00:01:18,287 --> 00:01:22,208
Get ready for the feel,
the feel of real. X1.
3
00:01:22,375 --> 00:01:24,126
No pain, no gain.
4
00:01:46,023 --> 00:01:47,441
Pizza, guys.
5
00:01:53,364 --> 00:01:54,573
Whoo-hoo!
6
00:02:09,005 --> 00:02:10,381
Hello, Wade.
7
00:02:10,548 --> 00:02:12,133
Hello, Mrs. Gilmore.
8
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:15,136
What's the matter?
Life getting you down?
9
00:02:19,849 --> 00:02:22,226
I was born in 2027.
10
00:02:22,393 --> 00:02:26,022
After the Corn Syrup Droughts,
after the Bandwidth Riots.
11
00:02:26,188 --> 00:02:28,232
After people stopped trying to fix problems
12
00:02:28,399 --> 00:02:30,651
and just tried to outlive them.
13
00:02:37,283 --> 00:02:39,577
My parents, they didn't make it
through those times,
14
00:02:39,744 --> 00:02:42,913
so I live here in Columbus,
Ohio, with my Aunt Alice.
15
00:02:43,706 --> 00:02:48,085
In 2045, Columbus is the fastest
growing city on Earth.
16
00:02:49,045 --> 00:02:52,340
It's where Halliday and Morrow
started Gregarious Games.
17
00:02:57,261 --> 00:02:59,513
These days, reality is a bummer.
18
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,474
Everyone is looking for a way to escape,
19
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:02,892
and that's why Halliday...
20
00:03:03,059 --> 00:03:05,019
That's why he was such a hero to us.
21
00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:09,523
He showed us that we could go somewhere
without going anywhere at all.
22
00:03:11,525 --> 00:03:12,526
You don't need a destination
23
00:03:12,735 --> 00:03:14,820
when you're running
on an omnidirectional treadmill
24
00:03:14,987 --> 00:03:17,281
with quadraphonic,
pressure-sensitive underlay.
25
00:03:18,282 --> 00:03:20,534
James Halliday saw the future.
26
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:22,244
And then he built it.
27
00:03:22,411 --> 00:03:24,413
He gave us a place to go.
28
00:03:24,580 --> 00:03:26,332
A place called
29
00:03:26,916 --> 00:03:28,292
the OASIS.
30
00:03:41,472 --> 00:03:43,641
This is the OASIS.
31
00:03:43,808 --> 00:03:47,978
It's a place where the limits of reality
are your own imagination.
32
00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:03,536
You can do anything...
33
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:05,579
...go anywhere.
34
00:04:07,206 --> 00:04:08,707
Like the vacation planet.
35
00:04:08,874 --> 00:04:11,585
Surf a 50-foot monster wave in Hawaii.
36
00:04:11,669 --> 00:04:13,921
You can ski down the pyramids.
37
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:16,298
You can climb Mount Everest
38
00:04:16,465 --> 00:04:17,925
with Batman.
39
00:04:20,678 --> 00:04:24,140
Check out this place.
It's a casino the size of a planet.
40
00:04:24,306 --> 00:04:25,516
You can lose your money there.
41
00:04:25,683 --> 00:04:28,060
You can get married.
You can get divorced.
42
00:04:28,227 --> 00:04:30,563
You can... You can go in there.
43
00:04:32,231 --> 00:04:35,151
People come to the OASIS
for all the things they can do,
44
00:04:35,317 --> 00:04:38,446
but they stay because
of all the things they can be.
45
00:04:39,989 --> 00:04:43,617
Tall, beautiful, scary, a different sex,
46
00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:46,829
a different species, live-action, cartoon.
47
00:04:46,996 --> 00:04:48,581
It's all your call.
48
00:04:49,623 --> 00:04:52,793
Yeah, that's me.
Well, that's my avatar.
49
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,754
At least, until I feel like changing it.
50
00:04:56,922 --> 00:04:59,175
Except for eating, sleeping,
and bathroom breaks,
51
00:04:59,341 --> 00:05:02,595
whatever people wanna do,
they do it in the OASIS.
52
00:05:03,429 --> 00:05:06,265
And since everyone is here,
this is where we meet each other.
53
00:05:06,432 --> 00:05:07,600
It's where we make friends.
54
00:05:07,766 --> 00:05:08,934
Locate Aech.
55
00:05:10,102 --> 00:05:12,354
Locating Aech.
56
00:05:15,232 --> 00:05:16,609
Aech located.
57
00:05:17,318 --> 00:05:19,987
Sector 12. Planet Doom.
58
00:05:20,613 --> 00:05:23,782
Planet Doom, the most
dangerous place in the OASIS,
59
00:05:23,949 --> 00:05:26,869
and a pretty great place to pick up coin.
60
00:05:27,036 --> 00:05:28,579
Figures Aech would be there.
61
00:05:31,248 --> 00:05:33,834
Aech is my best friend in the OASIS.
62
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:37,213
He's my best friend, period.
63
00:05:37,379 --> 00:05:40,216
Even though I've never actually
met him in the real world.
64
00:05:44,136 --> 00:05:46,305
- What's up, Aech?
- Hey, what up, Z?
65
00:05:46,472 --> 00:05:48,724
Next race is in 20 minutes,
and I can't do the late one.
66
00:05:48,891 --> 00:05:50,434
What the hell are you up to?
67
00:05:50,601 --> 00:05:53,062
Man, gettin' my kills on, bro.
68
00:05:53,229 --> 00:05:54,313
Is that Daito?
69
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,023
Daito and Sho.
70
00:06:02,488 --> 00:06:03,781
This an artifact hunt?
71
00:06:03,948 --> 00:06:06,075
Yup. Gregarious 120.
72
00:06:06,242 --> 00:06:10,162
Turn into any giant robot for two minutes.
That's rad.
73
00:06:10,829 --> 00:06:12,122
Artifacts.
74
00:06:12,915 --> 00:06:14,875
Those were key.
75
00:06:15,793 --> 00:06:17,795
Halliday made sure the OASIS was littered
76
00:06:17,962 --> 00:06:20,506
with enough randomly powerful stuff
77
00:06:20,673 --> 00:06:23,467
that anyone could win
if they had the skills.
78
00:06:25,052 --> 00:06:27,721
Death matches and artifact hunts
are a good way to coin-snatch,
79
00:06:27,888 --> 00:06:30,558
but depending on your level
of armor, they're risky.
80
00:06:32,017 --> 00:06:34,311
You see, everyone starts the same,
81
00:06:34,478 --> 00:06:35,563
but the more coin you make...
82
00:06:35,729 --> 00:06:37,356
- Mom! Mom!
- ...the more you level up.
83
00:06:37,523 --> 00:06:39,942
If you get killed, your avatar
can come back to life...
84
00:06:40,025 --> 00:06:41,026
Go get your dad!
85
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:42,778
...but you lose all your stuff.
86
00:06:44,488 --> 00:06:46,574
Everything you've ever worked for.
87
00:06:47,491 --> 00:06:48,826
All your money.
88
00:06:50,995 --> 00:06:52,371
Your clothes.
89
00:06:54,081 --> 00:06:55,374
Your weapons.
90
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,627
Since people spend most
of their time in the OASIS...
91
00:07:01,589 --> 00:07:02,715
...losing your shit means...
92
00:07:03,424 --> 00:07:05,843
Well, losing your shit.
93
00:07:08,429 --> 00:07:10,681
Aech, 10 minutes until the race starts.
94
00:07:10,848 --> 00:07:12,683
Okay, Mom, I heard you.
95
00:07:12,850 --> 00:07:17,021
You see, the OASIS was
the brainchild of James Halliday.
96
00:07:17,187 --> 00:07:21,942
He and his partner, Ogden Morrow,
released the first OASIS build in 2025.
97
00:07:22,109 --> 00:07:26,196
It was an instant success,
and it made them both very rich.
98
00:07:26,363 --> 00:07:29,825
But Morrow was out of the picture
after a few years. And Halliday?
99
00:07:29,992 --> 00:07:33,162
He wasn't just the owner
of the world's biggest company.
100
00:07:33,329 --> 00:07:37,124
He was like a god. People loved him.
101
00:07:37,291 --> 00:07:39,293
They worshiped him as much as his creation.
102
00:07:39,460 --> 00:07:42,129
Maybe we should stop talking about it
103
00:07:42,296 --> 00:07:44,632
and start, uh, showing it.
104
00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:46,925
If you all wanna reach under your seats,
105
00:07:47,092 --> 00:07:49,261
you'll find that there's nothing there.
106
00:07:49,428 --> 00:07:52,765
But we're each gonna bring you one now.
107
00:07:53,641 --> 00:07:57,561
And then, on January 7, 2040...
108
00:08:00,606 --> 00:08:01,607
He died.
109
00:08:04,652 --> 00:08:05,819
And what he left behind
110
00:08:07,237 --> 00:08:09,782
changed everything.
111
00:08:22,336 --> 00:08:26,382
Hello. I am James Halliday.
112
00:08:26,548 --> 00:08:29,468
If you're watching this, I'm dead.
113
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:36,016
Before I died, I created what
we in the biz call an "Easter egg."
114
00:08:37,226 --> 00:08:44,066
A hidden object in a game that gives
special powers to whoever discovers it.
115
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:47,986
The first person to find the egg
116
00:08:48,153 --> 00:08:51,407
I've hidden somewhere inside the OASIS
117
00:08:51,573 --> 00:08:55,244
will inherit my stock in Gregarious Games,
118
00:08:55,411 --> 00:08:59,206
currently valued in excess of half a million...
119
00:08:59,289 --> 00:09:02,126
Uh, half a trillion dollars' worth,
120
00:09:02,292 --> 00:09:07,673
and total control of the OASIS itself.
121
00:09:08,757 --> 00:09:13,971
In the form of my avatar,
Anorak the All-Knowing,
122
00:09:14,471 --> 00:09:17,141
I created three keys.
123
00:09:18,142 --> 00:09:21,353
Three hidden challenges
test for worthy traits
124
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,691
revealing three hidden keys
to three magic gates.
125
00:09:25,858 --> 00:09:29,862
And those with the skill
to survive these straits
126
00:09:30,028 --> 00:09:34,658
will reach the end, where the prize awaits.
127
00:09:34,825 --> 00:09:37,327
Off you go, keys.
128
00:09:39,663 --> 00:09:44,501
The keys aren't just laying around
under a rock somewhere.
129
00:09:44,668 --> 00:09:47,254
I suppose you could say they're invisible,
130
00:09:47,421 --> 00:09:50,966
hidden in a dark room that's
at the center of a maze
131
00:09:51,133 --> 00:09:54,052
that's located somewhere
132
00:09:55,053 --> 00:09:57,097
up here.
133
00:09:57,473 --> 00:10:01,518
Let the hunt for Halliday's Easter egg
134
00:10:02,186 --> 00:10:03,228
begin.
135
00:10:09,735 --> 00:10:11,987
The challenge is to find three keys,
136
00:10:12,154 --> 00:10:15,616
but in five years, no one
has even gotten one key.
137
00:10:15,783 --> 00:10:18,076
And the big scoreboard? Still empty.
138
00:10:18,786 --> 00:10:20,537
Some long-forgotten gunter
cracked the first clue
139
00:10:20,704 --> 00:10:22,372
and found the first challenge.
140
00:10:22,581 --> 00:10:24,541
Then, this portal appeared.
141
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:28,545
But the challenge to win the first
key was a race designed by Halliday
142
00:10:28,712 --> 00:10:31,548
that was so hard,
no one had ever finished it.
143
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:35,052
The only ones still trying are
the gunters, as in "egg hunters,"
144
00:10:35,219 --> 00:10:38,096
like me and Sho and Daito,
and my best friend, Aech.
145
00:10:38,806 --> 00:10:42,059
Oh, and of course, the Sixers.
146
00:10:42,601 --> 00:10:43,685
The Sixers work for IOI...
147
00:10:43,769 --> 00:10:44,770
Sixers!
148
00:10:44,853 --> 00:10:46,188
...Innovative Online Industries.
149
00:10:46,355 --> 00:10:48,398
They're the second-largest
company in the world
150
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:50,359
with designs on becoming the first.
151
00:10:50,818 --> 00:10:52,611
Which is why they're putting
everything they got
152
00:10:52,778 --> 00:10:53,946
into winning Halliday's contest.
153
00:10:54,112 --> 00:10:55,739
Buckle up!
154
00:10:56,573 --> 00:10:58,450
Sit in!
155
00:10:58,617 --> 00:11:01,328
We call 'em "Sixers" 'cause
that's the company rule.
156
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:02,955
No name, just numbers.
157
00:11:04,748 --> 00:11:07,417
They have a support team
made up of Halliday scholars.
158
00:11:07,584 --> 00:11:10,128
Like me, they spend all their
time studying pop culture
159
00:11:10,295 --> 00:11:11,672
that Halliday was obsessed with,
160
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:13,882
trying to find clues to solve the contest.
161
00:11:16,552 --> 00:11:19,346
They're just following the orders
of the head of IOI,
162
00:11:19,513 --> 00:11:22,558
this dickweed named Nolan Sorrento.
163
00:11:28,605 --> 00:11:29,857
How'd you get here before me?
164
00:11:30,023 --> 00:11:32,526
Well, I didn't make a pit stop
at the hair salon.
165
00:11:32,693 --> 00:11:34,486
- What up, Z?
- What's up, Aech?
166
00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:36,321
Saved you a spot.
167
00:11:36,488 --> 00:11:37,614
Thanks, bro.
168
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:43,078
I gotta go to the back.
169
00:11:43,245 --> 00:11:46,081
Ugh. So you can skim coins
from crashed cars?
170
00:11:46,248 --> 00:11:48,876
- That's just sad, man.
- Fuel's low.
171
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:52,462
Oh, but you still had enough to pay for that
Something About Mary hairdo.
172
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:35,088
First to the key.
173
00:12:36,465 --> 00:12:37,466
First to the egg!
174
00:13:27,015 --> 00:13:28,892
Aech, are you seeing this?
175
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,981
Yeah, I see it.
That's Kaneda's bike from Akira.
176
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,191
It's a licensed skin over a standard frame.
177
00:13:36,358 --> 00:13:38,568
No, not the bike. Forget the bike.
178
00:13:39,236 --> 00:13:40,904
The girl, I think it's Art3mis.
179
00:13:41,071 --> 00:13:43,115
The Art3mis? The Sixer Fixer?
180
00:13:43,365 --> 00:13:46,159
I've seen all her walk-throughs,
her Twitch streams.
181
00:13:46,326 --> 00:13:48,203
It's her. It's definitely her.
182
00:15:35,352 --> 00:15:37,437
Go, go, go! Get there! Come on!
183
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:44,319
You got it, you got it!
184
00:15:53,829 --> 00:15:55,205
Balls.
185
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:01,920
She's not gonna make it.
186
00:16:04,714 --> 00:16:06,383
Bail! Bail out!
187
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:07,551
Bail!
188
00:16:13,765 --> 00:16:15,392
Ow!
189
00:16:46,006 --> 00:16:47,340
Damn, I loved that bike.
190
00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:48,758
Oh, Aech could...
191
00:16:48,925 --> 00:16:51,386
Well, he's my friend,
but he could fix it for you.
192
00:16:58,810 --> 00:17:01,479
This is my workshop. Touch nothing.
193
00:17:08,111 --> 00:17:10,071
Where did you find an Iron Giant?
194
00:17:10,238 --> 00:17:12,908
Find it? I'm building it.
That's a commission.
195
00:17:13,116 --> 00:17:15,911
Oh, yeah. Aech is top-rated
on the mod boards.
196
00:17:16,077 --> 00:17:18,747
People all over the OASIS
pay him serious coin.
197
00:17:18,914 --> 00:17:21,124
Oh, hey, check this out!
198
00:17:21,291 --> 00:17:22,751
Hey. Z, yo.
199
00:17:24,294 --> 00:17:26,588
- The Galactica, of course.
- These are my babies, all right, man?
200
00:17:26,755 --> 00:17:28,381
Sulaco, from Aliens.
201
00:17:28,548 --> 00:17:29,925
Dude, how are you showing off my shit?
202
00:17:30,091 --> 00:17:32,552
Valley Forge, from Silent Running.
Oh, where's the Harkonnen Drop-Ship?
203
00:17:32,719 --> 00:17:35,096
That thing is sick.
Folds space like a boss.
204
00:17:35,263 --> 00:17:37,015
I mean, you can get from Incipio
to Arrakis in three seconds...
205
00:17:37,349 --> 00:17:38,934
Fingers!
206
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:40,268
You'll have to excuse him.
207
00:17:40,435 --> 00:17:42,604
He gets a little nervous
around pretty girls.
208
00:17:49,778 --> 00:17:52,239
I can fix it in 10 minutes.
209
00:17:53,615 --> 00:17:56,076
Yup. He's pretty great.
