Mr. Robot (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - eps2.0_unm4sk-pt1.tc - full transcript

What is it about society
that disappoints you so much?

Sometimes I dream
of saving the world.

Saving everyone from
the invisible hand.

The one that controlls us every
day without us knowing it.

What if this all went away?

The city. The money,
All of it.

Hey, kiddo.

Exciting time in
the world right now,

Exciting time,

Tell me about your father.

He had leukemia. Made
me swear to never tell anyone-



Finally, I got so worried,
I told my mom.

I tried to hug him,
tell him I'm sorry,

shoved me so hard, I fell
backwards out the window.

I was eight years old.

If you don't take this deal,
you'll become like me.

Losing everyone's respect...

I gave up everything
for this case.

I don't want you to.

I'm networking there.
They killed my mother,

If you want to change things,

perhaps you should
try from within.

That would erase.”

All the debt we owe them,

Every record of every credit card, loan,
and mortgage would be wiped clean-



What do we all do now?

Guys! This isn't about
what we'll do tomorrow,

This is about what we did.

They're free because of us.

Jesus.
What did I do?

I told you we shouldn't
have done this.

I'm a little
concerned for Tyrell.

Because he was acting
very strange last I saw him,

I know you're behind it.

Fsociety. The server.
Colby. Allsafe,

You're the one constant
in a sea of variables.

No matter what anyone
tries to do, I will never leave you.

I will always be right here.
Do you understand that?

They're gonna try and
get rid of me again,

and I need you to not let them,

Listen to me. I will never leave you.

I will never
leave you alone again.

I am Mr. Robot.

I've always told you we'd end
up working together, Elliot.

But Still,

I have to know.

Why did you do it?

I wanted to save the world,

Why this mask?

It's a bit silly, isn't it?

Wellick.

I see-

I understand.

James. Yes,

Yes, I'm aware of
Mr. Goddard's request,

but it needs to be
removed this moment,

Can you escalate it?

Thank you, James.

It should be ready,

What is it?

It's happening.

It's almost as if..

Somethings come alive.

- Oh, my God.
- This is your fault!

- It's your fault!
- I'm sorry!

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!

What did you do,
you son of a bitch?

- He's bleeding!
- It was an accident,

God says there are no accidents!

Son, son, please talk to me.

- Talk to me, please.
- God help us, he's bleeding-

Oh, my God.

Son, son, wake up.
Wake up!

God, is he okay?
Ask if he's okay!

Can't you see
he's not responding, Magda?

- It was your fault,
- It was an accident.

God says there are no accidents.

Please call an ambulance!

Call an ambulance!

As you can see by the images,

everything appears to be normal,

which is good news

because there were no lesions
from the scan,

no hemorrhaging or bleeding,

mild concussion, a few stitches.

The forearm, however, is broken,
so that will require a cast-

And how much will that be?

Excuse me?

How much
will the co-pay be?

Well, that's something you need
to discuss with the billing department-

- We'll talk about that later...
- Shut up.

You've lost your job,
We have no money,

How are we supposed
to pay for this

on top of all your other bills?

Don't touch me.

I told you,
there won't be any bills.

Mr. and Mrs. Alderson,
please,

I'm going to have to ask you
to step outside for a second,

I'd like to talk
to Elliot alone.

Elliot.

Elliot, I want you to know that
you are going to be just fine.

Now, that was quite
a spill you took today,

but I promise, you have a long
and healthy life ahead of you-

Now, Elliot, there are just a few
questions that I need to ask you

and anything you tell me
will be between us...

Time to get up,

Today started
just like yesterday

and the day before that
and the day before that

and every day
for the last month,

a loop, my perfecfly
constructed loop.

This is going to be
affecting our economy

in ways that are
extraordinarily significant.

The FBI announced today,
and we can confirm,

that Tyrell Wellick and
fsociety engaged in this attack.

They caused a lot of damage.
And we will respond.

We will respond proportionally,

and we will respond in a place
and time that we choose.

That's not something that I will
announce at a press conference.

At 8:00 a.m.
my daily program begins

by having breakfast
with my friend, Leon.

There's this one episode where they
go to this Chinese restaurant,

and they're just waiting for
a table the entire time.

Like, they don't even
eat at the end, bro.

He just discovered Seinfeld.

