(1980s ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
4
00:01:17,339 --> 00:01:21,408
ANNOUNCER: Get ready for the
feel, the feel of real. X1.
5
00:01:21,410 --> 00:01:22,979
No pain, no gain.
6
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,696
(GRUNTING)
7
00:01:45,066 --> 00:01:46,468
Pizza, guys.
8
00:01:52,408 --> 00:01:53,610
WADE: Whoo-hoo!
9

(GRUNTING)
10
00:02:08,057 --> 00:02:09,589
Hello, Wade.
11
00:02:09,591 --> 00:02:11,325
Hello, Mrs. Gilmore.
12
00:02:11,327 --> 00:02:13,962
What's the matter?
Life getting you down?
13
00:02:16,065 --> 00:02:17,065
(MRS. GILMORE CHUCKLES)
14
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:21,434
WADE: I was born in 2027.
15
00:02:21,436 --> 00:02:25,037
After the Corn Syrup Droughts,
after the Bandwidth Riots.
16
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:27,440
After people stopped trying
to fix problems
17
00:02:27,442 --> 00:02:29,678
and just tried
to outlive them.
18
00:02:36,117 --> 00:02:38,785
My parents, they didn't make
it through those times,
19
00:02:38,787 --> 00:02:42,755
so I live here in Columbus,
Ohio, with my Aunt Alice.
20
00:02:42,757 --> 00:02:48,095
In 2045, Columbus is the
fastest-growing city on Earth.
21
00:02:48,097 --> 00:02:51,367
It's where Halliday and Morrow
started Gregarious Games.
22
00:02:56,104 --> 00:02:58,704
These days,
reality is a bummer.
23
00:02:58,706 --> 00:03:00,673
Everyone is looking
for a way to escape,
24
00:03:00,675 --> 00:03:02,007
and that's why Halliday...
25
00:03:02,009 --> 00:03:05,045
That's why he was
such a hero to us.
26
00:03:05,047 --> 00:03:08,550
He showed us that we could go somewhere
without going anywhere at all.
27
00:03:10,551 --> 00:03:12,119
You don't need a destination
28
00:03:12,121 --> 00:03:14,053
when you're running on
an omnidirectional treadmill
29
00:03:14,055 --> 00:03:16,325
with quadraphonic,
pressure-sensitive underlay.
30
00:03:17,126 --> 00:03:19,726
James Halliday saw the future.
31
00:03:19,728 --> 00:03:21,460
And then he built it.
32
00:03:21,462 --> 00:03:23,630
He gave us a place to go.
33
00:03:23,632 --> 00:03:25,965
A place called
34
00:03:25,967 --> 00:03:27,336
the OASIS.
35
00:03:31,740 --> 00:03:33,976
(CHORUS SINGING)
36
00:03:40,515 --> 00:03:42,916
This is the OASIS.
37
00:03:42,918 --> 00:03:47,023
It's a place where the limits of
reality are your own imagination.
38
00:04:00,502 --> 00:04:02,572
- You can do anything...
- (CROWD CHEERING)
39
00:04:03,604 --> 00:04:04,607
...go anywhere.
40
00:04:06,041 --> 00:04:07,908
Like the vacation planet.
41
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:10,709
Surf a 50-foot monster wave
in Hawaii.
42
00:04:10,711 --> 00:04:13,613
- You can ski down the pyramids.
- (SKIERS WHOOPING)
43
00:04:13,615 --> 00:04:15,515
You can climb Mount Everest
44
00:04:15,517 --> 00:04:16,952
with Batman.
45
00:04:19,721 --> 00:04:23,156
Check out this place. It's a
casino the size of a planet.
46
00:04:23,158 --> 00:04:25,024
You can lose your money there.
47
00:04:25,026 --> 00:04:27,226
You can get married.
You can get divorced.
48
00:04:27,228 --> 00:04:31,063
You can...
You can go in there.
49
00:04:31,065 --> 00:04:34,166
People come to the OASIS for
all the things they can do,
50
00:04:34,168 --> 00:04:37,472
