(Elliot) What I'm about to tell you is top secret.

Oh, hi. Tyrell Wellick.

(Shayla) You wanna do these together then?

- Pure molly. - No, Shayla.

I need you to come to Allsafe.

(Elliot) Shit, they're in the network.

This is it. Fsociety.

They're telling me to leave it here.

[grunts]

Who are you?

(Mr. Robot) I think you should come with me.

Yeah, that's Darlene.

You are gonna modify the DAT file.

Put Colby's IP in there.

You do that, you'll have set in motion

the largest revolution the world will ever see.

(female newscaster) Sources have confirmed

the hacks were in part tied to Colby's terminal.

(man) Sir, step inside the car.

Bonsoir, Elliot.

(Tyrell) "Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank,

but give a man a bank, and he can rob the world."

It's a bit of a silly expression, actually.

A little reductive, but still...

I like it,

for the same reason most people hate it,

because to me it means that power belongs

to the people that take it.

Nothing to do with their hard work, strong ambitions,

or rightful qualifications, no.

The actual will to take is often the only thing that's necessary.

I'm sorry to bring you in like this.

Technically what we're doing might be considered illegal,

which is why I'm surrounded

by eleven of our most annoying lawyers.

Elliot Alderson...

I want to offer you

a position here at Evil Corp.

I want you to head our cybersecurity division.

Except I can't officially offer you anything

since we have this non-compete with your employer, Allsafe.

But if you do this of your own accord...

when you do this...

you'll be a multi-millionaire within the next five years.

What do you say?

Can I...

Can I think about it?

Gentlemen, I need the room.

- [indistinct whispering] - Yes, thank you. Yes, yes.

You know,

Evil Corp has just named me interim CTO.

It won't be long until it's official.

I will be the youngest executive this company has ever seen.

I should track down these hackers out there

just to thank them.

In a way, it's kind of, um...

What's the word in English?

Serendipitous? Right?

[laughing]

You know, by the end of the quarter,

we're going to revamp our entire network

and consolidate our security protocols.

We're going to handle everything internally,

which means all of our vendors, including Allsafe,

will be cut loose.

And it's no secret that once Allsafe loses us as a client,

they'll be fini.

And when that happens,

I want you to be where you belong:

here with me.

This is an important choice you're making, Elliot.

I just wanted you to know all the facts

before you made your final decision.

I think I'm happy where I am.

Call this number if you need to get in touch with Mr. Wellick.

You can call me Mr. X. [laughs]

Come on, you've never seen JFK?

Sir, I gotta be honest. That's embarrassing.

Do yourself a favor and watch it.

And pay, for Christ's sake.

Anyway, you can call me Mr. Sutherland for now.

Don't hesitate to reach me when you're ready.

We're always close by.

(Vera) I'm gonna set a date right now...

- (Shayla) No, we're not. - For later.

I gotta go, thank you very much.

- You gonna have me up? - No.

- Gonna have me up? - No, stop.

- I'm coming up. - No, you're not coming up.

Another time. Okay, I gotta go.

Come on.

- Everything all right? - Yeah, he's just a creeper.

I hate it when your employers can't take a hint.

[thumping bass from car]

(Shayla) Hey, is your radiator messed up?

Because it's like 3,000 degrees in my apartment.

Hey, are you okay? You seem off.

While we're here, you mind if I reup?

A little early to reup, don't you think?

I'm deviating from the schedule a little.

Whoa, never thought I'd see the day, Mr. Stricty Pants,

but okie dokie.

Oh, yeah. Shit, I'm out of the other ones.

No, just the morphine. It's good.

Uh, no, you made me promise never to give you these

unless I had your Subs.

- Shayla. - No, Elliot.

Promises matter, okay?

I take this shit to heart.

Oh, my God.

Fine, but you have to promise me you won't do a lot

until I get your withdrawal meds, okay?

I'll go see Fernando later or something.

No, you have to say it.

I promise.

[snorting]

(Elliot voice-over) Hey, man.

What, you think I forgot about you?

Trust me, I need you now more than ever.

We gotta get to work.

Hacking Tyrell Wellick, you'd think it'd be tricky,

but it wasn't... Evil Corp's corporate mail servers,

they haven't patched anything since Shellshock.

He doesn't even use two-step verification.

His password was just his wife's maiden name

and Sweden's independence date, 6-6.

One six away from the obvious, but still,

this is bad noob practice.

These emails...

His life... it's nice, happy, perfect.

This doesn't make sense.

Did he know I was going to hack him?

Did he let me?

