starts the same,

87
00:06:33,526 --> 00:06:34,994
but the more coin you make...

88
00:06:34,994 --> 00:06:37,163
-Mom! Mom!
-...the more you level up.

AECOkay, Mom, I heard you.

00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:16,235
WADE: You see, the OASIS
was the brainchild
of James Halliday.

107
00:07:16,235 --> 00:07:21,140
He and his partner,
Ogden Morrow, released
the first OASIS build in 2025.

108
00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:25,411
It was an instant success,
and it made them both
very rich.

109
00:07:25,411 --> 00:07:29,048
But Morrow was out of
the picture after a few years.
And Halliday?

110
00:07:29,048 --> 00:07:32,385
He wasn't just the owner of
the world's biggest company.

111
00:07:32,385 --> 00:07:36,322
He was like a god.
People loved him.

112
00:07:36,322 --> 00:07:38,491
They worshiped him
as much as his creation.

113
00:07:38,491 --> 00:07:41,327
Maybe we should stop
talking about it

114
00:07:41,327 --> 00:07:43,830
and start, uh, showing it.

115
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:46,132
If you all wanna reach
under your seats,

116
00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:48,468
you'll find that
there's nothing there.

If you're watching this,
I'm dead.

125
00:08:29,041 --> 00:08:36,282
Before I died, I created
what we in the biz
call an "Easter egg."

126
00:08:36,282 --> 00:08:43,189
A hidden object in a game
that gives special powers
to whoever discovers it.

Three hidden challenges
test for worthy traits

136
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:24,897
revealing three hidden keys
to three magic gates.

to survive these straits

just laying around
under a rock somewhere.

they're invisible,

is to find three keys,

no one has even
gotten one key.

Still empty.

cracked the first clue

152
00:10:19,752 --> 00:10:21,621
and found the first challenge.

153

Then, this portal appeared.

154
00:10:24,323 --> 00:10:27,760
But the challenge to win
the first key was a race
designed by Halliday

155
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,763
that was so hard,
no one had ever finished it.

are the gunters,
as in "egg hunters,"

protecting my small slice
of nothing.

344
00:22:32,884 --> 00:22:35,153
Or maybe...

345
00:22:35,153 --> 00:22:37,656
Maybe it's because
that line means something

346
00:22:37,656 --> 00:22:39,358
and I missed it.

347
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:40,525
(POP MUSIC PLAYING)

348
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,729
The day the contest
was announced,

349
00:22:43,729 --> 00:22:46,064
the Halliday Journals
appeared.

350
00:22:46,064 --> 00:22:49,234
He told us
to look in his brain.
This was the next best thing.

351
00:22:49,234 --> 00:22:52,738
At first,
it was jammed with gunters
looking for answers.

352
00:22:52,738 --> 00:22:55,374
Now, the once-crowded halls
of Halliday's memories

353
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:56,641
are left to people like me.

354
00:22:56,641 --> 00:22:59,411
Parzival. Oh, joy!

355
00:22:59,411 --> 00:23:02,914
And how will you eat up
my valuable search time today?

356
00:23:02,914 --> 00:23:05,083
Gregarious Games, 2029...
Office party.

357
00:23:05,083 --> 00:23:08,253
Office party.
Yes, you've only seen it
a thousand times.

358
00:23:08,253 --> 00:23:11,022
Why not go back?

359
00:23:11,022 --> 00:23:14,726
Each entry
into Halliday's Journals
is meticulously assembled

360
00:23:14,726 --> 00:23:17,229
from personal photographs,
home video recordings,

361
00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:19,164
surveillance, and nanny cams.

362
00:23:19,164 --> 00:23:23,001
All rendered
into a three-dimensional
virtual experience.

363
00:23:23,001 --> 00:23:26,671
Also, Halliday archived
every film, game, book,
and television program

364
00:23:26,671 --> 00:23:30,008
he ever saw,
located on the mezzanine.

365
00:23:30,008 --> 00:23:33,578
No weapons or mature-themed
avatars are permitted
within the Journals.

366
00:23:33,578 --> 00:23:37,382
Please enjoy
your time with us,
and happy gunting!

367
00:23:37,382 --> 00:23:39,217
HALLIDAY: I like cleaning up.

368
00:23:39,217 --> 00:23:41,653
MORROW: Okay, Jim,
I'm, uh... I'm going.

369
00:23:46,558 --> 00:23:49,528
Everything changes, Jim.
Everything evolves.

370
00:23:49,528 --> 00:23:52,898
HALLIDAY: Some things
are perfect just the way
they arAsteroids.

371
00:23:52,898 --> 00:23:56,968
People don't live inside
an Asteroids arcade cabinet.

372
00:23:58,270 --> 00:24:00,138
I know that.