but they stay because of all
the things they can be.
51
00:04:39,041 --> 00:04:42,808
Tall, beautiful, scary,
a different sex,
52
00:04:42,810 --> 00:04:46,046
a different species,
live-action, cartoon.
53
00:04:46,048 --> 00:04:48,647
It's all your call.
54
00:04:48,649 --> 00:04:51,985
Yeah, that's me.
Well, that's my avatar.
55
00:04:51,987 --> 00:04:55,955
At least, until I feel
like changing it.
56
00:04:55,957 --> 00:04:58,190
Except for eating, sleeping,
and bathroom breaks,
57
00:04:58,192 --> 00:05:02,262
whatever people wanna do,
they do it in the OASIS.
58
00:05:02,264 --> 00:05:05,265
And since everyone is here, this
is where we meet each other.
59
00:05:05,267 --> 00:05:06,800
It's where we make friends.
60
00:05:06,802 --> 00:05:09,135
Locate Aech.
61
00:05:09,137 --> 00:05:11,206
- (BEEPING)
- COMPUTER: Locating Aech.
62
00:05:14,276 --> 00:05:16,142
Aech located.
63
00:05:16,144 --> 00:05:19,645
Sector 12. Planet Doom.
64
00:05:19,647 --> 00:05:22,983
WADE: Planet Doom, the most
dangerous place in the OASIS,
65
00:05:22,985 --> 00:05:26,086
and a pretty great place
to pick up coin.
66
00:05:26,088 --> 00:05:27,623
Figures Aech would be there.
67
00:05:30,291 --> 00:05:33,760
Aech is my best friend
in the OASIS.
68
00:05:33,762 --> 00:05:36,228
He's my best friend, period.
69
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:39,067
Even though I've never actually
met him in the real world.
70
00:05:43,170 --> 00:05:45,305
- WADE: What's up, Aech?
- Hey, what up, Z?
71
00:05:45,307 --> 00:05:47,940
Next race is in 20 minutes,
and I can't do the late one.
72
00:05:47,942 --> 00:05:49,642
What the hell are you up to?
73
00:05:49,644 --> 00:05:52,279
Man, gettin' my kills on, bro.
74
00:05:52,281 --> 00:05:53,313
Is that Daito?
75
00:05:53,315 --> 00:05:55,050
Daito and Sho.
76
00:05:59,187 --> 00:06:00,622
(BOTH SPEAKING JAPANESE)
77
00:06:01,322 --> 00:06:02,988
This an artifact hunt?
78
00:06:02,990 --> 00:06:05,291
Yup. Gregarious 120.
79
00:06:05,293 --> 00:06:09,863
Turn into any giant robot
for two minutes. That's rad.
80
00:06:09,865 --> 00:06:11,167
WADE: Artifacts.
81
00:06:11,966 --> 00:06:14,834
Those were key.
82
00:06:14,836 --> 00:06:17,003
Halliday made sure
the OASIS was littered
83
00:06:17,005 --> 00:06:19,705
with enough
randomly powerful stuff
84
00:06:19,707 --> 00:06:24,077
that anyone could win
if they had the skills.
85
00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:26,913
Death matches and artifact hunts
are a good way to coin-snatch,
86
00:06:26,915 --> 00:06:29,683
but depending on your level
of armor, they're risky.
87
00:06:29,685 --> 00:06:31,183
(LAUGHS)
88
00:06:31,185 --> 00:06:33,320
You see,
everyone starts the same,
89
00:06:33,322 --> 00:06:34,988
but the more coin you make...
90
00:06:34,990 --> 00:06:37,156
- Mom! Mom!
- ...the more you level up.
91
00:06:37,158 --> 00:06:39,058
If you get killed, your avatar
can come back to life...
92
00:06:39,060 --> 00:06:40,360
Go get your dad!
93
00:06:40,362 --> 00:06:41,831
...but you lose
all your stuff.
94
00:06:42,197 --> 00:06:43,829
(GRUNTS)
95
00:06:43,831 --> 00:06:45,601
Everything you've
ever worked for.
96
00:06:46,334 --> 00:06:48,000
All your money.
97
00:06:48,002 --> 00:06:50,036
(SHOUTS IN OTHER LANGUAGE)
98
00:06:50,038 --> 00:06:51,370

