Mr Robot (2015) s04e09 Episode Script

Conflict

I'm a mercenary.
I don't play fair.
I would rather see you lose than win myself.
- The Deus Group.
- We can take them all down.
Just need their phone numbers.
Get them all in a room together.
I'm resigning.
We've been waiting for Elliot Alderson's next move, and this could be it.
We will not wait for them to make a mistake.
Arrange a Deus Group meeting to confirm a successor Wellick.
Make sure you take care of Whiterose.
We got the access we needed to transfer the money from the bank's site.
We can rob them blind.
This is all my fault.
You want to help me? Go find Elliot, and take them down.
I own everything.
Every bribe, blackmail, extortion everything will go public.
Mr.
Alderson, he's too much of a liability.
If we kill him, his shipping hack dies with him.
It's time he learns we're on the same side.
See? They all came back.
Everyone's okay again.
Angela, whatever Whiterose told you is a lie.
I know it's possible.
I've seen it.
I don't know if I can go through with the hack anymore.
Look at me.
I am not the one Darlene talked to.
You shouldn't be sitting there.
That's not your seat.
- Why? - They're not ready yet, so we need to wait.
How is he? It's not going to happen today.
There's no point in waiting here now.
We aren't going anywhere.
You know where he is.
You need to bring him here.
It's not that simple.
We're gonna have to help him through this.
Mom.
Maybe we should just tell him now About everything.
Then Elliot will be okay.
Right? I'm telling you.
He's not ready.
When will he be ready? You've let this go on far too long.
It's a little more complicated than that.
I didn't know everything that was happening.
That's a lie.
You've been part of these shenanigans from the beginning.
You encourage it.
Okay, okay.
Just stop.
Yes, I'll admit it.
I did.
I never thought he'd take things this far.
There's nothing I can do now.
Just talk to him.
We have to finish his mission.
Once the hack is done, maybe then I can get through to him.
And how are you gonna do that? I'm gonna show him what he did.
And if it doesn't work? We can't go on like this.
And that poor boy.
We may lose him forever.
For God's sake, he hasn't woken up since That's not true.
Darlene.
She said they talked two months ago.
He woke up for her Which means she might be the one who could help us.
Great.
You decided to show.
I know.
You weren't expecting me.
But I'm here for Elliot, same as you.
What can you expect after what happened? Life throws you an error code like that, you don't have the luxury of a fucking pop-up explanation.
So what are you supposed to do? Move on without answers, or stay down and drive yourself crazy with questions? That's where Elliot is mired in conflict.
And that's why I'm here.
How we doing? Got line of sight on the IMSI catcher to the front door.
Deus members should be arriving soon.
Where the fuck have you been? Got held up.
What kind of answer is that? You had me worried.
I told you the Dark Army is looking for you.
The day didn't go exactly as planned.
Cut me some slack, okay? Things went a little sideways.
Oh.
Really? Is that so? Things went a little sideways for you, huh? You want to hear about the fucking night I've had? This isn't a pissing contest, sweetheart.
Let's just get back to work.
What the fuck are you doing? Why are you here? Where is he? You don't want him here right now.
Why the fuck not? He just can't.
Not now.
What happened to him? He'll be fine.
He just needs some time.
I don't trust you.
I don't need you to trust me.
I just need you to help me pull this off.
Tell me what's going on, or I'm walking.
I can't.
He needs to be the one to tell you when he's ready.
What the fuck are you doing here? Do you realize how risky this is? What if someone saw you? She's with me.
Out with it.
Why are you here? You're supposed to be across the street with your Deus pals.
There's one last thing I need from you.
Well, it's a little late in the game to be making demands.
It's it's not a demand.
It's a favor.
Given the danger you've put us all in just by being here, I hope it's worth it.
It is.
What's this? I want you to destroy Whiterose's machine.
Everything you need to know about her project, it's on here.
Promise me.
After tonight, she'll be ruined.
Why is this important to you? Because it was important to Angela.
It's what she wanted.
Okay.
I promise.
