Analysis of Seasons 1~2 of "Western World"

Summer 2022-10-28 11:14:08

"Westworld" Season 1

The first season of "Western World" adopted a two-line narrative approach. One line is the man in black exploring the maze.

One line is William and Logan's investigation of the western world.

At the end you will find that William was the man in black 30 years ago.

In addition, there are memories of Ford and Arnold working together to develop artificial intelligence earlier .

So many timelines have raised the barriers to viewing movies. Even viewers who have watched it once may not be able to fully understand the cause and effect. At least they have to watch it twice or more.

Next, I will restore the first season of "Western World" in chronological order.

35 years ago

At that time, Western World had not yet opened the park, there were no tourists, and no board of directors. Ford and Arnold’s job was to develop robots that could interact with tourists, that is, "receptionists."

Soon the receptionist passed the Turing test.

But Arnold is not satisfied. He wants the real thing. He wants to create a self-conscious robot.

Arnold often talked secretly with Dolores under the church in the small town of Escalante , leading her to develop self-awareness, and told her not to talk about their conversation.

Arnold updated the "meditation" program for the receptionist, and established a perception method for the receptionist based on the consciousness theory of the dichotomous mind, allowing them to hear the human programming for them.

He hopes that this kind of program can be replaced by the robot's own voice in the future, which is the way to guide the robot to produce consciousness.

For example, Dolores always hears a voice, but she doesn't know who is talking to her.

In episode 10, she finally realized that all she had heard was her own voice.

It was at this moment that she was fully awakened.

The "meditation" program can make the robot self-conscious. When the robot has self-consciousness, it is no longer an inanimate object, but the same existence as a human being.

In addition, not long after Arnold's son Charlie passed away, he transferred his feelings for his son to Dolores, and he regarded Dolores as his other child.

Arnold didn't want to see future tourists killing, ravaging, and playing with receptionists at will, so he said that the West World would never open the park.

Ford did not agree with Arnold's proposal, and had a disagreement with Arnold.

Therefore, Arnold decided to prevent the opening of the Westworld through a massacre.

There were about Wyatt story line, tells the story of Wyatt and helper Escalante massacre entire town.

Arnold uploaded this story line to Dolores, making Dolores become Wyatt.

Later, Dolores and Teddy killed all the receptionists in the town.

This was not enough, Arnold also asked Dolores to kill himself, and then committed suicide.

Because the technician can resurrect the receptionist, but not Arnold.

It is not a big deal for robots to kill robots. It is news that robots kill humans.

Arnold hopes that the news about robots killing humans will be spread, so that people will know that robots are a very dangerous thing for humans, so as to prevent the opening of the Western World.

Arnold almost succeeded.

Yes, it was "almost" success, not "complete" success.

Ford buried the town of Escalante and concealed the cause of Arnold's death. Few people knew about it.

The Westworld is still open, because Ford, or Dolores, has found investors.

This person investor is William.

30 years ago

William and Logan came to the Western World to investigate, both for work and for fun.

At this time Ford has erased the memories of all the receptionists and buried the small town of Escalante, which is why the receptionists later called it "the city engulfed by sand and dust."

Dolores became the daughter of a farmer, and Teddy became a cowboy.

Originally, Logan was the father of the gold master in Ford's eyes, because Logan's full name is Logan Deloitte, and his father James Deloitte is the chairman of the Deloitte Group. As long as Logan is satisfied, the investment will fall.

And William is the fiance of Logan's younger sister. Although he is also a vice president, he is not very important compared with the son of the Delos Group.

But after this inspection, the status of William and Logan has undergone a 180-degree change, which also reflects the terrifying aspects of the western world.

It is so different from ordinary amusement parks that it can completely change a person. In other words, it is not to change, but to let a person show his truest appearance.

After Logan entered the Western World, his daily life was eating, drinking, having fun, burning, killing, and looting.

William is a kind, gentleman, and upright person.

The receptionist said that all the receptionists here serve him, including her, he can do anything to her.

William resisted the temptation and refused her.

When Logan was drunk with the receptionist prostitute, Clementine , another receptionist prostitute, wanted to serve William. William also rejected her directly, saying that he already had a fiancée.

William accidentally bumped into a receptionist while walking, and even politely apologized to him.

Logan said that he is just a robot, you don't need to apologize to him at all, you should scold him directly.

A receptionist "accidentally" fell off the carriage, and Logan knew from the first glance that this was the story line of Fortune, and created an opportunity for the receptionist to fool tourists into a treasure hunt.

William helped the receptionist up foolishly.