100
00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:55,175
Your weapons.
101
00:06:55,177 --> 00:06:57,777
Since people spend most of
their time in the OASIS...
102
00:06:57,779 --> 00:07:00,613
(SHOUTING IN JAPANESE)
103
00:07:00,615 --> 00:07:02,248
...losing your shit means...
104
00:07:02,250 --> 00:07:05,084
Well, losing your shit.
105
00:07:05,086 --> 00:07:07,253
(1980s POP MUSIC PLAYING)
106
00:07:07,255 --> 00:07:09,889
Aech, 10 minutes
until the race starts.
107
00:07:09,891 --> 00:07:12,091
AECH: Okay, Mom, I heard you.
108
00:07:12,093 --> 00:07:16,228
WADE: You see, the OASIS was the
brainchild of James Halliday.
109
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:21,133
He and his partner, Ogden Morrow,
released the first OASIS build in 2025.
110
00:07:21,135 --> 00:07:25,404
It was an instant success, and
it made them both very rich.
111
00:07:25,406 --> 00:07:29,041
But Morrow was out of the picture
after a few years. And Halliday?
112
00:07:29,043 --> 00:07:32,378
He wasn't just the owner of
the world's biggest company.
113
00:07:32,380 --> 00:07:36,315
He was like a god.
People loved him.
114
00:07:36,317 --> 00:07:38,284
They worshiped him
as much as his creation.
115
00:07:38,286 --> 00:07:41,320
Maybe we should stop
talking about it
116
00:07:41,322 --> 00:07:43,822
and start, uh, showing it.
117
00:07:43,824 --> 00:07:46,125
If you all wanna reach
under your seats,
118
00:07:46,127 --> 00:07:48,260
you'll find that there's nothing there.

- But we're gonna... we're each gonna bring you one now.
120
00:07:52,668 --> 00:07:56,803
WADE: And then,
on January 7, 2040...
121
00:07:56,805 --> 00:07:58,841
(MUSIC DISTORTS)
122
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,642
He died.
123
00:08:03,678 --> 00:08:05,598
- (ORGAN MUSIC PLAYING)
- And what he left behind
124
00:08:06,281 --> 00:08:08,817
changed everything.
125
00:08:21,363 --> 00:08:25,397
Hello. I am James Halliday.
126
00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:29,034
If you're watching this,
I'm dead.
127
00:08:29,036 --> 00:08:36,276
Before I died, I created what we
in the biz call an "Easter egg."
128
00:08:36,278 --> 00:08:43,119
A hidden object in a game that gives
special powers to whoever discovers it.
129
00:08:44,418 --> 00:08:47,186
The first person
to find the egg
130
00:08:47,188 --> 00:08:50,422
I've hidden somewhere
inside the OASIS
131
00:08:50,424 --> 00:08:54,460

in Gregarious Games,

currently valued in excess
of half a million do...
133
00:08:58,332 --> 00:09:01,334
Uh, half a trillion
dollars' worth,
134
00:09:01,336 --> 00:09:07,806
and total control
of the OASIS itself.
135
00:09:07,808 --> 00:09:13,512
In the form of my avatar,
Anorak the All-Knowing,
136
00:09:13,514 --> 00:09:17,182
I created three keys.
137
00:09:17,184 --> 00:09:20,628
Three hidden challenges
test for worthy traits
138
00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:25,166
revealing three hidden keys
to three magic gates.
139
00:09:25,168 --> 00:09:29,336
And those with the skill
to survive these straits
140
00:09:29,338 --> 00:09:34,142
will reach the end,
where the prize awaits.
141
00:09:34,144 --> 00:09:36,647
Off you go, keys.
142
00:09:38,781 --> 00:09:43,784
The keys aren't just laying
around under a rock somewhere.
143
00:09:43,786 --> 00:09:46,720
I suppose you could say
they're invisible,
144
00:09:46,722 --> 00:09:50,457
hidden in a dark room
that's at the center of a maze
145
00:09:50,459 --> 00:09:53,363
that's located somewhere
146
00:09:54,363 --> 00:09:56,797
up here.
147
00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:00,636
Let the hunt
for Halliday's Easter egg
148
00:10:01,504 --> 00:10:02,803
begin.
149
00:10:02,805 --> 00:10:04,607
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
150
00:10:08,845 --> 00:10:11,479
WADE: The challenge
is to find three keys,
151
00:10:11,481 --> 00:10:15,082
but in five years, no one
has even gotten one key.
152
00:10:15,084 --> 00:10:18,085
And the big scoreboard?
Still empty.
153
00:10:18,087 --> 00:10:19,821
Some long-forgotten gunter
cracked the first clue
154
00:10:19,823 --> 00:10:21,688
and found the first challenge.
155
00:10:21,690 --> 00:10:24,591
Then, this portal appeared.
156
00:10:24,593 --> 00:10:28,054
But the challenge to win the first
key was a race designed by Halliday
157
00:10:28,056 --> 00:10:31,056
that was so hard,
no one had ever finished it.
158
00:10:31,058 --> 00:10:34,759
The only ones still trying are the
gunters, as in "egg hunters,"
159
00:10:34,761 --> 00:10:38,330
like me and Sho and Daito,
and my best friend, Aech.
160
00:10:38,332 --> 00:10:41,934
Oh, and of course, the Sixers.
161
00:10:41,936 --> 00:10:43,102
The Sixers work for IOI...
162
00:10:43,104 --> 00:10:44,903
COMMANDER: Sixers!
163
00:10:44,905 --> 00:10:46,638
WADE: ...Innovative
Online Industries.
164
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,107
They're the second-largest
company in the world
165
00:10:48,109 --> 00:10:50,343
with designs
on becoming the first.
166
00:10:50,345 --> 00:10:52,110
Which is why they're putting
everything they got
167
00:10:52,112 --> 00:10:53,646
into winning
Halliday's contest.
168
00:10:53,648 --> 00:10:55,283
Buckle up!
169
00:10:56,116 --> 00:10:58,350
Sit in!
170
00:10:58,352 --> 00:11:01,020
WADE: We call 'em "Sixers"
'cause that's the company rule.
171
00:11:01,022 --> 00:11:04,089
No name, just numbers.
172
00:11:04,091 --> 00:11:07,126
They have a support team
made up of Halliday scholars.
173
00:11:07,128 --> 00:11:09,829
Like me, they spend all their

