Mr. Robot 1x2

1. What I'm about to tell you is top secret.

2. Evil Corp.

3. Oh, hi. Tyrell Wellick.

4. You wanna do these together, then?

5. Pure Molly.

6. No, Shayla.

7. I need you

8. to come to Allsafe.

9. Shit,

10. they're in the

11. network.

12. This is it, fsociety.

13. They're telling me to leave it here.

14. I think you should come with me.

15. Who are you?

16. Yeah, that's Darlene.

17. You are gonna

18. modify the

19. DAT file.

20. Put Colby's

21. IP in there.

22. You do that, you'll have set in motion

23. the largest revolution the world will ever see.

24. Sources have confirmed

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

26. Sir, step inside the car.

27. Bonsoir, Elliot.

28. "Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank,

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

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

31. A little reductive,

32. but still...

33. I like it,

34. for the same reason

35. most people hate it,

36. because to me it means

37. that power belongs

38. to the people that take it.

39. Nothing to do with their hard work, strong ambitions,

40. or rightful qualifications, no.

41. The actual will to take

42. is often the only thing

43. that's necessary.

44. I'm sorry to bring you in like this.

45. Technically what we're doing might be considered illegal,

46. which is why I'm surrounded

47. by eleven of our most

48. annoying lawyers.

49. Elliot Alderson...

50. I want to offer you

51. a position

52. here at Evil Corp.

53. I want you to head our

54. Cyber Security division.

55. Except I can't officially offer you anything

56. since we have this noncompete with your employer, Allsafe.

57. But if you do this

58. in your own accord...

59. When you do this...

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

61. What do you say?

62. Can I...

63. Can I think about it?

64. Gentlemen,

65. I need the room.

66. Yes. Thank you.

67. Yes, yes.

68. You know,

69. Evil Corp has just named me interim CTO.

70. It won't be long

71. until it's official.

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

73. I should track down

74. these hackers out there

75. just to thank them.

76. In a way,

77. it's kind of, um...

78. What's the word

79. in English?

80. Serendipitous? Right?

81. You know, by the end of the quarter,

82. we're going to revamp

83. our entire network

84. and consolidate

85. our security protocols.

86. We're going to handle everything internally,

87. which means all of our vendors, including Allsafe,

88. will be cut loose.

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

90. they'll be fini.

91. And when that happens,

92. I want you to be where you belong.

93. Here with me.

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

95. I just wanted you to know

96. all the facts

97. before you made

98. your final decision.

99. I think I'm happy where I am.

100. Well,

101. I thought I'd ask.

102. Call this number

103. if you need to get in touch

104. with Mr. Wellick.

105. You can call me Mr. X.

106. Come on,

107. you've never seen JFK?

108. Oliver Stone

109. movie?

110. Sir, I gotta be honest.

111. That's embarrassing.

112. Do yourself a favor

113. and watch it.

114. And pay,

115. for Christ's sake.

116. Anyway, you can call me

117. Mr. Sutherland for now.

118. Don't hesitate

119. to reach me

120. when you're ready.

121. We're always

122. close by.

123. - Oh, my God.

124. - Let's set a date

125. right now...

126. - No, we're not.

127. - Later.

128. I gotta go,

129. thank you very much.

130. You gonna have

131. me up?

132. No.

133. You gonna have me up?

134. No, stop.

135. I'm coming up.

136. No, you're not coming up.

137. Another time.

138. Okay, I gotta go.

139. Come on.

140. Everything all right?

141. Yeah, he's just a creeper.

142. I hate it when your

143. employers can't take a hint.

144. Hey, is your radiator

145. messed up?

146. Because it's like 3,000

147. degrees in my apartment.

148. Hey, are you okay?

149. You seem off.

150. While we're here,

151. you mind if I re-up?

152. It's a little

153. early to re-up,

154. don't you think?

155. I'm deviating from

156. the schedule a little.

157. Whoa, never thought I'd see

158. the day, Mr. Stricty Pants,

159. but okie dokie.

160. Oh, yeah.

161. Shit, I'm out

162. of the other ones.

163. No, just the morphine.

164. It's good.

165. Uh, no, you made me promise

166. never to give you these

167. unless I had your Subs.

168. Shayla.

169. No, Elliot.

170. Promises matter,

171. okay?

