1
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:22,370
Get ready for the
feel, the feel of real. X1.

2
00:01:22,370 --> 00:01:23,940
No pain, no gain.

3
00:01:46,030 --> 00:01:47,430
Pizza, guys.

4
00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:54,570
Whoo-hoo!

5
00:02:09,020 --> 00:02:10,550
Hello, Wade.

6
00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:12,290
Hello, Mrs. Gilmore.

7
00:02:12,290 --> 00:02:14,920
What's the matter? Life getting you down?

8
00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:22,390
I was born in 2027.

9
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,000
After the Corn Syrup Droughts,
after the Bandwidth Riots.

10
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,400
After people stopped trying
to fix problems

11
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,640
and just tried to outlive them.

12
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,740
My parents, they didn't make
it through those times,

13
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:43,710
so I live here in Columbus,
Ohio, with my Aunt Alice.

14
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:49,050
In 2045, Columbus is the
fastest-growing city on Earth.

15
00:02:49,060 --> 00:02:52,330
It's where Halliday and Morrow
started Gregarious Games.

16
00:02:57,060 --> 00:02:59,660
These days, reality is a bummer.

17
00:02:59,660 --> 00:03:01,630
Everyone is looking for a way to escape,

18
00:03:01,630 --> 00:03:02,960
and that's why Halliday...

19
00:03:02,970 --> 00:03:06,000
That's why he was such a hero to us.

20
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,510
He showed us that we could go somewhere
without going anywhere at all.

21
00:03:11,510 --> 00:03:13,080
You don't need a destination

22
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,010
when you're running on
an omnidirectional treadmill

23
00:03:15,010 --> 00:03:17,280
with quadraphonic,
pressure-sensitive underlay.

24
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,680
James Halliday saw the future.

25
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,420
And then he built it.

26
00:03:22,420 --> 00:03:24,590
He gave us a place to go.

27
00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:26,920
A place called

28
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:28,290
the OASIS.

29
00:03:41,470 --> 00:03:43,870
This is the OASIS.

30
00:03:43,870 --> 00:03:47,980
It's a place where the limits of
reality are your own imagination.

31
00:04:01,460 --> 00:04:03,530
You can do anything...

32
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,560
...go anywhere.

33
00:04:06,990 --> 00:04:08,860
Like the vacation planet.

34
00:04:08,860 --> 00:04:11,660
Surf a 50-foot monster wave in Hawaii.

35
00:04:11,660 --> 00:04:14,570
You can ski down the pyramids.

36
00:04:14,570 --> 00:04:16,470
You can climb Mount Everest

37
00:04:16,470 --> 00:04:17,910
with Batman.

38
00:04:20,670 --> 00:04:24,110
Check out this place. It's a
casino the size of a planet.

39
00:04:24,110 --> 00:04:25,980
You can lose your money there.

40
00:04:25,980 --> 00:04:28,180
You can get married. You can get divorced.

41
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:32,020
You can... You can go in there.

42
00:04:32,020 --> 00:04:35,120
People come to the OASIS for
all the things they can do,

43
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,420
but they stay because of all
the things they can be.

44
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:43,760
Tall, beautiful, scary, a different sex,

45
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,000
a different species, live-action, cartoon.

46
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,600
It's all your call.

47
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,940
Yeah, that's me. Well, that's my avatar.

48
00:04:52,940 --> 00:04:56,910
At least, until I feel like changing it.

49
00:04:56,910 --> 00:04:59,140
Except for eating, sleeping,
and bathroom breaks,

50
00:04:59,140 --> 00:05:03,210
whatever people wanna do,
they do it in the OASIS.

51
00:05:03,210 --> 00:05:06,220
And since everyone is here, this
is where we meet each other.

52
00:05:06,220 --> 00:05:07,750
It's where we make friends.

53
00:05:07,750 --> 00:05:10,080
Locate Aech.

54
00:05:10,090 --> 00:05:12,160
Locating Aech.

55
00:05:15,230 --> 00:05:17,090
Aech located.

56
00:05:17,090 --> 00:05:20,590
Sector 12. Planet Doom.

57
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,930
Planet Doom, the most dangerous place
in the OASIS,

58
00:05:23,930 --> 00:05:27,030
and a pretty great place to pick up coin.

59
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,570
Figures Aech would be there.

60
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,710
Aech is my best friend in the OASIS.

61
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:37,180
He's my best friend, period.

62
00:05:37,180 --> 00:05:40,020
Even though I've never actually met him
in the real world.

63
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,250
- What's up, Aech?
- Hey, what up, Z?

64
00:05:46,250 --> 00:05:48,890
Next race is in 20 minutes,
and I can't do the late one.

65
00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:50,590
What the hell are you up to?

66
00:05:50,590 --> 00:05:53,230
Man, gettin' my kills on, bro.

67
00:05:53,230 --> 00:05:54,260
Is that Daito?

68
00:05:54,260 --> 00:05:56,000
Daito and Sho.

69
00:06:02,270 --> 00:06:03,930
This an artifact hunt?

70
00:06:03,940 --> 00:06:06,240
Yup. Gregarious 120.

71
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,810
Turn into any giant robot
for two minutes. That's rad.

72
00:06:10,810 --> 00:06:12,110
Artifacts.

73
00:06:12,910 --> 00:06:15,780
Those were key.

74
00:06:15,780 --> 00:06:17,950
Halliday made sure the OASIS was littered

75
00:06:17,950 --> 00:06:20,650
with enough randomly powerful stuff

76
00:06:20,650 --> 00:06:25,020
that anyone could win
if they had the skills.

77
00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:27,860
Death matches and artifact hunts
are a good way to coin-snatch,

78
00:06:27,860 --> 00:06:30,630
but depending on your level of armor,
they're risky.

79
00:06:32,130 --> 00:06:34,260
You see, everyone starts the same,

80
00:06:34,270 --> 00:06:35,930
but the more coin you make...

81
00:06:35,930 --> 00:06:38,100
- Mom! Mom!
- ...the more you level up.

82
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:40,000
If you get killed, your avatar
can come back to life...

83
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,300
Go get your dad!

84
00:06:41,310 --> 00:06:42,780
...but you lose all your stuff.

85
00:06:44,770 --> 00:06:46,540
Everything you've ever worked for.

86
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:48,940
All your money.

87
00:06:50,980 --> 00:06:52,310
Your clothes.

88
00:06:54,050 --> 00:06:56,120
Your weapons.

89
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,720
Since people spend most of their time
in the OASIS...

90
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,190
...losing your shit means...

91
00:07:03,190 --> 00:07:06,030
Well, losing your shit.

92
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,830
Aech, 10 minutes until the race starts.

93
00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:13,030
Okay, Mom, I heard you.

94
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,170
You see, the OASIS was the brainchild
of James Halliday.

95
00:07:17,170 --> 00:07:22,070
He and his partner, Ogden Morrow,
released the first OASIS build in 2025.

96
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,350
It was an instant success, and
it made them both very rich.

97
00:07:26,350 --> 00:07:29,980
But Morrow was out of the picture
after a few years. And Halliday?

98
00:07:29,980 --> 00:07:33,320
He wasn't just the owner
of the world's biggest company.

99
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,260
He was like a god. People loved him.

100
00:07:37,260 --> 00:07:39,220
They worshiped him as much as his creation.

101
00:07:39,230 --> 00:07:42,260
Maybe we should stop talking about it

102
00:07:42,260 --> 00:07:44,760
and start, uh, showing it.

103
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,070
If you all wanna reach under your seats,

104
00:07:47,070 --> 00:07:49,200
you'll find that there's nothing there.

105
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,610
But we're gonna... we're each
gonna bring you one now.

106
00:07:53,610 --> 00:07:57,740
And then, on January 7, 2040...

107
00:08:00,380 --> 00:08:01,580
He died.

108
00:08:04,620 --> 00:08:06,540
And what he left behind

109
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:09,060
changed everything.

110
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:16,320
FarangSiam thanks you.
Enjoy!

111
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:26,330
Hello. I am James Halliday.

112
00:08:26,340 --> 00:08:29,970
If you're watching this, I'm dead.

113
00:08:29,970 --> 00:08:35,510
Before I died, I created what we
in the biz call an "Easter Egg".

114
00:08:37,210 --> 00:08:42,760
A hidden object in a game that gives
special powers to whoever discovers it.

115
00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:48,120
The first person to find the Egg

116
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,160
I've hidden somewhere inside the OASIS

117
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,900
will inherit my stock in Gregarious Games,

118
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,970
currently valued in excess
of half a million do...

119
00:08:59,270 --> 00:09:02,270
Uh, half a trillion dollars' worth,

120
00:09:02,270 --> 00:09:07,840
and total control of the OASIS itself.

121
00:09:08,740 --> 00:09:14,250
In the form of my avatar,
Anorak the All-Knowing,

122
00:09:14,450 --> 00:09:18,120
I created three keys.

123
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,560
Three hidden challenges
test for worthy traits

124
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:26,100
revealing three hidden keys
to three magic gates.

125
00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:30,270
And those with the skill
to survive these straits

126
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:35,080
will reach the end,
where the prize awaits.

127
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,580
Off you go, keys.

128
00:09:39,710 --> 00:09:44,720
The keys aren't just laying
around under a rock somewhere.

129
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,650
I suppose you could say they're invisible,

130
00:09:47,650 --> 00:09:51,390
hidden in a dark room
that's at the center of a maze

131
00:09:51,390 --> 00:09:54,300
that's located somewhere

132
00:09:55,290 --> 00:09:57,730
up here.

133
00:09:57,730 --> 00:10:01,570
Let the hunt for Halliday's Easter Egg

134
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,730
begin.

135
00:10:09,780 --> 00:10:12,410
The challenge is to find three keys,

136
00:10:12,410 --> 00:10:16,010
but in five years,
no one has even gotten one key.

137
00:10:16,010 --> 00:10:19,020
And the big scoreboard? Still empty.

138
00:10:19,020 --> 00:10:20,750
Some long-forgotten gunter
cracked the first clue

139
00:10:20,750 --> 00:10:22,620
and found the first challenge.

140
00:10:22,620 --> 00:10:25,520
Then, this portal appeared.

141
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,980
But the challenge to win the first key
was a race designed by Halliday

142
00:10:28,990 --> 00:10:31,990
that was so hard,
no one had ever finished it.

143
00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:35,690
The only ones still trying are the gunters,
as in "Egg hunters,"

144
00:10:35,690 --> 00:10:39,260
like me and Sho and Daito,
and my best friend, Aech.

145
00:10:39,260 --> 00:10:42,860
Oh, and of course, the Sixers.

146
00:10:42,860 --> 00:10:44,030
The Sixers work for IOI...

147
00:10:44,030 --> 00:10:45,830
Sixers!

148
00:10:45,830 --> 00:10:47,570
...Innovative Online Industries.

149
00:10:47,570 --> 00:10:49,040
They're the second-largest company
in the world

150
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,270
with designs on becoming the first.

151
00:10:51,270 --> 00:10:53,040
Which is why they're putting
everything they got

152
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,570
into winning Halliday's contest.

153
00:10:54,580 --> 00:10:56,210
Buckle up!

154
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,280
Sit in!

155
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,950
We call 'em "Sixers"
'cause that's the company rule.

156
00:11:01,950 --> 00:11:05,020
No name, just numbers.

157
00:11:05,020 --> 00:11:08,050
They have a support team
made up of Halliday scholars.

158
00:11:08,060 --> 00:11:10,760
Like me, they spend all their time
studying pop culture

159
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,420
that Halliday was obsessed with,

160
00:11:12,430 --> 00:11:14,360
trying to find clues to solve the contest.

161
00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:19,960
They're just following
the orders of the head of IOI,

162
00:11:19,970 --> 00:11:22,840
this dickweed named Nolan Sorrento.

163
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,710
How'd you get here before me?

164
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:32,940
Well, I didn't make a pit stop
at the hair salon.

165
00:11:32,940 --> 00:11:35,640
- What up, Z?
- What's up, Aech?

166
00:11:35,650 --> 00:11:36,950
Saved you a spot.

167
00:11:36,950 --> 00:11:38,310
Thanks, bro.

168
00:11:42,490 --> 00:11:44,050
I gotta go to the back.

169
00:11:44,060 --> 00:11:46,720
Ugh. So you can skim coins
from crashed cars?

170
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,490
- That's just sad, man.
- Fuel's low.

171
00:11:49,490 --> 00:11:53,100
Oh, but you still had enough to pay
for that "Something About Mary" hairdo.

172
00:12:34,540 --> 00:12:35,630
First to the key.

173
00:12:36,940 --> 00:12:38,100
First to the Egg!

174
00:13:27,490 --> 00:13:29,360
Aech, are you seeing this?

175
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,590
Yeah, I see it.
That's Kaneda's bike from "Akira".

176
00:13:34,590 --> 00:13:36,830
It's a licensed skin
over a standard frame.

177
00:13:36,830 --> 00:13:39,690
No, not the bike. Forget the bike.

178
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:41,530
The girl, I think it's Art3mis.

179
00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:43,830
The Art3mis? The Sixer Fixer?

180
00:13:43,830 --> 00:13:46,770
I've seen all her walk-throughs,
her Twitch streams.

181
00:13:46,770 --> 00:13:48,670
It's her. It's definitely her.

182
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,880
Go, go, go! Get there! Come on!

183
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:44,870
You got it, you got it!

184
00:15:54,290 --> 00:15:55,660
Balls.

185
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,160
She's not gonna make it.

186
00:16:05,170 --> 00:16:07,000
Bail! Bail out!

187
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Bail!

188
00:16:14,210 --> 00:16:15,840
Ow!

189
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,940
Damn, I loved that bike.

190
00:16:47,940 --> 00:16:49,610
Oh, Aech could...

191
00:16:49,610 --> 00:16:51,840
Well, he's my friend,
but he could fix it for you.

192
00:16:59,250 --> 00:17:02,020
This is my workshop. Touch nothing.

193
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:10,690
Where did you find an Iron Giant?

194
00:17:10,690 --> 00:17:13,360
Find it? I'm building it.
That's a commission.

195
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:16,330
Oh, yeah.
Aech is top-rated on the mod boards.

196
00:17:16,330 --> 00:17:19,370
People all over the OASIS
pay him serious coin.

197
00:17:19,370 --> 00:17:21,740
Oh, hey, check this out!

198
00:17:21,740 --> 00:17:24,740
Hey. Z, yo.

199
00:17:24,740 --> 00:17:27,210
- The "Galactica", of course.
- These are my babies, all right, man?

200
00:17:27,210 --> 00:17:28,980
"Sulaco", from "Aliens".

201
00:17:28,980 --> 00:17:31,380
Dude, how are you showing off my shit?

202
00:17:31,380 --> 00:17:33,150
"Valley Forge", from "Silent Running".
Oh, where's the Harkonnen Drop-Ship?

203
00:17:33,150 --> 00:17:35,710
That thing is sick.
Folds space like a boss.

204
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,780
I mean, you can get from Incipio
to Arrakis in three seconds...

205
00:17:37,790 --> 00:17:39,350
Fingers!

206
00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:40,990
You'll have to excuse him.

207
00:17:40,990 --> 00:17:43,120
He gets a little nervous
around pretty girls.

208
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:52,670
I can fix it in 10 minutes.

209
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:56,670
Yup. He's pretty great.

210
00:17:56,670 --> 00:17:59,740
I assume you and Shoulder
Blades are clanned up.