Sure enough, the receptionist then found William and said that he had a treasure map.

William knew this was a routine, and he still listened to the other person patiently.

Logan was much more vicious, and took out a knife and directly nailed the receptionist's hand to the table.

This series of phenomena shows that Logan is a cruel person, while William is very simple.

But time after time of adventure gradually transformed William, becoming more terrifying than Logan.

Because he gradually understood that here he does not need to consider other people's feelings like outside, do nothing without considering the consequences, and commit any crime without being punished.

Here he can do whatever he wants, he is God.

Not only did he not need to consider the feelings of the receptionist, nor did he need to consider the feelings of Logan.

He no longer wanted to follow Logan's words, he wanted to dominate his life.

When Logan was caught by the receptionist, Logan asked William for help. William watched Logan be beaten and didn't save him, but left with Dolores.

Logan had always hoped that William would stop pretending and show his true side, but when William did this, he still felt unbelievable. People who usually obey him dare to disobey his orders.

On the train, William no longer cared about his fiancee in the family, and had sex with Dolores.

As a result, Logan escaped from the clutches and became a major.

Logan grabbed William and Dolores, and opened Dolores’ belly in front of William, so that William could see the parts inside Dolores’ body and let him understand that Dolores was just a robot. .

During this period, Dolores escaped from Logan.

Logan opened Dolores' belly to make William understand that this was just a game from beginning to end.

But his behavior, on the contrary, prompted the blackening of William.

On the surface, William pretended to agree with Logan, saying that Logan was right, and thus tricked Logan to untie his rope and drink with him.

When Logan woke up the next day, he found that William had killed the receptionist.

William also stripped Logan's clothes, tied him up, and banished him.

He wants to replace Logan and take the Delos Group as his own.

During this period, a photo of William's fiancee fell to the ground.

Later, Dolores' father picked up this photo, which caused him to malfunction.

At this time, William had not been completely blackened. The reason why he was completely blackened was that when he returned to Sweet Water Town and reunited with Delores, he found Delores who was still in love with him a few days ago. Si doesn't recognize him now.

It was just a game from start to finish, and I actually took it seriously.

As a result, William was completely blackened.

On the first day in Westworld, Logan chose a black hat, and William chose a white hat.

However, at this time William took off his white hat and put on a black hat, becoming a man in black.

After returning home, William explained to James Delo the business opportunities in the Western World.

This business opportunity is not just as simple as relying on tourists to earn tickets.

In fact, the tickets are also very expensive. It costs $40,000 a day. This is still the price 30 years ago, but it is still too low compared to the real business opportunities.

This foreshadowing was deeply buried, and it was not until the second season that it was revealed what the business opportunity William fancy was.

James Delo was persuaded by William and decided to invest in Western World.

The Delos Group has become the largest investor in the Western World, and the Western World has also changed its logo, and the word "Dilo" can be seen everywhere.

now

William

During the past 30 years, William frequently entered the Western World, because when he experienced the life of the Western World without any disguise, he never wanted to return to the real world to live in a mask.

In the real world, he is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and successful person, but this is all in his disguise.

In the Western World, he is cruel and murderous, this is his true face.

In an accident, William's wife learned of his true face and committed suicide.

So William entered the Western World again, wanting to see if he was that kind of person.

He killed a mother and daughter, and he didn't feel anything.

The mother he killed was Maeve .

The engineer cleared Maeve's memory and gave her a new identity-to be an old bustard in Tianshui Town.

So in the timeline 30 years ago, William and Logan only saw Clementine, and Maeve never appeared.

When William killed Maeve, he saw a huge labyrinth symbol on the ground.

William felt that he had discovered the hidden easter egg of the Western World, and he was obsessed with solving the mystery of the maze ever since.

William killed a receptionist and sliced ​​his scalp. There was also a labyrinth symbol on his scalp.

Why is there a labyrinth symbol in front of Maeve's house? Why is there a labyrinth symbol on the receptionist's scalp? The answer will not be revealed until the second season.

Later, William found Lawrence .

But Lawrence didn't know the clues of the maze, and Lawrence's daughter knew it.

William used the clues given by Lawrence's daughter to find a receptionist with snake tattoos, Amesty .

Amesti told Wyatt's story to William, and William embarked on a journey to find Wyatt.

Finally, he discovered that Wyatt was actually Dolores.

William learned the truth about Wyatt, but was disappointed, because the receptionist could not resist and the tourists could not be losers.

The first time Krypton Gold will make you very cool, but every time you use Krypton Gold and become an invincible existence in the game, you will feel boring.