00:22:33,380 --> 00:22:35,647
Or maybe...
347
00:22:35,649 --> 00:22:38,149
Maybe it's because
that line means something
348
00:22:38,151 --> 00:22:39,650
and I missed it.
349
00:22:39,652 --> 00:22:40,755
(POP MUSIC PLAYING)
350
00:22:42,656 --> 00:22:44,222
The day the contest
was announced,
351
00:22:44,224 --> 00:22:46,558
the Halliday Journals
appeared.
352
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,727
He told us to look in his brain.
This was the next best thing.
353
00:22:49,729 --> 00:22:53,231
At first, it was jammed with
gunters looking for answers.
354
00:22:53,233 --> 00:22:55,666
Now, the once-crowded halls
of Halliday's memories
355
00:22:55,668 --> 00:22:57,135
are left to people like me.
356
00:22:57,137 --> 00:22:59,704
Parzival. Oh, joy!
357
00:22:59,706 --> 00:23:03,407
And how will you eat up
my valuable search time today?
358
00:23:03,409 --> 00:23:05,577
Gregarious Games, 2029...
Office party.
359
00:23:05,579 --> 00:23:08,746
Office party. Yes, you've only
seen it a thousand times.
360
00:23:08,748 --> 00:23:11,515
Why not go back?
361
00:23:11,517 --> 00:23:15,220
Each entry into Halliday's
Journals is meticulously assembled
362
00:23:15,222 --> 00:23:17,722
from personal photographs,
home video recordings,
363
00:23:17,724 --> 00:23:19,657
surveillance, and nanny cams.
364
00:23:19,659 --> 00:23:23,494
All rendered into a three-dimensional
virtual experience.
365
00:23:23,496 --> 00:23:27,165
Also, Halliday archived every film,
game, book, and television program
366
00:23:27,167 --> 00:23:30,502
he ever saw,
located on the mezzanine.
367
00:23:30,504 --> 00:23:33,871
No weapons or mature-themed avatars
are permitted within the Journals.
368
00:23:33,873 --> 00:23:37,876
Please enjoy your time with
us, and happy gunting!
369
00:23:37,878 --> 00:23:39,711
HALLIDAY: I like cleaning up.
370
00:23:39,713 --> 00:23:42,082
MORROW: Okay, Jim,
I'm, uh... I'm going.
371
00:23:46,853 --> 00:23:49,820
Everything changes, Jim.
Everything evolves.
372
00:23:49,822 --> 00:23:53,390
HALLIDAY: Some things are perfect
just the way they are. Asteroids.
373
00:23:53,392 --> 00:23:57,398
People don't live inside
an Asteroids arcade cabinet.
374
00:23:58,764 --> 00:24:00,631
I know that.
375
00:24:00,633 --> 00:24:02,868
Yeah, well, people are living
inside the arcade we built.
376
00:24:02,870 --> 00:24:04,836
- I built.
- Uh, well... (SIGHS)
377
00:24:04,838 --> 00:24:07,739
Right. Well, I guess you
can say whatever you want.
378
00:24:07,741 --> 00:24:09,273
I don't really wanna
talk about it anymore.
379
00:24:09,275 --> 00:24:10,442
No, of course
you don't wanna talk about it.
380
00:24:10,444 --> 00:24:11,877
You're forcing me out.
381
00:24:11,879 --> 00:24:13,410
Closer on Halliday.
382
00:24:13,412 --> 00:24:15,280
Look, invention
comes with responsibilities
383
00:24:15,282 --> 00:24:17,448
you didn't ask for.
384
00:24:17,450 --> 00:24:19,650
All right, if you make
something people want or need
385
00:24:19,652 --> 00:24:22,454
then it's up to you to set the limits.
You have to make some rules.
386
00:24:22,456 --> 00:24:23,855
(WHISPERS) "I don't wanna
make any more rules."
387
00:24:23,857 --> 00:24:25,890
I don't wanna make
any more rules.
388
00:24:25,892 --> 00:24:27,324
"I'm a dreamer."
389
00:24:27,326 --> 00:24:28,627
I'm a dreamer.
390
00:24:28,629 --> 00:24:31,562
- I build worlds.
- "I build worlds."
391
00:24:31,564 --> 00:24:34,331
We created something beautiful,
Jim, but it's changed.
392
00:24:34,333 --> 00:24:35,766
Okay? It's really
not a game anymore.
393
00:24:35,768 --> 00:24:37,601
Are we finished?
394
00:24:37,603 --> 00:24:41,875
I liked how things were
when they were...
395
00:24:43,576 --> 00:24:45,743
When it was a game.
396
00:24:45,745 --> 00:24:48,512
And we're back to where we started.
But that's the point, isn't it?
397
00:24:48,514 --> 00:24:50,814
Things move forward
whether you like it or not.
398
00:24:50,816 --> 00:24:52,951
Yeah, we're finished.
399
00:24:52,953 --> 00:24:54,789
MORROW: (SCOFFS) Fine.
400
00:24:56,822 --> 00:25:00,794
HALLIDAY: Why can't we
go backwards, for once?
401
00:25:02,963 --> 00:25:07,365
Backwards, really fast.
Fast as we can. (LAUGHS)
402
00:25:07,367 --> 00:25:09,466
Really put the pedal to
the metal, you know?
403
00:25:09,468 --> 00:25:11,970
Go back 10 seconds!
404
00:25:11,972 --> 00:25:16,808
Why can't we go backwards,
for once?
405
00:25:16,810 --> 00:25:21,213
Backwards, really fast.
Fast as we can. (LAUGHS)
406
00:25:21,215 --> 00:25:23,751
Really put the pedal to
the metal, you know?
407
00:25:24,818 --> 00:25:26,818
Bill and Ted did it.
408