211
00:17:59,740 --> 00:18:02,010
Oh, Aech? Nah.

212
00:18:02,010 --> 00:18:06,980
I mean, he's really good,
but I don't clan.

213
00:18:06,980 --> 00:18:09,680
Oh, 'cause you're Parzival,

214
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,250
as in the knight who found
the Holy Grail by himself.

215
00:18:12,250 --> 00:18:14,250
What about you, Art3mis?

216
00:18:14,250 --> 00:18:17,190
Goddess of the hunt. Clans must
be killing to sign you up.

217
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:20,790
- Favorite shooter?
- Excuse me?

218
00:18:20,790 --> 00:18:22,760
James Halliday's
favorite first-person shooter.

219
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,330
- What?
- Oh. <i>GoldenEye.</i>

220
00:18:24,330 --> 00:18:26,700
- Playing as?
- Oddjob. Is this a test?

221
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:28,430
Favorite game variant?

222
00:18:28,430 --> 00:18:30,030
Game variant was "slappers only".
No weapons.

223
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,700
I know what "slappers only" means. Racer?

224
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:34,000
"Turbo".
And his favorite food was Hot Pockets.

225
00:18:34,010 --> 00:18:35,970
Favorite restaurant was Chuck E Cheese.

226
00:18:35,970 --> 00:18:38,310
Song was "Video Killed the Radio Star"
by the Buggles.

227
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:40,210
Video was "Take on Me" by A-ha.

228
00:18:40,210 --> 00:18:44,810
Oh, oh...
His favorite quote was from "Superman".

229
00:18:44,820 --> 00:18:46,780
"Some people can read "War and Peace""

230
00:18:46,780 --> 00:18:48,980
"and come away thinking
it's a simple adventure story..."

231
00:18:48,990 --> 00:18:51,450
"Others can read the ingredients
on the back of a chewing-gum wrapper"

232
00:18:51,460 --> 00:18:54,320
"and unlock the secrets of the universe."

233
00:18:54,330 --> 00:18:56,960
Lex Luthor.

234
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,430
Cool.

235
00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:03,360
What would you do? If you won.
The whole contest, I mean.

236
00:19:03,370 --> 00:19:06,470
Oh! I mean, I've got tons of plans
in the real world.

237
00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:11,410
I'd... I'd move into a huge mansion,
buy a bunch of cool shit, not be poor.

238
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,380
Now I know why you stopped short.

239
00:19:16,380 --> 00:19:19,350
I stopped because of Kong.
No one ever makes it past Kong.

240
00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:21,810
That... That's... That's, like, a rule.

241
00:19:21,820 --> 00:19:25,150
Well, then you know it can't be true.
Because Halliday hated making rules.

242
00:19:25,150 --> 00:19:26,890
I can't afford to zero out.

243
00:19:26,890 --> 00:19:28,490
- You're afraid to lose your shit.
- No, I'm not!

244
00:19:28,490 --> 00:19:30,260
What happens when IOI
offers you guaranteed coin

245
00:19:30,260 --> 00:19:31,460
for the keys to the kingdom?

246
00:19:31,460 --> 00:19:33,990
Nolan Sorrento takes over the world.

247
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,330
A real gunter would risk everything
to save the OASIS from IOI.

248
00:19:38,330 --> 00:19:39,830
Who said that?

249
00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:41,240
Me.

250
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:45,400
There you go. Good as new.

251
00:19:45,410 --> 00:19:47,880
Thanks for the fix-up, my man.

252
00:19:57,420 --> 00:19:59,520
That's better.

253
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,490
I'll wave to you from the finish line,
McFly.

254
00:20:07,090 --> 00:20:08,390
That went well.

255
00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:10,290
Thanks to you, Captain Big Mouth.

256
00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:13,530
Wade? Wade? Where the hell are my gloves?

257
00:20:13,530 --> 00:20:15,500
Shit. I gotta go.

258
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,800
X1.

259
00:20:20,810 --> 00:20:23,570
When I'm after gold on Planet Doom,
I need every edge I can get.

260
00:20:23,580 --> 00:20:27,510
Every push, punch, gunshot,
you feel it all.

261
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,050
Get ready for the feel,
the feel of real. X1.

262
00:20:32,050 --> 00:20:34,380
The X1 is like wearing a second skin.

263
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:36,320
A skin that kicks ass.

264
00:20:38,090 --> 00:20:40,990
I zeroed out 'cause
of your broke-ass gloves.

265
00:20:40,990 --> 00:20:42,420
Who told you to use them?

266
00:20:42,430 --> 00:20:44,500
You took hers.

267
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,590
So you lost a death match.

268
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,500
Why don't you just respawn and
level up like everyone else?

269
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:53,470
You don't get it.

270
00:20:53,470 --> 00:20:55,900
I bought all these power-ups
for this challenge, and I lost it all.

271
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:57,570
That artifact was gonna pay for the house!

272
00:20:57,570 --> 00:20:59,440
Wait.

273
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,440
How much of our house money
did you spend on upgrades?

274
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,310
Well, all of it, but I was gonna win.

275
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,180
That was our ticket out of here.

276
00:21:11,620 --> 00:21:13,350
You idiot.

277
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:15,350
No, but I only lost 'cause
of the bad gloves.

278
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:17,120
Our house! Our goddamn house!

279
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:18,620
My boys were in that challenge.

280
00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:21,130
You couldn't have beat them
in a bootsuit, you noob.

281
00:21:21,130 --> 00:21:24,300
Stop! No! No!

282
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:25,600
Alice, call the police!

283
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,270
No, we are not calling the cops.

284
00:21:27,270 --> 00:21:29,130
Go to your room, Rick.

285
00:21:29,140 --> 00:21:31,470
Aw, come on, Alice.

286
00:21:31,470 --> 00:21:35,470
Why do you put up with this guy?
He's a shitshow.

287
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,040
I ought to kick the both of you out.
I swear to G-O-D, Wade Watts,

288
00:21:40,050 --> 00:21:42,610
if I catch you touching my stuff again,

289
00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:45,350
not joking... Out.

290
00:21:52,290 --> 00:21:54,630
"Wade Watts."

291
00:21:54,630 --> 00:21:56,390
My dad picked that name

292
00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:58,630
because it sounded
like a superhero's alter ego,

293
00:21:58,630 --> 00:22:02,300
like Peter Parker or Bruce Banner.

294
00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:04,370
But he died when I was a kid.

295
00:22:04,370 --> 00:22:07,570
My mom, too, and I ended up here,

296
00:22:07,570 --> 00:22:09,470
living with Aunt Alice

297
00:22:09,470 --> 00:22:11,840
and her endless string
of hard-loving losers.

298
00:22:14,510 --> 00:22:17,580
"Halliday hated making rules".

299
00:22:17,580 --> 00:22:20,190
Why is that line sticking in my head?

300
00:22:22,550 --> 00:22:26,090
Maybe it's 'cause Art3mis said it,
and she's hot.

301
00:22:26,090 --> 00:22:28,360
Maybe it's because she called me out,

302
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:31,530
sitting here in my tiny corner of nowhere,

303
00:22:31,530 --> 00:22:34,260
protecting my small slice of nothing.

304
00:22:34,260 --> 00:22:36,530
Or maybe...

305
00:22:36,530 --> 00:22:39,030
Maybe it's because
that line means something

306
00:22:39,030 --> 00:22:40,530
and I missed it.

307
00:22:43,540 --> 00:22:45,110
The day the contest was announced,

308
00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:47,440
the Halliday Journals appeared.

309
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,610
He told us to look in his brain.
This was the next best thing.

310
00:22:50,610 --> 00:22:54,110
At first, it was jammed
with gunters looking for answers.

311
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:56,550
Now, the once-crowded halls
of Halliday's memories

312
00:22:56,550 --> 00:22:58,020
are left to people like me.

313
00:22:58,020 --> 00:23:00,590
Parzival. Oh, joy!

314
00:23:00,590 --> 00:23:04,290
And how will you eat up
my valuable search time today?

315
00:23:04,290 --> 00:23:06,460
Gregarious Games, 2029... Office party.

316
00:23:06,460 --> 00:23:09,630
Office party. Yes, you've only
seen it a thousand times.

317
00:23:09,630 --> 00:23:12,400
Why not go back?

318
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,100
Each entry into Halliday's
Journals is meticulously assembled

319
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:18,600
from personal photographs,
home video recordings,

320
00:23:18,610 --> 00:23:20,540
surveillance, and nanny cams.

321
00:23:20,540 --> 00:23:24,380
All rendered into a three-dimensional
virtual experience.

322
00:23:24,380 --> 00:23:28,050
Also, Halliday archived every film,
game, book, and television program

323
00:23:28,050 --> 00:23:31,380
he ever saw, located on the mezzanine.

324
00:23:31,380 --> 00:23:34,750
No weapons or mature-themed avatars
are permitted within the Journals.

325
00:23:34,750 --> 00:23:38,760
Please enjoy your time with
us, and happy gunting!

326
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,590
I like cleaning up.

327
00:23:40,590 --> 00:23:42,960
Okay, Jim, I'm, uh... I'm going.

328
00:23:47,730 --> 00:23:50,700
Everything changes, Jim.
Everything evolves.

329
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:54,270
Some things are perfect
just the way they are. "Asteroids".

330
00:23:54,270 --> 00:23:58,280
People don't live inside
an "Asteroids" arcade cabinet.

331
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,510
I know that.

332
00:24:01,510 --> 00:24:03,750
Yeah, well, people are living
inside the arcade we built.

333
00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:05,710
- I built.
- Uh, well...

334
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,620
Right. Well, I guess you
can say whatever you want.

335
00:24:08,620 --> 00:24:10,150
I don't really wanna
talk about it anymore.

336
00:24:10,150 --> 00:24:11,320
No, of course
you don't wanna talk about it.

337
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,750
You're forcing me out.

338
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,290
Closer on Halliday.

339
00:24:14,290 --> 00:24:16,160
Look, invention
comes with responsibilities

340
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,330
you didn't ask for.

341
00:24:18,330 --> 00:24:20,530
All right, if you make
something people want or need

342
00:24:20,530 --> 00:24:23,330
then it's up to you to set the limits.
You have to make some rules.

343
00:24:23,330 --> 00:24:24,730
"I don't wanna make any more rules."

344
00:24:24,730 --> 00:24:26,770
I don't wanna make any more rules.

345
00:24:26,770 --> 00:24:28,200
"I'm a dreamer."

346
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,500
I'm a dreamer.

347
00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:32,440
- I build worlds.
- "I build worlds."

348
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,210
We created something beautiful,
Jim, but it's changed.

349
00:24:35,210 --> 00:24:36,640
Okay? It's really not a game anymore.

350
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,480
Are we finished?

351
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,750
I liked how things were when they were...

352
00:24:44,450 --> 00:24:46,620
When it was a game.

353
00:24:46,620 --> 00:24:49,390
And we're back to where we started.
But that's the point, isn't it?

354
00:24:49,390 --> 00:24:51,690
Things move forward
whether you like it or not.

355
00:24:51,690 --> 00:24:53,830
Yeah, we're finished.

356
00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:55,660
Fine.

357
00:24:57,700 --> 00:25:01,670
Why can't we go backwards, for once?

358
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,240
Backwards, really fast. Fast as we can.

359
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,340
Really put the pedal to
the metal, you know?

360
00:25:10,340 --> 00:25:12,840
Go back 10 seconds!

361
00:25:12,850 --> 00:25:17,680
Why can't we go backwards, for once?

362
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,090
Backwards, really fast. Fast as we can.

363
00:25:22,090 --> 00:25:24,620
Really put the pedal to
the metal, you know?

364
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:27,690
Bill and Ted did it.

365
00:25:48,810 --> 00:25:50,810
Back again so soon?

366
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:54,750
Careful not to lose your shit.

367
00:25:58,860 --> 00:26:01,220
You figured something out.

368
00:26:01,220 --> 00:26:03,390
Parzival, tell me.

369
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,360
Nice racing, Padawan.
You're the first to finish.

370
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:52,830
Mr. Halliday... Anorak.

371
00:27:54,230 --> 00:27:55,800
It's such an honor.

372
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,830
The honor is all mine.

373
00:28:08,980 --> 00:28:10,910
Get yourself a clue.

374
00:28:26,490 --> 00:28:28,890
Who is this Parzival, and
how the hell is he winning?

375
00:28:28,890 --> 00:28:31,730
Well, here's a better question. Who cares?

376
00:28:31,730 --> 00:28:33,830
Halliday's contest is vitally important.

377
00:28:33,830 --> 00:28:36,930
I mean, it's nothing less than a
war for control of the future.

378
00:28:36,940 --> 00:28:39,970
But this Parzival?
He's not even clanned up.

379
00:28:39,970 --> 00:28:43,510
He's alone. We have an army.

380
00:28:43,510 --> 00:28:45,040
And yet, he's got the first key.

381
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,910
Yeah, he has a key,

382
00:28:46,910 --> 00:28:49,910
but you have to get three
of 'em to win the contest.

383
00:28:49,910 --> 00:28:52,780
Our stock dove 6% yesterday.

384
00:28:52,790 --> 00:28:56,750
Loyalty division is reporting
profits of 28%. F'Nale.

385
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,590
We're opening five new
loyalty centers this month.

386
00:28:59,590 --> 00:29:01,620
Debt Services dwarfs Hardware.

387
00:29:01,630 --> 00:29:03,690
Now, you really wanna talk
to me about stock prices?

388
00:29:03,690 --> 00:29:05,730
The shareholders won't be happy.

389
00:29:05,730 --> 00:29:08,400
It's not our job to make them happy.
It's our job to make them money,

390
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,440
but once we launch this little
baby, they're gonna flip.

391
00:29:13,770 --> 00:29:16,970
We call this "Pure O2".

392
00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:18,870
This is the first of our planned upgrades.

393
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,480
Once we can roll back some of
Halliday's ad restrictions,

394
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,550
we estimate we can sell up to 80%

395
00:29:25,550 --> 00:29:30,950
of an individual's visual field before
inducing seizures, so picture this...

396
00:29:30,950 --> 00:29:33,960
All of this implies we win the contest.

397
00:29:36,930 --> 00:29:39,090
Indeed, it does.

398
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:43,660
Dude, you won the key and 100,000 coins?

399
00:29:43,670 --> 00:29:44,970
As soon as I took the key,

400
00:29:44,970 --> 00:29:47,070
all the coins just appeared in my account.

401
00:29:47,070 --> 00:29:49,150
I'll tell you what, I'm
soiling my haptics right now.

402
00:29:53,010 --> 00:29:54,810
What the hell's a Cataclyst?

403
00:29:54,810 --> 00:29:58,580
A bomb. Kills every avatar
on a planet, even the owner.

404
00:29:58,580 --> 00:29:59,810
Who'd want that?

405
00:29:59,810 --> 00:30:01,820
IOI. They buy everything.

406
00:30:02,980 --> 00:30:05,980
Twenty-thou for the holy hand grenade?

407
00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:07,660
That's a steal!

408
00:30:09,990 --> 00:30:13,830
Whoa! Zemeckis Cube! I need one of those.

409
00:30:13,830 --> 00:30:15,500
Okay, don't spend all your money.

410
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,470
X1 haptic bootsuit.

411
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,520
Oh, yeah!

412
00:31:30,570 --> 00:31:33,700
I-R0k, old friend. How are you?

413
00:31:35,940 --> 00:31:37,600
To be honest, I have kind of a neck thing.

