00:01:14,891 --> 00:01:18,793
Get ready for the
feel, the feel of real. X1.
3
00:01:18,795 --> 00:01:20,300
No pain, no gain.
4
00:01:41,482 --> 00:01:42,826
Pizza, guys.
5
00:01:48,523 --> 00:01:49,676
Whoo-hoo!
6
00:02:03,531 --> 00:02:05,000
Hello, Wade.
7
00:02:05,002 --> 00:02:06,665
Hello, Mrs. Gilmore.
8
00:02:06,667 --> 00:02:09,194
What's the matter?
Life getting you down?
9
00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:16,360
I was born in 2027.
10
00:02:16,362 --> 00:02:19,816
After the Corn Syrup Droughts,
after the Bandwidth Riots.
11
00:02:19,818 --> 00:02:22,120
After people stopped trying
to fix problems
12
00:02:22,122 --> 00:02:24,267
and just tried
to outlive them.
13
00:02:30,442 --> 00:02:33,001
My parents, they didn't make
it through those times,
14
00:02:33,003 --> 00:02:36,808
so I live here in Columbus,
Ohio, with my Aunt Alice.
15
00:02:36,810 --> 00:02:41,929
In 2045, Columbus is the
fastest-growing city on Earth.
16
00:02:41,931 --> 00:02:45,067
It's where Halliday and Morrow
started Gregarious Games.
17
00:02:49,610 --> 00:02:52,104
These days,
reality is a bummer.
18
00:02:52,106 --> 00:02:53,992
Everyone is looking
for a way to escape,
19
00:02:53,994 --> 00:02:55,271
and that's why Halliday...
20
00:02:55,273 --> 00:02:58,185
That's why he was
such a hero to us.
21
00:02:58,187 --> 00:03:01,546
He showed us that we could go somewhere
without going anywhere at all.
22
00:03:03,465 --> 00:03:04,969
You don't need a destination
23
00:03:04,971 --> 00:03:06,824
when you're running on
an omnidirectional treadmill
24
00:03:06,826 --> 00:03:09,003
with quadraphonic,
pressure-sensitive underlay.
25
00:03:09,771 --> 00:03:12,265
James Halliday saw the future.
26
00:03:12,267 --> 00:03:13,928
And then he built it.
27
00:03:13,930 --> 00:03:16,009
He gave us a place to go.
28
00:03:16,011 --> 00:03:18,248
A place called
29
00:03:18,250 --> 00:03:19,563
the OASIS.
30
00:03:32,202 --> 00:03:34,505
This is the OASIS.
31
00:03:34,507 --> 00:03:38,444
It's a place where the limits of
reality are your own imagination.
32
00:03:51,371 --> 00:03:53,356
You can do anything...
33
00:03:54,345 --> 00:03:55,307
...go anywhere.
34
00:03:56,683 --> 00:03:58,473
Like the vacation planet.
35
00:03:58,475 --> 00:04:01,159
Surf a 50-foot monster wave
in Hawaii.
36
00:04:01,161 --> 00:04:03,945
You can ski down the pyramids.
37
00:04:03,946 --> 00:04:05,769
You can climb Mount Everest
38
00:04:05,771 --> 00:04:07,147
with Batman.
39
00:04:09,802 --> 00:04:13,097
Check out this place. It's a
casino the size of a planet.
40
00:04:13,099 --> 00:04:14,888
You can lose your money there.
41
00:04:14,890 --> 00:04:17,000
You can get married.
You can get divorced.
42
00:04:17,002 --> 00:04:20,680
You can...
You can go in there.
43
00:04:20,682 --> 00:04:23,656
People come to the OASIS for
all the things they can do,
44
00:04:23,658 --> 00:04:26,826
but they stay because of all
the things they can be.
45
00:04:28,331 --> 00:04:31,944
Tall, beautiful, scary,
a different sex,
46
00:04:31,946 --> 00:04:35,049
a different species,
live-action, cartoon.
47
00:04:35,051 --> 00:04:37,544
It's all your call.
48
00:04:37,545 --> 00:04:40,745
Yeah, that's me.
Well, that's my avatar.
49
00:04:40,747 --> 00:04:44,552
At least, until I feel
like changing it.
50
00:04:44,554 --> 00:04:46,696
Except for eating, sleeping,
and bathroom breaks,
51
00:04:46,698 --> 00:04:50,601
whatever people wanna do,
they do it in the OASIS.
52
00:04:50,603 --> 00:04:53,481
And since everyone is here, this
is where we meet each other.
53
00:04:53,483 --> 00:04:54,953
It's where we make friends.
54
00:04:54,955 --> 00:04:57,192
Locate Aech.
55
00:04:57,194 --> 00:04:59,179
Locating Aech.
56
00:05:02,123 --> 00:05:03,912
Aech located.
57
00:05:03,914 --> 00:05:07,272
Sector 12. Planet Doom.
58
00:05:07,274 --> 00:05:10,473
Planet Doom, the most
dangerous place in the OASIS,
59
00:05:10,475 --> 00:05:13,449
and a pretty great place
to pick up coin.
60
00:05:13,451 --> 00:05:14,923
Figures Aech would be there.
61
00:05:17,482 --> 00:05:20,809
Aech is my best friend
in the OASIS.
62
00:05:20,811 --> 00:05:23,176
He's my best friend, period.
63
00:05:23,178 --> 00:05:25,898
Even though I've never actually
met him in the real world.
64
00:05:29,833 --> 00:05:31,881
- What's up, Aech?
- Hey, what up, Z?
65
00:05:31,883 --> 00:05:34,408
Next race is in 20 minutes,
and I can't do the late one.
66
00:05:34,410 --> 00:05:36,040
What the hell are you up to?
67
00:05:36,042 --> 00:05:38,569
Man, gettin' my kills on, bro.
68
00:05:38,571 --> 00:05:39,561
Is that Daito?
69
00:05:39,563 --> 00:05:41,227
Daito and Sho.
70
00:05:47,242 --> 00:05:48,840
This an artifact hunt?
71
00:05:48,842 --> 00:05:51,048
Yup. Gregarious 120.
72
00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:55,433
Turn into any giant robot
for two minutes. That's rad.
73
00:05:55,435 --> 00:05:56,684
Artifacts.
74
00:05:57,450 --> 00:06:00,200
Those were key.
75
00:06:00,202 --> 00:06:02,281
Halliday made sure
the OASIS was littered
76
00:06:02,283 --> 00:06:04,872
with enough
randomly powerful stuff
77
00:06:04,874 --> 00:06:09,065
that anyone could win
if they had the skills.
78
00:06:09,067 --> 00:06:11,785
Death matches and artifact hunts
are a good way to coin-snatch,
79
00:06:11,787 --> 00:06:14,441
but depending on your level
of armor, they're risky.
80
00:06:15,882 --> 00:06:17,929
You see,
everyone starts the same,
81
00:06:17,931 --> 00:06:19,529
but the more coin you make...
82
00:06:19,531 --> 00:06:21,608
- Mom! Mom!
- ...the more you level up.
83
00:06:21,610 --> 00:06:23,432
If you get killed, your avatar
can come back to life...
84
00:06:23,434 --> 00:06:24,681
Go get your dad!
85
00:06:24,683 --> 00:06:26,092
...but you lose
all your stuff.
86
00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:29,707
Everything you've
ever worked for.
87
00:06:30,410 --> 00:06:32,008
All your money.
88
00:06:33,963 --> 00:06:35,240
Your clothes.
89
00:06:36,907 --> 00:06:38,889
Your weapons.
90
00:06:38,891 --> 00:06:41,385
Since people spend most of
their time in the OASIS...
91
00:06:44,106 --> 00:06:45,672
...losing your shit means...
92
00:06:45,674 --> 00:06:48,392
Well, losing your shit.
93
00:06:50,474 --> 00:06:53,000
Aech, 10 minutes
until the race starts.
94
00:06:53,002 --> 00:06:55,112
Okay, Mom, I heard you.
95
00:06:55,114 --> 00:06:59,080
You see, the OASIS was the
brainchild of James Halliday.
96
00:06:59,082 --> 00:07:03,784
He and his partner, Ogden Morrow,
released the first OASIS build in 2025.
97
00:07:03,786 --> 00:07:07,880
It was an instant success, and
it made them both very rich.
98
00:07:07,882 --> 00:07:11,368
But Morrow was out of the picture
after a few years. And Halliday?
99
00:07:11,370 --> 00:07:14,568
He wasn't just the owner of
the world's biggest company.
100
00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:18,344
He was like a god.
People loved him.
101
00:07:18,346 --> 00:07:20,232
They worshiped him
as much as his creation.
102
00:07:20,234 --> 00:07:23,144
Maybe we should stop
talking about it
103
00:07:23,146 --> 00:07:25,544
and start, uh, showing it.
104
00:07:25,545 --> 00:07:27,752
If you all wanna reach
under your seats,
105
00:07:27,754 --> 00:07:29,800
you'll find that there's nothing there.
106
00:07:29,802 --> 00:07:34,025
But we're gonna... we're each
gonna bring you one now.
107
00:07:34,027 --> 00:07:37,993
And then,
on January 7, 2040...
108
00:07:40,522 --> 00:07:41,675
He died.
109
00:07:44,586 --> 00:07:46,428
And what he left behind
110
00:07:47,083 --> 00:07:49,515
changed everything.
111
00:08:01,547 --> 00:08:05,416
Hello. I am James Halliday.
112
00:08:05,418 --> 00:08:08,904
If you're watching this,
I'm dead.
113
00:08:08,906 --> 00:08:15,849
Before I died, I created what we
in the biz call an "Easter egg."
114
00:08:15,851 --> 00:08:22,412
A hidden object in a game that gives
special powers to whoever discovers it.
115
00:08:23,658 --> 00:08:26,312
The first person
to find the egg
116
00:08:26,314 --> 00:08:29,416
I've hidden somewhere
inside the OASIS
117
00:08:29,418 --> 00:08:33,288
will inherit my stock
in Gregarious Games,
118
00:08:33,290 --> 00:08:37,000
currently valued in excess
of half a million do...
119
00:08:37,002 --> 00:08:39,881
Uh, half a trillion
dollars' worth,
120
00:08:39,883 --> 00:08:46,088
and total control
of the OASIS itself.
121
00:08:46,090 --> 00:08:51,560
In the form of my avatar,
Anorak the All-Knowing,
122
00:08:51,562 --> 00:08:55,080
I created three keys.
123
00:08:55,082 --> 00:08:58,384
Three hidden challenges
test for worthy traits
124
00:08:58,386 --> 00:09:02,737
revealing three hidden keys
to three magic gates.
125
00:09:02,739 --> 00:09:06,736
And those with the skill
to survive these straits
126
00:09:06,738 --> 00:09:11,345
will reach the end,
where the prize awaits.
127
00:09:11,347 --> 00:09:13,747
Off you go, keys.
128
00:09:15,794 --> 00:09:20,592
The keys aren't just laying
around under a rock somewhere.
129
00:09:20,594 --> 00:09:23,408
I suppose you could say
they're invisible,
130
00:09:23,410 --> 00:09:26,992
hidden in a dark room
that's at the center of a maze
131
00:09:26,994 --> 00:09:29,779
that's located somewhere
132
00:09:30,738 --> 00:09:33,072
up here.
133
00:09:33,074 --> 00:09:36,754
Let the hunt
for Halliday's Easter egg
134
00:09:37,586 --> 00:09:38,832
begin.
135
00:09:44,627 --> 00:09:47,153
The challenge
is to find three keys,
136
00:09:47,155 --> 00:09:50,608
but in five years, no one
has even gotten one key.
137
00:09:50,610 --> 00:09:53,488
And the big scoreboard?
Still empty.
138
00:09:53,490 --> 00:09:55,153
Some long-forgotten gunter
cracked the first clue
139
00:09:55,155 --> 00:09:56,944
and found the first challenge.
140
00:09:56,945 --> 00:09:59,728
Then, this portal appeared.
141
00:09:59,730 --> 00:10:03,049
But the challenge to win the first
key was a race designed by Halliday
142
00:10:03,051 --> 00:10:05,928
that was so hard,
no one had ever finished it.
143
00:10:05,930 --> 00:10:09,479
The only ones still trying are the
gunters, as in "egg hunters,"
144
00:10:09,481 --> 00:10:12,904
like me and Sho and Daito,
and my best friend, Aech.
145
00:10:12,906 --> 00:10:16,360
Oh, and of course, the Sixers.
146
00:10:16,362 --> 00:10:17,480
The Sixers work for IOI...
147
00:10:17,482 --> 00:10:19,208
Sixers!
148
00:10:19,210 --> 00:10:20,872
...Innovative
Online Industries.
149
00:10:20,874 --> 00:10:22,280
They're the second-largest
company in the world
150
00:10:22,282 --> 00:10:24,425
with designs
on becoming the first.
151
00:10:24,427 --> 00:10:26,119
Which is why they're putting
everything they got
152
00:10:26,121 --> 00:10:27,593
into winning
Halliday's contest.
153
00:10:27,594 --> 00:10:29,163
Buckle up!
154
00:10:29,961 --> 00:10:32,104
Sit in!
155
00:10:32,106 --> 00:10:34,665
We call 'em "Sixers"
'cause that's the company rule.
156
00:10:34,666 --> 00:10:37,608
No name, just numbers.
157
00:10:37,610 --> 00:10:40,520
They have a support team
made up of Halliday scholars.
158
00:10:40,522 --> 00:10:43,113
Like me, they spend all their
time studying pop culture
159
00:10:43,115 --> 00:10:44,712
that Halliday
was obsessed with,
160
00:10:44,714 --> 00:10:46,571
trying to find clues
to solve the contest.
161
00:10:49,131 --> 00:10:51,944
They're just following
the orders of the head of IOI,
162
00:10:51,945 --> 00:10:54,698
this dickweed
named Nolan Sorrento.
163
00:11:00,682 --> 00:11:02,248
How'd you get here before me?
164
00:11:02,249 --> 00:11:04,392
Well, I didn't make a pit stop
at the hair salon.
165
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:06,983
- What up, Z?
- What's up, Aech?
166
00:11:06,985 --> 00:11:08,232
Saved you a spot.
167
00:11:08,234 --> 00:11:09,544
Thanks, bro.
168
00:11:13,546 --> 00:11:15,048
I gotta go to the back.
169
00:11:15,050 --> 00:11:17,608
Ugh. So you can skim coins
from crashed cars?
170
00:11:17,609 --> 00:11:20,263
- That's just sad, man.
- Fuel's low.
171
00:11:20,265 --> 00:11:23,720
Oh, but you still had enough to pay
for that Something About Mary hairdo.
172
00:12:03,466 --> 00:12:04,520
First to the key.
173
00:12:05,770 --> 00:12:06,888
First to the egg!
174
00:12:54,250 --> 00:12:56,043
Aech, are you seeing this?
175
00:12:58,731 --> 00:13:01,063
Yeah, I see it. That's
Kaneda's bike from Akira.
176
00:13:01,065 --> 00:13:03,208
It's a licensed skin
over a standard frame.
177
00:13:03,209 --> 00:13:05,960
No, not the bike.
Forget the bike.
178
00:13:05,962 --> 00:13:07,721
The girl,
I think it's Art3mis.
179
00:13:07,723 --> 00:13:09,928
The Art3mis? The Sixer Fixer?
180
00:13:09,930 --> 00:13:12,743
I've seen all her walk-throughs,
her Twitch streams.
181
00:13:12,745 --> 00:13:14,570
It's her. It's definitely her.
182
00:14:57,321 --> 00:14:59,307
Go, go, go!
Get there! Come on!
183
00:15:04,906 --> 00:15:06,018
You got it, you got it!
184
00:15:15,050 --> 00:15:16,363
Balls.
185
00:15:21,642 --> 00:15:22,602
She's not gonna make it.
186
00:15:25,482 --> 00:15:27,239
Bail! Bail out!
187
00:15:27,241 --> 00:15:28,202
Bail!
188
00:15:34,153 --> 00:15:35,722
Ow!
189
00:16:04,873 --> 00:16:06,503
Damn, I loved that bike.
190
00:16:06,505 --> 00:16:08,104
Oh, Aech could...
191
00:16:08,106 --> 00:16:10,250
Well, he's my friend,
but he could fix it for you.
192
00:16:17,354 --> 00:16:20,008
This is my workshop.
Touch nothing.
193
00:16:26,091 --> 00:16:28,328
Where did you find
an Iron Giant?
194
00:16:28,330 --> 00:16:30,888
Find it? I'm building it.
That's a commission.
195
00:16:30,890 --> 00:16:33,735
Oh, yeah. Aech is
top-rated on the mod boards.
196
00:16:33,737 --> 00:16:36,649
People all over the OASIS
pay him serious coin.
197
00:16:36,651 --> 00:16:38,920
Oh, hey, check this out!
198
00:16:38,922 --> 00:16:41,801
Hey. Z, yo.
199
00:16:41,803 --> 00:16:44,168
- The Galactica, of course.
- These are my babies, all right, man?
200
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:45,863
Sulaco, from Aliens.
201
00:16:45,865 --> 00:16:48,168
Dude, how are you
showing off my shit?