210
00:17:56,243 --> 00:17:59,120
I assume you and Shoulder
Blades are clanned up.
211
00:17:59,287 --> 00:18:01,414
Oh, Aech? Nah.
212
00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:05,710
I mean, he's really good, but I don't clan.
213
00:18:06,544 --> 00:18:09,089
Oh, 'cause you're Parzival,
214
00:18:09,256 --> 00:18:11,633
as in the knight who found
the Holy Grail by himself.
215
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,385
What about you, Art3mis?
216
00:18:13,551 --> 00:18:16,763
Goddess of the hunt.
Clans must be killing to sign you up.
217
00:18:18,390 --> 00:18:20,183
- Favorite shooter?
- Excuse me?
218
00:18:20,350 --> 00:18:22,143
James Halliday's favorite
first-person shooter.
219
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:23,728
- What?
- Oh. GoldenEye.
220
00:18:23,895 --> 00:18:26,106
- Playing as?
- Oddjob. Is this a test?
221
00:18:26,273 --> 00:18:27,274
Favorite game variant?
222
00:18:27,357 --> 00:18:28,942
Game variant was "slappers only."
No weapons.
223
00:18:29,109 --> 00:18:31,111
I know what "slappers only" means.
Racer?
224
00:18:31,278 --> 00:18:33,405
Turbo. And his favorite
food was Hot Pockets.
225
00:18:33,571 --> 00:18:35,156
Favorite restaurant was Chuck E Cheese.
226
00:18:35,323 --> 00:18:37,701
Song was Video Killed the Radio Star
by the Buggles.
227
00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:39,494
Video was Take on Me by A-ha.
228
00:18:39,786 --> 00:18:43,707
Oh, oh... His favorite quote
was from Superman.
229
00:18:44,374 --> 00:18:45,667
"Some people can read War and Peace
230
00:18:45,834 --> 00:18:48,044
"and come away thinking
it's a simple adventure story..."
231
00:18:48,211 --> 00:18:50,839
"Others can read the ingredients
on the back of a chewing-gum wrapper
232
00:18:51,006 --> 00:18:53,383
"and unlock the secrets of the universe."
233
00:18:54,092 --> 00:18:56,094
Lex Luthor.
234
00:18:56,511 --> 00:18:58,013
Cool.
235
00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:03,059
What would you do? If you won.
The whole contest, I mean.
236
00:19:03,143 --> 00:19:06,062
Oh! I mean, I've got tons
of plans in the real world.
237
00:19:06,229 --> 00:19:10,984
I'd move into a huge mansion,
buy a bunch of cool shit, not be poor.
238
00:19:12,235 --> 00:19:14,612
Now I know why you stopped short.
239
00:19:15,947 --> 00:19:18,950
I stopped because of Kong.
No one ever makes it past Kong.
240
00:19:19,117 --> 00:19:20,910
That's, like, a rule.
241
00:19:21,077 --> 00:19:24,539
Well, then you know it can't be true.
Because Halliday hated making rules.
242
00:19:24,706 --> 00:19:25,999
I can't afford to zero out.
243
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:27,542
- You're afraid to lose your shit.
- No, I'm not!
244
00:19:27,709 --> 00:19:29,669
What happens when IOI
offers you guaranteed coin
245
00:19:29,836 --> 00:19:31,004
for the keys to the kingdom?
246
00:19:31,171 --> 00:19:33,381
Nolan Sorrento takes over the world.
247
00:19:33,548 --> 00:19:37,719
A real gunter would risk everything
to save the OASIS from IOI.
248
00:19:37,886 --> 00:19:39,220
Who said that?
249
00:19:39,387 --> 00:19:40,805
Me.
250
00:19:43,058 --> 00:19:44,601
There you go. Good as new.
251
00:19:45,185 --> 00:19:47,437
Thanks for the fix-up, my man.
252
00:19:57,197 --> 00:19:58,740
That's better.
253
00:19:59,282 --> 00:20:03,244
I'll wave to you from the finish line, McFly.
254
00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:07,749
That went well.
255
00:20:07,916 --> 00:20:09,626
Thanks to you, Captain Big Mouth.
256
00:20:09,793 --> 00:20:13,129
Wade? Wade?
Where the hell are my gloves?
257
00:20:13,296 --> 00:20:15,256
Shit. I gotta go.
258
00:20:18,426 --> 00:20:19,427
X1.
259
00:20:19,511 --> 00:20:23,056
When I'm after gold on Planet Doom,
I need every edge I can get.
260
00:20:23,348 --> 00:20:27,102
Every push, punch, gunshot,
you feel it all.
261
00:20:27,268 --> 00:20:31,439
Get ready for the feel,
the feel of real. X1.
262
00:20:31,606 --> 00:20:33,858
The X1 is like wearing a second skin.
263
00:20:33,942 --> 00:20:35,902
A skin that kicks ass.
264
00:20:37,654 --> 00:20:40,407
I zeroed out 'cause
of your broke-ass gloves.
265
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:41,825
Who told you to use them?
266
00:20:41,991 --> 00:20:44,077
You took hers.
267
00:20:45,161 --> 00:20:46,496
So you lost a death match.
268
00:20:46,663 --> 00:20:50,917
Why don't you just respawn
and level up like everyone else?
269
00:20:51,084 --> 00:20:52,210
You don't get it.
270
00:20:52,377 --> 00:20:55,296
I bought all these power-ups
for this challenge, and I lost it all.
271
00:20:55,463 --> 00:20:57,173
That artifact was gonna pay for the house!
272
00:20:57,340 --> 00:20:58,341
Wait.
273
00:20:58,508 --> 00:21:01,928
How much of our house money
did you spend on upgrades?
274
00:21:03,012 --> 00:21:05,765
Well, all of it, but I was gonna win.
275
00:21:05,890 --> 00:21:08,768
That was our ticket out of here.
276
00:21:11,396 --> 00:21:12,480
You idiot.
277
00:21:12,647 --> 00:21:14,774
No, but I only lost 'cause
of the bad gloves.
278
00:21:14,941 --> 00:21:16,526
Our house! Our goddamn house!
279
00:21:16,693 --> 00:21:17,861
My boys were in that challenge.
280
00:21:18,027 --> 00:21:20,071
You couldn't have beat them
in a bootsuit, you noob.
281
00:21:20,697 --> 00:21:23,700
Stop! No! No!
282
00:21:23,867 --> 00:21:24,993
Alice, call the police!
283
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,661
No, we are not calling the cops.
284
00:21:26,828 --> 00:21:28,538
Go to your room, Rick.
285
00:21:28,705 --> 00:21:30,039
Come on, Alice.
286
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,377
Why do you put up with this guy?
He's a shitshow.
287
00:21:35,044 --> 00:21:39,466
I ought to kick the both of you out.
I swear to G-O-D, Wade Watts,
288
00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:42,218
if I catch you touching my stuff again,
289
00:21:42,385 --> 00:21:44,929
not joking... Out.
290
00:21:51,853 --> 00:21:54,022
"Wade Watts."
291
00:21:54,189 --> 00:21:55,190
My dad picked that name
292
00:21:55,356 --> 00:21:57,609
because it sounded like
a superhero's alter ego,
293
00:21:58,193 --> 00:22:00,820
like Peter Parker or Bruce Banner.
294
00:22:01,863 --> 00:22:03,781
But he died when I was a kid.
295
00:22:03,948 --> 00:22:06,993
My mom, too, and I ended up here,
296
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,870
living with Aunt Alice
297
00:22:09,037 --> 00:22:11,414
and her endless string
of hard-loving losers.
298
00:22:14,292 --> 00:22:17,003
"Halliday hated making rules."
299
00:22:17,170 --> 00:22:19,756
Why is that line sticking in my head?
300
00:22:22,133 --> 00:22:25,053
Maybe it's 'cause Art3mis
said it, and she's hot.
301
00:22:25,678 --> 00:22:27,764
Maybe it's because she called me out,
302
00:22:27,931 --> 00:22:30,225
sitting here in my tiny corner of nowhere,
303
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:33,686
protecting my small slice of nothing.
304
00:22:33,853 --> 00:22:35,939
Or maybe...
305
00:22:36,105 --> 00:22:38,441
Maybe it's because that line
means something
306
00:22:38,608 --> 00:22:40,109
and I missed it.
307
00:22:43,112 --> 00:22:46,074
The day the contest was announced,
the Halliday Journals appeared.
308
00:22:46,241 --> 00:22:50,036
He told us to look in his brain.
This was the next best thing.
309
00:22:50,203 --> 00:22:53,540
At first, it was jammed
with gunters looking for answers.
310
00:22:53,706 --> 00:22:56,167
Now, the once-crowded halls
of Halliday's memories
311
00:22:56,334 --> 00:22:57,418
are left to people like me.
312
00:22:57,585 --> 00:23:00,213
Parzival. Oh, joy!
313
00:23:00,380 --> 00:23:03,466
And how will you eat up my
valuable search time today?
314
00:23:03,883 --> 00:23:05,760
Gregarious Games, 2029... Office party.
315
00:23:06,052 --> 00:23:09,055
Office party. Yes, you've only
seen it a thousand times.
316
00:23:09,222 --> 00:23:11,140
Why not go back?
317
00:23:11,975 --> 00:23:15,520
Each entry into Halliday's Journals
is meticulously assembled
318
00:23:15,687 --> 00:23:18,022
from personal photographs,
home video recordings,
319
00:23:18,189 --> 00:23:19,941
surveillance, and nanny cams.
320
00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:23,778
All rendered into a three-dimensional
virtual experience.
321
00:23:23,945 --> 00:23:27,490
Also, Halliday archived every film,
game, book, and television program
322
00:23:27,615 --> 00:23:30,535
he ever saw, located on the mezzanine.
323
00:23:30,952 --> 00:23:34,372
No weapons or mature-themed avatars
are permitted within the Journals.
324
00:23:34,539 --> 00:23:37,834
Please enjoy your time with us,
and happy gunting!
325
00:23:38,334 --> 00:23:40,003
I like cleaning up.
326
00:23:40,169 --> 00:23:42,547
Okay, Jim, I'm going.
327
00:23:47,510 --> 00:23:49,929
Everything changes, Jim.
Everything evolves.
328
00:23:50,471 --> 00:23:53,683
Some things are perfect just
the way they are. Asteroids.
329
00:23:53,850 --> 00:23:57,854
People don't live inside an Asteroids
arcade cabinet.
330
00:23:59,230 --> 00:24:00,440
I know that.
331
00:24:00,607 --> 00:24:03,151
Yeah, well, people are living
inside the arcade we built.
332
00:24:03,318 --> 00:24:05,194
- I built.
- Uh, well...
333
00:24:05,486 --> 00:24:08,031
Right. Well, I guess you can
say whatever you want.
334
00:24:08,197 --> 00:24:09,240
I don't really wanna talk about it anymore.
335
00:24:09,407 --> 00:24:10,742
No, of course you don't
wanna talk about it.
336
00:24:10,908 --> 00:24:11,909
You're forcing me out.
337
00:24:12,327 --> 00:24:13,369
Closer on Halliday.
338
00:24:13,786 --> 00:24:15,580
Look, invention comes with responsibilities
339
00:24:15,747 --> 00:24:17,248
you didn't ask for.
340
00:24:17,915 --> 00:24:19,959
All right, if you make something
people want or need
341
00:24:20,126 --> 00:24:22,754
then it's up to you to set the limits.
You have to make some rules.
342
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,213
"I don't wanna make any more rules."
343
00:24:24,505 --> 00:24:26,257
I don't wanna make any more rules.
344
00:24:26,341 --> 00:24:27,383
"I'm a dreamer."
345
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,801
I'm a dreamer.
346
00:24:29,093 --> 00:24:30,887
- I build worlds.
- "I build worlds."
347
00:24:32,013 --> 00:24:34,641
We created something beautiful,
Jim, but it's changed.
348
00:24:34,807 --> 00:24:36,267
Okay? It's really not a game anymore.
349
00:24:36,434 --> 00:24:37,769
Are we finished?
350
00:24:38,061 --> 00:24:42,523
I liked how things were when they were...
351
00:24:44,025 --> 00:24:45,109
When it was a game.
352
00:24:45,276 --> 00:24:48,821
And we're back to where we started.
But that's the point, isn't it?
353
00:24:48,988 --> 00:24:51,199
Things move forward whether
you like it or not.
354
00:24:51,491 --> 00:24:53,534
Yeah, we're finished.
355
00:24:53,618 --> 00:24:55,244
Fine.
356
00:24:57,497 --> 00:25:01,250
Why can't we go backwards, for once?
357
00:25:03,628 --> 00:25:07,298
Backwards, really fast.
Fast as we can.
358
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,759
Really put the pedal
to the metal, you know?
359
00:25:09,926 --> 00:25:12,136
Go back 10 seconds!
360
00:25:12,637 --> 00:25:16,391
Why can't we go backwards, for once?
361
00:25:17,266 --> 00:25:21,187
Backwards, really fast.
Fast as we can.
362
00:25:21,688 --> 00:25:24,399
Really put the pedal
to the metal, you know?
363
00:25:25,483 --> 00:25:26,943
Bill and Ted did it.
364
00:25:48,589 --> 00:25:50,591
Back again so soon?
365
00:25:52,218 --> 00:25:54,345
Careful not to lose your shit.
366
00:25:58,433 --> 00:26:00,143
You figured something out.
367
00:26:00,810 --> 00:26:02,979
Parzival, tell me.
368
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:47,041
Nice racing, Padawan.
You're the first to finish.
369
00:27:47,959 --> 00:27:52,421
Mr. Halliday... Anorak.
370
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,091
It's such an honor.
371
00:27:55,383 --> 00:27:57,635
The honor is all mine.
372
00:28:08,771 --> 00:28:10,523
Get yourself a clue.
373
00:28:25,079 --> 00:28:28,541
Who is this Parzival,
and how the hell is he winning?
374
00:28:28,708 --> 00:28:31,168
Well, here's a better question.
Who cares?
375
00:28:31,335 --> 00:28:33,170
Halliday's contest is vitally important.
376
00:28:33,337 --> 00:28:36,382
I mean, it's nothing less than a war
for control of the future.
377
00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:39,594
But this Parzival?
He's not even clanned up.
378
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,930
He's alone. We have an army.
379
00:28:43,097 --> 00:28:44,682
And yet, he's got the first key.
380
00:28:44,849 --> 00:28:46,267
Yeah, he has a key,
381
00:28:46,434 --> 00:28:49,562
but you have to get three of 'em
to win the contest.
382
00:28:49,729 --> 00:28:52,231
Our stock dove 6% yesterday.
383
00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:56,193
Loyalty division is reporting
profits of 28%. F'Nale.
384
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,030
We're opening five new
loyalty centers this month.
385
00:28:59,196 --> 00:29:01,073
Debt Services dwarfs Hardware.
386
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,117
Now, you really wanna talk
to me about stock prices?
387
00:29:03,284 --> 00:29:04,410
The shareholders won't be happy.
388
00:29:04,577 --> 00:29:07,830
It's not our job to make them happy.
It's our job to make them money,
389
00:29:07,997 --> 00:29:12,043
but once we launch this
little baby, they're gonna flip.
390
00:29:13,377 --> 00:29:16,422
We call this Pure O2.
391
00:29:16,589 --> 00:29:18,257
This is the first of our planned upgrades.
392
00:29:18,424 --> 00:29:20,927
Once we can roll back some
of Halliday's ad restrictions,
393
00:29:21,093 --> 00:29:24,972
we estimate we can sell up to 80%
394
00:29:25,139 --> 00:29:30,394
of an individual's visual field before
inducing seizures, so picture this...
395
00:29:30,561 --> 00:29:33,564
All of this implies we win the contest.
396
00:29:36,525 --> 00:29:38,611
Indeed, it does.
397
00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:43,157
Dude, you won the key and 100,000 coins?
398
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:44,325
As soon as I took the key,
399
00:29:44,408 --> 00:29:45,785
all the coins just appeared in my account.
400
00:29:45,952 --> 00:29:48,955
I'll tell you what,
I'm soiling my haptics right now.
401
00:29:52,625 --> 00:29:54,251
What the hell's a Cataclyst?
402
00:29:54,418 --> 00:29:58,005
A bomb. Kills every avatar
on a planet, even the owner.
403
00:29:58,172 --> 00:29:59,173
Who'd want that?
404
00:29:59,340 --> 00:30:01,425
IOI. They buy everything.
405
00:30:02,802 --> 00:30:05,429
Twenty-thou for the holy hand grenade?
406
00:30:05,596 --> 00:30:07,264
That's a steal!
407
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,270
Whoa! Zemeckis Cube!
I need one of those.
408
00:30:13,437 --> 00:30:15,106
Okay, don't spend all your money.
409
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:21,070
X1 haptic bootsuit.
410
00:30:35,710 --> 00:30:37,128
Oh, yeah!
411
00:31:30,181 --> 00:31:33,309
i-R0k, old friend. How are you?
