Original subtitles

He wants to hack Steel Mountain's climate control system. Raise the

facility's heat high enough to destroy all the tapes. This is what we're doing.

I'll hit up my Dark Army contact as soon as you take off. You're just going to

hit up the world's most dangerous hacker crew. He has my bank account, Ollie. We

cannot just infect AllSafe's network because of this. I'll lose my job.

Evil Corp's upping their security protocol.

They're physically copying, then shipping all the analog backups.

We go out today.

I want

you to be where you belong.

Here with me.

I think I'm happy where I am.

Don't let me down, okay?

That girl in there is mine.

Did you have something to do with Vera getting busted?

She's on murder charges, do you know that? It's my plan.

I'll go ahead. You might be able to hide it from these nerds, but I know a junkie

when I see one.

I'm alone.

No, you're not.

I'm not going anywhere, kiddo.

I wish I had better news for you, Fernando, but this isn't the You're

Getting Out meeting.

This is only as much as I could carry.

DA has more.

How long is it gonna be?

We're talking years.

Yo, you playing?

You get our people out.

That's your use to us.

They have a solid case.

For every charge they're gonna lay on you, they have these binders. Your

Twitters, your Instagram.

You said they wouldn't figure this shit out. They can't, bro. I'm telling you,

it was airtight, V.

Fellas, this isn't the imitation game.

The code here is not that complicated.

Besides, who told you to put your business anywhere near social media?

My aspirational little brother.

You know how much money we saved last year?

Made our whole operation way more efficient. We were careful.

You tweeted about every transaction your business was involved in. That is the

opposite of careful.

It's no wonder an anonymous tip turned you in.

Who called in the tip?

This is what is meant by anonymous.

It is now spilled milk.

The information got out, and now they're coming down hard.

There's no plea on the table. They're gonna lay murder one on you. I ain't

pleading anyway.

Man can't sentence me. That is a cosmic responsibility.

Someone's gonna get hurt for this.

That's how we get square with the universe.

Fernando, we need to discuss strategy.

You don't want supermax. No, no.

If they lock me up, the kind of door they close don't matter.

So that's you.

That's who you are.

And only you.

Excuse me.

Pardon me. Pardon me. I already paid. Just wanted to pay my respects.

Thank you. Thank you. Oh, I'm sorry, man. Sorry. Just wanted to pay my

compliments. Hey, excellent coffee, fantastic service. Buy yourself

something nice.

Steel Mountain.

We're trying to penetrate a data security facility whose tagline

literally is...

Nothing is

actually impenetrable. A place like this says it is, and it's close.

But people still built this place.

And if you can hack the right person, all of a sudden you have a piece of

powerful malware.

People always make the best exploits.

I've never found it hard to hack most people.

If you listen to them, watch them.

Their vulnerabilities are like a neon sign screwed into their heads.

Mobley's a glutton. He lacks discipline from his urges. I don't want to get

bugs. They spread disease.

Romero is a know-it-all and a hypochondriac. Bill Harper is our first

exploit. He isn't going to give the search much scrutiny. He'll get us level

one, but Bill is not going to be able to get us level two. We need to get to

level two.

You're going to have to speak to his supervisor, Wendy.

She'll get us to exactly where we need to be, then we'll be able to get rid of

her from the van.

After that, you connect the Raspberry Pi to the climate control system and Bob's

your uncle.

Now we can hear you, and you can hear us.

Mr. Robot, his flaw is he's absolutely insane.

We're talking clinical.

When they say if your friends jump off a bridge with you, he would, without

hesitation. Just to prove something. He goes in there, he's liable to blow the

whole place up. Just like he wanted to in the first place.

Sure you don't want to look over the info in the map again?

I got it.

Okay, James Bond.

Let's go mess this shit up. Boom, boom.

Yes, I also have security flaws.

I don't like being outside.

I like morphine too much. Mr.

Sepio? I'm talking to you right now and you don't exist.

Sam Sepio?

Sir? That's you, Elliot.

Okay.

So sorry you had to wait. As you can see, there's always a lot of bustle

here. How can I help you today?

You need a tour. Don't elaborate.