202
00:16:48,170 --> 00:16:49,863
Valley Forge, from Silent Running.
Oh, where's the Harkonnen Drop-Ship?
203
00:16:49,865 --> 00:16:52,327
That thing is sick.
Folds space like a boss.
204
00:16:52,329 --> 00:16:54,311
I mean, you can get from Incipio
to Arrakis in three seconds...
205
00:16:54,313 --> 00:16:55,815
Fingers!
206
00:16:55,817 --> 00:16:57,384
You'll have to excuse him.
207
00:16:57,386 --> 00:16:59,433
He gets a little nervous
around pretty girls.
208
00:17:06,251 --> 00:17:08,586
I can fix it in 10 minutes.
209
00:17:09,930 --> 00:17:12,425
Yup. He's pretty great.
210
00:17:12,427 --> 00:17:15,368
I assume you and Shoulder
Blades are clanned up.
211
00:17:15,370 --> 00:17:17,544
Oh, Aech? Nah.
212
00:17:17,546 --> 00:17:22,313
I mean, he's really good,
but I don't clan.
213
00:17:22,314 --> 00:17:24,905
Oh, 'cause you're Parzival,
214
00:17:24,907 --> 00:17:27,368
as in the knight who found
the Holy Grail by himself.
215
00:17:27,370 --> 00:17:29,288
What about you, Art3mis?
216
00:17:29,290 --> 00:17:32,106
Goddess of the hunt. Clans must
be killing to sign you up.
217
00:17:33,674 --> 00:17:35,560
- Favorite shooter?
- Excuse me?
218
00:17:35,562 --> 00:17:37,447
James Halliday's
favorite first-person shooter.
219
00:17:37,449 --> 00:17:38,951
- What?
- Oh. GoldenEye.
220
00:17:38,953 --> 00:17:41,225
- Playing as?
- Oddjob. Is this a test?
221
00:17:41,227 --> 00:17:42,888
Favorite game variant?
222
00:17:42,890 --> 00:17:44,424
Game variant was "slappers
only." No weapons.
223
00:17:44,426 --> 00:17:46,024
I know what "slappers only" means.
Racer?
224
00:17:46,026 --> 00:17:48,233
Turbo. And his favorite food
was Hot Pockets.
225
00:17:48,234 --> 00:17:50,119
Favorite restaurant
was Chuck E Cheese.
226
00:17:50,121 --> 00:17:52,359
Song was Video Killed the
Radio Star by the Buggles.
227
00:17:52,361 --> 00:17:54,183
Video was Take on Me by A-ha.
228
00:17:54,185 --> 00:17:58,601
Oh, oh... His favorite
quote was from Superman.
229
00:17:58,603 --> 00:18:00,488
"Some people
can read War and Peace
230
00:18:00,490 --> 00:18:02,600
"and come away thinking it's
a simple adventure story..."
231
00:18:02,602 --> 00:18:04,969
"Others can read the ingredients on
the back of a chewing-gum wrapper
232
00:18:04,971 --> 00:18:07,720
"and unlock the secrets
of the universe."
233
00:18:07,722 --> 00:18:10,247
Lex Luthor.
234
00:18:10,249 --> 00:18:12,616
Cool.
235
00:18:12,618 --> 00:18:16,391
What would you do? If you won.
The whole contest, I mean.
236
00:18:16,393 --> 00:18:19,368
Oh! I mean, I've got tons
of plans in the real world.
237
00:18:19,370 --> 00:18:24,107
I'd... I'd move into a huge mansion,
buy a bunch of cool shit, not be poor.
238
00:18:25,131 --> 00:18:28,872
Now I know
why you stopped short.
239
00:18:28,874 --> 00:18:31,719
I stopped because of Kong. No
one ever makes it past Kong.
240
00:18:31,721 --> 00:18:34,087
That... That's...
That's, like, a rule.
241
00:18:34,089 --> 00:18:37,288
Well, then you know it can't be true.
Because Halliday hated making rules.
242
00:18:37,289 --> 00:18:38,952
I can't afford to zero out.
243
00:18:38,954 --> 00:18:40,488
- You're afraid to lose your shit.
- No, I'm not!
244
00:18:40,490 --> 00:18:42,183
What happens when IOI
offers you guaranteed coin
245
00:18:42,185 --> 00:18:43,335
for the keys to the kingdom?
246
00:18:43,337 --> 00:18:45,768
Nolan Sorrento
takes over the world.
247
00:18:45,770 --> 00:18:49,928
A real gunter would risk everything
to save the OASIS from IOI.
248
00:18:49,930 --> 00:18:51,367
Who said that?
249
00:18:51,369 --> 00:18:52,715
Me.
250
00:18:54,891 --> 00:18:56,712
There you go. Good as new.
251
00:18:56,714 --> 00:18:59,083
Thanks for the fix-up, my man.
252
00:19:08,234 --> 00:19:10,249
That's better.
253
00:19:10,251 --> 00:19:14,059
I'll wave to you
from the finish line, McFly.
254
00:19:17,514 --> 00:19:18,760
That went well.
255
00:19:18,762 --> 00:19:20,583
Thanks to you,
Captain Big Mouth.
256
00:19:20,585 --> 00:19:23,688
Wade? Wade?
Where the hell are my gloves?
257
00:19:23,690 --> 00:19:25,579
Shit. I gotta go.
258
00:19:28,457 --> 00:19:30,665
X1.
259
00:19:30,667 --> 00:19:33,320
When I'm after gold on Planet Doom,
I need every edge I can get.
260
00:19:33,322 --> 00:19:37,096
Every push, punch, gunshot,
you feel it all.
261
00:19:37,098 --> 00:19:41,448
Get ready for the
feel, the feel of real. X1.
262
00:19:41,450 --> 00:19:43,689
The X1 is like
wearing a second skin.
263
00:19:43,691 --> 00:19:45,546
A skin that kicks ass.
264
00:19:47,242 --> 00:19:50,024
I zeroed out 'cause
of your broke-ass gloves.
265
00:19:50,026 --> 00:19:51,399
Who told you to use them?
266
00:19:51,401 --> 00:19:53,386
You took hers.
267
00:19:54,442 --> 00:19:56,359
So you lost a death match.
268
00:19:56,361 --> 00:20:00,104
Why don't you just respawn and
level up like everyone else?
269
00:20:00,105 --> 00:20:01,992
You don't get it.
270
00:20:01,994 --> 00:20:04,327
I bought all these power-ups for
this challenge, and I lost it all.
271
00:20:04,329 --> 00:20:05,929
That artifact
was gonna pay for the house!
272
00:20:05,931 --> 00:20:07,720
Wait.
273
00:20:07,722 --> 00:20:11,559
How much of our house money
did you spend on upgrades?
274
00:20:11,561 --> 00:20:14,313
Well, all of it,
but I was gonna win.
275
00:20:14,315 --> 00:20:17,066
That was our ticket
out of here.
276
00:20:19,402 --> 00:20:21,064
You idiot.
277
00:20:21,066 --> 00:20:22,983
No, but I only lost 'cause
of the bad gloves.
278
00:20:22,985 --> 00:20:24,679
Our house! Our goddamn house!
279
00:20:24,681 --> 00:20:26,119
My boys
were in that challenge.
280
00:20:26,121 --> 00:20:28,519
You couldn't have beat them
in a bootsuit, you noob.
281
00:20:28,521 --> 00:20:31,559
Stop! No! No!
282
00:20:31,561 --> 00:20:32,809
Alice, call the police!
283
00:20:32,811 --> 00:20:34,408
No, we are not
calling the cops.
284
00:20:34,410 --> 00:20:36,199
Go to your room, Rick.
285
00:20:36,201 --> 00:20:38,439
Aw, come on, Alice.
286
00:20:38,441 --> 00:20:42,280
Why do you put up with this guy?
He's a shitshow.
287
00:20:42,282 --> 00:20:46,663
I ought to kick the both of you out.
I swear to G-O-D, Wade Watts,
288
00:20:46,665 --> 00:20:49,128
if I catch you
touching my stuff again,
289
00:20:49,130 --> 00:20:51,755
not joking... Out.
290
00:20:58,410 --> 00:21:00,649
"Wade Watts."
291
00:21:00,651 --> 00:21:02,343
My dad picked that name
292
00:21:02,345 --> 00:21:04,489
because it sounded
like a superhero's alter ego,
293
00:21:04,491 --> 00:21:08,008
like Peter Parker
or Bruce Banner.
294
00:21:08,010 --> 00:21:09,993
But he died when I was a kid.
295
00:21:09,995 --> 00:21:13,065
My mom, too,
and I ended up here,
296
00:21:13,066 --> 00:21:14,889
living with Aunt Alice
297
00:21:14,891 --> 00:21:17,163
and her endless string
of hard-loving losers.
298
00:21:19,722 --> 00:21:22,665
"Halliday hated making rules."
299
00:21:22,666 --> 00:21:25,163
Why is that line
sticking in my head?
300
00:21:27,434 --> 00:21:30,824
Maybe it's 'cause Art3mis
said it, and she's hot.
301
00:21:30,826 --> 00:21:33,000
Maybe it's because
she called me out,
302
00:21:33,002 --> 00:21:36,039
sitting here
in my tiny corner of nowhere,
303
00:21:36,041 --> 00:21:38,664
protecting my small slice
of nothing.
304
00:21:38,666 --> 00:21:40,840
Or maybe...
305
00:21:40,842 --> 00:21:43,240
Maybe it's because
that line means something
306
00:21:43,242 --> 00:21:44,679
and I missed it.
307
00:21:47,562 --> 00:21:49,064
The day the contest
was announced,
308
00:21:49,066 --> 00:21:51,304
the Halliday Journals
appeared.
309
00:21:51,306 --> 00:21:54,344
He told us to look in his brain.
This was the next best thing.
310
00:21:54,345 --> 00:21:57,704
At first, it was jammed with
gunters looking for answers.
311
00:21:57,706 --> 00:22:00,039
Now, the once-crowded halls
of Halliday's memories
312
00:22:00,041 --> 00:22:01,448
are left to people like me.
313
00:22:01,450 --> 00:22:03,912
Parzival. Oh, joy!
314
00:22:03,914 --> 00:22:07,463
And how will you eat up
my valuable search time today?
315
00:22:07,465 --> 00:22:09,544
Gregarious Games, 2029...
Office party.
316
00:22:09,546 --> 00:22:12,584
Office party. Yes, you've only
seen it a thousand times.
317
00:22:12,585 --> 00:22:15,239
Why not go back?
318
00:22:15,241 --> 00:22:18,792
Each entry into Halliday's
Journals is meticulously assembled
319
00:22:18,794 --> 00:22:21,192
from personal photographs,
home video recordings,
320
00:22:21,194 --> 00:22:23,048
surveillance, and nanny cams.
321
00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:26,728
All rendered into a three-dimensional
virtual experience.
322
00:22:26,729 --> 00:22:30,248
Also, Halliday archived every film,
game, book, and television program
323
00:22:30,250 --> 00:22:33,448
he ever saw,
located on the mezzanine.
324
00:22:33,450 --> 00:22:36,679
No weapons or mature-themed avatars
are permitted within the Journals.
325
00:22:36,681 --> 00:22:40,520
Please enjoy your time with
us, and happy gunting!
326
00:22:40,522 --> 00:22:42,280
I like cleaning up.
327
00:22:42,282 --> 00:22:44,554
Okay, Jim,
I'm, uh... I'm going.
328
00:22:49,130 --> 00:22:51,975
Everything changes, Jim.
Everything evolves.
329
00:22:51,977 --> 00:22:55,399
Some things are perfect
just the way they are. Asteroids.
330
00:22:55,401 --> 00:22:59,243
People don't live inside
an Asteroids arcade cabinet.
331
00:23:00,553 --> 00:23:02,343
I know that.
332
00:23:02,345 --> 00:23:04,489
Yeah, well, people are living
inside the arcade we built.
333
00:23:04,491 --> 00:23:06,376
- I built.
- Uh, well...
334
00:23:06,378 --> 00:23:09,160
Right. Well, I guess you
can say whatever you want.
335
00:23:09,162 --> 00:23:10,631
I don't really wanna
talk about it anymore.
336
00:23:10,633 --> 00:23:11,753
No, of course
you don't wanna talk about it.
337
00:23:11,754 --> 00:23:13,129
You're forcing me out.
338
00:23:13,131 --> 00:23:14,599
Closer on Halliday.
339
00:23:14,601 --> 00:23:16,392
Look, invention
comes with responsibilities
340
00:23:16,394 --> 00:23:18,472
you didn't ask for.
341
00:23:18,474 --> 00:23:20,583
All right, if you make
something people want or need
342
00:23:20,585 --> 00:23:23,273
then it's up to you to set the limits.
You have to make some rules.
343
00:23:23,274 --> 00:23:24,616
"I don't wanna
make any more rules."
344
00:23:24,618 --> 00:23:26,568
I don't wanna make
any more rules.
345
00:23:26,570 --> 00:23:27,943
"I'm a dreamer."
346
00:23:27,945 --> 00:23:29,193
I'm a dreamer.
347
00:23:29,195 --> 00:23:32,008
- I build worlds.
- "I build worlds."
348
00:23:32,009 --> 00:23:34,663
We created something beautiful,
Jim, but it's changed.
349
00:23:34,665 --> 00:23:36,039
Okay? It's really
not a game anymore.
350
00:23:36,041 --> 00:23:37,799
Are we finished?
351
00:23:37,801 --> 00:23:41,898
I liked how things were
when they were...
352
00:23:43,529 --> 00:23:45,608
When it was a game.
353
00:23:45,610 --> 00:23:48,263
And we're back to where we started.
But that's the point, isn't it?
354
00:23:48,265 --> 00:23:50,471
Things move forward
whether you like it or not.
355
00:23:50,473 --> 00:23:52,520
Yeah, we're finished.
356
00:23:52,522 --> 00:23:54,283
Fine.
357
00:23:56,233 --> 00:24:00,042
Why can't we
go backwards, for once?
358
00:24:02,122 --> 00:24:06,344
Backwards, really fast.
Fast as we can.
359
00:24:06,346 --> 00:24:08,359
Really put the pedal to
the metal, you know?
360
00:24:08,361 --> 00:24:10,760
Go back 10 seconds!
361
00:24:10,762 --> 00:24:15,400
Why can't we go backwards,
for once?
362
00:24:15,402 --> 00:24:19,625
Backwards, really fast.
Fast as we can.
363
00:24:19,627 --> 00:24:22,059
Really put the pedal to
the metal, you know?
364
00:24:23,082 --> 00:24:25,000
Bill and Ted did it.
365
00:24:45,257 --> 00:24:47,178
Back again so soon?
366
00:24:48,906 --> 00:24:50,954
Careful not to lose your shit.
367
00:24:54,891 --> 00:24:57,160
You figured something out.
368
00:24:57,162 --> 00:24:59,243
Parzival, tell me.
369
00:26:35,274 --> 00:26:39,912
Nice racing, Padawan.
You're the first to finish.
370
00:26:39,914 --> 00:26:44,203
Mr. Halliday... Anorak.
371
00:26:45,547 --> 00:26:47,049
It's such an honor.
372
00:26:47,051 --> 00:26:49,003
The honor is all mine.
373
00:26:59,690 --> 00:27:01,546
Get yourself a clue.
374
00:27:16,487 --> 00:27:18,791
Who is this Parzival, and
how the hell is he winning?
375
00:27:18,793 --> 00:27:21,512
Well, here's a better question.
Who cares?
376
00:27:21,514 --> 00:27:23,529
Halliday's contest
is vitally important.
377
00:27:23,531 --> 00:27:26,504
I mean, it's nothing less than a
war for control of the future.
378
00:27:26,505 --> 00:27:29,415
But this Parzival?
He's not even clanned up.
379
00:27:29,417 --> 00:27:32,808
He's alone. We have an army.
380
00:27:32,810 --> 00:27:34,280
And yet,
he's got the first key.
381
00:27:34,282 --> 00:27:36,072
Yeah, he has a key,
382
00:27:36,074 --> 00:27:38,951
but you have to get three
of 'em to win the contest.
383
00:27:38,953 --> 00:27:41,704
Our stock dove 6% yesterday.
384
00:27:41,706 --> 00:27:45,513
Loyalty division is reporting
profits of 28%. F'Nale.
385
00:27:45,515 --> 00:27:48,233
We're opening five new
loyalty centers this month.
386
00:27:48,234 --> 00:27:50,183
Debt Services dwarfs Hardware.
387
00:27:50,185 --> 00:27:52,168
Now, you really wanna talk
to me about stock prices?
388
00:27:52,169 --> 00:27:54,119
The shareholders
won't be happy.
389
00:27:54,121 --> 00:27:56,681
It's not our job to make them happy.
It's our job to make them money,
390
00:27:56,683 --> 00:28:00,555
but once we launch this little
baby, they're gonna flip.
391
00:28:01,834 --> 00:28:04,905
We call this Pure O2.
392
00:28:04,906 --> 00:28:06,728
This is the first
of our planned upgrades.
393
00:28:06,730 --> 00:28:09,224
Once we can roll back some of
Halliday's ad restrictions,
394
00:28:09,226 --> 00:28:13,127
we estimate
we can sell up to 80%
395
00:28:13,129 --> 00:28:18,311
of an individual's visual field before
inducing seizures, so picture this...