412
00:31:35,561 --> 00:31:37,063
To be honest, I have kind of a neck thing.
413
00:31:37,229 --> 00:31:39,023
It's like a carpel-tunnel deal
414
00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:40,900
but with your neck, if that's even a thing.
415
00:31:41,067 --> 00:31:43,527
So if you could just stand to your right.
416
00:31:43,694 --> 00:31:44,904
My right, your left.
417
00:31:46,822 --> 00:31:50,117
Thanks, it's the repetitive stress.
Oh.
418
00:31:51,243 --> 00:31:52,328
Here he is.
419
00:31:54,455 --> 00:31:58,793
The steampunk pirate king.
I knew him well, Sorrento.
420
00:31:59,460 --> 00:32:01,670
There are only three things
in this world I hate,
421
00:32:01,837 --> 00:32:05,633
steampunk, pirates, and tabbouleh.
422
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,469
I mean, why do they even have it?
423
00:32:08,636 --> 00:32:10,638
Is there a reason we're meeting here?
424
00:32:11,347 --> 00:32:15,893
Yes, Nolan. The Orb of Osuvox.
425
00:32:16,602 --> 00:32:19,897
You wanted it. He had it.
And so here it is.
426
00:32:23,734 --> 00:32:27,530
It creates an impenetrable magic
shield that can only be taken down
427
00:32:27,696 --> 00:32:29,907
by a magic spell.
428
00:32:30,074 --> 00:32:32,326
The Orb of Osuvox.
429
00:32:32,493 --> 00:32:33,744
Don't say that again.
430
00:32:33,911 --> 00:32:34,954
Okay.
431
00:32:37,164 --> 00:32:40,709
Now, I'm gonna need you
to keep this for now.
432
00:32:40,876 --> 00:32:42,711
I'm gonna let you know when I wanna use it.
433
00:32:43,129 --> 00:32:44,130
Okay?
434
00:32:47,466 --> 00:32:51,512
Right now, though,
I have another job for you.
435
00:32:51,637 --> 00:32:52,888
Ah.
436
00:32:52,972 --> 00:32:54,181
Parzival.
437
00:32:54,890 --> 00:32:57,810
Let me guess, you want
him off the scoreboard.
438
00:32:58,686 --> 00:33:00,020
Can you do that?
439
00:33:00,187 --> 00:33:02,565
Well, he's a superstar.
440
00:33:02,731 --> 00:33:04,233
He made it through the first gate
441
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,027
and avatars are gonna be
on him like hoes on Santa.
442
00:33:07,194 --> 00:33:09,613
i-R0k, how much more do you want?
443
00:33:10,447 --> 00:33:13,492
That's what I like about you, Nolan.
You never lick.
444
00:33:14,076 --> 00:33:15,953
You bite straight to the chocolaty center
445
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,872
of the Tootsie Pop.
446
00:33:18,247 --> 00:33:20,499
Remember that old commercial, with the owl?
447
00:33:20,666 --> 00:33:21,667
i-R0k.
448
00:33:23,669 --> 00:33:25,045
Three times my normal fee.
449
00:33:25,462 --> 00:33:26,922
Done.
450
00:33:27,089 --> 00:33:28,799
Wait, really?
I should have asked for five.
451
00:33:28,966 --> 00:33:30,885
Is four still on the table?
452
00:33:33,179 --> 00:33:35,598
There's five of us on the big board now.
453
00:33:36,182 --> 00:33:38,809
Art3mis was next, no surprise there.
454
00:33:38,976 --> 00:33:41,729
She was on the track when I won.
She saw me going backwards.
455
00:33:42,313 --> 00:33:46,692
I gave Aech a tip, made him promise not
to say anything, and then he won next.
456
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:49,862
I'm pretty sure he bragged
to our pal Daito,
457
00:33:50,029 --> 00:33:52,031
'cause he won right after.
458
00:33:52,740 --> 00:33:56,202
And of course, Daito told
his best friend, Sho...
459
00:33:56,368 --> 00:33:58,329
He totally totaled his car,
460
00:33:58,495 --> 00:34:00,581
but then Sho got it, too.
461
00:34:09,632 --> 00:34:11,342
"A creator who hates his own creation.
462
00:34:11,634 --> 00:34:15,971
"A hidden key, a leap not taken.
Retrace your steps, escape your past."
463
00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:18,933
"A creator who hates his own creation.
464
00:34:19,099 --> 00:34:23,395
"A hidden key, a leap not taken.
Retrace your steps, escape your past.
465
00:34:23,562 --> 00:34:25,940
"And the key of jade
will be yours at last."
466
00:35:07,856 --> 00:35:09,775
"Escape your past."
467
00:35:13,487 --> 00:35:16,407
What part of your past are you
trying to escape, Halliday?
468
00:35:28,294 --> 00:35:29,920
- Hey, it's Parzival!
- Dude!
469
00:35:31,505 --> 00:35:32,881
You're, like, totally my hero!
470
00:35:33,048 --> 00:35:34,049
Hey, Parzival! Over here!
471
00:35:34,216 --> 00:35:35,467
Dude, you're amazing!
472
00:35:36,343 --> 00:35:38,345
Hey, Parzival! Right here!
Let me get an autograph!
473
00:35:44,435 --> 00:35:45,477
Watch it!
474
00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:50,232
You're famous now!
You can't just go wherever you want!
475
00:35:50,399 --> 00:35:51,525
No, no, no, I...
476
00:35:56,447 --> 00:35:58,532
Huh?
477
00:36:02,077 --> 00:36:04,413
Ahh!
478
00:36:10,544 --> 00:36:14,590
That is... That is not funny.
479
00:36:14,757 --> 00:36:17,176
Oh, God.
480
00:36:17,426 --> 00:36:19,178
Ugh.
481
00:36:20,054 --> 00:36:22,306
Oh, God. Don't you get it?
482
00:36:22,848 --> 00:36:25,184
You're "the Parzival" now.
483
00:36:25,351 --> 00:36:26,769
You have to have a disguise.
484
00:36:29,104 --> 00:36:30,689
Okay, here.
485
00:36:31,982 --> 00:36:33,192
Clark Kent glasses.
486
00:36:33,359 --> 00:36:35,903
They hide your identity
without changing your look.
487
00:36:44,703 --> 00:36:46,163
I'm not wearing that.
488
00:36:55,839 --> 00:36:57,132
This is great.
489
00:36:58,467 --> 00:37:00,260
The way your inventory
bursts out when you die.
490
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:01,845
They didn't want any more blood.
491
00:37:02,012 --> 00:37:03,680
This is right before the OASIS went live.
492
00:37:03,847 --> 00:37:07,267
Six days prior. December 2nd, 2025.
493
00:37:07,434 --> 00:37:09,311
Check this out.
494
00:37:09,478 --> 00:37:11,063
You know who that is?
495
00:37:12,731 --> 00:37:14,191
Is that Sorrento?
496
00:37:14,483 --> 00:37:16,276
Sorrento started as an intern.
497
00:37:16,443 --> 00:37:18,737
He claims he learned
at the feet of the master.
498
00:37:18,904 --> 00:37:21,448
That's how he convinced IOI
to create the Sixers for him,
499
00:37:21,615 --> 00:37:22,783
his Halliday knowledge.
500
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,327
But ask Ogden Morrow?
501
00:37:25,494 --> 00:37:29,498
He says the only thing Sorrento
actually knew about Halliday
502
00:37:29,665 --> 00:37:31,041
was how he liked his coffee.
503
00:37:31,208 --> 00:37:33,669
You could have, like,
different tiers of accounts,
504
00:37:33,836 --> 00:37:35,295
like a gold member.
505
00:37:35,462 --> 00:37:38,966
A person could be silver, platinum, bronze.
506
00:37:39,133 --> 00:37:40,884
You know, depending on what they pay.
507
00:37:41,051 --> 00:37:43,929
Highest one maybe being "Water"
because "OASIS," right?
508
00:37:44,096 --> 00:37:45,639
Hell of a latte.
509
00:37:45,806 --> 00:37:47,933
Can you fast-forward to the stuff
about Halliday's date?
510
00:37:48,100 --> 00:37:49,852
What? Halliday actually went on a date?
511
00:37:54,231 --> 00:37:55,274
So, what happened?
512
00:37:55,691 --> 00:37:57,943
Nothing. I invited her over.
513
00:37:58,944 --> 00:38:00,988
Well, did you at least get her name?
514
00:38:01,572 --> 00:38:05,117
Yeah. Kira, I told you,
like the character in The Dark Crystal.
515
00:38:05,284 --> 00:38:07,035
That's her gamer tag.
516
00:38:09,163 --> 00:38:10,164
- Karen.
- Karen.
517
00:38:10,330 --> 00:38:12,249
Yeah, okay? Karen Underwood.
518
00:38:12,666 --> 00:38:16,128
No, no. Karen Underwood,
as in Ogden Morrow's wife?
519
00:38:16,295 --> 00:38:17,546
Just watch.
520
00:38:18,297 --> 00:38:21,758
So, listen, you and Karen Underwood.
What'd you do?
521
00:38:22,050 --> 00:38:24,344
She wanted to go dancing,
522
00:38:24,511 --> 00:38:26,805
so we watched a movie.
523
00:38:28,098 --> 00:38:29,266
And?
524
00:38:31,268 --> 00:38:32,936
Where's the juice?
525
00:38:33,103 --> 00:38:35,230
Give me some juice!
526
00:38:35,314 --> 00:38:38,025
- There is no juice!
- Oh, God!
527
00:38:38,692 --> 00:38:40,194
Hold the phone.
528
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,072
Halliday went on a date
with Ogden Morrow's wife?
529
00:38:44,490 --> 00:38:47,743
Just once, years before they were
even married, but yeah.
530
00:38:47,910 --> 00:38:50,120
And despite that,
and the fact that she died,
531
00:38:50,287 --> 00:38:53,415
the name "Kira" is only mentioned
once in all of Halliday's Journals.
532
00:38:53,582 --> 00:38:54,750
That's not possible.
533
00:38:54,917 --> 00:38:56,627
It is. Look it up.
534
00:38:56,793 --> 00:38:59,087
What we just saw is the only
time she's ever mentioned.
535
00:38:59,254 --> 00:39:00,380
It makes no sense.
536
00:39:00,672 --> 00:39:02,966
She was an important part
of both their lives.
537
00:39:03,133 --> 00:39:05,010
I'll bet you anything. All my coin.
538
00:39:06,887 --> 00:39:09,515
Search "Karen Underwood Morrow."
539
00:39:10,766 --> 00:39:13,769
Kira, I told you,
like the character in The Dark Crystal.
540
00:39:13,936 --> 00:39:15,312
That's her gamer tag.
541
00:39:15,604 --> 00:39:18,690
Halliday purposely removed every
mention of her except for this one.
542
00:39:18,857 --> 00:39:20,317
That's weird. Why?
543
00:39:20,484 --> 00:39:22,319
It's like, it was just so painful for him
544
00:39:22,486 --> 00:39:25,447
to have to see her face or hear her name.
545
00:39:25,614 --> 00:39:27,324
Well, he loved her.
546
00:39:27,491 --> 00:39:28,867
He couldn't tell that to Morrow.
547
00:39:29,034 --> 00:39:30,869
Oh, that's sad.
He should have told her how he felt.
548
00:39:31,036 --> 00:39:32,120
Yeah, well, he missed his chance.
549
00:39:32,538 --> 00:39:33,539
Look.
550
00:39:34,665 --> 00:39:37,709
I found the clue to the race
in the other scene, but...
551
00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:39,294
I've always felt that the biggest clue
552
00:39:39,461 --> 00:39:40,921
to the contest was hidden here.
553
00:39:41,338 --> 00:39:43,048
You're right.
554
00:39:44,174 --> 00:39:45,759
I lose.
555
00:39:46,176 --> 00:39:47,427
Don't sweat it, Curator.
556
00:39:47,594 --> 00:39:50,305
You see, Kira is the Rosebud
at the center of his story.
557
00:39:50,472 --> 00:39:51,515
She's the big mystery.
558
00:39:51,682 --> 00:39:53,976
No, no. A bet is a bet.
559
00:39:55,561 --> 00:39:58,438
Oh, wow. A quarter. You can keep it.
560
00:39:58,605 --> 00:40:00,691
No. You can keep it.
561
00:40:04,069 --> 00:40:06,363
- You free Thursday?
- Who, me?
562
00:40:07,155 --> 00:40:08,865
No, him.
563
00:40:10,117 --> 00:40:11,910
Oh, my God. Yes, you!
564
00:40:14,246 --> 00:40:15,831
You know The Distracted Globe?
565
00:40:15,998 --> 00:40:18,041
Yeah, the dance club.
566
00:40:20,043 --> 00:40:22,713
Meet me there. 10:00 p.m.
567
00:40:22,879 --> 00:40:25,090
There's something I wanna show you.
568
00:40:25,924 --> 00:40:27,426
Uh, bye-bye!
569
00:40:28,552 --> 00:40:30,178
Did she just ask me out?
570
00:40:30,345 --> 00:40:32,055
And I was starting to like her.
571
00:40:32,222 --> 00:40:33,890
All right.
572
00:40:34,057 --> 00:40:35,559
I don't do that.
573
00:40:39,187 --> 00:40:41,106
Z, I can't believe you told her about Kira.
574
00:40:41,273 --> 00:40:43,650
What? I told you.
575
00:40:43,817 --> 00:40:46,111
Hey, what about this?
576
00:40:47,738 --> 00:40:50,449
No. Have you considered
that Art3mis could be using you?
577
00:40:50,616 --> 00:40:54,536
Hey, dude, she's giving me a clue.
Maybe I'm the one using her.
578
00:40:55,078 --> 00:40:58,373
Should I go more Thriller?
579
00:40:58,665 --> 00:41:00,042
No.
580
00:41:00,834 --> 00:41:01,835
Punk?
581
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:02,961
No.
582
00:41:05,047 --> 00:41:06,173
Duran Duran.
583
00:41:06,423 --> 00:41:07,424
No.
584
00:41:08,258 --> 00:41:09,259
Does it look like I'm trying too hard?
585
00:41:09,426 --> 00:41:12,512
Yes! Listen to yourself!
586
00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:15,682
You have a massive cyber
crush on this girl.
587
00:41:15,849 --> 00:41:18,352
She's hacking your heart
to get to your head.
588
00:41:19,936 --> 00:41:21,730
I got it!
589
00:41:22,939 --> 00:41:24,816
- Buckaroo Banzai?
- Yeah!
590
00:41:24,983 --> 00:41:28,070
Really? You're gonna wear the outfit
from your favorite movie?
591
00:41:28,236 --> 00:41:29,446
Don't be that guy.
592
00:41:29,613 --> 00:41:30,656
I am that guy.
593
00:41:30,822 --> 00:41:33,241
Z, you gotta be more careful about
who you meet in the OASIS.
594
00:41:33,408 --> 00:41:36,536
Aech, Art3mis gets me.
She'll get my outfit.
595
00:41:36,703 --> 00:41:39,539
There's just this connection.
I mean, sometimes, we even...
596
00:41:39,706 --> 00:41:41,249
- Finish each other's sentences?
- Yeah!
597
00:41:41,416 --> 00:41:44,169
We have that. Me and you.
598
00:41:44,336 --> 00:41:47,714
Yeah, I know, but that's because
we're best friends, dude.
599
00:41:47,881 --> 00:41:49,675
She could be a dude, too, dude.
600
00:41:49,841 --> 00:41:50,842
Come on.
601
00:41:51,009 --> 00:41:52,552
I'm serious!
602
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,347
She could actually be a 300-pound dude
603
00:41:55,514 --> 00:41:57,891
who lives in his mama's basement
in suburban Detroit.
604
00:41:58,684 --> 00:42:00,519
And her name is Chuck.
605
00:42:02,229 --> 00:42:04,064
Think about that.
606
00:42:34,052 --> 00:42:35,178
Whoa, dude, is that Parzival?
607
00:42:35,387 --> 00:42:37,013
- Parzival!
- Oh, my God, Parzival!
608
00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:39,766
Come here, man. Hey, can we get a photo?
609
00:42:42,436 --> 00:42:44,604
- Thank you so much!
- Dude, you're my hero!
610
00:42:44,771 --> 00:42:46,064
Hey, Parzival.
611
00:42:48,358 --> 00:42:50,193
Thank you.
612
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,960
Get out of town! Buckaroo Banzai?
613
00:43:07,127 --> 00:43:09,296
- Huh?
- I like it. I like Buckaroo Banzai.
614
00:43:09,463 --> 00:43:10,964
- Oh, thanks!
- It's great!
615
00:43:11,131 --> 00:43:12,841
- Yeah! You look...
- Oh.
616
00:43:12,924 --> 00:43:14,259
You look awesome!
617
00:43:14,426 --> 00:43:15,552
- Thank you.
- Wow.
618
00:43:17,345 --> 00:43:19,055
A big one, a small one?