Um... A tour?

Okay.

I'm sure they told you at reception that we require appointments for tours. My

supervisor gives us all a hard time about that.

I'm Sam Sepiel.

You should look me up.

Okay. A little inelegant, but we can work with it.

Tell you what.

Have your company call over to new accounts, and we can set something up

later this week.

Ask for Bill Harper.

They'll know where to find me.

Listen, Bill. You think your boss gives you a hard time now? You're going to get

a really hard time right after I walk out of here. I'm not rescheduling, Bill.

When I walk out that door, I'm never coming back. That's your ask, Bill.

I really think you should look me up.

It just doesn't work like that. I'm sorry, sir.

You take care, okay?

I'm coming out. It's not working.

It's gonna work. Hang in there.

Always being too weird. Just like every other tech billionaire.

Slow your roll. It's gonna happen.

It's no wonder Wikipedia is never accurate.

Anyone can edit them.

Well, not anyone.

Nerds like Mobley built a lot of credit over the years with his 20,000 edits.

And still people trust it.

Fall into all the Mobleys of the world for their information.

Mr. Sepio?

Mr. Sepio!

I have some good news!

Stop it. Stop it. Can you stop packing for like five minutes? Can we just cash

this out like adults?

I love you.

You don't even know why you're crying.

Let's get married.

Holly, will you please stop?

Angela, Angela, you can't just give up on us like this.

I mean, have you even thought this through?

What are you going to do? Go live with your dad in Jersey?

Come on.

You're ruining your life.

Maybe.

But I also ruined yours.

Why do you have my work ID?

Did you... Do you... Do

you know what's going to happen?

There will be fallout from this, and I'm going to tell him. I used your computer.

So tell them whatever you want.

Are you serious?

Did you even think about how this would affect me?

I did.

Here's an idea of how big this place is. We have our own fire department inside

the building just for us.

And you can't have a fire department without a fire truck.

And you can't have a fire truck without roads.

We have all of that.

Inside.

Imagine that.

Elliot, now's the time we get rid of Bill.

There's so much information. Okay, we're going to need to roll up our sleeves

here. You have to destroy Bill in order to get to his supervisor.

There's one vault in here that's 200,000 square feet.

That's the size of a shopping mall. And that's just one.

Bill, where are those giant vaults? Well, they're on level two. But that's

not part of the tour. Even I don't have authorization.

He's not going to take you for ice cream. He has to go away.

There's no place in this plan for Bill.

Now, right down here.

Everything okay, sir?

We need to tear Bill down, piece by piece. You need to wipe that smile off

of his stupid face.

Sir, are you okay?

You're not... You're not saying anything.

Dig into him, Elliot.

You, of all people, can do this, Elliot.

You know how it feels when someone makes you small.

You understand what happens when someone exposes the thing you fear most about

yourself. Answer me!

Answer me!

Get up.

Just get up!

I hate you.

You're nothing.

You're worthless.

Think about it, Bill.

Think about what?

If you died, would anyone care?

Would they really care?

Maybe they'd cry for a day.

But let's be honest, no one would give a shit.

They wouldn't.

The few people that would feel obligated to go to your funeral would probably be

annoyed and leave as early as possible.

That's who you are.

That's what you are.

You're nothing to anyone.

To everyone.

Think about it, Bill.

Because if you do, if you let yourself,

you'll know I'm telling you the truth.

So instead of wasting any more of my time, I need you to go call someone that

matters.

Because, Bill... You don't.

I'll, um... I'll call my supervisor.

And that's why Bill Harper is a perfect exploit.

Desperate enough for the business to break protocol and let me in.

Lonely enough to break.

I need a supervisor in L1S3.

Don't apologize.

You're almost there. You did great.

Once Wendy gets there, we'll send her a text letting her know her pregnant wife

is in labor.

Once she leaves, that should give you enough time to plant the pie, you dig?

Trudy Davis, account supervisor.

Is there a problem here?

Mr. Sepio, I'm asking for someone more senior than me.

I don't seem to have your name.

Um, Sam Sepio?

Is that a question?

Trudy? Trudy? We're Wendy. We only prep for Wendy. Where the hell is Wendy? I

need Wendy, actually.

