Alan Wake 2: All Live Action Cutscenes

[Music] [Music] come on good to see you Alan great to see you're welcome back to the show come on come on sit down sit down sit down wo oh man it is so good to see you Alan this must be an exciting time for you tell me does it ever get old so does what get old publishing a new book are you okay there my friend you look like you've been cooped up in the writer's room for a few too many years years this is exactly how I feel you know I've waited so long to get my hands on the sequel to departure you left us on quite the Cliffhanger we've all been dying to know what it's not a lake it's an ocean really means you and me both well our wait is over your new book initiation hits the shelves tomorrow what that's exactly what every reader will be asking this book is mindbending it's so cerebral I mean how would you describe it an autofictional thought experiment a Horror Story a postmodern detective story wait this isn't right I I haven't written anything he's so hum okay you got me good prank very funny but yeah I sad to say I I've not written this I'd remember if I'd written WR a book right or maybe it was written by your evil double well played man that is spoton playing the role here pretending the world of the book overlaps our own that's very meta indeed you see initiation tells the story of a fictional writer named Alan Wake who is trapped in a nightmare desperately trying to find the manuscript of a novel he has forgotten he has written the book is set New York but it might not be New York at all he is tormented by his dark doppelganger and guided by visions of a fictional detective he has written that's right Alex Casey is in this book as well I guess we'll just keep doing this the whole show the jok's on me but isn't that what you sign up for with autofiction well but seriously I found the the structure of the reality you build in the book f fascinating it reminded me of the Matrix I mean the writer is physically in his writer's room trapped there and he projects himself out to this dark dream of New York through the story he is writing like astral projection did I get that right yeah that's exactly right go on I should be taking notes here this is great stuff notes to that other alen W in that room writing this as we speak are we all in your story Alan wow no I I I I wish you every success with your new book Alan I hope it's a successful as your bestselling Alex Casey series initiation hits the shelves tomorrow after this I'm sure we'll all be eagerly awaiting the culmination of this hero's journey Trilogy of yours a book called called return perhaps man thank you for one of the strangest interviews of my entire career alen all this talk of Mana narratives have to expect them to disappear once the scene ends welcome back to the show so Alan as the uh creator of the character how do you feel about this sorry what I know it can be an awkward question with the man sitting right next to you but how do you feel about him in the role of Casey does he look the part to you he looks exactly like I always imagined Casey to be it's uncanny thank you that means so much to me I'm a huge fan of your books so uh what's the problem Alan because on more than one occasion you voiced your reservations about the adaptations it it's not that they're their own thing they've gone with choices that are different from mine I I I feel protective about my stories and these adaptations I don't know I I guess I just wish I could have been more involved in making them well in that case you won't have seen this either we have a clip from the new film murder case Casey should we roll it or do you want to say something first Sam nah just roll [Applause] it this city was an old scar that refused to heal the rain made it Fester it needed the Sun but there was only the night I was tired and insomnia covered me like a plastic film I was watching the world through a rain slick window my own reflection haunting The View I was trying to track down a missing writer my only clue was a table lamp shaped like an angel the only thing to shed light on this sorted mystery that's great murder case Casey great job Sam very exciting and very mattera I'm looking forward to seeing more wait stop what was that about a riter about a [Music] [Music] lamp I sat in the writer's room and wrote a story initiation to project myself through the dark place to look for a way out the story it brought me here brought me nowhere loot me back I was writing the story and in the story I now stepped into the writer's room but there was no one he writing [Applause] [Music] the champion of I'll show you the of never ending now [Music] TI and to the [Music] Sur in this Temple of Shadow and Mist there's a window in the floor and a door in the

it's it's companion piece my film sharing our our life altering Visions a a melding of higher Minds dreaming up our transcendental work of art here in this room in this room in this [Music] room [Music] I'm told you I need the clicker it's returned because we [Music] [Music] returned and that is how the magic happened enough of this [ __ ] Alice is in danger I need another murder sight to go further back to Parliament Tower scratch is your wife is safe back in the real New York but scratch is reaching for her through an overlap return is the key to escaping the dark place you need to get it before that freak does there's a murder site you're in the hotel let the waves of your riding carry you there hello they're all to us if anyone asks you will never hear [Music] [Music] the full manuscript of a novel return a horror story about the dark presence escaping from the dark place taking over bright Falls I couldn't remember writing it I had not written it I would never write this I knew who had scratch a monster with my face if this story came true scratch would get out people would die destroying the manuscript it wouldn't stop it from happening I would