-Get out of here. -(GASPS) WOMAN 1: What a freak! WOMAN 2: I thought he was kind of cute. ART3MIS: Have you been here before? It's cool, right? I mean... -(PHONE RINGING) -So, what's the plan? Are you gonna kill their avatars? Zero them out? They're both here at The Distracted Globe. I can't talk. ART3MIS: The Distracted Globe was one of the first clubs Halliday created in the OASIS. That's common knowledge. But I double-checked and it turns out he started building it right after that moment you showed me. The date with Kira. Right, and she was a serious dancer. Maybe he thought he'd take her here, like on a virtual date. As if that ever works. So Halliday built it for her? But they never made it past the first date. So Halliday's the creator... Who hates his own creation. And the club is the thing he hates. And "A hidden key, a leap not taken"?

MORROW: This is great. The way your inventory bursts out when you die. HALLIDAY: They didn't want any more blood. ART3MIS: This is right before the OASIS went live. Six days prior. December 2nd, 2025. Check this out. You know who that is?

Is that Sorrento? WADE: Sorrento started as an intern. He claims he learned at the feet of the master. That's how he convinced IOI to create the Sixers for him, his Halliday knowledge. But ask Ogden Morrow? He says the only thing Sorrento actually knew about Halliday was how he liked his coffee. You could have, like, different tiers of accounts, like a gold member. A person could be silver, platinum, bronze. You know, depending on what they paid. You know, highest one maybe being "Water" because "OASIS," right? Hell of a latte. Can you fast-forward to the stuff about Halliday's date? What? Halliday actually went on a date?

Look. Ticking clock. Okay, so I'm estimating about five minutes to find the key. Yeah, there are so many keys The Shining, though. Where do we start? I've never seen The Shining. Is it really scary? Uh, I had to watch it through my fingers. WADE: Okay, so we got the key from room 237, the keys to the Snowcat, or the keys they give Jack at the beginning of the movie. ART3MIS: Well, if it's "the leap not taken," maybe the key isn't a key at all. SHO: I know where the Snowcat keys are! WADE: I say we split up. We get all the keys and then we meet back at the Torrances' apartment.

We've been thinking about it too literally. "The leap not taken," the leap Halliday didn't take, is with Kira. Yeah, but... I mean, he blamed her for breaking up him and Morrow. No. Halliday was madly in love with her. He had a chance with Kira. He had a chance to kiss her, but-- He didn't take the leap. Right. So that's where we go next. The place where the leap wasn't taken. Where the date was. At the movies! -(THUNDER RUMBLING) -Hey, Curator. We figured out the second clue. The challenge is here. Halliday kept track of every movie he ever watched, the week and the year he watched it, and how many times. Curator, can we see November 23 to 27, 2025? That's the week he went on the date with Kira.