Maybe I'm
overthinking it, though,

And talks way too much about it.

It's really fucking with him.

It's really fucking with me.

But it's perfect for me.

I don't have to say anything.
I can just listen.

God, man, that Kramer dude,

if I knew him in real life,
I'd knock his ass out.

At 10:00 a.m.
I help out around the house.

More broadly, though,
this points to the need

for us to work with
the international community

to start setting up some very
clear rules of the road.

Right now it's
sort of the Wild West.

At 12:00 p.m.
I have lunch with Leon.

And then there's this one where

they're stuck in
a garage the whole time,

Like, what?

That's not a TV show, bro.

Where's the story?

It just makes no sense-.

At 2:00 p.m. we'll
Check out a basketball game.

Hot Carla, the local pyro,
is usually there,

She's become like
my personal totem.

- Oh! Oh!
- Three points, bitch.

I still don't understand
why people Like sports.

They get so emotional
over the weirdest things.

But I do see
the beauty in the rules,

the invisible code of chaos

hiding behind
the menacing face of order.

At 4:30 p.m. I clean up
around the house again.

There hasn't been
anything like this in the past.

That's part of what makes this
issue of cybersecuriry so urgent.

At 6:00 p.m.
I have dinner with Leon.

Though maybe I just
need to make peace with it,

you know what I'm saying?

As you can tell,
we eat most meals together.

Like, maybe that's
the show's point,

that shit is just pointless,
you know?

Like, life, love,
and the meanings therein,

I'll tell you,
the human condition

is a straight-up tragedy, cuz,
Word,

Like I said,
I never have to talk,

and the repetition
is good for me now.

It keeps my regimen intact.

Overwhelm me,

Two days a week
I go to a church group.

I don't get
the rules here either,

but I need to keep
socializing myself.

It's good for me.

Besides.
These people seem normal.

Amen.
Amen.

Do not get into a pattern

in which you are intimidated

by these kind of
criminal attacks.

America knows
how to solve problems,

and when we work together,
we can't be stopped,

A new future is
ready to be written.

I've been keeping a journal.

It's the only way to keep my program
running like it's supposed to.

See you in the morning.

And then I go to bed.

My mom has no computer or Internet
access to tempt me into the night.

AH that's left for me is just
ordinary analog sleep

ending the day's loop.

You might not think it's a
way to live, but why not?

Repeating
the same tasks each day

without ever having
to think about them,

isn't that what everybody does?

Keep things on repeat

to go along with
their NCISes and Lexapro,

Isn't that where
it's comfortable?

In the sameness?

Why your mom?

Why her specifically?

She's the strictest
person I know.

But you've attributed a lot
of your childhood trauma.

Better the devil you know than
the devil you don't, right?

Do you feel alone?

Darlene comes by sometimes.

Is there anything you miss
about your old life?

It doesn't matter even if I did.

Why would you say that?

'Cause I can't
trust myself back there.

Why do you think you
can't trust yourself?

I'd like you to respond
to my question, please,

Elliot.

It took a lot for me to talk
to you after what you did,

but I agreed with the condition

that you were going
to be more open with me.

I was very clear
when we discussed.”

It's not that I
don't trust myself,

I don't trust him,

Hello again.

Yes, I'm talking
to you this time.

I'm sure you wanted to hear
what I told Krista back there,

but I'm not ready to trust you
yet, not after what you did.

You kept things from me,
and I don't know

if I can tell you
secrets like before.

Friends are supposed
to be honest with each other,

and you weren't.

It's gonna take a while
to rebuild this relation...

Talking to your friend again?

I thought we were
done with all that.

Here,

Check that out,

Lots of nicer
friends in there for you,

We can't stay here.

There's more work to be done.

Our revolution needs a leader,

and what are we doing instead?

Journaling,

Che Guevara is throwing up
in his grave right now.

You think this is
gonna get rid of me?

I am not to be gotten rid of.

This zombie act you're pulling?
It don't work on us.

This control you think you have?

It's an illusion.

You want my attention?

Tell me what I want to know.

Tell me where Tyrell is,

I can't do that.

Then go...

Are you done?

What's next on this roller coaster
of a regimen, needlepointing?

It is not hyperbole to say
we're in a grave financial situation.

All of this cautionary
sentiment out there,

it's not just
Wall Street hoopla.