172. I take this shit to heart.

173. Oh, my God.

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

175. until I get your

176. withdrawal meds, okay?

177. I'll go see Fernando

178. later or something.

179. No, you have to say it.

180. I promise.

181. Hey, man.

182. What, you think

183. I forgot about you?

184. Trust me, I need you now

185. more than ever.

186. We gotta get to work.

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

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

189. they haven't patched

190. anything since ShellShock.

191. He doesn't even use

192. two-step verification.

193. His password was just

194. his wife's maiden name

195. and Sweden's

196. independence date, 6-6.

197. One six away from

198. the obvious, but still,

199. this is bad noob practice.

200. These emails...

201. His life... It's nice, happy, perfect.

202. This doesn't make sense.

203. Did he know

204. I was going to hack him?

205. Did he let me?

206. I'm gonna need

207. to wipe everything.

208. I know, I know, taking more than I should.

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

210. Come on.

211. Yo. My man, you gotta...

212. You gotta deuce it out

213. over here, all right?

214. Yo, you gotta do your

215. business up in here,

216. all right?

217. Hey...

218. You got this. You got this.

219. Terry Colby, the chief technology officer of...

220. Terry Colby's arrest is on everyone's mind.

221. Screen might as well be the same thing nowadays.

222. How do I go back to work

223. after this?

224. How can I focus on anything?

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

226. What's he waiting for?

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

228. I'm gonna talk to HR about a salary bump for you.

229. Oh, please.

230. No, no.

231. Take the raise.

232. It's not gonna

233. be much, but it's

234. the best

235. I can do right now.

236. Elliot...

237. You saved the company.

238. Now...

239. Why didn't you tell me

240. about the DAT file?

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

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

243. I gotta be honest.

244. I found that kind of

245. curious.

246. Yeah, I didn't know

247. what I had.

248. Could've easily been

249. a junk file.

250. Oh, come on...

251. You're never

252. sure about anything

253. unless there's something

254. to be sure about.

255. Maybe you don't know me that well.

256. Regardless,

257. I still need you

258. to stay on it,

259. now more than ever.

260. I mean, who knows what

261. these fsociety hackers

262. are going to do next.

263. What did he just say?

264. The ones working with Colby.

265. What did you just say?

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

267. and Evil Corp is...

268. What're you talking about?

269. There's a twist.

270. You're usually the one

271. a step ahead of me.

272. They hit the mother lode during the breach.

273. Potentially terabytes worth of emails and files.

274. They're threatening to dump everything unless the FBI frees Colby.

275. They released the video this morning.

276. Hello, Evil Corp. We are fsociety.

277. Over the years, we have been watching you.

278. Your financial abuse of the poor,

279. your corruption of governments,

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

281. all for the sake of a profit.

282. This is why we at fsociety have decided you must die.

283. We are malicious and hostile. We do not compromise.

284. We are relentless.

285. We will not stop until every tentacle

286. of your evil monstrosity is sliced off at the nerve.

287. But we are also not without mercy.

288. Our latest hack was our last warning.

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

290. First, release our leader, Terry Colby

291. from your illegitimate prison immediately.

292. Second, release all the people of the world

293. from your even more illegitimate prisons of debt.

294. Third, dissolve your corporation

295. and donate all your assets to charities around the world.

296. This proposal is non-negotiable.

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

298. so long as you exist.

299. The people are waking up,

300. no longer accepting your economic slavery.

301. Meet these demands, or we will kill you.

302. Consider yourself warned.

303. Play it

304. again.

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

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

307. Yo, it'll give you the

308. feels, y'all, I swear.

309. The CD's free.

310. All's I ask is you tweet.

311. Help my social media outreach.

312. You know, be like, "I want to set up this meeting.

313. "It's like a very,

314. like a..." Oh, Elliot!

315. Hey, congrats, man.

316. Allsafe is all over the internet today because of you.

317. Dude, we should celebrate. We have this Groupon

318. for four at Morton's on Thursday.

319. This other couple we were going with totally bailed.

320. Why don't you come with?

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

322. I'm not sure that

323. Elliot would like that.

324. Yeah, okay.

325. Yeah? Okay. Awesome, man.

326. And, hey, why don't we

327. make it a double date?

328. I heard that you had

329. a girlfriend.