619
00:43:19,222 --> 00:43:20,348
A big one!
620
00:43:35,614 --> 00:43:37,574
Get out of here.
621
00:43:39,284 --> 00:43:41,036
- What a freak!
- I thought he was kind of cute.
622
00:43:41,203 --> 00:43:42,579
Have you been here before?
623
00:43:42,746 --> 00:43:44,372
It's cool, right? I mean...
624
00:43:44,456 --> 00:43:46,666
So, what's the plan?
625
00:43:46,833 --> 00:43:49,127
Are you gonna kill their avatars?
Zero them out?
626
00:43:49,294 --> 00:43:51,254
They're both here at The Distracted Globe.
627
00:43:51,421 --> 00:43:52,756
I can't talk.
628
00:43:53,882 --> 00:43:55,634
The Distracted Globe
was one of the first clubs
629
00:43:55,801 --> 00:43:56,885
Halliday created in the OASIS.
630
00:43:57,052 --> 00:43:58,386
That's common knowledge.
631
00:43:58,553 --> 00:44:00,013
But I double-checked
632
00:44:00,180 --> 00:44:03,183
and it turns out he started building it
right after that moment you showed me.
633
00:44:03,350 --> 00:44:04,351
The date with Kira.
634
00:44:04,518 --> 00:44:06,561
Right, and she was a serious dancer.
635
00:44:06,728 --> 00:44:08,647
Maybe he thought he'd take her here,
636
00:44:08,814 --> 00:44:11,024
like on a virtual date.
637
00:44:11,650 --> 00:44:12,818
As if that ever works.
638
00:44:13,527 --> 00:44:14,653
So Halliday built it for her?
639
00:44:14,820 --> 00:44:16,196
But they never made it
past the first date.
640
00:44:16,363 --> 00:44:17,656
So Halliday's the creator...
641
00:44:17,823 --> 00:44:18,824
Who hates his own creation.
642
00:44:18,907 --> 00:44:20,116
And the club is the thing he hates.
643
00:44:20,283 --> 00:44:22,786
And "A hidden key, a leap not taken"?
644
00:44:26,248 --> 00:44:27,499
But people jump off it all night long.
645
00:44:27,666 --> 00:44:29,501
But none of those people
had the Copper Key,
646
00:44:29,668 --> 00:44:33,213
so when we jump off,
maybe it's different. Right?
647
00:44:33,296 --> 00:44:34,297
Right.
648
00:44:37,175 --> 00:44:38,468
So we take it together?
649
00:44:38,635 --> 00:44:39,803
Sure.
650
00:44:41,805 --> 00:44:43,765
We're not clanning up or anything.
651
00:44:43,932 --> 00:44:46,977
Of course not. I don't clan.
652
00:44:48,103 --> 00:44:49,104
Wait...
653
00:44:49,271 --> 00:44:50,564
Whoa!
654
00:44:51,982 --> 00:44:53,650
Ow! Whoa.
655
00:44:58,154 --> 00:45:01,783
I don't think this is it.
No scoreboard, no obstacles.
656
00:45:01,950 --> 00:45:04,578
- Maybe a dance challenge?
- Whoa!
657
00:45:20,093 --> 00:45:22,053
Old-school!
658
00:45:45,452 --> 00:45:46,620
You come prepared?
659
00:45:46,786 --> 00:45:47,996
"Prepared"?
660
00:45:51,625 --> 00:45:54,044
What kind of haptics you rockin'?
661
00:45:54,210 --> 00:45:56,546
You got the gloves and full visor,
or a full body?
662
00:46:00,634 --> 00:46:02,052
Can you feel this?
663
00:46:05,096 --> 00:46:06,348
Um, yeah.
664
00:46:06,514 --> 00:46:09,893
I got the X1 haptic bootsuit
with the microfiber crotch inlay.
665
00:46:22,322 --> 00:46:25,241
My, Parzival, you did come prepared.
666
00:46:28,620 --> 00:46:31,289
So, I've been thinking.
667
00:46:32,207 --> 00:46:34,668
Maybe it'd be cool if we
met up in the real world.
668
00:46:34,834 --> 00:46:36,252
No, you'd be disappointed.
669
00:46:36,419 --> 00:46:38,880
No, I wouldn't. I like you.
670
00:46:39,047 --> 00:46:41,132
You don't even know me.
671
00:46:41,299 --> 00:46:42,968
This isn't what I really look like.
672
00:46:43,134 --> 00:46:46,972
This isn't my real body, or my real face.
673
00:46:47,138 --> 00:46:48,682
I don't care.
674
00:46:48,848 --> 00:46:50,058
I wanna know your real name.
675
00:47:03,655 --> 00:47:05,115
- My name's Wade.
- What?
676
00:47:06,658 --> 00:47:08,451
- I said my name's...
- Stop!
677
00:47:08,618 --> 00:47:11,329
Well, Buckaroo blows it. Shocking.
678
00:47:11,496 --> 00:47:13,957
Are you crazy?
You don't tell anyone who you are.
679
00:47:14,124 --> 00:47:15,458
You can't use your real name.
680
00:47:15,625 --> 00:47:16,710
You're not just anyone.
681
00:47:16,876 --> 00:47:17,961
You don't know me.
682
00:47:18,128 --> 00:47:19,754
You don't know anything about me.
We've never met.
683
00:47:19,921 --> 00:47:21,673
I do know you, Arty.
684
00:47:23,466 --> 00:47:24,968
I'm in love with you.
685
00:47:33,518 --> 00:47:34,853
- Is this part of the challenge?
- No.
686
00:47:35,895 --> 00:47:37,063
It's an ambush.
687
00:47:44,571 --> 00:47:46,698
IOI, always in the way.
688
00:47:47,323 --> 00:47:48,992
Did you hear what I said?
I said I'm in love with you.
689
00:47:49,159 --> 00:47:50,535
No, you're not.
690
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,580
You only know what I want you to know.
691
00:47:53,747 --> 00:47:55,582
You only see what I want you to see.
692
00:47:58,543 --> 00:48:00,336
That's what you're in love with.
693
00:48:14,225 --> 00:48:15,351
Watch out!
694
00:48:25,612 --> 00:48:27,030
Pull.
695
00:48:39,667 --> 00:48:42,712
Head back! Z!
Your armor is running low.
696
00:48:42,879 --> 00:48:44,005
I just bought this.
697
00:48:52,097 --> 00:48:53,223
Zemeckis Cube.
698
00:48:53,389 --> 00:48:55,225
Turns everything back in time 60 seconds.
699
00:48:59,854 --> 00:49:01,856
And you waited until now to use it?
700
00:49:09,989 --> 00:49:12,117
Wow, you were amazing.
701
00:49:15,286 --> 00:49:17,455
This isn't a game, Z.
702
00:49:18,790 --> 00:49:20,583
I'm doing this to stop IOI.
703
00:49:20,750 --> 00:49:23,086
I'm talking about real-world consequences.
704
00:49:23,253 --> 00:49:24,671
People suffering.
705
00:49:24,838 --> 00:49:26,047
- Actual life-and-death stuff.
- I know. I know...
706
00:49:26,214 --> 00:49:30,677
No, you don't know!
My dad died in a loyalty center.
707
00:49:31,636 --> 00:49:34,347
- He borrowed gear.
- He built up debt.
708
00:49:34,806 --> 00:49:38,143
He moved in with the promise
of working it off, but he never did.
709
00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:40,019
IOI just raised his living expenses,
710
00:49:40,186 --> 00:49:41,604
then he got sick, and he
couldn't afford to get out.
711
00:49:41,771 --> 00:49:43,481
And then he died!
712
00:49:44,274 --> 00:49:45,275
I'm so sorry, I didn't...
713
00:49:45,441 --> 00:49:47,569
No, you don't live in the real world, Z.
714
00:49:47,735 --> 00:49:50,488
From what you've told me,
I don't think you ever have.
715
00:49:50,822 --> 00:49:54,242
You live inside this... This illusion,
716
00:49:54,409 --> 00:49:56,411
and I can't afford to let you distract me.
717
00:50:09,174 --> 00:50:11,342
How the hell did they get away?
718
00:50:11,426 --> 00:50:13,553
Do you want the long version?
Your guys suck.
719
00:50:13,720 --> 00:50:15,263
They failed to kill his avatar,
720
00:50:15,430 --> 00:50:17,515
which, if we're offering
constructive criticism,
721
00:50:17,682 --> 00:50:20,351
was a lame idea and only
would've slowed him down.
722
00:50:20,518 --> 00:50:24,689
Whereas my plan, which was cool
because I rock, actually worked.
723
00:50:24,856 --> 00:50:26,274
He's still on the board.
724
00:50:26,441 --> 00:50:29,986
I know that, Nolan.
But he won't be for long.
725
00:50:30,153 --> 00:50:31,946
I did a search for all the Wades
726
00:50:32,113 --> 00:50:34,157
who had recently bought an X1 bootsuit,
727
00:50:34,324 --> 00:50:37,368
cross-referenced that with public
records, and voilà,
728
00:50:37,535 --> 00:50:41,539
which is French for...
"And then I found out."
729
00:50:42,165 --> 00:50:43,333
Ready?
730
00:50:43,499 --> 00:50:48,171
The real-world identity
of Parzival is Wade Watts.
731
00:50:48,963 --> 00:50:50,506
Voilà.
732
00:50:52,217 --> 00:50:54,385
Are you loyal, Ms. Zandor?
733
00:50:55,094 --> 00:50:56,721
You really want me to answer that?
734
00:50:56,888 --> 00:50:58,264
Well, when you're at war,
735
00:50:58,431 --> 00:51:00,516
you need people who are loyal to a fault.
736
00:51:01,476 --> 00:51:03,186
People you can count on to get things done.
737
00:51:03,353 --> 00:51:05,855
I just get people arrested
for not paying their bills.
738
00:51:06,022 --> 00:51:08,775
Yeah, 'cause there are some problems
that require a physical solution,
739
00:51:08,942 --> 00:51:11,361
but there are other times,
particularly at war,
740
00:51:11,527 --> 00:51:13,071
when you need a different set of rules.
741
00:51:13,238 --> 00:51:14,572
- The rules of war.
- Exactly.
742
00:51:14,739 --> 00:51:17,492
It's too bad my division doesn't
operate inside the OASIS.
743
00:51:17,659 --> 00:51:20,411
Yeah, but if this war remains in the OASIS,
744
00:51:20,578 --> 00:51:22,038
then you can't do anything.
745
00:51:22,956 --> 00:51:25,750
So, this is one of those conversations
that we're not really having.
746
00:51:25,917 --> 00:51:27,502
Well, we've had these kind
of conversations before,
747
00:51:27,669 --> 00:51:28,670
and look where you are now.
748
00:51:28,836 --> 00:51:31,256
You got a seat on the board,
head of your own division,
749
00:51:31,422 --> 00:51:35,218
a division that will cease to exist
if the wrong person wins this contest.
750
00:51:35,385 --> 00:51:38,554
F'Nale, a game decides our fate.
751
00:51:38,721 --> 00:51:42,475
The only question is, how far
are we willing to go to win it?
752
00:51:44,686 --> 00:51:46,729
Tell me what you need, Nolan.
753
00:53:05,099 --> 00:53:06,601
Whoa.
754
00:53:10,438 --> 00:53:11,439
Where am I?
755
00:53:11,606 --> 00:53:14,359
IOI Plaza.
You're a hologram in the real world.
756
00:53:15,276 --> 00:53:16,486
That's a really cool rig.
757
00:53:16,652 --> 00:53:20,823
Thank you.
It's a brand-new Habashaw, OIR 9400.
758
00:53:20,990 --> 00:53:22,700
It looks like a giant hamster ball.
759
00:53:22,867 --> 00:53:27,580
You know, if you came to work
at IOI, you'd get one of these.
760
00:53:27,747 --> 00:53:28,956
I don't clan up.
761
00:53:29,123 --> 00:53:31,751
You'd also get your own penthouse
apartment in Columbus
762
00:53:31,918 --> 00:53:34,045
with the highest-speed connection.
763
00:53:34,212 --> 00:53:39,133
In the OASIS, you'd get unlimited
weapons, magic items, ships.
764
00:53:39,217 --> 00:53:41,302
You want the ship from Defender?
765
00:53:41,469 --> 00:53:44,055
You know, the kind that can
just jump into hyperspace?
766
00:53:44,222 --> 00:53:46,057
You want the Millennium Falcon?
767
00:53:47,016 --> 00:53:48,017
You have that?
768
00:53:48,101 --> 00:53:51,145
Anything you need to help
you find that egg,
769
00:53:51,312 --> 00:53:52,605
and then there's the salary.
770
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:55,733
Four million a year.
771
00:53:55,900 --> 00:53:59,320
And if you do happen to find that
Easter egg, there's a bonus.
772
00:53:59,487 --> 00:54:01,739
Twenty-five million dollars.
773
00:54:07,161 --> 00:54:10,581
I can see you're using
emotion-suppressing software right now,
774
00:54:10,748 --> 00:54:13,584
and why wouldn't you?
It's smart, not to show your hand.
775
00:54:19,090 --> 00:54:22,760
It is a lot of money.
I could really use it.
776
00:54:27,765 --> 00:54:29,976
But I don't think you and
I would have the same plans.
777
00:54:30,143 --> 00:54:33,020
Well, I don't know about that.
What, for the OASIS?
778
00:54:33,187 --> 00:54:36,315
I guess if you're not a John Hughes fan...
779
00:54:37,483 --> 00:54:39,068
Of course I am.
780
00:54:39,235 --> 00:54:41,696
Because the first thing that I would do
781
00:54:41,863 --> 00:54:45,450
is convert all the schools
on Ludus to replicas
782
00:54:45,616 --> 00:54:48,619
from The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller.
783
00:54:48,786 --> 00:54:51,038
No way. That's a great idea.
784
00:54:51,956 --> 00:54:54,250
Which school, Ridgemont or Faber?
785
00:54:54,417 --> 00:54:57,336
Fast Times at Ridgemont High,
not John Hughes.
786
00:54:57,503 --> 00:55:00,590
It's a trap.
Faber College from Animal House.
787
00:55:00,756 --> 00:55:02,049
John Hughes didn't direct
788
00:55:02,216 --> 00:55:04,760
Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Animal House.
789
00:55:05,386 --> 00:55:08,556
Ferris Bueller and The Breakfast Club,
they went to Shermer High School,
790
00:55:08,723 --> 00:55:11,476
which is in Shermer, Illinois.
I know what you think.
791
00:55:12,268 --> 00:55:13,811
You think I'm a corporate asshole,
792
00:55:13,978 --> 00:55:16,189
that I don't appreciate pop culture, but...
793
00:55:17,356 --> 00:55:20,318
Man, that's not true.
You know, when I wanna blow off steam...
794
00:55:20,485 --> 00:55:24,280
Drink Tab, play Robotron,
listen to Duran Duran.
795
00:55:24,447 --> 00:55:25,865
I crack open a Tab.
796
00:55:26,032 --> 00:55:28,284
I put on some Duran Duran.
I play Robotron.
797
00:55:28,451 --> 00:55:30,411
That's why I love the OASIS.
798
00:55:30,578 --> 00:55:33,748
'Cause it's just full of all
these things, man,
799
00:55:33,915 --> 00:55:35,374
that people love. You know?
800
00:55:43,257 --> 00:55:45,593
I'm a businessman. I get it.
801
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,387
But I gotta do my job.
802
00:55:48,554 --> 00:55:53,309
But I didn't ask you here just
to help us find the egg, Parzival.
803
00:55:54,310 --> 00:55:58,064
I asked you here for what comes after.
804
00:55:59,315 --> 00:56:00,942
What would Halliday say?
805
00:56:02,026 --> 00:56:04,695
James Halliday is dead.
806
00:56:05,988 --> 00:56:08,908
Yeah. He is.
807
00:56:09,992 --> 00:56:13,829
All that's left of him is this contest.
And you know what?
808
00:56:14,914 --> 00:56:17,124
It just seems like he wouldn't
want you winning it.
809
00:56:17,291 --> 00:56:18,459
A fanboy knows a hater,
810
00:56:18,626 --> 00:56:21,212
and I know you've got a whole
department of oologists in your ear.
811
00:56:21,379 --> 00:56:23,464
So, if you wanna know
what I really think...
812
00:56:23,631 --> 00:56:25,091
I think you're full of shit.
813
00:56:30,471 --> 00:56:31,556
Here's my offer.
814
00:56:31,722 --> 00:56:33,474
Your board of directors,
you got them in the other ear?
815
00:56:33,641 --> 00:56:35,518
Why don't you tell 'em this.
816
00:56:36,727 --> 00:56:39,146
If they dump you, I'll consider it.
817
00:56:39,522 --> 00:56:41,566
I might say something off the record.
818
00:56:42,608 --> 00:56:44,110
I had to make the offer.
819
00:56:44,277 --> 00:56:47,488
The board expected it,
but I was really hoping you'd say no.
