Mr. Robot 1x8

1. The redundant backups,

2. their Eastern data center

3. in China...

4. The Dark Army

5. is covering us on that.

6. We can go now.

7. If we move forward

8. and they don't

9. China still holds all the redundant information.

10. It will be pointless.

11. If we can talk to Whiterose directly...

12. No way he's meeting

13. you face-to-face.

14. You fools actually

15. got your wish.

16. I don't know why,

17. but the meeting's

18. actually gonna be on.

19. I'd tell you to be careful but I know that's the last thing you're gonna be.

20. I had the sys admin check that server again. Of course there was nothing.

21. I have no idea what there was to even be suspicious about.

22. Why do you have my work ID?

23. I placed a malicious CD

24. in my work computer.

25. I need you to do

26. something for me.

27. Our new Chief

28. Technology Officer,

29. Scott Knowles.

30. Meet me tonight on the roof.

31. The cameras have been out since March. No one will know.

32. Stop!

33. What if this all went away?

34. The city. The money.

35. All of it.

36. What? Like a zombie apocalypse or something?

37. More like a revolution.

38. Last time we hooked up, we agreed to check politics at the door.

39. There's no middle anymore. It's just rich and poor.

40. Okay. This shit

41. is way too heavy

42. for me this early.

43. Right.

44. I gotta go to work.

45. Solving the world's problems one spreadsheet at a time.

46. Hey, it's either suits like me or the government.

47. And we all know how well

48. they handle things.

49. Why can't the world just take care of itself?

50. Because the world is filled with stupid people.

51. And I get paid a lot

52. to be smart.

53. Hey...

54. There's not just

55. the rich and the poor.

56. There's you in the middle somewhere, the consummate survivor.

57. I'm in a ballet class right now.

58. No, Ollie,

59. I can't talk to you

60. about this right now.

61. I don't care, Ollie.

62. I don't care who

63. you ran into or

64. what he said.

65. Sorry.

66. Tell me you're not getting back together with him.

67. Jesus, no. No. Just

68. leftover work stuff.

69. Have you talked to Elliot?

70. Yesterday.

71. Seems like he's pulling himself together, but you know how he is.

72. Feels like I'm always

73. worried about him, you know?

74. Yeah.

75. He's had a shitty month.

76. Or 20 years,

77. take your pick.

78. Then, why are we the ones

79. that always end up

80. so stressed?

81. Try waking up in your childhood bedroom,

82. then taking Jersey Transit for two hours

83. to make a 7:00

84. ballet class

85. in the city.

86. Well, silver lining, you get to see moi.

87. All right, everyone.

88. First position.

89. I hurt Krista.

90. I don't feel good about that.

91. I hope you're not mad at me.

92. But you have to admit

93. she's just like everyone else.

94. Too afraid to peek

95. over their walls, for fear

96. of what they might see.

97. Not me. That's what I do.

98. I look.

99. Did you get

100. everybody back?

101. Tell him to follow the proper commands or the sequence won't initiate.

102. Using the back door,

103. we planted with

104. our Raspberry Pi.

105. Jesus Christ, man.

106. How long have you

107. been sitting on all this?

108. I installed a patch

109. four weeks ago and I've

110. been monitoring it daily.

111. No rest for the wicked.

112. I wanted to make sure

113. it was all updated at

114. the Steel Mountain locations

115. before the meeting

116. with Whiterose.

117. Yeah.

118. These AirDream guys

119. are so dumb.

120. Who has all their

121. thermostats phone home

122. to the same network?

123. I'll sync up all five

124. locations so they heat

125. at exactly the same rate.

126. No offense, but I'll handle

127. that. You should take care

128. of the alarms,

129. so there's no signal

130. of the temp raise

131. in any vaults.

132. No, reroute

133. AirDream's traffic.

134. Make sure to erase any

135. and all signs of our activity.

136. Where were you?

137. I need a word.

138. I gotta get to work.

139. Not sure that's wise.

140. What the hell is that?

141. They're following me.

142. And they're probably

143. following you too.

144. They were on the subway.

145. Okay, Cisco's warned me

146. about them.

147. These guys are

148. dangerous, Elliot.

149. The Whiterose meet

150. might not go down

151. the way we want it to.

152. Yeah, well, I don't even know

153. how to use a gun.

154. Besides, I'm not

155. even sure I'm the one

156. they wanna meet with.

157. You're definitely the one

158. they want to meet with.

159. And when you do,

160. you need to be careful.

161. I'm serious, Elliot.

162. - What are you doing? - I'm calling myself from your phone,

163. that way we have

164. each other's number.

