"Meet the Spy" Video Transcript

Leak

Welcome to the Internets

Meet the Spy was leaked on May 17, 2009 due to a YouTube bug which allowed iPhones to view videos marked as "Private." This inspired a series of posts on the official blog, and Valve awarded themselves a "Corporate Achievement" called "Welcome to the internets," with the description "Fail to understand what Private means on YouTube."

In the officially released version, one of the alert panels reads "Leaked Video." It originally read "Lost Memory." Also, the Administrator only says "Intruder alert!" once instead of two times in the official release.

Notes

  • In the Russian version, when the RED Spy destroys the BLU Engineer's Sentry Gun, the Engineer does not say "Sentry Down", unlike other versions.
  • The tracks Right Behind You, Petite Chou-Fleur and Intruder Alert were featured in this video, after which they were patched into TF2's soundtrack.
  • In Meet the Spy, the RED Spy disguised as BLU Scout was able to touch the BLU Intelligence briefcase. Unlike in-game, the Spy was not forced to drop his disguise and take the intelligence.
  • When the RED Spy kills the BLU Medic, a wooden crate from Template:W is visible in the background.
  • The alarm bell and signal board at the beginning is an "Alarm-O-Tron 5000". These alerts are displayed below. The alerts in bold display the specific warnings which were activated and lit during the video.
Emergency On Cap Intruder Alert Is Fired BLU Demoman Depressed
All Clear RED Scout Exploding On Fire BLU Engineer About to Explode
Vaporized Team Update New Mission On Break BLU Sniper Is Drunk

    • The Alarm-O-Tron 5000 board gives a hint about who the RED Spy is disguised as. Three consecutive alerts read: -BLU Scout - Has Evil Twin - RED Spy-
    • The Alarm-O-Tron 5000 board also continues the question about the Pyro's gender. On the boards are the alerts: 'Is a Man' 'Is a Woman' and 'Is a Robot'
    • The Alarm-O-Tron 5000 board has a reference to Meet The Spy being leaked by Valve employees with the alert "Leaked Video".
    • The Alarm-O-Tron 5000 board makes an appearance in the map Double Cross in a locked-off room beside the Intelligence room.
  • The video takes place in a modified version of the 2Fort map, with most of the action occurring in BLU's Intelligence room.
  • On the corkboard next to the filing cabinets, a photo of Saxton Hale (CEO of Mann Co.) can be seen.
  • The French phrase spoken by at the end is "Ah, ma petite chou-fleur," literally meaning "Ah, my little cauliflower." In French, the phrase is used as an endearment toward loved ones.
  • Leading into the scenario with the Sniper, the BLU Spy's cigarette can be seen to move oddly in his hand, despite keeping his hand still.
  • The Sniper is seen wearing the Trophy Belt. This was a teaser, as hats had not been revealed when the video came out. This was one of the several hat teasers during this trailer, including the Heavy's Football Helmet which can be seen early in the video on top of a filing cabinet in the Intelligence room.
  • All three of the Sniper's items from the Sniper vs Spy Update can be seen in the video:
    • The Huntsman can be seen at 1:49 resting against the wall.
    • Three jars of Jarate can be seen at the same time resting atop the stack of crates.
    • The Sniper's Kukri can be seen resting on a crate that contains the Razorback.
  • When the Spy is killing the Heavy and Soldier at the end of Meet the Spy, the Heavy and Soldier's grunts are timed almost perfectly with the ending flourish.
  • When the Soldier is attempting to input the door code the Scout next to him is seen holding a Sandman instead of his standard Bat.
  • On the "Meet the Spy" title card the white knife is actually the Kill Icon for the Knife. However, the icon seems to be different, as there is a drop of a liquid which appears to be blood. In the game, the blood drop does not appear on the Kill Icon.
  • When the Soldier, Scout, and Heavy meet outside the intelligence room, they appear to be at the entrance closest to the L-Shaft. When the group enters the intelligence room, they do so through the opposite door.