414
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,570
It's like a carpel-tunnel deal

415
00:31:39,570 --> 00:31:41,440
but with your neck,
if that's even a thing.

416
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,080
So if you could just stand
to... to your right.

417
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,080
My right, your left.

418
00:31:47,220 --> 00:31:50,520
Thanks, it's the repetitive stress. Oh.

419
00:31:51,620 --> 00:31:52,720
Here he is.

420
00:31:54,850 --> 00:31:59,860
The steampunk pirate king.
I knew him well, Sorrento.

421
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:02,230
There are only three things
in this world I hate,

422
00:32:02,230 --> 00:32:06,200
steampunk, pirates, and tabbouleh.

423
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,030
I mean, why do they even have it?

424
00:32:09,030 --> 00:32:11,730
Is there a reason we're meeting here?

425
00:32:11,740 --> 00:32:16,970
Yes, Nolan. The Orb of Osuvox.

426
00:32:16,980 --> 00:32:20,080
You wanted it. He had it.
And so here it is.

427
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,080
It creates an impenetrable magic
shield that can only be taken down

428
00:32:28,090 --> 00:32:30,250
by a magic spell.

429
00:32:30,250 --> 00:32:32,890
The Orb of Osuvox.

430
00:32:32,890 --> 00:32:34,090
Don't say that again.

431
00:32:34,090 --> 00:32:35,130
Okay.

432
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,260
Now, I'm gonna need you
to keep this for now.

433
00:32:41,260 --> 00:32:43,500
I'm gonna let you know
when I wanna use it.

434
00:32:43,500 --> 00:32:44,500
Okay?

435
00:32:47,970 --> 00:32:52,010
Right now, though,
I have another job for you.

436
00:32:52,010 --> 00:32:53,140
Ah.

437
00:32:53,140 --> 00:32:55,280
Parzival.

438
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,180
Let me guess, you want
him off the scoreboard.

439
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,580
Can you do that?

440
00:33:00,580 --> 00:33:03,120
Well, he's a superstar.

441
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,990
He made it through the first gate

442
00:33:04,990 --> 00:33:07,590
and avatars are gonna be
on him like hoes on Santa.

443
00:33:07,590 --> 00:33:10,830
I-R0k, how much more do you want?

444
00:33:10,830 --> 00:33:14,260
That's what I like about you, Nolan.
You never lick.

445
00:33:14,260 --> 00:33:16,300
You bite straight to the chocolaty center

446
00:33:16,300 --> 00:33:18,630
of the Tootsie Pop.

447
00:33:18,630 --> 00:33:21,030
Remember that old commercial,
with the owl?

448
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,040
I-R0k.

449
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,840
Three times my normal fee.

450
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,270
Done.

451
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,140
Wait, really?
I should have asked for five.

452
00:33:29,140 --> 00:33:31,080
Is four still on the table?

453
00:33:33,550 --> 00:33:36,550
There's five of us on the big board now.

454
00:33:36,550 --> 00:33:39,150
Art3mis was next, no surprise there.

455
00:33:39,150 --> 00:33:42,690
She was on the track when I won.
She saw me going backwards.

456
00:33:42,690 --> 00:33:47,730
I gave Aech a tip, made him promise
not to say anything, and then he won next.

457
00:33:47,730 --> 00:33:50,190
I'm pretty sure he bragged to
our pal Daito,

458
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,130
'cause he won right after.

459
00:33:53,130 --> 00:33:56,730
And of course, Daito told
his best friend, Sho...

460
00:33:56,740 --> 00:33:58,870
He totally totaled his car,

461
00:33:58,870 --> 00:34:00,970
but then Sho got it, too.

462
00:34:10,020 --> 00:34:12,250
"A creator who hates his own creation."

463
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:16,750
"A hidden key, a leap not taken.
Retrace your steps, escape your past."

464
00:34:16,750 --> 00:34:19,290
"A creator who hates his own creation."

465
00:34:19,290 --> 00:34:23,930
"A hidden key, a leap not taken.
Retrace your steps, escape your past."

466
00:34:23,930 --> 00:34:26,130
"And the key of jade
will be yours at last."

467
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:10,140
"Escape your past."

468
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,780
What part of your past are you
trying to escape, Halliday?

469
00:35:28,660 --> 00:35:30,420
- Hey, it's Parzival!
- Dude!

470
00:35:31,890 --> 00:35:33,420
You're, like, totally my hero!

471
00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:34,390
Hey, Parzival! Over here!

472
00:35:34,390 --> 00:35:36,730
Dude, you're amazing!

473
00:35:36,730 --> 00:35:39,010
Hey, Parzival! Right here!
Let me get an autograph!

474
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,440
Watch it!

475
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,780
You're famous now! You can't
just go wherever you want!

476
00:35:50,780 --> 00:35:52,170
No, no, no, I...

477
00:35:56,810 --> 00:35:58,920
Huh?

478
00:36:02,450 --> 00:36:04,790
Ahh!

479
00:36:10,930 --> 00:36:15,130
That is... That is not funny.

480
00:36:15,130 --> 00:36:17,800
Oh, God.

481
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,440
Ugh.

482
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,200
Oh, God. Don't you get it?

483
00:36:23,210 --> 00:36:25,710
You're "the Parzival" now.

484
00:36:25,710 --> 00:36:27,140
You have to have a disguise.

485
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,050
Okay, here.

486
00:36:32,350 --> 00:36:34,050
Clark Kent glasses.

487
00:36:34,050 --> 00:36:36,290
They hide your identity
without changing your look.

488
00:36:45,060 --> 00:36:46,460
I'm not wearing that.

489
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,840
This is great.

490
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,910
The way your inventory bursts out
when you die.

491
00:37:00,910 --> 00:37:02,370
They didn't want any more blood.

492
00:37:02,380 --> 00:37:04,210
This is right before the OASIS went live.

493
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:07,810
Six days prior. December 2nd, 2025.

494
00:37:07,820 --> 00:37:09,850
Check this out.

495
00:37:09,850 --> 00:37:11,420
You know who that is?

496
00:37:13,090 --> 00:37:14,850
Is that Sorrento?

497
00:37:14,850 --> 00:37:16,820
Sorrento started as an intern.

498
00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:19,260
He claims he learned
at the feet of the master.

499
00:37:19,260 --> 00:37:21,990
That's how he convinced IOI
to create the Sixers for him,

500
00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:23,360
his Halliday knowledge.

501
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,860
But ask Ogden Morrow?

502
00:37:25,870 --> 00:37:30,030
He says the only thing Sorrento
actually knew about Halliday

503
00:37:30,030 --> 00:37:31,500
was how he liked his coffee.

504
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:34,200
You could have, like,
different tiers of accounts,

505
00:37:34,210 --> 00:37:35,840
like a gold member.

506
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,510
A person could be silver, platinum, bronze.

507
00:37:39,510 --> 00:37:41,380
You know, depending on what they paid.

508
00:37:41,380 --> 00:37:44,450
You know, highest one maybe being
"Water" because "OASIS," right?

509
00:37:44,450 --> 00:37:46,380
Hell of a latte.

510
00:37:46,380 --> 00:37:48,450
Can you fast-forward to the stuff
about Halliday's date?

511
00:37:48,450 --> 00:37:50,220
What? Halliday actually went on a date?

512
00:37:54,390 --> 00:37:56,060
So, what happened?

513
00:37:56,060 --> 00:37:59,290
Nothing. I invited her over.

514
00:37:59,300 --> 00:38:01,930
Well, did you at least get her name?

515
00:38:01,930 --> 00:38:05,430
Yeah. Kira, I told you,
like the character in "The Dark Crystal".

516
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,400
That's her gamer tag.

517
00:38:09,540 --> 00:38:10,510
- Karen.
- Karen.

518
00:38:10,510 --> 00:38:13,040
Yeah, okay? Karen Underwood.

519
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,440
No, no. Karen Underwood,
as in Ogden Morrow's wife?

520
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,440
Just watch.

521
00:38:18,450 --> 00:38:22,420
So, listen, you and Karen Underwood.
What'd you do?

522
00:38:22,420 --> 00:38:24,880
She wanted to go dancing,

523
00:38:24,890 --> 00:38:27,160
so we watched a movie.

524
00:38:28,460 --> 00:38:29,460
And?

525
00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:33,460
Where's the juice?

526
00:38:33,460 --> 00:38:35,460
Give me some juice!

527
00:38:35,460 --> 00:38:39,070
- There is no juice!
- Oh, God!

528
00:38:39,070 --> 00:38:40,530
Hold the phone.

529
00:38:40,530 --> 00:38:44,840
Halliday went on a date
with Ogden Morrow's wife?

530
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,270
Just once, years before they
were even married, but yeah.

531
00:38:48,270 --> 00:38:50,440
And despite that,
and the fact that she died,

532
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,950
the name "Kira" is only mentioned once
in all of Halliday's Journals.

533
00:38:53,950 --> 00:38:55,280
That's not possible.

534
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,180
It is. Look it up.

535
00:38:57,180 --> 00:38:59,620
What we just saw is the only
time she's ever mentioned.

536
00:38:59,620 --> 00:39:01,120
It makes no sense.

537
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,490
She was an important part
of both their lives.

538
00:39:03,490 --> 00:39:05,360
I'll bet you anything. All my coin.

539
00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:11,130
Search "Karen Underwood Morrow".

540
00:39:11,130 --> 00:39:14,300
Kira, I told you, like the
character in "The Dark Crystal".

541
00:39:14,300 --> 00:39:16,500
That's her gamer tag.

542
00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:19,200
Halliday purposely removed
every mention of her except for this one.

543
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,640
That's weird. Why?

544
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,640
It's like, it was just so painful for him

545
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,980
to have to see her face or hear her name.

546
00:39:25,980 --> 00:39:27,640
Well, he loved her.

547
00:39:27,650 --> 00:39:29,510
He couldn't tell that to Morrow.

548
00:39:29,510 --> 00:39:31,380
Oh, that's sad.
He should have told her how he felt.

549
00:39:31,380 --> 00:39:32,880
Yeah, well, he missed his chance.

550
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,020
Look.

551
00:39:35,020 --> 00:39:38,220
I found the clue to the race
in the other scene, but...

552
00:39:38,220 --> 00:39:39,620
I've always felt that the biggest clue

553
00:39:39,620 --> 00:39:41,490
to the contest was hidden here.

554
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,390
You're right.

555
00:39:44,530 --> 00:39:46,530
I lose.

556
00:39:46,530 --> 00:39:48,330
Don't sweat it, Curator.

557
00:39:48,330 --> 00:39:50,630
You see, Kira is the "Rosebud"
at the center of his story.

558
00:39:50,630 --> 00:39:52,030
She's the big mystery.

559
00:39:52,030 --> 00:39:54,340
No, no. A bet is a bet.

560
00:39:55,910 --> 00:39:58,970
Oh, wow. A quarter. You can keep it.

561
00:39:58,980 --> 00:40:01,050
No. You can keep it.

562
00:40:04,410 --> 00:40:06,520
- You free Thursday?
- Who, me?

563
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,220
No, him.

564
00:40:10,490 --> 00:40:12,250
Oh, my God. Yes, you!

565
00:40:14,590 --> 00:40:16,360
You know "The Distracted Globe"?

566
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,390
Yeah, the dance club.

567
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,230
Meet me there. 10:00 p.m.

568
00:40:23,230 --> 00:40:25,430
There's something I wanna show you.

569
00:40:26,270 --> 00:40:27,570
Uh, bye-bye!

570
00:40:28,700 --> 00:40:30,700
Did she just ask me out?

571
00:40:30,710 --> 00:40:32,570
And I was starting to like her.

572
00:40:32,570 --> 00:40:34,410
All right.

573
00:40:34,410 --> 00:40:35,910
I don't do that.

574
00:40:39,550 --> 00:40:41,610
Z, I can't believe
you told her about Kira.

575
00:40:41,620 --> 00:40:44,180
What? I told you.

576
00:40:44,180 --> 00:40:48,090
Hey, what about this?

577
00:40:48,090 --> 00:40:50,960
No. Have you considered that
Art3mis could be using you?

578
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:55,430
Hey, dude, she's giving me a clue.
Maybe I'm the one using her.

579
00:40:55,430 --> 00:40:59,030
Should I go more "Thriller?"

580
00:40:59,030 --> 00:41:00,400
No.

581
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,300
Punk?

582
00:41:02,300 --> 00:41:03,300
No.

583
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,570
Duran Duran.

584
00:41:06,570 --> 00:41:08,610
No.

585
00:41:08,610 --> 00:41:09,570
Does it look like I'm trying too hard?

586
00:41:09,570 --> 00:41:13,040
Yes! Listen to yourself!

587
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,210
You have a massive cyber crush
on this girl.

588
00:41:16,210 --> 00:41:18,520
She's hacking your heart
to get to your head.

589
00:41:20,290 --> 00:41:22,090
I got it!

590
00:41:23,290 --> 00:41:25,320
- "Buckaroo Banzai?"
- Yeah!

591
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,590
Really? You're gonna wear the
outfit from your favorite movie?

592
00:41:28,590 --> 00:41:29,760
Don't be that guy.

593
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,990
I am that guy.

594
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,760
Z, you gotta be more careful
about who you meet in the OASIS.

595
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,070
Aech, Art3mis gets me.
She'll get my outfit.

596
00:41:37,070 --> 00:41:40,070
There's just this connection.
I mean, sometimes, we even...

597
00:41:40,070 --> 00:41:41,770
- Finish each other's sentences?
- Yeah!

598
00:41:41,770 --> 00:41:44,670
We have that. Me and you.

599
00:41:44,670 --> 00:41:48,240
Yeah, I know, but that's because
we're best friends, dude.

600
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:50,180
She could be a dude, too, dude.

601
00:41:50,180 --> 00:41:51,340
Come on.

602
00:41:51,350 --> 00:41:53,080
I'm serious!

603
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,650
She could actually be a 300-pound dude

604
00:41:55,650 --> 00:41:59,020
who lives in his mama's basement
in suburban Detroit.

605
00:41:59,020 --> 00:42:00,660
And her name is Chuck.

606
00:42:02,590 --> 00:42:05,190
Think about that.

607
00:42:34,390 --> 00:42:35,790
Whoa, dude, is that Parzival?

608
00:42:35,790 --> 00:42:37,520
- Parzival!
- Oh, my God, Parzival!

609
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,790
Come here, man. Hey, can we get a photo?

610
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,130
- Thank you so much!
- Dude, you're my hero!

611
00:42:45,130 --> 00:42:46,400
Hey, Parzival.

612
00:42:48,700 --> 00:42:50,540
Thank you.

613
00:43:04,380 --> 00:43:07,480
Get out of town! "Buckaroo Banzai"?

614
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,820
- Huh?
- I like it. I like "Buckaroo Banzai".

615
00:43:09,820 --> 00:43:11,490
- Oh, thanks!
- It's great!

616
00:43:11,490 --> 00:43:13,250
- Yeah! You look...
- Oh.

617
00:43:13,260 --> 00:43:14,760
You look awesome!

618
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:15,760
- Thank you.
- Wow.

619
00:43:17,690 --> 00:43:19,560
A big one, a small one?

620
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:20,700
A big one!

621
00:43:35,740 --> 00:43:39,610
Get out of here.

622
00:43:39,620 --> 00:43:41,550
What a freak!
I thought he was kind of cute.

623
00:43:41,550 --> 00:43:42,880
Have you been here before?