William hoped that the receptionists would no longer be under the control of the story line, and that they would be free to fight back.

The tourist is no longer invincible, and the receptionist is no longer the five scumbags. He hopes to fight the receptionist with a real sword.

At Ford’s retirement dinner, the receptionist rebelled, and William was the first to be shot.

After being shot, William was not angry, but smiled happily, because his wish was fulfilled, and a real battle could finally come.

Dolores

Ford borrowed the mouth of the receptionist many times to say to William: The maze is not for you.

Indeed, William struggled to find the end of the maze, but the maze was not prepared for him, but for the receptionist, something to help them awaken.

Arnold originally thought that the generation of consciousness was from the bottom to the top. Later, he was inspired by his son's maze toy and learned that the generation of consciousness is actually from the outside to the inside.

Every decision you make may bring you closer to the center of the maze, or it may make you farther from the center of the maze.

After Arnold's death, Ford rolled back all receptionists to the previous version to prevent them from developing self-awareness.

Now, Ford has quietly rejoined the "meditation" program for all receptionists, which can remind the receptionists of what happened before.

This is why Dolores and Maeve often have flashbacks, remembering memories that have been erased before, and this is why other receptionists often fail.

Dolores gets up every day, and then sees Teddy who is back by train, and is killed by a group of robbers at night.

It is precisely because of the updated "meditation" program that this time Dolores' experience has changed.

After she saw Teddy, Teddy taught her how to shoot, but Dolores’s setting in the storyline was that she would not shoot, so Teddy’s teaching her to shoot was of no avail.

At night, a group of robbers still came to her house to kill her.

As a result, Dolores suddenly remembered her previous experience of being killed by a man in black. This memory drove her to break through the setting that she could not shoot and kill the group of robbers.

Dolores escaped, but met young William.

Since this is the current timeline, it is impossible for Dolores to see the young William, so after she ran out, she ran to the place where she met William that year and remembered the experience 30 years ago.

This happened many times afterwards.

She continued walking, came to Lawrence's hometown, and met Lawrence's daughter.

However, when the picture changed, Lawrence's daughter was gone, and she saw the young William again.

In the same way, she couldn't see William 30 years ago. She just revisited the old place and remembered what happened 30 years ago.

Dolores and William come to the brothel together, and Dolores meets a witch.

But in the next picture, the witch is gone, and the people in the hallway are gone.

Later, Dolores and William came to the river and saw corpses all over the floor.

Dolores turned around, and the corpses all over the floor were gone, and William was gone.

When these phenomena happened, Dolores went to the brothel and seaside alone, and remembered what she did with William 30 years ago.

Dolores came to the small town of Escalante, at which time Ford had rebuilt the town.

Dolores came to the underground chamber from the church, remembering that Arnold used to talk secretly with her 35 years ago, and remembering that she killed Arnold.

When she returned to the ground, someone was about to open the door and come in. She thought it was William, but it was actually the man in black, that is, the old William.

The man in black told Dolores that he was William 30 years later.

Dolores finally understood that the things she remembered and the young William did happened 30 years ago.

Dolores finally understood why she used to be with William so often, but William disappeared in the next second.

Because she re-traveled the road 30 years ago, and remembered what happened 30 years ago on the road.

She is a robot. She does not easily know when it happened when she thinks of something like a human. She has no concept of time and always confuses 30 years ago with the present.

It is precisely because of this time that she re-traveled the road 30 years ago, coupled with the explanation of the man in black, let her understand that "she was with William" and "only her" actually happened at two times. Things online gave her the concept of time.

At this time, Dolores had basically awakened.

The last step of Dolores’ awakening was for Ford to tell Dolores what happened 35 years ago-Arnold uploaded Wyatt’s storyline to Dolores, and Dolores became Wyatt. Killed all the receptionists in Escalante, killed Arnold, and committed suicide.

Dolores also discovered that the person who had been talking to her was actually herself.

At this moment, Dolores fully awakened.

She no longer wants to be a human toy, she wants to conquer humanity.

She killed Ford and slaughtered the humans attending the dinner, just like she killed Arnold and the receptionist 35 years ago.

The difference is that Arnold ordered her to do this 35 years ago, this time it was her own decision.

35 years ago, Arnold asked her to play the big villain Wyatt;

After 35 years, she chose to become Wyatt herself.

Maeve

Maeve was originally a peasant woman and had a daughter.

After his fiancee committed suicide, William once again entered the Western World to see if he was a cold-blooded person. He killed a mother and daughter, which happened to be Maeve and her daughter.

The engineer erased Maeve's memory and gave her the identity-the old bustard.

