Mr. Robot (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - eps1.7_wh1ter0se.m4v - full transcript
Allsafe is hacked and Elliot is meeting White Rose. Tyrell is interrogated by the police and Elliot remembers who he really is.
The redundant bacthe Dark Army
easteris covering us on that.
We can go now!
If we move forward
and they don't,
China still holds all
the redundant information.
It will be pointless.
If we can talk
to whiterose directly--
No way he's meeting you
face to face.
You fools actually
got your wish.
I don't know why, but the
meeting's actually gonna be on.
I'd tell you to be careful,
but I know that's
the last thing you're gonna be.
I had the sysadmin
check that server again.
Of course,
there was nothing.
I have no idea what there was
to even be suspicious about.
Why do you have
my work ID?
I placed a malicious CD
in my work computer.
I need you
to do something for me.
Our new Chief
Technology Officer,
Scott Knowles.
Meet me tonight,
on the roof.
Cameras have been out
since March.
No one will know.
[moans]
[choking]
Stop!
[distant sirens]
(Darlene)
What if this all went away?
The city.
The money.
All of it.
(man)
What, like a zombie apocalypse
or something?
More like
a revolution.
Last time we hooked up,
we agreed to check
politics at the door.
There's no middle
anymore.
Just rich and poor.
Okay, this shit is way too
heavy for me this early.
I gotta go to work.
Right.
Solving the world's problems
one spreadsheet at a time.
Hey, it's either suits like me
or the government.
We all know how well
they handle things.
Why can't the world
just take care of itself?
Because the world is filled
with stupid people.
And I get paid a lot
to be smart.
Hey.
There's not just
the rich and the poor.
There's you,
in the middle somewhere.
The consummate survivor.

I--I'm in a ballet class
right now.
No, Ollie, I can't talk to you
about this right now.
I don't care, Ollie.
I don't care
who you ran into
or what he said.
I...
[scoffs]
Sorry.
Tell me you're not
getting back together with him.
Jesus, no.
No.
Just leftover work stuff.
Have you talked
to Elliot?
Yesterday.
Seems like he's
pulling himself together,
but you know how he is.
It feels like I'm always
worried about him.
- You know?
- Yeah.
He's had a shitty month.
Or 20 years.
Take your pick.
Then why are we the ones
that always end up
so stressed?
Try waking up
in your childhood bedroom,
then taking Jersey
transit for two hours
to make a 7:00 ballet class
in the city.
Well, silver lining,
you get to see moi.
All right, everyone,
first position.

I hurt Krista.
I don't feel good
about that.
I hope you're not
mad at me.

everyone else.
Too afraid to peek over

they might see.

Using the backdoor we planted
with our raspberry pie.
Jesus Christ, man, how long have
you been sitting on all this?
I installed a patch
four weeks ago,
and I've been
monitoring it daily.
No rest for the wicked.
I wanted to make sure
it was all updated
at the Steel Mountain
locations
before the meeting
with whiterose.
Yeah, those Airdream guys
are so dumb.
Who has all their thermostats
phone home the same network?
I'll sync up
all five locations
so they heat at exactly
the same rate.
No offense,
but I'll handle that.
You should take care
of the alarms,
so there's not a signal of
the temp raising in the vaults.
[phone vibrates]
- No, reroute
Airdream's traffic.
Make sure to erase and and all
signs of our activity.
- Where were you?
- I need a word.
I gotta get to work.
I'm not sure
that's wise.
What the hell is that?
They're following me
and they're probably
following you too.
They were on
the subway, okay?
Cisco's warned me
about them.
These guys are dangerous,
Elliot.
The whiterose meet might not
go down the way we want it to.
Yeah.
Well, I don't even know
how to use a gun.
Besides, I'm not even sure I'm
the one they wanna meet with.
You're definitely the one
they wanna meet with.
And when you do,
you need to be careful.
I'm serious, Elliot.
What are you doing?
I'm calling myself
from your phone.
That way we have
each other's number.
Wait, Darlene,
we don't do that.
That's to protect fsociety.
Okay, but we need to protect
each other right now.
[dark music]
♪
Lose Darlene's number.
It's a rule for a reason.
Don't worry,
I'm not gonna use it.
She's right about
one thing.
You're the one
they want to talk to.
We can't afford
any distractions.