How do you know Wendy?

She didn't come in today.

What is it that you need, Mr. Sephiel?

Um... I would love a tour of Level 2.

I don't know what you've been told, but we don't allow that.

I'll see you out.

You can go, Bill.

Follow me to the lobby.

This woman's a ghost.

None of these are her. No Facebook, no LinkedIn.

She's been married for 30 years. All we have is her husband's cell phone number.

He doesn't have a picture online.

No hobbies, no kids, no credit problems, no weird sex stuff.

House paid off.

I need to think.

The elevator's almost here.

Yes, that's how they work when you press the button.

Okay.

People... People are all just people, right? When it gets down to it,

everyone's the same.

They love something, they want something, they fear something.

Specifics help, but specifics don't change the way that everyone is

vulnerable. It just changes the way that we access those vulnerabilities.

I have to go.

I'm sorry.

I need to go to my office.

Reception will see you out.

What'd you do?

I spoofed the text from her husband.

It's a pump and scanner.

Get out of there.

There's one door manually locked. It's a fire code thing and I think you can pick

it. Where?

It's at the end of the hallway if you're heading north on L1.

The stairs don't go to level two. They go to a parking lot.

You're on the complete wrong side of the building. You're going to have to double

back and go through the door you came in and make a run for it.

Elliot.

I thought I saw you.

What are you doing here?

Thank you. Y'all come back to Wingstravaganza.

Okay, real important.

Wingstravaganza means wings and extravaganza. Do you know what

extravaganza means?

Yep, it's a big deal. You got it.

You look nervous.

Are you excited?

Oh, yeah.

Okay, so you'll shadow me for the week, but don't sweat it. It's like every

other server job.

Well, I've actually never been a waitress before.

Oh. This is kind of like a new beginning for me.

What were you doing before?

Pharmaceutical sales.

Fancy. You must have made bank.

What happened?

Um, you know, Obamacare.

Welcome to Steel Mountain's Data Center.

Our facility meets Diamond's specifications and features a Tier 10

certified build and design, providing you with a safe, rock-solid fortress for

your data needs.

I'm overdoing it. I say,

who's that?

So, yeah.

Elliot.

Nice meeting you. You too.

Tell your wife I said hi.

You're welcome.

Those men I just shook hands with financed years of Hezbollah and ISIS.

I wouldn't stare.

Did he know I was going to be here?

Does he know why I'm here?

Shit. He's going to kill me.

As you were saying, I...

Just a routine data process check.

AllSafe does them all the time.

But why would they send you?

That type of thing isn't usually handled by the engineers, is it?

We've been overlapping a lot in our duties, budget, reasons.

It seems we both had the idea to work our site today.

Let's call this fortuitous.

Join me for lunch?

Sure.

I ate lunch.

So you are like the rest of us.

Come.

He got owned, man. We gotta go.

We're not going anywhere. This changes nothing.

What can I get you, Elliot?

I have a lot of things here. He has a vulnerability.

He's an arrogant prick, and he's proud of it.

He cares.

What you think about him, even though he probably hates that he does. Tyrell,

well, his greatest asset is his hubris, but it's also his flaw.

And that's your exploit.

That would be nice.

You eat here?

This place?

Is that your plan? To piss him off? No, wait, man. Wait.

Now remember, Elliot, you'll lose our signal on level two.

Elliot. Elliot, say something if you can hear us.

I'm impressed you came all the way out here.

All safe is finished, but you won't let it die.

We're the same.

We're perfectionists.

I've seen our waiter here for the last seven years.

Must be in his 50s.

Maybe has kids.

Divorced, second wife, more kids.

And I wonder, what must he think of himself?

His life's potential reached at a 30 grand a year salary, an economy car he

still owes money on, two-bedroom apartment, child support, coupons.

I couldn't bear it.

A life like that.

A life of an ordinary cockroach whose biggest value is to serve me salad.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Goddamn withdrawals again.

Or is it Tyrell Wallach?

Is he toying with me? What kind of game are we playing?

Am I his malware?

Had to wash my face.

Hard to breathe.

Here.

