- Get ready for the feel,
- the feel of real. X1.
- 2
- 00:01:22,374 --> 00:01:24,115
- No pain, no gain.
- 3
- 00:01:46,023 --> 00:01:47,434
- Pizza, guys.
- 4
- 00:01:53,363 --> 00:01:54,570
- Whoo-hoo!
- 5
- 00:02:09,004 --> 00:02:10,370
- Hello, Wade.
- 6
- 00:02:10,547 --> 00:02:12,129
- Hello, Mrs. Gilmore.
- 7
- 00:02:12,299 --> 00:02:15,133
- What's the matter?
- Life getting you down?
- 8
- 00:02:19,848 --> 00:02:22,215
- I was born in 2027.
- 9
- 00:02:22,392 --> 00:02:26,011
- After the Corn Syrup Droughts,
- after the Bandwidth Riots.
- 10
- 00:02:26,188 --> 00:02:28,225
- After people stopped trying
- to fix problems
- 11
- 00:02:28,398 --> 00:02:30,640
- and just tried to outlive them.
- 12
- 00:02:37,282 --> 00:02:39,569
- My parents, they didn't make it
- through those times,
- 13
- 00:02:39,743 --> 00:02:42,907
- so I live here in Columbus, Ohio,
- with my Aunt Alice.
- 14
- 00:02:43,705 --> 00:02:48,075
- In 2045, Columbus is
- the fastest-growing city on Earth.
- 15
- 00:02:49,044 --> 00:02:52,333
- It's where Halliday and Morrow
- started Gregarious Games.
- 16
- 00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:59,502
- These days, reality is a bummer.
- 17
- 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,467
- Everyone is looking for a way to escape,
- 18
- 00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:02,881
- and that's why Halliday...
- 19
- 00:03:03,058 --> 00:03:05,015
- That's why he was such a hero to us.
- 20
- 00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:09,512
- He showed us that we could go somewhere
- without going anywhere at all.
- 21
- 00:03:11,525 --> 00:03:12,515
- You don't need a destination
- 22
- 00:03:12,734 --> 00:03:14,817
- when you're running
- on an omnidirectional treadmill
- 23
- 00:03:14,986 --> 00:03:17,273
- with quadraphonic,
- pressure-sensitive underlay.
- 24
- 00:03:18,281 --> 00:03:20,523
- James Halliday saw the future.
- 25
- 00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:22,237
- And then he built it.
- 26
- 00:03:22,411 --> 00:03:24,403
- He gave us a place to go.
- 27
- 00:03:24,579 --> 00:03:26,320
- A place called
- 28
- 00:03:26,915 --> 00:03:28,281
- the OASIS.
- 29
- 00:03:41,471 --> 00:03:43,633
- This is the OASIS.
- 30
- 00:03:43,807 --> 00:03:47,972
- It's a place where the limits of reality
- are your own imagination.
- 31
- 00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:03,533
- You can do anything...
- 32
- 00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:05,568
- ...go anywhere.
- 33
- 00:04:07,205 --> 00:04:08,696
- Like the vacation planet.
- 34
- 00:04:08,874 --> 00:04:11,582
- Surf a 50-foot monster wave in Hawaii.
- 35
- 00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:13,910
- You can ski down the pyramids.
- 36
- 00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:16,295
- You can climb Mount Everest
- 37
- 00:04:16,465 --> 00:04:17,922
- with Batman.
- 38
- 00:04:20,677 --> 00:04:24,136
- Check out this place.
- It's a casino the size of a planet.
- 39
- 00:04:24,306 --> 00:04:25,513
- You can lose your money there.
- 40
- 00:04:25,682 --> 00:04:28,049
- You can get married.
- You can get divorced.
- 41
- 00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:30,559
- You can... You can go in there.
- 42
- 00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:35,143
- People come to the OASIS
- for all the things they can do,
- 43
- 00:04:35,317 --> 00:04:38,435
- but they stay because of all the things
- they can be.
- 44
- 00:04:39,988 --> 00:04:43,607
- Tall, beautiful, scary, a different sex,
- 45
- 00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:46,822
- a different species,
- live-action, cartoon.
- 46
- 00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:48,577
- It's all your call.
- 47
- 00:04:49,623 --> 00:04:52,787
- Yeah, that's me.
- Well, that's my avatar.
- 48
- 00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:55,747
- At least, until I feel like changing it.
- 49
- 00:04:56,922 --> 00:04:59,164
- Except for eating, sleeping,
- and bathroom breaks,
- 50
- 00:04:59,341 --> 00:05:02,584
- whatever people wanna do,
- they do it in the OASIS.
- 51
- 00:05:03,428 --> 00:05:06,262
- And since everyone is here,
- this is where we meet each other.
- 52
- 00:05:06,431 --> 00:05:07,592
- It's where we make friends.
- 53
- 00:05:07,766 --> 00:05:08,927
- Locate Aech.
- 54
- 00:05:10,101 --> 00:05:12,343
- Locating Aech.
- 55
- 00:05:15,232 --> 00:05:16,598
- Aech located.
- 56
- 00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:19,980
- Sector 12. Planet Doom.
- 57
- 00:05:20,612 --> 00:05:23,776
- Planet Doom,
- the most dangerous place in the OASIS,
- 58
- 00:05:23,949 --> 00:05:26,862
- and a pretty great place
- to pick up coin.
- 59
- 00:05:27,035 --> 00:05:28,571
- Figures Aech would be there.
- 60
- 00:05:31,248 --> 00:05:33,831
- Aech is my best friend in the OASIS.
- 61
- 00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:37,201
- He's my best friend, period.
- 62
- 00:05:37,379 --> 00:05:40,213
- Even though I've never actually met him
- in the real world.
- 63
- 00:05:44,135 --> 00:05:46,297
- - What's up, Aech?
- - Hey, what up, Z?
- 64
- 00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:48,713
- Next race is in 20 minutes,
- and I can't do the late one.
- 65
- 00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:50,426
- What the hell are you up to?
- 66
- 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,058
- Man, gettin' my kills on, bro.
- 67
- 00:05:53,228 --> 00:05:54,309
- Is that Daito?
- 68
- 00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:56,015
- Daito and Sho.
- 69
- 00:06:02,487 --> 00:06:03,773
- This an artifact hunt?
- 70
- 00:06:03,947 --> 00:06:06,064
- Yup. Gregarious 120.
- 71
- 00:06:06,241 --> 00:06:10,155
- Turn into any giant robot
- for 2 minutes. That's rad.
- 72
- 00:06:10,829 --> 00:06:12,115
- Artifacts.
- 73
- 00:06:12,914 --> 00:06:14,871
- Those were key.
- 74
- 00:06:15,792 --> 00:06:17,784
- Halliday made sure
- the OASIS was littered
- 75
- 00:06:17,961 --> 00:06:20,499
- with enough randomly powerful stuff
- 76
- 00:06:20,672 --> 00:06:23,460
- that anyone could win
- if they had the skills.
- 77
- 00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:27,714
- Death matches and artifact hunts
- are a good way to coin-snatch,
- 78
- 00:06:27,888 --> 00:06:30,551
- but depending on your level of armor,
- they're risky.
- 79
- 00:06:32,017 --> 00:06:34,304
- You see, everyone starts the same,
- 80
- 00:06:34,477 --> 00:06:35,558
- but the more coin you make...
- 81
- 00:06:35,729 --> 00:06:37,345
- - Mom! Mom!
- - ...the more you level up.
- 82
- 00:06:37,522 --> 00:06:39,935
- If you get killed,
- your avatar can come back to life...
- 83
- 00:06:40,025 --> 00:06:41,015
- Go get your dad!
- 84
- 00:06:41,109 --> 00:06:42,771
- ...but you lose all your stuff.
- 85
- 00:06:44,487 --> 00:06:46,570
- Everything you've ever worked for.
- 86
- 00:06:47,490 --> 00:06:48,822
- All your money.
- 87
- 00:06:50,994 --> 00:06:52,360
- Your clothes.
- 88
- 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,366
- Your weapons.
- 89
- 00:06:55,999 --> 00:06:58,616
- Since people spend
- most of their time in the OASIS...
- 90
- 00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:02,704
- ...losing your shit means...
- 91
- 00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:05,836
- Well, losing your shit.
- 92
- 00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:10,670
- Aech, 10 minutes until the race starts.
- 93
- 00:07:10,847 --> 00:07:12,679
- Okay, Mom, I heard you.
- 94
- 00:07:12,849 --> 00:07:17,014
- You see, the OASIS was
- the brainchild of James Halliday.
- 95
- 00:07:17,187 --> 00:07:21,932
- He and his partner, Ogden Morrow,
- released the first OASIS build in 2025.
- 96
- 00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:26,193
- It was an instant success,
- and it made them both very rich.
- 97
- 00:07:26,363 --> 00:07:29,822
- But Morrow was out of the picture
- after a few years. And Halliday?
- 98
- 00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:33,155
- He wasn't just the owner of
- the world's biggest company.
- 99
- 00:07:33,328 --> 00:07:37,117
- He was like a god. People loved him.
- 100
- 00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:39,282
- They worshiped him
- as much as his creation.
- 101
- 00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:42,122
- Maybe we should stop talking about it
- 102
- 00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:44,628
- and start, uh, showing it.
- 103
- 00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:46,915
- If you all wanna reach under your seats,
- 104
- 00:07:47,092 --> 00:07:49,254
- you'll find that there's nothing there.
- 105
- 00:07:49,427 --> 00:07:52,761
- But we're each gonna bring you one now.
- 106
- 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,554
- And then, on January 7, 2040...
- 107
- 00:08:00,605 --> 00:08:01,595
- He died.
- 108
- 00:08:04,651 --> 00:08:05,812
- And what he left behind
- 109
- 00:08:07,237 --> 00:08:09,775
- changed everything.
- 110
- 00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,375
- Hello. I am James Halliday.
- 111
- 00:08:26,548 --> 00:08:29,461
- If you're watching this, I'm dead.
- 112
- 00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:36,007
- Before I died, I created
- what we in the biz call an "Easter egg."
- 113
- 00:08:37,225 --> 00:08:44,064
- A hidden object in a game that gives
- special powers to whoever discovers it.
- 114
- 00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:47,980
- The first person to find the egg
- 115
- 00:08:48,153 --> 00:08:51,396
- I've hidden somewhere inside the OASIS
- 116
- 00:08:51,573 --> 00:08:55,237
- will inherit my stock
- in Gregarious Games,
- 117
- 00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:59,199
- currently valued in excess
- of half a million...
- 118
- 00:08:59,289 --> 00:09:02,123
- Uh, half a trillion dollars' worth,
- 119
- 00:09:02,292 --> 00:09:07,663
- and total control of the OASIS itself.
- 120
- 00:09:08,757 --> 00:09:13,969
- In the form of my avatar,
- Anorak the All-Knowing,
- 121
- 00:09:14,471 --> 00:09:17,134
- I created 3 keys.
- 122
- 00:09:18,141 --> 00:09:21,350
- 3 hidden challenges
- test for worthy traits
- 123
- 00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:25,684
- revealing 3 hidden keys
- to 3 magic gates.
- 124
- 00:09:25,857 --> 00:09:29,851
- And those with the skill
- to survive these straits
- 125
- 00:09:30,028 --> 00:09:34,648
- will reach the end,
- where the prize awaits.
- 126
- 00:09:34,824 --> 00:09:37,316
- Off you go, keys.
- 127
- 00:09:39,662 --> 00:09:44,498
- The keys aren't just laying around
- under a rock somewhere.
- 128
- 00:09:44,667 --> 00:09:47,250
- I suppose you could say
- they're invisible,
- 129
- 00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:50,959
- hidden in a dark room
- that's at the center of a maze
- 130
- 00:09:51,132 --> 00:09:54,045
- that's located somewhere
- 131
- 00:09:55,053 --> 00:09:57,090
- up here.
- 132
- 00:09:57,472 --> 00:10:01,512
- Let the hunt for Halliday's Easter egg
- 133
- 00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,221
- begin.
- 134
- 00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:11,976
- The challenge
- is to find 3 keys,
- 135
- 00:10:12,153 --> 00:10:15,612
- but in 5 years,
- no one has even gotten one key.
- 136
- 00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,069
- And the big scoreboard? Still empty.
- 137
- 00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:20,526
- Some long-forgotten gunter
- cracked the first clue
- 138
- 00:10:20,703 --> 00:10:22,365
- and found the first challenge.
- 139
- 00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:24,537
- Then, this portal appeared.
- 140
- 00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:28,534
- But the challenge to win the first key
- was a race designed by Halliday
- 141
- 00:10:28,711 --> 00:10:31,545
- that was so hard,
- no one had ever finished it.
- 142
- 00:10:31,714 --> 00:10:35,048
- The only ones still trying
- are the gunters, as in "egg hunters,"
- 143
- 00:10:35,218 --> 00:10:38,086
- like me and Sho and Daito,
- and my best friend, Aech.
- 144
- 00:10:38,805 --> 00:10:42,048
- Oh, and of course, the Sixers.
- 145
- 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,681
- The Sixers work for IOI...
- 146
- 00:10:43,768 --> 00:10:44,758
- Sixers!
- 147
- 00:10:44,853 --> 00:10:46,185
- ...Innovative Online Industries.
- 148
- 00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:48,391
- They're the second-largest company
- in the world
- 149
- 00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:50,352
- with designs on becoming the first.
- 150
- 00:10:50,817 --> 00:10:52,604
- Which is why they're putting
- everything they got
- 151
- 00:10:52,777 --> 00:10:53,938
- into winning Halliday's contest.
- 152
- 00:10:54,112 --> 00:10:55,728
- Buckle up!
- 153
- 00:10:56,573 --> 00:10:58,439
- Sit in!
- 154
- 00:10:58,616 --> 00:11:01,324
- We call 'em "Sixers"
- 'cause that's the company rule.
- 155
- 00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:02,951
- No name, just numbers.
- 156
- 00:11:04,747 --> 00:11:07,410
- They have a support team
- made up of Halliday scholars.
- 157
- 00:11:07,584 --> 00:11:10,122
- Like me, they spend all their time
- studying pop culture
- 158
- 00:11:10,295 --> 00:11:11,661
- that Halliday was obsessed with,
- 159
- 00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:13,875
- trying to find clues
- to solve the contest.
- 160
- 00:11:16,551 --> 00:11:19,339
- They're just following
- the orders of the head of IOI,
- 161
- 00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:22,550
- this dickweed named Nolan Sorrento.
- 162
- 00:11:28,605 --> 00:11:29,846
- How'd you get here before me?
- 163
- 00:11:30,023 --> 00:11:32,515
- Well, I didn't make a pit stop
- at the hair salon.
- 164
- 00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:34,479
- - What up, Z?
- - What's up, Aech?
- 165
- 00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:36,311
- Saved you a spot.
- 166
- 00:11:36,487 --> 00:11:37,603
- Thanks, bro.
- 167
- 00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:43,071
- I gotta go to the back.
- 168
- 00:11:43,244 --> 00:11:46,078
- Ugh. So you can skim coins
- from crashed cars?
- 169
- 00:11:46,247 --> 00:11:48,864
- - That's just sad, man.
- - Fuel's low.
- 170
- 00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:52,456
- Oh, but you still had enough to pay for
- that Something About Mary hairdo.
- 171
- 00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:35,077
- First to the key.
- 172
- 00:12:36,464 --> 00:12:37,454
- First to the egg!
- 173
- 00:13:27,015 --> 00:13:28,881
- Aech, are you seeing this?
- 174
- 00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:33,977
- Yeah, I see it.
- That's Kaneda's bike from Akira.
- 175
- 00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,184
- It's a licensed skin
- over a standard frame.
- 176
- 00:13:36,357 --> 00:13:38,565
- No, not the bike. Forget the bike.
- 177
- 00:13:39,235 --> 00:13:40,897
- The girl, I think it's Art3mis.
- 178
- 00:13:41,070 --> 00:13:43,107
- The Art3mis? The Sixer Fixer?
- 179
- 00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:46,152
- I've seen all her walk-throughs,
- her Twitch streams.
- 180
- 00:13:46,326 --> 00:13:48,192
- It's her. It's definitely her.
- 181
- 00:15:35,351 --> 00:15:37,434
- Go, go, go! Get there! Come on!
- 182
- 00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:44,312
- You got it, you got it!
- 183
- 00:15:53,828 --> 00:15:55,194
- Balls.
- 184
- 00:16:00,918 --> 00:16:01,908
- She's not gonna make it.
- 185
- 00:16:04,714 --> 00:16:06,376
- Bail! Bail out!
- 186
- 00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:07,539
- Bail!
- 187
- 00:16:13,764 --> 00:16:15,380
- Ow!
- 188
- 00:16:46,005 --> 00:16:47,337
- Damn, I loved that bike.
- 189
- 00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:48,748
- Oh, Aech could...
- 190
- 00:16:48,925 --> 00:16:51,383
- Well, he's my friend,
- but he could fix it for you.
- 191
- 00:16:58,809 --> 00:17:01,472
- This is my workshop. Touch nothing.
- 192
- 00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:10,067
- Where did you find an Iron Giant?
- 193
- 00:17:10,238 --> 00:17:12,901
- Find it? I'm building it.
- That's a commission.
- 194
- 00:17:13,115 --> 00:17:15,903
- Oh, yeah. Aech is top-rated
- on the mod boards.
- 195
- 00:17:16,077 --> 00:17:18,740
- People all over the OASIS
- pay him serious coin.
- 196
- 00:17:18,913 --> 00:17:21,121
- Oh, hey, check this out!
- 197
- 00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:22,747
- Hey. Z, yo.
- 198
- 00:17:24,293 --> 00:17:26,580
- - The Galactica, of course.
- - These are my babies, all right, man?
- 199
- 00:17:26,754 --> 00:17:28,370
- Sulaco, from Aliens.
- 200
- 00:17:28,548 --> 00:17:29,914
- Dude, how are you showing off my shit?
- 201
- 00:17:30,091 --> 00:17:32,549
- Valley Forge, from Silent Running.
- Oh, where's the Harkonnen Drop-Ship?
- 202
- 00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:35,085
- That thing is sick.
- Folds space like a boss.
- 203
- 00:17:35,263 --> 00:17:37,004
- I mean, you can get from Incipio
- to Arrakis in three seconds...
- 204
- 00:17:37,348 --> 00:17:38,930
- Fingers!
- 205
- 00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:40,261
- You'll have to excuse him.
- 206
- 00:17:40,434 --> 00:17:42,596
- He gets a little nervous
- around pretty girls.
- 207
- 00:17:49,777 --> 00:17:52,235
- I can fix it in 10 minutes.
- 208
- 00:17:53,614 --> 00:17:56,072
- Yup. He's pretty great.
- 209
- 00:17:56,242 --> 00:17:59,110
- I assume you and Shoulder Blades
- are clanned up.
- 210
- 00:17:59,287 --> 00:18:01,404
- Oh, Aech? Nah.
- 211
- 00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:05,700
- I mean, he's really good,
- but I don't clan.
- 212
- 00:18:06,544 --> 00:18:09,082
- Oh, 'cause you're Parzival,
- 213
- 00:18:09,255 --> 00:18:11,622
- as in the knight
- who found the Holy Grail by himself.
