Mr. Robot

I will be the youngest executive

this company has ever seen.

All right, you know, I'll take it if you leave us alone.

- Thank you. - All right?

Check track two out.

- Well, track two. - All right, man.

Why didn't you tell me about the DAT file?

Worked at Evil Corp his whole life,

and out of the blue he got fired.

No one knew why. He had leukemia.

Made me swear to never tell anyone.

Finally, I got so worried, told my mom.

When he found out, he got pissed.

You ever think you deserved it?

I was eight years old...

You didn't commit to the sacred pact you'd formed.

My approach within our business units

is to first invest in new technologies

and develop prototypes in order to understand

the technology potential,

because despite the recent success

of our cyber security team,

our company currently still has

72 potential hacker vulnerabilities

in our primary and secon... oh, wait.

It's 73, you stupid piece of shit.

Again.

Our company currently still has

73 potential hacker vulnerabilities

in our primary and secondary data centers.

Now is not the time to be encumbered

by the company's tragic and shameful loss

of our chief Te...

Too formal, God damn it.

Warm it up. Don't be a cold robot.

Again.

Now is not the time to be encumbered

by the company's tragic and shameful loss

of our chief technology officer.

We have to be swift in naming the replacement CTO,

and, sir, I would like to suggest it be me.

For the sake of our company,

that we make our decision today,

my promotion...

My internal promotion shows not only our confidence

as a company, but strength in our boldness to the public.

Thank you for your time.

You will be the next CTO of this company.

You will be the next CTO of this company.

You will be the next CTO of this company.

Sure you don't want anything?

Pellegrino, tea?

Sir, thank you again for seeing me.

Tyrell, I'm gonna have to reschedule this.

- Anwar, set up another time. - Sir, it's just that I think...

I get it, I get it.

We'll get another meeting on the books right away.

We've got a really good CTO candidate

the board is very excited about.

They're not ready to discuss it yet.

We'll loop you in.

Just give us a couple of weeks, hmm?

Uh, put Wellick back on the books.

Two weeks.

Oh, nice tie.

Let me guess.

Brioni?

Great taste, as always.

Be well.

I'll email your assistant the details.

If you could,

just email it to me directly.

This is too important for me to miss.

Mr. Wellick, we're here.

You think I could have 300 this time?

Spoken like a true capitalist.

Bad day at the office?

No ki...

Please, enough. No more.

Most coders think debugging software

is about fixing a mistake,

but that's bullshit.

Debugging's actually all about finding the bug,

about understanding why the bug was there to begin with,

about knowing that its existence was no accident.

It came to you to deliver a message,

like an unconscious bubble floating to the surface,

popping with a revelation you've secretly known all along.

I don't know why I'm saying all of this.

Maybe it's because I'm pumped up on whatever Sm... -

legal drug dealers like Eli Lilly

make money off nowadays.

But usually it's because there's a sense it's coming.

A bug buzzing its way towards me

to gum up the works until it forces me to make a call.

Kill me or embrace me.

Or maybe I'm just freaking out because I never thought

I'd wake up to find these two women staring back at me.

Are you awake?

I don't know.

What are you doing here?

We talked maybe a few hours ago

when I first got here.

You don't remember?

They said I was your emergency contact.

Um, right.

Um, you told them to call your psychiatrist.

You can't leave until you talk to one.

So I'm gonna wait outside.

Hey.

Do you remember requesting me from the staff?

You requested me because the police said that...

I got jumped by a bunch of kids.

It's not the end of the world.

They wanted to do a full drug panel, and you refused.

May I ask why?

Elliot, if we can't have a conversation about this...

I've been taking morphine.

Why?

I don't have a good enough reason to give you.

I wish I did, but I don't.

Maybe we should consider rehab.

I'm not a junkie.

Then you'll need to prove it to me.

Submit to a bimonthly drug test voluntarily.

That's the only way that I'll recommend your release.

Hospitals.

A heavily networked one like this

are almost too easy to hack.

This is William Highsmith.

He's not only the head of the IT department here,

he is the IT department.

He's also an idiot,

not that I blame him because the people that hired him

are also idiots.

The poor guy only gets a budget of about 7,000 bucks a year,

and he's supposed to protect their network

from people like me?

He never stood a chance.

He uses useless virus scans, dated servers,

and security software that runs on Windows 98.

It's one of the reasons why I made this place

my primary care facility.

I can make my health records

look like every other obedient zombie out there.

Okay.

You don't have to worry.

I'm not gonna do morphine again.

Hey, you got some matches?

Thank you.

That's a nice breakfast.

Sorry. Credit card system is down.

Like I said,

the most difficult thing about debugging

isn't fixing the bug.

It's all about finding the bug.

For Evil Corp, Mr. Robot found their bug in me.

I was the mistake that led to all of this.

I have to ask you one thing.

Did you have something to do with Vera getting busted?

Shit, Elliot.

You said you weren't gonna do anything.

He's on murder charges, do you know that?

His whole crew bounced.

I mean, I don't know what I'm gonna do for money now.

Just tell me, Elliot,

and don't lie.

Did you do something?

No.

Hmm.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you okay?

I mean, with everything that happened...

I'm fine.

What happened to your door?

You're not supposed to be here, okay?

I changed the locks for a reason.

Mmm.

Interesting toy,

but you may want to spend a little more scratch

if you actually want it to, you know,

work.

Check it.

Jessica Alba says she wants to join Fsociety.

Jesus, what happened to your face?

What's going on?

Well, I am not the princess of social graces,

but typically it goes something like,

- "Hi, this is Darlene". - Stop.

You need to leave.

Babe, seriously, we have a lot of shit to discuss,

so if you wouldn't mind...

Get out.

I suggest you get a grip.

What was she talking about?

I got to get to work.

Work? Are you serious?

You can't go to work. You have to call in sick.
