Mr. Robot (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 12 - Series Finale Part 1 - full transcript

What if I told you
we could make it

like none of this ever happened?

What would you be willing
to sacrifice for that?

You wanna know what I believe?

That this isn't the end.

That there's another world
out there for both of us.

And we'll see each other again.

You think Angela's dead,
but she's not.

Elliot, I can't wait
to marry you tomorrow.

You can reset everything

and live in the world
you deserve,



a world without your past...

Do you recall a time
your father ever hurt you?

Yes.

Without all the pain
you carry...

Just finishing up a call.

Be out in a jiff.
Without your regrets...

"From the Mixed‐Up Files
of Basil E. Frankweiler."

Your parents in town yet?

Hello, Emily? You there?

A 5.9‐magnitude tremor
struck Washington Township.

I've imagined
what it would be like

to be someone
with a more exciting life.

Will you believe with me?

Who are you?



Can you tell me
what happened to that house?

Can you tell me
what's your monster?

It's Mom. She's gone.

She was an asshole to us.

I need to go back
to Washington Township.

But soon you will see.

We will be reborn as new.

This place is gonna blow!

If we don't stop this,

the meltdown will destroy
the whole town.

Did it work?

Hello, friend.

Hello, friend.

Wait, you can hear me again?

Have you been there
this whole time?

I was so focused on the hack

that I guess I thought
you were gone.

But after what
just happened at the plant,

I thought for sure
I was gone too.

We're dead, right?

There's no way we survived.

But if we're dead...

then how am I talking to you?

And if you're here...

where's Mr. Robot?

What was that?

You felt that too, right?

It was like an earthquake.

Wait.

I'm not dead.

I'm alive.

Which means you are too, right?

Where are we?

Yeah,
I'm thinking the same thing.

This looks exactly like
where the power plant was,

except...

It's not.

I know what you're thinking,
but don't.

That's impossible.

Whiterose is out
of her fucking mind.

Yeah, yeah, I know. So am I.

But still, there's no way
her machine worked, right?

It can't be.

How?

It's been gone for 20 years,
ever since...

He died.

Just finishing up a call.

Be out in a jiff.

Tell me you heard that too.

Can this really be happening?

Is it...

is it really...

him?

I got a customer.
We still on for lunch?

Okay.

See ya soon.

No problem.
I'm always here for you.

My monster is still alive.

Sorry for the wait.

How can I help you?

Hmm.

Oh, there you are.

Hey.

Hey!

Hi, honey! How was your day?

Dad's home!

This is my old neighborhood.

That's my old house,
but who's in there?

Who's he talking to?

Yo, can I ask you a question?

Hey, Elliot.

You know who I am?

Duh, you live right there.

Where have you been?

I haven't seen you in a while.

You look different.

Okay, okay, I'll pick it up
when I get to the city.

Back before dinner!

Your nose is bleeding.

If she knows who I am,
maybe she knows.

I need your help.

I'm looking for Darlene.
Do you know where she is?

Who's Darlene?

My sister.

What's so funny?

You don't have a sister.

Elliot?

I wasn't expecting
to see you until tomorrow.

Hi, Mrs. Alderson.

Bye, Mrs. Alderson.

Well, why are you still standing

across the street there
looking at me?

Stop being funny
and come over here.

You just missed your father.

He went up to the city.

Let me look at you.

Have you lost weight?

You're too skinny.

Come on, let's scrounge
some lunch up for you.

I can't wait to show you
the new curtains.

I know, I know, you don't care,

but trust me on this,
you'll notice the difference.

This does look different.

Told you!

Only took me 30 years
to get around to it.

When I saw them,
I knew I had to have them.

Hmm.

Crazy how one small change can
make an entire place feel new.

Okay, so I can make you

one of my special
delicious sandwiches.

Do you want turkey or ham?

No Darlene.

Who's Darlene?

Anyway, I thought you had
a presentation today,

or was that yesterday?

How'd it go?

I'm not sure.

You've always been
your own harshest critic.

I'm sure you did great.

This doesn't sound like my mom.

This sounds like someone
who loves their son.

Everything's changed.

Even...

Me.

What was that, honey? You, what?

If their past has changed...

Has mine?

Does that mean...

The window.

What window?

Elliot?

What's gotten into you?

Where's my bedroom?

It was right here.

Are you all right?

My bedroom. Where is it?

Where it's always been.

No.

This can't be true.

What can't be true?

When I was eight years old,

do you remember me
having an accident?

What accident?

When I broke my arm.

Honey,
you've never broken your arm.