- 214
- 00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:13,381
- What about you, Art3mis?
- 215
- 00:18:13,551 --> 00:18:16,760
- Goddess of the hunt.
- Clans must be killing to sign you up.
- 216
- 00:18:18,389 --> 00:18:20,176
- - Favorite shooter?
- - Excuse me?
- 217
- 00:18:20,349 --> 00:18:22,136
- James Halliday's
- favorite first-person shooter.
- 218
- 00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:23,721
- - What?
- - Oh. GoldenEye.
- 219
- 00:18:23,894 --> 00:18:26,102
- - Playing as?
- - Oddjob. Is this a test?
- 220
- 00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:27,262
- Favorite game variant?
- 221
- 00:18:27,356 --> 00:18:28,938
- Game variant was "slappers only."
- No weapons.
- 222
- 00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:31,100
- I know what "slappers only" means.
- Racer?
- 223
- 00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:33,394
- Turbo. And his favorite food
- was Hot Pockets.
- 224
- 00:18:33,571 --> 00:18:35,153
- Favorite restaurant was Chuck E Cheese.
- 225
- 00:18:35,323 --> 00:18:37,690
- Song was Video Killed the Radio Star
- by the Buggles.
- 226
- 00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:39,483
- Video was Take on Me by A-ha.
- 227
- 00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:43,699
- Oh, oh...
- His favorite quote was from Superman.
- 228
- 00:18:44,373 --> 00:18:45,659
- "Some people can read War and Peace
- 229
- 00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:48,041
- "and come away thinking
- it's a simple adventure story..."
- 230
- 00:18:48,210 --> 00:18:50,827
- "Others can read the ingredients
- on the back of a chewing-gum wrapper
- 231
- 00:18:51,005 --> 00:18:53,372
- "and unlock
- the secrets of the universe."
- 232
- 00:18:54,091 --> 00:18:56,083
- Lex Luthor.
- 233
- 00:18:56,510 --> 00:18:58,001
- Cool.
- 234
- 00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:03,049
- What would you do? If you won.
- The whole contest, I mean.
- 235
- 00:19:03,142 --> 00:19:06,055
- Oh! I mean, I've got tons of plans
- in the real world.
- 236
- 00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:10,973
- I'd move into a huge mansion,
- buy a bunch of cool shit, not be poor.
- 237
- 00:19:12,234 --> 00:19:14,601
- Now I know why you stopped short.
- 238
- 00:19:15,946 --> 00:19:18,939
- I stopped because of Kong.
- No one ever makes it past Kong.
- 239
- 00:19:19,116 --> 00:19:20,903
- That's, like, a rule.
- 240
- 00:19:21,077 --> 00:19:24,536
- Well, then you know it can't be true.
- Because Halliday hated making rules.
- 241
- 00:19:24,705 --> 00:19:25,991
- I can't afford to zero out.
- 242
- 00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:27,531
- - You're afraid to lose your shit.
- - No, I'm not!
- 243
- 00:19:27,708 --> 00:19:29,665
- What happens
- when IOI offers you guaranteed coin
- 244
- 00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:30,996
- for the keys to the kingdom?
- 245
- 00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:33,378
- Nolan Sorrento takes over the world.
- 246
- 00:19:33,547 --> 00:19:37,712
- A real gunter would risk everything
- to save the OASIS from IOI.
- 247
- 00:19:37,885 --> 00:19:39,217
- Who said that?
- 248
- 00:19:39,387 --> 00:19:40,798
- Me.
- 249
- 00:19:43,057 --> 00:19:44,593
- There you go. Good as new.
- 250
- 00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:47,426
- Thanks for the fix-up, my man.
- 251
- 00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:58,732
- That's better.
- 252
- 00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:03,241
- I'll wave to you
- from the finish line, McFly.
- 253
- 00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:07,745
- That went well.
- 254
- 00:20:07,915 --> 00:20:09,622
- Thanks to you, Captain Big Mouth.
- 255
- 00:20:09,792 --> 00:20:13,126
- Wade? Wade?
- Where the hell are my gloves?
- 256
- 00:20:13,295 --> 00:20:15,252
- Shit. I gotta go.
- 257
- 00:20:18,426 --> 00:20:19,416
- X1.
- 258
- 00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:23,049
- When I'm after gold on Planet Doom,
- I need every edge I can get.
- 259
- 00:20:23,347 --> 00:20:27,091
- Every push, punch, gunshot,
- you feel it all.
- 260
- 00:20:27,268 --> 00:20:31,433
- Get ready for the feel,
- the feel of real. X1.
- 261
- 00:20:31,605 --> 00:20:33,847
- The X1 is like wearing a second skin.
- 262
- 00:20:33,941 --> 00:20:35,898
- A skin that kicks ass.
- 263
- 00:20:37,653 --> 00:20:40,396
- I zeroed out 'cause
- of your broke-ass gloves.
- 264
- 00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:41,814
- Who told you to use them?
- 265
- 00:20:41,991 --> 00:20:44,074
- You took hers.
- 266
- 00:20:45,161 --> 00:20:46,493
- So you lost a death match.
- 267
- 00:20:46,662 --> 00:20:50,906
- Why don't you just respawn
- and level up like everyone else?
- 268
- 00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:52,199
- You don't get it.
- 269
- 00:20:52,376 --> 00:20:55,289
- I bought all these power-ups
- for this challenge, and I lost it all.
- 270
- 00:20:55,463 --> 00:20:57,170
- That artifact
- was gonna pay for the house!
- 271
- 00:20:57,339 --> 00:20:58,329
- Wait.
- 272
- 00:20:58,507 --> 00:21:01,921
- How much of our house money
- did you spend on upgrades?
- 273
- 00:21:03,012 --> 00:21:05,755
- Well, all of it, but I was gonna win.
- 274
- 00:21:05,890 --> 00:21:08,758
- That was our ticket out of here.
- 275
- 00:21:11,395 --> 00:21:12,476
- You idiot.
- 276
- 00:21:12,646 --> 00:21:14,763
- No, but I only lost 'cause
- of the bad gloves.
- 277
- 00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:16,522
- Our house! Our goddamn house!
- 278
- 00:21:16,692 --> 00:21:17,853
- My boys were in that challenge.
- 279
- 00:21:18,027 --> 00:21:20,064
- You couldn't have beat them
- in a bootsuit, you noob.
- 280
- 00:21:20,696 --> 00:21:23,689
- Stop! No! No!
- 281
- 00:21:23,866 --> 00:21:24,982
- Alice, call the police!
- 282
- 00:21:25,159 --> 00:21:26,650
- No, we are not calling the cops.
- 283
- 00:21:26,827 --> 00:21:28,534
- Go to your room, Rick.
- 284
- 00:21:28,704 --> 00:21:30,036
- Come on, Alice.
- 285
- 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,374
- Why do you put up with this guy?
- He's a shitshow.
- 286
- 00:21:35,044 --> 00:21:39,459
- I ought to kick the both of you out.
- I swear to G-O-D, Wade Watts,
- 287
- 00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:42,215
- if I catch you touching my stuff again,
- 288
- 00:21:42,384 --> 00:21:44,922
- not joking... Out.
- 289
- 00:21:51,852 --> 00:21:54,014
- "Wade Watts."
- 290
- 00:21:54,188 --> 00:21:55,178
- My dad picked that name
- 291
- 00:21:55,356 --> 00:21:57,598
- because it sounded
- like a superhero's alter ego,
- 292
- 00:21:58,192 --> 00:22:00,809
- like Peter Parker or Bruce Banner.
- 293
- 00:22:01,862 --> 00:22:03,774
- But he died when I was a kid.
- 294
- 00:22:03,948 --> 00:22:06,986
- My mom, too, and I ended up here,
- 295
- 00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:08,866
- living with Aunt Alice
- 296
- 00:22:09,036 --> 00:22:11,403
- and her endless string
- of hard-loving losers.
- 297
- 00:22:14,291 --> 00:22:16,999
- "Halliday hated making rules."
- 298
- 00:22:17,169 --> 00:22:19,752
- Why is that line sticking in my head?
- 299
- 00:22:22,132 --> 00:22:25,045
- Maybe it's 'cause Art3mis said it,
- and she's hot.
- 300
- 00:22:25,678 --> 00:22:27,761
- Maybe it's because she called me out,
- 301
- 00:22:27,930 --> 00:22:30,217
- sitting here
- in my tiny corner of nowhere,
- 302
- 00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:33,683
- protecting my small slice of nothing.
- 303
- 00:22:33,853 --> 00:22:35,936
- Or maybe...
- 304
- 00:22:36,105 --> 00:22:38,438
- Maybe it's because
- that line means something
- 305
- 00:22:38,607 --> 00:22:40,098
- and I missed it.
- 306
- 00:22:43,112 --> 00:22:46,071
- The day the contest was announced,
- the Halliday Journals appeared.
- 307
- 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,029
- He told us to look in his brain.
- This was the next best thing.
- 308
- 00:22:50,202 --> 00:22:53,536
- At first, it was jammed
- with gunters looking for answers.
- 309
- 00:22:53,706 --> 00:22:56,164
- Now, the once-crowded halls
- of Halliday's memories
- 310
- 00:22:56,333 --> 00:22:57,414
- are left to people like me.
- 311
- 00:22:57,585 --> 00:23:00,202
- Parzival. Oh, joy!
- 312
- 00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:03,463
- And how will you eat up
- my valuable search time today?
- 313
- 00:23:03,883 --> 00:23:05,749
- Gregarious Games, 2029... Office party.
- 314
- 00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:09,044
- Office party. Yes, you've only seen it
- a thousand times.
- 315
- 00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:11,133
- Why not go back?
- 316
- 00:23:11,974 --> 00:23:15,513
- Each entry into Halliday's Journals
- is meticulously assembled
- 317
- 00:23:15,686 --> 00:23:18,019
- from personal photographs,
- home video recordings,
- 318
- 00:23:18,188 --> 00:23:19,929
- surveillance, and nanny cams.
- 319
- 00:23:20,107 --> 00:23:23,771
- All rendered into a
- 3-dimensional virtual experience.
- 320
- 00:23:23,944 --> 00:23:27,483
- Also, Halliday archived every film,
- game, book, and television program
- 321
- 00:23:27,615 --> 00:23:30,528
- he ever saw, located on the mezzanine.
- 322
- 00:23:30,951 --> 00:23:34,365
- No weapons or mature-themed avatars
- are permitted within the Journals.
- 323
- 00:23:34,538 --> 00:23:37,827
- Please enjoy your time with us,
- and happy gunting!
- 324
- 00:23:38,334 --> 00:23:39,996
- I like cleaning up.
- 325
- 00:23:40,169 --> 00:23:42,536
- Okay, Jim, I'm going.
- 326
- 00:23:47,509 --> 00:23:49,922
- Everything changes, Jim.
- Everything evolves.
- 327
- 00:23:50,471 --> 00:23:53,680
- Some things are perfect
- just the way they are. Asteroids.
- 328
- 00:23:53,849 --> 00:23:57,843
- People don't live inside
- an Asteroids arcade cabinet.
- 329
- 00:23:59,229 --> 00:24:00,436
- I know that.
- 330
- 00:24:00,606 --> 00:24:03,144
- Yeah, well, people are living inside
- the arcade we built.
- 331
- 00:24:03,317 --> 00:24:05,183
- - I built.
- - Uh, well...
- 332
- 00:24:05,486 --> 00:24:08,024
- Right. Well, I guess you can say
- whatever you want.
- 333
- 00:24:08,197 --> 00:24:09,233
- I don't really wanna
- talk about it anymore.
- 334
- 00:24:09,406 --> 00:24:10,738
- No, of course
- you don't wanna talk about it.
- 335
- 00:24:10,908 --> 00:24:11,898
- You're forcing me out.
- 336
- 00:24:12,326 --> 00:24:13,362
- Closer on Halliday.
- 337
- 00:24:13,786 --> 00:24:15,573
- Look, invention
- comes with responsibilities
- 338
- 00:24:15,746 --> 00:24:17,237
- you didn't ask for.
- 339
- 00:24:17,915 --> 00:24:19,952
- All right, if you make something
- people want or need
- 340
- 00:24:20,125 --> 00:24:22,742
- then it's up to you to set the limits.
- You have to make some rules.
- 341
- 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,206
- "I don't wanna make any more rules."
- 342
- 00:24:24,505 --> 00:24:26,246
- I don't wanna make any more rules.
- 343
- 00:24:26,340 --> 00:24:27,376
- "I'm a dreamer."
- 344
- 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,790
- I'm a dreamer.
- 345
- 00:24:29,093 --> 00:24:30,880
- - I build worlds.
- - "I build worlds."
- 346
- 00:24:32,012 --> 00:24:34,629
- We created something beautiful, Jim,
- but it's changed.
- 347
- 00:24:34,807 --> 00:24:36,264
- Okay? It's really not a game anymore.
- 348
- 00:24:36,433 --> 00:24:37,765
- Are we finished?
- 349
- 00:24:38,060 --> 00:24:42,521
- I liked how things were
- when they were...
- 350
- 00:24:44,024 --> 00:24:45,105
- When it was a game.
- 351
- 00:24:45,275 --> 00:24:48,814
- And we're back to where we started.
- But that's the point, isn't it?
- 352
- 00:24:48,988 --> 00:24:51,196
- Things move forward
- whether you like it or not.
- 353
- 00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:53,527
- Yeah, we're finished.
- 354
- 00:24:53,617 --> 00:24:55,233
- Fine.
- 355
- 00:24:57,496 --> 00:25:01,240
- Why can't we go backwards,
- for once?
- 356
- 00:25:03,627 --> 00:25:07,291
- Backwards, really fast.
- Fast as we can.
- 357
- 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,752
- Really put the pedal to the metal,
- you know?
- 358
- 00:25:09,925 --> 00:25:12,133
- Go back 10 seconds!
- 359
- 00:25:12,636 --> 00:25:16,380
- Why can't we go backwards, for once?
- 360
- 00:25:17,266 --> 00:25:21,180
- Backwards, really fast.
- Fast as we can.
- 361
- 00:25:21,687 --> 00:25:24,395
- Really put the pedal to the metal,
- you know?
- 362
- 00:25:25,482 --> 00:25:26,939
- Bill and Ted did it.
- 363
- 00:25:48,589 --> 00:25:50,581
- Back again so soon?
- 364
- 00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:54,334
- Careful not to lose your shit.
- 365
- 00:25:58,432 --> 00:26:00,139
- You figured something out.
- 366
- 00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:02,971
- Parzival, tell me.
- 367
- 00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:47,034
- Nice racing, Padawan.
- You're the first to finish.
- 368
- 00:27:47,958 --> 00:27:52,419
- Mr. Halliday... Anorak.
- 369
- 00:27:53,839 --> 00:27:55,080
- It's such an honor.
- 370
- 00:27:55,382 --> 00:27:57,624
- The honor is all mine.
- 371
- 00:28:08,770 --> 00:28:10,511
- Get yourself a clue.
- 372
- 00:28:25,078 --> 00:28:28,537
- Who is this Parzival,
- and how the hell is he winning?
- 373
- 00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:31,165
- Well, here's a better question.
- Who cares?
- 374
- 00:28:31,335 --> 00:28:33,167
- Halliday's contest is vitally important.
- 375
- 00:28:33,337 --> 00:28:36,375
- I mean, it's nothing less than a war
- for control of the future.
- 376
- 00:28:36,548 --> 00:28:39,586
- But this Parzival?
- He's not even clanned up.
- 377
- 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,924
- He's alone. We have an army.
- 378
- 00:28:43,096 --> 00:28:44,678
- And yet,
- he's got the first key.
- 379
- 00:28:44,848 --> 00:28:46,259
- Yeah, he has a key,
- 380
- 00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:49,551
- but you have to get 3 of 'em
- to win the contest.
- 381
- 00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:52,220
- Our stock dove 6% yesterday.
- 382
- 00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:56,186
- Loyalty division is reporting
- profits of 28%. F'Nale.
- 383
- 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,023
- We're opening
- 5 new loyalty centers this month.
- 384
- 00:28:59,196 --> 00:29:01,062
- Debt Services dwarfs Hardware.
- 385
- 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,106
- Now, you really wanna talk to me
- about stock prices?
- 386
- 00:29:03,283 --> 00:29:04,399
- The shareholders won't be happy.
- 387
- 00:29:04,576 --> 00:29:07,819
- It's not our job to make them happy.
- It's our job to make them money,
- 388
- 00:29:07,996 --> 00:29:12,036
- but once we launch this little baby,
- they're gonna flip.
- 389
- 00:29:13,377 --> 00:29:16,415
- We call this Pure O2.
- 390
- 00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:18,250
- This is the first
- of our planned upgrades.
- 391
- 00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:20,915
- Once we can roll back
- some of Halliday's ad restrictions,
- 392
- 00:29:21,093 --> 00:29:24,962
- we estimate we can sell up to 80%
- 393
- 00:29:25,138 --> 00:29:30,384
- of an individual's visual field before
- inducing seizures, so picture this...
- 394
- 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,553
- All of this implies we win the contest.
- 395
- 00:29:36,525 --> 00:29:38,608
- Indeed, it does.
- 396
- 00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:43,147
- Dude, you won the key and 100,000 coins?
- 397
- 00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:44,318
- As soon as I took the key,
- 398
- 00:29:44,408 --> 00:29:45,774
- all the coins
- just appeared in my account.
- 399
- 00:29:45,951 --> 00:29:48,944
- I'll tell you what,
- I'm soiling my haptics right now.
- 400
- 00:29:52,624 --> 00:29:54,240
- What the hell's a Cataclyst?
- 401
- 00:29:54,418 --> 00:29:58,002
- A bomb. Kills every avatar on a planet,
- even the owner.
- 402
- 00:29:58,171 --> 00:29:59,161
- Who'd want that?
- 403
- 00:29:59,339 --> 00:30:01,422
- IOI. They buy everything.
- 404
- 00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:05,418
- 20-thou for the holy hand grenade?
- 405
- 00:30:05,595 --> 00:30:07,257
- That's a steal!
- 406
- 00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:13,263
- Whoa! Zemeckis Cube!
- I need one of those.
- 407
- 00:30:13,437 --> 00:30:15,099
- Okay, don't spend all your money.
- 408
- 00:30:18,775 --> 00:30:21,062
- X1 haptic bootsuit.
- 409
- 00:30:35,709 --> 00:30:37,120
- Oh, yeah!
- 410
- 00:31:30,180 --> 00:31:33,298
- i-R0k, old friend. How are you?
- 411
- 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,051
- To be honest,
- I have kind of a neck thing.
- 412
- 00:31:37,229 --> 00:31:39,016
- It's like a carpel-tunnel deal
- 413
- 00:31:39,189 --> 00:31:40,896
- but with your neck,
- if that's even a thing.
- 414
- 00:31:41,066 --> 00:31:43,524
- So if you could just stand
- to your right.
- 415
- 00:31:43,693 --> 00:31:44,900
- My right, your left.
- 416
- 00:31:46,822 --> 00:31:50,111
- Thanks, it's the repetitive stress.
- Oh.
- 417
- 00:31:51,243 --> 00:31:52,324
- Here he is.
- 418
- 00:31:54,454 --> 00:31:58,789
- The steampunk pirate king.