330. Ollie, you weren't supposed to say anything.

331. Babe, it's cool.

332. Elliot's okay with it.

333. Yeah, okay, sure.

334. I... Have to go.

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

336. - Since when does

337. he have a dog?

338. - Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

339. You look like

340. a beautiful couple.

341. Yo, my album

342. just dropped.

343. You like rap, hip-hop?

344. Yo, this shit is deep, lyrical, poetic.

345. Yo, your girl will like

346. this, my man, I swear.

347. Come on, bro, you've been outside our building for two weeks now.

348. All right, you know,

349. I'll take it,

350. if you leave us alone.

351. Thank you, thank you, man,

352. thank you.

353. And I'll tweet, but only

354. if I like it, all right?

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

356. No doubt, no doubt.

357. Some tastemakers

358. in there so...

359. I feel you, I feel you.

360. All right.

361. Yeah.

362. Yo, I appreciate it, man,

363. really.

364. You guys have

365. a good day.

366. Yeah, you too.

367. Thank you so much.

368. Check track two out.

369. I will, track two.

370. All right, man.

371. This was never

372. part of the plan.

373. Data dumps?

374. Releasing

375. Terry Colby?

376. None of this makes sense.

377. Need to cut off

378. all ties with fsociety.

379. Need to disconnect.

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

381. Dude! Jesus Christ!

382. I am naked, asshole!

383. Don't stare at me!

384. Why the hell are you

385. in my shower?

386. Well, I was waiting for you.

387. You were supposed

388. to come last night.

389. Did you forget?

390. Come? Where?

391. It's fine,

392. everyone's coming later.

393. I'm stealing your clothes.

394. My dress has

395. cum stains on it.

396. Jesus, I am just messing with you.

397. My stuff is just

398. in the wash.

399. I'm gonna borrow this

400. for the time being.

401. Oh, by the way,

402. your dog shat on your bed.

403. You gotta walk that thing.

404. Hey, please take Flipper for a while.

405. She probably needs

406. a walk or something.

407. She keeps shitting

408. everywhere.

409. Of course she needs a walk, Elliot. She's a friggin' dog.

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

411. Uh, I'll be back later.

412. I owe you.

413. Yeah, big time.

414. How do you know

415. where I live?

416. Why wouldn't I know

417. where you live?

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

419. Well,

420. I don't live anywhere

421. at the present.

422. The douche I was dating

423. proposed to me,

424. can you believe?

425. I mean, what an asshole.

426. Anyways, we got into

427. this huge fight, and...

428. What the hell

429. am I doing?

430. This chick is

431. out of her mind,

432. bat-shit, crazy.

433. I gotta go back,

434. tell Gideon

435. everything.

436. He'll understand,

437. right? He'll

438. know what to do.

439. It's whatevs.

440. He'll take me back.

441. He's just gotta get over

442. this whole "love is forever" bullshit.

443. I'll do my disappearing act for a minute,

444. and then he'll come

445. to his senses.

446. Stand clear

447. of the closing door...

448. You know, it's our thing.

449. Quick!

450. Does she

451. see them, too?

452. What?

453. I like to stay on my toes.

454. Speaking of, that's,

455. like, one of the most

456. annoying things...

457. But what if

458. Tyrell finds out?

459. What will he do?

460. Shit, there's basically

461. no scenario in which

462. I'm not getting killed

463. or going to jail.

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

465. I might need

466. to crash with you

467. for a couple of nights.

468. That's cool, right?

469. Seriously?

470. Fine! I'll crash

471. at Mobley's.

472. Don't love dogs

473. anyway.

474. Especially ones that

475. shit in your bed.

476. I mean, how do you live

477. like that, honestly?

478. How do you go to sleep when

479. you know that there's...

480. For all we know,

481. I could be walking

482. into a trap right now.

483. We could be dead the second

484. I walk through that door.

485. Come on, kid.

486. We got big things

487. in store.

488. Big things.

489. Man of the hour.

490. Take a curtsy.

491. Goddamn ducks.

492. Hey, hey, man!

493. What's... Oh.

494. Shit, sorry, sorry, dude.

495. Um, okay.

496. Anyway, just,

497. awesome work, man.

498. Really awesome.

499. Right on, man. Right on.

500. Real cool.

501. Great.

502. So now that we're all done

503. going down on each other,

504. can we please

505. hear the plan?