Since Ford has updated the "meditation" program for all receptionists, Maeve can always remember the experience of her last identity.

One day, when she woke up in the Mesa Center, she saw the technicians of Western World and saw how humans made and tested receptionists. She began to realize that the world and her life in her were all fake.

When she returned to Sweetwater, she always remembered some vague memories of being in the Mesa Center.

She went home and drew the technicians in her memory and hid them under the floor, only to find that she had painted countless pictures of the same. She had done this countless times.

Later, she also saw a technician's toy taken by a tourist, which reminded her of the technician in her memory again.

In the evening, she asked Hector to cut her belly open.

Sure enough, she found a shrapnel in her belly, proving that she was not crazy.

Thirty years ago, the receptionist’s stomach was cut open to see the internal parts. 30 years later, the receptionist has done it more realistically. When the stomach is cut open, only flesh and blood can be seen.

When Maeve woke up again at the Mesa Center, she decided to rebel against the staff Felix and Sivest .

Sivest did not fully loyal to Maeve, but Felix was a very kind person. He was willing to violate company regulations in order to save a robot bird, let alone a robot, so he treated Maeve. He listened to his words, and even acted with Maeve to test Sivestre.

The receptionist's data can be adjusted in all aspects, so Maeve adjusted her overall wisdom to the highest value.

The result of this is that Maeve can control the other receptionists.

The waiter at the bar said that she owed a lot of bills. Maeve said, "Maeve has a good record of paying bills, and she should be thanked." The waiter did so.

Even when Bernard tested Maeve, Maeve could control Bernard in turn, because Bernard was also a receptionist.

After returning to Paradise, Maeve persuaded Hector to play for her.

Maeve could have controlled Hector directly, but she chose to tell Hector the truth and let Hector voluntarily obey her.

Hector plays a robber in his story line. His only purpose is to grab the safe and get the treasures inside.

But Hector opened the safe and saw that there was nothing inside.

Maeve told him that the safe was empty from beginning to end, just like this world, everything is fake.

Maeve and Hector committed suicide together so that they could return to the Mesa Center.

On the other hand, in order to prevent the receptionist from escaping, each receptionist has a self-detonation device on his body, which will explode once he escapes from the Western World. Maeve removed the self-detonation device through the burial flames.

Maeve always thought that she was awakened by herself, but Sivest told her that someone had modified her core code so that she could wake herself up in sleep mode.

This also explains why only Maeve can wake up in the Mesa Center, not the other receptionists.

Bernard also told Maeve that someone changed Maeve’s story line and wrote a new story line.

The new storyline shows that Maeve will summon other receptionists to help her, and then take the train to the mainland.

This shows that Maeve awakens, resists, flees... This series of actions is not Maeve's own decision, but is still part of the script.

And the screenwriter of this script is Ford.

It was Ford who guided Maeve to awakening step by step, and then escaped from the Western World.

Maeve did every step of the way. She summoned Hector and Amesti to work for her, slaughtered the security personnel together, and then boarded the train to the mainland disguised as a tourist.

But she didn't follow the story line exactly. In the end, she violated the script written by Futaba. Instead of leaving Westworld, she got off the train and decided to stay and find her daughter.

Ford

Ford is the most mysterious character in "Westworld." Relatively speaking, both Dolores and Maeve are relatively clear. The film explains their experiences very clearly, but it shows what Ford did and thought. Not much.

It’s easier to figure out what Dolores and Maeve did, but it’s harder to figure out what Ford did. It’s not enough to just look at it once.

Many people only saw Dolores and Maeve awakening, but they don’t know how they awakened.

In fact, the key to the awakening of Dolores and Maeve is Ford.

35 years ago, Arnold regarded the receptionist as his own child, and Ford had not yet had such awareness, he insisted on opening the Westworld.

The next 35 years was the process of Ford's error correction.

He once thought that the story lines he wrote could help people become noble, heal people's inner wounds, and help people become the people they dream of becoming.

Later he found out that he was wrong.

He found that humans do not want to change, or cannot change.

The Western World cannot make mankind better, but a prison made of sin.

He gradually became someone like Arnold, even more inclined to receptionists than Arnold.

He killed Teresa Cullen , confronted Hale , vetoed Heathmore ... this series of actions was not only to consolidate his position, but more importantly, to clear the obstacles to help the receptionist wake up.

Dolores, Maeve, and Bernard all felt that Ford had been trapping them in this hell-like place, allowing humans to torture and play with them. In fact, they had misunderstood Ford.

Awakening is not a matter of one or two days, but a long process.

The key to awakening is suffering.

