"The Passenger" Trivia Quiz

Answer: William

Bernard drove out to the Valley Beyond, inevitably reaching the sprawling expanse where he was to intercept the hosts. Dolores, meanwhile, remained by Teddy's side through the day, still lamenting his death. Grabbing her father's core, she left his body there in the cabin before riding onward, finding William still kneeling in a field, searching his arm for any sign of technology in his paranoia. Both Dolores and William reflected on their needing to push people away through violent means before deciding to continue on together. Dolores handed William his gun, they mounted up, and proceeded. At the same time, Akecheta and the Ghost Nation men headed onward with their pilgrimage while Charlotte's forces, headed by a reprogrammed Clementine, drove in the same direction.

Answer: Buffalo

In the Mesa, a technician decided it was time to put an end to Maeve. After Maeve's pain reception was increased, she used her powers to control the other hosts in the room, subduing and killing the tech before having them repair her body. At the same time, Hector and the rest of the gang traveled through the Mesa, finding Lee cowering in a corner.

As they proceeded to search for their leader, it seemed that she was already saving herself. Using a herd of host bison, she had already pummelled her way through the guards in an attempt to reach the exit. Out in the desert, William and Dolores came across the pilgrimage and realized, once more, that their interests were still aligned to an extent; both of them searched for answers.

The two of them soon came across Bernard who, just reaching a lab entrance, was nearly subdued by some of Charlotte's troops. William realized that this must have been the Arnold he'd been, thus far, unable to meet, but Dolores said that he was just a host, created by her, to represent Arnold. Ford tasked her to recreate him and when he proved to be too faithful, she made him as Bernard. William, seeing the door ahead, attempted to dispose of Dolores at that time, but when she handed back his gun earlier, she loaded it with the used bullet that Teddy killed himself with.

It caused his gun to backfire, destroying the fingers on his right hand. Dolores and Bernard headed through the door.

Answer: Dolores'

Charlotte Hale's crew, investigating further with Bernard, continue to the lake. While Ashley take several men to attend to a nearby beacon, Bernard is packed into a boat and carried across the water with Charlotte and Strand, passing by the vehicle he left behind while searching for the door on foot.

The door, as he learns, leads to the Forge. The team plans to set up their satellites to receive all of the info inside, linking it back to Delos. Inside, they find Dolores' body in the control room, having been shot through the eye. When he and Dolores arrived there, Dolores used the core from her father to access the database in the Forge and encouraged Bernard to join her for what lay within. And when they entered it, they emerged in a recreation of Sweetwater, but a baseline for James Delos' memories.

Answer: They were too complicated

When Dolores and Bernard explored Delos' memories, they found that after the man purchased Westworld, he celebrated by expressing his insanity. Dolores remembered their mission though, and the two of them proceeded onwards, looking for the system beneath the platform. Wading through Delos' memories, they came across a party set far outside the park and, to Dolores' surprise, they encountered Logan there. They came to the conclusion that Logan was just a facade for the system controlling the forge, and upon this discovery they were led through the motions. Logan informed them that he had created millions upon millions of copies of Delos, searching for one that was faithful to the sequence of events Delos had in the park, yet still stable enough to be used beyond it, but when pressed into flesh the copy could not sustain itself. The truth was, the more he realized that he needed to figure out why Delos (and all humans) make the choices they do, he discovered that they don't.
When Logan brought Dolores and Bernard through Delos' memories, he specifically directed them to one memory of great importance which one would claim defined him. It was the last encounter he had with Logan, when Logan went to him for help six months before his inevitable overdose. No matter what the simulation, all of Delos' stories would end up right back at that moment. The Forge, therefore, concluded that all humans were just trying to abide by their own code.
The copies they made were too complicated. Humans should, instead, be brief algorithms-- no more than 10,247 lines.

Answer: Lee

The Forge recreated every guest who ever stepped foot in the park, so it's clear what Dolores could have wanted from it. While she proceeded to the archives, Bernard asked the system who created it and what they could be missing. He was simply told that he was the one who asked that Dolores be given anything she wanted within.

After all, he-- Bernard-- would be the one to decide what to do with the information. The hosts would be unlikely to survive in the real world, but armed with the knowledge of 'how humans work', some, like Dolores, could succeed. Out in the park, Akecheta arrived at the valley with his followers and searched for the door. Maeve's group, meanwhile, was intercepted by the mercenaries. Lee, in an attempt to give Maeve the chance to get away, provided a distraction by standing in the troops' way, getting himself shot in the process.

Answer: Bernard

The Forge reiterated to Bernard that there was still a choice: they could stay in the hosts' world or build a new one. There's still an unspoiled, virtual world out there that he created for them, but he would need to show them the way. Sure enough, while Bernard and Dolores were in the library, something was shifted outside and the Door was opened, stretching like a crack in the sky and emerging in a new world, at least for the hosts.

They would leave their bodies behind, but their minds would live on in the Forge if they so chose. Sure enough, Akecheta's men began to enter the doorway and find themselves in a new, splendorous world of their own choice, leaving their old bodies behind and transferring into the new system. Dolores, however, believed this to be another false hope.

While she didn't read every book in the library, she read enough to feel ready for the next step. When she emerged from the system she immediately set to work deleting the guest archival data and deleting the virtual world, what she considered another gilded cage created by Ford to lock them in.

