Mr. Robot 1x4

1. Steel Mountain.

2. The hacker's dilemma.

3. What to do when a bunch of data you want to destroy is completely off the grid?

4. Hello, Evil Corp.

5. We are fsociety.

6. Man of the hour.

7. Take a curtsy.

8. Dark Army?

9. They got no code.

10. They hack for anyone,

11. terrorists, North Korea,

12. Iran, Russia.

13. Yo, yo, yo, yo, my album just dropped. Please buy my CD.

14. He has my bank account, Ollie.

15. We cannot just infect

16. Allsafe's network

17. because of this.

18. Can we please

19. hear the plan?

20. Where are we

21. at with

22. Steel Mountain?

23. I know how to take out

24. the backups without

25. blowing up the pipeline.

26. What do normal people do when they get this sad?

27. They reach out to friends or family.

28. I do morphine.

29. There it is. After all the searching, scraping,

30. dusting, that's all that's left.

31. One line. The last line.

32. The consequences of busting Vera, meeting Mr. Robot, creating you,

33. everything till now, this moment. I chose this. I chose all of this.

34. Data storage facilities like Steel Mountain

35. it's linear-tape open standard nine.

36. Temp value between 61 and 95.

37. Iron oxide in mag tape, it sticks to polyurethane with a binder.

38. If HVAC conditions

39. surpass the ceiling,

40. 95 degrees,

41. polyurethane adhesive mollifies and tape data's unreadable.

42. This is what we're doing.

43. This circuit board,

44. if installed behind

45. a thermostat, it lets us

46. plant an asymmetric backdoor

47. then create a VPN in the

48. Steel Mountain intranet.

49. Okay, we all know what

50. a Raspberry Pi is.

51. What's your point?

52. He wants to hack Steel

53. Mountain's climate

54. control system,

55. raise the facility's heat

56. high enough to destroy

57. all the tapes.

58. And you think sticking this behind the thermostat will do all that?

59. With the right software

60. specifically designed...

61. I'll pull up my research on the facility,

62. start targeting

63. which thermostats are

64. the most accessible.

65. Yeah, well, that's all well and good, but we still gotta get in the damn joint.

66. There, deep into the Adirondacks

67. in a 145-plus acre

68. former limestone mine.

69. Three-ton steel gates,

70. 24/7 armed guards,

71. closed circuit cameras,

72. NOC staffing.

73. You sure you don't

74. wanna just blow it up?

75. All we need is

76. one security flaw.

77. Look at this place,

78. man, it was built

79. not to have any.

80. I see about six

81. walking around.

82. You okay, man?

83. What the hell?

84. Where you going?

85. We're done, aren't we?

86. That was about the time the withdrawal started, remember?

87. I know I broke my own rule. But I have no Suboxone.

88. What I do have, clinical depression. Social anxiety.

89. A dayjob. A nightjob. Confusing relationships.

90. Others depending on me.

91. Taking down the largest corporation in the world.

92. And I chose it all.

93. This line has wanted to own me my whole life.

94. Biosynthesized in some lab in Mexico, packed into a pill,

95. shipped to the States where it was packaged with a logo

96. and taxed by the government, stolen by a bribed guard,

97. sold to a Vera henchmen, oversold to Shayla, and then to me.

98. It needs me, just as much as I need it.

99. The moment was destined, every choice, bringing me closer to this one line.

100. This line. This last line. I promise.

101. Today will be the worst of it.

102. Get through the next

103. couple days, and then

104. I'll be clean.

105. What do you want?

106. Huh?

107. It's me.

108. Open up.

109. I would have saved you

110. the trip to the door,

111. but you're all, like,

112. against me breaking in

113. or whatever.

114. Why are you here?

115. Romero got some clarity

116. on your little plan that's

117. gonna need your undivided.

118. Okay, let's go.

119. What's going on

120. with you?

121. You look like shit.

122. I'm fine.

123. Look, man. This plan's

124. not gonna work.

125. Why? Why is that?

126. I was doin' recon on

127. Steel Mountain, came up with

128. a problem. A big fat one.

129. Evil Corp's upping

130. their security protocol.

131. If you ask me,

132. it's overkill.

133. But it's legit.

134. I already told you, they

135. have their vulnerabilities.

136. So what happens after we hack the New York facility?

137. Then we have to take a trip to Nashville, then Colorado,

138. then San Jose,

139. then goddamn

140. Tallahassee.

141. Ah, this looks real bad.

142. Real bad.

143. They're physically copying,

144. then shipping, all the

145. analog backups.

146. Five big-ass

147. fortress-like redundancies

148. across the country.

149. Now maybe, and it was

150. always a big maybe,

151. we get into one,

152. but no way we get

153. into all of 'em.