(woman)
My boss invited me
He's so obvious.treat again.
Why don't you just
kill me now?
Oh!
Jesus, Blake!
Were you f---ing tiptoeing?
God damn it,
look what you've done.
Watch where you're going!
- But you--
- Good morning.
Not now, Elizabeth.
Hold all calls.
Cancel any meetings.
I'm busy today.
But, Mr. Wellick,
Gideon Goddard
is here to see you.
I'm sorry.
He was very persistent.
He wouldn't leave.
Okay.
Okay, no, that's fine.
Thank you.
Um, do you want me to, uh...
[snickers]
Oh, yes,
I'd love some coffee.
[laughs]
One of my employees
confessed to
breaking chain of custody
with the Colby dat file.
Unfortunately,
this admission
will render the evidence
inadmissible
and Colby free of charges.
Now before you say
anything,
I want to assure you that
Allsafe has doubled its efforts
to find the hackers,
whether it be reconfirming
Colby's involvement
or finding the real
perpetrators.
We've air-gapped
your private network,
implemented a honeypot,
reconfigured all the firewalls
and systematically--
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait.
A honeypot, for what?
A specific server involved
in the last fsociety attack,
CS30.
I know we checked it out,
but if there's even a chance
the hackers are still
in the network,
the honeypot will ensure that
they can't cause any damage.
They'll log into the decoy
server we've set up,
thinking they're on
the main network.
And I'm personally
keeping tabs on all traffic.
So you have
our full attention.
[cell phone vibrates]
Well, I appreciate
your transparency.
Well, so you
understand then.
Of course.
In fact, I'd like
to look over your findings,
especially this server.
So, please send me
the research.
Of course, of course.
Well, thank you again
for seeing me.

Mr. Wellick!
I specifically asked
not to be disturbed.
I know, but, um--
What is it?
The police.
It's awful.
What about the police?
They found a body
on the roof.
A body?
Who?
They're not saying,
but detectives came by.
They want to speak with you.
With me?
(Elizabeth)
They're questioning everyone
who was at the reception
last night.
Clearly, this is tragic,
but unfortunately work goes on.
But don't you think
you should--
Tell them they can
set an appointment.
I'd be happy
to speak with them then.
Oh, and, Elizabeth,
I need you to connect me
with the Dulles Server Farm.
I'll take it
on my mobile.
And the file shares?
'Cause client data
is inaccessible
until we're back online.
Jumping on that now.
Check the logs
on the ASA firewall.
I want a full report.
Ollie, sales.
All appointments at Allsafe
are cancelled until
further notice.
Word of this
cannot get out.
All right,
let's get to it.
(Elliot voice-over)
This hack is far
They already own us.
They're not going
after anything valuable.
This is more
of a distraction.
But what are they trying
to distract us from?
Hey, bro.
Always the chatterbox.
You're sweating.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, maybe a little.
Been running around.
Um, look, I sorta need you
to handle something for me.
What have they got you
doing here?
Trying to reverse engineer
the malware.
Okay, um, I'm gonna need you
to stop doing that
and take these
corrupted drives
over to Blank's Disk Recovery
on 36th and 5th.
Why me?
Get one of the IT guys.
Everyone is swamped, Elliot.
Dude, this isn't, like,
a debate.
I've always wanted things
to be cool between us,
but I outrank you.
So...
Here are the drives.
Your appointment
is at 2:00.
You cannot be late.
In fact, um, how 'bout
you leave right now?
It's only 12:00.
Elliot, bro, just--
just do me this solid, okay?
(Elliot voice-over)
He wasn't just stressed.
He was scared.
Let's see what he's hiding.

What does Angela

[tense music]
♪
Why didn't you tell me?
And say what?
"Hey, Elliot, there's
a bunch of nude pics of me
that some asshole wants
to leak online"?
I could have helped.
You weren't around.
Yeah.
Kinda had
a rough month.
I'm sorry.
Tell me what happened.
We were being pressured.
By who?
Some guy.
He gave Ollie a CD
that infected his laptop,
stole his pictures, his emails,
and browser cache.
He said to install
the disk at Allsafe,
or he would leak
everything online.
It was a while ago.
I thought
he forgot about us.
(Elliot voice-over)
I was right.
The hack was a distraction.
This is about me.
This is the meeting.
You should have
come to me.
I told you,
you weren't there.
You're never there anymore.
Something is going on
with you, Elliot.
You have not been the same
the past couple of months,
and this happened
before Shayla.
You're wrong.
You're lying!
You don't talk to me
anymore!
Just tell me
what to do here!
Because the only solution
I can think of
is to give up.
God, say something!
You're right.
We don't talk anymore.
It's so strange.
I really miss us.
Why is that strange?
Because I never thought
I'd have to.
(Elliot voice-over)
Hackers.
We inherently trust no one,
including each other.
I'll never be able
to tell her.
There will always be
this divide,
my wall that
she can't look over.
And she knows it.
(ElThe Dark Armyer)
has taken extraordinary steps
to make sure this meeting's
exactly how they want it.
Is that why the infamous
whiterose is such a legend?
Because he's more paranoid
than the rest of us?
I'm Elliot. Alderson.