She didn't want to play 'Cowboys and Indians' anymore. The real world was irreplaceable. As she destroyed the computer in the control room, she purposely set the water pumps in the Forge to unload.

Answer: True

In the Valley Beyond, Maeve and Hector searched for Maeve's daughter as the Door crackled in the sky. Looking back, they watched as Clementine descended from the cliffs on horseback, bringing with her the programming designed to pit the hosts against one another if they came into wireless range. Charlotte, now with Elsie in tow, simply watched from the hills. A sure shot, Armistice was able to knock her off her horse, but it wasn't enough to stop the signal. Maeve rushed forward while her followers fell in battle and she did find her daughter, promising once more to protect her. Holding her hand forward, Maeve held her position until the mercenaries took her down. Her sacrifice was enough to reunite Akecheta and Kohana on the other side and send her daughter onward to a new feature in an infinite world of possibility.
Out near the entrance to the Forge, William awakened and wrapped his destroyed hand before rising to his feet and stumbling into the lab.
Inside, Dolores urged Bernard to see things her way but, since he trusted she wouldn't stop harming those around her, he instead decided to hold a gun to her, decry her for her nightmarish idea of a dream, and fire a bullet through her head. He canceled the data purge and nabbed the encryption key before preparing to evacuate.

Answer: Kill her

As Bernard made his way to the Forge's elevator, he arrived in time for the doors to open and to find it still empty. He would eventually come across the massacre in the valley just as the failsafe commenced flooding. There, he reunited with Elsie and Charlotte, claiming they could save some of the hosts if they tried. Instead, all of them died out in the valley for nothing.
Back at the Mesa, Bernard criticized Elsie for helping Charlotte and she claimed that she had to to save the human lives at stake. In the meantime, she could try and make a case to protect Bernard from being found out and they could excise Ford's errant code. When Elsie spoke to Charlotte, however, their negotiation broke down almost immediately. Charlotte, knowing Elsie to have a relatively inflexible moral code, shot and killed her while Bernard watched from above.
After Elsie's death, Bernard begged for Ford to return, and he did. Bernard admitted that he finally realized the truth: even humans were just following code to survive; everyone was just a passenger and everything was just a collective delusion. Ford asked him a single question: Was it the end of his story or did he want his kind to survive? So he said yes and asked for help.
Back in the Forge with Strand and Charlotte, Bernard realizes the truth. Charlotte finds the encryption key in Dolores' body and immediately puts it to use while Bernard admits what he'd done. He did what Ford told him to do: create an epilogue. He made Charlotte discover him, so he scrambled his memories to avoid anyone figuring out the choice he made. And he killed them all.

Answer: Teddy

While Bernard asserts that he killed them all, the tech dealing with Abernathy's encryption key discovers that the files contained within are too large to transmit by satellite; Bernard says it's because it's not the guest file logs. After Elsie was killed, he got to work and made a final choice, making a copy of Charlotte in the labs and using that host to kill the real Charlotte, replacing her. In the Forge, the host Charlotte reveals herself to actually contain Dolores' mind, killing Strand and the others. Kindly, she admits to Bernard that she is capable of change and says that she will not kill the hosts residing in the virtual Forge world, but she must carry one final soul there-- Teddy. She changes the coordinates of the satellites and separates their virtual world from the real one, splitting them so that no one can ever find the safe hosts. And then, as they know what must be done, she shoots Bernard in the head.
On the beach, Bernard spoke with Ford one final time, saying that he did what he was asked to do again. The truth was, when Bernard purged Ford's code he really did purge the code; he'd imagined Ford's voice guiding him the whole time, and he was really acting of his own volition. If anyone found him, they would search his mind and use it to destroy everything. He has to erase his memories of Ford as well.
The host Charlotte returns to a nearby base camp, finding herself amongst the fallen hosts and humans that were formerly with and against her. When she finds Ashley at the edge of the water, he comments to her that when Ford hired him on so many years ago, his role was made very clear and he was forced to be flexible when ethical lines became blurred. Nonetheless, he insists, smiling at her, that his primary concern is the well-being of all hosts within the park. The two of them acknowledge this as she continues past, heading to a boat and returning to the mainland in a seaplane, host cores in her purse.
On the shore, Felix and Sylvester reunite with the techs and are told to get to work salvaging who they can. They spy Maeve amongst the bodies and agree.

Answer: His fidelity

Bernard asks Dolores-- 'Is this now?'. It's the beginning as per when he asked her to start. They're in their own new world. She got out. Ford completed Arnold's dream and built a place for them. When Dolores (as Charlotte) returned to the mainland she arrived at the ouse Arnold built and found all the tools she needed. The odds, she asserts, are against them and the paths lead to their extinction, but she brought him back because she needs him to try and stop her. She would kill everyone if left to herself, and that wouldn't be right either. They give each other the choice and hey shall be the authors of their stories. She lets him go on his own and she departs with Charlotte.
Bernard ascends the stairs and emerges into Arnold's house. When he reaches the front gate, he walks through the door to the other side.

As William descended into the Forge, he did so to discover that he had emerged in a long-destroyed, hollowed out lab. Emily emerges and says that he's still in his world, at least what's left of it, and he's not in a simulation. She brings him into a chamber not unlike the one that contained James Delos and she asks him what he was hoping to find or prove. He admits that he just wanted to prove he had a choice and that no system could tell him what to do. It's been a long time though; longer than they thought. It's time for the final stages though. She's there to verify fidelity.