The more I talk about it,
the more terrified I become.

Fortunately, the original plans
put in ptace were ineffective.

Bitcoin for sale,
Buy while it's low.

Most experts agree
that this is not just a crisis,

but a very dire one.

Something absolutely needs to be
done

Even though the European Union has been
denying that it could affect them,

this week we saw
that they were wrong.

The banks cannot lend money
that they don't have.

So the economy is
at a standstill.

And I'm just the messenger.

I am telling you, folks, this is
what they don't want you to hear,

because a union strike
on the Comet natural gas plant

will cause an energy shortage

the likes of which has never
been seen in the northeast.

Without literal power,
we will have no power.

This is pan' of a strategy to declare
economic war on this country,

and they know it, they know
exactly what they are doing,

and 2015 will be
known as the year

that America, this great nation,

swapped democracy
for dictatorship,

On television blabbing on and
on and on, telling people---

Lying to them.

Instead, bring on the story.

Somebody who can
explain the past

because this "crisis"
has happened before.

Hello?

Why don't you tell your
viewers about the Weimar Republic?

Because the similarities, the parallels
between them are disturbing.

Meaning the end
of the world as we know it.

Tyranny in the streets.

Hello?

Hello?

That's right.

Stop!

Well, what am I supposed to do?

I mean, nothing is working,

Unplug what?

Everything is inside the walls.

That's how it was installed when I
ordered the smart house package.

Now the alarm is going off,
and it's freezing.

It's below 40,

I have a place in Greenwich,
but you don't expect me to..

How long is it gonna lake
before this all gets fixed?

The tracking on
her phone is working,

and she's headed north
as we speak.

How long you think
she's gonna stay away for?

Long enough.

The collective result of these attacks
could be a cyber Pearl Harbor,

physical destruction
and the loss of life,

and create a new, profound
sense of vulnerability.

As director of the CIA
and Secretary of Defense..

I hope you don't mind I came.

Something wrong?

It's good to see you, Gideon,

You, too.

I know we didn't leave things
on the best of terms.

Is it true?
What I heard about Allsafe?

There is no Allsafe,

I've had to furlough everyone.

I'm hoping to get
up and running again,

but everyone's
telling me it's over,

Gee, I wonder
whose fault that is.

Was that you or me?

I'm getting all mixed up,
I can't recall,

Let me get to my point.

The FBI believes that
I was behind the hack

or complicit in some way,

I've given them all
the evidence I can,

I've cooperated with them
every step of the way,

but they still
keep coming at me.

They don't trust me.

In fact, I think they might be
hacking my email. I know someone is.

And now you're wondering

who that someone is, aren't you?

There are logins from times and
machines I don't recognize.

Because if it was me,
then that means it was you,

How about it, huh?

Could you live with yourself
knowing that you framed Gideon?

I keep changing the password,
but it still...

Elliot?

What's wrong?
Go ahead, tell him.

Tell him that you're slowly
descending into madness,

Stop.
What? Stop what?

There are only so many times

before my bullets finally penetrate
that thick skull of yours,

and as the blood trickles out,
so goes any sense of reason,

Round and round we go, you not
knowing what you did or didn't do,

our infinite loop of insanity,

If you know anything at all,

or if there's anything
you can do to help me..

I need you to.

I can'! help you-

Are you really gonna let him
take the fall for this?

Look at him,
a scared, small animal.

Well, that's..
That's unacceptable.

Now he's doing what all small
animals do when they're scared,

pretend they're
bigger and scarier,

Look, if you're not gonna
do anything about this,

I'm afraid you've
left me no choice

but to go to them
with what I know,

which, given the things I know
about the day you left,

it's pretty damning,

Now,
I'm asking you one last time

to do the right thing,

He does have a point.

He does know a lot,
perhaps too much,

I wonder if I sliced
open his neck right now,

would it be me doing it,
or would it be you?

No, Yes.

I am going to go to them,

I'm going to tell
them everything,

Do you understand, Elliot?
Everything.

Truth is, Elliot,
it doesn't matter.

You start adding up all the
choices you've been making,

they all add up to one thing,

You add up to one thing...

Me,

What's going on over there?

I'm not gonna lie,
Gideon got to me,

but now is when I need
the regimen the most.