have to fix it edit it I could not change the genre of the story I'd have to work within the constraints set by scratch I needed someone in the story to fight the darkness Saka Anderson I kept seeing her in my Visions she was already in bright Falls already involved but she was not in return not yet I DED her in try to stop scratch within the limits of the horror story it was almost impossible it was taking too long I had not reached the end no I don't have time for this so let's get over with tell me was this all fake a show no one said otherwise Mr wake it was to indulge you but we can stop pretending now masks come off no I wouldn't go that far I don't even think you know who's under your mask but you know how to make things difficult for yourself all these rules endless convoluted Loops you insist on going through you are so lucky you know there are so many people helping you armies of people myself your wife Alice I need to get to her she's in danger she is because of you and so is someone important to me someone you pulled into this you keep opening doors peeking in reaching through to get what you want and that puts you in my path I don't know what you're talking about I have to go now maybe you will make it through this time this has gone off long enough this and our night Springs it was a nice distraction it's time someone gave me a straight answer here the next time we meet the circumstances will be very different and you would do well to return the favor by playing your part or stay out of my way Mr Wick whatever you say I'm in control now the second you try anything I will shoot you in the head scratch wrote return not me your [ __ ] fire you'd given up you stopped riding you said it was too dangerous that that we didn't deserve to get out and then he showed up scratch he promised to ride to get me the hell out of here he was magnificent a Visionary I mean it was art but then when it finished it took her return and left me behind it's still here and so is he I know I [ __ ] up but you can still catch him before he gets out before he gets to your wife when you get time don't hesitate kill the bastard for what he did to was there's a murder site in my cinema where my film nightless night is [Music] play I told you not to try anything I it won't end like a nightmare I can't wake up from I thought I could contain Ellen in my photos but I can't the monster just keeps coming back every night like waves hitting the shore I'm so tired he's here all the time now there's so much rage inside of him I can't stand it anymore God I tried so hard I can't I can't I have made a decision most of you won't understand people call me an artist but I don't care about any of that I just wanted to show the world what I see I can't keep going like I have been it's time for perspective shift to go from photographer to subject from artist to art for Alice was dead scratch tortured her until she couldn't stand it anymore until she broke and all that time she thought it was me scratch was still here he hadn't escaped the dark dark place yet he was scratching my edits out of [Applause] return I had seen this before this was not scratch this was me caught in a loop I had stopped myself trying to fix the manuscript I was the one haunting Alice it was always me I killed [Music] her this is the ritual to lead you on your friends will meet him when you're gone Alan Saga I finished it the ending we talked about I have the clicker and the bullet of light let's do this I have to be the one to do it I feel like I've always been on this journey okay it must end here this Darkness what lies under the surface now shifts up a play of Shadows catching my eye thrusting my face into the water he's here it's shockingly cold past the mirror of the surface and I will see okay see scratch now a white searing light of truth that for a flash pierces the shadows and reveals the hidden horror and in that moment of silence the whispered message finally [Applause] heard come on you [ __ ] come on come what if there's nothing waiting to be revealed the play of Shadows fool is all subterfuge to get our price of admission Darkness not as a monster but as emptiness we're none the wiser no answers no truths the hero turns to look inside it's destroyed by what he sees and is redeemed Saga said we're both Heroes I'll pay that price so she we are here to kill the monster I pray nothing comes after this nothing was sleep this is how we win is it too easy what if this is still the dark place another dream to wake up from always coming back to the beginning the memory of what came before burned Away by this terrible realization maybe it's a mercy forgetting to know nothing when we loop around back to [Music] is it over [Music] Anderson this part is just for you after the haunting started I got in touch with an organization that was still looking into what happened in brightfalls I went to their offices and something happened there after I got home I could suddenly remember everything I remembered being trapped inside that Lake a dark ocean with with Echoes of myself my my my fears my photos inside a dark tide of of Madness the same events and images looping again and again and then I saw a light your light you dove in just as I swam out you never drowned and you're still there reaching out that is what the haunting is I can see you because I've been there too I chose to come back to the dark place that is why I put on this exhibition I had to mislead you so that I could get you to where you needed to be the only way out of your Loop is destruction or Ascension light or dark and we've covered the Destruction part many times over and we're getting to the Ascension bit by bit time means nothing here you'll still need to go through the loop but I will keep showing you the images you need to see the light you need to see until you're ready Ellen I think we're getting close it's not a loop it's a spiral [Applause]