165. Wait, Darlene. We don't do that.

166. That's to protect fsociety. Okay, but we need to protect each other right now.

167. Lose Darlene's number.

168. It's a rule for a reason.

169. Don't worry,

170. I'm not gonna use it.

171. She's right about

172. one thing.

173. You're the one

174. they wanna talk to.

175. We can't afford

176. any distractions.

177. He's so obvious,

178. why don't you just

179. kill me now?

180. Oh! Jesus, Blake! Were you fucking tip-toeing?

181. God damn it,

182. look what you've done.

183. Watch where you're going!

184. But you...

185. Good morning.

186. Not now, Elizabeth.

187. Hold all calls.

188. Cancel any meetings.

189. I'm busy today.

190. But, Mr. Wellick.

191. Gideon Goddard

192. is here to see you.

193. I'm sorry.

194. He was very persistent.

195. He wouldn't leave.

196. Okay.

197. Okay.

198. No, that's fine.

199. Uh, do you want me to, uh...

200. Thank you.

201. Oh, yes. I'd love some coffee.

202. One of my employees

203. confessed to breaking

204. chain of custody

205. with the Colby. DAT file.

206. Unfortunately, this admission

207. will render the

208. evidence inadmissible,

209. and Colby free of charges. Now before you say anything, I want to assure you

210. that Allsafe has doubled its efforts to find the hackers,

211. whether it be reconfirming Colby's involvement,

212. or finding the real perpetrators.

213. We've air gapped

214. your private network,

215. implemented a honeypot, reconfigured all firewalls,

216. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

217. and systematically...

218. A honeypot? For what?

219. Uh, a specific server involved in the last fsociety attack.

220. CS30.

221. I know we checked it out,

222. but if there's

223. even a chance

224. the hackers are

225. still in the network,

226. the honeypot will ensure

227. that they can't

228. cause any damage.

229. They'll log into the decoy server we've set up thinking they're on your main network.

230. And I'm personally keeping tabs on all traffic.

231. So you have

232. our full attention.

233. Well, I appreciate

234. your transparency.

235. Well, so, you understand then?

236. Of course.

237. Good.

238. In fact, I'd like to look over your findings,

239. especially this server.

240. So, please send me

241. the research.

242. Yeah.

243. Of course.

244. Of course.

245. Well, thank you again

246. for seeing me.

247. Mr. Wellick?

248. Mr. Wellick?

249. I specifically asked

250. not to be disturbed.

251. I know, but, um...

252. What is it?

253. The police.

254. It's awful.

255. What about the police?

256. They found a body

257. on the roof.

258. A body? Who?

259. They're not saying, but detectives came by. They want to speak with you.

260. With me?

261. They're questioning

262. everyone who was at the

263. reception last night.

264. Clearly this is tragic, but unfortunately work goes on.

265. But don't you think

266. you should...

267. Tell them,

268. they can set

269. an appointment.

270. I'd be happy to speak

271. with them then.

272. Oh, and Elizabeth,

273. I need you to connect me with the Dulles Server Farm.

274. I'll take it on my mobile.

275. And the file shares? 'Cause client data is inaccessible until we're back online.

276. Jumping on that now.

277. Check the logs on

278. the ASA firewall.

279. I want a full report.

280. Ollie, sales.

281. All appointments at Allsafe

282. are canceled

283. until further notice.

284. Word of this cannot get out.

285. All right, let's get to it.

286. This hack is

287. far from devastating.

288. They already own us.

289. They're not going after anything valuable.

290. This is more of a distraction.

291. But what are they trying to distract us from?

292. Hey, bro.

293. Always the chatterbox.

294. You're sweating.

295. Oh, yeah?

296. Yeah, yeah, maybe a little.

297. Been running around.

298. Um, look, I sort of need you to handle something for me.

299. What've they got you

300. doing here?

301. I'm trying to

302. reverse engineer

303. the malware.

304. Okay, um,

305. I'm gonna need you

306. to stop doing that

307. and take these

308. corrupted drives over to

309. Blank's Disk Recovery

310. on 36th and Fifth.

311. Why me? Get one of the IT guys.

312. Everyone is swamped, Elliot.

313. Dude, this isn't,

314. like, a debate.

315. I've always wanted things

316. to be cool between us, but...

317. I outrank you.

318. So...

319. Here are the drives.

320. Your appointment is at 2:00.

321. You cannot be late.

322. In fact, um, how about

323. you leave right now?

324. It's only 12:00.

325. Elliot, bro.

326. Just, just do me

327. this solid, okay?