Remember, you gotta keep everyone there until we grab their phone numbers.
Don't let anyone leave, especially Whiterose.
What was that about? Hey.
What the hell does Price know about Angela? What is going on? I'll fill you in, but right now, we gotta get started.
We're already behind.
In order to rob the Deus Group blind, we need to get access to transfer funds from Cyprus National Bank.
To do that, we need every Deus asshole's phone number.
Why? Because Darlene can then match each of those phone numbers to its corresponding Cyprus National Bank account number and initiate a transfer.
Once she initiates the transfer, it'll trigger a security 2FA code that'll be texted to every Deus dickhead's phone.
Then Darlene will run a script to automatically grab those 2FA codes, and transfer all their money before they have time to stop it.
So, yeah, I'm worried.
For what, though, I'm not sure.
But whatever it is It's coming.
I can't believe Angela never told me Price was her father.
Maybe she didn't know.
I miss her.
Darlene, I No, I don't want to talk about it.
I just I just wanted to say that.
Okay.
Something's not right.
No one's gone in or out of that building other than Price.
Wait, you think they're onto us? I don't know.
I see I'm the first to arrive.
Technically, I was first.
You want to tell me what's going on? I thought we'd start with a drink.
I'm an old man, Zhang.
I gave up on foreplay long ago.
Let's just skip ahead to the part where you try to fuck me.
If they are onto us, if the Deus Group doesn't show, everything's we've been working on will be a big fucking fail.
If Elliot were here, what would he do? He'd look for abnormalities, incompatibilities, anything that isn't adding up, any conflicts.
What are you doing? Looking.
- For? - I don't know yet.
Elliot saved an image of Tyrell's phone, swiped all his credentials.
If Whiterose thought something was up, she would've told the other members, including the guy she was having the meeting for.
All you had to do was nothing, just sit idly by and wait for the new year to arrive, but you couldn't leave well enough alone.
I wanted to let you live into retirement I planned on it as a gift of sorts.
I guess you can say I always get swept up when it comes to the holidays.
But then you had to be naughty.
Come on, Zhang.
You know I've never been the nice type.
Let me drive.
Maybe his calendar.
After your abrupt resignation and Mr.
Alderson's curious disappearance, it wasn't hard to figure out that you two were working together.
Tell me Mr.
Alderson's plan, and these gentlemen will take you home and inject you with maitotoxin.
You will die in your sleep.
The papers will say you passed from heart failure.
Sad, but painless.
Or, we could go the other way.
You're well aware of our methods.
So you canceled the Deus Group meeting based on this half-cocked conspiracy theory of yours.
This last-minute change will not sit well with the others.
Downtown near Wall Street.
Hey, are you hearing this? Let's move.
We gotta go.
Do-or-die time.
They're probably already inside, which means we'll have to find a way in to get a line of sight.
Price didn't know about the venue change.
So what? Why didn't they tell him? I don't know.
He's persona non grata on his way out.
Who gives a shit? Why the heavy security detail? Price is one guy.
If they wanted to get rid of him, they don't need a team of Dark Army soldiers to do it.
They're not there to kill Price.
They're there to protect someone.
The meeting is taking place as we speak.
I'm sure Mr.
Wellick, the new CEO of E Corp, is impressing everyone with his smile.
Unfortunately, I'll be uncharacteristically late for the gathering, but I'm sure they'll understand.
Will they? Hmm.
I'd expect mutiny when they realize that Tyrell Wellick, your guest of honor and the sole purpose for the meeting, will not be in attendance.
I'm gonna stay.
What? You have the exploit to verify the phone numbers ready to go.
No, we can't split up.
What if something else goes wrong with the plan? You know, it just occurred to me.
We've never gotten drunk together, have we? I think this might be a good night to start.
What do you think? The plan is pointless if we don't get Whiterose, too.
She's gotta be in there.
I have to stay.
That makes no sense.
We only have one IMSI capture.
- We need to do this together.
- We don't have a choice.
Now go.
Mr.
Wellick is nowhere to be found.
We're still searching the tri-state area A waste of time.