After all, that's the whole
reason for the routine,

to stay as sane as possible
until he's gone,

and once he's gone,

I can finally be
the real me again.

You know,
not just that it's pointless,

but maybe it just
means nothing, you know?

Like Costanza says,
"A cold, random universe."

Bro, what's up with the...

Nothing, man,

Gideon's gonna rat you out.

He probably already has,

Hey, you can't ignore this,

They have eyes on you,

This is how they work you,

I'm not gonna change my mind.

Sticking to my regimen.

Hey, lam not some tumor to be
excised, do you understand?

The opposite.

I'm the organ vital
to your existence.

Now, if you insist
on keeping this up,

I'm gonna go from
annoyed to hurt,

and, kiddo, trust me, you do
not want to hurt my feelings.

How do I take off a mask
when it stops being a mask,

when it's as much
a part of me as I am?

We keep fighting.

Like the world we unmasked, we
will find our true selves again.

Maybe after wiping
away the thick, grimy film

of Facebook friend requests
and Vine stars

we can all see the light of day.

I know we haven 't
talked in a while,

Maybe you only trust me about as
much as I trust you right now,

but I'm gonna ask you
to have hope for me anyway.

Just, please, have hope.

I'm gonna take a selfie,
I'm gonna take a selfie,

You guys ready?
Oh. yeah!

We got the balls!

We got the balls!

Give me your phone.

Why? I didn't post any...

Give me your phone.

We are in a war, and we are
on the losing side of it-

We are on our knees
with guns to our heads,

and they are
picking us off one by one.

Susan Jacobs,
the general counsel at E Corp.

You want to know what her
nickname is inside the company?

Madam Executioner,

not just because she could kill

any lawsuit filed against them,

but because those lawsuits
usually involved deaths.

These are the cowards
we are dealing with.

We have been on our knees
for too long,

and it's time to stand up,

Make it
a four-hour SDR if necessary,

Take surveillance
detection stops,

Go into pharmacies.

Run errands.
Disrupt data points.

No one takes the same
route back here twice.

I don't want anyone
burning this location.

Where is everyone else?

Don't know,

They were always half in,

What you're doing here, Darlene,
and what you're saying?

I mean, you sounded like George
W.Bush, for crying out loud.

Okay, first of all, that's low.

Secondly, give me some credit.

The speech is bullshit,
but it works.

It riles them up-

Yeah, to what end though?

You know, sawing off balls,
making protest signs?

We were more than that.

I mean, you know,
we accomplished something,

We took them down.

Then why does it feel
like they're still winning?

That what we did made
it worse, not better?

You know I'm right,

We didn't finish them off,

That's all there is to it.

People everywhere came out
to support us, Mobley,

and right now they need to
know we haven't given up,

that we meant what we said
about changing the world.

Don't be half in
like the others.

This thing we started,
it deserves more than that.

Have you, uh, seen Elliot?

That's not important,

This is everything right now,

Absolutely unfair,
madam, absolutely unfair.

We were done with our payments.

Ma'am,
we are doing our best here,

At this moment we cannot verify

that you've paid
all your payments.

Absolutely ridiculous. I have.

I have all my bills right here.
I was never late on one,

and I also have copies
of the checks that I sent...

People have been
forging paper records.

We haven't set up a system to
verify these sorts of claims.

It took me three weeks to get
this appointment, madam.

Now you're telling me
you can't help me?

What kind of business is this?

I've been responsible for the last
20 years in paying off my home-

Where's your accountability?

Yet, if the tables were turned,

you would have kicked me
out of my own house.

You know what?
Cancel my account,

I'm done doing business
with you crooks.

You deserve what you're getting.

Ma'am, I can't say for sure
we can give you all your money

if you close right now,

Unbelievable.

I know what I have.
I just want to cancel-

It's on my computer, too-I have
the IT guy helping me rig ht now.

Sorry I'm late. I was coming
from my place in Greenwich.

I was on the phone
with the FBI all night-.

We can't confirm the sender,

but the email we
received is authentic,

more than likely the same
hackers from the ransomware.

Unbelievable,

What are their demands again?

$53 million.

$5.9 million to
be delivered to

Battery Park City,
9:00 p.m. tonight,

no police,

If we want to pay the ransom,
the FBI will not sanction it.