I know you framed Terry Colby.

I didn't. Your father worked at Evil Corp before he died. That's a matter of

public record.

I'm not turning you in if that's what you're thinking.

I don't even have proof.

And even if I did, I don't care.

I just wanted to know your weakness.

Now I do.

Revenge.

How ordinary.

It's like our waiter.

But even extraordinary people, and I believe you are, are driven by human

banalities.

And unfortunately, we're all human.

Except me, of course.

I'm joking, Elliot.

Enjoy your long drive back home.

I'm having a helicopter take me back to New York.

Take care, Elliot.

No bullshit Dude bullshit.

What do they say? Oh, I don't know basically that they're a bunch of

dickless assholes. Where are you going to fix it?

No one else is going to Darlene wait,

I Really don't think you should keep pushing them put

it this way either I'm fixing this or breaking it their call

Hi, Pumpkin.

Hi,

Daddy.

Why aren't you at work?

I broke up with Ollie.

I know.

Just got off the phone with him.

Come on.

He was sobbing.

He wanted me to tell you something like, I'll always love you, please come back.

Oh, and he can learn to forgive you.

Jesus.

What did you say?

I told him I thought you should have broken up with him a long time ago and

hung up on him.

Nice.

What did he mean, anyway?

Just normal work and money stuff.

And, well, he cheated on me.

So, there's that.

Well, the cheating part, I'm not surprised.

I'm not trying to make you feel bad, honey, but come on.

The kid's a douchebag.

As for the money... Dad, no. I'll float you some money for professional

development. Dad.

Call it a loan, but do not pay me back.

And you'll stay here and commute until you can save for an apartment.

I can't make you do any of that.

And you didn't.

It's what I want.

Are you hungry?

Yeah, no, no, sit sit sit sit relax What would you like?

You don't need to cook for me dad French toast Coming up

Is it him you were talking about before?

And who is she?

Why do you ask about her all the time?

Because it makes me a little bit nervous.

I don't know what she wants.

Stop stressing yourself out.

This is just normal.

They are happy, satisfied.

They don't seem to want anything.

That's exactly why I'm nervous.

I'm going to wake up my father from now on.

And I don't believe you.

Why are they backing out?

This is a library.

If you want to discuss that, go back to the IRC island.

They banned me from the channel.

What happened?

We just owned Steel Mountain. We did our part and it went perfect. Come on, we

both know that shit didn't go perfect. Well, it doesn't matter. They called it

off. We pulled our side together and your side called it off like it was

nothing. You got your answer.

You better tell your pal White Rose to stop being a pussy and start growing a

pair because we don't have time to dilly-dally around.

And now you're going to talk about this in the world?

Do we even care who hears you?

Face it, Darlene.

It's over.

Walk away.

I can't go back to my people with that.

Tell me why.

You said the Dark Army was with us on this.

Between us.

I'm not about to goddamn tweet about it.

They were out before you ever got to Steel Mountain.

I don't know why, that's all they said to me.

I know you had your heart set, but for real this time, just... let it go.

I need suits mostly. No. I imagine it must be exciting to work in government.

It's like a spy movie.

Can you read my secret emails?

No.

My job is mostly paperwork and bureaucracy.

They always want more than the technology allows.

I don't even have time to read your secret emails.

But it's a stopgap. For me, I'm restless. I'm always itching for

something else.

There have been a lot of something else's.

For both of us.

Before this, I worked at an NGO, and before that, I worked at Microsoft for a

year, which felt like a decade.

Your place is beautiful.

I wish I could take the compliment for decorating a Scots domain.

Oh, really?

Yes. Very nice.

Yeah.

Where's all the antiques?

They're... So they tapped you for CTO, yes?

Don't be surprised.

Suspicious is more accurate.

I was beginning to wonder why you said this dinner.

Four people in the world know about my conversations.

Somehow, you're number five.

Then I'm exactly what you need in a right hand.

So that's what this is about.

Isn't everything about something?

Like we were thinking about, is it baby proof?

Uh-huh. Yeah, that's a consideration.

If you were me, would you trust you as your right hand?

If I were you, I wouldn't have even let me in the house.