Stop.
Tell them all to stop.
Is this part of your plan? Mr.
Wellick's mysterious disappearance? What did you do to him? Truthfully I have no idea where Wellick is.
He may be dead.
Mm.
No, no, no.
Now I think of it, he did mention something about wanting to travel the great southwest in a '65 El Camino convertible, wind in his hair He's beaten you! You lost today.
Doesn't mean we can't fight back tomorrow, but right now, we have to leave and warn the Deus Group before this gets worse.
We are not going anywhere.
If you won't listen to reason, then I'm done.
Whoa.
It's bad management when your best employees either walk off the job, or blow their brains out.
Fuck am I gonna get in there? Perimeter is secure.
Make sure these doors stay locked the rest of the evening.
Goddamn.
Christmas Day? This better be good.
Yeah, he's a dickwad, but a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States That runaround for tonight's location details Iraq's a proper mess.
Deus needs to get its giant dick out of that sand sooner than later.
Rousseff is fucked.
He did it to himself.
Or was that us? How are you, my friend? Just came off an 11-hour flight on Christmas Day.
- Ah.
- My wife is furious.
And my girlfriend? She won't return my phone calls.
Whatever Zhang has planned better be good.
Couldn't agree more.
Evening, gentlemen.
Hors d'oeuvres? Speaking of, where is our host? Back inside.
This entrance is off limits tonight.
Go.
There's no fucking way.
Well? Who is it? Hello? That sure as hell doesn't sound like Price.
Mr.
Alderson.
It's good to hear your voice.
I was hoping we could talk in person.
You once told me that we'd never see each other again.
What makes you want to see me now? Call it a change of mind.
A realization.
Nah.
If I'm hearing your voice on the other end of this call, I'm good.
And what does that mean? You'll know soon enough.
A proposal.
You stop whatever it is you're planning, and I give you information that will prove to be very valuable to you.
You think I'm gonna trust you? Let me earn your trust by sharing first.
It is about your friend Angela.
- What about her? - You see, Elliot You think Angela's dead, but she's not.
You sent me a picture of her dead body, you sick fucking fuck.
And you believe what most people believe? Only what is right in front of you? I expected more from you.
You think I'm gonna believe this bullshit? You killed her.
Angela's dead.
No, Elliot.
Angela's alive.
And if you allow me, I can take you to her.
Would you like that, Elliot? Would you like to see Angela again? To hear her voice? To hold her hand? Elliot, are you there? Yes.
I know you have regrets, Elliot, and pain.
I know there are things in your life you wish were different, just the same as Angela, and I can show you a way that you can make it all go away, just as I did for her.
You can reset everything and live in the world you deserve, a world without all the pain you're carrying, without your past, without your regrets.
Please, Elliot.
Let me show you the world that I showed your closest friend.
I saw what you did to her before you killed her.
That wasn't Angela.
You used her.
You turned her into someone else.
Then don't take my word for it.
Ask her yourself.
Elliot, we don't have to fight like this anymore.
Let's finally make peace with each other, as we were always meant to do.
Let go of the anger and the hatred you've built up towards me.
Understand I've only wished to help.
Here's the thing.
I don't need help right now.
You do.
Good evening, people of Earth.
We are fsociety.
We have risen from the ashes to bring you a Christmas miracle, a miracle that will finally reveal our true nemesis.
The secret club running the world is the Deus Group, a clandestine collection of the world's richest and most powerful people.
Deus Group, we know you, and we know what you do.
And tonight, the whole world will learn about you.
Most of you watching have never heard the name Deus Group.
That's because they've worked hard to keep it that way.
To begin to understand their reach, to see the evil crimes they're responsible for, click on the link below to download all their private files.
And if you'd like to meet the despicable individuals who have co-opted your lives for profit, come meet them now in person while they wine and dine at Cipriani.
I am sure they'd appreciate the visit.
Deus Group, you have been owned.
fsociety and the world will cheer as we watch your black hearts stop beating.
This is not a warning.
This is the beginning of the end.
We are fsociety.
Hey.