154. The minute we fry one facility they'll patch every

155. climate control

156. system they own.

157. No matter how you slice it, the plan is DOA.

158. Where'd you

159. get this?

160. What the hell

161. do you mean?

162. We're still in Evil Corp's network.

163. Shit.

164. This is what Tyrell

165. was talking about.

166. What'd you just say?

167. Tyrell? As in Tyrell Wellick?

168. Yeah.

169. Since when did you and the goddamn CTO of Evil Corp become, what, chums?

170. It says this isn't happening until April 1st.

171. It's only the 29th.

172. We still got a few days.

173. We have time.

174. All their tapes are

175. still in the New York

176. facility.

177. Just means we go up today.

178. We're nowhere close to being ready.

179. Well, I've already downloaded

180. all the necessary PDFs

181. of the floor plans

182. to target the thermostats.

183. It will require some planning, but nothing I can't do in the car.

184. It shouldn't take me long to own the facility's SCADA network.

185. Especially with

186. some help.

187. You guys hit the road

188. while Trenton helps me

189. finish the distro.

190. We'll double-time it.

191. You can get it off the

192. FTP server as soon

193. as you get there.

194. What about China?

195. We'd have to execute

196. the hack before Tuesday.

197. Don't worry about China.

198. I'll hit up my Dark

199. Army contact as soon

200. as you take off.

201. Oh, you're just gonna hit up the world's most dangerous hacker crew?

202. Y'all have gone and misplaced your collective minds!

203. We've been plannin' this for months, and now we're gonna go up on a lark

204. just 'cause he said so?

205. This plan is shit!

206. The plan will work.

207. And once we're actually there, I still need to prep the social engineering.

208. Plus we have no idea who

209. physically is gonna go in.

210. It's my plan, I'll go in.

211. Look, man, you...

212. You might be able to hide it from these nerds,

213. but I know a junkie

214. when I see one.

215. In your condition,

216. you ain't gonna do

217. Jack or Jill

218. except puke your brains

219. out or give hand jobs

220. for another high.

221. Like you said, in three days one Steel Mountain becomes five,

222. that's no good

223. for any plan.

224. Somethin' ain't right about this guy.

225. Ah, well, he's gotten us this far.

226. Still, I don't

227. trust him.

228. Well, it's not about trust, remember?

229. Thank you, momma.

230. There it is.

231. All right.

232. Come to Daddy.

233. Yo, man,

234. you gonna say

235. anything about this?

236. What's there to say?

237. You seem to have

238. everything under control.

239. Yeah, okay.

240. This isn't my operation.

241. I told you before,

242. you're the key

243. to the whole thing.

244. You're the only force

245. of nature at play here.

246. There's a saying...

247. "The Devil's at his strongest

248. while we're looking

249. the other way."

250. Like a program running in the background,

251. silently while we're busy doing other shit.

252. Daemons, they call them.

253. They perform action without user interaction.

254. Monitoring, logging, notifications.

255. Primal urges, repressed memories, unconscious habits,

256. they're always there, always active.

257. We can try to be right. We can try to be good.

258. We can try to make a difference. But it's all bullshit.

259. 'Cause intentions are irrelevant. They don't drive us.

260. Daemons do. And me, I've got more than most.

261. I just need to rest a minute, okay, I'll be fine.

262. Bullshit. Couple hours you'll wish you felt as shitty

263. as you do right now. Wait till the convulsions start. Full body pains.

264. Leaking from

265. everywhere. Then...

266. Hypersensitivity to brightness and sound. After that,

267. overwhelming paranoia followed by the darkest of depressions.

268. Symptoms may persist for two weeks. Assuming I last that long.

269. Yeah, I know what's in store.

270. Romero may have a point. You're not gonna be good for anything until you kick this.

271. It burns...

272. Don't be mad at me, I know I slipped.

273. But I'm about to change the world.

274. I'm about to change the world...

275. Shit!

276. Mmm. That is the way I like to get up in the morning.

277. Screw coffee or breakfast in bed...

278. If the first thing

279. I could see every day

280. was that sweet butt

281. of yours,

282. I'd be the happiest

283. dude in the city.

284. Mmm. You going

285. somewhere, babe?

286. Yeah.

287. I'm gonna meet

288. my dad for brunch.

289. What? No, babe, I was gonna take you to brunch.

290. I mean, I know

291. that things are,

292. like, okay,

293. between us right now,

294. but I'm not gonna let

295. myself off easy.

296. All right?

297. You will be wined

298. and you will be dined

299. until I feel I've gotten

300. myself out of the doghouse.