396
00:28:18,313 --> 00:28:21,194
All of this implies
we win the contest.
397
00:28:24,042 --> 00:28:26,119
Indeed, it does.
398
00:28:27,851 --> 00:28:30,504
Dude, you won the key
and 100,000 coins?
399
00:28:30,506 --> 00:28:31,752
As soon as I took the key,
400
00:28:31,754 --> 00:28:33,769
all the coins
just appeared in my account.
401
00:28:33,771 --> 00:28:35,766
I'll tell you what, I'm
soiling my haptics right now.
402
00:28:39,465 --> 00:28:41,193
What the hell's a Cataclyst?
403
00:28:41,195 --> 00:28:44,808
A bomb. Kills every avatar
on a planet, even the owner.
404
00:28:44,810 --> 00:28:45,992
Who'd want that?
405
00:28:45,994 --> 00:28:47,914
IOI.
They buy everything.
406
00:28:49,034 --> 00:28:51,911
Twenty-thou
for the holy hand grenade?
407
00:28:51,913 --> 00:28:53,515
That's a steal!
408
00:28:55,754 --> 00:28:59,433
Whoa! Zemeckis Cube!
I need one of those.
409
00:28:59,435 --> 00:29:01,035
Okay, don't spend
all your money.
410
00:29:04,361 --> 00:29:06,762
X1 haptic bootsuit.
411
00:29:20,811 --> 00:29:22,155
Oh, yeah!
412
00:30:13,034 --> 00:30:16,042
i-R0k, old friend.
How are you?
413
00:30:18,186 --> 00:30:19,783
To be honest,
I have kind of a neck thing.
414
00:30:19,785 --> 00:30:21,672
It's like a carpel-tunnel deal
415
00:30:21,674 --> 00:30:23,464
but with your neck,
if that's even a thing.
416
00:30:23,466 --> 00:30:25,991
So if you could just stand
to... to your right.
417
00:30:25,993 --> 00:30:26,954
My right, your left.
418
00:30:29,002 --> 00:30:32,171
Thanks, it's the repetitive stress.
Oh.
419
00:30:33,226 --> 00:30:34,283
Here he is.
420
00:30:36,329 --> 00:30:41,128
The steampunk pirate king.
I knew him well, Sorrento.
421
00:30:41,130 --> 00:30:43,399
There are only three things
in this world I hate,
422
00:30:43,401 --> 00:30:47,208
steampunk, pirates,
and tabbouleh.
423
00:30:47,210 --> 00:30:49,928
I mean,
why do they even have it?
424
00:30:49,930 --> 00:30:52,519
Is there a reason
we're meeting here?
425
00:30:52,521 --> 00:30:57,544
Yes, Nolan. The Orb of Osuvox.
426
00:30:57,546 --> 00:31:00,523
You wanted it. He had it.
And so here it is.
427
00:31:04,393 --> 00:31:08,199
It creates an impenetrable magic
shield that can only be taken down
428
00:31:08,201 --> 00:31:10,279
by a magic spell.
429
00:31:10,281 --> 00:31:12,808
The Orb of Osuvox.
430
00:31:12,809 --> 00:31:13,959
Don't say that again.
431
00:31:13,961 --> 00:31:14,955
Okay.
432
00:31:17,290 --> 00:31:20,839
Now, I'm gonna need you
to keep this for now.
433
00:31:20,841 --> 00:31:22,985
I'm gonna let you know
when I wanna use it.
434
00:31:22,987 --> 00:31:23,947
Okay?
435
00:31:27,275 --> 00:31:31,144
Right now, though,
I have another job for you.
436
00:31:31,146 --> 00:31:32,231
Ah.
437
00:31:32,233 --> 00:31:34,280
Parzival.
438
00:31:34,282 --> 00:31:37,067
Let me guess, you want
him off the scoreboard.
439
00:31:37,930 --> 00:31:39,367
Can you do that?
440
00:31:39,369 --> 00:31:41,799
Well, he's a superstar.
441
00:31:41,801 --> 00:31:43,592
He made it
through the first gate
442
00:31:43,594 --> 00:31:46,087
and avatars are gonna be
on him like hoes on Santa.
443
00:31:46,089 --> 00:31:49,193
i-R0k, how much more
do you want?
444
00:31:49,194 --> 00:31:52,488
That's what I like about you, Nolan.
You never lick.
445
00:31:52,490 --> 00:31:54,440
You bite straight
to the chocolaty center
446
00:31:54,442 --> 00:31:56,681
of the Tootsie Pop.
447
00:31:56,683 --> 00:31:58,984
Remember that old commercial,
with the owl?
448
00:31:58,986 --> 00:31:59,947
i-R0k.
449
00:32:01,866 --> 00:32:03,592
Three times my normal fee.
450
00:32:03,594 --> 00:32:04,969
Done.
451
00:32:04,971 --> 00:32:06,760
Wait, really?
I should have asked for five.
452
00:32:06,762 --> 00:32:08,618
Is four still on the table?
453
00:32:10,987 --> 00:32:13,864
There's five of us
on the big board now.
454
00:32:13,866 --> 00:32:16,360
Art3mis was next,
no surprise there.
455
00:32:16,362 --> 00:32:19,752
She was on the track when I won.
She saw me going backwards.
456
00:32:19,754 --> 00:32:24,584
I gave Aech a tip, made him promise not
to say anything, and then he won next.
457
00:32:24,586 --> 00:32:26,951
I'm pretty sure
he bragged to our pal Daito,
458
00:32:26,953 --> 00:32:29,769
'cause he won right after.
459
00:32:29,771 --> 00:32:33,224
And of course, Daito told
his best friend, Sho...
460
00:32:33,226 --> 00:32:35,273
He totally totaled his car,
461
00:32:35,274 --> 00:32:37,291
but then Sho got it, too.
462
00:32:45,962 --> 00:32:48,104
"A creator who hates
his own creation.
463
00:32:48,105 --> 00:32:52,423
"A hidden key, a leap not taken.
Retrace your steps, escape your past."
464
00:32:52,425 --> 00:32:54,855
"A creator who hates
his own creation.
465
00:32:54,857 --> 00:32:59,303
"A hidden key, a leap not taken.
Retrace your steps, escape your past.
466
00:32:59,305 --> 00:33:01,418
"And the key of jade
will be yours at last."
467
00:33:41,801 --> 00:33:43,626
"Escape your past."
468
00:33:47,210 --> 00:33:49,995
What part of your past are you
trying to escape, Halliday?
469
00:34:01,386 --> 00:34:03,079
- Hey, it's Parzival!
- Dude!
470
00:34:04,490 --> 00:34:05,959
You're, like,
totally my hero!
471
00:34:05,961 --> 00:34:06,888
Hey, Parzival!
Over here!
472
00:34:06,890 --> 00:34:09,127
Dude, you're amazing!
473
00:34:09,129 --> 00:34:11,317
Hey, Parzival! Right here!
Let me get an autograph!
474
00:34:16,874 --> 00:34:18,439
Watch it!
475
00:34:18,441 --> 00:34:22,601
You're famous now! You can't
just go wherever you want!
476
00:34:22,603 --> 00:34:23,943
No, no, no, I...
477
00:34:28,393 --> 00:34:30,410
Huh?
478
00:34:33,801 --> 00:34:36,042
Ahh!
479
00:34:41,929 --> 00:34:45,960
That is... That is not funny.
480
00:34:45,962 --> 00:34:48,521
Oh, God.
481
00:34:48,523 --> 00:34:51,049
Ugh.
482
00:34:51,051 --> 00:34:53,703
Oh, God. Don't you get it?
483
00:34:53,705 --> 00:34:56,105
You're "the Parzival" now.
484
00:34:56,107 --> 00:34:57,482
You have to have a disguise.
485
00:34:59,722 --> 00:35:01,226
Okay, here.
486
00:35:02,474 --> 00:35:04,103
Clark Kent glasses.
487
00:35:04,105 --> 00:35:06,250
They hide your identity
without changing your look.
488
00:35:14,665 --> 00:35:16,008
I'm not wearing that.
489
00:35:25,354 --> 00:35:27,880
This is great.
490
00:35:27,882 --> 00:35:29,864
The way your inventory
bursts out when you die.
491
00:35:29,866 --> 00:35:31,271
They didn't want
any more blood.
492
00:35:31,273 --> 00:35:33,033
This is right before
the OASIS went live.
493
00:35:33,035 --> 00:35:36,488
Six days prior.
December 2nd, 2025.
494
00:35:36,490 --> 00:35:38,440
Check this out.
495
00:35:38,442 --> 00:35:39,946
You know who that is?
496
00:35:41,546 --> 00:35:43,240
Is that Sorrento?
497
00:35:43,242 --> 00:35:45,127
Sorrento started
as an intern.
498
00:35:45,129 --> 00:35:47,463
He claims he learned
at the feet of the master.
499
00:35:47,465 --> 00:35:50,087
That's how he convinced IOI
to create the Sixers for him,
500
00:35:50,089 --> 00:35:51,400
his Halliday knowledge.
501
00:35:51,402 --> 00:35:53,800
But ask Ogden Morrow?
502
00:35:53,802 --> 00:35:57,799
He says the only thing Sorrento
actually knew about Halliday
503
00:35:57,801 --> 00:35:59,209
was how he liked his coffee.
504
00:35:59,211 --> 00:36:01,799
You could have, like,
different tiers of accounts,
505
00:36:01,801 --> 00:36:03,368
like a gold member.
506
00:36:03,370 --> 00:36:06,888
A person could be
silver, platinum, bronze.
507
00:36:06,890 --> 00:36:08,679
You know, depending on
what they paid.
508
00:36:08,681 --> 00:36:11,624
You know, highest one maybe being
"Water" because "OASIS," right?
509
00:36:11,625 --> 00:36:13,479
Hell of a latte.
510
00:36:13,481 --> 00:36:15,464
Can you fast-forward to the
stuff about Halliday's date?
511
00:36:15,465 --> 00:36:17,162
What? Halliday actually went
on a date?
512
00:36:21,162 --> 00:36:22,759
So, what happened?
513
00:36:22,761 --> 00:36:25,863
Nothing. I invited her over.
514
00:36:25,865 --> 00:36:28,391
Well, did you at least
get her name?
515
00:36:28,393 --> 00:36:31,752
Yeah. Kira, I told you, like the
character in The Dark Crystal.
516
00:36:31,754 --> 00:36:33,642
That's her gamer tag.
517
00:36:35,691 --> 00:36:36,616
- Karen.
- Karen.
518
00:36:36,618 --> 00:36:39,048
Yeah, okay? Karen Underwood.
519
00:36:39,050 --> 00:36:42,311
No, no. Karen Underwood,
as in Ogden Morrow's wife?
520
00:36:42,313 --> 00:36:44,231
Just watch.
521
00:36:44,233 --> 00:36:48,039
So, listen, you and Karen Underwood.
What'd you do?
522
00:36:48,041 --> 00:36:50,407
She wanted to go dancing,
523
00:36:50,409 --> 00:36:52,586
so we watched a movie.
524
00:36:53,834 --> 00:36:54,793
And?
525
00:36:56,681 --> 00:36:58,631
Where's the juice?
526
00:36:58,633 --> 00:37:00,552
Give me some juice!
527
00:37:00,554 --> 00:37:04,008
- There is no juice!
- Oh, God!
528
00:37:04,010 --> 00:37:05,415
Hold the phone.
529
00:37:05,417 --> 00:37:09,545
Halliday went on a date
with Ogden Morrow's wife?
530
00:37:09,547 --> 00:37:12,839
Just once, years before they
were even married, but yeah.
531
00:37:12,841 --> 00:37:14,920
And despite that,
and the fact that she died,
532
00:37:14,922 --> 00:37:18,281
the name "Kira" is only mentioned
once in all of Halliday's Journals.
533
00:37:18,283 --> 00:37:19,559
That's not possible.
534
00:37:19,561 --> 00:37:21,383
It is. Look it up.
535
00:37:21,385 --> 00:37:23,720
What we just saw is the only
time she's ever mentioned.
536
00:37:23,722 --> 00:37:25,159
It makes no sense.
537
00:37:25,161 --> 00:37:27,432
She was an important part
of both their lives.
538
00:37:27,434 --> 00:37:29,226
I'll bet you anything.
All my coin.
539
00:37:31,050 --> 00:37:34,760
Search
"Karen Underwood Morrow."
540
00:37:34,762 --> 00:37:37,800
Kira, I told you, like the
character in The Dark Crystal.
541
00:37:37,802 --> 00:37:39,911
That's her gamer tag.
542
00:37:39,913 --> 00:37:42,503
Halliday purposely removed every
mention of her except for this one.
543
00:37:42,505 --> 00:37:43,879
That's weird. Why?
544
00:37:43,881 --> 00:37:45,799
It's like, it was just
so painful for him
545
00:37:45,801 --> 00:37:49,000
to have to see her face
or hear her name.
546
00:37:49,002 --> 00:37:50,599
Well, he loved her.
547
00:37:50,601 --> 00:37:52,391
He couldn't tell that
to Morrow.
548
00:37:52,393 --> 00:37:54,183
Oh, that's sad. He should
have told her how he felt.
549
00:37:54,185 --> 00:37:55,624
Yeah, well,
he missed his chance.
550
00:37:55,626 --> 00:37:57,672
Look.
551
00:37:57,674 --> 00:38:00,744
I found the clue to the race
in the other scene, but...
552
00:38:00,746 --> 00:38:02,089
I've always felt
that the biggest clue
553
00:38:02,091 --> 00:38:03,880
to the contest
was hidden here.
554
00:38:03,882 --> 00:38:05,706
You're right.
555
00:38:06,794 --> 00:38:08,712
I lose.
556
00:38:08,714 --> 00:38:10,439
Don't sweat it, Curator.
557
00:38:10,441 --> 00:38:12,649
You see, Kira is the Rosebud
at the center of his story.
558
00:38:12,651 --> 00:38:13,991
She's the big mystery.
559
00:38:13,993 --> 00:38:16,202
No, no. A bet is a bet.
560
00:38:17,707 --> 00:38:20,648
Oh, wow. A quarter.
You can keep it.
561
00:38:20,650 --> 00:38:22,635
No. You can keep it.
562
00:38:25,865 --> 00:38:27,882
- You free Thursday?
- Who, me?
563
00:38:28,841 --> 00:38:30,474
No, him.
564
00:38:31,691 --> 00:38:33,386
Oh, my God. Yes, you!
565
00:38:35,626 --> 00:38:37,320
You know The Distracted Globe?
566
00:38:37,322 --> 00:38:39,275
Yeah, the dance club.
567
00:38:41,195 --> 00:38:43,912
Meet me there. 10:00 p.m.
568
00:38:43,914 --> 00:38:46,026
There's something
I wanna show you.
569
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:48,075
Uh, bye-bye!
570
00:38:49,162 --> 00:38:51,080
Did she just ask me out?
571
00:38:51,082 --> 00:38:52,871
And I was starting
to like her.
572
00:38:52,873 --> 00:38:54,633
All right.
573
00:38:54,635 --> 00:38:56,075
I don't do that.
574
00:38:59,562 --> 00:39:01,545
Z, I can't believe
you told her about Kira.
575
00:39:01,546 --> 00:39:04,008
What? I told you.
576
00:39:04,010 --> 00:39:07,752
Hey, what about this?
577
00:39:07,754 --> 00:39:10,504
No. Have you considered that
Art3mis could be using you?
578
00:39:10,506 --> 00:39:14,792
Hey, dude, she's giving me a clue.
Maybe I'm the one using her.
579
00:39:14,794 --> 00:39:18,247
Should I go more Thriller?
580
00:39:18,249 --> 00:39:19,563
No.
581
00:39:20,329 --> 00:39:21,383
Punk?
582
00:39:21,385 --> 00:39:22,346
No.
583
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:25,480
Duran Duran.
584
00:39:25,482 --> 00:39:27,432
No.
585
00:39:27,434 --> 00:39:28,359
Does it look like
I'm trying too hard?
586
00:39:28,361 --> 00:39:31,688
Yes! Listen to yourself!
587
00:39:31,690 --> 00:39:34,728
You have a massive cyber crush
on this girl.
588
00:39:34,730 --> 00:39:36,939
She's hacking your heart
to get to your head.
589
00:39:38,634 --> 00:39:40,363
I got it!
590
00:39:41,514 --> 00:39:43,464
- Buckaroo Banzai?
- Yeah!
591
00:39:43,466 --> 00:39:46,600
Really? You're gonna wear the
outfit from your favorite movie?
592
00:39:46,602 --> 00:39:47,720
Don't be that guy.
593
00:39:47,722 --> 00:39:49,865
I am that guy.
594
00:39:49,867 --> 00:39:51,560
Z, you gotta be more careful
about who you meet in the OASIS.
595
00:39:51,562 --> 00:39:54,728
Aech, Art3mis gets me.
She'll get my outfit.
596
00:39:54,730 --> 00:39:57,608
There's just this connection.
I mean, sometimes, we even...
597
00:39:57,610 --> 00:39:59,239
- Finish each other's sentences?
- Yeah!