820
00:56:47,655 --> 00:56:50,908
Because if anyone's gonna win
this competition, it's me.
821
00:56:51,075 --> 00:56:52,451
My avatar gets the egg
822
00:56:52,618 --> 00:56:56,205
'cause I'm the only one here
with the balls to run this place.
823
00:56:56,497 --> 00:56:58,833
Wow, you really switched gears there.
824
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,377
From fairly reasonable
to maniacal overlord.
825
00:57:02,086 --> 00:57:04,005
You should be grateful, Wade.
826
00:57:05,089 --> 00:57:08,259
You won't be around
to endure my maniacal reign.
827
00:57:08,509 --> 00:57:10,136
Yeah, that's right.
I know who you are.
828
00:57:10,303 --> 00:57:14,890
Wade Owen Watts, born August 12, 2027.
829
00:57:15,558 --> 00:57:19,395
I also know where you are.
Unit 56K, Columbus stacks.
830
00:57:19,562 --> 00:57:22,148
You were last seen entering
your trailer three days ago.
831
00:57:22,315 --> 00:57:23,691
You haven't left since.
832
00:57:23,858 --> 00:57:24,859
What are you doing? You can't...
833
00:57:25,026 --> 00:57:26,110
With all that's going on in the world,
834
00:57:26,277 --> 00:57:27,945
do you really think that
anyone's gonna give a damn
835
00:57:28,112 --> 00:57:29,113
about an explosion
836
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,991
in some ghetto trash rat warren
in Columbus?
837
00:57:32,158 --> 00:57:34,243
Sorrento, don't do this.
I'm not even there!
838
00:57:34,410 --> 00:57:36,245
Not for long.
839
00:57:39,957 --> 00:57:42,001
Call Alice.
840
00:57:42,168 --> 00:57:43,836
Dial Alice.
841
00:58:10,363 --> 00:58:12,198
Pick up! Pick up! Alice!
842
00:58:17,328 --> 00:58:19,622
This bootsuit's pretty awesome.
Thanks for that.
843
00:58:19,789 --> 00:58:21,707
Rick! Rick, the place is gonna blow!
844
00:58:21,874 --> 00:58:23,209
Rick, is that Wade?
845
00:58:23,376 --> 00:58:25,419
- Put Alice on!
- Let me talk to him.
846
00:58:25,586 --> 00:58:27,505
Don't call here anymore, you got me?
847
00:58:28,964 --> 00:58:31,842
I don't wanna hear your voice ever again.
848
00:59:08,879 --> 00:59:12,425
Contact Aech, Daito, Sho, and Art3mis.
849
00:59:13,259 --> 00:59:15,302
IOI came for me in the real world.
850
00:59:15,469 --> 00:59:18,180
They gotta be coming after you,
so wherever you are...
851
00:59:44,331 --> 00:59:46,208
Sorry about the blindfold.
852
00:59:46,375 --> 00:59:48,502
My guys are a little paranoid.
853
00:59:49,378 --> 00:59:50,963
Say that again.
854
00:59:51,589 --> 00:59:53,924
My guys are a little paranoid.
855
00:59:55,050 --> 00:59:56,469
Art3mis?
856
00:59:58,053 --> 01:00:02,057
My real name is Samantha,
but yeah, I'm Art3mis.
857
01:00:03,976 --> 01:00:06,645
Showers are that way, clean clothes, too.
858
01:00:09,982 --> 01:00:13,986
Welcome to the rebellion, Wade.
859
01:00:25,206 --> 01:00:29,210
That's IOI.
So the stacks are over there?
860
01:00:30,711 --> 01:00:33,506
We've been living this close
to each other the whole time?
861
01:00:35,007 --> 01:00:36,300
Next door,
862
01:00:37,176 --> 01:00:41,222
around the world,
it's all the same in the OASIS.
863
01:00:43,724 --> 01:00:45,684
For the record,
864
01:00:46,143 --> 01:00:47,561
um...
865
01:00:47,645 --> 01:00:49,855
I'm not disappointed.
866
01:00:51,649 --> 01:00:54,568
You said I would be disappointed
when I met you, but...
867
01:00:54,735 --> 01:00:56,403
I'm not.
868
01:00:57,988 --> 01:01:00,741
I've lived with it my whole life.
You don't have to pretend.
869
01:01:15,339 --> 01:01:18,050
You have a birthmark, so what?
870
01:01:19,009 --> 01:01:20,678
Why would that scare me?
871
01:01:27,935 --> 01:01:30,187
Z, if I hurt you, I'm sorry.
872
01:01:30,563 --> 01:01:31,730
No, it's...
873
01:01:32,773 --> 01:01:35,109
Wait, did you just call me "Z"?
874
01:01:36,068 --> 01:01:38,028
- Oh, my God. Did I?
- I think you did.
875
01:01:38,112 --> 01:01:39,738
Wade, I'm sorry.
876
01:01:39,989 --> 01:01:42,157
Yeah, Wade, Z.
877
01:01:42,324 --> 01:01:45,452
You can call me whatever you want.
And I'll call you Sam.
878
01:01:45,619 --> 01:01:46,620
No.
879
01:01:47,746 --> 01:01:48,747
Samantha?
880
01:01:49,248 --> 01:01:51,458
Okay. Cool.
881
01:01:58,799 --> 01:02:00,509
Wow.
882
01:02:01,385 --> 01:02:03,429
It's so much slower here.
883
01:02:04,847 --> 01:02:08,142
I mean, the wind, the people...
884
01:02:10,060 --> 01:02:11,854
Everything.
885
01:02:17,109 --> 01:02:19,111
We forget what it's like to be outside.
886
01:02:19,570 --> 01:02:20,571
Yeah.
887
01:02:23,908 --> 01:02:26,285
- Uh...
- Oh, shit!
888
01:02:27,369 --> 01:02:28,871
- I just figured it out.
- Figured what out?
889
01:02:29,038 --> 01:02:30,414
The second clue. I know what it means.
890
01:02:36,795 --> 01:02:38,297
We've been thinking about it too literally.
891
01:02:38,881 --> 01:02:39,882
"The leap not taken,"
892
01:02:40,049 --> 01:02:42,468
the leap Halliday didn't take,
is with Kira.
893
01:02:42,635 --> 01:02:46,305
Yeah, but... I mean, he blamed her
for breaking up him and Morrow.
894
01:02:46,472 --> 01:02:49,266
No. Halliday was madly in love with her.
895
01:02:49,433 --> 01:02:51,685
He had a chance with Kira.
He had a chance to kiss her, but...
896
01:02:51,852 --> 01:02:52,937
He didn't take the leap.
897
01:02:53,103 --> 01:02:55,773
Right. So that's where we go next.
898
01:02:56,941 --> 01:02:58,317
The place where the leap wasn't taken.
899
01:02:58,484 --> 01:02:59,485
Where the date was.
900
01:02:59,944 --> 01:03:01,570
At the movies!
901
01:03:02,321 --> 01:03:03,948
Hey, Curator.
902
01:03:04,114 --> 01:03:05,950
We figured out the second clue.
The challenge is here.
903
01:03:06,116 --> 01:03:07,993
Halliday kept track of every
movie he ever watched,
904
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,080
the week and the year he watched it,
and how many times.
905
01:03:11,246 --> 01:03:15,334
Curator, can we see
November 23 to 27, 2025?
906
01:03:16,001 --> 01:03:17,795
That's the week he went
on the date with Kira.
907
01:03:22,424 --> 01:03:25,886
Okay, so our options for that week
are The Fly remake.
908
01:03:26,053 --> 01:03:28,013
Great flick, terrible date movie.
909
01:03:28,180 --> 01:03:30,766
Say Anything... That would make sense.
910
01:03:31,684 --> 01:03:36,063
We gotta remember the clue.
"A creator who hates his own creation."
911
01:03:40,734 --> 01:03:42,528
The Shining!
912
01:03:42,695 --> 01:03:44,822
It's Halliday's 11th favorite horror film,
913
01:03:44,989 --> 01:03:47,282
and it's based on the best-selling
book by Stephen King,
914
01:03:47,366 --> 01:03:48,367
who hated the movie!
915
01:03:48,993 --> 01:03:50,911
Hey! No side chitchat.
916
01:03:51,078 --> 01:03:52,371
I think we found it.
917
01:03:56,166 --> 01:03:58,711
Are you absolutely sure
you want to go here?
918
01:03:58,877 --> 01:04:00,587
Absolutely positive.
919
01:04:00,754 --> 01:04:03,173
Let's hope you have the belly for it.
920
01:04:46,550 --> 01:04:47,634
Look.
921
01:04:49,136 --> 01:04:51,138
Ticking clock.
922
01:04:51,305 --> 01:04:54,058
Okay, so I'm estimating about
923
01:04:55,142 --> 01:04:57,019
five minutes to find the key.
924
01:04:57,186 --> 01:04:58,645
Yeah, there are so many keys
in The Shining, though.
925
01:04:58,812 --> 01:05:00,230
Where do we start?
926
01:05:01,648 --> 01:05:04,860
I've never seen The Shining.
Is it really scary?
927
01:05:05,069 --> 01:05:08,238
Uh, I had to watch it through my fingers.
928
01:05:08,989 --> 01:05:11,325
Okay, so we got the key from room 237,
929
01:05:11,950 --> 01:05:13,702
the keys to the Snowcat,
930
01:05:13,869 --> 01:05:15,537
or the keys they give Jack
at the beginning of the movie.
931
01:05:15,704 --> 01:05:17,414
Well, if it's "the leap not taken,"
932
01:05:17,498 --> 01:05:18,499
maybe the key isn't a key at all.
933
01:05:18,665 --> 01:05:19,875
I know where the Snowcat keys are!
934
01:05:20,042 --> 01:05:21,085
I say we split up.
935
01:05:21,251 --> 01:05:22,252
We get all the keys
936
01:05:22,377 --> 01:05:24,379
and then we meet back
at the Torrances' apartment.
937
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,010
Hello, Danny.
938
01:05:31,261 --> 01:05:32,888
Come play with us.
939
01:05:33,055 --> 01:05:36,266
Little girls, y'all know
how to get out of here?
940
01:05:41,271 --> 01:05:42,272
Wait, wait!
941
01:05:42,439 --> 01:05:44,399
Wait, where's Aech?
942
01:05:44,566 --> 01:05:45,818
Wait!
943
01:05:46,944 --> 01:05:47,945
Aech!
944
01:05:48,737 --> 01:05:49,780
No, no, no, no!
945
01:06:08,006 --> 01:06:09,633
Ahh!
946
01:06:14,346 --> 01:06:15,931
Ahh!
947
01:06:49,464 --> 01:06:52,176
Oh, uh, hi, naked lady. I'm sorry.
948
01:06:52,342 --> 01:06:54,094
I didn't mean to interrupt,
uh, your bath time.
949
01:06:54,428 --> 01:06:56,221
I know self-care can be important.
950
01:06:56,430 --> 01:06:59,600
Uh, but can you do me a favor
and tell me, where are all the exits?
951
01:07:03,228 --> 01:07:04,730
Huh. Whoa.
952
01:07:04,813 --> 01:07:07,024
Okay, am I being punked?
953
01:07:07,191 --> 01:07:09,526
'Cause you're likin' me
a little way too much.
954
01:07:11,069 --> 01:07:13,197
All right, you know what?
I'ma go with it.
955
01:07:26,752 --> 01:07:27,794
Ahh!
956
01:08:05,123 --> 01:08:06,375
Time's running out.
957
01:08:06,541 --> 01:08:08,502
Yo, Z, is Art3mis pissed at me?
958
01:08:08,669 --> 01:08:10,921
Dude, I'm pissed at you.
You've never seen The Shining, have you?
959
01:08:11,088 --> 01:08:12,297
You know I hate scary movies!
960
01:08:12,464 --> 01:08:13,465
We got the key.
961
01:08:13,632 --> 01:08:14,883
Sweet! To room 237!
962
01:08:15,050 --> 01:08:17,427
We ain't got no business goin' to room 237!
963
01:08:17,594 --> 01:08:18,595
We should stay out!
964
01:08:18,762 --> 01:08:20,847
Plus, there was this crazy,
naked zombie lady in there.
965
01:08:21,014 --> 01:08:22,516
There are no zombies in The Shining.
966
01:08:22,683 --> 01:08:24,518
Well, maybe it's not supposed
to be like the movie.
967
01:08:24,685 --> 01:08:26,228
Kira is the key.
You're the one who said it.
968
01:08:26,395 --> 01:08:28,522
Hey, y'all. I saw a picture of Kira!
969
01:08:28,605 --> 01:08:30,649
Huh?
970
01:08:33,193 --> 01:08:34,236
Where?
971
01:08:41,243 --> 01:08:44,538
It's Kira. "Escape your past."
972
01:08:45,372 --> 01:08:47,207
"The leap not taken."
973
01:08:48,583 --> 01:08:50,419
Halliday's greatest fear wasn't The Shining
974
01:08:50,585 --> 01:08:52,004
or any book or movie.
975
01:08:53,046 --> 01:08:55,841
His biggest fear was kissing a girl.
976
01:08:56,633 --> 01:08:58,927
That's the leap he couldn't take.
977
01:09:07,144 --> 01:09:08,770
The ballroom.
978
01:09:23,410 --> 01:09:25,495
Aech, come on.
979
01:09:29,082 --> 01:09:31,043
Zombies. Told you.
980
01:09:32,502 --> 01:09:33,712
That's her.
981
01:09:34,838 --> 01:09:36,256
That's Kira.
982
01:09:39,343 --> 01:09:40,510
None of this is in The Shining.
983
01:09:40,677 --> 01:09:43,430
Z, look. That's the zombie-circle
level in Mayhem Mansion,
984
01:09:43,597 --> 01:09:45,057
one of Halliday's first games.
985
01:09:45,223 --> 01:09:47,017
The whole Shining trivia
is just a diversion.
986
01:09:48,268 --> 01:09:49,853
One minute left.
987
01:09:51,313 --> 01:09:52,481
How do we get to her?
988
01:09:52,647 --> 01:09:53,648
Take the leap.
989
01:09:53,815 --> 01:09:54,816
Wait!
990
01:09:56,234 --> 01:09:57,319
Whoa!
991
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,869
Okay, Mr. Dead Guy. Cool if I lead?
992
01:10:53,583 --> 01:10:55,460
Care to dance?
993
01:10:55,877 --> 01:10:59,339
Do you know how long I've been
waiting for you to ask?
994
01:11:05,220 --> 01:11:07,639
Well, well, well.
995
01:11:07,806 --> 01:11:12,185
So you found my Jade Key.
996
01:11:14,688 --> 01:11:16,606
Imagine that.
997
01:11:21,611 --> 01:11:23,155
Thank you.
998
01:11:27,951 --> 01:11:29,995
- Kira was a very beautiful...
- Go on.
999
01:11:59,065 --> 01:12:01,985
One of our oologists saw them
enter the media library.
1000
01:12:02,152 --> 01:12:03,653
She cracked the clue.
1001
01:12:03,820 --> 01:12:06,865
Now, we just have to win
The Shining challenge.
1002
01:12:09,951 --> 01:12:12,662
Get her off me! Get her off me!
1003
01:12:22,172 --> 01:12:26,676
Mr. Sorrento, I really think
you need to see this.
1004
01:12:28,803 --> 01:12:30,597
Now Parzival's got the Jade Key.
1005
01:12:41,024 --> 01:12:43,109
He's alive.
1006
01:12:43,401 --> 01:12:45,737
I know. I'll get back to you.
1007
01:12:46,363 --> 01:12:48,365
I got what you're looking for.
1008
01:12:52,285 --> 01:12:56,498
Freeze. This guy.
The one with the lame tattoo.
1009
01:12:57,082 --> 01:12:58,250
Enlarge.
1010
01:13:00,794 --> 01:13:03,880
Run him through our database,
every IOI drone in Columbus.
1011
01:13:04,047 --> 01:13:05,465
Find him.
1012
01:13:32,409 --> 01:13:33,994
Groceries are here.
1013
01:13:34,119 --> 01:13:35,245
All right. Gluten-O's...
1014
01:13:35,412 --> 01:13:36,705
"If you know the answer ultimate,
1015
01:13:36,788 --> 01:13:37,998
"divide it by the number magic,
1016
01:13:38,164 --> 01:13:41,793
"and what you need, want, and desire
will be found in the fortress tragic."
1017
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:43,962
"Tragic," that's gotta be
Halliday referring to himself.
1018
01:13:44,087 --> 01:13:45,088
Why?
1019
01:13:45,171 --> 01:13:46,298
Because he was lonely.
1020
01:13:46,464 --> 01:13:48,800
He had no one to spend
his life with towards the end.
1021
01:13:48,883 --> 01:13:49,884
Yeah, that's true.
1022
01:13:49,968 --> 01:13:52,762
The contest has gotta be somehow
about connecting with someone.