(BREATHING HEAVILY)
409
00:25:47,940 --> 00:25:49,943
Back again so soon?
410
00:25:51,745 --> 00:25:53,880
Careful not to lose your shit.
411
00:25:57,985 --> 00:26:00,351
You figured something out.
412
00:26:00,353 --> 00:26:02,523
- Parzival, tell me.

Nice racing, Padawan.
You're the first to finish.

(STAMMERING)
Mr. Halliday... Anorak.
423
00:27:53,367 --> 00:27:54,933
It's such an honor.
424
00:27:54,935 --> 00:27:56,971
The honor is all mine.
425
00:28:08,114 --> 00:28:10,050
Get yourself a clue.
426
00:28:25,629 --> 00:28:28,031
Who is this Parzival, and
how the hell is he winning?
427
00:28:28,033 --> 00:28:30,868
Well, here's a better question.
Who cares?
428
00:28:30,870 --> 00:28:32,971
Halliday's contest
is vitally important.
429
00:28:32,973 --> 00:28:36,073
I mean, it's nothing less than a
war for control of the future.
430
00:28:36,075 --> 00:28:39,109
But this Parzival?
He's not even clanned up.
431
00:28:39,111 --> 00:28:42,647
He's alone. We have an army.
432
00:28:42,649 --> 00:28:44,182
EXECUTIVE: And yet,
he's got the first key.
433
00:28:44,184 --> 00:28:46,050
Yeah, he has a key,
434
00:28:46,052 --> 00:28:49,052
but you have to get three
of 'em to win the contest.
435
00:28:49,054 --> 00:28:51,923
Our stock dove 6% yesterday.
436