328. He wasn't just stressed.

329. He was scared.

330. Let's see what he's hiding.

331. What does Angela have to do with this?

332. Well...

333. Why didn't you tell me?

334. And say what?

335. "Hey, Elliot, there's a bunch of nude pics of me that some asshole wants to leak online?"

336. I could've helped.

337. You weren't around.

338. Yeah.

339. I've kind of had

340. a rough month.

341. I'm sorry.

342. Tell me what happened.

343. We were being pressured.

344. By who?

345. Some guy.

346. He gave Ollie a CD

347. that infected his laptop,

348. stole his pictures,

349. his emails,

350. and browser cache.

351. He said to install the disk at Allsafe or he would leak everything online.

352. It was a while ago. I thought he forgot about us.

353. I was right, the hack was a distraction.

354. This is about me. This is the meeting.

355. You should've come to me.

356. I told you, you weren't there.

357. You're never there anymore.

358. Something is going on

359. with you, Elliot.

360. You have not been the same the past couple of months,

361. and this happened

362. before Shayla.

363. You're lying.

364. You're wrong.

365. You don't talk

366. to me anymore.

367. Just tell me

368. what to do here,

369. because the only solution I can think of is to give up.

370. God, say something.

371. You're right.

372. We don't talk anymore.

373. It's so strange.

374. I really miss us.

375. Why is that strange?

376. Because I never thought

377. I'd have to.

378. Hackers.

379. We inherently trust no one, including each other.

380. I'll never be able to tell her.

381. There will always be this divide,

382. my wall that she can't look over.

383. And she knows it.

384. Trust issues.

385. The Dark Army has taken extraordinary steps

386. to make sure this meeting is exactly how they want it.

387. Is that why the infamous Whiterose is such a legend?

388. Because he's more paranoid than the rest of us?

389. I'm Elliot Alderson.

390. A Faraday cage.

391. A room specifically designed to prevent electromagnetic interference.

392. No radio. No signal.

393. No Wi-Fi. Nothing to hack.

394. I think I'm here to see you.

395. Am I supposed to follow you?

396. Are you just

397. going to stand there?

398. Or do you want to

399. hand me those drives?

400. Mmm, mmm, mmm.

401. This meeting has started.

402. I manage my time

403. very carefully,

404. Mr. Alderson.

405. Each beep indicates one minute of my time that has passed.

406. I have allotted you no more than three minutes.

407. Are you really gonna do that?

408. I suggest you pick

409. better topics of

410. conversation.

411. I have 17 more items

412. on my agenda today.

413. The Evil Corp hack.

414. We should go through

415. with it this time.

416. You are turning out to be

417. a grave disappointment.

418. We were ready.

419. We had everything

420. set to go.

421. Dwelling is so inefficient.

422. Hey, you pulled out last time.

423. Wasting more time telling me things I already know, tsk, tsk, tsk.

424. But we were ready.

425. That is the third time that

426. you have expressed that.

427. She's trolling me.

428. You have not advanced

429. this conversation.

430. Do you intend to?

431. Since last month,

432. Evil Corp has moved

433. its tapes to...

434. Five backup facilities,

435. and you have a plan to

436. take them all down?

437. Yes.

438. Finally, you have

439. communicated something.

440. So are you ready

441. to do this or not?

442. You are the one

443. who is not ready.

444. It was you who

445. failed all along.

446. What you lacked was focus.

447. You strayed from the hack

448. to target Terry Colby.

449. This opened a vulnerability.

450. Suspicion. Specifically

451. by Gideon Goddard.

452. That's why you hacked Allsafe.

453. To monitor his activities.

454. And that's when we discovered

455. that he turned your infected server

456. into a honeypot.

457. Oh, 60 seconds and this meeting will be over.

458. Wait.

459. The concept of

460. "waiting" bewilders me.

461. There are always deadlines, there are always ticking clocks.

462. That's why you must

463. manage your time.

464. I'll find a way to

465. remove the honeypot.

466. Until 16 seconds ago,

467. you were not aware

468. there was a honeypot.

469. This does not

470. inspire confidence.

471. Wait.

472. There's that word again.

473. We'll take care of it.

474. You know, you could have told us about the honeypot weeks ago.

475. Every hacker has her

476. fixation. You hack

477. people, I hack time.

478. So you should know that

479. when I set a timeline,

480. there's a reason.

481. You have 50 hours

482. and 23 minutes.

483. At that point when all

484. parties are ready we will

485. initiate the hack.

486. We'll do it.

487. Maybe next time...

488. Understand something,

489. Mr. Alderson.

490. After I leave,

491. you will never

492. see me again.

493. There are very people

494. in my life that I have

495. enough time to see

496. more than once and

497. you are not one of them.