You've never broken a bone
in your entire life.

Elliot...

I'm worried about you.

Why don't we sit down?

If I didn't jump,

does that mean
there was no reason to?

Mom...

Just tell me.

Did you ever hurt me?

Did...

Dad?

Elliot...

your father and I

never, ever hurt you.

We love you...

more than anything.

Where's all this coming from?

Did something happen
between you and Angela?

Is this about her parents?

I don't mean to overstep,

but I know they've had
their ups and downs,

and if you two think
you're gonna end up like‐‐

Angela?

She's...

Alive?

It's totally normal
to be nervous

before your big day tomorrow.

My big day?

I know the stress
of a wedding can be

taxing for a couple...

Wedding?

I'm marrying Angela?

Mom?

Where is Angela right now?

Unless she decided
to become a runaway bride,

she must be back
in her apartment in the city.

What do you think?

Do you buy any of this?

We started out wanting
to change the world,

but did it happen?

Is this the world
I fought so hard for?

A world free of all the pain
I went through?

Am I actually considering
that this could be real?

No. I won't let myself.

Not yet.

Not until I see Angela.

Then I'll know.

If I see her, will this world
make more sense

or less?

I don't know,
but it's worth the risk.

Mr. Alderson.

Oh, scared, huh?

Well, you should be.

After all,
as far as you're concerned,

I am evil incarnate.

Phillip, stop giving him
such a hard time.

Oh, come on, Em,
he knows I'm only joshing him.

Besides, if I'm to be
his father‐in‐law,

he should be a little
frightened of me.

Sweetie, come on in.

Come on.

We came up a few days early
to help Angela out

with a few last‐minute
adjustments,

but when we got here, as usual,
she's done everything herself,

so we've got nothing to do.

Don't be fooled.

She's bitter about that,
so tread carefully.

She is amazing that way,
isn't she?

She always has been, I guess.

Oh, and wait until
you see her in her dress.

Okay.

Well, yes.

Anyway, to‐‐to what
do we owe the honor?

Was Angela expecting you?

No. I, uh...

Just wanted to see her.

Wow, you two really
can't go a minute

without missing each other.

So sweet.

I remember that feeling,
I think.

And that is usually my cue
to make everyone a drink.

Uh, that won't be necessary.

I'm just trying to find Angela.

Oh, well,
she's meeting us for lunch.

She is? Yes.

We're trying that cute place
on the corner.

You should come.

Phillip, I want Elliot
to come along.

Only after we've had one
of my whiskey sours, hmm?

Only one. I don't wanna be late.

You know, Elliot,

I am so happy to see the two
of you finally tie the knot.

Watching you grow up,

I always knew there was
something very special

between the two of you,

but, frankly, I was worried
she wouldn't see it.

Between us, she didn't always
have the best taste in men.

Yeah, I know.

But this is the start
of something new.

Are you excited?

Oh, shoot.

That was meant to be a surprise.

We borrowed all of these
from your mother.

Angela wanted
to give something to you,

something that embodied
your whole story together.

I think she did a wonderful job.

I just love...

These images,

I've seen them before.

I've pictured this fantasy
so many times.

This is what normal people do
when they're happy, right?

Get married, start a family,

surround themselves
with people they love,

with people that love them.

Trust me, Em, we got lucky.

He's good, this one.

True love prevails.

Ever since he retired,
he has become quite the softy.

You know, I know I'm not
supposed to say anything,

but when your father came by
and showed us that gift

that you got for her...

she's gonna love it.

Oh, don't worry.
It's just between us.

I am a vault,
and he cannot remember anything

past the last five minutes.

Bottoms up!

Mm!

We should get going.
I don't wanna be late.

Mmm, it's good.

Oh, well, this is weird.

Elliot, it says
that you're calling me.

No, don't‐‐don't‐‐
don't fall for it, Em.

He's‐‐he's just doing
a gag with the phone.

Am I right?

Oh, he's such a whiz
with these gadgets.

What's the trick, huh?

What happens if you pick up?

What?

What happens if you answer?

Uh, here. Let me do it.

N‐no. Let me‐‐let me do it.

Hello?

Emily?

You there?

Are you all right?

What happened, dear?

Look at what you did.
He's getting cold feet.

Well, how exactly am I
responsible for that?

Because of your
passive‐aggressive jokes.

Whoa!

Oh, my God!

Okay, nobody panic.

It's just a little accident.
I've got it.

Ouch!

Ow.

That voice, that was mine.

How can that be possible?

I saw myself in those pictures.

