Mr. Robot (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 7 - 407 Proxy Authentication Required - full transcript

Vera holds Krista hostage as he tries to force Elliot into joining him by understanding Mr. Robot. Elliot realizes a shocking truth.

[dramatic music]

When I was a kid
and my dad pushed me

- out the window...
- Told you I was sorry.

You're just sick
and don't wanna admit it.

- You weren't pushed.
- Shh.

You jumped.

[glass shatters]

We got the access we needed

to transfer the money

from the bank's side.

We can rob them blind.



I don't want Elliot
to be my prisoner.

I want him to be my partner.

I gotta break him
so I can build him up.

I see you now.

That is how you own a nigga.

I'm gonna break Elliot,

and you're gonna be
my aluminum bat.

Mr. Robot.

That is how you break him.

Elliot, I was kidnapped.

He wanted to know
everything about you.

The universe got big plans

- for us, bruh.
- I'm sorry.

I'm scared.

I've been waiting
for this moment

for a while now.

Sorry, just...

Didn't expect it to hit me
like this.

[voice breaking]
I'm all emotional and shit.

Told myself I'd keep it cool,
you know.

Told myself I wouldn't do
no fanboy shit like this,

but I'm sorry, dude.

I just have so much respect
for your ass,

it makes me all...

[rings click]

Yo, what's that word
those weird-ass Hasids use

for this shit?

Mm, "verklempt"?

That's it, verklempt.

You... well...

You like a hero to me.

A hero I did wrong,
not gonna lipstick that pig.

But it was a turning point
in my story nonetheless.

And something tells me
it was a turning point

in your story too.

[sniffles]

Javi, make our guest here
more comfortable.

[groans]

We're on the second floor
of a three-story walk-up,

two armed dopes
and a crazy meth head

who thinks he's Deepak Chopra.

Only exit's the front door,

but I seem to remember

there's a fire escape
in the back.

Not thinking about

an escape plan right now.

Escape is the only
fucking thing

we should be thinking about.

Not until we find Krista.

Kiddo, need I remind you

about Dominican Psycho
over here?

Krista was just bait.
Now she's probably dead.

Well, we need to find out.

I just need to get him doing
what he loves to do best: talk.

- He'll tell us what we want...
- Yo!

You gonna say something?

It's been a minute.

How the fuck you been?

Truth is,
I'm... I'm a little confused.

You came looking for me
two months ago.

Why'd you wait until today
to make a move?

Well, if you must know,

I had to prepare,
set the stage for our meet.

This shit is bigger
than Frost-Nixon, you know?

[chuckles]

Had to be ready.

Ready for what?

For you, bruh.

You a formidable adversary.

You ain't no corner bitch
I can stick my dick in.

Need to buy you dinner first.

That what this is, dinner?

Shit, nigga,
he trying to make a metaphor.

Yo, V, I thought you said
this kid a genius, bro.

I swear to God, if you don't
shut the fuck up...

How about we just cut
the bullshit

and you tell me why I'm here?

[lighter clicks]

[lighter clicks]

After our unfortunate...

parting of ways,

I had to return back home
to the DR.

Hadn't been back there
since I was little...

[suspenseful music]

When people didn't think
much of me.

It actually reminded me
of a dream I used to have,

that I would one day
own that island,

that the very land
everyone walked on,

slept on, fucked on
would be mine.

Settle in, this looks like
it's gonna be a long one.

♪ ♪

Except there I was,

back in the DR
with those same motherfuckers

who didn't believe in me...

said I wouldn't amount
to nothing.

This time, they was wrong.

I had tools now.

I had vision
I didn't have before.

So I started hustling.

I set up shop...

couple of corners
here and there.

At first, on my own.

Then a few other niggas
got impressed, joined in.

[muffled]
Couple of block battles

Matter of fact,
it was easier than ever.

And like a virus,
we multiplied.

Within 43 days,

the Dominican and Haiti.

[gasps]

[breathing shakily]

I was running everything
and everyone

from the president
to the campesino.

And by day 87,

I finally had my own island.

Then on the 88th day,

I got bored.

I had everything I ever wanted,

but all I felt was emptiness.

[ominous music]

One day, Javi over here

brings this crazy old shaman

who says he can help me.

So I said,
"All right, let him in."

He sat my ass down,
prepared me a cocktail

of this powder... pink powder,

red blood mixed in
with titty milk.

He looked into my eyes
and said,

"You're asleep.

It's time you wake up."

♪ ♪

Then held the cup to my lips.

♪ ♪

You wanna know what I did,
Elliot?

I gulped that shit down.

And then...