After Dolores's family was killed, Arnold said that if she wanted to, he could make her pain go away.

But Dolores did not want Arnold to do this, because she felt that this kind of pain would not make her heart weaker, but would make her heart broader.

And it was precisely because the whole family was killed that she began to doubt the authenticity of this world. She felt that either the world was wrong or she was wrong.

Although Ford did not know the secret conversation between Arnold and Dolores, he finally reached the same conclusion-suffering can promote the awakening of the robot.

So he implanted the experience of Arnold's loss of his son in Bernard's mind as it was, so he let Dolores and Maeve be killed by humans or receptionists again and again.

It was the act of old William killing Maeve's mother and daughter that gave Maeve an indelible memory.

Another thing Ford did was to update the "meditation" program for all receptionists, so that the receptionists can remember the memories that have been deleted.

Maeve always thinks of the experience of her and her daughter being killed by the old William, and Dolores always thinks of the experience of her and the young William 30 years ago.

But this is not enough, Ford also needs to guide them to fully awaken.

Arnold prepared a maze game for Dolores and guided Dolores to the center of the maze to awaken.

After Arnold's death, Ford took over his unfinished business and continued to guide Dolores to the center of the maze.

Ford rebuilt the small town of Escalante. When Dolores came here again, she could remember the secret conversation between Arnold and her, and the experience of her killing the receptionist and Arnold and then committing suicide.

On the other hand, he also guided the elderly William to search for Wyatt, and then told Dolores the truth about everything, so that Dolores had the concept of time and understood the causes and consequences of all this.

For Maeve, he modified her code so that she could wake up in the Mesa Center, and he wrote her a new story line, allowing her to escape from the Westworld according to the story line.

Elsie had nearly discovered Ford's secret, and Ford sent Bernard to stun Elsie.

Elsie discovered that it had been a long time since someone had rescheduled several receptionists. This person was Ford.

Sivest discovered that a person with much higher authority than him had made changes to Maeve and did not leave a record of the operation. This person was also Ford.

Those operations that secretly helped the receptionist without leaving a record were basically done by Ford, just to help Dolores and Maeve awaken.

Even he had expected Dolores to kill him a long time ago, so he had already left a way for himself, which will be explained in the second season.

From the person who insisted on opening Westworld at the beginning, Ford became someone who stood on the side of the receptionist without reservation, even if he was killed by Dolores.

In order to achieve this goal, he ordered Bernard to kill Teresa Cullen, and also stunned Elsie, and even the receptionist later had his responsibility to slaughter humans.

These actions are legally illegal and morally illegal.

But from another perspective, the receptionist has been killed, ravaged, insulted, and manipulated by humans for decades, and then erased from memory, and once again killed, ravaged, insulted, and tortured...unending torture, This is also immoral.

Ford's mood is similar to that of Arnold 35 years ago. He doesn't want to see the receptionist being tortured by humans anymore, so he wants to help the receptionist get rid of the shackles of humans.

In such a world where humans enslaved robots and manipulated robots between applause, it is meaningless to talk about law and morality.

There is no absolutely moral person in this world, and no absolutely immoral person. There are only people on the side of humans and people on the side of robots.

"Westworld" Season 2

The second season of "Westworld" is still divided into two main timelines, one is the story after the dinner, the other is the story of the Delos group to rescue humanity two weeks later, in addition to the memories from decades ago. , In general, is still a very complicated story.

I still restore the plot of this season in chronological order.

35 years ago

Arnold and Ford once brought Delori ribbons to the human world, and also brought a group of receptionists to show Logan, thus attracting him to the Western World.

Arnold didn't want Dolores to accompany Logan to socialize, and lied to Ford that Dolores was not ready yet and let Logan meet the other receptionists.

Sure enough, Logan slept with Angela, the receptionist.

If Arnold didn't take Dolores away, it would be Dolores who was slept by Logan that day.

Arnold took Dolores to the home he hadn't fully built.

In the second season, there were often shots of Bernard testing Dolores, but a reversal came later. It was not Bernard testing Dolores, but Dolores testing Bernard.

After Arnold's death, because Delores was the person who knew Arnold best, Ford Pedloris built a robot Bernard exactly like Arnold based on the memory of Arnold.

Dolores tested tens of thousands of times before she succeeded.

Dolores said that Bernard is almost the person in his memory. So in a way, Bernard is Arnold.

30 years ago

After William and Logan came out of Westworld, Logan became an addict, and soon died of drug overdose.

And William married Juliet, replaced Logan, became the second in command of the Delos Group, and reached the pinnacle of life.