We cannot negotiate
with these people.

Our techs are looking into it.

We'll find a way to decrypt it
and get the system...

How long?

Five days, tops,

Five days for our banking
system to be down?

That's a lot of
money down the drain.

I don't even want to
mention the optics.

We can't afford
this hack right now,

and frankly, I think we can find $5-9
million in between our couch cushions.

It's nothing,

My opinion as general
counsel is to pay it.

What's this other
request they've made?

"You mus! send
one of your chiefs

"and no one else?"

I think they meant one
of our chief officers.

This is a joke,

Did they really expect one
of us to go out there?

Hmm? What are we
talking about here?

These people are terrorists,
pure and simple.

Unfortunately, I have to
agree with Scott on this.

It's risky,

We have no idea what these
guys are capable of.

So you think we
should pay the ransom,

but you don't want
any of us to do it?

We can get one of our security
officers to go undercover,

Yes, and risk all of this
blowing up in our faces-.

No.

If we're going to
even consider doing this,

we shouldn't give them
any reason to do more damage.

I'll do it,

I'm Chief Technology Officer.

I qualify,

I'll do it,

If we're gonna
pay these bastards,

I want to be
the one that faces them-

For more variety from
the '80s through today.

Anything?

Nothing yet.

Who is that? Who is that,
that guy on the bike?

He looks like he's coming
straight toward me.

Okay, he's closing in.
We're coming.

No, wait. It's too risky.
We need to fly in.

Wait,

Are you...
From E Corp?

Who are you?

Just making a delivery.

Please sign here,

What is this?

Someone grab the biker.
Grab the biker

No, no, no, they haven't
picked up the money yet.

Mr. Knowles,
we don't recommend that.

We should have our
unit search it first.

Sir, are you all right?

Should we come in? Are you all right?

Is that your phone?

You have 10
seconds to do what it says,

or every Bank of E system
will be bricked.

Sir, who was the caller?

Mr. Knowles,
what are you doing?

There's no way,

We've already
committed $900 billion.

It would be irresponsible
if the feds sent more.

And we're not going to ask the
government to pony up the cash.

How do you burn through that
kind of money in 30 days anyway?

You have something right there.

Finally, you're seeing my point.

No, no, on your face-.

The point is, Phillip,

we've already given you
our burst of cash on hand.

We can't give you any more,

Well, we'll sell
the T-bills to the Chinese,

and that money in return will be
used as a loan for our company.

Look, the real recovery program
is months from being done-

The public is hoarding cash.

The housing market
is grinding to a halt.

The big three are on
the verge of collapse,

Everyone at the commission
needs to see results

within the next three weeks

before we can do anything else,

Look, rebuilding our database is
the only solution to this problem.

This is not my opinion,

These are the facts,
ladies and gentlemen,

Now, I've cooperated
with you on every level,

I even have the goddamn FBI
working out of my offices.

Janet, Mary, Jack, please,

Tell me you didn't ask me
to fly down all the way to DC

just so you could, what,
hear yourselves complain?

You've got to resign,

We have no other options,

The President can't go to Congress
with a bailout rig ht now-

In the fallout of
the Great Depression,

FDR closed all the banks
for a bank holiday,

and then he reopened
them in stages

when they were
reported to being sound,

Later, historians discovered
what we in this room now know,

that those reports,
they were mostly lies.

Nevertheless, it worked.

It worked because
the public believed

the government had
everything under control,

You see,

that is the business model
for this great nation of ours,

Every business day
when that market bell rings,

we con people into
believing in something,

the American dream,
family values.

Could be freedom fries
for all I care.

It doesn't matter as
long as the con works

and people buy and sell
whatever it is we want them to.

If I resign,

then any scrap of confidence the
public is already clinging onto

will be destroyed,

and we all know

a con doesn't work
without the confidence,

If this was the best idea you
could come up with for a win,

I shouldn't be
the one resigning.

I have to head back to New York,

Let me know when
you've locked up the votes,

and wipe your goddamn mouth,

(DOOR CLOSES}

Well?

You moved.

And?

Now I'm gonna punish you,

You know, usual, coffee, black,

turkey sandwich on whole wheat,

lettuce, mayo, muenster cheese,

Already working on it.

You always take
good care of me, Ahmed,

How's the wife doing?