- I knew him well, Sorrento.
- 419
- 00:31:59,459 --> 00:32:01,667
- There are only 3 things
- in this world I hate,
- 420
- 00:32:01,837 --> 00:32:05,626
- steampunk, pirates, and tabbouleh.
- 421
- 00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:08,462
- I mean, why do they even have it?
- 422
- 00:32:08,635 --> 00:32:10,627
- Is there a reason we're meeting here?
- 423
- 00:32:11,346 --> 00:32:15,886
- Yes, Nolan. The Orb of Osuvox.
- 424
- 00:32:16,601 --> 00:32:19,890
- You wanted it. He had it.
- And so here it is.
- 425
- 00:32:23,733 --> 00:32:27,522
- It creates an impenetrable magic shield
- that can only be taken down
- 426
- 00:32:27,696 --> 00:32:29,904
- by a magic spell.
- 427
- 00:32:30,073 --> 00:32:32,315
- The Orb of Osuvox.
- 428
- 00:32:32,492 --> 00:32:33,733
- Don't say that again.
- 429
- 00:32:33,910 --> 00:32:34,946
- Okay.
- 430
- 00:32:37,164 --> 00:32:40,703
- Now, I'm gonna need you
- to keep this for now.
- 431
- 00:32:40,876 --> 00:32:42,708
- I'm gonna let you know
- when I wanna use it.
- 432
- 00:32:43,128 --> 00:32:44,118
- Okay?
- 433
- 00:32:47,466 --> 00:32:51,506
- Right now, though,
- I have another job for you.
- 434
- 00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:52,877
- Ah.
- 435
- 00:32:52,971 --> 00:32:54,178
- Parzival.
- 436
- 00:32:54,890 --> 00:32:57,803
- Let me guess,
- you want him off the scoreboard.
- 437
- 00:32:58,685 --> 00:33:00,017
- Can you do that?
- 438
- 00:33:00,187 --> 00:33:02,554
- Well, he's a superstar.
- 439
- 00:33:02,731 --> 00:33:04,222
- He made it through the first gate
- 440
- 00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:07,016
- and avatars are gonna be on him
- like hoes on Santa.
- 441
- 00:33:07,194 --> 00:33:09,607
- i-R0k, how much more do you want?
- 442
- 00:33:10,447 --> 00:33:13,485
- That's what I like about you, Nolan.
- You never lick.
- 443
- 00:33:14,075 --> 00:33:15,941
- You bite straight
- to the chocolaty center
- 444
- 00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:17,860
- of the Tootsie Pop.
- 445
- 00:33:18,246 --> 00:33:20,488
- Remember that old commercial,
- with the owl?
- 446
- 00:33:20,665 --> 00:33:21,655
- i-R0k.
- 447
- 00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:25,034
- 3 times my normal fee.
- 448
- 00:33:25,462 --> 00:33:26,919
- Done.
- 449
- 00:33:27,088 --> 00:33:28,795
- Wait, really?
- I should have asked for 5.
- 450
- 00:33:28,965 --> 00:33:30,877
- Is 4 still on the table?
- 451
- 00:33:33,178 --> 00:33:35,591
- There's 5 of us
- on the big board now.
- 452
- 00:33:36,181 --> 00:33:38,798
- Art3mis was next, no surprise there.
- 453
- 00:33:38,975 --> 00:33:41,718
- She was on the track when I won.
- She saw me going backwards.
- 454
- 00:33:42,312 --> 00:33:46,682
- I gave Aech a tip, made him promise not
- to say anything, and then he won next.
- 455
- 00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:49,851
- I'm pretty sure
- he bragged to our pal Daito,
- 456
- 00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:52,020
- 'cause he won right after.
- 457
- 00:33:52,739 --> 00:33:56,198
- And of course,
- Daito told his best friend, Sho...
- 458
- 00:33:56,368 --> 00:33:58,325
- He totally totaled his car,
- 459
- 00:33:58,495 --> 00:34:00,578
- but then Sho got it, too.
- 460
- 00:34:09,631 --> 00:34:11,338
- "A creator who hates his own creation.
- 461
- 00:34:11,633 --> 00:34:15,968
- "A hidden key, a leap not taken.
- Retrace your steps, escape your past."
- 462
- 00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:18,926
- "A creator who hates his own creation.
- 463
- 00:34:19,099 --> 00:34:23,389
- "A hidden key, a leap not taken.
- Retrace your steps, escape your past.
- 464
- 00:34:23,562 --> 00:34:25,929
- "And the key of jade
- will be yours at last."
- 465
- 00:35:07,856 --> 00:35:09,768
- "Escape your past."
- 466
- 00:35:13,486 --> 00:35:16,399
- What part of your past
- are you trying to escape, Halliday?
- 467
- 00:35:28,293 --> 00:35:29,909
- - Hey, it's Parzival!
- - Dude!
- 468
- 00:35:31,504 --> 00:35:32,870
- You're, like, totally my hero!
- 469
- 00:35:33,048 --> 00:35:34,038
- Hey, Parzival! Over here!
- 470
- 00:35:34,215 --> 00:35:35,456
- Dude, you're amazing!
- 471
- 00:35:36,343 --> 00:35:38,335
- Hey, Parzival! Right here!
- Let me get an autograph!
- 472
- 00:35:44,434 --> 00:35:45,470
- Watch it!
- 473
- 00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:50,230
- You're famous now!
- You can't just go wherever you want!
- 474
- 00:35:50,398 --> 00:35:51,514
- No, no, no, I...
- 475
- 00:35:56,446 --> 00:35:58,529
- Huh?
- 476
- 00:36:02,077 --> 00:36:04,410
- Ahh!
- 477
- 00:36:10,543 --> 00:36:14,583
- That is... That is not funny.
- 478
- 00:36:14,756 --> 00:36:17,169
- Oh, God.
- 479
- 00:36:17,425 --> 00:36:19,166
- Ugh.
- 480
- 00:36:20,053 --> 00:36:22,295
- Oh, God. Don't you get it?
- 481
- 00:36:22,847 --> 00:36:25,180
- You're "the Parzival" now.
- 482
- 00:36:25,350 --> 00:36:26,761
- You have to have a disguise.
- 483
- 00:36:29,104 --> 00:36:30,686
- Okay, here.
- 484
- 00:36:31,981 --> 00:36:33,188
- Clark Kent glasses.
- 485
- 00:36:33,358 --> 00:36:35,896
- They hide your identity
- without changing your look.
- 486
- 00:36:44,703 --> 00:36:46,160
- I'm not wearing that.
- 487
- 00:36:55,839 --> 00:36:57,125
- This is great.
- 488
- 00:36:58,466 --> 00:37:00,253
- The way your inventory
- bursts out when you die.
- 489
- 00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:01,838
- They didn't want
- any more blood.
- 490
- 00:37:02,011 --> 00:37:03,673
- This is right before
- the OASIS went live.
- 491
- 00:37:03,847 --> 00:37:07,261
- 6 days prior. December 2nd, 2025.
- 492
- 00:37:07,434 --> 00:37:09,300
- Check this out.
- 493
- 00:37:09,477 --> 00:37:11,059
- You know who that is?
- 494
- 00:37:12,731 --> 00:37:14,188
- Is that Sorrento?
- 495
- 00:37:14,482 --> 00:37:16,269
- Sorrento started as an intern.
- 496
- 00:37:16,443 --> 00:37:18,730
- He claims he learned
- at the feet of the master.
- 497
- 00:37:18,903 --> 00:37:21,441
- That's how he convinced IOI
- to create the Sixers for him,
- 498
- 00:37:21,614 --> 00:37:22,775
- his Halliday knowledge.
- 499
- 00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:25,316
- But ask Ogden Morrow?
- 500
- 00:37:25,493 --> 00:37:29,487
- He says the only thing Sorrento
- actually knew about Halliday
- 501
- 00:37:29,664 --> 00:37:31,030
- was how he liked his coffee.
- 502
- 00:37:31,207 --> 00:37:33,665
- You could have, like,
- different tiers of accounts,
- 503
- 00:37:33,835 --> 00:37:35,292
- like a gold member.
- 504
- 00:37:35,462 --> 00:37:38,955
- A person could be
- silver, platinum, bronze.
- 505
- 00:37:39,132 --> 00:37:40,873
- You know, depending on what they pay.
- 506
- 00:37:41,050 --> 00:37:43,918
- Highest one maybe being "Water"
- because "OASIS," right?
- 507
- 00:37:44,095 --> 00:37:45,631
- Hell of a latte.
- 508
- 00:37:45,805 --> 00:37:47,922
- Can you fast-forward to the stuff
- about Halliday's date?
- 509
- 00:37:48,099 --> 00:37:49,840
- What? Halliday actually went on a date?
- 510
- 00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:55,266
- So, what happened?
- 511
- 00:37:55,690 --> 00:37:57,932
- Nothing. I invited her over.
- 512
- 00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:00,980
- Well, did you at least get her name?
- 513
- 00:38:01,571 --> 00:38:05,110
- Yeah. Kira, I told you,
- like the character in The Dark Crystal.
- 514
- 00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:07,024
- That's her gamer tag.
- 515
- 00:38:09,162 --> 00:38:10,152
- - Karen.
- - Karen.
- 516
- 00:38:10,330 --> 00:38:12,242
- Yeah, okay? Karen Underwood.
- 517
- 00:38:12,665 --> 00:38:16,124
- No, no. Karen Underwood,
- as in Ogden Morrow's wife?
- 518
- 00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:17,535
- Just watch.
- 519
- 00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:21,755
- So, listen, you and Karen Underwood.
- What'd you do?
- 520
- 00:38:22,050 --> 00:38:24,337
- She wanted to go dancing,
- 521
- 00:38:24,511 --> 00:38:26,798
- so we watched a movie.
- 522
- 00:38:28,097 --> 00:38:29,258
- And?
- 523
- 00:38:31,267 --> 00:38:32,929
- Where's the juice?
- 524
- 00:38:33,102 --> 00:38:35,219
- Give me some juice!
- 525
- 00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:38,021
- - There is no juice!
- - Oh, God!
- 526
- 00:38:38,691 --> 00:38:40,182
- Hold the phone.
- 527
- 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,070
- Halliday went on a date
- with Ogden Morrow's wife?
- 528
- 00:38:44,489 --> 00:38:47,732
- Just once, years before
- they were even married, but yeah.
- 529
- 00:38:47,909 --> 00:38:50,117
- And despite that,
- and the fact that she died,
- 530
- 00:38:50,286 --> 00:38:53,404
- the name "Kira" is only mentioned once
- in all of Halliday's Journals.
- 531
- 00:38:53,581 --> 00:38:54,742
- That's not possible.
- 532
- 00:38:54,916 --> 00:38:56,623
- It is. Look it up.
- 533
- 00:38:56,793 --> 00:38:59,080
- What we just saw is the only time
- she's ever mentioned.
- 534
- 00:38:59,254 --> 00:39:00,370
- It makes no sense.
- 535
- 00:39:00,672 --> 00:39:02,959
- She was an important part
- of both their lives.
- 536
- 00:39:03,132 --> 00:39:04,998
- I'll bet you anything. All my coin.
- 537
- 00:39:06,886 --> 00:39:09,503
- Search "Karen Underwood Morrow."
- 538
- 00:39:10,765 --> 00:39:13,758
- Kira, I told you,
- like the character in The Dark Crystal.
- 539
- 00:39:13,935 --> 00:39:15,301
- That's her gamer tag.
- 540
- 00:39:15,603 --> 00:39:18,687
- Halliday purposely removed every
- mention of her except for this one.
- 541
- 00:39:18,857 --> 00:39:20,314
- That's weird. Why?
- 542
- 00:39:20,483 --> 00:39:22,315
- It's like,
- it was just so painful for him
- 543
- 00:39:22,485 --> 00:39:25,444
- to have to see her face
- or hear her name.
- 544
- 00:39:25,613 --> 00:39:27,320
- Well, he loved her.
- 545
- 00:39:27,490 --> 00:39:28,856
- He couldn't tell that to Morrow.
- 546
- 00:39:29,033 --> 00:39:30,865
- Oh, that's sad.
- He should have told her how he felt.
- 547
- 00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:32,116
- Yeah, well, he missed his chance.
- 548
- 00:39:32,537 --> 00:39:33,527
- Look.
- 549
- 00:39:34,664 --> 00:39:37,702
- I found the clue to
- the race in the other scene, but...
- 550
- 00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:39,287
- I've always felt
- that the biggest clue
- 551
- 00:39:39,460 --> 00:39:40,917
- to the contest was hidden here.
- 552
- 00:39:41,337 --> 00:39:43,044
- You're right.
- 553
- 00:39:44,173 --> 00:39:45,755
- I lose.
- 554
- 00:39:46,175 --> 00:39:47,416
- Don't sweat it, Curator.
- 555
- 00:39:47,594 --> 00:39:50,302
- You see, Kira is the Rosebud
- at the center of his story.
- 556
- 00:39:50,471 --> 00:39:51,507
- She's the big mystery.
- 557
- 00:39:51,681 --> 00:39:53,968
- No, no. A bet is a bet.
- 558
- 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,428
- Oh, wow. A quarter. You can keep it.
- 559
- 00:39:58,605 --> 00:40:00,688
- No. You can keep it.
- 560
- 00:40:04,068 --> 00:40:06,355
- - You free Thursday?
- - Who, me?
- 561
- 00:40:07,155 --> 00:40:08,862
- No, him.
- 562
- 00:40:10,116 --> 00:40:11,903
- Oh, my God. Yes, you!
- 563
- 00:40:14,245 --> 00:40:15,827
- You know The Distracted Globe?
- 564
- 00:40:15,997 --> 00:40:18,034
- Yeah, the dance club.
- 565
- 00:40:20,043 --> 00:40:22,706
- Meet me there. 10:00 p.m.
- 566
- 00:40:22,879 --> 00:40:25,087
- There's something I wanna show you.
- 567
- 00:40:25,924 --> 00:40:27,415
- Uh, bye-bye!
- 568
- 00:40:28,551 --> 00:40:30,167
- Did she just ask me out?
- 569
- 00:40:30,345 --> 00:40:32,052
- And I was starting to like her.
- 570
- 00:40:32,221 --> 00:40:33,883
- All right.
- 571
- 00:40:34,057 --> 00:40:35,548
- I don't do that.
- 572
- 00:40:39,187 --> 00:40:41,099
- Z, I can't believe
- you told her about Kira.
- 573
- 00:40:41,272 --> 00:40:43,639
- What? I told you.
- 574
- 00:40:43,816 --> 00:40:46,103
- Hey, what about this?
- 575
- 00:40:47,737 --> 00:40:50,445
- No. Have you considered
- that Art3mis could be using you?
- 576
- 00:40:50,615 --> 00:40:54,529
- Hey, dude, she's giving me a clue.
- Maybe I'm the one using her.
- 577
- 00:40:55,078 --> 00:40:58,367
- Should I go more Thriller?
- 578
- 00:40:58,665 --> 00:41:00,031
- No.
- 579
- 00:41:00,833 --> 00:41:01,823
- Punk?
- 580
- 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:02,950
- No.
- 581
- 00:41:05,046 --> 00:41:06,162
- Duran Duran.
- 582
- 00:41:06,422 --> 00:41:07,412
- No.
- 583
- 00:41:08,257 --> 00:41:09,247
- Does it look like I'm trying too hard?
- 584
- 00:41:09,425 --> 00:41:12,509
- Yes! Listen to yourself!
- 585
- 00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:15,672
- You have a massive cyber crush
- on this girl.
- 586
- 00:41:15,848 --> 00:41:18,340
- She's hacking your heart
- to get to your head.
- 587
- 00:41:19,936 --> 00:41:21,723
- I got it!
- 588
- 00:41:22,939 --> 00:41:24,805
- - Buckaroo Banzai?
- - Yeah!
- 589
- 00:41:24,983 --> 00:41:28,067
- Really? You're gonna wear the outfit
- from your favorite movie?
- 590
- 00:41:28,236 --> 00:41:29,443
- Don't be that guy.
- 591
- 00:41:29,612 --> 00:41:30,648
- I am that guy.
- 592
- 00:41:30,822 --> 00:41:33,235
- Z, you gotta be more careful about
- who you meet in the OASIS.
- 593
- 00:41:33,408 --> 00:41:36,526
- Aech, Art3mis gets me.
- She'll get my outfit.
- 594
- 00:41:36,703 --> 00:41:39,537
- There's just this connection.
- I mean, sometimes, we even...
- 595
- 00:41:39,706 --> 00:41:41,242
- - Finish each other's sentences?
- - Yeah!
- 596
- 00:41:41,416 --> 00:41:44,159
- We have that. Me and you.
- 597
- 00:41:44,335 --> 00:41:47,703
- Yeah, I know, but that's because
- we're best friends, dude.
- 598
- 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,667
- She could be a dude, too, dude.
- 599
- 00:41:49,841 --> 00:41:50,831
- Come on.
- 600
- 00:41:51,009 --> 00:41:52,545
- I'm serious!
- 601
- 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,336
- She could actually be a 300-pound dude
- 602
- 00:41:55,513 --> 00:41:57,880
- who lives in his mama's basement
- in suburban Detroit.
- 603
- 00:41:58,683 --> 00:42:00,515
- And her name is Chuck.
- 604
- 00:42:02,228 --> 00:42:04,060
- Think about that.
- 605
- 00:42:34,052 --> 00:42:35,168
- Whoa, dude, is that Parzival?
- 606
- 00:42:35,386 --> 00:42:37,002
- - Parzival!
- - Oh, my God, Parzival!
- 607
- 00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:39,763
- Come here, man. Hey, can we get a photo?
- 608
- 00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:44,597
- - Thank you so much!
- - Dude, you're my hero!
- 609
- 00:42:44,771 --> 00:42:46,057
- Hey, Parzival.
- 610
- 00:42:48,357 --> 00:42:50,189
- Thank you.
- 611
- 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,953
- Get out of town! Buckaroo Banzai?
- 612
- 00:43:07,126 --> 00:43:09,288
- - Huh?
- - I like it. I like Buckaroo Banzai.
- 613
- 00:43:09,462 --> 00:43:10,953
- - Oh, thanks!
- - It's great!
- 614
- 00:43:11,130 --> 00:43:12,837
- - Yeah! You look...
- - Oh.
- 615
- 00:43:12,924 --> 00:43:14,256
- You look awesome!
- 616
- 00:43:14,425 --> 00:43:15,541
- - Thank you.
- - Wow.
- 617
- 00:43:17,345 --> 00:43:19,052
- A big one, a small one?
- 618
- 00:43:19,222 --> 00:43:20,338
- A big one!
- 619
- 00:43:35,613 --> 00:43:37,570
- Get out of here.
- 620
- 00:43:39,283 --> 00:43:41,024
- - What a freak!
- - I thought he was kind of cute.
- 621
- 00:43:41,202 --> 00:43:42,568
- Have you been here before?
- 622
- 00:43:42,745 --> 00:43:44,361
- It's cool, right? I mean...
- 623
- 00:43:44,455 --> 00:43:46,663
- So, what's the plan?
- 624
- 00:43:46,833 --> 00:43:49,120
- Are you gonna kill their avatars?
- Zero them out?