Did you see the video? Yeah.
Hopefully, that'll do the trick to smoke these fuckers out.
Did you find Whiterose? Yeah.
I talked to her.
You what? Jesus Christ.
You were supposed to hack her phone, not call it.
It was only for a second.
But it was Price's phone, so we still need to get Whiterose's number.
Are you okay? I don't know.
I don't know anymore.
Hey, Elliot? I'm glad you're back.
I gotta go.
What happened? There's a cell tower.
If I can see traffic on that tower No, I mean We can't get past her security and into the hotel.
We need her phone number.
Hey.
Are you gonna be okay? Only way this works is if we hit their accounts at the same time.
If the other members get the 2FA codes first, they'll alert Whiterose.
Just keep them in your line of sight.
I'll let you know when I've got it.
Sergey, you have to trust me.
We will get through this.
Everything will be all right.
Oh, don't listen to that Mason.
The man is an absolute buffoon.
No, no, don't leave.
Don't go outside.
Tell everyone to remain, Sergey.
Sergey? Hello? Hello? So that's it.
So that's your big move! You think that I can't survive being doxxed? I have no idea.
I'm as curious as you.
Hello? Come on! I can't do anything about it.
Look.
It's not working.
Obviously, it's not working.
- Shit.
- Private event tonight.
You can't be here.
Everyone, back it up.
A short time ago, fsociety resurfaced with a new video, and while the contents of that video remain largely unconfirmed, it focuses entirely on an international investment firm, the Deus Group.
It's a collection of powerful men whom fsociety claims to be guilty of international crimes, and as you can see behind me, onlookers have gathered with hopes of catching a glimpse of any Deus Group members.
All this over a little pipsqueak in a hoodie.
Where are we at, kiddo? I've got a bunch of numbers.
I just can't tell if any of them are hers.
Truth be told, I never liked Mr.
Alderson his anxious demeanor, his juvenile anger.
But he does bring something to the table well, for me.
Mr.
Alderson is the only person I believe actually able to hurt you Truly hurt you.
And clearly, you believe it, too.
Come on.
Why do we have to cut these things so goddamn close? What are you doing? Peaceful out here.
Cold winter air.
Are you really going to make me force you into the car? You know, I almost let myself believe you When you said Angela was still alive.
I know what kind of conman you are, how you operate.
Even though I saw your men drag her dead body away, I still wanted to believe what you were saying.
When you spoke to Mr.
Alderson, I felt the power of your promise.
- - And all I could think is, well maybe that's what my daughter thought when you came to her.
The desperation to have all her pain go away, to have her past rewritten and that's why it works, right? The one thing every person has: regret.
You weaponize that, and then you use that weapon against them to destroy them.
But here's the thing I've realized as of late.
With Angela didn't work.
Angela lives on in the lives of the people who love her.
And that love that love fuels their unwavering resolve to turn the tables to destroy you.
You just remember, Zhang.
You did all this to yourself.
You should take your own advice, Phillip.
Accept your truth.
It's over.
Yeah.
Yes.
I suppose it is.
It happened.
It actually happened.
What? Something wrong, old sport? What is this? Well, if it's what I think it is, we're all broke.
No.
That's impossible.
Apparently not.
Where is it, Phillip? Where is my fucking money? Gone.
- No.
- I warned you.
I told you long ago.
I'm a mercenary.
I'd rather see you lose than win myself.
- That can't be.
- Finally.
I found a way to take what's most important to you.
No, no.
Your project, your dream of another world it's as good as dead.
Think of it this way, Zhang.
You didn't lose the game.
You just ran out of time.
And like that Rome falls.
No more Deus Group.
No more top 1% of the top 1%.
No more controlling every piece of our lives.
No more playing God without permission.
We took them down.
All of them.
FBI.
Open the door.
We have a warrant.
Minister Zhang, we have a warrant.
FBI.
Open the door.
Minister Zhang, come out.
We have a warrant for your arrest.
Minister Zhang.
Minister Zhang, we're coming in.
Three, two, one, execute, execute, execute.