A Faraday cage.
A room specifically designed
to prevent electromagnetic
interference.
No radio, no signal,
no WiFi, nothing to hack.
I think I'm here
to see you.
Am I supposed
to follow you?
Are you just going
to stand there
or do you want
to hand me those drives?
Mm-mm-mm.
[beep]
This meeting has started.
I manage my time
very carefully, Mr. Alderson.
Each beep indicates
one minute of my time
that has passed.
I have allotted you
no more than three minutes.
Are you really
gonna do that?
I suggest you pick
better topics of conversation.
I have 17 more items
on my agenda today.
The Evil Corp hack,
we should go through
with it this time.
You are turning out to be
a grave disappointment.
We were ready.
We had everything set to go.
Dwelling is
so inefficient.
Hey, you pulled out
last time.
Wasting more time,
telling me things
I already know.
- [clicks tongue]
- But we were ready.
That is the third time
that you have expressed that.
(Elliot voice-over)
She's trolling me.
[beep]
You have not advanced
this conversation.
Do you intend to?
Since last month,
Evil Corp has moved
its tapes to five--
Backup facilities,
and you have a plan
to take them all down.
Yes.
Finally, you have
communicated something.
So are you ready
to do this or not?
You are the one
who is not ready.
It was you
who failed all along.
What you've lacked
was focus.
You strayed from the hack
to target Terry Colby.
This opened
a vulnerability.
Suspicion.
Specifically by
Gideon Goddard.
That's why
you hacked Allsafe.
To monitor his activities.
And that's when
we discovered
that he turned your infected
server into a honeypot.
[beep]
Oh, 60 seconds and this
meeting will be over.
Wait.
The concept of waiting
bewilders me.
There are always deadlines.
There are always
ticking clocks.
That's why you must
manage your time.
I'll find a way
to remove the honeypot.
Until 16 seconds ago,
you were not aware
there was a honeypot.
This does not
inspire confidence.
- Wait.
- There's that word again.
We'll take care of it.
You know you could have told us
about the honeypot weeks ago.
Every hacker
has her fixation.
You hack people,
I hack time.
So you should know that
when I set a time line,
there's a reason.
You have 50 hours
and 23 minutes.
At that point,
when all parties are ready,
we will initiate
the hack.
We'll do it.
Maybe next time--
Understand something,
Mr. Alderson.
After I leave,
you will never
see me again.
There are very few people
in my life
that I have enough time
to see more than once,
and you are not
one of them.
Trust me,
that's not
going to matter.
Why are you doing
all of this?
The hack?
Why are you working
with us?
[beep]
(Elliot voice-over)
50 hours and 20 minutes left.
I need to figure this out.
Gideon's been spying on me
the whole time.
Honeypot service order, shit.
I gotta do that now.
Security token.
Gideon's phone.
I need his phone.
50 hours and 19 minutes left.
Damn, she infected me
with her time paranoia.
We're all living
in each other's paranoia.
You definitely
can't argue that.
Is that why everyone
tries to avoid each other?
I need to calm down.
I wish I could be
an observer like you.
Then I could think
more calmly.

This is comfortable.
Less stressful.
In fact, I feel like
I can see everything,
know everything this way.
Hmm.
Do you know more than me?
That wouldn't be fair,
my imaginary friend
knowing more than me.
So what would you do now?
We need a distraction
to get Gideon's phone.
Darlene, I need you
to do something for me.
(Elliot voice-over)
She can help.
My boss at Allstate, Gideon--
(Elliot voice-over)
Sometimes it's hard
to listen to an explanation,
even when
it's from myself.
Especially when
it's from myself.
It would be so much easier
to only pay attention
when I needed to.
To just--
Arrive at the conclusion.
Is that what you do?
[indistinct chatter]
(Elliot voice-over)
100 large MMS files

Drained it.
Corporate greed
is a trickle down desire
that reaches even the bottom
of the food chain.
- And for what?
- What the shit?
(masked man)
Wealth? Power?
It's a pathetic fable,
and you, Allsafe, are a defender
of this pitiful avarice.
Holy shit,
fsociety knows us.
(masked man)
But your sweet dream is over,
and your nightmare
is about to begin.
We have won.
Let those who are complicit...
What the hell's
happening now?