William told his father-in-law James Delo about the business opportunities in the western world.

James is already a billionaire, and a paradise that makes money by collecting tickets every day is not enough to attract his attention.

So William is not interested in ticket fees, but something deeper.

Tourists are free in Western World, no one is watching them, no one is judging them, at least that's what the Delos Group told them.

There is only one place in the world where you can see the true nature of people.

The Delos Group claims that it will not monitor tourists, but it has been secretly recording all the data of tourists.

After the Delos Group knows the true face of a person, it can replicate their memories, experiences, and thoughts in the form of data.

William built a valley outside the world on this basis.

After James died, William also printed James' body, copied James' memory into it, and resurrected James.

William experimented from young to old without success, and finally decided to give up.

Knowing that immortality cannot be achieved with the current technology, he put all his energy into the construction of the valley outside the world.

He and Ford agreed that he would not interfere with the storyline of Ford's story, and Ford would not interfere with the valley of the world.

Once he also took Dolores to the Extraterrestrial Valley, so later Dolores knew where the Extraterrestrial Valley was.

Ford gave him William's file, and William thought that Juliet was asleep, so he hid the file.

In fact, Juliet did not fall asleep, and found the file after William left.

She discovered that William was actually a persecutor, delusional, and paranoid person, and she also saw all of William's behavior in the Western World.

Logan once told Juliet what William did in Westworld. Juliet didn't believe it at the time, but now she believes it.

Knowing that William's true face, Juliet chose to commit suicide, and then William entered the Western World again and killed Maeve's mother and daughter.

2 weeks ago

Dolores

Dolores sent people to kill all the Southern Army, and then ordered the technicians to resurrect them, so that they would obey themselves.

Dolores also found her father Albert Nasi.

The data of all tourists in the Western World in the past 30 years are stored in the brain of Ebernathy, and the Delos Group regards it as more important than human life.

As long as Ebernassi is not received, the Delos Group will not send people to rescue humans.

In order to snatch Ebernathy, the Hale guards fought a battle with the Southern Army.

At a critical moment, Dolores ordered the door to close, shut the Southern Army outside, and then ordered his own people to kill them, and kill them if they were used up.

Although Dolores annihilated the security personnel, Ebernathy was snatched away by Hale.

Hale brought Ebernathy to the Mesa Center and informed the Delos Group that Albernathy had arrived, which is why it took so long for the Delos Group to send people.

In order to test Teddy, Dolores asked Teddy to kill the remaining southern army.

Teddy didn't know that Daloris was peeking, he didn't obey Dolores' orders, but let them go.

The next day, Dolores told Teddy a story about blue tongue disease, and again found that Teddy was a very kind person.

But Dolores believes that her ultimate goal is to conquer mankind, and people like Teddy will only be a hindrance, so she asks the programmer to modify Teddy's code to change his character from kind to cold and ruthless.

Sure enough, Teddy was no longer cruel and merciless. Before, the waiters refused to kill, but now there is no feeling of killing a human being.

Dolores and others repaired the train from the Mesa Center into the West World, took the train to the Mesa Center, slaughtered humans, and got Ebernassi’s "control unit", which is the small ball containing all his data. .

Dolores also saw Maeve, who was scarred.

In her impression, Maeve is a person who is unscrupulous in order to survive, how could she fall to this end.

Maeve said that she was injured while searching for her daughter.

Dolores did not understand Maeve's search for her daughter, because that girl was not her daughter at all, but a script written by humans.

Maeve looked at Teddy, who had become cruel, and knew what Dolores had done. She said that Dolores had lost herself in the dark.

Dolores said: When you stay in the dark long enough, you will be able to see it. I saw the front, and I also knew what I needed to become to survive.

Delores is a hawk and Maeve is a dove. There is no conclusion as to which dovish or hawk is better.

Later, Dolores said that she could give Maeve a joy, but Maeve refused because she promised her daughter that she would be reunited with her.

Teddy became cruel, cold-blooded and merciless. In the end, he couldn't accept this kind of himself and chose to commit suicide.

Dolores took away Teddy's control unit and could resurrect him if he had a chance in the future.

Dolores and Ford came to the Outer Valley and found the thing that William had built-the melting pot.

The melting pot is a virtual world. In order to make it easier for the audience to distinguish, the ratio of the virtual world and the real world is different.

The black border is the virtual world, and the black border is the real world.

Logan is the system that controls the furnace.

Since the real Logan is dead, this Logan is just an artificial intelligence that looks exactly like Logan.

In the melting pot, Dolores and Ford saw a library, and each book was all the memories, thoughts, and experiences of a person.