624
00:43:42,890 --> 00:43:44,790
It's cool, right? I mean...

625
00:43:44,790 --> 00:43:47,190
So, what's the plan?

626
00:43:47,190 --> 00:43:49,620
Are you gonna kill their avatars?
Zero them out?

627
00:43:49,620 --> 00:43:51,760
They're both here at The Distracted Globe.

628
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,230
I can't talk.

629
00:43:54,230 --> 00:43:56,130
"The Distracted Globe"
was one of the first clubs

630
00:43:56,130 --> 00:43:57,400
Halliday created in the OASIS.

631
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,900
That's common knowledge.

632
00:43:58,900 --> 00:44:01,230
But I double-checked

633
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:03,700
and it turns out he started building it
right after that moment you showed me.

634
00:44:03,700 --> 00:44:04,770
The date with Kira.

635
00:44:04,770 --> 00:44:06,870
Right, and she was a serious dancer.

636
00:44:06,870 --> 00:44:09,140
Maybe he thought he'd take her here,

637
00:44:09,140 --> 00:44:11,780
like on a virtual date.

638
00:44:11,780 --> 00:44:13,880
As if that ever works.

639
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,380
So Halliday built it for her?

640
00:44:15,380 --> 00:44:16,710
But they never made it
past the first date.

641
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:18,150
So Halliday's the creator...

642
00:44:18,150 --> 00:44:19,480
Who hates his own creation.

643
00:44:19,490 --> 00:44:20,890
And the club is the thing he hates.

644
00:44:20,890 --> 00:44:23,120
And "A hidden key, a leap not taken"?

645
00:44:26,590 --> 00:44:27,860
But people jump off it all night long.

646
00:44:27,860 --> 00:44:29,790
But none of those people
had the Copper Key,

647
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,630
so when we jump off,
maybe it's different. Right?

648
00:44:33,630 --> 00:44:34,630
Right.

649
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:38,770
So we take it together?

650
00:44:38,770 --> 00:44:40,140
Sure.

651
00:44:41,940 --> 00:44:44,270
We're not clanning up or anything.

652
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,310
Of course not. I don't clan.

653
00:44:48,450 --> 00:44:49,610
Wait...

654
00:44:49,610 --> 00:44:50,720
Whoa!

655
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,790
Ow! Whoa.

656
00:44:58,490 --> 00:45:02,290
I don't think this is it.
No scoreboard, no obstacles.

657
00:45:02,290 --> 00:45:04,730
- Maybe a dance challenge?
- Huh? Whoa!

658
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,380

My, Parzival, you did come prepared.

675
00:46:28,940 --> 00:46:32,540
So, I've been thinking.

676
00:46:32,540 --> 00:46:34,980
Maybe it'd be cool if we met up
in the real world.

677
00:46:34,980 --> 00:46:36,750
No, you'd be disappointed.

678
00:46:36,750 --> 00:46:39,380
No, I wouldn't. I like you.

679
00:46:39,380 --> 00:46:41,620
You don't even know me.

This isn't my real body, or my real face.

682
00:46:47,460 --> 00:46:48,990
I don't care.

683
00:46:48,990 --> 00:46:50,760

688
00:47:08,940 --> 00:47:11,810
Well, Buckaroo blows it. Shocking.

689
00:47:11,810 --> 00:47:14,450
Are you crazy? You don't
tell anyone who you are.

690
00:47:14,450 --> 00:47:15,950
You can't use your real name.

We've never met.

I do know you, Arty.

695
00:47:23,790 --> 00:47:25,290
I'm in love with you.

696
00:47:33,830 --> 00:47:36,030
- Is this part of the challenge?
- No.

697
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,410
It's an ambush.

698
00:47:44,910 --> 00:47:47,640
IOI, always in the way.

699
00:47:47,650 --> 00:47:49,480
Did you hear what I said?
I said I'm in love with you.

700
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:50,850
No, you're not.

701
00:47:52,450 --> 00:47:54,080
You only know what I want you to know.

702
00:47:54,090 --> 00:47:55,920
You only see what I want you to see.

703
00:47:58,860 --> 00:48:00,660
That's what you're in love with.

704
00:48:14,540 --> 00:48:15,670
Watch out!

705
00:48:25,950 --> 00:48:27,350
Pull.

706
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,000
Head back! Z! Your armor is running low.

707
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,330
I just bought this.

708
00:48:52,410 --> 00:48:53,710
Zemeckis Cube.

709
00:48:53,710 --> 00:48:55,540
Turns everything back in time 60 seconds.

710
00:49:00,180 --> 00:49:01,980
And you waited until now to use it?

711
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,430
Wow, you were amazing.

712
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,770
This isn't a game, Z.

713
00:49:19,100 --> 00:49:21,070
I'm doing this to stop IOI.

714
00:49:21,070 --> 00:49:23,570
I'm talking about real-world consequences.

715
00:49:23,570 --> 00:49:25,170
People suffering.

716
00:49:25,170 --> 00:49:27,040
- Actual life-and-death stuff.
- I know. I know...

717
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:31,940
No, you don't know! My dad
died in a loyalty center.

718
00:49:31,940 --> 00:49:35,110
- He borrowed gear.
- He built up debt.

719
00:49:35,110 --> 00:49:38,620
He moved in with the promise
of working it off, but he never did.

720
00:49:38,620 --> 00:49:40,520
IOI just raised his living expenses,

721
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,080
then he got sick,
and he couldn't afford to get out.

722
00:49:42,090 --> 00:49:44,590
And then he died!

723
00:49:44,590 --> 00:49:45,960
I'm so sorry, I didn't...

724
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,060
No, you don't live in the real world, Z.

725
00:49:48,060 --> 00:49:51,130
From what you've told me,
I don't think you ever have.

726
00:49:51,130 --> 00:49:54,730
You live inside this... This illusion,

727
00:49:54,730 --> 00:49:56,740
and I can't afford to let you distract me.

728
00:50:09,210 --> 00:50:11,750
How the hell did they get away?

729
00:50:11,750 --> 00:50:14,050
Do you want the long version?
Your guys suck.

730
00:50:14,050 --> 00:50:15,750
They failed to kill his avatar,

731
00:50:15,750 --> 00:50:17,990
which, if we're offering
constructive criticism,

732
00:50:17,990 --> 00:50:20,820
was a lame idea and
only would've slowed him down.

733
00:50:20,820 --> 00:50:25,160
Whereas my plan, which was cool
because I rock, actually worked.

734
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,930
He's still on the board.

735
00:50:26,930 --> 00:50:30,260
I know that, Nolan.
But he won't be for long.

736
00:50:30,270 --> 00:50:32,230
I did a search for all the Wades

737
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:34,630
who had recently bought an X1 bootsuit,

738
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,840
cross-referenced that with public records,
and "voilà",

739
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,840
which is French for...
"And then I found out."

740
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,240
Ready?

741
00:50:44,250 --> 00:50:48,480
The real-world identity
of Parzival is Wade Watts.

742
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:50,820
Voilà.

743
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,220
Are you loyal, Ms. Zandor?

744
00:50:55,220 --> 00:50:57,190
You really want me to answer that?

745
00:50:57,190 --> 00:50:58,760
Well, when you're at war,

746
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,790
you need people who are loyal to a fault.

747
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,660
People you can count on
to get things done.

748
00:51:03,660 --> 00:51:06,130
I just get people arrested
for not paying their bills.

749
00:51:06,130 --> 00:51:09,270
Yeah, 'cause there are some problems
that require a physical solution,

750
00:51:09,270 --> 00:51:11,840
but there are other times,
particularly at war,

751
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,540
when you need a different set of rules.

752
00:51:13,540 --> 00:51:15,170
- The rules of war.
- Exactly.

753
00:51:15,170 --> 00:51:17,980
It's too bad my division doesn't operate
inside the OASIS.

754
00:51:17,980 --> 00:51:20,880
Yeah, but if this war remains in the OASIS,

755
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,280
then you can't do anything.

756
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,020
So, this is one of those conversations
that we're not really having.

757
00:51:26,020 --> 00:51:27,980
Well, we've had these kind
of conversations before,

758
00:51:27,990 --> 00:51:29,720
and look where you are now.

759
00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:32,020
You got a seat on the board,
head of your own division,

760
00:51:32,020 --> 00:51:35,690
a division that will cease to exist if
the wrong person wins this contest.

761
00:51:35,690 --> 00:51:39,030
F'Nale, a game decides our fate.

762
00:51:39,030 --> 00:51:42,800
The only question is,
how far are we willing to go to win it?

763
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,040
Tell me what you need, Nolan.

764
00:53:05,410 --> 00:53:06,910
Whoa.

765
00:53:10,750 --> 00:53:12,420
Where am I?

766
00:53:12,420 --> 00:53:14,650
IOI Plaza.
You're a hologram in the real world.

767
00:53:15,390 --> 00:53:17,250
That's a really cool rig.

768
00:53:17,260 --> 00:53:21,290
Thank you.
It's a brand-new Habashaw, OIR 9400.

769
00:53:21,290 --> 00:53:23,290
It looks like a giant hamster ball.

770
00:53:23,290 --> 00:53:28,060
You know, if you came to work at IOI,
you'd get one of these.

771
00:53:28,070 --> 00:53:30,000
I don't clan up.

772
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,240
You'd also get your own penthouse apartment
in Columbus

773
00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:34,300
with the highest-speed connection.

774
00:53:34,300 --> 00:53:39,910
In the OASIS, you'd get unlimited weapons,
magic items, ships.

775
00:53:39,910 --> 00:53:41,780
You want the ship from "Defender"?

776
00:53:41,780 --> 00:53:44,310
You know, the kind that can just jump
into hyperspace?

777
00:53:44,310 --> 00:53:46,350
You want the "Millennium Falcon"?

778
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:48,780
You have that?

779
00:53:48,790 --> 00:53:51,420
Anything you need
to help you find that Egg,

780
00:53:51,420 --> 00:53:52,920
and then there's the salary.

781
00:53:54,090 --> 00:53:56,190
Four million a year.

782
00:53:56,190 --> 00:53:59,790
And if you do happen to find
that Easter Egg, there's a bonus.

783
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,030
Twenty-five million dollars.

784
00:54:07,470 --> 00:54:11,040
I can see you're using
emotion-suppressing software right now,

785
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,880
and why wouldn't you?
It's smart, not to show your hand.

786
00:54:19,380 --> 00:54:23,050
It is a lot of money.
I could really use it.

787
00:54:28,050 --> 00:54:30,460
But I don't think you and
I would have the same plans.

788
00:54:30,460 --> 00:54:33,490
Well, I don't know about that.
What, for the OASIS?

789
00:54:33,490 --> 00:54:36,430
I guess if you're not a John Hughes fan...

790
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,330
Of course I am.

791
00:54:39,330 --> 00:54:42,170
Because the first thing that I would do

792
00:54:42,170 --> 00:54:45,900
is convert all the schools
on Ludus to replicas

793
00:54:45,900 --> 00:54:49,070
from "The Breakfast Club" and
"Ferris Bueller".

794
00:54:49,070 --> 00:54:52,240
No way. That's a great idea.

795
00:54:52,250 --> 00:54:54,510
Which school, Ridgemont or Faber?

796
00:54:54,510 --> 00:54:57,810
"Fast Times at Ridgemont High",
not John Hughes.

797
00:54:57,820 --> 00:55:01,050
It's a trap.
Faber College from "Animal House".

798
00:55:01,050 --> 00:55:02,490
John Hughes didn't direct

799
00:55:02,490 --> 00:55:05,490
"Fast Times at Ridgemont High"
or "Animal House".

800
00:55:05,490 --> 00:55:09,020
"Ferris Bueller" and "The Breakfast Club",
they went to Shermer High School,

801
00:55:09,030 --> 00:55:12,360
which is in Shermer, Illinois.
I know what you think.

802
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,260
You think I'm a corporate asshole,

803
00:55:14,270 --> 00:55:17,470
that I don't appreciate pop culture, but...

804
00:55:17,470 --> 00:55:20,770
Man, that's not true. You know,
when I wanna blow off steam...

805
00:55:20,770 --> 00:55:24,540
Drink Tab, play "Robotron",
listen to Duran Duran.

806
00:55:24,540 --> 00:55:26,340
I crack open a Tab.

807
00:55:26,340 --> 00:55:28,540
I put on some Duran Duran.
I play "Robotron".

808
00:55:28,540 --> 00:55:30,880
That's why I love the OASIS.

809
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,210
'Cause it's just full
of all these things, man,

810
00:55:34,220 --> 00:55:35,490
that people love. You know?

811
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,060
I'm a businessman. I get it.

812
00:55:46,060 --> 00:55:48,860
But I gotta do my job.

813
00:55:48,860 --> 00:55:54,400
But I didn't ask you here just
to help us find the Egg, Parzival.

814
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:58,370
I asked you here for what comes after.

815
00:55:59,410 --> 00:56:01,240
What would Halliday say?

816
00:56:02,310 --> 00:56:04,980
James Halliday is dead.

817
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:10,280
Yeah. He is.

818
00:56:10,290 --> 00:56:15,220
All that's left of him is this contest.
And you know what?

819
00:56:15,220 --> 00:56:17,590
It just seems like
he wouldn't want you winning it.

820
00:56:17,590 --> 00:56:19,590
A fanboy knows a hater,

821
00:56:19,590 --> 00:56:21,460
and I know you've got a whole
department of oologists in your ear.

822
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:23,930
So, if you wanna know
what I really think...

823
00:56:23,930 --> 00:56:25,400
I think you're full of shit.

824
00:56:30,570 --> 00:56:32,440
Here's my offer.

825
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:33,940
Your board of directors,
you got them in the other ear?

826
00:56:33,940 --> 00:56:35,810
Why don't you tell 'em this.

827
00:56:37,010 --> 00:56:39,610
If they dump you, I'll consider it.

828
00:56:39,610 --> 00:56:41,850
I might say something off the record.

829
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:44,950
I had to make the offer.

830
00:56:44,950 --> 00:56:47,950
The board expected it,
but I was really hoping you'd say no.

831
00:56:47,950 --> 00:56:51,350
Because if anyone's gonna win
this competition, it's me.

832
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,420
My avatar gets the Egg

833
00:56:53,430 --> 00:56:56,590
'cause I'm the only one here
with the balls to run this place.

834
00:56:56,590 --> 00:56:59,300
Wow, you really switched gears there.

835
00:56:59,300 --> 00:57:02,360
From fairly reasonable
to maniacal overlord.

836
00:57:02,370 --> 00:57:05,370
You should be grateful, Wade.

837
00:57:05,370 --> 00:57:08,600
You won't be around
to endure my maniacal reign.

838
00:57:08,610 --> 00:57:10,610
Yeah, that's right. I know who you are.

839
00:57:10,610 --> 00:57:15,640
Wade Owen Watts, born August 12, 2027.

840
00:57:15,650 --> 00:57:19,650
I also know where you are.
Unit 56K, Columbus stacks.

841
00:57:19,650 --> 00:57:22,620
You were last seen entering
your trailer three days ago.

842
00:57:22,620 --> 00:57:24,050
You haven't left since.

843
00:57:24,050 --> 00:57:25,390
What are you doing? You can't...

844
00:57:25,390 --> 00:57:26,990
With all that's going on in the world,

845
00:57:26,990 --> 00:57:28,360
do you really think that
anyone's gonna give a damn

846
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:29,890
about an explosion

847
00:57:29,890 --> 00:57:32,460
in some ghetto trash rat warren
in Columbus?