- 625
- 00:43:49,293 --> 00:43:51,250
- They're both here
- at The Distracted Globe.
- 626
- 00:43:51,420 --> 00:43:52,752
- I can't talk.
- 627
- 00:43:53,881 --> 00:43:55,622
- The Distracted Globe
- was one of the first clubs
- 628
- 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:56,881
- Halliday created in the OASIS.
- 629
- 00:43:57,051 --> 00:43:58,383
- That's common knowledge.
- 630
- 00:43:58,553 --> 00:44:00,010
- But I double-checked
- 631
- 00:44:00,179 --> 00:44:03,172
- and it turns out he started building it
- right after that moment you showed me.
- 632
- 00:44:03,349 --> 00:44:04,339
- The date with Kira.
- 633
- 00:44:04,517 --> 00:44:06,554
- Right, and she was a serious dancer.
- 634
- 00:44:06,727 --> 00:44:08,639
- Maybe he thought he'd take her here,
- 635
- 00:44:08,813 --> 00:44:11,021
- like on a virtual date.
- 636
- 00:44:11,649 --> 00:44:12,810
- As if that ever works.
- 637
- 00:44:13,526 --> 00:44:14,642
- So Halliday built it for her?
- 638
- 00:44:14,819 --> 00:44:16,185
- But they never made it
- past the first date.
- 639
- 00:44:16,362 --> 00:44:17,648
- So Halliday's the creator...
- 640
- 00:44:17,822 --> 00:44:18,812
- Who hates his own creation.
- 641
- 00:44:18,906 --> 00:44:20,113
- And the club is the thing he hates.
- 642
- 00:44:20,283 --> 00:44:22,775
- And "A hidden key, a leap not taken"?
- 643
- 00:44:26,247 --> 00:44:27,488
- But people jump off it all night long.
- 644
- 00:44:27,665 --> 00:44:29,497
- But none of those people
- had the Copper Key,
- 645
- 00:44:29,667 --> 00:44:33,206
- so when we jump off,
- maybe it's different. Right?
- 646
- 00:44:33,296 --> 00:44:34,286
- Right.
- 647
- 00:44:37,175 --> 00:44:38,461
- So we take it together?
- 648
- 00:44:38,634 --> 00:44:39,795
- Sure.
- 649
- 00:44:41,804 --> 00:44:43,761
- We're not clanning up or anything.
- 650
- 00:44:43,931 --> 00:44:46,969
- Of course not. I don't clan.
- 651
- 00:44:48,102 --> 00:44:49,092
- Wait...
- 652
- 00:44:49,270 --> 00:44:50,556
- Whoa!
- 653
- 00:44:51,981 --> 00:44:53,643
- Ow! Whoa.
- 654
- 00:44:58,154 --> 00:45:01,773
- I don't think this is it.
- No scoreboard, no obstacles.
- 655
- 00:45:01,949 --> 00:45:04,566
- - Maybe a dance challenge?
- - Whoa!
- 656
- 00:45:20,092 --> 00:45:22,049
- Old-school!
- 657
- 00:45:45,451 --> 00:45:46,612
- You come prepared?
- 658
- 00:45:46,786 --> 00:45:47,993
- "Prepared"?
- 659
- 00:45:51,624 --> 00:45:54,037
- What kind of haptics you rockin'?
- 660
- 00:45:54,210 --> 00:45:56,543
- You got the gloves
- and full visor, or a full body?
- 661
- 00:46:00,633 --> 00:46:02,044
- Can you feel this?
- 662
- 00:46:05,096 --> 00:46:06,337
- Um, yeah.
- 663
- 00:46:06,514 --> 00:46:09,882
- I got the X1 haptic bootsuit
- with the microfiber crotch inlay.
- 664
- 00:46:22,321 --> 00:46:25,234
- My, Parzival, you did come prepared.
- 665
- 00:46:28,619 --> 00:46:31,282
- So, I've been thinking.
- 666
- 00:46:32,206 --> 00:46:34,664
- Maybe it'd be cool if
- we met up in the real world.
- 667
- 00:46:34,834 --> 00:46:36,245
- No, you'd be disappointed.
- 668
- 00:46:36,419 --> 00:46:38,877
- No, I wouldn't. I like you.
- 669
- 00:46:39,046 --> 00:46:41,129
- You don't even know me.
- 670
- 00:46:41,299 --> 00:46:42,961
- This isn't what I really look like.
- 671
- 00:46:43,134 --> 00:46:46,969
- This isn't my real body,
- or my real face.
- 672
- 00:46:47,138 --> 00:46:48,674
- I don't care.
- 673
- 00:46:48,848 --> 00:46:50,055
- I wanna know your real name.
- 674
- 00:47:03,654 --> 00:47:05,111
- - My name's Wade.
- - What?
- 675
- 00:47:06,657 --> 00:47:08,444
- - I said my name's...
- - Stop!
- 676
- 00:47:08,617 --> 00:47:11,325
- Well, Buckaroo blows it. Shocking.
- 677
- 00:47:11,495 --> 00:47:13,953
- Are you crazy?
- You don't tell anyone who you are.
- 678
- 00:47:14,123 --> 00:47:15,455
- You can't use your real name.
- 679
- 00:47:15,624 --> 00:47:16,705
- You're not just anyone.
- 680
- 00:47:16,876 --> 00:47:17,957
- You don't know me.
- 681
- 00:47:18,127 --> 00:47:19,743
- You don't know anything about me.
- We've never met.
- 682
- 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,661
- I do know you, Arty.
- 683
- 00:47:23,466 --> 00:47:24,957
- I'm in love with you.
- 684
- 00:47:33,517 --> 00:47:34,849
- - Is this part of the challenge?
- - No.
- 685
- 00:47:35,895 --> 00:47:37,056
- It's an ambush.
- 686
- 00:47:44,570 --> 00:47:46,687
- IOI, always in the way.
- 687
- 00:47:47,323 --> 00:47:48,985
- Did you hear what I said?
- I said I'm in love with you.
- 688
- 00:47:49,158 --> 00:47:50,524
- No, you're not.
- 689
- 00:47:52,119 --> 00:47:53,576
- You only know what I want you to know.
- 690
- 00:47:53,746 --> 00:47:55,578
- You only see what I want you to see.
- 691
- 00:47:58,542 --> 00:48:00,329
- That's what you're in love with.
- 692
- 00:48:14,225 --> 00:48:15,341
- Watch out!
- 693
- 00:48:25,611 --> 00:48:27,022
- Pull.
- 694
- 00:48:39,667 --> 00:48:42,705
- Head back! Z! Your armor is running low.
- 695
- 00:48:42,878 --> 00:48:43,994
- I just bought this.
- 696
- 00:48:52,096 --> 00:48:53,212
- Zemeckis Cube.
- 697
- 00:48:53,389 --> 00:48:55,221
- Turns everything
- back in time 60 seconds.
- 698
- 00:48:59,854 --> 00:49:01,846
- And you waited until now to use it?
- 699
- 00:49:09,989 --> 00:49:12,106
- Wow, you were amazing.
- 700
- 00:49:15,286 --> 00:49:17,448
- This isn't a game, Z.
- 701
- 00:49:18,789 --> 00:49:20,576
- I'm doing this to stop IOI.
- 702
- 00:49:20,749 --> 00:49:23,082
- I'm talking
- about real-world consequences.
- 703
- 00:49:23,252 --> 00:49:24,663
- People suffering.
- 704
- 00:49:24,837 --> 00:49:26,044
- - Actual life-and-death stuff.
- - I know. I know...
- 705
- 00:49:26,213 --> 00:49:30,674
- No, you don't know!
- My dad died in a loyalty center.
- 706
- 00:49:31,635 --> 00:49:34,343
- - He borrowed gear.
- - He built up debt.
- 707
- 00:49:34,805 --> 00:49:38,139
- He moved in with the promise of
- working it off, but he never did.
- 708
- 00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:40,016
- IOI just raised his living expenses,
- 709
- 00:49:40,186 --> 00:49:41,597
- then he got sick,
- and he couldn't afford to get out.
- 710
- 00:49:41,770 --> 00:49:43,477
- And then he died!
- 711
- 00:49:44,273 --> 00:49:45,263
- I'm so sorry, I didn't...
- 712
- 00:49:45,441 --> 00:49:47,558
- No, you don't live in the real world, Z.
- 713
- 00:49:47,735 --> 00:49:50,478
- From what you've told me,
- I don't think you ever have.
- 714
- 00:49:50,821 --> 00:49:54,235
- You live inside this... This illusion,
- 715
- 00:49:54,408 --> 00:49:56,400
- and I can't afford
- to let you distract me.
- 716
- 00:50:09,173 --> 00:50:11,335
- How the hell did they get away?
- 717
- 00:50:11,425 --> 00:50:13,542
- Do you want the long version?
- Your guys suck.
- 718
- 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,255
- They failed to kill his avatar,
- 719
- 00:50:15,429 --> 00:50:17,512
- which, if we're offering
- constructive criticism,
- 720
- 00:50:17,681 --> 00:50:20,344
- was a lame idea
- and only would've slowed him down.
- 721
- 00:50:20,518 --> 00:50:24,683
- Whereas my plan, which was cool
- because I rock, actually worked.
- 722
- 00:50:24,855 --> 00:50:26,266
- He's still on the board.
- 723
- 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,979
- I know that, Nolan.
- But he won't be for long.
- 724
- 00:50:30,152 --> 00:50:31,939
- I did a search for all the Wades
- 725
- 00:50:32,112 --> 00:50:34,149
- who had recently bought an X1 bootsuit,
- 726
- 00:50:34,323 --> 00:50:37,361
- cross-referenced that
- with public records, and voila,
- 727
- 00:50:37,535 --> 00:50:41,529
- which is French for...
- "And then I found out."
- 728
- 00:50:42,164 --> 00:50:43,325
- Ready?
- 729
- 00:50:43,499 --> 00:50:48,164
- The real-world identity of Parzival
- is Wade Watts.
- 730
- 00:50:48,963 --> 00:50:50,499
- Voila.
- 731
- 00:50:52,216 --> 00:50:54,378
- Are you loyal, Ms. Zandor?
- 732
- 00:50:55,094 --> 00:50:56,710
- You really want me to answer that?
- 733
- 00:50:56,887 --> 00:50:58,253
- Well, when you're at war,
- 734
- 00:50:58,430 --> 00:51:00,513
- you need people
- who are loyal to a fault.
- 735
- 00:51:01,475 --> 00:51:03,182
- People you can count on
- to get things done.
- 736
- 00:51:03,352 --> 00:51:05,844
- I just get people arrested
- for not paying their bills.
- 737
- 00:51:06,021 --> 00:51:08,764
- Yeah, 'cause there are some problems
- that require a physical solution,
- 738
- 00:51:08,941 --> 00:51:11,354
- but there are other times,
- particularly at war,
- 739
- 00:51:11,527 --> 00:51:13,063
- when you need a different set of rules.
- 740
- 00:51:13,237 --> 00:51:14,569
- - The rules of war.
- - Exactly.
- 741
- 00:51:14,738 --> 00:51:17,481
- It's too bad my division doesn't operate
- inside the OASIS.
- 742
- 00:51:17,658 --> 00:51:20,401
- Yeah, but if this war
- remains in the OASIS,
- 743
- 00:51:20,578 --> 00:51:22,035
- then you can't do anything.
- 744
- 00:51:22,955 --> 00:51:25,743
- So, this is one of those conversations
- that we're not really having.
- 745
- 00:51:25,916 --> 00:51:27,498
- Well, we've had
- these kind of conversations before,
- 746
- 00:51:27,668 --> 00:51:28,658
- and look where you are now.
- 747
- 00:51:28,836 --> 00:51:31,249
- You got a seat on the board,
- head of your own division,
- 748
- 00:51:31,422 --> 00:51:35,211
- a division that will cease to exist
- if the wrong person wins this contest.
- 749
- 00:51:35,384 --> 00:51:38,548
- F'Nale, a game decides our fate.
- 750
- 00:51:38,721 --> 00:51:42,465
- The only question is,
- how far are we willing to go to win it?
- 751
- 00:51:44,685 --> 00:51:46,722
- Tell me what you need, Nolan.
- 752
- 00:53:05,099 --> 00:53:06,590
- Whoa.
- 753
- 00:53:10,437 --> 00:53:11,427
- Where am I?
- 754
- 00:53:11,605 --> 00:53:14,348
- IOI Plaza.
- You're a hologram in the real world.
- 755
- 00:53:15,275 --> 00:53:16,482
- That's a really cool rig.
- 756
- 00:53:16,652 --> 00:53:20,817
- Thank you.
- It's a brand-new Habashaw, OIR 9400.
- 757
- 00:53:20,989 --> 00:53:22,696
- It looks like a giant hamster ball.
- 758
- 00:53:22,866 --> 00:53:27,577
- You know, if you came to work at IOI,
- you'd get one of these.
- 759
- 00:53:27,746 --> 00:53:28,953
- I don't clan up.
- 760
- 00:53:29,123 --> 00:53:31,740
- You'd also get your own
- penthouse apartment in Columbus
- 761
- 00:53:31,917 --> 00:53:34,034
- with the highest-speed connection.
- 762
- 00:53:34,211 --> 00:53:39,127
- In the OASIS, you'd get unlimited
- weapons, magic items, ships.
- 763
- 00:53:39,216 --> 00:53:41,299
- You want the ship from Defender?
- 764
- 00:53:41,468 --> 00:53:44,051
- You know, the kind
- that can just jump into hyperspace?
- 765
- 00:53:44,221 --> 00:53:46,053
- You want the Millennium Falcon?
- 766
- 00:53:47,015 --> 00:53:48,005
- You have that?
- 767
- 00:53:48,100 --> 00:53:51,138
- Anything you need
- to help you find that egg,
- 768
- 00:53:51,311 --> 00:53:52,597
- and then there's the salary.
- 769
- 00:53:53,772 --> 00:53:55,729
- 4 million a year.
- 770
- 00:53:55,899 --> 00:53:59,313
- And if you do happen to find
- that Easter egg, there's a bonus.
- 771
- 00:53:59,486 --> 00:54:01,728
- 25 million dollars.
- 772
- 00:54:07,161 --> 00:54:10,575
- I can see you're using
- emotion-suppressing software right now,
- 773
- 00:54:10,748 --> 00:54:13,582
- and why wouldn't you?
- It's smart, not to show your hand.
- 774
- 00:54:19,089 --> 00:54:22,753
- It is a lot of money.
- I could really use it.
- 775
- 00:54:27,765 --> 00:54:29,973
- But I don't think you and I
- would have the same plans.
- 776
- 00:54:30,142 --> 00:54:33,010
- Well, I don't know about that.
- What, for the OASIS?
- 777
- 00:54:33,187 --> 00:54:36,305
- I guess
- if you're not a John Hughes fan...
- 778
- 00:54:37,483 --> 00:54:39,065
- Of course I am.
- 779
- 00:54:39,234 --> 00:54:41,692
- Because the first thing that I would do
- 780
- 00:54:41,862 --> 00:54:45,446
- is convert all the schools
- on Ludus to replicas
- 781
- 00:54:45,616 --> 00:54:48,609
- from The Breakfast Club
- and Ferris Bueller.
- 782
- 00:54:48,786 --> 00:54:51,028
- No way. That's a great idea.
- 783
- 00:54:51,955 --> 00:54:54,242
- Which school, Ridgemont or Faber?
- 784
- 00:54:54,416 --> 00:54:57,329
- Fast Times at Ridgemont High,
- not John Hughes.
- 785
- 00:54:57,503 --> 00:55:00,587
- It's a trap.
- Faber College from Animal House.
- 786
- 00:55:00,756 --> 00:55:02,042
- John Hughes didn't direct
- 787
- 00:55:02,216 --> 00:55:04,754
- Fast Times at Ridgemont High
- or Animal House.
- 788
- 00:55:05,385 --> 00:55:08,549
- Ferris Bueller and The Breakfast Club,
- they went to Shermer High School,
- 789
- 00:55:08,722 --> 00:55:11,465
- which is in Shermer, Illinois.
- I know what you think.
- 790
- 00:55:12,267 --> 00:55:13,803
- You think I'm a corporate asshole,
- 791
- 00:55:13,977 --> 00:55:16,185
- that I don't appreciate
- pop culture, but...
- 792
- 00:55:17,356 --> 00:55:20,315
- Man, that's not true.
- You know, when I wanna blow off steam...
- 793
- 00:55:20,484 --> 00:55:24,273
- Drink Tab, play Robotron,
- listen to Duran Duran.
- 794
- 00:55:24,446 --> 00:55:25,857
- I crack open a Tab.
- 795
- 00:55:26,031 --> 00:55:28,273
- I put on some Duran Duran.
- I play Robotron.
- 796
- 00:55:28,450 --> 00:55:30,407
- That's why I love the OASIS.
- 797
- 00:55:30,577 --> 00:55:33,741
- 'Cause it's just full
- of all these things, man,
- 798
- 00:55:33,914 --> 00:55:35,371
- that people love. You know?
- 799
- 00:55:43,257 --> 00:55:45,590
- I'm a businessman. I get it.
- 800
- 00:55:45,759 --> 00:55:48,376
- But I gotta do my job.
- 801
- 00:55:48,554 --> 00:55:53,299
- But I didn't ask you here
- just to help us find the egg, Parzival.
- 802
- 00:55:54,309 --> 00:55:58,053
- I asked you here for what comes after.
- 803
- 00:55:59,314 --> 00:56:00,930
- What would Halliday say?
- 804
- 00:56:02,025 --> 00:56:04,688
- James Halliday is dead.
- 805
- 00:56:05,988 --> 00:56:08,901
- Yeah. He is.
- 806
- 00:56:09,992 --> 00:56:13,827
- All that's left of him is this contest.
- And you know what?
- 807
- 00:56:14,913 --> 00:56:17,121
- It just seems like
- he wouldn't want you winning it.
- 808
- 00:56:17,291 --> 00:56:18,452
- A fanboy knows a hater,
- 809
- 00:56:18,625 --> 00:56:21,208
- and I know you've got a whole department
- of oologists in your ear.
- 810
- 00:56:21,378 --> 00:56:23,461
- So, if you wanna know
- what I really think...
- 811
- 00:56:23,630 --> 00:56:25,087
- I think you're full of shit.
- 812
- 00:56:30,470 --> 00:56:31,551
- Here's my offer.
- 813
- 00:56:31,722 --> 00:56:33,463
- Your board of directors,
- you got them in the other ear?
- 814
- 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,506
- Why don't you tell 'em this.
- 815
- 00:56:36,727 --> 00:56:39,140
- If they dump you, I'll consider it.
- 816
- 00:56:39,521 --> 00:56:41,558
- I might say something off the record.
- 817
- 00:56:42,608 --> 00:56:44,099
- I had to make the offer.
- 818
- 00:56:44,276 --> 00:56:47,485
- The board expected it,
- but I was really hoping you'd say no.
- 819
- 00:56:47,654 --> 00:56:50,897
- Because if anyone's gonna win
- this competition, it's me.
- 820
- 00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:52,440
- My avatar gets the egg
- 821
- 00:56:52,618 --> 00:56:56,202
- 'cause I'm the only one here
- with the balls to run this place.
