Mr. Robot

There's a reason we met.

There's something between us. I can see it.

You're only seeing what's in front of you.

You're not seeing what's above you.

This is going to be affecting our economy

in ways that are extraordinarily significant.

The FBI announced today

that Tyrell Wellick and fsociety

engaged in this attack.

Blackouts. Why?

So they can take away your power.

The public is hoarding cash.

The housing market is grinding to a halt.

Dark Army. They got no code.

They hack for anyone. (GUNSHOTS)

Tell me about your father.

We were close.

Worked at Evil Corp his whole life.

One of the best computer engineers they had.

One day, he told me he had leukemia.

They are going to try and get rid of me again,

and I need you to not let them.

He is a part of you that makes you, you.

Who are you talking to?

Twenty-six employees died in the widely-publicized.

Washington Township toxic waste scandal.

If I told you that your mother and Elliot's father

died for a reason, would it make a difference?

That they were sacrificed for the greater good,

that they gave their lives to take humanity to the next level?

Tyrell, are you there? They told me you would be calling.

This is a secure line.

You sure you still don't want to talk to me?

We got to show her we're smarter.

They're going to try and flip her.

Let me do it alone. I know her.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

This gets his phone mic live.

I'm going to ask him about Stage 2.

The Dark Army set this up? They're our partners.

It's Elliot. He's the one with the plan.

When is Stage 2?

Femtocell the backdoor.

You planned all of that with him?

You're not hacking anything.

This will level that building and kill people.

I'm going to get rid of the backdoor.

We're supposed to be gods together,

and yet you want to destroy our destiny?

Step away from the computer!

You touch that keyboard, and I will shoot you.

No, you won't. You can't.

It doesn't exist.

This control you think you have...

It's an illusion.

I'm the only one that exists.

Ifs time to finally take back control.

Real control.

"TYRELL:" So much depends on a red wheelbarrow.

"Glazed with rainwater beside the white chickens."

You know, once you gave me this,

you said to stop anyone who gets in the way of our plan.

Sorry, kiddo.

I couldn't let anyone stop this.

Including us.

Looks like you're going to get a free milkshake, you lucky dog.

I'll take chocolate, please.

Oh, sorry, sir. That offer is only valid on your next visit.

I don't understand.

I got my punches. Didn't you just say

I could have a free milkshake?

Yes, and you can redeem it on your next visit.

What's the difference? I'm here now.

I'm sorry, sir. That's not the way it works.

Okay, should I just get out of line and then get back in'?

No, sir. You would have to redeem it on your next visit here.

Okay. What qualifies as a visit?

Do I have to leave the premises and come back?

Do I have to go home?

Is it time-based?

You see the faulty logic here, don't you?

Sir, those are the rules.

You can speak to the manager,

or I'd be happy to add a milkshake to your order

for$12.95.

It's not about the money.

It's about the principle.

Sir, there's nothing I can do.

Uh-huh.

Calm down.

No...

Screaming isn't going to help this situation, is it?

Uh-huh. Yeah, well,

I agree. It's not good.

Is he dead?

Uh-huh. All right.

Be there in 15 minutes.

When we lose our principles,

we invite chaos.

Thank God you're here. I...

I don't know how it got to this.

Please,

tell me you can help him.

He... He can't die. He can't die.

Well, he's kinda still alive.

This wasn't what I meant by "safekeeping."

Please, just tell me, I need to know. Is he going to live?

The doctors are en route.

And they're about two minutes out.

Camera...

Uh... You know,

pushing on his stomach like that...

That's, uh... That's not helping things.

You might want to stop that.

Uh-uh.

Well,

our people are working on him as we speak.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Just went in to surgery.

Uh-huh.

Well... (ENGINE STARTS)

What do you want me to do about the Swede?

Uh-huh.

And as far as the kid goes?

Uh-huh.

Ready when you are.

Okeydoke.

I love a great mystery.

And I'm fascinated by the greatest unsolved mystery.

Do we see reality as it is?

If I close my eyes and imagine...

That, ladies and gentlemen,

is why it's always smart to have backup generators

at a nuclear power plant.

And as I was saying,

if I close my eyes, I can imagine

that everything we experience,

everything we see, think, and do,

is unfolding simultaneously

in a parallel universe.

And if So,

how many copies of ourselves exist?

And might our mental states be conjoined?

For better or worse.

He really is a crazy little goose, isn't he?

No, no, no. Remember what we said.

Practice makes perfect.

Sir,

I think they are both incredibly unstable people.

Let me run Stage 2 for you.

I am more than capable.

Have I ever told you that Mr. Alderson's father

used to work for us on this project?

Unbeknownst to him, of course.

In fact, it was his great engineering work

that led to some of our early successes.

What an extraordinary coincidence.

That now his son works for us after so many years.

But you don't believe in coincidence.

Yes, I don't,

which is why you misunderstand Mr. Anderson's value.

It was his impassioned plea to destroy E Corp

that presented us with the opportunity

to set our plan in motion, and it has taken

his relentless determination since to continue it.

We may possess the necessary tools,

but what we do not have

is his unadulterated focused

rage.

Time presented us Mr. Alderson when we needed him.

Therefore, his will must be our guide.

And after Mr. Alderson completes the great work

that we need from him,

then he can die for us.

Just like his father.

Are you still there?

Am I?

What did we miss?

Did you see anything?

I blacked out.

If I'm alive, I must have been right.

None of it was real.

I'm the one in control.

The one with the power.

But why doesn't it feel that way?

You're awake.

The electricity's still out.

It's been out a week now.

What am I doing here'?

They brought you here yesterday.

You don't remember.

What are you talking about?

Who brought me here?

The people that you're working with.

They called me.

They told me that you were hurt.

What people?