I'm gonna need to wipe everything.

[beep]

[drilling]

[microwave beeps]

(Elliot voice-over) I know, I know, taking more than I should.

I'm breaking my rule, but come on, it's an off week.

[soft clanking]

[liquid trickling] [clanking continues]

Come on.

Yo. My man, you gotta...

You gotta deuce it out over here, all right?

Yo, you gotta do your business up in here, all right?

Hey...

You got this. You got this.

[sniffs]

[indistinct chatter, phone ringing]

(female news announcer) Terry Colby, the chief technology officer of...

(Elliot voice-over) Terry Colby's arrest is on everyone's mind.

Screen. Might as well be the same thing nowadays.

How do I go back to work after this?

How can I focus on anything?

And when's Mr. Robot going to contact me again?

What's he waiting for?

Did I just destroy a man's life for no reason?

(Gideon) I'm gonna talk to HR about a salary bump for you.

- Oh, please. - No, no.

Take the raise.

It's not gonna be much, but it's the best I can do right now.

Elliot...

You saved the company.

Now...

Why didn't you tell me about the DAT file?

You could've come in here at any time before the meeting

to say you found something, but you didn't.

I gotta be honest. I found that kind of curious.

Yeah, I didn't know what I had.

Could've easily been a junk file.

C'mon...

You're never sure about anything

unless there's something to be sure about.

Maybe you don't know me that well.

Regardless,

I still need you to stay on it, now more than ever.

I mean, who knows what

these Fsociety hackers are going to do next.

(Elliot voice-over) What did he just say?

- What did you just say? - The ones working with Colby.

Who knows how deep these data dumps are going to get,

and Evil Corp is...

What're you talking about?

There's a twist.

You're usually the one a step ahead of me.

They hit the mother lode during the breach.

Potentially terabytes worth of emails and files.

They're threatening to dump everything

unless the FBI frees Colby.

They released the video this morning.

Hello, Evil Corp. We are Fsociety.

Over the years, we have been watching you.

Your financial abuse of the poor;

your corruption of governments;

your cover-ups of the murder of innocent, ordinary citizens,

all for the sake of a profit.

This is why we at Fsociety have decided you must die.

We are malicious and hostile. We do not compromise.

We are relentless.

We will not stop until every tentacle

of your evil monstrosity is sliced off at the nerve.

But we are also not without mercy.

Our latest hack was our last warning.

Meet our demands, and we will consider not destroying you.

First, release our leader Terry Colby

from your illegitimate prison immediately.

Second, release all the people of the world

from your even more illegitimate prisons of debt.

Third, dissolve your corporation

and donate all your assets to charities around the world.

This proposal is non-negotiable.

The people are realizing they don't have freedom of choice

so long as you exist.

The people are waking up,

no longer accepting your economic slavery.

Meet these demands, or we will kill you.

Consider yourself warned.

[sustained beep]

Play it again.

Yo, yo, yo, yo, my album just dropped.

Yo, please buy my CD. Only cost you 20 likes.

Yo, it'll give you the feels, y'all, I swear.

The CD's free. All's I ask is you Tweet.

Help my social media outreach.

(Ollie) You know, be like, "I want to set up this meeting.

It's like a very, like a... " Oh, Elliot!

(Ollie) Hey, congrats, man.

Allsafe is all over the internet today because of you.

Dude, we should celebrate. We have this Groupon

for four at Morton's on Thursday.

This other couple we were going with totally bailed.

Why don't you come with?

Their steaks are badass. It's $29.95...

(Angela) I'm not sure that Elliot would like that.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah? Okay. Awesome, man.

And, hey, why don't we make it a double date?

I heard that you had a girlfriend.

Ollie, you weren't supposed to say anything.

(Ollie) Babe, it's cool. Elliot's okay with it.

Yeah, okay, sure. I... have to go.

Um, my neighbor's complaining about the dog barking again.

- (Angela) Since when does he have a dog? - (Cisco) Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

You look like a beautiful couple.

Yo, my album just dropped,

You like rap, hip-hop?

Yo, this shit is deep, lyrical, poetic.

Yo, your girl will like this, my man, I swear.

Come on, bro, you've been outside our building

for two weeks now.

All right, you know, I'll take it,

if you leave us alone.

Thank you, thank you, man, thank you.

And I'll tweet, but only if I like it, all right?

I only have 48 followers, but it's growing.

- No doubt, no doubt. - Some tastemakers in there so...

I feel you, I feel you.

- Yeah. - All right.

Yo, I appreciate it, man, really.

