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.

When he found out, he got pissed.

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

Mr. Robot SO1E03 Original air date 07/08/2015
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

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.
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.
I have to go.
A bug is never just a mistake.
It represents something bigger.
An error of thinking.
- Sir! Sir! Sir! - That makes you who you are.
Sir! You dropped your wallet.
- Thanks. - Stop!
Stop! He stole my purse.
That was your wallet?
Yes, that was my wallet you just gave him.
Stop!
He got into my system, and he wants me
to put the CD on one of the computers at work.
- Why does he want to do that? - I don't know, Stella.
He didn't give me a full explanation.
So he's got naked pics of me?
Is that the only thing you're seriously taking away
from this conversation?
Hey, babe.
- Hey. - How was your run?
Strange.
Someone dropped their wallet,
and I picked it up to give it to them, but then this...
Nothing strange about that... just shows how good
of a person you are.
Always have been.
Almost to a fault.
What does that mean?
Just that you...
you're too good for the world.
That's probably why I love you.
I'm gonna hop in the shower.
I told you I can't talk.
You have 100 hours precisely.
After that, everything we own will be released.

Morton's notwithstanding, I cook a mean steak.
What? Can't a boss invite his favorite employees to dinner?
No, that's cool, but I got plans.
Can you guys give us a minute?
Yeah.
You want to tell me what's going on?
- Not really. - Oh.
You're missing work, you come in looking like that,
and you expect me not to ask questions?
Look, I don't know how much you want me asking
about your personal life, but...
Not at all, actually.
I mean, I don't mean to be rude.
I was... I'm just being honest.
Mr. Robot may have found Evil Corp's bug,
but he didn't find mine.
That's the only way to protect myself.
Never show them my source code.

Elliot, I cannot believe you work here.

Look, I thought I'd swing by, take you to lunch.
Oh, that's nice.

I'm not going anywhere until you do,

Either way, I'm gonna have fun.

Uh, nothing.
You should probably order something.

I'll... I'll have an Appletini.
You should take it as a compliment, guy.
These things are goddamn delicious.
I get it.
Compliments make me uncomfortable too.
I find that hard to believe.
Yeah, who am I kidding? I love compliments.
$12.
I really don't think you enjoyed that.

Corp's hacking scandal continues
with the release of these latest emails.
Information stemming from the latest dump reveals
that Terry Colby was one of three high-level executives
involved in the cover-up
of the widely publicized
Washington Township toxic waste scandal.
If these reports are true,
Colby may be facing more indictments.
In the ensuing 24 months
after the alleged toxic waste leak in 1993,
26 employees died from similar types of leukemia.
Evil Corp, however, managed to get the class-action lawsuit
filed against it by the surviving victims dismissed,
claiming there was no direct evidence linking
their factories to the diagnoses.
Now these emails indicate that Colby was in fact aware
of the dangerous levels of toxicity
and kept it a secret as it
"would not be cost-effective to retool the current systems
in place even if there are potential lawsuits".
Mr. Colby was unavailable for comment, but his lawyer...

crumbling before my eyes.

Nope. He wasn't home.

Look, I know I have a problem.
I'm not denying that.

Where's the CD?
It's in my... in my bag. Why?
He has my bank account, Ollie.
- And my dad's bank account. - How did they...
Our accounts are linked because of my student loans.
I used your laptop to access it.
He has my dad's social security,
his credit card numbers, everything.
Okay.
Okay, that is bad,
but I'm sure the cops will figure out a way...
If we don't do what this guy says
and we go to the cops, then he's just going to sell
our information to the highest bidder,
and me and my dad are completely screwed.
Do you have any idea how difficult it is
to come back from massive identity theft like this?
What are you saying?
Angela, are you crazy?
No, we cannot just infect Allsafe's network
because of this.
I'll lose my job.
And there it is.

Okay?