498. Trust me.

499. That's not going to matter.

500. Why are you doing all of this?

501. The hack?

502. Why are you working with us?

503. 50 hours and 20 minutes left.

504. I need to figure this out.

505. Gideon's been spying on me the whole time.

506. Honeypot service order. Shit.

507. I gotta do that now. Security token.

508. Gideon's phone. I need his phone.

509. 50 hours and 19 minutes left.

510. Damn. She infected me with her time paranoia.

511. We're all living in each other's paranoia.

512. You definitely can't argue that.

513. Is that why everyone tries to avoid each other?

514. I need to calm down.

515. I wish I could be an observer like you.

516. Then I could think more calmly.

517. This is comfortable.

518. Less stressful.

519. In fact, I feel like I can see everything,

520. know everything this way.

521. Hmm...

522. Do you know more than me?

523. That wouldn't be fair.

524. My imaginary friend knowing more than me.

525. So what would you do now?

526. We need a distraction to get Gideon's phone.

527. Darlene?

528. I need you to do something for me.

529. She can help.

530. My boss at Allsafe, Gideon.

531. Sometimes it's hard to listen to an explanation.

532. Even when it's from myself.

533. Especially when it's from myself.

534. It would be so much easier to only pay attention when I needed to.

535. Yeah.

536. To just...

537. Arrive at the conclusion.

538. Is that what you do?

539. One hundred large MMS files to Gideon's phone, drained it.

540. Corporate greed is a trickle-down desire

541. that reaches even the bottom of the food chain.

542. And for what? Wealth?

543. What the shit?

544. Power?

545. It's a pathetic fable and you,

546. Allsafe, are a defender of this pitiful avarice...

547. Holy shit.

548. Fsociety knows us.

549. But your sweet dream is over, and your nightmare is about to begin.

550. We are warned that those who are complicit...

551. What the hell's happening now? those who aide the tyrant,

552. those who accept the tyranny,

553. have no place

554. in the new order.

555. The distraction is momentary.

556. Hopefully all I need.

557. They will know ourjustice and we will show no mercy.

558. Gideon Goddard,

559. you are a lackey to your corporate overlords.

560. Someone shut this off.

561. Defending those that bleed the innocent.

562. Serving them. Slave to master.

563. It's ignoring

564. the remote.

565. They hacked our Smart TV.

566. Congratulations,

567. Mr. Goddard.

568. It's posting to our website.

569. And YouTube.

570. You will soon be finished.

571. In 90 seconds this code will change.

572. If I don't log in with it on my computer before then,

573. I'll lose everything to time.

574. We are exposing your role to the world.

575. No, let it finish.

576. And the world is very angry.

577. Sixty seconds. Whiterose was right.

578. We run from one deadline to the next.

579. Where's Elliot?

580. What are you doing?

581. I was working on

582. the local backups.

583. Why weren't you

584. in there with us?

585. I was worried about the...

586. It just doesn't add up.

587. All these events

588. keep happening

589. around your appearance,

590. your disappearance.

591. Gideon...

592. Forget it.

593. I don't want to hear it.

594. Every member in this company

595. stood in there watching

596. the single worst thing

597. that's happened to Allsafe,

598. and where are you?

599. At your cubicle?

600. Doing what?

601. Gideon, I hate to

602. interrupt you, but...

603. No, not now, Ollie.

604. Evil Corp's on the phone.

605. I'll be back. We're not finished here.

606. I know, you thought

607. I didn't put the code in time,

608. but I had to hide it quickly

609. before Gideon saw it.

610. Sorry.

611. Have I told you what I saw when I hacked Gideon?

612. When I peeked into his secrets?

613. I saw a good, honest man.

614. Gideon was wrong.

615. I am finished here.

616. I'm not good for him or this place.

617. He was only protecting his people.

618. But me?

619. I'm doing this to protect everyone.

620. It seems you've been very busy lately.

621. I have to know

622. what you're planning.

623. We were meant to be allies.

624. We might just want

625. the same thing.

626. And I need to be involved.

627. I'm pretty positive

628. you're dead wrong

629. about that, my friend.

630. I don't think there's anything we could possibly agree on.

631. I don't know what game

632. you're playing,

633. but I suggest you

634. cut the bullshit.

635. If there's nothing else,

636. I think we're done here.

637. Aren't you forgetting

638. that I know your

639. dirty little secret?

640. There are people close to you

641. that wouldn't be happy

642. if they knew what I know.

643. We're both too smart

644. to allow pettiness

645. to dictate our actions.