- 822
- 00:56:56,496 --> 00:56:58,829
- Wow, you really switched gears there.
- 823
- 00:56:58,999 --> 00:57:01,366
- From fairly reasonable
- to maniacal overlord.
- 824
- 00:57:02,085 --> 00:57:03,997
- You should be grateful, Wade.
- 825
- 00:57:05,088 --> 00:57:08,252
- You won't be around
- to endure my maniacal reign.
- 826
- 00:57:08,508 --> 00:57:10,124
- Yeah, that's right. I know who you are.
- 827
- 00:57:10,302 --> 00:57:14,888
- Wade Owen Watts, born August 12, 2027.
- 828
- 00:57:15,557 --> 00:57:19,392
- I also know where you are.
- Unit 56K, Columbus stacks.
- 829
- 00:57:19,561 --> 00:57:22,144
- You were last seen entering your trailer
- 3 days ago.
- 830
- 00:57:22,314 --> 00:57:23,680
- You haven't left since.
- 831
- 00:57:23,857 --> 00:57:24,847
- What are you doing? You can't...
- 832
- 00:57:25,025 --> 00:57:26,106
- With all that's going on in the world,
- 833
- 00:57:26,276 --> 00:57:27,938
- do you really think that
- anyone's gonna give a damn
- 834
- 00:57:28,111 --> 00:57:29,101
- about an explosion
- 835
- 00:57:29,279 --> 00:57:31,987
- in some ghetto trash rat warren
- in Columbus?
- 836
- 00:57:32,157 --> 00:57:34,240
- Sorrento, don't do this.
- I'm not even there!
- 837
- 00:57:34,409 --> 00:57:36,241
- Not for long.
- 838
- 00:57:39,957 --> 00:57:41,994
- Call Alice.
- 839
- 00:57:42,167 --> 00:57:43,829
- Dial Alice.
- 840
- 00:58:10,362 --> 00:58:12,194
- Pick up! Pick up! Alice!
- 841
- 00:58:17,327 --> 00:58:19,614
- This bootsuit's pretty awesome.
- Thanks for that.
- 842
- 00:58:19,788 --> 00:58:21,700
- Rick! Rick, the place is gonna blow!
- 843
- 00:58:21,873 --> 00:58:23,205
- Rick, is that Wade?
- 844
- 00:58:23,375 --> 00:58:25,412
- - Put Alice on!
- - Let me talk to him.
- 845
- 00:58:25,585 --> 00:58:27,497
- Don't call here anymore, you got me?
- 846
- 00:58:28,964 --> 00:58:31,832
- I don't wanna hear your voice
- ever again.
- 847
- 00:59:08,879 --> 00:59:12,418
- Contact Aech, Daito, Sho, and Art3mis.
- 848
- 00:59:13,258 --> 00:59:15,295
- IOI came for me in the real world.
- 849
- 00:59:15,469 --> 00:59:18,177
- They gotta be coming after you,
- so wherever you are...
- 850
- 00:59:44,331 --> 00:59:46,197
- Sorry about the blindfold.
- 851
- 00:59:46,374 --> 00:59:48,491
- My guys are a little paranoid.
- 852
- 00:59:49,377 --> 00:59:50,959
- Say that again.
- 853
- 00:59:51,588 --> 00:59:53,921
- My guys are a little paranoid.
- 854
- 00:59:55,050 --> 00:59:56,461
- Art3mis?
- 855
- 00:59:58,053 --> 01:00:02,047
- My real name is Samantha,
- but yeah, I'm Art3mis.
- 856
- 01:00:03,975 --> 01:00:06,638
- Showers are that way,
- clean clothes, too.
- 857
- 01:00:09,981 --> 01:00:13,975
- Welcome to the rebellion, Wade.
- 858
- 01:00:25,205 --> 01:00:29,199
- That's IOI.
- So the stacks are over there?
- 859
- 01:00:30,710 --> 01:00:33,498
- We've been living this close
- to each other the whole time?
- 860
- 01:00:35,006 --> 01:00:36,292
- Next door,
- 861
- 01:00:37,175 --> 01:00:41,215
- around the world,
- it's all the same in the OASIS.
- 862
- 01:00:43,723 --> 01:00:45,680
- For the record,
- 863
- 01:00:46,143 --> 01:00:47,554
- um...
- 864
- 01:00:47,644 --> 01:00:49,852
- I'm not disappointed.
- 865
- 01:00:51,648 --> 01:00:54,561
- You said I would be disappointed
- when I met you, but...
- 866
- 01:00:54,734 --> 01:00:56,396
- I'm not.
- 867
- 01:00:57,988 --> 01:01:00,731
- I've lived with it my whole life.
- You don't have to pretend.
- 868
- 01:01:15,338 --> 01:01:18,046
- You have a birthmark, so what?
- 869
- 01:01:19,009 --> 01:01:20,671
- Why would that scare me?
- 870
- 01:01:27,934 --> 01:01:30,176
- Z, if I hurt you, I'm sorry.
- 871
- 01:01:30,562 --> 01:01:31,723
- No, it's...
- 872
- 01:01:32,772 --> 01:01:35,105
- Wait, did you just call me "Z"?
- 873
- 01:01:36,067 --> 01:01:38,024
- - Oh, my God. Did I?
- - I think you did.
- 874
- 01:01:38,111 --> 01:01:39,727
- Wade, I'm sorry.
- 875
- 01:01:39,988 --> 01:01:42,150
- Yeah, Wade, Z.
- 876
- 01:01:42,324 --> 01:01:45,442
- You can call me whatever you want.
- And I'll call you Sam.
- 877
- 01:01:45,619 --> 01:01:46,609
- No.
- 878
- 01:01:47,746 --> 01:01:48,736
- Samantha?
- 879
- 01:01:49,247 --> 01:01:51,455
- Okay. Cool.
- 880
- 01:01:58,798 --> 01:02:00,505
- Wow.
- 881
- 01:02:01,384 --> 01:02:03,421
- It's so much slower here.
- 882
- 01:02:04,846 --> 01:02:08,135
- I mean, the wind, the people...
- 883
- 01:02:10,060 --> 01:02:11,847
- Everything.
- 884
- 01:02:17,108 --> 01:02:19,100
- We forget what it's like to be outside.
- 885
- 01:02:19,569 --> 01:02:20,559
- Yeah.
- 886
- 01:02:23,907 --> 01:02:26,274
- - Uh...
- - Oh, shit!
- 887
- 01:02:27,369 --> 01:02:28,860
- - I just figured it out.
- - Figured what out?
- 888
- 01:02:29,037 --> 01:02:30,403
- The second clue. I know what it means.
- 889
- 01:02:36,795 --> 01:02:38,286
- We've been thinking about it
- too literally.
- 890
- 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:39,870
- "The leap not taken,"
- 891
- 01:02:40,048 --> 01:02:42,461
- the leap Halliday didn't take,
- is with Kira.
- 892
- 01:02:42,634 --> 01:02:46,298
- Yeah, but... I mean, he blamed her
- for breaking up him and Morrow.
- 893
- 01:02:46,471 --> 01:02:49,259
- No. Halliday was madly in love with her.
- 894
- 01:02:49,432 --> 01:02:51,674
- He had a chance with Kira.
- He had a chance to kiss her, but...
- 895
- 01:02:51,851 --> 01:02:52,932
- He didn't take the leap.
- 896
- 01:02:53,103 --> 01:02:55,766
- Right. So that's where we go next.
- 897
- 01:02:56,940 --> 01:02:58,306
- The place where the leap wasn't taken.
- 898
- 01:02:58,483 --> 01:02:59,473
- Where the date was.
- 899
- 01:02:59,943 --> 01:03:01,559
- At the movies!
- 900
- 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:03,936
- Hey, Curator.
- 901
- 01:03:04,114 --> 01:03:05,946
- We figured out the second clue.
- The challenge is here.
- 902
- 01:03:06,116 --> 01:03:07,982
- Halliday kept track of every movie
- he ever watched,
- 903
- 01:03:08,159 --> 01:03:11,072
- the week and the year he watched it,
- and how many times.
- 904
- 01:03:11,246 --> 01:03:15,331
- Curator, can we see
- November 23 to 27, 2025?
- 905
- 01:03:16,001 --> 01:03:17,788
- That's the week
- he went on the date with Kira.
- 906
- 01:03:22,424 --> 01:03:25,883
- Okay, so our options for that week
- are The Fly remake.
- 907
- 01:03:26,052 --> 01:03:28,009
- Great flick, terrible date movie.
- 908
- 01:03:28,179 --> 01:03:30,762
- Say Anything... That would make sense.
- 909
- 01:03:31,683 --> 01:03:36,053
- We gotta remember the clue.
- "A creator who hates his own creation."
- 910
- 01:03:40,734 --> 01:03:42,521
- The Shining!
- 911
- 01:03:42,694 --> 01:03:44,811
- It's Halliday's
- 11th favorite horror film,
- 912
- 01:03:44,988 --> 01:03:47,275
- and it's based on the best-selling book
- by Stephen King,
- 913
- 01:03:47,365 --> 01:03:48,355
- who hated the movie!
- 914
- 01:03:48,992 --> 01:03:50,904
- Hey! No side chitchat.
- 915
- 01:03:51,077 --> 01:03:52,363
- I think we found it.
- 916
- 01:03:56,166 --> 01:03:58,704
- Are you absolutely sure
- you want to go here?
- 917
- 01:03:58,877 --> 01:04:00,584
- Absolutely positive.
- 918
- 01:04:00,754 --> 01:04:03,167
- Let's hope you have the belly for it.
- 919
- 01:04:46,549 --> 01:04:47,630
- Look.
- 920
- 01:04:49,135 --> 01:04:51,127
- Ticking clock.
- 921
- 01:04:51,304 --> 01:04:54,047
- Okay, so I'm estimating about
- 922
- 01:04:55,141 --> 01:04:57,007
- 5 minutes to find the key.
- 923
- 01:04:57,185 --> 01:04:58,642
- Yeah, there are so many keys
- in The Shining, though.
- 924
- 01:04:58,812 --> 01:05:00,223
- Where do we start?
- 925
- 01:05:01,648 --> 01:05:04,857
- I've never seen The Shining.
- Is it really scary?
- 926
- 01:05:05,068 --> 01:05:08,232
- Uh, I had to watch it
- through my fingers.
- 927
- 01:05:08,988 --> 01:05:11,321
- Okay, so we got the key
- from room 237,
- 928
- 01:05:11,950 --> 01:05:13,691
- the keys to the Snowcat,
- 929
- 01:05:13,868 --> 01:05:15,530
- or the keys they give Jack
- at the beginning of the movie.
- 930
- 01:05:15,703 --> 01:05:17,410
- Well,
- if it's "the leap not taken,"
- 931
- 01:05:17,497 --> 01:05:18,487
- maybe the key isn't a key at all.
- 932
- 01:05:18,665 --> 01:05:19,872
- I know where the Snowcat keys are!
- 933
- 01:05:20,041 --> 01:05:21,077
- I say we split up.
- 934
- 01:05:21,251 --> 01:05:22,241
- We get all the keys
- 935
- 01:05:22,377 --> 01:05:24,369
- and then we meet back
- at the Torrances' apartment.
- 936
- 01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:29,999
- Hello, Danny.
- 937
- 01:05:31,261 --> 01:05:32,877
- Come play with us.
- 938
- 01:05:33,054 --> 01:05:36,263
- Little girls,
- y'all know how to get out of here?
- 939
- 01:05:41,271 --> 01:05:42,261
- Wait, wait!
- 940
- 01:05:42,439 --> 01:05:44,396
- Wait, where's Aech?
- 941
- 01:05:44,566 --> 01:05:45,807
- Wait!
- 942
- 01:05:46,943 --> 01:05:47,933
- Aech!
- 943
- 01:05:48,736 --> 01:05:49,772
- No, no, no, no!
- 944
- 01:06:08,006 --> 01:06:09,622
- Ahh!
- 945
- 01:06:14,345 --> 01:06:15,927
- Ahh!
- 946
- 01:06:49,464 --> 01:06:52,172
- Oh, uh, hi, naked lady. I'm sorry.
- 947
- 01:06:52,342 --> 01:06:54,083
- I didn't mean to interrupt,
- uh, your bath time.
- 948
- 01:06:54,427 --> 01:06:56,214
- I know self-care can be important.
- 949
- 01:06:56,429 --> 01:06:59,593
- Uh, but can you do me a favor
- and tell me, where are all the exits?
- 950
- 01:07:03,228 --> 01:07:04,719
- Huh. Whoa.
- 951
- 01:07:04,812 --> 01:07:07,020
- Okay, am I being punked?
- 952
- 01:07:07,190 --> 01:07:09,523
- 'Cause you're likin' me
- a little way too much.
- 953
- 01:07:11,069 --> 01:07:13,186
- All right, you know what?
- I'ma go with it.
- 954
- 01:07:26,751 --> 01:07:27,787
- Ahh!
- 955
- 01:08:05,123 --> 01:08:06,364
- Time's running out.
- 956
- 01:08:06,541 --> 01:08:08,498
- Yo, Z, is Art3mis pissed at me?
- 957
- 01:08:08,668 --> 01:08:10,910
- Dude, I'm pissed at you.
- You've never seen The Shining, have you?
- 958
- 01:08:11,087 --> 01:08:12,294
- You know I hate scary movies!
- 959
- 01:08:12,463 --> 01:08:13,453
- We got the key.
- 960
- 01:08:13,631 --> 01:08:14,872
- Sweet! To room 237!
- 961
- 01:08:15,049 --> 01:08:17,416
- We ain't got no business
- goin' to room 237!
- 962
- 01:08:17,594 --> 01:08:18,584
- We should stay out!
- 963
- 01:08:18,761 --> 01:08:20,844
- Plus, there was this crazy,
- naked zombie lady in there.
- 964
- 01:08:21,014 --> 01:08:22,505
- There are no zombies in The Shining.
- 965
- 01:08:22,682 --> 01:08:24,514
- Well, maybe it's not supposed
- to be like the movie.
- 966
- 01:08:24,684 --> 01:08:26,220
- Kira is the key.
- You're the one who said it.
- 967
- 01:08:26,394 --> 01:08:28,511
- Hey, y'all. I saw a picture of Kira!
- 968
- 01:08:28,605 --> 01:08:30,642
- Huh?
- 969
- 01:08:33,192 --> 01:08:34,228
- Where?
- 970
- 01:08:41,242 --> 01:08:44,531
- It's Kira. "Escape your past."
- 971
- 01:08:45,371 --> 01:08:47,203
- "The leap not taken."
- 972
- 01:08:48,583 --> 01:08:50,415
- Halliday's greatest fear
- wasn't The Shining
- 973
- 01:08:50,585 --> 01:08:51,996
- or any book or movie.
- 974
- 01:08:53,046 --> 01:08:55,834
- His biggest fear was kissing a girl.
- 975
- 01:08:56,633 --> 01:08:58,920
- That's the leap he couldn't take.
- 976
- 01:09:07,143 --> 01:09:08,759
- The ballroom.
- 977
- 01:09:23,409 --> 01:09:25,492
- Aech, come on.
- 978
- 01:09:29,082 --> 01:09:31,039
- Zombies. Told you.
- 979
- 01:09:32,502 --> 01:09:33,709
- That's her.
- 980
- 01:09:34,837 --> 01:09:36,248
- That's Kira.
- 981
- 01:09:39,342 --> 01:09:40,503
- None of this is in The Shining.
- 982
- 01:09:40,677 --> 01:09:43,420
- Z, look. That's the zombie-circle level
- in Mayhem Mansion,
- 983
- 01:09:43,596 --> 01:09:45,053
- one of Halliday's first games.
- 984
- 01:09:45,223 --> 01:09:47,010
- The whole Shining trivia
- is just a diversion.
- 985
- 01:09:48,267 --> 01:09:49,849
- 1 minute left.
- 986
- 01:09:51,312 --> 01:09:52,473
- How do we get to her?
- 987
- 01:09:52,647 --> 01:09:53,637
- Take the leap.
- 988
- 01:09:53,815 --> 01:09:54,805
- Wait!
- 989
- 01:09:56,234 --> 01:09:57,315
- Whoa!
- 990
- 01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:05,862
- Okay, Mr. Dead Guy. Cool if I lead?
- 991
- 01:10:53,583 --> 01:10:55,449
- Care to dance?
- 992
- 01:10:55,877 --> 01:10:59,336
- Do you know how long
- I've been waiting for you to ask?
- 993
- 01:11:05,219 --> 01:11:07,632
- Well, well, well.
- 994
- 01:11:07,805 --> 01:11:12,175
- So you found my Jade Key.
- 995
- 01:11:14,687 --> 01:11:16,599
- Imagine that.
- 996
- 01:11:21,611 --> 01:11:23,147
- Thank you.
- 997
- 01:11:27,950 --> 01:11:29,987
- - Kira was a very beautiful...
- - Go on.
- 998
- 01:11:59,065 --> 01:12:01,978
- One of our oologists saw them
- enter the media library.
- 999
- 01:12:02,151 --> 01:12:03,642
- She cracked the clue.
- 1000
- 01:12:03,820 --> 01:12:06,858
- Now, we just have to win
- The Shining challenge.
- 1001
- 01:12:09,951 --> 01:12:12,659
- Get her off me! Get her off me!
- 1002
- 01:12:22,171 --> 01:12:26,666
- Mr. Sorrento,
- I really think you need to see this.
- 1003
- 01:12:28,803 --> 01:12:30,590
- Now Parzival's got the Jade Key.
- 1004
- 01:12:41,023 --> 01:12:43,106
- He's alive.
- 1005
- 01:12:43,401 --> 01:12:45,734
- I know. I'll get back to you.
- 1006
- 01:12:46,362 --> 01:12:48,354
- I got what you're looking for.
- 1007
- 01:12:52,285 --> 01:12:56,495
- Freeze. This guy.
- The one with the lame tattoo.
- 1008
- 01:12:57,081 --> 01:12:58,242
- Enlarge.
- 1009
- 01:13:00,793 --> 01:13:03,877
- Run him through our database,
- every IOI drone in Columbus.
- 1010
- 01:13:04,046 --> 01:13:05,457
- Find him.
- 1011
- 01:13:32,408 --> 01:13:33,990
- Groceries are here.
- 1012
- 01:13:34,118 --> 01:13:35,234
- All right. Gluten-O's...
- 1013
- 01:13:35,411 --> 01:13:36,697
- "If you know
- the answer ultimate,
- 1014
- 01:13:36,787 --> 01:13:37,994
- "divide it by the number magic,
- 1015
- 01:13:38,164 --> 01:13:41,783
- "and what you need, want, and desire
- will be found in the fortress tragic."
- 1016
- 01:13:41,959 --> 01:13:43,951
- "Tragic," that's gotta be Halliday
- referring to himself.
- 1017
- 01:13:44,086 --> 01:13:45,076
- Why?
- 1018
- 01:13:45,171 --> 01:13:46,287
- Because he was lonely.
- 1019
- 01:13:46,464 --> 01:13:48,797
- He had no one to spend his life with
- towards the end.
- 1020
- 01:13:48,883 --> 01:13:49,873
- Yeah, that's true.
- 1021
- 01:13:49,967 --> 01:13:52,755
- The contest has gotta be somehow
- about connecting with someone.