Loyalty division is reporting
profits of 28%. F'Nale.
437
00:28:55,896 --> 00:28:58,730
We're opening five new
loyalty centers this month.
438
00:28:58,732 --> 00:29:00,764
Debt Services dwarfs Hardware.
439
00:29:00,766 --> 00:29:02,833
Now, you really wanna talk
to me about stock prices?
440
00:29:02,835 --> 00:29:04,868
The shareholders
won't be happy.
441
00:29:04,870 --> 00:29:07,539
It's not our job to make them happy.
It's our job to make them money,
442
00:29:07,541 --> 00:29:11,579
but once we launch this little
baby, they're gonna flip.
443
00:29:12,912 --> 00:29:16,114
We call this Pure O2.

This is the first
of our planned upgrades.

Once we can roll back some of
Halliday's ad restrictions,
446
00:29:20,620 --> 00:29:24,688
we estimate
we can sell up to 80%
447
00:29:24,690 --> 00:29:30,093
of an individual's visual field before
inducing seizures, so picture this...
448
00:29:30,095 --> 00:29:33,099
All of this implies
we win the contest.
449
00:29:36,069 --> 00:29:38,235
Indeed, it does.

Dude, you won the key
and 100,000 coins?
452
00:29:42,809 --> 00:29:44,108
As soon as I took the key,
453
00:29:44,110 --> 00:29:46,211
all the coins
just appeared in my account.

soiling my haptics right now.

A bomb. Kills every avatar
on a planet, even the owner.

AECH: Who'd want that?
458
00:29:58,958 --> 00:30:00,960
WADE: IOI.
They buy everything.
459
00:30:02,128 --> 00:30:05,128
Twenty-thou
for the holy hand grenade?
460
00:30:05,130 --> 00:30:06,801
That's a steal!
461
00:30:09,135 --> 00:30:12,971
Whoa! Zemeckis Cube!
I need one of those.
462
00:30:12,973 --> 00:30:14,642

all your money.

Oh, yeah!