She's good,
she's good, thank you,

Oh, I haven't seen her in a while.
Where is she these days?

Our daughter is sick.
Oh, that right?

That's too bad,

Now, which one is she again?
Sally.

The young one, right?

Yeah.

Such a pretty name.

Now, is that traditionally
an Iranian name, or.-.

Come on, lady,
I'm in a rush here.

Jesus H, all right,

God, calm down.

Well, I guess
I should pay up, Ahmed,

before I get lynched over here,

Am I right?

Um.

And this?

DiPierro, he's waiting for us.

Yup

When you look closeliy at
the seams between order and chaos,

do you see
the same things I see?

The strain, the tears,

the glimpses of truth
hidden underneath.

Why do they fight so desperately
to mask what they are?

Or is it that they become who they
are when they put on the mask?

Sometimes I wonder what you
hide behind, my silent friend.

What mask do you wear?

Or are you just as afraid
as the rest of them?

Me?

Am I afraid?

Nah, man.

I'm different.

Hey, dipshit,

can't you see we need the ball?

This ball?

Yeah, that ball.

What, you slow or something?
What's up?

Nah, I ain't slow, bro.

Go get your own ball.

Yo, man.
What?

What's your problem, son?

- What's your problem?
- You my problem.

You need to learn
how to speak to people.

- You need to have respect, son,
- I got it

Hey, I got it.

It's all good,

We're all just here
to have a good time, right?

Yes, Sir.

Come here, girl.

There you go-

Maxine's been acting
a little off lately.

She really perked up
when she saw you.

You a dog person?

Used to have one.

Oh, yeah?
What happened to it?

Don't have her anymore-

Elliot, right?

I'm Ray.

I've seen you here before.

You must like the games, huh?

They put Bradstreet in.
He's good on the boards,

Come on, boys.

Look at these guys.
What do you see?

A lot of care and effort over what
amounts to a pretty shitty game.

What's Maxine see?

A bunch of dumb animals,

can't think past anything
but getting a ball in a hoop.

What do they want you to see?

Badass homies..

Ready to kill
if you step to 'em,

Question is...

Which is the truth?

Maybe all of 'em.
Maybe none of 'em,

Maybe truth don't even exist,

Maybe what we think is
all we got,

which is why I'm a little
jealous of Maxine over here,

'cause all she gives a shit
about is eating and sleeping-

Ain't that right, girl?

Not the loquacious type,
I get it.

Me, I talk all the time,

but I guess you
picked up on that.

It's cool though. Communication
is good for my line of work.

Takes a lot of it
to run a good business.

But unlike you, when it
comes to computers, well,

I get them about as much as
Maxine here gets E. E. Cummings,

so when I heard..

Whatever you heard, it's not
true- I don't do that anymore-

Tell him you'll help.
Try it once, huh?

Let that old feeling come back,

You know,
this morning over breakfast

my wife told me
I'd make a friend today,

Not many people to talk to around
here except for these knuckleheads-

It's cool if we
continue talking?

No, thanks.

Damn, man.

That's some cold,
brutal shit right there.

I'ma have to go listen
to some Adele on repeat

when I get back home.

Okay, I can take a hint.

Come on, babe.

How long you gonna keep us
in this analog nightmare?

As long as it takes.

Without my weapon of choice,
Mr.Robot is unplugged, powerless.

He'll try to wear us down,

but as long as we stick to the
regimen, he can't take control

no matter how much of an
illusion he thinks this is-

I mean, it's a disgrace,

an absolute disgrace police
have not found this guy.

Not only does ah' the evidence behind
the Five/Nine attacks read to him,

but he is the leading suspect
behind the Sharon Knowles murder.

I've said it before.
I'll say it again,

The misogynistic blind eye
bylaw enforcement in this.

My problem, Stassi.

I hit her for a reason.

She...
my ex-boyfriend.

Hey, Vanderpump's on,
You want to watch?

Another time.
You know what?

I'll walk away and
let this be about you.

How was I that time?
Did I do okay?

I didn't hurt
you too bad, right?

You're spoiling it again.

At least I
didn't break a couple up.

Do you want to go
have a drink at the bar?

You know,
I know the guy who works here

makes awesome mescal cocktails,

We used to bartend together
back at this place..

We're not to be seen together,
remember?