848
00:57:32,460 --> 00:57:34,490
Sorrento, don't do this.
I'm not even there!

849
00:57:34,500 --> 00:57:36,530
Not for long.

850
00:57:40,230 --> 00:57:42,470
Call Alice.

851
00:57:42,470 --> 00:57:44,140
Dial Alice.

852
00:58:10,660 --> 00:58:12,500
Pick up! Pick up! Alice!

853
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,070
This bootsuit's pretty awesome.
Thanks for that.

854
00:58:20,070 --> 00:58:22,170
Rick! Rick, the place is gonna blow!

855
00:58:22,170 --> 00:58:23,670
Rick, is that Wade?

856
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,680
- Put Alice on!
- Let me talk to him.

857
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:27,680
Don't call here anymore, you got me?

858
00:58:29,380 --> 00:58:32,120
I don't wanna hear your voice ever again.

859
00:59:09,150 --> 00:59:13,550
Contact Aech, Daito, Sho, and Art3mis.

860
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,760
IOI came for me in the real world.

861
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,560
They gotta be coming after you,
so wherever you are...

862
00:59:44,620 --> 00:59:46,650
Sorry about the blindfold.

863
00:59:46,650 --> 00:59:48,590
My guys are a little paranoid.

864
00:59:49,660 --> 00:59:51,660
Say that again.

865
00:59:51,660 --> 00:59:54,190
My guys are a little paranoid.

866
00:59:55,330 --> 00:59:56,560
Art3mis?

867
00:59:58,330 --> 01:00:02,340
My real name is Samantha,
but yeah, I'm Art3mis.

868
01:00:04,270 --> 01:00:06,740
Showers are that way, clean clothes, too.

869
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:14,280
Welcome to the rebellion, Wade.

870
01:00:25,490 --> 01:00:30,790
That's IOI. So the stacks are over there?

871
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,600
We've been living this close
to each other the whole time?

872
01:00:35,300 --> 01:00:37,470
Next door,

873
01:00:37,470 --> 01:00:41,510
around the world, it's...
It's all the same in the OASIS.

874
01:00:43,810 --> 01:00:46,410
For the record,

875
01:00:46,410 --> 01:00:47,710
um...

876
01:00:47,710 --> 01:00:51,710
I'm not disappointed.

877
01:00:51,710 --> 01:00:54,820
You said I... I would be disappointed
when I met you, but...

878
01:00:54,820 --> 01:00:58,250
I'm not.

879
01:00:58,250 --> 01:01:01,020
I've lived with it my whole life.
You don't have to pretend.

880
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,340
You have a birthmark, so what?

881
01:01:19,270 --> 01:01:20,740
Why would that scare me?

882
01:01:28,220 --> 01:01:30,850
Z, if I hurt you, I'm... I'm sorry.

883
01:01:30,850 --> 01:01:32,850
No, it's...

884
01:01:32,850 --> 01:01:36,350
Wait, did... did you just call me "Z"?

885
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,390
- Oh, my God. Did I?
- I think you did.

886
01:01:38,390 --> 01:01:40,260
Wade, I'm sorry.

887
01:01:40,260 --> 01:01:42,590
Yeah, Wade, Z.

888
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,900
You can call me whatever you want.
And I'll call you Sam.

889
01:01:45,900 --> 01:01:46,900
No.

890
01:01:47,830 --> 01:01:49,530
Uh, Samantha?

891
01:01:49,540 --> 01:01:51,740
Okay. Cool.

892
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,780
Wow.

893
01:02:01,650 --> 01:02:03,720
It's so much slower here.

894
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:08,420
I mean, the wind, the people...

895
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,120
Everything.

896
01:02:17,390 --> 01:02:19,830
We forget what it's like to be outside.

897
01:02:19,830 --> 01:02:20,830
Yeah.

898
01:02:24,170 --> 01:02:27,640
- Uh...
- Oh, shit!

899
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:29,300
- I just figured it out.
- Figured what out?

900
01:02:29,310 --> 01:02:30,790
The second clue. I know what it means.

901
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,950
We've been thinking about it too literally.

902
01:02:38,950 --> 01:02:40,680
"The leap not taken,"

903
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,920
the leap Halliday didn't take,
is with Kira.

904
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:46,750
Yeah, but... I mean, he blamed her
for breaking up him and Morrow.

905
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,690
No. Halliday was madly in love with her.

906
01:02:49,690 --> 01:02:51,920
He had a chance with Kira.
He had a chance to kiss her, but...

907
01:02:51,930 --> 01:02:53,460
He didn't take the leap.

908
01:02:53,460 --> 01:02:57,200
Right. So that's where we go next.

909
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:58,760
The place where the leap wasn't taken.

910
01:02:58,770 --> 01:03:00,430
Where the date was.

911
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:02,600
At the movies!

912
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,370
Hey, Curator.

913
01:03:04,370 --> 01:03:06,370
We figured out the second clue.
The challenge is here.

914
01:03:06,370 --> 01:03:08,440
Halliday kept track of every movie
he ever watched,

915
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,510
the week and the year he watched it,
and how many times.

916
01:03:11,510 --> 01:03:16,280
Curator, can we see
November 23 to 27, 2025?

917
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,080
That's the week
he went on the date with Kira.

918
01:03:22,690 --> 01:03:26,320
Okay, so our options for that week are
"The Fly" remake.

919
01:03:26,330 --> 01:03:28,460
"Great flick", terrible date movie.

920
01:03:28,460 --> 01:03:31,960
"Say Anything..." That would make sense.

921
01:03:31,970 --> 01:03:36,340
We gotta remember the clue.
"A creator who hates his own creation."

922
01:03:41,010 --> 01:03:42,970
"The Shining"!

923
01:03:42,980 --> 01:03:45,240
It's Halliday's 11th favorite horror film,

924
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,640
and it's based on the best-selling book
by Stephen King,

925
01:03:47,650 --> 01:03:49,250
who hated the movie!

926
01:03:49,250 --> 01:03:51,350
Hey! No side chitchat.

927
01:03:51,350 --> 01:03:52,650
I think we found it.

928
01:03:56,420 --> 01:03:58,950
Are you absolutely sure
you want to go here?

929
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,020
Absolutely positive.

930
01:04:01,030 --> 01:04:03,860
Let's hope you have the belly for it.

931
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:47,900
Look.

932
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,570
Ticking clock.

933
01:04:51,570 --> 01:04:54,310
Okay, so I'm estimating about

934
01:04:55,410 --> 01:04:57,440
five minutes to find the key.

935
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,080
Yeah, there are so many keys
in "The Shining", though.

936
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:01,910
Where do we start?

937
01:05:01,910 --> 01:05:05,320
I've never seen "The Shining".
Is it really scary?

938
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:09,050
Uh, I had to watch it through my fingers.

939
01:05:09,060 --> 01:05:12,020
Okay, so we got the key from room 237,

940
01:05:12,030 --> 01:05:13,930
the keys to the Snowcat,

941
01:05:13,930 --> 01:05:15,960
or the keys they give Jack
at the beginning of the movie.

942
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:17,760
Well, if it's "the leap not taken,"

943
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:19,030
maybe the key isn't a key at all.

944
01:05:19,030 --> 01:05:20,100
I know where the Snowcat keys are!

945
01:05:20,100 --> 01:05:21,500
I say we split up.

946
01:05:21,500 --> 01:05:22,970
We get all the keys

947
01:05:22,970 --> 01:05:24,930
and then we meet back
at the Torrances' apartment.

948
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:30,280
Hello, Danny.

949
01:05:31,510 --> 01:05:33,110
Come play with us.

950
01:05:33,110 --> 01:05:36,520
Little girls, y'all know
how to get out of here?

951
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:42,680
Wait, wait!

952
01:05:42,690 --> 01:05:44,820
Wait, where's Aech?

953
01:05:44,820 --> 01:05:45,890
Wait!

954
01:05:46,990 --> 01:05:47,990
Aech!

955
01:05:48,990 --> 01:05:50,030
No, no, no, no!

956
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:09,880
Ahh!

957
01:06:14,620 --> 01:06:15,990
Ahh!

958
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,580
Oh, uh, hi, naked lady. I'm sorry.

959
01:06:52,590 --> 01:06:54,680
I didn't mean to interrupt,
uh, your bath time.

960
01:06:54,690 --> 01:06:56,750
Uh, I know self-care can be important.

961
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,860
Uh, but can you do me a favor and tell me,
where are all the exits?

962
01:07:03,500 --> 01:07:05,060
Huh. Whoa.

963
01:07:05,060 --> 01:07:07,430
Okay, am I being punked?

964
01:07:07,430 --> 01:07:09,770
'Cause you're likin' me
a little way too much.

965
01:07:11,140 --> 01:07:13,440
All right, you know what? I'ma go with it.

966
01:07:27,020 --> 01:07:28,050
Ahh!

967
01:08:05,190 --> 01:08:06,790
Time's running out.

968
01:08:06,790 --> 01:08:08,920
Yo, Z, is Art3mis pissed at me?

969
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,120
Dude, I'm pissed at you.
You've never seen "The Shining", have you?

970
01:08:11,130 --> 01:08:12,720
You know I hate scary movies!

971
01:08:12,730 --> 01:08:13,890
We got the key.

972
01:08:13,900 --> 01:08:15,090
Sweet! To room 237!

973
01:08:15,100 --> 01:08:17,830
We ain't got no business goin' to room 237!

974
01:08:17,830 --> 01:08:19,630
We should stay out!

975
01:08:19,630 --> 01:08:21,270
Plus, there was this crazy,
naked zombie lady in there.

976
01:08:21,270 --> 01:08:22,970
There are no zombies in "The Shining".

977
01:08:22,970 --> 01:08:24,940
Well, maybe it's not supposed
to be like the movie.

978
01:08:24,940 --> 01:08:26,640
Kira is the key.
You're the one who said it.

979
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,840
Hey, y'all. I saw a picture of Kira!

980
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:30,910
Huh?

981
01:08:33,250 --> 01:08:34,480
Where?

982
01:08:41,290 --> 01:08:45,620
It's Kira. "Escape your past."

983
01:08:45,630 --> 01:08:48,830
"The leap not taken."

984
01:08:48,830 --> 01:08:50,830
Halliday's greatest fear
wasn't "The Shining"

985
01:08:50,830 --> 01:08:53,300
or any book or movie.

986
01:08:53,300 --> 01:08:56,870
His biggest fear was kissing a girl.

987
01:08:56,870 --> 01:09:00,240
That's the leap he couldn't take.

988
01:09:07,180 --> 01:09:09,010
The ballroom.

989
01:09:23,660 --> 01:09:25,730
Aech, come on.

990
01:09:29,330 --> 01:09:31,100
Zombies. Told you.

991
01:09:32,740 --> 01:09:33,970
That's her.

992
01:09:35,070 --> 01:09:36,710
That's Kira.

993
01:09:39,580 --> 01:09:41,580
None of this is in "The Shining".

994
01:09:41,580 --> 01:09:43,840
Z, look. That's "the zombie-circle level"
in "Mayhem Mansion",

995
01:09:43,850 --> 01:09:45,280
one of Halliday's first games.

996
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,250
The whole "Shining" trivia
is just a diversion.

997
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,090
One minute left.

998
01:09:51,350 --> 01:09:52,890
How do we get to her?

999
01:09:52,890 --> 01:09:54,050
Take the leap.

1000
01:09:54,060 --> 01:09:55,060
Wait!

1001
01:09:56,290 --> 01:09:57,560
Whoa!

1002
01:10:03,230 --> 01:10:06,200
Okay, Mr. Dead Guy. Cool if I lead?

1003
01:10:53,810 --> 01:10:56,110
Care to dance?

1004
01:10:56,110 --> 01:10:59,580
Do you know how long
I've been waiting for you to ask?

1005
01:11:05,260 --> 01:11:08,060
Well, well, well.

1006
01:11:08,060 --> 01:11:12,230
So you found my Jade Key.

1007
01:11:14,930 --> 01:11:16,830
Imagine that.

1008
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:23,210
Thank you.

1009
01:11:28,180 --> 01:11:30,250
- Kira was a very beautiful...
- Go on.

1010
01:11:59,310 --> 01:12:02,370
One of our oologists saw them
enter the media library.

1011
01:12:02,380 --> 01:12:04,040
She cracked the clue.

1012
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:07,840
Now, we just have to win
"The Shining" challenge.

1013
01:12:10,180 --> 01:12:12,980
Get her off me! Get her off me!

1014
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:26,900
Mr. Sorrento, I really think
you need to see this.

1015
01:12:29,030 --> 01:12:30,840
Now Parzival's got the Jade Key.

1016
01:12:41,250 --> 01:12:43,440
He's alive.

1017
01:12:43,450 --> 01:12:46,380
I know. I'll get back to you.

1018
01:12:46,380 --> 01:12:48,390
I got what you're looking for.

1019
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:56,730
Freeze. This guy.
The one with the lame tattoo.

1020
01:12:57,330 --> 01:12:58,490
Enlarge.

1021
01:13:01,030 --> 01:13:04,270
Run him through our database,
every IOI drone in Columbus.

1022
01:13:04,270 --> 01:13:05,700
Find him.

1023
01:13:32,430 --> 01:13:34,360
Groceries are here.

1024
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:35,860
All right. Gluten-O's...

1025
01:13:35,860 --> 01:13:37,100
"If you know the answer ultimate,"

1026
01:13:37,100 --> 01:13:39,370
"divide it by the number magic,"

1027
01:13:39,370 --> 01:13:42,200
"and what you need, want, and desire
will be found in the fortress tragic."

1028
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,300
"Tragic", that's gotta be
Halliday referring to himself.

1029
01:13:44,300 --> 01:13:45,400
Why?

1030
01:13:45,410 --> 01:13:47,200
Because he was lonely.

1031
01:13:47,210 --> 01:13:49,110
He had no one to spend his life
with towards the end.

1032
01:13:49,110 --> 01:13:51,210
Yeah, that's true.

1033
01:13:51,210 --> 01:13:53,140
The contest has gotta be somehow
about connecting with someone.

1034
01:13:53,150 --> 01:13:54,510
Anyone.

1035
01:13:54,510 --> 01:13:56,210
He wants the person
who cares for the OASIS

1036
01:13:56,220 --> 01:13:57,920
to be connected with the world.

1037
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,390
That's what I think
he's trying to tell us.

1038
01:14:06,390 --> 01:14:07,990
Wade.

1039
01:14:10,060 --> 01:14:12,400
You understand Halliday.

1040
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:16,100
You know him better than anyone.

1041
01:14:16,100 --> 01:14:19,100
It's exactly why I think you'll win.

1042
01:14:19,100 --> 01:14:22,910
Really? You really think I'm gonna win?

1043
01:14:26,850 --> 01:14:28,380
Do not move!

1044
01:14:34,020 --> 01:14:35,450
Target identified!

1045
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:38,090
Freeze! Don't move!

1046
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,590
- This leads right to the alley.
- You first.

1047
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,270
I'm right behind you. Go now!

1048
01:14:50,870 --> 01:14:52,470
Come on!

1049
01:14:52,470 --> 01:14:54,970
- Wade, the OASIS needs you.
- What?

1050
01:14:54,970 --> 01:14:56,270
- I'm gonna delay them.
- Wait!

1051
01:14:56,270 --> 01:14:58,500
No, no, no, wait! No, no, no!

1052
01:14:58,510 --> 01:15:00,880
You'll forgive me for this, I promise.