301. Maybe we can do something tonight, then?

302. Perfect.

303. Okay.

304. Mmm.

305. Oh, hey.

306. Is Elliot around?

307. I tried texting him. He didn't text me back.

308. Yeah. He's gone for the day. Which is why I'm on Flipper duty.

309. Where is he?

310. Oh, shit if I know.

311. I mean, I don't ask details. But he only ever tells me what he wants, anyways, right?

312. Right.

313. Well, I'll tell him

314. you stopped by.

315. Do you wanna walk with us?

316. Flipper loves an audience when she pees.

317. Sure, yeah, I gotta head back towards the subway anyway.

318. Oh, we don't plan our path.

319. I mean, we just kind of wing it,

320. and see where the moment takes us.

321. Come on.

322. Come on,

323. before she bursts.

324. Maybe this was all intentional.

325. My subconscious, running in the background, making me doubt

326. what I got everyone else to believe in.

327. Turning me into the physical manifestation of my fear of being a...

328. Goddamn waste.

329. Let's just give him

330. a night to recover.

331. Okay, we still have tomorrow.

332. This shit'll last a week.

333. And I refuse to waste

334. my time playing nurse.

335. We gotta get back,

336. regroup. And start

337. devising a plan B.

338. The rabbit is in the administration system.

339. Send a flu shot.

340. Rabbit, flu shot someone talk to me!

341. A rabbit that replicates till it overloads a file then it spreads like cancer.

342. Cancer?

343. Hollywood hacker bullshit.

344. I've been in this game

345. 27 years not once have

346. I ever come across

347. an animated singing virus.

348. I have yet to fly

349. through a Tron City

350. directory structure.

351. I bet you right now some writer's working hard on a TV show

352. that'll mess up this generation's idea of hacker culture.

353. All you had to do

354. was ask, Klepto.

355. I've updated the FTP.

356. All the files

357. are ready.

358. I've created...

359. Any word from the road?

360. Jesus, it's been a full 24 hours, where the hell could they be?

361. Got any Advil?

362. I'm guessing you

363. didn't make contact.

364. Nope.

365. Perhaps this plan was

366. a little too ambitious.

367. We'll wait until

368. the rest of them get back

369. and then reevaluate.

370. Sitting here helpless

371. while we crash and

372. burn, not my speed.

373. Even if they hack into Steel Mountain, we need to hit

374. China's data centers

375. simultaneously.

376. If the Dark Army isn't

377. compliant, then there's

378. not much we can do.

379. Oh, God.

380. Shit, I got so wasted,

381. I forgot it's Sunday.

382. I know where

383. my guy will be.

384. Is that wise? Those guys

385. aren't known for being

386. the most understanding.

387. I'm assuming if

388. he wanted contact...

389. What about

390. what I want?

391. I'm coming with you.

392. No, thank you.

393. You stick around,

394. wait for the boys

395. to FTP it.

396. Hey, Trenton.

397. Here.

398. Come on, they're my last two.

399. What is this?

400. Is this Ecstasy?

401. No, it's clarity.

402. It'll help you

403. see past whatever's

404. bringing you down.

405. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude, I don't do drugs.

406. I mean, I've...

407. I smoke weed.

408. Well, sorry,

409. but there's no

410. takebacks.

411. Besides, don't you want

412. to figure your shit out?

413. For me, sometimes,

414. when I'm going

415. through something

416. I just gotta, I don't know... Forget about it for a little while.

417. Are you seriously drinking a goddamn sparkling water right now?

418. If you weren't wearing my scarf, I'd kick your ass.

419. I think we should go.

420. Trust me, he's here

421. every Sunday, okay.

422. He'll show.

423. Jesus Christ, Rome. What are we gonna do?

424. We dump him

425. at a hospital...

426. Come up with an alternative course of action. That's our only option.

427. No. No hospital.

428. Then we split! Screw it!

429. I mean, you say it

430. all the time yourself,

431. there's casualties in every

432. revolution. All that matters

433. is the end result.

434. We got no time

435. to haul dead weight.

436. Fine! You wanna leave? Leave!

437. Screw this, man.

438. I need a hit.

439. I'll be better.

440. Just to get me

441. through this.

442. I can't let you do that.

443. One hit. You know, just to get me back on the road.

444. We don't have time.

445. This needs to happen now.

446. One hit.

447. Come on.

448. Let's go.

449. Excuse me, fella.

450. Are you looking

451. for something?

452. He could really use

453. a helping hand.

454. Okay, he can go in.

455. But only him.

456. No can do,

457. I gotta come with.

458. Only if you're partakin'.

459. Otherwise, he goes it alone.

460. Here you go.

461. Thirty.

462. Thirty.

463. The guy in the house, he'll set you up right.

464. As long as he... He doesn't kill you...

465. All right, look.

466. The minute you're done, you leave.

467. You don't look at

468. anyone. You don't

469. talk to anyone.