373
00:24:00,138 --> 00:24:02,374
Yeah, well,
people are living inside
the arcade we built.

374
00:24:02,374 --> 00:24:04,543
-I built.
-Uh, well... (SIGHS)

375
00:24:04,543 --> 00:24:07,245
Right. Well,
I guess you can say
whatever you want.

376
00:24:07,245 --> 00:24:08,780
I don't really wanna
talk about it anymore.

377
00:24:08,780 --> 00:24:09,948
No, of course
you don't wanna talk about it.

378
00:24:09,948 --> 00:24:11,383
You're forcing me out.

379
00:24:11,383 --> 00:24:12,918
Closer on Halliday.

380
00:24:12,918 --> 00:24:14,786
Look, invention
comes with responsibilities

381
00:24:14,786 --> 00:24:16,955
you didn't ask for.

382
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:19,157
All right,
if you make something
people want or need

383
00:24:19,157 --> 00:24:21,960
then it's up to you
to set the limits.
You have to make some rules.

384
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,562
(WHISPERS)
"I don't wanna make
any more rules."

385
00:24:23,562 --> 00:24:25,397
I don't wanna make
any more rules.

386
00:24:25,397 --> 00:24:26,832
"I'm a dreamer."

387
00:24:26,832 --> 00:24:28,133
I'm a dreamer.

388
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:31,069
-I build worlds.
-"I build worlds."

389
00:24:31,069 --> 00:24:33,839
We created
something beautiful, Jim,
but it's changed.

390
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:35,474
Okay? It's really
not a game anymore.

391
00:24:35,474 --> 00:24:37,108
Are we finished?

392
00:24:37,108 --> 00:24:41,646
I liked how things were
when they were...

393
00:24:43,081 --> 00:24:45,250
When it was a game.

394
00:24:45,250 --> 00:24:48,019
And we're back to where
we started. But that's
the point, isn't it?

395
00:24:48,019 --> 00:24:50,522
Things move forward
whether you like it or not.

396
00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:52,657
Yeah, we're finished.

397
00:24:52,657 --> 00:24:54,359
MORROW: (SCOFFS) Fine.

398
00:24:56,528 --> 00:25:00,365
HALLIDAY:
Why can't we go backwards,
for once?

399
00:25:02,667 --> 00:25:06,872
Backwards, really fast.
Fast as we can. (LAUGHS)

400
00:25:06,872 --> 00:25:08,974
Really put
the pedal to the metal,
you know?

401
00:25:08,974 --> 00:25:11,676
Go back 10 seconds!

402
00:25:11,676 --> 00:25:16,314
Why can't we go backwards,
for once?

403
00:25:16,314 --> 00:25:20,719
Backwards, really fast.
Fast as we can. (LAUGHS)

404
00:25:20,719 --> 00:25:23,522
Really put
the pedal to the metal,
you know?

405
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:26,324
Bill and Ted did it.

409
00:25:57,489 --> 00:25:59,858

Mr. Halliday... Anorak.

421
00:27:52,871 --> 00:27:54,439
It's such an honor.

422
00:27:54,439 --> 00:27:56,741
The honor is all mine.

423
00:28:07,819 --> 00:28:09,621
Get yourself a clue.

424
00:28:24,135 --> 00:28:27,739
Who is this Parzival,
and how the hell
is he winning?

425
00:28:27,739 --> 00:28:30,375
Well, here's
a better question.
Who cares?

426
00:28:30,375 --> 00:28:32,477
Halliday's contest
is vitally important.

427
00:28:32,477 --> 00:28:35,580
I mean,
it's nothing less than a war
for control of the future.

428
00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:38,817
But this Parzival?
He's not even clanned up.

429
00:28:38,817 --> 00:28:42,153
He's alone. We have an army.

430
00:28:42,153 --> 00:28:43,888
EXECUTIVE: And yet,
he's got the first key.

431
00:28:43,888 --> 00:28:45,757
Yeah, he has a key,

432
00:28:45,757 --> 00:28:48,760
but you have to get
three of 'em
to win the contest.

433
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,429
Our stock dove 6% yesterday.

434

Loyalty division is reporting
profits of 28%. F'Nale.

435
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,236
We're opening
five new loyalty centers
this month.

Debt Services dwarfs Hardware.

437
00:29:00,271 --> 00:29:02,340
Now, you really
wanna talk to me
about stock prices?

438
00:29:02,340 --> 00:29:04,375
The shareholders
won't be happy.

439
00:29:04,375 --> 00:29:07,045
It's not our job to make
them happy. It's our job
to make them money,

440
00:29:07,045 --> 00:29:11,149
but once we launch
this little baby,
they're gonna flip.

of our planned upgrades.