1053
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:11,490
Freeze, freeze, freeze!

1054
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:13,520
Don't move!

1055
01:15:19,030 --> 01:15:21,530
Samantha Evelyn Cook.

1056
01:15:21,530 --> 01:15:25,400
IOI has purchased and consolidated
all of your outstanding debt,

1057
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,670
currently in excess of 23,000 credits.

1058
01:15:28,670 --> 01:15:31,540
You will be remanded
to the nearest IOI loyalty center

1059
01:15:31,540 --> 01:15:33,040
until your debt is paid in full,

1060
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,640
including any interest, processing,

1061
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,510
or late fees you incur henceforth.

1062
01:15:38,510 --> 01:15:41,070
- Does anybody have eyes?
- Check down the next street!

1063
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:55,530
- "First to the key."
- "First to the Egg."

1064
01:15:55,530 --> 01:15:58,030
Wait, what?

1065
01:15:58,030 --> 01:16:01,400
"Never trust someone you meet
in the OASIS".

1066
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,030
"She might be a 300-pound dude
named Chuck..."

1067
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,240
"Who lives in his mama's basement
in suburban Detroit."

1068
01:16:09,610 --> 01:16:11,540
Aech!

1069
01:16:11,540 --> 01:16:15,050
Helen. My dad called me "H".
It kinda stuck. Let's go!

1070
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:27,090
That thing's IDing my van.

1071
01:16:41,740 --> 01:16:43,940
Come on. They've spotted us.

1072
01:16:44,570 --> 01:16:46,370
Daito.

1073
01:16:46,370 --> 01:16:49,210
My real name is Toshiro.
Samantha got us a message.

1074
01:16:49,210 --> 01:16:51,040
She told us to meet you here.

1075
01:16:51,050 --> 01:16:52,450
Samantha, they took her to the...

1076
01:16:52,450 --> 01:16:54,480
The loyalty center, I know.

1077
01:16:54,480 --> 01:16:58,050
Look, in other awesome news,
the Sixers found the third challenge.

1078
01:16:58,050 --> 01:16:59,750
- What?
- Just come on, get in!

1079
01:16:59,750 --> 01:17:01,150
All right. Let's go.

1080
01:17:01,150 --> 01:17:03,290
Hurry up. Go, go, go. All right.

1081
01:17:15,070 --> 01:17:17,570
How did IOI find
the third challenge so fast?

1082
01:17:17,570 --> 01:17:19,670
IOI cracked the first three lines
of the clue,

1083
01:17:19,670 --> 01:17:21,340
so they knew it was sector 14

1084
01:17:21,340 --> 01:17:22,740
but they couldn't figure out
"the fortress tragic".

1085
01:17:22,740 --> 01:17:25,340
So they sent every guide
they had into that sector

1086
01:17:25,340 --> 01:17:27,250
until they found the right fortress.

1087
01:17:28,350 --> 01:17:29,610
Sho?

1088
01:17:29,620 --> 01:17:32,120
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm 11, so what?

1089
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,150
His real name is Xo.

1090
01:17:34,150 --> 01:17:36,720
But everyone else calls me Sho,
no big deal.

1091
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:39,690
No. It is a big deal.

1092
01:17:39,690 --> 01:17:43,260
Sho, you're the world's most
badass 11-year-old ever.

1093
01:17:43,260 --> 01:17:44,330
He knows.

1094
01:17:44,330 --> 01:17:46,530
Shut up! Let him tell me.

1095
01:17:46,530 --> 01:17:47,600
Aech!

1096
01:17:51,140 --> 01:17:52,640
We have to go save Samantha.

1097
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:55,200
Well, we can't just go
through the doors of IOI.

1098
01:17:55,210 --> 01:17:57,440
Look, I've been thinkin' about it.
I got a better plan.

1099
01:17:57,440 --> 01:17:59,440
You saw Sorrento's rig, right?

1100
01:17:59,440 --> 01:18:01,540
Yeah.

1101
01:18:01,540 --> 01:18:03,780
Let's go after the man himself and
make him give Art3mis back to us.

1102
01:18:03,780 --> 01:18:05,680
But first, I have to know exactly,

1103
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:07,620
how much about Sorrento's rig
do you remember?

1104
01:18:09,290 --> 01:18:11,520
Kind of everything.

1105
01:18:25,300 --> 01:18:29,140
Maintenance, report to loyalty pod 31-B.

1106
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:37,610
Security, please report
to section 97 for escort.

1107
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,400
Hey! Newbie, get to work.

1108
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:05,140
Get to work.

1109
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:14,110
Work violation. Work violation.

1110
01:19:15,710 --> 01:19:18,750
Lay those charges every six feet.

1111
01:19:23,820 --> 01:19:26,130
Keep it moving!

1112
01:19:27,460 --> 01:19:28,460
Hey, you!

1113
01:19:30,630 --> 01:19:32,460
Those are explosives!

1114
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:37,400
IOI will not reimburse any lost coin
if you zero out.

1115
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,140
Keep it moving!

1116
01:19:43,910 --> 01:19:46,740
So what is this challenge,
some sort of video game thing?

1117
01:19:46,740 --> 01:19:48,840
An Atari 2600, sir.

1118
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:52,580
And every game ever made for it,
thousands of possibilities.

1119
01:19:53,420 --> 01:19:54,780
Come up!

1120
01:19:59,260 --> 01:20:00,720
Halliday,

1121
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:02,660
this is how you plan to resolve

1122
01:20:02,660 --> 01:20:05,890
the fate of the world's most important
economic resource?

1123
01:20:05,900 --> 01:20:07,860
- Call me when you're close.
- Yes, sir.

1124
01:20:07,860 --> 01:20:09,600
Go, go! No! Ahh!

1125
01:20:11,930 --> 01:20:14,900
One minute into "Centipede", the ice broke.

1126
01:20:14,900 --> 01:20:17,170
It has to be "Joust"!

1127
01:20:17,170 --> 01:20:19,910
Halliday still holds the world record
on the 2600 port of that game.

1128
01:20:19,910 --> 01:20:21,910
Maybe we just need to beat his high score.

1129
01:20:21,910 --> 01:20:24,410
"Pitfall"! One of the only 2600 games
that still hasn't ended.

1130
01:20:24,410 --> 01:20:25,840
And how about those "Swordquest" games?

1131
01:20:25,850 --> 01:20:27,750
Yes! The "Swordquest" games.

1132
01:20:27,750 --> 01:20:29,910
They were created for a contest Atari
held with real...

1133
01:20:37,490 --> 01:20:40,490
I-R0k, how are we doin'?

1134
01:20:40,490 --> 01:20:42,760
To be honest, I think I need
physical therapy because it's not...

1135
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:44,770
Is the Orb ready?

1136
01:20:45,770 --> 01:20:47,430
Um, as you wish.

1137
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:52,770
The Orb...

1138
01:20:52,770 --> 01:20:54,170
Of Osuvox.

1139
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:56,210
Ah...

1140
01:20:56,210 --> 01:20:58,280
How does it work?

1141
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,710
Has it got, like, a remote or
is there a button or something?

1142
01:21:01,710 --> 01:21:05,350
Nolan, it's a level-99 magic artifact,

1143
01:21:05,350 --> 01:21:08,950
not one of your drones,
so it is activated by a magic spell.

1144
01:21:08,950 --> 01:21:11,190
Would you care to do the honors?

1145
01:22:02,970 --> 01:22:04,540
Where is she?

1146
01:22:04,540 --> 01:22:05,840
How'd you get in here?

1147
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:06,910
- Art3mis.
- Who?

1148
01:22:06,910 --> 01:22:11,780
Samantha Cook. Where is she?

1149
01:22:11,780 --> 01:22:15,680
If you wanna talk, we can talk,
but you gotta put that gun down.

1150
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,580
You killed my mom's sister.

1151
01:22:18,590 --> 01:22:20,020
You think I won't kill you?

1152
01:22:20,020 --> 01:22:24,420
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just slow down, okay?

1153
01:22:24,420 --> 01:22:27,790
That was a corporate decision.
It was not personal.

1154
01:22:27,790 --> 01:22:28,930
Where is she?

1155
01:22:28,930 --> 01:22:31,460
She's downstairs in the loyalty center!

1156
01:22:31,460 --> 01:22:34,800
I know she's in the goddamn loyalty center.

1157
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,070
You're gonna tell me exactly
which rig she's in

1158
01:22:37,070 --> 01:22:39,610
and the access code to contact her.

1159
01:22:40,710 --> 01:22:42,940
Yeah, that seems appropriate.

1160
01:22:45,810 --> 01:22:47,810
Start with access code.

1161
01:22:49,050 --> 01:22:51,310
6, 45, 7, 25.

1162
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:52,580
Where's the rig?

1163
01:23:03,490 --> 01:23:05,730
I think he pissed himself.

1164
01:23:05,730 --> 01:23:07,730
Good job, Z. We're in his account.

1165
01:23:07,730 --> 01:23:09,470
So he really doesn't know
he's in the OASIS?

1166
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,440
This is what Sorrento should be seeing,

1167
01:23:14,440 --> 01:23:18,670
but this...
This is what we're making him see.

1168
01:23:18,670 --> 01:23:21,740
We grabbed him in transit just as
he was logging out of the OASIS,

1169
01:23:21,750 --> 01:23:24,610
so he thinks he's back in his office
in the real world.

1170
01:23:24,610 --> 01:23:28,450
But actually, he's here,
in the identical office that Aech built.

1171
01:23:28,450 --> 01:23:30,950
So, you basically just remotely
hacked his rig.

1172
01:23:30,950 --> 01:23:33,990
A fixed rig like Sorrento's
is easy to locate, hard to hack.

1173
01:23:33,990 --> 01:23:36,920
Unless he's stupid enough
to leave his password lying around.

1174
01:23:36,930 --> 01:23:38,130
Loyalty center, I'm in.

1175
01:23:38,130 --> 01:23:39,900
All right, let's get to work.

1176
01:23:47,870 --> 01:23:50,000
- Arty.
- Z?   Z?   Z?

1177
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:51,770
Arty, don't say anything.

1178
01:23:51,770 --> 01:23:53,710
I'm tapped directly into your audio feed.

1179
01:23:55,140 --> 01:23:56,840
How did you find me?

1180
01:23:56,850 --> 01:23:58,550
We got his password,
hacked Sorrento's rig.

1181
01:23:59,980 --> 01:24:02,650
Z, I have something to tell you.

1182
01:24:02,650 --> 01:24:04,650
Not now. I have something to show you
that'll get you out of there.

1183
01:24:04,650 --> 01:24:08,120
The Sixers found the third challenge.
It's on Planet Doom.

1184
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:09,650
And there's more,
they just put a force field

1185
01:24:09,660 --> 01:24:11,460
around Anorak's Castle.

1186
01:24:15,900 --> 01:24:18,560
I heard one of the guards calling it
"the Orb of Osuvox,"

1187
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,130
and the only way to take it down
is from the inside.

1188
01:24:21,130 --> 01:24:24,100
She's right. Level-99 artifact,

1189
01:24:24,100 --> 01:24:27,040
creates a magic-resistant,
impenetrable barrier.

1190
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:28,970
No way through it.

1191
01:24:28,970 --> 01:24:30,710
Okay, listen.
That's not important right now.

1192
01:24:30,710 --> 01:24:32,710
What's important is that
we get you out of the rig.

1193
01:24:34,850 --> 01:24:36,950
All right, so I'm looking
at a diagram of your rig.

1194
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:42,120
If you reach up with your left hand
at 11 o'clock,

1195
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:44,090
there's some...
There's a panel above your head.

1196
01:24:48,890 --> 01:24:51,060
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can feel it.

1197
01:24:51,060 --> 01:24:53,100
Okay, there should be two release handles.

1198
01:24:53,100 --> 01:24:54,730
Nine o'clock and three o'clock.
Can you feel them?

1199
01:24:54,730 --> 01:24:56,940
- Yeah, I got it.
- <i>Okay, pull it towards you.</i>

1200
01:24:59,140 --> 01:25:01,040
Okay, inside the panel, there's a lever.

1201
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,600
Grab it with your right hand
and slide it to the left.

1202
01:25:03,610 --> 01:25:05,110
That should release you.

1203
01:25:12,180 --> 01:25:15,120
It worked. It worked, I'm out.

1204
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,050
Loyalty pod 41-F,

1205
01:25:17,050 --> 01:25:19,990
you are on an authorized break
for 10 minutes.

1206
01:25:25,530 --> 01:25:28,700
Pod 41-F, you are on 10-minute break.

1207
01:25:28,700 --> 01:25:30,800
Proceed to break area.

1208
01:25:32,100 --> 01:25:33,470
Wade, are you still there?

1209
01:25:33,470 --> 01:25:34,700
Yeah, I'm here. Where are you?

1210
01:25:34,700 --> 01:25:36,900
Where is Sorrento's office?

1211
01:25:36,900 --> 01:25:38,100
It's in the IOI war room,
two levels above where you are now.

1212
01:25:38,100 --> 01:25:40,110
But that's not the way out.

1213
01:25:40,110 --> 01:25:41,640
What's his password?

1214
01:25:42,980 --> 01:25:44,180
Wade, answer me.

1215
01:25:44,180 --> 01:25:48,110
Okay, it's capital B-0-55-man-69.

1216
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:50,720
But, Arty, you need to go.

1217
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:51,990
You need to raise an army.

1218
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:54,550
An army?

1219
01:25:54,550 --> 01:25:56,150
Get to Planet Doom,
and wait for my signal.

1220
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:57,260
What signal?

1221
01:25:57,260 --> 01:25:59,590
I'm gonna take down that shield.

1222
01:25:59,590 --> 01:26:01,590
Wait, Arty, wait!
You gotta get out of there! Arty!

1223
01:26:09,940 --> 01:26:12,570
Hey, how much are they paying you?

1224
01:26:12,570 --> 01:26:14,140
'Cause, man, I got a lot of paper.

1225
01:26:14,140 --> 01:26:16,740
You know, I can make you, like, a forest.

1226
01:26:16,740 --> 01:26:19,010
Hey, shut up.

1227
01:26:19,010 --> 01:26:20,110
Okay.

1228
01:26:42,770 --> 01:26:45,000
This isn't real, you're tapping my feed.

1229
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,000
Uh-oh. Guys.

1230
01:27:05,550 --> 01:27:08,290
F'Nale, they've hacked my rig.
They're after the girl.

1231
01:27:08,290 --> 01:27:10,560
Meet me at loyalty.

1232
01:27:24,070 --> 01:27:27,670
Pod 41-F,
you have exceeded your break time.

1233
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:31,180
Report to security or your coin count
will be reset to zero.

1234
01:27:40,350 --> 01:27:45,160
So, she just walks out of here,
how does that happen?

1235
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:47,220
They're smart.
They knew what they were doing.

1236
01:27:47,230 --> 01:27:50,260
But we know they're in Columbus.
And now, all five of them are together.

1237
01:27:50,260 --> 01:27:52,760
Wait. Wait, we know what? How do we know?

1238
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:56,330
We have the make and model of the van.
We'll spot them.

1239
01:27:56,340 --> 01:27:58,670
"We'll spot them"?

1240
01:27:58,670 --> 01:28:01,900
That sounds like a great inscription
for our tombstones.

1241
01:28:01,910 --> 01:28:03,240
Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

1242
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:05,040
It wasn't relevant yet.

1243
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:06,240
I need to know where they are.