i-R0k, old friend.
How are you?
466
00:31:35,088 --> 00:31:36,753
To be honest,
I have kind of a neck thing.
467
00:31:36,755 --> 00:31:38,723
It's like a carpel-tunnel deal
468
00:31:38,725 --> 00:31:40,591
but with your neck,
if that's even a thing.
469
00:31:40,593 --> 00:31:43,226
So if you could just stand
to... to your right.
470
00:31:43,228 --> 00:31:44,230
My right, your left.
471
00:31:46,366 --> 00:31:49,670
Thanks, it's the repetitive stress.
Oh. (CHUCKLES)
472
00:31:50,770 --> 00:31:51,872
Here he is.
473
00:31:54,006 --> 00:31:59,010
The steampunk pirate king.
I knew him well, Sorrento.
474
00:31:59,012 --> 00:32:01,378
There are only three things
in this world I hate,
475
00:32:01,380 --> 00:32:05,349
steampunk, pirates,
and tabbouleh.
476
00:32:05,351 --> 00:32:08,185
I mean,
why do they even have it?
477
00:32:08,187 --> 00:32:10,887
Is there a reason
we're meeting here?
478
00:32:10,889 --> 00:32:16,127
Yes, Nolan. The Orb of Osuvox.
479
00:32:16,129 --> 00:32:19,233
You wanted it. He had it.
And so here it is.
480
00:32:23,268 --> 00:32:27,237
It creates an impenetrable magic
shield that can only be taken down
481
00:32:27,239 --> 00:32:29,406
by a magic spell.
482
00:32:29,408 --> 00:32:32,042
The Orb of Osuvox.
483
00:32:32,044 --> 00:32:33,243
Don't say that again.
484
00:32:33,245 --> 00:32:34,281
Okay.
485
00:32:36,716 --> 00:32:40,417
Now, I'm gonna need you
to keep this for now.
486
00:32:40,419 --> 00:32:42,654
I'm gonna let you know
when I wanna use it.
487
00:32:42,656 --> 00:32:43,657
Okay?
488
00:32:45,425 --> 00:32:47,125
(BEEPING)
489
00:32:47,127 --> 00:32:51,162
Right now, though,
I have another job for you.
490
00:32:51,164 --> 00:32:52,295
Ah.
491
00:32:52,297 --> 00:32:54,432
Parzival.
492
00:32:54,434 --> 00:32:57,338
Let me guess, you want
him off the scoreboard.
493
00:32:58,237 --> 00:32:59,736
Can you do that?
494
00:32:59,738 --> 00:33:02,272
Well, he's a superstar.
495
00:33:02,274 --> 00:33:04,141
He made it
through the first gate
496
00:33:04,143 --> 00:33:06,743
and avatars are gonna be
on him like hoes on Santa.
497
00:33:06,745 --> 00:33:09,981
i-R0k, how much more
do you want?
498
00:33:09,983 --> 00:33:13,417
That's what I like about you, Nolan.
You never lick.
499
00:33:13,419 --> 00:33:15,453
You bite straight
to the chocolaty center
500
00:33:15,455 --> 00:33:17,789
of the Tootsie Pop. (CHUCKLES)
501
00:33:17,791 --> 00:33:20,191
Remember that old commercial,
with the owl?
502
00:33:20,193 --> 00:33:21,195
i-R0k.
503
00:33:23,196 --> 00:33:24,995
Three times my normal fee.
504
00:33:24,997 --> 00:33:26,431
Done.
505
00:33:26,433 --> 00:33:28,299
Wait, really?
I should have asked for five.
506
00:33:28,301 --> 00:33:30,236
Is four still on the table?
507
00:33:32,706 --> 00:33:35,706
WADE: There's five of us
on the big board now.
508
00:33:35,708 --> 00:33:38,309
Art3mis was next,
no surprise there.
509
00:33:38,311 --> 00:33:41,846
She was on the track when I won.
She saw me going backwards.
510
00:33:41,848 --> 00:33:46,884
I gave Aech a tip, made him promise not
to say anything, and then he won next.
511
00:33:46,886 --> 00:33:49,352
I'm pretty sure
he bragged to our pal Daito,
512
00:33:49,354 --> 00:33:52,290
'cause he won right after.
513
00:33:52,292 --> 00:33:55,893
And of course, Daito told
his best friend, Sho...
514
00:33:55,895 --> 00:33:58,029
He totally totaled his car,
515

was one of the first clubs
693
00:43:55,327 --> 00:43:56,593
Halliday created in the OASIS.
694
00:43:56,595 --> 00:43:58,095
That's common knowledge.
695
00:43:58,097 --> 00:44:00,430
But I double-checked
696
00:44:00,432 --> 00:44:02,899
and it turns out he started building it
right after that moment you showed me.
697
00:44:02,901 --> 00:44:03,966
The date with Kira.
698
00:44:03,968 --> 00:44:06,070
Right, and she was
a serious dancer.
699
00:44:06,072 --> 00:44:08,338
Maybe he thought
he'd take her here,
700
00:44:08,340 --> 00:44:10,974
like on a virtual date.
701
00:44:10,976 --> 00:44:13,077
As if that ever works.
702
00:44:13,079 --> 00:44:14,577
So Halliday built it for her?
703
00:44:14,579 --> 00:44:15,912
But they never made it
past the first date.
704
00:44:15,914 --> 00:44:17,347
So Halliday's the creator...
705
00:44:17,349 --> 00:44:18,682
Who hates his own creation.
706
00:44:18,684 --> 00:44:20,084

is the thing he hates.

had the Copper Key,

maybe it's different. Right?