Those who aid the tyrants,
those who accept the tyranny
have no place
in the new order.
(Elliot voice-over)
The distraction is momentary.
Hopefully all I need.
(masked man)
They will know our justice,
and we will show no mercy.
Gideon Goddard,
you are a lackey
to your corporate overlords.
Someone shut this off.
(masked man)
Defending those
that bleed the innocent.
Serving them,
slave to master.
It's ignoring
the remote.
They hacked
our smart TV.
(masked man)
Congratulations, Mr. Goddard.
It's posted
to our website.
And YouTube.
(masked man)
You will soon be finished.
(Elliot voice-over)
In 90 seconds
this code will change.
If I don't log in with it
on my computer before then,
I'll lose everything to time.
We are exposing
your role to the world.
No, let it finish.
And the world is very angry.
[sustained beep]
(Elliot voice-over)
60 seconds.
Whiterose was right.
We run from one deadline
to the next.
Where's Elliot?
What are you doing?
I was working
on the local backups.
Why weren't you
in there with us?
I was worried about the--
It just doesn't add up.
All these events
keep happening
around your appearance,
your disappearance.
- Gideon--
- Forget it.
I don't wanna hear it.
Every member in this company
stood in there,
watching the single worst thing
that's happened to Allsafe,
and where are you,
at your cubicle?
Doing what?
(Ollie)
Uh, Gideon,
I hate to interrupt...
No, not now, Ollie.
But Evil Corp's
on the phone.
I'll be back.
We're not finished here.
(Elliot voice-over)
I know.
You thought I didn't
put the code in time,
but I had to hide it quickly
before Gideon saw it.
Sorry.
Have I told you what I saw
when I hacked Gideon?
When I peeked
into his secrets?
I saw a good, honest man.
Gideon was wrong.
I am finished here.
I'm no good for him
or this place.
He was only
protecting his people.
But me?
I'm doing this
to protect everyone.
(Tyrell)
Seems you've been
very busy lately.
I have to know
what you're planning.
We were meant to be allies.
We might just
want the same thing,
and I need
to be involved.
I'm pretty positive you're dead
wrong about that, my friend.
I don't think there's anything
we could possibly agree on.
I don't know
what game you're playing,
but I suggest
you cut the bullshit.
If there's nothing else,
I think we're done here.
Aren't you forgetting that
I know your dirty little secret?
There are people close to you
that wouldn't be happy
if they knew what I know.
We're both too smart
to allow pettiness
to dictate our actions.
We're better than that.
Weigh the pros and cons.
Do what you need to do.
As soon as the tabulations
are over with,
you'll know that telling
anyone about that
does neither one of us
any good.
In fact,
you'll realize
that the only thing to do
in your position
when it comes to me
is nothing.

you're out.
What's this about?
We're investigating a murder
that occurred at your husband's

May we please come in?

Ma'am, do you mind speaking

Mr. Wellick, as you can imagine
this is very time sensitive.
We just need to ask you
a few questions.
Actually, both of you,
since you were both
in attendance at
the reception last night.
Yeah, I can assure you, we have
no information whatsoever.
It will only take a moment.
And you both did know
the deceased, Sharon Knowles.
You did know her, yes?
Sharon Knowles?
That's terrible.
Um...
Yes, yes, we did know her.
Please, come in.
Have a seat.

One of my employees
confessed to
breaking chain of custody
with the Colby dat file.
Unfortunately,
this admission
will render the evidence
inadmissible
and Colby free of charges.
Now before you say
anything,
I want to assure you that
Allsafe has doubled its efforts
to find the hackers,
whether it be reconfirming
Colby's involvement
or finding the real
perpetrators.
We've air-gapped
your private network,
implemented a honeypot,
reconfigured all the firewalls
and systematically--
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait.
A honeypot, for what?
A specific server involved
in the last fsociety attack,
CS30.
I know we checked it out,
but if there's even a chance
the hackers are still
in the network,
the honeypot will ensure that
they can't cause any damage.
They'll log into the decoy
server we've set up,
thinking they're on
the main network.
And I'm personally
keeping tabs on all traffic.
So you have
our full attention.
[cell phone vibrates]
Well, I appreciate
your transparency.
Well, so you
understand then.
Of course.
In fact, I'd like

Of course, of course.

Yes.
Finally, you have
communicated something.
So are you ready

It was you

What you've lacked
was focus.
You strayed from the hack

This opened
a vulnerability.
Suspicion.

Gideon Goddard.
That's why
you hacked Allsafe.
To monitor his activities.
And that's when
we discovered

server into a honeypot.

You hack people,
I hack time.

there's a reason.
You have 50 hours

At that point,
when all parties are ready,
we will initiate
the hack.
We'll do it.
Maybe next time--
Understand something,

After I leave,
you will never
see me again.
There are very few people