- 1022
- 01:13:52,929 --> 01:13:54,261
- Anyone.
- 1023
- 01:13:54,430 --> 01:13:55,796
- He wants the person
- who cares for the OASIS
- 1024
- 01:13:55,973 --> 01:13:57,509
- to be connected with the world.
- 1025
- 01:13:57,683 --> 01:14:00,141
- That's what I think
- he's trying to tell us.
- 1026
- 01:14:06,150 --> 01:14:07,766
- Wade.
- 1027
- 01:14:09,820 --> 01:14:11,482
- You understand Halliday.
- 1028
- 01:14:12,156 --> 01:14:14,648
- You know him better than anyone.
- 1029
- 01:14:15,868 --> 01:14:18,406
- It's exactly why I think you'll win.
- 1030
- 01:14:18,871 --> 01:14:22,660
- Really? You really think I'm gonna win?
- 1031
- 01:14:26,629 --> 01:14:28,336
- Do not move!
- 1032
- 01:14:33,803 --> 01:14:35,214
- Target identified!
- 1033
- 01:14:36,305 --> 01:14:37,841
- Freeze! Don't move!
- 1034
- 01:14:44,730 --> 01:14:47,268
- - This leads right to the alley.
- - You first.
- 1035
- 01:14:47,358 --> 01:14:49,020
- I'm right behind you. Go now!
- 1036
- 01:14:50,653 --> 01:14:52,064
- Come on!
- 1037
- 01:14:52,238 --> 01:14:54,571
- - Wade, the OASIS needs you.
- - What?
- 1038
- 01:14:54,740 --> 01:14:55,856
- - I'm gonna delay them.
- - Wait!
- 1039
- 01:14:56,033 --> 01:14:57,820
- No, no, no, wait! No, no, no!
- 1040
- 01:14:58,494 --> 01:15:00,656
- You'll forgive me for this, I promise.
- 1041
- 01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:11,462
- Freeze, freeze, freeze!
- 1042
- 01:15:12,508 --> 01:15:13,498
- Don't move!
- 1043
- 01:15:18,806 --> 01:15:21,344
- Samantha Evelyn Cook.
- 1044
- 01:15:21,517 --> 01:15:25,010
- IOI has purchased and consolidated
- all of your outstanding debt,
- 1045
- 01:15:25,187 --> 01:15:28,271
- currently in excess of 23,000 credits.
- 1046
- 01:15:28,441 --> 01:15:31,104
- You will be remanded to the nearest
- IOI loyalty center
- 1047
- 01:15:31,318 --> 01:15:32,650
- until your debt is paid in full,
- 1048
- 01:15:32,820 --> 01:15:35,437
- including any interest, processing,
- 1049
- 01:15:35,614 --> 01:15:38,106
- or late fees you incur henceforth.
- 1050
- 01:15:38,284 --> 01:15:40,446
- - Does anybody have eyes?
- - Check down the next street!
- 1051
- 01:15:53,299 --> 01:15:55,336
- - "First to the key."
- - "First to the egg."
- 1052
- 01:15:55,509 --> 01:15:56,795
- Wait, what?
- 1053
- 01:15:57,803 --> 01:15:59,965
- "Never trust someone you meet
- in the OASIS."
- 1054
- 01:16:01,182 --> 01:16:03,640
- "She might be a 300-pound dude
- named Chuck..."
- 1055
- 01:16:03,809 --> 01:16:07,018
- "Who lives in his mama's basement
- in suburban Detroit."
- 1056
- 01:16:09,398 --> 01:16:10,388
- Aech!
- 1057
- 01:16:11,317 --> 01:16:14,810
- Helen. My dad called me Aech
- It kinda stuck. Let's go!
- 1058
- 01:16:24,705 --> 01:16:26,867
- That thing's IDing my van.
- 1059
- 01:16:41,722 --> 01:16:43,714
- Come on. They've spotted us.
- 1060
- 01:16:44,558 --> 01:16:45,548
- Daito.
- 1061
- 01:16:45,643 --> 01:16:48,807
- My real name is Toshiro.
- Samantha got us a message.
- 1062
- 01:16:48,979 --> 01:16:50,641
- She told us to meet you here.
- 1063
- 01:16:50,815 --> 01:16:52,056
- Samantha, they took her to the...
- 1064
- 01:16:52,233 --> 01:16:53,644
- The loyalty center, I know.
- 1065
- 01:16:53,818 --> 01:16:57,027
- Look, in other awesome news,
- the Sixers found the third challenge.
- 1066
- 01:16:57,822 --> 01:16:59,563
- - What?
- - Just come on, get in!
- 1067
- 01:16:59,740 --> 01:17:00,730
- All right. Let's go.
- 1068
- 01:17:00,866 --> 01:17:03,074
- Hurry up. Go, go, go. All right.
- 1069
- 01:17:14,839 --> 01:17:17,172
- How did IOI find
- the third challenge so fast?
- 1070
- 01:17:17,341 --> 01:17:19,298
- IOI cracked
- the first three lines of the clue,
- 1071
- 01:17:19,468 --> 01:17:20,504
- so they knew it was sector 14
- 1072
- 01:17:20,678 --> 01:17:22,465
- but they couldn't figure out
- "the fortress tragic."
- 1073
- 01:17:22,638 --> 01:17:24,971
- So they sent every guide
- they had into that sector
- 1074
- 01:17:25,141 --> 01:17:27,007
- until they found the right fortress.
- 1075
- 01:17:28,144 --> 01:17:29,430
- Sho?
- 1076
- 01:17:29,603 --> 01:17:31,720
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm 11, so what?
- 1077
- 01:17:31,897 --> 01:17:33,763
- His real name is Xo.
- 1078
- 01:17:33,941 --> 01:17:36,524
- But everyone else calls me Sho,
- no big deal.
- 1079
- 01:17:36,694 --> 01:17:39,311
- No. It is a big deal.
- 1080
- 01:17:39,488 --> 01:17:42,902
- Sho, you're the world's most badass
- 11-year-old ever.
- 1081
- 01:17:43,033 --> 01:17:44,023
- He knows.
- 1082
- 01:17:44,118 --> 01:17:46,155
- Shut up! Let him tell me.
- 1083
- 01:17:46,328 --> 01:17:47,364
- Aech!
- 1084
- 01:17:50,916 --> 01:17:52,452
- We have to go save Samantha.
- 1085
- 01:17:52,626 --> 01:17:54,834
- Well, we can't just
- go through the doors of IOI.
- 1086
- 01:17:55,004 --> 01:17:57,041
- Look, I've been thinkin' about it.
- I got a better plan.
- 1087
- 01:17:57,214 --> 01:17:59,046
- You saw Sorrento's rig, right?
- 1088
- 01:17:59,216 --> 01:18:00,206
- Yeah.
- 1089
- 01:18:00,384 --> 01:18:03,593
- Let's go after the man himself and
- make him give Art3mis back to us.
- 1090
- 01:18:03,762 --> 01:18:05,503
- But first, I have to know exactly,
- 1091
- 01:18:05,681 --> 01:18:07,593
- how much about Sorrento's rig
- do you remember?
- 1092
- 01:18:09,059 --> 01:18:11,301
- Kind of everything.
- 1093
- 01:18:25,075 --> 01:18:28,910
- Maintenance,
- report to loyalty pod 31-B.
- 1094
- 01:18:33,042 --> 01:18:37,582
- Security, please report
- to section 97 for escort.
- 1095
- 01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:01,188
- Hey! Newbie, get to work.
- 1096
- 01:19:03,405 --> 01:19:04,737
- Get to work.
- 1097
- 01:19:10,829 --> 01:19:13,913
- Work violation.
- Work violation.
- 1098
- 01:19:15,709 --> 01:19:18,747
- Lay those charges every 6 feet.
- 1099
- 01:19:23,801 --> 01:19:25,918
- Keep it moving!
- 1100
- 01:19:27,263 --> 01:19:28,253
- Hey, you!
- 1101
- 01:19:30,432 --> 01:19:32,173
- Those are explosives!
- 1102
- 01:19:33,644 --> 01:19:37,012
- IOI will not reimburse any lost coin
- if you zero out.
- 1103
- 01:19:37,189 --> 01:19:38,930
- Keep it moving!
- 1104
- 01:19:43,696 --> 01:19:46,564
- So what is this challenge,
- some sort of video game thing?
- 1105
- 01:19:46,740 --> 01:19:48,652
- An Atari 2600, sir.
- 1106
- 01:19:48,826 --> 01:19:52,365
- And every game ever made for it,
- thousands of possibilities.
- 1107
- 01:19:53,205 --> 01:19:54,195
- Come up!
- 1108
- 01:19:59,044 --> 01:20:00,330
- Halliday,
- 1109
- 01:20:00,504 --> 01:20:01,870
- this is how you plan to resolve
- 1110
- 01:20:02,047 --> 01:20:05,085
- the fate of the world's
- most important economic resource?
- 1111
- 01:20:05,884 --> 01:20:07,671
- - Call me when you're close.
- - Yes, sir.
- 1112
- 01:20:07,845 --> 01:20:09,381
- Go, go! No! Ahh!
- 1113
- 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:14,508
- 1 minute into Centipede,
- the ice broke.
- 1114
- 01:20:14,935 --> 01:20:16,426
- It has to be Joust!
- 1115
- 01:20:16,562 --> 01:20:19,726
- Halliday still holds the world record
- on the 2600 port of that game.
- 1116
- 01:20:19,898 --> 01:20:21,309
- Maybe we just need
- to beat his high score.
- 1117
- 01:20:21,483 --> 01:20:24,021
- Pitfall! One of the only 2600 games
- that still hasn't ended.
- 1118
- 01:20:24,194 --> 01:20:25,310
- And how about
- those Swordquest games?
- 1119
- 01:20:25,487 --> 01:20:26,523
- Yes! The Swordquest games.
- 1120
- 01:20:26,697 --> 01:20:29,531
- They were created
- for a contest Atari held with real...
- 1121
- 01:20:37,291 --> 01:20:38,907
- i-R0k, how are we doin'?
- 1122
- 01:20:40,294 --> 01:20:42,377
- To be honest, I think I need
- physical therapy because it's not...
- 1123
- 01:20:42,546 --> 01:20:44,538
- Is the Orb ready?
- 1124
- 01:20:45,549 --> 01:20:47,211
- Um, as you wish.
- 1125
- 01:20:51,388 --> 01:20:52,378
- The Orb...
- 1126
- 01:20:52,556 --> 01:20:53,967
- Of Osuvox.
- 1127
- 01:20:54,850 --> 01:20:55,931
- Ah...
- 1128
- 01:20:56,018 --> 01:20:57,384
- How does it work?
- 1129
- 01:20:57,561 --> 01:21:01,350
- Has it got, like, a remote
- or is there a button or something?
- 1130
- 01:21:01,523 --> 01:21:04,982
- Nolan, it's a level-99 magic artifact,
- 1131
- 01:21:05,152 --> 01:21:08,771
- not one of your drones,
- so it is activated by a magic spell.
- 1132
- 01:21:08,947 --> 01:21:10,984
- Would you care to do the honors?
- 1133
- 01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:04,167
- Where is she?
- 1134
- 01:22:04,336 --> 01:22:05,452
- How'd you get in here?
- 1135
- 01:22:05,629 --> 01:22:06,745
- - Art3mis.
- - Who?
- 1136
- 01:22:06,922 --> 01:22:09,960
- Samantha Cook. Where is she?
- 1137
- 01:22:11,593 --> 01:22:14,961
- If you wanna talk, we can talk,
- but you gotta put that gun down.
- 1138
- 01:22:15,472 --> 01:22:17,805
- You killed my mom's sister.
- 1139
- 01:22:18,392 --> 01:22:19,883
- You think I won't kill you?
- 1140
- 01:22:20,018 --> 01:22:24,058
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just slow down, okay?
- 1141
- 01:22:24,231 --> 01:22:27,440
- That was a corporate decision.
- It was not personal.
- 1142
- 01:22:27,609 --> 01:22:28,599
- Where is she?
- 1143
- 01:22:28,777 --> 01:22:31,110
- She's downstairs in the loyalty center!
- 1144
- 01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:34,023
- I know
- she's in the goddamn loyalty center.
- 1145
- 01:22:34,616 --> 01:22:36,903
- You're gonna tell me
- exactly which rig she's in
- 1146
- 01:22:37,077 --> 01:22:39,410
- and the access code to contact her.
- 1147
- 01:22:40,497 --> 01:22:42,739
- Yeah, that seems appropriate.
- 1148
- 01:22:45,627 --> 01:22:47,619
- Start with access code.
- 1149
- 01:22:48,839 --> 01:22:50,956
- 6, 45, 7, 25.
- 1150
- 01:22:51,133 --> 01:22:52,374
- Where's the rig?
- 1151
- 01:23:03,312 --> 01:23:04,894
- I think he pissed himself.
- 1152
- 01:23:05,522 --> 01:23:07,354
- Good job, Z. We're in his account.
- 1153
- 01:23:07,524 --> 01:23:09,265
- So he really doesn't know
- he's in the OASIS?
- 1154
- 01:23:11,653 --> 01:23:14,066
- This is what Sorrento should be seeing,
- 1155
- 01:23:14,239 --> 01:23:17,357
- but this... This is what we're
- making him see.
- 1156
- 01:23:18,494 --> 01:23:21,362
- We grabbed him in transit just
- as he was logging out of the OASIS,
- 1157
- 01:23:21,538 --> 01:23:24,201
- so he thinks he's back in his office
- in the real world.
- 1158
- 01:23:24,416 --> 01:23:28,080
- But actually, he's here,
- in the identical office that Aech built.
- 1159
- 01:23:28,253 --> 01:23:30,791
- So, you basically
- just remotely hacked his rig.
- 1160
- 01:23:30,964 --> 01:23:33,832
- A fixed rig like Sorrento's
- is easy to locate, hard to hack.
- 1161
- 01:23:34,009 --> 01:23:36,547
- Unless he's stupid enough
- to leave his password lying around.
- 1162
- 01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:37,961
- Loyalty center, I'm in.
- 1163
- 01:23:38,138 --> 01:23:39,879
- All right, let's get to work.
- 1164
- 01:23:47,689 --> 01:23:49,851
- - Arty.
- - Z? Z? Z?
- 1165
- 01:23:50,025 --> 01:23:51,391
- Arty, don't say anything.
- 1166
- 01:23:51,568 --> 01:23:53,525
- I'm tapped directly
- into your audio feed.
- 1167
- 01:23:55,155 --> 01:23:56,236
- How did you find me?
- 1168
- 01:23:56,406 --> 01:23:58,363
- We got his password,
- hacked Sorrento's rig.
- 1169
- 01:23:59,993 --> 01:24:01,734
- Z, I have something to tell you.
- 1170
- 01:24:02,037 --> 01:24:04,279
- Not now. I have something to show you
- that'll get you out of there.
- 1171
- 01:24:04,456 --> 01:24:07,039
- The Sixers found the third challenge.
- It's on Planet Doom.
- 1172
- 01:24:07,918 --> 01:24:09,284
- And there's more,
- they just put a force field
- 1173
- 01:24:09,461 --> 01:24:11,248
- around Anorak's Castle.
- 1174
- 01:24:15,717 --> 01:24:18,209
- I heard one of the guards calling it
- "the Orb of Osuvox,"
- 1175
- 01:24:18,387 --> 01:24:20,754
- and the only way to take it down
- is from the inside.
- 1176
- 01:24:20,931 --> 01:24:23,924
- She's right. Level-99 artifact,
- 1177
- 01:24:24,101 --> 01:24:26,889
- creates a magic-resistant,
- impenetrable barrier.
- 1178
- 01:24:27,062 --> 01:24:28,052
- No way through it.
- 1179
- 01:24:28,230 --> 01:24:29,641
- Okay, listen.
- That's not important right now.
- 1180
- 01:24:29,815 --> 01:24:31,852
- What's important is
- that we get you out of the rig.
- 1181
- 01:24:34,653 --> 01:24:36,940
- All right, so I'm looking at a diagram
- of your rig.
- 1182
- 01:24:39,700 --> 01:24:41,942
- If you reach up with your left hand
- at 11 o'clock,
- 1183
- 01:24:42,119 --> 01:24:43,906
- there's a panel above your head.
- 1184
- 01:24:48,709 --> 01:24:50,701
- Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can feel it.
- 1185
- 01:24:50,877 --> 01:24:52,664
- Okay, there should be
- two release handles.
- 1186
- 01:24:52,838 --> 01:24:54,249
- 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock.
- Can you feel them?
- 1187
- 01:24:54,423 --> 01:24:56,756
- - Yeah, I got it.
- - Okay, pull it towards you.
- 1188
- 01:24:59,136 --> 01:25:00,627
- Okay, inside the panel, there's a lever.
- 1189
- 01:25:00,804 --> 01:25:03,262
- Grab it with your right hand
- and slide it to the left.
- 1190
- 01:25:03,432 --> 01:25:04,843
- That should release you.
- 1191
- 01:25:12,190 --> 01:25:13,977
- It worked. It worked, I'm out.
- 1192
- 01:25:14,943 --> 01:25:16,980
- Loyalty pod 41-F,
- 1193
- 01:25:17,070 --> 01:25:19,983
- you are on an authorized
- break for 10 minutes.
- 1194
- 01:25:25,329 --> 01:25:28,322
- Pod 41-F, you are on 10-minute break.
- 1195
- 01:25:28,498 --> 01:25:30,615
- Proceed to break area.
- 1196
- 01:25:31,918 --> 01:25:33,125
- Wade, are you still there?
- 1197
- 01:25:33,295 --> 01:25:34,331
- Yeah, I'm here. Where are you?
- 1198
- 01:25:34,504 --> 01:25:35,585
- Where is Sorrento's office?
- 1199
- 01:25:35,756 --> 01:25:37,964
- It's in the IOI war room,
- two levels above where you are now.
- 1200
- 01:25:38,133 --> 01:25:39,749
- But that's not the way out.
- 1201
- 01:25:39,926 --> 01:25:41,462
- What's his password?
- 1202
- 01:25:42,804 --> 01:25:43,920
- Wade, answer me.
- 1203
- 01:25:44,097 --> 01:25:47,966
- Okay, it's capital B-0-55-man-69.
- 1204
- 01:25:48,143 --> 01:25:50,351
- But, Arty, you need to go.
- 1205
- 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:51,806
- You need to raise an army.
- 1206
- 01:25:52,731 --> 01:25:53,721
- An army?
- 1207
- 01:25:53,899 --> 01:25:55,891
- Get to Planet Doom,
- and wait for my signal.
- 1208
- 01:25:55,984 --> 01:25:56,974
- What signal?
- 1209
- 01:25:57,277 --> 01:25:58,484
- I'm gonna take down that shield.
- 1210
- 01:25:58,654 --> 01:26:01,067
- Wait, Arty, wait!
- You gotta get out of there! Arty!
- 1211
- 01:26:09,748 --> 01:26:12,206
- Hey, how much are they paying you?
- 1212
- 01:26:12,376 --> 01:26:13,992
- 'Cause, man, I got a lot of paper.
- 1213
- 01:26:14,169 --> 01:26:16,377
- You know, I can make you,
- like, a forest.