1023
01:13:52,929 --> 01:13:54,264
Anyone.
1024
01:13:54,431 --> 01:13:55,807
He wants the person
who cares for the OASIS
1025
01:13:55,974 --> 01:13:57,517
to be connected with the world.
1026
01:13:57,684 --> 01:14:00,145
That's what I think he's trying to tell us.
1027
01:14:06,151 --> 01:14:07,777
Wade.
1028
01:14:09,821 --> 01:14:11,489
You understand Halliday.
1029
01:14:12,157 --> 01:14:14,659
You know him better than anyone.
1030
01:14:15,869 --> 01:14:18,413
It's exactly why I think you'll win.
1031
01:14:18,872 --> 01:14:22,667
Really? You really think I'm gonna win?
1032
01:14:26,630 --> 01:14:28,340
Do not move!
1033
01:14:33,803 --> 01:14:35,221
Target identified!
1034
01:14:36,306 --> 01:14:37,849
Freeze! Don't move!
1035
01:14:44,731 --> 01:14:47,275
- This leads right to the alley.
- You first.
1036
01:14:47,359 --> 01:14:49,027
I'm right behind you. Go now!
1037
01:14:50,654 --> 01:14:52,072
Come on!
1038
01:14:52,238 --> 01:14:54,574
- Wade, the OASIS needs you.
- What?
1039
01:14:54,741 --> 01:14:55,867
- I'm gonna delay them.
- Wait!
1040
01:14:56,034 --> 01:14:57,827
No, no, no, wait! No, no, no!
1041
01:14:58,495 --> 01:15:00,664
You'll forgive me for this, I promise.
1042
01:15:09,881 --> 01:15:11,466
Freeze, freeze, freeze!
1043
01:15:12,509 --> 01:15:13,510
Don't move!
1044
01:15:18,807 --> 01:15:21,351
Samantha Evelyn Cook.
1045
01:15:21,518 --> 01:15:25,021
IOI has purchased and consolidated
all of your outstanding debt,
1046
01:15:25,188 --> 01:15:28,274
currently in excess of 23,000 credits.
1047
01:15:28,441 --> 01:15:31,111
You will be remanded
to the nearest IOI loyalty center
1048
01:15:31,319 --> 01:15:32,654
until your debt is paid in full,
1049
01:15:32,821 --> 01:15:35,448
including any interest, processing,
1050
01:15:35,615 --> 01:15:38,118
or late fees you incur henceforth.
1051
01:15:38,284 --> 01:15:40,453
- Does anybody have eyes?
- Check down the next street!
1052
01:15:53,299 --> 01:15:55,343
- "First to the key."
- "First to the egg."
1053
01:15:55,510 --> 01:15:56,803
Wait, what?
1054
01:15:57,804 --> 01:15:59,973
"Never trust someone you
meet in the OASIS."
1055
01:16:01,182 --> 01:16:03,643
"She might be a 300-pound
dude named Chuck..."
1056
01:16:03,810 --> 01:16:07,021
"Who lives in his mama's basement
in suburban Detroit."
1057
01:16:09,399 --> 01:16:10,400
Aech!
1058
01:16:11,317 --> 01:16:14,821
Helen. My dad called me Aech.
It kinda stuck. Let's go!
1059
01:16:24,706 --> 01:16:26,875
That thing's IDing my van.
1060
01:16:41,723 --> 01:16:43,725
Come on. They've spotted us.
1061
01:16:44,559 --> 01:16:45,560
Daito.
1062
01:16:45,643 --> 01:16:48,813
My real name is Toshiro.
Samantha got us a message.
1063
01:16:48,980 --> 01:16:50,648
She told us to meet you here.
1064
01:16:50,815 --> 01:16:52,066
Samantha, they took her to the...
1065
01:16:52,233 --> 01:16:53,651
The loyalty center, I know.
1066
01:16:53,818 --> 01:16:57,030
Look, in other awesome news,
the Sixers found the third challenge.
1067
01:16:57,822 --> 01:16:59,574
- What?
- Just come on, get in!
1068
01:16:59,741 --> 01:17:00,742
All right. Let's go.
1069
01:17:00,867 --> 01:17:03,077
Hurry up. Go, go, go. All right.
1070
01:17:14,839 --> 01:17:17,175
How did IOI find the third
challenge so fast?
1071
01:17:17,342 --> 01:17:19,302
IOI cracked the first
three lines of the clue,
1072
01:17:19,469 --> 01:17:20,512
so they knew it was sector 14
1073
01:17:20,678 --> 01:17:22,472
but they couldn't figure out
"the fortress tragic."
1074
01:17:22,639 --> 01:17:24,974
So they sent every guide
they had into that sector
1075
01:17:25,141 --> 01:17:27,018
until they found the right fortress.
1076
01:17:28,144 --> 01:17:29,437
Sho?
1077
01:17:29,604 --> 01:17:31,731
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm 11, so what?
1078
01:17:31,898 --> 01:17:33,775
His real name is Xo.
1079
01:17:33,942 --> 01:17:36,528
But everyone else calls
me Sho, no big deal.
1080
01:17:36,694 --> 01:17:39,322
No. It is a big deal.
1081
01:17:39,489 --> 01:17:42,909
Sho, you're the world's most
badass 11 -year-old ever.
1082
01:17:43,034 --> 01:17:44,035
He knows.
1083
01:17:44,118 --> 01:17:46,162
Shut up! Let him tell me.
1084
01:17:46,329 --> 01:17:47,372
Aech!
1085
01:17:50,917 --> 01:17:52,460
We have to go save Samantha.
1086
01:17:52,627 --> 01:17:54,838
Well, we can't just go
through the doors of IOI.
1087
01:17:55,004 --> 01:17:57,048
Look, I've been thinkin' about it.
I got a better plan.
1088
01:17:57,215 --> 01:17:59,050
You saw Sorrento's rig, right?
1089
01:17:59,217 --> 01:18:00,218
Yeah.
1090
01:18:00,385 --> 01:18:03,596
Let's go after the man himself and
make him give Art3mis back to us.
1091
01:18:03,763 --> 01:18:05,515
But first, I have to know exactly,
1092
01:18:05,682 --> 01:18:07,600
how much about Sorrento's rig
do you remember?
1093
01:18:09,060 --> 01:18:11,312
Kind of everything.
1094
01:18:25,076 --> 01:18:28,913
Maintenance, report to loyalty pod 31-B.
1095
01:18:33,042 --> 01:18:37,589
Security, please report
to section 97 for escort.
1096
01:18:58,401 --> 01:19:01,195
Hey! Newbie, get to work.
1097
01:19:03,406 --> 01:19:04,741
Get to work.
1098
01:19:10,830 --> 01:19:13,917
Work violation.
Work violation.
1099
01:19:15,710 --> 01:19:18,755
Lay those charges every six feet.
1100
01:19:23,801 --> 01:19:25,929
Keep it moving!
1101
01:19:27,263 --> 01:19:28,264
Hey, you!
1102
01:19:30,433 --> 01:19:32,185
Those are explosives!
1103
01:19:33,645 --> 01:19:37,023
IOI will not reimburse any
lost coin if you zero out.
1104
01:19:37,190 --> 01:19:38,942
Keep it moving!
1105
01:19:43,696 --> 01:19:46,574
So what is this challenge,
some sort of video game thing?
1106
01:19:46,741 --> 01:19:48,660
An Atari 2600, sir.
1107
01:19:48,826 --> 01:19:52,372
And every game ever made for it,
thousands of possibilities.
1108
01:19:53,206 --> 01:19:54,207
Come up!
1109
01:19:59,045 --> 01:20:00,338
Halliday,
1110
01:20:00,505 --> 01:20:01,881
this is how you plan to resolve
1111
01:20:02,048 --> 01:20:05,093
the fate of the world's most
important economic resource?
1112
01:20:05,885 --> 01:20:07,679
- Call me when you're close.
- Yes, sir.
1113
01:20:07,845 --> 01:20:09,389
Go, go! No! Ahh!
1114
01:20:11,641 --> 01:20:14,519
One minute into Centipede, the ice broke.
1115
01:20:14,936 --> 01:20:16,437
It has to be Joust!
1116
01:20:16,562 --> 01:20:19,732
Halliday still holds the world record
on the 2600 port of that game.
1117
01:20:19,899 --> 01:20:21,317
Maybe we just need to beat his high score.
1118
01:20:21,484 --> 01:20:24,028
Pitfall! One of the only 2600
games that still hasn't ended.
1119
01:20:24,195 --> 01:20:25,321
And how about those Swordquest games?
1120
01:20:25,488 --> 01:20:26,531
Yes! The Swordquest games.
1121
01:20:26,698 --> 01:20:29,534
They were created for a contest
Atari held with real...
1122
01:20:37,291 --> 01:20:38,918
i-R0k, how are we doin'?
1123
01:20:40,294 --> 01:20:42,380
To be honest, I think I need
physical therapy because it's not...
1124
01:20:42,547 --> 01:20:44,549
Is the Orb ready?
1125
01:20:45,550 --> 01:20:47,218
Um, as you wish.
1126
01:20:51,389 --> 01:20:52,390
The Orb...
1127
01:20:52,557 --> 01:20:53,975
Of Osuvox.
1128
01:20:54,851 --> 01:20:55,935
Ah...
1129
01:20:56,019 --> 01:20:57,395
How does it work?
1130
01:20:57,562 --> 01:21:01,357
Has it got, like, a remote or is
there a button or something?
1131
01:21:01,524 --> 01:21:04,986
Nolan, it's a level-99 magic artifact,
1132
01:21:05,153 --> 01:21:08,781
not one of your drones,
so it is activated by a magic spell.
1133
01:21:08,948 --> 01:21:10,992
Would you care to do the honors?
1134
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:04,170
Where is she?
1135
01:22:04,337 --> 01:22:05,463
How'd you get in here?
1136
01:22:05,630 --> 01:22:06,756
- Art3mis.
- Who?
1137
01:22:06,923 --> 01:22:09,967
Samantha Cook. Where is she?
1138
01:22:11,594 --> 01:22:14,972
If you wanna talk, we can talk,
but you gotta put that gun down.
1139
01:22:15,473 --> 01:22:17,809
You killed my mom's sister.
1140
01:22:18,392 --> 01:22:19,894
You think I won't kill you?
1141
01:22:20,019 --> 01:22:24,065
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Just slow down, okay?
1142
01:22:24,232 --> 01:22:27,443
That was a corporate decision.
It was not personal.
1143
01:22:27,610 --> 01:22:28,611
Where is she?
1144
01:22:28,778 --> 01:22:31,114
She's downstairs in the loyalty center!
1145
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:34,033
I know she's in the goddamn loyalty center.
1146
01:22:34,617 --> 01:22:36,911
You're gonna tell me
exactly which rig she's in
1147
01:22:37,078 --> 01:22:39,413
and the access code to contact her.
1148
01:22:40,498 --> 01:22:42,750
Yeah, that seems appropriate.
1149
01:22:45,628 --> 01:22:47,630
Start with access code.
1150
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:50,967
6, 45, 7, 25.
1151
01:22:51,134 --> 01:22:52,385
Where's the rig?
1152
01:23:03,312 --> 01:23:04,897
I think he pissed himself.
1153
01:23:05,523 --> 01:23:07,358
Good job, Z. We're in his account.
1154
01:23:07,525 --> 01:23:09,277
So he really doesn't know
he's in the OASIS?
1155
01:23:11,654 --> 01:23:14,073
This is what Sorrento should be seeing,
1156
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:17,368
but this... This is what
we're making him see.
1157
01:23:18,494 --> 01:23:21,372
We grabbed him in transit just
as he was logging out of the OASIS,
1158
01:23:21,539 --> 01:23:24,208
so he thinks he's back
in his office in the real world.
1159
01:23:24,417 --> 01:23:28,087
But actually, he's here,
in the identical office that Aech built.
1160
01:23:28,254 --> 01:23:30,798
So, you basically just
remotely hacked his rig.
1161
01:23:30,965 --> 01:23:33,843
A fixed rig like Sorrento's is easy
to locate, hard to hack.
1162
01:23:34,010 --> 01:23:36,554
Unless he's stupid enough to leave
his password lying around.
1163
01:23:36,721 --> 01:23:37,972
Loyalty center, I'm in.
1164
01:23:38,139 --> 01:23:39,891
All right, let's get to work.
1165
01:23:47,690 --> 01:23:49,859
- Arty.
- Z? Z? Z?
1166
01:23:50,026 --> 01:23:51,402
Arty, don't say anything.
1167
01:23:51,569 --> 01:23:53,529
I'm tapped directly into your audio feed.
1168
01:23:55,156 --> 01:23:56,240
How did you find me?
1169
01:23:56,407 --> 01:23:58,367
We got his password, hacked Sorrento's rig.
1170
01:23:59,994 --> 01:24:01,746
Z, I have something to tell you.
1171
01:24:02,038 --> 01:24:04,290
Not now. I have something to show
you that'll get you out of there.
1172
01:24:04,457 --> 01:24:07,043
The Sixers found the third challenge.
It's on Planet Doom.
1173
01:24:07,919 --> 01:24:09,295
And there's more,
they just put a force field
1174
01:24:09,462 --> 01:24:11,255
around Anorak's Castle.
1175
01:24:15,718 --> 01:24:18,221
I heard one of the guards
calling it "the Orb of Osuvox,"
1176
01:24:18,387 --> 01:24:20,765
and the only way to take it
down is from the inside.
1177
01:24:20,932 --> 01:24:23,935
She's right. Level-99 artifact,
1178
01:24:24,101 --> 01:24:26,896
creates a magic-resistant,
impenetrable barrier.
1179
01:24:27,063 --> 01:24:28,064
No way through it.
1180
01:24:28,231 --> 01:24:29,649
Okay, listen.
That's not important right now.
1181
01:24:29,815 --> 01:24:31,859
What's important is that we
get you out of the rig.
1182
01:24:34,654 --> 01:24:36,948
All right, so I'm looking
at a diagram of your rig.
1183
01:24:39,700 --> 01:24:41,953
If you reach up with your
left hand at 11 o'clock,
1184
01:24:42,119 --> 01:24:43,913
there's a panel above your head.
1185
01:24:48,709 --> 01:24:50,711
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can feel it.
1186
01:24:50,878 --> 01:24:52,672
Okay, there should be two release handles.
1187
01:24:52,838 --> 01:24:54,257
Nine o'clock and three o'clock.
Can you feel them?
1188
01:24:54,423 --> 01:24:56,759
- Yeah, I got it.
- Okay, pull it towards you.
1189
01:24:59,136 --> 01:25:00,638
Okay, inside the panel, there's a lever.
1190
01:25:00,805 --> 01:25:03,266
Grab it with your right hand
and slide it to the left.
1191
01:25:03,432 --> 01:25:04,850
That should release you.
1192
01:25:12,191 --> 01:25:13,985
It worked. It worked, I'm out.
1193
01:25:14,944 --> 01:25:16,988
Loyalty pod 41-F,
1194
01:25:17,071 --> 01:25:19,991
you are on an authorized
break for 10 minutes.
1195
01:25:25,329 --> 01:25:28,332
Pod 41-F, you are on 10-minute break.
1196
01:25:28,499 --> 01:25:30,626
Proceed to break area.
1197
01:25:31,919 --> 01:25:33,129
Wade, are you still there?
1198
01:25:33,296 --> 01:25:34,338
Yeah, I'm here. Where are you?
1199
01:25:34,505 --> 01:25:35,589
Where is Sorrento's office?
1200
01:25:35,756 --> 01:25:37,967
It's in the IOI war room,
two levels above where you are now.
1201
01:25:38,134 --> 01:25:39,760
But that's not the way out.
1202
01:25:39,927 --> 01:25:41,470
What's his password?
1203
01:25:42,805 --> 01:25:43,931
Wade, answer me.
1204
01:25:44,098 --> 01:25:47,977
Okay, it's capital B-0-55-man-69.
1205
01:25:48,144 --> 01:25:50,354
But, Arty, you need to go.
1206
01:25:50,521 --> 01:25:51,814
You need to raise an army.
1207
01:25:52,732 --> 01:25:53,733
An army?
1208
01:25:53,899 --> 01:25:55,901
Get to Planet Doom,
and wait for my signal.
1209
01:25:55,985 --> 01:25:56,986
What signal?
1210
01:25:57,278 --> 01:25:58,487
I'm gonna take down that shield.
1211
01:25:58,654 --> 01:26:01,073
Wait, Arty, wait!
You gotta get out of there! Arty!
1212
01:26:09,749 --> 01:26:12,209
Hey, how much are they paying you?
1213
01:26:12,376 --> 01:26:14,003
'Cause, man, I got a lot of paper.
1214
01:26:14,170 --> 01:26:16,380
You know, I can make you, like, a forest.
1215
01:26:16,547 --> 01:26:18,674
Hey, shut up.
1216
01:26:18,841 --> 01:26:19,925
Okay.