Easter egg, there's a bonus.

smart, not to show your hand.
863
00:54:18,617 --> 00:54:22,287
It is a lot of money.
I could really use it.
864

But I don't think you and I
would have the same plans.
865
00:54:29,695 --> 00:54:32,729
Well, I don't know about that.
What, for the OASIS?
866
00:54:32,731 --> 00:54:35,668
I guess if you're not
a John Hughes fan...
867
00:54:37,035 --> 00:54:38,568
Of course I am.
868
00:54:38,570 --> 00:54:41,403
Because the first thing
that I would do
869
00:54:41,405 --> 00:54:45,140
is convert all the schools
on Ludus to replicas
870
00:54:45,142 --> 00:54:48,310
from The Breakfast Club
and Ferris Bueller.
871
00:54:48,312 --> 00:54:51,481
No way. That's a great idea.
872
00:54:51,483 --> 00:54:53,749
Which school,
Ridgemont or Faber?
873
00:54:53,751 --> 00:54:57,053
Fast Times at Ridgemont High,
not John Hughes.
874
00:54:57,055 --> 00:55:00,289
It's a trap. Faber College
from Animal House.
875
00:55:00,291 --> 00:55:01,725
John Hughes didn't direct
876
00:55:01,727 --> 00:55:04,727
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
or Animal House.
877
00:55:04,729 --> 00:55:08,263
Ferris Bueller and The Breakfast Club,
they went to Shermer High School,
878
00:55:08,265 --> 00:55:11,600
which is in Shermer, Illinois.

I'm a corporate asshole,

pop culture, but...
881
00:55:16,707 --> 00:55:20,010
Man, that's not true. You know,
when I wanna blow off steam...
882
00:55:20,012 --> 00:55:23,780

listen to Duran Duran.
883

I asked you here
for what comes after.
892
00:55:58,649 --> 00:56:00,485
What would Halliday say?
893
00:56:01,552 --> 00:56:04,222
James Halliday is dead.
894
00:56:05,523 --> 00:56:09,526
Yeah. He is.
895

All that's left of him is this contest.
And you know what?
896

It just seems like he
wouldn't want you winning it.

So, if you wanna know
what I really think...

Here's my offer.

00:56:31,682 --> 00:56:33,182

you got them in the other ear?
903
00:56:33,184 --> 00:56:35,053
Why don't you tell 'em this.
904
00:56:36,253 --> 00:56:38,854
If they dump you,
I'll consider it.
905
00:56:38,856 --> 00:56:41,092
I might say something
off the record.
906
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,193
I had to make the offer.
907
00:56:44,195 --> 00:56:47,196
The board expected it, but I was
really hoping you'd say no.
908

this competition, it's me.

No. Halliday was madly

He had a chance with Kira. He had

it, and how many times.

1204
01:17:14,391 --> 01:17:16,892
How did IOI find
the third challenge so fast?
1205
01:17:16,894 --> 01:17:18,993
IOI cracked the first
three lines of the clue,
1206
01:17:18,995 --> 01:17:20,661
so they knew it was sector 14
1207
01:17:20,663 --> 01:17:22,063
but they couldn't figure out
"the fortress tragic."
1208
01:17:22,065 --> 01:17:24,665
So they sent every guide
they had into that sector
1209
01:17:24,667 --> 01:17:26,570
until they found
the right fortress.
1210

01:17:28,939 --> 01:17:31,439
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm 11, so what?

01:17:31,441 --> 01:17:33,474
His real name is Xo.
1213
01:17:33,476 --> 01:17:36,044
But everyone else calls
me Sho, no big deal.
1214
01:17:36,046 --> 01:17:39,014
No. It is a big deal.
1215
01:17:39,016 --> 01:17:42,584
Sho, you're the world's most
badass 11-year-old ever.

Yeah.

make him give Art3mis back to us.

I have to know exactly,

this is how
you plan to resolve

Halliday still holds the world record
on the 2600 port of that game.

to beat his high score.

We're in his account.

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

01:23:11,181 --> 01:23:13,782
This is what Sorrento
should be seeing,
1299
01:23:13,784 --> 01:23:18,018
but this... This is what we're
making him see.
1300

We grabbed him in transit just as
he was logging out of the OASIS,
1301

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

identical office that Aech built.

just remotely hacked his rig.

leave his password lying around.

you that'll get you out of there.

The Sixers found the third challenge.
It's on Planet Doom.
1316
01:24:07,471 --> 01:24:09,003
And there's more,
they just put a force field
1317
01:24:09,005 --> 01:24:10,807
around Anorak's Castle.
1318
01:24:15,244 --> 01:24:17,911
I heard one of the guards
calling it "the Orb of Osuvox,"
1319
01:24:17,913 --> 01:24:20,482
and the only way to take it
down is from the inside.

No way through it.

Okay, listen. That's not
important right now.

we get you out of the rig.
