large conference room table
with a team of lawyers. Tyrell wellick who is vice president of Evil corporation
starts conversation and says that If you give man a gun he can rob the bank,but if
you give him a bank he will rob the world. He says according to him Power belongs

sorry to Elliot and says that he knows its not a legal way call him like this.
He is impressed by Elliot work and asks him to join his corporation as the head

become multi millionaire in coming five years.
Elliot demands some
time to think about it. Tyrell asks other lawyers to leave the room.Then Tyrell
says him that because of hackers, he is the interim CEO of E conglomerate and soon
become the permanent and when it is official he will be the youngest CEO of the
world. He calls it serendipitous then laughs strangely. Elliot stares silently.
Tyrell stands and walks over to him – he says they’re going to revamp their
network and security protocols and take it all internal. He says they’ll be
done with Allsafe and says that will send them out of business.
He tells Elliot he belongs there with
him and says he wanted him to have a look on all the aspects of this offer before
taking a firm decision. Elliot refuses to take this offer and says he’s happy
with his current job. Tyrell walks away and started looking down to the street
from the glass walls. Elliot grabs his backpack and walks out. The suits that
nabbed him drop him back off and give him a card with a number to reach Tyrell
in case he needs to talk. The guy says to call him Mr X then laughs and says
it’s from the JFK movie.he asks whether he has seen the movie or not?If no then
he says Elliot to watch the movie for God’s sake.
Elliot the leaves the car.Shayla is
waiting outside his place and asks if his radiator is working since hers isn’t.
He asks for a reup of the morphine and she says she doesn’t have the other drug
to balance him and reminds him he told her not to sell to him unless she has
both. He stares and she caves in and says he has to promise not to do too much
til she gets the other from Fernando.
Elliot snorts morphine then hacks
Tyrell and says it’s surprisingly easy. He looks at his emails and says his
life looks happy and perfect and wonders if the guy knows he was going to hack
him and if he let him. Elliot panics and says he has to wipe everything. He
starts nuking memory cards and destroying his hard drives. Once done, he looks
at a photo of he and his mom – a Polaroid. He snorts more morphine and says
he’s taking more than he should then says it’s an off week.
The next day at work,
his boss Gideon Goddard showed him a video sent by fsociety, demanding that
their leader Terry Colby be released.And if the don’t meet their demands they
will hack down their systems and ruin them completely. Because of this, he
decided to sever all ties from the group.
He goes home and sees someone is in
his shower. It’s Darlene. He asks why she’s in the shower. She says she was
waiting on him.She says she needs to borrow her clothes since her dress has cum
stains on it then says she’s kidding. She says the dog crapped on the bed and
says he needs to walk it. Elliot asks Shayla to take Flipper for a while. He
and Darlene leave and get on the subway. He asks why she knows where he lives
and she says she doesn’t live anywhere now because the douche she was living
with proposed to her and she had to leave. Elliot is panicking and thinks that
he needs to confess to Gideon.
They go into fsociety and everyone
applauds him. A bunch of others greet him and Darlene says they need to hear
the plan on Steel Mountain. Mr Robot says the lines may not be clean on the
Colby project. He pushes back and they agree to check the lines again. Mr Robot
says he needs to focus on the next phase of the plan then says they’re going to
blow up the natural gas plant Comet near Steel Mountain. It’s the data storage
site for most major corporations including Evil Corp. Elliot says Tyrell knows
Colby isn’t the hacker. Mr Robot says Evil Corp will be focused on the data
dumps so they won’t see the attack coming.
Mr Robot says they will
make Steel Mountain go kablooey along with Evil Corp’s soul. Elliot asks about
people living nearby and workers. Mr Robot says they’ll set off alarms to warn
them. He says it’s war and people will die. He says once they blow up the
pipeline, Darlene’s worm will kick into high gear. Mr Robot says the Dark Army
is working for them too. Mr Robot says an explosion is the only way to destroy
data off the grid. Elliot says he’s not killing anyone.
Mr Robot asks if he’s a one or a
zero, a yes or no, will he act or not. Elliot says he’s being staring at a
computer screen too long and says life isn’t that binary but Mr Robot says
every choice in life is a zero or one. He tells Elliot if he walks out the
door, he’s no longer a part of this and is a zero. He says he can stay and
change the world and become a one. He asks again if you’re a one or zero.
Elliot says there’s an innocent man in jail.
At Shayla's house , his
dealer of withdrawal medication, he found the gangster Fernando Vera high on drugs, who said he did something bad
to her. Elliot rushed to help Shyla, and she told him that Fernando was the
only one who could supply his withdrawal medications. He still reported the
gangster to the police, though, which later led to his arrest.
When Elliot met with
his therapist Krista Gordon, she told him that he was falling back into his old
habits. The episode ended with a cliffhanger,Mr Robot says maybe Elliot
deserved to be hurt for violating his trust. Elliot says he was just eight. Mr
Robot shoves him off the fence at the pier and he goes down about 25 feet into
a bunch of debris and garbage.