Hey. Hey, it's me.

Is now a good time?

Yeah.

I'm at my new job.

How's it going?

Seriously, it's hard as hell, but I am getting the hang of it.

At first, it took me, like, years to marry Ketchup, but it turns out I'm

amazing at upselling expensive cocktails.

I'm not surprised.

And then, when I have to put together to-go orders, it's like bagging mollies.

I'm, like, kind of an expert.

How are you?

I'm good.

Oh, I've never heard you say a sentence like that before, ever.

I did what I had to do today.

Well, if you're around tonight, come over and tell me about it, okay?

I gotta go.

Goodbye.

You seem to know how to drink your wine.

I indulge in few things, but I do love wine.

Yourself?

In my other life, when I could drink for one.

But even then, I had cheap tastes.

It's safe to smell, though.

Put your nose in there.

You know, to me, it smells like every wine.

But I'd love to learn.

Dried red fruit.

Fresh violet.

Lemon peel.

Try it again.

Smell. Really, really think about it.

I do smell a lemon.

Sharon? Yes?

How do you not blow your brains out being married to him?

Excuse me?

Shall I repeat the question?

You're a guest in our house.

A very honest one.

Wow.

I think I'll mistake what you said as a joke and poor taste.

Excuse myself to the bathroom.

I have a beautiful vintage over here. I would love to just show you the label.

Nope.

Nope.

There's the one.

This is my prized possession, actually. Take a look at this.

I'm in here.

Can I help you?

Thank you for a lovely evening.

We got problems.

Is the party online?

Yeah, we're in the whole system. We could deliver the whole payload right

now if we wanted.

And yet they hear no applause.

You have to tell them.

What?

We lost China.

I'm sorry?

The Dark Army is bailing.

Why?

They don't answer whys, apparently.

That's no problem. We'll just call them back. We'll set up another meeting.

Dude, did you not hear me? They've gone dark. It's not happening.

I know.

I know. I get it, okay? I fucked up.

Let's not wait then.

Let's do it anyway. Just us.

Let's do it right now.

Okay? We execute now. We execute on our side and trust that the dark army gets

their shit together and follows.

Why do they get to dictate terms? We dictate terms. We can go now. If we move

forward and they don't, China still holds all the redundant information. It

will be pointless.

And if we wait, it'll also be pointless.

Everything you guys did today would be for nothing.

have no effect.

It'll take down their network for weeks. They'll recover. It would still hurt

them. We don't want to hurt them. We want to kill them.

And neither will happen if we do nothing right now.

What are you doing? Take another step and I'll do it.

Think about what you're doing, okay?

All right?

In a month, they're going to be up and running again with even better security.

We are not going to get another shot at this.

The revolution that we've always talked about will be gone. Dead and buried.

We will have failed because of you.

Please, do not do this.

Is there anyone here who can communicate with this woman?

Tell me it's okay to execute

But

we are so

close

It's not over.

We'll rework it. We'll figure something out.

We got this far.

We'll find a way, just not tonight.

There's something.

Come on.

You can crash at my place.

My father picked me up from school one day and we played hooky and went to the

beach.

It was too cold to go in the water so we sat on a blanket and ate pizza.

When I got home, my sneakers were full of sand, and I dumped it on my bedroom

floor.

I didn't know the difference.

I was six.

My mother screamed at me for the mess, but he wasn't mad.

He said that billions of years ago, the world shifting and oceans moving brought

that sand to that spot on the beach, and then I took it away.

Every day, he said, we changed the world.

Which is a nice thought until I think about how many days and lifetimes I

would need to bring a shoe full of sand home until there is no beach.

Until it made a difference to anyone.

Every day we change the world. But to change the world in a way that means

anything, that takes more time than most people have.

It never happens all at once.

It's slow.

It's methodical.

It's exhausting.

We don't all have the stomach for it.

Hey, sweetie.

I'm gonna go for a run.

Nice.

Shayla's got the dog.

She doesn't shit on her pillows.

It's a plus, I guess.

Say that.

Hey, bro.

Sometimes the universe aligns perfectly.

Here I am, locked away.

Still, it brings you right to me.