646. We're better than that.

647. Weigh the pros and cons.

648. Do what you need to do,

649. but as soon as the tabulations are over with,

650. you'll know that telling anyone about that does neither one of us any good.

651. In fact, you'll realize that

652. the only thing to do in your position when it comes to me,

653. is nothing.

654. Good evening,

655. Mr. Wellick.

656. I'm Detective Quattlander, this is Detective Jones.

657. As I know you're aware,

658. we were hoping

659. to speak with you

660. at your office today,

661. but your assistant

662. said you're out.

663. What's this about?

664. We're investigating

665. a murder that occurred

666. at your husband's place

667. of employment, ma'am.

668. May we please come in?

669. A murder?

670. Ma'am, do you mind speaking in English, please?

671. I think this

672. is inappropriate,

673. you coming to

674. my house like this,

675. upsetting my wife.

676. I will be in my

677. office tomorrow.

678. Mr. Wellick,

679. as you can imagine, this is very time-sensitive.

680. We just need to ask you a few questions.

681. Actually, both of you,

682. since you were both in attendance at the reception last night.

683. Yeah, I can assure you,

684. we have no information whatsoever.

685. It'll only take a moment.

686. And you both did know the deceased, Sharon Knowles.

687. You did know her, yes?

688. Sharon Knowles?

689. That's terrible.

690. Um, yes, yes,

691. we did know her.

692. Please, come in.

693. Have a seat.

694. Can I get you anything?

695. Coffee, tea?

696. Coffee would be great.

697. Tea, herbal

698. if possible, please.

699. Mr. Wellick.

700. What time did you last see Sharon Knowles last night?

701. Mr. Wellick?

702. Are you okay?

703. Ahhh!

704. Joanna?

705. Uh, I think the baby's coming. We gotta get her to the hospital.

706. Okay?

707. How'd it go with the

708. climate control hack?

709. Handled.

710. I happen to be really smart and good at things.

711. Not like you

712. give a shit.

713. We should celebrate then.

714. In 43 hours,

715. exactly,

716. our server will

717. no longer be a honeypot,

718. and that rootkit

719. you wrote,

720. will take down

721. Evil Corp.

722. We did it, Darlene.

723. It's gonna happen.

724. We're really doing this?

725. Whoo!

726. Oh, my God.

727. Be happy.

728. You did this.

729. You did it.

730. Just like that, Elliot, you're gonna change the world.

731. We did this.

732. I would love to take credit on this one.

733. But I can't.

734. No, really, this was you.

735. You are seriously

736. the best person I know, you know that?

737. I love you so much.

738. Oh, my God, Elliot!

739. What the fuck?

740. I'm sorry.

741. What the hell

742. is wrong with you?

743. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

744. I thought...

745. I just...

746. I'm sorry.

747. Oh, my God, Elliot.

748. Did you forget again?

749. Did you forget who I am?

750. What do you mean?

751. Forget what?

752. Elliot, I need you to tell me

753. who you think I am.

754. What are you talking about?

755. Tell me right now.

756. What are you saying?

757. Elliot...

758. I mean of course I did...

759. Didn't forget.

760. You're Darlene.

761. You're Darlene.

762. Elliot.

763. You're Darlene.

764. I know.

765. I know what she's

766. going to say.

767. I'm your...

768. Sister.

769. You're my sister.

770. Darlene and I'd hide in movie theaters all day.

771. Darlene would sing, Frère Jacques.

772. She rode her scooter in front of our house.

773. I'm crazy. I'm crazy. I'm crazy. I'm crazy.

774. She tried to run away in the third grade.

775. How come I didn't remember that?

776. We slept in the same bed when our mom was mean to us.

777. Why did I forget? I remember her voice.

778. How could I forget?

779. I'm crazy. I'm crazy.

780. I'm crazy. I'm crazy. I'm crazy.

781. Are you freaking out?

782. Tell me the truth.

783. Were you in on this the whole time?

784. Were you?

785. Think, God damn it, think.

786. How can I just forget her like that?

787. A whole person, a relationship.

788. Is this amnesia? What else am I not remembering?

789. I'm crazy. I should have stayed on the meds.

790. I'm crazy. I'm out of my mind.

791. I knew it. I should have never created you,

792. I should have listened to Krista.

793. I avoid myself.

794. Why?

795. I'm afraid.

796. Okay.

797. Afraid of what?

798. Finding too much, too little, nothing at all?

799. Do I even exist?

800. See me.

801. Elliot Alderson.

802. I am here.

803. Now I'm gone.

804. We have to hack...

805. Me.

806. Nothing.

807. No identity.

808. I'm a ghost.

809. Did I erase myself?

810. I think we should talk.