506. Where are we

507. at with

508. Steel Mountain?

509. If I'm not mistaken,

510. these lines aren't 100% safe yet,

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

512. Seriously?

513. It's been weeks.

514. Any links or traces

515. would have been

516. owned by now.

517. The lines are clean, boss, I swear.

518. Thank you.

519. I mean, um...

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

521. Great! Make me feel great.

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

523. Argh!

524. What's her deal?

525. Ah, she's a complicated woman.

526. Most malware coders are. Am I right?

527. She showed up

528. at my apartment.

529. Why does she know where I live?

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

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

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

533. Comet, the natural gas

534. plant up around Albany?

535. We're gonna blow it up.

536. Why would you blow...

537. Comet plant's right next to Steel Mountain.

538. Which, as you know,

539. is the off-site

540. and data storage facility

541. for every corporation

542. in the S&P, including

543. everyone's favorite...

544. Evil Corp. Bingo!

545. You're gonna destroy

546. their tape backups.

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

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

549. From what I heard, they've caught their hacker. Haven't they?

550. No, they haven't.

551. What they want him to know!

552. Tyrell Wellick knows.

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

554. Besides, the entire company is gonna be reeling

555. from all the data dumps we've got in store for them,

556. and, man, do we have some goodies.

557. Some good old-fashioned executive racism,

558. sexism, fascism.

559. Trust me, we are gonna "ism" so much all over them

560. they won't be able

561. to see straight.

562. And asking for Colby's release as ransom was genius.

563. That'll only make

564. his spotlight bigger,

565. keeping it off us.

566. That neat little ditty was Trenton's idea.

567. She may look innocent,

568. but I'd be careful.

569. She's got some

570. Allahu Akbar in her.

571. And while

572. all that's going on,

573. you will use your Allsafe security clearance

574. to hack the Comet PLC,

575. increase the pressure,

576. causing a gas

577. pipeline explosion

578. making Steel Mountain go kablooey

579. along with Evil Corp's soul.

580. They know about all this?

581. You're the first.

582. Workers?

583. Anyone living around the plant...

584. They all die?

585. We'll give them a head start.

586. Sound some alarms. It'll be fine.

587. You're blowing up

588. a gas pipeline.

589. The world is a dangerous place, Elliot,

590. not because of those

591. who do evil,

592. but because of those who

593. look on and do nothing.

594. This is war.

595. People will die. C'est la mort.

596. And once we blow up the pipeline,

597. Darlene's worm

598. will kick into high gear

599. at the US data center

600. which you helped

601. us to install,

602. thank you very much.

603. The redundant backups at their eastern data center in China...

604. The Dark Army

605. is covering us on that.

606. Dark Army? Why, man?

607. They got no code.

608. They hack for anyone,

609. terrorists, North Korea,

610. Iran, Russia.

611. Which means they hate

612. US capitalism just

613. as much as anyone.

614. Last but not least.

615. Steel Mountain.

616. The hacker's dilemma. What to do

617. when a bunch of data

618. you want to destroy

619. is completely off the grid?

620. I'm not killing anyone.

621. Tell me one thing, Elliot.

622. Are you a one or a zero?

623. That's the question you

624. have to ask yourself.

625. Are you a yes or a no?

626. Are you going to act or not?

627. Yo, you've been staring at a computer screen

628. way too long, homie.

629. Life's not that binary.

630. Isn't it?

631. Sure, there are grays...

632. But when you come right

633. down to it, at its core,

634. beneath every choice,

635. there's either

636. a one or a zero.

637. You either do something

638. or you don't.

639. You walk out that door, you've decided to do nothing,

640. to say no, which means

641. you do not come back.

642. You leave,

643. you are no longer

644. a part of this.

645. You become a zero.

646. If you stay,

647. if you want to change the world,

648. you become a yes.

649. You become a one.

650. So, I'll ask you again...

651. Are you a one

652. or a zero?

653. An innocent man is in prison because of what I did.

654. Come on, let's not kid ourselves!

655. This has nothing

656. to do with Colby.

657. This isn't even

658. about my revolution.

659. This is more

660. than that for you.

661. This is about how

662. those bastards slowly

663. killed your father

664. and how you wished

665. he'd done something

666. about it.

667. But he didn't.

668. Because he was a zero,

669. just like you're being

670. right now.