598
00:39:59,241 --> 00:40:02,025
We have that. Me and you.
599
00:40:02,026 --> 00:40:05,447
Yeah, I know, but that's because
we're best friends, dude.
600
00:40:05,449 --> 00:40:07,303
She could be a dude,
too, dude.
601
00:40:07,305 --> 00:40:08,423
Come on.
602
00:40:08,425 --> 00:40:10,088
I'm serious!
603
00:40:10,090 --> 00:40:12,552
She could actually be
a 300-pound dude
604
00:40:12,554 --> 00:40:15,785
who lives in his mama's
basement in suburban Detroit.
605
00:40:15,787 --> 00:40:17,355
And her name is Chuck.
606
00:40:19,210 --> 00:40:21,704
Think about that.
607
00:40:49,706 --> 00:40:51,049
Whoa, dude,
is that Parzival?
608
00:40:51,051 --> 00:40:52,712
- Parzival!
- Oh, my God, Parzival!
609
00:40:52,714 --> 00:40:55,849
Come here, man.
Hey, can we get a photo?
610
00:40:57,771 --> 00:41:00,008
- Thank you so much!
- Dude, you're my hero!
611
00:41:00,010 --> 00:41:01,226
Hey, Parzival.
612
00:41:03,433 --> 00:41:05,194
Thank you.
613
00:41:18,474 --> 00:41:21,448
Get out of town!
Buckaroo Banzai?
614
00:41:21,449 --> 00:41:23,689
- Huh?
- I like it. I like Buckaroo Banzai.
615
00:41:23,691 --> 00:41:25,288
- Oh, thanks!
- It's great!
616
00:41:25,289 --> 00:41:26,983
- Yeah! You look...
- Oh.
617
00:41:26,985 --> 00:41:28,424
You look awesome!
618
00:41:28,425 --> 00:41:29,385
- Thank you.
- Wow.
619
00:41:31,242 --> 00:41:33,033
A big one, a small one?
620
00:41:33,035 --> 00:41:34,123
A big one!
621
00:41:48,553 --> 00:41:52,264
Get out of here.
622
00:41:52,266 --> 00:41:54,119
What a freak! WOMAN 2:
I thought he was kind of cute.
623
00:41:54,121 --> 00:41:55,400
Have you been here before?
624
00:41:55,402 --> 00:41:57,225
It's cool, right? I mean...
625
00:41:57,226 --> 00:41:59,528
So, what's the plan?
626
00:41:59,530 --> 00:42:01,863
Are you gonna kill their avatars?
Zero them out?
627
00:42:01,865 --> 00:42:03,912
They're both here
at The Distracted Globe.
628
00:42:03,914 --> 00:42:06,280
I can't talk.
629
00:42:06,282 --> 00:42:08,104
The Distracted Globe
was one of the first clubs
630
00:42:08,106 --> 00:42:09,320
Halliday created in the OASIS.
631
00:42:09,322 --> 00:42:10,760
That's common knowledge.
632
00:42:10,762 --> 00:42:13,000
But I double-checked
633
00:42:13,002 --> 00:42:15,368
and it turns out he started building it
right after that moment you showed me.
634
00:42:15,370 --> 00:42:16,391
The date with Kira.
635
00:42:16,393 --> 00:42:18,409
Right, and she was
a serious dancer.
636
00:42:18,411 --> 00:42:20,584
Maybe he thought
he'd take her here,
637
00:42:20,586 --> 00:42:23,112
like on a virtual date.
638
00:42:23,114 --> 00:42:25,129
As if that ever works.
639
00:42:25,131 --> 00:42:26,567
So Halliday built it for her?
640
00:42:26,569 --> 00:42:27,848
But they never made it
past the first date.
641
00:42:27,850 --> 00:42:29,224
So Halliday's the creator...
642
00:42:29,226 --> 00:42:30,504
Who hates his own creation.
643
00:42:30,506 --> 00:42:31,849
And the club
is the thing he hates.
644
00:42:31,851 --> 00:42:33,995
And "A hidden key,
a leap not taken"?
645
00:42:37,322 --> 00:42:38,536
But people jump off it
all night long.
646
00:42:38,538 --> 00:42:40,392
But none of those people
had the Copper Key,
647
00:42:40,394 --> 00:42:44,073
so when we jump off,
maybe it's different. Right?
648
00:42:44,075 --> 00:42:45,035
Right.
649
00:42:47,786 --> 00:42:49,000
So we take it together?
650
00:42:49,002 --> 00:42:50,315
Sure.
651
00:42:52,042 --> 00:42:54,281
We're not clanning up
or anything.
652
00:42:54,283 --> 00:42:57,194
Of course not. I don't clan.
653
00:42:58,282 --> 00:42:59,400
Wait...
654
00:42:59,402 --> 00:43:00,459
Whoa!
655
00:43:01,994 --> 00:43:03,403
Ow! Whoa.
656
00:43:07,914 --> 00:43:11,561
I don't think this is it.
No scoreboard, no obstacles.
657
00:43:11,563 --> 00:43:13,899
- Maybe a dance challenge?
- Huh? Whoa!
658
00:43:28,969 --> 00:43:30,827

00:45:19,754 --> 00:45:20,775
You're not just anyone.
692
00:45:20,777 --> 00:45:22,600
You don't know me.
693
00:45:22,602 --> 00:45:23,689
You don't know anything about me.
We've never met.
694
00:45:23,691 --> 00:45:25,547
I do know you, Arty.
695
00:45:27,274 --> 00:45:28,714
I'm in love with you.
696
00:45:36,905 --> 00:45:39,016
- Is this part of the challenge?
- No.
697
00:45:39,018 --> 00:45:40,331
It's an ambush.
698
00:45:47,530 --> 00:45:50,152
IOI, always in the way.
699
00:45:50,154 --> 00:45:51,911
Did you hear what I said?
I said I'm in love with you.
700
00:45:51,913 --> 00:45:53,226
No, you're not.
701
00:45:54,763 --> 00:45:56,328
You only know
what I want you to know.
702
00:45:56,330 --> 00:45:58,090
You only see
what I want you to see.
703
00:46:00,906 --> 00:46:02,634
That's what
you're in love with.
704
00:46:15,945 --> 00:46:17,034
Watch out!
705
00:46:26,891 --> 00:46:28,235
Pull.
706
00:46:40,362 --> 00:46:43,239
Head back! Z!
Your armor is running low.
707
00:46:43,241 --> 00:46:44,523
I just bought this.
708
00:46:52,267 --> 00:46:53,513
Zemeckis Cube.
709
00:46:53,514 --> 00:46:55,274
Turns everything
back in time 60 seconds.
710
00:46:59,722 --> 00:47:01,451
And you waited
until now to use it?
711
00:47:09,257 --> 00:47:11,466
Wow, you were amazing.
712
00:47:14,505 --> 00:47:16,587
This isn't a game, Z.
713
00:47:17,865 --> 00:47:19,752
I'm doing this to stop IOI.
714
00:47:19,754 --> 00:47:22,151
I'm talking about
real-world consequences.
715
00:47:22,153 --> 00:47:23,689
People suffering.
716
00:47:23,691 --> 00:47:25,480
- Actual life-and-death stuff.
- I know. I know...
717
00:47:25,482 --> 00:47:30,183
No, you don't know! My dad
died in a loyalty center.
718
00:47:30,185 --> 00:47:33,224
- He borrowed gear.
- He built up debt.
719
00:47:33,225 --> 00:47:36,584
He moved in with the promise of
working it off, but he never did.
720
00:47:36,586 --> 00:47:38,408
IOI just raised
his living expenses,
721
00:47:38,410 --> 00:47:39,911
then he got sick, and he
couldn't afford to get out.
722
00:47:39,913 --> 00:47:42,312
And then he died!
723
00:47:42,314 --> 00:47:43,624
I'm so sorry, I didn't...
724
00:47:43,626 --> 00:47:45,639
No, you don't live
in the real world, Z.
725
00:47:45,641 --> 00:47:48,585
From what you've told me,
I don't think you ever have.
726
00:47:48,586 --> 00:47:52,040
You live inside this...
This illusion,
727
00:47:52,042 --> 00:47:53,963
and I can't afford
to let you distract me.
728
00:48:05,931 --> 00:48:08,359
How the hell
did they get away?
729
00:48:08,361 --> 00:48:10,568
Do you want the long version?
Your guys suck.
730
00:48:10,570 --> 00:48:12,199
They failed
to kill his avatar,
731
00:48:12,201 --> 00:48:14,344
which, if we're offering
constructive criticism,
732
00:48:14,346 --> 00:48:17,063
was a lame idea and only
would've slowed him down.
733
00:48:17,065 --> 00:48:21,225
Whereas my plan, which was cool
because I rock, actually worked.
734
00:48:21,226 --> 00:48:22,920
He's still on the board.
735
00:48:22,922 --> 00:48:26,120
I know that, Nolan.
But he won't be for long.
736
00:48:26,122 --> 00:48:28,009
I did a search
for all the Wades
737
00:48:28,011 --> 00:48:30,311
who had recently bought
an X1 bootsuit,
738
00:48:30,313 --> 00:48:33,383
cross-referenced that with
public records, and voila,
739
00:48:33,385 --> 00:48:37,226
which is French for...
"And then I found out."
740
00:48:37,641 --> 00:48:39,528
Ready?
741
00:48:39,530 --> 00:48:43,594
The real-world identity
of Parzival is Wade Watts.
742
00:48:44,361 --> 00:48:45,835
Voila.
743
00:48:47,467 --> 00:48:50,055
Are you loyal, Ms. Zandor?
744
00:48:50,057 --> 00:48:51,944
You really want me
to answer that?
745
00:48:51,945 --> 00:48:53,448
Well, when you're at war,
746
00:48:53,450 --> 00:48:56,360
you need people
who are loyal to a fault.
747
00:48:56,362 --> 00:48:58,151
People you can count on
to get things done.
748
00:48:58,153 --> 00:49:00,519
I just get people arrested
for not paying their bills.
749
00:49:00,521 --> 00:49:03,529
Yeah, 'cause there are some problems
that require a physical solution,
750
00:49:03,531 --> 00:49:05,992
but there are other times,
particularly at war,
751
00:49:05,994 --> 00:49:07,625
when you need
a different set of rules.
752
00:49:07,627 --> 00:49:09,191
- The rules of war.
- Exactly.
753
00:49:09,193 --> 00:49:11,880
It's too bad my division doesn't
operate inside the OASIS.
754
00:49:11,882 --> 00:49:14,663
Yeah, but if this war
remains in the OASIS,
755
00:49:14,665 --> 00:49:16,969
then you can't do anything.
756
00:49:16,971 --> 00:49:19,784
So, this is one of those conversations
that we're not really having.
757
00:49:19,785 --> 00:49:21,479
Well, we've had these kind
of conversations before,
758
00:49:21,481 --> 00:49:23,144
and look where you are now.
759
00:49:23,146 --> 00:49:25,352
You got a seat on the board,
head of your own division,
760
00:49:25,354 --> 00:49:28,871
a division that will cease to exist if
the wrong person wins this contest.
761
00:49:28,873 --> 00:49:32,072
F'Nale, a game decides
our fate.
762
00:49:32,074 --> 00:49:35,691
The only question is, how far
are we willing to go to win it?
763
00:49:37,802 --> 00:49:39,755
Tell me what you need, Nolan.
764
00:50:54,921 --> 00:50:56,362
Whoa.
765
00:51:00,042 --> 00:51:01,639
Where am I?
766
00:51:01,641 --> 00:51:03,786
IOI Plaza. You're a
hologram in the real world.
767
00:51:04,490 --> 00:51:06,280
That's a really cool rig.
768
00:51:06,282 --> 00:51:10,151
Thank you. It's a brand-new
Habashaw, OIR 9400.
769
00:51:10,153 --> 00:51:12,071
It looks like
a giant hamster ball.
770
00:51:12,073 --> 00:51:16,648
You know, if you came to work
at IOI, you'd get one of these.
771
00:51:16,649 --> 00:51:18,503
I don't clan up.
772
00:51:18,505 --> 00:51:20,649
You'd also get your own
penthouse apartment in Columbus
773
00:51:20,651 --> 00:51:22,631
with the
highest-speed connection.
774
00:51:22,633 --> 00:51:28,008
In the OASIS, you'd get unlimited
weapons, magic items, ships.
775
00:51:28,010 --> 00:51:29,800
You want the ship
from Defender?
776
00:51:29,802 --> 00:51:32,232
You know, the kind that can
just jump into hyperspace?
777
00:51:32,234 --> 00:51:34,186
You want
the Millennium Falcon?
778
00:51:35,113 --> 00:51:36,520
You have that?
779
00:51:36,522 --> 00:51:39,048
Anything you need
to help you find that egg,
780
00:51:39,050 --> 00:51:40,490
and then there's the salary.
781
00:51:41,610 --> 00:51:43,624
Four million a year.
782
00:51:43,626 --> 00:51:47,080
And if you do happen to find that
Easter egg, there's a bonus.
783
00:51:47,082 --> 00:51:49,226
Twenty-five million dollars.
784
00:51:54,441 --> 00:51:57,863
I can see you're using
emotion-suppressing software right now,
785
00:51:57,865 --> 00:52:00,586
and why wouldn't you? It's
smart, not to show your hand.
786
00:52:05,866 --> 00:52:09,386
It is a lot of money.
I could really use it.
787
00:52:14,185 --> 00:52:16,489
But I don't think you and I
would have the same plans.
788
00:52:16,491 --> 00:52:19,400
Well, I don't know about that.
What, for the OASIS?
789
00:52:19,402 --> 00:52:22,219
I guess if you're not
a John Hughes fan...
790
00:52:23,530 --> 00:52:25,000
Of course I am.
791
00:52:25,002 --> 00:52:27,719
Because the first thing
that I would do
792
00:52:27,721 --> 00:52:31,303
is convert all the schools
on Ludus to replicas
793
00:52:31,305 --> 00:52:34,343
from The Breakfast Club
and Ferris Bueller.
794
00:52:34,345 --> 00:52:37,384
No way. That's a great idea.
795
00:52:37,386 --> 00:52:39,559
Which school,
Ridgemont or Faber?
796
00:52:39,561 --> 00:52:42,728
Fast Times at Ridgemont High,
not John Hughes.
797
00:52:42,730 --> 00:52:45,832
It's a trap. Faber College
from Animal House.
798
00:52:45,834 --> 00:52:47,209
John Hughes didn't direct
799
00:52:47,211 --> 00:52:50,088
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
or Animal House.
800
00:52:50,090 --> 00:52:53,479
Ferris Bueller and The Breakfast Club,
they went to Shermer High School,
801
00:52:53,481 --> 00:52:56,679
which is in Shermer, Illinois.
I know what you think.
802
00:52:56,681 --> 00:52:58,504
You think
I'm a corporate asshole,
803
00:52:58,506 --> 00:53:01,575
that I don't appreciate
pop culture, but...
804
00:53:01,577 --> 00:53:04,745
Man, that's not true. You know,
when I wanna blow off steam...
805
00:53:04,747 --> 00:53:08,360
Drink Tab, play Robotron,
listen to Duran Duran.
806
00:53:08,362 --> 00:53:10,089
I crack open a Tab.
807
00:53:10,091 --> 00:53:12,199
I put on some Duran Duran.
I play Robotron.
808
00:53:12,201 --> 00:53:14,441
That's why I love the OASIS.
809
00:53:14,443 --> 00:53:17,639
'Cause it's just full
of all these things, man,
810
00:53:17,641 --> 00:53:18,858
that people love. You know?
811
00:53:26,601 --> 00:53:28,999
I'm a businessman. I get it.
812
00:53:29,001 --> 00:53:31,688
But I gotta do my job.
813
00:53:31,690 --> 00:53:36,999
But I didn't ask you here just
to help us find the egg, Parzival.
814
00:53:37,001 --> 00:53:40,810
I asked you here
for what comes after.
815
00:53:41,801 --> 00:53:43,562
What would Halliday say?
816
00:53:44,585 --> 00:53:47,146
James Halliday is dead.
817
00:53:48,394 --> 00:53:52,233
Yeah. He is.
818
00:53:52,235 --> 00:53:56,968
All that's left of him is this contest.
And you know what?
819
00:53:56,969 --> 00:53:59,239
It just seems like he
wouldn't want you winning it.
820
00:53:59,241 --> 00:54:01,159
A fanboy knows a hater,
821
00:54:01,161 --> 00:54:02,951
and I know you've got a whole
department of oologists in your ear.
822
00:54:02,953 --> 00:54:05,321
So, if you wanna know
what I really think...
823
00:54:05,323 --> 00:54:06,730
I think you're full of shit.
824
00:54:11,690 --> 00:54:13,479
Here's my offer.
825
00:54:13,481 --> 00:54:14,920
Your board of directors,
you got them in the other ear?
826
00:54:14,922 --> 00:54:16,714
Why don't you tell 'em this.
827
00:54:17,865 --> 00:54:20,359
If they dump you,
I'll consider it.
828
00:54:20,361 --> 00:54:22,506
I might say something
off the record.
829
00:54:23,530 --> 00:54:25,480
I had to make the offer.