That was our agreement.

That's him, isn't it?

Freaks me out.
Can't he wait downstairs?

He's doing his job,

She's still in the tub,

You said 2:00. It's 2:15.

Hand me a towel?

Go. We can't leave together.

So unfair. She came
out of nowhere a month ago.

Sometimes I see her
talking to herself.

Oh, my gosh, you did, too?

So weird,

Yeah, Melissa hates her, too.

Shit, I got to take this.
I'll call you back.

I'm telling you,
it's non-negotiable,

No one's going to let
you take that question off the table.

The money burning is a big part

of why everyone
wants the exclusive.

Bloomberg, line two for you,

Except for CNN,
which you guys don't want.

I got to call you back,
Hi, Foster.

I thought the deadline was noon.

It's noon now,

It's five past, Angela, and...

Ryder's agreeing
to the questions.

He's also giving us top
of the hour and Kelly-.

Price doesn't even like Kelly.

I'll budge on the time liot, but I
can't on the question. It's fair game.

Talk to the segment producer
and call me back,

Angela,
I already know the answer.

You were supposed to make this
happen five minutes ago-

Just call me back,

Call Markinson,

We don't want CNBC,
or Fox News, for that matter.

I think you should let Melissa handle this.

- Done deal?
- Not gonna happen.

Scott Knowles burning $5.9 million
is on the table or not at all.

We're going with CNBC.

They're sending
a deal memo as we speak,

You know I would rather go with
you-You got to twist their arm-

Bullshit.

Did you just hang up
on Bloomberg?

Are you trying to get fired?

Leave.

Excuse me?

Leave.

When Melissa finds out...
Get her,

Go ahead and get her.
Tell her whatever you want,

but right now get out
of my fucking cubicle,

Fine, we'll take it off,

but we're talking about the
bailout and Plouffe's suicide.

I can't do Plouffe-.

Then we're walking for real.

Segment producer is pissed
that this is what...

The guy committed
suicide on national TV,

It's out of
respect for his family.

Trust me, I'm doing you a favor,

You don't want
to ask about that.

Please, it's been a month.

One question,
and I have to approve it.

Hi, Melissa.

Bloomberg TV agreed to all
the points on the exclusive.

Foster's sending you
the deal memo.

I need to get coffee
before the staff meeting,

Sorry I'm late.

Coming up to the city
was just a nightmare.

The tunnel was
at a snail's pace.

E-ZPass is down again.

They're saying
indefinitely this time,

but I cannot take
the train in this heat,

It must have been
in the 90s today.

Okay, sorry.

So?

I've decided to stay.

We agreed to discuss this,

We have for several weeks now,

Need I remind you
I was against you

taking Colby's job offer
in the first place?

And then even
when you convinced me

that we should wait to see
where it would lead,

we agreed it was only gonna be
for a brief trial basis.

I think we were both clearly
wrong about their motives.

Oh, I think you are being naive,

And I don't think that we need
to have these talks anymore.

I like my job,
and I'm not quitting.

That's my decision,

You never had any
intention of leaving, did you?

I know you think
they're pulling something,

but that's because
you can't imagine anyone

ever valuing me as a real asset,

when the truth is,

I've done more for
you and the lawsuit

than you've ever done
for me or yourself.

I have value,

and even though you
don't see it, they do.

They are barbarians
in $10,000 suits,

but I see your resolve,

I know when to cut my losses.

A guy walks up to
a woman at a bar,

He flirts with her.
He makes small talk,

but the woman insists she
isn't gonna go home with him.

Guy says, "What if I offer you a
million dollars to sleep with me?"

The woman's never had
a million dollars in her life,

She stops and considers
the offer very seriously.

The guy changes his mind, says,

"What if I change my offer
to a dollar instead?"

Woman is aghast.

"What kind of woman
do you think I am?"

Guy says, "We already figured that out.
Now we're just negotiating."

Are you alone?

Welcome to Positive
Affirmations volume three,

Success and Money.

You'll hear the affirmations
repeated twice.

I will leave a space for you to
either repeal mentally or our loud.

Please use this on a consistent
basis to form new neural pathways.

Good luck.

I am confident.

I am confident.

I am confident.

My confidence is powerful

My confidence is powerful

My confidence is powerful.

I recognize myself
as exceptional.