671. Fuck you.

672. Disappearing again?

673. I'm not killing anyone. Leave me out of this.

674. You don't get to

675. disappear from this.

676. We can do it with

677. or without you,

678. but you're a part of it either way!

679. Yeah, even your stupid hoodie can't protect you, bitch!

680. This was a mistake.

681. I've gotta turn them in. Should I turn them in?

682. Will I get into trouble? Shit, she's right.

683. I'm culpable now.

684. No, we're culpable.

685. You're in this with me,

686. so start thinking

687. of solutions now.

688. Shayla?

689. Yo, Shayla.

690. Yo, bro.

691. Can I help you

692. with something?

693. I, uh,

694. just need to

695. talk to Shayla.

696. Oh, your girl,

697. she in the tub.

698. Shayla.

699. Yo, she'll be out in a minute.

700. You can sit and wait if you want.

701. I think we should

702. check on her,

703. you know, make sure

704. she's all right.

705. You a funny dude, I like you.

706. Don't be rude, sit down and chill.

707. Ah, that's right,

708. you only do this.

709. The only nigga

710. I know that take

711. withdrawal meds

712. while he usin'.

713. That's smart.

714. Probably even convinced yourself you ain't an addict.

715. Oh, shit, forgot to introduce myself.

716. I'm Fernando Vera...

717. Shayla's supplier.

718. One of the worst

719. human beings

720. I've ever hacked.

721. His password?

722. "Eat-a-dick-69-69".

723. Aside from the massive

724. amounts of money

725. he spends on porn

726. and webcams,

727. he does

728. all his drug transactions

729. through emails, IMs, Twitter.

730. The fact that the cops

731. haven't caught him yet

732. is beyond me.

733. If they had half a brain cell, they'd be able

734. to crack his gang's

735. simplistic code

736. if it can even be called that.

737. After only a couple of hours of timing his tweets

738. with related news articles,

739. I figured out that "biscuit" and "clickety"

740. clearly reference guns.

741. "Food", "seashells"

742. or "gas" for bullets.

743. And the ultimate...

744. "Rock to sleep early."

745. I haven't made the direct

746. connection to a hit yet,

747. but the math

748. of guns plus bullets

749. usually adds up to one thing.

750. I've thought about

751. turning him in,

752. but he's Shayla's

753. only supplier.

754. I take him down,

755. I lose my drugs.

756. And with everything going on right now, I can't have that.

757. You get that, though?

758. Anyway, bruh, I ain't nothin' to worry about.

759. Just makin' a drop for you.

760. What's your name anyway?

761. Elliot.

762. What it mean?

763. What, you ain't

764. never Googled it?

765. Man, you gotta

766. do that.

767. The meaning of

768. a person's name

769. is important, bruh.

770. Yo, she good!

771. She good.

772. Trust me.

773. Took care of

774. that shit myself.

775. Man, you remind me of me

776. when I was younger.

777. Depressed and sullen...

778. Matter of fact, I tried

779. to kill myself,

780. a couple of times.

781. Never could get that shit right.

782. Biology wasn't my strong suit.

783. I hated myself,

784. man, still do.

785. Thought that shit

786. was a weakness

787. for a long time.

788. And then I realized that shit was my power.

789. People walk around, act like they know what hate means.

790. Nah, no one does, until you hate yourself.

791. I mean, truly hate yourself.

792. That's power.

793. You ain't scared

794. of me, are you?

795. That's good.

796. Means I didn't waste my time making friends with you.

797. You don't really

798. need these, do you?

799. Man of your courage can last through a little withdrawal.

800. You know, you the only

801. reason why I met Shayla.

802. I'm the only nigga in town carryin' everythin',

803. includin' your

804. precious Suboxone.

805. So, in a weird way,

806. I should be thankin' you.

807. You brought her to me.

808. Your star orbiting with mine

809. gravitationally brought me the love of my life, Elliot.

810. I mean, this, us,

811. being here...

812. This has

813. beautiful meaning.

814. But make no mistake, that girl in there is mine.

815. I don't know what I'd do without her.

816. Now, I don't know what kind of arrangement

817. you had with her before

818. but now that we friends,

819. I trust you respect

820. this boundary.

821. Feel me?

822. Yeah, dude earlier today

823. gave me that same look.

824. The only thing

825. I gotta say is,

826. there's a smart time

827. to be scared, bruh.