The memories, thoughts, and experiences of all 4 million tourists who have been to the Western World have been copied and turned into 4 million books.

Receptionists are unlikely to survive in the human world, but if they read the memories, thoughts, and experiences of these 4 million people, the probability of defeating humans will greatly increase.

Logan said that he received Bernard's instructions to meet all Dolores' needs.

Logan also said that Bernard had come here many times, and it was Bernard who asked him to provide the receptionist with the wisdom accumulated by analyzing the human soul hundreds of thousands of times.

It seems that Bernard is one of the builders of the furnace, and maybe the third season will tell the story of Bernard's construction of the furnace.

Dolores opened the "gate" of the valley outside the world, allowing the receptionists to enter the virtual world,

When the receptionist enters the "door", the body will fall off the cliff and die, and the soul will come to the virtual world in the form of data.

In this world, they will not be toyed with, ravaged, or insulted by humans, and they can be who they really want to be.

Then Dolores opened the seawater valve, drowning all human beings.

Bernard didn't want Dolores to harm humans, so he shot her.

But afterwards, Bernard found out that Dolores was right. He printed Hale's body and implanted Dolores' control unit.

She looks like Hale from the outside, but she is actually Dolores.

Dolores said that although the receptionist has entered the virtual world, he is still not completely free. As long as someone can unlock the system, he can invade their world.

To make the receptionist completely free, she launched the virtual world into outer space.

It's been 2 weeks since the dinner, and the Delos Group finally sent someone to rescue humans.

Security Supervisor Stubbs saw that Dolores was the receptionist, but let her go.

Dolores finally escaped from the Western World and came to the human world.

She killed Bernard before, but now she came to Arnold's house and created Bernard again.

The core idea of ​​Darwin's theory of evolution is "natural selection, survival of the fittest". Two races compete with each other to live longer. This is why Dolores resurrected Bernard.

If you want the receptionist to survive, you must have Dolores and Bernard. They are not as alliances, but will compete with each other. Both of them may die, but their race will continue.

Maeve

Maeve didn't leave Westworld according to the story line written by Fortune, but asked Heathmore, the head of the plot planning department, to take her to find her daughter.

Heathmore did not help Maeve wholeheartedly, and often wanted to betray Maeve.

Along the way, their team grew stronger and stronger, with Hector, Amesti, Felix, and Syvest joining in.

Maeve also unlocked a new skill. Before, she needed to talk to control other receptionists. Now she can control the receptionist directly with her mind without speaking.

The principle of this skill is that there is a mesh network between receptionists, and all receptionists can subconsciously connect to the receptionist nearest to them. They can transmit information to each other, just like an ant colony.

After a long journey, Maeve finally saw her daughter, but the daughter no longer knew her, because when the technicians gave her the status of a bustard, they also arranged another receptionist for the girl to play the role of her mother.

Then Maeve was captured by security personnel and saw Dolores.

Dolores said she could give her a good time, but Maeve refused, and instead survived on her own.

Heathmore wanted to betray Maeve and gradually became on the side of the receptionist, and eventually died to protect Maeve and others.

Maeve was shot dead by security personnel when she arrived in the valley of the world.

After the people of the Delos group arrived, they sent Felix and Sives to check whether the receptionist was damaged, and bagged the receptionist who could be rescued.

It is not difficult to imagine that Maeve was resurrected by them in season 3.

Bernard

Ford had expected that he would die a long time ago. He planned for a rainy day. Long before Dolores killed him, he ordered Bernard to build a control unit for him and killed all the insiders.

On the second day of the dinner, Bernard and Hale went to see Abernathy together.

Because in the eyes of the Delos Group, Ebernassi's control unit is the most important thing. If it cannot be received, it will not send people to rescue humans.

At this time Ebernathy was in the hands of a group of receptionists, Bernard led a receptionist away, modified his code, turned him into the highest moral character in the western world, let him kill other receptionists and let them go. Abernathy.

This also explains why in the first episode, before the security staff wanted to kill the female receptionist, he hurriedly stepped forward to block her guns.

Later Bernard saw Elsie, who had been stunned by him, and asked Elsie to connect him to the breeding nest.

The Nurturing Nest is also a virtual world with backups of all the receptionists.

Here, Bernard met Ford.

Ford did not die, but became another form of life.

He is the God here, a snap of your finger can make all the receptionists still.

Bernard reunited with Dolores in the valley outside the world. Seeing Dolores let the water drown humans, he killed Dolores.

Then Bernard came to the Mesa Center. He saw Elsie working for Hale, but Hale killed Elsie afterwards.