470. You take care

471. of business and you

472. get out. Okay?

473. Nod if you understand.

474. You want?

475. Hey! Big eyes!

476. It's all good man, go on.

477. I just...

478. I need morphine.

479. Pills?

480. Nah, man.

481. This is all we

482. got right here.

483. It's better.

484. Trust me.

485. Cool? There you go.

486. There you go.

487. I'll help.

488. It'll be okay.

489. I'll help.

490. One-eighty

491. over 75. And...

492. Have I sunk this low?

493. What must you think of me? Is it spring?

494. Election year? Shall I hibernate?

495. Did we meet? In money we trust.

496. No, I created...

497. Stop...

498. I can't control thoughts. I need this,

499. I know, I promised my last line, but...

500. Close your eyes.

501. Let's go!

502. For Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

503. Here's that seven-day forecast for the tri-state area.

504. Lots of clouds today. But we're mostly sunny through Thursday

505. with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s.

506. And you will notice the humidity will be a tad uncomfortable...

507. Dear brothers and sisters. Now is the time to open your eyes.

508. If you have not yet woken up to the reality of profiteering and enslavement

509. we've been warning you about,

510. I hope you realize we are fast running out of time.

511. The governments of the world and their corporate masters do not want us to speak.

512. Why? Because we unlock truths.

513. We expose villains. We exorcise demons. Citizens of the world,

514. we are here to help. If you have any interest in waking from your slumber

515. in retrieving lost, damaged or stolen memory, we are here for you.

516. We have your back. We are fsociety.

517. What's it open?

518. It belongs

519. to you now.

520. Made in the Orient.

521. Made just for your head.

522. Now, find your monster. Return the key.

523. But first. A word from

524. our corporate overlords.

525. If you see our logo, that means you can rest assured that you are buying

526. the best food, clothing, shelter, transportation, hygiene, electronics,

527. and life's necessities that money can buy.

528. Hello.

529. Hello, friend.

530. But we're not friends.

531. Can you tell me

532. what happened to

533. that house?

534. First, can you tell me, what's your monster?

535. I think you dropped this.

536. Ding dong ding

537. Ding dong ding

538. Don't be shy now.

539. You can come

540. closer.

541. Unsettling, I know.

542. Your pet beta fish,

543. chatting you up.

544. But time's money, Elliot.

545. You need something?

546. Your water, does it need changing?

547. When you live in

548. a fish bowl, ain't no

549. such thing as change.

550. My entire life's been spent in this thing. My whole world's on your side table.

551. I look around. Same shit, different day. The lighting, the furniture,

552. even the sounds,

553. always the same.

554. I'm on a loop.

555. And it won't stop

556. unless my life does.

557. I'm exhausted

558. with this world.

559. What can I do?

560. I want to help.

561. I think it's

562. pretty obvious.

563. There's really only one thing you can do for a brother in a fishbowl.

564. What is it?

565. Move him to

566. a goddamn window!

567. Angela,

568. he's my friend.

569. Yes, and

570. he's delicious.

571. Here.

572. Eat this. Open.

573. It's piping hot,

574. so consume

575. with caution.

576. Pop's famous

577. raspberry pie. Enjoy!

578. Mmm.

579. Yes.

580. Yes, yes!

581. Elliot! I do.

582. Elliot, I do.

583. I do.

584. Don't you know you're queen

585. Whipped

586. Heaving

587. Flower bloom at my feet

588. Don't you know you're queen

589. Cracked

590. Peelin'

591. Riddled with disease

592. Those people in there,

593. I just told them

594. what they wanted to hear.

595. Don't you know me

596. You're not gonna

597. do it, are you?

598. Change the world.

599. Figures.

600. You were only born

601. a month ago.

602. You're afraid.

603. Afraid of your monster.

604. Do you even know

605. what it is?

606. It doesn't fit.

607. Why not?

608. Isn't it obvious?

609. You're not Elliot.

610. You're the m...

611. Hello?

612. Hello?

613. Am I still alone?

771. I missed you. Where did you go? Did you leave or did I?

772. Maybe it was both. Or neither. Doesn't matter.

773. Do those hopeful moments scare me? Of course.

774. Daemons, remember?

775. At some point an "action without user interaction" will come along

776. and sweep my legs.

777. This spinning wheel of false highs and true lows will continue.

778. That much I know.

779. Daemons, they don't stop working.

780. They're always active.

781. They seduce. They manipulate. They own us.

782. And even though you're with me,

783. even though I created you, it makes no difference.

784. We all must deal with them alone.

785. The best we can hope for,

786. the only silver lining to all this,

787. is that when we break through,

788. we find a few familiar faces

789. waiting on the other side.