Once we can roll back
some of Halliday's
ad restrictions,

444
00:29:20,125 --> 00:29:24,195
we estimate
we can sell up to 80%

seizures, so picture this...

446

All of this implies
we win the contest.

00:29:35,573 --> 00:29:37,742
Indeed, it does.

and 100,000 coins?

00:29:42,313 --> 00:29:43,815
As soon as I took the key,

451
00:29:43,815 --> 00:29:45,717
all the coins
just appeared in my account.

on a planet, even the owner.

WADE: IOI.
They buy everything.

I need one of those.

i-R0k, old friend.
How are you?

464
00:31:34,592 --> 00:31:36,261
To be honest,
I have kind of a neck thing.

465
00:31:36,261 --> 00:31:38,229
It's like a carpel-tunnel deal

466
00:31:38,229 --> 00:31:40,098
but with your neck,
if that's even a thing.

467
00:31:40,098 --> 00:31:42,734
So if you could just stand
to... to your right.

468
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:44,002
My right, your left.

469
00:31:45,870 --> 00:31:49,240
Thanks,
it's the repetitive stress.
Oh. (CHUCKLES)

00:31:50,275 --> 00:31:51,442
Here he is.

471
00:31:53,511 --> 00:31:58,516
The steampunk pirate king.
I knew him well, Sorrento.

472
00:31:58,516 --> 00:32:00,885
There are only three things
in this world I hate,

473
00:32:00,885 --> 00:32:04,856
steampunk, pirates,
and tabbouleh.

474
00:32:04,856 --> 00:32:07,692
I mean,
why do they even have it?

475
00:32:07,692 --> 00:32:10,395
Is there a reason
we're meeting here?

476
00:32:10,395 --> 00:32:15,633
Yes, Nolan. The Orb of Osuvox.

477
00:32:15,633 --> 00:32:19,003
You wanted it. He had it.
And so here it is.

478
00:32:22,774 --> 00:32:26,744
It creates
an impenetrable magic shield
that can only be taken down

479
00:32:26,744 --> 00:32:29,113
by a magic spell.

480
00:32:29,113 --> 00:32:31,549
The Orb of Osuvox.

481
00:32:31,549 --> 00:32:32,951
Don't say that again.

482
00:32:32,951 --> 00:32:34,052
Okay.

483
00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:39,924
Now, I'm gonna need you
to keep this for now.

484
00:32:39,924 --> 00:32:42,160
I'm gonna let you know
when I wanna use it.

485
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,227
Okay?

486
00:32:45,129 --> 00:32:46,631
(BEEPING)

487
00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:50,668
Right now, though,
I have another job for you.

488
00:32:50,668 --> 00:32:52,003
Ah.

489
00:32:52,003 --> 00:32:53,938
Parzival.

490
00:32:53,938 --> 00:32:56,908
Let me guess,
you want him
off the scoreboard.

491
00:32:57,742 --> 00:32:59,243
Can you do that?

492
00:32:59,243 --> 00:33:01,779
Well, he's a superstar.

493
00:33:01,779 --> 00:33:03,648
He made it
through the first gate

494
00:33:03,648 --> 00:33:06,250
and avatars
are gonna be on him
like hoes on Santa.

495
00:33:06,250 --> 00:33:09,487
i-R0k, how much more
do you want?

496
00:33:09,487 --> 00:33:13,124
That's what I like
about you, Nolan.
You never lick.

497
00:33:13,124 --> 00:33:15,159
You bite straight
to the chocolaty center

498
00:33:15,159 --> 00:33:17,295

with the owl?

501
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:24,502
Three times my normal fee.

502
00:33:24,502 --> 00:33:26,137
Done.

503
00:33:26,137 --> 00:33:28,006
Wait, really?
I should have asked for five.

504
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:30,008
Is four still on the table?

505
00:33:32,210 --> 00:33:35,213
WADE: There's five of us
on the big board now.

506
00:33:35,213 --> 00:33:38,016
Art3mis was next,
no surprise there.

507
00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:41,352
She was on the track
when I won.
She saw me going backwards.

508
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:46,391
I gave Aech a tip, made him
promise not to say anything,
and then he won next.

509
00:33:46,391 --> 00:33:49,060
I'm pretty sure
he bragged to our pal Daito,

510
00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:51,796

ART3MIS: The Distracted Globe
was one of the first clubs

691
00:43:54,832 --> 00:43:56,100
Halliday created in the OASIS.

692
00:43:56,100 --> 00:43:57,601
That's common knowledge.

693
00:43:57,601 --> 00:43:59,937
But I double-checked

694
00:43:59,937 --> 00:44:02,406
and it turns out he started
building it right after
that moment you showed me.

695
00:44:02,406 --> 00:44:03,674
The date with Kira.

