Mr. Robot (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 8 - 408 Request Timeout - full transcript

If they show up and we're
gone, my family's dead.

My life puts everyone I love
in danger.

[tense music]

My instructions were
to find your brother.

Well, in that case,

my phone's not gonna
do you any good.

I just wiped it.

Mr. Robot is the reason
why you can't remember?

You didn't exist
when I was a kid, did you?

- Shh.
- Do not do this to him!

He's not supposed to know!

Why were you afraid
of your father?

Were you afraid
he was going to ask you

to do something
you didn't want to do?

[sniffles]
Yes.

This was our runaway hideout.
He always came here.

Remember somehow we ended up
at the Queens Museum instead?

When you're eight,
running away can be fun.

Where are we going?

[gasping]

You sick fuck!

She needs help.
She is dying over there.

Oh, I'm aware.

I want nothing more than
to get her to our medical team

- and have her stitched up ASAP.
- Bullshit.

Even if I gave you
Elliot's location,

you would just let her die.

That couldn't be further
from the truth.

I'm not saying it's been all
blue skies with Dominique,

but most of our moles have
some growing pains at first,

and she is honest, loyal,
and she loves her family,

all of which are qualities
that make her easy to control.

[gasping]

No, Dominique has pluck.

Losing her is
the last thing I want.

[whispering] Don't do it.

Don't tell her anything.

[shuddering]

See?

I knew you two shared
a special connection.

Even now, I can sense it.

It's like a kind of...

Phantom electricity.

I wonder, did Dominique ever
introduce you to her mother?

Can't say she did.

Oh, that's too bad.
Trudie is my favorite.

[continues gasping]

You know, at first,
I thought our relationship

would be purely tactical.

Isolate the mark,
ingratiate yourself,

find a pain point...
you know, the usual.

But then I got to know her,

and she is just
so lovely and kind.

Every other word out of her
mouth is about you, Dominique.

She is so desperate
for you to find someone

that she even looked to me
as a potential match.

Can you imagine that?

I was so flattered.

You really have to admire
a mother who cares so much

about her daughter's happiness
that she's willing

to ignore certain red flags.

Like what, the fact
that you're fucking insane?

Mm.

You know,
when I was in high school,

my parents discovered my
profound interest in taxidermy.

They had similar concerns,

so they had me undergo
a series of tests,

but the results were
always underwhelming.

No signs
of personality disorder,

no unusual thought processes.

All the doctors arrived
at the same conclusion.

That I'm remarkably normal.

You wouldn't be fucking
doing this if you were normal.

She can't breathe over there.

Because of you.

Let's remember that.