- 1214
- 01:26:16,546 --> 01:26:18,663
- Hey, shut up.
- 1215
- 01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:19,921
- Okay.
- 1216
- 01:26:42,572 --> 01:26:44,734
- This isn't real, you're tapping my feed.
- 1217
- 01:26:44,825 --> 01:26:46,817
- Uh-oh. Guys.
- 1218
- 01:27:05,387 --> 01:27:07,925
- F'Nale, they've hacked my rig.
- They're after the girl.
- 1219
- 01:27:08,098 --> 01:27:09,760
- Meet me at loyalty.
- 1220
- 01:27:23,905 --> 01:27:27,319
- Pod 41-F,
- you have exceeded your break time.
- 1221
- 01:27:27,492 --> 01:27:31,202
- Report to security or your coin count
- will be reset to zero.
- 1222
- 01:27:40,172 --> 01:27:44,792
- So, she just walks out of here,
- how does that happen?
- 1223
- 01:27:44,968 --> 01:27:47,005
- They're smart.
- They knew what they were doing.
- 1224
- 01:27:47,179 --> 01:27:49,922
- But we know they're in Columbus.
- And now, all 5 of them are together.
- 1225
- 01:27:50,098 --> 01:27:52,431
- Wait. Wait, we know what?
- How do we know?
- 1226
- 01:27:52,601 --> 01:27:56,185
- We have the make and model of the van.
- We'll spot them.
- 1227
- 01:27:56,354 --> 01:27:58,311
- "We'll spot them"?
- 1228
- 01:27:58,482 --> 01:28:01,566
- That sounds like a great inscription
- for our tombstones.
- 1229
- 01:28:01,735 --> 01:28:03,101
- Why didn't you tell me this earlier?
- 1230
- 01:28:03,278 --> 01:28:04,689
- It wasn't relevant yet.
- 1231
- 01:28:04,863 --> 01:28:05,944
- I need to know where they are.
- 1232
- 01:28:06,114 --> 01:28:07,480
- We need to know. We need to find them!
- 1233
- 01:28:07,657 --> 01:28:10,525
- They're kids, Nolan. Man the hell up!
- 1234
- 01:28:10,702 --> 01:28:13,740
- Do your job, and I'll do mine,
- unless you wanna take this
- 1235
- 01:28:13,914 --> 01:28:15,906
- and go after them yourself.
- 1236
- 01:28:20,504 --> 01:28:21,745
- Find them!
- 1237
- 01:28:30,764 --> 01:28:35,350
- The Complete Nancy Drew,
- Kegel Exercises for...
- 1238
- 01:28:37,020 --> 01:28:39,182
- Bingo. Okay.
- 1239
- 01:28:39,773 --> 01:28:41,856
- "Congratulations, you are
- the proud owner of the Orb of Osuvox,
- 1240
- 01:28:42,025 --> 01:28:43,357
- "a 99th level magic artifact.
- 1241
- 01:28:43,527 --> 01:28:46,645
- "Read these instructions
- before deploying. To turn orb on, off."
- 1242
- 01:28:46,822 --> 01:28:48,154
- Off! Yes, off.
- 1243
- 01:28:48,323 --> 01:28:50,565
- "Utter spell within 10 feet of orb."
- 1244
- 01:29:04,548 --> 01:29:06,585
- Citizens of the OASIS,
- 1245
- 01:29:06,758 --> 01:29:09,045
- I am Parzival, first to the key.
- 1246
- 01:29:09,594 --> 01:29:12,462
- I'm here talking to all of you now
- because our future's being threatened
- 1247
- 01:29:12,639 --> 01:29:15,723
- by people who will stop at nothing
- to win this contest.
- 1248
- 01:29:16,726 --> 01:29:18,467
- Some of you already know this,
- 1249
- 01:29:18,645 --> 01:29:21,934
- and you've lost much more
- than just your avatars or your weapons.
- 1250
- 01:29:22,732 --> 01:29:26,601
- Some have lost their freedom.
- Some have lost their lives.
- 1251
- 01:29:29,114 --> 01:29:31,071
- And now, this.
- 1252
- 01:29:31,908 --> 01:29:34,867
- A force field
- around the third challenge.
- 1253
- 01:29:37,414 --> 01:29:40,532
- I only came here to escape
- the shitty hand that life dealt me.
- 1254
- 01:29:41,418 --> 01:29:44,035
- But I stayed, like many of you,
- 1255
- 01:29:44,212 --> 01:29:48,832
- because I found something
- much bigger than just myself.
- 1256
- 01:29:49,301 --> 01:29:51,088
- I found a cause.
- 1257
- 01:29:52,262 --> 01:29:54,345
- I found my friends.
- 1258
- 01:29:55,557 --> 01:29:58,971
- And yes, I know
- it's kind of a groaner, but...
- 1259
- 01:30:00,312 --> 01:30:01,894
- I found love.
- 1260
- 01:30:03,189 --> 01:30:04,475
- And I don't wanna lose that
- 1261
- 01:30:04,649 --> 01:30:07,312
- to this colossal douchebag,
- Nolan Sorrento.
- 1262
- 01:30:07,485 --> 01:30:10,944
- This guy. Back to work, people.
- 1263
- 01:30:11,698 --> 01:30:14,532
- He thinks that we're all
- too distracted to even notice...
- 1264
- 01:30:15,952 --> 01:30:20,572
- Nolan Sorrento thinks
- that we won't put up a fight.
- 1265
- 01:30:20,749 --> 01:30:21,910
- Sir! Sir!
- 1266
- 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:22,990
- This is going out live!
- 1267
- 01:30:23,084 --> 01:30:24,165
- The only thing
- Halliday let this guy do...
- 1268
- 01:30:24,336 --> 01:30:26,578
- - It's absolutely everywhere.
- - ...was get him a cup of coffee.
- 1269
- 01:30:26,755 --> 01:30:28,417
- And now, we're supposed
- to hand him the OASIS?
- 1270
- 01:30:36,348 --> 01:30:39,091
- This Parzival... Oh, man.
- 1271
- 01:30:43,188 --> 01:30:45,521
- Come on, come on. Give me this thing.
- 1272
- 01:30:45,690 --> 01:30:46,806
- Yes, sir.
- 1273
- 01:30:47,525 --> 01:30:49,482
- Left arm.
- 1274
- 01:30:49,653 --> 01:30:51,986
- - Left arm!
- - Sir.
- 1275
- 01:30:52,155 --> 01:30:53,987
- No, I need the left arm.
- 1276
- 01:30:54,157 --> 01:30:56,444
- No, I don't care if... I want it on.
- 1277
- 01:30:58,578 --> 01:31:01,036
- He thinks
- that we won't even put up a fight!
- 1278
- 01:31:01,122 --> 01:31:03,739
- Well, I say he's wrong.
- 1279
- 01:31:03,917 --> 01:31:07,536
- I say, tell that to the gunter clans
- in the gold mines of Gygax.
- 1280
- 01:31:07,712 --> 01:31:10,876
- Activate the Iron Giant.
- 1281
- 01:31:35,031 --> 01:31:39,947
- Ask yourselves, are you willing
- to zero out for the OASIS?
- 1282
- 01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:41,986
- Are you willing to fight?
- 1283
- 01:31:43,456 --> 01:31:45,869
- I am Parzival of the High Five.
- 1284
- 01:31:46,042 --> 01:31:48,625
- In the name of Art3mis,
- in the name of Aech,
- 1285
- 01:31:48,795 --> 01:31:50,912
- in the name of Daito and Sho,
- 1286
- 01:31:51,506 --> 01:31:54,044
- we ask you to join us on Planet Doom.
- 1287
- 01:31:55,051 --> 01:31:58,010
- In the name of James Halliday himself,
- 1288
- 01:31:58,179 --> 01:32:00,171
- help us save the OASIS.
- 1289
- 01:32:55,195 --> 01:32:57,562
- No, no, no, no.
- 1290
- 01:33:07,707 --> 01:33:10,245
- "No man is a failure who has friends."
- 1291
- 01:33:32,440 --> 01:33:35,604
- Squadron 14, armor up,
- you're in the lead.
- 1292
- 01:33:48,540 --> 01:33:51,248
- 1 minute into Swordquest,
- the ice broke.
- 1293
- 01:33:52,961 --> 01:33:56,545
- Well, all three Swordquests.
- What's next?
- 1294
- 01:33:56,714 --> 01:33:58,376
- Dark Cavern, Laser Blast.
- 1295
- 01:33:58,550 --> 01:33:59,631
- It's Adventure.
- 1296
- 01:33:59,801 --> 01:34:01,884
- Released in 1979, for the 2600,
- 1297
- 01:34:02,053 --> 01:34:03,589
- Adventure was created by
- Warren Robinett,
- 1298
- 01:34:03,763 --> 01:34:06,130
- who was the first video game designer
- ever to hide his name. In fact...
- 1299
- 01:34:06,307 --> 01:34:08,299
- Try Adventure.
- 1300
- 01:34:09,561 --> 01:34:11,052
- Play Adventure.
- 1301
- 01:35:03,448 --> 01:35:05,610
- More than a minute, we're still alive.
- 1302
- 01:35:05,783 --> 01:35:07,570
- This must be the right game.
- 1303
- 01:35:14,584 --> 01:35:17,372
- How long does it last, this orb thing?
- 1304
- 01:35:24,844 --> 01:35:27,427
- I'd say about 10...
- 1305
- 01:35:27,597 --> 01:35:30,681
- Yeah, about 10 million years,
- so we should be fine.
- 1306
- 01:35:48,159 --> 01:35:49,866
- First to the key!
- 1307
- 01:35:50,036 --> 01:35:51,698
- First to the egg!
- 1308
- 01:35:51,871 --> 01:35:54,534
- First to the egg!
- 1309
- 01:36:23,069 --> 01:36:24,150
- Adventure.
- 1310
- 01:36:40,586 --> 01:36:42,794
- What? Come on!
- 1311
- 01:37:12,410 --> 01:37:13,992
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- 1312
- 01:37:16,164 --> 01:37:18,747
- The Sixers are in the final challenge.
- It's an Atari 2600.
- 1313
- 01:37:18,916 --> 01:37:20,623
- Are you in the Sixer war room?
- 1314
- 01:37:21,169 --> 01:37:22,580
- No, no, no. You gotta get out of there.
- 1315
- 01:37:22,754 --> 01:37:24,416
- They're playing Adventure.
- 1316
- 01:37:25,048 --> 01:37:27,290
- Adventure, of course!
- 1317
- 01:37:27,467 --> 01:37:28,924
- Created by Warren Robinett!
- 1318
- 01:37:29,093 --> 01:37:30,629
- He was the first designer
- to ever hide an Easter egg in...
- 1319
- 01:37:30,803 --> 01:37:31,793
- Dude!
- 1320
- 01:37:36,851 --> 01:37:39,514
- We're looking for a USPS truck,
- Ohio plates,
- 1321
- 01:37:39,687 --> 01:37:42,680
- a drone spitter, 2036 model.
- 1322
- 01:38:01,250 --> 01:38:04,584
- Daito! When are you
- getting into this fight?
- 1323
- 01:38:18,309 --> 01:38:19,675
- I'm out. Inventory's empty.
- 1324
- 01:38:19,852 --> 01:38:20,842
- Last clip for me.
- 1325
- 01:38:21,020 --> 01:38:22,056
- More weapons!
- 1326
- 01:38:22,230 --> 01:38:26,315
- Anti-personnel ordinance cannon!
- 1327
- 01:38:29,278 --> 01:38:31,941
- Railgun!
- 1328
- 01:38:37,161 --> 01:38:38,322
- Yo, Z!
- 1329
- 01:38:38,871 --> 01:38:42,490
- Yo, Z! Try this little guy.
- 1330
- 01:38:46,087 --> 01:38:47,248
- Ow!
- 1331
- 01:38:47,755 --> 01:38:49,587
- Get rid of it! Get rid of it!
- 1332
- 01:38:50,716 --> 01:38:52,503
- It's fucking Chucky!
- 1333
- 01:38:57,849 --> 01:38:59,340
- Move! Move!
- 1334
- 01:38:59,934 --> 01:39:01,425
- Go, go, go!
- 1335
- 01:39:59,202 --> 01:40:00,693
- Mechagodzilla!
- 1336
- 01:40:21,891 --> 01:40:25,225
- Daito, we need you! Daito, now!
- 1337
- 01:40:25,394 --> 01:40:27,556
- Get to the bridge.
- Go now, he's distracted.
- 1338
- 01:40:27,647 --> 01:40:28,637
- Go, go, go.
- 1339
- 01:41:09,981 --> 01:41:10,971
- Z!
- 1340
- 01:41:30,918 --> 01:41:31,908
- Arty!
- 1341
- 01:41:32,003 --> 01:41:34,245
- Get to the castle!
- Win the third key before they do!
- 1342
- 01:41:46,017 --> 01:41:47,224
- What is that?
- 1343
- 01:41:47,393 --> 01:41:50,101
- He's only got 30 seconds
- before changing back!
- 1344
- 01:42:01,324 --> 01:42:04,192
- Daito, abort, abort! You got 10 seconds!
- 1345
- 01:42:18,883 --> 01:42:20,090
- First to the egg!
- 1346
- 01:42:59,548 --> 01:43:00,834
- Shit, it's her.
- 1347
- 01:43:20,903 --> 01:43:23,441
- Arty! Arty!
- 1348
- 01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:26,448
- Z! Got to get to the castle!
- 1349
- 01:43:32,790 --> 01:43:35,373
- She never left. She's still here.
- 1350
- 01:43:38,337 --> 01:43:39,828
- The girl's in the war room.
- 1351
- 01:44:18,002 --> 01:44:19,538
- No, no, no.
- 1352
- 01:44:33,684 --> 01:44:36,222
- Sho! Hang on!
- 1353
- 01:44:55,664 --> 01:44:57,246
- No!
- 1354
- 01:45:19,730 --> 01:45:21,221
- Arty, we've got this.
- You need to log out.
- 1355
- 01:45:21,649 --> 01:45:24,232
- If the game is Adventure,
- why haven't they won yet?
- 1356
- 01:45:24,401 --> 01:45:26,108
- I don't know. Arty, Arty.
- 1357
- 01:45:26,278 --> 01:45:28,190
- I'm serious, Sorrento's crazy.
- He'll kill you.
- 1358
- 01:45:30,449 --> 01:45:31,906
- What are you looking at?
- 1359
- 01:45:32,409 --> 01:45:34,150
- There's nothing over there.
- 1360
- 01:45:35,204 --> 01:45:36,194
- You're in trouble, aren't you?
- 1361
- 01:45:39,667 --> 01:45:43,035
- Samantha, you know I love you.
- 1362
- 01:45:43,212 --> 01:45:44,419
- Not the time, Z.
- 1363
- 01:45:44,588 --> 01:45:45,874
- I can handle the challenge,
- 1364
- 01:45:46,048 --> 01:45:47,880
- but I can't let you get hurt
- in the real world.
- 1365
- 01:45:49,134 --> 01:45:52,298
- Get out of IOI,
- and meet us at River South.
- 1366
- 01:45:58,686 --> 01:46:00,222
- Wade, no.
- 1367
- 01:46:00,396 --> 01:46:02,103
- You'll forgive me for this, I promise.
- 1368
- 01:46:02,273 --> 01:46:03,389
- Wade, no, no, no.
- 1369
- 01:46:13,534 --> 01:46:16,527
- Get it together, Sixer. Back to respawn.
- 1370
- 01:46:16,996 --> 01:46:18,157
- Let's go, move.
- 1371
- 01:46:18,330 --> 01:46:19,537
- You're in.
- 1372
- 01:46:37,808 --> 01:46:40,266
- Holy hand grenade!
- How much did that cost?
- 1373
- 01:46:40,436 --> 01:46:42,894
- Less than it's gonna cost them.
- 1374
- 01:46:44,023 --> 01:46:45,514
- What is that?
- 1375
- 01:46:55,910 --> 01:46:58,448
- Sir, the gunters are approaching
- the challenge.
- 1376
- 01:46:58,621 --> 01:47:00,487
- - i-R0k?
- - In position, sir.
- 1377
- 01:47:00,623 --> 01:47:01,613
- Prepare my rig.
- 1378
- 01:47:01,916 --> 01:47:04,533
- The ice is holding. Still going.
- 1379
- 01:47:14,887 --> 01:47:16,048
- Wait.
- 1380
- 01:47:16,221 --> 01:47:17,337
- He's trying to win.
- 1381
- 01:47:20,726 --> 01:47:23,264
- Yeah! I won.
- 1382
- 01:47:26,774 --> 01:47:28,561
- He lost.
- 1383
- 01:47:28,734 --> 01:47:30,726
- Not Adventure.
- 1384
- 01:47:34,865 --> 01:47:39,155
- Everyone who wins loses.
- 1385
- 01:47:39,328 --> 01:47:42,617
- It's not about winning.
- It's about playing.
- 1386
- 01:47:43,749 --> 01:47:45,786
- Remember Halliday's announcement.
- 1387
- 01:47:46,251 --> 01:47:48,493
- The keys are invisible,
- and they're hidden in a dark room
- 1388
- 01:47:48,671 --> 01:47:50,628
- that's at the center of a maze.
- 1389
- 01:47:51,256 --> 01:47:54,749
- Well, there's a secret in Adventure,
- and you don't find it by winning.
- 1390
- 01:47:54,927 --> 01:47:57,340
- You find it
- by wandering around in a dark room.
- 1391
- 01:47:57,846 --> 01:47:59,382
- Until you get to the invisible dot.
- 1392
- 01:47:59,556 --> 01:48:01,092
- It's pretty easy
- if you know what you're doing.
- 1393
- 01:48:01,266 --> 01:48:02,507
- Really?
- 1394
- 01:48:03,435 --> 01:48:05,472
- Let me finish it for you.
- 1395
- 01:48:09,775 --> 01:48:11,016
- It's your last chance, Wade.
- 1396
- 01:48:11,694 --> 01:48:14,437
- Last chance. Give me the key.
- 1397
- 01:48:14,613 --> 01:48:18,698
- I give you 50 million
- in your account right now.
- 1398
- 01:48:19,660 --> 01:48:21,401
- Why the hell would I ever do that?
- 1399
- 01:48:23,205 --> 01:48:24,867
- Dude! That's the Cataclyst.
- 1400
- 01:48:25,165 --> 01:48:26,872
- Now, personally, I don't care.
- 1401
- 01:48:27,042 --> 01:48:28,624
- I'd just as soon
- never set foot in the OASIS again,
- 1402
- 01:48:28,794 --> 01:48:30,786
- let alone have to deal
- with any of this absurdity.
- 1403
- 01:48:30,963 --> 01:48:34,252
- But I know how important
- Halliday's competition is to you, so...
- 1404
- 01:48:36,176 --> 01:48:40,420
- I will never let the future of the OASIS
- rest in your hands, Nolan Sorrento.
- 1405
- 01:48:40,597 --> 01:48:44,466
- Well, that's fine.
- 3 easy steps. One.
- 1406
- 01:48:44,643 --> 01:48:46,930
- Wait, I thought you were bluffing.
- You know that kills all of us, right?
- 1407
- 01:48:47,104 --> 01:48:49,016
- I've got 10 years' worth of shit
- inside of me.