696
00:44:03,674 --> 00:44:05,776
Right, and she was
a serious dancer.

697
00:44:05,776 --> 00:44:07,845
Maybe he thought
he'd take her here,

698
00:44:07,845 --> 00:44:10,681
like on a virtual date.

699
00:44:10,681 --> 00:44:12,583
As if that ever works.

700
00:44:12,583 --> 00:44:14,084
So Halliday built it for her?

701
00:44:14,084 --> 00:44:15,419
But they never made it
past the first date.

702
00:44:15,419 --> 00:44:16,854
So Halliday's the creator...

703
00:44:16,854 --> 00:44:18,188
Who hates his own creation.

704
00:44:18,188 --> 00:44:19,590
And the club
is the thing he hates.

00:44:19,590 --> 00:44:21,892

706

had the Copper Key,

708

to help you find that egg,

854

Four million a year.

to find that Easter egg,
there's a bonus.

It's smart,
not to show your hand.

would have the same plans.

863

What, for the OASIS?

a John Hughes fan...

Of course I am.

866
00:54:38,275 --> 00:54:40,910
Because the first thing
that I would do

867
00:54:40,910 --> 00:54:44,648
is convert all the schools
on Ludus to replicas

868
00:54:44,648 --> 00:54:47,817

and    Ferris Bueller.

869
00:54:47,817 --> 00:54:50,987
No way. That's a great idea.

870
00:54:50,987 --> 00:54:53,456
Which school,
Ridgemont or Faber?

871
00:54:53,456 --> 00:54:56,559
Fast Times at Ridgemont High,
not John Hughes.

872
00:54:56,559 --> 00:54:59,796
It's a trap.
Faber College
from Animal House.

873
00:54:59,796 --> 00:55:01,431
John Hughes didn't direct

874
00:55:01,431 --> 00:55:04,434

or Animal House.

875
00:55:04,434 --> 00:55:07,771
Ferris Bueller    and
The Breakfast Club, they went
to Shermer High School,

876
00:55:07,771 --> 00:55:11,308
which is in Shermer, Illinois.

879
00:55:16,413 --> 00:55:19,516

for what comes after.

890

What would Halliday say?

891
00:56:01,057 --> 00:56:03,793
James Halliday is dead.

892
00:56:05,028 --> 00:56:09,032
Yeah. He is.

893

All that's left of him
is this contest.
And you know what?

894

he wouldn't want you
winning it.

what I really think...

If they dump you,
I'll consider it.

903

off the record.

904
00:56:41,664 --> 00:56:43,700
I had to make the offer.

905
00:56:43,700 --> 00:56:46,703
The board expected it,
but I was really hoping
you'd say no.

906

01:16:48,036 --> 01:16:49,871
She told us to meet you here.

1194
01:16:49,871 --> 01:16:51,273
Samantha,
they took her to the--

1195
01:16:51,273 --> 01:16:53,308
The loyalty center, I know.

1196
01:16:53,308 --> 01:16:56,878
Look, in other awesome news,
the Sixers found
the third challenge.

1197
01:16:56,878 --> 01:16:58,780
-What?
-Just come on, get in!

1198
01:16:58,780 --> 01:16:59,982

1201
01:17:13,895 --> 01:17:16,398
How did IOI find
the third challenge so fast?

1202
01:17:16,398 --> 01:17:18,500
IOI cracked
the first three lines
of the clue,

1203
01:17:18,500 --> 01:17:20,168
so they knew it was sector 14

1204
01:17:20,168 --> 01:17:21,770
but they couldn't figure out
"the fortress tragic."

1205
01:17:21,770 --> 01:17:24,172
So they sent every guide
they had into that sector

1206
01:17:24,172 --> 01:17:26,141
until they found
the right fortress.

1207

01:17:28,644 --> 01:17:30,946

His real name is Xo.

1210
01:17:32,981 --> 01:17:35,751
But everyone else
calls me Sho,
no big deal.

1211
01:17:35,751 --> 01:17:38,520
No. It is a big deal.

1212
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:42,090
Sho, you're
the world's most badass
11-year-old ever.

Yeah.

and make him give Art3mis
back to us.

I have to know exactly,

We're in his account.

So he really doesn't know
he's in the OASIS?

This is what Sorrento
should be seeing,

but this... This is what we're
making him see.

We grabbed him in transit
just as he was logging out
of the OASIS,

1298
01:23:20,595 --> 01:23:23,465

he's back in his office
in the real world.

they just put a force field

around Anorak's Castle.

1315
01:24:14,749 --> 01:24:17,419
I heard
one of the guards calling it
"the Orb of Osuvox,"

1316
01:24:17,419 --> 01:24:19,988
and the only way
to take it down
is from the inside.