1244
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:07,840
We need to know. We need to find them!

1245
01:28:07,850 --> 01:28:10,880
They're kids, Nolan. Man the hell up!

1246
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:14,080
Do your job, and I'll do mine,
unless you wanna take this

1247
01:28:14,090 --> 01:28:16,090
and go after them yourself.

1248
01:28:20,690 --> 01:28:21,930
Find them!

1249
01:28:30,940 --> 01:28:35,340
"The Complete Nancy Drew",
Kegel Exercises for...

1250
01:28:37,210 --> 01:28:39,940
Bingo. Okay.

1251
01:28:39,940 --> 01:28:42,210
"Congratulations, you are the proud owner
of the Orb of Osuvox,"

1252
01:28:42,210 --> 01:28:44,140
"a 99th level magic artifact."

1253
01:28:44,150 --> 01:28:46,980
"Read these instructions before deploying.
To turn orb on, off."

1254
01:28:46,980 --> 01:28:48,280
Off! Yes, off.

1255
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:50,750
"Utter spell within 10 feet of orb."

1256
01:29:04,730 --> 01:29:06,930
Citizens of the OASIS,

1257
01:29:06,930 --> 01:29:09,770
I am Parzival, first to the key.

1258
01:29:09,770 --> 01:29:12,810
I'm here talking to all of you now
because our future's being threatened

1259
01:29:12,810 --> 01:29:16,910
by people who will stop at nothing
to win this contest.

1260
01:29:16,910 --> 01:29:18,940
Some of you already know this,

1261
01:29:18,950 --> 01:29:22,910
and you've lost much more
than just your avatars or your weapons.

1262
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:26,790
Some have lost their freedom.
Some have lost their lives.

1263
01:29:29,290 --> 01:29:32,090
And now, this.

1264
01:29:32,090 --> 01:29:35,030
A force field around the third challenge.

1265
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:41,400
I only came here to escape the shitty hand
that life dealt me.

1266
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:44,370
But I stayed, like many of you,

1267
01:29:44,370 --> 01:29:49,470
because I found something
much bigger than just myself.

1268
01:29:49,480 --> 01:29:51,280
I found a cause.

1269
01:29:52,440 --> 01:29:55,710
I found my friends.

1270
01:29:55,710 --> 01:29:59,150
And yes, I know
it's kind of a groaner, but...

1271
01:30:00,480 --> 01:30:02,050
I found love.

1272
01:30:03,350 --> 01:30:04,990
And I don't wanna lose that

1273
01:30:04,990 --> 01:30:07,460
to this colossal douchebag,
Nolan Sorrento.

1274
01:30:07,460 --> 01:30:11,860
This guy. Back to work, people.

1275
01:30:11,860 --> 01:30:16,130
He thinks that we're all too distracted
to even notice...

1276
01:30:16,130 --> 01:30:20,900
Nolan Sorrento thinks
that we won't put up a fight.

1277
01:30:20,900 --> 01:30:22,170
Sir! Sir!

1278
01:30:22,170 --> 01:30:23,970
This is going out live!

1279
01:30:23,970 --> 01:30:26,070
The only thing Halliday let this guy do...

1280
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:27,740
- It's absolutely everywhere.
- ...was get him a cup of coffee.

1281
01:30:27,740 --> 01:30:29,540
And now, we're supposed
to hand him the OASIS?

1282
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:39,250
This Parzival... Oh, man.

1283
01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:45,860
Come on, come on. Give me this thing.

1284
01:30:45,860 --> 01:30:47,000
Yes, sir.

1285
01:30:47,500 --> 01:30:49,830
Left arm.

1286
01:30:49,830 --> 01:30:52,330
- Left arm!
- Sir.

1287
01:30:52,330 --> 01:30:54,330
No, I need the left arm.

1288
01:30:54,340 --> 01:30:56,400
No, I don't care if... I want it on.

1289
01:30:58,510 --> 01:31:01,270
He thinks that
we won't even put up a fight!

1290
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:04,080
Well, I say he's wrong.

1291
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:07,880
I say, tell that to the gunter clans
in the gold mines of Gygax.

1292
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:11,050
Activate the Iron Giant.

1293
01:31:35,210 --> 01:31:40,280
Ask yourselves, are you willing to zero out
for the OASIS?

1294
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:42,150
Are you willing to fight?

1295
01:31:43,410 --> 01:31:46,220
I am Parzival of the High Five.

1296
01:31:46,220 --> 01:31:48,950
In the name of Art3mis,
in the name of Aech,

1297
01:31:48,950 --> 01:31:51,450
in the name of Daito and Sho,

1298
01:31:51,460 --> 01:31:55,220
we ask you to join us on Planet Doom.

1299
01:31:55,230 --> 01:31:58,330
In the name of James Halliday himself,

1300
01:31:58,330 --> 01:32:00,330
help us save the OASIS.

1301
01:32:55,350 --> 01:32:57,520
No, no, no, no.

1302
01:33:07,660 --> 01:33:10,490
"No man is a failure who has friends."

1303
01:33:32,580 --> 01:33:35,550
Squadron 14, armor up, you're in the lead.

1304
01:33:48,700 --> 01:33:53,100
One minute into "Swordquest",
the ice broke.

1305
01:33:53,100 --> 01:33:56,670
Well, all three "Swordquests". What's next?

1306
01:33:56,670 --> 01:33:58,710
"Dark Cavern, Laser Blast".

1307
01:33:58,710 --> 01:33:59,940
It's "Adventure".

1308
01:33:59,940 --> 01:34:02,210
Released in 1979, for the 2600,

1309
01:34:02,210 --> 01:34:04,280
"Adventure" was created by Warren Robinett,

1310
01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:06,450
who was the first video game designer
ever to hide his name. In fact...

1311
01:34:06,450 --> 01:34:08,450
Try "Adventure".

1312
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:11,220
Play "Adventure".

1313
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:05,740
More than a minute, we're still alive.

1314
01:35:05,740 --> 01:35:07,770
This must be the right game.

1315
01:35:14,750 --> 01:35:17,520
How long does it last, this orb thing?

1316
01:35:24,790 --> 01:35:27,760
I'd say about ten...

1317
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:31,130
Yeah, about 10 million years,
so we should be fine.

1318
01:35:48,310 --> 01:35:50,180
First to the key!

1319
01:35:50,180 --> 01:35:51,810
First to the Egg!

1320
01:35:51,810 --> 01:35:53,450
First to the Egg!

1321
01:35:53,450 --> 01:35:54,680

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

1336
01:37:16,290 --> 01:37:18,860
The Sixers are in the final challenge.
It's an Atari 2600.

1337
01:37:18,860 --> 01:37:21,290
Are you in the Sixer war room?

1338
01:37:21,300 --> 01:37:22,900
No, no, no. You gotta get out of there.

1339
01:37:22,900 --> 01:37:25,200
They're playing "Adventure".

1340
01:37:25,200 --> 01:37:27,600
"Adventure", of course!

1341
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:29,400
Created by Warren Robinett!

1342
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:30,740
He was the first designer to ever hide
an Easter Egg in...

1343
01:37:30,740 --> 01:37:31,740
Dude!

1344
01:37:36,780 --> 01:37:39,810
We're looking for a USPS truck,
Ohio plates,

1345
01:37:39,820 --> 01:37:42,820
a drone spitter, 2036 model.

1346
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:04,740
Daito!
When are you getting into this fight?

1347
01:38:18,750 --> 01:38:19,780
I'm out. Inventory's empty.

1348
01:38:19,780 --> 01:38:20,950
Last clip for me.

1349
01:38:20,950 --> 01:38:22,350
More weapons!

1350
01:38:22,350 --> 01:38:24,520
Anti-personnel ordinance cannon!

1351
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:26,460
Anti-personnel ordinance cannon!

1352
01:38:29,430 --> 01:38:30,860
Railgun!

1353
01:38:30,860 --> 01:38:31,900
Railgun!

1354
01:38:37,300 --> 01:38:38,800
Yo, Z!

1355
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:42,640
Yo, Z! Try this little guy.

1356
01:38:46,210 --> 01:38:47,880
Ow!

1357
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:49,720
Get rid of it! Get rid of it!

1358
01:38:50,850 --> 01:38:52,710
It's fucking Chucky!

1359
01:38:57,990 --> 01:38:59,850
Move! Move!

1360
01:38:59,860 --> 01:39:01,560
Go, go, go!

1361
01:39:59,340 --> 01:40:00,910
Mechagodzilla!

1362
01:40:22,030 --> 01:40:25,540
Daito, we need you! Daito, now!

1363
01:40:25,540 --> 01:40:27,770
Get to the bridge.
Go now, he's distracted.

1364
01:40:27,770 --> 01:40:28,770
Go, go, go.

1365
01:41:10,110 --> 01:41:11,110
Z!

1366
01:41:31,030 --> 01:41:32,830
Arty!

1367
01:41:32,830 --> 01:41:34,870
Get to the castle!
Win the third key before they do!

1368
01:41:46,140 --> 01:41:47,840
What is that?

1369
01:41:47,850 --> 01:41:50,020
He's only got 30 seconds
before changing back!

1370
01:42:01,460 --> 01:42:04,330
Daito, abort, abort! You got 10 seconds!

1371
01:42:19,010 --> 01:42:20,010
First to the Egg!

1372
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:00,950
Shit, it's her.

1373
01:43:21,030 --> 01:43:24,170
Arty! Arty!

1374
01:43:24,170 --> 01:43:26,900
Z! Got to get to the castle!

1375
01:43:32,910 --> 01:43:35,480
She never left. She's still here.

1376
01:43:38,250 --> 01:43:40,050
The girl's in the war room.

1377
01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:19,660
No, no, no.

1378
01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:36,140
Sho! Hang on!

1379
01:44:55,790 --> 01:44:57,160
No!

1380
01:45:19,850 --> 01:45:21,750
Arty, we've got this. You need to log out.

1381
01:45:21,750 --> 01:45:24,310
If the game is "Adventure",
why haven't they won yet?

1382
01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:26,180
I don't know. Arty, Arty.

1383
01:45:26,190 --> 01:45:28,120
I'm serious, Sorrento's crazy.
He'll kill you.

1384
01:45:30,350 --> 01:45:32,320
What are you looking at?

1385
01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:34,260
There's nothing over there.

1386
01:45:35,330 --> 01:45:36,530
You're in trouble, aren't you?

1387
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:43,330
Samantha, you know I love you.

1388
01:45:43,340 --> 01:45:44,700
Not the time, Z.

1389
01:45:44,700 --> 01:45:46,270
I can handle the challenge,

1390
01:45:46,270 --> 01:45:49,240
but I can't let you get hurt
in the real world.

1391
01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:52,210
Get out of IOI,
and meet us at River South.

1392
01:45:58,780 --> 01:46:00,310
Wade, no.

1393
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:02,380
You'll forgive me for this, I promise.

1394
01:46:02,380 --> 01:46:03,380
Wade, no, no, no.

1395
01:46:13,630 --> 01:46:17,100
Get it together, Sixer. Back to respawn.

1396
01:46:17,100 --> 01:46:18,230
Let's go, move.

1397
01:46:18,230 --> 01:46:19,640
You're in.

1398
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:40,350
Holy hand grenade! How much did that cost?

1399
01:46:40,350 --> 01:46:42,990
Less than it's gonna cost them.

1400
01:46:44,130 --> 01:46:45,630
What is that?

1401
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:58,740
Sir, the gunters are approaching
the challenge.

1402
01:46:58,740 --> 01:47:00,740
- I-R0k?
- In position, sir.

1403
01:47:00,740 --> 01:47:02,010
Prepare my rig.

1404
01:47:02,010 --> 01:47:04,640
The ice is holding. Still going.

1405
01:47:14,990 --> 01:47:16,320
Wait.

1406
01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:17,320
He's trying to win.

1407
01:47:20,820 --> 01:47:23,360
Yeah! I won.

1408
01:47:26,860 --> 01:47:28,830
He lost.

1409
01:47:28,830 --> 01:47:30,840
Not "Adventure".

1410
01:47:34,970 --> 01:47:39,440
Everyone who wins loses.

1411
01:47:39,440 --> 01:47:42,710
It's not about winning.
It's about playing.

1412
01:47:43,850 --> 01:47:46,350
Remember Halliday's announcement.

1413
01:47:46,350 --> 01:47:48,780
"The keys are invisible, and
they're hidden in a dark room"

1414
01:47:48,780 --> 01:47:51,350
"that's at the center of a maze".

1415
01:47:51,350 --> 01:47:55,020
Well, there's a secret in "Adventure",
and you don't find it by winning.

1416
01:47:55,020 --> 01:47:57,960
You find it by wandering
around in a dark room.

1417
01:47:57,960 --> 01:47:59,460
Until you get to the invisible dot.

1418
01:47:59,460 --> 01:48:01,360
It's pretty easy
if you know what you're doing.

1419
01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:02,430
Really?

1420
01:48:03,330 --> 01:48:05,900
Let me finish it for you.

1421
01:48:09,870 --> 01:48:11,800
It's your last chance, Wade.

1422
01:48:11,810 --> 01:48:14,510
Last chance. Give me the key.

1423
01:48:14,510 --> 01:48:19,750
I give you 50 million
in your account right now.

1424
01:48:19,750 --> 01:48:21,320
Why the hell would I ever do that?

1425
01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:25,250
Dude! That's the Cataclyst.

1426
01:48:25,250 --> 01:48:27,150
Now, personally, I don't care.

1427
01:48:27,150 --> 01:48:28,890
I'd just as soon never set foot
in the OASIS again,

1428
01:48:28,890 --> 01:48:31,060
let alone have to deal
with any of this absurdity.

1429
01:48:31,060 --> 01:48:36,260
But I know how important Halliday's
competition is to you, so...

1430
01:48:36,260 --> 01:48:40,500
I will never let the future of the OASIS
rest in your hands, Nolan Sorrento.

1431
01:48:40,500 --> 01:48:44,540
Well, that's fine. Three easy steps. One.

1432
01:48:44,540 --> 01:48:47,200
Wait, I thought you were bluffing.
You know that kills all of us, right?

1433
01:48:47,210 --> 01:48:49,270
I've got 10 years' worth of shit
inside of me.

1434
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:50,940
Last chance. Two.

1435
01:48:50,940 --> 01:48:52,340
I'm not goin' out like that.

1436
01:48:52,350 --> 01:48:53,880
That's a camper move.

1437
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:55,560
You don't even know
how to activate an orb.

1438
01:49:07,190 --> 01:49:08,260
Yeah, I felt those.

1439
01:49:09,490 --> 01:49:11,760
But this is my world, Sorrento.

1440
01:49:15,530 --> 01:49:16,970
Hadouken!

1441
01:49:36,590 --> 01:49:39,220
- No, no, no!
- Step three.

1442
01:49:39,220 --> 01:49:40,920
No, no, no!

1443
01:50:38,440 --> 01:50:40,110
Get me out of this thing.

1444
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:55,990
Uh...

1445
01:50:55,990 --> 01:50:57,230
Guys?

1446
01:51:03,630 --> 01:51:05,470
Z. He's still alive!

1447
01:51:13,580 --> 01:51:15,380
Extra life.

1448
01:51:17,610 --> 01:51:19,220
Thanks, Curator.

1449
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:23,220
Hold on.

1450
01:51:30,990 --> 01:51:33,590
Live feed in all OASIS channels.

1451
01:51:33,590 --> 01:51:36,200
Halliday's letting everyone watch
the end of the contest.