I just gotta be real
with you, bruh...

I shit myself.

Then I puked myself.

Back and forth, back and forth,
shitting, puking,

till all the shit and puke
poured out of me.

The shaman then takes my face
in his hands, says...

"It's time for you to go home."

♪ ♪

I didn't know what to think.

I told him...

I was home.

And then it hit me
why I was feeling empty

that whole time.

Home isn't where you from.

to be.

I was born Dominican,
but here...

New York...

This is my home.

This is where I thrived.

And there I laid,
weeping like a bitch,

telling the shaman
I could never go back.

I failed there.

Shaman shook his head no.

Told me I had to reopen
that path,

with the man who closed it.

my partner.

So what you think?

Where's Krista?

[thunder rumbling]

You want me to partner with you
for anything,

first things first,
I need to know where Krista is.

[objects clatter]

You forget we played
this game already?

That's why I'm asking.

[chuckling]

Now that I think about it,
this was Isaac's knife.

You remember him, don't you?

My brother.

This is probably the same one
he did your girl Shayla with.

[chuckles]

[thunder rumbling]

No one here wants to see
no rerun, bruh.

You're not gonna kill Krista.

She's the only thing
you got over me.

Can't believe,
with all that enlightenment,

you'd come back here
to be just as stupid

as you were last time.

Stupid?

Last time we did this dance,

Welcome to the party,
Mr. Robot.

I'm not here to party.

You wanna talk,

- What do you want?
- Yo.

I don't care who the fuck
you are.

You need to calm it down,

I'm not talking to you.

Where that courage now,
bitch?

Right fucking here.

Let's keep this friendly.

Yo, V, I ain't trying...

Peanuts, God damn it,

I said put the gun down!

What kind of name
is Mr. Robot anyway?

Some Nickelodeon bullshit, man.

What kind of operation
you running here, exactly?

- What's so funny?
- Nothing, man.

It's just a trip.

It's like I'm really talking
to another person.

That's because you are.

So stop wasting my time,
and start talking.

I thought we was talking.

What am I doing here?

I don't know.

That's a good question.

[lighter clicks]

Why... are... you...

Here?

When assholes like you
come around,

I make sure he has someone
on his side.

Oh, what that make you, then,
the muscle?

His protection?

Something like that.

[chair scrapes]

How you think that's going?

[both laugh]

[laughs]

Don't matter, though.

I ain't here to judge
your job performance.

I didn't ask what you do.
I asked you why you were here.

How did you start?

[thunder rumbling]

- He needed me.
- Why?

If you here to protect him,

that means he got hurt
real bad.

I just wanna know
what scared him so much

that he needed your bitch ass
to come to the rescue.

This is cute and all,
but I gotta be real with you.

[sighs]

You're too stupid to do this.

What is it that you think
I'm doing, exactly?

Trying to get inside my head.

Oh, I already in there.

You're so sure of yourself.

- I am.
- Why's that?

'Cause there's a method

to Elliot's madness,

and I think you know
what it is.

You wanna know what it is?

I'll tell you what it is.

He's smart.
He's angry.

Put those two things together,

you stay the fuck out
of the way.

Yeah, blah, blah, blah,
that's your spin zone

"Fox & Friends."

How 'bout you give me
the real headline?

[thunder rumbling]

You read her file.
Put two and two together.

His father died when he was
eight years old.

His mother treated him
like her own personal ashtray.

He needed someone to help him
cope with the world.

Voilà, you got me.

No doubt, shit's heavy,

but it ain't actionable.

I need details.

How 'bout we skip
the psychobabble

and get to why
we're really here?

You said you wanna own
this island

and you need my help.

So this job interview
isn't about my credentials.

It's about yours.

And like I said,
with your operation,

I don't know if you could run
a White Castle,

much less New York.

You want me to work for you.

It's clear you don't wanna
force me into it,

which means you gotta start
convincing me.

[car horns honk distantly]

Convincing you?

Let's not play dumb.

If she told you about me,

I gotta think she told you
about Five/Nine.

So you know the things
I've done,

things I've been able
to pull off.

I'm not someone
you push around with a gun.

I am the gun.

So yeah,
you gotta convince me.

Because right now,

if this is your master vision,

do yourself a favor.

Go back to that
little shaman of yours

and shit some more,
because you're clearly

still full of it.

[thunder rumbling]

I wanna own every corner
of this city.

I want them all
pushing my product.

And I mean everyone,
not just no drug dealers.

Every business,
every storefront,

every billboard in this city,
every train in every tunnel,

every pig in blue.

walking the streets

"suggests an emotional
