She risked herself for me.

Some things are worth the risk.

KEVIN:
Look at this.

Now, that is impressive

if I do say so myself. Huh?

Come on, it's gonna take a while

for her system to reboot.

Now it's time for you to tell me a story.

CLU:
The boy and Flynn are gone.

CASTOR:
I presume, Your Excellency,

they perished in the elevator.

You presume?

Find them.

SAM:
Icecaps are melting,

war in the Middle East,

LakersICeltics back at it.

I don't know. Rich are getting richer,

poor are getting poorer.

Cell phones, online dating, Wi-Fi.

- KEVIN:
What's Wi-Fi?

- Wireless interlinking.

- Of digital devices?

- Yeah.

Hmm. I thought of that in '85.

(LAUGHS)

Mom and Dad are...

- I assume that...

- Yeah.

Oh.

Mac when I was 12

and Gram five years later.

You remember that night

when you didn't come home?

- Well...

- You said...

I said I'd show you the Grid.

You should have seen this place

back then.

I couldn't wait to show it to you.

Could not wait.

SAM:
Must have been something

before Clu screwed it up.

No, no, he...

He's me. I screwed it up.

Chasing after perfection.

Chasing after

what was right in front of me.

Right in front of me.

Look what you've accomplished.

It's incredible.

Sam,

I'd have given it all up

for one more day with you.

(SIGHS)

Hey.

Remember your old Ducati?

You kidding? Not a day goes by

I don't think about that bike.

- Yeah, well, I'm fixing her up.

- You busted my bike?

Twenty years in the shed, no tarp.

I mean, she needed a little love.

(LAUGHS)

How does she run?

Well, when I'm done, better than ever.

Well, man, I'd like to see that.

You will.

Here.

She's rebooting. Give her this.

The old man's gonna knock on the sky,

listen to the sound.

CASTOR:
When Flynn

entered the space,

ah, everything changed.

I've never seen anything quite like it.

The awe was

palpable.

- Was it?

- I presume

our understanding is still valid?

Control of the city?

A sizeable request, I know.

But seemingly fitting compensation.

Don't you think?

How long have you been

searching for this, Clu?

About 1 ,000 cycles. No?

Just imagine the secrets it holds.

(LAUGHS)

The master key to any and all riddles

of the Grid, Grid, Grid, Grid...

But there's something else, too.

Isn't there?

I've heard the chatter

about this private initiative.

I realize that our alliance is,

at times,

uneasy.

But always necessary.

You know you need me

right where I am.

Clu?

Of course you're right.

Enjoy the drink.

(BEEPING)

(CLU LAUGHS)

End of line, man.

(BEEPING)

- (GASPS)

- Hey. It's okay. We're safe for now.

We're heading east towards the portal.

Clu has the disk.

Once I get out, I can shut him down.

I should never have sent you to Zuse.

It was a mistake.

It's okay. I've made a few myself.

Where is he?

SAM:
I think he's knocking on the sky.

QUORRA:
And listening to the sound.

Yeah.

How did you find him?

It's okay.

I know.

QUORRA:
It was during the Purge.

Clu was relentless.

The Black Guard were executing ISOs

in the streets.

Everyone I knew disappeared.

Then they came for me.

So I ran.

A sympathetic program

smuggled me out of the city.

But soon they had me surrounded.

I prepared for the end.

And just as everything was going dark,

I felt a hand on my shoulder.

And when I opened my eyes,

standing above me was the Creator.

Your father.

He saved me.

I guess you could say I'm a rescue.

SAM:
Hell of a view.

QUORRA:
It used to let us know

that Flynn was here.

It became the symbol

of something bigger,

something better than this world.

I've never been this close before.

It's how I imagine a sunrise to be.

Ah, trust me. There's no comparison.

What's it like?

- The sun?

- Yeah.

Man...

(SIGHS)

I've never had to describe it before.

Warm.

Radiant.

Beautiful.

(QUORRA LAUGHS)

(RUMBLING)

Get below! Move!

This isn't supposed to be here.

- What happened?

- A new course.

What is this?

Clu can't create programs.

He can only destroy or repurpose them.

Repurpose them for what?

COMPUTER:
Battalion 6,

report to Staging Area Alpha.

He's building an army.

Let's go.

COMPUTER:
All high-level functions,

report immediately to combat stations.

- Goodbye.

- Quorra!

- What's she doing?

- Removing herself from the equation.

Tron.

KEVIN:
He's alive.

COMPUTER:

Throne ship is approaching.

- We can't just let her go.

- No, Sam, there's another way.

Throne ship is approaching.

JARVIS:
Well done, sir.

JARVIS:
I've never seen anything like it.

Humbly, sir, I know

you have greater designs

than any of us understand.

What does it do?

She's gonna wind up like one of them.

Keep moving, Sam.

(PROGRAMS CHANT)

You are a very rare bird,

aren't you, now?

Where's your disk?

Where is he?

It must have been so lonely out there.

How tragic to be the only one.

I've seen what users

are capable of, Clu.

You don't belong with them.

I have something very special

in mind for you.

Take her upstairs.

And find them.

You'll have to excuse me. You arrived

just as I was preparing a little toast.

(PROGRAMS CHANT)

- Greetings, programs!

- (PROGRAMS CHEER)

Together we have achieved

a great many things.

We have created a vast, complex

system. We've maintained it.

We've improved it.

We have rid it of its imperfection.

Not to mention

rid it of the false deity

who sought to enslave us.

Kevin Flynn!

- Where are you now?

- (PROGRAMS BOO)

(LAUGHS)

My fellow programs,

let there be no doubt

that our world is a cage no more.

For at this moment,

the key to the next frontier is finally

in our possession!

(PROGRAMS CHEER)

Your disk.

CLU:
And unlike our selfish Creator,

who reserved the privilege of our world

only for himself,

I will make their world open

and available to all of us!

(PROGRAMS CHEER)

Yes!

To all of us!

SAM:
He's taking all of this with him.

He's figured out how to do it.

CLU:
And whatever we find there,

there our system will grow!

There our system will blossom!

Do this.

Prove yourselves.

Prove yourselves to me!

Be loyal to me!

And I will never betray you!

(PROGRAMS CHEER)

Dad, we have to get your disk.

We gotta get to the portal.

You shut them down outside.

Even if I make it, you won't

last in here, nor will Quorra.

- We'll be all right. Come on.

- I'm not going home without you.

Sam...

The same team.

Remember?

I was afraid you were gonna say that.

Meet me on the flight deck in five

and get us some wheels.

Wheels? What's your plan?

I'm a user. I'll improvise.

CLU:
Maximize efficiency.

Rid the new system of its imperfection!

My vision is clear, fellow programs.

Out there is a new world!

Out there is our victory!