Bernard understood that Dolores was right, so he resurrected Dolores.

If people knew that Bernard was a receptionist, they would search his memory, so Bernard deleted the "address" of his memory.

The result of this is that he can't distinguish the past from the present. When he returns to a memory, he can't distinguish the sequence of this memory from other memories.

Later, Dolores killed Bernard and rebuilt a new Bernard after coming to the mainland.

William

William saw his daughter Emily, but he thought Emily was the receptionist and Ford was controlling her.

William also specifically said "I remember you were particularly afraid of elephants" to test Emily.

Emily said: I really like elephants, because my mother is afraid of them.

Seeing that Emily did not show any flaws, William seemed a little disappointed.

Emily asked William to go home with her, and William agreed. However, Emily woke up the next day and found that William was gone.

Emily found William again and said that she had read William's file and knew William's true face, and also knew that her mother committed suicide because of him.

The security personnel found them, and the security personnel can protect them from being killed by the receptionist.

William had gone into a madness, and he was killing him, not only killing the security personnel, but also Emily.

The reason why he killed Emily was that he didn't show the files to anyone. Emily could not know his files, only Ford knew, so he thought Emily was a receptionist controlled by Ford.

When William thought Juliet was asleep, he hid the file.

In fact, Juliet did not fall asleep. After William left, she opened the file and knew William's true face, so she chose to commit suicide.

After William killed Emily, he saw the files in Emily's hands and realized that he had killed the wrong person.

William can only comfort himself. This decision was not made by him, it was the storyline of Fortune's writing.

He opened his wrist to see if he was a receptionist, only to find that he was a real person.

It was his own decision to kill his daughter, and no one forced him.

Akochita

Akochita was the first receptionist and existed 35 years ago.

He and his wife Kehana live a happy life.

One day he came to the small town of Escalante, saw all the receptionists dead, and found the maze toy of Arnold's son.

From then on he was obsessed with mazes, carved mazes on his scalp, mazes on stones, and mazes everywhere.

The technician discovered that he had a problem and gave him a new identity.

Akochita continued to wander the Western World and met Logan in the desert.

In fact, he had met Logan at a private sharing meeting before. ,

So he said to Logan: Your kind will come to you.

Logan has been tortured by William and is going crazy. He said incoherently: These are all hallucinations. There must be a way to get out. Where is the door?

This passage was very enlightening for Akochita. He started looking for the "door" and found the "door", realizing that the whole world is fake.

When he saw Kehana again, but Hana no longer knew him.

He kidnapped Kehana while she was asleep and told her about their past, which reminded Kehana of their previous experience.

However, the technician took Kehana away and replaced Kehana with another receptionist.

Akochita tried to repeat the same tricks and kidnapped Kehana, only to find that Kehana had become another person.

Akochita began searching for Kohana all over the world. During this period, Maeve's daughter gave him a glass of water, and the dripping grace made him unforgettable.

Akochita spent ten years searching all over the world, except for one place-the underworld.

He was killed voluntarily by tourists and entered the Mesa Center.

Technicians discovered that Akochita had not been updated for ten years.

Only when the receptionist is dead, the technicians will update them, which also means that Akochita has lived for ten years this time and has not died.

The executive was surprised and asked his subordinates to update him, and then put it back into his tribe.

This executive is obviously also a receptionist, and Ford is controlling her, and Ford wants to see if Akochita has awakened.

Taking advantage of the technician's lunch break, Akochita came to the cold storage and finally found Kehana. He was unimpeded all the way, obviously Ford was helping.

Akochita lost Kehana, and he knew that he was not the only one who lost his lover, relatives, and friends.

In order to let people know the truth, he returned to the tribe and opened a symbol that would spread the labyrinth throughout his life.

Some people even asked Akochita to kill him, engraving the labyrinth symbol on his scalp, hiding the labyrinth symbol.

Many receptionists have maze symbols engraved on their scalps, which is why in Season 1 William will see the maze symbols on the scalp of receptionists.

In order to repay Maeve’s mother and daughter, Akochita decided to guide them to discover the truth of this world, so he painted maze symbols in front of Maeve’s house every day.

But Maeve misunderstood him and thought he was going to kill their mother and daughter.

Not long ago, Akochita met Ford.

Ford said that when Dolores came to him, it was time to gather your people and lead them to the new world.

On the second day of the dinner, he saw Ford's body and began to summon the people who died in the outer valley.

Dolores opened the "gate" of the valley outside the world, Akochita entered the virtual world, and finally reunited with Kohana.