1217
01:26:42,573 --> 01:26:44,742
This isn't real, you're tapping my feed.
1218
01:26:44,825 --> 01:26:46,827
Uh-oh. Guys.
1219
01:27:05,388 --> 01:27:07,932
F'Nale, they've hacked my rig.
They're after the girl.
1220
01:27:08,099 --> 01:27:09,767
Meet me at loyalty.
1221
01:27:23,906 --> 01:27:27,326
Pod 41-F, you have
exceeded your break time.
1222
01:27:27,493 --> 01:27:31,205
Report to security or your
coin count will be reset to zero.
1223
01:27:40,172 --> 01:27:44,802
So, she just walks out of here,
how does that happen?
1224
01:27:44,969 --> 01:27:47,012
They're smart.
They knew what they were doing.
1225
01:27:47,179 --> 01:27:49,932
But we know they're in Columbus.
And now, all five of them are together.
1226
01:27:50,099 --> 01:27:52,435
Wait. Wait, we know what?
How do we know?
1227
01:27:52,601 --> 01:27:56,188
We have the make and model of the van.
We'll spot them.
1228
01:27:56,355 --> 01:27:58,315
"We'll spot them"?
1229
01:27:58,482 --> 01:28:01,569
That sounds like a great
inscription for our tombstones.
1230
01:28:01,735 --> 01:28:03,112
Why didn't you tell me this earlier?
1231
01:28:03,279 --> 01:28:04,697
It wasn't relevant yet.
1232
01:28:04,864 --> 01:28:05,948
I need to know where they are.
1233
01:28:06,115 --> 01:28:07,491
We need to know. We need to find them!
1234
01:28:07,658 --> 01:28:10,536
They're kids, Nolan. Man the hell up!
1235
01:28:10,703 --> 01:28:13,747
Do your job, and I'll do mine,
unless you wanna take this
1236
01:28:13,914 --> 01:28:15,916
and go after them yourself.
1237
01:28:20,504 --> 01:28:21,755
Find them!
1238
01:28:30,764 --> 01:28:35,352
The Complete Nancy Drew,
Kegel Exercises for...
1239
01:28:37,021 --> 01:28:39,190
Bingo. Okay.
1240
01:28:39,773 --> 01:28:41,859
"Congratulations, you are
the proud owner of the Orb of Osuvox,
1241
01:28:42,026 --> 01:28:43,360
"a 99th level magic artifact.
1242
01:28:43,527 --> 01:28:46,655
"Read these instructions before deploying.
To turn orb on, off."
1243
01:28:46,822 --> 01:28:48,157
Off! Yes, off.
1244
01:28:48,324 --> 01:28:50,576
"Utter spell within 10 feet of orb."
1245
01:29:04,548 --> 01:29:06,592
Citizens of the OASIS,
1246
01:29:06,759 --> 01:29:09,053
I am Parzival, first to the key.
1247
01:29:09,595 --> 01:29:12,473
I'm here talking to all of you now
because our future's being threatened
1248
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:15,726
by people who will stop at nothing
to win this contest.
1249
01:29:16,727 --> 01:29:18,479
Some of you already know this,
1250
01:29:18,646 --> 01:29:21,941
and you've lost much more than just
your avatars or your weapons.
1251
01:29:22,733 --> 01:29:26,612
Some have lost their freedom.
Some have lost their lives.
1252
01:29:29,114 --> 01:29:31,075
And now, this.
1253
01:29:31,909 --> 01:29:34,870
A force field around the third challenge.
1254
01:29:37,414 --> 01:29:40,543
I only came here to escape
the shitty hand that life dealt me.
1255
01:29:41,418 --> 01:29:44,046
But I stayed, like many of you,
1256
01:29:44,213 --> 01:29:48,842
because I found something
much bigger than just myself.
1257
01:29:49,301 --> 01:29:51,095
I found a cause.
1258
01:29:52,263 --> 01:29:54,348
I found my friends.
1259
01:29:55,558 --> 01:29:58,978
And yes, I know it's kind
of a groaner, but...
1260
01:30:00,312 --> 01:30:01,897
I found love.
1261
01:30:03,190 --> 01:30:04,483
And I don't wanna lose that
1262
01:30:04,650 --> 01:30:07,319
to this colossal douchebag, Nolan Sorrento.
1263
01:30:07,486 --> 01:30:10,948
This guy. Back to work, people.
1264
01:30:11,699 --> 01:30:14,535
He thinks that we're all too
distracted to even notice...
1265
01:30:15,953 --> 01:30:20,583
Nolan Sorrento thinks
that we won't put up a fight.
1266
01:30:20,749 --> 01:30:21,917
Sir! Sir!
1267
01:30:22,001 --> 01:30:23,002
This is going out live!
1268
01:30:23,085 --> 01:30:24,169
The only thing Halliday let this guy do...
1269
01:30:24,336 --> 01:30:26,589
- It's absolutely everywhere.
- ...was get him a cup of coffee.
1270
01:30:26,755 --> 01:30:28,424
And now, we're supposed
to hand him the OASIS?
1271
01:30:36,348 --> 01:30:39,101
This Parzival... Oh, man.
1272
01:30:43,188 --> 01:30:45,524
Come on, come on. Give me this thing.
1273
01:30:45,691 --> 01:30:46,817
Yes, sir.
1274
01:30:47,526 --> 01:30:49,486
Left arm.
1275
01:30:49,653 --> 01:30:51,989
- Left arm!
- Sir.
1276
01:30:52,156 --> 01:30:53,991
No, I need the left arm.
1277
01:30:54,158 --> 01:30:56,452
No, I don't care if... I want it on.
1278
01:30:58,495 --> 01:31:01,040
He thinks that we won't
even put up a fight!
1279
01:31:01,123 --> 01:31:03,751
Well, I say he's wrong.
1280
01:31:03,917 --> 01:31:07,546
I say, tell that to the gunter clans
in the gold mines of Gygax.
1281
01:31:07,713 --> 01:31:10,883
Activate the Iron Giant.
1282
01:31:35,032 --> 01:31:39,953
Ask yourselves, are you willing
to zero out for the OASIS?
1283
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:41,997
Are you willing to fight?
1284
01:31:43,457 --> 01:31:45,876
I am Parzival of the High Five.
1285
01:31:46,043 --> 01:31:48,629
In the name of Art3mis,
in the name of Aech,
1286
01:31:48,796 --> 01:31:50,923
in the name of Daito and Sho,
1287
01:31:51,507 --> 01:31:54,051
we ask you to join us on Planet Doom.
1288
01:31:55,052 --> 01:31:58,013
In the name of James Halliday himself,
1289
01:31:58,180 --> 01:32:00,182
help us save the OASIS.
1290
01:32:55,195 --> 01:32:57,573
No, no, no, no.
1291
01:33:07,708 --> 01:33:10,252
"No man is a failure who has friends."
1292
01:33:32,441 --> 01:33:35,611
Squadron 14, armor up,
you're in the lead.
1293
01:33:48,540 --> 01:33:51,251
One minute into Swordquest, the ice broke.
1294
01:33:52,961 --> 01:33:56,548
Well, all three Swordquests.
What's next?
1295
01:33:56,715 --> 01:33:58,383
Dark Cavern, Laser Blast.
1296
01:33:58,550 --> 01:33:59,635
It's Adventure.
1297
01:33:59,802 --> 01:34:01,887
Released in 1979, for the 2600,
1298
01:34:02,054 --> 01:34:03,597
Adventure was created by Warren Robinett,
1299
01:34:03,764 --> 01:34:06,141
who was the first video game designer
ever to hide his name. In fact...
1300
01:34:06,308 --> 01:34:08,310
Try Adventure.
1301
01:34:09,561 --> 01:34:11,063
Play Adventure.
1302
01:35:03,448 --> 01:35:05,617
More than a minute, we're still alive.
1303
01:35:05,784 --> 01:35:07,578
This must be the right game.
1304
01:35:14,585 --> 01:35:17,379
How long does it last, this orb thing?
1305
01:35:24,845 --> 01:35:27,431
I'd say about ten...
1306
01:35:27,598 --> 01:35:30,684
Yeah, about 10 million years,
so we should be fine.
1307
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:49,870
First to the key!
1308
01:35:50,037 --> 01:35:51,705
First to the egg!
1309
01:35:51,872 --> 01:35:53,206
First to the egg!
1310
01:35:53,290 --> 01:35:54,541
First to the egg!
1311
01:36:23,070 --> 01:36:24,154
Adventure.
1312
01:36:40,587 --> 01:36:42,798
What? Come on!
1313
01:37:12,411 --> 01:37:13,996
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
1314
01:37:16,164 --> 01:37:18,750
The Sixers are in the final challenge.
It's an Atari 2600.
1315
01:37:18,917 --> 01:37:20,627
Are you in the Sixer war room?
1316
01:37:21,169 --> 01:37:22,587
No, no, no. You gotta get out of there.
1317
01:37:22,754 --> 01:37:24,423
They're playing Adventure.
1318
01:37:25,048 --> 01:37:27,300
Adventure, of course!
1319
01:37:27,467 --> 01:37:28,927
Created by Warren Robinett!
1320
01:37:29,094 --> 01:37:30,637
He was the first designer to ever
hide an Easter egg in...
1321
01:37:30,804 --> 01:37:31,805
Dude!
1322
01:37:36,852 --> 01:37:39,521
We're looking for a USPS truck, Ohio plates,
1323
01:37:39,688 --> 01:37:42,691
a drone spitter, 2036 model.
1324
01:38:01,251 --> 01:38:04,588
Daito! When are you
getting into this fight?
1325
01:38:18,310 --> 01:38:19,686
I'm out. Inventory's empty.
1326
01:38:19,853 --> 01:38:20,854
Last clip for me.
1327
01:38:21,021 --> 01:38:22,064
More weapons!
1328
01:38:22,230 --> 01:38:24,232
Anti-personnel ordinance cannon!
1329
01:38:24,399 --> 01:38:26,318
Anti-personnel ordinance cannon!
1330
01:38:29,279 --> 01:38:30,572
Railgun!
1331
01:38:30,739 --> 01:38:31,948
Railgun!
1332
01:38:37,162 --> 01:38:38,330
Yo, Z!
1333
01:38:38,872 --> 01:38:42,501
Yo, Z! Try this little guy.
1334
01:38:46,088 --> 01:38:47,255
Ow!
1335
01:38:47,756 --> 01:38:49,591
Get rid of it! Get rid of it!
1336
01:38:50,717 --> 01:38:52,511
It's fucking Chucky!
1337
01:38:57,849 --> 01:38:59,351
Move! Move!
1338
01:38:59,935 --> 01:39:01,436
Go, go, go!
1339
01:39:59,202 --> 01:40:00,704
Mechagodzilla!
1340
01:40:21,892 --> 01:40:25,228
Daito, we need you! Daito, now!
1341
01:40:25,395 --> 01:40:27,564
Get to the bridge.
Go now, he's distracted.
1342
01:40:27,647 --> 01:40:28,648
Go, go, go.
1343
01:41:09,981 --> 01:41:10,982
Z!
1344
01:41:30,919 --> 01:41:31,920
Arty!
1345
01:41:32,003 --> 01:41:34,256
Get to the castle!
Win the third key before they do!
1346
01:41:46,017 --> 01:41:47,227
What is that?
1347
01:41:47,394 --> 01:41:50,105
He's only got 30 seconds
before changing back!
1348
01:42:01,324 --> 01:42:04,202
Daito, abort, abort! You got 10 seconds!
1349
01:42:18,883 --> 01:42:20,093
First to the egg!
1350
01:42:59,549 --> 01:43:00,842
Shit, it's her.
1351
01:43:20,904 --> 01:43:23,448
Arty! Arty!
1352
01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:26,451
Z! Got to get to the castle!
1353
01:43:32,791 --> 01:43:35,377
She never left. She's still here.
1354
01:43:38,338 --> 01:43:39,839
The girl's in the war room.
1355
01:44:18,002 --> 01:44:19,546
No, no, no.
1356
01:44:33,685 --> 01:44:36,229
Sho! Hang on!
1357
01:44:55,665 --> 01:44:57,250
No!
1358
01:45:19,731 --> 01:45:21,232
Arty, we've got this.
You need to log out.
1359
01:45:21,649 --> 01:45:24,235
If the game is Adventure,
why haven't they won yet?
1360
01:45:24,402 --> 01:45:26,112
I don't know. Arty, Arty.
1361
01:45:26,279 --> 01:45:28,198
I'm serious, Sorrento's crazy.
He'll kill you.
1362
01:45:30,450 --> 01:45:31,910
What are you looking at?
1363
01:45:32,410 --> 01:45:34,162
There's nothing over there.
1364
01:45:35,205 --> 01:45:36,206
You're in trouble, aren't you?
1365
01:45:39,667 --> 01:45:43,046
Samantha, you know I love you.
1366
01:45:43,213 --> 01:45:44,422
Not the time, Z.
1367
01:45:44,589 --> 01:45:45,882
I can handle the challenge,
1368
01:45:46,049 --> 01:45:47,884
but I can't let you get
hurt in the real world.
1369
01:45:49,135 --> 01:45:52,305
Get out of IOI, and meet us at River South.
1370
01:45:58,686 --> 01:46:00,230
Wade, no.
1371
01:46:00,396 --> 01:46:02,106
You'll forgive me for this, I promise.
1372
01:46:02,273 --> 01:46:03,399
Wade, no, no, no.
1373
01:46:13,535 --> 01:46:16,538
Get it together, Sixer. Back to respawn.
1374
01:46:16,996 --> 01:46:18,164
Let's go, move.
1375
01:46:18,331 --> 01:46:19,541
You're in.
1376
01:46:37,809 --> 01:46:40,270
Holy hand grenade!
How much did that cost?
1377
01:46:40,436 --> 01:46:42,897
Less than it's gonna cost them.
1378
01:46:44,023 --> 01:46:45,525
What is that?
1379
01:46:55,910 --> 01:46:58,454
Sir, the gunters are approaching the challenge.
1380
01:46:58,621 --> 01:47:00,498
- i-R0k?
- In position, sir.
1381
01:47:00,623 --> 01:47:01,624
Prepare my rig.
1382
01:47:01,916 --> 01:47:04,544
The ice is holding. Still going.
1383
01:47:14,887 --> 01:47:16,055
Wait.
1384
01:47:16,222 --> 01:47:17,348
He's trying to win.
1385
01:47:20,727 --> 01:47:23,271
Yeah! I won.
1386
01:47:26,774 --> 01:47:28,568
He lost.
1387
01:47:28,735 --> 01:47:30,737
Not Adventure.
1388
01:47:34,866 --> 01:47:39,162
Everyone who wins loses.
1389
01:47:39,329 --> 01:47:42,624
It's not about winning.
It's about playing.
1390
01:47:43,750 --> 01:47:45,793
Remember Halliday's announcement.
1391
01:47:46,252 --> 01:47:48,504
The keys are invisible,
and they're hidden in a dark room
1392
01:47:48,671 --> 01:47:50,632
that's at the center of a maze.
1393
01:47:51,257 --> 01:47:54,761
Well, there's a secret in Adventure,
and you don't find it by winning.
1394
01:47:54,927 --> 01:47:57,347
You find it by wandering
around in a dark room.
1395
01:47:57,847 --> 01:47:59,390
Until you get to the invisible dot.
1396
01:47:59,557 --> 01:48:01,100
It's pretty easy if you know
what you're doing.
1397
01:48:01,267 --> 01:48:02,518
Really?
1398
01:48:03,436 --> 01:48:05,480
Let me finish it for you.
1399
01:48:09,776 --> 01:48:11,027
It's your last chance, Wade.
1400
01:48:11,694 --> 01:48:14,447
Last chance. Give me the key.
1401
01:48:14,614 --> 01:48:18,701
I give you 50 million in your
account right now.
1402
01:48:19,661 --> 01:48:21,412
Why the hell would I ever do that?
1403
01:48:23,206 --> 01:48:24,874
Dude! That's the Cataclyst.
1404
01:48:25,166 --> 01:48:26,876
Now, personally, I don't care.
1405
01:48:27,043 --> 01:48:28,628
I'd just as soon never set
foot in the OASIS again,
1406
01:48:28,795 --> 01:48:30,797
let alone have to deal
with any of this absurdity.
1407
01:48:30,963 --> 01:48:34,258
But I know how important Halliday's
competition is to you, so...
1408
01:48:36,177 --> 01:48:40,431
I will never let the future of the OASIS
rest in your hands, Nolan Sorrento.
1409
01:48:40,598 --> 01:48:44,477
Well, that's fine.
Three easy steps. One.
1410
01:48:44,644 --> 01:48:46,938
Wait, I thought you were bluffing.
You know that kills all of us, right?
1411
01:48:47,105 --> 01:48:49,023
I've got 10 years' worth
of shit inside of me.
1412
01:48:49,190 --> 01:48:50,692
Last chance. Two.