830
00:54:25,482 --> 00:54:28,360
The board expected it, but I was
really hoping you'd say no.
831
00:54:28,362 --> 00:54:31,624
Because if anyone's gonna win
this competition, it's me.
832
00:54:31,626 --> 00:54:33,609
My avatar gets the egg
833
00:54:33,611 --> 00:54:36,648
'cause I'm the only one here with
the balls to run this place.
834
00:54:36,650 --> 00:54:39,240
Wow, you really
switched gears there.
835
00:54:39,242 --> 00:54:42,184
From fairly reasonable
to maniacal overlord.
836
00:54:42,186 --> 00:54:45,063
You should be grateful, Wade.
837
00:54:45,065 --> 00:54:48,168
You won't be around
to endure my maniacal reign.
838
00:54:48,170 --> 00:54:50,088
Yeah, that's right.
I know who you are.
839
00:54:50,090 --> 00:54:54,919
Wade Owen Watts,
born August 12, 2027.
840
00:54:54,921 --> 00:54:58,759
I also know where you are.
Unit 56K, Columbus stacks.
841
00:54:58,761 --> 00:55:01,609
You were last seen entering
your trailer three days ago.
842
00:55:01,611 --> 00:55:02,983
You haven't left since.
843
00:55:02,985 --> 00:55:04,263
What are you doing?
You can't...
844
00:55:04,265 --> 00:55:05,801
With all that's going on
in the world,
845
00:55:05,803 --> 00:55:07,113
do you really think that
anyone's gonna give a damn
846
00:55:07,115 --> 00:55:08,584
about an explosion
847
00:55:08,586 --> 00:55:11,048
in some ghetto trash
rat warren in Columbus?
848
00:55:11,050 --> 00:55:12,999
Sorrento, don't do this.
I'm not even there!
849
00:55:13,001 --> 00:55:14,954
Not for long.
850
00:55:18,505 --> 00:55:20,649
Call Alice.
851
00:55:20,651 --> 00:55:22,251
Dial Alice.
852
00:55:47,690 --> 00:55:49,450
Pick up! Pick up! Alice!
853
00:55:54,345 --> 00:55:56,711
This bootsuit's pretty awesome.
Thanks for that.
854
00:55:56,713 --> 00:55:58,727
Rick! Rick, the place
is gonna blow!
855
00:55:58,729 --> 00:56:00,168
Rick, is that Wade?
856
00:56:00,170 --> 00:56:02,089
- Put Alice on!
- Let me talk to him.
857
00:56:02,091 --> 00:56:04,009
Don't call here anymore,
you got me?
858
00:56:05,642 --> 00:56:08,267
I don't wanna hear your voice
ever again.
859
00:56:43,785 --> 00:56:48,009
Contact Aech, Daito,
Sho, and Art3mis.
860
00:56:48,011 --> 00:56:50,119
IOI came for me
in the real world.
861
00:56:50,121 --> 00:56:52,809
They gotta be coming after
you, so wherever you are...
862
00:57:17,801 --> 00:57:19,752
Sorry about the blindfold.
863
00:57:19,754 --> 00:57:21,611
My guys are a little paranoid.
864
00:57:22,633 --> 00:57:24,551
Say that again.
865
00:57:24,553 --> 00:57:26,986
My guys are a little paranoid.
866
00:57:28,074 --> 00:57:29,259
Art3mis?
867
00:57:30,954 --> 00:57:34,794
My real name is Samantha,
but yeah, I'm Art3mis.
868
00:57:36,650 --> 00:57:39,018
Showers are that way,
clean clothes, too.
869
00:57:42,409 --> 00:57:46,251
Welcome to the rebellion,
Wade.
870
00:57:57,002 --> 00:58:02,089
That's IOI.
So the stacks are over there?
871
00:58:02,091 --> 00:58:04,779
We've been living this close
to each other the whole time?
872
00:58:06,410 --> 00:58:08,488
Next door,
873
00:58:08,489 --> 00:58:12,362
around the world, it's... it's
all the same in the OASIS.
874
00:58:14,571 --> 00:58:17,063
For the record,
875
00:58:17,065 --> 00:58:18,311
um...
876
00:58:18,313 --> 00:58:22,151
I'm not disappointed.
877
00:58:22,153 --> 00:58:25,129
You said I... I would be
disappointed when I met you, but...
878
00:58:25,131 --> 00:58:28,424
I'm not.
879
00:58:28,426 --> 00:58:31,083
I've lived with it my whole life.
You don't have to pretend.
880
00:58:45,065 --> 00:58:47,690
You have a birthmark, so what?
881
00:58:48,585 --> 00:58:49,995
Why would that scare me?
882
00:58:57,163 --> 00:58:59,689
Z, if I hurt you,
I'm... I'm sorry.
883
00:58:59,691 --> 00:59:01,609
No, it's...
884
00:59:01,611 --> 00:59:04,967
Wait, did... did you
just call me "Z"?
885
00:59:04,969 --> 00:59:06,920
- Oh, my God. Did I?
- I think you did.
886
00:59:06,922 --> 00:59:08,711
Wade, I'm sorry.
887
00:59:08,713 --> 00:59:10,953
Yeah, Wade, Z.
888
00:59:10,955 --> 00:59:14,119
You can call me whatever you want.
And I'll call you Sam.
889
00:59:14,121 --> 00:59:15,080
No.
890
00:59:15,977 --> 00:59:17,608
Uh, Samantha?
891
00:59:17,610 --> 00:59:19,723
Okay. Cool.
892
00:59:26,570 --> 00:59:28,394
Wow.
893
00:59:29,226 --> 00:59:31,211
It's so much slower here.
894
00:59:32,362 --> 00:59:35,723
I mean, the wind,
the people...
895
00:59:37,545 --> 00:59:39,274
Everything.
896
00:59:44,329 --> 00:59:46,665
We forget what it's like
to be outside.
897
00:59:46,666 --> 00:59:47,627
Yeah.
898
00:59:50,826 --> 00:59:54,153
- Uh...
- Oh, shit!
899
00:59:54,155 --> 00:59:55,752
- I just figured it out.
- Figured what out?
900
00:59:55,754 --> 00:59:57,174
The second clue.
I know what it means.
901
01:00:03,017 --> 01:00:04,999
We've been thinking about it
too literally.
902
01:00:05,001 --> 01:00:06,663
"The leap not taken,"
903
01:00:06,665 --> 01:00:08,808
the leap Halliday didn't take,
is with Kira.
904
01:00:08,810 --> 01:00:12,488
Yeah, but... I mean, he blamed her
for breaking up him and Morrow.
905
01:00:12,490 --> 01:00:15,303
No. Halliday was madly
in love with her.
906
01:00:15,305 --> 01:00:17,448
He had a chance with Kira. He had
a chance to kiss her, but...
907
01:00:17,450 --> 01:00:18,919
He didn't take the leap.
908
01:00:18,921 --> 01:00:22,505
Right. So that's where
we go next.
909
01:00:22,507 --> 01:00:24,008
The place where the leap
wasn't taken.
910
01:00:24,010 --> 01:00:25,608
Where the date was.
911
01:00:25,610 --> 01:00:27,688
At the movies!
912
01:00:27,689 --> 01:00:29,383
Hey, Curator.
913
01:00:29,385 --> 01:00:31,303
We figured out the second clue.
The challenge is here.
914
01:00:31,305 --> 01:00:33,287
Halliday kept track of every
movie he ever watched,
915
01:00:33,289 --> 01:00:36,233
the week and the year he watched
it, and how many times.
916
01:00:36,234 --> 01:00:40,807
Curator, can we see
November 23 to 27, 2025?
917
01:00:40,809 --> 01:00:42,535
That's the week
he went on the date with Kira.
918
01:00:46,954 --> 01:00:50,441
Okay, so our options for that
week are The Fly remake.
919
01:00:50,443 --> 01:00:52,487
Great flick,
terrible date movie.
920
01:00:52,489 --> 01:00:55,849
Say Anything...
That would make sense.
921
01:00:55,851 --> 01:01:00,043
We gotta remember the clue. "A
creator who hates his own creation."
922
01:01:04,522 --> 01:01:06,409
The Shining!
923
01:01:06,411 --> 01:01:08,584
It's Halliday's
11th favorite horror film,
924
01:01:08,586 --> 01:01:10,888
and it's based on the best-selling
book by Stephen King,
925
01:01:10,890 --> 01:01:12,424
who hated the movie!
926
01:01:12,426 --> 01:01:14,441
Hey! No side chitchat.
927
01:01:14,443 --> 01:01:15,691
I think we found it.
928
01:01:19,306 --> 01:01:21,736
Are you absolutely sure
you want to go here?
929
01:01:21,738 --> 01:01:23,720
Absolutely positive.
930
01:01:23,722 --> 01:01:26,439
Let's hope
you have the belly for it.
931
01:02:07,626 --> 01:02:08,682
Look.
932
01:02:10,123 --> 01:02:12,199
Ticking clock.
933
01:02:12,201 --> 01:02:14,826
Okay, so I'm estimating about
934
01:02:15,883 --> 01:02:17,831
five minutes to find the key.
935
01:02:17,833 --> 01:02:19,400
Yeah, there are so many keys
in The Shining, though.
936
01:02:19,402 --> 01:02:22,119
Where do we start?
937
01:02:22,121 --> 01:02:25,384
I've never seen The Shining.
Is it really scary?
938
01:02:25,386 --> 01:02:28,968
Uh, I had to watch it
through my fingers.
939
01:02:28,970 --> 01:02:31,816
Okay, so we got the key
from room 237,
940
01:02:31,818 --> 01:02:33,640
the keys to the Snowcat,
941
01:02:33,642 --> 01:02:35,591
or the keys they give Jack
at the beginning of the movie.
942
01:02:35,593 --> 01:02:37,320
Well,
if it's "the leap not taken,"
943
01:02:37,322 --> 01:02:38,536
maybe the key
isn't a key at all.
944
01:02:38,538 --> 01:02:39,559
I know
where the Snowcat keys are!
945
01:02:39,561 --> 01:02:40,904
I say we split up.
946
01:02:40,906 --> 01:02:42,311
We get all the keys
947
01:02:42,313 --> 01:02:44,193
and then we meet back
at the Torrances' apartment.
948
01:02:47,754 --> 01:02:49,323
Hello, Danny.
949
01:02:50,505 --> 01:02:52,040
Come play with us.
950
01:02:52,042 --> 01:02:55,307
Little girls, y'all know
how to get out of here?
951
01:03:00,106 --> 01:03:01,223
Wait, wait!
952
01:03:01,225 --> 01:03:03,273
Wait, where's Aech?
953
01:03:03,275 --> 01:03:04,299
Wait!
954
01:03:05,353 --> 01:03:06,314
Aech!
955
01:03:07,273 --> 01:03:08,266
No, no, no, no!
956
01:03:25,578 --> 01:03:27,306
Ahh!
957
01:03:31,850 --> 01:03:33,163
Ahh!
958
01:04:05,514 --> 01:04:08,264
Oh, uh, hi, naked lady.
I'm sorry.
959
01:04:08,266 --> 01:04:10,279
I didn't mean to interrupt,
uh, your bath time.
960
01:04:10,281 --> 01:04:12,263
Uh, I know self-care
can be important.
961
01:04:12,265 --> 01:04:15,242
Uh, but can you do me a favor and
tell me, where are all the exits?
962
01:04:18,730 --> 01:04:20,231
Huh. Whoa.
963
01:04:20,233 --> 01:04:22,505
Okay, am I being punked?
964
01:04:22,507 --> 01:04:24,746
'Cause you're likin' me
a little way too much.
965
01:04:26,058 --> 01:04:28,267
All right, you know what?
I'ma go with it.
966
01:04:41,290 --> 01:04:42,282
Ahh!
967
01:05:17,897 --> 01:05:19,433
Time's running out.
968
01:05:19,434 --> 01:05:21,479
Yo, Z, is Art3mis
pissed at me?
969
01:05:21,481 --> 01:05:23,592
Dude, I'm pissed at you. You've
never seen The Shining, have you?
970
01:05:23,594 --> 01:05:25,127
You know I hate scary movies!
971
01:05:25,129 --> 01:05:26,248
We got the key.
972
01:05:26,250 --> 01:05:27,400
Sweet! To room 237!
973
01:05:27,402 --> 01:05:30,023
We ain't got no business
goin' to room 237!
974
01:05:30,025 --> 01:05:31,751
We should stay out!
975
01:05:31,753 --> 01:05:33,319
Plus, there was this crazy,
naked zombie lady in there.
976
01:05:33,321 --> 01:05:34,953
There are no zombies
in The Shining.
977
01:05:34,955 --> 01:05:36,839
Well, maybe it's not supposed
to be like the movie.
978
01:05:36,841 --> 01:05:38,472
Kira is the key.
You're the one who said it.
979
01:05:38,474 --> 01:05:40,584
Hey, y'all.
I saw a picture of Kira!
980
01:05:40,586 --> 01:05:42,571
Huh?
981
01:05:44,811 --> 01:05:45,994
Where?
982
01:05:52,522 --> 01:05:56,681
It's Kira.
"Escape your past."
983
01:05:56,683 --> 01:05:59,752
"The leap not taken."
984
01:05:59,754 --> 01:06:01,672
Halliday's greatest fear
wasn't The Shining
985
01:06:01,674 --> 01:06:04,040
or any book or movie.
986
01:06:04,042 --> 01:06:07,463
His biggest fear
was kissing a girl.
987
01:06:07,465 --> 01:06:10,695
That's the leap
he couldn't take.
988
01:06:17,354 --> 01:06:19,115
The ballroom.
989
01:06:33,162 --> 01:06:35,147
Aech, come on.
990
01:06:38,602 --> 01:06:40,299
Zombies. Told you.
991
01:06:41,866 --> 01:06:43,051
That's her.
992
01:06:44,105 --> 01:06:45,675
That's Kira.
993
01:06:48,426 --> 01:06:50,345
None of this
is in The Shining.
994
01:06:50,347 --> 01:06:52,520
Z, look. That's the zombie-circle
level in Mayhem Mansion,
995
01:06:52,522 --> 01:06:53,895
one of Halliday's first games.
996
01:06:53,897 --> 01:06:55,786
The whole Shining trivia
is just a diversion.
997
01:06:56,810 --> 01:06:58,507
One minute left.
998
01:06:59,722 --> 01:07:01,192
How do we get to her?
999
01:07:01,194 --> 01:07:02,312
Take the leap.
1000
01:07:02,314 --> 01:07:03,274
Wait!
1001
01:07:04,458 --> 01:07:05,675
Whoa!
1002
01:07:11,113 --> 01:07:13,959
Okay, Mr. Dead Guy.
Cool if I lead?
1003
01:07:59,625 --> 01:08:01,833
Care to dance?
1004
01:08:01,835 --> 01:08:05,163
Do you know how long I've
been waiting for you to ask?
1005
01:08:10,602 --> 01:08:13,288
Well, well, well.
1006
01:08:13,290 --> 01:08:17,291
So you found my Jade Key.
1007
01:08:19,881 --> 01:08:21,706
Imagine that.
1008
01:08:26,505 --> 01:08:27,818
Thank you.
1009
01:08:32,585 --> 01:08:34,571
- Kira was a very beautiful...
- Go on.
1010
01:09:02,442 --> 01:09:05,384
One of our oologists saw them
enter the media library.
1011
01:09:05,385 --> 01:09:06,983
She cracked the clue.
1012
01:09:06,985 --> 01:09:10,631
Now, we just have to win
The Shining challenge.
1013
01:09:12,874 --> 01:09:15,559
Get her off me!
Get her off me!
1014
01:09:24,586 --> 01:09:28,907
Mr. Sorrento, I really think
you need to see this.
1015
01:09:30,954 --> 01:09:32,682
Now Parzival's
got the Jade Key.
1016
01:09:42,666 --> 01:09:44,775
He's alive.
1017
01:09:44,777 --> 01:09:47,592
I know. I'll get back to you.
1018
01:09:47,594 --> 01:09:49,514
I got what you're looking for.
1019
01:09:53,481 --> 01:09:57,514
Freeze. This guy.
The one with the lame tattoo.
1020
01:09:58,090 --> 01:09:59,210
Enlarge.
1021
01:10:01,642 --> 01:10:04,744
Run him through our database,
every IOI drone in Columbus.
1022
01:10:04,746 --> 01:10:06,123
Find him.
1023
01:10:31,753 --> 01:10:33,609
Groceries are here.
1024
01:10:33,611 --> 01:10:35,048
All right. Gluten-O's...
1025
01:10:35,050 --> 01:10:36,233
"If you know
the answer ultimate,
1026
01:10:36,234 --> 01:10:38,409
"divide it
by the number magic,
1027
01:10:38,411 --> 01:10:41,128
"and what you need, want, and desire
will be found in the fortress tragic."
1028
01:10:41,129 --> 01:10:43,144
"Tragic," that's gotta be
Halliday referring to himself.
1029
01:10:43,146 --> 01:10:44,200
Why?
1030
01:10:44,202 --> 01:10:45,928
Because he was lonely.
1031
01:10:45,929 --> 01:10:47,752
He had no one to spend his
life with towards the end.
1032
01:10:47,754 --> 01:10:49,768
Yeah, that's true.