That was me, wasn't it?

Or no, was it him?

So are there two of me?

I didn't think
about that before,

but that's possible, isn't it?

Price, my dad, my mom...

Me.

But if this world isn't mine...

Then whose is it?

This guy is definitely not me.

And I am definitely not him.

I need to find out
exactly who he is.

Shit, the boot drive
is encrypted.

Maybe he's more like me
than I thought.

Based on this, he doesn't have
crippling social anxiety

or paranoia.

He looks like he's fun
at parties,

makes a good living,

has lots of friends.

Everything in his life
seems perfect.

But nobody is as perfect
as they seem.

Come on, come on, come on.

I know I'll find something.
He can't be this happy.

No one is.

Haven't you been
paying attention?

Everyone has a secret.

People are always
hiding something:

Their vulnerabilities,
their fears, their shame.

I don't care how happy he looks.

Everyone has a monster.

The question is, what's his?

And there it is,

a hidden partition,

a drive full of files
he doesn't want anyone to see.

These are images...

Of me...

My life.

How does he know about me?

Did he somehow hack...

my world?

Am I... his monster?

Who are you?

I know this is fucked up.

What are you doing
in my apartment?

And why do you look like me?

I think we should talk.

I'm calling the police.

I don't know who you are
or what you want.

No, we can't involve the cops.

Stay where you are!

You're making a mistake.

Let's just take a seat.

I promise you, I can explain.

My name is Elliot Alderson.

I was born in Washington
Township, New Jersey,

September 17, 1986.

Same as you.

You could've looked all that up.

Look at me, man.

You really think
I'm making this up?

Let's sit.

I'm good where I am.

Start talking.

Why do you have those
sketches on your computer?

What sketches?

The hidden partition.

How did you get in there?

Doesn't matter.

I need you to tell me
why you made those sketches.

Hey, you look exactly like...

Holy shit,
how is this happening?

That's what I'm trying
to figure out.

That's why we need to talk.

The files
on your hidden partition...

What are they?

Sometimes when I get bored,

I create people in my head...

Like him.

You know, someone
with a more exciting life.

Like a superhero,

except his power
would be computers.

He'd a cybersecurity
engineer by day,

vigilante hacker by night.

Is that what you are?

What about the girl
with the brown hair?

She's just sort of like
his partner in crime.

And fsociety?

That's just a dumb name
I came up with

for a hacker group.

You know...

fuck society?

I figured that's...

what an anarchist hacker

would come up with.

This is you, isn't it?

Why did you create this person?

I guess...

Sometimes I fantasize
about being him.

So you want to be him?

No, not really.

Look at him.

He's angry.

He has no life.

He's alone.

He's not normal.

Oh, shit, man.

I'm sorry.

He shouldn't be.

He's right.

I'm not normal,
and I never will be,

no matter what world I'm in.

What is that?

Did you hear that?

What?

It sounded like you were
talking to someone.

Shit, he can hear us.

There it is again.

How are you doing that?

This was a mistake.

I don't belong here.

I was stupid
to think that I did.

Wait.

Yo, man.

Are you okay?

Say something.

Shit.

Fuck.

I‐I'm gonna go get some help.

Hello?

Oh, my God, Elliot.

What have you done?

Angela. You are out of control.

The book. What?

How were you able to find it?

You're so amazing.

This is the best gift
anyone's ever given me.

Wait. H‐hold on a second.

Seriously, Elliot,

I'm so lucky to be marrying
someone like you.

Angela...

I'm not who you think I am.

Oh, you're not?

Then what'd you do
with my best friend?

No, you don't understand.

I lost you.

What?

You never lost me.
I'm right here.

No, you don't get it.

No, I do get it.

Look, all you have to do
is show up tomorrow,

and then we'll finally
be together

for the rest of our lives.

Isn't that what you want too?

Of course, but...

Elliot, you always
overthink everything.

You have to finally
let yourself be happy.

That's all it takes.

It's just a choice
that you have to make,

a switch that you have
to flick on.

Do you love me, Elliot?

What?

Do you love me?

Of course I love you.

I've always loved you.

Great, because I love you too.

So how about it, then?

You wanna start this new life
with me or what?

More than anything.

Okay, then it's settled.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Help.

C‐call someone.

Please.

Call an ambulance.

I can't move.

I need an ambulance.

But I'll lose her.

And I can't lose her again.

I'm sorry.

I think you should
look away too.

Please, don't judge me.

This was inevitable.

You saw the earthquakes.

Both of us can't exist here
in this world.

I had no other choice.