828. And a stupid time.

829. Shayla!

830. The lock pick.

831. Every hacker's

832. favorite sport.

833. The perfect system to crack,

834. mostly because unlike virtual systems,

835. when you break it, you can feel it,

836. you can see it, you can hear it.

837. Shayla.

838. Hey, wake up.

839. Mmm...

840. What happened?

841. You okay?

842. Why was that asshole here?

843. Why am I in the tub?

844. I don't know.

845. Um, I told him

846. I needed your pills.

847. He came over.

848. We smoked a little.

849. Do you

850. remember having

851. sex with him?

852. What?

853. No.

854. But he definitely does.

855. Okay, let's go.

856. Get your purse and make

857. sure you have your...

858. Stop.

859. I'm not going

860. anywhere. Okay?

861. What do you mean?

862. What, he's just

863. gonna get

864. away with it?

865. You can't go

866. back to him.

867. Hey, I don't need

868. the pills. Just

869. find someone else.

870. I can't.

871. He gives me a really

872. good deal on the split

873. and I make good money.

874. There it is again,

875. the invisible

876. hand at work

877. controlling us,

878. even if it pushes us

879. past our threshold

880. of pain.

881. He's not gonna stop.

882. What if he does it again?

883. Promise me you won't do anything.

884. I'm serious, Elliot.

885. There's nothing

886. to be done here.

887. It's not like

888. I have a choice.

889. Hey,

890. do you mind sleeping here tonight?

891. Choices.

892. Maybe Mr. Robot's right.

893. That's what this is all about.

894. The yes' and no's of life.

895. But do we decide them, or do they decide us?

896. Fernando Vera.

897. I get rid of him, I get rid of my drug dealer's supplier.

898. I get rid of the morphine.

899. And the pain I've been holding in comes rushing out.

900. Sure, I can try to find another dealer,

901. but like Vera said, no one on the streets deals Suboxone.

902. I could go back to digitally counterfeiting scripts,

903. but pharmas spend a lot of dough protecting their wares.

904. Most places only take

905. paper scripts.

906. Continuously getting legit refills isn't realistic.

907. And neither is being a junkie.

908. So, I quit cold turkey or let Vera exist.

909. I know what you're thinking, the answer is too obvious.

910. Vera may have been groping Shayla before,

911. but he's graduated to rape.

912. Just like Shayla, he's left me no choice.

913. He can't be allowed to exist anymore.

914. Perhaps we should start with how you're feeling.

915. Not good.

916. What's not good right now?

917. Everything.

918. Humor me with some specifics.

919. How do we know if,

920. uh, we're in control?

921. That we're not just

922. making the best

923. of what comes at us.

924. And that's it.

925. Trying to constantly pick between two shitty options.

926. Like your two paintings

927. in the waiting room.

928. Or...

929. Coke and Pepsi.

930. McDonald's or Burger King.

931. Hyundai or Honda?

932. Hmm.

933. It's all part of the same blur, right?

934. Just out of focus enough.

935. It's the illusion of choice.

936. Half of us can't even pick our own...

937. Our cable, the gas, electric...

938. The water we drink,

939. our health insurance.

940. Even if we did, would it matter?

941. If our only option is Blue Cross or Blue Shield,

942. what the fuck is the difference?

943. In fact, aren't they... Aren't they the same?

944. No, man, our choices are prepaid for us

945. a long time ago.

946. I'm sorry you feel

947. you have no control.

948. I thought I was doing something good.

949. I was part of this project.

950. I thought I was gonna be a part of something special.

951. And now?

952. Now...

953. It turned out to be a mistake, uh, like everything else.

954. What's the point, right?

955. Might as well just... You do nothing.

956. Might as well do nothing.

957. You've brought up

958. this issue before,

959. this issue of not feeling

960. like you're in control.

961. Do you remember?

962. When we spoke

963. about your father.

964. You talked about how

965. he chose to do nothing

966. when he was

967. battling his cancer.

968. You told him

969. he could have fought

970. the company that caused it.

971. He could have told

972. people about it.

973. He could have sought

974. better care

975. than what

976. he was getting.

977. Instead, he did nothing.

978. Maybe your father felt the same way as you do now.

979. After all, like you said,

980. what's the point?

981. That's different.

982. What's different is you

983. found options, Elliot.