I recognize myself
as exceptional.

I recognize myself
as exceptional.

I will follow my dreams
no matter what.

I will follow my dreams
no matter what.

Come on, sit down.

Maxine wanted to come over and say hi.
She missed you.

I think the damn dog might
actually like you more than me.

See that smile?

Even though we're technically not
friends, I told my wife we were,

was too embarrassed
to say otherwise.

You know,
you two would get along.

She likes to ignore me, too.

Hey, man, I don't
mean to be an asshole,

but like I said before,
I'm all good.

Sorry, I actually don't know
why I'm laughing.

I thought you made
some joke I don't get,

so I usually just
fake laugh at those,

but, really, I'm confused.

I thought we were
on the same page.

About what?

When we spoke last night.

I don't know what
you're talking about, man,

I didn't see you last night.

You really don't remember,

You feeling okay, chief?

That's what the control,
the regimen, the journal,

my perfectly constructed loop,

what this whole
thing's been about.

Last night till this morning,
while I was sleeping,

I can't account for it,

a gap in my consciousness,
and somehow he...

What do they see
when they see you coming?

And this is why I'm different.

Sometimes my mask takes over.

Why did you talk to him?

Because I'm gonna
make you realize.

What?

What will you make me realize?

That they see me.

What's so funny?

We started a movement.
We were meant to lead it.

Now, get back on a terminal now,

Give me what I want
or keep shooting me.

Tell me where Tyrell is,
or shoot me again

'cause the only one
it's gonna drive mad is you...

Not me.

I'm late for my church group,

Peace,

this time targeting
the Bank of E network

in an elaborate
ransomware attack.

The malicious malware targeted
the bank's computer servers

and spread to multiple
branches in North America,

encrypting the data and
rendering the systems unusable

unless a ransom was paid.

This more militant variant
of the hacker collective

forced Scott Knowles,
the CTO of E Corp,

to burn $5.9 million
in public view.

Shortly thereafter pictures
surfaced on social media

under the name
#OPdailyallowance.

Now, this is considered a direct
response to E Corps unpopular program,

which would lower
their daily cash

withdrawal allowances
for customers to $50.

Some stunt, huh?

Everybody's laughing
it off as a dumb prank,

but these guys know
what they're doing.

Never thought that hard cash would
be this valuable right now-

We're reliving Black Tuesday,
the Great Depression.

Warning lights were flashing,

I mean, in the last two years

the Army Corps of Engineers,

the Energy Department,
the State Department,

and the Office
of Personnel Management

were all hacked,

The government claimed
they were boosting security,

but what came of it?

The same as 1929.

Shit hit the fan,

An act like this changes
people, changes society-

I'm just having a drink,

I'm sorry,

and I'm rambling like a fanatic.

Is there something else
you want to talk about?

The beaches of Barbados,

espresso on Rue Montmartre,

sitting around a campfire
in the Adirondacks?

I'm married,

I'm Brock.

And I know
you're Gideon Goddard,

I watch way too much news-

God,

I can't believe I'm
a tabloid sensation.

More of a diehard fan,

I got a smile.
I'm on a roll.

When did he leave you?

What,
was that on the news, too?

No, just your face,

It's obvious why they
use you as their patsy.

You give off a very
sympathetic, honest vibe,

You're the perfect
vessel for their lies.

Yeah, well, I don't know what
to say to that, but, um-

I'll agree with you that
it sure as hell feels like

there's something
bigger than me in control,

Thank you,

For what?

Tomorrow I'm gonna be a hero,

I'm sorry?

You may just be a patsy,
but you're an important one.

In fact,
I don't think I've ever met

a bigger crisis actor
than you before.

This is for our country,

"And there shall
be no more death,

"neither sorrow nor crying,

"neither shall
there be any more pain,

"for the former things
are passed away,

"and he that sat
upon the throne said,

"'Behold,
I make all things new, '

"and he said unto me,

“Write, for these words
are true and faithful, '

"and he said unto me,
'It is done.

"'I am Alpha and Omega,

“the beginning and the end.

"'I will give unto
him that is athirst

"of the fountain of
the water of life freely.

"'He that overcometh shall inherit
all things, and I will be his God,

“and he shall be my son"

Hello?

Is it really you?

Who is this?

Bonsoir Elliot.