1033
01:10:49,769 --> 01:10:51,624
The contest has gotta be somehow
about connecting with someone.
1034
01:10:51,626 --> 01:10:52,936
Anyone.
1035
01:10:52,938 --> 01:10:54,568
He wants the person
who cares for the OASIS
1036
01:10:54,569 --> 01:10:56,200
to be connected
with the world.
1037
01:10:56,202 --> 01:10:58,571
That's what I think
he's trying to tell us.
1038
01:11:04,331 --> 01:11:05,867
Wade.
1039
01:11:07,850 --> 01:11:10,088
You understand Halliday.
1040
01:11:10,090 --> 01:11:13,640
You know him
better than anyone.
1041
01:11:13,642 --> 01:11:16,519
It's exactly
why I think you'll win.
1042
01:11:16,521 --> 01:11:20,171
Really? You really think
I'm gonna win?
1043
01:11:23,947 --> 01:11:25,418
Do not move!
1044
01:11:30,825 --> 01:11:32,202
Target identified!
1045
01:11:33,226 --> 01:11:34,731
Freeze! Don't move!
1046
01:11:41,323 --> 01:11:43,848
- This leads right to the alley.
- You first.
1047
01:11:43,850 --> 01:11:45,450
I'm right behind you. Go now!
1048
01:11:46,987 --> 01:11:48,520
Come on!
1049
01:11:48,522 --> 01:11:50,920
- Wade, the OASIS needs you.
- What?
1050
01:11:50,922 --> 01:11:52,168
- I'm gonna delay them.
- Wait!
1051
01:11:52,170 --> 01:11:54,311
No, no, no, wait! No, no, no!
1052
01:11:54,313 --> 01:11:56,586
You'll forgive me
for this, I promise.
1053
01:12:05,449 --> 01:12:06,762
Freeze, freeze, freeze!
1054
01:12:07,753 --> 01:12:08,715
Don't move!
1055
01:12:13,994 --> 01:12:16,391
Samantha Evelyn Cook.
1056
01:12:16,393 --> 01:12:20,104
IOI has purchased and consolidated
all of your outstanding debt,
1057
01:12:20,106 --> 01:12:23,239
currently in excess
of 23,000 credits.
1058
01:12:23,241 --> 01:12:25,992
You will be remanded to the
nearest IOI loyalty center
1059
01:12:25,994 --> 01:12:27,431
until your debt
is paid in full,
1060
01:12:27,433 --> 01:12:29,928
including any interest,
processing,
1061
01:12:29,930 --> 01:12:32,680
or late fees
you incur henceforth.
1062
01:12:32,682 --> 01:12:35,137
Does anybody have eyes? MAN
2: Check down the next street!
1063
01:12:47,081 --> 01:12:49,000
- "First to the key."
- "First to the egg."
1064
01:12:49,002 --> 01:12:51,400
Wait, what?
1065
01:12:51,402 --> 01:12:54,632
"Never trust someone you meet
in the OASIS."
1066
01:12:54,634 --> 01:12:57,161
"She might be a 300-pound dude
named Chuck..."
1067
01:12:57,163 --> 01:13:00,234
"Who lives in his mama's
basement in suburban Detroit."
1068
01:13:02,506 --> 01:13:04,359
Aech!
1069
01:13:04,361 --> 01:13:07,722
Helen. My dad called me "H."
It kinda stuck. Let's go!
1070
01:13:17,002 --> 01:13:19,274
That thing's IDing my van.
1071
01:13:33,321 --> 01:13:35,435
Come on. They've spotted us.
1072
01:13:36,042 --> 01:13:37,768
Daito.
1073
01:13:37,769 --> 01:13:40,488
My real name is Toshiro.
Samantha got us a message.
1074
01:13:40,490 --> 01:13:42,248
She told us to meet you here.
1075
01:13:42,250 --> 01:13:43,593
Samantha,
they took her to the...
1076
01:13:43,595 --> 01:13:45,543
The loyalty center, I know.
1077
01:13:45,545 --> 01:13:48,967
Look, in other awesome news, the
Sixers found the third challenge.
1078
01:13:48,969 --> 01:13:50,599
- What?
- Just come on, get in!
1079
01:13:50,601 --> 01:13:51,943
All right. Let's go.
1080
01:13:51,945 --> 01:13:53,994
Hurry up.
Go, go, go. All right.
1081
01:14:05,290 --> 01:14:07,689
How did IOI find
the third challenge so fast?
1082
01:14:07,691 --> 01:14:09,704
IOI cracked the first
three lines of the clue,
1083
01:14:09,705 --> 01:14:11,303
so they knew it was sector 14
1084
01:14:11,305 --> 01:14:12,648
but they couldn't figure out
"the fortress tragic."
1085
01:14:12,650 --> 01:14:15,143
So they sent every guide
they had into that sector
1086
01:14:15,145 --> 01:14:16,970
until they found
the right fortress.
1087
01:14:18,026 --> 01:14:19,240
Sho?
1088
01:14:19,242 --> 01:14:21,640
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm 11, so what?
1089
01:14:21,642 --> 01:14:23,591
His real name is Xo.
1090
01:14:23,593 --> 01:14:26,056
But everyone else calls
me Sho, no big deal.
1091
01:14:26,058 --> 01:14:28,905
No. It is a big deal.
1092
01:14:28,906 --> 01:14:32,328
Sho, you're the world's most
badass 11-year-old ever.
1093
01:14:32,330 --> 01:14:33,353
He knows.
1094
01:14:33,354 --> 01:14:35,463
Shut up! Let him tell me.
1095
01:14:35,465 --> 01:14:36,490
Aech!
1096
01:14:39,883 --> 01:14:41,320
We have to go save Samantha.
1097
01:14:41,322 --> 01:14:43,783
Well, we can't just
go through the doors of IOI.
1098
01:14:43,785 --> 01:14:45,928
Look, I've been thinkin' about it.
I got a better plan.
1099
01:14:45,929 --> 01:14:47,848
You saw Sorrento's rig, right?
1100
01:14:47,850 --> 01:14:49,863
Yeah.
1101
01:14:49,865 --> 01:14:52,008
Let's go after the man himself and
make him give Art3mis back to us.
1102
01:14:52,010 --> 01:14:53,831
But first,
I have to know exactly,
1103
01:14:53,833 --> 01:14:55,690
how much about Sorrento's rig
do you remember?
1104
01:14:57,289 --> 01:14:59,434
Kind of everything.
1105
01:15:12,649 --> 01:15:16,330
Maintenance,
report to loyalty pod 31-B.
1106
01:15:20,266 --> 01:15:24,459
Security, please report
to section 97 for escort.
1107
01:15:44,585 --> 01:15:47,274
Hey! Newbie, get to work.
1108
01:15:49,385 --> 01:15:50,858
Get to work.
1109
01:15:56,330 --> 01:15:59,467
Work violation.
Work violation.
1110
01:16:01,001 --> 01:16:03,915
Lay those charges
every six feet.
1111
01:16:08,778 --> 01:16:10,987
Keep it moving!
1112
01:16:12,265 --> 01:16:13,227
Hey, you!
1113
01:16:15,305 --> 01:16:17,063
Those are explosives!
1114
01:16:18,729 --> 01:16:21,800
IOI will not reimburse
any lost coin if you zero out.
1115
01:16:21,802 --> 01:16:23,466
Keep it moving!
1116
01:16:28,041 --> 01:16:30,759
So what is this challenge,
some sort of video game thing?
1117
01:16:30,761 --> 01:16:32,775
An Atari 2600, sir.
1118
01:16:32,777 --> 01:16:36,363
And every game ever made for it,
thousands of possibilities.
1119
01:16:37,161 --> 01:16:38,472
Come up!
1120
01:16:42,762 --> 01:16:44,168
Halliday,
1121
01:16:44,170 --> 01:16:46,024
this is how
you plan to resolve
1122
01:16:46,026 --> 01:16:49,129
the fate of the world's most
important economic resource?
1123
01:16:49,131 --> 01:16:51,016
- Call me when you're close.
- Yes, sir.
1124
01:16:51,018 --> 01:16:52,682
Go, go! No! Ahh!
1125
01:16:54,921 --> 01:16:57,769
One minute into Centipede,
the ice broke.
1126
01:16:57,771 --> 01:16:59,945
It has to be Joust!
1127
01:16:59,947 --> 01:17:02,569
Halliday still holds the world record
on the 2600 port of that game.
1128
01:17:02,571 --> 01:17:04,488
Maybe we just need
to beat his high score.
1129
01:17:04,490 --> 01:17:06,888
Pitfall! One of the only 2600
games that still hasn't ended.
1130
01:17:06,890 --> 01:17:08,264
And how about
those Swordquest games?
1131
01:17:08,265 --> 01:17:10,088
Yes!
The Swordquest games.
1132
01:17:10,090 --> 01:17:12,161
They were created for a contest
Atari held with real...
1133
01:17:19,434 --> 01:17:22,312
i-R0k, how are we doin'?
1134
01:17:22,314 --> 01:17:24,489
To be honest, I think I need
physical therapy because it's not...
1135
01:17:24,491 --> 01:17:26,411
Is the Orb ready?
1136
01:17:27,370 --> 01:17:28,970
Um, as you wish.
1137
01:17:32,969 --> 01:17:34,089
The Orb...
1138
01:17:34,091 --> 01:17:35,435
Of Osuvox.
1139
01:17:36,073 --> 01:17:37,385
Ah...
1140
01:17:37,387 --> 01:17:39,368
How does it work?
1141
01:17:39,370 --> 01:17:42,664
Has it got, like, a remote or
is there a button or something?
1142
01:17:42,666 --> 01:17:46,151
Nolan, it's a level-99
magic artifact,
1143
01:17:46,153 --> 01:17:49,609
not one of your drones, so it
is activated by a magic spell.
1144
01:17:49,611 --> 01:17:51,755
Would you care
to do the honors?
1145
01:18:41,417 --> 01:18:42,920
Where is she?
1146
01:18:42,922 --> 01:18:44,168
How'd you get in here?
1147
01:18:44,170 --> 01:18:45,191
- Art3mis.
- Who?
1148
01:18:45,193 --> 01:18:49,863
Samantha Cook. Where is she?
1149
01:18:49,865 --> 01:18:53,608
If you wanna talk, we can talk,
but you gotta put that gun down.
1150
01:18:53,610 --> 01:18:56,392
You killed my mom's sister.
1151
01:18:56,394 --> 01:18:57,769
You think I won't kill you?
1152
01:18:57,771 --> 01:19:01,991
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Just slow down, okay?
1153
01:19:01,993 --> 01:19:05,223
That was a corporate decision.
It was not personal.
1154
01:19:05,225 --> 01:19:06,311
Where is she?
1155
01:19:06,313 --> 01:19:08,743
She's downstairs
in the loyalty center!
1156
01:19:08,745 --> 01:19:11,944
I know she's in
the goddamn loyalty center.
1157
01:19:11,946 --> 01:19:14,120
You're gonna tell me
exactly which rig she's in
1158
01:19:14,122 --> 01:19:16,555
and the access code
to contact her.
1159
01:19:17,610 --> 01:19:19,754
Yeah, that seems appropriate.
1160
01:19:22,505 --> 01:19:24,426
Start with access code.
1161
01:19:25,610 --> 01:19:27,784
6, 45, 7, 25.
1162
01:19:27,786 --> 01:19:29,002
Where's the rig?
1163
01:19:39,465 --> 01:19:41,608
I think he pissed himself.
1164
01:19:41,609 --> 01:19:43,528
Good job, Z.
We're in his account.
1165
01:19:43,530 --> 01:19:45,194
So he really doesn't know
he's in the OASIS?
1166
01:19:47,466 --> 01:19:49,961
This is what Sorrento
should be seeing,
1167
01:19:49,963 --> 01:19:54,023
but this... This is what we're
making him see.
1168
01:19:54,025 --> 01:19:56,968
We grabbed him in transit just as
he was logging out of the OASIS,
1169
01:19:56,970 --> 01:19:59,719
so he thinks he's back in his
office in the real world.
1170
01:19:59,721 --> 01:20:03,400
But actually, he's here, in the
identical office that Aech built.
1171
01:20:03,402 --> 01:20:05,800
So, you basically
just remotely hacked his rig.
1172
01:20:05,802 --> 01:20:08,712
A fixed rig like Sorrento's
is easy to locate, hard to hack.
1173
01:20:08,714 --> 01:20:11,529
Unless he's stupid enough to
leave his password lying around.
1174
01:20:11,531 --> 01:20:12,680
Loyalty center, I'm in.
1175
01:20:12,682 --> 01:20:14,379
All right,
let's get to work.
1176
01:20:22,026 --> 01:20:24,071
- Arty.
- Z? Z? Z?
1177
01:20:24,073 --> 01:20:25,768
Arty, don't say anything.
1178
01:20:25,769 --> 01:20:27,626
I'm tapped directly
into your audio feed.
1179
01:20:29,001 --> 01:20:30,633
How did you find me?
1180
01:20:30,635 --> 01:20:32,267
We got his password,
hacked Sorrento's rig.
1181
01:20:33,641 --> 01:20:36,200
Z, I have something
to tell you.
1182
01:20:36,202 --> 01:20:38,119
Not now. I have something to show
you that'll get you out of there.
1183
01:20:38,121 --> 01:20:41,449
The Sixers found the third challenge.
It's on Planet Doom.
1184
01:20:41,451 --> 01:20:42,920
And there's more,
they just put a force field
1185
01:20:42,922 --> 01:20:44,650
around Anorak's Castle.
1186
01:20:48,905 --> 01:20:51,463
I heard one of the guards
calling it "the Orb of Osuvox,"
1187
01:20:51,465 --> 01:20:53,929
and the only way to take it
down is from the inside.
1188
01:20:53,931 --> 01:20:56,776
She's right.
Level-99 artifact,
1189
01:20:56,778 --> 01:20:59,592
creates a magic-resistant,
impenetrable barrier.
1190
01:20:59,594 --> 01:21:01,448
No way through it.
1191
01:21:01,450 --> 01:21:03,113
Okay, listen. That's not
important right now.
1192
01:21:03,114 --> 01:21:05,033
What's important is that
we get you out of the rig.
1193
01:21:07,082 --> 01:21:09,099
All right, so I'm looking
at a diagram of your rig.
1194
01:21:11,914 --> 01:21:14,056
If you reach up with your
left hand at 11 o'clock,
1195
01:21:14,058 --> 01:21:15,947
there's some... there's a
panel above your head.
1196
01:21:20,554 --> 01:21:22,632
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I can feel it.
1197
01:21:22,634 --> 01:21:24,585
Okay, there should be
two release handles.
1198
01:21:24,586 --> 01:21:26,152
Nine o'clock and three o'clock.
Can you feel them?
1199
01:21:26,154 --> 01:21:28,267
- Yeah, I got it.
- Okay, pull it towards you.
1200
01:21:30,378 --> 01:21:32,200
Okay, inside the panel,
there's a lever.
1201
01:21:32,202 --> 01:21:34,663
Grab it with your right hand
and slide it to the left.
1202
01:21:34,665 --> 01:21:36,105
That should release you.
1203
01:21:42,890 --> 01:21:45,705
It worked. It worked, I'm out.
1204
01:21:45,706 --> 01:21:47,559
Loyalty pod 41-F,
1205
01:21:47,561 --> 01:21:50,378
you are on an authorized
break for 10 minutes.
1206
01:21:55,690 --> 01:21:58,728
Pod 41-F, you are
on 10-minute break.
1207
01:21:58,730 --> 01:22:00,747
Proceed to break area.
1208
01:22:01,993 --> 01:22:03,305
Wade, are you still there?
1209
01:22:03,307 --> 01:22:04,487
Yeah, I'm here. Where are you?
1210
01:22:04,489 --> 01:22:06,599
Where is Sorrento's office?
1211
01:22:06,601 --> 01:22:07,751
It's in the IOI war room, two
levels above where you are now.
1212
01:22:07,753 --> 01:22:09,672
But that's not the way out.
1213
01:22:09,674 --> 01:22:11,147
What's his password?
1214
01:22:12,426 --> 01:22:13,576
Wade, answer me.
1215
01:22:13,578 --> 01:22:17,352
Okay, it's capital
B-0-55-man-69.
1216
01:22:17,354 --> 01:22:19,848
But, Arty, you need to go.
1217
01:22:19,850 --> 01:22:21,067
You need to raise an army.
1218
01:22:21,962 --> 01:22:23,527
An army?
1219
01:22:23,529 --> 01:22:25,064
Get to Planet Doom,
and wait for my signal.
1220
01:22:25,065 --> 01:22:26,120
What signal?
1221
01:22:26,122 --> 01:22:28,361
I'm gonna take down
that shield.
1222
01:22:28,363 --> 01:22:30,281
Wait, Arty, wait! You gotta
get out of there! Arty!
1223
01:22:38,282 --> 01:22:40,807
Hey, how much
are they paying you?
1224
01:22:40,809 --> 01:22:42,311
'Cause, man, I got a lot of paper.
1225
01:22:42,313 --> 01:22:44,808
You know, I can make you,
like, a forest.
1226
01:22:44,810 --> 01:22:46,984
Hey, shut up.
