Elliot becomes encouraged trying to undo five/nine; Darlene gets stuck between a rock and a hard place; Mr. Robot sparks a panic.

Elliot, what is Stage 2?

They're trying to blow up
Evil Corp's recovery building.

- Just tell me what to do.
- The E Corp party.
When you saw Scott, he was disheveled.
- Yeah, but Joanna...
- Tell the cops your story.
Scott Knowles intimidated
you. This is how we punish him.
That ever-looming presence
that is Mr. Robot, I don't feel it.
Is it possible that the
bullet killed him...

I need to find a way to fix what I did.
I need a job at Evil Corp.

Hello. I'm Linda,

Evil Corp is, well, evil.
That much I thought, but
what I didn't realize was
maybe they're a necessary evil

In fact, maybe calling them evil
was just my dorm room

Let's talk about your crucial

I'm gonna undo the hack.
Now, I can't decrypt
the data I fucked up,
that much is true.
But since I'm working
on the recovery team,
I can help them rebuild the database
and defend the fort at the same time.
There's a little talent
roaming around on this floor,
but the primo poon is on floor 31.
As of last week, it looks
like Tyrell was right.
Evil Corp has delivered
their paper records
from 17 of their 71 buildings
to their New York facility.
Pretty sure she would cheat

But all right. Unpack her, boys!
I'm sending shipping requests

I have to get through,
I'll need to keep up the illusion that
shipments are still happening.
These are the same damn
boxes you brought last week.
You know me. I do what the paper says.
All right!
Pack it up, boys!
Problem with my illusion is,
what if Tyrell and the Dark Army
think all the records actually get there?
This is why I gotta keep
the UPS systems safe too,
because these innocuous
backup batteries
in the New York facility
can turn into idle bombs
with the right malware.
And these are the frontline soldiers
trusted to protect them.
You guys gonna stop me?
Uh, I'm a bloodhound, girl.
I just dove right back
in, dude, just... ah.
This patch ensures that the UPS devices
will only run trusted code
that's digitally signed by Evil Corp.
Bottom line: even if they think
all the paper records got here,
they won't be able to
blow up that building.

Truth bombs are coming
your way, Cody-ites.
Tonight, please welcome
our special guest,
Joanna Wellick. Thanks for being here.
Thank you for having me.
Scott Knowles has,
uh, been facing charges
for murdering his wife, Sharon Knowles.
Initially, your husband, Tyrell Wellick,
was accused of the murder,
until you claimed Scott Knowles
confessed to killing his
wife while beating you.
And since then, a bartender
from the night of the party
has also come forward to
corroborate your story.
I know that this must
be difficult for you.
You've been brave just coming here.
Do you want to tell us a
little more about what happened?
My lawyers have advised
me not to speak to that.
But what I can say, Frank, is that
I didn't need Scott Knowles
to be arrested to know
that my husband is innocent.
Mr. Knowles is...
clearly a troubled man
and has been fixating
on us for some time.
I understand that you and your son
have been tormented endlessly
by fanatics and paparazzi.
Some even went so far as to
claim you filed for divorce.
I did file for divorce...
a few months ago.
It was a moment of weakness.
I listened to the wrong people,
who were convincing me that
that was the right thing to do.
But I have and
always will be faithful
to Tyrell.
I have since dismissed
my petition for divorce.
He is...
the only man I've ever loved
and the only man
I ever will love.