984. That's the power you have.

985. That's the control you own.

986. You don't have to just take

987. what life gives you.

988. Come on.

989. Tell me what is going on with you.

990. I cannot help you if you keep me in the dark.

991. Shut up!

992. Shut up!

993. You've got bags under your eyes.

994. You're yelling, you're jittery.

995. For the last month,

996. I have seen you slip into

997. old patterns, old behaviors.

998. What is going on?

999. He's still not answering.

1000. Well, we'll just have to ask him tomorrow.

1001. Every time I try to play it or rip it,

1002. it just freezes up my computer and spits it back out again.

1003. He's not okay.

1004. He was acting so out of it

1005. at work today.

1006. Um, are you saying

1007. something, babe?

1008. Something's wrong.

1009. Should I go over there?

1010. And just

1011. check in on him.

1012. Come on,

1013. that's ridiculous.

1014. I mean, he's always been a weirdo, all right?

1015. I'm really worried

1016. about him.

1017. Um, my Arizona buddy

1018. Fred hit me up.

1019. He wants to grab a drink.

1020. Shouldn't take too long.

1021. Okay.

1022. Booming all over your eminence

1023. Skin on skin on skin again

1024. Put it all, get it all, get in then

1025. Ladies and gentlemen, misters and mistresses

1026. Or entrants and simil men

1027. There it is, boogieman

1028. Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down now

1029. Simmer down now,

1030. simmer down now

1031. Simmer down now

1032. Quiet dog, wild hog, my god

1033. And the rocket don't stop

1034. Brooklyn and the kids heat up the stovetop

1035. Deep passions, longing,

1036. the two of them

1037. had never felt

1038. such a love,

1039. such a closeness.

1040. Such a connection.

1041. - I found out a way

1042. to do it without the...

1043. - Shh...

1044. Sit down.

1045. I know how to take out the backups

1046. without blowing up

1047. the pipeline.

1048. You know, Elliot,

1049. I really feel like

1050. we've resolved

1051. this thing between us.

1052. Didn't you... Didn't you walk away?

1053. I did...

1054. Didn't I say that

1055. if you walked away,

1056. you were no longer

1057. a part of this?

1058. I have a real plan.

1059. If you want me

1060. to let you back in,

1061. there's an understanding

1062. we have to come to.

1063. A debt you have to pay.

1064. Because, remember, you walked away.

1065. I thought you didn't

1066. believe in debts.

1067. Not true.

1068. I believe in debts.

1069. I believe in erasing them.

1070. What do you want?

1071. I want you to tell me

1072. about your father.

1073. Look, you're not gonna

1074. get into my head, man.

1075. Your David Koresh shit

1076. isn't gonna work on me.

1077. Tell me how he died.

1078. Why, man?

1079. Something tells me you already

1080. looked that shit up anyway.

1081. I want to hear it from you.

1082. If I do this,

1083. we go back to the arcade,

1084. discuss the plan with

1085. the rest of 'em?

1086. I don't know what you

1087. want me to say.

1088. We were close.

1089. Very close. He was my best friend.

1090. He worked at Evil Corp his whole life.

1091. He was one of the best

1092. computer engineers they had.

1093. Then, out of the blue, he got fired.

1094. No one knew why.

1095. One day, he told me.

1096. He had leukemia.

1097. Made me swear to never tell anyone,

1098. especially my mom.

1099. So, I didn't.

1100. A few months go by, he got sicker and sicker.

1101. Finally, I got so worried,

1102. I told my mom.

1103. When he found out,

1104. he got pissed,

1105. started yelling.

1106. I remember I

1107. tried to hug him,

1108. tell him I'm sorry,

1109. and he kept shoving me away.

1110. Shoved me so hard,

1111. I fell backwards

1112. out the window.

1113. I fell and I broke my arm.

1114. He never spoke

1115. to me after that.

1116. He couldn't even look at me.

1117. Even the night he died.

1118. We good?

1119. I understand what it's like to lose a parent.

1120. It's heartbreaking.

1121. Did you ever think

1122. he was right?

1123. About what?

1124. Hurting you that day?

1125. For what you did to him?

1126. Did you ever think

1127. you deserved it?

1128. I didn't do anything to him, I was trying to help him.

1129. Betraying his trust.

1130. I was eight years old...

1131. You didn't commit

1132. to the sacred pact

1133. you had formed.