1227
01:22:46,986 --> 01:22:48,043
Okay.
1228
01:23:09,769 --> 01:23:11,912
This isn't real,
you're tapping my feed.
1229
01:23:11,914 --> 01:23:13,835
Uh-oh. Guys.
1230
01:23:31,626 --> 01:23:34,248
F'Nale, they've hacked my rig.
They're after the girl.
1231
01:23:34,250 --> 01:23:36,424
Meet me at loyalty.
1232
01:23:49,385 --> 01:23:52,841
Pod 41-F, you
have exceeded your break time.
1233
01:23:52,843 --> 01:23:56,203
Report to security or your coin
count will be reset to zero.
1234
01:24:05,002 --> 01:24:09,608
So, she just walks out of
here, how does that happen?
1235
01:24:09,610 --> 01:24:11,591
They're smart. They knew
what they were doing.
1236
01:24:11,593 --> 01:24:14,505
But we know they're in Columbus. And
now, all five of them are together.
1237
01:24:14,506 --> 01:24:16,903
Wait. Wait, we know what?
How do we know?
1238
01:24:16,905 --> 01:24:20,329
We have the make and model of the van.
We'll spot them.
1239
01:24:20,331 --> 01:24:22,568
"We'll spot them"?
1240
01:24:22,570 --> 01:24:25,672
That sounds like a great
inscription for our tombstones.
1241
01:24:25,674 --> 01:24:26,952
Why didn't you tell me
this earlier?
1242
01:24:26,954 --> 01:24:28,680
It wasn't relevant yet.
1243
01:24:28,682 --> 01:24:29,832
I need to know where they are.
1244
01:24:29,834 --> 01:24:31,367
We need to know.
We need to find them!
1245
01:24:31,369 --> 01:24:34,279
They're kids, Nolan.
Man the hell up!
1246
01:24:34,281 --> 01:24:37,352
Do your job, and I'll do mine,
unless you wanna take this
1247
01:24:37,354 --> 01:24:39,275
and go after them yourself.
1248
01:24:43,690 --> 01:24:44,875
Find them!
1249
01:24:53,514 --> 01:24:57,738
The Complete Nancy Drew,
Kegel Exercises for...
1250
01:24:59,531 --> 01:25:02,153
Bingo. Okay.
1251
01:25:02,154 --> 01:25:04,329
"Congratulations, you are the
proud owner of the Orb of Osuvox,
1252
01:25:04,331 --> 01:25:06,183
"a 99th level magic artifact.
1253
01:25:06,185 --> 01:25:08,904
"Read these instructions before deploying.
To turn orb on, off."
1254
01:25:08,906 --> 01:25:10,152
Off! Yes, off.
1255
01:25:10,154 --> 01:25:12,523
"Utter spell
within 10 feet of orb."
1256
01:25:25,930 --> 01:25:28,039
Citizens of the OASIS,
1257
01:25:28,041 --> 01:25:30,761
I am Parzival,
first to the key.
1258
01:25:30,763 --> 01:25:33,672
I'm here talking to all of you now
because our future's being threatened
1259
01:25:33,674 --> 01:25:37,608
by people who will stop at
nothing to win this contest.
1260
01:25:37,610 --> 01:25:39,560
Some of you already know this,
1261
01:25:39,562 --> 01:25:43,367
and you've lost much more than
just your avatars or your weapons.
1262
01:25:43,369 --> 01:25:47,082
Some have lost their freedom.
Some have lost their lives.
1263
01:25:49,482 --> 01:25:52,168
And now, this.
1264
01:25:52,170 --> 01:25:54,987
A force field
around the third challenge.
1265
01:25:57,258 --> 01:26:01,096
I only came here to escape the
shitty hand that life dealt me.
1266
01:26:01,098 --> 01:26:03,944
But I stayed,
like many of you,
1267
01:26:03,945 --> 01:26:08,840
because I found something
much bigger than just myself.
1268
01:26:08,842 --> 01:26:10,570
I found a cause.
1269
01:26:11,691 --> 01:26:14,824
I found my friends.
1270
01:26:14,826 --> 01:26:18,122
And yes, I know
it's kind of a groaner, but...
1271
01:26:19,401 --> 01:26:20,907
I found love.
1272
01:26:22,154 --> 01:26:23,719
And I don't wanna lose that
1273
01:26:23,721 --> 01:26:26,088
to this colossal douchebag,
Nolan Sorrento.
1274
01:26:26,090 --> 01:26:30,312
This guy.
Back to work, people.
1275
01:26:30,314 --> 01:26:34,408
He thinks that we're all too
distracted to even notice...
1276
01:26:34,410 --> 01:26:38,983
Nolan Sorrento thinks
that we won't put up a fight.
1277
01:26:38,985 --> 01:26:40,199
Sir! Sir!
1278
01:26:40,201 --> 01:26:41,928
This is going out live!
1279
01:26:41,930 --> 01:26:43,944
The only thing
Halliday let this guy do...
1280
01:26:43,946 --> 01:26:45,545
- It's absolutely everywhere.
- ...was get him a cup of coffee.
1281
01:26:45,547 --> 01:26:47,273
And now, we're supposed
to hand him the OASIS?
1282
01:26:53,961 --> 01:26:56,586
This Parzival...
Oh, man.
1283
01:27:00,521 --> 01:27:02,920
Come on, come on.
Give me this thing.
1284
01:27:02,922 --> 01:27:04,010
Yes, sir.
1285
01:27:04,490 --> 01:27:06,727
Left arm.
1286
01:27:06,729 --> 01:27:09,129
- Left arm!
- Sir.
1287
01:27:09,131 --> 01:27:11,048
No, I need the left arm.
1288
01:27:11,050 --> 01:27:13,035
No, I don't care if...
I want it on.
1289
01:27:15,051 --> 01:27:17,704
He thinks that we
won't even put up a fight!
1290
01:27:17,706 --> 01:27:20,393
Well, I say he's wrong.
1291
01:27:20,394 --> 01:27:24,041
I say, tell that to the gunter
clans in the gold mines of Gygax.
1292
01:27:24,043 --> 01:27:27,083
Activate the Iron Giant.
1293
01:27:50,249 --> 01:27:55,112
Ask yourselves, are you willing
to zero out for the OASIS?
1294
01:27:55,114 --> 01:27:56,906
Are you willing to fight?
1295
01:27:58,122 --> 01:28:00,808
I am Parzival
of the High Five.
1296
01:28:00,810 --> 01:28:03,432
In the name of Art3mis,
in the name of Aech,
1297
01:28:03,434 --> 01:28:05,832
in the name of Daito and Sho,
1298
01:28:05,834 --> 01:28:09,448
we ask you to join us
on Planet Doom.
1299
01:28:09,450 --> 01:28:12,424
In the name
of James Halliday himself,
1300
01:28:12,426 --> 01:28:14,346
help us save the OASIS.
1301
01:29:07,114 --> 01:29:09,194
No, no, no, no.
1302
01:29:18,921 --> 01:29:21,639
"No man is a failure
who has friends."
1303
01:29:42,825 --> 01:29:45,674
Squadron 14, armor
up, you're in the lead.
1304
01:29:58,281 --> 01:30:02,504
One minute into Swordquest,
the ice broke.
1305
01:30:02,506 --> 01:30:05,929
Well, all three Swordquests.
What's next?
1306
01:30:05,931 --> 01:30:07,879
Dark Cavern, Laser Blast.
1307
01:30:07,881 --> 01:30:09,064
It's Adventure.
1308
01:30:09,066 --> 01:30:11,239
Released in 1979,
for the 2600,
1309
01:30:11,241 --> 01:30:13,224
Adventure was created by
Warren Robinett,
1310
01:30:13,226 --> 01:30:15,303
who was the first video game designer
ever to hide his name. In fact...
1311
01:30:15,305 --> 01:30:17,226
Try Adventure.
1312
01:30:18,442 --> 01:30:19,883
Play Adventure.
1313
01:31:10,122 --> 01:31:12,168
More than a minute,
we're still alive.
1314
01:31:12,170 --> 01:31:14,120
This must be the right game.
1315
01:31:20,810 --> 01:31:23,467
How long does it last,
this orb thing?
1316
01:31:30,442 --> 01:31:33,289
I'd say about ten...
1317
01:31:33,291 --> 01:31:36,521
Yeah, about 10 million years,
so we should be fine.
1318
01:31:53,002 --> 01:31:54,792
First to the key!
1319
01:31:54,794 --> 01:31:56,360
First to the egg!
1320
01:31:56,362 --> 01:31:57,928
First to the egg!
1321
01:31:57,930 --> 01:31:59,111
First to the egg!
1322
01:31:59,113 --> 01:32:02,407
♪ We're not gonna take it

01:32:02,409 --> 01:32:05,639

01:33:13,801 --> 01:33:15,307
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
1336
01:33:17,385 --> 01:33:19,849
The Sixers are in the final challenge.
It's an Atari 2600.
1337
01:33:19,851 --> 01:33:22,183
Are you in the Sixer war room?
1338
01:33:22,185 --> 01:33:23,719
No, no, no.
You gotta get out of there.
1339
01:33:23,721 --> 01:33:25,928
They're playing Adventure.
1340
01:33:25,930 --> 01:33:28,232
Adventure, of course!
1341
01:33:28,234 --> 01:33:29,959
Created by Warren Robinett!
1342
01:33:29,961 --> 01:33:31,240
He was the first designer to
ever hide an Easter egg in...
1343
01:33:31,242 --> 01:33:32,203
Dude!
1344
01:33:37,033 --> 01:33:39,945
We're looking for a USPS
truck, Ohio plates,
1345
01:33:39,946 --> 01:33:42,826
a drone spitter, 2036 model.
1346
01:34:00,649 --> 01:34:03,851
Daito! When are you
getting into this fight?
1347
01:34:17,291 --> 01:34:18,279
I'm out. Inventory's empty.
1348
01:34:18,281 --> 01:34:19,399
Last clip for me.
1349
01:34:19,401 --> 01:34:20,744
More weapons!
1350
01:34:20,746 --> 01:34:22,824
Anti-personnel
ordinance cannon!
1351
01:34:22,826 --> 01:34:24,682
Anti-personnel
ordinance cannon!
1352
01:34:27,530 --> 01:34:28,905
Railgun!
1353
01:34:28,906 --> 01:34:29,899
Railgun!
1354
01:34:35,083 --> 01:34:36,520
Yo, Z!
1355
01:34:36,522 --> 01:34:40,202
Yo, Z! Try this little guy.
1356
01:34:43,626 --> 01:34:45,225
Ow!
1357
01:34:45,226 --> 01:34:46,987
Get rid of it! Get rid of it!
1358
01:34:48,074 --> 01:34:49,863
It's fucking Chucky!
1359
01:34:54,921 --> 01:34:56,712
Move! Move!
1360
01:34:56,714 --> 01:34:58,347
Go, go, go!
1361
01:35:53,769 --> 01:35:55,272
Mechagodzilla!
1362
01:36:15,531 --> 01:36:18,888
Daito, we need you!
Daito, now!
1363
01:36:18,890 --> 01:36:21,032
Get to the bridge.
Go now, he's distracted.
1364
01:36:21,034 --> 01:36:21,995
Go, go, go.
1365
01:37:01,642 --> 01:37:02,601
Z!
1366
01:37:21,705 --> 01:37:23,433
Arty!
1367
01:37:23,435 --> 01:37:25,391
Get to the castle! Win the
third key before they do!
1368
01:37:36,201 --> 01:37:37,832
What is that?
1369
01:37:37,834 --> 01:37:39,914
He's only got 30 seconds
before changing back!
1370
01:37:50,890 --> 01:37:53,643
Daito, abort, abort!
You got 10 seconds!
1371
01:38:07,721 --> 01:38:08,680
First to the egg!
1372
01:38:46,729 --> 01:38:47,946
Shit, it's her.
1373
01:39:07,211 --> 01:39:10,216
Arty! Arty!
1374
01:39:10,218 --> 01:39:12,840
Z! Got to get
to the castle!
1375
01:39:18,601 --> 01:39:21,066
She never left.
She's still here.
1376
01:39:23,721 --> 01:39:25,449
The girl's in the war room.
1377
01:40:01,962 --> 01:40:03,435
No, no, no.
1378
01:40:17,001 --> 01:40:19,243
Sho! Hang on!
1379
01:40:38,090 --> 01:40:39,403
No!
1380
01:41:01,162 --> 01:41:02,984
Arty, we've got this.
You need to log out.
1381
01:41:02,986 --> 01:41:05,448
If the game is Adventure,
why haven't they won yet?
1382
01:41:05,450 --> 01:41:07,240
I don't know. Arty, Arty.
1383
01:41:07,242 --> 01:41:09,099
I'm serious, Sorrento's crazy.
He'll kill you.
1384
01:41:11,241 --> 01:41:13,128
What are you looking at?
1385
01:41:13,130 --> 01:41:14,986
There's nothing over there.
1386
01:41:16,011 --> 01:41:17,162
You're in trouble, aren't you?
1387
01:41:20,266 --> 01:41:23,689
Samantha, you know I love you.
1388
01:41:23,691 --> 01:41:25,000
Not the time, Z.
1389
01:41:25,002 --> 01:41:26,504
I can handle the challenge,
1390
01:41:26,505 --> 01:41:29,351
but I can't let you get hurt
in the real world.
1391
01:41:29,353 --> 01:41:32,202
Get out of IOI,
and meet us at River South.
1392
01:41:38,505 --> 01:41:39,976
Wade, no.
1393
01:41:39,978 --> 01:41:41,959
You'll forgive me
for this, I promise.
1394
01:41:41,961 --> 01:41:42,920
Wade, no, no, no.
1395
01:41:52,746 --> 01:41:56,073
Get it together, Sixer.
Back to respawn.
1396
01:41:56,075 --> 01:41:57,160
Let's go, move.
1397
01:41:57,162 --> 01:41:58,507
You're in.
1398
01:42:16,041 --> 01:42:18,376
Holy hand grenade!
How much did that cost?
1399
01:42:18,378 --> 01:42:20,907
Less than
it's gonna cost them.
1400
01:42:21,995 --> 01:42:23,435
What is that?
1401
01:42:33,385 --> 01:42:36,007
Sir, the gunters
are approaching the challenge.
1402
01:42:36,009 --> 01:42:37,928
- i-R0k?
- In position, sir.
1403
01:42:37,930 --> 01:42:39,144
Prepare my rig.
1404
01:42:39,146 --> 01:42:41,674
The ice is holding.
Still going.
1405
01:42:51,594 --> 01:42:52,872
Wait.
1406
01:42:52,874 --> 01:42:53,833
He's trying to win.
1407
01:42:57,193 --> 01:42:59,626
Yeah! I won.
1408
01:43:02,986 --> 01:43:04,872
He lost.
1409
01:43:04,874 --> 01:43:06,795
Not Adventure.
1410
01:43:10,762 --> 01:43:15,049
Everyone who wins loses.
1411
01:43:15,051 --> 01:43:18,187
It's not about winning.
It's about playing.
1412
01:43:19,273 --> 01:43:21,672
Remember
Halliday's announcement.
1413
01:43:21,674 --> 01:43:24,007
The keys are invisible, and
they're hidden in a dark room
1414
01:43:24,009 --> 01:43:26,472
that's at the center
of a maze.
1415
01:43:26,474 --> 01:43:29,992
Well, there's a secret in Adventure,
and you don't find it by winning.
1416
01:43:29,994 --> 01:43:32,808
You find it by wandering
around in a dark room.
1417
01:43:32,810 --> 01:43:34,248
Until you get
to the invisible dot.
1418
01:43:34,250 --> 01:43:36,071
It's pretty easy
if you know what you're doing.
1419
01:43:36,073 --> 01:43:37,098
Really?
1420
01:43:37,961 --> 01:43:40,424
Let me finish it for you.
1421
01:43:44,233 --> 01:43:46,087
It's your last chance, Wade.
1422
01:43:46,089 --> 01:43:48,680
Last chance. Give me the key.
1423
01:43:48,682 --> 01:43:53,704
I give you 50 million
in your account right now.
1424
01:43:53,706 --> 01:43:55,211
Why the hell
would I ever do that?
1425
01:43:57,130 --> 01:43:58,984
Dude!
That's the Cataclyst.
1426
01:43:58,986 --> 01:44:00,808
Now, personally, I don't care.
1427
01:44:00,810 --> 01:44:02,471
I'd just as soon never set
foot in the OASIS again,
1428
01:44:02,473 --> 01:44:04,552
let alone have to deal
with any of this absurdity.
1429
01:44:04,554 --> 01:44:09,543
But I know how important Halliday's
competition is to you, so...
1430
01:44:09,545 --> 01:44:13,608
I will never let the future of the OASIS
rest in your hands, Nolan Sorrento.
1431
01:44:13,610 --> 01:44:17,480
Well, that's fine.
Three easy steps. One.
1432
01:44:17,482 --> 01:44:20,040
Wait, I thought you were bluffing. You
know that kills all of us, right?
1433
01:44:20,042 --> 01:44:22,024
I've got 10 years' worth
of shit inside of me.
1434
01:44:22,026 --> 01:44:23,624
Last chance. Two.