1413
01:48:50,858 --> 01:48:52,068
I'm not goin' out like that.
1414
01:48:52,235 --> 01:48:53,319
That's a camper move.
1415
01:48:53,486 --> 01:48:54,654
You don't even know how to activate an orb.
1416
01:49:07,083 --> 01:49:08,167
Yeah, I felt those.
1417
01:49:09,585 --> 01:49:11,671
But this is my world, Sorrento.
1418
01:49:15,633 --> 01:49:16,884
Hadouken!
1419
01:49:36,487 --> 01:49:38,948
- No, no, no!
- Step three.
1420
01:49:39,115 --> 01:49:40,825
No, no, no!
1421
01:50:38,341 --> 01:50:40,009
Get me out of this thing.
1422
01:50:54,482 --> 01:50:55,817
Uh...
1423
01:50:55,900 --> 01:50:57,151
Guys?
1424
01:51:03,741 --> 01:51:05,576
Z. He's still alive!
1425
01:51:13,501 --> 01:51:15,294
Extra life.
1426
01:51:17,713 --> 01:51:19,131
Thanks, Curator.
1427
01:51:22,009 --> 01:51:23,135
Hold on.
1428
01:51:30,893 --> 01:51:32,895
Live feed in all OASIS channels.
1429
01:51:33,521 --> 01:51:35,940
Halliday's letting everyone watch
the end of the contest.
1430
01:51:36,107 --> 01:51:37,316
That's so Halliday.
1431
01:51:37,483 --> 01:51:39,569
God damn it, we tried Adventure.
1432
01:51:39,735 --> 01:51:41,028
No, we tried to win it.
1433
01:51:41,195 --> 01:51:43,614
But the hidden room isn't
at the end of the game.
1434
01:51:43,781 --> 01:51:46,534
You've gotta go straight
to the invisible dot at the start.
1435
01:51:59,964 --> 01:52:00,965
Is that her?
1436
01:52:01,257 --> 01:52:05,261
Red hair, IOI uniform,
doesn't know what planet she's on?
1437
01:52:05,344 --> 01:52:06,387
That's her.
1438
01:52:18,232 --> 01:52:20,943
I'm Toshiro. You know me as Daito.
1439
01:52:23,863 --> 01:52:24,906
Oh.
1440
01:52:27,658 --> 01:52:29,076
Hey, Arty.
1441
01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:35,124
Yeah, I know.
Not what you were expecting, huh?
1442
01:52:35,291 --> 01:52:39,837
Yeah, I wasn't expecting
a late '30s-model postal van.
1443
01:52:41,923 --> 01:52:42,924
Wade?
1444
01:52:43,633 --> 01:52:45,885
Wait, I thought the Cataclyst went off.
How are you still playing?
1445
01:52:46,052 --> 01:52:48,554
Extra life, long story.
Sorry I shot you.
1446
01:52:50,890 --> 01:52:52,350
Sho?
1447
01:52:52,516 --> 01:52:54,894
What? Do I have to wear a sign saying,
1448
01:52:55,061 --> 01:52:58,022
"I am 11 years old, shoot me first"?
No, thanks.
1449
01:52:58,189 --> 01:53:00,358
- Dude, give me a hug.
- Ninjas don't hug!
1450
01:53:00,441 --> 01:53:01,943
All right, everybody, hold on to somethin'.
1451
01:53:23,839 --> 01:53:25,132
Got you.
1452
01:53:28,886 --> 01:53:30,596
Come on, Nolan. Pick up.
1453
01:53:32,807 --> 01:53:35,351
F'Nale, tell me something good.
1454
01:53:35,643 --> 01:53:38,020
I've got a drone on their tail.
I'm close.
1455
01:53:38,187 --> 01:53:39,230
Send me coordinates.
1456
01:53:39,397 --> 01:53:41,607
Maybe you should leave this to me, Nolan.
1457
01:53:43,484 --> 01:53:46,070
Nolan? Nolan.
1458
01:53:47,530 --> 01:53:48,656
Out.
1459
01:53:57,623 --> 01:54:00,084
Give me that.
1460
01:54:03,796 --> 01:54:05,506
What's goin' on out there?
1461
01:54:09,885 --> 01:54:12,346
The game is over for them.
What are they watching?
1462
01:54:14,849 --> 01:54:17,143
The final key! It's being broadcast.
1463
01:54:19,228 --> 01:54:20,730
You see,
1464
01:54:20,896 --> 01:54:23,441
Warren Robinett was proud of Adventure.
1465
01:54:23,607 --> 01:54:25,818
He wanted people to know who was behind it.
1466
01:54:26,694 --> 01:54:29,238
That's why he created
the first digital Easter egg
1467
01:54:29,405 --> 01:54:31,949
and to find it,
you didn't even have to win.
1468
01:54:32,116 --> 01:54:36,120
You just had to blindly play,
searching around
1469
01:54:36,287 --> 01:54:39,373
in rooms for an invisible dot.
1470
01:54:40,416 --> 01:54:42,835
You took the dot back to the main screen
1471
01:54:43,002 --> 01:54:47,465
and that's when you found the first
Easter egg ever put in a video game.
1472
01:54:47,631 --> 01:54:48,883
The creator's name.
1473
01:55:13,574 --> 01:55:15,367
What's going on, man?
I can't see shit.
1474
01:55:15,659 --> 01:55:17,036
Parzival just got the Crystal Key!
1475
01:55:32,343 --> 01:55:34,053
Do you want it or not?
1476
01:55:37,389 --> 01:55:39,183
Aech, what the hell's going on?
1477
01:55:39,475 --> 01:55:41,310
Just practicing my Mario Kart.
What do you think?
1478
01:55:41,477 --> 01:55:43,521
IOI's trying to kill us, man!
1479
01:55:57,785 --> 01:55:59,954
Everyone watching,
if you're in the Columbus stacks,
1480
01:56:00,121 --> 01:56:01,413
this is Parzival.
1481
01:56:01,580 --> 01:56:04,208
My real-world name is Wade Watts,
and we're gonna need your help.
1482
01:56:04,375 --> 01:56:05,793
Aech, head for the stacks!
1483
01:56:05,960 --> 01:56:07,586
Okay, hold on!
1484
01:56:32,862 --> 01:56:34,822
Stick the key in, how hard is it?
1485
01:56:40,536 --> 01:56:41,704
Come on.
1486
01:56:49,170 --> 01:56:51,172
Yeah! Yes!
1487
01:57:07,396 --> 01:57:08,606
That's it?
1488
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:10,482
Yeah, that's it.
1489
01:57:10,649 --> 01:57:15,654
Now, you just sign these papers,
and the OASIS is yours.
1490
01:57:15,821 --> 01:57:19,950
You will be its sole proprietor.
1491
01:57:20,117 --> 01:57:21,577
That ain't so bad, is it?
1492
01:57:43,432 --> 01:57:44,475
I'm gonna need a second.
1493
01:58:13,170 --> 01:58:15,172
This is wrong.
1494
01:58:15,798 --> 01:58:18,676
This pen, this contract.
1495
01:58:21,929 --> 01:58:23,514
This is the moment that Halliday made Morrow
1496
01:58:23,681 --> 01:58:25,557
sign over his shares in Gregarious.
1497
01:58:26,267 --> 01:58:28,352
That was the biggest mistake of his life.
1498
01:58:28,936 --> 01:58:31,063
He knew that.
1499
01:58:32,815 --> 01:58:34,858
This can't be the end.
1500
01:58:36,068 --> 01:58:37,778
It's a test.
1501
01:58:42,324 --> 01:58:44,994
I won't make the same mistake you did.
1502
01:58:50,708 --> 01:58:52,584
Oh, good.
1503
01:58:55,296 --> 01:58:58,716
I just needed to be sure.
1504
01:59:12,730 --> 01:59:14,940
This is where you grew up.
1505
01:59:24,199 --> 01:59:26,577
Oh, that's just me a long time ago.
1506
01:59:27,161 --> 01:59:29,872
I like to have him around
from time to time.
1507
01:59:30,748 --> 01:59:32,374
Hey, I have to show you something.
1508
01:59:33,042 --> 01:59:34,585
This... Come on.
1509
01:59:34,752 --> 01:59:36,420
This is the button.
1510
01:59:36,587 --> 01:59:39,715
If you push it, the whole
simulation shuts down
1511
01:59:39,882 --> 01:59:43,344
and a tapeworm program will erase
all of the backup servers.
1512
01:59:43,510 --> 01:59:46,764
So you now have the power
to turn the OASIS off forever.
1513
01:59:47,264 --> 01:59:48,849
Do you understand?
1514
01:59:54,271 --> 01:59:55,272
Yeah,
1515
01:59:55,439 --> 01:59:57,232
try not to accidentally erase
1516
01:59:57,399 --> 02:00:00,069
the whole of the OASIS on your first day.
1517
02:00:09,453 --> 02:00:11,163
The stacks are straight ahead!
1518
02:00:26,970 --> 02:00:29,765
Well, I expect you have to go.
I know I do.
1519
02:00:29,932 --> 02:00:32,309
So, now is the time for you
to receive your prize
1520
02:00:32,476 --> 02:00:34,853
because you won all three keys.
1521
02:00:35,020 --> 02:00:39,024
Once you take this egg,
the game will be over.
1522
02:00:39,733 --> 02:00:42,778
The egg, the egg...
1523
02:00:50,244 --> 02:00:52,496
We know what you did here.
1524
02:00:52,663 --> 02:00:55,958
You turn around and
walk out of here while you still can.
1525
02:01:08,595 --> 02:01:10,973
I created the OASIS
1526
02:01:11,140 --> 02:01:14,810
because I never felt
at home in the real world.
1527
02:01:15,894 --> 02:01:19,189
I just didn't know how to connect
with the people there.
1528
02:01:20,357 --> 02:01:23,235
I was afraid for all of my life.
1529
02:01:23,861 --> 02:01:26,613
Right up until the day
I knew my life was ending.
1530
02:01:32,244 --> 02:01:36,081
Now, that... That was when I realized that,
1531
02:01:37,249 --> 02:01:42,337
as terrifying and painful
as reality can be,
1532
02:01:43,213 --> 02:01:47,217
it's also the only place
1533
02:01:48,886 --> 02:01:50,512
that you can get a decent meal.
1534
02:01:57,186 --> 02:01:58,687
Because
1535
02:02:00,439 --> 02:02:02,024
reality
1536
02:02:07,196 --> 02:02:08,697
is real.
1537
02:02:08,864 --> 02:02:10,574
You understand what I'm saying?
1538
02:02:12,409 --> 02:02:15,037
Yes. Yes, I do.
1539
02:02:24,838 --> 02:02:26,089
He did it.
1540
02:02:27,799 --> 02:02:29,259
He got the egg.
1541
02:02:30,093 --> 02:02:31,345
Hooray.
1542
02:02:32,513 --> 02:02:34,139
- No!
- No! Please!
1543
02:03:07,714 --> 02:03:08,966
Hold it!
1544
02:03:11,051 --> 02:03:14,054
Drop the gun! Now! On the ground!
1545
02:03:14,805 --> 02:03:17,391
Turn around! Hands on your head.
1546
02:03:17,558 --> 02:03:19,101
Walk back towards me.
1547
02:03:34,825 --> 02:03:39,246
Mr. Halliday.
Something I don't understand.
1548
02:03:40,080 --> 02:03:42,791
You're not an avatar, are you?
1549
02:03:43,417 --> 02:03:45,043
No.
1550
02:03:46,587 --> 02:03:48,589
Is Halliday really dead?
1551
02:03:50,257 --> 02:03:51,842
Yes.
1552
02:03:57,598 --> 02:03:59,349
Then what are you?
1553
02:04:02,603 --> 02:04:04,563
Goodbye, Parzival.
1554
02:04:06,231 --> 02:04:07,316
Thanks.
1555
02:04:08,859 --> 02:04:11,069
Thanks for playing my game.
1556
02:04:40,098 --> 02:04:41,391
Wade?
1557
02:04:42,809 --> 02:04:44,561
- Ogden Morrow?
- Ogden Morrow?
1558
02:04:44,728 --> 02:04:46,355
You can call me "Og."
1559
02:04:46,521 --> 02:04:49,274
Now, there are some people out here
that would very much like to meet you.
1560
02:04:49,858 --> 02:04:52,527
Wow, this is incredible.
1561
02:04:53,111 --> 02:04:55,864
It's an honor to meet you, Og, but I...
1562
02:05:00,077 --> 02:05:01,745
There's something I need to do first.
1563
02:05:05,666 --> 02:05:07,417
I'm not like Halliday.
1564
02:05:11,171 --> 02:05:13,215
I'm taking the leap.
1565
02:05:29,690 --> 02:05:30,899
We're looking for Wade Watts.
1566
02:05:32,818 --> 02:05:34,903
We need you to make a statement
about the clip you sent in
1567
02:05:35,070 --> 02:05:36,988
of Nolan Sorrento's confession.
1568
02:05:37,280 --> 02:05:39,366
Uh, that was me.
1569
02:05:40,033 --> 02:05:42,577
What? I record everything in my workshop.
1570
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:50,877
Help me out of this.
1571
02:05:57,217 --> 02:05:58,510
Who are you guys?
1572
02:05:59,511 --> 02:06:03,807
The people you need right now, lawyers.
From Gregarious Games.
1573
02:06:06,643 --> 02:06:08,270
They want your signature, Wade.
1574
02:06:16,236 --> 02:06:18,321
I'm splitting it with my clan.
1575
02:06:18,488 --> 02:06:20,282
We're gonna run things together.
1576
02:06:24,828 --> 02:06:26,872
That's a good choice.
1577
02:06:54,816 --> 02:06:57,861
F'Nale, listen to me very carefully.
1578
02:07:07,078 --> 02:07:09,831
Mr. Morrow... I mean, Og,
1579
02:07:09,998 --> 02:07:11,291
how'd you get here so fast?
1580
02:07:11,458 --> 02:07:13,627
I flew from the stars on my magic sleigh.
1581
02:07:14,211 --> 02:07:16,630
Everyone's been watching.
1582
02:07:16,797 --> 02:07:20,008
Of course, I've been watching
a little closer than most.
1583
02:07:24,054 --> 02:07:25,472
You?
1584
02:07:25,972 --> 02:07:27,182
You're the Curator?
1585
02:07:30,936 --> 02:07:33,146
Well played, Parzival.
1586
02:07:34,397 --> 02:07:36,274
Jim told me nothing about the contest,
1587
02:07:36,441 --> 02:07:39,653
so there was no rule about me
losing a bet to a smart kid.
1588
02:07:39,820 --> 02:07:41,488
Not that you needed my help.
1589
02:07:42,447 --> 02:07:46,409
You figured out that Kira
was the key on your own.
1590
02:07:46,785 --> 02:07:49,412
Yeah, but... Kira wasn't the key.
1591
02:07:50,747 --> 02:07:52,624
It was you, Mr. Morrow.
1592
02:07:54,751 --> 02:07:56,419
You were the Rosebud.
1593
02:07:56,586 --> 02:07:58,797
And Halliday's biggest regret was
1594
02:08:00,507 --> 02:08:02,092
losing his only friend.
1595
02:08:06,346 --> 02:08:08,515
You know, Jim used to say the OASIS
1596
02:08:08,682 --> 02:08:11,142
was never supposed to be a one-player game.
1597
02:08:14,855 --> 02:08:17,482
Now, who do we have here?
1598
02:08:17,649 --> 02:08:20,151
Oh. Well, look who it is.
1599
02:08:20,318 --> 02:08:21,903
It's my heroes, the High Five.
1600
02:08:22,070 --> 02:08:23,572
- You must be Art3mis.
- Samantha.
1601
02:08:23,738 --> 02:08:25,532
The High Five took over the OASIS,
1602
02:08:25,699 --> 02:08:27,158
and the first thing we did
1603
02:08:27,325 --> 02:08:30,662
was sign Ogden Morrow
to a non-exclusive consultancy.
1604
02:08:30,829 --> 02:08:33,665
The salary, per his demand,
1605
02:08:33,832 --> 02:08:36,918
was 25 cents. One quarter.
1606
02:08:40,297 --> 02:08:42,549
With his guidance,
our second move was to ban
1607
02:08:42,716 --> 02:08:45,385
any loyalty centers
from accessing the OASIS.
1608
02:08:46,177 --> 02:08:49,598
IOI had no choice.
They shut 'em all down.
1609
02:08:52,392 --> 02:08:54,853
The third thing we did wasn't as popular.
1610
02:08:55,395 --> 02:08:58,523
We closed the OASIS
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
1611
02:08:59,399 --> 02:09:01,735
I know, it sounds like a weird move,
1612
02:09:01,902 --> 02:09:04,779
but people need to spend
more time in the real world.
1613
02:09:06,448 --> 02:09:09,367
'Cause, like Halliday said,
1614
02:09:09,534 --> 02:09:13,872
reality is the only thing that's real.