- 1408
- 01:48:49,189 --> 01:48:50,680
- Last chance. Two.
- 1409
- 01:48:50,858 --> 01:48:52,065
- I'm not goin' out like that.
- 1410
- 01:48:52,234 --> 01:48:53,315
- That's a camper move.
- 1411
- 01:48:53,485 --> 01:48:54,646
- You don't even know
- how to activate an orb.
- 1412
- 01:49:07,082 --> 01:49:08,163
- Yeah, I felt those.
- 1413
- 01:49:09,585 --> 01:49:11,668
- But this is my world, Sorrento.
- 1414
- 01:49:15,632 --> 01:49:16,873
- Hadouken!
- 1415
- 01:49:36,487 --> 01:49:38,945
- - No, no, no!
- - Step 3.
- 1416
- 01:49:39,114 --> 01:49:40,821
- No, no, no!
- 1417
- 01:50:38,340 --> 01:50:40,002
- Get me out of this thing.
- 1418
- 01:50:54,481 --> 01:50:55,813
- Uh...
- 1419
- 01:50:55,899 --> 01:50:57,140
- Guys?
- 1420
- 01:51:03,740 --> 01:51:05,572
- Z. He's still alive!
- 1421
- 01:51:13,500 --> 01:51:15,287
- Extra life.
- 1422
- 01:51:17,713 --> 01:51:19,124
- Thanks, Curator.
- 1423
- 01:51:22,009 --> 01:51:23,125
- Hold on.
- 1424
- 01:51:30,893 --> 01:51:32,885
- Live feed in all OASIS channels.
- 1425
- 01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:35,933
- Halliday's letting everyone
- watch the end of the contest.
- 1426
- 01:51:36,106 --> 01:51:37,313
- That's so Halliday.
- 1427
- 01:51:37,482 --> 01:51:39,565
- God damn it, we tried Adventure.
- 1428
- 01:51:39,735 --> 01:51:41,021
- No, we tried to win it.
- 1429
- 01:51:41,195 --> 01:51:43,608
- But the hidden room isn't
- at the end of the game.
- 1430
- 01:51:43,780 --> 01:51:46,523
- You've gotta go straight
- to the invisible dot at the start.
- 1431
- 01:51:59,963 --> 01:52:00,953
- Is that her?
- 1432
- 01:52:01,256 --> 01:52:05,250
- Red hair, IOI uniform,
- doesn't know what planet she's on?
- 1433
- 01:52:05,344 --> 01:52:06,380
- That's her.
- 1434
- 01:52:18,232 --> 01:52:20,940
- I'm Toshiro. You know me as Daito.
- 1435
- 01:52:23,862 --> 01:52:24,898
- Oh.
- 1436
- 01:52:27,658 --> 01:52:29,069
- Hey, Arty.
- 1437
- 01:52:31,119 --> 01:52:35,113
- Yeah, I know.
- Not what you were expecting, huh?
- 1438
- 01:52:35,290 --> 01:52:39,830
- Yeah, I wasn't expecting
- a late '30s-model postal van.
- 1439
- 01:52:41,922 --> 01:52:42,912
- Wade?
- 1440
- 01:52:43,632 --> 01:52:45,874
- Wait, I thought the Cataclyst went off.
- How are you still playing?
- 1441
- 01:52:46,051 --> 01:52:48,543
- Extra life, long story.
- Sorry I shot you.
- 1442
- 01:52:50,889 --> 01:52:52,346
- Sho?
- 1443
- 01:52:52,516 --> 01:52:54,883
- What? Do I have to wear a sign saying,
- 1444
- 01:52:55,060 --> 01:52:58,019
- "I am 11 years old, shoot me first"?
- No, thanks.
- 1445
- 01:52:58,188 --> 01:53:00,350
- - Dude, give me a hug.
- - Ninjas don't hug!
- 1446
- 01:53:00,440 --> 01:53:01,931
- All right, everybody,
- hold on to somethin'.
- 1447
- 01:53:23,839 --> 01:53:25,125
- Got you.
- 1448
- 01:53:28,885 --> 01:53:30,592
- Come on, Nolan. Pick up.
- 1449
- 01:53:32,806 --> 01:53:35,344
- F'Nale, tell me something good.
- 1450
- 01:53:35,642 --> 01:53:38,009
- I've got a drone on their tail.
- I'm close.
- 1451
- 01:53:38,186 --> 01:53:39,222
- Send me coordinates.
- 1452
- 01:53:39,396 --> 01:53:41,604
- Maybe you should
- leave this to me, Nolan.
- 1453
- 01:53:43,483 --> 01:53:46,066
- Nolan? Nolan.
- 1454
- 01:53:47,529 --> 01:53:48,645
- Out.
- 1455
- 01:53:57,622 --> 01:54:00,080
- Give me that.
- 1456
- 01:54:03,795 --> 01:54:05,502
- What's goin' on out there?
- 1457
- 01:54:09,885 --> 01:54:12,343
- The game is over for them.
- What are they watching?
- 1458
- 01:54:14,848 --> 01:54:17,135
- The final key! It's being broadcast.
- 1459
- 01:54:19,227 --> 01:54:20,718
- You see,
- 1460
- 01:54:20,896 --> 01:54:23,434
- Warren Robinett was proud of Adventure.
- 1461
- 01:54:23,607 --> 01:54:25,815
- He wanted people to know
- who was behind it.
- 1462
- 01:54:26,693 --> 01:54:29,231
- That's why he created
- the first digital Easter egg
- 1463
- 01:54:29,404 --> 01:54:31,942
- and to find it,
- you didn't even have to win.
- 1464
- 01:54:32,115 --> 01:54:36,109
- You just had to blindly play,
- searching around
- 1465
- 01:54:36,286 --> 01:54:39,370
- in rooms for an invisible dot.
- 1466
- 01:54:40,415 --> 01:54:42,828
- You took the dot back to the main screen
- 1467
- 01:54:43,001 --> 01:54:47,462
- and that's when you found the first
- Easter egg ever put in a video game.
- 1468
- 01:54:47,631 --> 01:54:48,872
- The creator's name.
- 1469
- 01:55:13,573 --> 01:55:15,360
- What's going on, man? I can't see shit.
- 1470
- 01:55:15,659 --> 01:55:17,025
- Parzival just got the Crystal Key!
- 1471
- 01:55:32,342 --> 01:55:34,049
- Do you want it or not?
- 1472
- 01:55:37,389 --> 01:55:39,176
- Aech, what the hell's going on?
- 1473
- 01:55:39,474 --> 01:55:41,306
- Just practicing my Mario Kart.
- What do you think?
- 1474
- 01:55:41,476 --> 01:55:43,513
- IOI's trying to kill us, man!
- 1475
- 01:55:57,784 --> 01:55:59,946
- Everyone watching,
- if you're in the Columbus stacks,
- 1476
- 01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:01,406
- this is Parzival.
- 1477
- 01:56:01,580 --> 01:56:04,197
- My real-world name is Wade Watts,
- and we're gonna need your help.
- 1478
- 01:56:04,374 --> 01:56:05,785
- Aech, head for the stacks!
- 1479
- 01:56:05,959 --> 01:56:07,575
- Okay, hold on!
- 1480
- 01:56:32,861 --> 01:56:34,818
- Stick the key in, how hard is it?
- 1481
- 01:56:40,535 --> 01:56:41,696
- Come on.
- 1482
- 01:56:49,169 --> 01:56:51,161
- Yeah! Yes!
- 1483
- 01:57:07,395 --> 01:57:08,602
- That's it?
- 1484
- 01:57:09,439 --> 01:57:10,475
- Yeah, that's it.
- 1485
- 01:57:10,649 --> 01:57:15,644
- Now, you just sign these papers,
- and the OASIS is yours.
- 1486
- 01:57:15,820 --> 01:57:19,939
- You will be its sole proprietor.
- 1487
- 01:57:20,116 --> 01:57:21,573
- That ain't so bad, is it?
- 1488
- 01:57:43,431 --> 01:57:44,467
- I'm gonna need a second.
- 1489
- 01:58:13,169 --> 01:58:15,161
- This is wrong.
- 1490
- 01:58:15,797 --> 01:58:18,665
- This pen, this contract.
- 1491
- 01:58:21,928 --> 01:58:23,510
- This is the moment
- that Halliday made Morrow
- 1492
- 01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:25,546
- sign over his shares in Gregarious.
- 1493
- 01:58:26,266 --> 01:58:28,349
- That was the biggest mistake
- of his life.
- 1494
- 01:58:28,935 --> 01:58:31,052
- He knew that.
- 1495
- 01:58:32,814 --> 01:58:34,851
- This can't be the end.
- 1496
- 01:58:36,067 --> 01:58:37,774
- It's a test.
- 1497
- 01:58:42,324 --> 01:58:44,987
- I won't make the same mistake you did.
- 1498
- 01:58:50,707 --> 01:58:52,573
- Oh, good.
- 1499
- 01:58:55,295 --> 01:58:58,709
- I just needed to be sure.
- 1500
- 01:59:12,729 --> 01:59:14,937
- This is where you grew up.
- 1501
- 01:59:24,199 --> 01:59:26,566
- Oh, that's just me a long time ago.
- 1502
- 01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:29,868
- I like to have him around
- from time to time.
- 1503
- 01:59:30,747 --> 01:59:32,363
- Hey, I have to show you something.
- 1504
- 01:59:33,041 --> 01:59:34,577
- This... Come on.
- 1505
- 01:59:34,751 --> 01:59:36,413
- This is the button.
- 1506
- 01:59:36,586 --> 01:59:39,704
- If you push it,
- the whole simulation shuts down
- 1507
- 01:59:39,881 --> 01:59:43,340
- and a tapeworm program will erase
- all of the backup servers.
- 1508
- 01:59:43,510 --> 01:59:46,753
- So you now have the power
- to turn the OASIS off forever.
- 1509
- 01:59:47,263 --> 01:59:48,845
- Do you understand?
- 1510
- 01:59:54,270 --> 01:59:55,260
- Yeah,
- 1511
- 01:59:55,438 --> 01:59:57,225
- try not to accidentally erase
- 1512
- 01:59:57,399 --> 02:00:00,062
- the whole of the OASIS
- on your first day.
- 1513
- 02:00:09,452 --> 02:00:11,159
- The stacks are straight ahead!
- 1514
- 02:00:26,970 --> 02:00:29,758
- Well, I expect you have to go.
- I know I do.
- 1515
- 02:00:29,931 --> 02:00:32,298
- So, now is the time for you
- to receive your prize
- 1516
- 02:00:32,475 --> 02:00:34,842
- because you won all three keys.
- 1517
- 02:00:35,019 --> 02:00:39,013
- Once you take this egg,
- the game will be over.
- 1518
- 02:00:39,733 --> 02:00:42,771
- The egg, the egg...
- 1519
- 02:00:50,243 --> 02:00:52,485
- We know what you did here.
- 1520
- 02:00:52,662 --> 02:00:55,951
- You turn around and
- walk out of here while you still can.
- 1521
- 02:01:08,595 --> 02:01:10,962
- I created the OASIS
- 1522
- 02:01:11,139 --> 02:01:14,803
- because I never felt at home
- in the real world.
- 1523
- 02:01:15,894 --> 02:01:19,183
- I just didn't know how to connect
- with the people there.
- 1524
- 02:01:20,356 --> 02:01:23,224
- I was afraid for all of my life.
- 1525
- 02:01:23,860 --> 02:01:26,603
- Right up until the day
- I knew my life was ending.
- 1526
- 02:01:32,243 --> 02:01:36,078
- Now, that... That was when
- I realized that,
- 1527
- 02:01:37,248 --> 02:01:42,334
- as terrifying and painful
- as reality can be,
- 1528
- 02:01:43,213 --> 02:01:47,207
- it's also the only place
- 1529
- 02:01:48,885 --> 02:01:50,501
- that you can get a decent meal.
- 1530
- 02:01:57,185 --> 02:01:58,676
- Because
- 1531
- 02:02:00,438 --> 02:02:02,020
- reality
- 1532
- 02:02:07,195 --> 02:02:08,686
- is real.
- 1533
- 02:02:08,863 --> 02:02:10,570
- You understand what I'm saying?
- 1534
- 02:02:12,408 --> 02:02:15,025
- Yes. Yes, I do.
- 1535
- 02:02:24,838 --> 02:02:26,079
- He did it.
- 1536
- 02:02:27,799 --> 02:02:29,256
- He got the egg.
- 1537
- 02:02:30,093 --> 02:02:31,334
- Hooray.
- 1538
- 02:02:32,512 --> 02:02:34,128
- - No!
- - No! Please!
- 1539
- 02:03:07,714 --> 02:03:08,955
- Hold it!
- 1540
- 02:03:11,050 --> 02:03:14,043
- Drop the gun! Now! On the ground!
- 1541
- 02:03:14,804 --> 02:03:17,387
- Turn around! Hands on your head.
- 1542
- 02:03:17,557 --> 02:03:19,093
- Walk back towards me.
- 1543
- 02:03:34,824 --> 02:03:39,239
- Mr. Halliday.
- Something I don't understand.
- 1544
- 02:03:40,079 --> 02:03:42,787
- You're not an avatar, are you?
- 1545
- 02:03:43,416 --> 02:03:45,032
- No.
- 1546
- 02:03:46,586 --> 02:03:48,578
- Is Halliday really dead?
- 1547
- 02:03:50,256 --> 02:03:51,838
- Yes.
- 1548
- 02:03:57,597 --> 02:03:59,338
- Then what are you?
- 1549
- 02:04:02,602 --> 02:04:04,559
- Goodbye, Parzival.
- 1550
- 02:04:06,230 --> 02:04:07,311
- Thanks.
- 1551
- 02:04:08,858 --> 02:04:11,066
- Thanks for playing my game.
- 1552
- 02:04:40,098 --> 02:04:41,384
- Wade?
- 1553
- 02:04:42,809 --> 02:04:44,550
- - Ogden Morrow?
- - Ogden Morrow?
- 1554
- 02:04:44,727 --> 02:04:46,343
- You can call me "Og."
- 1555
- 02:04:46,521 --> 02:04:49,264
- Now, there are some people out here
- that would very much like to meet you.
- 1556
- 02:04:49,857 --> 02:04:52,520
- Wow, this is incredible.
- 1557
- 02:04:53,111 --> 02:04:55,854
- It's an honor to meet you, Og, but I...
- 1558
- 02:05:00,076 --> 02:05:01,738
- There's something I need to do first.
- 1559
- 02:05:05,665 --> 02:05:07,406
- I'm not like Halliday.
- 1560
- 02:05:11,170 --> 02:05:13,207
- I'm taking the leap.
- 1561
- 02:05:29,689 --> 02:05:30,896
- We're looking for Wade Watts.
- 1562
- 02:05:32,817 --> 02:05:34,900
- We need you to make a statement
- about the clip you sent in
- 1563
- 02:05:35,069 --> 02:05:36,981
- of Nolan Sorrento's confession.
- 1564
- 02:05:37,280 --> 02:05:39,363
- Uh, that was me.
- 1565
- 02:05:40,033 --> 02:05:42,571
- What? I record everything
- in my workshop.
- 1566
- 02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:50,866
- Help me out of this.
- 1567
- 02:05:57,216 --> 02:05:58,502
- Who are you guys?
- 1568
- 02:05:59,510 --> 02:06:03,800
- The people you need right now, lawyers.
- From Gregarious Games.
- 1569
- 02:06:06,642 --> 02:06:08,258
- They want your signature, Wade.
- 1570
- 02:06:16,235 --> 02:06:18,318
- I'm splitting it with my clan.
- 1571
- 02:06:18,488 --> 02:06:20,275
- We're gonna run things together.
- 1572
- 02:06:24,827 --> 02:06:26,864
- That's a good choice.
- 1573
- 02:06:54,816 --> 02:06:57,854
- F'Nale, listen to me very carefully.
- 1574
- 02:07:07,078 --> 02:07:09,821
- Mr. Morrow... I mean, Og,
- 1575
- 02:07:09,997 --> 02:07:11,283
- how'd you get here so fast?
- 1576
- 02:07:11,457 --> 02:07:13,619
- I flew from the stars
- on my magic sleigh.
- 1577
- 02:07:14,210 --> 02:07:16,623
- Everyone's been watching.
- 1578
- 02:07:16,796 --> 02:07:20,005
- Of course, I've been watching
- a little closer than most.
- 1579
- 02:07:24,053 --> 02:07:25,464
- You?
- 1580
- 02:07:25,972 --> 02:07:27,179
- You're the Curator?
- 1581
- 02:07:30,935 --> 02:07:33,143
- Well played, Parzival.
- 1582
- 02:07:34,397 --> 02:07:36,263
- Jim told me nothing about the contest,
- 1583
- 02:07:36,440 --> 02:07:39,649
- so there was no rule
- about me losing a bet to a smart kid.
- 1584
- 02:07:39,819 --> 02:07:41,481
- Not that you needed my help.
- 1585
- 02:07:42,446 --> 02:07:46,406
- You figured out that Kira was the key
- on your own.
- 1586
- 02:07:46,784 --> 02:07:49,401
- Yeah, but... Kira wasn't the key.
- 1587
- 02:07:50,746 --> 02:07:52,612
- It was you, Mr. Morrow.
- 1588
- 02:07:54,750 --> 02:07:56,412
- You were the Rosebud.
- 1589
- 02:07:56,586 --> 02:07:58,794
- And Halliday's biggest regret was
- 1590
- 02:08:00,506 --> 02:08:02,088
- losing his only friend.
- 1591
- 02:08:06,345 --> 02:08:08,507
- You know, Jim used to say the OASIS
- 1592
- 02:08:08,681 --> 02:08:11,139
- was never supposed to be
- a one-player game.
- 1593
- 02:08:14,854 --> 02:08:17,471
- Now, who do we have here?
- 1594
- 02:08:17,648 --> 02:08:20,140
- Oh. Well, look who it is.
- 1595
- 02:08:20,318 --> 02:08:21,900
- It's my heroes, the High Five.
- 1596
- 02:08:22,069 --> 02:08:23,560
- - You must be Art3mis.
- - Samantha.
- 1597
- 02:08:23,738 --> 02:08:25,525
- The High Five took over the OASIS,
- 1598
- 02:08:25,698 --> 02:08:27,155
- and the first thing we did
- 1599
- 02:08:27,325 --> 02:08:30,659
- was sign Ogden Morrow
- to a non-exclusive consultancy.
- 1600
- 02:08:30,828 --> 02:08:33,662
- The salary, per his demand,
- 1601
- 02:08:33,831 --> 02:08:36,915
- was 25 cents. One quarter.
- 1602
- 02:08:40,296 --> 02:08:42,538
- With his guidance,
- our second move was to ban
- 1603
- 02:08:42,715 --> 02:08:45,378
- any loyalty centers
- from accessing the OASIS.
- 1604
- 02:08:46,177 --> 02:08:49,591
- IOI had no choice.
- They shut 'em all down.
- 1605
- 02:08:52,391 --> 02:08:54,849
- The third thing we did
- wasn't as popular.
- 1606
- 02:08:55,394 --> 02:08:58,512
- We closed the OASIS
- on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- 1607
- 02:08:59,398 --> 02:09:01,731