1435
01:44:23,626 --> 01:44:24,969
I'm not goin' out like that.
1436
01:44:24,971 --> 01:44:26,441
That's a camper move.
1437
01:44:26,443 --> 01:44:28,054
You don't even know
how to activate an orb.
1438
01:44:39,210 --> 01:44:40,235
Yeah, I felt those.
1439
01:44:41,417 --> 01:44:43,595
But this is my world,
Sorrento.
1440
01:44:47,210 --> 01:44:48,587
Hadouken!
1441
01:45:07,401 --> 01:45:09,928
- No, no, no!
- Step three.
1442
01:45:09,930 --> 01:45:11,563
No, no, no!
1443
01:46:06,730 --> 01:46:08,330
Get me out of this thing.
1444
01:46:22,185 --> 01:46:23,561
Uh...
1445
01:46:23,563 --> 01:46:24,746
Guys?
1446
01:46:30,890 --> 01:46:32,650
Z. He's still alive!
1447
01:46:40,426 --> 01:46:42,154
Extra life.
1448
01:46:44,298 --> 01:46:45,835
Thanks, Curator.
1449
01:46:48,585 --> 01:46:49,675
Hold on.
1450
01:46:57,129 --> 01:46:59,624
Live feed
in all OASIS channels.
1451
01:46:59,625 --> 01:47:02,120
Halliday's letting everyone
watch the end of the contest.
1452
01:47:02,122 --> 01:47:03,431
That's so Halliday.
1453
01:47:03,433 --> 01:47:05,416
God damn it,
we tried Adventure.
1454
01:47:05,418 --> 01:47:07,112
No, we tried to win it.
1455
01:47:07,114 --> 01:47:09,288
But the hidden room isn't
at the end of the game.
1456
01:47:09,290 --> 01:47:12,106
You've gotta go straight to the
invisible dot at the start.
1457
01:47:25,002 --> 01:47:26,887
Is that her?
1458
01:47:26,889 --> 01:47:30,153
Red hair, IOI uniform, doesn't
know what planet she's on?
1459
01:47:30,155 --> 01:47:31,146
That's her.
1460
01:47:42,505 --> 01:47:45,130
I'm Toshiro.
You know me as Daito.
1461
01:47:47,722 --> 01:47:48,906
Oh.
1462
01:47:51,562 --> 01:47:52,907
Hey, Arty.
1463
01:47:54,890 --> 01:47:58,888
Yeah, I know. Not what
you were expecting, huh?
1464
01:47:58,889 --> 01:48:03,243
Yeah, I wasn't expecting
a late '30s-model postal van.
1465
01:48:05,226 --> 01:48:07,304
Wade?
1466
01:48:07,306 --> 01:48:09,192
Wait, I thought the Cataclyst went off.
How are you still playing?
1467
01:48:09,194 --> 01:48:11,595
Extra life, long story.
Sorry I shot you.
1468
01:48:13,642 --> 01:48:15,400
Sho?
1469
01:48:15,402 --> 01:48:17,832
What? Do I have to wear
a sign saying,
1470
01:48:17,834 --> 01:48:20,839
"I am 11 years old, shoot me first"?
No, thanks.
1471
01:48:20,841 --> 01:48:23,080
- Dude, give me a hug.
- Ninjas don't hug!
1472
01:48:23,082 --> 01:48:24,693
All right, everybody,
hold on to somethin'.
1473
01:48:45,257 --> 01:48:46,666
Got you.
1474
01:48:50,091 --> 01:48:51,915
Come on, Nolan. Pick up.
1475
01:48:53,833 --> 01:48:56,744
F'Nale, tell me
something good.
1476
01:48:56,745 --> 01:48:59,208
I've got a drone on their tail.
I'm close.
1477
01:48:59,210 --> 01:49:00,424
Send me coordinates.
1478
01:49:00,426 --> 01:49:02,569
Maybe you should
leave this to me, Nolan.
1479
01:49:04,266 --> 01:49:06,763
Nolan? Nolan.
1480
01:49:08,171 --> 01:49:09,227
Out.
1481
01:49:17,834 --> 01:49:20,203
Give me that.
1482
01:49:23,562 --> 01:49:25,387
What's goin' on out there?
1483
01:49:29,417 --> 01:49:31,946
The game is over for them.
What are they watching?
1484
01:49:34,154 --> 01:49:36,554
The final key!
It's being broadcast.
1485
01:49:38,569 --> 01:49:39,976
You see,
1486
01:49:39,978 --> 01:49:42,759
Warren Robinett
was proud of Adventure.
1487
01:49:42,761 --> 01:49:45,705
He wanted people to know
who was behind it.
1488
01:49:45,706 --> 01:49:48,328
That's why he created
the first digital Easter egg
1489
01:49:48,330 --> 01:49:50,920
and to find it,
you didn't even have to win.
1490
01:49:50,922 --> 01:49:54,919
You just had to blindly play,
searching around
1491
01:49:54,921 --> 01:49:58,888
in rooms for an invisible dot.
1492
01:49:58,889 --> 01:50:01,160
You took the dot
back to the main screen
1493
01:50:01,162 --> 01:50:05,800
and that's when you found the first
Easter egg ever put in a video game.
1494
01:50:05,802 --> 01:50:07,030
The creator's name.
1495
01:50:30,665 --> 01:50:32,680
What's going on, man?
I can't see shit.
1496
01:50:32,682 --> 01:50:33,995
Parzival just got
the Crystal Key!
1497
01:50:48,682 --> 01:50:50,315
Do you want it or not?
1498
01:50:53,514 --> 01:50:55,528
Aech,
what the hell's going on?
1499
01:50:55,529 --> 01:50:57,448
Just practicing my Mario Kart.
What do you think?
1500
01:50:57,450 --> 01:50:59,403
IOI's trying to kill us, man!
1501
01:51:13,065 --> 01:51:15,305
Everyone watching, if you're
in the Columbus stacks,
1502
01:51:15,307 --> 01:51:17,288
this is Parzival.
1503
01:51:17,290 --> 01:51:19,399
My real-world name is Wade Watts,
and we're gonna need your help.
1504
01:51:19,401 --> 01:51:20,711
Aech, head for the stacks!
1505
01:51:20,713 --> 01:51:23,081
Okay, hold on!
1506
01:51:46,730 --> 01:51:48,586
Stick the key in,
how hard is it?
1507
01:51:54,089 --> 01:51:55,210
Come on.
1508
01:52:02,347 --> 01:52:04,267
Yeah! Yes!
1509
01:52:19,850 --> 01:52:21,003
That's it?
1510
01:52:21,802 --> 01:52:23,591
Yeah, that's it.
1511
01:52:23,593 --> 01:52:27,911
Now, you just sign these papers,
and the OASIS is yours.
1512
01:52:27,913 --> 01:52:31,849
You will be
its sole proprietor.
1513
01:52:31,851 --> 01:52:33,451
That ain't so bad, is it?
1514
01:52:54,410 --> 01:52:55,403
I'm gonna need a second.
1515
01:53:22,731 --> 01:53:25,449
This is wrong.
1516
01:53:25,451 --> 01:53:28,203
This pen, this contract.
1517
01:53:31,306 --> 01:53:33,000
This is the moment
that Halliday made Morrow
1518
01:53:33,002 --> 01:53:35,464
sign over his shares
in Gregarious.
1519
01:53:35,466 --> 01:53:38,024
That was the biggest mistake
of his life.
1520
01:53:38,025 --> 01:53:39,882
He knew that.
1521
01:53:41,771 --> 01:53:43,723
This can't be the end.
1522
01:53:44,682 --> 01:53:46,507
It's a test.
1523
01:53:50,890 --> 01:53:53,259
I won't make
the same mistake you did.
1524
01:53:58,922 --> 01:54:00,714
Oh, good.
1525
01:54:03,307 --> 01:54:06,603
I just needed to be sure.
1526
01:54:20,042 --> 01:54:22,155
This is where you grew up.
1527
01:54:30,858 --> 01:54:33,671
Oh, that's just me
a long time ago.
1528
01:54:33,673 --> 01:54:37,320
I like to have him around
from time to time.
1529
01:54:37,322 --> 01:54:39,528
Hey, I have
to show you something.
1530
01:54:39,530 --> 01:54:41,159
This, uh... Come on.
1531
01:54:41,161 --> 01:54:42,920
This is the button.
1532
01:54:42,922 --> 01:54:46,089
If you push it, the whole
simulation shuts down
1533
01:54:46,091 --> 01:54:49,544
and a tapeworm program will erase
all of the backup servers.
1534
01:54:49,546 --> 01:54:52,969
So you now have the power
to turn the OASIS off forever.
1535
01:54:52,971 --> 01:54:54,667
Do you understand?
1536
01:54:59,690 --> 01:55:01,001
Yeah,
1537
01:55:01,003 --> 01:55:02,887
try not to accidentally erase
1538
01:55:02,889 --> 01:55:05,259
the whole of the OASIS
on your first day.
1539
01:55:14,443 --> 01:55:15,883
The stacks are straight ahead!
1540
01:55:31,242 --> 01:55:34,089
Well, I expect you have to go.
I know I do.
1541
01:55:34,091 --> 01:55:36,521
So, now is the time for you
to receive your prize
1542
01:55:36,523 --> 01:55:38,952
because you won
all three keys.
1543
01:55:38,954 --> 01:55:43,464
Once you take this egg,
the game will be over.
1544
01:55:43,466 --> 01:55:46,411
The egg, the egg...
1545
01:55:53,353 --> 01:55:55,880
We know what you did here.
1546
01:55:55,882 --> 01:55:59,051
You turn around and walk out
of here while you still can.
1547
01:56:11,146 --> 01:56:13,608
I created the OASIS
1548
01:56:13,610 --> 01:56:18,153
because I never felt at home
in the real world.
1549
01:56:18,155 --> 01:56:22,248
I just didn't know how to
connect with the people there.
1550
01:56:22,250 --> 01:56:25,800
I was afraid
for all of my life.
1551
01:56:25,802 --> 01:56:28,427
Right up until the day
I knew my life was ending.
1552
01:56:33,641 --> 01:56:38,439
Now, that... That was when
I realized that,
1553
01:56:38,441 --> 01:56:43,338
as terrifying and painful
as reality can be,
1554
01:56:44,362 --> 01:56:48,011
it's also the only place
1555
01:56:49,801 --> 01:56:51,371
that you can get
a decent meal.
1556
01:56:57,771 --> 01:56:59,211
Because
1557
01:57:00,682 --> 01:57:02,410
reality
1558
01:57:07,371 --> 01:57:08,968
is real.
1559
01:57:08,970 --> 01:57:10,603
You understand
what I'm saying?
1560
01:57:12,170 --> 01:57:14,890
Yes. Yes, I do.
1561
01:57:24,265 --> 01:57:25,482
He did it.
1562
01:57:27,114 --> 01:57:28,330
He got the egg.
1563
01:57:29,321 --> 01:57:30,314
Hooray.
1564
01:57:31,626 --> 01:57:33,195
- No!
- No! Please!
1565
01:58:05,385 --> 01:58:06,603
Hold it!
1566
01:58:08,586 --> 01:58:12,199
Drop the gun! Now!
On the ground!
1567
01:58:12,201 --> 01:58:14,824
Turn around!
Hands on your head.
1568
01:58:14,826 --> 01:58:16,331
Walk back towards me.
1569
01:58:31,402 --> 01:58:36,423
Mr. Halliday.
Something I don't understand.
1570
01:58:36,425 --> 01:58:39,050
You're not an avatar, are you?
1571
01:58:39,434 --> 01:58:41,195
No.
1572
01:58:42,667 --> 01:58:44,587
Is Halliday really dead?
1573
01:58:46,186 --> 01:58:47,723
Yes.
1574
01:58:53,226 --> 01:58:54,731
Then what are you?
1575
01:58:58,027 --> 01:58:59,915
Goodbye, Parzival.
1576
01:59:01,514 --> 01:59:02,473
Thanks.
1577
01:59:04,041 --> 01:59:06,155
Thanks for playing my game.
1578
01:59:33,994 --> 01:59:35,050
Wade?
1579
01:59:36,586 --> 01:59:38,440
- Ogden Morrow?
- Ogden Morrow?
1580
01:59:38,442 --> 01:59:40,520
You can call me "Og."
1581
01:59:40,522 --> 01:59:43,367
Now, there are some people out here
that would very much like to meet you.
1582
01:59:43,369 --> 01:59:46,472
Wow, this is incredible.
1583
01:59:46,474 --> 01:59:49,131
It's an honor to meet you,
Og, but I...
1584
01:59:53,161 --> 01:59:54,762
There's something
I need to do first.
1585
01:59:58,507 --> 02:00:00,011
I'm not like Halliday.
1586
02:00:03,786 --> 02:00:05,771
I'm taking the leap.
1587
02:00:21,547 --> 02:00:24,551
We're looking for Wade Watts.
1588
02:00:24,553 --> 02:00:26,728
We need you to make a statement
about the clip you sent in
1589
02:00:26,730 --> 02:00:28,840
of Nolan Sorrento's
confession.
1590
02:00:28,842 --> 02:00:31,464
Uh, that was me.
1591
02:00:31,466 --> 02:00:33,739
What? I record everything
in my workshop.
1592
02:00:40,074 --> 02:00:41,866
Help me out of this.
1593
02:00:47,945 --> 02:00:49,960
Who are you guys?
1594
02:00:49,962 --> 02:00:54,283
The people you need right now, lawyers.
From Gregarious Games.
1595
02:00:56,810 --> 02:00:58,571
They want
your signature, Wade.
1596
02:01:06,185 --> 02:01:08,360
I'm splitting it with my clan.
1597
02:01:08,362 --> 02:01:10,090
We're gonna
run things together.
1598
02:01:14,443 --> 02:01:16,553
That's a good choice.
1599
02:01:43,210 --> 02:01:46,664
F'Nale, listen to me
very carefully.
1600
02:01:54,954 --> 02:01:57,768
Mr. Morrow... I mean, Og,
1601
02:01:57,770 --> 02:01:59,208
how'd you get here so fast?
1602
02:01:59,210 --> 02:02:01,799
I flew from the stars
on my magic sleigh.
1603
02:02:01,801 --> 02:02:04,265
Everyone's been watching.
1604
02:02:04,267 --> 02:02:07,371
Of course, I've been watching
a little closer than most.
1605
02:02:11,241 --> 02:02:13,063
You?
1606
02:02:13,065 --> 02:02:14,250
You're the Curator?
1607
02:02:17,834 --> 02:02:21,159
Well played, Parzival.
1608
02:02:21,161 --> 02:02:23,111
Jim told me
nothing about the contest,
1609
02:02:23,113 --> 02:02:26,344
so there was no rule about me
losing a bet to a smart kid.
1610
02:02:26,346 --> 02:02:28,871
Not that you needed my help.
1611
02:02:28,873 --> 02:02:32,839
You figured out that Kira
was the key on your own.
1612
02:02:32,841 --> 02:02:35,563
Yeah, but...
Kira wasn't the key.
1613
02:02:36,651 --> 02:02:38,442
It was you, Mr. Morrow.
1614
02:02:40,491 --> 02:02:42,440
You were the Rosebud.
1615
02:02:42,442 --> 02:02:44,555
And Halliday's
biggest regret was
1616
02:02:46,186 --> 02:02:47,723
losing his only friend.
1617
02:02:51,786 --> 02:02:53,831
You know,
Jim used to say the OASIS
1618
02:02:53,833 --> 02:02:56,394
was never supposed to be
a one-player game.
1619
02:02:59,947 --> 02:03:02,440
Now, who do we have here?
1620
02:03:02,442 --> 02:03:05,193
Oh. Well, look who it is.
1621
02:03:05,195 --> 02:03:06,888
It's my heroes, the High Five.
1622
02:03:06,890 --> 02:03:08,296
- You must be Art3mis.
- Samantha.
1623
02:03:08,298 --> 02:03:10,152
The High Five
took over the OASIS,
1624
02:03:10,154 --> 02:03:12,168
and the first thing we did
1625
02:03:12,170 --> 02:03:15,079
was sign Ogden Morrow to
a non-exclusive consultancy.
1626
02:03:15,081 --> 02:03:17,960
The salary, per his demand,
1627
02:03:17,962 --> 02:03:21,287
was 25 cents. One quarter.
1628
02:03:24,362 --> 02:03:26,472
With his guidance,
our second move was to ban
1629
02:03:26,474 --> 02:03:29,992
any loyalty centers
from accessing the OASIS.
1630
02:03:29,994 --> 02:03:33,098
IOI had no choice.
They shut 'em all down.
1631
02:03:35,945 --> 02:03:38,824
The third thing we did
wasn't as popular.
1632
02:03:38,826 --> 02:03:42,664
We closed the OASIS
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
1633
02:03:42,666 --> 02:03:45,064
I know, it sounds
like a weird move,
1634
02:03:45,066 --> 02:03:47,659
but people need to spend
more time in the real world.
1635
02:03:49,450 --> 02:03:52,392
'Cause, like Halliday said,
1636
02:03:52,394 --> 02:03:56,555
reality is the only thing
that's real.
1637
02:03:57,627 --> 02:04:02,423