- You guys have a good day. - Yeah, you too.

Thank you so much. Check track two out.

- Track two. - All right, man.

(Elliot voice-over) This was never part of the plan.

Data dumps? Releasing Terry Colby?

None of this makes sense.

Need to cut off all ties with Fsociety.

Need to disconnect.

We need to call in sick and lie low for a...

[dog whining] [shower running]

[door shuts]

Dude! Jesus Christ! I am naked, asshole!

Don't stare at me!

Why the hell are you in my shower?

Well, I was waiting for you.

You were supposed to come last night.

- Did you forget? - Come? Where?

It's fine, everyone's coming later.

[Darlene sighs]

I'm stealing your clothes.

My dress has cum stains on it.

[laughs]

Jesus, I am just messing with you.

My stuff is just in the wash.

I'm gonna borrow this for the time being.

Oh, by the way,

your dog shat on your bed.

You gotta walk that thing.

(Elliot) Hey, please take Flipper for a while.

She probably needs a walk or something.

She keeps shitting everywhere.

Of course she needs a walk, Elliot.

She's a friggin' dog.

Yo, I want to stop and get some froyo before we go.

[hip hop music playing over headphones]

Uh, I'll be back later.

- I owe you. - Yeah, big time.

How do you know where I live?

Why wouldn't I know where you live?

I don't know. I don't know where you live.

Well,

I don't live anywhere at the present.

The douche I was dating proposed to me, can you believe?

I mean, what an asshole.

Anyways, we got into this huge fight, and...

(Elliot voice-over) What the hell am I doing?

This chick is out of her mind batshit crazy.

I gotta go back, tell Gideon everything.

He'll understand, right?

He'll know what to do.

It's whatevs. He'll take me back.

He's just gotta get over this whole

"love is forever" bullshit.

I'll do my disappearing act for a minute,

and then he'll come to his senses.

(male announcer) Stand clear of the closing door.

You know, it's our thing.

Quick!

[indistinct female announcer over intercom]

(Elliot voice-over) Can she see them, too?

What?

I like to stay on my toes.

Speaking of, that's, like, one of the most annoying things...

(Elliot voice-over) But what if Tyrell finds out? What will he do?

Shit, there's basically no scenario in which

I'm not getting killed or going to jail.

Because I wanted a turtle, and he was like, "No..."

(Darlene) I might need to crash with you for a couple of nights.

That's cool, right?

Seriously?

Fine! I'll crash at Mobley's.

Don't love dogs anyway.

Especially ones that shit in your bed.

I mean, how do you live like that, honestly?

How do you go to sleep when you know that there's...

(Elliot voice-over) For all we know,

I could be walking into a trap right now.

We could be dead the second I walk through that door.

Come on, kid. We got big things in store.

Big things.

[clapping]

Man of the hour. Take a curtsy.

[gunshot]

Goddamn ducks.

[three gunshots]

Hey, hey, man!

What's... oh. Shit, sorry, sorry, dude.

Um, okay.

Anyway, just, awesome work, man.

Really awesome.

Right on, man. Right on.

- Real cool. - Great.

So now that we're all done going down on each other,

can we please hear the plan?

Where are we at with Steel Mountain?

(Mr. Robot) If I'm not mistaken,

these lines aren't 100% safe yet,

and we still haven't made the Colby project disappear.

Seriously?

It's been weeks. Any links or traces

would have been owned by now.

The lines are clean, Boss, I swear.

- Thank you. - I mean, um...

if it makes you feel better, Romero and I can check...

Great! Make me feel great.

I'm gonna hang back over here, collect my thoughts.

[groans] Ohh!

What's her deal?

Ah, she's a complicated woman.

Most malware coders are. Am I right?

She showed up at my apartment.

Why does she know where I live?

Let's not focus on her. That'll be like

entering a bad K-hole you'll never wake up from.

Instead, I need you to focus on the next phase of our project.

Comet, the natural gas plant up around Albany?

We're gonna blow it up.

Why would you blow...

Comet plant's right next to Steel Mountain.

Which, as you know,

is the off-site and data storage facility

for every corporation in the S&P,

including everyone's favorite...

- Evil Corp. - [snaps fingers] Bingo!

You're gonna destroy their tape backups.

They're gonna be looking out for something like that.

They've been on high alert ever since the hack.

From what I heard, they've caught their hacker.

- Haven't they? - No, they haven't.

- Tyrell Wellick knows. - What they want him to know!

He's a corporate robot just like the rest of them.

Besides, the entire company is gonna be reeling