1452
01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:37,560
That's so Halliday.

1453
01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:39,630
God damn it, we tried "Adventure".

1454
01:51:39,630 --> 01:51:41,400
No, we tried to win it.

1455
01:51:41,400 --> 01:51:43,670
But the hidden room isn't
at the end of the game.

1456
01:51:43,670 --> 01:51:46,610
You've gotta go straight
to the invisible dot at the start.

1457
01:52:00,050 --> 01:52:02,020
Is that her?

1458
01:52:02,020 --> 01:52:05,420
Red hair, IOI uniform,
doesn't know what planet she's on?

1459
01:52:05,430 --> 01:52:06,460
That's her.

1460
01:52:18,300 --> 01:52:21,040
I'm Toshiro. You know me as Daito.

1461
01:52:23,740 --> 01:52:24,980
Oh.

1462
01:52:27,750 --> 01:52:29,150
Hey, Arty.

1463
01:52:31,220 --> 01:52:35,380
Yeah, I know.
Not what you were expecting, huh?

1464
01:52:35,390 --> 01:52:39,920
Yeah, I wasn't expecting
a late '30s-model postal van.

1465
01:52:41,990 --> 01:52:44,160
Wade?

1466
01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:46,130
Wait, I thought the Cataclyst went off.
How are you still playing?

1467
01:52:46,130 --> 01:52:48,630
Extra life, long story. Sorry I shot you.

1468
01:52:50,770 --> 01:52:52,600
Sho?

1469
01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:55,140
What? Do I have to wear a sign saying,

1470
01:52:55,140 --> 01:52:58,270
"I am 11 years old, shoot me first"?
No, thanks.

1471
01:52:58,270 --> 01:53:00,610
- Dude, give me a hug.
- Ninjas don't hug!

1472
01:53:00,610 --> 01:53:02,290
All right, everybody,
hold on to somethin'.

1473
01:53:23,730 --> 01:53:25,200
Got you.

1474
01:53:28,770 --> 01:53:30,670
Come on, Nolan. Pick up.

1475
01:53:32,670 --> 01:53:35,710
F'Nale, tell me something good.

1476
01:53:35,710 --> 01:53:38,280
I've got a drone on their tail. I'm close.

1477
01:53:38,280 --> 01:53:39,550
Send me coordinates.

1478
01:53:39,550 --> 01:53:41,780
Maybe you should leave this to me, Nolan.

1479
01:53:43,550 --> 01:53:46,150
Nolan? Nolan.

1480
01:53:47,620 --> 01:53:48,720
Out.

1481
01:53:57,700 --> 01:54:00,170
Give me that.

1482
01:54:03,670 --> 01:54:05,570
What's goin' on out there?

1483
01:54:09,770 --> 01:54:12,410
The game is over for them.
What are they watching?

1484
01:54:14,710 --> 01:54:17,220
The final key! It's being broadcast.

1485
01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:20,780
You see,

1486
01:54:20,790 --> 01:54:23,690
Warren Robinett was proud of "Adventure".

1487
01:54:23,690 --> 01:54:26,760
He wanted people to know
who was behind it.

1488
01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:29,490
That's why he created
the first digital Easter Egg

1489
01:54:29,490 --> 01:54:32,190
and to find it,
you didn't even have to win.

1490
01:54:32,200 --> 01:54:36,360
You just had to blindly play,
searching around

1491
01:54:36,370 --> 01:54:40,500
in rooms for an invisible dot.

1492
01:54:40,500 --> 01:54:42,870
You took the dot back to the main screen

1493
01:54:42,870 --> 01:54:44,440
and that's when you found

1494
01:54:44,480 --> 01:54:47,710
the first Easter Egg ever put
in a video game.

1495
01:54:47,710 --> 01:54:48,990
The creator's name.

1496
01:55:13,630 --> 01:55:15,730
What's going on, man? I can't see shit.

1497
01:55:15,740 --> 01:55:17,110
Parzival just got the Crystal Key!

1498
01:55:32,420 --> 01:55:34,120
Do you want it or not?

1499
01:55:37,460 --> 01:55:39,560
Aech, what the hell's going on?

1500
01:55:39,560 --> 01:55:41,560
Just practicing my "Mario Kart".
What do you think?

1501
01:55:41,560 --> 01:55:43,600
IOI's trying to kill us, man!

1502
01:55:57,840 --> 01:56:00,180
Everyone watching,
if you're in the Columbus stacks,

1503
01:56:00,180 --> 01:56:02,250
this is Parzival.

1504
01:56:02,250 --> 01:56:04,450
My real-world name is Wade Watts,
and we're gonna need your help.

1505
01:56:04,450 --> 01:56:05,810
Aech, head for the stacks!

1506
01:56:05,820 --> 01:56:08,280
Okay, hold on!

1507
01:56:32,940 --> 01:56:34,880
Stick the key in, how hard is it?

1508
01:56:40,620 --> 01:56:41,780
Come on.

1509
01:56:49,230 --> 01:56:51,230
Yeah! Yes!

1510
01:57:07,470 --> 01:57:08,680
That's it?

1511
01:57:09,510 --> 01:57:11,380
Yeah, that's it.

1512
01:57:11,380 --> 01:57:15,880
Now, you just sign these papers,
and the OASIS is yours.

1513
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:19,990
You will be its sole proprietor.

1514
01:57:19,990 --> 01:57:21,660
That ain't so bad, is it?

1515
01:57:43,510 --> 01:57:44,540
I'm gonna need a second.

1516
01:58:13,040 --> 01:58:15,870
This is wrong.

1517
01:58:15,870 --> 01:58:18,740
This pen, this contract.

1518
01:58:21,980 --> 01:58:23,740
This is the moment
that Halliday made Morrow

1519
01:58:23,750 --> 01:58:26,310
sign over his shares in Gregarious.

1520
01:58:26,310 --> 01:58:28,980
That was the biggest mistake of his life.

1521
01:58:28,980 --> 01:58:30,920
He knew that.

1522
01:58:32,890 --> 01:58:34,920
This can't be the end.

1523
01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:37,830
It's a test.

1524
01:58:42,400 --> 01:58:44,870
I won't make the same mistake you did.

1525
01:58:50,770 --> 01:58:52,640
Oh, good.

1526
01:58:55,340 --> 01:58:58,780
I just needed to be sure.

1527
01:59:12,790 --> 01:59:14,990
This is where you grew up.

1528
01:59:24,070 --> 01:59:27,000
Oh, that's just me a long time ago.

1529
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:30,810
I like to have him around
from time to time.

1530
01:59:30,810 --> 01:59:33,110
Hey, I have to show you something.

1531
01:59:33,110 --> 01:59:34,810
This, uh... Come on.

1532
01:59:34,810 --> 01:59:36,650
This is the button.

1533
01:59:36,650 --> 01:59:39,950
If you push it,
the whole simulation shuts down

1534
01:59:39,950 --> 01:59:43,550
and a tapeworm program will erase
all of the backup servers.

1535
01:59:43,550 --> 01:59:47,120
So you now have the power
to turn the OASIS off forever.

1536
01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:48,890
Do you understand?

1537
01:59:54,130 --> 01:59:55,500
Yeah,

1538
01:59:55,500 --> 01:59:57,460
try not to accidentally erase

1539
01:59:57,470 --> 01:59:59,940
the whole of the OASIS on your first day.

1540
02:00:09,510 --> 02:00:11,010
The stacks are straight ahead!

1541
02:00:27,030 --> 02:00:30,000
Well, I expect you have to go.
I know I do.

1542
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:32,530
So, now is the time for you
to receive your prize

1543
02:00:32,530 --> 02:00:35,070
because you won all three keys.

1544
02:00:35,070 --> 02:00:39,770
Once you take this Egg,
the game will be over.

1545
02:00:39,770 --> 02:00:42,840
The Egg, the Egg...

1546
02:00:50,080 --> 02:00:52,720
We know what you did here.

1547
02:00:52,720 --> 02:00:56,020
You turn around and walk out of here
while you still can.

1548
02:01:08,630 --> 02:01:11,200
I created the OASIS

1549
02:01:11,200 --> 02:01:15,940
because I never felt at home
in the real world.

1550
02:01:15,940 --> 02:01:20,210
I just didn't know how to connect
with the people there.

1551
02:01:20,210 --> 02:01:23,910
I was afraid for all of my life.

1552
02:01:23,910 --> 02:01:26,650
Right up until the day
I knew my life was ending.

1553
02:01:32,090 --> 02:01:37,090
Now, that...
That was when I realized that,

1554
02:01:37,090 --> 02:01:42,200
as terrifying and painful
as reality can be,

1555
02:01:43,270 --> 02:01:47,070
it's also the only place

1556
02:01:48,940 --> 02:01:50,570
that you can get a decent meal.

1557
02:01:57,250 --> 02:01:58,750
Because

1558
02:02:00,280 --> 02:02:02,080
reality

1559
02:02:07,260 --> 02:02:08,920
is real.

1560
02:02:08,920 --> 02:02:10,630
You understand what I'm saying?

1561
02:02:12,260 --> 02:02:15,100
Yes. Yes, I do.

1562
02:02:24,870 --> 02:02:26,140
He did it.

1563
02:02:27,840 --> 02:02:29,110
He got the Egg.

1564
02:02:30,140 --> 02:02:31,180
Hooray.

1565
02:02:32,550 --> 02:02:34,180
- No!
- No! Please!

1566
02:03:07,740 --> 02:03:09,010
Hold it!

1567
02:03:11,080 --> 02:03:14,850
Drop the gun! Now! On the ground!

1568
02:03:14,850 --> 02:03:17,590
Turn around! Hands on your head.

1569
02:03:17,590 --> 02:03:19,160
Walk back towards me.

1570
02:03:34,870 --> 02:03:40,110
Mr. Halliday.
Something I don't understand.

1571
02:03:40,110 --> 02:03:42,850
You're not an avatar, are you?

1572
02:03:43,250 --> 02:03:45,080
No.

1573
02:03:46,620 --> 02:03:48,620
Is Halliday really dead?

1574
02:03:50,290 --> 02:03:51,890
Yes.

1575
02:03:57,630 --> 02:03:59,190
Then what are you?

1576
02:04:02,630 --> 02:04:04,600
Goodbye, Parzival.

1577
02:04:06,270 --> 02:04:07,270
Thanks.

1578
02:04:08,900 --> 02:04:11,110
Thanks for playing my game.

1579
02:04:40,130 --> 02:04:41,230
Wade?

1580
02:04:42,830 --> 02:04:44,770
- Ogden Morrow?
- Ogden Morrow?

1581
02:04:44,770 --> 02:04:46,940
You can call me "Og".

1582
02:04:46,940 --> 02:04:49,900
Now, there are some people out here
that would very much like to meet you.

1583
02:04:49,910 --> 02:04:53,140
Wow, this is incredible.

1584
02:04:53,140 --> 02:04:55,910
It's an honor to meet you, Og, but I...

1585
02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:01,790
There's something I need to do first.

1586
02:05:05,690 --> 02:05:07,260
I'm not like Halliday.

1587
02:05:11,190 --> 02:05:13,260
I'm taking the leap.

1588
02:05:29,710 --> 02:05:32,850
We're looking for Wade Watts.

1589
02:05:32,850 --> 02:05:35,120
We need you to make a statement
about the clip you sent in

1590
02:05:35,120 --> 02:05:37,320
of Nolan Sorrento's confession.

1591
02:05:37,320 --> 02:05:40,050
Uh, that was me.

1592
02:05:40,050 --> 02:05:42,420
What? I record everything in my workshop.

1593
02:05:49,030 --> 02:05:50,900
Help me out of this.

1594
02:05:57,240 --> 02:05:59,340
Who are you guys?

1595
02:05:59,340 --> 02:06:03,840
The people you need right now, lawyers.
From Gregarious Games.

1596
02:06:06,480 --> 02:06:08,310
They want your signature, Wade.

1597
02:06:16,250 --> 02:06:18,520
I'm splitting it with my clan.

1598
02:06:18,520 --> 02:06:20,330
We're gonna run things together.

1599
02:06:24,860 --> 02:06:27,060
That's a good choice.

1600
02:06:54,860 --> 02:06:58,460
F'Nale, listen to me very carefully.

1601
02:07:07,100 --> 02:07:10,040
Mr. Morrow... I mean, Og,

1602
02:07:10,040 --> 02:07:11,540
how'd you get here so fast?

1603
02:07:11,540 --> 02:07:14,240
I flew from the stars on my magic sleigh.

1604
02:07:14,240 --> 02:07:16,810
Everyone's been watching.

1605
02:07:16,810 --> 02:07:20,050
Of course, I've been watching
a little closer than most.

1606
02:07:24,080 --> 02:07:25,980
You?

1607
02:07:25,990 --> 02:07:27,220
You're the Curator?

1608
02:07:30,960 --> 02:07:34,430
Well played, Parzival.

1609
02:07:34,430 --> 02:07:36,460
Jim told me nothing about the contest,

1610
02:07:36,460 --> 02:07:39,830
so there was no rule about me
losing a bet to a smart kid.

1611
02:07:39,830 --> 02:07:42,470
Not that you needed my help.

1612
02:07:42,470 --> 02:07:46,600
You figured out
that Kira was the key on your own.

1613
02:07:46,610 --> 02:07:49,440
Yeah, but... Kira wasn't the key.

1614
02:07:50,580 --> 02:07:52,450
It was you, Mr. Morrow.

1615
02:07:54,580 --> 02:07:56,610
You were the Rosebud.

1616
02:07:56,620 --> 02:07:58,820
And Halliday's biggest regret was

1617
02:08:00,520 --> 02:08:02,120
losing his only friend.

1618
02:08:06,360 --> 02:08:08,490
You know, Jim used to say the OASIS

1619
02:08:08,490 --> 02:08:11,160
was never supposed to be
a one-player game.

1620
02:08:14,870 --> 02:08:17,470
Now, who do we have here?

1621
02:08:17,470 --> 02:08:20,340
Oh. Well, look who it is.

1622
02:08:20,340 --> 02:08:22,100
It's my heroes, the High Five.

1623
02:08:22,110 --> 02:08:23,570
- You must be Art3mis.
- Samantha.

1624
02:08:23,570 --> 02:08:25,510
The High Five took over the OASIS,

1625
02:08:25,510 --> 02:08:27,610
and the first thing we did

1626
02:08:27,610 --> 02:08:30,640
was sign Ogden Morrow
to a non-exclusive consultancy.

1627
02:08:30,650 --> 02:08:33,650
The salary, per his demand,

1628
02:08:33,650 --> 02:08:37,120
was 25 cents. One quarter.

1629
02:08:40,320 --> 02:08:42,520
With his guidance,
our second move was to ban

1630
02:08:42,530 --> 02:08:46,190
any loyalty centers
from accessing the OASIS.

1631
02:08:46,190 --> 02:08:49,430
IOI had no choice. They shut 'em all down.

1632
02:08:52,400 --> 02:08:55,400
The third thing we did wasn't as popular.

1633
02:08:55,400 --> 02:08:59,410
We closed the OASIS
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

1634
02:08:59,410 --> 02:09:01,910
I know, it sounds like a weird move,

1635
02:09:01,910 --> 02:09:04,610
but people need to spend
more time in the real world.

1636
02:09:06,480 --> 02:09:09,550
'Cause, like Halliday said,

1637
02:09:09,550 --> 02:09:13,890
"reality is the only thing that's real".
